The Dominoes Start to Fall!
lavatch29 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
In this eighth episode, the dominoes start to fall with the arrest of both the sea captain and the nefarious engineer. These two suspects have clear ties to human trafficking. But what could be their connection to the two local murders?

In questioning the sea captain, Andri learns that the true operative in criminal activity is the engineer. A chase ensues in which Andri and his assistant are able to apprehend the man. The connection is established between the engineer and Guoni, the local hotel manager in the human trafficking ring.

The contrite sea captain is willing to cut a deal to save himself and his Danish family. The filmmakers try to turn an extremely depraved character into a slightly more human one by showing him in a Skype conversation with his daughters.

Andri's assistant in the police force has leaked Andri's personal report to the media. In that way, the investigation into the crime will continue, and Andi is now appointed to lead the investigation after the disgrace of Trausti.

The major revelation of this episode comes when Andri is engaged in the mundane task of doing laundry, and out pops the key to a padlock from the soiled trousers of his father-in-law, Eirikur. In the closing moments of the program, the key opens the lock to the shed where the town mayor was murdered.
