- Are you ready? - We don't have to go in.

We're hiding out here, so we don't have to deal with all the people and the long dinner.

Yeah, yeah.

You know it's not my thing. It goes against everything I stand for.

I do it only for your sake. Because I love you.

- Right? - yes.

- Come on then. - Okay.

Do you, Bo Skytte, take Dicte Svendsen to be your lawfully wedded wife?

Yes.

Will you love and honor her in sickness and in health?

As a man should live with his wedded wife until death do you part?

Do you, Dicte Svendsen, take Bo Skytte as your lawfully wedded husband?

Yes.

Will you love and honor him in sickness and in health ...

Yes.

As a wife should live with her wedded husband until death do you part?

Yes.

- Take each other's hands. - Hands? Come here.

You have now entered into a marriage with one another-

- And confirmed this before God and this congregation.

You are now husband and wife both before God and the people.

Oops. Thanks.

What the hell are you doing? Don't throw rice. The pigeons will explode.

Will they? I'd like to see.

Bo?

- Bo? - Is that my wife calling?

- Damn, you're beautiful. - Are you going already?

- I'll be back in two days. - I can not take it.

- We were supposed to go to Mexico. - I want to go to Beirut.

We'll book a honeymoon when I get home. Mexico, tequila...

and a cabin on the beach. That's Kazim.

- Bye. - Bye.

Hi. How do you do, Mrs. Skytte Svendsen?

I'm still high. Look here.

Oh, how nice! You two are so smart.

It surprised me that it was so big and serious.

But in a good way. I should do it more often.

Hey, Aksel. Come here.

Should we run a little in the woods? Did you get up early?

19 minutes past five.

Oh dear.

- Are they starting at the kindergarten soon? - In two weeks. I can't wait.

- Should I sign up? - For the Ironman?

Swimming 4 km, cycling really long and then run a marathon?

No thanks. Ironman is for those who are afraid to die.

- and that's not you? - I'm not afraid of anything.

- Except, maybe my ex-wife. - What's wrong with her?

- Nina is coming to Aarhus. - Why?

- For Alexander's sake. - He broke his arm.

She's his mother and wants to see him.

- When did you last see her? - Seven years ago.

Then you need to look good. Come on, let's sprint.

- No, that's enough with the physical goals.

My physical goal is to get coffee and cheese sandwich at the station.

- Come on, Wagner. - You were more fun when you were chasing the ladies.

- Come on. - I can't take it.

- I thought you were sitting on the plane. - I'll be there first thing in the morning.

I'm looking forward to opening the rest of the presents with you.

- I miss you too. - What are you doing?

Playing backgammon in the hotel lobby.

- Sounds cosy. - It is.

- I'll pick you up at the station. - Okay. See you tomorrow.

- Lying to your wife? - I just don't want to worry her.

There's Kazim.

- He wants to talk to you. - This is Johan.

- Where is he? - Near the Syrian border. Follow me.

Is it a good idea? Is it safe?

Relax, Bo. It's a damn good story.

Hello Darling. I'm at the station, but can't find you.

If you're late you should call.

I miss you and can't wait to see you.

- Hey, Nina. - Hello John.

- You didn't have to pick me up. - Oh.

- You look good. - Thank you, so do you.

- Not a day older, right? - Not really.

You've always been bad at lying. What about him?

Alex is fine. You didn't need to come.

- I miss him. - I've booked the hotel for you.

Are we sharing? I'm just kidding.

Hello, Wagner.

Hello, Dicte.

- Hello. - This is Dicte.

- She is a journalist, or was. - I'm writing a book.

- This is Nina. - Are you hsi ex-wife?

- Yes. You've heard about me? - Yes.

- We're off. Unfortunately. - It was nice meeting you.

- Is that someone you've... - God, no!

- Are there any adults here? - Dicte Svendsen!

- Hello. - How is it going with your sexy crime book?

It's going really well with my unsexy crime book.

- Is Bo on the way home from Beirut? - I don't think so.

He and Johan are interviewing someone in Syria.

- Is there anything you asked them? - No, it's for the Aftenposten.

- Has he not heard from him? - No.

If you hear from him, tell him to call me.

- Please let me know if you need work. - You gave me the sack.

No, you quit. There's not much money in sexless books.

The least sexy thing is a newspaper with no paper edition.

We're Denmark's first online magazine, and the only people who make money.

- That makes it even sadder. - Have a nice day.

Steffen said you were going to Syria. Could you not call?

I don't know when you'll get home.

Is that you Skyping now?

Hello Darling. I was starting to get worried.

- Can you hear me, Dicte? - Where are you? What's happened?

- Listen to me. - Why are you speaking English?

They have taken me hostage. Can you hear me?

- Yes. Hostage. - They want three million dollars.

Contact the newspaper and the insurance company.

Say that it's urgent.

- What should I do? - Tell them to pay.

I love you.

Wait, Bo. Bo?

Dicte? Hello?

Are you deaf. We've been knocking for ages. Has he arrived?

This is typical Bo. How do you stand it? You'll have to drive them to school tomorrow.

Eva... the children can not be here.

- What do you mean? I've a meeting. - Bring the kids.

- Are you okay? - Something happened.

- What? - Take the kids and go!

- Should we not be here? - No, it's probably not a good idea.

- Damn. - What is it?

- It hurts. - I'll look at it.

My friend is in pain. He needs a doctor.

Sleep now. Now, I said.

Sit down. Sit down!

Yes, we'll keep it in-house. Call me when you know something.

We'll sort this out.

Dicte and I have contacted the State Department.

As you know, the Danish State does not negotiate with terrorists.

But the Foreign Ministry promised us one aide who will tell us what to do.

- Do we know if he's all right? - Yes, we Skyped yesterday.

Do we know who took him?

We only know that they took both Bo and Johan from Aftenposten.

So it may be extremists or those IS guys that behead people on YouTube?

They've asked for a ransom, so I don't think so.

- But you don't know. - No, Kim.

But you can find out. I want to learn more when they call.

Find out which groups are active then

- and their MO. This must not get out.

No one is to say that Bo has been taken hostage.

If they learn that they will just raise the ransom.

Do you understand? Not a word to friends and family. That is all.

How do we know that they won't say anything? They usually post everything online.

You may think I'm an idiot, but my employees are really good.

Have we heard anything from the guy that Bo used as an interpreter down there?

Kazim? Not really. Jeppe, have you heard from Kazim?

- He's on his way home. - He must know something.

- I left a message. - He may be dead.

Or he arranged the whole thing.

Hello, Dicte. What can I help you with?

Check this guy out, see if he's an extremist or something.

- Kazim Prohic. Why? - I can't say.

- But it's very important. - Okay.

I must know what it's about.

- Trust me. It's vital. - No.

Someone is in danger. I'm only asking you to help me.

I'll happily do it if you let me know why.

I can't say. Why have you become such a fucking stickler?

- Sorry. - Dicte ...

I cannot check criminal records without a suspicion.

- I could get fired. - And you don't want to risk that?

Forget it. It doesn't matter.

Bendtsen, check if we have anything on this guy.

- Hello. - Hello. Are you Dicte?

Yes. Hello, Kazim. Can you tell me what happened?

We were heading towards the Syrian border when they ran out of the car and took them.

- Where were you? - I was up ahead in another car.

I first saw it when it was too late.

Someone must have told them where you were going.

They've been keeping track of Bo and Johan for a while.

- By yourself? - Bo is my friend.

- Are you in? You have to trust me. - How can you help me?

I know who they are.

Some guys from the neighbourhood were filming everything. Look on the left.

- Who are those? - Criminals from the neighbourhood.

It is not the first time they've kidnapped someone.

- Hello. Is Alex here? - Yes.

- Where were you? - Hi Mom.

Great to see you. Oh, how I missed you.

- and I missed you. - You've been great. Stop that.

- You'll eat with us? - Dad made dinner.

- Did he? Is it chicken? - How did you know that?

Why are you laughing? I can cook other things than chicken. All kinds of food.

Yeah, it's just chicken.

- Have you heard? - Yes.

- I know what it is. - Sit down.

Has something happened?

Dicte, unfortunately the magazine's insurance does not cover this.

Bo's mission was a private initiative.

- What does it mean? - They don't want to pay.

- Is it you who doesn't want to pay? - No, he's from the Foreign Ministry.

Okay. So the state will step in and pay?

No, we do not negotiate with terrorists.

So you're going to leave a Danish journalist in the lurch?

He risks his life to bring you news.

So you don't have to leave your desk.

- It's not... - Shut up, Steffen.

I'm talking to him.

My name is Jens...

and I myself was held hostage in Somalia for six months.

So I know how it is.

Okay. What the hell do we do? Can not you send someone to rescue him?

No. Neither Denmark nor Sweden will engage the military.

The Americans and the French will go in and liberate them-

-if they know exactly where they are.

So government and insurance companies don't pay.

- Then the newspaper has to pay. - The Board discussed it.

- But Bo was not permanent. - You paid for the tickets.

As a freelancer, he should have taken out his own insurance.

How will we get three million?

Should I do it?

Ransoms tend mostly to be a fifth of what they first ask.

- Get a good bargain. - I'd be happy to negotiate.

Just give me your phone.

Do you think I'm going to give up my only lifeline to Bo?

It's not me who doesn't want to pay.

Yeah. It is you, the newspaper, you and everyone else who won't take any responsibility.

I'm all alone in this!

- Hello? - Hi.

- Where are they? - Unfortunately, they'e gone.

What happened?

I told Nina that Alexander tried hashish.

Then I understand why he got angry. Why did Nina do that?

She hasn't seen him in a year, and says suddenly-

- I'm not enough. He calls her sometimes.

She thinks she's going take full custody.

But he used to call you when he still lived with her.

I said that, but she took that as a criticism and then she left. Cheers.

- Alexander misses you both. - Yes.

I wanted her to go.

Do you want dessert, or have you given up gluten?

No thanks. I just wanted to say that we don't have anything on that Kazim.

But the State Department just announced something interesting.

A press photographer from the neighbourhood has been taken hostage in Lebanon.

Bo Skytte. Yes, Dicte's husband. They were married on Saturday.

Hi. Where have you been? You haven't forgotten?

I'll sleep here for a few days.

- I'm going to stop breastfeeding the twins. - I haven't forgotten.

Good. I've been looking forward to us getting pissed.

And I'll sleep at least six hours. Where is Bo?

He's working. You haven't been using these glasses?

- Yeah, they're beautiful. - Now we can't return them.

But you really wanted those ones.

Mum, why are the clothes left in the washing machine? They stink.

You should be ashamed. I'm still studying and working 12-hour shifts.

- You don't do anything. - Sorry.

- Run the machine again. - I have.

- I just wanted clean clothes. - Go to a laundry.

- How is the oncologist? - Great.

- I'll bring the rubbish. - It's very tough, but exciting.

I really enjoy it.

Johan, put on my jacket.

And again.

Hold on, Johan. I promise I'll get us home. Hold on.

Wagner?

- How much do they want? - Three million dollars.

I will help you bring down the price. I have negotiated in the past.

They don't want the police involved.

I'm not here as a policeman.

Hello. My name is Mr. Smith and I want to talk to Dicte Svendsen.

- Her friend is in danger. - That's right.

I'm John Wagner and I'm negotiating.

From now on, you only talk to me.

I speak for these people and negotiate for them also.

The ransom price is far too high. -No. -Well, it is, Mr. Smith.

And you know that. It must be a misunderstanding.

Bo Skytte has no insurance and the family hasn't got that kind of money.

We need a new figure.

- Mr. Skytte works for a newspaper. - No, he's a freelancer.

- How much will you pay? - 100,000 dollars.

I'll tell them that. I will call back tomorrow.

- It went well. - Are we sure about that?

- Was the amount not very low? - You have to start somewhere.

If they think he's poor maybe they'll just shoot him.

His life is worth something to them.

- How much money did you get together? - Lots of cash will help us.

If they can remain anonymous. The figures are there.

Oh my God. It's Bo's ex-wife.

She knows nothing about this.

- Eva. Hi. - Hello.

- Have you known her long? - No.

- But we have been feuding since we met. - It was like that for me too.

- But you like her anyway, right? - Yeah. Oddly enough.

- Hi. - Hi.

- What are you doing here? - Alex let me in.

Hope that's okay. I want to talk to you.

First I want to apologise for what happened the other day. It was...

Yes. It was not the first time you slammed a door and left.

No.

But I haven't been totally honest with you, John.

I'm not here just because of Alex's arm.

I am looking to move back to Aarhus.

Okay.

What happened to LA and your career then?

What career?

Did you not make some TV series with robots?

It was only a part Ben got me.

- You and Ben then? - We haven't been together in a long time.

I think he's moved in with someone else.

- Sad to hear. - It's okay.

But I won't come without Alexander.

I understand that he can't move back to the United States now.

- Now he lives with you. - Yes, he does.

I don't understand how you got along without him for so many years.

It was for your sake.

I know that.

I've talked to Louise Holm. She has a job for me.

A job? Not at the station, surely? You wouldn't. Goddamn it!

Take it easy. It's not in your department. You won't see me.

- Not even in the dining room. - You've already accepted.

I start in two weeks.

- You have no fixed income? - I'm writing a book.

I'll get library money for it eventually.

I see. The Bank can unfortunately not loan more than 90,000.

That's OK. Thanks.

Now for fuck's sake tell me what's going on. Are you going to sell the house?

Where's Bo? What happened? Have you split up already?

Where's all the furniture?

- Bo has been taken hostage. - What?

He was on a mission in Syria...

and someone has taken him.

What do they want?

They want lots of money.

They want $3 million. That's 18 million kroner.

I've sold everything I own and got a small loan.

I got the money back for all the presents-

-and pawned the wedding ring this morning.

I'm so scared that I may never see him again.

It's terrible, honey.

Yeah, it is.

Kazim? What have you got?

One guy I know has been filmed.

- Where are they? - In a small village outside the Bekaa Valley.

Now comes the interesting part. This guy...

A Frenchman who has been missing for two months.

And?

Now we know where the Frenchman is also.

The French army will go in if they get the film.

It'll take them a few days to set that up.

- In the meantime, they might move the hostages. - We must hurry.

- The film is only 6 hours. - It's best to negotiate.

I know how they work.

If we don't have time to get the money they'll keep Bo there for 100 years.

- He's going to be free. - He'll rot there, Dicte.

The chances of him surviving a military intervention are not great.

Why not?

There's a high risk of him getting accidentally shot.

Wagner. Kidnappers on the line.

I'll call back.

- It's up to you. - I know.

I don't dare. We must continue with the negotiations.

- I need 30,000 kroner for the film. - Why?

I have to pay for it, otherwise we don't get it.

I don't have 30,000 for the film.

All I can scrape together will be used to free Bo.

- They came down to 1.5 million. - Half?

- Yeah. - Fantastic!

Now we're still negotiating and we'll get it down more.

Thanks, Wagner.

- Lovely. Dagbladet is in too. - Yes, the board gave us 500,000.

Who gave those 100,000?

I sold my boat. It's raining all the time anyway.

Hi.

- You've made it all cosy. - Come and have a glass of wine.

Hello.

- How are you? Coping? - Here's to him coming home soon.

To his safe return.

- He sold his shares. - Torsten.

I said they were good to have if it all goes to shit.

I sell Mum's orchard. We'll probably get 200,000 for it.

You've always wanted the boys to sleep under the apple tree.

- They never sleep anyway . - I sold my Børge Mogensen chair.

I love you. Thank you for being here with me.

It's Steffen. - Hello?

What? - Turn on the TV. There's something about Bo on CNT.

Damn. Now the Syrian government troops know where he is.

They're not releasing him?

They usually barge in and shoot everyone and everything.

Damn it! It's my fault. I should have bought the film.

What's happening?

- What about Bo? What are they doing? - I don't know.

Stand up, Johan.

- Now! - Okay. Can you help me?

- Bo... - Sorry.

We're going now, Johan.

Johan.

Stand up. Come on.

We're out of here. Come on!

- Bo... - We're going home. Come on now.

Don't leave me, Bo.

Then...

Why am I here again?

I don't know...

I don't know the rules, but ...

I want to ask you to give me Bo back.

You'll get everything I have. I'll do anything.

It doesn't matter what.

As long as I get Bo back again.

Hello, Wagner. Is there anything new?

I'm sorry I have to tell you this.

Government troops went in last night and killed a man.

They've sent his ID.

Bo's dead.
