The Bridge (Bron/Broen)

It's me. It's been a while, Martin.

You're doing well, I hear.

You let August go, Jens. You're not going to hurt my son.

-Punish me. -I believe that's what I'm doing.

Stay seated.

Why? I need to know why.

Was it because she chose me?

You killed all those people because your wife left you?

It wasn't just my wife. I lost my son, my job, my friends.

Is that enough for you?

Where is he? Where is August?

He is no more.

You'll never know if he suffered.

If he was afraid. If he cried.

If it was a long, painful death.

You'll never have a body to bury or a grave to visit.

-Shut up. -You'll never know what happened.

You shut up! Shut up!

Martin! I found him. I found August.

-No, you haven't. -We found him.

In the garage on Engmosevej.

-August is alive? -Yes.

Can you honestly tell me that August is alive, Saga?

Is August really alive?

Saga!

EPISODE 1

It's leaving the fairway.

-Which one? -That one.

I communicated with them earlier.

Try channel 16.

Sending out DSC.

What the hell.

-What's the cargo? -I don't know.

No. They need to close the bridge.

No! She's heading right for the bridge.

-Saga Norén, Malmö County Police. -Kaj Linddahl, Coast Guard.

Hey!

Hey.

Hey! Hey.

Can you hear me? Do you understand me? Do you speak Swedish?

I'm Saga Norén from Malmö County Police. What's happened here?

Hey!

-Were you able to ID them? -They had nothing on them.

-You did great. -I could always do better.

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

-You've got that math test today? -Yes.

Why are you sailing in the morning when you're so busy?

I don't have any classes this morning.

-As long as you can cope. -I can cope.

-Or am I missing something? -No.

Right, that's what I thought.

He's not British, he pronounced "Åbo" like a Dane.

Where were they when you communicated?

Up here. Southwards. She was coming in from Halmstad.

So they abandoned ship at some point after?

Probably in a smaller vessel. They don't register on our screen.

So you really can't help us at all?

Thank you.

-Saga? What's the story with the boat? -Ship. It was a ship.

Maritime law defines ships as 40-by-13-foot vessels and above.

-What'd you find on the ship? -Five people chained below deck.

How did the crew explain that?

There was no crew. The ship was abandoned.

John, get me a list of missing people, ages 17-25.

-How far back? -Three months.

-Make it chronological, with pictures. -Done.

Beate! Can't you pair me up with someone else for our group project?

-Why? -Because Christian is no good.

We will get a 12, but I'll have done all the work.

-I'm sure Christian will help. -With what?

Pair me up with someone who's on my level.

-No. -Why not?

I'm actually capable of evaluating your individual contributions.

-He can learn from you. -Making sure he learns is your job.

What's hard? Get the overtime from last quarter...

-I know who were on that ship... -I'm in the middle of something.

-We'll do this later. -I know who were on that ship.

Victor Bergström. Likely disappeared in Helsingør with two friends

his Danish girlfriend and her friend.

One friend, Fredrik Lundblad, was reported missing Saturday.

Svante Källén could not be located for questioning in Lundblad's disappearance.

No one's seen them since Friday.

The Danish girlfriend and her friend were on the ship?

-A lot would point to that. -Great. I'll inform the next of kin.

I'll go to Copenhagen for more info on the girls.

-Why? -To prepare before I question them.

Shouldn't you let it go? Five kids went missing. Now they're found.

Kidnapped, more likely, and chained to a ship set to run aground.

They're not just "found."

-I'm here for Martin Rohde. -That's his boss, right there.

-Saga! It's been a long time. -Yes, it's been 13 months.

-It's good to see you again. -I was here for Martin.

Right, so I heard. Follow me.

-When did you two last see each other? -At August's funeral.

-You haven't seen each other since? -No.

What is it about?

A ship ran aground with five people in chains.

Two were possibly Danish, possibly reported missing.

-Missing people isn't Martin's desk. -They were likely kidnapped.

They've not been questioned yet. I'd like to see any files.

-I can get someone else to help you. -Why not Martin?

-He's assigned to other duties. -What duties?

He's on the group coordinating police efforts for the EU summit.

-Don't they work out of here? -Yes, but...

Saga, it's been a long road for Martin to get to this point. It's taken time.

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

I've gone over the reports of our last case.

There were alternate courses of actions. The outcome would've been the same.

No one blames you. Neither does Martin.

Then why can't I see him?

That's his office. That door, right there.

-Goddamn it, it's been ages! -Yes. One year and one month.

Right... You want to step outside?

It's great seeing you! What brings you here?

A kidnapping. Two Danish females should be reported missing.

Got their names? Sure, we'll help you with that. Come on.

-It's great seeing you! -Right, you said so.

Right... This way.

Maria Holst and Vibecce Nielsen.

-I could have emailed them. -Emailed what?

This information.

Yes, but I wanted to come here.

-To see me? -Yes.

Why didn't you come sooner?

I didn't have a case that involved Denmark.

A bouncer at Mainstreet saw them leave at 03.45.

-Do you know the place? -Mainstreet?

-In Helsingør? -No.

They left along with four men...

Only three men were reported missing and found chained on that ship.

Saga Norén, Malmö County Police.

When? Good. Thanks.

Maria Holst has died. This is now a homicide investigation.

-How'd it go with Saga? -I thought it went OK.

She's waiting in the car.

-For you? -Yes.

She wants me to go with her to Helsingør.

-Is that OK? -I don't know. Is it?

I think it's a good idea, Martin.

OK.

-So how are things? -Good.

-You working a lot? -Yes.

-You're completely yourself. -Yes.

You've gone gray.

No, Saga, I've gone silver.

We haven't seen each other in a year.

Don't you have anything to tell me? Anything to catch me up on?

I don't live with Mette anymore.

-So you're divorced? -No, separated.

-Did you cheat on her again? -No.

I'm just no good to Mette and the kids anymore.

But we had twins, did you know? Sanne and Simon.

Oh?

I'm living with a guy named Jakob Sandberg.

-The guy with the flowers? -No, that was Anton.

Where and when did you meet?

In a bar, a little over seven months ago.

-And now you're living together? -Yes.

-Full time? -Yes. Since last Wednesday.

-And how's that going? -Good.

Great. Now I know...

Christian Fischer? Martin Rohde, Copenhagen Police.

This is Saga Norén from Malmö. We'd like to talk about Vibecce Nielsen.

According to your statement, you saw her leave this establishment at 3.45 a.m.

You stated she and a friend left here with four men.

Are these three of them?

No idea. You know how crowded this place gets?

The sign by the door says maximum capacity allowed is 950.

Exactly. And this place is usually packed on weekends, so...

-But her you recall? -Yes, what was her name? Vibecce?

She and I happened to be out for a smoke.

We talked a little. I think she was into me.

-Because she talked to you? -Because of the way she talked to me.

-But you don't recall any of the guys? -Sorry, I don't pay attention to guys.

-Any camera surveillance of the door? -No.

-What about inside? -There are no cameras anywhere.

There's a cam right there.

-Another one there. -Police cameras.

I'll have Barbara check it out.

No, I'll put John on it. It's important.

OK.

Hey. Check this out.

What are you gonna show me now?

-Let me see. -What's this?

-I put it on YouTube. -You tagged a wall? You'll get 5 hits.

-You couldn't do it. -Of course I can.

-Give it back. -Let me check out your apps.

-You guys watched Barcelona last night? -Messi was awesome.

Right, you don't have any TV channels.

-Let's go. -Wait, I'll get my jacket.

Hey, wait up!

Hey! What did you take off for?

-Couldn't you wait? My cell phone. -What about it?

-You took it. -No, I didn't.

-Come on... -You left it on the bench.

-Cut it out. -It's true. Maybe someone grabbed it.

What's up?

Do you ever think about what happened here last year?

No, not anymore. But you do?

Yes. You can just shut that out?
