"Apparently Nanna had her own key." "The technicians have identified several of her prints." "Blond hairs in the copious amount of blood on the radiator." "She was raped here." "The final meeting is in 24 hours." "The alliance has to be in the bag." " The police want to talk to you." " What's the problem?" "It looks like a campaign car." " Any idea who drove it?" " The technician enlarged the picture." "Our party has a flat in Store Kongensgade." "I went there." "The car you drove was the one that Nanna was found in." " What the hell is this?" " Lennart Brix, Deputy Chief." "If you had asked, you'd have found out that Hartmann has an alibi." "He left the flat before 11 p.m. To visit his advisor, Rie Skovgaard." "The next morning they checked in at the conference centre." "How can the girl have had a key?" "It's always in the drawer." "Apparently not always." "Lots of people use the flat." "Stop it, for fuck's sake." "The girl was molested in our flat." " Have you seen Pernille?" " When were you released?" "You didn't tell me anything." "You knew she worked with Charlotte, and you didn't tell me." "I'll do anything as long as you stay." "Don't leave me." "Mark?" "Mum?" "Mark talked to his father today." "He's coming to Copenhagen." "Good morning." "The police need our help." "They want to interview everyone." "What about?" "I went through the interviews again." "Olav Christensen..." "It's a nightclub for members." "What about Nanna's boyfriend?" "She wouldn't tell me his name." "She called him Faust." "They asked if we had a Faust in the office." " Do you know anyone by that name?" " No, no." "It's an exclusive portal for the club members." "They all use aliases." "In April Faust contacts a profile called NBL." "Can you trace the other women he's dated?" "Look, Mum." "Nethe Stjernfeldt?" " You created a profile." " I wasn't looking for an affair." " Yet met him." " Why do you want to know?" "Tell us who he is." "Welcome to our final meeting." "Troels Hartmann, someone wants to talk to you." "CID." "Come along, or we'll arrest you." "You have the right to an attorney." "If you ask me, call him now." "THE KILLING" " What the hell is going on?" " Contact your attorney." " I want to talk to your superior." " He's gone for the day." "Complain all you want tomorrow." " First you'll be questioned." " Questioned?" "There's new evidence." "You'll be questioned under caution." "Am I a suspect?" "In a murder case?" "A witness has come forward." "That's all I can say right now." "Do you have any idea what you've done?" "THURSDAY 13 NOVEMBER 9:30 P.M." "I got here as soon as I could." "I got a brief update." " I have to get out of here." " You'll be questioned first." "I won't tolerate this." "It's seems more serious than I thought." "They have e-mails that can be traced back to you." "What business is that of theirs?" "Nethe Stjernfeldt claims to have had sexual relations with you." "She has identified you as the man behind the profile who also met with Nanna Birk Larsen." "What do you have to say?" "I told them what I know." "I don't have to make a statement." "It's about controlling the damage." "There is a heavy burden of proof." "They have a good case." "It's important to tell them your side of the story." "They aren't interested." "It's the third time they're trying to pin it on me." "I talked to Rie Skovgaard about taking legal action." "This is unheard of." "But you have to talk to them first." "What's the big idea?" "Are we supposed to wait around all night?" " Let's go in." " Okay." "No, I don't have any comments." "I'm hanging up now." "We thought it was the right thing to do." "Picking up Hartmann during a city council meeting without asking me?" "We're following a lead." "Picking up a suspect is our job." " Why couldn't it wait?" " Hartmann is Faust." "He drove the car." "Unless he decides to stick to his alibi and his attorney waives his right not to make a statement." "Very impressive." "We're ready." "Troels Hartmann has agreed to be questioned." "My wife died two years ago." "It was very quick." "For a while I kept to myself." "One day I got some material from a newly opened nightclub that advertised a dating portal, and I created a profile." "Under what name?" "Faust." "Why did you chose Faust?" "Because of a book I had lying out." "How many women did you meet through the site?" "That can't have anything to do with this." "More than ten, less the twenty." "It's not something I'm proud of." "You're in the public eye." "Where did you meet with them?" "I rarely met them more than one time in public." "My driver picked them up." " Where did you meet?" " Mostly in our party's flat." "Could you tell us more about that?" "About what happened there?" " None of your business." " It is." "Nanna Birk Larsen was molested and raped there." "I told you that I never met her." "Let me refresh your memory." "We have print-outs from your e-mail box and hers." "Take a look at them." "In April you contacted her profile for the first time." "The correspondence continued until a few weeks before her death." "I didn't write this." "This was over six months after I stopped using the site." "I met my girlfriend, Rie Skovgaard." "Then I put all this behind me." " You claim you didn't write this." " Exactly." "Anyone could have hacked into his e-mail." " All you need is a password." " And access to the flat." "I admit I created the profile." "I don't know who wrote this, or how they got into the flat." "Obviously someone used my password and pretended to be me." "My client has an alibi." "He was with Rie Skovgaard and therefore he can't be considered a suspect." "What's the probability of someone using his dating profile?" "Virtually non-existent." "You have to have the password." "And the computer that was used is the one in the party's flat." " What do you think?" " We won't get more out of him now." "We need a court order to get his phone records." "And finish up in the flat and do a reconstruction." "Keep me posted." "And don't do anything without clearing it with me first." "I'm the only one who talks to the press." "Let him go." "We need to talk to Rie Skovgaard." "And the conference centre." "Who has confirmed that the two of them were there?" "According to reception, they checked in at 9 a.m. On Saturday." "They rented a room and a large conference room." " How did they check in?" " With Skovgaard's credit card." "Apart from Skovgaard, who saw Hartmann?" "I'll have someone look into it." "We have to call Birk Larsen." "Hi, Mum." "I'll call you back." "And I'll be late." "Don't talk to Mark about Bengt and Sweden." " I'll do that myself." " Okay." "His father is here." "Carsten?" "If you want to see him, you'd better hurry." " No previous experience?" " No." "Neither of you has seen a psychologist or been in therapy?" "Having a child together establishes a very strong connection." "So losing the child has great consequences for the relationship." "It's not our relationship that I'm worried about right now." "What are you worried about?" "There's nothing you can do to solve the case." "You have each other and your children." "I know what's best for my children." "This pamphlet can give you an idea of what counselling can offer." "I recommend our grief counselling groups." "It can be a helpful to talk to others..." "Thanks for the offer, but we have other problems..." "It's not an offer." "The police and social services demand it after the episode with the teacher." "She said the grief counselling group had a meeting tomorrow." "What did the police say?" "That we should know that the papers would write about the politician." " Did they say what they had on him?" " No." "They won't tell you more than that." "This is Sarah Lund." "I'm sorry interrupted a meeting of the Copenhagen city council." "Mayor candidate Troels Hartmann was taken in for questioning..." "Mum..." "Mum, I can't sleep." "New evidence was found in the party's flat in the case of 19-year-old Nanna Birk Larsen." "Nanna Birk Larsen was found dead in one of Hartmann's campaign cars." "How did it go at the station?" "My father's lawyer is contacting Magnusson for the last details." "Who could have used the flat?" "Only trusted employees." " That guy." "Olav." "It must be him." " He was questioned by the police." "What do we tell the press?" "The person in question knew my password and used the dating profile." " Nethe told the police all about me." " What dating profile?" "Find out if anyone has seen or heard anything." "We'll file a civil suit." "Mostly because it's an important message to send." " What are we suing them for?" " For compensation." " It will be delivered tomorrow." " We're not filing a suit." "The police are looking for a man, who wrote to the girl on a dating site." "It turns out that it's a dating profile that I created at one time." "A long time ago." "I don't know how, but after I quit using it someone else has used my profile and written to the girl." "You knew what I was like when we met." " Did Morten know?" " Yes." "I should have told you." "But I didn't, and then time passed and..." " When did you stop?" " I had had enough." "I couldn't face myself in the mirror anymore." "And then I met you." "Now there are two things." "The key and the dating profile." "Make a list of the people who might know your password and prepare what you're going to say to the alliance tomorrow." "I'll deal with the press." "If you step forward now people will remember it for the rest of the campaign." "Is that all you have to say?" "...new rules that make the game flow better." "The goalie's uniform is also smaller." "They cut about 10% off it." " Then it's easier to score." " Exactly." "Even you can do it." " Hi." " Hi." "So... when did you get here?" "This afternoon." "They've rented a house in Klampenborg." "Do you want dinner?" "Yes." "An opportunity arose last week, so we decided to return home." "Brussels and two little girls." "The only thing we did was to work." "And I missed this guy as well." "What about you and Sweden?" " It's been postponed a while." " I heard Bengt had an accident." " It wasn't a big deal." " He broke his arm!" "The housewarming was cancelled as well as my trip to Logumkloster." "I've been working on a case." "These things happen." "But I suppose there's no rush." "No, not since Bengt sent their moving boxes back." "Aren't we moving then?" "I'd better go home and help out." "Thanks for the drink." "Nice to see you." " Give my best to Karen and the girls." " I will." "I'll be right back." "I hope there aren't problems between you and Bengt." "We'll work it out." "Here." "Karen wants to know if you'd like to have dinner with us tomorrow." "I can't." "Is it okay if I invite Mark?" "Only if you call and cancel, like you usually do." "You've lost weight." "I'm fine." " I left my address and number." " Great." "Bye." " Hello?" " Meyer here." "I talked to the conference centre." "No one saw Hartmann until Sunday afternoon." "He had the flu." "Rie Skovgaard held the meetings with the sponsors." "That's fine, Meyer." "See you tomorrow." "DAY 12" "The mayor of schools gave a statement to the police last night." "He was able to give more information than had been expected." "I'm afraid I can't go into detail." "It's said that Hartmann drove the car Nanna was found in." "Hartmann has driven several of the cars in our pool." "I checked out Hartmann." "He was born in Copenhagen in 1964." "Son of politician Regner Hartmann." "Speculations made in bad taste by political opponents..." "At the age of 23 he joined the party's youth branch." "He was on various committees during the 1990s." "In '98 he was the leading candidate and elected mayor of schools." " The alliance will prevail." " Are you listening?" "He married his childhood sweetheart the same year." "She was diagnosed with cancer and died." "She was six months pregnant." " What about his criminal record?" " Spotless." "Did you read the e-mails?" "Yes." "Nothing suggests that they were written by two different people." "These were written to NBL over the summer." "All signed with an F." "I'll get the phone." "The files are on your desk." "The ones of missing women over the last ten years." " Is there anything special?" " Brix thought it was a waste of time." "He said it was something you could do on your own time." "Forensics have a report on the flat." "There's plenty to go over." "What's going on, Troels?" "Was the girl in your flat?" "Yes or no." "Yes." "At least that's what they say." "And you were there, too?" "Yes, shortly before her." "That has given rise to misunderstandings with the police." "You also drove the car." "What the hell is this?" "I know what it looks like." "I'm just as shocked as you are." "It's very disconcerting." "The only thing I can do is help the police." "Why didn't you say so yesterday?" "Because you forced me not to." "I tried to postpone the decision." "But you didn't pull it off, did you?" "I don't care if you've slept with all the women in Copenhagen." "This is my political life." "My group is very upset." "Will there be more?" "No, of course not." " You're sure?" " I was at a sponsor meeting with Rie." "Jens, keep your cool." "That goes for all of you." "They're ready." "I promised the police to take part in a reconstruction at the flat now." "Before the meeting is adjourned..." "I have to know where you stand." " You said this is the end of it." " It's the end of it." "Then I'm in." "We don't really have a choice." "Troels, you have to step up and talk to the press." " It's no good hiding behind Rie." " Right." "Thanks for coming." " Are they in?" " Yes." "Did you check it out?" "You, Rie and I are the only ones established as users on the flat's PC." "Who might know your password?" " Could you've forgotten to log off?" " No." "I don't know." " Haven't you heard anything?" " No." "No one has noticed anything suspicious." " It's a hard question to ask." " Keep it up." "Someone must have heard or seen something." " See you later." " You'll be picked up by the stairs." "There are journalists at all the other exits." " Are you coming?" " No, I'm being questioned again." " I imagine it's about your alibi." " Are you okay?" "Yes, I'll be fine." "See you." "See you." "Yes, I know." "We'd just like to get it over with." "So if it's possible..." "Okay." "Yes." "Thanks." "The bank might give us an overdraft of 100,000 so we can pay the workers and sell the house." " Have you seen Emil's hat?" " Isn't it on the shelf upstairs?" "I'll find it." "HARTMANN QUESTIONED ABOUT NANNA CASE" "Hi, boys." "Mum!" "Someone wants to talk to you." "I'm here to talk to Birk Larsen." "If it's about a move, my husband will be right down." "Pernille Birk Larsen?" "My name is Kim Hogsted." "I'm a journalist." "I've tried calling a few times." "Here's my card." "When I look at the erratic course the police have followed" "I really feel sorry for you." "Now they've laid a smoke screen." "What do you want?" "I'd like to give you the opportunity to tell your version." "You'd like to me to talk about my dead daughter?" "You must have lost your mind." "Please leave." "Please leave." "Leave!" "All right." "Come here." " Shall I take them to school?" " No." "We already talked about it." "I'll see you at counselling." "Emil, I told you not to bring that." "Give it to me." "Have a nice day, boys." " Let's go." " Bye." "I parked the car and let myself in." "Did you see anyone?" "No, not that I know of." "Right." "Then what?" "I hung my jacket in the hall." "I remember having a headache after a busy week." "I sat at the desk and worked on the speech I was going to give." " For whom?" " Sponsors and businessmen." "Where did you put the car keys?" "Here." "On the glass table." "They were there when I left." "You gave your driver the weekend off." "Why?" "The next day we were going in Rie's car." "No point in him waiting around." "You dismissed him and took a campaign car that you left here." " Is that a crime?" " Did you make any calls?" "I finished my speech and walked over to Rie's just before 11 p.m." " That's all." " My client has assisted you." " So if you're done here..." " How did the speech go?" "Pretty well." "Thanks for asking." "You were with businessmen and sponsors all weekend." "Yes, I was." "But mostly Rie was." "I came down with the flu." " With the flu?" " Yes." "I was in bed till Sunday." "How much did you drink?" "The technicians found an empty bottle and a glass with your prints on it in here." "I might have had a drink to nip the flu in the bud." "The cleaning lady, who comes every two weeks had shopped and stocked up that day." "So it would be interesting to know who drank it." "I had some drinks." "Okay?" "And what about it?" "It was our wedding anniversary..." "I don't owe you an explanation." "How long have you taken sedatives?" "We found your prescribed pills." " How low do you intend to go?" " Alcohol and drugs are dangerous." "There's no warning against drinking alcohol on the label." " I haven't taken them for ages." " You just had a really shitty day." "You came here." "You drank a bottle of booze." "You took some festive pills." "And nonetheless you remember that you left the flat at 11 p.m." "I also remember which switches I touched." "Interested?" "Or how many times I went to the bathroom." "Do you want to know?" "Let's check out the button on the elevator." " You took the elevator?" " Yes." "Incredible, isn't it?" "According to the managers of the building, it was out of service." "Then I took the stairs." "Hartmann has told you what he did in the flat." "Rie Skovgaard has confirmed that he came over." "Thank you." " It's me." "How did it go?" " Fine." "Morten wants to talk to you." "Bye." " What's up?" " Do you remember Dorte?" "The temp?" "The nice one with back trouble." " She went to my acupuncturist." " Yes." "What about her?" "She told me something interesting." "We need to get a hold of Olav." "Then I was told how bad it was." "And he wasn't quite with it." "He was unconscious." "We couldn't reach him." "Then I went in there..." "I have a job in half an hour but I can drive you home if you like." "And your bike." "No, that's okay." "I need some fresh air." "I'll see you at home." "Hi." "Peter Lassen." "I didn't get round to introducing myself in there." "I hope it was helpful to you." "It was fine." "I don't think you mean that." "I remember what it was like the first time." "It's hard to relate to others." "If I want to know, I'll ask." "It'll be five years ago in January." "I had made lasagne." "We sat at the table waiting for him to come home." "We had put new batteries in his bike lights." "He knew the way." "We had taken it together in the fall." "But he never came home." "They said it was a red car." "There was paint on one of the pedals." "I sat by the turn in the road and looked for a scratched red car." "I sat there every evening." "But the car never came." "So I started sitting there during the day." "In the end, the only thing I could do was sit there." "My wife tried to get me to give it up." "I couldn't." "I lost my job, friends..." "One day I came home, and she was gone, too." "Not a day goes by without me regretting letting go of my loved ones." " Do you understand what I'm saying?" " But you still think about the car." " How can you forget?" " Don't think of it in that way." "But that's exactly what you do." "Where is the car?" "Where is he?" " You have to let it go." " Tell me that you've forgotten." "Have you thought about what would happen if they never catch him?" " They will." " You have to let it go." "I have to pick up my children." "Thanks for the coffee." "No matter what they throw at you, you have to be cool and calm." " When is Olav coming?" " Any minute." " Don't go to the meeting with him." " Why not?" " You have a case against him." " Of course I should be there." "Just concentrate on the press conference." "Someone's here to see you." "It's Nethe Stjernfeldt." "I'm sorry to come barging in." "It's not a good time." "I'm sorry if I said something wrong." "They came and asked me." "I talked to them." "Everything's fine." "Thanks for coming but I have things to do." "I'm a bit busy." "I understand." "Call me if there's something I can do." "I'll leave now." "She..." "She just wanted to apologise." "Don't you trust me?" "Don't shut me out." "Talk to me." "What's wrong?" "What?" "I was told you wanted to talk to me." "You've taken an interest in the flat." "Not at all." "I've put up some guests there a few times." "With the mayor's permission." "Guests that never turned up." "Should I call my lawyer?" "Did you use the flat yourself?" " I don't know what you mean." " You asked about it six months ago." "You asked Dorte if it was available for the weekend." "Yes." "It was for the Poles who were to do a report on our welfare system." " They stayed at a hotel." " Apparently." "So what?" "Several times a week you booked the flat for no-shows." " People change their minds." " Do you think we're idiots?" "Don't blame me if you're in hot water." "Did you book it for yourself?" "Be careful what you accuse me of." " Did you bring the girl up there?" " You know I didn't." "It's not the first time you need a scapegoat." "Did you make a copy of the key?" "Did you use my computer?" "Are you deaf?" " How did you get my password?" " You're the one who should explain." "He was at the poster party." "All night." "There are many witnesses." "Go home." "Take a shower and get ready for the press conference." "Hartmann has taken several women to the flat." "He stopped for a couple of months." "He tried to get hold of Nanna." "He seemed jealous." "Someone must have seen something." " A paper boy, a parking attendant." " No one has seen anything." "Let's bring Skovgaard in again." " She won't tell us anything." " How the hell do you know?" "Here's the information from Hartmann's phone company." "He didn't call Nanna, and his cell phone was turned off at 10:34 p.m." " Okay." " I'll get Skovgaard in again." "Someone called Hartmann at 10:30 p.m." " It wasn't Nanna Birk Larsen." " Who then?" " It says so at the end." " Right." "What do you want?" "What happened?" "You said you hadn't talked to Hartmann for a long time." "I haven't." "I have to pick up my children." "You called him on Friday 31 October at 10:30 p.m." "And there's more, isn't there?" "I promised my husband I'd never see him again." "I missed him." "I wanted to see him." " What did he say on the phone?" " He said it was over." "And that I should stop calling." "What did you do then?" "You got a parking ticket that evening here on Store Kongensgade." "You parked too close to the corner." "Will my husband hear about this?" "Just tell me what happened." "I don't know what got into me." "I was home alone." "So you drove here to meet him." "What time?" "Almost midnight." "The lights were on." "So I rang the bell." " Did he let you in?" " No, he didn't even answer." "I pressed the buzzer till someone picked up." " So you talked to him?" " No one said anything." "I could hear music in the background." "I tried to get him to let me in." "But then they hung up." "Did you drive home, or what?" "No, I was angry with him." "So I went in here and called his name." "At first nothing happened, but then I saw a silhouette in the window." " You saw Hartmann?" " I don't think it was him." " What do you mean?" " It wasn't him." " It didn't look like him." " How could you tell?" "It was dark." "You looked up at the 5th floor." "It was raining." "I can't say it was him." " It didn't look like him." " But you don't know for sure." "The man up there seemed shorter." "He looked at me and did nothing." "It made me uncomfortable." "And then I left." " It's my game box." " Stop it." "It's mine." "Give it to me." "Mum, tell him to stop." " You're mean!" " Tell him." " I haven't played all day." " Can't you take turns?" " Mum, tell him." " Shut up!" "Mum?" "Emil can play with it." "We can take turns." "No, I haven't seen her since this afternoon." "If you hear anything, let me know." "Here they are." "I'll tell them." "Bye." "Hi." "Where have you been?" "I picked up the boys." "I made spaghetti bolognese." "I hope you're hungry." "That sounds delicious." "There's something I have to do first." "Okay." "I called the journalist who came by and set up a meeting." "He'll be here soon." "Why the hell did you do that?" "We have to do it to move on." "We need the help of others." "Someone must have seen or heard something." "If not about Troels Hartmann, then about someone else." " I don't like it." " Well, that's the way it going to be." "This is your third questioning, and we don't believe a word of it." "None of the sponsors has seen Hartmann until that Sunday." "He was ill." "Why are you covering for him?" "Is it because you're crazy about him?" " Or do you want to save your career?" " I'm not covering for anyone." "He didn't tell you he called himself Faust." "He met lots women on the dating site." "But not since we've been together." ""I want you." "Thanks for a lovely evening." "You're lovely." ""I'm going to the flat now." "Waiting for you." "Don't get dressed." ""Can we meet again tomorrow?" "I must see you."" "They're all signed F." "How do you know that Hartmann didn't write to Nanna Birk Larsen?" "Hi." "Sarah Lund, CID." "Is Troels Hartmann home?" "Yes." "Come in." "I've answered your questions." "No statement without my lawyer." "You said you weren't on the phone." "Nethe Stjernfeldt." "I said in no uncertain terms that I wasn't interested." "She kept calling me and sending messages." "Did you listen to music there?" "I didn't listen to any." "Are you sure?" "I went to Rie's just before 11 p.m. I've said so all along." "I have to eat now." "Who might know your password?" "Let's say someone else used your computer, car and flat." " That's what I've said all along." " Yes." "Let's pursue that thought." "Great." "Will you take the trash out?" "See you next week." "I use the same password for everything." "My date of birth." "So it's not all that hard." "A few others might have known." " I've made a list." " I'd like to see it." " It's upstairs." " Okay." " Have some pizza." " No thanks." "Just the list, please." "You said Hartmann was ill." "What was wrong?" " The flu." " The flu?" "That means you're bedridden, all sweaty and have a cough." "Yes, something like that." "But I talked to the maid." "She said that only one duvet was used." "She must have got it wrong." "You're covering for a suspect." "If you're lying to me, you're an accomplice." "You can go to prison for that." "Did you know that?" "If that's all, I'd like to leave now." "Thank you." "SHOPPING LIST" "There's one more thing." "Just one question." "If you were together with Hartmann all weekend why did you call his cell phone that was turned off on the Saturday?" "I have the list here." "We checked with the phone company." "I'll ask you for the last time." "Did Hartmann come over on the Friday?" " Lund." " Meyer here." " I don't have time to talk now." " Hartmann doesn't have an alibi." "Rie Skovgaard has no idea where he was." "None whatsoever." "She lied to the sponsors." "She said that he was ill." "Hello?" "Lund, are you there?" "What's going on?" "Is something wrong?" "That's fine." "I've got to go." "Bye." " Anything wrong?" " No." "Is that the list?" " Here you go." " Thanks." "Maybe I should have a slice of pizza after all."
