Sell him the superconductor project.
All it needs is his investment.

Let him think it all depends on him.

The price isn't 100, but 400.

You're good at getting people to like you.

We can't do this. You're important to me.

- You're paranoid.
- Say the Hells Angels hear about the money?

- Energreen is handing over evidence.
- They're trying to bury us in it.

- The CFO is mentioned on the tape.
- If we can prove it's him, we're on.

I had a lovely time.
I think about you all the time.

It's not good.

- I'm hungry.
- Here.

- The teddy bears want to eat, too.
- Really?

- Otherwise they'll starve.
- And be sad.

- Two bowls are all Dad can handle.
- Is that so?

- Karin Skov here.
- Here's porridge for your dolls.

- It's for you.
- Who is it?

The police.

Ulrik Skov.

- What's wrong with Dad?
- Nothing, sweetie.

He looks scared.

Eat your porridge.

FOLLOW THE MONEY

- That's your desk.
- Right.

- I'd like to welcome you officially.
- Thank you very much.

Especially because you talked
to Preben, so I could work here.

- He wouldn't mind if I kept you.
- He'll cool down. We're old friends.

Morning.

If you need a course in econ,
talk to Henriette.

- Excuse me?
- A course in economy.

Our investigators have taken courses
in economy, accounting and laundering.

- There's a lot of paperwork for you.
- I'll say when.

- Have a nice day.
- Thanks.

You've never investigated financial crimes?

- No... Or yes. No.
- Let's get cracking.

We called CFO Ulrik Skov in for a meeting.

Shouldn't we go through the files
and get a handle on the case first?

- The case is bigger than the files.
- Suddenly you know all about it?

- Then explain what front running is.
- I studied the traders' books.

- There are several inconsistencies.
- That's why we need to talk to Skov.

- We have to shake his tree.
- Shake his tree?

We'll just talk to him
while you study the files.

Energreen will be scrutinized.
Contracts will be studied,

as well as earnings and costs,
so we know what we're worth.

And a strategy for the upcoming IPO
will be set out.

The presentation in Abu Dhabi laid the
groundwork, so why not expedite the IPO?

- But you want us to downsize?
-Investors need to know the company.

- So, we only tell them one story.
- The energy needs of the future.

- And everything else?
- Goes.

We have to look attractive and streamlined.

By jettisoning dead weight, management
will look adaptable and tough.

- I talked to the board. They're in.
- You're in charge of the legalities.

Did you give Mark and Peter up to the police?

Hi, Ulrik.

Did you start without me?

- You're half an hour late.
- It's not my fault.

Let's sort this out. Give us two minutes.

Of course.

Timing, Ulrik.

What have you done?

Why didn't you tell me?

- You gave them up to the police.
- We had to.

- What did you give them?
- Nothing that can incriminate you.

- It was carefully selected.
- We gave them enough to keep them busy.

- This will be the end of it.
- So why did the fraud squad summon me?

The inconsistencies in the books
can be attributed to Mark and Peter.

Ulrik, you're good at this.
Just tell them the truth.

- But why am I not at this meeting?
- No decisions will be made without you.

You have nothing to hide. Demonstrate
that by cooperating with the police.

What happened to your hand?

Nicky? Nicky.

- What's up?
- Someone took the money!

- What?
- It's gone.

- It's gone.
- Listen. It isn't gone.

Burying it was stupid. Any fool could...

-isn't it gone?
- No, I moved it.

- Are you fucking with me?
- I told you not to go near it.

- You can't move it without telling me!
- Why not? Would you have taken it?

- Not your half.
- We had a deal. Not to touch it.

- Since when are you the boss?
- You jerk!

What will happen if people find out
that two amateurs are loaded?

- Do you want to lose your fingers?
- No, it's just...

- What?
- Nothing.

What did you do?

Shit! Tell Jan I'll be in later.

- He already saw you.
- I know, but I have to fix something.

We aren't charging you,

but we have questions
about the traders' books.

What is this?

- Salaries and bonuses.
- Who approved such large amounts?

- My department.
- You?

I don't remember. Energreen is huge.
I can't keep tabs on everything.

- So you don't remember.
- There are large withdrawals.

But no documentation in the books.
What are the withdrawals?

- I don't know.
- You know nothing about it?

- Not to my recollection.
- Is that normal?

That the CFO isn't told that a million
was withdrawn without documentation?

Here's another thing. During
Mark Nyager's first year in 2010...

I see you have my resume.
I didn't work there at the time.

You must know Nyager and Smndergérd well
in the four years you've been there.

- We didn't socialise.
- How did you get the job?

What does that have to do with anything?

We're just talking.

- I was headhunted.
- By whom?

How is that relevant?

Harton and Co.
They specialise in the energy sector.

- He seemed nervous and slippery.
- Yes.

He lied about the job. I asked Harton
and Co. what they had on Ulrik Skov.

- What did they have?
- Nothing. They didn't headhunt him.

- Why did Ulrik lie?
- He's hiding something. We'll find out.

- This is a dubious lead.
- We'll find out how he got the job.

And talk to his former employer.

Nicky, where's Bimse?

- I don't know.
- You were arguing. What's going on?

- He wasn't feeling well.
- We have work to do. Go and get him.

- Seriously?
- Tell me what you argued about.

Nothing important.

- Go now.
- Right.

Bimse?

Bimse?

Hello?

Bimse! What happened?

Fuck!

Fuck.

- Stop it!
- Easy now. It's Nicky.

Look at me. Hey.

Hi, Nicky.

I owe some people money,
so I went to the woods to get it.

- Did you promise them euros?
- Yes, but not much.

- Bimse, we can't spend that money.
- You're paranoid about bikers.

It's not about bikers. What about the police?

And the people whose money it is?
We don't know where it comes from.

- It came from the car.
- Why have two million euros in cash?

- This isn't a joke.
- It wasn't mentioned on the news.

No one misses it.

It has to be exchanged and laundered.
That's what we agreed on.

How much do you owe?

10,000 kroner. They have to have it tomorrow.

The interest is 2,000 a day.

I got 10,000 for the car. You can borrow
it. We don't touch the money in the bag.

That's all they get. I'll go with you.

- Steen, I just want to see my son.
- You'll see him in six days.

I miss him. You're taking him to Paris,
so you should be a bit generous.

Listen. I understand, but...

We're going camping with the oldest kids.

- Fine. Can I talk to him?
- Of course.

- Bertram, Mum wants to talk to you.
- Hello?

- How much do you want to come tomorrow?
- Will you pay me?

I want to see you.
Dad says you're going camping.

I don't want to. Simone's kids are a bummer.

Then I'll see you tomorrow.
Put Dad on again.

Bye.

- We're on again.
- Right.

- Everything all right?
- Yes.

Good.

We're going through our standard
contracts. Most them are up to snuff.

- The legalities will soon be in order.
- Great. As soon as possible.

Johan and I have considered
our subsidiaries and business partners.

If it were up to me,
we wouldn't let any of them go.

Every company is significant.
And if Ulrik would pay attention...

We looked at a company in Fredericia.

Thullander Industries?

On the whole, their components
aren't relevant, so there's no synergy.

- You can't decide that without me.
- We're all here now.

Thullander is the only company we have
that focuses on solar cells.

Energreen is wind. Thullander develops
solar panels and cooling systems.

It's ridiculous to cut off a profitable
area because it doesn't fit a profile.

Thullander has had a deficit for three
years. This plan makes the most sense.

Our plan is to fire 150 of their
employees and sell off the rest.

We've found potential buyers.

All we need is for someone to tell
the CEO to fire 150 of his employees.

You'll do that. Right, Ulrik?

No.

- You won't do it?
- No, I won't.

I'll do it.

Good.

Let's move on to section 3.7...

- Hi, honey.

- So... How did it go?
- Well. The pills are working. I'm fine.

Damn! Is that his car?

It's just a car.

It's a Jaguar XF 3.0 with a V6 engine.

- Will he give us a ride?
- You and your cars.

Honey, I was thinking.
Now that you're feeling better...

Should we go to the nursery?
And buy rhododendrons?

Dorte and I were going out tonight.

You didn't mention it.

No. I'll cancel it. Let's go.

You're good at this.
You could be a gardener.

- When you grow up.
- I hate flowers.

Plants have feelings, too.
Watch your language.

- I love sphagnum.
- Sphagnum isn't a plant, silly.

What do you think, honey?
Is this good enough?

Yes. It's fine.

I don't know if it should be
on the right or the left. Hello!

Honey! Right or left?

- Why don't you decide?
- Okay, but you usually do.

- I don't know. I'm a bit tired.
- Then take a nap.

Take a nap while Sphagnum Man
finishes up here. Esther, speed it up.

Give me a hand, Sphagnum Man.
Which superhero should Esther be?

DAVID. CAN'T TONIGHT AFTER ALL.
SORRY.

- Weren't we going to stay home today?
- Yes, but now we have to go to Jutland.

I know we weren't supposed to go,
but I wanted to see you.

If you want to see me,
why don't we do something I want to?

Sometimes boring things turn out to be
fun. We've never been to Fredericia.

- It might be awesome.
- As if! You have to work.

- I promise that we'll have fun.
- Okay.

Yeah? Yeah?

Okay. Ready, sport?

- Don't forget your bag.
- Okay.

- Hello.
- Hello. Claudia.

- Hi. What's your name?
- Bertram.

That's a nice name. Shall we?

Did you know that my father built
this production hall in 1978?

Back then, we had 300 employees here.
Asbjmrn has been here ever since.

Ten years later,
production costs were too high,

but my father wouldn't outsource it.

Then he reorganised the production.
It went from production to innovation.

We're still 300,
including secretaries and engineers.

The life work of you and your father
won't disappear.

We have good potential buyers
who will carry on your legacy.

It will be done properly. Anything else
wouldn't be in Energreen's interest.

We got five years to turn things around
after the merger with SunCom.

- Those five years haven't passed.
- But your deficit is too big.

We didn't have a deficit
until we merged with SunCom.

- It's not my decision.
- You follow orders.

- I do what's best for the company.
- But you don't have to fire people!

- I won't accept it. I'll resign.
- Thullander can't survive without you.

- I don't like this.
- And your employees are aware of it.

Bertram?

- Bertram?
- Oh, no! Do we have to go?

- What a warm welcome.
- Sorry. He was sitting all alone...

- No, I'm sorry he bothered you.
- Not at all. We had fun, didn't we?

Would you mind watching him
for a little while longer?

- Please!
- If she has the time.

- My pleasure.
- Thank you.

- Let's watch the one with the goat.
- Yes, let's watch it again.

Why do you want to talk about Ulrik?
He's a good guy.

- We're not saying he isn't.
- He worked for you for two years.

Yes, he ran our real estate portfolio perfectly.

He was excellent.
One of my best employees.

- So naturally he rose in the ranks.
- He's indispensable.

- How did he end up at Energreen?
- I don't really know.

- Usually people are headhunted.
- And if that's not the case?

I don't know.
Maybe through an old contact at Swan.

Swan?

- It isn't listed on his résumé.
- I'm not surprised if he left it out.

They were into wind turbines,
but went bankrupt.

Bankruptcy doesn't look good
when you're the CFO.

Ulrik Skov got a job at Energreen
after a bankruptcy.

How does that add up?

It doesn't. We have to talk
to Svend Lauritzen, who owned Swan.

- He's retired.
- Then he'll enjoy some company.

- Jesus! Is this yours? A Pontiac?
- Yup. A 1966 GTO.

How the hell could you afford it?

- Ipfloflfise.
- I assume you don't have a family.

- That's his boat over there.
- I thought he was bankrupt.

Everything is probably in his wife's name.

Svend Lauritzen? We'd like to talk to you.

- I'm afraid I don't have time.
- We're from the fraud squad.

- Then I certainly don't have time.
- It's about Ulrik Skov.

Swan's project was an offshore wind farm
supplying energy for 15,000 households.

We ran into serious budget problems
from the get-go.

Ulrik said that instead of downsizing
we should double the wind farm's size.

Then revalue the forecasted profit
and use it to take out more loans.

- Did the bank agree?
- Yes. Because Ulrik cooked the books.

- How did he do that?
- You'll have to ask Ulrik.

- Why didn't you report him?
- Everything depended on his books.

So we kept taking out loans.

I was just waiting
for new government subsidies.

- You let a criminal do your books.
- I had no choice.

Suddenly he wanted me
to declare the company bankrupt.

- Then the offer came.
- What offer?

DanStrmm, the state-owned company.

They offered a price far above
the value of the wind farm.

But below what it should have
been worth. So I accepted it.

Two months later, the government
granted subsidies for offshore wind.

The value of my wind farm
increased tenfold in one afternoon.

And I got nothing out of it,
thanks to Ulrik Skov.

Give him my best if you bust him.

What's up?

- I thought you were paying in euros.
- It's kroner instead, 10 grand.

- Fine, but you owe 12.
- The 2,000 was interest.

You said I had until today without interest.

He owes 10. You have it.

- Was I talking to you?
- I only owe 10!

Relax. I'm taking the piss. You only owe 10.

- That's what I thought.
- Bimse, can I have a word?

- I need to talk to you about something.
- Sure.

Come.

It's private.

It's cool.

You're Nicky, right? Can I sit down?

Don't you want a real smoke?

- You can have a toke.
- No, thanks.

- You don't smoke in a smoker's club?
- I'm waiting for a friend.

That guy Bimse?

Why are you doing with him?
You're the one who steals cars.

You should work for me.
I have a good business. Good money.

I'll think about it.

- What the fuck?
- Let's go. Don't.

It's my own fault.

Are you okay?

My mum is visiting tomorrow.
She'll be pissed about the way I look.

She's probably just worried about you.

She says that I screw up all the time.

And I probably do.

I have something. Here.

See you.

Bimse? Bimse?

- Do you want to come to dinner?
- At your house?

No, at my chéteau in France. Yes,
at Lina's and my place here in da hood.

- Would you like to?
- Sure.

Then get in.

As you know, Thullander Industries
had some tough years.

Energreen feels that a separation

will promote growth for both parties.

- So we're looking for a new owner.
- Will people be fired?

This is a new situation. Jmrgen
Thullander will give you an estimate.

It's a sad day, I must admit.

You've all worked harder and longer

for this company than anyone could expect.

You created this company.

And I created the problems.

So some of you will pay for my mistakes.

I expect half of you to be fired. Wait.

I'm exploring the possibilities
for those of you who are leaving us.

It's my duty to see that
as few as possible are affected by this.

I promise you that none of you will be
left to your own devices.

None of you.

I promise. It's my responsibility
as your boss.

Is Grethe nice?

- Do you understand why we're here?
- Grethe says people will be fired.

It's just like at football.
Some players sit on the bench.

- It's no fun, but there it is.
- Everyone gets substituted.

Not everyone, but most of them will be.

You haven't finished.

Finish your dinner.

- Doesn't he wake up when you go in?
- We're very quiet. Mostly.

Look. You can borrow one of these.

I'll show you how to put it on,
so you can do it tomorrow.

Won't his mum worry if he has make-up on?

She won't be able to see it.
Okay, sit like this.

We'll try this first.
It's easy. You can do this at home.

Does it hurt?

- What happened?
- I tried to save a lady in distress.

You know what guys are like.

Nicky isn't the romantic type.

Because you won't let me fight.

I haven't done your whole face,
but take a look.

- Whoa!
- You can hardly tell.

- I need it back. It's expensive.
- Of course. Thanks.

- I'm off.
- Already? What about beer?

My mum is probably bringing breakfast.
See you. Thanks.

- Good luck tomorrow.
- Thanks. Bye.

Nice job. I'll make sure you get it back.

- For Christ's sake, Bimse!
- I'll get it.

What's going on?

Hi, Nicky.

- Where's Lina? Where's Lina?
- Relax. She's in the next room.

Taking care of your son. Do you want her
to hear us talking business?

- I didn't think so.
- What do you want?

Bimse's friends say he's flush.
How nice for him. And for me.

He owes me money. He can pay in euros.
You know what I think?

You're his partner in crime. Otherwise
you wouldn't hang out with that clown.

You're too smart. So be smart, Nicky.
Let you and me cooperate.

What are you on about? I don't
have any money. Neither does Bimse.

No, but you have a beautiful wife and
a son. They're worth more than money.

Get it?

Good. Call me.

Are you okay? Is he okay? Are you okay?

- What the fuck did you do?
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Go away.

- Something is missing there.
- Ice?

Esther, 52 times 8 is 516, right?

- But it isn't right.
- I don't get it.

- Hey, hey. This is mental arithmetic.
- Dad...

- Everyone has a calculator.
- I have one on my watch.

It's 416, not 516.

- Hey. We're not done.
- I promised Hamid to play FIFA now.

Forget it.

You're smarter than your dad now.

Who's this?

Some young man misses you, Esther.
"I miss you a lot." Who's David?

That's not my phone. It's Mum's.

You got a text.

Hamid can play in half an hour.

Mads.

Who is it?

- Can we talk about it later?
- I want to talk about it now.

What's going on?

Nothing, sweetie.

Go and put your PJs on.

Albert.

Who misses you? Who is David?

It's nothing.

Who is he, Kristina?

- I'm sorry.
- Don't apologise for anything!

Tell me who the fuck he is! Answer me!

Who the hell is texting you?

Huh? Who is it?

Mia has covered business news
for ten years.

She looked into Swan's bankruptcy, too.

- Is something wrong?
- No.

- You do the talking. I can't.
- No problem.

- There you are.
- Hi.

This is Mads.

That's Mads. Hi. My name is Mia.
And Mads is...

My colleague.

My editors weren't interested in Swan.
I think there's a big story there.

It's absurd that DanStrom would pay
so much for such a lousy company.

- Unless they knew something.
- And there's more.

The permanent secretary in Ministry of
Energy was a former DanStrmm employee.

He's still in close contact with the CEO.

Could he have advised them to invest
in a half-finished wind farm?

Might Ulrik have expedited the bankruptcy

before the subsidies were granted?

- Let's talk to the permanent secretary.
- Don't you think I've tried?

But we're not reporters, we're the police.

Will that be all?

Yes. Thank you, Mia.

I've waited two months to hear from you.
And then you call and talk shop!

What a dickhead!

- Good morning, Alexander.
- Good morning.

I'm here with Jmrgen Thullander.
He's seen the list of potential buyers.

We've talked about
which employees we can retire,

reemploy and let go.

It's looking good. Jorgen will stay on,
so the takeover goes smoothly.

Good.

We have a problem.

- Thullander Industries can't be sold.
- How's that?

- I don't understand.
- No, it took me a while, too.

The problem is that there are
no assets in the company.

What about the buildings and machines?
We just built a new warehouse.

It's all been sold and leased back
to you. Our CFO didn't inform us.

- It's frustrating and unfortunate.
- But what does it mean?

It means that Thullander Industries
can't be sold because it's worthless.

- Why the hell haven't I been told?
- We'll try to get an overview.

- But that's the way it looks.
- Then Thullander can remain with us.

That would be irresponsible,
since we're going public.

Ulrik and I agree
that the company has to be closed.

Claudia, we have to close it down
immediately. It's important.

Yes, of course.

- Is this an interrogation?
- No, we just want to talk to you.

- I'd like to know what this is about.
- Have a seat and we'll explain.

DanStrmm took over the North Sea farm,
and two months later,

the government granted subsidies
to offshore wind farms.

Who knew about that?
Apart from you, the Ministry of Energy?

- I don't know what you're implying...
- Yes, you do.

You know perfectly well what Alf
is talking about. Answer yes or no.

Did you tell DanStrzm about the subsidies?

- Of course not!
- Or someone who could have told them?

As permanent secretary,
I keep my nose clean.

So, if we check your e-mails
and phone, we'll find nothing?

This conversation is over.
Next time, call my lawyer.

Do you feel the need for one?

You question a permanent secretary
without telling me? And lash out at him?

- What if he files a complaint?
- He won't. He feels guilty.

- We'll leave the trader lead for now.
- We still have documents to read.

Do it in your spare time. We'll look
into Ulrik and the permanent secretary.

- And find out about their past.
- By shouting at them?

We have to find the root
of the evil at Energreen.

We'll make a list of people to interview
and split up...

I'm staying here, Mads.

- What?
- No more interviews.

- We have to do some proper police work.
- Like staring at that screen?

- That's how we solve cases here.
- How many per year?

Then go talk to folks.
Meet people. I'll solve this on my own.

- You need me.
- Yeah, right.

6 MISSED CALLS
KRISTINA

- What's going on?
- What?

What the hell are you doing?
You know what I'm talking about.

Tell me now if you want to see
my daughter and your son again.

Are you threatening me?

She's my daughter!

Stop it, Jan!
Some Serbs are blackmailing us.

- What? You don't have any money.
- Bimse and I found some cash.

- I'll fucking kill you.
- Lots of money, Jan.

- Two million euros.
- Two million euros? What the hell?

It's true.

Out!

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

I'll get those Serbs to stay away.

How?

I know some people.

What's that? I don't want anything
from you. You ruined us.

It was never our intention.

I should take you to court.

The company isn't yours. You sold it to us.

- I'll tear you to pieces!
- Don't do anything stupid.

You have a choice. You can
play a part in this going forward.

Study the figures before you decide.

Is this supposed to shut me up? Is that it?

Look at the figures.

Come along, sweetie.

Bye, Grethe!

Where's Henriette?

I think she's in the file room.

Something is bothering you, isn't it?

- No. What could be bothering me?
- You tell me.

I'm tired of people being full of shit.

Look what I found.

It's the takeover of the North Sea farm.
Look who represents DanStrmm.

- Alexander Sodergren.
- He worked for DanStrmm.

- Should we do some proper police work?
- Let's find the dirt on him back then.

Here!

It's the minutes from a management group
that Sander was in.

I'll be damned. With the permanent secretary.

There's your connection.

Ulrik Skov was CFO of a company
that went bankrupt

just before it could be rescued.

Then he sold it at a favourable price
to DanStrmm.

Sander's friend, the permanent secretary
at the Ministry of Energy told him

that subsidies for wind energy
would rise considerably.

Then Sander became CEO of Energreen

and hired Ulrik Skov.

Take a look at this.
Energreen had a deficit for two years,

until Ulrik Skov was hired.

- Four years with a profit.
- It's amazing what a CFO can do.

Energreen's management cooked the books.

Are you okay? Ulrik?

- I'm fine.
- How are Karin and the girls?

Fine, thanks. The kids are driving me crazy.

Three against one isn't fair.

I don't know if I can do this.

Of course you can.

There, there.

I'm sorry.

- Are you in love with him?
- No.

I don't know.

Mads...

I love you.

I can't do this.

You said to stay away from bikers.

- They aren't bikers.
- No, just people who like motorcycles.

How could I know that
