Darkness: Those Who Kill (2019–…): Season 3, Episode 8 - Afsnit 8 - full transcript

Thank you.

When did you last see Alberte?

I have to ask you about the incident
in the railroad car.

Frederik, we've checked the basement.

She wasn't there?
Then check the stable.

Right away.

Alberte, come with us.

LOST - THOSE WHO KILL

In March of last year you bought a horse
from Breidablik for 80,000 kroner.

A horse that doesn't exist.

- Where did you get the money?
- You know that.



So you've stolen before?

A little. If the old people had cash
lying around.

Many were too senile to notice
it was gone.

- Did you choose the senile ones?
- No.

The ones who didn't have family
so no one would get suspicious.

Did you convince Dagmar to buy a car?

It was her idea
for us to go on vacation together.

You know what I think?
It was your idea.

You killed her for her money.

- No.
- You sold the car right after she died.

I heard she was dead and I knew
she didn't have any heirs.

Do you recognize this?

You stole it from Victor Bertelsen.
Where is it now?

I burned it.



Did you kill Victor?

- He had pneumonia. I tried to save him.
- Did you really?

- Yes, I did.
- Right.

Did Jon ask you to do those things
to get hold of the money?

No.

You moved to Breidablik
when you were 18.

Why?

Because I had lived there before.

Okay. When?

When I was 11 with my mother.
Three years later we moved again.

- Why did you move?
- I don't know. Ask her.

Unless she drank herself to death.

Jon asked you to get the money to
prevent Breidablik from going bankrupt.

I think Jon is the guilty party,
and you're taking the fall.

Yesterday you almost killed him
out of anger.

I can see why. You were always there
for him, and he let you down.

But I can't see why
you're protecting him now.

Are you afraid of him?

Alberte?

How old were you
when Jon started sleeping with you?

That's why your mother
wanted to move, wasn't it?

Because Jon sexually abused you.

What the hell are you talking about?
Huh?

Who do think you are?
Shut the fuck up, bitch!

You don't know jack shit!

I stole the car -

- and I stole the stamp.

But I didn't hurt Dagmar or Victor.

And Jon knew nothing about it.

- She's protecting him.
- Yes.

- He abused her as a child.
- That's why she's dependent on him.

Then why does she move back there
when she's 18?

He groomed her. She doesn't
want to see herself as a victim.

She likes to think they're equals
and that he loves her.

- But he doesn't?
- In his own way, I guess.

Something about that fire
12 years ago really annoys me.

A former resident said that Jon
and Sebastian were each other's heirs.

I think Jon killed his best friend -

- to be the sole owner of Breidablik.
I need to talk to him.

What is it?

I know I keep wallowing in it -

- but Margit said something
about Frej that keeps bugging me.

No one noticed that Alberte
was pregnant. She left in the fall -

- and returned in April
with a 2-month-old boy.

- You think that Frej is Maria's son?
- In theory.

Alberte might have had him
registered as hers.

- I'll find out where Frej was born.
- Okay.

How about a DNA test?
Is that possible?

If she gave birth to him alone,
I can get a warrant, but not right now.

- Okay.
- Now go home.

Right.

- How about you?
- I'll go home tonight. See you.

- Hello.
- Hi.

- What can I do for you?
- I want to hear more about the fire.

Again? I gave a statement last night.

No, the fire 12 years ago.
When Sebastian Marstrand died.

Okay. What about it?

- Which building was it?
- An old house we were renovating.

Sebastian forgot to turn off a lamp
which set fire to building materials.

- So it wasn't arson.
- The police didn't think so.

No, they couldn't prove it was arson.

Is it true that you were Sebastian's
heir and became sole owner?

- Are you asking if I started the fire?
- Yes, maybe I am.

I was in Odense that weekend.
I had dinner with some friends -

- and returned to my hotel at 11 p.m.

- What a clear memory of so long ago.
- The next morning I got the call.

That's why I remember
that weekend clearly.

Sebastian Marstrand was my best friend.

Breidablik was our life's work.

As for the inheritance ...

Do you know how high the inheritance tax
is when you're not related?

I gained nothing financially
from his death.

On the contrary. We got by
by the skin of our teeth.

Any more questions?

- No, not right now.
- Just let me know.

Thank you.
Have a nice day.

- What did he want?
- Nothing.

Hi.

Hi.

Is something wrong?

I told Ulrik about Bjørn -

- and my mom and Sebastian.

He couldn't take it -

- so we broke up.

I'm sorry to hear it.

Yeah.

And I wanted to apologize
for what I said.

I know you were trying to help,
but you made me think of Sebastian -

- and it made me afraid
to hope again.

I understand.

Frederik?

Alberte's mother is here.

Her mother?

- Hi.
- Hello.

- Frederik Havgaard.
- Karin.

- You're the one on Alberte's case.
- Yes. I'm investigating it.

Have a seat.

I just came to say -

- that no matter what Alberte has done -

- it wasn't her idea.

Jon Simonsen made her do it.

- What makes you think so?
- He controls her.

He's done so for years.

When we moved into Breidablik,
she quickly became attached to him.

At first I was just glad
that she had a father figure.

I know that that was really naive.

When she turned 14 -

- she decided to move
into the main house where Jon was.

Everyone at Breidablik knew ...

... what was going on,
but no one did anything.

Why not?

We were all afraid of Jon.

And I ...

I wasn't doing well at the time.

Sebastian was the only one
who dared say something to Jon.

Sebastian Marstrand?

One day when Jon wasn't home,
he said that I should take Alberte -

- to Skanderborg
where he found an apartment for us.

How did Alberte feel about it?

No way in hell she wanted to do that!
She was pissed off.

I had to force her into the car.

She hitchhiked back to Breidablik often.

When Sebastian realized she was there -

- he called me and I would go get her.

So Sebastian made sure
that Alberte and Jon weren't together.

He threatened that he'd go to
the police if Jon didn't break it off.

- How do you know that?
- I heard it.

One day I came to get Alberte -

- and I heard Jon and Sebastian arguing
in the kitchen.

Sebastian said
he was done protecting Jon.

And that if Jon didn't leave Breidablik,
he would go to the police.

- When was this?
- I don't know ...

I think in the middle of January 2011.

A few weeks before Sebastian died.

Good evening.

Jon, can I have a word?

- We're in the middle of dinner.
- I can see that.

It looks delicious.
It'll only take a few minutes.

What do you want?

I talked to Karin. Alberte's mother.

Your relationship started
when she was a child.

Not true.

So it isn't true that Alberte
moved in here with you at 14?

Karin is an alcoholic. We took care
of Alberte because she couldn't.

She's probably still ashamed,
so she invents those accusations.

So I won't hear the same story
if I talk to someone from back then.

Karin said that Sebastian Marstrand
got them away from here.

Sebastian stopped you
from abusing Alberte.

Do you have a question?

Do you remember an argument you had
with Sebastian just before the fire?

No, I don't recall that at all.

Karin said it was heated.

Sebastian threatened you
with the police.

She's lying.

Right.

The drive from Odense
takes about three hours -

- so you could've come back, started
the fire and been in Odense by morning.

- It's possible.
- I'm sure it is, but I didn't do that.

No... We can talk about it again
when I've talked to some old residents.

Go have your delicious soup
before it gets cold.

How old was Alberte
when you moved to Breidablik?

About 13 or 14.

Did Jon sleep with her at the time?

Yes...

I couldn't see it at the time,
but I figured it out later.

How did you figure it out?

Well, my mother moved to Zealand.

Bjørn and I wanted to stay
at Breidablik -

- but we didn't know if we'd be allowed
because we didn't have any money.

One evening Jon said
that of course we should stay -

- because Breidablik was our home.

We were so relieved.

A few days later,
it happened for the first time with Jon.

Did you tell anyone?

No.

Somehow Bjørn knew,
but not because we talked about it.

It was a long time ago,
and Jon was always nice to me.

That doesn't justify his actions.

But he never forced me
to do anything.

It's still abuse.

It's okay.

I got away from him.

Yes, you did.

- Come in.
- Thank you.

Now he'll open the door,
right, Frej?

There.

And what about him? Turn him.

Hi.

Are they treating you well?
Good.

Let's sit down.

- Frej, I'm having a conversation, okay?
- Yeah.

Once this is over,
you'll come home to Breidablik.

Yes.

Yes...

Then I need you to take responsibility
for Sebastian Marstrand.

You did what was best for both of us,
but I knew nothing about it.

Agreed?

If you love me as much as I love you -

- you'll live up to your responsibility.

Otherwise, don't come home.

And then you'll be alone.

Do you understand
what I'm saying?

You know
it's not too late to report Jon.

I know.

But I can't face interrogations -

- and seeing him in court.

I don't want to see him again.

Is Jon Sebastian's father?

- No, sorry ...
- It's fine.

No, he isn't.

I've told the truth all along, Louise.
Olivier is his father.

- I have a train to catch.
- Of course.

- I'll call you.
- Please do.

Have a good trip.

Hey.

This file says that Alberte had Frej
in the hospital and stayed three days.

And I have the midwife visitation
reports. I can't get a warrant.

It's fine.
Thanks for checking it out.

I also have news about
the fatal arson 12 years ago.

Jon had another motive.

Sebastian Marstrand threatened him
with the police because of Alberte.

I confronted Jon,
and naturally he denied it.

- This morning he visited her in jail.
- How was that possible?

He brought Frej.

Alberte confessed to fatal arson
an hour ago.

What?

- Yes.
- So she's taking the blame?

It might be true. Maybe she was angry
with Sebastian for keeping them apart.

If she started it,
it's because Jon asked her to.

- She says he wasn't involved.
- Because she's scared!

Now what? Does he get away with it
and rule the roost again?

Well...

Alberte has confessed.
My hands are tied.

Jon?

- Should Simon pick up Frej?
- That'd be fine.

Jon...

Why did Alberte do it?

Was she jealous?

She tried to burn you alive ...

It was before Simon's and your time.
Don't stick your nose in it.

But why was Louise interested in Frej?

Margit, I don't want ...

Take responsibility for
Sebastian Marstrand's death.

You convinced a 15-year-old
to commit murder.

- To get rid of the threat to ...
- I never forced Alberte to do anything.

You raped Maria Jepsen.

That was payment for letting her
and Bjørn stay here.

How do you know Maria?

You were part of the search
for her child. As profiler?

Perhaps you think that Frej ...
That I ... Is that it?

Did you think I was the kidnapper?

Do I fit the profile?

Do I?

They never found the boy, did they?

No.

Based on your knowledge of kidnapping,
who did it?

A woman.

That rules me out.

So, a woman.

What type?

Either in her teens, her early 20s
or over 40.

And she might have lost
a newborn recently.

- Interesting. Single?
- Not necessarily.

She might have a husband.
Most likely older or younger than her.

Did anyone in Maria's circle
fit that profile?

No. Maria didn't know anyone
in Copenhagen.

Only social workers and girls from
a support group for pregnant teens.

Did anyone in the support group
lose a child?

And now I'll ask you
to leave my property.

Jon?

There's no statute of limitations
on cases of abused children.

Someday they'll report you.

I sent everything on the Dagmar case
to North Jutland.

- Great. Then you can call it a day.
- See you.

Bertram?

Yes?

I know I seemed hostile towards you
at first -

- but you've done a good job.

Thank you.

You might consider applying for a job
here if you like.

Yes, I'll ...

- See you tomorrow.
- See you.

Hi, Louise.

I was just wondering
where you were. Call me back.

- Hi.
- Can I help you?

Does Anja Müller still work here?
I can't get through to her on the phone.

No.

Louise? Louise Bergstein?

- Trine Søe.
- I remember you. Can we talk?

- I was just leaving.
- Five minutes.

See you down there.

It's about the Maria and Sebastian case.
I need information from Anja.

It upset us. Especially Anja -

- who had to take sick leave.

I need the names of the women
in the support group.

That's personal information.
I can't give it out.

- And not in a case of forcible removal.
- But Maria got to keep the child.

Yes, and perhaps she shouldn't.

I'm sorry, but that's what I thought.
And so did Anja.

She wanted Maria to keep Sebastian.

Yes, at first.

Then that thing happened
to Maria's brother that upset her.

In the end, Anja recommended
that the boy be removed.

But the committee voted against it.
Perhaps to save money.

Sorry, when did Anja return to work?

She didn't.
She quit and moved to Austria.

She was married to an Austrian, who
had just retired. He's older than her.

- Where have you been?
- To Copenhagen to talk to Anja Müller.

She was Maria's social worker.
I didn't get hold of her.

Her boss said Anja and her husband
Ernst moved to Austria three years ago.

I think Anja took Sebastian.

She was with Maria all day
when he was kidnapped.

I think her husband Ernst helped.
While she was with Maria -

- he was driving to Austria
with Sebastian.

Anja went on sick leave,
quit and moved to Austria -

- where they somehow
registered him as their own.

- It's theoretically possible.
- We can go there now.

We should involve the Austrian police.

I want to go there myself.

I know I was wrong about Frej -

- but Anja fits the profile.

It's over there.

Right.

We tried for so many years.

When we ...

When we decided to adopt,
Ernst was too old.

We couldn't get approved.

So we had to keep trying ourselves.

And we were successful once.

But I had a miscarriage
in my fifth month.

Maria is still young.

She can have other children.

Don't take him away.

I'm his mother.

THREE MONTHS LATER

- Hi.
- Hi, Louise.

I have it here.

Here's the contract.

You just need to sign here.

- That's my small fee.
- Yes, it's what we agreed on.

The buyer will take over
all fixtures and equipment.

- But you can see if you want anything.
- I'll do that.

DAD

- Hey.
- Hi.

- How are you two doing?
- Well.

He was very upset at first.

He missed Ernst and Anja.

But Louise has been living here -

- and it's been a big help.

Good.

How do you feel about him?

I love him.

But it's difficult.
Is it okay to say that?

Of course.
I understand.

- Hi. Are you Frederik?
- Yes.

- Hannah.
- Where is the birthday girl?

There she is.

Hi.

- Happy birthday.
- Thanks. Did you have a good summer?

Yes. I went surfing with Karl.
I ache all over, but he had fun.

Jens sends his regards.
Things aren't going well at Breidablik.

- Simon, Margit and others are leaving.
- They have daughters, so I can see why.

Exactly.

- Drinks! Coming?
- Sure.

Thank you all for coming.
It means a lot to me.

I'm not good at celebrating my birthday.
I haven't done it much -

- or had people around
who wanted to celebrate me.

So your being here
means a lot to me.

- Cheers!
- Yes. Cheers!

Cheers.

More?

- Here.
- Thanks.
