"The man is about 190 cm tall." "Nanna was still partying at the school." "She may have met this man later." " That's been checked." " What?" "Checked by whom?" "If I say there's nothing in it, that's it." "Something's wrong with her mobile." "Some of the calls have been deleted." "The worst thing is that Buchard was the first to check it." "Maybe we took things too fast with the move to Sweden." "Take care of yourself." "I drive a cab." "I picked her up on Friday." "We stopped once on the way to Groenningen." "In Vester Vold Street behind the Town Hall." " Who's he?" " Holck." "The Moderates' leader and Bremer's man." "Was he there all night?" "Why did he put his coat on?" "In summary, I suggest a broad alliance against Bremer." " Bremer's done a good job." " Nothing works." "Sorry, I don't believe it." "Have you heard he went to Latvia?" "His expense account was red hot." "When it all adds up you don't get on with the government." "We could let it be known that the PM was involved in the project." "The PM might extend a hand." "Talk to the PM." "He's attending some of my meetings." "Not to give me a thrashing..." " It changes nothing." " He was in Latvia." " Can we talk more tonight?" " Sure." "Did Jens Holck leave early?" "Rie Skovgaard here." "I thought we made it clear that..." "Did you see him afterwards?" "What if I say your car was not parked at the school?" " Hello." "Sit here." " No, thanks." "Is this chair free?" "Something happened last summer between her and Theis." "She told you everything." "What shall we do with the account your daughter opened?" " What account?" " There's 11,000 in it." " 11,000?" " I might have given her some extra." "You're free, but stay in town and don't interfere in the case." " When did she start work?" " In January." "She met a guy there." "We found her in a hotel room." "She was very drunk." "Theis took her to casualty." "She promised him she'd break it off." "Leave now." "The Swedish Police know you're ready to work for them." "I'm sorry it had to end like this." "There's a load of goods from Sweden." "The driver needs a receipt." "The Liberal Party has a reception room around there." "130 Store Kongen's Street, 4th floor." "Why?" "We're about to see who drove the car." "I think it's Troels Hartmann." "THE KILLING" "The taxi driver dropped her at Groenningen at 10.45 p.m." "She could have been in the flat five minutes later." "The flat belongs to the Liberals." "They use it for receptions, meetings and guests." "It's used only for business." "It was empty all weekend." "Apparently Nanna had her own keys." "One for the front door and one for this door." "Forensics have found several sets of her fingerprints." "Preliminary tests indicate it's her blood." "She cut herself when she fell through the glass table." "She hit her head on the radiator." "We found blonde hair and blood." "She got up again." "She fought back." "Her prints are on the paperweight." "She threw it and hit the mirror." "We've sent samples to the lab." "We hope to get DNA profiles some time tomorrow." "She fled in here." "She tried to block the door but he kicked it open." "Watch your step." "She was probably raped the first time here shortly after 11 .35 p.m." "She tried to call for help." "At 11 .35 a call was registered on that phone." "He interrupted her before she got through." "He used gloves." "The door, bed and phone have been wiped." "Maybe he kept her here all weekend or took her away that night." "Took her where?" "A secretary worked late that night." "She left at 9 and noticed a black station wagon like the one Troels Hartmann normally drives." "Forensics have established what you already know, that he was filmed in that car." " I want to talk to Lund alone." " Stop this now!" "These private talks..." "I want to be in on things." " It's not what you think." " So how is it?" "You erased a name and deleted calls on her mobile." " No." " So who did?" "I'll call Hartmann in." "Get me those calls or I'll get them myself." "I'll get the information for you." "The group leaders will talk to their base and they'll get back to us tomorrow." " if Holck's with us, the others are too." " What did Lund say about Holck?" "And that car?" "I need to know if he's involved." " I've called the police." " Not good enough." "The last council meeting is in 24 hours." "The alliance must be in the bag by then." "Rie Skovgaard." " Bremer knows what we're up to." " Yes." " He looked deliciously shaken." " Why?" "He'll find a way to get back at us." "I'll pass it on." "Goodbye." " That was the police." " And?" " They want to talk to you." " Now?" "Why?" "They didn't say." "They want you to come now." "About Holck and the car?" "It didn't sound like it." "What else?" "Call and tell them I'm on my way." "Get someone to drive you." " It has to happen in the next few days." " Of course." "If the alliance is going to be of any use then we must go public very soon." " Wait here." " Yes." "The voters must be informed in plenty of time." " I came quickly." "What's it about?" " Sit down in there." "Could we speed it up?" "My time is limited." " I want to talk to you alone." " What is this about?" " Sit down and I'll tell you." " We'd like to know now." " if this is an interrogation..." " Just some clarifying questions." "He's welcome to a solicitor if he needs one." "Why would I?" " It looks like one of our cars." " Any idea who drove it?" "No..." "One of our people?" "If it's important I'll have it checked." "Our technician enhanced the image." "This is how it looks now." "That was after the poster party." "I gave my driver the night off and used one of the campaign cars." " You left the party early?" " Yes, I had a headache." " I had to prepare a speech." " Where did you go?" "Our party has a flat in Store Kongen's Street." "I finished writing the speech there." " What's happened?" " Who has keys to that flat?" "Well, I've got one and..." "And there's a spare set in my drawer in my office." "Why?" " But you use the flat?" " What is this?" "Do you mind telling me what's going on?" "The car you drove is the one Nanna Birk Larsen was found in." "That car was brought back to the Town Hall that same night." " What went on in the flat?" " It can't be that car." "What happened?" "Nothing." "I only spent a couple of hours there." "So did Nanna Birk Larsen." "She had a key." "She was attacked and raped and taken away in the car that same night." "In our flat?" "How long did you know her?" "I didn't know..." "I never met her." "You can't believe I have anything to do with this?" "I..." "I'd had a few beers and I decided to walk home." "When I returned Monday morning to get the car, it was gone." "I presumed our staff had found the keys and taken the car." " They'd been putting posters up." " What did you do?" "Well..." "I left the key on the table." "Someone must have taken it." "Why did you remove the tapes so no one could see who took the car?" "What tapes?" "You wanted your number deleted from her mobile." "What is this?" "Am I a suspect?" "Who were you with that weekend?" " You won't tell us?" " Like hell I will." "It's none of your business." "Good evening." "I'm Lennart Brix, deputy manager." "I understand we have a problem." "Hartmann's told you that he took the car in good faith." "He left the flat before the deceased arrived." "He's willing to inform you about the flat." "And you're welcome to question his staff." "We're not interested in his staff." "If you'd asked nicely you'd have found out he has an alibi." "He left the flat just before 11 o'clock to visit his adviser, Rie Skovgaard." "Who happens to be his girlfriend." "The next day they check in at an all-day conference." "Next time you drag a man like Hartmann in here I advise you to do your homework." "Check his alibi." "Find out if other politicians use that flat." "And we want to question everybody in his office." "Pernille Birk Larsen wants to see you urgently." "Not now." "We can't do anything about Theis's remand." "It can't be that." "Theis was released." "His solicitor got him out." "This is Pernille." "Leave a message and I'll call back." " Hi." " Hello." " Have you seen Pernille?" " When did you get out?" " Just now." " Okay." "Have you seen her?" "Charlotte came to look after the boys but she left again." "Why?" "Then the boys left with Pernille." " Where to?" " I bloody well don't know." " Did you talk to her?" " I thought she went to pick you up." " Tell us about Boils." " It's an exclusive club, members only." "Was Nanna a barmaid?" "She was a waitress." "I kept an eye on her." " Did she like it there?" " She found it exciting and different." " Different?" " To the movers." "How did you find out she was seeing a guy from there?" "She began skipping work and asking for time off." " It seemed innocent enough." " What happened?" "One night she didn't show and I got nervous and called Theis." "We drove around looking for her until a hotel called to say she'd taken a room." "She took a room?" "She'd drunk too much and was tired of everything." "I think the guy had dropped her." " Did she take drugs?" " I don't think so." "And she didn't tell you about the guy?" "I think it was because he was married." "She didn't want to tell me." "She called him Faust." "Faust?" "It wasn't his real name." " Why did she call him Faust?" " I don't know." "This was in the spring and summer and you didn't hear of him after that?" "My sister thought you should know." "We're happy that you came in and you can tell your sister that we appreciate the information but..." "Did she say where she met this Faust?" " In hotels, I think." " Which ones?" "In the beginning it was mostly hotels and then in some flat." " A flat?" " Yes." "She called it ""classy"." "In Store Kongen's Street, I think." "I just wanted to make her happy and help her on her way." "I loved her too, Pernille." "It's Theis." "Please answer it." "You're innocent." "Our solicitor will handle it from here." "How could she have a key to our flat?" "I checked." "Our key to the flat is in the drawer as always." " Not always." "She had a copy." " Meaning?" "Calm down." "Lots of people use the flat." "How could I know if a copy was made?" "You messed up." "I note it in the calendar when anyone uses the key." " I wouldn't know if they make a copy." " Stop, damn it!" "We've got other things to do." "The key is not our only problem." "Some tapes disappeared." "And no matter what, the girl was attacked in our flat." "It doesn't mean that one of ours did it." "It could be a guest or someone who followed the girl." "Nevertheless, we have to defer the alliance." "I won't involve the others." "The police won't risk going public again." "Why should we say anything?" "I won't involve the others." " They'll leave the alliance." " Maybe." "But we wait." "For how long?" "Till after the election?" "Till we're sure of what's going on." "No club member is called Faust." "And no staff member either." " Anyone from Hartmann's office?" " No." "And no one from the Town Hall is a member." "It must be an alias." " Go to the club and ask around." " Where do you think I am?" "Yes, okay." "I can't see a politician jumping around in here." "Maybe he didn't have to." " What do you mean?" " The club has a dating portal." "The arseholes can meet on the internet." "I'll get the technicians to look at it." "Let me know if you find anything." "See you." "Mark?" "Mum?" "My profile:" "A woman whose life is..." "Where's Mark?" "I took him and Magnus to the cinema." " He wanted to stay with Magnus." " Great." " What about you?" " I've just eaten." " Anything else?" " I'm in the middle of something." " Mark talked to his father." " What about?" "He's coming to Copenhagen and wants to see Mark." "Mark didn't know if you'd be in Sweden." "That's okay." "This will drag on a bit." "Yes, we realised that." "The movers' boxes are downstairs." "Your search for Faust found one profile." """To rule the heart is the most difficult of all."" "Good morning, everybody." "I know this is unusual but the police have asked for our help." "They want to talk to you all today." "You'll be called over to the police station one by one." "What's this about?" "I can't tell you." "I've been asked not to give details." "I stress that what you hear today is confidential." "I'm counting on your complete discretion." "Also within these four walls." "Complete discretion." "Thank you for your attention." "You'll be contacted some time today." " Won't we ever get rid of him?" " Not easily." "He's a public servant." "Did you inform the police?" "Yes, they have the calendar with the bookings for the flat." "Give them what they ask for." "The group leaders are coming." "Please reconsider." "I don't have to." "Send them in." " What will you tell them?" " Good morning." "Thanks for yesterday." "Jens, welcome." "Nice to see you." "We're running late." "It's an ultra-exclusive portal for club members." "If you're in the music industry you can meet others." "Like attracts like." "Are any of the profiles on Hartmann's staff list?" "No." "It's a very sleazy site." "Everybody's got an alias like Faust." "But Faust has been busy." "He created his profile a year ago." "He's been dating heaps of women." "He invites them to expensive hotels." " Hilton, Skagen..." " No personal details?" "No, but... in April he contacted a profile calling herself NBL." " Nanna Birk Larsen." " They met." "They corresponded throughout spring but stopped in summer." "Faust wrote but NBL didn't reply." "Nothing to tell us who Faust is?" "Not directly, but I checked the portal's log files." "He logged in at the Liberals' flat or used Town Hall's wireless network." " I can't get any closer." " And the other women he dated?" " I'll check." " Hartmann's alibi is sound." "He was at a conference from Saturday to Sunday night." "Start interviewing the Town Hall staff." "Okay." "Lennart Brix is waiting in your office." " Let Buchard deal with it." " He's not here." "Management want me to talk to you." "Someone's been negligent in the Nanna case." "Negligent?" "I understand some phone calls slipped out of the system." "An investigation will take place." "Here's a warrant for the phone company's records." " Buchard's looking after that." " He's gone." "He'll only be back to get his things." "Buchard is on leave while his negligence is investigated." "I doubt he'll be back before he retires." "We'll manage." "I understand that Buchard wasn't alone in his negligence." "Come here." "The Swedish Police are expecting you and I expect you to finish the job without any trouble." "From now on you answer to me." " The boys are asking about the rosters." " Talk to Pernille." " When is she coming?" " I don't know." "Did the police mention anything about... us going to court?" "No." "The rosters are in the top drawer." "I spoke to Charlotte." "I should have told you." "I know that." "Something was wrong but you kept quiet." "You knew she was in deep shit but you didn't tell me." " Why not?" " She asked me not to." "She didn't want to upset you." " She didn't want to upset me?" " No." "She knew she could tell me anything." "She promised she would work for us." "She promised..." "She promised... to look after her school work but she got tired of it." "She promised me she'd pull herself together." "I had to trust her." " Anything else you haven't told me?" " No." "Come on." "There must be more lies I don't know about." "There aren't." "There's nothing more." "She knew she'd done something wrong." "I didn't think she had to hear it from you too." " My main concern was the school." " It was more than that." "There was a reason she called me." "You didn't allow her to make mistakes like you did." "Don't talk about mistakes to me." "Pernille..." "I'm happy with the basics of the alliance." " Written by a Liberal!" " When shall we go public?" " After tonight's meeting." " I think we should defer going public." "Of course I'm very happy about your feedback but it's important not to be too hasty." "Let's spend some time working on the details of the alliance." " What the hell are you on about?" " This will be scrutinised." "We must know exactly where we stand on all points." "But we must state that we agree on getting rid of Bremer." " I concur." " I spent all night convincing my group." "I discussed it with the government." " Why don't we move, then?" " We will." "We must discuss it so there are no surprises." " Holck here." " The voters must be informed." "They'll have time enough but we must be better prepared." " We agree on everything." " And we will tomorrow." "Troels, do you have a minute?" "Bremer's changed the agenda for tonight's meeting." "Three topics... the harbour tunnel, tolls and injecting rooms." " Of course." " All things we're arguing about." "He wants the public to think we don't agree on anything." " We must be united now." " Those topics are too divisive." "It was your idea." "I put my arse on the line for this." "I fought to convince my group." "What if I can't deliver?" " It's only a few days." " Stop that." "We must press for the alliance tonight." "We must show unity in front of Bremer." "And you lead." "Or don't count on me in the future." " You were never in the flat?" " No." "It belongs to the Party." "I'm only a public servant." "What is this?" "Did any politician use the flat after the party?" " No." "But I'm not the one to ask." " Why not?" " I'm in the school administration." " With access to Hartmann's office?" "It happens, yes." "But he's not the inclusive type." "What is this?" "Does the name Faust mean anything to you?" " He sold his soul to the devil." " Anyone at Town Hall by that name?" "No, but some could fit that description." "Just a sec." "We've found a woman who corresponded with Faust." "I'm coming." " I presume I'm done here?" " Wait for my colleague to take over." "Thanks." " How are you?" " I'm going home tomorrow." " Do you want coffee?" " No, thanks." "Any news?" "No." "I don't think so." "I heard you're not pressing charges." "Why not?" "Because I lied to you." "She did come by that night." "Only briefly, but she was there." "I thought it was my wife on the phone." "She's due any moment now." "I'm sorry." "If I can do anything for you all you have to do is ask." "Look at me, Mum!" "Are you okay?" "We've got doughnuts and hot cocoa." "You're free to help yourselves." "Excuse me." " Nete Stjernfeldt?" " Yes." " Jan Meyer, CID." " Sarah Lund." "Your office told us we could find you here." "Yes?" "We'd like to ask you about a person you had contact with via a dating site last winter." " We have some questions." " What's this?" " You are?" " Her husband." " We need to talk to your wife." " Is there a problem?" "Not really." "She may have seen something." "You might like to stay with your guests." "We won't be long." " Come with us." " Take this." "What are you talking about?" " You've never used a dating site?" " No way." "You've never met or chatted with a person called Faust?" "A person calling herself Fanny Hill had online chats with Faust from a computer at your address." "It's nothing criminal, but is that you?" "It isn't." "I don't know what you're talking about." "On December 1 4, Fanny Hill made a date with Faust." """Same time, same place." Sound familiar?" "Not at all." "I don't know who wrote that." "It's my son's birthday." "I have to go now." "Did you meet in the flat in the city?" "What the hell are you talking about?" "I don't know..." " We just need to know who Faust is." " Leave me alone." " What the hell's going on." " I don't know." "Talk to my wife at her office." "Don't come around here and ruin my son's birthday." "I'll try to find some more evidence from the flat." "Follow her." "We need to talk to her when she's alone." "We've disagreed on these points for years." " How could we reach unity?" " We'll talk to them again." "You must be clear about your agenda." "We'll establish some committees." "The groups can agree on further investigations." "By tonight?" "Bremer is trying to demonstrate your disunity." "Could the groups agree to bend their principles?" " Hi, Rie." " Hi." "And your principles?" "It's your credibility." "Work something out." "Solve the problem." " Any news?" " I think the police are stuck." " The staff didn't help?" " It doesn't look like it." "Suspects?" "They're asking about politicians and someone called Faust." " Faust?" " They think he's connected to the girl." "If you ask me, they don't know anything." " Sure they said Faust?" " Quite sure." "Why?" "I've got it." "See here." "The Municipal Administration Law." " Do you know a Faust?" " No." "There's a section about agendas." "Centre of the page." "Don't forget your school bags." "And your toothbrushes." " ls Dad coming?" " No, he's working." " Hi, Dad." " Hi, kids." "Hi." "You too?" " Do you have to work?" " Yes, but I'll join you later." " Can we talk?" " We're late for dinner." "It won't take long." "Give me that and go and play." "Ever since I met you..." "No one knows me better than you." "I know I... I have..." "We must be able to..." "Without you I don't know..." "I'll do anything as long as you stay." "Don't go." "Welcome to the last meeting before the election." "We have a tight program so let's get started." "You're all familiar with the agenda." "I draw your attention to items 10, 11 and 12." "This is our last chance to cast light on some matters that we have discussed at length lately." "They are the harbour tunnel, tolls and injecting rooms." "We do owe it to the voters to be clear about where each individual party stands." "Let's start with the first item on the agenda..." "May I speak?" "May I mention the first item before Hartmann interjects?" "I have the right to speak when a new agenda is introduced." "Very well." "Troels Hartmann has the floor." "Thank you." "Thank you for this new agenda." "Several items are overdue." "One gets the impression that the lord mayor has woken up." "For ages several of these items have been shelved by him." "Is the lord mayor now interested in solving the city's problems?" "Rather than looking after number one?" "What utter nonsense." "Let's drop all this legalistic babble." "Allow me to be legalistic a bit longer." " The new agenda is not legal." " I beg your pardon?" "The law says clearly that amendments to the agenda must be verified at least four days prior to the meeting." " That didn't happen." " We always do this." "Yes, but perhaps we should stop doing it." "You could say this is a petty matter to object to but you could also say that... this is typical of how the lord mayor has ruled for twelve years." "For twelve years we have tolerated this form of baiting." "How can an individual object to what borders on dictatorship?" "The question is..." "should we go on tolerating it?" "This new agenda requires us to argue and discuss issues in record time in an attempt to solve problems that we all know require peace, consideration and preparation to solve." "Is that fair?" "I move for a vote on whether or not we accept this snide insult from the lord mayor." "Thank you." "It's out of the question." "We need to find the women he dated and met." "Find them." "We must know who he is." "Call when you've got something." "Buchard!" "I put the information from the phone company on your desk." "It was a prepaid phone card." "It's expired now." "We can't trace it." " And the deleted name?" " I never saw it." "Why are you taking this?" "Either I would have been made the scapegoat or I could accept a retrenchment payout." "36 years of service and now I have to take this shit." "Good luck." "Who told you to bury the information?" "If it was Faust's number they deleted we'll never find it." "We need another lead." "The flat?" " Hartmann's prints are everywhere." " But he has an alibi." "What else?" "We've got a lot." "Saliva, hair and prints everywhere." "DNA?" "Nothing that's in the register." "It's useless without a suspect." " The other women Faust dated?" " They can't find any information." "But there's something else." "I re-checked the town hall interviews." "There's nothing incriminating other than from this guy." "Olav Christensen..." " I talked with him." " Hartmann denied him a promotion." "He took revenge by removing the staff file we asked for." "He was found out and Hartmann is investigating him." " Not him." " Why not?" "Why delete calls from an unimportant public servant?" " You're right." "I'm lost." " I'll talk to the lawyers." "Maybe we can pressure Stjernfeldt to testify." " Lund, are you busy?" " Yes, very." "We checked for women who went missing in the last decade." "I'm busy now." "See you." "Some women disappeared without a trace." "They appear unrelated but..." "Can we do this later?" "Yes." "I love my husband." "He was away more than 200 days last year." " I missed being with someone." " You opened a dating profile?" "My girlfriend told me about it." "It was just for a laugh." "I didn't mean to go through with it." "I got a lot of responses but none caught my eye." " But one of them was different." " Different, how?" "Attentive." "He listened to me." "We were on the same wavelength." " So you met him?" " I didn't want an affair." "But you met him several times?" "I thought I could control it but after one meeting, it... I was ready to give it all up." "He wasn't interested in a relationship and he stopped writing to me." "You haven't seen him since?" "It might sound stupid but he saved my marriage." "I'm not interested in your marriage." " I want to know who Faust is." " Why do you want to know?" "Just tell us." " I have nothing bad to say..." " Just tell us, damn it." "Who is Faust?" "Well..." "We'll now vote on the adoption of the new agenda." "You can vote yes... or no if anyone has the need to do that." "You may vote now." "Yes." "12 voted yes." "28 voted no." "And that means that the new agenda... has been defeated." "We'll continue with the original agenda." "Item one is..." "Troels Hartmann, someone wants to talk to you." " Now?" " Yes." "It's the CID." " I'm busy." "This must wait." " Come voluntarily or we'll arrest you." "I'll read you your rights." "You have the right to a solicitor and I suggest you call one."
