Margrethe Thormod.
Director of Immigration Services.

Hello! Get out!
Get out of here, I said!

Patrik Dahlqvist.

I think we've found new houseguests.
A woman and son. They have it really bad.

- Who do you want me to be?
- Her.

Not Agnes.
She's not nice.

I'm pregnant.
But I've decided to get rid of it.

- Do I not have a say?
- Not legally.

- You can sleep where you want.
- Do you have children?

- I did.
- Are they dead?

Margrethe Thormod was responsible
for your deportation.

I didn't k*ll her.
She jumped into a black car.

Surveillance lost him in traffic.

Morgan Sonning? I know what you did.
We need to meet.

- Love you.
- Love you too, Dad.

- I need to set an example.
- But you know Dimitri.

Hello!

What do you want?

- I saw your car.
- Uh-huh.

When you picked her up.

- Picked up who?
- Margrethe Thormod.

- I don't know what you're talking about.
- Outside of the club.

Sorry.

I want money, or else
I'm telling the police everything.

- Say what you want. I'm going now.
- No!

You're not.

THE BRIDGE IV

- Did he say where he was going?
- No.

- What did he do here?
- He borrowed my laptop.

He wanted to check something
on the internet.

PC 14 921.

Black Audi owned by Morgan Sonning.
He lives here in Copenhagen.

I knew he knew something
about that car.

No, he's not home.
He drove off about an hour ago.

Did he say where he was going?

A black Audi with plate number
PC 14 921.

- Is that your husband's?
- Yes.

Do you know if he used it
on the afternoon of the 28th?

Why are you coming in a taxi?
Did something happen?

- We'll talk about it later. Can you pay?
- Morgan Sonning?

Saga Norén, Malmo Police.
This is my colleague, Henrik Sabroe.

- Why don't you have the car?
- We need to talk to you about the 28th.

I was robbed.
Can I get money to pay the taxi?

- Did you hear what I said?
- Can you wait a second?

I'm okay, but can you go in
and get money to pay the taxi, please?

Yeah, of course.

- We want to talk to you about the 28th.
- Yeah, I heard that.

Can we talk at your place?

You want us to take you
to the police station?

- Why didn't you call the police?
- What would you have done?

Send a car out there?

Probably not.
It wasn't a high priority.

- I was just a bit curious.
- You were curious?

- So it was him?
- Yes, it was him.

He thought he'd seen my car
pick up Margrethe outside of a club.

I didn't understand what he was
talking about, and was about to leave.

Then he took out a g*n and took my car,
my wallet, and my phone.

- Where was your car on the 28th?
- In the shop.

- Where's that?
- In Sweden.

- You brought your car to Sweden for work?
- Yeah, it's my brother's shop.

I try to support him a bit.

- Where were you?
- The 28th? In Hamburg with my wife.

When he called, he said, "I know what
you did." Did you know what he meant?

- I don't know. I was just curious.
- And we couldn't talk about it at home?

My wife would have thought I did something
I wanted to keep secret.

- We think so, too.
- Okay.

But that's your problem, isn't it?

Leave your name and number
and I'll call you back. Bye.

Sarah, where the hell are you?
You should have been looking after her.

Where are you?

Everything looked good
until this happened.

- What happened?
- I don't know.

She was getting better.
Sarah called and said she was better.

- Is she rejecting the kidney?
- It doesn't seem like it.

But we don't know what happened.
As soon as we know, we'll tell you.

- William! Where is she?
- Where the f*ck have you been?

- Where is she?
- You should have taken care of her!

I tried. There was a crazy guy.
A clown.

- Where is Leonora?
- She's been poisoned.

Tell them that.
Tell them she was poisoned.

They need to find it and help her.
Do you hear what I'm saying?

You sent a f*cking clown
to poison my daughter!

- How do I save her?
- I don't know.

William, please.
I've done nothing to your daughter.

You get one more chance.

I promise.
Your weapons, yes, but not your family.

William, I have two daughters myself.

- How long have you been up?
- A little bit.

- I don't like waking up alone.
- I just came out here.

- Where is he?
- Working. He left a note.

"Good morning. Food's in the fridge.
Just take what you want. See you tonight.

Hugs."

He's cute.

- Are we going to stay?
- Who are the only ones we can trust?

- Ourselves.
- Exactly.

If someone calls you up saying
"I know what you did" -

- and you choose to meet that person,
it's because you have something to hide.

That he's hiding something
doesn't mean it's illegal.

- Maybe he's f*cking around.
- Jonas' explanation for everything.

It's estimated that a fourth of Sweden's
population has been unfaithful.

- In Denmark, the numbers are higher.
- The world's happiest people.

That doesn't follow. You can't connect
unfaithfulness with happiness statistics.

Sure I can.

Morgan Sonning's car was near The Cave
on the 28th. The times match.

Unfortunately, tinted windows.
There's an APB out on it.

Since Taariq has Swedish credit cards now,
the Swedes were informed.

Good.

Yeah, okay.
I'll check Morgan Sonning's alibi.

- We'll take the shop in Sweden.
- Okay.

My brother's car came on the 26th.
He got it that Monday.

It was seen in Copenhagen
on the afternoon of the 28th.

No, it wasn't.

Surveillance footage
from Copenhagen on the 28th.

I don't know what to tell you.

- How many employees do you have?
- Three.

But the keys are locked inside.
Only I have the code.

- And where were you on the 28th?
- Here, as far as I know.

No, I wasn't.
We were at the hospital with our son.

- The cars out there, are they ready?
- Some of them.

- Was your brother's car there the 28th?
- Probably.

- Probably? Was it there or not?
- It was ready. So yeah, it was there.

- Hi. May I see your driver's license?
- Yes.

Thanks.

- Is it your car?
- Yes.

- 911?
- S. 911S.

- Late '70s?
- '77.

A car was taken from here
and driven to Copenhagen on the 28th.

Is it only Tobias Johansson
who has access to the keys?

Does he not trust you?

- You'd have to talk to him about that.
- So no one else could have taken the car.

No one else. Only Tobias.
Do you want to sell it?

No, I don't.

- What did you pay for it?
- Nothing. I won it.

- You won it? How?
- On a bet.

Someone bet this car?

David Leander.
He was in my class at the police academy.

- What did you bet on?
- He said I wouldn't graduate.

I said I'd be the best in the class.

Damn is that stupid, man.
How did things turn out for him?

He's the Police Chief in Stockholm.

It's Lillian.
Saga Norén, Malmo Police.

It's me. We have a situation
at the border with Taariq Shirazi.

Hey, Taariq.

I'm with you now.

Hey.

You let me go.
They'll k*ll me if I'm sent back.

You need to help me again.

Taariq, you need to let her go.
Then we'll help you.

I want to seek asylum here in Sweden.

We can look into that, Taariq.
That's no problem.

- Is that true?
- You don't need to go back to Denmark.

- Is that true?
- Yes.

Not you, her.
Can I stay here?

I won't be sent home?

No, you can absolutely stay here.

- You're lying.
- No, it's true.

Taariq, it's true.

Tell me the truth.

I'll sh**t her!
Tell me the truth!

I'll sh**t her!

Sweden has an extradition agreement
with Denmark.

Robbery, possession of arms, and extortion
will get at least five years in prison.

What happens after that?

After prison, you'll be deported.

Taariq, no.
No, no. Taariq!

No!

We shouldn't have let him go.

He never understood we fleeced him.
It wasn't our fault.

I know. Knowing he'd be deported
made him k*ll himself. We couldn't...

But I let him go. We gave him hope,
and then we crushed him.

That we let him go didn't mean anything.
He would have k*lled himself in jail.

- Listen to Saga. It wasn't your fault.
- I feel guilty as hell.

It's counter-productive.
We couldn't have done anything.

To hell with that whole system.

A young, frustrated man.
Different values ...

- I know who hit me.
- You saw that it was Christoffer?

- No, but who else could it have been?
- Someone else.

So it's random that this happened
exactly when they moved in?

- Your son wanted the house.
- This isn't about that.

But yes! He should have moved in.
He would have respected the rules.

How do you know that
Sofie and Christoffer don't?

You're not going to throw them out.

No. What you're suggesting
makes me want to throw you out.

Hey.

- Is there anything to what he said?
- That depends on what he said.

There has been more trouble here
since they came.

Because people like Theo
are making them into troublemakers.

I think you need to remind them
what's expected to be welcome here.

Okay.

A little tea?

How are you doing?

I've been better.

Yeah, I can imagine.
It was a mistake letting him go.

But we just do what we're told, right?

Come on.
She's waiting.

- Okay.
- Good.

The shop where the car was,
what do we know about it?

Three employees, but only the owner
has access to the keys.

Yeah, but if you work at a garage,
you can hotwire a car, right?

Check the workers. Why steal a car
in Sweden to kidnap someone in Copenhagen?

- Maybe the car means something.
- Or its owner.

What do we know about Sonning?

Morgan Sonning, 38, born Johansson
in Torsby in Värmland.

Married to Malene Sonning since 2014,
no children, no criminal record.

Malene Sonning, 55,
born and grew up in Copenhagen.

Works in PR. Started the Danish branch
of the 1.6-Million Club in 2012.

What does that mean?
How rich you need to be?

They're working to get more
medical research for women.

Margrethe Thormod was a member.

- Are you sure?
- It was in her file.

So they knew each other.

Hey.

Welcome.

Hey, Bro.

- Look.
- Thanks. We just had to come.

So someone stole your car that night.

- And my phone and my wallet.
- What a pain.

- Where did you go?
- Just out.

- So why were the police interested?
- Someone said they saw the car.

- Saw it doing what?
- I don't know.

- But the car was at your place, right?
- Yeah, but...

- What?
- The keys were locked inside.

But if it was taken with
the extra keys... You had them.

Didn't you know that woman who d*ed?

That woman who was stoned.
You knew her.

Yeah, we were in the same group.
I knew who she was, but that's it.

She tried to take your place
as Chairman, didn't she?

- Where'd you get that from?
- From Tobias, I think.

I assume he got it from Morgan.

- Hungry, huh?
- Yeah.

He just hangs there constantly.

And Tobias never gets permission
to play with them anymore.

I was actually doubting
whether I could breastfeed.

Because of the silicone.

- But it's going really well.
- That's nice.

That ought to be enough now.
Would you mind taking him?

- Here we are.
- He's so cute. Hi, sweetie.

Hey, you.
You have such nice eyes.

- Such nice eyes.
- Thanks.

Can I take him again? Thanks.

Oh, sweetie.

There.

You need to wake up now.

You're all I have.
You know that.

[ Unknown Number ]

The poison kills in four hours,
but there's an antidote.

What Leonora got kills in four hours.
You need to help identify it.

- How do you know all this?
- A message from whoever poisoned her.

Find out what she was given
because it will save her.

- Drive.
- Shouldn't we watch?

- We get the antidote if we pay.
- But that doesn't mean...

No, we pay and get the antidote
to save Leonora.

Then we find that fucker.

Niels. What are you doing?

- I'm cleaning up Margrethe's things.
- Isn't it a bit early?

She's not going to miss it.

[ Diary ]

I don't need to see her things
every day to remember her.

I'm never going to forget her.
Either help me or go.

Yes? And what time was this?

Yes, thanks a lot. Bye.

Okay, there's a whole lot
that doesn't add up with Sonning.

- What?
- A whole lot.

- Does anyone want to talk to him with me?
- I'll have to pass.

Okay. Well, then... Hmm?

Smalltalk or no?

What did you say?

Martin thought that colleagues
should engage in smalltalk.

Hanne didn't want to.
Which do you prefer?

Well, Martin has 7-8 years
left in prison -

- and Hanne's missing a leg,
but she's working, doing well.

But no, no smalltalk.

You can't link Martin and Hanne's situations
with their preference for smalltalk.

No, but it's dumb to take the risk, eh?

- So he sh*t himself in the head?
- Yes.

Everything seems to be there.

And the car?
When do I get it back?

When we're finished examining it.

We need to talk to you about
what you were doing on the...

- 27th, 28th.
- We were away then.

Hamburg, yeah.
How did you get down there?

- We took Malene's car.
- How long was it? Why didn't you fly?

A little time doesn't matter.
We like driving together.

- Which way did you take?
- Rødby-Puttgarden.

- Do you still have the ferry tickets?
- No.

My wallet is full enough
without a lot of trash.

You didn't use any credit cards
on the trip.

No, we had an 800-900 euro budget.
Our friends paid for the rest.

How practical.
And your phones, where were they?

You've been thorough, so you know
that we left them here at home.

We were on vacation.
We never bring our phones.

They got the money.
We're getting the antidote.

If no one comes,
what do we do then?

Mom isn't here. She's at work.

It's you I wanted to see.

- Where are we going?
- Up to the mill.

- Why?
- You'll see.

- Who do you talk to?
- About what?

Things you don't talk
to your mother about.

No one. I don't talk to her much, either.

- Why not?
- She's so f*cking weak.

Sometimes you need to open up
so you don't break.

She keeps a lot of sh*t from you.

She literally took punches.

Rule number one.

- All weapons are loaded.
- Good. And?

Never aim at anything.

- If you don't...
- If you don't want to sh**t it.

Keep the finger off the trigger -

- until you're sure you can hit
what you're aiming at.

Good. Try it.

Focus. Take a deep breath.

While you slowly breathe out,
gently pull the trigger.

Well done!

- How did you know that about my mother?
- She told me.

- At work.
- What do you do for work?

Leadership building courses.

I go around talking to people
who need someone to talk to.

Not everyone has that,
but everyone needs it.

You can talk to me.
About whatever, whenever.

Okay.

- William, they're not coming.
- We wait.

They're coming.

It's been almost four hours.

Isn't it better if we go back
to Leonora so you can be there...

Shut it.

Just shut up!

Quiet.

Hi.

We've found no poison. We found
traces of opioids in Leonora's blood.

- What is that?
- A strong tranquilizer.

It would explain her difficulty breathing
and her heart rhythm.

- She wasn't poisoned?
- No, not really.

Her condition hasn't worsened
like it would if she were poisoned.

We've given her naloxone,
and it seems to be helping.

- I'd say she's out of danger now.
- Excuse me.

William!

- We got it. The antidote.
- She wasn't poisoned.

Leonora. Come on.

- Leonora. Come on.
- Honey!

- Honey!
- What's happening?

- Leonora?
- What the hell did you do?

We need some help!

Is there a doctor here?

- Leonora!
- Get away.

Commencing CPR.

- What do we have here?
- Cardiac arrest.

- 6, 7, 8, 9...
- 160.

Release.

- Defibrillating.
- 1, 2, 3, 4...

Adrenaline.

Asystolic.

Come on... Please.

Who was the first person you kissed?

Her name was Matilda Friberg.

She was in the class above me.

Okay. My turn.
I choose truth, too.

Was it you who hit Theo?

- No.
- Okay.

It was Agnes.

Why did you do that?
Or why did she do it?

No more questions.
Your turn.

- Dare.
- Wimp.

Your parents left you.
You grew up with your uncle.

He was a magician.

But you were his sl*ve,
and one day you had enough.

Did I k*ll him?

You ran off and joined the circus.

And one night you sold your soul
to be the world's best magician -

- who could change reality.

Astrid, I don't know if...

Shh. It's not you.

It's fine.

It's not us.

How often do you think about
your little sister?

That depends.

- When did you think of her last?
- Yesterday.

Why?

Two sisters showed up
in the investigation.

They're older, and they were closer
than me and Jennifer -

- but the older one really took care
of her little sister.

And you can recognize yourself in that?

No, she's a lot better at it
than I was.

Your mother, was she diagnosed
with Münchhausen by proxy?

You changed the subject.

- Did I?
- Yes.

Was she diagnosed?

No.

But you sent them to prison.
Both her and your father.

Yes, I acted on the information
I had at that time -

- and was forced to get
Jennifer out of there.

- So you took care of your sister.
- Not well enough.

- What do you think of your mother now?
- I don't think about her.

Not at all?

Never?

Sometimes I'm forced to.
I got some boxes from her estate.

What was in them?

Memories of Jennifer.

Everything was from,
or rather about her.

Nothing about you?

No, I was cut out from the pictures
where we were together.

- How did you feel?
- I don't know.

Try to put it into words.

Why?
Can't we just continue?

Try. It's important.

It...

It didn't feel good.

Good.

Hey.

- Did it go well?
- She wasn't as concrete this time.

Have you found out more
about the people from the shop?

Yeah. Moyo Mayers is a drug offender.
The others are clean.

There's no connection to
Thormod, Dahlqvist, or Sonning.

We got an initial report
from Forensics on Sonning's car.

A hair was found, and the DNA results
are coming tomorrow. Car wasn't hotwired.

What Henrik means is Thormod
knew the person who called.

Why?

Because she left Taariq
to get into an unknown car.

Maybe they said they were from the police
and someone she knew was in the hospital.

- Hospital police don't send out cars.
- You think people think about that?

If I call you and say something happened
to your husband, would you hesitate?

- Yes, because I'm not married.
- But if you were married.

- Would you think it was strange?
- Yes.

Okay, of course you would, but...

So we don't know if Margrethe knew
the person who called or picked her up.

No.

I don't think we'll get further tonight.

- Want to come home?
- Are you going to cook?

- Will the girls be there?
- I assume so.

I'll eat, and then we'll see.

- Wow. You look nice.
- Thanks.

- Are you going out?
- Yeah.

With a man?

I'm going to eat with Lars Rasmussen
from the prosecutor's office.

- Are you together?
- No, it's the first time.

- You didn't meet anyone after Hans?
- No.

- It was almost two years ago.
- I know that, Saga.

But surely you have sex
with someone or something.

- See you tomorrow.
- Have a really nice evening.

Hello?

Girls?

What the hell?

No...

The necklaces.
They f*cking took them.

They f*cking took everything.

I'm hungry.
Are you going to cook anyway?

- Am I... Am I going to do what?
- Are you going to cook?

No, I don't think I'm going
to do that right now, okay?

I'm going. I need to be alone
to mull things over.

- Mull what over? Our child?
- The embryo? No, I've already decided.

I've decided to get rid of it.

You've decided?

So why did you even tell me
if you didn't want to keep the child?

- I thought you'd want to know
- Know what?

That it's something I'd really want
but can't have?

- Why do you want it?
- Because it's ours. It's a child.

Not yet.

You think it can replace your daughters,
just like with those girls.

You're dead wrong.
Just go, and I'll see you tomorrow.

Bye!

- Hi. You're here.
- Yeah, but I'm leaving.

I can't do this.

- But you are here.
- I'm sorry.

I need to go.

You're looking for them, but not us.

- It's been a while, eh?
- What's up?

See ya.

I, Hans Torgny Pettersson,
take you, Lillian Larsen -

- to be my wife.

Lillian, I was unbelievably lucky
to have met you -

- and that you chose to be mine.

It wasn't luck.
It was a miracle.

Everything is so much easier
when we're together.

You are my true love
and my best friend.

What do you want?

I've thought it over about the child.

- Okay.
- I don't want to have it.

But you do. So I think I'll give birth,
and then I'll give it to you.

You'll give it to me?

I'll sign away all rights and duties.

You'll have custody. I'll have nothing
else to do with it. What do you think?

What about you?

- Where are you in all this?
- Nowhere.

The child becomes yours, not mine.
And we can have sex sometimes.

Mull it over.

- I will.
- Good.

Saga...

Do you want to stay here?

I could really use your company.

[ Jacuzzi m*rder Connected
to Stoning in Denmark ]

When you were out...
When you were robbed.

What were you really doing?

The alarm company called.
The alarm went off at work.

- What happened?
- Nothing, it seems.

It was just a false alarm.

Morgan...

- Did you notice the baby today?
- No, what about it?

It's too bad people don't have
more training in biology.

Then maybe your brother
might have wondered -

- why their baby has brown eyes -

- even though he and Nicole
both have blue eyes.

- And that doesn't make sense?
- No, sweetie. It doesn't.

Nicole was f*cking around.

- f*ck.
- What a surprise, huh?

Good morning.

William Ramberg k*lled his daughter
in Malmo last night.

- What does he have to do with us?
- A hospital clown was involved.

- Is Ramberg here?
- Go question him at the hospital.

If you can.

Saga Norén, Malmo Police.

Do Margrethe Thormod or Patrik Dahlqvist
mean anything to you?

William.
Have a look at these photos.

Do you recognize either of them?

- I k*lled her.
- We know.

But do you recognize either of them?

I thought she was poisoned.

Why did you think that?

Patrik was a clown at the same hospital.

So maybe he was the real victim
and not his brother.

So we think there's a connection
between Margrethe, Patrik, and Leonora?

- A 12-year-old girl is unlikely.
- William is hard to hit.

So they get his daughter instead.

So a connection between
Margrethe, Patrik, and William.

- Is there one?
- We haven't found one yet.

- Hello, it's Henrik.
- Hey, it's Kevin.

- Sorry if I'm disturbing you.
- That's fine, Kevin. What's up?

You didn't come yesterday.
To the meeting.

It was a hard night,
but everything is okay.

You know you can always call
if you're having a hard time.

There's no danger.
I'll get through it.

- Nothing happened.
- You know that...

You're the only one who's really
right in the head here.

I missed you.

- Thanks for thinking about me.
- Yeah, of course.

I promise not to miss any more meetings.

- See ya.
- Yeah, see ya. Take care of yourself.

Bye.

Hey. I thought we'd go in the forest
so we could hunt for real.

Sure, but I don't know
if I want to k*ll an animal.

You don't need to.
You can just enjoy being out in nature.

Okay.

Christoffer?

Is that you, Frank?

Hi, Sofie.

- Sorry you had to wait.
- What did you find?

She was poisoned, as we know.
A fast-working neurotoxin.

Hundreds of different toxins.
All peptides.

Small proteins that block ion channels.

They stopped the nerve signals
to the muscles -

- including the heart.
That's what she d*ed of.

The poison Leonora d*ed of
probably came from a cone snail.

- Where are they found?
- In coral reefs.

Or aquariums, or laboratories
where medicine is made from the poison.

Is anyone in our investigation
connected to the pharmaceutical industry?

- Not that we know of.
- The video?

Sent from a phone we can't trace.
But nothing reveals the person's identity.

- But there are some dead pixels.
- Which are?

It's exactly what it sounds like.
Look at this.

The small black squares are dead pixels.

- How does that help us?
- Not at all right now.

But if we find the camera,
it's like a fingerprint.

So that video made William
k*ll his daughter.

The others did the k*lling themselves.

Maybe they're not working together.
We just think that -

- because Margrethe and Richard
had a connection to Red October.

If Patrik was the real victim,
then that connection doesn't matter.

So the victims aren't connected.
Three totally different methods.

- Could it be the same perpetrator?
- Stoning.

Electricity.

Poison.

All three are methods of execution
for the death penalty.

- How many different methods are there?
- Seven around the world.

Those on the board, sh**ting,
hanging, gas, and beheading.

So there's four left.
