The Killing (2007–2012): Season 3, Episode 7 - Episode #3.7 - full transcript

The police are searching for Robert
Zeuthen's nine-year-old daughter, Emilie

who disappeared earlier this evening
from her home.

What are you doing to find her?

- Sarah Lund. Who is this?
- The girl's all right.

I'm collecting on a debt.

I have a suggestion - a life for a life.
I'll get Zeuthen, you'll get the girl.

Emilie! No!

The perpetrator listened to you.
You made him think twice.

- I saw him shoot her.
- Did you?

Sarah Lund, Juncker and Borch
have gone to Jutland.

The perpetrator may have spared Emilie.



He won't finish until he knows
what happened back then.

- We don't know what happened.
- He shot her and threw her in the water.

- I can't feel it.
- And the investigation in Jutland?

We haven't found anything to show
that your daughter is alive.

You could say that mourning
is love without a home.

Don't!
Let me out, damn it!

I've decided to resign
as Prime Minister.

The assistant public prosecutor
had another meeting that day.

- I won't argue over Emilie's grave.
- They say she may still be alive.

The investigation is ongoing.
Ussing's affairs are being checked.

I'm siding with Ussing.
I hope you understand.

The public prosecutor was reluctant,
but Ussing insisted strongly.

Step down of your own accord
or we'll have to withdraw our support.

We're looking for someone
who may have been close to Louise.



- She only had us.
- Did anyone else see her that day?

One of your colleagues called to ask
about the same things an hour ago.

Why would the perpetrator
use your name, if he doesn't know you?

- Was Special Branch involved in this?
- I wasn't involved in that case.

- Why don't you believe me?
- What are you talking about?

You shut everyone out.
Me, us, your son.

No one's allowed into your life.

Her bike got broken that morning.
I think that's why she got a lift.

There was a man in a black car.

Those are all his notebooks.
He's crazy about car registrations.

- Where does that road lead?
- To a closed boat builder's yard.

That looks like Louise Hjelby's bike.
This is where she was taken.

Borch took the boy's book with
licence plate numbers this morning.

It was you and Special Branch who erased
everything about the black car.

- I'm not discussing this.
- Why is that book important?

THE KILLING III

Tell Ruth Hedeby
that the case is wide open.

We're not closing anything.
Call those who've taken time off, back in.

The resources will be there when
management sees what I've just seen.

- They didn't find anything in Jutland.
- Then send the men out again.

Ask the local police to keep searching
for Emilie, and coordinate it with Lund.

Give them all the help they need.

Call the Zeuthens
in for an urgent briefing.

Asbjørn is asking for reinforcements.
They've traced the perpetrator.

Asbjørn, what's happening?

Lund and Borch have tracked him down.
We're on our way there.

It didn't sound good.
They're not in control.

- What's the problem?
- Apparently they're trapped inside.

I don't know what happened,
but we're on our way.

Yes? What's up?

Push the book under the door,
then I'll spare you.

He wants the book.

Give that to me.

Listen, we don't have that book.
People are on their way here.

Turn the damn car engine off.
Do you hear me? Hello?

Hello!

No, you do it.

You do it, and then get me out.

Go!
We don't have time for this.

Drop the gun.

The book.

The police and Special Branch
have traced the perpetrator in Jutland,

but you need to focus on the meeting
with the party committee.

Listen, Kamper... Kamper?

Kamper, I just want to say...
I've just heard about the meeting.

I will of course back you up.

The Treasurer will undoubtedly try
to put you in a bad light.

She's tried to sway some of
the others ahead of the meeting.

It doesn't matter what she's done,
there won't be any meeting.

We're looking into
important information

that will clear the government of
all suspicion, and you arrange this?

As a Minister and a party member,
you're responsible to me alone.

So, go and tell your people that
you're sorry to have wasted their time.

- What information?
- I'm not getting into that.

But according to a witness,

it was Ussing who put pressure
on the prosecutor then.

- What witness?
- One of Ussing's former staff members.

Special Branch are looking into his affairs.
I can't give you any more details.

- Of course. Hopefully it isn't Seifert.
- Do you take us for complete idiots?

Everyone knows he was reported for
stealing from Ussing's campaign budget.

Well... That doesn't matter.
If it's true...

Regardless, it should be investigated.
I've asked Special Branch...

Unless Emilie has come back to life,
the meeting will begin in a minute,

with or without you.

- I'll contact the Ministry of Justice.
- Do that. I was about to suggest it.

- How the hell did he get away?
- I don't know.

- They're still looking for him.
- You were right. Emilie wasn't shot.

She wasn't there.
They're searching his car for clues.

- What the hell have you found then?
- Louise Hjelby's crime scene.

It seems she was picked up by her killer
in a black car on her way home.

He took her to an old boat builder's yard,
where she was held captive and abused.

- Then he faked a suicide in the harbour.
- And the perpetrator found this place?

He's trying to find whoever did it,
with a notebook he's acquired.

- What notebook?
- A boy was writing down licence plates.

The perpetrator
took the book from Borch.

- The Zeuthens have just arrived.
- How did Borch get that book?

You'll have to ask Borch
or Special Branch about that.

There was a reason.
I'd like to explain.

I don't want...

We've searched the dunes
and the beach with a team of dogs.

- They lost the scent by the stream.
- He's on foot. He's wounded.

They think he followed the stream inland.
There are large wetlands but it's dark...

I didn't help stop the investigation.

Send his blood to the lab
and have them test for matching DNA.

- And the car?
- They don't think she was in the car.

The dogs didn't even react.

We'll return to Copenhagen.

The notebook is likely to lead him
in that direction.

I couldn't have done it differently.

- I've told you everything.
- Who did you cover for?

I can't say anything before it's cleared.
It wouldn't make a difference.

Let me explain.
Why are you?

We're not just talking about
a single error.

From your relationship with Rosa
Lebech and a jilted ex-husband,

who leaks confidential material,
to the handling of the Zeuthen case.

You've ignored all warnings and haven't
called the Justice Minister to account.

The Ministry of Justice
is not to blame.

You're taking
the Zeuthen case personally,

and undermining
the party's credibility.

You must understand the situation,
you've put us in.

We owe it to the electorate,
and not least to the Zeuthens.

It's not up to the party
to remove the Prime Minister.

No Prime Minister has survived for long
without his party's backing.

What kind of party are we, if we
have nothing better to do than this?

Yes, our credibility, our future and
our standing with Zeeland are at stake,

the basis of our financial rescue plan,
but you know where I stand.

In spite of what the Treasurer's been
telling you about me, this is useless.

You chose me because you had faith.
I need that faith right now.

That won't bring Emilie back to life.
So you're not open to reason

and would rather have the party
fight a destructive internal war?

Then I'll call the business committee...
Please sit down so we can decide this.

Excuse me,
it's news from my department.

I'm not entirely up to date.

The police have salvaged what they
thought was the body of Emilie Zeuthen.

He apparently shot a duffel bag
rather than Emilie.

Clearly, we're only talking
about material damage.

This is indeed a joyful message.
So, if no one has any objections,

we'll have to conclude that events
have overtaken our discussion here.

It's even clearer in this one.

The perpetrator escaped, and there are
no signs that Emilie was in Jutland.

- The good news is, she may be alive.
- Has Zeuthen been informed?

Yes, he's at police HQ.
What happened?

We need to speak with Special Branch.

The witness must be taken seriously.
I want to know Ussing's involvement.

He's with Special Branch
but there's trouble.

How so?

The police accused Special Branch
of keeping information

from them in the old case.

Special Branch said
they didn't know about it.

I don't know what it's about.

But regarding the Treasurer,
you have every reason to be angry.

I'd just like you to let it slide.
No more trouble now.

Call the head of Special Branch in
to explain.

The current took the bag out into the
fjord where we found it 12 metres down.

The umbrella anchor made it sink, in spite
of the buoyancy of the other materials.

The bullets
went through bag and contents,

and match the calibre
used by the perp.

I wish I could answer
the questions that this raises but...

She's alive.

He was traced to Jutland, but there
are no signs Emilie was with him.

So far, her trail ends at the boat
in Copenhagen harbour.

We've intensified the search,
but as I've said, nothing is certain.

I have to warn you against...

Brief our head of security and all
other security staff on the matter.

No, we'll manage our own search,
and it begins right now.

I understand your frustration,
but you can't interfere in the search.

- We've wasted 48 hours.
- They weren't wasted.

We were about to tell our boy
that his sister was dead. Understand?

I apologise for our mistake,

but you'll only complicate matters
if you interfere.

This is not the right way.

I can explain. The girl was found dead
in that harbour in Jutland.

The local police found a notebook with
licence plates, and we were informed.

You told me Special Branch
weren't aware of the case. Correct?

Yes, and that was a mistake.
We didn't know all the details.

We were only interested in the book,

because the PM's campaign car
was in it.

- Excuse me, what?
- Your campaign car's licence plate.

We knew you had nothing to do with it,
but we kept an eye on the case.

- My car? I don't quite understand.
- During your last election campaign.

You went all over the country,

and your campaign car
was noted in the boy's book.

The public prosecutor told us
the case was solved. It was a suicide.

We had no idea that the book
was important until now.

The prosecutor covered up a murder -
what difference does the book make?

The other numbers are interesting,

not least because Anders Ussing's car
was also listed.

I was wrong to say we didn't know
about the case. It's regrettable.

What exactly does it mean,
that Ussing is listed in that book?

In light of the prosecutor's negligence
and the testimony you pointed out,

it is something
that we're keeping a keen eye on.

- As a suspect?
- It's a possibility.

Right now we're focusing
on finding the perpetrator.

The book won't be of much use to him.
It only contains car registrations.

He's wounded.
We'll catch him soon.

Then we'll hopefully also know
what's happened to Emilie Zeuthen.

Will Ussing be investigated?

We'll leave it to Special Branch
and the police.

Focus on our duel with Ussing tomorrow.
I'm not slinging mud without more intel.

You must admit,
things aren't too bad.

- Lebech would like to meet again.
- Bloody hell, is she serious?

The Centre Party have made their choice.
Will you check on the event tomorrow?

Yes.
I'll go in five minutes. See you.

Thank you for all your efforts, Karen.
I want you to know they mean a lot.

- It's my job.
- Yes, but anyway...

Do you have a minute?

No, not really.

I'm off to the Ministry of Justice
to check up on Mogens.

I'm sorry about everything
that's happened.

I understand if you don't
trust me any more.

Listen, I have quite a lot
to prepare for tomorrow.

I tried to keep things separate,
but I'm not as strong as you.

I've had pressure from all sides and now
there's the thing with my ex-husband.

But that doesn't change
how I feel about you.

I'd like you to understand that.

She was at the bridge. His boat
was found in Copenhagen harbour.

We'll look there.

The police have put in extra manpower
at the harbour and along the coast.

- They've checked all ships in port.
- Where have the police not been?

- They haven't checked the containers.
- Have them checked.

- Is that realistic? They're sealed.
- Contact the freight station chiefs.

Say we'll cover all the losses
that possible delays may cost.

But they're not all Zeeland containers,
and the contents are private property.

I'll get it started right away.

I'll ask our legal team
to handle the case.

Apart from that,
the Board wants a meeting.

You'll have to take care of it.

I left the living room briefly,

when I returned,
Carl had turned on the TV.

He was watching the news.

Don't listen to the things
they say about Emilie.

Mum and Dad are looking for her.
You can ask us anything you like.

- What if you can't find her?
- We'll find her, dear.

- When?
- Soon. We'll find her soon.

I've also looked for her. I thought
she was in the gap, but she wasn't.

What gap?

The place she goes
when she doesn't want to hear anymore.

- What doesn't Emilie want to hear?
- When you argue and stuff.

Let's go downstairs
and get a cookie. Come.

I've packed the basics for him.

We'll wait and see where
he wants to sleep. Any news?

Not yet.

Did Carl or Emilie ever mention
a place they call the gap?

No.

Special Branch insist

that their concern for the PM
and the notebook meant nothing.

We need all the information.
They must have a copy of the numbers.

The head of Special Branch will come
in the morning to explain.

- Did Borch say anything to you?
- No.

Any news on the perp?

We don't know
how he got your number.

He returned to Zealand
as a stowaway on a train.

We found blood matching his.

- Did no one see anything?
- No.

- But we have the lab results.
- Hi, don't turn on the heating.

The preliminary tests of the perp's DNA
indicate with 99% certainty,

that he's Louise Hjelby's
biological father.

I've set things in motion.

The father's unknown,
so dig up more on the mother.

She got pregnant in '96.

Who was she? Where did she work?
She must have talked to someone.

I brought the plants in. If the room
is too hot, they'll think it's spring.

- I'll call if we find anything.
- Yes, OK.

Let's hope for a period without frost,
or we can't plant them until spring.

I've made some pumpkin soup.

You didn't see it. Close it again.
The ultrasound images.

I'll heat the soup.

No, I'm not up for soup, candles,
and ultrasound images right now.

There's no need for you to get upset.
I'm only staying till tomorrow.

Did you speak to Mark?

Yes. All he said was
that he didn't know what to do.

I need to think about myself now...
and the baby.

I'll move in with a friend,
or move back to my parents.

That's likely to change
when the baby comes.

- You have the flat.
- No, that won't be ready.

Someone
stopped by to inspect the ceilings.

They say there's asbestos,
and that it'll all have to be torn down.

Well, if you could handle being
a single mum, I suppose I can as well.

I don't think I handled it
particularly well.

I thought I could give Mark a...

Well, I couldn't.

Things didn't work out with Mark's dad,
so, that was the end of that.

- Why didn't it work?
- Is there any more soup?

You were together
and you got pregnant.

I didn't love him.

There was someone else before who...

I also left him,
even though he was the one who...

Well, it wasn't to be.
That's all right now.

I need to take this.
You can stay as long as you like.

And I'd also be happy
to have a picture of...

- Yes, what's up?
- Why did you stop me?

Your Special Branch guy deserved to die.
You've seen what he's covered up.

Where is Emilie Zeuthen?

I need your help, Lund.

We know you didn't take her
to Jutland. Is she alive?

The book lists 12 black cars that day.
One of them picked up a little girl.

I need names and
social security numbers on the 12.

I'll take care of the rest.

No, give yourself up and give me Emilie,
then I promise to solve the case.

I'll call tomorrow night to get
the names and social security numbers.

I can't give you that.

Doesn't your daughter deserve
for the case to be solved?

Your blood matches hers.

I promise that her killer
will be punished,

but you need to give me Emilie.

I'll get a copy of the car numbers
in the morning and then I'll start.

OK?

OK. Don't disappoint me.
You don't have to wait till morning.

There's a copy on your doormat.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15

We'll put Lund's address
under surveillance.

No, thanks.

I feel less safe with Special Branch,
so, we'll handle it ourselves.

I know how it looks,

but our task then was to make sure
the PM wasn't tarnished.

How do you know,
the PM wasn't involved?

It was his campaign car.
Chauffeur, staff and all.

If you think we've put pressure
on the public prosecutor, the answer is no.

That would've been a decent guess.

The prosecutor
also took us by surprise.

Borch has given you
correct information.

Except you knew about the case

and stole that book
from under our noses,

and you would never
have mentioned it yourselves.

Of course we would.

Borch confiscated it
so we could form a general idea first.

- Yeah, right.
- Being offended like a girl won't help.

No one knew that the case involved a
black car until we found the crime scene.

Which one of the 12 black cars is it?

The public prosecutor changed the date
to cover for one of them.

- Which one?
- If we knew that, we would have said.

- Is Ussing's car among them?
- Yes. Also a campaign car.

We're looking into the claim
that he knew Louise Hjelby.

It may have come from
a questionable witness.

- Then we'll have to question Ussing.
- Yes, but not to throw suspicion on him.

The girl was abused and killed
and thrown in the harbour.

If justice is all the perp wants
in exchange for Emilie, let's provide it.

- Or what?
- She's right. We have no leads on Emilie.

And we can't afford to adopt
the refined manners of Special Branch.

I gave him my word,
and I believe he'll give us Emilie.

- But we must move now.
- Yes, indeed.

You will search the harbour,
and Borch will assemble a team.

No, no, we'll take care of that.
You can take the damned harbour.

Well, now we seem
to be cooperating again.

He could have been
in Copenhagen harbour

two hours before he stole the car,

- and he had plenty of time to hide Emilie.
- Search everything again.

There must be a witness or a camera.
Someone must have seen something.

We're trying,
but Zeuthen's people are everywhere.

We're surrounded by security guards.

- Brix is trying to change that.
- OK, what about Borch?

Are you two OK?
I know he's the one who fucked up,

but he got us back on track
when we thought the girl was dead.

Call me if something turns up, Asbjørn.

It can't come as a surprise
that there are things I couldn't tell you.

- Don't be like that. I've been loyal.
- It's coincidental, I know.

It meant something to me,
what happened over there.

Shall we get going?

- Give me a quick briefing.
- The nursery had 70-100 employees.

Now it's threatened with closure,
and has debts of several million.

Thank you.

- Is anything wrong?
- No, no.

- Lebech has withdrawn from Ussing.
- Has Ussing commented on that?

He's probably about to.

I don't comment on rumours.

Would you like to hear
our job creation policies?

- It's a storm in a teacup.
- Yes, but as I said...

The organisers are asking us to answer
a few extra questions. What do you say?

As long as we talk job creation reform
and government abusing the benefit law.

- You can borrow mine.
- Thank you.

I'll just run through it
with my advisor.

It's a crude game you're playing.
If you think you can sneak a win,

with rumours from an unreliable witness,
you must be really desperate.

- There's more than just a witness.
- I'll explain myself, don't worry.

You prepare yourself for a libel suit.

- It's all right by us.
- Good.

Anders was called back to Christiansborg
to help the police.

- Unfortunately, it couldn't wait.
- What a shame.

No comment.

Now he wants them to solve an old case.
Why should I wait for that?

- Did you find anything?
- Searching the containers takes time.

- Then hire more people.
- It's not people we need.

We're still negotiating with a few
less-than-cooperative shipping companies.

- Just solve the problem.
- Would you excuse us for a moment?

I've spoken to the Board.
Everyone wishes you the best,

but we have
no managing director,

prices are dropping,
rumours are rife.

They can voice their complaints to me,
otherwise, just do as I ask.

I'm paying you to do as I ask,
so, do it!

That wasn't necessary.

- Here's the TV script.
- Thank you.

Neither the nanny nor Carl and Emilie's
teachers have heard of the gap.

Isn't it just a game
they've made up?

- Are they ready?
- Yes.

The police called.
They advise against doing it.

No.
Come.

You can help save Emilie's life.

- I'm sure your voters will forgive you.
- I've already answered questions.

As you know, Emilie's kidnapping
is closely tied to an old murder case,

which your friend, Assistant Public
Prosecutor Schultz was responsible for.

I was appalled by the whole story,
but I have explained our meeting.

- According to a witness...
- The meeting was about Louise Hjelby.

Seifert is totally unreliable.
Is he really the cause of this meeting?

- So, you didn't know her, Louise Hjelby?
- Sorry.

On April 20th,
two and a half years ago,

you were in the vicinity of Gudbjerghavn,
the town where Hjelby was killed.

Here's a copy of the hotel guest list.

I was campaigning, it's my constituency,
so, of course I was around there.

- You drove a black car.
- A BMW 3 series.

It was spotted on the road where
Louise was taken. Same day, same time.

- I suppose I was at an election meeting.
- You suppose?

The girl was abused and killed.
Peter Schultz wrote it off as a suicide.

- So, be precise for your own sake.
- What did you speak to Schultz about?

And don't say you spoke of
the good old days at law school.

Bloody hell!

We used this girl
in one of our campaigns.

It was a campaign
in aid of foster children.

- Who are you?
- Per Monrad, political advisor.

The girl's foster family was an example
that our efforts out there bore fruit,

so, it wasn't good news
that she'd taken her own life.

An expensive campaign was binned
before we even got started.

How was the public prosecutor involved?
What did you need him for?

It was Peter's case. I just wanted to
make sure that this wasn't relevant.

What did Peter say about the case?

It was confidential.
I respected that.

- So, you actually did know the girl.
- That's not how it works.

They find someone, I show up for photos.
I wouldn't recognise her on the street.

So, you didn't give Louise Hjelby
a lift that afternoon?

Are you insinuating
that I killed that little girl?

- No, I'm just asking.
- This is Ussing's agenda for that day.

As you can see, we met with the PM
in Esbjerg during that time.

- Is that answer enough? Then we...
- No, it isn't.

I need all the material from your diary
and from that campaign.

If I don't have it by this afternoon,
we'll come back with a search warrant.

Thank you.

The advertising agency
confirm that they used Louise.

How the hell could Special Branch
have missed that?

They're sending us a copy of the film.

Do you know anything
about Ussing's private life?

Or perhaps you're not allowed
to talk about that either?

Well?

He divorced his Thai wife
five years ago.

They have two grown-up children
who he doesn't see very often.

He's hetero and sexually active.
Anything else you want to know?

I want to talk to his office staff
and his campaign staff.

The PM's department must be able
to tell us if his alibi holds water.

We're hoping that people will help us.

If anyone has seen something
or seen her, then come forward.

She knows that we're looking for her,
and we'll continue until we find her.

Anyone with information

which leads to Emilie being found alive,

will be offered a combined reward

of up to 100 million Danish Kroner.

This sum is close to the amount,
which the perpetrator rejected,

and without a doubt, the largest reward
ever offered in this country.

I thought you had Zeuthen
under control.

The press is all over Ussing. No one
would touch him with a barge pole.

The party's come to heel, the treasurer
wants to reconcile, and Lebech is back.

- Maybe Karen should set up meetings.
- You do it. Karen's helping the police.

They want files from the last election.
They're examining Ussing's explanation.

- Fine. I'll set something up.
- Stoffer...

I'm glad you came back to help
and that you reminded me,

not to do things half-heartedly.
We're sticking to that, right?

Yes, yes, damn it.
What's on your mind?

- What's Zeuthen doing? We made a deal.
- Zeuthen can't be controlled.

The network has crashed five times.

All the world think
they've seen something.

- And there are complaints from Ussing.
- Ussing was lying through his teeth.

I hope he doesn't win the election.
That would seriously slash our budget.

- Call me when you know more.
- Hello, Mathias Borch, Special Branch.

I need some information from the PM's
appointments diary for the last election.

Yes, I understand.
Have a seat.

Did you have a meeting with Ussing
on April 20th of that year?

- Yes, it seems they had a debate.
- And you're sure of that?

Yes, about the fringes of Denmark,
in a fish meal factory in Esbjerg.

Is there any possibility,
that Ussing didn't turn up?

No, I would remember that.
He's our main opponent.

Do you remember how Ussing acted?
Was there anything strange?

- No, I'm afraid I don't remember.
- What about the Prime Minister?

I'm just asking.
Did he drive on his own that day,

- or take a break in the ministerial car?
- That's not very likely.

That car is only available
in connection with the PM's office.

We have a bus and some campaign cars.
He doesn't take breaks and drive alone.

Excuse me, I have to take this.
Borch.

There's something here.
It seems that debate was moved.

How so? Ussing didn't take part
in the debate with the PM?

Yes, but a couple of days later.
Ussing requested to reschedule.

The candidates sometimes
juggle things around.

What reason did Ussing give? Were other
meetings rescheduled? Who instructed it?

I want to know everything there is.

I don't have it all here.
I'd have to go back to the archives.

Feel free to do so.
Thank you.

Here's my card.
That's my number.

Thank you.

That was the Worker's Bank.
I need to talk to Ussing again.

Then join the queue.

The calls are pouring in.
Something will turn up. How's Carl?

We've just come in the door.
I'll be there as soon as I can. Bye.

- Let's ride the bike to the gap.
- No.

I know where it is.

- It's in the garage, isn't it?
- No.

Then tell me.

Is it down in the basement?
Is it?

I don't feel like
riding up to the gap.

What do you mean by up?

- Carl, what do you mean by up?
- Emilie said not to tell you.

You're going to show me
that place right now.

MUM AND DAD

Does Dad know
that you come up here?

We don't want to tell anyone.
We're only playing up here.

This isn't Emilie's iPad. Her one is
downstairs. Where did this come from?

She said she got it from the man
with the cat down by the fence.

It's the one. It's the same car
that Ussing drove back then.

But it could take the technicians
several weeks to check every detail.

What the hell are you doing?
I don't have time for this.

According to the PM's department
the debate was called off by you.

So what?
That doesn't make me a killer.

I was campaigning. I couldn't have
moved my ears without someone noticing.

According to your driver back then,
you drove off for a couple of hours.

- It's possible. I need to go.
- Where did you go?

None of your staff knew where you were,
until you turned up at a hotel in Varde.

- Please move away from my car.
- You're a Worker's Bank board member.

Did you help the public prosecutor
with a bad investment debt he had?

- Where were you that day?
- We're talking about a lot of millions.

Did he do something for you in return?

- Answer the questions.
- You can contact my lawyer.

You recognised the girl and drove off
with her and the bike. Then what?

- If you can explain, now is the time.
- Give me the car keys.

Ussing, you're not going anywhere.
The car is going to be examined.

You drive me insane!

This is harassment! I don't know
what the hell you're thinking.

You'll be called in for questioning.
You can explain yourself then. What?

Solving the old case won't help.
Emilie didn't return to the harbour.

- We don't know if she's alive.
- What are you talking about?

We've gotten some pictures
from a camera in the harbour.

- Emilie isn't on the boat.
- That's impossible. She must have been.

I'm watching it now.
The perp arrives at 03.54 - alone.

20 minutes later he passes
the port guard in a red van.

- He must have put her down somewhere.
- There's no point staying here.

We'll go to the North harbour
where Louise Hjelby's mother worked.

It's a cafeteria called the Marigold.

- What?
- Are you coming?

Where are we going?
Where are we going?

Mogens and the treasurer
are coming now,

and Lebech
would like a meeting later.

Rumour has it that Ussing was involved
in financial transactions with Schultz.

The police have questioned him twice,
and now they're examining his car.

I'll join you later with Lebech.
I need to find that material for the police.

Very well, Karen.

- Hi.
- Hi.

The party committee send their regards.
They're up in the air.

We haven't had this much support in the
constituencies since the early noughties.

Wonderful.

I realise that your witness
wasn't completely wrong about Ussing.

I regret our confrontation.

Mogens has made a huge effort
to clear up the situation.

I hope you don't hold a grudge.
I've brought a little consolation.

It's a '97 Graham's Vintage Port.

I intended to open it
on election night but...

- We've been through a great deal so...
- Just leave the cork in the bottle.

Keep it for when I've appointed my
new Cabinet. You'll need it for comfort.

This is all a misunderstanding.

- Birgit knows she's made a mistake.
- It's not up for discussion.

The PM doesn't trust you anymore.
And that won't change.

Kristian...

The permanent secretary will prepare
the treasury for your dismissal,

when we've won the election.

That's the end of it, Birgit.

Goodbye and thank you.

It's OK, Mogens.

Nothing else will happen.

I've spoken to the party committee.
Even the reluctant ones are excited.

So, it's agreed. We can finally
point to you as Prime Minister.

I thought we could go for dinner.
We don't need to be so formal.

Let's deal with the formal matters.

There will be no alliance,
neither politically nor privately.

Not because you and I can't agree,

or because your ex-husband leaked
documents from the Ministry of Justice,

but simply because you weren't there
when I needed you.

What's up with the Treasurer?
I just met her on the stairs.

- Did the police get that information?
- Yes, but oddly enough some is missing.

- What's happening with Lebech?
- We're better off alone. Are you coming?

Pull it all out. When we're done here
we'll check the area by the ferry port.

They're almost done at the east station,
but there's a problem with customs.

- I don't care. Check all containers.
- Of course...

- What did the police say?
- I haven't heard from them.

- Everything's a bit chaotic.
- Tell them I want an answer.

Robert, I know how he contacted her
and how he could know those things.

Hi, and thanks a lot for the iPad.
I'm really happy with it.

My parents forbid me to have a profile
online, but they'll never find this one.

They don't talk together
and they don't know what I'm doing.

Thanks for the kitten photos.

I'm not sure
which one of the cuties I prefer.

When they grow up, you can bring
them along, so I can meet them.

If you feel like chatting tomorrow,
then write on my wall. Bye-bye.

Excuse me, I've spoken to the police.
Emilie wasn't brought to the harbour.

They found some pictures
from a camera.

They believe that she was
taken to some other place. Or...

The mother worked in the cafeteria,
but the whole area is practically derelict.

The homeless
are the only ones here.

Are you sure you haven't seen... Look.
Did you see this boat three nights ago?

I sleep at night.
You should go now.

Here's 200 Kroner. Think carefully.
Didn't you see anyone at all?

Listen. The only ones out here are me,
Mr T. Jensen... and the cat man.

- But you don't bother with him.
- Let's move on, there's nothing here.

- What cat man?
- The psycho who lives down the well.

He acts like he owns the place,
but his rent isn't any higher than ours.

He isn't here.
See what you can find.

Those are the clothes Emilie wore
that night on the bridge.

Winter boots and survival gear.
What the hell is going on?

Look at this.

What is it?

Container numbers, I think.

There must be several thousand.

No, he hasn't shipped her off as freight.
He couldn't have.

- Yes?
- I thought we had a deal.

We do have a deal, we're working on it.
Is it because of Zeuthen's reward?

I don't give a damn about Zeuthen!
You promised to solve that case.

- I think we're closing in.
- I read the news. Ussing is important.

- They're screwing you again, Lund.
- No, they're not.

- It's going to take some time.
- There weren't 12 black cars, but 13.

What do you mean?

Someone tore a page out of the notebook.

Most likely your friend
from Special Branch.

I'm sorry I didn't notice it earlier.

- I'll have to find the guilty myself.
- What car? Give me the number.

I promise you...

What bloody car is he talking about?
Did you tear out a page?

It's not true.
He's lying.

Yes, there's a page missing.
But he found the number.

You can see the imprint. AF 98208.

That's not possible.
It wasn't there.

Which one wasn't there?
Which one?

What are you talking about?
What is that number?

The Prime Minister's car.

But we knew that.
Special Branch checked it out.

No, that was the campaign car.

This is the ministerial car.
