Original subtitles

- And before? - When?

You proposed and they said yes right away?

- Something like that. - Then you lost interest?

- There's no pressure. Marie. - l was just asking.

- Did you pay for this? - l won it. l told you that.

What's that about Benjamin?

He used a boy as a suicide bomber while he robbed a bank.

And again in Turin? Why isn't he behind bars?

He's untouchable. He's got friends.

Do you want a lift? Get in. Hallgrim.

- What did you say? - l've been at a health resort.

Alone?

- Aren't you getting married? - She can't decide.

- Maybe you're not persistent enough. - l'm very persistent.

- Remember Eigilsson? - Yes. your dear old father.

My dear old father. l met him in Berlin.

- ls he still chasing skirt? - He's slowed down a bit.

Say hello to him from me.

What?

l just can't picture you being alone on holiday.

l had a bad experience with Benjamin Stern.

The guy you testified against in lsrael?

l don't know what went wrong.

Over-exertion... They thought l needed a holiday.

l saw a photo of Stern in a newspaper not long ago.

He's wanted all over the world.

And you're still looking for him?

- How's Maja? - Great.

She often talks about you. Send her a Christmas card.

- l heard the Eagle proposed. - Who told you?

- When does he return? - Today.

lntelligence was asked to take you on board.

What?

The investigator and the prosecutor can't be married to each other.

No. that's clear.

The only vacant position is in Ringsted.

- Who says l'd be the one to move? - Thea's already decided.

You talked to Thea?

House prices are at rock bottom down there.

l'm not moving to Ringsted.

Oh? ls he having second thoughts?

- Our relationship is professional. - Happy to hear it.

Wait here.

l forgot something.

- l'll go on ahead. - See you up there.

Fancy seeing you here.

What's with the hat?

How did you know l'd be here?

Did you agree with Thea to transfer me?

What?

Did you tell her we were getting married?

Everybody knows the story about that ring.

lt's not on.

Welcome home.

Hi. Where are you off to?

- The Hague. - The war crimes conference.

- lsn't that Thea's job? - So who gets stuck with it?

Oh. thank you. We have to hurry.

Yes.

ls there...

any news from the department?

l'll be right there.

Benjamin Stern's deeply involved in trading blood diamonds from Congo.

What?

How do we know?

Michael has regenerated his computer files.

Hallgrim...

See you.

l've found the two Congo bitches at the Sandholm Centre.

- Swoop. - What?

- Run in the snipes. - Well...

At Sandholm. right?

Go for it. gun dog. Understood?

THE EAGLE a crime odyssey

L - e M - a - b - e.

Le Mabé.

- Le Mabe? - l think it's Le Mabé.

Sounds French. lt isn't.

What's that got to do with blood diamonds from Congo?

l'll check lnterpol.

What does it mean. ""blood diamond?""

They're diamonds used to buy weapons.

A handful can finance a whole war.

- Good morning. Frandsen. - Yes. l'm sorry.

- Grab some coffee. - Ta. Welcome back.

- Thanks. - Sit down. l'll get it.

Michael found something in Benjamin's deleted files.

An email.

- Here's a print-out. - Read it.

Benjamin Stern got this email three weeks ago.

lt says ""Briefing from Le Mabé.

""Beatrice Nendolo and Mateso Kalume. Destination. Denmark.""

Le Mabé? lt rings an unpleasant bell.

The Sandholm Centre have confirmed

they have two female asylum seekers from Congo.

Beatrice Nendolo and Mateso Kalume.

Mother. 40. and daughter. 1 6.

Beatrice is a doctor at a hospital for rape victims

in Kisangani. a diamond town in East Congo.

They were both gang-raped.

Beatrice lost her unborn child.

They were raped by about 40 soldiers who were high on palm wine and Viagra.

- lt went on for over a day. - Ditte. let's focus.

We can't save the whole world.

Why did they choose Denmark?

To join their husband and father. a newspaper editor in Congo.

He was imprisoned by rebel forces.

He escaped and was rumoured to be in Denmark. But he isn't.

- What's the father's name? - Kalume wa Kalume.

The Red Cross has a tracing service.

""Tracing Request."" l'll call them right now.

l forgot my mobile. You're faster on the computer.

lt's pronounced Le Mabé.

One of the most brutal warlords in Congo. Wanted for war crimes.

ln the local dialect his name means ""The Evil One"".

Read that again.

Why would he brief Benjamin about them?

Can they testify against Le Mabé?

- l don't like it. We should move them. - Yes.

Can you organise it?

Talk to them. Ditte. you too. See if they know Stern.

- Get a move on. - Damn it.

You'll have to fix that yourself. Frandsen.

Stuff it in the cup.

Hi. Anna.

How cosy. Are you still at our disposal?

l forgot something.

- Who's driving? You or me? - Me. l want to get home alive.

- Warm it up. lt'll be as cold as ice. - He said that yesterday.

You forgot your mobile.

Thanks.

- Did you get into strife at home? - Sleeping.

- What about tonight? - No.

Okay.

Villy... we can meet at five.

Hi. Anna. lt's Michael.

l just wanted to say hi. l left a message last week.

You might not have my mobile number so l'll send you an SMS.

lt would be very nice if you gave me a call.

We could make a date or something.

Anyway. bye.

Thea...

Have you asked to transfer Marie?

Did she say that?

- You haven't? - Why would l?

l expect to hear if you move in together.

lf you deal with your relationship intelligently...

Did she say that? l'm sorry to hear it.

l thought she took it off because of the diamond.

What?

Benjamin has supplied blood diamonds to Sonata in Stockholm for years.

The ring l bought Marie helped finance a war?

lt's a dilemma. On the one hand. a diamond is a diamond.

But if it's associated with corpses. would one want to wear it?

l've found Kalume wa Kalume. Beatrice's husband. in Stockholm.

- What do they know? - The Swedes think he's in danger.

Thanks.

That war cost three million lives. Did you know?

- Why didn't l know? - lt's been in the papers.

l can't stand reading about it.

- Yes. - Didn't you forget your phone?

- Then why call? - l forgot you forgot.

Kalume is in Stockholm.

- Why didn't our authorities know? - They didn't check.

Of course not.

Ditte Hansen?

Marianne Bonde. lmmigration.

- We spoke on the phone. - Yes.

Come this way.

Please.

lf you wait here. l'll get them.

Thanks.

- Kalume is in Sweden. - Oh?

We'll hide the women with the husband in Stockholm.

Good idea.

- She burnt the candle down. - She's looking forward to Christmas.

l'm not. lt's my first without the kids.

They have some news about your dad.

- What's happening? ls there a problem? - Just wait a minute.

Explain. Mum. What have you told them?

There's hope that we can join your dad.

You can't promise them that.

- What? - That they can go to Sweden.

- Her husband's there. - lt's practically impossible.

lt's what?

They must be granted asylum here first. lf they get it.

And then. like everybody else. they can apply for family reunion

and it's possible that it might happen in Sweden.

Detective lnspector Villy Frandsen here. lt's about a Kalume...

l thought l made myself clear.

Goodbye.

What was that?

The rapes ruined Mateso's abdomen so...

she suffers from vaginal fistula.

What's that?

The rape injuries cause her faeces to come out through her vagina.

She can't control it and it's very painful.

Why isn't that girl in hospital?

ln Denmark. asylum seekers aren't operated on unless it's life-threatening.

Again?

- l don't get it. - Neither did Frandsen.

- Well? - Mateso has unpleasant after-effects.

That's an understatement.

The girl has to wear a nappy and we do nothing.

We're not like that in Denmark.

Frandsen checked. We are.

What's the world coming to?

- l'll go to Stockholm. - Why?

To see Kalume.

l'll need his articles on Stern. Le Mabé and the lsraeli weapons industry.

l'll get it. Have a chat to Benjamin's mum and grandma.

- They live in Stockholm. - lt's worth a try.

lb. you know that fund you're chairman of?

No. not that one. the other one.

We need 1 00.000.

A young girl from Congo has been damaged.

She has... No. l know that. She needs an operation.

One sec.

Can we protect her in a private hospital?

- Most likely. - Yes. we can.

Thanks. my friend. The same to you.

l think l can get her in right away.

- Can we drive them straight there? - Yes. that's great.

Call me in Stockholm.

Yes.

""Swoop"" means the last crucial exchange.

- What the hell's going on? - Do you want me to bomb the lot?

Wait. Something's happening.

What the hell?

l can't do it now.

They're going for a drive.

- Then do it now. - They got into a car.

Well... What are you going to do?

Okay. Hallgrim. Bye.

- What did he say? - For us to shadow them.

Shall we?

Yes.

ln that entire war. no one was convicted for rape.

The women are ostracised. No one will touch them.

You know what Beatrice said?

Tell people that rape is not the same as infidelity.

Just drive.

When l think of those two women... lt could have been Fie Mouse and me.

lt's so meaningless.

- lt's not meaningless. - What?

People study these things at conferences for executioners.

l don't believe it. Frandsen.

Torture breaks down interpersonal trust. Rape is one method.

lf ever they want sex again. they can think of 40 soldiers.

Hasn't he been up their backside for a while?

Yes.

Check this number. UB 43352.

- lt's a Nikki Vincent Hansen. - Anything on him?

l'm about to check. right?

- One conviction for racist assault. - One of Benjamin's apes?

We're on Stumpedysse Road. Will you get assistance?

Shit! What shall l do? l'll stay with them.

He turned around. Send them to his address.

- Do you think Stern's in Sweden? - l don't know for sure.

But you think so.

Have you seen Kalume's articles on Congo?

No.

They're frightening.

They show the lsraeli arms industry's role in the war.

- Weapons for diamonds. - With Stern as the middleman?

The articles made headlines. A UN report was quashed.

And Benjamin lost a fortune.

Have you told Kalume his wife lost their unborn child?

No. He's still traumatised after his experience in Le Mabé's jail.

l'll follow you out.

Did you talk to Stern's mum and grandma?

Should we monitor them?

Do you mind if l talk to them?

What about? Do you want to know what Stern's up to?

- Something like that. - Feel free.

Hi. Hallgrim.

- lt's Stræde. - Yes. So it is.

She's in the shower. Can l give her a message?

A warlord from Congo. l've only got his name. Le Mabé...

Has The Hague got anything on him?

- Urgent? - By tomorrow morning.

- l'll get her going. - l'm sure you will.

Bye.

- What? - Hallgrim rang.

- You answered my phone? - lt was official.

What did he want?

- Le Mabé? - By tomorrow morning.

- One more? - Aren't we in a hurry?

We'll get there when we get there.

l've booked a table at Villa Rozenrust.

l thought we were dining with the prosecutor.

Did you?

Yes?

Hallgrimsson. l called you.

l'm afraid l can't help you.

l have no idea where he is.

He comes here every now and then but...

without warning.

What do you think he's done?

lt must be something terrible. but it may not be true.

He was a wonderful boy.

This is my daughter Sara. Benjamin's mother.

lt's no use. She lives in her own world.

But it's for the best.

- Would you like a cup of tea? - Yes. thank you.

- ls your Christmas shopping done? - Not yet.

- Any children? - No.

That's a pity. Why not?

l'd like to show you some photos.

This is a school in Berlin.

Benjamin planned to blow it up.

Do you have photos of that too? The explosion. that is.

- No. - So nothing happened?

But something did happen in Turin.

You know. l'm still thinking of where you can buy your Christmas presents...

My apologies.

lt's not that l don't want to look at your photos but...

you have. like so many others. preconceived ideas about our family.

He went to prison for six months in lsrael.

And it destroyed him.

He was a soldier. He was innocent.

But he wasn't. Mrs Stern.

l was there when he killed the boy.

l testified against him.

Would you please leave?

lt's your own fault. my girl.

You raised Benjamin...

without any love.

Hallgrim here.

Hi. Elin.

No. you don't.

He's probably turned the phone off.

l'll tell him when l see him.

How are you otherwise?

l see. That's great. Let's hope it works.

Yes.

That's fine. l'll tell him. Bye.

Where are you. Villy? You must have been delayed.

Just come. l'm here.

Hi. Frandsen.

Call your wife and tell her you've arrived safely in Stockholm.

Just as well you called. l'm on my way home.

- Where's Maja? - l'm buying her Christmas presents.

She's at her girlfriend's.

Thank you.

What are you doing in Stockholm?

- On assignment? - l wanted to see someone.

ls it someone l know?

l don't think so.

Why is that?

lt's Benjamin Stern.

- Do you think he's here? - That's why l'm here.

You're a strange policeman.

Yes.

- l've called you 1 00 times. - l know. And l want you to stop.

- Yes. but what's up? - Didn't you say the cops had seen you?

They've gone feral. They visited Mum and Lennart.

l think we'll get you out of there. We'll work something out.

- Those Congolese bitches must die. - l'm not so sure any more.

- You must leave the country. - Okay.

But how?

- ln an ambulance. - What?

- ln an ambulance. - What a bloody joke.

You'll be advised.

What a nong.

An ambulance.

Well. this is where l'm staying.

Hallgrimsson.

This is Sara Stern.

27 Eksjö Road.

- Give me that again. - 27 Eksjö Road.

27 Eksjö Road. Thank you.

He should never have been born.

l see. So the old lies are coming back again.

You know very well it's not a lie.

You looked the other way when Dad came to me at night.

lt was the most convenient thing to do.

Will you pick me up on the way? No. l'm ready.

Fine. Bye.

l'm sorry.

See you.

Good luck.

Right...

He's not here.

Let's get some breakfast.

Going somewhere?

Just to Copenhagen.

You shouldn't be here. The police came yesterday.

- Hallgrimsson? - Yes. l think so.

You think?

He testified against me in Gaza.

Did he excite you. Sara?

Did he make you horny?

Of course he did.

You bloody fucking whore. You're a bloody old whore!

You're a bloody whore. Why do you think Dad threw you out?

Benjamin!

- l never want to see you again. - Grandma...

Get out of here! The same way you came.

Now!

But Grandma...

- You got Mateso in so quickly. - lt's the least they could do.

- You look awful. - lt's nothing.

Nothing? l can see that.

Jens and l fight all the time. Over the kids. Christmas...

He talks about his rights. l abhor that word. The right to one's kids.

What will you do?

l don't know. Thea.

l don't like to whinge all the time. Think of the people in Congo.

Be strong if you want to help others.

Want a female lawyer?

- They're feared in divorce cases. - l don't know.

Frandsen! Typical.

He wants to make up for being late yesterday.

- Good morning. - lt's me.

How would you feel if your beloved was pregnant?

What?

- When Elin was pregnant. say. - None of your business.

- Were you preoccupied? - Perhaps. Why?

lf you hadn't been at the birth. what then?

l don't follow.

Kalume hasn't seen his wife for seven months.

She was three months pregnant then.

He hears from her yesterday

but doesn't ask about the baby or how the birth went.

- See what l'm getting at? - Kalume is not Kalume.

Precisely.

You didn't tell him where they are?

Shit! That's exactly what l did.

l'll tell Holsoe and send Nazim and Michael out there.

- Anything on Le Mabé from The Hague? - Yeah. you bet.

- Any photos? - Several.

- Could you fax them to Rydén? - Okay.

- Quickly. please. - Yes. all right.

- How are you? - Busy. Bye.

Good morning.

Sleep well?

Yes. And you?

Hi.

Well. what now?

Freddy... An emergency call from an ambulance.

A knife wound. They're stuck in traffic.

They're close by. Can we take him?

- Go and have a bath. - Do you think l need to?

lt was good the first time.

- Yes? - lt's me. Where are you?

One minute away. The traffic's heavy.

- Move your arse. - Relax. Frandsen.

- Anything? - No.

- Why is the ambulance there? - Stabbing.

- When? - Ten minutes ago.

l think he died.

- Piece of shit doesn't work. - lt's tricky.

Drop the knife!

Drop it!

Lie down. Lie down!

You must never stop singing. Not for one day.

Marie's in Congo. Let's check her fax so l can sleep sound tonight.

Here's something for you.

What the hell...

lf that's Le Mabé. where's Kalume?

Probably dead. Thanks to him.

He murders him. takes his identity and then we protect him.

- Let's get going. - Yes. fine.

- Yes? - lt's Marika.

l just got home. lt looks terrible.

There's been a shooting. He's dead.

Le Mabé.

He's in there.

Where's Le Mabé?

- Who? - Your guest.

He disappeared.
