FACE TO FACE

- Holger.
- Liz? What a surprise.

Indeed. I just stopped by
to say a quick hello to Markus.

- But if you're busy...
- No, come on in.

- No, I'll come back...
- Come in.

Okay.

So...

- Are we still on tomorrow at 3?
- Fine by me.

Great. We've almost finished
drawing up the contract.

A few minor adjustments,
and it's ready to be signed.

- Where is Markus?
- It's just you and me right now.

Say, isn't it your mom's birthday today?

- How the hell do you remember that?
- My memory is a curse and a blessing.

- Shouldn't you be in Stockholm?
- Yeah, but something came up.

- But it's fine.
- Shame. Is it because of Markus?

- No.
- So whatever it was, it's resolved?

- Is everything okay?
- Couldn't be better.

I'm just a little confused. If Markus
wasn't involved, why are you here?

Unless you thought, "Well, now that
I'm missing out on my mom's birthday -

- I might as well stop by Markus."

- Yes, that's more or less it.
- So he wasn't expecting you?

Apparently not.

Sorry, but I'm just confused.

Half an hour ago, you texted Markus -

- that you were late.

"Traffic" you texted. With a smiley.

- Why have you got Markus's phone?
- Sit down, Liz.

- What's going on? Where is Markus?
- Sit down.

No... I'll stand.

Suit yourself.

One more time.
Why did you come to see Markus?

- I can't tell you. It's private.
- Private-wise or business-wise private?

Business-wise private.

Doesn't that constitute
a conflict of interest?

- How do you mean?
- You're Lang Enterprise's lawyer.

Hence my lawyer.
Markus's role in the company is complex.

He's not privy to everything -

- but he shouldn't be privy
to anything that I'm not.

Confused?
Want me to draw you a diagram?

No, you don't need to.
I get it.

So if you're here on business,
just talk to me about whatever it is.

But if you're here
on private business matters -

- representing Markus and me
at the same time -

- then you do see...

... the conflict of interest.

Wow, Holger.
Thanks for explaining the law to me.

Hell, you ought to be a lawyer.

So what is it?

Markus wanted my advice on something -

- that doesn't constitute a conflict
of interest, a private matter.

That's all I know.

Okay. I'll just have
to take your word for it.

Let's rewind to a private private matter
that does conflict with my interests.

Six weeks ago, Markus texted you,
and I'm quoting from memory here.

"They're still seeing each other.
We have to do something."

Three days later, "Holger won't listen."
Finally, "Christina has to go."

"She's ruining everything."

Every time, you replied, "Call me."

Why did Markus need to talk
to you about Christina?

- He was worried.
- What business is that of yours?

- Like you said, I'm your lawyer.
- So it was a legal matter?

I often act on your behalf.
What exactly are you accusing me of?

I don't know yet.

But I sense something is brewing.

- You're being paranoid.
- Undoubtedly.

But as Freud said,
the paranoid is rarely all wrong.

Tell me about your talk with Markus.

He wanted to know if Christina was
a threat to you or the company -

- and if so, what he should do.

What did you tell him?

That she wasn't involved in the company
and your relationship wasn't a threat.

As Lang Enterprise's advisor, I told him
to relax now that his brother was happy.

- Did you genuinely mean that?
- No.

I thought Christina would be your downfall
and you'd take us with you in the fall.

- Unbelievable!
- Is it really, Holger?

Okay, Lang Towers.

How many apartments have been
rented out recently? Two?

Three?

None?
And there are more flailing projects.

The North Harbor building.
How many will be there on a daily basis?

11 floors, 20-30 companies.

The place can accommodate 1,200 people.

How many of those 1,200 would have died
if the roof caved in?

How much would we be sued for?
Round up to the nearest million.

- It's the most solid roof ever built.
- Yes, now.

Because I prevented a supplier from
killing hundreds, making us liable.

Thanks for literally doing the job
I pay you to do.

And all the rest?

- What?
- Blacknet!

You've taken over an illegal
trading platform and bribed the police.

Not the kind of thing a CEO ought
to engage in, if you get my drift.

You don't know how much damage control
I've carried out for you recently.

I've had to cook the books!

Don't you see that I'm an accomplice?

If you're busted for Blacknet, I'm going
down, because my prints are all over it.

I'm not naive, okay? You wouldn't be you
without stretching the law.

But you and Christina crossed the line
and I don't see how we're gonna go back.

You're right. I apologize.

All very nice thoughts,
but Markus doesn't think like that.

There must have been a specific reason
why he saw Christina as a threat.

What was it?

I only found out after the fact.

Markus hired a PI to shadow Christina.

Oh, you knew.

I told Markus to step back
and let you handle it.

Why didn't he listen to you?

He was afraid that
you had plans for her -

- and might give her a position
in the company.

- I can't imagine he took that nicely.
- No, of course not.

You own his apartment.
The only thing Markus owns is his car.

You control his life, Holger.

Naturally,
any management changes worry him.

And that was it?

Holger, Markus is my friend.
I had to be frank with him.

Yes?

So I told him that if Christina were
to run the company, she could fire him.

No matter what bonuses you gave him.

- And the same thing goes for all of us.
- Why the hell did you tell him that?

- Because it's true.
- Don't you see that it got her killed?

You said it was suicide.

When he realized my plans for Christina
and you'd clarified the consequences -

- she was found murdered!

- You said she killed herself!
- I was wrong!

- She was murdered.
- How do you know?

Did the police tell you?
How do you know, Holger?

I want you to see this.

- What the hell was that?
- Markus's PI killed her.

- Okay, but why?
- You're asking me?

- Markus texted you she had to go.
- Markus would never do that.

So just before Christina dies, you tell
Markus she's set to run the company.

She'll fire and ruin him, making him
even more dependent on me.

I never thought Markus would do that.

Some might say you'd created a narrative
with only one possible ending -

- which you let Markus write.

- Do you honestly think I planned that?
- Why not?

She posed an existential threat
to the company, didn't she?

- You loved her. I'd never hurt her.
- Oh, come on!

As if you'd let feelings torpedo your
career and put the company at risk.

- Then we'd better find another lawyer.
- Go on! This job has aged me 20 years.

- She was a no-go because I'd be hurt?
- Believe what you want.

But that doesn't make any sense!

Because I have feelings for you.

Say what?

Want me to draw you a diagram?

That's...

That's a trick. Tactics.

I don't know where you think
I studied law.

I'm not trying to manipulate you.

I like you.

I'd never hurt you or Christina.

Sorry, but I find that hard to believe.

Try seeing it from my perspective.

A middle-aged Dane
who hasn't smiled since the '80s.

I never thought I'd fall
for a man like that, but I did.

I need a smoke.

Why have you never told me
about your feelings?

It never would have worked.

I didn't want a relationship
with someone not my equal.

- Because I'm wealthy?
- No, it's not about money.

It's about power.

We don't have an equal amount of power.

In that case, I can't be with anyone.

If we'd been together,
you'd end up overpowering me.

I don't give a damn about
what other people think -

- but I wanted you to know that
I like you for you and not your money.

So I had to get my own money and status.

It doesn't have to be that way.

Do you really believe that?

All your relationships are about power.
That's just the way you are.

Your drive is unique. You could lose all
your money and get it back in a month.

That's what attracts me.

So what you love about me
is also what you don't like?

Something doesn't add up.

Holger...

In all the years I've known you,
you've never let your parents down.

- What did you give your dad last year?
- I don't fucking remember.

A family trip to the Maldives.

And when we bought Tuborg Harbor,
I had to postpone signing the contract -

- because of your parents' anniversary.

I'm leaving.

But today,
you drop your mom's birthday.

- Like I said, something came up.
- You're lying.

You canceled because you had
to see Markus. Sure, you like him -

- but he doesn't mean that much to you.

He's got something on you.

What?

- Holger, I think you're...
- What has Markus got on you?

- I was forced.
- Forced how?

- Money. It's always money, isn't it?
- Markus is broke.

I lost all my money, and Markus
was gonna help me get it back.

What do you mean?

My own savings, my parents' savings,
I invested them in CEC Equity.

It's going bankrupt.

The one Markus raved about?
I told you to stay away.

I wanted to get rich
to measure up to you.

- You get a nice salary.
- Yes, from you! Don't you see?

I told Markus the fund
was heading for bankruptcy -

- and told him to get my money back.

- Markus hasn't got that kind of power.
- He showed me he got his money back.

But he wanted something in return. What?

- He wanted my help with a contract.
- What contract?

The North Harbor building.

Show me.

Give it here!

ComTech? They only supply
building materials.

It's just a standard contract.

- Why did Markus want in?
- I don't know. Honestly.

Maybe he wanted to try his hand
at being a businessman.

When you discussed the contract
with Markus -

- how well-prepared was he?

- What do you mean?
- Did he know what he was talking about?

- Yes.
- Him being Markus, wasn't that odd?

- I was impressed.
- He was guided! You never thought:

"Markus is lobbying for the other party.
I'd better call Holger."

- He wanted it this way.
- Whoever's behind it killed Christina.

You don't know that the two are
connected. Why don't you call Markus?

- Call and ask him to explain.
- When did his interest in this start?

I don't know.
Five or six weeks ago.

Just after Christina died. It's
coordinated. They're after the company!

Check the contract.

It's a standard contract.
No funny business.

What's the point of it?
What's the endgame?

That's what today was all about.
Wasn't it?

You were to meet and do
the final adjustments.

The devil is in the detail.

Who finalizes the contract
before I sign it tomorrow?

Who makes sure that every single comma
is placed right on the 200 pages?

- I do.
- Of course. That's what I pay you for.

And of course I'll sign. You're my
closest and most trusted employee.

Now you know everything.

I don't know what details
Markus wanted to change.

You'll have to talk to him.

Markus must have mentioned
someone he talked to at ComTech.

- No.
- Think! Did you see him with someone?

We mostly spoke on the phone or Zoom.
Last time, we met here -

- and that was the first time
Markus couldn't answer my questions.

- Someone called and he left.
- About the contract?

No, it was a bookmaker. But that
didn't puzzle me. It was Markus.

- Did you hear what he said?
- No, he was on the balcony.

When he came back,
he could suddenly answer my questions.

Markus was terrified that his creditors
might show up unannounced -

- so he had cameras on the stairs
and the balcony. When was the meeting?

- Last Tuesday around 2:30 p.m.
- Tuesday...

- There... 2:46?
- Yes.

No...

Otto.

I had nothing to do with it.

Holger!

Clear out your office by tomorrow.
