Those Who Kill (2011–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Ondt blod, del 1 - full transcript
-Jens?
- Yes.
- Did you make it home okay last Friday?
- Yes. Why?
And Pia from accountancy happened
to be going the same way?
That's me for you.
The girls know who to pick.
- So why didn't she go with me?
- Don't they call you 'little Niels'?
- You missed!
- Will you fix it for me?
- Then you owe me one... more.
- Alright, I owe you one more then.
- What's up?
- Come out here and have a look.
For God's sake, you lazy pile of shit!
So?
It can't be that heavy. We...
HOMICIDE
POLICE
DEADLY GAME
- What have we got?
- Young woman in a bin bag, cut up.
A witness saw a man
leaving from here very early.
- Tire prints?
- They're probably of no use.
- How did he get in?
- He went from there to here.
Please take some photos
of the bystanders.
After passing the security guards
he walked undisturbed through here.
He walked down here and up the skidway.
- The dead body was found here.
- By the witness?
He's right here. Meet Katrine Ries,
leader of the investigation.
- What did you see exactly?
- A guy in a black hoodie.
With the hood up and a baseball basket.
- Age?
- 30-40... I couldn't see his face.
- Did you notice the make of his car?
- It was black.
- Expensive? Cheap?
- One you can deduct for tax purposes.
How did he come across to you?
Nervous or in a panic..?
He just went into his car and took off.
- How often do you miss?
- Very rarely.
If I had not missed,
I would never have found that dead body.
Thank you very much.
Maybe it was a couple fighting...
thanks... and she triggered something?
- It's a possibility.
- Statistically possible at any rate.
Is that for me? Thanks.
- The bit about the cut-up dead body...
- We won't tell the reporters.
- We don't want them here.
- But also because...
- Her relatives should hear it from us.
- Good.
- How long?
- At least a week since the murder.
- Any signs of sexual abuse?
- No.
Immediately after being strangled, the
victim was cut up with an electric saw.
It could seem that the body parts
had been compressed and hidden away.
The face was disfigured by a blunt tool,
so forget about dental records.
- How about rings and jewels?
- Removed.
The killer has removed some skin
from the ankle and the shoulder.
Maybe to remove
some distinctive features.
- Molbeck, any possible victims?
- None.
- There must be some.
- A 32-year-old man is missing.
And a 65-year-old, 17 stone,
mentally handicapped woman.
- As well as a 20-year-old Maria.
- Could it be her?
- Asian.
- Good.
The dead body has been cut up
calmly and carefully, with steady hands.
Legs, abdomen, torso, arms...
Precisely 38 cm each.
- Any DNA or fibres?
- Light woollen fibres and grey fibres.
They have been forwarded.
We cannot identify her.
Any clues from the dead body?
The broken set of teeth is of no use,
but there are many patchy fillings.
- Meaning?
- They were probably not made in Denmark.
Her features look Caucasian.
- Possibly Russian or eastern European.
- Thanks, Mia.
- She was not a girlfriend, was she?
- No, definitely not.
- How can he be so calm?
- Good question.
Soldiers at war fall into three categories:
Those who never kill anyone
because they haven't got it in them.
Those who learn to kill
after thorough training.
And, lastly, the smallest category,
the ice-cold killers.
They will shoot someone just like that.
They're not affected by it.
- Is that our man?
- I think so.
The time spent on the corpse indicates
that we have not seen his last move yet.
- Fancy going out for a beer?
- I have to pick up my son.
Happy hunting.
- Have a nice evening.
- You too.
It's my prize teddy bear. Frederik
got injured during today's training.
I wanted to pass it to him, but instead
I strike gold. Right into the corner.
- Even the goalie was surprised.
- Maybe it's just your lucky day.
Can I buy you a drink?
A Filur?
- What's next!
- Filur sounds good to me.
Next you'll be having a Tequila Slammer
or a Galliano Hotshot.
- Have we met?
- I don't think so.
- Are you with the police force?
- No.
You're a lawyer!
You got that immigrant released.
- Well done.
- The same to you.
- Simon.
- Katrine.
- What are you having?
- Two draught beer, please.
I didn't know what to do.
I had done all that I possibly could.
And yet my gut feeling was screaming
at me that he didn't do it.
- That's when you need hard evidence.
- I spent half a year finding it.
Yes, I can imagine.
- I really have to go home now, so...
- Okay.
- What are you thinking of?
- Nothing.
- The bathroom is out there.
- Okay.
- My guests don't normally stay over.
- That'll please my wife and daughter.
Okay! Right.
Exciting.
- But surely we can have a bonus round?
- You must be starved.
- As I said, I'm married.
- You poor thing.
- How about some new furniture?
- Mum and I have to split the old first.
- But in three months I'll buy a flat.
- Okay.
Your room and my room
will be just like before.
- How is mum?
- I'm not talking about her boyfriend.
- Ask her yourself.
- I just wondered if she was okay.
- I think she is with Pelle from school.
- Pelle?
- She can do better than that.
- I agree.
- Are we off?
- Yes.
- Do I pick you up again on Wednesday?
- That would be cool.
Pelle?
- Any news, Molbeck?
- Nothing.
- Girl from Eastern Europe. Prostitute?
- We already tried that.
Alright. What then?
- Business woman?
- Buy a wife.
Au pair.
They travel a lot
and can easily disappear.
There are four or five bureaus
in Denmark.
Let's find a family with an au pair
that left a little too soon.
Molbeck here. Find out if any girls are
reported missing at the au pair bureaus.
We will now question Cecilie Langkilde.
In attendance are -
- forensic psychiatrist T. Schaeffer
and chief inspector K. Jensen.
- How long has Beate lived with you?
- She arrived eight months ago.
- When did you last see her?
- Last Friday at around four.
- We had a small argument.
- About what?
Cleaning the table once a week
was all she could be bothered to do.
- So she was angry when she left?
- Yes. And went back to Ukraine.
- Is it this girl?
- Yes.
Only she has had her hair died in
a naff Eastern European way since then.
She has a tattoo on her right ankle.
- Has something happened to her?
- Yes.
Our forensic psychiatrist,
Thomas Schaeffer.
- Hi. I'm Margrethe.
- Hi. Thomas.
- Please have a seat.
- Thanks.
Margrethe, I'm sorry to inform you
that Beate has been found dead.
Oh, no...
No!
She has been killed.
It happened last Friday.
She was strangled.
Some water?
I'm going to ask you a few questions.
Did you and Beate see each other often?
Mostly when we went out.
- Where did you go out?
- McGrath's, Streckers, Hard Rock Cafe.
Always in the city centre?
- Did she have a boyfriend or a friend?
- I don't think so. Not at the time.
- Did you see her last Friday?
- No.
I... talked to her Thursday evening.
- What did you talk about?
- She missed her family.
So Beate has just run away
with no place to be.
It will be a few days
before she can go to Ukraine.
They meet here
in the vicinity of the town hall square.
Whether they had a date or not,
he manages to get her into the car. Mia?
These fibres are from the victim's neck.
They probably come from a car seat.
- Where he puts on his gloves?
- Presumably. No DNA or finger prints.
They are strangled in the car,
cut up and put into bin bags.
The grey fibres are from the bin bag,
which was then placed in a bag.
A week later
it is dumped at the incineration plant.
When he is certain that all potential
witnesses have forgotten about it.
Is that all you've got?
They meet centrally,
so does he live there?
- It's possible.
- No, he's too clever. He's a commuter.
Drives into town, kills, drives back.
Dumps the dead body, goes back.
- How is his everyday life?
- Normal.
But the car is expensive. Whether it's
rented or his own, it's fancy and black.
It has to look good. He meets the victim
after work. He has a regular job.
And friends and maybe a family.
Like all sociopaths he's an expert at
making things look good on the surface.
- Why is he doing it?
- Why indeed?
Cutting them into 20 parts.
He's turned on by omnipotence.
Not by the killing itself, but by the
careful planning and execution of it.
- Could there be more?
- No. He made beginner's errors.
The worst being the witness at
the plant. He'll correct it next time.
- Okay, listen... What's our next move?
- Checking the bars.
- I'll do that.
- It's a waste of time.
- And Ukraine?
- We have contacted them and...
- That's a waste of time, too.
- Why don't you just write the details?
Of the killer. Whenever you know.
Just drop them in the pigeon-hole.
Then we can all save ourselves
the trouble of doing stupid police work.
Follow up on Ukraine.
Unbelievable!
I'll check her mobile.
You'll look at her things.
She has used the mobile a lot.
Have you found anything?
A normal, young girl
with a romantic disposition.
But an easy victim.
Almost too easy for our ambitious friend.
- Katrine speaking.
- Simon here. It was great seeing you.
- You too.
- I will be training after work.
- Do you want to come?
- Fitness centres are not my thing.
Who's talking about fitness centres?
- Don't look down.
- I have to see where I put my foot.
Look up.
You need to reach this one.
- Like that?
- Yes. It's great, isn't it?
But now our ropes are entangled.
Fuck! What now?
Simon, what do I do now?
- What are you doing?
- Just hold this. Nice and easy.
Hello! Please attach the rope again!
What are you doing?
Attach that rope again.
Hey! Will you listen to me?
That's it.
Very good!
Better than a fitness centre, eh?
- You could have broken your back.
- Should I just leave you hanging?
It's like approaching the most beautiful
woman in the bar. Sometimes it pays off.
- What are you trying to achieve?
- Do you want me to stop?
What's this?
- Were we not keeping this to ourselves?
- Yes.
So who made this idiotic blunder?
With all that psycho-nonsense.
Anything to do with you, Thomas?
- Me?
- Who else could it be?
- Bisgaard!
- Well, someone must have told him.
Yes, who gave this information to the
journalist? Not necessarily the police.
I'll try to contact the journalist.
- You go too far.
- What do you mean?
Thomas would never leak anything.
He doesn't even tell us what he's up to.
- Really?
- He has saved us so many times.
- You'll scare him off soon.
- I just had to see if he did it.
He's quite distant, so I keep him
on a short leash. It got him thinking.
I'm glad you're not an item.
Sometimes, you really go too far.
S?ren Mogensen?
Don't worry about it.
- Thomas Schaeffer. Let's go in here.
- Yes, okay.
- So, have you caught him yet?
- I'm afraid not.
So I guess you're without a clue?
Before you continue, I would
like to know who told you this.
CUT-UP VICTIM
HORRIFIES POLICE
Sorry. Source protection.
We might need more gossip some day.
- Do you mind?
- No.
Thomas speaking.
Hello.
Really?
That's good news.
Can I call you back later? Thanks. Bye.
Sorry about that.
Who was that?
This is a good story for you.
It sells.
What if you're the first we contact if
we find more bodies or catch the killer?
Oops.
You can see, but you cannot touch.
Our reception got this phone call
yesterday morning.
"Anonymous policeman has tip regarding
murder. Cut-up dead body. Investigate."
Thank you very much.
Let me see you out.
- What was that phone call about?
- Good news.
- I sold my house.
- Well... Congratulations.
Daniel, will you show S?ren out?
- Thanks for coming. Take care.
- Yes, bye.
Molbeck, I need some phone numbers.
They receive 50 calls an hour. If they
entered the news item at 9.30 a.m. -
- the call must have come in during
the morning shift between 3.30 and 6.30.
Stop! 0603. Some calls
to Beate's mobile were untraceable.
- Mobile with top-up card.
- 24802118.
It's him.
Our killer called the newspaper.
- Promise me it won't crash.
- It finds three communication towers.
Then it triangulates the call. Katrine
must keep it going for 45 seconds.
- Have you tested it?
- Yes.
It's a beta version.
- What now?
- It's fine. We'll call again tomorrow.
- Why should he talk to us tomorrow?
- Eddie Lavage.
An American, who in 1998 kept contacting
the police with information about a case.
They run around like mad only to realize
that Eddie killed the seven prostitutes.
Paul Johnson, weapons expert.
Investigates three assassinations.
Which he committed himself.
And Erhard Elmich starts a support group
for three men killed in Cologne.
It's a daily event in the media
until he confesses that he did it.
Typical post offence behaviour in
killers with a strong need for control.
They mess up investigations with false
leads and visits to the crime scene.
- So we must register all witnesses?
- Yes. Name and photo.
Thomas? You have a visitor.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I thought it might be a good idea
to run through it first.
Let's sign it
when we're with the estate agent.
- Do you want some coffee?
- No, thanks.
- How are you doing?
- I'm doing okay.
Everything much as usual?
- Did Johan talk about Pelle?
- He just mentioned it.
- You don't have to talk about it.
- There isn't much to say, really.
It wasn't quite what I was hoping for.
- We need to discuss the furniture.
- Yes.
I'm still very fond of the dining table.
You can pick and choose, Benedicte.
None of it is important to me.
It's nice that Johan seems happy.
Is there something wrong?
- I can't seem to make things work out.
- No...
It's just something one goes through,
and then everything will be fine again.
Actually, I was quite happy
with what I had.
I've had a shitty day.
See you there.
Thomas..?
I just wanted to say
that earlier today...
- I guess I went a little too far.
- Oh, that.
It's not that I don't trust you. I trust
everyone here. One hundred percent.
If not, you wouldn't be here.
But you're the one I know the least.
Also, I have to admit
that your methods...
- Your methods... Are you listening?
- I'm sorry.
- My divorce is taking its toll on me.
- Are you getting a divorce?
- Well, that can be... pretty ugly.
- Yes.
Well, I'm glad we had this little talk.
Keep your chin up. See you tomorrow.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
Hello?
Earth calling.
I'm getting very fond of you.
Probably too fond of you
for this to be a good idea.
- Why?
- You're married.
- I feel so guilty.
- Don't!
- But I do.
- It's too late for that.
My wife and I split last Monday.
It has nothing to do with you.
It has been long underway.
Really long. Okay?
Okay.
The subscriber you have dialled
is not available at present.
- It's hopeless. He won't pick up.
- Try again.
We're through.
- Hello?
- Hello, Lise Hansen from Tele 2.
- Yes, hi.
- You have a top-up account with us.
We currently have a very good deal
for top-up account holders.
- Don't crash.
- We cherish our top-up account holders.
This is why we have come up
with a new deal.
- With that our customers get a free...
- It's coming from the police station.
- Are you sure it's working?
- It must have traced her mobile.
I would like to tell you about a...
KEEP TALKING
... a highly attractive offer
with many advantages.
It's tracing his mobile now.
- Hello?
- Hello.
- Say hello to Thomas from me.
- Sorry?
Do you need some help, Thomas?
You fail to impress me.
- It's Lise Hansen from Tele 2.
- You want to know where, how, who, why.
I'll tell you why: Because I can.
The rest is for you to find out. I was
the only one to hear her screaming.
Five seconds.
This is the last time you'll talk to me.
- What happened?
- We traced your mobile instead.
We were so close.
- I'll try again.
- That won't help.
Could we listen to what we've got?
Hello?
Say hello to Thomas from me.
- How does he know you?
- He must have guessed.
Do you need some help, Thomas?
You fail to impress me.
Stop! Rewind.
- You fail to impress me.
- There's a background noise.
- You fail to impress me.
- A car.
- It sounds like an underground car park.
- You fail to impress me.
There!
- Tracing your mobile didn't make sense.
- He's bold.
- Maybe it's the last we've seen of him.
- Just the last we've heard from him.
Well, maybe that was it?
Right, I have an urge for omnipotence.
I get high on manipulation and control.
I just fooled the police.
Have I lost my self-confidence?
- No.
- It's almost too easy now.
I can easily get away with one more.
I hope I'm wrong.
So who was the guy
you talked to yesterday?
- That's just someone I'm seeing.
- What kind of guy is he?
He is... He's charming.
He's very different from all others I've
known. We have so much fun together.
- He's married.
- Oh!
- And what's that supposed to mean?
- Let me guess.
He says that things don't work out
so well between him and his wife.
And he's getting a divorce,
but he just needs to...
- Are you jealous?
- Very. But I'm working on it.
Listen, I'm happy. Finally I'm
with someone who makes me happy.
- Please be a little happy for me.
- Sure. Let's hope his family is, too.
At Gertrud's birthday, we did a treasure
hunt and were divided into two teams.
We were on a huge playground
and suddenly I find all the sweets.
- Then I shouted : I found the sweets!
- She has her victorious streak from me.
Lise totally freaked out.
Such a bad loser.
- She needs to run faster.
- Yes, honestly.
- I'm sorry, but I have to dash.
- That's perfectly alright.
Why don't we go out for dinner tomorrow?
Stephan could look after Mathilde...
- Let's see. Just win that case.
- Yes.
- See you.
- Bye.
- Hi, Lone.
- Hi, Nikolaj.
- Do I sit down here?
- Yes, by all means.
- It's good to see you in real life.
- You too.
- Drinks! What are you having?
- I would like some red wine.
- Shall we?
- Yes.
She tries to make up for it, and then
there's this private party musician -
- hammering away at his Hammond organ.
She goes up to him
while he's strumming away and then...
- Is it okay if I pick up something here?
- Yes, sure.
So she goes up to this musician
and asks for a birthday song -
- that she wants to sing
for the birthday child, Elsebeth.
They add these funky drums -
- and then she goes up to sing
'Happy Birthday to You.'
Happy Birthday to You.
Happy Birthday... wait for it...
... dear Elisabeth.
That's so hilarious!
Actually, it reminds me of...
When my grandparents
celebrated their silver anniversary -
- someone had bought them a song,
so when we...
No! No!
- Katrine speaking.
- We have another one.
We have a new, cut-up dead body.
Thomas is on his way, too.
I'll be right there.
She was dumped in a skip
behind a supermarket.
- Who is she?
- I'll be talking to her friend.
- Who found her?
- You're not going to believe this.
- S?ren.
- Hi.
- Hello.
- Hi.
- How did you find her?
- There was a new message this morning.
It told me to find this skip. I thought
the place would be swarming with police.
- Then you poked about in the skip?
- And found a black bin liner with meat.
- That is, it wasn't...
- Can I borrow Thomas for a sec?
No matter what we do,
this will make it into the news.
It's not that.
Molbeck said the killer recognised you.
Anyone can google that.
- You've got a license, right?
- What's this?
People like you are not normally armed,
but in this case it might be a good idea.
- I'm more at risk with one of these.
- Perhaps, but that's not up to you.
- Please sign for it before leaving.
- Sure.
And... if you keep it under your pillow
tonight, make sure to put it at safety.
And no hanky panky.
It's state property.
The victim is Lone Engelbrecht, 37,
external lecturer in German.
- And her private life?
- Single. Short relationships.
- Lonely? Happy?
- Her friend described her as desperate.
- Who reported her missing?
- Her friend.
- She didn't return from her holidays.
- Someone not reported missing at once.
He's getting more refined. To avoid
being seen he hands us the dead body.
Execution?
It's the same man. Surgical precision.
- Any signs of sexual abuse this time?
- No. None.
- What does he get out of it?
- Showing off and testing his limits.
Have you ever imagined robbing a bank
or being unfaithful or really mean?
It's the same situation,
only much worse.
The victims are completely irrelevant
to him. They're mere garbage.
They're very different.
This one is a high risk victim.
She's alone, foreign, with no friends.
This one is a well-educated,
sound high earner.
She was enthusiastic
about a guy she met online.
That might be him. This is how
he knows she's going on holiday.
- I'll check her computer.
- That's super.
- Hi! Why are you not at work?
- I wanted a shower before the meeting.
- What are you doing here?
- A shower?
I got a call from the school.
Mathilde is sick.
- What's in the bag?
- Just some tools.
- Can I see them?
- No.
- No? Why not?
- You just can't.
Come on, let me see them.
Don't be ridiculous.
Listen. You really don't
want to know what's in the bag.
- Let me see...
- What day is it on Thursday?
- No idea.
- 14 years since we first met.
- You made me really nervous.
- Congratulations.
- How beautiful!
- It has not been wrapped, but...
It's really beautiful.
I'm so sorry, honey. Thank you.
Why is it always so dark down here?
I'll check on Mathilde again.
I don't have any more.
She was using singlesforum.dk,
but her profile has been deleted.
- What have we got here?
- What is it?
Come and have a look, Katrine.
She has kept all mails on her hard disk.
- Perfect!
- Would you like a copy?
- Has he really made all this up?
- Oh, yes.
- His songwriting and the ill sister?
- Yes, after Lone told of her ill mum.
This expression appears three times now:
'very goud.'
Those spelling mistakes must be a con.
I think he ran a macro.
We must look for words
that the spellchecker won't find -
- words he combines in funny ways,
expressions...
Here's one. He called her "absolutely
bloody fantastic" several times.
That's what we're looking for.
"You're a dazzling explosion
in cosmos behind my eyelids."
He has a good imagination.
Here's an address.
"Try Sundkrogsgade 34.
They have the best in town."
- "Say my name and you get a discount."
- What are you talking about?
We need her e-mails. It's a wine shop
north of Copenhagen.
Stop the car! Pull in here.
- Something is not right.
- What?
He has spent months creating a false
identity, even false spelling mistakes.
Why should he suddenly
give us an address?
What does he know? That we have found
and possibly identified the dead body.
- What doesn't he know?
- If we can access his e-mail.
So he mentions an address
where he can check if we're coming.
If I were to look out for someone,
it would be from up there.
Hello?
Katrine?
It was probably the pigeons.
- How..? Thank you.
- Let's go down again.
The vintner had no clue
what I was on about.
This is just some random place.
It's totally irrelevant.
It still doesn't make sense.
- Did you get in here, too?
- Yes, but the door was open.
Hello.
A ginger ale, please.
Thank you.
- Oh, shit!
- Let me.
- Here you are.
- Thank you.
- Into the bag?
- Yes, please. Thanks again.
- This is not taken, if you want it.
- Is that okay? Thanks.
- Excuse me, are you with KL Insurance?
- Yes.
Do you know a girl called Mette Honor??
- We were next to each other at a party.
- How funny.
- She's a really nice girl.
- Yes, very.
- Sebastian.
- Signe.
- You're not with KL, are you?
- No.
What do you do then?
Me back in the car trying to ignite it,
but it's still completely dead.
The car off to the garage and there goes
my meeting. Not the greatest start.
- Listen... what are you doing tonight?
- Nothing much really.
But I may have to tell you
that I'm into girls.
- Alright.
- So...
- I just wondered if you needed a lift?
- Oh!
But that's nice to know.
Well, if you're going that way anyhow,
then yes please.
- Be my guest.
- Thank you.
- There you go.
- Thanks.
- Signe?
- Hi, Nete!
Good to see you.
Meet Sebastian.
- Hi.
- Nete.
And what have we got here?
How gorgeous.
- And Lee?
- I'm seeing him tomorrow.
- Give me a call and I'll join you.
- That would be great.
What the hell?
I was supposed to get a lift.
- Are there no buses?
- I think they're on strike.
- I can give you a lift into town.
- Fantastic. You rule.
- Sebastian.
- Pede.
(Colleagues sing Danish birthday song)
- Thank you.
- Cause you're so foxy, foxy...
- How old are you then?
- 27.
- Again.
- Why yes!
- A camera. For me, not crime tech?
- That's an ace camera.
- It's a Sony.
- It was Molbeck's idea.
- Thank you so much.
- You'll love it.
I can't seem to open it.
It's just too technical for me.
- She has ten cameras already.
- This one is with Bluetooth.
- Not what you wanted, was it?
- It's a fine camera.
- Let's take a photo.
- Yes, sure.
Le chicas.
And then you say 'foxy.'
- Check this out.
- You are foxy, aren't you?
- Is it because of your new flirt?
- I think he's more than that.
- Were you with him when I called you?
- Correct.
So he's staying the night.
- Am I going to meet this guy then?
- Yes.
- Here he is.
- You're kidding me.
- Good to see you. This is where I work.
- It's a big place.
- Come in.
- It looks great.
- Hello. My name is Simon.
- Who the hell are you?
This is my... This is Simon.
- I see. Welcome.
- Thank you.
Yes, well...
Listen, everybody!
Another ten minutes
and then it's back to work.
I got you there, didn't I?
I thought you were too smart for that.
Happy birthday. I have to go.
But clear up after yourselves.
I don't want any mess tomorrow.
- That was my boss.
- Friendly fellow.
- Molbeck, chief inspector like myself.
- Stig.
- Mia from Crime Tech.
- The birthday child?
- Who turns 27 today.
- My guess exactly.
- I have heard so much about you.
- Likewise. Or...
- And Thomas, forensic psychiatrist.
- Thomas?
- Simon.
- Thomas.
So are you dealing with the case
involving that guy with the saw?
Yes, I do. As it happens.
- What is he like then?
- The guy with the saw?
In short: a control freak
and megalomaniac sociopath.
- Did his potty training go wrong?
- He rather wet his bed for too long.
He appears normal, but is driven by an
urge to live out these weird fantasies.
No doubt his mother was domineering,
turning the poor guy into a misogynist.
- You must be about to arrest him?
- It won't be long.
- Cheers!
- Yes, cheers!
Had I known this was a birthday,
I would have brought a gift or flowers.
- Well, the gift is from me, too.
- Thanks.
Shall we take one more photo?
With Mia in the centre. That's it.
- Katrine, have you got a spare minute?
- Yes, of course.
- How about the meeting room?
- No problems.
- What's up?
- This guy, Simon...
- How long have you been seeing him?
- Why?
- Does he call and text you a lot?
- Yes.
- Do you do adventurous things together?
- What are your trying to say?
It's just that I noticed some things
at the party. Maybe you noticed, too?
He broke people's privacy sphere, and in
no time he was the centre of attention.
- I believe the term is extrovert.
- Or deviant personality.
- Are you calling my boyfriend deranged?
- I'm just telling you to be careful.
We have another dead body.
At a lay-by.
It's a young man this time.
And we have a witness right now.
Meet Katrine Ries, head of the
investigations, and Thomas Schaeffer.
- Jesper.
- Thomas.
- Please tell us what you saw.
- I didn't see that much, really.
I was walking my dog and saw a guy
at the bus stop. A black Audi pulls up.
I thought it might be dodgy business.
Then he jumped in and they drove off.
- Are you sure it was a black Audi?
- Absolutely. The new A4.
I'm considering buying a car,
so I know the model.
- Did you see the driver?
- Not really, but he wore a suit.
- Did he see you?
- I don't think so.
- Any other witnesses?
- Not a soul.
- None whatsoever?
- My dog.
That explains it. With no witnesses, why
take the risk of storing the dead body?
- Why a man?
- The interesting question is where?
He meets Beate here
and dumps her there.
He meets Lone here or here.
We find her there.
But now they meet here.
We find him there.
Random meeting, random sex,
random victim. It's a plan B.
- And plan A?
- His usual method, which failed.
He must have gone from here to there
yesterday between 6 and 7 p.m.
- Any details of his vehicle?
- A black Audi.
We're trying to trace it,
but there are many black Audis.
We need to carry out a thorough search
here. Cafes, bars, security cameras...
He was there between 6 and 7 p.m.
- How many do you need?
- 20.
- Right. I'll see what I can do.
- There went my dinner date.
- Have you done your homework?
- No.
- Hello?
- Hi, dad.
- Why not?
- I can't be bothered.
- What are you doing?
- Relaxing.
- I want a bracelet like that, too.
- Yes, dad has surprisingly good taste.
Getting it was pretty difficult, too.
I detect some female guidance.
Perhaps your secretary?
- Dad, have a look at my disco dress.
- Does it have to be now?
- It's really nice now.
- Okay.
Simon?
Oh, well...
- Hello?
- Hello. Is this Simon's phone?
Yes it is. Who's speaking?
Hello?
Simon?
- A new black Audi A4 at around 6 p.m.
- That one?
The camera is in a jewellery shop.
Not entirely legal.
- When does it leave again?
- Shortly.
But something interesting happens
one minute before he leaves.
Fancy woman approaching.
Quality boots.
Gets into the car. No, meets a friend.
"Hello. Hello."
She says hello to him.
And he's off. That's him
and that's our victim. Where was this?
Opposite Cafe Saint Michel.
The bartender is no help.
- But two witnesses have seen him.
- Check all the credit card payments.
Is that clock correct?
Shit!
Hello?
Sorry I'm late.
- Is the estate agent not here yet?
- No.
That's her.
Thomas Schaeffer speaking. Hello.
Oh dear... Okay.
Well... Hang on for a sec. She has
to cancel. Is Monday okay with you?
- That's fine, I think.
- Sure? That would be fine.
Of course it's not your fault.
Okay, that's fine. Bye.
- Have you had dinner yet?
- No.
- How about a last meal in this place?
- Don't you have to work?
- I could do with a night off.
- Okay.
- It's just like old days.
-Yes.
So he cancelled the party
in order to see the football match.
- Which didn't exactly impress the girls.
- Try this.
- Mm.
- Mm?
- Does it ring a bell?
- Should it?
- Don't you remember?
- No. What is it?
- The hall of residence.
- When you took me to that lecture?
No, when we came back from M?n's Cliff.
In that case we ought
to have avocados as a starter.
- Whoops.
- Voil?!
I remember everything
... apart from buying enough wine.
- We have the port from the sauce.
- Fine.
It's old-fashioned, but good.
Please sit down.
Why didn't we do this more often?
I think we forgot it.
- I forgot the wine.
- Let me get it.
No, I'm the host tonight.
Are you sure you want to do this?
- I spoke to your wife.
- Yes.
- I thought you had left her?
- I have.
I was there to pick up some furniture
and took off my coat.
I was moving a large cupboard
when the mobile rang. She answered it.
I'm really sorry
that you got mixed up in all this.
It's a tough period.
My daughter is so unhappy.
I'm sorry. Of course it is.
Do you know what I would like to do now?
Just going off somewhere with you.
- Just a small trip tomorrow.
- I may get called in for work.
- I guess...
- But I would love to.
Come here.
Are you ready? Someone used a
credit card at the cafe at around 6 p.m.
Hi. Signe M?lgaard?
I'm Stig Molbeck, chief inspector.
- This is Thomas Schaeffer.
- Hi.
So you want to know
how I used my credit card yesterday?
Please follow me... Mia?
Did you meet someone offering a lift?
Hey!
- You look good.
- What are we doing?
- I want to surprise you.
- I see.
Let me get this for you.
You don't need anything in it, do you?
- Switch it off, will you?
- Okay. Done.
No.
- No.
- Sure? It's tricky with the helmet.
I know, but no.
Let us know if anything
resembles him or something.
He's definitely younger than this man.
- No, but the hair is a bit similar.
- How?
Similar high temples.
But it's not him.
No. He was more styled.
Neater.
- Could you be a bit more specific?
- He wore a suit.
Alright...
- Could I have some water or coffee?
- Come with me, please.
I'm looking forward to this.
- How long have you had this car?
- A couple of months. It's brand new.
I'm really looking forward to this.
I promise that we'll have
an absolutely bloody fantastic day.
And the smallest category,
which will shoot someone just like that.
- Are you sure it was a black Audi?
- Yes. The A4.
- The victims are mere garbage.
- Say hello to Thomas from me.
He appears normal, but is driven by an
urge to live out these weird fantasies.
They are strangled in the car,
cut up and put into bin bags.
- I'm afraid we need precise details.
- Yes, of course.
The most irritating part is
that I know we've met him.
- Crazy thought that I was about to...
- Yes, it sure is.
- It's no use. She can't remember it.
- Luckily, you didn't get into that car.
Unbelievable! How difficult can it be
to describe a man she was talking to?
- What is it?
- It's him.
I just need to pick up a few things.
- Anything to do with the surprise?
- You could say that.
- Is that okay?
- Yes, sure.
- What have we got?
- She's not answering.
- Doesn't anybody know anything?
- They were off on a small trip today.
A trip. Great!
Have we talked to her yet? No.
And our cars?
Nothing.
His family?
Let me know when you've got something.
- Katrine's neighbours?
- Nothing.
I can't believe it.
You don't know a damned thing!
This is what we'll do: All our cars
will stop each and every black Audi A4.
Okay?
Get moving!
- I won't be a second.
- That's fine.
Molbeck!
They're on Glentevej 12.
- Do you know Munkebo Inn?
- I don't think so.
- I guess that's not it then.
- What?
I guess that's not
where we're going then.
- What are you doing?
- Just getting something from the bag.
- How long will you be?
- I'll be right with you.
Hold it! Katrine?
Are you okay? Katrine?
Come.
- Katrine!
- You psycho!
His name is Bobo.
Do you know him?
I hope the clown I hired
for my son's birthday isn't too happy.
- There she is!
- Hi.
- Good to see you.
- You too.
- Hi.
- I'm glad you're back.
They're from me.
You know where to find me.
- See you tomorrow.
- Bye.
- Is everything all right?
- Yes.
- Back when I just started...
- Bisgaard?
This one... Please take it back.
- Thank you for lending it to me.
- That's okay.
Well... Nice work!
- How are you?
- Fine.
- I got a few bruises, but that's it.
- And how's your head?
I guess dating a serial killer isn't the
best basis for a long-term relationship.
- I should have seen it coming.
- I thought you were jealous.
I was. Very much so.
- Are you going out?
- I have a date. I'm taking the chance.
- Stay away from married people.
- No problem. This one is divorced.
- Are you sure?
- Divorced from me, so I'm pretty sure.
The End @
S1E05
- Yes.
- Did you make it home okay last Friday?
- Yes. Why?
And Pia from accountancy happened
to be going the same way?
That's me for you.
The girls know who to pick.
- So why didn't she go with me?
- Don't they call you 'little Niels'?
- You missed!
- Will you fix it for me?
- Then you owe me one... more.
- Alright, I owe you one more then.
- What's up?
- Come out here and have a look.
For God's sake, you lazy pile of shit!
So?
It can't be that heavy. We...
HOMICIDE
POLICE
DEADLY GAME
- What have we got?
- Young woman in a bin bag, cut up.
A witness saw a man
leaving from here very early.
- Tire prints?
- They're probably of no use.
- How did he get in?
- He went from there to here.
Please take some photos
of the bystanders.
After passing the security guards
he walked undisturbed through here.
He walked down here and up the skidway.
- The dead body was found here.
- By the witness?
He's right here. Meet Katrine Ries,
leader of the investigation.
- What did you see exactly?
- A guy in a black hoodie.
With the hood up and a baseball basket.
- Age?
- 30-40... I couldn't see his face.
- Did you notice the make of his car?
- It was black.
- Expensive? Cheap?
- One you can deduct for tax purposes.
How did he come across to you?
Nervous or in a panic..?
He just went into his car and took off.
- How often do you miss?
- Very rarely.
If I had not missed,
I would never have found that dead body.
Thank you very much.
Maybe it was a couple fighting...
thanks... and she triggered something?
- It's a possibility.
- Statistically possible at any rate.
Is that for me? Thanks.
- The bit about the cut-up dead body...
- We won't tell the reporters.
- We don't want them here.
- But also because...
- Her relatives should hear it from us.
- Good.
- How long?
- At least a week since the murder.
- Any signs of sexual abuse?
- No.
Immediately after being strangled, the
victim was cut up with an electric saw.
It could seem that the body parts
had been compressed and hidden away.
The face was disfigured by a blunt tool,
so forget about dental records.
- How about rings and jewels?
- Removed.
The killer has removed some skin
from the ankle and the shoulder.
Maybe to remove
some distinctive features.
- Molbeck, any possible victims?
- None.
- There must be some.
- A 32-year-old man is missing.
And a 65-year-old, 17 stone,
mentally handicapped woman.
- As well as a 20-year-old Maria.
- Could it be her?
- Asian.
- Good.
The dead body has been cut up
calmly and carefully, with steady hands.
Legs, abdomen, torso, arms...
Precisely 38 cm each.
- Any DNA or fibres?
- Light woollen fibres and grey fibres.
They have been forwarded.
We cannot identify her.
Any clues from the dead body?
The broken set of teeth is of no use,
but there are many patchy fillings.
- Meaning?
- They were probably not made in Denmark.
Her features look Caucasian.
- Possibly Russian or eastern European.
- Thanks, Mia.
- She was not a girlfriend, was she?
- No, definitely not.
- How can he be so calm?
- Good question.
Soldiers at war fall into three categories:
Those who never kill anyone
because they haven't got it in them.
Those who learn to kill
after thorough training.
And, lastly, the smallest category,
the ice-cold killers.
They will shoot someone just like that.
They're not affected by it.
- Is that our man?
- I think so.
The time spent on the corpse indicates
that we have not seen his last move yet.
- Fancy going out for a beer?
- I have to pick up my son.
Happy hunting.
- Have a nice evening.
- You too.
It's my prize teddy bear. Frederik
got injured during today's training.
I wanted to pass it to him, but instead
I strike gold. Right into the corner.
- Even the goalie was surprised.
- Maybe it's just your lucky day.
Can I buy you a drink?
A Filur?
- What's next!
- Filur sounds good to me.
Next you'll be having a Tequila Slammer
or a Galliano Hotshot.
- Have we met?
- I don't think so.
- Are you with the police force?
- No.
You're a lawyer!
You got that immigrant released.
- Well done.
- The same to you.
- Simon.
- Katrine.
- What are you having?
- Two draught beer, please.
I didn't know what to do.
I had done all that I possibly could.
And yet my gut feeling was screaming
at me that he didn't do it.
- That's when you need hard evidence.
- I spent half a year finding it.
Yes, I can imagine.
- I really have to go home now, so...
- Okay.
- What are you thinking of?
- Nothing.
- The bathroom is out there.
- Okay.
- My guests don't normally stay over.
- That'll please my wife and daughter.
Okay! Right.
Exciting.
- But surely we can have a bonus round?
- You must be starved.
- As I said, I'm married.
- You poor thing.
- How about some new furniture?
- Mum and I have to split the old first.
- But in three months I'll buy a flat.
- Okay.
Your room and my room
will be just like before.
- How is mum?
- I'm not talking about her boyfriend.
- Ask her yourself.
- I just wondered if she was okay.
- I think she is with Pelle from school.
- Pelle?
- She can do better than that.
- I agree.
- Are we off?
- Yes.
- Do I pick you up again on Wednesday?
- That would be cool.
Pelle?
- Any news, Molbeck?
- Nothing.
- Girl from Eastern Europe. Prostitute?
- We already tried that.
Alright. What then?
- Business woman?
- Buy a wife.
Au pair.
They travel a lot
and can easily disappear.
There are four or five bureaus
in Denmark.
Let's find a family with an au pair
that left a little too soon.
Molbeck here. Find out if any girls are
reported missing at the au pair bureaus.
We will now question Cecilie Langkilde.
In attendance are -
- forensic psychiatrist T. Schaeffer
and chief inspector K. Jensen.
- How long has Beate lived with you?
- She arrived eight months ago.
- When did you last see her?
- Last Friday at around four.
- We had a small argument.
- About what?
Cleaning the table once a week
was all she could be bothered to do.
- So she was angry when she left?
- Yes. And went back to Ukraine.
- Is it this girl?
- Yes.
Only she has had her hair died in
a naff Eastern European way since then.
She has a tattoo on her right ankle.
- Has something happened to her?
- Yes.
Our forensic psychiatrist,
Thomas Schaeffer.
- Hi. I'm Margrethe.
- Hi. Thomas.
- Please have a seat.
- Thanks.
Margrethe, I'm sorry to inform you
that Beate has been found dead.
Oh, no...
No!
She has been killed.
It happened last Friday.
She was strangled.
Some water?
I'm going to ask you a few questions.
Did you and Beate see each other often?
Mostly when we went out.
- Where did you go out?
- McGrath's, Streckers, Hard Rock Cafe.
Always in the city centre?
- Did she have a boyfriend or a friend?
- I don't think so. Not at the time.
- Did you see her last Friday?
- No.
I... talked to her Thursday evening.
- What did you talk about?
- She missed her family.
So Beate has just run away
with no place to be.
It will be a few days
before she can go to Ukraine.
They meet here
in the vicinity of the town hall square.
Whether they had a date or not,
he manages to get her into the car. Mia?
These fibres are from the victim's neck.
They probably come from a car seat.
- Where he puts on his gloves?
- Presumably. No DNA or finger prints.
They are strangled in the car,
cut up and put into bin bags.
The grey fibres are from the bin bag,
which was then placed in a bag.
A week later
it is dumped at the incineration plant.
When he is certain that all potential
witnesses have forgotten about it.
Is that all you've got?
They meet centrally,
so does he live there?
- It's possible.
- No, he's too clever. He's a commuter.
Drives into town, kills, drives back.
Dumps the dead body, goes back.
- How is his everyday life?
- Normal.
But the car is expensive. Whether it's
rented or his own, it's fancy and black.
It has to look good. He meets the victim
after work. He has a regular job.
And friends and maybe a family.
Like all sociopaths he's an expert at
making things look good on the surface.
- Why is he doing it?
- Why indeed?
Cutting them into 20 parts.
He's turned on by omnipotence.
Not by the killing itself, but by the
careful planning and execution of it.
- Could there be more?
- No. He made beginner's errors.
The worst being the witness at
the plant. He'll correct it next time.
- Okay, listen... What's our next move?
- Checking the bars.
- I'll do that.
- It's a waste of time.
- And Ukraine?
- We have contacted them and...
- That's a waste of time, too.
- Why don't you just write the details?
Of the killer. Whenever you know.
Just drop them in the pigeon-hole.
Then we can all save ourselves
the trouble of doing stupid police work.
Follow up on Ukraine.
Unbelievable!
I'll check her mobile.
You'll look at her things.
She has used the mobile a lot.
Have you found anything?
A normal, young girl
with a romantic disposition.
But an easy victim.
Almost too easy for our ambitious friend.
- Katrine speaking.
- Simon here. It was great seeing you.
- You too.
- I will be training after work.
- Do you want to come?
- Fitness centres are not my thing.
Who's talking about fitness centres?
- Don't look down.
- I have to see where I put my foot.
Look up.
You need to reach this one.
- Like that?
- Yes. It's great, isn't it?
But now our ropes are entangled.
Fuck! What now?
Simon, what do I do now?
- What are you doing?
- Just hold this. Nice and easy.
Hello! Please attach the rope again!
What are you doing?
Attach that rope again.
Hey! Will you listen to me?
That's it.
Very good!
Better than a fitness centre, eh?
- You could have broken your back.
- Should I just leave you hanging?
It's like approaching the most beautiful
woman in the bar. Sometimes it pays off.
- What are you trying to achieve?
- Do you want me to stop?
What's this?
- Were we not keeping this to ourselves?
- Yes.
So who made this idiotic blunder?
With all that psycho-nonsense.
Anything to do with you, Thomas?
- Me?
- Who else could it be?
- Bisgaard!
- Well, someone must have told him.
Yes, who gave this information to the
journalist? Not necessarily the police.
I'll try to contact the journalist.
- You go too far.
- What do you mean?
Thomas would never leak anything.
He doesn't even tell us what he's up to.
- Really?
- He has saved us so many times.
- You'll scare him off soon.
- I just had to see if he did it.
He's quite distant, so I keep him
on a short leash. It got him thinking.
I'm glad you're not an item.
Sometimes, you really go too far.
S?ren Mogensen?
Don't worry about it.
- Thomas Schaeffer. Let's go in here.
- Yes, okay.
- So, have you caught him yet?
- I'm afraid not.
So I guess you're without a clue?
Before you continue, I would
like to know who told you this.
CUT-UP VICTIM
HORRIFIES POLICE
Sorry. Source protection.
We might need more gossip some day.
- Do you mind?
- No.
Thomas speaking.
Hello.
Really?
That's good news.
Can I call you back later? Thanks. Bye.
Sorry about that.
Who was that?
This is a good story for you.
It sells.
What if you're the first we contact if
we find more bodies or catch the killer?
Oops.
You can see, but you cannot touch.
Our reception got this phone call
yesterday morning.
"Anonymous policeman has tip regarding
murder. Cut-up dead body. Investigate."
Thank you very much.
Let me see you out.
- What was that phone call about?
- Good news.
- I sold my house.
- Well... Congratulations.
Daniel, will you show S?ren out?
- Thanks for coming. Take care.
- Yes, bye.
Molbeck, I need some phone numbers.
They receive 50 calls an hour. If they
entered the news item at 9.30 a.m. -
- the call must have come in during
the morning shift between 3.30 and 6.30.
Stop! 0603. Some calls
to Beate's mobile were untraceable.
- Mobile with top-up card.
- 24802118.
It's him.
Our killer called the newspaper.
- Promise me it won't crash.
- It finds three communication towers.
Then it triangulates the call. Katrine
must keep it going for 45 seconds.
- Have you tested it?
- Yes.
It's a beta version.
- What now?
- It's fine. We'll call again tomorrow.
- Why should he talk to us tomorrow?
- Eddie Lavage.
An American, who in 1998 kept contacting
the police with information about a case.
They run around like mad only to realize
that Eddie killed the seven prostitutes.
Paul Johnson, weapons expert.
Investigates three assassinations.
Which he committed himself.
And Erhard Elmich starts a support group
for three men killed in Cologne.
It's a daily event in the media
until he confesses that he did it.
Typical post offence behaviour in
killers with a strong need for control.
They mess up investigations with false
leads and visits to the crime scene.
- So we must register all witnesses?
- Yes. Name and photo.
Thomas? You have a visitor.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I thought it might be a good idea
to run through it first.
Let's sign it
when we're with the estate agent.
- Do you want some coffee?
- No, thanks.
- How are you doing?
- I'm doing okay.
Everything much as usual?
- Did Johan talk about Pelle?
- He just mentioned it.
- You don't have to talk about it.
- There isn't much to say, really.
It wasn't quite what I was hoping for.
- We need to discuss the furniture.
- Yes.
I'm still very fond of the dining table.
You can pick and choose, Benedicte.
None of it is important to me.
It's nice that Johan seems happy.
Is there something wrong?
- I can't seem to make things work out.
- No...
It's just something one goes through,
and then everything will be fine again.
Actually, I was quite happy
with what I had.
I've had a shitty day.
See you there.
Thomas..?
I just wanted to say
that earlier today...
- I guess I went a little too far.
- Oh, that.
It's not that I don't trust you. I trust
everyone here. One hundred percent.
If not, you wouldn't be here.
But you're the one I know the least.
Also, I have to admit
that your methods...
- Your methods... Are you listening?
- I'm sorry.
- My divorce is taking its toll on me.
- Are you getting a divorce?
- Well, that can be... pretty ugly.
- Yes.
Well, I'm glad we had this little talk.
Keep your chin up. See you tomorrow.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
Hello?
Earth calling.
I'm getting very fond of you.
Probably too fond of you
for this to be a good idea.
- Why?
- You're married.
- I feel so guilty.
- Don't!
- But I do.
- It's too late for that.
My wife and I split last Monday.
It has nothing to do with you.
It has been long underway.
Really long. Okay?
Okay.
The subscriber you have dialled
is not available at present.
- It's hopeless. He won't pick up.
- Try again.
We're through.
- Hello?
- Hello, Lise Hansen from Tele 2.
- Yes, hi.
- You have a top-up account with us.
We currently have a very good deal
for top-up account holders.
- Don't crash.
- We cherish our top-up account holders.
This is why we have come up
with a new deal.
- With that our customers get a free...
- It's coming from the police station.
- Are you sure it's working?
- It must have traced her mobile.
I would like to tell you about a...
KEEP TALKING
... a highly attractive offer
with many advantages.
It's tracing his mobile now.
- Hello?
- Hello.
- Say hello to Thomas from me.
- Sorry?
Do you need some help, Thomas?
You fail to impress me.
- It's Lise Hansen from Tele 2.
- You want to know where, how, who, why.
I'll tell you why: Because I can.
The rest is for you to find out. I was
the only one to hear her screaming.
Five seconds.
This is the last time you'll talk to me.
- What happened?
- We traced your mobile instead.
We were so close.
- I'll try again.
- That won't help.
Could we listen to what we've got?
Hello?
Say hello to Thomas from me.
- How does he know you?
- He must have guessed.
Do you need some help, Thomas?
You fail to impress me.
Stop! Rewind.
- You fail to impress me.
- There's a background noise.
- You fail to impress me.
- A car.
- It sounds like an underground car park.
- You fail to impress me.
There!
- Tracing your mobile didn't make sense.
- He's bold.
- Maybe it's the last we've seen of him.
- Just the last we've heard from him.
Well, maybe that was it?
Right, I have an urge for omnipotence.
I get high on manipulation and control.
I just fooled the police.
Have I lost my self-confidence?
- No.
- It's almost too easy now.
I can easily get away with one more.
I hope I'm wrong.
So who was the guy
you talked to yesterday?
- That's just someone I'm seeing.
- What kind of guy is he?
He is... He's charming.
He's very different from all others I've
known. We have so much fun together.
- He's married.
- Oh!
- And what's that supposed to mean?
- Let me guess.
He says that things don't work out
so well between him and his wife.
And he's getting a divorce,
but he just needs to...
- Are you jealous?
- Very. But I'm working on it.
Listen, I'm happy. Finally I'm
with someone who makes me happy.
- Please be a little happy for me.
- Sure. Let's hope his family is, too.
At Gertrud's birthday, we did a treasure
hunt and were divided into two teams.
We were on a huge playground
and suddenly I find all the sweets.
- Then I shouted : I found the sweets!
- She has her victorious streak from me.
Lise totally freaked out.
Such a bad loser.
- She needs to run faster.
- Yes, honestly.
- I'm sorry, but I have to dash.
- That's perfectly alright.
Why don't we go out for dinner tomorrow?
Stephan could look after Mathilde...
- Let's see. Just win that case.
- Yes.
- See you.
- Bye.
- Hi, Lone.
- Hi, Nikolaj.
- Do I sit down here?
- Yes, by all means.
- It's good to see you in real life.
- You too.
- Drinks! What are you having?
- I would like some red wine.
- Shall we?
- Yes.
She tries to make up for it, and then
there's this private party musician -
- hammering away at his Hammond organ.
She goes up to him
while he's strumming away and then...
- Is it okay if I pick up something here?
- Yes, sure.
So she goes up to this musician
and asks for a birthday song -
- that she wants to sing
for the birthday child, Elsebeth.
They add these funky drums -
- and then she goes up to sing
'Happy Birthday to You.'
Happy Birthday to You.
Happy Birthday... wait for it...
... dear Elisabeth.
That's so hilarious!
Actually, it reminds me of...
When my grandparents
celebrated their silver anniversary -
- someone had bought them a song,
so when we...
No! No!
- Katrine speaking.
- We have another one.
We have a new, cut-up dead body.
Thomas is on his way, too.
I'll be right there.
She was dumped in a skip
behind a supermarket.
- Who is she?
- I'll be talking to her friend.
- Who found her?
- You're not going to believe this.
- S?ren.
- Hi.
- Hello.
- Hi.
- How did you find her?
- There was a new message this morning.
It told me to find this skip. I thought
the place would be swarming with police.
- Then you poked about in the skip?
- And found a black bin liner with meat.
- That is, it wasn't...
- Can I borrow Thomas for a sec?
No matter what we do,
this will make it into the news.
It's not that.
Molbeck said the killer recognised you.
Anyone can google that.
- You've got a license, right?
- What's this?
People like you are not normally armed,
but in this case it might be a good idea.
- I'm more at risk with one of these.
- Perhaps, but that's not up to you.
- Please sign for it before leaving.
- Sure.
And... if you keep it under your pillow
tonight, make sure to put it at safety.
And no hanky panky.
It's state property.
The victim is Lone Engelbrecht, 37,
external lecturer in German.
- And her private life?
- Single. Short relationships.
- Lonely? Happy?
- Her friend described her as desperate.
- Who reported her missing?
- Her friend.
- She didn't return from her holidays.
- Someone not reported missing at once.
He's getting more refined. To avoid
being seen he hands us the dead body.
Execution?
It's the same man. Surgical precision.
- Any signs of sexual abuse this time?
- No. None.
- What does he get out of it?
- Showing off and testing his limits.
Have you ever imagined robbing a bank
or being unfaithful or really mean?
It's the same situation,
only much worse.
The victims are completely irrelevant
to him. They're mere garbage.
They're very different.
This one is a high risk victim.
She's alone, foreign, with no friends.
This one is a well-educated,
sound high earner.
She was enthusiastic
about a guy she met online.
That might be him. This is how
he knows she's going on holiday.
- I'll check her computer.
- That's super.
- Hi! Why are you not at work?
- I wanted a shower before the meeting.
- What are you doing here?
- A shower?
I got a call from the school.
Mathilde is sick.
- What's in the bag?
- Just some tools.
- Can I see them?
- No.
- No? Why not?
- You just can't.
Come on, let me see them.
Don't be ridiculous.
Listen. You really don't
want to know what's in the bag.
- Let me see...
- What day is it on Thursday?
- No idea.
- 14 years since we first met.
- You made me really nervous.
- Congratulations.
- How beautiful!
- It has not been wrapped, but...
It's really beautiful.
I'm so sorry, honey. Thank you.
Why is it always so dark down here?
I'll check on Mathilde again.
I don't have any more.
She was using singlesforum.dk,
but her profile has been deleted.
- What have we got here?
- What is it?
Come and have a look, Katrine.
She has kept all mails on her hard disk.
- Perfect!
- Would you like a copy?
- Has he really made all this up?
- Oh, yes.
- His songwriting and the ill sister?
- Yes, after Lone told of her ill mum.
This expression appears three times now:
'very goud.'
Those spelling mistakes must be a con.
I think he ran a macro.
We must look for words
that the spellchecker won't find -
- words he combines in funny ways,
expressions...
Here's one. He called her "absolutely
bloody fantastic" several times.
That's what we're looking for.
"You're a dazzling explosion
in cosmos behind my eyelids."
He has a good imagination.
Here's an address.
"Try Sundkrogsgade 34.
They have the best in town."
- "Say my name and you get a discount."
- What are you talking about?
We need her e-mails. It's a wine shop
north of Copenhagen.
Stop the car! Pull in here.
- Something is not right.
- What?
He has spent months creating a false
identity, even false spelling mistakes.
Why should he suddenly
give us an address?
What does he know? That we have found
and possibly identified the dead body.
- What doesn't he know?
- If we can access his e-mail.
So he mentions an address
where he can check if we're coming.
If I were to look out for someone,
it would be from up there.
Hello?
Katrine?
It was probably the pigeons.
- How..? Thank you.
- Let's go down again.
The vintner had no clue
what I was on about.
This is just some random place.
It's totally irrelevant.
It still doesn't make sense.
- Did you get in here, too?
- Yes, but the door was open.
Hello.
A ginger ale, please.
Thank you.
- Oh, shit!
- Let me.
- Here you are.
- Thank you.
- Into the bag?
- Yes, please. Thanks again.
- This is not taken, if you want it.
- Is that okay? Thanks.
- Excuse me, are you with KL Insurance?
- Yes.
Do you know a girl called Mette Honor??
- We were next to each other at a party.
- How funny.
- She's a really nice girl.
- Yes, very.
- Sebastian.
- Signe.
- You're not with KL, are you?
- No.
What do you do then?
Me back in the car trying to ignite it,
but it's still completely dead.
The car off to the garage and there goes
my meeting. Not the greatest start.
- Listen... what are you doing tonight?
- Nothing much really.
But I may have to tell you
that I'm into girls.
- Alright.
- So...
- I just wondered if you needed a lift?
- Oh!
But that's nice to know.
Well, if you're going that way anyhow,
then yes please.
- Be my guest.
- Thank you.
- There you go.
- Thanks.
- Signe?
- Hi, Nete!
Good to see you.
Meet Sebastian.
- Hi.
- Nete.
And what have we got here?
How gorgeous.
- And Lee?
- I'm seeing him tomorrow.
- Give me a call and I'll join you.
- That would be great.
What the hell?
I was supposed to get a lift.
- Are there no buses?
- I think they're on strike.
- I can give you a lift into town.
- Fantastic. You rule.
- Sebastian.
- Pede.
(Colleagues sing Danish birthday song)
- Thank you.
- Cause you're so foxy, foxy...
- How old are you then?
- 27.
- Again.
- Why yes!
- A camera. For me, not crime tech?
- That's an ace camera.
- It's a Sony.
- It was Molbeck's idea.
- Thank you so much.
- You'll love it.
I can't seem to open it.
It's just too technical for me.
- She has ten cameras already.
- This one is with Bluetooth.
- Not what you wanted, was it?
- It's a fine camera.
- Let's take a photo.
- Yes, sure.
Le chicas.
And then you say 'foxy.'
- Check this out.
- You are foxy, aren't you?
- Is it because of your new flirt?
- I think he's more than that.
- Were you with him when I called you?
- Correct.
So he's staying the night.
- Am I going to meet this guy then?
- Yes.
- Here he is.
- You're kidding me.
- Good to see you. This is where I work.
- It's a big place.
- Come in.
- It looks great.
- Hello. My name is Simon.
- Who the hell are you?
This is my... This is Simon.
- I see. Welcome.
- Thank you.
Yes, well...
Listen, everybody!
Another ten minutes
and then it's back to work.
I got you there, didn't I?
I thought you were too smart for that.
Happy birthday. I have to go.
But clear up after yourselves.
I don't want any mess tomorrow.
- That was my boss.
- Friendly fellow.
- Molbeck, chief inspector like myself.
- Stig.
- Mia from Crime Tech.
- The birthday child?
- Who turns 27 today.
- My guess exactly.
- I have heard so much about you.
- Likewise. Or...
- And Thomas, forensic psychiatrist.
- Thomas?
- Simon.
- Thomas.
So are you dealing with the case
involving that guy with the saw?
Yes, I do. As it happens.
- What is he like then?
- The guy with the saw?
In short: a control freak
and megalomaniac sociopath.
- Did his potty training go wrong?
- He rather wet his bed for too long.
He appears normal, but is driven by an
urge to live out these weird fantasies.
No doubt his mother was domineering,
turning the poor guy into a misogynist.
- You must be about to arrest him?
- It won't be long.
- Cheers!
- Yes, cheers!
Had I known this was a birthday,
I would have brought a gift or flowers.
- Well, the gift is from me, too.
- Thanks.
Shall we take one more photo?
With Mia in the centre. That's it.
- Katrine, have you got a spare minute?
- Yes, of course.
- How about the meeting room?
- No problems.
- What's up?
- This guy, Simon...
- How long have you been seeing him?
- Why?
- Does he call and text you a lot?
- Yes.
- Do you do adventurous things together?
- What are your trying to say?
It's just that I noticed some things
at the party. Maybe you noticed, too?
He broke people's privacy sphere, and in
no time he was the centre of attention.
- I believe the term is extrovert.
- Or deviant personality.
- Are you calling my boyfriend deranged?
- I'm just telling you to be careful.
We have another dead body.
At a lay-by.
It's a young man this time.
And we have a witness right now.
Meet Katrine Ries, head of the
investigations, and Thomas Schaeffer.
- Jesper.
- Thomas.
- Please tell us what you saw.
- I didn't see that much, really.
I was walking my dog and saw a guy
at the bus stop. A black Audi pulls up.
I thought it might be dodgy business.
Then he jumped in and they drove off.
- Are you sure it was a black Audi?
- Absolutely. The new A4.
I'm considering buying a car,
so I know the model.
- Did you see the driver?
- Not really, but he wore a suit.
- Did he see you?
- I don't think so.
- Any other witnesses?
- Not a soul.
- None whatsoever?
- My dog.
That explains it. With no witnesses, why
take the risk of storing the dead body?
- Why a man?
- The interesting question is where?
He meets Beate here
and dumps her there.
He meets Lone here or here.
We find her there.
But now they meet here.
We find him there.
Random meeting, random sex,
random victim. It's a plan B.
- And plan A?
- His usual method, which failed.
He must have gone from here to there
yesterday between 6 and 7 p.m.
- Any details of his vehicle?
- A black Audi.
We're trying to trace it,
but there are many black Audis.
We need to carry out a thorough search
here. Cafes, bars, security cameras...
He was there between 6 and 7 p.m.
- How many do you need?
- 20.
- Right. I'll see what I can do.
- There went my dinner date.
- Have you done your homework?
- No.
- Hello?
- Hi, dad.
- Why not?
- I can't be bothered.
- What are you doing?
- Relaxing.
- I want a bracelet like that, too.
- Yes, dad has surprisingly good taste.
Getting it was pretty difficult, too.
I detect some female guidance.
Perhaps your secretary?
- Dad, have a look at my disco dress.
- Does it have to be now?
- It's really nice now.
- Okay.
Simon?
Oh, well...
- Hello?
- Hello. Is this Simon's phone?
Yes it is. Who's speaking?
Hello?
Simon?
- A new black Audi A4 at around 6 p.m.
- That one?
The camera is in a jewellery shop.
Not entirely legal.
- When does it leave again?
- Shortly.
But something interesting happens
one minute before he leaves.
Fancy woman approaching.
Quality boots.
Gets into the car. No, meets a friend.
"Hello. Hello."
She says hello to him.
And he's off. That's him
and that's our victim. Where was this?
Opposite Cafe Saint Michel.
The bartender is no help.
- But two witnesses have seen him.
- Check all the credit card payments.
Is that clock correct?
Shit!
Hello?
Sorry I'm late.
- Is the estate agent not here yet?
- No.
That's her.
Thomas Schaeffer speaking. Hello.
Oh dear... Okay.
Well... Hang on for a sec. She has
to cancel. Is Monday okay with you?
- That's fine, I think.
- Sure? That would be fine.
Of course it's not your fault.
Okay, that's fine. Bye.
- Have you had dinner yet?
- No.
- How about a last meal in this place?
- Don't you have to work?
- I could do with a night off.
- Okay.
- It's just like old days.
-Yes.
So he cancelled the party
in order to see the football match.
- Which didn't exactly impress the girls.
- Try this.
- Mm.
- Mm?
- Does it ring a bell?
- Should it?
- Don't you remember?
- No. What is it?
- The hall of residence.
- When you took me to that lecture?
No, when we came back from M?n's Cliff.
In that case we ought
to have avocados as a starter.
- Whoops.
- Voil?!
I remember everything
... apart from buying enough wine.
- We have the port from the sauce.
- Fine.
It's old-fashioned, but good.
Please sit down.
Why didn't we do this more often?
I think we forgot it.
- I forgot the wine.
- Let me get it.
No, I'm the host tonight.
Are you sure you want to do this?
- I spoke to your wife.
- Yes.
- I thought you had left her?
- I have.
I was there to pick up some furniture
and took off my coat.
I was moving a large cupboard
when the mobile rang. She answered it.
I'm really sorry
that you got mixed up in all this.
It's a tough period.
My daughter is so unhappy.
I'm sorry. Of course it is.
Do you know what I would like to do now?
Just going off somewhere with you.
- Just a small trip tomorrow.
- I may get called in for work.
- I guess...
- But I would love to.
Come here.
Are you ready? Someone used a
credit card at the cafe at around 6 p.m.
Hi. Signe M?lgaard?
I'm Stig Molbeck, chief inspector.
- This is Thomas Schaeffer.
- Hi.
So you want to know
how I used my credit card yesterday?
Please follow me... Mia?
Did you meet someone offering a lift?
Hey!
- You look good.
- What are we doing?
- I want to surprise you.
- I see.
Let me get this for you.
You don't need anything in it, do you?
- Switch it off, will you?
- Okay. Done.
No.
- No.
- Sure? It's tricky with the helmet.
I know, but no.
Let us know if anything
resembles him or something.
He's definitely younger than this man.
- No, but the hair is a bit similar.
- How?
Similar high temples.
But it's not him.
No. He was more styled.
Neater.
- Could you be a bit more specific?
- He wore a suit.
Alright...
- Could I have some water or coffee?
- Come with me, please.
I'm looking forward to this.
- How long have you had this car?
- A couple of months. It's brand new.
I'm really looking forward to this.
I promise that we'll have
an absolutely bloody fantastic day.
And the smallest category,
which will shoot someone just like that.
- Are you sure it was a black Audi?
- Yes. The A4.
- The victims are mere garbage.
- Say hello to Thomas from me.
He appears normal, but is driven by an
urge to live out these weird fantasies.
They are strangled in the car,
cut up and put into bin bags.
- I'm afraid we need precise details.
- Yes, of course.
The most irritating part is
that I know we've met him.
- Crazy thought that I was about to...
- Yes, it sure is.
- It's no use. She can't remember it.
- Luckily, you didn't get into that car.
Unbelievable! How difficult can it be
to describe a man she was talking to?
- What is it?
- It's him.
I just need to pick up a few things.
- Anything to do with the surprise?
- You could say that.
- Is that okay?
- Yes, sure.
- What have we got?
- She's not answering.
- Doesn't anybody know anything?
- They were off on a small trip today.
A trip. Great!
Have we talked to her yet? No.
And our cars?
Nothing.
His family?
Let me know when you've got something.
- Katrine's neighbours?
- Nothing.
I can't believe it.
You don't know a damned thing!
This is what we'll do: All our cars
will stop each and every black Audi A4.
Okay?
Get moving!
- I won't be a second.
- That's fine.
Molbeck!
They're on Glentevej 12.
- Do you know Munkebo Inn?
- I don't think so.
- I guess that's not it then.
- What?
I guess that's not
where we're going then.
- What are you doing?
- Just getting something from the bag.
- How long will you be?
- I'll be right with you.
Hold it! Katrine?
Are you okay? Katrine?
Come.
- Katrine!
- You psycho!
His name is Bobo.
Do you know him?
I hope the clown I hired
for my son's birthday isn't too happy.
- There she is!
- Hi.
- Good to see you.
- You too.
- Hi.
- I'm glad you're back.
They're from me.
You know where to find me.
- See you tomorrow.
- Bye.
- Is everything all right?
- Yes.
- Back when I just started...
- Bisgaard?
This one... Please take it back.
- Thank you for lending it to me.
- That's okay.
Well... Nice work!
- How are you?
- Fine.
- I got a few bruises, but that's it.
- And how's your head?
I guess dating a serial killer isn't the
best basis for a long-term relationship.
- I should have seen it coming.
- I thought you were jealous.
I was. Very much so.
- Are you going out?
- I have a date. I'm taking the chance.
- Stay away from married people.
- No problem. This one is divorced.
- Are you sure?
- Divorced from me, so I'm pretty sure.
