The Bridge

Almost two years later. A woman is brutally murdered on Pepparholm island at the base of the bridge. It turns out that the murdered woman is Margrethe Thormod, General Director of the Migration Agency in Copenhagen, and there may have found a motive in the scandal around a deportation decision that has gotten a lot of attention, and recently affected Margrethe personally.

Henrik and his new colleague, Jonas, continue to investigate Margrethe Thormod’s murder. Their two main leads are the radical leftist group, Red October, and the missing refugee, Taariq, who has gone underground after having his asylum application rejected. Margrethe’s husband Niels Thormod is grieving and doesn’t think that the police are doing enough to find Margrethe’s killer.

Richard, the Swedish journalist and expert on radical leftist groups is missing, but he suddenly turns up again and broadcasts live on the internet. He denies Red October’s involvement in the murder. Saga and Henrik question him and realize that what he is saying isn’t really accurate. Meanwhile, questioning continues with Taariq, who refuses to cooperate.

Taariq is still at large. He has recognized the car that kidnapped Margrethe Thormod, and seeks out the owner in order to extort him for money. The car owner, Morgan Sonning, says in questioning that he was robbed by Taariq, that the car was in a repair shop in Sweden on the date of the murder and that he and his wife were on a trip in Germany.

The number of suspects grows. The taxi driver, Dan Brolund, who drove Margrethe Thormod and was the last person to see her alive, turns out to have connections to another victim as well. He is brought in for questioning. At the same time, suspicions about the Sonning couple grow. It comes out that Mrs. Sonning knew Margarethe, as they sat on the same board, and competed for the chairman position.

Henrik thinks he has found the connection between all of the victims – everything relates to Tommy. All known people around Tommy are questioned and end up on the investigation board of suspects. They all have motive to seek revenge for Tommy’s death. Henrik discovers a completely unexpected, but well-known face on the investigation board.

The investigation on Tommy continues. Tommy’s mother, who is still in police custody, refuses to cooperate. She doesn’t talk to Saga or Jonas. The question is how long they can hold her if they don’t find any evidence. Niels Thormod comes up in the investigation again. It turns out that Niels has hired a private detective and hoped that he could find out something more than the police.

The homeless girls, who have met with psychologist Niels Thormod, now know who the killer is. They try to get in contact with Henrik, while at the same time the killer is looking for them. The girls have to run for their lives. Meanwhile, Saga finds a match for the killer’s fingerprint. Saga is on the killer’s trail.
