"Kemal had a helper." "The witness changed his mind." " Where can I find Mustafa Akkad?" " He rents out garages." "Akkad says, "I'm going to the police."" "You say, "No." "Keep your mouth shut."" "It's none of your business." "Nanna had left long ago." "She was never in that garage." " We have the blouse and phone call." " Good." "Charge him." "Confidential information was leaked." "The voters are abandoning us." "If Troels doesn't withdraw," "I suggest we vote on whether to have a vote of no confidence or not." "Forget about becoming a mayor." "I can use you as Mayor of Education for the next four years." " What have you found?" " I think he's guilty." "If you don't want to suspend him, then that's your problem." "Lund!" "There's been an accident." "He should have been in bed." "His alcohol blood level was 0.12." "I was pissed off at you." "You're right." "He's done it before." "Pernille was sleeping, and the boys were all alone." " The police called." " They've got him." " Was she there?" " It's Nanna's." "Check for missing women in the last 10 years." " We had to release him." " You only have an inconclusive call." "Find Mustafa Akkad." " I've just seen him going to work!" " Don't let it get to you." " I understand..." " Don't say that." "You let her do anything." "And you didn't worry." " I didn't want to take it out on her." " And where did that get us?" "It isn't fair." "Shouldn't I wait for you?" "Are we sure Kemal has driven the car?" "Early in the election, Kemal arranged an event." "I let him borrow a car." " They're voting on it soon." " There won't be a vote." "It's not what you think." "What are you talking about?" "The girl Rama helped." "She fled from an arranged marriage." " Rama hasn't come home." " Do we know where Birk Larsen is?" "THE KILLING" "I repeat." "We have an alleged kidnapping and are searching for license plate PM 92 010." "It's a red van from Birk Larsen Movers which left Humbleby around 6 p.m." "Theis Birk Larsen is 6 feet 4 inches, blond and about 45 years old." "Exercise caution when apprehending him." "Take him to Department A." " What do you know?" " Hang on." " We have a possible kidnapping." " What do you know?" "We're on the lookout for the car." "All duty officers are informed." "We've checked the warehouse and the workshop." "Isn't there a warehouse at Teglholmen?" "No, he terminated that half a year ago." " What does his friend Vagn say?" " Nothing." "He's not at home." "Theis' wife won't say a word." " His cell phone?" " It's turned off." "He used his credit card at a gas station on Enghavevej." " Meyer." " Yes." "A call from Kemal's cell phone was registered as being made from P. Knudsens Plads." "We have Enghavevej..." " He went to Valby." " No, I've just been there." "Then he took the motorway." "What about Avedøre?" "Would he use his own place?" " Any better ideas?" " He knows we know them." "We have nothing to go on." "We have to think of something." "Where was the call registered?" " P. Knudsensgade." " I'll take the motorway there." " Put pressure on his wife." " Right." "MONDAY 10 NOVEMBER 7.31 P.M." "I couldn't say anything without giving the girl away." "I was afraid her parents would come and find her." "Shut up." "Why doesn't the girl call?" " Nanna came to return the books." " I said shut up!" "You go on and on like a woman." " There isn't a girl." "He's lying." " I left her a message." "Hello." " Leyla, is that you?" " Rahman?" "Why are you calling?" "Don't be afraid." "I need your help very much." "I need you to say what happened on the Friday you came to see me." " Hello?" " Where are you calling from?" "Do you remember the girl you met?" "Tell her father what happened." " Tell him that she brought some books." " Don't tell her what to say." "Hey, bin Laden, speak Danish." "Don't you get it?" "Hello?" "Where did he go, Pernille?" "You have to help me." "Kemal didn't kill your daughter, but Theis has kidnapped him." "First it's her ex-boyfriend, then her teacher, and now it's us..." "If Theis hurts Kemal, he'll go to prison." "Do you understand?" " He would never do that." " Wouldn't he?" "Twenty years ago a drug dealer was killed." "They were sure that Theis had killed him." "Right now he's making a big mistake." "He would never do that." "He wouldn't." "You've lost your daughter." "But Kemal is innocent, Pernille." "Don't make it any worse." "You have to help me." "I must know where Theis is." "There are some buildings..." "A warehouse we don't use anymore." "It's going to be torn down." " Do you know the address?" " I can't remember." "It's been so long." "It's out on Teglholmen." " Yes?" " We're going to Teglholmen." " The SWAT team is ready." " Copy." "I'm already there." " What's that?" " I'm at his old warehouse." "The lights are on." "Good." "I'll be there in two minutes." "Theis!" "No!" "Okay, Theis." "Theis, for God's sake." "He's had enough." " Theis Birk Larsen!" "It's Sarah Lund." " Come on!" "Let's go." "Get out of here!" "Sit up." "I said sit up!" "Theis, stop!" "Kemal is innocent." "He didn't do it." "Get up, I said." "I can't take anymore." "Theis!" "I said get up." "Theis, put the weapon down!" "Theis!" "Theis, put the weapon down!" "Listen to me now." "Put it down!" "Put it down." "Don't do anything stupid." "Drop it." "Now!" " Drop it." " Theis!" "Call an ambulance now." "We need an ambulance now." "Get going!" "Breathe." " Has everyone arrived?" " We're waiting for Lisbeth." " Have you talked to the police?" " Reconsider." "Nothing's definite." "If the vote is in your favour, we can still make it." "I've defended a killer." "There's nothing more to discuss." "Lisbeth is here." "Everyone is here." "It's regretful but necessary that we're here to vote on a vote of no confidence against Troels Hartmann." " May I...?" " All opinions have been noted." " A vote won't be necessary." " Yes, it will." "The debate is over." "I'm withdrawing." " No, Troels." "Why?" " That's also a possibility." "All it takes is a written notification to the constituency association." "Troels, you have to come with me." "Stop it." "He just said he's withdrawing." "The regulations require a written notification." "I have news from the police." "Are you coming, Troels?" "This isn't dignified." "This is totally unnecessary." "You might not agree, but it's ridiculous." " I have news." " Stop it!" "It's too late." "As far as I know, Kemal isn't a suspect anymore." " I'm trying to call the inspector." " Kemal drove that car." "They say it's not important." " We can't defer our decision." " I've just spoken to the inspector." "New evidence proves that the teacher is innocent." "It's still a mess." "If Troels doesn't withdraw, we'll take a vote now." "The inspector will be on the news, but you can call him if you like." "Knud, you have the floor." "Knud!" "Perhaps we shouldn't vote now." "If what Rie says is true, I think we should wait." "Nonsense!" "Be serious, Knud." "It could be a misunderstanding." "Troels, on behalf of the whole group, I'd like to say that we're sorry." "Would you please tell us what you think?" "I think we should sleep on it." "It's now evident that Hartmann's role model has been cleared." "I'm pleased that the case has turned out this way for his sake." "But he seemed to be paralysed." "He's not mayoral material." " People are congratulating you." " Even parliament." "It's a happy moment for Troels and me." "Troels Hartmann is a trustworthy alternative to Bremer." "That's why the Centre Party has entered into an alliance with him." "The group was a disappointment, but this can work to your advantage." "There's no reason to give up." "I'm damn well not giving up." " The press are waiting." " No statements today." "Arrange a press conference for tomorrow, but issue a statement, saying I'm glad that justice has been served." "We need to get our poster campaign going again." "We need to focus on our integration policy again." "Call a group meeting for tomorrow." "Call them in the morning." "That's short notice." "They'll be here." "Coming?" "Then we can talk about things." "We have quite a lot to do." " What will happen now?" " He'll be arraigned." " Where's he going?" " To our holding cell." "When can he come home?" "It depends on the charge." "Is he going to prison?" "This is your fault." "I'll have a car drive you home." "You'll be informed after the hearing." "Yes." "The Muslim girl has made a statement." "She confirmed Kemal's alibi, and it was her blouse." "I've spoken to Kemal." "He isn't doing very well." "The doctors say he'll recover." "He doesn't want to press charges." "Unfortunately, that's not up to him." "They can't charge him." "Loss of liberty, grievous bodily harm." "What did you think?" " I said something was wrong." " We did the right thing." "The father is going to jail, and Kemal was beaten up." "Excuse me." "Buchard wants a meeting with you in the morning." " What about?" " He just said you should be here." "He's to be taken to task by the commissioner." "I'm not taking the fall with you." "I just won't." "The police have decided not to charge the teacher who was a suspect in the murder of Nanna." "The inspector states that an unfortunate coincidence led to the teacher as a suspect." "The investigation has had consequences for the election since the teacher was a role model in Hartmann's integration program." "We haven't been able to get a comment from Hartmann." "But it seems to have solidified his position." "They say I can go home tomorrow." "My mother and I will talk about the arrangements." "It's not necessary." "I'm going home to Sweden." "Why?" "You're busy." "We have workmen in the house." "Your mother would find it odd." "No... it's fine." " There's no shame in being wrong." " Want some water?" "You will find him." "Be patient." "We've hit a dead end." "Did you check if any other women have disappeared?" "So?" "There aren't any." "There must be." "Tell me what you know." " What do you know for certain?" " Nothing." "Stop it, Sarah." "Friday, 31 October, she went to a party at her high school." "Earlier the same day, a driver delivers campaign material there for Troels Hartmann's campaign office." "He feels unwell." "He loses the car keys and he leaves the car and takes off." "At about 9:30 p.m, Nanna leaves the party on her bike." "The perpetrator must have found the keys and followed her..." "Stop there." "Your perpetrator doesn't act spontaneously." "He doesn't happen to find the keys and then commit a crime." "He isn't impulsive." "He plans his actions and then covers them up." "The car was outside the school." "That's what happened." " It doesn't fit the profile." " Maybe your profile is wrong." "The only thing you know for sure is that the girl was found in the car." "And that the perpetrator drove it into the water." "The car is your best lead." "Start with that." "Thanks." "It's what I've been saying all along." "There's not a damn thing." "The perpetrator has removed every trace." "If there was anything he missed, the microorganisms got it." "I'd like an hour's sleep if you don't mind." "It says that the gas tank contained 52.2 litres when the car was found." "It was 5-6 litres short of being a full tank." "Turn the lights off when you're done." "Are you certain about this?" "Could you've made a mistake?" "Measured the gas incorrectly?" "We've checked that car 1000 times." "We haven't made a mistake." "According to the mileage log, the tank was filled a week before." "If that's true, it should be almost empty." "But it isn't." "So who put gas in it?" "DAY 9" "TUESDAY 11 NOVEMBER" "Hello." "Lis Gamborg." "Have a seat." "I'm your court-appointed lawyer." "The court is busy today, so your arraignment is in a few hours." "But it gives us some time to talk about your case." "The prosecution will charge you with attempted manslaughter, loss of liberty and grievous bodily harm." "How is he?" "Kemal?" "He'll recover." "He says he won't press charges." "But that won't get you acquitted." "But the judge may see it as mitigating circumstances." "I'll plead guilty to all of it." "I just want to go home to my family." "I understand." "In light of what your family has been through we can hope for leniency." "I'll try to convince the judge that you needn't remain in custody." "You've confessed." "You came willingly." "You're not a flight risk." "I'd like to talk to my wife." "She's a witness." "It could damage her credibility as a witness." "You'll have to wait till after the hearing." "I'm sorry." "No." "I can't do that right now, but I can check and call you back." "Thank you." "Goodbye." " What are the charges?" " Birk Larsen Movers." "Hold the line." "I don't know." "Can you babysit the boys?" "Of course." "Pernille, what has he done?" "Sorry to keep you waiting." "No, we can't pick it up today." "No." "Let me take a look and call you back in five minutes." "Goodbye." "Has Theis done something to the teacher?" "If Kemal had told the truth, it would never have happened." "I told Theis he had been released." "I shouldn't have done that." " It was my fault." " We can't get hold of Vagn." "When you've been to Østerbro, could you make this delivery?" "No, they're not here right now." "I'll tell them." "The bank wants you to call back." "You had an appointment." "Yes..." "We realise that things didn't go as well as they should have." "HARTMANN'S ROLE MODEL IN THE CLEAR" "I believe I told you that our working relationship wasn't optimal." "The commissioner wants you off the case." "We messed up in the press." "Our involvement in the election has been embarrassing and unacceptable." "And now the father is being charged with manslaughter." " We don't have to press charges." " That's up to the lawyers." "But that notwithstanding, you fucked up." "Why should I let you stay on the case?" "Because we know more than we did yesterday." "I have an appointment at the school." "We'll get everything under control." "If the case doesn't lead in a specific direction by tomorrow, you're off it." "Both of you." "Stay away from the town hall and Hartmann." "Yes." "Right." "We need to step things up." "Get out to the school." "Talk to the workmen, the cleaners." "I want to know everything." "Get Nanna's picture to all taxi drivers." "Get on it." "Find out if she took a taxi from Kemal's apartment." "How hard can it be?" "Send a photo of the car to gas stations in Greater Copenhagen." "They should focus on the evening of 31 October." "Why?" "I visited the technical department." "We missed something." "According to the mileage log there wasn't much gas in car." "But now the tank is almost full." " Could it have been the perp?" " If he went to a gas station..." "Then he's on a surveillance tape." "Of course." "I'm not stupid." "Right." "Let's start with the stations near the high school." "But, Lund, if you drove a stolen car would you fill up the car yourself?" " The log might be inaccurate." " You can check at the town hall." "No, I'm not going to the town hall." "You heard what he said." "Don't look at me like that." "I'm not going there." "Do what you want." "I'm not going to the town hall." "You told the father that you'd find the perpetrator." "I also told my wife that I can keep a job for more than three weeks." "Good morning." "Knud, would you like to ring the bell?" "Good morning." "Thank you all for coming at such short notice." "I know you had to rearrange your schedules." "I'd like to have the floor." "Of course." "I'd like to apologise for the unfortunate course of events." "It's been difficult for all of us, but we all realise that our disagreements were only based on the welfare of the party and nothing else." "So..." "I'd like us all to bury the..." "Thank you, Henrik." "But I haven't changed my mind." "Troels, there's no reason for you to withdraw now." "The election association and the group are behind you." "I'm not withdrawing." "No panic." "Our common goal is for a change of system here in the town hall." "Yes." "Then it's no good if we're fighting among ourselves." "Isn't that right?" " Yes." " Isn't that right?" "So I'm giving you the same choice you gave me yesterday." "What's that?" "Either you step down, or we take a vote on it." "That's absurd." "I did it in the interest of the party." "What will it be?" "Fine." "Fuck you." "Well, that's that." "As chairman I give the floor to Troels." "That goes for you as well, Knud." "I know I messed up." "But I you have my undying loyalty." "You're out." "Good." "Let's move on." "Lisbeth, you take over as chairman." "First I'd like you to meet some people." "Kim, Deepa, would you come this way?" "You all know Deepa and Kim from our youth organisation." "They'll be our new alternates." "Have a seat." " Welcome." " Thank you." "Let's get to work." "I'll put you on the list." "Come early." "We'll start on time." "Bye." " A reshuffle wasn't a good idea." " It was the best solution." "I'd like some copies of this." "And could you bring us some coffee?" "Bigum won't give up easily." "It will cause unrest in the party." " What about the press conference?" " They're all coming." "We've been on the defensive for too long." "We had to act." "Yes." "I just hope you've talked to the Centre Party about it." "I have a meeting with Kirsten later." "Don't worry about it." "Okay?" " Will you bring me the copies?" " Yes." "Okay." "Where were we?" "He's taking care of that." "You're paying rent for two places." "Your finances aren't equipped for that." "So..." "When will you able to sell the house?" "You'll have to talk to Theis." "The platform on the big truck is stuck." "Then you'll have to make two trips with the little one." "We can't cancel." "I can put your loan on hold, so you can skip this month's payment." "Your overdraft is rather large, and then there was the funeral." "Pernille, we have to find a plan of action, otherwise I..." "Theis will be home soon." "I'm sure he has a solution." "Excuse me, I have to take this." "Hello?" "Hi." "Hi." "Are you okay?" "Yes." " How are the boys?" " Fine." "Waiting for you to come home." "I won't be coming today." "Then when will you?" "I'm detained in custody." "Did they say for how long?" "A week, as of now." "I'm sorry about..." "I have to go now, baby." "I'll call you later." "Bye." "Yes, yes, that's correct." "We're very busy right now." "It won't take long." "I just need to understand how your system works." "Thank you." "They hand the keys in when they've parked and pick them up when they're leaving." "So the key to the stolen car should have been hanging here." "Yes, if it hadn't been stolen." "Who fills the cars up?" "The drivers themselves I guess." "You'll have to come some other time." "And you always enter it into the mileage log?" "I can't comment on the elected." "Talk to the campaign office." "Yes, but I'd rather not bother them in the middle of a campaign." "Can you confirm that this car wasn't filled up on 31 October?" "Yes, it hasn't been entered." "But that's normal." "The drivers don't make entries until they return here." "But the driver in question didn't return the car." "So he just didn't get it done." "If that's all..." "Thank you." "How do the drivers pay for the gas?" " Pardon me?" " How do the drivers pay?" "They must have a charge card in the car." "Please talk to..." " What kind of charge card?" " That's not part of our job." "Of course not." "If you would look up the name of the gas company" "I'll let you get back to work." " Yes." " Thank you." "Talk to the workmen who were working at the school that day." "When that's done, we talk to the cleaners and then..." "What?" " It's Lund." " Get your butt out here." "There was a charge card." "I don't have the card, but I have the number." "On 31 October at 7:21 p.m. it was used on Nyropsgade." "Right..." " We'll get their surveillance tapes." " We have to do what Buchard said." " Can't you do it on your own?" " Fine." "Do what you want." "I'm going to the station." "Talk to the workmen." "Get going!" "Rudi, I'd like you to help the workmen at the house." "Thanks." "Hi." "It was my fault." "Is he still inside?" "Pernille, I can manage this and help you with the boys." "I just want to help." "How could you do that?" "How could you?" "Vagn..." "Back then... 20 years ago..." "Was Theis the one who did it?" "Tell me the truth." "He didn't do anything." "Okay?" "Thanks." "I have a meeting with Troels now, so I'll run it by him." " Kirsten..." " Troels!" "I'm so glad everything turned out well." "Hi." " And you sorted out your group." " Regrettably, it was necessary." "You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs." "But it's all over now." "The polls are looking good, and the media are obliging." " So now we reap the benefits." " My thoughts exactly." "We have suggestions for winning over voters." "I know you supported Bigum in bringing me down." "It looked like you supported me, but then you went to Bigum." "Don't deny it." "I know my group would have consulted the alliance." "Troels, before you go on, you must understand..." "We can't cancel the alliance, but it's just a technical measure." "You get two choices." "Either the press are informed and you'll be criticised for being untrustworthy and disloyal." " And the other?" " You step down." "And let number two take your slot." " You need me, Troels." " No." "I don't need you." "Don't take it personally." "I hope you understand that." "Aren't we having a meeting?" "What's going on?" "I asked Kirsten to step down." "Rie, give the news agencies some material." " What the hell is going on?" " I was going to tell you." " But there hasn't been time." " We've fought for that alliance." "No. 2 is a better partner anyway." " It's our turn to set the agenda." " By firing everyone around you?" "She went behind my back." "We can't knock Bremer off his perch with the help of the Centre Party." " We can't win the election alone." " And we're not going to." "Call all the party leaders to a meeting tonight." " But they all support Bremer." " Not anymore." "Not if they read the polls." "October 31 was 12 days ago." "The tapes run 24 hours a day." "The odds of finding the right tape are bad." "They reuse them." "This is the last one." "It's from last Friday." "That's what I said, Lund." "They reuse the tapes." "Fast forward it." "Stop there." "Let's see it from there." "Forward till 7:21 p.m." "That's the car." "Come on, for Christ's sake." "Come on." "Don't get in, you bastard." "Shit." "Shit." "Shit." " Shit." " Wait a minute." "I know who it is." " I haven't done anything." " That's what they all say." "Come on." " I just filled up the car." " Before or after you met Nanna?" "I didn't meet anyone." "It was almost empty." "I just wanted to help." "Either you tell the truth or you won't be seeing the sky for the next 16 years." " Where is the charge card?" " I put it in my pocket by accident." " Then I threw it out." " Why were you at the school?" "According to the schedule, the driver was going there." "So I swung by on my way home." "And you had the keys with you?" "No." "The keys were in the car." "The driver must have forgotten them." "Why didn't you call the campaign office and tell them?" "I tried, but the secretary was in Oslo." " I didn't know that girl." " What did you do with car?" "It was the Mayor of Education's." "So I couldn't leave it there." " So I drove it home." " Home?" "What home?" "Here." "To the parking structure across from the town hall." "I didn't give it a second thought till I read about the dead girl." " Why didn't you tell anyone?" " I would have." "Then I checked the tapes to see who had taken the keys." "There wasn't any." "There wasn't any tape." "Whoever took the keys must also have taken the tape." "It's true." "I'm telling you the truth."
