You have a curious ability
to show up just after a murder.
- Why are you here?

Will you tell me who it was?
Madsen, you have seen so much blood.
It is like you seek it out.

It's amphetamine.

Come on.
Roll up your sleeves.

And beautiful people.
And they smile.
Why Arthur?
Why take it out on me?
You are just a small piece.

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.
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.
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.
Why were you there?
The murderer was in
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?
- 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 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?
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.
I love you.
- Maybe we can meet again one day.
- I think not.
- Egon, then go ahead
- Yes.
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.
Really live.
You only see things
in black and white.
What have you gotten out of all this?
But I have to get Ole out of it.
- 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.
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.
- There was blood everywhere.
Let me be.
- 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.
- Because she had hidden it.
- Ole, what had she hidden?
- A ne
- A what? Ole, a what?!
Ole, what was it?
A negative.
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.
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 do not know what it
Nooo
The receipts that felled Gordan,
did you get them from Lisbeth?
No, it was
- Zemich!
- If he exists.
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.
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 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.
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?
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?
- I am, yes.
- About me, I suppose.
- Exactly.
- I've got your brother.
- May I suggest that you call home.
- Is it Arthur?
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.
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?
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
- 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 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?
- 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.
it all away for my sake.
Say hi to mom.
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.
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?
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.
The Cleaning staff think-
