"He put the tracking device on your car at the airport." "Yes." "He's been able to follow us everywhere." "He saw you talking to Dorte and then he followed her." "Only I knew her whereabouts." " I can't stop thinking about her." " You must." "I know." "Palle Pis is dead." "Frandsen rang." "He gets the results on Monday." "It was only a small amount of radiation but no dose is too small to cause cancer." "We've got him and we'll look after him well." "Do you want to be alone?" "Isn't it cold?" "800 grams of highly enriched uranium." "What was it for?" "Well... a bomb." "Don't you need at least 25 kilos?" "The French made an 800-gram bomb as a spin-off from their atomic bomb." "800 grams is enough to blow an entire city to bits." "Intelligence can take the case." "But why?" "An A-bomb over Copenhagen?" "It's a national security threat." "It's theoretical." "We've got Sergei and the uranium." "Give the case to Intelligence." "If you really want a bomb." "it's easy to get uranium." "You can find it anywhere." "And we still have a bomb." "I'm so cold." "Please keep me warm." "Your victims haunt me every night." "What do you want?" "To tell you that life means life." "considering what you've done." "Under these conditions." "Got a cigarette?" " What are you trying to say?" " That you should think about it." "Wait." "THE EAGLE a crime odyssey" "Morning, Frandsen." " When do you get the results?" " Tomorrow." "You live and learn." "Isn't that uranium shit deadly?" " I don't want to talk about it." " You look a bit pale." "It's okay." "I just have to get rid of the taste of disaster." "Are we making a deal with Sergei?" "It's not my decision." "A reduced sentence before Dorte's buried?" " That's not it." " Is it at all possible?" "Are your girls still at Jonas's cottage?" " Take the day off to be with them." " It's okay." "They're fine." " What are we calling it?" " Ares." "The god of war." "Nice and raw." "What happened?" "You disappeared." " I went to see Sergei." " At six in the morning?" " Without his lawyer?" " Yes." "Hallgrim's talked to Sergei." "The pieces are falling into place." "In June, Sergei illegally bought 800 grams of uranium in Russia." "A buyer's waiting for it here in Copenhagen." "Who?" " First he wants a deal." " How can we bargain?" " No choice." " He killed four men." "There's lots of highly enriched uranium in the old USSR." "We must find the buyer before he gets it from another source." "On July 19, Leslie had a bikie meeting at his house in Lithuania." "Sergei turned up." "Leslie agreed to arrange couriers via Kaliningrad, Gdansk." "Szczecin, Rostock to Copenhagen." "The final courier... was Darius Petrauskas." "a Lithuanian." "He arrived in Copenhagen as the police arrested Leslie." "He hid the uranium in the harbour area." "made the data card and gave it to Berit, Leslie's girlfriend." "But they'd broken up." "She thought it might be worth something and kept the card." "Darius was missing until yesterday when he was seen at the brothel where his wife works." "You swallowed his story?" "Why didn't Sergei question Darius?" "He only got Darius's name yesterday." "from Palle Pis." " Before he killed him?" " Yes." "The seizure of the uranium has to be kept secret." "When Sergei gives us the name of the buyer we'll take over the deal." "I like it." "What does Sergei get from us?" "Extradition to Russia." "Is he suicidal?" "He'll get death." "He has a deal for the FSB." "Get Mironov from the Russian embassy." "On a Sunday?" "Did you check the box for prints?" " No, not yet." " Get going." "It's my fault." "I forgot to call." "The box is on its way from Risø." "Nazim, you and Michael bring Darius in." " This is going too fast for me." " Me too." "We're talking about U-235 and the Russian security service." "So?" "You know, Intelligence." "Intelligence?" "Hand the case to Søren Straede?" "No way." " Are you ignoring a terrorist angle?" " I'm not ignoring anything." "This is cross-border organised crime." "It's our area of competence." "It's a huge responsibility." "That's what I'm paid for." "We're here to stay." "Is Holsoe in?" " What about the Justice Minister?" " What about her?" "Isn't it her call?" "Yes." "Go to Sergei's hearing at 10 a.m." "So the deal is he serves his time in Russia?" " We're not running a gift shop." " We can't control his conditions." "They could be luxurious if he's valuable to the FSB." " Oh, my!" " They might pardon him." "We can't object to that." "You're talking nonsense." "He could be out in five years." "Shit happens." "I can't bother Mironov on a Sunday for nothing." " Romadinov." " Spelling?" "Bo-ris..." "Ro-ma-di-nov." "Why the hell didn't you say so?" "Okay." "Here he is." "Darius Petrauskas." "born December 11th..." "the devil's birthday... in 1973." "In Lithuania." "Got 4 years and 7 months for drug trafficking and... breach of section 245." "grievous bodily harm." "Expelled from Denmark for life." " Shouldn't we get backup?" " Are you chicken?" "Why so aggressive with Hallgrim?" " Am I?" " Yes." ""It's a cruel world" he said." " No need to sacrifice Palle Pis." " He didn't know." "He could have waited for you to find Sergei." " He's not God." " He usually is." " Why didn't he trust his intuition?" " He's doing his best." "We mustn't become like those we hunt." "Go around the back." "Police!" "Hi, who are you?" " Hi." " I'm digging to China." "I see." "Okay." "Open up, Police." "Relax!" "Are you okay?" "Daddy!" "Did he hurt you, sweetie?" " I'm sorry if I frightened her." " Who are you?" " It's a police raid." " What?" "Police Special Branch." "You should damn well wear badges." "Let's go up to Mum." "Get lost, you sow." "Why don't you close that brothel instead?" "That's enough!" " Does Darius live with you?" " He didn't even hold her." "Now I don't know when I'll see him again." "Please sit down over here." "Leonid Mironov?" "Right." "Where have we met before?" "Opposite the US embassy." "We were watching from adjacent flats." "In 1985." "Yes, we met on the stairs but we never said hi." " No, We could have done so." " Yes." "You always brought snowballs and cola." "Those days are over." "Yes." "At our age we must watch our health." "Sergei gave me a name." "Boris Romadinov." "Romadinov?" "He'll testify against Romadinov?" "Will you talk to your ambassador?" "Romadinov behind bars..." "Even the president would smile." "You'll have my answer in an hour." "Fie Mouse came home with grazes on her knee." "She's so tough." "Hold here." "Isn't she a bit old to be called Fie Mouse?" "Her real name's Sofie." "I see." "I must have heard wrong." "I was called Mickey Mouse till I was 16." "Imagine how embarrassing that was." " Why didn't you get backup?" " Relax." "The SWAT team is standing by." "You told Michael and me to get him." "But not to switch your brains off." "Should I have risked hitting the girl?" " We have to drop the deal." " Why?" "If Darius tells the world where he left the uranium everyone will know we seized it." "Let it leak out that we didn't find anything." " That Darius still has it." " Can we do that?" "I've got unfinished business with Storm." "He's a good messenger for Leslie." "And Leslie... he'll send his cavalry after Darius and we'll have another Palle Pis." "The only good Indian is a dead Indian." "You're so touching when you defend the underdog." "Hello, Storm." "It's Thea Nellemann." "The Justice Minister has asked for a report on the murder of our key witness in Norway." "You may want to read it before I hand it in." "We'll talk when you get this message." "What did Mironov say?" " He was ecstatic." " Good." "Put your mirth on hold." "Is Darius on there?" "So far I've only found your greasy fingers." "I don't like this." "Are you sure there's no radiation?" "There's no uranium." "Know what its half-life is?" "7.4 billion years." " What's that got to do with it?" " It's scary." "It's an empty box." "No uranium." "Say what you want." "It's dangerous stuff." " Being afraid is worse." " I don't want cancer." "Oh, no." "I apologise." "No need." "You'd better be all right." "Hi, Fie Mouse." "Of course I care about you." "You told me that I could go." "I'm not always working, sweetie." "Know what we're doing tomorrow?" "That confirmation dress you want." "We'll get that tomorrow." "Trousers, then." "I don't care." "Fie, I care for you." "Stop that." "Can we talk tonight?" "Okay." "Just call, darling." "Frandsen!" "I've got a match with Darius." "Yes, Storm?" "You're at home, then." "Whenever suits you." "It's a deal." "Bye." " Where's Marie?" " Finishing up at court." "Marie?" " Hi." " Hi, Søren." " You look great." " I feel great." "It's clear to see." "Are you busy?" " Do they still make the best caffe latte?" " Two lattes." "So, you're second-in-command now?" " Congrats." " Thanks." "Nothing less would do." " Thea's not suffocating you?" " No, things are going well." "You can always join Intelligence." "That's a good offer." "What about your deputy?" " He's applied for a job in Greenland." " So?" " It's too dangerous." "Thank you." "How does the Chief of Intelligence assess the current threat level?" " What's the Eagle like?" " Okay." " At what?" " Shut up." "I mean it." "How does it look to you?" " We live in exciting times." " Yes, too exciting." "A lot of hysteria." "Thirty years ago there was the real threat of a mushroom cloud over Copenhagen." "You've gone all serious." "It doesn't suit you." "It is serious." "A mushroom cloud can still happen here." "What if... an Islamic group used 800 grams of enriched uranium to make a bomb?" "Your unit's active?" "You've found enriched uranium?" "Why wasn't I told?" "I see, Thea Nellemann." "I thought you came to see me." " Can I still trust you?" " Yes." "I mean, really trust?" "It's a deal." "Marie Wied's being mutinous." " Storm's on his way." " Good." "I'm still lost." "Why don't we take him on?" "The case would drag on for 18 months and we'd lose anyway." "He's not stupid, just very nervous." "Hi." "Thanks for calling." " I'll have to stand you up." " I see." " I have to meet the minister." " On a Sunday?" " She's serious about this." " It'll take two minutes." "Two minutes." "I've been going over the events again and again." "I'll be withdrawing as Leslie's defence lawyer." " A junior partner will take it on." " Well done." "I'm... as upset as anybody by what happened to your colleague." " A crown witness, too..." " Of course you are." " A tremendous shock." " It was." "On the other hand." "we must be grateful we live in a society that gives defence lawyers a wide scope in their commitment." "And when we go a bit too far." "of course." "we must back-pedal quickly." "The books must be balanced." "Now that you mention Leslie... our investigation indicates that he was cheated by the courier he was delivering something to at the harbour." "I hope I'll remember not to pass that information on to my client." "You have so much on your plate." "You said I could look at the report before it went up the system." "Too late, I'm afraid." "I happen to have heard that..." "Leslie somehow got a small... mobile in his cell." "Michael... 28... 54 09 47." "Ask Marie to get a warrant." "Are we even now?" "About what?" "I promise not to do it any more." "No!" "Of course you won't." "That's it." "I must find a taxi." " I'll give you a lift." " No, I can manage by myself." " I hear you're now a grandma." " Yes, it's time for the christening." "Who gave you this information?" "I'm afraid I can't tell you." "Not good enough, Søren." "What are we waiting for?" "Marie Wied." "Yes." "She must know what she's talking about." " The minister has a visitor." " It's Thea." "Come on." "Hello, Thea." "Thanks for the invitation." "We'd love to come." " Antonia's a lovely name." " It's after my mother." " Have you started smoking again?" " Yes." "A warrant to bug Leslie." " How can he have two women?" " Meaning?" "The man is in isolation." " I don't want to know." " It happens." "You bugged him before we got the warrant?" "You'll get the results tomorrow?" " Will you check my ingrown nail too?" " Not really." " Hi." " Any news from the court?" "Problems?" "No, but I had to get the warrant for the phone tap as well." "Yes." "I was thinking of renting a cottage on the beach." " When?" " When I question Sergei." " If you question him." " When I question him." " It has to be approved." " It will be." "To avoid Sergei's tricks." "Holsoe wants it done here." "Take a look." " Are you expecting guests?" " Indeed I am." " You've been so angry with him." " I can't afford that luxury now." "What about the scent of fresh bread?" "Oh, my..." "No banner saying "Welcome home"?" " No lawyer?" " No, he agreed to that." "Briefing!" "Who has been gossiping to Intelligence?" "Straede went to the minister." "U-235, national security, foreign powers..." "Intelligence want to take the case." " And we'll let them?" " No bloody way." "Sergei's been haunting us for weeks." "Hand him over to that pompous arsehole?" "Like hell we will!" "But I must accept a compromise and cooperate." "Sergei won't be sent back to Russia until he tells us enough to convict him in Denmark." "Who told them?" "Isn't Risø obliged to report it to them?" "I don't know." "I suppose so." " The deal with Sergei?" " The Russians love it." "And so does the minister." "Marie..." "Sorry for badmouthing Straede." " I know he's a friend of yours." " You were right about him." "Hallgrim..." " Leslie's gone for Darius." " I told you so." " Is the interview room ready?" " No." "Hurry." "We support the death penalty now?" " Who did Leslie send?" " His war minister." " Pablo?" " And Werner, the orc." " Their plans?" " To trap Darius at his wife's." "Send a surveillance team." " Whose phone are you on to?" " Pablo's." " If they change plans..." " We'll follow." " Okay." "We're in position." " Good." "Thanks for keeping my name out of it." "Well..." "You didn't?" " She asked a direct question." " She's Thea's friend." "I thought we talked about trust." "We did." "If he wants the cameras off, I'll agree." "Understood." "No, it isn't." "You keep rolling." "Okay." " Fit for a fight?" " Yes." "You'll do him alone?" "That creates trust." "Go easy on him at first." "Sort of "We're in this together."" " I think Hallgrim knows." " Of course." "Good luck." "The Brits and Germans want a copy of the interview." " That okay with you?" " No." "What?" "We don't want half of Europe knowing we're talking to Sergei." "Charming." "Okay." "Something's happening." "A car just pulled up." " They want the wife." " Who does?" "No idea." "She's packed her bags and she's got the baby with her." " How are they treating her?" " Politely." "They're off." " Are you driving?" " Driving?" " Do you think I'm an idiot?" " Do you want an answer?" " Can we go home now?" " No." "The wife's gone." "Darius won't show." "Breathe slowly." "That's it." " Are you afraid?" " Yes." "We're brothers, aren't we?" "Yes." "Sergei..." "Who were you going to sell the uranium to?" "Cain killed Abel." "If you only knew how many times I could have killed you and I didn't do it." "I should have done it." "I'm cold." " Holsoe, get him out." " Delta 1 and 2, go!" "Sergei is wanted all over Europe." "Can you be sure the Germans won't leak the case to the Poles or the French?" "No, I can't." " What if a mole feared being sold out?" " What if?" "What if you'd kept your mouth shut!" "Fine." "We'll take it from here." " What?" " Talk to the minister yourself." "Alice?" "If this isn't cross-border organised crime, then..." "Of course, I understand." "The case has gone to Intelligence." "Paragraph 98, section 2." "Frandsen." "write a preliminary summary." "Tomorrow will do." "I'll do it." "Sergei got what he deserves." "But he won't die right away." "You gave it to Intelligence?" "Yes." "Is that it, then?" " Hi, Hallgrim." " Hi." "You're here?" "They let me come up." "You don't mind?" "Oh, dear..." "You're so skinny." "You work too hard." "Why didn't you call me?" "It was on impulse." "I'm on my way to Berlin." "Rúnar called yesterday and said I could come." "His girlfriend is a curator." "I might get an exhibition." "I'm talking too much." "I haven't talked to a sensible person for 20 years." "Don't misunderstand me." "but you know Mum." "I've brought some presents." "Which one do you want first?" "The best one." "That's usually the last one." "I thought very hard about giving it to you at all." "Fancy that, only the wing broke." "Remember when we gave it to her?" "I'd looked at it in the shop for months." "I bought it in a china shop in Reykjavik." "If you say so." "It was good that you were with Mum." "I never doubted who her favourite was." " It never entered my mind." " Clearly." "I cleaned up after Mum." "There weren't many photos." "But I collected the ones of you." "You're not curious?" "Come on." "I've been pasting for days." "There's that one there." "How sweet you were." "I understand why Mum was so in love with you." "How long are you staying?" " Are you kicking me out?" " No, I'm glad you're here." "Till tomorrow." "Shall I get you a room?" "Can't I sleep here?" "I'll get you a room." "Have you eaten?" "Only on the plane." "What would you like?" "To dance." "I know a good restaurant." "No fish, I promise." "I'll find something more fun." "Isn't it chic?" " As I'm in Copenhagen..." " Yes, you sure are." "If I get that exhibition." "I'll sell the house." "Fine." " You don't approve?" " Yes, it's fine with me." "You're never there anyway." "Shouldn't I..." "get you a bathrobe?" "I've missed you." "my darling brother." "I just wanted to get my toiletries bag." " I'll get it tomorrow." " Fine." "My sister." "She..." "My sister's visiting." "Sergei's been moved to the thoracic surgery ward." " He's critical." " How do you know?" "Oh, yes." "Of course." "Why did you go behind my back?" "I thought we should work with Intelligence." "I tried to get you to see that." "It was... the mushroom cloud over Copenhagen." "Dad had an exhibition on Hiroshima once." "He was an artist." "Christian Wied was your father?" "For months the house was full of photos." "While we ate, we sat looking at... burning children." "It's ridiculous." "I got scared." "I'm really sorry." "Sorry." " This is Johanna, my sister." " Marie." " We work together." " We work together." "We're eating out." "Do you want to join us?" "No, thank you." "Would you get that bag?" " Known each other long?" " No." "Bye." " Did I ruin everything?" " No." "Someone else is waiting in the wings, eh?" "Shouldn't we get room service?" "When Rúnar called... it was just to get me to Berlin to babysit his kid." "I haven't been with a man for 15 years." "Hi, darling Marie." "You look stunning." "Today, we kiss." " You're clear?" " Yes." "The worst fear is fear of fear itself." "We must forgive ourselves if no one else will." "Sounds religious." "Down in the depths." "the devil tempts you to believe in God." "Morning." "Frandsen, didn't Surveillance follow Darius's wife's car?" " Where to?" " A motel in Hillerød." " What about a visit?" " Aren't we off the case?" " She needs to know he's dead." " Of course." " You might as well..." " Ask who picked her up?" "Yes, you could." " You're cheerful today." " The devil invented the internet." "I was sure I had radiation sickness." "I'm so damned pleased." "What I mean is..." "See you." "When Fie Mouse..." "I mean Sofie..." "came home, she was okay." "Why do teenagers have these ups and downs all the time?" "Ditte Mouse, we're off." " Without breakfast?" " Daddy's got it." " Great to see you, Michael." " Are you sick?" " No, I'm bloody good." " Is it true?" "Hallgrim." "Yes, Straede?" "He was hit in the chest cavity." "Severe lesions of the thorax." "Severe internal bleeding." "The bullet lodged near the spine." "They'll leave it there." "It's too risky to remove it." "He's off the respirator so they can assess his paralysis." "What's the prognosis?" "He's stabilised but still critical." "They'll permit a brief interview." "He'll only speak with you." "Alone." "Hey..." "You know Mironov from the Russian embassy." "Leonid Mironov." "I was studying Danish in Leningrad." "You've got a poet." "Tom Christensen." "He wrote..." ""I've yearned for shipwrecks, destruction..." ""and sudden death."" "Do you know that fear, Hallgrim?" "Yes." "It either eats away at you from the inside or... you have to take action." ""Destruction and sudden death."" "It's here now." ""I've yearned for burning cities" ""and human races fleeing." ""For upheavals affecting the whole world" ""and an earthquake they call God's scourge."" "We have to go on living." " The buyer?" " Agim Krashnici." "The Kosovo Albanian?" "Isn't he in South Africa?" "How were you going to contact him?" " Can I see him now?" " You can try." "I've been living in Denmark for 30 years." "I know them." "The Danes are friendly but they think only of themselves." "They'll leave you here to die." "I might get you home to Russia." "to the best clinic there." "Agim Krashnici?" "It rings a bell." "Clan leader, responsible for heroin sales in Scandinavia." "Money for the rebuilding of Kosovo." "Apartments in New York." "Monaco and Johannesburg." "What do we do?" "It's your case." "Not any more." "Right." "We can get to the organisation's heart." "Where did you hide the uranium?" "With the Eagle." "Who?" "Hallgrim Eagle Hallgrimsson." "Did you really think we'd allow you to come home to betray your friends?" "Sergei..." "Sergei!" "Come on, Sergei."
