The Eagle (2004–2006): Season 1, Episode 3 - Kodenavn: Skylla - Del 3 - full transcript

Everything points
to cardiac thrombosis

but your ECG doesn't show
anything abnormal, so...

Psychosomatic diseases
become somatic ones if ignored.

- Thea thinks you need therapy.
- That's not up to her.

It's a direct order.
She's found someone.

Emma Goldstein.

- How did the session go?
- I had to cancel.

- Again?
- I've got work to do.

And there's Sergei.

Sergei! Drop the gun!

Were you afraid I'd shoot you?



I would have.

Odd sitting across from him.

He faced life in Denmark
and execution in Russia

but he was completely calm.

He knew he'd be sprung?

I think so.

- And now he's in Hamburg.
- He was spotted there.

And in Kaliningrad.

And half an hour ago
I thought I saw him right here.

Did he cross against the lights?

Is it too late for a beer?

- I'm actually in bed.
- Of course. Sorry.

Sleep tight.

- Should I say you moved?
- What?



- Should I mark them return to sender?
- No, they always find me.

- Why are you here?
- I want things sorted out.

I've found a solution.

Sigrid, it's your own fault, then.

You haven't got the balls.

Sigrid, damn it. Come back.
Sigrid, stay here!

- Who's she?
- Sigrid Krogh. Arrived last night.

She runs a big Norwegian firm.

- The hothead is new to me.
- You're lucky.

- Hi, Sigrid.
- Hi.

- Problems?
- Nothing I can't handle. Come.

- Don't think that just because...
- Get lost!

Come in.

What do you want?

To show you something.

- What?
- Death.

No.

I would be afraid.

- You've got to come with me.
- What?

The Norwegian woman.

I was getting my bike out
to go home.

I saw her lying there.

I had to chase a fox away
from over there.

But I haven't touched her.

- Did you knock for long?
- What?

Did it take a long time
to wake me?

- On your door? No, no.
- It's me.

Sorry to wake you.
We've got a homicide.

THE EAGLE
a crime odyssey

Dear Mum, I miss you.
I look forward to the trip, Magnus.

You cycled? I said to get a taxi.

I did. I charged it to petty cash.

- You know her?
- Sigrid Krogh.

She owns 50% of Merkur Finance.
a big finance house in Norway.

Branches everywhere.
more than 400 staff.

annual turnover of 6.7 billion.

What does this tell you?

That she transferred
2,18 million kroner in cash today

via Western Union.

- Laundered?
- Undoubtedly.

Inform the secretariat.

- Is it our case?
- Why else did I call you in?

Ten years ago
we charged her with fraud.

She was running
a Danish debt recovery firm.

She had a lawyer, Klaus Storm.
He got her off.

She used to call on her debtors
with that tall...

ugly one...
with bikie colours and all that.

- Arly?
- How do you know?

He argued with Sigrid downstairs.

Arly and Sigrid?

She's come up in the world.
Her Norwegian partner is Harald Beyer.

Harald Beyer's part of the big end of town
and a patron of the arts.

- What do they do?
- Anything suspect.

Mainly factoring and financing.

You know why the rich are rich?

They stay in shabby hotels
even if they can afford the best.

Thanks.

- What did they fight about?
- I've sent Nazim to find out.

- Why didn't you take a taxi?
- I did. It's 3 a.m. and it's raining.

Can you access that one?

Not here.
We're about to do a search.

- Is that her son?
- Yes.

- Has he been told?
- Yes.

You can use my room.

33.5 degrees...
Air temperature is 8.

What do you think?

Her skull is fractured
on both sides.

She could have been hit
with a baseball bat. I don't know.

- They dragged her over here.
- They?

Or he did.

And look here.
She broke a finger.

The ring finger on her left hand.
It's badly bruised.

It was fun meeting your kids.

Hi.

- See you.
- Yes.

- Jonas thinks...
- Jonas?

The doctor thinks
she was moved.

- How come Jonas knows our kids?
- None of your business. I got a lift.

- Who's babysitting?
- Dorte.

You called her tonight?

She had dinner with us
and slept over.

You're living together?
That's very in.

- Is this your case?
- Yes, it is.

Okay.

I'll have to put up with you.

- Don't get in my way.
- What do you mean?

The Forensic Unit's in charge.
Didn't you leave the unit?

- Great, I'll stand in the rain.
- Why don't you?

Ditte, you can start upstairs.

Oh...

You live here?

Are you the one
who feeds the foxes?

Did you feed them tonight?

Why not? Didn't they come?

Did something scare them?

Can you tell me what it was?

I'll come back later.

How come it's your case?

It's good for you.
You've got enough work.

Good evening.
You know Bagger?

- Do we work in parallel?
- No, together.

Do your stuff
and report to Hallgrim.

We do all the slogging
and you take the credit.

Yes, spot on.

What the hell is this?

You call me in the middle of the night
for a common homicide.

- She's Norwegian.
- So?

She's part owner
of a rather shaky finance house.

Probably on the run.

Her entire wardrobe
is in four suitcases in her room.

She transferred 2 million illegally.

Earlier, I saw her arguing
with Arly Skov Sørensen.

- Saw? What do you mean saw?
- I live here.

At this hotel? Permanently?
Don't you have a home to go to?

Arly Skov Sørensen
is a convicted hit man.

Good.

- See you tomorrow.
- No.

I'm flying to Oslo with Frandsen.
I can't do any more here.

- Don't explain.
- We'll try to access her accounts.

- No warrant?
- It's a homicide.

- You still need a warrant.
- You'll get one.

Yes. Or I'll wake Marie.

Isn't Emma a real gem?

Well, we haven't found time.

All these commitments.

That way you avoid
facing your own problems.

Hallgrim's been married twice.

He pays maintenance to both.

One means you're nice.
Two makes you an idiot.

He was wise not to breed.
No child support.

But he thinks he can afford
a whole village in Africa.

That man can't afford
to live in a hotel.

How are things?

The boy might look stupid
but he's into their Danish branch.

One set of books for taxation
and another for raising funds.

- What's the difference?
- 184 million.

No wonder she packed her bags.

May I come in?

What a great place.
And no housework.

- Expensive?
- Ask Frandsen.

- Any news about Norway?
- Plane tickets.

She was meeting Magnus in London.
From there to Vanuatu.

Vanuatu.

What's Vanuatu?

The New Hebrides.
a tax haven east of Australia.

Maybe she cheated her partner
and he set Arly on her.

Beyer? He's quite capable.

Big arseholes wear the best suits.

- Get a move on, Michael.
- Want to try?

Bloody weather.

- Hi. Did you find Arly?
- No.

He left in a bloody hurry.

Some girlfriend says
he went to Norway.

To settle with Beyer?

- I'm into the Norwegian HQ.
- The bottom line.

Bloody hell.

They pulled the same stunt
in Norway.

They bought debts for 80 million.

They inflated that amount
and borrowed...

800 million kroner against it.

Dear friends, this is major fraud.

Inform the Norwegian Fraud Squad.

Now?

Yes. I'm going to pack
and so are you, Frandsen.

- Can you leave Elin?
- She'll be okay.

Get some sleep.

- I can't get a loan for a washing machine.
- Makes sense.

Why?

To borrow, you must borrow big
or they think you're broke.

Good night.

Don't disappoint her.
Let her do some work.

Did you remember to take your pills?
Good.

I'll call you tonight. Bye.

My mother-in-law's visiting.

I hope this case drags on and on.

There's somebody I must see.
Our car's over there.

Hi, Emma.

- What are you doing in Oslo?
- A psychiatry congress, in Ullevåll.

We'll have to make a time
when you get back home.

- What about tonight at 8?
- Tonight?

I can use a colleague's clinic.

- I can't promise.
- I'll SMS you the address.

- Fine, then. Enjoy the congress.
- Thanks.

Is Holsoe working on
the security tapes?

He's on his way.
Okay. Bye.

- He says hi.
- Thanks. What did he say?

Holsoe's photographic memory
may find Sergei's liberators.

- How?
- He'll watch all the security videos.

Bank robberies, post offices.
petrol stations and so on.

- Are you sure?
- Yes.

- Merkur Finance is bust?
- Frandsen says so.

Frandsen, my friend.

Look.

These are instalments
on my kids' PlayStation.

charge card and washing machine.

- Merkur Finance.
- They're also financing my car.

- How much do you owe?
- 43.000.

You're rich. Are you available?
My machine's busted. I still owe 4000.

- Goodbye!
- I wouldn't do that.

The Islands Savings bank lent
the money to Merkur. They'll collect.

So Nazim and I can't afford
a new washing machine?

- Don't count on it.
- Sad. The wedding's off.

- They also owe the tax office.
- Who doesn't?

- Nellemann.
- Inspector Hauge. Morning.

Morning, Hauge.

- What is this?
- Yes, what a mess.

When is the raid taking place?

Our fraud squad will wait for you.

That's what I wanted to hear.

It's complex.
Merkur includes at least 15 companies.

Say when you're ready.

I promise. I promise.

I spoke with the bank manager.
He almost had a heart attack.

183 million kroner...

I gave five bank directors
apoplexies this morning.

They're in a crisis meeting
scalping each other.

Your friends are just arriving.
Have to go.

Hauge. This is Frandsen.

The one who thinks
we're lazy up here?

- We'd like to talk to Harald Beyer.
- The nice man may be busy.

He's donated an expensive painting
to cheer up children in the cancer ward.

It's a problem.
He's got friends in high places.

We'll raid him at 12.

He's yours after that.
Until then he's under surveillance.

- Did Beyer order the killing?
- We're investigating.

We're looking for Arly Sørensen.
He's a convicted hit man.

I see.

It's never nice talking money.

Sigrid Krogh...

last week transferred

150 million kroner to a company.

- Vanuatu?
- Vanuatu.

Owned by
her 11-year-old son Magnus.

He's rich now.

- Where is he now?
- At home, I think.

Alone? Who's with him?

She lived with a girlfriend.
A talented violinist.

No dad?

There was no room.
She may have paid him off.

Can I talk to this girlfriend?

Frandsen, shall we look
at the Danish branch's accounts?

Let's do it.

Ditte, did you find
the homeless woman?

Call me.

Inger? Inger Håkonson?

Hallgrim Hallgrimsson, Danish police.

- May I ask you something?
- Yes.

- May I sit down?
- Please.

Hallgrimsson.
That sounds Icelandic.

Yes, it is.

It's a lovely church.
Hallgrim's Church in Reykjavik.

We celebrated Christmas there.

And we went to the Blue Lagoon.

It was snowing.

We swam in the dark, warm water
through the steam.

But you'd know about that.

It's hard to move for all the tourists.

We didn't see any.
Sigrid hired the lagoon for the day.

Why was Sigrid in Copenhagen?

- Business.
- Who was she meeting?

She minds the shop, I cook.

Beyer, for example.
did he know she was there?

Possibly.

She was going on to London?

And Vanuatu?

I was taking Magnus to London.

And moving on from there?

Four days ago
she promised me a new kitchen.

The next day we had to pack up
the whole house in 24 hours.

I wasn't ready for that
so we had a fight.

We screamed at each other.

That's how it was
the last time I saw her.

The house is in my name.

I talked to the bank today and...

it's been mortgaged twice.

Is that possible?

- Can I talk to Magnus?
- He's out skiing.

He's trying to be brave.

Last night...

they told him his mother was dead.

He didn't want me to comfort him.

He rang his dad.

He's arrived to pick him up.

I'll never see him again.

Because I was only his mum's girlfriend.

Magnus?

Dad?

I've got something to sort out.

In half an hour
I'll be back for you.

We'll drive to Copenhagen.

- Okay.
- All right?

Just half an hour.

- Do you want to come along?
- Yes.

Frandsen, it's me. I know why
Sigrid and Arly were arguing.

Yes?

She was going to take their son
with her to Vanuatu.

Come again.

Arly is Magnus's father.
He just picked him up.

- Where are they going?
- I'm tailing them.

By killing her.
he gets access to her son's money.

- You're wrong about that.
- But he will.

Are you there?

Hi, Ditte.

I can't find the old lady.

- Is something wrong?
- No. You can't find her?

I found out who she is.
She isn't old. She's only 45.

She goes to the shelter for coffee.
But not this morning.

You said she seemed afraid?

Put out an APB
and check with the shelter people.

Just a moment.

Just a moment, Hallgrim.

Look at this.

- Was she crushed?
- Yes.

Why didn't I see this door yesterday?

Call you back, Jens!

What?

Look at this.

Karl! Secure this door.

Why didn't we see that yesterday?

We've got one of Sergei's rescuers.

He jumped from the truck
and pulled Sergei out.

- Are you sure?
- I recognise that limp.

This is from the BG Bank, 9 June 1999.

- He also looks like this.
- That's Palle Pis. Is he out?

Has he got the brains
to organise something like that?

- Who wrote the script?
- He's Leslie Berthelsen's lackey.

Leslie?

Leslie's in isolation.

His ex-girlfriend
is testifying against him.

He'll get 16 years.

What about Palle Pis?

- Intensify surveillance.
- Yes.

You won't bring him in?

- He sprang a prisoner.
- With respect, your word is not enough.

- Not enough?
- It's not personal.

But we can't let you
be compromised in court.

Let's find the other two.

Are you ready?

How could you lose Arly?
It wasn't even snowing.

Arly just called Beyer.
And I quote...

"Let us settle."

Beyer says "You're welcome."

He was paid to kill her.

- What's your plan?
- We have people there.

Let's hear what they have to say.

I'll only be a moment.

What a bloody mess, eh?

Yes.

Poor little Sigrid.

- Who did this?
- We'll find out.

They know they're being bugged.

- Would you like something?
- Magnus is in the car.

Oh yes, Magnus.

Your share.
2. 18 million Danish kroner.

Is that all?

He's paying Beyer?

It was the deal with Sigrid.
I'll be lucky to get half of it back.

It's dirty money.

Yes.

Beyer, if I were you
I'd get out of here quick.

What?

Sigrid bought a one-way ticket
for a reason.

No problem, I've raised 300 million.
We'll ride out the storm.

Don't underestimate Sigrid.

What was she doing in Copenhagen?

It was him, of course. It was.

- Who?
- The bank manager.

He was worried.
They met and went to a strip joint.

She rang me at 2 a.m.

She left
after he became aggressive.

- You'll find him?
- You bet I will.

2,18 million in black money.
We're moving in.

- Look after the boy, eh?
- What?

His mum just died
and now we're arresting his dad.

Yes, of course.

- Yes, Hallgrim?
- We're moving in for an arrest.

About time you informed us.

Did you see the bank manager?

- Did you ask for his alibi?
- I certainly did not.

I think you should.

Stand still! Stand still!

Let me go!

Let me go!

Let him go!
Let him go, damn you.

Magnus...

Magnus, ignore these arseholes.
I'll be out again in an hour.

Get lost.

Get lost, I said!

Henrik Nielsen.
you're the CEO of the Islands Bank.

Was.

I was the CEO.
They dismissed me.

Everyone knows.
It was in all the papers.

And on TV.

- How long did you work there?
- All my life.

My dad merged
the small savings banks

to establish
the Islands Saving Bank.

Dad thought big.

Henrik thought shit.

He told me so.

He was over the moon when...

I made the first deal
with Merkur Finance.

10 million kroner
after one meeting.

He was pleased as Punch then.

You lent 10 million to Sigrid?

What then?

Yes, what...

Merkur Finance grew and grew.

- So did their need for capital.
- So Sigrid borrowed more?

And you checked her security?

- In the beginning, yes.
- The beginning?

She met all the repayments.

It was a gigantic company.
Enormous!

The final 50 million
was really just a formality.

50 million?

A formality?

Sigrid had vision... style.

She had an honest face.

When did you first suspect
that it might be a scam?

A week ago.

She started missing instalments.
I couldn't contact her.

I called a Norwegian bank.

It appeared that...

they'd lent her money
on the security.

And you got angry?

What happened next?

Henrik, what happened next?

She...

She called to say
she was in Copenhagen...

and that it was all
a big misunderstanding.

We had dinner.

She invited me to a nightclub.

She offered me 5 million kroner
to keep my mouth shut.

- What did you say?
- I told her to get stuffed.

- What happened then?
- She left.

What did you do?

I stayed at the club.

Are you sure you didn't follow her?

Of course you did.

- She'd ruined your life.
- Why are you...

She ruined your life.

I met a girl.

What girl?

A girl at... the club.

What was her name.
the girl at the club?

I can't remember her name.

She had a tattoo on...

under her knickers.

How did you pay?

- How did I pay?
- The stripper.

I used my bank card.

May I have your bank card?

Yes.

Have you got
Sigrid's autopsy report?

Yes.

What about that broken finger?

No explanation.

Anything else I need to know?

No.

Okay.

Should I make you dinner tomorrow?

That sounds really... nice.

- I'm not a great cook.
- Try oysters. You can't ruin them.

Frandsen's here. Come in!

- I look forward to dinner.
- Likewise.

Come in.

It's open.

Well, it seems that
Leslie organised Sergei's escape.

Holsoe went through
the security videos.

Leslie wouldn't do it for free.
What did Sergei do for him?

I've got something on my mind.

I owe you an apology.

I pry into people's papers.
It's an occupational hazard.

- Drop it.
- No, a proper apology.

I'd like to buy you dinner.

Our allowance includes meals.

No, I mean a really good dinner.
At the Theatre Cafe.

It's nice of you
but I've got an engagement.

Okay.

By the way.
Nazim talked to the bank manager.

He was in cuffs
at the time of the murder.

Deservedly so. But why?

He went with a hooker
after Sigrid left.

Sex without love
is better than no sex at all.

See you.

- How do you feel?
- Fine, thank you.

Is it my turn?

We're investigating
a woman's murder.

What kind of woman?

An executive.
involved in serious fraud.

- Was she a wife, lover, mother?
- She was a mother.

She leaves an 11-year-old boy.

We had to arrest his father.

He didn't kill her.

- Did you talk to the boy?
- No, I didn't.

You lost your mother recently?

Yes.

How were you told?

My sister called to say
she had died.

How did she tell you?

She gave up
when she heard I wasn't coming.

You were told your mother was dead
and it was your fault?

Do you feel it was your fault?

I failed her completely.
I didn't even go to the funeral.

There's always a reason
for not turning up.

At first, I went home a couple of times.
but the last 20 or 30 years...

Did she have
any last words for you?

She told my sister
that I should forgive her.

- It was the other way round.
- Why?

She was on morphine.

Or she meant it.

Sorry, I started work
yesterday morning.

Fine.

- What did you say?
- Perhaps she meant it.

That you should forgive her.

Sometimes the strong party
is really the weak one.

And vice versa.

Hi. I'm standing in the cellar.

- Have you found her?
- No.

- Are her things still there?
- Yes.

Her shoes and trousers were soaked
but she only took off her coat.

It was crumpled by a chair.

- It's still here.
- Check it. Carefully.

It's soaked in blood.

- Get it over to Forensics.
- Okay.

So sometimes the tormentor
is the victim and vice versa.

Did I say that?

That's how I understood it.

Would you like a hot shower first?

I'll find you some dry clothes.

Hi, Frandsen.

- Nice work on Ulla Torp-Hansen.
- Who?

- The bag lady.
- Is that her name?

- You didn't know?
- No.

Ten years ago, a man shot
his family and himself.

The wife survived, Ulla.

He went bust and Sigrid and Arly
came debt collecting.

They went after him
and his debt exploded.

When Ulla was discharged

they pursued her
till she was on the street.

stripped of everything.

Ulla, this is your appointed
defence lawyer, Ole Thomsen.

Are you ready?

How long have you lived
on the street?

Ever since...

You lost your family?

Helene and Lise and Mille.

Your girls?

They're...

two and five and seven.

Didn't anybody look after you?

- What happened last night?
- You don't have to answer.

I was feeding my pets when...

Then...

I recognised her.

She was afraid of me.

Was she wearing that ring?

It was my mother's.

She got it from my grandmother.

And then I got it.

She ran over to open the door
but I slammed it shut.

Her head got caught.

You were confused.

I kept on slamming the door
on her head.

The ring was hard to get off.

- She wasn't dead.
- Yes, Ulla, she was.

I thought so too.

But when I got back to the cellar...

I could see her crawling
across the courtyard.

Then...

she died.

Did she have kids?

Yes.

She had a boy.

I'm just like her now.

Thank you.
I don't need anything else.

A mentally ill woman drifts around the city
for ten years without help?

Money.

We'll recommend treatment.

She had to commit murder
to receive care.

We'll pass the case on to Bagger.
He can take the credit.

Hallgrim made the breakthrough.

Don't underestimate him.

The trick is to freeze the meat
and slice it thinly.

Then you marinate it
in oil, ketchup.

barbecue sauce, soy sauce.
lots of garlic and lemon...

- Hallgrimsson.
- Hi.

Sorry I didn't stop.
I had another appointment.

I'll be seeing you.

- Hauge.
- Sergei Varsjinskij called.

- No!
- He called from 2304 1962.

Wait.

I can't go back now. You?

We're staying.

It'll take time.
The line's blocked. I'll call back.

Okay.

- Is he in Oslo?
- Come on. come on...

It can't take that long
to find a name.

This is bad. It's 21 Oslo Street.
The occupant is Tina Jensen.

- That sounds Danish.
- See you there.

She's Danish.

Her real name is Berit Grenå.

She's in your Witness Protection.

She was a crown witness
against Leslie Berthelsen.

They were lovers.
She saw him kill a man.

She was going to testify?

Sergei killed her
to repay Leslie for rescuing him.
