The Bridge (Bron/Broen)

Has someone really stoned her?

The murder of Danish Immigration Board director Margrethe Thormod...

Go and talk to her husband Niels.

No, they have nothing. Stick to the plan.

- Red October? - Active both here and in Sweden.

No films with them in it, no spokespeople, no manifestos.

The Iranian homo, where is he?

I didn't kill her. She got into a black car.

The call Margrethe received, came from this phone.

I was given it today by two girls.

We have eleven reports of pickpocketing following the same MO:

A girl pretends to fall ill, the people helping her get robbed.

If they stole it, we must find them.

Violence against women, Dan. Margrethe Thormod was a woman.

And you're the last person to see her alive.

- My daughter's terrified of clowns. - Oh, I'm sorry. I had no idea.

- Would she like a balloon animal? - No, she wouldn't.

Go! Get out of here!

- Patrik Dahlqvist. - Twin brother of Richard Dahlqvist.

- Richard had contact with Red October. - The killer got the wrong man.

- Where's Richard now? - Where the hell is he?

- What's wrong? - I don't know.

- Hello. - Hello. Do you have a passport? ID?

Thanks.

Thanks. Have a nice day.

What the hell! What are they playing at?

Fuck!

Get out!

To the front!

Down, down, down!

Look down!

Look down!

- Have you been in therapy before? - No.

- What made you come here? - I'm not well.

And why do you think that is?

Some sort of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Could you tell me a bit about your background?

From when? My first memories are from when I was four. Is that relevant?

I was thinking more about the background of the events that led you here.

My mum had Munchausen by proxy. She almost killed my little sister.

I made sure my parents went to prison.

I took care of Jennifer. She killed herself at 14.

My boss and friend Hans Pettersson was murdered by Emil Larsson.

He used a paperclip I had brought to his cell to cut his wrists.

I don't know if I left it there by accident or deliberately.

Why would you do so deliberately?

Before when he'd tried to hang himself I wasn't sure if I wanted to save him.

I think I wanted him to die.

I reported my colleague and friend Martin Rohde

for having poisoned his son's murderer. He got ten years in prison.

Then my mum returned. She killed herself but made it look like I killed her.

I was in prison for just over a year and was released a few days ago.

After having been stabbed in the neck with a broken table tennis bat.

I see...

We've got a bit to work with.

Good.

- How could Richard just disappear? - They must have left by a back door.

- There's nothing on the lobby CCTV. - Where were the guards?

The Swedes were in charge. There was a misunderstanding. On the Swedes' part.

- I found him. - How?

It wasn't hard. He's streaming live.

I'm speaking here because Red October have contacted me.

They told me they've nothing to do with the murders

of Margrethe Thormod or my brother Patrik.

He meets them and then goes straight to the media!

And I believe them when they say they're not involved.

They didn't kill my brother, so I urge the police to not get stuck in one track

but to look elsewhere, so that my brother's killers don't get away with it.

- Where's Saga? - In Malmö. She was meeting someone.

Go get her, and have a word with that idiot.

- What are you doing here? - I'm waiting for you. How did it go?

We have a lot to work with, she said. So it went well.

- And you can keep working? - Yeah, why shouldn't I?

Because yesterday...

That kind of reaction could well be a one-off. I've taken steps.

You're to come with me. I have to show you something.

I urge the police to not get stuck in one track but to look elsewhere...

- He met them? - Yeah.

- Why would they want to meet him? - For credibility? A well-known journalist.

Why take the risk? They've already posted a video where they say the same.

But we continued to investigate them.

Richard Dahlqvist?

- How did they contact you? - They texted me again.

- We've got your phone. - I have another one.

- Where is it now? - They took it. When we met.

Okay. What happened next?

I went behind the hotel blindfolded and they came to get me in a car.

- So you never saw them? - No.

That street is one-way and leads to a T-junction. Did you turn left or right?

- Right, I think. - Good. There are cameras there.

What happened then? Hello?

We drove around and they told me what to say, then they dropped me off.

- Where? - I'm not sure.

- Didn't you remove the blindfold? - Of course.

- In central Malmö? - A bit outside. I don't know where.

Because you don't know where there are cameras.

None of this has happened.

Everything you've done since we met has been to exonerate Red October.

The video, the press release, what you've told us. Everything.

- You are Red October. - Yes.

You were totally on the wrong track.

And you had to find the person who killed Patrik.

- Hi. - Hi. So he made it all up?

He began researching left-wing groups some years ago.

His career didn't take off, so he invented Red October.

That takes idiocy to a whole new level.

You should switch places. You sat there yesterday.

- Yes. - What are the rules?

Is it 24 hours in each place? What are the rules?

There are no rules. That's the good thing about it. Flexibility.

So he was behind the fires and hacking attacks too?

Yeah. We've passed him on to the Swedish Security Service.

He's got nothing to do with the murders of Thormod and Dahlqvist.

No. Now we have to pin our hopes on the girls.

That took a while.

I don't think the Swedes have any idea how much surveillance they have.

But I've found a place with no cameras.

If you turn the corner by that shop and keep going 50 metres

you get to a small square that's really crowded.

Okay.

- See you soon. - See you.

No!

She's breathing...

- Are you with her? - She's my little sister.

Is there anyone to call? Your parents?

Their numbers are on my phone, but I don't have it with me.

We're meeting our parents at the station, so we can go there instead.

We need to examine your sister first. You'll have to wait here.

Can't I come in? She doesn't like being alone.

You'll have to wait here. I'll show you to the waiting room.

Hey, handsome!

What's up?

That black car Taariq saw pick up Margrethe Thormod...

There are no cameras outside the gay bar. But look...

I got everything from the streets two blocks from there at that time.

- There's a lot of black cars. - How many?

Sixteen. And you can get to and from the gay bar unnoticed.

But I'm thinking... You have a witness.

- Do you have it on file? - It's already on your computer.

What? Just let me know if you need any help.

No, no, I'm good.

I told you I know nothing about cars.

Even so, you could still recognise it.

Do you recognise any?

No.

Are you sure?

Why should I help you?

Because Margrethe wanted to help you. And then she was killed.

Yeah. She tried to help me.

- Are you going to help me? - I can't help with your deportation.

Do you think it's right that I'm being sent back?

No.

But those who can do something about it don't give a shit what I think.

So, can you recognise any?

I know nothing about cars.

Without Red October there's no link between Richard and Margrethe.

And Patrik and Margrethe? He's the one who got killed.

We were so sure the wrong guy got killed so we never checked. I'll do it.

He'll say nothing about the car as long as he's being threatened with deportation.

- Lillian wants you. - Why?

If she'd told me, I'd tell you.

Niels Thormod? Saga Norén, Malmö CID. I'd like to talk about a Patrik Dahlqvist.

I don't know who that is.

No.

I'm sure she didn't know a clown. Or any hospital clown.

Yeah.

But I've never heard of Patrik Dahlqvist. I don't know who that is.

I'm absolutely sure.

Thanks.

You can come with me.

She's fine but needs to take it easy. She's in here, on the right.

- Get up. We have to go. - Now?

Yes. Hurry. Do you remember your name?

- Christine. - Good. Come on.

You need to come with us. You're wanted in Denmark.

As you know, we've got newcomers here. Sofie and Christoffer Björk.

Stand up, so everyone can see you.

We'll all do our best to help you settle in here.

Any other matters to raise? Yes?

I've got a bit of bad news. I've been burgled.

My laptop and camera are gone. It must have happened yesterday.

Like most of you, we never lock our doors. It hasn't been necessary.

Until now, apparently.

Very well. Has anyone seen any strangers in the village?

Any car that's not from around here?

Frank, check the gate to see who's come and gone.

I think we should start with a neighbourhood watch.

Maybe do an extra round at night.

No, we won't.

- Aren't we going to do anything? - You're going to sit down and be quiet.

We won't do any extra rounds at night. That's what scared people do.

And scared people are dangerous people who divide the community.

And community is everything.

Remember to drink plenty of water.

I have to go to work for a while. Aunt Sarah will stay with you.

- When will you be back? - As soon as I can.

- Hi! There you are. - Great.

Hello, darling.

- Have a good time. - Sure.

- Love you. - Love you too, Dad.
