Original subtitles

The police are searching for Robert Zeuthen's nine-year-old daughter, Emilie,

who disappeared from her home earlier this evening.

- What are you doing to find her? - Sarah Lund. Who is this?

The girl's all right. I'm collecting on a debt. What's she worth to you?

The next time you consider paying small change for a girl's life...

then consider this.

We're looking into a connection between this case and the Zeuthen kidnapping.

Those killed may have been instrumental in closing the case.

- Did you speak to the public prosecutor? - Not at all.

Robert, we can't postpone this. We need to make a decision.

- I'll pay anything to get her back. - He used the words 'small change'.

- Is she alive? - We assume so.

- Has he done anything to her? - Not as far as we can see.

We're struggling with Zeeland. There's a financial crisis.

- Is the girl alive? - We're checking several leads.

There's a possible connection between the murders and a certain police case.

- How did Ussing get the information? - You need to speak to Rosa Lebech.

They're going to question an official, who may have a motive, Jens Lebech.

Rosa Lebech's ex-husband?

When you're struggling with something emotional, you tend to do a runner.

She was heavily pregnant. She probably doesn't want him to say.

I asked to meet you. We could use a place to sleep for a few days.

Mum, we'll manage. See you.

The family is willing to pay 100 million kroner.

This is Lis Vissenbjerg from Forensics calling about the autopsy report.

It's not correct. The prosecutor said, I'd lose my job if I didn't obey.

The deal is off. I can get more out of it than that.

THE KILLING III

- What's your ETA at Forensics? - A few minutes. We're on our way.

- What is Lund's position? - I can't get through to her. Hurry up.

Roger that. We'll hurry.

- We'll be there soon. - He's gone. I've looked everywhere.

The coroner's been killed, but I think I've found what she wanted to show us.

It's an autopsy report, but not the one we've seen.

It's dated earlier. It hasn't been stamped, so I think...

What? Hello? Sarah?

Borch?

Drop the gun.

He won't have time to pull the trigger, if you shoot.

Drop the gun, Lund. I'm going to count to three.

- One... two... - Sarah, shoot!

...three.

Why didn't you shoot?

Do you think, his life is worth more than the girl's?

I'll give you one last chance, Lund, to bring me an interesting offer.

One chance.

I'll call tomorrow.

She's been conscious but she was sedated, and her blood has been tapped.

- Did he say this is our last chance? - He'll call tomorrow. What about Borch?

You left 100 million without telling me, so I hope you've found something out.

The coroner called to say that she wanted to show me these papers.

That's the original autopsy report. She's made various notes,

which could indicate that the girl didn't commit suicide.

The assistant public prosecutor pressed her into removing them from the report.

We need to talk to the officer who investigated the old case.

So, it's because of this, people are getting killed?

We also need to ask Zeuthen if he knows anything about it. I'll check on Borch.

We talked to people. Nobody's heard or seen anything at the camp site.

You need to find more than that, or we don't have a damned thing.

- Are you OK? - I'm fine.

- Were there any witnesses? - No.

Why the hell didn't you shoot? We had him.

- Why didn't you pull the trigger? - The campervan's with the technical unit.

Go check it out right now. We need something fast.

- You should have shot him. - Then we couldn't have found the girl.

You're a good shot. You could have hit him in the arm or the leg.

If you hadn't interfered, I would have had him.

- You had him! I said I was OK. - Yes, but I wasn't.

I don't understand...

You were standing there. Is that so damn difficult to understand?

You were in the way.

So, I couldn't.

Don't move too much. It's a deep gash and can easily open up.

The police confirm that another person's been killed.

Supposedly a coroner.

- The kidnapper wasn't after the money. - Why not?

I don't know, but he's called again to arrange a new exchange tomorrow.

- Did he mention Emilie? - No.

Did he say why he didn't want the money?

No.

He apparently said, that this is our last chance to interest him.

The 100 million is on its way to the National Bank...

Let me out. I'd like to get out.

Stop the car. I want to get out now!

Maja, stop!

We're not getting her back. Don't you see?

- He's just putting pressure on us. - She's probably already dead.

She knows we're coming for her. We will get her back!

Why didn't you let me take her home?

She just needed to go home.

I promise you, that we'll get her back.

OK? I promise you.

PM Kamper broke off his electoral tour in Jutland to return to Christiansburg.

Leader of the Opposition, Anders Ussing,

accuses the government of negligence in the case of Emilie Zeuthen,

who's now been missing for three days.

Another person has been killed, and a new attempt to retrieve the girl

was not carried through as planned. The perpetrator's motive is unclear.

Neither the police nor Special Branch have made a statement.

Ussing believes that the murders could have been avoided,

if the Justice Minister, Mogens Rank, hadn't ignored serious danger signals.

I apologise for not returning your call.

But now an official has informed me, that we did know about the old case.

I was in a meeting about the exchange, so I was hoping...

- Just tell me about the case. - It was an uncomplicated case.

A 13-year-old girl was found dead in a harbour in West Jutland.

The case also involved three Zeeland sailors.

And that, of course, is why the case went by my desk.

- Why 'of course'? - I know how much Zeeland means.

But the girl had committed suicide,

so, from the sidelines, I ascertained that the case was considered solved.

Last night you said that you knew nothing about this case.

Yes, and I do apologise. I had forgotten about it.

- Forgotten about it? - Yes. Well... I had.

I'll have to ask my officials for an explanation.

And when you'd received an indictment, when the three sailors had been killed,

and later the public prosecutor, who'd been involved in the case,

- still no bells started ringing? - No.

No.

I didn't have that case present. It was of no importance!

Have you at any time been partial in this case?

- Did you intervene? - Excuse me, what do you mean?

Of course not. And there was nothing to suggest the case wasn't solved.

No, but there bloody well is now!

Emilie Zeuthen's life is depending on this case.

The perpetrator has just told us, this is our last chance of getting her home.

That I should have intervened or kept secrets is absurd, it's outrageous!

And it's not my fault that the case was leaked to Ussing.

If Special Branch are right in their suspicions of a certain official,

who is Rosa Lebech's ex-husband, you damn well can't blame me for that!

Until further notice you'll make no statements in this case.

And answer your phone, when I call.

I don't trust Mogens. We need to check his story.

I couldn't get sushi, but you need to eat.

Have the secretary at the Ministry of Justice check all minutes and journals,

from when Mogens received the case, until it was considered solved.

The Treasurer wants a meeting.

Did you speak to the head of Special Branch?

Yes, he's on his way.

They're questioning Jens Lebech now. Eat, while it's hot.

I want all info from the police and Special Branch,

when the Ministry of Justice gets it,

and Karen, set up a press conference. The public has a right to be told.

I've muzzled Mogens, so I'll handle it, and I want Zeuthen informed in person.

Wait!

We cancelled meetings in Jutland, we agreed not to get drawn into the case.

If we'd stayed there, we'd have been accused of dithering.

The press will make him the face of this. What if it doesn't end well?

- We'll just make sure, that it does. - Stoffer, it's time you said something.

Come on.

Karen's right. You're taking this too personally, and I understand.

Emilie Zeuthen's disappearance worries you deeply. Will she come home alive?

We want to help.

You may have personal reasons to get involved, but you can't.

I know what I'm doing, thanks. Set up that press conference,

and get things moving at the Ministry of Justice, now.

He must have kept her in the campervan when it was at the site.

But it was probably too risky to bring her down to the gravel pit,

so he drove her somewhere else.

We haven't found any leads.

What the hell does he want, if not 100 million?

Is this all you have?

- Is he just out to kill people? - Tell me what you have.

We've found blond hair and bits of food in the back of the cabin.

He probably put her in front of the TV to watch her in the rear view mirror.

The camper was stolen two weeks ago,

from a used car dealer, who also knew nothing.

- Was she able to look out? - A limited view through the windscreen.

The curtains are taped up. There's no view out from the toilet.

Emilie's parents have arrived.

- Let Borch deal with it. - Borch has gone to Jutland.

Brix and Special Branch wanted someone to look into the old case.

You should've shot him, when you had the chance.

We'll go through it all one more time. There must be something here.

Everything suggests that Emilie is getting enough food and drink,

and she's allowed to play.

Do these things mean anything to you?

They're things she likes to play with. He couldn't have known that.

He may have asked her, but I think he's just trying to make her feel secure,

so that she'll cooperate with him.

But it's more likely that he knew about these things before.

You've no idea...

No! How do you know he doesn't want the money, when you ignored the plan?

Because he hasn't been anywhere near it.

So far, he's just accepted the offers in order to do other things.

Those killed were all involved in the same police case.

A 13-year-old girl was found dead in a harbour by three Zeeland sailors.

- I've told you, I know nothing about it. - But it means a lot to the perpetrator.

- The girl appears to have been killed. - How are you involved in this case?

I'm not. I've no idea what you're talking about.

No, but if anyone at Zeeland knows about the case, we want to know.

It may help save your daughter's life.

I'll have it looked into. What are you doing?

- Where is she? - We're still investigating leads.

So, you have no idea where she is?

When he calls again, you tell him that we'll pay anything. There's no ceiling.

And you do as he says.

She scratched her name. She knows we're looking for her. Maybe she's trying...

We've searched the campervan, but we didn't find anything.

I want to see her room. There must be a clue to what she knows.

- The police have already searched it. - I don't care, I want to go, now.

He's been able to see her all the time.

I've been through the toilet roll. There's nothing on it.

She's been able to look out here.

We need something dusted over here.

Top C. 03. KPS.

Top Camping. She's written where she's been.

Ring Three. The ring road. That's the route from the camp site to the gravel pit.

She's trying to tell us where she is.

You weren't aware of the old case? The Justice Minister didn't mention it?

No. We would have liked to have known about it earlier,

but the Minister is right in saying, that on paper it doesn't seem important.

The Justice Minister is your employer, so, I know you're weighing your answers,

but is there any reason to believe that he actively intervened in the case?

He would have had to be in contact with the dead prosecutor. No sign of that.

- But you have investigated it? - Yes, we've asked for his calendar etc.

It's in his own interest.

I doubt he'd intervene because of a few sailors.

What's his relationship with Zeeland?

He has ties to Robert Zeuthen's father. They went hunting, sailing and such.

But that doesn't necessarily mean that he did anything illegal in the case.

No, I damn well hope not.

And no news about the leaked documents from the Ministry of Justice?

No, Ussing claims he received the information anonymously.

But we're questioning Jens Lebech, who's had both motive and opportunity.

For obvious reasons I can't discuss that.

The priority is getting the girl back. I assume you're doing all you can.

I promise you.

We're ready for the press conference. Rosa Lebech wants a word with you.

Say I'll call afterwards, and tell her not to worry about the alliance.

She's come all the way from Jutland, so it's hardly just about the alliance.

Your estate agent has called about some water damage in the old house.

- Would you deal with it? - I already did.

What the hell is going on?

I had to go, but it's still too early to pass judgment on the Justice Minister.

I'm not here to talk about him.

What are you and Special Branch doing with Jens?

He was picked up at home in front of the kids.

Sorry to hear that. Special Branch have a suspicion.

Let's wait and hear what they say.

So, you knew they would pick him up when we were on stage in Jutland?

I knew that they had a suspicion. Confidential information's been leaked.

And you think it's him, because he knows about us.

He's known for two weeks. I didn't want to lie to him.

That doesn't give you the right to suspect him of anything.

I do understand your concerns, but if he's innocent, he'll be released.

I get into trouble all the time, because everything is about you.

I have to defend you to my group, and now to my family.

If your ex has leaked confidential files, you have him to thank for this mess.

- He's innocent, so, have him released. - I can't!

Can we meet later on today?

You can call my press officer.

The head of Special Branch asked you to call.

I'll do it after the press conference.

According to the Justice Minister's diary he had a meeting with a business group,

that included the public prosecutor, while the old case was being solved.

What is Mogens saying?

He can't remember, but he says he's never met the prosecutor.

It was the ring road. The campervan passed here around 12.14.

- But he took exit 18. - Shit. We just passed it.

- Then turn around. - OK.

No, take the next exit.

That's where the camper came back an hour later.

There's an industrial area after exit 14.

We'll check it out. I'll call you back.

- Eva Laursen has called several times. - I don't know her.

She says she's your son's girlfriend. She left a number.

The investigator has arrived. Any news on that place, KPS?

No, not yet. Any news from Borch?

No, he's just landed.

Why is he running around over there?

- It just doesn't seem justifiable. - Let his wife worry about that.

I'd like to help, but I've already spoken to your colleagues twice this afternoon.

Sorry, but do you remember if anybody disagreed with the handling of the case?

- Who would have disagreed? - Family, relations, boyfriends.

Not that I recall. The deceased was in foster care and moved a lot.

There wasn't much to disagree with.

An autopsy report has turned up, likely to be the original.

It suggests the girl was the victim of a crime.

Some injuries seem to have happened before she ended up in the harbour.

Can I have a look?

- You've never seen that report? - No, I certainly haven't.

The coroner said, the public prosecutor pressed her to write a false report.

Do you have any idea what she meant by that?

- Pressed? What pressure? - Was the case discontinued?

Were there any irregularities in the investigation?

No, we did it by the book. The sailors reported finding the girl in the harbour.

The autopsy report I received said it was a suicide.

How did you find this?

The man who's taken Zeuthen's daughter has killed several individuals,

who, like yourself, are familiar with this case.

We can, of course, offer you protection, if you feel threatened or vulnerable.

No, that's not necessary.

I'm going down the Police Association to cheat at cards.

- I won't need much protection there. - That sounds nice, but I insist.

It's not necessary. I'm sorry I couldn't be any more help.

I think maybe you can. Sit down.

Why are you in such a hurry to go abroad? You booked a flight to Bangkok today,

leaving in a few hours. Who are you afraid of?

- Do you know something? - Is it illegal to travel?

Shortly after the case was closed, you moved to Copenhagen. Why?

- Stress. Work related. I found a job... - If you know something, then tell us.

Listen, I came here voluntarily!

Find a cell for our colleague here. He knows his rights.

We have reason to suspect that you're withholding important information.

The interrogation will begin soon.

I don't know anything. What is this?

We've been through everything.

Maybe she's written something down.

Something that explains how he got her to talk about those things.

The police have searched the place. Maybe Emilie felt like talking to him.

She knows not to confide in strangers.

She knows to be careful and tell her dad or me.

I checked if the firm had anything on the old case, and I found a note.

The police contacted Personnel to ask about the three sailors,

but their papers were in order. That's all it says.

Who were the executives back then?

Could someone have influenced the case?

I haven't looked into that.

Get a hold of the directors. I want to make sure we're not hiding anything.

Hiding what?

Maja is looking for the smallest thing that may bring Emilie back.

- Perhaps one ought to look elsewhere. - The PM has held a press conference.

His people called but they're not giving a satisfactory review of the situation.

What's happening? Have you done something?

Has Zeeland? Is that what this is all about?

- Borch. - Hi, it's Lund.

Did you hear that we've detained the investigator?

Yes. I was at the local police station scanning reports. Did you get them?

I have them right here. I'm convinced he knows something.

I'll grill him tomorrow morning.

What was that? Where are you?

The sheriff took me down to the harbour to see where the body was found.

Could KPS be a closed down company?

Yes, but we haven't found anything yet.

I have to go. I just want to say, that I understand why you didn't shoot.

Oh. Yes. Good.

I probably didn't explain myself well. I hope you don't...

That's all right considering the circumstances.

Sarah? Hello?

Sarah?

I'm sorry.

Come, take a seat.

Breathe, take deep breaths, all the way down to the stomach.

I've tried calling you. You said we could just turn up.

- You told us where the extra key was. - Where's Mark?

It's probably just me and the hormones pumping through my body,

but I think he's having second thoughts. We had a row.

I got upset and left, and then I came here.

Does he know where you are?

I left a message, but he hasn't called.

That doesn't mean he's having second thoughts.

It gets to me, that the flat hasn't been done up yet.

We have no money, and he keeps coming up with things that aren't right.

I'm sure things will work out. Mark has his apprenticeship.

No, he quit to drive a cab.

He doesn't earn much even though he's working constantly.

I've said to him, we'll be all right, but his mind wanders someplace else.

He only touches my stomach, when I ask him to.

And we're not exactly acrobatic in bed, as long as I've got this one.

So, it wasn't planned?

No, it wasn't.

Mark was so happy about it.

He said he wanted a real family more than anything, because he never had one.

He didn't want to end up like you.

Sorry, I shouldn't have said that.

- That's all right. - Would you like me to leave?

No, no.

- Hello. - Are you OK?

Yes, I just had a visitor. I have the papers in front of me.

There are several pages you should note before talking to the investigator again.

- I've put crosses. I hope it's useful. - OK, thanks. See you.

I'll have a word with him tomorrow.

You can sleep in my bed. It's all right.

Thank you.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12

We spent the night checking closed down industrial areas and empty buildings.

- We haven't found anything yet. - Did anyone see the campervan?

No. Maybe he misled us.

Maybe he knew there were cameras on the ring road,

so, he sent us looking around exit 18.

I'll have someone search further out.

Also check towards the harbour. Call me if you find something.

- Do you have the phone with you? - Has the investigator said anything?

He's been here for ten hours without saying anything of importance.

Lund, he's a colleague after all.

I'd like to have more on him than a trip to Thailand, before we go in.

Good morning. We're in a hurry,

so this is your last chance to answer. After that, you'll be on your own.

You have nothing. Let me go or put me before a judge.

You assumed that Louise Hjelby ran away and drowned herself five days later.

During those five days nobody saw her, and that didn't concern you?

- Have I understood that correctly? - Yes, she wandered. She was a loner.

When forensics established that this 13-year-old girl was sexually active,

that didn't strike you as odd, even though she'd never had a boyfriend?

Youngsters keep quiet about those things

and by the way, can we trust the coroner?

You readily concluded that the girl weighed herself down in the water

with this concrete block, which she, at 46 kilos, couldn't possibly have moved.

The block may already have been on the pier.

You knew it was likely that the girl was taken and sexually abused.

Then, while she was still alive, she was tied to that and pushed in the harbour.

In a minute, I'll inform a judge that you're covering up a murder.

Understood?

It could be your fault that we're dealing with a kidnapping and several murders.

- Discuss that with the judge. - I was just trying to do my job.

We suspected the three Zeeland sailors. The ship had called at port.

The rest of the crew were discharged, so they had the ship to themselves.

I didn't have anything solid on them, so I waited for the autopsy.

Then the assistant public prosecutor came with the report and called it a suicide.

- And you didn't object? - Of course I did, but he pressured me.

- I had applied for the job as Chief. - Did he explain the pressure?

Why would the sailors report finding her in the harbour, if they'd killed her?

The rope on the concrete block had become entangled in the screw.

- I assumed that to be the reason. - But they didn't admit anything?

The mate said that all they wanted was to help solve the case.

After speaking to the public prosecutor they all clammed up and sailed on.

- Who knew about this apart from you? - No one. I didn't speak about it.

And I got the job. I broke down from stress.

Someone's found out. Come on, you know something.

About a month after the case was closed, a man turned up.

He didn't believe it was a suicide. He wanted us to reopen the case.

What man?

In his 40s, Danish. I thought he was family, but she didn't have any.

He left without telling me who he was.

- And he only showed up a month later? - Yes.

He was working on an oil rig.

Probably for Zeeland who have lots over there.

- Lund, you have a visitor. - Contact Zeeland.

Get photos of all the men who've worked on their rigs in the North Sea,

around the time of the case.

Focus on men between 30 and 50.

What will happen to me now?

It was the public prosecutor who gave the order.

- What the hell was I supposed to do? - You should have said no.

Did you speak to Eva? She slept at mine last night.

She's afraid that you have doubts about the whole thing.

I told her to calm down, and said that she could trust you.

- If it's about money, you can always... - What if I do have my doubts?

It's probably quite natural to feel a little confused.

But I'm not confused.

You must have had plenty of regrets, when you were expecting me.

I thought if I just endured your mess in my life, I could play happy families,

but what if I'm just as fucked up as you?

I don't see how we could do much better than you and dad.

So, what's the point in pretending?

- I have to take this call. - All right, I'm leaving.

- No, Mark... - I don't know why I bother with you?

Mark!

Lund speaking.

It's a shame you got a hold of the investigator.

I had a big surprise for him at the airport.

If he's guilty, he'll be punished,

and I can help you with that, if you give yourself up.

I don't have much faith in the courts.

- But perhaps you've solved the case. - I need more time.

How did you know the girl and how did you find out?

I can't give you more time, but I'd like to hear your story.

We're aware that an error was made back then.

An error? Did you really say that?

Can you call it an error if a whole society fails when it matters?

Are you also the kind who complies, when you see gold that glitters,

now that the crisis bites, and the kingdom needs money?

What's Zeuthen offering this time?

Does he still think he's rich enough to get his life back?

Are we talking 200 million? 500 million?

He's asked me to tell you that he'll pay anything.

- There's no ceiling. - Then he hasn't learned a thing.

I have a suggestion.

Special Branch say that Mogens didn't speak to the prosecutor at that meeting.

- Are they sure about that? - He made his presentation and left.

But the public prosecutor visited the Ministry of Justice shortly after.

The public prosecutors were invited for canapιs and some legal information.

- Did Mogens speak to him? - He couldn't remember.

- But they're looking into that now. - Does that man remember anything?

No, I don't think so. Neither do the newspapers.

The press conference didn't help. Everyone doubts Mogens.

And Ussing claims that we've failed and misinformed Zeuthen.

Try to set up a meeting with Zeuthen, so I can explain the situation in person.

- Stop here. - Why are we stopping?

It's about the water damage. I've made an appointment. It'll only take a minute.

Why are you in here?

He didn't think that this room was big enough.

We talked about him having the big room down in the basement

with a separate entrance.

He spoke well for himself, and the agreement was,

that we would move his things down, as soon as my holiday started.

- Kristian? - Yes?

I spoke to Zeuthen's personal assistant.

You're welcome in the holy halls later.

Any news on the girl?

No.

There's news from the perpetrator and... it doesn't sound good.

What's Zeuthen offering this time?

Does he still think he's rich enough to get his life back?

Are we talking 200 million? 500 million?

He's asked me to tell you, that he'll pay anything.

There's no ceiling.

Then he hasn't learned a thing.

I have a suggestion.

If Zeuthen will pay anything, then by all means let him.

He had nothing to do with the old case. Give me more time.

A life for a life.

Don't you think that's reasonable?

I'll get Zeuthen, and you'll get the girl.

If he loves his daughter enough, then he will save her.

No one can agree to that. You must know that.

I'll call back in four hours.

Have a car ready, you and Robert Zeuthen.

It's a preposterous demand. One that we can't comply with.

But we need to ask if you still don't have any idea

what this is all about?

Anything?

Anything that may help us catch him and find your daughter?

Don't you have the slightest idea, who may be so resentful towards you?

Someone you've met, or someone you didn't know?

No.

- Can't you trace the call? - No, regrettably.

We'll give you a bodyguard for the rest of the day.

We've been asked to provide photos of our employees in the oil division.

- For what reason? - A possible lead, and it's urgent.

- A former Zeeland employee? - I'm on my way.

Asbjψrn thinks he's found the place.

I would ask you not to do anything this time.

We'll be in touch.

Let Maja know right away.

She's asked to go to the house to pick up some things for Carl.

- Tell her that I'll come there. - But we have a meeting with the PM.

I'll take care of it.

Special Branch have just released Jens Lebech,

but he's still a suspect.

- Any news on the girl? - Not since the last time you asked.

Robert Zeuthen is ready now. I do apologise for the wait.

Let me take it.

- I'll step outside for a bit. - My brother knows what he is doing.

If Mogens is involved in something, then we have to know about it.

Yes, it's Stoffer. That sounds good.

Do tell.

It's a difficult situation, so I'll be brief.

I assure you, that the government and I are doing everything in our power

to get your daughter back home.

The opposition have spread a rumour to the contrary.

And I regret the kidnapping becoming a part of the election campaign.

Personally, I think it's indecent.

I assure you that I and the government support you and your family.

So, there's no truth to what they're saying in the press?

No, any uncertainty or doubt about the handling of the case,

will be cleared up. That's my responsibility.

The police have informed me that they know where your daughter is,

and that hopefully she'll be back home soon.

Yes, I hope so.

Excuse me. The police called.

They have searched the place but unfortunately they didn't find her.

They will continue searching the area.

You'll have to excuse me. Thank you for coming.

Good news.

Mogens wasn't at the Ministry, when the public prosecutor dropped by.

He was called to Strasbourg that morning. Now we've done our checking.

Special Branch haven't found anything on Mogens either,

so it's reliable.

She must be here somewhere.

Maybe she saw the graffiti driving past somewhere else.

KPS must mean something. It's the last thing she wrote.

Yes.

Roger that.

How the hell could that happen?

We need to search the whole area. She may still be close.

Find an officer to stand in for Zeuthen.

Then we're covered if we don't find her.

Did the investigator have a look at the photos of Zeeland employees?

They were all sent to his cell.

But it didn't help much.

PM Kamper and opposition leader Ussing locked horns in an election debate

where the PM answered the opposition's criticism of the government,

and in particular of Mogens Rank.

Your smear campaign was based on lies, and you haven't given us the source.

The Justice Minister knew about a case that could have prevented a kidnapping.

There were no discrepancies in that case.

I have confidence in my Justice Minister.

Now, perhaps we should start talking politics?

That's perfect. Good.

They want you on the news.

All the papers want a comment.

No tour in Jutland would get this much coverage.

Did they find the girl?

It wasn't Special Branch. I'll call on the road.

The Treasurer says all is calm in the group. Everyone's happy.

Kristian?

I want to say that I'm sorry about all the unnecessary trouble this has caused.

But you've handled the whole chain of events fantastically well.

I'm sure that it will be reflected, when it comes to counting votes.

I'm aware that things need to be tightened up at my Ministry.

I've already taken such steps. Well, I'll hurry back then,

and keep an eye on the situation,

so this whole thing gets the best possible outcome... for everyone.

Mogens, one minute.

Regardless of what I just said on TV, it doesn't excuse your forgetfulness.

People have been killed, a girl has been taken, and you have done nothing useful.

You will be sidelined in this case,

and you do nothing without my consent.

And should we win the election, don't expect any phone call.

Any questions?

Good.

- You can't sack him now. Are you crazy? - We just got this under control.

If the girl isn't found, you've just made sure that we'll foot the bill.

Do you know what that means?

- I know what I'm doing. - Do you?

If you disagree, you can join Mogens on the sidelines until after the election.

But I'd like an update from Special Branch and the police right now.

- Yes. - It's Jens Lebech.

As you know, we have a lot in common.

We should meet as soon as possible.

If you really are Jens Lebech, there's no need to talk.

You've been telling Rosa, that I'm to blame for all this,

but it doesn't hold water.

- How did you get this number? - What's happening?

Regarding the old case, it's all about who intervened, and even more so, why.

I'm going to hang up now.

No one would believe, not even the Prime Minister,

that it was because a bunch of regular sailors were involved, or would he?

Let's hope the Zeuthen girl survives. You have my number.

OK. Thank you.

- What did they say? - They'll set the other thing in motion.

But they're still looking and believe that they will find her.

I'm sorry that Carsten accused you.

I should have kept my mouth shut.

I know that you'd never do anything to hurt our children.

I can't find the car.

It's my safari car. Maybe Emilie took it with her on holiday.

Did you play with it in the garden? You and Mum can go look for it.

- I'll be out in a minute. - Come on, Carl, let's find it.

I'm pretty sure the maid brought everything in from the garden.

Did you get a response from the firm about the old police case?

I've requested it, but there are always a few people who don't bother responding.

- Thank you. - What do you have in mind?

Don't worry, we'll find the car. Ask Dad.

- Here it is. - Thanks.

What's Robert doing?

What about Asbjψrn, any news? You found the place, right?

We're still searching. We may have a photo of the perpetrator.

- There's not enough time to confirm it. - OK, I'll be landing soon.

Try buying us more time when he calls. He'd see straight through a stand-in...

I need to go.

He'd soon know that it isn't me. And he said, this is our last chance.

We have an operational plan and more people looking for her.

If I come along, you'll be more likely to catch him.

Yes, OK.

Management refers me to the Commissioner,

and he's vanished into thin air.

If they won't make a decision, we'll have to do it.

I don't want Zeuthen anywhere near the perp.

We haven't heard from Asbjψrn.

If he asks to speak to Zeuthen on this phone, what do I do then?

His instructions are clear, and we have to follow them. We'll protect Zeuthen.

We can't find her. Have you found out anything else?

Then go back to exit 18 and start over.

Prepare Zeuthen.

Are you coming or what?

Juncker, we need to go.

Hi, it's Mark, leave a message.

The car's ready.

- Yes, we're ready. - Good, then let's get started.

You'll take the motorway south. I'll call you back shortly.

And, Lund... remember, this is our last chance.
