Post by bunniefuu »

Five people were chained
below deck

Probably kidnapped

-Someone else will help you.
-Why not Martin?

I don't know how he'll respond
to seeing you again

g*dd*mn, it's been ages!
I'm not living with Mette anymore

But we had twins,
did you know?

Oh? I'm living with a guy
named Jakob Sandberg

-I want to be good at this.
-At what?

At having a relationship

I know who were on the ship.
They left the club at 3:45 am

-There is a camera there.
-I'll check with John.

-A fox...
-Flashing lights

You'd think they were
abducted by aliens

-Did that ship run aground?
-I don't know.

We'll get a 12,
with me doing all the work

-Hi
-I'm at the stables with Tina

Do you want to know what happened to Maria?

-I keep seeing him
-Jens, your son's k*ller?

Everywhere. He's in here

I'm lying to myself and others.
But inside, nothing's happening

What the hell are you doing?

Put out the fire!
Put it out!

I want to seeJens in prison

-Axel Mollberg. I've got some footage
-Do you know where it headed after?

Saga, you need to come with me now

Two more have d*ed from pneumonic plague

We're to be quarantined

I've been with my ex-wife and kids

Someone wants to create
an outbreak of pneumonic plague

Three people have d*ed

at Sk?ne University Hospital in Malm?

Another two are in critical condition.

With us now Filippa Belinder,
from the Institute for Disease Control

What should one do if infected?

You should see a doctor.

Especially if you display
the symptoms...a high fever...

I don't know.
Check that with your mother.

But this disease is treatable

Did she say that?
Did Anna-Dea say that?

So I think you should do it.

Yes, I'll visit you soon.
Kiss.

That's your third call today

Just to make sure they're fine.
Can you blame me?

It's transmitted primarily
through coughing,

so the risk of you
infecting them is minimal

-Now you're a virus expert?
-It's not a virus. It's a bacterium.

Think out loud, Saga

Someone kidnaps five people,
infects them with plague

and puts them on a ship
that goes aground

No one claims responsibility
after two days

The results are negative
for both of you.

-And negative's a good thing here?
-That's correct

I need to talk to the
Faxborg kids again

We lost another
one this morning.

But there are two left, right?

They're in critical condition.

They're not reacting
to the antibiotics.

So maybe you can talk
to them when they get stable.

No, not maybe.
You'll call

-Are you ready?
-Yes.

Saga Nor?n, Malm? County Police

Hello. Pernille Lindegaard,
Copenhagen Police.

We're here to assist
with the five kids from the boat

It's a ship.
And three of them are dead

-Saga Nor?n, Malm? County Police
-Rasmus Larsson

I've looked into these plague bacteria

Basically all hospitals and research
centres in the region stockpile them

Like Sk?ne University Hospital

It's impossible to trace
these bacteria

Hello. I'm Martin.
Welcome

Thanks

-Hi, I'm Rasmus Larsson.
-Hi

Do you know each other?

I've seen you before, but no

-No. It'll be nice to work together.
Do you want go for a coffee?

-Yeah.
-Rasmus?

-What?
-Come on, Rasmus.

-John?
-Yes?

-Heard from Helsingor?
-I haven't received the footage

Why not?

I'm trying,
but they're taking their time

Saga, they found the life raft

Where?

A farmer saw them go ashore
in Lomma, two days ago

He called the police yesterday,
but no one came out

Coast, Lomma...

-Pernilla
-Pernille with an 'E'

-Pernilla
-Pernille

Right. Go to Helsingor
to get some footage from them

-I can go
-No.

They found the life raft

It's not personal.
She doesn't know my name either

-Where are you going?
-With you

No

You'll investigate the link between
places that stockpile the bacteria...

..and any of those kids

Ok

-There were three of them
-Male or female?

I don't know

They had these
overalls and caps on

Both men and women, I think

-You 'think' or you 'know'?
-They got into a car waiting up there.

-What make and color?
-I don't know cars. But it was red

-Big or small?
-Pretty small. And red

Yes, you said that.
Didn't you see the plate number?

Someone was waiting in the car?

Yes

-Male or female?
-I don't know. The only thing I recall is that it was red

Saying it over and over
does not make it any more helpful

How did it go?

We found it.
Techs are looking at it

Three people left the Faxborg
in a life raft

A fourth waited for them
in a red vehicle....there

-A red vehicle? Is that all you got?
-Yes. Red and small.

Saga

These kids can't be connected...

..to places that stockpile
plague bacteria

-No, I didn't think so
-Saga, Martin, look at this

An online video
with 4000 hits in an hour

The clip is called
'Friends of Faxborg'.

What the hell is it?

Angola had an outbreak of
pneumonic plague in May

WHO says 319 people d*ed

Three people were
on the life raft,

one was waiting in the car

"The world is bigger than us."

They said something
about a fox in the hospital

-So they're claiming responsibility
-Their message is online too

It doesn't prove that they did it

Zoom in. The pin on the jacket

This was found on Maria Holst

The group has the resources
to steal a ship,

kidnap five people,
retrieve and handle plague bacteria

They claim it, leave a symbol

Know why they leave a symbol?

So people know it's them next time

-Hi
-Hi, Frida

Frida!

-Frida!
-What's going on?

-Does it hurt?
-No.

Nice try,
but you still have to take it

Why did you do it, Linus?

-Was it for money?
-No

I just wanted to show those guys

So they'd let me in for real

-Point them out
-Come on

Point them out

Hey, you guys!

I'm Niklas, Linus' brother.
You hang out with him, right?

Sometimes

Anyway, he's doing fine

He'll make a full recovery

You are Albin, right?

Yes, but it was not my idea.
None of us forced him.

You didn't try
to stop him either.

Nice to meeting you guys.
Take care

The rat definitely looks like a man.
The pig is probably also a man

-The frog has appeared again.
-More infected?

No, a woman has d*ed
from a poisoned apple

Was her name Snow White?

We should have a talk
with her stepmother

-Where did she die?
-At her work

They had fruit delivered
to the office

All baskets are being recalled.
We've issued a warning

Saga!

-I'll go with you
-Why?

It'd be good to get out there

So why don't you go for a walk?

Then try to trace those animal masks

-We're just devastated
-Do you stock the fruit here?

No. We receive daily deliveries
from different suppliers.

I have a list

And I also have a list
of all our employees

We have seven employees.
Eight including me.

They start at six
and work till nine or ten

-Once the baskets are packed, then what?
-They go here

-No surveillance cameras?
-No.

Carts are brought in here,

and drivers wait for baskets here.

-Is the door always open?
-Yes, for the most part

-Have you seen this before?
-No.

-Positive?
-I've never seen that

-We'll look around a bit, ok?
-Ok.

Saga!
He came in this way

Okay, keep the kids away from
fruit for a little while.

Fine. Say hello and
give them all a hug. Thanks.

-Who was that?
-Jakob.

-You don't want to talk to him?
-No, I'm working.

-What does he do?
-I don't know.

After months of dating
you don't know what he does?

Should I?

If he doesn't want to say,
and you're not interested...

It's fantasy...comics or something

I'm not really interested

Am I a bad girlfriend?

-Does he ask you about your work?
-Yes

The job is one third
of our lives

When you ask about his work,
he feels you are interested in him

-Did you get the footage?
-Yes

Our Helsingor colleagues are many things,
but organised is not one

-When did they leave the club?
-3:45 am

Ok

This is where they leave

Stop. Zoom in

The guy on the right
wasn't on the ship

Do you have photos
from the fruit company?

Mads Nielsen

That's him.
Here is his address and info

Come!

Martin Rohde, Copenhagen Police.
Is Mads Nielsen in here?

Who?

Please step outside
so we can get into the apartment

-Are you from the police too?
-Yes

Can you do something
about my neighbours?

They play music
around the clock. Loud.

I've told him off,
but it didn't help.

-They're not playing it right now.
-Not right now.

You said they played it around the clock.

He's not here.

Well, too bad.
I could use a man around the house

Why laugh if it's not funny to you?

I wanted to acknowledge
her attempt at being amusing

It didn't seem real

-I need some practice
-Or maybe don't do it

Pernille has sent
information about him

No registered phone number

He has a criminal record

Petty drug charges
and assaulting officers at protests

What kind of protests?

Nuclear power. The G8 meeting.
Used to be in a Copenhagen activist group

-Do we have an address?
-Yep

There

Hey! Parking there costs money

Hello! I'm talking to you

-Martin Rohde
-Saga N?ren, Malm? County Police

Are you going to
attend the EU summit?

Yes.

Want to see our plans?

-Yes please
-Another time. We're looking for Mads

No idea where he is.
We threw that idiot out

- Okay. Why?
-He didn't fit in

-Why was that?
-We threw him out three years ago

He wanted to be a t*rror1st
rather than an activist. We did not

-Know where he to find him?
-I want no part of him

Do you know someone
who hangs out with him?

Sorry

Have you seen this before?
-No

-Look at it
-No

If you think of anything
related to Mads, call me

Still hang out with Mad Mads?
Cops are looking for him

-It costs money to park here
-Get away from the car

I said, it costs money to park here

-What don't you get?
-Go away

It costs money.
You're parked on my turf!

-I'm driving it away.
-It costs money to park here.

-Got it?
-Get the f*ck out of here!

Get the f*ck out of here!

f*ck!

Get in the car

-Just say it
-Say what?

It was f*cking stupid!

Yes, it was stupid.
They could report you. I'd be a witness

Did you see Jens in him?

Only two students got a 12
this time

Either my test was very hard...

or you didn't study hard enough

Here you go

Since there are so many absent,
we're not starting a new subject

Instead I'm going,
to review the test.

-I have to go out for a bit
-Sure

Let's begin...

-Hi, honey. Did they close the school?
-No, why would they?

Maybe because of that plague

I need 1,100 kroner

-For what?
-For a pair of shoes

-For 1100 kroner?
-1500 actually. I've got 400 kroner

You've got your allowance and your pay
from the IT company. That's it

I got 10 on the math test.

-Great. You must be happy
-Do I look happy?

You demand too much of yourself

If you get upset over a grade...

then what's going to happen
when you face real adversity?

-I'll try not to have any
-That won't cut it. OK?

-You can decide what we're having for dinner
-I don't want f*cking dinner

Today's winners
are the pharmaceutical industry

which has gone up by 8%.

The increase
is mainly

due to a high demand for
antibiotics to treat the plague.

-No, no
-The economy is boring if you're broke

Forget about those shoes, Laura

Easy for you to say. If you'd given me 12,
I wouldn't be depressed

Should I grade you higher
because we have sex?

-Yes, that would be nice.
-Yes. And dishonest.

Do you think you'll get
somewhere acting like that?

Wow, that's a new one

You can buy them for me.

Why would I do that?

I figure it's worth 1,500 kroner

What is?

You are my teacher, after all

That's not funny, Laura

Good. Because I'm not joking

Laura...
What's going on?

I'll pick them up tomorrow.

Come on, Laura

Laura!

-Mum, I'm off to bed.
-Good night, old man!

Quiet! I said quiet!

Do you remember me?
Linus' brother.

When I was little,
you know what

my parents and teachers
would say to me?

"You can't force
children to play

with each other
and like each other."

But I believe you can

Do we understand each other?

-You're late
-Had to deal with something

-Punctuality. Don't underestimate it, Niklas.
-We've got bigger problems

You're a wanted by the police

-What?
-Astrid texted.

The cops
have been there.

-When was that?
-A while ago

-And you didn't say anything?
-Maybe we should change locations?

What's that, Katarina?

-People are dying
-Yeah

It was one thing to plan it,
another thing to carry it out

Right, it's huge

Then we feel differently about it

-Do you regret it?
-No.

But they d*ed. That's the thing

You're awfully quiet

I like it.
I like that it's growing

I'm just here for the video.
Then I'm done

What?

I can't keep doing this,
I have to take care of Linus.

I'm all he's got

Nobody is leaving, okay?

Finish those signs.
I'll get the camera.

We've issued a warrant for Mads Nielsen
in Sweden and Denmark

A photo from Copenhagen
Climate Conference in 2009.

-Who's she?
-That's Astrid.

Can we put surveillance on her?

That will drain a lot of resources

We should focus
on Marcus Stenberg, right?

Is there anything besides Faxborg
tying him to the poisonings?

-No
-Then drop him

Mads Nielsen did a few months
for assaulting an officer

Here's a file on him, the group,
and similar networks in the region

What do you have?

The fruit companies are a dud.
About a hundred stores carry those masks.

Nothing on the frog amulet.
I'd say they made it themselves

Would it k*ll you to say thanks?

No

I gave you something
and you took it

'Thanks' would be nice

Right. Thanks

I'm out of here

Good night

-You have a car?
-Yes.

-Could you give me a ride?
-Of course.

-Thanks
-No problem

The Institute for Disease Control
projects limited spread...

..but cautions the public to remain
vigilant of any symptoms...

-What are you doing?
-Reading.

I can see that.
What are you reading?

Transmetropolitan Lust for Life

-Do you like it?
-No, I don't like comic books

-Then why are you reading it?
-I'm taking an interest in your work

-Your books told you to do that?
-No, Martin told me to

My job is more than
just reading comics

-There's a business side to it
-Yes

-But you couldn't care less what I do at work?
-No.

-But I could care about it
-Yeah...

Or maybe you don't have
to listen to that guy, Martin

-Are you annoyed with me now?
-A little bit

Hi, it's me again.
Sorry.

Please call me back
so I can explain

I was having a bad day
and I took it out on you. Sorry.

Your maths teacher called

Laura, wait. Wait!

Why are you doing this?
For some shoes?

It's not because of the damn shoes!

-I don't understand...
-No, and you never will!

You're always so f*cking content!

-Jesus, you scared the sh*t out of me!
-You're the pig. I saw your scar

-You guys k*ll people
-Linus, listen to me...

f*cking murderers.
You k*ll people!

-Linus...
-You're a m*rder*r!

m*rder*r!
I don't want to be alone!

-You won't be!
-If the police catch you!

-They won't.
-You don't know. m*rder*r

Damn, Linus, listen!
I get them things through work

I'm part of a group
but I've never k*lled anyone.

Do you hear me?
I'm not leaving you.

I promise

The wife found them like this

The dad tried to reach
the phone before he d*ed

The woman with the apple
had the same symptoms

Different-coloured liquids
in the glasses

-Is Martin coming?
-No.

Is he okay?

Yes. I'm trying to find
the receipt for this

Have you started
on the night shifts now?

I thought it'd be empty

I bet you did.
Why are you doing here?

I can't really go home,
so I thought I could crash here

-Why can't you go home?
-I had a fight with my dad

What about your girlfriend?

I don't want to see her right now

Can I stay?
Just for tonight

Sure, why the hell not?

Thanks. You're the best

By the way, do you know
anyone looking for a job?

Why?

-Lene is on sick leave
-I can work on reception

It's a full-time job.
You're in school

-I'll see if I can find someone
-Great

Good night

-Good morning
-Good morning

A father and his two children
d*ed yesterday

Poisoned by tiger prawns

This morning,
we found a golden frog..

...by the frozen prawns
in the supermarket

We've warned all shops, restaurants
and wholesalers to look out for a golden frog

-Good
-Here's a preliminary report

-Did you write this?
-Yes

You were at the crime scene last night?

I was thinking about the symbol

-The frog?
-It's a toad.

-Whatever, reptiles are reptiles
-They're amphibians, not reptiles

-Saga
-Yes?

-Just... carry on
-Yes

So "the golden toad"
could be found in Costa Rica until 1989

Their extinction was due
to climate change and human pollution

There's a pattern. The tiger prawn
industry is destroying the mangroves

In Sweden we have seen
calls to boycott them

The poisoned apples came
from South Africa.

Transportation impacts the environment

It's all about the negative
human impact on the environment

That's why they use the symbol

The plague is a way to point to...

...third world injustices

So that's what we're dealing with?
Some kind of pathos-driven eco-terrorism?

"The world is bigger than us."

Saga, Martin...
There's been another probable poisoning

Why you didn't answer
when I called last night?

I was busy

-Going to that family's place?
-Yes

Why didn't you call me?

I thought you needed sleep

Just because you learned to lie
doesn't mean you're any good at it

I told you that I like working with you,
because you treat me like you used to

Yes, but you're not
like you used to be

No

That may be true

But I don't want special treatment

I thought you of all people
would understand how I feel

I'm sorry

Boris Williams, 54 years old.
Environmental Economics professor

Rib-eye

-What are you looking for?
-The bill for the meat

How do you know it was the meat?

Biggest environmental impact

Five more stores have found the amulet

It's spreading.
Five stores

Two had cameras.
I 've asked them for the footage

Mads Nielsen worked
for the fruit company

Get me a list of all employees,
but focus on the newest ones

-Ok.
-Was one of the stores Olanders Livs?

No

-Is Rasmus there?
-Yes

Tell him to go to Olanders Livs

Tell him to look for the toad among the imported meats

Then have them shut down

Isn't that a job for a uniformed cop?

Yes, but he wanted to get out

Ok.

Police, thanks

-Saga.
-0-3-1-5.

Turn that off

It enhances the effects of the dr*gs

They kept them here
before they boarded the Faxborg

Don't touch it, Saga.
They had the plague

Come on, let's get out

-Have you traced the call?
-No, but take a look

It's CCTV footage from the stores
That girl is in Malm? at a 1:45pm

She enters...

And then,
an hour later...

...she's in Copenhagen

-Can you zoom in?
-Yes, but it won't be any clearer

Print the sharpest image you can

Saga! A new video

Looks like you were right

What's up?
Why are we meeting here?

The cops came into the harbour

-How did they find us?
-That's what we'd like to know

What?
You think it was me?

-Give me your phone
-What?

I said, give me your phone

-Mads...
-You shut up

-OK. Tonight as planned
-Have they already OK'd something?

This is our own initiative

Wait, if the cops know who we are...

They know about
the harbour, nothing else.

We're on for tonight

Ok

-Where are you going?
-To cook for Linus.

Everyone stays here
until the evening.

-How old is your brother?
-13 years old.

When I was 13 years old,
I took care of myself.

Sit down

Sit down

OK

This is the plan

-Can you help us?
-Do you speak English?

Mads, what the f*ck?
Cut it out!

Check it out

What am I looking at?

Twenty litres of gas

We have just got hold
of 20,000 litres of gas
