Congo. Bukavu.

The world's richest source of tantalum.

Aagaard's donated a hospital to the area.

Flindt got him sixteen top-notch PMCs to control the construction.

You mean mercenaries.

That's... Bob Johnson.

He's a very expensive freelancer. Highly decorated.

Tell the authorities that the PMCs land in three hours.

And then?

Last month they tore off their nails and sent them down for 40 years.

They came to kill people.

- We can't do anything more. - What about chemo?

lt's too late. She's too weak.

The other day l met my old sweetheart from lceland.

lsbjörg?

- lt was her fylgja, - Her what?

l've been away too long. l'd forgotten.

- What the hell is a fylgja ? - An omen that she's on her way.

lsbjörg.

The lady over there has a big problem.

She has to spend 2 million a week.

She's the Eriksen heir. One of the world's biggest shipping firms.

She lives there.

- You knew? - So did you.

- l've got enough on my plate. - You're happy today.

lt's Saturday. We're going shooting.

- See you soon. - Yes.

Talking to myself isn't good for my reputation.

- Frida's flying to Copenhagen. - Yes. But she bores you.

What nonsense.

First some good sex

then two hours about Maja's fantastic drawings

and some new episode of her fantastic life in the aircraft industry.

What about you and me?

You and me?

- What about us? - What about us?

What about Estrid?

She's simple and intelligent. No obligations at all.

One more lap.

Stavanger...

The restaurant.

Oh. yes...

lt's you.

The Dane who ruined it for my dad's friend Bruland.

l do my best.

- You're a hero to the left-wing press. - Thanks.

Why are you here?

l just bought this place. l'm sorry already.

Sell it.

- Want to buy it? - Not in this life.

You can rent it.

- How many are you? - Just me.

- Room enough. then. lnterested? - No.

You are. You just need to inspect it.

- This is the garden. - lt's... lovely.

- Estrid Eriksen. - Hallgrim Hallgrimsson.

- Hallgrimsson. lcelandic? - l'm from the Westmann lslands.

But you like the Danes?

Yes... Sometimes more than others.

- This is the kitchen. - lmpressive.

Well. one must have a place in Copenhagen.

- l'm tired of hotels. - You are interested. then.

- How long and how much? - That's no problem.

There's a bathroom. a lounge room upstairs

and a bedroom with a double bed and a TV.

What else does one need?

- Yes or no before l change my mind? - Well...

- Think about it. l'm leaving at 1 0. - Fine. l'll let you know.

Good morning. Thea.

Nazim.

Yes. okay. l'm on my way.

l'm off.

Hello. Wafaa.

Listen. they want me at work.

Can Sarah stay with you for a while? What do you think?

l don't know. Hold on.

Private property.

Put her on.

Hi. darling. lt's Dad.

l'll be a bit later than l thought.

Not that late.

1 00 kilos is one thing but 500 kilos of explosives

will raze everything to the ground within a 1 00-metre radius.

What's up?

Ml5 and UTBT in Holland have informed lntelligence

about a pending suicide attack against lraqis living in Denmark.

- The leader's called ""The Dane"". - A Dane?

He grew up here. was sentenced and deported.

- The Dutch have profiled him. - Okay.

- Who is the target? - We don't know.

A big lraqi wedding in Nørrebro is a possible target.

That venue is our project.

We'll concentrate on that. Nothing else. Understood?

l'm not in the field?

- Didn't Hallgrim tell you? - Yes.

Why are you asking. then?

l'm meeting the Terrorism Response Agency and the police commissioner.

When's the wedding?

- Today at one. - We've got four hours?

We couldn't cover that whole area if we had ten hours.

THE EAGLE a crime odyssey

Why is he targeting this wedding?

lt's obvious.

The bride's father is Ghazi al-Karim Arif.

And?

Ghazi isn't just anybody.

He's an economics professor and a member of the new lraqi government.

His back was injured in prison under Saddam Hussein.

We can't cordon off the whole area because of one man's wedding.

Just imagine a car bomb going off here.

Even if we shoot him the bomb will be triggered anyway.

With luck we'd get him on the bridge so only ten people go with him.

lt's not acceptable. Tell the man to cancel the party.

- How will the driver know? - He has a controller.

To make sure he doesn't waver and nothing changes.

For example. if the wedding is cancelled.

Shall we talk to him?

- Call if there's anything. - Yes.

- Hallgrimsson. - Ghazi al-Karim Arif.

- l've talked to your lntelligence. - And what do you say?

lf we give in to fear...

we lose.

That's a banality.

You've never lived in lraq.

We have more than you and your family to look after.

lf l had the slightest belief that the threat was real

l'd never hold my daughter's wedding here.

We have several intelligence sources.

Even intelligence can be wrong.

Everybody in lraq knows that when the Danish doctors let me go

l'll go back.

Why would they send a man to Denmark?

They can wait a month and kill me at home in Baghdad.

- Have a nice party. - Thank you.

lt's not his decision to make. lt's ours.

- Who's to blame if it goes wrong? - l am. He's right. it makes no sense.

lf we try to find reason in this crazy world. we go crazy.

Get the bomb dogs and put observers on the house.

Maximum surveillance.

- What do you think. Hallgrim? - l don't believe it.

Since Denmark tightened the rules. more than 300 exiles fit the profile.

Do you have the guest list?

Yes. 1 86 guests. Young. old. children.

Millions are in that street at 1 p.m. on any given Saturday.

A ClA man was asking for you at the firing range.

- So? - A Sam Johnson.

- He was a bit weird. - He wasn't.

He'd heard of Michael in the US.

- Frandsen's checking him out. - Where is Frandsen?

- With Elin. - Yes. of course.

- He hasn't been briefed. - No.

- Why not cancel? - We're not sure.

What if we're wrong?

We can't alert the whole lraqi community

because of a mere suspicion.

l'll definitely tell my kids to stay away from Nørrebro today.

No need. lf he's not found by noon we'll cancel.

And it's almost ten.

Stay on the screen.

- What am l looking for? - Someone who's just watching.

- ""The Dane""? - Him or his controller.

- Where are you going? - Back in ten.

Well...

He's here somewhere.

- How are we going to find him? - Join in. We've got two hours.

- Where did the boys go? - To buy you some flowers.

- How are things? - Fine.

Oh. Villy...

That's what l love about you. You're such a bad liar.

We miss you.

The boys are fighting and arguing.

And then l shout at them.

Did your parents visit you?

Only Mum. You know Dad.

He's likely to contract prostate cancer. lung cancer...

And full-blown AlDS.

l probably won't see him before my funeral.

Oh Villy. we've got two lovely boys.

Thanks for calling back. Does the name Sam Johnson ring a bell?

l understand.

When are you coming home?

Soon. l hope.

- Are you drunk? - Shut up.

She's snuffling.

You're not sick. Mum.

- Shut up. - You shut up!

Thank you.

- Peace be upon you. - And on you.

- How are you? - Fine. thanks.

- May everything be fine. - 2. 1 7. 1 03. 200.

2 1 7 1 03 200.

Here.

Thank you.

- See you. - Peace be upon you.

Tell that rascal in there to treat you well. right?

- ls it your first child? - No.

You know the drill. then. Take care.

Thanks. Bye.

- Take care. - Yes.

l forgot the keys.

Thanks.

- Take care. - You too.

Come in. the door's open.

- Hello. - Hi.

l'm glad l caught you. l was on my way to the hotel.

- l had to collect the key. - What a fantastic place.

l found it on the internet.

Unfortunately l have to go.

l'll see you later. Just stay.

How long?

Aren't you leaving tomorrow?

l don't mind that you're here and l'm in Stockholm.

and that we don't meet often.

- lt's also okay that... - Frida. not now.

Let me finish. for crying out loud.

l also don't mind not hearing from you for weeks.

That's fine. l just need to know if this is what you want.

lt's a crisis.

Yes. that's what l mean. We must decide.

- What are you talking about? - Think about it.

Will it upset you if l take it?

Yes. Frandsen.

Come in. it's open.

l'm listening. Yes.

Are you Frida?

Yes.

Are you going to live here?

l live in Stockholm.

So you destroyed our relationship just for fun?

You know he proposed to me before he was with you in Stockholm.

A third party can't destroy a good relationship.

Did you read that in a magazine?

You also came between us.

l did?

Didn't you know?

Hi.

How did you know l was here?

- From Thea. Congratulations. - Thanks.

What did the commissioner say?

He was touched you tried to save the wedding.

- Why ruin a wedding needlessly? - Why indeed?

lntelligence are questioning 25 people. They're hard at it.

Of course.

A Sam Johnson wanted you.

- l know. Frandsen checked him out. - And?

ClA. terrorism expert. Regional Advisor for Jordan.

- Anything to do with the threat? - No. it's about his son.

Who is?

Bob Johnson. One of the mercenaries we arrested in Congo.

- That's his dad. - And something else.

He lost his other son in lraq.

My news about Bob won't please him. then.

- We have to leave. - Of course.

- l just wanted to hear... - Frida? Frida?

Marie!

- Today. eh? - At one.

Excited?

My heart has been longing for this.

As you know.

- ls the tank full? - Certainly.

The papers are in the glove box.

Ziad... You're a good person.

- Were you seeing Frida when we met? - Yes.

- You proposed to her? - Yes.

- Great going. - lt doesn't matter what l say.

Didn't the police teach you to box?

Come on. Use what l taught you. man.

You Danish Paki. Come on.

lsn't that what you taught me? To hit back hard.

Not to turn the other cheek.

Khaled...

Khaled... wait.

- You didn't tell me he'd be here. - l'm Nazim.

What did you expect? Of course we'll help.

- What about it? - Nothing.

You said you saw him.

- l was wrong. - Listen to me.

l live at Nørrebro with my family. And l'm staying.

What about us immigrants if a bomb goes off?

lslam is love. Khaled. Remember that.

- l don't know if it's him. - How can you know?

Tell him.

Upset?

How can l get ready? You were due an hour ago.

- l'm here now. lsam. - l'm not here tomorrow.

Well... where is it?

Over there.

lt went well. my friend.

Yes. of course. That's what we agreed.

Thea wants us to co-operate.

- You think so too? - Yes. l agree.

Sam has a lot of knowledge. Why say no to that?

- Nazim? - l've got a name.

- Michael. a name. - Ziad Melhem.

Z-i-a-d M-e-l-h-e-m

- Ziad Melhem. - Yes.

He came this morning from Poland.

He's got 200.000 kroner to buy a car in Sundby.

- You'll find it. - Yes.

Ziad Melhem. Born 26 May 1 976 in Amman. Palestinian father...

That's a first.

- What? - A man giving birth to a man.

Very funny.

His mother is from Jordan. He grew up in a refugee camp.

After the first intifada in 1 987 the family got asylum in Denmark.

Ziad did so much shit

that as soon as he was old enough he was sent to a juvenile centre.

ln 2000 he was convicted for attempted murder and exiled to Jordan.

You've identified him?

Yes.

- Alert Terrorism Response. - Okay.

- Are his parents still in Denmark? - At Bellahøj.

You take that one. Ditte.

lsam? l have to get ready.

You should have come yesterday.

- Nervous? - Sure. l am.

Who'll get the blame if it doesn't work?

May l use your bath?

Help yourself.

We're closed.

Nazim Talawi. Police.

- Sold any cars today? - Closed. l said.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

l didn't drive out here for fun.

Okay. We sold a black Mercedes.

The boss made a deal with a friend half an hour ago.

- Does the friend have a name? - Probably.

l don't know him.

- What did he look like? - Like you.

Only bigger.

Any paperwork for the Mercedes?

l have to polish this car. l don't have keys to the office.

- Does your boss have a mobile? - Yes. l just called it.

lt's on his desk in the office.

- What type of Mercedes? - A Mercedes 300 E.

Between 90.000 and 1 49.000.

- Colour? - Black. right?

So you said.

Just wait for the boss. He'll be here in an hour or two.

- Or tomorrow. - No. he's going to some family do.

That's why l'm polishing this sledge.

Okay. Thanks.

Stræde is begging for your help.

You're the best person in front of a judge.

There's a queue for searches and buggings.

Fine. Nazim.

Ziad might have bought a black Mercedes 300 E 90.

- The registration? - Find out.

- lt was bought from Yassir Auto. - Okay.

The commissioner wants the wedding cancelled.

What?

- With an hour to go? - We have Ziad's psychological profile.

He grew up with a father broken by torture.

As a young man he was into prostitution and drugs.

Read the Koran in prison...

Now he wants to repent by committing the ultimate act.

He's ready to become a martyr.

We've got an hour and we have the car.

lt's not a discussion. Will you advise the professor?

The registration number is TL4881 6.

- Pass it on to Terrorism Response. - Done.

Yes. fine.

- Who's on watch? - You are.

- Terrorism Response is with me? - Of course.

- l'm not told about a terrorist threat? - You are now.

- Don't wrap me in cotton wool. - Okay. lt's a deal.

- Manal. where have you been? - Quiet. l went shopping.

l'm cold.

- Why didn't you go upstairs? - You know l can't.

- Manal Melhem? - Yes?

Ditte Hansen. Police. Villy Frandsen.

- What do they want? - Wait. man.

- We want to talk to Ziad. - He's in Amman.

- Not in Denmark? - What's this about Ziad?

Wait. lt's been a while.

- What is it? - Wait. man.

But he would visit you?

To listen to his dad's heroics? l don't think so.

- What do they want? - Wait. man.

Let's go upstairs.

We don't know. My husband's cold.

- Talk to them. - Did you see Ziad?

- Come upstairs. - Talk to them.

- What's he saying? - Go upstairs.

lf you wanted to talk to Ziad. why did you deport him?

The soft man.

- The what? - The soft man.

The soft man.

Peace be upon you.

- Holsoe. come in. Object approaching. - Roger.

Snipers. in position.

- Gamma in position. - Beta in position.

Roger. Snipers stand by.

- Holsoe to Hallgrim. - Come in.

The black Mercedes is on its way to the community centre.

- He's on the bridge now. - Where?

Thank you.

You'll see him in two seconds.

- Yes. - lt's up to you now.

Holsoe. wait.

- Quickly. Ditte. - Ziad's a wedding guest.

He's marrying the bride's sister later this year in Baghdad.

The car is a gift from the family. There's no doubt.

Good.

- Holsoe? - Yes.

Object's cleared. He's a guest.

- Shit. man. That's him. - A guest. Understood?

l'll keep the snipers on stand-by.

Michael! Stop!

Holsoe. secure the area.

What?

- lt was Ziad. - He was a guest.

Michael. didn't you hear me call out?

Yes.

- But you shot him anyway? - What?

Give me your pistol.

l'd like to talk to the prosecutor.

Find him.

- Thanks. Stræde. - You're welcome.

Friis will enjoy roasting Michael over a slow fire.

The prosecutor will too. but now he knows the circumstances.

lntelligence is responsible too.

l should have warned you about Sam Johnson.

- Have you got five minutes? - Yes.

l was told that Sam Johnson was in Copenhagen.

l didn't think he'd look you up.

What's with him?

He's...

considerably unbalanced.

That's comforting.

lt was the way he lost his son in lraq.

His son was held captive and publicly decapitated.

He was dragged around Kirkuk to loud cheers.

So Johnson hates the Arabs.

Wasn't he debriefed?

He was called home for crisis counselling and was cleared.

- He shouldn't be in active service. - Did you tell the prosecutor?

He pushed Michael to the edge. Recklessly. lt must be considered.

The Americans wouldn't agree. They'd always protect him.

We erred on the Dane's profile.

We've identified him. He's been seen in Berlin.

He escaped so the threat is still there.

You know why he's called the Dane?

He's a Dane?

Convicted murderer. Very intelligent.

Converted to lslam in prison and knows the Koran.

He trained in Afghanistan after his release.

He looks like us. He's worth his weight in gold.

- You talked to the mother? - Yes.

- How did Ziad get the 200.000? - The money he got in the park?

That was just hawala,

What the hell is hawala ?

An old banking system.

Deposit in one town and withdraw in another.

But where did he get the money from?

She said the family in Amman had helped him to a little hotel.

- The money was legit? - Yes.

He got himself on an even keel?

l did a good job when l pointed to him. then.

- Well done. Nazim. - We were all duped. Me too.

But it doesn't change the fact that Michael killed him.

- What did Thea say? - She's on her way.

Were they going to get married in Baghdad?

Yes.

Why is it taking so long at the prosecutor's?

Are Friis and Thea planning to cover for me?

No one's covering for anyone.

l'm not stupid. l know the drill.

Colleagues cover for each other.

- That's not it. - l shot him.

Yes.

l'm a bit tired. l'd like to be alone.

Okay.

l'll leave the door open.

How is he?

He shouldn't be alone at home.

Of course not.

l would. but Elin...

That's clear. lt's out of the question.

l'm on my own with Sarah so...

- Jens might take the kids. - He'll sleep at my place.

l don't think so.

- Why? - You were there.

You' d remind him of what happened.

l'll take him home.

- How is he? - He's not good at all.

No.

The Dutch were wrong. The Dane is not a deported foreigner.

This is the man.

Here he is. William Høst Pedersen.

Convicted murderer and a convert.

Too valuable to the network to die himself.

A controller who makes others carry out the actions.

He was seen in Berlin today.

- When? - An hour ago. Let's get going.

You'll have to see Michael.

This won't be easy.

There will be an investigation. lt's out of our hands.

And we can't protect you from the media.

You need psychological help.

- l don't need that. - lt's not an option.

Shall we go?

Where?

To get some of your clothes. You'll stay at my place for a while.

That... No. thank you.

That's not an option either.

The flight from Berlin at 20.55.

l don't know why he'd take that. lt's just a feeling.

lf l hurry. l can get there.

Bloody hell.

See you later. Bye. Nazim.

What the hell is going on?

l've travelled halfway around the world to be with you.

- And then you move. - Perhaps that's why.

- What? - You move in. l move out.

What happened to you?

l got beaten up.

By a stupid Swede who bought my lT shares in Hamburg.

lt looks as if you've got a lot of space. What do you want for the top floor?

Forget it. Dad.

- What? - l said. forget it. Dad.

l heard you. But you said dad.

- You love your old dad. don't you? - My mistake.

What is it with you? ls it still lsbjörg?

Still? You raped her.

Hallgrim. man to man...

Who would say no to a cheeky little cigar?

She offered herself. She wasn't a virgin.

- You knew? - Yes.

The hospital doctor had just entertained me by telling me

about the abortion she was having the next day.

What?

She was pregnant. By you. Hallgrim.

- Did she do it? - Not at the Westmanns.

Have a glass of wine to wash her down.

l'm going to work.

Going to work...

Sorry.

- Sorry. Are you hurt? - l'm okay.
