Stoning. Electricity. Poison.

- All three are execution methods.
- How many different methods are there?

The three on the board, sh**ting,
hanging, gas, and decapitation.

So there's four left.

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

- Where were you?
- In Hamburg with my wife.

- Didn't you know the lady who was stoned?
- I knew who she was, but that's it.

The poison that k*lled Leonora
probably came from a cone snail.

They disappeared almost 8 years ago.
I'm wondering, should I put it behind me?

Good to hear you speak.
Really.

- I'm pregnant.
- And I'm the father?

I've only had sex with myself and you
the last two years.

I think we've found new houseguests.
They have it really bad.

We have newcomers here.

Is that you, Frank?

Hi, Sofie.

Did you really think you could hide here?
Sofie, for f*ck's sake...

It works for a little while,
but I find you every time.

Come on.

Can't you just go?

Wouldn't you like that?
Then you could be with your guy there.

He helped me and Christoffer.
That's all.

He's a good person.
Everyone here is a good person.

Come on.

Sofie...

Stop forcing me to hurt you.

Come on.

- Hey, Sofie.
- Hey.

- How are you?
- Good. This is Dan Brolund, a friend.

- Harriet.
- Hi, Dan.

- Come on.
- Do you have a minute?

We're helping Andersson this weekend.
What task would you like?

- Can we talk later? We're a little busy.
- Yes, but it'll only take a minute.

Didn't you understand?
We don't have time, okay?

We take care of each other here,
Dan Brolund.

But if we need the police,
we call them.

I know where you live,
and I'm coming back, okay?

Look over there.

Hey.

What the hell are you doing
with my son?

- Just go. You shouldn't be here.
- Come, Christoffer. Come.

Leave the kid in peace.
Get out of here.

He's not your f*cking kid.

Okay.

- Don't do anything dumb.
- Leave my family alone. Understand?

Do you understand?

- Stay far away from my family!
- Dad!

Leave him alone.

Christoffer, it's people like him
who destroy things with you, me, and Mom.

Come on, let's go home
and get Mom.

Christoffer...

Christoffer, it's going to be okay.

It's going to be okay.
It was an accident.

I'll take care of it.

THE BRIDGE IV

Is it true that sharks die
if they stop swimming?

Most of them sink because
they don't have swim bladders.

So they die if they stop swimming.

If they stop breathing,
then they stop swimming.

- And then they die.
- If they don't start swimming again.

Hi. Lene Jensen.
You wanted to talk to me?

Saga Norén, Malmo Police.

Conus geographus.
It's not a snail people keep at home.

Cone snails' toxins can be deadly,
and it eats fish.

- We know. Do you have any here?
- Yes, we do. A couple.

Then we need a list of all personnel
who have access to them.

If people have them at home,
could we find out who they are?

You don't have to register them,
if that's what you mean.

- They're used in pharmaceuticals.
- Yes, they are.

Do you know where the closest lab is?

There aren't any in Denmark.
Not in Sweden, either.

I didn't ask where they weren't.
I asked where the closest lab is.

In Germany, as far as I know.
Hamburg.

I delivered to Sweden.

- The goods were stolen.
- Are you talking about the weapons now?

I figured it was Dimitri.
Dimitri Vassilij.

I sh*t his right-hand man.

You're confessing to some serious crimes.

I want to find the fucker
who k*lled Leonora.

You were the one who k*lled Leonora.

He's going to die.

No matter what you do to protect him,
where you put him...

He's going to die.

We just need to find him first, eh?

Do you recognize any of those people?

Dan. Dan Brolund.

Is it him?

Dan Brolund drove cocaine
for William Ramberg in the early 2000s.

Did nine months for it.

William stopped working with him
when the weapons were stolen.

So Dan Brolund also has a connection
to two of the victims.

It seems a bit random that he drove
Margrethe Thormod to the gay bar, no?

Maybe.

Forensics confirms Margrethe Thormod's
hair was found in Morgan's car.

And Margrethe Thormod knew
Malene Sonning.

Yeah, but the Sonnings' Hamburg trip
hasn't been confirmed yet, right?

No, but if they were, that's where
poison from the cone snail is extracted.

There you are.

You knew Margrethe Thormod.

Knew...
We were part of the same organization.

- How was your relationship?
- We didn't have a relationship.

- She wasn't after your role as Chairman?
- Where'd you hear that?

Just answer the question.

We had different views on
how we could make a difference.

So she wanted to be Chairman.

- Can someone interpret the direction...
- Sorry for interrupting.

But if I understand this correctly -

- the m*rder of Thormod is linked to
the murders of Dahlqvist and Ramberg.

What were my client's motives
for k*lling them?

- We can't get into that now.
- No, because you have no motive.

The only thing you have is a car that
neither my client nor her husband drove.

- Because they claim they were in Hamburg.
- Here are the tickets from Hamburg.

With the date, as you can see.

We need the original files
to confirm the date.

While you verify the details,
I expect my client has permission to go.

You don't think it seems strange?

- You don't need to answer that.
- I have no comment.

I talked to all of the men
who worked with Alice.

None of them saw her
outside of work -

- and she didn't talk to any of them
about problems at home.

- You believe them?
- Yes.

And I can't prove they're lying.

We need to put it ad acta.
I'm not getting anywhere.

You tried.
That's how it is.

I just need to live with it.

Oh, there you are.

Morgan's alibi from when Patrik d*ed
and when the clown was at the hospital.

The Sonnings are each other's alibis
for all three killings.

- It's enough to release him, apparently.
- Did he say anything else?

The usual. Hamburg, car at the shop,
curious when the gay guy called.

His name was Taariq. Taariq Shirazi.
Is that so f*cking difficult?

When Taariq called, okay?

Here are the tickets from Hamburg.
They need to be verified.

If they were in Hamburg,
who drove Morgan's car?

- Fun to drive, huh?
- Yeah, it's fantastic.

- Have you tried?
- No, I want to keep my job.

Let me know if you change your mind.
I'd like some company.

What are you doing?

What are you doing here?
Why aren't you at home?

They called. I had to meet a customer.
What are you doing?

- I borrowed a car.
- You have a car.

Yeah, but I borrowed a car
that's fun to drive to unwind a bit.

- How did you get into the cabinet?
- Are you serious?

2330.
You use the same code for everything.

Hey. It's not the end of the world, is it?

What if something happened?

Well, it never has.

- You did this before?
- Oh, stop it.

Okay?

Come on.
We need to shop for the party.

Come on.

- What's that?
- Prunes.

- Want some?
- No, thanks.

It is something you're having
because you're pregnant?

No, I'm constipated.

Oh, okay.

My breasts are bigger, too.
Have you noticed?

They are. The nipples, too.

No, I hadn't noticed.

I thought about what you said.
Your proposal.

I'd like to have it.
I'd like to have the baby.

Okay. Good.

You said you wanted
nothing to do with it -

- but we can still see each other, right?

If you can find
a babysitter sometimes.

Yeah, I can.

Christoffer.

Christoffer.

Christoffer!

Come on. Let's go.

- We can still call the police.
- We moved the body.

- It was an accident.
- Yes, it was.

But they won't believe that
after everything he's done.

I understand it was terrible for you,
but it wasn't your fault.

You can't forget that.
It wasn't your fault.

You can't say anything.

Especially not to your mother.
Understand?

We need to say something.

Okay.

Say that we met him,
and I threatened him with the g*n -

- and said it would be really, really bad
if he came back.

Christoffer.
Christoffer.

Look at me.

If this gets out, I can't protect
you anymore. Understand?

We met him, I threatened him -

- and I said it would be really bad
if he came back.

You can do this.
You're strong.

Dan was here. He knows where we live.
We need to move.

I'm so sorry, love,
but we're not safe here.

He's not coming back.
Frank took care of it.

We met him in the forest,
and Frank threatened him and said -

- it would be really bad
if he came back.

We're safe here, Mom.

He's not coming back.

We don't have any more questions now,
but we might come back.

- What did they want?
- It was about my brother's car again.

- But they already asked you about that.
- Yeah.

- What did you say, then?
- That the keys were locked up.

- And that we were at the hospital.
- Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, right.

What?

No, nothing.

I want you to make a list.

Of what?

Of the people who have
affected you the most.

- Affected how?
- In all ways. Positive and negative.

Those who have had
the greatest influence on your life.

Who made you into who you are.

It's not just people who have made me
into who I am. There's many other factors.

I know that, but I'd like you
to make a list anyway.

Have you had any more panic att*cks?

No, but I'm still sleeping badly.

I can make sure you get
something calming to help you.

No, I'm in week 7. I don't want
to expose the fetus to any risks.

- You're pregnant?
- Yes, with my colleague, Henrik.

Then you have another name
for the list.

What's up?

Hi, Henrik. It's me.

- Hello? It's Kevin.
- Kevin?

- Hey.
- Yeah?

- Are you at a party?
- No, I'm just out at a bar.

I've had a little to drink.
I think I need something stronger.

Kevin, don't do that, man.
Where are you?

- Just by the station.
- I'm coming now. Don't touch anything.

My father d*ed 4 years ago today.

I'm sorry.

He gave me my first joint when
I turned 17. He said it was time.

Okay.

This...

We were going to see them
at Old Trafford.

It never happened.

He d*ed, and...

Yeah, then I started using dr*gs more.

Until finally I thought
I could fly from a balcony.

It didn't go so well.

He was really good at promising things.
People trusted him.

Everyone really liked him,
even if he was really a piece of sh*t.

But he was still my dad.

Thanks for coming.

I didn't have anyone else to call.

All you need to do is call.

We can't stay. We need to go now.
He's coming back.

- No, Mom, he's not coming back.
- He will. He never gives up.

Understand?
I'm so f*cking sorry, Christoffer -

- but we have to leave.
That's how it is.

f*cking listen to what I'm saying!
He's going to k*ll us!

He's never coming back.
I sh*t him.

In the forest, Mom. It was an accident.
I tripped.

Is he...
Is he dead?

It was an accident.

An accident...

Of course it was.

You can't tell Frank you know.

No, no.
Come here.

I understand.

- You come here?
- Yes.

I made a list of people who have been
important in my life.

Hans meant a lot to me.

Most of the people who meant a lot to me
either d*ed -

- or left.

You have Henrik.
You're good for each other.

- How do you know that?
- I can see it.

I see.

Take care of what you have.
It can end so quickly.

But I think Henrik means more to you
than you might understand.

Goodnight.

- Hi. You're here?
- Unfortunately.

- How close are you to an arrest?
- Not especially close.

- They're keeping an eye on you.
- Aren't they always?

More now. It looks like everything
is being leaked out of here.

- You can't afford any more mistakes.
- I didn't know I'd made any.

Taariq Shirazi was released.

Because we thought he knew more
than he told us. We were right.

- He sh*t himself.
- Because of the thr*at of deportation.

Two homeless girls lived
in the home of your detective.

- Who said that?
- Did it not happen?

We had a choice between
a safe environment or the jail.

We could've been criticized for that, too.

I'm on your side, but that's not enough
if you don't take control of this.

- I'd like to ask for your help.
- Okay.

I want you to check these numbers.

- One of these numbers is Jonas'.
- They're all Jonas'.

I want to know who he calls.
Texts, Skype, everything.

And he can't know anything,
but you know that.

- Do you really want to run the risk?
- I need to.

- This doesn't feel right, Lillian.
- It's an order.

Are you sure it's not too early?

Yeah, it's fine.
It'll be good to get started again.

- Only if you can handle it.
- Of course I can handle it.

Thanks.

Okay, my name is Niels Thormod,
and I'm a psychologist.

- I'm here to help you.
- With what? Getting us out of here?

I understand you want that.

You can't just lock us up.
We haven't f*cking done sh*t.

- Can you tell me your names?
- We want to talk to Henrik the policeman.

If I'm going to help you,
you need to tell me your names.

Did you not hear me?
We want to talk to Henrik.

- Can you not talk to me?
- We're not saying sh*t.

We need to talk to Henrik.

- When did you get in yesterday?
- Late.

- Did you sleep?
- A little.

What's that?

It's a list for you of food
that could negatively affect the fetus.

- You're going to eat here more often?
- Yes, you're good at cooking.

- But you're looking for your own place?
- Not at the moment.

So you're going to live here?

Yes.

But you need realistic expectations.
I'm not good at it.

Then it's going to go well.

I tried to live with someone before.
It was a failure.

But that wasn't with me.

Henrik Sabroe.

Okay, I'm coming.

I need to run.
See you there.

We're sorry we took your things.

We liked you, so it was dumb.

Where are the necklaces? One had a heart
and one had a handprint.

- We sold them.
- Great. Bye, then.

Wait! We saw him.
My sister saw him.

The guy we took the phone from.
The m*rder*r.

Is that true?

Try with a little longer hair.

- You said it was dark, right?
- Yep. Dark.

Brown eyes.

Try to bring them closer together.

I need to run. Can we get it
as soon as it's ready?

Are you coming back?

Maybe.

Try to make the nose a little bigger.

They saw the car here yesterday. When it
was still here, they called the police.

- Is that Dan Brolund's taxi?
- Yes.

No signs of v*olence either
inside or outside of the car.

What was he doing in this area?

There's a town out here.

You can go.

He was here yesterday. He threatened
and tried to kidnap his ex-wife.

He was very unpleasant
when I met him.

- Who's the ex-wife?
- Sofie Björk.

She and her son have lived here
since a week ago.

- Did you report the kidnap attempt?
- I didn't.

- What Sofie did, I don't know.
- Why didn't you report it?

We try to take care of ourselves
without outside interference.

- We?
- In the town. My town.

- Is it your town?
- Yeah. I decide who lives here.

And who can live here, then?

Good people. Honest, helpful,
understanding, empathetic.

So you're trying to create an ideal
community? A utopia will never work.

You don't believe in the good in people?

I don't think anyone is completely good,
if goodness can be defined.

Mankind's longing for the perfect life
has never been realized.

- You mean we should stop trying?
- No, but you won't succeed.

If we can put the philosophy aside,
we'd like to hear more about Dan Brolund.

- The police are here. At Harriet's.
- For Dan?

- They found his taxi abandoned nearby.
- I can't do this.

Can't we just tell them?

That we didn't mean to.

No, we talked about that.
Why would they believe it?

He abused you for years.

Think about the consequences.
You're 17 and legally responsible.

You're all Sofie has.

Go somewhere. Stay there.

I'll fix this. I'll help you.

Okay. Thanks, Frank.

- This is Frank.
- Frank Wahlgren. Hi.

I helped Sofie with everything
that's happened.

Saga Norén, Malmo Police.
This is Henrik Sabroe.

- Sabroe? And Norén?
- Yes.

Will you come in?
Do you want some coffee?

- No.
- Yeah, I'd love some.

But then Harriet stopped us
in the driveway -

- and then he left.
I haven't seen him since.

It doesn't look like he went back
to the taxi.

- So no one's seen him since.
- No.

Are you sure you haven't seen
any of them before?

Maybe together with him?

I think I recognize him.

From where?

I think he drives taxis.

Thanks.

For not saying anything
about Christoffer.

Christoffer told me
that you met Dan.

- What else did he say?
- Nothing.

He said you scared him away.

What if he comes back?

We'll worry about that then.

Christoffer.

Are you crying?

Because of my father.

What about him?

The first time he hit me,
I was three.

I can't remember it,
but my mom told me.

It was so nice
when he was in prison.

I used to wish he never get out.

Is that why you never talk about him?

- Because he was in prison?
- Among other things.

Has your father ever hit you?

No. He's good.

He does his best.

What do you mean?

Nothing.
He's good.

But it hasn't always been easy for him.

Or for us.

Because of your mother?
You never talk about her either.

Among other things.

I like you.

I like you, too.

Oops.

Speaking of Dan...

I thought that...

Wouldn't it be just as nice
if you moved into my house?

We have lots of space.
You can each have a room.

Christoffer and Astrid are friends.
It will be safer for you.

Theo's son can take this,
so we can resolve that.

Yeah...

Know what? Forget it.
If you don't want to, then...

I just want to help you, but if you
don't want my help anymore...

It's not like that, Frank.

If you want to live in the house
I got you, you should.

You know best.

Wait.

We'll do it.

We'll move into your house.

Okay. Good.

- I saw the cake.
- Yeah, it's super cool, don't you think?

- It's in the shape of a baby.
- Yeah, I know that.

I sent Lotte a picture.

I thought she would put it on top -

- but then she made
a whole baby cake instead.

It'll be like we're eating our child.

It's just a cake, Tobias. No?

- Did you get the balloons?
- Knock, knock!

Hi. We came a little earlier,
if you need our help with anything.

Wow. There's not much space,
but if there were, you'd have used it.

We're so excited about the name
you chose for the little one.

He's so sweet.
He'll be a real charmer with those eyes.

- Is there anything we can help with?
- I have a lots of balloons to blow up.

You can just pick him up if you want.

No, thanks.

There's something we need to talk about.

Hello?

- Hi, my dear.
- Hi, Mom.

I'm so glad you came.
Tobias?

- Can you come down here and help?
- Coming.

- Is that him?
- According to the pickpockets, yeah.

Morgan Sonning?
It could definitely be Morgan Sonning.

Maybe, but we need more
if we're going to take him in.

- Where's Saga?
- In Malmo. She had something to do.

So what do we do with him?
Do we announce it?

No, we'll just get a lot of useless tips
that take time and focus.

But what if he kills again?
That wouldn't look good, would it?

No, because everything we investigate
ends up in the press.

- So what do we do?
- We wait.

Lillian. Hi.

Sorry to disturb. You're busy.
The other night...

- Yeah, I can explain.
- No need. Restaurant, white tablecloths.

It was really date-like.
I understand that.

- Have you eaten lunch?
- No.

- Do you eat lunch?
- Yeah.

- Thank you.
- Thanks.

- Here you are.
- Thanks. And the money.

- Do you want ketchup?
- Yeah, thanks.

How's it going
in the prosecutor's office?

The mood's a little tense.

You know my colleague Vibeke?
You know how much she likes her horse.

It is the same one she had
a couple years ago? Nicki?

I can remember when it
was having surgery.

Vibeke chose to be there
when it woke up -

- instead of her husband's
50th birthday party.

Then they got divorced, so...

Anyway, some idiots gassed it last night.

- The horse.
- Gassed?

They sent a video
showing how they did it.

Is it okay if we take this back?

- Thanks.
- Have a good day.

There we are.

You get a little foot.

There you are.

I got a foot!

Sonny Tybolt Johansson.
Didn't you talk about those Y names?

- It's not so easy. Think about her ex.
- The kid's going to be in the special class.

- It's different with Y names in Denmark.
- You should move there.

Oh, for f*ck's sake.

- You weren't invited.
- I didn't want to be.

Then why the hell are you here?

- Hi, sweetie.
- Hi, Grandma.

I just came to see if it was true.
That you don't give a sh*t about my son.

I've moved on.
Like normal people do.

You're not a normal person at all.
You're a cheap little whore.

- Then f*ck the hell off.
- Don't touch me!

Don't touch me.

Bye, Solveig.
Goodbye, Solveig.

Dead pixels.

The same place as the clown video.
It's filmed with the same camera.

Why didn't he send a video
of the first two murders?

- Are we sure he didn't do it?
- Not that we know.

- Just check again.
- What happened?

We got another video.
A horse that was gassed.

- A horse?
- Yeah.

Look here. There's some extra frames
before the film starts.

Try to go back and pause.

Morgan Sonning has that watch.
It's identical.

- Is it enough? Can we take him in?
- Yeah.

- Hey.
- Hey.

This isn't so fun anymore.
I'm not saying sh*t without my lawyer.

Okay.

Sit down, thanks.

Okay.
What the hell do you want to know?

This is you.

- Yeah, it could be. So what?
- The camera that took those photos...

HERO4 Silver Edition. 4000 kroner.

- Where is it now?
- Don't you have it?

It was in the car.

- The car that picked up Thormod?
- Yeah. My Audi.

That was lucky for you, huh?

- You haven't missed the camera?
- No, not especially.

But like I said,
I thought you had it.

Was there anything else?

Do you have a couple minutes?

Can I go now, or?

We restored some files from the spam
filter on Richard Dahlqvist's computer.

Go! Hello? Get out!

The same dead pixels.

- Did Thormod get a video too?
- Jonas is over there now.

- How's it going with Sonning?
- He said the camera was in the Audi.

But he can stay a bit longer.
I need to check something out.

They can't see you,
but you can see them.

Good.

Take a good look and see if you stole
the phone from any of those men.

I don't know.

Take a good look at them.

No. No, no. Don't look at your sister.
Look at those men.

Do you recognize any of them?

I didn't see him at all.

We just made it up.
We wanted to go home with you.

I'm sorry.

Do you understand there's five men
sitting in jail because of you?

Out. Out!

- What's going on?
- Just get out. Both of you. Out.

If they want to contact us again,
don't call me, okay? Get out.

Okay, what do we have to work with?

Hamburg Police are examining the tickets,
but it looks like they were really there.

We have the poison from that snail.

Impossible to trace.

The workers at The National Aquarium
have no connection to the case.

So that doesn't need to be there.

And we can forget him, too.

- Oh, for f*ck's sake.
- Bad day.

We need to shift focus to the horse.

The horse was clearly directed
against Vibeke -

- exactly like Leonora
was against William.

So the victims aren't victims.

It's those closest to them that suffer.
That's why they get a film.

Niels Thormod. Richard Dahlqvist.
William Ramberg.

Vibeke Jacobsen.

There must be a connection
between them.

Yeah, that was damn good.

Then we know where to start tomorrow.

What's wrong?

- What?
- Cramps.

In your stomach?

Is it something with the baby?

Shouldn't we just check it out?
Just to be safe.

I had an abortion.

Early today, when I was in Malmo.
That's why.

Henrik?

Henrik!

I understood from your reaction that
maybe I should explain myself.

I did it so we could be together.

I can't be here
if there's a child here.

You know I can't.
And I want to be with you.

What the f*ck are you thinking?

What I just said.

Do you really think
I want to be with you now?

It seemed like it, I thought.

- Before you k*lled my baby.
- It wasn't a baby.

An embryo. Call it whatever you want.
Get out. I don't want to look at you.

- But I thought you'd understand.
- Understand what?

You don't f*cking know me at all.
Come on, get out.

When one is in love, the brain's reward
system releases neurotransmitters -

- like serotonin and dopamine.

The amount of the hormone oxytocin
also increases in the body.

Do you want to go?

Oxytocin can affect memories,
and serotonin creates insomnia -

- but most of all, it gives
a feeling of pleasure.

I think I'm in love with you.

I don't think you're in love.
Because I don't think you can love.

You have no idea what it is.

Now get out, man.

Go.
