Raben is tracking his wife’s movements and Special Branch, in turn, is tracking Raben’s. Justice Minister Thomas Buch faces the consequences of his predecessor’s desperate actions and decides to go out on a limb in response – when a journalist steps forward to reveal a macabre, and thus unknown, fact relating to the suppressed military investigation. Having been taken off the case, Lund continues to chase the perpetrator but finds herself in danger. Thomas Buch is still in the hot seat and tries to uncover the mysterious motivations of his predecessor, former justice minister Monberg. Now the sole survivor of his former squad, Jens Peter Raben realises that the preacher lied about his acquaintance with Anne Dragsholm. Lund is convinced that the body of the fallen soldier, Per K Moller, is not the one in the buried coffin and orders it to be exhumed. Will he agree to the new draconian measures against his own better judgement? Top police brass and Special Branch interfere with the investigation, but Lund persists and has a breakthrough when she suddenly sees the case from a new angle. Having lost face with the prime minister, Buch is pressured into passing the much-negotiated anti-terrorism bill. But Raben himself is on the same mission. Lund and Strange travel to Sweden to question and protect the only other surviving member of Raben’s former army squad. Justice minister Thomas Buch, still under pressure, discovers some key secrets about his predecessor.

But Special Branch is no longer convinced that police have the right suspect. In parliament, young justice minister Thomas Buch must fend off accusations of a cover-up regarding a previously unpublished Special Branch memo.Īfter yet another gruesome murder is discovered, all clues indicate that the perpetrator of the first two killings may be responsible. When an Islamist activist is arrested as the main murder suspect, Lund and her partner Strange disagree on the direction of the investigation. Having escaped from Herstedvester Prison, Jens Peter Raben sets out to track down a member of his former army squad.

Meanwhile at Herstedvester Prison, Jens Peter Raben is still in isolation when he finds out that his friend has been murdered. In parliament, while in the middle of complicated political negotiations, Buch deals with the publicised terror threat and a possible connection to Islamist fundamentalists. Sarah Lund and Ulrik Strange start to investigate the possibility of a link between the two. The police now have two murder cases, both victims having military backgrounds. At the same time, soldier Jens Peter Raben awaits release from the psychiatric ward he was committed to following a nervous breakdown. As police grapple with what few clues they possess, newly-appointed Minister for Justice, Thomas Buch, strives to oversee some intricate political negotiations between parliamentary parties over the introduction of a series of new anti-terrorism laws. Initially reluctant, Lund soon becomes engrossed with the case. Two years after former detective Sarah Lund was divested of her investigative role and transferred to a low-key job in the country, the body of a female lawyer is found murdered in macabre and puzzling circumstances and Lund’s former boss at Copenhagen police HQ finds that he has no choice but to call her back in to assist with the investigation.
