Here is the final version of scene 1:

FADE IN:

EXT. SMALL TOWN IN ICELAND - WINTER

The camera opens with a long shot of a small, picturesque town in Iceland--an array of colourful houses, dusted in a pristine layer of white snow, with the surrounding mountains looking magnificent against the pale pink and blue sky. The camera then zooms in on a cozy-looking knitting shop, charmingly lit up with assorted stringed lights and cheerful-looking Christmas ornaments.

INT. EIRIK'S KNITTING SHOP

A group of knitters sit around a large wooden table, engrossed in conversation and knitting several different items-- from mittens to cardigans and scarves. Eirik (mid-30s) is among them, holding a pair of needles and a soft ball of yarn in her hands. Her warm personality and passion for knitting radiate as she chats with the other women.

Jóhanna (a retired teacher) is in the middle of telling a captivating story of Icelandic Sagas with fierce-looking warriors and legendary creatures. The other members listen intently.

Salka, the local doctor, on the other hand, is distracted, her gaze flitting towards the entrance of the shop, knitting at a faster pace than usual. Gudny, a friendly woman, focuses on the task at hand, helping Eirik with a complicated knitting pattern.

While they work, the shop is bustling with activity. The walls are lined with shelves filled with stacks of wool in different luscious hues, knitting books, and photos of Icelandic landscapes. There's a small Chrismas tree with twinkling lights in the window. The shop is an open warm space, a refuge from the chilling winds outside.

Suddenly, a few kids pass by the front window, peering inside, their eyes aglow with wonder. We follow the children's gaze to find Eirik behind the counter, taking orders from a customer.

Eirik looks up from the counter and greets the children with an exuberant wave, a smile on her face. The kids giggle and wave back, then run off, traipsing through the snow. Eirik turns back to the customer, Hekla, who is holding a basket filled with freshly baked bread.

Hekla: "Good morning, Eirik. I brought some bread as promised. Fresh bread, just for you."

Eirik: "Thank you, Hekla. That's so sweet of you."

Hekla hands over the basket, and Eirik places it on a shelf behind the counter.

Just as Hekla is about to leave, Eirik's phone rings. She gives Hekla an apologetic look and reaches for her phone.

Eirik: (answering the phone with a worried tone) "Hello?...Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. Yes, I'll be there right away."

Eirik hangs up and exchanges a troubled glance with the ladies.

Eirik: "I'm so sorry, ladies. That was my sister. She needs me to come to Reykjavik right away. I have to leave now."

Jóhanna: "Is everything alright, Eirik?"

Eirik: "Yes, I hope so. It's a family emergency."

Salka: "Don't worry about us. You go ahead."

Gudny: "Yes, Eirik, we'll manage. You take care."

Eirik: "Thank you, everyone. I'll be back soon. Keep knitting until I get back."

Eirik quickly gathers her things and exits the shop. The other ladies exchange concerned looks.

FADE OUT.

Here is the final version of scene 2:

FADE IN:

EXT. WOODS NEAR THE TOWN - WINTER

EIRIK walks through the woods with a group of police officers, including the by-the-book police chief, ÓLAFUR. They move around the crime scene, taking pictures and collecting samples.

The day is grey, and a fresh layer of snow covers the ground. Eirik is bundled up in her winter gear, gloves, parka and scarf, while the police officers are all dressed in their black winter uniforms. Eirik scans the area with a sharp eye, feeling uneasy as she does.

EIRIK (curious) "What's this? Have you guys seen anything like this before?"

She bends down to pick up a pair of battered wooden knitting needles lying in the snow with a talisman hanging from the end of each of them. She looks at them carefully, then shows them to the police team, who don't seem to pay it any mind.

ÓLAFUR (brushing Eirik off) "It's just a pair of ordinary knitting needles. Nothing to worry about."

EIRIK (intrigued) "They look like they’ve been around for a while, and the talismans on them are not something I've seen before."

She puts the knitting needles into her pocket, hoping to examine them later.

As they investigate the area, Eirik notices a fragment of fabric caught in a tree branch. She tugs at it gently until it comes free, revealing it as a piece of fabric that is different to Halldóra's clothes.

Eirik (determined)"Chief, this is not from Halldóra's clothes. These could be from the murderer's outfit."

ÓLAFUR (intrigued)"You got a good eye there, Eirik. This could be something."

Eirik nods, feeling relieved that someone else finally sees the clues she has been collecting. As they move around, she realizes that each time she finds a clue, she feels like she is one step closer to solving the mystery.

EIRIK (determined)"I know. We have to keep looking. I have a feeling that this murder was not as straightforward as it may seem."

ÓLAFUR (puzzled)"What do you mean?"

EIRIK "There is something off about the murder scene, and the clues point to someone else being there. Someone who might have committed this crime."

ÓLAFUR (cautious)"That's a dangerous path to take, Eirik. You need to be careful."

EIRIK"I know, but I can't just sit around and do nothing. Halldóra was a regular at my shop. I feel like I owe it to her to find out what happened."

As they continue to investigate, Eirik starts to piece together clues, noticing strange things that don't quite fit. She feels a sense of urgency and determination. She bends down to inspect one spot, and as she rises, she catches the eye of a figure a small distance away from the group.

Eirik's hand unconsciously goes to her pocket where she has the knitting needles. The figure moves out of sight before she can make out the identity.

EIRIK (determined)"I'm going to get to the bottom of this, Ólafur. What I have seen so far is not just adding up. No matter what it takes."

The scene ends with the group walking back towards their vehicles, with Eirik still standing apart deep in thought, clenching the knitting needles in her fist.

FADE OUT.

Here is the final version of Scene 3

FADE IN:

INT. VIGDÍS'S HOUSE - AFTERNOON

Eirik impatiently knocks on the door. Vigdís answers after looking through the peephole and opens it quickly. She appears frightened, her eyes dart from side to side. She throws herself into Eirik's arms in tears.

VIGDÍS (crying) "Eirik, thank god you're here. I didn't do it. I swear."

EIRIK (comforting) "I know, I believe you. Calm down. We'll figure this out together."

They sit down at the kitchen table as Brynja walks into the room, appearing determined.

BRYNJA (determined) "We need to do something to prove her innocence, Eirik. We can't let them get away with this."

EIRIK (serious) "I know, but we have to act carefully. We don't want to impede the investigation."

VIGDÍS (anxious) "But what can we do? I don't have an alibi."

EIRIK (confident) "I have some ideas. We have to think outside the box and find evidence that proves your innocence."

VIGDÍS (grateful) "Thank you, Eirik. You're always there for me, even in the darkest of times."

EIRIK (smiling) "Of course, you're my friend. And a true friend never leaves a friend alone."

Suddenly, they hear pounding on the front door. Vigdís takes a deep breath, and fear creeps over her face. Eirik stands up and walks towards the door with a sense of caution.
Vigdís quickly follows her, afraid of what's on the other side.

Eirik opens the door to find Árni, Halldóra's lawyer, entering the room with two police officers. Árni appears smug with an air of superiority.

ÁRNI (smug) "Hello, ladies. Sorry for the intrusion, but I need to talk to Vigdís about her whereabouts on the night of the murder. A routine chat, you know."

VIGDÍS (terrified) "What do you want from me?"

ÁRNI (menacing) "Nothing much, just a chat. Or do you have something to hide?"

BRYNJA (defensive) "My mother doesn't have anything to hide. She's innocent."

ÁRNI (skeptical) "That remains to be seen. But don't worry, we'll find out soon enough."

EIRIK (firm) "That's enough, Árni. You have no right to come into Vigdís's house and accuse her like this."

ÁRNI (smiling) "But I do. And you, Eirik, stay out of this. Your meddling will only make things worse."

Eirik stands up, and her hand unconsciously goes to her pocket where she has the knitting needles.

EIRIK (determined) "I'm not afraid of you, Árni. And I'll do whatever it takes to prove Vigdís's innocence."

One of the police officers attempts to grab Eirik, but she dodges him and rushes to the door, knocking over a vase of flowers.

As Eirik runs outside, she sees a figure standing a few houses away, watching her. She recognizes the outline of the person, but it's unclear who it is.

EIRIK (confused) "Who's that? Come out, whoever you are!"

The figure turns around and runs away, disappearing into the snowy landscape.

Eirik clenches the knitting needles in her fist and looks back at Vigdís's house, determined to uncover the truth and clear her friend's name.

As she walks back to the house, she realizes that Árni is smarter and calculated. Eirik needs to think, observe and find evidence.

FADE OUT.

Here is the final version of Scene 4:

FADE IN:

INT. EIRIK'S KNITTING SHOP AND CAFÉ - DAY

Eirik sits at the table with a board in front of her, filled with evidence she has collected so far. There is a disturbed look on her face as she ponders their next move. Brynja enters, and Eirik looks up.

EIRIK (concerned, frustrated): "I don't know what to do next, Brynja. We can't just go around and-"

BRYNJA (interrupts, emphatic): "No, Eirik. We can't let the police do their own thing. They might condemn my mother. Vigdís is innocent, we both know it."

EIRIK (firmly): "I understand that. But we need to think carefully about what evidence we need to provide and how we're going to obtain it."

Suddenly, a woman walks in wearing a red woolen hat and scarf, carrying a basket with wool bundles. She looks around the shop, before approaching Eirik's table.

ROSE (friendly, excited): "Hi there. You must be Eirik. And you are Brynja. I'm Rose from Denmark."

Eirik and Brynja exchange puzzled glances.

EIRIK (curious): "We haven't met before, have we?"

ROSE (friendly, nonchalant): "No, I'm just passing through and saw your shop. Thought I'd stop by and see what you have."

BRYNJA (amused): "Well, you've found us. Is there anything we can help you with?"

ROSE (smiling, fiddling with the wool): "Actually, I'm here to buy wool. But I was also wondering if you could use some help with your inventory. I'm really good with numbers and spreadsheets."

EIRIK (enthusiastic): "That would be amazing, thank you. Brynja and I could use some help with that."

BRYNJA (skeptical): "Why are you offering your help? How do we know that you're not just spying on us for the police?"

Rose stiffens up a bit, her friendly demeanor masked by irritation.

ROSE (firmly): "I can understand why you'd be cautious, but that's not the case. I'm not connected to the police. I just love knitting, and I love helping small businesses."

Eirik and Brynja look at each other, seemingly weighed the pros and cons of trusting this woman.

EIRIK (takes a deep breath, then nods): "Alright, we can use your help. Thanks, Rose."

BRYNJA (skeptical): "Yeah, thanks."

Rose nods and smiles before walking off to browse the store.

EIRIK (whispers to Brynja): "Keep an eye on her. I don't entirely trust her."

BRYNJA (whispers back): "I will."

Eirik and Brynja turn back to their evidence board, picking up their conversation from where they left off.

EIRIK (determined): "We need to find a way to link Árni to the murder. And we need to be careful about how we go about it."

BRYNJA (confident): "I have an idea. Why don't we plant some fake evidence in the same spot where the murder happened? Something that links Árni to the crime?"

EIRIK (intrigued): "That's not a bad idea. What do you have in mind?"

Brynja leans closer to her mother and whispers in her ear, explaining the plan in detail.

EIRIK (nodding): "Okay, I think we can make that work. But we need to be careful. If we get caught, it could make things worse for Vigdís."

BRYNJA (determined): "We won't get caught. Trust me, Eirik."

EIRIK (convinced, practical): "Alright. Let's do it. But we have to act fast before it's too late."

As they stand up, ready to put their plan into action, there is silence. Rose walks back towards the table.

ROSE (smiling): "I found the wool I was looking for. Sorry to interrupt, but I would love to help you two beautiful ladies. It's admirable watching you work so diligently, and the dynamic between you two is unique."

Eirik and Brynja exchange nervous glances, sensing something strange in Rose's speech.

EIRIK (smiling): "Thank you, Rose, for your support."

ROSE (smiling, then turns to leave): "Well, if you need anything, let me know. It was lovely to meet you."

EIRIK (whispers to Brynja): "I don't like her. She's too friendly and suspiciously so."

BRYNJA (whispers back): "I agree."

Eirik and Brynja pack their bags and nod to each other, ready to execute the plan.

EXT. OUTSIDE OF EIRIK'S SHOP - DAY

A man in his early 30s walks up to Rose, and they shake hands.

MAN (whispering): "Did they take the bait?"

ROSE (smiling mischievously): "Yes, they did. Good job, Jonas."

The man hands Rose some cash, and they both walk away in different directions.

INT. EIRIK'S KNITTING SHOP AND CAFÉ - DAY

Eirik and Brynja arrive at the crime scene site with a plastic bag filled with Árni's belongings.

BRYNJA (pointing to a spot): "Let's leave the bag over there. He's seen in surveillance footage coming to the store in what he was wearing before. Let's just hope it's enough to seal his fate."

CAMERA MOVEMENT:

The camera captures the two women, standing close to each other, looking around to ensure they are alone. After dropping the bag, they walk away, covering the area with their footprints.

FADE OUT.

Here is the final version of Scene 6

Location: The police station.

Intro: Eirik enters the police station, visibly tense. Her eyes dart around the room as she clutches the magic knitting needles in her hand.

The camera tracks Eirik's every movement, following her as she walks towards the table where Ólafur is looking at evidence. Her tense expression gives away her anxiety as she places the needles in front of him.

Ólafur picks up the needles carefully, examining them with curiosity plastered on his face. Before he could say anything, Eirik speaks.

Eirik: "These are the needles that were taken from Ragnar's house. I know who the real murderer is, and I think I can prove it."

Ólafur: (puzzled) "How can you be so sure?"

Eirik: (speaking slowly, relaying the events) "I followed her every move, and I have enough evidence to show that it was not Vigdis who did it."
