Detectives Lund and Strange are in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, to quiz a suspect. But on the way back to the airport Lund (looking very fetching with combat fatigues over her best jumper despite the baking heat) insists on a detour.
What emerges is truly shocking, rocking the investigation into the serial killer who is remorselessly pursuing members of a Danish army squad implicated in the execution of Afghan civilians. Fingers are also being pointed right at the very top of the Danish government as the redoubtable justice minister and loose cannon, Buch, doggedly pursues the truth.
It’s the final thrilling two episodes in what seems, after the 20 instalments of The Killing series one, a brutally short run. But you’ll forget any niggles about brevity as Lund
at last learns the identity of the murderer. The final half-hour is electrifying with tense confrontations and one final, totally unexpected blow. It will leave you shattered. Brilliant.
