The Bridge

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 Sabroe starts to investigate the macabre murder with his Danish colleague, Jonas Mandrup.

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.

Henrik and Saga suspect that Taariq and the disappeared expert on radical leftist groups are hiding something, and they cooperate when it comes to revealing this, but they are not on the same page in regards to how they should handle the homeless girls, who are still refusing to tell anyone their true identity.

Taariq recognises a car related to the case. He wants to push the owner for money but is himself accused of robbery. Saga fears there will be more murders and Henrik's efforts for the homeless girls ends in disappointment.

Saga and Hendrik keep searching for a link between the murder victims. Lilian is reprimanded by her superiors. The relationship between Saga and Hendrik is tested to the limit and may have hit its breaking point.

Henrik believes he found the connection between all victims and an unexpected finding ends up on the investigation board. At the same time, the crack between him and Saga is greater than ever.
