Mikkel Nørgaard : 2013
Kvinden i buret
Following a failed operation, chief detective Carl Mørck is transferred to the new Department Q, a section for old, terminated cases. It consists only of himself and his new assistant Assad and they are given orders to merely read and sort through the cases. Their first assignment is a five-year-old unsolved case concerning the mystery of politician Merete Lynggaard's disappearance. According to police reports she committed suicide by jumping off a ferry on a trip with her younger brain-damaged brother. Mørck finds indications that she didn't, and with Assad starts a search for her. Their inquiry brings them to the institution where her mentally disabled brother lives – he cannot talk, but after Assad's efforts he gives them the lead that first sends them to a lake in Sweden, then to the real assailant, but when it happens, they have both been suspended by their chief inspector. Their journey will take them deep into the undercurrent of abuse and malice that lurks beneath the polished surface of Scandinavia. The film premiered at Locarno Film Festival 2013.
