Original subtitles

-Does Frank know you asked to see me? -No.

He wouldn't have let you come.

As a devil's advocate, he wants to take care of meetings himself.

I was the one who warned them that you were on your way to Rex's.

If I had been able to talk to Rex,

I would have known who was behind Therese's murder.

Frank thinks it's the same person who ordered me to kill your parents.

Do you realise what you've done?

If you have to kill me, go ahead. But leave Liam alone.

I would never, ever harm a child, and neither would Markos.

You're a cop and you betrayed us. I'm not surprised.

But you owe me a favour.

What?

I'll have to think about it.

-You mustn't tell Frank about this. -I don't care about Frank.

And you have a debt to pay. Later.

THE LAWYER

Rex Bagger's trial begins today, after years of witness protection.

He stands accused of murdering detective Mogens Mikkelsen.

Also today, Justice Klaus Nygaard is being heard regarding suspicions

that the murder could be related to organised crime

rather than a burglary that went wrong.

-What do you want? -You already knew, right?

They wouldn't let me represent the plaintiff against Rex Bagger.

-Have you been an assessor before? -Yes, I have.

But now the court won't authorise me. Who's trying to stop me, Magdalena?

I don't know. It seems strange.

And it's not me, if that's what you think.

-Authorised or not, I'll be there. -Frank, wait.

I have no time. I represent the family and they expect me to...

I looked at the investigation into Therese Waldman's death.

It should never have been closed on those grounds.

What do you know about Sixten Larsen's death?

Nothing.

Whatever's going on, perhaps I can help you.

I'll make sure you get authorised, but I'll expect something in return.

It's insane that I agree to this.

If he won't name his instigator, I want no more conspiracy theories.

-Okay, but I think... -Everyone knows your background.

I won't be ridiculed for associating with conspiracy theorists.

Miranda. Frank Nordling, assistant attorney for the Mikkelsen family.

-Hello. -Hello.

-Miranda is Rex's lawyer. -Shall we go in?

You've been linked to the crime scene.

Your DNA was both on the balaclava and the weapon found nearby.

We're aware of this, hence the accusation against my client.

The defence believes that the DNA evidence should be dismissed.

The items may have been contaminated,

they've been in police possession for 20 years.

In 1997, it was concluded that the perpetrator fired a warning shot,

which ricocheted off a wall and accidentally hit Mikkelsen's head.

New forensic evidence suggests otherwise.

We received this yesterday.

The current, forensic analysis of the bullet found in Mikkelsen's body.

The bullet is intact. Had it ricocheted, there'd be visible marks.

So, Rex, we claim that you waited for him,

aimed your weapon at his head and pulled the trigger. An execution.

If you're convicted of murder, which is probable, due to this evidence,

I could ask for a life sentence. Or I could ask for a commuted sentence,

and you'll be out in six to eight years.

And under what circumstances could the latter be applicable?

You can be a crown witness.

Help us, and we'll help you by reducing your sentence.

The Western Network had an agreement with the Danish police, didn't they?

Someone fabricated the ricochet story and included it in the investigation.

We want to know if the shooting order came from someone within the police.

I don't know what you're talking about.

-What do you want? -Hi, it's Liam. Are you angry?

Hi, buddy. You're using Mum's phone?

Yes, she's playing football with Ebbe.

And Dad left for Boston yesterday. And next week I'll start school here.

-That's great. Can I talk to Mum? -I told you, she's playing football.

-Ebbe got his own bathroom drawer. -Give me the phone.

How did it go with Rex Bagger?

To make him talk, we need to get him convicted of murder. That's hard.

I'll see if I can find something that could put pressure on him.

Sara, how could you send Said back to Boston without bringing Liam?

You just blew Waldman's chances of getting Rex Bagger to talk.

Don't you understand that he'll make sure you pay for that?

Stay away from the investigation. Okay? Just stay away.

-Did you get lobster? -Yes.

-I love lobster. -Yes, I can tell.

You mustn't tell Kristian that you were here.

-I promise you I won't. -Good.

I'm sorry for not showing up at the cinema.

-The cinema? -Yes.

Kristian took my phone, so I couldn't call you. Sorry.

What cinema?

The one you texted me to meet you at last week.

I never texted you.

Yes, you did.

What...?

What have you gotten yourself into, Nora?

LOOK AT THIS

ANONYMOUS SENDER LOOK AT THIS

Klaus? It's Magdalena. Can we meet?

-Good evening. -Good evening. Nice to see you.

You too.

-I ordered the evening menu for us. -Delicious!

I hope so.

Oh, thanks.

-How nice. Great to see you. -You too.

I'd like to celebrate your award and also thank you.

-For what? -For being my mentor all these years.

-It means so much to me. -I'm very touched, Magdalena.

Thanks.

-I mean it. Thank you so much. -Thank you.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

And you have an ulterior motive.

Let's just discuss it at once, so that we can enjoy dinner afterwards.

I talked to Oliver Rosenberg, prosecutor in the Rex Bagger trial.

He believes in a connection between Bagger and what you told me recently

about police corruption in the nineties.

If you talked to Rosenberg, you'll know that I'm testifying against Rex.

Yes, as Mikkelsen's boss at the time,

you'll testify about the course of events on the day he was shot.

What do you want to know?

Thanks.

Thank you.

Shall I prepare the authorities for a scandal?

Was the murder planned by policemen together with the Western Network?

I'd just like to know what you thought then and what you think now.

Were there signs that Mikkelsen was trying to expose the corruption?

Had I suspected that, I would of course have reacted.

-But you did look into it? -Yes, but I found no proof.

But you still suspect there was corruption then?

-What are you accusing me of? -Nothing.

That I was aware of a wilful murder but neglected to investigate it?

Or something even worse?

-Klaus? -I have to say no to this dinner.

My god, Magdalena. After all these years.

Klaus, I'm sorry, can you...?

Thomas?

What are you doing?

You can't sit out here, Thomas.

Come on, let's go down again.

TÅRNBY VIDEO SHOP

Thomas?

We have visitors.

Thomas, they're outside.

Come on!

-Stop! Show us your hands! -What are you doing here?

Show us your hands!

You understand. Show us your hand or we'll shoot. Slowly...

I'm looking after my friend's house.

Get down on your knees. Hands on your head.

Are you alone? Is there someone else in the house?

Klaus Nygaard, please describe the course of events

on the day Mogens Mikkelsen was shot.

We received a call about a robbery. Mogens arrived first on the scene.

When the other units arrived soon after,

Mogens was found dead and the perpetrators had disappeared.

Thank you. No further questions.

-Very well. -Thank you.

I have a few questions, your honour.

Go ahead.

For how long did you act as Mogens Mikkelsen's boss?

We worked together for four years.

-Was he a good police officer? -Absolutely.

He was a great analytical talent and empathetic.

-Meticulous? -Very much so. He lived by the rules.

Then could you explain to me why he, on this particular day,

responded completely single-handedly to this robbery?

The 1997 preliminary report states it was an unfortunate coincidence.

"An unfortunate coincidence"? Could you explain that, please?

Mogens and his colleagues initially responded to

an emergency call that came from an address nearby.

-It turned out to be a false alarm? -Yes.

When they were leaving, his colleague received a message

that his mother, who was in a nursing home, was dying.

-So he left to visit his mother? -Yes, that's correct.

-How is it going? -Well, we'll continue after lunch.

But Nygaard is smart. I need to throw him off balance.

If we don't get Bagger convicted, we can't put pressure on him.

We'll never find out who was behind Mikkelsen's murder.

Listen, I found this photo from the crime scene.

When I saw this kid's bike, I checked the police interview protocols.

The shop owners opposite the crime scene had a daughter. It's her bike.

She was there, but was never questioned.

I haven't found here yet, but I will.

That's a hell of a long shot, Sara.

I know, but still.

Liam!

Well, thanks. Just stay out of Waldman's way.

That's good. I have to go back.

Talk to you later, okay?

So, Mogens Mikkelsen was now alone,

after his partner had left him to visit his dying mother.

Then came the robbery alert

and Mikkelsen walked straight into an execution.

Mogens was hit by a ricocheting projectile.

And I maintain that it wasn't an unfortunate coincidence,

but rather a series of planned events

aiming at putting Mikkelsen in a vulnerable position.

Planned events, leading to his death...

This is a witness hearing, not a prosecutor's procedure.

If the counsel has questions, he may ask them.

Sure.

Wasn't there a deal during the '90s between some Copenhagen police

and the criminal network that Bagger belonged to?

-I don't know what you mean. -Then I'll rephrase it:

Did Mikkelsen ask awkward questions about police turning a blind eye

to Bagger's gang, but who were extra tough on their competitors?

I don't want to answer absurd questions like that.

If I'd heard of any such thing, then acting as Chief Superintendent,

I would have started an investigation had there been justifiable suspicion.

But I never heard of any conspiracy or whatever the counsel is implying.

Really?

No.

-No further questions. -Thank you.

Well, it's late.

The cross-examination of Klaus Nygaard will be continued tomorrow.

The court is adjourned.

Do you realise what would happen if I vented any suspicions

against corrupt police in a 20 year old case?

Every single verdict from the 1990s would be questioned, maybe annulled.

Is it really worth it?

You witnessed under oath.

Milan, we can't stay here.

Get some new phones, a new car and find a safe place, okay?

Bogdan is still being questioned. Svend-Erik will get him out tomorrow.

-Does Svend-Erik know we're here? -No one does.

Certain people have been betraying us.

Are you in pain, Thomas? I'll find you a pain killer.

What the hell happened? Who the hell betrayed us, man?

Shut up and sit down. I get dizzy when you walk around like that.

Do you think it's Frank? Do you think it's him, Thomas?

I can't understand why you trust him. It doesn't make any sense.

There's nothing here. I'll buy some for you. I'll be right back.

Thomas, dammit. Open your eyes, you're fucking blind!

Shut up! Sit down, dammit.

Frank Nordling.

Hello.

-Your ID, please. -Sure.

-Has something happened? -No.

-It's alright, I know him. It's okay. -Give it back.

I got police protection thanks to Magdalena Dahlerup.

Would you like to come inside? - Thanks.

So it's your second appointment with the neurologist?

It's just a routine check-up.

We'll stay for another week and then go back. Mum and Dad are in Portugal.

Would you like to say hi to Laura?

-Wait. Don't wake her up. -That's alright.

Could you look after her tomorrow, while I'm at the hospital?

Yes, of course. Can I?

Of course you can.

Where the hell is she?

Thomas, we have to get out of here. We can't stay here.

-I need a pain killer. -Fuck that.

If Iben betrayed us before, we should go.

-You keep her out of this, got it? -Don't say it hasn't occurred to you.

I'm sorry. There was an unmarked police car outside my flat.

-Did they see you? -No, nobody followed me.

I had to make sure they wouldn't tail me.

I could only get non-prescription pills.

Thomas, dammit, we have to leave now. Don't trust her. I don't.

Hey, I don't trust you. What are you up to with Wisén?

Svend-Erik is making sure Thomas gets out of here alive.

So Therese means nothing to you now?

I loved Therese, but it's killing him. He's broken.

Shut up now, or I'll blow your heads off.

-Is that Ebbe? -No. Wait here.

The time for that favour has come. Bring your police badge with you.

-Aren't you in custody? -Does it look like it?

-Listen... -Yes?

-Help me with Liam for a few hours. -Sure. Why?

They need a driver with a police badge.

Wait, wait... What are you talking about?

I made a deal with Waldman. He'll leave us alone if I do him a favour.

You made a deal with Waldman? Are you totally insane?

-Listen... -You can't see him. You can't.

-I'm doing this for Liam. -Can't you see how totally...?

It's safest to go to different locations.

-Sure. -Magnus Sjöblom.

-Magnus Sjöblom? Who's that? -Dennis' friend.

He lives in Rosengård. Maybe Markos can hide out at his place.

-Can you vouch for him? -Of course.

Okay.

-It's Svend-Erik. -Is Waldman with you now?

It's Frank.

-Yes, counsel? -I don't...

I don't want Sara anywhere near you. Got it?

Listen, Frank. Is it me you don't trust or is it her?

Your sister is an old junkie with no self-control.

She's dangerous both for you and for herself.

So are you sure I can't help you?

When you reach the other side of the bridge, someone will be waiting.

And if you try to do something stupid again, remember your brother and son.

See you on the other side.

-Here's the address and door code. -Perfect.

Drive him to Amiralsgatan and he can walk the rest of the way.

-Isn't it better if you drive? -No, thanks.

-But only because I... -Shut up and get going.

Just be quiet and I'll handle this.

Good evening. Your license and ID, please.

I'm travelling on the job.

-Good luck then. Have a nice evening. -Thanks. You too.

Emergency. Which service?

Markos Jez. He has escaped from prison and is wanted by the police.

He's on his way to Magnus Sjöblom in Rosengård, outside Malmö.

Could I get your name?

Are we even now?

Drop the weapon! Get down on the ground!

Get down, I said!

Hold out your hands! Get down on your stomach. Get down!

Get down. Do it now.

Get down on your stomach.

I got hold of the doctor.

-Here you go. -Well done, Milan.

-Markos was caught in Rosengård. -What?

How the hell did they know he was there?

Everyone in here knew.

And everyone in here knew about the mansion.

-And everyone knows we're here now. -Easy now, Thomas.

Someone keeps betraying us, right? I'm not even safe here anymore.

-But no one in here has betrayed you. -Are you sure?

Get that fucking rat out of here!

Good morning, Klaus.

Are you alone? Eh?

Sit down. Go on, have a seat.

I just want to talk with you.

I heard it went well in court yesterday.

-What did you know about it? -About Mogens Mikkelsen's death?

Yes, and about the murder of Martin and Eva Anker.

Their son was really putting the squeeze on me.

You're not feeling very well, are you, Klaus?

What were you doing in the '90s? Did you get police officers killed?

-Was that how you built your career? -And yours?

We created a safer society.

We stopped gang wars and street shootings. We only did our job.

I'm making sure you're aware of the consequences if you talk to Nordling.

-Yes, I'm aware of the consequences. -Good.

I didn't have a clue.

Just keep telling yourself that. You know deep inside it isn't true.

And there's no one who would believe it.

Take care of yourself, Klaus.
