PREVIOUSLY

The victim is Helle Anker. Married to Natalie Anker, they have a son.

She's got another son from a previous marriage, Morten Anker.

- No! - I never touched her!

- How's your family situation? - What are you doing?

- Small talk. - We're here to work. Nothing else.

I know you don't want to see me. Saga, your dad's dying!

Jennifer is gone. It's just you and me now.

I went to get the money, but it was gone.

- Do you think I took it? - I'm gonna run.

- Aleks... - They'll kill me if I stay here.

Helle Anker was a modern, lesbian woman

who sought to destroy the nuclear family and defame tradition.

I hope her death also means

that her crazy ideas will be buried along with her.

I hope it'll be fun.

- Let's go to your place. - OK.

She lives in Valby. She runs a store.

- Or she works in the main office. - Try to sleep now.

So you need someone else over there? Pick me.

Read up on the case, and go to Sweden to meet Saga Norén.

Good.

EPISODE 2

There were many reactions to your blog about Helle Anker's death.

Yes. And many were positive.

- You maintain you're happy she died? - I didn't say that.

I said I'm happy we won't have more experiments on innocent children.

Couldn't such blogs inspire some people to "solve the problem“, so to speak?

Should we curb freedom of expression because we will be misunderstood?

- I'm not saying that. - Yes, you are.

Let's watch a clip you posted just last week.

Is it too much to ask that our Church has a clear message?

And that this message is based on the word of God?

I don't think so.

I have nothing against homosexuals. You know that.

Of course they should live among us and have the same legal rights as us.

But why should they marry in the Church?

I put that question to you, Fabian Christensen.

I pronounce you marital spouses

in the face of God and your fellow human beings.

You're a priest and one of the strongest defenders of gay marriage.

I don't understand how you can be both

and why the Church doesn't kick you out.

The Bible is unequivocal.

And if you were a Christian,

which I strongly doubt you are, and a priest

at the time when the Bible was written, you'd have been stoned to death.

And they say things weren't better in the past...

You don't see it as a problem

that some would regard this as an incitement to crime?

Do you see it as a problem that I express an opinion that may not be PC

- but that isn't illegal? - I'm not saying that.

Then you should work on your wording, because that's what it sounds like.

Ripped By mstoll Happy New Year 2016 - New Year, New Color ;-)

Who are you?

I'm Henrik Sabroe, from the Copenhagen police. Who are you?

Lars Andersen, CEO.

I just wanted to check how much was left to do before we can use it again.

- Your colleagues said they're done here. - Then I guess they are.

She asked who came in first on the morning after this happened.

Which "she" asked that?

- Your Swedish colleague. - OK.

I found out who it was. Kjell Söder came here first.

Kjell Söder. Is he here now?

Yeah, he is.

I'll probably go straight from here. We can...

We can talk about that.

I have to go now. Kiss.

Saga... Come with me.

How are you?

I contravened regulations when I took my gun home.

I didn't think about it after what happened at the trailer.

- Yes, but I wonder how you are. - Good.

That incident with Hanne was a traumatic event.

When I was there, you felt some guilt about it happening.

You rightly said I couldn't have known.

Morten Anker is a veteran exhibiting clear symptoms of paranoia.

I couldn't possibly have concluded that he would set a tripwire mine from that.

It could still affect you.

Not to the extent that I can't do my job.

No... But something's bothering you, I can see that.

If you won't tell me, I have to put you on leave whether you like it or not.

My mum's here.

Your mum? I've never even heard you talk about your mum.

I don't. I never see her.

I haven't seen her in 20 years.

What's she doing here?

My dad is dying and she wants me to visit him in the hospital.

- And you won't? - No, they're not good for me.

That's why I severed all ties with them.

Do you want to talk? Can I help you with anything?

No.

Well, you know where to find me.

Yes. Here or in your new apartment in Copenhagen.

Exactly.

I know you won't like this, but I think you need a hug.

I see.

Henrik Sabroe, Copenhagen police. Lillian sent me.

Hi, welcome. Hans Pettersson.

I'm Lillian's husband and the boss on the Swedish side.

This is Saga, she's in charge of the case.

- Saga Norén, Malmö CID. - Hello.

- Am I allowed to work now? - Yes.

Morten Anker, 27 years old. Son of Helle Anker and Villy Bartram.

The father died in 2003.

Did three tours of the Helmand province in Afghanistan after his conscription.

- The last one ended badly. - In what way?

He was part of a group accused of raping a woman in a village.

He and two others were captured and severely tortured before being released.

- Post-traumatic stress disorder? - Yeah.

Then he left the forces and lives on a small military pension.

Very little on him in the last few years.

- What about the CCTV cameras? - I got the footage.

But if I go back 15 minutes from when the perpetrator

deactivated the cameras on the building, many cars passed by. Too many.

What cameras?

Between the crime scene and the disposal site.

- Do we know that he took that route? - No, but it's likely.

He had a cargo. Start with lorries, vans and estates. Find all the owners.

The first to turn up at Andersen T&L on the morning after the murder

was Kjell Söder who arrived at 5:20 a.m.

- At that time the gate wasn't locked. - How do you know?

I've just been there. I was passing by on my way here.

The CEO said the guards were last there at 3:47 a.m.

- But you probably know that already. - No.

The murderer must have come after that.

The CCTV cameras on the building were turned off at 5:10 a.m.

It's public how she was found.

The builders took mobile phone pictures and sold them. "The Clown Murder".

That's incorrect. She was painted as an emoticon, not a clown.

- Yes, but now it's called that. - But it's incorrect.

They're done with Anker's trailer. No more explosives.

Saga, I can ask someone else to go with Henrik if you want.

- Why would I want that? - Because of what happened.

No, that's not necessary.

Just follow her. Don't expect an invitation.

You were hugging your boss. Something I should know?

He thought physical, non-erotic contact would comfort me.

- Do you need to be comforted? - No.

- What a beautiful car. - Most people think so.

You're not allowed to drive it.

- Are you up to speed on the case? - I think so.

- It's not that extensive yet. - So you have no questions?

It was you who put Martin in prison, right?

If by that you mean reported him, then yes, that was me.

I had to ask. I know Martin a bit. I had the impression you were friends.

Yes, we are. Or were, at any rate.

It must have been hard for you.

With Martin, and then your colleagues.

We have a justice system. You can't set yourself above that.

No, that's true.

- What are you doing? - Making a sort of map of the area.

We've taken pictures.

I know that.

- Are you OK? - Yes.

We don't both have to be in there. You can wait here if you find it difficult.

- I don't know how thorough you are. - I'm very thorough.

Your self-image may not correspond with reality.

True, but I think it does.

I see.

Didn't Helle receive some typed threatening letters?

Yes.

- Do you hunt? - Why do you ask?

Could this be the heart of an animal?

- I don't know. - It looks like a human heart.

- No, it's a bit too big. - Yeah.

Probably from a deer or something.

Look at this.

Anti-depressants. Anxiety-reducing.

All prescribed by the same doctor. Marianne Givskov.

- Marianne! Marianne! - Morten?

- I need my medicine. - It's OK, Ida.

- Sit down. - I need my medicine.

Yes, sit down. Sit down, Morten, and we'll sort it out.

- What happened? - I didn't touch her.

Who are you talking about?

- Morten? - My mother, I didn't touch her.

- Morten? - I need my pills, and I need them now.

- I don't have them here. - Yes, you do!

No, I don't, for precisely this reason. But we can go get them.

Then you can lie down and rest, and we'll talk about it.

Look, here they are.

Shall we go back in together? Morten? Morten!

Out of the way!

Morten hasn't got a car. Send his photo to public transport.

If he appears, they should alert the police, not restrain him.

- We need a dog patrol. - Sort that out.

- Alert both countries that he's wanted. - Are you always this bossy?

I'm not bossy, I'm efficient, but you're clearly not used to that in Denmark.

- Who are you texting all the time? - It's private.

You're doing it during work hours.

Her name's Lene.

- We met at a museum yesterday. - You were lucky.

Statistics show only 2% of people meet their future partners in public places.

I'd hardly call her a "future partner".

I'm ending it now.

How do you know so much about percentages and who meets where?

- I read a lot. - I see.

But this doesn't really count. It was pre-arranged.

I'm a member of a singles club.

If you go to, say, a museum, you get a sticker to show that you're a member.

Then you start talking to others with the same sticker.

Did you have sex?

Such extensive preparations should at least result in sex. Did you have sex?

Aren't you confusing me with a female friend from 20 years back?

I don't have any female friends. Did you have sex?

Yeah.

You go up, I'll be right there.

Stop following me around, or I'll report you.

You lost a sister, we lost a daughter. We should be able to talk about it.

Jennifer never recovered from years of physical and mental abuse.

Then she killed herself. There, now we've talked.

- So you still think it was my fault? - I know it was!

- Here. - What's that?

- Jennifer's medical records. Read them. - Why?

Then you'll realise that I'm not lying and that you've been mistaken.

And then you can visit Dad, too, and be reconciled with him.

Reconciliation is dependent on both parties wanting it. I don't!

If you're not interested, then maybe your boss or your colleagues are.

Because of everything you've done to us.

I'm sorry, Saga. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to threaten you.

Certainly not. We're proud of you, and we read all about you.

Can you look at me when I'm talking to you?

Just read these. That's all I want.

Who was that?

My mother, and I don't want to talk about her, if you were intending to.

I want you to look at this from Morten Anker's fridge.

- What is it? - That's what I want to know.

The dogs lost the trail, but his picture is being circulated.

Good.

It doesn't match any documents on Google.

- What's that? - Medical records.

- Connected to the case? - No.

Saga Norén, Malmö CID. I want a courier to the Forensic Institute in Lund.

We've got another body.

- Do we know who it is? - It's Fabian Christensen.

- He's 60, a priest, lives in Copenhagen. - Has he been reported missing?

No. He texted his wife yesterday to say he'd be home at the normal time.

- Any connection to Helle Anker? - Not that we know of so far.

- His heart seems to be there. - There could be other parts missing.

- The car, do we know whose it is? - Yes, it's the victim's.

- Why are they smiling? - It's a smiley.

A simple sign to state that your electronic communication is a joke.

Thanks, Wikipedia, but do you think he wants us to see the murders as a joke?

- No, that's unlikely. - So why are they smiling like that?

We were supposed to go out tonight. To the theatre and then dinner.

Do you know who could have done this?

It was our wedding anniversary two weeks ago.

But we didn't have time to celebrate.

- So he hadn't received any threats? - I should cancel our reservation.

I can do that for you if you tell me the name of the restaurant.

- Geranium. - Good. I'll cancel it.

Then you can answer my colleague's questions, OK?

- What do you want to know? - If your husband had received threats.

Yes, he received some unpleasant messages. Letters and email.

He was the first priest in Denmark to perform same-sex weddings.

- Did he keep any of the threats? - No, he deleted them immediately.

This one arrived this morning.

He never had time to see it.

A threatening letter. Typed on a typewriter.

- I cancelled the table at Geranium. - Thank you.

Elise...

Did your husband know a Helle Anker? Or a Morten Anker?

The name sounds familiar, but...

Then, of course, there was that crazy woman.

What crazy woman?

On the Internet.

Lise Friis Andersen.

- Please take a seat. - Thank you.

Several pupils saw Karen just walk up to Molly and hit her.

Good. Then the word will probably spread.

- Good? - Where did you hit her?

First on the nose and then next to her eye.

This is unacceptable. This school has a zero tolerance policy to violence.

As you do on bullying. How do you think that's going?

Is this what you teach her? That violence is the solution?

I teach her not to be afraid. Now it's up to you whether it happens again.

- Come, darling. - But...

- Hello. - Hello, it's me.

- How did you get my number? - I asked Samira.

It all ended badly yesterday with the money. I didn't take it.

It's bothering me. I got a bit pissed off.

More than anything I was disappointed that you could think that about me.

But I want to help you any way I can.

Why don't we meet up and talk about it?

We have to sort this out, it's worrying me.

Where are you?

I can come and see you.

- I'd rather meet in town. - Yeah? Where? When?

The person you are trying to reach is unavailable.

You can leave a message.

The police have been here. We have to meet.

The Bible is unequivocal.

And if you were a Christian,

which I strongly doubt you are, and a priest

at the time when the Bible was written, you'd have been stoned to death.

And they say things weren't better in the past...

Lise Friis Andersen.

She was critical of Helle and her school.

- Almost seemed happy that she died. - How do you know?

She was on some Danish TV programme about Internet trolls.

I was asked about it. Freedom of expression.

- Do you really think she'd act on it? - Or she's just a source of inspiration.

- How is it going with Morten Anker? - No one's seen him.

- The numbers and letters on his fridge? - I haven't found anything anywhere.

- It could be some personal code. - The meat, the knives, the typewriter?

The heart was from a deer, the blood on the knives from a deer and a hare.

- And the typewriter? - Nothing from the lab yet.

It must be 20 years since they last compared ribbons.

So all we have right now is her.

I don't understand why you're here.

Two people you've criticised lately have been murdered.

- Two? Who apart from Helle Anker? - Fabian Christensen was found today.

What?

That's terrible!

But it doesn't explain why you're here.

I told you. Two people you've criticised lately have been murdered.

I can't have been the only one to do that. I mean, they're in the public eye.

Did anyone contact you? Anyone overly supportive of your views?

- Overly supportive? - Yes.

No one's been "overly supportive". Many have been supportive.

You can read that in the comments.

- You've had no personal calls or email? - From someone killing in my name? No.

Has anyone sent you a typed letter?

Most of my followers live in the 21st century.

- So you don't have a typewriter? - No.

- Do you know Morten Anker? - Is he related to Helle Anker?

He's her son.

I see why you're here, but nothing I say incites violence or illegal acts.

- That's debatable. - I have a law degree, so, no, it's not.

I express my opinions. I can't account for what my followers get up to.

Should we warn everyone she's criticised?

If we linked her to the investigation, we could be sued for libel.

- The murders were linked to her blog. - That doesn't prove anything.

She's married to Lars Andersen at the transport firm where Helle was killed.

- How do you know? - The wedding picture up there.

I'll have a closer look at the couple.

- Now? - Or first thing tomorrow morning.

- Why not now? - I thought you and I could have dinner.

At Geranium. I didn't cancel Christensen's reservation.

Why not?

It's one of the best places in town. Impossible to get a table.

- No, I don't want to. - OK.

Is there a reason, or should I just feel rejected?

I have a meeting in Lund, then I'll do some work.

- Some other time, then. - No, I don't like socialising in that way.

She's very different. I think she has some medical condition.

- You wouldn't like her. - Why not?

I don't know, she's very... She's very honest.

She has no boundaries.

And she has no sense of humour.

But I want to talk to her. See if she can help me.

Do you think that's a good idea?

I'll just get to know her better first.

I actually invited her with me to Geranium tonight.

I managed to get a table, but she declined, so I came home.

So tonight it's only you and I. Peaceful and quiet.

Good.

- Hi. - Did you find anything?

On the bodies or in the medical records you sent me?

Both. Let's start with the bodies.

- Be my guest. - No. You tell me.

Helle Anker. Cause of death: heart failure due to blood loss.

- So she was alive when he opened her? - Unconscious.

I found traces of chloroform in her airways and lungs. Old school.

The breastbone opened with something mechanical, no jagged edges.

- My guess is a powerful angle grinder. - Anatomical knowledge?

Not necessarily. Cut open, break apart, remove.

You don't have to be a surgeon.

Next, Fabian Christensen: strangled.

No other damage to the body. No organs or body parts missing.

- Two different perpetrators? - Or one who likes change.

The lipstick was common to both.

That was leaked to the press, so it doesn't have to mean anything.

Shall we look at the other thing, then?

Yes.

- Jennifer Norén. - Yes.

- Family. - What did you find?

I wasn't sure what you wanted me to look for.

Anything that isn't normal.

The girl was ill most of the time.

Unnaturally so?

If by that you mean more than average, then yes.

I mean someone made her ill on purpose. Someone with Munchausen by proxy.

That's possible, of course, but there's nothing in here to confirm that.

No one can be as ill as she was by natural means.

It's unusual, but it's entirely possible.

If you're asking for my professional opinion only based on what I read here,

there's no evidence of any crime having been committed.

- But it could have been? - Sure.

But that's not how we work, neither you nor I.

We believe in evidence.

- The police came here today. - Oh, why?

They're looking for some link between my video blog and the murders.

You found it! Where was it?

- What are you talking about? - Did you put it there?

- No. - It must have been Karen, then.

- Could I wear leather trousers? - Sure. Why do you ask?

Because...

The CID officer who was here today wore them, and she looked hot.

- Was that a Swedish CID officer? - Yes.

Who's investigating the murder of Helle Anker?

And Fabian Christensen, yes.

She came to our Malmö department.

Was it Helle Anker's body that was in the lorry?

It must have been.

Hans?

Hans?

- Saga Norén, Malmö CID. - Hi, it's Lillian. Is Hans there?

- No. - Do you know where he is?

We were supposed to meet at 7:30. He didn't turn up.

I thought something might have happened and he couldn't call.

- Have you called him? - Several times. He's not answering.

- Did you have an argument? - No, we didn't.

- That could explain him not answering. - Yes, but we didn't have an argument.

Could you take a look around to see if he's in a meeting or if his car is there?

His car's in the car park across the street.

Do me the favour of having a look.

Sure.

Some of you know me already. My name's Linn Björkman.

I'll be in charge of this department in Hans' absence.

What we know is that Hans Pettersson is missing.

We assume that he's not staying away of his own free will.

We've called in more officers and have all resources available.

If the press gets in touch, no one says anything.

You'll report to me hourly or whenever you find something important.

Then I'll correlate the information. You know what you have to do. Thanks.

- Shall we have a cup of tea? - Yes, please.

- How's it going? - No email explains his disappearance.

He didn't disappear, he was abducted.

The closest I found was this. From his wastepaper basket, four weeks old.

- Aleksander Dover. - Released from prison yesterday.

Eight years for armed robbery. Had made threats against Hans in prison.

- Do you know where he is? - No. He was to go to a halfway house.

But according to the landlord he never moved in. I can look into it.

Good, you do that. And print that out.

- Are those some new ones? - Yeah.

- Stronger? - Yeah.

I need some sleep.

I'm well aware that it's early.

Lillian?

Hans learnt four weeks ago that Dover would be released. Why was nothing done?

He never mentioned it. The probation service contacts anyone concerned.

- Then they must ask for protection. - And he didn't?

- This is the first I've heard of it. - Hans never mentioned a Dover.

It's worth looking into. Do we know where Dover is now?

John's working on it. What are you doing here?

Lillian called me.

Hi.

I have an address.

What place is this?

Dover's been linked to it in two investigations.

Ownership is unclear.

Looks like someone's here.

Aleksander Dover!

Aleksander Dover!

Saga Norén, Malmö CID. We need to talk to you!

Could you open the door?

Come in.

Hans Pettersson.

- What about him? - Where were you at 7:00 p.m. today?

I was here.

I was just released from prison, as I'm sure you know.

- I'm trying to take it easy. - So you weren't downtown in Malmö?

No.

So if I say someone saw you there around 7:00, what do you say to that?

That they're lying.

Around the police station. That's why we're here.

You threatened Hans Pettersson when you were in prison.

So it's a coincidence that Hans disappears 24 hours after your release?

- Has he disappeared? - Yes.

He forced me to become a snitch in prison.

He was going to frame my wife for harbouring a criminal

and take the children away from us.

So, yes, I threatened him.

I wanted him to be as scared as I was.

As I still am!

But I have nothing to do with his disappearance.

I did eight years. I don't want to do life.

Hans would never threaten his family to force Aleksander to become a snitch.

- So Dover has something to do with it? - I don't know. But he lied about Hans.

He seemed surprised that Hans had disappeared.

- You believed that? - Maybe he took acting lessons inside.

I don't think that's possible.

Either way I think we should have him watched.

- I want to work full time on this. - OK, I'm in.

No, you'll stay on the Christensen and Anker murder case.

There was not enough blood for him to have been seriously injured or killed.

And if someone had wanted to kill him, there'd be no reason to do it elsewhere.

- So it was probably a kidnapping. - Yes.

And when it's not about child custody, trafficking or criminal revenge,

- there's often a demand for ransom. - I'm well aware.

- And statistically speaking, very few... - I know you're trying to cheer me up.

But could you please just be quiet?

Yes.

Do you need a hug?

No, thanks, I'm OK.

Your colleagues were looking for you, but they left.

I'm going to demand 2 million for your release.

Apparently more ransoms are paid than people think.

In secret. So as not to encourage crime.

It's for my family. Do you remember them?

Samira and the girls.

Samira? Would you like some wine, Samira?

Gather round! We've received a film.

- What film? - It came with a demand of 2 million.

- How was it sent? - An attachment from a Hotmail address.

- How long will it take to track that? - A while.

- Do you want to see this? - Yes.

OK, let's run it.

LATEST: CLOWN MURDER

Zoom in on the newspaper, John.

- Yes! I saw that paper at Dover's. - What are you saying?

I saw it, I recognise the coffee ring. It was lying on Dover's kitchen table!

The bastard! He's got my family, my children.

Anybody but that guy.

Well, she doesn't need the money any more. Johnny's got money.

He's got my money. He's got my life.

I don't have to send any more films of you.

I don't have to prove that you're alive.

So you don't have to live.

The basement's clear.

The house has been secured. It's empty, no one here.
