The Killing (2007–2012): Season 1, Episode 3 - Episode #1.3 - full transcript
Tuesday, November 4-Wednesday, November 5. Lund and Meyer track down the driver, who ends up injured in the hospital, but also supplies an alibi. They refocus their investigation on Nanna's school. When the story of the connection to his campaign breaks, Hartmann finds himself in media turmoil. The Birk Larsens try to cope with their loss as they arrange the funeral.
- I can't take the case.
- But you found her.
We been through this.
Our things have been moved.
Mark starts school on Monday.
She was alive when the car hit the water,
which filled it in 20 minutes.
Then she drowned.
First she was raped vaginally and anally.
- How much do you know?
- It's too early to say.
- But you'll find him.
- We'll do everything we can.
Now we mostly have
to think of the boys.
We have to be strong.
- We also have to tell them.
- Look what I made, Mum!
She was found in a rental car.
Who drove it last?
We don't want
to be accused of covering up.
- It would hinder the investigation.
- There's an election. We can't wait.
The driver's name is John Lynge.
And we're going to find him.
In '96 he was caught
flashing in a playground.
- Then he raped a 14-year-old girl.
- We'll find him soon.
- Today?
- I hope so.
- Yes. Thank you.
- What's up?
It was a reporter.
They know about the car.
The press will accuse us of covering
for a murderer. Goodbye alliance.
He had three prison visitors.
One is dead, one moved,
and the third doesn't answer her phone.
Sarah Lund, CID.
Do you have guests?
It's just my cat.
DCI Lund requesting backup.
The suspect is at the location.
- We're going in. Get your gun.
- I don't use one.
- We're staying here.
- The fuck we are!
Meyer!
THE KILLING
- What are you doing?
- What does it look like?
- I said wait.
- Christ, chill.
Let's go.
You go left, I'll go right.
Your weight is 57.2 kilos.
57.2 kilos.
TUESDAY 4 NOVEMBER
6:24 P.M.
Mrs. Heiberg!
- Mrs. Heiberg, where is he?
- What did she say?
Stay here and rest, ma'am.
- Don't leave me.
- I'll be right back.
- Don't leave me.
- Sit back, ma'am. There you go.
I need my cane. My cane...
Where is it?
- In the hall.
- I'll get it. Stay here.
Back off!
Police! Move away!
Back off!
Easy now.
I won't hurt you. I'm alone.
- I haven't done anything.
- I'm not saying you did. All right?
- You don't believe me.
- I'm listening. Put down the knife.
- I don't want to go to prison again.
- We're just talking now.
I got sick at the school and went
to the hospital. Then the car was gone.
I must have dropped the keys
when I threw up.
The car keys!
I told you I was sick.
You got sick.
I hear you. You got sick.
Put the knife down,
and we'll talk. All right?
- I don't want to go to prison again.
- You won't.
- John. Drop the knife.
- No, I've got him...
Shit!
He fell five meters. Fractured skull.
Left-sided pneumothorax.
When can I speak to him?
I can't say until we've stopped
the internal bleeding.
- Will he make it?
- Prints, hair and blood are taken.
- Forensics have his boots.
- He says he went to the hospital.
He lost the keys at the school.
When he came back, the car was gone.
- It's a lie.
- We never found out.
- He would have cut your other arm.
- Check it out.
If he has an alibi, I want to know.
- Fine! I'll check it out.
- Yes.
- Shouldn't you have that seen to?
- Yes, I should.
- What about the old lady?
- She's staying with relatives.
Good. Get some sleep.
Contact me when you have
information about his condition.
- The voters have sussed it out.
- We need housing in Copenhagen.
That people can afford.
Unlike you, we have a plan.
That's just a gimmick.
- The voters trust me to keep my word.
- We'll see.
Our time is up.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you and good luck.
On to more news.
An EU summit was held in Brussels.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Oh, right. Thanks.
- Only one reporter was informed.
- That's plenty.
- What about the police?
- I haven't heard a word.
We'll go ahead without them.
Tell the reporter he'll get an exclusive.
Holding a crisis meeting?
- Mint?
- Why not?
If you don't mind my saying so,
you seemed a bit rusty tonight.
- Do you think so?
- Yes, I do.
- The election isn't for a while.
- Are you pacing yourself?
That's sensible. From what I've heard,
you'll need your energy.
We have a problem. Ritzau has it,
and it's on the Internet now.
Your answers must be
well-considered and authoritative.
It's no good losing your temper.
What can't I get hold of Lund?
Hartmann, what's your connection
to Nanna Birk Larsen?
A young woman was found dead
in a car that my office rented.
That's it.
The police have asked us
not to comment, but...
- When did you hear about it?
- No one in the party is involved.
You deny withholding information
for the sake of the election?
Yes, I totally deny it.
It has nothing to do with politics.
We're cooperating with the police
to solve this senseless murder.
A young woman is dead.
I'd like to offer
my condolences to her family.
How will the murder
affect your campaign?
Set up a press conference soon.
Half the city council has rung.
I promised you'd call Kirsten Eller.
Put only the important ones through.
And no reporters.
- Call the prime minister's office.
- They can wait.
- Did the girl's family get flowers?
- Yes. And coffee is on the way.
You went too far.
You mustn't let them get to you.
- That's the way I am.
- I spoke to the reporter.
He got the information
from an anonymous e-mail.
- Maybe he's protecting his source.
- The leak is either the police or us.
- Why should it come from us?
- No one else knows as much.
- Your diary, Bremer and the schools.
- It could have come from the police.
If I can access the log files on the server,
I can see who sent it.
- Read people's e-mails?
- I won't read them.
- We can't do that.
- Just to see who sent what.
- We just can't do that.
- We could clear our office.
Find some other way.
Okay?
Troels speaking.
Troels Hartmann is cooperating
with the police in solving the murder.
He denies any connection
to the girl or the murder.
The car belonged to that politician.
They're looking for a driver.
- They don't tell us anything.
- They will.
They know more.
Don't you want to know?
Stop it!
That won't bring Nanna back.
- How would she know a driver...?
- I don't know!
Listen, baby.
I think it's best that we go away
for a few days.
Maybe we can rent the house
from last weekend.
The police are in and out of here.
The boys see Nanna in the papers.
And on TV for that matter.
What about the funeral?
We'll talk to the minister
and arrange everything tomorrow.
All right?
- Do you know what time it is?
- Hello.
Please don't throw
your clothes everywhere.
No wonder
Mark is such a messy person.
Why do you think
I set a place for you?
- What happened?
- Nothing.
- You've been bleeding.
- A cat scratched me.
- Don't tell me a cat did that.
- It was a stray.
Why do you insist
on going to work?
Now you can have a proper life.
It's just till Friday. If it's a problem,
we can stay in a hotel.
Of course it isn't.
I'm sorry, Mum. I'm tired.
It's delicious.
Bengt asked if you're coming
to the housewarming on Saturday.
We already talked about it.
We're fixing up the spare room too.
He called today
and wondered where you were.
Damn! I hope you didn't tell him
that I'm working here till Friday.
Of course I did.
Do you want me to lie to him?
- I thought you'd quit.
- It's just till Friday. I'm sorry.
- Come here.
- To your mother's?
- It would be nice.
- I have workmen and boxes all over.
How's the sauna coming along?
I was recommended polar pine.
- It's fine. I have to go now.
- I miss you.
I miss you too.
- Say it like you mean it.
- You know I mean it.
I can't get this wood glue
off my hands.
Okay.
- We'll talk tomorrow.
- Okay. Goodnight.
You too...
- When did you hear about it?
- No one in the party is involved.
You haven't withheld information?
- I love you.
- Wow! That just makes my day.
- What do you want, Meyer?
- Lynge was in the hospital Friday.
- How long?
- No idea. A medication problem.
- He was there all afternoon.
- Could he have sneaked out?
- Only if he can fly.
- Lay off the chips.
- Sorry. I haven't eaten.
- Did you find her bike?
- No.
- Her cell phone?
The technicians got it to work.
Her last call was on Friday.
- It was probably made from school.
- We'll go there in the morning.
Don't count on coming.
I ran into Buchard.
Hartmann wants a meeting.
- Get some sleep. Write your report.
- Yes. Sleep tight, Mum.
We're cooperating with the police
and assisting in inquires
into this senseless murder.
A young woman is dead.
I offer my condolences
to her family.
We could've avoided that situation
if we hadn't complied with your wishes.
I swear we didn't leak the plate number.
Only the squad knew it.
- Has the driver confessed?
- No, he won't. He didn't do it.
- Yesterday you said...
- Yes, he was a suspect.
But he's not our man.
Someone used his car.
It was possibly stolen.
- When are you going public?
- We'd like to wait.
For what?
The driver was injured.
We'll talk to him today.
If our car was stolen,
the press must be told.
It's an advantage if the perp thinks
we suspect someone else.
So you're glad the news got out?
The man's alibi was just confirmed.
If you don't make a statement, we will.
- We'd appreciate your waiting.
- It can't be helped.
- I'll keep you posted.
- I appreciate it.
Hartmann.
- If you'll just listen...
- The press thinks I'm a suspect.
- On TV you said you'd cooperate.
- We have.
- I'm begging you.
- We have to go.
Lund! You have visitors.
Just a minute.
- We'd like to talk to you.
- Come in.
We're late. We have to go.
Was that...?
- It makes a difference if I wait?
- Yes. It does.
Okay.
You've got till tomorrow.
We have the medical examiner's report,
but he's not quite finished.
You see, we're going
to the seaside this afternoon.
We want to be sure
everything is set for the funeral.
- Of course.
- What are they doing to her?
They're doing further tests.
I don't know exactly.
You'll be contacted
when she can be released.
- Where will she go?
- Normally to an undertaker.
- Have you made arrangements?
- We've spoken to a minister.
- What exactly happened to her?
- I have to wait for the full report.
But I understand
that you want to know.
No.
- I'll give you my cell phone number.
- Excuse me.
Call if you have any questions.
Shut that door!
I'm terribly sorry about that.
I apologise.
I think we should go now.
If there's anything I can do, call me.
No matter what time it is.
- We still have unanswered questions.
- There's a memorial service.
- I'm giving a speech.
- The girl was last seen at the party.
- I need more information.
- I need to get back to normal.
It's not about what you need.
I need answers now.
You can't possibly think
the school is involved.
If you let me do my job,
I can answer that.
Lynge arrived at noon and was told
to leave the material in the cellar.
- But he went to the gym.
- Why?
No idea.
Maybe he was lazy or felt sick.
- Maybe he lost the keys there.
- Or somewhere else.
- Who had gym class afterwards?
- No one. No keys were found.
What do we have on the girl?
Top pupil. Good grades. Popular.
No negative comments at all.
- The boys wanted to sleep with her.
- Did she let them?
Only Oliver Schandorff,
whom she broke up with 6 months ago.
- What about drugs?
- Nothing. And she rarely drank.
Here's a picture.
Witnesses say she danced all night,
but no one saw her after 9:30 p.m.
She left very early considering
all the trouble she went to.
There might be a good reason here.
Lisa, you never said
she fought with her ex.
- With Oliver on the dance floor.
- It wasn't important.
Several others noticed it.
Oliver came over while we were dancing.
But it wasn't a big deal.
He threw a chair.
- Was Nanna drunk?
- No.
But you were.
A bit.
Is anything wrong with that?
Why did they break up?
I guess it's because
she thought he was immature.
- But you thought she was with him.
- I hoped so. I couldn't find her.
What did they argue about?
- He wanted to talk, and she didn't.
- And then she left?
Did you see where Oliver was
when she left?
Bartending. It was his turn.
- You're sure about that?
- I saw him.
This is the bartending schedule.
He isn't on it.
The others can't remember
when he tended bar.
Let me get this straight.
She hugged you and said goodbye.
Then she walked this way,
down the stairs and out the door.
What was she wearing?
A witch's hat with a buckle
and a purple wig.
And a sleeveless dress
that was pretty tattered.
Wasn't it strange
that she left with so little on?
Yes, but she probably had a jacket.
You said her arms were bare.
- I can't remember.
- Where was her change of clothes?
We left them in our classroom.
Then why didn't she go upstairs?
- Did she go downstairs or what?
- She must have gone upstairs.
You don't know when she left
or whether Oliver followed her.
We know you're lying to us.
Did he find the car keys?
Did he bang her in the car
to prove his manhood?
It's very important
to tell us what you know.
I don't know anything.
I've told you what I know.
Come on. Now.
All right?
Hello.
- Where was it?
- We found it in the trash.
- What about her bike?
- We haven't found it yet.
Do you have a pen? Thanks.
Seal off the area
and get the technicians down here.
Make the call now.
Yes. Yes. Okay.
Get back to me when you know.
Bye.
- Have you seen the new polls?
- Yes.
It's Egyptian foot cream.
Excellent stuff.
The reception is in 20 minutes.
Hand out pamphlets.
I spoke with the Centre Party.
The alliance is all set.
- Has Bremer issued a statement?
- No need.
The news is doing a feature
on politicians in trouble.
Out with it.
You think I'm handling it all wrong.
- No, the voters do.
- Hello? Morten Weber.
- Say the car was stolen.
- We're assisting the police.
- They have their own agenda.
- I'm not that kind of politician.
- Soon you won't be one at all.
- Don't we want a clear conscience?
That was Eller's office.
- She's on her way over to talk.
- Haven't you already talked to her?
I thought so.
- Coffee? Tea?
- No thanks, Morten.
I've underestimated
the situation in the group.
- In what way?
- This mess gave rise to discussions.
Bremer's backers smell blood.
- The car was stolen. He's innocent.
- Why hasn't it been announced?
- We promised the police to wait.
- It won't make much difference.
We agreed.
Bremer doesn't share your goals.
He has proposed to build
10,000 low-rent apartments.
- It will never amount to anything.
- I'm sorry, Troels.
There won't be an alliance.
Bremer wants you to hesitate
till the deadline is passed.
It's the group's decision,
and there's nothing I can do now.
What?
You could make an even better offer.
That's true. Why not wait
and see if it's necessary?
Yes.
You're absolutely ruthless.
- Hang on. It's a bad time.
- I want an explanation. Right now.
- Just a minute.
- First you steal our proposal.
You double it and propose
an unrealistic number of apartments.
Then you exploit the death
of a young woman
when we're trying
to assist the police and her parents.
This has nothing to do with politics.
I can't time my proposals
according to whatever mess you're in.
You have nothing to do with the car.
You chose not to be open about it.
And an alliance with the Centre Party!
What were you thinking?
I haven't lost my touch completely.
It's no good.
I'm going to be on the news.
There are the usual hymns
but it's all up to you.
It's important to choose the ones
that you find appropriate.
I can lend you a hymnal.
You can have a look.
I'd like
'A spotless rose is growing'.
That's no. 117.
It's a lovely hymn.
I want it to be beautiful in here.
Plenty of flowers.
- That's up to you.
- She loves flowers.
Blue irises and rushes.
- Anything else?
- No.
Just the eulogy, but I suggest
you write some things down for me.
- In the comfort of your home.
- Yes.
- You mustn't mention the crime.
- Only Nanna as you remember her.
Blessed are they that hunger after
righteousness for they shall be filled.
- She was always happy.
- That's a good thing to include.
- Thanks for your time.
- Thank you.
If you need to talk,
you're always welcome.
Remember that all is well with her.
She is with God.
What good does that do me?
- Baby...
- No. What good does that do me?
Sometimes life is
meaningless and merciless.
It's a merciless thing
to lose one's daughter.
Faith helps give one hope.
And life isn't without meaning...
What a crock of shit!
What good does that do?
I don't give a shit if she's with God.
You got that?
She's supposed to be with... me.
Oliver Schandorff?
- You left early yesterday.
- I wasn't well.
- I was upset.
- You weren't in school Monday.
- I had an off-day.
- You've had many. 17% absence.
I know you think I'm involved,
because we argued.
But I'm not.
I would never do her any harm.
- Why did she break up with you?
- We drifted apart.
You do drugs, don't you?
Is that why she broke it off?
You were arrested for taking speed
at a concert. And two months later.
I got high a lot last year,
but that's over now.
- How did Nanna feel about it?
- At first she thought it was cool.
- But she got tired of it.
- Tell us about the argument.
- I was drunk and stupid.
- What did you do?
I tried to make a pass at her.
She looked so pretty.
But at the same time I could tell
that she was done with me.
- And happy.
- So you threw a chair?
- Yes. Unfortunately.
- Where were you after 9:30 p.m.?
- Bartending.
- You're not on the schedule.
We came and went. Since I helped
organise the party, I was swamped.
Who could have
seen you tending bar?
- Plenty of people.
- Name one. Lisa?
- She saw me.
- No.
- She wasn't sure after all.
- I was collecting glasses...
Listen, buddy.
No one saw you after 9:30.
What did you do?
Did you follow her?
- Were you waiting in the bike cellar?
- No.
You were jealous, weren't you?
But you sensed
she was seeing someone else.
- I said...
- Where did you find the car keys?
Stop it.
You knew that car was there.
She didn't want you.
You raped her.
I loved her!
Yes, but she didn't love you.
You're just a loser.
You raped her. You tied her up,
put her in the trunk and took off
so no one could hear her scream.
That's what you did.
Oliver, if you have something to tell us,
tell us now.
Can I have a word with you two?
- What are you doing?
- Questioning your son.
He's devastated.
- Perhaps that's enough for now.
- We think he's hiding something.
- Have you charged him?
- No.
Fine.
No more questioning.
Thanks, Dad. I'm sorry
if it interrupted an important meeting.
Have you done anything?
- No.
- I damn well hope not.
Get your things. We're leaving.
I know what you think.
I was too hard on him.
What could I do?
It's not my fault that idiot turned up.
I didn't say it was.
It was fine, Meyer.
Okay.
I say we bring him in.
- We don't have a charge.
- I could tell he lied about the keys.
- Was nothing found in the cellar?
- Nope. It's like a public toilet.
Contact forensics. If he drove the car,
there'll be traces.
Get the drive to the woods timed.
What about you? Off on holiday?
Now for the two of you.
Is this really necessary?
I need them
for the sake of comparison.
- Are two pairs of pants each enough?
- Yes, that's fine. Thanks.
You should be off
to get some peace and quiet.
Call me if you need any help.
Take care.
Yes. Go and wash your hands,
so we can get going.
I'll help Vagn empty the truck.
Come as soon as you're ready.
- Mum, can I bring my kite?
- Yes.
But no more. We need room
in the car for our bags.
So just take that one,
and then...
Then what?
Go down to Dad. I'm coming.
- I won't be long.
- What happened out in the woods?
I'm not the one
you should talk to. Sorry.
I'm afraid
I have to ask you to leave.
I need...
I need to know what happened.
What happened to my daughter?
I'm not allowed to...
I saw the photos.
It can't possibly be worse
than what I have imagined.
I'm begging you!
I've got it. Careful, boys.
So... any news?
- Vagn, can we have some money?
- Do I look like a piggy bank?
Whoops. Here.
Buy a chocolate egg.
And one for you. Right?
Emil, no beer.
Get a Kinder egg, right?
So... it was the driver, wasn't it?
They're sure it's him, right?
I don't know anything, Vagn.
He's going down.
Just say the word
if you want anything done.
- What are you talking about?
- When he gets a piddling sentence.
- I just want to help.
- Would that be any help?
To send some bruisers
to smash his knee caps?
Yeah.
She's dead, Vagn.
Don't you get it?
Where the hell is she?
Pernille!
- We're not going.
- Why? I just told...
She wasn't dead
when the car hit the water.
She wasn't dead, Theis.
She was alone in the trunk.
She was alone and waiting.
We have to stay.
I want them to find him.
I want...
They have to find him now, Theis.
- Make a better offer than Bremer.
- We can't.
- Bremer flung out a random number.
- A word, Troels?
The Centre Party has other platforms.
She's willing if she doesn't lose face.
Find something we can live with.
But nothing too major.
We need to think quickly.
I hope Bremer doesn't get wind of this.
- You'd think the walls had ears.
- That's the problem.
I have a copy of
the log files from the server.
- What?
- You couldn't decide, so I did.
- I said not to.
- I know who sent the e-mail.
- You went behind my back!
- Troels, it was Morten.
It was sent from his mail account.
He's the one.
I think I have a solution.
- Okay.
- I figured out a compromise.
Let's see it.
His lung is perforated.
Blood pressure is 70/40. I can't allow it.
- Just five minutes.
- He's doped up on morphine.
I wouldn't be here
if it wasn't important.
- He's in room 4.
- Thank you.
John.
I'm sorry this happened to you.
Do you understand?
I know you didn't harm the girl.
I really need your help.
Tell me what happened at the school.
Who you met
and where you lost your keys.
You parked and brought the posters inside.
You went to the gym.
Is that when you felt sick?
What? John.
- The cellar...
- Did you go to the cellar first?
- To deliver the posters.
- That's where you lost the keys?
He got angry.
I wasn't allowed in there.
Who got angry?
Who said you couldn't be there?
John... was it in the bike cellar?
No.
- Were there bikes there, John?
- Not the bike cellar.
The one next to it.
The boiler room.
Who did you meet
in the boiler room?
Was it this guy? Oliver Schandorff?
Did you meet him?
- Are you sure?
- It wasn't him.
Are you absolutely sure?
Take a good look.
- I must ask you to leave now.
- One minute. I'm almost done.
- Do you hear?
- Almost done.
Did you meet him in the boiler room?
- We're done. Have a nice evening.
- You too.
- Meyer.
- Are you at the school?
- Yes, we're done. I'm starving.
- Check out the cellar again.
- Why? The technicians are leaving.
- Have them wait.
- Is there a boiler room?
- Heck if I know.
- Are you down there?
- Take it easy.
Find the door
to the boiler room.
- I've found it.
- I need to know what's in there.
All right, all right. You there!
Open that door for me.
- I'm in a hurry.
- Is it open?
- What's in it?
- I can see the boiler.
Just a bunch of old junk.
Tables, chairs and books.
There's nothing here, Lund.
- Are you sure?
- Hang on.
There's a door here,
but there isn't a handle.
Hang on. There's another door.
Just a second.
What do you see? Meyer.
Get down here.
Right now.
- But you found her.
We been through this.
Our things have been moved.
Mark starts school on Monday.
She was alive when the car hit the water,
which filled it in 20 minutes.
Then she drowned.
First she was raped vaginally and anally.
- How much do you know?
- It's too early to say.
- But you'll find him.
- We'll do everything we can.
Now we mostly have
to think of the boys.
We have to be strong.
- We also have to tell them.
- Look what I made, Mum!
She was found in a rental car.
Who drove it last?
We don't want
to be accused of covering up.
- It would hinder the investigation.
- There's an election. We can't wait.
The driver's name is John Lynge.
And we're going to find him.
In '96 he was caught
flashing in a playground.
- Then he raped a 14-year-old girl.
- We'll find him soon.
- Today?
- I hope so.
- Yes. Thank you.
- What's up?
It was a reporter.
They know about the car.
The press will accuse us of covering
for a murderer. Goodbye alliance.
He had three prison visitors.
One is dead, one moved,
and the third doesn't answer her phone.
Sarah Lund, CID.
Do you have guests?
It's just my cat.
DCI Lund requesting backup.
The suspect is at the location.
- We're going in. Get your gun.
- I don't use one.
- We're staying here.
- The fuck we are!
Meyer!
THE KILLING
- What are you doing?
- What does it look like?
- I said wait.
- Christ, chill.
Let's go.
You go left, I'll go right.
Your weight is 57.2 kilos.
57.2 kilos.
TUESDAY 4 NOVEMBER
6:24 P.M.
Mrs. Heiberg!
- Mrs. Heiberg, where is he?
- What did she say?
Stay here and rest, ma'am.
- Don't leave me.
- I'll be right back.
- Don't leave me.
- Sit back, ma'am. There you go.
I need my cane. My cane...
Where is it?
- In the hall.
- I'll get it. Stay here.
Back off!
Police! Move away!
Back off!
Easy now.
I won't hurt you. I'm alone.
- I haven't done anything.
- I'm not saying you did. All right?
- You don't believe me.
- I'm listening. Put down the knife.
- I don't want to go to prison again.
- We're just talking now.
I got sick at the school and went
to the hospital. Then the car was gone.
I must have dropped the keys
when I threw up.
The car keys!
I told you I was sick.
You got sick.
I hear you. You got sick.
Put the knife down,
and we'll talk. All right?
- I don't want to go to prison again.
- You won't.
- John. Drop the knife.
- No, I've got him...
Shit!
He fell five meters. Fractured skull.
Left-sided pneumothorax.
When can I speak to him?
I can't say until we've stopped
the internal bleeding.
- Will he make it?
- Prints, hair and blood are taken.
- Forensics have his boots.
- He says he went to the hospital.
He lost the keys at the school.
When he came back, the car was gone.
- It's a lie.
- We never found out.
- He would have cut your other arm.
- Check it out.
If he has an alibi, I want to know.
- Fine! I'll check it out.
- Yes.
- Shouldn't you have that seen to?
- Yes, I should.
- What about the old lady?
- She's staying with relatives.
Good. Get some sleep.
Contact me when you have
information about his condition.
- The voters have sussed it out.
- We need housing in Copenhagen.
That people can afford.
Unlike you, we have a plan.
That's just a gimmick.
- The voters trust me to keep my word.
- We'll see.
Our time is up.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you and good luck.
On to more news.
An EU summit was held in Brussels.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Oh, right. Thanks.
- Only one reporter was informed.
- That's plenty.
- What about the police?
- I haven't heard a word.
We'll go ahead without them.
Tell the reporter he'll get an exclusive.
Holding a crisis meeting?
- Mint?
- Why not?
If you don't mind my saying so,
you seemed a bit rusty tonight.
- Do you think so?
- Yes, I do.
- The election isn't for a while.
- Are you pacing yourself?
That's sensible. From what I've heard,
you'll need your energy.
We have a problem. Ritzau has it,
and it's on the Internet now.
Your answers must be
well-considered and authoritative.
It's no good losing your temper.
What can't I get hold of Lund?
Hartmann, what's your connection
to Nanna Birk Larsen?
A young woman was found dead
in a car that my office rented.
That's it.
The police have asked us
not to comment, but...
- When did you hear about it?
- No one in the party is involved.
You deny withholding information
for the sake of the election?
Yes, I totally deny it.
It has nothing to do with politics.
We're cooperating with the police
to solve this senseless murder.
A young woman is dead.
I'd like to offer
my condolences to her family.
How will the murder
affect your campaign?
Set up a press conference soon.
Half the city council has rung.
I promised you'd call Kirsten Eller.
Put only the important ones through.
And no reporters.
- Call the prime minister's office.
- They can wait.
- Did the girl's family get flowers?
- Yes. And coffee is on the way.
You went too far.
You mustn't let them get to you.
- That's the way I am.
- I spoke to the reporter.
He got the information
from an anonymous e-mail.
- Maybe he's protecting his source.
- The leak is either the police or us.
- Why should it come from us?
- No one else knows as much.
- Your diary, Bremer and the schools.
- It could have come from the police.
If I can access the log files on the server,
I can see who sent it.
- Read people's e-mails?
- I won't read them.
- We can't do that.
- Just to see who sent what.
- We just can't do that.
- We could clear our office.
Find some other way.
Okay?
Troels speaking.
Troels Hartmann is cooperating
with the police in solving the murder.
He denies any connection
to the girl or the murder.
The car belonged to that politician.
They're looking for a driver.
- They don't tell us anything.
- They will.
They know more.
Don't you want to know?
Stop it!
That won't bring Nanna back.
- How would she know a driver...?
- I don't know!
Listen, baby.
I think it's best that we go away
for a few days.
Maybe we can rent the house
from last weekend.
The police are in and out of here.
The boys see Nanna in the papers.
And on TV for that matter.
What about the funeral?
We'll talk to the minister
and arrange everything tomorrow.
All right?
- Do you know what time it is?
- Hello.
Please don't throw
your clothes everywhere.
No wonder
Mark is such a messy person.
Why do you think
I set a place for you?
- What happened?
- Nothing.
- You've been bleeding.
- A cat scratched me.
- Don't tell me a cat did that.
- It was a stray.
Why do you insist
on going to work?
Now you can have a proper life.
It's just till Friday. If it's a problem,
we can stay in a hotel.
Of course it isn't.
I'm sorry, Mum. I'm tired.
It's delicious.
Bengt asked if you're coming
to the housewarming on Saturday.
We already talked about it.
We're fixing up the spare room too.
He called today
and wondered where you were.
Damn! I hope you didn't tell him
that I'm working here till Friday.
Of course I did.
Do you want me to lie to him?
- I thought you'd quit.
- It's just till Friday. I'm sorry.
- Come here.
- To your mother's?
- It would be nice.
- I have workmen and boxes all over.
How's the sauna coming along?
I was recommended polar pine.
- It's fine. I have to go now.
- I miss you.
I miss you too.
- Say it like you mean it.
- You know I mean it.
I can't get this wood glue
off my hands.
Okay.
- We'll talk tomorrow.
- Okay. Goodnight.
You too...
- When did you hear about it?
- No one in the party is involved.
You haven't withheld information?
- I love you.
- Wow! That just makes my day.
- What do you want, Meyer?
- Lynge was in the hospital Friday.
- How long?
- No idea. A medication problem.
- He was there all afternoon.
- Could he have sneaked out?
- Only if he can fly.
- Lay off the chips.
- Sorry. I haven't eaten.
- Did you find her bike?
- No.
- Her cell phone?
The technicians got it to work.
Her last call was on Friday.
- It was probably made from school.
- We'll go there in the morning.
Don't count on coming.
I ran into Buchard.
Hartmann wants a meeting.
- Get some sleep. Write your report.
- Yes. Sleep tight, Mum.
We're cooperating with the police
and assisting in inquires
into this senseless murder.
A young woman is dead.
I offer my condolences
to her family.
We could've avoided that situation
if we hadn't complied with your wishes.
I swear we didn't leak the plate number.
Only the squad knew it.
- Has the driver confessed?
- No, he won't. He didn't do it.
- Yesterday you said...
- Yes, he was a suspect.
But he's not our man.
Someone used his car.
It was possibly stolen.
- When are you going public?
- We'd like to wait.
For what?
The driver was injured.
We'll talk to him today.
If our car was stolen,
the press must be told.
It's an advantage if the perp thinks
we suspect someone else.
So you're glad the news got out?
The man's alibi was just confirmed.
If you don't make a statement, we will.
- We'd appreciate your waiting.
- It can't be helped.
- I'll keep you posted.
- I appreciate it.
Hartmann.
- If you'll just listen...
- The press thinks I'm a suspect.
- On TV you said you'd cooperate.
- We have.
- I'm begging you.
- We have to go.
Lund! You have visitors.
Just a minute.
- We'd like to talk to you.
- Come in.
We're late. We have to go.
Was that...?
- It makes a difference if I wait?
- Yes. It does.
Okay.
You've got till tomorrow.
We have the medical examiner's report,
but he's not quite finished.
You see, we're going
to the seaside this afternoon.
We want to be sure
everything is set for the funeral.
- Of course.
- What are they doing to her?
They're doing further tests.
I don't know exactly.
You'll be contacted
when she can be released.
- Where will she go?
- Normally to an undertaker.
- Have you made arrangements?
- We've spoken to a minister.
- What exactly happened to her?
- I have to wait for the full report.
But I understand
that you want to know.
No.
- I'll give you my cell phone number.
- Excuse me.
Call if you have any questions.
Shut that door!
I'm terribly sorry about that.
I apologise.
I think we should go now.
If there's anything I can do, call me.
No matter what time it is.
- We still have unanswered questions.
- There's a memorial service.
- I'm giving a speech.
- The girl was last seen at the party.
- I need more information.
- I need to get back to normal.
It's not about what you need.
I need answers now.
You can't possibly think
the school is involved.
If you let me do my job,
I can answer that.
Lynge arrived at noon and was told
to leave the material in the cellar.
- But he went to the gym.
- Why?
No idea.
Maybe he was lazy or felt sick.
- Maybe he lost the keys there.
- Or somewhere else.
- Who had gym class afterwards?
- No one. No keys were found.
What do we have on the girl?
Top pupil. Good grades. Popular.
No negative comments at all.
- The boys wanted to sleep with her.
- Did she let them?
Only Oliver Schandorff,
whom she broke up with 6 months ago.
- What about drugs?
- Nothing. And she rarely drank.
Here's a picture.
Witnesses say she danced all night,
but no one saw her after 9:30 p.m.
She left very early considering
all the trouble she went to.
There might be a good reason here.
Lisa, you never said
she fought with her ex.
- With Oliver on the dance floor.
- It wasn't important.
Several others noticed it.
Oliver came over while we were dancing.
But it wasn't a big deal.
He threw a chair.
- Was Nanna drunk?
- No.
But you were.
A bit.
Is anything wrong with that?
Why did they break up?
I guess it's because
she thought he was immature.
- But you thought she was with him.
- I hoped so. I couldn't find her.
What did they argue about?
- He wanted to talk, and she didn't.
- And then she left?
Did you see where Oliver was
when she left?
Bartending. It was his turn.
- You're sure about that?
- I saw him.
This is the bartending schedule.
He isn't on it.
The others can't remember
when he tended bar.
Let me get this straight.
She hugged you and said goodbye.
Then she walked this way,
down the stairs and out the door.
What was she wearing?
A witch's hat with a buckle
and a purple wig.
And a sleeveless dress
that was pretty tattered.
Wasn't it strange
that she left with so little on?
Yes, but she probably had a jacket.
You said her arms were bare.
- I can't remember.
- Where was her change of clothes?
We left them in our classroom.
Then why didn't she go upstairs?
- Did she go downstairs or what?
- She must have gone upstairs.
You don't know when she left
or whether Oliver followed her.
We know you're lying to us.
Did he find the car keys?
Did he bang her in the car
to prove his manhood?
It's very important
to tell us what you know.
I don't know anything.
I've told you what I know.
Come on. Now.
All right?
Hello.
- Where was it?
- We found it in the trash.
- What about her bike?
- We haven't found it yet.
Do you have a pen? Thanks.
Seal off the area
and get the technicians down here.
Make the call now.
Yes. Yes. Okay.
Get back to me when you know.
Bye.
- Have you seen the new polls?
- Yes.
It's Egyptian foot cream.
Excellent stuff.
The reception is in 20 minutes.
Hand out pamphlets.
I spoke with the Centre Party.
The alliance is all set.
- Has Bremer issued a statement?
- No need.
The news is doing a feature
on politicians in trouble.
Out with it.
You think I'm handling it all wrong.
- No, the voters do.
- Hello? Morten Weber.
- Say the car was stolen.
- We're assisting the police.
- They have their own agenda.
- I'm not that kind of politician.
- Soon you won't be one at all.
- Don't we want a clear conscience?
That was Eller's office.
- She's on her way over to talk.
- Haven't you already talked to her?
I thought so.
- Coffee? Tea?
- No thanks, Morten.
I've underestimated
the situation in the group.
- In what way?
- This mess gave rise to discussions.
Bremer's backers smell blood.
- The car was stolen. He's innocent.
- Why hasn't it been announced?
- We promised the police to wait.
- It won't make much difference.
We agreed.
Bremer doesn't share your goals.
He has proposed to build
10,000 low-rent apartments.
- It will never amount to anything.
- I'm sorry, Troels.
There won't be an alliance.
Bremer wants you to hesitate
till the deadline is passed.
It's the group's decision,
and there's nothing I can do now.
What?
You could make an even better offer.
That's true. Why not wait
and see if it's necessary?
Yes.
You're absolutely ruthless.
- Hang on. It's a bad time.
- I want an explanation. Right now.
- Just a minute.
- First you steal our proposal.
You double it and propose
an unrealistic number of apartments.
Then you exploit the death
of a young woman
when we're trying
to assist the police and her parents.
This has nothing to do with politics.
I can't time my proposals
according to whatever mess you're in.
You have nothing to do with the car.
You chose not to be open about it.
And an alliance with the Centre Party!
What were you thinking?
I haven't lost my touch completely.
It's no good.
I'm going to be on the news.
There are the usual hymns
but it's all up to you.
It's important to choose the ones
that you find appropriate.
I can lend you a hymnal.
You can have a look.
I'd like
'A spotless rose is growing'.
That's no. 117.
It's a lovely hymn.
I want it to be beautiful in here.
Plenty of flowers.
- That's up to you.
- She loves flowers.
Blue irises and rushes.
- Anything else?
- No.
Just the eulogy, but I suggest
you write some things down for me.
- In the comfort of your home.
- Yes.
- You mustn't mention the crime.
- Only Nanna as you remember her.
Blessed are they that hunger after
righteousness for they shall be filled.
- She was always happy.
- That's a good thing to include.
- Thanks for your time.
- Thank you.
If you need to talk,
you're always welcome.
Remember that all is well with her.
She is with God.
What good does that do me?
- Baby...
- No. What good does that do me?
Sometimes life is
meaningless and merciless.
It's a merciless thing
to lose one's daughter.
Faith helps give one hope.
And life isn't without meaning...
What a crock of shit!
What good does that do?
I don't give a shit if she's with God.
You got that?
She's supposed to be with... me.
Oliver Schandorff?
- You left early yesterday.
- I wasn't well.
- I was upset.
- You weren't in school Monday.
- I had an off-day.
- You've had many. 17% absence.
I know you think I'm involved,
because we argued.
But I'm not.
I would never do her any harm.
- Why did she break up with you?
- We drifted apart.
You do drugs, don't you?
Is that why she broke it off?
You were arrested for taking speed
at a concert. And two months later.
I got high a lot last year,
but that's over now.
- How did Nanna feel about it?
- At first she thought it was cool.
- But she got tired of it.
- Tell us about the argument.
- I was drunk and stupid.
- What did you do?
I tried to make a pass at her.
She looked so pretty.
But at the same time I could tell
that she was done with me.
- And happy.
- So you threw a chair?
- Yes. Unfortunately.
- Where were you after 9:30 p.m.?
- Bartending.
- You're not on the schedule.
We came and went. Since I helped
organise the party, I was swamped.
Who could have
seen you tending bar?
- Plenty of people.
- Name one. Lisa?
- She saw me.
- No.
- She wasn't sure after all.
- I was collecting glasses...
Listen, buddy.
No one saw you after 9:30.
What did you do?
Did you follow her?
- Were you waiting in the bike cellar?
- No.
You were jealous, weren't you?
But you sensed
she was seeing someone else.
- I said...
- Where did you find the car keys?
Stop it.
You knew that car was there.
She didn't want you.
You raped her.
I loved her!
Yes, but she didn't love you.
You're just a loser.
You raped her. You tied her up,
put her in the trunk and took off
so no one could hear her scream.
That's what you did.
Oliver, if you have something to tell us,
tell us now.
Can I have a word with you two?
- What are you doing?
- Questioning your son.
He's devastated.
- Perhaps that's enough for now.
- We think he's hiding something.
- Have you charged him?
- No.
Fine.
No more questioning.
Thanks, Dad. I'm sorry
if it interrupted an important meeting.
Have you done anything?
- No.
- I damn well hope not.
Get your things. We're leaving.
I know what you think.
I was too hard on him.
What could I do?
It's not my fault that idiot turned up.
I didn't say it was.
It was fine, Meyer.
Okay.
I say we bring him in.
- We don't have a charge.
- I could tell he lied about the keys.
- Was nothing found in the cellar?
- Nope. It's like a public toilet.
Contact forensics. If he drove the car,
there'll be traces.
Get the drive to the woods timed.
What about you? Off on holiday?
Now for the two of you.
Is this really necessary?
I need them
for the sake of comparison.
- Are two pairs of pants each enough?
- Yes, that's fine. Thanks.
You should be off
to get some peace and quiet.
Call me if you need any help.
Take care.
Yes. Go and wash your hands,
so we can get going.
I'll help Vagn empty the truck.
Come as soon as you're ready.
- Mum, can I bring my kite?
- Yes.
But no more. We need room
in the car for our bags.
So just take that one,
and then...
Then what?
Go down to Dad. I'm coming.
- I won't be long.
- What happened out in the woods?
I'm not the one
you should talk to. Sorry.
I'm afraid
I have to ask you to leave.
I need...
I need to know what happened.
What happened to my daughter?
I'm not allowed to...
I saw the photos.
It can't possibly be worse
than what I have imagined.
I'm begging you!
I've got it. Careful, boys.
So... any news?
- Vagn, can we have some money?
- Do I look like a piggy bank?
Whoops. Here.
Buy a chocolate egg.
And one for you. Right?
Emil, no beer.
Get a Kinder egg, right?
So... it was the driver, wasn't it?
They're sure it's him, right?
I don't know anything, Vagn.
He's going down.
Just say the word
if you want anything done.
- What are you talking about?
- When he gets a piddling sentence.
- I just want to help.
- Would that be any help?
To send some bruisers
to smash his knee caps?
Yeah.
She's dead, Vagn.
Don't you get it?
Where the hell is she?
Pernille!
- We're not going.
- Why? I just told...
She wasn't dead
when the car hit the water.
She wasn't dead, Theis.
She was alone in the trunk.
She was alone and waiting.
We have to stay.
I want them to find him.
I want...
They have to find him now, Theis.
- Make a better offer than Bremer.
- We can't.
- Bremer flung out a random number.
- A word, Troels?
The Centre Party has other platforms.
She's willing if she doesn't lose face.
Find something we can live with.
But nothing too major.
We need to think quickly.
I hope Bremer doesn't get wind of this.
- You'd think the walls had ears.
- That's the problem.
I have a copy of
the log files from the server.
- What?
- You couldn't decide, so I did.
- I said not to.
- I know who sent the e-mail.
- You went behind my back!
- Troels, it was Morten.
It was sent from his mail account.
He's the one.
I think I have a solution.
- Okay.
- I figured out a compromise.
Let's see it.
His lung is perforated.
Blood pressure is 70/40. I can't allow it.
- Just five minutes.
- He's doped up on morphine.
I wouldn't be here
if it wasn't important.
- He's in room 4.
- Thank you.
John.
I'm sorry this happened to you.
Do you understand?
I know you didn't harm the girl.
I really need your help.
Tell me what happened at the school.
Who you met
and where you lost your keys.
You parked and brought the posters inside.
You went to the gym.
Is that when you felt sick?
What? John.
- The cellar...
- Did you go to the cellar first?
- To deliver the posters.
- That's where you lost the keys?
He got angry.
I wasn't allowed in there.
Who got angry?
Who said you couldn't be there?
John... was it in the bike cellar?
No.
- Were there bikes there, John?
- Not the bike cellar.
The one next to it.
The boiler room.
Who did you meet
in the boiler room?
Was it this guy? Oliver Schandorff?
Did you meet him?
- Are you sure?
- It wasn't him.
Are you absolutely sure?
Take a good look.
- I must ask you to leave now.
- One minute. I'm almost done.
- Do you hear?
- Almost done.
Did you meet him in the boiler room?
- We're done. Have a nice evening.
- You too.
- Meyer.
- Are you at the school?
- Yes, we're done. I'm starving.
- Check out the cellar again.
- Why? The technicians are leaving.
- Have them wait.
- Is there a boiler room?
- Heck if I know.
- Are you down there?
- Take it easy.
Find the door
to the boiler room.
- I've found it.
- I need to know what's in there.
All right, all right. You there!
Open that door for me.
- I'm in a hurry.
- Is it open?
- What's in it?
- I can see the boiler.
Just a bunch of old junk.
Tables, chairs and books.
There's nothing here, Lund.
- Are you sure?
- Hang on.
There's a door here,
but there isn't a handle.
Hang on. There's another door.
Just a second.
What do you see? Meyer.
Get down here.
Right now.
