"Kemal is innocent." "Where's Theis?" "20 years ago a drug dealer was killed, the police suspected Theis." "I'm at Birk Larsen's old warehouse and the lights are on." " Get up!" " Theis!" "Theis..." "This all happened because of you." "If you haven't found a new direction by tomorrow, you're both out." "And stay away from Town Hall and Hartmann." "Understand?" "The Chief of Homicide has confirmed the teacher's innocence." "I know you're disappointed but this could strengthen you." " No need to give up." " I won't." "Resign or we'll take a vote." " Up yours!" " You too, Knud." " I guarantee my loyalty." " You supported Bigum against me." "Either the media will know you're dishonest and disloyal..." " Or?" " You resign." "Call a meeting of the big parties." " They all support Bremer." " Not if they read the polls." "You'll be charged with attempted murder, deprivation of liberty, and grievous bodily harm." "I want to go home to my family." "I'm in remand." "That case 20 years ago..." "Did Theis do it?" "He didn't do anything." "All we know is that the girl was found in the car and the perpetrator drove it into the water." "The car is your best clue." "We've missed something." "The logbook indicates that at the school the tank would have been almost empty." "It's almost full." "Please check the name of Hartmann's fuel company." "Then I'll leave you alone." "The car had a petrol card." "On Friday 31 October at 7.21 p.m. it was used in Nyrop's Street." " I know who it is." " It was Hartmann's car." "I couldn't leave it there." "I filled it up and drove it home." "To the car park opposite the Town Hall." "THE KILLING" "I parked the car at 7.30 on Friday evening." " You're sure." " Yes." "I put the keys away in the security guards' room." "I went home." "Apart from the guards, who else has access?" "Not many, but there was a party going on that evening." " What party?" " The poster party." "At the Town Hall?" "The election campaign always starts with a party the night the posters are sent out." " That's fine." "Wait there." " Yes." "There was a party at the Town Hall." "Anyone could have taken the keys." " Get the surveillance tape." " We won't get anything out of that." "The tape from the Town Hall is gone." "We can't see who took the keys." "But at 7.55 p.m. this... happens." " I see balloons." " Check the background." "It's a man who's about 190 cm tall." "At that time Nanna was still partying at the school." "Later she delivers something to her teacher." "And then, I think, she meets this man." "Somewhere." "Because he drives a black station wagon?" "The licence plate..." "That's the car Nanna was found in." "We've been wasting our time." "Someone besides the guard knew the car was parked there." " We've been well and truly shafted." " Let's exclude Hartmann and his staff." "Nanna had a secret affair with... a man who gave her expensive gifts." " Someone she met..." " Who knows this?" "Only us." "We haven't instigated anything but... we must..." "It's Buchard here." " Is he calling his wife?" " What?" "Is he calling his wife?" "Check the guards' duty rosters, CVs and criminal records." " Why?" " It's not a guard." " It's probably someone higher up." " That's been checked." " What?" " Checked by whom?" "Check the guards." " Who did you call?" " Don't worry." "That's nothing." " It makes no sense." " What the hell are you on about?" "I want to know what this is about." "Come with me." "No, not you." "What's going on?" "When I say there's nothing in it then that's it." "I want this solved as much as you." "So focus." "Lund, this was handed in at Security for you." " Lund?" " Yes, thanks." "What's going on?" "What did he say?" "When we checked Nanna's mobile and the phone records did we get all the material?" "It's not anyone from Town Hall." "What did he..." " Please check it again." " I have checked." "Lund, what did Buchard say?" "What?" " Sarah Lund." " Dorthe Gren, DR." "You're leading the investigation?" " I'm busy." " I'm making an election doco." "Hartmann versus Bremer." "Are you finished..." "I have no comments." "You'll have to call our... our..." "You focused on the Town Hall and as the murder is unsolved..." " What?" " Hello?" "What did Buchard say?" "What?" " Where are you going?" " Call me." "What did he say?" "Bengt..." "Something happened." "Can we talk about it on the way home?" "I understand you won't stay at Mum's." "We can go to a hotel." "Maybe we took things too fast with the move to Sweden." "No!" "What are you saying?" "No, I want to..." "I..." "I want you to stay." "Please." "Let's see how things go." "Take care of yourself." "It's me." "Are you there?" "Something's wrong with her mobile." "When it was sent to forensics there were 53 calls in her phonebook." "We only got 52." "Can we talk later?" "Listen to me." "I got a copy of her calls." "I compared them to our lists." "Some calls have been deleted." "That's not the worst of it." "I mean..." "The first one to check the phone and the lists was Buchard." " It can't be true." " I'm quite sure." "I don't like this at all." "If Buchard is trying to shield Town Hall we can be sure it's a politician." "Hello?" "Is she gone?" "Hello?" "I don't deny we're five parties with different policies." "But if we look at the last election we would have had a clear majority if we'd stood together." "That's all." "A clear majority." "The latest polls indicate the same would be the case this time." "Our lord mayor is busy defending himself after having maligned me on TV." "I suffered from that." "But in reality we're all unsure of him." "Right?" "In summary, I suggest a broad alliance against Bremer." "That sounds good." "But what do we five have in common?" "A lot." "Education, housing, the environment." "What about integration?" "You're ultra-keen on role models." " I am." " Already there is a split." "My group won't join an alliance." "Lars, how does your group feel about..." "Bremer not having reduced CO2 emissions?" "Sonne, what has he done for the aged?" "For nursing homes?" "Isn't that still one of your key issues?" "And Bistrup?" "Did he get the jobs he promised?" "Jens..." "You once fought for a city that could attract families with kids." "What happened?" "I've had a proposal prepared for an alliance between the five of us." "It's only a draft." "And of course..." "it's up for discussion." "But I hope you'll consider it." "Really." "I know it's a big challenge." "But we have to do something now." " Bremer will run..." " I think Bremer's done a good job." "Yes, he has." "He was the right man twelve years ago." " So why not give him four more years?" " Because it doesn't work." "You've got a tailwind now." "Don't let it go to your head." "You haven't convinced me that you'll be a good lord mayor." "Okay." "Fair enough." "Let's see who we choose." "It's well known that you don't get on with the government." "The lord mayor's job is to negotiate our budget with the minister." "I can't see you doing a better job than Bremer." "But with a strong alliance behind me I'd have all..." "I'm sorry, but I don't believe it." " You won't even look at the proposal?" " I've looked." "I'm sorry." "Without Jens there's no deal." "Thanks for tonight." "Jens!" "Jens..." "Got a minute?" " You've started smoking again?" " Yes, it's bad." " Did he give them to us?" " He wouldn't remember." "No, he didn't give them to me." "The cops are sniffing around in the car park." " Why?" " I have no idea." "I'm sorry to intrude." "That's... it's okay." " I couldn't change my shift." " Yes, I spoke to Mum." "Have you heard when Theis gets out?" "The solicitor is doing her best." "Vagn has given himself up." "Charlotte, did Nanna at any time talk to you about..." "You were very close and she told... she told you everything." "You talked with her about everything." "Something that... she didn't tell me but that you know." "Something about... problems at home or..." "Did she talk about us?" "Did she say something about her and Theis?" "No." "I'm sure there's nothing." "It's just me." "She was always daddy's girl." "But something happened last summer." "All of a sudden they didn't do things together." "It was as if... there was something she didn't talk about." "Well..." "He thought it was too early for her to move out." "She was upset with him." "That's understandable." "Don't worry about what the police say about Theis." "He was a good dad." "Even if he's done something stupid now." "I have to go." "I'll call in tomorrow." "Tell me if I can help." "Hello!" "Hello." "Stand away from the door." "Are you sending me a message in Morse code?" " My solicitor should've called." " No one's called you." "She was going to talk to the police about me not being in remand." "I've heard nothing." "You must wait till tomorrow." " Can my wife visit me?" " No." " I must talk to her." " Stop there, mate." "I'll check tomorrow morning." "Good night." "Thank you." "Nanna didn't do work experience at the Town Hall." " You don't believe that yourself." " I won't discuss it with you." " He's coming." " You wanted something?" "We are." "Just a question about Nanna's mobile." "Who checked her phone book?" "I don't know." "Not me." "Maybe it points to one of the security guards?" " Check it." " I will." "I spoke to a cab driver who says he may have driven Nanna." " He's sitting downstairs." " Thanks." " I can't be sure." " Tell us what you remember." "I drive a taxi on weekends." "So... this Friday I picked her up." "If it was her." " And then?" " We drive off." "We chat." "She's sweet and friendly." "I dropped her at Groenningen across from the citadel." " Do you have the receipts?" " Yes." "I'm sure this is it." "Pick up in the street at Ryparken." "Note that its from 10.27 p.m. to 10.45 p.m." "What happened at Groenningen?" "She pays and I drive off." "Friday was busy." " So how can you remember her?" " Because we stopped on the way." "In Vester Vold Street at the back of the Town Hall." " What happened there?" " She got out." "She asked me to wait for her." "I don't normally do that but she's a sweetie." " What did she do?" " No idea." "She went inside for a few minutes." " Was she with someone?" " No." " I can't promise it was her." " Thank you." " We just need a report." " Yes." "A colleague will come now." " There are lots of hotels around there." " We checked them." "Do it again." "Have they seen a politician, do any politicians live nearby..." " But you're busy checking guards." " Yes, I am." "He drove her from Oesterbro where Kemal lives to the Town Hall." "He says he's not sure." "It could have been anyone." "I've got an appointment." "My mobile phone's on." "You're okay with the Interior Minister." "The problem is the Prime Minister." "You cast a shadow." "You're his rival." "All of a sudden it's a bad idea that our polls are good." " The Interior Minister is with us." " If the PM allows it." "Negotiations may become difficult." "We're on the same side and still they back Bremer." "There's one possibility." "The PM is keeping an eye on you." "He sees your success and wants a piece of it." " Meaning?" " He's behind on integration." "If we let it be known the program was conceived with the PM..." " Forget all about that." " If they get the kudos..." " The PM may extend his hand." " That's out of the question." "Okay." "What..." "What would we get in return?" " We could invite him to your meetings." " It's a slippery slope." "It would help you realise your integration policy." "But right now it's important to get Holck interested in the alliance." "Find out precisely... what we can get in return." "And then... get an appointment with the PM's office." "If it can help realise our ideas who cares who gets the kudos?" "Did you find out why the cops were in the car park?" "What?" "No." "Nothing, I think." " How long is he staying?" " It hasn't been decided." "But you can visit him today." "Thank you." "That's nice." "I'm sorry." "So we agree that you'll sell the house after you finish the renovations." "We'll increase your overdraft so you avoid the instalments on the loan." "We'll then hope the house sells quickly so the account is cleared." "Good." "All that's left is the account your daughter opened in..." "Anton and Emil's names." "What do you want to do with that?" " What account?" " There's 1 1 ,000 in it." " Where do you want the mail?" " Just give it to me." " What account?" " A savings account in their name." " For the boys." " May I?" " Where did she get the money?" " Presumably from work." "But she didn't work other than for us, but..." " When was it opened?" " In January." "She deposited money on a regular basis." "Suddenly it stopped in summer." "Of course you don't have to consider this right now." "Goodbye and thank you for today." "Thanks." " How are the boys?" " Fine." "I talked to the solicitor." "She's doing what she can..." "to get me out." "Yes, I spoke to her." "As soon as I get out I'll sort things out with the bank." "I'll work it out." "Did something happen between you and Nanna last summer?" "You always..." "Did you have a fight?" "Did you say something to her?" "What do you mean?" "The bank says she opened an account for the boys and made regular deposits." " She may have had a job." " She worked for us." " 1 1 ,000?" " I might have given her some extra." " She might have saved it." " Yes." "But why keep it secret?" "I don't know." "She didn't tell you?" "You don't know?" "She was upset with me because..." "I thought it was too early for her to leave home." "I may have given her a bit extra... to make her happy again." "Yes." "Otherwise, I don't know." "We'll work it out." "The doco goes from the poster party to the election." "I want to know what the party leaders did on Friday 31 October." " What's in it for me?" " Nothing." " I can get a warrant in five minutes." " You can?" "I'd like to help but you could help me too." "You'll get the story first if I find something." " What are you after?" " The tapes." " October 31?" " From 7 p.m. to 8 p.m." "No problem." "They were all in Hartmann's office." "The calm before the storm." "He invited them to toast him and wish him well." "Is anything happening?" "Hartmann's making a speech." " Who's he?" " Jens Holck, a Moderate." "A Bremer supporter." " Was he there all evening?" " Yes." "Why did he put his coat on?" " Any shots of him later?" " Why do you ask?" "I can't see him." "At some stage I moved over to his party rooms." "Not there either." "So you haven't got him since Hartmann's office?" " I thought..." " What do you know about him?" "He's been there for ages." "He's the quiet, stable type." "There are rumours he had an affair." " An affair?" " He's going through a divorce." "He hasn't been himself." "It's probably gossip." "The car left the car park at 7.55 p.m." "Holck leaves Hartmann's 15 minutes earlier." " He wasn't seen after that." " Buchard wants you." "Did Holck have something nearby?" "A hotel room or something?" "I couldn't give a shit." "People are talking about an affair and he left early." "Should we ask at Town Hall?" "Drop it, damn you." "Buchard asked for you." "Did you hear me when I said that?" " We need to talk to Holck." " He's switched his mobile off." "We must talk to him before the debate." "Troels, we must talk about tonight." "I'm busy." "Aren't you also busy defending yourself in the media?" "I'm leading in regard to space in the papers." "Do you mind if we finish a bit earlier than planned?" "I'm going on the TV news." "Well... watch your mouth this time." "I presume the others won't mind 15 minutes less." "That's what we'll do, then." " Don't forget to tell the others." " Of course." "I already spoke to Holck." "He's in the canteen if you want him." "The special of the day is wonderful." "Well, see you tonight." "Great." "Bye." " It was Holck." " From the canteen." " He's coming now." " They've got a lovely special." "Did you speak with the PM?" "He asked if he should attend some of my public meetings." "I've got several public meetings with him prior to the election." "He's not coming to give me a thrashing." "And if the PM wants to play ball so will the Interior Minister." "That may answer your question, am I the right person to administer the city's budget?" "It changes nothing." " You said that..." " Yes, but I must consult my party." "They're always behind you." " I'm really busy." " Why is it all of a sudden irrelevant?" "Troels..." "Wait." "Why is it irrelevant?" "Just a moment." " What?" " He was on the trip to Latvia." " Are you sure?" " The economics committee says so." "We're through, aren't we?" "I've always regarded you as a good politician." "If it's because you have..." "If you can't leave Bremer because he..." "What?" "It doesn't matter." "You'll figure out what's right." "I'm afraid I've done something stupid." "It's been difficult... lately." "With my divorce and..." "I understand." "We all make mistakes sometimes." "It's important to right the ship as soon as possible." "I need more time to think about it." " Can we talk more tonight?" " Yes, of course." "Fine." " Goodbye." " Bye, Jens." " Two minutes." " Does Buchard know?" "No." "I won't be a minute." "I just want to apologise." " You've caused us a lot of problems." " I know." " A visitor?" " Please leave." "Do you have two minutes?" "I just want to clear things up." "30 seconds." "I'm leaving now." " What do you want?" " I just want to apologise for..." "You're not here to apologise." " I need your help." " Yes?" "My office is open to the public every Wednesday at 2 p.m." "What if I say your car was not parked at the school." "I'd say you've messed up again." "What if I say it was driven back here?" "To the car park." "On Friday October 31 at 7 o'cIock... you had a party for all the party leaders." " And?" " Did anyone leave early?" " The car was driven back here." " Did anyone leave?" "Rie Skovgaard here." "Is Buchard there?" "Did Jens Holck leave early?" "I'm here with one of your staff." "I thought we made it clear..." "Did you see him later that night?" " What about Holck?" " Did you see him later?" "Buchard wants to talk to you." "Coming?" "Lund's starting her new job tomorrow." "Meyer will lead the investigation from now on." "Svendsen will assist Meyer." "The Swedish police know you're ready to work for them." "I didn't tell them how you've messed up here." "Thank you very much." "I'm sorry it had to end like this." "We didn't find anything with Holck or around Groenningen." "There's a load of goods from Sweden." "The driver needs a receipt." "I've got a technician waiting, so..." "You can keep the cigarettes." " Hi, Theis." " Hi." "What now?" "Vagn has confirmed to the police that he incited you to take the law into your own hands." " That's not true." " No, but it's to your advantage." "I said that you won't flee, you've suffered enough, and it's irrelevant if you're in here or not." "What does that mean?" "That you're free to go." "On the condition you stay in town and under no circumstances interfere in the case." "For you and your family's sake please keep a low profile." " So?" " You're free." "Get your clothes and effects." " Thank you." " Look after yourself." "You too." " I'm just going to pick Theis up." " Yes." "Are the boys going to bed straight away or... is there time for sweets?" "Are we having sweets?" " It's good he's coming home." " Sweets after your bath." "My rubber duck!" "Your bath duck." "How long did she work with you?" "How long did she work there?" "Since January." "As a casual." "She stopped last summer." "She didn't intend to, but... she thought it was exciting and..." "I thought it wouldn't do any harm." "What happened last summer?" "Perhaps you should ask Theis." " Talk to Theis." " What happened?" "She was..." "She liked the job and... she started dating a guy, but..." "Who?" "Someone she met there." "I don't know him." "She wouldn't tell me." "Did he give her money?" " Why do you ask?" " Answer me." "Did he give her money?" "I don't think so." "I think she was very much in love with him." "She started neglecting her duties and one day... she didn't turn up." "I got..." "I got worried and..." "I called Theis." "I'm sorry." "We found her in a hotel room." "She'd drunk way too much." "Theis took her to casualty." "She promised she'd stop seeing him." "She promised Theis..." "I'm sorry, Pernille." "Leave now." "She said the car was driven back to the Town Hall." " Why back to the Town Hall?" " We would have heard from them." "That's why the police searched the car park." " What did you say?" " That's all I know." "They're asking for Holck?" " But is he with us or not?" " I don't want to get involved." "Leave it." "Come on." " Focus." "The debate is paramount." " I have to know." "Welcome." "You've been fishing in choppy waters." "Any bites?" " Hi, Jens." " Hi, Bremer." " Sit down here." " No, thanks." "Is this chair vacant?" "Yes, of course." "Yes?" " I need help." " I'm glad you called." "You were wrong about that guy, Holck." "We just saw him leaving the Town Hall in his own car." "Did you find any flats leased by political parties in Groenningen?" "No, there weren't any." "And no politicians live in the area." "The only thing we found was a Liberal Party reception room." "Where?" " What the hell are you doing?" " Where was it?" "In... 130 Store Kongen's Street, 4th floor." "Why?" "We've already checked Hartmann and the Liberals." "Stop." "What's that flashing light?" "Wind it back." "One more frame." "Yes, stop." "Who the hell is that?" " Any clearer?" " I'll try." " Yes?" " Lund here." "We're about to see who drove the car." "I think it's Troels Hartmann." "How would you know?" "Lund, where are you?" "Lund?" "What's happening?" "Talk to me, damn it." "Get forensics and meet me over here."
