Congratulations!

I was taken hostage. They want three million dollars.

No! Wait, Bo.

- Are the police involved? - No. But I'm not here as a policeman.

I am your daughter and have sold everything to get the ransom together.

But we're half a million short.

Take it easy. You can have my watch.

Wagner?

What are you going to do?

Is the police officer dead?

- Yes, he is. - He was supposed to find my mother.

She's been gone for a month. He said he could find her.

They might take my father too.

- Why would they do that? - They say he killed my mother.

The policeman is stupid. He promised to find her.

What are you doing?

- Just doing some training. - At six in the morning?

Yes, I still can't sleep.

You haven't slept so well since you came home.

Maybe you should talk to someone.

We've talked to a trauma psychologist.

It was only an hour. He just gave us information.

- Yes, but I feel good. - We were lucky.

Yeah.

- But we paid a high price. - But we have each other.

That's the most important thing.

Should I stop shouting when you come home late?

- It's really annoying. - Of course I'm pissed off.

You were meant to get the twins at eight. You're 20 minutes late!

- I got the book from my customers. - You didn't need to do that, Dad.

- What are arguing about? - That I ruined his day.

Yes, because I didn't know when you were coming.

- You are so fucking fussy. - Who the hell is fussy?

Thanks for nothing. - Bye, Baldur.

- Who is Baldur? - Some Icelandic musician she met.

When she's not studying with Mikkel, or chatting with her friends.

Don't look at me like that. It was she who was late.

And now she's going to Innovation School in Chicago.

- It's awesome, Torsten. - But why? She's studying medicine!

- She needs a break from studies. - She's only been there a year.

- Can I borrow your Berlingo? - No, Anne has it.

- Damn it. - Why?

- What the hell do I do? - Stand up.

- What is it? - Nothing.

- It was like seventeen. - Leave it, Dicte.

Whose is it? Is it yours?

Wow! Have not you said anything to Anne?

It looks to me that you have not. What a cool car.

Anne is going to kill you.

It's a symbol of freedom and the need for eternal life.

- Okay. Give me the keys. - No. It's my car.

Hi, Anne. I'm here with Torsten and his Thunderbird.

Where are you going?

Were going to see the Mølgaard family in Knebel.

Henry, Tina and the kids: Nanna and Jens.

They were at the autumn party a month ago.

Henry went home with the kids and Tina partied on.

Her sister drove her home at ten past eight.

She left her 35 metres from the family's house.

- Since then nobody has seen her. - Did she not enter the house?

What have you got to do with it?

Wagner promised his daughter to find her mum

- And I can't break his promise.

- Is everything good with Bo? - I don't know.

I'm worried about him. He doesn't talk about what happened.

He may not think it's necessary.

- It's idiotic. - Obviously, he has had a hard time.

He was taken hostage. It's probably post-traumatic stress.

- Give him some time to settle. - I want him to talk to somebody.

- He can talk to me... - Don't pressure him.

I think it's there.

Hi. My name Dicte Svendsen and I'm a friend of John Wagner

-who is investigating your wife's disappearance.

- I would like to ask some questions. - Come in.

Thanks.

So they called off the investigation because they thought that Tina went skiing somewhere?

But Wagner didn't?

He thought it was odd that she didn't take out any money-

- And that her mobile was switched off. Coffee?

Thanks.

- So she has never run off before? - Yes, plenty of times.

I said that to Wagner. She had a temper.

- But she always came back the day after. - Could something have happened to her?

People here think I did something to her.

Did Wagner think so?

He was most interested in the evening when she disappeared.

Yes. Were you at an autumn party?

And you went home earlier?

Did you not hear her that night?

I slept in the other part of the house with my daughter.

She's a bit scared of the dark.

- So you heard nothing? - No, none of us did.

So Tina disappeared on her way home from her sister's?

What do you think happened?

Police have been looking everywhere and asking people.

But no one has seen or heard something.

But maybe she went in and packed-

- And left me for real this time.

It felt strange in there.

If I lived here, I would have left too.

- Hello. - Have you found my mother?

No sorry. Not yet.

- Was that... - Yes.

I need to go pee.

- Hi. - Hi.

Sea air - gets right up your nose.

- Do you want something? - Two wheat beers.

- Sorry. You can have two normal beers. - That'll be fine.

Was it you who were looking around at the Mølgaard's place?

News spreads quickly here in the country. You know, of course Tina disappeared.

Tina was a good person but didn't really fit in here.

But she tried anyway.

- How was she? - A little more fast-paced than most people here.

- She was often the last to go home. - Did she not like being at home?

She probably didn't know what a real home was.

Her father was not one of God's best children.

She had her problems at home. With the husband.

She became increasingly lonely and unhappy.

I don't know. She might have thrown herself into the sea.

- Then she'll be hard to find. - Are you the police?

No, not really. How so?

Because you talked about Tina, just like the police.

Have you talked with Wagner? What did he want?

To buy fish, or rather to see how I packed it.

Is there plaice? Then we'll take a few.

Certainly.

- What did he say? - He smelled them.

- They smell of nothing. - No.

- I cry all the time. - So do I.

Yesterday I was about to call him twice.

At the funeral there was a girl who said she knew Wagner.

Her mother was gone. Do you know the case?

- Those cases are handled by a different department. - Could Wagner have looked into it anyway?

If so he did it on the sly. You usually do not interfere in others' cases.

Excuse me. Can you?

Excuse me.

- Hey, Nina. What are you doing here? - Working.

- I thought you were an actor. - I'm a police officer originally.

- Wagner never said. - That doesn't surprise me.

- What are you doing here? - I. Uh...

I think he was investigating a disappearance.

A woman who disappeared a month ago.

- Tina? - Exactly.

Why are you interested?

- He promised to help her daughter. - And now you want to do that?

- Yes. - I want to show you something.

Follow me.

- Is this the Tina Mølgaard case? - Do you want coffee?

Yes thank you.

- Here you go. - Thanks.

- Did he have any free time? - It was usually like this.

Even when we were married. But then I was part of it.

- So you worked together? - Yes.

Until I broke down there. Have you seen the Post-It?

It must be for you. Do you understand what he means?

I grew up in the Jehovah's Witnesses. Tina did also?

- No. - Have you read the investigation?

Briefly. Do you want to take it with you?

John seems to have wanted to talk to you about this. You can take it.

Yes.

I want to go back...

and beat up the fucking pigs.

The bastards took over 4 million of my friends' money.

- It's only money. - No.

It's my friends and family's savings.

They have lost their plans and dreams.

I have to get back into it again, Steffen. I'll go nuts being at home.

You still came home with a good story.

If I offer you some money-

- To write about what happened.

No I don't want to.

Maybe... 200 000

Come in.

- Hi, Dicte. - Hi, Bendtsen.

I emptied our desk and found some tapes, and a voice recorder.

- It might help you. - Thanks.

Wagner requested a forensic analysis of the ashes in the Mølgaards' stove.

- Why? - Something important may have been burned.

- Such as? - Tina Mølgaard.

So Wagner thought that Henrik killed his wife?

Otherwise, he would never have worked on the case.

What did they find?

Traces of straw, newsprint and some rubber.

- But no skeletal remains. - Rubber? I read about it.

The rubber mats from the boot of Henrik Mølgaard's car are missing.

- So if he got rid of the body... - Maybe he had it in the boot.

- Do you want to take some plaice with you? - No thanks.

What's up? Is it all just crap?

I don't know what to do.

He was my partner. Now he's just...

I've asked for a transfer.

It's not a good idea, Bendtsen. There must be others that you're close to?

No, unfortunately not.

I want to go to Copenhagen. I need a fresh start.

Ask Bendtsen to inform the press about the Mølgaard case.

She should use Henrik's photo of Tina where she looks good.

If they do write something, we'll call in Dicte.

- But only in an emergency. - Right?

The sister mentioned a quarrel that evening.

There's no mention of it in the previous interrogation.

The sister's called Sabine.

The sister mentioned a quarrel that evening.

- Hi Darling. - Hi.

What are you working on?

It's one of Wagner's cases. I owe it to him to clear it up.

- You owe him that? - We co-operated, of course.

- And we were close. - You miss him.

Yes, I miss him.

- Where have you been? - At work.

You didn't say anything. Did it feel good?

- Yes, it was fine. - Should we go to bed?

I must finish this tomorrow.

- Then I'll go to bed. - Okay.

Maybe you should also go to bed. With me.

No, I need to finish this.

And the cell itself was extremely warm in the daytime.

Sizzling hot. Even at night.

But time was all a blur. It was hard to get a handle on it.

It was hard to get a handle on everything.

And when you tried to escape you lost a friend and colleague.

Would you tell us about that?

Johan and I tried to escape.

Johan was wounded, but I managed to get to him.

We ran and they shot at us.

And unfortunately, he was hit and I was captured.

- Hi. - Hi, Steffen. - Hi.

Can I talk to you, Bo?

Are you sure you want to do this?

- You said I needed to talk about it. - But not with the whole world.

It's a chance to make some money out of this.

- Why should you? - You shouldn't get involved.

I'm doing this my way.

You and your sister are very similar to each other.

Everyone says so. There were only 12 months between us.

She's the youngest. Or was.

You told Wagner about an altercation earlier that night.

Yes, at the autumn party.

- She fell out with Henrik. - Do you know why?

He wanted to be sure that she would go home.

They were always fighting at parties.

You said you thought Henrik killed her.

- Why do you think that? - He's crazy.

He decided everything for her. Last year, he forced her to have an abortion.

And he used to beat her. I've seen it.

Were you there?

- Why did she leave him? - They had a strange relationship.

He said he loved her, but he doesn't know what it means.

And so Nanna often came here?

Yes. She should not be alone with the killer.

- Hello. Is Dad home? - He's out hunting.

- Is your name Jens? - Mm-hmm.

My name is Dicte. Sorry if I'm disturbing you.

- Sorry about your mum. - Tina was not my mother.

- Was she not? - No, just Nanna's.

Do you know what they were arguing about that night?

No, I don't know.

- Is that Dad's car? - No, that's his there.

- Can I look in the boot? - The mat is missing.

- The police officer also asked for it. - What did you say?

Dad threw it away.

What's up? Anything new?

You didn't say you were arguing that night. What was that about?

Tina had difficulty distinguishing between children and adults.

What does that mean?

She thought Jens should drink shots, so I went home with the children.

And then she came home drunk and you continued the fight?

- Did you hit her? - I was asleep. I've already told you.

- But you've beaten her before. - And she beat me. We argued frequently.

- You forced to her to have an abortion? - She couldn't handle any more children.

What does that have to do with anything?

Have you burnt the mats from the boot of the car?

- It smelled of fish. - The fish here doesn't smell.

It does, if you've been fishing. Let me know when you have something new.

Hi. My name is Tonni. I'm packing up some things.

I found some hand cream. Where's Wagner?

- I don't know. - You can have it.

- Thanks. - It is completely full. Bye.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Good luck in Copenhagen. - Thanks. It was nice knowing you.

Come back if you change your mind.

- Thanks. - Okay.

You can too, Louise.

What was the hardest thing?

It may sound strange, but the hardest was coming home.

- Hi. - Hi.

I just talked to the broker. He was furious.

He said you tried to cancel the deal.

- Why did you do it? - You love the house.

So I withdrew my pension.

I've paid back Rose and Eva and my children.

And I talked with Torsten about the cottage.

Are you going to pay back everyone? It's not possible. It's a lot of money.

I need to be able to look people in the eye and not owe them anything.

But...

Hello, Christian. That sounds nice, but now is not a good time.

See you. Hi.

Who was that?

My biological father. Christian Oxholm.

I thought you didn't like him.

I don't, but I contacted him anyway when you were gone.

He asked if I wanted to come.

Have you borrowed money from him?

Yes, well... In the end, he helped.

- How much? - 15 000.

- Okay. Call him back. - Why?

Tell him we will come.

So you sell cashmere clothes for children?

Yes, I'm crazy about small sizes.

My mother sewed clothes which were really not cashmere.

- Well. - Shall I help you?

- Do you read detective stories? - Not so much.

You must have liked what she did. Otherwise you wouldn't be sitting here.

True. But you certainly had something to do with it. Thanks.

You and Dicte established an agreement, I know, but I want...

- To pay the money back? - Yes.

I understand that. I myself have never borrowed a penny.

Good. Give me your account number so I can put the money in tomorrow.

- Really? Are you sure? - Yes. 15,000. I can get it together.

Is that what she told you?

- Bo! Hello! You can't just go. - Do you know how embarrassing that was?

I owe him a half million.

- 500 000 kroner. - Sorry. I should have said.

I owe all this money. You can't believe how horrible it feels.

No, but I get to hear about it on the net.

- You should be happy to be alive. - Should I be happy?

- And grateful? For everything you've done. - Me?

Yes, you've sacrificed everything, and saved my life.

I just want you to love me.

It's hard to believe, when you cry every night.

You're sorry I even took Wagner from you.

- It's also my fault. - Bullshit.

Wagner was an adult and knew what he was doing.

It's not him I'm crying about. It's you.

I'm fucking worried for you and for us two.

And you don't even want to talk to me.

No, you make me feel so guilty all the time.

- Stop. Can you not stop? - Let go.

- No. Stop now. - Let me go.

Bo...

- Thanks for having me. - You can come whenever you want.

Hi, Eva. It's good that he's with you.

Don't worry about it. Just let him sleep.

Nina, can you help me?

The first picture is from the official police report-

- And the other was sitting on Wagner's wall. What's the difference?

I'll explain. Here, the police have drawn a circle with a radius of 5 KM

- On the site of the disappearance. The area has been searched with dogs.

This is a subjective map, as John always did.

Here you mark the suspected secure points.

Killers often hide victims in places where they feel safe.

Do any of the places suit Henrik?

Yes, this is the school where he taught.

And there's the inn, the church and a scout cabin.

- What was he doing there? - The son is a scout.

He drops him off and picks him up there.

Is there no place that sticks out to you?

I grew up in the neighborhood, but...

- Here's the camp. - Can you zoom in?

As a child, I was there at the camp with the Jehovah's Witnesses.

That's what he says. But what does he want to ask about?

You may know if there is any place where you can hide a body there.

The scout camp is located outside the police search area, so they haven't been there.

Why are you not back in the crime squad?

You can't go straight back in after seven years in Hollywood.

- But you want back in? - Hell, yeah.

Dicte! I can't go anywhere now. The kids are sleeping.

- I can drive myself. - No, I love that car.

- It's my car. - Okay, then I'll tell Anne.

- Hello. - Why are you here?

- We... - Where are Erik and Axel?

- They're sleeping. - Whose is the ugly American car?

- It's Dicte's. - Yes.

- Is it yours? - It was second hand and cheap.

- Are you going for a ride? - Yes.

- But... - They're sleeping like logs?

Look how nice it is inside. Give me the key.

Are you really looking for a body? I thought we were just going for a ride.

It's much smaller than I remember it.

Come on.

- Can not we call some adult? - We'll just look.

- It is not used anymore? - Yes, but only in the summer, I think.

Check this out. It's the girls' dormitory.

But surely he wouldn't hide a body indoors?

- Why not? I have high heels. - Come on now.

What was that?

And now it's snowing too.

Damn it. It's just a stack of wood.

- Not a damn thing. - Let's go home.

Come on.

Wait.

Look. D stands for Dicte. I carved it when I was 14.

Then I thought that life would be a bed of roses.

How are you doing?

When Bo came home, I thought everything was over-

- And that we would be happy. But he has it so tough-

- The shame, guilt and bad conscience.

I don't know how to help him.

- What is the black over there? - That's the lake.

We scared the smaller children by telling them it was bottomless.

"If you go in you will never come back out."

- Anne, it might be there. Come on. - No, Dicte.

- I don't like this. - Come on now.

Is there something there? Check.

Hold this.

Stop it for Christ's sake. Do not go out there.

Dicte! There is something there. A little further out.

What is it?

Oh no!

Nina? I think I found Tina Mølgaard.

Wagner was right. She's out by the scout hut.
