Chapter 5: THE MURDER

Lie still! If I do this wrong, you'll never wake up again.

Officially there's no longer a risk of evidence contamination.

And unofficially'?

Vibeke is flying back from Bergen and says she has to see you.

- She's beside herself. - Why'?

She said that your nephew has gone missing.

I asked security at Flesland Airport to get her on the plane.

She said all she wants is to see you.

Listen... Thank you.

Andreas has gone missing.

We have to get them.

We must find what they fear more than I fear for Andreas.

How could one of your journalists witness yet another suicide?

He's been suspended and is being investigated.

He works on the Sports Desk. Or did.

His actions were in a private capacity.

- But don't you have a responsibility? - Yes, of course.

Tom Lied is here. Run VB, and we'll get him to the studio.

Welcome.

We'll go live in five, four, three, two...

Welcome, Tom Lied.

You asked to come here to comment on the claims in Aftenavisen.

First, Holst...

At the press conference your paper was accused of lying.

We have documents that link the Minister with Haugen's companies.

- Pure fabrication. - Our investigative journalism...

Lies and deception.

I saw Haugen forge the Minister's signature.

That's why we fell out.

I've given a statement to Financial Crime, who will investigate this.

They can be the judges of me and this so-called news story.

- How can you prove these claims? - Prove'?

- Look at our pictures. -"The Minister visits a woman"?

If that's what you base your news on, I've got a lot of news for you.

He's good.

Hey! You can't go through there!

Hey! Hey!

There... Come on.

Hello?

Will there be another press conference'?

Yes, tomorrow evening.

The right man in the right place. An asshole from a crap paper on TV!

That's all from Lied. You should contact the Financial Crime Unit.

They're investigating the Minister's innocence, as we understood it.

- So a new press conference'? - No...

Happy'?

Extremely.

- Unwise to make yourself a target. - We'll be fine.

- Hello! - Hello.

Hello.

- Are you going to get me'? - What'?

- Was I mean to your boss? - No, no, no, I...

I just wanted to apologise on behalf of the paper and myself.

So...

Well, I apologise.

- It wasn't me who took the fall. - I apologised to the Minister too.

I've never done this before. You're party to a rather unique event.

- Will your boss keep his position? - Shit floats.

People like him always survive.

- Anyway, he's not my boss any more. - Did you quit?

I was fired. Fortunately, or I'd have continued working there.

Tell me if you need any help. I've got resources.

Thank you.

Do you want to toast common sense with a cognac'?

Inger Marie, put your boxing gloves on, you're our new News Editor.

- Okay...'? - Has that been decided?

Mathiesen has abandoned the sinking ship.

You will be News Editor until the birth and after your maternity leave.

- Will Mathiesen leave quietly? - I don't know. Find out.

He's probably thinking about it, he's got his reasons not to.

Yeah, find out.

The professor knows more. It was him who tipped me off that time.

- Six years ago? - Nobody ever gets caught, he said.

No, don't rave now, don't rave.

You're not raving. Have you taken your medication?

I'm not raving, but you still want to give me pills? No...

- Are you going to sleep? - Not if you stand there watching me.

On tomorrow's front page we should pretend to be a sports newspaper.

We should pretend we weren't caught unawares, and forget everything.

- What the fuck are you doing? - I was told to get Peter's stuff.

Where's his stuff?

- They threatened to beat me up. - Peter is one of ours.

Peter Verés was present at three suspicious deaths.

Not once as a journalist, -

- every time as the private individual Peter Verés.

Behave like a paper. Put the spotlight on Peter.

We should know more than anybody and put it out there.

I'll get his stuff.

- Is this normal? - When you want people to look away.

Spotlight... I've heard that word before.

I've got something to show you.

Did he take it down?

I've had enough of him.

God forgive us 22.10

Not only two people died on that date.

- Who wrote that'? - Daniel. I recognise his handwriting.

Who is the third?

Vibeke... I'm sorry, we have to wake you.

- We must work. We've got something. - What'?

I'm sure the third was connected to NHH Business School.

I've entered every graduate from 1980 to 1995.

Check every death on the 22.10 against the lists of those graduates.

"Roar Qstbye died in a cabin fire at Ustaoset with his 5-year old son."

- Accident? - No.

Daddy!

"Cabin tragedy in Ustodal"

I'll enter the location.

- A new cabin has been built there. - Who's the owner?

- A trust fund. NorCo. - A trust fund. That has to be them.

The chairman has to be listed at the Business Registration Centre.

And that is...

Gisle Eie.

He's the one who sent the video. This is our first physical evidence.

- Could Andreas be at that cabin? - Let's go now.

- It's a five hour drive. - Three.

Come to bed. You need sleep if you're going to save the world.

I can't sleep. This is too painful.

- It's not your fault. - A lot of it is.

You didn't ask for this assignment.

I'm sitting here feeling sorry for myself.

What kind of person does that'?

Don't feel bad about having a conscience.

What am I going to do?

You're going to sleep.

Then you're going to save the world.

And then I'm going to give birth.

Hello?

- You tipped me off six years ago. - So it's you phoning?

- Yes, it's me - Vibeke...

- Are we on first name terms? - I didn't contact you on a whim.

For six years they've said that it's all in my head.

That I'm imagining things. But I'm not, am I?

If you're referring to our conversation today, I didn't say.

I know. I've realised that this is about what you didn't say.

But you should know one thing... You've got a responsibility too.

And the boy that you met today...

Nobody knows where he is now.

Acquaintances

He's not here, is he?

Okay. This is all we've got.

Okay?

Hey, Eva! Eva! Come here.

This is no ordinary electricity cable.

They go this way...

Wait.

Genesis.

Chapter 22. The story of Abraham.

Are you awake? This is from a Mac.

There are loads of documents here. I'll send the whole lot.

I don't know what it is. Maybe you can make some sense of it.

Somebody's at the door.

- Hello'? - It's Inger Marie.

It's Inger Marie.

Hello. I just wondered if Peter is here?

No. He... He said he wanted to get away.

I'm worried about him. It's looking bad for him.

- Me too. - What'?

- I'm worried. - Did you find out more?

No. He didn't want to involve me any more.

He doesn't think I can cope with it.

But you can have a cup of tea, if you like.

If you're okay, I think I'll carry on looking for Peter.

Daddy!

It's that film clip.

Daddy! Daddy!

There's another film here.

Daddy!

Keep your hood on, idiot!

No one here knows who you are. That's your and our protection.

This had to happen, so it doesn't happen again!

It was painful, tragic.

- Do you recognise the voice? - No.

We must make sure it doesn't happen again!

- Damn it, there was a child there! - He was going to send us to hell.

To report you. Us.

We said we wouldn't sacrifice our children, so we'd keep quiet!

He didn't fucking keep quiet! He sacrificed his child!

We're filming this to remember what mustn't happen again.

So that no one else has to make that sacrifice.

Hold the camera.

Everybody here decided this for themselves.

Everybody gave up a lot to take part, so stop having misgivings.

- That voice... - We create enormous wealth.

You must get results! Continue to get results, for fuck's sake!

I chose you. I'm the only one here who knows who everybody is.

I'll make sure you're safe, so you get results.

I'll make sure you're safe from him.

Don't think anything else. Believe in the seriousness, the idea.

- We have to get out. - Wait.

- They've blocked the mobile network. - Come on!

- They'll explode. - What'?

The gas tanks. They were in the hallway.

- No, we can't breathe down there. - Come on!

- We'll be blown up, all of us. - We have to get out.

Then he'll kill us.

Run! Run!

Listen...

Happy to see me?

- I want to give you something. - What am I going to do with that'?

You asked me to do something good with it. I couldn't.

- It would have made me a swine. - The money came from Daniel.

That's why I'm here. He gave it to you.

He didn't steal it! It was sent years before he embezzled money.

You must separate good actions from bad, also in your boy.

Everybody can make mistakes, but this money was meant to do good.

- Do you know how much he embezzled? - He died for something else.

- That's not what I asked. - Of course I don't know!

2,387,000 kroner.

You obviously know how much he donated to the church.

- Hello. - I looked at the files you sent me.

- Are you there? - We're here.

They show what Gisle Eie made from inside information over 25 years.

- How much'? - A lot. He had a leading position...

...in one of Norway's largest companies. And Daniel was with Hydro.

- If there are more, this is huge. - There are more.

I know what to do. I must contact the professor again.

You know who I mean, Peter?

-ls Peter in the car'? - He's here.

Could you stop the car, so we can talk privately?

Peter?

Peter?

I saw... I saw the rest of the video.

He... He...

- I need help. - Why should I help you?

- You gave Aftenavisen access. - You saw how well that turned out.

I'm better than them. I can find out if you're right about Lied.

Inger Marie tried to find out where Lied's fortune came from. I can too.

- How'? - It's best you don't know.

But I need access now.

You shouldn't have released Verés.

I know the law, finance and police work. You only know police work.

- We try to lock people up. - And you release them.

As you probably know, I've been wrong before. Twice.

What did you want to show me'?

Peter has millions in accounts abroad.

- Isn't this getting a bit much'? - Yes. That's why we arrest people.

Will this be your third mistake?

Just find out where the money came from.

- We want to arrest him again. - You don't head this investigation.

I cleared a Minister today, my standing's good.

- We have a warrant for his arrest. - Outside normal channels?

- We'll use force, if need be. - Does somebody want me off the case'?

- Don't look at us. We love you. - You won't get far. Not thanks to me.

We know where the money comes from. Eie. Peter must have blackmailed him.

Simple people choose simple explanations.

- I think you're making a big mistake. - I have to.

We can't stop them by ourselves.

Those people in the mountains... They didn't know about the basement.

They just do what they're paid for.

- They're not some of the thirteen. - Thirteen...'?

There were thirteen chairs in the basement.

Don't say anything about money or the murders in the cabin.

We need that to bargain with when they call.

If they call.

Go to Vibeke's.

And you have to find Andreas. He's all I've got.

The Minister's here to see you.

- Your only job now is to not talk - But the Minister's here.

- Should I...'? - You didn't manage.

- Yes? - I'm going to be fired today.

You're not the first person to be dragged into something bigger.

They say I must resign to give the government -

- a rest from my private life.

Your credibility made your private life an issue.

My wife had left me. I wasn't unfaithful.

Nobody lied to anybody. It was a relationship between two adults.

- Yvonne Haugen was unfaithful. - I took the stick!

I acted on the information I had, and gave you...

My point is this: None of what you dug up was true.

- I . .. - That must surely mean something'?

- I'd like to introduce myself. - And you are...'?

Susanne Hjorth, his wife. We're back together.

- I wanted to meet you in person. - This isn't personal.

I'm sorry, I haven't got time for this.

I'll make sure you never forget me. You and your paper.

Hello.

No, he's never run away before. Now somebody's threatened to abduct him.

- What makes you think that'? - He's my son.

- Will you please help me'? - Stay here. I'll be right back.

Ready for today's service? How many children are to be christened?

Two. Did you come here to ask me that'?

I'm allowed to ask.

- Did you hear the news? - Oh yes.

What do you want me to say'?

The collegium has held an extraordinary general meeting.

What for'?

- You've become a liability, Tore. - Me'?

It's not conducive with the ideology of the Church.

It's my life.

I'm responsible for how I serve the Church. That's all that matters.

It's not your fault how things have turned out, but it is your family.

That's the reason why you will take leave with immediate effect.

Coward. Yesterday you were grateful for Daniel's alms, today you're not.

Money is money, as this institution should know better than most.

If you want to get rid of me, then come and get me.

This is my life. It has nothing to do with Daniel.

It never did.

That boy was lost from the moment he opened his eyes.

Go now.

I have two children to christen.

But they will be your last.

Come with me.

This is Terje Eriksen from the CID.

Johansen.

What is going on?

When did you last see Peter?

My son has disappeared. He's been abducted.

Answer the question.

Peter dropped me off here so that I could get help.

We looked for Andreas together.

Your brother-in-law, who indirectly killed your husband, -

- your ex, is the one you've spent the last 24 hours with.

Is it any wonder that your son has done a runner'?

I won't accept this. My son's gone. His life has been threatened, I know.

If you don't listen, we have courts for your kind.

Peter was reported wanted for murder 20 minutes ago.

- I need help to find my son. - You're being questioned about Peter.

Your car is parked outside the victim's flat.

Tell us what you know about Peter, and we'll help you find your son.

- Can you talk? - Yes. Where are you?

You saved me from a beating with a golf club.

That's where I am. Inside.

Switch phones.

Peter Verés is wanted for the murder of the woman -

- who was found in her flat less than an hour ago.

There's a manhunt on...

- He's done it before. - Could you leave? I need a word.

- Shut the door. - He's wanted for murder.

- I don't think he did it. - We're saving the paper, not him.

- And we're ahead. Peter's one of us. - He was.

The web-boys can follow it, we have until tonight to get the interview.

Frank Mathiesen, leave a message.

I heard the awful news. His Highness wants to push Peter off a cliff.

Tomorrow night his wildest speculations go to print.

He's given the police and VG all of Peter's material.

That's how far he's gone. Phone me, I'll help you.

It's me.

Vibeke is dead.

What happened?

I don't know.

She was killed because she found something.

She found something in Bergen.

Why?

She said something about a professor.

She found something thanks to him.

In Bergen?

In Bergen. That's where... That's where Andreas disappeared.

- What are you doing? - Getting the two of us to Bergen.

- You can't hold Eva Verés. - Why not'?

- How about helping her? - We'll let her go home.

What about protection?

- We'll watch her. - To see if she meets up with Peter.

And her son?

If you'd been part of that family, you'd have run away too.

They can't see anything but Peter.

- What if I'm right'? - I think you are.

- But this is their ballpark. - I'm going to Bergen.

You can't do anything here. But know two things:

The CID are watching you, so you can't see Peter.

And the second thing?

The second thing is, when you do see him, -

- tell him I'll do anything to catch Vibeke's killers.

Take care of yourself.

Kristin!

- She walked straight into the road. - Call an ambulance!

- She's alive. - Ambulance to Central Police Station.

- Eva ? - I ran over a woman.

- She's seriously injured. - Eva? Eva? Hello?

- Hello'? - What's going on?

Something terrible happened. Eva was run over, she has to go to hospital.

What's the matter?

What's the matter, Peter? Should I stop'?

Eva is in hospital.

We have to find Andreas.

Hello. I wanted to give these to Eva Verés.

She's in surgery, then she'll be in intensive care.

I ran her over. I wanted to give her these.

- I'll see to it. - Thanks.

Just wanted to say that Eva Verés is out of the game.
