- Where are we going? - To the house tonight, then we'll see.
Go, go, go.
Everything's here. Everything's here.
Annika Melander, born 1985. Came to the foster home at nine.
You don't have to look so sad, I'll only be gone for the day.
Claes Sandberg - CHOOSE HAPPINESS ON TOUR
So you're saying your mum burgles you and programmes your PC
to send you a mail which results in you being alone when she kills herself?
But she makes it look as if she's been murdered?
- Down, I said! - Drop the gun!
Call an ambulance!
It's not just your fault. I should have acted earlier.
I must finish this. I promised Hans.
You must take time off.
You said everyone gets a second chance.
This is your second chance.
- Jeanette? - Where are they?
Damn it!
Jeanette!
EPISODE 9
Where are you taking him?
Hey.
How are you?
I am not good at not working, but your investigation keeps me occupied.
Have you had any thoughts?
I have just started.
Thank you.
I have nothing else to do.
Where were you earlier?
Why do you want to know?
Because I'm concerned about you.
I was at the railroad crossing by Arrie Road.
Why?
Because my sister killed herself there.
Did your sister commit suicide?
Yes. Jennifer.
And you went there?
Yes.
Why?
It felt good being there.
Do you want me to stay?
No, I want you to find the one who killed Hans.
OK.
Hey.
- Henrik... - Yes.
This is Rasmus Larsson. He works with you for now.
Rasmus, Henrik Sabroe, Copenhagen PD.
Hello.
Get him up to date. Focus on our main suspect.
Rasmus Larsson.
All right.
I don't know what Saga has said about me, but I am a bloody good cop.
Are you?
I wouldn't think, then, you would have to point it out.
This is Annika Melander's file. Our prime suspect.
She is in there.
Take this.
Jeanette?
Jeanette? Hello?
Hello?
Can you hear me, Jeanette?
Freddie! She has given birth.
Stop the bleeding, damn it.
Jeanette?
Hello? Hello?
Jeanette?
What's going on?
- What are you doing here? - It's our surrogate mother.
She was abducted and we tracked her here.
He took the child.
My son.
You'll have to come with us.
We will follow you.
You will stay here to relate everything that the forensics uncover.
OK.
Wait a minute.
Linn.
Annika Melander has Freddie's child.
She abducted their surrogate mother, who has given birth, and the boy is gone.
How is the mother?
Critical.
She has lost a lot of blood.
Linn, it's a new-born boy.
We will employ all our resources.
All?
Yes. Everyone.
Good.
Jeanette's surname?
Jeanette Nielsen.
I put a tracking device in her mobile.
You didn't trust her?
I don't trust a lot of people.
What are you doing? How will you find him?
Did you find her using that tracking device?
Yes.
No. Not the first time. They have a cottage in Sweden.
Who are "they"?
Her and her boyfriend, Marc. He was dead and she was gone when we arrived.
Wait a second. He was dead?
Shot.
Marc? Marc, who?
- Skov. - Marc Skov.
You didn't think to call the police?
We had to find Jeanette.
- We didn't have time. - Are you serious?
Listen.
Give me the address for the cottage.
Annika Melander, have you recalled anything?
No.
You know that I know what you're going through, right?
We will work relentlessly to find your son.
He is coming.
- Hey. - Hey.
Good to see you.
Yes.
- We can leave. - Wait. Soon.
I think Claes has taken our baby.
Claes Sandberg?
He said he was going to crush Freddie.
When did he say that?
When they met a couple of days ago. He revealed that I wasn't pregnant.
How did he find that out?
I told him.
I thought that he...
Claes can be very manipulating,
and all this with the surrogate mother has been tough for Freddie and me.
I needed someone to talk to.
And you chose your ex-husband?
I didn't know that he hated us.
Did he say that?
He said that he wanted to hurt us as much as he could.
Did we release Sandberg too early?
He has no connections with the victims, and an alibi for several of the murders.
Yes...
But he would like to get back at Holst.
She was obsessed with Sandberg.
And Holst wasn't exactly nice to him.
If Sandberg is as manipulative as Asa claims, he may have made Annika Melander
help with the murders and make them point to Freddie Holst's art.
Especially if she is obsessed by him.
Art that was his, back in the day.
Two killers, he shoots, she creates the art.
OK. Claes Sandberg must be questioned again.
Understood. We will stand by.
Have you never wanted children?
Why do you ask?
It's just a question.
There are plenty of things I don't have. Why children in particular?
I just thought about it. You don't have to answer.
I am not interested in taking care of children.
It would interfere with my job. And I don't think I would manage.
Why wouldn't you be able to do that?
That type of empathic interaction with others is not my forte.
It is ready.
Saga Norén, Malmö CID.
Yes, we are here now. Claes Sandberg is not here.
Saga.
Yes. Then we know.
Jeanette Nielsen woke up. The local police found the boyfriend shot thrice in the chest.
Why wasn't that found during the search of the premises?
Maybe it wasn't there at the time.
It's the right calibre.
Let's issue a search for Claes Sandberg.
Have you seen this person?
I heard shots, but no one is telling me anything.
Do you recognise him?
I don't know.
Look at the photo!
What has happened to Marc?
What about her?
I don't remember anything.
Someone helped you. Didn't you see who?
What has happened to Marc?
He is dead!
What about the baby?
We don't know.
We don't know yet.
We are both very sorry for what you have experienced.
Yes, we are.
What the hell...
Asa .
What has happened?
You won't see him, right?
Darling, all the ones he has killed... He will kill you, too. He is mad.
He has our son.
You can't go there. You must call the police.
Then he will be killed.
No, no. You mustn't go.
Move.
Hi.
- Hey. - What are you doing here?
I came in when you were off. I am a part of the investigation now,
until we find the baby.
Did you replace me?
Yes.
Come. The search of the cellar is done.
This was in the room where Holst found Jeanette.
Seven rooms are furnished. I'm sure you recognise them.
One murder in each room.
A lot of blood was also found.
It will be analysed, but it was found in different locations,
so it is likely from several persons.
This is something new.
Next murder. Freddie and the baby.
Who is the third one?
Asa Holst, perhaps .
Maybe they are unknown people that are already dead.
We just haven't found them.
Henrik Sabroe.
Anything more?
My report.
Excuse me?
Where are they meeting?
OK. Thank you.
Hello?
I am here.
POLICE. STUPID.
No!
Move away!
No! My son!
- It is empty. - My son!
It is empty. The stroller is empty.
It's empty!
He saw us coming.
He told me to go on my own.
Yes, but it was stupid to do that.
He would have killed my son.
This was found in the tower up there.
The stroller was lit when we arrived. Freddie was supposed to come closer.
Why?
For him to shoot me?
No. You weren't supposed to die here. He was going to abduct you.
To where? And why?
His plan is to kill you in a different way.
A different location.
What? I don't...
How am I supposed to die?
He will try again. We will be handling your protection from now on.
And my son?
If he gets me, will he then let my son go?
Probably not.
But it is a possibility?
Previous experience suggests that the perpetrator will kill you both.
She is often straight to the point. But she is right.
We will take you home, you will stay there and call us if he gets in touch.
Freddie, this is the best option to save your son.
How did it go?
The perpetrator used the baby to get close to Holst, likely to kill them both.
- Surveillance must be increased. - Yes.
I want one of us there, too. Will you go and assist the Danish police?
Absolutely.
Sandberg's agent doesn't know where he is.
He cancelled a lecture today with only one day's notice.
Did he say why?
Personal reasons.
Anything new about Annika Melander?
We have no idea where any of them are.
Hey, John.
- Hi. - Welcome back.
Thank you.
How's Julia?
Much better. She will stay two days in the hospital, then come home.
OK.
I went through all we had, but found no connection between Sandberg and Anker.
Did we think there was one?
I wondered why he called him his "brother."
We think it's because it was dark and Morten was a bit...
I am sorry for what happened to your daughter.
It wasn't your fault.
Yes, it was. I committed a gross malfeasance.
She is OK, Saga. That is what is important.
Good. Here you are. For Julia.
"Support in times of accidents, catastrophes and difficult situations,
"strengthening people's resilience."
Thank you! It may be a bit heavy.
She is still struggling with My Little Pony.
You can read it out loud to her.
Yes, perhaps I can do that. Thank you.
You're welcome.
We think Annika Melander and Claes Sandberg took Freddie's baby.
To hurt Freddie.
But why the baby? She could have sent a photo showing she had Jeanette,
but she waited until the baby was born before she made contact.
Child abductions are often related to inheritance.
Or jealousy.
Heritage. What do we know about their parents?
Sandberg's parents are dead.
The dad died recently at a hospice here in Malmö.
What do we know about Annika Melander's dad?
Bror Holmberg.
- At five, he waived parental responsibility. - Why?
It didn't say.
Find his phone number.
You called the police.
Yes.
It could have got our son killed.
You may have died otherwise. Isn't that what the police said?
You can't be mad at me, because I don't want to lose you.
I just don't understand why you don't care about our son.
I care, I long for...
I really hope nothing happens to him, and that he comes home to us,
but if I had to choose between him and you...
I'm sorry, I can't help it.
Come here.
What if we hadn't started all this?
It wouldn't have changed anything.
The threat has nothing to do with our son.
Someone wants to hurt us.
Annika wasn't my daughter.
How did you find out?
Renate, her mother,
told me at a doctor's visit, where...
It was obvious that Annika couldn't be mine.
Did she say who the biological father was?
- No. - Never?
No.
And when Renate died?
We had been divorced for three years.
But Annika did not end up with you?
I had a new family then.
I didn't see a reason to take care of a girl that wasn't mine.
Did she want you to take care of her?
Do you need to know that?
Yes. We think Annika wants revenge on people who she feels have let her down.
So did she want you to take care of her?
OK.
But...
I said no.
Bror Holmberg and his family get increased protection.
It could be Bror Holmberg and Freddie Holst in the doll house.
We will ask Holst if he remembers Renate Melander.
Why would he remember her?
He may have had sex with her.
Yes, but it was in the '80s.
Don't you remember everyone you have had sex with?
Not at all. Do you?
- Yes. - OK.
Are you wondering if you were the best?
The best what?
That I have had sex with.
No.
It is otherwise common that men want to know if they are the best.
I don't think about that.
But if I did wonder?
You are not the best.
Who is that?
Renate Melander. Annika Melander's mother.
- Do you recognise her? - No.
- Did you sleep with her in 1984? - What?
Did you have sex with her in 1984? Unprotected sex.
I was only 17.
One can be sexually active at 17. I have been, since I was 15.
Yes, but I can't remember who I had sex with 30 years ago. Why do you want to know?
We're looking at the possibility that you may be Annika Melander's dad.
I am not her dad.
Did you have sex with Renate Melander in 1984 or not?
You are asking a lot of stupid questions instead of finding my son.
Do you have an artwork named Dad?
No.
Anything that could relate to a hanging?
Does he want to hang me?
Just answer the question.
Could anything in your art tell us where they are?
No.
Hello, this is Claes.
Suss here. Where have you been? Why don't you answer?
I've been a bit busy.
The police have been looking for you all day.
Hello. Claes?
Hello?
I can't hear you, Suss.
Can't you hear me? The police have been looking for you.
If you can hear me, I will call later.
The police have...
Claes Sandberg's agent called.
She talked to Claes. It was disconnected when she mentioned the police.
Damn it.
If he wasn't already hiding, he certainly will be.
Sorry...
I know you are busy, but could I talk to Saga a few minutes?
Not really.
It won't take long.
My investigation is done. It will be handed over to a prosecutor,
so I want you to read your statements
and sign this.
There was gunfire on your floor, I was told.
You won't talk to me about that.
A colleague will look into that.
You can take it with you.
Wait here.
Are you asleep?
It's me.
- Have you found him? - No.
I'm sorry.
Forgive me. Marc is dead and the baby is gone.
It is my fault because I ran away.
No.
Please don't think like that. Nothing happens because of a single action.
Will someone take care of you when you get out of here?
I'll probably live with my mother for a while.
You can stay with us as long as you want.
You must see him.
That's him.
Jan Frederik Holst.
Jan.
Don't you like it?
I do.
He could be a Jan.
Why did you turn on the TV?
I did that because my girls are here.
- And Alice? - No.
Just the girls.
I think it's the stuff about
Holst and his baby
that tears open old wounds inside me.
That's the way it is.
Is there anything I can do?
What do you want to do?
Saga, wake up.
They caught Claes Sandberg overnight. He is in Malmö.
Come. We have to go.
Hurray...
- Hey. - Good morning.
Have you found her?
Who?
Annika.
What has she told you?
What do you think she has told us?
So, you haven't found her?
Where is she?
I don't know. Why am I here again?
Why do you have a gun?
Since the last time I was here, I got it.
You said she was a murderer, and she is obsessed with me.
Where have you been?
- In Växjö. - Why?
I have buried my father.
Alone?
Yes.
The stuff between you and Freddie Holst...
He sold your business, stole your art and married your wife.
You told us that was good for you.
But that wasn't quite true, was it?
I had to deal with my life.
You wanted to destroy his business and him.
Who has said that?
Isn't that correct?
I wanted to sabotage things for Freddie, but I would never hurt him physically.
I did reveal that they had bought a surrogate mother,
and that Asa wasn't pregnant But that was it ..
Where is Annika?
I don't know. She went to Gothenburg and didn't come back.
- Can I go now? - What do you think?
Not here, nor there. No.
Claes has an alibi for the murder of Marc, and the abduction of Jeanette.
Fuck.
I have re-created all texts and phone calls, and nothing to Annika Melander.
He could have a second phone?
I checked the towers where he has been, and no one contacted Annika from them.
So if Sandberg is not involved in this...
- Do we let him go? - Not yet.
- But Annika Melander... - She can be Holst's daughter.
It would explain why everything points to Holst.
We have spoken to him and his wife, they know none of the victims.
Ask everyone. Cast a wide net. We must find her and the baby.
That guy.
He was here a few months back.
He seemed confused. Like he was on drugs.
I asked him to leave.
Yes?
Johan? Is that you?
- Who are you looking for? - My dad.
Not my dad. The real one, I mean.
- You should have both been here. - No.
Please leave the premises.
I thought he was someone else.
I'm not the only one.
Is he in there? My dad?
No, he isn't.
Please leave immediately.
He stayed there for a bit.
Who is it?
Morten Anker. "Both of us should have been here," he said.
Who does he mean?
His brother?
- Do you remember us? - You interrupted my wife's funeral. What?
We have to ask you a few questions regarding Morten.
I have to pick up Elias. Make it quick.
The evening Morten was at your place, did he talk about his father?
- Yes. - What did he say?
He wondered if Willy knew that Helle was dead.
He talked about him as if he was still alive, but he was confused.
Did he say "Willy" or "Dad"?
I think he said "Dad."
For how long did Willy and Helle try to have a child before they got Morten?
I don't know. For a long time. Years.
But not until she started the fertility clinic did she get pregnant?
What do you mean?
That perhaps Morten wasn't Willy's.
- He was. - How do you know?
I just know. Helle kept nothing from me.
Only 4% of the population says they are honest with their partner.
- Was that all? - That was great. Thank you.
- Hello. - Hello, Jørgen Drachmann, Head of Clinic.
Henrik Sabroe, Copenhagen Police.
Saga Norén, Malmö CID.
I understand this is about an insemination that could have happened here in the '80s.
Yes.
We can't open our records, not even to the police.
It's about a murder investigation.
I know. It is sensitive information. We can't risk a lawsuit.
What if we have a warrant?
That's another matter.
We will do that, then. We'll come back.
Be my guest.
Yes.
That's great. Bye.
Lillian will get us the warrant. How should we pass the time?
We go to where Jeanette Nielsen was found.
Rasmus has already checked that.
And?
OK. Let's do that.
What is this?
Lars-Ove Abrahamsson probably died here.
He was tied up, the noose put around the genitals, tightened with the winch...
Thank you. I understand.
But Annika Melander...
Is there no clue here as to where she might be?
No.
According to John, the area has been abandoned since 2007.
OK.
Saga.
Tyre tracks.
Goodyear Vector 4, 195-65-R15. Worn on the inside.
- How can you see that? - I can't. It was a joke.
One thing is for certain, someone came from there or drove there.
Should we take a look?
This looks new.
The padlock?
Yes.
Looks like drag marks.
It's Annika Melander!
Is she alive?
Yes. Annika!
Annika? Can you hear me?
John, it's Henrik. We need an ambulance to where Jeanette Nielsen was found.
Exactly.
Annika! Annika!
Can you hear me?
Saga.
Look at this room.
The cellar at the Johanssons'.
Yes.
What do you think?
Claes Sandberg was the last to see her. Perhaps he didn't need her any more.
What about the room?
Sandberg hasn't seen the foster home.
As far as we know.
OK.
We need to talk to all 27 foster children about that room.
I'll start with Emil Larsson.
- Emil. - Saga Norén, Malmö CID.
There was a room in your foster parents' cellar. Did anyone live there?
What?
A room in the cellar, with a bed and a vat. Did anyone live there?
No idea. We weren't allowed down there.
You were never there?
No, it was forbidden. Filip forbade us.
Do you know who Claes Sandberg is?
- No. - You have never heard that name?
- He was never at your house? - Not that I know.
Thank you.
Thanks.
I know nothing of a room in the cellar.
Why not?
- We weren't allowed... - Never?
When I lived there, the basement was locked.
Did Annika Melander ever talk about her dad?
- Yes. - What did she say?
She didn't like him. She felt abandoned.
Did she say why?
When her mum died, the father didn't want to take care of her.
Bror Holmberg?
He wasn't her real dad. Did she ever talk about her biological dad?
Wasn't he her dad?
No, I just told you. Did she ever talk about someone else?
No. Never.
It's Henrik.
- Yes. - What did you do the night before last?
OK.
- I worked. - Can someone here corroborate that?
Yes, my colleagues.
What are their names? We need to talk to them.
Saga.
John has reached five of the foster children, none of them know about the room.
LAST CHANCE
Can you make it?
Ten or 15 minutes maybe.
Good. Do not turn it off.
You have to work quickly.
Where are you going? Freddie!
We'll follow him.
- Freddie, wait! - Put these on.
Check if he knows where it's heading.
It's Linn.
Saga Norén, Malmö CID.
Freddie Holst has dropped his security.
For goodness' sake!
How could he do that?
He used a helicopter.
Why didn't they stop him?
They have no right to. He is not a suspect.
If the transponder is on, Kastrup should be able to track him.
John got in contact with them just now.
The transponder is on.
Did you hear? The transponder is on.
Good. Do the Danish police have a helicopter nearby?
We don't have a helicopter. We use yours from Gothenburg.
It's on its way here. Rasmus follows as best he can. He is in contact with John.
Just go. I'll take this.
Rasmus, where are you now?
Strandlodsvej.
Good. Then turn left, northbound.
OK. Yes.
Where is the helicopter now?
Heading south-east towards a big industrial area.
Wait!
Where should I go?
I don't know. Kastrup can't see it any longer. It must have landed.
- Where? - They don't know for sure. Where are you?
In an industrial area. Yderlandsvej.
Good. Keep going north. Backup should be there soon.
Hello!
I'm here now.
I'm alone, like you told me to be.
Yes, that looks fine.
What is it that you want to know?
We might know the name of the donor.
That won't help. Everything is saved by the mother's name.
OK. Check Renate Melander.
Hello.
Come out, damn it!
There is no match.
Nothing at all?
No.
OK.
Can't we find the person without the mother's name?
No. Unless you have a code.
A code?
All mothers are registered with a code.
L369G42.
Hello!
What do you want to know?
Everything.
The donor was Freddie Holst. There is one confirmed pregnancy.
And the mother?
The mother...
Anna Maria Larsson.
Hello, Dad.
