[[spoiler: Andri is forced into a SuicideByCop situation and kills Bergur, for which he is ultimately convicted of manslaughter and given a two-year prison sentence. It turns out that Andri was right years ago about Ivar being Lina's murderer, but that brings little comfort, as its possible that his use of excessive force against Ivar is what led to the case against him falling apart. As Andri rightly points out at his trial, his [[MyGreatestMistake mistake]] set into motion a chain of events that led to the deaths of three young men - Ivar, Sverrir and Bergur - which is why he is ready to go to prison]].

* ArtifactTitle: The title "Trapped" made the most sense in the first season, when the town in which the story took place and the murder was investigated was cut off from the rest of the world by a snowstorm. The storm clears up towards the end of the season, and nothing similar has happened to justify the title since.
