No one can find their way around here.

But me.

This is it.

Richard is probably in the auditorium.

- Sorry. - God damn it!

FACE TO FACE

Are you okay?

Come.

I'm kinda rushed.

I have a speech to deliver, and Charlotte is coming.

- Have a seat. - Yes.

Okay.

Tell me what happened.

It was a client.

He told me he's killed multiple times.

And he's killing another girl tonight,

so you have to put an APB out on him.

Tonight?

Yes.

Who is he?

His email address says John Ryt. It's probably fake.

He has a birthmark here, under his left eye.

- What exactly did he say? - That he kills for money.

He mentioned "Sentinent." Does that mean anything to you?

Not off the top of my head, no.

He didn't give you a name or a place?

- No. - So no ID on him or her?

My gut told me it's a sex worker.

- Did he just come out and say it? - No!

He was in a hypnotic state and in deep trance,

and that's when it came out.

I couldn't get him out of the trance,

so I called to ask you to send someone out to apprehend him.

But he suddenly came to on his own.

And he left before your officers came.

How upsetting.

I think I need to be upfront with you, Susanne.

Charlotte and I have been worried about you ever since...

We've thought about you a lot.

It was a nice funeral.

Charlotte thinks so too. I want you to know that.

The pastor's sermon was very...

I don't wanna talk about Christina.

- Susanne, isn't this about Christina? - Are you even listening?

I had a murderer in my practice! He sat right across from me!

I hear you.

And that's why I ask if you've spoken to Bjørn.

- He has theories... - I haven't talked to him!

Calm down.

I need probable cause if I'm to launch an investigation.

People do go missing. We can agree on that much, right?

Yes, two people go missing in Denmark every day.

We find most of them.

Don't women live here without a permit?

And they disappear without anyone missing them.

- Women don't just disappear. - Sure they do.

Particularly if you don't know they live here.

- Or do you keep tabs on everyone? - No.

But what you're bringing me doesn't add up to a concrete case.

That girl mustn't die.

You must find him and stop him!

No, she mustn't. Of course not.

And if he's out there somewhere, we'll find him.

I promise.

For a moment there, I thought you weren't going to help me.

Of course I am.

I'll handle it.

Okay?

Maybe you should stay with us tonight.

A safe place to calm down.

Maybe I should.

Have you talked to Bjørn since his arrest?

No, I haven't been able to.

How is he?

We had to move him to HQ. He's in solitary at the moment.

It's not easy to do time as a police officer.

I've followed this closely, and I have to tell you

that there's no substance to his claims.

And no evidence against Frank.

Christina committed suicide.

Yes.

Come here, Susanne.

I was there.

Wasn't I?

I was right there when Bjørn killed Frank.

And you were at the mortuary when you said goodbye to Christina.

And that's when Bjørn thought

he saw something that caused him to think...

The lingual frenulum was severed,

but it wasn't in Frank's autopsy report.

That's what he says he saw, but there's no evidence.

I saw something too. I don't know what.

We've already been through this!

You're not just his wife.

You're a psychologist, trained to read people.

You must've noticed Bjørn's state of mind.

What is it you want?

Do you want him declared temporarily insane?

Why?

Because he was insane.

And perhaps he still is.

He's knee-deep in conspiracy theories and sees plots everywhere

instead of... accepting that Christina died by her own hand.

But... I really don't think he was.

I think it's best for Bjørn if you sign an insanity claim.

- To prevent a long, drawn-out trial. - I'm not doing it.

We need the room.

- Now? - Yes, please.

- Let's go somewhere else. - Yes.

It's all yours.

It's fine here.

Have a seat here.

Okay, where were we?

Tell me everything you know about this man

so we can start the search.

You'll do this?

Yes. It's faster and easier for you.

I'm just trying to grasp this. I'm on your side.

Okay?

- Give me something concrete to go on. - Yes.

He introduced himself as John Ryt.

He has dark hair and is about 180 cm tall.

Articulate.

Has a birthmark underneath the left eye.

It was a smoke-cessation appointment,

and he talked about a stepson who died.

A stepson? Did he give a name?

No, or yes.

The son was called Benjamin, but... I doubt that's true.

- You think he lied? - Yes.

He came to talk about the killings.

Why?

Because he wants to be stopped.

The smoke cessation was a front.

But his subconscious wants him to be caught.

- Why you? - I don't know.

I just had an eerie feeling that it wasn't a coincidence.

Okay.

Did he say anything concrete?

Did he mention names or places where he buried the bodies?

- No, he mentioned a "Sentinent." - Yes.

- The name doesn't ring a bell? - No. Afraid not.

And the description of John doesn't match...

No.

...cases of young women gone missing?

Could you have misread the situation?

Could it have been a hoax to scare you?

I did not misread a client under hypnosis,

confessing to murder and to killing a girl tonight.

- No. I understand. - Do you?

- Is that why you're lying to my face? - Come on.

You are! I know you. I can tell.

- Okay. - What are you not telling me?

Let's stop here. I have enough to go on now for now.

What's the matter, Richard?

I can't do this now.

The key is under the rock at the steps.

Just let yourself in.

Okay?

Charlotte is on her way here, right?

- Yes. - I think I'll wait for her.

Okay.

Did you ever tell her about your passes at me?

I didn't hear that.

If you won't tell me what you know, why should I keep your secrets?

There's nothing to tell.

- Oh? - But be my guest.

Tell her about my drunken passes while I was sobbing over my marriage.

You know what?

Maybe you should thank me instead.

It's a compliment for a woman your age.

Oh, I'm sorry. I clearly haven't thanked you enough.

Thank you.

Give me a break.

Instead of lying,

how about paying me back for saving your marriage?

- Are you threatening me? - I'm not threatening you...

I'm just trying to help you. Spare me your bullshit!

You're reaching! Your mind is playing games on you.

- You... - I'm just...

- Hi. - Hi.

- What a surprise. - Hi, honey.

- Hi. - Hi, honey.

What's going on?

Richard is interrogating me.

Interrogating you?

That's not correct. Susanne's describing a man who...

It's about young women in Denmark who have gone missing.

Perhaps because they've been killed by a man I met with.

- Whom you met with? - Yes.

But Richard says

there are no cases of young women mysteriously disappearing.

No, that would be... odd.

Yes, well, I say they do.

The police don't have any cases, but I'll look into it.

- Richard, we're ready for you now. - I'll be right there.

I was gonna go with you, but I haven't seen you since...

- the funeral. - Yes.

Let's go.

The cadets are waiting to hear about their bright future.

I'll stay with Susanne. We have a lot to talk about.

- Right. - Break a leg.

I really want to talk to you, but I can understand if you don't.

I do.

Yes?

- We have so much to talk about. - Yes.

Where do we even start?

We can start with me saying I've missed you.

Yes.

It's stupid that we haven't seen each other.

Yes.

I'm not good at this. You know that. What do you think about it all?

About Richard?

I know how sad he is that he didn't stop Bjørn,

but it's not Richard's fault that Bjørn did what he did to Frank.

No.

No.

There are so many emotions in this...

Do you have something to say to me?

I'm so very disappointed in you.

Yes.

My daughter is dead, and you're my friend.

I got your texts,

but you can't just write and offer your help,

you have to be there.

You didn't take my hand once at the funeral.

Or give me a hug.

You left me standing there all alone.

I thought...

Sus...

I'm so embarrassed. But I have intimacy issues.

I just need you to be there for me.

I know.

I panic.

I told myself to go to you,

but I convinced myself that it was better to wait.

For your sake!

- You're a shit for abandoning me. - I'm trying, okay? I'm so sorry.

I'm trying.

I'm glad you'll give me another chance.

You will, right?

No matter what you think about yourself,

Christina loved you. She...

Do you remember the last time we went out?

At that ridiculous concert with Ethiopian jazz.

Tell me what you know.

- I already told you. - No.

About what I spoke to Richard about.

You know something, I can tell.

I...

- I can't... - Yes, you can!

Tell me what you know.

You owe me that much.

No more lies.

There have been suspicions of young women gone missing.

Whispers, nothing concrete.

Who are they?

Women with no residence permit. Here one day, moved on the next.

Unless something happened to them.

And what has been done?

It's been difficult to find evidence.

Richard is rattled.

An officer met a witness

who claimed her friend had been killed,

who then disappeared herself.

I don't think there's anything there.

What officer?

And what is rattling Richard?

That things show up and disappear.

What do you mean "disappear"?

I've known you for 20 years, dammit.

Why don't you just tell me everything?

- Charlotte, talk to me. - No.

Charlotte, what's going on?

Richard.

Tell Susanne about the missing girls. She deserves to know.

Come with me.

No matter how close we are,

I shouldn't have to compromise my work for you.

This could cost me my job.

Pardon me for focusing on saving a young girl's life.

You don't understand what this is about.

It's about this.

If I go public with all the police's mistakes,

that my daughter was cremated by mistake,

that Bjørn kills Frank right in front of you

and on top of that add

that the police are sloppy in their casework,

what do you think will happen?

There have been reports of girls disappearing.

Rumours on the street!

Girls talking about other girls. Empty flats. Items left behind.

But no bodies.

No one has any first-hand knowledge,

so there's no evidence that they didn't just move on.

What about the witness who claimed her friend was murdered?

An officer spoke to a witness, but she disappeared.

No body. No case.

Nothing.

So it's all just rumours.

You haven't shelved cases or botched up evidence?

That's correct.

So why do I have to squeeze it out of you?

Let him explain

why the police have handled the cases the way they have.

But they haven't handled them!

My job entails not telling people what I do.

How many times have I asked you about an officer who's consulted you?

How many times have you divulged anything? Never!

Why should it be different the other way around?

My officers need to feel trusted and they need peace to work.

I've just betrayed that trust. I hope you understand that.

- Charlotte says you're rattled. - Rattled?

That's the word you used, right?

Why are you rattled?

What are the cases that come to nothing?

Evidence that disappears?

Are you worried it involves your own men?

Is that why evidence goes missing? Is that why you're rattled?

This is getting embarrassing.

Charlotte, she's your friend, too.

Talk to her. She clearly has problems.

I don't know about that.

Can we talk about this in a decent tone?

Is that why you want me to attest to Bjørn being insane?

So that there won't be a trial

that reveals corruption in your department?

Who was on the case? A corrupt officer?

If we're to continue this conversation,

it'll be quid pro quo.

You want me to commit perjury in Bjørn's case?

It wouldn't be perjury.

Bjørn wasn't sane.

He isn't sane.

He's miserable, not insane.

So you think Bjørn's theories about Frank are true?

Christina committed suicide.

And maybe there's a reason she committed suicide!

Yes. She fled.

Not just from Bjørn, from you, too.

Richard, you're going too far.

Well, that's the truth of the matter.

My relationship with her wasn't what I thought,

but you have no right to talk to me like that.

I'm not signing the insanity claim.

The witness described a man who fits the description of the man you met.

Yes.

So you have heard of John.

I'll give you the name of the officer who interviewed her.

Yes. I just need a signature.

Never.

- You're covering up corruption. - Stop it.

You don't investigate cases!

You want to put your friend in a psych ward.

- Do you know your husband? - Come, Charlotte. Let's go.

I'm trying to save a girl's life.

- What do you want me to do? - Help me! Come on.

I can't.

- Let's go. - I can't.

- Contact Louise. - Charlotte.

Can you forgive me?
