The Killing - latest Eurocrime from BBC4

[muminlondon]

Promising start to the series last night - just as The Guardian promised, Prime Suspect meets State of Play with a bit of Wallander (i.e. Scandinavian and with subtitles). Really moving scene where the couple whose daughter's body had been found then tried to explain it to their younger children.

Anyone else see it?

Yes Proles, sure did, and when they finally sorted that boot mystery.
teej if he's the cabby (cabbie?) then ....well, the finger is pointing at HIM, as he maybe followed her into the flat? But I will feel a bit chizzed!

proles yup - DP and I both cheered and raised our wines glasses in salute

For those Troels fans out there, don't forget he's single now. Rie was quite clear that it was over between them.

That sounds very civilized, teej - the problem of watching with DSs is that they observe things differently: They thought when Theiss shook Meyers hand, that he would have a joke hand buzzer.

five they're using that pattern where the spotlight falls on some suspect or another for an eppy or two - or more if you're troels! then it moves on. the light will now shine on leon. but i'd be amazed if it's him. last minute red herring all over.
in fact i wouldn't be suprised if he too ends up swimming with the fishes...

Proles - yes, that was what I thought.
Good point re: video.

Teej - you may be right about the laundry thing. Not essential to the plot, I know, but just seemed a bit random.

proles would love to know who left the video for lund. maybe someone at city hall trying to exonorate holck of the murder?
PMSL at the buzzer, fivecents - you should get those boys writing scripts!

oh - could holck have demanded olav get the videotape, and it turned up in olav's office after he died?
maybe someone found it and delivered it to lund? was it brix even, trying to convince her the case was closed?

not sure about kick-ass troels = he seems to be alienating everyone around him...

How did the murderer get back from the woods? There must have been a car left at the flat for the weekend that belonged to the murderer: And he must have collected it sometime. So next week will we find a Birk Larson van spotted near the flat? Or a cab......

i wonder... if leon had said he had stopped at city hall with nanna might the real killer have been able to sneak in and get the tape? you'd have to have a lot of inside knowledge but maybe birk larsen's firm get asked to do internal office removals too?

oh you see even when we have a limited number of suspects we can't figure it all out!

teej could be brix with the tape - thinking it showed a lovers re-union/arrangement. Not banking on the Lip Reading Laundress.

sorry,
Isn't turkish man Amir's dad? The one that Theis nodded to quite nicely before driving off with Amir. Or someone completely different.

I did wonder for a second, if Mette, other missing girl was actually Rie grown up. Thought they looked quite similar in photo showing dodgy necklace, but actually, think that might be a twist too far.....

Yes wig he is the dad/landlord. And I reckon he had sent Amir off to London to get him away from Nanna and the scandal as he wanted the arranged marriage to go ahead.

A lot of the characters in this look really similar: I thought it was Theis moonlighting at the waterworks, also if you fattened up Troels he would look like thies! Not to mention Lund/Pernille.

OMG wigwam - she would be the right age for Rie, and it could be the very same necklace, snatched from Rie's neck?

Lund has good instincts, doesn't she. I would never have found those things hidden in the globe light.

Thought she looked nice with her hair down.

wigwam DP shouted out "look at the globe!"
smug bugger.

Still trying to separate out all the crimes - so Shagaround is sorted, Bremmer is behind the Troels set up for political reasons. We may still be looking for 2 people - a rapist, and a murderer.

Agreed, fivecents. Are we discounting the Latvia trip now?

mmm fivecents am now of the opinion we're looking at the one rapist and killer
