" He calls himself the Groom." "What correspondence!" "He's been emailing the whole world." "It's huge." "If we do this right, we can unravel a whole network of paedophiles." "We've ranked them according to severity." "Classified by country." "The ones at the bottom look and get inspired." "We'll call a meeting with all involved police authorities." "Why couldn't you prevent it?" "He killed his wife and shot himself." " Is that him?" "The Groom?" " Yes." "Where did you get it?" "From a camera in an internet café in Barcelona." ", from a security camera of the man the police suspect of the hotel murder of the Danish girl, Lærke Nielsen." "Investigators have not yet been able to identify him..." "It's Pål Vinge." "manager at the Scandinavia Hotel." "The duty officer, please." " It's Jon Solhøy." " Hi, Jon." " Is Hauge around?" " Hauge's left." " He's not answering his mobile." " Try later." "He may be in the tunnel." " What's it about, Jon?" " We've located the Groom." " You've what?" " He's in Oslo at Hotel Scandinavia." " Do you have a name?" " Yes." "Kyle Grahame." " How do you spell it?" " With an 'e'." "He's in the room now." "with his wife." "She's Denise Brinsley-White." "She's English." " Keep me posted, Jon." " Yes." "Bye." "... in connection with an international paedophile ring." "Terje!" "Terje!" "The Ugandan bishop rang..." "Please write a press release." "Denise is resigning." " What?" " Watch the news." " What do you mean?" " Now, Sissel." "Terje Krogstad." "THE EAGLE a crime odyssey" "The police districts will start the second wave at 11.45." "Using their IP addresses." "we'll pursue and arrest people who have traded child pornography on the net." "We've identified 28." "That's from the whole country." "Ordinary folk." "A teacher, a bailiff..." " Who's that?" " The commissioner." "Yes, that sounds cosy." "Why not?" "I don't agree." "I'll have to accept it." "See you." "Bye." "The commissioner says hi and good work." "Any reply from Europol?" "He's looking forward to the embassy dinner tonight." " Why is he going?" " He's the chief." "Michael's out." "What?" ""Michael's presence is offensive" were his lyrical words." "We pay them a pittance to stand in the front line." "Who's there to back them up?" " He shot the wrong man." " You backed him." " I had my doubts." " The chief too?" "We'll keep Michael here till the final decision." "Who'll tell Michael he's not invited?" "He's not an idiot..." "I'll tell him." "News from Europol." "Dead street kids were found here after Kyle Grahame visited." " This fits the Stockholm case." " Lærke wasn't a street kid." " Did he tire of them?" " Is it possible his wife is involved?" "What about the organisation she raises money for?" "StreetChild of God?" "Worldwide, head office in Oslo." "They work with UNICEF." "I donate." " They do what?" " Collect clothes and money for medicine." " And run holiday camps." " In Denmark too?" " Do they have a Copenhagen branch?" " Yes." "Nazim, find the Fraud Squad's report from last week." "I can't believe they're involved." "I've met Christofferson." " Who?" " The founder, a clergyman." "He preached in Copenhagen Cathedral." "It was an event." "He was a fiery soul." "He was slightly self-important." "but charismatic." "A potential Nobel Prize winner." " You're right, Frandsen." "This is odd." " What is?" "Their cash flow goes the wrong way." "The money doesn't go where it's needed but the other way." "Recently 300.000 euros went from Moscow and St Petersburg to Copenhagen." "Why Copenhagen?" "The Fraud Squad wondered why the money didn't go to Oslo." "It may be money-laundering." "Money is sent via a clean country." "like Denmark." "to a secret account in a dicey country and no questions are asked." "So we conclude they do other things than help street kids." "Seems so." " What's their trade?" " Children." "StreetChild of God had a summer camp here for Russian street kids." "When they left." "a boy and a girl were missing." " Bingo." " It's been reported." " Out on a stealing spree?" " This is interesting." "Preben and Iris Nielsen were volunteers at the camp." "Find the kids." "Shall we get Preben and Iris in?" "Preben is in Sweden." " What about the wife?"

" By the way, Michael..." " I can't go either." "Sorry." "The arrests and the fanciful evasive explanations start at 11.45." "Come on." " It's the police." "Open the door." " Shut up, you two." "Konrad Hansen." "please open the door." "There are too many of them." "I'm not up to it." " I was only looking." " Tell it to the judge." "Come on." "I think they're leaving." "Hello, Denise." "There." "Alex and Galina." "That's how they looked in Moscow." " How old are they?" " He's eleven and she's seven." "Alex Nikolayevich and Galina Ivanovna." " What's their history?" " They're half-siblings." "Their alcoholic mother kicked them out three years ago." "There are lots of those stories." "Many countries can't cope with these kids." "How does StreetChild of God contact the children?" "We find them in the street and contract them." "They have to come to our home every day." "They get washed, go to school and stop sniffing glue." "The carrot is a holiday camp." "Maybe in Denmark." "When they return from the camp." "they go back on the streets?" "Yes." "Many of them do." "Our criterion is not that all succeed." "as long as some do." "I'm a rector." "I believe our care strengthens them." "Whether they end up on the street or not." "How could I be so wrong about Preben and Iris?" "Their papers were clean." "We depend on volunteers." "When did you know the kids had gone?" "When the bus was leaving for the airport." "And when did you see them last?" "Just before." "We went down to the beach for a swim." "So they were missing when it was time to go?" "Yes." "We looked everywhere and in the end we called the police." "The others had to catch the plane." "And then the police arrived." "Alex has always fended for himself." "The police might be right." "They could be hiding to avoid going back." "Was anyone else on the beach?" "I don't know." " I thought I recognised a car." " Whose car?" " Preben and Iris had a guest." " Can you describe the person?" "I didn't see him." "His car was parked all wrong." "But I could hear loud voices from their room." "I fear for what happened later on." "Was it the same car you recognised on the beach?" "I don't know." "All that paedophile shit makes me confused." " What type of car?" " A white Fiat." " I'll check on Preben's extradition." " I'll check on Iris." "Nazim." "I'm glad you called." "Ask Iris about their guest." "He might have bought the kids." "I can't." "She's unconscious." "She was attacked with snooker cues in prison." "That's just great!" "Wait till she wakes up." " She might not." " Keep me posted." "One sec, Margot." "Hurry things up." "We can't interrogate Iris." "Margot, when is Preben being transferred to Copenhagen?" "That's the worst kind of bureaucracy." "Two children have been abducted." "Preben Nielsen worked at the camp they stayed at." "All I'm asking for is a bit of flexibility." "We've served the case up for you." "Which you could have mentioned on TV." "Well, I have to accept that." "Thanks and goodbye." "That media slut." " I shouldn't have mentioned TV." " No, you shouldn't." "What now?" "We have to go the official way." "Or you have to interview him." " Me?" " No, not you." "There's no one else." "I can't." "Let's see what happens." "Otherwise, I'll have to do it." "I'm going to visit Elin." "Michael, your part in the search of Preben's farm has been criticised." " By the commissioner?" " Yes." "You'll perform  other duties without public contact." "as per the commissioner." "They could protect me." "Frandsen!" "Why did you stab me in the back in front of him?" "We decided to keep him inside and you want him in Stockholm." "I'm on the SWAT selection committee." "We tell them to shoot to kill." "What question do they all ask?" "What if I shoot the wrong one?" "We promise to back them up." "But who gets their arses kicked?" "Never the boss." "I admired you for defending him." "I was wrong, Frandsen." "It isn't just about Michael." "We can't scuttle basic democracy because we think we're fighting evil." "It's torture not telling him." "It's been decided, right?" "Not officially." "It will cast a shadow over the rest of his life." "Where's that man?" "He'll be back." "We earn him heaps of money." " Hi." " You've been on the road, eh?" "I got two speeding tickets in Sweden." "Damned if I'm paying." " They'll find you regardless." " I'm sure." "Why are you here?" "I'd like to look at StreetChild of God." "We know the organisation is involved in paedophilia." "But how high up?" "You may not know him in Denmark." "He's an icon in Norway." "Please tread carefully." "May I talk to Denise Brinsley-White?" "I doubt it." "She's had a nervous breakdown." "Really?" "I talked to her a couple of hours ago." "No sign of it, then." " They must be protecting her." " Understandable." "Can I?" " If you're gentle with her, yes." " Of course." "Coming?" "Criminal Inspector Nils Hauge." "Sorry to interrupt." " We talked to the police." " My Danish colleague." "I'm investigating the murder of the Danish girl in Stockholm." "I have a few questions for Mrs Brinsley-White." "She knows something." "Is she so stupid she thinks she can fix this mess?" "She's not stupid." " St Paul is the same as our Paulus?" " Don't ask difficult questions." "Perhaps we should look in the Bible." "Do you have one?" "If the commissioner wins a medal or a cake tonight" "I'm going to moon them." " Don't get plastered." " I can't promise that." "It's too much when we haven't found the children." "That's why we're getting drunk." "I had to assert myself." "Preben Nielsen's landing tomorrow." "You're flying, Marie." "Now we're off duty." "You look great, girls." " Somebody's worked overtime." " Rosemary just shaved, she said." " Hope she didn't use my razor." " No." "Maybe my English is faulty." "The stairs reek of perfume." "It's not perfume, it's aftershave." " What's up with you two?" " Why aren't you with Iris?" "The doctors don't think she'll surface for a few days." "Honestly..." "I don't even feel sorry for her." "Did you find the children on the net?" "Yes." "I've searched for both Alex and Galina." "No mention." "but the material is enormous." "There are only 24 hours in a day." "When did we start?" " 8 a.m. yesterday." " Let's break." " Any beer?" " No, unfortunately." "I feel like a beer." "I don't want to be too optimistic but..." " Elin's count has dived." " I see." "Okay." " Is that good?" " Is it good?" "She was in the TV room entertaining the others." " The doctors are dumbfounded." " Great." "That's fantastic." "I'm taking it easy, but..." "What about Thea's red wine?" "If you want to get pissed go to the embassy." " Yes, why not?" "Are you coming?" " No." " I just feel like a beer." " Get some, then." " Michael, want some pizza?" " Of course." " Get a receipt." " Will do." "Check this out." "Dinner will be perfect." "Come along." "Have the chocolate for dessert." " I don't want to be a bother." " My wife loves it." "The kids will bring someone." "the father-in-law." "a brother and his wife too." "One more makes no difference." "I'll eat at the hotel." "I want to finish this." "Listen." "You'll be a dad soon." "You'll need a place to receive visitors." "You look terrible." "You know that?" "With your shitty job." "you need private space." "Somewhere you can hang your ugly pictures on the wall." "It's called self-preservation." "Yes, Frandsen?" " Michael's solved it." " What?" "Why StreetChild's money goes the wrong way." "Hauge's here." "I'll put you on speaker." "Western paedophiles travel to beaches in the East where they enjoy the company of little street children." " Hi, Michael." " Hi, boss." "Preben writes excitedly about one such trip..." ""Things are moving briskly at the Black Sea."" "He's writing to the German cop who shot himself." "Yes..." "But how does the money end up in Denmark?" "Listen." "Over there they apply a user-pays system." "The more perverse ones pay a heck of a lot more." "Payments are called donations to the organisation." "The money goes via the Danish head office and on from there." " To whom?" " Frandsen..." "They must have a financial genius." "The money's directed further on to some secret account on a tropical island or something." " What account?" " We haven't found it yet." " Can you mail the material here?" " Of course." " Great work." " No pizza, just a beer." " What did you say?" " Nothing." "We'll mail it to you." " Shall we have a chat with the pastor?" " On a Saturday night?" "He's having a symposium today with one bishop, two ministers and a member of the Danish government." "I don't care." "I do." "It's too big, we need lawyers." "They'll be awake on Monday." "Okay." "If the material is good, it won't go away." "So we'll start the weekend now." "Don't be surprised if I drive to Kraka tomorrow." "You do that." "It's a very beautiful drive." "Hi, Hallgrim." "Good morning." "Did you find out who has that secret account?" "We spoke late Saturday and what is it now?" "Sunday morning?" " I'm driving to Kraka." " Where?" "Christofferson's farm." "Ring when you've got something." "Thanks." "This is Villy Frandsen." "How did Elin sleep last night?" "Back to normal?" "What the hell do you mean?" "Explain to me how her count can go up again so quickly." "No." "No, let her sleep." "I'll be there in a couple of hours." "I think I know who has Alex and Galina." "Konrad Hansen." "Charged with possession and sale of child pornography." " Morning, Frandsen." " Why him?" "On 30 July, Preben and Iris had a guest in the camp." "Preben sent driving instructions to Konrad Hansen." "The route is from his home to the holiday camp." "And they expected him that night." " Where did you get this from?" " I checked Preben's mailbox." " Where's Konrad now?" " In remand." "He's had his hearing." " He's in Vestre Prison." " Okay, you drive." " No, you drive." " You're kidding." "Shall we get going with StreetChild's accounts?" " Is Pastor Christofferson involved?" " No, he floats over the waters." "Someone has had their hands deep in the accounts." "His life's work is collapsing." "Bloody hell, what a stench!" " This is really foul." " We're wasting our time." "The police have already..." "It's not him." "This one isn't lame." "Don't make any noise." "He might leave." "Nazim." " I'm so thirsty." " Hush!" "Alex, Galina!" "We've come to help you." "I'll go down." "I can see the kids." "Clear." "No, Galina, no." " Go away!" " Nazim, come up again." " Leave!" " We've come to help." "My sister is ill!" "Water, Galina." " Hello." " DCI Hallgrimsson, Denmark." "I don't have an appointment." "but could I see Pastor Christofferson?" "No." " Is Denise Brinsley-White here?" " Sorry." " When can I see Christofferson?" " They're both up in the mountains." " Where?" " They're at the cabin." "When the pastor goes to the mountains." "he wants to be alone." "I'll come back." " Are you here?" " Indeed I am." "I want to go home." "I long to go home." "Home?" "To you." "You can't." "Kiss me." " Yes?" " We've got an account name." "What?" "Say that again." "Terje Krogstad." "Director of StreetChild of God." " Not Christofferson?" " No." " Will you contact Hauge?" " It occurred to me." " Don't forget St Paul." " What?" "Paulus..." "They want to keep it internal." "You're welcome." "Paulus, my arse." " Did you tell him we found the kids?" " He'll find out." "What's with you?" "It's Elin." "Things have gone backwards." "To when everything was wrong." "Drop the knife." "Drop the knife." "Sissel!" "Sissel!" "We got a flat tyre in the mountains." "I'm worried about Denise." "She's so depressed." "Someone needs to get her." "But..." "Here's my beloved." "No more." "Are the boys coming?" "Emil..." "Yes." "Mum has passed away."
