Please, have a seat.

Today the defence was supposed to cross examine prosecutor's witness,

Klaus Nygaard.

But unfortunately we've received the tragic news that...

Klaus Nygaard has passed away in an accident.

Klaus Nygaard is dead? What the hell is going on, Magdalena?

He's taken his own life.

How?

I don't know. Yesterday. I don't understand, I'm...

I'm trying to find someone who knows something.

Frank, listen. I found Janca Bodic, the owner of the bike.

If she saw anything when Mikkelsen was murdered, we've got Bagger.

Sara... Klaus Nygaard is dead.

What? What happened?

I don't know, apparently he took his own life but...

So what happens now?

I was supposed to question him again but now I have nothing.

I'll get this Janca to testify, I'll sort this out.

- No, Sara, it's too late. - No, tell them you have a witness

and her name is Janca Bodic, okay?

Damn, Sara, if you're wrong about this...

Okay, Janca Bodic.

THE LAWYER

Despite the tragic news regarding Klaus Nygaard,

we have to continue the trial.

All hearings are completed,

the questions is are we ready to proceed today?

- Are both parties ready? - The prosecution is ready.

And?

- The defence is also ready. - Good.

Then I suggest a 15 minute break so you can prepare yourselves.

Your Honour. I'd like to call a new witness.

Who would that be?

Janca Bodic, she was just a few metres

from the scene of the crime at the time in question.

Yes, but the defence hasn't heard a word about this.

No, it's a bit late. You can call the witness at a potential appeal.

No, the witness saw the shooting and she's the only witness to the crime.

Her information is crucial.

It's a surprise tactic to call a witness this late.

Your Honour,

we had no knowledge about this witness before yesterday,

since she wasn't part of the preliminary investigation.

Okay.

Fine.

We'll reconvene tomorrow at 9, in order for the defence

hear the information. Court is adjourned.

- Hi. - Hi.

Sara Khalil, Malmö police, Cold Cases. I'm looking for Janca Bodic.

Yes, that's me.

We have opened up a case from '97 where a policeman was shot

in connection with a robbery outside your family's shop.

I understand this is your bike?

In the old preliminary investigation, it says

you were playing at the warehouse

but... you saw something.

You saw the shooting.

The whole thing was very surreal.

It is as if the pictures has been etched into my mind.

I just saw the surprised face of the officer before...

right before he was shot...

and I screamed, I think, as loud as I could, but...

no one heard it.

Like the scream was in my own head.

JANCA WILL TESTIFY, SHE SAW A FUCKING EXECUTION

Klaus Nygaard is dead?

Yes. The investigation points to suicide.

Perhaps he felt pressured or had a bad conscience about what he did.

He was involved, Lange and her guard...

They killed my daughter.

Exactly, and Frank and I, we want to get to the bottom of this

so they can go to trial.

And you can safely leave the country now. There's nothing you can do.

Do I still have use for you, Frank? Huh?

Yes. Because, Thomas,

tomorrow, I'll get the whole picture, the trial continues,

I have a new witness and now,

with the threat of lifetime, Rex will talk.

Plus, Thomas, you're just guessing.

We have no idea what role Nygaard played in all this,

no one knows who was around him, Thomas.

We don't know who's behind all this.

Thomas...

Shut up. I can't wait anymore. Get rid of them.

Go on, Janca, tell us. What happened next?

Then I saw a man with robber mask on who came out of the kiosk...

The strange thing was that he didn't really hurry.

He was just hiding in the corridor, next to...

like he was waiting for something.

And then another man came running.

And this man was later identified as Officer Mikkelsen.

Yes, that's right.

The robber then came forward and pointed a gun at the officer's head

and shot him in the face... and then the robber ran away.

Yes. Thank you, Janca.

Any questions from the defence?

Janca this must've been a traumatising experience for you,

about 23 years ago.

Yes, very.

So can you explain why you didn't say anything earlier?

Why didn't you testify when it happened?

Well, the police weren't interested.

My dad had told the police I'd seen the officer get shot

and we kept waiting for me to be called to be questioned...

Thank you.

You were 12 years old? Just a child?

- Yes. - That's a really long time ago.

I think it's amazing you're able to remember so much.

Can you recall if the adults were talking about what had happened?

Yes, everyone was talking about it.

Could it be that what you're telling us is fabrications

of what you heard the adults talk about when it happened?

No...

It could perhaps be a nightmare you had?

Yes, I've had plenty of nightmares, but they came after.

I have plenty of drawings, if...

How do we know this isn't something you've drawn after the fact?

Well, I retrieved these drawings from my psychologist's archive yesterday

and there are plenty more.

Perhaps the defence would like to call Janca's psychologist to testify?

Any further questions?

No, thank you, I have no further questions.

Your Honour, I request an additional hearing of the accused, Rex Bagger.

THE LAWYER HAS REQUESTED A NEW HEARING OF BAGGER. WHAT DO WE DO?

STAY CLOSE IN CASE IT'S NECESSARY

Rex Bagger.

You're familiar with the Danish rules regarding crown witnesses, right?

Yes, I am.

Then I'd like to remind you that, as a crown witness,

you can get reduced sentencing if you cooperate.

Okay.

Good.

Mikkelsen was investigating his police colleagues for malpractice,

malpractice that benefited your criminal activity.

This robbery... It was a ruse. To lure Mikkelsen into a trap

where he could be killed in the service. So... who planned it?

Your Honour, this is pure speculation on the prosecution's behalf.

I have to ask the prosecution to keep to...

The technical evidence and testimony we just heard

will give you life for murder.

You were just a means to an end, you have to realise that.

- Attorney Nordling. - Who was behind Mikkelsen's death?

I must remind you it is the job of the police to investigate

a possible instigator.

This is not something we should highlight here in court.

Pardon, could we request a 10 minute break?

Let's go to lunch.

We'll reconvene in an hour. Thank you.

We'll get the whole truth now.

Bagger isn't saying anything.

Have you gotten any indication he'll accept the deal?

Svend-Erik, he'll sing like a bird. Trust me.

It's Thomas. What the hell does he want now? I have to answer.

Yes, it's Svend-Erik.

Thanks.

What the hell are you doing here?

This is for you.

Yeah?

I wasn't sure I'd hear from you.

How do you think it went yesterday?

That fucking lawyer dug up a witness. It seems she saw it all.

You were offered reduced sentencing in exchange for information, right?

- That's right. - Hold on just a moment.

Just go inside, I'll be right with you.

I might have a better offer for you.

So... If you can tell us, in your own words, how it went down

when you shot officer Mogens Mikkelsen.

Yes... After the robbery, I waited for him and shot him.

In the head.

Liquidated as you put it.

And... why did you do that?

He was in my way.

In your way? In your way? What do you mean?

He got in my way, so I was forced to shoot him.

You were tasked to shoot him.

I don't know what you mean.

Wait, you know exactly what I mean.

You were ordered to kill Mogens Mikkelsen.

No.

You're lying. How did you even know that Mogens was alone?

Who needed him gone? Why?

This is completely unacceptable.

But he's lying in court!

- This is completely unacceptable! - Silence in the court!

- Yes. - Thank you.

We'll have a recess,

then we'll do the procedures and settle this trial once and for all.

- Is that understood? - Yes.

Yes.

Rex was convicted of murder.

Thank you.

Yes, I also thought you'd like a printout of the verdict.

He didn't get life, but what is strange is that...

he didn't really reveal anything about who was behind

the murder of your father. And yet he only got eight years.

So we think... Someone manipulated the verdict.

Okay.

But it at least gives me closure that the murderer was convicted.

Thanks for fighting so hard.

You wouldn't happen to have any papers left from your father?

- From his work? - No, as far as I can recall,

- Mum got rid of it all. - Anything... A photo album?

We could look in the attic.

Yeah.

I haven't looked through all of this yet.

- What was your father's name? - Martin Anker.

Here's his folder. Look.

With my father's handwriting.

ANKER'S CORRUPTION INVESTIGATION

Her. I recognise her, she was in a photo from the funeral.

She was at my father's funeral too.

I've read about her.

The head prosecutor who put a stop to the gang wars in the end of the '90s.

Here she is with Rex Bagger.

BASHIR BRYGGERIVEJ 5 NIELSEN ON THE DOOR!

Yes?

Hey, it's me. Are you sitting down?

Why?

Nora Jepsen, I know where she is.

- I'm on my way. What's the address? - No. Thomas, I'll be with you in 10...

What's the address? Bodgan!

Bryggerivej 5, Nielsen.

Who killed my daughter?

I... I haven't touched your daughter, okay?

Who killed Therese?

I don't fucking know!

I asked, who killed her?

I told you, I don't know!

Afterwards, I only helped afterwards!

Listen up, this is the last time I'll ask. Who killed her?

Who killed her?

It was her lawyer, Frank Nordling. He forced me to make it look like

like a suicide afterwards, but he hung her up himself.

He was the one who killed her.

Therese was dead when I came back to the cell.

I think he must've strangled her.

Frank Nordling, I mean.

Her lawyer.

And he said he'd kill me if I...

If I didn't help him.

You can look in the visitors' book if you don't believe me.

I've had a really...

I've had a really rough time since it happened.

I just can't do this anymore.

What the hell happened? Where's Nora?

Thomas Waldman found her.

Is she okay?

Yes, she's fine. I've already spoken to her.

I've asked Nora to testify against Nordling,

that he killed Therese Waldman

and forced her to clean up afterwards.

- Is she incarcerated? - Nora is a smart girl.

Besides, there's good money in it for her.

Now all you have to do is arrest Nordling.

No. Not before you've released Nora.

If you don't cooperate, it might turn out she did it voluntarily.

You fucking devil.

Excuse me, what did you say?

- I'll do it. - Yeah?

Yeah.

Bodgan?

Thomas, god damn it.

My pills, come on.

It was Frank who did it.

- Hello? - Hi, aren't you at work?

Yes, but just listen. Frank is a suspect in Therese's murder.

What? What are you saying?

Yes, she's the guard from the jail who testified against him.

I only heard by chance, but it's really weird.

Frank's been arrested in his absence. So he's wanted now.

- I'll call him. - Sara? Sara, wait...

I love you.

- Yep? - Nora testified against you.

That you killed Therese.

- Where did you hear that? - Ebbe just called.

Huh, well, that's ridiculous.

Frank, you're wanted. You have to stay away.

Listen, worst case... I'll be locked up for a day, maybe two.

Yeah and they'll hang you in your cell just like they did with Therese.

We have to meet up. Bring Dad's folder in case they raid your place.

Okay, damn.

- Could I borrow your car? - Of course.

But you can't come here in case the cops show up.

Let's meet halfway then.

I've got Liam here.

But, hey, I'll take care of it. Let's meet in the park at your place.

Okay, good. I'm on my way.

Honey, honey.

Hey, I have to go and get some papers from work.

- Come, come with me. - No.

- Yes, come. - No.

Okay, I'll put your phone here so you can call me if there is anything.

Mm, okay.

I'll be really quick.

Here.

Grönvold is on every paper, it's decisions about wire-tapping,

house-warrants and arrests but nothing on the Western Network.

An entire criminal organisation has been walking free from everything

when Boel Grönvold has been involved.

Mum!

Mum!

Mum!

Dropped preliminary investigations, dropped charges,

denied wire-tapping requests, house-warrants... stake-outs...

- Sara, hello! You listening to me? - Of course, I understand.

Hey... Rex Bagger's grandson has been released.

Probably as payment for Rex' silence.

For sure. That's what it was.

Mum!

Mum!

Here, I'll grab a taxi.

- Good. - Where are you going?

I need to get hold of Dahlerup.

Be careful.

You too.

Mum!

Mum!

Mum!

It's the police.

Frank Nordling?

Is anyone home?

How is he doing?

It's my fault.

Sara.

- They said he'll be fine. - Of course.

Of course.

He has a concussion and... internal bleeding.

- Hi. - Hi.

You can go in.

- Thank you for coming. - It's completely insane,

the warrant for your arrest.

I don't know if... I should turn myself in.

I'm innocent.

Here.

Boel Grönvold.

Both my father's and Mikkelsen's investigation points to her.

She was head prosecutor back then.

What?

What?

Boel Grönbold dropped the preliminary investigation

into Therese Waldman's death.

So, what do we do? Who should we talk to...

Wait.

This goes all the way to the top.

Boel Grönvold is head of the Department of Justice.

I don't know who we can trust, anymore.

Hi. Kristian Lange, I'm from the Copenhagen police.

I need to ask you some questions. May I come in?

Yeah, absolutely. Mm.

How is it going with Thomas Waldman? Have you gotten him yet?

We're pretty sure he's in Denmark. We'll get him.

Mm. We can sit here.

Thanks.

What have you got there?

- Mm, it's my assault alarm. - May I have a look?

Is there... Is there something wrong?

No, I'll just have a look.

Yeah, listen. I need to get hold of Frank Nordling at once.

- Wait, give me the alarm. Give me... - Don't.

Nothing will happen to you or the child if you get Frank here.

Why do you want him?

Is that your phone?

I said is that you're phone?

Mm.

The code?

Enter the code.

He won't pick up. He's turned it off, but...

PATRICIA

Hi!

Hi Frank. It's Kristian Lange here.

There's no need to introduce myself, you know who I am.

Where are you now? Are you in Malmö?

What have you done?

You need to come over here now. Do you understand what I'm saying?

- Now! - Wait, wait, wait.

Could I just talk to Patricia? Okay...

Listen, this is what's going to happen...

It's the protection detail.

Go to the door, and make them go back to the car.

-No, but... -They're going back to the car.

Make sure of it.

I can't. They have to do a round in the house before they change shifts.

Put the baby down, let them do their round and shut up. Understood?

- Come on. Come on. - Yeah... There, there, there...

And don't try anything now.

- Hi. - Hi.

I'll go and put her down.

Okay, do that.

If you remain calm, everything will be okay.

- What the hell? - It's the respiratory alarm.

- We've got a situation here. - Oh my god, she's not breathing.

Call an ambulance. She's not breathing!

Give me your phone. He threatened me,

Kristian Lange threatened me. You have to arrest him.

There, there, there...

Hello, hello, don't hurt him, okay, I'm on my way.

Don't come here, uh, me and Laura are okay, we ran out but don't come here.

Okay, listen. I have to get rid of this phone.

Okay, so you can't reach me here anymore.

Okay, I understand. Be careful, promise me.

Okay, goodbye.

- Have you found Frank? - No, he's not picking up.

Tell me, what the hell is happening? Huh?

He hasn't been arrested by police.

Svend-Erik, you have to help me sort this out.

Frank is in the visitors log that night in jail when Therese died.

I've seen it myself.

Why the hell would he investigating a murder he committed?

Right.

On the other hand, who knows?

Frank is the most talented con-artist I've ever met.

He played us like hell the last time.

Frank, what the hell are you doing here?

You...

Have to...

You have to help me.

You're the only one I can trust.
