" Rahman Kemal had help." " What?" "The witness changed his mind." "Where do I find Mustafa Akkad?" "I think he rents out some garages." "Mustafa Akkad says "I'll tell the police everything"." "And you say "Shut up or you'll regret it forever"." " Butt out." " Why the police?" "Nanna had left long before." "As far as I know she was never in that garage." "A sweater, a phone call and a witness..." "Arrest him." "Confidential information was leaked." "The voters and the government desert us." "If Troels doesn't resign I suggest we call a meeting for a vote of no confidence." "Forget about being lord mayor at this election." "And with luck we can use you as school mayor for the next four years." " What did you find?" " Is he guilty?" "Yes, he is." "That you defend him and don't suspend him is your problem." "The hospital called." "There was an accident." "He ought to have stayed in bed." "His blood alcohol level was 1 .2." "I was so bloody angry with you yesterday." "You're right." "He's done it before." "Pernille was asleep and the boys were alone in the room." "I think..." " We're doing what we can." " The police rang." "They've got him." " Was he there?" " We're not sure." "Nanna's got one like that." "Check for missing young women over the last decade." "We let him go." "All you've got is a vague phone call." "Find Mustafa Akkad." "I saw him." "He's going to work, he's walking around..." " Don't despair." "I understand..." " Don't tell me you understand." " You didn't say no to her." " I did." " You didn't care." " I didn't want to take it out on her." "And what good did that do us?" "This is not fair." "Shouldn't I wait for you?" "Are we sure Kemal didn't drive that car?" "At the beginning of the campaign." "Kemal was in charge of an event and I lent him one of our cars." "We've got to take a vote soon." "No vote." "I've damaged the party." "It's not what you think." "Rama is a good man." " What?" " The girl he helped..." "She ran away to avoid getting married." "Rama hasn't returned." "He always calls me." "Do we know where Birk Larsen is right now?" "THE KILLING" "I repeat the call to all cars." "A possible kidnapping." "We're looking for a car with the registration PM 92 010." "It's a red van from Birk Larsen's Removalists." "Driving from Humleby via Vesterbro Street around 6 p.m." "The driver is 190 centimetres tall, fair haired and 45 years old." "Be careful upon approach." "Arrest him and bring him and the injured party in." " Meyer." " How far are you?" "Wait a sec." "Possible hostage situation." "We need negotiators." "Have you got anything?" "We're searching the register and the guards were advised." "Give me that, Rasmussen." "We've checked his warehouse in North Harbour." "And we've checked his workshop." "And what about Teglholmen?" "Nothing." "The lease was cancelled six months ago." "And what does his friend, Vagn Skñrbñk say?" "Nothing." "He's out." "Theis's wife has clammed up." " His mobile?" " Still switched off." "But he used his credit card at a petrol station at Enghave Road 90 minutes ago." "Meyer... 20 minutes later a call was registered from Kemal's phone on a mast at P. Knudsen's Square." "Let me see." "Enghave Road..." "He drove to their Valby storeroom." "I was just there." "There's nothing." "He must have gone via the motorway to their Avedùre storeroom." "Would he use his own premises?" "Got a better idea?" " He knows we know about them." " Lund, we've got nothing to go by." "We must find something." "Where was that call registered?" "P. Knudsen's Street." "I'll take the motorway out there." "Get his wife to talk." "Great." "I couldn't talk without exposing the girl." "I was afraid her parents would come after her." " She'd run away from home." " Shut up." "When is she calling?" "Nanna came by with those books." " She left again." " Shut up." "You're nattering on like an old hag." " There's no girl." "He's lying." " I just left a message." "She'll call soon." "Hello." " Is that you, Leyla?" "It's Rama." " Rama?" " Why are you calling?" " Don't be afraid." "I need your help." "Just say what happened that Friday you came to my place." " Hello?" " Where are you calling from?" "You remember the girl you met at my place?" "I'm here with her father." "Tell him what happened." " Tell him she came with the books." " Don't tell her what to say, idiot." "Speak Danish, Bin Laden." "Don't you understand?" "Where did he go, Pernille?" "You must help me." "Kemal didn't kill your daughter." "But Theis has abducted him." "First it's her boyfriend, then the teacher and now we're..." "If Theis harms Kemal he'll go straight to prison." "Get it?" " He wouldn't do that." " Wouldn't he?" "A drug dealer was killed 20 years ago." "The police were sure Theis did it." "Possibly with good reason." "But now he's doing something stupid." "He wouldn't do it." "He wouldn't." "You've lost a daughter." "Kemal is innocent, Pernille." "There's no need to make matters worse." "Help me." "I must know where Theis is." "There are some buildings... a storehouse we don't..." "We don't use it." "It's condemned." " Do you have the address?" " I don't remember." "I haven't been there in a long time." "It's at Teglholmen." " Yes?" " We're going to Teglholmen." "The negotiators can be there in ten." " Received." "I'm here already." " What are you?" "I'm at Birk Larsen's old warehouse." "The lights are on." "Fine." "I'll be there in two minutes." "Theis..." "Okay, Theis." "That's enough, damn it." "Stop it, Theis." "Theis Birk Larsen?" "It's Sarah Lund..." " Come on, let's split." " Get lost!" "Sit up." "Sit up!" "Theis, stop!" "Kemal is innocent." "It's not him." "I didn't do it." "I'm going to be a dad." "Get up, I said." " Theis!" " Get up, I said." "Theis!" "Put the weapon down." "Theis!" "Theis, put the weapon down." "Listen to me." "Put it down." "Drop the weapon." "Don't do anything stupid." "Put the weapon down." "Now!" " Put it down." " Theis..." "Get an ambulance." "Now!" "Get an ambulance now." "Get it now, I said." " Have they all arrived?" " Lisbeth can't find a babysitter." " Did you talk to the police?" " Think." "Nothing's resolved." "If the vote goes your way we can still recover." "I defended a murderer." "There's nothing more to say." "Lisbeth has arrived." "We've got a quorum." "It's regrettable but necessary to have this extraordinary meeting on a vote of no confidence in Troels." " May I?" " All views have been noted." " It's not necessary to vote." " We agreed to vote." " Unfortunately, the debate is closed." " I'm resigning." " Why, Troels?" " But, if that is..." "That's possible." "We need it in writing to the members." "That's it." "Troels, I need you now." "This has to stop." "Troels has chosen to resign." "The rules demand it in writing." "This must be resolved." "We've just got new information from the police." "Coming, Troels?" "This is undignified." "This is unnecessary." "It may not suit your purposes." "It's pathetic." " Something has happened." " Stop it." "The game's over." "Kemal may no longer be a suspect." " Sure?" " I'm trying to contact Homicide." " But Kemal used that car." " They say it doesn't matter." "We can't defer the vote because of rumours." "I just talked to Homicide." "New facts have confirmed that the teacher is innocent." "At any rate, Troels has mishandled this case." "If he won't go we must vote." "The Chief of Homicide is on the news, but you can call him yourself." "Knud, you preside." "Knud..." "It may be wrong to vote now." "If Rie is right, I think we should wait." "Nonsense." "Take your responsibility seriously." "Not if it's a misunderstanding." "Troels, I think I speak for all present when I say that... we're sorry." "Will you... speak and tell us what you think?" "I think... that we sleep on it." "Hartmann's role model has been completely cleared." "It's a good result for Hartmann." "But it doesn't alter the fact that he became paralysed." "And it doesn't mean he'd make a good lord mayor." "There have been lots of congratulatory phone calls." " Even from the government." " It's a relief for Troels and me." "I've said it all along, he's a credible alternative to Bremer." "That's why the Centre Party has aligned with him." "I understand your disappointment but this may strengthen you." "There's no need to give up." "I'm not giving up." " The press is waiting." " No, arrange it for tomorrow." "Let the press release state my happiness about a fair decision." "Till tomorrow..." "Revive the photo campaign we dropped." "Here." " Focus again on integration." " Sure." "And set up a meeting with the group tomorrow." " I'll call them." " Wait till tomorrow." " They can wait." " It's short notice." "They'll be there." "Coming?" "There's a lot we have to go through." " What will happen to him now?" " He'll go to court." " Where's he going?" " To the holding cell." "When can he come home?" "That depends on the charge." "Is he going to prison?" "You caused this, you know." "We've got a car to take you home." "I'll advise you after the hearing." "Yes." "The Muslim girl has testified." "She confirms Kemal's alibi." "It was her sweater we found." "I talked to Kemal." "He's in bad shape but he'll recover." "He won't press charges." "Unfortunately, that's not his call." "Surely they can't do that." "Kidnapping, grievous bodily harm." "What did you expect?" " I told..." " We did the right thing." "Right?" "Theis will go to prison and Kemal is half dead." " Yes?" " Message from Buchard." " He wants a meeting tomorrow." " About what?" "He said for you to get ready." "The Director called him in." "I won't go down for this with you." "I won't." "Based on new information the police have not charged the teacher who was suspected of killing Nanna Birk Larsen." "Erik Buchard says it was circumstantial evidence that led the investigation to the teacher." "The investigation has influenced the local election campaign as the teacher is a role model in Hartmann's integration program." "We've been unable to speak to Troels Hartmann but everything points to his position now being stronger." "They say I can go home tomorrow." "I'll talk to Mum about how to accommodate you." "That won't be necessary." "I'll go back to Sweden." "Why?" "You're flat out." "And I've got tradesmen in the house." " And your mother would think it's odd." " No, that's..." "It's fine." " There's no shame in being wrong." " Shall I get you some water?" "You'll find him." "Just be patient." "We're stumped." "Did you check if other women have disappeared?" " There's an explanation for all of them." " There must be something." "Tell me what you've got." " What do you know for sure?" " Nothing." "That can't be right." "Friday 31 October she goes to a party at her school." "Earlier that day a driver delivers some election material to the school from Troels Hartmann's office." "He feels sick and he loses the key." "He leaves the car there and departs." "At around... 9.30 p.m." "Nanna Birk Larsen leaves the party on her bike." "The perpetrator must have found the keys and followed her." "Stop there." "Your perpetrator isn't spontaneous." "He doesn't just find the car keys and decide to commit a crime." " He must have done." " He's not impulsive." "He plans what he does and then covers it up." "The car was in front of the school." "That has to be it." " It doesn't match his profile." " Your profile may be wrong." "All you know, for certain... is that the girl was found in the car, and that the perpetrator drove it into the water." "The car is your best starting point." "Go from there." "Thanks." "I told you so." "There's nothing." "The perpetrator erased every trace." "If he missed anything the micro-organisms took care of it." "If it's okay, I'd like some sleep." "It says here that the tank had 52.2 litres in it when it was found." "That means the tank was 5 to 6 litres from being full." "Turn the lights out when you leave." "Bye." "How sure are you of these figures?" "Could you be wrong?" "Could you have measured it wrong?" "We've been through it 117 times." "There are no errors." "Read it." "What's the problem?" "That the logbook shows it was last filled up almost a week before it arrived at the school." "If that's true the tank ought to be almost empty." "But it isn't." "So who filled it up?" " Hello." " I'm Lis Gamborg." "Please sit down." "I'm assigned to your case." "They're busy so the hearing has been delayed a few hours." "So we have time to discuss the case." "The prosecutor will charge you with attempted murder, deprivation of liberty and secondary... grievous bodily harm." "How is he?" "Kemal?" "He'll recover." "He won't press charges." "It's not enough for an acquittal but the judge may view it as a mitigating circumstance." "I'll confess to everything." "I want to get home to my family." "I understand." "In view of what you've been through we must hope for sympathy." "I'll do what I can to convince the judge that remand is unnecessary." "You've confessed." "You surrendered voluntarily." "You're not a flight risk." "I'd like to call my wife." "She's been questioned in the case." "It may cause credibility problems about her testimony." "You'll have to wait till after the hearing." "I'm sorry." "No, I can't tell you right now but I can check and call you back." "Thanks." "Goodbye." "What's the charge?" "Birk Larsen's Removalists." "Hold on." "I'll know after the hearing." "Can you mind the boys tomorrow?" "Sure." "He was kept overnight." "What did he do?" "Sorry to keep you waiting." "No, we can't pick up today." "No." "I'll find out and call you back in five minutes." "Thanks." "Goodbye." "Did he hurt the teacher?" "If only Kemal had told the truth." "I was the one who told Theis that they'd let him go." "I shouldn't have done that." "It was my fault." "We still can't contact Vagn." "After you've been to Oesterbro could you take this from Broenshoj to Vanloese?" "No, they're not here." "Yes, I'll tell them." "Call the bank." "You had a meeting." "We're aware that things didn't go as they should have but..." "HARTMANN'S ROLE MODEL CLEARED" "I think I mentioned that our partnership hasn't been optimal." "The Director wants you off the case." "We've complained to the media." "Our involvement in the election was embarrassing and questionable." "And now we've got the father who's charged with attempted murder." " There's no need to charge him." " That's up to the lawyers." "But it doesn't alter the fact that you fucked up." "Why should I keep you on the case?" "We know more than we did yesterday." "We're going back to the school." "I've got it all in hand." "If you don't find a clear direction by tomorrow, you're out." "Both of you." "And you stay away from Troels Hartmann." " Understood?" " Yes." "Pull your fingers out." "Get back to the school." "Talk to everybody." "Workmen, cleaners..." "I want to know about everybody who came and went." "And get a description of Nanna to all cabs." "It's already been done." "Follow it up, then." "Find out if she took a cab from Kemal's flat or what." "How hard can it be?" "Get a photo of the car to all petrol stations in the city." "They must focus on Friday evening, October 31." "Why?" "I was at Forensics last night." "We've missed something." "According to the logbook the tank was almost empty when it was at the school." "Now it's full." " You mean the perpetrator?" " Most likely." " I don't know but..." " He'd have been filmed." "I'm not stupid." "Fine." "Let's start with servos near the school." "If you were driving around in a stolen car with a hostage would you go for petrol?" "Maybe the logbook is wrong." "That's why we have to check at Town Hall." "I'm not going to Town Hall." "You heard what he said." "Don't do that." "Don't look at me like that." "Do what you want." "I don't give a shit." "You told her dad you'd find the killer." "I also told my wife I can keep a job for more than three weeks." "Good morning." "Knud, will you ring the bell?" "Good morning and thank you for coming at such short notice." "I realise you've had to leave other tasks." "May I talk before we go on?" "Of course." "I'd like to apologise for this unfortunate incident." "I know it's been difficult for all of us." "But I'm sure we all realise that the disagreements were only out of concern for the party" "and nothing else." "So..." " I'll suggest we bury..." " Henrik, thank you." "But... it doesn't alter my decision." "Troels, there's no reason for you to resign now." "We and the members support you." " And the opinion polls are great." " I'm not resigning." "Take it easy." "And I presume we still have a common goal of a new regime?" " Or what?" " Yes, yes." "So it's no good if we're fighting internally." "Do you agree with me?" "Do you agree?" "I'll give you the same choice that you gave me yesterday." "Which is?" "Either you resign or we'll take a vote." "That's absurd." "I acted in the party's interest." "What's your choice?" "Very well." "Up yours." "Well." "That's that." "As chairman I'll now hand over to Troels." "The same goes for you, Knud." "I know I made a fool of myself." "I guarantee my loyalty." "I'll never let you down." "You're out." "Good." "Let's get going." "Lisbeth, you take over as chairman." "First we'll welcome someone." "Kim and Deepa?" "Come in." "You all know Deepa and Kim from the youth organisation." "From now on they'll fill the two vacancies." "Please sit down." " Welcome." " Thank you." "Let's start." "I'll put you on the list." "Go to Security and arrive on time." "That's fine." "A reshuffle mid-campaign is not good." "It was right, though." "Get me a copy of this and find some more coffee." "Bigum will not give up." "He'll create havoc in the party." " Have you got the numbers?" " Everyone's coming." "We've been defensive for too long." " Things must happen now." " But talk to the Centre Party." "The alliance must be in step." "I'll meet with Kirsten today." "Don't worry about it." "Am I getting the copies?" "Quick, eh?" "Okay." "Where were we?" "He'll take care of that." "The problem is you're paying two rents." "Your income can't sustain that so..." "When do you think you can sell the house?" "You'll have to talk to Theis." "The lift in the big van is broken." "Well... make two trips with the small van." "We can't cancel." "What I can do is suspend your loan to save you this month's instalment but... your overdraft is rather large and... the funeral was expensive so..." "Pernille, we must find an action plan otherwise I have to..." "Theis will be home soon." "He knows what to do." "I have to answer this." "Are you okay?" "Yes." " How are the boys?" " Fine." "They're waiting to show you something." "It won't be today." "When?" "I've been remanded." "Did they say for how long?" "A week, initially." "I'm sorry that..." "I have to go now, sweetheart." "I'll call again later." "Bye." "Yes, that's right." "We're busy with Hartmann's press conference." "It won't take long." "I just want to find out how your system works." "Thank you." "They park the car and hand in the key." "They retrieve it when they go out again." "So the key to Hartmann's stolen car would have been here?" "Yes, if it had not been stolen." "Who's responsible for refuelling the cars?" "The drivers, I presume." " Can you come back later?" " And it's always logged?" "I can't talk for the elected members." " Ask at the campaign office." " I will, but..." "I don't want to disturb the important campaign." "So if you can confirm from these figures that the car was not refuelled on October 31." "It doesn't seem to have been logged." "But that's not odd as the drivers don't fill in the log until they return." "But the driver in question did not return with the car so perhaps he simply neglected to do it." " If that's all, then..." " Yes." "How do the drivers pay when they fill up?" " What?" " How do they pay for fuel?" "They should have a petrol card in the car." " You'll have to talk to..." " We didn't find a petrol card." "Sorry, but that's not our concern." "But if you'd check the name of the petrol company that Hartmann's cars use I'll leave you alone." " Here." " Thank you." "Find out all about the workmen that day." "When they came and went." "When we're finished go back to the school and talk to the cleaners..." " What?" " Lund here." "Get off your arse and come out here." "There was a petrol card in the car." "We never found the card but I found out its number." "Friday October 31 at 7.21 p.m." "It was used at a servo in Nyrop's Street." "They'll send us the surveillance tapes." "Buchard wanted us to re-check the school." " Can't you manage on your own?" " Go ahead, then." "I'm going back to the station." "Talk to the workmen." "Get going." "I'd prefer it if you helped in the house till Theis comes back." "Thanks." "It was my fault." "Is he still in prison?" "I can manage this and I can look after the boys if..." "I just wanted to help." "How could you do it?" "How could you?" "Vagn..." "Back then... 20 years ago." "Did Theis do it?" "Tell me the truth." "He didn't do anything." "Thanks." "I'm meeting Troels Hartmann now." "I'll ask him." "I'll see what he thinks." "Yes." " Kirsten..." " Troels..." " I'm so happy it ended well." " Have a seat." "And it's good that you cleaned up your group." " It had to be done." " You win some, you lose some." "But the atmosphere has changed." "The polls are clear." "And the media is positive so now we can reap the spoils." "Absolutely." "We've got offers for events to get new voters." "I know you supported Bigum against me." "Outwardly you supported me but you went to Bigum." "Don't try to deny it." "My group would never act without talking to you first." "Troels..." "Before you..." "We can't dissolve the alliance." "But, as you said, it's only provisional." "You have two choices." "Either the media gets the story and you'll appear dishonest and disloyal..." " And the other choice?" " You resign... and leave the job to number two." " You need me, Troels." " No." "I don't need you." "I hope you understand it wasn't personal." "Wasn't there a meeting?" "What's happening?" "I asked Kirsten to resign." "Rie, remember to send the material to the news agencies too." " What the hell is going on?" " I was going to tell you." "There wasn't time to discuss it." "We've been fighting for that alliance." "Number two will make a better partner." "Bremer is one step ahead." "Let's set the agenda." " How?" "By firing everybody?" " She went behind my back." "You fought for it but if we're going to get Bremer we can't afford to rely on the Centre Party." "We can't win the election alone." "We won't." "Call all the big parties to a meeting tonight." " They all support Bremer." " Not any more." "Not if they read the polls." "October 31 was twelve days ago." "They're filming 24 hours a day." "We'll never find it." "They tape over old footage." "Not that one either." "The last one." "It's from Friday." "I told you, Lund." "They tape over them weekly." "Fast forward." "Stop there." "Play from there." "Go to 7.21 p.m." "That's the car." "Come on, damn you." "Come on." "Don't get in, you bastard." "Shit, shit, shit." "Wait." "I know who it is." " I didn't do anything." " They all say that." " Come over here." " I just filled it up." "Before or after you met Nanna Birk Larsen?" "I didn't meet anyone." " It was empty." "I wanted to help." " And I'll help you now." "Either you tell us the truth or you won't see the sky for 16 years." " Turn the hearing aid up." " Where's the petrol card?" "I pocketed it." "It could have looked bad so I threw it out." "Why were you at the school." "The schedule said the driver was there." "It was his last stop so I cycled past the school." "I see." "By chance you had the car keys." "No." "The key was in the ignition." "He must have left it there." "Why didn't you report that the car had not been returned?" "I tried, but the campaign manager was in Oslo." "I didn't know the girl." "I've done nothing." "What then?" "It was Hartmann's car." "I couldn't just leave it." "I drove it home after I'd filled it up." " You drove it home?" "Where's home?" " Here." "In the car park opposite the Town Hall." "I forgot it till Tuesday when I read about the dead girl in the car." " Why didn't you come forward?" " I wanted to." "I checked the surveillance tape to see who took the key." " And." " Nothing." " What?" " There was no tape." "Whoever took the car must have taken the tape." "There was nothing." "I'm telling you the truth."
