Darkness: Those Who Kill (2019) s01e01 Episode Script

THOSE WHO KILL
FOR SALE
POLICE
Good morning.
Hey, Jan.
Møller Thomsen wants to talk to us.
- About what?
- No idea.
Good morning.
MT wants to talk to us.
Yes, Gitte said.
Have the technicians been in
contact about Julie's bag?
There was only DNA from her and
her mother. It didn't help.
- And the phone lists?
- I've checked them.
There were no new, interesting names.
And the guy Julie talked to
at the party? Axel?
We've had him in twice.
- He was the only one with a car.
- He has an alibi.
The mother, yes.
We know the perpetrator had a car.
- Yes, a minibus.
- And if it's not that one?
Jan
How was your weekend?
I was in the house.
Annemarie isn't done with the
bathroom. Boxes of tiles everywhere.
- We have to sell it sometime.
- I can help you on Saturday.
No, we've decided that
Annemarie will do it.
I don't want to start something now.
Let us know if you change your mind.
As long as there's beer, I'll come.
No, thanks.
But I'll gladly take that.
Then you should have come earlier.
- Good morning.
- Hey.
After the gang shooting on Friday,
I have to redistribute the resources.
Gitte and Dennis, you continue with
Julie. Jan, you take the shooting.
- Is it more important?
- Yes, we have to reprioritise.
The investigation has gone on for six
months without a breakthrough.
- What are you doing now?
- Going to tell Julie's family.
Let me do it, Jan.
- I've had contact with them.
- Yes, but
It's me they've put trust in when
I said we'd find Julie.
If anyone should tell them, it's me.
- You've given up hope.
- No, the investigation will continue.
- You also think she's dead.
- That's not what he's saying.
On Saturday it's six months
since she disappeared.
I'm well aware that Julie's
no longer alive.
But I have to know what happened.
- I understand very well
- Have you got children?
- No.
- Then you have no idea.
Stop it, Mum.
He's promised to find her.
Right, Jan?
Yes.
I just want a resolution.
I want to be able to bury
my daughter.
It's been six months, Jan.
Please, find her.
I'll keep looking.
I'll find her.
I promise.
What did Julie's family say?
They think we've given up.
That only having two investigators
left is like saying we've lost hope.
If you talk to MT,
I can talk the shooting.
Thanks, but that's not necessary.
He doesn't decide what I
do in my free time.
All missing people since 1980.
Enjoy.
Bye, guys.
We've gone back 10 years.
It's a waste of time.
There could be likenesses to older
cases. I have to be sure.
- No
- Looking good!
- Hey, Jan.
- Hey.
No. Stop it!
- There's pizza.
- No, thanks.
- Close the door after you?
- Yes.
About the room My brother said
that you needed somewhere to
live for a couple of weeks.
That's not such a long time,
but it's been more than that.
It's been almost five months and a
friend has been kicked out
- I have a month's notice.
- I don't remember what we said
I do.
So you'll move out in a
month from today?
MISSING PERSON
Natasha Markwart Gilholm was reported
missing 25/04/08 at midnight.
Still not found.
The case was closed 10/12/09.
Possible suicide.
Student at Greve High School.
GREVE HIGH SCHOOL
Natasha? She was psychologically
unwell. She drowned herself.
The body was never found.
- How old was she?
- 17.
Look. Natasha leaves a party at
Greve High School here,
and disappears on the way home.
Just like Julie.
The perpetrator might have
done this before.
It was 10 years ago and was
classed as suicide.
They might have been wrong. Would you
have dressed up for a suicide?
- What did her parents say?
- They didn't believe it either.
I have to speak to her parents.
Can I take this?
Good morning, MT.
- Where's he going?
- ToKøge.
Yes, he's got some people to talk to.
Natasha had tried to kill
herself before.
She tried to drown herself at the
beach when she was 14.
After that she was in hospital
for awhile.
She had a psychosis and
suffered from delusions.
- How did they manifest?
- She thought she was being followed.
She thought someone was
watching her.
But she was a lot better after
therapy and medication.
She liked going to school.
You don't believe the suicide theory?
No.
I know my daughter.
She'd moved past it.
The police must have had a theory
that something had happened to her?
Yes, but not for long. They searched
between the school and our home
but when they didn't find anything,
they said she'd drowned herself.
They didn't care about the fact that
a man had been following her.
- When was that?
- A couple of weeks before.
She rang from the station one evening
and said someone was following her.
I drove there to pick her up but
he was gone by then.
Do you think, like the police,
that she made it up?
The police said she was imagining it.
Natasha was well.
She was a bit sad at the party.
Something about a guy.
Who did she talk to when she was sad?
I don't know.
She had a lot of friends.
Did she have a best friend?
Ditte?
They'd been friends since
primary school.
She didn't go to that high school
so she wasn't at the party.
- Where did she live?
- In the village.
- On the other side of the forest?
- Yes, near the lake.
Hey, Dennis. It's me.
We have to check something.
I think I know what happened to
Natasha Gilholm.
The autopsy report.
The dental records confirm
it was Natasha in the lake.
The Chief Superintendant is here.
Karlslund, Jan Michelsen
who found Natasha.
- Jan has been with us for a year.
- We haven't met.
- Well done.
- Thanks.
DennisHøjbjerg and Gitte Hermansen
know you.
What's the plan now?
Jan will merge the
investigation with Julie's.
- It could be the same perpetrator.
- Does anything support that?
There are similarities. The girls are
both blonde and the same age.
They disappeared in the same area
at the same time of day.
In Julie's case, we have a burnt out
car, probably the perpetrator's.
Three days after Natasha
disappeared, a similar car was found.
- Stolen and burnt out.
- It could be a coincidence.
- It has been 10 years, after all.
- It could be the same perpetrator.
I want an expert opinion before
the cases are merged.
People will panic if they hear we're
looking for a serial killer.
Louise Bergstein? She's our best
criminologist and psychologist.
She was headhunted to England
where she worked as a profiler.
- She doesn't work for the police now.
- No, at a crisis centre.
We've worked together.
I can probably get her to help us.
- Sure.
- Perfect.
I'll look her up now.
Amanda, what do you want
to talk about today?
I've met someone.
Can we talk about that?
We can talk about whatever you like.
He doesn't know what
happened to me.
I don't know when I'll tell him.
It's something he should know.
What do you think?
Should a new boyfriend be told if
you've been subjected to a rape?
Yes. You should tell him.
I don't think you should tell him.
What we experience in life
becomes part of who we are,
whether we like it or not.
- Hello?
- Hey, it's Jens. MT, that is.
Hey. Come up.
- Hey! It's been ages.
- I heard you were home again.
- What's the plan?
- I came home a year ago.
- A year ago?
- Yes.
- How did you know where I live?
- We country folk perform miracles.
- Country folk?
- Yes, I've left the big city.
- By choice?
- Totally by choice. Wow.
It's a friend's apartment.
She moved to New York with her
boyfriend. I'm subletting.
- Coffee?
- No, thanks.
I'm investigating Julie Vinding's
disappearance.
Okay. I'm familiar with that.
It's been hard to avoid.
We found a ten-year-old body in the
same area yesterday. A young woman.
We suspect it's the same perpetrator.
We'd really like to hear your
opinion on the matter.
- Well I can't.
- We really need your help.
I don't want to.
I work at a crisis centre now.
- I know.
- And I like it there.
I respect that, but you're throwing
away your talents.
I talk to victims I can help.
It's not throwing anything away.
Purely theoretically,
Julie Vinding could still be alive.
She's been missing for
six months, right?
You know you're most likely
looking for a body.
I'm not asking you to start working
as a consultant for us again.
What I'm asking for is
two hours of your time.
Two hours, Louise.
- Okay.
- Good.
- Now?
- Yes, now. I'll wait in the car.
Okay, Jan. Would you like to start?
Natasha was bound to a rock with her
stockings and thrown in the lake.
- Cause of death?
- Unknown.
No injuries to either cranium
or skeleton.
Did anything suspicious happen
before she disappeared?
Her parents said she'd been
followed by a man.
What was she wearing when
she disappeared?
- What was she wearing?
- Yes.
A long dress.
There had been a ball
at the high school.
- Did you find the dress in the lake?
- Remnants of her bag and jacket.
- But no dress.
- So he might have taken it.
- Why?
- As a souvenir or trophy.
It's his link to Natasha.
Through it, he can own her
and relive what he did.
She probably wasn't a random victim.
The perpetrator may have known her.
- And Julie Vinding?
- She was attacked quite brutally.
Her bag and one shoe were
still on the path.
- Was anything missing from the bag?
- Her phone.
- And the car?
- Found in Tune the night after.
A witness saw a grey minibus in
Greve when Julie disappeared.
- It was stolen in Greve.
- On the same night?
A couple of hours before
the disappearance.
So he attacks her,
drags her to the car, gets her phone,
and drives away.
Do you see a connection to Natasha?
Yes, they're similar.
Same age, appearance, hair
- So he was obsessed with Julie too?
- No, he probably didn't know Julie.
Julie was chosen because
she was like Natasha.
The missing dress suggests a strong
sexual obsession with Natasha.
So the physical likenesses between
the victims are important.
That both girls came from
the same area
could mean it's the same perpetrator.
- So both Natasha and Julie?
- Yes.
He needed yet another victim from
Greve to recreate his fantasy.
Recreate? So it's possible
he'll do it again?
It's likely.
From what I know, so far,
he's a sociopath with a high and
uncontrolled level of aggression.
He's impulsive,
but this type of perpetrator
often becomes more focused and more
of a perfectionist over time.
He could strike more often
in the future.
Sexual criminals of this type only
stop when they're caught.
So
So, we'll combine the investigations.
Great. Thank you, everyone.
Good morning.
My name is Alberte - today as well.
Isn't it time you tell me your name?
- No
- No? Okay.
But do me a favour and put
out the cigarette.
We don't smoke in here, okay?
Emma, you either flee or attack.
Were we too rough with you today?
- Have you heard about the body?
- Yes. Her name was Natasha.
- Did you know her?
- She was in my year.
Back then, they said it was suicide.
- Are you afraid to walk alone?
- No.
But I start my shift at the
hotel at 5.30am.
It's just so dark when I walk to
the station in the mornings.
I can come with you.
And get up in
the middle of the night?
- Yeah, absolutely.
- No, I can defend myself now.
You've got a lot left to learn.
Just stick to the main road
and avoid the small paths.
We'll keep the merging of the
cases to ourselves.
Too late. The press is already
speculating on potential connection.
Just let them speculate.
Nobody mention the phrase
"serial killer" until we know more.
Everyone's talking about Julie,
so imagine how they'd react
if we came out saying the perpetrator
had been active ten years ago.
Damn.
MISS YOU, JULIE.
Hey, Sisse. It's Emma.
I'm on my way to the station and
there's a car following me.
Maybe someone's just taken
a wrong turn.
No, I'm just being silly.
Sorry. Just forget it.
See you at training. Bye.
Hey.
We have to find another angle.
A young woman wants to speak with the
investigator of the Greve murders.
- "Greve murders"?
- Haven't you read today's paper?
- No.
- You should probably talk to her.
We'll talk in my office.
Hey, Sisse, It's Emma.
I'm on my way to the station and
there's a car following me.
Maybe someone's just
taken a wrong turn.
No, I'm just being silly.
Sorry. Just forget it.
See you at training. Bye.
She's not at home, isn't answering
her phone, and never came to work.
- Maybe she took time off.
- Emma wouldn't do that.
- She would have called.
- Could she have met a guy?
She doesn't date. Her parents are in
a Christian sect. A free church.
- Have you got a photo of Emma?
- Yes.
We took this after training
last week.
- Can I borrow your phone?
- Sure.
- What is it?
- Same age and type as Natasha.
- We should trace her mobile directly.
- I'll sort it out.
Louise Bergstein.
Please leave a message.
It's Jan Michelsen.
I'm sending a sound file.
It's a girl who was on her way to the
station in Greve this morning. Emma.
She never turned up at work.
I need your help.
Ring me as soon as you can.
Hey, Sisse, It's Emma.
I'm on my way to the station and
there's a car following me.
Maybe someone's just
taken a wrong turn.
No, I'm just being silly.
Sorry. Just forget it.
See you at training. Bye.
- Louise?
- Hey.
Were you at the police
station yesterday?
Just for a short consultation,
nothing else.
Do you think it's such a good idea?
I don't know.
It's about the those girls in Greve.
They said it might have
happened again.
It's not your responsibility.
It wasn't long ago
No, I know.
See you.
We've got a call about Julie
Vinding's brother. Can you take it?
Yes, I'm at the scene now.
- Thanks for calling.
- He asked us to call you.
- What's happened?
- He got into a fight.
- Any injuries?
- He came out worse off.
We can take him in,
but we know who he is.
I'll take care of it. Thanks.
I'll drive him home.
- What the hell is this?
- I went out in town.
I haven't been out since Julie
I've worked and spent time with Mum.
Nothing else.
Why did you go out now?
- It was her birthday yesterday.
- Yes.
I just couldn't cope with just
sitting at home with Mum.
What happened at the bar?
One of them said something
about Julie.
He said she was lying in a bog,
just like Natasha.
I shouldn't have hit him.
But he's right.
- We don't know that.
- My sister is dead, Jan.
Don't you get it?
Come here. Come.
There.
Now we'll get you home.
We can't track Emma's phone. The
signal disappeared after the call.
Damn.
The security cameras at the station
in Greve didn't give us anything.
Has Louise Bergstein called?
No, she hasn't. Why?
- No reason. See you tomorrow.
- Yes. Bye.
Jan Michelsen, investigating Julie's
disappearance. We met yesterday.
I know it's late, but can I come up?
Sure.
- Hey.
- Hey.
It was a great help to us that
you came in yesterday.
Good.
- Have you listened to the sound file?
- Yes.
Good.
May I?
Emma Holst. She called from near the
station in Greve this morning.
But she never turned up to work.
We've found her phone and bag,
300 metres from the spot
Julie Vinding was attacked.
- How old is she?
- 20.
The same type as Julie and Natasha.
She's not just at a friend's place?
No, we've checked.
If it's the same perpetrator
who killed Natasha,
why wait ten years before
starting again?
The most important thing is to find
what triggers him. A stresser.
Like what?
A crisis, making him feel he needs
to relive his obsession with Natasha.
And his new victims?
Is it possible he's moving them?
Keeps them alive?
If it's the same perpetrator,
I don't think so.
He's not that well-organised.
Why haven't we found Julie then?
It was only just recently that
you found Natasha.
People like him kill their victims
within a few hours.
- At most, within a few days.
- So Emma Holst could be alive?
That's what you're saying, right?
I need a profiler who understands
these patterns.
- If Emma's alive
- I don't think so. I'm sorry.
At least help me find the
perpetrator. You said it yourself.
He won't stop until he's caught.
- I can't disappoint my new group.
- No, of course not.
It's just for this case.
I'm not going back to the police.
Thank you.
See you at the station.
