The Killing

Monday, November 3-Tuesday, November 4. Nannas parents identify her body, and details of her sufferings are uncovered. Lund keeps postponing her departure, and tension arises between her and her new partner as they investigate the connection to city hall and a known criminal identified as the driver of the car Nanna was found in. Hartmann is faced with the choice of cooperating with the police or protecting his political future.

Wednesday, November 5-Thursday, November 6: The police investigate the crime scene they have found at Nannas school and suspect her classmates Oliver and Jeppe of wrongdoing. Sarah Lunds fiancé shows up in Copenhagen, and she promises to leave for Sweden without delay. Meanwhile, Hartmann learns that a trusted employee has sent a suspicious email.

Friday, November 7-Saturday, November 8: Lund and Meyer investigate teacher Raman al Kemals actions on the night of the murder. Hartmann learns of foul play at city hall, and his campaign is put under pressure when his opponent reveals Hartmanns ties with the suspect in a TV debate. On the day of Nannas funeral, Lund is finally on her way to Sweden, and the appearance of one particular guest makes Nannas father offer him a ride home.

Sunday, November 9-Monday, November 10. The police locate the place where Nanna was killed, and Rama is charged with the crime. Hartmann is fighting for his political life, but ends up making a tough choice. Meanwhile, Bengt is in a car accident on his way to Sweden, but tries to help Lund from his hospital bed. When the evidence is cast into doubt, Rama is released, but someone has other ideas.

Tuesday, November 11-Wednesday, November 12. Bengt leaves for Stockholm. Lund and Meyer are hindered in their investigation by a secretive boss, but Lund continues inquiries and is dismissed for her sins. Hartmann strikes a deal with higher powers in order to secure his bid for mayor, and a public debate is the scene of a change in political fortunes. Theis is released from prison, new secrets are uncovered about Nannas last months, and in a last bid to forward the investigation, Lund unlocks the door to a new piece in the puzzle.

Sarah and Jan interrogate Troels, whose private information opens a new can of worms.

Troelss political opponent Bremer wastes no time in taking advantage of his discomfort.

Sarah wont get on board when her superiors insist that Nannas murder has been solved.

Lund and Meyer get more than they bargained for when they visit an abandoned warehouse in their search for evidence. Meanwhile, a prime suspect disappears, and Hartmann struggles to get back into the political arena - but is contacted by a journalist whose efforts to dig up dirt have had some success. Theis and Pernille try to move on from the past 18 days events and take their sons to see the new house.

Lund is determined to catch Nannas killer despite being taken off the case, and Hartmann is on a downward spiral - until he receives crucial information. Meanwhile, Pernille and Theis invite friends and family to Antons birthday party - but there is a sinister twist to the evening in store.

Sarah Lund officially joins the investigation into the murders of Anne Dragsholm and soldier Allan Myg Poulsen, who was found butchered in a warehouse. A published video of the captive Dragsholm suggests the assassinations are acts of terrorism, and the police look into links with Islamic extremists. At Parliament the case puts new minister Buchs terrorism legislation in jeopardy when the governments right-wing partners demand a tighter grip on extremism. Prisoner Jens Peter Raben takes matters into his own hands after being denied parole.

The murder of another former soldier, David Grüner, prompts inquiries into his and Rabens army squad and a particular event during the groups Afghanistan mission a few years before. Lund and Strange track down one of the remaining members in a remote Swedish island. Buch is under pressure from above to cave to the right wings demands about banning Islamic organisations, but new information about former minister Monbergs relationship with one of the victims makes him weary of acting too hastily.

Lund demands that the grave of the dead soldier Per K. Møller be dug up, but her theory that the coffin is empty is proven wrong. She is suspended from the investigation and takes time to attend her mothers wedding until developments bring her back into action. Buch brings his assistant Karina Munk back after she resigned, despite permanent secretary Ploughs objections. They pay a visit to former minister Monberg, who has gained consciousness at the hospital, to find out what he knows about the ongoing case.

Jens Peter Raben has been shot by Strange during an escalated situation where Raben seemed to recognize Strange. Raben survives, and Lund finally has the chance to interrogate him. She finds herself investigating her partners past in the military, but also uncovers a soldiers video diary that leads to a new suspect. At the barracks Colonel Jarnvig begins to consider the possibility that Rabens version of events in Afghanistan might be true. And after a week in the job Buch faces forced resignation, but finds help from an unexpected source.

Lund and Strange return from Afghanistan with their findings, though Brix has become convinced of the guilt of officer Bilal, who has run away with Louise Raben as his hostage. Buch has been held overnight by the police, but returns determined to bring down the government he is part of. Secrets are uncovered at the ministry and in the military, revealing a conspiracy to conceal vital information. Lund puts together some pieces of her own, and it comes to a lethal confrontation with the killer.

Following the kidnapping of Robert Zeuthens daughter Emilie, Copenhagen Police put every effort into tracking down the perpetrator and finding the little girl. Meanwhile, the kidnapping has quickly become a hot potato in the election campaign and Prime Minister Kamper must deal with the fallout.

Another failed attempt to capture their man leaves Borch and Lund with a dilemma - should they obey the perpetrators instructions or take action in spite of his directives, thereby risking Emilies life? Further links to an old unresolved police case continue to emerge, shedding new light on the investigation while marring the prime ministers political life.

Police are led to the Jutland region by their investigation. Here, Borch and Lund make an eerie discovery and find themselves in danger. Back at HQ, pressure grows on Brix, as management question his judgment. Prime Minister Kamper hesitates in implementing his decision following doubts about Emilies fate. Ussing is found to have been harbouring a secret.

A suspect is taken in for examination as the police try to find out more about the notebook they discovered, but things go less than smoothly. The prime minister and his close aids become the focus of police attention, as Karen is also found to be hiding a dangerous secret which could prove fatal for the government. Borch and Lunds trip to Jutland begins to have consequences. Robert Zeuthen intensifies the hunt for his daughter, despite coming under heavy pressure from the Zeeland board. Maja takes sides. A witness turns up who may have important information about Emilie.

Its election day and the Prime Minister has everything to gain, as long as Emilies fate remains uncertain. Kamper is still haunted by personal demons, and issues of loyalty from within his own ranks rear their ugly heads once again. Meanwhile, as Lund and Borch start to look ahead, police are led to an undisclosed location in a last ditch attempt to find Emilie before its too late. They are followed by a now dangerously tense Robert Zeuthen. Will the operation succeed in bringing the girl to safety?
