Gidseltagningen (2017–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - Episode #2.1 - full transcript

Elias!

Elias!

Fuck!

He went that way!
He's injured!

He filmed everything!

So find him... fast!

- There's one more in the ruin.
- Fuck.

Sniper!

Gas, gas!

Shit!

- She's gone.
- Check him!



- No cell phone.
- Find her.

Shit!

BELOW THE SURFACE II

Friday 7:13 a.m., Copenhagen

- I'll go.
- Thanks.

Bang!

Now look. I died.

- I thought no gaming on weekdays.
- You were noisy.

- How about a quick game?
- If you're man enough.

Okay, you asked for it.

Alright!

Good morning, sweetie.
We're off in precisely 22 minutes.

- That game ends now.
- Sure.

That goes with having
a shrink for a mom.



No!

Shit!

- I'll take Asger.
- Oh great. Thanks.

I have a client in 40 minutes.

- Remember our family dinner tonight.
- Yes, I remember.

Kiki's dropping off the boat paint
at the marina.

- Still that illegal stuff?
- It's the best there is for woodwork.

- You're a trigger-happy polluter.
- And I'm unemployed.

I'm crazy about you.

I need to see a shrink soon.

COPENHAGEN CITY COURT

- She's coming out!
- June!

June, as a convicted Syria warrior, your
passport's been confiscated for a year.

- How do you feel about the verdict?
- We're glad to avoid a prison sentence.

We intend to appeal. I fought
the enemies of the Danish state, ISIS.

ISIS issued a fatwa against you.
Do you fear for your life?

- Have you yourself killed anyone?
- I've seen many things...

- Fight one Muslim, fight all Muslims!
- My fight will continue.

- Bitch!
- What fight, June?

To expose the truth. Why do you think
my trial was behind closed doors?

- They don't want anyone...
- No more questions now.

- We're gonna get you.
- You're done for, June!

Start the engine.

- Will you help me find this man?
- Okay.

You're done for!

- We're coming for you!
- Clear the area.

You're done for, June!

Friday 3:35 p.m., Amager

Well...

- What's the plan when you're done?
- I'm off on my maiden voyage.

I'm talking about work.
Aren't you going back to the police?

For now, I'm enjoying this.
Maybe I'll go sailing at some point.

Well, if it isn't my first-born.

- Finally!
- Don't push it, Dad.

You didn't exactly order standard stuff.
Hands off. Let me unlock it.

There you go.

- You got the right stuff?
- Sure. Hempel Bravo 76101, right?

You owe me 2,500 kroner
for those four cans.

- Here you go.
- You're a man of your word.

- Nice doing business with you.
- See you, Kiki.

- Hi, Philip.
- Okay! Shooting at unarmed men now?

Hi.

- You've come far.
- Now we can paint it on the weekend.

Would you like to go grocery shopping
with me and choose the wine for tonight?

- Well, Captain?
- Go on, boss. I'll take care of Jenny.

- Alright!
- You're in for it! Revenge is sweet.

- I have to go soon.
- If you have to, then go.

We've been waiting for two hours.

Five minutes, then I'm leaving.

Is your Dad really in a wheelchair?
And is he really the Defense Chief?

He used to be but it's a while ago.

There he is!

- Take care.
- I will.

- Let's move in!
- Philip.

- Are you ready?
- I'm ready.

Follow her.

Philip!

- I know. We're Lego experts.
- Philip.

What the hell?

- Can you talk?
- What's up?

- Didn't you get my email?
- No, what account did you send it to?

This one.
I tried calling you, too.

This is my work email. I'm on leave
and haven't checked it the past year.

- Philip, we're going in.
- I'll be right in.

Asger, get my bag.

- What email?
- I attached a video.

- What video?
- Military Intelligence suppressed it.

- They don't want it to go public.
- Look, June...

I have a family dinner tonight,
and I'm not with the police anymore.

Please check if you got it.
I only sent it to you.

June, I'm going in now.

It's a video of Danish soldiers
getting killed in Syria.

What? Syria?

It's a video of Danish soldiers getting
killed in Syria. And I was there.

Wait here.

- Who is she?
- June Al-Baqee.

- Oh, the Syria warrior?
- Exactly.

She had your card?

I helped her out of a legal bind once.
She's quite a handful.

- She looks scared.
- She's paranoid.

DEAD LINK

- Strange.
- What?

- Her link is dead.
- It's not just your connection?

- No, I'm on the TTF server.
- How is that possible?

In the event of a crisis,
they can revoke my leave immediately.

- I've kept my security clearance.
- But they know you're not coming back?

They know.
Okay?

But I've also agreed to stop
by Hejndorf for a chat.

- Philip...
- Just a chat. It's not gonna happen.

- I'm not going back.
- Good.

I'm going to stay right here
and kiss you all day.

Philip!

- Did you see her leave?
- No.

Philip!

- Asger, what's up?
- They took her.

- Who took her?
- I was lying in wait for you.

- I mainly heard them.
- Are you okay?

- Where did they go?
- To the parking lot.

Okay, did you see them?
Okay, listen.

Go to your mom. Hurry.

Shit!

What the fuck?

It's fine.

SP, it's me.

Friday 5:15 p.m., Klejs

Now, Benji,
let's get you some water.

Hi. Did you have a nice walkie?

Yes. Like always.

Here you go, Benji.
Water for you.

So...

- You've having an early dinner?
- Just a snack.

Dorte is making me a steak bearnaise.
I'm not missing out on that.

- She's in the salon?
- Yes.

Hi, Baloo.
It's so good to see you again.

- Hi, Mom.
- Hi, dear.

- What are you watching?
- That? Oh, nothing special.

We're glad to avoid a prison sentence.

We intend to appeal. I fought
the enemies of the Danish state.

MINISTER OF JUSTICE INE FROLICH
The passport law works.

If June Al-Baqee wants to go back, it'll
be hard for her without her passport.

But she fought ISIS, the same enemy
we're fighting in Syria and Iraq.

No one is above the law. We don't
know exactly what June did in Syria.

She may pose a security threat...

Why not just let her leave? Politicians
have their heads up their asses.

- Rene, she's convicted.
- Let her go fight. I don't care.

- The less terrorists, the less hassle.
- Sure, now let me finish Baloo.

Or else I won't have time to make
the bearnaise for your steak.

Sorry. We'll do a thorough check.

They've cleaned it out. The prints
probably belong to the owner.

It was stolen six hours ago.
There are hair strands.

- June's?
- The DNA test will show.

That's all we have to go on for now.

Can you visually confirm
she was taken?

- No.
- Did you see her in the car?

- Did you see them?
- No.

- This is so Amager.
- It is?

All the security cameras have been
painted over and destroyed.

- Recently?
- Probably the local dealers. No CCTV.

That's probably why
they dumped the car here.

- Check cell towers for known numbers.
- I've checked the area.

The CCTV across the street tapes
half of entrance B.

That Audi A4 left through entrance B
around the time you entered through A.

- Did you check the plates?
- Mahdi Hadad. Lives in this estate.

- Do we know him?
- No. Neither does Police Intelligence.

His leaving here is probably
a coincidence.

If they dumped the car here, they may
have left through an emergency exit.

If this Mahdi guy lives in the estate,
it'll take three minutes to check him.

- Go ask him about his movements today.
- Great idea, but you're not coming.

Let's just go all three.
Come on, baby. It'll take 10 minutes.

Okay. But stay in the background.

Why, there's Military Intelligence.

What the fuck are they doing here?

- Gentlemen.
- Bulow, what are you doing in Amager?

- You're carrying out an investigation.
- A possible kidnapping. Not many leads.

The owner of this car, Mahdi Hadad,
may be involved. It's a long shot.

Listen. June Al-Baqee is our department,
so we'll take over from here.

- Why?
- You know I can't tell you.

Sure, but it's unusual for Military
Intelligence to take over a police case.

- And the boss himself no less.
- Well, that's the way it is.

June is important in regard to national
security. We'll take over from here.

She has a fatwa on her head.
They may already have killed her.

Thank you, we know.
Hence our eagerness to get started.

- SP, will you take Philip home?
- Yes.

Fine. I can manage.

Nice bike.

- I await a speedy report from you.
- Copy that.

Set up a meeting
with the Russian embassy.

What's up, Philip?

June tried to show me a video she said
Military Intelligence was suppressing.

- Do you believe her?
- The link she sent is dead.

There could be many reasons
for deleting it.

June said the video showed
Danish soldiers being killed in Syria.

- There are no Danish soldiers in Syria.
- Not officially.

Both Intelligence services have tried
to get June into witness protection.

- The system tried to protect her.
- And now she's been kidnapped.

Presumed kidnapped.

This is a classified
Military Intelligence case -

- and it ends here for us
and for you, Philip.

What do you think?

We'll write that report and then I'll go
home and change my daughter's diaper.

We hope to get you back soon.
Garnov has been appointed acting chief.

Garnov? Okay.

We'll see.
Good to see you, guys.

You too.
Take care.

Drop it, Simon.

- Can I go pee now?
- Shut the fuck up!

- What does she want?
- To pee.

We're not animals, are we?

Go ahead and pee.

Mahdi, you go with her.

Go over there and pee.

- What are you waiting for?
- Help me with my pants.

- I'm not touching you. Hurry.
- So cut this off.

I'm gonna wet my fucking pants.

If you try anything,
I promise you -

- I'll slit your throat.

Got it?

Get a move on.

Friday 6:11 p.m., Amager

Hi, Marianne.
Good to see you.

- We've already begun.
- Sure. It looks good.

- Is everything okay?
- Sure.

- Have the police found her?
- No, but they're on it.

- Cheers.
- Cheers, Mom.

- All settled in among Beate's stuff?
- Yes. I still have a little to unpack.

- I love it here.
- I hear you're renovating Jenny.

It's a full-time job and the best
psychological help Beate's given me.

Working on that boat is healing.

- Philip, the timer just went off.
- Perfect. I'll go carve the roast.

Give me a hand?

- Fuck! She's running!
- Go get her then!

Hassan, stay by the car.

Where the fuck did she go?

Look that way!
Find her!

Fucking little bitch!
Where the fuck is she?

- Hey, wait!
- There she is! Down by the road!

Stop!
Stop the car!

They're trying to rape me!
Go!

- Here?
- Yes.

Go!

Fucking kill her now!
She tricked my little brother!

No, your brother's very lucky
she's still alive.

- She's fucking lucky!
- Go to the car and get some duck tape!

Asger...

Those men who took the lady.

- Did they see you?
- No.

I was hiding to ambush you.

So you didn't see them either?

Hi, Dad.

Hello, Philip. Sorry I'm late. The
signposting here is downright Russian.

No worries.

Your timing's perfect. Me and
the head chef are almost ready to serve.

- You must be Asger.
- Yes. How do you do.

- How do you do.
- So you're my new granddad?

Hardly.

Bonus granddad at some point,
right, Dad?

Dad, go say hello and have a glass
of champagne. We'll be right out.

- Did you see how many they were?
- Two.

- Sure?
- Yes.

Were they light-skinned or brown?

I don't know.
They were already at the parking lot.

Don't give it another thought now.
I'll take care of it.

Okay, that ought to be enough meat.

Grab the potatoes, will you?

But one of them, who did the talking,
called the other one Mahdi.

- Are you sure?
- Yes, several times.

Listen, Asger. Tell your mom
I had to pop off for 20 minutes.

- Okay.
- See you.

Now it's time for our last guest speaker
today. Philip Norgaard.

Thank you.

There are two kinds of people.

Those who talk and those who act.
I usually belong to the latter -

- but when my old professor, Oxholm,
asks me to speak, I make an exception.

Good evening. I'm with the
Copenhagen police. Is Mahdi in?

- Have you got any ID?
- No, I work undercover.

- Mahdi isn't in.
- I have a few questions... Tahira?

- Am I pronouncing it right?
- Yes.

- Mahdi's girlfriend, I suppose.
- I'm his wife.

- And pregnant. Congratulations.
- Thanks.

- Has Mahdi been acting strange lately?
- No.

- Is Mahdi involved in something shady?
- Who the hell do you think you are?

Mahdi is going to be a father in two
months. He's not involved in anything.

- Does he own a red Audi A4?
- Show me some ID or leave.

Look, take my number and have Mahdi
call me when he gets home.

Wait here.

Thanks.

Have you had any other visitors?
Anyone from Military Intelligence?

- No, but what is this about?
- I can't disclose that.

Ask Mahdi to call me
as soon as he gets home, please.

Thanks.
Have a good evening.

This is Mahdi. I can't come to the phone
right now. Leave a message.

Friday 7:37 p.m., Copenhagen

Hi there.
What the devil are you doing here?

Look, do you think
Kiki could track a cell phone?

- Can't an old cop like you do that?
- I usually leave that to others.

- Sure, I can ask her.
- Thanks.

Thanks for seeing me
on such short notice.

No problem.

- You want to talk about this girl.
- June Al-Baqee.

She's gone missing. Have you got
anything to share on your end?

No, nothing.
I checked with SVR.

I even called Moscow.
We know nothing about her.

Strange.

It's as if the SVR was more efficient
in those days when they were the KGB.

Right?

You can say that.
And you?

Haven't got a clue.

She'll probably turn up by herself.

And hopefully not dead, though.

Chances are she might have
gone back to Syria to fight.

Well, in one way
that would actually be preferable.

Okay?

If she's found dead here in Denmark,
we've got a murder case on our hands.

Handled meticulously
by the Danish police.

I understand.

I'll call you if I hear anything.

- Good evening.
- What's up? Lauge is a tech wiz.

Hi, Lauge. It's this cell number.
Can you track it?

If they use Find Your Phone,
it's no problem. It'll cost you 500.

- Fine.
- Wait, let me...

- Give me five.
- Perfect.

It's Philip.
I'll go talk to him.

- Yes?
- It's me.

What's up?
We're almost done here.

I'm sorry, but I have to follow up
on something.

- Can't the police handle it?
- They are, but...

- I have to follow a lead.
- Fine, then.

See you.

Anything?

I've cracked the number -

- but the cell's switched off.
No signal.

Okay. We'll wait five minutes,
then I have to go.

- A beer?
- Please.

Yes, I understand.

Yes.

Okay, A, I got it.

The plan has been changed.
There's a new pickup point.

We have to go to Sweden.
Hassan, let's go.

- That was not part of the deal!
- The pickup point is now in Sweden!

- It'll take all night to get there.
- It's an order!

You guys fucked up.
A dead body and June almost escaping.

We have to change pickup places.
We go to Sweden, we stay calm -

- and we act like civilians.

Okay?

Hassan, go.

Remember when we tracked
the store owner's son?

- Just to see if it worked.
- Yeah, and keep tabs on him.

All his lady friends.

- Thanks.
- Thank you.

Anything, Lauge?
Is it on?

Nothing.

- Okay, thanks anyway. I gotta go.
- Have a good evening.

Friday 9:53 p.m.
The Elsinore Expressway

Philip!

- We've got it.
- It's heading north on the expressway.

Okay.
Have you got time to follow it?

- It'll cost you another 500.
- Perfect.

Hassan, take it easy.
We don't want any attention.

- I think it's headed for Elsinore.
- Philip, who are we following?

- I can't tell you.
- Seriously?

- Sorry.
- You can trust us.

What the fuck are you doing?
Didn't I tell you no cell phones?!

- You have a phone as well.
- A secure one!

I just want to tell my wife that
I'm gonna be late. She's pregnant.

Switch the phone off.
Take the battery out now.

Idiot.

We lost it.
They turned it off.

- Just outside Elsinore.
- What do they want in Elsinore?

- How often do the ferries go to Sweden?
- Every 20 minutes.

- Not a bad guess.
- No.

Friday 11:07 p.m., Elsinore

It's departing in two minutes.

Mahdi, come here.

What?

See that train station?

40 minutes and you're home.

- Forget it.
- Come on... Listen to me.

There.

Have you got it?

- I'll fetch the car.
- Fine.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome. I'm glad you came.

- You got to meet Asger and my mom.
- Yes, and to see the house.

- Is it warm enough during the winter?
- Yes. The stove heats it up in no time.

Good.

If you don't mind my asking, do you
and Philip ever discuss his future?

- Yes, of course.
- About him going back to TTF?

That, too, but that's not the plan.

- In your opinion.
- I think Philip agrees.

- Is that who we're following?
- I can't tell.

All I know is they're in a red Audi.

- No...
- If you love me, listen to me.

- I do, but you and I have an agreement.
- Yes, we have.

But you have a wife at home,
and pregnant.

- Go home.
- It's time to go.

You're my brother.
We have the same blood.

- Let's go.
- I love you.

- It's them!
- What?

It's the Audi!

- Thanks for a nice evening.
- Look.

Philip is a warrior.
You do know that, don't you?

He thrives in the fire,
not in the ashes.

Get home safely.

Are you coming back with us?

- I need to get on!
- Too late, buddy.

- My wife is having a baby in Sweden!
- Take the next ferry.

Are you crazy?!
