In this second episode of "Trapped," the veneer of civilization seems to be eroding in the small Icelandic community of Logregan. A brief summation of this episode would be as follows: everything that CAN go wrong DOES go wrong! There is also a proclivity for voyeurism in this town with a man with a telescope observing neighbors and the latest gossip appearing on Twitter.
A new political dimension is introduced in the town council's plan to capitulate to the business interests of China in selling choice plots of their land, turning it over as a depot for Chinese sea traffic. But there is one old-timer who resists the plan and vows to stand firm.
The vicious Lithuanian criminal dealing in human trafficking is apprehended by Andri. The two Nigerian girls who were his captives are taken in one of the kind police officers to live in her home. The Logregan prison cell has no toilet, and when the criminal is being escorted to the facility, he gets the drop on the local police officer and makes his escape. But, as yet, there is no evidence linking the human trafficker to the murder.
In the meantime, the prodigal son, Hjortur Stefansson, has returned home. This was the young man wielding the knife on the ferry while working in the kitchen. He also got into a fight while the vessel was en route. Additionally, he was allegedly involved in an arson case in Spain. Andri's father-in-law believes that Hjortur was a "monster," who was responsible for starting the fire that took the life of his beloved daughter. Hjortur breaks into the factory and photographs the cadaver being held in storage in the locker, then, apparently, absconds with the primary piece of evidence in the murder case: the frozen torso.
There is also a problematic child in this drama, who is the youngest daughter of Andri and Agnes. The cruel little girl brutally taunts and bullies her classmate. Then, she darts off into the snowstorm with the other girls seeking her. The frantic relatives then head out themselves into the storm.
