"I should have interviewed him at Police HQ." "It's irritating that we can't change the past." " What's with you and Marie?" " Nothing." " Did she go to Intelligence?" " Yes." "Please sit down over here." "Who knew we were talking to Sergei?" "Apart from the Brits and the others." " Where's the uranium?" " With the Eagle." " Who's the buyer?" " Agim Krashnici." "Agim Krashnici is a big shot." "How do we get in?" "Through that door." "Today at 2 p.m." "Me?" " Do I look like a Paki?" " A bit." " You're not keen?" " Cut it out." "Look for the man under the mirror." "Say "Sorry, wrong place."" " Then wait outside." " What if he doesn't come out?" "He will." "Sergei says he's been waiting for that line for three weeks." "He'll come outside." "He'll say "You've got something for me."" "Show him the cylinder." "but say you'll only deal with Agim." "When he's checked with Agim." "he'll call you on this phone." "Okay." " It sounds easy enough." " It is." "They're watching your back." "He's in severe pain." "He won't hear of morphine." "Today he said it's a beautiful day to die." "He's close?" "Not necessarily, but when a patient talks like that it usually happens." " No painkillers?" " I won't die sedated." "Sad, but not sedated." " Did you find Charlotte?" " She's in remand." "I'd like to see her." "I'll try." "When Grandma died." "we were all there." "No matter... how many are there." "we die alone." "Just as we live alone." "The sooner you realise it the better." "The international match." "40.000 spectators." " Russia versus Denmark." " At the Park?" "On Monday?" "Why are you talking about football?" " Agim is evil." " It happens on Monday?" "I'll see you soon." "In Hades." "THE EAGLE a crime odyssey" "It seems my deputy took that job." "So I should apply?" "It's from a very reliable source." "Marie!" "Sergei wants to see Charlotte." "Can you arrange it?" " Should we expose her to that?" " What?" " She feels she's betrayed him." " He's forgiven her." "Is he capable of... forgiveness?" "Something might go down at the match on Monday at the Park." "We've got the uranium." "Charlotte is our last chance to find out." " Will you do it or not?" " Yes." " Got anything?" " I can't decipher a thing." "That bloody radio ruins it and it's a shitty camera too." "Have a look at this." "Watch his mouth." "Hallgrim Eagle Hallgrimsson." " Why would he say your name?" " Two possibilities." "He's innocently saying who I am or if it's nasty..." "Mironov's asked him who has the uranium." "The nasty one means Mironov's involved." " Is it a trap?" " Shall I find someone else?" "What's the alternative?" "Monday at the Park?" "We're moving." "Is Agim going to detonate a dirty bomb?" " If not worse." " A small A-bomb?" "Can he?" "Perhaps." " A Kosovo Albanian, Muslim." " Unlimited resources." " Why wasn't I told?" " You just were." " Yes, 20 minutes later." " Have you got anything on Mironov?" " Why?" " He may be involved." "I doubt it." "He's an old KGB man." "He's enjoying his cushy post here before he retires." " Charlotte will see Sergei." " I'll meet her there." " She's his ex." "They might talk." " Some exes do." "Thank God for that." "We're ready." "But without radios this time." " We'll be in constant contact?" " Yes." " Did Elena say who picked her up?" " I blew it." "They've taken her and the kid to a hotel down south." " You did your best." " To ruin it." "She's an illegal migrant." "I threatened her and she clammed up." "We know she's still out there." "Ditte and I will get her to talk." "Thanks, it's fine." " Hallgrimsson." " Charlotte." "Thanks for..." "Come this way." "He's in a bad way." "He won't take morphine." "Of course not." "It's very painful when the organs shut down one by one." "We must be awake when we go." "Something to do with karma." "May I go in alone?" "Charlotte..." "Sergei mentioned the Russia-Denmark match." " Something's going on." " You people are not human." " It's important he tells you." " Football?" "Sergei's mad about football." "He wants the best seat in the house." "Will you try?" "I just want to say goodbye to the man I love." "Yes, of course." "It's over." " Is he alone?" " No, we're there with two armed units." " Where?" " There's one of them." "Command to Alpha and Bravo." "Stand by." "He's going in." "Sorry." "I've come to the wrong place." "That's that part." "Hello." "You've got something for me?" "I don't think so." " It's for Agim." " Agim?" "Agim who?" "The best curry in town." "805 grams." " I'll see what I can do." " I want an introduction." "What's your number?" "28 54..." " What are you doing?" " Smile, my friend." "28 54... 09 44." "Bye." "Command here." "Bravo follow Nazim, Delta stand by." "Freeze." "Is he known to us?" " Tail him?" " No." " Why not?" " We might blow it all." "He's in the big league." "Agim Krashnici is number 10 on the European Crime Top 100." "Sergei was 52." "Agim controls 40% of the heroin market in Scandinavia." "Some sales." "It'd have to be laundered." "A Czech chemical plant and vineyards in South Africa." "Nightclubs and strip joints all over Europe." "For a devout Muslim." "he owns a lot of brothels." "I'm not happy he took that photo." "No." "But they've got it now." " Yes?" " Hello, Agim." "It was worth waiting for." "Oh, yes." "Thank you." " My brother-in-law has tickets." " Don't talk about it right now." "Okay." "Elena Petrauskas." "born 18 March 1983 in Utena, Lithuania." "Mother is a police officer." "No dad." "Married Darius in 2001." "Expelled from Denmark in 2003 after a raid on a Hobro brothel." "There's more." "Sold when pregnant to a brothel by Darius." "She didn't know." "Some clients pay extra for that." " I wish we could help her." " We can if she helps us." " And if not?" " She ends up in a new brothel." "Turn left here." "Did you know Hallgrim before this job?" " No." " Frandsen says he has two ex-wives." "He's had something going with a Swedish stewardess for years." "He's cute but I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole." "What about you?" "I've never thought about it." "Elena's gone." "We're following her to the train station." "Turn there." " Drive like the devil." " Why?" "It's a respiratory virus." "Axel had it too." "Is her father in Denmark?" "Mironov?" "Are you sure?" "Okay." "I'll try." " You'd never tell." " I can." " It's old and it's blurry." " What do you think?" "If Hallgrim thinks..." "What do you think?" "That's him." "9.30 tomorrow night at a nightclub." "Scheherazade." " Where's that?" " In Oslo." " You know of the Vienna Convention?" " This concerns a family member." " Who?" "What's happened?" " Elena Petrauskas." "She's a prostitute." " She says you're her dad." " So she says." "It isn't true?" "It is." "Her baby's ill." "She wants you to visit her." " Well?" " What shall I tell her?" "Of course I will." "She knocked on our door six months ago." "I'd known about her all along." "Her mother and I..." "It's a long time ago." "My wife did try to help Elena as much as she could." "It was impossible." "She was a prostitute before she left Vilnius." "The door to the past doesn't open without creaking, does it?" "No." "Sergei Varsjinskij died this morning." "Even if he did create hell on earth." "I'll pray that he doesn't end up there." "I'm getting dizzy from this." "Mr Krashnici will pay us and Scheherazade a visit." "It will be hard to cover." "Here comes Security." "You asked who could build a bomb like that in Norway." "Ilyas Akajev." "professor of nuclear physics." "Formerly held a top job in the Soviet nuclear industry." "Originally from Chechnya." "granted asylum in Norway in 1996." "Now a taxi driver." "Does he have extremist contacts?" "He's been under surveillance since he arrived." " Has he contacted Agim?" " No." " I'll fax it to you." " Thanks." "Bring Akajev's file up." "Ask Intelligence about him." "Why don't the Norwegians detain him till Tuesday?" "Ours is a bum job." "We have to uphold the law." "Who is he?" "The man in Norway who may have the expertise to build the bomb." "Hallgrim..." "Søren told me his deputy is moving to Greenland." " Congratulations." " I haven't decided." "Oh." " I've got two weeks." " Do what's right for you." "You know what's right for you." "Did you get anything out of Elena?" "We took her very sick child to the hospital." "I'll see her tomorrow." "The crisis has passed." " Know what?" " No." "We're getting pissed out of our brains before Norway." " I'm having dinner with Johanna." " Ah... your sister." " Why can't I meet her?" " Because you're getting pissed." "Johanna?" "I'm sorry." "It's Hallgrimsson." "Sorry for calling so late." "I had a slightly older friend." "His name was Finn." "He was a bit of a sissy." "We used to play on the cliffs." "It was forbidden." "We found two ropes that the men used for collecting eggs." "Finn was afraid but I climbed down." "I called out to him." "He took the other rope." "He got over the edge and slipped." "He fell onto a ledge." "He didn't move." "I couldn't..." "I couldn't reach him." "I climbed up and ran the long way home." "Mum was hanging the washing out." "She saw that I'd been on the cliffs." "She slapped me." "I didn't dare say he was down there." "She walked off." "I pulled the washing down." "I tried to hang it up again." "It was all muddy." "I was sent to bed." "I wanted to tell her but..." "That night, it was 1973." "Eldfell erupted." "The whole island was evacuated." " What became of Finn?" " I don't know." "We moved back later that summer." " Did you try to find him?" " No." "I forgot about him." "Is that possible?" "It's not so strange." "You felt guilty." "So much pain can be hard for a little child to handle." "You don't need to feel guilty." " Why not?" " Think about it." "You know." "Tell me." "Little boys don't vanish." "Your mum would have known." "She'd have told you." "Perhaps." "She tried to tell me to forgive her." "That I should forgive her silence." "Before she died." "Well, we can find out if Finn survived." "What happens when you tell that story?" " What do you mean?" " Do you feel relieved?" "No." "My bosses gave me hell." "It's too dangerous." "You're a brave man." "We've changed it." "Hallgrim's going." " Fine." " What?" " But they've got your photo." " Lucky you." "I had a very cosy night." "The neighbours said their son blew 50.000 on their credit card." "Heroin." "Nice family." "We've known them forever." "Nice kid." "Dad was furious, Mum was crying." "Scheherazade..." "Great place to start out as a junkie." "Decided on a price?" "The going rate." " Which is?" " 80 kilos of Albanian Lady." "112 million?" "That's cheap." "We thought of 100 kilos." "but 80 is okay." "We must know what it's for." "It will be a pleasure to crucify that Agim." "The neighbours' son claims he's not a junkie." "He only smokes it." " Yes?" " Hi." "I'll be brief." "Ditte and I overheard Elena and Mironov talking." "Mironov's behind Sergei's murder." "She claimed to have proof." "If that holds water." "it's enough to alert the Foreign Ministry and get him expelled but..." "Yes?" " It's better to monitor him." " Yes." "It's sensitive because he's a diplomat." "Could Thea find a solution?" "Yes." " Thanks for calling." " You're welcome." "That was a long goodbye."

"Didn't you lecture at Copenhagen University in the 80s?" "Yes." "Good grief." "I was there, but not at your level." "I was a student." "I dreamt of being a nuclear physicist." "Prometheus giving fire back to man." "Prometheus!" "Now I record music." "Classical music." "I arrange and conduct small ensembles." "Is it good?" "It's a lot of travelling." "Every day a new city."

"Every night an eagle hacked away at his liver." "Prometheus created man out of clay and water and he gave each of us the soul of an animal." "That's right." "The Americans think that story is an excuse for acting like pigs." "They dominate the whole music industry." "Isn't it the same everywhere?" "Want to see the Munch Museum?" " There's no doubt he's a fanatical Muslim." " Which means?" " He wants an Islamic state." " By any means." " Or democratic means." " Not him, I assure you." "We can't film inside."

"No one's seen him before." "Fine." " Where the hell is he going now?" " Cafe Tivoli, Town Hall in 10." "We can't cover that in time." " Wait." "Let's see what happens." " Go to Cafe Tivoli." "Now!" "Mironov called a mobile in Norway to say "The Danish curry is rotten."" " Shit!" " Are you ready?" "It's too far." "It's not enough." "Get out!" "Nazim, get out now!" "What the hell are you doing?" " Did you consider my offer?" " It's tempting." "Be smart and send me a signal by tonight." "Clever of Hallgrim." "that Agim business." "If only he'd got hold of him." "Now that door is closed." "Maybe." " Meaning?" " Don't underestimate Hallgrim." "Do you have a weakness for him?" "The Eagle?" "Five days to the big game." "It's up to us now." "Hi, Søren, Have a look at this." "It's a scandal." "I have diplomatic immunity." "At 9.43 last night you rang Agim Krashnici." " More scandal." "You're tapping my phone?" " No." "We're tapping Agim's phone." "He's a wanted man and your phone rang his." "You said the police had the uranium." " I did no such thing." " Shall I play it back?" "You also offered Agim a new batch of uranium." "Romadinov... the great oligarch." "You said the president would smile if Sergei testified against Romadinov." "You were a guest on Romadinov's yacht in the Greek archipelago." "With half of Hollywood and two European prime ministers." "Yes, it was big enough." "300 feet long, two pools and a helipad." "Money corrupts when you don't have it." "You ensured Sergei didn't testify against Romadinov." " That's pure spin." " Is it?" "Your daughter Elena claims that you ordered Sergei's murder." " Where is Elena?" " Under our protection." "Coffee?" "People like us are faithful servants of the state." "And what do we get?" "A two-room flat outside Moscow." " You're expelling me?" " Yes." "I won't survive." "You will..." "if you co-operate with the FSB." "You don't know Russia." "No one knows Russia." "There are merely degrees of ignorance." "Apply for asylum in Denmark." " Why would I get it?" " Tell us about the bomb." "Bomb..." "You said "Hello, kid." To Agim." "When you called him." "Yes." "That's what he is to me." "The lucky kid." "I was an attaché in Belgrade then." "He was only a boy but already rich and very generous." "The Park on Monday." "Or were you planning to be away?" "No." " You live nearby." " There's money in people's fear." "There won't be any bomb." "Why did Agim want the uranium?" "We'll take you to the airport." "Our ministry and your embassy know." "Your wife must find her own way home." "A video tape." "A laboratory with all the authentic instruments." "Uranium." "And Ilyas Akajev." "He was a great man." "A dreamer." "He wanted to become immortal by building a bomb for Islam." "It will take years." "Agim laughed his arse off when he told him." "Blackmail?" "Agim enjoys life." "A bomb would send him deep into the caves of Afghanistan." "How?" "The Danish government will get a video tape and a demand for 500 million kroner." "50 of them were for me." "I'd like my coffee now." " Or a beer?" " Yes, please." "Would we have gone along with that?" "If you give in to fear you lose perspective." "If we'd received a tape showing a lab with contamination monitors and all that." "and Ilyas Akajev with a Geiger counter proving he had a batch of enriched uranium..." " What do you think, Søren?" " Well..." "We might have believed it." "Your angry little man did well." "He's good." "Perhaps he'd like to join Intelligence too." "Too?" "Thanks for the show." "It's good that you got Elena's statement in writing." "This way no one can accuse us of bribery." "It means witness protection." "That was the idea." " Well done." " Thanks." "I hear Søren's deputy is transferring to Greenland." "Oh?" "Is that news to you?" " No, now you mention it." " What do you want?" " I don't know." " Make up your mind." "Going behind my back is one thing..." "Shut up!" "I made mistakes when I was young." "But you can't stay here unless you are 100 per cent loyal." "I'd like to stay, then." "Fine." "We won't speak about it again." "Hi." "What the hell?" "Does it always rain in Oslo?" " Where are we going?" " To Central Station." "It's not so far." "It'll be 100 kroner." "60." " Shall we bid again?" " 80." " You're finished here already?" " Yes." "I called my wife to tell her I'd met you." "She couldn't believe you were driving a taxi in Oslo." "One of the world's greatest scientists." "Isn't life unfair?" "Don't you ever miss..." "your research?" "No." "I appreciate the guided tour yesterday." "I've got something for you." "It's a personal copy of one of my recordings." "Beethoven's Prometheus Overture," "Die Geschöpfe des Prometheus?" "Thank you." " Do you know it?" " Of course." "But not your rendition." " Shall we hear it?" " Please." "We're here." " Beautiful." " Thanks." " Thanks." " You're welcome." " Thanks for the ride." " Pleasure." " Regards to your wife." " Thanks." "Take care." "Ilyas Akajev, He was a great man," "A dreamer," "He dreamed of becoming immortal by building a bomb for Islam," "It will take years," "Agim laughed his arse off when he told him," "We can't lose him." "He's meeting Agim outside Oslo." "We've got him on the GPS." "When Agim's inside we'll grab them." "We're over here." "He's on his way in." "Get ready." "Why is he shaving?" "Get everybody out." " What?" " Why is he shaving?" "He's preparing for Paradise." "Clear the area." "At once!" "Hi." " What do you want?" " Calm down." "Ilyas Akajev, He was a great man," "A dreamer," "He dreamed of becoming immortal by building a bomb for Islam," "It will take years," "Agim laughed his arse off when he told him," "We've got a preliminary report from Forensics." " Don't get up." " I actually liked him." "Akajev?" "Even if his bomb would have killed thousands?" "You have a point." "Shall we have a drink?" "Or five?" "I have to go." "It's too dangerous here." "I love you."
