DR PRESENTS

- PREVIOUSLY - A man's here. He says he knows you.

Please look at my case. It would mean...

It's not our department! Get out of my house now!

I'll leave.

I'd like to give you a second chance.

The most important thing is that you come back to us.

Why are you telling me this?

Let's say that I have a personal interest

in not wanting him to take over your bank.

And who is this leading businessman? Can you tell me?

Not unless I become a consultant.

I'm sorry. I talked to the Swede. You can't come.

I know things. Don't forget it.

Don't you fucking threaten me!

- Help! Man down here! - Hurry!

You saved your father's life.

- I want to talk to Kasper Eriksen now! - The bank screwed him over.

Tell me what you know.

Albert, put your shoes on. You have to go.

This is all wrong. You said so too, Kristina.

If you don't do it, they'll take disciplinary action.

They'll drag you through what happened in that bank.

Analyse every move and go over it again and again and look for mistakes.

You have to give an interview. Get it over with.

Yes.

They won't ask anything you aren't prepared for.

Speak in short sentences and don't use technical terms.

Then you'll be fine.

It's important to stress that he was mentally unbalanced and dangerous.

Understood.

You were lucky that he turned out to have been in the psych ward.

That's because his wife had just died.

- He was grieving. - Yes.

But it strengthens your argument.

- We're ready. Are you? - Yes. Let's go.

I can't do this!

I can't discredit the man.

He wasn't crazy. He approached me because he was desperate.

Listen to me.

You entered the bank without permission,

and a man was shot. It's very simple.

Either he was mentally unstable

and you risked your life for the hostages,

or he had a solid case

and was shot due to your unwarranted interference.

- I can't go in there and lie about him. - Fine!

But know this:

If you don't tell a story where you're the hero,

your police career is over.

Investigating officer Mads Justesen,

did Hans Peter Knudsen contact the station?

Yes, but we had to turn him away.

- But he didn't leave it at that. - No.

Later on, he turned up at my house and was hostile towards my family.

He seemed mentally unstable.

Hostile in what way?

The matter is still under investigation.

- Why do you say mentally unstable? - No comment.

- Did you watch it? - Some of it, yes.

It wasn't a fraud case.

What do they mean when they say it wasn't a fraud case?

- The man was cheated. - We don't know that.

We threw him out. We didn't listen to him.

Then he does something desperate, and we bad-mouth him!

Jesus Christ!

You're right.

I have to find out if Hans Peter was swindled.

- I'll talk to his bank adviser. - Stop it, Mads.

What if he was swindled? Then what?

- Then we'll clear his name. - But he's dead!

Yes. Exactly, Alf.

He's dead.

FOLLOW THE MONEY

I'm told that this is your desk.

OK.

Where is Simon?

He's in a meeting. Those files are for you.

- Hi. - Hi.

You got some reading material? What do you think?

I don't understand some of it.

A purchase offer is voted on by the board but not the shareholders?

- Yes, according to our by-laws. - That's old-fashioned.

Perhaps. But isn't it to our advantage?

Yes, if you know your board when the offer from Nova Bank comes.

I do. But there's an election to the board in a month,

so who knows?

We'll have to see if we can get Christensen to make his offer now.

But that isn't up to us.

We could spread the rumour that you had an offer you're considering.

From a large foreign investor. Nameless, of course.

I feel obliged to tell you that

we follow certain ethical guidelines.

Of course.

I didn't mean...

But you need to fight back to avoid a takeover. That's all.

Yes. Obviously.

Isn't your sister going to be on TV today?

She's a guest on "Finance".

We'll take advantage of it.

When Amanda and Simon Absalonsen took over Absalon Bank from their father,

it was a savings bank suffering under the financial crisis.

Now, three years later, the bank has shown impressive growth.

Amanda Absalonsen, what do you do differently?

We started a new type of bank.

It's based on crowd-banking. Or shared economy.

How does it work?

Let's say you have money, and I need to borrow some.

Why use a bank? We just need to find each other.

So, our bank provides loans

by letting customers borrow from each other

at higher interest rates and almost free of charge.

It sounds like you're dissolving yourselves as a banking business.

Yes. That's what we want to do.

You want to...?

We want to teach people that they can demand more of their bank

and use it differently.

This has caused major banks to call you scabs.

What's your reaction to that?

Clearly, they're afraid. We're challenging them.

Traditional banks shouldn't continue to rake it in

on the savings of ordinary people.

After all, the banks didn't save up all that money.

In conclusion, your bank is increasingly popular.

It's rumoured that an international company...

Here it comes.

...might become your principal investor. Is there any truth to that?

That's true. There's an interested party.

Have you been made an offer?

- I can't comment on that. - Are you considering selling it?

I can't comment on that either.

- Thank you, Amanda Absalon. - There we go!

- You can't get past me. - Yes, I can.

- No, you can't. - Yes, I can.

Can I help you?

- I'm looking for Kasper Eriksen. - That's me.

- What for? - Police.

I was present in the shooting at your bank.

I'm sorry to hear that.

- Are you OK? - I'm fine.

- Do you have a minute? - Sure.

- I have to talk to him, Malthe. - Yeah.

I want to clarify what led to the shooting incident.

You and Hans Peter had a conflict, didn't you?

Yes, he called me.

And he wrote aggressive e-mails.

I knew he was angry with me,

but I never imagined...

What was the conflict about?

He was angry about going bankrupt.

- Anything else? - He was unstable.

He was angry with the world.

He claimed that you gave his order book to your brother.

Did you?

I just...

What is this really about?

It's standard procedure. A man was killed.

- Did your brother get the order book? - No.

- You were about to say something. - No, nothing.

- No. - Let's be clear.

Your brother is renovating Hotel St. Jacques, right?

- I have no idea. - Don't you see your brother?

Yes, but he has lots of different customers.

- Thanks for your help. - You're welcome.

Malthe, let's go inside.

Hey.

- What day is it today? - Tuesday.

They operated on you a few days ago. It was successful.

I just dropped by to see how you are feeling.

I brought you some snacks and water.

Thanks.

- I still have this. - Keep it.

I can't have it in here.

I can deliver it to someone if you want.

That's not necessary.

- I don't mind. - That's not necessary.

OK.

I'll let you know when I need you.

Go now.

Get well soon.

I have a delivery.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

It's from Nova Bank.

Let's go over and talk to Amanda.

How much are they offering?

290 kroner per share. That's 65% above the market price.

- That's 2.3 billion kroner. - Shit!

- I'm almost tempted myself. - Tempted by what?

The offer from Nova Bank came.

Fuck!

In what way are you feeling tempted?

It's a hell of a lot of money.

What would Knud Christensen do to our bank?

Stop it. I'm not saying we should sell. But the board won't reject it offhand.

Toft and Rasmussen will agree to it.

- Høegh will too. - Even Jørgen will advise us to sell.

I can talk him out of it.

Who are the other three members?

Amanda, me and Ulrikke.

- Ulrikke will tip the scales. - Indeed.

Without shares, what's to tempt her?

What did Christensen want with her?

She must know a lot after all the years she's been here.

Yes.

Most companies have weak points.

Sloppy accounts or private matters or something.

Our accounts are open books.

Is there something you don't want people to know?

- What are you thinking? - I'm thinking that Christensen

either wants information from her or wants to buy her vote on the board.

We trust Ulrikke implicitly.

If she votes to sell, you're finished.

- So what do you advise? - I would test her.

- Put out a feeler. - I can call her.

She won't tell you if she's cut a deal with Christensen.

No, but why would she make a deal with him?

He asked me to contact her.

Yes. Claudia, what would you do?

Well... I can make her an offer and see if she takes it.

She doesn't know I work for you.

If she's loyal, all the better.

She'll never know you tested her.

Do you have reason to doubt Ulrikke?

Do it.

I'll take responsibility for this.

- So I contact her? - Please do.

OK.

Hey.

- What was that? - A wire-tap.

A wire-tap?

Who is it?

It's confidential.

OK.

We have a garage if you feel like helping.

Sure thing.

- Does it need a new exhaust? - No, new brake discs.

Can't they make these screws bigger? Damn prissy French!

- I hate Peugeot! - I can do it.

Fix that shit.

Nicky...

Who are you wire-tapping?

- A bank. - A bank?

Are you going to rob it?

No, it's a bit more complicated.

You're so fucking full of yourself.

To tell you the truth...

That's all I know.

He doesn't tell me a damn thing.

OK.

Fine. I'll take it from here.

Hello?

Are you Hans Peter's son?

Yes.

- I'm Mads. I'm with the police. - I saw you on TV.

Right.

- I'm sorry... - What do you want?

- I'm investigating your father's case. - Don't. I mean it.

- Why not? - It was a load of shit, and he's dead.

It was all he could talk about for a year.

I couldn't stand even visiting him in the end.

No one could.

Your father felt he was treated unjustly.

- He felt that no one would listen. - I listened.

Everyone did for a while.

What if he was right?

- About being swindled? - Don't you understand?

- My father was nuts. - I don't think he was.

Didn't you say so on national television?

Didn't you bad-mouth him on TV? What the hell are you up to?

- I want to help. - Are you an idiot?

Don't you understand what I'm saying?

Hi, Ulrikke. Saw you on Facebook. Been a long time.

Would you like to meet over a glass of wine?

Love, Claudia.

Message sent.

- Hi, Steen. - Hi.

I just wanted to hear how Bertram is doing.

- He's fine. - Good.

- How was the tournament? - It went well. They got third place.

- Well done! - Yes, but he isn't very pleased.

- Do you think he'll talk to me? - Yes.

Sweetie, it's Mum. Bertram.

Do you want to talk to Mum?

Bertram?

- Do you want to talk to Mum? - Not right now. I'm playing a game!

Sorry.

- It's OK. No pressure. - No.

He'll come around.

Right.

- Thanks, Steen. Sleep well. - You too. See you.

- I'm going to bed. Are you coming? - Not yet.

You've hardly slept for a week. What's going on?

- I'm working on Hans Peter's case. - I'm talking about you.

I'm fine.

- Did you see the crisis psychologist? - Stop it, Kristina.

You have to talk to someone about it.

What happened in the bank?

An innocent man was killed. That's what happened.

- But what happened to you? - His adviser screwed him over.

He gave Hans Peter's order book to his own brother.

- Yes, that is unfair. - So shouldn't I crack down on him?

- You should. - Good. I'll be in later.

- Kasper? - Yes.

Hi.

- Have a seat. - Thanks.

Can you explain this?

You promise to help Hans Peter,

but three weeks later, you shaft him.

What made you change your mind?

He couldn't pay, so I couldn't extend his credit.

But it says here that you promised him.

You told your brother about the hotel order, didn't you?

- No. - You let Hans Peter go bankrupt.

It wasn't my decision. My superior ordered me to do it.

- Do what? - To move him to a different pool.

So your superior told you to let him go bankrupt.

I tried to argue his case to management.

I fought to extend the credit I had promised him.

Why wouldn't they let you?

That's all I have to say.

Then you'll be charged. I'll be in touch.

Excuse me!

I think I can be of help.

Can this stay between the two of us?

It depends on what you have.

We can't do it here.

Come to my house tomorrow morning.

- Bimse, I have to go. - Where are you going?

- I'll come and finish up later. - Later?

- They want it this afternoon. - They'll get it.

I thought we both worked here!

You're never here.

I'm sick of covering your arse.

- I'm borrowing this. - Where are you going?

Never mind.

See you.

Fuck!

I want you to keep an eye on someone.

Who?

Here's his address.

Park somewhere discreet.

- What am I looking for? - Who he talks to.

Who comes and goes.

Update me when something happens.

- Anyone special I should look for? - You have the information you need.

- I'd do a better job if I knew more. - Take this car.

It's in the lot.

Claudia?

- Hi, Ulrikke. - Hi.

- Good to see you. - You too.

Long time, no see.

- I heard that you were... - In prison.

I'm trying to move on

and get my life back on track.

- You're at Absalon Bank. - It's great!

I work too much, but I like it.

I've been there.

This will sound strange, but I have to ask you something.

I had a hard time getting a job, but now I'm at Nova Bank.

- Really? - As a kind of consultant.

And you know they want to take you over.

Yes, but we're not interested.

But it will happen no matter what.

Listen.

Knud Christensen has his eye on you.

He heard what you did with your branch in Aarhus.

He'd like you to be in charge of the merger.

What do you mean?

Nova Bank will offer you a top job as soon as Absalon is acquired.

- We won't sell. - You will.

You can move things along by voting for it at the board meeting on Friday.

How do you know about the meeting?

We have our sources.

I'm not interested.

OK.

Let's have another bottle. I don't want to talk shop.

Sounds good.

Now he lives with his dad in Paris.

I hope he'll live with me again some day.

He will. Just give him time.

I don't even have a husband yet.

- All I do is work. It's ridiculous! - True.

Will we really be taken over?

I think so.

Pick up!

- Yes? - It's me. Someone's here.

- He's driving a blue Saab. - OK.

And the owner just went inside.

- Yes? - He came out again carrying a folder.

A folder?

It's a blue folder that he gave to the other guy.

Now he's going back to his car.

Is he carrying the folder?

- Yes. - OK.

- Should I follow him? - Yes. Don't lose him.

OK.

- Alf, it's me. - What's up?

- I stopped by the adviser's house. - OK.

He gave me papers from the bank's management.

- Will they be of any help? - Maybe.

He was very nervous.

I'll be in the office after...

- Damn! - What?

Mads?

Hang on a minute.

What's going on?

What's going on, Mads?

- I'm being followed. - OK, who is following you?

It's a black Audi.

- Plate number? - YX...

...52 345.

- Got it. - Good.

Where the hell...?

Hey! Stop!

FRAUD SQUAD

Fuck!

Fucking shit!

Shit, shit, shit!

Fuck!

Did you see his face?

Hoodie, 20-something and faster than me.

He took the bank adviser's folder and he stole my fucking wallet.

Was it meant to look like a robbery?

I found this.

A receipt?

I think it fell out of his pocket.

- Did you run the plate? - It's from a stolen '99 Mazda.

Jesus!

So you abandoned the car that I lent you.

He ambushed me.

- There was nothing I could do. - How could it happen?

It was a mistake. He was on to me.

He's a police officer.

I attacked a police officer.

- It sucks! - I'm glad that you told me the truth.

Change the plates and your clothes as soon as possible.

When you've done that, I have another job for you.

27 Sigridsvej, Hellerup.

There are things that must be removed from that address.

The travel documents on the table in the bedroom.

OK.

Who lives there?

I do.

- Did you talk to Ulrikke? - Yes.

- Did she accept the offer? - No, she didn't.

Of course not.

But it was my impression that she could be persuaded.

- What did she say? - It wasn't so much what she said,

it was just my impression.

Yeah? Perhaps we should do something after all.

- Like what? - I'd get her off the board at once.

You two are far out.

Do you have a better suggestion?

How about taking it easy. Ulrikke hasn't done anything, has she?

Ulrikke hasn't done anything.

No, but Claudia says she can be persuaded.

Do you trust her more than Ulrikke?

No. We just need to be careful.

Ulrikke has been nothing but loyal.

And this one was found guilty of fraud.

- Amanda... - What's up with you?

- Are you into girls now? - What?

What?

Do you have brothers and sisters?

- No. - Good for you.

Let's leave it at that for now.

- Mummy... - Hang on.

Hi, honey.

Daddy's home.

- Isn't that my job? - Yes, if you'd come home on time.

- Hi, Ulrikke. - Thanks for a lovely evening.

Thank you.

- Are you in the middle of something? - Not at all.

I've been in a tizzy since we met.

I thought about what you said.

Yeah?

I'd like to talk to Christensen.

OK.

But... what should we do?

The board will vote tomorrow.

I'll find a way to get her off the board.

Not just off the board.

We have to fire her.

- Is that necessary? - She's going behind our backs!

We trusted her and gave her a career!

- I know you have, but... - But what?

You lured her into your trap.

Bring her here and I'll talk to her.

Your legal position will be compromised if you tell her that you duped her.

What I talk to my employees about is none of your concern.

No, we'll take it from here, Claudia.

Do you want some of mine?

Who do you think did it?

Someone who is covering up for the bank.

Hans Peter was a bigger threat than he realised.

I should have listened to him.

You did your best.

No, I didn't.

Would you please tell me what you're thinking?

If I had listened to him, he would never have gone to the bank.

He chose to go there with a weapon.

It wasn't your fault.

Yes, it was.

- Morning. - Good morning.

There.

- See you. - Have a nice day.

- Bye, sweetie. - Bye, Mum.

I didn't have the heart to wake you up after you finally fell asleep.

- What are you doing today? - Seeing my doctor.

- Your doctor? - She did some tests and wants to talk.

- You didn't tell me. Aren't you better? - Stop it.

Do you want me to come?

No, you have plenty on your plate.

- Find out who whacked you on the head. - Yeah.

Good morning and welcome.

First of all, Ulrikke Bondesen is no longer in our employment.

So welcome to Nina Foldsager from Customer Service.

She's the new staff representative on our board.

The first item is a purchase offer from Nova Bank.

Who are you? What are you doing in my father's house?

Your father's?

Hi. I work for him.

As what?

Nicky.

As his right hand.

He asked me to pick up some things.

How is he? I'm going to see him.

Better. He's awake.

It's still up and down, but he's better.

Do you have a car?

Yes.

- Can you drive me there? - Sure.

- Now? - Yes.

Do you see your father often?

I haven't seen him for a year.

I've been busy.

- Thanks for the ride. - No worries.

Don't forget the watch.

- What? - The watch.

Right.

Hi, Simon. What's up?

All is well. It was voted down.

I'm glad to hear it. Great!

Yes. Thanks for your help.

You're welcome.

- See you. - Yes, see you later.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Hello? - Hi, it's Ulrikke.

- Can I come up? - Yes, come on up.

- Hello. - Hi.

- What's new? - I was fired.

You're kidding!

Shit. I'm sorry to hear it.

I want to talk to Christensen.

Yes.

I want to speak to him myself and meet with him.

There are things I want to tell him about Amanda.

About Amanda?

- Yes. - Like what?

She's not capable of running a bank.

It's totally irresponsible.

Alf, Kasper Eriksen was fired.

Mads...

The bank used his brother as an excuse to fire him.

We two need to talk.

Nanna, you don't attack an officer unless you have...

It's not important now.

- I know who attacked Mads. - Have you found him?

- A credit card purchase... - Don't go any further with that case.

It's caused enough problems already.

Someone at Nova Bank is trying to hide something.

It's a major bank. What if you're failing to see a major fraud case?

I have an investigator who nearly had disciplinary action taken against him.

He's impetuous and acts like an idiot. I agree.

But let's talk to the driver of the Audi

and find out who he works for and what they're hiding.

You can fire him afterwards.

Tell no one about this.

- Deal? - Deal.

Yes.

Do you have the receiver?

Deliver it to someone.

OK.

- Who to? - Don't be so nosy.

He's just a middleman.

Do you have something for me?

Yes.

Thanks.

You were saying?

She referred to something specific.

And she said that you running a bank was irresponsible.

Would Ulrikke talking to Christensen be a problem?

We wouldn't be in this situation if it wasn't for you.

Why test Ulrikke?

She would have voted no today.

If you have a secret that Christensen shouldn't know, tell me what it is now.

Amanda was a cocaine addict.

It was very serious.

She goes to meetings now at Drug Addicts Anonymous.

No one knows about it.

Amanda had a relapse a few weeks ago.

She took an overdose and was hospitalised,

and unfortunately, Ulrikke witnessed it.

Give her some hush money.

Severance pay plus a few million.

You can't be serious.

I think you misunderstood. We're not like that.

You're a hierarchical bank.

Your shareholders trust you implicitly. If this comes out, you're fucked.

How would it help? Ulrikke can still talk.

Yes, but I'll draw up a non-disclosure contract.

Right. Good. That's what we'll do.

You drove an Audi with stolen plates yesterday.

Sit up.

Who asked you to take that drive?

- What Audi? - A black A7.

I didn't drive it.

- Me neither. - What do you know about Nova Bank?

- I have an account there. - Don't be flippant.

Do you know how we deal with little boys who attack the police?

Do you?

I haven't done anything. I swear.

You had a pepperoni pizza and a coke the other day.

- Isn't that true? - What?

Your receipt was found at the scene of the crime.

Your credit card was used to pay for it.

I don't know how it ended up there.

- When was it? - Yesterday between 10am and noon.

I was in the shop. A friend came by.

You can call her. Camilla.

What's her number?

The Audi and driver have vanished.

Our bank adviser was fired and won't talk to us anymore.

Someone is trying to cover something up.

Hans Peter was on to something big. The question is: What was it?

- Coffee? - Please.

Excuse me.

Frederik?

It's because I was approached by a woman I don't know at the funeral.

She's been through the same thing as my father.

And what's that?

She had a small business that was thriving.

Hello. Then she made a small mistake

and was forced into bankruptcy by her bank.

Nova Bank?

Yes, the same bank as my father had.

Here's her number.

I thought you'd find it useful.

Definitely. Great.

This is a big help.

My dad was right.

But I didn't believe him.

Coming here was the right thing to do.

- Let me know if I can help. - Right.

Kristina?

Honey?

We've had a breakthrough in the case.

And there are similar cases. We're making headway.

What's wrong? Has something happened?

What did the doctor say?

I'm pregnant.

- What? - That's what she wanted to tell me.

- Jesus! - I know.

I'm getting an appointment for an abortion.

But we don't know if...

We can't have a baby,

can we?

We're too old.

You work too much.

And I have sclerosis.

Are you looking for something?
