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.

Theis and Pernille's worst nightmare comes true when it's confirmed that their 19-year-old daughter Nanna has been found.

Sarah and Jan track down the car's driver, but Jan's impatience deters the investigation.

Sarah and Jan find suspicious evidence in the high school basement and zero in on Nanna's ex-boyfriend and his friend.

Sarah realizes that Nanna's friend may be hiding something about the night Nanna disappeared. 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.

Just when Jan thinks he's in charge of the case, Sarah returns after learning worrying information about Theis.

After Sarah and Jan find more damning evidence, Troels is presented with an ultimatum and his candidacy hangs in the balance. Just when Theis and Pernille believe that the case is coming to a close, something inexplicable happens.

Theis and Vagn have taken the law into their own hands, stalling the investigation. Troels's campaign undergoes a radical change.

Sarah and Jan pursue a vital new lead but are taken by surprise when someone unexpected intervenes. In her personal life, drastic personal changes affect Sarah. Meanwhile, Troels attempts to establish a new alliance.

Sarah discovers an apartment that provides crucial evidence in the case. Troels is under greater pressure than ever in both his work and private life.

Sarah and Jan interrogate Troels, who divulges private information that leads to a potential breakthrough in the case.

Now under scrutiny by both the police and the media, Troels's political career crumbles. Strange things happen at the town hall with consequences.

The police have a new lead who holds the key to Nanna's death, but getting that information from him is another story.

Sarah puts herself in a life-threatening situation, and neither Jan nor anyone else knows where she is. Bremer tries to ruin Troels's career.

Sarah and Jan's boss declares Nanna's case solved, but Sarah is not convinced they have the right person. Troels has something to reveal to Bremer.

Sarah and Jan discover a critical link to Nanna's murder and embark on a race-against-time hunt for the killer.

As the police hunt for a recently missing person takes an unexpected turn, Sarah is plagued by problems in every aspect of her life.

Sarah has been taken off the case, but she's sure of the killer's identity and continues investigating on her own.
