The camera drifts over a gunmetal grey sea, whitecaps like torn lace. The sky is bruised purple and ochre. No music. Just the whump-whump-whump of helicopter rotors.

(End of menu loop.)

Back to the aerial shot. The helicopter circles. Below, a tiny rowboat drifts unmanned toward the Norwegian trench. On the seat: a single woollen glove.

A black Land Rover tears down a single-track road. Headlights cut through vertical rain. Behind the wheel, a panicked hand – a woman’s ring on a chain hanging from the rearview mirror.
