Has she really been stoned?
The murder of Margrethe Thormod, head of the Immigration Board...
Go and talk to her husband Niels.
No, they have nothing. Stick to the plan.
- Red October? - Active both here and in Sweden.
No films with them in it, no spokesperson, no manifestos.
The Iranian homo, where is he?
I didn't kill her. She got into a black car.
The call Margrethe received, came from this phone.
I was given it today by two girls.
We have eleven reports of pickpocketing following the same pattern:
A girl pretends to fall ill, the people helping her get robbed.
If they stole it, we must find them.
Violence against women, Dan. Margrethe Thormod was a woman.
And you're the last person to see her alive.
- My daughter's terrified of clowns. - Oh, I'm sorry. I had no idea.
- Would she like a balloon animal? - No, she wouldn't.
Go! Get out of here!
- Patrik Dahlqvist. - Twin brother of Richard Dahlqvist.
- Richard had contact with Red October. - The killer got the wrong man.
- Where's Richard now? - Where the hell is he?
- What's wrong? - I don't know.
EPISODE 3
- Hello. - Hello. Do you have a passport? ID?
Thanks.
Thanks. Have a nice day.
What the hell! What are they playing at?
Fuck!
Get out!
To the front!
Down, down, down!
Look down!
THE BRIDGE
- Have you been in therapy before? - No.
- What made you come here? - I'm not well.
And why do you think that is?
Some sort of post-traumatic stress disorder.
Could you tell me a bit about your background?
From when? My first memories are from when I was four. Is that relevant?
I was thinking more about the background of the events that led you here.
My mum had Munchausen by proxy. She almost killed my little sister.
I made sure my parents went to prison.
I took care of Jennifer. She killed herself at 14.
My boss and friend Hans Pettersson was murdered by Emil Larsson.
He used a paperclip I had brought to his cell to cut his wrists.
I don't know if I left it there by accident or deliberately.
Why would you do so deliberately?
Before when he'd tried to hang himself I wasn't sure if I wanted to save him.
I think I wanted him to die.
I reported my colleague and friend Martin Rohde
for having poisoned his son's murderer. He got ten years in prison.
Then my mum returned.
She killed herself but made it look like I killed her.
I was in prison for just over a year and was released a few days ago.
After having been stabbed in the neck with a broken table tennis bat.
I see...
We've got a bit to work with.
Good.
- How could Richard just disappear? - They must have left by a back door.
- There's nothing on the lobby CCTV. - Where were the guards?
The Swedes were in charge. There was a misunderstanding.
- A misunderstanding? - On the Swedes' part.
- I found him. - How?
It wasn't hard. He's streaming live.
I'm speaking here because Red October have contacted me.
They told me they've nothing to do with the murders
of Margrethe Thormod or my brother Patrik.
He meets them and then goes straight to the media!
And I believe them when they say they're not involved.
They didn't kill my brother, so I urge the police to not get stuck in one track
but to look elsewhere,
so that my brother's killers don't get away with it.
- Where's Saga? - In Malmö. She was meeting someone.
Go get her, and have a word with that idiot.
- What are you doing here? - I'm waiting for you. How did it go?
We have a lot to work with, she said. So it went well.
- And you can keep working? - Yeah, why shouldn't I?
Because yesterday...
That kind of reaction could well be a one-off. I've taken steps.
You're coming with me. I have to show you something.
I urge the police to not get stuck in one track but to look elsewhere...
- He met them? - Yeah.
- Why would they want to meet him? - For credibility? A well-known journalist.
Why take the risk? They've already posted a video where they say the same.
But we continued to investigate them.
Richard Dahlqvist?
- How did they contact you? - They texted me again.
- We've got your phone. - I have another one.
- Where is it now? - They took it. When we met.
OK. What happened next?
I went behind the hotel blindfolded and they came to get me in a car.
- So you never saw them? - No.
That street is one-way and leads to a T-junction.
Did you turn left or right?
- Right, I think. - Good. There are cameras there.
What happened then? Hello?
We drove around and they told me what to say, then they dropped me off.
- Where? - I'm not sure.
- Didn't you remove the blindfold? - Of course.
- In central Malmö? - A bit outside. I don't know where.
Because you don't know where there are cameras.
None of this has happened.
Everything you've done since we met has been to exonerate Red October.
The video, the press release, what you've told us. Everything.
- You are Red October. - Yes.
You were totally on the wrong track.
And you had to find the person who killed Patrik.
- Hi. - Hi. So he made it all up?
He began researching left-wing groups some years ago.
His career didn't take off, so he invented Red October.
That takes idiocy to a whole new level.
You should switch places. You sat there yesterday.
- Yes. - What are the rules?
Is it 24 hours in each place? What are the rules?
There are no rules. That's the good thing about it. Flexibility.
So he was behind the fires and hacking attacks too?
Yeah. We've passed him on to the Swedish Security Service.
He's got nothing to do with the murders of Thormod and Dahlqvist.
No. Now we have to pin our hopes on the girls.
That took a while.
I don't think the Swedes have any idea how much surveillance they have.
But I've found a place with no cameras.
If you turn the corner by that shop and keep going 50 metres
you get to a small square that's really crowded.
OK.
- See you soon. - See you.
No!
She's breathing...
- Are you with her? - She's my little sister.
Is there anyone to call? Your parents?
Their numbers are on my phone, but I don't have it with me.
We're meeting our parents at the station, so we can go there instead.
We need to examine your sister first. You'll have to wait here.
Can't I come in? She doesn't like being alone.
You'll have to wait here. I'll show you to the waiting room.
Hey, handsome!
What's up?
That black car Taariq saw pick up Margrethe Thormod...
What about it?
There are no cameras outside the gay bar. But look...
I got everything from the streets two blocks from there at that time.
- There's a lot of black cars. - How many?
Sixteen. And you can get to and from the gay bar unnoticed.
But I'm thinking... You have a witness.
- Do you have it on file? - It's already on your computer.
What? Just let me know if you need any help.
No, no, I'm good.
I told you I know nothing about cars.
Even so, you could still recognise it.
Do you recognise any?
No.
Are you sure?
Why should I help you?
Because Margrethe wanted to help you. And then she was killed.
Yeah. She tried to help me.
- Are you going to help me? - I can't help with your deportation.
Do you think it's right that I'm being sent back?
No.
But those who can do something about it don't give a shit what I think.
So, can you recognise any?
I know nothing about cars.
Without Red October there's no link between Richard and Margrethe.
And Patrik and Margrethe? He's the one who got killed.
We were so sure the wrong guy got killed so we never checked. I'll do it.
He'll say nothing about the car as long as he's being threatened with deportation.
- Lillian wants you. - Why?
If she'd told me, I'd tell you.
Niels Thormod? Saga Norén, Malmö CID. I'd like to talk about a Patrik Dahlqvist.
I don't know who that is.
No.
I'm sure she didn't know a clown. Or any hospital clown.
Yeah.
But I've never heard of Patrik Dahlqvist. I don't know who that is.
I'm absolutely sure.
Thanks.
You can come with me.
She's fine but needs to take it easy. She's in here, on the right.
- Get up. We have to go. - Now?
Yes. Hurry. Do you remember your name?
- Christine. - Good. Come on.
You need to come with us. You're wanted in Denmark.
As you know, we've got newcomers here. Sofie and Christoffer Björk.
Stand up, so everyone can see you.
We'll all do our best to help you settle in here.
Any other matters to raise? Yes?
I've got a bit of bad news. I've been burgled.
My laptop and camera are gone. It must have happened yesterday.
Like most of you, we never lock our doors. It hasn't been necessary.
Until now, apparently.
Very well. Has anyone seen any strangers in the village?
A car that's not from around here?
Frank, check the gate to see who's come and gone.
I think we should start with a neighbourhood watch.
Maybe do an extra round at night.
No, we won't.
- Aren't we going to do anything? - You're going to sit down and be quiet.
We won't do any extra rounds at night. That's what scared people do.
And scared people are dangerous people who divide the community.
And community is everything.
Remember to drink plenty of water.
I have to go to work for a while. Aunt Sarah will stay with you.
- When will you be back? - As soon as I can.
- Hi! There you are. - Great.
Hello, darling.
- Have a good time. - Sure.
- Love you. - Love you too, Dad.
Now he's gone... Which one do you want?
That one? There you go.
- Are you free? - Yeah.
Where to?
Someone knew about the delivery, so there's a leak.
How much did you get paid?
It wasn't me. I swear!
I've been driving for you for years.
No!
- Who was it? - I don't know!
It wasn't me! I don't fucking know! It wasn't me!
No!
What happened?
There was a car.
A black jeep.
Three masked men in it, and they knew exactly what they were after.
One of them had a birthmark here.
A birthmark?
- Taariq confirmed it's them. - OK. Who are they?
- We have no ID yet. - No one's missing them?
No one's reported them missing,
no one knows their names or dates of birth.
So we don't know if they're on the Social Services register.
- Are we waiting for Social Services? - Yes, we are.
And they're children, so let's go gently.
Yes.
There you go.
- My name's Henrik. - Saga Norén, Malmö CID.
She's not called Malmö CID. That's where she works.
- Can you tell us your name? - Where's my sister?
- In another room. What's your name? - I want to see my sister.
We just want to talk to you first. Then you can see her, OK?
- You stole this. - But we don't care about that.
You won't go to prison or anything.
We just want to know who you stole it from.
- Look at the picture. - I want to see my sister.
Don't you understand what we're saying? If you answer our questions, you will.
And we'll be done soon. Your sister's in the room next door.
I can't see her, where is she? I want to see my sister!
Hear me? I want to see her!
You can sit there. Good. Now you can see her in there.
Right. Is that better?
Do you recognise this guy?
He says that he got this phone from you.
Did you give it to him?
Listen... Two people have been murdered.
We think you stole this phone from the killer.
We don't care if you steal.
We just want to know who you took it from.
I don't know. I take what I can, I don't see who I take it from.
- Did you take more from that person? - I don't know, I said.
We've searched your things.
Do you have any more stuff, maybe from the killer?
We've sold everything.
- To whom? - All kinds of people.
How old are you?
I don't think I can tell you.
You're about 160 cm tall, beginning to develop breasts, light acne.
You've probably started menstruating, so I'd say early puberty. 13?
Can I see my sister now?
Yes... Yes, off you go.
Christoffer?
- Christoffer? - What is it?
- What's that? - I found it in the chest of drawers.
Along with this.
I've no idea.
It must have been there when I took the chest of drawers.
- Didn't you look in the drawers? - Not in all of them.
- Christoffer... - Come on! It wasn't me!
- How did you know about the delivery? - I don't know.
Dimitri knew. I don't know how.
Tell Dimitri that...
No, you know what?
- I'll do it myself. - No!
- Was that really a good idea? - It's a lesson to others.
- You know what Dimitri's like. - Maybe he'll think twice next time.
I found these in Christoffer's chest of drawers.
He says he didn't take them.
Well... then he didn't.
It wouldn't be the first time, though.
It was a long time ago and it was only small stuff, but he...
- I don't want to move away from here. - You won't have to.
Leave it with me.
You're so kind.
Everyone is. It feels like we just brought a lot of shit here.
What did we say about thinking that way?
That it doesn't help me or Christoffer.
Exactly. I'll take care of this.
Come here.
OK?
- I'll take care of it. - Thank you.
You can put it there.
Thank you.
- What are you doing? - What's wrong with Danish desks?
It is Danish, it's mine, and it's not part of your flexible office.
Why are those two still here?
Social Services couldn't place them until tomorrow.
- Where will they sleep? - In a cell.
- They're children! - It's better than sleeping on the street.
Let go of me!
- Let go of me! - Come here!
- It's out of the question. - They can't be in a cell. They're kids!
- You heard me. - Can't they stay together?
They only have each other.
- There are rules for that. - And for locking up children!
If they'd been my girls, I would have been happy someone took care of them.
Right... This is where I live.
This is the living room if you want to watch TV or something.
The remote control is over there on the table.
You'll be sleeping in here. Come with me, I'll show you.
Here...
You can go to bed and sleep where you want.
Have you got children?
- I did have. - Where are they now?
The bathroom is there. I'll get you some towels.
Are they dead?
They disappeared.
- Are you hungry? - Yeah.
I'll make you something. ls there anything you don't like?
OK.
- Let's get out of here. - Now?
Yeah. Tomorrow they'll send us to that horrible children's home.
I can't be bothered, I have a headache. And we get food and a bed here.
- OK, we'll stay. One night. - Yes.
- What did you want? - Those are yours.
- No, they're not. - They're from your mum.
She apparently sold most of it before she sought you out.
Your potential inheritance is frozen, but those arrived today.
- I don't want them. - They can't stay here.
Hi.
Look what I found. Dumped in the forest.
You want me to believe that? You're just protecting them.
"They" are called Sofie and Christoffer.
I was hoping I wouldn't have to protect them. Not here.
He's a good kid. Show him he's in a good place.
How do you explain that we had our first burglary in years after they came?
I can't. Nor can you.
- Harriet said no patrols. - But not that we couldn't go for a walk.
Are you into drama?
I dress up sometimes, when I'm bored of myself.
This is Marlene.
Marlene von Wolfenburg.
Young mistress of the castle. Lives all alone.
Prefers dogs to people because they never let her down - like her parents did.
- What did they do? - Married her off against her will.
He wasn't a good man, von Wolfenburg.
He was accidentally shot on a hunt and died.
Maybe it was Marlene who shot him.
Do you think I'm crazy?
No.
- You can read their back stories. - Back stories?
Yes. Who they are, where they come from, their relatives, family...
Who do you want me to be?
- You don't have to be anyone else. - I know, but if you could choose?
- Her. - Not Agnes, she's not nice.
Then why is she in here?
Because you don't always want to be nice.
- Does it taste alright? - Yes.
Hi.
What are they doing here?
They're staying tonight. There was nowhere to put them.
- What's wrong with a custody cell? - Lots of things.
- Lillian gave her blessing. - Are you two together?
No, I'm staying here until I find my own place, and we have sex sometimes.
- Do you want something to eat? - No. Where's the investigation?
Over there on the shelf.
Do you want more?
Pass your plate. There you go.
Enough?
If you want anything, we're out here.
- Good night. - Good night.
We can have them DNA tested.
There's no need.
If they were mine, I'd recognise them. And they'd recognise me.
They're dead, and I have to accept it. They don't exist anymore.
- You don't know that. - It's been eight years.
Several abducted girls have been found alive after eight years.
I don't want to think about that now.
- But you want to know their fate? - Yes.
Good. I have a list of men Alice worked with whom she could have confided in.
If she confided in anyone, that is. Twelve. I'll start with them.
The men Alice worked with. Do you recognise any of them?
No.
Why aren't you asleep?
Because I woke up.
I couldn't breathe, the girls were on my chest.
That's a reaction to you having acknowledged they may be dead.
I know.
Yeah...
- Hi. - Hi, girls.
- If we help you, can we stay with you? - Help me, how?
If we have something that would help you?
- Do you? - Can we stay then?
That's not the way it works.
- What have you got? - Nothing.
Come along.
We'll go to their hiding place. They're hiding something.
I'm pregnant. But I'm planning to have it removed.
What are you saying? You're pregnant?
- Yes. - Are you sure?
I haven't had my period for six weeks, I'm unusually hungry and react to smells.
I'm the father?
Yes, I've only had sex with myself and you for the last two years.
We used contraception.
The copper coil gives 99% protection, but not 100.
- And you're thinking of getting rid of it? - Yes.
What about me?
Don't I have a say?
Not in the eyes of the law. Do you want it?
- Do I want the child? - Yes.
I've only just found out about it. I don't know.
OK...
- We won't find anything here. - What?
There's nothing here.
Saga? Come over here.
Susanne Winter. Niels Thormod's secretary.
I cancelled all my cards at once and reported it to the police.
- Did you lose your phone too? - No, just my wallet.
When was this?
Three days ago. On my way to Niels. I only realised in the afternoon.
- So they didn't take your phone? - No.
Do you recognise this?
No.
You've never seen your assistant with one?
- No. - Are you sure?
- Why do you think it's Susanne's? - We can't reveal...
Any case-related details. So you've told me.
On the 28th.
- The day your wife was abducted. - I know what happened on the 28th.
- Where were you then? - I've told you where I was. I've...
- I wasn't on the case then. - Don't you write things down?
Reading an interview is not like attending one.
You miss the body language that could show whether someone's lying.
- Am I suspected of something? - If so, we'd be in an interview room.
On the 28th. Where were you?
- What did they say? - You know that wallet I lost...
They found my driving license with a phone they were interested in.
- Why was the phone so important? - I don't know. They didn't say.
- Were you in an interview room? - Yes, I think so. Why?
Because they only take you there if you're a suspect.
According to the Swede.
Niels?
I understand how muddled everything seems right now.
And I know how much you miss her.
I'm sorry.
Susanne Winter reported her wallet stolen on the 2nd. She cancelled her cards.
- But no mobile phone? - Just her wallet.
Winter's fingerprints don't match those on the phone.
Henrik...
- Do I really have to? - Yes.
Taariq, you're going to a detention centre to await your deportation.
Here are your things.
Last chance...
I know you know more than you told us.
Did you recognise any of them?
OK.
Henrik?
- Yeah? - Will you please help me?
You know what will happen to me when they send me back to Iran.
- Get out. Get out. - What?
Get out, get lost.
- Did it go well? - All according to plan.
- I offered to do it. - It had to be believable.
- Got him? - Did he suspect anything?
I don't think so.
He looked genuinely surprised, almost grateful.
- Undercover lost him. A traffic jam. - Of course. Amateurs.
Never mind, we have the signal from the watch.
He's in Møllegade going east.
- What's up? - I need to borrow a computer.
- He's stopped. Møllegade 45. - That's a hairdresser's.
Yes. We know where Taariq is.
This isn't enough. It'll cost you more.
That's all I have.
OK. Wait here.
Here.
Thank you.
Take care of yourself.
We're in position. Is he still in there?
Yes, he's in there.
- Who's the owner of the hairdresser's? - Reza Frank, 33.
Danish citizen. Not in our register.
There's no link between Reza Frank and The Cave either.
He's a hairdresser, so he's likely to know Taariq in the biblical sense too.
Maybe. It looks like he's spending the night there.
Surveillance is in place. John and Barbara, you stay here.
The rest of you go home and rest, but be on standby. You too, Saga.
- Right. See you tomorrow. - See you.
- Did you take the girls home yesterday? - Yeah, why?
- Was that Lillian's idea? - No, it was mine.
- They can stay tonight. - That's what you said yesterday.
I know, but what can I do?
They didn't like it where they were placed.
They wouldn't have arrived there until after lunch.
- They didn't give it a chance. - Maybe so.
But they can stay here tonight.
- I'm going to a hotel. - Because they're here?
Yes.
Don't you think we should talk about the child?
- It's not a child, it's an embryo. - We need to talk about it.
It will have to wait. We have at least 10 weeks.
- No action? - No.
We don't have to both sit here. You can go home.
- Do you want one? - We're still working.
- We're working in Denmark. - You're so wonderfully Swedish.
- Shall I get you a coffee instead? - No, give me that.
Thanks.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
We've got a person leaving the hairdresser's and locking up.
It's not Shirazi. He must still be in there.
- No, he's moving. - In what direction?
- West. - That's where we are.
A man's coming, but it's not Taariq.
Get him. We're going in.
Stop, police! Put your hands against the wall!
- Yes? - Morgan Sonning?
- Who is this? - I know what you did. We need to meet.
Excuse me, I have to take this.
- Hi, has something happened? - They just did their evening rounds.
All the tests are fine. She can come home next week.
- That's fantastic. - It's wonderful.
- Thanks, Sarah. - Yeah...
I'll be there as soon as I can. Can you let her know?
Sure, I'll do that. Look, I'll see you later.
Hey! You can't go in there. She's terrified of clowns.
