Original subtitles

Kemal is innocent. Tell me where Theis is.

A drug dealer was killed. They were sure Theis did it.

I'm at their warehouse, and the lights are on.

- Sit up! - Theis!

Theis.

This is your fault as well.

If you don't find a clear lead, you're both off the case.

And stay away from the town hall and Troels Hartmann.

The inspector confirmed that the teacher is innocent.

I understand you're disappointed, but it can solidify your position.

- Don't give up. - I'm not.

Either step down, or we vote on it.

- That goes for you too. - I'm loyal.

I know you supported Bigum.

You'll be criticised for being disloyal.

- And my other choice? - Step down.

Call a meeting.

- They all support Bremer. - Not if they read the polls.

The prosecution will charge you

with attempted manslaughter and grievous bodily harm.

I just want to go home. I'm detained in custody.

The murder 20 years ago... Did Theis commit it?

He didn't do anything.

You know that the girl was found in the car that the perp drove.

- The car is your best lead. - We missed something.

According to the log, the tank was almost empty.

Now it's full.

If you'd look up the name of the gas company

I'll leave you alone.

There was a charge card.

On 31 October at 7:21 p.m. it was used.

- I know who it is. - It's the Mayor of Education's car.

After I filled it up, I drove it to the parking structure across the street.

THE KILLING

I parked the car here at 7:30 p.m.

- You're quite sure? - Indeed.

I hung the keys up in the guard room, and then I decided to go home.

Who has access to the guard room?

Not many people. But there was a party that night.

- What party - A poster party.

The election is always launched with a party when the posters are ready.

- Fine. Wait there. - Yes.

There was a party. Anyone could have taken the keys.

- Get the surveillance tapes. - That one is hopeless.

TUESDAY 11 NOVEMBER 8:27 P.M.

The surveillance tapes are missing

but at 7:55 p.m. this happened.

- I see some balloons. - Look at the background.

A man. About 6 ft. 2 ins.

At this point in time, Nanna is still at the party.

Later she stops by her teacher's, and then she meets this man.

Somewhere.

- Just because it's a black van... - The license plate.

It's the car Nanna was found in.

We wasted our time at the school.

- Someone knew the car was returned. - We've been had.

We can rule out Troels Hartmann and his staff. We've checked them.

She had an affair with someone who gave her expensive gifts.

- Someone she met with. - Who knows about this?

Only the three of us. We haven't set anything in motion.

But we...

It's Buchard. Sorry to bother you.

- Is he calling his wife? - What's that?

Do you think it's his wife?

Check the guards' schedules and records. I want everything.

- Why? - It isn't a guard.

It looks more like someone much higher in...

- It's already been checked. - Checked by whom?

- Get going on the guards. - Who did you call?

- None of your business. - This doesn't make sense!

What the hell are you talking about? I want to know what's going on.

Come with me. No, not you.

What's going on?

When I say they're not involved, then they're not involved.

I want this solved as much as you do, so focus.

Lund, this just came for you.

- Lund? - Thanks.

What's up? What did he say?

When we checked Nanna's cell phone, did we get the complete list?

It's not someone at the town hall.

- Would you check it again? - I already did!

What did Buchard say?

What?

- This is Sarah Lund. - Dorte Green, Radio Denmark.

- I don't have time for this. - I'm doing a program on the election.

No comment. You'll have to call our...

The town hall has been focused on, and the murder hasn't been solved...

- What is it? - Hello?

- Are you there? - What did Buchard say?

- Where are you going? - Keep me informed.

What did he say?

Bengt.

It's because something came up. Can we talk about it in the car?

I understand why you don't want to stay with my mother.

We can go to a hotel.

Maybe we rushed things a bit. In moving to Sweden.

No, what do you mean? No, I want to...

I want...

I want you to stay.

Please stay.

We'll wait and see.

Take care.

- Hello? - This is Meyer.

- Are you there? - Yes.

I checked her cell phone.

The technicians had found 53 numbers in her phonebook.

We were only given 52.

- Can this wait? - I found a list of calls.

I compared it to the data on her phone.

Someone crossed out calls on the list.

And here's the worst part.

The first person to review the lists and the phone was Buchard.

- That can't be right. - It is. I'm sure of it.

Lund, I don't like this.

If Buchard is covering for someone, it must be that politician.

Hello?

Lund, are you there? Hello?

We represent five parties with very different politics.

If we look at the last election and add up our votes

we would have had a strong majority.

That's all I'm saying. A strong majority.

The polls indicate that the same would be the case this time.

The mayor is busy defending the way he discredited me on TV.

I bore the brunt that time.

But in fact, he makes all of us feel uneasy. Doesn't he?

I propose that we enter into a broad alliance against Bremer.

That sounds nice, but what do the five of us have in common?

Plenty. Education, housing and the environment.

What about integration? You'll do anything for your role models.

- We're miles apart on that issue. - My group won't go along with it.

Leif, how does your group feel

about Bremer not having reduced CO2 levels?

What has he done for the elderly?

Isn't that still a key issue for you?

Bistrup, did he create jobs like he promised?

Jens, you once believed the city should attract families with children.

What happened to all that?

I've drawn up a draft

of a collaboration between the five of us.

Obviously, it's only a draft.

And obviously, it is up for discussion,

but I sincerely hope you will consider it.

I realise it's a great challenge. I realise that.

But if we don't do something now, Bremer's ship will come in.

I think Bremer's done a good job.

So do I.

He was the right man for the job 12 years ago.

- It works. Give him four more years. - Works? Nothing works.

You have wind in your sails, but don't let it get to your head.

You haven't proven that you can be a good mayor.

Fair enough. Let's see who we will nominate.

You're on a bad footing with parliament.

The mayor's primary job is to negotiate the municipality's budget.

I have difficulty seeing you doing a better job than Bremer.

With an alliance behind me, I'd have the ability...

I don't believe in you.

- Won't you look at the proposal? - I already have.

Sorry. Without Jens we won't get anywhere, will we?

Thank you for a nice evening.

Jens?

Got a minute?

- Have you started again? - Yes, it's a filthy habit.

- Didn't I express myself clearly? - Yes, but perhaps I didn't.

Listen...

You know as well as I do that we have to do something.

Bremer's administration is a mess. His budgets aren't in order.

He only listens to himself.

We know something has to be done, but no one does anything.

Maybe the alternative is hard to fathom.

Have you heard about his trip to Latvia?

Yes, what about it?

Officially, it was a visit to a company.

But the expense account was red-hot.

- We have looked at the bills. - They were flattered.

I don't care if he spent too much. He has always worked like a horse.

- In spite of our miserable salaries. - So he should continue?

No, but you have a terrible relationship with parliament.

That's the crux of the matter.

Think about whether you're doing this for Copenhagen or for yourself.

- He's right about parliament. - Plus there's the murder case.

- We aren't involved in it anymore. - Use what you have on Bremer.

I'm not that kind of politician.

You won't get anywhere with Jens Holck.

- He's Bremer's lapdog. - He just needs the right bone.

Could we have something to eat?

I could tell they were interested.

We need to get Holck on our side.

- If it doesn't work, we're alone. - And if it does, we're strong.

Call your father about the Interior Secretary.

- I'd prefer to visit him. - Do that. I'll go with you. No.

Bring some good wine. We have a box with a ribbon on it.

- Did he give it to us? - He can't remember anyway.

I didn't get it from him.

The parking structure is full of police.

- Why? - I don't know.

Sorry to bother you at work.

It's okay.

- Mum has the boys. - I talked to her.

Have you heard from Theis? When is he coming home?

The lawyer is doing her best. Vagn turned himself in.

Charlotte, did Nanna say anything about...

You were very close, and she told you everything.

You talked about everything.

Is there something she told you that she hasn't told me?

Did she say that there were problems at home?

Did she say anything about us? Or about her and Theis?

- No. - No.

It's probably nothing. It's just me.

She was daddy's girl.

It's as if something happened last summer between her and Theis.

All of a sudden they didn't do things together.

It was as if there was something she wasn't telling me.

Well...

He thought it was too early for her to move out.

And she was upset about it.

There's nothing odd about that.

Maybe you shouldn't think about what the police say about Theis.

He was a good father.

Even though he's done something stupid.

I have to go downstairs.

I'll come by tomorrow and help you with whatever you need.

Come.

Hello?

Step away from the door.

Okay then.

What do you want?

- My lawyer was supposed to call. - No one has called.

She was going to tell the police that I didn't have to be in custody.

You'll have to wait till tomorrow.

Can my wife visit me?

- No. - I have to...

Hold it right there, buddy.

I'll find out tomorrow morning.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

DAY 10

WEDNESDAY 12 NOVEMBER 8:14 A.M.

Thank you.

Nanna didn't have work experience at the town hall.

There's nothing to link her to the place.

I went through her things.

There's nothing new. Just the two keys.

The Ruko keys we found in her jacket.

The keys aren't to a public building because they keep records of them.

Do you think you can enhance the picture to get an ID?

I've been thinking about that.

I don't want any part of it.

If Buchard says it's been checked, then it has.

- You don't believe that. - I won't discuss it with you.

- He's coming. - You wanted to talk to me?

- I'm sorry about yesterday. - No problem.

- As long as we're making progress. - We are.

Nanna's cell phone.

Who checked the phonebook and list of calls?

I don't know.

Something could point to one of the guards.

- Then check it out. - I will.

I spoke to a taxi driver who thinks Nanna was a customer.

- He's in the incident room. - Thanks.

- I'm not positive it's her. - Tell us what you remember.

I drive a taxi on weekends.

I picked her up on a Friday.

If it was her.

- Then what? - We drove and talked a bit.

She wanted to go downtown. I dropped her off at Grønningen.

- Do you have a receipt? - Sure.

I'm sure this is the one. I picked her up near Ryparken.

From 10:27 to 10:45 p.m.

What happened at Grønningen?

She paid, and I got a new customer. Plenty of work on Fridays.

So why do you remember her?

We made a stop.

Right by the back entrance to the town hall.

- What happened there? - She got out.

She asked me to wait. I don't normally do that.

But she was a nice girl.

- Why the stop? - I don't know.

She went inside and was gone for a few minutes.

- Did you see her with anyone? - No.

I can't promise it was her.

A statement must be taken.

Someone will come for you.

- There are many hotels there. - We've checked them all.

Check again.

Have they seen a politician? Does one live nearby?

- Are you busy with the guards? - I certainly am.

The taxi took her from near Kemal's house to the town hall.

He said he wasn't sure it was her.

I have an appointment. You can reach me on my cell.

The Interior Secretary is on board.

The problem is the Prime Minister.

- He thinks you steal his limelight. - At least the polls are good.

If the Interior Secretary is on board...

That's only if the Prime Minister will allow it.

It's ridiculous that we're in the same party, and yet they back Bremer.

There is one possibility.

The Prime Minister is watching you.

He'd like some of your success.

He's behind the times in integration.

If we let it be known that their office was in on the role model program...

If they get credit, the Prime Minister might give you a leg up.

- No way! Out of the question. - Okay.

What would we get in return, if we were to...?

We can suggest he come to your election meetings.

In the long run, it could help carry out your policy.

But the most important thing is to get Holck in the alliance.

Find out exactly what we can expect in return.

Then make an appointment with the PM's office.

If it can help realise our ideas

who the hell cares who gets credit for it?

Anything new on what the police were up to in the parking structure?

No. Nothing.

- How long will they keep him? - It hasn't been decided yet.

But you can visit him today.

Thanks. I appreciate it. Bye.

Sorry.

We agree that the house goes on the market,

yet you continue renovations.

Good.

We'll extend your credit, so you don't have to pay installments.

Let's hope that the house will be sold quickly, so we reach breakeven.

Then there's the account Nanna opened in Anton and Emil's names.

- Where should the money go? - What account?

There's 11,000 in it.

Where should I put the mail?

Just give it to me. Thanks.

- What kind of account is it? - It's a savings account for the boys.

- May I see? - Of course.

- Where did she get the money? - From a job.

She didn't have one. She worked for us, but not for this amount.

- When was it opened? - In January.

Money was regularly deposited, but it stopped last summer.

But you don't have to make a decision right now.

Goodbye. Thank you for seeing me.

Thank you.

How are the boys?

Fine.

I spoke to the lawyer. She's doing everything in her power.

I have spoken to her as well.

When I get out, I'll take care of the bank and the house.

I'll work it out.

Did something happen between you and Nanna last summer?

You used to...

Did you have an argument? Did you say something to her?

What do you mean?

She opened an account in the boys' names and made regular deposits.

- She had a job. - Yes, at our firm.

- 11,000. - I may have paid her extra.

- Or she saved it up. - Yes.

But why keep it a secret?

I don't know.

- She didn't say anything? - No.

All I know is that she was angry with me,

because I thought it was too early to move out.

I may have paid her extra...

...just to cheer her up again.

Yes.

Apart from that, I don't know.

Everything will be okay.

The film starts at the poster party.

I'm only interested in October 31.

- What do I get out of this? - Nothing.

I can get in a warrant in five minutes.

I'd like to help you, and perhaps you can help me.

You'll get the story if I find what I need.

- What are you looking for? - The footage from 7 to 8 p.m.

During that time they were all in Hartmann's office.

They're having fun. Hartmann invited them for a drink.

Is there anything of interest?

Hartmann gives a short speech.

- Who is that? - Holck. Leader of the Moderates.

Is he there all night?

Then why does he have his coat on?

- Do you have more footage of him? - Why do you ask?

I can't see him.

At one point I went to his office.

- No, he's not there. - You have nothing from later on?

- I thought he... - What do you know about him?

Holck has been in politics for years. A quiet man.

Rumour has it that he had an affair.

- An affair? - He's getting divorced.

He's not been himself, but it could be a rumour.

The car left at 7:55 p.m.

Jens Holck disappeared 15 minutes before and hasn't been seen since.

- Buchard is asking for you. - Does Holck live near Grønningen?

I couldn't care less.

People are talking about an affair.

Should we inquire at the town hall? Give it up.

Did I tell that Buchard is asking for you? And are you listening?

- Get hold of Holck. - He turned his cell off.

We need to talk to him before the debate.

- Troels, let's talk before tonight. - I don't have time.

Aren't you busy defending yourself to the press?

I'm in the lead regarding space in the papers.

Can we stop early tonight? I'm going to be on the news.

- Be careful what you say. - I assume the others won't mind.

We'll do that then. Okay.

- Don't forget to tell the others. - Of course.

I told Holck.

If you're looking for him, he's in the canteen.

Today's special is really good. See you tonight.

See you.

That's fine. Bye.

That was Holck. He's coming now.

Today's special is really good.

I talked to the Prime Minister.

He asked if he should come to some of my election meetings.

Look at this.

See.

I have several public meetings with him until election day.

I doubt he's coming to kick my ass in public.

If the PM wants to play with me, so does the Interior Secretary.

I hope that answers your question about me negotiating the budget.

It doesn't change anything.

- You said... - I know what I said.

But I have to talk to my group first.

- Your group has always backed you. - I'm a bit busy.

- Why doesn't it matter that...? - Troels...

- Why doesn't it matter...? - Troels.

Hang on.

- What? What? - He was on the trip to Latvia.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

A source on the finance committee confirmed it.

I guess we're about done anyway.

Jens, I have always thought you were a good politician.

If it's because you have...

If you can't abandon Bremer, because he...

It doesn't matter.

You'll figure out what's the right thing to do.

I'm afraid I've done something stupid.

It hasn't been easy.

Lately.

With the divorce and...

I understand. Anyone can make a mistake.

But...

It's important to get yourself back on course as soon as possible.

I need some more time to think about it.

- Can we talk about it tonight? - By all means.

Good.

- Bye, Rie. - See you later.

- Just two minutes. - Does your boss know you're here?

- I just want to apologise. - You caused us many problems.

- We have a guest. - Do you have two minutes?

- I want to set the record straight. - You get 30 seconds. I have to go.

What do you want?

- I want to apologise... - You're not here to apologise, are you?

- I need your help. - Yes?

Citizens can consult me every Monday.

What if I say your car wasn't at the school?

Then I'd say you messed up again.

What if I say it was driven back to your parking structure?

On Friday, 31 October, you held a get-together for the party leaders.

- What is this about? - Did anyone leave early?

Was it driven back here?

Could I speak to Buchard, please?

Jens Holck. Did he leave early that night?

- One of your employees is here... - Did you see him later?

- What about Holck? - Did you see him later that evening?

Your boss wants to talk to you.

Yes.

Are you coming?

Lund starts her new job tomorrow, so Meyer is leading the investigation.

Svendsen, you're Meyer's assistant. That'll be all.

I've informed the Swedish police that you're ready.

I refrained from telling them about your recent cock-up.

Thanks very much.

I'm sorry it had to end this way.

There was nothing on Grønningen, and nothing on Holck.

There's a shipment for you from Sweden. You have to sign for it.

HASSE'S MOVERS

A technician is waiting for me, so...

Keep the pack.

- Hi, Theis. - Hi. What's up?

Vagn was questioned and confirmed that he incited you to self-redress.

- It isn't true. - No, but it's to your advantage.

I argued that you're not a flight risk, and that you've suffered enough.

What does that mean?

That you're free to go.

On the condition that you stay in town

and under no circumstances will you interfere in the case.

For your own and your family's sake, you should keep a low profile.

You're free to go. You can get your clothes and effects.

- Thank you. - Take care.

You too.

- Hi. - Hi.

I'm going to pick him up.

What about the boys? Do they go straight to bed?

- Or is there time for some candy? - Are we having candy?

- I'm glad he's coming home. - No candy till after your bath.

Off you go.

- I want my duck. - Your rubber duck.

Here I am! I want a bath too!

How long did she work where you work?

When did she start working there?

In January.

Only as a temp.

She quit last summer.

She didn't plan to. She came to visit

and thought it was an exciting place.

I didn't see anything wrong with it.

What happened last summer?

Maybe you should talk to Theis.

- I think you should talk to Theis. - Charlotte, what happened?

She...

She liked the job.

And then she started seeing someone. A man.

Who?

Someone she met there.

I don't know who it was.

She wouldn't tell me.

Did he give her money?

- Why do you ask? - Just answer.

Did he give her money?

I don't think so.

I think she was in love with him.

She began to come late for her shifts

and one day...

...she didn't turn up at all.

I was rather worried, so I...

So I called Theis.

I'm sorry.

We found her in a hotel room

and she had had way too much to drink.

Theis drove her to the emergency ward.

She promised she would stop seeing him.

She promised Theis...

I'm sorry, Pernille.

I want you to leave now.

Listen. She said the car was driven back to the town hall.

If it was important, we would have heard.

That's why the police were in the parking structure.

What were they doing?

That's all I know.

- Why are they interested in Holck? - We want to know if he's with us.

- Or if I'm getting into trouble again. - Stop it.

- Focus. This is important. - I have to know...

Hi.

Welcome.

It's good to fish in troubled waters. Did you catch anything today?

Hi. Welcome.

- Hello, old friend. Have a seat. - No thanks.

Is this seat free?

Yes, of course.

- Meyer. - I need your help.

I wanted to tell you that you were wrong about Holck.

He drove off in his own car that night.

Did you check for apartments belonging to parties at Grønningen?

Yes, there weren't any. Or any politicians living nearby.

The Liberals have an office on Store Kongensgade.

- Where on Store Kongensgade? - What are you up to?

130 Store Kongensgade. 5th floor. Why?

It doesn't matter. We've already checked Hartmann out.

Stop right there.

What was that? It looked like a flash of light.

Rewind slowly.

One more frame. Stop.

Who the hell is that?

- Can you enhance it? - I can try.

Meyer here. We're about to find out who's in the car.

I think it's Troels Hartmann.

Why do you think so? What the hell are you talking about?

Lund, where are you?

Lund?

What's going on? Talk to me!

Bring the technicians and meet me here.
