Those Who Kill (2011–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Utopia, del 1 - full transcript
-It's incredible...
- What?
We lock up the bastards,
and yet they continue.
- What's with you?
- I'm not crazy about prisons.
Mia has started, but they're not keen
to have us. Don't expect the red carpet.
This is J?rgen Schmidt. He is
head of the department we're visiting.
Any telephones?
It's okay.
We have three departments
with four wings.
Each wing has communal showers,
kitchen and fitness facilities.
- We're going to the B wing. It's rough.
- Rough?
We have all the rapists and killers.
He has emptied his bowels.
- How old is he?
- He just turned 18.
- Have the relatives been informed?
- There are no relatives.
He arrived from Uganda
as an illegal immigrant.
Before ending up here he was under the
care of the child welfare authorities.
- If you can call it care...
- The kid was doing time for murder.
Violence resulting in death.
Has the "kid" got a name?
Kabaka Mutesa.
He called himself Kaba.
I thought they would leave him alone
as long as he offered his arse to them.
There are many ways
to tackle prison life.
- Did you know of these sexual assaults?
- He was a cynical bastard.
He was totally in control.
I need a copy
of all reports, routines and rules.
I want to know how a young man
can get killed in a Danish prison.
Katrine? He died between 11 p.m.
and 6 a.m. The victim was killed here.
- Don't you lock them up at night?
- Yes, between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.
- Who locked them up last night?
- I did.
Would you please wait outside
and make sure we're not disturbed?
This is a display.
He was placed in the middle
for the spectator to see him upon entry.
And for maximum effect.
- What's that sound?
- The prisoners want to get out.
Get him inside.
- Everything's under control.
- Okay.
The anus has injuries from a dumb bell
and there was semen in the rectum.
Whatever was left of it.
The victim was anaesthetized -
- but he must have regained conscience
because he tried to get away.
You can see the rope marks here.
His palms and soles are badly bruised,
but the rest of the body is untouched.
No other bruises, except at the temple.
The victim was hit with a blunt object.
This killed him.
- The violence seems very controlled.
- His rectum is almost ripped apart!
Apart from that it's just hands and feet.
It's a message to those who knew him.
Good.
But how did he get out of his cell?
Are you sure Kaba was in his cell
when you locked the door?
Are you sure Kaba was in his cell
when you locked the door?
- Have you got any milk?
- So you last saw him at 10 p.m.?
And you didn't see him again until
he was found. We're out of milk. Sorry.
He wasn't let out
to go to the toilet or something?
No.
But somehow he was in the fitness room.
So you had the milk.
Did you or other members of staff
make use of Kaba's services?
Who else, apart from you,
could have let out Kaba that night?
You've got the list of staff on duty.
Some of our own people are there
to keep an eye on the permanent staff.
Do you think we could be
a bit more cautious?
I'm running an investigation, Bisgaard.
Let's be high-handed
when we have something substantial.
Until then,
let's be discrete and diplomatic.
- But...
- No buts, please.
We're not wanted there,
especially by the staff.
It's a state within the state with their
own rules, so let's keep a low profile.
In theory, all the prison officers
could have killed Kaba.
In theory, yes.
In theory.
I know you're doing your job,
but try to be less heavy-handed.
Right. Have we got anything?
A violent attack on Rasmus Mikkelsen
in 1996. Charge, but no verdict.
Carl Eriksen keeps switching jobs.
He has been there for two months.
Several charges against J?rgen Schmidt:
Harassment and violent incidents.
One of them led to a warning.
Nothing else.
- How about Jelena Sikovic?
- She's here now.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
- Those are Kaba's things, right?
- Yes.
They are being examined.
Were you his contact person?
Not that there was much contact.
He kept to himself.
- These?
- To complete upper secondary school.
- Would that have been realistic?
- Yes, with some help from Frederik.
- Frederik?
- Yes, Frederik Herning.
What did Herning get in return?
Quite a bit. But he financed
Kaba's stay in prison.
Did Kaba sell sex to Herning?
- They seem to know no limits.
- "They"?
- Child soldiers.
- Was Kaba a child soldier?
He was always bragging
about his child soldier stories.
Were you on duty when it happened?
I was helping our psychologist
tidying up the archive.
Why did you come here?
Why are some cells open at night?
I'll do everything I can
to keep your name confidential.
- I risk losing my job.
- You risk that no matter what.
Who says I'm not locking the cells?
You're not asking the questions here.
She is.
Sometimes I am. Not you.
Do you realize that the murder
could have been avoided?
Don't you get it?
Nobody follows the rules 100 %?
We don't and neither do you.
One has to give prisoners something
they fear losing again. That's how it is.
If they have nothing to lose,
they go berserk.
We just need a list of those prisoners
whose door was open last night.
You may start a fire
that you can't put out again.
If you don't cooperate we'll charge you
with misconduct. Start writing!
Start writing!
We need to talk to the prisoners
on the list. Are you in charge of that?
Yes, Schmidt specifically wanted me.
He doesn't want to risk anything.
Boys, hands where I can see them!
Whoa!
Max. Max. Come here.
- Yes, yes. Relax.
- Get into your cell.
- Who's the guy at the back?
- Martin H?eg, prisoner spokesman.
- Let's start with Max.
- I want to see the crime scene again.
H?gh, get back to your cell.
You, too, Herning.
Did you leave your cell
during the night?
- How did you know Kaba?
- Like an arsehole.
Did you have sex with him?
What about yourself? Are you into
doggy style or are you more into pussy?
They say
there's many lesbian policewomen.
What was your relationship
with Herning like?
- What's it to you?
- Answer the question.
You look like you know these things.
I have the right to shut up, don't I?
- This area is sealed off.
- Dr. Schaeffer.
I can't believe you're dealing
with a banal prison row.
What makes you think it's banal?
Human emotions are always banal.
- You knew Kaba, right?
- Yes.
- We all knew Kaba.
- Do I know you?
I was doing time with your brother from
'91 to '93. Before he was transferred.
How is he? Poul.
I think Max makes them shut up.
I'll talk to the psychologist now.
And I'll add the interview
with Max to the report.
Bisgaard wants
a press briefing later today.
- Drugs?
- You need to register here.
Racism?
You never called back.
I was actually very disappointed.
How about a cup of coffee?
There. We've had our cup of coffee.
I meant it when I said
it was a one-nighter.
What's the relationship
between Max and Herning?
Herning is paying Max protection money.
If not, he might have done time
in solitary confinement.
- What do you make of him?
- Herning is not a typical paedophile.
- He's only attracted to adolescents.
- Which treatment did he get?
Private interviews,
group therapy and role-playing -
- to develop his understanding
of the victim. With good results.
But no matter what,
Herning has abused Kaba.
You might ask yourself who abused who?
Kaba seemed to cynically exploit
Herning's weakness.
Do you think Herning was capable of the
type of violence Kaba was subjected to?
Most people in here suffer from
such fundamental personality disorders -
- that they're capable of anything.
What can you tell us about Martin H?eg?
I told you to leave him alone!
- Didn't I?
- Everyone knows Herning did it.
Is it so hard to understand?
Leave him alone!
Why did they shout:
"Everyone knows Herning did it"?
I don't know.
- Has it got anything to do with Kaba?
- I don't know. They're all idiots.
I helped him with his homework.
That's not illegal, is it?
You helped him?
But it was not for free, was it?
Give and take, right? Did you
help one of your former pupils, too?
The one that got you
a sexual offence charge. Andreas.
13 years old. His grades got better,
and you got what you wanted.
Until he didn't want to anymore.
What was it you did then?
What was it you did to him?
Did he scream when you raped him?
What we had was beautiful.
"Beautiful"?
We found semen inside Kaba.
Enough for a clear DNA profile.
Something tells me
that it will match yours.
I cared about him.
We had a relationship.
- Did you rape him that night?
- No... No.
We were together.
But not in the fitness room.
We were in his cell.
It's true that we had a row.
Some of the others probably heard it.
I wanted him to stop selling himself
to the others.
No, you wanted to rape him in peace.
You had to be the only one, didn't you?
Have you got a minute?
- Yes?
- Maybe I should talk to him, too.
This is an interview with a suspect.
It's outside your field, Thomas.
You're not winning his confidence.
He just lost his only friend.
If they hear that we treat them like
this, we won't get anything out of them.
Let Molbeck do it. Give it a try.
- Fine.
- Thanks.
It must be difficult with a relationship
to someone who's for sale?
It certainly wasn't necessary.
I have enough money.
Did he make a fool of you?
Yes.
He called me a pervert
and wanted twice the amount.
And what did you do then?
- I paid.
- Before or after abusing him?
- As said, we had a relationship.
- Stop calling it that!
- Of course I didn't kill him.
- He was just a boy and you abused him!
It went out of hand. You couldn't handle
his lack of response. Look at it!
Have a real good look!
You couldn't stand it, could you?
You had to kill him to keep the illusion
that he loved you. Look at it!
Katrine!
Do you know what I think?
I think he detested you.
Please help me!
Can you say something so I don't have
to go back to the B wing?
Can you?
No.
- He isn't self-confident enough.
- Enough to call child rape "beautiful."
We have a DNA match.
The semen belongs to Herning.
- Oh, how he "broke down" in there.
- They had a relationship.
He'll talk tomorrow.
You'll have to control yourself!
- But I hit a weak point.
- Did you now? Or did you have a rant?
- Would you like to have a talk?
- No.
Okay.
Why isn't the door locked, Herning?
H?eg? What are you doing here?
Where's Herning?
Can you explain
how a killer can strike again -
- in a maximum security prison
while the police is investigating?
That's a bloody good question!
Any ideas?
I refused helping him.
- Who?
- Herning.
Why?
Scratches and bruises at the anus
indicate penetration with a blunt object.
Hands and feet are tied.
It's the same knots as with Kaba.
This bruise suggests that he, too,
died from a blow to the temple.
The wounds were inflicted afterwards, so
it wasn't to prevent them from escaping.
Why merely disfiguring hands and feet?
For the victim to suffer
he must remain conscious.
- That's pure torture.
- As known to torturers for 2000 years.
Why the kitchen? Had someone come in,
he would have been discovered.
He's not worried about that.
He's stimulated by anger.
Probably he was a victim
of violent assaults himself.
Let's start with Martin H?eg.
Katrine?
Maybe I should talk to H?eg first.
- Why?
- He's not like the others.
No, but I decide and control
these things.
Martin H?eg? Katrine Ries.
Is that your partner?
Have a seat.
You've said that Herning was dead
when you found him.
I've said that, yes.
Do you see why it appears strange
that you just stood there?
- No.
- Why not?
Aren't you going to ask me about
my relationship to Herning and Kaba?
- What was your relationship to them?
- You can hardly call it a relationship.
I knew them from this ward, but
my sexual orientation is rather normal.
Although the smell of a prostitute, who
hasn't washed all day, is stimulating.
- Is that too banal?
- Is it too banal that you killed him?
- You were so proud you couldn't move?
- I was in shock.
I was in a state of shock.
I was in a shock state.
There. In the kitchen. Shock.
- Thank you.
- I heard of your interview with Herning.
Maybe you can't handle cases too close
to what you experienced as a child?
Will you let me out, please?
- You know something.
- I know many things.
- Do you feel like talking about them?
- Are you honest?
Your brother was very honest.
- Can we strike an agreement?
- About what?
How is your brother?
Huh, dr. Schaeffer?
How is he?
Martin H?eg has a couple of murder
convictions, but he's not a sadist.
The verdict established that
the violence was the result of a fight.
In this record
he's described as dysfunctional.
I disagree. He has personality disorders
but he's positive about the treatment.
- He's no psychopath.
- He's a major psychopath.
- You seem keen to discharge him.
- He doesn't need my help. Read this.
- You can keep it.
- May I?
Martin has an impressive mental
and emotional capacity. His IQ is 155.
We all try to avoid our pain spots
but Martin has managed to confront his.
He has applied for a conditional release
but no decision has been made yet.
- Do you intend to give him that?
- That's how the system works.
After serving 2/3 of the sentence.
- And if he's bluffing?
- Then he has fooled an awful lot.
- What if he's bluffing?
- He has passed the tests.
By the way, what was happening
during your interview with Herning?
Why was he thrown off balance like that?
I'm in charge of an investigation,
not of therapy.
These are all suspects.
They were near both scenes of crime.
This guy was in isolation.
The perpetrator locked himself in
or was let in by Herning.
In the latter case,
it was someone Herning trusted.
Herning was afraid of all prisoners
in the ward apart from...
... these two.
He paid them protection money.
Both men are rapists
and have no alibi.
Good. Mia?
We found traces of H?eg in the kitchen
but not on the dead body.
- Well, that doesn't exclude him.
- That I cannot prove.
Apart from Herning's semen, there were
no biological traces on the victims.
- Not a single one?
- No. It's very rare.
Extreme self-control?
Our person has got exactly that.
- Good. Anything else?
- No, not for now.
Then get on with it.
You know what to do.
I know you're very capable
but you went too far with Herning.
I'm happy to hear
you think I'm capable.
Your stepfather never got
his due punishment, did he?
Is it just me, or are you
holding my past against me?
I'm not holding anything against you.
Every single officer I know
joined the police for personal reasons.
You're nothing special,
if that's what you think.
If you don't move on,
you won't make it.
The it'll get the best of you.
I don't want that.
So let go of it.
It's 15 years ago now.
I don't think it's Martin H?eg.
But I do think he's a key to all this.
I would like to talk to him. Alone.
- Why alone?
- He's a challenge.
I'll talk to Cecilia
and pick you up in five minutes.
Good. See you.
So, any progress?
The thing between Herning and Kaba
is that normal in this prison?
Many prisoners are homophobic.
At the same time they're attracted
by some of their inmates. It's natural.
Everybody needs to feel close to
someone, but they don't see it that way.
They get confused. Some were probably
provoked by Kaba and Herning.
- Were they killed because they had sex?
- If it evoked a feeling of shame.
Most in here have no other way
of reacting when they feel threatened.
- Violence is their language.
- Yes.
You're working with these men
every day. Men who...
... who have committed atrocious crimes.
- How can you care about them?
- I'm not sure I care about them.
I'm trying to understand them.
If you go back in time,
all these men are victims, too.
So that's it?
You have to understand them.
- And then just forgive them?
- Certain things can't ever be forgiven.
There's a big difference
between forgiving and understanding.
One can forgive only by understanding.
I just want to say that I'm very sorry
about what happened to Herning.
- To what do I owe this honour?
- Hello, Martin.
Why are you so interested in my brother?
I'm not, really.
I just don't get to talk a lot here...
So let's strike a deal.
I tell and you tell.
- Deal?
- It's a start.
I would like to get out.
I would like to get out.
Still not sure
if we've got things under control?
Your extra guards are everywhere.
Your people.
If the cells had been locked,
it wouldn't have been necessary.
I can't let you walk alone.
And we're not enough here to walk twice.
- Wait until Schaeffer comes out.
- I would like to get out now.
- It's at your own risk.
- Fine by me.
Come on. Come on.
Stig Holm. 20 years old.
He's serving a minor drug sentence.
He'll be transferred
to another department.
- Did he see who attacked him?
- He hasn't spoken since I found him.
What a paradox: He's in isolation
because he needs protection -
- while the one who did it
moves around freely.
He's too scared to talk.
- I'll try tomorrow.
- Thank you.
Schmidt.
- Katrine!
- How did you get in?
Master keys. I can get in everywhere.
- They were in Stig Holm's cell.
- Where did he get those from?
Will you come with me, please?
Martin H?eg. He knows everything
which goes on here.
- I just need to coax it out of him.
- How will you do that?
We have a sort of deal.
- How did Stig get a master key?
- No idea.
- Who killed Herning?
- Someone who raped and killed before.
Committing two murders in jail
requires some intelligence
My fellow inmates have
a limited mental capacity.
That's why they're in here.
That brings down the number of suspects.
- What do you think?
- It wasn't my doing.
Although it was nice to watch. One can
always live off other people's pain.
- Do many tell you confidential stuff?
- Well, I'm a psychologist...
Are rules broken
to make things work in this prison?
We turn a blind eye
to people smoking a bit of hash.
- What do you know about the key?
- As said, I don't know anything.
But there's something you should know.
I should have said it earlier.
After finishing my studies, I worked
for the child welfare authorities.
- With my case?
- Not directly.
- How much do you know?
- Enough to understand you.
Why you overreacted with Herning.
I've met many victims
who never let off steam.
They turn their anger inwards
and become self-destructive.
Or they do like the prisoners in here:
turn their anger outwards.
They take it out on others
who again take it out on others.
Untreated, it's a vicious spiral.
- Tell me about your brother.
- There's not a lot to say.
There's always something.
Did you have dinner together?
Were you peeping
when he brought girls home?
Did you masturbate?
You shared the same room, didn't you?
- He wasn't very nice to you, was he?
- No, he wasn't.
Why not?
There was something wrong.
He was violent.
They took him away when he was 15.
I haven't seen him since.
Why did Herning and Kaba die?
Do you know what I would like?
To get out. Just for one day.
Have a little look around.
You haven't given me anything.
Are you letting a killer
join the investigation?
Dr. Schaeffer.
Ask Max about Stig.
Max knocked down Stig.
- What did you want from Stig Holm?
- What?
You little prick.
What did you want from Stig Holm?
- I have no idea what you're on about.
- Were you fighting over the key?
Didn't he want to pay protection money?
Please close the door.
Please close the door.
What did you want from Stig Holm?
What did you want from Stig Holm?
Thank you.
They're ready. Here you go.
Thanks for your message.
Shall we go and get that lunch?
Yes.
Just a second.
Is everything okay?
Okay. Sure. Of course.
Thomas needs my help,
so I have to cancel.
Is it true that you talked
to Max on your own?
- Can I help you?
- No,. I was just leaving.
- Some other day?
- Yes.
Bye.
The prison is about to explode,
and then you pull a stunt like that!
- Did you see Stig Holm?
- I don't care about him.
Max would rather take the blame
than say he was beaten up by a woman.
We'll lose the investigation.
You simply have to control yourself!
I know, Molbeck.
I needed to know
where they got the fucking key from.
- And what did you find out?
- Nothing.
Max had no idea.
Stig wanted to push some dope -
- and Max was showing him
how things work in there.
Don't tell me that we wasted four days
because of this key.
- The key makes them all suspects again.
- No, the timing is too convenient.
Has the key even
got anything to do with the case?
The perpetrator must
have planted the key.
If it is indeed planted,
maybe we're closer than we think.
- A smoke screen means that he's afraid.
- He's not.
If he's putting out a smoke screen,
he wants to buy some time.
- So he's not done yet?
- He's not afraid of anything.
Excellent.
If I'm getting you out for one day,
I want some answers.
If you can do that,
we can discuss anything.
Good.
Bullshit. What are you talking about?
It wasn't my fault.
- What's your problem?
- I don't have a problem, Max.
What are you trying to achieve?
Do you want to stop the programme?
Is that what you want?
That's no problem.
- Be nice.
- I'm not nice, Max.
- He doesn't seem very motivated.
- No, you can say that again.
I need you to authorize
one day outside for H?eg.
- H?eg?
- I had to clear it with you.
What do you need him for?
- I just need to talk to him.
- About what?
Something to do with the investigation.
- Okay, I'll arrange that.
- I knew I could count on you.
- Who's that?
- Martin H?eg's father.
He doesn't look very frightening to me.
What is that supposed to mean?
It's the only person H?eg is afraid of.
When little Martin was punished,
this guy put him on a chair.
He would just sit there and wait.
For five minutes or two days.
He didn't dare to move.
It's very effective
to let people wait for their punishment.
When he had finally been beaten up,
he was locked inside a cupboard.
That's how executioners are made.
- Why is Martin H?eg so interesting?
- I think he's the key.
- Is he the killer?
- No.
Does the killer confide in him?
No. If only he had received help,
this wouldn't have happened.
Instead, he's punished over and over.
Every stay in prison makes it worse.
- Why wasn't he removed from his father?
- Yes, poor sod.
What are you using him for?
Hello?
Do we agree that Katrine
will not be tackling this on her own -
- because you're absorbed
by a man who was beaten as a child?
- Is the killer driven by desire?
- Nah...
This is what you don't get.
This is about righteous pain.
- What do you mean?
- You don't know Kaba.
How do you think it feels to be taken
away from home? Ask your brother.
- My brother is dead.
- Yes, he is.
Do you know how he died?
- He killed himself.
- Yes, but how?
He cut his artery.
Not the sissy way.
He cut this way.
It's more painful, but it's faster.
Why this enjoyment? Are you avenging
the time when your father locked you in?
I'm not driven by banalities
like revenge and shame.
Nice to know. Then why do you enjoy
watching people suffering?
I'll tell you :
It's entertaining.
And I'm not interfering
as long as it's righteous pain.
Can you interfere?
Nothing in that prison
happens without my approval.
- Was it a rewarding walk?
- Yes, I think so.
I've read all the material about H?eg.
It looks rather convincing.
How is it possible? Fooling all
the experts for so many years?
It's tricky, but possible. He likes
an audience. That's why he's helping.
He talks about "righteous pain."
What's that?
According to Cecilia
it's venting his anger.
She also said
that H?eg will be lot out on parole.
Too bad the police are finding out
all the things you're doing.
- I'm here to talk to Cecilia Friis.
- Yes.
Safe journey!
- I would like to talk to Cecilia.
- Sure. You know the way.
- Those two are usually all right.
- I think Max finished his dump.
Let's see what you have between
your buttocks. Take your trousers off.
- No.
- Take your trousers off.
- Hell no!
- Take off your bloody trousers!
What the hell are you doing?
Are you nuts?
- What's going on?
- Stop! Get back.
- Take his keys.
- Remove that knife from her throat.
- Open up the door.
- Remove the knife, Max.
- Get back! Him, too.
- Remove the knife from her throat.
You don't have to do this!
- Close the door.
- You don't have to do this, Stig.
You don't have to do this.
Get away from the door.
- Get away from that door!
- Yes, yes.
Max, she needs medical help.
Listen... this goes for all of you...
If she dies -
- you'll all be charged
with complicity in murder.
- She's bleeding to death.
- Okay.
- Someone needs to see to her.
- Okay.
- How did this happen?
- I don't know. Katrine is up there.
Is she alone?
She's not allowed to.
Open this door!
One person can come in
and dress the wounds.
Her.
You.
Max is under control.
I'll do my best to protect you.
- Katrine?
- Stay here.
Okay.
Would you ask your boys
to back off a bit?
If you send in the task force now,
all lives will be at risk.
Yes, but I can't let Katrine stay
in there one second longer.
Let me go in.
- What do you want?
- Let me go in.
Shut up!
Let me just try one thing first.
Pass me the tape.
Max... Iet go of her.
You just need to...
Stay where you are. Stig
Stig!
Martin..?
Quiet. Quiet.
We don't know who's armed
and you can't expect any help.
- We'll go in in five minutes.
- Five minutes.
I know your type.
Don't you think you're better than us.
Stig?
Stig, my name's Thomas.
I'm not a policeman.
I'm a doctor.
I'm unarmed.
I would like to come in
and talk to you. Is that okay?
- Can I come in?
- Hell no!
I can help you solving this problem.
I'm coming in now.
Okay?
- Stop right there!
- What will it be, Stig?
Stig, you're not a killer, are you?
This is Max' conflict.
He was the one pulling the knife.
Where is he now?
- Ow!
- How is it feeling another man's dick?
We can solve this very easily.
None of you have committed anything yet.
If we all leave quietly now,
no one will get punished.
- He's bluffing.
- Stig, you'll be a father soon.
You haven't done anything yet. Put down
the scissors and push them over here.
Then it's all over.
Think of your child.
Stig, where's Katrine?
He tried to rape her.
Max Holst is in hospital.
His condition is under control.
Martin H?eg explained
he used violence to stop Max from...
... from raping you.
- Can we back this explanation?
- Yes.
- Are you sure?
- It looks like it.
I should never have given you that case.
I'm very sorry.
Bisgaard...
It's not your responsibility.
Thanks.
There's a journalist outside. Ulrik.
He says he needs to talk to you.
I'll tell him that you'll contact him
when the case is closed.
- Thank you.
- Good.
Nothing happens without H?eg's approval.
- During his therapy...
- Everything looked swell. He used you.
I've been treating him for six years.
You're about to give parole to a man
who instigated an attempted rape.
- He saved her from Max.
- And smashed his head.
He makes Max do it and then tries to
look the hero by punishing Max for it.
If you give him that parole,
you'll have to face the consequences.
And believe me, you don't want that.
I've tried that.
- Do as I say.
- All right, you'll have it your way.
Jelena, Cecilia here.
It's about Martin H?eg.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- How are you?
- One psychopath saved me from another.
- It's unbelievable.
- What?
Max attacks Stig,
I attack Max -
- Max attacks me, and Martin
attacks Max. It never ends.
Maybe something good
will come out of it.
Everything was arranged by Martin H?eg.
He wanted to get rid of Max,
because Max know something.
I think he wanted to kill him.
But he survived.
And I think we have a witness
who's willing to talk.
You'll have to tell me
about that one day.
It's Molbeck.
Hello, Katrine speaking.
Max was killed at 3 a.m.
at Hvidovre Hospital.
- Same procedure as Kaba and Herning.
- So we can rule out all the employees.
- "Righteous pain"?
- Retribution.
It's not stimulation of anger
but of retribution.
Stimulation of anger is subconscious.
It applies to someone like Martin H?eg.
Our killer is conscious.
This is about revenge.
He chooses the victims.
They're guilty of something.
What have the three victims
got in common?
Max was a rapist.
Herning was a paedophile.
Kaba is the odd man out.
Not if his bragging had any truth to it.
He was bragging
that he had been a child soldier.
A child soldier is a broken child...
... who kills and rapes.
H?eg said: "You don't know Kaba."
There's something we've missed.
I'm pretty sure this is about revenge,
which, in turn, is about rape.
I'll talk to Bisgaard.
We need to transfer all prisoners with
a current or previous rape conviction.
Are you aware how demanding this is?
Just after the shit hit the fan
in the prison.
I won't repeat the mistake
I did with Herning.
Can just one person confirm
that Kaba was a rapist?
- Jelena said he was a child soldier.
- That's not enough.
- What did the psychologist say?
- That Kaba refused any therapy.
She said the prisoners don't
talk to her about sex.
What?
They don't talk to her about sex?
So we have a psychologist
in a place with 50 % sex offenders -
- but they don't want to talk
to her about sex?
Are you fobbed off that easily?
Hello Jelena, Katrine Ries here.
Did Kaba undergo therapy with Cecilia?
- Why are you asking me?
- Please answer the question.
He refused taking part
in group therapy -
- so they had many individual sessions.
Cecilia doesn 't give up easily.
Hello, Thomas Schaeffer.
Thank you for calling back.
It's about one of my patients.
She was hospitalized recently.
Why was she hospitalized?
At the gynaecologic department?
- The police want to speak to you.
- It's probably about Martin.
I want to say hello to him
before I leave. How did he react?
I didn't proceed with your application.
- Where is Martin?
- They asked me about Kaba's treatment.
I had to lie.
Why did you tell it?
- What?
- I think, I've found our guy.
Or rather girl.
Jelena was Cecilia's client.
"Client subjected to gang rape
during the civil war.
Client has recurring nightmares
and, with this, difficulties sleeping."
Jelena had a miscarriage
a couple of months before Kaba's death.
She'll never be able
to have children again.
That's the trigger and the motive.
It's her.
Would you please find out
if Jelena is on the premises?
She's not.
Question is where she has gone.
Jelena has gone home for the day.
- And Martin H?eg?
- He's on parole.
- He's what?
- He was let on parole this morning.
He's the next victim.
- Stay here.
- Katrine.
Don't listen to Martin.
Send in the uniformed police
when they arrive.
Martin?
Jelena?
Jelena, this is not the solution.
Martin?
- I do what the system doesn't do.
- By killing people?
The bastards deserve to die. Kaba was
bragging about his rapes and killings.
- Is H?eg supposed to be innocent?
- How about Cecilia?
She just wanted to release them.
She's as guilty as they are.
This is not the solution.
I understand that you're very angry.
What is it you understand?
That they were queuing to rape me?
Five soldiers politely queuing
to rape me. Do you understand that?
Stop.
Martin, stop!
- You owe me another one.
- Let go of your weapon.
- Imagine that you came to save me.
- Let go of your weapon!
Was it your mother's boyfriend
who came into your room at night?
Was it?
Did you have to open your mouth?
Huh? Did he come?
Was he big?
Was he big? Huh?
Just believe in it.
Follow your instincts.
Believe in the hatred. Right?
There are no witnesses, Katrine.
Come one.
- You think you're winning.
- Yes.
- You think you'll win in the end.
- Yes.
- People like me always win.
- You know what..?
You lost the very first time your father
locked you into that cupboard.
Turn around, Martin.
Your brother would have been proud.
Brother?
I had a brother once,
who wasn't very well.
He was taken away from our home
when he was 15.
In and out of institutions.
He spent some years with Martin H?eg.
He ended up
committing suicide in prison.
What are you doing now?
Nothing.
Do you feel like doing it with me?
You're driving.
The End
S1E03
- What?
We lock up the bastards,
and yet they continue.
- What's with you?
- I'm not crazy about prisons.
Mia has started, but they're not keen
to have us. Don't expect the red carpet.
This is J?rgen Schmidt. He is
head of the department we're visiting.
Any telephones?
It's okay.
We have three departments
with four wings.
Each wing has communal showers,
kitchen and fitness facilities.
- We're going to the B wing. It's rough.
- Rough?
We have all the rapists and killers.
He has emptied his bowels.
- How old is he?
- He just turned 18.
- Have the relatives been informed?
- There are no relatives.
He arrived from Uganda
as an illegal immigrant.
Before ending up here he was under the
care of the child welfare authorities.
- If you can call it care...
- The kid was doing time for murder.
Violence resulting in death.
Has the "kid" got a name?
Kabaka Mutesa.
He called himself Kaba.
I thought they would leave him alone
as long as he offered his arse to them.
There are many ways
to tackle prison life.
- Did you know of these sexual assaults?
- He was a cynical bastard.
He was totally in control.
I need a copy
of all reports, routines and rules.
I want to know how a young man
can get killed in a Danish prison.
Katrine? He died between 11 p.m.
and 6 a.m. The victim was killed here.
- Don't you lock them up at night?
- Yes, between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.
- Who locked them up last night?
- I did.
Would you please wait outside
and make sure we're not disturbed?
This is a display.
He was placed in the middle
for the spectator to see him upon entry.
And for maximum effect.
- What's that sound?
- The prisoners want to get out.
Get him inside.
- Everything's under control.
- Okay.
The anus has injuries from a dumb bell
and there was semen in the rectum.
Whatever was left of it.
The victim was anaesthetized -
- but he must have regained conscience
because he tried to get away.
You can see the rope marks here.
His palms and soles are badly bruised,
but the rest of the body is untouched.
No other bruises, except at the temple.
The victim was hit with a blunt object.
This killed him.
- The violence seems very controlled.
- His rectum is almost ripped apart!
Apart from that it's just hands and feet.
It's a message to those who knew him.
Good.
But how did he get out of his cell?
Are you sure Kaba was in his cell
when you locked the door?
Are you sure Kaba was in his cell
when you locked the door?
- Have you got any milk?
- So you last saw him at 10 p.m.?
And you didn't see him again until
he was found. We're out of milk. Sorry.
He wasn't let out
to go to the toilet or something?
No.
But somehow he was in the fitness room.
So you had the milk.
Did you or other members of staff
make use of Kaba's services?
Who else, apart from you,
could have let out Kaba that night?
You've got the list of staff on duty.
Some of our own people are there
to keep an eye on the permanent staff.
Do you think we could be
a bit more cautious?
I'm running an investigation, Bisgaard.
Let's be high-handed
when we have something substantial.
Until then,
let's be discrete and diplomatic.
- But...
- No buts, please.
We're not wanted there,
especially by the staff.
It's a state within the state with their
own rules, so let's keep a low profile.
In theory, all the prison officers
could have killed Kaba.
In theory, yes.
In theory.
I know you're doing your job,
but try to be less heavy-handed.
Right. Have we got anything?
A violent attack on Rasmus Mikkelsen
in 1996. Charge, but no verdict.
Carl Eriksen keeps switching jobs.
He has been there for two months.
Several charges against J?rgen Schmidt:
Harassment and violent incidents.
One of them led to a warning.
Nothing else.
- How about Jelena Sikovic?
- She's here now.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
- Those are Kaba's things, right?
- Yes.
They are being examined.
Were you his contact person?
Not that there was much contact.
He kept to himself.
- These?
- To complete upper secondary school.
- Would that have been realistic?
- Yes, with some help from Frederik.
- Frederik?
- Yes, Frederik Herning.
What did Herning get in return?
Quite a bit. But he financed
Kaba's stay in prison.
Did Kaba sell sex to Herning?
- They seem to know no limits.
- "They"?
- Child soldiers.
- Was Kaba a child soldier?
He was always bragging
about his child soldier stories.
Were you on duty when it happened?
I was helping our psychologist
tidying up the archive.
Why did you come here?
Why are some cells open at night?
I'll do everything I can
to keep your name confidential.
- I risk losing my job.
- You risk that no matter what.
Who says I'm not locking the cells?
You're not asking the questions here.
She is.
Sometimes I am. Not you.
Do you realize that the murder
could have been avoided?
Don't you get it?
Nobody follows the rules 100 %?
We don't and neither do you.
One has to give prisoners something
they fear losing again. That's how it is.
If they have nothing to lose,
they go berserk.
We just need a list of those prisoners
whose door was open last night.
You may start a fire
that you can't put out again.
If you don't cooperate we'll charge you
with misconduct. Start writing!
Start writing!
We need to talk to the prisoners
on the list. Are you in charge of that?
Yes, Schmidt specifically wanted me.
He doesn't want to risk anything.
Boys, hands where I can see them!
Whoa!
Max. Max. Come here.
- Yes, yes. Relax.
- Get into your cell.
- Who's the guy at the back?
- Martin H?eg, prisoner spokesman.
- Let's start with Max.
- I want to see the crime scene again.
H?gh, get back to your cell.
You, too, Herning.
Did you leave your cell
during the night?
- How did you know Kaba?
- Like an arsehole.
Did you have sex with him?
What about yourself? Are you into
doggy style or are you more into pussy?
They say
there's many lesbian policewomen.
What was your relationship
with Herning like?
- What's it to you?
- Answer the question.
You look like you know these things.
I have the right to shut up, don't I?
- This area is sealed off.
- Dr. Schaeffer.
I can't believe you're dealing
with a banal prison row.
What makes you think it's banal?
Human emotions are always banal.
- You knew Kaba, right?
- Yes.
- We all knew Kaba.
- Do I know you?
I was doing time with your brother from
'91 to '93. Before he was transferred.
How is he? Poul.
I think Max makes them shut up.
I'll talk to the psychologist now.
And I'll add the interview
with Max to the report.
Bisgaard wants
a press briefing later today.
- Drugs?
- You need to register here.
Racism?
You never called back.
I was actually very disappointed.
How about a cup of coffee?
There. We've had our cup of coffee.
I meant it when I said
it was a one-nighter.
What's the relationship
between Max and Herning?
Herning is paying Max protection money.
If not, he might have done time
in solitary confinement.
- What do you make of him?
- Herning is not a typical paedophile.
- He's only attracted to adolescents.
- Which treatment did he get?
Private interviews,
group therapy and role-playing -
- to develop his understanding
of the victim. With good results.
But no matter what,
Herning has abused Kaba.
You might ask yourself who abused who?
Kaba seemed to cynically exploit
Herning's weakness.
Do you think Herning was capable of the
type of violence Kaba was subjected to?
Most people in here suffer from
such fundamental personality disorders -
- that they're capable of anything.
What can you tell us about Martin H?eg?
I told you to leave him alone!
- Didn't I?
- Everyone knows Herning did it.
Is it so hard to understand?
Leave him alone!
Why did they shout:
"Everyone knows Herning did it"?
I don't know.
- Has it got anything to do with Kaba?
- I don't know. They're all idiots.
I helped him with his homework.
That's not illegal, is it?
You helped him?
But it was not for free, was it?
Give and take, right? Did you
help one of your former pupils, too?
The one that got you
a sexual offence charge. Andreas.
13 years old. His grades got better,
and you got what you wanted.
Until he didn't want to anymore.
What was it you did then?
What was it you did to him?
Did he scream when you raped him?
What we had was beautiful.
"Beautiful"?
We found semen inside Kaba.
Enough for a clear DNA profile.
Something tells me
that it will match yours.
I cared about him.
We had a relationship.
- Did you rape him that night?
- No... No.
We were together.
But not in the fitness room.
We were in his cell.
It's true that we had a row.
Some of the others probably heard it.
I wanted him to stop selling himself
to the others.
No, you wanted to rape him in peace.
You had to be the only one, didn't you?
Have you got a minute?
- Yes?
- Maybe I should talk to him, too.
This is an interview with a suspect.
It's outside your field, Thomas.
You're not winning his confidence.
He just lost his only friend.
If they hear that we treat them like
this, we won't get anything out of them.
Let Molbeck do it. Give it a try.
- Fine.
- Thanks.
It must be difficult with a relationship
to someone who's for sale?
It certainly wasn't necessary.
I have enough money.
Did he make a fool of you?
Yes.
He called me a pervert
and wanted twice the amount.
And what did you do then?
- I paid.
- Before or after abusing him?
- As said, we had a relationship.
- Stop calling it that!
- Of course I didn't kill him.
- He was just a boy and you abused him!
It went out of hand. You couldn't handle
his lack of response. Look at it!
Have a real good look!
You couldn't stand it, could you?
You had to kill him to keep the illusion
that he loved you. Look at it!
Katrine!
Do you know what I think?
I think he detested you.
Please help me!
Can you say something so I don't have
to go back to the B wing?
Can you?
No.
- He isn't self-confident enough.
- Enough to call child rape "beautiful."
We have a DNA match.
The semen belongs to Herning.
- Oh, how he "broke down" in there.
- They had a relationship.
He'll talk tomorrow.
You'll have to control yourself!
- But I hit a weak point.
- Did you now? Or did you have a rant?
- Would you like to have a talk?
- No.
Okay.
Why isn't the door locked, Herning?
H?eg? What are you doing here?
Where's Herning?
Can you explain
how a killer can strike again -
- in a maximum security prison
while the police is investigating?
That's a bloody good question!
Any ideas?
I refused helping him.
- Who?
- Herning.
Why?
Scratches and bruises at the anus
indicate penetration with a blunt object.
Hands and feet are tied.
It's the same knots as with Kaba.
This bruise suggests that he, too,
died from a blow to the temple.
The wounds were inflicted afterwards, so
it wasn't to prevent them from escaping.
Why merely disfiguring hands and feet?
For the victim to suffer
he must remain conscious.
- That's pure torture.
- As known to torturers for 2000 years.
Why the kitchen? Had someone come in,
he would have been discovered.
He's not worried about that.
He's stimulated by anger.
Probably he was a victim
of violent assaults himself.
Let's start with Martin H?eg.
Katrine?
Maybe I should talk to H?eg first.
- Why?
- He's not like the others.
No, but I decide and control
these things.
Martin H?eg? Katrine Ries.
Is that your partner?
Have a seat.
You've said that Herning was dead
when you found him.
I've said that, yes.
Do you see why it appears strange
that you just stood there?
- No.
- Why not?
Aren't you going to ask me about
my relationship to Herning and Kaba?
- What was your relationship to them?
- You can hardly call it a relationship.
I knew them from this ward, but
my sexual orientation is rather normal.
Although the smell of a prostitute, who
hasn't washed all day, is stimulating.
- Is that too banal?
- Is it too banal that you killed him?
- You were so proud you couldn't move?
- I was in shock.
I was in a state of shock.
I was in a shock state.
There. In the kitchen. Shock.
- Thank you.
- I heard of your interview with Herning.
Maybe you can't handle cases too close
to what you experienced as a child?
Will you let me out, please?
- You know something.
- I know many things.
- Do you feel like talking about them?
- Are you honest?
Your brother was very honest.
- Can we strike an agreement?
- About what?
How is your brother?
Huh, dr. Schaeffer?
How is he?
Martin H?eg has a couple of murder
convictions, but he's not a sadist.
The verdict established that
the violence was the result of a fight.
In this record
he's described as dysfunctional.
I disagree. He has personality disorders
but he's positive about the treatment.
- He's no psychopath.
- He's a major psychopath.
- You seem keen to discharge him.
- He doesn't need my help. Read this.
- You can keep it.
- May I?
Martin has an impressive mental
and emotional capacity. His IQ is 155.
We all try to avoid our pain spots
but Martin has managed to confront his.
He has applied for a conditional release
but no decision has been made yet.
- Do you intend to give him that?
- That's how the system works.
After serving 2/3 of the sentence.
- And if he's bluffing?
- Then he has fooled an awful lot.
- What if he's bluffing?
- He has passed the tests.
By the way, what was happening
during your interview with Herning?
Why was he thrown off balance like that?
I'm in charge of an investigation,
not of therapy.
These are all suspects.
They were near both scenes of crime.
This guy was in isolation.
The perpetrator locked himself in
or was let in by Herning.
In the latter case,
it was someone Herning trusted.
Herning was afraid of all prisoners
in the ward apart from...
... these two.
He paid them protection money.
Both men are rapists
and have no alibi.
Good. Mia?
We found traces of H?eg in the kitchen
but not on the dead body.
- Well, that doesn't exclude him.
- That I cannot prove.
Apart from Herning's semen, there were
no biological traces on the victims.
- Not a single one?
- No. It's very rare.
Extreme self-control?
Our person has got exactly that.
- Good. Anything else?
- No, not for now.
Then get on with it.
You know what to do.
I know you're very capable
but you went too far with Herning.
I'm happy to hear
you think I'm capable.
Your stepfather never got
his due punishment, did he?
Is it just me, or are you
holding my past against me?
I'm not holding anything against you.
Every single officer I know
joined the police for personal reasons.
You're nothing special,
if that's what you think.
If you don't move on,
you won't make it.
The it'll get the best of you.
I don't want that.
So let go of it.
It's 15 years ago now.
I don't think it's Martin H?eg.
But I do think he's a key to all this.
I would like to talk to him. Alone.
- Why alone?
- He's a challenge.
I'll talk to Cecilia
and pick you up in five minutes.
Good. See you.
So, any progress?
The thing between Herning and Kaba
is that normal in this prison?
Many prisoners are homophobic.
At the same time they're attracted
by some of their inmates. It's natural.
Everybody needs to feel close to
someone, but they don't see it that way.
They get confused. Some were probably
provoked by Kaba and Herning.
- Were they killed because they had sex?
- If it evoked a feeling of shame.
Most in here have no other way
of reacting when they feel threatened.
- Violence is their language.
- Yes.
You're working with these men
every day. Men who...
... who have committed atrocious crimes.
- How can you care about them?
- I'm not sure I care about them.
I'm trying to understand them.
If you go back in time,
all these men are victims, too.
So that's it?
You have to understand them.
- And then just forgive them?
- Certain things can't ever be forgiven.
There's a big difference
between forgiving and understanding.
One can forgive only by understanding.
I just want to say that I'm very sorry
about what happened to Herning.
- To what do I owe this honour?
- Hello, Martin.
Why are you so interested in my brother?
I'm not, really.
I just don't get to talk a lot here...
So let's strike a deal.
I tell and you tell.
- Deal?
- It's a start.
I would like to get out.
I would like to get out.
Still not sure
if we've got things under control?
Your extra guards are everywhere.
Your people.
If the cells had been locked,
it wouldn't have been necessary.
I can't let you walk alone.
And we're not enough here to walk twice.
- Wait until Schaeffer comes out.
- I would like to get out now.
- It's at your own risk.
- Fine by me.
Come on. Come on.
Stig Holm. 20 years old.
He's serving a minor drug sentence.
He'll be transferred
to another department.
- Did he see who attacked him?
- He hasn't spoken since I found him.
What a paradox: He's in isolation
because he needs protection -
- while the one who did it
moves around freely.
He's too scared to talk.
- I'll try tomorrow.
- Thank you.
Schmidt.
- Katrine!
- How did you get in?
Master keys. I can get in everywhere.
- They were in Stig Holm's cell.
- Where did he get those from?
Will you come with me, please?
Martin H?eg. He knows everything
which goes on here.
- I just need to coax it out of him.
- How will you do that?
We have a sort of deal.
- How did Stig get a master key?
- No idea.
- Who killed Herning?
- Someone who raped and killed before.
Committing two murders in jail
requires some intelligence
My fellow inmates have
a limited mental capacity.
That's why they're in here.
That brings down the number of suspects.
- What do you think?
- It wasn't my doing.
Although it was nice to watch. One can
always live off other people's pain.
- Do many tell you confidential stuff?
- Well, I'm a psychologist...
Are rules broken
to make things work in this prison?
We turn a blind eye
to people smoking a bit of hash.
- What do you know about the key?
- As said, I don't know anything.
But there's something you should know.
I should have said it earlier.
After finishing my studies, I worked
for the child welfare authorities.
- With my case?
- Not directly.
- How much do you know?
- Enough to understand you.
Why you overreacted with Herning.
I've met many victims
who never let off steam.
They turn their anger inwards
and become self-destructive.
Or they do like the prisoners in here:
turn their anger outwards.
They take it out on others
who again take it out on others.
Untreated, it's a vicious spiral.
- Tell me about your brother.
- There's not a lot to say.
There's always something.
Did you have dinner together?
Were you peeping
when he brought girls home?
Did you masturbate?
You shared the same room, didn't you?
- He wasn't very nice to you, was he?
- No, he wasn't.
Why not?
There was something wrong.
He was violent.
They took him away when he was 15.
I haven't seen him since.
Why did Herning and Kaba die?
Do you know what I would like?
To get out. Just for one day.
Have a little look around.
You haven't given me anything.
Are you letting a killer
join the investigation?
Dr. Schaeffer.
Ask Max about Stig.
Max knocked down Stig.
- What did you want from Stig Holm?
- What?
You little prick.
What did you want from Stig Holm?
- I have no idea what you're on about.
- Were you fighting over the key?
Didn't he want to pay protection money?
Please close the door.
Please close the door.
What did you want from Stig Holm?
What did you want from Stig Holm?
Thank you.
They're ready. Here you go.
Thanks for your message.
Shall we go and get that lunch?
Yes.
Just a second.
Is everything okay?
Okay. Sure. Of course.
Thomas needs my help,
so I have to cancel.
Is it true that you talked
to Max on your own?
- Can I help you?
- No,. I was just leaving.
- Some other day?
- Yes.
Bye.
The prison is about to explode,
and then you pull a stunt like that!
- Did you see Stig Holm?
- I don't care about him.
Max would rather take the blame
than say he was beaten up by a woman.
We'll lose the investigation.
You simply have to control yourself!
I know, Molbeck.
I needed to know
where they got the fucking key from.
- And what did you find out?
- Nothing.
Max had no idea.
Stig wanted to push some dope -
- and Max was showing him
how things work in there.
Don't tell me that we wasted four days
because of this key.
- The key makes them all suspects again.
- No, the timing is too convenient.
Has the key even
got anything to do with the case?
The perpetrator must
have planted the key.
If it is indeed planted,
maybe we're closer than we think.
- A smoke screen means that he's afraid.
- He's not.
If he's putting out a smoke screen,
he wants to buy some time.
- So he's not done yet?
- He's not afraid of anything.
Excellent.
If I'm getting you out for one day,
I want some answers.
If you can do that,
we can discuss anything.
Good.
Bullshit. What are you talking about?
It wasn't my fault.
- What's your problem?
- I don't have a problem, Max.
What are you trying to achieve?
Do you want to stop the programme?
Is that what you want?
That's no problem.
- Be nice.
- I'm not nice, Max.
- He doesn't seem very motivated.
- No, you can say that again.
I need you to authorize
one day outside for H?eg.
- H?eg?
- I had to clear it with you.
What do you need him for?
- I just need to talk to him.
- About what?
Something to do with the investigation.
- Okay, I'll arrange that.
- I knew I could count on you.
- Who's that?
- Martin H?eg's father.
He doesn't look very frightening to me.
What is that supposed to mean?
It's the only person H?eg is afraid of.
When little Martin was punished,
this guy put him on a chair.
He would just sit there and wait.
For five minutes or two days.
He didn't dare to move.
It's very effective
to let people wait for their punishment.
When he had finally been beaten up,
he was locked inside a cupboard.
That's how executioners are made.
- Why is Martin H?eg so interesting?
- I think he's the key.
- Is he the killer?
- No.
Does the killer confide in him?
No. If only he had received help,
this wouldn't have happened.
Instead, he's punished over and over.
Every stay in prison makes it worse.
- Why wasn't he removed from his father?
- Yes, poor sod.
What are you using him for?
Hello?
Do we agree that Katrine
will not be tackling this on her own -
- because you're absorbed
by a man who was beaten as a child?
- Is the killer driven by desire?
- Nah...
This is what you don't get.
This is about righteous pain.
- What do you mean?
- You don't know Kaba.
How do you think it feels to be taken
away from home? Ask your brother.
- My brother is dead.
- Yes, he is.
Do you know how he died?
- He killed himself.
- Yes, but how?
He cut his artery.
Not the sissy way.
He cut this way.
It's more painful, but it's faster.
Why this enjoyment? Are you avenging
the time when your father locked you in?
I'm not driven by banalities
like revenge and shame.
Nice to know. Then why do you enjoy
watching people suffering?
I'll tell you :
It's entertaining.
And I'm not interfering
as long as it's righteous pain.
Can you interfere?
Nothing in that prison
happens without my approval.
- Was it a rewarding walk?
- Yes, I think so.
I've read all the material about H?eg.
It looks rather convincing.
How is it possible? Fooling all
the experts for so many years?
It's tricky, but possible. He likes
an audience. That's why he's helping.
He talks about "righteous pain."
What's that?
According to Cecilia
it's venting his anger.
She also said
that H?eg will be lot out on parole.
Too bad the police are finding out
all the things you're doing.
- I'm here to talk to Cecilia Friis.
- Yes.
Safe journey!
- I would like to talk to Cecilia.
- Sure. You know the way.
- Those two are usually all right.
- I think Max finished his dump.
Let's see what you have between
your buttocks. Take your trousers off.
- No.
- Take your trousers off.
- Hell no!
- Take off your bloody trousers!
What the hell are you doing?
Are you nuts?
- What's going on?
- Stop! Get back.
- Take his keys.
- Remove that knife from her throat.
- Open up the door.
- Remove the knife, Max.
- Get back! Him, too.
- Remove the knife from her throat.
You don't have to do this!
- Close the door.
- You don't have to do this, Stig.
You don't have to do this.
Get away from the door.
- Get away from that door!
- Yes, yes.
Max, she needs medical help.
Listen... this goes for all of you...
If she dies -
- you'll all be charged
with complicity in murder.
- She's bleeding to death.
- Okay.
- Someone needs to see to her.
- Okay.
- How did this happen?
- I don't know. Katrine is up there.
Is she alone?
She's not allowed to.
Open this door!
One person can come in
and dress the wounds.
Her.
You.
Max is under control.
I'll do my best to protect you.
- Katrine?
- Stay here.
Okay.
Would you ask your boys
to back off a bit?
If you send in the task force now,
all lives will be at risk.
Yes, but I can't let Katrine stay
in there one second longer.
Let me go in.
- What do you want?
- Let me go in.
Shut up!
Let me just try one thing first.
Pass me the tape.
Max... Iet go of her.
You just need to...
Stay where you are. Stig
Stig!
Martin..?
Quiet. Quiet.
We don't know who's armed
and you can't expect any help.
- We'll go in in five minutes.
- Five minutes.
I know your type.
Don't you think you're better than us.
Stig?
Stig, my name's Thomas.
I'm not a policeman.
I'm a doctor.
I'm unarmed.
I would like to come in
and talk to you. Is that okay?
- Can I come in?
- Hell no!
I can help you solving this problem.
I'm coming in now.
Okay?
- Stop right there!
- What will it be, Stig?
Stig, you're not a killer, are you?
This is Max' conflict.
He was the one pulling the knife.
Where is he now?
- Ow!
- How is it feeling another man's dick?
We can solve this very easily.
None of you have committed anything yet.
If we all leave quietly now,
no one will get punished.
- He's bluffing.
- Stig, you'll be a father soon.
You haven't done anything yet. Put down
the scissors and push them over here.
Then it's all over.
Think of your child.
Stig, where's Katrine?
He tried to rape her.
Max Holst is in hospital.
His condition is under control.
Martin H?eg explained
he used violence to stop Max from...
... from raping you.
- Can we back this explanation?
- Yes.
- Are you sure?
- It looks like it.
I should never have given you that case.
I'm very sorry.
Bisgaard...
It's not your responsibility.
Thanks.
There's a journalist outside. Ulrik.
He says he needs to talk to you.
I'll tell him that you'll contact him
when the case is closed.
- Thank you.
- Good.
Nothing happens without H?eg's approval.
- During his therapy...
- Everything looked swell. He used you.
I've been treating him for six years.
You're about to give parole to a man
who instigated an attempted rape.
- He saved her from Max.
- And smashed his head.
He makes Max do it and then tries to
look the hero by punishing Max for it.
If you give him that parole,
you'll have to face the consequences.
And believe me, you don't want that.
I've tried that.
- Do as I say.
- All right, you'll have it your way.
Jelena, Cecilia here.
It's about Martin H?eg.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- How are you?
- One psychopath saved me from another.
- It's unbelievable.
- What?
Max attacks Stig,
I attack Max -
- Max attacks me, and Martin
attacks Max. It never ends.
Maybe something good
will come out of it.
Everything was arranged by Martin H?eg.
He wanted to get rid of Max,
because Max know something.
I think he wanted to kill him.
But he survived.
And I think we have a witness
who's willing to talk.
You'll have to tell me
about that one day.
It's Molbeck.
Hello, Katrine speaking.
Max was killed at 3 a.m.
at Hvidovre Hospital.
- Same procedure as Kaba and Herning.
- So we can rule out all the employees.
- "Righteous pain"?
- Retribution.
It's not stimulation of anger
but of retribution.
Stimulation of anger is subconscious.
It applies to someone like Martin H?eg.
Our killer is conscious.
This is about revenge.
He chooses the victims.
They're guilty of something.
What have the three victims
got in common?
Max was a rapist.
Herning was a paedophile.
Kaba is the odd man out.
Not if his bragging had any truth to it.
He was bragging
that he had been a child soldier.
A child soldier is a broken child...
... who kills and rapes.
H?eg said: "You don't know Kaba."
There's something we've missed.
I'm pretty sure this is about revenge,
which, in turn, is about rape.
I'll talk to Bisgaard.
We need to transfer all prisoners with
a current or previous rape conviction.
Are you aware how demanding this is?
Just after the shit hit the fan
in the prison.
I won't repeat the mistake
I did with Herning.
Can just one person confirm
that Kaba was a rapist?
- Jelena said he was a child soldier.
- That's not enough.
- What did the psychologist say?
- That Kaba refused any therapy.
She said the prisoners don't
talk to her about sex.
What?
They don't talk to her about sex?
So we have a psychologist
in a place with 50 % sex offenders -
- but they don't want to talk
to her about sex?
Are you fobbed off that easily?
Hello Jelena, Katrine Ries here.
Did Kaba undergo therapy with Cecilia?
- Why are you asking me?
- Please answer the question.
He refused taking part
in group therapy -
- so they had many individual sessions.
Cecilia doesn 't give up easily.
Hello, Thomas Schaeffer.
Thank you for calling back.
It's about one of my patients.
She was hospitalized recently.
Why was she hospitalized?
At the gynaecologic department?
- The police want to speak to you.
- It's probably about Martin.
I want to say hello to him
before I leave. How did he react?
I didn't proceed with your application.
- Where is Martin?
- They asked me about Kaba's treatment.
I had to lie.
Why did you tell it?
- What?
- I think, I've found our guy.
Or rather girl.
Jelena was Cecilia's client.
"Client subjected to gang rape
during the civil war.
Client has recurring nightmares
and, with this, difficulties sleeping."
Jelena had a miscarriage
a couple of months before Kaba's death.
She'll never be able
to have children again.
That's the trigger and the motive.
It's her.
Would you please find out
if Jelena is on the premises?
She's not.
Question is where she has gone.
Jelena has gone home for the day.
- And Martin H?eg?
- He's on parole.
- He's what?
- He was let on parole this morning.
He's the next victim.
- Stay here.
- Katrine.
Don't listen to Martin.
Send in the uniformed police
when they arrive.
Martin?
Jelena?
Jelena, this is not the solution.
Martin?
- I do what the system doesn't do.
- By killing people?
The bastards deserve to die. Kaba was
bragging about his rapes and killings.
- Is H?eg supposed to be innocent?
- How about Cecilia?
She just wanted to release them.
She's as guilty as they are.
This is not the solution.
I understand that you're very angry.
What is it you understand?
That they were queuing to rape me?
Five soldiers politely queuing
to rape me. Do you understand that?
Stop.
Martin, stop!
- You owe me another one.
- Let go of your weapon.
- Imagine that you came to save me.
- Let go of your weapon!
Was it your mother's boyfriend
who came into your room at night?
Was it?
Did you have to open your mouth?
Huh? Did he come?
Was he big?
Was he big? Huh?
Just believe in it.
Follow your instincts.
Believe in the hatred. Right?
There are no witnesses, Katrine.
Come one.
- You think you're winning.
- Yes.
- You think you'll win in the end.
- Yes.
- People like me always win.
- You know what..?
You lost the very first time your father
locked you into that cupboard.
Turn around, Martin.
Your brother would have been proud.
Brother?
I had a brother once,
who wasn't very well.
He was taken away from our home
when he was 15.
In and out of institutions.
He spent some years with Martin H?eg.
He ended up
committing suicide in prison.
What are you doing now?
Nothing.
Do you feel like doing it with me?
You're driving.
The End
