Original title: Kvinden i buret
While on stakeout police detective Carl Morck decides to take a chance and enter the suspect’s house without waiting for backup. His partner is shot and Morck has to take the heat for poor judgement and breaking the procedures. He is not sacked, but sent to the archive section, called Department Q, where he will be reviewing the cold cases. Troubled by guilt and demoted to dead-end job he quickly antagonizes the only employee of Department Q, Assad. Their job is to get through files of 2-3 cases a day in case they will spot something missing from original investigation and put them back on the shelf. But Morck sticks to one case, disappearance of successful politician Merete Lynggaard, who vanished without a trace while traveling with her autistic brother on board of ferry full of people. Against demands of his superior Morck re-opens the case and travels to locations in hope of finding new evidence. He doesn’t know that Merete is actually still alive and kept in captivity.
