The Bridge 4!

[MrsFring]

Anyone else counting the hours 'til Friday? Saga banged up and stitched up for the murder of her evil mama; how will she cope? Come on Henrik, save our girl!

OK... so here's my take.

The sisters have decided to mess around with the psychiatrist in order to get what they want (to see Henrik?) They told him their "names" but they have given the names of Henrik's children, based on what they learned at his house and based on the jewellery they stole. (I'm wondering whether they gave the names in the wrong order, eg the younger sister giving the name of Henrik's older daughter.)

We've never been told the names of his daughters - that was a clever move because we can't match the names against other characters.

Then, how did Henrik's wife end up at the commune village - was she leaving Henrik for another man? Frank? Was she kidnapped? How did the daughter die? I'm so happy Henrik's daughter is alive!

I was dreaming about The Bridge last night - I thought I was in it. My son is building a soundproof studio (in real life) and I woke up thinking, "Oh no, I'm going to be decapitated in his studio and no-one will hear!"

Ok hollow you win the overinvested medal
I think your theory is pretty much the likely scenario.

The name on the grave marker was Anna. Astrid said she was Magdalena when she spoke Danish.
Just to add more confusion

@ToffeeUp, when the two sisters told the psychiatrist their names, do you remember what they said?

Henrik is Danish, isn't he? And the commune is in Sweden?

Are the street-wise sisters definitely sisters?

hollow Julia (eldest) and Ida

I too dislike the BBC rationing us to only one episode a week.

The psychiatrist is v dodgy. That phone call he made in episode one or two about "sticking to the plan " what was that all about?

I had forgotten that, good point!

I think we are missing some nuances at times with the Danish and Swedish.
I can distinguish between the two when concentrating but not when I am reading the subtitles.

The commune is in Sweden, I checked.

Are the street-wise sisters definitely sisters?
Maybe one of this the 'dead' Anna?

With the psychiatrist you mean Niels? He is the one that got the phone call from Douglas, does that mean he has now 2 deaths linked with him? Or am I getting things mixed up now?

Yes I'd forgotten about that dodgy comment by Neils. Good point.
Is douglas a private detective that he used to find pictures of magarethe.. who has then been killed because he found out something about the killer (with some link to the Sonnings as there were pictures of them on his table... Maybe they really did take that holiday together?).

Oh no, so my theory about the girls' names is thrown out of the water already!

I love how involved we get in these Scandi dramas - I can't remember a British drama that's involved me as much.

If Hollow is right with the method being firing squad rather than a single shot then the Douglas killing could be collateral damage rather than a Tommy killing. Maybe linking back to Taariq? Margrethe's last movements were leading to something and someone was tracking her.

That also means firing squad and beheading left for Henrik and Lilian

It was 'The Killing' that started it all off. For helvede Sarah Lund

But Lilian has suffered already when Hans died. She hasn't got anyone to lose now.

Yes, it was The Killing that started it. I had never seen anything as good as that. Even now I think the plotting of that was better, but I think Saga is just a terrific character, blowing everyone else out of the water.

That first series of The Killing was epic in every sense.

I think I'm going to go back and watch that again. It was such fun on here while that was on, trying to figure out what had happened.

The Killing was brilliant. The American version is surprisingly good too.

You could say that Henrik has already sufferd too, with the disappearance of his wife and daughter.
Kevin was the one asking Henrik about accepting that the girls could be dead.

Someone on another forum had investigated state methods of execution: shooting and firing squad were listed separately so shooting by one gunman could still count - and there was also being pushed off a tall building.

The MN discussion about the Missing was good. Lots of theories there. That was British.

Is next week the last episode or are there two more to go?

Just another ludicrous theory - perhaps all the possible suspects are all in it together, just like on the Orient Express? So, granny, Kevin and Kevin's mum. I still think the PA dunnit, which means she didn't.
