Hjalmar, can you mention anyone who isn’t dead?
You don’t have a damn thing without me.
- Harlem Club. - Now we’re getting started.
Stop, or I shoot.
Meyer, Novak, Hjalmar ... they don’t tolerate mistakes. Not even from you.
- You're lying to me. - Be quiet!
- Dad is involved in something. - They could kill him.
- The receipt for your coat. - You don’t care about my father.
Svenne. Carlo. Curly.
Why didn't you do as I asked you?
Can you forgive yourself?
- They work for Zemich. - He doesn’t exist.
Zemich is the underworld’s symbol of evil.
- Zemich’s resistance group. - He shot people on a whim.
- Weasel. - Weasel.
Davidsen.
I know who The Spider is. He’s called Davidsen.
Office manager at Oxford House. Lives in Peter Bang’s street.
- Where is it? - My wife knows.
The Søfyrbøder. Who is Zemich?
He's evil. He is Satan. He is the darkness within yourself.
(Phone rings many times)
- Yes, hello? - Bjarne Madsen?
Something has happened in Peter Bang’s street 74.
- Where go? - No. 74., Peter Bang’s street.
- Go there. - Peter Bangs ...
No.74? Who am I speaking with? Hello?
This case falls under t he Frederiksberg Police.
- Naturally. Is anything stolen? - No.
- Sure? A safe perhaps? - We have been through everything.
You have a curious ability to show up just after a murder.
- Why are you here? - There was someone who rang.
Will you tell me who it was?
Madsen, you have seen so much blood. It is like you seek it out.
- Why do you keep on? - Jensen, have a look.
It's amphetamine.
Check whether Davidson was prescribed medication.
The best thing you can do is to find your brother. Before others do.
What is it? I shouldn’t have listened to you.
- I should have gone to the police. - You're out of it soon.
- Roll up your sleeves. - I won’t. Fuck my ass.
Come on. Roll up your sleeves.
I’m not having that shit.
Of course you are. It will take you to a better place.
All that shit about being my friend.
Yes, this is shitty.
Of the stupid pigs I've met, you’re the fucking dumbest.
I ... have a jazz club.
You’re not coming and destroying that, are you with me?
- Yes, I'm with you. - It’s...
... is full of ... beautiful music.
And beautiful people.
And they smile.
Why Arthur?
Why take it out on me?
You are just a small piece.
If Zemich says:”Use him”, then I use you.
If he says: “Kill him”, then I kill you.
If he says, ”Jump”, I jump.
For Denmark.
Bjarne is writing the main story.
I want every conceivable angle.
The Neighbor who found them is hospitalized for shock treatment.
Madsen? Taulov wants to speak with you.
Jochumsen, try Oxford House. Where Davidsen was Office Manager.
I hear you've already been out on Peter Bang Street.
- You write the main story? - I know it's Zemich.
That is what Davidsen wanted to talk to me about.
Every time I get close to Zemich, people get killed.
Have you talked to the police?
Is something wrong?
- What's wrong, Bjarne? - It's my brother.
I saw him. At Peter Bangsvej. Just before the murder.
So are you involved, Bjarne. Wait with your angle on the story.
Jochumsen write the main story, so you can work freely.
Are you aware of an agreement between Gordan and Hjalmar?
How did you get to know about Hjalmar? Through Gordan?
Look here. It’s the indictment against you.
Bribery, smuggling, robbery, pimping, assault, murder ...
The Corps has great loyalty if it is mutual.
You are charged in the case against Svend Aage Hjalmar.
Why didn’t you tell that you were in Davidsen's apartment last night?
A witness saw you call for a man. Who was it?
We must help the police as much as we can.
But you were there, you won’t deny it? Why were you there?
The murderer was in Davidsen's apartment around 6 o’clock.
The downstairs neighbor heard a thud. They were there for 20-30 minutes before it happened.
Who did you call out for? A tall, blond man in his 30s-
- who arrived in a taxi?
We raided your brother's restaurant, and found the American amphetamine.
Damn it, Madsen.
It was your brother, you cried out for. That has beaten a policeman to death.
- Who was it you cried out for? - I can’t say anything.
- Who was it? - Source protection.
Are you kidding me?
You will need friends. You should know who your friends are.
Police Commissioner Gordan died last night.
Of a heart attack. Congratulations.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Yes, Miss Hansen. - I've just heard it.
It pains me, Lisbeth. I'm really sorry.
You shouldn’t be. You just did your job.
- What happens to you and your mom? - Mom has probably made a deal.
- We'll get by. - And what about us?
- Will you marry me? - We can’t do that.
Yes. I’ll quit, and then we go away together.
I want you.
I should never have started looking into this.
Suddenly, in the middle of it, there was no way back.
It eats you up.
It wasn’t what I wanted. It wasn’t my intention.
Don’t leave me Lisbeth. I love you.
- Maybe we can meet again one day. - I think not.
- Egon, then go ahead ... - Yes.
You’re not here to say sorry, are you?
No.
- What do you want? - Ask for your help.
- Why the hell would I do that? - For Ole.
Let me tell you something, little brother.
You don’t know what is good. It’s your defect.
You don’t know how to live. Really live.
You only see things in black and white.
What have you gotten out of all this?
I don’t care. But I have to get Ole out of it.
- Don’t make me cry. - You have to stay here for 7 years.
- While Zemich takes your share. - Your brother is dead.
Arthur ate him and spat him out.
- Is that something you know? - One can never know, right?
- Where is he? - What do I get in return?
- What do you want? - A nice legacy.
Not about those nasty things.
I was just a colorful figure.
- All right. - Try Erik’s Street 5.
But it's not like Arthur to keep him alive for so long.
Is Arthur Zemich?
There is a black Citroen following me. Is it Zemich?
Little brother? Beware.
Where the hell are you?
It was about fucking time. I pay for your children's schooling.
Goodbye, Svend Aage.
Ole?
Ole? Ole!
Ole, wake up. Ole, wake up!
Ole! Wake up!
Hello? Is there anyone who can call an ambulance?
Little brother?
Shut up ... Hjalmar said you were dead.
Hjalmar? When did you become friends?
Sit up.
- How are you? - Fine.
Why were you in Peter Bang’s Street?
- I didn’t do anything. - There was blood everywhere.
Let me be.
I can’t.
It wasn’t me.
- It was Arthur. - What were you after?
- We were to get something, he said. - What were you getting?
What were you getting?!
Arthur killed the wife. And the man didn’t know where it was.
- Because she had hidden it. - Ole, what had she hidden?
- A ne ... - A what? Ole, a what?!
Ole, what was it?
A negative.
You’ll never be happy.
You must leave the country.
Who are you?!
- Where ... do we go? - Home.
- Mother ... - Is it you, Bjarne?
Hi, Mom.
It was good that you came.
You need some coffee, right? Just sit down.
Ole, tell me how is everything working out.
- Are you about to get things on track? - Yes ...
- When do you open it then? - Oh ... not yet.
- Ole will have to go away. - Yes ...
- It's for the best. - Yes ...
He was discharged yesterday. But he is not completely healthy yet.
Bjarne, come in.
How are you?
Surely it is about time that we really become friends?
- Hans Christian. - Bjarne.
I've never felt better.
I’m writing my book about the Copenhagen underworld.
- If I had known that Billy... - It's alright.
I've never been a good father to him.
I was thinking too much about my work. But it must end now.
I want to get Jesper out of that environment.
I have lost Lisbeth.
I don’t know...
I do not know what ... it ...
Nooo ...
The receipts that felled Gordan, did you get them from Lisbeth?
No, it was ...
- Zemich! - Isn’t Zemich in South America?
- If he exists. - It's Zemich’s resistance group.
The Søfyrbøder, Davidsen and weasel. Look at the left side.
- There is something missing. - He wants to remove them all.
- Gordan, Hjalmar, Davidsen, Weasel. - Who took the picture then?
Arthur. Arthur of cou ...
I need your help. Meet me at the office in about an hour.
- Where are you going? - Going to find a negative.
- What do you want? - I come from the Social- Democrat.
- I was here this morning. - You have to ask Frederiksberg Police.
It’s just that, I lost my notepad.
- Do you know where you lost it? - In the bedroom.
Go and have a look. And you stay here.
What the hell are you doing?
- Eva, I need you. - Bjarne, my darling.
- I must have a copy of this. - Deceived again.
- Ask Photo-Brandt. - I need someone I can trust.
I have the police on my neck. Here are my notes.
We are busy. Write the article.
- Madsen! - Not now.
Who asked me to write about the Education Fund?
About “The Decade of Peace”? About Vanbjerg as a humanist?
It was Taulov. Who spoke with Taulov?
It was the Minister of Justice. And who spoke with the Minister of Justice?
Of course.
He could use me. He knew what I was on the track of.
Then I got Vissing involved. We worked for him.
There he is. At the far left.
If this fails...
Meet me in the composing-room in about 5 minutes.
I have something here I think you should read.
Main story for tomorrow. About the true Spider.
It... we can’t print it.
No, of course.. Then It could overturn the government.
I just wanted you to see it.
Now you can make the call.
The Minister of Justice, please.
- Where is he? - I don’t know.
Where's Bjarne Madsen? He is wanted for murder.
I would advise you to cooperate.
Anyone who covers for him is complicit.
We take it all down to the station.
We must have it all. Everything must be included.
- What is this? - A search of the offices.
- Does Taulov know? - Yes.
- Long live the free press. - Long live the free press.
It's like riding a bike. One never forgets.
- Hello? - You’ re writing an article?
- I am, yes. - About me, I suppose.
- Exactly. - I've got your brother.
- You don’t have my brother. - May I suggest that you call home.
- It is at Madsen’s. - Is it Arthur?
Yes. We’re right here, having a cup of coffee.
Me and Ole. Your mom.
- Do you want to speak with your brother? - Yes.
Ole, Bjarne wants to tell you something.
- A gas station? - Yes. In about 20 years, everyone will be traveling by car.
Yes?
- Ole? - Bjarne, I ... am sorry.
Everything okay?
- Yes. - More coffee?
- We are ready to go to press. - Wait.
I'll call. In two hours. You stay here.
And if I don’t call, so just print the shit.
Good evening, Mr Madsen.
- I expected you. - Good evening, Zemich.
Bravo.
You have followed my plan. Now you just have to realize why I'm right.
They have two hours to convince me.
You are very confident. Have you gotten hold of the truth now?
- Why would you try to stop me? - Make sure you print the whole truth.
- Your truth? - No, the truth.
And then you have to defend something that is very hard to defend.
- We must all make compromises. - By killing a bunch of people?
When you’re building an entirely new society, someone has to go in front.
- They were all just some stupid pigs. - Was I on the list as well?
Mr. Madsen, we need young, talented people like you.
The future lies open for you. Editor, Radio boss, Minister.
- What do you want? The Cavling prize? - What is it you want?
Push society in the right direction.
We have followed a plan that benefits the whole country.
Tell me, what gives you the right to beat Meyer to death?
Meyer was a despicable traitor.
- Was it you yourself that shot? - According to the mythology, yes.
But it was Arthur.
You see, people wanted in on it. All sorts of people wanted in.
Hjalmar, because he had smuggled gold with Meyer.
Gordan, because he thought he could hush down the matter.
- Make documents disappear? - Yes, and kill people.
Assets were to remain in abeyance until we entered the 50’s.
- But everybody just wanted more and more. - Novak and Volmer Olsen?
- Yes. - So you got them killed.
They were not supposed to turn up again, right?
It was then, you understood how frail it all was, eh.
No, I decided to return to the original plan.
The assets shouldn’t fall into the wrong hands.
- And Davidsen? - Davidsen pressured me too.
- With the negative? - And other stuff.
As we thankfully got hold of.
- And weasel pushed you too? - Personal gain.
You have been in the resistance group together.
Serving a higher cause one must transcend all morality.
- And what about Arthur? - Arthur is a true soldier.
- A truly loyal person. - And Billy?
It was necessary to stop you. Young Vissing was a tool.
The negative, Mr Madsen. And then you stop the article.
- What about my brother? - He can leave the country.
- I want Billy in the deal as well. - Shall we begin with the negative?
How can I be sure that you comply with the agreement?
Do you think I am a psychopath?
Can I have 65 Vega.
Arthur? It's okay. Bring Billy along.
One last question.
- Why me? - Well, why?
Come on. I'll show you something.
- Good evening, Sergeant. - Mr. Director.
- It's Meyer's gold? - Yes.
These are the 2 tons of gold to the Education Fund?
Good heavens, no. There are 20 tonnes. At least.
- 20 Tons? - 200 Million. With the current rate.
- Meyer only smuggled 2 tons. - Yes, it was the last shipment.
Do you think I've done all of this for pennies?
- What kind of gold is it? - It is “German gold”.
- Where is it headed? - Well, where do you think?
The National Bank.
Time will pay tribute to the Marshall aid-
- but the gold will give our country the decisive edge.
If I write the truth, it is injurious to the state?
They will lend a hand to the forces, that enslave people in the east.
You will basically spit on democracy.
Out.
- Arthur. - Don’t worry, I won’t let you down.
You’re throwing it all away for my sake.
I don’t throw anything away.
Say hi to mom.
Don’t forget to write.
What the hell was I thinking? Starting a jazz club in Copenhagen.
If you ever come to New York, then...
... look for the Harlem Club.
- I love you, Ole. - I love you, Bjarne.
Mr. Madsen, we have a front page we should stop.
7220, thanks.
Eva, it's Bjarne. You have to stop the article.
It doesn’t hold water. The story was false. Just stop it.
Eva, do as I say, stop the article.
That was it.
I was hoping I could save your life. The last sacrifice I must make.
- No! - You are too dangerous with all that you know.
If only you had been for sale.
Save me your explanations. I know you are a pig.
Pigs!
Wait till I have left, Arthur.
Arthur?
Arthur? Arthur?
Well, then it ended with Arthur instead of you.
Strange, how the pieces always fall into place eventually.
I'm not going to report your colleague for murder. Are you?
Give it up, Bjarne. You will never survive it.
I'm just a small piece. Behind me there is another one.
And behind him is another. There is always another one, Bjarne.
Jesper come.
Come on. Let us go home. Come, Jesper.
What do you have?
The Keldernæs-murder. It is a brutal murder.
The Titan coup. Some of the banknotes were fake.
It shows that management apparently tampers with the payroll.
Then I have an interview with the breakaway king, Lorentzen.
For him it is a matter of honor to break out of all prisons.
Bjarne! Don’t work all night.
The Cleaning staff think-
- you’re a dustbunny, they can’t get rid of.
