The Killing (2007–2012): Season 3, Episode 8 - Episode #3.8 - full transcript

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

- What are you doing to find her?
- Speak to me.

He may have spared Emilie
and hidden her on the boat.

Give me the book,
then you'll live.

How the hell could he get away?

What have you found?

Louise Hjelby's crime scene.
He's trying to find the guilty,

with a notebook he's acquired.

I know how it looks, but our task then
was to make sure the PM wasn't tarnished.

Which of the 12 black cars is it?
All he wants is justice, so let's provide it.

- The bullets went through the bag.
- She's alive?



- We'll start a search right now.
- Where did this iPad come from?

- I know how he contacted her.
- Thank you very much for the iPad.

- You had faith. I need that faith now.
- That won't bring Emilie back to life.

The police have salvaged
what they thought was Emilie's body.

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

- We can now back you as Prime Minister.
- I hope you don't hold a grudge.

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

- Didn't you see anybody that night?
- There's only me and the cat man here.

These are the clothes Emilie wore.

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

- There were 13 black cars in the book.
- That's the ministerial car.

I'm sorry I didn't notice it earlier.
I'll have to find the guilty one myself.

THE KILLING III

The PM's department was notified.
Nothing odd has been observed.



- What do you think the man will do?
- We don't know. I want a list of staff.

That's over 300 people. They've all been
vetted, and we have names and ID's.

Are there other entrances
for journalists, workmen, cleaners?

No. With your limited description of him,
I'm sure everything's under control.

Can I have that list?

No one in Special Branch knew
that the PM's car was in Jutland then.

- Or that a page was missing.
- Well, it didn't tear itself out.

- Can I have that list?
- We haven't touched that page.

- It still seems to be about Ussing.
- Except the perp says it's not.

There you are.

What about CCTV? I'd like to see
who arrived within the last hour.

- As I said, everyone's been checked.
- Good, but I want to see that footage.

- Lund speaking.
- It's Brix. What the hell is happening?

Thank you and good luck
in the election.

All three are strong believers
in our crisis plan and the welfare state.

Why didn't I hear about you sacking
the treasurer beforehand?

Because you wouldn't have agreed.
Did Stoffer go to the meeting already?

No, he's at some security briefing.
Even so, we could have discussed it.

I can't have a minister who's against me.
Let's just find Stoffer and go.

Going solo makes you very vulnerable,
and you don't need any further unrest.

I don't want any more hitches.
We've finished with Rosa Lebech.

We're in a strong position. Ussing being
a suspect has knocked out the opposition.

- We just need to get Emilie back home.
- There's also something odd going on.

In the archives I noticed that
our driving report from then is missing.

- What driving report?
- The one that outlines...

According to security, Emilie Zeuthen's
kidnapper may be here at Christiansborg.

- He's here?
- We need to get back to the department.

- Come on now.
- Honestly...

- We've checked everyone properly.
- This could take all night.

Maybe the perp conned you,
and he's out to get Ussing.

No, Ussing showed up at HQ
with his lawyer and is not a suspect.

- I need the list for the last hour.
- What do you mean?

Apparently Ussing has an alibi
for when the girl disappeared.

He was at a hotel with a woman
on his staff, and she's confirmed it.

This is unacceptable. People need
to get home on planes and trains.

A photocopier service was here
for a few hours this afternoon.

But 20 minutes ago, one of them returned
and showed his ID after working hours.

All their staff are security approved.
They often come when things are quiet.

His ID is also approved
for the PM's department.

Where is he right now?

How do you play it forward?

He said he'd forgotten to change
a printer cartridge at the secretariat.

- Is that the secretariat?
- That's the PM department's red zone.

What are they saying?
Why is Emilie Zeuthen's kidnapper here?

It's probably just a false alarm.
Shit, we'll be late for that meeting!

We'd like you in the safe room.

- Let's go.
- Where's Karen?

A report had gone missing.
She's looking for a backup.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, can I help you?

Hello, I'm talking to you.

He's been spotted around here.
He's wearing a cap.

- I'll go that way.
- You two come with me.

I don't bloody believe this!

You saw him
meddling with the servers?

- Only his back.
- Why didn't you get him?

Stop. Let's get everyone out
except the technicians.

She's one of us.
The perp has stolen a hard drive.

- What's on that hard drive?
- We don't know yet.

First of all, why did
the perpetrator come here?

To find out who drove the ministerial car
on a certain date two and a half years ago.

Sarah Lund, CID.
This is Mathias Borch, Special Branch.

The ministerial car wasn't used
during the election campaign.

A boy saw the car and wrote down
the licence plate on April 20th.

- The day the girl in the old case...
- But it couldn't have been that car.

Why is the perpetrator interested
in my car being in Jutland?

- Ussing is involved in this, not the PM.
- Ussing is no longer a suspect.

The perp kidnapped Emilie Zeuthen,
because the old case was never solved.

We have to investigate
every lead we get.

- So you think that we're involved?
- Not necessarily.

We know for a fact that
your ministerial car was over there.

We just want to know who drove it.

It's in your best interests to answer.
The perp took a hard drive,

containing every detail about your car.
Who drove it and where, GPS information.

So am I or anyone in my department
suspected of involvement in a killing?

- Let's sit down and talk about this.
- The conversation ends here.

You're wrong, and one thing's for sure,
the PM didn't drive that car on that day.

The page in the notebook
with your car on it was torn out.

- There's something you're not telling.
- Do you know who you're talking to?

Tell us who drove it. Someone pressed
a public prosecutor to drop the case.

If you know something,
now is the time to tell us.

We'll be in touch.

That was great.
Terrific!

We've now checked the harbour
and all the containers.

Unfortunately, we haven't found
any clues to where Emilie may be.

- Was the iPad sent to the police?
- Yes, but we haven't heard back yet.

They found a place in the harbour.

The police say there are signs
that Emilie was there briefly

before he sent her on
and abandoned the boat.

- Signs that she's alive?
- They didn't say.

Sent on to where?

The police think she may have been
put on a ship going abroad.

Possibly in a container.
23 freighters were in Øresund that night.

The problem is,
that it was three days ago.

The ships have reloaded, and the number
Emilie could be onboard has doubled.

I want those ships
and terminals checked out.

- Several of the ships are at sea.
- Call them back. We'll foot the bill.

Robert, even if we pay for it,
that won't be enough.

We can't buy certainty.
She may have been put ashore.

All the calls about the reward -
was there nothing useful?

No, unfortunately, not yet.

Notify the freighters
and keep taking the calls.

Any news?

I'm calling Carl to say goodnight.

I just want to hear his voice.

It's not your fault.

I didn't know about the iPad...

...or that she was sitting in the attic
talking to the perpetrator.

She was angry with us -
with both of us.

You told me that we would find her,
so I know that we will.

OK?

OK.

If there are any more calls,
then forward them to me. Thanks.

People can't get through to the police.
Now they're calling Zeeland directly.

A reward of a hundred million
was sure to make people act like maniacs.

I see what's happening with Robert.

He's being the same man
that he's always been.

Unreasonable with you
and inattentive to the kids.

There's the cat, the iPad,

and Zeeland could be to blame for all
of this, because they're hiding something.

Robert and Zeeland are not to blame
for anything, and the police agree.

Hey...

...you know that I'd do anything for you.

- Maja...
- I'd like to go home to Carl now.

The chart and container number indicates
she was shipped off, but no specifics.

Send a copy to Zeuthen
when you're done.

Didn't she leave us any clues?

- If she was here, it was only briefly.
- Is there anything on the perp?

Lots of fingerprints we can't identify.

The homeless say he kept to himself.

And the connection with Louise's mother?
Any clues to who he may be?

He's kept a photo of her which was taken
long before she fell ill with cancer.

The perp stole a hard drive.
He needs a computer to see what's on it.

We'll start with libraries
and internet cafés. I'll call you back.

Someone has to know something.
What about the photocopier service?

The man broke into the company car
and stole clothes and ID.

The cameras show that he's limping.
It's impressive that you didn't get him.

Then what?

No news. The Prime Minister's department
will have to tell us what they know.

If anything. So far, it's just a claim
based on scribbles in a boy's notebook.

I wish I'd known about them 12 hours ago,
when you said you'd told us everything.

- We weren't aware of it.
- Clearly. Was the PM's car in Jutland?

You're not helping Emilie
by clamming up all the time.

The election didn't allow time to watch
the PM's car. His department rejects it.

The page with the ministerial car
was torn out which indicates...

That's speculation. It could have been
the public prosecutor or the boy himself.

We need to show the perp
that we want to solve the case.

- No, we need to find the perp.
- That's what we're doing, damn it!

Borch, come here.
Borch, come here.

Ask management to let us question and
search the Prime Minister's department.

A young boy collecting licence plates
won't convince management.

Then come up with something.
Otherwise we risk the perp never calling.

I've had the container numbers sent
to Zeeland. I'll go hear their opinion.

I've just received a complaint from
the PM's department. What's going on?

- There's a reason for what we've done.
- First the opposition and now the PM.

- We'll send them a sincere apology.
- Ruth... Ruth...

...we need to talk.

I want rid of these accusations,
and I want the ministerial car checked out.

The hard disk
and the driving report are missing.

I'm looking for the driver.

We've cancelled this evening's meetings.
I rescheduled the sponsors for tomorrow.

- What are the drivers saying?
- They'll call us back.

No, call them in. If Emilie's life
depends on it, I'll ask them myself.

There's no reason to talk to anyone.

I'm the one who took the report
this afternoon.

I didn't want the police to have it
before talking to you.

The ministerial car was driven then.

Who drove the car?

- What the hell are you talking about?
- It was your son, damn it!

It was Benjamin who drove the car.

A demonstration against the banks' part
in the financial crisis went sour.

Benjamin was recognised by police
as one of the troublemakers.

He was only 17. They called me
to get in touch with you.

I asked a driver to pick him up and
bring him to Jutland where we were.

When they arrived at the hotel, Benjamin
stole the keys and took off in the car.

The driver wrote as follows.
"April 20th. Passenger: Benjamin Kamper."

- Why didn't you say anything?
- I didn't want you involved in it.

I promised Benjamin not to tell you.

He wanted to provoke. He was angry,
and he'd had a few drinks.

How long was he gone with the car?

I found him late at night.
He called me from some bus station.

He was feeling down
and he'd run out of petrol.

- And you still didn't say a word.
- Did he meet the girl?

No, he drove around until he broke down.
Then I sent him back to Copenhagen.

I want a full account of when he arrived,
what happened and when he was found.

- Anything else you've lied about?
- No.

You're telling it all to the police.

If this comes out, it'll look as if we
put pressure on the public prosecutor.

I don't give a damn. The police
need to know as soon as possible.

You'd better look at this.

We're investigating a series of events
in the Prime Minister's department,

and we'll continue until we get
some satisfactory answers.

- What's it about?
- I can't comment any further on it.

But we're not missing any opportunity
to get Emilie Zeuthen back alive.

I'll start answering phones
and preparing a press release.

- Then there's your ex, Benjamin's mum.
- Well, just leave that to me.

Would you please keep Stoffer away
from me? I don't want to see him.

Of course.

Chairman Gilsfort has heard about the
accusations against the Prime Minister.

He wants a briefing.
I'll handle that.

And there's someone here
from the police.

You know the one.
She says it's important.

Unless you know where Emilie is
we've nothing to talk about.

I understand, but did you look
at the container numbers I sent you?

You listed all the containers in port three
days ago. We've searched most of them.

We'll inform the police abroad.
Are some containers more likely to...

- No. And what about the iPad?
- The technicians are working on it.

- It offers an explanation...
- That was Maja. She's in the basement.

I need some information about former
employees. It'll only take a minute.

Unfortunately, we're all quite busy.

We still think the old murder case
is the key to finding Emilie.

The perp is the biological father
of the girl who was killed.

We have already provided
personnel records and photos.

He's no oil rig worker. The man we're
after has extensive technical knowledge.

He knows everything about the harbour.
It's also in Zeuthen's interest...

Don't tell me about Zeuthen's interests.
I know them better than you.

Then help me. We're looking for
an engineer or someone like that.

His employment must have changed,
when the girl died.

Two and a half years ago,
our staff turnover was high.

Why?

The crisis was biting.
Many in the business had gone under.

Zeeland took over a number of companies
and their employees,

but we lost some.

I need those personnel records
to see if anything stands out.

- Right. I'll put it in motion.
- Thanks.

Just so that we understand each other...

If Emilie loses her life
because of an old murder case

that you haven't solved properly,

it would be unbearable
for Robert Zeuthen,

and it would have consequences
that neither you nor I could imagine.

Hi.

Can we stay at yours
in the guest room?

- Hi, Dad.
- Hi, dear boy.

Just until we find something else.

Of course.
Come, let's go home.

Thank you.

I'll get someone to pick up your car.

We've been briefed by
the Prime Minister's department.

They admit the PM's car was in Jutland
around the time of the murder.

It was the PM's 17-year-old son
who took off in the car.

- The driver's report confirms it.
- What was his son doing there?

A sad story about the son getting
upset with the dad and driving around.

The report supposedly just fell
behind a bookcase this afternoon.

How do we know that this is correct?

The PM's brother, Kristoffer Kamper
witnessed the episode.

He's willing to talk to us
tomorrow morning.

I'VE MOVED IN WITH A FRIEND.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. EVA.

- We need to bring in the son.
- Lund, you should try to keep up.

The son died.

The official story was,
that it was an accident,

but to the best of my knowledge,
it was a suicide.

It happened a few weeks
after Kamper won the election.

Special Branch doesn't believe that
it could be the son. We'll press on.

- We'll call the brother in for a chat.
- OK.

Keep your phone turned on.

Hopefully the perp calls you.

I've been outside for half an hour.
Can I talk to you for a minute?

If you've heard about the PM's son
then you know they're hiding something.

- Of course there's more to it than that.
- What do you want?

This is information on the PM's son.
I wanted to make sure you had it.

- I could have gotten it tomorrow.
- Yes.

I won't be there tomorrow.

They've taken me off the case.
I'm to stay away.

I'm sorry if I've been
a jerk to you.

I should have told you everything
from the beginning.

But I really don't know what happened
to that page in the notebook.

I hope you believe that.

The kidnapping of Emilie Zeuthen
is said to be tied to an old murder case.

Is it true that the PM's car
is part of the investigation?

- Hi. What's your name?
- Astrid.

I'm Kristian.
Shall we take a couple of pictures?

That's it. Thank you.
Take care of yourselves.

I'm trying to tell Zeuthen's assistant
about the situation we're in.

He hasn't replied.

Stoffer is with the police
and we're calling it a briefing.

- How long are we here for?
- First a tour with Ussing and the press,

and then you're having a chat
with the kids in the yard.

- There's something we need to discuss.
- It's obvious the school needs a boost.

Benjamin wasn't found until later.
He went missing for almost 12 hours.

He wanted to be alone.
Stoffer said there was nothing to it.

He took his own life
less than two weeks later.

- The police will link the two things.
- There is no connection.

- He had depression.
- Hello, welcome.

The kids are getting into their seats.
Would you mind waiting for a minute?

- Not at all.
- We can go in here.

Nice drawings. A splash of colour
on the walls brightens things up.

Certainly.

I was surprised to hear that your
ministerial car was in the spotlight.

- I won't use it here in the run up.
- Thank you.

But don't show me any consideration.

That's exactly what my staff told me.

I would be within my rights to, after
your move with that unreliable witness.

You'll have to take that up
with your own conscience.

I have to follow the fact
that the old case was covered up,

and now someone has a clear motive.

Your brother took his time
in coming forward with the truth.

Do his contacts in the state apparatus
include a certain public prosecutor?

- No, and you shouldn't say that.
- Of course you would say that.

Otherwise, things would look bad with
Zeeland and the Emilie Zeuthen case.

- Shall we get started?
- The police want to talk to you.

What about?

I'm sorry but I think they're
suspecting Benjamin of the murder.

Benjamin Kamper, A-levels,
mentally unstable,

and diagnosed as being bi-polar,
or manic-depressive.

Politically active on the far left,
associated with several red rags etc.

After the trip to Jutland
things suddenly go downhill.

He takes off from home again
and walks in front of a freight train.

Hi, this is Eva,
leave a message.

According to Kristoffer Kamper,
Benjamin wasn't anywhere near Louise.

- And the former Zeeland employees?
- We can't wait for them to send records.

Lund, the perp hasn't contacted you.

There won't be any room for us
at this particular address,

if we tear open the PM's personal wounds
for no reason during an election.

It must be him. That would explain
why a public prosecutor covered it up.

Yes.
I'll ask around again.

It's up to the Prime Minister himself,
if he wants to meet with us.

Even though the material is impressive,
you shouldn't trust Mathias Borch.

Is that understood?

We haven't heard from the places where
he could have checked the hard disk.

- What's happened to Borch?
- He's off the case. And Louise's mom?

Monika Hjelby lived by the yacht harbour.
I'm looking for a Birgit. About Borch...

Borch was taken off the case.
I don't know any more.

Was it down to you?

Were you pissed off
about what happened in Jutland?

Listen, I have no idea.

Then why the hell is his wife
sitting out there waiting to talk to you?

Hello.
Sarah Lund.

I'm on my way out,
so maybe you should have called.

He came home late last night.

He didn't come to bed.

I found him in the living room.

I thought it was the case that he was
so obsessed with, but it wasn't.

He says that he's in love
with someone else.

I assume that it's you.

Were you together
on that trip to Jutland?

Are you in love with him?

You may have been a couple once
and left things unfinished,

but we have two girls,
and he's their dad.

I want you to leave him alone.

Lund, let's go. The PM's department
has given us the green light.

We sympathise with you,
but we also have a business to run.

- Can we talk about this later?
- You can run it with good reason.

Uncertainty is spreading in the company.
We need to send out clear signals.

I'm asking you to drop the reins now
and let us appoint a managing director.

I have always counted on your support.
I can't accept Zeeland moving abroad.

- I'd reconsider in light of the press.
- We have a deal with the government.

Zeeland stays here.

The PM's department's
being investigated.

My managerial duties can be covered
by the other directors on the Board.

If that's not the case,
we've hired the wrong people.

Make sure it all works out.

I shall emphasise to Gilsfort,
that he is to leave you alone,

and communicate directly with me.

Is there anything else?

Emilie could be on board 15 freighters
and at six terminals around Europe.

How much is left to go?

Though we've paid, it's difficult
to get access to the last terminals.

Rotterdam, Hamburg, Stavanger
and St Petersburg.

The police can't step in.

I'll speak to the
shipping companies myself.

Have my plane prepared.

I'll go to Hamburg and Rotterdam.
You'll go to Stavanger and St Petersburg.

I didn't know that Benjamin
went to Jutland in the ministerial car.

My brother tried to spare our family.
I regret that. That's all I can say.

Your son took off in the car around
the time when a local girl disappeared.

She was raped and killed
in an old boat builder's yard.

- The PM is aware of the case, thank you.
- Your son was manic-depressive.

How was he feeling during the days
after the episode in Jutland?

- Anything out of the ordinary?
- Not that I can think of.

Were you in contact?
Did you speak?

Yes, of course I spoke to my son.

From time to time
he'd go into his own shell.

But neither my former wife or I
had noticed things getting worse.

- So you thought that he was depressive?
- He was depressive.

He had stopped taking his medicine,
and we found out too late.

Well, is there anything else?

We've looked into Benjamin's activities
in the weeks after the trip to Jutland.

His absence from school became marked,
he quit his part time job,

and according to his school friends,
was buying a lot of beer and spirits.

All symptoms that something was wrong -
and still you didn't find it unusual?

We assumed that it was his illness.
My former wife and I aren't doctors.

And I wasn't around much
at that time.

- Did he ever react like this before?
- The PM has already answered.

Benjamin had experienced something
that he couldn't live with.

The night before he disappeared,
he turned up at the psychiatric care unit.

He expressed deep anxiety
and asked to be admitted.

But staff informed him that as a minor,
he needed his parents consent.

Then he left, but he had repeatedly
told the psychiatrist on duty,

that "he had done something that
his father would never forgive him for".

The psychiatrist advised Benjamin
to go home and talk to his father.

Did he?

That particular evening
I came home very late.

I thought that everyone was asleep,

but Benjamin was awake,
and came downstairs to see me.

He asked if we could sit down
together in the kitchen for a while.

We hadn't done that for a long time...

...so it made me very happy.

He was struggling to express
the things he wanted to say,

and I was very tired.

In the end he said,
that it didn't really matter,

and then he went up to his room.

In the morning, I made breakfast
and went up to wake him...

...the bed was empty.
He was gone.

This may not mean anything.
He was often like that.

Unapproachable, restless.

If your son committed murder,
there'll still be traces in the car concerned.

Our technicians can find traces
that are several years old.

- He didn't do this. It's ridiculous.
- This is where it ends.

What did Benjamin say that night?
Did he confess or mention the girl?

Regardless of what Benjamin said,
it's trivial, because he's innocent.

The stolen hard drive was found
at an internet café 15 minutes ago.

It confirms that the ministerial car
was nowhere near the crime scene.

- What evidence do you have of that?
- The car's route is indicated here.

The car had GPS, and the information
was on the hard drive. I'm truly sorry.

We'll expect an apology. I trust
that you won't waste any more time.

What happened? Did you press him?
What did they say?

The ministerial car was nowhere near
the crime scene. The GPS proves it.

GPS? What GPS?

We have no trace of the perp
and no trace of Emilie. Nothing.

You're not giving up because of GPS.

- Did you ask about the boy?
- Yes, I did.

And If you doubt me,
feel free to go and ask yourself.

What about the perp?

Do you have the notebook?

We've checked all 13 black cars
from that day. There's nothing else.

Give me the notebook.

One of the owners is a lady who claims
her car wasn't in Jutland that day.

Maybe the boy got the date wrong.

Your wife stopped by today.

I don't want you to...

Don't ruin anything.

I'm standing outside the place
where we found the hard drive.

If the perp knows that the information
on it is useless, he won't be pleased.

I'll look for witnesses.

Birthe, who knew Monika Hjelby,
is at the harbour.

I've told her we'll stop by,
but I can't handle everything.

I'll borrow this one.

- I need to go now.
- The perp won't give up.

- And neither will you.
- I have to go now.

Did you see him by the computer?

Many people sit by the computers.
I don't know who they are.

He brought in a hard drive.

- Could anybody have seen him?
- What about the girl?

The perp was last seen here
an hour ago in a blue estate car.

Check if one has been reported stolen.
The man is injured and needs treatment.

Hospitals and casualty units.

- We're checking it all again.
- No, you'll wait for Special Branch.

- You gave the green light to go on TV.
- Now Special Branch sets the agenda.

You do as they say,
and get Sarah Lund under control.

Have her make coffee,
while I clean up your mess.

What are you looking at?
We'll keep going until we get it in writing.

The plane is ready.

I've informed the company
in Rotterdam of your arrival.

I'll go and visit Gilsfort
and then I'll go home to pack.

- Thanks, I appreciate that.
- Don't mention it.

Anette is staying in our house
in France with the girls.

I may as well be of some use.
I'll call you with any news.

Can I interrupt you for a moment?

We've been contacted
by a Swedish yachtsman.

I think he may have seen something.

We have him next door.

What did you see?

Four nights ago
I was out sailing in Øresund.

It was 3 o'clock at night and freezing cold
and I was sitting at the helm.

Suddenly I heard a motor boat
sailing by at high speed.

It didn't have any lights,
which I found a bit odd.

Shortly after, I passed a coaster,
and then I saw the motor boat.

It had berthed.

And then I saw a child
walking on board with a man.

Why did you come to us
instead of going to the police?

The police? I did try to contact them,
but I couldn't get through.

So you claim to have seen my daughter
while sailing Øresund on a yacht,

in 18-20 metres a second winds,
in the dark at three o'clock at night?

Yes.

Show this man out.

150 centimetres tall, 40 kilos.

Long blond hair.

Black trainers.

Blue rain clothes
and no life jacket.

I couldn't help seeing,
I was only 30-40 metres away.

They had a work lamp on,
so I could see clearly.

- I don't know If I should say this.
- What?

She appeared to be waving.

What was the name of the coaster?
What was the ship called?

I'd like to tell you but let's deal
with the practicalities first.

If you're telling me the truth,
you'll have the reward as promised.

I would appreciate it if I could
get some kind of guarantee,

in the form of a written contract,
and 2% of the reward up front, thanks.

We don't have any cash here.

I can wait.

I'll put it in motion right away.
Tell me more.

I'd rather wait.

Can I offer you anything?

Yes,
a cup of tea with milk, please.

Thanks.

Are you Birthe?

- Who's asking?
- Sarah Lund.

You knew Monika Hjelby,
Louise's mother.

I let a flat to her for ten years,
right up here.

Monika just turned up one day.

She was pregnant... and a bit posh.

She needed a place for three months,
but she ended up staying.

- Did you ever meet Louise's dad?
- No.

She went on about some guy,
but he never came.

Nothing new in that.

- Was she in contact with Louise's dad?
- No.

Did a man stop by at any time?

- Yes, someone came after she died.
- Who was that?

- He said he was an old acquaintance.
- What did he want?

He probably asked about Monika.

And...

I told him the truth.
She's resting at Amager Cemetery.

Did he ask about anything else?

No, I just told him that Louise
was in a children's home.

What did he look like?
Any particular characteristics?

I don't remember.
He was very ordinary.

He didn't seem to know that Monika
had a daughter. I never saw him again.

Hi, it's Eva Lauersen's midwife.

This is not a good time.

- Can you help me contact your son?
- Why?

Eva was brought in yesterday
with severe abdominal pains.

- She may give birth prematurely.
- Is it serious?

It's too early to say,
but we'd like to speak to Mark. Hello?

I'll try and get hold of him.

Thank you.
Goodbye.

I have to go. A colleague will come
and ask about the children's home.

All I know is that
it wasn't a council home.

- Monika had applied to a family fund.
- What family fund?

For some time before she died,
she could feel the end approaching.

She wanted to do
something good for Louise,

so I helped her write
a few applications.

We received a positive answer
from the Zeeland Children's Fund.

- She was very happy about it.
- What fund? Zeeland?

Yes, they help people like Monika,
who are on their own with a child.

The Zeuthen family may be filthy rich,
but I still feel sorry for them.

They've helped so many children,
and now they're dealing with this shit.

Thank you.

Voters need clarity on the government's
responsibility in the Zeuthen case.

We're neither responsible for the
financial crisis nor the kidnapping.

A crime was covered up. Does the PM
even want the truth to come out?

Would you turn that off?
Thank you.

I've just heard from Zeeland.
They seem to have confidence in us.

- They're still backing our crisis plan.
- Karen, that time in Jutland...

- Didn't you hear anything from Stoffer?
- No, he didn't tell me anything.

Why?

The police are right.

Benjamin did change after that.

I don't know
why I didn't notice.

Today, it's completely clear.

Isn't it always like that
with hindsight?

Don't worry about the police's
guesswork about Benjamin.

Kristoffer has told them
what happened.

You loved your son,
and I'm sure that he knew that.

I saw you on TV.
You did well with Ussing.

What happened in Jutland?

Something happened to Benjamin.
Tell me what it was.

Kristian, leave it alone.

What happened, damn it?

He called me from the bus station.
He was very upset.

- Did he do anything to the girl?
- No, but something had rattled him.

He drove around looking for you,
to cause trouble in front of the press.

He'd seen something
that he wanted to tell us about.

It was the usual left-wing nonsense,
that we were brown-nosing big business.

- Why didn't you sent him on to me?
- I wanted him to leave you alone.

He fucked things up for us.

You'd fought hard for that election,
and we couldn't let him ruin that.

- What did you do?
- He couldn't be around the microphones.

I put him on the bus back to Copenhagen
and told him to pull himself together.

He threatened to go to the press.
The boy was crazy.

What was it that he saw?

It was something about Karen.
She was in Zeeland's pocket.

She met secretly with them
behind your back.

What meetings?

Someone from Zeeland came,
and she had a meeting with him.

He didn't even know who it was.

The money is on its way.

Reinhardt asked me to tell you that
the meeting with the chairman went well.

- Where is he? I'd like to talk to him.
- He wants the money first.

We've checked him out.
Everything seems to be in order.

The police are here. Now we
can start questioning the witness.

- I don't believe I called the police.
- No, but we need to verify his story.

He described her blue rain clothes.

He couldn't have known about that.

We found the rain clothes at the place,
where she had a change of clothes.

- Where is he?
- He asked how to get to the basement.

- He was picking something up in his car.
- Close off the building.

Robert, what's happening?
Where is he?

- He went into one of our computers.
- We need reinforcements at Zeeland.

The perp may still be in the building.

- I was told you were here. I called.
- I'm on my way out the door.

We've sent you
the last personnel records.

I have a couple of urgent questions
about Zeeland's Children's Fund.

If we can do it
while I'm closing up...

The Children's Fund
is part of our CSR strategy.

We take on a social responsibility
and help the weakest in society.

We do good things for children
in several countries.

Why is this relevant?

Louise lived in a home called Majgården
sponsored by your children's fund.

- It was closed, there are no records.
- The fund must have had their reasons.

They want what's best for the children.
I need to catch a plane.

I think the perpetrator contacted
the children's home to see the girl.

There must be something in the old case.
Maybe even his name.

If your fund ran the home,
then they may have a copy of the case.

It's important. I need that case
if I'm to find Emilie Zeuthen.

- I'll see if I can find a contact person.
- Thanks.

- Yes.
- It's Borch.

We couldn't find the car

because the numbers
were written by a seven-year-old.

He's made a mistake.

He's reversed the first letter.

Instead of...

Instead of Z he's written S.

It's a licence plate,
we haven't checked yet.

And you won't believe this -

it's a Zeeland car.

According to the DMV
it belongs to Niels Reinhardt -

Robert Zeuthen's
personal assistant.

Do you hear me?

Niels Reinhardt
has been hiding behind Zeuthen,

and from the beginning he's known,
that he was the one we were after.

Here's a name and phone number.

Where are you? Sarah?

The head of the fund secretariat.
She may be able to help you.

Now, I really have to get out of here.

You knew about Majgården.

Or you've been there.

I'm the chairman of the fund.

I try to get out and wave the flag
as often as possible.

Did you know her?

Not that I remember.

Who is it?

Excuse me, it must be
an open window in the basement.

No, stay here.
