And Ramsing and Pedersen
- What are you blabbering on about?
- Volmer is dead.
Ramsing and Pedersen refuse to do
anything, in spite of the testimonies.
And then Hjalmar told Lilian Olsen
Why would he say that,
unless he knows that Volmer's dead?
- It's guesswork.
- Hjalmar controls the entire underworld.
- Have you met Hjalmar?
Weasel took me to a party,
I met Lillian Olsen there.

You know your husband is dead and

- It's me.
- Are you Volmer Olsen?
Come inside.
Do you want a beer?
Honey, go get some beer.
- Well, so you know Lilian?
- A bit, yes.
- What kind of stories has she been telling?
- That you were dead.
She has also been hospitalized.
At an asylum.
- Right, darling?
- Yes.
- She was scared shitless.
- Yes, she was.
- She's hiding something.
- Have you seen Volmer Olsen before?
- No.
No, I would argue, none of us have.
Yet.

Do you see now?
Is he dead?

Do you have a name?

So long, Bjarne Madsen.

It's a romantic myth.
I have no more comments.
Goodbye.
Weasel?
Weasel!
- What the hell do they want him for?
Sorry, I'll call you at
the Police Headquarters.
I am about to reveal a black market murder
and police corruption.
It comforts me. So you are not
such a bad journalist-
- As your article might indicate.
I let myself be persuaded
not to proceed.
It is a known truth that all wealth
is amassed through crime.
There are circumstances in our recent
past, that we have come to forget.
You are right about that.
We making German uniforms.
Wehrmacht, SS. Also for the Hipokorps
(The german controlled police).
Yes, finally.
- No, but
it was collaboration.
Come here.
- Well, how are you doing?
- I feel fashionable.
Former member of the Freedom Council.
And this is Bjarne Madsen,
from the Social- Democrat.
- I told him about our uniforms.
Well, did you also tell him what
we were using the profits for?
5,000 machine guns
for the Resistance.
Companies that cooperated with
the Germans were sabotaged.
Yes, but when he was asked
to produce uniforms-
- Vanbjerg was a trusted member
of the Resistance.
You produced uniforms for the Germans, with
the acceptance of the Resistance movement?
Freedom Council wanted to negotiate
directly with the Germans.
Vanbjerg was an agent. He was in danger
of being liquidated by those-
Danish sentiment.
Our negotiations bore fruit. The Danish losses on the 4.
and 5. of May were small.
Without Vanbjergs participation,
with this story earlier?
In 45 the talks were very sensitive,
so we kept them secret.
Vanbjerg agreed to act as a man
with a tarnished reputation.
We are making some considerations,
that I wish to tell you about.
A fund which will come
from my private funds-
- To establish colleges all
over the country.
Education is the backbone of the
society we want to build.
It sounds sympathetic.
How much are we talking about?
- 16 million crowns.

- The police dropped him off.
drunkenness and disorderly conduct.
Who beat you up!?
Ramsing and Pedersen?
Let us not dwell on past sins.
We need the name of
- That drove him out to the boat.
Do you know who he is?
If it was possible to procure
that information
it would be as valuable as gold.
"Apples of gold in baskets of silver
are words spoken at the right time."
- When can we get that name?
- Gentlemen.
I pull the strings and
see whether the bells are ringing.
- As valuable as gold. What the hell did he mean?
- What do we do now?
- We wait.
- I could get Lillian to testify.
- Yes, if you want to waste your time.
Lilian?
- No.
- Can you see him?
- Nah..
- He is probably not there.
- Wave, Bjarne.
- Who should I wave at?
That's my boy. Ole!

Okay.
How the hell did you
become so pigheaded?
- What are you doing in that shitty paper?
- It's not a shitty paper.
- We could do something together. The two of us.
You could join me in
my jazz club.
Earn some money.
Every night like this.
What should I play?

He picks up Volmer Olsen
up and drives him to the boat.
But on the way they pick up
another person. Rudolf Novak.
He came from Hungary and
tried his luck as a gangster.
Volmer Olsen worked as
a bodyguard for him.
Gustav sees them
greet Hjalmar and Arthur.
Then they go on board, and the boat
disappears into the darkness.
Gustav waits behind the shed over there.
Then the boat returns
without Volmer and Novak.
What actually happened,
no one knows.
But tall of them knew each other.
They've probably been on the deck,
small talking and freezing.
Nobody did anything before
Hjalmar signalled.
Perhaps to Arthur.
Lilian Olsen seeks out Gustav.
He tells her what he knows.
She comes along to the police headquarters
and speaks with the two officers.
That told her Volmer
had run away with another woman.
But they were worried
and let a false Volmer Olsen appear.
- Yes but what were they going out there for?
But Novak seemed nervous.
He had said they would be rich.
- Congratulations. Your first front page.
- Thanks.
- It is only the tip of the iceberg.
- Bjarne, I love you.
- Eva, what the hell.
- Listen to me now.

- Fine.
- Congratulations, Bjarne.
- Thats it.
- Cheers, Bjarne.

with Volmer Olsen and Rudolf Novak.
This is confirmed by Lillian Olsen
and Gustav Rasmussen.
The file is now presented.
The court is set.

Lilian Olsen was with Hjalmar
yesterday in Johs.
- What were you doing on Johs?

Excuse me.
Until today, I thought the
police would solve crimes.
Shut up, damn it!
Someone called and asked for you.
Said he had found gold.
Can I get it?
- Do you know where Weasel lives?
- Look over there.
Weasel?
Weasel
