"I know you're worried but everything will be fine." " I'll do all I can to make us..." " Don't worry." "That's not it." "I just woke up." " I'm looking forward to it." " Becoming Swedish?" " That's impossible." " In your dreams." " It'll be nice living with you." " It will be really, really nice." "I'll make some coffee." "Lund here." "In the rear building." "A vagrant found her." "The building's empty." "No witnesses." "The team's questioning people in the flats facing the yard." " How old is the girl?" " Impossible to tell." "I've never seen anything like it." "I'm sorry this is happening today." "Hey!" "Switch the lights on." "Hello!" "THANKS FOR SEVEN GOOD YEARS." "THE BOYS." "Good heavens." "If you yhink light beer and fermented herrings are for you by all means have a go at it." "Thanks." "We wish you well in your new life with the arch-enemy." "We'll miss you." "I'm sure I'm speaking for the whole squad when I say that." "Everything went well." "I'll tell you later." " Did the removalists come?" " Yes, almost finished." " Okay." " I'll drop the keys off soon." " Did Mark help?" " No, he went to school." "He said he was in a hurry." "Really?" " Did he finished packing?" " I did the last bit, but it's fine." "I'll pick him up from school before we say goodbye to Mum." " Can I help you?" " Is this Lund's office?" "Hello?" "Hold on." "I'm Sarah Lund." "Jan Meyer, the new deputy superintendent." " Shall I wait?" " No." "I have to run, darling." "See you at the airport." "Bye." " Do you mind if I smoke?" " Go ahead." " So, you're moving to Sweden?" " Yes, my boyfriend's Swedish." "My son and I are moving to Sweden tonight." "My wife's sister did something similar." " Similar?" " Yes." "She missed out here so she moved to Bornholm Island." "He was a great guy and awsome with kids." " But it didn't work." " Why not?" "They lived so far out in the sticks they went balmy." " Where will you live?" " A place called Sigtuna." "Out in the sticks." " You've met, I see." " Yes, we've had the pleasure." "Could you look at this before you go?" "Of course, I've got loads of time." "Thanks for the chat and good luck with it all." " Yoo too." " Why not take Meyer along?" " Give him some tips?" " Wouldn't you prefere to unpack?" "Not at all." "I've got time enough." " Let's hunt some robbers." " Great." " Don't forget your farwell reception." " I won't." "Thanks." "What exactly will you do in Stockholm?" "A bit of everything." "On an equal footing with the Swedish police?" "Yes, it's a collaboration." "But you can't carry a weapon or arrest people." "Not before I become a swedish citizen but..." "So whatis it exactly you're going to do?" " Shall we look at this?" " A kindy group found it." "A teacher reported it around 8,30." " Blood?" " Yes, but not much." "Nosebleed or neck artery?" "Can you be more specific?" "Closer to nosebleed." "Who frequents this area?" "Kindy groups during the day, prostitutes with their clients at night." "How long has it been here?" "The teachers didn't see anything on Friday." " And no reports?" " No, and nothing at the hospitals." " Do we know who she is?" " No." "All we know is that she's a size 36." "We found this." "A video card." "'Theis Birk Larsen'" "We thought the cusomer might have dropped it." "Maybe they got into a fight and he threw her out." "It was dark but she found her things and walked back to the main road." "Have you searched the area?" "We waded around for two hours." "all we got was a cold." "All right." "Check the guy on the card." "Any news, let me know." "Done." "Regards to Sweden." "Why can't we check him?" "I'd like to talk to a guy who left a bare-arsed hooker here." "These cases don't normally come under us." "I'm not normal." "I just want to talk to him." "If a hooker has been robbed that's generally the end of it." "That depends on the questions we ask." "But if you're busy and on your way..." " No, let's check it out." " Great." "Bloody good." "3000 for the van plus the driver of course." "Of course." "Tomorrow..." " Look where you're going." " There are dates everywhere." "You dropped a tes set." "I want compensation." "You must be out of your mind, man." " You compensate me." " What's happening?" "He has no respect for things, theis." "Look what he did." " I paid a lot for this." " Your cousin gave it to you." "We'll deduct it from the bill." "Thanks, Theis." "I'll make a basket for you and your family." "Why did you take the Paki's side?" " Learn to spell 'felafel'." " Listen, i'll do it now." "F-a says 'fa'." "L-a-f says 'laf'." "Falaf." "Then f-e-l. 'Falafel'." " It's me." " Come home now." " What's wrong?" " Just get home now." "all right, I'm coming." "I'm off." "Control yourselves." " What the hell did you do?" " What?" "The dishwasher, damn it." "I'll fix it." " The gaffer tape came off." " Forget it, Theis." "No more gaffer." "I'll call the repairman." " No, you won't." " Yes, i will." " Vagn can fix it." " You've been saying that for months." "Fixed!" "Ready to go." "Call the man, then." "You're doing fine." "Darling, try to get organised." "No, no!" "Don't you dare to do that." "We need to talk about a flat for Nanna." " She hates her small room." " Let her finish her schooling first." "What... if... we could find her a flat around here and pay the deposit?" " It might be not necessary." " Why not?" "I'll tell you later." "Theis, what are you cooking up?" "Time flies." "Can you get the boys?" "No, i have to see the accountant about the GST." "Tell me now." " It's a surprise." " Theis..." " Ask your sister." " Tell me now." "If I tell you it won't be a surprise." "Theis..." "Yes?" "Nothing." "Let's move, men." "We're in an election campaign." "The mayor's busy." "Fine." "Goodbye." " Is he here?" " Not yet." "They said he left Industry House half an hour ago." "I'm coming." "The new proposal for schools." "We start at 12,30." " Rie says to leave an hour before." " Half an hour." "It's yeast free." " It's a good media oportunity." " Bremer's allways late." "We don't want to look too eager." " New shoes?" " Yes." "With a special support that makes..." "Let's take some notes." "Guaranteed childcare places, clearing up the lakes, an agreement with erestad." " Renovation of sports centers." " Slow down." "Meetings on road taxes, schools law, the North Harbour." " Outsourcing of your new shoes." " What?" "Funny." " Did you see the new figures?" " Yes." "So has the Lord Mayor." "We're ready for the first debate." "Last year we asked for money for the inner-city schools but the lord mayor got the grant cancelled." "Non-attendance due to illness has risen by 20%." "He'll get a surprise." "Yet another image of an arrogant and wilful mayor." "And it supports our school proposal." "Do we know if it was Bremer's decision?" "I have the minutes." "I'll repeat what I said before, no rushed superficial agendas." " It's my fault." " But the candidate could be on time." "I lost my watch." "But I have a good excuse." "The Centre Party..." "It's not official, but..." "I think they'll play ball." " An alliance?" " Yes." "The mayor's support is waning." " I lost my watch?" " I did." "Next time look under the bed." "Bremer's secretary wants you to meet with him." " About what?" " I don't know." "But soon." " In 15 minutes." " You found your watch?" "What?" "No, I..." " That's okay." "Yes." " What's the first item?" "Yes, exactly." "That's what I'm saying." "You'll end up joining him in the government." "Someone's waiting." "Yes, I'll call you." " My apologies." " No worries." "Cicero is interesting." "He could've gone a long way if he'd waited his turn." " Want to read it?" " I'm not really one for textbooks." "After Caesar's murder he tried to revive the republic too soon." "The Romans still admired Caesar." "They thought Cicero went too far." " They executed him." " I know." "Did you know that they displayed his head in the Forum Romanum?" "You wanted..." "Congratulations, you're doing well in the polls." "Yes, we are." "I think you'll be a very good lord mayor." "But not this time." "I'm retiring in four years." "Why don't you wait?" " Why should I?" " I'll tell you why." "I've got a good offer for you." "I promise you'll be present when the big decisions are made." "That will clear your way." "In four years you'll have no competition." "That won't be necessary." "I'm just trying to maintain a civil tone between us." "I'll tell you straight." "Your time is up." "I'm not the only one who thinks so." "Forget everything about the Centre Party." "They may shift now and then but they know where they belong." "I'll see you at the debate." "I presume I can't avoid it." "Oh, good." "I almost forgot." "I'll be at your place in ten minutes." "Bye." "Hello." "Jan Meyer, police." " Is Theis Birk Larsen around?" " What's it about?" " We just want to see him." " Yes." "He's not here." "Come back monday." "I'm late." " Is he upstairs?" " Is it about parking, or what?" "We just want to talk." "What did he do on the weekend?" "We were at Sejer Bay with the boys all weekend." "He's a removalist?" "He may have been in town on business." "Not on his first free weekend in two years." "What did he do last night?" "He went to bed." "He was at work at 5 again." "You're quite sure?" "I was there." "I don't care what you think Theis has been up to." "We were at the bay." "End of story." " We'll come back another day." " Good idea." "You have a daughter?" "Yes?" "And two young boys who weren't roaming the streets." "Does she borrow her dad's video card sometimes?" " Maybe." "Why?" " Did she sleep at home last night?" "She slept at a girlfriend's She's in school." "Why?" "Call her now." "HI, NANNA HERE." "I'M DOING MY HOMEWORK." "LEAVE A MESSAGE AND I'LL CALL YOU BACK." "BYE." "HI, IT'S ME." "CALL ME WHEN YOU GET THIS." "NANNA, CALL ME BACK." " Hi." "Have you seen Nanna?" " No." "Why?" "Nothing." "Good morning." "Sit down, the lesson's started." "This is the day... you have the chance to find out who to vote for in the election." "Why are council elections so important?" "NANNA WHERE THE DEVIL ARE YOU" "Because we live in a country with voting rights." "Let me hear your questions for the mayor's debate." "Lisa?" "Could we have your question?" "Yes?" "I forgot." "You have a chance to experience a functioning democracy." "Excuse me, is Nanna Birk Larsen here?" "Um...no." "Have any of you seen Nanna today?" "When did you last speak to her?" " Did something happen?" " The police are looking for her." "I saw her at the party on Friday." "Her mum says she spent the weekend with you." "What?" " You don't know where she is?" " How would I?" "If you hear from her get her to call her parents." "The candidates are on their way." "They'll need the room." "We'll be out in ten minutes." " Get everyone to the atrium." " Of course." "Lisa, if you know where Nanna is tell us now." "I don't know." "Thanks." "She's not at school." "She's at Lisa's." " She must be." " Lisa is at the school." "She says Nanna didn't sleep over on the weekend." "Where is she, then?" "What's happened." "Hopefully nothing has happened." "Anyway, we'll do our best to find out." "Do you have a photo?" "Lund here." "I need every man we've got." "It's in relation to a missing student, Nanna Birk Larsen, 19 years old, last seen on Friday." "Bremer will talk broadly of his achievments." "Stay focused." "The Nurrebro school is paramount." "The non-attendance due to illness, underfunding of maintenance..." "Wait a minute." "Move in with me?" "After the election." "I hate all the secrecy." "I look after you." "It's my job." "There might be some votes in it." "How about this?" "' Advisor strikes it lucky." "Candidate smitten.'" "After the election." "Are you ready?" "I'm ready." "Why wouldn't I be?" "I know where you were this morning." "It's okay." "But I wish you'd tell me." "I want to tell you, it's not..." "It's just..." "I'm ready." "The lord mayor is here." " We can start now." " We're ready." "Hopefully the Center Party likes your schools proposal too." "It's got a lot of good principles." " So much of it reminds one of your dad." " Okay." "Not because I think it's old-fashioned." "It's got a lot of the same vibrant energy." "That happens when one has a burning desire." "It was a shame he didn't succeed then." "Many of us thought so." "What's done is done." "I can fix it now." "Yes, you could." "And you're mouch robust." "Your father was more..." "How shall I put it?" "Fragile." "Right?" " Something's happening." " We've got a problem." "Sarah Lund, police." " We can't cancel now." " We need to talk to her class." "Maybe she's just wagging." "To say a girl is missing will cause alarm." "The students will return to their class and the teachers will question them." " Can you push it back an hour?" " Imposible." "I have..." "They were looking forward to it and the press is here." "It's up to Troels Hartmann." "I'm just a guest." " How serious is it?" " Hopefully it isn't, but..." "I fear it's serious." " Good." "We'll cancel." " Why?" "Thank you." "We can't talk politics if the girl is hurt." " No." "We'll find another day." " when?" "Can we organise a time now?" "No." "Call my secretary for a date." "I forgot to tell you what I've done for your inner city schools." "Non-attendance due to illness is up by 20%." "Unacceptable." "So I gave them a grant for maintenance." "Happy?" "Bye, Troels." "Go back to your classes." "You'll be told then." "Third class over there." " Lisa, where are you going?" " To get something." "Lisa!" " Lisa's skipped out." " I'll send someone to her home."

" There was a band." " What did Nanna wear?" "They were all dressed as ghosts and pumpkins." " Something like that?" " Yes." " Does she have a boyfriend?" " I have no idea." "Talk to Lisa." "They hang out together." "Nanna!" "Oliver!" " Have you seen Oliver?" " Isn't he at work?" "He's not at work and he didn't go to school." "Have you seem him or Nanna?" " Sit down." " No." "Is Nanna with Oliver?" " How keen are you to know?" " Everybody's looking for her." "They've called the police." " What?" " Weren't you in school?" "I came home to study."

"The boys get their own rooms." "Pernille will get her new kitchen." "See the top window?" "The entire top storey is for Nanna, with her own entrance." " It must have cost a fortune." " It's a long-term investment." "I've got a big familly." "What is it?" "Nothing." "There's a place for you too." "There's a room in the basement." "You'll need some extra income to cover that." "What are you talking about?" "I've got 30 new BO TV sets." "Brand new with flat screens." " As easy as scratching your arse." " Are you broke?" "Listen..." "I've sold half of them." "I just need the hand truck..." "Here's an advance." "Stop that shit." "But I don't need this." " You'll get it back." " Yes, yes." "What if they can't find her?" "Or they believe..." "Half the class wear those jumpers." "It may not be hers that they've found." "What about the video card?" "I don't know." "There must be an explanation." "Did the police talk to Lisa?"

"The dogs followed it from there all the way here." "We found some hair in the scrub further up." " Where does the trail end?" " Right here." "It zig-zagged through the woods and ended up here." "What's close by?" "A road." "Perhaps a car picked hed up and drove off." "What about her mobile?" "No signal." "Lund, we've been over this route twice." "She's not out here."

" Morten, did you get Bremer?" " The debate must wait." "That will suit him fine." "He issued a press release about the grant during the school visit." "Tell me, how could he know?"

"Why don't we have a house-warming party on Saturday?" "We could invite Lasse and Missan, Bosse and Janne." " My parents and your mother." " Yes, that's great." "Your mother wanted to decorate the guest room." "But if you're against the idea she'll be visiting often..." "What's over there?" " More forest and a canal." " Canal?" " Did we search there?" " Stop!" "We've searched." "She walked in the opposite direction." "I can't make the flight." " What did you say?" " Catch the flight." "I love you." "Shit!" " Yes?" " It wasn't her." "Where is she, then?" "I'll call the police again." "They may know." "Wait." " What?" " Theis?" " What?" " Are the police still there?" " I'll see what's going on." " What's happening?" " Turn around, sir." " What have they found?" " Turn around, sir." "Oh, no." "There's her father." " Theis?" "Theis!" " What?" "Let me pass." "I want to know." "Is that my daughter over there?"
