Rolf Larsen (Anders W. Berthelsen) is an investigator at Vestegnens Police Department in Copenhagen. He is married to Maria (Johanne Louise Schmidt), who is returning to work as a stewardess, after giving birth to their daughter Andrea. Just as Rolf is looking forward to a few days alone with his daughter, work calls. A little girl, Minna, has been kidnapped from a kindergarten in Brøndby. The search is distributed across Europe, and when Rolf receives a hint from Poland, he decides to travel down and talk to the witness, who claims to have seen Minna. But a storm is raging, and because of Maria being on a stewardess course in London, and the new nanny being trapped in Jutland due to the weather situation, Rolf has to take his little daughter with him on the trip to Poland.

Rolf’s colleague, Jarl Skaubo (Nicolas Bro), offers to join them and they reach the last ferry across the Baltic Sea from Gedser towards Rostock. Rolf struggles with seasickness and briefly parks the stroller while going to the bathroom. When he comes back, his daughter is gone. Did she fell overboard or was she kidnapped like Minna?

Five years later, we meet Rolf, who after the loss of his daughter has been divorced and now works as a local police officer in Northern Jutland. He is introduced to the young police assistant Neel, who by coincidence, uncovers a flaw the Danish DNA registration system. The error goes back several years and includes hundreds of cases, including the Minna case. The case is reopened, and joined by the experienced French investigator, Claire Bobain, Rolf returns to Poland to find out what actually happened five years ago. But Rolf has a hidden agenda: the hope of finally finding out what happened to his own daughter.

The Bureau (Season Five)

JJA (Mathieu Amalric), Director of Internal Security, has taken over managing the office as Marie-Jeanne (Florence Loiret Caille) has opted to get out of the office and test her fieldwork skills on the ground in Egypt. The DGSE will be shaken up by rumours published about Malotru’s fate – is he dead or alive?

What role did DGSE and the CIA play? The leaks bring back old demons for JJA, increasing his paranoia and worrying his closest collaborators, Sisteron and Ellenstein.

His obsessions are joined by a new agent, Mille Sabords (Louis Garrel), who tries to approach the Saudi secret services while investigating the sacrificial victim Paul Lefebvre.
