I'll give William's parents an update.

Right.

POLICE

Good morning.

Morning.

Shouldn't you be part of the search today?

Yes, but I want to talk to you first.

Okay. What is it?

There's new information about William.

Ricky Hansen, the soldier who was found...

was drugged with Midazolam.

William's girlfriend, Elvira, was also.

We know the perp was in their apartment

and stole a trophy like before.

Everything indicates that it's the same perp as five years ago.

What did he take from him?

A wristwatch.

Alice, we don't expect to find William alive.

THOSE WHO KILL

The search continued throughout the night.

Canine units from all over Funen are looking in the woods.

Almost 100 volunteers are out searching today.

People turned up at 7 a.m. to help.

It's Saturday, so we could get extra help.

Did you find his car?

Not yet. Unfortunately.

We have several tips from people who've seen it.

We're following up on them.

Could it be driven abroad to be sold?

It's unlikely.

We believe the perp took William's car to avoid using his own.

You've spent two days looking for him!

Why the hell are you only searching the woods?

I realize how difficult this is for you.

That your son is missing like this,

but...

We have reason

to believe it's the same perp who killed Ricky.

William isn't dead.

Gorm.

As his father, I'd know if he was dead. He isn't.

-Hi. -Hi.

Here.

Thanks.

It might seem odd that I'm here,

since Kasper was found out here.

but I want to help.

Is it true that Markus Ejbye and William knew each other?

Yes.

They went to high school together.

How awful for Alice.

First, she loses Markus and now his friend.

Maybe I should visit her.

Do you know her?

We've met a few times. She came to Kasper's funeral.

I thought it was very gracious of her to come

after having lost Markus.

Louise?

Thanks.

-Did you talk to them? -Yes.

I didn't say what they wanted to hear.

That we can still find him alive.

Yes, especially the father, Gorm, is clinging to hope.

-Where did he go from Odense? -We don't know yet.

We assumed he drove here, so we have CCTV of roads going east and south.

Take a look.

We have footage from cameras here and here

and from the freeways to Nyborg and Svendborg.

So far William's car hasn't turned up,

and it's easily recognizable.

We've combed this area twice.

If William's body was here, we'd have found it.

Isn't it unlikely he'd choose the place

he dumped his last victim two days before?

Yes, probably. But we only have his damn previous M.O. to go by.

What do we do?

Call off the search?

But not our people. Thank the volunteers and send them home.

Yup.

He didn't bring him here. Søren is right.

He's not that stupid.

Can he have changed his pattern this time?

Yes.

He changed his M.O. in other ways.

He's experimenting for the thrill of it.

Okay.

So the first time, he attacks a strong victim like Ricky.

The second time, he controls two people.

It gives him a bigger kick.

You say that torturing the victim

and not the murder itself turns him on.

Couldn't he hold William captive somewhere and keep him alive?

Yes.

We must figure out in what direction he left Odense.

-Have we been out here? -Not yet. There isn't much industry.

So it's hard to find CCTV.

Perhaps our perp knows that too.

Let's go.

You've grown out of the old ones.

You can exchange the bag if you want.

It's cool.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

When is your match?

At 3:00.

We have to be there an hour before.

Okay.

I'll drive you there and come back to see the match.

The team might want to celebrate your birthday.

We can bring candy.

No, it's fine.

-Hi. Is this a bad time? -Not at all. Come in.

Hi, Leif.

Hi there.

I'm on my way to Odense.

A little bird told me

that it's someone's birthday.

-Happy birthday. -Thank you.

-Coffee? -Please.

-It's really cool. -I'm glad.

Thanks.

Isn't there a present from Mom?

The boots and bag are also from Mom.

Well...

You know that Mom is very busy

with her work and new position.

So she just forgot to buy a present.

MOM

COURT OF ODENSE

It's not up to the steering committee.

Communication is our responsibility. You must see that.

Yes, but the courts administration chooses content...

...a good example of...

Alice...

Do me a favor, Jon. Will you collect the personal things in my office

and have them sent to my home?

And will you be so kind

as to give everyone my regards and say thank you?

Thank you.

How are you?

I'll never get used to telling someone that their loved one is dead.

Have you done that many times?

Do you think I'm counting?

Yes, I do.

Don't you?

Twelve.

The worst is when it's a child.

A ten-year-old boy drowned.

When we came to tell the parents,

they were setting the table in the garden.

They were having company.

It was his birthday.

Wait! There's a camera.

Hello. Karina Hørup, Funen Police.

I'd like to ask you about your CCTV camera.

I have permission.

We're investigating a car theft. May we come in?

-Of course. -Thank you.

I haven't needed to look at the footage before,

but it must be on the server.

Let's see.

It goes back a month. When was it?

Tuesday night.

Then we should...

Here we are.

There isn't much traffic at night.

No. Can we fast forward?

There!

It's a Vauxhall Corsa.

Are you looking for a Vauxhall Corsa?

-No. -No, it's that Aston Martin, right?

I heard the report. You're looking for the young man.

There!

Go back.

Yeah. That's an Aston Martin.

Someone will come and pick that up.

Søren is checking for tips on the car going in that direction.

-How far did he drive? -Not far, I think.

The car stands out, so he probably got rid of it before daylight.

Karina Hørup.

I'm glad you called, Gorm. I was about to...

Yes?

Okay.

That's fine. Bye.

William's dad wants to see me.

-Are you going to Odense? -Yes, the police want to talk to me.

About William. My name was on his calendar.

They probably talk to everyone he's been in recent contact with.

-Didn't you know his father? -Yes,

a long time ago.

Gorm is a tough customer.

He didn't make all that money without making enemies.

But no one would want him to lose his son like that.

Who says he's dead?

He hasn't been found, so he could still be alive.

Let's hope so.

See you, Peter.

It's definitely William's car,

so we called off the search in the woods.

It's about time. I told you so.

We're checking the road the car took out of Odense.

We're doing our utmost.

Louise Bergstein is helping us.

She's a behavioral psychologist and has been a big help.

William's girlfriend mentioned you.

How is Elvira?

Not good.

She insists on staying in the apartment

in case William turns up.

It doesn't make any sense, but...

Is someone with her?

Her brother, but he isn't much use.

I want to inform you that I've hired some consultants.

That you wasted two days confirms my decision

and that my son's disappearance doesn't involve that serial killer.

-The two gentlemen...? -One is my lawyer.

And Mike is my negotiator.

He's English and experienced in kidnappings.

It's no secret that I'm rich.

This is a kidnapping. It's all about money.

-Have they made any demands? -Mike says it's a matter of time.

Kidnappers often wait a few days before contacting the family.

When a ransom is demanded,

only Mike will be in contact with the kidnappers.

I'll pay the full amount, and Mike will hand over the money.

This is only about one thing! To get William home in one piece.

We'll only involve the police

if you guarantee not to arrest the kidnappers.

I guarantee it.

Right. Good. We'll check it out.

Thanks. Bye.

Søren found a tip about the car

from a resident in a home for the learning disabled.

Thank you.

Hi, Illona.

I just wanted to see how you are.

You've always been so kind to come to Kasper's memorials.

So I hope you'll come this year too.

It's not just for Kasper, but for all three...

Would you like some juice?

Thanks.

There are glasses in the cupboard.

This is fine.

How do you know Louise?

Her mother was my best friend.

-And William and Markus? -They went to high school together.

He stayed for dinner and always sat on that chair right there.

Right there.

If you had the chance...

would you kill him?

What?

If you had the chance to kill your brother's murderer...

would you do it?

No.

Hi, Ellen.

My name is Karina

and I'm from the police. I'd like to ask you some questions.

Can you tell me about the car you saw

out on the road?

Hi, Ellen.

That's a nice one.

-Do you like cars? -My father sold cars.

Okay.

-What make of cars? -Mercedes, Vauxhall.

Do you remember telling Minna that you saw a car out here at night?

Do you remember the make?

It was an Aston Martin V8...

Vantage. Maybe from 2005.

It goes from zero to 100 in 4.8 seconds

and it's top speed is 288 km/h.

But he drove slowly.

In second gear. That's why I could see it so clearly.

Okay. Well remembered, Ellen.

Thank you.

He drove this way.

Why did he slow down?

He had to turn onto that narrow road.

Yes.

There.

-There it is! -Right.

He moved him.

Søren, we found the car but not William.

He must have been moved.

Johannes!

You can't go in there.

I need a screwdriver.

I'll get it later.

Why have you started locking it?

There have been break-ins in the area.

Let's go.

We have to leave now to make it to the match.

There are no other tire tracks.

But it's been raining a lot,

and he must have parked his car nearby and taken William somewhere.

We have to go door-to-door and ask if anyone's seen anything.

I think you should go home.

We'll be out here for hours.

-And you? When will you go home? -When we're done.

We agree that in principle William could still be alive.

Yes.

If that's the case, the perp took him somewhere he can be alone with him.

Talk to you later.

Alice.

Alice.

-What are you doing? -Tidying.

You and Kaj shouldn't be burdened with this mess.

And the furniture? Just sell it. Sell the pieces you don't want

or give them to charity. But not the desk.

Kaj loves that old piece of shit.

We found William's car.

It was in a village 30 km outside Odense.

And William?

Have you ever noticed that ugly fence out there?

It's so ugly!

Why the hell didn't I take it down years ago?

Are you hungry?

I can finish cooking dinner.

No.

Let's go out and celebrate my last day at work.

Did you resign?

Yes.

They just sat there gabbing away. I couldn't stand it, so I left.

Come, I know a place.

MOM

Sorry.

I tried to make it.

How did it go?

We won.

I scored four goals.

Cool! Congratulations.

Where were you?

I'm sorry.

Let's go out and celebrate your birthday.

Okay?

They make a hell of a good carbonara.

I hope so.

Markus was very fond of this place.

That explains it.

Then he got the crazy idea of celebrating his confirmation here.

I thought, "That's not a good idea." But it was his party, so why not?

So that's what we did.

David is coming next week for a few days.

-He can't wait to meet you. -The feeling is mutual.

Are you going to have kids?

I think he wants to.

But you are the one I asked.

Don't wait too long.

-I do realize that. -Sometimes I wish I started earlier.

Then I might have had another.

Are you afraid of having kids?

No.

Why should I be?

Because you had a horrible childhood.

I don't think I did.

Really?

What about those long periods of time when your dad was out of control?

Well...

luckily, he never hurt me.

And he didn't have to.

He hit your mother.

-You're still influenced by him. -Alice...

What's he like? This David guy?

-Is he just like your father? -Alice.

Can I top you up?

Hi, honey.

We found the car...

but not William.

Are the kids asleep?

The boys are.

Cecilie is at a party.

Where?

At her classmate Alvin's.

I have to pick her up in an hour.

Don't you want to take your coat off?

Nah.

I don't have to pick her up after all.

She's spending the night at Maja's.

What?

Let me see.

Pick her up.

Maja's mom has been told they're spending the night here.

They want to stay out all night.

I'm sorry, Louise. Sorry.

It's okay.

Do you think he took William because he knew Markus?

No. I doubt he knew that they knew each other.

William just caught his eye and all his fancy things provoked him.

He stole William's watch because it represented his fortune.

I don't get it. What's the use of having a worthless watch?

Hi, Elvira. Louise Bergstein. Do you remember me?

Yes.

I know it's late, but I'd like to ask you a few questions.

MOM

Happy birthday, sweetie!

Today is Johannes's birthday Hooray, hooray, hooray

He'll get all the presents He wished for

-Mom. -And hot chocolate and cakes

Sorry. I wish I could have sung for you this morning.

Did you and Dad have a nice day?

How did the match go?

-I scored four goals. -Really? That's awesome!

Did you get my present?

Do you like it?

GLS texted me to say they delivered it.

Did you get it?

I hope it was the right model.

William has...

a Patek Philippe.

And an Omega and a Rolex.

But he hardly ever wears them.

He always wears the one that was stolen.

What kind of watch is that?

It was a confirmation present.

It was his grandfather's watch.

It was old and not at all expensive.

William was just very fond of it.

So his grandfather had it engraved and gave it to him.

What did the engraving say?

The date. And...

"To William, my beloved grandson."

Sorry about the hour.

That's okay.

What's up?

I just talked to Elvira.

I wanted to hear her thoughts on what could have provoked the perp.

It's obviously money.

I don't think so.

Esben, the second victim, had lots of money he earned himself.

It wasn't the only thing the perp hated about him.

-What then? -Family.

Esben had siblings and parents who loved and supported him.

-Just like William. -Yes.

The stolen watch wasn't valuable, but it had sentimental value.

It was a gift from his grandfather.

A token of his love.

I think we should talk to Gorm again.

Yes.

What do you mean by "significant"?

It could be a house you lived in.

We've lived here since before William was born.

Perhaps a summer cottage.

We have two. One in Florida, one in the south of Spain.

Any place in Denmark you frequented?

No.

Vacations here are spent in hotels or at friends'.

There isn't any one place.

What about your company headquarters?

What?

-Where is your main office? -On a floor in a building in Odense.

Did you start Fjeldby Construction?

No,

my father did in 1962.

He only had two employees.

-Is your father's family from Funen? -Yes.

A few generations back.

We have to go.

Thanks for your time.

What?

The photo behind him was of an old farm and a windmill.

I'm sure I saw that farm earlier today near where we found the car.

I think this was the place.

That's the windmill from the picture.

Gorm, wait.

No.
