We are introduced to the military story via Jens Peter Raben. So, Buch desperately searches for a way to stall the bill, and begins following the investigation very closely, as well as looking into some of his predecessor’s activities. When the video of Anne reading the “Muslim League’s” statement is posted, there is huge pressure to get that bill passed. Buch doesn’t believe in curtailing civil liberties and really does not want to give in to the People’s Party. The Opposition Party backs out completely, and the People’s Party will sign only if Buch adds more security at the expense of civil liberties. In order for it to pass in Parliament, Buch will have to get either the People’s Party or the Opposition Party to sign on. When Buch becomes Minister of Justice, there is an anti-terrorism bill that the PM wants him to introduce. Thomas Buch (and the Prime Minister) is in the party that is currently in power. In the world of this show, there are three political parties in Denmark. The politics in this season are pretty complicated, but I’ll outline the basics here. (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. But then a few things happen in quick succession. “Whatever,” she says, making to go back to border purgatory. The cops and PET bristle and argue with her. “It’s not the husband,” Lund declares after looking at the file. When Brix brings Sarah on board, the cops have the husband in custody for the murder.

We don’t know why he is in the psych ward, but we know he’s been there for 2 years, has done his treatment, and is ready to get back to his wife and son.
Over at the military hospital, former soldier Jens Peter Raben (Ken Vedsegaard) is up for release. There is an anti-terrorism bill that the PM wants Buch to introduce and get passed in parliament at all costs.
Meanwhile, rookie politician Thomas Buch (Nicolas Bro) is pressured by the Prime Minister (Kurt Ravn) to become the Minister of Justice after the current Minister has a heart attack. But when a dead woman turns up tied to a pole in a Memorial Park (I believe it’s the Danish equivalent a National Cemetery, for veterans) Sarah’s old boss, Brix (Morten Suurballe), sends Detective Ulrik Strange (Mikael Birkkjaer)to fetch her. 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.
