DR PRESENTS

The West Zealand Bank has declared us bankrupt.

I suspect extensive fraud in our company.

That sounds criminal to me.

Please step away from your computers.

A search warrant for all your offices here and abroad.

Are you truly guilty of all this?

- Have you talked to Bertram about it? - What do you want me to tell him?

That his mother might go to jail for a few years?

Why are you covering up for them?

You weren't acting alone.

We know that it began long before you started.

Give us Södergren.

We can't save each other.

I have to do my best to get out of this jam and so do you.

Don't think about me.

Take the full blame for the fraud at Energreen,

and take your punishment.

I'm going to take my chances.

- What is that supposed to mean? - That I'm not going to jail, Knud.

I'm afraid we can't strike a deal with you.

I can't do this. Let me off! Let me out!

I know you're going to arrest me, and I'll come along peacefully.

Just give me ten minutes with my son.

Lina, just keep walking.

We keep two million.

OK. Then do something for me.

- What's up? - Who the fuck are you? It's not them!

I bought Jan out of the garage.

We share the million and the garage.

- What's going on? - I'm taking my wife home.

- Mads... - Is it against the law?

I've done more for this country than you can imagine.

How do you think West Zealand Bank feels about losing 200 million

because of your lie?

We're closing the Södergren case.

We have a lead to the chairman.

- No, it stops here. - It's not possible, Mads.

Their turbines generate 5GW, but they want to reach 20.

It's done.

18 MONTHS LATER

The national bank is adamant about defending the Danish krone.

Here is what the chairman of one of Denmark's major banks,

Nova Bank, had to say:

No, I'm not worried.

Money is still flooding into the country.

After the interest was lowered last Thursday,

DKK 41bn has poured into Denmark.

We're sure the Danish krone will survive.

- Hi. - Hi.

- This is for you. - For me?

Seriously?

I don't need it anymore.

ENERGREEN'S HEAD OF LEGAL FOUND GUILTY

CEO ALEXANDER SÖDERGREN WANTED BY POLICE

- Any news? - Not a damn thing.

You know what? Maybe she's waiting for him to contact her.

Did she apply to leave the country?

Yes, to go to Paris. She wants to visit her son for a week.

- Now what? - We continue.

- We continue? - Yeah.

Continue what?

Have you talked to Nanna about it?

She's served her time, Mads.

Yeah, but she's on probation.

Claudia will contact Södergren or vice versa.

I'm sure of it.

FOLLOW THE MONEY

We can't get a warrant to tap her phone.

Obviously, they'll contact each other.

Södergren is wanted by Interpol.

Wouldn't they know if he made a move?

Apparently, Interpol is useless.

Do you think so?

Nanna, listen.

Over 200 million kroner are unaccounted for by Energreen.

- You can't pass this up. - I'm afraid I'll have to.

Claudia Moreno's phone will not be tapped.

How is the De Koenig case going?

We just got the auditor's report.

Alf and I will go through it this week.

- It looks like tax evasion. - That sounds interesting.

Riveting.

Did you order a latte?

Could we have three cappuccinos?

Three cappuccinos? Coming up.

Fucking cappuccinos!

- Let me take over. - Thanks. This is really hot.

Sweetie, you and Dad are coming tomorrow.

At 10, right?

I can't wait to see you.

I have to go now. Bye.

- Should I go back in? - No, they're fine.

Was that your son calling?

- Yes, it was. - Do you have a picture of him?

This might sound strange, but I haven't had a phone for ages,

so I don't have any pictures. So, no.

Right.

Excuse me.

- Your name is Mads, right? - Yes.

- Justesen? - Yes.

- Can I help you? - I need to you to look at this.

What is it?

My bank adviser screwed me over. It's all here.

Your bank adviser? Listen, did you talk to your local police?

Yes, I talked to everybody.

No one will read this or listen.

That's why I'm here. This is the fraud squad.

- How much did he take you for? - My company. It's all here.

- How big is it? - It's a one-man business.

A carpentry business. It's gone now.

It's all here.

I'm sorry, this is the fraud squad.

We only take cases involving millions or billions.

They promise us the world.

We get bank packages, so we feel safe.

But that's not how it works.

My bank adviser cheated me.

- Just look at it! - Take it easy!

- Just look at it. - This is how it works:

Contact your local police and take it from there.

- Just look at it. - Have a nice day.

Sorry.

- What the hell? - Don't mind me.

Watch where you're going.

Excuse me, did one of you drop this?

It's mine.

We're closed.

Did you hear me?

- You can't buy anything. - That's not why I'm here.

- Are you Claudia Moreno? - Who's asking?

My boss.

- He wants to talk to you. - And who is your boss?

Come with me.

Were you surprised?

Tell me how you're doing.

At liberty?

Yes.

It's better than being locked up, I can tell you.

You tried to do the right thing.

That is, with Energreen.

We were all seduced by Sander.

- You didn't know what was going on? - No!

Not until it was too late.

You don't believe me.

I don't really know what to believe.

No, I see your point.

I put off taking action...

or intervening for too long.

Have you got a new job?

Law firms aren't queuing up to hire a lawyer with a criminal record.

- And the café? - It looks good for the probation service.

And I have to make a living.

It makes me angry, to be honest.

A gifted lawyer like you shouldn't be making coffee.

It's a waste of talent.

I'd like to give you a second chance.

Doing what? I've been disbarred.

One thing at a time.

The main thing is that you come back to us.

It's about Ulrikke Bondesen.

I think you know her from university.

I'd like you to contact her.

- And then what? - One thing at a time.

Contact her, and then we'll meet again.

Welcome home.

Kristina?

- Mads, wait. - What is it?

- We have a visitor. - Who is it?

He says he knows you from work.

Albert, go to your room.

OK.

- What's your name? - Hans Peter.

Listen, Hans Peter.

You can't be here. Contact your local police.

I know. I've been told several times.

I tried several times, but they won't help or listen.

I told your wife.

This isn't up for discussion.

You can't be here. I want you to leave right now.

Please look at these papers, it would mean...

Out!

- I really need your help. - It's not our department!

- Get out of my house right now! - I'll go now.

I'm sorry if I frightened you and...

He startled me.

It's OK. I understand.

What did he say?

All kinds of things.

That his wife had been sick,

and that his bank adviser forced him into bankruptcy.

The bank adviser's family had cheated him, so he went bankrupt.

It didn't make much sense.

He also said...

...he was afraid he'd do something stupid. He said so several times

What was the bit about his wife?

I don't know.

ULRIKKE BONDESEN - PROMOTED

PROMOTED AT ABSALON BANK

...the bank is headed by Mogens Absalonsen's children,

Amanda and Simon.

Yes, we're eating soon.

Look what I have.

Entrecôtes.

- Where did you get them? - I bought them.

- When? - Today.

And for the kids I have...

How about giving me a kiss?

Good idea.

It's lip gloss.

Good.

Send them to me.

- And this? - No, keep it.

You'll need it.

Here's the money.

- Well done. - Thanks.

What?

Nothing.

Have a nice evening.

I'll be right in.

What?

- Does he have to come here? - I had to give him something.

But we have guests.

And he's footing the bill.

I know, but he gives me the creeps.

Honestly, Nicky.

We won't meet here again.

All right? Let's go in.

Jesus! You're early.

Yeah. Are you familiar with Nova Bank?

What do you mean by familiar?

Are they dodgy?

You have far-out theories about most things.

No. It's the biggest bank in the country. I think they're well-respected.

You know the guy I told you about?

The one who came after I talked to Nanna?

- The confused guy? - Yes.

He came to our house yesterday.

- To your house? - Yes.

He was in a state. He left all these papers.

What are they?

I don't know.

Hans Peter has a carpentry business and a loan in the bank.

His wife gets sick, he's behind on the interest,

and he says that his adviser promised him three times...

What's it called? An exception?

- An extension. - An extension.

Suddenly the bank cut him off,

and he lost everything and went bankrupt.

He lost his wife, too.

What a sob story.

Yes, but there's something odd.

The bank adviser's brother.

What about him?

Guess.

How should I know? He had an affair with the wife?

No, you read too many women's magazines, Alf.

The brother is also a carpenter.

And he took over Hans Peter's order book.

- So? - The bank screwed him over.

The bank cheated him.

OK. Maybe. And now what?

I think we should talk to him.

You said it wasn't our department.

I never said that.

Shall we?

You have a terrible memory.

This is it.

Are you looking for Hans Peter?

Yes.

Mads Justesen and Alf Rybjerg. Police.

I can let you in. I have a spare key.

We're neighbourly around here.

This is where he lives.

But I haven't seen him since the day before yesterday.

He picked up some papers.

Did you talk to him?

No, he hasn't been himself.

He went bankrupt, you know.

Alf, come and take a look.

What is it?

It's a letter or a draft.

"I've tried everything. I wish there was another way.

"Sometimes, when people won't listen,

"you have to take matters into your own hands."

- Someone's early. - Hi.

- Thanks for a nice evening. - Likewise. Was it a late night?

- Not really. - You're late.

- As CEO, I'm allowed to. - You're crap.

- You bought new trainers. - I picked them up at the post office.

- Fuck, they're nice. - Yes, don't you think so?

- Check them out. - Limited edition.

There's extra support in the heel.

How much were they?

They weren't expensive.

I think they'll make me fast.

Bimse, I have to talk to him.

The Swede?

Did you ask him about it?

There hasn't been time.

Come on. He might need an extra guy.

He's not the type that trusts people.

Put some pressure on him.

He knows we're buddies.

- I'll ask him. - Yeah?

Thanks.

Cool. I'll ask him.

Hey.

Open it.

The little one is the transmitter.

And here's the microphone.

- Get it? - Yes.

You hide the transmitter.

It's important that it has enough space.

- I got it. - Listen.

This is important.

The receiver is an app on this.

Test it before you leave.

Here is the address.

Use the card to access the back entrance.

OK.

Good. Out!

I have a question.

No questions.

Out!

What did he say?

He said...

...you're in.

- All right. - I'll need you to stand guard.

- Cool. - Thanks, Nicky.

No problem.

But only if you finish your work.

I'm the CEO here.

It's 50-50, right?

- I'll help you after I've changed. - OK.

- Hello? - It's me.

- Come in. - Thanks.

- Hi, Claudia. - Hi, Steen.

- Where's Bertram? - He's in the car.

I wanted to talk to you first.

Can we sit down?

Sure.

Well, the thing is,

even though he visited you in prison

and you've seen each other a few times,

this is a radical change for him.

Of course, but we agreed on today.

Yes, but I want you to be prepared.

Things might be different now.

Obviously, Steen. I know all that.

If there's a problem I'll deal with it. Can't you just go and get him?

I'm not saying this to make you feel guilty.

- I'm trying to help. - Stop it, Steen.

I'm his mother. I'll deal with it.

- I can do this. - I'm not explaining this very well.

Here's the thing...

He doesn't want to come up.

He doesn't want to see you.

That's all I'm trying to say.

If he seems angry or upset, you know why.

So... that's the way it is.

I'll go and get him.

Yes. Fine.

You're good at this. Thanks.

- There was money on the table. - That's a tip. It's yours.

- Thanks. - Can I see, sweetie?

- Could you get those plates? - OK.

Thanks.

- Hi. - Hi.

I'm glad you wanted to meet.

Shit, it's been ages.

This is nice.

I'm glad you're not angry with me.

OK.

It means a lot to be forgiven when...

I understand.

We were all seduced by Sander.

By the whole thing.

I wonder where Sander is.

Don't you?

- Don't you think about it? - No.

Can I ask you something?

You know Ulrikke Bondesen, right?

Sure. Why?

I need a job, and she has connections.

Do you mean at Absalon Bank?

They're fond of her.

She heads their Aarhus branch.

And she's the staff representative on the board.

Absalon Bank is the new big thing.

What?

Fair enough. The outside world moves on.

- We don't use the telegraph anymore. - Christ, aren't you witty?

And mobile phones already existed, didn't they?

Yes, Absalon Bank is all the rage.

No fees.

It's fair banking. They don't play the market.

And they got 10,000 new customers in under a year.

I should have invested in it.

How well do you know Ulrikke? What's she like?

You're not going to ask her for a job, are you?

Yes, of course I will. Why?

It's just...

Are you up to something?

- I'm just asking. - Are you asking on behalf of someone?

- You're up to something. - Hey...

- All I did was ask you a question. - But who's asking?

I am!

What?

Who's asking?

Christensen is.

Are you shitting me?

- Claudia, you can't work with him! - It's not a big deal.

Not him!

He was behind Energreen. He sent you to prison!

- Don't you think I know that? - Then what?

- How can you even consider it? - It's hard to get a job with my record.

Yeah, right.

- Wake up, Claudia. - Jens Kristian...

How many did you buy?

- How many pairs of shoes? - Five.

- Five pairs. - Five pairs?

We have to have dinner now if I'm to eat with you.

- What's up? - Nothing. Just...

Nothing?

Something for the Swede.

Come and sit, sweetie.

If you're working for the Swede, it means no secrets.

I promised Bimse he could come.

- Bimse! - Yeah.

- What if he fucks up? - I know, but he's really upset.

Bimse is really nice, but hopeless.

He's my friend. I promised him.

He'll just be my lookout. Nothing will go wrong.

You shouldn't have promised him just because he's your friend.

That's stupid.

- Hey. - Hey.

- Bimse... - What?

I'm sorry, but I've just talked to the Swede, and you can't come.

- What are you on about? - Next time.

I'm late, so I have to go.

- Fuck! - Take it easy!

- I'm sorry! - I've saved your arse, Nicky.

I know. I said I'm sorry.

Are you finished?

I know things. Don't forget it.

Don't you fucking threaten me!

Keep your mouth shut or you'll be in real trouble.

This is Hans Peter's Carpentry. I can't answer the phone right now.

Leave a message, and I'll call you back.

Hey.

- I'm going to bed. - OK.

When are you coming?

I don't know, honey.

Are you working on Hans Peter's case?

Yes. Alf and I went to his place.

He wasn't there, so we've instituted a search.

It feels like I've missed something.

Something will turn up.

Do you think so?

- Go away! - Stop it. Stop kicking me.

Bertram, stop!

Bertram, stop it!

Stupid Mum!

We can't call Dad again.

Why not?

We've called to say goodnight five times already.

Go away, stupid Mum!

Sleep tight.

- You'll see Dad tomorrow. - Go away!

He's coming to pick you up.

NOVA BANK RUMOURED TO TAKE OVER ABSALON BANK

What tournament are you going to?

It doesn't matter.

- Is it a cake tournament? - Cake?

That's what it's called.

Where big and little kids compete.

What are you talking about, Claudia?

"Claudia"?

Are you too big to call me "Mum"?

Excuse me.

Hi. Can I help you?

I'd like to talk to Amanda or Simon Absalonsen, please.

- Do you have an appointment? - No.

OK.

I know they're busy, but it'll only take five minutes.

Tell them it's important and that I don't mind waiting.

- And your name is? - Claudia Moreno.

Have a seat. I'll let them know.

Thank you.

- Hey. - Did you get hold of it?

Get hold of what?

No. I mean...

- Did you do it? - Are you OK?

Did you do it? Did you install it?

Yes. Here's the receiver.

It works. It's all good.

- Shouldn't you see a doctor? - I'm not gonna see a goddamn doctor!

Shit!

Hey, hey!

Fuck!

Help! Man down here!

- What happened? - I don't know.

Did you find him like this?

He had an accident. I think he passed out first.

Quickly now!

Take him to the trauma ward.

Are you OK?

- Yes. - Do you know him?

- Yes. - Are you related?

Yes.

- I'm his son. - OK, come with me.

Weak pulse. 48.

- How about his saturation? - 83.

Kasper Eriksen?

I need to talk to him. He usually sits over there.

He isn't in today.

He had to take his son to the doctor's.

He'll be here tomorrow. You can come back then.

He won't be back today?

I need to talk to him.

- Not till tomorrow. - It's important.

I see, but he has the day off.

OK.

I have to talk to Kasper Eriksen.

I don't think you heard me. I have to talk to him now!

He isn't in today.

I can call him if...

Stand up.

Do you have a phone?

Come on.

Give me the telephone.

Give me the telephone. Now! And yours.

Hurry up!

Phones! Hand them over, everyone. Everyone on their feet.

That goes for you too!

Sit down!

I have to talk to Kasper Eriksen.

I have to talk to Kasper Eriksen!

He isn't here today.

Shh! Quiet!

Don't worry. Nothing's going to happen.

Take it easy. I just have to talk to Kasper Eriksen.

Stand up.

What's your name?

Helle.

Helle? OK.

Take it easy. Come over here.

Pick up the phone. Come on.

Pick up the phone. Look at me.

Nothing's going to happen. Take it easy.

Stay seated, everyone, OK?

Call this number. It's a reporter. Call it, OK?

That guy you put out a search for yesterday.

Station 3 found him.

- Where? - At a bank.

- A bank? - In the north-west area.

Take it easy. There's no cause for alarm.

Hey! Is there a basement?

- Yes. - Where?

That way.

Get up, everyone. Go to the basement!

Move it! You too.

Sorry.

Are you OK? I didn't mean to knock you down.

We're colleagues. Who is in command?

He's over there.

Mads Justesen, fraud squad.

Fraud squad? What are you doing here?

We're investigating your hostage taker.

- What do you want? - To talk to him. I know why he's here.

We know why he's here. He told the media what he wants.

What does he want?

He wants the Danish press here, so he can tell his story.

- And what did you say? - No.

As long as he has hostages, no one can go near it.

The media has to stay away.

- Who is the negotiator? - He's on his way.

Hey. I think I can talk to him.

Even if you were Bruce Willis, I wouldn't let you near the bank.

We're keeping our distance. We're waiting for our negotiator.

- But I know him. - That's the way it is.

You wanted to talk to me?

- Hi. Claudia Moreno. - Simon.

Could we talk somewhere more private?

This is fine.

I've heard that interested parties want to take over your bank.

Yes, it happens sometimes. We're not interested.

No.

But this time, it'll be different.

- This time? - Yes.

Are you sure you don't want privacy?

Quite sure.

Two days ago,

a leading businessman asked me to spy on an employee of yours

who is also on your board.

And who are you and why are you telling me this?

Let's just say that I have a personal interest

in not wanting him to take over your bank.

Who is the leading businessman? Can you tell me?

Not unless I become a consultant.

I know how he operates.

Please come with me.

I know how unpleasant this is,

but it's a good thing you brought him in so quickly.

Is he OK?

The procedure went well.

He's had several heart attacks.

You saved your father's life.

They're not doing anything!

This could take ages, Alf, you know?

We can't wait that long.

I'm sure he'll listen to me. I'm going in.

- Will you cover me? - What? That's a fucking bad idea.

Hans Peter?

Hans Peter?

Who is it?

Who is it?

Mads.

The officer you talked to the other day. Remember?

Yes. I'll only talk to the press.

You came to my house and met my wife.

I'll only talk to the press.

Listen to me. You can talk to me.

No, I tried that. It's no use.

You can't demand press time.

The police won't let the press in.

I want the press to hear my story. Why can't I talk to them?

It doesn't work that way. Listen.

They don't listen to terrorists or...

I'm not a terrorist!

- Hans Peter? - Yes?

Alf, I'm busy.

The swat team has arrived. It looks like the marksmen are in place.

Tell them I'm in here.

I will.

Hans Peter?

Listen, I've just talked to my colleague.

They're ready to storm the bank.

If you let them go, we can talk.

Your case will be investigated. Can you hear me?

Hans Peter?

Yes.

Let's agree that you let the hostages go now.

All right? Deal?

Do we have a deal?

Deal.

OK.

Just leave. It's all right.

Go, go! Get going!

Straight ahead!

Hurry!

Hans Peter?

- Hans Peter? - I'm coming up now.

OK.

Shit!

Listen. Let the woman go.

- I'm not an idiot. - Let her go.

- Let her go. - Drop your gun.

OK, I'm putting it down right here.

- Kick it over here. - OK.

I'm sorry.

I'm just as nervous as you are.

Hans Peter, let her go.

Put your rifle down, just like I put my pistol down.

Put it down.

Let her go!

Tell me what you know.

Put the gun down. Come on.

I put mine down. Put down your gun.

- You have to, Hans Peter. - I can't!

Tell me what you know about my case.

Look at her, Hans Peter.

I talked to your neighbour, a woman.

I promise to look into your case.

- Tell me what you know. - You're not a hostage taker.

You're an ordinary man.

You're a master carpenter.

Put the rifle down and let her go, Hans Peter.

All right?

Tell me the details of my case. OK?

OK. I know that...

- Just tell me. - Stay here!

Amanda?

Wait here, please.

What is it?

There's a young woman we have to talk to.

- I'm in the middle of something. - That's possible, but this is important.

You can have five minutes.

Good.

Have a seat.
