I know you did it. So do you.

- So why not get it over with? - It wasn't her.

- You left this down there. - I was mad with her.

At 9.30 she gave me her hat, said goodbye and left.

Analysis shows that he was toying with her.

He let her run to catch her again.

But more importantly, she had a secret date.

Are you saying it's a teacher?

It's Morten.

If he's sold us out he must be cut loose.

I know what you're up to. Morten has left.

If I really wanted to crush you I'd have done it by now.

You didn't mention a teacher. You've made me look stupid.

- Do you realise what you're starting? - I haven't had time to consider it.

What are the police saying?

- They'll let us know. - You're in contact?

- We don't interfere. - Why not?

Mum! We won't interfere.

I can't decide.

- You said Jannik heard something? - The police are still at the school.

- I could... - Yes.

Do it, Vagn.

Have I brought you up to be such a mother?

You hardly talk to Mark.

He's got a girlfriend.

Mark!

- I'm interested in your life. - You are not.

You're only interested in dead people.

I remember that a few months ago

Nanna wrote an essay.

It was about a secret love affair

between a married man and a young girl.

Watch the civil servants. I saw a light on in their office.

Someone was there.

It's a model high school.

- Nothing that stands out? - Not that I can see.

- But you had the essay? - It seems to be lost.

Do you know how you'd be received in prison?

- I wasn't accused. - We can change that.

- Accused? - The girl withdrew the complaint.

- He was exonerated. - Who?

Rama.

- Hello and welcome. - Thanks. Nice meeting you at last.

- Ready? - Yes.

THE KILLING

She walks down the hotel hallway to the room.

She's about to knock,

wonders if it is wrong.

Maybe she should not have come.

Being with him is so different.

Different to anything at home.

The garage where she used to play,

the smell of petrol,

her room with far too many things,

because she never throws anything out.

The kitchen where she sat with her mum and dad

and two little brothers,

celebrating birthdays, Christmas and Easter.

At home she'll always be a little girl.

Now, right now,

here at the hotel, she's a grown-up.

She knocks and he opens the door.

Thank you. Bye.

We've got no name and no description, only...

a secret man who she meets in hotels.

All we've got is a pair of boots, an essay and some gossip.

It's not all gossip.

I talked to the principal. Rama...

Let me see... Rama...

Or Rahman Al Kemal was involved in an incident some years back.

A student told her rector that Rama had groped her.

- What happened? - Nothing. She withdrew the accusation.

The rector thought the girl was unhappy and dreamt it up.

Why would he tell us if the essay is about him?

To avert suspicion.

At some point... we'd have found the essay anyway.

Let's go and see him. He's with his pregnant wife.

- Let's check him out. - Why didn't we know about this?

That incident should be on his file.

I'm sure it is.

We didn't get his file.

Hartmann sent us the files for all the teachers

except Kemal.

You did ask for all of them?

Of course I did.

- Come straight home, then. - It's number four.

Because we're leaving tomorrow. I'll be home soon, Mark.

Mark?

How old is junior now?

- Want some advice? - No, thanks.

You ought to listen to him.

After all, you're his mother.

He's got problems with girls and...

his brain is being reconstructed.

Listen to him. It'll be all right.

He says I'm only interested in dead people.

Okay...

Was it number four?

I'm sorry, he's at the youth club. Can I help?

- You teach at the same school? - Yes.

- Did you know Nanna Birk Larsen? - Not well. I didn't teach her.

- Were you at the party on Friday? - No. I get tired quickly at the moment.

So only your husband was there?

Yes. Or rather, I wasn't at home.

Not at home?

We were at the allotment garden Friday and all weekend.

- Our floors were being sanded. - I see.

So you were both there?

He picked me up around 8.30 and we drove out there.

So what you're saying is that

both of you were there for the rest of the weekend?

Why?

No reason.

You might have known something about the party.

No, I'm sorry.

We only know what Rama's already told you.

Well, I don't think there's anything else.

You don't want to wait?

No, since you don't know when he'll be here.

But thanks anyway.

- Shall I see you out? - May I use your toilet?

- I'll show you. - I'll find it.

- It's a bit of a mess. - Is it your first?

Yes.

- It's a girl. - Really?

It's exciting.

It's none of my business but I could give you some tips.

The toilet's out there.

Thanks.

Deadline will broadcast the debate live tomorrow evening.

It's the normal set-up with a moderator in the middle.

- My topic is integration. - And more.

- Integration and role models. - Fundamentalism and crime.

Affirmative discrimination.

- And ghettos. - What ghettos?

And who opens the debate?

- Let the young man do it. - You won't forget your lines?

- Rock, scissors, paper? - Let's.

Now?

One, two, three, now.

- Do you want another chance? - Yes.

One, two, three, now.

Fine.

The school principal is outside.

- Here? - Yes.

She only wants to talk to you.

- Are we continuing? - I'll start. That's okay with me.

Fine.

- Thanks for today. - See you tomorrow.

- Please use the back door. - All right.

You should get used to it.

The police rang.

- You recall one of our students... - Yes, what happened?

I'm afraid that they suspect one of our teachers.

I need to know if I have to suspend him or what.

The police will divulge any hard evidence.

They haven't, so it's just routine.

This sounds specific. They're asking about one teacher.

They're also investigating an old case.

- Which old case? - It was nothing. He was innocent.

But he happens to be Nanna's support teacher.

- That may be all they're interested in. - What if it isn't?

I've just explained myself

so you're responsible if the police or the press...

Okay.

Give me the person's name and I'll contact the police.

He's called Rama, but his name's Rahman AI Kemal.

R-a-h-m-a-n AI Kemal.

This man is a teacher employed at your school?

Yes.

- He's being investigated? - That's why I'm here.

Is something wrong?

No. I just wanted to make sure that...

Step into my office, please.

Help yourself to some coffee.

I shook hands with a role model of the same name.

It can't be. I checked them all.

- You must have missed one. - I didn't. I checked all the files.

- You've got nothing on him? - No. I'd have told you.

Who gave you the files?

A civil servant from the administration.

I should have trusted Morten.

Yes.

We need to check his past. He wasn't always a teacher.

Send someone to the allotment.

Check his alibi and send this to forensics.

- Anything else? - A bottle of ether...

I took note of the brand. See if it matches the girl's.

With all that evidence why didn't we wait for him?

Now he can get rid of everything.

Talk to Hartmann. He'll be up in arms.

When's your flight?

Snip, snap, snory, that's the end of the story.

Is Nanna in the coffin?

Will she be an angel?

Yes, she will.

We're saying goodbye tomorrow.

At my school they're saying that she was killed

and that a man did something to her.

- Who says that? - The kids in my class.

The boys wanted to say good night.

The real estate woman called

to talk to me about the house.

Asmus heard something at school.

He knows what happened.

I said it was the bogeyman.

It may not be a good idea for them to come to the funeral.

I know...

they have to say goodbye but there will be people who...

I don't know how you and I will...

Please stop doing that!

- Theis here. - It's Vagn.

I can't find out until tomorrow.

His wife doesn't know anything definite yet.

- Okay. - So do you want some help?

No. See you tomorrow.

If we're not leaving can I go to the ice hockey?

We are leaving. We're having a housewarming with Bengt.

- But if... - There is no if.

See you tomorrow. I'll remember the tablecloth.

Have you packed?

Hi, darling. Everything's going well.

It's all under control.

I'm packing the last lot now.

No, I've got lots of time to talk.

I'm Vibeke, Sarah's mother.

Could you help me with this long tablecloth?

Hold this end for me.

Just hold on.

- Are you a TV reporter? - No, I'm not.

Hold it properly and tighten it. Otherwise it will wrinkle.

Bengt, I've got to go.

- Are you a medical examiner? - No, that's not me.

Hartmann hasn't got time for that.

Hartmann?

You said you'd tell me if you found something.

- You also break promises. - No, I've co-operated.

I've been honest but I had to hear this from others.

Why did you tell your administration to withhold Kemal's file?

We should have all the files. Why didn't we get his?

This is the first I've heard of it.

But how did it happen?

I don't know.

It doesn't look good.

I don't know why neither of us got it.

You'll get it now. I'm sure there's a back-up file.

Why is he so important?

He's one of our role models.

He helps migrants who get in trouble.

So if he did it it would look bad for you.

And your campaign.

You think the worst of me, don't you?

If he's the one, so be it.

But I'd like to know.

I don't know if it's him. But he's the one we're looking at.

Fine. I'll have him suspended.

Don't do that. It's unofficial. It's too early to suspend him.

I know you'd like a yes or a no, but I can't give you that.

Fine. We'll wait for you.

A colleague is taking over tomorrow.

One I can trust? Unlike you?

It's Troels.

It's bad. I couldn't get anything definite.

They think it's him.

We can't stop the basketball photos but he's not a known suspect.

We'll scrap the term "role model",

cancel the ads and focus on other things.

Cancel the debate tomorrow.

I'll start the ball rolling.

No, we keep going.

- What? - He's a suspect.

He's not guilty and even if he was

a lot of role models have done well.

- Don't give me that. - That's what I believe.

If I don't stick with this, who am I? I owe them.

They work in youth and sports clubs. We owe them.

We know it works. We've got statistics to prove it.

We can't cancel because of bad press.

They'll crucify us if he did it.

Troels, this is simply too ridiculous.

Hey?

Come back to my place and talk about it.

Right?

There's no discussion. We continue as planned.

I know you want the best for me.

It'll be okay.

It'll be all right.

Find room in my schedule for that civil servant tomorrow?

He was born in Damascus, Syria. The family escaped in '82.

He came to Denmark when he was 12.

His father is an imam in a mosque in the western suburbs.

Apparently, Kemal cut all ties to the family.

After graduating from high school he served in the army.

He completed his education and got his Masters in 2002.

In 2005, he married a colleague.

All teachers and staff at the school

say he's very respected.

- He was accused of assault. - No one thinks it was true.

- What does the girl say? - She's abroad.

We also examined the plastic tie that Lund found.

It's the same type that was used on the girl.

Your report of seeing the ether is inadmissible.

We know. We're investigating his alibi.

Send photos of Nanna to all hotels in Copenhagen.

Put a man on Kemal to see what he's up to.

But not too close at the funeral.

Don't disturb the family if he's there.

- Yes? - The allotment guy...

- Okay. - Have a good day.

I'm the darky's neighbour.

- Kemal. - Yes.

I live in number 12. They live in number 1 4.

In a year...

a bit more than a year...

I'll be allowed to live there all year round.

You had something to tell us.

Did you see Mr and Mrs Kemal arrive at the allotment?

Yes, I did.

When?

- Last Friday. - Okay.

Can you remember what time?

It was around... 8 or 9, I think.

But later that evening I saw something.

- You did? - Yes.

Could you tell us what it was?

I smoke these cigarillos.

- I don't know, may I... - Hell, no. You can wait.

Of course you can.

- Here. - Thanks.

As I said, I smoke these.

The little woman won't let me smoke inside.

I'm out on the patio even if it's cold.

What happened then?

I saw him come out of the house.

- And he drove off. - He drove?

Yes.

What time was that?

I watched the weather report later, so...

it must have been around 9.30.

- Did you see the car return? - No, I didn't.

It was there the next morning.

- Thank you very much. - You're welcome.

- Coffee perhaps? - Take it with the little woman.

I'm in a hurry so see yourself out.

Thanks for today.

Why would Kemal's wife lie about his whereabouts?

- Let's talk to him. - The funeral's on.

- We'll wait till later. - Why?

We could call Hartmann and get his permission.

Lund!

No.

I know what you want. And, no.

I can help you from Sweden by e-mail or phone or whatever.

And I can come back occasionally.

That's not what I want.

- Have you checked the father? - Of course I have.

What did you find?

Nothing interesting. He's been a bad boy.

He was inside a few times for receiving stolen goods,

car theft and pub fights, 20 years ago.

Why?

A retired DCI called us.

He spends all day reading the papers.

He said Theis was a dangerous man then.

We checked him out. He has an alibi. It can't be him.

That's what I want to be sure of.

We're leaving!

Give it to me.

Theis here. We're on our way.

Just bring some flasks, please.

- Give it to me. - Right?

- Go and wait in the garage. - Dad...

Go and wait in the garage. And put your coats on.

Nanna Birk Larsen's funeral takes place this afternoon.

People are at the church to pay their respects.

Darling!

Are you coming?

I don't know what to wear.

I know it doesn't matter one bit.

I can't, Theis.

Maybe Charlotte can help you?

Yes?

We must remember the flowers.

We'll get through this in time. Okay?

It was a stupid little vase. It means nothing.

Anton...

I smashed a bottle once.

- Get in the car. We're leaving. - What about Pernille?

Her sister will pick her up.

Isn't Mum coming?

Theis, I thought...

- Where's the map? - What map?

- The city map. - Theis...

Maybe I shouldn't talk to the woman at the school.

You've got a lot on and she may not know anything.

- You said she knew. - Yes, but...

Then, I'd like to know.

GOOD ROLE MODELS

- Thanks for coming by, Olav. - What else are Saturdays for?

Sorry for being late.

We were at a nursing home and the oldies love to talk.

Have a seat.

We have a problem.

Those personnel files that you...

copied to the police and gave to us...

One's missing.

Missing?

It's not important, but it's a bit of a mess.

It doesn't sound good, it's...

It may have vanished when we moved the archives... to the new section.

I thought it might be something like that.

But aren't the files locked in cabinets?

- Oh, yes. They are. - And no cabinets were missing.

I called the chief. He didn't remember any.

No. But...

Someone may have messed up the catalogue.

We've had some trainees.

I'll just have to find out and get back to you.

No, don't worry about it.

We'll start an inquiry and solve it from here.

An inquiry?

So no one feels like a suspect.

Unless you think that... the file might suddenly reappear.

No. I don't know anything about it.

That's it. Thanks for coming in on a Saturday.

- My pleasure. - Have a good weekend.

- What's left of it. - Yes, have a good weekend.

I rejected him as chief of administration four years ago.

Did Bremer make him a good offer?

It doesn't matter now.

I want Morten back as soon as possible.

Hold on, Dad.

I want to discuss the TV debate with you.

- Did the posters go to the printer? - Yes, but I don't agree...

Let's make the best of it and move on.

Hi, Dad.

Hi, it's me. I want that file back. Right now.

I helped you. They...

Today we say goodbye to a young woman

who was taken from us far too early.

It's unreasonable and incomprehensible

and we ask ourselves, what is the meaning of this?

We question our faith

and our faith in each other.

And we ask how will we be able to go on from here?

Christianity seeks peace,

reconciliation and forgiveness.

But forgiveness is not easy.

How can those who have suffered most

also be the most generous?

Hate drains our energy.

When we forgive, the past no longer controls us.

We can live in freedom.

I've got something to ask you about.

If it's the same old story, I've got nothing new.

- No, but I have a question. - What?

We told you everything. What's it about?

Why don't we go inside?

That really hurts.

Breathe. Just breathe.

Breathe all the way down to your stomach.

Hold on to me.

Let's lie you down. That's it.

Take it easy and breathe. Just breathe.

We talked to someone at the allotment.

He said he saw your husband leave at 9.30 on Friday night.

The neighbour?

He's never liked Rama but he likes our hedge trimmer.

- Did he leave at 9.30? - Yes, he went to get petrol.

When did he get back?

It took 15 minutes. I don't know. I went to bed while we was gone.

So he went to get petrol and you went to bed.

When did you see him again?

I woke around 3 a.m. and he was next to me.

You didn't see him between 9.30 p.m. and 3 a.m.?

No, but I'm sure he was there.

He always reads or watches TV before bed.

You were both at the allotment for the rest of the weekend?

Yes.

Rama had problems with the workmen so he returned to the flat.

And?

They didn't turn up so he had to sand the floor himself.

It took him all Sunday to tile the bathroom too.

Workmen always cause trouble.

- Which firm did you use? - I don't know.

Precisely when was he there?

Was he away all Saturday and Sunday?

From the morning or what?

- You'd better leave now. - From 6 in the morning?

You don't believe me. Please leave now.

Let us pray.

Our Father who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven...

Why doesn't Dad fold his hands?

We've also got something for her.

Come on.

What's that? What's this nonsense?

It's for Nanna if she flies past. She can see where we live.

Are you mad, Dad?

No.

I'm not.

All officers are working to solve the murder of Nanna Birk Larsen.

But police are still looking for the perpetrator.

CID head Buchard says,

"We're following a definite lead. We can't say any more right now".

- Is it a bad time? - No, Jan.

- Thanks for yesterday. - Nice of you to come.

Our pleasure. I'll just find Rie.

No, I wanted to talk to you.

- We're just about to leave. - I know.

To the studio to talk about integration and role models.

Let me help you with this.

You know my agenda?

Rie is worried about you.

- I'm in control. - Don't mention the role models.

It's not coming from me.

It's coming right from the top.

It's enough that one of your cars is involved.

Withdraw all media material about immigrants.

You'll be expected to focus on other things.

The environment, housing. What do I know?

- I can't. - Don't you understand?

You're not being asked.

Look upon it as them wanting the best for you.

Then you can ignore my integration policies.

Personally, I'm trying to help my future son-in-Law.

What happens to candidates who go against the parliament?

- You knew he was coming. - No, I didn't know he was free.

- But you agree with him? - I did you a huge favour.

- I can't see that. How? - This saves your policies.

It feels like you, your father and the party are shafting me.

- Don't you want to be elected? - That's not the only thing.

- What's it about, then? - It's...

We're ready. Nice to see you.

We're in here.

- Do you mind sitting on my right? - Not at all.

- One theory is this. - I'll be down soon.

Kemal leaves his wife to meet the girl somewhere.

They end up in the flat, fighting.

You're here now? I'll come down now.

He binds her and drugs her.

Then he returns to his wife.

Next morning he tells her the tradesman cancelled.

But Kemal cancelled. The tradesman confirmed this.

He returns to toy with the girl in the flat

and waits till it gets dark.

He picks the car up at the school

and carries the girl out in a rubbish bag.

He drives to the woods with the girl.

He removes every trace, sands the floor and does the tiling.

- I'm off. I'll call you. - How does he get the car?

Well...

He found the keys at the school on Friday.

I don't think he's that stupid so if I were you...

I wouldn't pull him in till you get hard evidence.

Thanks for this week. It's been... interesting.

I agree.

I've left my new number on your desk but...

you may not need it.

- Take care. - We'll be in touch.

This has become a personal battle

between the mayor, Bremer, and Troels Hartmann.

Tonight we'll clarify many of the issues.

We need to buy beer and schnapps.

We've got plenty of time.

- And sweets for the coffee. - We'll make it.

- Yes? - I found the old CID's papers.

- Do you want to hear this? - No, give them to Meyer.

- Okay. - What's in them?

It's a 20-year-old case.

Actually it was never brought to court.

I forgot my cap.

It looks like...

We'll buy a new one.

It's about...

- I don't want a Swedish cap. - We're not turning back.

- I'm listening now. - It's about...

a drug dealer who got beaten to a pulp.

Mark, stop it!

No case?

They never found the culprit

but Theis Birk Larsen was a suspect and was questioned.

- Why? - He had a motive.

The dealer had threatened to disclose something about Birk Larsen.

What did the dealer say?

Holy shit!

What?

He said nothing.

He was very dead.

- Give me Meyer. - He's busy.

- Tell him to ring me. - Okay. Bye.

- Do you want a soft drink? - Are we allowed?

Which one?

- More coffee? - Yes.

I'll get some.

- Theis... - What? I'm getting coffee.

- I talked to her. - Who?

- Jannik's wife. - Never mind.

- I don't think so. - It's not appropriate now.

- I know, Theis. - What? I'm making coffee.

He's here.

Who?

The guy they suspect. He's here.

Thank you for the beautiful wreath.

You're welcome. It's from the parents too.

I'm just thanking Rama for the wreath.

We need more coffee.

- I'd better make some. - Yes.

Thanks for opening your home to us.

It means a lot for the class to be here today.

We've got a green city plan with more recreational areas

and better conditions for the kids.

No objections?

No, luckily we agree on a few minor things.

Let's change focus...

Camera 3, get ready.

There are other election issues. Integration is an important one.

You've talked about role models, Troels Hartmann.

How can they make a difference?

We approach integration holistically and we have many projects.

I don't want to prioritise.

But we must do something about the ghettos

our Lord Mayor likes since he built so many of them.

We've built good, healthy and affordable housing.

- We don't tell people where to live. - That's...

I want to talk about role models because...

it interests me to know why they're so important.

They're important...

Why should we treat immigrants differently?

Why not treat them like the rest of us?

- That's not it. - What, then?

As far as I know you're not proud of them.

Hold on one. Get three ready.

Yes.

- Very proud. - Yes?

The role models have contributed

to a fall in crime amongst young immigrants.

It's in decline.

That speaks for itself.

These volunteers have made an enormous contribution.

- I can't praise them enough. - It sounds very good.

But isn't it right that some of your role models are criminals?

- Of course they aren't. - Isn't one involved in a murder case?

What murder case, Bremer?

Troels Hartmann knows.

- Is it a concrete case? - Yes.

Let's make it theoretical.

Let's say that one of them is involved in a murder case

it's like the fox herding geese.

Bremer, we'll drop it unless you can be more concrete.

Let's just stay on that thought.

Let's presume that it's true.

If the rumours are true, aren't we generalising?

If one immigrant strays, all immigrants are guilty?

It's just as absurd to think all politicians are the same.

They're not.

Role models have done more for the city in my four years

than you have in twelve.

- That's debatable. - I have a plan.

A visionary city of the future

with room for everybody and no slums or ghettos

like most other European cities.

In attaining that goal the role models are pivotal.

Turn it off.

- Lund here. - Yes?

- Did you hear about Birk Larsen? - No.

We've found the bike. I'm busy, what do you want?

What bike?

A patrol car stopped a cyclist without lights.

It turned out to be Nanna Birk Larsen's.

Turn it off.

It was stolen outside Kemal's flat.

I've sent a man for it.

- So let's sign off now. - Keep an eye on Birk Larsen.

Why?

Read his old case file and don't let him near Kemal.

That'll be difficult. They left in his car.

What?

I sent a man for him but Birk Larsen gave him a lift.

- What? - Did Kemal get home?

Listen to me. Larsen doesn't know anything.

He wouldn't have invited Kemal if he did.

- Has he returned home? - I haven't got time for this.

- Your seat belt. - Yes.

This is the captain speaking.

Welcome aboard this flight to Stockholm.

I regret the delay but we're now ready for take-off.

We expect fine weather and wish you a pleasant trip.

I hope they can understand us.

Hello...

- Get your luggage. - What?

Thanks for the lift.

I left the car at home in case my wife needs it.

Wasn't that my turn-off?

Oh, yes.
