Season overview
Following the resolution of the Larsen case, Detective Inspector Sarah Lund is demoted and working as a passport officer in the southern town of Gedser. Ulrik Strange, a detective from Copenhagen, visits Lund on behalf of her former boss, Lennart Brix, to request her help in solving the murder of military legal adviser Anne Dragsholm. Dragsholm was found murdered at the Ryvangen Memorial Park, tied to a replica of an execution post used by the German occupying power's firing squads. Although initially unenthusiastic, Lund joins the investigation and soon suspects the case is more complex than it appears, despite a forced confession from the victim's husband. Concurrently, newly appointed Minister of Justice Thomas Buch suspects that his predecessor was involved in covering up a massacre of Afghan civilians by Danish soldiers, and that this incident is linked to Dragsholm's murder.
