This work is called The Perfect Family.
- And another is called The Nightmare. - Do the works have any similarities?
They're all owned by Freddie Holst.
I make failing businesses profitable.
I can't get a single job. But you could still buy my pictures.

If each victim gets a character, then we have three victims left.
That's Håkan. He couldn't get past that car here yesterday. A yellow car.
- Your dad may have been suffocated. - I don't know what you're talking about.
We own a house! It's ours!
- Are you in? - 3,000 and this.
- I assume this is about the threat? - Threat?
Saga was at my house last night and things got very unpleasant.
I have some bad news.
- Has something happened to Hans? - No. Your mother's been found dead.
- Can I borrow a pair of underpants? - Sorry?
- My period has started. - Wouldn't you rather have knickers?
- You mean Alice's? - Second drawer from the top.
Then I'll borrow a pair.
I don't need them back.
If that's all right with you... Alice?
Breakfast is ready!
Linn called. They've found more bodies in Sweden.
- Who found them? - It was an anonymous tip-off.
- Police found the basement door open. - A break-in?
It seems that way.
- Do we know who the victims are? - Probably the owners.
- Saga Norén, Malmö CID. - I'll talk to you later.
These are the owners of the house. Filip and Inger Johansson.
- Are they missing any body parts? - Not that we've found. But here...
We found these.
- Håkan Ekdahl's. - Yeah. Merry Christmas...
- How long have they been like this? - At least 24 hours.
-The batteries would've lasted 24 hours. - Do they have burns in their mouths?
- Let's see. - Pathology needs them right away.
Yes, that's the procedure.
Jesus...
- What can a removed brain symbolise? - Brainless?
An idiot? Or maybe a mastermind. The brains behind something.
And the apple in the mouth. Do they do that with roast pig in Denmark, too?
Yes. Maybe someone thought she was a pig. It's a clear link to Holst.
The list Emil gave us of museum pieces had one called "Cancelling Christmas".
- Has someone been living down here? - Maybe.
If they each have a character in their mouths, then there's only one left.
That might mean there's only one victim left.
- I'm thinking Freddie Holst... - Why would a killer flag his next victim?
I don't know. To scare him?
- I didn't see Alice and the girls today. - Should you have?
- I usually do. - You probably decided not to.
Maybe...
But I missed them.
Yes?
- We need an advance. - "We"? I don't need an advance.
- Jeanette and I. - What does Jeanette need money for?
- OK... I need an advance. - You got 28,000 yesterday.
You gambled it away.
- We have a little cottage in Skåne... - I know, Jeanette told me.
That's what I need the advance for.
- You lost the cottage? To who? - It doesn't matter.
To who?
Simon Mortensen is his name.
We have an agreement. You get the money when I get the kid.
It's not...
...legal to buy a baby.
- It's not legal to sell one either. - We're not selling a baby.
- Jeanette is a surrogate mother. - A surrogate only gets expenses paid.
But maybe you'd prefer that to a half million.
- No, it's fine... - I thought so.
Colbert will show you out. Hopefully for the last time.
Off you go.
At the last trade fair we talked a lot about the family members' participation.
They had new casket models, new colour combinations...
It was fun.
You don't have to look so sad, I'll only be gone for the day.
Will you pick me up tonight?
- My train arrives at 9.30. - Sure.
Great. Then maybe we can stop by my place so I can pick up some things.
- What things? - Underwear, clothes, toothbrush...
So it's easier when I sleep over at your place.
Cheer up now. Happiness is a choice, right?
- Go now, so you don't miss your train. - See you tonight.
CHOOSE HAPPINESS
Do you have time to meet today?
Hi Claes! Definitely! Where and when?
- You don't know what's best for me. - It's obviously best for you to leave him.
- Marc and I love each other. - Sometimes we love the wrong people.
Yeah. I bet you know everything about that.
- Do you think I can't hear you two? - That we argue? That's not important.
We're good for each other. Unlike you and Marc.
- What's it to you? I'm leaving soon. - I still care about you.
- Sure. Now... - No, not just now.
I'm going to be a father, thanks to you. That's the greatest gift I could get.
- It's not a gift. It's a business deal. - I don't care.
I want you to be happy even after you leave us. And Marc...
Jeanette, you're always going to be second fiddle. You're worth more.
I'm not going to leave Marc. And I am not second fiddle.
Your cottage in Skåne... He gambled it away yesterday.
Second fiddle, Jeanette. The sooner you realise that the better.
Hello.
- Haven't seen you in a while. - Do you have a minute?
Do I look like I do?
- I need to "talk" a bit... - OK.
This.
- It's a knock-off. - No, the guy wouldn't have a knock-off.
- 1,500. - It's worth ten times that!
Sell it to someone who'll pay that.
OK, fine. Give me 1,500.
Five, ten, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Fifteen.
Be right there!
Nice doing business with you.
Cancelling Christmas. Have you seen it? It's at the museum.
Video art. Edwina Cullen, American artist.
Picture a traditional Christmas with all the trimmings...
...meets hand grenade. In slow motion.
- Do you like Christmas? - Not particularly.
They say it's a children's holiday. Do you have kids?
No.
Have they been officially declared dead?
- Have you been checking up on me? - Yes.
- Don't. - Don't take it personally.
Correct information is the key to success.
Three new murders, two new artworks. Why does it all point to you?
- That's your perception, not mine. - We think there'll be one more victim.
- And you think it's me. - We want to offer you protection.
Thanks, but no thanks. I have CCTV, an alarm and security guards.
So if there's nothing else...?
Well, at least I offered.
- You had something to show me? - Yes, let me just finish this.
- No, now. I'm in a hurry. What's this? - See for yourself.
Woman. Average height. No visible fractures.
- What was she buried in? - Clay.
- Weren't you in a hurry? - Yes.
Grab that pen.
These don't appear to be the same type of symbols.
These are rounder.
- Do you know what it is? - Looks like an A and a percent sign.
- No it isn't. - I thought you didn't know.
It's likely an L and a G, I just don't know from what alphabet.
- How many alphabets are there? - Around 40. Many are obsolete.
Feel free to take the pictures.
I already have.
Seems Åsa Holst's pregnancy is fake. Worth a bit more?
Don't think. Just do your job.
- L and G from the Glagolitic alphabet. - Which is...?
The oldest known Slavic alphabet, created in Macedonia in the 9th century.
Now we just have the number 6.
One victim to go. And Freddie Holst refuses protection.
The murderer wants to point out Holst, but he may not be the next victim.
What do we know about the bodies we found this morning?
Filip and Inger Johansson. Have lived there since the early 1980s.
Both retired. He worked in insurance, she was an elementary school teacher.
- Have we canvassed the neighbours? - Yes. They had only good things to say.
Nice people, quiet, kept to themselves.
- A yellow car was seen in the area. - And we haven't found Söder's car.
Or Söder, but the airline confirmed he was on the Singapore flight on the 8th.
- Did he sell the car before he left? - Not according to records.
- Did the Johanssons have children? - No, but they'd fostered many.
- Do we have a list of the kids? - I've asked social services for one.
- We need it as soon as possible! - I know, that's why I requested it.
No links to Helle Anker, Hans, Lars-Ove Abrahamsson or Håkan Ekdahl yet.
- The Andersen T&L staff list? - It will be here soon.
- When? - Soon. Tomorrow, I promise.
- Fine. Can we go back to work? - Yes.
- Do you have a moment? - Yes.
Close the door.
- Have a seat. - I can stand.
- How are you? - Fine. I'm getting tired of the question.
- It's important to monitor... - If I stop feeling well I'll tell you.
I don't know if I should tell you this, but you need to know.
What?
Preliminary findings show that your mum may not have committed suicide.
It looks as if she was murdered.
- Any idea who might have done it? - We had no contact for 20 years.
She didn't seem to have changed much so probably many people didn't like her.
- May I leave now? - Yes, go ahead.
- Let me know if you need time off. - I never need time off.
- Hi. - Hi!
- Been waiting long? - Yes. But it's all right.
- I thought you'd be working constantly. - I got pissed off and needed a break.
- Just like that? - Yeah.
- I can tell you don't work with Saga! - If they don't appreciate my work...
What do you do, exactly?
- I...keep an eye on a Danish family. - OK...
- Who are you "keeping an eye on"? - Does it matter?
- No, I'm just curious. - Baby, you probably don't know them.
- What can I get for you? - Two cappuccinos, please.
They're sort of celebs in Denmark. - Soy milk in mine!
- The Holsts. - Freddie Holst?
- Who's your client? - I don't know.
- How did they contact you? - By e-mail.
Check out the address...
Bloody hell.
- Exactly what is your job? - I watch the house.
I send pictures of people who come and go and report on any activity.
What kind of job is that? Is that even legal?
I'm not selling any pictures right now. I have to pay my rent.
- Can you stand still? - No. Is that a problem?
Yes.
- How are you paid? - I get a deposit when I send photos.
- Can we trace the money or address? - There may be a faster way...
I could plant a virus in a file Tina sends. That way I can trace the computer.
- It may take time before it's opened. - Whoever it is replies right away.
- You're pacing again. - Deal with it. - Are we going to do it?
I need a photo to send.
Use this one.
- Do you owe someone money? - No, I need to buy something back.
- How much will you give me? - What do you want for all of it?
Hey, we got an e-mail.
Exciting.
- Whose is this? - No idea.
Well, this is a cop.
There. I've got it, I'm in.
- How much do you want? - 6,000.
6,000?
OK. I was going to give you 7,500. But that's great.
The signal is from Copenhagen.
- Vestmannagade 28. - I'll contact Lillian.
- Keep us posted. - Absolutely.
I'm on my way!
Hi. How can I help you?
- John, what's happening, any news? - The signal isn't moving.
The Danish police are on their way.
Damn it!
- We were too late.- I thought so.
- It's moving, turning left onto Njalsgade.- I'll send a patrol. What is it?
A computer, iPad or mobile phone, we don't know, but it's moving.
- It's turned on Ørestads Boulevard.- Acknowledged. We're almost there.
It's turning off.
It's stopped again.
- At a car park near the concert hall. - We're nearby. Exact location?
It's there. It's standing still.
There's a yellow car.
John, check license plate UUF 294.
It belongs to Kjell Söder.
- Empty. - Fuck!
- Where is it?- Hang on, it's moving again.
The train!
Send officers to every station. - Where's your signal light?
Not in there! In the back.
Damn it!
The train has stopped. He's getting off. Heading towards...
A shopping centre. - There's a shopping centre!
Go into the building. He's in there.
- John! John, which way?- Further into the building.
If you're on the same floor, you must have passed him.
Hang on... He's leaving again.
- Which way?- He's on the other side of the metro.
- Where are you now?- The other side. By the water.
It's right there.
- Fuck... We lost the signal. - They lost the signal.
- I felt stupid when you never came. - I'm sorry. My agent called.
- There was a problem with bookings.- And it was too much effort to text me?
I thought I'd make it, but I was wrong.
I'm sorry.
May I come in?
Åsa?
- I'm getting mixed signals from you. - What do you mean?
You invite me to the lecture, but won't talk to me afterwards, you don't show.
There is an explanation.
- I'm all ears. - Annika... You met her at the opening.
- Right. And I saw her in Malmö. - She comes to all of my lectures.
- She follows me around. - You've got a stalker?
It's not funny. I don't know how to get rid of her. She's...
- She's mad. And insanely jealous. - Report her to the police.
Her company is handling Dad's funeral.
For god's sake, just get a new funeral director.
Right, I guess...
Who is that?
That's...our cleaning lady.
- Is Freddie here, too? - No, he's not.
It would mean a lot to me if you came to Dad's funeral.
You were his favourite, you know.
- If you're allowed, of course. - Allowed? By Freddie?
- What would your stalker say? - I'll have dealt with that by then.
- What are you doing here? - Visiting Åsa.
- Why? - She can choose who she sees, right?
Yes...but not you.
That's your Achilles heel. You think you can control people.
But just like every other empire in history, yours will fall.
In your dreams.
- Are you coming? - I'm going home. I'm soaked.
You've been acting strangely today. You seem annoyed and off-balance.
It's just been a lousy day. OK?
- Because you didn't see your family? - No...
That's not it.
We tried sending another mail, but it came back.
The address isn't used anymore and couldn't be traced.
He realised that's how we tracked him. Then we don't need you anymore.
- You can go. - OK...
See you later? OK, good.
Goodbye.
- Thanks for your help! - Is it her job to spy on people?
No, she's a photographer. But work has been scarce.
- We're sending a team to the Holsts. - He agreed to that?
- When they heard they were spied on. - We need CCTV footage from the mall.
Lillian is going through that material.
- I want John to look at it. - I'm sure the Danes can analyse it.
I'm not.
- The list of foster children? - Social services are dragging their feet.
It's confidential. But I'm on them.
- Hello. Are you Saga? - Yes.
- Kjell Grankvist. - Saga Norén, Malmö CID.
This is about the murder of your mother, Marie-Louise Norén.
- Why do you want to talk to me? - I'm from Internal Investigations.
That's why I asked. You're only called in if an officer is suspected of a crime
or of impropriety.
We can also be called in if an officer's family member is a victim of a crime.
So, where were you at the time of your mother's murder?
I don't know the time of death.
There.
I was at the Eastern Cemetery.
- Why? - I was summoned there by e-mail.
Someone claimed to have information on an investigation, but no one came.
- And you went there alone? - Yes. The e-mail requested it.
But you told someone? Your superior, for example?
No.
Why not?
She had criticised my efficiency and I wanted...
...to vindicate myself.
- No one can confirm you were there? - No. But I still have the e-mail.
Excellent. I'd like to see it.
Your mother stated that you had threatened her.
- She lied. - Why would she do that?
She didn't like me.
What did you feel when she came back into your life?
I don't know.
Try to define the strongest feeling. You hadn't seen each other in how long?
- 20 years. - 20.
And there she is, after 20 years. You don't like each other...
- How do you know I didn't like her? - I'm sorry, I assumed it was mutual.
- You cared about her? - No. But I never said I didn't.
Actually, you have.
In an interview with Morten Anker. Your colleague Hanne Thomsen heard it.
So what did you feel?
I...I was frightened.
I'd like to swab you for DNA. It's just routine.
So we can rule you out if we find foreign DNA at the crime scene.
Open your mouth, please.
Thanks. That's it for today.
Perhaps you can give me that e-mail on my way out.
- Thank you. I'll be in touch. - Are you OK, Saga?
Yes.
Committed suicide because of Anna Ekdahl's affair
Hi!
- You're late. - I found an article on Anna Ekdahl.
Why haven't you told me you were a paparazzi?
- Because I'm not. I'm a photographer. - Who takes secret photos of celebs.
Sometimes, yes. But you know what? Without me, they're nothing.
How can you defend what you do when that kid committed suicide?
That wasn't my fault.
He called me and wanted the pictures published.
So you weren't being threatened when you asked me to look up that number?
No, I wasn't.
I broke the rules to help you, you know that, right?
- It's only wrong if you get caught. - Do you really see things that way?
Anything goes, as long as you don't get caught?
- You're leaving? - I don't think we should see each other.
No one is to know you're here. Yet you freely walk around outdoors.
I just had to get something from the kitchen.
I don't think you understand just how much is at stake here.
We're not just anyone, Freddie and I. It's not about the money or the legality.
I've been pretending to be pregnant! If that gets out...
Then why are you doing it? Why not just get a regular surrogate?
Because no one must ever think that it's not my child.
- I'm not going to say anything! - So stay away from the house!
And Freddie. Stay away from him too. I...
- I've been calling all fucking day! - I've been busy.
- Gambling away our cottage again? - Holst told you?
- So it is true... - Y-yes, but...
I made 7,500 today alone. I'll get the house back, I promise.
You got rid of their clothes and things.
They're in the hall, I didn't throw them away.
- Internal Investigations questioned me. - Why?
They seem to think I'm involved in my mother's death.
- But she killed herself. - No, it's a murder investigation now.
She was murdered?
Yes, it appears so.
- And they suspect you?! - Yes.
He lied. Internal Investigations don't come in when a family member dies.
- But that's insane! - Unless she wanted it to look that way.
She told them I'd threatened her.
- Did you? - No. It seems she framed me.
For murder?!
- Why would she do that? - As revenge.
- Revenge for what? - You can't ask me that.
OK... OK...
Saga, where are you going?
To the toilet.
I thought you were leaving.
- Do you want me to go? - No.
- Åsa says you're here too much. - I won't stay long.
- What's that? - Don't you recognise it?
- Yes, but where did you get it? - I bought it. It's a gift.
Only for you, not Marc.
- Why are you doing this? - I told you. I care about you.
Thanks.
- Now you need to get rid of that loser. - Good night, Freddie.
- You were with her again. - Her name is Jeanette.
- Do you have to go there so often? - She lives here.
- I see her two or three times a day. - Please...
Åsa, she's carrying our son.
It doesn't feel that way. It doesn't feel like...mine.
We wanted a baby, right?
But we can't have them.
I can't have them.
It's yours and hers. I have nothing to do with it.
That's why I didn't want her living here, why I didn't want to see her.
If the baby had just appeared, then...
But now, when I see the two of you together...
Åsa...
Look at it this way. We're renting her body for nine months. Then it's yours.
Then we'll never see her again.
Lillian... I need to talk to you.
What is it?
As you know, Hans's autonomic nervous system stopped working...
And now we've found that his brain function is non-existent.
He's brain dead. The respirator is all that's keeping him alive.
- But it happens that people wake up... - From a coma, yes.
But not when they're brain dead.
Please consider organ donations. And what to do about the respirator.
- May I go in and see him now? - Of course.
- Hey, are you already here? - Yeah.
I put reports on Saga's desk. Staff and dismissals at Andersen T&L.
Two had previous arrests. One for assault, one for drink driving.
- And the list of foster kids? - You'll have to ask Linn.
- Emil Larsson? - What?
An Emil Larsson was fired. Is it the same Emil Larsson?
- Which one? - The museum guard.
- He told us about the paintings. - No idea. Does he work at Andersen?
- Someone by that name does. - Did. He was fired.
- Do you have pictures of the staff? - No.
- Sorry, no photos. - You have no photos of employees?
- Why was Emil Larsson fired? - Last in, first out. Is he a suspect?
- Did he know Kjell Söder? - Everyone knows everyone here.
- Could he have borrowed his car? - I don't know.
- Did he mention a job at a museum? - No.
- You have no staff photos at all? - No.
- Do you ever have company parties? - Yes.
We need to identify a former employee, Emil Larsson.
Do any of you have a photo of him in your phones? Maybe from a party?
- Saga Norén, Malmö CID. - We got the list of foster children.
One name is familiar.
Thanks.
Emil Larsson was on the list of foster children, too.
