Hold it, Holck! Drop the gun!

Jens Holck was killed this evening by one of our officers.

Evidence points to Holck being the perpetrator we've looked for.

I know what I said about the perpetrator's profile.

That there could be more victims you just haven't found yet.

I'll be cleared of all charges.

- Where is Rie? - I had to tell her the whole story.

- You could tell Morten, but not me? - Let me explain.

Troels, it's over.

Our most crucial task is to win the voters' confidence.

Say no to the truce.

Three years ago, I was appointed head of Holck's department.

You knew that Holck had an affair and that he had used our flat.

- Why the hell didn't you say so? - I told Bremer.

He would talk to Holck about it.

- It wasn't about business trips. - Let's go to your room.

- I didn't know she was married. - Piss off.

The police called. They found the killer.

- Theis, I... - It doesn't matter.

I've missed you.

Items were charged to Holck's bank account.

They were gifts for Nanna. And most likely the necklace.

The black heart we found in her hand.

I'd like to talk to you about your daughter Mette.

- It's 15 years ago. - Where did she get that necklace?

She bought it or was given it. Why do you come twice in one week?

What do you mean by twice in one week?

You talked to the father of one of the missing women.

- I wanted to prove I was right. - And you saw this.

Let's go back to the canal. I think there's more out there.

THE KILLING

The surprising apprehension of Jens Holck

ended last night in an exchange of fire in which Holck was killed

after taking an officer hostage.

Inspector Lennart Brix considers the Nanna case closed.

At Copenhagen town hall there are rumours of a truce...

The necklace looks exactly like the one in Nanna's hand.

Her father says it never turned up afterwards.

They found her bike. It's on one of the last pages.

It was found in a thicket on Frieslandsvej.

That's about 700 metres from where the car was recovered.

Holck studied abroad then.

It says so here. It can't be him.

The only evidence you have is the necklace.

- I know it's the same perpetrator. - We've already searched the canal.

We'll do it again.

MONDAY 17 NOVEMBER 8:18PM

The area is reclaimed.

80% of it is under sea level.

Here's the bridge. Where does the canal go?

The canals lead the drainage water to the seawater reservoir.

The bike from the old case was found here.

This whole area is interesting. What's that?

A drain line that flowed onto the old road.

What road?

It was closed down ten years ago.

This is where we look. Get divers out to all those canals.

- We need to drag the lake. - It can't be done.

We'll have to close down if people find out you're looking for a body.

Yes, that's the best thing to do. Shut down for 48 hours.

Wait a minute! We supply water to 150,000 households.

Hospitals and nursing homes.

- Meyer, will you take care of it? - Yes.

If the body's been there for 15 years, it can stay for another two weeks.

They never found a body.

Her bike was found close to where Nanna was found.

We have to search the canals. It's the same perpetrator.

OK. Send in the frogman corps.

The air force will supply F-16s. And I'll alert the UN and NATO.

Listen. Holck wasn't in the country then.

So the two cases aren't related.

I read Rosling's memo, but the case is solved.

Holck had an affair with Nanna. His prints were all over the flat.

They could be old.

Go home and relax.

And work things out with your boyfriend.

That's what you all want, isn't it?

For me to shut up.

Holck isn't the one who's watching me.

He's not the one who has been in my apartment, is he?

I must ask you to hand over your ID.

And the car keys.

You should get all the help you can.

Let's go. The action is called off.

We wouldn't have found anything after 15 years.

And anyway, he said they checked the bacteria level daily.

Why did she go to the flat?

She had something to look forward to.

She liked him. That's why she was happy.

Why didn't they go together?

He can't be seen in public with a 19-year-old.

- Do you think I'm crazy, too? - No, of course not.

I just know these things.

We have to check the old case.

1,700 people were questioned, I'm sure one of them recurs.

Brix has my ID, so you have to search the archives. Do it tonight.

- Check recurring names... - No, this ends here.

It's too far- fetched. It's just a theory.

I understand that you would feel bad if it wasn't Holck.

But you did the right thing.

It's not about that. The case is closed. It's over.

You're the only one who can't understand that.

You should talk to a psychologist or something.

Let me off here.

Stop it. Don't be immature.

- Calm down. - Let me out.

What are we doing here?

Stokke just told you that Bremer knew about it.

- Troels. - You can't overlook the facts.

Troels...

Thank you. It's big of you to run despite what you've been through.

No problem. Just a minute.

- I'm sorry I'm late. - I have to talk to you. Now.

You knew Holck transferred money to a civil servant.

Says who?

One of the civil servants?

They're busy washing their hands these days.

- You knew. - Of course I didn't know.

Troels, you have to keep your cool.

Obviously some of Holck's civil servants are red in the face.

So I'm conducting a closed hearing

with those responsible tomorrow.

Listen. You've been through hell. I can see why you're on your guard.

But Holck and perhaps some of his people have deceived us.

We have to clean up this mess together. OK?

OK. Good. Let's get cracking.

The exposure of Jens Holck has come as a great shock to us all.

The Moderates have lost their leading candidate.

My condolences.

But one person has borne the brunt of this tragedy

more than anyone else.

We have all witnessed the unreasonable accusations

that Troels Hartmann has been subjected to.

At the town hall we've declared a truce

for the rest of the election and we'll concentrate

on a loyal, broad and responsible partnership.

Henrik Frandsen is the new leader of the Moderates

and the acting mayor of the environmental department.

although it's important to move on, we mustn't forget...

You're the head of the finance committee.

- What? - You're head of the finance committee.

We'll talk about it later.

How could the committee not know that Holck authorised the money?

As Troels Hartmann says...

I'm afraid I can't be part of this.

If we declare a truce now

certain information will never see the light of day.

The lord mayor knows more about this case than he has told us.

- No further comments. - Can you elaborate?

- Yes. At a later date. - Do you think Bremer lied?

We need all our sponsors back.

Call them and explain. Then we'll see where we stand.

What about the media? They'll hound us for an explanation.

We'll send out a statement as soon as I've clarified things with Stokke.

Set up a meeting with him.

Can these boxes be removed? I can't stand looking at them.

- Stokke won't come forward. - I think he will.

- He wants to be anonymous. - We have to try.

I'll meet with him. We'll work it out.

Morten Weber.

- Did I remember to thank you? - You're welcome.

- I'm sorry about all the mess. - It's no fun.

I was impressed by the way you stole the limelight in front of the press.

Do you think...

Do you think you'd like to go out for a meal tonight?

No, thanks. I'll start writing the press release.

You'd better prepare what you want to say to Stokke.

OK.

That's settled then. Bye.

They say he had just been divorced.

He was our age.

I'm glad he's dead. I know it's wrong of me, but I am.

That was the estate agent. They're almost done with the house.

So I've set up a meeting with her tomorrow.

I'm sorry. What did you say?

The sooner we sell the house, the better.

By Christmas if we're lucky.

But we have to get a fair price.

It'll be fine.

Hello.

Hi.

Don't you recognise me? Amir.

- Amir El' Namen. - You're Karim's youngest.

- I've been in London. - You're getting married. Right?

- I suppose your father sent you over. - My father?

Your father promised us that we could stay in the flat as long as we like.

We can't move now. And I don't owe him anything.

That's not why I'm here.

Then why are you?

Why?

I wanted to ask you to move some things for me tomorrow.

Move what?

Things for the wedding. Just some tables and chairs.

You can't expect us to drop everything in the middle of the evening.

No. Of course not. I'll figure something out.

Hey!

- I'll try to find someone for you. - I'd prefer...

- I'd prefer you to do it. - Me? It doesn't matter.

- We're all capable of doing it. - But...

I'll pick you up at lunchtime tomorrow at the restaurant.

- You'll have to give me a hand. - Of course.

- Right. - Thank you.

What did you say to Bengt?

I told him to stay at a hotel.

I can't explain right now.

Hartmann accused Bremer

of having failed to disclose his knowledge of the case.

You said the case was closed.

I can't be part of this.

Your son has moved in with his father.

You've given Bengt the brush-off.

And you've never held me in any esteem.

I want an explanation.

Because it's important. Christ, don't you understand?

I talked to Birgit.

I'm going to stay with her for a few days.

OK. Are you taking the train? Because I need your car.

This is the second time you've called me on my night off.

Sit down.

It's the missing tape

from the CCTV camera at the town hall.

- How the hell did you get it? - It was on my doormat. Look.

- Is Holck seen leaving the town hall? - Half an hour later.

There's nothing we didn't know already.

Take a closer look.

We see him give her the key. She...

They make a date. Then she goes to the flat.

They don't make a date. Look.

Look at Holck's face. He isn't happy.

If Nanna had decided to see him again, why would he look so sad?

That doesn't mean he didn't go to the flat and kill her later.

Where is your mother?

You have to help me with this.

- If you have the slightest doubt... - I don't like this.

Someone delivers a tape.

- Someone has something to gain... - Or someone wants to help us.

I'm not asking you to jump through hoops.

Just tell the truth.

That you told Bremer about Holck using our flat.

- That's it. - I don't want to get involved.

You already are.

Do you think Bremer will reward you for keeping quiet?

Holck's reputation will stick. You'll be the first to go.

- Should I throw myself to the wolves? - You can overthrow Bremer.

Then he can't hurt you.

The lord mayor will never admit that we had that conversation.

There must be minutes.

I'm afraid it's not in the minutes.

What do you mean?

I took the minutes.

Bremer didn't want to make a mountain out of a molehill.

He wanted to discuss it with Holck. I'm sorry.

I've always thought you were the perfect successor.

If I come forward and Bremer is let off, I'm finished.

- Who would hire me? - Should Troels pay the price?

Fine.

Don't pressure Gert anymore.

If he won't do it, he won't do it. It's all right.

Thank you.

I have a copy of the minutes.

- Isn't it mentioned? - No.

It's mostly about planting trees on the boulevards.

- We should've pressured him more. - He was screwed by Bremer.

It says something about 13X. An appendix. Where is it?

It's probably documentation.

Do we know anyone in Holck's department?

- The fat woman... - Rita.

- Yes. Will you take care of it? - Of course.

We have to figure out a strategy for the media.

Otherwise Bremer is in control.

Sonne asked you to call her. Bremer wants to sue for libel.

Terrific.

People think that if you're deaf, you're good at lip reading.

Even the best lip readers read a third of what is said

with any certainty.

It's also important to know what the subject matter is.

But if anyone can, it would be Ditte.

Hi.

Sarah Lund from CID. Could you lip-read something for me?

Do you have a badge?

I forgot it today. It's not a big deal.

I can give you my card.

She came because he promised to give her a key.

She wants to pick up something she forgot

but he won't give her the key.

She doesn't want him to come.

She says, "I told you it's over".

Does she say what she forgot?

- She came to get her... - Her what?

- Do you want me to rewind it? - No. Let it play.

They went away for the weekend.

She says her passport is in a drawer in the flat.

Are you sure about that?

Her plane leaves tonight.

Her plane? Where to?

He asks her the same thing, but she asks for the key.

She says she's met someone else. Someone she loves very much.

Someone she's going away with.

He asks her where she's going.

And she says Paris.

But Paris...

- It isn't Paris. She's lying. - How do you know that?

She has shifty eyes.

Just like you had when you said you forgot your badge

and that it wasn't important.

Her plane was leaving that night. She lied about the destination.

- We haven't heard about a trip. - She took leave.

Of her parents and then at school.

And she gave the book to her teacher.

- Who was she going away with? - We don't know. Someone else.

Get all the passenger lists.

- I have nothing better to do. - Did you check the old case?

I'm in the middle of doing so.

- There's no link to Nanna's case. - No plan on travelling?

She had just moved to town. She was fixing up her flat.

Check the departures and find out who she was travelling with.

I think you should take the offer.

The market isn't very good.

And your financial situation could use some elbowroom.

Now that it's all over with, a clean break might be nice.

Of course it's not over with, but...

And when would they want to move in?

Hang on a minute.

What's the house like? Is it nice? Is there a garden?

- Why do you ask? - Would the boys like it?

She just told me that she found a buyer.

It's an opportunity.

We can cover our losses.

But if you've changed your mind...

No, no. Take the offer.

- Are you sure? - Yes. Absolutely.

We'll find some other place. It's fine.

- I told you everything I know. - Did she have a bag?

- It's been almost three weeks. - Would you stop that for a minute?

Please concentrate.

She might have had her wallet in some kind of bag.

What I meant was a travel bag.

No, she didn't have any.

- You're sure? - I didn't put anything in the trunk.

Did she tell you where she was going afterwards?

She asked to be driven to Grønningen.

Then we stopped by the town hall.

And that's it.

She didn't mention the airport?

I would have driven her there.

But now that you mention it...

- I think she asked me to wait. - To wait?

But it was a Friday. Payday.

There were plenty of customers, so I didn't.

Where did she want to go?

Maybe Copenhagen central station. I'm not sure.

If the box isn't emptied after three days

we remove the luggage.

- Give me the key and I'll find it. - I don't have the key.

That will cost you extra. What's the number?

I don't know. It's a travel bag. Handed in around 31st October.

- Is the bag yours? - Just tell me where to look.

I can't hand a bag over

without an exact description of it.

Sarah Lund, CID. You called us about a suspicious suitcase.

- Can I see your badge? - I'll find it myself.

- Stop it! - I'm here to help you.

I came on my day off.

If it's a problem, you can take it up with your boss.

Wait right here.

Do you have the passenger lists?

No. SAS is on strike. I'm on my way to the airport.

I found her travel bag.

- OK. Where? - Central station.

Any indications of where she's gone?

There's a sketch pad.

Swimsuit. Trainers.

Warm clothes. The price tags are on a lot of them.

- No indication of the companion? - No. I'll ask the Birk Larsens.

For Christ's sake, don't. Yesterday I told them the case was closed.

- I'll figure something out. - Lund, for fuck's sake!

- Hello? - Where are you?

- I'm on a job - The bank won't help us out.

What are you talking about?

Our accountant says we take out a loan in the company.

Why would we do that?

I'm over at the house right now. You haven't put curtains up.

- But otherwise it's nice. - I see. OK.

I'll call the estate agent and cancel the sale, baby.

- Are you sure? - We'll find a way to make it work.

Vagn is getting people to help us. He talked to Leon and some others.

It'll be fine.

If I bring the boys over this afternoon

can you come by?

If I can make it. But I won't be done till late.

- See you, baby. - Bye, dear.

- Is there something wrong? - Let's just go.

Rie Skovgaard. Hi.

No, just the appendix. I'll be right there.

- Any news? - Not good news.

Bremer demands a correction and denial, or he will sue you.

- Is that a fact? - Sonne is in your office.

It's our only chance if we want our donators back.

For me to deny it and look like a complete fool?

We can link it to the pressure you've been under since your arrest.

- Don't paint yourself into a corner. - Bremer knew I was innocent.

Can you prove it?

We're all sorry about what happened, but don't do this.

- You need friends after the election. - What do you want me to do?

Thanks.

What?

If you change your mind

we'll stop the libel suit and word won't get out.

Let's do this in the proper way. All right?

- See you in a minute. - Yes.

The hearing is soon. We need to have a plan.

- Hello! - Yes.

Tell Bremer that we'll work out a denial after the hearing.

- What's going on? - Nothing.

Sonne reminded me that we need someone to talk

to after the election.

No, I'll bring the boys with me.

All right? What? Food?

I'll pick up something. See you at the house. Bye.

Hi, Pernille.

Is it a bad time?

Sorry about barging in like this.

We need to number the evidence in the case.

I'd like to go through Nanna's things once more.

- It's just a formality. - Meyer said you were off the case.

Today is my last day.

This is just a detail. Is this a bad time for you?

No, but most of it is in boxes, and I'm on my way out.

I promise to be quick.

OK.

I can do it on my own. I mean, if you're in a hurry...

OK.

- But lock the door behind you. - I will.

Who's in the picture?

The girl is Nanna, isn't it?

Who's the other one?

- Who's the boy? - You said it was closed.

Who is it?

Nanna's childhood sweetheart. Amir.

Nanna did not take off from Kastrup, but her name was in a database.

She booked a ticket from Malmo, Sweden to Berlin.

Friday at 1:50am.

Apart from her, there was another passenger

who didn't make the flight.

He lives two houses down from Nanna.

Amir El' Namen. He's moving and using Birk Larsen's company.

Moving? Where are you?

Close to the station. Come down

- Meyer? - I haven't seen her.

Birk Larsen just called. Where is Lund?

- I call later and explain. - No.

Tell me where she is.

Nanna was headed for Berlin with someone.

I don't give a shit. Some luggage has been reported stolen.

Drop your misguided loyalty and tell me where she is.

Holck didn't know Nanna would leave from Malmo

so he went to Kastrup.

It's from airport security. He's in plenty of the pictures.

Look. He's right there.

You're welcome to check it.

So I'll call you later then.

How is your father doing?

You can tell him...

...that he can take over the flat soon.

- You were in London, right? - I was in school.

- It was my father's idea. - Did you just get back?

No. During the summer.

I remember that the two of you used to play together.

You and Nanna.

Did you attend the youth club, too?

Did you talk to her when you got back?

This must be it.

Number 74. Is this it?

Amir, is this where we pick up the things for your wedding?

There isn't going to be a wedding. It's been cancelled.

Then what?

- I wish that... - That what?

That what?

Amir!

- Is it recording? - Yes.

Hi, Mum and Dad.

Hi, Anton and Emil, the world's best Teletubbies.

When you watch this, it'll be Monday and you think I'm in school.

I understand if you're mad at me but don't worry.

I love you all very much, and I'm fine.

I'm with Amir.

We met when he came home this summer.

although three years had passed, it felt like yesterday.

We've always loved each other.

Mum, I think you knew.

Amir knows someone we can stay with.

I don't know how long we'll be away

but till things calm down.

I want you to know that I've never been happier.

I hope you can forgive me.

I think you can since you ran away together yourselves.

See you, Mum and Dad.

Teletubbies, I love you.

I'll call you soon.

The next person is head of administration Gert Stokke.

Good evening, Gert.

- Come in and have a seat. - Thank you.

As you know

we're thoroughly investigating Holck's department.

I hope that you can shed some light on this case.

As you can see from the documents, I had a conversation with Holck.

I tried to get him to understand that something was completely wrong.

But at that point he seemed to be beyond reach.

Did you take any further steps?

No. Apart from bringing it up with him at a later date.

But in hindsight I probably should have informed someone.

But Jens could be convincing.

We've all learned that to our cost.

Yes. As far as I can see, you did what you could.

I don't have further questions. I don't know if anyone else does.

So thank you, Gert.

I have a question if you don't mind.

Just so we're clear about things.

You never told anyone about Holck's actions?

Yes, that's correct.

I'd like to hand out some documents.

These are the minutes from a meeting between Gert Stokke and Bremer.

They discussed planting trees. There are references to appendices

that all are enclosed.

With the exception of one.

Appendix 13X, which must have been mislaid.

But I was lucky enough

to find a copy of appendix 13X

which the head of administration had hidden in a safe place.

Could you be so kind as to pass these around?

The head of administration will find

that it's about his account given to the lord mayor

of what he calls worrying conditions in Holck's administration.

For example, 5,000 kroner a month to a civil servant in my department.

Apparently, appendix 13X was never a part of the official minutes.

But here it is.

And it shows that the lord mayor

knew long before the rest of us about Holck's misconduct in office.

Would the lord mayor like to comment?

No?

Thanks for the hearing.

Send out a press release.

And get the appendix to the legal department.

You told Stokke you wouldn't use him.

- Stokke got what he deserved. - I had to lay down a smokescreen.

- We can't be underhanded. - Don't you want to win?

- You didn't tell me about it. - You're my campaign leader.

You're not my adviser.

- Did you think it was wrong of me? - No. Just the way you went about it.

- What do you mean? - You enjoyed it.

I did what I had to do.

We'll send out a press release.

But I have time for an interview.

OK.

Yes, that's correct. I want to win the election on my own.

The rest can tag along if they want to.

But I set the agenda.

Thanks.

Amir got his car after having been at Birk Larsen's.

But he hasn't been seen since.

Not even his brothers have seen him.

- His dad's restaurant? - Not likely. The cemetery?

Forget about it. It's being patrolled. Yes, speaking.

Thanks.

His phone was registered by a tower near Tårnby.

I know where he is.

Amir El' Namen?

- CID. - You're not a suspect.

Witnesses saw you at the airport in Malmo that night.

There's something I need to know.

Who knew you were leaving?

No one.

Someone must have. Someone who kept an eye on Nanna

or saw you together.

Think.

Someone saw us

- but he couldn't have known. - Who saw you?

It was when I picked her up

to take our luggage to the central station.

He got out of a car. I didn't get a good look at him.

- What did you see? - Just a red uniform.

- But he couldn't have known. - A red uniform? What do you mean?

Her father's company. Their working clothes.

An officer will drive you home.

The team is on their way. I expect results.

- And the water supply? - They'll close it down for 24 hours.

- What did the boy say? - We're looking for a mover.

- That's the link. - The link to what?

To the old case. Mette had just moved.

Nanna's family are movers. We're looking for a mover.

Great. Sometime after work.

Yes. Don't do anything till you hear from me.

Hi. What's going on?

The police have been here all afternoon.

I talked to our replacements.

And I called Leon and told him we need him.

- Hi, Leon. - Hi.

Go upstairs. I'll deal with him.

- Why didn't you come earlier? - I'm stressed.

The owner is giving me a bad time. He wants me to take more shifts.

We've always been there for you. And now Theis needs help.

Go in and get changed. We have a trip to Forum tonight.

All right, all right.
