Always one to go against orders, Morck throws them headlong into the mystery of a politician's disappearance during a ferry crossing five years earlier. - The Absent One
E2The Absent OneIn 1994, two teenage twins are found brutally murdered and a number of clues point to some pupils from a nearby boarding school, but the case is closed as a local outsider pleads guilty and is convicted for the murders. 20 years later, the case ends up on Carl Morck's desk and he soon realises that something is terribly wrong. Carl and Assad try to track down a key witness, but they are not the only ones looking for her as powerful people try to protect their secrets. - Journal 64
E4Journal 64Two workmen make an alarming discovery in an older Copenhagen apartment: hidden behind a false wall are three mummified corpses, sitting around a dining table with one empty seat left. The case quickly ends up on the desk of Detective Superintendent CARL MØRCK and his assistant, ASSAD, and it is up to them to figure out, who the mummies are as well as who the fourth seat is meant for. Carl and Assad put all effort in to finding the tenant of the apartment and they end up finding clues tracing back to the notorious institution for 'wayward' girls on the island of Sprogø, where extreme neglect and medical experiments in forced sterilization are a part of everyday life. Even though the horrors of Sprogø are a closed chapter in Danish history, there are now people claiming the experiments have continued to go on up until today. Carl and Assad start a race against time to prevent new murders and attacks from happening. - Boundless

Joined by Assad, they investigate a cold case tied to local police and a sun worshiper cult. As danger escalates, Carl confronts his own demons to pursue justice and embrace a new future.
