01x04 - Malms skæbnedag

[bunniefuu]

There's a bodyguard,
two Bandidos bikers -

- a Satudarah biker
and a lawyer in your office ...

and they're in the process
of deciding Malm's future.

From the outside, that's a mildly put
sensational situation.

Yeah, and either they strip him of everything
he has and his entire family -

- or he gets a trip
to the woods. And that's that.

To document your ties to
the criminal underworld and upperworld -

- we've set up an office where
you will fall back into your role -

- as the criminals'
preferred advisor.

Nicolai.

He is one of the best lawyers
in the bankruptcy field.

The best thing for you is to deliver
an estate that's a hole in the ground.

I'll never get out of this life
if I don't do something.

- Lise.
- It's her.

It's my NemID. It's my name.
This is sh*t.

We need to give those guys
out there the money they're owed.

They're that Satudarah thing.
Jimmy calls them gangsters.

The long-haired guy thinks we're cheating
him. Which we kind of have.

Look where you're standing, you little
bum. I just want my money.

It's busy at Amira's small office
on Frederiksberg in Copenhagen.

I'm tired. I didn't get home until...
I didn't get to sleep until 12:30.

The champagne boy Martin Malm and
the Bandidos biker Jimmy Skjoldborg

- need capital.

Soon, the payment will be due
to the Horten lawyer Nicolai Dyhr.

He is supposed to shut down Malm's invoice factory
before the police discover anything.

Money is needed
to shut it down.

Yes, but we have to give the others
some too.

Then there's about 45,000 left.

But most of Malm's money
will go to Dyhr's fee -

- and other costs.

Then there isn't enough to also
pay the Bandidos biker Fasar -

- and Frankie, who has ties
to the biker club Satudarah.

Money still needs to be found for them.
People are angry. It's going to be a mess.

I might as well say it.
We have to come up with something.

I have four bottles of Cristal Rosé
lying around. They cost 20,000.

I'm really not trying
to paint a grim picture.

It's just that I get scared,
Martin, because they know where you live.

Look at all the people
sh**ting each other right now.

It's because of five kilos of hash.
All the way from the beginning.

But then the scenario is that we have to
use that money to pay them off -

- and then we'll have to see
what's left.

If another trustee
is appointed -

- he will find out
that it has been an invoice factory.

When Amira says the word "invoice factory",
Jimmy hides the phones.

Both he and Malm seem aware
of the risk of a prison sentence.

Especially if it's a
state-appointed trustee -

- and not Dyhr,
who handles the bankruptcies.

They're opening a Pandora's box,
even though we've hidden things well.

You can't hide that.

If things go wrong, it's just me
who has to take the blame for everything.

You're just not
very interesting to them.

The one that makes headlines,
that's him.

This won't do. It won't do.

The situation seems deadlocked.

It's hard to see how Malm
and Jimmy can avoid a trip behind bars -

- and at the same time ensure
that Fasar and Frankie -

- don't become unpleasantly
insistent in their debt collection.

Try to think ahead
with your knowledge of that environment.

What are the future prospects for Malm?

The problem is, when you're in such a
situation, you can't think clearly.

You only create
more problems.

You only create bigger problems for
yourself, and they never end well.

Then it's easier to believe
that everything will be alright.

Then you don't have to
deal with a lot of things.

That's also why you go
further in your actions.

It gets wilder and wilder because
it has to cover up something else.

You see it at the office, too.
It gets dumber and dumber.

Speaking of wilder and dumber -

- a huge storm is brewing
at Amira's office.

Hi.

Yesterday after midnight,
I get a call from a friend -

- who says
that Fasar is looking for me.

I'm like:
"Looking for me? For what?"

Then I get an email from Jimmy:

"Things are bad with F, so turn off
your phone and keep the office closed."

"I'm coming with him, Lise and M.
You shouldn't meet him alone."

"It will end very badly.
I'll gather us all tomorrow."

What does Jimmy mean by:
"It could end very badly?"

It could mean: It's really bad,
he wants to liquidate you.

It could also mean that he's just
babbling on the phone.

It can change
from one day to the next -

- and it could be that I'm
absolutely fantastic tomorrow.

A heavy blanket of crisis mode settles
over the office in Frederiksberg.

It seems that Malm and Jimmy's
money problems could also become Amira's.

Can you take this meeting
with Fasar now? Are you comfortable with it?

It has to be taken. The alternative
is more unsettling, you could say.

It's more unsettling for me not
to know what he's thinking and believing.

It's more unsettling
with a crazy person -

- who doesn't think you're on his team.

Could he have something that we haven't
thought through or are aware of?

Yes, of course.
He lives in his own reality.

Everything is relative.

- Well, we'll see.
- Yeah, it's all just crazy.

Take care of yourself.
We've set things up
that will also take care of you.

But for God's sake,
stay in that office, right?

I don't quite know how we're going to
handle it with the long-haired guy.

Say I was just here. You can
call me. I'll be waiting downstairs.

I'll do that. I mean, it
seems a bit like an ambush, you know.

- Yes.
- I just have to...

try to reconcile us all.

- Yeah, I'm going for a drive, so...
- Yeah.

I'm just in the area.
I'm just going for a drive.

Deal.

The next to arrive
is Fasar's lawyer, Lise -

- who apparently has also
been summoned to the meeting.

What unfolds from here -

- is the longest and most chaotic day
in the entire office's existence.

Exciting. I think some of it
has to do with those transfers.

Yeah, with Martin or what? Yeah.

He already knew that
when he was at my place.

Then it was just that I should
think carefully and be cautious.

- Hi, Fasar.
- Hi, Lise.

- How are you?
- Fine. What about you?

Quiet and calm.

As if the guest list wasn't
intimidating enough already -

- Fasar shows up
with an unannounced companion.

He has convictions for, among other things,
aggravated as*ault, threats, and extortion.

For today's occasion, he's apparently
acting as a bodyguard for Fasar.

- Should we just close the door?
- It doesn't matter.

- Let me just hear from you, Lise.
- Yes?

What's wrong
with my company?

Only now does it become clear what
Fasar's agenda really is.

He has found out that Amira
and Lise have conspired -

- to shut down his company.

- We need to shut that down.
- Yes, we do. 100%.

And with the help of a compliant trustee,
bury the money laundering once and for all.

I can persuade them
to let me appoint a trustee.

Won't I get into trouble for that?
Will he be understanding about it?

It's someone who kind of
turns a blind eye. Someone we can control a bit.

If that's the case, then I think
it's the right thing to do, because...

it's a mess.
To put it plainly.

You said that you were informed
that this company is going bankrupt.

We've talked about it maybe being
advantageous for it to go bankrupt.

Why?

- To sort of clean things up.
- In what?

Then there might be some payments...
The bank knows more than I do.

that might have been
a bit suspicious.

Excuse me, what the f*ck do you think
you're doing? What do you know about our company?

Why are you saying there's so much?
How do you know that?

I just need to interrupt.

- You are not to interrupt me.
- I never sit alone...

You need to explain to me
where you got those words from.

You told me.
Right now you have Alzheimer's.

Either you got them from someone, or
you came up with it yourself.

- What did I say?
- Amira came and said:

"There's so much sh*t in it
that it's best it goes bankrupt".

- What kind of sh*t is that?
- I didn't say that.

Stop.
I am much smarter than you.

What is it that we are
supposed to meet this woman about?

- To clear the air.
- I got that. About what?

I almost don't know.

What you two have been up to
with false rumors... Hey, hey, hey!

Do you have no respect, Lise?
It doesn't sound like it.

When you're about to laugh.

- I'm not.
- I hope not.

You shouldn't do that.

Although the seconds feel like minutes,
Fasar has only just begun.

The agitated biker has
another score to settle with Amira.

I told you something
when I met you again.

You decide which way we go.
This is my daughter!

I need to call the Ministry of Immigration
and Integration -

- because I need to get a
citizenship certificate for my baby.

I am going on a pilgrimage
on October 3rd from Pakistan.

His daughter needs
Danish citizenship and a Danish passport.

I have promised to help with that.

Sister, this is very important.

I want to take her with me
on the pilgrimage. I have to go.

I'm not going to listen to you.
I've called them.

I've had a lawyer call them.

Now I ask again,
before you spout more crap.

If you'll just let me explain.
I'll send an email to them.

I didn't see that I used the wrong
email. It's the one on the website.

If the thing with my daughter
isn't sorted out today...

- It is sorted.
- Listen to what I'm saying.

Get it sorted, if you don't want
anything to get in your way.

For my daughter, you know...
I'll crush you with my bare hands.

Of course you will.
It's your child.

- Get this sorted today.
- I completely agree with you.

It's your child.

Amira, you know me
much better than others, right?

- I do.
- I don't want to show up here again.

No.

Get these things sorted,
or you're out of the picture.

If the matter with my daughter falls through
because of your actions...

- No.
- Then you're ready, right?

You should be glad
that I'm very composed, Amira, right?

- I need to talk to her alone.
- I'll just step out.

Now that we're at it.
Should you continue as my lawyer?

- I think you should decide that.
- You have to understand...

This meeting...
Lise, my question is...

If you're to continue as my lawyer,
you can't do this again.

No.

- So we agree on that?
- Yes, we agree on that.

Amira has been sent out of the room,
and in her own office, no less.

We hadn't imagined -

- that a sin of omission
in a citizenship case -

- would put our mole in danger.

Here, where everything
is about to fall apart -

- Amira gives a masterclass
in what she does best.

She finds her way back
into the circle of trust.

- I'm talking to them now.
- Just come in.

Two seconds.
Just so you can get it confirmed yourself.

There was a wrong e-mail on
their website, which they are removing.

- And they have received it now...
- What date did they receive it?

- So that's as of today?
- They've had it since October 2nd.

- Sit down.
- I just need to finish talking.

I have sent a receipt showing
that it was sent to you on October 2nd.

That's fine, Amira. Just don't
put me in that corner again.

Sorry.
Four o'clock?

You too, Lise. Don't put me
in a situation like that again.

- We are grown-ups.
- Absolutely.

- What have you written?
- I need to talk to you alone.

- Should I step out?
- We'll just step in here.

With Fasar's pulse settled,
the problem remains -

- which we thought was the cause
of Fasar's threatening behavior:

Martin Malm's missing payments.

Martin got money. He made
us believe he didn't get it.

Jimmy says:
"Call when Fasar is with you."

"I want to explain
that I don't know anything."

That's right. Last Friday...
I can see that this...

It's making him tremble.

Amira is on shaky ground.

She has to ensure Malm's survival -

- without putting herself
and her cover in unnecessary danger.

And on top of that,
she has to accommodate Jimmy.

Call him.
Just ask him to come.

It's because he's upset
that you're not answering him.

No, it's because I've had enough
of all of you.

But he didn't know,
I just want to tell you.

No, but he's the one
who's responsible.

Hello.

You're on speakerphone.
Do you want to come by?

Can you come by?

- Yes, I can.
- See you.

- I have my friend with me.
- That's fine. Bye.

- What's up?
- Hello.

She is my lawyer.
You can just come in.

- Have you heard?
- What?

- My name is Amira.
- Usman.

He is Kalle's cousin.
He is Frankie's cousin.

Usman Sharif has a prior conviction
for cocaine trafficking.

And at this time, he is
affiliated with the biker club Satudarah -

- just like his business partner
Frankie, to whom Malm owes money.

In addition, according to Fasar, Usman
is in some kind of cousin relationship -

- with Kaleem Khan,
also known as Kalle -

- one of the absolute top figures
in Satudarah.

New headache.
New headache, I hear.

- Which one of them?
- The one with the money.

We are in the process of solving it.

- I assume you're here because...
- I know everything.

Almost everything.

Some money has come in
from Martin, about 900,000.

May I just...?
I just need
to talk to you two outside.

I just need
to ask them a few things.

Oops. Sorry.

You know that feeling when you think,
how did I end up here?

You have no idea how many
times I wake up with that thought.

Then you come home and think that it
was a completely normal day at the office.

You wonder if anyone
has normal days at the office.

He can't come, you know.
The money. How much do you have...?

- 350.
- That means it's about 500.


to save himself.

It's so that
there won't be a bankruptcy.

I thought he had borrowed it.
And the others are coming too.

I have explained it to him...

The money he's supposed to pay me,
I've lent to him.

All of this is to solve it
so you get the money that's owed -

- but at the same time, we have to make sure
he doesn't go to jail.

What Jimmy is trying to explain is
that there's an imminent danger -

- that they will all go down
with him if Malm goes to prison.

Therefore, the impatient creditors must
agree to the plan to -

- shut down Malm's companies
through the lawyer Nicolai Dyhr.

It's like a big puzzle,
and we're just about to solve it.

Either we solve it,
or we do it like this.

He's not going to take it out of my
money, is he? I've been waiting for seven months.

I'm just saying what has happened.
We have to take it as it comes.

You know I've been working on this
for six months to get everything...

To keep him out of jail.

Because it's a huge, huge...
And that's what's about to happen now.

I don't trust him anymore.

I could sense
that something was wrong.

I can understand
if you think I knew -

- that the money had arrived.
That I was about to screw you over.

Well, we're not having that meeting now.
Me and Lise will continue our meeting.

- Okay.
- I'll just go outside.

You can just stay seated.
We'll have a meeting afterwards.

While the jury deliberates on Martin Malm's
fate, Amira is back in the fold.

We need to get a copy
of my mental evaluation.

I would like to read it.

Fasar has a psychiatric diagnosis
of a severity -

- that for most people
would be a deal-breaker.

But for Fasar,
it holds possibilities.

If I had smashed you two, I would
say that I was feeling unwell.

Since the turn of the millennium, Fasar has been
convicted of a series of offenses -

- that collectively carry a penalty
of up to 55 years in prison.

Due to his diagnosis, he has time and
again been declared criminally insane -

- and has avoided prison.

In 2012, he was convicted of smuggling


Here, the court concluded
that it was his mental illness -

- that had caused him to do it,
and therefore Fasar avoided prison.

Previously, Fasar has hinted
that he uses his diagnosis -

- as a kind of
"get out of jail free" card.

I was in court in Odense.

When that judge
heard my testimony -

- she thought it was a pity for me.
The judge said to him:

"Stop it now. Can't you see
how vulnerable this person is?"

"I'm dropping all of this.
He should be allowed to go."

"He needs to take care of his illness."
Then she gave me a hug.

Did she give you a hug?

Yes, she thought
it was so sad for me.

I wasn't even wearing shoes.

We were afraid
they would see us laughing.

Oh, so you were acting?

Hard to believe.
But now we're listening in -

- while Fasar
and his lawyer plan -

- how his diagnosis will help
him get out of a money laundering case.

We need to find a balance.

I can't be so stupid
that the prosecutor says...

The prosecutor will probably figure it out.

If I were on the other side, I would
say that you were an actor.

I'm just saying you're fine.

- No, I'm not ill.
- That's what I'm saying.

I'm a little socially damaged,
but that's it.

Sensational in itself,
but that's only half of it.

Because soon the topic will shift to
Lise, as Fasar's defense lawyer -

- having access to
confidential documents from the police.

Do you want anything from that USB
before I leave?

Yes, of course.
That's the one I need to get into now.

You have no idea what that means.

- Come here. There are 1016 pages.
- How many?

- In total?
- Yes... No, then there's a little more.

Find Michael's...
interrogation report.

"Suspect Fasar.
A belt around the neck."

- Then you laugh.
- It wasn't a belt.

That's what you're laughing at.

I thought
you were laughing at something else entirely.

- Was it a dog collar?
- I walked him around like a dog.

sh*t.

Did you make him bark too?

- Yes.
- You're lying.

- I said: "Sit down."
- Did you give him a bone?

"Cover."
He was very cheeky.
Lise, let's move on.

I couldn't help but
laugh. Sorry.

I need his interrogation report.

What Fasar and Lise are amused by
is a charge of as*ault -

- to which Fasar
has pleaded not guilty -

- but now admits before our eyes.

The case also involved
money laundering of millions -

- but was dropped
when the accusations -

- were just one person's word against another's.

The case documents
should therefore have been destroyed -

- but defense attorney Lise
has kept a copy -

- of the 1016 pages of
investigative documents -

- with the names of all witnesses.

I could make a copy.

- Can you make it now?
- Do you have a USB stick?

- How do you do that?
- You just move it.

You know what, man? Listen up.
You guys need to understand one thing.

This involves 14 million kroner.
Plus seven snitches.

For me, it means everything.
I don't care about the money.

This Michael,
what's his relationship to you?

- Are you members of the same thing?
- The little wh*re is a snitch.

- He's a snitch, okay.
- Yeah, are you crazy?

There are more people involved.

Hells Angels from Italy are involved,
South Zealand Bandidos -

- something called the Death Patrol
from Sweden, and LTF are involved.

They have heard
that there are 17 million kroner.

- It's just...
- Those are fictitious numbers.

They don't think beyond that.

There's no one who knows
I have this.

So you need to have a meeting
with them to sort things out.

I will come to a meeting
with my documentation in order.

Then I will ask you: "Lise, did you
transfer any money to Amira?"

"No, I haven't."
Someone is taking notes on that.

- It's like a real...
- A real company.

And you can't make mistakes.

Fasar's lawyer provides confidential
investigative documents to Fasar.

Normally, when you have to read
the defense's copies -

- you have to sit with
a lawyer who must supervise -

- that you are the only one
who has access to those documents.

You're not allowed to have your phone out.
You're not allowed to take pictures of them.

You should not be able to leave that room
without the lawyer being 100% sure -

- that the papers do not leave the premises,
and that there is no trace of them.

He needs them in a kind of
extra-governmental conflict resolution council -

- where Hells Angels, Bandidos, Loyal
to Familia and the Death Patrol are present.

A hearing
where minutes are taken.

It takes place somewhere where you're
sure there's no wiretapping.

It takes place without cars.
Without mobile phones.

So you meet in a cemetery
or in a field.

Then you talk down by the beach where
there's wind and people can't hear.

The joker is that no one knows that I
have this USB. And then I will say:

"Ah, Lise. Are you sure about that?"
"Yes. I am."

Because you're convinced that I
have no evidence against you.

Suddenly I pull out
some excerpts and say:

"Is your name Michael... and were you questioned
on such and such a day?

"Did you say that?" That he had
a belt around his neck?"

Then you're branded as a liar,
and then you get completely smashed.

- But Lise doesn't know a thing about that.
- You should come along one day.

- You'll get the original?
- Yes.

When I stick it into
something, what then?

Then nothing.
Then it opens the files.

"Okay, money laundering of a particularly..."
Yes, come in. "Threats. Violence."

You can hop over here.

"Threats..." Amar, Amar, Amar.
Okay, threats.

What does all that mean? "Prosecutor
documents from the case file."

- Then I've got it!
- All the exhibits are in the other one.

"The accused explains that he has through
Michael..." Filthy pig. Here!

"Corroborated
with examples of the accused..."

Is that the one
you got by mistake?

No, I stole this
from my lawyer.

- He tried to be careful.
- Everyone is in on this...

- I don't want to know.
- ...as they go around talking about.

- No one knows I have this.
- Then don't tell anyone.

It's only you who knows.
I intend to ask them at the meeting:

"Did you say such and such?"
"No, we didn't."

Then it gets weird, right?

After all these skirmishes,
the elephant in the room now awaits -

- Martin Malm.

The only thing I want with this
is to confirm -

- that I am in the process
of resolving these things.

Will it be resolved?

I hope so.
But I'm not promising anything.

I'll k*ll him
if he pulls any stunts.

Lise, can't you go out
and have a cup of coffee?

Thank you so much. That was
a nice way of putting it.

That's just fine.
I asked for it myself.

- Thanks.
- Yes, let me hear.

If he is declared bankrupt
without us having control of the trustee -

- then the trustee will come to... I have
all the folders. They are in an archive.

- Burn them, man.
- Yeah, because there are invoices.

- No.
- All that...

There's all sorts of stuff.
So where do these come from?

If he opens his mouth...

- Then we're all finished.
- f*ck the money.

f*ck the money.
Are you stupid?

Just look at your age.

- It is what it is. It's over...
- Now it's too late.

No, why?
Back out. Throw the sh*t out.

You're well aware, right...
He won't keep his mouth shut.

The gravity has finally dawned on Fasar.

He appears shocked by the possible
consequences for both him and Jimmy -

- if Malm goes to prison.

- Yeah, it's...
- It's certain death.

- I didn't know that.
- You know I finish things.

It is what it is.
I take things as they come.

I've gotten a hold of him. But I just
can't get a hold of him more than I am.

I was just about to say:
"Be a little careful now."

We need to get this resolved.
If this is to be resolved -

- so we can control it,
then I have pointed to a lawyer -

- and I would like to attend the meetings.

- Who is this trustee?
- Nicolai Dyhr. Partner at Horten.

We've had a meeting with him.
He has said OK.

- See you, sister.
- Can you understand it better?

- Yes.
- Thanks.

I'm just going to have a smoke,
then I'll come in.

There was no reason for me to wait.
I could have left.

- I asked him...
- What was that?

- What the f*ck just happened?
- Can you give a summary?

That there, that's madness.
I think...

- I don't know what I think.
- I'm completely dizzy.

The day-long madness meeting
is finally adjourned.

Jimmy is beaming with relief, now that
he has escaped being blamed -

- for Malm's missing payments.

- You f*cking owe me.
- Man, I'm so tired.

- Didn't I just play that well?
- Yes, it was absolutely perfect.

This is so crazy. You owe big
time. But I played it well, right?

It was excellent.
I'm just tired now.

People don't understand anything.
But he understands something now. A little.

That's a damn sick picture.

Only when you cut out the heart
can you think rationally.

Can't you see that she's colder
in her gaze than the other one?

- Then you can think about it.
- Exactly.

- What is that she's holding?
- It's a picture of a child.

You can't be cold
if you have a family.

But you can
if you don't have one.

That says a lot about me.
That's me before, and that's me now.

I really, really
appreciate all of this.

There's nothing else to do.
You can't work magic.

I can't.
What I find annoying is -

- that I feel like I'm in a waiting position.
I'm waiting for others to do something.

Because it's like... Because you can't
do things yourself, right?

- Yeah, I get it.
- It's so frustrating.

In the time after the crazy meeting,
dice are being rolled for Malm's fate -

- between the
invoice factory's stakeholders.

- He's going to prison, that guy.
- Yes, he is.

That's why I'm saying,
get away. There's nothing.

He just has to find the money.

He is owed 1 million.
He's gotten 900 out.

How many sessions
have we had leading up to this?

Now he has lied directly to our
faces. There's no mercy.

Now he's going to f*cking pay.

I can't do more
than I'm doing.

It's only because of you
that I don't want to smash that guy!

We also have to be careful
about what we do.

- That's what I mean.
- He's under pressure.

So the first thing he does is open his
mouth with threats, piss and sh*t.

Then people get locked up. None of
us are interested in that.

- We'll take that one.
- You'll have to coordinate that.

Even if everything works out today,
you won't get your money next week.

- Hey, sis.
- Hello, how's it going?

Frankie said
I should tell you -

- that they were glad you've
been honest. They've closed it off.

This has to happen quickly now.
We need to get this resolved now.

This is...
It just needs to be resolved.

So I'll hand in those two today -

- I mean on the Holding Company
and on Consulting.

The status on Dyhr is that on the 7th
I'm supposed to meet him in there.

- I think I'll go with you.
- Yeah.

With a relatively unanimous group of investors
behind them, Malm and Amira meet -

- with Horten lawyer Nicolai Dyhr
at the Maritime and Commercial High Court in Copenhagen.

Where before there was talk of -

- the lawyer closing down
all eight of Malm's companies -

- it's now only two of them.

But these are companies that, according to
Malm himself, are part of the invoice factory.

Then there's a lot
going on back and forth.

Salaries and a lot of intercompany accounts.

I've made it incredibly complex
with eight companies.

Later at Amira's office,
Malm went into more detail -

- and explained to Dyhr how he made
the dirty money disappear -

- by sending it on -

- to the online payment platform
November First.

I ran it through a system
called November First.

The transactions from the account
look like a transfer service.

You have to be pretty sharp to see
that there has been anything at all.

When we take a closer look at one of the
companies Dyhr ended up closing -

- Malm Consulting, we can see
that in less than a month -

- more than 3 million has disappeared
from the company's account.

Money that was transferred to November
First, exactly as Malm explained.

But none of this is mentioned during
the 13 minutes the court hearing lasts.

Shortly after, the trio steps out into the gateway.
Dyhr has been appointed as trustee.

With this, Martin Malm seems to be
heading towards a brighter future.

Then you can move on and
concentrate on your business -

- and make a fortune.
That's much more fun.

If you try to put yourself
in Malm's shoes, how is he feeling?

When a lie has gone well, and
a criminal act has gone well -

- then there's something
in a person that thinks:

"Tomorrow, I'll hit it big."

And that's what most of them live on.
It's the idea that:

Any minute now, all the millions will come.

- Hi, Amira.
- Hello. How's it going?

I think things are going unusually
well right now. It's going to be huge.

Martin Malm
is sh**ting for the stars again.

He celebrates his rebirth
with the opening of a new company.

The premises are new,
but seem to contain the same.

So are you going to have your own office
in the back? No, you don't want that.

No, there should be nothing
with me.

It shouldn't be said
that it's a biker shop.

I'm not going to...
Other than some craftsmen.

The ones you know.

Yeah, I do things without...
People don't need to see that.

No.

We leave Martin Malm here.
At the top of his game -

- where he takes the first steps
towards his next adventure.

The fact that we have a system...
There aren't many others who have that.

Jimmy?
Have you heard that so many times?

Now we need to confirm that the
compliant trustee, Nicolai Dyhr -

- is ready to bury Martin Malm's
financial crime -

- in "a hole in the ground".

We still need to hand over the
paper trail of Malm's invoice factory.

That is, all the documents
that Amira, with cunning and skill -

- had brought in by the boxload
by the masterminds of the invoice factory.

What Martin is nervous about, right...?

Now I'm speaking plainly,
so you're also aware of what it is.

He's been running an invoice factory.
That means -

- that he has received a lot of money
from different companies.

I have collected all the bank statements,
you'll get those too.

Do you think
that's a problem for him?

It could be,
but I'm not doing anything about it.

But I do have
some rather zealous estate secretaries.

It's not something
they normally notice.

But what he has done...
I've just pulled it up.

If you look deep into it, you can
see what has been going on.

Of course, that requires
that you know what it is.

- Yes, that you're looking for it.
- Yes, exactly.

But everything is here anyway.
Everything he has.

- He's really odd.
- He's a funny guy.

I also got a nice Christmas and
New Year's greeting from him and everything.

- Yes, he is a bit special.
- Yes.

I just wanted to make you
aware of it -

- so you don't get into trouble and problems.
So you know what's there.

I'm fully aware of that.
I'm doing what I can to shut it down.

I just hired someone from Kromann
Reumert. She has a grade point average over 10.

She was like... She wanted to
work less than 70 hours a week.

- That's okay.
- You can do that.

- But she's managing fine?
- She starts on February 1st.

It might be a good thing that this
is closed before she arrives.

We don't want anyone
who's too bright, do we?

No, then they'll find out.

That's fine.
We'll take this with us.

Then hopefully it will end up
in some remote storage.

Yes. And then we hope you manage to do
it before the A-student girl arrives.

Yes, exactly, right?

Here we get to see how the lawyers
Lise Roulund and Nicolai Dyhr -

- they ensure in their own ways -

- that their
respective clients survive.

If you look at the recordings
with Nicolai Dyhr and me...

There's no difference
between who I was and him.

He just sits in a nicer place
with a view of the water.

So without lawyers who are willing to
bend corners or look the other way -

- then all of this would come to a halt?

Yes. The anti-g*ng packages should include
provisions for someone like me.

We're the ones
who make it all go around.

Now I'm just going to speak my mind.
He's been running an invoice factory.

Do you think
that's a problem for him?

It could be,
but I'm not doing anything about it.

But I do have
some zealous estate secretaries.

But it's not something
they normally notice.

It might seem a little strange -

- but they are really skilled.
They notice it right away.

So why are you saying the opposite here?

To gain Amira's trust.

Are we back to the method
you've talked about?

To humor them a bit
and lure them into a fold?

Yes, absolutely.

This method, does it have a name?

I call it the eel trap.

There have been articles written about it
at Harvard University.

You continue talking about
how you've hired an A-student girl.

I've just hired someone from Kromann
Reumert. She has an average of over ten.

She starts on February 1st. It's good
that this is closed before then.

We don't want anyone
who's too bright, do we?

Then they'll find out.

Why should the bright girl
be involved?

It's on my way out that I say it -

- to assure Amira that she can
hand it over to me with peace of mind.

The truth is, I go straight back
to my office -

- and put it on the table
of two skilled colleagues.

Is this the eel trap in its ultimate form?
Is that how it works?

You can go so far out
that you say these things?

- You can easily do that.
- Can you go any further?

Everything is subjective in that sense.

I've become a trustee in a bankruptcy estate.
I have to secure the estate's material.

They go bankrupt.
You get appointed.

You have to submit reports.

In the first ones, you mention nothing about...
or inform the police -

- about these matters.
Why not?

Because we do our job
well and thoroughly.

Something happens
after we request access to documents.

You are informed that TV 2 is now seeking
access to those reports.

A few days later, you inform
the police about some matters.

That has nothing to do with your access request.
You request it on March 1st.

Prior to that, I had already
in the spring and summer -

- the year before tried
to pursue intercompany claims.

I have reported and started
bankruptcy disqualification cases.

I am preparing the police report
earlier in November.

We were waiting for a ruling regarding
Martin Malm, which we wanted to attach.

So the notification has nothing
to do with us requesting access to documents?

No.
I believe
I have done it well and honestly.

But I have decided
to write to the Maritime and Commercial High Court -

- that doubt can be cast
on my impartiality.

I can see that the statements
at the meeting you recorded -

- under, in my opinion,
unlawful circumstances -

- mean that doubt can be cast
on my impartiality.

If that's the case, I must step down.

The eel trap method,
is it widely known in Horten?

Is Horten aware
that you use it?

I can't tell you that.

There are other trustees in Denmark
who use it.

Is the management at Horten aware
that you use the eel trap method?

Yes, they are.

Does it align with Horten's values?

I think so.
Yes, I believe so unconditionally.

Many of my colleagues know
that I use that method.

It's not an unusual method.
Many lawyers use it.

- Hi, Mads.
- What's going on?

- Is he still there?
- Yes.

It's like being in
a bad movie.

We need to talk about this.

You have to choose your players.

He looked in.

She is everything she says
she wants to fight.

I'm tired of lying.

If you think you can fool me,
you can think again.

We have to tell everything.

Who's playing whom?
