Those Who Kill (2011–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Utopia, del 2 - full transcript
ONE WEEK EARLIER
HOMICIDE
THOSE WHO KILL
AN EYE FOR AN EYE
- What are you thinking?
- He parked here, right?
Then he walked over here -
- and dragged the dead body
down there.
- What have we got?
- He is beaten beyond recognition.
It will be a tricky task.
- Any ID?
- Nothing.
But the needle mark on his arm
reminds me of something.
Remember the murder
of that Russian after Christmas?
We don't have his ID yet.
We cannot conclude anything
before Mia is done.
But it's very similar to a corpse
we found six months ago.
Both victims were subject
to severe blows by a blunt object.
Both died from a morphine overdose.
And the corpses were maltreated
after death occurred.
The first victim was a known member
of the Russian mafia in Denmark.
We need a more precise ID.
Let's get Carsten in there asap.
- Who is Carsten?
- One of our undercover agents.
Carsten has been successfully placed
as a mole -
- in Jacov's organization
and is now Jacov's chauffeur.
Jacov Jacovski has direct connections
to the Russian mafia.
It's the first time
an agent has gained Jacov's trust.
- How is it going?
- Please shut the door.
Thanks to Carsten, we've learned
a lot about the organization.
Jacov's right hand is Mikhail.
A pit bull, extremely aggressive.
Next in the hierarchy is Uri.
Intelligent, calculating.
- It's Oleg.
- Is it this guy?
Yes. The Lithuanians may
be behind this.
It may be related to the rivalry
between Jacov and the Lithuanians.
- Hi Carsten.
- Hi.
- Carsten, meet Thomas Schaeffer.
- Hello.
Remember that everything we say
is strictly confidential. Please continue.
- Was he a central figure?
- No.
Jacov brought him here from Russia.
He was just an ordinary dealer.
Why would they assassin
a simple dealer?
Maybe as a warning?
Were both victims abused
after they died?
We found oxycodone hydrochloride
in their blood.
They died from an overdose
of a morphine called OxyContin.
After this they were beaten
several times by a blunt object.
- How would you describe Jacov?
- Brisk. Brutal.
- Why didn't he avenge the murders?
- It beats me, too.
- He insists that we don't retaliate.
- He must know something.
- That's for sure.
- Maybe he's planning a counterattack.
Would they tell you
if they were up to something?
- No. Besides ...
- Yes.
Yes, you might want to know
that we are pulling out Carsten.
Bisgaard! We'll never know anything
without somebody inside there.
I can no longer guarantee his safety.
I know Carsten very well.
He can do this.
Gang-related homicides
are usually a fast affair.
Someone is either driving
or walking by. It happens very fast.
This seems more calm and deliberate,
almost considerate.
- Because of the syringe?
- Yes. It seems emotional to me.
More personal, at any rate,
than some turf war.
Insider?
- Possibly.
- I'll be back.
No, that's it.
- I need some more time.
- Thank you. You can leave.
Bisgaard, I forgot
to give you these.
- Maybe you'll return my calls now?
- Bisgaard!
- Four days. You can get four days.
- Okay.
- You're out of your mind.
- I'll be 40 soon.
- I know what I'm doing.
- Since when?
I'll call you soon. Okay?
See you.
Carsten? I'll come with you.
- How close are you to Jacov?
- Relatively close.
I often spend time with him alone.
Are you close enough to ask
why he has not retaliated?
You don't ask Jacov any questions.
You just do what you're told.
Hey, Carsten!
Let me do the talking.
Hey, Uri, what's up?
- What are you doing here?
- Not much.
- Meet my brother, Thomas. Uri.
- Hi. Thomas.
- We've been to see some family.
- See you at the club at 2 p.m.
I'm on my way.
See you, brother.
There were no woodchips,
so it must be an iron bar of sorts.
- Or those.
- Okay. Thanks, Mia.
What's going on
between Mia and Carsten?
They were seeing each other
but nothing came of it.
I'm not sure Carsten is ready for it
as long as he works like this.
- Thomas speaking.
- Where are you?
- Hello Benedicte.
- You promised to look after Johan.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- I thought you had gone underground.
- No, I've just been busy.
Perhaps you should tell your son
that you're too busy to see him then.
- I'm here now, aren't I?
- Let's hope he recognizes you.
- Dad!
- Were you not supposed to be ill?
I finished track 4 in
ModNation Racers. You'll never win.
- Don't play any computer games.
- No, no.
Go to bed.
I'll be with you in a second.
- Call me if he gets ill or something.
- Sure. It'll be fine.
Bene? You look good.
- Hanse?
- Yes?
Come on, where are you?
You just lie down here
and get some sleep.
- Hello, Thomas speaking.
- Hi, Katrine here.
Carsten is dead.
I'm afraid you have to come in.
I should have pulled him out.
Are you sure that you want
to do this? I can ask Niels.
Blunt blows to the body,
none of them lethal.
Like the previous case, the cause
of death is a morphine overdose.
The front side of the body
received most of the blows -
- so the victim suffered the abuse
while lying down.
The arms are relatively untouched.
This means that ...
This means that he has not tried
to defend himself.
That is, the injuries were inflicted
after the victim was pacified.
He knows them.
And hates them.
But somehow he cannot harm them.
Have you got some other theories
while you're at it?
It's so easy for you
behind your comfortable desk -
- but it has consequences
for people in the real world.
Let's keep a clear head now.
Yes, let's keep a clear head.
Who cares if Carsten is dead!
Shall we continue?
Yes ... We need to find out
if they knew he was with the police.
They didn't. If they knew that,
they would have shot him.
- It's something else.
- And the narcotics department?
- Will they send a new agent?
- They ...
They don't dare.
Besides, it will take several months
to get a new person ready.
- Still no signs of retaliation?
- No. Well ... not to our knowledge.
- There's no one to confirm it now.
- Let's do a raid.
Bring the whole gang in. Now.
What are the chances
that they will speak to us?
Well ...
Hi.
Damn it!
Sometimes I hate this job!
Carsten always said
I should find someone else.
Someone who deserved me.
But I thought he did.
- Good technique.
- Thanks.
- What's your name?
- Sebastian.
I would like to speak to Jacov.
- What do you need Jacov for?
- Easy!
I asked you a question!
I would just like to talk to you.
Get up!
Carsten's brother. I had no idea
that he had a brother.
I've been living abroad.
- He never mentioned you.
- We were not always best friends.
That's how it is with brothers.
What are you doing here then?
He said that you're a good man
and that you can help.
I came home to start all over.
My brother was the only person I had.
I want to know what happened to him.
Yeah.
- I cannot help you.
- Of course you can.
- Have you got any work?
- I have nothing.
Stay while we find something for you.
- Have you seen Thomas?
- No, he's not answering.
Listen. Thomas' car has been spotted
outside Jacov's club.
Shit!
Keep calling him.
What the hell is it they're doing?
Have you completely lost your mind?
Do you know how dangerous that was?
- They think I'm Carsten's brother.
- Why don't you let us know first?
- You would never allow it.
- No! And with good reason.
Only specialists go undercover.
After years of training.
- I need to deliver this parcel.
- No. You can still get out of it.
- We'll leave the car. You follow me.
- No.
I need to find out who did this.
We need to know who killed Carsten.
This is the only way.
And you know it.
- Damn it, Thomas ...
- I need to get going.
If you do this, you're on your own.
Hello?
- What's wrong with him!
- He gave me no choice.
Is he a complete idiot or what?
Let's pull him out. I'll call in
some patrol cars and arrest him.
No, wait a second. Wait!
Maybe it's not such a bad idea.
They'll never guess
he has anything to do with us.
Not even I did when I first met him.
If they buy that ...
... we have to admit it's ingenious
having a forensic psychiatrist there.
Explosion at the harbour.
- Any casualties?
- No.
- That's him.
- So he's in?
Let me know it's a bomb next time.
I was five minutes from exploding!
Come with me.
- Was it the Lithuanian place?
- That's none of your business.
Just keep doing what you're told.
Like your brother.
From now on your key responsibility
is to look after Sebastian.
You'll take him to and from school.
He must be
under constant supervision.
- Is somebody threatening him?
- He's my son. That's enough.
Can I?
- Jacov only likes white bread.
- It's very nice.
I'm Thomas.
I'm the new driver.
Andreas.
Hi, Katrine here. We have prepared
a room for you at Motel Wittrup.
It has been reserved in your
new cover name, Thomas Helsted.
You'll find papers, a mobile
and a SIM card to contact me.
Don't let anyone see it
and use it to phone us only.
Don't contact anyone from your normal
life, including Benedicte and Johan.
That will put them at risk.
- Hello. Thomas Helsted.
- Yes.
Thank you.
Have a seat.
It's a bit messy, I'm afraid.
- Have you been to Thailand?
- To Thailand?
I've never been there.
I prefer blondes.
Jacov wants you at the club
tomorrow morning at 8 a.m.
Morten is right in front of the goal
but then he is knocked down.
And guess what ...
The referee says nothing.
- Did he not see it?
- I don't know.
How unfair.
You don't look like Carsten.
Maybe it's the age difference.
Carsten plays football
and always takes the piss.
If I had a younger brother,
I would always look out for him.
- You must indicate before turning.
- That's right. Now, now ...
Right.
Then you just need this.
I cannot go in by myself. Dad says
you have to take me all the way.
All right, let's do that then.
At least this king isn't useless.
Jacov has not been himself
since he adopted that kid.
Jacov still calls the shots.
The rest of us do what we're told.
At least as long as he's boss.
- Thomas!
- Uri.
- Say hello to our new njanka.
- Is that me?
Njanka?
Hello, I'm Thomas.
- Have I not seen you before?
- I don't think so.
- Have you done time?
- A couple of times when I was young.
Wait a second, Thomas.
Igor, you go with Uri.
I'll bring Thomas.
Come on, njanka.
- What's this?
- A drop-off to the Lithuanians.
- What have you got for me?
- The usual stuff.
- Who's he?
- It's none of your business.
- It's not enough.
- Not when I counted it.
- I said: It's not enough.
- Beat it, Mikhail. I'm busy.
Get lost and take the idiot with you.
Do you know who I have with me today?
Carsten's brother.
I haven't introduced you two, have I?
Vito's friends call him the butcher.
You're rather proud of that,
aren't you, Vito ... Kasoshisnik?
Do you want to know
what happened to your brother?
Come on, Vito. Tell us
how you killed Carsten. Come on!
As if it makes any difference.
You'll shoot me anyway.
- Shoot him.
- What?
- Shoot him.
- Are you crazy? We can't.
I can't, but you can.
And if you're the person,
you're claiming to be, then you will.
- If Carsten really was your brother.
- Let's just get out of here.
Shoot ... him. Now.
Shoot, for God's sake.
Police! Put down your weapon!
Come on, Mikhail!
Get down!
All the way down!
Put your hands behind your back.
Thank you.
Let's stop here.
Funny how the police turned up
when you needed them.
Well, we're kind of dealing drugs
right in the middle of the harbour.
How stupid can you be!
Don't ever touch me again.
Let's go.
- Bloody hell!
- Is this still a good idea?
Not if there's going
to be a turf war.
- How long do we keep the Lithuanian?
- One week.
- Solitary confinement?
- We don't normally do that.
He's the only one. There'll be no
retaliation as long as we have him.
It's worth a try, but remember
that they're aware of us now.
If we want Thomas back alive,
we can afford no more mistakes.
David will deal with your wound.
I'll wait here.
Yes, it's a deep wound.
It's good you're having it stitched.
Most of your colleagues wait
until there's a nasty infection.
- Where are you from?
- From Saint Petersburg.
Jacov brought me here and saw to it
that I got an education, so ...
- Nice of him.
- It's tradition.
I guess it eases the conscience, what
with all the other things they do.
- Done.
- Done.
Time to pick up Sebastian.
- Will you give this to Andreas?
- Andreas from the kitchen?
- Is he ill?
- He helps out with pills and wounds.
I do have regular clients.
Andreas?
Andreas?
Andreas?
- Hey, Thomas.
- I have something for you.
From David.
This is Nikolev Tutorov.
The fox chasing the chicken.
- Russian is not my strong point.
- The fox is singing to a chicken.
About love. In the end, the chicken
falls in love with the fox.
And lets it in.
It's a beautiful song ... because the
fox is in love with the chicken, too.
But it kills it anyway. You see?
- Katrine speaking.
- Thomas here.
- What went on out there with Mikail?
- He's suspicious of me.
I need a background check
on a guy called Andreas.
- Surname?
- It's probably in Carsten's notes.
- I'll have a look.
- Good. Bye.
From a children's home. Has been
with the organization all his life.
- Odd that he ends up as a cook.
- There's a good reason for that.
- Have you got the photos?
- Yes.
- A six-year-old, unsolved case.
- From one of Jacov's brothels.
We had an eye on him back then.
He was a young, promising gangster.
Then he was sent
to threaten an unruly prostitute.
- He sorted her out alright.
- Why was he not convicted?
Everyone was too scared to testify.
I don't want to grow old.
- Why not?
- Grown-ups are hurt all the time.
- Not all of them, surely?
- No ... just the ones I know.
You really like football, don't you?
What are you? Forward?
We just play in the school yard
without any fixed positions.
- Do you never play on grass?
- No.
I also play PlayStation games.
You don't get injured playing that.
That's a good point.
- Have you got any kids?
- No.
- Why not?
- It's not for me, I think.
- Dad!
- Super.
- Have you had a nice day?
- Yes.
- So you went to see David?
- Yes, I fell on some scrap metal.
- Do you want me to have a look?
- No, it's okay.
- No, no. Have a look at it.
- Okay. Come with me.
Have a seat and take off your shirt.
It's nothing, really.
It's just seven stitches.
How long have you been here?
- I was 14 when he collected me.
- From the children's home?
How does that work?
Er ... we were all lined up.
At first ...
He didn't choose me to begin with.
He chose the one right next to me.
But ... he was too keen.
He was totally excited.
Then Jacov pulls him to the side
and looks him straight in the eyes.
Then he slaps his face.
And chose me instead.
- You're fond of him, aren't you?
- I would do anything for him.
Thanks.
You have five new messages.
Hi, Benedicte here. I need to talk
to you about Johan. Please call back.
- Benedicte speaking.
- Thomas here.
- I've called you many times.
- I'm on a special assignment.
- No word from the station?
- They're not telling much.
- What's going on?
- What's wrong with Johan?
He's still ill. I've never seen him
like this. He has a fever.
- And he's listless.
- It's probably not serious.
Can you come by?
Where are you?
- I have to go.
- Thomas?
Get out. Out!
Ten minutes. You had ten minutes!
He cheated me.
He said he was going to the toilet.
Get out! Out, I said!
- What's wrong?
- Sebastian is gone.
Go!
I'll kill him if anything has
happened to Sebastian.
Wait, I have an idea.
- Next time you ask me first.
- But you won't let me.
Continue.
He's asleep.
I thought you were going
to punish him.
Will you carry him inside?
- It won't be long.
- Is it serious?
No, it's just a routine check-up.
- Can I ask you something?
- Yes.
Is it Andreas who looks after
Sebastian at the club?
Yes.
Andreas is all right.
Pull over.
Pull over now. Do it.
I need my pills.
They're in the glove compartment.
David has received the results
from the hospital.
I got the diagnosis for Christmas.
Colon cancer spreading to the liver.
The only thing David can do
is to increase the morphine dosage.
To ease the pain.
- That's why I got ill in the car.
- How long have you got?
Half a year, if I'm lucky.
Two to three months, if I'm not.
Have you seen a specialist?
I know one. He sent one of my friends
to a clinic in Germany.
It saved his life.
It's worth a try.
- I'm going to need some extra help.
- I'll be there.
My choice of successor
may cause some trouble.
Who have you got in mind?
Well, that's no good now.
- Who would you choose?
- Me?
I you were to choose my successor,
who would it be?
Mikail.
It takes a natural authority ... and
decisiveness when things get brutal.
- He wasn't fond of your brother.
- He has nothing to do with him.
Molbeck speaking.
How does it look?
Hang on ... Katrine?
We have another dead body.
- Where?
- The harbour.
- I'll send Mia's team at once.
- Get it sealed off. Thanks.
Good morning.
Sebastian?
Do you know where Sebastian is?
Where's Sebastian?
- Sebastian, we need to go.
- He has the day off ... Yes.
- Do you want to play?
- Maybe later.
- Yes, I'll call back. Bye.
- What's going on?
- Have we got a positive ID?
- Yes, it's Mikail.
- And the witness?
- She saw a white van.
Possibly the same that we saw
at the harbour.
It's Thomas.
- Are you okay?
- Have you heard about Mikail?
- The witness saw a white van there.
- It's his.
- Is it the same MO?
- Yes.
- And you found pinpricks?
- Yes.
Could it be Jacov himself
getting rid of them?
It's not Jacov. He's mortally ill
and looking for his successor.
Everyone close to him gets killed.
Carsten had his confidence.
Have you got his confidence?
Have you got anything on Andreas?
He is suspected of the murder
of a prostitute some years ago.
I'll get you some paperwork
if Bisgaard allows it.
- We can solve this in 3-4 days.
- That's what Carsten said.
There's enough in Carsten's material
to give them 8-10 years.
Let's close in on them now.
A guy like Uri knows he's next.
- He's got to be ready to talk.
- No, he will not talk.
We must pull out Thomas now.
I don't feel like examining
more dead colleagues.
If we move in now,
we won't find Carsten's killer.
Bisgaard?
We continue.
All victims are
abused and disfigured.
As if he wants revenge.
And yet he gives them morphine first.
A sign of compassion, mercy.
Except for this one.
She's a prostitute.
She has not been drugged first.
Here, he has gone berserk.
Also, she hasn't been moved.
Her position is random.
How is her position
compared to that of the others?
It fits.
Is it not a crime of passion at all?
Is it staged?
Same position
to make them look like each other?
The prostitute ... killed by random,
yet fatal, blows to her temple.
The blows fall
with surgical precision.
The killer has time
to sophisticate the blows.
It was a crime of passion.
This one has been disfigured
in a deliberate, methodical manner.
Not the same killer.
Katrine speaking.
Andreas is not the killer.
The MO is too dissimilar.
- It cannot be the same murderer.
- What have we missed?
That only one heir apparent is left?
Could it be Uri?
- What have we got on him?
- Practically nothing.
No one dares talking.
But Interpol has an open case.
I need to go. Bye.
- I'll wait for you here.
- Is it something dad has said?
Just to be on the safe side.
I'm right here if you need me.
Thank you.
Is parking not allowed here?
"Johan admitted to hospital.
Suspicion of meningitis."
Hey!
- I came as fast as I could.
- They're examining him now.
- What has happened?
- He fainted and is unconscious.
- But what ..?
- A doctor will come and explain it.
We're pulling you out.
Is there something I should know?
There's one last thing I need to do.
- David speaking.
- Hello, Thomas here.
Listen, some idiot didn't know
that I had the right of way.
- Did anything happen?
- No. Well, yes, to the car.
- Could you pick up Sebastian for me?
- Yes, of course.
Take him all the way into the office.
Don't leave him out of sight.
Don't worry. Where are you now?
I'm ... on my way to the garage.
See you. Bye.
- It's over.
- I'm going back to the station.
We're moving in now.
Do you want your things from the car?
I'm going down to get some things.
I'll be right back.
Thomas is out.
Get ready to move in.
We have received the results
and it's not meningitis.
But severe pneumonia. We do
not know if it's bacterial or viral -
- so we want to see
how he reacts to antibiotics.
He's very dehydrated but
his general condition is improving.
We would like to keep him
a few days to observe his condition.
You're welcome to stay the night.
I'll see you during my rounds.
Thank you so much.
- How are you?
- I'm tired.
Have you had no sleep?
Go down and get some. I'll stay here.
- Bye.
- Sleep well.
- Dad?
- Hello, sweetheart.
I told mum
that you would come.
Did you now?
So did I.
- You're not going anywhere, are you?
- No. I'm right here.
- Can I ask you something?
- Sure.
- Do X-rays always look like this?
- Yes, they do.
I've seen some where the name
was in the top bit there.
Then they weren't taken here.
- And they were handwritten.
- That can't be.
- Why not?
- Well, that makes them rather old.
Can I ask you something else?
Sorry?
Is it possible to provoke
cancer symptoms -
- medically, in a healthy patient?
- What an odd question.
- I know, but it's very important.
- Is it?
- Well ... there are many symptoms.
Primarily pain and exhaustion,
so it shouldn't be too difficult.
- Hi there.
- Where's Thomas?
Something came up
so I'm picking you up. Come.
David?
Is my dad seriously ill?
No, it's just stomach problems.
That's why Thomas isn't here, right?
He has taken him to a cancer clinic?
- What did you say?
- I heard him arranging it.
What clinic is that?
They'll examine him to see
if he's going to a clinic in Germany.
- Katrine speaking.
- I've figured it out.
Jacov doesn't have cancer.
David made him believe it -
- to make him dependent on him
while he got rid of all the others.
- When did Jacov adopt Sebastian?
- On December 11th last year.
- When did the first murder happen?
- January the 16th.
He realized
that he wasn't a potential successor.
Come on, we're busy. We need to stop
at the clinic on the way back.
- Why?
- To give you the new MMR-vaccine.
Why make Jacov believe
that he has cancer?
As Sebastian's guardian
he can control everything.
It goes with the killer's MO:
The civilized touch and the rage -
- of an outsider who's angry
that he was left out.
- Where is he now?
- Er, I asked him to ...
I'll call you back.
Johan? Johan?
- Johan? Where's my son?
- What's going on?
- Where's my son?
- Those two men just picked him up.
- I just met them.
- What are you talking about?
- Hello?
- Thomas Schaeffer, where is my son?
- What do you mean?
- There's someone here that you know.
Dad, what's going on?
Just take it easy.
Nothing will happen.
- Where's my son?
- I don't know.
Tell me where he is,
or your boy will die.
- Now, take it ...
- Where is he?
I'll find him.
See you at the quay in one hour.
You get your son and I get mine.
Deal? Good.
But didn't I get that vaccine
last year?
- The new one includes mumps.
- It was in the old one, too.
Sit down.
Yes, but the new one is better.
- Can I call my dad?
- You can do that afterwards.
- I would really like to call him.
- Pull up your blouse.
- No, I won't.
- I'm in charge here.
I'm in charge here. Not you.
Do you understand?
Easy now, Sebastian.
Don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid.
You'll just feel a small prick.
And guess what,
you heart will stop beating.
Then you won't feel a thing.
When I smash your skull.
I'm saving you from the pain, okay?
- I would like to ...
- In your dreams!
His office is on the first floor.
Don' let him see you.
- Is there a rear entry?
- One. To the right.
We take the front entrance.
You take the back entrance.
Do you think
you can just come here ...
... and take the place
from someone else? Do you think that?
Stay here.
- Police!
- I have the boy. I'll kill him.
- Stay!
- Let the boy go!
Stay where you are!
Shut up.
- Police!
- Move. Move, I said!
- Move!
- I am moving. Let the boy go.
- He's moving along the house.
- Roger.
Stay up there!
I'll kill him.
- You stay there ... Shut up!
- He's getting away.
He's getting away.
- I told you to stay up there.
- The gun is pointing to his head.
- I'll kill the kid.
- Take me instead.
Why would I want you?
Get down!
You need a hostage.
I'm worth more than the boy.
- Get down on the ground.
- I'm worth more than the boy.
- Shut up!
- Take me instead.
What is it that you don't ..?
We're going home now.
We're going home to your dad.
- Are you okay, Johan?
- Yes.
It's all over very soon, sweetheart.
- Where was he?
- At David's.
It was David all along.
You're not ill.
He gave you pain-inducing pills
and faked the X-rays.
You're all clear.
Give me Sebastian,
and you'll get your son.
Go to Uri.
I love you.
Thomas!
Thanks.
Come.
- How did it go?
- We cleared the club.
We have the entire gang
except for Jacov and Sebastian.
We'll never find them in Russia.
We found the murder weapon
at David's private address -
- so he will be charged
with Carsten's murder.
Thomas?
- You'll get a report in two ...
- Don't worry about all that.
- Well done.
- Thank you.
Manse, let's go and get mum
and then we're going home.
- Are you still undercover?
- No, it's over. All over.
What are you doing?
Don't you have work to do?
The work won't go away by itself.
Get busy. Unbelievable!

HOMICIDE
THOSE WHO KILL
AN EYE FOR AN EYE
- What are you thinking?
- He parked here, right?
Then he walked over here -
- and dragged the dead body
down there.
- What have we got?
- He is beaten beyond recognition.
It will be a tricky task.
- Any ID?
- Nothing.
But the needle mark on his arm
reminds me of something.
Remember the murder
of that Russian after Christmas?
We don't have his ID yet.
We cannot conclude anything
before Mia is done.
But it's very similar to a corpse
we found six months ago.
Both victims were subject
to severe blows by a blunt object.
Both died from a morphine overdose.
And the corpses were maltreated
after death occurred.
The first victim was a known member
of the Russian mafia in Denmark.
We need a more precise ID.
Let's get Carsten in there asap.
- Who is Carsten?
- One of our undercover agents.
Carsten has been successfully placed
as a mole -
- in Jacov's organization
and is now Jacov's chauffeur.
Jacov Jacovski has direct connections
to the Russian mafia.
It's the first time
an agent has gained Jacov's trust.
- How is it going?
- Please shut the door.
Thanks to Carsten, we've learned
a lot about the organization.
Jacov's right hand is Mikhail.
A pit bull, extremely aggressive.
Next in the hierarchy is Uri.
Intelligent, calculating.
- It's Oleg.
- Is it this guy?
Yes. The Lithuanians may
be behind this.
It may be related to the rivalry
between Jacov and the Lithuanians.
- Hi Carsten.
- Hi.
- Carsten, meet Thomas Schaeffer.
- Hello.
Remember that everything we say
is strictly confidential. Please continue.
- Was he a central figure?
- No.
Jacov brought him here from Russia.
He was just an ordinary dealer.
Why would they assassin
a simple dealer?
Maybe as a warning?
Were both victims abused
after they died?
We found oxycodone hydrochloride
in their blood.
They died from an overdose
of a morphine called OxyContin.
After this they were beaten
several times by a blunt object.
- How would you describe Jacov?
- Brisk. Brutal.
- Why didn't he avenge the murders?
- It beats me, too.
- He insists that we don't retaliate.
- He must know something.
- That's for sure.
- Maybe he's planning a counterattack.
Would they tell you
if they were up to something?
- No. Besides ...
- Yes.
Yes, you might want to know
that we are pulling out Carsten.
Bisgaard! We'll never know anything
without somebody inside there.
I can no longer guarantee his safety.
I know Carsten very well.
He can do this.
Gang-related homicides
are usually a fast affair.
Someone is either driving
or walking by. It happens very fast.
This seems more calm and deliberate,
almost considerate.
- Because of the syringe?
- Yes. It seems emotional to me.
More personal, at any rate,
than some turf war.
Insider?
- Possibly.
- I'll be back.
No, that's it.
- I need some more time.
- Thank you. You can leave.
Bisgaard, I forgot
to give you these.
- Maybe you'll return my calls now?
- Bisgaard!
- Four days. You can get four days.
- Okay.
- You're out of your mind.
- I'll be 40 soon.
- I know what I'm doing.
- Since when?
I'll call you soon. Okay?
See you.
Carsten? I'll come with you.
- How close are you to Jacov?
- Relatively close.
I often spend time with him alone.
Are you close enough to ask
why he has not retaliated?
You don't ask Jacov any questions.
You just do what you're told.
Hey, Carsten!
Let me do the talking.
Hey, Uri, what's up?
- What are you doing here?
- Not much.
- Meet my brother, Thomas. Uri.
- Hi. Thomas.
- We've been to see some family.
- See you at the club at 2 p.m.
I'm on my way.
See you, brother.
There were no woodchips,
so it must be an iron bar of sorts.
- Or those.
- Okay. Thanks, Mia.
What's going on
between Mia and Carsten?
They were seeing each other
but nothing came of it.
I'm not sure Carsten is ready for it
as long as he works like this.
- Thomas speaking.
- Where are you?
- Hello Benedicte.
- You promised to look after Johan.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- I thought you had gone underground.
- No, I've just been busy.
Perhaps you should tell your son
that you're too busy to see him then.
- I'm here now, aren't I?
- Let's hope he recognizes you.
- Dad!
- Were you not supposed to be ill?
I finished track 4 in
ModNation Racers. You'll never win.
- Don't play any computer games.
- No, no.
Go to bed.
I'll be with you in a second.
- Call me if he gets ill or something.
- Sure. It'll be fine.
Bene? You look good.
- Hanse?
- Yes?
Come on, where are you?
You just lie down here
and get some sleep.
- Hello, Thomas speaking.
- Hi, Katrine here.
Carsten is dead.
I'm afraid you have to come in.
I should have pulled him out.
Are you sure that you want
to do this? I can ask Niels.
Blunt blows to the body,
none of them lethal.
Like the previous case, the cause
of death is a morphine overdose.
The front side of the body
received most of the blows -
- so the victim suffered the abuse
while lying down.
The arms are relatively untouched.
This means that ...
This means that he has not tried
to defend himself.
That is, the injuries were inflicted
after the victim was pacified.
He knows them.
And hates them.
But somehow he cannot harm them.
Have you got some other theories
while you're at it?
It's so easy for you
behind your comfortable desk -
- but it has consequences
for people in the real world.
Let's keep a clear head now.
Yes, let's keep a clear head.
Who cares if Carsten is dead!
Shall we continue?
Yes ... We need to find out
if they knew he was with the police.
They didn't. If they knew that,
they would have shot him.
- It's something else.
- And the narcotics department?
- Will they send a new agent?
- They ...
They don't dare.
Besides, it will take several months
to get a new person ready.
- Still no signs of retaliation?
- No. Well ... not to our knowledge.
- There's no one to confirm it now.
- Let's do a raid.
Bring the whole gang in. Now.
What are the chances
that they will speak to us?
Well ...
Hi.
Damn it!
Sometimes I hate this job!
Carsten always said
I should find someone else.
Someone who deserved me.
But I thought he did.
- Good technique.
- Thanks.
- What's your name?
- Sebastian.
I would like to speak to Jacov.
- What do you need Jacov for?
- Easy!
I asked you a question!
I would just like to talk to you.
Get up!
Carsten's brother. I had no idea
that he had a brother.
I've been living abroad.
- He never mentioned you.
- We were not always best friends.
That's how it is with brothers.
What are you doing here then?
He said that you're a good man
and that you can help.
I came home to start all over.
My brother was the only person I had.
I want to know what happened to him.
Yeah.
- I cannot help you.
- Of course you can.
- Have you got any work?
- I have nothing.
Stay while we find something for you.
- Have you seen Thomas?
- No, he's not answering.
Listen. Thomas' car has been spotted
outside Jacov's club.
Shit!
Keep calling him.
What the hell is it they're doing?
Have you completely lost your mind?
Do you know how dangerous that was?
- They think I'm Carsten's brother.
- Why don't you let us know first?
- You would never allow it.
- No! And with good reason.
Only specialists go undercover.
After years of training.
- I need to deliver this parcel.
- No. You can still get out of it.
- We'll leave the car. You follow me.
- No.
I need to find out who did this.
We need to know who killed Carsten.
This is the only way.
And you know it.
- Damn it, Thomas ...
- I need to get going.
If you do this, you're on your own.
Hello?
- What's wrong with him!
- He gave me no choice.
Is he a complete idiot or what?
Let's pull him out. I'll call in
some patrol cars and arrest him.
No, wait a second. Wait!
Maybe it's not such a bad idea.
They'll never guess
he has anything to do with us.
Not even I did when I first met him.
If they buy that ...
... we have to admit it's ingenious
having a forensic psychiatrist there.
Explosion at the harbour.
- Any casualties?
- No.
- That's him.
- So he's in?
Let me know it's a bomb next time.
I was five minutes from exploding!
Come with me.
- Was it the Lithuanian place?
- That's none of your business.
Just keep doing what you're told.
Like your brother.
From now on your key responsibility
is to look after Sebastian.
You'll take him to and from school.
He must be
under constant supervision.
- Is somebody threatening him?
- He's my son. That's enough.
Can I?
- Jacov only likes white bread.
- It's very nice.
I'm Thomas.
I'm the new driver.
Andreas.
Hi, Katrine here. We have prepared
a room for you at Motel Wittrup.
It has been reserved in your
new cover name, Thomas Helsted.
You'll find papers, a mobile
and a SIM card to contact me.
Don't let anyone see it
and use it to phone us only.
Don't contact anyone from your normal
life, including Benedicte and Johan.
That will put them at risk.
- Hello. Thomas Helsted.
- Yes.
Thank you.
Have a seat.
It's a bit messy, I'm afraid.
- Have you been to Thailand?
- To Thailand?
I've never been there.
I prefer blondes.
Jacov wants you at the club
tomorrow morning at 8 a.m.
Morten is right in front of the goal
but then he is knocked down.
And guess what ...
The referee says nothing.
- Did he not see it?
- I don't know.
How unfair.
You don't look like Carsten.
Maybe it's the age difference.
Carsten plays football
and always takes the piss.
If I had a younger brother,
I would always look out for him.
- You must indicate before turning.
- That's right. Now, now ...
Right.
Then you just need this.
I cannot go in by myself. Dad says
you have to take me all the way.
All right, let's do that then.
At least this king isn't useless.
Jacov has not been himself
since he adopted that kid.
Jacov still calls the shots.
The rest of us do what we're told.
At least as long as he's boss.
- Thomas!
- Uri.
- Say hello to our new njanka.
- Is that me?
Njanka?
Hello, I'm Thomas.
- Have I not seen you before?
- I don't think so.
- Have you done time?
- A couple of times when I was young.
Wait a second, Thomas.
Igor, you go with Uri.
I'll bring Thomas.
Come on, njanka.
- What's this?
- A drop-off to the Lithuanians.
- What have you got for me?
- The usual stuff.
- Who's he?
- It's none of your business.
- It's not enough.
- Not when I counted it.
- I said: It's not enough.
- Beat it, Mikhail. I'm busy.
Get lost and take the idiot with you.
Do you know who I have with me today?
Carsten's brother.
I haven't introduced you two, have I?
Vito's friends call him the butcher.
You're rather proud of that,
aren't you, Vito ... Kasoshisnik?
Do you want to know
what happened to your brother?
Come on, Vito. Tell us
how you killed Carsten. Come on!
As if it makes any difference.
You'll shoot me anyway.
- Shoot him.
- What?
- Shoot him.
- Are you crazy? We can't.
I can't, but you can.
And if you're the person,
you're claiming to be, then you will.
- If Carsten really was your brother.
- Let's just get out of here.
Shoot ... him. Now.
Shoot, for God's sake.
Police! Put down your weapon!
Come on, Mikhail!
Get down!
All the way down!
Put your hands behind your back.
Thank you.
Let's stop here.
Funny how the police turned up
when you needed them.
Well, we're kind of dealing drugs
right in the middle of the harbour.
How stupid can you be!
Don't ever touch me again.
Let's go.
- Bloody hell!
- Is this still a good idea?
Not if there's going
to be a turf war.
- How long do we keep the Lithuanian?
- One week.
- Solitary confinement?
- We don't normally do that.
He's the only one. There'll be no
retaliation as long as we have him.
It's worth a try, but remember
that they're aware of us now.
If we want Thomas back alive,
we can afford no more mistakes.
David will deal with your wound.
I'll wait here.
Yes, it's a deep wound.
It's good you're having it stitched.
Most of your colleagues wait
until there's a nasty infection.
- Where are you from?
- From Saint Petersburg.
Jacov brought me here and saw to it
that I got an education, so ...
- Nice of him.
- It's tradition.
I guess it eases the conscience, what
with all the other things they do.
- Done.
- Done.
Time to pick up Sebastian.
- Will you give this to Andreas?
- Andreas from the kitchen?
- Is he ill?
- He helps out with pills and wounds.
I do have regular clients.
Andreas?
Andreas?
Andreas?
- Hey, Thomas.
- I have something for you.
From David.
This is Nikolev Tutorov.
The fox chasing the chicken.
- Russian is not my strong point.
- The fox is singing to a chicken.
About love. In the end, the chicken
falls in love with the fox.
And lets it in.
It's a beautiful song ... because the
fox is in love with the chicken, too.
But it kills it anyway. You see?
- Katrine speaking.
- Thomas here.
- What went on out there with Mikail?
- He's suspicious of me.
I need a background check
on a guy called Andreas.
- Surname?
- It's probably in Carsten's notes.
- I'll have a look.
- Good. Bye.
From a children's home. Has been
with the organization all his life.
- Odd that he ends up as a cook.
- There's a good reason for that.
- Have you got the photos?
- Yes.
- A six-year-old, unsolved case.
- From one of Jacov's brothels.
We had an eye on him back then.
He was a young, promising gangster.
Then he was sent
to threaten an unruly prostitute.
- He sorted her out alright.
- Why was he not convicted?
Everyone was too scared to testify.
I don't want to grow old.
- Why not?
- Grown-ups are hurt all the time.
- Not all of them, surely?
- No ... just the ones I know.
You really like football, don't you?
What are you? Forward?
We just play in the school yard
without any fixed positions.
- Do you never play on grass?
- No.
I also play PlayStation games.
You don't get injured playing that.
That's a good point.
- Have you got any kids?
- No.
- Why not?
- It's not for me, I think.
- Dad!
- Super.
- Have you had a nice day?
- Yes.
- So you went to see David?
- Yes, I fell on some scrap metal.
- Do you want me to have a look?
- No, it's okay.
- No, no. Have a look at it.
- Okay. Come with me.
Have a seat and take off your shirt.
It's nothing, really.
It's just seven stitches.
How long have you been here?
- I was 14 when he collected me.
- From the children's home?
How does that work?
Er ... we were all lined up.
At first ...
He didn't choose me to begin with.
He chose the one right next to me.
But ... he was too keen.
He was totally excited.
Then Jacov pulls him to the side
and looks him straight in the eyes.
Then he slaps his face.
And chose me instead.
- You're fond of him, aren't you?
- I would do anything for him.
Thanks.
You have five new messages.
Hi, Benedicte here. I need to talk
to you about Johan. Please call back.
- Benedicte speaking.
- Thomas here.
- I've called you many times.
- I'm on a special assignment.
- No word from the station?
- They're not telling much.
- What's going on?
- What's wrong with Johan?
He's still ill. I've never seen him
like this. He has a fever.
- And he's listless.
- It's probably not serious.
Can you come by?
Where are you?
- I have to go.
- Thomas?
Get out. Out!
Ten minutes. You had ten minutes!
He cheated me.
He said he was going to the toilet.
Get out! Out, I said!
- What's wrong?
- Sebastian is gone.
Go!
I'll kill him if anything has
happened to Sebastian.
Wait, I have an idea.
- Next time you ask me first.
- But you won't let me.
Continue.
He's asleep.
I thought you were going
to punish him.
Will you carry him inside?
- It won't be long.
- Is it serious?
No, it's just a routine check-up.
- Can I ask you something?
- Yes.
Is it Andreas who looks after
Sebastian at the club?
Yes.
Andreas is all right.
Pull over.
Pull over now. Do it.
I need my pills.
They're in the glove compartment.
David has received the results
from the hospital.
I got the diagnosis for Christmas.
Colon cancer spreading to the liver.
The only thing David can do
is to increase the morphine dosage.
To ease the pain.
- That's why I got ill in the car.
- How long have you got?
Half a year, if I'm lucky.
Two to three months, if I'm not.
Have you seen a specialist?
I know one. He sent one of my friends
to a clinic in Germany.
It saved his life.
It's worth a try.
- I'm going to need some extra help.
- I'll be there.
My choice of successor
may cause some trouble.
Who have you got in mind?
Well, that's no good now.
- Who would you choose?
- Me?
I you were to choose my successor,
who would it be?
Mikail.
It takes a natural authority ... and
decisiveness when things get brutal.
- He wasn't fond of your brother.
- He has nothing to do with him.
Molbeck speaking.
How does it look?
Hang on ... Katrine?
We have another dead body.
- Where?
- The harbour.
- I'll send Mia's team at once.
- Get it sealed off. Thanks.
Good morning.
Sebastian?
Do you know where Sebastian is?
Where's Sebastian?
- Sebastian, we need to go.
- He has the day off ... Yes.
- Do you want to play?
- Maybe later.
- Yes, I'll call back. Bye.
- What's going on?
- Have we got a positive ID?
- Yes, it's Mikail.
- And the witness?
- She saw a white van.
Possibly the same that we saw
at the harbour.
It's Thomas.
- Are you okay?
- Have you heard about Mikail?
- The witness saw a white van there.
- It's his.
- Is it the same MO?
- Yes.
- And you found pinpricks?
- Yes.
Could it be Jacov himself
getting rid of them?
It's not Jacov. He's mortally ill
and looking for his successor.
Everyone close to him gets killed.
Carsten had his confidence.
Have you got his confidence?
Have you got anything on Andreas?
He is suspected of the murder
of a prostitute some years ago.
I'll get you some paperwork
if Bisgaard allows it.
- We can solve this in 3-4 days.
- That's what Carsten said.
There's enough in Carsten's material
to give them 8-10 years.
Let's close in on them now.
A guy like Uri knows he's next.
- He's got to be ready to talk.
- No, he will not talk.
We must pull out Thomas now.
I don't feel like examining
more dead colleagues.
If we move in now,
we won't find Carsten's killer.
Bisgaard?
We continue.
All victims are
abused and disfigured.
As if he wants revenge.
And yet he gives them morphine first.
A sign of compassion, mercy.
Except for this one.
She's a prostitute.
She has not been drugged first.
Here, he has gone berserk.
Also, she hasn't been moved.
Her position is random.
How is her position
compared to that of the others?
It fits.
Is it not a crime of passion at all?
Is it staged?
Same position
to make them look like each other?
The prostitute ... killed by random,
yet fatal, blows to her temple.
The blows fall
with surgical precision.
The killer has time
to sophisticate the blows.
It was a crime of passion.
This one has been disfigured
in a deliberate, methodical manner.
Not the same killer.
Katrine speaking.
Andreas is not the killer.
The MO is too dissimilar.
- It cannot be the same murderer.
- What have we missed?
That only one heir apparent is left?
Could it be Uri?
- What have we got on him?
- Practically nothing.
No one dares talking.
But Interpol has an open case.
I need to go. Bye.
- I'll wait for you here.
- Is it something dad has said?
Just to be on the safe side.
I'm right here if you need me.
Thank you.
Is parking not allowed here?
"Johan admitted to hospital.
Suspicion of meningitis."
Hey!
- I came as fast as I could.
- They're examining him now.
- What has happened?
- He fainted and is unconscious.
- But what ..?
- A doctor will come and explain it.
We're pulling you out.
Is there something I should know?
There's one last thing I need to do.
- David speaking.
- Hello, Thomas here.
Listen, some idiot didn't know
that I had the right of way.
- Did anything happen?
- No. Well, yes, to the car.
- Could you pick up Sebastian for me?
- Yes, of course.
Take him all the way into the office.
Don't leave him out of sight.
Don't worry. Where are you now?
I'm ... on my way to the garage.
See you. Bye.
- It's over.
- I'm going back to the station.
We're moving in now.
Do you want your things from the car?
I'm going down to get some things.
I'll be right back.
Thomas is out.
Get ready to move in.
We have received the results
and it's not meningitis.
But severe pneumonia. We do
not know if it's bacterial or viral -
- so we want to see
how he reacts to antibiotics.
He's very dehydrated but
his general condition is improving.
We would like to keep him
a few days to observe his condition.
You're welcome to stay the night.
I'll see you during my rounds.
Thank you so much.
- How are you?
- I'm tired.
Have you had no sleep?
Go down and get some. I'll stay here.
- Bye.
- Sleep well.
- Dad?
- Hello, sweetheart.
I told mum
that you would come.
Did you now?
So did I.
- You're not going anywhere, are you?
- No. I'm right here.
- Can I ask you something?
- Sure.
- Do X-rays always look like this?
- Yes, they do.
I've seen some where the name
was in the top bit there.
Then they weren't taken here.
- And they were handwritten.
- That can't be.
- Why not?
- Well, that makes them rather old.
Can I ask you something else?
Sorry?
Is it possible to provoke
cancer symptoms -
- medically, in a healthy patient?
- What an odd question.
- I know, but it's very important.
- Is it?
- Well ... there are many symptoms.
Primarily pain and exhaustion,
so it shouldn't be too difficult.
- Hi there.
- Where's Thomas?
Something came up
so I'm picking you up. Come.
David?
Is my dad seriously ill?
No, it's just stomach problems.
That's why Thomas isn't here, right?
He has taken him to a cancer clinic?
- What did you say?
- I heard him arranging it.
What clinic is that?
They'll examine him to see
if he's going to a clinic in Germany.
- Katrine speaking.
- I've figured it out.
Jacov doesn't have cancer.
David made him believe it -
- to make him dependent on him
while he got rid of all the others.
- When did Jacov adopt Sebastian?
- On December 11th last year.
- When did the first murder happen?
- January the 16th.
He realized
that he wasn't a potential successor.
Come on, we're busy. We need to stop
at the clinic on the way back.
- Why?
- To give you the new MMR-vaccine.
Why make Jacov believe
that he has cancer?
As Sebastian's guardian
he can control everything.
It goes with the killer's MO:
The civilized touch and the rage -
- of an outsider who's angry
that he was left out.
- Where is he now?
- Er, I asked him to ...
I'll call you back.
Johan? Johan?
- Johan? Where's my son?
- What's going on?
- Where's my son?
- Those two men just picked him up.
- I just met them.
- What are you talking about?
- Hello?
- Thomas Schaeffer, where is my son?
- What do you mean?
- There's someone here that you know.
Dad, what's going on?
Just take it easy.
Nothing will happen.
- Where's my son?
- I don't know.
Tell me where he is,
or your boy will die.
- Now, take it ...
- Where is he?
I'll find him.
See you at the quay in one hour.
You get your son and I get mine.
Deal? Good.
But didn't I get that vaccine
last year?
- The new one includes mumps.
- It was in the old one, too.
Sit down.
Yes, but the new one is better.
- Can I call my dad?
- You can do that afterwards.
- I would really like to call him.
- Pull up your blouse.
- No, I won't.
- I'm in charge here.
I'm in charge here. Not you.
Do you understand?
Easy now, Sebastian.
Don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid.
You'll just feel a small prick.
And guess what,
you heart will stop beating.
Then you won't feel a thing.
When I smash your skull.
I'm saving you from the pain, okay?
- I would like to ...
- In your dreams!
His office is on the first floor.
Don' let him see you.
- Is there a rear entry?
- One. To the right.
We take the front entrance.
You take the back entrance.
Do you think
you can just come here ...
... and take the place
from someone else? Do you think that?
Stay here.
- Police!
- I have the boy. I'll kill him.
- Stay!
- Let the boy go!
Stay where you are!
Shut up.
- Police!
- Move. Move, I said!
- Move!
- I am moving. Let the boy go.
- He's moving along the house.
- Roger.
Stay up there!
I'll kill him.
- You stay there ... Shut up!
- He's getting away.
He's getting away.
- I told you to stay up there.
- The gun is pointing to his head.
- I'll kill the kid.
- Take me instead.
Why would I want you?
Get down!
You need a hostage.
I'm worth more than the boy.
- Get down on the ground.
- I'm worth more than the boy.
- Shut up!
- Take me instead.
What is it that you don't ..?
We're going home now.
We're going home to your dad.
- Are you okay, Johan?
- Yes.
It's all over very soon, sweetheart.
- Where was he?
- At David's.
It was David all along.
You're not ill.
He gave you pain-inducing pills
and faked the X-rays.
You're all clear.
Give me Sebastian,
and you'll get your son.
Go to Uri.
I love you.
Thomas!
Thanks.
Come.
- How did it go?
- We cleared the club.
We have the entire gang
except for Jacov and Sebastian.
We'll never find them in Russia.
We found the murder weapon
at David's private address -
- so he will be charged
with Carsten's murder.
Thomas?
- You'll get a report in two ...
- Don't worry about all that.
- Well done.
- Thank you.
Manse, let's go and get mum
and then we're going home.
- Are you still undercover?
- No, it's over. All over.
What are you doing?
Don't you have work to do?
The work won't go away by itself.
Get busy. Unbelievable!
