Original subtitles

Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

We got a call at 3:47. Some fishermen spotted him in the water.

He can't have been in the water long. One to two days or so.

I saw he had marks on his neck, so I got some investigators out here.

Is that a rope?

Mads? What is it?

There's something out there.

Can't we just get a boat? Can't we find a boat?

Mads, a boat is coming. Are you sure about that?

- What is it? - Mikhayil Husenko.

He works over at the wind turbine park.

He was probably strangled by the safety wire.

There's a business name here.

Energreen.

FRAUD

Albert slept in again.

Esther, you little snitch. Albert, get up!

- Should I wake him up? - Yeah, will you? Super.

- Dad, can I stay home from school today? - Are you sick?

- No. - Then do you think you should stay home?

No.

Then dress and get out the door. What time do you finish swimming?

- 4:00. - Okay. I'll pick you up after.

How's it going? Good, bad?

- Bad day. So far. - Okay.

I'm just going to fix this, Sweetie. You're sitting crooked.

- Are you catching a cold? - No, it's nothing.

I dreamed something. We had sex, I think.

- I'd like to hear more about that. - Maybe it wasn't with you. It was good.

Bummer.

- Will you take your pill now? - Can I wait a bit?

- Can I take nutella for lunch today? - Hi, Sweetie.

"Can I take nutella for lunch today?"

- He wants it every day. - Are you better, Mom?

- Yeah, I'm fine. - Aren't we going to be late?

- Hi, Sweetie. - I'll get him at school, shop, start dinner -

- then pick her up at swimming. Okay? - Write it down. I'll forget in five minutes.

Off you go.

- Good morning. - See you later.

- See you. Have a good day at school. - You too.

How long has Mom's attack really lasted?

- Oh ... I don't know. - It's lasted a long time.

- That's normal, Esther. - Not that long.

A multiple sclerosis attack doesn't usually last that long.

You promised me you wouldn't read more on the internet.

You can get sick reading NetDoktor.

Is she going to get better again?

You heard what the doctor said. It's like this for a while.

I think it's lasted a really long time too.

Yeah. It has, kids.

We three just need to keep it together and help mom as much as we can. Okay? Good.

Good morning.

Good morning.

- Do you want to have a smoke? - I don't have time.

- I'm going up to the Monday meeting. - That's a damn lie!

- No, I'm a lawyer. I never lie. - How did you get into that?

I found a mistake that'll save us 20 million. Today I'm going to present it.

- Excellent. - I have these for you, Claudia.

- I have to run. See you later. - Yeah. Hope it goes well.

- Claudia, what page is the clause on? - I put it on page 13.

- Good morning. Good morning. - Good morning, Sander.

- Welcome home. - Thanks. Sorry for the delay.

I apologize. A flight was having issues.

Before we go around, I want to hear about those tests, Bjarne.

The first, second and third waves are already supplying five megawatts.

The last can be up and running in a month's time.

I'm glad to hear that. We'll set the deadline for the 25th.

Let's go around, and let's start with Legal.

- Yeah, we have ... - We've drawn up a new contract.

If we can just pass it around. It can also be found on the server.

It's regarding our standard agreement with our vendors.

- Until now, each contractor had a clause ... - It's on page 13 that we ...

If you flip to page 13 at the very top -

- you'll see the little clause has cost us around 5 million kronor quarterly.

We've corrected that now. Our annual savings is 20 million kronor.

- Ah, then it was ... - That section wasn't our responsibility.

- So we've ironed it out. - Good work, Mogens. Really nice.

- Good day. - You must be from the police, right?

- Yeah. - Jon Hansen.

Mikhayil Husenko.

You must understand that we outsource all the work on the wind turbines.

We have over 500 employees from all over the world.

They're spread throughout at least 50 companies.

So it's impossible for us to know everything about every single employee.

But GLEB Constructions, it's a Ukrainian company -

- that does minor repairs. Most of the employees live out by the harbor.

So I would ask there.

What's going on here? They know him.

- Jon, go that way. We'll go door-to-door. - Yeah.

- Come inside. - Let's have a look.

Big rooms. It's so nice here.

- It's so nice here. - A lot needs to be done.

- Yeah? You think so? - Yeah. It does.

Considering the floor and the room, we can't give that price for it.

- We're offering 1.2. - I'd rule that out, actually.

It's at 2, and you can probably count on a rejection at 200,000 less.

We're going to lay out several hundred thousand on top. We offer 1.2.

- They're never going to go with that. - Stop. The market is way down.

- I know that type. - My dad says the market is turning around.

That's not going to happen. Besides, the bank said that was all we could borrow.

I have it under control, Sweetie. It'll be enough. Can't you let me handle it?

- What? They're going to take it. - You don't know those types.

- You're from Jylland. - Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

- I know all about negotiating. - Shh! Can we go?

- Can you stand up here? - Can you come to Grandpa? Yeah, hi.

- How was the apartment? - It was so cool.

Big and roomy. And there's a balcony.

- Important, so he can come out and sleep. - Nicky, you need to talk to Bimse.

- You need to look at an old Mustang. - Bimse? Who is Bimse?

- He's new. His name is Bimse. - See you later, Sweetie.

Bimse? Bimse?

- We need to go look at an old car. - A Mustang. We need to start it.

- Do you have the key? - No.

The owner has the key we need to start it.

Oh, yeah, of course. Yeah.

- As in now. Where is it? - Tuborn Havn. Are you coming?

Well. How did it go?

- Mogens took credit for my work. - Typical.

If it means anything, I think you did a damn fine job with that contract.

- Thanks. Mogens is an idiot. - Yeah. That's what we all think.

You can only take it one step at a time. Not two.

- What do you mean? - You can't go after the boss' job.

- I'm not. - Yeah, you are.

- No, I am not. - It's okay. Just be careful.

I'm sorry, did we have a misunderstanding earlier today?

I don't think we did.

You just could have let me present, since I found the mistake.

- Are you not getting enough attention? - Just forget it, Mogens.

I'm the boss. I do the presentations. End of discussion. Sit down.

You dealt with the contracts when CWE worked with German electric, right?

So you know we've increased our trades tenfold with the Germans.

The firm East Manchester Invest predicted many of our trades with the Germans.

- Predicted as in? - They lurk just before the deal is made.

So they sell and make out when our trades drive the market up?

They're front running. That's fucking illegal, Mogens.

- To do that, they'd need an insider here. - Claudia, I want you to look into this.

We have to stop it.

Here is a list of all the trades East Manchester Invest copied.

- This stays between us. - Yeah, of course.

- Claudia, It's important. Find the insider. - I won't tell anyone.

- Hi. - We're from Jan's Auto.

Okay.

- We're here to see Peter Søndergård. - Have a seat, and I'll give him a call.

Hey, hey! I don't think you can smoke here. Put it out.

- No one saw that. - There are alarms everywhere.

- Is it true you're a car thief? - No.

You're smoking. You're an idiot, man. You're smoking.

You can't just do it anywhere.

But were you, or what? They say you were good.

Have you stolen a Lamborghini? Because I have.

- Fuck, no way. - Inside the Radisson.

- Then you're fucking stupid, man. - I was caught after 5 minutes.

But I was 14, so they let me go.

Hey. Are you the mechanics? Good. It's this way. Come.

- Did he just snap? - Yeah. After you.

Just try again.

- No. - Nothing.

- Come on. How hard can it be? - Just try again.

- No. - Nothing's happening.

- How long will this take? - We need to take it to the garage.

- Your boss promised you would start it. - It's a really old car.

Just do it. I promised to pick up my date in this car.

- He's trying. You need to take a taxi. - What did you say?

If your girlfriend is the right one, then she won't care what you drive in.

Shut your ass.

Our flatbed will pick it up. I'll fix it. You can have it the day after tomorrow.

- Great. Thanks so much! - Bye.

Holy shit, what a fucking fool.

Hey.

If you're interested, I know some guys -

- if you're interested in making some easy money.

We're talking luxury cars. We drive them into a big container. 10,000 a piece.

- What? Come on. Are you in? - No, I'm not frigging in.

- Close the door. - I've stolen cars before.

Yeah, you said that. Weren't you caught, too?

- No. - That's what you said.

If you'll just wait there.

He confirms that it's his son.

Mikhayil!

Mikhayil.

Misha.

What happened the night your son, Mikhayil Husenko, died?

There was an accident, and he panicked.

But what happened?

There was an accident, and he panicked.

Jon, come here a second.

It sounds like he's been instructed. He's covering something up.

- Do you think he murdered him? - No.

If he'd done it, there would have been an easier way.

- We need to charge him. - We can't do that.

- Then we'll get 24 hours. - He's just lost his son.

We charge him. Otherwise we'll never get him to say anything.

"... secretly in the whole country and toasted him and whispered:

'To Harry, the boy who lived.'" We'll read more tomorrow.

- Why can't we hear a little more? - Albert, in your room.

- Okay. - Esther, wash the dishes.

Mads, Albert came home from school today by himself.

- All alone. You didn't come. - No.

I was delayed. So... I texted him. He should have waited.

He did. For half an hour.

We have a complicated case.

He cannot wait a half hour. He crossed two streets. Alone.

What the hell should I do? I'm doing what I fucking can.

- Mads ... Sorry. - Yeah. That's alright.

- Can you ...? Can Esther? - Yeah, yeah. Esther, are you washing?

- Easy, Sweetie. I'm a little stressed. - Then we should get more help.

I'll come say goodnight in a bit.

- Jon, it's me. Open your email. - Mads, dammit. We're off the clock.

They were forced to work. Please open your email.

The wind was blowing over 15 m/s the night they died. That's twice the limit.

And that's not the first time. They have several cases of safety incidents.

A young man is up welding a safety rail.

The wire breaks, and he falls down and breaks his neck.

Two men get third-degree burns from an engine fire.

- Each time not a damn thing is done. - What about the labor inspectors?

The labor inspectors can't touch them. They put it on a subcontractor -

- which they then replace with a new one.

The wind turbine park reopens, they get a deadline, and then safety goes to shit.

They must scare them shitless out there.

If you cover up your own son's death, you have to be fucking scared.

Hi.

Hi, Mogens. It's Claudia.

You're right. More than 30 of these kinds of trades were made.

East Manchester Invest is registered to an address here in Copenhagen.

On Frederiksberg Allé.

I'll go there in the morning and report back as soon as I have something.

Hope you have a good night. Talk to you later. Bye.

Hi, Sweetie! Sorry I'm a bit late.

We got an old Mustang that had to be fixed quickly.

The owner was one of those irritating suit-wearing types.

- The reality estate agent called. - Great.

- It's been sold. - What?

They were offered the price, so they sold it, of course.

Then the people who bought it were idiots.

Can we stop arguing about this?

- You're the one who offered 1.2! - We can't pay more than 1.2.

- We're not in a hurry to find a place. - I want to live some place else.

He shouldn't grow up here.

Okay ...

I grew up in Horsens. That is way fucking worse.

Andriy, tell me what happened.

We know the wind was blowing, and that it wasn't safe to work.

There was an accident and he panicked.

You're covering for people who are to blame for your own son's death.

Why were they working that night?

- They say that we have to. - Who says?

I don't want any problems.

I have three small children back home. I can't afford to lose my job.

Three small children. Do you understand?

Yeah. But if they forced you to work, then that's illegal.

They'll be punished. They'll pay fines and maybe go to jail.

They'll have to pay compensation, and that is a lot of money.

They'll throw us out. If we complain, they'll throw us out.

That's not going to happen. This is Denmark. We have rules about that.

One doesn't treat people like that in Denmark.

- Then we'll follow him home. - But I have an appointment after this.

Cancel it.

Okay. Listen here. My name is Mads, and I am from the police.

The other night, your coworker died. Andriy's son, Mikhayil.

He died because he worked, even though it wasn't safe.

And that is illegal.

You are not guilty. The guilty ones are those who ordered you to work.

If you tell me about the conditions you work under -

- then you can get compensation. Or Andriy could get compensation.

We travel from country to country for the sake of our families.

But what is it worth if we can't protect them?

Mikhayil didn't want to go out that night, but I persuaded him.

I persuaded him.

Here is my card. If you call and tell me about your working conditions -

- I will make sure that the guilty are punished. I promise you that.

- Hi. - Can I help you?

Yeah. I'm looking for someone from East Manchester Invest.

- They're never here. - Were there many who worked here?

No, not really. In fact ... I've only seen one.

His name ... Oh, what was his name?

Sebastian. Yeah, Sebastian Krüger.

- Sebastian. Okay, thanks for your help. - You're welcome.

- Sell as soon as it hits 2. - Peter?

- Yeah? - I'm Claudia, up from Legal.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - You don't remember me.

- Maybe I've seen you here? - No. We met in New York.

At the reception for the students. I know Sebastian Krüger.

- You know Sebastian? - Yeah. Weren't you students together?

Oh! Okay. Sorry. I'm really bad at remembering faces.

- Sebastian always had a new pretty lady. - Yeah. I can imagine.

I just wanted to say hi. Say hello when you see him.

- If you still see him. - Of course I do.

Okay. So say hi.

I have the insider.

East Manchester Invest is run by a Sebastian Krüger.

Krüger studied economics at the Stern School of Business.

Peter Søndergård from our CWE department did too.

They know each other from then and have friends in common on Facebook.

I have this.

I just wanted to say hi. Say hello when you see him.

- If you still see him. - Of course I do.

- So say hi. - Yeah.

What is it?

- Claudia, can I trust you? - Yeah, of course.

On these illegal acts, they may not be alone

- What do you mean? - I got a call from the police.

They suspect someone higher up in the system.

What is 'higher up'?

They claim that the top is giving the green light for insider trading.

I need all the evidence you can get.

- Everything you can get. - Yeah.

So I go behind the back our Director who built the firm.

He may not be Director for very much longer.

It could create opportunities for you.

- Here? - Mmhmm.

Gather East Manchester's trades on a usb stick and give me it early tomorrow.

Hi.

- What are you doing here? - I fixed it.

It was the carburetor. I got a new one. I got it cheap. Now it runs again.

It's a great car, man. Here you go.

- I'm in my other car today. - In your other car?

- I thought it was important. - Yeah. I had a date.

How the fuck do you think I'm going to get this home?

Hello! It's a simple question. How will I get it home?

I don't know.

So park this shit over there. Idiot, man!

Hi, it's me. Are those Serbs looking for new BMWs?

Because I think I have a 645Ci. Yeah.

- Hey. - Hey.

- You're late. - Yeah.

I don't want anything to do with the sale.

I don't want to see them or have anything to do with the money.

I'm not going to deliver the car or talk to anyone. I'll open the car.

That's it. You sell it yourself, and we split the profit.

- Yeah. Yeah, that's cool. - Fifty-fifty.

Bimse!

You're a fucking idiot, man.

Preben. Jon.

Jon just told me about the death at the wind turbine park. It was an accident.

They had to climb the turbines in stormy weather. It's a murder case.

- It's not the first time. - It's a case for the labor inspector.

I agree.

They scare them to shut them up. The police need to get involved.

No, not us, Mads. You write that report. You close the case. Quickly. Okay?

Preben, we need to talk to people at that company.

- We do. - Keep away from that company.

- Mads, he's right. - Shut up, Jon!

Jon, can you block the sun somewhere else?

Why can't we talk to the company?

- What? - Come here.

Listen. The Fraud Police or the State Prosecutor has started another big case.

- This is from the highest places. - The Financial Police ... SØIK?

- Yeah. - That's only documents and invoices.

Preben, there are two people who have lost their lives within three years.

- This is about human lives. - Fucking stop it, Mads.

I'm telling you things that I know I shouldn't. Then you keep on going.

- How's it going? - With what?

With the trade balance. What do you think? With Kristina.

- Are doing alright? - We're doing fine.

- You're maybe a little tired, or ... - What the fuck are you getting at?

- You want to talk about this now? - Yeah, I'm afraid we need to, Mads.

Last time Kristina had an attack, you buried yourself in cases.

I had to save your ass, and I don't want to do that again!

- I can give you some leave. - I don't want leave.

Then you can get reduced hours. No one will look down upon it, Mads.

- Hi, Mom. - Hey, Sweetie. Doing good?

- Yeah. Did you buy sushi? - Of course I bought sushi.

- Hi, Steen. Has he been alright? - Yeah. Great. He missed you.

- I've missed him too. - Listen ...

He doesn't need school supplies tomorrow. They have some kind of theme day.

So he shouldn't bring his books. Have fun.

- Bertram, Sweetie. See you later. - Bye bye.

- Bye bye. - See you. Bye.

- What are you looking for in my bag? - I'm trying to find the ipad.

- Hey. - Hey.

What is it?

I was asked to go on leave -

- or reduced hours, or whatever the fuck they call it.

- Did Preben fire you? - No. Leave, Sweetie.

Because of me?

I've been a little creative at work.

What the hell ... I need it.

I don't know what to say to that.

Just say no. Or ...

Say, "Yeah. Thanks."

Come here.

We have a problem.

A problem?

With the wind turbine park. There's been an accident. A death.

Oh my. Is it anything to worry about?

No, there's no reason to believe that it will hurt us.

What happened?

There's no reason to believe that it will hurt us.

Okay.

Good morning, Claudia. Did you have something for me?

- Here you go. - Thanks.

- Excuse me. - Just a moment. Yeah?

I need to talk to the Director. It's very, very important.

You can't. You need an appointment before you ...

- What's this? - Sorry. I need to tell you something.

- I apologize. - We're in the middle of a meeting.

Yeah. I apologize as well, but it's very important.

Thanks, Birthe. Excuse me. Can we take lunch now?

Then we'll pick up after. Thanks.

What?

I'm saying this with the greatest possible respect, but we have a problem.

- Us two? - No. Our company.

Our company.

Your Chief Lawyer is talking right now to the police about an insider trading case.

Peter from our CWE department has engaged in front running with a friend.

A Sebastian Krüger. His firm is East Manchester Invest.

They copied our trades and earned a lot on them.

- Why didn't Mogens come to me? - Because he thinks you're involved.

He'll make it look like you gave the green light to all of this.

Don't say anything. If you know something, I don't want to know.

So what do you recommend we do?

It could hurt us a lot, so I suggest that we handle it internally. Without the police.

How much does Mogens have?

There's nothing on it. It's empty.

I gave him an empty usb stick.

Hello? Andriy?

What's going on?

A subcontractor isn't living up to the safety standards.

So we terminated the relationship.

If you hadn't meddled, these people would still have a job.

Andriy?

Andriy! Fuck!

Andriy! Help!

Hello! I need some help! Fuck!

- Claudia. My office, now! - Talk to Sander instead, Mogens.

I did it in the interest of the company. No one knows anything.

- I haven't said anything. - Sit down.

Put down your id card. And your car keys.

- You're out in an hour. - Sander, there's more ...

For every word you say, the less I will make your severance.

Preben, it's Mads. We've closed the case. Yeah.

There's a shopping trip and candy after. So eat up.

- You shouldn't come too late. - Too late?

- Mom cooked. - What did she do?

She got better.

- Hey, Sweetie. - Hey.

- What's going on? - The pains just went away suddenly.

There's only a little tingling in my fingers.

I made meatballs in curry. The children set the table.

How was work?

It was fine.

Are you crying, Dad?

No ... no.

- Can I help with something? - No. Sit. Are you hungry?

- Yeah. - Because we are, too.

- Are you really hungry? - Yeah, you better believe it.

- Damn, you look hot. - Thank you.

- Where are you going? - I'm going to Sander's party.

- Weren't you invited? - To Sander's place? No.

I thought you were invited, too. Sorry. I wouldn't have brought it up.

- No, no. It's cool, man. - I have a taxi waiting.

- See you later. - Yeah. Bye.

- Thanks. - May I take your jacket?

Thanks.

Can you excuse me a moment?

- Hi. I'm glad you came. - Thanks for inviting me.

It can be a little awkward when you don't know anyone. Cheers.

Christensen, this is Claudia. Claudia, this is our Board Chairman.

- Of course. It's an honor. - Claudia is our new Chief Lawyer.

Is that right? Well, welcome aboard.

Thanks.

- Chief Lawyer? - Yeah. Who else would I have chosen?

I don't know.

- Skål. - Skål.

- Streamers? Will you have streamers? - That's ...

- Should I get it? - No, no, you shouldn't.

- I'm glad you ate it up. - It tasted good.

- Thanks. - We're happy you're up again.

Yeah?

- Good evening. - What can I help you with?

Are you investigating a case about Energreen?

- Who are you? - My name is Alf.

I'm in the SØIK. Financial Police.

Has your case been shut down?

- Yeah. - That's what they do.

What?

They get their cases closed, before they become problems.

- Can we talk about this another time? - It's really, really corrupt.

They must have good connections. When you get close, they close them.

What do you think I should do about it?

I thought you might help me.

Will you help me try to stop them?

- Who was that? - Oh, it was a colleague.

- Now? - Yeah.

Sweetie, I ... I'm not going on leave.

- I knew that. - You did?

- You're an idiot. Do you know that? - Yeah, I know.
