Original subtitles

-Hess, we're inside. -He's not there, right?

No, it's all empty. Check outdoor areas, the basement,

the roof terrace, and with the neighbors. Find him now!

And Thulin? Has she been there?

There are no signs of her, but we'll check the CCTV footage.

When did we last hear from her?

She insisted on seeing Genz at the forensics centre.

They talked for two hours before she voluntarily went with him to his car.

Then they left.

We found her cell phone in his trash bin at the office.

And the APB on his car?

Nothing. Genz told his assistant he was going to a conference in Esbjerg.

But that and so many other things were lies.

He changed his name to Simon Genz when he was 18 years old.

Has Thulin's family heard from her?

No. I spoke to the grandfather. They were at a school event.

She asked a lot of questions about chestnuts.

Chestnuts?

Something in the apartment has got to indicate where he's gone.

Check the apartment, phone, email, his debit card--

Hess! Everyone's working on it.

We're focusing on the Copenhagen area. Places which Genz has had access to.

Ferries and airports, of course. We're doing everything we can.

I know.

I'll drive to Copenhagen now.

No, I don't think it'll be late.

Well, that's good.

I'll see you later then.

Yes, and remember that today is a good day.

-Yes. -Genz!

See if you can find the owner's phone number.

Genz, are you coming?

The owner's not registered.

It's probably the right type of tree, but I think the place is abandoned.

No, it's not quite abandoned. The camera looks quite new.

And there's a laptop.

-Where'd you get that? -It was under the planter over there.

Police!

Genz, this looks like our tracking equipment.

POLICE

What the hell?

And our photos.

Call Nylander. We need units out here.

There may be traces of Kristine here.

Genz, are you calling?

I'm expecting a guest.

But no more people. There's already too many.

I knew it was risky using the chestnuts from the farm, but…

on the other hand, it had to be them.

Genz…

Tell me you didn't kill all of those people.

-Please tell me you didn't. -I did.

Sometimes you need to see the bigger picture.

-Give me your weapon. -I don't have it. It's in the car.

Lie down.

Show me your hands. Now.

No!

I told you you should have gone home.

I told you.

THE CHESTNUT MAN

So far, the police offer no comment

on the search for social minister Rosa Hartung

which was announced a short while ago.

According to anonymous police sources,

the life of the minister is presumed to be in danger.

Police and intelligence services are using all of their resources

to find the minister.

The search for Rosa Hartung comes just a few days

after the so-called "Chestnut Man" case was finally closed.

The case led to speculation as to whether the minister's daughter,

12-year-old Kristine Hartung, was still alive.

I'm sorry, but can I ask you something?

-Sorry. -A Citroën DS7.

Can I ask you something?

Tell Nylander that the brass wants a briefing ASAP.

Hello? I need to ask you something.

-Sorry, just a sec. -No. No "just a sec."

-You were the ones asking us to come. -I'm so sorry.

Thanks for coming.

Let's go this way.

Did you find anything?

Nothing here of importance to him.

There's the Jessie Kvium action plan and the trace report,

which he must have used to find Rasouli and Skans before we did.

There are some images from CCTV footage.

What of?

One of Thulin and one of you and Thulin.

Boss, you need to see this.

They just handed me a photo of a little girl.

It was used as a bookmark.

-Of Kristine? -No, it's an old photo.

I'm guessing it's his twin sister Astrid.

We're not the only ones he's been surveilling.

There's a frozen image here.

We were unable to re-connect.

-Maybe a kitchen in a cottage? -What do you see?

There are some newspapers on the table.

Which newspapers? Local ones?

German.

-German? -Yes.

Send me everything you've got. We need to check if they drove to Germany.

I'm on it. I've got to go.

Steen Hartung is at the station. I need to talk to him.

Maybe I'll learn something new.

You've reached Naia Thulin.

I can't come to the phone right now.

Is she still not picking up?

No.

But…

She'll call us as soon as she can.

Let's go shopping for dinner.

We're having curried meatballs.

Then we'll go trick or treating with the others.

Listen up, Le.

I'm sure it's just her case delaying her.

Otherwise, she'd be here with you.

She loves you.

Can we call the man with the different colored eyes?

Who's that?

Yes, I received them.

Hello.

Sorry to disturb you. My name's Aksel.

I'm Naia's foster dad and Le's grandpa. I assume you've heard of me.

I have.

I'm here with Le and we're trying to reach her mom.

We haven't been able to, though, so…

We were wondering if you might be able to chat with Le for a minute.

I'll assume you'll think carefully right now.

Great. Thank you.

-Here you go. -Thank you.

-I'm the one who wants to talk to you. -Hi, Le.

It's just that there's something important I want to say to my mom.

She's not picking up. Do you know where she is?

No, not right now, but…

When I see her, I'll tell her that you'll call, okay?

Just tell her it's okay.

What's okay?

Please just tell her it's okay.

That it's okay?

Grandpa says I need to hang up now, so would you give her my message?

Hello?

You know what, Le? I…

I'll find your mom.

Then you can tell her yourself. Is that a deal?

Okay, thanks.

THE CHESTNUT FARM

I don't know anything. The minister's PA, Liv,

said Rosa found the old case and left.

She didn't say a word.

-Where did she go? -What the hell is going on?

Let me show you a picture.

Have you seen this man?

His name is Simon Genz and he's head of forensics.

I haven't seen him before.

What's he got to do with it? Isn't he a policeman?

Does the name Toke Bering mean anything?

-Did Rosa mention a Toke Bering? -I don't know anything.

All I know is that Gustav was standing there with chestnut men

in the living room.

She can't be that hard to find.

-You have towers and surveillance-- -Your wife's phone was switched off.

We can't trace the signal from it.

But I promise that we're doing absolutely everything we can.

I told the Ministry of Justice.

We're working with intelligence services and everyone's looking.

Do you know what she was wearing today?

-Steen. -Dad?

He's asking about Mom's clothes.

What was she wearing?

Mom was wearing…

She was wearing gray trousers.

-The ones she wears at home. -The sweatpants?

-Yes. -And her top?

Brown.

A brown knitted jumper.

-And sneakers. -Thank you.

I'll be back in a sec.

Dad, they found me, remember?

Where is she?

Is she alive?

Come on inside.

Kristine, are you here?

It's Mom.

Kristine, are you here?

I bought the place around the time you popped up in the media.

Kristine, it's Mom.

You'd just been made social minister.

Imagine the irony of that.

There you were, smiling. Speaking for the children.

The good thing is the place is still relatively unchanged.

There's the living room where my foster dad watched sports on TV.

Or whatever he was watching.

The kitchen.

My foster mom spent a lot of time there. It was the family's favorite room.

They were always in there.

That's the bathroom.

My foster mom took a lot of long baths.

She'd had two children, which was rough.

She needed to relax a lot.

You're right. I lied back then. I didn't know what I was doing.

Yes, you did.

-You knew exactly what you were doing. -You're angry at me.

Want to see the dining room?

We hardly ever used it.

Only when we had company. And we have company today.

Go on and take a seat.

Come on, sit down.

You're sitting there.

I'd have invited my sister, but sadly, she couldn't make it.

But Naia could, so…

Toke, please.

Please, where is Kristine?

Let's just do what we did back then.

We'll sit and have a nice time.

We'll chat for a bit and…

You wanted to make a family. Do you remember?

A family.

Here. Have some chestnuts.

Let's see.

That one's nice, and that's nice.

It's important to sort of drill, don't stab it.

So, you killed all those people?

All because of me?

No, I saved those children.

They're much better off now without their useless moms.

Come on.

I don't know what you want.

And I don't care.

Tell me where my daughter is. Tell me!

Or you'll stab me with that?

Then you'll never know where she is.

-Will you? -Tell me!

You're ruining the mood.

Let's sing a song, okay?

You can't sing, of course, but we could sing "Chestnut Man."

Do you remember it?

Look.

Chestnut man

Come on inside Chestnut man

Come on inside…

Do you have some chestnuts

Louder!

For me today?

That's great. Keep going.

Thank you

Again.

Together.

Chestnut man Come on inside

Chestnut man

-Sing it louder. -Inside…

Louder! I can't hear you.

Do you have some chestnuts…

She's good, right?

Surprisingly good. Where the hell did that go?

Calm down.

Let me show you where my sister and I lived.

-Nylander. -What's up?

-Did you find it? -Find what?

The house. With the German newspapers.

We can't find it. We have no leads to follow.

Where are you?

I'm still on Møn.

I had an idea, but now I can't find the bloody place.

What place?

I'll call you in a minute.

Hess.

Hess!

I owe you a great deal of thanks.

If it weren't for you, I'd never have found my calling.

So,

there's always a silver lining, right?

Don't worry, you're the last one, Rosa. I'll do my very best with you.

My best piece of advice is to relax as much as you can.

Remember that all of this serves a higher purpose.

Yes. Is something wrong?

I can't talk right now. I'll call you back later.

Well, that sounds great. Sure. Bye.

Let's start on the first one.

Thulin!

How did you find this place?

Tell me!

The bookmark. Your sister by the chestnut tree.

My bookmark?

Who else knows where you are?

Nobody.

That's right. Nylander knows.

I forgot about that.

-How far away are the local police? -At least 10-12 minutes.

Genz, you're not getting away with it. Everybody knows who you are.

Thulin has nothing to do with it. She's innocent.

And I don't give a shit what Rosa did back then.

It's not her fault you ended up here.

-Isn't it? -She was just a kid!

She was… You misunderstand everything.

-It was her fault. -She was just a child.

Shut your mouth! You don't understand anything.

She was a kid.

Just a child!

Didn't your wife and daughter burn to death?

Why don't you join them?

Come on.

Come on.

Fuck!

Kristine… I heard him on the phone.

Genz!

Move to the corner!

Come on!

Come on, goddammit!

Come on!

Come over here!

Rosa, come on.

Come.

Push! Hold it above your heart. I'll be back.

I'm a bit disappointed in you, Naia.

You should acknowledge what I've done

rather than try to constantly stop me.

Do you hear me?

But now, it's all done.

The story of the Chestnut Man will live on for years to come.

I just need to figure out what to do with you first.

You have Le, and she needs a mother.

Shut up!

Calm down.

Forget it. Give me one good reason not to give Le a much better life.

Genz!

Come on out!

Genz, get out of the car!

Hess!

Try to… You're touching… What the fuck?

Don't move.

Okay. Where's Rosa?

She's safe and looking forward to finding out

what you did with her daughter.

-No. -Yes.

Your saw cuts more than bones, you sick bastard.

Genz, it's over.

-Shut up. -Come on out with your hands up!

Shut up!

Thulin?

Come here.

Okay.

Come here.

I've got you.

Okay.

Okay.

I've got you.

Where is he?

Where is he?

Genz…

Genz.

Where's Kristine?

Genz, where's Kristine?

-Tell us where she is. -Genz, come on.

Where's Kristine?

Hello?

Hello, Toke? Are you there?

I don't like this.

You promised you'd call as soon…

The police were shocked to discover that 44-year-old Simon Genz

was the murderer and the so-called "Chestnut Man."

Genz, who was killed by the police when they attempted to arrest him yesterday,

had been head of the forensics centre.

He also investigated the murders he himself had committed.

Police are now investigating whether Genz was also behind the presumed murder

of social minister Rosa Hartung's daughter Kristine,

who disappeared a year ago.

Rosa Hartung was discharged from the hospital this morning…

Are you cold? Do you want me to turn up the heat?

No, I'm fine. Thanks.

Nylander will brief us when we get there.

He's speaking to the German police.

So…

You do know that it's highly unlikely that she's alive.

If we find her at all.

What's the word?

The call made to Genz' phone last night was linked to a tower

an hour from the ferry, close to the Polish border.

They've found the house down there and set up road blocks.

-What kind of place is it? -We know it's close to a village.

A couple of witnesses recognized the description of Genz' car.

He visited often this past year.

So, ever since he bought the house for his sister.

They insisted.

When I refused, the minister of justice called me.

Do we know if she--

Nobody's seen a child near the house.

Most witnesses say the sister lives there alone.

We know that Genz was surveilling her.

…and campsite. Here's the weather report.

Tomorrow's weather will be mixed, clearing up on Wednesday and Thursday

with sunny, dry weather. The weather is brought to you by…

Hello.

Did you report water damage?

I don't speak German.

Astrid Bering?

Let me go!

Don't move!

-Let me go. -Don't move!

Let me go.

Let her go. She can't breathe.

Astrid, where's Kristine?

-Is he dead? -Yes.

Where's Kristine?

Tell her parents I did what I could.

Downstairs.

It's locked.

What's happening?

Steen, I can't take it. I think we should leave now.

-Unlock the car. -Honey.

-Honey. -I can feel something's wrong.

I want to go home.

-Good morning. -Mom.

The management agreement is signed, and everything's ready.

So? Do you want me to tear it up?

Yes, please.

Would you look after this for me?

Of course.

I promised Le not to talk about work at home,

so Aksel ended up taking the phone from me

and telling my new boss that if it was so goddamn important

he could write an email.

Wow.

How about you? You're off to Budapest and then what?

It's Bucharest. Straight to a hotel room,

then briefings and meetings during the week.

We need to close a case, and then a new case will be waiting.

-Well. -Yes.

-Safe travels. -Thanks. We…

See you.

I was wondering if…

What the hell are you doing?

-We… -See you.

Safe travels.

Thank you.

I forgot to give you something.

It's from Le.

From Le?

-Tell her I said thank you. -I will.

Bye.

Next week, I'll contact the authorities about a compensation claim.

In light of all the time you served for a crime you didn't commit,

we should be looking at a considerable amount.

Let's wait and see.

Justice will be served.

Congratulations.

You're free to go.
