Oh So Many Questions

1. Why does Leon run? Is it because he was a bit of a wierdo with all the newspaper clippings up on the wall. Does Leon know it was Vagn? I'm sure there is dialogue when one of them mentions something like "you better not have said anything" Also Leon tells Lund on the phone "you have no idea"

2. Why does Holke feel the need to run over the young civil servant Olav when he is going to get caught for bribing him to use the flat. Also why is he then tying up Lund? Is that not a bit mental and rather drastic measures. Was he actually for killing Lund because he had wrongly been using a flat for an affair!

3. Nannas boyfriend, Emil, that she plans to leave with, waits until the police come looking for him to inform them that she was planning on meeting him at the train station to leave that night. Never once thinking that was maybe quite important to the police?

4. Why if Nannas blood is all over the flat, does Vagn not try and clean it, when he goes to the bother of covering up what he did at the house. Doesn't fit the profile of him cleaning the body etc And surely there are traces of Vagn in the flat. He went there to talk to her, he didn't plan on killing or attacking her at the time. So if he has left her blood there, it's likely his prints etc are there.

5. In the one of the early episodes it looks like Theis is telling Vagn about the new house for the first time?

6. How does Vagn know to go to the storage place where he shoots Meyer, I can't remember how they got round to that bit.

7. What car does Hartmann get to his summer house, or how did he get there again?

Enjoyable series, but there are so many unfortunate coincidences that make it a tad unbelievable.

Nearly everyone they question, lies to them at some point or has some unfortunate circumstancial evidence making them look guilty.

2 things I noticed. Firstly the plaster on Vagns neck had alarm bells ringing for me from the beginning, and also when Meyer gets shot Vagns wearing black gloves and then at the hospital you see Brix holding black gloves. Nice touches.

I absolutely loved this series. I've only watched series 1 and 2, but on completion I was left with so many questions and I hope someone can answer them for me. Ok, here goes.....

1. It was Leon who saw Nanna and Amir at the train station where they were about to elope to Paris. What happened after that? Nanna had left her passport in the flat, so once she realized she left Amir at the station and went to get it. So are we meant to believe that Leon saw them at the airport, then picked her up in his taxi and dropped her at the flat (after firstly stopping at Town Hall to get the keys from Holke). In the meantime, he has rang Vagn to tell him he saw Nanna at the traion station, had picked her up in his taxi and dropped her near the flat. How did Vagn know where she would be, what flat she was in?, Vagn went to the flat and raped her and bashed her. He then gets Nanna (who would have been unconscious judging by all the blood in the flat), got her out of the building with nobody seeing them, and took her to Theiss' new house. He gets her out of the car again with no-one seeing them, takes her in and leaves her in the basement. He takes her out of the basement and puts her into the car, again miraculously with no-one seeing them, and takes her to the woods, sets her free and then chases her down and catches her. He puts her in the back of the car and drives it into the river. Have I summarized this correctly?

2. Where was the car when he left her in Theiss' basement overnight? (not that it really matters to the storyline, but an interesting question).

3. Leon was taking the keys to somebody and was seen by Lund. How coincidental that the place where he has to drop the keys is next to Vagn's flat. Odd part of the story.

I hope someone can help explain the story to me. As I said, I absolutely loved the series but the ending has left me feeling completely confused and if my summation above is correct, I cannot believe they mucked the ending up when the other 18 episodes were of such a high quality production.

Yes, there are many incidences that simply don't add up, as well as being improbable/too coincidental. I really don't think that the scriptwriters worked out the details at the beginning and they added all the various twists and turns as they went along, without having a clear awareness or recollection of who and what was where, when or why.

Hi AnneOnymous

I'm glad someone agrees as I thought I was going mad :)

3. He was dropping the keys off at Vagn's place.
