Shut up and sit still!

Fuck!

I need to pull over. Cover him up!

Sit still.

Come on...

Is it anyone we know?

Turn on the radio.

- Good evening, Traffic Police. - Evening.

- This is a one-way street. - Oh, shit.

I need to see your license.

- What's with him? - Too many Jägermeisters.

- Have you been drinking too? - No.

- You're from Uropatruljen? - We all are.

Sorry about your colleague. Just terrible.

We just had a little wake for him.

- Better get your friend home to bed. - Will do.

- Drive safely. - Sure thing. Have a good one.

- Fucking hell! - Put pressure on it.

- Press down on it! - Fuck...

See you soon.

My old informant, Mads Peter, is on his way.

- He'll patch you up. - What about Helle and the kids?

I'll take care of it.

Thirteen kilos.

- What are we gonna do? - We stick to the plan.

Wait a few days, plant the drugs in Khaleghi's shop -

- get a tip-off and nail that son of a bitch.

I meant about the dead guard at Player's Club.

I've got it under control.

SNAKE KILLER

What's up?

- What are you eating? - Penne con pomodoro e pancetta.

I can't visit my mom without getting enough food for a week.

- Sounds nice. - Tell that to my waistline. Want some?

- No thanks. I heard about Player's Club. - I was just there.

- Any suspects? - They went straight for the stash.

They have to have known the place well.

- The deceased? - A guard. Shot with a pump-gun.

Which was also found at the scene.

He managed to fire several shots, one round hit the wall.

Blood tracks suggest he also hit one of the perpetrators.

- Any DNA? - No.

They doused everything with bleach.

Damn... What about the pump-gun?

The serial number's been filed off. Still waiting on forensics.

- Surveillance? - We're checking the area.

- Securing video footage. - Sure.

- I'm going home to catch some z's. - Right.

- Sleep tight. - Thanks.

Hey, Smiley...

I'm sorry about Niller.

- If you ever want to talk about it... - I'm fine. Thanks anyway.

I know a guy who talks to cops. They say he's pretty good.

Thanks, but sitting in a circle and trauma-bonding isn't my thing.

He's helped a lot of people.

- If Niller had reached out... - What Niller did, was his decision.

Keep me posted, and let me know if I can help.

Will do.

There we go.

- It must be a competitor. - I'm not going to hurt you.

Don't be scared.

- Do you think it's anyone we know? - Everything will be fine!

Speak to everyone who works there.

Starting with her.

Camilla?

- Where's Cecilie? - She went home.

Roshan has made up the guest room for you.

I've spoken to baba...

We'd like to offer to buy you out.

Did he say anything else?

We'll need your help with the handover.

And I'll need to meet your supplier.

Magic is mine.

It's not for sale.

- Think of everything you have to lose. - What do I have to lose?

I'm not selling. I want to be involved.

I can show you how we run things. But I can't make any guarantees.

- He's going to the attic. - Yes.

How long have you been using?

I don't know. Maybe a year.

- It's a long story. - It usually is.

I just remembered...

I'm a really bad cook.

How about we go out to eat instead?

You've called Smiley. Leave a message.

It's me. I'm here if you want to check out that carpet shop.

Get out.

Sorry about the hood. It's for your own safety.

It's a new courier. We use several, in case a load is lost.

Edmond? They're here.

We get product via ships, airports and cars across the border.

We have customs officers in Pakistan, Germany and Kastrup.

Mister Van der Meer.

- How was your trip? - Very good, thank you.

I have something for you.

Farhad.

Your product.

We'll set up a new shipment. This time with a real load.

How does 40 kilos sound?

Fantastic.

At least she died before me.

That was her greatest fear.

Having to bury her own child.

I'll contact the authorities for you.

She's going in an unmarked grave. We don't have any family left.

I'm not used to being alone.

- I can check if the shelter has room? - That place is death's waiting room.

Here.

This is to tide you over, give you a break.

Thanks.

- Want to try to get clean? - No thanks. I'm too old for all that.

I've already lived much longer than I should.

I only worry what the Lord will say -

- when he greets me at the pearly gates.

- I didn't know you were religious. - I've seen and done so many bad things.

All that darkness.

It sticks to your soul.

Smiley...

Do you think we made a difference?

Do you know how many kilos you helped get off the street?

You did good, Holger.

Will you stay for a bit? Just until I fall asleep.

- Of course. - Thanks.

Chess move, two words, starts with a 'K'.

No idea.

Michael Lerche? Lisa Dahlin. I'm from...

I know who you are.

- Settling in alright? - Sure, I did my field training here.

- What year? - Eighty-nine 117. Have a seat.

I'd like to talk about your crime scene report from Player's Club.

You say it was done by professionals -

- with knowledge of weapons and tactical entry.

Could they have been cops?

You're friends with Brian Petersen? He did his field training with you.

You two have business here?

We're here to collect what you took. Give it back and nothing will happen.

Listen up, dipshit.

Threaten me again and I'll skull-fuck you beyond recognition.

Got it?

This is my city, I've got three thousand cops behind me. Fuck off.

See you around.

- Do I need a union rep? - I think he and Jim are behind it.

Probably with Klaus Telling and Deon Thomsen.

- We move on the carpet shop tonight. - They know it's us.

We need to push back on Khaleghi.

You don't hold back, huh?

- Do your superiors back this up? - They will.

I was friends with Niels Vejby too.

Maybe drop the witch hunt on individual cops.

They're not cops, they're criminals with a badge.

Listen. Does the line get crossed sometimes? Yes.

I don't condone it But I've known Brian for fifteen years.

He was born with a badge in his hand. He'd never do what you're saying.

Knight fork.

Chess move, two words, starts with a K.

- Lerche? - What?

You need to hear this.

- Still doing your karaoke nights? - We sure are.

- You're not coming. - Hell no.

- Can I get a minute with Jim? - What's up?

What?

- I was just at the factory. - Okay?

- How much did you take? - Come on...

How much?

I took two kilos.

Here's your and Niller's cut. I have Deon and Cosmo's too.

Just take it.

- What the hell were you thinking? - I didn't have a choice.

Don't give me that... Hey.

Honey...

It's so nice that you and your brother are living under the same roof again.

The goods we lost... Cops took them.

We've had trouble with the police before.

- We've always found a solution. - It's different this time.

Not sure this is a war we want to start.

It sounds like they've started it for us.

It might be time to retire and let Farhad take over.

He can't run both your and David's business. Not without Kourosh.

Think of everything we've built and worked for.

We have to protect it now.

Not just for us, but for our children.

We can't let them take that away from us.

What if David gets more involved?

David's too weak, you've said so yourself.

These cops can't be bought or threatened.

Then we go after the people they love.

Hi, Trine.

- What do you want? - I have some of Niller's things.

There are some photos and personal effects.

I don't want to intrude.

- I just wanted to check in... - Cut the bullshit.

Niels may have bought it, but I don't.

- Trine... - You can leave now.

Okay.

- For you. From the guys in the unit. - Get the hell out.

Where were you when he couldn't get dressed in the morning?

When he broke down at the dinner table and paced the floors all night?

- It was our bosses and that bitch... - No, it was you!

You could've helped him if you'd just told the truth.

We have a problem. You were mentioned -

- on one of Lerche's wiretaps.

Two gang members mention a bounty on your, Jim, Deon and Cosmo's heads.

That just means we're doing our job.

I had to take it further up and it's been decided -

- that you're not to have contact with the public.

- They're taking us off the street? - You'll be transferred.

- Can't I just sign something? - It's not that simple.

- A lot of people want you gone. - Are they firing me?

Take your service weapon home, I'll send a unit over.

Are they firing me?

I think they're hoping you'll quit.

Hey, Lerche!

- You should have come to me directly. - Just doing my job.

- They're trying to take my badge. - I'm trying to protect you.

- I've been threatened before. - Protect you from yourself!

Why were you in Colbjørnsensgade on Tuesday?

You were pulled over near Player's Club around the time of the shooting.

I live in Vesterbro.

As far as I know, no one in the department drives an Audi.

Neither of your phones pinged a mast in the area.

We had a wake for Niller, so my phone was off.

I know you. You never turn off your work phone.

- You have the murder weapon. - Yes, with fingerprints and DNA.

From Sonne. The one-legged tank you put in D6.

- Then maybe you should talk to him. - We would, if we could find him.

If there's something you want to tell me, now's the time.

Holger! Are you spaced out?

Your door was wide open.

We should air this place out.

It smells like ass in here.

Are you eating at all?

Or is it just beers in the fridge?

Holger!

Hey! Wake up.

Emergency services.

Hello? Hello.

Camilla? It's me. Where are you?

What's wrong?

Who did this?

It was you. It was you at Player's Club.

Who told you that? Was it Khaleghi?

What did you tell him?

All of it. And they told me all about you.

I've met a lot of psychos, but you are fucking sick.

Does it give you a kick to threaten women and then fuck them?

- No. - I thought I could trust you.

- You can. - You're just like Kourosh and Edmond.

And just like that piece of shit you shot.

Camilla?

Camilla!

Glenn Rasmussen pimped out a lot of the girls on the street.

He forced some to have unprotected sex so they'd get pregnant.

Some men will pay a lot of money to be with heavily pregnant girls.

But when the baby was born, it became a problem for Glenn.

So there was a time when we'd find dead babies in dumpsters around Vesterbro.

We knew it was Glenn, but we couldn't prove it.

And the girls were too scared to talk.

I had a young informant... Lea.

I convinced her to get into rehab -

- but then I heard she was back working for Glenn.

And that she was pregnant and wanted to keep the baby.

So Glenn beat her senseless until she went into labor.

And then he put the baby in a...

- Drop the knife. - What are you doing?

And then I shot him.

Do you think I'm a bad man?

- I'm not the right person to answer that. - Yes, you are.

In NA, they talk about "junkie pride".

It's those things addicts tell themselves.

"I don't fix in front of kids." "I don't shoot up in my arm."

"I don't steal to fund my habit." They lie to themselves.

Not because they're bad people. They're just trying to survive

I don't know who I am if I'm not a cop.

Do you want to get clean?

Of course I do.

I just don't know if I'm ready.

The only way to get out of a hole is to stop digging.

We were at the mall. Suddenly we can't find Karla.

We're running around looking for her, and I get her name on the PA system.

A few minutes later, a sales assistant brings her over.

She's smiling, holding an ice cream that a man gave her.

Then she shows me this...

It's one of Khaleghi's men.

- Ulrikke was approached outside work. - And Mai-Britt at the kids' school.

How the fuck do they know it's us?

Maybe Smiley can tell us?

Did I miss something here?

He's fucking one of the girls from Player's Club. She's the one who talked.

Horny porn chick, extra services include blowjobs -

- prostate massage, gangbangs...

- I'll fuck you up! - Stop!

We had your back after Glenn, and now we're fucked thanks to you.

This is about my fucking kids! What do you want me to do?

IF YOU HAVE EVENING PLANS, TAKE THE DAY OFF

THE STATE DATA NETWORK

HERE'S EVERYTHING I HAVE ON EDMOND KHALEGHI

What's this?

A case proposal on Edmond Khaleghi and the Vipera Clan.

I want those people off the streets. I can't do it myself.

But you can.

Why me? Why not Skovsbøll, Moustakas or one of the others?

Because you've earned it.

You're the future of this department. Not us.

I'm not after Edmond Khaleghi.

I'm after his brother.

There he is.

David Khaleghi? Copenhagen Police. Please come with us.

We just saw the lady who lives in the building you work at.

We had a really nice chat. She says you're always so helpful.

You're in deep shit, David.

We want to help you. But you need to do something for us.

We know everything about Magic. And the Viper.

Edmond is going to be locked up for the rest of his life.

You can still save yourself.

We spoke to Cecilie.

She told us about you and your brother. How he and your dad treated you.

I know you want to be loyal, but they've never accepted you, and never will.

You'll be middle-aged when you get out. By then, Cecilie will have a family -

- and you'll have criminalized yourself even more. Is that really what you want?

You have two options.

Either you go to prison like Edmond, or you help us and get your coke back.

Edmond's going down no matter what. This way, it's just a little quicker.

Hey. I know it's tough.

But what would Edmond do if it were him?

He's getting a shipment in two days at an auto repair shop in Sydhavnen.

I've only been there once, and they put a hood over my head.

You need to give us more than that.

A red smokestack.

We don't have the exact time, but our informant will alert us.

- Is it a registered C.I? - No, but they're known to the unit.

- I need to meet the informant. - Impossible.

I can't approve a source I haven't met.

They're close to these people and feel highly exposed.

We need to protect our source. How do we make sure they're not charged?

Either you tip them off before going in, so they have a chance to flee.

Or they'll have to spend some time in custody until we get the indictment.

And you're sure you want him involved?

He has extensive knowledge of the case at hand.

What's your take on this?

It's a solid case, Henrik.

- What do you need? - A team on our main suspect.

Three surveillance teams, four perimeter units and a search team on standby.

Lerche will coordinate, so I can justify this up the chain.

Fine.

Jørn.

You're still chasing him around like a little puppy.

We'll take the train to Spain. I know people we can buy from on the way.

We'll take a car from Malaga to Marbella where you can get treatment.

It'll be tough, but I know you can do it.

Once you've recovered...

... we'll go to Thailand.

One of those small islands where no one knows us and living is cheap.

Where we can swim with sea turtles. Take long evening walks on the beach.

Where we can get a fresh start.

That sounds like a beautiful lie.

Meet me at Central Station tomorrow. The train to Hamburg leaves at midnight.

Pack lightly and don't tell anyone we're leaving.

How do I know you'll be there?

It was my dad's.

Central Station. Eleven-thirty.

THIS AFTERNOON AT 4.

The south gate: Two suspects, 20s, foreign background.

Armed with handguns. OPS-4 over.

Copy, OPS-4, two armed suspects at the south gate.

Hey.

I'm glad you're helping with this. It's a good case for you too.

Don't talk to me like I'm one of your informants, Brian.

We do things differently, but I've never doubted who you were -

- or what you stood for.

I always did what I thought was right.

- This won't end with Khaleghi. - I know.

I know it wasn't easy for you when we were kids.

I should've looked out for you more, dadash.

I wish I'd been a better brother.

- I think you've checked that now. - I didn't think you'd be here.

Sure. Otherwise, you'd just get yourself into trouble.

Have you been drinking?

Have I what?

Who the hell do you think you are?

A white van just passed by.

License plate Bravo Victor 6-5-3-5-9.

They're coming!

To all units. The vehicle's inside.

Eight kilos? Boys, empty the van.

Faster, come on!

UNKNOWN NUMBER THE POLICE ARE COMING

The cops are coming! Get the drugs out of here!

The van's leaving the site. Alpha One over.

Command! Command! Shots fired!

Stop the car!

Jørn?

Jørn! Lerche!

Help!

It's okay.

- Was he hit? - I don't think so, he just collapsed.

We need an ambulance, an officer's gone into cardiac arrest.

Alpha One over.

Police! Show me your hands!

Okay.

It's loaded.

You won't get away with this.

None of us will.

Command, command. Suspect down. Sierra Four over.

Hi, Brian. Come and sit down.

I wanted to talk about Glenn Rasmussen...

Your shooting case? Wasn't that dropped?

The view around here is that you followed protocol.

I don't see what you could add that would change anything now.

Besides, we'd much rather talk about your future.

Do you know Ivan Bjørnsø?

You were in Bravo?

Ivan oversees biker and gang surveillance.

Khaleghi was just one of many players wanting in on the Danish drug market.

It could mean war in the streets of Copenhagen.

They want me to put together an operational task force -

- with an aggressive approach.

I want you to be part of it.

We get to set our own team.

We answer only to CPI and will have far more autonomy than you're used to.

I thought about taking some time off.

- Maybe go traveling... - With Camilla?

What's the plan?

Move to the Costa del Sol and live happily ever after?

Two weeks and you're both back on the street,

You can't fight who you are. You're a narcotics officer, Smiley.

And I need you out there.

- Hey. Where are you? - Look in the trash can behind you.

There's money in it, and your ticket.

Plus a list of the names and numbers for my friends in Spain.

They're expecting your call.

You have to go without me.

- You promised... - I know.

- I won't do this alone. - You have to.

You've got to get out of here and start over like we walked about.

Why can't you come?

I'm tired of digging.

You should get going, or you'll miss your train.

Goodbye, Camilla.

There is another option.

It's a bit late to grow a conscience, Smiley.

What about you?

Do you agree with him?

- Ulrikke's pregnant. - It's our families, Smiley.

Okay. We have to make sure Khaleghi isn't arrested.

THE POLICE ARE COMING.

If we get the chance...

- You won't get away with this. - None of us will.

... we take him out.

Louise... Could you take us through the events at AutoFix?

We need to get our stories straight.

FROM LEA

We need to show our strength.

Edmond's death must be avenged.

This is Denmark, not Iran.

We can't just turn a blind eye to what happened.

I buried my firstborn today.

Don't you think -

- that I want revenge?

David, my youngest son, has proven himself -

- to be a cunning and excellent businessman.

As such, he will take Edmond's place.

We need to put our own house in order.

Settle every outstanding debt.

Every debt will be paid.
