- My name is Rose. - I'm Ricco.
- Ricco was taking care of Sara when she died. - She was given got a lot of medicine.
I saw what it did to her. She was so tormented.
- Hello. Nina Storm. - The new girl in class?
They found traces of Lidocaine. Whoever did it injected it between her toes.
- Then it's murder. - What are you doing here?
I'm here with clothes for Sara.
- Damn. - You do not get anything.
- But your ex-wife does? - What has she to do with it?
I love you and I sold everything we own to get you home.
And you don't even dare tell me. You're a fucking coward!
She was killed in the same manner as Sara.
Why can't I see her? Let me go!
- Is that your mum? - She's dead!
Should we go and have some juice?
Good that you came so quickly. It looked like a heart attack-
- But even this patient has a needle mark between the toes.
- Did she not resist? - She was paralysed.
- Have you found anything else? - No.
Can not you get her to shut up? She's screaming like hell.
She's just lost her daughter.
You're welcome. Was it good?
- Yes. - What's your name?
- Benjamin. - The older brother?
- What's your name? - Alberte.
Hello?
- Hi. - Hi.
- What are you doing? - I'm heading home.
- I can give you a lift. - Great.
Hey, kids. Where's your mum?
I gave them some juice. Their mother is inside.
- Where have you been? - At work.
- What took you so long? - I only heard about it now.
They say that someone gave her a shot. Our little girl is dead.
She's dead.
Stop speeding. Ricco!
Let me out, Ricco. Let me out now!
Forgive the unforgivable ...
I love you. Your Bo.
Bo?
- Hi. - Hi. Has something happened?
- No. I just wanted to come home. - It's the middle of the night.
I know you have a lot to think about. Come here.
And I know that you're pregnant.
I got a lift home, but he drove so fast.
I was scared shitless. I know it's idiotic-
- Because I'm going to have an abortion, but I felt I wanted to protect the child.
Maybe it's a really good person in there.
Don't think of it like a person now.
Think of it as a tiny seed.
You will probably be a wonderful mother someday. But you're only 20 years old-
-and on the way to Chicago.
Talk with Anne. She can help you.
Come here.
Don't tell Dad. He thinks I'm so irresponsible.
- Hello. - You're late.
Those two are getting nowhere.
- The coroner left. - Tell me what he said.
- What do we know about Marie here? - She's 14 years old.
She was in a car accident a year ago and became paralysed.
- She had a brain injury. - A vegetable then?
You could say that. She was set to be transferred to Silkeborg.
- Both died of a Lidocaine overdose? - Yes.
- Any other coincidences? - On the contrary.
The MO was very different and there is a large age difference.
Sarah died at 14, and Marie at 20
- It must be the same killer. - Yes.
It's not anybody from the closed ward.
We must talk to the staff. Who had access to both departments?
Maybe it's someone who gets off on passivity. He gives them a syringe-
- They go into cardiac arrest and he can do what he wants.
He might get turned on by girls who are completely still.
- They didn't find any semen. - It's someone who gets turned on by power.
- A little or big shit. - There are many like that.
Are there other possible motives?
Between 1970 and 2006 1056 people were killed in Europe-
-by caregivers.
This is why I hate hospitals. You can die there.
It could be something sexual or for the thrill of it.
Or what they call misguided mercy.
- I think that's it. - Must it be misplaced?
The girls had a terrible life.
Someone thought they deserved to have peace.
We have to think of a name for the hospital killer.
- Sandman. - Or Death Angel.
The scythe-doctor?
Are you going to scare a lot of old people in the hospital?
Ask family members if they suspect one of the staff.
I've been trying to get hold of Bo for days.
Why doesn't he answer the phone? Where is he?
I don't know where he is. We don't talk to each other.
I need him. Whatever the hell you've done you need to apologise to him.
Can you move about freely between all departments?
But you weren't in the children's ward last night?
No, I was just on the closed ward and in the basement.
- Then I have nothing more to ask. - Okay.
By the way I was in the children's ward the other day.
I saw Ricco, the other intern, in Marie's room then.
- What was he doing there? - He was just standing and watching.
I don't understand.
So you don't know Marie?
- I don't know who she is. - Are you sure?
- That's her. - I don't recognise her.
- Have you ever seen her? - No.
That's strange. You've attended to her many times.
- I look after so many of them. - You were with her the day before yesterday.
Maybe I was inside and said hi. I get around the entire hospital.
You're often here.
You never go out on weekends and drink beer and check out women?
- Yes. - No. You just work weekends.
You manage to satisfy all your needs at work?
It's just a bit of fun. You get it, right?
Can you give shots?
- You're hesitating - Trainees aren't allowed to do it.
But you've done it?
I help the nurses with a little of everything.
We'll stop here. We'll contact you if there's anything.
- Okay. - My colleague will accompany you out.
Don't interrupt me in the middle of an interview!
And I want sugar in my coffee!
Hi. My name is Dicte Svendsen and I'm a journalist.
Can I ask some questions about Marie and the people who took care of her?
Are you from the hospital?
There was a gymnastics display with Mikala's best friend.
They look lovely.
This is the last picture of her.
From her 14th birthday which we celebrated in the hospital.
- You must have known the staff well. - Yes.
- Were any of them close to her? - They mostly talked with us.
- This must be hard for you. - Of course.
But honestly, I feel like I lost my daughter
-a year ago in the accident.
- And she would never get better. - It's not true.
- She was feeling better recently. - They couldn't do anything more for her.
- Yes, they could. - Hi, my name is Dicte.
- Jeanette. - She's a journalist. It was she ...
- Are you a journalist? - Yes, I want to write about it here.
Here is everything we know about it.
Medical records and all communication with the hospital.
They stopped after the first week.
It felt as if she were a nuisance to them.
But a German doctor said she could regain some mobility.
- The chance was one percent. - But there was a chance!
Did it seem as though the staff wanted to get rid of Marie?
Yes, they didn't know what to do with her.
- Have you had any contact with the psych ward? - She wasn't crazy.
They sent me to a psychiatrist. I was told I was a nuisance.
I asked too many questions. If you criticise the system-
-they shut you up with pills.
- Who were you talking to? - Professor Poul Berg.
- Chief Poul Berg? - Him.
- Poul Berg? - Yes.
I just want to ask if it's true-
-that you treated Marie Brix's mother?
What did you say?
Reluctantly. So she met you and you thought she should be medicated.
- Who are you? - Dicte Svendsen, a journalist.
Jeanette asked me to write about the case.
I would of course like to have your comments.
I was asked to talk to her.
She found it hard to accept that her daughter was terminally ill.
She drove the staff crazy.
- Did the staff contact you? - No, it was her husband Tom Brix.
- Why did he do it? - She was obsessed with her daughter.
Such things affect the family. He was almost alone with two small children.
It's common for a mother to spend all her time in the hospital-
while the father takes care of the home.
Jeanette thought there was a chance that Marie could get better.
It would have been better for everyone if she died in the accident.
She didn't have a good life.
- Was it the same with Sara? - Which Sara?
Sara Lindfeldt who died on the closed ward.
Was her life not worth living?
She was one of the few who we can't help.
So I say yes. She had a bad life, but I do not get involved.
You never helped any patient in the hospital to die?
- It happens. - How does it happen?
The staff and the families can agree on that.
Old people get the right morphine towards the end.
Does it happen that you do it without the family's approval?
No. But when you hear the cardiac arrest alarm-
- You can choose whether you walk or run.
- And when do you walk? - When they're in the terminal stage.
The chief physician of the psych ward had been in contact with both girls.
Could he have wanted to end their suffering?
A physician who believes he's God? There are a few of those.
- The taxi is here. - I'm coming.
- Hey, Dicte. - Damn, you look great. - Thanks.
Are you going to pick someone up?
Did you check the days when I'm going away again?
- Yes, but then I'm on the job traveling. - What the hell do we do?
- We have to get an au pair or something. - Where would she sleep?
- Between us. - Right.
- I have to go. - I love you. Enjoy it.
- Good luck down there. - Thanks.
- Do you want coffee? - Yes thank you.
What's up?
Can not you try to be a little kinder to Rose?
She's having a hard time.
Does the have to choose between two concerts on the same day?
- Can't you just try? - Why don't we talk about Bo?
He smacked you. What's going on?
He wrote a very long letter saying that he would never do it again.
He's going to go see a psychologist.
It's been hell since he came home.
He won't talk to me, but confides in Eva.
And now he has smacked me.
I can find no good reason to stay with him.
Would you leave him if he was sick?
- Obviously not. - Consider him as a patient.
- Stay by his side. - I've tried.
Should I stay with him?
You have promised to love each other in sickness and in health.
Hi, should we continue our conversation from yesterday?
I've talked with some of the nurses you mentioned.
They are both young and a bit older than you.
A hottie like you knows that age doesn't mean anything.
So you like to have sex with older women.
Yes.
They said you don't sleep with them, so it's probably not about sex.
I think it's about the access card to the medical supplies.
They usually lend it you because you have such severe migraines.
But I do not think you're getting painkillers.
Are you bored? Do you lack excitement?
Do you go around and give patients all they need? Or is it something sexual?
- Can you do that? - And can you do this?
- Have you been in my locker? - Yes, and it doesn't look good.
If I call now you will be arrested for the murder of two girls.
- I'm innocent. - So why do you have this?
Do you sell it? Then you are also done here.
It's for myself, damn it.
I'm trying to quit.
Were you on this the night you sat with Marie?
Yes, I needed a quiet place to be.
Were you high even when you sat with Sara? Were you?
We'll keep in touch.
- One more time? - Yes.
Okay. One more time.
- Hi Mum. - Hi. I wanted to see if everything was OK.
I feel good.
Right. The world's finest ticket to Chicago.
Sweetheart. So you've made a decision?
I have an appointment tomorrow with Anne.
Okay. Should I come?
It's the right decision. Isn't it?
Soon it'll be over and you'll be heading out into the wide world-
-with a blood alcohol level of 4.6.
What are you going to do now?
Ask if you want to come home and eat. But you probably don't.
- Are you sure? - Sure. Have a good time.
Hi.
- What are you doing here? - I've called, but you don't answer.
I need to talk with you.
- Did you get my letter? - Yes.
- What do you think then? - I don't know what to say.
- I won't accept you hitting me. - Obviously not.
Should I move out?
I don't know. But I need a break from you.
I hope we can resolve this.
- I'm sleeping in Dad's. - No, I can sleep at work.
No, it's fine.
So it's a little bit of adrenaline.
- What's happening? - Ricco is a drug addict.
He steals the drugs in the hospital.
He was out taking drugs when Sara was murdered.
That doesn't change anything.
He said he was in the toilet at 2pm.
Therefore, we established it as the time of the murder.
But he was out taking drugs at 4pm.
That's when visiting time begins. There may be something to go on.
- We'll talk with the relatives. - We've already done so.
There's only one we did not get. Mark Vestergård.
He is enrolled as visiting friend with the Red Cross.
But the Red Cross doesn't have that name.
There are only three people in the whole of Denmark called Mark Vestergaard.
Two of them are minors, and the third has an alibi.
So we're looking for a man with a false name. Good.
Do we have a description?
Jonas talked to the ward sister.
Average build, probably with a beard.
About 40, dark raincoat, jogging pants-
- And a red cap, probably Hummel brand.
Like half of all Danish men on a bad day.
If it's someone from outside then probably the Lidocaine came from outside.
It might have been stolen. We'll check tomorrow.
Claus is on it.
Here is a list of all burglaries of doctor's houses.
Also dentist's. They have it too.
Hey, it's Jonas from the crime squad. I want a list of-
- all burglaries of dentists' offices in central and northern Jutland.
- Want some milk? - No thanks.
- Is it okay if I ...? - Sure.
Sara's illness must have affected you.
I resigned from work.
I was so lonely. Her father left when she was two years old.
- I took care of her alone. - And you never gave up hope?
Never.
So you never thought it would be good if she managed to end her life?
No. Never.
Of course not.
- Are you going to travel? - No.
Well, I'm thinking of a group trip.
How long is it since you were out traveling?
We were in Mallorca when Sara was eight.
It was amazing.
- Take one if you want. - No, I'm not so good at smoking.
- Despite the fact that I practise. - Wish I could say the same.
- What can I do for you? - Did you know Sara Lindfeldt?
A young woman who died on the psych ward. Just like Marie.
I read about her of course, but I didn't know her.
Maybe you knew her mother from some support group or something?
Honestly, I wouldn't had time for that kind of group.
I understand that you handled everything. Jeanette didn't help.
Have you ever had the urge to ignore everything?
- No. - Now then?
It must somehow be a great relief.
A relief?
Now you are free from fear, uncertainty and all the hard work.
Are you suggesting that I should be glad my daughter's dead?
You obviously have no children yourself.
- Nina? - What the hell are you doing here, Dicte?
- I want to ask one thing. - I can't tell you any more.
- Come on. There's just one thing. - Did you hassle Wagner when he was on the toilet?
Only if he went to the ladies'. Did you meet the parents?
- Yes. And? - Do they have an alibi?
Sara's mother was with her sister in Odense.
Jeanette was at home with the children and Tom was working in a restaurant.
- Are you absolutely sure? - Of course.
Stop coming here.
Client-patient privilege. I won't say anything to your father.
I'll examine you and then book a time.
How far along do you think you are?
I was with a guy a month ago.
The foetus appears to be four and a half months. Did you not notice anything?
- No. - Your period must have stopped.
It's always been really irregular. I have had bleeding.
Yes... There was no menstrual bleeding.
This means that you can't get an abortion.
After more than 12 weeks gone you must apply for a permit.
And it will only be granted if the child is sick. But your child looks healthy.
- My child? - Take a look at her.
It's absolutely amazing.
- Thank you for letting me be here. - You can stay as long as you want.
Need help to get your stuff?
I can't think about ending this.
Sometimes you're forced to move on.
But should I go ahead? I don't know.
- What he did is unforgivable. - Yes, but... I don't know.
Where are you going?
- Thanks for today, Bo. - Thanks. See you.
Bo, our ...
Bo?
- Hello, Christian. - Now you listen.
Dicte lives with me and I know why.
- Who ar you? - Dicte's father.
If you hit her again, you will hear from me.
She deserves someone better than you. I've always thought this.
Toby's Travel. What can I help you with?
Can you tell us a little about your group trips?
- Have you seen this man? - No.
Have you seen him?
I'm from the police. Have you seen this man?
No. Unfortunately.
- Have you seen this hat? - Often.
- But I don't think it's him. - Why not?
Because he's a child.
- Hello. - Do you want a lift?
- I'll take the bus. - I'll drive you.
- Thanks for the lift. - It was nothing.
I have something of yours. Thanks for the loan.
Did you meet Tom when were outside smoking?
- Tom Brix? - What's this about?
You're under arrest for the murder of Sara Lindfeldt. You must come with us.
What's going on?
- I have to go with them. - Tom ...
You and Tom decided to make a swap deal.
I remember when I met you outside the hospital.
You were nervous because you were going to see Marie.
Lisbeth, I'd never let my daughter suffer so.
She didn't want to go on living anymore.
But no one wanted to let her let go.
We're interrogating Brix and Lisbeth Lindfeldt tomorrow.
When did you discover the connection?
When I found the cap I realised that they swapped murders with one another.
- Do you have a spare moment? - Yes. Come in.
That's enough.
- It's about Nina. - Yes. How is it going?
She's a little rusty and needs to be trained.
But I understood that she was married to Wagner.
Yes, she was.
And she left. There were a lot of stories about her.
I can't believe you would dare.
- Hi Mum. - Hello friend.
- How are things? - I have to tell you something.
Given the day I've had I hope it's something great.
- You're going to be a grandmother. - What did you say?
- I'm going to have the baby. - You didn't go to see Anne?
I'm eighteen weeks gone. It's too late for an abortion.
But it's okay.
- Now we toast. She has ... - Yes, yes ...
- Let me show you something. - Okay.
- Torsten. - Yes. Who the hell is the father?
- I don't know. - Did you know about this?
- Not that she was so far gone. - Can she not use contraception?
- You're one to talk?! - Look here.
- Oops! Oh my God! - It's a girl.
Darling.
My little girl will have a little girl.
Torsten, you'll be a grandfather.
I need something to drink.
Look at the little head.
- Careful with the pictures. Cheers, darling. - Cheers.
- Grandfather ... - Yes.
Sitting and drinking.
Hi.
I will too.
- I'm going to be a grandmother. - What?
What are you saying? Is Rose...?
Congratulations.
We have vowed to love each other in sickness and in health.
- You deserve someone better. - I wasn't ready.
I forgive you, even if I think that you're a real idiot.
Sometimes you have to.
- You don't know everything. - Yes I do.
You wrote the world's longest letter.
I know you feel bloody awful now, but now we go on.
I slept with Eva.
