Hej og hilser velkommen.

[ImperialBlether]

It's on tonight! Get your herrings and your jumpers and your tattoo of Troels on show and join me on the sofa for series 3 of The Killing.

[teejwood]

look at the junior minister you twerps.

[teejwood]

is it her new daddy?

[teejwood]

lurking!! have been around but not posting much. posted last week though

[skandi1]

It's Zeutens security chief. Trying to keep him out of the picture to reinstate his old mate the ex-CEO Zeuten sacked. And somehow the political opposition leader is involved.

[lurkingaround]

Tis excellent, isn't it?

So what does Robert zeuthen know or what did he do? Summat terrible, it must be. And why are they not talking to Rosa's ex-husband? What happened to the prime ministers son? Did I miss something?

And why why why does anyone ever doubt Lund?

[LaVolcan]

Zeuthen's security chief is dodgy, as is the Justice Minister, as is Borch. Hmm, just in my opinion, of course..... I don't know who has done it, except Zeeland must be involved somehow.

[lurkingaround]

And yes, I like this jumper more than the stripey one.

[lurkingaround]

Yes, zeuthen's security chief is suspicious.

Emilie knows not to talk to strangers, her mother said, so it's someone she knows.

[teejwood]

skandi I don't trust the security chief but he is too tall (the perp was much smaller than Borch) and also these plans have been in place long before Zeuthan booted out the old CEO.
That said, the perp thinks Zeuthan is in some way culpable for what happened to the girl.

[teejwood]

y'see the exw's bf is on the small side, hence why I wondered again this week whether we are being pointed in that direction. Also he was tres keen to get the mother out of the room.

[smugmumofboys]

Could Zeuthen Snr not be involved? Jnr is covering for some dark family secret? Justice Dept lackey mentioned that Justice Minister was mates with Robert's father.

[smugmumofboys]

Also much preferred the blue jumper.

[teejwood]

ok - dodgy theory for this week to be shot down in flames.
the bf is a doctor. he may have treated this girl, got to know her story and been horrified by what happened to her OR
in an echo of Mark and Eve, he got his gf pg when he was younger and broke, he bolted, the girl gave up the child who ended up in foster care and ta da it was actually his daughter who died.
either way, he knows enough to know that Zeeland sailors somehow were involved in what happened to her (or covering up of the same) and actively targeted the ex-w to get at Zeuthen and therefore Zeeland.

[teejwood]

smug didn't he reach his position of power because his dad died and he took over his place, though? the board thought daddy's boy could be pushed around - until he bit back.

[skandi1]

Teejwood. Ah yes but Zeuthens security chief is paying for it all. A sort of back door corporate coup to get rid of Zeuthen without the finger pointing to him. Hence he is willingly letting the police take Zeuthen straight to the perp for the exchange.
The opposition leader knows or is somehow involved with Zeuthens security chief and is using PET(Special branch) for political motives.

Zeuthens security chief is in favour of moving the Zeeland operation to Asia which is what would win the opposition leader the election and the PM post (Denmark almost always has a hung government). So they are collaborating but for their own gains. And there is something with the Central party leaders ex-husbands (he is PET special branch) friendship with Zeuthens dad. Not sure what - too drunk on mulled wine to work it out.

[icapturethecastle]

Could it be juncker? Maybe he is dead girls brother. How did borch get back so quickly and into the same room as Lund? am I the only one who loved the zig zag jumper

[skandi1]

And the perp has been fed information of the cover up if that girls death through that PET/special branch bloke who is also the ex of the central party leader. So the politicians are using the cover up of a murder for political gain which involved Zeeland seamen whom Zeuthens security chief paid the deputy prosecutor (who was murdered) to pressure to cover up. So the security chief could later use it to get rid of Zeuthen and move Zeeland to Asia.

[teejwood]

castle have to confess I'm with the others - preferred the blue jumper.

Skandi - agree that corporate espionage/internal politics was my first theory last week but the more that has been revealed, it seems the case and the kidnapping go back further than Zeuthan's boardroom coup. Which is what is leading me in other directions.

[skandi1]

I liked both jumpers. And I feel sorry for Lund. She could have been a good mum but felt it her duty to help others and now her only son hates her. (I'm drunk btw).

[skandi1]

Teejwood. Ah yes but Zeuthens security chief is exploiting it.

[skandi1]

Icapture. Juncker is too young. The perp is a man in is 40s.

[SminkoPinko]

I like all the jumpers so far, including the stripey one, icapture. Also really liked the prime minister's brother's parker style anorak!

Emilie is so clever, doing sos signals and writing on the windows. So hope she will survive and not become the August of Forbrydelsen III...

I think ex-husband is definitely suspicious... And security guy. And the dad has done something that the killer wants to punish him for. But what? What is the debt?

[teejwood]

An obvious Zeeland connection could be: given that the sailors were made to watch porn while being tortured, I assume that was part of their punishment, perhaps to fit the crime? Perhaps they had kidnapped and abused the girl, or were "customers" of the person who took her. In fact the police may want to look at the pimp again - maybe that is how the perp knew his hiding places, it was no co-incidence at all.
The crime was covered up - probably in the Justice dept. I'd be looking at the junior minister, personally because he looked shifty as hell tonight. It was covered up to protect Zeeland's reputation and keep them sweet to avoid a move to Asia. It may be that Zeeland were not involved in the cover up at all - which would be a great twist - but it was junior ministers acting on their own volition thinking they were helping the overall governmental agenda.

[teejwood]

Oh god, Sminko, August

[skandi1]

Teejwood. Indeed. There is also a link to Zeuthens dad but I am currently far too drunk to work it out. Zeuthens dad was friends/went hunting and golfing with the special branch bloke and one of the ministers but not sure which one.
