"Bless you." "Can I offer you a drink?" "Yes." "You just spoke to your wife?" "No, that wasn't my wife." "Right, I spoke to my wife too." "Cheers." "Finn!" "Finn!" "Just wanted to say goodbye."

" IP." " Okay." " Did you get some good shots?" " Yes, loads." " How's Lyon?" " We're in Berlin." "You're in Berlin?" "Of course, I knew that." "Ask Trine to call me when she can." " Who's calling?"

" She had to take a shower." " How strange, at that hour." "She showers three times a day." "She should have been a fish." "She must love fish a lot to get up so early every morning." "Or are you the real attraction?" "Are you, Finn?" "I don't follow you." "What we don't get is... when you were told Jette was dead, you said..." " I quote, "That insane idiot."" " Did I?" " Who's the insane idiot?" " Listen to me..." "I've known Jette since 9th grade." "Of course I was very upset." " That's a long time." " Yes." "It would be almost impossible to get divorced." " I've nothing more to say." " Don't leave town, Finn." "You're right." "They take 90 minutes to drive 40 kilometres." "Why?" "Did they kill the wife?" "Or did they stop off to have sex?" "At 6 a." "M?" "Some get the urge no matter what the time." "Hence the younger model." " But will it last?" " It's irrelevant." "Let's assume Finn and Miriam are having an affair."

"Time to change shifts." " Has he talked to anyone?" " No." " There's something he has to do." " What do you mean?" " Finn has something he must do." " What's that?" "I don't know." "But it's not pleasant." "Did he say anything or is it a feeling?" "It's just something I sense." " Finn speaking." " Finn, what's going on?" " What do you mean?" " You're acting very strange." "What?" "You sneak in and put a fish head in my bed." " Is it a sick joke?" " I'm here doing the books." " You've just been in my flat." " No." "But you've just been here." "No!" " Call the police." " Miriam, I'm coming over now." "What was that all about?" "Finn speaking." "I forgot one thing." "Wait five hours before moving the chair." "I've bloody had it with you." "Did your girlfriend like the present?" "Remember you owe me a favour, Finn." "Reeber you owe e a favour, Finn." "Which came first?" "The film or the crime?" "Did the film inspire the criminal or the criminal, the film?" "In Danish, please?" "Strangers On A Train." "Is that it?" " What?" " An old Hitchcock film." " Where two men swap murders." " Yes, okay." "The crime that can't be solved." "Reckon they've watched it?" "That's possible." "Yes." "A film?" "Get real!" " Maybe if you'd let me explain." " Yes, but it's late..."

"It's a perfect crime." "Let's assume that's what will happen." " What do we do?" " Arrest Finn." "For something he hasn't done?" "For complicity in murder." "You'll need a very generous judge." "Sure." "Let's hold him for 24 hours." "We'll take turns." "He'll break." "They don't know who called Finn." "It was a prepaid mobile." "What do we do?" "What about the girlfriend?" "Why not talk to her?" " She knows nothing." "Right?" " So it seems." "Let's track him around the clock." "That's what we'll do." "If you're right, Finn will lead us to Jette's killer." "And now let's go home." "It's 1 a.m." "We'll never nail him in 24 hours." "There isn't..." "Fine, fine." "A shame about the customers, isn't it?" "You should go." "I told you I'm going to Sweden." "But I didn't tell you why." "To see a friend who'll lend to me." "And it's no problem." " Lf... if Putte..." " Leave." "Finn, I'll give you half." "This shop is going down." "Nobody goes to a shop where the wife got killed." "What about Miriam and you?" "Will people accept that in a town like this?" "Finn... try something new." "Spread your wings." "Start over." "Abroad." "Paris." "Fine." "I think I'll have..." "two tuna steaks." "Big ones..." "Fischer thinks it's a film." "So the guy's under constant watch." "To and from the fish auction." "And all day at the shop." "All we've found out is what people eat for supper." "I'm barbecuing fish on the boat." " If you're up for it?" " We've had it with fish for now." "Hi." "Some boys found this." "Okay." "That's for LaCour." "Thank you." " Same as the murder weapon." " Yes, it is." "I'll check it out." " You don't want a fish dish?" " I won't say no to a real dish." " Gaby!" " Yes." "The phone's engaged." "Could he be emailing?" "Yes, it could be an email." "Find out who it is." "I iss you." "It's just Miriam." "I iss you too." "Yes." "Something's happening." "Get the others." "He's going to the cemetery." "Show me where it is." "Here." "It's where his wife is buried." " I miss you too, baby." " Finn, where are you?" "I'm off to catch some eel." "Don't you think you should come to see me instead?" "It's going to be beautiful." " A very beautiful night." " I miss you, Finn." "I love you." "Do you know that I love you?" "He's heading for the harbour." "Remember, I love you." "Then get a boat, for God's sake." "How stupid can you get?" "He's leaving the harbour." "They didn't know he had a boat?" "Is Boysen on his boat?" " It's a yacht." " He might know someone." "Where do you catch eel?" "All the way down here, around the bay and up there." "Easy." " He's not fishing." " What should we do?" "Call in the navy?" "Choppers?" "The NATO fleet?" "On what basis?" "A theory from a film?" " What do you think?" " Wait till he gets back." "No answer." "So I'll try to get a boat." "If I'm allowed." "Hi." " What are you up to now?" " Nothing really." "Want to see Vordingborg by night?" " Sounds pretty dull." " That depends." "Gaby, what about that work we have to do?" "We've got some work to do." "Well..." "Looks like we've got work to do." " Another time maybe?" " Who knows?" " Bye." " Bye." "What?" " What work is that?" " I helped you get rid of him." " I thought he was cute." " You're getting married." "That's right, so what?" "Hey..." "Sorry!" "A glass of wine?" " No, I've got work to do." " All right, all right..." "Come in." "Hi." "I wanted to take a look at your foot." "At my foot?" "You've been hobbling around for a fortnight." "Yes." "What a neat elastic bandage." "Did your doctor put that on?" "They don't usually do that with a sprain." " Does this hurt?" " Yes." "It's not a sprain." "It needs an X-ray." " You're not serious." " I am a sort of doctor." "Hi, Fischer." "What do you mean, there's no boat?" "No, that's not what I think." "Can we discuss it tomorrow?" "Bye." "So that was Fischer." "The surveillance group lost Finn." "They hadn't considered he might take a boat." "Why would a man who sells fish all day, go off to catch eel?" "Why would a woman in Homicide... never talk about anything else?" " You think I'm terrible, right?" " Yes." "You think I'm really dreadful." "Yes." "You think I'm a cold bitch." "Hi." "Coming to the fish market?" "Don't you think you should lie down?" "No." "Do you want to come?" "I don't know..." "It's because I forget." "I know I have to call." "That's not strange." "I'll do that." "Okay." "Bye, darling." "When I was born my father left us." "And I've done the same thing." "And now I'm afraid it's going to happen again." "Well, that's up to you, isn't it?" "Is it?" "LaCour speaking." "Yes, hello." " Who was it?" " It was Schultz..." "From the local force." "They've found a dead woman in a sauna." "Good morning." "Morning briefing, Vordingborg 08.07, Thursday August 30" " Did something happen?" " No." "It suits you." " What?" " Being late." "Stop it." "Seven minutes." "Any news of Finn?" "He brought his catch back this morning." "Then he saw Miriam." "She didn't go to the fish auction." "But he did, and now he's back at the shop." " Where's LaCour?" " In Gyldenbjerg." "He went with Boysen..." "to look into a death." "A woman in a sauna." "He's with Jan?" " Is that Gyldenbjerg?" " Yes." " Who's the woman?" " Putte Bech Lorentzen." "The Bech Lorentzens with all the money." " What do we know about her?" " Nothing yet." " Did Finn sail over there?" " We were discussing that." "Hello." " LaCour." " Hello." " Hi." " This job's so amateurish." " How so?" " Splinters under her nails." "There's no doubt she fought to get out." "She's bruised under her arms and legs, so she's been moved." "LaCour's found the chair that was used to block the door." "Very intelligent." "Yes." "He had sense enough to wear gloves." "Anything else, Jan?" "What did you have in mind?" "What happened yesterday..." "We shouldn't take it too seriously." "Bye." "Putte Beck Lorentzen." "Worth 80 million." "Married to Bertram." "He took her surname and is her sole heir." "What does he do?" "He's a horse breeder." "But his stables went bankrupt." " Has a bad credit history." " Tough when your wife's loaded." " Where is he?" " In Stockholm..." "He's been informed and is arriving here tonight." "Let's see if the two are connected." "Bring him in." " Let's wait for him to arrive." " Why?" "See if he leads us to Finn." " Tail him?" " You two go to the airport." "It was me who killed her." " That's not true." " Yes, it is." "You didn't kill Jette." "We were together at the time." "You know we were." "She never harmed me." "And then I killed her." "Lie down for a while." "I don't want to lose you." "I don't want to lose you either." "He promised me 2.5 million." " What?" " He killed Jette." "Who?" "Then he wanted... me to kill his wife." "Or else he'd kill you." "What is happening?" "Did you kill her because of me?" "He wouldn't let me go." "So I did it." "I'm coming with you." "Do you mean that?" "Yes." "I love you." "I love you too." "I know that." "IP!" " Welcome back, baby." " Are you here to arrest me?" "How did you know?" "You phoned the paper?" "No." "I've got us a great holiday." "A chateau." "Near Lyon." "I'll just write a few lines." "Sounds great." "Let's talk later." "Actually I'm working." " Eh?" " Yes." " You're not meeting me?" " No." "There's a call from Finn's mobile." " Hello." " Finn here." " Finn?" " Yes, damn it..." " Sorry, wrong number." " Are you trying to cheat me?" "If you do, I'll call the police." " Are you right behind him?" " Yes, I am." " Was he on the phone?" " Yes." "He's making another call." " Yes?" " Finn." "I'm not trying to cheat you." " It's not smart, us meeting." " Nor was giving me your key." " Maybe you stole it." " A customer saw everything." " I'll call back." " Yes." " I want my money." " You'll get your bloody money." "Well..." "The cartridge cases I found in Bertram's garden match the murder weapon." "That's where he practised." "He's pretty fearless." " Yes?" " Bertram speaking." "I'm on my way to Vordingborg." "Do you know the warehouse at the docks?" "Let's meet there." "I'll be there in an hour." "It's there." "We'll need back-up." "I'll call Krogager." "We've lost Bertram." "He accelerated." "They're trying to catch up but it's hard." "Tell them to wait at the harbour." "Where is he?" "Where the hell is he?" "I need the money, then we're off." "He should be here." "Something's wrong." "Yes..." "Bertram isn't there." "It's actually pretty here." "I fished a lot here as a boy." "On a good day I'd catch a bucketful in 20 minutes." "Pull over in front of Gate 3 now!" " Why?" " He's going to run them over." "If I do that, I'll ruin everything." "Do as I say!" "Drive to the gate!" " Sure?" " Absolutely." "Go!" "Well done." " Thanks." " Yes, damn it." "When will you put it to good use?" "And give me the lottery numbers?" " Are you cross?" " A bit." "That's good." "Hi, Jan!" "Jan!"
