"We must search the canals." "it's the same killer." " Where could he have gone?" " I don't know." "Hauge was the first." "He loved her." "Police are searching for a 45-year-old man, Leon Frevert." "He could have left traces in her things." "Let's check now." "There's somebody else up there." "Wait, I'll come up." "What's happening?" "At one point he saw a suspect in the building." "The operation went well." "He'll make it." "Thank you." "Is it true that the flat was untouched for a fortnight?" "I want to hear about the tape from Security." "I've been exonerated." "There are rumours about Rie Skovgaard." "That she got a tip-off about Stokke by spreading her legs for Bremer's advisor, Phillip Dessau." " Where were you?" " At a girlfriend's." " Why didn't we meet in the flat?" " The toilet was broken." "You'd waited a whole month but on Saturday someone rang to cancel." "There are no signs of anyone in the flat after the culprit." "Salin's bluffing." "Rie used a courier the night the police got the tape." "Salin..." "My lawyer has prepared a libel suit." "if you..." "Now it's Leon." "An hour ago it was Vagn." "They want the keys to do a search." " Leon Frevert may have been..." " Out!" " A warrant..." " Don't defile this place." " Look at this." "Great, isn't it?" " It's a dump." "He feels safe in parks." " Hello?" " It's Leon Frevert." "it wasn't me." "Do you understand?" "You know nothing." "He's strange but he's not a killer." "if you want to help your brother tell me where you're meeting." "it's a Russian coaster and his name's Leon Frevert." "He must not know we're here." " You'll have to come with us." " Brix has my report." "Talk to Meyer." "That'll be difficult." "Jan Meyer is dead." "Relinquish your command and go with the prosecutor's representative." "THE KILLING" "I'll summarise." "You heard a shot on your mobile and a few seconds later another shot." "You ran down and found Jan Meyer lying wounded on the ground floor." "You called Emergency, applied first aid, and waited for the ambulance." "Is that correct?" "When we have the necessary information you may go." "Shall I repeat?" "No, that's correct." "Fine." "I've got no more." "it was your initiative?" " Did you inform your boss?" " No, there was no time." "How did he die?" "I understand there were complications with the blood supply." "You left your gun in your glove box." "Hand weapons must be worn or locked away." "Why was your glove box unlocked?" "Meyer was in the car when I left." " Was he alone when he died?" " No, his wife was with him." "How did Meyer know where your gun was?" "He knew I never carry it and that it was in the glove box." "So Meyer took your gun and the killer took it from him?" "Did you see the killer?" "No, but..." "I heard a car drive off when I got downstairs." " Did Jan Meyer see his killer?" " I don't know." "Perhaps." "And yet you're sure it was Leon Frevert?" "if your gun was lying about in your car you don't know if Meyer took it." "it could have been anybody." "Leon Frevert can fill you in." "I'd like to leave." "I know it's difficult to talk about it but we need to get through this." "I'm leaving." "My mobile's on if you need me." " You stand by your explanation?" " Of course I do." "Get your coat." "We're going out." "You may have been right in suspecting Frevert." "He was sailing to St Petersburg." "But he changed his mind once you were on to him." "He didn't want to be confronted with certain things in court." "This is the closest thing we get to a confession." "SORRY" "Or rather a partial confession." "This receipt was in his pocket." "Leon Frevert was putting petrol in his car in Karlslunde, about 30 kilometres from the storage facility at the time that he, according to you, shot Jan Meyer." "it doesn't appear to be a mistake." "The camera at the petrol station confirms it." " it can't be true." " I'm asking you one last time." "Do you stand by your explanation?" "We could start moving next weekend." "I'll check the boiler." "I don't want cold showers." "He's really upset." "Yes." "Kids are like that." "He has to be contrary." "Maybe that dog was a good idea." " You promised them a dog." " Wasn't it Emil who wanted one?" "Anton too." "For his birthday." "Keep your voice down." "He's in the garage." "I let them play there." "Come on!" "Isn't it great?" "At the new house you can drive it in the garden." " Can I take it upstairs?" " Sure." "It's yours." "Listen, Anton." "Moving house can make you tense because everything is uncertain." "But it's fun trying something new." "There's something in the cellar." "What do you mean?" "it's Nanna's passport." "With blood on it." "Don't tell Mum and Dad." "Why are you saying this?" "Anton... if it's because you're afraid of moving it's better to tell the truth." "Be honest instead of telling these lies." "I'm not lying." "What else did he say?" "Nothing more." "He kept saying he'd seen it over there." "I've been there 100 times." "I never saw it." " Where did he say it was?" " In the basement." "Why would it be there?" "I'll call Rudi and Leif and get them to check it." "There's nothing there." "He just doesn't want to move." " Why would he say that?" " He can say anything." "He shouldn't talk like that." "The police never found her passport." "I'd be grateful if you didn't mention this to Anton." "We have to." "I'd like to go over there with him tomorrow to look for it." "I'd like to know either way." "it isn't there, and it's his birthday." "We're broadcasting for 90 minutes and will close with three minutes each." "I presume I'm on last." "No, we're drawing lots about the order." "Start with the minor party and end with the biggest." " This is fairer." " Perhaps, but I wasn't told." "We'll do as we normally do." "Could we not draw lots?" "Bremer's right." "We normally do it differently." "What if Hartmann goes first?" " That would..." " No, no." "We agreed." "Let's draw the lots." "I'm feeling lucky tonight." "When we're finished I'll be the last man standing." " Shall I sit down?" " Yes, please." "I have to talk to him now." "it's Hartmann for you." " Why did Bremer fire Dessau?" " Aren't you going on TV?" "He made a major mistake." "Why?" "You said something about... some dockets." " What's going on?" " Explain, damn it." "Rie couriered something the night the police got the tape." " Where to?" " I don't know." " Can you find out?" " Why?" "Did she know the firm was delivering the toilet on Saturday morning?" "No one knew until Salin told us." "it's odd that someone cancelled." "Did she receive a letter confirming the date?" "Yes, if she was in the flat." "The letter was sent there." " Anything I can do?" " Troels, you have to come in now." "This is the last debate." "They'll take today's impression with them to the polling booth." "Bremer's on the war path." "if the murder case is brought up stick to what we agreed, that you'll do anything to help the police solve it." "You stand for clarity." "He has skeletons in his cupboard." "Are you listening?" "Troels, this is important." "I know what Bremer's on about." " We can't wait any longer." " I'm coming." "I know what you did." " What I..." " Everything." "Unfortunately, Bremer knows too." "The party flat." "The surveillance tape." "Dessau." "it's not what you think." "We're on now." "Troels, wait." "Troels..." "There's no substance in what you say." "We both know that taxes must rise." " They're frozen." " That's the problem." " We'll have to..." " Thank you." "The Lord Mayor is on now." "Thank you." "The question is important." "But I think the voters need answers to a different question." "The unhappy case about the schoolgirl, Nanna Birk Larsen." "We're only talking politics." "it's first and foremost a question of ethics and morality." "it's important that the voters are able to judge right from wrong." " Quickly, then." " Thanks." "I've been accused of withholding information." "I've even been reported to the police." "All at the behest of Hartmann." "What's new is that Troels Hartmann and his office knowingly withheld information and prevented the crime being solved." "How could Troels Hartmann's party flat remain untouched for a fortnight" "after that dreadful crime?" "And a surveillance tape disappears and then resurfaces when it suits Hartmann's purposes?" "The police assure me those accusations are false." " I spoke with them today." " You've been misinformed." " Or you don't have my evidence." " We've been through all this." "Evidence?" "The lord mayor should go to the police with this." "I'll be happy to reply to the police." "As always." "Sure, I'll go to the police." "But it's of interest to everybody..." "Excuse me, but..." "it's not of interest to everybody." "This is only in your interest." " Just before this debate I was told..." " For 12 years you've ruled the roost." " I was told..." " We've had to..." "Now I have to interrupt." "I've been advised..." "Allow me to say that the lord mayor's mud slinging clearly shows that he's cornered and has no policies." "Maybe there's not much to be proud of." "The system is congealed." "Rather than debate it, he's arrogant and contemptuous of the voters." " I've got evidence that..." " And by sidetracking the debate... the lord mayor makes sure that we and the voters won't detect his lack of vision, and lack of judgement." "it's sad and unworthy, not least for the lord mayor himself." "Call an ambulance." "Why didn't Meyer go with you?" "He didn't believe me." " But you gave him an order?" " No." "He found a broken window." "He saw Frevert's torch on the floor I was on." "Frevert's torch?" "No, not Frevert's." "The perpetrator's." "We do agree that it wasn't Frevert who was there." "Frevert tried to help us." "He knew something but he was afraid." "He may have seen something when he dropped Nanna at the flat." "So in spite of his suicide note he's not the one behind the murders of Hauge and Nanna?" "No." "But was it suicide?" "The door had been forced open." "He was ahead of us." "A box had been opened." "So he'd removed any evidence." "You were going to Sweden?" " Didn't Meyer want to run the case?" " No." "We had a discussion." "it was nothing." "Meyer complained to his boss about nothing?" "The same evening he told his wife you weren't yourself." " He thought there was nothing there." " His daughter had an ear..." "He's not the only one who thought you'd lost control." "Some say you suffer from tunnel vision." "And that you have problems facing reality." "Correct?" "I'm not going crazy." "I must find out what he took from that box." " Then I'll know who he is." " Yes." "if there was anyone..." "other than you and Jan Meyer." "Come with me, please." "Come in and sit down." "During your hunt for the culprit Meyer pressed a shortcut key that he normally uses during interrogations." "Lund!" "Hello?" "Can you hear me?" "Meyer!" "He's in the lift." "He's on his way down." "I'm at the lift." "Can you hear me?" "The lift's empty." "No one's here." "I'm coming up." " No." "He's down there." " I'm coming now." "You haven't slept for three nights." "it's dark..." "You hear a sound." "You think it's your phantom." "You draw your gun." "Your gun that you took with you." "You run excitedly down the stairs." "You've waited for this for three weeks." "You push the door open." "You fire." "As anyone would have done." "There's a fight over the gun." "You grab it and shoot again." "You're frightened to see you've shot Jan Meyer." "You call Emergency." "During the 16 minutes you wait for the ambulance you fake a break-in, upstairs too, and place your gun next to Meyer." "There are no signs of anyone else but you and Meyer." "And we've questioned Jan Meyer's wife." "She was at his side when he died." "As you can see she claims that the last thing Jan Meyer said was the name "Sarah"." "Several times." "it could have been a declaration of love but considering your relationship it's highly unlikely." "There's a preliminary hearing tomorrow." "You know the procedure." "You're allowed one call." "This doesn't make sense." " Hello?" " It's me." " Hi." " I need your help." "Search her flat and send her clothes to Forensics." "I need her CV and all the details of the case." "Within 20 minutes." "According to our records Lund has never fired her gun." "As far as I know, you took her ID card from her some days ago but you gave it back." " Why?" " She linked two crimes and..." "You knew she was derailed." "Why else take her ID?" "My knowledge of her is limited." "I only took this case..." "Explain to me later." "You've got 20 minutes." "You'd tried to commit suicide." "I was hurt and angry." "I ran into Dessau who wanted to see me and we went to Hotel Skt." "Petri and sat in the bar." "He said you were finished in politics and that I should join them." "I felt something was very wrong." "His phone was ringing all the time." "He asked me to his room for a nightcap." "I said yes because I wanted to find out what was going on." "it turns out... that it was Stokke who was calling." "He was nervous because he knew Nanna had been in the flat." "Dessau told him to relax." "That's why I got in touch with Stokke." " What happened?" " Nothing." "I went home." "You were looking for me on the night of the crime." " Were you in the party flat?" " No." "The next morning I went to the conference without you." "it looks as if someone found confirmation of the delivery but cancelled it." "You said yourself the company messed up." "I've got nothing to do with the flat or the tape." "I'd do a lot for you but I wouldn't cover for murder." "if it looks as if I'm implicated then find out by whom and why." "I'll do that." "Stay at home till it's been investigated." "That's ridiculous." "Thank you." "Bye." "Bremer's had a stroke." "They say it's not serious." "it's hard to tell what's spin and what's real." "But for now they're keeping him in overnight." "Tell me." "What is it with Dessau?" "Something you believe or know?" "if you two have problems don't accuse her of everything." "Don't you understand the ramifications?" "She may have caused several preventable deaths." "Because of... for what?" "To win an election?" " What will you do?" " I don't know." "it appears that Bremer and..." "Salin know more than we do." "What the hell happened in that flat?" "Call Sarah Lund." " I just tried to get her, but..." " Get someone else, then." "Get me something for tomorrow to respond to Bremer's accusation." "What do you want to say?" "My client requests to be released immediately." "She will co-operate as far as it is reasonable." "You have no definitive evidence." "The question of guilt is unresolved so there's no reason to detain her." " The judge decides." " All interviews are done." "She's not a flight risk and she won't commit a new crime." " And she's looking after her son." " Not at the moment." "Conveniently, he's living with her ex." "Lately she's been subjected to extreme mental pressure." "She's been imprisoned and witnessed two shootings, both resulting in death, and one was a person close to her." "Forget getting her out by indicating she's nuts." "Thanks." "if you agree to release her you'll get access to her psychological journal." "What journal?" "There is no journal." "Yes, there is." "I'm worried about her." "I'm led to believe she suffers from paranoia and panic attacks." "There's also a possibility she's suicidal." "This is your own work?" "No, but I did urge her to contact a psychologist after recent events." "He confirmed she had already been susceptible to depression... and he's worried that she's alone in a cell." "Lund knows that if it's true, it has legal consequences?" " Yes." " Why admit to being unstable?" "Because she wants help as soon as possible." "And it would give you time to consider a rather sensitive charge." "Isn't that so?" "You're suspended immediately." "You're still a suspect and your report will be examined." "Hand in your passport." "Your home will be searched." "Come back in when we call you." " I must see the box from the depot." " Goodbye, Lund." "Give me a table of contents." "Anything." "Because of you my department is discredited." "You know I didn't do it." "You know the killer's still loose." "I know a colleague has been shot and that your case looks bad." "A table of contents..." "nothing else." "Bengt Rosling's waiting for you outside." "Did you talk to Forensics?" "Yes, I received a copy of a report about Leon Frevert." "One tooth's been knocked out and he has a wound in his palate." "I think Forensics will find they're injuries from the barrel of a rifle." "Sarah, it's only a matter of time before the public prosecutor finds out your journal is fake." "I wrote it in Magnus's name." "He's away right now but I'm not sure if they can get hold of him." " Good luck." " Thanks." "What's that?" "A table of contents of the box from the storage facility." "The killer knew Mette Hauge." "They may have been lovers." "But he removed whatever linked them." "But if nothing can be found to link them... then that's it." "Mette Hauge moved into a students, collective." "Could you find out who lived there 15 years ago?" "Sarah, I..." "I'm sorry that..." "I'll call you." " Hi, Vagn." "Hi, Rudy." " Hi." "They've worked here all day and they haven't found anything." "Hey!" "Happy birthday." "Anton..." "I had to tell them." "You understand, don't you?" "I've got a present for you." "You'll get it tonight." "Okay?" "They've all looked and found nothing down here." " it's in that cupboard." " That one?" "Yes." "Perhaps you saw something else." "Maybe it was too dark." " Can I go upstairs now?" " Anton..." "I understand it's hard for you to have to move, and that's okay." "But don't make up stories like that." "Do you understand what I'm saying?" "Do you?" "You make Mum and me very sad." "You can say anything but don't lie about anything to do with Nanna." " Okay?" " All right." "Was that necessary?" " Theis?" " Yes." " Did you get a dog?" " No." "My friend has some puppies." "I'm deeply shaken over what happened." " How did you feel when he collapsed?" " I have no more comments." "it suited you that the debate was cut short?" "Not especially." "What's your point?" "He had proof that your office withheld information about your flat to foil the investigation." "As far as I know nothing has been proven." "But let me be completely clear and straightforward." "I'd never accept something like that on my watch." "it's against everything I believe in and stand for." "And if, and I say if," "I should ever find evidence of something like that you can be assured I'll speak out loud and clear and contemplate my political future." "Anything more in the Nanna case?" "They told me not to talk to you." "How are the kids?" "Only the big one understands." "I didn't do what they're saying." " When we got out there..." " Why didn't you leave him in peace?" " You said the case was closed." " But it's not." "I understand that he... said something in the end that sounded like Sarah?" "He never called me Sarah." "He always said Lund." "He meant something else." "I think he tried... to tell us something about the killer." "What precisely did he say?" "That's all he said. "Sarah"." " And something about some numbers." " What numbers?" "I couldn't hear it." "He was..." "What did it sound like?" " 84." " 84?" "Did he say anything else?" "That's all he said." "I don't even know if he knew I was there." "Okay?" "The register wasn't much help to me but two names were listed at the address when Mette Hauge lived there." "A man and a woman." "The woman said she had met Mette Hauge and the man is a Mr Palludan and he's still listed at that address." "Other than that, Magnus has called me." "They've realised I lied to them." " The police are looking for you." " Thanks." "Didn't I tell you I haven't got time today?" "The press claim we have concealed information so I'd like to talk to Lund." "Lots of people would." "Join the queue." "I need answers." "if I had any reason at all to hang you out to dry, I would." "Maybe someone from your office took the tape to hide the fact that you drove the car." "But I can't prove it." "Maybe the person got cold feet and sent the tape to us." "We suspected Rie Skovgaard." "She sent a parcel the night we got the tape." "But... it was a parcel to the parliament." "We heard that someone was in the flat after the killer." "The killer only spent a short time there." "Then he drove her to an unknown destination." "After that, no one was in the flat." "You're sure?" "He cleaned blood off the front and back doors and the stairs." "if someone had been there Forensics would've found out." "Satisfied?" "We're sure now." "inform the media as soon as possible." "I'm about to sell the flat." "Your personal effects have been removed." "Bremer talked about proof." "He talks about many things, especially on TV." "Let's see." "You're meeting Danish industry, we discuss the election day..." " I want to go to the flat." " There's nothing there." " The election is in four days." " I want to go to the flat." "What about Rie?" "She's called several times." "Arrange a meeting with her tonight." "You lived together." "You knew her." "it was a collective." "We had separate rooms." " You saw each other in the kitchen." " We studied." "We were busy." " That's what I said five years ago." " Did you sleep with her?" "What?" " Did you sleep with her?" " No." "Why are you asking about that now?" "I want your name and section again." "Tell me if there's something you didn't say then." "I know nothing." "Why does it matter after such a long time?" "A few times." "And..." "We were young and we partied." "You know how it is." "She was a happy girl." "I don't believe she killed herself." "Why didn't you say something?" " She'd just broken up with a boyfriend." " Who was that?" "I never met him." "He was a bit brash." "You didn't tell them?" "No..." "You see..." "My wife was pregnant with our first." " What do you know about her ex?" " I think they were old friends." " Maybe from public school." " Why's that?" "He'd given her an ugly necklace." "A heart." "The kind they wore then." "I have to go now." "Does the name Sarah or the number 84 mean anything to you?" "No." " You must know where she is." " No." "She was seen with Meyer's wife." "Put an all-points out on VKK and Sarah Lund." "Right now." "She's probably driving Rosling's hire car." " Hello?" " Lund here." "The list of contents shows there was a photo album." "Did you check it?" "What are you doing?" "Hauge's boyfriend must be in a class photo." " He might be known to us." " Come in now." " Are you near the box?" " We've checked the album." "We've checked all nine classes." "I order you to come in." "What about the tenth?" "She was in Year Ten too." "it's missing." " it doesn't matter." " Find it." "That's what he took." "Lund, they found Nanna's passport in a bin in Leon Frevert's backyard." "Understand?" " What?" " He has no alibi." "The taxi firm confirms his last trip was with Nanna Birk Larsen." "His phone company confirms he called the removalists shortly after." "Skaerbaek says the job was cancelled when Frevert called in sick." " Where was the passport?" " Come in, damn you." "We'll clear it up together." "Lund?" "They'll come at 7." "We need the roast in the oven and a layer cake." "it's only family, darling." " if I get Anton, can you vacuum?" " No way." "Yes, you can." "It's necessary." " I'll get him." " No, fix the roast." " it can't be so hard." "I want it nice." " It's important we have a good time." "Right?" "What's so funny?" "What is it?" " This." " What?" " Did you have enough cream puffs?" " Plenty." " Did you give the invitations out?" " Yes." " To the girls too?" " Yes." "The basement in the house is being done up." "It'll be fine." "Are you upset with Uncle Vagn?" "Now you know there was no passport..." "don't you feel better?" " it's because someone took it." " No one took it." "Anton... it wasn't taken, but sometimes... you see things that aren't really there." "Why do you think someone took it?" "So you and Dad wouldn't be sad." "Who do you think took it?" "This is HP Office Supplies." "We're not available." "Leave a message and we'll call back." "Pernille Birk Larsen here." "We should've moved your things on November 1 and 2." "Something went wrong." "One of our staff members cancelled." "I hope you'll call back so we can clear this up." "I'm sure it's..." "Please call back." "Thanks." "Excuse me." "How did you get in?" "I collected a key from Town Hall." "They told me to let myself in." " I can come another day." " No, it's fine." "The cistern is broken but the drain's stuffed full of rubbish." "Could I get you to sign for it?" "Sure." "Sorry for the delay." "I could have done it when I was here that Saturday." "if they had let me in." "it's not the first time it's happened." "Look." "A sponge and a dishcloth and shit." "Tell your cleaners not to use it as a rubbish bin." "You came the Saturday we cancelled?" "Yes." "I didn't get the cancellation until I got to work on Monday." " What, then?" " I stood outside with the toilet." "The cleaners wouldn't let me in." "Are you sure it was the cleaners?" "I could see buckets and brooms." "There was someone here." "I could hear them." "I called up to them to open the front door but the idiots just closed the window." "What time was it precisely?" "As a special favour I came on Saturday at 8 a.m." "But now you're getting a new toilet." "it'll soon be working." " Sorry for disturbing you." " I just talked to your colleague." "I have a few questions about Leon Frevert." "I'm going to a birthday and I don't want to be late." "The phone message Leon Frevert sent to the firm that evening..." " Is it still around?" " Your colleague asked the same." " Is it?" " No." "I erased it." "I didn't know it was important." "What precisely did Frevert say?" "it's three weeks ago." "I don't remember." "Something about being sick and he couldn't work that weekend." " Did he say anything else?" " No." "I was on duty and I got pissed off." "But luckily a job didn't eventuate." "How did he sound?" "Did he sound afraid, strange, or..." " Did he say why?" " No." "Nothing." "Did he mention Nanna?" "I would have told you." "Why did he call the firm?" "Didn't he know Theis was away?" "I don't know." "That's the number to call." "When they're away it diverts to my phone." "Okay, so..." "Frevert calls to talk to Theis and Pernille." " But he gets you?" " No." " My answering machine." " I see." "I just told your colleague." "I was with my uncle." "I got the message the next morning when I arrived at the garage." "Is that it?" " I want to close up." " Yes." " Do you know what school he went to?" " No." "Nor his favourite meal or star sign." " Did he mention Fuglegaard?" " No." "Did he mention anyone from there or anyone who knew Hauge?" "I don't know where you're going with this but we're sick of it." "Okay?" "We want to put it behind us." "Everything about Frevert and what he did." "We can't take it any more." "Seeing what they went through it's easy to understand that we want to move on, isn't it?" "Isn't it?" "Anything else?" "No."
