Request for Assistance A-7/01
Horsens State Prison 07.41, Wednesday April 18
Are you sure you don't want a lift?
What about saying goodbye properly?
- You're three minutes late. - Move your arse, the cab's here.
Where I come from, people are on time.
Would you like this?
Not that I think you deserve it.
Ivan?
I thought we had a deal.
Yes... So?
Was that job any good?
Otherwise a building site in Brabrand needs a guard.
You were to leave him alone. Don't you remember?
Fancy this watch?
Was he really something special?
Perhaps.
If that's your taste.
Hello?
UNIT ONE
In those days we were convinced, that witches got shagged by the devil.
Episode 21
How?
By getting the women to admit intimate details
under threat of fire.
- Why by the devil? - They weren't sure.
They're still unsure. The devil can take on any form.
The romantic lover or the beast of a demon with a forked dick.
Is that the topic of your talk today?
- You'll get a full house. - Yes, but...
- I'd prefer it if they cancelled. - I'm due in Copenhagen.
Excuse me.
Hi, darling.
- Are the kids all right? - Yes.
My wife wants to come and see me.
You'll have to invite her over.
- I don't know. - She'll like this town.
See you.
Hi, Ulf.
My mobile was switched off.
Okay.
Here in Ärhus?
Hi, Jan.
What?
- You're late. - I was visiting relatives.
- What's up? - Nothing.
- What have you got for me? - A spanking gone wrong.
Plus ten years for desecrating a corpse.
His position... Was he raped?
I don't know, but...
- You look bloody great. - But what?
It looks like a Muslim reprisal.
If he's gay it's a way of degrading him.
- Allah would never accept him. - But perhaps he wasn't gay.
- Have a sniff of him. - Are you serious?
Newly shaven Turkish men smell of that lemon crap.
His clothes reek of it. He's been in a clinch with a Turk.
Hi, LaCour.
This is covered in tooth marks.
Let's look for the owner of the teeth.
Good idea.
- What was he reading? - Reading?
- Did he wear glasses? - I'll check.
Honestly,
what would a non-Muslim do in Allah's heaven?
Ärhus Police Station 13.17, Wednesday April 18
Don't you tire of being on my arse all the time?
Give it here.
Well, lvan... What did you do Friday?
- Between 15.00 and 19.30? - You want to know?
Yes.
I was in the slammer
waiting to be grilled on a third robbery I didn't do.
Check this shit out. You're the cop.
Say hi to Betty.
Sure, I will.
You got tired of Svendborg?
I could have stayed for years but my wife missed Ärhus.
Congratulations.
Thanks, but I'm not quite sure...
Most of it's administration and personnel politics.
Not like...
- Shall we get going? - Yes.
Rasmus Krogh. 52, entrepreneur.
One year in prison for tax evasion.
He was released this morning at 7.
Murdered on the train on his way to Ärhus
between 7.40 and 8.08, so not even an hour's freedom...
- Was he married? - To Birthe. But she'd left him.
She remained in the big villa in Skåde Bakker and...
he enjoyed both grog, women and his workforce.
Any connections with immigrants?
None known, but prison's full of them.
- And men? - Prison's full of them too.
Let's have a chat to his prison pals.
Gaby, get Fischer. Yes, IP?
Perhaps someone he'd cheated was waiting for him to get out?
- Heard from Fischer? - Yes, around 10.
So why isn't he here?
- He's probably with Ida. - Oh. What a mess.
He wanted to see Otto who'd called him.
- Otto? - From the hotel fire in Nyborg.
Secure Institution 14.10, Wednesday April 18
Why doesn't she come?
- Britt's dead. Remember? - Yes. Yes, of course.
But why can't she be allowed to visit me?
All the others can have visits from their girlfriends.
Except me. And I did ask nicely.
Where does this one go? No, over there.
Hi, Ingrid.
Yes. I'm sitting here with Otto.
We're doing... To Horsens?
And it has to be now? We're just doing a...
Okay, I'll get over there. Right away. Bye.
- Not too hard. - That's a really good fit.
- Otto, I have to go. - What kind of car do you drive?
Please talk to them and ask if she can come just once.
- You're my friend, Allan. - You bet I am, Otto.
Horsens State Prison 15.05, Wednesday April 18
- It's bloody ironic. - What is?
- He gets it on the outside. - Oh, yes.
In here he had some heavies to look after him.
He wasn't called Daddy for nothing.
His favourite was Ahmed Abdullah Ahmed.
Ahmed was sick with jealousy when he was replaced by Kåre.
Kåre is better-looking.
Kåre who we're seeing now?
Yes, if this is one of the days he's connected to earth.
Hi, Kåre. My name's Allan Fischer.
I'm from the chief of police's Unit One.
I bless you with love.
Thanks.
But I'm here to talk about Rasmus Krogh.
- Who? - The one you call Daddy.
- He's gone home. - Yes.
- Were you friends? - No.
But he was fucking you, right?
Did he have contact with Muslims in here.
No... I don't know.
Kåre, Daddy's dead.
- I think he was killed. - Why didn't you say so?
You didn't know?
He's passed to the other side, to those he loves.
- But... - Out! Scram!
- It didn't surprise you? - He's got bad karma coming.
Right.
- Going to Ärhus? - Yes.
Can I come? I'm getting out in two hours.
I don't think I've got the time. Take care.
The soccer player Frank Arnesen has retired so...
Brian and Michael asked for you.
The Gold Team with the Laudrup brothers?
You need ask? They actually remember me?
What? Yes, but...
Golly gosh.
What's bugging you? I'm on the bench?
No, no.
How...
How do you... How do you get an HIV test?
Is that all? It's nothing serious, then.
Gaby would have had that when she fell pregnant.
I see! She's not the lucky one?
- Poland... - Poland?
Shit!
- Is it worse than other places? - Totally.
East Europe's exploding.
They may be somewhat behind, but on that front...
But you took precautions so there's no danger.
- You didn't? - I did.
But it burst? Buy the good ones, Johnny.
Take it easy for a few months. I can't tell till then.
Come to the clinic then and I'll check you out.
- The Laudrups remembered me? - Sure they did.
Relax, Johnny.
It's like winning the lottery. Only one in a million gets lucky.
See you on the Gold Team.
We'll give that ball a right kicking. See you.
He still has two columns in Who's Who.
- They'd have kept him in? - More than one crook's in there.
- Yes. - Ingrid.
He had something going with Mehmet, a young Turk.
He's in prison.
We know where he was this morning.
But on March 19 a month ago
one of Daddy's former pets was released.
He was a young Egyptian
by the name of Ahmed Abdullah Ahmed.
Right?
He got jealous when Daddy dropped him.
Who for?
Kåre Melville Hansen.
A young Dane caught smuggling heroin from Goa.
I think he took it all himself. He was really weird.
- But he gets out today. - Thanks.
Daddy had an affair with a Turk, but he's still inside.
We'd better have a word with Ahmed Abdullah Ahmed.
I'm off.
Shall I bring something home? Need anything?
- Where are you going? - Hamburg. Back tomorrow.
The night-life there is very lively.
- Don't, Gaby. - Didn't you take that test?
It's no dice for two months.
We know where we stand, then.
As it stands now...
that test is irrelevant.
Ahmed Abdullah Ahmed is in prison in Berlin.
He was done for robbery two days after his release.
Bloody hell.
What else have we got?
- Your hair has grown. - And you're smoking.
I can stop. It's no problem.
I'll help you.
- Did you hear about Daddy? - Yes.
- It's past 7. - Yes?
I must show you something.
In a minute a blue Mondeo will pull up.
At 19.14 precisely. Now!
It's 19.15. She drives off. The man doesn't get out.
One minute in all.
The day's takings, about 250,000 in cash.
The same routine for three weeks.
I've watched her every day.
Same again tomorrow.
- It's only one minute. - I don't have a watch.
Well... Five metres more and I'm a very divorced man.
- See you. - Yes.
Fischer!
About your visiting Otto off your own bat...
What? Is it a problem? It was on my own time...
Calm down.
We closed that case too soon.
Okay.
- But do check in with me. - Sure.
Good morning.
- Weren't you going home? - I thought I was.
- You didn't get my message? - No, I didn't.
Hi.
I was dreaming in the shower.
- Ingrid Dahl, Homicide. - I'm Anna.
- Did we do something wrong? - No.
I met your husband in Kulhuse
where he was a witness.
We've met up on and off since.
- So you're Danish? - Danish?
No... We only met yesterday.
We've been eyeing each other for a while.
I went to hear Staffan's talk about devils and demons.
It was fantastic.
An interesting theory.
You never know which form the devil takes.
Yes.
Fancy you knowing a chief of Homicide.
- May I have some juice? - Yes.
Where...
- Where are we going? - Down here.
This is really...
These gardens are really pretty.
Come on.
Oh, wow!
Where are we going, Fischer? All these roads...
Down here.
It says Britt.
Fischer, why does it say Britt?
Because Britt's buried here.
- No. - Yes.
How come?
They put Britt in a coffin, put the lid on
and placed the coffin in a hole.
They put some earth and flowers on it
and got a nice headstone with her name on it.
- She can't get up again? - No.
But, Fischer...
I taught her to write Britt.
Britt with two T's.
Good morning.
- Boysen. - Thanks.
What did you find during the autopsy on Britt?
In Nyborg. In March. Found in a rest area.
I don't remember that autopsy.
Why not? It's only a month ago.
I recall 33 charred bodies I had to identify.
Her retarded boyfriend is probably innocent of her murder.
- Let's get on with this case. - I am.
It would be nice if it was the same case.
I need that report today.
What are we looking for?
Briefing 14.18, Thursday April 19
We're looking for a man who smells of lemon aftershave.
- The type used in Turkey. - Why?
- The corpse stank of it. - Mehmet from Horsens.
He'd "kissed" Daddy goodbye.
He didn't just smell of it, he reeked.
That's a dead end, then.
- What have you got, LaCour? - The butt's being DNA tested.
- If it's the perpetrator's. - Yes.
The gay angle?
He had gay sex after his morning shower.
- With Mehmet in prison? - Or anyone else later.
The DNA on his penis could conceivably be the murderer's.
- Did you check his fingers? - Why would he?
You were right. I found fresh ink from a morning paper.
He bought a newspaper at Horsens Station.
Yesterday morning at 7.25. We never found it.
- I've re-read Daddy's file. - Yes?
If the warden is right that Daddy shagged Kåre
then I can guess who killed him.
- Who? - Ivan A Jensen.
He was here yesterday.
- Anything on him? - No.
- Are you two keeping secrets? - No.
This one baffles me.
Daddy may have shagged a lot.
The difference is, lvan is Kåre's protector.
- I don't want to. - I get you.
- Are you feeling bad? - My guardian angel's gone.
We can go downstairs when we've eaten.
Yes, please.
- Eat up. - Thanks.
You've lost weight.
- Hasn't he, Betty? - I'll fatten him up.
Tell me if you want anything.
Robert wants us to check these two out.
Ivan is said to be Kåre's protector.
A naive, unrealistic boy who got caught with heroin.
He got life but was transferred to Horsens
with a reduced sentence of three years.
- Where he met lvan? - In there for a botched robbery.
They developed a strong mental bond.
They get up together, eat together,
read the same books, go to bed at the same time...
- Are they gay? - Dangerous suggestion.
You're lying in the bathtub.
In the warm water in your secret room.
At the foot of the bath stands your guardian angel.
Shining.
He's wearing his gold belt.
He's saying something to you.
"The Himalayas."
He's very big.
You follow the bright path.
You're as strong as a lion.
You're invincible.
Evil spirits are trying to stop you.
You are... invincible.
You're bringing the loot to me.
I'm waiting for you.
You get out of the bath.
You walk over to the door.
You open the door.
You leave your secret room.
Kåre?
I'm going to the Himalayas.
So the theory is that Daddy raped Kåre
and lvan took revenge when he got out?
Perhaps IP and Fischer should visit lvan.
I'm waiting for the whole Otto file from Nyborg.
- We've got another case. - I know.
- Five minutes. - IP, take Robert.
Okay.
Suspect's abode 17.12, Thursday April 19
He was interrogated yesterday for something he didn't do.
- What about between 8 and 9? - He was here with me.
We got up late.
And now?
He's a free man. He can suit himself.
Perhaps he's answering questions about JFK's murder.
Please leave. I'm preparing for Mum's birthday.
You know each other well?
All the boys were wild about Betty.
But she fell for lvan?
Some women like psychopaths.
- Is she lying? - Of course she is.
You and me at the top of the Himalayas.
Open it.
Look here.
You're here.
Here comes the car. At 19.14 precisely.
The woman gets out and walks towards you.
When you've taken the money you run down here.
To here.
Number six.
Your guardian angel is waiting for you.
You're invincible.
We made a mistake.
Ingrid.
Come here. We made a mistake.
Is it because Otto's retarded?
- You were there. - Look.
A little boy saw a car
at the rest area.
Who checked that clue?
No one checked it out.
The worst investigation ever.
What can I say, Fischer? You're looking into it, eh?
Aren't you getting some grub?
No, I'm not. You are. It's your turn.
Could you lend me...
His divorce is fleecing him.
I've already lent him 1500. I can't go on.
Hi.
- How was the trip to Hamburg? - Give me a break.
- Did it pay well? - Yeah...
- What did you carry? - Lingerie.
- What? - Lingerie.
- Are you in a hurry? - No. Why?
You want to come along for some grub?
How long is the trip? Got some dough? I forgot...
- Don't worry. - How long does it take?
Eight to nine hours. Do you want a job?
Dear Mum-in-law.
- He's written me a speech. - Shut up, damn you.
Just for once. This is for you.
You're worth your weight in gold. And so is Betty.
Betty...
You make me feel like a millionaire.
Before that I was a multi-millionaire.
- I'll pay you back tomorrow. - No hurry.
- I hope you find your card. - Yes.
It's one of those days when everything disappears.
You lost it where?
- Give me the money. - Piss off, you little worm.
Give me the money, I said.
You...
There!
- What's happening? - Call an ambulance.
Get down.
Get down!
Kåre Hansen. It's 19.18. You're under arrest.
To close this all off
I want to say congratulations.
Mummy!
Hi, there.
My name's Johnny. Is this your mum?
I'll just call an ambulance.
Someone will come soon and help her. Okay?
Do you live here?
The deceased are Else Petersen and Jakob Christoffersen.
Three shots... The first one hits the woman with the money.
The second shot hits Sanne Jakobsen by mistake.
She's okay.
The third hits the passenger in the car...
when he gets out after calling the police.
Then he runs over to this stairway.
He must have had a key to a flat.
- He drops the hood and jacket. - To avoid detection?
- And runs out the back. - Did he know anyone there?
- A fellow conspirator? - This is lvan's way of thinking.
Ivan planned this. Another botched robbery.
- Ivan doesn't live there. - His sister-in-law does.
Okay.
Then I think IP and Robert should get lvan.
The hooded an pulled out a gun
and shot the woan.
He turned on a an who cae to her aid.
He too was hit and killed.
The naes of the deceased are being withheld.
- Is lvan in? - Yes.
You'll stay and help Betty?
Lvan A Jensen? You're under arrest.
It's 22.31.
The charge is accessory to robbery and murder.
- That's a mouthful. - I was with him all night.
He made a speech for me and it's my birthday.
Fine. Tell that to the officer who's on his way.
I'll be seeing you, darling.
Don't let the party die down because I've had visitors.
Does this give you a hard-on?
The keys to the basement...
See you tomorrow.
I should have walloped Robert when he dobbed lvan in.
He might have chosen a decent job!
Stop that, Mum. Relax!
Kåre, who helped you plan this?
You didn't just pass by.
Did you?
You wore a mask.
You had a gun.
- You must have known. - What do you mean?
You got out yesterday.
Who told you she'd be there every day at the same time?
- My guardian angel told me. - Who is he?
He told me I'm going to the Himalayas.
I'll sit at the top of the mountain and write.
Where did you meet this angel?
In lvan's basement.
And lvan? Did he also see your guardian angel?
I was alone.
- Why there? - I'm done.
- You got the gun there? - Finished.
- You'd better answer, Kåre. - I have no more to say.
- The time is... - 22.12.
22.12. That's right.
Great watch. Interrogation terminated.
Some bloody guardian angel you've got yourself, Kåre.
Psychology Handbook.
The Hidden Man.
It looks very therapeutic.
- Finished with the bed? - Yes.
To whom am I listening?
- Is it lvan? - Look at this.
Kåre Melville Hansen...
His fingerprints must be here somewhere.
Can you tell who sat in that chair?
What did you want me to do?
He's my friend.
He just got out and he's broke.
- I had to help him. - Did you give him your gun?
- I don't have a gun. - That's not true.
Listen here, the only thing I'm guilty of
is letting him stay in my basement.
He had nowhere else to go.
But brotherly love is not rated much here.
You know me, Robert.
Well. Let's see... It's 00.12.
Interrogation terminated.
Come on. I'll take you back to the cell.
A smoke?
No.
No, thanks. I quit that shit.
- Good night. - Nighty-night.
This time you're going down.
If I have to plant the evidence myself.
- A life sentence is a long time. - Life?
Yes.
- Here's the truth, then. - And I'd believe you?
- Forget it. - No. Okay.
Okay?
- Supper and some beers. - I can't do that.
That's just police bullshit. You're so boring.
It's me you're talking to.
I really need a beer.
Did you wash?
Did she really say that?
And she wanted her mum so...
I stayed till she fell asleep.
Thanks. That was sweet of you.
I just wanted to check in on you.
I'm just lazing around here.
Can I do something for you? Call anyone?
- No. Don't worry about it. - Okay.
- Take care. - Perhaps you could...
- What? - Nothing.
- Yes. What? - Maybe you'd come again?
- I might do that. Perhaps. - What's your name?
- Johnny Olsen. - Hi, Johnny Olsen.
See you.
- Ingrid, we must talk. - About what?
- I'm sorry. - Poor you.
It wasn't...
I don't know...
why.
Sorry.
Good morning.
Hi, gorgeous. Shall we go?
- Gorgeous? What the hell? - Just shut up.
Good morning.
- What did lvan spill? - He was like a broken record.
"He had nothing to do with it." We had to take him back down.
- Any link to Daddy's murder? - Sure.
But it won't hold up when his wife gives him an alibi.
- Forensic evidence? - Some hope, but...
I'm awaiting further details...
Morning!
- Any shot glasses around? - Indeed. What's the occasion?
Robert did a splendid job last night.
- After you'd gone home. - I had a chat with lvan.
- You did what? - Well, I know him.
- You continued without me? - Don't panic till you know more.
He admits to the double murder. Signed and sealed.
We took Kåre across...
- Without us? - No need to wake you.
Kåre confirms they did it together.
- He'll see the magistrate at 10. - We'll come along.
- Why? - What about Daddy's murder?
- No, he's still denying that. - I believe him. It wasn't him.
We still need a murderer but we've nailed lvan.
He's looking at life in prison.
- Shall we toast Robert? - Yes, well done.
Magistrate's hearing 10.01, Friday April 20
lvan A Jensen, you've confessed to
planning to rob Else Petersen on Thursday, April 19
with Kåre Melville Hansen.
To procuring the weapon
used in the robbery that killed Else Petersen
and Jakob Christoffersen.
Do you confirm this?
Sure, sure. I... I can...
I'll confirm anything.
I killed Richard III too.
- Are you drunk? - No, no.
No, I'm not pissed. Are we pissed, Robert?
Listen to this...
He knows a dirty little story.
Who was she? A chief constable...
And it turns out that...
I'm sorry, all of you. I won't repeat that story.
I agree.
Remove that man and test him for alcohol.
Sorry, Robert. What a balls-up, eh?
These things always happen to people like us.
How did he get drunk during the interrogation?
Isn't alcohol banned in the remand centre?
But it's not my problem.
Shall we hear the next one?
- This is also a guilty plea? - Yes.
And no new surprises?
Kåre Melville Hansen, you've confessed to two killings?
Yes.
You admit to planning the robbery with lvan A Jensen.
Do you confirm that?
No.
No?
I did it on my own.
Planned it and shot them alone. Ivan's not involved.
Well, then...
I wish you all a pleasant weekend.
Thanks for the inconvenience.
Maybe Robert screwed up but lvan's guilty. Right?
- He is. - Why's Kåre covering for him?
What kind of power has lvan over him?
Look at this.
- What's that? - A sign that lvan scratched.
Kåre changed when he saw it.
I was in lvan's basement.
There was a couch, and an armchair next to it
and a lot of books
about mysticism and hypnotism.
Could lvan perhaps have hypnotised Kåre?
That judge would never go for it.
No... but it's an interesting theory.
To be continued...
