Yup! The show got an iEmmy about a week ago. It was nominated as best foreign language drama, I think.

And well deserved, I must say! It's a great show - unfortunately it is now on "stand by" and new episodes won't be released until next fall :-/

Karina

*SPOILER - SPOILER - SPOILER - SPOILER*

Hallgrim survived the murder attack and is now in between life and death. Marie watches over him and breaks down when she discovers that Hallgrim has bought the ring she was looking at in Sweden. That was the one saving his life! While being unconsious, Hallgrim gets a visit from the dead Sergej, who has come to pick him up. But Hallgrim won't give in and slowly his condition improves.

A vitness from Hallgrim's hotel heard the killer say that he should tell Hallgrim "Hi" from Tomas - the new clan leader. In the police force's special departement everyone is shocked by the Kraschnice clan actually making their blood revenge come truth. With Frandsen in the lead a huge European police action takes its beginning. They are planning on stressing the clan network to make them say who was behind the attack at Hallgrim. Meanwhile Josip pays a visit to Jack Greene to order another murder. He wants Tomas out of the way to get the power himself, which Jack finds rather pathetic.

Despite his situation and Marie's protests Hallgrim insist on following the investigation. He sense that he and his colleagues have missed something important. Still the police acts simultaneously in several European capitals and the disturbance in the environment around pushers, prostitutes and "business people" starts the wanted panic.

Suddenly Hallgrim's condition changes to the worse. Of the eyes of Marie Hallgrim is rushed to surgery. While being operated his heart rythm disappears and Hallgrim has a near death experience. Sergej picks him up and shows him Hades, where he meets his mother and himself as a child. The mother asks for his forgiveness and gets it. Hallgrim chooses to return to life and after a moment of heart silence his heart beats return, and the surgery is a success.

Josip calls Nazim and asks him to stop the police actions. He informs Nazim about where to find the killer. Nazim also wants Tomas, but Josip wants to take care of him himself. When the police gets to the place, they find Greene murdered.

Meanwhile Josip has gone to Berlin to get rid of the last hurdle. He calls Tomas to arrange a meeting, but since the police listens in on Josip's phone, Tomas is traceable, too. Hallgrim just manage to warn Tomas, before it's too late. Instead Tomas shoots Josip before the police arrives.

Even though, Hallgrim is tired he asks Marie to stay. He gives the ring to her followed by the words: "Do you want to?". She kisses him, but don't reply to his proposal.

Hi Ricky,

I don't know if the episodes are in another order... I wouldn't think so, because then a lot of the story wouldn't make sense.

The order is like this:

Season 1
Ep. 1 - Sisyfos
Ep. 2 - Sisyfos
Ep. 3 - Skylla
Ep. 4 - Ifigenia
Ep. 5 - Ares
Ep. 6 - Ares
Ep. 7 - Nemesis
Ep. 8 - Hades

Season 2
Ep. 9 - Kronos
Ep. 10 - Kronos
Ep. 11 - Erinye
Ep. 12 - Agamemnon
Ep. 13 - Agamemnon
Ep. 14 - Agamemnon
Ep. 15 - Keres
Ep. 16 - Keres

Let me know which one is the one, you're looking for and I'll translate the right summary for you :-D

Hi Ricky,

Well, I guess you get 2 episodes at a time on ZDF then... normally each episode is just a little less than an hour including all intro.

The following is the summaries of the two episodes with codename Keres.



*SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER*

Episode 15

Intelligence tell that there is a reasonable bomb threat towards a community house at Noerrebro where a suicide bombing will take place at a wedding party the same day. The host is an iraqi professor who soon will return to Beirut as a possible minister in the future government. According to intelligence the bomber, called The Dane, is a refugee with a deportaion sentence. RSA only has 4 hours to prevent the attack which will result in unbearable consequences. It looks like an impossible task, and Holsoe wants to cancel the party. But Hallgrim doubts, and when the professor himself indicate that he will be in a lot more danger in Iraq, Hallgrim lets the party preparations continue - though under maximum surveillance and with a "plan b" that cancels the the party if The Dane hasn't been found less than an hour before the wedding.

Hallgrim just rented a house from the Norwegian heiress of a shipping company, Estrid Eriksen, when Frida shows up wanting to talk to him about something important. But Hallgrim is busy, so she doesn't get to tell him that she is pregnant, before Marie shows up to pick him up. The meeting between the two women makes Marie blaim Frida that she broke up the relationship between Marie and Hallgrim.

In the middle of a hectic investigation Sam Johnson - CIA's man in the Middle East - arrives at RSA. He wants to talk to Hallgrim and Marie about his son Bob Johnson, one of the 16 PMCs who have been captured in Congo. Sam Johnson has also been informed about the present case by Michael. Sam knows the Iraqi man and thinks that RSA underestimates the threat. He offers his help, and RSA accepts.

Meanwhile, Nazim hears about a possible suspect through his sources in the immigration environment: The deported Ziad Melhem, who has recently been observed in Denmark carrying a great amount of cash to buy a car. When Ziad's picture shows up at RSA, Sam Johnson recognizes him as the person who is called The Dane in Jordan. The hunt for Ziad begins and when the psycologial profile shows that Ziad is extreme, Thea cuts to the bone and order the wedding cancelled despite Hallgrim protesting.

Ziad arrives at the community house and park the recently bought Mercedes. Holsoe has him in sight, ready to shoot, but then the whole thing is called off: Ditte and Frandsen have interrogated Ziad's parents and inform that Ziad is engaged to the sister of the bride and is a guest at the wedding. The car is a wedding present. Ziad is no longer under suspicion. At the same time Sam Johnson's car arrives with Michael behind the wheel. During the drive he has praised Michael for his un-danish way of being able to act from to an order wihtout asking questions. Michael doesn't know about Dittes information, and thinking that Ziad will detonate the bomb with his cell phone, Michael shoots Ziad - strongly encouraged by Sam Johnson! The mission has got an innocent victim.

Thea brings Straede to the public prosecutor to figure out the circumstances of Michael killing Ziad. After the meeting Straede admits that the Police Intelligence Service knew that Sam Johson was extremely unbalanced after the very humiliating death of his other son in Iraq and RSA should have been warned. It serves Michael's defense, but the Americans will never let this knowledge be a part of the case. In return the Police Intelligence Service has a new profile of The Dane: Williams Hoest Pedersen, convicted of murder and converted to Hafiz, elite muslim, in prison.

Michael is deeply touched by the incident and will be spending the next period of time at Marie's house. At Hallgrimson's Eigilson shows up, wanting to move in with him. Hallgrim confronts his father with the time when the father raped Hallgrim's girlfriend, Isbjoerg. Eigilson epologies by saying that she wasn't innocent herself. She was already pregnant - with Hallgrim - and was having an abortion the day after.


Episode 16

RSA investigates the terror threat on Denmark. But when Hallgrim is supposed to interrogate Sam Johnon, he has left - and apparently he was thrown out of CIA long ago and is now wanted by the police all over the World. Both RSA and the Police Intelligence Service were blinded by the American, and the P.I.S. even delivered a report to him. At first Straede doesn't think that the threat is critical, but if Hallgrim saw Hoest in the airport, the situation might be critical after all. The terror cells call Hoest The White Prince of Denmark and he is expected to stage a terror attack which will result in world wide TV coverage.

Hoest is in Denmark and calls Sam Johnson when he has found a car with a fake ID and a bagpack with explosives. Sam gives Hoest the first digits to a bank account and Sam in return writes down "9:30" and "Ofelia" and the steamy mirror in the hotel bathroom. After that Hoest contacts Amina - a former criminal and now strongly believing muslim - who Hoest met in a chatroom while both being in prison.

In RSA Hallgrim discovers the connection between Hoest and Sam Johnson, when the surveillance cameras from the airport show them talking to each other on the phone. Through the hotel alarms RSA finds out that Sam Johnson is still in the country, but he manages to escape before the police gets to the hotel.

Hoest informs Amina that she will be using the explosives to carry out a terror action which will give her the ticket to Paradise. While focusing on the assignment she and the Danish-Iraqi children committee go on a bus trip to Skaane Animal Park. Afterwards Hoest calls Sam Johnson and gets the second part of the bank account number.

It appears that the report, which P.I.S. delivered to Sam Johnson was about a certain Amina. Meanwhile Ditte finds "9.30 am" and "Ofelia" on Sam's mirror. Even though he is suspended, Michael starts working - and finds Amina's name and information about the bus trip at the committee website. Everyone starts recognizing what might be happening. Surveillance by helicopter soon gives an idea of where the bus is at this very moment and it also shows Hoest driving very close to the bus - being able to detonate the bomb if Amina looses her courage.

Ofelia is the name of the ferry by which the bus will be going. Hallgrim has almost solved the puzzle and he sees that Hoest is aiming for worldwide TV coverage by staging the Hamlet myth: The white prince of Denmark will blow up Ofelia while passing Kronborg castle - resulting in a large number of casualties.

The terror action must be avoid, and Hallgrim plans how: With the help from Frandsen's cousin Lars from Elsinore Police they will simulate an accident on the road which will create a distance between the bus and Hoest, so that he cannot detonate the bomb from his position. Afterwards they need to puncture a tire on the bus to be able to free the children.

Meanwhile, Straede has found the connection between Hoest and Sam Johnson: during an interrogation Sam let Hoest go in return for Sam using Hoest. Sam has money from Francis the 3rd Milton Foundation - an American oil billionaire who wants to use terror to increase the hate agains Arabs and through that getting his hands on the oil.

During the dramatic mission, Lars is knocked down by Hoest who steals his car. Lars needs to shoot in order to stop Hoest who dies immediately. The bus punctures and via the cell phone Hallgrim informs the leader of the trip about the situation - the children must leave the bus without Amina suspects anything and detonates the bomb. All children get out safely, but Amina stays in the bus. She will die! Despite the danger Hallgrim enters the bus and talks her from detonating the bomb.

If a terror action should reach the whole world there must be a photographer on the scene - and so there is! When Hallgrim and Holsoe reaches the harbour in Elsinore they find Sam who is arrested and handed over to P.I.S. Hallgrim looks forward to having a terror leader prosecuted, but Thea tells him that Sam will be handed over to the Americans. However, during the interrogations he has admitted his responsibility in the case against Michael. The extradition makes Hallgrim furious, but the decision has been made in the top of the system.

In the private life nothing looks easy for Hallgrim either. Eigilsson tells him that Frida is pregnant - information that Hallgrim not really handles very well. He will take responsibility of a child - but what about his relationship with Frida?

That was it :-D

Hi Vicente,

I don't know if it's available with English subtitles, but you can write to them and ask. This email should go directly to DR who's behind the series, and I guess they can pass it on to someone who knows if they can't help you themselves.
