The Killing

Detective Sarah Lund is about to move to Sweden with her boyfriend and son, but her plans are derailed when she receives a disturbing dispatch. When it’s discovered that a prominent politician might be connected, the case’s stakes get higher.

Theis and Pernille’s worst nightmare comes true when it’s confirmed that they’re 19-year-old daughter Nanna has been found. The car she is found in is linked to the office of mayoral candidate Troels. Sarah postpones her move for a week.

Sarah and Jan track down the driver of the car but Jan’s impatience deters the investigation. Troels and his political advisor, Rie, realize that confidential information is being leaked from their office. Is it the police or someone internal?

Sarah and Jan find suspicious evidence in the high school basement and zero in on Nanna’s ex-boyfriend Oliver and his friend Jeppe. Troels and Rie try to eliminate the leak as the crime begins to increasingly affect his campaign.

Sarah realizes that Nanna’s friend Lisa may be hiding something about the night Nanna disappeared. New information turns Sarah and Jan’s attention to another lead. Rie tries to steer Troel’s campaign out of trouble.

Troels lands in more trouble when someone who is part of his campaign becomes a suspect, and the police believe he tried to hide this information. As Pernille and Theis say goodbye to their daughter, Theis inserts himself in the case.
