-Andrea! -Rolf! What's going on?

She's gone. She's gone!

Stop the ship! My daughter washed overboard, you have to stop.

-Turn around. -But we're docking soon.

I don't get it. It can't be right.

-It can't be. I strapped her in! -Rolf...

Someone has taken her.

Stop!

Let go! No! My daughter! My daughter is gone.

My daughter! Where is she?

Stop the car!

DNA

Honey.

Was Mum difficult to put to sleep?

Hey there... Did you wear her out?

-You caught something? -Yes.

-How do you know? -The smell.

I put it back. It was too small.

Sweetie pie...

-The pram is broken. -We'll look at a new one tomorrow.

-Is that all right? -I'm starting late at work.

I've thought about something.

-You can't live with a fisherman? -Idiot.

-You don't want more kids? -You big Idiot!

-I give up. -It's worse than that.

How about I skip the London trip?

Tell Mum we can take care of each other for three days just fine.

Henriette from the mothers' group thinks I'm a bad mum.

Henriette can shut her trap.

-No, take a bath first! -I love you very much.

I really don't know which one to pick.

One of the designs is so big

she'll fit in there until she's two or older.

-I got it. It's almost impossible. -But he put it in.

What are you laughing at, honey?

Was that a smile? Were you laughing?

-You think Dad's funny? -It's your hump hairdo.

-We can't say that. -No, we can't, can we?

-Would you? -That's Dad's phone.

Yes, Vidt? I won't be in for another four hours.

Where? How old?

Yes. I'll be right there.

A child was abducted from a nursery.

I have to go. We'll have to find a pram later.

Sure, the old one will hold another day. We'll see you.

See you, honey.

Eight children were at the playground when they noticed one was missing.

Minna Nygaard, 11 months old.

All units have been notified.

-Is that a birthmark? -Yes.

The staff was inattentive for a moment.

-Any witnesses? -A toddler who masters four words.

-Hi. -Hi.

Right foot. Size three. The staff confirmed it's Minna's.

No one we talked to noticed anything.

Let's question residents.

Start with Minna's mum. She lives right over here.

-I'm the only one who collects her. -What about the father?

We split up.

He's not allowed to pick her up anymore.

-He lives at Avnstrup. -The asylum centre?

Yes, he's Iranian. His asylum request was turned down.

-What's his name? -Zaid Kazemi.

Have you spoken to him recently?

-Does he see Minna? -A couple of times a month.

-But you have custody of her? -Yes.

-How does he handle that? -He didn't respect our agreement.

He's sweet, but it's hopeless.

Can't you bring her home?

Zaid Kazemi, 25 years old, rejected Iranian asylum seeker.

He's been staying at Avnstrup for two years.

-No one has seen him since morning. -Is he being deported?

That's not possible.

-It'd explain a lot if he took her. -How so?

No one heard it. She would have screamed if it were a stranger.

Let's not draw any conclusions till we've spoken to him.

Vidt speaking.

How cute with that heart.

Right.

Does Zaid have any friends here?

No one the mother knows about, but there are many illegal aliens.

Some clothes have been found, not far from the nursery.

The technicians are there.

The clothes are scattered, presumably thrown out of a moving car.

Left foot, size three. The clothes matches the staff's description.

-He changed her outdoor clothes. -So no one would recognise her.

The highway forks at ring road 4. He could have gone anywhere.

-Sweden? -They would've checked his passport.

-He might have false papers. -Roger. Over.

He might not have gone into hiding yet.

There's a domestic disturbance at the mother's home.

Let's go.

The suspect has fled the apartment. 10-03 over.

Hey, Zaid. Zaid, stop!

Stop! Zaid. Zaid!

Stop!

Stop right there.

I don't know where she is. I didn't take her!

-Where's my lawyer? -Come on, Zaid.

Where is she? We're going to find her, so just tell us.

-Why would I kidnap my daughter? -Your asylum application is rejected.

You felt mistreated.

Of course. I have a child. I have a special attachment to Denmark.

Your daughter has. You don't have custody and have one foot in Iran.

Someone took her. Can we stop this?

Just tell us where she is.

You're the police. Find out, or let me out so I can.

You left the asylum centre this morning.

Were you afraid someone might see you?

I had to walk to the station. It's seven kilometres.

You didn't walk seven kilometres. You got a car, didn't you?

I don't have a car. Just check my travel card.

Then maybe you can tell us what you were doing all day?

I tried to get my case reopened because I have an attachment.

There's a 12-hour gap from you boarding the train

and showing up in Brøndby.

Why did you see your ex?

On my way home, someone from the asylum centre -

-said the police were looking for me in connection to Minna.

I got nervous and went to Gunvor's, but she was crazy.

She said I took her!

It wouldn't be the first time you did so. That's why you lost custody.

She's my child too. I have a right to see her.

Two hours every Saturday.

That's the administration's decision.

You're making things worse for yourself.

What did you do all day?

I was collecting bottles after the meeting.

-That's why you went to town? -No, I appealed the decision.

-What decision? -My asylum case.

Weren't you listening at all?

Good morning, gentlemen. I'm handling Zaid's asylum case.

We were at a meeting yesterday at the Refugee Council at 9:30 a.m.

Three other people can confirm that. Here is a summons.

At what time did this kidnapping happen?

Thank you.

Zaid was at a meeting. Why didn't we know?

The head of the asylum centre didn't know anything.

They don't report their whereabouts. The alibi may be part of the plan.

-What plan? -Someone may have hidden the child.

-Who? -A helper, one of his refugee pals.

It's not him. He seemed genuinely upset.

He put on emotional mask. He was a member of the Iranian opposition.

He's probably been through tougher interrogations than this.

Why kidnap his child and seek out the mother?

-To appear innocent. -Why not go into hiding?

I don't believe it.

The man has a motive. We have to keep an open mind.

-Publish a description of Minna. -Let's not start a tsunami.

We have to be focused, or we'll be swamped with irrelevant tips.

Minna's gone for 24 hours. The chance of finding her is shrinking.

-We have nothing. -I acknowledge your instinct.

But when babies are kidnapped, it's almost always a family member.

Go home, get some sleep, and a bath. Then check the asylum centre.

Prepare a press statement and picture. It's already been cleared.

The police have no clear evidence

after the abduction of Minna Nyborg who was...

If it's not the father then who is it?

-Who would do that? -I don't know. We need help.

-That's the third time. -I know. It's Oxlev.

I'll let her cool down. We didn't see eye to eye on the press statement.

-I could cancel the conference. -No.

It's important. We're getting a nanny.

She'll be here in the afternoon.

Let's pray she's as sweet as she sounds.

-Right? -Right.

Or we'll find another one. Yes, Vidt?

Because it was necessary. I'll talk to Oxlev myself.

Says who?

Okay, I'll be right there.

They found the kidnapper's DNA. I have to go. Bye.

Bye-bye.

All right. Rolf. Vidt.

The profile doesn't match reference samples from the mother,

Zaid or the staff at the nursery.

So we believe it's the kidnapper's DNA, but it's not in the register.

They smoked an L&M brand cigarette

by the shed overlooking the playground.

Forensics found identical DNA on Minna's clothes.

Goddammit. Do you have to put it right there?

There's nowhere else to put it. You know that.

Weren't you moving to more modern facilities?

They said so 15 years ago.

Rolf Larsen? You're on the baby case?

Skaubo. Long time.

It's terrible. But you found the kidnapper's DNA?

-It doesn't match the dad's. -It's probably an accomplice.

Let's get more DNA samples from the asylum centre.

-I'll find the kits. -Right. Follow me.

-You want to come? -No, I'll go over the crime scene.

I don't think the dad did it.

-Wasn't that your theory? -Yes, it seems like it.

But I think Rolf has his own, don't you?

-What's your theory? -Not sure. No one noticed anything.

I can't take it when it involves children. Do you have any?

Yes, I have a girl.

Unfortunately, with work and everything, there's not enough time.

I was just about to buy a pram when they phoned.

-I've got one. -No, I didn't mean to...

It's as good as new. My wife wants to save it for grandchildren,

but Rebekka is 15 and Markus is 10, so it'll be a while.

-I'm serious. -Okay. Great. Thank you.

What are you thinking?

Maybe they weren't at the parking lot.

We know she disappeared at 9:30 a.m.

That evening, her clothes were found on the highway near the nursery.

What did they do in between?

-You've talked to the residents? -Yes. There's a hallway close by.

We found her boot out there. I've asked them to expand the search.

There might be more evidence.

-I'll drive out there. Thank you. -I'll text you.

Right. Bye.

He could have come this way through another backyard.

This is the same brand as the butt from the playground.

-What language is that? -Not Arabic.

I'll take it to Genetics.

It's the Minna case. I need DNA analysis.

Hand it in at the Forensics Centre. You can't just walk in here.

But it's important. It has to be quick.

We have tests from an asylum centre coming in.

Can't you do this first?

The police decide what we prioritise.

I am the police. Please, do it for the girl's sake.

The girl is 11 months. If we don't find her soon, she might not survive.

Are you a mother?

A cigarette pack? Same brand?

-Hi, honey. -Can you do this next?

I'll be there.

She'll be good.

She was actually really nice, a real country girl from Jutland.

-She can start tomorrow at six. -Seriously?

That's amazing.

-Where are we going? -I found a pram.

-Who lives here? -A Forensics colleague.

We'll be in and out in a second. Just come say hi.

-There you go. -Trick or treat!

It's trick!

There we go.

-Hello. Jarl. -Maria.

-Skaubo. We have toffee. -Thanks.

Come on, Duza.

It smells wonderful.

-This is Eva, my wife. -Hello.

-You're here for the pram? -Yes.

Hello, I'm Rolf. This is Maria.

-Who do we have here? -This is Andrea.

Hello, little girl...

She's so wonderful. Bekka, look at her. You were just like her.

Let's take off the knife, Mum, or you'll scare her.

I'm making spareribs and pumpkin soup. It's our little tradition.

We're eating early, so Markus can get out while there's candy.

Markus, would you get the pram?

-Want a beer? -No, that's all right.

Just one beer. They'll call if it's urgent.

We're running profiles from the asylum centre through the register

as quickly as Genetics can deliver them.

-It might be a waste of time. -You found a cigarette pack?

Yes, same brand as the butt from the kidnapper.

-Would you look at that! -Goodness me.

It's absolutely amazing, am I right? You can just fold it up and pack it.

It's very practical.

You won't be needing this.

-It's very beautiful. -It really is.

-Are you sure we can have it? -Yes! Of course, we pass it on.

-That's so sweet of you. -Thank you.

And you have to stay for dinner.

We have heaps of food.

-Can I leave now? -Yes, but take your plate out.

-Anyone up for another bite? -No, thank you.

Honey, save it for the dog. Duza would love it.

Why do I have to watch your blood pressure?

-Excuse me. -Coffee?

No, thanks. We have to leave. Maria has a flight tomorrow.

-Where to? -London, for a safety course.

I'm a flight attendant. I have to go before I can start at work again.

It'll be fine. Thank you for the pram and a lovely dinner.

We're glad you could use it.

They found DNA on your cigarette pack.

The DNA matches Minna's kidnapper.

And the pack was produced in Poland.

Remember the zinc ointment if her bum gets red.

-In the right drawer by the sink? -I already told you?

Three times. And you've pumped. The bottles are in the fridge.

The nanny comes at six. You sent me her number, twice.

It just feels weird leaving her.

It'll be good.

-I love you. -I love you.

Off you go.

-See you! -You bet.

-Hey, the suitcase! -Damn it.

-See you. -Safe trip.

It's just you and me now. Just you and me.

-You went behind my back. -I'm sorry.

-She's been gone for two days. -How do you think people will react?

One witness can make the difference.

It has to be the right witness!

We've got 164 tips in 24 hours.

ittle Minna with the heart went viral.

Everyone thinks they saw her. It'll take months to verify.

-Anything pointing to Poland, Stine? -No.

All we have is paranoid neighbours calling in about crying babies.

Shouldn't you get that one home anyway?

-What bag is that? -From the roadside with her clothes.

That's the ferry to Poland.

And Sweden and Austria. There are thousands of crossings every day.

The kidnapper's Polish cigarettes are our only solid lead.

He went through the parking lot where his DNA was on the cigarette pack -

-then the highway where the clothes were scattered, right?

Then get the bag tested.

Why would the dad have a Polish man kidnap Minna?

He needs connections to disappear with her.

Poland doesn't take refugees.

So the dad's probably not involved. We're wasting our time.

If we don't find her soon, I'm afraid we never will.

-I think we got him. -Excuse me?

Zaid's former roommate disappeared last month.

This is a passport.

He entered Sweden on false papers the day Minna disappeared.

His car was found in Gothenburg.

We need to go before the bridge closes.

-Are you getting a nanny? -She's on her way. You just go.

The gales have cost a 58-year-old man his life so far.

Trees are falling...

Rolf speaking.

Hello, Liva. Are you coming soon?

Okay. Right, I've seen it on the news.

No worries. Let's hope it looks better in the morning. Great. Bye.

Damn it!

-What's wrong? -The bridge closed.

The nanny is stuck in Jutland. It's just you and me.

-You asked about Poland? -Yes. Any news?

This came from the police in Tworóg.

It's north-west of Krakow. Someone saw Minna at a petrol station.

She looks like you.

Could you hold her one second? Go to Stine...

Hello. Komisariat Policji. Wladek speaking.

Rolf Larsen, Danish police. I need information.

-Do you have a casenumber? -Yes. Case number 13 44 56.

-Thanks. -Yes, I have the case number here.

It seems like there's a witness who has seen a girl.

The witness talked about the Danish girl

with the heart-shaped birthmark.

-Minna Nygaard? -She saw her picture on Facebook.

My colleague, Karol Kozlowski, took the call, but I have an idea.

I'll leave a message for him, Karol, and he will call you in the morning.

No, I'll come down there. I have to talk to the witness.

Okay, I'll tell him. Bye.

Hi. Any news?

The results will be ready tomorrow.

-You're going to Sweden? -No, to Poland.

-Poland? -A witness has seen Minna there.

Witnesses are all over northern Europe.

I have several leads pointing to Poland. Vidt covers Sweden.

But... in this weather? They're closing everything down.

I plan on making the last crossing from Gedser.

If it's Minna, we can't wait.

We're three days late. Here's the pacifier.

-Did you bring your daughter? -The nanny is stranded in Jutland.

You can't do that, Rolf. Why don't I come with you?

I'll drive while you take care of the kid.

Stop by Greve, we'll take my car.

Okay.

Wow, wow.

-Tworóg with w? -Yes.

-Who's the witness? -Some girl.

-They're sure she saw Minna? -That's what we need to find out.

What few leads we have all point to Poland.

-This is our best witness. -Right.

We'll go through Berlin to highway E40.

We'll cross the border at Wroclaw.

You'll sleep and be rested when we get there.

-Don't you want the French fries? -No, I'm afraid it'll come back up.

You're a bloody landlubber. Can I have...?

Yeah. We need some fresh air.

I'll try to get her to sleep.

-I'll see you at the car. -Right.

The ferry will dock in ten minutes. Please return to the car deck.

Andrea! Andrea!

Andrea!

Andrea!

Rolf! What's going on?

She's gone!

Stop the ship! My daughter washed overboard, you have to stop.

-Stop the ship. -We're docking.

I don't get it. I put the brakes on.

It can't be. I strapped her in!

Someone has taken her.

Excuse me.

Stop!

Let go! No! My daughter! My daughter is gone.

My daughter!

Stop the car!
