All language subtitles for The Investigation s01e06 In dubio pro reo.eng

Jakob, what do you need
to take it to court?

The cause of death.

What if we never find it?

Then I'm not sure
I can refute his statement.

But aren't you sure he did it?

It doesn't matter either way.
I'm not passing sentence on him.

If I can't prove his guilt beyond
a doubt, he won't be found guilty.

- In dubio pro reo.
- What does that mean?

It means:
When in doubt, for the accused.

Or that any reasonable doubt
shall always benefit the accused.

- That's what we're up against.
- Okay.

- What reasonable doubt is there?
- We don't know the cause of death.

So I can't refute
the accused's statement.

And yes, he's given three different
statements, but he has a right to.

The burden of proof is on us.

If there's doubt, it benefits him.

Right. Let's go over it.
What ammunition do we have?

Musa?

Her blood was in the sub.

He admitted dismembering her
before throwing her overboard.

- So he tried to remove evidence.
- No.

He dismembered her because he couldn't
get her through the tower in one piece.

Wasn't that his explanation?

Nonetheless,
he tried to get rid of the body.

Yes, but not in order to hide anything.
He wanted to spare her family.

He planned the whole thing. He brought
a saw, hose, strips and metal pipes.

He tried to lure others until she
happened to call him for an interview.

The saw was there because
he was putting up shelves in the sub.

The metal pipes and hose
are common elements in a sub.

- Not all witnesses agree with that.
- Who knows a sub best?

The owner who maintains it -

- or some of his random acquaintances?

- What about the other women?
- Inviting them sailing isn't a crime.

Right. We found a video
and images on his PC -

- indicating that he was fascinated by
impalement, beheading and violent porn.

He even watched a snuff film
where a woman was decapitated.

- That was just before they set sail.
- Assumptions.

We know he searched for the film,
but we can't prove he watched it.

And watching violent porn isn't illegal.
It's in bad taste, but not illegal.

Come on! We all know he killed her,
cut her up and threw her in the sea.

Yes, we do. And we know he planned it
and that he committed a sexual crime.

But can we prove it?

In a few days, we'll get the results
of his mental health evaluation.

If that is in our favor
and it questions his mental health -

- we'll stand a better chance.

We're also waiting for the technical
report regarding his latest statement.

Is it technically possible that
she died of carbon monoxide poisoning?

Would it have generated heat
that would be evident on the body?

But it's crucial that Forensics
establish the cause of death.

In dubio pro reo.

We have to prove it
beyond a reasonable doubt.

Hi.

Long day.

Any news?

We're awaiting the forensic report.

Okay.

If they can't prove anything,
we're in trouble.

Right.

Here...

Have some wine.
Enjoy the wait.

I hate waiting.

Yes.

You hate waiting.

- What's that?
- Everything on the case.

- What for?
- I'm going to read it.

All of it?

All of it. Until I find out
what we have overlooked.

- What makes you think we did?
- Because ...

Because this isn't a perfect crime.

It's a clumsy, disgusting crime.

So we must have overlooked something.

How about you?
Are you going home or helping me?

I was going home,
but now I'll help you.

Nikolaj?

An email?
What does it say?

You're kidding!

I'll print it
and read it right away.

What's up?

Forensics couldn't establish
the cause of death.

So what happens now?

I don't know.

Have you read it?

Yes.

What do we do?

I'll go and see Jakob.

There's no conclusion. All the partial
conclusions point to the same thing.

I didn't understand all of it,
but they clearly weren't certain.

- What are our chances now?
- With no cause of death? Poor.

- So now what?
- We'll comb through it and find a way.

But I'm not even sure we have enough
to charge him with manslaughter.

I'm due back in court.

They must be more explicit
in their report.

Klaus?

- Jens, I'm on my lunch break.
- Eat. Don't mind me.

- Why haven't you drawn a conclusion?
- We've drawn plenty!

- But not about the cause of death.
- No. Because we can't establish it.

We both know he killed her.
He cut her up and threw her in the sea.

I can't just give you
the conclusion you need.

I have to be 100% sure.

What do you want me to say?

That you'll go over it again.

Send me an email with follow-up questions
and we'll go over it again.

"All in all, he appears to be perverse
and extremely sexually deviant."

"When his personality is compared
to his deviant sexuality -"

"- he represents a danger to the lives,
bodies and freedom of others."

Is that his mental evaluation?

- He's clearly deviant.
- Yes. Which isn't against the law.

Although it sounds good,
it's hardly manna from heaven.

- But surely it incriminates him.
- Yes, but it's not enough.

- Do we agree that it's good news?
- Yes.

And a cause of death would help.

But it has to be a cause
that supports our theory.

The technical report is here -

- and doesn't conclude
that it did happen -

- but says that it's not inconceivable -

- that a massive amount of heat
was generated in the sub -

- and in that case,
the hatch would have stuck.

So it doesn't refute
the accused's statement.

Then we're back to square one.

What do we do?

I don't know.

What about the phones?
Are they a possibility?

LM says we aren't likely to find them,
and if we do -

- the saltwater will have destroyed
the SIM cards.

Then our only hope is that they find
the cause of death to be decapitation.

When are you seeing her parents?

Later on today.

- Thank you for coming.
- Don't mention it.

I want to tell you the status
of our investigation.

And I promised to share everything
with you.

So I owe it to you to tell you -

- that the technical report can't refute
his latest statement completely.

I see.

And in the divers' opinion -

- finding the phones
is impossible at this time.

They're buried in sand and seaweed.

Give me the radar track and all the
documentation, and I'll keep looking.

I can't do that, Joachim.

Jens...

She recorded all her interviews
on that phone.

- I know.
- All of them!

If we can find it,
we'll find out what happened.

The prosecution says the phones
won't play a role in the indictment -

- as any recordings
will most probably be lost.

Then why don't you proceed
with the court case?

I know that it looks simple.

But unfortunately, it isn't.

He has made statements
that we can't refute yet.

Then why don't you just keep diving?

As long as there's something to find,
I insist that you keep looking. Okay?

Yes.

But what if we never find them?

Without a cause of death, I may not even
have enough to get him for manslaughter.

Hello?

Hi, Klaus.

I'm in the parking garage.
Can I call you back? Thanks.

- Klaus here.
- It's Jens again. What do you have?

Listen, Jens.

I decided to save us a lot of time
and aggravation by telling you...

- Telling me what?
- We've corrected the text.

Now we can't dismiss the fact
that the cause of death -

- was decapitation or strangulation.

- That's the closest we can get.
- So still no conclusion.

We have made many conclusions.
Just not about the cause of death.

Try seeing it from my side...

Pull.

Pull.

Pull.

Damn.

Jens?
You need to see something.

We know she's still alive when she texts
her boyfriend at 20:25.

Then they dive.
At around 23:24, they surface again.

We know this because the accused
sends a text to his wife.

There's no activity on the victim's
phone, so we assume she's already dead.

This is where it gets interesting.
In the forensic report...

... it's about her torso.

They drew a conclusion
about two of the stab wounds.

They were inflicted before
or immediately after death.

Because of the presence of blood in the
tissue, it was still circulating. But...

In his latest statement,
the accused states -

- that the victim died of carbon
monoxide poisoning after being trapped.

After several hours, the accused tried
to lift her out of the sub -

- and was forced to dismember her
and throw her in the sea piece by piece.

Don't you see?

Forensics say
she was stabbed in the torso before -

- or immediately after death.

But the accused says
he sailed for hours -

- before he did anything.

"Before or immediately after."

What does that mean?
Immediately after?

Is it hours? Minutes? Seconds?

They aren't at work yet.

- Where are you going?
- To Forensics.

That's him. Wait here.

Klaus?

For fuck's sake!
Jens, I'm not even at work yet.

That's okay. I have a question.

- You have two minutes.
- It's about stab wounds.

They were inflicted before
or immediately after death.

- What does that mean?
- I'll send you a detailed e-mail.

- How long is "immediately after"?
- It's hard to say exactly.

Seconds? Minutes? Hours?

I had to leave my kids' Christmas party,
so this better be good.

- Have a seat. Coffee?
- No thanks.

We don't have a cause of death, but...

Would you like to start?

Early this morning,
I found something very interesting.

The accused claims the stab wounds
on the torso were inflicted -

- when the body was dismembered,
which was hours after she died.

But despite the report
being inconclusive -

- some details caught my eye.

One of the few conclusions
it draws is -

- that two stab wounds were inflicted
before or immediately after death.

There.

- How long is "immediately after"?
- No more than an hour.

Most likely, minutes.

Okay.

And the technical report concludes that -

- if his story about
carbon monoxide poisoning is true -

- extreme heat would have been generated
in the sub.

But Forensics haven't found
evidence of that on the body.

Before and immediately after,
a lack of extreme heat -

- and decapitation
can't be dismissed...

There it is!

Now the doubt isn't reasonable
any longer.

Jakob here.

Christmas is canceled.
We have an indictment to write.

London?

Then come home.
Aren't there airports in London?

Jakob, we're making the last copies,
so the case is officially yours.

Okay.
I have an idea.

What if it's
an aggravating circumstance -

- that the victim was working
as a journalist?

How can that be aggravating?

It is aggravating
that she only goes with him -

- in her capacity as a journalist.

She wants to tell his story
and as such -

- her work is of social importance.

And he takes advantage of that.

The more I think about it,
the more I believe it is aggravating.

When the prosecution announces
the indictment in public -

- it's thanks to your hard -

- thorough and dogged work.

Thank you very much
for your efforts.

Thank you for your trust in me.
Thank you.

Why do you sound like you're retiring?

You hear what you wanna hear.

That's all for now.
Have a good day.

Do you know how many homicides
I've worked on?

138.

But I've never had a case
like this one.

It's as if we can't get enough.

I saw a placard from a tabloid.

They want to promote a story about how
the accused will celebrate Christmas.

Fifty homicides are committed
every year in Denmark, right?

Yes, thereabouts.

It's the lowest number ever.

But it doesn't feel that way -

- because we hear about all of them.

Maybe it's because
the more civilized we become -

- the greater is our need
to stare into the darkness.

Welcome to this press briefing
at Copenhagen Police Headquarters -

- and the indictment
in the submarine case.

Right... How much time
do you think he'll get?

It's hard to say.

If he's found guilty,
we want a life sentence.

Or a custodial sentence.

Have you considered coming to court?

How could we stay away?

I don't know exactly
how it will play out -

- but you should know
that it can be terrible to witness.

All the details will be revealed
and the press will be all over it.

We're still her parents -

- so of course we want to be there.

Right.

What about your daughter?
Isn't her baby due soon?

- Yes, any minute now.
- Is she alright?

Congratulations, Jens.
You're going to be a grandfather.

That's one of the finest things
one can be.

I don't know how
we would have managed without you.

I wish you'd never met me.

How did it go over there?

Fine.

Come here.

Look.

Everything is black and white.

But even though
the colors are gone now...

... they're still there.

We just can't see them
until the sun rises again.

Almost ready, honey?

We have to go. Turn that off.

- Tomatoes? Yes? No?
- Yes please.

I've made you a big lunch.

Let's see.

It'll be fine.

- What will be fine?
- It's Dad's first day in court.

- Haven't you tried that tons of times?
- Yes, but...

There you go.

Get a move on, sweetie.

journalist

My little prince, we have guests.

It's time to come and meet them.

There...

We have guests.

Your grandfather has come
to say hello.

Your grandfather.

Say hi to your granddad.

Hello there, little one.
Hi there.

- Help yourself.
- Thank you.

- It's good to see you.
- And you.

Kim was a talented journalist.

She was dedicated to talk -

- about the injustice and the beauty
of the world.

She wanted to prove that
a girl from little Trelleborg -

- can grow up and make a difference
in a media world dominated by men -

- and help other people learn
about themselves -

- and about others
by telling stories -

- from all over the world.

She wanted to show that we can do
what we want with our lives.

And thereby we have a responsibility.

That's also what I've learned from her.

That I'm much stronger
than I think I am.

And it's my duty to keep fighting.

Life is yours.

Make sure it's a good life.
A rich life.

A beautiful life.
An inquisitive life.

Move away from the darkness.

Believe in the light.

My name is Ingrid Wall -

- and Kim Wall is my daughter.
