N�stved High Court
15.20, Friday September 8

Ingrid Dahl, you're chief
of Homicide in Unit One.

Did the accused confess that
he'd murdered his wife Ulla?

Yes.

Have you had other cases
where an innocent person

- has confessed to a crime?
- We all have.

So a confession is not proof
that the accused is guilty?

Not necessarily.

Something more tangible
is needed?

- Forensic evidence...
- Yes.

So no forensic evidence
was found to prove

the accused committed
the crime?

No prints on the stocking
that garrotted Ulla

or on the plastic bag?

- She was in the bog for 14 days.
- No forensic evidence?

I'd like to return to this
so-called confession.

So-called, because the accused
has withdrawn his confession.

Could one imagine...
Can you imagine...

that Bj�rn Englund was
in the same situation

as a person who feels guilty
because a child got hurt

and they weren't present?

Could he have confessed
to get some peace?

No, I cannot.

You cannot imagine that?
No...

When did Bj�rn
retract his confession?

Trine!

- I can't talk to the press.
- Talk to me. Off the record.

When Kirschner started
defending him.

Oh?

- Guilty pleas are not profitable.
- He's guilty?

100 per cent.
Off the record.

Okay. Bye.

Sins of omission are the worst.

I'll see you Monday, Fischer.

- Fit for a fight?
- I think so.

It will all work out.
Relax over the weekend.

He's not invited
to my birthday party.

Villingg�rd Estate
16.30, Friday September 8

Hi.

I'm one tired man.

- No work this weekend?
- No.

I bought this for Cecilie.

She'll love it.

- Why don't you give it to her?
- No.

Hi, Cecilie.

- What's wrong?
- Mum says no party tonight.

I said we three should
spend some time together.

We can do that another time.

- I'll pick you up at 11.30.
- I'll sleep over at Julie's.

I don't want you to sleep over.

- All the others do.
- Listen to Mum.

I'm never allowed
to do anything.

- Give her a cab home.
- With some stranger at night?

- Anne...
- Not while he's at large.

He isn't.

I think he's forgotten us.

Mum! Dad!

Cecilie?

5 MILLION - OR DIE

5 million.

He's back.

UNIT ONE

EPISODE 11

It's beautiful here.

Coming, Tobias?

A message for you.

- Dinner tonight? Boysen.
- Your boyfriend?

No.
We dine occasionally.

- You're screwing?
- No.

Are you? I don't mind.

- Aren't you saying goodbye?
- Bye.

- Watch the lip. Shall I...
- Butt out, Mum.

What's up?

He moped all weekend.
I can't reach him.

Doesn't he like the school?

- That's not it.
- What, then?

- Nothing.
- That's not true, Gry.

Don't get involved.

Is he in love?

- See you Friday?
- Sure, if I can.

No, I'll be here. I will.

Take care.

I'm not sending Cecilie
to school.

No, of course not.

Anne...

- Shall I cook lamb tonight?
- Yes. You do that.

See you.

- Why don't we move to the flat?
- Anne...

- It wouldn't help.
- He walks right in here.

The police are here now.
Nothing will happen.

We'll get him.

- Want something from town?
- No.

I'll call.

Wish me luck.

You say he strangled Ulla
in the kitchen,

N�stved High Court
09.15, Monday September 11

but that presupposes
she got home that night.

- We presumed she did.
- Based on what?

- We arrested two witnesses.
- You did?

Is Unit One in the habit
of arresting its witnesses?

Drugs were found on them.

So we're talking about witnesses
who were addicts?

What time did they see
Ulla Englund enter her house?

- Around midnight.
- Midnight?

Stories about her disappearance
had been in the press.

No witnesses. But when arrested
they conveniently recall

that Ulla entered her house
at midnight the week before?

- There's a reason...
- Possibly.

But I asked if they were
sure of the time?

They were.

Which suits your agenda,
after which they're let go.

- Kirschner has a problem.
- His conscience.

The witnesses
didn't speak Danish.

Now it's our problem.
He's a victim of vandalism

and threats by phone and mail.

He's stepped on some toes.

He had a break-in last Friday.
Nothing was stolen, but...

across a photo was
a written demand for 5 million.

It may be
an attention-seeking fool, but...

the local force has
requested help.

Assistance from Homicide?
You did say no.

I started by refusing.

Ulf, we've got four homicides
on hold.

I told them,
but Madsen scratched his ulcer

and went over my head.

Kirschner's a big fish
and we've got an order.

The chief wants the bunker
relocated today.

You claim he strangled his wife
who was having a footbath?

It's not my claim.
It's what Englund confessed to.

A confession
since withdrawn.

It fits with our observations
of the corpse.

She was found barefoot
with traces of bath salts present.

She may have bathed
somewhere else.

Yes, but it's unlikely.

Please explain.

It was a rare, herbal bath salt
bought by them in Germany.

I can't quite see how

bath salts, however unusual,
can justify a murder charge.

Hi, there.

- You found the time to come?
- He interests me.

- Yes, he's a sweet guy.
- I mean Kirschner.

- Oh, I see.
- I once had a case with him.

- Yes.
- Hi, Helene.

- You did well on the stand.
- Oh? Thank you.

I'll pop outside.
I've just quit smoking, so...

- When did you arrive?
- A short time ago.

- That's nice.
- You think so?

And to conclude, this is the most
serious charge one can face.

That of killing
another human being.

The woman the accused
loved more than anything

and the mother
of their children.

So I'm asking...
What have we got here?

Such diffuse
forensic evidence

that it cannot and should not
be considered.

Even if it comes from
our top police unit.

And a confession!

A so-called confession
made in the accused's car

who was in
an emotionally chaotic state

after a failed suicide bid.

That's why we now know
the confession is not credible.

Hi. I heard it on the radio.

- Congratulations, darling.
- Thanks.

What's the matter?

It's almost grotesque.

- You know who's guarding us?
- No.

Down! Down, damn it!

Villengg�rd Estate
14.31, Monday September 11

He could have hit all three of us.
We were completely exposed.

He wants to prove
he can hit us at any time.

- We can get you a safe house.
- Stop it!

It's your fucking job
to protect us.

I'm sorry, but...

Listen.

Us in a safe house?
For six months, a year?

Our family must function,
my job...

If he's found us here
he'll find us there too.

- We're staying put.
- Do you agree, Anne?

- Yes.
- We hoped you'd say that.

It's attempted homicide.
We've sent for the AKS.

- AKS?
- A special action force.

We'll place 30 to 35 men
around Villingg�rd.

Some you'll see,
others you won't.

They'll be here day and night.
They're trained.

In a way,
we hope he'll come back.

If he does,
he won't get away.

Why involve me?

- We slept together.
- Yes.

Just write that and I'll get
my divorce in no time.

- It was after your wife left.
- So what?

- Her guy can sign.
- He's bailed.

- So you make her jealous?
- Meaning?

- That Disneyland trip.
- I promised the boys.

She must be told
there's someone else?

She knows.

I don't want to be a pawn
in someone's game.

You're not.

I just want you to become
Mrs Olsen real quick.

I must pack.
We fly out in three hours.

- There.
- Thanks.

- See you.
- Excuse me!

Shouldn't you do it properly?

- On your knees.
- I can't.

No Mrs Olsen, then.

Gaby.

I love you.

Please marry me.

What's eating you?

I've got a feeling
I won't like this case.

No one does.

We should learn
from the Americans.

- You're meant to ask "what".
- What?

They're using lawyers
for scientific research

instead of rats.

You know why?
You're meant to say "no".

- No.
- Right.

There are more of them

and they'll do things
even rats won't do.

And finally...

You see...

It's funnier watching them
running starkers on that wheel.

- You almost made me laugh.
- I thought so.

- Hi, Johnny. Hi, Gaby.
- We live here too, you know.

Give us a hand.

- That's too advanced for me.
- For me too.

- His knee's locked.
- Were you on your knees?

- Give me a hand.
- Come on.

- That looks bad.
- No, no!

Easy does it. I'm okay.

Johnny, what were you doing
on your tiny knee?

Coffee?

- Shall I call a doctor?
- No, I'll walk it off.

I'm leaving.

- Can you drive?
- Yes.

Here's my statement.

- See you.
- Yes.

- Have a good trip.
- Have fun.

Gaby.

- He wasn't proposing, was he?
- That's a felony.

- Why?
- It's bigamy. He's married.

That's two years, mandatory.

Okay.

I see it. Right, Ingrid.

We need to talk to this man.

Bachmann-Hansen...
On the estate.

- Poul?
- Yes.

Rings a bell?
He was the contractor

who was bankrupted years ago.

Kirschner ran the case
against him,

bankrupted him
and bought him out.

- Why's he still around?
- You can find out.

- Of course I will.
- I'm off to the crime scene.

He rested on his elbow?

The first shot...

They might think I missed.

So I aim over there...

to show them
that it was not a miss.

From here I can take them
one at a time.

But I don't do that.

Because...

I just want to scare them.

Yes.

They're now terrified
about when I'll pick them off.

And I enjoy that.

I hate this family.

Interview with
Poul Bachmann - Hansen
16.54, Monday September 11

- Yes?
- Hi.

- Well... A cop?
- Yes.

My name's Fischer,
I'm from Unit One.

The super league?

- Want some coffee?
- Sounds good.

That's an impressive
collection.

I only need one more trophy.

Hans Henrik Kirschner's head
on a nail.

I'm afraid
it would ruin my decor.

- This is Kirschner's house?
- Yes.

- On what terms do you stay?
- A gentlemen's agreement.

He had me declared bankrupt
so he thought he owed me.

So you live here rent-free?

Grand gesture, eh?

- Cheers.
- Yes, cheers.

It's walnut schnapps.

Enjoying your retirement?

I'm recharging...
For round two.

Where were you today
around 15.30?

Here. I was asleep.

- Regretfully alone.
- You heard nothing?

Like what?

A shot?
Or a car speeding away?

I don't sleep nights.

But during the day
I sleep like a log.

Are you still hunting?

I don't do anything.

I've become a weirdo.

I pity the animals.

And shooting people's illegal.

Somebody took a shot
at Kirschner.

- But the idiot missed?
- Yes.

We don't find it
all that funny.

It wasn't me.

I wouldn't miss.

Cheers.

Do you have a sight
for that rifle?

Yes.

May I take it in
for examination?

Go ahead and waste your time.

It hasn't been fired
in six months.

One more?

Yes.

Hi, Falcon.

I scared you a little bit?

Well...

- Are the troops positioned?
- Every last one.

In the main building,
basement, attic,

outbuildings, forest
and all access roads.

Inside and out is covered.

- They can sleep safe now.
- I think so.

Okay.
Let's call it a day.

- Well. See you.
- See you, IP.

- Did you book a room?
- Yes.

I want to keep a date
in Copenhagen.

You'll be back in an hour?

That's the question.

- Have fun.
- Thanks. Bye.

I've booked a table
at Villa Galina.

- Oh?
- Near BonBonland.

- The amusement park?
- Yes.

It should be quite cosy.
I can't offer you anything.

Never mind.

You had a case with Kirschner?

A man who confessed to raping
and killing a young woman.

- But Kirschner got him off.
- How?

He was declared
legally insane.

I was an expert witness.
He wasn't insane.

The court believed
Kirschner's two foreign experts.

Why write the threat
on the daughter's photo?

He enjoys frightening
Kirschner and his wife.

I think it is...

a game of submission
and dominance.

So... It will stimulate him
even more now the unit's here.

Nice to arouse enthusiasm.

Will you answer your phone
next time I call?

- Yes, I promise.
- Fine.

N�stved
07.30, Tuesday September 12

Tell him to call off the police.

Got it?

Slow down, Ingrid. Damn it.

- Was Boysen your date?
- I cancelled it.

Why?

I don't know.

Tobias...

He doesn't return my calls.

He says he cut his lip in PE
but that's a lie.

- Boys fight.
- Not all.

They do.

Why am I not having breakfast
with Gry and Tobias

and planning dinner?

We rush around
in our "important" job.

And then Kirschner
gets the murderer off.

He's sweet.

- What?
- Boysen.

Oh, him!

He is... he is.

- And?
- I don't know.

I'd like you to lose your head
and just do what you like.

Stop thinking and enjoy life.

- I miss S�ren.
- He wants to see you happy.

Hi, IP.

Okay.
Send Fischer to the hospital.

- Where are you going?
- To school.

- No way.
- That's not up to you.

- Yes, it is.
- What's up, Cecilie?

- I'm sick of this.
- Get inside.

I hate it.

- I want to see your husband.
- He's inside.

- Okay if I find him myself?
- Of course.

Morning.

Morning. Any news?

Pia Hansen?

Know her?

- Pia Hansen? No.
- Junior solicitor, 32.

Oh, yes. That Pia...
Of course I do.

She worked for us
until six months ago.

- That's the only connection?
- Yes. Very talented girl.

If you want my help
you must help me.

She was attacked an hour ago.

The message was for you
to call off the police.

How long have you been lovers?

Anne doesn't know?

You must tell her.

Stay out of this.

Damn it!

Okay. I'll pay up.
I'll pay him the 5 million.

I'm against that.

That's up to me.
The police can go!

- And leave this?
- Stay out of my private life!

Wish I could.

I thought you might like
some coffee.

Now he's going after our staff.

Look.

He's mad.
She's no longer working for us.

Who's next?

My sister? My mother?
I'll pay the damned 5 million.

- We can't raise that much.
- Damn it, Anne, I'll fix it.

Morning.

- How is she?
- Not too good.

Connection to Kirschner?

It's the classic story.
But we're in luck.

She scratched him
so perhaps we've got some DNA.

- I'll take that.
- Good.

Call for Kirschner!

Kirschner here.

Did you get my message?

- Who... who's speaking?
- It will really hurt next time.

What have I done to you?

The footbridge
across the stream, right?

Cycle out there at 10 tonight
with 5 million in a sports bag.

Got that?

I can't go by bike.

I've broken my leg.

I fell down the stairs
this morning.

But I'll be there.

My wife will drive.

No police, do you understand?
No police involved.

- He said "no police".
- Yes.

It's my responsibility.
The action force stays,

or the handover's not on.

Okay.

- He's clever.
- Professional?

A clever amateur.
The bike's a smart move.

He can get them with one shot
anywhere here.

Kirschner must walk to the bridge
and back. He's good.

- But you're better?
- Let's see.

I'll have men there and there,
in the trees,

vehicles, a chopper ready,
and 15 men in the area.

We'll get him.
He's not that good.

- Did you trace the call?
- It's his speciality.

- He used a stolen mobile.
- A transmission tower?

In N�stved.

He chose a good place.

I dare not let the handover
go ahead.

He's a sniper.
He can take them all along here.

Ingrid's right.

Imagine if Kirschner
and his wife got killed

in a botched action by Unit One.

I'll get him before he fires.

There's another way.

Villingskov
21.55, Tuesday September 22

They're out in the open now.

I haven't congratulated you.

He needs
his divorce first.

- Looking forward to it?
- Yes.

- Congratulations, then.
- Thanks.

Haven't you ever wanted
children and that?

Yes, but children
and this job...

They don't go together.

Here we are
in our bulletproof vests.

Are they bulletproof?
Can they stop a rifle shot?

Yes, an ordinary rifle.

But he may go for a head shot.

Okay.

They're near the bridge.

- Fine. Thanks very much.
- Did they get away?

Thank God.

That thing about "the most
serious charge one can face"

was well put.

What's your point?

It was concluded
Bj�rn didn't kill his wife.

Legally...

But what if he did?

I can live with a murderer
getting off.

But not
a miscarriage of justice.

And that would have been
the case with Bj�rn?

Aren't we getting theoretical?

What do you mean?

You're asking...

for my...

- My personal assessment?
- Yes.

- I can't answer that.
- I can.

You think he's guilty,
but not legally speaking.

- You can't say that.
- Why not?

The police tried to prove
he'd killed his wife

and Unit One
failed to do so.

- And...
- But in reality?

Anne, you're sometimes
so damned naive.

If you think he's guilty,
why tell him to retract?

I never said he was guilty!

This is first-year
law student stuff!

Why must you always fight?

For how long is he
staying on my tail?

Cecilie!

Let's hope your stalker
doesn't find a good lawyer.

Know what I think?

You're the one
who's getting on our nerves.

Trine...

I can resist anything
but temptation.

Okay. Bye, Trine.

- That was Trine.
- Oh?

Their archives have a lot
on Kirschner.

- She'll mail us.
- Fine.

Perhaps we could give her
the first tip?

- She makes you happy?
- No.

- I'm too old for that.
- Are you?

How are things at home?

It's hard.

Kirsten's trying, but...

Well done! Thanks.

- Did he turn up?
- No.

Oh, damn it!

Kirschner...

Collect your money.
Do you take me for a fool?

Hello?

He won't stop.

Yes?

N�stved
08.55, Wednesday September 13

Bye. Bye, Helene.

You're answering
your phone now?

Kirschner had a murderer
declared legally insane.

What's new?

He died six months later
of an overdose.

A very big overdose.

- Morning.
- Hi.

- Where did you get those?
- Press archives on Kirschner.

- He's been a busy boy, eh?
- This is all about Bachmann.

- We've got the lab report.
- And?

His gun's clean.

- Ingrid, I'll return this one.
- Okay.

- He must have heard something.
- I'll go with you.

We'll enjoy our coffee, then.

We sympathise.
He took you for everything.

- Not my sense of humour.
- But...

You must have seen something.

Has somebody been asking
about Kirschner?

A journalist turned up
six months ago.

He was researching
my sad life, he said.

But he was more interested
in Kirschner.

I told him about Hans Henrik.

- More than I like to admit.
- For example?

Habits.

- Weaknesses.
- Mistresses?

Her too.

But he never wrote an article.

- What was his name?
- Lars Merlov.

Forget him.
He doesn't exist.

I checked.

Was this the man?

He killed y girlfriend.

- That's him.
- Are you sure?

Positive, his unhappy face
sticks in my mind.

- He may be your man?
- Yes, perhaps.

Not that I'm keen
to help Kirschner.

But he's a human being
after all. Cheers.

Nut schnapps.

- Walnut schnapps.
- I knew that.

Martin Steensgaard.
He's about 30.

Yes. Give me the address.
Bloody great.

He lives right here in town.

- Anne speaking.
- It's gone up to 10 million.

- Leave us alone.
- And no shit this time.

Or Cecilie will end up like Pia.

Why are you doing this?

You know what he's doing
with Pia, don't you, Anne?

- With Pia?
- He's fucking her, isn't he?

That's what he uses
your town flat for.

But you knew that.

What's up?

Tell her.

Tell her about Pia.

- Do you have someone else?
- Of course not.

Oh? Only legally speaking?
It's not something real?

- How is that done?
- Stop it.

- The talented Pia must know.
- Stop it!

- Are you getting a divorce?
- No, of course not.

That's something
for us both to decide.

You can't mean that.

Get your act together, Falcon.

- Cecilie slipped out.
- Oh, no.

Suspect's address
09.45, Wednesday September 13

He killed y girlfriend.

Fischer?

Fuck!

They've found Cecilie.
She was with her boyfriend.

It's September 13 at 12.40.

Interrogation
of Martin Steensgaard.

Charged with the murder
of Allan Friman,

the assault of Pia Hansen,

and the attempted homicide
of Hans Henrik,

Anne
and Cecilie Kirschner.

The illegal possession of arms,
assaulting an officer and theft.

Chief Inspector Ingrid Dahl
present.

You're not obliged
to say anything.

You found your girlfriend's body?

You witnessed Friman confessing
to her rape and murder.

- And Kirschner getting him off?
- Yes.

How did you feel about that?

I decided to kill him.

- And you did?
- Yes.

And afterwards?

Did you know
Sarah was pregnant?

No.

Kirschner suppressed that.

- Why his money?
- He had to suffer.

- Why, Martin?
- To get justice.

- That's a big word.
- What else can I say?

When society pays Kirschner
to free Sarah's murderer?

And if you hadn't spotted
it was us on the bridge?

I'd have shot him
and taken the money.

- You confess?
- To everything.

Tomorrow I'll retract and get
a good lawyer to get me off.

If I'm convicted
I'll kill him when I get out.

Are you okay?

On one level I can understand
why Martin went crazy.

His pregnant girlfriend
was raped and killed.

Then the killer is acquitted

with the help of some
very clever lawyer.

Kirschner just does his job
and he's good at it.

- Poor Martin.
- Poor Kirschner, I say.

He has a death threat
hanging over his head.

Hi, Gry.

What's this?

- Don't be cross.
- Has he been fighting again?

One of the big boys

has a dad working
in the Ministry of Justice.

He said you screwed Ulf
to get your job.

Ulf?

- So Tobias beat them up.
- I should think so.

- Hi.
- Hi, darling.

- My little mouse.
- Ouch!

We'd better ask Fischer
to teach you combat skills.

You're something else.

Martin Steensgaard later revoked his
confession but was sentenced to 14 years,
which he is serving in a
top-security prison.
Hans Henrik Kirschner
was divorced six months later
and now lives in England.
