"Every sailor is fond of the ladies but my love you can have faith in me" "I've told you so many times lately there is no other lady for me except for Susannah Brigitte and Hannah and Laura and Anna and Lisa and Liz" "and also Belinda Eliza and Greta and Anna Karina and Molly and Sis" "every sailor must travel the seas but at night when I'm steering the ship" "I look at the sky and I then see a star that tells me you are not far" "THE KILLING Ill" "WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9" "So far the election has been marked by the financial crisis"." "DAY 1 ...which was emphasized this morning by the latest index numbers." "The deficit continues to grow and the number of companies shutting dawn is still on the rise." "The PM maintains his optimism and stresses the necessity of reducing expenditure in all comers of society." "The major topic of the day is that observers claim to know that the oil and shipping giant Zeeland is moving to Asia." "This would be a serious setback for the economy and the government." "But so far the PM and Zeeland remain silent on the matter..." " I'm looking for Sarah Lund." " She's around somewhere." " Sarah Lund?" " Try out back," "Maybe you can stop by for dinner tonight?" "No, I'd rather see you, talk a little and meet your girlfriend." " I can show you the house!" " Sarah Lund?" "The garden isn't done yet." "I want tons of trees and bushes." "The nursery said I still have time to plant it all before the frost sets in." "Yes, at six or five." "I can leave early." "I just want to see you." "It's been so long." "Great." "What does she like, your girlfriend?" "I look forward to seeing you and..." "Eva." "Bye-bye." "Hi." "Asbjom Juncker." "I'm the new police inspector." " I was told you'd show me the ropes." " Yes." "Grab some coffee." "I think there's bread, too." "I'd really just like to get started." "The others seemed busy." " Whose silver anniversary is it?" " Lund, congratulations." "I wanted to stop by earlier, but I'll see you later anyway." "The whole house is busy with the budget, so I'm in charge of the event." " The new guy." "Asbjørn." " Juncker." " Just call me Juncker." " Good to see a fresh face." " Any news about the OPA position?" " It will be decided today," " The Chief makes the decision." " Yes." "Well, just as long as I get it." "Now that I have papers on my 25 years on the force, I've earned..." " Yes, so you say." " Maybe you could say it, too." "He doesn't know me, and someone may have given him the wrong impression." "It would be a great help if you'd put in a good word." "The Chief will attend the diploma presentation." "I'll try and catch him." "But show up yourself and make a good impression." "Yes, I'll do that." "Thanks." "I still believe you've made the wrong decision." " I know." " Don't forget the uniform." " Shall we go?" " Yes." "Congratulations on your anniversary." " That's amazing." " Thank you." "So what are you gonna do in Operative Planning and Analysis?" "You plan and analyze things." "OPA is really interesting." "Watch that ﬂower bud." "Some call it SOFA, because it's sort of light work, but I'm sure that's not true." " Where were you before?" " At Bellahøj." " I've been waiting to transfer here." " Why?" " Because I want to make a difference." " Make the world a better place?" "Is that a problem?" "You think I'm too young, don't you?" "That's fine, but I'm better than anyone who talks about pensions or a raise for scratching their own ass." "You have nothing to worry about." "Great." "This place is a collecting point for scrap metal. 1000 tonnes per week." "It's shipped off for recycling by train or on container ships to the Far East." " Where's the body?" " All over the place, more or less." "The crane operator choked on his coffee, when he realised what it was." "The grab cut the body in half." "We have seven pans thus far." "Why haven't we stopped the other cranes from running?" "The foreman can't afford to stop them." "They're far enough away from here." "No ID?" "Male. 4555." "It's impossible to put together his face." "They've had trouble with homeless people scavenging." "It's probably one of them." " Cause of death?" " Forensics are working on it." "But this isn't exactly a safe place to pass out drunk." "And no reports, missing persons or witnesses?" "Over there is the industrial harbour with the Zeeland container terminal." " No one reported anything." " Okay." "Well, I just came to drop off Asbjørn." "Get photos of his distinctive features and interview the homeless." " Of course." "Happy anniversary." " Thank you." "I don't think he was homeless." "He's wearing a gold ring, and then there are the tattoos..." "Look at that." "If he just collapsed, then why is his skin wrinkled as if he'd been lying in the dock several hours." "And the cuts on his wrist can't be from the crane." "Right, you heard him." "Start with the homeless." "Ask Zeeland and the dock office if they're missing a sailor." "What about the ships and the rest of the dock?" "No, but if you need fresh air, feel free to go for a stroll on the dock." " Have a good day." " You, too." " What do you want for this?" " A tenner for a round of beers." " Is he ready?" " He's picking up the kids." "Emilie!" "Come on!" "We'll be late!" "Emilie!" " Why won't it talk anymore?" " Well, you let it ﬂy out the window." "When you let it ﬂy out the window, it breaks." "We've talked about that." " There you are!" " When can I have a cat?" " What were you doing?" " You promised, Dad." "I did?" "I don't think so." "I promised to talk to Mum about getting a pet other than a cat." " Are your shoes wet again?" " That's okay." "No, it's not, Emilie." "We'll be late." "I saw it." "Someone's preparing for the board meeting tonight." "I've notified the Board of Directors that you wish to convene immediately." " The driver is ready." " Find Emilie same dry shoes." "The children's mother just called." "The school meeting is now." " I'll postpone the board meeting." " Yes." "Hurry up, kids." "I'll take you." "Come, Call." "Mum's here." " Hi." " What are you doing here?" " I just want a word with Dad." " Dad wants to ask you something." " I'll ask Mum later, sweetie." " No, ask her now, Dad." "My lecture in Toronto has been rescheduled." "I'm leaving tomorrow." " So I had to reschedule this, too." " Yes, so I gather." "If I had asked you first, you would've said no." "Come, Carl." "Thank you for the playground." "The children love it." " Good." "I'd like to talk about Emilie." " Yes, you are concerned?" "Yes." "She was with me all last week." "She doesn't seem happy," "She doesn't want to do stuff." "I think she's holding back something." "When I ask her about it, she doesn't answer." "What is she like here?" "She was a bit quiet at one point." "Did you notice a problem, too?" "No." " And she hasn't said anything?" " No." "She seems happy." "Getting a cat really helped her." " What?" " Nothing helps like a pet..." "What cat?" "Emilie is allergic." "She can't be around cats." "It seems I got something wrong then." "We did these last week." "She took these with her phone camera." " I didn't give her any cat." " Then where did she get them?" "She's under supervision 24-7 with me." "You'd better talk to your mother." " Are there any more pictures?" " Yes." "Reinhardt." "The PM's staff want a clarification of the article." "The Prime Minister wants it disproved." " Tell them we're busy." "The board?" " The Board is ready." "But there's something else." "The police found a body in the dock." "They ask if he's one of ours." " Hopefully not." " We're checking our crew." "Thank you." "See you later." "I don't understand." "Did she say it was her cat?" " So, if that's all..." " Yes, well, it was a while back." "And I'm sure Emilie has an explanation." "Let me walk you out." "Robert, hang on." "I'd like to..." "I'd like to talk to Emilie, before I leave." "Can I pick up the kids?" " There's no need." "I'll handle it." " But I'd like to talk to her." "There's nothing wrong." "And if there is, I'll handle it." "Have a good trip." "In the last decade the government has starved our society with a policy that has only benefited the rich!" "And yet, today's paper tells us that not even the business sector, which the PM's party caters to, has confidence in this policy." "Zeeland, Denmark's largest company, are joining the group of companies who threatens to stick us with the bill and ship their workplaces to Asia." "Our economic policy is popular with Zeeland." "Yes, because you suck up to them and give them discount on oil and taxes!" "If anyone is sucking up to anyone..." "If anyone is sucking up, it's you!" "You and your party want us to believe the crisis will be over if we vote for you." "The problem is, that ifs not true." "I know it's hard on you and on a lot of people in Denmark." "For far too long we've been hearing about layoffs, bankruptcies, private savings disappearing into thin air." "If you want us to put on blinders and pass on the problems to our kids, then vote for Ussing." "But if you're willing to act responsibly, vole for me." "Can the PM guarantee that the rumors will not result in more discount for Zeeland?" "If the business sector has reasonable conditions, workplaces stay here." "But there are limits." "Everyone must contribute." "Including Zeeland." "I told you to rein in the rhetoric about the article." "He kept on about the damn article." "Zeeland will have to deny it." "I left messages everywhere." "I think somethings up." "This can't disrupt our proposal to the Centre Party." "The deal must be sealed." "We're working on it." "But now we're off to see the homeless." "I don't just want photo ops." "I want to talk to people." "There are no votes in the homeless without pictures." "One second." "I just saw you on TV." "If!" "weren't from another party, I'd vote for you." " Do it anyway." " Will I see you before you leave?" "It'll be difficult." "I need to make a deal with your party." "That's why I'm calling." "The group will point to you as Prime Minister." " But are you on top of Zeeland?" " Absolutely." "Ussing is grasping at straws." "It will be denied later today." "Where are you?" " At an election meeting." " I'll call you later." "The homeless visit is cancelled." "There's been a homicide at the dock." " A homicide?" " They sense a threat." "Special Branch is investigating alongside the police." "We're not cancelling the homeless." "It would be a headline for Ussing." "If Special Branch don't find anything concrete, we'll do it later today." "I'll have your brother check it out." "Who called?" "My dentist." "I forgot an appointment." " Yes, hello?" " Juno/rec Forensics confirm homicide." "The guy was smashed in the face with a claw hammer." " Talk to your group leader." " We checked with Zeeland." "They have no missing people, One of the homeless saw something." "It was over there." "I thought they were chasing a seal." "The individual was chased by a speedboat." "They were moving towards the junk yard which fits with Lyngby Radio getting a distress signal at 2:30 that was interrupted." "We need to check the ships that arrived last night." "If the ship hasn't reported anyone missing, it must have already left." "We can't know that for sure." "Special Branch is snooping around as well." "The guy in charge wants to talk to you, and if they think it's important..." "Special Branch will have to wait." "Talk to the group leader and do as he says." "...an important marker of the quality of our work." "You're our backbone." "You are the toughness and strength of the corps year after year." "You represent responsibility, esprit de corps and presence..." "I'm sorry to disturb you on a day like this, but I've called several times." " Are you okay?" " Yes." "Could we have a moment alone?" "Thank you'" " Congratulations on everything." " Thanks." "I'm on a case." "What do you have on the perpetrator?" " What case?" " The homicide." "What do you have?" "Nothing." "I don't have anything." "Nothing?" "You've searched the ships and the rest of the dock?" "Borch, I haven't seen you since we said goodbye at the academy and now you just show up and pull me out here?" "I have to go back in." " I'm in Special Branch." "Didn't you know?" " No." "And with those words I invite the jubilees to join me and receive a diploma for dedicated service." "It started two weeks ago with a break-in at a Zeeland office." "It looked like a normal theft of a computer and loose change." "Special Branch is informed as a matter of routine as the computer contained info on Zeeland's security system." "What does that have to do with the homicide'?" "Strangely, no camera at the dock registered what happened last night." "Aha..." "Shortly after the distress signal, all surveillance breaks down." "Let's stay in touch in case we find anything worrying." "This doesn't sound worrying?" "The breakdown of all surveillance?" "And there's a dead man in the harbour when it goes back on?" "On the very day the PM is going to visit?" "We're in a financial crisis and involved in two wars." " So the PM isn't all that popular." " I'll pass it on to the group leader." "Sarah, I'd like you to look into it now." "We've already ordered it started, but I'd like you to be in charge." "No one is reported missing." "The victim was from a foreign ship." "The problem has sailed on." "I'd still like you to check it out." "You can get your certificate afterwards." "You look good." " How far have they come?" " Still no identification." "But we've made inquiries, and he's not one of ours." "But we've launched our own investigation of our ships." "Special Branch is involved, so I suppose it's about the PM and a potential threat." " Against the PM?" " He was supposed to go there today." "Special Branch is talking about a breach in our surveillance system." "So, our terminal operations will be affected for the rest of the day." "Also, the PM's office is impatient for our rebuttal of the article-." "If Special Branch questions our security, please handle it personally'" "Certainly." "How about the Board?" "Shouldn't I be there?" "I'll handle it." "Would you ask around the house if anyone has seen a cat." "Maja worries about Emilie's allergies, and I don't want any trouble." " Hi, sweetie." " Hi, Mum." " You left your mittens in the car." " Thank you." " Can I have a few drawings?" " Sure." " Here." "You can have these." " They're beautiful." "And this one." " How are things at Dad's?" " Great." "What a cute kitten." "Where did you see it?" "Al Dad's?" "If it's a secret you share, I have to know..." "It's just a cat I saw one day, I won't see it again." "Okay." "Fine." "Enough about that, then." "Don't you like Dad anymore?" " Emilie, what's wrong?" " Nothing." "May I see your ann?" "No, no, no." "May I see?" "Stand still." "Emilie!" "What is this?" "Ladies, gentlemen, Kornerup..." "Thank you for your patience." "We've discussed the items and can get right down to business." "Yes, please." "I'd like to start with this." "ZEELAND LEAVES THE SINKING SHIP" " Where did this came from?" " Journalists are everywhere." " We support the government." " We also have a business to run." " The crisis doesn't exactly help." " Maja Zeuthen's on the line." "Robert Zeuthen is in a meeting." "They don't know when they're done." "The parliamentary group and the party are nervous." "They want to know why Zeeland doesn't refute the article." " Don't we know someone?" " I left a message with someone." "Maybe this is him calling." " Do you have a minute?" " We're working on the Zeeland thing." " Are we ready for tonight?" " Yes." "The final meetings are in place." "But I've spoken to Special Branch, and the homeless visit is off." " Can I have that?" " Sure." "Special Branch don't want us to reveal why we're cancelling." "It'll look like we don't care about the homeless." "Ussing will love it." " Screw him." " Ussing is whipping up a storm." "It looks like I'm stealing from the poor to give to the rich." "The crisis, the campaign and Ussing bring out the lunatics." "We're getting some fan mail that we could do without." "Yes, and that's why we have to show ourselves among the homeless and talk about real issues and not just rumors." " I doubt the article will be denied." " Why not?" "The board is trying to work around Robert Zeuthen-." "He's new and the Board don't share the family's patriotic feelings." "But Zeuthen is still at the head of the table." "I won't waste time on a headline when he's long since promised not to move more of the company abroad." "My source insists that they will sidetrack Zeuthen at the meeting." "And that makes his promise worthless." "We can't change the whole campaign." "Without Zeeland, there is no plan." "It's not a street vendor, you know." "Stoffer, if this fails, it could cost us the election." "Losing Zeeland will hurt the party." "Yes, but we're handing the Centre Party to the opposition if Zeeland gets special treatment." "And we need the Centre Pany." "If you ask the Treasury, we need Zeeland more." "But you can't count on them?" "My brother rebuilt the party!" "Save it for the family reunion." "I'll check up on the board meeting." "We'll call a press conference where you offer Zeeland a goodie." "That's exactly what Ussing wants!" "Should I also write on the posters:" ""Everyone should contribute except the rich"?" "We don't make a move until we've talked to the Centre Party." "No, but we can't wait around all day for them." " Set up a meeting with Lebech." " We're off to Danish Industry." " I'll squeeze in a Lebech meeting." " She's at an electoral meeting." " How the hell do you know that?" " I heard it on the radio." "Set up the meeting and put pressure on Special Branch so I can meet the homeless." "Yes." "He won't change his mind." "It runs in the family." " Is the Chief still at the event?" " I don't/mow." "What does Special Branch say about the threat?" "Special Branch thinks the perpetrator is up to something." "But the Chief must be told why I wasn't there." "I want full focus on the dock." "Collaborate with Special Branch" "Yes, okay." "I have to go." "The deceased was found there, and the homeless saw something here." " We should examine the vessels." " We did and came up empty." "The dock staff don't know anything." "Let's search the containers." "That's Asbjørn." "He just started." "This is the list of ships from Zeeland." "If that's all, I've been called lo HQ." "There must be a spot the victim swam from." "And it must be close by, because the perp short-circuited the system." "Why would the perpetrator be interested in a sailor if he's after the PM'?" "It doesn't make sense." "Don't his tattoos tell you anything about who he is?" "Or his ring?" "No." "But did anyone check what sailed by here last night?" "Someone could have let off a passenger..." "Reinhardt, Zeuthen's assistant." "Did you find anything?" "Not yet." "I'm Mathias Borch." "This is chief inspector Lund." "Zeuthen is worried about the situation." "He's asked me to lend a hand." " And can you recode your surveillance?" " We're on it." "It takes time." " Any crew problems lately?" " No, we never experience that." "Could a ship arrive here without you knowing it?" "The entire area is monitored around the clock with sensors and alarms." " Where could you go unnoticed?" " Nowhere." "Except perhaps at the old dock by Stubben." " But you can't load or unload there." " Let's lake a look at it." "Certainly." "Follow me." "Follow us." "This area has been deserted for years." "We had grand construction plans, but then the crisis set in." " Who uses the area?" " Mostly anglers and bird watchers." " But there are no ships here." " What's that out there?" "MEDEA, an old freight ship." "We sold it to a Latvian shipping company, but they went bankrupt." "It's been lying at anchor ever since." "It'll probably end up as scrap metal." " Is it manned?" " Yes, of course." "There are three men on board just as the rules prescribe." " Burch." " Have you spoken to the crew?" "Several times." "Last night about the distress signal and again this morning." "They reported everything okay." "Okay." "Yes." "I'll establish contact again, if you want to go out there." "We would appreciate that." "Right?" "The dock police has a boat ready." "It was the dock office." "A Russian coaster sailed up the Sound last night." "So thanks for the offer, but it won't be necessary." "Shouldn't we go out there and check if..." " It doesn't explain the cameras." " Asbjom, are you coming?" "We still don't know if he came from the coaster." "It takes days to find that out, and by then the perpetrator has sailed off." "I don't need to wait around for that." "Bye." "We can reduce our cost on the shipyard by 40%." "The rise in exchange rates covers the cost of the move." "So all in all it looks quite feasible." "Nice proposal." "But it was planned for 10-15 years from now." "The final decision lies in the hands of the Board." "The state of the market doesn't change overnight." "If the government loses the election, we'll have four years with a red cabinet." "Yes, and that's why we support the government's plans." "Robert, I know how you feel." "The company has been in your family for generations." "I said I didn't want to be disturbed." "I'm sorry, but Maja Zeuthen has picked up the children from school." "She wants Emilie in treatment for her allergies and to take care of the children for the next few days." "Thank you." "Robert, let's be honest." "This is what the Board wants." "If the PM caves in, fine." "Then we'll postpone it a few years." "We need to speed up the process and signal that we're prepared to..." "I have to leave." "We'll continue the meeting later." "Are you sure you don't want to go?" "It'll pass in a few day." "I can't." "I've been looking forward to it, but it won't do." "I'll stay home, too." "We'll do something with the kids." "Look, ifs Dad." "Hi." "Come, kids." "Get in my car." " Come." "Where are their things?" " No, come with me..." "Come, Carl." "Get in the car." " If you think you'll get custody..." " She has a rash all over her body." "Either you're lying, or she's been around a cat, and you're clueless." "I know what she's up to when she's with me." "And it's not like this is fatal." "It could actually be quite serious." "An allergic reaction left unattended..." " The children stay with me." " Stop it." "All you think of is the firm." "They are my children, damn it!" "You left!" "You're not there anymore." "I saw the cat when I played at Ida's." "I don't want to live with you." "I only want to live with Dad." " Yes?" " Reinhardt." " Emilie, wait." " Haw did the meeting go?" "We're not done." "I want to meet with Komerup in one hour." " We'll talk about it." "Don't say that." " I'll be home at 11." "You can be with the kids at the house." "I'll let you know when I'll be home." "Then you'll know when to leave." "They were really nice." "Thank you." "And good luck." "Okay." "Bye." "So you made it after all." "I wish the circumstances were different." "There are candles and mattresses." "Have Special Branch stand guard." "What?" "There's a good chance the rumors about Zeeland are true." "I may have to give them something." "How much special treatment are we talking about?" "Enough to make them think twice." "So everyone must contribute except Zeeland?" "I don't have to ask my party to know that they won't accept it." "What if I offer you a ministerial post?" "In an area that has your interest." "Sure, if we're talking about the PM's office." "This isn't what we've worked towards." "It goes against all our agreements." "They know they have the upper hand." "If Zeeland wants to pull the plug there's not a damn thing we can do." "It goes against everything you believe." " I'm hoping you'll change your mind." " I won't." "I'll be right out." " Have a good campaign." " Thank you." "We don't need the Centre Party." "We can do without them." "It won't be a broad-based government, but it's still better than nothing." "Sources in Zeeland confirm that Zeuthen is on his way out." "Special Branch has called off the alarm." "We can visit the homeless now." "Prepare a text, and let's get it over with." "The PM is calling a press conference when we return from the dock." "The Prime Minister will comment on the matter after a visit to the docks." "He'll most likely reduce his demands on Zeeland." "Ussing isn't surprised." "We saw that coming." "Its in line with the social injustice the government stands for." " I think the PM should..." " Yes, hi." "I thought you might get lost." "You tum left at the yellow house." "Mum, we can?" "come." " Oh..." " Eva's sick." "We'll have to postpone," "Okay." "Is it serious?" "No, it's just the ﬂu." "See you some other time." "Yes, that's fine." "We'll work something out." "Feel better, okay?" "And take care." " See you'" " No, Maw..." "Yes?" "I know that..." "I know I haven't always been there for you, and that..." "I haven't always been good at..." "I can see that now." "And I understand if you're angry at me." "And I understand if you think I did everything wrong." " Because I did." " Mum..." "I'd just really like to see you once in a while." " I don't have time right now" " Haw about tomorrow?" " Tomorrow's not good either." " Say when." "The "en day'?" " I'd like us to find a date." " Well, we can't now." "If have to be another day, okay?" "Hallo?" "Yes." "That's fine." "Just let me know." " Yes, see you." " Bye-bye." " Brix." " It's Lund." "Do you have a minute?" "No, not really." "And I gather you got the job, so congratulations." " Are there still people at the dock?" " No." "You called them off." "I want to examine a Zeeland ship." "I don't have time to ask permission." "What ship is that?" "You said there was nothing there of interest." "And send a team out to Stubben." "There's a shed out there." "I think the perpetrator used it." " Lund, what's going on?" " I'll call back later." "What the hell is going on?" "Lund..." "How sure are you?" "The dock office contacted the ship, but they never replied." "Damn it, I've given the go-ahead to the PM at the dock." "You can change that, can't you?" "We're heading there now." "Report back when you know more." " We must go to the conference." " Thank you." "Thank you all." "Special Branch is rushing us." "They want us out of here immediately." "'Everyone must contribute' is still the theme, but somewhat adjusted so that you can point to Zeeland as a national ﬂagship." " It's also a signal to Zeeland..." " I get it, Karen." "I hope Zeeland throws an extra cheque in our campaign fund for this." " What about Zeeland?" " This is not about Zeeland." "But Zeeland is a vital part of the government's plan." "The PM will address your questions at the press conference." "The most important issue..." "is to focus on having a society that helps those who need it." "That is only possible, if everyone contributes." "So all the speculations about giving Zeeland special privileges are simply not true." "There are no special privileges." "When we say everyone must contribute, we mean everyone." "We must pull together, if we're to help this country out of the crisis." "I am confident that Zeeland understands that." "And I call on them to show consideration." "Good." "Please make sure it's taken care of." "Thank you." "I apologise for the delay." "The security company will stop by your house tomorrow." "They remembered that your system is connected to the one at the dock." "My apologies." "I had to see what the PM had to say." "What an epitaph." "The usual voter clichés." "Which just makes it easier for the Board to reach a decision." "Did you get a chance to evaluate our proposal?" "Yes, thank you." "I have no doubt that we're doing the right thing." "Nor have I." " I will stick to our 10-year plan." " I don't understand." "You're relieved of your CEO duties effective immediately." "Ever since I took over from my father, you've steered your own course." "We no longer have faith in you." "Is this a joke?" " What is going on?" " The Board has been informed." "Your resignation will be officially adopted at tonight's meeting." "You can't do that." "The Board will back me." "Not when they're asked to consider that the newspaper has admitted that it was your headline." "You must have forgotten that we're the main stockholder of the publisher." "Your personal belongings have been gathered." "Please leave the building without further delay." "No." "Contact the State Department." "They've waited long enough." "A crisis meeting has been called." "What happened?" "Stop it." "He did the right thing." "It's pouring in." "The Shipping Association, Danish Industry..." "It had to be done, if we didn't want to alienate the Centre Party." "So what?" "Who cares?" "I wasn't hired to seore own goals." "I want to know what's going on." "It was a political decision." "You don't have to agree with it." " We got word"." " Have you fallen for Rosa Lebech?" " Karen, stop it!" " I want to know what's going on." "Yes, Stoffer." "What?" "Zeeland just denied the article." "The CEO is resigning." "They'll make a statement today in support of your plan." "I'll draw up a press release praising Zeeland's sense of responsibility." "Yes, and inform the Centre Party immediately." "And leave a copy in Ussing's pigeon hole with my warm regards." " What was that?" "Rosa Lebech?" " I'll tell you later." "Let's go." "Don't tell me you're shagging Rosa Lebech?" "I'm in love with her." "No way!" "We're in the midst of a campaign." "Have you lost your mind?" "We're juggling Zeeland and a crisis, and Special Branch fear an attack." "And you fall in love with the leader of our support party." "I'm on top of it." "Rosa and the Centre Party will point to me as PM." "There's no threat from Zeeland or the dock." "Let's go." "Hello?" " Shouldn't there be three of them?" " The third one is our victim." "Get hold of HQ and have someone notify Borch." "There's no signal." "Why would someone come here and go berserk because of the PM?" "What the hell's going on?" "Where are you going?" " To feed the hedgehog." " The hedgehog?" "Now?" " Yes, it's okay with Dad." " Okay." "Wait up." "I'll bring Carl." "I just have to brush his teeth." " Hi, I didn't leave yet." " I just wanted to check in." "It's better today, but it must be daubed every day until it clears up." "I'll remember." "What are they doing?" " We 're off to feed a hedgehog." " Yes, it's something she's taken up." " I assumed it was okay." " Yes, of course." "We have to figure out what pet to get her." "Yes." "Give them a kiss from me." "I will." "Bye." "Tread lightly with the firing." "Kornerup has friends on the Board." " So do I." " I know, but still." " I checked out the cat thing." " We already know." "The nanny said it was on the other side of the security fence." "It was there one day and then again the next but the nanny had made sure Emilie never touched it." "There's been a cat at the house?" "Where?" "Across the brook, but outside the security fence." "Why?" "Emilie?" "Emilie?" "Emilie?" "Emilie!" "Emilie!" "Emilie!" "Emilie!" "Emilie!" "Emilie!"
