Mummy?

Mummy?

- Bisgaard?
- Where the hell are you?

- Bisgaard?
- Where the hell are you?

I've been calling for the last 20 minutes.

I've been calling for the last 20 minutes.

I'm at home.
I just had a shower.

I'm at home.
I just had a shower.

At home? Aha.

At home? Aha.

I just spoke to Molbeck
There has been a double murder.

I just spoke to Molbeck
There has been a double murder.

- All right. I'm on my way.
- And Katrine...

- All right. I'm on my way.
- And Katrine...

Molbeck will lead the case. You will
assist. I don't think you're ready.

Molbeck will lead the case. You will
assist. I don't think you're ready.

- Okay? Are you still there?
- Yes.

- Okay? Are you still there?
- Yes.

Actually, that's not okay, Bisgaard.
You can 't promote me and then...

Actually, that's not okay, Bisgaard.
You can't promote me and then...

- I am ready.
- If you say so...

- I am ready.
- If you say so...

Molbeck will assist.
I'll send you the address.

Molbeck will assist.
I'll send you the address.

It's a mother and her son,
Julie and Konrad Reinholt.

- And the father?
- No trace of him since Thursday.

- We'll talk to neighbours and family.
- Bisgaard wants me to lead this case.

Yes.

- How old is the boy?
- He turns nine tomorrow.

The livor is fixed,
and rigor mortis fully developed.

The time of death occurred
at least 14 hours ago.

The woman was lying on her stomach
when she had her throat cut.

It's a firm, steady cut.

In many cases
the victim has to bleed to death.

The killer started at the ear
and cut the carotid artery.

The boy must have fought back.
He has broken a nail.

With any luck, we'll get some skin
if we scrape the other nails.

It could seem that the boy
had his neck cut in the bath tub.

The killer then carried him in here
in this duvet.

There are no signs of forced entry,
so they must have let him in.

Who found them?

- What were you doing at your sister's?
- Preparing Konrad's birthday.

We were planning a treasure hunt.

- You haven't found Kasper, have you?
- No.

- It's him, isn't it?
- Fie, it's too early to say.

Julie really believed
that he went fishing every Thursday.

He never caught anything.
He has always been such a liar.

Have you ever heard them mention
where Kasper went fishing?

What am I to tell our mother?

Katrine isn't ready to lead the case.
She's not too stable at the moment.

I don't think she has spent any time
at home since the attack.

- Working helps her overcome problems.
- Last time she shot the killer.

Not that I want to tell you
how to run your job.

- Well, you're not, are you?
- No.

She's just not the type
who gets on with things.

She switches off.
She needs a break.

- Are you trying to take over?
- Why don't you take over?

- I chose her. She can switch off.
- Molbeck.

- Any news on the father?
- We're still working on it.

Can I borrow you for a second?

I am not angling for anything.
I have en eight-year-old at home.

The door is open!

I'll go round the back.

- What are you doing here?
- He liked sitting here.

- Do you live nearby?
- Overview.

You'd better come with me.

Okay? Hey. Hey!
It's this way.

- Yes?
- Regarding Schaeffer...

We talked about offering him a
permanent position. He's not interested.

I just assured Molbeck
that you're ready for this. Are you?

He... He...
He is a good colleague.

He has a family, too, so he's
concerned about this case. And you.

Sure.

Okay. Good.

Make sure to get everyone
on your team. And keep cool.

You won't get far,
if you can't keep a clear head.

Every time you screw up,
it falls back on me.

What is your greatest concern :
Your career or my well-being?

- Why, my career!
- Good. As long as we agree on this.

Instead of Thomas Schaeffer, we have
forensic psychiatrist Frank Moland.

- From Norway. He should be excellent.
- Norway! That will be expensive.

Thomas Schaeffer has been arrested.

- Hi, Schaeffer.
- Why so certain that the father did it?

Apologies. I'm very sorry about that.

I thought he was some nosy eccentric.

Well, he is in a way.
What made you change your mind?

I have the time for it.

Nothing is certain,
but we think it's the father.

Whoever was eating with them
held the murder weapon, too.

But he has vanished into thin air.

It's quite a mental leap. First eating
with them, then killing them.

A sudden, explosive anger.

He must have known them.
Is that yours?

- How do you know he knew them?
- He was eating with them.

Maybe it's a friend of the family.

The murder weapon
was a kitchen knife.

It was missing in the knife block.
We found it under the bed.

Under the bed?

He must have changed his mind.
He isn't trying to hide it.

It's the same story with the faces:
Depersonalization.

- Why not the father?
- He had sex with the mother.

An angry father wouldn't do that.

We need a search for Kasper Reinholt
in the southern harbour area.

- We've been there. Nothing.
- We need the divers.

I think he's at the bottom of the canal.

It's good to have you back, Thomas.

- Are these the woman's clothes?
- Yes.

Aren't you going home?

The way he kills them is our key.

He drags it out.
He really hates them.

Yes, most probably.

I just wanted to say
that the incident with Katrine...

Nice work. You saved her life,
most likely. Thank you.

I could have prevented it
back then, five years ago.

If they had allowed me
to finish the treatment.

Then why didn't you?

We were on a rota system.
We have to by law.

And of course he was discharged
prematurely and forgot taking his pills.

- It's all about money.
- Are you trying to apologize?

No, I'm trying to explain
that the system doesn't work.

"The system"? He was a psychopath.
We had him locked away for good.

It was right. Then you recommend
sentencing him to psychiatric care.

- After which he kills three people.
- He got the wrong kind of care.

It wouldn't have happened,
if he had been locked up.

The man was not a psychopath.
He was psychotic. That's different.

Kasper Reinholt, 42 years old,
found in the southern harbour area.

The cause of death is pulmonary oedema -

- helped along
by a blow on the back of his head.

The blow was not lethal,
it just knocked him unconscious.

But then he had
a 10 kg concrete block tied to his leg.

- You can see the marks here.
- We assume he drove there by car.

- Which the killer then drove back?
- He probably had the man's keys.

That means she has been with the killer
from Thursday to Saturday.

- That's a long time.
- That's a very long time.

- Were they not married?
- Yes. Why?

Where's the wedding ring?

Wait a second...
I've seen this before.

The Teglg?rd case. He went bankrupt,
but the wife didn't know.

She arranged this big party
the weekend after the murder.

Wife and kid were lying dead
in the bedroom. After killing them -

- he went into the basement to kill
himself. The wedding ring was missing.

It's the same guy.
The ritual is identical.

The man dies by himself.
The wife and kids die in the bedroom.

The missing wedding ring.
Maybe it's his trophy.

So the killer made it look
as if the father committed suicide?

Mia will cross-check fingerprints and
DNA. If they match, it's the same guy.

- Who was leading this investigation?
- Kim Jensen.

Okay, he'll get the sack.

Find all possible connections.
Check everything.

Job, shopping habits, hobbies...
any link between these two families.

- You bet I'll check.
- Thank you.

Good God.
He executes families.

- And this?
- There's not a lot there.

Only that both women's workplaces
used the same catering firm.

That's too weak.
Don't we have something else?

I would check it, if I were you.
Can't you stop by on your way back?

Yes, of course.

- Anything else?
- There's a babysitter.

One family's babysitter, the other
family's kindergarten assistant.

She lived in Australia
for three years, so...

Good. Then begin with the catering firm.

Promise me not to skip anything.

I've been working 16 hours non-stop.
I have to prioritize.

But you can't decide if things
are a lead or not just like that.

Save your gut feeling for your
choice of balloon at the fun fair.

We do things thoroughly. You're
a police officer, not a fortune teller.

- I'm a police officer ess.
- There's no such thing.

Thanks.

- I thought you went home long ago.
- Well, I stuck around.

Don't you like being at home?

He's gone, Katrine.
He's dead. You shot him.

There's peace and quiet here.
I need that to be able to concentrate.

Relax.

I understand.

And you? Why are you not
at home with your family?

Same reason:
There's peace and quiet here.

There is a trick against fear.

Imagine being next to the one person,
who makes you feel really safe.

When you're with that person,
nothing bad can happen to you.

It may work.

But it's just a trick.

- What's that?
- Receipts from Charlottenlund.

- But I...
- These are from Frederiksberg.

- Now we're rolling. New bathroom?
- No.

- Painted the house three years ago?
- The house? Nope.

- I have... Yoga.
- They had something...

Sports... Pilates in S?ller?d.

A terrace,
made by Frederik N?rl?v?

Frederik N?rl?v... No.
Hotel Astor in Dubai.

- Hotel Acropolis in Athens.
- New car. New heating system.

- What did you say? After new car?
- New heating system.

They had a new one in Frederiksberg
two years ago.

The electrician's name
was Johnny M?ller.

Same here.

He has been in both homes.

- Sora?
- What is it?

- Who is it?
- I don't know. Put that in the kitchen.

- Who is it?
- I'll tell you when I open the door.

Johnny M?ller.
You had problems with your pump.

- Oh yes, I totally forgot.
- That was about time!

It's in the basement.

- He's just doing his job.
- Obviously, he isn't!

Hi, it's me again.

- Did you get any sleep?
- Uhuh.

It wasn't the same catering firm.

Well, same name and location,
but new owner and employees.

It felt strange leaving Karina
and the boys this morning.

I think we're dealing
with a high society murderer.

With your salary
there's nothing to worry about.

- I guess...
- Wait a minute.

That's him.

Are you Johnny M?ller?

Stop! Police!

Turn around!

- Do you happen to have a coke?
- Do you happen to have a low IQ?

Why did you run, Johnny?

You were divorced when your son was
three years old and you were in prison.

You were losing your family, and there
was nothing you could do about it.

- Does that make you angry with your ex?
- Ask her.

The prosecutor already did that.
You broke into your ex-wife's new house.

Have you got a low IQ?
It's all there. Why are you asking me?

It says you're charged
with abducting your boy.

I took him to the fun fair.
The boy needs his father.

Are you looking
for a new family, Johnny?

Two families. The mothers
and children had their throats cut.

One father was shot,
the other dumped into the harbour.

You've knocked down Tom, Dick,
and Harry. You've been in both homes.

You have no alibi and your car was
seen near both crime scenes.

Do you realize
how bad your situation is?

This is the work of a fucking psycho.

- Why did you run, Johnny?
- Why do I have to look at this shit?

I have nothing to do with the photos.
You know that.

- Whore.
- What did you say?

15 months ago you broke
into the home of your ex-wife.

No doubt she wanted this home
to get away from you.

Then you broke her nose,
her arm and even her hip.

You don't know my ex.

How do you break a woman's hip?
By jumping on her?

By jumping until she cries in pain?

By kicking her so she can't get up?
Or by throwing her?

- While your little boy was watching!
- Let me show you how I did it.

What the hell is it
that you don't understand, Johnny?

Keep away from your ex.
Do you understand?

- Are you charging me with this?
- You're not charged with anything.

- I will charge you. With everything.
- Then I want a lawyer. Now!

Will you be driving me home,
when my lawyer gets me out?

- Hi there.
- Hi.

It's not Johnny M?ller. Our guy knows
how to relieve his feelings.

Johnny doesn't.
His feelings are pent-up.

Same type:
Maternal, beautiful, rich.

What's that?

It's Johnny M?ller's.
But I can't access it.

However, it seems that I can access
the hard disk of his laptop.

He even tried to hide it very carefully.

What the hell happened there?

- It's not him.
- Why are you charging him then?

He is the only connection
between the two families.

- And he is hiding something.
- What does Schaeffer make of it?

- Schaeffer?
- Yes, what does he make of it?

- Schaeffer wrote him off straight away.
- But you didn't listen?

So what the hell happened there?

- I let myself get provoked.
- But that's rule number one!

If you charge him now,
he'll shut up like a clam.

If you can't handle the responsibility,
I'll give the case to someone else.

- You were quite nice about that.
- Yes... Sometimes...

Sometimes I'm actually
quite nice about things.

- I could have discussed it with you.
- Yes, you could.

So... what now?

- I'll let him go.
- Yes...

Katrine?

You have photos of 100 homes
including those of the two families.

If you feel like spilling the beans,
this is a good time to do so.

It's work-related.
The photos help improve the piping.

Help improve the piping?

Okay, I get it.
Might the plan be to place the pipes -

- from the Arne Jacobsen chair over
the B&O TV through the rocking chair -

- and finally up the arse
of the Le Corbusier sofa?

Do people appreciate the pipework?

Do they think you're good at your job?

Do they enjoy watching telly
with a heating pipe up their bums?

- Or do you insulate the pipe first?
- Do you know what I think?

I think that all these addresses
have been burgled -

- and that a lot of the stolen goods are
on these photos. Feel like talking now?

It was my catalogue. This way
my clients could order what they wanted.

- Flat screens, designer furniture, etc.
- Did anyone else have the photos?

No. Nobody.
I was just showing them to people.

But I had a laptop with all the photos.
It was stolen two years ago.

- From where?
- A fitness centre.

Molbeck, will you check that?

These are the photos from Johnny
M?ller's computer. 100 families.

- Our next victim is in there.
- 100 families?

- Give me two-three days.
- I need it tomorrow.

I'll see what I can do.

Christian?

Christian?
Aren't you coming down soon?

Christian?

Hello?

HOMICIDE DEPARTMENT

It's all the families
from M?ller's file.

Has he said anything else?
The killer could be one of his clients.

We're looking into that. The killer
might have contacted other families.

I thought of asking the uniformed police
to ring some doorbells.

I know it's a far shot, but maybe
someone has noticed something odd.

So is that underway?

- I wanted to ask you first.
- Sure, but it's underway, right?

That's fine.

Does Schaeffer reckon
that he will strike again?

It's a matter of time, isn't it?
I'll talk to Schaeffer.

Molbeck will pay
the fitness centre a call.

This is more down to luck than skill.

You made an ass of yourself, but Mia
saved your arse by finding those photos.

In future, please keep your feelings
out of the interrogation room. Okay?

I don't think we need to worry.
She was quite sharp.

- It was I who...
- She's extremely good.

She just needs to be kept
on a short leash sometimes.

Obviously, she doesn't have your
expertise, experience and composure.

That's why I put you two together.
You can control her.

Are you not busy?

Yes.

Benedicte?
Katrine. We met a couple of weeks ago.

Oh yes.
Don't worry. He will accept.

Working for you, that is.

Has he already accepted?

Not knowing that means that we have
drifted a little bit further apart.

I have moved out
and we're getting separated.

Enjoy your work!

- Thomas?
- Hi.

- She's had enough.
- What about Johan?

He will live with Benedicte
at her parents.'

I suggested moving, but he loves it
there, so it's probably better that way.

Then we'll take it from there.

The world is changing.

Assuming our killer has used
these photos -

- we know that he picks
homes of well-off people.

That brings us down to 33.

But he operates
with some aesthetic requirements, too.

He wants designer homes,
fancy furniture. Then we're at 16.

- Same age as the other victims?
- Exactly.

That would bring us down to 11
... if they all had kids.

It has to be dad, mum and kids.
How many have we got left then?

- Four.
- I just don't know why he's doing it.

Yet.

Solbakken in Holte, Taarb?k Strandvej,
S?vej in S?ller?d and Bernstorffsvej.

Forget about the others.
It's just these four.

There was no one in in S?ller?d. We're
off to Taarb?k, Bernsdoffsvej and Holte.

- Make sure they know that...
- It's her.

Same type: Maternal, upper class.
And the most beautiful.

- Are you sure that no one was in?
- The door was locked. There was no car.

- That's her.
- Go back to S?ller?d at once.

Don't make yourselves known.
We're on our way.

Hi there.
You're so pretty.

See. Us two. You and me.

Us three, right?
As it should be.

That's Christians ring.
Where's Christian?

I will look after you.
I will look after all of us.

Hello.
I'm sorry, but I noticed your car.

I thought they were away on holiday.

No, I'm house-sitting...
with my wife and daughter -

- while Frederik
and Majken are in London.

Is it you?
I haven't seen you in ages!

So you've got your own family now?
How lovely.

- Do come and see us one day.
- Yes...

Over there?

Bye.

- The basement is all clear.
- Kitchen and living room all clear.

Up here!

- We found Christian Lorch.
- Get a doctor. He's alive.

Mother and daughter are gone.
He must have taken them somewhere else.

It's not working out
between the two of us.

He was wearing dark clothes.

Black gloves.

I didn't see his face.

Do you recall anything else?

When I woke up,
he was tying me up.

The he put a hood over my head.

And hit me.

Does anybody else have a key to your
house? The cleaning lady or neighbours?

Does your car have a GPS tracker?

Do you normally wear your wedding ring?

Yes?

Do you think, that dad will find us?

Sora?

I think that the man thinks
we're someone else.

- Why?
- I don't know, honey.

But if we do as he says,
nothing will happen.

Do as he says.
And pretend not to be frightened.

"Until death do us part."

He puts on the husband's wedding ring.
And after that...

He's not driven by hatred. If that was
the case, they would all be dead.

He finds the right family.
The he gets rid of the father -

- and "marries" the mother.
From there it's until death do us part.

- Does he play house?
- He has developed the game.

In the Teglgaard case
he killed the man in the house.

The mother reacted,
and the illusion was shattered.

Then he behaved like a sulky child
and killed them all.

Next family. What has he learned?
Bad idea to kill the father at home.

So the father is killed whilst fishing.
But that's no good either -

- because mum still reacts
when she realizes that dad is dead.

- Isn't that obvious?
- The man's stark raving insane.

Where's my husband?

I'm sorry.

He used to kill the father,
but then the mother didn't play along.

So he has come up with something new.

"If I keep dad alive
and use him to exert pressure on mum -

- then she plays along
for a bit longer."

Which explains
why Christian Lorch is still alive.

The question is
what triggered all this?

Maybe he used to be part
of a good family and wants it back.

Maybe he's trying to recreate
... the perfect family.

So if we find
"the perfect family" -

- maybe we'll find him?

If not, Andrea Lorch
and her daughter will die.

Yes, when the illusion is shattered
and they stop playing along.

- We need to go back to that villa.
- Is Mia out there?

Yes.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I need your report asap.

He plays house.

He attacks them in their homes and cuts
their throats when they stop playing.

And some people are afraid
of walking in the streets at night.

It's more dangerous staying at home.

You're welcome to stay at my place
for a few days?

- So staying at Homicide is cooler?
- Mia?

That man needs a bell round his neck!

This drawing from the villa...
How do you know the date?

- Anders will know. Why?
- Because...

This is the same boy
one year earlier.

He's good at drawing and makes this.
On that date.

What is it with that date?

He drew this
while the killer was in the house.

I want you to make a drawing for me.

The skin colour never looks
like real skin colour.

- What do you want me to draw?
- Just what you normally draw.

- I don't draw much.
- What do you mean?

Just do it, Sora.

Here!

No... What's wrong with you?

What kind of a drawing is that?

Why can't you just make
a proper drawing?

What are you doing?

I've made you a drawing.

Mummy?

It's very nice.

They're happy.

They're happy. We're happy.

Hello?

Daddy!

God, I've missed you!

- Are you doing okay?
- Yes, thanks.

- Are there children involved?
- Yes.

Is it better if Johan is
with my parents today?

- I don't want to.
- Okay. See you tomorrow.

- Take care.
- You too.

Was it nice at gran's house?
What have you been up to?

- We went to Tivoli and...
- Did you go to Tivoli?

- What are you drawing?
- A police car.

Johan, will you do your dad a favour?

Try drawing you, mum and dad
having a nice time.

- No, I'm drawing a police car.
- I know, but please try.

- Please do what dad tells you.
- Okay...

The three of us having a nice time.

I'm over here. Like that...

That's it. Done.

What's up?

The fitness centre hasn't got records
from the date of the laptop theft.

However...

... they have registration photos.

- Is that legal, Molbeck?
- Today it is.

One of these people has stolen
the computer. That's our killer.

Here's name, address and date of birth.
There are 1800 members.

- 1/3 are women.
- He has got dark hair.

- That narrows it down further.
- Did you brief Schaeffer?

I want to talk to someone
who knows something!

I just want to talk to someone
who can give me some answers!

- Take him to the chair.
- Let go of me!

Hello. Magnus Bisgaard.
I can answer your questions.

Please come with me.

It's the father.

Fuck.

Police is asking the public for help
in the case of Andrea and Sora Lorch -

- who were kidnapped from their
north Copenhagen home last night.

Police need information
about the perpetrator's movements.

Apparently, the kidnapper tried
to kill Andrea Lorch 's husband.

35-year-old Andrea Lorch and her
daughter were kidnapped last night.

We believe
their lives are in danger.

If anybody has seen them
or the car, a black Audi A6 -

- or has any other information
which may help the investigation...

You're my family.
Up!

Thomas? Me again. Where are you?
Please call back.

Listen.
Christian Lorch...

- All done.
- Okay?

- Sorry.
- Not to worry.

Lorch has come up with some
more details. Being a jewellery dealer -

- he noticed the man's watch : An
Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Apollo 11.

The guys who did the moon landing
were wearing that.

I guess you don't remember.
You weren't born yet.

Well, somebody
in the fitness centre remembers.

- You checked up on the fitness centre?
- Of course. It's a lead.

The staff didn't recall which member.
There's such a constant flow of people.

Many members quit after a few times.

But one of them remembered the watch.
He always wanted one himself.

The owner had bragged that he had
purchased it for his own 30th birthday.

- So the killer is 30 years old?
- Exactly.

- That narrows down the field.
- Yes, indeed.

- Nice work, Bisgaard.
- Are you living here now?

You know it's not a tenable solution,
don't you?

- Yes.
- Catch the monster, so you can go home.

This is a workplace, not a dormitory.

We found quite a few drawings.
We're not sure if they're important.

Regarding the date,
Anders found this newspaper.

The marks from the crayons
match the drawing you showed me.

So the date of the drawing is the day
the killer was in the house.

- is this crayon, too?
- Yes.

Where's the drawing that matches this?

Right, I have some more.

- What are you doing?
- We're looking at drawings.

Here you go.

Good God!
He drew the killer. It's this one.

We need the photos
from the fitness centre!

So we'll just look for a purple man
with very thin arms and legs?

He made him draw
That's why it's so childish.

Dad, mum and kids,
and he's the dad.

This one was good at drawing and got
all the details. The man is bald.

Has one of them got a gap
between the front teeth?

- What is he doing?
- I don't know.

Maybe he wanted to get the gun?

Hello again. I saw your daughter
in the window and thought...

- Do you live alone over there?
- Yes... Yes.

I have to go down
so the lady can see that we're here -

- and knows that something is wrong.
You stay here, honey.

I just thought
you might want to come over.

You don't see...

My goodness...

What are you doing?

I look out for us.
We're family now.

We're not your family!

We'll never be your family!
Never!

Get out. Now.
Police!

- Is Lars Werner in the flat?
- No.

Where is he?

Where is Lars Werner?

He's always with his fianc?e,
never with his mother.

Floor all clear!

Your son has been hospitalized
a few times.

- Has he got a problem with reality?
- He sorts mail at the post office.

He's one of the best.

- Where's his father?
- He has no father.

I've never been with a man.
In that way.

- I'm not like that.
- Thank you.

I think we have the right guy.

- Do you think that's his fianc?e?
- No, but she's the right type.

Have a look at this.
He records them.

Probably when he has decided
that they're going to die.

She's the key. He adores her.
She's the object of his fantasies.

We have no idea who she is
but we're turning every stone.

Then turn some more.
Hey, stop! Is it her?

Yes.

I know who she is.
It's Majken Forn?.

The Fraud Squad were chasing
her husband. They live in London.

- Thomas.
- Hi, Benedicte.

- Why don't you answer your phone?
- I don't know where it is.

Well, you can't sign
via telephone anyway.

- It's the paperwork.
- Right, the separation order.

- Johan and I will come by on Saturday.
- How is he?

- He's fine.
- And are you alright?

Yes...

You have taken off your ring.

- It's not signed yet.
- Thomas?

Sorry. We have a video link
to Frederik Forn? in London.

Bye.

This is Thomas Schaeffer, consultant.
He will be present during the interview.

When did you last
have contact with Lars Werner?

Let's see... It's about 4-5 years ago.
He was working for me.

Do you have any idea
where we might find him?

Maybe with that mother of his, who...

- So he was working for you?
- Yes, until I had to fire him.

He began social...
a job activation programme.

- How would you describe him?
- He was a poor, confused chap.

Under ordinary circumstances...
He worked hard and...

He was the sort of person
that you take under your wing.

My wife and daughter were often at home,
so he dealt with all the nuts and bolts.

The house needs some looking after
even though it's only used twice a year.

- Did he become part of the family?
- He certainly would have liked to.

What went wrong?

My wife felt he crossed her boundaries.

She felt increasingly intimidated.

- By what?
- He wanted to embrace her.

Kiss her and... Really, I fail to see
that I have done anything wrong.

Hi, Bisgaard here. I have a question
about that house he was taking care of.

- Was that a property outside London?
- No, in Denmark.

- He was the caretaker there.
- What place was that?

Our house in Strandvejen.
He took care of it when we were abroad.

491 Strandvejen in Charlottenlund.
Action Squad, negotiator and two cars!

Approach from the north,
so he won't see you. We're leaving now!

Where do you want me to go?

Can I have a shower first?

Are you done?

- You're staying here.
- Run, Sora! Run!

- Run!
- Stay here, Sora.

No!

Sora?

- He has a gun!
- Get down!

Lars Werner?

Get into your cars and leave. Now!
I have a gun.

If you try to get in, I'll kill her.

He'll kill her no matter what.
Get her now.

We need a dialogue.
Where's the negotiator?

The game's over. There's nothing
to negotiate. He'll kill her!

They're on their way.
He wasn't supposed to see us.

You and I can get your mother out.
Will you help me?

Are these the keys to the house?

Own safety first. We'll try to talk
to him when the Action Squad is here.

Where's the girl?
Where's Thomas?

Thomas?

Get down on your knees.

Call him dad
and ask him not to do it, okay?

- It's not working out between us.
- Dad?

- What?
- Dad, please don't hurt mum.

- Lars?
- Yes.

Hi! I saw your daughter
and thought I'd better bring her home.

Sora, come here.

I'm not police.
No weapons.

Keep your hands where I can see them.
Keep them over your head.

Don't you recognize me?

- I...
- Hands over your head!

I recognize you from back then.
I knew Frederik's wife.

- Who are you?
- Thomas.

I know Majken.
From the time when you all lived here.

- You know Majken?
- Yes. Very well, actually.

I feel as if I know you, too.
She has told me so much about you.

- Did she talk about me?
- She was so fond of you.

Do you know
how much you meant to her?

She felt things had come
to an end between her and Frederik.

Then you came along... and she
lightened up like... She loved you.

She wrote you letters. Lots.

- I haven't had any letters.
- She didn't know where you were.

You were gone.

- But she hid them here.
- Where?

Downstairs in the chest of drawers.

They're for you. They're right here.

Come!

Lars... Lars, it's over.

What the hell were you thinking?
Bisgaard is right: You're crazy.

The alternative was
a dead killer and an orphan.

What if something had happened
to the girl?

We're not telling this to anyone.
The girl walked back herself, okay?

If you do that again, I'll shoot you myself.

- Have a safe journey home!
- You too.

Hi.

It's an air mattress from Germany.
It was just collecting dust so...

It's self-inflatable.
There's a plug here.

Look, here's the plug.
It's fully inflated in...

... 2,5 minutes.

Well... thank you.

- Nice work.
- Thanks.

But only until tomorrow.
I don't want any mess around here.

Of course.

The End
