Helle Anker. Fabian Christensen. Hans Pettersson.
Spectacular, staged, lit.
Bloody hell!
- What are you doing here? - Saying hello to my girlfriend.
- How was Copenhagen? - Nice.
Eurovision star in secret tryst
- The payment on the house is due today! - Is that today?
Get a bag in Sweden and bring it here.
- Resolve it. - I will, Freddie.
Your father died this morning. Now it's just you and me, Saga.
Stop following me around, or I'll report you.
Bye, Dad.
I hope that my life's story has demonstrated to you
that happiness actually is a choice.
- Would you like me to come in for a while? - Come on in.
- What is this? - An investigation. A cold case.
Missing persons.
Reported missing
Just get in.
- Haven't I seen you before? - I don't think so.
I remember faces. I have seen you.
EPISODE 5
Is everything OK? You're not saying much.
What do they think I've done? What's the car been involved in?
No idea, but stop worrying. They've let it go.
- How was your job interview? - Good, I think. I'm going back Tuesday.
I'll keep my fingers crossed. Let me know if you want to go over anything.
- Lukas. Phone call for you. - Who is it?
I don't know.
Lukas here.
Hello?
I have no idea who shot me.
- Some maniac. - Come on.
- Maniacs don't fire from rooftops. - I thought that's what they did.
The call suggests that you were not a random target.
We'll strike maniac from the list.
- Any other suggestions? - Saga Norén, Malmö CID.
I'm thinking sniper, military, kill brothers...
Yes, we can do that. In 45 minutes.
Come on.
Does she know? About your little vice.
I found out where I know you from. Have you told her?
- What do you want? - To let you know what I know.
I might need a favour one day.
- You can forget about that. - So you say.
Lars-Ove Abrahamsson's sister is back. We have to go to Sweden.
Have a nice trip.
We'll be back.
- That investigation you handed me... - Yes?
Regarding a woman and two children with the surname Sabroe. Relatives of yours?
My wife and my two daughters.
I went to work one morning just over six years ago.
I said "goodbye" and "see you tonight".
When I got home, they were gone. Disappeared.
- Was your wife depressed? - No.
- Did they have reason to want to leave? - You mean did I hit them or something?
- I didn't mean anything. I asked. - No, there was no reason.
Nothing in the case notes suggests that she's been the victim of a crime.
They were just gone.
Does it change anything? That they're my family.
Will you still help me?
Yes, but not now.
Margareta Abrahamsson?
Saga Norén, Malmö CID. Henrik Sabroe, Copenhagen police.
- This is regarding your brother. - I am deaf.
- She is deaf. - Thank you, I understood that much.
- You know sign language, too? - Not enough to interrogate someone.
The interpreter's coming, so we'll have to wait.
Hi.
- My brother and I were estranged. - When did you last see him?
That was a long time ago.
The eighties... 1981, maybe.
You haven't seen your brother in 35 years?
- No. - Why? What happened?
I had a child.
Don't you know anything about him?
That he had to change jobs constantly and go from school to school.
No.
There were complaints from the pupils.
There were reports made to the police.
But... Well, nothing came of it. No charges were ever brought.
Sexual assaults?
Yes. Amongst other things.
He was sick.
Do the names Hans Pettersson and Helle Anker mean anything to you?
No.
And you have no additional information on your brother?
There was no contact.
It... Well, I can't help you.
Karin, hi.
- I'm visiting. - I can see that.
We were married 25 years. He is the father of my children.
- I have every right to visit him. - Of course.
But you're not married any longer and I'm not the reason you were divorced.
- I know what I know. - I thought so.
This is how it's going to be, when I'm here, you're not.
And I'm here now.
There...
What is it?
It looks like some sort of burn mark.
Saga? It's me.
Hi. You're here now?
Yes. You may have missed something. In the mouths of the victims.
- Henrik Sabroe, Copenhagen police. - I'm working on the last victim.
Latest. Latest victim. We don't know if this is the last victim.
Anyway, he died of blood loss caused by damage to the genitalia.
- He was alive when they were cut off? - They were not so much cut as torn off.
Do you know how?
Probably a slowly accelerating force rather than torn off suddenly.
- It took time? - Yes.
- What may I have missed? - Lower jaw between cheek and teeth.
- Oh, damn it... - Excuse me.
- Well, well... - Jesus Christ!
The other victims?
- No, nothing there. - It confirms our copycat suspicion.
What about Helle Anker?
We released the body. She's being buried today.
Saga Norén, Malmö CID.
We need to open the coffin and examine the body.
- What? - We need to examine the body.
No, you can't do that.
- This is a police matter. - You will not open the coffin!
- Sorry, I know this is very difficult. - Then don't do it!
We have to do it. We'll take a couple photos and you can carry on in a minute.
Unless we need to take her away for examination.
- But that is highly unlikely. - We don't know until we've had a look.
You can't do this!
Shut the doors.
We'll wait out here.
She has one, too. Come here. Hold this.
Thank you.
There. They can get on with the funeral.
Unless you've overlooked more things.
- I haven't overlooked anything else. - You missed the mark in the mouth.
- You've known me for how long? - Since February 22, 2001.
- Do you have confidence in me? - Yes, you are very professional.
- There you go, then. - But you overlooked the burn mark.
- We'll be taking her with us. - No, you can't!
Yes. Or else we wouldn't do it.
Please don't! I can't do this again.
- Have you never lost someone? - Yes, but it wasn't a police matter.
We'll arrange transport.
So there was a mark? Why a branding mark?
Historically it has denoted ownership. Or been used as punishment.
- Ownership marks would be visible. - So punishment, then.
Did your father make his wishes known? In writing or verbally?
No. While he was well he thought he'd live forever, and when he got ill...
It felt awkward to bring it up. It's very common.
But... What do you think he wanted? Burial or cremation?
How can you stand spending your day among all this death?
You get used to it.
Promise me you won't laugh. I don't have your way with words.
It makes me appreciate life.
You're never more alive than when everything around you is dead.
- That sounds silly, right? - No, not at all.
I could have written that.
- Feel free to use it if you like. - Thanks.
And me.
- Here? - If you like.
No. No... No, no.
- I'm sorry. - You're the boss. Tonight, maybe?
I have theatre tickets.
I already have plans.
Of course you do.
So where were we? Burial or cremation?
I'm home!
Hi.
You took the money. My money.
After all the shit we've been through, you're gambling again.
Yes, but I won.
24,600. For the house. For the down payment.
- Aren't you happy? - You just don't get it, do you?
No, apparently not.
Good thing you are so beautiful and wonderful
and smart and wise and amazing and that you love silly little me.
- You're hopeless. - I know.
Saga!
- You took the body from the funeral. - Yes, it was released too soon.
This kind of police intervention requires a great deal of empathy.
You should have informed me and I would have sent someone else.
- Why? The result would be the same. - It would have been handled differently.
You should focus on what you're good at, Saga.
This kind of interaction with other people is not your forte.
I always conduct the entire investigation.
You did. With Hans. Not any longer.
I want to be kept informed, and certain things will require a joint action plan.
- OK? - Yes.
Can you zoom in? There could be more people in the car.
I can get a little closer.
Hey... What did Linn want?
To limit my powers.
- Who is that? - Julia, my daughter.
What is she doing here?
Mia has a night shift, and the sitter couldn't do it.
John found footage from the night of the Anker murder.
The van is the youth centre's.
- Is she staying? She's an outsider. - She's seven.
- We don't know who she talks to. - No one, I promise.
This is the best I can do on the driver.
Wow. Whoever it is doesn't want to be recognised.
Why would Mehmet hide his identity if he was just visiting his girlfriend?
Exactly.
Hi there, Mehmet! How's it going?
- What now? - Just a simple question.
That night you were in Sweden... How were you dressed?
- Dressed? - What were you wearing?
- I got that, but I don't remember. - Try. Concentrate.
Did you forget your cap at your girlfriend's, maybe?
- Maybe. - Or didn't you wear a cap at all?
- I don't remember. - You can't remember.
OK. Then you'll have to come with us.
- Now? - A few hours in a small room will help.
OK, but I have to get my backpack.
- We'll come with you. - That we will.
- I need to go to the toilet. - Give me your phone.
Where is the toilet?
Yes.
What should I say?
Mehmet, come on.
- What is it? - Now I remember what I was wearing.
Grey track suit bottoms, white T-shirt, blue hoodie, cap and sunglasses.
- And you remembered this just now? - I felt stressed and had to think.
It's unusual to remember in such detail what you initially couldn't recall.
Her way of saying she doesn't believe you.
Someone told you what to say.
Well?
And you've deleted the call history, of course.
- We can recreate that from the phone. - That's right.
We are investigating four murders, and a police chief is in a coma.
- You want some of that to stick to you? - What do you mean?
- It's not open to interpretation. - Her way of calling you an idiot.
- No, it isn't. - Don't be an idiot, Mehmet. Look at me.
Now tell me who you talked to.
Who told you what to say?
Come on!
Lukas. It was Lukas.
Henrik Sabroe, Copenhagen police.
Your patient Lukas Stenstrup is not to leave the hospital.
No, he's not here.
- Where is Viola? - She's with Mother. She doesn't know.
- Do I have to start? - No, sorry.
I just don't know what to say. You saw the photos.
Was it the first time?
- No. - Damn it, Anna! With Benjamin.
You and I are one thing, but how the hell could you do that to Eva?
It wasn't real. It was undemanding, easy. An escape.
But it's over now.
And here I am with us and Eva and Mum and the press...
That's what's real.
Anna, it was a mistake, right?
I will stand by your side in public. I will support you.
In public? Did you talk to mother?
Yes. We agreed to put the incident behind us very quickly.
So the company, Viola and you and I are hurt as little as possible.
"The company, Viola and you and I." In that order?
I'd like to think I'm more understanding than most men in my situation would be.
It's me again.
Please call me.
Benjamin?
- Why don't you answer my calls? - Because I don't want to talk to you.
- How are you? - Fine.
I don't mind that it's out. I'm more concerned about Anna.
All this is her fault.
What?
Nothing is her fault. We love each other.
I know what you're thinking, but she loves me, too.
- Benjamin... - We're meant to be together.
What does she say about all this?
Hasn't she called? She's using you...
She isn't! She loves me.
Now do you see why I don't want to talk to you?
We own a house. It's ours.
- Come on. - It needs a lot of work.
We'll do as much as we think is fun and get someone to do the rest.
- Come on. Aren't you happy? - I'm happy when you are. It's just...
- It's a bit far from everything. - You need to be far from everything.
Copenhagen isn't good for you.
We're starting over. Just you and me, OK?
Come on, I want to show you the porch and the swings.
Don't you think it could be great? Look at this and the garden.
- We can have a swimming pool there. - A pool? Why not.
- Can I take a picture? - Sure.
Nice.
We should insert "easily". "Easily the biggest mistake..."
I won't say it, Mum.
The whole public apology thing is just magnifying things.
We don't just sell houses, Anna. We sell values.
I have to think of Benjamin.
No, you don't.
Seriously, Anna. How could you sleep with a 17-year-old?
Does his age matter?
If it had been someone your own age, you'd simply have been unfaithful.
Now you're unfaithful and pathetic.
I care about him. I really do.
We'll continue, then. "Easily the biggest mistake..."
We have a warrant out in both countries. We're watching the centre and his home.
Plus Lukas Stenstrup's usual haunts. Why did you let Mehmet call him?
I didn't let him call. He called.
It was my fault.
It didn't occur to me that he might have an extra phone.
- Anything else? - We have a preliminary forensics report.
Traces of foreign DNA in the centre car.
They're checking for a Helle Anker match, but there are no traces of blood.
No traces at all?
Is it possible to drive around with a body without it leaving traces?
You don't think he did it?
The car was in Sweden. It drove past some cameras. That's all we have.
He flees the hospital, stays hidden.
Do we know why he would do that?
No.
Anything else?
On Lars-Ove Abrahamsson's computer, there was a lot of child pornography.
That could explain the missing genitalia.
I've passed it on. Maybe the victims can be identified.
Go through his jobs and every pupil he's taught.
- There must be thousands. - Get help.
Start with police complaints and search for matches with our investigation.
- Nothing else? See you tomorrow. - I have to go, too.
Julia, come along. I have a date.
- But you're not taking her, right? - I plan to. Tina knows I have a child.
That doesn't mean she'd like to meet her.
- Here. - Is that for me?
- What's that? - Nice.
It's you, him and Dad.
You can't tell.
Never mind her.
It's very nice. And so are you.
What's going on with you and Linn?
She's questioning me and my work. I'm not used to it.
Say something, then. Don't just stand there and take it.
You're the best she's got, and she knows it.
What if it isn't so?
What if Hans swept all my mistakes under the carpet?
No. Hans made sure you could focus on your job.
- Do you want me to talk to her? - About what?
We're a team. She should encourage us, not break us.
You're too good to stand there doubting yourself.
Thanks.
Asa! Asa, come here Look this way! .
I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
Those of you who know me know that my parents struggled.
We didn't go to the cinema very often or eat in restaurants.
But we'd go to art galleries.
"You can never see too much beauty, " my father would say.
And it was free for children.
But not everything was beautiful.
Art could also be disturbing. Demanding. And frightening.
It made me think about life.
It gave me a sense of direction.
I suppose this is what art can do.
Now we have a shitload of money.
Me and my beautiful, intelligent wife, Asa.
Come here, Asa.
We can buy all the art we want.
And the art we can't buy, we can travel around the world to see.
But not everyone is so fortunate.
This is why we have made a donation for this museum to build a new gallery section.
But...
But while we wait,
I'm exhibiting works from my private collection
so more people can enjoy them, and maybe that will propel them
into the world of art and consequently of life. Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen, Freddie Holst.
Jeanette, you're not regretting this, are you?
- Not at all. Are you? - No. Not if you're not.
- Hey, take a look. What's that? - Wow...
Nice, right?
Marc!
Are you hurt? Are you in pain? Are you OK?
- I'm OK. - OK...
Roll down your window.
- Stay here. - What?
- Stay right here. - Yes.
- Marc? Marc? - Look at me. You were alone in the car.
- What? - Say, "I was alone in the car."
- I was alone in the car. - Good. Nice music.
Jeanette! Who are you?
You stay here.
Go.
It's not impossible. It depends. But these ones are...
Nice speech.
- Hi, Claes. - Freddie.
- Long time. - Very long.
I hadn't expected to see you.
I hadn't expected an invitation. Yet here we are.
Freddie? Let's have a picture, OK?
You've put on a bit of weight, haven't you?
- Claes. So that was you. - Yes.
Sorry, I have to get this.
I was congratulating Freddie. On the belly and this exhibition.
Yes. Thank you.
Very beautiful to look at.
But then I thought so before, when I owned a large number of these pieces.
Colbert, Colbert... Just do what we agreed.
- You look like you're doing well. - I am. Better than in a long time.
Are you Claes Sandberg? Could you come with me, please?
- Of course. Has something happened? - No.
- Hi, Claes. - Do you know her?
Yes, I do.
- What are you doing here? - I'm your plus one. Sorry, I'm late.
How did you know I was here?
I saw the invitation at your place.
You are going to let me in, right?
If we sleep together, we can be seen together, right?
Yes, this is my plus one.
Annika Melander, if you have to put it on a list somewhere.
- Weren't you going to the theatre? - This seemed like more fun.
I realise my behaviour has hurt not only my family but our company as well.
Of which you are about to be CEO, or so rumour has it.
What will happen now?
My husband's been very understanding, and we'll work on our relationship.
We both want it to work again.
And the young man?
Well, what can I say?
It was a conscious choice. I'm not blaming anyone, but...
It was a mistake.
How was your day?
We have this guy called Lukas who...
We put a warrant out on him today.
I think he was in Sweden the night of Helle Anker's murder, to deal drugs.
But how do I explain it?
Are you buying from him?
Well, I haven't... I don't think I ever bought anything from him.
But he recognised me, so I don't know where he's seen me.
You know what? I think I'll go out for a while.
- Will you be late? - What? I hope so.
Hey. What are you doing?
I'm reading.
- Do you want some company? - No.
- Do you want to have sex? - That wasn't why I came.
If you do, you can come in. If not, I want to be alone.
How about just watching a film?
- Porn? - No. A regular one.
No. Sex or alone.
- Well, we can have sex if you like. - Good. Come in. Get undressed.
- Asa ? - Yes.
- What was Claes doing at the opening? - I don't know.
- Did you invite him? - No.
So it was a coincidence that your ex was there?
He is famous, you know.
He's very successful with his lectures and books
so the event people probably invited him.
He looked all right. Don't you think?
Yes.
Damn it... Wait a minute. I'll just have a quick word.
- Who was that? - Nobody. Business.
- Can you help me with the zipper? - Sure.
Thanks.
Just a week or two to go.
Do you have any idea how hot this thing is?
I'm going to have a glass of champagne. Do you want one, too?
Jeanette's moved in. She's in the guest house.
I need to manage her and the baby the last few weeks.
- But I was never meant to meet her. - I know.
But nothing must happen to the baby, and she's too impulsive.
Are you surprised?
You chose her, so you handle this somewhere else. Not here.
- Asa, it's for the baby . - She can't stay here. End of discussion.
- There are fine hotels... - Yes.
...where you can stay.
Jeanette stays here until the baby is born. And that's not up for discussion.
Why do I have to be here? It's not OK!
It's for the baby. You have to be more careful.
What are you doing?
No bag smuggling.
No rally driving through the forest. That's my son in your belly.
The doctor says everything's looking good. You just need calm and rest.
If you need anything, just tell me or the staff.
But you're staying here.
- What about Marc? I need to call him. - I talked to him. He knows you're here.
- So that can wait a bit. - No. It can't.
It'll have to. You can't have a phone right now.
Is he kicking?
No, he's just moving about a bit.
Anna? Anna?
She doesn't want to talk to you.
I have to talk to her.
She's seen your calls coming in all day.
If she'd wanted to talk to you, she'd have answered. Don't you think?
Do you think she would leave Viola and all she has
just to be with you? Do you? Well, it's like this...
She had a bit of fun, she got caught, and now it's over.
You saw the interview, right? No one made her do that.
It was a conscious choice. I'm not blaming anyone, but...
It was a mistake.
Easily the biggest mistake of my life.
...mistake.
Easily the biggest mistake of my life.
It was a mistake.
Easily the biggest mistake of my life.
You have a message.
You got a message on your phone.

Hello, Henrik. I think it's about time for that favour.
- Are we alone? - Yes.
What about the wife? And the kids?
They're not home.
You know I have nothing at all to do with those murders, right?
You know why I took the car to Sweden. You're a client.
Who shot you?
I expanded a little too heavily. I have to go away for a while.
- I'm not stopping you. - I'll catch a ferry to Germany.
- Like I said, I'm not stopping you. - I'm wanted in Denmark and Sweden.
I need you to wave your ID, so we can drive straight through, OK?
I can't do that.
You'll bloody well have to.
Or should I send these to your boss?
- How long have you been a user? - I'll drive you, but we're not friends.
Lukas!
- Hi. - What was he doing here?
- He wanted to talk to me. - What about?
He thought we suspected he was involved in the killings of Helle Anker
and Lars-Ove Abrahamsson.
He said he had nothing to do with it. He said it was about drugs.
That's why he made Mehmet lie.
- He confessed to that? - Yes.
- And then? - He wanted to turn himself in.
He wanted to drive to Sweden. To you. That's why we were getting in the car.
- He confessed and agreed to come to us? - Yes.
He was scared shitless. He felt guilty and feared for his life.
What a mess, man. He'd provoked the wrong guys.
- Did you see the gunmen? - I saw the car clearly.
It was a Mercedes C200.
FL 44 559.
Are you OK?
I'll be OK. Of course I'll be OK.
I was disappointed when you didn't come to the service. But not surprised.
You always were a disappointment.
- What did you talk to Linn about? - That's obvious.
How you drove your little sister to suicide, among other things.
- I did not. - No? Fourteen is a difficult age.
Dad and I in prison. A fragile psyche. At the mercy of a cold, disturbed sister.
Are you going to hit me?
You can't hurt me any more than you already have.
Look at me. Look at me.
Poor, poor girl.
- What did my mother want? - I can't say.
Lukas Stenstrup was shot to death outside Henrik's house.
- What was he doing there? - He admitted drug offences.
We'll leave him out of our enquiry for now.
- Why did you even talk to my mother? - She wanted a meeting.
- You never talk to the others' parents. - She asked. Should I have said no?
Yes.
- She lies. - I can't discuss what we talked about.
She lies.
Saga Norén, Malmö CID.
What did you want me to see about?
The mouth burns.
I cleaned them up and examined them more closely.
It looks like some kind of sign.
The same thing with both Hans and Lars-Ove Abrahamsson.
But the signs were different.
It's the Babylonian number system.
It's Linn.
I need help with an old case. Everyone's busy, and I need someone I can trust.
- I'm glad you can help me. - Of course.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Where have you been? - Pathology.
- Did you hear about Lukas? - Yes.
He was shot right in front of me. Died in my arms.
Was he the one who texted you this morning?
No. That wasn't him. Last night, you mean?
Yes. The text I received last night was from him. Yes.
I see.
Gone to the summer house. Will pick up Viola.
Benjamin. Leave a message or text me.
Hi, it's me.
I'm sorry I didn't answer the phone yesterday. I was...
That damned interview. I'm sorry, I had to.
But...
I've been thinking about where I'm happy, and that's with you.
I don't care what people say. What's right for me is to be with you.
I love you.
