The Investigation - First Season English Subtitles

1
00:00:03,300 --> 00:00:09,420
We have heard two witnesses testify
that the defendant, Ronnie Asgaard,

2
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:14,780
was not in Copenhagen, but in
a holiday cottage in North Jutland,

3
00:00:14,860 --> 00:00:16,260
at the time of the killing.

4
00:00:16,340 --> 00:00:17,900
Thus he cannot be the perpetrator.

5
00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:21,620
Those testimonies must, however,
be dismissed,

6
00:00:21,700 --> 00:00:27,540
since several witnesses recognised
the defendant on CCTV footage.

7
00:00:27,620 --> 00:00:30,740
Text messages were also sent
to the victim

8
00:00:30,820 --> 00:00:37,140
from the defendant's phone
in the weeks before the killing.

9
00:00:38,060 --> 00:00:39,980

1
00:00:02,940 --> 00:00:04,940
<i>Copenhagen Police,</i>
<i>how may I help you?</i>

2
00:00:05,020 --> 00:00:06,020
<i>Yes.</i>

3
00:00:15,020 --> 00:00:17,100
Copenhagen Police,
how may I help you?

4
00:00:18,220 --> 00:00:20,140
Yes, please email us the photos.

5
00:00:22,100 --> 00:00:23,620
Did he see them together?

6
00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:28,940
May I have your name, please?

7
00:00:29,020 --> 00:00:30,460
Pernille Rønnebæk.

8
00:00:31,700 --> 00:00:34,260
And you saw them
in the harbour fairway at 19:10?

9
00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:38,380
Yes, please send us the photos.

THE INVESTIGATION

2
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:04,900
At 15:42 hours, the Copenhagen Police
received a report from a man

3
00:01:04,980 --> 00:01:06,620
who was cycling in southwest Amager.

4
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:09,380
He saw something on the shoreline
that looked like a body.

5
00:01:09,460 --> 00:01:10,540
DAY 11
21ST AUGUST 2017

6
00:01:10,620 --> 00:01:13,300
It's the body of a woman.

7
00:01:14,620 --> 00:01:17,140
The torso of a woman.

8
00:01:17,380 --> 00:01:21,140
When I say torso,
that means there is no head.

9
00:01:22,700 --> 00:01:26,340
There are no arms,
and there are no legs.

1
00:00:19,420 --> 00:00:26,380
DAY 19
29TH AUGUST 2017

00:00:54,420 --> 00:01:00,020
THE INVESTIGATION

3
00:01:11,860 --> 00:01:13,580
We probably sailed for three hours,

4
00:01:13,660 --> 00:01:17,300
crisscrossing around 13 kilometres
south of Avedøre Power Station.

5
00:01:17,380 --> 00:01:21,300
We were spiralling around, and
suddenly the dog got up and barked.

6
00:01:22,340 --> 00:01:24,620
And is that where we'll find
the rest of the body?

7
00:01:24,700 --> 00:01:29,540
The dogs perceive the scents
or gases rising to the surface,

8
00:01:29,700 --> 00:01:32,940
where they mix with the air,
and the dogs indicate it.

9
00:01:33,220 --> 00:01:35,460

1
00:00:00,380 --> 00:00:03,980
<i>No damage to the skull.</i>

2
00:00:13,820 --> 00:00:16,460
<i>And we don't have the arms.</i>

3
00:00:20,500 --> 00:00:22,660
<i>That's absurd.</i>

4
00:00:24,460 --> 00:00:27,620
<i>Why the hell did he say</i>
<i>she hit her head if she didn't?</i>

5
00:00:29,780 --> 00:00:32,020
He must have felt sure
we wouldn't find the body.

6
00:00:33,740 --> 00:00:36,100
<i>And when he hears</i>
<i>that we're going to raise the sub,</i>

7
00:00:36,180 --> 00:00:39,260
<i>he comes up with an explanation for</i>
<i>the traces of blood in it.</i>

8
00:00:46,900 --> 00:00:50,900
<i>The problem as I see it is that,</i>
<i>paradoxically, this changes nothing.</i>

9
00:00:51,820 --> 00:00:54,180
<i>We still lack compelling evidence.</i>

1
00:00:28,620 --> 00:00:30,940
Jakob, what do you need
to take the case to court?

2
00:00:31,020 --> 00:00:32,420
DAY 119
7TH DECEMBER 2017

3
00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:34,940
A cause of death.

4
00:00:37,020 --> 00:00:38,460
What if we never find it?

5
00:00:39,940 --> 00:00:43,020
Then I'm not sure
I can reject his account.

6
00:00:44,140 --> 00:00:46,100
Are you unsure that he did it?

7
00:00:46,180 --> 00:00:49,020
That's irrelevant.
I'm not handing down the verdict.

8
00:00:50,660 --> 00:00:53,340
But if I can't dispel any reasonable
doubt about his guilt,

9
00:00:53,420 --> 00:00:55,300
then he can't get convicted at all.
