"It points to the same killer." "There may be traces in her stuff." "What's happening?" "Leon Frevert can fill you in." "Frevert was putting petrol in his car at the time he, according to you, shot Jan Meyer." "You push the door open and fire." "There's a preliminary hearing tomorrow." "Rie ordered a courier the night the police got the tape." "Did Rie know the toilet was being delivered on Saturday?" "Yes, if she was in the flat." " I've got evidence that..." " It's sad and unworthy." "I didn't touch the flat or the tape." "Go home till it's been investigated." "If anyone had been there Forensics would know." "To the flat..." "The Saturday we cancelled?" " Yes, the cleaners wouldn't let me in." " Was it them?" "There's something in the cellar." "Nanna's passport." "With blood on it." "Why would it be there?" " Why would someone take it?" " So not to upset you and Dad." "Birk Larsen here." "We had a booking for you on November 1 and 2 but a staff member cancelled." "please call back so we can sort things out." "If you agree to release her you'II get access to her psychological journal." "It's a matter of time before they find out yourjournaI is fake." "Mette Hauge moved into a students' collective."

"I was never Sarah, always Lund." " He said "Sarah" and some numbers." " What numbers?" "84..." "Where are you going with this?" "We're sick of it." "Can we agree it's finished now?" "THE KILLING" "She's driving a hire car registration number SL 58 623." "I repeat, SL 58 623." "Sarah Lund has been suspended." "She's to be arrested and brought to police HQ." "She failed to appear for questioning." "I've got problems with the floor." "Start on that." " Does anyone know you're here?" " I said..." "Start from one end." "There are more tools." " They're looking for you." " I need to use your phone." "Thanks." " How much do I remove?" " till we find something." "Everything." "And we're in a hurry." "She's not at home or in Bengt RosIing's hotel room." "Why did she call you?" "She thinks Frevert's innocent." "From where did she call?" "Did you trace it?" "She turned her phone off." "The call came from a car." "I'II tell you when I know more." "Your investigating officer avoided being charged." "She has forged papers." "She's had a breakdown." "Just about everybody has noticed that things are wrong." "And yet... some idiot is feeding her information for her to fool around out there." "Is that true?" " Brix here." " Lund." "Can you talk?" "What would the Ministry of Justice say to this?" "If you don't get her in soon" "I'II personally make sure you're held responsible." "Do we understand each other?" "Did you find the photo?" " Come in." "You're wanted..." " I know who the culprit is." "I know where he took her after Hartmann's flat." "Arrest Vagn Skaerbaek and get me a trusted technician." "I told you we found Nanna's passport in a bin in Frevert's..." "Don't waste my time." "Skaerbaek must have planted it but I can't prove it without a technician." " Where shall I send him?" " KygIer's St, HumIeby." " Birk Larsen's house?" " Hurry." "He knows we're closing in." " What is it?" " Mum, it's a fishing rod." "And as far as I know" "uncle Vagn knows someone with a boat so we might go fishing soon." "should we let it rest?" " I talked to Anton about the passport." " Yes, but..." "There was no passport." " He thinks Vagn took it." " Weren't we done with that nonsense?" "I Ieft a message with the people whose job was cancelled by Vagn." " Why?" "Vagn explained." " Something's wrong." "Something's wrong." "Can I help?" " Theis here." " The potatoes..." "Where the hell are you?" "Okay." "Agreed." "That's fine." "What are you doing?" "I passed by a shop." "It was outside on the footpath." "Isn't it great?" "But we don't have a dog." "We haven't decided the breed." " I got one from poland." " poland?" "I know a guy who imports them." "Theis, don't get upset." "It's got a pedigree and all that." " Okay." "So where is it?" " We're getting it tonight." "You and me." "After dinner." "I'm covering the kennel so Anton gets both." " Thanks, Vagn." " I'II write the card and come upstairs." " Make sure the food's ready." " Bring some beer." "And divert the phone if it hasn't been done already." "Birk Larsen's." "The office is closed." "Leave a message and we'll call back." "It's Henrik PouIsen from HP Office supplies." "You called about our booking for November 1 and 2." "We're very disappointed over the treatment we got." "We'd planned it for weeks but your man rang up and cancelled without explanation." "It's regrettable but if you want further details please contact me at my private number, which is 22..." "What did the cops say about the flat?" "Nothing." "We're in the clear." "There's nothing to worry about." " Is this tomorrow's speech?" " Yes." "For typing." "TroeIs added something and you might too." " Morten." " It's me." "Has Rie arrived?" " Yes, she's waiting for you." " I'II just proofread this." " Is the meeting over?" " I didn't go." "I cancelled it." " Why?" "What happened?" " Have you heard from Bremer?" "They called from the hospital." "He wants to see you." " Why?" " I don't know." " Isn't he being discharged?" " There are complications." " He's staying in under observation." " What complications?" "I don't know." "I told them you were busy." "What's happening?" "Find Rie's contract." "I'II be there in five minutes." "So we include the latest figures." "Fine." "Have we updated our homepage?" "Do it." "We have three more seats." "There's no reason to hide it." " How did the meeting go?" " Sit down." "The latest polls look good." "Have you seen them?" "I understand from the police the flat is not a problem anymore." "could we talk in private?" "Morten stays." "I'm sorry if I betrayed your trust but..." "I went too far with Dessau but nothing happened." " Let's move on." " You have a choice." "tell me what you did in the flat and we'II go to the police together or you accept the consequences." "What?" "Listen to me." "Stop lying to me." "You were looking for me that night and you went to the flat." "When you saw it you made a decision." "You washed the stairs and the door to the flat so no one would see what was inside." "You cancelled the toilet and relocated all our meetings." " I haven't..." " I talked to the plumber." "You tried to flush the rags down the drain." " The cops said the killer cleaned up." " They didn't know better." "It wasn't cleaned until early Saturday morning." "Long after the perpetrator had left." "This is ridiculous." "I was in Skodsborg." "No, not before 9 a.m." " Is this Bremer...?" " Or the government?" "Your father?" "Or was it your own little career decision?" "The police will be informed." "You're relieved of all duties." "Now." "talk to Morten about the relevant paragraphs in your contract." "I don't want to see you any more." "Not here... or anywhere else." "Understood?" "But..." "If I'd seen the flat and believed you'd done it... would I have continued our relationship regardless?" "I have trouble... imagining... that we ever had a relationship." "You mean nothing to me now." "Get out." "Get the car ready." "I'm going to the hospital." "The election is in four days." "Isn't there anyone in this office who will do what I ask?" "Of course." "I just wanted to..." "I'm sorry." "I thought..." "I know." "Inform... the police about this." "Get them to contact... the bathroom supplies firm." "The police must decide what will happen now." "Give me that one." "Come on." "Where's that damn technician?" "Where's my hammer?" "Damn it." "There he is." "Remove the rest so the technician can work." " Did you send for Skaerbaek?" " No, I didn't." "Why not?" "Where's the technician?" "You stupid bastard." "Brix followed procedure." "And so should you." "There's nothing down there." "They looked yesterday." "But not with a technician and not for evidence of Nanna." "It's 9.03 p.m. and you're under arrest." "Frevert called Theis that Friday but he got hold of Vagn Skaerbaek." "Vagn Skaerbaek went to the party flat." "He took the car key from the glass table." "He hid her in the cellar down here..." "Lund, you can talk later." "Bring her in." "He shot Meyer." "tell them about the missing photo." "tell them about the photo, Brix." "tell him about the photo." "tell him..." "He's renovated the cellar with new floors and walls." "Check for evidence and get Skaerbaek before he does..." "Is there anything down there?" "Not as far as I can see." "close it up." "I'II send some men to repair the damage Lund caused." "Just a moment." "You may have the right to pursue Sarah Lund." " But this is my case." " really?" "Your case is solved." "Get Forensics out here now." "I want that cellar searched." " It was a lovely meal." " Good." "Wait, darling." "I've got something to say." "First and foremost, congratulations, Anton." "I hope you had a good day." "And, then... a little bird told me about a surprise from uncle Vagn." "And I'd Iike to... thank... all of you who helped us." "We can't get through this without your help." "Thanks for being there for us." "We're looking forward to inviting you to our new house." "It's a new start for all of us that we hope you'II share with us." " Cheers." " Cheers." "well... how much is left to do?" "It's going well." "Vagn has just finished the cellar." " And the kitchen?" " Later." "The boys were scared of the cellar so I concentrated on that." "Who the hell is that?" "Birk Larsen's." " It's Rudy." "Is Theis there?" " What's up?" "I just passed the house in HumIeby on my way home." " Does Theis know the police are there?" " What?" "The cops are running in and out of the cellar." " Are they allowed?" " Yes, that's okay." "We'II pop over and have a look." "Thanks for calling." "well..." "I think... we must change our plans." "What happened?" "The guy we were meeting..." "he wants us to come now." "Meeting whom?" "Are you meeting someone?" "Yes, it's about Vagn's surprise for..." " How did he know to call here?" " My mobile's giving me problems." "I can't depend on it and I didn't want him to miss me." "shall we go?" " Can't it wait till after the cake?" " We must go now or we'II miss out." "We'II be back in half an hour." " See you." " We'II be back for dessert." "Theis..." "Theis..." " I don't want you to go." " We'II be back soon." "Why can't he go alone?" "I promise to be back before the cake." " Come on." " Yes." "Mum, is this for me?" " Let's go upstairs." " My name's on it." "Isn't it sweet?" "You're so sweet." "EmiI!" "Send someone for Skaerbaek, damn it." " It's not my responsibility." " Skaerbaek kills people." " 12-24, bulletin." "Come in." " Talk to Brix, Lund." "Okay?" "12-24 here." "Over." "Nanna's mother called to talk to Lennart Brix." "Over." "Received." "Brix is on a case." "He'II be back later." "What's the problem?" "She wants us to locate her husband." " Why?" "What has happened?" " 12-24 here." "What's the problem?" "He's gone with an employee but she doesn't know where to." " Received." "We're on..." " Which employee?" "With whom did he leave?" "Give it to me." "Ask him, damn you." "Who did he leave with?" "12-24 here." "Who's driving with Birk Larsen?" "He's out driving with an employee, a Vagn Skaerbaek." "They've gone to collect a puppy but she's found out that isn't true." "Over." "Put an aII-points out on the car." "12-24." "Received." "Over from here." "What are you doing?" "Get the number and find the car before it's too late." " Can't you see what's..." " Theis is just with an employee." " Skaerbaek is notjust out driving." " Damn it, I'm trying to do my job." "Stop the car." " Take it easy." " Stop the car." " What are you doing?" " Stop the car." "Now!" "Get out, both of you." "It hasn't helped you covering everything in plaster and sawdust." " Are we wasting our time?" " We'II try with a blood reagent." "If it's negative, yes we are." "The ultraviolet light will show blood." "The only evidence is of a woman who's had a breakdown." "I want to have a look now." "BuIow here." "I'm on my way." "Trace the car." "Lund threatened two officers and hijacked their car." " What?" " You know why I'm glad I'm here?" "I've seen your leadership skills." "They leave a bit to be desired for the top job." "Something's happening." "Can I help you?" "I'm visiting PouI Bremer who's here somewhere." " Are you a friend or family?" " Neither." " Mr Bremer's not seeing anyone." " He must." "He invited me." "tell him it's Hartmann." " Wait here a moment." " Fine." "Mr Bremer..." "I'II just raise your bed a bit." "There you are." "I'd have won the election on Tuesday." "You... still can." "You've always worn your heart on your sleeve." "I was like you once." "We carry much more cynicism around than we... imagine." "If you really want to make a difference... you'II have to retain power." "If power is what interests you." "Maybe you really are different." "Everything's different." "There's so much I don't... understand any more." "PouI, what did you want with me?" "I know... who helped you." "I'm sorry." "I must ask you to go outside for a moment." "I thought it was Rie Skovgaard but it wasn't." "I've sent everything to your office." " We have a problem." " It's up to you what you want..." "The pulse is uneven and he's saturated." "please leave." "Do the right thing because you'II have to live with it." "You're the one who has to live with it." "You're going to live with it." "We're old friends, just ask him." "No." "Listen to me." " You've got an obligation..." " I have no obligation." "Hartmann?" "What did he say?" "What evidence did he have?" "He wouldn't have called you in if it wasn't important." "Hey!" "I must go in." "I thought I'd caught every copy but Bremer found the Iast one." "It was taken two years ago for the schools' fun run." "It was never published." "Nanna Birk Larsen won the municipal bronze." "Bremer's finally given us something with no strings attached." "I heard he had another stroke." "What did you do?" "You'd been in the flat." "You'd been drinking." "You'd gone to pieces when I found you at the summer house." "You'd tried to commit suicide." "When I saw the flat what was I supposed to think?" "I made a decision." "I don't know her." "I've never seen this before." "They found her in your car and I recognised her from the photo." "I intended tipping the police off after the election." "I'm not a monster." "I couId have kept the tape." "I didn't remove everything from the flat." "As soon as I knew you were innocent" "I Ieft everything as it was in the flat." "AII I did was... wash the stairs and the doors." "In principle there was still enough evidence left in the flat." "In principle?" "I did what was necessary." "That's what you hired me for." "Of course I'm sorry about Rie." "But she wasn't right for you." "We've waited 100 years for a change in the system." "should I throw it all away because some fool killed a girl?" "You're insane." "The police will find out." " They're probably in the flat now." " No." "I didn't call the police." "I went to the flat and removed all the rubbish from the drain." "And don't worry about the plumber." "I'II edit your speech for tomorrow." "people will expect a comment on Bremer." "There will be no tomorrow." "When they find the killer it will all come out." "If they find him." "They haven't had much luck." "Then I'II go to the police." "Do that." "There you go." "call them." "Start by showing them the photo." "And explain that you said you didn't know her." "Without my testimony you've got no alibi." "What would they think of the tape and the cleaning?" "And the way you reacted to the investigation?" "sleep on it." "I don't know where they went." "The puppy's here and..." "we tried to get hold of them." " What did Sarah Lund say?" " She came and took my sister." " They didn't say where?" " I presume to find Theis and Vagn." "What's up?" "They're driving in a red van marked Larsen's Removalists." "Registration number UE 93 682." "I repeat, Lund." "You have no authority." "Put out an all-points." "Last seen on Vesterbro Street driving east." "Is there a storage facility we don't know about?" " In the South Harbour, but..." " Where?" " You've got everything." " Lund." "Message." " Lund here." "Over." " You were right about Skaerbaek." "Nanna was held captive in the cellar." "Over." "Get an aII-points out on that car." "Over." "We'II do it now." "But you must report in." " I can't." "I have to find them." " You have no idea where they are." "You're suspended." "You'II jeopardise everything." " Borders and bridges have been..." " He's not absconding with Theis." "We've found ammunition at Skaerbaek's place." "He's probably armed." "Drive back with PerniIIe." "You can't do any more." "Come on, damn you." " could he go to the woods?" " Why?" "He's surrounded by water." "He can't escape." "Get someone out there." "I'm on my way now." "Why would he go there?" "It's name was Corfu." "Do you remember?" "I smuggled that impossible dog home from Greece in a backpack." "It was embarrassing." "Right in front of the supermarket." "That such a little dog could do such a big shit." " These beers are good." "Want one?" " No, thank you." "I'II take yours, then." " Is it out near the airport?" " No, we're almost there." "PerniIIe will tear your head off if we're not back for the cake." "You know that, don't you?" "Where are we going?" "I've got something to show you." "I won't be long." "Remember our night fishing trips?" "We're going to get that dog, eh?" "It was freezing cold and we didn't catch a thing." "You said PerniIIe would think we'd been at the pub if we didn't get some eels." "You stared when I turned up with some." "I never told you." "I stole them from a trap." "What's going on?" " Put these on so your feet don't get wet." " What's going on?" "Put them on." "We're going home." "Give me the keys." "Are you okay?" "Get up." "Let's go." "The dogs have found the scent." "We're on our way." " How many are we?" " Five patrols with more coming." " Where are you?" " Ahead of you." "Hurry." "Come on." "Move." "Vagn, what are you on about?" "Where are they?" "Where are they?" " What's going on?" " I'm not there yet." "I can'tjudge the direction." " I'II send men towards the water." " He's not going that way." " Go on." " What?" " They're going further in." " Repeat." "Theis..." "Soon they'II tell you a Iot but I want you to hear it from me." "Leon called that evening to tell you he'd seen Nanna." "And that she planned to travel and elope with that Paki." "I knew what you would say." "So I went to find her in that flat to talk her out of it." "She didn't want to listen." "You know how she was." "I thought of you, PerniIIe and the boys." "I knew it wouId make you sad." "We all loved her." "AII of a sudden she couldn't care less about me." "Or you either." "Right?" "Sometimes we can't predict the future." "I tried to explain to her that we could forget all about it." "But she wouldn't." "Do you understand what I'm saying?" "Afterwards... when we got out here... she escaped." "I got hold of her again right here." "Right here." "She was afraid." "And I knew you'd never understand if she told you what had happened." "I couldn't kill her." "I couldn't." "Theis, I couldn't." "So..." "I carried her to the car and drove it into the water." "Here." "Come on." "Get it over with." "Theis Birk Larsen, put down the weapon." "Move away from Skaerbaek now." "You'II never live in that house." "I knew the house was empty." "I did it over there." "Lower the weapon and step aside." "There's someone who wants to talk to you." "Theis... it's finished now." "Theis... nothing's finished." "Come on." "We're going home." "Look at me, Theis." " Theis." " Move away from him." "Move away from him quietly." "Give it to me and go home." "I had to hold my ears because I couldn't stand... her screaming." "And she begged and... she begged for her life." "And she called for you and PerniIIe." " No!" "Theis!" " Theis." "Lord mayor Poul Bremer has suffered a blood clot on the brain." "His condition is serious." "Poul Bremer has withdrawn from the election." "Bremer was lord mayor for 12 years and was facing his fourth term." "I've got an interim report." "I'II fill you in when the case is concluded." "Yes." "You're welcome." "Forensics have matched residue from Skaerbaek's jumper to your gun." "He was the one who shot Meyer." "The public prosecutor wants to finish the investigation." "You must expect a sequel." "Amongst other things, as to what happened in the car." "I presume they will consider the development of the case." "But your situation is quite serious." "I've been asked to present an option to you." "The case has been upsetting for many." "And... they want it to stop here." "And they want some things excluded from your report..." "Your claim that someone tried to protect Town hall, that someone from here was watching you, and your claim that several old cases are related to this one." "As I see it it's a good outcome for you." "I advise you to accept." "Lund, you solved the case." "That's what matters in the end." "This way you'II still be employable somewhere else." "I can help you with recommendations to..." "Lund..." "They're waiting for an answer." " Yes, it's Brix." " TroeIs Hartmann." "It's a bad time." "I'II call later." " Hey!" "This is important." " What's it about?" "It's about the Nanna case." "I tried to contact you earlier." "I found out something..." "that's important for your investigation." " I found out that..." " I appreciate it, but... the culprit's been found so don't worry." "You've found him?" "Have you questioned him about what happened in our flat?" "No, and we won't either." "He died last night during capture." "hello?" " He's dead?" " Correct." "I've got a press conference in an hour so if..." "There is..." " Out with it." "What is it?" " What I wanted to say is..." "I'II send a man across next week." "I'II have to go now." "Good luck with the election." "Good morning." "Morten Weber said you were here." "Maja Randrup." "He asked me to step in while Skovgaard's off sick." "Your speech..." "I've read it." "It's really good." "I added something after I heard about the lord mayor." "Use it if you see fit." "Pity you had to win like this." "Maybe he should've retired earlier." "There's room in your calendar now Bremer's out of the picture." "Morten says you can take the day off after the speech." "I called for a clean suit." "It'II be here soon." "A judge will see him and then he'II go to prison." "We'II call you when we know more." "I'm sorry." "Theis!"
