Paula in room four gave birth yesterday. You can take her place.

-Is something wrong? -There are no profiles from the case.

My daughter disappeared on the ferry Minna and the kidnapper were on.

There's no connection.

Minna's kidnapper is wanted for killing a young girl in France.

We'll reopen the Minna case, and we need someone

to collaborate with the French.

Claire Bobain, French judicial police.

There was a Polish witness. Perhaps a trip to Poland would be prudent.

A Polish man contacted Minna's mother after the kidnapping.

His name is Igor Bujalski. We've got an address. Let's go.

Good afternoon, we are looking for Igor Bujalski.

-What has happened? -Would you mind letting us inside?

-What is it that you want? -Is Igor Bujalski your husband?

-No, he's my father. -We have to talk to him.

Good luck with that.

-Igor Bujalski? Is that him? -Yes.

My father is paralysed. Can you tell me what's going on?

-Do you know this man, Zaid Kazemi? -No, who is he?

What about her?

Minna?

You know her? How do you know Minna?

I saw her at the gas station in Pusta Kuznica, but it was years ago.

I reported it, but no one did anything.

-So you reported it? That was you? -Yeah.

-Did you call Minna's mother? -Yes.

-How did you get her number? -Facebook. I found her work number.

I called her and I left her a message to call me back here, but she didn't.

Minna's mother did call here, but a man answered.

Could your father have answered the phone?

Back then? Probably yes. He was in the wheelchair.

Can you please cool it a little bit?

-You were working at the gas station? -Not exactly.

What were you doing there then?

I was earning money on the side while at uni.

-How did you hear about Minna? -My old classmate works in Denmark.

She posted a picture of that cute little girl.

Tell us about Minna. What did you see?

I remember, I was just coming out from the toilet, and I saw this guy.

He was standing and smoking with a baby in his arms.

I thought it strange. You don't do that. And then I saw the baby

with this birthmark.

-And then? -I asked him if I could see the baby.

And he ran into a car. I tried to stop him, but I just couldn't.

-Was he alone? -Someone was with him in the shop.

A girl. She jumped into the car, and they just drove off.

-Can you just hold him for a sec? -Yeah.

What about the guy? What did he look like?

Dark hair, in his 20s, pale, skinny.

I filmed him with my phone.

I just have to find it. It's an old work phone, and...

I never throw out batteries. I

believe our children will inherit the Earth.

It should work, but it needs recharging.

Somebody thinks Danish police deserve a second chance.

Is that your child?

Hey, excuse me. Is that your child?

Is that your child? This isn't your child, leave it alone.

Hey, wait. This isn't your child. Wait!

-So we have a face. -More or less.

Caucasian male. Dark hair, slender build, in his early 20s.

-Must be in his late 20s now. -And the nationality?

-Probably not an Iranian refugee. -She didn't think he was Polish.

-What about the license plate? -No, the recording is too poor.

-Can't even tell the nationality. -The surveillance?

They don't save recordings that are five years old.

So we check our database and see if anyone looks like this guy.

I assume you'll do the same.

I'll have a description issued in France, Poland and Europol.

-Do you mind calling me a cab? -Sure.

-Sleep well. -You too.

All we have is a blurry image of a white male in his early 20s

with Minna.

We have no proof Zaid was behind his daughter's kidnapping.

-He stayed at the hotel. -A week after she was seen there.

There's DNA in the room from Minna and Zaid.

A drawing and a disposable razor.

Where did this so-called evidence come from?

-We didn't get it from the Polish. -You think it's been planted?

How can Vidt register DNA evidence?

It wasn't from the police, and he didn't collect it.

You're right!

That's why Vidt has been suspended,

and why we have an internal investigation.

Let's just wait and let them do their job.

-Hi. -Hi.

-You're Neel Skipsted? -Yeah.

-Nice to meet you. Astrid Oxlev. -Hi.

Thank you for giving me a chance. I'm grateful to be here.

-Good job on the Tranum Man. -Thank you.

-So... -I'm drying clothes for tomorrow.

-Did you move in here? -Well, no, I...

-It's just until I find something. -At least you won't be late for work.

No, that's right.

We've sent out description and dental profile of the French murder victim

and we're following up on the tattoo.

-Good. Sleep well. -Right, thank you.

-Hey, Rolf. -I'm sorry. I tried to be quiet.

No, I'm up early ever since I got that defibrillator implant.

If my heart rate is off by even a little bit, it'll set it off.

-Do you want to feel it? -Sure.

-Can you feel it? -Yeah. That's weird.

It's like getting kicked by a horse. You collapse. But it's clever.

It'll send for an ambulance, which arrives within ten minutes.

-That's the kidnapper? -Yeah.

Not a lot to go on. Any idea who he is?

No.

If only Vidt had got off his fat arse and met the witness in Poland.

There was a car on the ferry the day Andrea disappeared.

It might be nothing,

but it was reported stolen and had traces from a baby.

It was found in a forest near Stalowa Wola, Poland.

-But you don't think that Andrea... -I don't know what I think.

-But you have to see this. -Looks like some sort of mark.

A symbol.

Don't you have anthropologists and graphologists who know about that?

-Send me the picture. I'll find out. -Thank you.

-Sleep well. -Thank you.

-They won't let you starve. -Vitamins and nutrition supplements.

We want to make sure the little one gets what it needs.

Come over to the clinic after breakfast. We'll do a check-up.

-I'm Julita, nice to meet you. -I'm Amelia...

Hi, I'm Ela. Are you the one taking Paula's spot?

-How far along are you? -23rd week.

I'm in the 24th.

There's Paula...

-I thought the birth went well? -It went fine.

But... where's the baby?

Given up for adoption.

I could never do that.

You have very high blood pressure.

We'll keep monitoring your urine samples

and we will do daily blood tests.

Thank you, sister.

She will be okay then?

Only God knows that, but we're all praying for her.

Here are your papers. Just sign at the bottom.

-What's that? -The declaration of adoption.

But I'm not giving it up for adoption.

What do you mean?

I want to be a mother, sister.

It is always a very difficult decision.

But you have to keep in mind what's best for the child.

That's exactly what I'm doing.

-They never stop. -Come on, Irenka.

They want your baby and they will never give up.

-Stop it now. -You'll never have my babies.

Never.

-Excuse me? -What do you want?

-Did you make this? -Who's asking?

I've been asking around, and they all say it looks like your work.

I've got lots of copycats.

It was made on a young girl,

blonde, about 5'5", within the last few months.

I don't tattoo minors.

I'm not here to bust you for inking a minor

but I need to know if you've seen this woman.

-She's dead? -Yes.

She wanted phoenix wings, a new beginning.

She was Danish?

Do you have any information? Did she use a credit card?

She was here with a guy. He paid cash in euros.

-What did he look like? -Dark hair. Slim.

Pale. Mid 20s maybe. He came to get her, paid, didn't say anything.

Was this him?

Maybe.

-More coffee, Rolf? -No, thank you.

Don't you have work soon?

The Civil Service opens at 12:00 p.m.

Jarl says you're catching up to Minna's kidnapper.

That might be going too far, but we'll have to rethink the case.

Maybe it wasn't Zaid, the father, who took the child.

I'm sorry to ask you this, but should you be reopening old wounds?

Isn't it too close?

In some curious way, it feels good to have it be close again.

It's like I've been dead for five years.

-Promise to take care of yourself. -Yes, thank you.

You're here for dinner?

No thanks. Maria might have found an apartment.

Okay.

-Rolf speaking. -Rolf...

The murdered girl in France is Danish. Victoria Svendsen.

Her residence is listed as Kragebakkegård on Lolland.

-Was she reported missing? -No, but had a tattoo 45 days ago.

Danish law requires customers be registered.

Good, Neel. Good job, again.

-Let's go to Lolland. -I'll pick you up.

It's a care centre for disadvantaged youth

run by Bror and Vibeke Randbøl.

According to local authorities, Victoria was placed here

when her family was charged with sexual abuse.

Vibeke?

-Hey. -Hello. We're from the police.

-Does Victoria Svendsen live here? -Yes.

When did you last see her?

14 days ago. We came home yesterday.

-Home? Where from? -Bangladesh.

Our foundation runs a dormitory for Dhakan street children.

-Why didn't you report her missing? -We did.

I reported it yesterday. The police thought we should wait.

Her sister said she was going to a cottage with her boyfriend.

-How many foster children you have? -Six. I mean...

-They've been alone for 14 days? -They're grown up.

-Only Shamille hasn't turned 18. -But they're in your care?

Our obligations are until they're 18. But we still have a responsibility.

We're the closest to a family they have.

-What was she doing in France? -We're trying to figure that out.

-Who was her boyfriend? -We never met him.

-Have you seen this man before? -No.

If she went to France, she must have told somebody.

Maybe Melanie, her big sister. They were close.

Does she live here too?

-How long have they lived here? -Eight years.

Victoria was 10, Melanie was 15.

-We need to talk to her, too. -I want to tell her what happened.

She's had very traumatic experiences at her former home.

I won't tell her, but this is important for the investigation.

I'll record it on video, so she won't have to testify in court.

Do you have any connections to Poland?

No. Why?

You are 34 weeks pregnant, so you need to be prepared.

-I hope you feel safe here. -Yes, naturally.

I'm very grateful.

But you're still considering what you want to do after the birth?

-You will need to decide very soon. -I have decided.

I want to keep my child.

You're only 19, you have no education or profession.

You're not even married.

But it is still not too late to seek forgiveness.

We were going to get married. We were going to be a family.

Jesus gave his life for our sins.

We are all God's children.

And you owe everything to the child you carry. Don't be selfish.

Even if we wanted to, we'll not be able to help you

if you make a decision that goes against Christian principles.

-What's the matter? -I don't know.

Do something! Go and get help!

Push harder.

Irenka is going into labour. But you've still got time.

Is my baby going to be fine?

Your condition has deteriorated. You have developed preeclampsia.

But is she okay?

Sister, she's ready.

It'll be fine, as long as you stay calm.

It's time.

A contraction is coming. Push!

There it is.

There it is.

Let's get the twin out quickly.

Ready? Push.

-There you go. -My name is Melanie.

I'm studying to be a service assistant.

When did you last see your sister?

They day after Bror and Vibeke left. Did something happen?

We're trying to locate her, so you must tell me everything you know.

Does she have a boyfriend?

Is it this guy?

I don't know who he is.

-Are you sure? -I've never seen him.

Did something happen to her?

I need to know who this boyfriend is in order to find her.

Did she mention his name? Or where he came from?

-Whether he was Danish? -She met him in town. In Nakskov.

-And what's his name? -I don't know.

Did she say where they were going?

And you haven't been in touch with her since?

I've called many times, but she doesn't answer.

The Nakskov police confirmed. The foster father called and was worried.

Did we trace the phone?

She was picked up in a car out there. The day before her death.

The signal changes mobile phone mast at 1:52 p.m.

They took a ferry and continued to Jutland across the German border.

The French will get info from European phone companies.

-What did the girls say? -We're interviewing.

We had to wait for the foster mother to inform them.

Seemingly, Victoria didn't tell her sister all that much.

Your friend from Jutland is quick on the uptake.

-You mean the tattoo? -Phoenix.

Rises from the ashes to start anew. I hoped you would do the same.

We prioritise international cooperation.

-I'm going to Paris tomorrow. -That's not what I meant.

There was an episode in Poland.

Claire thinks you investigated beyond the case.

It seems you had the Polish police check the wrong ferry crossing.

I thought we agreed this wasn't about your daughter.

All I know is, a white male kidnapped a baby and brought her to Poland.

Five years later takes an 18-year-old girl to France to kill her.

If we don't see a connection, we're lost.

Or maybe there is none.

We have to focus on what we believe, even if it turns out to be wrong.

Exactly. So keep your daughter out of this, or you're disqualified.

I'm not talking about me. Don't make the same mistake twice.

It won't be less embarrassing this time,

especially when you try to parade an international police cooperation.

The family is expatriated for two years. You can get the key next week.

-If you don't mind the furniture. -I've led a Spartan life.

How pathetic, Rolf. A real divorced man, eh?

-Haven't there been others? -What do you mean?

Someone else?

Let's not go there.

Can you really stand having me live this close?

If you stay over there and throw a trout over to us once in a while.

-What if I don't catch any? -I bet you will.

Would you like some wine?

It's fine.

-The place has changed. -Yes.

Just sit down.

Are these the pilot's designer chairs? Thanks.

-Are you only having water? -Yes. I'm thirsty all the time.

Cheers.

What's this case in Poland that the Jutland police must assist with?

It's a murder investigation.

-A Danish girl was killed in France. -What's Poland got to do with that?

It's because...

...the killer is probably the same person who kidnapped Minna.

-But I thought the father did it? -Yes.

New leads have emerged.

And they may be more interesting than we assumed at first.

Rolf...

Is it wise of you to get involved in that?

We need to investigate the French case first. See where it leads.

What aren't you telling me? What do you know?

Eh?

There was a stolen car on the ferry the day when Andrea disappeared.

The car was later found with traces from a baby.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have told you.

They say I should stay in bed until the delivery.

-But she's alright. -It won't be long now.

Mrs. Buczkowski has given us the nicest cradle.

And I'm sewing the bedding...

I've missed your dumplings. See, I've eaten too much.

Come on...

I want my babies back. You hear me?

Let me go. I want my babies.

Let me go.

I know you've taken them! You're lying. Let me go!

-What's going on? -She's got a puerperal psychosis.

Her babies were stillborn.

They are my babies!

Let me go. No!

We've got to make it in time.

Get down now.

Get down!

Are you alright? What are you doing?

Victoria crossed the border at Valenciennes

about ten hours after she left her home in Denmark.

The car drove directly to Paris.

We tracked the signal to this building.

The girl apparently had been waiting in the car from 5 to 9 a.m.

Then the phone seems to have moved inside the building.

20 minutes later, the signal stopped.

-Who lives in the building? -The owner lives on the third floor.

A 74-year-old widow used to live on the fifth floor.

She's moved into an elderly home.

And on the fourth here,

lives a single lawyer in his 50s, so let's start with him.

-Monsieur Lamont is out of town. -Has he been away long?

Almost two months. He's on secondment in Hong Kong.

Has anyone else used the apartment?

No, Madame.

The lawyer hasn't been home in two months.

-Maybe the next building? -It's a store. Let's see the owner.

Maybe we overlooked something.

You complained about me to my boss.

Next time, just come to me.

I don't interfere in how you all do your job.

But if you mess around with irrelevant information,

-I won't be part of it. -Who says it's irrelevant?

Unless you have something you haven't told me.

I'm too old for guessing games.

If you're going to paddle your own canoe, I'm better off alone.

Wasn't the apartment upstairs empty?

Sir! Detective Inspector Bobain, Criminal Investigation Department.

-May I ask why you're here? -I live here.

Madame Isabelle Moreau?

My mother is in a nursing home. I took on the apartment.

-We'd like to talk to you. -It's not a good time.

We could discuss it down at the station,

while I have my team search the apartment.

Follow me.

What are you looking for?

-How long have you been living here? -About four months. Why?

Can you tell me where you were on Sunday afternoon two weeks ago?

I don't know. Probably here. Why all these questions?

She was also here. Victoria Svendsen. Danish.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

-Have you met her before? -I've never seen her before.

-I ask you to take a proper look. -Never seen her.

Please tell me what are you doing here?

-Sit down, please. -What are you looking for?

Claire.

This is a bag from a Danish supermarket.

It's filled with baby stuff.

-Just stay there. -Hello?

Hello.

Inspector Bobain. And you are...?

Fabien lives here with me.

Fabien Moreau. What's this about?

This is Victoria Svendsen. You partner said he's never seen her.

What about you? Have you seen her?

I've already told them we don't know her.

What about this one? Have you been to Denmark recently?

What a coincidence. Victoria was Danish.

We need you to come down to the station.

You'd better contact a lawyer.
