The treachery started in Denmark.
The police led your brother into a trap.
Now you're the eldest.
Yes.
This is a loss of blood. We must take it back.
That policeman...
his name is Eagle.
Yes.
A high-ranking policeman.
200.000 euros...
to the person who avenges my dead brother.
How do we know it was the brother?
From Hauge in Norway. They'd tapped Agim's people.
- Why didn't he warn Hallgrimsson? - He did.
Hallgrim dismissed it.
- Any news of the hit man? - No.
He's described as white. English-speaking and a professional.
We'll get him. Europol has joined in.
We'll trace him across Europe.
We'll destroy the organisation.
Oh. Thea...
Yes.
Today of all days.
You were very fond of him.
There's still hope. He's strong.
Oh. no. l'm going to cry.
l have to get back to the office.
lb and l will take care of the lunch.
Are you in pain?
ls it bad?
lf you come with me the pain will stop.
Please leave.
l want to be alone.
Of course.
l'll come back a bit later.
THE EAGLE a crime odyssey
lt pierced the pericardium.
The blood's entering between the heart and the pericardium.
Are you okay?
We've inserted a drain to get rid of all that blood.
- We'll wait and see. - See what?
We're treating him conservatively.
l don't understand a word.
We don't want to open him up.
Meaning?
Let's wait.
Do you know what saved his life?
This was in his pocket.
lt deflected the knife.
Otherwise it would have pierced his heart.
Take them away! He's not dead yet.
- Sorry. l just wanted to... - Can't you see the cordon?
- Out! Out! - Jens!
- Out! - Jens. relax.
- My colleague's upset. - l'm not!
We'll make sure to take them to the hospital. l'm sorry.
l got drunk after Hallgrim was taken to hospital.
l feel weird.
The hit man came in and sat down there.
Yes.
- How long was he there? - Maybe half an hour.
Did you get a good look at him?
No. not really.
You see. l...
l was preoccupied.
How so?
lt's a bit...
A German salesman at the hotel was at a meeting and his wife...
She was a bit bored. right?
So. you know...
l was waiting for the coast to clear.
You talked to the perpetrator?
Yes.
He came in.
He wanted to talk to Hallgrim.
Okay. You spoke Danish?
No. English. l asked who he was.
And he said...
he had a message from someone called Tomas.
Okay.
- What then? - We waited.
l was waiting for...
the coast to clear and he for Hallgrim.
Then?
l saw Hallgrim park his car and...
l said ""That's Hallgrim.""
With my tongue hanging out. l was on my way up to the lady.
l feel really bad about it.
l've been crying all morning.
l pointed to Hallgrim like some Judas. ""That's him!""
- ""Go and get him."" - Eddie...
Let's go over it again. Nice and easy.
How tall was he?
- l don't remember. - You do. Taller or shorter than me?
- He was a bit taller. - Okay.
No. l think he was slightly shorter. Just a bit.
l think... l don't know.
Well. Arne. What does the Drug Squad say?
Our case against one of the big shots is down the drain now.
- But we're not accepting this. - No.
- Any news on the Eagle? - He's still critical.
Have you been to see him?
- He was asleep. - Okay.
Like he was when l warned him.
What?
He was asleep.
l woke him and he didn't realise how serious it was.
- Know why he's called the Eagle? - ls it his middle name?
lt's because he knows best.
He hovers above it all.
An eagle-eyed perspective?
He didn't find it necessary...
to keep us informed... about the threat to his life.
Okay.
You look tired.
lnterviews since yesterday.
All the hotel guests and staff.
everyone in the street and the next one up. but...
he may have caught a ferry or the metro...
All the sirens and lights kept me awake.
Did they call in half the country?
We had to show our presence.
Welcome and thanks for coming at such short notice on a Sunday.
On my right l've got Hauge from Oslo.
- How many do you know? - Not many.
There's Stræde from lntelligence.
Arne from the Drugs Squad. Jesper from the Police.
Sørensen from the Traffic Unit.
Ole from lmmigration. Heinesen from Customs.
And Johannes from Europol in The Hague.
- Welcome. - Thanks.
Before the hit man knifed him.
he sent Hallgrim greetings from Tomas.
Let's return the greeting.
Did you interview the two Albanians you tapped?
Yes. They say Tomas has called off the vendetta. But he hasn't.
ls the Krashnici clan well established in the market?
They control 40% of our heroin sales
whilst the Serbs control more than 1 00 strip clubs.
We're talking about a billion in turnover?
Sorry. but why would Tomas risk all that for Hallgrim?
Johannes. you've profiled Tomas.
lt's a bit sketchy. We don't know much.
He lived a jet-set life in Paris.
lncluding during the war in Kosovo. Here's a photo.
Tomas is on the right. The other guy's his enforcer.
Josip. Remember him?
He tried hard to shoot me in Oslo.
A vendetta may be the price Tomas has to pay to be top dog.
- Where is he now? - We don't know.
We know he flew out of Kosovo this morning.
Frandsen...
Let's get down to business.
You've got a list of members
and presumed members associated with the clan.
lt includes Danish gentry who we will now focus on.
- Put the heat on? - Exactly.
lt's about visible harassment.
Stop cars. seize things on any pretext.
check residency and work permits.
empty brothels. haul girls in for questioning.
Arne. you said you can seize five kilos of heroin a week.
But we want the drug lords.
l want you to dry the city out.
- You'll get the lot. - lnvestigate their legal businesses.
Here's a list of cafes and garages and so on.
lf so much as 50 kroner can't be accounted for...
And we'll tell them what we're after. The attacker and Tomas.
We won't stop. even if it takes three months.
Nazim's in charge of that part of the action.
They'll start ringing around out of frustration.
Business is going bust.
Someone will get fed up and spill the beans.
How many wiretaps can your computer handle?
- A hundred. - Michael's in charge there.
Johannes. l believe the case has caused havoc at your end?
Since yesterday it's been discussed across the Balkans.
l've just had it confirmed that Berlin.
Prague. Vienna. Bratislava and Budapest will join the action.
We're there too. From Oslo.
All we need is the nod from you.
When can we be ready?
At 1 3.50?
You hear it?
The silence before the storm.
- Like this? - No. Not at all.
Not at all. He didn't have a beard.
No... yes. okay. More like...
- His eyes. - You liked his eyes before.
Yes. but...
They're too big. lt looks odd.
Listen to me. Eddie. You're simply too tired.
Yes. Let's take a break.
- How's it going? - He's a lousy witness.
Maybe he's upset.
Why aren't they moving heaven and earth?
- They're in conference. - They can manage that. eh?
l hate to tell you. but you stink.
- Do l? - Yes.
Maybe because l've been down that drain.
Did you find it?
lt looks like what we've been looking for.
- Why didn't you call me? - l just did.
ls that all it takes?
One to the heart and it's over.
- Great. Congratulations. - Keep it.
- Won't the police want it? - Either of us can check for fingerprints.
Thanks.
- Report who found it. - Have l ever taken from you?
Every day.
- No. Jens. Not now. - My wife.
My children. My dog.
Appreciate what you have while you can. ls that the lesson?
- Will he pull through? - Of course.
Jens. how should l know?
Well... see you. Jens.
Hi.
Have you been crying?
You've been crying.
Why didn't you say something?
Your sister said it's typical.
You called Johanna?
She can't come until tomorrow.
lt's not necessary for her to come.
lf l were you and you didn't call my brother. l'd be angry.
- l didn't know you had a brother. - No.
We know so little about each other.
l've missed you.
Careful.
- Sorry. - Hauge. come in.
What are you doing here?
l heard about you and got on a plane.
- You haven't time for that. - l'm off soon.
- Fine. - Here you are.
- We're going to get him. - Sure you will.
We're sending shock waves throughout Europe.
You could have removed the dummies.
What?
lt's a maternity bouquet.
l grabbed the nicest one in the shop.
- Does it matter? - No. not at all.
That's just fine.
Would you recognise him again?
l'm sure. l need to see some mug shots.
- Can you get me a computer? - Yes. but not now.
Do we know who sent him?
He sent greetings from Tomas.
What?
When this is over bring your wife to Norway.
l'm a colleague. Marie Wied.
- Oh. it's you. Sorry. - That's okay.
Why make such a big deal of telling us who sent him?
And how did Tomas find me?
- Through his enforcer Josip? - Perhaps.
Just for once. leave the work to us.
There's something fundamental we've overlooked.
Can you get me that computer?
There are neither prints nor blood. Very professional.
Shall l send it across to you? Okay. l'll send it to London.
There's something else.
What you said about the dog.
Would you like to have Bingo?
But they can visit him.
You live near the park. We've only got a small flat.
Okay. But give it some thought.
The French say the Krashnici clan has invested heavily in Paris.
- They're in. - Good.
We're just about there.
- Shall we? - Why not?
But you can't walk, Åge,
l thought you'd retired.
l have.
l hear you're still playing big.
The Albanian Lady...
Come on. relax.
They'll be pissed off with you. Tell them it's because of Tomas.
- l don't know him. - Obviously not.
He sent a man after my best friend.
To be quite honest. that makes me a bit cross.
Tell them this will go on until we get him.
Will you?
Have a nice drive.
- Are you progressing? - Slowly.
Keep at it.
- l don't want to stay here. - lt's only till tonight.
Under the same roof as your French harlot...
- Daddy! - My baby! Come to me...
- What the hell? - What?
Call somebody.
- Hallgrim! - What's up?
Please go outside.
Hallgrim!
You have to go outside.
He's slipping.
The drainage tube is loose. lt looks bad.
- Will you do it here? - ln theatre.
- Where's he going? - Theatre.
Are you ready to take him? Good.
He's been monitored so he can be anaesthetised straight away.
Sorry. you can't come in.
Treated stab wound. Possible heart perforation.
Are we all ready? One. two. three.
- Do you have a pulse? - Very faint.
He's clammy and pale.
Hallgrim!
They asked me to come for you now.
l don't know if l'm ready.
When are we ever?
Come on.
Somebody's waiting for you.
He's going.
Where are we going?
Through the zone of those who died prematurely.
l should have had children.
Lots.
There should be a law against dying from an act of love.
You didn't kill them. l did.
- But you don't feel any guilt. - So you take the guilt on for me?
We've lost him.
You're going on. l'm staying here.
Hallgrim...
Some good advice.
You'll never return if you kill the sun god's oxen.
What?
l didn't immerse myself in The Odyssey,
lt's only now l see how small you are.
Mummy's little man. l made you too grown-up.
You have your dad's blue eyes.
You were so afraid after all that with Finn.
You thought you'd killed your best friend.
l slapped you.
No wonder you've felt guilty all these years.
Can you ever forgive me?
Can you?
Yes.
You must go now.
Already?
l've just arrived.
You must. Someone's waiting for you in lceland.
Hallgrim. you can't do that. lt's too late.
Now you can remember me without guilt.
Off you go.
l'm coming with you.
How many oxen did the sun god have?
365.
One for each day.
ls it that simple?
That every day is a gift. ls that it?
Yes.
Come on. We're going up there.
No.
Because then l'll die.
He's back.
Okay.
We should never give up.
Let's get him stabilised.
Cooperate. Who do you work for?
l said. for myself. l'm losing money sitting here.
Then cooperate.
- Shut me down? - Quiet!
Your fucking garage is history. Give me a name. Or that's it.
lt's wild. They're all phoning for it to be stopped.
But no one's talking.
- Go back to the christening. - l can't.
Why not? They've invented these. you know.
Yes. now you mention it.
Marie?
lt's over.
Meaning?
- Has he come round? - No.
- Did you talk to the doctor? - Yes.
- What did she say? - She...
lt's impossible to get a word out of you.
Tell me. Nice and easy.
The knife had...
pierced his heart and they were going to operate and then...
he died.
What?
Only for a few minutes. then he came back.
They sutured the hole.
Tied a knot in a piece of string.
He's in recovery.
What about his head? Any brain damage?
No. all's fine. He's out of danger.
lt took you a long time to get that sentence out.
Buy him some flowers from us.
Bye.
Hallgrim's out of danger.
Listen. all of you.
Hallgrim's made it.
Bravo!
l didn't get a trace.
Any questions?
Alpha. go through the basement. Bravo and Charlie. around the back.
lt's the police!
l just wanted to say hi. My clinic is close by.
What a fright.
l died. Did you hear about it?
And now you want to hear how it was.
lt's always nice to be well prepared.
That's not why l'm here.
l met a boy.
Don't.
lt's yours. Don't just turn it into a good story.
But talking of good stories...
- ls that the one? - What?
Everyone's talking about that ring.
Really? Yes.
- May l? - Sure.
No matter how many times this ring gets wet in the future...
you can't wash away the fact it saved your life.
Hi.
Marie.
l've got a patient. lt's nice to see you well again.
- Thanks for coming. - You're welcome.
Has he got a name?
Well... yes.
Jack Greene.
British. Executed after 1 p.m. He was a mercenary for the Serbs.
The Hague wants him for war crimes.
- Wanted. - What?
Yes. of course.
Associated with the Serbian Alliance. What's that?
A Serbian mafia.
The Albanians' rivals for the European drug market.
Why on earth would the Albanians
hire someone from the Serbian mafia to kill me?
- lt could be the other way around. - What?
That Josip sold himself to the Serbs.
Josip's an Albanian. Would he sell himself to the Serbs?
l thought they were deadly enemies.
Everything has a price... if it's high enough.
lt's obvious. That's what it is.
lt's crystal clear.
Relax. You've just had an operation.
lt's all about the Serbs taking over the heroin market.
l don't follow.
Why did Jack Greene tell Eddie that he brought greetings from Tomas?
So we'd focus on the Albanians.
And did we?
- We broke them up. - So the Serbs could take over.
What was in it for Josip?
Can you handle visitors?
Thanks for surviving. lt's been the worst day of my life.
l dreaded taking over your job.
Where did you put the glasses?
- Oh. l forgot them. - The matron will lend us some.
Bloody hell. Hallgrim.
- Didn't you bake a cake? - Yes. here it is.
Thea sends her love. She had to return to the christening.
Of course.
l... l made room on our homepage for people to write in.
You've got 223 ""get well"" messages.
Thanks.
Château Mouton Rothschild '92.
You won't know the difference but l have to drink it too.
l almost stopped at a church to light a candle for you.
Even if you can't ask for help...
there's no need for you to burn in hell.
As Goethe so splendidly put it...
Goethe?
ls he from our unit?
""A woman and a glass of wine cure all needs.
""He who neither drinks nor kisses is...""
Dead.
Let's toast.
To Hallgrim's resurrection.
lsn't it a bit sour?
Here's to you. Frandsen.
lt was a great idea. lt was easy.
Maybe a bit too easy.
How much has today cost Tomas?
At an estimate... 50 million.
With respect. and in spite of 223 ""get well"" messages...
l'm not worth it.
So it's not about a vendetta at all?
Tomas...
We did the Serbs' dirty work so they could take over the market.
They took us for a bloody ride.
And Europol. Germany and France too.
Or we cleared the way for Josip.
Meaning?
Why else would Josip kill Jack?
Of course.
To remain the uniting force for the Albanians.
Bravo.
- But he needs one thing. - Tomas.
- Where's Tomas now? - No one knows.
Why are you all so gloomy? Frandsen. you look like an undertaker.
- Welcome back. - Thank you very much.
l have to warn you. She insisted.
- Who? - Sorry.
A porter wanted my autograph.
There are voters everywhere.
- l'm glad you didn't die. - So am l.
First a christening and then this...
Lucky it didn't go wrong.
l tended the buffet all day with lb. He's so funny. Thea.
He is.
Well. Shouldn't we find some glasses?
We have to celebrate the great work you did today.
But the best thing is that the hit man was British and white.
An Albanian would have earned the extreme right four more seats.
- lt's been a long day. - Politics can be primitive.
- We can imagine. - The stories l could tell.
Hallgrim... Sorry for interrupting.
Tomas is in Berlin. Josip just called him.
Do you have his number? Contact the Germans.
Aren't you all a bit boring? Well. l'm going home.
Thanks for coming.
- What's in this champagne? - We're off.
- lt's great you're alive. - You've already said.
The Germans need his number. When they have it. l'll call him.
- To say what? - To warn him.
Why not call him now?
When the Germans are ready.
Let go of that child and say goodbye to your mother.
l'll come to New York as soon as l can.
Darling. l'll find a way to join you over there.
- Why can't you come with us? - l'd be stopped at the airport.
Your brother wouldn't have let this happen.
- You wanted revenge. - You're not a man.
A man wouldn't listen to a woman.
Good. Thanks a lot. One moment.
Berlin is ready.
- Hello. - lt's me.
l'm off to bed.
We need 30 seconds to trace the call.
Do you want me to call now?
Yes.
l've got your passport and US visa.
Okay. come on up.
Yes?
Tomas Krashnici?
- Yes. - Hallgrim Hallgrimsson. Don't hang up.
What do you want?
l'm still alive.
But you're in danger.
Why would you warn me that l'm in danger?
Someone has to decide not to cast the next stone.
Josip didn't obey you.
He sent Jack Greene to kill me. but he failed.
- Jack Greene? - Exactly.
We're 1 00% certain that Josip is coming to kill you.
Don't hang up.
- Fuck! - We lost him.
Very good. Thanks a lot. Goodbye.
Tomas shot Josip.
The German police have arrested him.
- l think we should leave. - Yes.
Of course.
Marie...
- Stay awhile. - What?
Close the door and come over here.
Put your hand under the cover.
Do it.
ls this for me?
Yes.
Will you?
