The police are searching for Robert Zeuthen's nine-year-old daughter, Emilie

who disappeared earlier this evening from her home.

What are you doing to find her?

- Sarah Lund. Who is this? - The girl's all right.

I'm collecting on a debt.

I have a suggestion. A life for a life.

- I'll get Zeuthen, you'll get the girl. - Prepare Zeuthen.

What happened was horrible, but Robert Zeuthen is not to blame.

Zeeland had the case closed. Zeuthen is responsible.

- Why risk it all to protect the sailors? - You can ask Zeuthen that.

- Dad! - Emilie!

No!

Zeuthen, no!

Robert, I don't know how to express...

They've located her, and they're expecting to bring her up soon.

The clothes weren't black but dark blue.

She called out to me, and I replied.

At first I couldn't see her, but she was looking up at me.

I could see that she was afraid.

Did you or didn't you have a meeting with that public prosecutor?

What did you talk about?

I wanted to make sure everything was done properly. Zeeland were mentioned.

You've withheld information that could have helped the police solve the case.

- Look at me when I'm talking to you! - They say that she's been killed.

I have decided to resign as Prime Minister.

You've been in charge so long

the skeletons are jumping out of the cupboard.

- Let's hope you can do better then. - We have to win the election first.

Look at this. Watch it to the end. You can go home and give up afterwards.

The public prosecutor had another meeting that day.

Regarding Emilie Zeuthen's death and what happened last night,

- did you feel properly covered? - You want rid of Brix.

Zeuthen is not just anybody, and the government stands to fall on this.

The perp listened to you. You made him think twice.

- I saw him shoot her. - Where was she, and where was he?

- What the hell are we looking for? - Move away from there.

THE KILLING III

Describe the car to the local police and tell them to have men ready for us.

We suspect the perp is either on his way there or there already.

And get Brix to call me as soon as the meeting ends.

- When will we be there? - We've only just crossed the bridge.

A red van was stolen around Copenhagen harbour this morning,

in the same area as the perp's boat was found.

As long as she's missing, she may still be alive.

Where do you know Borch from?

We went to the academy together. He started a year after me.

Were you a couple?

A red van was stolen around Copenhagen harbour,

in the same area as the perp's boat was found.

What can you tell me about the town?

Disused industrial harbour which Zeeland ran,

until they pulled the plug a few years ago.

2,000 inhabitants. They take pride in being located furthest to the west.

- Why didn't you wake me up? - Can I have some of those crisps?

You needed to sleep.

The last time I dozed with you driving, I woke up with back pain in some lay-by.

The signposting was terrible in Norway.

And you didn't get your back pain from sleeping. No, you didn't.

- What were you guys doing in Norway? - I'll call home to say goodnight.

- Where's the rest of the men? - We'd like to help,

but no one at HQ could confirm that any search had been ordered.

Hi, good to see you again.

We're looking for a perp and Emilie Zeuthen.

We need to instigate a search.

HQ believes the perp has killed the girl and escaped abroad.

- It concerns a red van, registration... - I haven't seen anything.

As you can see, the traffic is fairly manageable out here.

He wants to find out what happened to the girl who was found in the harbour.

- You can wait in the boarding house. - I'll work things out with HQ.

Call in as many men as possible from the surrounding districts.

- Why wasn't HQ informed? - I don't know, but I'll handle it.

I've opposed the foolish cutbacks,

that management have made in the last six months.

This is their chance to get rid of me, as you very well know.

- So, this is ridiculous. - I'm not part of management.

- I'm just doing my job. - So am I.

A few districts in Jutland have called, and that guy Borch from Special Branch...

Excuse me, Brix is not available at the moment.

- Your handling of the case was flawed. - I made all the obvious moves.

You were responsible, and the girl died. You ought to hand in your resignation.

I just need him for a couple of minutes.

Sarah Lund and Asbjørn Juncker are in Jutland with Mathias Borch.

- They've called in extra manpower. - What for?

They think Emilie is alive, and that the perp is in West Jutland.

I've gotten a rather interesting impression of this department today.

I do apologise. I'll have the case closed.

- Emilie's mother wants to talk to you. - And the ships that sailed last night?

- Could he have boarded one of them? - We haven't heard anything.

- It's Lund. - Speak to me.

We believe the perp may have spared Emilie,

hidden her on the boat, and then driven here in a stolen car.

Why spare her?

He found out that maybe Zeeland weren't responsible for the death of the girl.

- But you have no evidence? - Emilie Zeuthen may still be alive.

He won't stop until he's sure what happened then.

- We need more manpower. - Stop Lund and call them back.

- Brix? - Lennart.

Continue.

I'll make sure you get support from the surrounding police districts.

- Then I'll do it myself. - Ruth...

I don't have time for this nonsense. The girl may still be...

I'd like to finish my job,

and it would improve my evaluation, if you cooperated.

Why should I cooperate?

No one else in the building is cooperating.

Everyone's trying to cover their own arse.

What are you going to say to the Ministry of Justice,

if there was something we didn't get to the bottom of?

- Shall we get it done? - We'll postpone the inquiry for a day.

Just to make sure that we haven't...

Leave the boxes and see what we've found out down at the harbour.

What do I tell the mother?

I apologise for the wait. I hope you've been informed,

that the salvage crew are doing all that they can.

- You'll be notified. - Why is it taking so long?

We've found the concrete block that weighed her down.

There was a rope tied to the block,

but it appears that the duffel bag she was in has come loose.

- But you started looking right away? - That's correct.

If she's there, we'll hopefully find her soon.

You're welcome to call me.

- Here's my direct number. - Why do you say "If"?

Why?

You said "If she's there."

We assume that she is,

but events have made us keep investigating exactly what he's done.

- But you're not sure? - Yes.

Everything indicates...

I'm sorry.

He sailed on to Copenhagen. Couldn't she have been on board?

I really don't know any more.

We'll contact you.

We'll start checking the holiday homes. The others will come when HQ is sorted.

- Is this where she was found? - Yes.

The Zeeland ship was out there. Let's get going.

In order to make it look like a suicide,

they could've just driven here and thrown her in.

Now focus on why we've come all the way over here. Let's go.

If the foster family is right, Louise disappeared a day earlier,

than it says in the police report.

If the public prosecutor had the date changed,

something must have happened that day, that was covered up.

We've started a search for the red van on local radio and among cab drivers.

We'll search everything within a radius of ten kilometres.

I'll start in this area up here. You and Asbjørn start down here.

I'll go and speak to the foster family first.

I'll hurry. I need to check something.

There are 20 of us here. Sarah?

Will the PM step down after the Zeuthen kidnapping ended in tragedy last night?

Throughout the case the government have met with tough criticism

from the opposition.

- We need to change the system together. - What's in it for my voters?

You supported a government with skeletons in the cupboard,

and Emilie Zeuthen died.

- Excuse me, the PM wants a word. - It'll have to wait.

- We'll meet after his press conference. - Now, Ussing.

No, I have no comment at the present time.

I assume we share a common interest in ending this affair in a dignified manner.

Yes, indeed, so why don't you get it over and done with?

Then why haven't you disclosed that you met with the same public prosecutor

that you've accused my Justice Minister of pressuring into twisting an old police case?

- Who told you that? - What did you talk to him about?

Is this official?

If you suspect me of something, then set Special Branch on me.

I intend to.

You met with him two and a half years ago.

Are you saying that I've pressured the assistant public prosecutor?

- What did you talk about? - The meeting was private.

Had it been about the case, I would have said so.

It's entirely understandable that you're trying to save face here,

two minutes before the curtain falls,

but your argument is too low.

Now, I'll continue my meeting with Rosa Lebech.

He says it was private. Nothing to do with the old case.

Right after the Justice Minister met with the same man?

The meeting proves nothing in itself. Why would Ussing be involved?

If it were a private meeting, he would have mentioned it earlier.

- That doesn't change anything. - Yes, it was during the investigation.

- I won't dishonour Emilie Zeuthen. - You may not have to.

Call the Justice Minister. The police haven't found her yet.

They're in Jutland. They don't think the perp has finished with the case.

There's a possibility that Emilie is with him.

Apparently they can't rule out that she may still be alive.

This kidnapping has been disastrous, especially for the Zeuthen family.

For good reasons I can't go into detail, but merely state

that the Ministry of Justice and I have met with severe criticism.

There are several unanswered questions, and it's my duty to put things in order,

and bring clarity, not least out of respect for the Zeuthens.

- What unanswered questions? - Is the Prime Minister stepping down?

We need to get to the bottom of everything.

Tomorrow, I'll call the party leaders in for a briefing,

and ask that the election isn't exploited as an unworthy epilogue.

- Have you been contacted this evening? - No.

Have you seen a red van, or has anything unusual happened?

Who are you looking for?

Someone who may have had a close relationship with Louise.

She only had us. No one else.

We've already told your colleagues.

Is that her?

How was Louise placed into foster care with you?

Louise used to live with her mother in Copenhagen.

Her mother died of cancer.

She was sent to a children's home.

But then the crisis hit, and the children's home was closed.

And then she was placed with different foster families.

She was moved around a lot. She couldn't quite settle anywhere.

But three years ago, she came to stay with us.

Were there no other close relatives? I understand her father was unknown.

Her mother had told her,

that he sailed the Seven Seas just like Pippi Longstocking's father.

Did she say anything else? Did she get a name?

No. It sounds like a story.

Of course Louise was hoping that some day he would come for her,

but he never did.

We tried to do everything that we could for her.

She seemed happy.

And we actually thought that things had worked out well,

until...

...until they found her.

I'm sorry to reopen the wound, but Louise didn't commit suicide.

She was killed.

- How? - That's what we're trying to find out.

Can I have a look at her things, if you still have them?

She rode her bike to school as usual.

She should've been back home early in the afternoon.

She always went the same route,

past the harbour, along the water by the pier.

And this definitely happened on the Thursday and not the Friday?

- You don't forget a day like that. - No, of course not.

Who was the last person to see her that day?

Her class teacher. She saw her pulling her bike along towards the harbour.

- And nobody else saw her? - No.

Well, yes.

Someone thought they had seen her up on the main road,

but the police said that it wasn't her anyway.

Was her bike ever found?

I don't know. I don't think they told us anything.

Robert?

She's always hated this painting. It scared her. Give me a hand.

Robert, stop it!

I didn't listen to her. I didn't have time to listen to her.

Stop now, damn it!

I know this is unbearable, but you have to pull yourself together.

And it's my duty to tell you.

- Have they found her? - No, not yet.

Then we'll do it ourselves. Send a crew up there.

The police decline help because it can ruin important leads. Don't interfere.

Maja was to decide on the funeral. Have you heard from her?

- I suggest we deal with it tomorrow. - I want it done right away.

Yes, I understand, but Maja refuses to speak about it.

I spoke to her a little while ago.

She seems unwilling to accept that Emilie is dead.

Carl's asleep. Yes, see you. Bye.

Mum will be here in a minute. Then we'll go look for Emilie.

- Where do you want to go? - Down the coastal road to the bridge.

It's dark out there. We can only light up the road.

She may be standing by the road, if he's let her out somewhere.

Where are the batteries?

Hi.

If you've spoken to the police, you'll know they haven't changed their minds.

She could have been on the boat when it sailed off.

We don't know what's happened.

We do, because I was there, and I saw it.

He shot her and then he threw her in the water.

- It doesn't matter. I can't feel it. - Is that what you want to tell Carl?

That she's coming back and everything will be as it was.

Maja, I need your help with this.

Help me with the funeral and with Carl.

Don't force me to believe in something that...

We'll go as soon as my mum arrives.

Where are you now?

We've searched all the holiday homes. We didn't find a damn thing.

Now we'll search the bunkers.

- Have you set up road blocks? - Yes, there's no way in or out of town.

- What are you doing? - I've just entered the school.

- We've already checked. - There's a teacher I want to speak to.

She's the last one to see Louise alive. Her husband says she's here.

- Are we going to search the farms? - I'll take the lad to inspect some pigs.

I'm expecting you to join us, when you've spoken to her. Agreed?

Sarah, are you listening to me?

Sarah?

I think he's here.

A door's been left open. The window is smashed.

Stay where you are.

Sarah?

- Is everything OK? - Yes.

It was just me... I'm really sorry.

I'm pretty sure that he was here.

What exactly do Special Branch know?

So far, we're still assuming that Emilie Zeuthen was killed last night.

- But you're not sure? - Because the body hasn't been found.

I expect you and the police are doing everything you can to find the girl.

Obviously.

We've asked the Justice Minister for extra resources.

He's off sick and no longer involved. You'll deal with the permanent secretary.

And Ussing refuses to say what his meeting with the prosecutor was about.

But as this prosecutor was involved in the old case,

it would be appropriate for Special Branch to investigate.

And we have. Ussing and the prosecutor both graduated from law school,

at the University of Copenhagen, and they're old friends.

It's still odd for them to meet during the old investigation,

on the very day of the Justice Minister's meeting.

Yes, or it could be a coincidence. They met a couple of times a year.

The Treasurer would like to speak to you.

I want you to dig deeper into Ussing's affairs.

And if there's news on Emilie Zeuthen, I want to know immediately.

- We agreed to prioritise the party. - The situation's changed.

If you have nothing solid on Ussing, this thing could seriously backfire.

- Then let's have it investigated. - Kristian, it's undignified.

I had more faith in your judgment.

We're really busy. So are you, it seems.

I can't support this and I'm not alone. The entire party is calling me.

Who's been considered as my successor?

I was encouraged myself.

But it's not about that, it's about saving the party.

I'm trying to do the same and I expect your full support.

Contact the Centre Party. I want to sync with Rosa before the meeting tomorrow.

Ask Stoffer to find out why Ussing is interested in the old case.

- I can't get hold of him. - Did you leave a message?

I keep calling, but it's as if he's gone underground.

You haven't seen anyone, and no one's contacted you within the last 24 hours?

- No. - And the broken glass in the door?

It must have been the wind. I'm the one who opened the door.

I have nothing else.

You saw Louise Hjelby the day she disappeared.

What exactly did you see?

I saw Louise pulling her bike along on her way home.

Do you know if anyone else saw her that day after school?

Yes, one of her classmates thought she saw her up on the main road.

I'd like to speak to all the pupils tomorrow morning.

Let me just get this right. One of your colleagues called,

and asked about the same things an hour ago.

- Who was it? - He said his name was Mathias Borch.

Mathias Borch?

Yes, he was kind and amiable.

Thank you. He called using the same MO as the perp used earlier.

- They can't trace the call. - Have you searched everywhere?

Yes, but we'll expand the search.

There was something that he wanted at the school.

- No. He wasn't at the school. - I'm absolutely sure that he was.

We're looking for the same answer to what happened back then.

No, you're looking for Emilie Zeuthen and for the perp.

Hello.

Then we have a problem. She's aware of that.

I don't think that's a good idea. Listen...

I'll call you back later.

Hi.

- Who were you speaking to? - That was Headquarters.

Your room is down the hall, but we'll go and help...

- Now tell me what you know. - About what?

About the perp using your name.

How the hell should I know?

Why would he use your name, if he doesn't know you?

Was Special Branch involved in this? Were you working the old case?

What were you doing here the day before yesterday?

I was collecting information for you.

I wasn't involved in that case.

He could have heard my name on the radio.

Or perhaps he's planning for us to have this conversation.

Why don't you believe me? Why don't you trust anyone?

- Why is it always like this? - What are you talking about?

You shut everything out. Everything. Me. Us back then. Your son.

No one's allowed into your life. Sarah?

- Juncker is looking for you. - Not now.

I'm busy.

I spoke to one of the local officers, and there may be an explanation.

A journalist called this morning asking for access to the old case.

He was referred to Borch and Special Branch,

because Borch had just been here.

But according to the newspaper they haven't called the police.

It could have been the perp.

Hi. I've just heard or I've just been informed...

So I must have misunderstood. It was my...

- Yes, hello. - It's Brix, where are you?

There's a search on after the break-in at the school, and you're not there.

I'm on my way.

Damn it!

Did Special Branch report back about Ussing?

Not yet.

I spoke to someone who studied law with Ussing and the public prosecutor.

They were close friends. They played squash together.

Surely not when they had that meeting.

- Any news on Emilie Zeuthen? - Not yet, they're still looking.

I've just spoken to Rosa Lebech.

She'll come before the other party leaders.

You need to call Kristoffer back if you want more on Ussing before the meeting.

We need him to use his contacts.

Yes. See you. Bye.

Emilie may still be alive. We can prove that Ussing met with the prosecutor.

We need to find out why in a hurry. He may have been involved in the case.

If that's true, we'll bring it out into the open.

- Do you hear what I'm saying? - Yes.

That Ussing may be getting away with his dirty tricks because of your massive ego.

- I need your help. - Yes.

You know everything about everyone. We can't let Ussing take it all away.

There is no we, it's all about you, and it always has been.

Even when I say to focus on your campaign,

and forget about the fucking kidnapping,

you don't listen, and that's why we're in the shit now. Frederik, come.

- OK, you may have a point. - I'm right as rain.

- Would you hold this for me? - You ran off, but I didn't step down.

Now I'm asking for your help.

- I'll take him to the nursery. - No, I'll do it. Kristian is leaving.

Thank you for the offer, but I can't save you from this.

And I don't want to get dragged down.

Hi, Uncle Kristian.

Hi, Frederik.

- What's happened? - Good morning. Where have you been?

What's happened?

The cleaners reported a break-in.

No one's seen or heard anything.

- I tried your room. You weren't there. - Did Borch find out something?

Did you find out anything?

He looked everywhere and stopped when he found the files on the girl's class.

Then he's the one who was here last night.

- Did he take anything? - We're still getting a general idea.

A photo of the girl's class is missing. We're waiting for a copy.

You have a bit of toothpaste there.

Hi, darling.

The girl next to Louise, who is she?

- Louise's best friend, Katja. - I would like to talk to her.

I met him half an hour ago on my way to school.

- He said he was from the police. - Where exactly did you meet him?

On Klitvænget. A small road leading down to the harbour outside of town.

- Shall I go? - Have you seen this girl before?

- No, I didn't see anyone apart from him. - What did he look like?

- Ordinary, shorter than you, dark hair. - What did he want?

He asked if it was me who saw Louise after school the day she disappeared.

- And did you see her? - Yes, by the town sign.

On the main road. I was on my way to a horse riding class.

She was standing further down the road with her bike.

What was she doing on the main road? She usually walked home along the water.

Her bike got broken that morning.

She was probably going to get it fixed. I think that's why she got a lift.

A lift?

- Yes, there was a man in a black car. - What man? Did you see him?

No, at first I thought he was just asking for directions.

Then the boot was opened and she went to put in the bike.

- She drove off before I got there. - What kind of car was it?

- It was just black. - What make was it?

- It was expensive and not from here. - Did you tell the man this?

Do you remember anything else about the car? What make was it?

If we're to believe you, you need to come up with a credible explanation.

I don't know! I don't know.

Do you remember which direction he went?

I don't know.

I'll just make a call.

Louise would never take her own life, and I told them that.

You've dragged the fjord numerous times.

- How long will it take? - The navy and the air force are helping.

Then why the hell haven't you found her? Emilie's mother believes she's alive.

Yes.

That's regrettable.

What about the search in Jutland?

We haven't found anything to indicate that your daughter is alive.

- Don't you find that strange? - No, it's not unusual.

- Yes. - It's Rheinhardt.

I've spoken with the church, and the priest can see you today.

- Shall I try to contact Maja again? - Leave it to me. Thank you.

If you haven't recovered my daughter by the end of today,

I'll take care of it myself.

Hi, I'm just calling to say that I'll go see the priest with or without you. Bye.

To listen again, press one.

Why are you crying?

I'll take care of you.

I'm taking care of you.

Why are you and Dad sad?

Considering the situation six months ago, I understand why you talked to Ussing.

Right now, it's important that I can count on your support as Prime Minister.

- Why should I give it? - We agreed. We promised the electorate.

Your Justice Minister may have caused the death of Emilie Zeuthen.

I'm left in the dark.

The investigation is ongoing, and Ussing's affairs are being checked.

Ussing told me himself.

Yes? What did he tell you?

He's shocked at your accusations. He says they're insane.

Why are we spending time convincing you?

We've discussed this alliance many times, and you always believe more in Ussing.

Yes, it isn't credible...

Your ex-husband leaking confidential papers to Ussing hasn't helped.

- We'll handle it. - That hasn't been proved.

- But it will be soon. - Thank you, Karen!

I'll postpone my meeting with the party leaders,

so that you and I can have a proper talk about this.

I'm taking Ussing's side. I hope you understand.

- Am I too early? - We'll be fine without her.

- It wasn't smart to mention her ex. - We're wasting a lot of time on her.

She doesn't trust you.

Karen, that's enough, OK?

- Well, don't mind me. - Where the hell have you been?

I don't have time for a telling-off. Any other criticism can wait till Christmas.

- Now is a good time to listen. - Why?

He needs to meet one of Ussing's former employees.

- I'm not meeting with anyone. - Fine, then sit here and hug yourself.

That's great. And you'll go through it?

Thank you. Bye, Hans Erik.

They've searched both along the coast and the main road. No one's seen him.

I've double-checked. There's no mention of a black car in Louise Hjelby's file.

Maybe the prosecutor asked the investigator to ignore the testimony,

and that's why the driver of the black car was never found.

The car may not be important. Where is Asbjørn?

Why wouldn't it be important? It must be part of the cover-up.

Let's focus on the red van for now. Do you agree?

You keep going on about it.

- If it's because of last night... - No, no!

- You keep returning to the old case. - Why discuss the black car's importance?

It's not about last night!

The girl was found dead a few days after she got into a black car.

And right now the perp is trying to find out where the black car went.

All right, look for the black car. Open the door.

What are you doing?

I just spoke to a guy at a garage. We may be onto something.

- What garage? - A little further out. Follow me.

We're coming. I have the key.

You said that you had some kind of record of cars driving through town.

No, I said that my son did. You should talk to him about it.

- If anyone watches cars, it's him. - Where's your son now?

He'll be here soon.

- Do you think your son knows something? - Look inside the beauty there.

Look in the glove compartment.

It's won't bite.

Those are all his books.

He's crazy about car registrations. He writes down all new numbers.

You can ask him yourselves. There he is. Hi, Jakob.

No, leave it to me. You can have a look at that.

Hi.

- How long has he been doing it? - A long time.

But you probably want the recent ones. Your colleague may be looking at them.

- Have you seen a red van? - Well?

- We're just talking. - Could it be this one?

- Is it red? Where did you see it? - Out by the holiday homes a while ago.

- Let's go. - I'd like to study your son's books.

Someone will come and sign for them.

- It was that policeman, Dad. - What policeman?

I was on Ussing's staff and one day when he met the assistant public prosecutor,

I came in to get some papers signed.

Why are you no longer working for Ussing?

Money vanished from the campaign budget which I was responsible for.

- But I had nothing to do with it. - It doesn't matter. Listen to him.

- They were talking. - Ussing asked for the meeting, right?

Yes, he had moved a few things around to fit it in that day.

I've always wanted to work for the PM, but the job hasn't materialised... yet.

- I have a degree in political science. - Get back on track.

I'm not one to eavesdrop, but they had asked me to stand outside the door,

so I couldn't help hearing what was being said.

What did they talk about?

- They spoke loudly like close friends. - And they talked about?

Ussing wanted to talk about a certain case about a dead girl in West Jutland.

The public prosecutor was reluctant, probably bound by confidentiality.

- But Ussing insisted strongly. - Yes?

Why did he want to talk about that case?

There was something, he didn't want to come out.

I've also worked in Brussels for years, so I'm well versed in all EU matters.

What was it Ussing didn't want to come out?

To me, it sounded as if he knew the girl personally.

I don't know how, but he was adamant,

as if there was something he didn't want to come out.

- Did you hear anything else? - No, that's when they closed the door.

I work as a freelance consultant. I can start any time. I'm flexible.

- I'm just a call away. - Thank you.

We don't need anyone right now. You'll have to talk to Special Branch.

Special Branch? Why is that necessary?

The Treasurer would like to see you, when you return to Christiansborg.

- We've discovered something important. - Can it wait? Come with me.

A party committee meeting has been called. It starts in an hour.

- I didn't call the meeting. - There's only one point on the agenda.

We'll try to persuade you to step down of your own accord,

otherwise we'll have to withdraw our support.

I'm really sorry, but you're leaving us no choice.

No one comes before the party - not even you.

We want it conducted in private. Only our closest relatives.

Have you considered any hymns, that you would like us to sing?

There's a hymn we sang at her christening which is called...

Yes?

- Teach Me, The Night Star. - Yes.

Yes, that's a beautiful one.

There's a point in the ceremony where I'd like to say a few things about Emilie.

Is there anything in particular, you would like me to mention?

I know that Emilie has a little brother.

I don't know if he'll be joining us, but if he is,

I'd like to take that into account in my oration.

We haven't decided yet whether he is going.

I'd like to say that for some children it can be very helpful,

to get an opportunity to say goodbye,

and to learn a little more about the nature of death.

It can be a very tangible and beautiful experience,

to walk forward and lay a flower on the casket.

How can it be a beautiful experience?

No amount of consolation will be able to take away your pain.

We mourn because we have loved.

And you still love Emilie, even though she isn't here.

It's the same for Carl, who's lost his big sister.

You could say that mourning is love without a home.

So, maybe it would be good for him to see,

that you're supporting each other...

Maja?

Why is it locked? I want to get out.

- Let's stay and get this arranged. - I want to get out. Let me out.

It's about time we told Carl.

Don't! Let me out, damn it!

We're in an area where the perp's car was seen,

but we haven't found anything yet.

- For fuck's sake - I'll call again later.

- Brix. - If it's Ruth Hedeby, just say I'm busy.

The salvage crew has found the girl, or what's supposed to be the girl.

He must be here somewhere. Did you hear from Asbjørn?

- No, I didn't. - What's on the map?

- Could you have overlooked some place? - We've searched everywhere.

- About last night... - I know, it shouldn't have happened.

No, it shouldn't have.

Give me that map.

- My problem is... - You don't need to say anything.

My problem is, that I don't regret it.

So...

Where does that road lead?

To a closed boat builder's yard, but it's been checked out.

And again after someone drove through the cordon?

He must have been here.

That looks like Louise Hjelby's bike.

Sarah?

This is where she was taken.

Yes, I'll have a look around.

Hi, I've just had a call from the car breaker.

We need some people here...

He claims that Borch took another one of the boy's books early this morning.

- What book? - One of the ones with car registrations.

He also claims that Borch questioned the boy when Louise Hjelby disappeared.

Do you hear what I'm saying, Lund?

The red van is parked round the back. Come.

Why is the boy's book important?

What?

It was you and Special Branch who erased everything about the black car.

- What are you talking about? - Or did you have the prosecutor do it?

- You came here to cover your tracks. - Give it a rest, will you?

- I know you took a book this morning. - I'm not discussing this.

Why is that book important?

It's not what you think.

The boy was noting random registration numbers when the girl disappeared.

One stood out, and we checked it.

- It turned out to be a false lead. - Why?

We couldn't tell who was driving...
