The Killing Episodes 4-6

As my viewing of the sublime and compelling "The Killing" marches on, the plot takes more twist and turns in the case of Nanna Berk Larsen. We discover that Nanna's ex-boyfriend Oliver had revenge sex with her best friend, Lisa, the night she disappeared, and that she left the Halloween party for a secret rendezvous. A teacher is suspected, and after a certain teacher's record turns up stating that he was accused of rape by a third year, he becomes chief suspect. Meanwhile, Hartmann, suspecting his man Morten of leaking information to Bremer, sacks his employee and succeeds in forming an alliance with a fellow candidate. However, the basis of his campaign, "immigrant role models" is put into doubt when one of the role models, Rama, is made suspect to the investigation. Meanwhile, the Larsens prepare to say goodbye to their daughter. Having seen her body, Theis breaks down and orders Vagn to get information on the case, and learns that Rama is at the funeral. Theis, who we and Lund discover, has a criminal history of GBH and man slaughter, offers to drive Rama home, but obviously he has other plans. And of course, Sarah is literally on the plane when she realises that Rama is in serious danger. It's utterly complex and brilliant. I like the relationship between Sarah and her successor, Jan. I'm also a fan of the running "gag" in the programme of a character receiving good news and preparing to celebrate before they get a phonecall which instantly changes the mood. The acting and writing is superb and the dialogue is tight through the translation. I look forward to watching more.
