Original subtitles

Do you know Nicholas?

- What's he done? - He's been killed.

Nicholas got his storylines from an actual rapist.

- The Red Indian... - He cuts their pubic hair.

Ulf, I'm being straight. We're folding Unit One.

- What? - What's up? You look terrible.

My Unit One has gone.

Nicholas was emailing a prison inmate.

- Simon Friis. - He's out now.

- We were getting married. - And?

I grew scared of him. That's why I hid in England.

He said he'd kill me.

If he couldn't have me, no one would.

- He's been after her for years. - He was a racing driver?

Request for Assistance A-19/01

Grab this and call LaCour.

- Ida here. Gaby's gone. - Gaby's disappeared.

- Where are you? - In the woods west of the lake.

I heard. The woods west of the lake.

We're in pursuit of a black BMW.

- May I speak to Ernst? - Ingrid!

A black BMW... model 316i...

Year 1999...

- Registration number RN... - 36590.

Bloody hell.

Come here.

She's okay.

UNIT ONE

- I was so scared. - Not now, Johnny.

EPISODE 30

- If I ever... - Johnny!

If you're thinking of getting involved...

There'll be no wedding on Saturday.

Want some coffee?

Hey, Johnny.

What a load of shit, eh?

- How is she? - She wants to go home.

What if you hadn't been there?

But we were.

I'm going to get her some coffee.

Johnny!

You look like shit.

Gaby? Hello?

You still don't recall where you saw him?

All I remember is running along the trail and...

We said goodbye and I ran on.

I heard someone behind me

and I thought it was you.

Why wasn't it you, Fischer?

Coffee's ready.

Hi, Gaby.

Hi, Ida.

You want to screw up her wedding too?

What did your dad say? Should we buy the flat?

- Too expensive, he says. - Really?

Anywhere else it would be.

We can get it for 300,000 less.

No. I won't do that.

He's a friend of mine.

- Is that relevant? - It's just not done.

Racing driver triple urderer

Who is this?

Tobias? I didn't recognise your voice.

Yes?

I'm sorry. You'd better get going, then.

Gaby's doing well.

I sat with her all last night.

Nothing special. I just wanted to say good morning.

Yes. Bye, sweetie.

- One day they'll leave home. - Who is he?

His voice has broken and I hadn't noticed.

Born a silvertail and his mum's a housewife.

- Why attend boarding school? - I'm not a housewife.

- I don't see my friends. - They live in Nice.

- Who does? - Simon Friis' parents.

How did they get that psych test?

He's got an IQ of 156.

- Gaby here. - Hi. How are you going?

I remember where I saw him.

At the hotel when you were fixing my dress.

He let himself into the room next to mine.

He stayed in the room next door to me.

I'm sorry.

Apparently he booked in Thursday evening.

Initially for a month. He wasn't there last night.

He isn't here.

Have a look at this.

What is it?

- What's going on here? - He spied on her from the start.

He's been lying here ogling her...

Look.

His trophies.

He's been busy.

That's the girl from Bornholm. And Maribo...

- Yes. - L�gst�r.

This is Middelfart. Where's Caroline Torp-Petersen?

Ingrid. Give it here.

- For genetic tests. - May I use your phone?

You've checked his old cases?

Briefing, Sor� 10.00, Thursday November 1

And the common thread is...

all the girls were attacked while jogging.

- Hey! - Sorry.

Thank you.

What took him to the various towns?

After losing his licence

he sold computer gear for cars.

He stayed in the room next to Gaby's.

- He prepared thoroughly. - Yes.

His room's full of photos.

He's fantasising... about what he'll do to her.

Those fantasies will have to culminate in something.

- Murder? - There!

His first premeditated killing

gave him a kick he'd never felt before.

- Like what? - An enormous high or...

Like a junkie or an alcoholic.

- Now he wants more? - What does he get out of it?

He's keeping his fear at bay.

- Fear of what? - Dying.

How touching. He kills because he fears death.

- Does he know what he's doing? - Yes.

That's what's so painful.

He knows it's terrible but he can't control it.

- How I feel for him. - We must try to understand him.

I understand him. He had a crap childhood.

His domineering dad beat him.

And his doting mother smothered him. Am I right?

- You're close. - And that test?

At 15 he caused a fatality in a stolen car.

No remorse... Hyper-energetic and intelligent.

And hyper-sexed?

He cuts their pubic hair.

It's his signature. He wants to be noticed.

"I did it but you can't catch me."

- That's why he chose Gaby? - I think so.

What will he do next?

His illness is escalating.

He'll keep on killing till you catch him.

Don't do that!

- What? - Why are you here?

Don't go out without me.

I wanted to cheer up Caroline with these.

Including the ones from me?

Where do you think you're going?

What the hell? You're Johnny Olsen.

Caroline?

These are for you.

Where are these from?

They're gone, Caroline.

No harm done.

- Where did they come from? - From Simon.

Simon? What about the guard?

- She wants to be discharged. - Stop her.

How? She's frantic. She's unprotected.

- Have her arrested. - For what?

I don't know. Think of something.

- Stay with Johnny, Gaby. - Okay.

How did he find her?

- We need a safe house. - And Gaby?

- The guard. - It's not working.

Johnny's there too.

- Why just leave flowers? - To mark his territory.

Ruben's house, Slagelse 12.22, Thursday November 1

- Are you okay, Caroline? - Yes.

- You've made the place nice. - Thanks.

A cup of tea?

- And you? - No, I'm off.

- You're leaving? - Yes.

- I thought you'd both stay. - No need.

He could come when IP's out there.

He doesn't know you're here.

Call if something happens.

Caroline, no one will be able to get past me.

Won't you sit down?

Are you sure you don't want a cup?

What did you do in London?

I worked for a wedding planner.

You're looking at a man who really needs you.

Are you getting married?

No. I'm escorting a young lady up the aisle on Saturday.

- Your daughter? - I don't have children.

Why not?

It didn't pan out that way.

Is the girl part of your family?

Yes.

You could say that.

If I can't have it the way I want it, I'm out.

It's my way or the highway. I don't want that fucking shit.

You think I'm insane in the brain?

What are you doing here?

Down...

I'm not on the Internet. This is psycho in the head.

Directory assistance? What the hell is this?

Hi, Ruben.

My name's Simon.

- That's a great comic strip. - I didn't know it was real.

- Say again? - About the rapes and...

- The pubic hair. - But is it?

What?

For real?

- But... - Who told you?

And the psychopath who eats little kids, is that real too?

No.

Ruben.

Can I help it if they splash me all over the front pages

as a mass murderer?

I don't know those girls at all.

Look at me.

Would I need to force them?

No.

- How could you think that? - I'm sorry, I'm like that.

When I shop I see severed arms and legs in the freezer.

And cunts lying next to the milk.

You're sick in the head, eh?

Yes.

Well...

I'm not mad at you. But do something for me.

Let me stay here for as long as I want.

And if they find me...

then it's your fault.

Is it a deal?

So move over now.

Fuck! I didn't ask for that.

What are you looking for?

This is my girlfriend. And she's disappeared.

- Are we waiting around here? - What about the orchids?

Bought in the hospital shop.

The lady there does remember him,

but she didn't notice his face was in all the papers.

He could be anywhere.

- Right. - What?

He has been. That album with his trophies...

- We must find the girls. - Forensics has it.

- Then get a copy. - Hey! Lt'll be here in an hour.

Great. Because he could be with one of his old flames.

Go outside if you have to argue.

Hi.

- Are they the photos? - Yes.

And the camera? Any of Caroline?

The camera was in his car, but no film.

Okay.

Why don't you stay away till your wedding?

And where would I go? Tell me that.

I feel safe here.

- We could arrange... - I want to be here.

- My word, they're great. - Don't forget them.

Watch me.

Safely tucked away. I won't change pants.

Come bare-arsed as long as you turn up.

Ulf?

- Where's IP? - In Copenhagen.

- Get him. - He's guarding Caroline.

I see. He'll have to hear it later.

- What? - I thought...

it's only fair that I should tell you

rather than you reading it in the papers.

The chief of police

and her henchman Palsby...

They've decided

to erase Unit One from the map.

They're closing us down.

You will be transferred to other departments.

Yes.

They're splitting us up.

Even our Christmas party is up in the air.

There must be a reason.

We're too resourceful, too popular.

- The press and public like us. - Their argument is?

There is none. That's how it works.

That's fine. Let's down tools now.

We can't.

No one will be transferred

anywhere they don't want to work.

What's the idea? We want to be here.

It's the same as telling us to take redundancies.

I didn't say that.

Would they rethink if we walked out?

- That wouldn't look good. - Then we'll do that.

- That's how I feel. - We'll do just that.

We can't do that. Go home, with him out there?

No.

Of course we can't.

- Are the shoulders too tight? - Yes, you need a new one.

This will do.

Come and help me out of the limousine.

- IP here. - Simon Friis here, IP.

- May I speak to Caroline? - I didn't get that.

- May I speak to Caroline? - Who do you want to talk to?

Just tell her I'll never let her go.

Never in all my life.

Someone's getting busy now.

- When did you hear about it? - Palsby told me yesterday.

- What's in it for him? - Well...

The biggest police district in Denmark.

- Bully for him. - Yes.

He looks like a fool, talks like one and...

he is a fool!

Your phone, Ingrid.

- Ingrid. - He called.

- You? - He used the landline.

I got the number.

It's 57822210.

57822210...

We'll find a new safe house.

- Start packing. - Okay.

He's at Ruben's house in Slagelse.

- Should I call surveillance? - Yes.

Ernst? He's found IP and Caroline at the house.

Are you coming over? Yes.

He called from mid-Sj�lland.

He's at least half an hour away.

How did he know?

Suspect's location 15.22, Thursday November 1

He isn't there.

Police!

Well, Ruben. You had a visitor?

Do you know where he is?

IP and Caroline are going to Glums�.

To my sister's summerhouse. There!

- Check the surroundings. - Of course.

- But be discreet. - IP's not being followed?

The surveillance team is 300 metres behind them.

- How did he find her? - I don't know.

- Congratulations. - On what?

- Your TV performance. - Oh, that. Thanks.

You moved me to tears.

Ingrid?

You know that Homicide has always been my pet project.

In a way one could say it's the heart of Unit One.

Or rather, was the heart.

- It will move to Forensics. - I understand that.

It's a name change, but...

I would like...

you to stay on as chief of Homicide.

Yes...

- It's a given. - Not all that given.

- Why not? - Palsby has other plans for you.

He wants to promote you if you quit Homicide.

Oh?

- To what? - Regular hours.

Police HQ from 9 to 5 every day.

Deputy assistant commissioner.

More money.

Time for the children.

And your friends.

I'll understand if you're tempted.

I rang Tobias this morning.

His voice has broken and I hadn't even noticed.

Of course.

You'd rather a safe job than be a colleague.

Well...

- That was below the belt. - Keep me posted.

Deputy assistant commissioner!

He called a cop from your phone.

Interrogation of Ruben Simonsen 16.15, Thursday November 1

How did he get the number?

He logged into my computer.

He knew the cop's address by heart

so he just logged in.

Why did he want the cop?

He wanted that bit of cunt.

Who?

The cunt.

Ruben...

We're wondering how Simon knew

she was with the cop.

- Would you know? - He forgot that.

How could Simon know that?

That bastard stole my computer.

I'd like it back.

A triple murderer has touched that photo.

You've met your hero and you survived.

How did you manage that?

- He said you were fools. - He said that about us?

- Why did he say that? - You were too easy.

No matter what you did

he'd always be two metres from her arse.

He stole your computer?

Two metres... Were those his exact words?

GPS...

Yes.

- What is it? - Just a sec.

- Engaged... - What?

Caroline's mobile may have a GPS unit.

Of course.

Pick up!

No one will go anywhere they don't want to.

I'm not going anywhere. If they close us down, I'll quit.

- Think of your pension. - You sound like you approve!

Whose side are you on? Someone's calling me.

- IP here. - Can Caroline hear me?

Fine. Did you just get a new mobile phone?

- Yes. - Did you buy it?

My brother gave it to me.

- A GPS? - Yes.

Give it to me.

- What are you doing? - I chucked it.

He chucked it. Where are you?

On the corner of Sigersted and Sk�lsk�r.

- Do we follow the plan? - Sigersted and Sk�lsk�r...

Ingrid says yes to continuing with the plan.

Why did he chuck it out the window?

Why not leave it in a cell for Simon to pick up?

Wait for Simon at Sigersted.

IP threw her mobile out the window.

Thanks.

- Where's Johnny? - He went out for pastries.

They're right here.

- Now what? - Get Ernst.

Three police cars are blocking us in.

We can't get out because of your cars.

There's a chip in your mobile that a satellite can track

by use of a laptop.

Nicholas gave it to me from Simon?

I should have given my wife one.

- Would it have helped? - No, but...

It might have shortened the agony.

- Is the family coming Saturday? - I have no family.

They're splitting the whole thing apart.

- What the hell? - He went that way.

- In a... - Why are you here?

- Coming? - No. That way!

- Colour? - Blue.

I think we've reached a crossroads.

Yes.

Right or left?

- Don't you normally hear bells? - Yes.

But I don't hear shit.

- Come in, Steffen. Report! - They're here.

- Shall we stay here? - It's a bad connection.

- Repeat that. - They're at Skovly, Glums�.

- Is the task force there? - No.

- Stay till they're in position. - Okay.

Sor� 19.04, Thursday November 1

The task force should have been there

before they arrived.

Yes, that's it. And furthermore, Ulf...

Is your brain still in the chief's office?

How could you tell IP

about Unit One when he's out on a job?

We'll cancel... again.

IP was bound to lose his head. Yes, we'll do that.

Didn't you promise me to butt out?

- Yes. - But you interfered.

Don't interfere, Ingrid.

If he hadn't gone

they'd still be looking for that mobile.

- Thanks! - Having fun?

- Have you eaten? - No.

- Your blood sugar's low. - I was on my way.

Coming?

Come on.

Wow!

- What gives? - He's tailed us all this time.

He's been tracking her mobile.

IP went nuts and chucked it

when Ulf told him Unit One's a goner.

- That's a bad joke. - It's no joke.

- What? - They're abolishing us.

They're scrapping Unit One?

I simply don't...

I can become deputy assistant commissioner.

Oh?

You'll be Denmark's youngest.

Yes, if I leave Homicide.

That would upset Ulf.

I want some years with Tobias before he leaves home.

He'd think I'm chickening out.

I don't know.

Bibi has to work out what she wants too.

Gry would like me to be at home more.

What does Ingrid want?

I really don't know.

Why am I so restless? I shouldn't be nervous.

IP and Caroline have been there for three hours.

30 taskforce men cover the whole area

and Fischer and LaCour are on their way.

But something's wrong.

How many murders have you solved?

None at all.

But...

I've helped to...

solve a few hundred.

- You've met many murderers? - Well...

What are they like?

Like you and me.

Why do they become murderers?

They're not okay inside.

Is it that simple?

That's scary.

So what's the difference between Simon and me?

He can't feel this.

He can't feel other people.

Someone's coming.

They're my colleagues.

Caroline.

The 30 men outside are trained to protect you.

Nothing will go wrong.

- Your father-in-law called me. - Oh, yes?

- He thinks the flat's too dear. - To him everything's too dear.

He's an old scrooge.

He wants it reduced by 300,000.

- Don't listen. We'll manage. - I told him it was okay.

- Yes? - You've got yourselves a flat.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

- Have you... - No, you first.

Have you decided what you're going to do?

I'm not sure.

Perhaps it's not as bad as Ulf says.

It may be the same work with new people somewhere else.

Yes, maybe.

But tell me when you know where you're going.

Yes, of course. And you too.

She was badly shaken up, eh?

- Who was? - Gaby.

Gaby?

- She was? - Yes.

Well...

- Coming? - In a sec.

- Fischer. - Yes?

- He's in the house. - Yes?

IP, he's here!

Don't leave her side.

Fischer...

What can you do now? What?

What can you do now?

I'll count to five and then I'll fire.

One...

Two...

Three...

Four...

Five.

I was sure you'd shoot me.

You thought so too.

But you didn't do it.

No...

I wouldn't have hurt Caroline.

I just wanted to be good to her.

- Can I be helped? - I wouldn't think so.

You cunt! You bloody cunt!

You'll have to sign this too.

Unit One HQ 09.15, Saturday November 3

Why am I his hostage?

You put 500 kroner towards the wedding present.

- What are we giving them? - A rug for their bedroom.

How could IP question whose side I was on?

I said to Palsby "How am I to control my troops

"when they're dispersed everywhere?"

- I'm a hostage. - IP knows that.

But your timing was very bad.

- I realise that. - It wasn't face-to-face.

- He's been here 40 years. - Yes, yes...

What shall I do with these?

Give them to me.

You?

If Homicide is the heart of Unit One,

I'd better take them.

- You'll stay on as chief? - Yes, I will.

- I knew it all along. - Did you now?

- You dropped this. - Oh, thanks.

Come on.

Congratulations.

Bon voyage.

A jury found Simon Friis guilty of all charges. He was sentenced to life in a psychiatric unit.
