"The police are searching for Robert Zeuthen's nine-year-old daughter, Emilie." " What are you doing to find her?" " Speak to me." "He may have spared Emilie and hidden her on the boat." "Give me the book, then you'll live." "Haw the hell could he getaway?" "What have you found?" "Louise Hjelby's crime scene." "He's trying to find the guilty, with a notebook he's acquired." "I know how it looks, but our task then was to make sure the PM wasn't tarnished." "Which of the 12 black cars is it?" "All he wants is justice, so let's provide it." " The bullets went through the bag." " She's alive?" " We'll start a search right now." " Where did this iPad come from?" " I know how he contacted her." " Thank you very much for the iPad." " You had faith." "I need that faith now." " That won't bring Emilie back to life." "The police have salvaged what they thought was Emilie's body." "I tried to keep things separate, but I'm not as strong as you." " We can now back you as Prime Minister." " I hope you don't hold a grudge." "Keep it for when I've appointed my new cabinet." "You'll need it for comfort." " Didn't you see anybody that night?" " There's only me and the cat man here." "These are the clothes Emilie wore." "No, he couldn't have shipped her off as freight." " There were 13 black cars in the book." " That's the ministerial car." "I'm sorry I didn't notice it earlier'." "I'll have to find the guilty one myself" "THE KILLING Ill" "The PM's department was notified." "Nothing odd has been observed." " What do you think the man will do?" " We don't know." "I want a list of staff." "That's over 300 people." "They've all been vetted, and we have names and ID's." "Are there other entrances for journalists, workmen, cleaners?" "No." "With your limited description of him, I'm sure everything's under control." "Can I have that list?" "No one in Special Branch knew that the PM's car was in Jutland then." " Or that a page was missing." " Well, it didn't tear itself out." " Can I have that list'?" " We haven't touched that page." " It still seems to be about Ussing." " Except the perp says it's not." "There you are." "What about CCTV?" "I'd like to see who arrived within the last hour." " As I said, everyone's been checked." " Good, but I want to see that footage." " Lund speaking." " It's Brix." "What the hell is happening?" "Thank you and good luck in the election." "All three are strong believers in our crisis plan and the welfare state." "Why didn't I hear about you sacking the treasurer beforehand?" "Because you wouldn't have agreed." "Did Stoffer go to the meeting already?" "No, he's at some security briefing." "Even so, we could have discussed it." "I can't have a minister who's against me." "Let's just find Stoffer and go." "Going solo makes you very vulnerable, and you don't need any further unrest" "I don't want any more hitches." "We've finished with Rosa Lebech." "We're in a strong position." "Ussing being a suspect has knocked out the opposition." " We just need to get Emilie back home." " There's also something odd going on." "In the archives I noticed that our driving report from then is missing." " What driving report?" " The one that outlines..." "According to security, Emilie Zeuthen's kidnapper may be here at Christiansborg." " He's here?" " We need to get back to the department." " Come on now." " Honestly..." " We've checked everyone properly." " This could take all night." "Maybe the perp conned you, and he's out to get Ussing." "No, Ussing showed up at HQ with his lawyer and is not a suspect." " I need the list for the last hour." " What do you mean?" "Apparently Ussing has an alibi for when the girl disappeared." "He was at a hotel with a woman on his staff, and she's confirmed it." "This is unacceptable." "People need to get home on planes and trains." "A photocopier service was here for a few hours this afternoon." "But 20 minutes ago, one of them returned and showed his ID after working hours." "All their staff are security approved, They often come when things are quiet." "His ID is also approved for the PM's department." "Where is he right now?" "How do you play it forward?" "He said he'd forgotten to change a printer cartridge at the secretariat." " Is that the secretariat?" " That's the PM department's red zone." "What are they saying?" "Why is Emilie Zeuthen's kidnapper here?" "It's probably just a false alarm." "Shit, we'll be late for that meeting!" "We'd like you in the safe room." " Let's go." " Where's Karen?" "A report had gone missing." "She's looking for a backup." "Excuse me." "Excuse me, can I help you?" "Hello, I'm talking to you." "He's been spotted around here." "He's wearing a cap." " I'll go that way." " You two come with me." "I don't bloody believe this!" "You saw him meddling with the sewers?" " Only his back." " Why didn't you get him?" "Stop." "Let's get everyone out except the technicians." "She's one of us." "The perp has stolen a hard drive." " What's on that hard drive?" " We don't know yet." "First of all, why did the perpetrator come here?" "To find out who drove the ministerial car on a certain date two and a half years ago." "Sarah Lund, CID." "This is Mathias Borch, Special Branch." "The ministerial car wasn't used during the election campaign." "A boy saw the car and wrote down the license plate on April 20th." " The day the girl in the old case..." " But it couldn't have been that car." "Why is the perpetrator interested in my car being in Jutland?" " Ussing is involved in this, not the PM." " Ussing is no longer a suspect." "The perp kidnapped Emilie Zeuthen, because the old case was never solved." "We have to investigate every lead we get." " So you think that we're involved?" " Not necessarily." "We know for a fact that your ministerial car was over there." "We just want to know who drove it." "It's in your best interests to answer." "The perp took a hard drive, containing every detail about your oar." "Who drove it and where, GPS information." "So am I or anyone in my department suspected of involvement in a killing?" " Let's sit down and talk about this." " The conversation ends here." "You're wrong, and one thing's for sure, the PM didn't drive that car on that day." "The page in the notebook with your car on it was tom out." " There's something you're not telling." " Do you know who you're talking to?" "Tell us who drove it." "Someone pressed a public prosecutor to drop the case, if you know something, now is the time to tell us." "We'll be in touch." "That was great." "Terrific!" "We've now checked the harbour and all the containers." "Unfortunately, we haven't found any clues to where Emilie may be." " Was the iPad sent to the police?" " Yes, but we haven't heard back yet." "They found a place in the harbour." "The police say there are signs that Emilie was there briefly before he sent her on and abandoned the boat." " Signs that she's alive?" " They didn't say." "Sent on to where?" "The police think she may have been put on a ship going abroad." "Possibly in a container." "23 freighters were in Oresund that night." "The problem is, that it was three days ago." "The ships have reloaded, and the number Emilie could be on board has doubled." "I want those ships and terminals checked out." " Several of the ships are at sea." " Call them back." "We'll foot the bill." "Robert, even if we pay for it, that won't be enough." "We can't buy certainty." "She may have been put ashore." "All the calls about the reward - was there nothing useful?" "No, unfortunately, not yet." "Notify the freighters and keep taking the calls." "Any news?" "I'm calling Carl lo say goodnight." "I just want to hear his voice." "It's not your fault." "I didn't know about the iPad or that she was sitting in the attic talking to the perpetrator." "She was angry with us - with both of us." "You told me that we would find her, so I know that we will." "OK?" "OK." "If there are any more calls, then forward them to me." "Thanks." "People can't get through to the police." "Now they're calling Zeeland directly." "A reward of a hundred million was sure to make people act like maniacs." "I see what's happening with Robert." "He's being the same man that he's always been." "Unreasonable with you and inattentive to the kids." "There's the cat, the iPad, and Zeeland could be to blame for all of this, because they're hiding something." "Robert and Zeeland are not to blame for anything, and the police agree." "Hey you know that I'd do anything for you." " Maja..." " I'd like to go home to Carl now." "The chart and container number indicates she was shipped off, but no specifics." "Send a copy to Zeuthen when you're done," "Didn't she leave us any clues 7" " If she was here, it was only brieﬂy." " Is there anything on the perp?" "Lots of fingerprints we can't identify." "The homeless say he kept to himself" "And the connection with Louise's mother?" "Any clues to who he may be?" "He's kept a photo of her which was taken long before she fell ill with cancer." "The perp stole a hard drive." "He needs a computer to see what's on it." "We'll start with libraries and internet cafés." "I'll call you back" "Someone has to know something." "What about the photocopier service?" "The man broke into the company car and stole clothes and ID." "The cameras show that he's limping." "It's impressive that you didn't get him." "Then what?" "No news." "The Prime Minister's department will have to tell us what they know." "If anything." "So far, it's just a claim based on scribbles in a boy's notebook." "I wish I'd known about them 12 hours ago, when you said you'd told us everything." " We weren't aware of it." " Cleanly." "Was the PM's car in Jutland?" "You're not helping Emilie by clamming up all the time." "The election didn't allow time to watch the PM's car." "His department rejects it." "The page with the ministerial car was torn out which indicates..." "That's speculation." "It could have been the public prosecutor or the boy himself." "We need to show the perp that we want to solve the case." " No, we need to find the perp." " That's what we're doing, damn it!" "Borch, come here." "Borch, come here." "Ask management to let us question and search the Prime Ministers department." "A young boy collecting license plates won't convince management." "Then come up with something." "Otherwise we risk the perp never calling." "I've had the container numbers sent to Zeeland." "I'll go hear their opinion." "I've just received a complaint from the PM's department." "What's going on?" " There's a reason for what we've done." " First the opposition and now the PM." " We'll send them a sincere apology." " Ruth..." "Ruth we need to talk." "I want rid of these accusations, and I want the ministerial car checked out." "The hard disk and the driving report are missing." "I'm looking for the driver." "We've cancelled this evening's meetings." "I rescheduled the sponsors for tomorrow." " What are the drivers saying?" " They'll call us back." "No, call them in." "If Emilie's life depends on it, I'll ask them myself." "There's no reason to talk to anyone." "I'm the one who took the report this afternoon." "I didn't want the police to have it before talking to you." "The ministerial car was driven then." "Who drove the car'?" " What the hell are you talking about?" " It was your son, damn it!" "It was Benjamin who drove the car." "A demonstration against the banks' part in the financial crisis went sour." "Benjamin was recognised by police as one of the troublemakers." "He was only 17." "They called me to get in touch with you." "I asked a driver to pick him up and bring him to Jutland where we were." "When they arrived at the hotel, Benjamin stole the keys and took off in the car." "The driver wrote as follows." ""April 20th." "Passenger:" "Benjamin Kamper."" " Why didn't you say anything?" " I didn't want you involved in it." "I promised Benjamin not to tell you." "He wanted to provoke." "He was angry, and he'd had a few drinks." "How long was he gone with the car?" "I found him late at night." "He called me from some bus station." "He was feeling down and he'd run out of petrol." " And you still didn't say a word." " Did he meet the girl?" "No, he drove around until he broke down." "Then I sent him back to Copenhagen." "I want a full account of when he arrived, what happened and when he was found." " Anything else you've lied about?" " No." "You're telling it all to the police." "If this comes out, it'll look as if we put pressure on the public prosecutor." "I don't give a damn." "The police need to know as soon as possible." "You'd better look at this." "We 're investigating a series of events in the Prime Minister's department, and we 'll continue until we get some satisfactory answers." " What's it about?" " I can't comment any further on it." "But we 're not missing any opportunity to get Emilie Zeuthen back alive." "I'll start answering phones and preparing a press release." " Then there's your ex, Benjamin's mum." " Well, just leave that to me." "Would you please keep Stoffer away from me?" "I don't want to see him." "Of course." "Chairman Giisfort has heard about the accusations against the Prime Minister." "He wants a briefing." "I'll handle that." "And there's someone here from the police." "You know the one." "She says it's important." "Unless you know where Emilie is we've nothing to talk about." "I understand, but did you look at the container numbers I sent you?" "You listed all the containers in port three days ago." "We've searched most of them." "We'll inform the police abroad." "Are some containers more likely to..." " No." "And what about the iPad?" " The technicians are working on it." " It offers an explanation..." " That was Maja." "She's in the basement." "I need some information about former employees." "It'll only take a minute." "Unfortunately, we're all quite busy." "We still think the old murder case is the key to finding Emilie." "The perp is the biological father of the girl who was killed." "We have already provided personnel records and photos." "He's no oil rig worker." "The man we're after has extensive technical knowledge." "He knows everything about the harbour." "It's also in Zeuthen's interest..." "Don't tell me about Zeuthen's interests." "I know them better than you." "Then help me." "We're looking for an engineer or someone like that." "His employment must have changed, when the girl died." "Two and a half years ago, our staff turnover was high." "Why?" "The crisis was biting." "Many in the business had gone under." "Zeeland took over a number of companies and their employees, but we lost some." "I need those personnel records to see if anything stands out." " Right." "I'll put it in motion." " Thanks." "Just so that we understand each other..." "If Emilie loses her life because of an old murder case that you haven't solved properly, it would be unbearable for Robert Zeuthen, and it would have consequences that neither you nor I could imagine." "Hi." "Can we stay at yours in the guest room?" " Hi, Dad." " Hi, dear boy." "Just until we find something else." "Of course." "Come, let's go home." "Thank you." "I'll get someone to pick up your car." "We've been briefed by the Prime Minister's department." "They admit the PM is car was in Jutland around the time of the murder." "It was the PM's 17-year-old son who took off in the car." " The driver's report confirms it." " What was his son doing there?" "A sad story about the son getting upset with the dad and driving around" "The report supposedly just fell behind a bookcase this afternoon." "How do we know that this is correct?" "The PM's brother, Kristoffer Kamper witnessed the episode." "He's willing to talk to us tomorrow morning." "I'VE MOVED IN WITH A FRIEND." "THANKS FOR YOUR HELP." "EVA." " We need to bring in the son." " Lund, you should try to keep up," "The son died." "The official story was, that it was an accident, but to the best of my knowledge, it was a suicide." "It happened a few weeks after Kamper won the election." "Special Branch doesn't believe that it could be the son." "We'll press on." " We'll call the brother in for a chat." " OK." "Keep your phone turned on." "Hopefully the perp calls you." "I've been outside for half an hour." "Can I talk to you for a minute?" "If you've heard about the PM's son then you know they're hiding something." " Of course there's more to it than that." " What do you want?" "This is information on the PM's son." "I wanted to make sure you had it." " I could have gotten it tomorrow." " Yes." "I won't be there tomorrow." "They've taken me off the case." "I'm to stay away." "I'm sorry if I've been a jerk to you." "I should have told you everything from the beginning." "But I really don't know what happened to that page in the notebook." "I hope you believe that." "The kidnapping of Emilie Zeuthen is said to be tied to an old murder case." "Is it true that the PM's car is part of the investigation?" " Hi." "What's your name?" " Astrid." "I'm Kristian." "Shall we take a couple of pictures?" "That's it." "Thank you." "Take care of yourselves." "I'm trying to tell Zeuthen's assistant about the situation we're in." "He hasn't replied." "Stoffer is with the police and we're calling it a briefing." " How long are we here for?" " First a tour with Ussing and the press, and then you're having a chat with the kids in the yard." " There's something we need to discuss." " It's obvious the school needs a boost." "Benjamin wasn't found until later." "He went missing for almost 12 hours." "He wanted to be alone." "Stoffer said there was nothing to it." "He took his own life less than two weeks later." " The police will link the two things." " There is no connection." " He had depression." " Hello, welcome." "The kids are getting into their seats." "Would you mind waiting for a minute?" " Not at all." " We can go in here." "Nice drawings." "A splash of colour on the walls brightens things up." "Certainly." "I was surprised to hear that your ministerial car was in the spotlight." " I won't use it here in the run up." " Thank you." "But don't show me any consideration." "That's exactly what my staff told me." "I would be within my fights to, after your move with that unreliable witness." "You'll have to take that up with your own conscience." "I have to follow the fact that the old case was covered up, and now someone has a clear motive." "Your brother took his time in coming forward with the truth." "Do his contacts in the state apparatus include a certain public prosecutor?" " No, and you shouldn't say that." " Of course you would say that." "Otherwise, things would look bad with Zeeland and the Emilie Zeuthen case." " Shall we get started?" " The police want to talk to you." "What about?" "I'm sorry but I think they're suspecting Benjamin of the murder." "Benjamin Kamper, A-levels, mentally unstable, and diagnosed as being bi-polar, or manic-depressive." "Politically active on the far left, associated with several red rags etc." "After the trip to Jutland things suddenly go downhill." "He takes off from home again and walks in front of a freight train." "Hi, this is Eva, leave a message." "According to Kristoffer Kamper, Benjamin wasn't anywhere near Louise." " And the former Zeeland employees?" " We can't wait for them to send records." "Lund, the perp hasn't contacted you." "There won't be any room for us at this particular address, if we tear open the PM's personal wounds for no reason during an election." "It must be him." "That would explain why a public prosecutor covered it up." "Yes." "I'll ask around again." "It's up to the Prime Minister himself, if he wants to meet with us." "Even though the material is impressive, you shouldn't trust Mathias Borch." "Is that understood?" "We haven't heard from the places where he could have checked the hard disk-." " What's happened to Borch?" " He's off the case." "And Louise's morn?" "Monika Hjelby lived by the yacht harbour." "I'm looking for a Birgit." "About Borch..." "Borch was taken off the case." "I don't know any more." "Was it down to you?" "Were you pissed off about what happened in Jutland?" "Listen, I have no idea." "Then why the hell is his wife sitting out there waiting to talk to you?" "Hello." "Sarah Lund." "I'm on my way out, so maybe you should have called." "He came home late last night." "He didn't come to bed." "I found him in the living room." "I thought it was the case that he was so obsessed with, but it wasn't." "He says that he's in love with someone else." "I assume that it's you." "Were you together on that trip to Jutland?" "Are you in love with him?" "You may have been a couple once and left things unfinished, but we have two girls, and he's their dad." "I want you to leave him alone." "Lund, let's go." "The PM's department has given us the green light." "We sympathise with you, but we also have a business to run." " Can we talk about this later?" " You can run it with good reason." "Uncertainty is spreading in the company." "We need to send out clear signals." "I'm asking you to drop the reins now and let us appoint a managing director." "I have always counted on your support." "I can't accept Zeeland moving abroad." " I'd reconsider in light of the press." " We have a deal with the government." "Zeeland stays here." "The PM's department's being investigated." "My managerial duties can be covered by the other directors on the Board." "If that's not the case, we've hired the wrong people." "Make sure it all works out." "I shall emphasise to Giisfort, that he is to leave you alone, and communicate directly with me." "Is there anything else?" "Emilie could be on board 15 freighters and at six terminals around Europe." "How much is left to go?" "Though we've paid, it's difficult to get access to the last terminals." "Rotterdam, Hamburg, Stavanger and St Petersburg." "The police can't step in." "I'll speak to the shipping companies myself." "Have my plane prepared." "I'll go to Hamburg and Rotterdam." "You'll go to Stavanger and St Petersburg." "I didn't know that Benjamin went to Jutland in the ministerial car." "My brother tried to spare our family." "I regret that." "That's all I can say." "Your son took off in the car around the time when a local girl disappeared." "She was raped and killed in an old boat builder's yard." " The PM is aware of the case, thank you." " Your son was manic-depressive." "How was he feeling during the days after the episode in Jutland?" " Anything out of the ordinary?" " Not that I can think of." "Were you in contact?" "Did you speak?" "Yes, of course I spoke to my son." "From time to time he'd go into his awn shell." "But neither my former wife or I had noticed things getting worse." " So you thought that he was depressive?" " He was depressive." "He had stopped taking his medicine, and we found out too late." "Well, is there anything else?" "We've looked into Benjamin's activities in the weeks after the trip to Jutland." "His absence from school became marked, he quit his part time job, and according to his school friends, was buying a lot of beer and spirits." "All symptoms that something was wrong - and still you didn't find it unusual?" "We assumed that it was his illness." "My former wife and I aren't doctors." "And I wasn't around much at that time." " Did he ever react like this before?" " The PM has already answered." "Benjamin had experienced something that he couldn't live with-." "The night before he disappeared, he turned up at the psychiatric care unit." "He expressed deep anxiety and asked to be admitted." "But staff informed him that as a minor, he needed his parents' consent." "Then he left, but he had repeatedly told the psychiatrist on duty, that "he had done something that his father would never forgive him for"." "The psychiatrist advised Benjamin to go home and talk to his father." "Did he?" "That particular evening I came home very late." "I thought that everyone was asleep, but Benjamin was awake, and came downstairs to see me." "He asked if we could sit down together in the kitchen for a while." "We hadn't done that for a long time so it made me very happy." "He was struggling to express the things he wanted to say, and I was very tired." "In the end he said, that it didn't really matter, and then he went up to his room." "In the morning, I made breakfast and went up to wake him the bed was empty." "He was gone." "This may not mean anything." "He was often like that." "Unapproachable, restless." "If your son committed murder, there'll still be traces in the car concerned." "Our technicians can find traces that are several years old." " He didn't do this." "It's ridiculous." " This is where it ends." "What did Benjamin say that night?" "Did he confess or mention the girl?" "Regardless of what Benjamin said, it's trivial, because he's innocent." "The stolen hard drive was found at an internet café 15 minutes ago." "It confirms that the ministerial car was nowhere near the crime scene." " What evidence do you have of that?" " The car's route is indicated here." "The car had GPS, and the information was on the hard drive." "I'm truly sorry." "We'll expect an apology." "I trust that you won't waste any more time." "What happened?" "Did you press him?" "What did they say?" "The ministerial car was nowhere near the crime scene." "The GPS proves it." "GPS?" "What GPS?" "We have no trace of the perp and no trace of Emilie." "Nothing." "You're not giving up because of GPS." " Did you ask about the boy?" " Yes, I did." "And If you doubt me, feel free to go and ask yourself." "What about the perp?" "Do you have the notebook?" "We've checked all 13 black cars from that day." "There's nothing else." "Give me the notebook." "One of the owners is a lady who claims her car wasn't in Jutland that day." "Maybe the boy got the date wrong." "Your wife stopped by today." "I don't want you to..." "Don't ruin anything." "I'm standing outside the place where we found the hard drive." "If the perp knows that the information on it is useless, he won't be pleased." "I'll look for witnesses." "Birthe, who knew Monika Hjelby, is at the harbour." "I've told her we'll stop by, but I can't handle everything." "I'll borrow this one." " I need to go now." " The perp won't give up." " And neither will you." " I have to go now." "Did you see him by the computer?" "Many people sit by the computers." "I don't know who they are." "He brought in a hard drive." " Could anybody have seen him?" " What about the girl?" "The perp was last seen here an hour ago in a blue estate car." "Check if one has been reported stolen." "The man is injured and needs treatment." "Hospitals and casualty units." " We're checking it all again." " No, you'll wait for Special Branch." " You gave the green light to go on TV." " Now Special Branch sets the agenda." "You do as they say, and get Sarah Lund under control." "Have her make coffee, while I clean up your mess." "What are you looking at?" "We'll keep going until we get it in writing." "The plane is ready." "I've informed the company in Rotterdam of your arrival." "I'll go and visit Giisfort and then I'll go home to pack." " Thanks, I appreciate that." " Don't mention it." "Anette is staying in our house in France with the gins." "I may as well be of some use." "I'll call you with any news." "Can I interrupt you for a moment?" "We've been contacted by a Swedish yachtsman." "I think he may have seen something." "We have him next door." "What did you see?" "Four nights ago I was out sailing in Oresund." "It was 3 o'clock at night and freezing cold and I was sitting at the helm." "Suddenly I heard a motor boat sailing by at high speed." "It didn't have any lights, which I found a bit odd." "Shortly after, I passed a coaster, and then I saw the motor boat." "I!" "had berthed." "And then I saw a child walking on board with a man." "Why did you come to us instead of going to the police?" "The police?" "I did try to contact them, but I couldn't get through." "So you claim to have seen my daughter while sailing Oresund on a yacht, in 18-20 metres a second winds, in the dark at three o'clock at night?" "Yes." "Show this man out." "150 centimetres tall, 40 kilos." "Long blond hair." "Black trainers." "Blue rain clothes and no life jacket." "I couldn't help seeing, I was only 30-40 metres away." "They had a work lamp on, so I could see clearly." " I don't know If I should say this." " What'?" "She appeared to be waving." "What was the name of the coaster?" "What was the ship called?" "I'd like to tell you but let's deal with the practicalities first." "If you're telling me the truth, you'll have the reward as promised." "I would appreciate it if I could get same kind of guarantee, in the form of a written contract, and 2% of the reward up front, thanks." "We don't have any cash here." "I can wait." "I'll put it in motion right away." "Tell me more." "I'd rather wait." "Can I offer you anything?" "Yes, a cup of tea with milk, please." "Thanks." "Are you Birthe?" " Who's asking?" " Sarah Lund." "You knew Monika Hjelby, Louise's mother." "I let a ﬂat to her for ten years, right up here." "Monika just turned up one day." "She was pregnant... and a bit posh." "She needed a place for three months, but she ended up staying." " Did you ever meet Louise's dad?" " No." "She went on about some guy, but he never came." "Nothing new in that." " Was she in contact with Louise's dad?" " No." "Did a man stop by at any time?" " Yes, someone came after she died." " Who was that?" " He said he was an old acquaintance." " What did he want'?" "He probably asked about Monika." "And..." "I told him the truth." "She's resting at Amager Cemetery." "Did he ask about anything else?" "No, I just told him that Louise was in a children's home." "What did he look like?" "Any particular characteristics?" "I don't remember." "He was very ordinary." "He didn't seem to know that Monika had a daughter." "I never saw him again." "Hi, it's Eva Lauersen's midwife." "This is not a good time." " Can you help me contact your son?" " Why?" "Eva was brought in yesterday with severe abdominal pains."

" Did he do anything to the girl?" " No, but something had rattled him." "He drove around looking for you, to cause trouble in front of the press." "He'd seen something that he wanted to tell us about." "It was the usual left-wing nonsense, that we were brown-nosing big business." " Why didn't you sent him on to me?" " I wanted him to leave you alone." "He fucked things up for us." "You'd fought hard for that election, and we couldn't let him ruin that." " What did you do?"

"I need to catch a plane." "I think the perpetrator contacted the children's home to see the girl." "There must be something in the old case." "Maybe even his name." "If your fund ran the home, then they may have a copy of the case." "It's important." "I need that case if I'm to find Emilie Zeuthen." " I'll see if I can find a contact person." " Thanks." " Yes."
