THE KILLING

DAY 1

MONDAY 3 NOVEMBER 6:30 A.M.

- What's up? - I thought I'd forgotten something.

I know you're worried. But it'll be great.

- I'll do my best... - I'm not worried.

I woke up, that's all.

- I can't wait. - To become a Swede?

- Impossible. - I'll never be Swedish.

- I can't wait to move in with you. - It'll be lovely.

I'll put some coffee on.

Lund speaking.

Round the back. A homeless guy found her.

The building is empty, and we're canvassing the front block.

- How old is she? - No idea. I've never seen the like.

I'm sorry it had to happen today of all days.

Hey! Turn the lights back on! Hey!

THANKS FOR 7 GREAT YEARS

If light beer and decomposed herring are your thing -

you're entitled to give them a try.

Sarah, the Stockholm force will really benefit from you.

Good luck in the lap of the enemy.

We will all miss you. And I mean the whole squad.

No, it was great. I'll tell you about it later.

- Have the movers come? - They've nearly finished.

I'll drop off the keys when I leave for my lecture.

- Did Mark lend a hand? - He went off to school.

Oh?

- Did he finish packing? - I packed the last few things.

I'll pick him up and we'll say goodbye to my mother.

- Can I help you? - Lund's office?

- Hang on... I'm Sarah Lund. - I'm Jan Meyer. The new DCI.

- I can wait outside. - No, come in. I've got to go, dear.

See you at the airport. Bye.

- Do you mind if I smoke? - No, that's okay.

- You're emigrating to Sweden? - Yes. My boyfriend is Swedish.

My son and I are moving there tonight.

My wife's sister did something similar.

She couldn't find anything in Copenhagen -

so she moved to Bornholm with a Bornholmer. Nice guy.

- But it didn't work out. - Why not?

Too remote. They went nuts.

- Where are you going to live? - Sigtuna. Very remote.

- You've met. - We've just had the pleasure.

- This just came in. Take a look? - Of course. I have plenty of time.

- Nice to meet you. Good luck. - Thanks. You too.

- Why not take Meyer with you? - Don't you want to unpack?

There's plenty of time for that. Let's catch some villains.

- Don't forget your farewell reception. - Right. Thanks.

What are you going to do in Stockholm?

- A bit of everything. - On an equal footing with them?

Yes, it'll be a partnership.

But you can't carry a gun or make arrests.

Only if I become a Swedish citizen.

So just what are you going to do?

A kindergarten on a picnic found them this morning.

- Blood? - Yes, but not much.

- Like a nose bleed or a cut throat? - Like a nose bleed.

- Who comes out here? - Kindergarten kids by day.

Hookers by night with their tricks.

- When was this stuff left here? - It wasn't here on Friday.

- No incidents reported? - Not to us or the hospitals.

- Any idea who she might be? - Only that she's a size 8.

We also found this.

A video hire card.

- Theis Birk Larsen. - It was some way from the clothes.

Perhaps they had a dispute and he threw her out of the car.

But she found her shoes and coat and purse and got back to the road.

- Have you searched the area? - For the last two hours. It's cold.

Check the man's name on the card and get back to me.

- Give my love to Sweden. - Why don't we check him out?

He left a hooker out here like that.

It's not our kind of case.

I know. I'd just like a word.

She didn't report it. No case.

It depends on how you ask him.

But if you're too busy...

- No. Let's check him out. - Great.

Bye. See you.

3000 for the truck plus the driver.

Of course not.

Fine, we'll be there tomorrow.

- It was all over the pavement. - You'll have to pay for it.

You've got to be joking. You left it in the way.

- What's going on? - He has no respect for things.

I paid a lot of money for these items.

- You got it from your cousin. - We'll knock it off the bill.

That's what we'll do.

Thanks, Theis. I'll fix a nice hamper for your family.

Why did you back that Paki up?

Chill, Vagn. Just because you can't spell falafel.

Of course I can. FA, that's fa, LAF, that's laf...

- It's me. - Come home.

- What's up? - Come home. Now.

I'm off home. Keep your shirts on.

What the hell did you do? The dishwasher!

Let me see...

- The duct tape came off. - No more duct tape.

- I'm calling the plumber. - No, you're not.

- No! Vagn will do it. - You've said that for three months.

There.

Now it's all set.

So call him.

No, you did a great job. Help me mop it up.

No! Don't!

We've got to talk about an apartment for Nanna.

You know how she feels about that little room.

I was thinking that we could find her a place somewhere around here.

We could put down the deposit.

- It might not be necessary. - Why not?

I'll tell you later.

- Theis, what are you up to? - Will you pick up the boys?

I've got to get the VAT returns in. Tell me.

- It's a surprise. - Just tell me.

Then it won't be a surprise.

- Theis? - Yes?

Nothing.

Let's go, guys.

- We need posters at the high school. - Catch him after the duel.

He's busy with the election campaign. Fine. Goodbye.

- Hasn't he arrived yet? - Not yet.

Industry House says he left there half an hour ago.

Keep trying to get hold of him.

I'll be right there.

The duel starts at 12:30. Rie says set off an hour before.

Half an hour. This one should have no yeast in.

Bremer is always late. We don't want to suck up to him.

- New shoes? - They've got special cushioning.

We'd better take a few notes. Guaranteed child care.

Garbage collection in Ørestad. Refurbishing city sports facilities.

Meetings about the new Education Act -

and inviting bids for your new shoes.

- Have you seen the latest figures? - And so has the mayor.

We're ready for the duel.

We've requested funds for inner city schools.

But the mayor cancelled the allocation.

- And now sick leave is up 20%. - We'll spring that on him today.

It'll show how arrogant he is.

- And spotlight our schools project. - Do we know it was him?

- I have the minutes of the meeting. - Once again about my diary.

- Don't make me look superficial. - It's my fault.

Maybe you could show up on time?

- I've lost my watch. - And I have a good excuse.

I had a word with the Centre Party.

This is off the record. But I think they want to play.

- An alliance? - The mayor is losing his backers.

- "I lost my watch!" - I did!

It was under my bed.

Mayor Bremer wants to see you.

- About what? - I don't know. ASAP.

- 15 minutes? - I thought you'd lost it.

That's fine.

That's what I'm saying.

You'll end up in his government.

I've got someone waiting. I'll call you. Okay. Bye.

- Sorry about that. - I don't mind.

Cicero would have gone far if he'd bided his time. Want to borrow it?

No thanks.

He tried to introduce the republic. But it was too soon.

The Romans still loved Caesar and thought Cicero was pushy.

They executed him.

And put his hands and head on display in the Forum.

- You wanted to see me? - You are doing well in the polls.

You'll make a really good mayor.

But not this time round. I retire in four years' time.

- Why not wait? - Why should I?

Let me tell you.

I have an offer you can't refuse. I'll cut you in on the big decisions.

It'll pave the way for you.

Four years from now you'll have no competition.

- That won't be necessary. - I'm just trying to be friendly.

I say what has to be said. You've been mayor for too long.

Lots of people think so.

If you mean the Centre Party, forget about them.

They flirt around. But they know where they belong.

- See you at the duel. - Yes, we can't get out of that.

Have you got item 711? Thank goodness.

No, I forgot. I'll be with you in ten minutes.

- Bye. - Hello.

I'm Jan Meyer, CID. Can we talk to Theis Birk Larsen?

- He's my husband. What's it about? - We just want a word.

He isn't in, and I'm off to the accountant's.

- Is he upstairs? - Is it about the trucks?

We just want to talk to him. What was he doing this weekend?

We went to the sea with our two sons. Friday to Sunday. Why?

He might have come back into town on business.

Not on his first weekend off for two years.

- What did he do when you got home? - He went to bed.

And you're quite sure?

I was there.

I don't know what you think he's done, and nor do I care.

- We were at the seaside. - We'll come back another day.

You have a daughter.

Yes. And two sons. Aged 6 and 7. Too young to be out at night.

Does she borrow her dad's video card?

- Maybe. Why do you ask? - Did she spend last night here?

Nanna spent the night at a girlfriend's from school.

I think you should call her now.

This is Nanna. I'm doing homework. Leave a message. Bye.

It's Lisa. Call me. Nanna, call me for Christ's sake.

Hello. Have you seen Nanna?

- No, why? - No reason.

Sit down. We're starting.

Today there's an opportunity to decide whom you'll vote for.

NANNA, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?

We live in a country with the right to vote.

Let's hear the questions you've prepared for the duel. Lisa?

Your three questions?

Can we hear them?

- I can't remember them. - Democracy is also a responsibility.

Excuse me... Is Nanna Birk Larsen here?

No.

Has anyone seen Nanna today?

Nanna's mother phoned.

- When did you talk to her? - Is anything wrong?

- The police are looking for her. - I haven't seen her since Friday.

Her mother said she spent the weekend at your house.

- You don't know where she is? - No, how could I?

If you talk to her, get her to phone home.

The electoral candidates need your classroom.

- Give me 10 minutes. - Get everyone into the hall on time.

Lisa, if you have any idea where she is, you've got to say so.

I have no idea.

Thanks. She isn't at school.

She'll be at Lisa's.

- They always... - Lisa is at school.

She says Nanna didn't stay at her place.

Where can she be? What's happened to her?

Nothing, we hope. We'll do our best to find her.

We'd like a photo.

I need everyone you can spare.

We're looking for 19-year-old Nanna Larsen, missing since Friday.

Bremer will talk about all the good he's done. Stick to a few subjects.

Sick leave at inner city schools is up by 20%.

Bremer refuses to allocate funds for maintenance.

Move in with me.

After the election...

All this secrecy is irritating.

I am looking after you. You are my job.

There would be votes in it.

"Adviser lucks out. Candidate head over heels."

- After the election. If you're ready. - I am ready now.

I know where you went this morning.

It's okay.

I just wish you could tell me.

I would like to. It's just...

I am ready.

The mayor is here. We can start.

I hope the Centre Party also loves your project for schools.

There are lots of good ideas in it. So many of them like your father's.

I see.

Not that they are old fashioned. They have his vigorous energy.

That comes from believing in a cause.

It's a shame he never made the grade. Lots of people agree on that.

That's the way it was. I intend to right that wrong.

Yes, you could do that. You are far more robust.

He was much more... How should I put it?

Fragile. Right?

- Here we go. - We have a problem.

Sarah Lund, CID.

- We can't cancel it now. - We must talk to her classmates.

She may just be skipping school. Telling them will cause panic.

Get them back into their classrooms. Ask them if they've seen her.

- Can we delay the start? - Of course.

- Impossible. My schedule is tight. - But the pupils and the press...

It's up to Troels Hartmann. I am just a guest.

- How serious is it? - Hopefully nothing is amiss.

But I am afraid it's serious.

- Right. We cancel. - Why?

Thank you.

- We can't talk politics like this. - No, we'll find another day.

Can we agree on a new date at once?

Call my secretary.

Troels, I've got good news for your inner city schools.

Sick leave is up by 20%. We can't have that, can we?

So I've allocated funds for maintenance. Happy?

See you!

Return to your classrooms. You'll all be told why.

Third-year pupils go that way. Lisa.

- Where are you going? - I have to get...

- I'm afraid Lisa left. - We'll catch her at home.

- What's your impression of Nanna? - A clever girl. Lots of drive.

She's the best in the class.

- There was a party on Friday? - A Halloween party.

Fancy dress and a band.

- What did Nanna come as? - There were ghosts and pumpkins.

So you don't remember.

- Does she have a boyfriend? - I've no idea. Ask Lisa.

Nanna? Oliver?

- Hello. - Have you seen Oliver?

- Isn't he at work? - No, and he wasn't at school.

Have you seen Nanna?

- Have a seat. - No!

Is Nanna with Oliver?

- How badly do you want to know? - Everyone's looking for her.

- They called the police. - What do you mean?

- Weren't you at school? - I had an assignment to do.

She's been missing since Friday. Where are they?

I talked to Oliver on Saturday. He borrowed his parents' house.

- Was Nanna there? - I think so.

I can't get hold of Theis. I've left 20 messages.

I have to hang up or he won't be able to call me.

- Mom, I got a Robo Monster. - No, you got Snake Devil.

Did Aunt Lotte give you them? Did you thank her?

Yes.

Any news?

Not yet.

Where's Nanna?

- Still at school. - We're meant to go swimming.

- Can you take us instead? - I'll take them.

Hi, Ruddi... Yes, where?

Okay, thanks.

- Theis' car is in Humbleby. - I'll call you.

- You say you've bought it? - Yes.

Pernille has no idea, so mum's the word.

- You can't live in the country. - It's two minutes from downtown.

We've been talking about it for ages. The firm's growing, and the kids.

Now the firm and family will be separated.

The boys will have their own rooms. Pernille will have a new kitchen.

And you see the window up there? The top floor is Nanna's.

With her own staircase and all.

- It must cost an arm and a leg. - It's an investment, Vagn.

I've got a big family.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

There'll be room for you, too. In the cellar.

You'll need extra income with all those expenses.

I can get 30 new B&O TVs. Flat screens. It's easy as pie.

- Are you in debt? Is that it? - Listen.

I've got buyers for half of them. I need a forklift, that's all.

Here. And forget the B&Os.

You don't have to do that. I'll pay you back, I promise.

They can't find Nanna. They found your video card...

Half the class wear those tops. It may not be hers at all.

And what about the video card?

Beats me.

There must be an explanation.

Did the police talk to Lisa?

- They can't find her. - And what about that jerk?

- Nanna isn't seeing Oliver anymore. - Have they talked to him?

I don't know.

- Where are you going? - I have an idea where she might be.

- I'm coming. - Stay here in case she comes.

Stay here!

Baby, take it easy.

She's fine. I'll find her and bring her home.

I'll drop you off at granny's. You've got your key, right?

- So we're not moving after all? - I have something to do first.

So have I.

I told you, Mom. Magnus' birthday party.

Mark, our plane is tonight. We decided ages ago.

And that's that.

You look like a moose with the mumps.

Mark, you'll love it. It's a great school.

- And I'll have more time for you. - He's not my father.

No, of course he isn't. He's found you an ice hockey club.

You must be sick of being the youngest at FCK.

- Yes? - KSF, actually.

- I am on my way. - KSF.

- Yes? - You get it wrong every time.

KSF? You've got your key, right?

- How positive is the trail? - Pretty positive.

The dogs followed the trail from the finding place to here.

We also found some hair caught on a bush.

- Where does it lead? - Here. Right here.

She zigzagged through the woods and ended up here.

What's around here?

There's a logging road up there. Perhaps she was picked up.

What about her cell phone?

There's no signal. We've fine-combed her route twice.

She isn't here. We're wasting time.

Did you hear me?

- Go over it again. - Did you hear what I said?

- Come in. - We have found more traces.

Where?

- Did you get hold of Bremer? - He's booked till after the election.

- And it suits him fine. - His office announced the new funds.

- While we were at the school. - How did he know about the 20%?

- Maybe he did his own survey. - With the same results, Morten?

You shouldn't have cancelled.

A girl is missing. I had no choice.

- It's Therese. - I'll call you back.

- No, we must meet. - Yes, but another day.

Someone is trying to dig up dirt on you.

A reporter called me. I can't explain it right now.

We have a fund-raising do later. You could come over.

Yes, of course. Bye.

Lisa? Where is Nanna? With that jerk?

- What floor? - I don't know where she is.

- She isn't up there. - I don't care who she's with.

I want to see her. Where is she?

Oliver's mom and dad are away. Maybe they went to their place.

Where is it?

The address, Lisa!

- Yes? - She's with Oliver.

- At his parents' place. - Are you sure?

I just talked to Lisa. I'll go get her.

- Are you sure she's there? - Of course I am.

I'll pick her up, okay? Don't worry, baby.

Goodbye, darling.

The helicopter, three forensic units...

- I hope you've found something. - A grave.

And you decided to leave me out of the loop?

- You were in a meeting. - I was at your reception.

Hang on a moment.

Have you found something?

- We'd better arrest the boy scouts. - It's nothing.

Pack up and come home. Give me a full report.

Say hello to Foxy.

Hello. Would you like a canapé? A glass of wine?

No, I'll be going right away.

- How's the ministry? - Fine.

- Your polls impress them. - So they should.

Tell me what happened. Did you get the reporter's name?

I wrote it down.

Great.

He asked about when I used to work for you.

He asked if you paid your hotel bills -

with your own credit card or the office's.

Did you buy many presents? Stuff like that.

I have nothing to hide. Let them ask away.

That's what I told him.

- But how come he knew so much? - What do you mean?

He seemed to have your diary.

He knew precisely where you had been and when.

I am not the one who's been talking.

I wouldn't think so.

But who can it be?

Hello.

- Troels, you have visitors. - Yes.

- I'd better be going. - Thanks.

Problems?

I don't know yet.

- Call her. Now. - What's up? Hey!

- Don't play dumb. Nanna! - Nanna isn't here.

Hey! Hey! Nanna's not here.

- Do you mind? - Oliver!

Nanna.

I told you she wasn't here.

Sorry.

Lund, we're all set to go.

It doesn't make sense. She was here.

Okay, but she isn't anymore. Let's go home.

- Hi, it's me. Are you coming? - Not quite yet.

How about a housewarming party on Saturday?

We could ask Lasse and Nissan and Bosse and Janne.

- And my parents and your mother. - Sure. Fine.

Your mother wants to fix up the guest room if you don't mind.

I'd prefer to have her sleep there rather than on the sofa...

What's on the other side?

- More woods. A waterway. - A waterway?

- Have you searched there? - She went the other way.

In the opposite direction.

I'm afraid we're going to miss the plane.

You catch it. I love you. Bye.

What the hell...?

It wasn't her.

So where is she?

I'll call the police. Maybe they have news.

Hang on a moment.

What is it? Theis?

- Are the police still out there? - I'll sort this out. Okay?

- Wait. What's going on? - What have they found?

Damn, her dad's coming.

- Let me through! - Theis! Theis!

I want to know what's going on.

Is that my daughter?

Is it?

Is that my daughter?

Theis, you can't stay.

Is it my daughter? Is it my daughter down there?

Is it?

Theis! Theis! Theis!

I want to see her.

Theis? Theis?

Please let me see her.

We have identified the owner of the vehicle.

You won't believe it, but it belongs to Troels Hartmann's campaign office.

- The politician? - Yes.
