[Mike] Hey.
[sighs]
Why didn't you tell me you
and Ruby were texting?
So you looked in my phone, huh?
[sighs]
Jealous? [sniffs]
-What?
-Are you jealous?
-No.
-Yes, you are.
No, Mike, it's not about that.
But you not telling me about it
is fucking strange.
And you texted with her
while we're speculating pregnancy--
Stop. Stop. Stop. You're speculating.
-Fine, I am. Sure.
-Thank you, 'cause I'm not.
All right.
But you're being shady
about whatever you know.
And what do you think I know?
Tell me!
If Ruby was pregnant,
she must have been with someone.
And you think it's me?
You're being crazy, you know that?

SECRETS WE KEEP
[barking]
Hey.
Yeah, I'm still here
but on my way back to headquarters.
I need all the footage
from around the area.
The theater, the gas station
and the big intersection too.
And I think the riding school.
[coach] Come on, that's great.
Come on, yeah.
Awesome. Good job.
Yeah, that's enough.
Okay. From the top. Half nelson. Come on.
Come on. Come on.
-[cell phone chimes]
-Come on. Come on.
[grunts]
[ominous music playing]
-Mike.
-Hmm?
Come on.
[grunting]
Katarina texted. They found Ruby's bag.
In a bush in Dyrehaven.
[sighs deeply]
That's not good.
Do you know something, Mike?
No, what should I know?
Well, you tell me, Mike.
Anything I should know?
[boy 1] Come here!
-Hey!
-[boy 2] Fuck you!
[boy 1] Don't take my stuff!
Come back. Give it back!
[boy 3] Dude, you can't play basketball.
You're not even tall enough
to ride a roller coaster.
Sit down. Take a look at this.
[sniffs]
[sighs]
Uh… I don't think
I'll send it to the group.
But you should see it.

[ominous music fades]
[Mike] What's up?
Nothing.
[Mike] Why did it take so long
to change?
Can we please go?
[somber choir music playing]
[camera clicking]
[knocking]
[Carl] Anything interesting?
[Aicha] Hmm, not really.
Except for this here.
[Carl] What the hell is that?
[Aicha] Don't know.
Looks like parallel parking or something.
[Aicha sighs]
SPA HOTEL SKODBORG
[Aicha] A bit fancy on her allowance, huh?
[somber choir music continues]
[somber choir music fades]
[phone ringing]
Aicha Petersen, North Zealand Police.
I'm looking for a missing woman.
Do you recognize her?
No, never seen her before.
Um… could I talk to your coworkers?
-I don't know. Never seen her.
-Don't recognize her at all?
Mm-mm. No. Anton? Did you see her?
-Yeah. I've seen her before.
-[Aicha] Sure about that?
Yeah, I waited on her a couple times.
Coffee and brunch.
-Okay. Who, uh… did she come alone or…?
-No, she came with a man.
But it was a while ago.
June, I think. Maybe July.
-Something like that.
-Okay, how did the man look?
[Anton] Pretty average.
But, uh… He had a Porsche Taycan Turbo.
That whip's fly as hell.
Please check how many of that model
are registered in the area.
Yeah, thanks. Bye.

[Angel in Tagalog]
…on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses.
[Ona in Tagalog]
Why aren't the police there yet
with an investigation team or their K-9s?
They'd have found her by now
if it had been a young Danish woman.
[Darna] Everyone's faces look downcast.
Let's think positively.
Maybe she met someone else.
I don't believe Ruby met someone.
She would always tell us
how much she missed Yuan.
-I agree. She'd always tell us about it.
-Right?
You know, everything changes
when a woman goes abroad.
Look at me. I was about to get married
when I met John.
That was hard.
[women] Hmm.
Why don't we organize
a search party ourselves?
We need to find Ruby.
I don't know how to do it,
but let's find a way. I need your help.
-You know, Angel is right.
-Hmm.
You know what? We need to show them
that we have not forgotten Ruby.
[Kim] If we don't show that we're actively
searching for her, it will be a cold case.
-[Darna] Yeah, true.
-Kim is right.
[Darna] Let's ask John to contact
the Friendship Association.
They can help us a great deal.
[together] Yeah.
[birds chirping]
-[glasses clink]
-Oh, shh.
-She's sleeping.
-Oh, sorry.
[Cecilie] Oh, thanks.
I wanted to let you know we're having
a search party for Ruby tomorrow.
Something is wrong. I know it, Cecilie.
[inhales deeply] Yeah.
Could I have tomorrow off to plan it?
I can work this weekend instead.
That won't be necessary.
Of course you can.
And I'll come and help.
[ominous music playing]
[breathes shakily]
[man 1 in video] Get a fucking grip,
you fucking whore, come on.
[woman] Get off me!
-I'll fucking screw you fucking whore!
-[men speaking indistinctly]
[man 2] Tampons?
A condom? You whore. Come on.
-[woman] Ow.
-[man 2] Fucking hell.
Oh, are these drugs?
-Are you fucked up?
-[woman screams]
-[man 2] Get your shit together.
-[door opens]
Good night, sweetie.
Hey. There are no phones in here.
You know that.
Is Angel here yet?
[inhales deeply] Not yet.
Can you please ask her
to come here when she comes home?
But it's her day off, okay?
You'll see her tomorrow.
She shouldn't be
tucking you in every night.
We have her for Vera, you know?
Hmm.
-Want Mommy to lie with you?
-You don't have to.
'Kay.
Sleep tight.
[door closes]
[mysterious music playing]
[panting]
[clicking]
[Aicha] That's all you got for me?
[man] Afraid so.
-And there's not… nothing we can do?
-Mm-mm.
No other angles, or…
-Man, you can't see shit.
-Right.
-[woman] Update on the car.
-Yeah?
Only four of this model in all of Zealand.
Two in the area.
And there's something else interesting.
One of the owners was convicted of rape.
Mike Jensen. Or Winther-Jensen now.
Winther-Jensen?
[somber music playing]
-[Aicha] Convicted of rape?
-[woman] 23 years ago, but yeah.
[birds chirping]
[Viggo] Angel?
I wet the bed on accident.
Well, I'll come and help you. Okay?
[somber music continues]
[somber music fades]
-[Cecilie] See you, hon.
-[Viggo] Bye. See you.
[school bell rings]
[honking]
You got drop-off duty today?
I mean, Angel's busy with preparations.
They've organized a search for Ruby
this afternoon. Her and the girls.
What? For real? Wow.
I didn't hear about this.
Uh… are the police a part of this, or…
-No, it's just them.
-[horn honks]
Yeah, yeah, one second, all right?
[sighs] I think it's fucking scary,
this whole bag thing, right?
And there I was, outraged that she ran off
at the start of the school year.
-I'm so ashamed about it.
-Yeah, but you couldn't have known.
-I know--
-[honking]
Dude, can we just get
a second here, asshole?
[annoyed sigh]
But you don't think
they'll find something, do you?
If there was something there, some jogger
would've seen it already, right?
Or some dog walker or something?
I think I'll go there to help out.
-With the search. Yeah.
-You will?
-Then I'll come as well.
-[honking]
-Okay. Yeah.
-Fab.
[honking]
[somber chorus music playing]
[scoffs]
Holy shit, man.
We've got a job to do ♪
And we will get to you ♪
[Darna] Attention, everyone!
Every group's area is marked on the map
which Angel is handing out now.
And we have some here
so you can hand it to people you meet.
-And hang in your neighborhood.
-[group murmuring]
[Darna] Finally, if you find anything
of interest, do not touch.
Just call John's cell phone immediately.
[whispers] I thought you said
the police weren't a part of this.
No, I'm pretty sure they're not, Kat.
I think she's just here
to see who shows up.
[Cecilie sighs]
I've read that some killers are turned on
by revisiting the scene of the crime.
-God, Katarina!
-[laughs awkwardly]
-Really!
-I'm sorry. Sorry, sorry.
-I get inappropriate when I'm nervous.
-Let's listen, okay?
Thank you.
[indistinct chatter]
[Aicha] We meet again.
I understand clergy privilege. I get that.
And I know
you're just protecting Ruby, but…
Can we slow down a sec?
It feels like the more we dig,
the more it looks like a crime.
[sighs]
Ruby did come to me.
[somber music playing]
She had a feeling
she was pregnant, probably.
But did she mention a name?
Like who's the father, or…
She told me she had been raped.
[somber music intensifies]
She, uh, mentioned abortion.
But, you know, with her faith,
that really wasn't an option for her.
[Ruby whispers indistinctly]
[priest] I asked if she was certain
there was no other way forward.
So I… uh… suggested that she talk to him.
You wanted her to go speak
to the man who raped her?
[Ruby sobs] I really don't know.
[Aicha] Ruby was pregnant.
And it was a result of being raped.
She told her priest, who, uh…
advises her to talk to the father.
Our best bet right now
is Mike Winther-Jensen.
Ruby leaves the Hoffmann villa
after Katarina Hoffmann goes to bed.
Goes to Mike Winther-Jensen,
tells him that she's pregnant.
He panics, kills her,
then dumps the bag later
so it appears an assault happened.

[Carl] Why does he kill her?
Well, he's got a wife and kids, right?
She won't get an abortion.
It could ruin his life.
Maybe she threatens him too.
Maybe she wanted to report that rape
to the police that afternoon.
It could ruin his career.
-Friendships.
-Lawyer, you say?
[Aicha] Yeah. He's an M&A partner
in a big law firm.
[ominous music playing]
-[Carl] And you spoke to the wife?
-[Aicha] Yeah.
[Aicha] She was the first to say
Ruby might be pregnant.
[ominous music continues]
-[Kat] What is it?
-[Cecilie] I don't know if…
I found some text messages
from Ruby in Mike's phone.
[gasps]
-Why didn't you say anything?
-Oh, I don't know. I just…
You think they had a thing?
No, I don't know.
You know, I check all of Rasmus's messages
just to be sure.
-You do?
-Yeah, totally.
And I always hire the most unattractive
au pair girls I can find.
-Oh, Kat!
-Well, I do.
Look, most of these foreigners
are here to find a man,
so they don't have to go back home.
You know it's true.
Hon.
-Go speak to her again.
-Yeah.
Tell her you got some more questions.
See if you can get her to say
what her husband did that evening.
[Carl] We'll see if it matches his story
when you talk to him later.
Hey. I'm driving home. Are you coming?
Um, no, I think
I will stay with my friends.
[Cecilie] Okay.
-See you at home.
-[Angel] See you.
And please say hi to Mike.
He was always so nice to Ruby.
Yes, of course.
[Cecilie] Bye.
Another round, girls?
-[Angel in Tagalog] I'm out of money.
-Me too.
You're all really lame.
[Kim in English] Cheer up!
[in Tagalog] Isn't it a good thing
that we didn't find anything today?
Right, Angel?
Here you go, poor people.
[in English] My treat.
-Hmm.
-[woman] Thanks.

[Ruby whispers] Angel.
[sobbing]
[indistinct whisper]
[sighs]
[indistinct chatter]
[school bell rings]
[ominous music playing]
[phone ringing]
This is Cecilie.
Hi, Cecilie, this is Aicha.
Do you have time to meet me real quick?
I have a few more questions.
Um… yeah, that's fine.
Yeah. Where are you?
[Aicha] So Ruby had dinner
with you, Angel, Oscar, and Viggo?
-[Cecilie] Yes.
-Yeah.
[Aicha] And Katarina Hoffmann,
she, uh… wasn't there. She came later.
Yeah, she came right after…
right after dinner.
Your husband?
No, my husband wasn't there.
He's very busy, so…
So he came home when?
[clicks tongue]
Uh… like much later. A bit later.
Specifically when?
Well, Mike works late
pretty much all the time, so…
So I'll just speak to his employer
to confirm he was there. No problem.
Yeah.
[scoffs]
Sorry.
Are you here about his record?
[inhales deeply]
Mike's from a totally different world.
He didn't know his father,
and his mother drank.
He hung out
with some truly frightful friends.
And that night
they all took some kind of stuff.
Who knows why.
He admitted it all in court.
And he turned his life around completely.
He was young.
And he got his diploma and studied law.
It was a wake-up call for him.
-So it was good he raped that woman?
-No. Did I say that?
I'm giving you the reason Mike went free.
-And--
-I'm trying to find out when he got home.
And please be precise.
Yeah, uh… Yeah, like around…
The others left,
and half an hour later he was there.
[sighs]
Mike was seen
with Ruby at Skodsborg Spa Hotel.
Once or twice over the summer.
[somber choir music playing]
But you say he was back
within about 30 minutes.
Yeah.
Sorry that I don't have any information.
[Aicha] Thanks.
[somber choir music intensifies]
-[door opens]
-[Mike] Hi!
[door beeps]
[somber chorus music fades]
[Mike] What's up?
[Mike] You know how long
those wrestling matches can be.
You have to watch
a million other kids before Viggo.
So, yeah.
Ruby and I, we sit there and chat.
She tells me she wants a driver's license.
Lessons are expensive.
So we practice. We drive around.
Had a coffee at Skodsborg. That's all.
-That's all, huh?
-Yeah.
Viggo knew. Oscar.
I think even Angel knew.
Where were you that night
Ruby went missing?
Why are you asking that?
Because I took a pill.
I don't know where you were
or when you came home.
You never know, do you?
-Tell me where you were, plain and simple.
-What are you asking, Cecilie?
I'm just asking where you were
the night when Ruby went missing.
You're accusing me
of doing something to Ruby. Right?
-So spit it out!
-Where were you, Mike? Answer me!
-You're asking if I raped Ruby, right?
-You've done it before.
[ominous music playing]
[scoffs]
Sorry.
Sorry.
[clicks tongue]
I can't believe you'd say that.
[scoffs] I was at work.
[Mike] I'll find somewhere else to sleep.
[breathing heavily]
[grunts]
[sighs]
[clears throat]
[door closes]
[sighs]
[phone ringing]
-Aicha here.
-[woman] Aicha.
A floater was just found.
We think it's the au pair.
-Where?
-Taarbæk Marina.
Okay. Coming.
[tense music playing]
[siren wailing]
-[policeman] By the green boat.
-Yeah.
