Jakob, what do you need
to take the case to court?

DAY 119
7TH DECEMBER 2017

A cause of death.

What if we never find it?

Then I'm not sure
I can reject his account.

Are you unsure that he did it?

That's irrelevant.
I'm not handing down the verdict.

But if I can't dispel any reasonable
doubt about his guilt,

then he can't get convicted at all.

In dubio pro reo.

What does that mean?

In dubio pro reo:

All doubt benefits the defendant,

or that any reasonable doubt should
always favour the defendant.

That's what we're up against.

Okay. What reasonable doubt
do you think there is?

We don't know the cause of death.
I can't reject the suspect's account.

Yes, he's given three different
accounts, and he's entitled to that.

The burden of proof lies with us.

And any doubt is to his advantage.

Right, let's take it from the top.

What do we have in our arsenal?
Musa?

Her blood was found in the sub.

Which he explained by confessing to
dismembering the body

before dumping it at sea.

This tells us he tried
to remove evidence.

No.

He dismembered it because he couldn't
get the whole body up the tower.

Isn't that how he explained it?

In any case,
he tried to dispose of the body.

Yes.

But not to conceal anything.
It was to spare her loved ones.

He planned everything.

He brought a saw,
a hose, strips and metal bars.

He tried to lure other women onboard
before she called for an interview.

The saw was there because he was
installing shelves in the submarine.

Metal bars and hoses
are common items in a submarine.

But not all witnesses
agree with that.

But who knows the sub the best?

The person who looks after it or his
more or less random acquaintances?

What about the other women?

It's not illegal
to invite people sailing.

Okay, we found video
and images on his computer,

which indicate a fascination with
impalement, decapitation

and violent pornography.

He even watched a snuff video
of a woman being decapitated

hours before they departed.

You're making assumptions.

He searched for the video, but we
can't prove that he watched it.

Besides, watching or being fascinated
by violent porn is not illegal.

It's distasteful but not illegal.

Come on, Jakob!

We all know he killed her, cut her up
and dumped her at sea.

Yes, we know.
And we know that he planned it.

And that there's a sex crime
on top of it.

But can we prove it?

We'll get the result of the mental
health check in a couple of days.

If it works in our favour and casts
doubt on his mental health,

then our position
will be a little better.

And we're awaiting the report
from the Institute of Technology

about the technical issues raised
by his latest account.

Is death by carbon monoxide poisoning
technically possible?

Would it have generated heat, which
could be detected on the body parts?

But the crucial question is

whether the coroner establishes
the cause of death of soon.

In dubio pro reo.

We have to dispel
all reasonable doubt.

THE INVESTIGATION

Hi.

You're late.

Any news?

We're still waiting for
the coroner's report.

Okay.

I don't bloody know what to do
if it's inconclusive.

No.

Here. Have some wine.

Enjoy the wait.

I hate waiting.

Yes, you hate waiting.

What have you got there?

Everything I could get on the case.

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

-All of it?
-Yeah.

The lot.

Until I find what we've overlooked.

Why do you think
we overlooked anything?

Because...

Because this isn't the perfect crime.

It's a clumsy, disgusting crime.

So we must have overlooked something.

What about you?

Are you going home
or are you going to help me?

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

DAY 123
11TH DECEMBER 2017

Nikolaj?

By email? Well, what does it say?

You're joking.

I'll print it out and read it now.

What's going on?

The coroner couldn't establish
the cause of death.

What now?

I don't know.

Did you read it?

Yeah.

What shall we do?

I'm going to see Jakob.

They're not drawing any conclusions.

All sub-conclusions
point the same way.

I'm not a medic,
so I don't understand half of it,

but they're obviously not very sure.

Where does this put us?

Not having a cause of death?

It's not good.

What now?

Let's read it closely
and see if we can find a way.

But right now I don't even know
if we have enough

to charge him with manslaughter.

I have to be back in court
in a minute.

We must get them to specify
some things in their report.

Klaus?

Jens, I'm on my lunch break.

Eat away, I don't mind.

I don't understand why
you didn't draw any conclusions.

We drew lots of conclusions.

-But no cause of death.
-No.

Because we can't establish it.

We both know that he killed her.

He dismembered her
and dumped her at sea.

I'm a pathologist, I can't conclude
something because you need me to.

I have to be 100 percent sure,
no more and no less.

What do you want me to say?

That you'll take another look.

Send an email with follow-up
questions and we'll take a look.

DAY 126
14TH DECEMBER 2017

"On the whole, he appears perverted
and very sexually deviant.

The deviant personality
and deviant sexuality in combination

make him a danger to the life, bodily
integrity and liberty of others."

-Is it the psychiatric statement?
-Yeah.

-He's clearly deviant.
-Yeah.

Which isn't illegal.

It may sound good, but it's far from
manna from heaven.

But it's very incriminating.

It is, but it can't stand on its own.

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

If we can get a cause of death,
it's beginning to pull together.

But we need a cause of death
to underpin our hypothesis.

The report from
the Institute of Technology is in.

And it doesn't conclude
that this happened,

but it's not inconceivable that
strong heat could have been generated

in the sub, and in that case
the hatch would have been stuck.

So it doesn't rule out
the suspect's account?

No.

We've come no further, then.

What do we do?

I don't know.

What about the mobiles?
Is that an option?

LM says we probably won't find them.

And the salt water will probably have
destroyed the phones and SIM cards.

Then our only chance is establishment
of a cause of death

that indicates murder
by decapitation.

When are you seeing the parents?

Later on today.

Thanks for coming in.

But of course.

I asked you to come, so that I could
update you on the investigation.

And I promised to share
all information with you.

So I owe it to you to let you know

that the report from
the Institute of Technology

cannot completely rule out
his latest account.

Right.

Moreover, the divers think it's
nearly impossible to find the phones.

They're buried
under sand and seaweed.

Give me the radar tracking
and all your documentation.

Then I'll keep looking.

I can't do that, Joachim.

Jens...

She recorded all her interviews
on her phone.

I know.

All of them!

And we'll find it.

Then we'll find out what happened.

The prosecutor doesn't think phones
will figure in the indictment.

Any recordings will probably
have been destroyed.

I don't understand why you don't
just start the legal proceedings.

I know that it looks simple.

Unfortunately it isn't.

He's made explanations,
which we can't yet reject.

Why don't you just keep diving?

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

-Do you understand?
-I do.

But what if we never find them?

Without a cause of death,

I'm not even sure I can get him
convicted for manslaughter.

Hello?

Hello, Klaus.

Klaus, I'm in the car park.
May I call you back?

Thanks.

Klaus speaking.

Hi, it's Jens Møller.
What have you got?

Listen, Jens.

I thought I'd save us the time
and tell it to you straight

before we submit the report.

What do you have to tell me?

We've corrected the text.

We've added that we cannot rule out
decapitation or strangulation

as the cause of death.

That's as close as we can get.

You still don't draw any conclusions.

We're concluding as much as we can.

We just can't conclude
what the cause of death was.

Jens, fucking hell,
see it from where I sit.

Yeah!

Yes!

Yes!

Jens?

There's something you have to see.

She was alive when she texted
her boyfriend at 20:25 hours.

They dive and come up again
at 23:24.

We know because the suspect
texted his wife.

Since there's no activity
on the victim's phone,

we must assume
that she's already dead by this time.

And now it gets interesting.

Because the coroner's report...

regarding the torso...

They were able to conclude about two
of the stab wounds on the torso.

According to the report they were
inflicted before or just after death.

They conclude so
from blood effusion in the tissue,

which presupposes
blood circulation in the body.

But...

In the latest interrogation,
the suspect said

that the victim died of
carbon monoxide poisoning

when accidentally locked in the sub,

and after several hours and many
attempts to get her out intact,

the suspect found it necessary to
dismember the body

and dispose of it in the sea
piece by piece.

Don't you see it?

The coroners say the wounds
were inflicted

before or immediately after
the time of death.

But the suspect says he sailed around
with the dead body for hours

before he did anything.

"Before or immediately after..."

What does it mean?
"Immediately after?"

Is it hours, minutes or seconds?

They're not there yet.

-Where are you going?
-Forensics.

There he is. Stay here.

Klaus?

For fuck's sake!

Jens, I'm not even at work yet.

Don't worry. I just have a question.

You have two minutes.

When it says a wound was inflicted
before or immediately after death...?

Yeah?

What does it mean?

I'm happy to elaborate by email.

What does "immediately after" imply?

It's difficult to say precisely.

Seconds?

Minutes? Hours?

Leaving Christmas decoration making
is unpopular in my kids' school,

so this'd better be fucking good.

Take a seat.
Would you like coffee?

No thanks.

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

Will you begin?

Early this morning I found something
that turned out very interesting.

The suspect said
the stab wounds on the torso

were inflicted
when dismembering the body.

And that this happened hours after
the victim's accidental death.

Yes, but...

Although the coroner's report is
inadequate in many ways,

a couple of details
caught my attention.

One of the report's
few actual conclusions is

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

There.

What does
"immediately after" signify?

Less than an hour.

Probably minutes.

Okay.

And the Technological Institute
report concludes

that if his story about engine
failure and carbon monoxide is true,

there would have been tremendous heat
inside the submarine.

But the coroner could not find any
effects of heat on the body parts.

Before or immediately after,
missing effects of heat,

and they can't rule out decapitation.

We've got it.

The doubt is no longer reasonable.

It's Jakob. Christmas is cancelled.

We have an indictment to draft.

London? Okay.

Come home then.
Don't they have airports in London?

Jakob, we're getting the last bits
done and it's officially your case.

Okay. I got an idea.

What if it's an aggravating factor

that the victim was carrying out
her work as a journalist?

Why is it aggravating?

It's because she only went with him
in the line of duty as a journalist.

She wanted to tell his story.

And by doing so, she was performing
a socially beneficial function.

And he exploited that.

The more I think about it,
the more aggravating it looks.

The prosecutor will publicly disclose
the indictment later today.

This is above all thanks to your
hard, thorough and stubborn work.

Thanks a lot for your effort.

Thank you for your trust.

Thanks, folks.

Why do you sound like
you're going to retire?

You hear what you want to hear.

That's what I had to say.
Have a nice day.

Do you know how many murder cases
I've been involved in?

138.

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

We seem not to get enough of it.

I saw a tabloid placard.

They're selling a story about how
the suspect celebrates Christmas.

There are 50 murders
a year in Denmark.

More or less.

The lowest number ever.

It just doesn't feel that way.

Because we hear about all of them.

Maybe it's that...

the more civilised we become, the
more we need to peer into the dark.

Welcome, everybody,

to this press briefing
at Copenhagen Police Headquarters

on the occasion of the indictment
in the submarine case.

How long a sentence
do you think he'll get?

It's difficult to tell,

but if he's found guilty,
we're going for life in prison

or psychiatric custody.

Have you decided
to come to court or not?

How could we not go?

I don't know exactly
how it's going to be,

but it can be very gruesome to see,
so be prepared.

All details will be disclosed.

And there will be press attention
like never before.

We're still her parents
and of course we want to be there.

Yeah.

How's your daughter?
Isn't she having a baby soon?

Yeah, she could give birth
any minute.

-Is she doing alright?
-Yes.

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

That's one of the best things
you can be.

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

I wish you'd never met me.

How did it go?

-It went well.
-Great.

Look.

Everything's black and white.

But even if the colours
are gone now...

...they're still there.

But we can't see them
until the sun shines again.

Are you ready?

DAY 210
8TH MARCH 2018

We have to leave now.
It's time to turn that off.

-Tomatoes? Yes or no?
-Yes, please.

Yes, please.

You're going to get quite a packed
lunch today, I say.

It'll be fine.

What will be fine?

It's Dad's first day in court today.

-Haven't you done it loads of times?
-Yeah, but...

Got your bag?

-There.
-There you go. Alright.

Come on.

ON THE 25TH OF APRIL 2018,
THE PERPETRATOR WAS FOUND GUILTY

AND SENTENCED TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT.

JAKOB BUCH-JEPSEN
HAD IT PUT ON RECORD

THAT THE MURDER OF KIM IN THE LINE OF
HER JOURNALISTIC DUTIES

WAS AN AGGRAVATING FACTOR.

JOACHIM WALL CONTINUES TO SEARCH
ØRESUND AND KØGE BAY

FOR HIS DAUGHTER'S PHONE.

Sleepy prince, we've got visitors.

We have visitors.
Come and say hello.

Visitors.

Granddad's come to say hello.

It's your granddad.

Down to Granddad.

Hello, my little friend.
Hello there.

-Help yourselves.
-Thanks.

JENS MØLLER RESIGNED AS HEAD OF
HOMICIDE AT COPENHAGEN POLICE IN 2018

AND RETIRED SHORTLY THEREAFTER.

-It was nice to see you.
-Likewise.

WHILE THE INVESTIGATION
WAS STILL ONGOING,

JOACHIM AND INGRID WALL FOUNDED
THE KIM WALL MEMORIAL FUND.

THE FOUNDATION DISBURSES GRANTS
TO YOUNG FEMALE REPORTERS LIKE KIM

WITH A PASSION FOR TELLING THE
STORIES OF THOSE WHO HAVE NO VOICE.

Kim became a great journalist.

She had a passion for reporting on

the injustice
and beauty of our world.

She wanted to prove that a girl
from the outskirts of Trelleborg

could grow up and make a difference
in a male-dominated media landscape

and make people more aware of
themselves and others

by telling stories
from all over the world.

She wanted to show that we can make
our lives the way we want

and that this
gives us responsibility.

That's what she taught me.

I've learnt that I'm stronger
than I thought.

And it's my duty
to carry on the struggle.

You have your lives.

Make sure that it's a good life,
a rich life,

a beautiful and curious life.

Draw away from the darkness.

Believe in the light.

My name is Ingrid Wall
and Kim Wall is my daughter.
