You can still do the right thing.

It's obvious that Bror used you. Just like he used the girls.

No!

It looks like organised laundering of stolen children.

And the hub is the orphanage in Poland.

Minna was brought to a convent in Poland.

Other children were stolen as well.

Vidt denies everything. It seems he handed in that evidence.

He keeps insisting it was from that motel in Poland.

We took the wrong girl. I think her mother came and took her back.

Her mother? From Poland?

Where is my daughter? Where did you take her?

To Aunt Nova.

Aunt Nova?

Leave right now, or I'll call the police.

We have reason to believe that your daughter could be identical -

with a Danish girl who was kidnapped five years ago.

Please know that we did everything with the best intentions.

Jarl Emil Skaubo is charged with manipulating the investigation

and removing leads and profiles from the DNA database.

-Does the accused agree? -I regret my actions.

I know it was wrong. However at time, I couldn't see any other option.

The prosecution requests a remand -

as Eva Nowak Skaubo is one of the top people of the Bliss network -

-that has organised the trading of babies.

Husband of the accused, Jarl Skaubo, a policeman, is likewise charged -

-with manipulating the investigation of the Minna case.

I admit to my guilt.

My wife's business associates were responsible for Minna's kidnapping.

I have helped unwanted children get a dignified life.

I helped children of young mothers from poor backgrounds -

into families that could offer them opportunities they never had.

My driving force is my view of humanity and my faith.

You must have known that it was illegal.

The welfare of the children was more important.

What was your role in relation to Minna's father, Zaid Kasemi -

who mistakenly came under suspicion and was imprisoned in absentia?

He faced deportation I aided him financially to get on with his life.

You bribed him to go into hiding.

I myself grew up in a convent and was later adopted.

I've always been grateful for the opportunities this gave me.

So it was only natural for me to repay the service and pay it forward.

-How long did you run this business? -I consider it a calling.

Did you also aid with a false passport and misleading DNA leads -

from Zaid Kasemi and Minna at a motel in Poland?

I wished to protect my family.

As a Catholic, how do you view marriage

between two people of the same gender?

As I understand it, Bliss has helped several gay couples adopt children.

Was your faith or the price of 80,000 euro per baby -

the driving force in those instances?

I've always acted in good faith for the sake of the children.

There was no right solution.

I'm sure that Minna ended up in good hands.

I doubt that her mother would agree.

Due to reasonable suspicion of aiding in human trafficking -

which is punishable by at least six years in prison -

the conditions for remand have been met.

Jarl Emil Skaubo will be remanded for four weeks.

The first two weeks will be in isolation.

I want to question Skaubo.

That's up to the Police Complaints Authority.

-Why did he go with me to Poland? -To stay close to the investigation.

If my daughter hadn't disappeared, the Minna case would've been solved.

I just have a hard time imagining what would've happened.

If Skaubo had anything to do with your daughter, they will find out.

I promise.

Minna is coming to Denmark with her adoptive parents.

I've notified the mother.

Go to the public service centre and prepare her for that meeting.

-I'm Piotr Kalinowski. -Hello, I'm the interpreter.

This is my wife, Paulina, and Alicja.

Hello.

It's alright, honey. Don't be afraid.

-I'll go and get her. -Take a seat here, please.

You can take a seat here.

This feels so unreal.

I don't know how to thank you.

I just hope that she's fine and has been well.

Do you think she'll remember me?

-Lis Juul, Head of Children & Youths. -Gunvor.

-Neel. -Rolf.

They are ready, so follow me, please.

My little darling.

Just say hi, darling.

Hello.

-Please, sit down. -Thank you.

I've brought some pictures from when you were little.

She brought some pictures of you from when you were little.

You were so beautiful.

This is Bambam. Do you remember Bambam?

Do you remember Bambam?

I've brought him. Bambam.

Do you remember him?

Look how pretty you were, darling.

See that? Your heart was very clear back then, see?

I want to go home.

Honey...

Remember what we've talked about?

You have to stay here for a little while -

and get to know your biological mom.

I don't want to... I want to go home.

-She wants to go home. -That's to be expected.

Sweetheart...

This is your biological mom. She loves you very much.

She is not my mom, you're my mom.

You just have to get to know this lady, that's all.

-Please, just that. -No, Dad, I don't want to.

I think this is enough.

You have to say goodbye now.

-Do you mean now? -Yes.

Come, darling.

Sweetheart... We'll see you in a few days.

-Just like we said. -We'll be with you all this time.

-We're always there for you. -We love you.

Never forget about that. You are our sunshine.

You must go with your mother now.

-Mum! -You have to go with your mother.

I don't want to... Mum! Mum!

-Come. -Mum!

-Do you still have that? -As you can see...

-How old is it? -I don't know.

Time for beers and pizza.

I've got Hawaii and Diablo with pepperoni. And look at this.

MINNA IS ALIVE

Even my Mum in Drammen has been following the story.

It's very touching.

Cheers. And congratulations.

The question is if it was worth it.

What do you mean? Of course it was worth it.

Because of you, the mother has got her child back.

-Is it alright, if I take one of those? -Yes. Where are you going?

I have some unfinished business. I'll clear up later.

-Will you lock up? -Yes, of course.

Thanks for your help. See you.

-Yes? -Oliver is ready for questioning.

-I'll go get Claire. -I'm in the middle of moving.

Okay. One more thing...

The theory about why Minna was kidnapped doesn't make sense.

What do you mean?

Polish girl who came for her child

arrived days after Minna's kidnapping.

-Are you sure? -Yes.

Stahl checked her license plate in Gedser.

It's impossible that he kidnapped Minna

because she got her child back.

-Hi. -Hi.

-I need to talk to Jarl Skaubo. -Larsen. That was your case.

We just talked about you. Well done.

-Congratulations. -Thanks. Where is he?

-The police authority has taken over. -I know.

I won't poach on their territory. Skaubo is a personal friend of mine.

I want to hear his version of the story. I don't want any trouble.

A cold pizza, and then I'm done in 15 minutes.

All right.

-He's in there. -Thanks.

Thanks.

-Rolf? -Pizza.

-I don't know what to say... -Eat.

What was the plan? Poland?

What was your plan if we'd met the witness? What would you have done?

It must've been convenient for you that my daughter disappeared.

If she hadn't, we'd have solved the case.

-Eva would've been busted. -That's not how I saw it.

What do you want me to think, huh? You offered to help with the case -

-to manipulate the investigation and save Eva's arse.

It got out of hand. I had started it... So I had to finish it.

You knew I would solve the case -

-so you distracted me and made Andrea disappear.

No, Rolf. That's not what happened.

-You mustn't think it was me. -Did you make someone do it?

Was it Oliver? The foster father?

Who was it? Who did it? Who took her?

-It was the girl. -What girl?

The one from Poland, Julita.

I promise to leave you alone. Just give my baby back to me, please.

I said leave now. We don't have your child.

Do you want to have trouble with the police?

Do you want to have trouble with the Danish police? Go.

I don't know why she sought us out.

How was I supposed to know that it was her daughter?

Her daughter? Her what?

-Her what? Her what? -Careful, my heart!

Her what, Jarl? Her what?

Who took her Jarl?

Tell me what happened! What happened?

What the hell happened?

-What happened, Jarl? -My heart!

-My defibrillator! My heart... -What happened?

She died... She died! The daughter died.

-And Julita? -My heart...

What about the mother?

-The night... when you picked me up... -Yes?

I thought she'd left.

But she must've been waiting for us...

Oliver took Minna. It's not related to the Polish girl getting her baby.

-What happened? -There was a case five years ago.

A baby was found in a sports bag in Ølsemagle.

-How is that related to the case? -It was the Polish girl's daughter.

According to Oliver, she died after a health check.

-With a retired nurse in Køge. -Why don't these things ever work?

She was part of Eva's network, making sure the babies were ready -

-and the papers were in order before they were sent.

There she goes.

Oliver was on his way back, so he and Melanie could go to Paris with baby.

Then he went to the hospital, because his mother had a blood clot -

and forgot the baby in the car. When he came back, she was dead.

Do they know why?

I'm asking what the baby died of. Was it a cold or...

That's what Oliver thought, but the forensic report concludes -

-that the baby had low amounts of serotonin in the brainstem.

It was related to crib death.

Sudden infant death syndrome.

Oliver says that he took Minna -

-because he was afraid of explaining himself.

The baby was worth 80,000 euro -

-and it seems the foster father was stern.

Okay.

-But what about the car? -What car?

The car that was on the ferry the night Rolf's daughter disappeared.

If the Polish girl didn't get her baby back -

-then which baby were the traces from?

Oxlev speaking. What? When?

Thanks. Rolf has assaulted Skaubo in his cell.

His defibrillator alerted emergency call centre. They contacted us.

-Why did you let Rolf in? -He just came with a pizza.

Was he on the ferry that night Rolf's daughter disappeared?

Yes. Skaubo is the one who sabotaged the Minna case.

Did Rolf want to punish him or get information from him?

-What happened? -Skaubo was on the floor.

It seemed that Rolf was trying to make him say something.

-What? Did you hear what he said? -Marguerite... Maison.

Maison Marguerite. What's that?

Apparently, that's what Skaubo said to Rolf in there.

What if he did actually have something to do -

-with the disappearance of Rolf's daughter?

Thank you.

My condolences.

Let us know if there is anything we can do.

-Thank you. -May God be with you!

-I just want to talk to you. -Don't touch her.

No one will take your daughter. But listen to me if you want to keep her.

Let me go, or I'll call the police.

What are you going to tell them? That you stole a child?

-You stole my child! She's mine. -I'm here to help you.

I've got something for you. A birth certificate and some money.

You don't have any papers proving she's yours.

You'll be in trouble if she gets sick.

Please, take them.

It was never anybody's intention to take your child against your will.

Bullshit. You're just trying to help yourself.

Let's just say it's in everyone's best interest.

And you should get rid of the car. It's been reported stolen.

-I'd like you to leave. -One more thing.

There's a place in France. They support single mothers.

If you need a safe environment for her to grow up in...

Rolf isn't answering his phone.

The GPS signal from his car crossed into Germany.

He'll be charged if Skaubo dies.

Maybe Skaubo just fell because of his defibrillator.

Eva Nowak worked at Maison de Marguerite

when she studied in France.

Maison de Marguerite... "Centre pour mères célibataires".

It's a centre for single mothers. That's where he's headed.

Come on, mon petit chou.

Only because it's Easter.

What about the sandwich?

There will be plenty of cakes, don't worry. Jump in.

Ready? Let's go.

-Hello, how are you? -Hello.

-Hi, Luc. How are you? -Hello.

-Would you like a sweet? -What will it be? One of these?

-A pain aux raisins. Here. -Thanks. Get back in.

Have a nice day.

One croissant, all right.

-I don't have time now. -You're wanted for aggravated assault.

Claire and I are coming with two policemen. They know where you are.

-Make them wait. -I can't. I have no jurisdiction here.

-I found her. -Your daughter?

-Are you sure? -Yes. It's her.

He says he found his daughter.

Get off now.

-How's it going? -Good.

I painted this one, and this one -

-and my mum painted these two.

-How much is it? -One euro.

-Perfect. -Thank you. Bye.

Care for an egg?

That'll be one euro. It goes to charity.

-Sorry, I don't speak... -You're not French?

I'm sorry, who are you again?

-I'm Julita. I'm Hania's mother. -I'm Rolf.

-You can go play now. -Great.

-Who are you the father of? -Andrea.

Cute name. I'm sorry, I know I've seen you before.

It's always the children's faces you remember. Isn't that so?

-For the egg. -Thank you.

There's one here.

What class will Andrea be in when they move up to first grade?

Hania will be in Madame Jacquemain's class. She's very nice.

She'll be in Celeste's class. Did you hear that, honey?

-That's wonderful. -Hi.

I don't think we've met. I adore your daughter.

Oh, he's not...! Rolf is Andrea's father.

Yeah, excuse me for a second.

-Two ice creams, please. -Two ice creams.

You don't have to eat them all at once. Here, put them in the basket.

Care for an ice cream? I can't find my family.

Sure, thanks. I don't know about Hania.

-Haven't you had too many sweets yet? -No.

Thanks.

-Can you say thank you? -Merci beaucoup.

-It's "thank you" in English. -Thank you.

You're welcome. How are you?

Who is this gentleman?

Rolf has a little daughter at school, too.

-Do you know Andrea? -Nope.

-Look at my pebble. -You coming?

Neel here. We've found him.

No. Wait. Give him a few minutes.

Are your wife and Andrea coming?

Yeah, they just went to the bathroom.

-Let me. -No, let me. It's fine.

He took the lolly stick.

Her DNA.

I think she must have been a fisherman in a previous life.

We can't walk past the river without her wanting

to see what they've caught!

If it continues like this, I'll have to buy a fishing rod.

I got one she can have.

Really? That's so nice of you, but you don't have to.

-What is it, Mum? -It's alright, sweetheart.

I have plenty of them, so it's fine. No problem.

Rolf says he might have a fishing rod that you can have.

-Please, Mummy, can I? -Maybe for your birthday.

When's my birthday?

No! He'll come to us. Wait here.

Let me talk to him.

We'll see if you've deserved it by then.

What if I haven't?

Then... Then I'll tickle you.

So you found the truth? It's never what we think, is it?

"Believe those who seek the truth. Doubt those who say they found it."

-I've got to go. -Is everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah, everything's fine. Just tell her that...

... that I'll bring the fishing rod next time.

That would be lovely.

I've got one. Perfect for her size.

So... bye.

"We are our choices."
