action

The policeman Asger Holm was transferred to the office in an emergency call center because legal proceedings are pending against him. His trial is due to take place the following day.

During his shift at the Copenhagen emergency call center , a woman named Iben calls her mobile phone and Holm assumes she was kidnapped in a car. Since he can recognize the location of the mobile phone cell in his emergency call system - you are traveling north on Hillerødautobahn 16 at Allerød - he sends a patrol car there. However, the officers did not find a kidnapped woman in the van that was initially stopped.

Since Holm's system also shows the woman's landline number, Holm calls there and can talk to Iben's little daughter. The daughter tells Holm the phone number of her father Michael, who lives apart from the family. Holm reads in his system that Michael has been convicted of violent crimes and is thereby confirmed in his opinion that the father is the kidnapper.

After Holm has instructed Iben to pull the handbrake, the kidnapper locks her in the vehicle's hold after another interruption. Holm encourages her and advises her to knock down the kidnapper as soon as the car stops and the door is opened. That also works.

Another patrol - sent by Holm - took care of the little daughter. The viewer can overhear the officer talking to the little daughter via Holm's phone and then search the house. The latter discovers that the girl's little brother has been cruelly killed - his stomach was cut open.

A phone call with Michael reveals that Michael has acted unsuccessfully against the ban on contact with his children and wanted to take his wife Iben to a psychiatric clinic in northern Zealand on her own . In conversations with Holm's partner, one learns that he is on trial for having shot a young man and that he and the partner have planned to make a false statement in court that covers him.

On another phone call with Iben, Holm realizes that she killed her young son herself. She stands on a bridge and wants to kill herself. Holm can just send a patrol car whose officers can prevent the suicide . In this conversation he admits to her, and thus to the colleagues in the room across the street, that he shot the young man after a serious crime without any need to do so.

After the conversation with Iben, another phone call with his cell phone is indicated. It can be assumed that Holm will tell the truth in court the next day .
