Original subtitles

It's alarm center. - I think something has happened.

What is your name?

There is blood all over, and I can not find her.

Okay. Where are you calling from? - Oh god!

Hello? We must ask for an address. - Anne? Anne?!

There is no one at home. I can not find my wife.

Is there anyone hurt? -I do not know.

Tell me what happened, so I can help you. Hello?

What did I do? - Hello? Remain on the line.

Anne? - Hello?

Hello? - How are you?

Hello? - Anne!

She has 15-20 stab wounds on the torso and throat.

It appears that she was murdered. But she was not killed here.

It appears she was dead when she was strung up.

Get the dog to shut up. - Brix ...

The husband was found in his car down by the highway.

He was covered in blood. - Take him in for questioning.

If he is smeared with blood, we are already halfway there.

It is seven o'clock, Monday 14. November. Here's news.

The Minister of Justice Frode Monberg is in hospital with a heart attack.

His condition is still uncertain.

Parliament will deal with the new terrorism package.

The Prime Minister states Monberg's Absence will not affect the negotiations.

The terrorism package is needed. The threat to Denmark has increased.

The fight against terrorism must be fought to end both here and in Afghanistan.

The suspect in the case of the murder in Mindelunden Park is in custody.

Police provide few details about the murder that occured ten days ago.

But if not charged, the suspect must be released from remand tomorrow.

Anything new? - No.

Good night. - Thanks. Good call.

Hello. My name is Ulrich Strange. I left a message for you -

but I do not think your voice mail is working.

There is coffee in the pot. - Yes please.

I'm an inspector at Police HQ ... - You mean sargeant, right?

No, it's only the title that has changed after the last police reorginisation.

There is an issue that we want to talk to you about. Okay ...

About ten days ago a woman was murdered -

under quite unusual circumstances.

I'm just waiting until you're done. - I can hear you.

We have withheld information.

The point is that we imagine that you have read about it.

Who is 'we'? - Brix, your former boss.

He believes you can contribute a new angle.

Lennart Brix? - He wants you to review the file.

I can be in town for lunch, then we can discuss it.

I am no longer dealing with files and suspects anymore.

We think the offender is the victim's husband who's been held since the slaying.

But after 32 hours in custody, we have to let him go.

You'll get paid for the inconvenience. - Yes, that's fine.

Say it is not topical. - Why not?

Brix said I should stress that he needs your help.

And have you done it, right?

I have to go. It's been a long night.

Close the door when you're done ... - Okay.

How is his condition? - Will the minister come back?

I have no comment. We hope his condition improves.

Thanks for your attention.

Won't you sit down. The Prime Minister will be a moment.

Hi, Thomas. How are you? - Fine, thank you.

How's the family? - Yes, everything's fine.

Is there any news? - He is doing well.

But he's not coming back either now or later.

We are relieved that he survived, but it comes at an unfortunate time.

That is clear. - I have chosen you.

You need to get our terrorism package through Parliament.

There'll be a vote next week. Right now it is a mad house.

Our coalition partners are flexing their muscles, and the opposition ...

Sorry. There is something I have to say first.

I am truly honored by your offer. Really.

But I have to say no thanks.

Why? - I do not feel ready.

I am not a lawyer. There must be others who are much better suited.

But maybe in a few years, when I have been here a little longer.

The government has worked hard.

We need someone to get a grip on the proceedings.

For me it is very simple. You have the skills. So you have to do it.

I can nominate anyone from our party, but it's you I need.

If you have no other reasons to reject me, then I ask you again:

Will you be our new Minister of Justice?

Raben, you have a visitor.

He wanted to come here, but there's Colors and Shapes Day in kindergarten.

All the others would be there. - I understand.

I've brought some of his new drawings. Do you see them?

Everything has to do with adventures and role playing for time being.

It is a very important dragon. I can not remember its name -

but it is huge and very dangerous.

He is good at it. - Yesterday we bought the shield & sword.

It was a gift from grandpa.

Otherwise not much has happened.

Shall we ...? - Let's just wait a little.

When is it? - Now. I will be nice and quiet.

I'll have an interview with them, and then they'll evaluate.

It will be alright. The lawyer says I have a good chance.

The superintendent says I have made great progress.

They can not say no this time.

What is it?

He's not in here anymore.

Jonas doesn't want to come here anymore.

I know you want to see him so I tried, but he will not.

It's okay.

It is important not to push him. - I don't push him.

But he is not a small child any longer. He will not talk about you.

I think it's because someone has teased him in kindergarten.

Sorry, honey. Just forget it. I'll figure it out.

We find out.

It will be fine. I promise you.

We will be so much together, we will miss being alone.

Because I snore and slurp -

and put toothpaste on my upper lip.

It is Vibeke Lund. I'm not at home, but please leave a message.

Hi, Mom. I'm getting the train in a couple hours.

And I can only stay until tomorrow, so ... Yes. See you.

She said no. I think she had plenty to do with ferry traffic.

Brix.

It's Strange. - Sarah Lund. Is Brix there?

He is just busy. Can I help? - I'm going to visit my family today.

It is not certain that I have time -

but if he still believes I can help, then ...

So what? - I must run. I'll call you later.

Hello?

38-year-old Thomas Buch has been sworn in as the new Minister of Justice.

The appointment was referred to in political circles as a surprise.

His first task will be to create consensus on the government's terrorism package.

I shook her hand, and she said congratulations on the record.

I'll have to run. I'll talk to you later. Hello.

Karina Munk Jørgensen secretary. Congratulations.

Good afternoon. - Hello.

We fill the second and third floor, and we have 170 employees.

This is the Minister of Justice's office.

The rest of his stuff will soon be moved. - It sounds good.

My predecessor left it? - No. I put it forward.

So the Minister can just read. Carsten Plough, Permanent Secretary.

The reception is ready to begin. - It sounds good.

Could I ask for a status of progress of the negotiations?

It will be a settlement between the Government and the People's Party.

The opposition have rejected it, but you can read up on the file.

Yes. But I'll tell you about my position first. We are at war.

Whether we like it or not kind, it is important to find unity.

Therefore, we have to have a broad national reconciliation.

It has also been tried. Your predecessor had to admit ...

I understand. But it is very important that it succeeds.

Unless there's a problem? - No, of course.

If I may show you the welcome gift from the People's Party.

''Never again 9th April.'' I'm not expert on political messages -

but I don't think they've given up .

Now let's see. - Yes.

But you can discuss it with your personal adviser.

I do not need a counselor. The three of us can handle it together.

Okay. I called the parties together soon as possible.

It sounds lovely. Should we provide snacks?

Don't be naive. The bicycle has evaluated it over the past 15 years.

Every time you think you can pass. - Why don't they just signal?

Don't sit up too much. You'll get it in the ass. Do you understand?

Yes, I understand. See you there.

Superintendant Toft!

Raben! Stop there!

Away from the fence. Away from the fence. - It's okay.

How did it go? - I can not speak about that.

You should talk to your lawyer. - I have no number on my card.

Then you wait. - It's not my fault.

I must call my wife. If it is bad news, I want to hear it now.

This institution has made a positive recommendation. But it doesn't matter.

The Directorate of Prisons will make the decision.

So nothing is certain.

Raben, so it is now!

What did she say exactly? - The doctors think I'm ready.

When's the answer due? - About a week or so.

It depends on the Directorate of Prisons. You must get ahold of Myg.

Wait. I'll go on the right side.

Myg? Why? - He can get me work.

It is something they are looking at. Say it's urgent.

Jonas is here? - He is about to show my father something.

I'll call you as soon as I can. Say goodnight from me, and remember Myg.

I will.

Hello. There is still food. - It sounds good.

How did it go? - We need to send out 200 men.

They can't understand that Material Services works like hell.

Usually you can are good at explaining to them.

Jonas, you have to get into your pajamas. - No, I need to fence with grandpa.

Hurry. Maybe he will read a bedtime story if you're quick.

I've looked at schools, Louise. The Sion Street sounds the best.

And it's not so far away. - That's good. Gravy?

Just a little bit. You better make sure to register on time.

I will check this out, Dad. It is not sure we're staying here.

Why not? The Infirmary wants you to continue.

I need a personnel list with numbers.

It is over on the tray.

I've said, I can move down to the basement. I get it decorated.

That's fine, Dad. We'll see, right?

You think he'll come out now. - They have said it is a possibility.

And what if they are wrong? You've waited over two years.

Both Jonas and yourself are suffering...

He is his father, and I love him.

If you have a problem with that we'll pack our bags right away.

Sorry. The major said that the colonel wanted an update on the armoured cars.

Yes, Bilal. Later. - I want to speak to the colonel.

Yes. Thank you. Later. - Yes.

She came home at 19:32, She disabled the alarm system.

She spoke with her husband ... - Maybe I should wait outside.

Brix is delayed. He asked me to show you around.

The couple is in the middle of a divorce. He had an affair with his secretary.

His wife threw him out one month ago.

She refused to talk to him and even hung up the phone.

Where was his daughter? - With grandma and grandpa.

At 19:41 the woman went online on her laptop here in the kitchen.

She got a glass of wine, checked some housing sites and went to the bathroom.

So she didn't hear the basement window be broken in.

She took a long bath, then she'll come back in her bathrobe to cook.

Was it her routine? Arriving home late, take a bath and eat alone in the kitchen?

It's a hard to know. She lived alone. - Yes.

The offender assaulted her in middle of cooking.

They ended up in this room where he went crazy with a sword.

She was stabbed 21 times. The fatal wound passed through the heart.

She was forcibly put in the chair. This shows the amount of blood.

Have you found cigarette butts? - It is not from a cigarette packet.

Chewing gum? - Yes, maybe.

The husband claims he arrived a little after midnight.

Does he have an alibi? - his girlfriend.

But she is more than ordinary blond.

He drank a lot and went to talk his wife to her senses.

He discovered the break in the basement and went into the road.

He got blood on himself. - Did he have no key?

The wife had the locks and alarms replaced a few weeks earlier.

She was very concerned about security.

She fired the previous alarm company because they were not good enough.

Under the new one, she ordered sensors throughout the garden.

Good to see you.

Should we look at the rest? - Yes this way.

The woman was entitled to half of the man's fortune.

So we aren't lacking a motive. We found her there.

She had nothing to do with Mindelunden Park.

But she was dragged over the fence. There are photos at the back of the file.

Thank you.

The husband is not stupid. We think most of it is a devertion.

Everything points to him.

What are you thinking?

I think there is a mistake here.

I think I'm wasting your time.

I just want to hear your opinion.

Can't I sleep on it? So we'll have a chat tomorrow.

I do not know if I have anything. - If you do, let me know.

If not, then it's fine too. I could still just use your help.

Otherwise I let the guy go free tomorrow morning.

It's Buch. - Karina speaking. I have spoken to the opposition.

They can meet you and the People's Party in the morning.

Fine. I need to read 700-800 pages, so am I up to speed.

Well we'll see you tomorrow. - Wait a minute.

I have a folder with some photos of a dead woman. The Mindelunden Park case.

It is a mistake. I'm sorry. - What has it got to do with the Ministry?

Your predecessor wanted to be updated because of the crime scene.

The police do not believe there is a political motive.

Yes, thanks. See you tomorrow. - Yes.

Hello. - Yes. Good night.

One Islamist association pops up after another.

It is pure scaremongering. - They want to overthrow democracy.

They will reintroduce the Middle Ages. - What about free speech?

The terrorism package ignores the current terrorist threat.

If the People's Party takes too rigid a position, we cannot support you.

I have to go. But you got an insight into the problem.

Congratulations on your appointment. Good luck with your task.

Bye, Agger. - Good day to you, Krabbe.

Nice try. I regret the outcome, but some things have to be said.

We must protect ourselves. Think of London and Madrid.

The opposition is right. Intelligence Service Reports don't support you.

Did you get our little gift yesterday? - Yes thanks.

Since your drop in the polls ...

would a scare campaign land you in a safe place.

My grandfather was in the Resistance. He ended up in Neuengamme.

Make no mistake. It's true what I say. -That does not change anything.

Your proposal is problematic. - Who says it is only a proposal?

What do you mean?

We need each other to get a majority vote. And right now -

As I see it now, you have more need of us than we have for you.

My party supporters want an answer later today.

Is a couple of hours, enough to clear it with the prime minister?

And thanks for coffee.

We'll take a break. About five minutes, until we start again.

Hello.

Give him something to eat, but continue the interrogation immediately.

The cession starts in three hours. We need something more.

Hello. - Hello.

Yes, that's fine. I'm right in the middle of something ... Yes.

So I'll get back to you later, okay? That's good. Bye.

Go ahead.

Deputy Commissioner Director Ruth Hedeby wants to be here.

Sarah Lund. - I've heard a lot about you. Sit down.

Mindelunden Park is a national monument.

It raises speculation that we want to nip in the bud.

But the suspect has an alibi. -We are laying charges today.

so we want to strengthen the case further.

I'm curious if you can help in this matter.

I do not know if I can.

I see no deficiencies in the investigation.

The forensic evidence is conclusive, so ...

But have you any thoughts? - Yes ...

I do not think it's him. Her husband I mean.

Of course it may well have been him but I don't think so.

I think he has nothing to do with it.

It says that the offender acted in a crime of passion.

Yet he dragged the corpse over to Mindelunden Park.

To hinder the investigation. According to forensics he was covered with blood.

I just want to just what Lund has to say if it's okay.

The victim was affraid of the offender. She had been for a while.

Her husband had motive and was manipulative ..

but he was not violent. There are no previous incidents.

And I think -

that the perpetrator wanted to say something about where he left the body.

Yes. What did he say?

What did she do before she got married? - A lot.

Partly educated in the U.S.. NGOs in Africa and Asia.

During certain periods employed by the Army and Amnesty.

What was she doing in the Army? - Military Legal Adviser.

Sent to the Balkans, Iraq, Cyprus, Afghanistan. It was several years ago.

Did she have military contacts? - No.

Aside from a monthly contribution to a veterans' Association.

It was paid by automatic transfer and ... Sorry.

I don't know if I'm right in this.

But if so, then there is something you have not found.

Or there is something missing.

Yes ...

The husband has just confessed.

He confessed to the killing and the removal of the corpse.

Well then ...

Good. Yes.

Lawyers must have a detailed confession to prepare the charge -

so we can have closed this case. Sorry. Thanks for your efforts.

I was just this moment becoming restless.

I'm sorry ... - It's fine.

I would gladly pay for your costs... - No. I wanted to come anyway.

Congratulations.

He will live; he must live high Hurrah

Time to blow out the candles. Are you ready - I need a breath.

Really. Here we go. - Go ahead.

It was nice.

While we are together, Bjørn and I want to share something with you.

It's good news. In a crazy mood Bjørn asked me to marry him -

and I said "yes" so you're all invited.

Congratulations.

It'll be a simple ceremony. I'm not wearing white.

So that's out. Sit down.

Here, Mom. Thanks for the sweater. - I'm sorry about the size.

It makes no difference. I'm just glad you're here.

When do you plan to leave? - Were you not here for an interview?

Grandma said you had a job. -She misunderstood. How are you?

Fine. Dad. Ulla and girls are in Spain a few days.

So I have the house all to myself. - Mark.

Come on, Sarah.

Strange here. - Lund speaking. I can't get hold of Brix.

I'm in the middle of an interrogation. - I know something about the offender.

He is just explaining it. - The plastic wrap I found, no?

He filmed it. Unless you believe -

the husband filmed the assault on his wife, you have the wrong guy.

I just want to see the murder scene again if it's okay.

Raben, you have a visitor.

Raben, you old wanker.

Myg. How are you? - I'm doing fine. Yes, what about you?

Well thanks. I have some books to read as they say.

Sit down. - Yes.

I'm bloody sorry I did not come more often, but I've been busy.

It's okay.

You talked to Louise? - Yes. She called me yesterday.

I do not know if you can use it. A job with a master carpenter.

An ex-sergeant. He talks about the good old days.

He needs a man a few months.

Does he know where I am? - Yes he helps out Association members.

I'll get someone to call him so he can send a leter here.

Thanks, Myg. - Hey ...

-We always help each other? The Association can help with an apartment.

I'll speak to Louise before I go.

Where you going? -I'll be transferred next week.

Louise can call them herself. Barracks life is not for me, right?

Damn too boring. It is time for a change.

Where? - In Helmand. Maybe up north.

It all happened so fast. I gotta go.

The last time you said you wanted out. - I have to go now.

What have you done? No matter what it is, then I can help you, Myg.

You do not know a damn thing.

When we got home, I thought it was all over.

It is not over. Do you understand what I'm saying?

Take care of yourself. Guard, I want out.

Hello. - Hello.

Hello, darling. - He seems okay.

They dropped him from kindergarten, and I brought him up here.

Thanks, Søgaard. - Let me know if I can help.

See you, kid.

Come here.

I know the other kids can be idiots -

but it's no good to fight with them.

You can only fight with dragons. And grandfather.

They said things about Dad.

I'll talk to them.

Is Dad coming home?

Yes, he will.

I just do not quite know when it will be.

I've lost a tooth.

Really? That's a good one. Can I see?

Did it hurt?

Let me give it to dad. I would even give it to him.

Yes. I can try to call and see whether they have a time today.

Well, darling.

Intelligence's latest threat assessment. - It is still with the Prime Minister.

They just get him talking sense. - He has only been here for 24 hours.

That is enough to undermine our government's parliamentary base.

This link can only be opened at 17.03. - The Ministry of Finance.

It's their turn to host the Interdepartmental Friday Get-together.

I thought so too, but they deny it.

Am I disturbing you? - No - The Intelligence Assessment.

What did the prime minister say? - He was not there.

What about the People's Party? - Krabbe is coming up.

Let's go inside.

I found out? - We did, yes.

That sounds good. I'm sorry tone was a little ...

But it is obviously very important. -Certainly, I agree.

But our position is quite clear.

we refuse to compromise ...

on the constitutional protection of democratic principles.

No threat or intimidation by you or by terrorists can change that.

Yes ... If the government wants us to leave the coalition -

then we'll take note of it.

I have to tell the press, of course that the coalition has terminated.

I'm not a historian, but I think only once before...

has a Danish government prohibited an otherwise lawful union.

In 1941 with the communist party.

Back then, however, we were under pressure from the Wehrmacht.

It can not be compared. - I spoke to constitutional experts.

I have enclosed their opinions if you're interested.

Will you be part of a settlement or stand alone with your views -

that have not been heard, since the Nazis were in the country?

Lund, I have not got all night. Why would he film it?

You said the victim was put the chair after the stabbing.

The volume of blood suggests ... - she was placed in the chair ...

And then stabbed?

That doesn't fit a crime of passion. - Who said it was?

Only one stab was so deep that it has struck a vital organ.

Why didn't she defend herself? She had no wounds on her hands.

You think she was bound, he wanted to talk to her -

and only the last stab was fatal.

She was in the process of a divorce. What would anyone ask her about?

What is it?

Military ID tag.

One half is sheared off.

Do you have the address of the veterans' Association, she was a member of?

Did you speak to the Director of Prisons? - I've completed your assessment.

You'll get an answer tomorrow. - I can not wait until tomorrow.

Relax now, dammit.

Hello. I made a phone call. Has the Director seen it?

I don't know. - Raben!

An army buddy visited me. He does not feel well.

I'll call him. - I'll say that it is urgent.

Thank you. - We should talk about something else.

Can I just call first? - No. Let's get it started now.

The Directorate of Prisons has rejected your application.

Normally it takes a long time and they follow our advice, but ....

I've had no justification. -You get it as soon as possible,

I 'm sorry. - Why?

As I said ... - I have followed the treatment.

You may apply again in six months. You should follow your good progress.

Try to listen. I have a young son. -Not so close to the director.

I just have to ... Fuck off!

Raben, quiet, quiet.

You should take it easy. - I am calm. You do not understand.

I am not a psychopath. - Raben, get out of here. Now.

Quiet, quiet!

Calm, calm.

Yes. I'll tell him. Thank you.

The People's Party accepts the revised text with minor modifications.

That sounds good.

You seem not happy.

The Law of 1941 can't be compared to the People's Party proposal.

Next time you approach me and not my lawyers.

You are right. Sorry. - There is something I have to see.

It's Karina Munk Jorgensen. Minister of Justice is delayed.

I just opened the link. - What link?

Hang on in a minute.

It's only just been activated.

IT says it's from hotmail. - Come on, what is it?

It is interesting, but ... - Wait a minute. Here it comes now.

I accuse the hypocritical Danish Government -

and the infidel Danish people of crimes against humanity.

The time has come for Allah's revenge. The Muslim League will revenge the suffering -

Denmark has inflicted on our brothers in Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan.

I declare myself guilty.

My blood will flow, and many will follow me in death.

I have not done anything. I have a little girl ...

The veterans' Association has about 10,000 members.

The secretary of the local one is called Myg Allan Poulsen. He lives at No 46

Wait here. I do not want hassle of the report.

Hello? Is anyone home? Hello?

Hey!

Hey!

Myg Allan Poulsen. Get a description and put out an APB right away.

Get a team out here. I want the house searched. Hey!

Hello!

I told you to stay outside.

Are you deaf or what?
