Hey.

Klaus Nygaard. Hi, Frank Nordling.

Could I steal a couple of minutes of your time?

Frank Nordling, yes, certainly.

I know who you are, and not just because I followed you in court

in the media last year.

A bit hard to miss.

Yeah, I knew your father. I had a great deal of respect for him.

I actually remember you from the funeral, well, vaguely.

It was a huge loss. It's terrible no one was convicted

and now Thomas Waldman is at large.

- Yeah. - What can I do for you?

Yes, well I'm... Holding a class in law school

about practical process in the supreme court

in Sweden versus Denmark.

I'd like to discuss the matter of presenting new evidence with you.

Yes, I'd love to. When would be a good time?

Today? I'll be in Copenhagen all day. Maybe I could buy you lunch?

Yes, I have half an hour around 11. Should we just find a place?

Fantastic! Thank you!

THE LAWYER

Yes?

Nora Jepsen, the prison guard, she's... gone.

Any traces?

None, but her mail is here, anyway. Her mailbox has about a week's mail.

Or something like that.

- Get Frank. - Okay.

Okay. Go on.

Since Interpol has frozen the Spanish cash payments from the sale

of the holding company, I've looked over a few other

possibilities to procure assets for you to get out of the country.

Who asked you to do this, Svend-Erik?

Be nice and listen to Svend-Erik.

There are debts you could collect. Establishments that you could sell,

among others, Donna's Coffee Bar, Speed Logistic and Mille's corner.

That's just small business, I'm not interested.

Mille's Corner in Malmö?

That's Jovana's, I could go and talk to her.

Milan!

Drive Svend-Erik home. I'm expecting company.

When will you get the incident report from the prison?

- It should be on the way. - Make it happen, okay, Svend-Erik?

Nora Jepsen has gone underground,

so she must have been involved in some way.

Could you drive me to town? I need new clothes.

So, seen from that perspective, not even us Danes could

give reduced sentencing for murder in close relationships.

Yeah, I remember when that sentencing came.

It would've been interesting to hear the discussion.

I've got lots to say about that. Let's chat about it when we can.

Yes, let's do that.

Good to see it's worked out for you, Frank. Despite everything.

Thanks.

- What are you doing?! - Sorry! It was an accident.

It's all over my shirt. You need to be careful!

- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. - Where's the bathroom?

It's out here, come, I'll help you. It really wasn't on purpose.

NORA JEPSEN SAME PLACE?

-ROOM WITH JACUZZI, PLEASE 3 -HONEY, YOU'RE SO SPOILED.

- I'LL SPOIL YOU ;) - I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT... 11?

GOT A NEW NUMBER. TEXTING FROM IT NOW.

DELETE MESSAGE

DARLING, CAN WE MEET AT PARK BIO 3:30 PM?

Yeah, it's to be expected. Poor girl.

They can't help it, they're so young and empty headed.

Hey, um.

Oh, yeah. I should hang onto that.

You keep away.

Why don't we just kill him?

Because I've got use for him.

Use for him? It's his fault we're in this situation.

I've got use for him now,

you can do whatever the hell you want with him and his sister afterwards.

There. Good, huh?

Hi!

Hi! We're on our way! We're at the airport in... What's it called?

- Amsterdam. - In Amsterdam. We're on our way!

Now?

Well, I'm holding a class and I found out it it's in Sweden

and he missed you so much, I couldn't say no.

Aw, honey.

We tried calling you multiple times but got no answer.

No.

I'm really sorry, it was so sudden.

It's okay. When will you be here?

Two and a half hours.

Exciting, then I'll see you soon.

We will, we have to go now. Bye!

Okay, bye!

- Liam's coming. - Okay.

You're sure you shouldn't tell Said Markos Jez is at large?

I doubt he's still in the country.

If he wanted to get me he would have tried something by now, right?

Yes, you're probably right.

Where's Nora Jepsen, Frank?

- Who? - Come on.

I know she was in the prison when Therese died.

Where is she, Frank?

I don't know where she is.

What the fuck are you hiding from me, Frank?!

- For fuck's sake! - Okay, okay, okay!

Could we talk? Talk, for real, talk.

Sit down.

Nora Jepsen has a close relationship to multiple people

involved in the investigation into the murder of my parents. These...

people were also in close vicinity to Sixten Larsen in various ways.

The prosecutor who dropped the preliminary investigation

into Therese's death.

Your parents...

and Therese's death don't have shit to do with each other.

Who are these people you're talking about?

Your turn.

I need to know exactly what happened when you murdered my parents.

- Mum! - Darling!

- Hey! - Hi, Ebbe. Nice to meet you.

Thanks, you too. Said. Nice to see you.

Did you have a good flight?

- How are you? - I'm good.

I've been excited to meet you in real life, give me a hug.

Nice to meet you, Liam.

- My boyfriend. - I know who Ebbe is.

Come on, Mum.

- Should we go in? Are you hungry? - I want to see my room!

- Yes, I'd love to. - Of course we'll look at your room!

- It's on the second floor. - Thank you for having us,

- really kind of you. - You're running?

There was a cop there,

he came and told me Blanka had gotten

police protection against me.

And there was a case worker who'd put her in contact with her husband

who was a cop.

Your father had started

snooping around a little too much for police corruption.

That's why they wanted to get rid of him.

Thomas...

Was it a cop who ordered the murder of my parents?

I was completely furious back then, because...

I'd just found out Blanka had betrayed me so I...

Yeah, I got rid of your parents. That's that...

So what was his name?

Police helicopter! Fuck!

- Did you betray us, Frank? - No, no. No!

Fuck!

Come on, come on.

- Look! - No! No!

Yes!

Look!

No, Liam. I have to work now.

Not now! Please, not now, last time.

Okay, last time, but then I have to work.

Okay? You've already started?

Hey, um...

Liam is having nightmares.

I think it would do him some good to be with you for a while.

I was thinking, the class here, is what, ten days?

So maybe he could live here for that time?

For ten days?

Yeah, if it's not a problem.

No, of course not.

- Are you sure? - No, of course he should be here.

Good, I think it'll do him some good.

Go down and keep an eye on the road.

Hello? Why the hell aren't you picking up your phone?

Why the hell is there a helicopter hovering on top of us?

- Okay, go on, Frank. - Okay.

This cop, the one who told you Blanka had contacted my father.

Was his name Kristian Lange?

Yes, he was a henchman like me.

Who was above him? Who decided my parents would die?

A cop higher up in the system or a prosecutor.

What the hell does that have to do with Therese?

Nora Jepsen is Kristian Lange's stepdaughter.

Lange got you to kill my parents.

When Therese died, Nora was the sole guard in her block.

You've got a really sweet daughter. We talk a lot.

I can't take it!

- Of course you can, honey. - I can't... I can't take anymore.

- Honey. - I'm going to die in here.

I'll take care of this.

There's nothing you can do.

Listen, I have an old friend. A cop, he owes me a favour.

I've got so much dirt on him he'll have no choice but to help us.

But you have to hold on, just a little longer, okay?

Do you promise?

I promise you, 100 per cent.

Therese told Nora Jepsen...

who told her stepfather, Lange...

Lange took advantage of the situation

before I could threaten to expose him.

It's okay. They're looking for a missing child.

Kristian Lange, he used me to kill your father, Frank...

and then he killed my daughter.

Kristian Lange?

Lange had someone above him. Who?

Thomas, I think that person is responsible for Therese's death.

Yeah, I know Kristian Lange,

you could hang him by the nose and he wouldn't say a word.

So who knows who controlled Lange in the '90s?

Who controlled you?

That was Rex Bagger. He was the boss back then.

Rex Bagger? Good. So, would he know?

Rex? I haven't talked to Rex for eight years.

No, his wife got sick so he ran with his tail between his legs

and testified against a trafficking ring.

Swedish police gave him a protected identity and as far as I know,

he's hiding out in Sweden.

He knows, guaranteed.

Rex killed a cop in the '90s and was let go.

What cop?

Mogens Mikkelsen.

Rex would've never made a deal with an ordinary beat cop.

He'd have talked to the man behind the man.

Okay, so if.. If we find this Rex. Will he talk to you?

If I show up at Rex's home, I promise he'll talk.

Good. Because I think my sister could get the address.

They found the child.

I'll get those scumbags.

Hi, I need an address. A Rex Bagger, protected identity.

Hey, wait. Liam is home.

- What? - Yeah, Said showed up here,

he has some course he's attending.

Okay...

Sara, listen. Mum and Dad's murder was an ordered hit but the order...

The order came from the police.

So if we could get Waldman in a room with this Rex,

he could find out who gave the order.

Mum and Dad were an ordered hit? From the police?

But... Why?

I don't know. I don't know,

but this Rex, he murdered a cop. A Mogens Mikkelsen and he was let go.

- Why was he let go? - I don't know.

Sara, could you get the address?

Absolutely, I'll take care of it.

- Hi, are you Sara? - Yes.

It's here.

- There. - Thanks.

POLICE ARCHIVE MATERIAL M MIKKELSEN

POLICE DEAD - ROBBER AT LARGE

FAMILY WIFE: MAUD MIKKELSEN

CHILDREN: BEATE MIKKELSEN

MAUD MIKKELSEN

I'M OUTSIDE, ARE YOU ON YOUR WAY?

I'M RUNNING A LITTLE LATE, OF COURSE. I'LL BE THERE SOON

Hi, Nora.

Where the hell are you going?

I'm meeting with Klaus.

The hell you are.

Give me the phone.

No.

- Give me the phone, Nora. - No.

God damn it.

Are you insane?

It's dangerous, you can't step outside that door!

Yeah, yeah. I got it. Calm down.

I bought you pizza.

With pepperoni?

Frank Nordling.

It's Dahlerup, do you have a moment?

Yes, what's it about?

I've reopened the investigation of the death of Sixten Larsen.

Huh, has something new surfaced?

Yes, you called him the morning he died.

- Yes. - Why?

It was concerning a case.

What case?

Sorry, is this an interrogation?

No, it's an informal discussion between two colleagues.

We'd love to see that case solved, right?

Yes, of course.

But I can't talk about that conversation, it's classified.

Larsen dropped the investigation into Therese Waldman's death.

Was that why you contacted him?

I didn't know that.

No?

You visited Thomas Waldman in prison the day before he escaped. Why?

Thomas Waldman, I thought this was about Sixten Larsen.

Was the meeting about Therese?

That's none of your business.

Did Thomas Waldman order the murder of Sixten Larsen?

Do you know where Waldman is now?

No, cut the crap.

Okay, Frank. Thanks. That was all.

Hi.

I want the investigation into the death of Therese Waldman, please.

Thank you.

- Hey! - Hey, there!

Nice to see you! Tell me, how did you get here?

- I nagged Dad. - Good.

- Hey, Said! - Hi, Frank. How's things?

- Great. You? - Fine, thanks.

Where's my new baby cousin?

Your new baby cousin, she's with her mum.

How much did they feed you in the USA, huh?

You're getting almost as big as me.

- Nothing. - Nothing.

Hey, I need to speak to your mum for a minute.

Adult stuff, okay?

Come on, let's finish the puzzle.

Come, let's go outside.

I want us to take a time out.

We help locate Markos Jez and Thomas Waldman and get them arrested.

And we get a life again.

- Are you giving up now? - No, I'm not giving up.

We'll have to do it another way, my child is here.

I'm not giving up because we're this fucking close, Sara...

Well, you don't get it because you don't have a child!

Sorry, I didn't mean it like that, but she isn't here,

and even if I send Liam away, then...

Then what?

I was looking at the investigation regarding this cop, Mikkelsen.

Okay?

He also had a child. A daughter. That he just left behind.

Are Liam and Laura also going to live their lives wondering

who killed their parents? Huh?

I need two people in my life. Liam and you.

And Ebbe's in my life as well. I just want a normal life.

I get it.

And I get that it's really bad timing now Liam is here, but Sara, please.

If Waldman just gets to talk to Rex, just talk, he'll get the truth.

Then it will all be over, it will, it will all be over.

Are you sure?

- Can you make that promise? - I swear.

- Promise? - Yes.

Okay. I'll ask a colleague to look up his address.

Good.

- Have you got the papers? - Yeah.

And Bogdan? Thomas wants those papers, too.

What is it?

It's the incident report from the night Therese died.

The prison guard, Hamdan Mamo, was guarding another prisoner that night.

So?

Nora Jepsen was the only one in charge on the block.

Hi.

Oh god! Hi! Iben! God! How are you?

Hi. Yeah, I'm okay.

Are you sure? Are you getting by?

- Yes, yes, I am. What about you? - Yeah, it's good.

I just keep on working, Oskar has just learned to swim.

- Yeah. I'm so happy to see you! - This is Svend-Erik, my lawyer.

Hey!

- Hi, there. - Hello.

And Bogdan.

Hi.

With the situation being what it is, I'm forced to sell Mille's corner.

Yeah, I... You'll have to relinquish the bar to me.

What the hell, this is my place. I've been running it for over a year.

No, it's always been Thomas' business.

You've known all along it's just a front.

Consider it a job you were just relieved from.

No, what the hell is this about? Huh?

You need to sign.

I'm not going to sign.

Yeah, I'll do it for 200 thousand.

Jovana...

200 thousand is my price to sign that.

Don't be too rough.

I'm not signing your fucking paper.

I'm not signing your fucking paper! Stop!

Don't touch me, stop! Stop! Ow! What are you doing?

- Hey. - Hey.

Sara Kahlil, Malmö Police Department.

- Yes? - We're looking for Maud Mikkelsen.

Yes?

Mum had a stroke last year. I'm just here tidying up.

I'm sorry for your loss.

You claim to work with cold cases in Sweden

but my Dad's murder happened in Denmark.

We cooperate quite a lot across the border.

Tell us what happened.

I was four years old when Dad died. I barely remember him.

It's affected mine and my mother's entire life since it was never solved

and now Mum's gone as well.

Sorry, it's just...

the thought of being alone without any parents...

Have you found my father's killer?

We have a suspect. There are DNA tracks to match with the killer.

It has been submitted and we're waiting for results.

What did you send in?

- There was a balaclava and a weapon. - Yeah.

A DNA analysis could put Bagger at the scene.

What? No. We can't arrest him, Waldman needs to talk to him first.

Besides, what we need him to disclose we won't get out of him

- in a fucking police interrogation. - Hey, we can do both.

And Beate deserves closure just as much as you and I do.

And DNA analysis takes time. Waldman will get to talk to him.

Yeah, okay. Okay and what happens if your colleagues decide

to question before they get the results back?

- They won't. - Okay, yeah.

Here's the address.

Send it to me.

When will Waldman talk to him?

Well, I'll have to make sure he does it tonight, right?

Frank...

You were screaming, Mum. The man with the gun hurt you.

It was just a dream. I'm here now.

Could he come back?

No, he's locked up in prison.

- Are you sure? - Yes, I am.

Nothing bad will happen.

Sleep now, honey.

SARA

- Hey. - It's me.

Did Waldman get Rex Bagger's address?

Yes.

All right.

And they're on their way there now.

Can't you come over?

Did something happen?

No, Liam is worried but he's asleep now.

But I'd... I'd really appreciate some company.

Okay.

- Are you coming? - Yeah.

- Of course I'm coming. - Thanks.

I'll be there soon.

This is Sara Khalil from Cold Cases.

I've gotten a tip that Thomas Waldman and Markos Jez are currently

at the home of Waldman's former boss, Rex Bagger.

Very recent. Skogsborgs Street 85, Önnestad.

Get in Frank.

- Why? - We need you as collateral. Come.

Get in.

Okay, listen. I know he's a fucking traitor,

but I have to talk to him,

this is about Therese. So take it easy when we're there.

Go down and check it out.

Pop classics. In tonight's show, we're talking...

- Rex? - Yeah?

- Rex?! - Yeah, I have them, here!

Kasper, we're not animals.

Step outside. Hands above your heads.

You're surrounded.

God damn it!

Go away! This is...

Okay, if he's not back soon, we'll go. Okay?

Okay, let's get out of here! Go!

It was swarming with cops. They got Rex.

You fucking traitor!

Why would I tip them off? It was my idea that you spoke to Rex.

Obviously it wasn't you, but your sister knew we'd be there.

Fucking traitor.

Hi, where did you go?

Do you know what the hell you've done?

You tried to nail Markos, you tried to nail Waldman,

but they got away.

Sara, you've just signed your own death warrant.
