(This is set in 2009) Meanwhile, at the military barracks, there is another murder, of Allan Myg Poulsen (Nicolai Dahl Hamilton), a soldier who was in Afghanistan and about to re-deploy. Sure enough, a video surfaces of Anne, beaten and tied to a chair, reading a statement by the “Muslim League” about the infidel Danes and their atrocities toward Afghan civilians during the war. Lund figures out that the woman, Anne Dragsholm (Sarah Gottlieb), was tortured before she was killed.

At the opening of the series, Sarah surfaces as a zombie-like border patrol cop, resigned to live out her life in penance for the myriad ways she screwed up in season 1.
