"I had to leave Colombia." "They killed Álvaro." "I went to Cartagena to find one of the container ships." "They wanted $10.000 but they took all I had." " What happens now?" " I have no money."

" No one forced her to marry a terrorist." " Trade unionist." "Yes, exactly." " What did she want?" " She's in Copenhagen." " How did she get here?" " By ship." "Which ship?" " Which ship?" "From Cartagena?" " I don't know, Frederik." "Don't you have any brains at all?" " It's my girlfriend from Colombia." " A washerwoman." "No style..." " She just wants to borrow 10.000." " We can't." "Be kind to my little sister." "Okay." "If it will make you happy." " I'll go to her." " Stay here." " I haven't see her for two years." " She can come here." "She'll get the money and then get out." "I'll send some men for her." "Tell her to wait on the stairs of Customs House in half an hour." "Do you think she's lying?"

"He could have aimed at the mobile." "It's easy afterwards." "It's an unforgivable breach not to listen to your superior." "Well, I'd..." " I'd invite you in for a beer." " But?" " I've got this case to study." " It must be interesting." "I saw you reading it when Denisov was bragging." " Yes, he was happy." " About the bust in St Petersburg." " This is actually very interesting." " Okay." "In what way?" "Frederik Hall Jensen was convicted for drugs 20 years ago but he vanished." "Now he's back, filthy rich."

"Your case has become a burden for us." "So... we give in to the press?" "No, it's about trustworthiness." "I'm being asked how we can defend your actions." "I can't." " I might as well go now." " Not before you've seen Thea." " Personnel matters come under me." " Thea's your boss." "I'll be upstairs." "Good morning." "At a meeting in Paris." "the EU police commissioners decided to start a new Balkan project." "I was told." "And were you told of the flattering decision that it will be headed by a Dane?" "No." "You." "I'm happy where I am." "It's an A1 post." "Isn't it 140.000 tax-free per month?" " Armoured car, bodyguards..." " No, thank you." "You place me in an awkward position." "You've accepted on my behalf?" "Of course not." "There are many good police attorneys." "Not with your weight." "And they want you." "If you say no, Denmark will miss out on that powerful position." "You know the foreign minister's zeal for placing Danes in the front line in all matters." "It's the only way to gain influence." "But it's a bad metaphor." "Exactly." "That's what I'm talking about... influence." "I'll spend two months running it in but then I return to my unit." "Very well, it's a deal." "And who will act in your place while you're away?" "There's only one option." "Will it work?" "Doesn't she have something going with Hallgrimsson?" "Yes." " So?" " Makes it exciting." "Frederik von Halle." "aka Freddy Hall Jensen." "An envious neighbour reported him to the police for parking his big cars in his driveway." "Then the police unearthed a big spending pattern." "It seems he keeps society's growth engine going with an export business." "But it's fake." "It's most likely cocaine." "And the arguments for it being drugs?" " Villner." " Who?" "Martin Villner." "Three charges were dropped due to lack of evidence." " Evidence of what?" " Is this relevant?" "Where's Fie?" "We know he supplies cocaine to a lot of nightclubs and discos." "They're both paranoid." "They meet in secret." "circle the room and check the doors." "We can't prove cocaine is Halle's cash cow." "He's too wise to be near the drugs or the money." "Any suggestions?" "Put it in a drawer, lock it twice and throw away the key." " Are you serious?" " Something could happen." "Otherwise..." "It's a sick case, too heavy to lift." "And Hove is his lawyer." "Hove?" "He's got hundreds of lawyers to keep us chasing our tails." "After two years." "we'd have to shelve the case anyway." "Won't you come in with me?" "You're just confused." "Why don't we just drive home again?" "Darling, it's just because you can't choose." "Listen." "Do you want the ones with the diamonds or the ones with the blue sapphires?" "You know what?" "Get them both." "As a present from me." "Stay here a while." "I'll be back soon." "DUMPED IN A CONTAINER WHO IS SHE?" "How amateurish can you be?" "To dump her in a container for them to find her." "It's not easy to arrange things like that... at such short notice." " What else?" " The police impounded 20 kilos." "My people are in the discos." "If the Pakis get a foot in." "we're lost." "I can get you some Polish speed." "Do you think it's the 70s?" "I need cocaine." "Yes." " I'll do my best." " Not good enough."

"That's a profit of 35 million." "Halle won't say no to a credible deal." "How?" "We leak that there's a container with 400 kilos of coke." "When Antonov got busted." "the importer was stuck with the coke." "He's now willing to sell it to recoup his costs." "Who's the importer?" "He's Swedish." "Swedish?" "You said you had an agent on the inside in Stockholm." "Did I?" "It's taken us three years to get him there." "For 20 years, Halle's sold coke, speed." "heroin and ecstasy to our youth." " What, Ditte?" " Lock him up forever." "Is it your call or higher up?" "I can handle it." "And?" "We're in." "We might arrest him but it has to hold up in court." "We're in conflict with Section 7 54-A of the regulations about agents." " We're not aiding and abetting." " Yes, we are." " He doesn't have to buy." " How convenient." "Marie Wied." "Hello." " Fine, thank you." " What's our next step?" " My snitch knows Villner." " That's a surprise." "May I consider?" "When he collects." "we'll arrest him and your agent." "Thank you, then." "Thank you, Bye." "That was the justice minister." "Thea's off to Rome." "I'm the acting police commissioner." "Congratulations." "Off to the baker then to get some Danish pastry." " Thank you." " My word." "What's Thea doing?" " Kicking off the new Balkan project." " I see." " When does she leave?" " It takes effect immediately." "I've made up my mind." "Lacking a better plan." "we'll shelve von Halle." "Okay." "Got a better idea?" "This won't stand up in court." "It's fine." "If you say so." "If you're not happy you can just leave." "Yes." "I had nothing to do with it." "She was gone when they arrived." "What would happen to your sister, brother-in-law." "us and your parents if she told the police about Colombia?" "She'd never do that." "You didn't know her." "10.000 now, next time 50.000." "Then a million." "She would have gone on." "Darling..." "Hold me." "Damn it, darling." "Hold me." "Damn it." "Hold me." "Frederik, don't." "If you leave me..." "I'll find you and then I'll kill you." "She's something else." ""Don't disturb me, I'm doing maths."" "I've been trying to get her all morning." "Now you know where she is." "I could well be the youngest police commissioner in Denmark." "It's only for two months." "Thanks, Stræde." "Bye." "We're having lunch with Denisov." "Coming?" "My health can't take vodka and caviar." "When will you be back?" "I've found another case which may be a precedent." "Don't involve me in the stages." "Just give me your final decision." "I think I know who the woman in the container is." "María Isidora." "This is Suzanne von Halle's phone yesterday." "My Spanish isn't great but I get the gist." "Listen." "Frederik s men will fetch you." "We can meet this afternoon." " Does your husband know I m here?" " Yes, he wants to see you." "But promise not to say" "I mentioned anything about the Cartagena-Copenhagen route." "Then they agree to meet at Customs House before they say goodbye." "I have no Spanish." "What was it about?" "Frederik von Halle sent two men." "not to pick María up, but to kill her." "We can't prove it." "Shall we go?" "Run the case, damn it." "What?" "Run the case." " Why the smirk?" "Aren't you leaving?" " Yes." "Get the seized 20 kilos of coke." "Test it." "It should go orange." " What's the name of your agent?" " He uses the name Patrik Ingmarsson." " What?" " Patrik Ingmarsson." "Can you get a container with a false wall?" "Conceal the coke in the upper left corner at the back." "Put the container on the wharf." "under observation." " Okay." " We're off to Stockholm." " Now?" " I just have to pack." " What about lunch?" " Drink a vodka at the airport." "Doesn't Halle have to take the bait first?" "He will." "Bye." "Hi." " Please turn it off." " Why?" " Where are you going?" " On a trip." "It's work." "Why?" "What?" "Why work?" "Some of us have to." "You're catching a crook." "Then another one and another one..." "What else would I do?" "In Colombia..." "Have you been there?" "In Colombia between 80 and 100 people are killed every day." "So that's what you're doing." " You're saving Colombia." " No." "I'll see you." "I've been... waiting for you." "I have to catch a flight." "I got a phone call." " We'll miss the flight." " No, we won't." "You'll have to drive by the rules of the gods." "I intend to." "Aren't you going to wave goodbye to your phone?" " How are things, Grandpa?" " So-so." "How's your daughter?" "She's in rehab in Norway." "I don't think she can cope." "What do you want?" " There's a rumour." " Only one?" "Yes." "Patrik Ingmarsson." "He's from Stockholm." "Know him?" "Nope." "We don't either." "He's stuck with 400 kilos of snow here in Copenhagen." "On its way to St Petersburg." "Yes, it's gone to rack and ruin over there." "Where is it?" "I'm asking you that." "What's in it for me?" "Let me see. 400 kilos." "Quite a load." "The commissioner will love you after his TV appearances." " We could cancel your tax debt." " What debt?" "I'm a pensioner." "I know, you idiot." "Give me a ticket to Norway." "This little mite is tired of Grandpa playing Mum." "It's a deal, Scotty." "We'd agreed she was staying with you." "When she changed it." "why didn't you check?" " She'd just abuse me." " Are you scared of her?" " All her girlfriends go to discos." " I didn't forbid her to go." "I just don't want her to go to Lime." "I checked all their toilets." "On every seat they'd been sniffing coke." "She only had a cola." "Yes, that's where she went." "She's at our place now." "Bonnie says she's better." " Better?" " She's asleep." "What happened, Jens?" "She can't remember." "Someone spiked her drink." "She woke up outside the disco." " No, no." " Yes." "Did you report it?" " I was told only now." " Damn it, Jens!" " We'd better get her examined." " Yes, we should!" "I'll pick her up." "Tell her not to shower or go to the toilet." "She mustn't brush her teeth or clean her nails." "Jens, that cocaine has to be placed in the upper left corner at the back." " You already told me." " Yes." "Hi." "Hi, there." "You'd better be ready when she grows up." "If this girl can't make my daughter clean, what can?" "You left drugs lying around when she was growing up." "You're so charming." "Anyway, what's up?" "Patrik Ingmarsson, Stockholm." "Know him?" "Yes." "It's a big batch." "I want one kilo for myself." "There's a lot of it." "if you get my drift." "How much?" "400." "I think she's getting tired." "Why don't you buy... a harness so she doesn't fall out." "Thanks, Villner." " Are you the only ones?" " No, we're here, and there." "It's under control." "Hi, Bonnie." "It's me, darling." "I've called a hundred times." "Don't panic, but Ditte is taking Fie Mouse to be examined." "No, it's not traumatic." "Has she showered?" "No, don't touch anything." "Leave it as it is." "Fine." "Bye." " Patrik Ingmarsson?" " Yes." "Blond hair." "He was on Kalle's Caribbean cruise." "I'm lost." "A Swede, stinking rich, poofter." "wrapped in gold." "Oh yes, him." "I don't like him." "Can he handle something that big?" "He must be at the top to join Kalle in the Caribbean." "What worries me is... why he isn't bringing it to Stockholm where the price is higher." "It's the logistics." "If the papers went to St Petersburg." "it's too risky to change it." "It's worth nothing lying here." "We could get it at cost price." " What do we do with Scotty?" " Fuck Scotty." "Sorry." "Hi, Frida." "I was about to call you." "I'm in Stockholm." "Are you in Copenhagen?" "No, that's okay." "Are you staying over?" "You should have told me." "I could have left a key for you." "You can?" "Fine." "That's great." "I miss you too." "Me too." "Bye." " An extra key?" " Shut up." "What you need is an emergency exit." " Yes?" " Is this Patrik?" "It's Villner from Denmark." "Do you remember me?" "No." "We met at the trade fair in the Caribbean in January." "I believe you've got a batch of white shirts for sale." " Not any more." " I see." "Too bad." "Naturally, it depends on what you can offer." "We'll be able to work something out." "My boss is on his way to Stockholm." "Can you meet him tomorrow?" "Yes, well, I'm not sure." " If so, early tomorrow morning." " Yes." "I don't have his calendar." "Can I send you an SMS?" " Okay, that's fine." " It's a deal, then." "Bye." "Are you happy now, darling?" "Who'd have thought a raging fag would have a black belt?" "Marie, I want to take Hallgrim at his word and transfer out of here." "Your request is denied." "We need you here." "It's not working." "Don't expect every day to be fun." "I was joking about the Danish pastry." "Is Halle on his way to Stockholm?" "Where's Ditte?" "Her mobile's turned off." "I didn't think she'd ever do that." "Bye." "Couldn't we wait, Mum?" "We have to do this." "GYNAECOLOGY" "I'm the doctor, Yvonne." "and Ellen is the nurse." "Come with me, Sofie." "Your mother will wait here." " I talked to you?" " Yes." " I've separated her things." " Good." "Her cowboy pants." "Her top." "Her bra." "Her undies." "There's some secretion." "Yes." "The way you described it." "it sounds like a new drug." " It's scary." "GHB." " Liquid Fantasy?" "It's tasteless." "You can stand up but you lose your memory." "The worst thing is you become very promiscuous." "This is Jens, Sofie's dad." "We have to give her emergency prophylactic treatment and antibiotics for venereal diseases." "There are some nasty." "bloody scratches." "so she's had an HIV vaccine." "I'm sorry, but..." "there was more than one." "It's not the first time it's happened at that disco." "Young guys on coke who go... completely berserk." "Thank you." "Jens!" "I'd like to see Sofie." " Morning." " You're up early." "The meeting's in an hour but Halle's been up since 8." "He notices everything." "Your boys have got their work cut out for them." "It'll do them good." "There's Patrik." " Just a straight espresso." " Espresso." "We may shift the action ahead an hour." "We're ready at the container and the house in Hornbæk." "It's on." "Please move." " Where was it shipped from?" " La Guaira in Venezuela." "And what did you have in mind?" "20 mill." "Yes, I know it's cheap." "You can't get rid of the shit." " That's four times too much." " You're crazy." "What did you pay for it in Peru?" "$1000 a kilo?" " A bit more." " Let's say a bit more." "And your expenses for transport and security..." "Shall we say 500.000?" "Okay." "One million euros." "700.000 euros." " Okay." "In cash." " Of course." " He's quite good." " He's Swedish." "When I get the money I'll tell you where it is." "No." "You'll tell me where it is now." "My man will check if it's there and then you get paid." "Okay." "That's cool." "I've got your address." "You'll get paid ten minutes after I've checked the drugs." "Did you get that." "Karlsson?" "How do I know you won't cheat me?" "I'm not like that." "Do we have a deal?" "Copenhagen Harbour." "Section G, Row 11." "Number 5, top left corner." "My pleasure." "Hi, Villner." "Nice car you've got there." " What?" " Take 300.000 out." " I got the idiot down to 700.000." " My pay rise?" " Did I just give you a car?" " Yes." "And haven't you got a job to do?" "Good morning." "It's the garbage man." "There's something for you and your guy." "Don't knock if you don't want to come in." "Okay." "Let's go." "Police!" "Police!" "Tina!" "Tina!" "The trap's baited with free cheese." " That went well." " Yes." "See you." "Where were you, Ditte?" "Hi, Jens." "Is she still asleep?" "Tell her I'll be home in ten." "What's happening?" "Your phone's been off since yesterday." "What are you looking for?" "I'm after three DNA profiles." "There's no match on that one." "And... not on that one either." "And..." "Simon Zahle..." " The hip-hopper?" " Yes." "What has he done?" "I'm off." "Damn!" "Are you all right?" "Are you okay?" "Can we have an ambulance to Pontus Street?" " What are you doing?" " Don't move!" " Hello, it's Estrid." " It's me." "I'm in Stockholm." " I'm in deep shit." " Take it easy now." "I'll fix it, okay?"
