Is she asleep?
For now.

Is it you, Sofie?
Andreas, what are you doing?
It's her again.
Just come inside.
COUNTING TO ONE, COUNTING TO TWO I WONDER IF HIS FIRST SON IS SLEEPING TOO
HIDE AND SEEK
POLICE WITHOUT LEADS, DAUGHTER HEARTBROKEN
Jon, please wake up.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
I need to change his catheter.
Do you mind waiting outside?
Feel free to go home.
We'll call if there are any developments.
Thank you.
- What? Oh. - You forgot it again.
Sorry.
You're seeing Esther after school, right?
Could you please not comment on all my Insta pictures?
- I don't do that. - You do.
Not all of them.
You wrote "you look lovely" on all of them.
- But I think you do. Is that not allowed? - No.
Right. I'll stop, then.
- See you. - See you.
- Wait, take this. - No, I don't want it.
- Take it anyway. - No!
Love you.
I was nearby, and I--
You were nearby?
And I just wanted to
ask how the investigation is going.
Well, it's going fine.
I'm on my way there now, so...
The news says you have no leads.
Don't they always write that though?
Yeah. But have you got anything?
Foldager asked us to set up a task force.
And who's leading it?
Me and Skovbjerg.
- Skovbjerg? - Young guy.
- Very young? - Yes.
- But he's actually okay. - Right.
What... did you have in mind?
I...
I'll be here for a while,
so if... there's anything I can
do to help, just let me know.
Aren't you supposed to be on leave?
I am. But if need be, I'd like to help. Just give me a call.
Okay? Say hi to Le for me.
MADSEN, EX-HUSBAND JAKOB HØJER, BOYFRIEND
NEXT DOOR/CRIME SCENE
The forensic report is in.
No foreign DNA on the body.
Only sign of struggle was in the kitchen, and the blood was the victim's.
What about the CCTV from the bus?
It was out of order.
And her digital presence, did we comb through that?
No. We only just now got full access.
Who are you?
Sebastian Heydari, Western Copenhagen Police.
- I'm here with the Emma Holst case files. - Take a seat.
The house next to Zara's has been vacant for three months.
The owner lives in Malaga.
The neighbors haven't seen or heard anything.
Didn't two witnesses see a van?
Yes. They thought it was builders working next door.
Shouldn't we check the remaining dash cams, then?
No, listen. No. It's 00-49.
That's what I just said.
I'll do that.
- Thanks. - This is the third time I'm calling.
If I have to call one more...
No. Don't bother.
I can't work this case with Skovbjerg.
We need someone more experienced.
Skovbjerg is our best bet. Or Tolnov.
She's just closed another homicide.
I know Hess isn't much of a team player.
And he works for Europol.
He suggested it himself.
He says he's available.
He's an excellent detective.
And he can run a task force.
You've teamed up before?
Yeah.
I'll think about it.
Foldager speaking.
Good morning, everyone. Welcome to morning roll call...
- Hi, Signe. - Thanks for letting me borrow this.
Wasn't the job interview today?
Canceled.
No.
I brought croissants. Do you have time for coffee?
- I'm not in until later. - Nice.
Thor, breakfast!
Isn't it time to get up?
First two classes are canceled.
- All under control. - Leave him be, Mom.
- But you're coming to Molly's game later? - Yeah.
- Hi, Molly. - Hi.
- Mom, I'm off. - Don't forget your packed lunch.
Mom...
You should be happy that your mom wants to make you lunch.
There.
Bye, honey!
At least I didn't mention her cropped top.
That's something.
I was worried about you the other day.
I'm okay.
It's just
the case and Emma's...
- It's just a lot. - I get that.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to focus on something else?
Yeah. And I will.
The bank is also putting pressure on me.
What are they saying?
Obviously, I have to sell the house.
And Michael needs his share.
If I want a decent price for it, I have to repair things and repaint.
What about Emma's room?
I have to get started.
Let me know if you need anything.
The police have yet to comment,
but there are rumors that it might be the same killer
who murdered high school student Emma Holst two years ago.
This is partly because of the stalking of Zara Solak leading up to her death,
which Emma Holst was also subjected to.
But when we asked Chief of Homicide Foldager for a comment...
If it were linked to Emma's case, the police would've contacted you.
This is pure speculation.
Yes, you're right.
Do you have a minute?
- Have you checked your email? - No, I was at a meeting. Why?
Have a seat.
This was sent to everyone in the company.
There's some text too.
"Counting to three and four is no fight."
"Andreas screws around
while his kid is out of sight."
Must be that stalker, right?
Did everyone receive it?
You should probably report it to the police.
I've already done that. Multiple times.
They don't do shit.
Perhaps you should go home.
And get this sorted out.
It's affecting my personal life.
I'm not letting it affect my work too.
All right. I'll send out an email saying it's a malicious prank.
Let's hope people will forget it soon.
Thanks. Thank you, Carsten.

COUNTING TO SIX, COUNTING TO SEVEN,
ANDREAS WHORES AROUND MAKING BABIES WITH A THIEF
I've had enough of this.
She won't let me see Lukas, and now she's spying on you and the kids.
Can't we just ignore her?
Honey, pack your things and go to your parents' cottage.
- But the kids are asleep. - Just hurry up.
Okay. I'll leave once they're awake.
Stun gun burns, zip tie marks on wrists and ankles, tape on mouth.
Abrasions indicate she was dragged down a staircase.
Cause of death is a blow to the skull, likely from a hammer or an axe.
Have you settled in?
Unusual case, not least for its parallels with Emma Holst,
so I've asked Mark Hess from Europol to lead the investigation.
I believe most of you know him.
Thanks. I'm up to speed on most of it, so do we have any news?
Naia... NC3?
Both the ex-husband and Zara's lover,
Jakob Højer, have alibis.
Do they have the strongest motives?
We've reviewed all texts--
Both men were emotionally hurt by Zara,
but GPS confirms their alibis.
We're checking everyone Zara was in contact with on Tinder.
We had the same theory with Emma Holst.
Jealousy, misogyny, abuse of women.
Nine times out of ten, the victim and killer know each other.
And the stalking itself was carried out in two phases.
First, extreme surveillance with photos and videos.
And finally, a counting rhyme.
We're trying to find surveillance tapes
from the places where the videos were made.
The stalker sent this to Zara with a blocked caller ID.
How much know-how is needed to cover the digital trail
of these emails and videos?
Not much. Just watch a few tutorials on YouTube.
Right, so, Emma Holst...
She was stalked.
Though not to the same extent as Zara. And the murders are not similar.
Zara's murder seems staged.
She was placed in a nest, so we need to figure out what that means.
With Emma, it seems that the killer acted in a fit of rage.
Both women received this.
A counting rhyme.
So I want us to go through all reports of stalking
received by the police within the past two years, since Emma's murder.
But that's several thousand reports.
Yes, it is.
We'll check if other women got something similar, starting in Copenhagen.
Yes, we'll do that.
Yes, and keep in mind that the media's speculating,
so I've promised Command to keep a very low profile regarding Emma Holst.
We just barely avoided a formal complaint.
The public mustn't know that we're looking for a link.
Understood.
- What's your plan? - To talk to Emma's family.
Thulin? You're with Hess.
The parents should take some responsibility.
Why not just talk to the students?
They won't hand in their phones willingly.
Define "willingly."
Bo, just so you know,
we've posted dates for the introductory program on Instagram.
We're hoping for a big turnout. Your talk is first.
I'd better come up with something to lure the young into the pen, then.
"Into the pen"? How old are you again, Bo?
Old enough.
Listen, Marie.
Thor hasn't come in.
His classes don't start until noon.
No. 3B started at 8:15.
I'll talk to him.
I know it's tough.
He's struggling now that it's being brought up again.
We really want to help him,
but... he's risking a full curriculum exam.
Anders, excuse me.
Speaking.
When?
Just a second.
The police want to talk to me.
I have to go.
- When will you be back? - Don't know.
Please take a look at these photos.
Yes.
See if you recognize any of them.
I have seen her on the news, of course.
But...
We would like to know if any of these people might have known
or had some connection to Emma.
This guy, for instance.
Could Emma have met him on a night out or at her school...
I don't think I recognize any of them.
But I didn't know everyone Emma knew, of course.
She was very social and outgoing, so...
Is it true that Zara Solak was stalked in the same way Emma was?
We don't know that.
But it could be the same killer?
I'm afraid it's too early to say.
I was the one who reported it at the time, the stalking.
Emma brushed it off, but I found it rather unsettling.
I thought it was Omar harassing her.
Yes. Her ex-boyfriend.
I sort of... accused him of it.
Did Emma find a new boyfriend after Omar or...
No. She was actually enjoying being single.
It had been difficult to rid herself of Omar, so...
Thanks for your help, Marie.
What happens now?
Well, we'll continue our investigation of the murder of Zara Solak.
What about Emma?
If it might be the same killer, will you look at her case too?
Yes, but we're not sure, and it's not our case--
It's been two years.
You still haven't found him!
Excuse me. Just a second.
Everything here is about fucking Emma!
- Sorry about that. - Not at all.
But perhaps... Can I see the photos one more time?
- Of course. - Thank you.
I really want to help you
so this can finally stop.
It's likely the same killer from Emma's case.
Or rather, we're exploring the possibility that it might be the same--
We're pretty sure that it is.
Look. Here's my phone number.
Just call me if you think of anything, or if you need help with something.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
- We were supposed to not confirm a link. - She lost a child.
Yes, but you're giving her false hope.
- She's got a right to know. - That's what you think.
You still have your head up your ass. Excuse me?
- Must be nice to do everything right. - What's that supposed to mean?
- No mistakes allowed in your world. - I take my duty seriously.
- So do I! - No, you leave when things get difficult.
Remind me how you ended our relationship.
- By text? - I had to leave.
What was I supposed to tell Le?
I'd like to explain to her.
No, just forget it.
So why are you even here?
Not to argue, that's for sure.
- Sandra. What's up? - Are you having fun?
What do you want?
One of the stalking reports looks similar to the other two.
Reported several times. As recently as yesterday.
I'm not sure if it's anything. It's from, well, a man.
- A man? - Yes.
Where are you? I've just arrived.
- Isn't this overreacting? - She's threatening you!
Shouldn't we involve the police?
I tried. It's no use.
What if it isn't her?
It has to be her!
See you soon. It'll be warm when you get here.
Yeah. Love you.
I love you too, honey.
See you soon.
Yes. Bye.
Hey, Thor. All good?
- Hi, Thor. - Hey. What are you up to?
How are you?
I'm great.
- Are you coming to class? - Coming.
EMMA FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS
Thor, come on!
Why aren't you at school?
What's wrong?
It's all right.
- It's okay. - Do you want to come in for a chat?
This is the receptionist at your hotel.
Okay?
I'm afraid that your bird is chirping.
It's chirping?
- I don't know if you can see it. - Yeah. I see it.
Several guests have already complained.
Right. Have you tried covering the cage with something?
That makes it shut up.
It's a canary. Food and water won't do, it needs company too.
Right. I'll sort it out, okay?
- So we can count on you-- - Thanks for calling.
We were told he was here.
Sorry. He left again a while ago.
Can you give us access to your email server?
Sure. Of course.
Andreas has no idea who might have sent it?
He figured it might be his ex-wife.
He mentioned an old fling, but...
You've tried calling him?
He's not answering.
He keeps changing his number. I usually call his wife.
Hi, Annika. Carsten here.
Have you spoken to Andreas recently?
The police are here, and they'd like to speak with you.
Here you go.
This is Naia Thulin.
I hope she can help you.
I tend to mind my own business,
but if a client sees this--
- Can I see it? The photo? - Yes, of course.
I get why he's rattled.
There's a message too.
Andreas is at the cottage.
The counting rhyme.
- Let's go. - Yes.
Enough!
For fuck's sake, this stops right now!
What the hell is your problem?
This is insane, you know!
Can't you see how insane this is?
FOUND YOU!
Sandra, we need two teams ASAP.
One to the cottage and one to Andreas's wife.
- Behind you! - Great!
We made it.
Hi, sweetie.
- Want anything from the stand? - No, thank you.
No! Keep it up!
The police stopped by with some questions.
Yeah. Thor told me.
He turned up, very upset, at my place.
I told him we wouldn't let the case dominate anymore.
I'm glad you said that.
He finds it difficult living with you.
There's too much focus on Emma.
I'll clear out her room soon.
Good idea.
It's for the best. For all of us.
No!
Wow, Thor. Did you buy the whole shop?
I met Omar.
Omar? Is he here?
- Right. - He's working the stand.
So I got them for free.
That was nice of him.
Yes! Way to go! Did you see that?
That's how it's done!
Molly scored.
- Did you see it? - Yes. Well done, sweetie!
GPS signal indicates his last location, before his phone was turned off,
was at your parents' cottage in Køge.
Any idea where he went from there?
No.
He's not in any of the common areas or at the neighbors'.
Is there somewhere he might've gone, or people he might've gone to see?
No.
Can you think of anyone Andreas might have fallen out with?
Only his ex-wife, Sofie.
She hates him. Won't let him see his son.
- What's her last name? - Foldager's calling.
Her last name is Antonsen.
Do you have her address?
See you soon.
HEY, NAIA. WOULD YOU LIKE TO GET DINNER SOMETIME?
UM, WHO'S ASKING?
What did Foldager say?
Just a second.
Oh, it's you!
Hi, Bjørn.
Yes, I'm actually at work.
But can we...
Yeah. Can we talk later?
What's up?
Just...
Foldager wants us to interview Zara's ex-husband.
I'd like to talk to Andreas's ex.
She lives on Amager. It's on the way.
All right?
- Shouldn't we get going? - Who's Bjørn?
Yeah, who is Bjørn?
Damn, you were good.
- You have to come next time too. - Yes.
Are we good luck?
Thor, your dad and I just discussed you spending more time at his place.
Thank you. No problem. Have a nice day.
Why don't you two go with your dad now? You could spend the night there.
What do you say?
Sure. That's fine.
See you tomorrow, then.
See you.
What do you want?
Have you spoken to the police too?
About?
I've never hurt Emma.
I know.
It's just... They asked if Emma had a new boyfriend back then.
You'd never let her date someone like me.
That's not true.
Whatever.
Was she seeing someone?
Did she find a new boyfriend?
Ask her friends.
I'm asking you.
I think so.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
I told the police at the time.
Who was she seeing?
He was married.
But...
No, I would've known.
Do you really believe that? You're the last person she would tell.
MOLLY MOUSE
Is your mom home?
- Can I talk to her? - Yes. Mom!
I no longer talk to Andreas at all.
We only communicate through a lawyer.
Do you know any places he might've gone or people he might've turned to?
He's probably just screwing someone new.
He usually does when he loses interest and reality bites.
So...
Was it an acrimonious divorce?
He just left.
One weekend.
And destroyed Lukas's life.
How long were you married?
Twelve years.
But he started focusing on his career and made a lot of money.
Then, when Lukas was diagnosed,
I was completely on my own
and had to fight to get him the right treatment.
While his dad was busy starting a new family--
You can't think of anyone who might be stalking Andreas?
He's a narcissist, you know.
And a sex addict.
So it's
probably some big-boobed bimbo he promised all sorts of things.
Are you talking about Dad?
Doesn't matter, sweetie.
- When can we finish it? - In a minute, okay? I promise.
Lukas, would you like to show me your room?
- Yes. - Good idea.
You seem to know a lot about Andreas's new life.
Look, Lukas hasn't seen his dad for six months
because he prefers his new family.
- Do you have many figurines? - Yeah.
Is Batman your favorite?
One of them.
Okay. Who's his enemy?
Him, I think.
Is he his archenemy?
One of them, for sure.
Who else?
There's... Iron Man.
Does he fight him often?
Not every day, but kind of often.
What's his superpower?
His superpower is that he can be in two places at once.
Send a team to...
Hold the door!
Andreas? Look at me, Andreas.
Andreas.
Dad!
Dad.
Is Le up there?
She'll be home later.
Unless she's staying at Esther's as usual.
Might be a good idea not to be alone now.
See you tomorrow.
I know you
probably find it weird that I just
suddenly showed up here.
My brother is quite ill.
Jon?
He's in an induced coma right now.
The doctors don't know if he'll make it.
I'm so sorry to hear that.
Apparently, he started drinking again.
So...
We can only hope that... he'll quit after this, right?
But yeah, that's... why I'm here.
And why you're taking care of his bird.
It's a good idea to talk to people in a coma.
- The hearing is the last thing that-- - Yes. I've heard that from a lot...
It's good you're there for him.
See you tomorrow?
I THINK WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THAT KISS...

I was actually just about to text you back.
I just received a text that might be from our stalker.
I'm on my way.
