The Bridge (Bron/Broen)

SUMMARY

The lights on the bridge went out.

It went black for 45 seconds.

- Saga Norén. - Copenhagen Police.

Is she in Sweden or Denmark? Two women killed a year apart.

Dismembered and assembled.

- Someone wants to make a statement. - I can identify the lower body.

The father changed his mind.

We can't have the heart. Göran!

I've got the car's license number.

- It belongs to Daniel Farbé. - The journalist?

- Do you know Kerstin Ekwall? - Who?

It skipped a minute. What did you do?

Come back! Where are you going?

Daniel? Are you still there? Hello?

- It's clean. - Sorry about the drama.

I assume I have your attention now.

This is only a beginning. We've got interesting times ahead of us.

EPISODE 2

What the hell are you doing? No! Step back!

I've got her, I've got her.

THE BRIDGE

Can we deal with it when we get back? Which address?

It's an Internet address. Someone knows more than us.

What if you were in a car with a bomb and had five minutes left to live?

- He didn't have five minutes left. - But imagine thinking that.

- I'd try to get out. - It would have gone off.

Five minutes don't make much of a difference. Look.

"Equal Before The Law - a Myth."

In Swedish and Danish.

- "The Women on the Bridge." - In the plural.

- Have we said that there were two? - No. "They were just a beginning."

"Message to the police. Listen.”

Sorry about the drama, it's hard to make oneself heard today.

I assume I have your attention now.

He says it's just the beginning. Will there be more killing?

- Don't you ever have breakfast? - Sometimes.

- Do you plan to eat at all today? - Maybe later.

It's from Daniel Ferbé's car. Check the content.

- Can we eat before we interview him? - We're not handling it.

- Why not? - We've got specially trained staff.

- Interrogators? Not you? - No.

Aren't you curious? Which number is he in?

- Number three. - Come on.

- Hi. - Why am I here?

- Your car was used in a murder. - I worked all night.

Ask the editorial staff.

It's not random that your car was involved.

I know nothing about Kerstin Ekwall or bodies on the bridge.

You might know more than you think.

I'm sorry, I can't help you.

- I have a ticket to Berlin. - You're not going anywhere.

- Are you kidding? - No, I'm not kidding.

- I nearly died in that car. - No, you didn't.

There was dynamite in the backseat.

Why don't you try to catch the one that put it there?

I didn't do anything.

I just want to get out of here. Please.

A lunatic stole my car, it's not my problem.

But the drugs in your apartment are.

- Personal consumption. - You're still in possession.

We just want to know why.

- It was used in a double homicide. - I have no bloody idea!

Let's try to find out why.

- Interrogators never lie. - I'm not an interrogator.

- He might never trust us again. - He doesn't trust us anyway.

- How do you know? - I know his type.

- Based on the clippings you read? - No, I'm clever.

- Am I annoying you? - No, not yet. Why do you ask?

- I'll get a search warrant. - Or we can just go have a quick look.

No. The breakfast room is downstairs. You've got ten minutes.

Excuse me, where's room 3234? Thank you.

- Is this Christian? - Yes.

- I'm Charlotte Söringer. - I'm Ole.

- Are you the psychologist? - No, but...

My husband's very ill. He'll die without a new heart.

Your son's heart.

My son is breathing. His heart is beating. You can tell.

- I understand, but... - I want him here. Do you understand?

But he's not here. What was your son, is gone.

I don't want you to take his heart.

I can't imagine what this is like, but I love my husband.

Without your son's heart he'll die.

Then he'll have to die.

- Do you call this lunch? - Come here, you guys. Come listen.

- John. - The next listener is Jørgen.

My name isn't Jørgen, but that's irrelevant.

Have you heard about the two bodies on the bridge?

One was Danish, Monique Brammer.

A drug user and a prostitute. I killed her 13 months ago.

The investigation lasted two weeks.

Will they drop the Swedish politician's case?

It was on the radio an hour and a half ago.

- Have we traced the call? - Cash card.

- It's not the same voice. - Is it a group?

No, he says: "I think", "I killed".

Groups spread fear by saying that they're many.

- What now? - I'll reopen Monique's case.

We'll put a tail on Daniel Ferbé and hope that he's contacted again.

- And the web pages? - We're trying to locate the server.

Both links are on newspaper websites and blogs.

There's info only the killer could have.

- What does he want? - There's a message.

- We're not equal before the law. - That's true.

- Many would beg to differ. - That doesn't make it less true.

What are your thoughts?

- The women were just the beginning. - He wants to point out five problems.

Unequal before the law. There are four left. What are they?

The second body was a Danish prostitute.

She disappeared 13 months ago.

- You contacted the donor's father. - His dead son can save my husband.

- That wasn't a good idea. - Nothing's happening.

He's brain dead, can't you just pull the plug?

Your husband isn't our only patient. What if your son was lying there?

I don't have children. I don't want to lose Göran.

The medical examiner should finish today.

I'll check on Ferbé's car. What's your email address?

Hi, darling. I'm still in Malmö, but heading home soon.

This evening, I have to stop by the station. Ask August to help you.

It's after noon, just wake him up.

I promise to talk to him tonight.

Bye, darling. Saga sends her regards. Bye.

- My wife. Have you got a boyfriend? - No. What's your email address?

- August is my oldest. - Saga!

The server's in Copenhagen. Here's the address.

- That can't be right. - The IP address leads to the server.

The guy may not be there, but the server is.

That's Copenhagen Police Station.

- It's impossible. It can't be. - That's what I said.

He switched off the lights on the bridge.

I'll be darned. They're right, he's using us.

- How can he? - He might have hacked in.

Even if I knew how, you wouldn't understand.

- Can we trace him? - We can try.

He disconnected.

- Martin. - Saga Norén.

- Is he closed down? - He disconnected.

- Can you still trace him? - Can we trace him?

Maybe, but he won't still be using his computer.

- We might find the computer, but... - I heard her.

He wanted us to find it. Why?

He closed it down when we traced it. That defeats his object.

- He wants it out in the open. - It already is.

Everything's on the Internet. The source isn't necessary anymore.

Saga? A visitor says that he recorded the message on the Internet.

Turn around, face the wall.

- Why? - Face the wall, spread your legs.

I was shocked when I heard the message on the radio.

- I've recorded it. - How come?

I sometimes work for Ljudgrottan. I do radio commercials and dubbing.

- I'm with Malmö City Theatre. - You're an actor.

- Maybe you've seen me perform? - No.

- The recording? - Ljudgrottan called about a job.

The client wanted a Standard Swedish speaker.

Did you meet the client?

No, the script came in the mail. The tape was sent to a P.O. box.

We joked about it, it was like a spy film.

- Wasn't the work a bit odd? - No.

I thought it was for a performance or an art installation.

It sounded ominous. I didn't know that it would be used for this.

- Have you still got the script? - No.

Maybe the studio has, and the P.O. box number.

You could give them a call, but I would be very surprised.

It was recorded three and a half years ago.

You're not taking my son away. My son stays here!

My son stays here!

I haven't seen you here before.

It's important to look nice.

It's important to make a good impression.

Last year I had two new teeth put in. A beautiful smile opens up doors.

- Charlie walked along the street... - What did you say?

- Charlie walked along the street... - Charlie?

You have nice legs, if you don't mind me saying.

Nice to meet you. I have to go now.

Charlie walked along the street, he found...

Hi.

- Have you sold her anything? - No.

- Try a bit harder. - Maybe, but it's a long time ago.

- Who did she work for? - I don't know. I can't remember.

I'm tired, hungry, and my dick hurts. I have a very short fuse.

- I wish I could help you, mate. - My fuse is getting shorter.

Her name is Monique.

She disappeared a year ago, what's taken you so long?

- Did she say something back then? - No.

She's dead.

- Did she bring customers home? - No, that would have been stupid.

We found blood in her apartment.

- Did any customers threaten her? - Not as far as I know.

- Where did she work? - In Absalonsgade.

- Can I talk to someone there? - Pernille. I'll give her a call.

- How old are you? - Old enough. Do you want a blowjob?

- Thanks for your help. - I worry about them. Keep me posted.

I'll give you my full attention when this case is over.

- You're going to Berlin, but... - The police won't let me go.
