Original subtitles

Michael. your part in the search of Preben's farm has been criticised.

- By the commissioner? - Yes. You'll perform...

... other duties without public contact. as per the commissioner.

They could protect me.

l'm on the SWAT selection committee.

We tell them to shoot to kill. What question do they all ask?

What if l shoot the wrong one?

We promise to back them up.

l admired you for defending him.

l was wrong. Frandsen. lt isn't just about Michael.

We can't scuttle basic democracy because we think we're fighting evil.

Hallgrim. listen to me.

A hotel is not a home.

You'll be a dad soon. You'll need a place to receive visitors.

You look terrible. You know that?

With your shitty job. you need private space.

A place you can hang your ugly pictures.

lt's called self-preservation.

l want to go home.

Kiss me.

Here's my beloved.

Are the boys coming?

Emil...

Mum has passed away.

Bloody hell. it's nasty.

Yes.

Wasn't your Balkan stay for two months?

That was the original plan.

l could use you here.

Freeze that man again.

Switch the other screen on.

Hi.

Who do you think he looks like?

- Welcome home. - Thanks.

- Where in the world are we? - The Balkans.

l'm tempted to say he looks like Bosco Marcovic.

- Hi. Michael. - Hi.

Who's he?

He was in exile in Berlin under Milosevic.

Attorney and businessman.

He was called home to clean up the police.

- lntelligent. charming... - Bold as brass.

Last month he got a grant from the EU

for six bulletproof limousines at a cost of 1 million euros each.

He sold three of them on the internet and kept the money.

lf it works. it works.

He ignored my demand to repay the money.

""l'll have to advise your minister"" he said. Calm as anything.

""Or l might kill you. little lady.""

- Did he say that? - l didn't take him seriously.

He was sacked and thrown in prison. He was out the next morning.

So now Bosco is in Berlin with his family and fortune.

What's on the video. then?

He was front-page news all over the Balkans.

Someone thought Thea should see this video.

- Thea got it two weeks ago. - Okay. Where from?

There was no sender. Just a note saying ""Bosco Marcovic"".

Play it.

We are in Srebrenica in July 1 995.

Over a period of a few days.

Serbian soldiers executed 8000 Muslim men and older boys.

lt continued all day.

Stop! Stop just there.

That's Nino Djapic. The war tribunal gave him eight years.

He said he'd refused to take part in the executions.

He was then told to hand in his Kalashnikov.

line up and die with the prisoners.

Nino later confirmed eyewitness reports

that in the afternoon an unknown civilian and an officer paid a visit.

Go forward to the one we think is Bosco.

lt's alleged that this man took part in the massacre

and personally shot ten men in the neck.

lf it is Bosco.

The tribunal wants us to talk to Nino.

Nino Djapic co-operated. so he only got four years.

He's under witness protection in Denmark.

ln Denmark? Where?

- Talk to Witness Protection. - They'll flip out.

Strange things have happened since The Hague started looking for Bosco.

The officer in the video was killed by a car bomb.

The other soldiers have disappeared.

The only one we know is alive is Nino.

We're busy.

THE EAGLE a crime odyssey

ls Nino hiding in Denmark? What do you think?

He was in jail in Stuttgart.

lt's rumoured he started to learn Danish six months before his release.

Okay.

You seem quite relaxed about it.

l've seen the video. lt's blurred. The Hague can't pin anything on me.

Go on. Get moving.

You've got a nerve talking to me like that.

l'll call.

Do your job. Take me to the restaurant.

Have a good day. l'll see you. darling.

Bye.

Good morning. Frandsen.

Sorry for not calling to thank you.

There were too many dishes for me.

l didn't know your wife. but people spoke well of her.

- l fell asleep right after the boys. - lt took ten minutes.

- At least an hour. - Two.

How are you?

l don't know.

What poor relationship with us?

l don't understand that.

- The latest photos of Bosco. - Thanks.

Thea. Witness Protection insist on talking to you.

Thea Nellemann. Sorry l didn't call you myself.

How do you know Bosco?

A seminar in Scotland when he was police chief.

l spent a week with him. Nice guy.

l also visited him in Belgrade.

He was against that war.

He talked a whole night about the Yugoslav tragedy.

About how nationalism makes people behave totally insanely.

He's a thoughtful person.

What about the limousines? That doesn't seem thoughtful.

He lived well in Berlin.

Why would he go to Srebrenica and run amok among a group of Muslims?

What would he get out of it?

- What's happening. Thea? - She's checking. lt may be okay.

- Welcome home. Thea. - Thanks.

Hallgrim Eagle Hallgrimsson. private mail for you.

Mail for the chief.

- Hi. Thea. - Hi.

Who's going to get this?

- l thought you'd extended your contract. - l have.

Death threats don't scare me.

Withdrawing from the Balkans will bring the criminals to us.

How are things at home?

Fine.

- Who's he? - Some think it's Bosco Marcovic.

Could be. Pretty. he ain't.

He claims he was in Berlin in July 1 995.

July 1 995?

- Was he in Srebrenica? - The Hague wants to know.

l see.

Checking on a ten-year-old alibi. No problem.

Frandsen buried Elin last Friday.

Why wasn't l told? What sort of friends are you?

He wants things to go on as normal.

l got Nino's new lD.

On condition that l keep an eye on him until The Hague takes over.

- He lives on a farm in Borup. - We're off.

Yes.

- When are you going back? - After the ministerial meeting.

Ministerial meeting?

The Serbian interior minister and our justice minister.

The politicians want us out of there. lt costs too much.

No votes in the Balkans any more.

Thea. have you been subject to death threats?

That's why it's important for us to stay.

That's the one.

Would you say she's waving?

Frida said it looked as if she was waving.

- l think she's smiling. - She's got stomach pain.

- Do people end up like that? - Like what?

- Cold when you've tried it before? - Yes.

She does look sweet.

lf it is a girl.

Out!

Out!

What the hell? lt says ""As arranged.""

How romantic.

Look. sea bass and coalfish.

Bosco.

My friend!

Thea Nellemann is in Denmark.

Have you had breakfast?

Get my friend the writer a really good breakfast.

Thea Nellemann could be in Denmark for a few reasons.

They could be personal or she could be seeing the minister.

How's your book on the Balkans going?

lt's hard to concentrate when you have to earn a crust.

That's a pity.

lt's a really important task.

l've found Nino Djapic's German grandfather.

He's quite someone.

Who?

Ernst Nebe.

Are you sure?

Ernst Nebe...

We're closed on Mondays. Can l help you?

Hallgrimsson. Police Special Branch.

Can we talk privately?

Yes. we can do that.

Natasha. do you want an ice-cream? Go and ask Mum for an ice-cream.

- Do you want ice-cream? - No. only for you.

Nino Djapic?

l've got an lD card. My name's Milan Kos.

- l don't want any trouble. - l know your situation.

From Witness Protection.

l don't know you. l want you to go.

l want to talk to you about 1 7 July 1 995.

Srebrenica. A civilian arrived with an officer. ls this him?

- l want you to go. Now. - l've read your case.

You turned yourself in. didn't you?

To give the families and victims redress.

Nino. if you know it wasn't him. you can say so.

Don't condemn an innocent.

lnnocent? He enjoyed it. He was happy doing it.

Why do you want Bosco? You've got criminals in Denmark.

We were responsible too.

lt can happen again if we let it.

Fuck and fuck!

- Nino... - Get off my back.

l've found peace here. damn you.

My wife has found peace.

My daughter loves the place. She goes to kindergarten.

- l'll fight for this. - Then you should testify.

Listen.

The officer who drove Bosco to the gravel pit that day

was killed by a car bomb.

The other witnesses have disappeared. You're the only one left.

We'll protect you and yours.

The safest thing is not that l leave you alone

but that Bosco is behind bars.

- l'll talk to my wife. - l'll wait here.

Where's he going?

lt's important that you tell me.

You shouldn't have come.

l can only help you if you tell me.

- Where is he going? - To Berlin to visit his grandfather.

That's not illegal. is it?

- Yes. Nazim? - He was in a hurry.

- Does he know you're following? - l don't think so.

- Why don't l just arrest him? - For what?

He's talking on his mobile.

His wife said he's going to Berlin.

Berlin? Okay.

lt's irresponsible not to tell Søren about the death threat.

- Søren? - Stræde. lntelligence.

- Bosco's a windbag. - ls he?

Why did we start all this and the official visit too?

What's that got to do with it?

Hi. Hallgrim.

Nino confirmed it was Bosco at the gravel pit.

What?

l pushed him too far. He absconded.

- And Nazim? - He's behind him.

He may be going to his grandad in Berlin.

Don't let him.

- Maybe we should. - What do you mean?

l have a funny feeling. l suspect he's hiding something.

- Should we stop him? - On what basis?

We could find something. But would he testify?

What do you suggest?

Follow him. get the Germans to tail him. and see what he does.

A traffic chopper is flying over. Ask him to pick me up.

- What? - Then l can drive with Nazim.

Yes. Why not?

- Who runs our helicopter service? - Jørgen Petersen.

Find him for me.

Ditte. get some background on Nino.

Who is his German grandpa? What does he do?

l'll check.

Hello.

- Hi. Regine. lt's Hallgrim. - Hi. How can l help?

An important witness of ours is on his way to Berlin.

- Can you track him in Germany? - What's the story?

He can help us nail a Serbian war criminal who lives in Berlin.

Who?

Bosco Marcovic.

- Does The Hague want to indict him? - That's right.

lt's really bad timing.

What's going on there?

l'm coming to Berlin. See you soon.

- Yes? - The coast is clear. No cops around.

- What the hell? - Get up to 1 80.

Stop at the rest area 1 5 to 20 kilometres ahead.

l'll meet you there.

We should feel sorry for her.

That was Nino.

- How long do we follow him? - To Berlin and back.

You promised Witness Protection you'd look after him.

l'm also meeting Regine Eberlein.

They have a big case against Bosco Marcovic.

- Cutting across ours? - Apparently.

l think l scared the life out of Nino's wife and daughter.

That's rare for you. eh?

The Serbian minister's so polite.

He looks forward to seeing you... and Denmark.

He's brave. He's determined to tackle the Serbian mafia.

- l wonder how long he'll survive. - Don't be so paranoid.

About Bosco...

The minister investigated Bosco after his arrest.

As police chief.

Bosco asked lntelligence to find the soldiers from the video.

- Did they find them? - Yes. all except Nino.

- What happened to them? - lnteresting.

Bosco's apparently not evil. They got a good deal.

- What deal? - To earn lots of money in lraq.

What?

American security contracts have created a...

profitable industry for professional soldiers.

- Bosco owns a security firm. - Serbian war criminals in lraq?

And South African and Chilean...

The officer who got blown up didn't take bribes.

- Apparently not. - No.

Hi. l've got some background on Nino's grandad.

- Yes? - His name is Ernst Nebe.

German officer in Croatia from '42 to '45.

He had a child with Nino's grandma. a Croatian.

He acknowledged paternity. He saw Nino in prison in The Hague.

- What does he do? - lt doesn't say.

He lives on an estate outside Berlin.

lnform the Germans that Nino may be on his way to see Nebe.

Yes. Hallgrim...

l don't like Nino's wife and kid being alone on the farm.

- Me either. Will you look into it? - Yes. l'm going down there now.

Nino is all l've got left.

That's not true.

At my age. these things no longer have any meaning.

l didn't mean them. You have your honour.

l don't know where Nino is.

You see. when we were at school. we always had to visit...

the Ustashi concentration camp at Jasenovac.

For what the German occupying forces did to my people

we swore revenge.

above all on the man they called the Butcher of Jasenovac...

Ernst Nebe.

l've suffered.

Nobody gives a damn about that now.

You'll be in all the papers.

There will be a long. long trial.

How humiliating.

Would you survive it?

What about your pride?

Nino is on his way here from Denmark.

l'll see to it that he doesn't testify against you.

That's not good enough. You'll be hearing from us.

One last thing...

- This still isn't for sale? - No.

Hallgrim here.

- Hi. Johanna. l was about to call you. - Sure you were.

She gave an interview to the newspapers.

""Now the truth has to come out.""

She told the whole truth about Dad.

- ln her anger. she told them everything. - Everything?

- She's coming now. - May l talk to her?

lt's Hallgrim.

He wants to congratulate you.

She's also angry with you for not coming.

Give her my love. then.

Hallgrim...

Do you remember your old girlfriend lsbjörg?

Yes. Why do you mention her?

She was murdered.

What?

ln Chicago.

- When did it happen? - Christmas Eve.

She was jogging in a park. l only heard about it yesterday.

Here's Gunnar. l have to run. Bye.

Please say hi from me.

Remember the dream l had at Christmas?

The one with your fylgja ?

She's dead. lsbjörg.

She was murdered just when l met her. She was jogging.

- ln the Deer Garden? - No.

- ln Chicago. - Come off it. man.

- She may want to tell you something. - Yes.

lt's nice to know.

What is?

ln a world where people kill each other for nothing

it's nice to know that we can go back and snog old girlfriends.

- You'll be busy. won't you? - Yes.

- Hello. - Hi. it's Hallgrim.

Did you get my message about Ernst Nebe?

l spoke to your assistant in Copenhagen.

ls there a link between Nebe and Marcovic?

There may well be. This is going to be tricky.

Why?

Nebe is old and he's a respected arms dealer.

The weapons from the Balkans are used in the world's hot spots.

- What's Bosco's role? - l'll tell you later.

On a different topic...

l've got a surveillance team on its way home.

Gustav is on it. You know him. He'll tail Nino Djapic.

- Your assistant can go with him. - That's great.

Thanks.

Tito. where are you?

- Here's the key to the tool shed. - For the caretaker.

Put the dish down so we can leave.

- What about Tito? - Hurry up.

l'll feed your cat.

- l don't want to go to a hotel. - They may have a bathtub.

Get in the car. Come on.

Here are our papers. You'll give us a new name and stuff?

No. it's just a precaution. You'll return when your husband does.

You don't know Bosco.

l don't like us letting him go to Berlin.

No.

Why don't you stop him? You started this.

What do you want? For Bosco to go free?

He killed ten people.

Yes.

Nino's trying to start over.

That's why Bosco must be indicted.

Otherwise he'll chase him from here to hell.

- You're coming with us? - No. Nazim is.

Okay. Do you speak German?

- We'll look after him. - Sure. Have a good trip.

- Bye. then. - Bye.

There are no major security problems.

Put the route on the screen.

Motorcycles lead the motorcade with the minister.

Behind are Serbian officials and security.

And two bodyguards.

There's been a change of plan.

What?

Milan Nacuk. the Serbian interior minister.

wants me in his car from the airport.

Why?

A briefing before lunch with our justice minister.

You have to be in the limousine.

There's also another change.

There was no allowance for sightseeing.

So l've decided to drive through Copenhagen to Søllerød.

So that we can see the castles and so forth.

And the memorial park.

That's totally reckless. lntelligence prefers the motorway.

They'll have to come up with something else.

He has to see our beautiful city.

Yes. Ditte?

l found something very important

when l moved Vesna and her daughter.

Her cat is called Tito!

She gave me an envelope with all their papers.

She thinks they need new lDs.

Among the papers are some photos.

One of them is of Bosco and Ernst Nebe.

From Croatia in the summer of 1 992.

They're friends.

Hello?

Can't you give me some sign that you heard what l said?

- Send it to my mobile. - Done.

- Thank Nazim too. - Carrots are expensive.

- What? - Nothing.

Bosco? Nino Djapic has just arrived.

Are you at Ernst Nebe's now?

- Yes. - Okay.

You know that Ernst Nebe and Bosco Marcovic know each other.

- And that may not be good. - Okay.

Look out for Nino.

- And look after yourself. - Thanks. Ditte.

See you.

Hallgrim. it's Nazim.

- Hello. - Hi. lt's Hallgrim.

l think we need more backup.

- Sure. l'll pass it on. - You'll see to it now. won't you?

- Where are you spending the night? - Same place as usual.

l have one more meeting

but we could meet in your room in an hour.

- Okay. See you then. - Till then.

Have you got a picture of Natasha?

Here.

You can keep it.

- Does she speak Danish? - Yes. better than her mum and dad.

Do you speak German together?

Not really. no.

l've got room here.

We can't do that. Grandad.

No.

Why didn't you tell them in The Hague that it was Bosco you saw?

Because...

l... l... l promised Mum.

She told me that Bosco knows your secret.

And then...

she was sure he'd go public if l testified against him.

You didn't betray me?

No.

But what... what am l going to do now?

lt's the same old story.

What happened in Croatia...

Have you ever regretted what you did?

- Hallgrim! - Bosco Marcovic.

l was in Berlin. l thought l'd drop by.

- Nice to see you. - l'm glad you're not in Belgrade.

- What brings you to Berlin? - Another boring conference.

- Have you eaten? - l can't stay. l have homework to do.

You can manage one. Two slivovitz.

l was thinking of you today. Do you remember Scotland?

The psychologists gave a paper and you and l played truant.

Why do people do the things they do?

Here's to you.

lt's interesting.

""Real cops don't study a perpetrator's childhood trauma.

""They get their man.""

- Did l say that? - Yes.

- Was l that curt? - Yes.

- How's your wife? - Pregnant again.

- No! - Yes.

- Congratulations. - Thanks. And you?

- When? - ln a month.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

God. we've become boring.

- Yes. - But that's okay too.

Will you have another?

l ought to go and do my homework.

You can help. lt's a Colombian case.

There was a smart cop who never shot anyone.

Then one day he went out and gunned down eight prisoners.

For no reason.

Why did he do that?

How are things with your boss?

l think she's probably a bit too young for the job.

- Thea Nellemann? - Oh. her!

No. she got an international post and moved up in the world.

- When do you shut? - Around 1 2.

- l'll be back. - Okay.

- lt's quite simple. - What is?

Your Colombian case.

He had a bet. Did he dare do it?

l see.

l was thinking it must have been a childhood trauma. See you later.

l want to talk to the boy.

- Over the phone? - l'm coming over.

Hi. Hallgrim. Good to see you.

- You made it already? - Yes. Come in.

- Can l get you anything? - No. thanks.

Come in.

This is Hallgrimsson.

Klaus Franck.

Franck is our agent in the Bosco case.

He has a grudge against your boss Thea Nellemann.

Because she got him fired.

He pays me to track her whereabouts.

We've been investigating Bosco.

We got permission to watch him and tap his phone.

About time too.

What have you got on him?

He's number one in the Serbian mafia.

Yes.

His current project is a worry.

Have you heard of jamming?

You transmit radio waves to block other radio waves.

With a computer you can stop a car.

or a whole column of cars.

and shut down all radio communications.

l had no idea.

Bosco is getting hold of all the necessary equipment.

- We don't know his supplier. - You want him?

Of course. So we don't want The Hague interfering.

ls The Hague interested in Bosco?

Yes.

Hallgrim has a witness here. Nino Djapic.

ls Nino Djapic supposed to testify in The Hague?

Yes. Why?

Then l've made a big mistake.

Bosco is going to see Ernst Nebe.

What?

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Nazim s message bank, Leave a message,

- Who told Bosco that l was here? - He wants to make you an offer.

He needs young men in lraq. lt's very well paid.

He's waiting near the watchtower.

Grandad... you must have misunderstood.

l don't have to go to lraq.

Of course you don't have to go to lraq.

lt's my turn to help you.

First get rid of the bodyguard.

Bosco isn't usually armed.

Go!

Get on your way.

Off you go. lad. Show some resolve.

- Good afternoon. Nino. - Good afternoon.

l didn't recognise you at first.

- Do you recognise me? - Yes.

And you're not scared? lnteresting...

He got shot!

He's lying down there. He got shot.

Nazim...

Nazim...

l'll testify against Bosco. l'm going to The Hague.

Shut up!

Help me.

You'll beat this. Understand?
