"The prisoners were transported through the city in peak hour." "The transport was attacked." "Bosco is free." "He has a seven-year-old girl with a heart defect." "Without a transplant she has only a few years to live." "She has a rare blood type so a donor is hard to find." "She's got Russian cheekbones and scars down to her pubic bone." "We think she had her kidneys removed on a Russian coaster owned by Kolya Radomsky." "I've just seen Anthony Canino and Kolya Radomsky." " In the Blue Lagoon?" " You knew?" "Canino came yesterday." "Radomsky today." "Something big is going down." "It starts when Canino's Colombian lover leaves the bath." " Radomsky." "Have you got him covered?" " I'm pretty sure we do." "This is who he's meeting." "Bosco?" " Bosco and Radomsky have a pact." " What?" "The jamming device for a child's heart." "The break-in at Gentech." "Bosco wants a heart for his daughter." "Call them and ask what the thieves were after." "The mother left with Sif this morning." "The neighbour doesn't know where." "They can't find Sif." "Grandad, tell me the story of the golden castle." "It's on the other side of the ocean." "but to get there you have to get past a gigantic dog with six heads and three sets of teeth in each mouth." "A killer dog." "He jumps on everything that moves and colours the ocean red with human blood." "But on the other side of that cliff is an ugly, gigantic witch who drinks up the entire ocean." " And spews it out again." " Yes." "If we survive all that." "then we're safe because a tidal wave washes us ashore." "And then, all the lost souls come out of the fog." "They glide towards us and they reach out for us..." "He reckons they're on the rocks at Hraunsvík." "Eggert, look at this." "To the cars, right now!" "You stay with the body." " Can't you get closer?" " Sure." "Ditte and I are off to Kaliningrad." "Radomsky's coaster." "where the whore..." "Nadesja... had her kidney removed." "is in Kaliningrad." "The Russians will search it." " Impressive." " They want us there." "Great." " Want to bet it's Hallgrim?" " I've contributed enough to your keep." "Hallgrim." "If Bosco's girl is waiting on a heart." "her mum must have a pager." " In case a donor comes along." " Of course." "Call Berlin or whoever got her that pager." " What's going on?" " They've abducted a girl." "Sif." "And killed her grandpa." " They?" " Canino and Bosco are in Iceland." "And Radomsky too." "I'll call you later." "They've got Sif." "She's all right." "THE EAGLE a crime odyssey" "I think the perpetrator is Lebedev." "Radomsky's deputy." "Wait..." "Here he is." "Alexander Lebedev." "Born 1971." "I questioned him in Vilnius in 1993." "That was about organ donations." "He was a good-looking officer who traded women to the West." "Great." "His meteoric rise with Radomsky began last year." " What sort of man is he?" " Like you." " What do you mean?" " Women..." " Why do you think it's him?" " I'm not sure I do." "But just before the murder." "Lebedev gives his tail the slip." "I know he'd be brutal enough." "He got a lot of medals in Chechnya." "Just a sec." "There's an email from Berlin about Bosco's wife." "A German hospital says they issued a pager." "They want a warrant before giving us the number." " Enjoy your holiday." " Thanks." "Hallgrim..." "Weren't we having lunch together?" "I'll be back in half an hour." "Hi." "Thanks for yesterday." "Linda Hjortsøe, Danish journalist." "This is my sister." "Whose name is..." "Johanna Hallgrimsdóttir." " Hi." " I'll hurry." " Were you having lunch with him too?" " Yes." "Take it easy, Jens." "Of course you're welcome to come with us to Kaliningrad." "I've talked to Fie and Mum." "She'll stay off the bottle and check on the kids." "Frandsen?" "Because he's a DCI and the Russians don't respect people in white rompers." "Fine, Jens." "Bye." "Men!" "I don't know if the US has nuclear weapons in Iceland." "Yes, you do." "I know the CIA is angry about that jamming gear being close to the American and Russian mafia." " I can't get any sound out of it." " Is it connected at the back?" "Yes." "I'm not an idiot." "Have you found a replacement for Michael?" "No." " I've got a fellow." "He's cocky, but good." " Well, then..." "I don't like the idea of him being around you." "Are you and Ann-Britt having a big wedding?" " No, it will be private." " What's she doing afterwards?" " She can't stay on with you." " I have plans." "I'm applying for Thea's job when she leaves." " You'd do that?" " What was it you said?" "Why is it always the women who have to shift?" " Thanks for your help." " A pleasure." " Maybe I should see Lebedev's picture." " Why not just take over Eggert's job?" " I didn't mean it like that." " Seriously." "It's an offer." "Eggert retires in six months." "Isn't it time to come home?" "What's this?" "We were in Scotland together." "Why?" "Why didn't you contact me?" "I had to get released first." "They're impatient to see you." "I've been preparing this for three months." "And you've ruined my plans in one morning." " You'll get another opportunity." " No, my daughter can't wait." "It's up to you, or to God." "Get me some money." " Milan Načuk has frozen my accounts." " That's your problem." "No, it's yours too if you want to do a deal." "Then look under your pillow tonight." "Perhaps the tooth fairy will have dropped by." " Hallgrim?" " Yes." "I'm Hallgrim Eigilsson." "I'm sorry." "I was mistaken." "Everything's fine." "Where are you from?" "Hamburg." "I signed on to the Scottish trawler." "Thank you." "Stop it." "I've never heard anything so daft." " She was going to Brussels." " For a meeting." "Sure, but she'd also booked a hotel room in Elsinore." " Why did she send you out?" " They had state secrets." "Or whatever." "Frandsen, it never stops." "Everybody wants sex." " Hi, Ditte." " Hi, Jens." " You're coming along?" " Didn't Ditte say?" "Perhaps she did." " What's so funny?" " Nothing." " Something's amusing you." " Yes, but it's hard to explain." "You're not very fond of them." "The Americans." "Bosco must be brought to account in Denmark." "Not disappear in a secret CIA prison." "Are we agreed?" "Yes." "But we don't know if he's in Iceland." "If the Americans find him before us we'll never know." "Yes?" "All right." "Thanks." "Radomsky and Canino." "It looks like they will meet." "They meet every day at 3." " What about?" " We're too far away." "But we know something those two don't." "Canino's Colombian girlfriend is having it off with Lebedev." "When Canino finds out he's a cuckold..." "He's very keen on her." "And she's a very beautiful woman." "Bye." "Any message for Hallgrim Hallgrimsson?" "Yes, it's from your sister saying they've gone shopping." " Together?" " Yes." "There's a table for three reserved for tonight." " For three?" " Yes." "Canino and fiancée leaving the church." "It looks like a dress rehearsal." "It's like... the main event is done." " Meaning?" " The wedding." "Hang on, something's happening." "Radomsky is approaching the church." "It's business as usual." "There's American mafioso Canino and his adviser." "And the Russian Radomsky." " There's the lover." " Who?" "Lebedev." "Radomsky sends his greetings." "They're going into the fields." "The meeting's over." "In anger." "Good." "Now hopefully they'll go home." " I'm sorry." " Hi." "Well, Hallgrim." " Yes?" " Am I interrupting?" " No." " Berlin has found Bosco's wife." "She's in a private clinic with the daughter." "BKA has been listening in." "Bosco is still in Iceland." " Is Iceland informed?" " Yes." " Thanks, Marie." " You're welcome." "Is it okay if we start?" "Weren't you going to Brussels?" "Yes... yes." "Did you know that Stræde is going to apply for your job?" " No." " I won't have a chance, then." "How can you be so intelligent and so self-effacing at the same time?" "Step up to the plate." "If you lose, there's a top job for you in Intelligence." "Right?" " Frandsen." " Are you searching?" " The ship isn't here yet." " I see." "It's still in international waters." "The search has been leaked." "The Russians took aerial shots." "They're busy on board." "All Ditte will find tomorrow is traces of Ajax or whatever." "How stupid to think we could catch Radomsky." "You should have known." "What am I doing here?" "You suggested going." "I just wanted to tell you the good news." "And I didn't get my allowance!" " My word!" " What?" "Switch on the TV." "The minister was killed by a car bomb." "It exploded as he was on his way to the airport in Belgrade." "Milan Načuk was known for his stand against the Serbian mafia." "They are suspected of being behind the murder." "Milan Načuk was recently in Copenhagen for discussions on cross-border crime." "Thanks for calling me." "That was a quick payback." "Milan closes Bosco's accounts..." "and bye-bye." "Poor Thea." "She can't take her sorrow home or to the department." "I thought she was really fond of Ib." "You can't control it." "Falling in love." "Sometimes... you meet a person who sneaks up on you." "With luck, the other person feels the same way." "We can only hope they had some good times." " What?" " You're the talkative one tonight." " And I'm the quiet one." " Go on doing that." "Jens?" " You didn't answer your phone." " No." "Fie called." "It's funny." "I always thought you left me for Hallgrim." "But it was worse." "There was no one else." "Your wife might leave for another man but when there's no one." "it means she doesn't want you." "That's okay." "It really is." "Now I can see it was you all the time." "Good night." "Sleep well." "Is that true?" "Frandsen..." "If the Germans can tap his wife's mobile they must be able to trace the tower." "Bosco called from here in Iceland." "Then fax the number so we can trace the tower ourselves." "Have you heard from Milan Načuk?" "Could he do something to speed things up a bit?" "Thanks." "I think Dad's getting old." "He keeps repeating himself." "But he's looking forward to seeing you." "Don't you have a photo of your daughter?" "Yes." "Oh, how lovely!" "She's so sweet..." " Does she look like her mother?" " She looks like me." "It's a dreadful story about your old girlfriend." "I was the one who let it slip that Isbjörg was killed in Chicago." "Because we passed her parents' house." "Is that the story you're talking about?" "What happened after I left?" "Isbjörg wanted that child." "She was only 16." "Everybody told her not to have it." "They all thought it was Eigilsson's." "But she insisted it was yours." "She grew bigger." "One day... she threw herself off the cliffs." "She survived, but the baby didn't." "Why not tell me this before?" "Because of Mum." "Don't pester Hallgrim with this." "She wouldn't even tell Isbjörg where you were." "Don't pester Hallgrim with this." "She wouldn't even tell Isbjörg where I was." "You asked why I don't come here often." "Johanna..." " Not again!" "I don't believe it." " Hallgrim..." "Yes?" "Sif identified Lebedev from photos." "We're doing DNA tests." " Do you want to come?" " Yes." "Do you think you can talk to the dead?" " Granny says she does." " What do you think?" "I think it's nonsense." "One talks to oneself." "Precisely." "It was me who set the bloodbath in motion." "Leave it be." " That's logical." " Yes." "Admit it, you are like that." "The mafia is disgusting and deserves no better." " It doesn't seem right." " No, not in your world." "Not that." "If Nazim was a part of me, how can I tell myself something I don't know?" "That Canino had a Colombian girlfriend and so on." " Leave it alone." " Yes." "Why did you come to Reykjavik yesterday?" "I wanted to fetch you." "You didn't think I'd travel the last bit?" "No." " Hi there." " Hello." " Congratulations." " Thanks." "On your little daughter too." "At last I'm a grandfather." " You'd love her." " I've seen your little Gudrun." " You have?" " Yes." "I called Frida and she sent me lots of photos of Gudrun." "She sent them with an M..." "MMS." "I think it's called." "There she is." "There's the proud mother." "And there's Gudrun." "Hello?" "They've found a donor." "That's great." "That's really great." "We were supposed to fly to Berlin." "Supposed to?" "What is it, Michelle?" "She's got a temperature." "39.5°." "They won't operate." "It was our last chance." "Michelle... there's always hope." "Always a chance." "Can't you come home?" "We'd be allowed to visit you." "Why are you breathing so heavily?" "Is your heart hurting again?" "You promised not to lie." "Don't call me on this number again." "I love you." "I hope you're hungry." "Granny's cooked puffin." "Really?" " Gunnar is coming." " That will be cosy." "Hallgrim..." "Would you like to see where your mother is buried?" " Yes." " Come on." "I'll take your bag." "I'll go in and help Granny." "Yes?" " Today's Hallgrim's birthday..." " Hi, Ditte." "Hi, Hallgrim." "He's sure to get a present." "Congratulations." " Are you still in Kaliningrad?" " No, Frandsen and I are home." " Is he close by?" " Absolutely." " Can I have him?" " I'm not sure." "All right, then." "Bye." " Congratulations." " She's on a high, eh?" "Yes." "Effective work with Canino and Radomsky." " And Bosco?" " I don't know." "We're not privy to the German monitoring." "I called Stræde to find out but he isn't calling me back." "Figures." "The American embassy told me that they want Bosco." " Berlin communicates with them?" " It looks like it." "Enjoy your birthday." " It's a lost cause." " Yes." "Bye." "Ditte..." " About what happened..." " Yes?" "Shouldn't we call it a night in Kaliningrad?" " Do you mean that?" " No." " But we'll lie low, right?" " Yes." "Are you afraid that I'll sit on your knee and kiss you?" "No." "It might be the other way around." "Did you see this?" "Why print that photo?" "With the burnt-out car and his shoes?" "I was actually referring to Hallgrim's birthday interview." "Oh, yes." " Good morning." " Good morning and welcome back." "Frustrating, eh?" "A waste of time." "I wouldn't say that." "It says Hallgrim is having a reception here." " I told the paper it's wrong." " What now?" "We'll lock up and put a sign on the door saying "Back soon"." "We should hide?" "Well." "Here it is." " Where are you going to lie?" " Well..." "I tried to dig myself in." "but it was no good." "No." "The next time I could be spread over the ocean." "Yes." "Is the ocean big enough?" "It's beautifully peaceful here." "Well, it didn't last long." "I saw you arrive." "I was expecting you earlier." "Help me." "Why do you trust me?" "You can have the jamming device if you take me back to Europe." "To stand trial?" "You see." "I've killed a CIA agent." "You've done what?" "You heard." "Switch your GPS on." "Got you." " Dad, I have to take care of this." " The food won't fly away." "Will you help?" " How?" " Get hold of the sheriff." "Baldur?" " Tell him to send a car to Eidisvegur." " Via SMS?" "No, call him." "Talk to him, Eidisvegur." "I've changed my mind." "Can't I help?" "It was your idea." "What?" "You said there were girls in Iceland with the same rare blood type as my daughter." "I never said that." "Think back to Scotland." "You were talking about gene technology." "It's my daughter's last chance." "I can't get it out of my head." "What a lousy present for your daughter!" "Just think..." "She'd have to live with that." "The local sheriff is outside." "Will you come back with me or shall I hand you over to the Yanks?" "Come on." "Thank you." "Goodbye." "Frandsen." "It's me." "Bosco Marcovic has been arrested." " That's bloody great." " What's that noise in the background?" "It's... your guests." " My what?" " Have a look." "Hi, Hallgrim." "Ladies and gentlemen..." "Hallgrim's celebrating with his family in the Westmann Islands." "We'd like to toast him by sending our best wishes." "Long live Hallgrim." "Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah!" "Oh, shut up." "Hi." " Thanks for the trip." " You're welcome."
