Plot
Carl Mørck is demoted to Department Q, the cold case unit, after a raid he instigated goes wrong. One case, a suspected suicide, piques his interest. His investigations suggest that the victim, a rising politician named Merete Lynnggard, was actually kidnapped. Mørck ruffles feathers and is told to halt the investigation, but he and his assistant Assad persist.
As the duo investigate the case further, they get into trouble with Swedish police and are suspended, but they still continue to persevere in their investigation. Lynnggard is revealed to be imprisoned in a pressure chamber by a vengeful chef named Larsa.[1]
Carl and Assad locate the pressure chamber and rescue Lynnggard as she is about to die, and they arrest Larsa. Because of their action and the prominence of the case, the police chief reinstates the duo as detectives.

- When Lynnggard and Larsa were children, Lynnggard's father was driving a car with both of their families as passengers. Larsa playfully blindfolds her father, which causes a deadly car crash that kills Larsa's father (and both of Lynnggard's parents). The confinement and torture of Lynnggard is Larsa's revenge.
