Copenhagen Police.
How can I help?

Yes, Please send the
pictures through to us.

And he saw them together?

May I take your name?

Pernille Rønnebæk.

And it was in the harbour area
at 19.10 that you saw them?

Yes, please send
any photos to us.

The Investigation

Day 4
14ᵗʰ August 2017

My guys are cataloging and describing
each item that we have found.

We could immediately conclude there
was human blood in the submarine.

Okay.

How much?

Not, that much. And there is no
guarantee that it is her blood.

38,000 litres of salt water
has been through the sub, so

finding anything is an
achievement in itself.

But you have sent the
blood for DNA analysis?

Yes, of course.

We just don't know if it
is enough to get a match.

In addition we found a green
water hose and some iron bars.

Let's catch up later when we are
ready to hand it over to you.

Anna, in your expert
opinion - what happened?

Let us finish our job and then it is
all yours by the end of the day. Okay?

The phone lines have been glowing all morning
with all sorts of info from the public.

Some that state that the accused and
the journalist knew each other.

That they were having an affair and well
known pair in Copenhagen's S&M scene.

Some say that he has a very
active and advanced sex life.

And his closest friends state that he is
innocent and it must be a misunderstanding.

And when will the
room be ready for us?

Should be ready in
couple of hours.

Hi.

Hello.

And then we have received a video
taken by a tourist shortly after 8pm.

On it we can see a small motorised
boat next to the submarine.

How close?

Close enough to easily
go between the two.

And who was in this boat?

We don’t know.

The video is taken around 100 metres away
from a ferry, so we can't see who it is.

Did anyone board the submarine?

Was it not just the
two of them, then?

Or she got off and she was not
on-board when the sub sank.

It's Jens.

Yes.

I have no comment at this time.

Mmmm

Yes, you will be the first to know.

You probably all know Jakob
Buch, our Special Prosecutor.

He's not here to interfere in our
work, but to tell us about his.

Over to you, Jakob.

Yes. Thank you.

As most of you know, the suspect
was remanded in custody for

4 weeks on Saturday on the
grounds of Negligent Homicide.

He may appeal that, but you should have at
least 4 weeks to make progress in the case.

I neither can nor want
to interfere in the

investigation, but I need
to highlight the importance

of finding sufficient
evidence of intention so

we can have him locked up
for the right reason.

Now there are many
possibilities and theories.

Maybe they knew
each other already.

Maybe they had an affair.

Maybe the hatch did kill her or maybe
something completely different.

All of these are theories
and as you know there

is a big difference between
facts and theory.

A theory is something
we cannot prove.

Facts are something
we can prove.

And if we are talking about murder,
then I need to be able to prove it.

Otherwise he walks.

It's that simple.

I thought you would not
interfere in our work?

I am not, but the quality of my work is totally
depending on the quality of your work.

So - all hands on deck.

Thank you.

Thanks.

A person can die in one of 4 ways:
- Natural Death, Accident, Suicide or Murder.

The accused claims
it was an accident.

We believe it was murder.

So these are the two
possibilities we are faced with.

Therefore.

Murder.

Accident.

We know from CCTV, photos and witnesses
that the submarine sails off at around 19.00.

We know that she sent a text
message to her boyfriend at 20.25.

And she writes: 'still alive, btw (that means
By the Way) going down now. i love you.'

You gotta ask if there are signs there
that she is afraid of something.

It doesn't really seem so.

She was a journalist so she is used
to work in different situations.

And on all the pictures we have from the
departure she is happy and smiling.

So

Text message to the boyfriend
at 20.25.

Thereafter we have a black hole.

Until the submarine is seen next morning
at 10.00 and then suddenly it sinks at 10.22.

And the accused is rescued
on-board a small boat and

taken to Dragør Harbour and
brought into our custody.

So, what happened in those 14
hours, between 8.25pm and 10.22am?

Yes?

I'm trying to find out who keeps
tabs on the sea traffic in Øresund.

And if this is stored
and of good enough

quality to see the movements
of the submarine.

And it looks like I need to go
over to Malmö to get this info.

So, I'll have to
report on that later.

Musa?

As part of the questioning
of the accused,

I came across an article
in a Sunday paper.

Our accused makes a statement.

He says:

I hope to get famous
for a criminal act.

Not robbing a bank - Shit no.
No one should be hurt.

Secretly I want to build a gigantic
fireballoon and fly it over Copenhagen.

With a fleet of police
cars following me below.

The balloon will land in-between
the spires on Roskilde

Cathedral while the police
wait to capture me.

And then he says, and I quote:

I don't know if it is exactly
this that will happen

but I sure want to make
a 'Gigantic Happening.'

Then we apparently have
the third possibility.

Yes.

Uhhh, Maibritt?

Yes?

The small boat that was
next to the submarine.

We need to find who
was sailing it.

Okay.

Happening!

Could she have gone
over to the small boat?

And sat there hiding while she wrote an
article about being a victim of a crime.

That would be a bit
of a 'happening!'

But one where no one got hurt.

This is Maibritt Porse
from Copenhagen Police.

I'm calling as we are looking
for the owner of a small

motorboat in relation to a
case we are investigating.

Oh, I don't know exactly, but
we think it is around 24 feet.

Yes.

I understand. But I thought you
could maybe forward a e-mail to

your members and ask them to
contact us if they know anything.

Fantastic.

What's your e-mail?

Yes.

and... is it - dot com?

ah, DK.

Okay.

Thank you.

I will be in touch.

Bye.

Any news?

No, not yet.

But I am calling all sailing
clubs within 45km, also on

the Swedish side and ask them
to contact their members.

We wait and see.

Musa went to pick up a young man
who works at the accused workshop.

I would like you
to question him.

Okay.

We have also made contact
with one of his girlfriends.

Maybe one of them
knows something.

Musa has prepared room #5.

Imagine if it's all
just a 'happening.'

Do you know why you are here?

Yes.

Good.

Then let's get
straight to the point.

How long have you known him?

For...2 years.

What do you do when
you are together?

All sorts...

I mean, I help him
in the workshop.

He's always got some
crazy stuff going on.

Like what?

Well... nothing dangerous.

Just....

ummmm
well...

I cannot possibly imagine that
he's done anything to this woman.

No, but we are just simply trying
to find out what's happened.

We..we talk a lot
about the war and...

sometimes we just speak
German to each other.

Have you ever seen him
angry or aggressive?

Well.. he has a temper, right?

But...

That's required to achieve
anything in this world, eh?

Mmmm

What else did you talk about?

We....we just talk a lot.

About what?

Well...

Our future plans...
and fantasies... and

What sort of fantasies?

I don't know.

It's not....

anything specific.

When will you let him go?

He's been placed in
4 weeks detention.

But that's decided by the judge.

But...

You don't seriously
think he's killed her?

The only thing I think, is that
you are not telling us everything.

What do you mean?

What exactly did you talk about?

Exactly what fantasies?

We talked a lot...
about 2ⁿᵈ World War

and projects for the workshop

and...

historical persons

perfect crimes

hot air balloons.

We are both fascinated by this.

The accused has explained he threw
the body in the sea between

Falsterbro in Sweden and Vedøre and
there are some 35km between the two.

For each specified area we set 4 buoy's
and create a square on the seabed.

Bottom up to the buoy
is called a 'stage.'

20m by 200m.

3 divers together swim
from side to side

and search to seabed to
ensure we don't miss anything.

Once a 'stage' is fully searched, we
move the buoy's and create a new 'stage'

And we carry on and on and on,
square after square after square.

I fully understand this
is not simple, but...

If we can't narrow it down
more, then it could take a

hell of long time to go
through the whole Øresund.

This is Jens.

Yes, you can write that
we have helicopters

in the air and dogs all
along the coastline.

Yes, and also divers in the sea.

No, that's not
possible right now.

No... I promise you will
be the first to know.

hmmm?

Okay. Good.

We need to get going.

We won't find anything
hanging around here.

- Hello Jens.
- Hello Joachim.

Hello.

I...I would like to go
through Kim's computer,

so I have asked Swedish
police to pick it up.

What for?

Just to see if there is anything
there that can help us.

Like what?

Like for example... e-mails, or photos,
Facebook messages. Maybe they knew each other.

No, they didn't. No. No..

Isn't it important that
we confirm that?

Right, but..
Do you have a warrant?

No... no
We don't.

I'm not sure we can just let
you go through her stuff.

Uhh. I don't get it.
Why not?

Because Kim is a
journalist, Jens.

Yes?

There will be info on
lot of people that...

could end up in danger
and need protection.

There are women that risk their
lives for their beliefs.

And they trust her
confidentiality.

Joachim. We are only interested
in something linked to the case.

Yes, but if we just hand over her
computer and passwords then we have

no guarantee that you or someone
else don't also read all the rest.

No, no.
I need to speak to Ingrid first.

How would you describe
your relationship?

Uhhh... as a good relationship!

Yes?

Yes.

Are you friends? or
in relationship? or..

No, we are friends.

and...

then..also a bit...

also a bit?

Yes.

So, you sleep together?

- Yes.
- Right.

Well...

Yes.

Yes.

Has he ever been violent
or aggressive towards you?

No.

Well, unless we agree
on it upfront.

And it is part of the game.

Right.

Okay.

Uhhh... and then we went sometimes
to S&M and Fetish parties.

But it was difficult to
get him to do anything.

Because he is very polite.

And very careful.

Have you ever met the
Swedish journalist?

[shaking head]

Has he talked about her?

No, never.

- No?
- No.

Okay.

Have you been into
the submarine?

[nodding head]

Have you sailed in it?

Yes.

Did you have sex in it?

[nodding head]

Many times?

No, just once.

How was it?

Uhh...what do you mean?

I mean was it S&M
stuff or normal sex?

No. it was just normal sex.
It was just...

Yes it was, I think.

Loving.

Listen now.

He is not a monster.

He really isn't.

Of course I don't know what happened, but
I'm sure he didn't do anything wrong.

I'm sure of it.

Hi.

Hello.

Hi.

I've asked Jakob to join us.

So he can get a picture
of where we are at.

Where is Musa?

He went out to the submarine.

Have forensics finished with it?

No.

But he couldn't wait any longer.

Right.

Nikolaj?

Yes. I have created a time-line
where I have highlighted facts.

and.... what we don't know.
So we are up to date here.

Unfortunately I have not yet been able
to chart the route the submarine took.

The radar control has either been
wiped or is not detailed enough.

Any help from Malmö?

I am still waiting for
them to come back.

What about you?

- Anything new?
- Yes.

So far no luck in finding
the small boat, but we have

questioned some people and it
is clear that the accused was

fascinated by the thought of
committing the perfect crime

and that he had a sex life
pushing all normal boundaries.

And then there are the rumours that
they knew each other beforehand.

And what do these rumours say?

Many that say they know someone who has seen
them kissing at a bar in Christianshavn.

Or that they have been
together to sex parties.

However, nothing that has
been confirmed first hand.

But we've had a tip from a woman,
that heard that a doctor

from Ryde hospital had seen
them kissing in Christianshavn.

A doctor?

Yes, a Lennart Stauner.

Have we spoken to him?

No, but I have set up a
meeting with him later.

If he confirms their relationship, then we
need to re-look at jealousy as a motive.

Yeah.

Or someone is taking
us for a ride.

When was it exactly that the
little boat was next to the sub?

At 20.15.

So, it was before she
sent the text message.

Nikolaj, let's add
that to the time-line.

Yes, sure.

This is Jens.

And where did you hear that?

What was the name?
Lennart..

Lennart Stauner.

Are you planning
to put that out?

No, we definitely have
no comment to that.

What was that?

The press has apparently also
heard that they had an affair.

One of the papers are thinking
to make it a headline.

They say it will take
at least one more hour.

Why don't you go home and
start over tomorrow?

Its getting late.

What do I do at home?

Sleep.

I haven't been waiting all weekend for
this and then just go home now to sleep.

Okay.

We have investigated various aspects of
the case, but I can't go into details.

But we are still missing the body.

We fully assume that we
are looking for a body.

And that we do primarily
in the sea around Køge.

Both on the Danish and
the Swedish side.

Nero!

Come.

It's Jens Møller.

Hello, this is the News Channel,
I wanted to ask if you would

come in and talk to us about
the latest in the submarine-case.

The submarine-case?

Is that what you call it?

Something that the tabloids
seem to have done.

It's much too early to say
anything at this point. But I do

promise you will be the first to
know when there are any news.

Is that okay?

Yes, I look forward
to hear from you.

Good.
Thanks.

Hi Musa.

What's up?

Okay.
I'm on the way up.

Panties and tights.

Where were they?

In the bottom of the
submarine under a drain.

How have they ended up there?

They think they were
was placed there.

So, they didn't wash down there
when the sub was emptied?

They don't think so, but
it cannot be excluded.

Why on earth would
she put them there?

Are they hers?

Maybe?

They have been brought to
forensics for DNA analysis.

Day 5
15ᵗʰ August 2017

Coffee?

Thank you.

This is Maibritt.

She is part of the
investigation team.

- Hello.
- Hello.

I understand there are some
things you don't want us to see?

No, nothing you can't see. But
some things you can't copy.

Our daughter is a journalist and there
are many that trust in her confidentiality.

It's really about
protecting her sources.

Yes, of course.
My apologies.

Well, Maibritt will liaise
and work with you on this.

Shall we start?

- Yes.
- Yes.

Everything should be here.

All these photos are from
The Marshall Islands.

The Americans did 67
Atomic bomb tests there

between 1946 and 1958,
if I am not mistaken.

Kim along with two colleagues went there
to write series of articles about it.

That's, where these
pictures are from.

The poor children didn't
understand any of it.

They said there were two sunrises.
One in the east and one in the west.

And then it suddenly snowed.

They had never seen snow before.
They were so

happy that they rushed
out and played in it.

But of course it wasn't snow.

It was radioactive ash.

It lies in the middle of the Pacific
Ocean between Hawaii and Australia.

Right in between actually.

It's like a ticking bomb.

And even if the US did a
big cleanup in 1978..

There it is. But they just
removed the radioactive

stuff and covered it
in this concrete capsule.

But the fact is

that the plutonium has a
half-life time of 24,000 years.

It is just a matter of time
before the concrete shell

breaks and all the radioactive
material goes into the sea.

Well, yes. She won
numerous awards...

for that story.

Even though everything points to
that they didn't know each other,

I still would like to
discuss something with you.

One of the newspapers called me

and they are considering
to print a story, that

is based purely on rumours.

What kind of rumours?

That Kim and the accused
did indeed know each other.

And that they were
having an affair.

I'm very sorry to have
to bring this up.

It is likely that this story
will be the headlines tomorrow.

And I wanted that you learned
about it beforehand.

Good God!

But it isn't true.
What sort of journalists are they?

Hi.

How's it going?

Good.

I've never worked a
murder case, that I could

just leave in the office
when I went home.

- Maibritt?
- Yes.

I don't know how it is in
the Police, but here

we don't have time
for this kind of stuff.

I can give you 5 minutes.

That's fine.

We can can go this way.

I don’t know what you are on about.
Are you sure you have the right person?

Yes, I am sure.

Well....what is it, I
am meant to have said?

You said that you saw the two kissing
at a Cafe down in Christianshavn.

Why would I lie about it?

To make yourself important?

If there is nothing else...

There is.

Pernille Rønnebæk.

Does that name ring any bells?

Yes.
Why?

She is the one who called us and
said that you two had sat next to

each other at a dinner and you stated
that you had seen them together.

In Christianshavn.

If it isn't true, then I best go back
to her and ask why she is lying to us.

Yes, maybe it is true.

Very good.

When was it you saw
them together?

Well, I didn’t actually.

- What do you mean?
- I didn't see them together.

So, you were lying?

I heard it somewhere, but said it
like it had been me that saw them.

Okay!

Who did you hear it from?

Well, that I can't remember.

I don't know about you, but in the Police
we don't have time for this kind of stuff.

And I don't think the
victim’s family has either?

Day 6
16ᵗʰ August 2017

- Hello.
- Hi.

Uhh.. I need to speak to
the Head of Serious Crimes.

I'll see if he is available.

Here you go.

Sorry, we only have water.
Coffee is not ready.

Thanks.

Uhh...Well...

I came because I've
heard that you...

have been looking for my
boat in relation to the

Swedish journalist and the
submarine and all that.

Yes.
Correct.

I don’t know if I need
to have my lawyer here.

I don't know.

What were you doing
at the submarine?

Nothing.

Right.

You just confirmed that it was your
boat next to the submarine, right?

Yes.

It was maybe not you on it?

Yes, it was.
But...

I was never ever up
against the submarine

uhhh....

We were maybe 4 or 5 metres away.

OK, trying to find it...

Right...

My son was fascinated by the
submarine and we took this photo.

That was all.

I was all up in arms
when I read about it.

Maybe that you would think I was involved.
But I am not.

So you don't know anything about
the submarine and the journalist?

No.
Only what has been written..

Well...

We spoke to them for no more
than couple of minutes.

And that was that.

Yes.
Okay.

Many thanks for
coming in to see us.

So we could clarify this.

I'll see you out.

- I can go?
- Yes, sure.

We'll just pop in to IT, so they
can get a copy of the photo.

Yes, no problem.

Hi, you have called Cecilie. I can't take
your call, so please leave a message. Bye.

So, you are here?

Yes.

How is it going?

Are you making progress?

Yes...
or...

Everytime we think we have found
something it turns out to be nothing.

How about you?

Me?

I'm fine.

Did you speak to Cecilie?

What if she is angry at me?

She is.

She tells you that she is pregnant
and you just left.

Day 11
21ˢᵗ August 2017

We need to become more
targeted in our search.

Who can say for sure that the body
hasn't washed all the way to Poland?

No, one can say for sure.

Put a hand over one eye...

and imagine looking through
a paper roll with the other

and then look for a needle
on a football pitch.

That is what I am
asking of my people.

Everyday, Jens.

From sunrise to sunset.

Down to 12 metres depth.

I've just heard from forensics.

Unfortunately they have not found any
DNA traces on the panties or tights.

And what about the divers or the
helicopters? Nothing from them?

Nope.

Some Swedes believe they
may have found some of

her clothes. But it
really could be anyone’s.

It's Jens.

No, I have no comment to that.

But I promise, you will be
the first one to know. Okay?

Thanks.

We basically have nothing.

- Also there.
- Hmmm

And there or what?

- Not the same.
- No, no. I would agree.

It's Nikolaj Storm.

Look at that again.

When?

Yes.

Sure.

We're on our way.

It's Jens.

Jens, it's Nikolaj.

Are you on the way home?

Yes.

You best turn around.

Why is that?

Because the torso of a dead woman
has just washed on shore in Amager.
