They go to the house of Lóa's friends Gunni and Ronni, who connect them with Tumi, a drug boss. They act as drug couriers for him. One day, they visit another intermediary and find her dead. They intend to take some pharmaceutical drugs there and grab a bag, which has 1 kg of cocaine and two pistols in it. They then begin selling the cocaine themselves, hoping to make enough to quit the drug dealing business. However, Tumi's father figures out what is going on and sends some thugs, who find Gunni and Ronni. Óli and Lóa escape. Lóa and Óli go to rob Tumi to get "their" money.
