Gidseltagningen (2017) s01e04 Episode Script

Episode 4

1 The police has sealed the whole area He's Philip Nørgaard, from the Anti Terrorism Team.
I have 15 hostages, the price is 4 million euros.
We'll start a national crowdfunding.
Howdy, Partner.
I need you to run a name: Ahmad Mahmoud.
It's Adel, he's dead.
- I take full responsibility.
What more can we do? We need help! - He needs insulin! Stand back! - You can send the medic down to treat him.
That can work.
- The jacket is safe, we just need the camera.
We'll have eyes and ears and he can talk to us when we go in.
I have a new interview for you tonight.
- You're kidding me? You killed someone! We got pros who know what they're doing.
Do you? Naja Toft.
- We're ready, are you? I'm sorry, I can't do this.
Cramer, we have a visual.
Team 1 moving.
Team 2? Team 2 moving.
200 meters from the target.
Over.
Get out with your hands above your head.
Pull back now! DAY 4 A dog tag? - Like soldiers have.
Who's got it? - Alpha.
You can get those everywhere, like a necklace.
Yes but they also have explosives.
These aren't amateurs.
Here's the ballistics.
The bullets in the elevator came from something like this.
An assault rifle for special forces.
It's getting better and better Like those stolen from Aalborg 2 years ago.
Do we know who did it? - No, we questioned every soldier and nothing came out.
The guns had just disappeared.
So they could have bought their guns in Denmark.
- Yes.
Much easier than smuggling.
Who sells military gear? - Bikers gangs.
But if they'd bought them, something would have come out.
I'd say so.
Maybe there's been an offer.
- It's worth trying.
Let me see.
One of the hostages was rushed to the hospital with gunshot wounds.
Silas Jensen, 25.
His conditions are stable.
The hostage was wounded during a failed military operation.
On the 4th day, we still don't know the hijackers identity and no organization has yet claimed credit for the attack.
He's here.
- Thanks.
Who are you? - My name's Louise, I'm with the police.
What do you want? - I'm in charge of the negotiations.
The more I know, the best I can help all the others down there.
Of course.
They tell me the hijackers act like they were soldiers.
I've never been a soldier, but it looks like that.
Can you tell us what happened when Adel got killed? Their leader lost it when the communication was cut.
In what way? - Usually he's ice cold, very controlled.
But if something doesn't go as planned, it's like he loses his head.
Philip? Two minutes? We've been asking around, a conspiracy of silence.
- Bikers won't talk.
I'm sure they've been asked for weapons but they're too easy to trace.
So someone tried to sell the guns.
We ran through some possibilities, like people who's been to Afghanistan.
Tough customers.
But we've been told some veterans are unexpectedly chatty.
We'll get one of those, they don't cover for bikers.
Good idea, let's make a list.
Hi, Sam, it's me.
I know and I hate to keep pushing you about this, but is there any news on Ahmad Mahmoud? Sam, I need this and I need it fast.
The crowdfunding is not going well, but people can always change their minds.
I'm sure it'll start back, but you'll have to do it without me.
I thought about it and I need to let the police do their job in order to avoid other tragedies.
You were fine with it 2 days ago.
- Yes but the situation has changed.
Is someone pressuring you? - I think I'm being an obstacle.
I think you gotta keep it up though.
- We have not your visibility.
That's true but I'll leave you all my contacts.
Are you leaving us like this? - I'm really sorry.
Of course, it's not your family down there! - Keep it down.
She used us and now she just leaves! - We're all too nervous here! Hey! I'm sorry we're all upset I get that.
I'm Jonas.
Naja.
- I know.
You did good.
- I don't know, I feel I lost control of the situation.
We gotta find the money or else it's gonna end up really bad.
If you don't feel like continuing, I can handle the crowdfunding.
Who do you know of the hostages? My father, he's got diabetes.
- Your father is Leon? I'm sorry.
Thanks.
Kamlai I really missed you so.
Are you hungry? I have brought food from village.
Please, sit down.
In Denmark, we call it "love fruit".
- Love fruit? And you know what? I bought a present for you.
- A present? Gloves from Greenland.
- Greenland? Yes, they're very warm to you.
When you come to Denmark, I mean.
You like them? - Yes, thank you.
They're very soft.
But not as soft as you.
- You are naughty! I've really missed you so much.
Maybe you have missed foot massage.
I give you now.
Or maybe we skip the massage Want some? - Looks like a hairy testicle! Not mine! - Is it a rambutan? Rambu-what? - Rambutan fruit.
Also called "the love fruit".
Wanna try one? - Yes, thanks.
Like this? - Exactly.
Good.
- You've been to Thailand? Yes.
- Where? Pattaya.
- Pattaya? It's beautiful.
- It is I got a very cool tattoo last time, wanna see it? Isn't it nice? - Maybe you shouldn't We're among friends.
Last on the list: Torben Olsen, treated for PTSD the past 4 years.
I'll go this way.
Torben? - You can't stay here! I need to talk to you.
- Go away! I'm a cop, I just wanna talk.
- I did nothing.
I didn't say that.
I'm looking for Torben Olsen, have you seen him? I know no Torben Olsen.
- They told me he sleeps I don't know no fucking Torben Olsen! Easy Put it down and stay calm, I'm warning you.
I've done nothing.
- Stay down! Where did you get this weapon? This is what we have raised so far.
It's a closed account.
If we don't meet the amounts, it'll be given back.
No shopping trip then.
Are you hungry? I am, let's fix something to eat.
I don't think I have anything - I'll find something.
You better share this on your social networks.
What you mean? - I mean Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram I have none.
What do you do? - I'm in constructions.
I quit a job in Dubai after my father was kidnapped.
How's your father like? - An idiot.
But he's still my father.
Something's happening! Randi Petersen just donated 10,000 crowns.
Are you writing to her? - It's better to thank personally, more money might come.
Smart.
Do you have chili pepper? Yes, the bottom drawer.
- Great.
I brought it back from the Helmand.
You brought it from the Helmand - I can say whatever I want.
First of all, you never even went near the special forces.
Second, soldiers don't bring their rifle home.
So, where did you get it? Where di you get it, Torben?! You've been in contact with a gang of bikers for the past 18 months.
I know nothing about that.
- We do.
This is you, sitting in a bar with a couple of "not very nice" guys.
Look again.
Look at the picture, Torben! We're drinking beer, so what? You were probably chatting while drinking beer.
I chat with lots of people.
- You do remember sitting with them though.
Torben think carefully.
- Where did you get the gun?! I'll take it from here.
What's your rank? First Corporal.
- How many times you've been out? One in Kosovo, one in Iraq and three times in Afghanistan.
- Which squad in the Helmand.
A3, C8, H9.
- There must have been mines.
Once you've cleared a mine field, you don't look at a road like you did before.
A dog that dug a hole a bumpy road you keep thinking: "Is that a mine?" When did you last go to sleep without waking up drenched in sweat? In the good days, I have like 10 flashbacks Otherwise, I see it all the time.
They tell me it'll go away, but it doesn't.
Whenever someone gets too close, the first instinct is to throw him on the ground.
It's the adrenaline.
It's a good thing, you need it on the battlefield.
The problem is suppressing it when you're back home.
Is that why you bought that rifle? Once I got that rifle, I finally could sleep at night.
A good rifle too.
Torben, who did you buy it from? There are civilians trapped under our feet right now.
They've never seen a weapon before.
They don't know what to do with their adrenaline.
You can help me save them.
Olsen who sold you the rifle? Stefan Nielsen and Niklas Holm.
Thanks.
They're in the system.
- Good, let's go get them.
Did you talk to Silas? Anything new? Nothing relevant.
I watched you in there, you did good.
Was it an act? If so, it was very convincing.
Philip if you're having PTSD symptoms - I was acting.
I was playing him, I'm not suicidal and I don't have flashbacks.
They might not teach this in the first year of psychology, but I'm fine I'm great.
I thought you were broke.
- Why are you looking into my purse? That's not nice.
- I'm sorry, but Why did you tell me you were broke? - It's not my money, it's for my mother's medicine.
Where did you get all that money? Did you go back to? - No, sit down.
I really like you but I have to work.
I know I promised But I give you money! I fixed my house so you can come and stay! I cannot go to Sweden.
- It's not Sweden, it's Denmark! I cannot go to Denmark! How many men are you seeing? I worked for many years Soon I'll have money enough to buy a house.
I'm sorry, Leon.
You can hit me now.
Has someone seen the water? - There was some before, Joachim? I finished it, sorry.
- Take mine.
They should at least give us water.
- Let it go! Hey! Can I have some water? Why don't you pick it up yourself? Come on.
What do we do?? We gotta do something! We gotta help her! Get the fuck back! Light's still out.
- Then you'll have to wait.
Goodnight, daddy.
- Say goodnight to daddy.
Goodnight, sweet dreams.
How's the family? - Fine.
You know two little kids It must be nice going back to them after work.
- Yes.
Imagine if your kids were down there.
In these extreme cases, we would need the death penalty.
I'd love to press that button.
- What a horrible thought! Wouldn't you wanna do it? Why not? Vengeance won't get you anything, it's just medieval.
You're a better man than I am.
- Much smarter too.
Although I'm much more handsome and strong than you.
Fuck, you're just a moron - I am Something's happening.
It's him.
- Are you sure? Yes, it's registered to Stefan Nielsen.
Stefan Nielsen? I'd like a word with you.
Get him! Stop! I only want to talk, nothing else.
I need your car! - Calm down.
Shut up! Straight that way.
Clausen, are you ok? - Yes fuck! After Singapore I've been in Canada, then Brazil and Dubai.
Are you going back? - Maybe, I don't make long term plans.
An adventurous type.
- More like a gipsy I guess.
A gipsy who can cook like a Chef I smell a good story.
I smell a reporter at work do you ever rest? Not really.
- Do you like your job? Most of the times I don't, but then I meet someone with an interesting story and I feel I can open up a breach through him Right there I love my job.
I see it.
- What? One feels like opening up to you, tell you his secrets.
Why is that? - You can listen.
Maybe even when it's you talking.
You inspire trust and a little bit of fear.
I'm not that scary! - In a good way, I like it.
I gotta go.
- One more little bottle of wine? Just a small one, I really need it.
A little one.
- Tiny little one.
I heard they gave you trouble.
- They're just thieves.
One panicked and grabbed my gun.
We got in a fight and now he's at the hospital.
No gunfire? - We got control right away.
You're ok? - Yes.
We have the guns, we know you sold them.
We know where you sold them.
We have video footages of the selling.
I won't say a word without my lawyer.
S.
P.
- Is it coming? - Yes.
- Thanks.
S.
P.
Hi, I'm Lisa Lütken.
- Stefan.
I'm your appointed lawyer, you don't have to say anything.
Good, then I won't.
- What's the charges? Stealing weapons from the HQ in Aalborg.
But that's the least of it, he's also charged with complicity in a terrorist attack.
Terrorist? - He sold the guns to some terrorists who used them to kidnap 15 Danish hostages.
One wounded and one dead.
Make sure he understands the sentence will be strict.
I have nothing to do with terrorists.
If he didn't know they were terrorists, that charge will drop.
We'll see.
But if he cooperates If he tells everything about that sale, we can discuss it.
What if I don't.
- We'll ask for the maximum sentence.
The difference between stealing guns and selling them o terrorists goes from just a few years up to a life sentence.
I'd like to speak alone with Stefan.
S.
P.
? Stefan wants to speak with you.
The sale was 3 weeks ago.
Guns and explosives were left in a stolen car right here.
The money was there too.
The seller never met the buyer.
We know about the car thanks to a surveillance camera.
We got a face? - Unfortunately no.
We have footages from banks, shops and clubs.
Once we know where they took the car, the area will expand.
We gotta follow the car.
We'll sleep some other time then, we need to get an address.
Need help? - No, I got men covering everything.
It's all we could do for tonight.
See you in the morning.
- Louise Yes? Close the door.
Sorry about my behavior.
- It's normal, we're all nervous.
The man who kidnapped me was my best trainee.
What? His name was Ahmad, a funny guy.
Insolent at times he could charm you.
But how - We used to train local soldiers, to better handle all situations.
Strong and willing to learn.
We thought they were grateful.
Sometimes one of them would shoot the officer who trained him.
Out of the blue? We talked, we laughed we told stories.
We showed each other family pictures.
And the whole time they just saw us as the enemy.
They were just waiting to kill us.
He kept me in that hole beat me up all the time He starved me pissed on me Ahmad did everything he could to break me.
There were times when I got back home I couldn't either sleep or stay awake.
Philip I keep thinking that man is Ahmad but I can't tell if it's just my nightmare! I need you to be here, Louise help me keep things separate Hey I need to go now.
Thanks for the nice evening.
See you in the afternoon.
- Yes.
Thanks for motivating me.
- You're welcome.
I'll try to get your father out and I'll keep the crowdfunding up.
Nothing.
It ends in Tomsgårdsvej.
There's a gas station, do we have that online? - No.
But we have a surveillance camera in Hovmestervej.
Try that one.
- Ok.
News? We know where the car was stolen.
From a yard right here.
- We just broadened the parameter.
I got something.
Move it forward.
There he is, let's see where he goes.
We have an address, let's move.
Call Cramer.
Sue, let everyone know the address.
Come on, Cramer! Here they go.
Team 1.
Team 2.
Clear.
There's nothing here.
- Let's get forensics.
S.
