The Bridge (Bron/Broen)

SUMMARY

In my job you can't help but notice how unfair society is.

I heard from him again. It's immigrants this time.

- What are you doing here? - He slept over.

Saga's my colleague, you're my son.

- He's published something. - Why Henning, not the others?

- Has he got Henning? - He disappeared in the night.

- There was a letter by the door. - I won't get my brother back!

- Why were you with that Charlotte? - To interview her.

Have you slept with her?

Get up and pack your bags. Leave, I don't want to look at you.

I died in the night. I didn't see a tunnel or a light.

- We need a search warrant. - How did the blood get there?

Saga Norén, Malmö County Police. I'm going to find you.

- It's me. Stefan. - Charlie walked along the street...

- Who poisoned you, Sonja? - I saw him.

- The police car was stolen. - Maybe it wasn't stolen.

What if he's one of us? What if he's a police officer?

EPISODE 7

What the hell...

THE BRIDGE

Hi, this is Mette. Please leave a message.

Hi, it's me. I understand that you're hurt and angry.

You know we'll have to talk.

Can you please call me? I'll try to get home tonight.

Have a nice day... today. Bye.

If he's a police officer, it explains a lot.

He hasn't left a single trace.

- Hardened criminals avoid that. - They're only in it for the money.

- Why does he do it? - It's personal.

He selected people he wanted to die. This time it was Henning.

- But why a police officer? - He knew we were looking for Anja.

Only the police knew that she was in the parking garage.

He took a police car and no one noticed.

He's got riot gear. The stun gun was stolen from a police office.

The shots were fired by a professional.

He's very organized.

He can handle weapons and explosives.

- He's in the military. - A police task force.

We have to be very careful if we pursue that line of investigation.

We're looking for Danish officers, so we'll run the investigation.

- Why Danish officers? - Danish police car and riot gear.

- He speaks fluent Danish. - I'll single out the few it might be.

None of them would have shot their colleague.

Have you got an opposing theory, Martin?

So?

I'll send you what we've got. We'll talk later.

- How about some breakfast? - No thanks.

- Why not? - I haven't got time.

It seems to upset Martin that it might be a colleague.

- Or has something else happened? - He's annoyed with me.

- Why? - His son spent the night with me.

- Did he miss his train or something? - No, he likes me.

- How old is his son? -18. I don't see why he's upset.

- August can do as he wants. - That's irrelevant.

You can't have sex with your colleagues' children.

We didn't have sex. I said that he spent the night.

You should tell Martin. He probably thought what I did.

- That's not my problem. - Do it as a favour to me.

OK.

A school bus with five children has disappeared.

BODY FOUND IN SKIP

Sonja? Sonja?

Sonja! It's Stefan. Do you recognize me?

Charlie walked along the street, he found a parcel.

He thought it was tobacco, it was dynamite.

- Is this a long time ago? - It's the present, sister.

- She's awake. - Yes, she's awake.

- Don't leave me. - Listen. I'll never leave you again.

I'll never leave you again.

- Hi. I didn't think you'd come. - You were right.

It was wrong to expose the psychiatric patients.

- I'm sorry. - OK.

You're a good guy, Åke. I didn't appreciate you enough.

I have to go. A school bus has disappeared.

- Five children missing. It's big. - Congratulations.

- Hi. Åke said you were ill. - I feel better now.

He killed that police officer, Henning.

Any news about the fifth problem? Have you checked your e-mail?

- Are you going to? - I don't think so.

- It doesn't make a difference. - What?

All of this. Everything I write, everything he sends me.

In the end everything is meaningless.

- Nothing really matters. - What's happened, Daniel?

- What does he want? - I'll be damned if I know.

Lillian sent us these, they match the criteria.

He died this winter. He's dead as well.

It's been years. Why didn't they check?

We've received new data. I didn't sleep with your son, Martin.

August and I didn't have sex. You clearly wanted to know.

- Listen. - What is it?

Communication between a police helicopter and the stolen car.

HK4 to car 319. What's your status?

HK4, this is 319. Zebra, zulu. Zebra, zulu.

- Car 319, repeat. - Nothing to report.

Car 319, message received.

"Zebra, zulu" means "all well". ZZ is a snore.

It's used by officers in the US with task force training.

- Does that match any of the profiles? - They're all trained by the FBI.

Did he find "zebra, zulu" on the Internet?

- John? - No hits from the big search engines.

Do any Swedish officers match the profile?

- John? Any Swedes? - There are seven.

Saga Norén, Malmö County Police. Right, thank you. Bye.

Sonja Lindberg has come out of the coma. Martin?

There's a school bus and 15 officers to investigate.

- Sonja saw him. - We don't know why he's got the bus.

John? Can you get us pictures of the seven Swedes?

She doesn't answer. I've tried to reach Mette all day.

- Why do you keep calling? - She kicked me out.

- Why? - I cheated on her.

Didn't she know that you don't believe in monogamy?

What? What makes you think that?

- I do. - Then why do you sleep with others?

- Have you been in a relationship? - That depends on the definition.

I don't mean sex with guys twenty years younger.

- August and I didn't have sex. - Right. So what did you do all night?

- Talked, watched a film, ate, slept. - In the same bed?

Is it unthinkable to spend the night together and not have sex?

- I can see why you're cheating. - Give it a rest.

- OK. - Thank you.

It's all your fault. You waved my wallet in front of Mette.

Did you sleep with Charlotte Söringer?

What was it like?

It's Mette Rohde. I'll be right down. Thank you.

- Hi. Is Sebastian Sandstrod here? - Yes, over there.

- Hi, I'm Mette Rohde. - Sebastian Sandstrod.

- What's this all about? - I want to show you my software.

I don't purchase IT systems.

- But you use them. - Yes, the ones the company buys.

They only think of the company. I think of what's good for you.

Lots of salesmen try to revolutionize my life.

I'll be the first to succeed.

- How? - The long or the short version?

- The really short one. - A better overview of the profits.

Less coordination, so less overtime. More time with the family.

- Too long? - No, but is it true?

The short version is that it is.

You have my full attention for five minutes.

- That's not much. - You have to earn more time.

This way.

Is it my fault that Mette's angry?

You could have given me the wallet at work.

So the problem isn't that you cheat, it's that Mette found out.

No. The problem is I want her back.

Do you get that? I love her.

- You should have thought about... - ...that. I'm fully aware of that.

- What are you doing here? - I've got some questions, Sonja.

- She just woke up. Can't this wait? - No. I'm Saga Norén.

Look at these pictures. Did you see who left the bottles of wine?

You said that you recognized him.

- Sonja? How are you? - Fine.

- That's good. - Yes.

- Look at them. - Yes.

Concentrate, look at every picture.

- Focus, Sonja. - She only just woke up.

- Do you want to tell me something? - No.

- Are you OK, Sonja? - Sonja, Sonja...

It's OK, Sonja.

We're not all equal before the law.

That's a problem.

Not just for the police. People should take it seriously.

- "Equal before the law." - "People should take it seriously."

Jesper Andersson, born 1969, bilingual.

Danish mother. He lived there until he was 12.

He graduated in 1995 and was given training with the FBI 1998-2000.

He was in the national task force. Two colleagues were killed in 2003.

He went on sick leave and got divorced in 2005.

Then he became a regional coordinator against organized crime.

He's good at youth work and well-liked.

We need a connection to the victims.

No one but the investigation team should know about the surveillance.

- Should we talk to him? He's here. - Do it.

Ask Pilkvist to give me a call.

- Is Jesper Andersson here? - No.

- Do you know where he is? - No.

OK. We just wanted to talk to him.

Do you want to leave your name? Hello?

- He's Swedish. You said Danish. - Things indicated that he was Danish.

- But Jesper Andersson is Swedish. - Yes.

- What are you getting at? - Nothing.

- He wasn't there. - He isn't at home either.

- Gry is searching his home. - I'll go, she might miss something.

If it's him, he's busy. I'll show you in John's office. Come here.

Millions of children around the world are exploited.

If a product is very cheap, someone has been made to pay.

We don't care, they're not our children. But these are.

Each child represents a line of business.

There are companies in our region that contribute to child labour.

I want their premises torched before the time is up.

One fire saves one child. All can survive, it's up to you.

A list of the companies will soon be made public.

Bloody hell.

The companies.

They're not just any companies. Should we assume it's true?

- Are they involved in child labour? - He hasn't been wrong yet.

If we print it, there'll be consequences.

Five fires. Insurance companies will make less of a profit.

- Five children will survive. - It's not that easy.

I thought it was. Does it matter that they're important advertisers?
