What the hell do you hope to achieve

by shooting at a group of children?

I was sure I wouldn't hit them.

How does it help your cause

that you're branded a terrorist now?

What do you have to say?

It's violence.

Even if it's far away.

Even if it affects

someone we don't know.

- Violence?

- Caused by our oil exploration.

A child...

...in Cambodia, Thailand,

India or Bangladesh, drowns.

Or falls ill.

Because of flooding.

900 million cubic meters?

I've double-checked your info.

Where did you get it?

- Are you employed in the oil industry?

- I can't reveal my identity.

But the quantities are correct,

and I want you to write about them.

- While you're busy shooting more dogs?

- No.

What then?

When are you going to stop?

I'm going to stop

when the deal is annulled.

I can't.

I can't have you visiting me here.

I want you to leave.

I'm sorry.

You're not the type who lies on rooftops

taking shots at people.

You didn't plan for it to go this far.

Unless you stop now, you're going

to help the people you oppose.

Don't you see?

Thanks for the coffee.

So I don't think

you remember what I look like.

- Okay?

- This meeting never took place.

THURSDAY:

Jesper, the interview's off.

Sorry.

We have a visitor. They're waiting

for you in Steffen's office.

Mia. This is Adam Larsen from

the Security and Intelligence Service.

This is Mia Moesgaard

who's been in contact with the suspect.

We need help with our investigation.

Do you recognize this voice?

Why don't you print the documents

I entrusted your paper?

Come forward and we'll talk. I won't

waste my time on it, unless you do.

This isn't your time,

Steffen Husfeldt.

- Look at the clock and do as I say.

- Don't you threaten me.

- Is it him?

- He called you?

- Can you confirm this is the man?

- Yes.

- I'd like to ask you a few questions.

- Sure.

When he got into your car,

could you tell how tall he was?

- Normal height, I guess.

- Normal height.

You've got a Peugeot 306. If his head

was 10 cm from the roof...

...that makes him about 180 cm.

Would you call that normal height?

Sure, 180?

Did you see his face?

No.

He was wearing a hoodie,

so I couldn't see his face.

I knocked several times.

I found that metal thing in your pocket.

You really should remember

to empty your pockets.

I'll drop you off at the airport.

- May I?

- That would be great.

- Look at the clock and do as I say.

- Don't you threaten me.

We filtered out the background noise

and may be on to something.

This church bell.

It's a single-clang profile.

If we compare it with,

say, the Church of our Lady...

...look at the reading.

All church bells have their own distinct

profile. This is a double clang.

We're looking for a single-clang profile

like the one in the conversation.

- How many churches fit that profile?

- In Copenhagen?

I think...

- Hey.

- Hi, it's me.

- Where do you think I am?

- On your way to the airport, I hope.

- I am.

- I can't wait to see you both.

- Me too.

- Have a good trip.

- Kiss the others from me. And thanks.

- Bye.

Forget all about us now and think only

of yourself and your little girl.

- A packed lunch?

- On home-baked rye.

It's Christian's Church on the tape.

We know the time...

...and we've collected over

ten surveillance tapes from the area.

Two tapes show passers-by

talking on the phone.

One shows a man dumping his phone

at the end of Langebrogade. Add sound.

- Look at the clock and do as I say.

- Heavyset, 40-45 years.

Can we get a better view of his face?

Sorry.

Get this material to the media...

...and go to Langebrogade

and find out if anyone's seen anything.

There's been a shooting at Dan Oil.

One dead.

K749 to Kolkata,

please proceed to gate B42.

- Mia Moesgaard?

- Yes.

Michael Smith, the Security

and Intelligence Service. Follow us.

- I have to be on this plane.

- You're detained. Passport, please.

We're conducting

a terrorism investigation. Come along.

Don't touch me.

A bodyguard was killed

and Steen Birger Brask wounded...

...in the shooting at Dan Oil today.

The authorities have a suspect:

This isn't your time.

Look at the clock and do as I say.

The police just released the

surveillance tape and the conversation...

...with the suspect

behind the recent shootings.

The police would like to talk to anyone

who can assist in identifying the man.

The suspect looks Danish,

about 180 cm tall, heavyset...

...about 45 years old

and wears a green parka with a hood.

Rasmus Holm Jensen, 46.

Single-issue activist.

Unknown to us.

Described as intelligent,

shy and polite.

A bodyguard was killed and

Steen Birger Brask was wounded...

...after a shooting

at Dan Oil earlier today.

Rasmus Holm Jensen, 46,

is believed...

...by Head of Intelligence Adam Larsen

to be the man behind the shootings.

The capital is in a state of shock,

and the authorities are on the alert.

A trained geophysicist, since 2003

employed with the GDG...

...the Department of Geological Surveys

for Denmark and Greenland.

Periodically stationed in Nuuk

specializing in oil deposit studies.

For years he's been producing material

for the climate and energy ministry.

Three days ago he came back to Denmark.

He went to see

his 86-year-old demented father.

Then he approached Mia Moesgaard...

...who for personal or political reasons

covers up for him.

I have a little girl waiting for me.

Who'll let her know I'm not coming?

The Indian authorities have suspended

your approval for the time being.

You can't leave Copenhagen.

I know my rights.

I'm going to write about this.

You're being detained as a key witness

in the case against Rasmus Holm Jensen.

You can call these two numbers

around the clock.

Goodbye.

It seems Rasmus Holm Jensen

for several years...

...has been active on the Internet

under the alias Earth.

Since his youth he's been a member

of rifle clubs, first in Holbk...

...and then in Copenhagen

where he won almost all tournaments.

He got the ammo and the weapon

through the Copenhagen Rifle Club.

A super subsonic modified Sabatti rifle.

We know all this about him.

The problem is he's one step

ahead of us. He could be anywhere.

- You've touched down?

- I never left.

I don't believe it!

- The flight got cancelled?

- Intelligence took my passport.

I'm at home.

Meet me at the paper.

- We'll work this out.

- Okay.

Mia.

Hand over your phone.

Go.

There's a sleeping bag for you too,

if you get cold.

It was an accident.

I didn't mean to kill him.

I was on my way

to fetch my little daughter.

I was going to adopt a little girl,

and now someone else will get her.

Those are the rules.

It's your fault. I covered up for you,

and then you chose to kill a man.

What kind of man are you?

If I can save thousands,

maybe hundreds of thousands...

...are my actions wrong?

Are they immoral?

Or should we keep talking

and covering up for politicians...

...and a democracy
