Hurry up!

Let's go!

Where is The Garden of Ishtar?

Episode 1

Oh shit, man!

So, I hope you liked the food. They're good people. Agnes is good.

- It's still raining. - Oh, damn!

- I'll go and check the cellar. - Okay.

I like the rain.

It calms my mind, you know?

Come and take a seat.

Listen, brother, I'm sure there will be a place on the trip.

Bob says in two or three days at the latest.

- But what matters is that there's a way. - Excellent. We hope so.

We still have time. Can we wait, honey?

I'm going upstairs to charge my phone.

I really miss sleeping on a real bed.

Malu says you play music. Play for us.

- What did you bring? - Some Arak.

I'll be there soon.

If you want, drink a glass and play some music.

You haven't played in ages.

So?

Let's hear it, come on!

Brilliant!

Mum!

We tried to call you so many times!

- Are you on the boat now? - No... we haven't made it yet.

Many things went wrong and my phone battery died.

But I'm safe for the next few days.

And Faris?

He's here too, we're both here.

Are you with... Albert Greaves?

Yes, I am.

I'm really sad I'm not with you.

Don't be sad, Mum, we'll be with you soon.

In two or three days, hopefully.

I shouldn't have left alone.

Mum, you had no choice.

Otherwise they'd have taken you too.

I'm really happy you're alive and well.

That you and Faris are alive.

Malu?

What do you want from me? I'm not with them! Don't shoot me!

No!

Take it off!

Oh, man!

Oh, damn it.

What?

Gregor, it's Elena. I'm calling about Claudia.

What about Claudia?

She's our daughter, we need to discuss what will happen to her.

Okay, I'm on my way.

I'm really sorry. I have to go.

Something is up with Claudia.

I'll be back soon.

Fuck you!

Hi, honey. Like some wine?

You ruined my family evening. What is this?

Claudia's getting out tomorrow.

Yes, and she'll stay with me first, as we agreed.

With me and Barbara, because it's like family.

Did you really tell Barbara?

I mean, how did she react?

Of course I told her. Claudia is my daughter.

Barbara understands, of course.

I'm concerned about her.

Thanks, Gregor. I knew I'd found a good father for our daughter.

Yeah...

So... Shall we sit down?

I see you've already found your office.

It feels a bit empty.

- Good to have you back, Nelly. - It's good to be back.

As for the office... that will have to wait.

I have a case for you. Top priority. Come on.

- What is it? - Ill brief you on the way.

And bring your bag.

Henning, we agreed that I would take it easy.

We agreed on no foreign missions. This is Denmark.

- What's it about? - A homicide.

- Seven homicides. - Seven?

Yes, and I need my best man on the case.

And that's a woman, so come on.

- The scene is locked down? - Yes, everything's ready for you.

It's a former bed and breakfast, Pension Wenck.

We think it was one of those "Helping Hands" places.

- Helping Hands? - Locals sympathetic to refugees.

They find them sanctuaries when they go into hiding.

This is called Marsh Farm.

In the middle of Tønder Marsh, near the German border.

Henning, I need to go home for dinner with Buster. It's my new routine.

You're leading the case.

Make others do the work so you can leave when you want.

The man in the house is a German national, Bob Kellner.

- Currently missing. - So, it's a JIT.

Joint Investigation, yes, and you'll lead. A potential political bombshell.

The press, politicians, people, all berserk with crazy theories.

We have to keep cool. You'll have to keep cool.

It might be politically motivated.

- Terror. - Terror? In Tonder?

Yes, perhaps. We don't know yet.

- It could be anything. - Let's go.

Hi, honey. You're out already.

Breaking out isn't that hard.

Can I drive?

Passed your driving test in there?

No way. You're only 17.

- Hey... - You're unbelievable.

- Silli, can you please come out now? - Leave me alone.

Leon... Ben, here... Take your stuff.

We're here.

Claudia, you're back!

Will you please stop that!

Mum, I need my rucksack.

- You should close it. - What's wrong with Silke?

Did you miss me?

Dad! Piggyback!

- What's wrong? - The usual drama.

What is it? No, that's enough now.

Wasn't Claudia going to move in with Elena?

It's just for a short time.

She's only got one kid and she doesn't take care of her.

- I don't believe it. - Wait a second, okay?

- Bastian? - I...

Europol called us about a certain Bob Kellner.

He ran a brothel in Kaltenkirchen, you did him for human trafficking.

- That Bob Kellner! - Last night, seven people were killed.

Europol has a joint investigation team and seems like we're part of it.

Okay, listen... I'll come over later on.

Get all we have on this Bob Keliner guy.

Okay, will do. See you later.

So, how will this work? Where is she meant to sleep?

It's a big apartment. We'll find somewhere for her. Let's just see.

"We"? Yes, sure.

Then you take responsibility for her. Completely.

I deliver my book in three weeks or I'll be out of the game right away.

Yes. I know.

Let go. Let go. Let go.

You're so annoying!

I promise, when I have more time I'll do it all myself.

In your next life, huh?

- I have to go. - You see?

Barbara? I love you.

- I love you too. - Huh?

I love you too.

Carsten Holm.

- Schultz. - Nelly Winther.

- Welcome. - Thanks.

- Who reported it? - Helga, the one sitting over there.

On her morning walk with the dog.

- Would you like to talk to her? - Maybe later.

- Anyone in the house? - Not right now.

- Are you using that? - That one...

- Tina, another suit? - Sure.

Thanks.

Have you touched anything, moved anything around?

- Only cleansed it. - Thank you.

No access to the basement. It's underwater after the storm last night.

We'd like to see it. Ask your people to stay out.

- Carsten, do you have a moment? - Sure.

Let me know if you need anything.

Carsten Holm is all right considering he's from the redneck police.

- Can you manage? - Yes, sure.

A rifle is missing from the office. Has it been found?

No, I'll put out a call.

Monitor cables lead through the window. Can you look into that?

- Yes. - They were all executed.

The woman with a knife, others shot once or twice with a rifle, very professional.

No signs of violence or resistance. It happened really fast.

One may have had something removed from his stomach.

No indication of robbery.

Bob might know if anything's missing but he's gone.

- Any news from Germany? - Europol spoke with Hamburg.

They'll send someone. Gregor Weiss.

One victim is a Belgian national. Her license says Marwa Hassan.

I found this.

- You'd better wear this. - Why?

We're going to see the wolves.

- You can't be serious. - We have to brief them.

- Then I go back to Copenhagen. - Okay.

I found this. In a purse in one of the rooms.

- A CU coin. - CU?

- Caliphate Union? - Yes.

I obtained my Master's degree here.

I started with the intelligence service postgraduate programme

and I still work there now, my specialty being the Middle East.

Yes?

What's the key skill that helped you progress in Intelligence?

Working hard.

And also good technical knowledge

because that's one of the rapidly evolving aspects of information gathering.

And I'd love to discuss it further with you but we'll have to do that another time.

Thank you, everyone. And good luck.

- Is everything all right? - Van der Bourgh is here.

- Now? - Come.

Sir.

I have some bad news.

Europol are pressuring us about your informant, Marwa Hassan.

Marwa? Have they found her, then?

They found her, yes. Murdered.

It's a shame, Paula. She was a good informant.

We have a JIT set up with Denmark and Germany.

All Europol contact is through me and Denmark is handling the case locally.

But the question is who we'll send for us?

I think this is a case for Paula.

- Yeah? - Yes. Marwa was her informant.

We'll see. Paula, can you give a briefing right away?

Yes.

We're very interested in talking to Bob Kellner.

Anyone knowing where he is should contact the police.

- Might the murders be a terror attack? - Too soon to tell.

- We have no motive. - So you can't rule out terrorism?

We rule out nothing.

A little over a year ago, my informant Marwa Hassan came to me

and she told me her sister was radicalising.

Safa.

Now, Safa was involved with a young guy, Kairm Dadjou.

And Marwa told me that she and Karim wanted to go on an adventure together.

Syria, probably.

Yes, that's what Marwa thought,

that Safa and Karim wanted to fight for the terror militia Caliphate Union.

Ten months ago, they both suddenly disappeared.

I put out an APB for them and four months later, Europol came back with this.

A satellite image of Safa as a CU fighter.

I showed Marwa this image.

She got very upset, she wanted to go to Syria herself to get her sister.

I tried to talk her out of it, and... She seemed to listen.

She was rational and intelligent enough to understand.

But two months ago, she disappeared and...

It's not unusual for an informant, but still...

But... we don't know where her sister Safa is now?

No. And we don't know where her boyfriend Karim is either.

Most likely scenario is they both joined Caliphate Union in Syria.

The entire area where Safa was last seen

is being searched now via satellite or via local sources.

But we can't rule out the possibility

that the Marsh Farm murders are linked to terrorism.

- Okay. - Thank you.

It seems they only had two daughters.

- We're here about your daughter. - Safa, the slut.

No, Marwa.

Have you heard from her?

Do you know where she is?

I'm sorry to tell you this,

but the body of a girl has been found in a house in Denmark.

She matches Marwa's description. She was murdered.

- Safa is the one who died. - We don't know where Safa is.

But Marwa's body has been found in a house in Denmark.

When they finish the forensic examinations,

the body will be brought back to you in Belgium.

Have you received any messages from Safa?

Has she been in touch with you?

Do you have any idea what Marwa was doing in Denmark?

No!

Was anyone following Marwa?

Was anyone threatening her?

I have to ask, has anyone from Caliphate Union contacted you?

Leave my house now!

We still have a chance of finding Safa.

I'm sorry, but you have to leave.

If there's anything you know, please...

Marwa is alive. Safa is dead.

She died the day she went to Syria.

I think we'd better leave.

I want justice for Marwa too.

She wasn't just my informant, she was also my friend.

Marwa may have been your informant, but she was my daughter.

How dare you compare the two?

I looked after her my whole life. And you put her in danger.

You manipulated her and now my daughter's body is in a foreign country.

- Come... - You call that friendship, do you?

I will bring you your daughter's body, I promise you.

I'm sorry.

Here's my card.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Bob served his sentence without causing any trouble.

He got out six years ago, married a Danish woman,

moved to Denmark and since then he kept his nose clean.

Okay, so we don't know what he's been up to in those six years?

Unfortunately not.

- Maybe he set up something new? - In Denmark?

Why not? Three of the dead were Danes

and all, including Bob's wife Agnes, were in Helping Hands.

But Helping Hands aren't criminals.

Not directly, but sympathetic liberals going too far... who knows?

Okay, Helping Hands help refugees.

Marsh Farm is located directly on the route

from Southern Europe to Esbjerg and then on to England.

Bob has a background in human trafficking, right?

Seven people were killed and Bob went on the run.

If he's the murderer, he hasn't been straight for six years.

So there's more to come from him.

You mean targeted attacks?

Okay, then check for any similar shelters in the area.

We have to find out about his Denmark contacts.

Who would hide him, help him, who are his friends.

- I'll do that. - We need a way to flush Bob out.

Say, doesn't he have a brother?

Yes, um...

Rudi.

But he's here, on the Reeperbahn. He's just small fry.

Of course, we interrogated him once in connection with the first case.

Ah, that little arsehole. Okay, let's go and check it out.

How lovely.

Dear friends, if I could have your attention for a moment.

Bella?

Ah, there you are, sweetie.

Mummy!

As you all know, Bella is celebrating her 4th birthday today, right?

And Tebos, myself and above all Bella are really happy that you're all here.

Soon we'll sing "Happy Birthday" for Bella

but first, sweetie, you have to blow out your candles.

Mr Adams, it's so nice you could come.

My father always considered you a close friend of the family

and of course a visionary businessman and colleague.

I'm so pleased we're able to carry on this tradition.

This is rather extravagant for a four-year-old's birthday, isn't it?

Nothing is too much effort for my little Bella.

We're so lucky. Lucy is simply the best.

Would you maybe like a slice of birthday cake?

I'm not here to eat cake.

I'm here to say that I don't appreciate when people squander my investment.

Six months ago, I asked you to acquire a very rare work for me.

You have obviously achieved nothing at all.

Yes, well... We have certainly...

Tebos and his team are working on it day and night.

But to show you how much we appreciate your patience,

we've prepared a little surprise for you.

So if I could take you to our gallery downstairs?

Go ahead.

We'd love to show you our latest pieces.

They've just arrived.

Careful, now.

Voilà.

Here are our really unique pieces.

Just for you, Mr Adams.

When I saw this piece, I immediately thought of you.

It's from the Fatima Dynasty, right?

Fatimid, yes, circa 900 AD, carved from a single piece of rock crystal.

Only seven examples survive.

The eighth mysteriously went missing from a museum in Florence.

- Have you thought about a price? - Have we, Tebos?

Not yet. But it is guaranteed genuine. Antique, original Islamic art.

I'd imagine a cheque for 200,000 should cover it?

Yes, absolutely.

- We should drink to that. - You'd like that, wouldn't you?

You won't get another cent out of me

until you and your husband deliver what you promised.

In the meantime, I'll be keeping this wonderful piece as security.

Our "search" on behalf of Richard Adams...

How is it going?

Slow... but sure.

It looks like we'll need it a bit sooner after all.

It would be good if you could maybe give our friends a little push.

I can do that.

But you need to know that if we push these people too hard, they'll push back.

And hard.

Slightly too bitter.

How long was Claudia in jail?

Nine months. She shoved a policeman at a demo.

Takes after her dad.

The worst part is that it's two suspended sentences.

First they set fire to a McDonald's and then she broke in at Brunsbüttel.

She broke into a nuclear power station?

Well, let's say she managed to get over the fence.

He's here.

- Two, please. - Coming right up.

Hi, cutie.

Remember me?

Where were you going, huh? Where were you going?

Nowhere.

- Then why did you run? - Because I can.

- You just ordered a drink, right? - Yes. What do you guys want?

Oh, what's this?

No! That stuff's worth 300 euros.

- What's your brother Bob up to? - Bob?

I haven't seen him for 18 months.

Sure.

He lives in Denmark, a total recluse.

He has a business, import-export, shit like that, with some woman.

- Agnes. - Yeah, that's right. Agnes.

Listen, Bob doesn't talk to me anymore.

Since he got out of prison he lives like a priest.

We need to know where Bob is. Do yourself a favour and tell us.

I have no idea, man.

Okay, fine.

- Can I go now, then? - Yeah, piss off.

- You're not serious? - No, of course not.

But if they're in contact, he'll call him.

- We've tapped his phone, right? - Yes.

I'll drive there myself and check it out.

- I'll be in touch, okay? - Yes.

They found a Caliphate Union coin in that house in Denmark.

- On Marwa's body? - Yes. In her wallet.

So chances are they'll link that case to ours.

And to terrorism, of course.

While I'm in Denmark, find out where that coin came from.

It might lead us to Safa and Karim.

You just said it yourself, it's a CU coin.

Yes, but I mean the exact location.

Ask Forensics to look for pollen and dust particles

and who stamped that coin.

They could find out from informants where they're fighting now.

Okay.

Babe, look what beautiful vegetables we're growing.

Our little garden is yielding, enough for our first event this weekend.

- Hello. - Good day. And you are?

Jan Verhoeven, a colleague. Nice to meet you.

Thomas, Paula's boyfriend.

Babe, why are you packing?

Sorry, I'll have to miss this weekend.

There's a major case at work and I'm in Denmark for a JIT.

- A what? - Joint Investigation Team.

Several countries working together on the same case.

What about Something Organic's first event?

I know. Sorry, babe.

Right, I'll have to single-handedly save the world with organic food.

Yes, sorry. I have to drive her to the airport now or she'll miss her flight.

Babe, I love you.

I'm very proud of you and you'll do a fantastic job.

- See you. - Ciao.

It's really nice, organic. I prefer eating it, too. A lot more taste.

- What have you got? - Bob put cameras in his nesting boxes.

That one as well. A night vision camera.

It only records when it's dark or if it senses heat from an animal.

Then it records for eight seconds. Look at this.

Try and play the other one.

Video number 2 was recorded

no more than 15 seconds after video number 1.

Please play it again.

There he is.

Can you play the first one?

- The woman... Who is she? - No idea.

Find her. She may still be alive.

- Understood. - Tell Carsten it's urgent.

Danish police have not stated whether or not it was targeted killing...

- I hope it fits. - Thank you.

I'm going to check the area.

We're going out together in a moment.

Bob Kellner, police!

Bob Kellner is located. Badly wounded, send an ambulance.

The bird-watching tower. Send back-up too.

Understood. Responding now.

Where the hell are you? We're under fire!

Suspect male in a green rain jacket carrying a rifle.

Come on.

Shit!
