"THE KILLING" "DAY 1" "MONDAY 3 NOVEMBER 6:30 A.M." " What's up?" " I thought I'd forgotten something." "I know you're worried." "But it'll be great." " I'll do my best..." " I'm not worried." "I woke up, that's all." " I can't wait." " To become a Swede?" " Impossible." " I'll never be Swedish." " I can't wait to move in with you." " It'll be lovely." "I'll put some coffee on." "Lund speaking." "Round the back." "A homeless guy found her." "The building is empty, and we're canvassing the front block." " How old is she?" " No idea." "I've never seen the like." "I'm sorry it had to happen today of all days." "Hey!" "Turn the lights back on!" "Hey!" "THANKS FOR 7 GREAT YEARS" "If light beer and decomposed herring are your thing - you're entitled to give them a try." "Sarah, the Stockholm force will really benefit from you." "Good luck in the lap of the enemy." "We will all miss you." "And I mean the whole squad." "No, it was great." "I'll tell you about it later." " Have the movers come?" " They've nearly finished." "I'll drop off the keys when I leave for my lecture." " Did Mark lend a hand?" " He went off to school." "Oh?" " Did he finish packing?" " I packed the last few things." "I'll pick him up and we'll say goodbye to my mother." " Can I help you?" " Lund's office?" " Hang on..." "I'm Sarah Lund." " I'm Jan Meyer." "The new DCI." " I can wait outside." " No, come in." "I've got to go, dear." "See you at the airport." "Bye." " Do you mind if I smoke?" " No, that's okay." " You're emigrating to Sweden?" " Yes." "My boyfriend is Swedish." "My son and I are moving there tonight." "My wife's sister did something similar." "She couldn't find anything in Copenhagen - so she moved to Bornholm with a Bornholmer." "Nice guy." " But it didn't work out." " Why not?" "Too remote." "They went nuts." " Where are you going to live?" " Sigtuna." "Very remote." " You've met." " We've just had the pleasure." " This just came in." "Take a look?" " Of course." "I have plenty of time." " Nice to meet you." "Good luck." " Thanks." "You too." " Why not take Meyer with you?" " Don't you want to unpack?" "There's plenty of time for that." "Let's catch some villains." " Don't forget your farewell reception." " Right." "Thanks." "What are you going to do in Stockholm?" " A bit of everything." " On an equal footing with them?" "Yes, it'll be a partnership." "But you can't carry a gun or make arrests." "Only if I become a Swedish citizen." "So just what are you going to do?" "A kindergarten on a picnic found them this morning." " Blood?" " Yes, but not much." " Like a nose bleed or a cut throat?" " Like a nose bleed." " Who comes out here?" " Kindergarten kids by day." "Hookers by night with their tricks." " When was this stuff left here?" " It wasn't here on Friday." " No incidents reported?" " Not to us or the hospitals." " Any idea who she might be?" " Only that she's a size 8." "We also found this." "A video hire card." " Theis Birk Larsen." " It was some way from the clothes." "Perhaps they had a dispute and he threw her out of the car." "But she found her shoes and coat and purse and got back to the road." " Have you searched the area?" " For the last two hours." "It's cold." "Check the man's name on the card and get back to me." " Give my love to Sweden." " Why don't we check him out?" "He left a hooker out here like that." "It's not our kind of case." "I know." "I'd just like a word." "She didn't report it." "No case." "It depends on how you ask him." "But if you're too busy..." " No." "Let's check him out." " Great." "Bye." "See you." "3000 for the truck plus the driver." "Of course not." "Fine, we'll be there tomorrow." " It was all over the pavement." " You'll have to pay for it." "You've got to be joking." "You left it in the way." " What's going on?" " He has no respect for things." "I paid a lot of money for these items." " You got it from your cousin." " We'll knock it off the bill." "That's what we'll do." "Thanks, Theis." "I'll fix a nice hamper for your family." "Why did you back that Paki up?" "Chill, Vagn." "Just because you can't spell falafel." "Of course I can." "FA, that's fa, LAF, that's laf..." " It's me." " Come home." " What's up?" " Come home." "Now." "I'm off home." "Keep your shirts on." "What the hell did you do?" "The dishwasher!" "Let me see..." " The duct tape came off." " No more duct tape." " I'm calling the plumber." " No, you're not." " No!" "Vagn will do it." " You've said that for three months." "There." "Now it's all set." "So call him." "No, you did a great job." "Help me mop it up." "No!" "Don't!" "We've got to talk about an apartment for Nanna." "You know how she feels about that little room." "I was thinking that we could find her a place somewhere around here." "We could put down the deposit." " It might not be necessary." " Why not?" "I'll tell you later." " Theis, what are you up to?" " Will you pick up the boys?" "I've got to get the VAT returns in." "Tell me." " It's a surprise." " Just tell me." "Then it won't be a surprise." " Theis?" " Yes?" "Nothing." "Let's go, guys." " We need posters at the high school." " Catch him after the duel." "He's busy with the election campaign." "Fine." "Goodbye." " Hasn't he arrived yet?" " Not yet." "Industry House says he left there half an hour ago." "Keep trying to get hold of him." "I'll be right there." "The duel starts at 12:30." "Rie says set off an hour before." "Half an hour." "This one should have no yeast in." "Bremer is always late." "We don't want to suck up to him." " New shoes?" " They've got special cushioning." "We'd better take a few notes." "Guaranteed child care." "Garbage collection in Ørestad." "Refurbishing city sports facilities." "Meetings about the new Education Act - and inviting bids for your new shoes." " Have you seen the latest figures?" " And so has the mayor." "We're ready for the duel." "We've requested funds for inner city schools." "But the mayor cancelled the allocation." " And now sick leave is up 20%." " We'll spring that on him today." "It'll show how arrogant he is." " And spotlight our schools project." " Do we know it was him?" " I have the minutes of the meeting." " Once again about my diary." " Don't make me look superficial." " It's my fault." "Maybe you could show up on time?" " I've lost my watch." " And I have a good excuse." "I had a word with the Centre Party." "This is off the record." "But I think they want to play." " An alliance?" " The mayor is losing his backers." " "I lost my watch!"" " I did!" "It was under my bed." "Mayor Bremer wants to see you." " About what?" " I don't know." "ASAP." " 15 minutes?" " I thought you'd lost it." "That's fine." "That's what I'm saying." "You'll end up in his government." "I've got someone waiting." "I'll call you." "Okay." "Bye." " Sorry about that." " I don't mind." "Cicero would have gone far if he'd bided his time." "Want to borrow it?" "No thanks." "He tried to introduce the republic." "But it was too soon." "The Romans still loved Caesar and thought Cicero was pushy." "They executed him." "And put his hands and head on display in the Forum." " You wanted to see me?" " You are doing well in the polls." "You'll make a really good mayor." "But not this time round." "I retire in four years' time." " Why not wait?" " Why should I?" "Let me tell you." "I have an offer you can't refuse." "I'll cut you in on the big decisions." "It'll pave the way for you." "Four years from now you'll have no competition." " That won't be necessary." " I'm just trying to be friendly." "I say what has to be said." "You've been mayor for too long." "Lots of people think so." "If you mean the Centre Party, forget about them." "They flirt around." "But they know where they belong." " See you at the duel." " Yes, we can't get out of that." "Have you got item 711?" "Thank goodness." "No, I forgot." "I'll be with you in ten minutes." " Bye." " Hello." "I'm Jan Meyer, CID." "Can we talk to Theis Birk Larsen?" " He's my husband." "What's it about?" " We just want a word." "He isn't in, and I'm off to the accountant's." " Is he upstairs?" " Is it about the trucks?" "We just want to talk to him." "What was he doing this weekend?" "We went to the sea with our two sons." "Friday to Sunday." "Why?" "He might have come back into town on business." "Not on his first weekend off for two years." " What did he do when you got home?" " He went to bed." "And you're quite sure?" "I was there." "I don't know what you think he's done, and nor do I care." " We were at the seaside." " We'll come back another day." "You have a daughter." "Yes." "And two sons." "Aged 6 and 7." "Too young to be out at night." "Does she borrow her dad's video card?" " Maybe." "Why do you ask?" " Did she spend last night here?" "Nanna spent the night at a girlfriend's from school." "I think you should call her now." "This is Nanna." "I'm doing homework." "Leave a message." "Bye." "It's Lisa." "Call me." "Nanna, call me for Christ's sake." "Hello." "Have you seen Nanna?" " No, why?" " No reason." "Sit down." "We're starting." "Today there's an opportunity to decide whom you'll vote for." "NANNA, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?" "We live in a country with the right to vote." "Let's hear the questions you've prepared for the duel." "Lisa?" "Your three questions?" "Can we hear them?" " I can't remember them." " Democracy is also a responsibility." "Excuse me..." "Is Nanna Birk Larsen here?" "No." "Has anyone seen Nanna today?" "Nanna's mother phoned." " When did you talk to her?" " Is anything wrong?" " The police are looking for her." " I haven't seen her since Friday." "Her mother said she spent the weekend at your house." " You don't know where she is?" " No, how could I?" "If you talk to her, get her to phone home." "The electoral candidates need your classroom." " Give me 10 minutes." " Get everyone into the hall on time." "Lisa, if you have any idea where she is, you've got to say so." "I have no idea." "Thanks." "She isn't at school." "She'll be at Lisa's." " They always..." " Lisa is at school." "She says Nanna didn't stay at her place." "Where can she be?" "What's happened to her?" "Nothing, we hope." "We'll do our best to find her." "We'd like a photo." "I need everyone you can spare." "We're looking for 19-year-old Nanna Larsen, missing since Friday." "Bremer will talk about all the good he's done." "Stick to a few subjects." "Sick leave at inner city schools is up by 20%." "Bremer refuses to allocate funds for maintenance." "Move in with me." "After the election..." "All this secrecy is irritating." "I am looking after you." "You are my job." "There would be votes in it." ""Adviser lucks out." "Candidate head over heels."" " After the election." "If you're ready." " I am ready now." "I know where you went this morning." "It's okay." "I just wish you could tell me." "I would like to." "It's just..." "I am ready." "The mayor is here." "We can start." "I hope the Centre Party also loves your project for schools." "There are lots of good ideas in it." "So many of them like your father's." "I see." "Not that they are old fashioned." "They have his vigorous energy." "That comes from believing in a cause." "It's a shame he never made the grade." "Lots of people agree on that." "That's the way it was." "I intend to right that wrong." "Yes, you could do that." "You are far more robust." "He was much more..." "How should I put it?" "Fragile." "Right?" " Here we go." " We have a problem." "Sarah Lund, CID." " We can't cancel it now." " We must talk to her classmates." "She may just be skipping school." "Telling them will cause panic." "Get them back into their classrooms." "Ask them if they've seen her." " Can we delay the start?" " Of course." " Impossible." "My schedule is tight." " But the pupils and the press..." "It's up to Troels Hartmann." "I am just a guest." " How serious is it?" " Hopefully nothing is amiss." "But I am afraid it's serious." " Right." "We cancel." " Why?" "Thank you." " We can't talk politics like this." " No, we'll find another day." "Can we agree on a new date at once?" "Call my secretary." "Troels, I've got good news for your inner city schools." "Sick leave is up by 20%." "We can't have that, can we?" "So I've allocated funds for maintenance." "Happy?" "See you!" "Return to your classrooms." "You'll all be told why." "Third-year pupils go that way." "Lisa." " Where are you going?" " I have to get..." " I'm afraid Lisa left." " We'll catch her at home." " What's your impression of Nanna?" " A clever girl." "Lots of drive." "She's the best in the class." " There was a party on Friday?" " A Halloween party." "Fancy dress and a band." " What did Nanna come as?" " There were ghosts and pumpkins." "So you don't remember." " Does she have a boyfriend?" " I've no idea." "Ask Lisa." "Nanna?" "Oliver?" " Hello." " Have you seen Oliver?" " Isn't he at work?" " No, and he wasn't at school." "Have you seen Nanna?" " Have a seat." " No!" "Is Nanna with Oliver?" " How badly do you want to know?" " Everyone's looking for her." " They called the police." " What do you mean?" " Weren't you at school?" " I had an assignment to do." "She's been missing since Friday." "Where are they?" "I talked to Oliver on Saturday." "He borrowed his parents' house." " Was Nanna there?" " I think so." "I can't get hold of Theis." "I've left 20 messages." "I have to hang up or he won't be able to call me." " Mom, I got a Robo Monster." " No, you got Snake Devil." "Did Aunt Lotte give you them?" "Did you thank her?" "Yes." "Any news?" "Not yet." "Where's Nanna?" " Still at school." " We're meant to go swimming." " Can you take us instead?" " I'll take them." "Hi, Ruddi..." "Yes, where?" "Okay, thanks." " Theis' car is in Humbleby." " I'll call you." " You say you've bought it?" " Yes." "Pernille has no idea, so mum's the word." " You can't live in the country." " It's two minutes from downtown." "We've been talking about it for ages." "The firm's growing, and the kids." "Now the firm and family will be separated." "The boys will have their own rooms." "Pernille will have a new kitchen." "And you see the window up there?" "The top floor is Nanna's." "With her own staircase and all." " It must cost an arm and a leg." " It's an investment, Vagn." "I've got a big family." "What's the matter?" "Nothing." "There'll be room for you, too." "In the cellar." "You'll need extra income with all those expenses." "I can get 30 new BO TVs." "Flat screens." "It's easy as pie." " Are you in debt?" "Is that it?" " Listen." "I've got buyers for half of them." "I need a forklift, that's all." "Here." "And forget the BOs." "You don't have to do that." "I'll pay you back, I promise." "They can't find Nanna." "They found your video card..." "Half the class wear those tops." "It may not be hers at all." "And what about the video card?" "Beats me." "There must be an explanation." "Did the police talk to Lisa?" " They can't find her." " And what about that jerk?" " Nanna isn't seeing Oliver anymore." " Have they talked to him?" "I don't know." " Where are you going?" " I have an idea where she might be." " I'm coming." " Stay here in case she comes." "Stay here!" "Baby, take it easy." "She's fine." "I'll find her and bring her home." "I'll drop you off at granny's." "You've got your key, right?" " So we're not moving after all?" " I have something to do first." "So have I." "I told you, Mom." "Magnus' birthday party." "Mark, our plane is tonight." "We decided ages ago." "And that's that." "You look like a moose with the mumps." "Mark, you'll love it." "It's a great school." " And I'll have more time for you." " He's not my father." "No, of course he isn't." "He's found you an ice hockey club." "You must be sick of being the youngest at FCK." " Yes?" " KSF, actually." " I am on my way." " KSF." " Yes?" " You get it wrong every time." "KSF?" "You've got your key, right?" " How positive is the trail?" " Pretty positive." "The dogs followed the trail from the finding place to here." "We also found some hair caught on a bush." " Where does it lead?" " Here." "Right here." "She zigzagged through the woods and ended up here." "What's around here?" "There's a logging road up there." "Perhaps she was picked up." "What about her cell phone?" "There's no signal." "We've fine-combed her route twice." "She isn't here." "We're wasting time." "Did you hear me?" " Go over it again." " Did you hear what I said?" " Come in." " We have found more traces." "Where?" " Did you get hold of Bremer?" " He's booked till after the election." " And it suits him fine." " His office announced the new funds." " While we were at the school." " How did he know about the 20%?" " Maybe he did his own survey." " With the same results, Morten?" "You shouldn't have cancelled." "A girl is missing." "I had no choice." " It's Therese." " I'll call you back." " No, we must meet." " Yes, but another day." "Someone is trying to dig up dirt on you." "A reporter called me." "I can't explain it right now." "We have a fund-raising do later." "You could come over." "Yes, of course." "Bye." "Lisa?" "Where is Nanna?" "With that jerk?" " What floor?" " I don't know where she is." " She isn't up there." " I don't care who she's with." "I want to see her." "Where is she?" "Oliver's mom and dad are away." "Maybe they went to their place." "Where is it?" "The address, Lisa!" " Yes?" " She's with Oliver." " At his parents' place." " Are you sure?" "I just talked to Lisa." "I'll go get her." " Are you sure she's there?" " Of course I am." "I'll pick her up, okay?" "Don't worry, baby." "Goodbye, darling." "The helicopter, three forensic units..." " I hope you've found something." " A grave." "And you decided to leave me out of the loop?" " You were in a meeting." " I was at your reception." "Hang on a moment." "Have you found something?" " We'd better arrest the boy scouts." " It's nothing." "Pack up and come home." "Give me a full report." "Say hello to Foxy." "Hello." "Would you like a canapé?" "A glass of wine?" "No, I'll be going right away." " How's the ministry?" " Fine." " Your polls impress them." " So they should." "Tell me what happened." "Did you get the reporter's name?" "I wrote it down." "Great." "He asked about when I used to work for you." "He asked if you paid your hotel bills - with your own credit card or the office's." "Did you buy many presents?" "Stuff like that." "I have nothing to hide." "Let them ask away." "That's what I told him." " But how come he knew so much?" " What do you mean?" "He seemed to have your diary." "He knew precisely where you had been and when." "I am not the one who's been talking." "I wouldn't think so." "But who can it be?" "Hello." " Troels, you have visitors." " Yes." " I'd better be going." " Thanks." "Problems?" "I don't know yet." " Call her." "Now." " What's up?" "Hey!" " Don't play dumb." "Nanna!" " Nanna isn't here." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Nanna's not here." " Do you mind?" " Oliver!" "Nanna." "I told you she wasn't here." "Sorry." "Lund, we're all set to go." "It doesn't make sense." "She was here." "Okay, but she isn't anymore." "Let's go home." " Hi, it's me." "Are you coming?" " Not quite yet." "How about a housewarming party on Saturday?" "We could ask Lasse and Nissan and Bosse and Janne." " And my parents and your mother." " Sure." "Fine." "Your mother wants to fix up the guest room if you don't mind." "I'd prefer to have her sleep there rather than on the sofa..." "What's on the other side?" " More woods." "A waterway." " A waterway?" " Have you searched there?" " She went the other way." "In the opposite direction." "I'm afraid we're going to miss the plane." "You catch it." "I love you." "Bye." "What the hell...?" "It wasn't her." "So where is she?" "I'll call the police." "Maybe they have news." "Hang on a moment." "What is it?" "Theis?" " Are the police still out there?" " I'll sort this out." "Okay?" " Wait." "What's going on?" " What have they found?" "Damn, her dad's coming." " Let me through!" " Theis!" "Theis!" "I want to know what's going on." "Is that my daughter?" "Is it?" "Is that my daughter?" "Theis, you can't stay." "Is it my daughter?" "Is it my daughter down there?" "Is it?" "Theis!" "Theis!" "Theis!" "I want to see her." "Theis?" "Theis?" "Please let me see her." "We have identified the owner of the vehicle." "You won't believe it, but it belongs to Troels Hartmann's campaign office." " The politician?" " Yes." "Jan Meyer, the new DCI." "So you're emigrating to Sweden." "Yes, my boyfriend is Swedish." "My son and I are moving." "This just came in." "Take Meyer with you and give him some hints." "A kindergarten on a picnic found it this morning." " We found this." " A video card." "Theis Birk Larsen." " What are you up to, Theis?" "Tell me." " It's a surprise." "See that window?" "The top floor is Nanna's." " Her own staircase and all." " CID." "Theis Birk Larsen?" "He's my husband." "Why?" " You have a daughter." " Yes." "Nanna Birk Larsen, aged 19." "Last seen on Friday." "Take it easy." "She's fine." "I'll find her." "You'll be a really good mayor." "But not this time." " I'm retiring in four years." "Wait." " Why should I?" "A reporter called me." "Someone's digging up dirt on you." "We've been over the route twice." "We're wasting our time." " What's in that direction?" " Woods and a waterway." " Damn, here comes the father." " Is it my daughter?" "Theis!" "We found the owner of the car." "Troels Hartmann's campaign office." " The politician?" " Yes." "THE KILLING" "Nanna Birk Larsen, aged 19." "Last seen Friday evening leaving a party at her school." "She met her assailant afterwards and they drove out here." "She ran over a mile through the woods only wearing a slip." "Then she was tied up and put in the trunk." " What about time of death?" " Nothing certain." "During the weekend." "Possibly Friday." "Nothing has been reported." "Legs and arms are tied together with plastic strips." "She was taken here so she wouldn't be found." "It seems well planned." " Cause of death?" " They don't know yet." "She was assaulted." "There are violent blows to the head and signs of rape." " The car is from Hartmann's office?" " Rented." "Our most important lead." "Hi, Bengt." "I'm sorry." " What happened?" " This girl was found." "I'll tell you later." "I'm really sorry I stood you up." " And Mark?" " He's at my mother's." "I mean tomorrow." "He's starting Swedish lessons at school." "I'll change it to Wednesday." "All right?" "Yes, we'll get a flight tomorrow." "I'll call you about the time." "I'll talk to the teacher." " Just finish it and get up here." " I will." "I love you." " Is the girl connected to Hartmann?" " I'll ask the father at the lab." "Then see if the candidate is involved." "Report back to me." "I can't take this one." "Use him." "I don't want this to be his first case." "I'll call the Stockholm police and..." "No!" "I can't do it." "You found her." "I'll work through the night." "By morning I'll be gone." "It was Friday." "Late afternoon." "We were packing." "We were going to the seaside." " We borrowed a house." " Nanna wasn't going?" "No." "There was a party at her school." "She was staying the night at Lisa's." " What sort of mood was she in?" " She was happy." "She was messing around with the boys." " She dressed up for the..." " Who was she dressed as?" "I think the witch from Donald Duck." "Madam Mim." "Yes." "Why was she wet?" " Her hair was wet." " The car was driven into the water." "Was she politically active or interested in any way?" " No, not really." " Was she talking to anyone like that?" " No." " At the mayor's office, perhaps?" " Someone she mentioned?" " Any boyfriends?" "Not at the moment." " How did she die?" " We don't know yet." "Did she suffer?" "We don't think so." "But we're not quite sure when and how this happened." "So you haven't talked to her since Friday?" " No calls or..." " No." "Anything?" "Something out of the ordinary maybe?" " No." "I don't think there is anything." " It could be anything." " Mundane details." " I got upset with her." "She was being noisy." "I shouted at her for running around with the boys because I was doing the accounts." "She..." "She just wanted to play with them." "The police officers taking you home will seal Nanna's room." "If you think of anything, please get in touch." " How much do you know?" " It is too early to say." " But you'll get him?" " We'll do everything in our power..." " But you will get him?" " Yes!" "We'll do our utmost." "We will get him." "What?" "It was our rented car." " Who knows this?" " The two of us and Morten." " Let's keep it that way." " You shouldn't get involved." "Too late." " Sorry about the late hour." " You found the girl, I hear." "Yes." "We have some questions, so if we could..." "Rie Skovgaard and Morten Weber." "...there are some details you can help us with." "She was found in your rental car." "Who was the last person to drive it?" "It will take a while." "We rented a lot of cars and have thirty drivers." " Who would know?" " Our campaign secretary." "How about calling him then?" "What are the cars used for?" "Anything to do with the campaign." "Campaign materials." "Posters." "When did the high schools receive this?" " Thursday and Friday, I think." " What about Frederiksholm?" " They probably received materials." " "Probably" is of no damn use to me." "We have nothing to hide." "We want to help, but it does take a moment to..." "Was Nanna Birk Larsen connected to your political work?" " No." "She's not listed anywhere." " The campaign secretary is in Oslo." "We need an answer." "People are waiting for this case to be solved." "So I asked security." "The keys were collected by Rikke Nielsen on Friday." " Who is Rikke Nielsen?" " She heads up our volunteers." " She deals with the drivers." " You called her?" "No." "She must be organising the posters." ""Must be"?" " We usually coordinate..." " Stop!" "What kind of a show are you running here?" "Please update the super." "Say we're talking to the head of the volunteers." " There's no need..." " Just do it, please." " Any idea where she is now?" " We'll find out." "This is my best shot." "Sorry, I can't be more precise." " Thanks." " We need to know about the press." " Well, it's bound to get out sometime." " No..." "We want to issue a statement, so we can't be accused of hiding anything." " You can't go public just now." " This is an election." "We can't wait." " You'll have to." " We don't, actually." " You can't impose a blackout..." " Yes, if information is confidential." " I'd like that in writing, please." " Rie, I think we can wait a while." "If you promise not to go public until you've talked to us." "Call this number in the morning." "Ask for Jan Meyer." "He'll update you." " You're not on the case?" " No, but this man is." "Thank you." "We have no choice." " It's too risky to let them run it." " We don't even know the driver." " If the press get wind of this..." " Can outsiders get information here?" " Outsiders?" " Well, people talk..." "They use computers, the local network..." "I don't know." " Are you thinking of Bremer?" " Yes." "Or maybe people helping him along." "Is it possible?" "But not likely." "Why?" "A couple of times yesterday Bremer seemed... well informed." "And a former employee was in contact." "The fund-raising woman." "A reporter is asking around about things that can only come from here." " Why haven't you told me?" " I'm telling you now." " It's nothing." " It sounds serious." "I'll check up on it." " We could do it together." " No." "I want you rested for the Centre Party tomorrow." "Right?" "I'll see you tomorrow." "Go home!" "I'll stay in touch with the police." "They said she was 19." " That's when everything begins." " It's not like it's our fault, is it?" "I damn well hope not." " You're not pulling that one again." " No chance of that." " Why did you say that we'll get him?" " Because we will." "I will." "You don't make promises." "It's page one in the book." "I have my own book." "You prefer running errands for the mayor?" "Good morning." "Sarah Lund, CID." "Rikke Nielsen?" "That's me." "Hello." "I need the name of a driver from this weekend." " Why...?" " The plate is..." "XU 24 919." "A black station car like this one." "We need the last person to drive it." " All the names are in the logbook." " May we have a look at it?" " Yes..." " Thank you." " That was XU..." " XU 24 919." "I am very calm." "You take it easy." "I need the name of the driver." "Police!" " Lund!" " Damn it!" "Fuck!" "DAY 2" "TUESDAY 4 NOVEMBER 7:11 A.M." "Theis called and told me last night." "I don't know any more than you do." "Let's make the best of it." "I can't do everything, so think for yourselves." "Let's get a move on." "I'm not your babysitter." "That load goes to Blegdamsvej." "I'll man the phones today." "The car is being picked up down by the woods." "The papers called, but I hung up on them." "Theis, I don't know what to say." "Do they know who did it?" " Let me know if there's anything..." " The delivery on Sturlasgade?" "I promised them a cherry picker." "They'll have it before lunchtime." "The driver's name is John Lynge." "He's not at his address and has no mobile." "He's a known criminal, and we're going to catch him." "Talk to neighbours, co-workers, local bars, porn shops, anything." "He's 39." "His only living relative is his sister..." "I just have to finish a couple of things here." "He's had no time to plan his escape." "With no bolt-holes he has to surface." "You're not ducking your Swedish lessons." "Bengt knows the teacher." "He'll explain the delay." "We need to check her out." "Text and phone messages, e-mails." "Anything that connects her to the driver." "Just stay with granny." "I'll call you when I know which flight we're on." " Buchard wants a briefing." " Okay, see you." "Bye." "In '96 he was caught flashing in a playground." "Then he raped a girl, aged 14." "In '98 he was put in a psychiatric prison." " Why is he out?" " He was released." " Sarah?" " Talk to him." " The understatement of the year." " I'd like to talk to Sarah alone." "Of course, but if it's about the case..." "We've been through this." "All our things are gone." "Bengt is waiting." "Mark starts lessons tomorrow." "She was still alive when the car went in the water." "I was at the lab." "It takes 20 minutes to fill a car with water." "Plus the drowning." " It's not my case." " She was raped repeatedly." "Vaginally and anally." "The perp wore a condom and took his time." "Mark is so excited about moving." "No...!" "She was abused for several hours." "Bruises indicate she was held somewhere else before the woods." "Then there's this." "It was found in her fist." "Her parents say it isn't hers." "The girl held it so tightly that her hand remained closed in death." "I talked to Stockholm." "You can report there when the case is closed." "It's my way until the end of the week." "Agreed?" " Fine." " We go by my book." "And treat people with respect whether we like them or not." "Now, the car." "No smoking, 30 miles an hour and I don't want cheese chips all over it." "Any particular underwear you prefer?" "How about clean?" "Lisa!" "Is it her?" "Hello!" "I'm talking to you!" "Is it Nanna?" "I don't know." "They all say it's her." "It has just been confirmed that Nanna is dead." "There are no more lessons today." "You are free either to go home to your families or stay here." "None of you should be alone today." "The teachers will be here all day." " Counseling is also available." " What happened?" "I don't know, but apparently a crime." " Was she killed?" " You have unanswered questions." "So do I." "But that's all we know at the present time." "So..." "The police want to talk to you and Oliver." "Are you okay?" "Oliver?" "Oliver?" " I'm not sure." "Maybe." " Where?" "It could have been parked outside the school on Friday but I'm not sure." "And this man?" "Have you seen him before?" " Is that him?" " Just tell me if you've seen him." " I don't think so." " Sure you don't recognise him?" " What did he do to her?" " Maybe at school or elsewhere." "No, I haven't seen him before." "Do you have any idea why Nanna would say she was staying with you?" "I was hoping she was at Oliver's." "Her ex-boyfriend." "But she wasn't." "I thought she was skipping school." "Tell me what happened on Friday." "We worked on the Halloween party." "She was happy." "She enjoyed decorating the hall." "She's very..." "She was very good at things like that." "Then we split up." "We both wanted to shower." "We decided she would come over and we'd go to the party together." "What happened at the party" " Everyone wore a costume." " What about Nanna?" "She was in such a good mood all evening." "Suddenly she had to leave." "I thought it was a bit early, but then someone came over..." "Did she say why she had to leave?" "We said we'd talk over the weekend." "Did she have anyone with her?" "Not that I saw." "Do you recognise this necklace?" "You never saw Nanna wear it?" "No." "She gave me a hug and then she left." "I didn't know it was the last time I'd see her." " He obviously fled." " What did the campaign office say?" "He's not a party member." "He was a temp we used a few times." " And what do the police say?" " That they can't say anything." "Hi." "The press will say we hired a killer and covered for him." "If the Centre Party hears this, goodbye alliance." " We must issue a statement." " Okay." "But inform the police first." " Kirsten and the party" " I'll deal with it." " Are we early?" " Kirsten, you look great!" "Thanks." "I'd better warn you, Troels." "I'm very jealous." "You have no rivals." "The driver delivered his posters to the gym just after noon." "He was seen." "The car was also seen at night." "Maybe he heard about the party and returned." " Are we sure this is the car?" " Photos are on the school's website." "Meyer here." "Hello." "That's out of the question as we talked about before." " Hello?" "Hello!" "What an idiot!" " What's going on?" "That woman from the town hall says they're issuing a press statement." "How are the boys?" "They don't know anything." "I took them to school and tried to be normal." " What about their teacher?" " I told her." "She promised to keep an eye on them." " So they're all right?" " Yes." "Did you call Mum and Dad?" "No..." "I haven't been able to do it yet." " When does school finish, Theis?" " What?" " How could anyone do such a thing?" " We'll pick them up after... art." "Emil loves art class..." "We'll pick them up." "After 2 p.m." "Yes." "She would never get in a stranger's car." "What was she doing there anyway?" "Right now we have to consider the boys." "We..." "We have to be strong now." "And we have to tell them." "Kids!" "Can we fly our kites?" " No, not today." " Why is Dad with you?" "Can we please fly our kites?" " Theis speaking." " It's me." "Don't come home yet." "The police are here, going through her room." "And some photographers arrived." " How long will they be?" " No idea." "Should I get rid of them?" "I was thinking of the boys..." " Call me when they're gone." " Right." "Talk to you later." "It might be a good idea to try out those kites after all." "It's going out as soon as Troels approves the wording." "Good." "Call me if there are any problems." "Good." "Bye." " I'd like to talk to Troels Hartmann." " He's in a meeting." " Your statement's going out." " We can't wait any longer." " I'll have to ask you to wait." " But we can't." "If I'm to leave Bremer, I have to know this isn't just a flirt." " I want a big wedding." " I'd never stand you up." " I'm more interested in this than you." " I'll have to talk to the committee." "I'd appreciate an answer today." "There's a debate with Bremer tonight." " I need to know where I stand." " I'll see what I can do then." "Anything else?" "There is something I'd like to talk about... alone." "How exciting!" "You know how to build suspense." " The thing is that we're..." " Troels?" "Just a minute." " You have to wait." " This is an election!" "There could be accomplices." "We have to get the driver." " If the media think I'm lying..." " The case is confidential." "They can't get the information." "Hang on." " I'm in the middle of..." " Hi, Bengt." "Hello, darling." "You rang before." "There is something..." "Can I call you back?" "The carpenters are here." "When shall I pick you up?" "I'll call you about that later." "What kind of wood do we want for the sauna?" "What kind of wood usually goes in saunas?" " Pine..." " Pine is fine." "That sounds good." " But it depends..." " Later, all right?" "Bye, darling." " We are very close to getting him." " How close?" "Today?" "I hope so." "Okay." "We'll wait." "But it has to be today." "I promise." "I'll keep you posted." "My card." " So it's your case anyway." " For now." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Polar pine." "It's much better than ordinary pine." "Not as much resin." "Let's go, Lund." " For the sauna." " Yes, I get it." "Bad news?" "No." "Just something administrative." "I'm still waiting in suspense." "Yes..." "You know old Elias from security?" "He's been here 25 years and we're giving him a present." "We thought you'd like to chip in." "Well... yes." " How much?" " 100 kroner." " How did it go with the suit?" " We sorted it." "Yeah, looked like it." "He was at his sister's half an hour ago." " But we had someone there." " They left." "She called." "He didn't believe that I don't have it." "He kept shouting about my car." " What did he do?" " What the hell do you think?" "He trashed the salon when he found out I only had 100 kroner in the till." " Any idea where he went?" " Who will he go to?" " He's not my brother anymore." " An old friend or girlfriend?" "No one wants to know him." "Not after what he did." " When did you last see him?" " I don't remember." " Six, seven, eight years ago." " Do you know of any contacts?" " No one apart from that woman..." " Who?" "There was this prison visitor who asked me to resume contact with him." " I refused." " Do you remember her name?" " Where did she come from?" " Some Christian association." "Thanks for your help and for coming." "He killed that girl who was on the news, didn't he?" "That's what we're trying to find out." "Thank you." "Find out about that prison visitor." "And then call me." "What will you be doing?" "Don't bother answering." " Police have imposed a blackout..." " Samson?" "The police have imposed a blackout on the case of Nanna - who was found dead on Monday." "Samson!" "Samson?" "Samson!" "Where are you?" "Where are you, Samson?" "Come here." "Come here, Samson." "Samson?" "It's only a few days." "I talked to the school and he'll stay on." " What about his Swedish lessons?" " I'm teaching him." "I got some books." " Where is he?" " At Magnus'." " What does Bengt say about all this?" " I'm going to call him." " You haven't told him?" " I haven't had time." "I'll call now." " What?" " I hope you won't ruin this." "I just said I'd call...!" "Lund speaking." "Meyer." "I talked to the prison." "He had three prison visitors in all." "One died, one moved." "The third one's not answering her phone." "Is there an address?" "Pick me up in twenty minutes." "I'll be there in five." "I'm on my way." "Why does Nanna's door look like that?" "Emil, come here." "There is something we have to tell you." "Something that has happened to us." "What is it, Mum?" "What?" "Kids..." "What's happened is that Nanna is dead." "She's not coming back." "Why is that, Dad?" "Do you remember the time we saw that big tree out in the Deer Park?" "Lightning had struck it and tore off a big a big branch." "You could say that lightning has struck us." "It has torn Nanna away from us." "Just like the tree in the Deer Park just keeps growing we also have to keep growing." "Where is she now?" "Someone is taking care of her." "In a few days from now... all of us who know her are going to the church to say goodbye." "Will she never, ever come back?" "No." "An angel came and took her to Heaven." "How did she die?" "How did she die, Dad?" "I don't know, Anton." "It just happens." "It happens sometimes." "The police still have no leads in the murder of Nanna Birk Larsen." "Troels..." "Did the Centre Party call?" "Did the meeting finish?" "Half an hour ago." "The police didn't call either." "At least we have a deal with them." "I just talked to Eller." "I'm sorry to have to drop the bomb." "She's up for it!" " Bremer is so unprepared!" " You deserve it." "We deserve it." "The whole city does." " Back entrance, please." " Troels here." "Troels Hartmann, yes." "Where did you get that?" "No, I have no comments." "You're welcome." " What was that?" " A journalist from a news agency." "They know about the car." "We have to get hold of Lund." " You have more money." "Where is it?" " That's all." " Where is it?" "In what?" " In the chest of drawers." "So you moved in with your mother instead of that Norwegian." " He's Swedish." " Well..." "Can you tell the difference?" "She's not there." "There's a bunch of junk mail." "Good evening, police." "I'm Sarah Lund." "We need to speak to your neighbour, Geertsen." " She's away." " Do you know where she went?" "She's abroad." "Did you notice anything unusual on the stairs today?" "No." "Nothing out of the ordinary." " Have you got a visitor?" " No." "It's just my cat." "DCI Lund here." "I need backup." "Suspect may be at this location." " Copy that." "We'll send backup." " Copy." " Lights are out." "He knows we're here." " They're on their way." " We can't wait." "We're going in." " To do what?" "He's stressed out now." "He could do something stupid." " We can't cover the exits." " Get your gun." " I don't use one." " What?" "!" "We're staying here." " No fucking way!" " Meyer!"
