The Killing (2007–2012): Season 1, Episode 18 - Episode #1.18 - full transcript
We have to search the canals.
It's the same perpetrator.
- Mette had just moved.
- Who were the movers?
Her furniture was stored
at a company called Merkur.
- Do you remember the employees?
- Some of them.
We're looking for a man
who was about 25, 30 at the time.
There might be someone.
I don't remember his name.
There was a picture of him
with my father. What has he done?
I hope you can forgive me.
See you, Mum and Dad.
- Was Amir involved?
- No.
Sarah Lund came
and went through all her things.
There's something wrong.
We have new information
that changes everything.
From now on we communicate
through our lawyer.
- We want to talk to your employees.
- Vagn, come here.
Come along now or we'll arrest you.
You what?
That's you 15 years ago.
- How well did you know Nanna?
- All her life.
Did you know she planned
to travel on 31 st October?
Where to?
- Have you seen this before?
- Can I go?
Do you know other Merkur movers?
Why am I here?
I have some questions
about Vagn Skaerbaek.
I've known Vagn for 20 years.
His father abandoned him
and his mother drank herself to death.
He's always been our friend.
No matter what you say I don't give a shit.
One of your movers saw Nanna
the day she was leaving.
He's the only one who knew
she was going away. Was it Vagn?
There's nothing more to say
His mother didn't drink herself to death.
She died giving birth.
That weekend when...
Were you working?
No. Vagn said
they didn't need me after all.
Why not?
A customer had cancelled.
Then I could drive my cab,
so it was fine.
I ran into the owner.
He was pissed off
because the move had been cancelled.
Vagn cancelled it.
- Are you the one who talked?
- No.
What would I have to say?
- Are the boys ready?
- Did you lie to us, Vagn?
I've always been there for you.
Always.
The lord mayor knew
about the unlawful activities.
The lord mayor deliberately misled
the police and their inquiries.
- Will the lord mayor be charged?
- That's up to the police.
- It's pure fabrication.
- There are minutes of the meeting.
They were forged.
Can't you feel everything
crumbling beneath you?
Do you think you can save yourself
by conjuring up witnesses?
And what about you? How did
the surveillance tape disappear?
And how could the party's flat
be spattered with blood
for two weeks
without anybody noticing.
And how could Rie suddenly
get a tip about Gert Stokke?
You're no better than me,
but you just don't know it.
They found something in the woods.
They're digging it up.
What's that? There.
Try scraping it.
Put out a search for Vagn Skaerbaek.
- He's not there.
- OK. Check the building.
Hi, there.
Can I help you?
Hey! Stop!
Meyer!
THE KILLING
We're going to Leon Frevert's.
We'll question his brother.
Copy that.
I don't see my brother often,
but he usually tells me his plans.
Doesn't he normally
have more furniture?
Of course. Three weeks ago
the place was fully furnished.
His table and couch
and all his old albums.
So you didn't know
he had given notice?
No. He actually
liked living here.
When did he plan on going to Vietnam?
- He didn't tell me about it.
- Didn't he tell you about it?
He had tickets for this weekend.
He had packed his bags.
He sold everything. And you claim
he didn't tell you about it?
- He never travels.
- Do you know where he might be?
I have no idea.
I'm just as surprised as you are.
- Does he have a girlfriend?
- Not now. He was married.
Any little ones?
Children? No?
- Could he be with friends?
- He doesn't really have any.
He doesn't have any.
Are we done?
We need to write a report
at the station.
- Do I have to repeat everything?
- Yes.
You can't be serious.
We'll question him as a witness,
but he doesn't know anything.
He promised to let us know
if his brother contacts him.
We had him.
His cab was found near the movers.
He left in his own car.
There's nothing we can do now.
We're searching for the car.
His phone is off,
and we're ready to trace it.
Why didn't we know
that he worked for Birk Larsen?
- We interviewed him.
- He didn't tell us anything.
If we'd known
he worked for Birk Larsen
we wouldn't have egg on our faces now.
It's fine.
Check the place out.
- I didn't interview him.
- We've been working round the clock.
- Everyone is doing their best.
- Give his description to the media.
And take Vagn Skaerbaek in
for questioning now.
The police are reticent
but have put out a search
for Leon Frevert.
Observers of the case believe
the perpetrator hasn't been found yet.
It's given rise to new speculations
about the mayoral election.
The case has had
consequences for Hartmann
whose party flat is considered
to be the scene of the crime.
The basis for the police report
filed by Hartmann is crumbling
since witnesses have stated
that the lord mayor was not privy...
We need an update from the police.
Will you take care of that?
And send out a press release stating
that we uphold our position on Bremer.
Emphasise that I've been cleared
of all suspicions.
I hope the public
gets the same impression.
What did Bremer say?
Nothing worth mentioning.
Do we have anything to eat?
Yes.
He accused me of covering up
details in the case.
What details?
The surveillance tape
and the party flat.
And that we got information
on Stokke in an underhanded way.
- Salin is waiting outside.
- Here? Now? Why?
- He doesn't have time.
- That's what I said.
- I'll ask him to come back later.
- No.
I'll talk to him and get it over with.
I'm sorry, Erik.
I didn't know you were here.
- It's way past your deadline.
- We have a new editor.
There's no resting on our laurels.
- Will he mind if you have a drink?
- No, thanks. I've given it up.
- Really?
- Completely.
- Well done. Good for you.
- Thanks.
- What's on your mind?
- Just a few minor points.
I'd like to know more
about the surveillance tape.
- You talked to Bremer.
- He didn't mention it.
I have to get this straight.
Out with it.
Wasn't it rather convenient for you
that the tape disappeared?
You're seen taking the car keys.
Yes. I suppose that's true.
But it suited Holck best.
Yes. That's right.
Is it true that the party flat
was left untouched for two weeks?
Yes, it's true.
You had lots of meetings
and didn't use the flat?
We hold our meetings here
or at the campaign office.
Sorry. I've just been
put on this story recently...
It's fine.
Do you know that the police
have cleared me of all suspicion?
- I do know that.
- Really?
I'm only asking because of the rumours
about Rie Skovgaard.
The only way
she got information on Stokke
was by spreading her legs
for Bremer's adviser.
Phillip Dessau.
If it's true, good for her.
She's a looker.
Rumour has it that she lured him to
a hotel on the night of your release.
If it's true, Dessau is finished.
I knew my sex life was of interest
to some of the press
but my adviser's...
Erik, this is beneath
a journalist of your standing.
If she's willing
to go that far for her candidate
what else is she capable of?
And then it seems a bit absurd
that you're accusing Bremer
of impeding the investigation.
If I were you, I'd tell your editor
to find someone else
to write the gossip column.
I'll have to stay
on the story a while...
- I hope we can still be friends.
- Of course.
- Make sure your sources are reliable.
- Always.
No one knows who took
the surveillance tape.
If the tape had been there,
you'd never have been a suspect.
Choose one of them.
Why didn't we hold
meetings in the flat?
Because the toilet is out of order.
We moved all activities
to the campaign office.
Fantastic.
- So we're not hiding anything?
- No.
We've been waiting for a new toilet
for over a month.
What else did he say?
Nothing much.
- Not the rumour about me and Dessau?
- He said that's how you got Stokke.
- Bremer started that one.
- Oh, right. Bremer. Obviously.
- Where were you that night?
- I told you.
- Where?
- With a friend.
- How did you get the information?
- Do you really want to know?
Stokke's secretary risked her job
by telling me.
I promised not to tell.
And that's why you weren't told.
I'm sorry.
I just don't know
what I'd do without you.
I'll call Lund. They need
to make a point of stating
that you're above suspicion.
Lund can wait.
Can't she?
- Why did Leon come to your flat?
- Where is my lawyer?
Don't worry about it.
- You haven't been charged.
- Am I no longer a suspect?
- Do you know where he is?
- Was that an apology?
He was delivering car keys.
How well do you know him?
We work together.
But we aren't friends.
- Do you know where he is?
- No idea.
He drives a cab at night.
How long has he worked with you?
A couple of years.
On and off.
Did he work for Birk Larsen
when Nanna disappeared?
Is that a yes? Did he?
We haven't seen him
the last few weeks.
But during the summer
he worked for us.
How did he get a job at Birk Larsen's?
- Through me.
- You got him the job?
Where did you get to know him?
He worked for Merkur.
That's where I met him.
He worked for Merkur 15 years ago.
Is that what you're saying?
Did he do it?
Movers see a lot of empty buildings
and warehouses.
Make a list of the places
Frevert knows.
- Ask Theis and Pernille to do it.
- Get going.
Get an overview of his relationships
the past 15 years.
We need to talk to ex-wives,
hauliers, colleagues.
Everyone who knew him
when he worked for Merkur
is to be questioned.
Someone can link him to Mette Hauge.
Find out where his cab went
after he let Nanna off.
Contact the phone company
about his calls that weekend.
OK?
What's that?
A storage hotel that Merkur owned.
Mette's father told us
that he kept the lease.
But he hasn't paid rent for two years.
He doesn't know if it still exists.
- What do forensics say?
- The body we found is Mette Hauge.
- She wasn't tied up?
- No. She was already dead.
A fractured skull, fractured clavicle,
forearm, femur and shoulder.
Jesus.
The man was thorough.
Or it was a crime of passion.
She was dressed.
And carefully wrapped
and weighed down by heavy objects.
Very different from Nanna.
- You don't think it's the same guy?
- Yes, I do.
I think he was in love with Mette.
She was his first victim.
There might be evidence of him
on her old things.
We'll check it out tomorrow.
I think we should do it now.
My youngest has an ear infection.
I promised to come home.
Then I'll see you tomorrow.
Lund, for fuck's sake.
I've been watching you for two weeks.
Your life is falling apart.
I'm saying this as your friend.
You need sleep.
I'll drive you home.
This better not take too bloody long.
Hi, honey.
How's the baby doing?
Poor baby.
I'll stop by the pharmacy
on my way home
and buy some ear drops.
Hang on a minute.
Don't be disappointed
if the card doesn't work.
No, we're on our way home.
Hang on a minute.
Lund!
Lund! God damn it!
No, it's just because...
She's a bit unbalanced these days.
Of course I make a note
of who takes the job.
What do you need it for?
We want to know
when Leon Frevert worked here.
Why?
- Is this it?
- Yes, but those are our accounts.
We have a warrant.
What about these?
Yes, but... Yes.
They're looking for Leon
and where he's been.
There's no point
in taking an interest in it.
They find a new suspect all the time.
Now it's Leon.
Before it was Vagn.
And we were dumb enough
to think there was something to it.
- Maybe you should call Vagn.
- I tried. He didn't answer.
Did something happen to Uncle Vagn?
Were the police here?
Yes.
Yes, they came to return
something I'd lost.
What was it?
It was supposed to be a surprise.
It's the key to a new house
we're moving into.
You get your own room,
and we can sit outside in the summer.
- Yes?
- What the hell are you doing?
- I found the right floor.
- You said it wouldn't take long.
I'll be there in a minute.
Lund!
- Yes?
- There's a broken window.
Hauge's door was forced, too.
- What floor are you on?
- The sixth floor. At the top.
Where?
OK. Now I can see you.
I see your flashlight in the window.
What window?
I didn't bring a flashlight.
- What? Shit!
- What's wrong?
Someone's up there with you.
Hang on. I'll be right up.
Lund, are you there?
Good. I'm on my way.
Lund. Hello?
Can you hear me? Hello?
Meyer, the elevator.
He's taking the elevator down.
I'm at the elevator.
Can you hear me?
The elevator is empty.
- Lund, I'm coming up.
- I don't think he's up here.
- He's down there.
- I'm coming.
Meyer, what's going on?
Jan. Jan, look at me.
Look at me.
More fluid.
Oxygen saturation is low.
Pulse high.
He's coding.
Paddles!
- Keep ventilating.
- Here is more fluid.
OK. Charging.
Clear!
I came as soon as I could.
- Any news?
- They're operating.
What were you doing in that warehouse?
We hoped to find a trace.
The perpetrator must have been there
for the same reason.
- Where is he?
- On the operating table.
I'll take you to the office.
DAY 18
THURSDAY 20 NOVEMBER
7:28AM
It's about making the city attractive
to eco-friendly companies.
The environment doesn't need a policy
that panders to the industry.
No one's pandering here.
Is it possible to find common ground
on the environment?
Yes. But first we need to be
perfectly clear
about Hartmann's credibility.
- Can we stick to the subject?
- It's about the murder case.
There are unanswered questions.
My office and I have been cleared.
The police have a new suspect.
Obviously Hartmann's credibility
is at stake.
We won't collaborate
until there's no doubt about it.
The only one in doubt
is the lord mayor himself.
I know we can easily find
common ground.
But it will be without
the lord mayor and his party.
Thank you for coming
and good luck with the election.
It's time for the news at 7:30.
- That went well. Thank you.
- Thank you.
See you at the next debate.
- Any news about the officer?
- He's still on the table.
Hartmann, can we make another date?
- Certainly. The same thing?
- Exactly.
I can arrange that for you.
- Hi. Do you have a minute?
- You got one yesterday.
I've made inquiries about
the envelope the tape was in.
It's the same type your office uses.
I borrowed one.
If it contained a Pulitzer prize,
wouldn't the police have noticed?
I talked to the people
in your campaign office.
They've been so busy
that you had to rent
adjacent rooms for meetings.
Yes. So?
Is that a problem?
It seems like a waste of money
since you have the party flat.
There's a logical explanation
for that.
I believe my office sent an email
to your editorial office about it.
The toilet?
I contacted the company
where you ordered a new one.
Good. Excellent.
See you around.
It turns out
that you cancelled the order.
When it was to be delivered
on 1 st November
someone called and said
it wasn't needed after all.
So I thought someone must have been
in the flat that day
and didn't want a new toilet
installed in a blood-spattered flat.
If you write that nonsense,
you'll feel the wrath of our lawyers.
Understand?
Fine.
I'll find the answers myself.
I brought you something to eat.
May I sit down?
They played with magic markers
last night.
They drew a picture of the doctor
to cheer up their sister.
She has an ear infection.
How old is Marie?
Neel is the youngest.
Marie is the middle child.
- And Ella is the eldest?
- She's ten.
What happened out there?
He waited in the car while I went in.
And then...
...he saw a suspect
in the building and...
Monitor his blood pressure carefully.
The operation was successful,
but he's lost a lot of blood.
Take a look at this.
The first bullet
went right through him.
The second was heading for his heart
but hit his cigarette lighter
and changed direction
and penetrated his left lung.
Will he survive?
Yes, he'll make it.
Thank you.
This is for you. Tell him
he should stop smoking anyway.
You can see him now.
- Has he said anything?
- He hasn't woken up yet.
- When can I talk to him?
- When he wakes up.
Come and see him tonight.
Luckily, Jan Meyer's condition
is stable.
The doctors think he'll recover.
We're checking the warehouse.
We're not lacking in motivation
so get word to me
if you find anything at all.
The perpetrator knew
about Mette's things.
He read about us dragging the canals.
We're looking into it. I've put
a new team leader on the case.
Go home, Lund. You're incapable
of leading an investigation now.
Any news about the car?
Meyer was shot with your weapon.
The perpetrator shot to kill.
We have to arrest him.
Not till we've heard
from the German police.
Frevert's car was found.
He probably sailed to Germany
last night.
He didn't go to Germany.
He doesn't have his passport or money.
- But that's what he's done.
- The shooter wasn't stupid.
That was before he made the papers.
Let me check it out.
Two hours.
Then I'll do whatever you say.
Brix!
Leon Frevert was seen
at Hoje Taastrup station two hours ago.
He ran off when he was recognised.
- Can anyone confirm that?
- The surveillance cameras.
- Are patrol cars in the area?
- I'll check.
He's on foot.
He'll need a vehicle.
Contact the banks.
He doesn't have any money.
Keep me posted.
A ball valve needs to be installed
under the sink.
I'll see to it.
- The key is in the ignition.
- Right.
Here are the keys to the garage,
the gate and to the flat.
This is for the boys.
Do whatever you want with it.
Vagn!
Come upstairs so we can
iron this out once and for all.
Thanks.
Vagn, it's because Leon told us
some things about you.
And they sounded strange.
I'm sorry we didn't talk to you
about it first.
But I still think they sound strange.
Leon said you cancelled
a big customer that Saturday.
The customer wanted to pay off
the books. You said we don't do that.
So I said he could do it himself.
But I guess I shouldn't have.
You also lied about your mother.
My uncle always told me
she drank herself to death.
I didn't hear the truth
till last year.
I don't think it's anyone's business.
Of course it isn't.
They've had us jumping through hoops.
And this time
you bore the brunt of it.
We're very sorry, Vagn.
Yes.
- Did you tell the boys?
- No.
In a way, I'm the one
who should apologise.
I'm the one who got you to hire him.
Did they say where he is?
No.
We'll finish the house,
so we can get out of this flat.
Yes. We're going over there today
with the boys.
Anton doesn't like the idea of moving.
So we want to make it
as easy as possible.
Don't we have to be at a customer's
in 15 minutes?
Yeah.
It's our lawyer.
The police want to see
if Leon has been in the house.
He hasn't. We've had people there
since yesterday.
Don't let the cops in. See you.
No one cancelled
the order for a toilet.
- We have to be absolutely sure.
- Of course.
It's probably just an excuse
for not delivering.
But it's still a good story.
I want you to contact Lund.
The legal department will sue
for libel if Salin prints it, right?
- You talked to them, didn't you?
- It's ringing.
- Lund here.
- Troels Hartmann.
Sorry to bother you. I was sorry
to hear about your colleague.
Thanks. What do you want?
Did you find out where
the surveillance tape was sent from?
It was in a standard envelope.
Could it have been from my office?
- Was it?
- No.
A journalist made that claim.
He says someone
from my office was in the flat.
I wouldn't know. Frevert's ex-wife
is waiting to be questioned.
Do you know more about it?
There's no indication
of anyone being there after the perp.
I have to go. Lund here.
Thank you.
- Salin is bluffing.
- I thought so.
I'd like to see you in my office
in an hour.
Thanks. Bye.
You have three minutes.
- We'll be ready in three minutes.
- That's great.
- Nice to see you.
- I'm behind you all the way.
I really appreciate that.
Hi. Welcome.
You'll be asked about the Nanna case.
No problem.
- What a day. No wonder you're beat.
- I feel just fine.
Hopefully you can collect yourself
before the group leader debate.
We'll get high ratings.
You should concentrate on the vermin
you paid to keep me company.
- We're preparing to file suit.
- Really? Another one.
Do you think I need to pay people
to dig up dirt on you?
The rumours you fed Salin
are unfounded.
Salin? I thought
I was your biggest problem.
We're ready.
Please have a seat.
Half an hour ago he tried to use
an ATM on Toftegaards Plads.
- We were there two minutes later.
- Keep an eye on the parks.
- Hello?
- Sarah Lund?
- Speaking.
- This is Leon Frevert.
- Where are you?
- I just heard it on the radio.
I didn't do it.
I didn't do it.
Do you understand?
- I didn't shoot anyone.
- We just want to talk to you.
I tried to help you.
I told you I let her off at the flat.
I told you about the station.
Why didn't you say you knew her?
- You have no idea.
- So tell me.
Tell me where you are. I'll come
and get you, and then we can talk.
Leon?
Hello?
He turned off his mobile,
but he's on Roskildevej.
- Why did he talk for so long?
- He doesn't know we traced it.
Why did he turn off the phone?
You think he's doing it again.
Get his brother back. Get him.
OK.
For Christ's sake, Theis.
We're 20 minutes late.
We have to find that shop.
We have a whole zoo here.
We don't have time to paint.
We have to get Anton's room done.
- Theis here.
- Hi. It's me.
- Where is that dinosaur shop?
- We can't take the boys to the house.
What's wrong?
The police are searching the house.
- What?
- They think Leon is hiding there.
Did our lawyer tell them
he hasn't been there?
Yes, but it didn't do any good.
We'll have to wait. Bye.
- No evidence upstairs.
- Check the basement.
Hello. Go outside, please.
- Your wife gave us the key...
- I want you to leave now.
- We have to search it.
- Get out.
We have a warrant.
I don't give a fuck
about your warrant.
- I'll have to ask you to leave.
- He's not here.
Fine. We'll be back later.
We have to be at the studio
in 40 minutes.
I'm going to the cafeteria.
- Fine.
- Hi. Give him this.
- Here.
- Great. Thanks.
Something wrong?
Yes. I went
to the plumbing company.
They still claim someone here
contacted them on the Saturday.
Well, they aren't the most
reliable people, are they?
No, that's true.
I also checked
if someone from our office
had a package sent to Lund.
Why?
The receipts show...
...that Rie was the only one
who sent something on that night.
I must admit
I started feeling paranoid.
The police say Salin's claims
are unfounded.
Just this once, let's trust them
to know what they're doing.
Sure. I also have good news.
- What's that?
- Bremer fired Phillip Dessau.
Get going.
You look great.
- Troels here.
- Erik Salin. You asked me to call?
I did. Yes.
My lawyer is prepared
to sue you for libel
if you're dumb enough
to print your allegation.
You have some nerve.
And so do you if you make
allegations about me
my office or Rie Skovgaard.
I'm actually trying to help you.
Are you really?
How kind of you.
Thanks, but no thanks.
I assume this is
the last time the two of us...
Hello? Hartmann? Hello?
You rented a car on the internet,
and it was picked up at a gas station.
It was for my company.
This isn't a joke.
Where is your brother?
I told you I don't know.
You withdrew 32,000 kroner
from the bank.
For your company as well?
I don't have time for this.
Did you give him the money?
No. I have it here.
Where are you meeting him?
My brother is odd,
but he didn't kill that girl.
Where are you meeting him?
My colleague was shot last night.
If you want to help your brother,
help me find him before the others do.
It's for his own good.
- He's mixed up in something.
- What?
He was nervous.
As if he were afraid.
- Of the police?
- No.
He was interested in the case.
He said you weren't doing a good job.
What time are you meeting him?
- At 9pm.
- Where?
- What if he resists?
- Where is he?
Try picturing it with new paint
and all our furniture here.
Look. That's the living room.
Take a look. Isn't it nice?
This house sucks.
Really?
It sucks.
Anton, where are you going?
Leave him alone.
Emil, do you want to see
your room? It's upstairs.
Go up and have a look.
Anton! Pizza.
It's a Russian coaster
on pier 432.
The suspect's name is Leon Frevert.
He mustn't know we're there.
Have boats in the water.
Keep your heads down.
Copy that, DCI Lund.
Awaiting further instructions.
There's a rental car
behind the container.
- He's still on board.
- Good.
Don't harm him.
I hope you can control your men.
- I'm serious. I have to talk to him.
- I'll do my best.
I'll go in alone.
Be ready to apprehend him if he runs.
Hey! Hey!
- Turn your lights off.
- Good evening.
We're from the prosecutor's office.
Turn your headlights off now.
- We're here to talk to Sarah Lund.
- That's me.
An inquiry has been launched.
We're apprehending a suspect,
so get in your car and leave.
You have to come with us.
I've handed in my report.
- You can talk to Meyer.
- That will be difficult.
Jan Meyer is dead.
He's in the recovery room.
I talked to the hospital.
- Assign the command to someone.
- Call Brix and have it confirmed.
Talk to him yourself.
- Hello?
- This is Brix.
Meyer died 45 minutes ago.
He was recovering.
I don't know what happened.
Assign the command to someone else
and go
with the prosecutor's assistant.
Hello?
Yes, we'll bring him in now.
We...
It's the same perpetrator.
- Mette had just moved.
- Who were the movers?
Her furniture was stored
at a company called Merkur.
- Do you remember the employees?
- Some of them.
We're looking for a man
who was about 25, 30 at the time.
There might be someone.
I don't remember his name.
There was a picture of him
with my father. What has he done?
I hope you can forgive me.
See you, Mum and Dad.
- Was Amir involved?
- No.
Sarah Lund came
and went through all her things.
There's something wrong.
We have new information
that changes everything.
From now on we communicate
through our lawyer.
- We want to talk to your employees.
- Vagn, come here.
Come along now or we'll arrest you.
You what?
That's you 15 years ago.
- How well did you know Nanna?
- All her life.
Did you know she planned
to travel on 31 st October?
Where to?
- Have you seen this before?
- Can I go?
Do you know other Merkur movers?
Why am I here?
I have some questions
about Vagn Skaerbaek.
I've known Vagn for 20 years.
His father abandoned him
and his mother drank herself to death.
He's always been our friend.
No matter what you say I don't give a shit.
One of your movers saw Nanna
the day she was leaving.
He's the only one who knew
she was going away. Was it Vagn?
There's nothing more to say
His mother didn't drink herself to death.
She died giving birth.
That weekend when...
Were you working?
No. Vagn said
they didn't need me after all.
Why not?
A customer had cancelled.
Then I could drive my cab,
so it was fine.
I ran into the owner.
He was pissed off
because the move had been cancelled.
Vagn cancelled it.
- Are you the one who talked?
- No.
What would I have to say?
- Are the boys ready?
- Did you lie to us, Vagn?
I've always been there for you.
Always.
The lord mayor knew
about the unlawful activities.
The lord mayor deliberately misled
the police and their inquiries.
- Will the lord mayor be charged?
- That's up to the police.
- It's pure fabrication.
- There are minutes of the meeting.
They were forged.
Can't you feel everything
crumbling beneath you?
Do you think you can save yourself
by conjuring up witnesses?
And what about you? How did
the surveillance tape disappear?
And how could the party's flat
be spattered with blood
for two weeks
without anybody noticing.
And how could Rie suddenly
get a tip about Gert Stokke?
You're no better than me,
but you just don't know it.
They found something in the woods.
They're digging it up.
What's that? There.
Try scraping it.
Put out a search for Vagn Skaerbaek.
- He's not there.
- OK. Check the building.
Hi, there.
Can I help you?
Hey! Stop!
Meyer!
THE KILLING
We're going to Leon Frevert's.
We'll question his brother.
Copy that.
I don't see my brother often,
but he usually tells me his plans.
Doesn't he normally
have more furniture?
Of course. Three weeks ago
the place was fully furnished.
His table and couch
and all his old albums.
So you didn't know
he had given notice?
No. He actually
liked living here.
When did he plan on going to Vietnam?
- He didn't tell me about it.
- Didn't he tell you about it?
He had tickets for this weekend.
He had packed his bags.
He sold everything. And you claim
he didn't tell you about it?
- He never travels.
- Do you know where he might be?
I have no idea.
I'm just as surprised as you are.
- Does he have a girlfriend?
- Not now. He was married.
Any little ones?
Children? No?
- Could he be with friends?
- He doesn't really have any.
He doesn't have any.
Are we done?
We need to write a report
at the station.
- Do I have to repeat everything?
- Yes.
You can't be serious.
We'll question him as a witness,
but he doesn't know anything.
He promised to let us know
if his brother contacts him.
We had him.
His cab was found near the movers.
He left in his own car.
There's nothing we can do now.
We're searching for the car.
His phone is off,
and we're ready to trace it.
Why didn't we know
that he worked for Birk Larsen?
- We interviewed him.
- He didn't tell us anything.
If we'd known
he worked for Birk Larsen
we wouldn't have egg on our faces now.
It's fine.
Check the place out.
- I didn't interview him.
- We've been working round the clock.
- Everyone is doing their best.
- Give his description to the media.
And take Vagn Skaerbaek in
for questioning now.
The police are reticent
but have put out a search
for Leon Frevert.
Observers of the case believe
the perpetrator hasn't been found yet.
It's given rise to new speculations
about the mayoral election.
The case has had
consequences for Hartmann
whose party flat is considered
to be the scene of the crime.
The basis for the police report
filed by Hartmann is crumbling
since witnesses have stated
that the lord mayor was not privy...
We need an update from the police.
Will you take care of that?
And send out a press release stating
that we uphold our position on Bremer.
Emphasise that I've been cleared
of all suspicions.
I hope the public
gets the same impression.
What did Bremer say?
Nothing worth mentioning.
Do we have anything to eat?
Yes.
He accused me of covering up
details in the case.
What details?
The surveillance tape
and the party flat.
And that we got information
on Stokke in an underhanded way.
- Salin is waiting outside.
- Here? Now? Why?
- He doesn't have time.
- That's what I said.
- I'll ask him to come back later.
- No.
I'll talk to him and get it over with.
I'm sorry, Erik.
I didn't know you were here.
- It's way past your deadline.
- We have a new editor.
There's no resting on our laurels.
- Will he mind if you have a drink?
- No, thanks. I've given it up.
- Really?
- Completely.
- Well done. Good for you.
- Thanks.
- What's on your mind?
- Just a few minor points.
I'd like to know more
about the surveillance tape.
- You talked to Bremer.
- He didn't mention it.
I have to get this straight.
Out with it.
Wasn't it rather convenient for you
that the tape disappeared?
You're seen taking the car keys.
Yes. I suppose that's true.
But it suited Holck best.
Yes. That's right.
Is it true that the party flat
was left untouched for two weeks?
Yes, it's true.
You had lots of meetings
and didn't use the flat?
We hold our meetings here
or at the campaign office.
Sorry. I've just been
put on this story recently...
It's fine.
Do you know that the police
have cleared me of all suspicion?
- I do know that.
- Really?
I'm only asking because of the rumours
about Rie Skovgaard.
The only way
she got information on Stokke
was by spreading her legs
for Bremer's adviser.
Phillip Dessau.
If it's true, good for her.
She's a looker.
Rumour has it that she lured him to
a hotel on the night of your release.
If it's true, Dessau is finished.
I knew my sex life was of interest
to some of the press
but my adviser's...
Erik, this is beneath
a journalist of your standing.
If she's willing
to go that far for her candidate
what else is she capable of?
And then it seems a bit absurd
that you're accusing Bremer
of impeding the investigation.
If I were you, I'd tell your editor
to find someone else
to write the gossip column.
I'll have to stay
on the story a while...
- I hope we can still be friends.
- Of course.
- Make sure your sources are reliable.
- Always.
No one knows who took
the surveillance tape.
If the tape had been there,
you'd never have been a suspect.
Choose one of them.
Why didn't we hold
meetings in the flat?
Because the toilet is out of order.
We moved all activities
to the campaign office.
Fantastic.
- So we're not hiding anything?
- No.
We've been waiting for a new toilet
for over a month.
What else did he say?
Nothing much.
- Not the rumour about me and Dessau?
- He said that's how you got Stokke.
- Bremer started that one.
- Oh, right. Bremer. Obviously.
- Where were you that night?
- I told you.
- Where?
- With a friend.
- How did you get the information?
- Do you really want to know?
Stokke's secretary risked her job
by telling me.
I promised not to tell.
And that's why you weren't told.
I'm sorry.
I just don't know
what I'd do without you.
I'll call Lund. They need
to make a point of stating
that you're above suspicion.
Lund can wait.
Can't she?
- Why did Leon come to your flat?
- Where is my lawyer?
Don't worry about it.
- You haven't been charged.
- Am I no longer a suspect?
- Do you know where he is?
- Was that an apology?
He was delivering car keys.
How well do you know him?
We work together.
But we aren't friends.
- Do you know where he is?
- No idea.
He drives a cab at night.
How long has he worked with you?
A couple of years.
On and off.
Did he work for Birk Larsen
when Nanna disappeared?
Is that a yes? Did he?
We haven't seen him
the last few weeks.
But during the summer
he worked for us.
How did he get a job at Birk Larsen's?
- Through me.
- You got him the job?
Where did you get to know him?
He worked for Merkur.
That's where I met him.
He worked for Merkur 15 years ago.
Is that what you're saying?
Did he do it?
Movers see a lot of empty buildings
and warehouses.
Make a list of the places
Frevert knows.
- Ask Theis and Pernille to do it.
- Get going.
Get an overview of his relationships
the past 15 years.
We need to talk to ex-wives,
hauliers, colleagues.
Everyone who knew him
when he worked for Merkur
is to be questioned.
Someone can link him to Mette Hauge.
Find out where his cab went
after he let Nanna off.
Contact the phone company
about his calls that weekend.
OK?
What's that?
A storage hotel that Merkur owned.
Mette's father told us
that he kept the lease.
But he hasn't paid rent for two years.
He doesn't know if it still exists.
- What do forensics say?
- The body we found is Mette Hauge.
- She wasn't tied up?
- No. She was already dead.
A fractured skull, fractured clavicle,
forearm, femur and shoulder.
Jesus.
The man was thorough.
Or it was a crime of passion.
She was dressed.
And carefully wrapped
and weighed down by heavy objects.
Very different from Nanna.
- You don't think it's the same guy?
- Yes, I do.
I think he was in love with Mette.
She was his first victim.
There might be evidence of him
on her old things.
We'll check it out tomorrow.
I think we should do it now.
My youngest has an ear infection.
I promised to come home.
Then I'll see you tomorrow.
Lund, for fuck's sake.
I've been watching you for two weeks.
Your life is falling apart.
I'm saying this as your friend.
You need sleep.
I'll drive you home.
This better not take too bloody long.
Hi, honey.
How's the baby doing?
Poor baby.
I'll stop by the pharmacy
on my way home
and buy some ear drops.
Hang on a minute.
Don't be disappointed
if the card doesn't work.
No, we're on our way home.
Hang on a minute.
Lund!
Lund! God damn it!
No, it's just because...
She's a bit unbalanced these days.
Of course I make a note
of who takes the job.
What do you need it for?
We want to know
when Leon Frevert worked here.
Why?
- Is this it?
- Yes, but those are our accounts.
We have a warrant.
What about these?
Yes, but... Yes.
They're looking for Leon
and where he's been.
There's no point
in taking an interest in it.
They find a new suspect all the time.
Now it's Leon.
Before it was Vagn.
And we were dumb enough
to think there was something to it.
- Maybe you should call Vagn.
- I tried. He didn't answer.
Did something happen to Uncle Vagn?
Were the police here?
Yes.
Yes, they came to return
something I'd lost.
What was it?
It was supposed to be a surprise.
It's the key to a new house
we're moving into.
You get your own room,
and we can sit outside in the summer.
- Yes?
- What the hell are you doing?
- I found the right floor.
- You said it wouldn't take long.
I'll be there in a minute.
Lund!
- Yes?
- There's a broken window.
Hauge's door was forced, too.
- What floor are you on?
- The sixth floor. At the top.
Where?
OK. Now I can see you.
I see your flashlight in the window.
What window?
I didn't bring a flashlight.
- What? Shit!
- What's wrong?
Someone's up there with you.
Hang on. I'll be right up.
Lund, are you there?
Good. I'm on my way.
Lund. Hello?
Can you hear me? Hello?
Meyer, the elevator.
He's taking the elevator down.
I'm at the elevator.
Can you hear me?
The elevator is empty.
- Lund, I'm coming up.
- I don't think he's up here.
- He's down there.
- I'm coming.
Meyer, what's going on?
Jan. Jan, look at me.
Look at me.
More fluid.
Oxygen saturation is low.
Pulse high.
He's coding.
Paddles!
- Keep ventilating.
- Here is more fluid.
OK. Charging.
Clear!
I came as soon as I could.
- Any news?
- They're operating.
What were you doing in that warehouse?
We hoped to find a trace.
The perpetrator must have been there
for the same reason.
- Where is he?
- On the operating table.
I'll take you to the office.
DAY 18
THURSDAY 20 NOVEMBER
7:28AM
It's about making the city attractive
to eco-friendly companies.
The environment doesn't need a policy
that panders to the industry.
No one's pandering here.
Is it possible to find common ground
on the environment?
Yes. But first we need to be
perfectly clear
about Hartmann's credibility.
- Can we stick to the subject?
- It's about the murder case.
There are unanswered questions.
My office and I have been cleared.
The police have a new suspect.
Obviously Hartmann's credibility
is at stake.
We won't collaborate
until there's no doubt about it.
The only one in doubt
is the lord mayor himself.
I know we can easily find
common ground.
But it will be without
the lord mayor and his party.
Thank you for coming
and good luck with the election.
It's time for the news at 7:30.
- That went well. Thank you.
- Thank you.
See you at the next debate.
- Any news about the officer?
- He's still on the table.
Hartmann, can we make another date?
- Certainly. The same thing?
- Exactly.
I can arrange that for you.
- Hi. Do you have a minute?
- You got one yesterday.
I've made inquiries about
the envelope the tape was in.
It's the same type your office uses.
I borrowed one.
If it contained a Pulitzer prize,
wouldn't the police have noticed?
I talked to the people
in your campaign office.
They've been so busy
that you had to rent
adjacent rooms for meetings.
Yes. So?
Is that a problem?
It seems like a waste of money
since you have the party flat.
There's a logical explanation
for that.
I believe my office sent an email
to your editorial office about it.
The toilet?
I contacted the company
where you ordered a new one.
Good. Excellent.
See you around.
It turns out
that you cancelled the order.
When it was to be delivered
on 1 st November
someone called and said
it wasn't needed after all.
So I thought someone must have been
in the flat that day
and didn't want a new toilet
installed in a blood-spattered flat.
If you write that nonsense,
you'll feel the wrath of our lawyers.
Understand?
Fine.
I'll find the answers myself.
I brought you something to eat.
May I sit down?
They played with magic markers
last night.
They drew a picture of the doctor
to cheer up their sister.
She has an ear infection.
How old is Marie?
Neel is the youngest.
Marie is the middle child.
- And Ella is the eldest?
- She's ten.
What happened out there?
He waited in the car while I went in.
And then...
...he saw a suspect
in the building and...
Monitor his blood pressure carefully.
The operation was successful,
but he's lost a lot of blood.
Take a look at this.
The first bullet
went right through him.
The second was heading for his heart
but hit his cigarette lighter
and changed direction
and penetrated his left lung.
Will he survive?
Yes, he'll make it.
Thank you.
This is for you. Tell him
he should stop smoking anyway.
You can see him now.
- Has he said anything?
- He hasn't woken up yet.
- When can I talk to him?
- When he wakes up.
Come and see him tonight.
Luckily, Jan Meyer's condition
is stable.
The doctors think he'll recover.
We're checking the warehouse.
We're not lacking in motivation
so get word to me
if you find anything at all.
The perpetrator knew
about Mette's things.
He read about us dragging the canals.
We're looking into it. I've put
a new team leader on the case.
Go home, Lund. You're incapable
of leading an investigation now.
Any news about the car?
Meyer was shot with your weapon.
The perpetrator shot to kill.
We have to arrest him.
Not till we've heard
from the German police.
Frevert's car was found.
He probably sailed to Germany
last night.
He didn't go to Germany.
He doesn't have his passport or money.
- But that's what he's done.
- The shooter wasn't stupid.
That was before he made the papers.
Let me check it out.
Two hours.
Then I'll do whatever you say.
Brix!
Leon Frevert was seen
at Hoje Taastrup station two hours ago.
He ran off when he was recognised.
- Can anyone confirm that?
- The surveillance cameras.
- Are patrol cars in the area?
- I'll check.
He's on foot.
He'll need a vehicle.
Contact the banks.
He doesn't have any money.
Keep me posted.
A ball valve needs to be installed
under the sink.
I'll see to it.
- The key is in the ignition.
- Right.
Here are the keys to the garage,
the gate and to the flat.
This is for the boys.
Do whatever you want with it.
Vagn!
Come upstairs so we can
iron this out once and for all.
Thanks.
Vagn, it's because Leon told us
some things about you.
And they sounded strange.
I'm sorry we didn't talk to you
about it first.
But I still think they sound strange.
Leon said you cancelled
a big customer that Saturday.
The customer wanted to pay off
the books. You said we don't do that.
So I said he could do it himself.
But I guess I shouldn't have.
You also lied about your mother.
My uncle always told me
she drank herself to death.
I didn't hear the truth
till last year.
I don't think it's anyone's business.
Of course it isn't.
They've had us jumping through hoops.
And this time
you bore the brunt of it.
We're very sorry, Vagn.
Yes.
- Did you tell the boys?
- No.
In a way, I'm the one
who should apologise.
I'm the one who got you to hire him.
Did they say where he is?
No.
We'll finish the house,
so we can get out of this flat.
Yes. We're going over there today
with the boys.
Anton doesn't like the idea of moving.
So we want to make it
as easy as possible.
Don't we have to be at a customer's
in 15 minutes?
Yeah.
It's our lawyer.
The police want to see
if Leon has been in the house.
He hasn't. We've had people there
since yesterday.
Don't let the cops in. See you.
No one cancelled
the order for a toilet.
- We have to be absolutely sure.
- Of course.
It's probably just an excuse
for not delivering.
But it's still a good story.
I want you to contact Lund.
The legal department will sue
for libel if Salin prints it, right?
- You talked to them, didn't you?
- It's ringing.
- Lund here.
- Troels Hartmann.
Sorry to bother you. I was sorry
to hear about your colleague.
Thanks. What do you want?
Did you find out where
the surveillance tape was sent from?
It was in a standard envelope.
Could it have been from my office?
- Was it?
- No.
A journalist made that claim.
He says someone
from my office was in the flat.
I wouldn't know. Frevert's ex-wife
is waiting to be questioned.
Do you know more about it?
There's no indication
of anyone being there after the perp.
I have to go. Lund here.
Thank you.
- Salin is bluffing.
- I thought so.
I'd like to see you in my office
in an hour.
Thanks. Bye.
You have three minutes.
- We'll be ready in three minutes.
- That's great.
- Nice to see you.
- I'm behind you all the way.
I really appreciate that.
Hi. Welcome.
You'll be asked about the Nanna case.
No problem.
- What a day. No wonder you're beat.
- I feel just fine.
Hopefully you can collect yourself
before the group leader debate.
We'll get high ratings.
You should concentrate on the vermin
you paid to keep me company.
- We're preparing to file suit.
- Really? Another one.
Do you think I need to pay people
to dig up dirt on you?
The rumours you fed Salin
are unfounded.
Salin? I thought
I was your biggest problem.
We're ready.
Please have a seat.
Half an hour ago he tried to use
an ATM on Toftegaards Plads.
- We were there two minutes later.
- Keep an eye on the parks.
- Hello?
- Sarah Lund?
- Speaking.
- This is Leon Frevert.
- Where are you?
- I just heard it on the radio.
I didn't do it.
I didn't do it.
Do you understand?
- I didn't shoot anyone.
- We just want to talk to you.
I tried to help you.
I told you I let her off at the flat.
I told you about the station.
Why didn't you say you knew her?
- You have no idea.
- So tell me.
Tell me where you are. I'll come
and get you, and then we can talk.
Leon?
Hello?
He turned off his mobile,
but he's on Roskildevej.
- Why did he talk for so long?
- He doesn't know we traced it.
Why did he turn off the phone?
You think he's doing it again.
Get his brother back. Get him.
OK.
For Christ's sake, Theis.
We're 20 minutes late.
We have to find that shop.
We have a whole zoo here.
We don't have time to paint.
We have to get Anton's room done.
- Theis here.
- Hi. It's me.
- Where is that dinosaur shop?
- We can't take the boys to the house.
What's wrong?
The police are searching the house.
- What?
- They think Leon is hiding there.
Did our lawyer tell them
he hasn't been there?
Yes, but it didn't do any good.
We'll have to wait. Bye.
- No evidence upstairs.
- Check the basement.
Hello. Go outside, please.
- Your wife gave us the key...
- I want you to leave now.
- We have to search it.
- Get out.
We have a warrant.
I don't give a fuck
about your warrant.
- I'll have to ask you to leave.
- He's not here.
Fine. We'll be back later.
We have to be at the studio
in 40 minutes.
I'm going to the cafeteria.
- Fine.
- Hi. Give him this.
- Here.
- Great. Thanks.
Something wrong?
Yes. I went
to the plumbing company.
They still claim someone here
contacted them on the Saturday.
Well, they aren't the most
reliable people, are they?
No, that's true.
I also checked
if someone from our office
had a package sent to Lund.
Why?
The receipts show...
...that Rie was the only one
who sent something on that night.
I must admit
I started feeling paranoid.
The police say Salin's claims
are unfounded.
Just this once, let's trust them
to know what they're doing.
Sure. I also have good news.
- What's that?
- Bremer fired Phillip Dessau.
Get going.
You look great.
- Troels here.
- Erik Salin. You asked me to call?
I did. Yes.
My lawyer is prepared
to sue you for libel
if you're dumb enough
to print your allegation.
You have some nerve.
And so do you if you make
allegations about me
my office or Rie Skovgaard.
I'm actually trying to help you.
Are you really?
How kind of you.
Thanks, but no thanks.
I assume this is
the last time the two of us...
Hello? Hartmann? Hello?
You rented a car on the internet,
and it was picked up at a gas station.
It was for my company.
This isn't a joke.
Where is your brother?
I told you I don't know.
You withdrew 32,000 kroner
from the bank.
For your company as well?
I don't have time for this.
Did you give him the money?
No. I have it here.
Where are you meeting him?
My brother is odd,
but he didn't kill that girl.
Where are you meeting him?
My colleague was shot last night.
If you want to help your brother,
help me find him before the others do.
It's for his own good.
- He's mixed up in something.
- What?
He was nervous.
As if he were afraid.
- Of the police?
- No.
He was interested in the case.
He said you weren't doing a good job.
What time are you meeting him?
- At 9pm.
- Where?
- What if he resists?
- Where is he?
Try picturing it with new paint
and all our furniture here.
Look. That's the living room.

Anton, where are you going?

Awaiting further instructions.
There's a rental car
behind the container.

- Good.
Don't harm him.
I hope you can control your men.
- I'm serious. I have to talk to him.
- I'll do my best.
I'll go in alone.
Be ready to apprehend him if he runs.
Hey! Hey!
- Turn your lights off.
- Good evening.
We're from the prosecutor's office.
Turn your headlights off now.
- We're here to talk to Sarah Lund.
- That's me.
An inquiry has been launched.
We're apprehending a suspect,
so get in your car and leave.
You have to come with us.
I've handed in my report.
- You can talk to Meyer.
- That will be difficult.
Jan Meyer is dead.
He's in the recovery room.
I talked to the hospital.
- Assign the command to someone.
- Call Brix and have it confirmed.
Talk to him yourself.
- Hello?
- This is Brix.
Meyer died 45 minutes ago.
He was recovering.
I don't know what happened.
Assign the command to someone else
and go
with the prosecutor's assistant.
Hello?
Yes, we'll bring him in now.
We...
