DR PRESENTS

PREVIOUSLY

I need to know every detail. Every detail.

Nanna, this could be huge.

A general meeting will be convened,

and Nova will try to convince our shareholders to sell the bank.

- Make sure that doesn't happen. - Of course.

Does it cross your mind

that one of the bank managers is a fucking junkie who goes to NA?

When you do what we do, there comes a time

when you betray the people who are dearest to you.

- I want an abortion. - OK.

Do you both feel that way?

Yes.

Look at her.

I promise to investigate your case.

- Hi. - Hi.

Would you like to share something with us?

I feel like shit.

I'm afraid.

All the time.

Afraid that I have another relapse.

Another one.

And I'm afraid that if I do have a relapse...

then...

...l'll bottom out.

Everyone around me is so nice and decent

and wants the best for me, but...

I'm absolutely sure that someone wants to do me harm.

But I'm the monster in their lives.

Your addiction is the monster.

Wow!

How profound. Aren't you clever?

- We keep a civil tongue here. - Yes, but that's what I'm saying.

Nobody here understands shit!

I don't have problems when I'm on drugs.

Only when I'm off them.

They silence all the fools. It's so...

...so exhausting.

I could really use a line and a vodka.

Or a bottle of vodka and ten lines.

Preferably enough to kill me.

Can I get anyone anything?

FOLLOW THE MONEY

And there's these.

- Yes. Thanks. - What are you up to?

- Some big names are coming in. - Who?

- Strand. John Pressman. - William Hald.

- Anyone else? - Are you buying property?

- Not from them. - They met with Strand at the inn.

They distributed repossessed properties from Nova among themselves.

It's our theory.

Strand forced people into bankruptcy

and sold the properties to his friends at bargain prices.

We think.

Shut up, Alf. It's very obvious.

Yes, it looks that way.

They make a profit on running businesses into the ground.

Now we have to prove that they do it to resell property.

Who's she?

The woman we thought was having an affair with Strand.

Interview with Bjarke Strand. This will be recorded.

Present are Justesen and Rybjerg and Attorney Henning Marstrand.

Your department at Nova Bank

had customers who were in financial trouble,

but you cracked down only on some of them.

Isn't that true?

We tried to exercise due diligence.

OK.

How do you explain

meeting with property speculators and distributing properties?

They are just...

...dinners. I cultivate my contacts.

Cultivate your contacts?

You selected customers.

You cracked down on the ones with rising properties.

When they went bankrupt,

- you sold them and cashed in. - It wasn't like that.

Everything was by the book.

If it wasn't, you'd have more hard evidence.

What did Strand say?

Not much.

Without going into detail, I can say that none of it was news to us.

But details are exactly what I need.

I can't divulge them.

I want to be able to solve our problems internally.

Any rotten apples in my bank will be fired and handed over to you.

You have my word.

Or what?

You think you can waltz in here at Nova Bank,

one of the country's major financial institutions?

Do as I ask, and your department gets a nice little feather in its cap.

William Hald, when did Strand contact you?

About three years ago.

What did he say?

That Nova Bank wanted buyers for their properties.

- Various bankrupt estates? - Yes. Exactly.

When did you close the deal?

Shortly thereafter.

Were the properties chosen before they went bankrupt?

- Excuse me? - Did you point out

which buildings or homes you would like?

Do I have a say in who Nova declares bankrupt?

Do you find it funny?

It's crazy. It's not possible.

Why were your companies chosen as purchasers?

Well, to be blunt,

we were the only ones who could be bothered to.

"Bothered to"?

My company and the others were new on the market

and ready to take a chance.

Yes.

And it turned out to be a very lucrative business.

Earning money has never been a crime.

At least, not yet.

Who set the prices on the properties?

A trustee in bankruptcy.

As prescribed by law.

Yes, but who? Name?

Karin N�rg�rd.

Yes, that's her.

I have nothing to hide.

That's why I didn't bring a lawyer.

We're getting nowhere!

Sorry.

OK, let's go over it one more time.

- Mads... - Right.

Bjarke Strand contacts CEOs to sell properties facing bankruptcy.

- At low prices. - Yes.

But not cheap enough to stink.

Then they give Bjarke Strand lots of money under the table.

We can't prove it.

We can't get access to his account on the Virgin Islands,

and he doesn't spend enough for his spending to be evidence.

What if Bjarke Strand isn't the architect?

Then who?

- What if it's the trustee? - What does she get out of it?

- She appraises the properties, right? - Yes, exactly.

What if the buyers have her set the price too low?

Then they get a great buy that they can sell and she gets a fair share.

Yes.

Maybe.

- You should question her. - Yes.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Amanda won't be in for a while.

- Oh. When will she be in? - Amanda is gone.

What do you mean?

What I said � she's gone.

- Where is she? - Probably in a hotel.

Why?

Because she isn't doing well.

Or she's doing great. I don't know.

She's on drugs.

You have a general meeting soon where 200-300 of your shareholders

will vote for or against a sale to a competitor.

They expect your plan for the bank.

I'm aware of that.

Is Amanda?

Yes, Claudia, I'm sure she knows that perfectly well.

What do we do?

How long is she usually gone?

OK, then... You'll have to give a presentation.

Otherwise, it's sure to be sold.

But...

Claudia, I am... I'm not a good speaker.

You have 48 hours to become one.

I'll help you, but I have to go and talk to Martin Enevoldsen.

Why? What's up with him?

- Didn't you read the article? - No.

According to "Finance" yesterday,

he still doesn't know if he'll vote for or against selling.

Amanda was going to talk to him, so I'll have to do it.

He's an old friend of the family.

He has 8% of the votes, so let's hope so.

See you!

What is this pertaining to?

You're aware of how important the general meeting is to Absalon Bank.

- Of course. - I read that you...

How should I put it?

That your faith is waning.

No.

- I'm just protecting my investment. - Naturally.

- But being a friend of the family... - Let me tell you something.

Amanda and Simon's father was like a mentor to me.

He was old-school, but also an idealist.

I was fond of him.

After Nova's offer

and the way in which Absalon has chosen to deal with it...

It's... extremely unprofessional.

They have to listen to the shareholders.

I understand. And so do Amanda and Simon.

Why...

Why aren't they here?

They chose to send me.

I have nothing against you.

I'm sure you're very talented.

But they've just hired you.

Don't you see how unprofessional it is to send you?

It has the effect of making people like me very nervous.

I'll wait until I've heard Absalon and Nova's visions for the future.

I can't make a decision until then.

It's Claudia. We need to hear from you.

The more meetings you miss, the greater you risk losing the bank.

Amanda, if there's something you need,

let me know, no matter what it is.

He's doing well, but he's sleeping and he needs his rest.

- He asked me to come. - Come in.

Hey.

The doctor almost pronounced you dead.

He's not alone in that assumption.

I have a job for you.

It's not being a messenger, which you've been lately,

but a proper job.

- Can you do that? - Sure.

Note down what I say.

- What? - Note it down.

Oh, write it down. Right.

- Felix Enevoldsen. - Yes.

He lives on Dronningens Tv�rgade.

Felix Enevoldsen. Dronningens Tv�rgade.

- Number 12. - 12. I can remember that.

He's related to someone who we want to make a certain decision.

And how do we do that?

First...

...you go to my house.

FIND THE BIBLE

Hi, honey. Sorry I'm late.

No problem. He's sleeping.

- What's that? - Did you forget?

- Forget what? - What day it is today.

Oh, shit. I'm sorry. It slipped my mind.

- Happy birthday. - What?

- Happy belated birthday. - It's your father's birthday.

We're taking the flowers and visiting his grave.

That's nice of you, but visiting graves isn't my thing.

I'm not paying for it when the lease for the plot expires next year.

But it's your father.

What if Milas wants to know about his granddad?

Then I'll tell him.

I'll tell him that his granddad chased women in front of his grandma.

Please don't, honey.

And that I hated gym class, because I couldn't explain my bruises.

What? He beat you?

- He broke my collar bone. - What?

Basically, he believed in a strict upbringing.

Why haven't you ever told me this?

I don't know. It's all in the past. It doesn't matter.

Honey...

- It does matter. - No, it doesn't.

Why didn't you tell me?

Then no way he's getting flowers.

No, Maria. I didn't tell him.

I don't know what to do.

Yeah, maybe.

Dad says that dinner is ready.

- Right now. - OK.

Fine. I have to go. Dinner is on the table.

Thanks. Bye.

Are you sad?

Yes, a little bit.

Why?

I'm not sure about something.

Why?

Don't you worry. Let's go and eat.

The rissoles are ready, Albert.

Alberto!

Did you question them today?

Yes, they're singing like canaries.

That's good.

No, it means they're hiding something.

- Maybe. - I don't know.

We have to prove the connection.

You didn't give me enough potatoes.

Oh, dear, oh dear.

Here's another one. Do you want two?

APPOINTMENT FOR TERMINATION OF PREGNANCY

- Morning. - Morning.

The trustee will be here soon, so take a look at this first.

All the appraisals are lowered by the same percentage.

- Crikey! - This one and this one.

And leaf through the next one.

What's wrong?

Kristina doesn't want to keep the baby.

What?

- She doesn't want to keep the child. - So...

- So she's pregnant? - Yes. I already told you.

No, you sure as hell didn't.

Alf, I did.

I would remember if you told me that Kristina was pregnant. You didn't.

- Didn't I tell you? - No, you didn't.

Well, yes...

She's pregnant.

- Congratulations. - Yes. I mean...

No, no.

She doesn't want the baby because...

She got it into her head that...

...it's fucking dangerous because...

Because she's sick.

- Is it? - No.

Or yes. I don't know. Maybe.

- But... you want to keep it? - Yes, I do.

Even though babies are a pain in the arse.

Yes, so I've heard.

But it's my job to keep the appraisals low.

They're conservative.

Yes. Of course.

I've been through all of them.

Take a look at these.

All the sales are exactly 7% below the appraisal.

What a coincidence.

How do you explain an exact low percentage?

I'm just consistent.

You were appointed trustee by the probate court. Isn't that true?

Indeed.

By whom?

The largest creditor appoints the trustee, right?

- Yes. - So...?

So I was appointed by Nova Bank.

- Alf, I'll take it from here. OK? - Yes.

Do you know this man?

No.

No?

How about this one? Or this one? Or this one?

What is this?

This man is one of the people you forced into bankruptcy,

so you could sell his property.

I don't think you made a big profit, but every little bit helps, doesn't it?

Look at it!

- Do you think we're total idiots? - No.

Shame on all of you!

I'm looking forward to crushing you and your cronies.

We'll get to the bottom of this! I give you my word.

I don't know anything about that part of it!

What was that?

Did you say that you don't know about that part of it?

So there's more?

I was just asked to keep the appraisals down.

I didn't get anything out of it, apart from a few dinners at the inn.

Who asked you to keep the appraisals down?

Strand did.

I think he was just doing what he'd been told.

Thanks very much for your help.

Strand, open up! Police.

- You again? - Police. Is your husband home?

- What kind of person are you? You lied. - Yes.

- I'm sorry, Lise, but... - We don't have time for that.

- We need to talk to your husband. - He isn't here.

- Let's see. - You can't do that!

We can. We have a search warrant.

We need his computer, too. Where is he?

He's just left.

Where is his office?

- Upstairs. I'll check. - OK.

- Anna and Beate are taking a nap. - I'll be quiet.

- Where is he? - At a meeting on Funen.

- Lise... Your name is Lise, right? - Yes.

Just tell me where he is.

At a meeting on Funen.

Lise, I'm not an idiot. That's his car.

Tell me where he is.

Otherwise, I'll call for backup and they'll take this place apart

and wake up the kids.

Where is he?

He's not here. OK?

Strand?

OK.

Hold him! I got him.

Good. Get up.

What the hell were you thinking, Strand?

- Why did you run from us? - I want my lawyer.

- We just want to talk. - I won't say a word without my lawyer.

- We just have a few questions. - I know my rights!

You'll be arraigned within 24 hours, but until then... you're mine.

This is Mads from the fraud squad. Mads Justesen. Yes.

Do you have room? You do?

OK. Excellent.

- What's going on? - Shh!

See you soon. Bye.

Vestre Prison has room.

It's a tough place, but you'll be OK.

You can't put me in prison.

It's only for 24 hours. Then you'll be arraigned.

- Arraigned? - Listen.

You kicked me in the head. That's assault.

Aggravated assault against an officer. It's a serious charge.

If you're not going to talk, we're leaving. No?

OK.

Listen.

- This can't be happening. - Do you have anything to say?

Get in there.

Relax!

Hey!

Hey!

What about this one?

No, not that policeman.

Sweetie, there aren't any more policemen.

You know what?

Bertram, get Dad to buy you some more in Paris.

It'd be hard for the action figures to learn the language in Paris.

But I did it.

Yes, but you're smart.

- Action figures are all muscle. - You're silly.

Well!

Did Dad tell you that I'm coming for a visit?

I can't wait.

I miss you.

Someone's at the door. I'll be back in a minute.

Hello?

Hi.

Sure. Come on up.

Sweetie, someone from work is here. I have to go.

- OK. - Let's wave.

Bye.

Goodbye, sweetie.

Hi.

Did you get my message?

No, I just have to ask you something.

OK. Have a seat.

I was thinking of changing our course.

Your course?

Have you heard of Ali Baba?

- And the 40 thieves? - It's a Chinese e-commerce company.

Like PayPal, eBay, Amazon. All rolled into one.

We could do the same thing.

Become an IT company?

Not at all.

They launched Yu'e Bao last year.

It's an online investment fund. It's instead of a bank.

You invest your money and can withdraw it continuously.

OK. What do they invest in?

All sorts. Great diversification, low risk.

The point is that you can always withdraw your money.

Then there's the interest.

How much is the interest on your account?

- I don't know... - It's 0.35% at our bank.

Yu'e Bao gives their customers 6%. They made it simple.

It was brilliant. One click to switch banks.

The banking system in China is changing.

They met some obstacles when liquidity went up in China.

Then the government sent the banks money.

It scared the shit out of them. There's no regulation online.

We have to prepare a defence

if our government proposes a bill against it.

So what do you say?

- About Ali Baba? - Yes.

- It sounds good. - But?

But I get the feeling that you're a bit out of control.

You've been drinking and you talk a mile a minute.

Amanda, you don't seem to be doing very well.

I'm sorry, but you shouldn't give a presentation at the general meeting

when you're like this.

You're right.

You're absolutely right.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome. I'm glad we talked.

Amanda?

Amanda?

- Hi, Michael. - Hey, man.

- What's up? - Long time no see.

Five of those.

Yes.

And it's top notch?

- Five? - Right.

I'm in.

Felix Enevoldsen is at a club tonight.

So you'll need a suit.

What kind of club is it?

Only the sleazy ones require wearing a suit.

It's a club for the rich boys, so you'll fit right in.

- Hang on a minute. - What?

You're supposed to tell me when your daughter is here.

She comes and goes.

You'd better be off.

- Yes? - Good morning.

Good morning.

- Coffee? - Yes, please.

Anna Lisa, could you bring us a cup, please?

I'll be right there.

Amanda came home last night.

- There you go. - Thank you.

I haven't talked to her.

It sounds weird, but she decided to lock herself in her room.

OK.

I have talked to her.

- You have? - Yes.

She dropped by last night.

She can't give the presentation.

No, it's beginning to look that way.

- Do you take milk? - Yes, please.

So it's up to you. What have you got?

- I've been in the archives. - OK.

This is a picture of Absalon Bank's first branch from '63.

And there's an old annual report I might read aloud.

I'm also thinking of talking about our father.

About our father and his values...

...like honesty, respect and thoroughness,

which were his core values.

- I'll start with an anecdote. - OK.

You don't sound enthusiastic.

No, but as long as your speech is about the future, an anecdote is fine.

- Yes, the future. Good idea. - Yes.

Do you want to hear it?

- The anecdote? - Yes.

I'll test it on you.

My father...

My father was only 24 years old when he established the bank,

but he looked considerably younger.

Amanda?

- Isn't he cute? - Hi.

It's from our 9th birthday.

It was held here.

Out in the garden.

The whole class came.

He never liked attention.

He'd get upset and lock himself in his room.

So... in the end, we stopped celebrating his birthday.

- What about you? - I loved it.

The more attention, the better.

It's starting again.

What's starting?

They come in droves.

One strange thought after another.

It always starts like that.

So it's best that Simon takes over now.

And about time. He's always been such a...

...shade plant.

Is there such a thing?

Felix the man! What's up?

Awkward. You don't remember me?

No.

Right!

OK.

I'm sorry I didn't remember you.

It's OK. You meet lots of people in town.

I thought you were in England.

Yes, but only on weekdays.

No, go ahead.

This girl keeps calling me. It's fucking irritating.

It tastes right.

- Thanks. - No problem.

Hey!

Annika? What are you doing here?

What does it look like?

- I didn't expect to see you here. - Why not?

Don't you think I'm classy enough?

Are you leaving?

- Yes. - Can't you stay?

No.

Come.

Come on, you piece of shit.

Yes!

Hey. I thought you took off.

No.

I was looking for something.

- What's that? - Have a look at this.

- Is that your old laptop? - Yes.

With all my old home movies.

Look.

Look how little she is.

Christ, I look awful.

You're hot, honey.

- Do you think so? - Hell, yes.

Isn't she sweet?

Remember how scared we were when we had Esther?

- Were we? - Yes.

If you're still nervous...

...I do understand, but listen...

Hang on. Who the hell could that be?

- It's Alf. - Go ahead and answer it.

It's me.

Vestre Prison called. Strand is ready to talk.

- Already? - Yes.

Your old friends must've scared the shit out of him.

And he's claustrophobic.

Go ahead.

Thanks.

- Sit back down. - So...

You want to share something with us, Strand?

Yes.

But I knew nothing about it.

I didn't know that the bankrupt parties would be bled white.

So you're sticking to your statement?

Then why the hell did you get us out of bed?

It's true that I was told to be extra hard on certain customers.

But I had no say in who went bankrupt.

Who did?

Someone higher up.

I always got a call from the same in-house executive office.

But there's something you should know.

What?

Before you came to my house,

I was told that you were coming.

What did you say?

I was told to leave the country for a few days to avoid any danger.

That's why I tried to run.

He said I shouldn't worry because the case would be shut down.

Who told you that?

He says that they have something on your boss.

It's almost midnight.

- I have to go home. - No, not yet.

Hey! Mads and Alf, what are you doing here?

- We'd like a word with you. - Sure.

- What about? - Do you have a deal with Nova Bank?

Excuse me?

Can't you hear? I'll raise my voice.

Mind your own business and leave us alone. You got that?

Does our department have a secret deal with Nova Bank, Nanna?

Of course we don't.

- But that's what we heard. - Who told you?

- A suspect said you'll shut us down. - And that's true.

- You can't be serious. - Follow me.

If you're taking on our biggest bank, you need more.

- You don't know how much we have. - I know enough.

Someone higher up forced you to shut us down, right?

You're kidding!

What do you get out of it? What will they give you, Nanna?

You're so fucking naive, Mads.

You think everything is black and white.

- Want to know what they have on me? - By all means.

All the crap that you two pulled with Energreen.

All that crap that you pulled.

I covered for you every single time.

Have you forgotten how you got Energreen to go bankrupt?

Have you forgotten how you went about it?

The whole thing was fucking illegal!

And I covered for you every single time!

If I want to keep my job, I need to prioritise.

You can't go after Nova Bank on such insubstantial evidence.

They force people into bankruptcy.

We don't know that.

All we know is that they punish bad payers.

And that's bad enough. Unfortunately, it's not illegal.

So being poor is expensive. Is that what you're saying?

You know what? That's the way the world is.

Fucking hell!

- I'm sorry. - Who are you protecting?

I can't say any more, Alf.

I expected more of you.

Aren't you asleep?

Can't you sleep?

Martin Enevoldsen?

- Yes? - I have something to show you.

That's your son, isn't it?

And here and here.

Doesn't he go to an expensive school in England?

They wouldn't be happy to see these.

- Who are you? - It's not important.

But the press would be pleased to see them.

What do you want?

I want a favour from you when you vote today.

It's very simple.

Are you ready?

I'll have to be.

Let me fix this.

There.

Right.

Any last-minute advice?

Just be yourself.

Speak loudly and clearly and stick to your script.

Yes, stick to my script.

Welcome to Absalon Bank's extraordinary general meeting.

This meeting was called to discuss Nova Bank's offer to buy the bank

and to let their respective managers express their views.

Afterwards, it will be put to a vote.

- Susanne Birk Simonsen has the floor. - Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you, everyone.

We have great respect for the work that's been done at Absalon Bank.

But it's time to move on.

Unlike your present managers, our focus will be on profit.

We will optimise and pare down and utilise the huge potential

that isn't taken advantage of.

We'll earn money for ourselves,

but also for you who are the backbone of Absalon Bank.

It should be obvious why you should vote for our involvement.

It's because we believe in the values that Absalon has had all along.

They are respect, honesty and thoroughness.

- That's our presentation. - What?

That's my presentation.

That's my presentation to a T.

You'll have to improvise.

I don't know what to... Now I don't have...

What should we do?

Claudia?

Now I give the floor to Simon Absalonsen.

Thank you very much. Good morning, everyone.

I was rather surprised, I must admit.

I...

They stole Simon's idea.

They gave his presentation.

You have to do something.

I can't.

Listen to me.

Without you, there is no bank.

You have the visions. You inspire other people.

This might sound strange, but...

What Susanne Birk Simonsen just told you,

is exactly what I was going to say.

Almost verbatim.

I don't imagine you want to hear it all again.

Let me see...

Right.

Yes. I have...

an anecdote about my father.

He was 24 years old when he established the bank...

But we'd rather not bore you with the past,

as it's over.

Our father was a wise and sensible man,

but also a man of his time.

To be quite honest, Simon and I are sick and tired

of hearing about the old Absalon Bank,

so we'd rather talk of the future.

In the future,

the banks we know today, such as Nova Bank,

will be museum pieces.

They will be things of the past. They will be extinct.

They will be eaten up by innovation and new thinking.

And that's because they neither managed to enter into the digital age,

nor see what will come afterwards.

Here's the future of banking.

In the future,

the customers will be the bank.

Banks won't have branches,

because customers do 99% of their banking online.

They'll be able to change banks with a single swipe.

So the question is:

Why should customers be loyal to us?

They can and will be,

because we'll offer something no other bank can offer them.

We make them a part of the bank.

Honey?

Shit!

Kristina, what's wrong?

Do you promise to manage if I'm not here anymore?

What are you talking about?

You heard me.

Stop it, honey.

- Listen. - OK.

If we go through with this,

you have to promise me to take care of them when I'm gone.

Yes, of course.

And promise me that you won't go to pieces if that happens.

I can't promise you that, but...

If you find someone...

- If you find someone... - Kristina, stop it.

But if you do, then promise me...

She has to be good to the kids.

Let's do it. Let's have the baby.

Hi.

- Hi. - I'm sorry I'm late.

- I overslept. - It's fine.

Mads, sit down for a minute.

What the hell is up?

Nanna's resigned.

- What? - She handed in her resignation.

On the record,

she wants a managerial job in the security business.

Off the record,

she was in the Minister of Justice's office at 8am,

explaining everything about Energreen's bankruptcy.

- She took full responsibility. - OK.

I think that what you said to her worked, Mads.

She's left us this.

What is it?

- A name. - Of a bank on the Cayman Islands.

- How is that useful? - Look.

Here's Nova Bank.

Here are all the bankrupt properties.

Here are the companies that want to buy them.

All of these companies are owned

by the same investment fund on the Caymans:

KCC Holding.

And who owns it?

Knud Christensen, chairman of the board at Nova Bank.

- He's doing deals with himself. - Exactly.

The middlemen know as little as possible.

I'll be damned!

- Calm down. - I made a fool of myself.

It was embarrassing.

- Let's wait and see. - How did they know

what I was going to say word for word?

It wasn't all that imaginative.

No.

- The votes have been tallied. - And?

- Nova Bank got 123. - Oh!

Eight were blank, and Absalon got 137.

Yes!

Oh, that's terrific! That's terrific.

Congratulations. Congratulations, Simon.

Thank you.

One of you has to come with me.

- Enevoldsen wants to say hi. - Simon, I'll do it.

He must think he saved us.

Yes...

Thanks.

Hey!

- Get out of the way. - I thought we had a deal.

- We don't have a deal. - I'm sending the photos to the press.

- Do whatever you want. - Don't you care?

My son will learn about consequences.

What kind of a father are you? He's your son.

It's been a really long day.

I have a meeting.

- Would you please step aside? - No.

He's your son, man.
