Original subtitles

You're still hoping to get back together with your wife.

Call me if you move on.

I don't think we should be together anymore.

Kristina?

- The apartment - did you find anything? - You've been a bit busy, huh?

That Swede knows we have the money.

- He's not getting any of my money. - He's dangerous.

- Jan! - Dad! What the fuck happened?

Energreen is screwed.

If we could get someone to file bankruptcy for them, then it will come out.

You haven't seen these documents. I could be fired.

This is the real financial statement.

- Did you talk to Vestsjælland Bank? - No, why?

You're so full of shit. Do you realize how dangerous that is?

Vestsjælland Bank has filed bankruptcy for us. We have until 12:00 to pay.

There have been too many stories, Alexander.

Knud, I'm begging you. Don't let this happen.

I'm afraid to say that there's been widespread fraud in our company.

He just fucking sacrificed us! On live television!

It sounds like a subpoena.

There's a crazy assassin after us, and you're acting like everything is normal.

Lina! Lina! For fuck's sake!

- Please step away from your computers. - A search warrant for all your offices.

It's been six days since Denmark's biggest corporate scandal began -

- when Energreen was declared bankrupt a month after the firm's successful IPO.

The police haven't pressed charges, but the Chief of the Financial Police says -

- that there is no doubt that massive fraud has taken place.

Energreen's bankruptcy sent shockwaves throughout the financial world ...

- Mads, where is Claudia Moreno? - She's still at home.

- Let us go in. - No. We need to them at the same time.

- Who the hell are we missing? - Sødergren. He's out running.

- Skov has been desperately calling around. - Let's go in now. For christ's sake, Alf.

- Sødergren is back. - Sødergren is back. We're going in.

Good morning. Police. We have a warrant to search the premises.

We'd like to have you come into SØIK to answer some questions.

My son just came home from Paris. Can't we wait?

- Hi. - Police. We'd like to talk to your dad.

Dad, the police are here.

- Dad! The police are here! - Yeah, yeah. I'm coming.

Alexander Sødergren? We have a search warrant.

Okay. Sit down.

- There's coffee in the pitcher. - No thanks. We don't drink coffee.

Of course you drink coffee. I won't shred everything while you drink it.

I'd just like to eat my breakfast.

Dad!

Dad's running in the garden.

FRAUD, or FOLLOW THE MONEY

- We need the password to your computer. - I think you need to talk to my lawyer.

- Then maybe you can call him. - A moment, Sweetie.

It's not very nice when strangers come and rummage through your home.

- You can't destroy anything. - We'll be careful.

- This isn't part of the search. - We were just talking.

My lawyer will meet us at SØIK, and then you'll get the password to that computer.

- You don't need to be here anymore. - Who's going to take care of him?

That doesn't concern you at all. I'll take care of it.

- What happened to you, Ulrik? - The police are looking for me.

I ran away.

I don't know where to go.

The police were here, too. But they're not here now.

Don't you think you should go home?

I can't.

- How am I going to look Karin in the eye? - Karin is tough.

- You're going to get through this. - What about my girls?

What am I going to say to them? How the hell will I explain it to them?

Sander, tell me it's going to be okay. Tell me that if this goes to court -

- you'll promise to say that it was your idea.

That it was my idea?

Ulrik.

You've committed fraud for millions of kroner.

That's a very serious crime. You can't run from it.

Well .... I did it because you ...

Listen to me. You're not going to get out of this. No.

Try to act like a man for once.

My client has nothing to say.

Are you sure about that? You're looking at 3-5 years behind bars.

Isn't it a little early to talk sentencing?

Your client knows what we have on her. She signed all of it.

Accounting fraud for hundreds of millions.

Price manipulation, inflation in the IPO prospectus. These aren't small things.

It's still up to a judge.

What about your son?

- I can't see how he's relevant ... - It's not you I'm asking, okay?

Five years is an eternity to a child. How old will he be?

12 years old. I couldn't live without my children for that long.

- He'll be a teenager when you come out. - What do you want me to say?

Tell us what we don't already know. Why are you covering for them?

This started long before you became a part of the company.

- Give us Alexander Sødergren. - Or what?

- Or we'll drive you into the ground. - Are you threatening my client?

We'll get Sødergren no matter what. The question is, will you help us?

I'm not stupid. I know that the police don't make deals with suspects.

We can make indictments disappear. I promise: if you help us, we'll help you.

- Yeah, but I don't know anything. - You have to make a charge.

Thank you.

We lost Ulrik.

- What does that mean? - He's gone.

How did that happen? We had surveillance on him and then you let him get away?

Claudia.

- Where have you been? - I've been here.

- I've texted and called ... - The police are watching our phones.

I need to be careful.

I understand. It's a bit difficult right now.

Yeah. Yeah. The police rummaged through everything at home.

They went through my phone. They confiscated my computer and ipad.

I just needed you. I've missed you.

Thanks.

How is Bertram doing?

I don't think he really knows what's going on.

Just try to be here. Just for a moment.

Sander, I need to know what the plan is.

- What plan? - I haven't said anything about you.

We have to coordinate what we're going to say, so we don't contradict each other.

- No. - No? What do you mean?

We can't save each other.

I'll do what I can to pull myself out of this. You do the same.

You don't need to think about me. Just save yourself. Hey, hey, hey.

You know how crazy I am about you.

This is how it is now, and this is how it needs to be.

- You need to say something! - I don't want to talk about it.

- I need to know what the doctors are saying. - They're not saying anything.

"They're not saying anything". What about your legs? Can you feel them?

- I'm meeting the doctors tomorrow. - Okay. What time are they meeting?

- I'm going to it. - Stop it!

- Yes, I'm going to it. - It's at 9:00.

Alf, it's me. Yeah, I'm on the way. See you at 8:55.

Lina?

Lina?

- It's Jan. - She isn't here.

She hasn't been here, either. She'll come back tomorrow.

She just needs to get it out of her system. You know how she is.

That's bullshit. She shouldn't be out there while he's out there.

She'll come back tomorrow. She's like her mother.

Ah, there he is. See you later.

- What's up? Is it Ulrik? - He just used his access card.

Ulrik?

Ulrik Skov?

Ulrik Skov?

We just want to talk to you!

Ulrik?

Ulrik Skov?

- Can you take the stairs over there? - Yeah.

Ulrik?

Alf!

- Here. Suicide note. - Two children. What was he thinking?

No matter how much shit you've done, that isn't the solution.

We've received the test results, and it's difficult to say anything for certain.

We don't know if it's going to be permanent.

How do you feel?

Under the circumstances, I feel fine.

She's going to walk again, right?

That's hard to say.

- You must fucking know something ... - We're training you gradually.

We've increased the medication. We're going to start rehab soon.

- We can only wait. - I want to go home.

I can understand that, but I'd prefer you stayed.

It's important that you're under observation.

So ... Listen.

You come by the house anyway. You're together, so ...

- Mads, could you bring Kristina down? - Yeah, I sure can.

What was going on with you and him in there?

You need to give me an explanation, Kristina.

We're not together anymore.

- When did that happen? - Not now. Okay, Mads?

Alright.

- Why didn't you say anything? - Because I ... because ...

I just don't want to talk about it now.

I'm here, Kristina.

I want to go home!

Did you really do all this?

- Did you talk to Bertram? - To Bertram?

Should I say that his mother might go to prison for a couple years?

This isn't just a couple years.

Your Finance Director committed suicide. Aren't you talking to the police?

- About what? What should I say? - Anything that can help you.

What about Alexander Sødergren? He isn't mentioned here.

No, but ... They don't have anything on him, either.

No, but is he innocent?

Well?

- Why are you protecting him now? - Should I stab my boss in the back?

He's not your boss anymore. If he's involved, it's his fault you're in this situation.

You're not indebted to him. On the contrary.

If you have something on him, use it. It could make your situation better.

- This isn't just about you. - I'm thinking about Bertram, too.

Steen, I think about him all the time.

- Hi, Sweetie. - Hi, Dad.

Hey, you. You slept a long time.

- Can we play FIFA? - Not right now. I'm talking to Mom.

But I can't play. My iphone ran out of power.

Alf?

Do you think she changed her mind?

I'm not innocent. I've done what I've done.

But I did it under others' orders.

- Who asked you to do it? - Alexander Sødergren did.

- Do you have evidence of that? - I have my testimony.

- Would you go to court with that? - If that's necessary, yes.

Okay. We just need to talk about it. We can get back to you tomorrow ...

- You said you could drop the charges. - Possibly ...

Listen. If we're going to make this deal, this is how it's going to be.

You don't prosecute me for price manipulation and the shell companies.

You can easily do that. I came into the firm late.

In return, you get Sødergren. It's simple enough.

- What's left for you? - You still have me for fraud.

That could get me 1.5 years, that I want to serve with an ankle bracelet.

- Ah. It wasn't that little. - Those are my demands.

- You need to answer within an hour. - You'll get an answer right away.

- Are you sure about this? - Yeah.

You've exposed yourself. They'll drag it out of you in court without a deal.

Yeah, but that guy Mads ... the only thing he wants is to nail Sødergren.

- He'd rather make a deal now. - You're gambling.

I know that.

If you have what you're saying, then we can make a deal.

- Okay. I just want it in writing. - You'll get it.

Can you come here at 3:00?

- Mmhmm. - Excellent.

- In three hours we'll get Sødergren. - That's damn good!

You're going to get a beating, man!

What did you really have to do with that bankruptcy, Mads?

- Not much. I nudged them a little. - Nudged? What does that mean?

- Nothing that could be discovered. - Are you sure about that?

I'm not an idiot. Otherwise, we'd never have gotten the man behind it.

Sødergren.

- You seem rested. - I am.

- Now it's a matter of what's coming. - Agreed. I need your help.

- What can I do for you? - Take the blame for the fraud.

And take your punishment.

I've always watched over you, and I'll still do that.

But the Financial Police aren't going to settle for Claudia Moreno and Ulrik.

- Ulrik is dead. The police found him. - Yeah. I read that.

Imagine him leaving his family in the lurch that way.

The police want you. The press is starting to rummage in the subsidiaries, too.

If they keep digging, your name will pop up.

Mine will, too. If that happens, I can't help either of us.

How can you help me if I'm sentenced?

Energreen is just a small part of the big picture.

You want to be a part of that picture. You'll be compensated. Name an amount.

I'll take my chances. I'm not going to prison, Knud.

- Not after all I've built. - You haven't built anything.

You've undone what I've created.

- That stops here. - I didn't give you a choice.

I gave you an order.

You'll hold a press conference. Explain what you've done.

That you were behind it all.

I'll compensate you and make sure that you have something when you get out.

- Understood? - Yeah, understood.

- Fuck, you're stressed. - You're just cuddling with that dog.

You've been sitting there all morning.

She isn't going to come back because you're running marathons in the courtyard.

Can you just shut your mouth?

- There! It's her. - You shouldn't be so paranoid.

Where the fuck are you? Well? I've been so fucking worried.

Are you worried about me?

I want the money. If you want to see your girlfriend and child alive again -

- you'll come with it. Tonight. Understood?

I'll send you the address. And you'll say nothing about this to anyone.

- Is she coming, or what? - Uhh, yeah.

- Did you get a hold of her? Nicky? - He has her.

He kidnapped Lina and Milas.

He needs the money, or he's going to kill them.

- I'm bringing it right away. - We need to talk first.

- No, we don't. It's your daughter. - You can't just give him the money.

- It's my girlfriend and my son. - We'll bring it together.

We're not bringing it together. You're staying here. Okay?

I want to express my deepest regrets to all those people -

- who were affected by Energreen's bankruptcy.

I would like to emphasize that my dream was always pure.

I still think that -

- wind is the best for the world and also a good business.

Has there been fraud at Energreen? Yes.

Was I involved in it? No.

- He doesn't know we're talking to Claudia. - He's smarter than that.

I have always thought that this project could be about more than earning money.

Maybe we should take questions.

Who was involved in the fraud? Is it only your CLO and CFO?

I have no idea how deep it goes, but you could ask -

- if one could make these business structures -

- without anyone from the Board knowing.

If I were the Financial Police, I would look at those subsidiaries -

- that the press has identified. There was something in southern Spain...

That was Malaga Wind.

I knew nothing about all these businesses before you began writing about them.

Caroline?

- Yes, Hr. Christensen? - Print everything out from this ipad.

Then call a taxi. I'll change in the meantime.

Evidence of Sødergren's complicity in the creation of the subsidiaries.

- Is his name on the contracts? - No, not directly.

But Sødergren's own companies acted as middlemen in the transactions.

- It's good you've come to us. - I regret that it's only now.

The last week has been a nightmare for the Board.

We're still trying to understand how this could have happened.

There were many bad apples in the boardroom.

Alexander Sødergren just declared his innocence.

If only that were the truth. The papers here tell another story.

- We really appreciate this. - I'm at your service.

Hello.

What's up? Do we have Sødergren? Is that crazy, or what?

Sødergren mentioned Malaga Wind and some other subsidiary.

- Can you look at it? - Let's start with what we just got.

- I think we should start with Malaga Wind. - What are you thinking?

That there's something we've overlooked.

I'm sorry, but it doesn't look like we have a reason to make a deal.

- We've already discussed the terms. - We don't need the information.

- We have what we need on Sødergren. - You can't do this.

- I'm really sorry. - No. You're not sorry.

I could have left it alone, right? Isn't that what you're thinking?

You don't know shit about me.

I know you have a child who's going to pay dearly for what you've done.

Thank you.

We have Moreno at Sødergren's house.

Sander, the police have evidence against you.

- How? - Hr. Christensen.

I didn't think he would dare.

- Claudia, we have to get away from here. - We?

- Yeah. - I thought we were going to save ourselves?

I'm sorry if that hurt you, but it was the truth.

Now the situation has changed.

- Now we can't escape a sentence. - You want to run away?

I can get us out of the country. Together. To a place where they can't reach us.

Sander, I can't. I have a son!

Bertram could come along. But it needs to happen quickly.

While we still have a chance, before the police can react.

I tried to sell you for a deal with the police. I'm sorry.

You don't need to apologize. You don't need to apologize for anything.

The two of us, we're stronger together.

Two seconds.

- Yeah? - We need to leave the country.

Okay. I need to sort out something first.

We need to move quickly.

It will be quick.

You don't need to be nervous. He's coming soon.

Anything else would be stupid, right?

See?

He's cute.

Has it been nice moving to Paris with Dad?

Maybe it could be really nice to see another place.

If Mom were going to move somewhere, where would we move?

- I don't want to move anymore. - You'd still see Dad, okay?

- I want to live at your place and Dad's. - Yeah, but ...

You promised to move to Paris. I'm going to show you my new school.

You're doing the right thing.

- Promise you'll take care of him. - You're not going away. Right?

With the deal you made with the police, you'll only get an ankle bracelet -

- and then you can be with him as often as you usually are.

Right? It's going to be okay.

Hello.

- I hope I'm not interrupting. - No, I was finished.

We've opened the case against Sødergren, and we're grateful for your help.

It's my duty. But surely you didn't just come to thank me?

No. Sødergren mentioned something interesting at his press conference.

- Did he? I must have dozed off. - He mentioned Malaga Wind.

We've traced the trades that inflated the value of that firm.

We came across a monster.

- Is that right? - Shell companies behind it.

On the surface, they have nothing to do with Energreen.

- But do they? - Should I answer that?

Maybe you know those firms. It doesn't hurt to ask, right?

Some had addresses in Liechtenstein. Do you have any firms down there?

It's been a long day. I'm tired now, so I must ask you to leave.

- Your name is going to come up. - Thank you.

What will you do against the truth?

The truth is that I've done more for this country than you can imagine.

Jobs, exports, goodwill all over the world.

All that was built on a lie. It's not your money that you lost.

Vestsjælland Bank lost 200 million kroner -

- because you sold them a lie. And farmers have lost their money.

What do you know about Vestsjælland Bank?

Have a good evening.

The rusty door to the left.

Where are they?

Give me the money first.

Are you okay? Are you okay, Honey?

It's 12 million.

Okay.

Lina, just go all the way down and get in the car.

Get in the car, I said!

Now we're going to settle the account.

The account?

We ran a great risk storing that money.

We exchanged it and took care of it, so we should be compensated.

Compensated?

We keep two million, which leaves ten for you.

Then we're even, and none of us needs to tell what we know.

Two million?

You're greedy.

So we are.

Okay.

You get two million -

- but then you need to do one more thing for me.

It also involves your wife.

I was just on the way to work.

Let me know if there's anything I can do for you, okay?

I'm sorry.

- Sorry? - I know you don't want me to say it.

- I know I've been ... - Kristina, it doesn't matter.

No, it matters. I've hurt you so badly. Yet you come here anyway.

You help me and comfort me and do everything at home.

I don't deserve any of it.

I can't do this anymore. You're not going to sacrifice yourself for me anymore.

You're not going to be my nurse. You deserve more than this.

- What if I don't want more? - Please don't come here anymore.

You don't need to be here. I don't want it! Please go.

Go!

- Yeah? - Claudia Moreno left home.

She just picked up Sødergren. They're on the way to the airport.

If they're about to leave the country, take them into custody. Now, Alf.

- What are they doing now? - Don't you ever buy licorice?

They're leaving now. We're right behind them.

- Anything new? - We're on the way to the airport.

What are you waiting for? If they have plane tickets, you should take them now.

We'll take them at the next exit.

Okay, let's stop them here.

Police. Who the fuck are you?

- What did we do wrong? - Who the fuck are you? For fuck's sake!

- Did we drive too fast? - It's fucking not them!

Just stand here.

- What do you mean? - There's two young people who -

- say they got 1000 kroner for driving Moreno's car to the airport.

- You should have followed that car. - I realize that, Mads, but ...

Thanks.

We'll go to Frankfurt, and then fly from there.

When we're out of Germany, the police can't do anything.

- I found a really beautiful place. - Okay.

I promise, you'll see Bertram again soon.

We're ready.

Okay.

You may be mad, but that was funny when they put the sirens on, right?

You're a frigging idiot. First kidnapping and then this.

You look mega-sexy in this. Seriously.

You look like an upper class bitch with that on. I was totally afraid of you.

- Stop that. - Look. That is sexy.

Say something sexy. Say something sexy.

I never heard you say so much shit as when the police questioned you.

- I was good, wasn't I? - A little good.

Only a little.

Sander, it's Bertram.

It's best if you don't take it. The police can trace it.

I can't. I need to get out.

I need to get out. I really want to get out. Let me go!

There, there, there. Stop the plane.

Stop.

- Hello? - Is this Mads Justesen?

You're talking to Claudia Moreno.

- I'm on the way home. - Okay.

I know you're going to arrest me as soon as I come home.

- You're going to stop that. - You're wanted.

I know. I'll come in, but I need ten minutes with my son.

- I can't promise you that. - Yes, you can.

- I just need ten minutes, okay? - Fine. No more.

Moreno is on the way home. Tell them I'm going to get her.

Where the fuck have you been?

- Bertram has been calling you. - Steen, I didn't get any deal with the police.

I'm being charged.

And I have ten minutes before they come and pick me up.

I'm really, really sorry.

You have to promise me that you'll come and visit me, okay?

- Steen? Promise me you'll visit me. - Yeah, of course we will.

- Mom! - Hi, Honey. Hi.

- Mom ... - Yeah.

You weren't there when we got up. I need to show you my drawing.

- Go to Dad, Sweetie. - Come here.

Come.

See you.

We're going to take good care of your mom.

What the fuck happened? Where have you been?

- I had to sort some things out. - What did you have to sort out?

- You've been so secretive. - I bought Jan out of the garage.

- I don't want to look at him anymore. - What's this?

That's what's left. It's a million.

The Swede kidnapped Milas and Lina. I had to buy them free.

No, you didn't.

You paid ten million for them? That was my money, too!

Seriously, fuck you!

You think you're so smart. You're a fucking idiot, you are.

Fuck you and your shit money!

That million is mine.

That's good. Take it.

- Fuck you, Nicky! - What now?

Don't you think I would have given my share for Lina and Milas?

That's a fucking lot of money to pay for a friend's girlfriend and kid.

But I would have done it.

- Sorry. - That million, we'll split it.

I'll use my half on ladies and parties, and you're not going to get involved.

- Fine. - Yeah.

The garage, we own half each. And Lina and Milas ...

I own 50% of them, too.

Can't we just say that you'll come over for dinner 50% more?

Maybe. Fuck!

- Come on. - You push like a girl!

- Is that a deal? - Yeah.

Mads, can you just come in here? Sit down.

- We're closing the case. - Sorry?

I'm closing the case against Sødergren. There won't be any more investigating.

What are you talking about? We have a source on the Chairman of the Board.

It can't be done, Mads.

Sure it can. I talked to him. Christensen is the kingpin.

Can you tell me what this is?

Those are copies of confidential material from the Energreen case.

Vestsjælland Bank used these papers to declare Energreen bankrupt.

Every copy machine leaves an invisible fingerprint.

- What? - You made those copies.

On our copy machine. How did they end up at Vestsjælland Bank?

- I don't know what you mean. - They gave them to Christensen.

He threatened to go to the press.

If that story gets out, that SØIK has sought a bankruptcy -

- then the whole case is destroyed. Then we're destroyed.

Do you understand how serious that is, Mads?

I gave you this case. Without me, you wouldn't have gotten anywhere.

- Alf would still be sitting in there. - Do you understand what this is about?

Now you're letting the guilty go again. So ... they sit there smiling at us.

They're pissing on people's lives. They don't care at all.

They clean out ordinary people, and you don't care.

I'd like to ask for your badge. Now.

Are you firing me?

Take your shit.

I was the one who did it, Nanna.

- I beg your pardon? - I gave the copies to the bank.

- Could you please repeat that? - I did it. Are you going to fire me?

- Mads, you can go now. - I'm staying here.

Go. Out!

Well ... I have plenty of time.

Cleaning up?

Yeah, I just had to ...

- I'm sorry, Alf. - It's fine. I'm not fired.

- Oh! That's good. What I said ... - You were right.

You're right, Mads. We wouldn't have had a case without you.

Here. Take your shit.

Why is it called the Financial Police when we don't go after the kingpins?

- I'll help. - I'll do it.

Go to the hospital. Visit your wife. Buy some flowers.

- Do something. - Yeah.

Thank you, Alf. Thanks.

Mads?

Kristina ...

- Are these clothes all yours? - Yeah. What are you doing?

Listen. You're not going to decide if I'm going to take care of you.

- Is that yours, too? - Yeah.

Okay.

Then we're going home, and we'll take it from there.

Hey! Mads? Kristina? What's going on?

- I'm driving my wife home. - You can't, unfortunately.

- She'll come in for the tests. - Listen, Mads ...

Is it illegal or something? Well?

- You can't let him do it. - I'm in a wheelchair.

He captured me.

Do you think you could ever get tired of this view?

In my experience, one can get tired of most things.

You're always so positive.

The government started an auction on the wind projects.

Offshore. Along the coast.

They have 7,500 kilometers of coast line over here.

Do you realize what that means? The possibilities there?

Hello?

I understand.

Are you sure about that? No, it's no problem.

I'll get back to you.

Okay. Right now their turbines produce 5 gigawatts, but they want up to 20 ...

Yeah. It's done.
