His father, Frank, who is supposed to be looking after him, is nowhere to be seen. Liam opens up his bedroom window, and climbs barefoot into the snow. When he develops frostbite, he is rushed to hospital.

When Henry Tyson discovers Stoddart has been murdered, he makes a call to an old friend in Britain. DCI Eugene Morton, from the London Metropolitan Police, arrives to investigate. Anderssen is n't pleased at Morton 's arrival and immediately makes his feelings known.

Meanwhile, Morton receives advice from local teacher Markus Huseklepp, who turns to him after a violent confrontation with Frank Sutter. As the search for Natalie and Jason leads the team to an exploration bunker out on the glacier, they finally stumble upon a possible motive for the murder. As the team set out to find Jason 's brother Ciaran, Governor Hildur discovers Stoddart left a telephone message for his wife, which could thwart her plans to build a hotel on the glacier. `` Episode 4 '' Richard Laxton Stephen Brady 12 February 2015 ( 2015 - 02 - 12 ) 1.10 Ciaran is found beaten and gagged in a warehouse at the back of his shop, and he points the finger towards Ronnie Morgan.

Hildur organises a DNA test to confirm if the blood found on the shirt is Stoddard 's or Liam 's. Elena reveals he snuck out to have sex with her and left his son alone. The blood is confirmed to belong to Stoddard, but Frank is adamant that he found his son covered in blood and was not responsible for the murder.
