Darkness: Those Who Kill (2019–…): Season 3, Episode 1 - Episode #3.1 - full transcript

LOST - THOSE WHO KILL

I had another nightmare.

I was in a parking garage,
but otherwise it was the same as usual.

I'm being followed,
I can't see who it is, and...

- And suddenly he's there.
- Peter Vinge?

Does he say anything to you?

Do you still check the apartment
when you get home?

Yeah.

What do you think would help?

- No clue. You're the expert.
- But you yourself are a psychologist.

This past summer,
you had a life-threatening experience.



You couldn't escape.
That's the basis for developing PTSD.

I would just like
for these tools to work, so that...

So that the rituals
don't develop into compulsive acts.

We need to know what triggers your fear
and look past last summer.

- Yes, but that's not why I'm here.
- Sometimes that's what it takes.

I have to catch a train.
I'm going to a police station up north.

- I'm consulting regarding a suspect.
- Okay.

And I need to start working again.

- Hi. Frederik Havgaard.
- Louise Bergstein.

I apologize for the wait. It's great
you could be here. Come with me.

Right...

On 15 November last year -

- Hans-Ole Kistrup and Therese Jepsen
were found murdered outside her house.

They had been on a dinner date
and got back with a cab at 12:15 am.



We have the timeline
from the taxi receipt. Hans-Ole paid.

They catch Kevin Jensen in the act
as he's breaking into her house.

- Hans-Ole grabbed Kevin who got violent.
- How did you find Kevin?

A half hour before, he had attempted
a break-in in a tech company nearby.

He was caught on camera,
and his shoeprints match the scene.

Three days after the murders,
we get the store's surveillance footage.

We interview Kevin,
he denies everything -

- and we don't have enough
to press charges.

Right.

- How were they murdered?
- With a knife.

- And you found the knife?
- No, we haven't.

We want to interview Kevin again
and change our strategy.

With your help.

He's convicted of stabbing and almost
killing a stranger he met in a bar.

You can start with the first interview.

- Do you have shoes like these?
- Maybe.

Look at them. Yes or no?

- Not anymore.
- When did you get rid of them?

I don't remember.

In the footage from the tech company
you're wearing a pair like these.

You didn't get into the company,
so half hour later you try a home.

I want a lawyer.

- You can stop the tape.
- You're done?

- Is there a development?
- Nah. He keeps denying it.

Do you have any witnesses
near Therese Jepsen's house?

No.

- No. No, there isn't.
- Right.

Well... I'd like to see the crime scene.

- Why?
- To understand what happened.

I told you.
They caught him in the act.

Yes. I'd like to understand him.
Your suspect.

Okay.

You're the one who solved
the case in Funen last summer?

- Where'd you hear that?
- Rumors travel fast in the police.

- Your profile led them to Peter Vinge.
- I can't take credit for that.

- You should. That's why I called you.
- So, who were the victims?

Hans-Ole Kistrup. Car dealer. Single.

Therese Jepsen. Realtor.
Widowed about a year ago.

They had no kids,
but she had two from earlier.

- Were they in a relationship?
- Getting there, maybe.

They'd met two weeks before on Tinder.

- Did either of them know Kevin Jensen?
- No, not as far as we know.

Therese Jepsen was found -

- at the front door... here.

Hans-Ole Kistrup was found
on the ground ...

... here.
No attempt was made to hide them.

The neighbor gets home
half an hour later and sees them.

The taxi is over there,
so the driver couldn't see anything.

Therese walks up to the house.

She surprises...

... Kevin Jensen breaking into the house
after having smashed the window.

His shoeprints are found here.

Therese is attacked
and gets her throat cut.

Hans-Ole suffered 28 knife wounds -

- in his hands and arms,
so he tried to defend himself.

And he was stabbed
in his neck and his chest. That's it.

Are you ready?
My colleagues would like your input.

Sure.
Can I talk to you first?

I have another meeting,
so let's take it in the meeting room.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- I'm Adnan.
- Louise.

- I'm newly assigned, too.
- Jesper Albeck. Hi.

We're curious about your take on Kevin.
We weren't able to get a confession.

- Would you like coffee?
- No thanks.

Okay... I don't think
Kevin Jensen is your offender.

So...

Yeah, I shouldn't be consulting
in your interviews with him.

Sorry.

But I've reviewed the case -

- and I'll be happy
to give you my take on the incident.

Please.

I don't think
it's a break-in gone wrong.

I think this was premeditated murder -

- and the offender knew one of the
victims, namely Therese Jepsen.

He goes to her house,
but she's not at home. So he waits.

She gets home,
and he attacks her at the front door.

But then Hans-Ole approaches.

He had paid the cab,
walks to the house and is attacked.

His stab wounds are random -

- but as Hans-Ole stops fighting,
the offender walks back to Therese -

- and cuts her throat.

Cutting someone's throat is a personal
murder method, not that of a burglar.

He breaks the window
to make it look like a burglary -

- but burglars rarely use that method.

Certainly not a pro like Kevin Jensen.
Let me recap...

I think the murder of Therese was
premeditated, and they knew each other.

Thank you.

- Do we at least agree on a male killer?
- Yes.

Not just because of his physics.
He's obviously strong.

And women rarely kill in this way.

Thanks.

Who's our perpetrator?

Maybe a previous boyfriend
who got wind of Hans-Ole.

So the motive is jealousy.

Or revenge.

Maybe someone who felt humiliated
or rejected by her.

It doesn't have to be
a romantic relationship.

It could be a friend,
a family member or a coworker.

I think they were in contact recently.

Murders of this type are often triggered
by an event. Something took place.

Okay. Thank you.

If you find a new suspect,
you're welcome to contact me.

Thanks. I'll do that.

Hello?

Louise, it's Frederik Havgaard.
From the police.

What do you want?

We've looked into Therese's family
and... Can I come upstairs?

No, I'm... I'll be right there.

Sorry. I tried calling.

- Yeah, my phone's on silent.
- Okay. Right...

Therese's son, Bjørn, lives
on a co-living farm in Jutland.

Local police checked in on him,
but he wasn't home.

But I'm meeting
his sister in 30 minutes.

She lived on the farm
with her brother until four months ago.

- Does he have a motive?
- We don't know yet. Do you wanna come?

You could hear about her big brother
and see if he fits your profile.

- You told me to call you.
- Yeah. Fine.

- Yes?
- Hi, Maria. Frederik Havgaard. We...

Maria Jepsen?
Frederik Havgaard.

- I asked my counselor to join.
- Hi. Anja Müller. Maria's case worker.

- I've helped her since the move.
- And you are?

Louise Bergstein. I'm a psychologist
and a consultant for the police.

- Can we come inside?
- Of course.

No thanks.

- Thanks.
- When did you last see your brother?

That was right before I moved
to Copenhagen in October.

- But you've been in touch?
- No.

We had a fight before I moved.

We haven't talked in two months.
He didn't attend Mom's funeral.

- What was your fight about?
- Well...

Bjørn wanted me to stay in Breidablik.

- Breidablik is a co-living farm?
- Yeah.

- You lived there with your mom?
- Yes, in the beginning.

Then she hooked up with Carsten
in Værløse and wasn't home much.

He didn't care for me or Bjørn.
And we didn't care for him.

If your mom left you,
when did Bjørn see her last?

It's almost five years ago.
Why do you need to talk to Bjørn?

- To understand their relationship.
- There wasn't any.

She left us, and we didn't need her.
End of story.

- Okay?
- Okay.

Anything else?

No.

Bjørn Jepsen has a motive.
Therese left him. Right?

I don't know.

I don't know...

His mom left him.
Yes, that could cause a crisis.

But is that enough to want
to murder her five years later?

There's something about the sister, Maria.
She left something out about him.

I can talk to her tomorrow
if you want.

That's a good idea.

- Talk to you tomorrow.
- Yeah.

- He wants to see you.
- Why?

No, he didn't say, but I'm right here
if you need anything. Ready?

You wanted to see me?

Is it about Bjørn and Maria?

You know what it's about.

You could tell she was lying.
And you are too.

Louise?

- Hi.
- Hi.

Good to see you.

- "You too, Dad."
- What do you want?

I thought we could have a coffee.

It's been a while.

Okay.

It's a nice apartment.

- How long have you lived here?
- Since November.

- Renting?
- I needed something. So...

I guess you're still with the police?

Yeah, that too.

Are you still at the hospital?

Not for much longer.

Next week is my last.

- Your last?
- Retirement.

- I can't picture you being retired.
- Me neither.

I even bought an old boat.
It's out in the marina.

Do you remember our boat?

- Of course.
- We had some good times together.

Right?

Well...

Dad, what did you want?

It's just been too long.

Not seeing each other...

Right?

Come out and see the boat if you want.

I'll be there this weekend.

Bjørn Jepsen. 23 years old.

He dropped out of school
and has lived on the farm since.

I can't find anyone
on social media under his name.

He hasn't used his phone today. I'll get
his phone records from November.

- Any news from the local police?
- They've interviewed most of the farm.

Bjørn wasn't home last night. Nobody
remembers if he was on the murder night.

Sounds strange.

Do you remember
where your son was two months ago?

Absolutely.
Because he never leaves his gaming chair.

Louise said
that if Bjørn is the one -

- then it wasn't an impulse move.

Something had to trigger it.

Maybe they met up.

- Do we know Therese's movements?
- No, we thought it was a random crime.

We'll track her movements now.
Find out where she was.

Ask her friends
and track her credit cards.

- I'll check up on her credit cards.
- Yes.

- Yes?
- Hi, Maria. Louise Bergstein.

We met yesterday.
Do you have five minutes?

Maria?

The police would like to find Bjørn.
They hope you can help them.

I told you I don't know where he is.

- What were you fighting about?
- I told you already.

Bjørn wanted me to stay at Breidablik
because I got pregnant.

- Right.
- Right.

- When are you due?
- In three weeks.

Are you going to be a single parent?

That is the plan.

Can you help with something
since you're here?

Okay.

- There should be three more.
- They're right here.

You're really good at this.

I'm in good shape.

I've moved 10 times in 10 years.

That's a lot. Why?

Don't know. It just happened.

Why did you move to Copenhagen?

I'm starting law school this fall.

Really? That's exciting.

- I want to be a lawyer.
- You'll be great at it.

- Do you and Bjørn have the same dad?
- That's what our mom says.

- He passed away... eight years ago.
- Okay.

- What about you?
- What about me...

- Do you have a partner? Children?
- No...

- Parents? Siblings?
- I don't have siblings.

My mom died of cancer...

It's 10 years ago.

- But you have a dad?
- Yes.

We just haven't
been talking the past years.

- Why?
- It's complicated.

Let's see.

Here we go.

He wanted me to get an abortion.

Bjørn.

Okay.

That's what the fight was about
before I left.

But I really don't know where he is.

I know someone who might know.

I think he lives here in Copenhagen.

Look at this. Therese used her card
at a cafe, the day of the murder.

She spent 120 kroner at 4:35 pm.
She was probably not alone.

Talk to the staff.
Maybe someone recognizes her.

Maybe they have cameras.

Hi, Louise.

- Bergstein?
- Yes.

Okay... Nikolaj what?

Wendorff. Nikolaj Wendorff.

Great. Thanks.

He's number 13.

- Did Maria Jepsen say anything else?
- Yes.

Bjørn wanted her to have an abortion.

- Bjørn?
- Mmm.

That's why she moved.

Nikolaj Wendorff?
Frederik Havgaard. Police.

- This is Louise Bergstein. Got a minute?
- Yes.

Bjørn Jepsen.
Have you seen him recently?

- Bjørn?
- Yes.

No, I haven't talked to him in years.

- Do you know where he could be?
- No.

- You went to school together?
- Yes. High school.

- How was he?
- He was very quiet and kept to himself.

But we went to the same shooting club
and started talking.

- You became friends?
- Yes, until I started high school.

I got a bunch of new friends,
and I think Bjørn felt left out.

And when I turned 19 -

- I had invited my friends
to my parents' cabin to celebrate.

And I used to invite Bjørn.

- But not this time around?
- No.

But he showed up anyway.
Totally drunk.

He stood outside screaming and...

I went outside to calm him down.

But he started beating me up.
He tried to strangle me.

My friends had to pull him off me.

What caused his rage?

Maybe it sounds strange,
but I think he was in love with me.

I don't know. He never had
a girlfriend or a boyfriend.

Bjørn questions his own sexuality.

Is that why he reacts so violently?

No, it's because he was let down.
Nikolaj rejected him.

- Just like his mom.
- Yes.

Yes, rejection is the trigger.

Frederik, Louise, come and look.

We have footage of Therese
at the cafe -

- eight hours before she was killed.

- Is she there?
-Yes, but wait. She paid at 4:35 pm.

There.

She's looking for someone.

- It's Bjørn Jepsen!
- It's hard to see.

Can you fast forward?
Maybe he turns around.

- Look at his shoes.
- Yes.

They match the crime scene.

Try slowing it down.

Are they fighting?

Yes, it looks like it.

Is it Bjørn Jepsen?

Turn around.

Damn. It is.

Good job. Awesome.

Last verse.

Remember to smile!

Smile! Remember to smile!

Remember to smile, right?
Remember to smile.

That was amazing!
There were moments of heavenly beauty!

You are awesome!

Thanks so much!
See you in two days.

We'll meet an hour before the concert.

Study your parts
so you don't have to look at the sheet.

Bjørn?

What are you doing here?

- Thanks.
- You're welcome.

It's so good to see you, Bjørn.
To what do I owe the honor?

I'm just traveling a little these days.

Visiting people.

Okay.

Why is that?

My mom died.

A couple of months ago.

No, I'm so sorry to hear that.

It's okay.

No, that's not okay.

What happened? Why...?

- It was an accident.
- An accident?

Okay.

What about your sister?
How's she?

She moved to Copenhagen.
We don't talk much, so I don't know.

- That's sad.
- Well...

Sounds like you're in a difficult place.

Right?

Bjørn...

Can I stay here tonight?

Yes. Of course you can.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

It's so good to see you. Cheers.

Cheers.

I'll catch the late flight to Aalborg
and start the search for Bjørn.

He'll probably stay
in familiar surroundings.

Maybe he'll go see people he trusts
so keep an eye on them.

Right.
We could also issue an alert.

Don't. It might freak him out.

Okay. You're probably right.

- Thanks for now.
- Thank you for your help.

Bjørn.

We're not doing this.

Sleep well.

See you tomorrow.
