- Where are we going? - To the cottage. We'll stay there tonight.
Go!
We have everything. Except Annika Melander.
Annika Melander, born 1985. Came to the foster home at age nine.
Don't look so sad. I'll only be gone for the day.
Claes Sandberg CHOOSE HAPPINESS, ON TOUR
Your mother breaks in, programs your computer to send you an email
so you'll be alone when she kills herself,
making her suicide look like murder.
- On the floor! - Drop the gun!
Call an ambulance!
As your boss I should have reacted earlier.
- I must finish the case. I promised Hans. - Take time off.
You said we all deserve a second chance.
This is your second chance.
Jeanette! Hurry!
Damn.
Jeanette!
Where are you taking him?!
Where are you taking him?
Hey. How are you doing?
I'm not very good at taking time off, but your investigation keeps me busy.
- Any ideas? - I've only just started.
- Thanks. - I've nothing else to do.
- Where were you earlier? - Why?
- Because I am a bit worried about you. - I was at the Arrievägen railway crossing.
- Why? - My sister killed herself there.
- You had a sister who killed herself? - Yes, Jennifer.
- And you went there? - Yes.
Why?
It felt right to be there.
- Should I stay? - No. I want you to find Hans' killer.
OK.
Hi.
- Henrik. - Yes.
This is Rasmus Larsson. He'll be working with you now.
Henrik Sabroe of the Copenhagen Police.
Hi.
Bring him up to speed. Focus on our main suspects.
Rasmus Larsson.
I don't know what Saga said about me, but I'm a damned good copper.
You are?
I didn't think that damned good "coppers" had to tell you they were damned good.
This is Annika Melander. She's our main suspect.
She's in there!
Here.
Jeanette! Jeanette! Hey!
Hey! Jeanette, can you hear me?!
- Freddie! She's had the baby! - Stop the bleeding, damn it! Jeanette!
Hello! Hello!
Jeanette!
- What's going on? What're you doing here? - It's our surrogate mother.
She was kidnapped and we traced her to here.
He took the baby.
He took my son.
You're coming with us.
- We'll follow you. - Yes.
No, you stay here and tell me everything Forensics find.
Just a minute. Linn!
Annika Melander has Freddie's baby.
She kidnapped their surrogate mother who gave birth, and now the boy's gone.
- And the mother's condition? - Critical.
She's lost a lot of blood.
Linn, it's a tiny, newborn boy.
- We'll call in all available resources. - All?
Yes. All.
Good.
Jeanette who?
- Jeanette Nielsen. - How did you find her?
I installed a transmitter in her mobile. It was untraceable on or off, so...
- You didn't trust her? - I don't trust many people, so...
How are you doing to find him?
Was that how you located her? With the transmitter?
Yes.
No, not right away. They have a cottage in Sweden. I was sure...
- Who are "they"? - Her and her boyfriend Marc.
- But he was dead and she was gone... - Hang on... Dead?
Shot.
Marc who? Marc what?
- Skouv. - Marc Skouv. Did you call the police?
- Look, we had to find Jeanette. - Seriously? Damn it!
Right... Here.
Let's have the address of that cottage. Go.
- Annika Melander. Did anything surface? - No.
You do know that I know what you're going through, right?
And we'll do everything we can to find your son for you.
They're coming now.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Good to see you again. - Yes.
- We can go now. - Wait. Soon.
I think Claes has our baby.
Claes Sandberg?
- He said he would crush Freddie. - When was that?
A few days ago. He was the one who revealed that I wasn't pregnant.
How did he find out?
I told him.
I thought that he... What I mean is...
Claes can be manipulative and this whole surrogacy has been so exhausting for us.
- And I needed someone to talk to. - So you chose your ex-husband?
- I didn't know he hated us. - Did he say that?
He said he wanted to hurt us as much as he could.
Did we rule out Sandberg too soon?
He has no connection to the victims and an alibi for several of the murders.
But he is out to get Holst.
She was obsessed with Sandberg. Holst was not exactly nice to him.
If Sandberg is as manipulative as Åsa claims,
he could have got Annika Melander's help and made the murders point to Holst's art.
- Especially if she's obsessed with him. - Works he once owned.
Two killers. He shoots. She creates art installations.
OK. Let's talk to Claes Sandberg again.
Understood. We'll wait for orders.
- Did you never want children? - Why do you ask?
- Just asking. - I do without many things. Why children?
It crossed my mind. You don't have to tell me.
I have no interest in childcare. It would disrupt my work. I doubt I could do it.
Why?
Empathic interaction with others is not my strong suit.
We're done.
Saga Norén, Malmö CID.
Yes, we're here now. Claes Sandberg is not here.
Saga!
Yes. Thanks for the info.
Jeanette is conscious. The boyfriend was found with three shots to the chest.
Why wasn't that found during the search?
It may not have been there then.
The calibre's right.
We'll issue a warrant on Claes Sandberg.
Have you seen this person?
I heard shots, but nobody tells me anything.
Do you recognise him?
I don't know...
- Look at the photo. - What's happened to Marc?
What about her?
- I don't remember. - Didn't you see who delivered...?
- What happened to Marc? - He's dead.
What about the baby?
We don't know. We don't know yet.
We're both very sorry about everything that's happened to you.
Yes, we are.
What the hell is this?
Åsa.
What's happened?
Please don't go. Darling, all those people he killed... He'll kill you too. He's mad.
- He has our son. - You can't go. Call the police.
Then he'll kill him.
No, no, no! You can't go. You can't go there.
Move.
Hi.
- Hi. - What are you doing here?
I filled in during your leave. I'm part of the investigation until we find the kid.
- You replaced me? - Yes.
Come on. Forensics have finished.
This was in the room where Holst found Jeanette.
Seven rooms are decorated. You probably recognise them.
One murder in each room.
Quite a lot of blood was found in the basement. It has to be analysed,
but it was in several places, so presumably it comes from several people.
This one's new.
The next murder. Freddie and the baby.
Who's the third one, then?
Åsa Holst, maybe.
Or entirely different people... who're already dead.
We just haven't found them yet.
- Henrik Sabroe. - Anything else?
My report.
What?
Where shall we meet?
OK, thanks.
Hello!
I'm here!
POLICE. FOOLISH.
No!! No!!
No!!
Get away!
- No! My son! - It's empty.
- My son! - It's empty! The pram's empty!
It's empty!
He saw us coming.
- He said to come alone. - Yes, but it was stupid to do so.
- Well, he was going to kill my son. - This was in that tower up there.
So the pram was torched when we arrived? All Freddie had to do was come closer.
Why? So he could shoot me?
- No. The plan was for him to abduct you. - Where? But why?
Everything suggests that he's planned another way to kill you. Elsewhere.
What? I can... How am I supposed to die?
He'll try again. We're taking over surveillance now.
And my son? If he gets me, will he let my son go or what?
- Probably not. - But it's possible?
Experience shows that the perpetrator will probably kill you both.
Well, she can be a bit blunt, but she's right.
We'll take you home, and you'll stay there and call us if he contacts you.
Freddie, this is your best shot at saving your son.
- How did it go? - The baby is used to get to Holst.
- Probably to kill them both. - We have to increase surveillance.
- Will you talk to Lillian? - Yes. One of ours should go. Will you?
Claes Sandberg's agent doesn't know where he is.
He called today and cancelled a lecture with just a day's notice.
- Did he say why, Claes? - Personal reasons.
- Any news on Annika Melander? - We have no idea where either one is.
- Hi John. - Hi.
- Welcome back. - Thanks.
- How's Julia? - Much better.
She'll be in hospital another day or two but then she's coming home.
I went through everything but found no link between Sandberg and Anker.
- Did we think there was one? - I wondered why he'd call him brother.
We think the reason was that it was dark, Morten was a bit...
I'm sorry about your daughter.
- It wasn't your fault. - Yes, it was, and professional misconduct.
- She's OK, Saga. That's what matters. - Good. Here you are. For Julia.
"Crisis aid for accidents, disasters and trauma: Building human resilience."
Thank you. It might be a bit heavy going for her.
She's still struggling with "My Little Pony".
- You can read it to her. - Yes. I may do that. Thank you.
You're welcome.
We think Melander and Sandberg took Freddie's baby.
- To get at Freddie. - Why the baby?
Instead of sending a photo of Jeanette, she waited until the baby was born.
Kidnapping of children is usually about inheritance...or envy.
Inheritance. What do we know about their parents?
- Both Sandberg's parents are dead. - The father died recently here in Malmö.
What do we know about Annika Melanders father?
Bror Holmberg. But he renounced his parental rights when she was five.
- Why? - It doesn't say. Just that he did.
- Find his number. - OK.
- You called the police. - Yes.
- It could have cost our son his life. - But you might have died, the police said.
You can't blame me for not wanting to lose you.
Why do you take no interest in our son?
I do care, I long for him... I hope he'll come home to us unscathed.
But if I had to choose between him and you, well... I'm sorry, I can't help it.
Come here.
Imagine if we hadn't started all this.
It wouldn't have made any difference.
This threat has nothing to do with our son.
Someone's out to hurt us.
- Annika wasn't my daughter. - How did you find out?
Renate, her mother, told me in connection with a doctor's appointment where...
... where it became clear that Annika couldn't be mine.
Did she say who the biological father was? Never?
Never.
- And when Renate died? - By then we'd been divorced three years.
- But Annika didn't end up with you? - I had a new family by then.
Little ones of my own.
I saw no reason to take in a girl who wasn't mine.
Did she want you to take care of her?
- Do you have to know? - Yes.
Annika may strike out at those she feels have betrayed her over the years.
So did she want you to take her in?
Yes.
But...
I said no.
I think Holmberg and his family need police protection.
It could be Holmberg hanging in the doll's house with Freddie Holst.
We'll have to ask Holst if he remembers Renate Melander.
- Why would he remember her? - They could have had sex.
Yeah, but back in the eighties.
- Don't you remember your sex partners? - Not everyone. Do you?
Yes.
- Are you wondering if you're the best? - Best what?
- The best sex partner I had. - No.
It's common for men to want confirmation that they're a woman's best sex partner.
It's not anything I think about.
But if I did?
You're not the best.
- Who's this, then? - Renate Melander. Annika's mother.
- Do you recognise her? - No.
Did you sleep with her in 1984? Did you have sex with her then? Unprotected sex.
- I was only 17 then. - I became sexually active at 15.
Yes, but I don't remember who I slept with 30 years ago. Why do you want to know?
- You could be Annika Melander's father. - I'm not her father.
Did you have sex with Renate Melander in 1984?
You ask idiotic questions instead of finding my son!
Do you own a work of art entitled "Father-Son" or anything like that?
No!
Anything that may be connected to being hanged?
- Is that how he wants to kill me? - Just answer the question.
Is there anything in your art collection that could tell us where they are?
No.
- Hello, Claes speaking.- Why aren't you answering your phone?
- Well, I've been busy.- The police was trying to reach you.
Hello? Claes!
- Hello? - Suss, I... I can't hear you.
The police have been trying to reach you all day.
Suss, if you can hear me now... I'll call you later.
- The police... - Bye.
Sandberg's agent talked to him. He hung up when she mentioned the police.
Damn it! Well, if he hasn't gone underground already, he will now.
Pardon me. I know you're very busy, but may I borrow Saga for a few minutes?
- It's not a good time. - It won't take long.
My investigation is finished, and the file is going to the public prosecutor.
So I want you to read through your statements and sign them.
I heard there was a shooting on your floor.
Well, I'm not investigating that. A colleague will be looking into it.
Right... Why don't you finish that and then bring it out to me?
Wait here.
Are you asleep? It's me.
- Have you found him? - No.
Sorry. Forgive me.
Marc is dead and your baby's gone.
- And it's my fault for running off. - No, no.
- Yes. - Don't think that.
Nothing has just one cause.
OK. Is there someone who can take care of you when you leave here?
I can probably stay with my mum for a while.
You're welcome to stay with us as long as you like. Let me show him to you.
Here he is. Jan Frederik Holst.
- Jan. - Yes.
You don't like it?
Yes. He could be a Jan.
Why did you turn the TV on?
I turned it on because... my girls, they're back again.
- And Alice? - No. Just the girls.
I think this whole thing... Holst and his baby...
...is bringing up all kinds of old crap inside. That's the way it is.
- Can I do anything? - What would you like to do?
Saga. Come on, wake up. Come on, wake up.
They got Claes Sandberg during the night. He's in Malmö. Come on, we have to go.
- Hi, good morning. - Good morning.
- Have you found her? - Who?
Annika.
- What...what has she actually said? - What do you think she's said?
So you haven't found her?
- Where is she? - I don't know. Why am I here again?
Why do you have a gun?
I got it after the last time I was here.
You did say that she was a murderer, and she is completely obsessed with me.
- Where have you been? - In Växjö.
- Why? - I interred my father's urn.
- Alone? - Yes.
The whole Freddie Holst thing...
He sold your company, then stole your art collection and your wife.
You told us it was the best thing that happened to you. Not really true, was it?
- It forced me to take control of my life. - So you could smash his empire...
- Who said that? - Isn't it true?
I wanted to ruin things for Freddie, true. But I'd never hurt him physically.
It...was me who...revealed the...
...surrogate mother and that Åsa wasn't pregnant. That's all.
- Where is Annika? - I don't know. I don't know.
She went to Gothenburg and didn't come back. I don't know where Annika is.
- Can I go now? - What do you think?
Makes no difference.
Claes has an alibi for the murder of Marc and the abduction of Jeanette.
I've recreated all texts and calls in his phone. Nothing for Annika Melander.
- Another phone? - I checked the masts on his route.
- No one contacted Melander via them. - Assuming Sandberg isn't involved...
- Are we letting him go? - Not yet. Melander...
- She could be Holst's daughter. - It explains why he's targeted.
We asked him and his wife. They've no knowledge of anyone being investigated.
Ask everyone. Go everywhere. We have to find her and the baby.
That guy.
He was here a few months ago.
He seemed confused...high, almost. So I sent him on his way.
Yes.
- Yes... Is... Is that you? - Who're you looking for?
I'm here to see my father. Or...not my father, but the real one.
We were both supposed to be here. No...
You need to leave the property.
I thought he was someone else.
I'm not the only one.
- Is he in there? My father. - No, he isn't.
You need to leave now!
He stayed there for a little while and then he left.
- Who's he? - Morten Anker.
"We were both supposed to be here", he said.
The other one being? His brother?
- Remember us? - You stopped my wife's funeral.
We need to talk to you about Morten.
I have to pick up Elias.
The night Morten visited, did he mention his father?
- What did he say? - He asked if Willy knew Helle was dead.
He talked about him like he was alive. Did he say "Willy" or did he say "Dad"?
I think he said "Dad".
How long were Willy and Helle trying for a baby?
I don't know. Several years.
But it was when she started the insemination clinic that she got pregnant?
- What do you mean? - Morten may not have been Willy's.
- He was. - How do you know?
I just know! Helle had no secrets from me.
Only 4% of the population is honest in relationships.
- Are we done? - Fine. Thank you.
- Hello there. - Hello, Jørgen Drachmann, clinic director.
Henrik Sabroe, Copenhagen Police. Saga Norén, Malmö CID.
So this is about an insemination
which may have been performed here - in the 80s.
It's a bit tricky. We can't open our files. Not even to the police.
- It's a murder investigation. - We want to help.
But we handle sensitive information. We can't risk a lawsuit.
- And if we get a warrant? - Then it's a different matter, of course.
- We'll do that. - I'll see you then.
Yes. That's super. Good. Bye.
Good, Lillian's getting us the warrant. What do we do while we wait?
- Go to the site where Jeanette was found. - Rasmus has already examined it.
- I see. - Yeah, OK. Let's go.
What do we have here?
Lars-Ove Abrahamsson probably died here.
He was strapped down, the loop was wound round his genitalia.
- It was tightened using the winch... - Thanks, I get it.
But Annika Melander...
My guess is that nothing here will tell us where she is.
No.
According to John there's been no business activity in the area since 2007.
Saga!
Tire tracks.
Goodyear Vector 419565R15. Worn on the inside there.
- How can you tell? - I can't, of course. I was only joking.
But we know for sure that someone came from that direction. Or drove there.
Shall we take a look at it?
That looks new.
- The padlock? - Yes.
That looks like drag marks.
It's Annika Melander!
Is she alive?
Yes. Annika!
Annika? Can you hear me?
John, we need an ambulance! Right next to where Jeanette Nielsen was found.
- Exactly. - Annika! Annika!
- Can you hear me? - Saga.
Take a look at this room.
The Johansson's basement.
Yes.
- What do you think? - Sandberg was the last to see her.
What about the room, then? Sandberg was never at the foster parents' house.
- As far as we know. - OK.
- We have to ask all 27 foster children. - Emil Larsson first.
- Emil.- Saga Norén, Malmö CID.
There was a basement room in your foster parents' house. Did anyone live there?
A room in the basement with a bed and a basin. Who lived there?
- We weren't allowed down. - Never?
No. It was forbidden. Filip forbade it.
- Do you know a Claes Sandberg?- No.
You never heard the name? He never came to the house?
- Not as far as I know.- Thanks.
- I don't know. We weren't allowed there. - Never?
- When I lived there the door was locked. - Did Annika Melander mention her father?
- Yes. - What did she say?
- She didn't like him. She felt abandoned. - Did she say why?
When her mother died, her father didn't want to take care of her.
Bror Holmberg?
He wasn't her real father. Did she ever talk about her biological father?
- He wasn't her father? - I just said that. Did she mention anyone?
- No. Never... - Henrik. Yes.
- What did you do the night before last? - I was working.
- Who can vouch for that? - My colleagues.
- Names, please. - Saga.
John talked to five foster children. None of them know anything about a room.
LAST CHANCE
Can you make it? 10-15 minutes, I think.
Good. Don't turn it off. We need to move fast.
Excuse me, where are you going? Hey! Freddie! Fre...
We'll follow him. We'll follow him.
Freddie, wait! Freddie! I just want to talk to you.
Ask him if he knows the destination.
It's Linn. Saga Norén, Malmö CID.
- Freddie Holst ditched his minders. - No, damn it!
- How did he do that? - He took a chopper.
- And why didn't they stop him? - No authority. He's not a suspect.
With the transponder on, Kastrup should be able to track his whereabouts.
- John's established contact. - The transponder is on.
- Did you hear that? - Is there a Danish police chopper near?
- We use yours. From Gothenburg. - It's on its way.
Rasmus is tracking the chopper.
Go. I'll take this one.
- Rasmus, where are you now? - Strandlodsvej.
- Good. You have to go left. North.- Left. OK.
Where's the chopper now?
It's continuing southeast towards a large industrial estate.
Wait!
- John, where do I go? - Kastrup can't see it anymore. It landed.
- Where? - They don't know. Where are you?
In some industrial area. Yderlandsvej.
Go north. Backup is coming, and Saga is minutes away.
Hello!
I'm here now!
I've come alone, just like you said!
Yes, that seems to be in order.
- So... What do you want to know? - We have a possible donor name.
That's no good. Everything's filed under the mothers' names.
Good. Renate Melander.
Hello!
Show yourself, damn it!
No, there's no match for her.
- No match at all? - None.
OK. If we don't have the mother, how can we find what we're looking for?
You can't, I'm afraid. Unless of course you have a code.
- A code? - All the mothers have a case file code...
L369G42.
Hello!
What do you want to know?
I want to know everything.
The name of the donor is Freddie Holst.
Confirmed fertilisation and pregnancy.
- And the mother? - The mother...
A certain Anna-Maria Larsson.
Hi Dad.
