The Bridge (Bron/Broen)

SUMMARY

The lights on the bridge went out.

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

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

- Is he a psychopath? - He's willing to make sacrifices.

- Are you sure it's the same man? - Yes. Two dismembered women.

- Nine dead homeless people. - Ten now.

Daniel Ferbé has joined us.

He's been in contact with the perpetrator or perpetrators.

- Which is it? - I've been in touch with one person.

He's done more for the homeless than the politicians.

- Stefan! Stefan was there. - Stefan? Do you know him?

Do you know who brought the bottles? Who poisoned you?

You can't stay, Anja. We haven't got space.

I'm just about to have some tea. You can have some.

What are you doing?

- Has he been in touch? - He wants 20 million to stop it.

- After another litre the heart stops. - OK, so five or six hours.

- Let's contact the four men again. - Did he do that with his eyes before?

Wasn't he in the merchant navy? It's Morse code.

EPISODE 4

THE BRIDGE

- Did you sleep well? - Yes, pretty well.

- And you? - I keep having dreams.

- About dad? - About anything.

Was he happy?

Yes. Why do you ask?

We had a wonderful relationship.

I want to see him.

- Is that a good idea? - I don't know, but I want to.

Will you come with me?

It's the police. They want to talk to you.

- Charlotte Söringer is on her way. - And the Danish?

- They're coming, albeit reluctantly. - Let me know when they're here.

- How are things going? - This is Kjell-Åke Jönsson.

He used to be a telegraph operator.

So far he's found: "Recognize the eyes."

- And then "near". - Does he know him?

- From the merchant navy? - T.T. doesn't know Morse code.

- T.T.? - They call him The Truth Terrorist.

Here's something new.

Men... Men's...

...home...is...

- ...te... - Istedgade.

The Men's Home on Istedgade. I'll go there.

August? Dammit, August!

I'm warming milk. Keep an eye on it.

- What's going on, brats? - We're not brats.

Yes, you are.

- What's wrong with mum? - It must be something she ate.

- What? - I don't know. A car?

She did it yesterday as well. She was sick.

Four police officers are charged.

There is no proof of police brutality.

It's uncertain who did what, when Hadi Hurani was injured.

Experts believe...

I don't care what they say on the radio.

Nice coffee.

- What are you doing? - Did I wake you?

No. Do you know what time it is?

- Why are you here? - What?

- What are you doing here? - I came yesterday. I stayed over.

Don't you remember?

I had a row with my mum. It was raining.

You let me stay here.

Have you got some bread or something?

A samurai fasts the day before he goes into battle.

I have an important assignment tomorrow.

- But... can I have something to eat? - Sure.

Bread is in the other cupboard.

- Why are you so grumpy? - I'm scared of my wife.

Does anyone want this?

A former sailor, a nasty man. We banned him five years ago.

- Why? - He was aggressive and unstable.

He nearly killed a man that changed the TV channel.

- So he fell out with everyone. - Yes.

- Do you know where he went? - I don't know.

I need a list of staff while he was here.

Do you realize how many there were? What do you need it for?

Bjørn met his abductor here.

Lindberg! Stefan Lindberg.

- This is quite a coincidence. - I work here.

- I'm the Swedish contact person. - Maybe you know Bjørn, then.

- Who? - The guy that's bleeding to death.

No.

Were you here five years ago when he was banned?

I never met him, so I probably wasn't.

- How's your sister? - Still unconscious.

- When will you be back in Malmö? - This afternoon.

Stop by the police station. I want to ask you some questions.

- About what? - We'll talk about it then.

Thank you for coming on such short notice.

We weren't given much of a choice.

- Why are we here? - Agree to his demand.

- Why? - He doesn't like to improvise.

If we force him to, he might make mistakes.

- Does he assume we won't pay? - Of course.

You stockpile your money and take no social responsibility.

We need to discuss our next step.

- If you give in, he'll take action. - It might save Bjørn Rasmusen.

- And then what? - I don't know.

Now we know what you think. Can we discuss the matter in private?

- Could you excuse us? - Of course.

There's nothing to discuss.

Is there? Do you want to give a madman 20 million?

We could agree to it, but then stop the payment.

- I don't think we should pay. - "They can afford to save Bjørn."

9454 group members so far.

And then there's that.

Charlotte is right.

Bjørn knows the abductor.

All of these people were there when he was.

- Is it personal? - I don't know.

- Is he in Denmark? - I don't know. I don't know anything.

We need a happy ending. Tomorrow won't be easy.

- I heard they might be acquitted. - The press is drawing comparisons.

Four immigrants were sentenced, but only one or two were guilty.

- Is this the same thing? - Yes. Yes.

- But they're police officers. - Yes, exactly.

- I'm going back to Malmö. - Martin? A happy ending.

- Hi, Henning. - Hi, Martin.

- How are you? - Fine.

- The trial must be stressful. - Yes.

- We'll be acquitted. - So I hear. Can I have a cigarette?

- Why are you protecting them? - I'm not. He fell.

- His arm broke and an eye ruptured. - He had an awkward fall.

How do you rupture your eyeball in an awkward fall?

- He's dead. Don't walk away! - Let go of me.

Or what? Or I'll have an awkward fall?

You're going through hell. Why are you going down with them?

Hey, hey... Hi, Henning.

- What were you talking about? - Nothing.

One day. Right?

Keep your mouth shut one day more.

- Do you get it? - Yes.

We'll get through this.

The property investors haven't confirmed...

that they'll agree to the demands.

There's no time to lose. Medical experts say-

- that Bjørn Rasmusen will lose consciousness within the next hour.

His life will be at stake as a second hour passes.

Thank you, Karin.

Journalist Daniel Ferbé is with us.

He's in contact with the killer.

- How's it going? - We don't know where Bjørn is.

I didn't find any clues, but I met Stefan Lindberg in Copenhagen.

- What was he doing there? - Working. I told him to stop by.

- Why? - He keeps popping up.

- They won't pay. - Didn't they hear what we said?

- Are they still there? - You can't have your way this time.

He's saying something.

He's saying: A...1...

And then three letters: A, J, B.

- He repeats it: A1. - It's some sort of code.

- No, he must be looking at something. - He can see the camera.

Maybe.

Gry and Navid, search for A1AJB everywhere.

Product numbers, the land registry... Everything!

Ask Copenhagen to do the same.

- He might change the number. - He won't. He's unconscious.

THEY'RE KILLING BJØRN

- Can you see well enough? - It's a bit more complicated.

- To negotiate with terrorists... - Write an editorial.

- I mean... - Have you seen the competition?

- It's all about emotions. - That's what he wants.

How do you know what he wants? Are you his contact?

- You're just jealous. - For once I'm not, actually.

The four property investors have made a decision.

They won't pay the 20 million.

- Do you regret this? - Not yet.

- We can go back home. - No, I want to see him.

- Are you OK? - Yes.

- Who are you? -I'm sorry. I'll leave.

Who are you? Why are you here?

My name's Emilie Hanson. I was a close friend of Göran.

Well... I'm sorry, I shouldn't be here. I'll leave.

Em? You're Em.

You were together.

I'm sorry for your loss, Maja.

I didn't know that she was here.

- Think out loud. - He hasn't made a single mistake.

He didn't expect that Bjørn would be able to communicate.

He's in an abandoned factory.

What's in an abandoned factory?

Machinery.

- He would have told us what kind. - Pipes, doors.

Doors with serial numbers. A barrel of chemicals.

Behind the camera. It's filming continuously. Filming...

Bjørn can see a power meter.

He isn't giving us the last two digits.

There's a letter, a digit, three letters, and two digits.

The last two digits must be hidden from view.

- Are there 99 possible places? - 100, there's 00 as well.

- We've found it. - It's a fuseboard.

- Some aren't used, there are 89 left. - That's 88 too many, he's dying.

37 are in apartment buildings and 30 in houses.

- That leaves 22. - Martin, Saga.

I'll pay. I'll pay the entire sum.

- Why? On your own? - Yes.

If he demands that the others pay, we can pretend they did.
