Advokaten -Second Season

- Does Frank know you asked to see me? - No.

He wouldn't have let you come.

As a devil's advocate, he wants to take care of meetings himself.

I was the one who warned them that you were on your way to Rex's.

If I had been able to talk to Rex,

I would have known who was behind Therese's murder.

Frank thinks it's the same person who ordered me to kill your parents.

Do you realise what you've done?

If you have to kill me, go ahead. But leave Liam alone.

I would never, ever harm a child, and neither would Markos.

You're a cop and you betrayed us. I'm not surprised.

But you owe me a favour.

What?

I'll have to think about it.

- You mustn't tell Frank about this. - I don't care about Frank.

And you have a debt to pay. Later.

THE LAWYER

Rex Bagger's trial begins today, after years of witness protection.

He stands accused of murdering detective Mogens Mikkelsen.

Also today, Justice Klaus Nygaard is being heard regarding suspicions

that the murder could be related to organised crime

rather than a burglary that went wrong.

- What do you want? - You already knew, right?

They wouldn't let me represent the plaintiff against Rex Bagger.

- Have you been an assessor before? - Yes, I have.

But now the court won't authorise me. Who's trying to stop me, Magdalena?

I don't know. It seems strange.

And it's not me, if that's what you think.

- Authorised or not, I'll be there. - Frank, wait.

I have no time. I represent the family and they expect me to...

I looked at the investigation into Therese Waldman's death.

It should never have been closed on those grounds.

What do you know about Sixten Larsen's death?

Nothing.

Whatever's going on, perhaps I can help you.

I'll make sure you get authorised, but I'll expect something in return.

It's insane that I agree to this.

If he won't name his instigator, I want no more conspiracy theories.

- Okay, but I think... - Everyone knows your background.

I won't be ridiculed for associating with conspiracy theorists.

Miranda. Frank Nordling, assistant attorney for the Mikkelsen family.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Miranda is Rex's lawyer. - Shall we go in?

You've been linked to the crime scene.

Your DNA was both on the balaclava and the weapon found nearby.

We're aware of this, hence the accusation against my client.

The defence believes that the DNA evidence should be dismissed.

The items may have been contaminated,

they've been in police possession for 20 years.

In 1997, it was concluded that the perpetrator fired a warning shot,

which ricocheted off a wall and accidentally hit Mikkelsen's head.

New forensic evidence suggests otherwise.

We received this yesterday.

The current, forensic analysis of the bullet found in Mikkelsen's body.

The bullet is intact. Had it ricocheted, there'd be visible marks.

So, Rex, we claim that you waited for him,

aimed your weapon at his head and pulled the trigger. An execution.

If you're convicted of murder, which is probable, due to this evidence,

I could ask for a life sentence. Or I could ask for a commuted sentence,

and you'll be out in six to eight years.

And under what circumstances could the latter be applicable?

You can be a crown witness.

Help us, and we'll help you by reducing your sentence.

The Western Network had an agreement with the Danish police, didn't they?

Someone fabricated the ricochet story and included it in the investigation.

We want to know if the shooting order came from someone within the police.

I don't know what you're talking about.

- What do you want? - Hi, it's Liam. Are you angry?

Hi, buddy. You're using Mum's phone?

Yes, she's playing football with Ebbe.

And Dad left for Boston yesterday. And next week I'll start school here.

- That's great. Can I talk to Mum? - I told you, she's playing football.

- Ebbe got his own bathroom drawer. - Give me the phone.

How did it go with Rex Bagger?

To make him talk, we need to get him convicted of murder. That's hard.

I'll see if I can find something that could put pressure on him.

Sara, how could you send Said back to Boston without bringing Liam?

You just blew Waldman's chances of getting Rex Bagger to talk.

Don't you understand that he'll make sure you pay for that?

Stay away from the investigation. Okay? Just stay away.

- Did you get lobster? - Yes.

- I love lobster. - Yes, I can tell.

You mustn't tell Kristian that you were here.

- I promise you I won't. - Good.

I'm sorry for not showing up at the cinema.

- The cinema? - Yes.

Kristian took my phone, so I couldn't call you. Sorry.

What cinema?

The one you texted me to meet you at last week.

I never texted you.

Yes, you did.

What...?

What have you gotten yourself into, Nora?

ANONYMOUS SENDER LOOK AT THIS

Klaus? It's Magdalena. Can we meet?

- Good evening. - Good evening. Nice to see you.

You too.

- I ordered the evening menu for us. - Delicious!

I hope so.

Oh, thanks.

- How nice. Great to see you. - You too.

I'd like to celebrate your award and also thank you.

- For what? - For being my mentor all these years.

- It means so much to me. - I'm very touched, Magdalena.

Thanks.

- I mean it. Thank you so much. - Thank you.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

And you have an ulterior motive.

Let's just discuss it at once, so that we can enjoy dinner afterwards.

I talked to Oliver Rosenberg, prosecutor in the Rex Bagger trial.

He believes in a connection between Bagger and what you told me recently

about police corruption in the nineties.

If you talked to Rosenberg, you'll know that I'm testifying against Rex.

Yes, as Mikkelsen's boss at the time,

you'll testify about the course of events on the day he was shot.

What do you want to know?

Thanks.

Thank you.

Shall I prepare the authorities for a scandal?

Was the murder planned by policemen together with the Western Network?

I'd just like to know what you thought then and what you think now.

Were there signs that Mikkelsen was trying to expose the corruption?

Had I suspected that, I would of course have reacted.

- But you did look into it? - Yes, but I found no proof.

But you still suspect there was corruption then?

- What are you accusing me of? - Nothing.

That I was aware of a wilful murder but neglected to investigate it?

Or something even worse?

- Klaus? - I have to say no to this dinner.

My god, Magdalena. After all these years.

Klaus, I'm sorry, can you...?

Thomas?

What are you doing?

You can't sit out here, Thomas.

Come on, let's go down again.

TÅRNBY VIDEO SHOP

Thomas?

We have visitors.

Thomas, they're outside.

Come on!

- Stop! Show us your hands! - What are you doing here?

Show us your hands!

You understand. Show us your hand or we'll shoot. Slowly...

I'm looking after my friend's house.

Get down on your knees. Hands on your head.

Are you alone? Is there someone else in the house?

Klaus Nygaard, please describe the course of events

on the day Mogens Mikkelsen was shot.

We received a call about a robbery. Mogens arrived first on the scene.

When the other units arrived soon after,

Mogens was found dead and the perpetrators had disappeared.

Thank you. No further questions.

- Very well. - Thank you.

I have a few questions, your honour.

Go ahead.

For how long did you act as Mogens Mikkelsen's boss?

We worked together for four years.

- Was he a good police officer? - Absolutely.

He was a great analytical talent and empathetic.

- Meticulous? - Very much so. He lived by the rules.

Then could you explain to me why he, on this particular day,

responded completely single-handedly to this robbery?

The 1997 preliminary report states it was an unfortunate coincidence.

"An unfortunate coincidence"? Could you explain that, please?

Mogens and his colleagues initially responded to

an emergency call that came from an address nearby.

- It turned out to be a false alarm? - Yes.
