Almost all murders are about love.

In fact, half of all murders are committed by the spouse or partner.

And the motive is almost always jealousy and passion.

That is why I never believed the theory of an accidental hit-and-run.

I think he sat there, Christian, in the dark and the rain,

waiting for his wife, Leonora.

They warn you against all kinds of things. Smoking, alcohol.

But never against the greatest danger of them all.

I mean, love should come with a written warning.

"Love kills."

But it was never proven?

Was he ever convicted for running her over?

No. And that was my fault.

No! You've solved so many cases, Dad.

But this one still haunts me.

Perhaps it was an accident. You can't be certain, can you?

Three nights before she was run over.

At 3:55 a.m.,

Christian received a text message.

Who is it?

It's just work.

Who from your work messages at four in the morning?

It was Peter.

Okay?

Can we go back to sleep?

-Can I see your phone? -Turn that off.

-Are you serious? -Yes.

You want to check my text messages?

No. I just want to know who's sending you messages at this hour.

-I don't want you to. -Why not?

-Because-- -You're seeing someone else?

-What? No. Hey, what's going on? -Why the hell are you acting so guilty?

I'm…

I'm sleeping, Leonora. You'll wake up Johan.

Then show it to me.

-No. -Why not?

Because… It's a matter of principle.

We have to trust each other. We've always said that.

Well, right now I don't trust you.

Well, you're going to have to.

Show it to me.

-I can't. -Why not?

Because it's Peter, okay?

He's seeing someone.

It's about her. And I promised him… I swore that it would be our secret.

-Now you've told me. -Yes. Thanks a lot.

Then you can show it to me.

It says the name of the woman he's seeing. You know her too.

I don't care who Peter is fucking.

Show it to me.

What are you-- Hey! Would you… Stop. Let go!

Christian trained as a handyman, but then studied to become an engineer.

He and his friend, Peter, founded a construction company,

which quickly became very successful.

As a young woman, Leonora was a very talented musician.

She had won several competitions as a violinist

and was accepted to the Royal Academy of Music.

But she had to abandon her career when their son, Johan, became gravely ill.

He fought for his life for years, but was finally getting better.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

Fourteen point two kilometers.

My hair, Mom.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Dad, are you driving me?

Yes, if you help me with the midsummer bonfire later.

-Forget it. I'll take the bus. -Hey, dude. Help your old man out.

Well…

I'll drive you, baby.

Would you? I've a lot on my plate today. Thanks.

Sorry about last night.

No, I was being stupid.

Want me to get it fixed?

-No, never mind. It was old. -I have to wash the car anyway.

The phone store is right next to the car wash. I might as well get it fixed.

-Mom, let's go. -Yes.

It's cool. I'll throw it out.

Thanks.

Okay.

Midsummer Eve is approaching,

and we're the only country to burn witches at midsummer,

but why do we have this tradition?

We'll discuss that after the news.

Mom, can we pick up Martha?

Who's Martha?

Just someone from school.

Oh.

Martha.

Yes.

-Hi. -Hi.

Good morning.

-Good to see you. -You too.

KOLIBRI ARCHITECTS BUILDING TEACHERS' COLLEGE

-Morning, boss. -Morning! Morning, Steen.

-Nice work on the units yesterday. -Thank you!

No, thank you!

-Good morning. -Good morning.

-Has Xenia come in? -Yes. She's over there somewhere.

Christian?

The taxman wants to see our accounts.

-Is that cool? -Yes, I hope so.

How far back?

The accountant says it's a routine check. Random computer selection.

Then why tell me?

We agreed if something important came up, we--

-Routine's not important, is it? -How long have we known each other?

Trust me.

See you tonight.

-Are you giving the speech? -I'm not gonna let you do it.

Hello? Yes. Thanks for calling. The thing is…

Hi.

Hi.

Do I look tired?

You are…

the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.

You are.

The birds woke me up at four.

-Yeah, I guessed. -Did I wake you?

And not just me.

It caused this huge fight.

Didn't you read my messages?

No, I didn't have time.

You didn't have time?

What did you write?

What did she write?

That Christian should make up his mind

before they met.

If he wanted her?

Her or his wife.

An ultimatum.

-Who did he choose? -That's pure guesswork on my part.

When I saw you, smiling at me, I thought you'd made up your mind.

You didn't even read what I wrote.

I have made up my mind. It's just a matter of timing.

You've said that for six months.

-Johan is just getting better. -Yes.

Soon, he won't need that last crutch.

-And he and your wife need you. -I have to be there for him, yes.

He's my son. But that has nothing to do with you.

-Don't toy with me, Christian. -I've never loved anyone like I love you.

If you don't act, those are just words!

I mean what I wrote to you last night.

I want to have kids. I want it all.

Me too.

But the time has to be right.

Hey!

We could be so fucking great together.

-One gold wash, please. -Shall I put 100 kroner on a card?

I just want a gold wash for 79 kroner, please.

The account cards start at 100.

If you deposit 300, you get a 20 percent discount on all washes.

-Can't I just buy a gold wash? -But we only sell the cards.

In that case, a gold wash doesn't cost 79. It costs 100.

Well, you keep the card. Next time you come here, you put some more--

Next time, there's 21 kroner left which I can't use to wash my car.

Then you deposit more money.

With a 100 kroner minimum?

Yes.

That makes it 121 kroner. After the next wash, that leaves 42 kroner.

-Let me deposit 200. -Fine.

-Here you go. -Thanks.

If you only knew where people drop their phones…

Sewers, toilets. You name it.

Yes, I dropped mine when I went for a swim.

I had some important messages I hadn't read yet. I don't know…

I can still get them to read them, right?

Yes, I think we can recover them. Just give me a moment.

Let me see…

Yes… I have a Christian Holm registered.

Are you sure it's the right number?

KOLIBRI ARCHITECTS SINGLE

-Hello? -Yes, that's my husband.

He bought me the subscription.

Okay. Yes. Listen… I'm afraid I'm not allowed to do that.

You have to--

Hello?

I'm up here.

Where's Johan?

He's at Martha's place.

-Martha? -Yes.

That's new, right?

Remember when we were that age?

You were barely 20.

Will you zip me up?

Done.

Hasn't it been a while?

I need to take a shower before we go. I promised Peter I'd be there early.

You know what he's like.

Thank you. Friends, business partners, assholes…

Listen…

I'm so sure of this.

The world needs to change.

We need to live in a new and different way if there is to be a world in 50 years.

Those changes must come from all possible and impossible places.

And in our case it was Xenia

who convinced Peter and m that the teachers' college we're building,

of course, has to be self-sufficient using carbon-neutral energy.

All the materials used return to nature, once we're done using the building.

That sort of vision takes courage.

It takes a special mindset to be so visionary and innovative.

And Xenia, you possess that mindset

like no one I have ever met.

Come on. Come and take a bow.

Xenia Mikkelsen, ladies and gentlemen, our star architect.

Thank you, everybody.

-Cheers. -Cheers. Let's have a great evening.

Okay.

Are you okay?

What's wrong?

I'm just tired.

It's looking good, right?

-It's good, right? -Yes.

-Are you okay? -Yeah, I just didn't get much sleep.

Well, that's just your age. I know that feeling.

So, Kim, back when you and Anette got divorced…

How did you tell her?

Have you met someone?

-No. It's not like that. -Christ! No, neither had I…

Is what I told her. But it's not a fun thing to do.

It's a tough thing to say. But they're better off.

The women. Really.

Everyone's better off leaving a dead relationship.

-And Anette? -Well, she's doing great now.

She's… It's… She's taking some sort of further education.

If you need a new start, my advice to you is to tell her.

Straight up.

The sooner the better.

And it's not easy at first.

But then it gets better, right?

It gets really good.

When I finally told her…

For two years, when I came home from work, I was like this: "Yes! I'm free!"

It was totally awesome. It was like this: "Yeah! Freedom! Thank you!"

-Shut up. -But it's true.

-You're an idiot. You're so stupid. -Well…

Leonora…

I need… some time to think. I think.

I've had a lot on my plate for the last few years. I've…

Sort of lost myself a bit.

Do you understand?

You've said you've been frustrated too.

That we don't spend time together…

Johan's illness demanded a lot of attention.

Is there someone else?

That's not the point. This is about us.

I can't see myself as a part of this anymore.

There's no one else?

No.

I saw you yesterday, Christian.

In Peter's office.

I saw how you…

She looked me straight in the eye.

What kind of person does that?

I'm… really…

Leonora, I'm sorry.

-I didn't mean to… -You didn't mean to?

To bring your wife to a party and fuck your mistress?

How long has it been?

I don't want to hurt you.

Leonora…

I never wanted to.

You do know I can get busted for the financial scam you pulled

even if you run off with her?

I spoke to our lawyer today. I can go down as an accomplice.

Unless I go to the police now and report you for fraud.

Wait. You're…

I did what I had to do to save our son.

Are you completely insane?

Are you?

He'd have died, if he hadn't had the surgeries in the US.

I kept suggesting we could take a loan.

-We couldn't. -I could have started working again.

I told you. Even 15 years ago, when I could have continued my career.

Your career? Okay.

It wouldn't have been enough, Leonora. And who would've looked after Johan?

Yes! I wonder who! Could you perhaps have done that?

No! Because I had to earn the money. We made a deal.

Exactly. We made a deal.

And I sacrificed my career for that deal.

You worked and I took care of Johan. We did what we needed to do. Together!

Where does that leave me now?

You can do so much. You…

You can teach.

Teach?

You have no fucking clue.

I can't even be a substitute.

A violinist at my age who hasn't played for 20 years.

I gave up everything!

Now you're feeling sorry for yourself

because you're in love and want to abandon everything.

I have to think about myself.

What do you mean?

I'm going to the police. I have to.

And tell them what? We did it for our son. Together!

I'm not stopping you.

But I'm not going to go down like Kim's wife did.

Guess where she's working?

In a fucking supermarket.

That's not happening to me. Not after all I've sacrificed.

I've sacrificed as well!

I've worked non-stop. I donated my bone marrow to Johan!

You laid on a table for two hours.

-I could have been crippled. -Is that your narrative?

That you sacrificed yourself because some brochure said

there was 1% risk of complications?

I've stood by that boy's side and shared his every breath since he was born.

And now I stand as an accomplice to a crime that'll make you rich!

Hey. Is this about money?

-Because we can arrange-- -No. It's not about money.

It's about the deal we made.

A pact. You and me and Johan. We were together.

We all gave up something for that deal.

One of the thing we gave up was the option to leave.

If you leave now, I'll be thinking only of myself.

That's all. I don't do it to punish you.

I wonder if Xenia will love you after five years in jail.

I just need to understand the question.

-I'm nervous. -Nervous? Isn't it a bit late for that?

We'll tell them it was a mistake that we just discovered.

-A mistake? -Yes. It's easily done.

-Then we discover it-- -No. We broke the law.

We manipulated the exchange rate and made a fortune.

Will you just find out if we can pay it back?

I'll pay your share.

Who the hell are we going to pay it back to?

We pressed the rate to make a profit. We didn't rob anyone.

It is always better to turn yourself in.

-You were the one who needed the money. -And you didn't object, did you?

Sorry.

-Is something else going on? -No.

We're not doing anything. We're gonna keep our mouths shut, okay?

Yes.

Christian?

Okay.

What's happening with you and me?

I've told her.

It's done.

So, it's you and me?

Of course it is.

You and me.

Christian, I know it's a difficult time.

Could I ask you for something? A small favor?

Yes, of course.

My mom is in town today with her boyfriend.

She's not here often.

I'd really like you to meet her.

Today?

Would you?

Yes, of course.

I love you.

And I love you.

It'll be a great bonfire, right?

It's much bigger than the one Per and those guys had last year.

-Christian? -What?

-The bonfire. -Yes.

Has it gone to shit at home?

Well, things are not good. Things are not good.

Leonora, she…

She won't let me go.

It's not up to her, is it?

She's knows stuff.

Do you mean threats?

-That happened to me too. -What did you do?

I actually did nothing. She went to see some of her old friends.

They supported her, talked to her.

Made her believe in a new and better life without me.

But Leonora hardly knows anyone.

-Johan's taken up of all her time. -There must be someone you can call?

Leonora doesn't want to talk to anyone.

But you can't both leave her and also be her shoulder to cry on.

Find an old friend of hers. Someone to support her.

Dad, how do you know Leonora followed him?

We can tell by the cell phone towers.

We can see they were driving their own cars.

One behind the other.

And Christian drove to town to track down Leonora's old friend, Kassandra.

Oh my God.

I hardly recognized you. How many years is it?

-I'm not even sure. -Was it at the christening?

-How old is Johan? -He'll be 18. Graduates tomorrow.

It's crazy. 18 years!

Haven't you talked to Leonora since then?

Not a word. Best friends, and then suddenly nothing.

Leonora has always been completely…

either or.

-Either you were in, or you were out. -Yeah.

She's not the type you just leave.

In what way?

She had a boyfriend way back.

Mike.

-Did she tell you about him? -Mike? No, I don't think so.

It's just that…

He died.

Okay…

It was a really sad story where we grew up.

No, she never told me.

It was a terrible story.

He fell off a cliff.

Died instantly.

I don't know much. I wasn't there.

-But they were dating? -Yes. They were an item. And then…

They said he was leaving Leonora.

That he was with another girl that night.

Who are "they"?

You know… Rumors. It was a small town.

Okay, and how does the rumor go?

That Leonora pushed him…

Well, that's completely crazy.

Yes.

Listen…

The man I married,

had kids with…

It turned out he was in love with another woman for 12 years.

She was married too.

They had a kind of…

a secret marriage.

I knew nothing.

We fall in love. We marry…

But we knew nothing.

I had some good advice when I got divorced.

Divorce is a business transaction.

Money, house, kids.

And the other side of the deal.

The threats, the disclosures.

Who says what to the kids?

Who's at fault?

It's best to have something to bargain with.

What was the name of the girl Mike was seeing?

Hello?

Hi, it's Sonja.

Sonja. Thanks for calling.

-I only have a few minutes. -That's fine.

Kassandra said you maybe saw someone when Mike died?

-Can you tell me about it? -It was mainly a feeling, you know?

A feeling.

Okay.

But can you tell me what happened?

Well, we…

We had a party out there.

And then Mike and I, we… You know…

-Yes, you had a thing? -Yes. We were very much in love.

Where are you going?

-Mike. -What?

What did you see?

I don't know for sure,

but I felt like someone was watching us.

Did you see Leonora?

Maybe.

I will never forget that scream.

But did you see her? Yes or no?

Yes.

I was so certain.

That evening.

It was Leonora.

Did you tell the police back then?

Sonja had told the police everything.

I reviewed it all.

-What did the police report say? -That Leonora was questioned.

That she and Mike had sort of broken up.

In one interview, Sonja said she saw Leonora.

In the next, she wasn't sure.

But Leonora had been practicing all evening at the academy.

The music tutor was questioned.

They found nothing.

Leonora's alibi checked out.

Sorry.

Yes.

Yes, let's drink to that.

Are you off for a run?

Pack your stuff.

I want you out.

Fine. But you're not reporting me to the police.

Right?

Leonora, I talked to your old friend.

Kassandra.

She told me about your old boyfriend.

Mike.

She said…

he wanted to leave you because he had met someone else.

Sonja.

But then…

he suddenly died.

They say you killed him.

That no one can leave you.

You're totally nuts.

-Can't you hear it? -I'm not saying… It's just…

I think you need someone to talk to, Leonora.

I think you need help.

You're the one fucking someone else

and then you show up with an old urban legend

about me killing my boyfriend?

That's called demonizing.

You're the one who needs help.

Are you packing then?

I can't. Not if you're reporting me to the police.

If you want to stay, you must end it with her.

Call her now.

I want to hear it.

Fine. Right.

Then I'll call the police.

You don't get to cheat on me and then drag me down.

Leonora, stop. Please stop?

Why do you want this?

Why do you want me when I am saying to you that…

I love her?

You really think it's all about you?

It's about something bigger, something you've forgotten that matters.

Family.

So for the last time, either you call her to end it,

or I'll call the police.

Then Xenia can visit you in jail as much as she wants.

Leonora…

I beg you.

Then do it!

Hi, Christian.

My mom loved you.

Hi, Xenia. -I can barely hear you.

Hey.

-Christian? Are you there? -I'm…

Christian? Are you there?

I can't.

I know. I know it's not fair to you.

But…

But I love her.

I've never loved anyone like her.

-Get out. Out. -I'm not…

-Let go! -Get out.

-Calm down, Leonora. -Get out! You're leaving now!

-Get out! -Calm down.

-Get out! -Leonora! Think of Johan.

What about him?

He'll never talk to you again. Never!

Whose side do you think he'll be on?

Out!

Here! We're swapping cars.

From now on it's my Mercedes. My house! And my son!

All animals are the same.

When it has no other options,

when it is cornered,

it will attack.

I think he went to the office first.

Left his cell phone there. Made sure the cleaners saw him.

Things like that.

That seems very calculated for a crime of passion.

Some people can do it.

Even if they are desperate and have lost it all,

they manage to keep a cool head. It's a survival mechanism.

An instinct. When all your feelings are suspended,

except one…

Hatred.

CAR WASH

Fucking bitch.

Hey, Dad.

Hey. You're home?

Yes. Final exam tomorrow.

Is it?

Yeah. Are you okay?

Yeah, of course.

I should be asking you that. Final exam and all.

Then you get

to put your cap on and all that?

Yes.

Have you seen Mom?

Are you okay?

Yeah. It's just been a long day. I'm gonna take a shower.

Okay.

Why are you here?

What's going on?

What's wrong with you?

Did you change your mind?

And you've ended it with her?

What changed your mind?

I…

Hi, Mom.

Hi, baby. I didn't even know you were home.

-How long have you been home? -A couple of hours.

It's at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow.

I'm on top of it. And are you okay?

-Are you hungry? -Mom, stop fussing. It's fine.

Okay.

Well. I'll grab a shower.

I'm totally beat. My new route is almost 20 kilometers.

-Your new route? -Yes. In the woods. It's so beautiful.

Haven't we always been good together?

Yes.

Perhaps there's something you want to try?

Something new?

What do you mean?

We could buy something.

Some toys, perhaps.

Would you like that?

Yes.

Why are you here?

Can we talk about it tomorrow?

It's been a…

tough evening for both of us.

Do you still want me?

Yes.

Johan is next door. He's still awake.

I have to feel if you mean it.

That you're over her.

Sorry. Sorry, can we just…

Give me a chance, okay?

Can I please just… Can I just hold you?

Is that okay?

We're taking Mom's.

How come?

-Well, because she… -Hey, hey…

Aren't you going to say goodbye to your mom?

I'm in a hurry.

I still get to wish my son good luck, don't I?

Okay.

-Good luck. -Thanks.

Let's swap back.

-Hey. -Hi.

Did you hear that a woman was run down and killed last night?

-What? -On that dangerous stretch after the bend.

-How awful. -Dad.

Let's go.

-I have to… -Of course. Talk later?

-Isn't that awful? -Right on the bend?

-Yes. -Last night?

Yes. Not that late.

They say it was a hit-and-run. How can anyone do that?

Who was she?

Mother of three out for a run.

-Isn't it awful? -Yes.

I usually jog here.

Yes. Yes, okay. Yes. No.

No, you don't need to. That's fine. Yes. Okay, bye.

Holger, the rain didn't help, so I'll send forensics home.

You saw her.

Did you talk to her?

That was later.

At their son's graduation party.

HONK AND WE DRINK!

ONE HONK = ONE SIP THREE HONKS = CHEERS!

Tell me, did my head shrink since I graduated?

Yours fits better.

It suits you better too.

-Where did you find it? -In the basement.

-That'll be Peter. Would you…? -Yes.

Christian?

It's the police.

-Hello. -Hello.

We're knocking on doors in the hope of finding someone who can help.

Yes. It's about that hit-and-run woman.

-Oh. Yes. -Yes.

Were you at home the other night, around 10:30?

The day before yesterday?

Wasn't that the night you got home late? I think Johan said--

Oh yes. I was working late at the office.

What time did you get home?

-It was probably around… What time? -I don't know.

Hello? The door was open.

-Peter. -So, where is my godson?

He's outside. Johan, look who's here.

-Hey, dude. -Hey!

-Congratulations. -Did you see anything?

-No. -Or hear anything?

I'm afraid not.

-Call if you remember anything. -Sure. Let me walk you out.

-Enjoy the party. -Thanks.

XENIA: PLEASE CALL ME?

WHY AREN'T YOU ANSWERING?

OKAY, JUST FORGET IT. IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE LIKE THIS…

-What's wrong? -What?

You just seem a bit…

Well, that was the night I ended it with Xenia.

I didn't want to tell them or they'd question her too.

Were you with her that night?

Yes, briefly and then I came back home. I told you.

I thought you called her from the car.

We're off.

We have to sing the song! "Thank you to the parents." Come on.

Thanks to the parents

Thanks for Johan and beer

We're going out to drink We're going out to drink

We'll puke in every single hedge

And drink until we fall down

Behind the monoliths

Behind the monoliths

WE LOVE YOU

WE MISS YOU

WE LOVE YOU

MOM IN HEAVEN

Yes.

Yes.

Fine. Thank you. Yes, I understand. But I have to get your name first.

-I would like to turn my-- -Can't you see I'm busy?

You'll have to wait.

Please take a seat.

Right. You were saying?

And what the time was that? Do you know approximately?

Yes.

Okay. But we… Yes.

But if we write between 9:30 and 11:00, that should be…

JOHAN: FUCKING GREAT PARTY, DAD. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.

The police are still looking for the hit-and-run driver

and particularly for a white van,

which witnesses believe might have had Romanian license plates.

The police fear that the driver has fled the country.

If you have any information

to help in the search, please contact your local police.

The government and its supporters have agreed on who…

CAR WASH

I never understood why Leonora started to suspect Christian.

But she figured it out somehow.

Do you remember selling me this card?

You're the mathematician.

Yes. I deposited 200 kroner and bought a gold wash for 79.

So, there should be 121 kroner left. There isn't.

-You've used the card twice. -No, I haven't.

First time was on the 15th at 9:27 a.m. The second time, the 17th at 10:18 p.m.

Last Wednesday?

Johan?

Christian?

Could you come up?

-Where's Johan? -Outside. With Martha.

Okay, I have to talk to--

I wanted to wash the car.

I couldn't believe how quickly you made a mess of it.

I couldn't understand why there was no money on the card.

I said that the card hadn't been used Wednesday night.

And you know?

I was so persistent

that the cashier found the surveillance tape for me.

He sent me a file.

Have a look.

You wanted to kill me.

It should've been me.

We're picking something up over at… What's going on?

-You don't look well. -Hey.

I just have to talk to Mom. Could you wait outside?

-Is it the doctor? Am I sick again? -No. Hey. I just have to talk to her.

-Go on. -Are you getting divorced?

Mom? Are you okay?

Hi.

-What's up? -Hi, Martha.

Hey.

Come on.

Stop.

Don't come near me.

The neighbor's in the garden. I'll scream.

No, Leonora. I'm not… Could you calm down, please?

Calm down?

You tried to kill me!

-No. -You…

-You killed an innocent woman. -No. No, I…

I'm calling the police.

Wait. Can we just talk about it? Can't you wait a sec?

I wasn't… Just wait. Can't we…

-Hello? -Wait a minute. I'll…

It's Leonora Holm. You were at our house yesterday.

-I will talk to… -About the hit-and-run.

-Let's just talk. -Yes, we're at number 23.

Hi. My wife thought we should call.

I'm the one who…

I saw a van that night.

Yes, it was foreign. Romanian, I think. Sorry. Can I call you back?

Wait.

-Give me my phone. -I can't hear you.

-I need my phone. -I can't hear you.

-Can we go inside? Please. -I'm not going in that house with you.

-Leonora. Calm down. -You tried…

-You… -Can't we…?

Sorry.

Think of Johan.

Did you think of Johan when you tried to kill me?

That he'd live without his mother?

You have called Leonora. Please leave a message.

Fuck!

Dad, what's going on?

Dad…

I love you. You know that?

You know that, right?

What's wrong?

Hey, can you do me a favor?

-What? -Go to your room and wait.

Why? Who's knocking on the door?

Just do as I say.

Do as I say, okay?

Go on.

May we come in?

Can we do it outside?

My son's inside. I'd like to spare him.

Well, your wife called us.

Yes.

You say it had foreign plates?

The van.

Well, I…

just saw it out of the corner of my eye.

We've had so many burglaries. So we keep an eye out for foreign vans.

Where was it from?

The van.

I'm not sure. I think it was Romanian.

Why do you think that?

The license plate.

MEET ME AT L'EPUISETTE AT 9:00 P.M.

What's on a Romanian license plate?

"RO." It says "RO."

I know what you're thinking. He was practically glowing with guilt.

But I needed the most important thing,

evidence.

Do you understand why we're meeting here?

I've done a lot of thinking in the last few hours.

I've weighed each of your crimes on…

What to call it…

The scales of justice?

The three motherless children would certainly be best served

with you behind bars for life.

-Yes. -But I'm no judge.

First and foremost, I'm Johan's mother.

He is the only good thing I've achieved.

I sacrificed it all for him to have a good life.

If you go to jail

for fraud and murder,

everything was in vain.

That brings me to my next problem.

My life will always be in danger.

What?

You have tried to kill me. You'll try again.

No, I won't.

No.

I'm not a…

I would do anything to change what I did.

Leonora. Tell me what to do?

Do to her what you intended to do to me.

Xenia.

As long as she's out there, my life is in danger.

Because I'm a threat. To you.

Sorry, I need to understand this. You want me to… I have to…

Stop it, Leonora.

I was out of my mind in that moment.

Do you understand? Your threat of reporting me.

I would never have reported you.

I just didn't want to lose. Not that way. Not to her.

I promise, I'll never lay a hand on you.

All I can think of is Johan. Saving him.

That'll only happen if you do to her what you wanted to do to me.

We'll share the burden. It'll be our project.

Before, it was just your project. To get rid of me.

Now we get rid of her and the threat to our relationship.

I'll be an accomplice.

Because I know.

It'll be our secret.

Hey, stop. Now. Stop.

Just stop it!

What are you even saying? Are you completely insane? I won't…

Think of Johan.

It would only increase the risk of me being found out.

Johan would take the hit.

He'd lose both of us, and that would ruin his life.

You're making no sense.

Okay, look.

Just listen.

Stop it.

Leonora, you're making no sense.

You should've thought about that before you tried to kill his mother.

Besides, it's only a matter of planning.

And you're good at it, it turns out.

You need an alibi.

Like me that night.

The night Mike went over the edge of the cliff.

I knew he was seeing someone else.

I could feel it.

There he was. Right by the edge.

He didn't look scared.

He just looked…

surprised.

Hello.

I'm about to lock up for the night. Close the windows when you leave?

-You're just guessing again, aren't you? -Am I?

Pay attention.

Leonora's teacher says she heard her all evening,

but hadn't actually seen her.

Sound as an alibi.

Voilà.

You're getting the King Suite.

It's our best room.

-This is beautiful. -Yes.

-Do you need anything else? -When does the spa close?

-At 10.30 p.m. You have plenty of time. -Thank you.

Are you ready?

Make sure nobody sees you leave here.

-And, Christian? -Yes.

The timing.

The text message. It has to look like a home invasion.

You can do this, honey.

You've done it before.

Remember?

This is lovely. It is just what we need.

It's time.

-Hi, can I come in? -Get lost.

Xenia.

I'm not doing this anymore.

You disappeared. It's over.

My only son just graduated. Leonora has had a complete breakdown.

-Give me a chance. -Dream on, Christian.

I'm not your plaything. Get lost.

What the hell are you doing? Have you gone insane! Let go!

I love you.

Xenia?

I've never loved anyone like I love you.

Are you okay?

Hi, Xenia. Did I hear glass breaking?

No. It's nothing. I'm just clumsy.

-Goodnight. -Goodnight, then.

I'm calling from the King Suite. We've decided to order room service.

Sounds good. We'd like the shrimp for starters.

Wait, my husband is calling from the bathroom.

He's changed his mind. Cold tomato soup for starters.

Where the hell were you?

A lot has happened.

Can I have a drink?

What do you want?

Whatever you're having.

DEAR XENIA

Christian.

I CAN'T DO IT. I'M SORRY. MY FAMILY IS EVERYTHING TO ME.

-Come in. -It's room service.

That was fast. Time to get out of the tub, Christian. Dinner is here.

-Could you please sign here? -Yes.

-Thank you very much. -Let me get you a tip. Just a sec.

Christian?

I need a tip for the waiter.

I think there's some in my pants. The gray ones.

They're on the bed.

Okay.

-You really don't have to. -I have it right here.

Well…

Thank you very much.

Bon appétit.

I could feel you.

Looking at me.

You're the most beautiful person in the world.

Xenia?

Are you okay?

Hey!

Are you okay, Xenia?

I knew you couldn't do it.

-Hi. -Hi.

The entire place was suspiciously clean of DNA and fingerprints.

The sheets had just been changed.

Her computer, wallet, and cellphone were gone as well.

We got a warrant and access to the last text messages.

Wanna to know what they said?

"Dear Xenia. I just can't do this. I'm sorry."

"My family is everything to me."

That sounds like a man with cold feet.

Was it him?

Christian Holm.

Leonora.

Honey, you're home.

Let me do the talking if you don't know what to say.

Come on.

We can't keep meeting like this.

How can we help?

Christian, we're here concerning a woman with whom you work.

Xenia Mikkelsen.

Maybe it's best if we talk in private?

No, it's fine by me.

It seems like there was a burglary at Xenia's weekend cottage.

A neighbor heard something suspicious.

Now there's no trace of her and she's reported missing.

We're investigating anyone she had contact with.

I'm afraid I don't know anything. Sorry.

But you were in contact with her the other day?

On Sunday.

Yes.

I broke up with her.

We had an affair.

For how long?

For a little over a year.

Christian and I have been together for over 20 years.

Our son was very ill. We had a rough time.

Christian and I have both had affairs.

Ups and downs are only natural in a long marriage.

I don't know if you'd understand?

-Are you married? -Yes.

My wife died last year.

You messaged Xenia late Sunday night.

-Where were you? -We were at a spa resort.

In Kongebrogården.

You're welcome to check.

Yeah.

What do you think?

Is she alive?

We've seen people turn up again after 20 days.

Yes. And after 20 years. But I'm asking.

Is Xenia alive?

No.

But why remove the dead body

if it was a burglary and murder?

The body might lead to the killer?

If they had just had sex.

-Check the little ports along the coast. -We're on it. We'll find the body.

Get K9 up there to search the woods.

They're gone.

We're doing this. Together.

For Johan.

And for us.

What about the body?

Exactly.

Where the hell is the body?

How far to the lake?

About a kilometer that way.

That's a long way to drag a body. We would have found tracks.

Okay, let's split up.

You go towards the road, and we'll head to the lake.

Then he heads towards…

It's police dogs. They're searching for that missing woman.

Are we lighting the bonfire?

Hell no. It's only eight. Much too early.

-The forecast said rain… -Yes. Later.

Why don't you light it?

Hey, buddy.

Wait up. You don't get to do it by yourself.

I want to light it before the rain.

Yes, okay. Fine.

Christian wants us to light the fire now…

Cheers, Dad.

Easy.

Follow along the water's edge.

-Hand me the gasoline. -Sure. God, it stinks out here.

We must have gotten some hedgehogs mixed in.

Looking good.

Give me one more.

-Easy now. -We'll search on the shore.

Do you have a lighter?

No, I don't. Strike a few at a time?

Let's move on.

Holger, this is a dead-end.

We love our country

When the blessed Christmas lights

The star in the tree With a sparkle in every eye

When in spring, every bird Over fields and beaches

Bends its voice To a welcoming warble

Your word is our song Across every road and street

-Excuse me. Could I try them? -Yes, of course.

But Dad, even if you burn a body like that,

the bones will remain.

-Bones disintegrate at 1200 degrees. -Exactly.

But now you have something you can put in a bag.

The rest is gone.

SOLD

Hi.

-It's time. -Finally.

The boat from Zealand was delayed.

-How about you? Are you ready? -Yes.

My dad has spent the entire time trying to talk me out of it.

You're such a romantic.

I'm just a realist.

People think getting married is where happiness begins.

I'm not saying it's not. It may be.

But so much can happen.

And bear in mind that you could just as easily be walking

into the arms of your enemy.

How do I look?

My love, you are the most beautiful woman.

No man on this Earth deserves you.

Haven't you been listening to me at all?

I'm just saying that love is far more dangerous than its reputation.

Once you go in, anything can happen.

Are you ready for that?

Yes.

I'm ready.
