"I've got a wiretap about a lady called Sonata Petraityte." " What's she doing in Sweden?" " She has a shop in the Old Town." "Don't go in." " I've read about her." " And?" "I don't know about jewellery." "What's the best?" "Are these women supplied courtesy of Sonata Petraityte?" " Sonja who?" " Is she in?" "She's on her way to Vilnius." "50,000 kronor for each girl." " And 40,000 for the boy." " What?" "Sonata, I'm a big client." "You must give me a discount." "The family has placed a price on your head as revenge for Agim." "200.000 euros." "1.5 million kroner?" "No more?" "He's been monitored." "You can anaesthetise him." "He's going." "The knife had... pierced his heart and they were going to operate when... he died." "What?" "Only for a few minutes." "then he came back." "They sutured the hole." "He's in recovery." "What about his head?" "Any brain damage?" "No, all's fine." "He's out of danger." "It took you a long time to get that sentence out." "Let's toast." "To Hallgrim's resurrection." "Marie... stay awhile." " What?" " Close the door and come over here." "Put your hand under the cover." "Do it." "Is this for me?" "Yes." "Will you?" "Hi there." "I'll take that." "Thanks." "I thought you weren't back till next week." "I got sick of the fuss." " Can you legally leave?" " Legally?" " What are you laughing at?" " Well." "I thought..." " I thought that..." " Well." "I didn't." "Has my sister arrived?" " Shall I call her?" " For God's sake, no." " Thank you." " Your key." " Thanks." " My pleasure." " Welcome back." " Thanks." "What are you doing here?" "I was on my way to see you." "Sorry." "What's with Danish doctors?" "Are they crazy?" "Three days ago you were dead." "Now you're on your own." "I discharged myself." "It's amazing how stupid my clever big brother can be." "Yes." " Would you like a glass of water?" " Yes." "Thanks." "Eigilsson's in prison." "Where?" "In Berlin." "What for?" " Can't you do something?" " No." "He is our father." " You're a detective superintendent." " Not in Germany." "You don't care about him at all." "It could be a mistake." " Not likely." " You don't even want to investigate!" "Dad's right about you." "Self-righteous and always..." "Have you forgotten what he did?" "Yes!" "God's greatest gift to mankind is our ability to forget..." " What's happening?" " Nothing." " I'm just tired." " Of course you are." "Sorry." " Oh, sorry." " Johanna, I'll see you later." "I'll look into Dad's case." "THE EAGLE a crime odyssey" "Hi." "Vilnius was fantastic." "It was a good trip." "The city's really beautiful." "I've seen him before." "Who is he?" " You want to know?" " Not really." "Benjamin Stern." "Known as an international broker." "but he's a member of the Israeli mafia." "Swedish mother and Israeli father." "A real bastard." "Is Europol after him?" " No." " What, then?" "You'll think I'm mad." "but he was in that flat." "Goodness me." " Henriette Sander..." " Who?" "She's a model." " They had a big wedding years ago." " Look at this." "They're out of sight." "She's hiding something." "And here, he leaves." " I want a search." " On what grounds?" " You just saw." " She might have gone to bed." " With all the lights on?" " Or she ran away." "I've been here all night." " You were asleep." " I was not." " I was?" " Yes, you were." "I met him in Gaza." " Who?" " Jack-the-lad." "Benjamin Stern." "He was only 23 then." " They shouldn't have let him out." " It was wartime." "He didn't care." "He ran his own show." " As you do now?" " What?" " Run your own show." " What do you mean?" "Would a man like Benjamin Stern kill his wife in his own flat?" "No." "Welcome home." "I've missed you." " Do you want a drink?" " I'm home at my own risk." "Remember Sonata and her prostitutes in Stockholm?" "Michael and I had some luck in Vilnius." "We got hold of her hard drive." "It's amazing what that woman was into." "Good morning." "Where are they going?" " On a search." " Which case?" " Not a police matter." " You don't say." " How is he?" " It hurts when he's lying down." "Why was he in a hurry to get home?" "Elin would have stayed for three weeks." "How is she?" "It's stimulating being so ill if you refuse to get well." "Is it hard on you?" " Bye." " Yes, bye." " Have you been here all night?" " Yes." "Anna, our Lithuanian interpreter in Vilnius." "She's lovely." "Yes, to have kept him awake all night." "Morning." " Coming, Michael?" " In a moment." "Okay." "Amazing what you procured in Vilnius." "Yes, we got a copy of Sonata's hard drive." "Michael and the interpreter..." " Anna." " She's good." "They worked all night." "The Swedes want to charge Sonata with producing child pornography." " Producing?" " Sonata may have a studio somewhere." "Kids now?" "So she doesn't deal just in women and young men." "Michael has found 17 good Danes who use her services." "One of them is a paediatrician." " Look at this." " Print out a list of the men." "The local police are waiting." "We'll start the arrests early tomorrow." "Have you fallen asleep?" "Who cares about those men?" "We must find this little girl." " We can't, Michael." " We're not trying either." "She could be anywhere." "Lithuania, Ukraine, Russia..." "So we take the easy way out and bring in some perverts." "It won't help." "I'll get your bloody printout." "Well..." "I'm sorry." "Oh, my God." " Come in, Nazim." "Can you hear me?" " Yes." "We're going in now." "Hello!" "The hall's clear." "The lounge is clear." "The kitchen's clear." "Though it's a mess." "The bedroom's clear." "What's happening?" " The bathroom's clear." " Nice dress." "She's not here." " Okay." " He could have taken her last night." "Try to find what she was hiding." "Sit on the sofa, Ditte." "Yes." "A bit more to the right." "There." "You're sitting on the sofa." "You hear the key in the door." "You panic." "You can't find your handbag." "You find the bag, get the thing and run over to the left." "You hide it and sit down on the sofa again." "It didn't take long." "Benjamin's on his way up." "We'll take the back stairs." " She was chewing gum." " What?" "Before hiding it she had some gum." " Come on, Ditte." " Yes, yes." " We'll drop it." "Get out." " I'm on my way." " Now, Ditte!" " Get out of there." "Great." "Out!" "Coming?" "Let's see what it's hiding." "I thought I'd forgotten him." "Yes." "It's a video." "Bloody hell..." "That's enough." "Take it to the unit." "get help and pick him up." "How did we get hold of it?" " Probable cause." " What?" "A tip from the Israelis which we had to take seriously." " Will it stand up?" " Or we copy and replace it." " I'll take care of it." " He's on the run." "Send the photos of him and his car to the police." "Get him this time." " Was Gaza also child porn?" " No." " He won't escape." "They're mobilising." " Call when you've got him." "I've just talked to the German police." "In German, of course." "He tried to pass off a fake 25 euro note at a restaurant." "Oh?" " Aren't you happy it's trivial?" " I bet he bought it for half that." " He hasn't got his fare home." " Did you say home?" "I promised him." " And Cathy?" " She kicked him out." " Tell him to try the consul." " Our old Eigilsson?" "You're cold as ice." ""A dad's duty stops at conception."" " He was joking." " Was he?" " I have to go now." " You're like him." "Difficult people cease to exist for you." " It's taking a while, eh?" " Yes." "You can have it now." "This is the worst I've ever seen." "Did you find Stern's prints?" "Maybe." " How so?" " Most of them are useless." "Full marks for breaking in and pocketing it." " The law is not meant as a guide." " No." "If we're creative and professional we don't need to break the law." "What kind of man is turned on by seeing little girls being abused?" "I can't answer that." "I'm on the desktop." "There's the video and a file." "The file's encrypted." "I can't read it." "We'd probably better watch that video." "It's the same girl." "Yes." "Come up here, please." "Sorry." "She's on Sonata's computer." " I want you to say my name," " Humbert." "Turn it off." "Humbert." "Humbert." "Is that his name?" "In his own sick mind." " She's barely ten." " Is he with her?" "He could be in São Paulo." " Or in fucking suburbia." " What do you mean?" "Humbert logs on to see the girl live and to say what he wants done to her." "She sits waiting 24 hours a day for someone to log on?" " Her or another girl." " It's so disgusting." "But it's expensive and good business." "Highlights are then put on the net for less cashed-up clients." " Is "Humbert" Benjamin Stern?" " I don't think so." " Why not?" " His Europol profile." "Drugs, money laundering and extortion." "Extortion?" "Perhaps Stern knows who Humbert is and intends to blackmail him." " Beat it, please." " Pardon?" "I'd like some peace to find the girl." "if she's still alive." "Yes." "But don't become personally involved." "No." "If you don't stay in the chair you'll be back in hospital." "Come in." " I can't come here every day." " That would be cosy though." "Sleep." "You've had a big transfusion." "You're tired, sweetie." " He's not at work, right?" " See you tomorrow, sweetie." "Don't you "sweetie" me." "That was Ruth." "Have I told you about Elin's and my honeymoon in Finland?" "I was in the sauna." "An old, toothless woman was tending the fire." "I was thinking of... the lovely night before." "A certain enthusiasm came over me." "Suddenly she threw cold water in my crotch." "She stared at me angrily and said..." ""Thank you so much for the compliment."" "Elin wants to say welcome home with an olive tree." " It means hope." " How sweet." " She's in the car." " Why doesn't she come up?" "She can't." "Is it that bad?" "She thinks so." "I can't stand it." "It's... awful." "She's..." "Just a moment." "Hallgrimsson." "Yes?" "What?" "Thanks." "Stern's in Hamburg." "What?" "Henriette's dad said he hadn't heard from Stern." "But Stern just rang him to say he's going home and Henriette has to meet him there." "Hamburg?" "It's only two hours since we lost him." "Go home, Michael." "You haven't slept." " You're not my mum." " What's Dad saying?" "He's not going to bathe you." "You're too big for that." "Tell him that from me." "Okay." "I long to have you back home." "little Klara." "Yes." "Good night, my darling." "Good night." "That damned video." "It's infected me." "Even if I know Jens would never." "never touch the girls..." "I can't stand him bathing Klara." "Don't give in to it." "He's a decent man." "Of course he is." " You must stop now, Michael." " It's bloody difficult." "This is the home page where the girl is for sale." "She's sitting there." "Live, and waiting." "You have to pay to go on." "I don't know how." " Is it taped?" " Yes." " Let's see it." " Must we?" "Remove the image, then." "It sounds like a factory building." " What did you just do?" " I amplified the bells." "They sound Russian." "Do we know an expert on bells?" "Say hi from me." "What happened in Gaza?" " It's a long time ago." " With Benjamin." "Come on." "Benjamin's the biggest bastard I've ever met." "He used children as couriers." "There was a boy in Palestine." "Hani..." "He was seven years old." "Very bright." "We got a tip that Hani knew what Benjamin was up to." "When we went to talk to him." "Benjamin had shot him." "In cold blood." "Just like that." "He was only seven years old." "We neutralised Benjamin." "Hallgrim tried to revive the boy." "He continued long after the boy had died." "In the end I had to wrench the boy from him." "Benjamin was in uniform so... he only got six months." "Won't you join us for dinner?" "No." "Thanks anyway." "I'm picking my daughter up from her mum's." "He hasn't left." "It's too dangerous with that shit lying over there." "Hi." "She's in the flat." "I hope she has a good explanation for that USB key." " I'll call you back." " I'll be gone." "You didn't say bye." " Say hello to Grandma." " I'm on my way to Berlin." "Grandma paid for the ticket." " I didn't have any money." " Marie!" "I know you would have come if you hadn't been ill." "You wouldn't have let Eigilsson down." "Have a nice trip." " Who is it?" " Marie Wied, Police." " May I come in for a moment?" " Yes." "I'm obliged to tell you that we have searched your flat." "Why?" "And that we've secured a USB key containing illicit material." " I know nothing about it." " You won't mind, then?" "Mind what?" "If we take your fingerprints to prove you didn't handle it." "It's me, Nazim." "You have to come." "Where did you get it?" "My husband's computer." "I got lucky." "Sorry." "I mean..." "I didn't expect to find child porn on his computer." "It's not like him." "Not the man I chose to have children with." "I'm getting a divorce." "We're getting a divorce." "I've got a little girl." "Rebecca." "She's six years old." "Three weeks ago he picked her up from school and sent her to an aunt in Israel." "She's the nastiest person I've ever met." "I miss Rebecca so much." "I said I'd give that thing to the cops if I didn't get her back." "That was a mistake because he's gone totally feral." "It's him." "It's no use." " You can't." " Calm down." "Darling..." "you told her about us." " I overheard you." " I'm sorry." "That's okay." "You have something for me." "Get it." "It's not here." " Hurry up." " No!" "Get going!" "Move!" " Okay?" "Sure?" " Yes." "The back stairs." "Why couldn't you leave us?" " May I listen to it?" " Yes." "Can you hear it?" "It's like a singing icon." "It's divine energy." "A direct connection between man and God." "They're evening chimes." "We're in a cathedral." "But which cathedral?" "It's one of the best." "Yes." "The Russians say we never forget the bells of our childhood." "It's easy to understand when we hear this." "Saint Sophia Cathedral in the Kremlin?" "No, we can eliminate that one." "It's not the Church of the Sacred Blood." "The Peter-Paul Cathedral?" "Hardly." "It's Bugrov." "Piotr Bugrov." "He's a civil engineer in space research." "Sorry I didn't hear it at once." " It's embarrassing." " That's fine." "The Trinity Cathedral." "Alexander Nevsky Monastery." "Good." "And which city is that in?" "St Petersburg." "An ambulance arrived to take Marie to Casualty." " Hallgrim wanted to go along." " Isn't he sick of hospitals?" "The Copenhagen police are a bunch of bumpkins." "Fifteen minutes after Benjamin left they turned up by the busload." " Fifteen minutes..." " And the wife?" "They took her to her dad's." "They'll stay in case Benjamin returns." "Thanks, Ditte." "Ditte says we're in St Petersburg near the Trinity Cathedral." "We haven't met." " Frandsen." " Anna." " Did you hear me?" " Yes." "Search Sonata's disk for St Petersburg." " A porn studio isn't free." " No." " Are you on it?" " Look." "When the girl says Humbert the camera pans around." "Here." "I'll stop." "That must be the cameraman." "Send that gorilla to Europol and to the Russian police." "They may know him." "The browser has found 27 hits on St Petersburg." "Should we find an address near the Trinity Cathedral?" " Look in her accounts first." " Obviously." "If we're to find an entry under "rent"." "The gorilla has been sent on." "Can you get a recent view of St Petersburg?" "Did you enjoy the carillon?" " You can have an ordinary key map." " Great." " Can we get closer to the cathedral?" " Closer, Michael." "The bell nerd in Copenhagen knows the area." "He says there's an industrial area there." "Speed it up, please." "I know I'm on the sick list." "Thanks." "It's there." "Romenskaya Ulitsa." "Sonata rents a factory building." "Hence the bells and the traffic." "Fine." "Get the translated material to the Russians." "What?" "We've prepared it." "It's up to them now." " Are you serious?" " Why not?" "It will take at least three weeks to find her." "It's procedure." "Michael, it's the Russians." "So?" "We find child porn in their backyard and order them to move in?" "I've circumvented the payment system." "Anna, press enter." "Look at her." "Damn it, Ditte." "This is right now." "It's live." "She's sitting there right now." "What will happen when someone logs in?" "When the shop gets customers?" " I'll call Andrei Denisov." " The chief of police?" " What's the time over there?" " He owes me a favour." " Denisov." " Hi, it's Hallgrimsson." " Hallgrimsson!" " Good evening." "Good evening." "Sorry to disturb you." "Katya dear..." "Never mind." "It's quite all right." "We were all awake anyway." "What's happening?" "Quiet." "Well, let's go." "Come on." "Stay here." "I ll be back." "Sit." "He is a gorilla." "Vasya, search." "Search!" "Vasya!" "Something's happening now." "Come here." "Come on!" "Let go!" "Let me go!" "Come on!" "Help!" "Let go of me!" "Don't even come close!" "I'll kill her!" "What's more important to them?" "To free the girl or neutralise him?" "Back!" "Or I'll kill her!" "I'll kill her." "I will!" "Well..." "Shall we call it a day?" "Yes." "Yes." "Take care." "Bye." " Anything wrong?" " What?" "No." "There is." " Eigilsson tried to kill himself." " Who?" " My dad." "He did that wrong too." " How awful." " He's tried before." " Why call him Eigilsson?" "Eigilsson's name is Eigilsson." " You're a hard man." " Yes." " Actually I asked you a question." " Did you?" "Yes." " When you got the ring." " So you did." "What's your answer?" "No, thanks." " Bye." "And thanks." " Bye." "Don't you ever go home?" "I have to decrypt the file that came with the video." "I've done it." " What?" " It was simple." "It was a name." "Of a German." "I wrote it down." "Dr Helmuth Wolf." " Helmuth Wolf?" " Is it important?" "Benjamin would have killed his wife to get this." "Possibly to blackmail some big shot who was into child pornography." "Is it important?" "Helmuth Wolf." "My oath!" "Helmuth Wolf is Head of Security at the European Central Bank." " Humbert perhaps?" " Meaning?" "Helmuth Wolf has access to the latest Euro security files." "Benjamin Stern got his claws into... a real money-spinner."
