One member of said unit is so in fear of his life that he breaks out of a mental hospital at the end of episode two. It seems that Islamic extremists are behind the deaths. Someone is offing members of a Danish military unit who were caught up in a controversial incident in Afghanistan a number of years earlier. What forms the first of The Killing II’s major plot strands is the hunt for a very organised and deadly killer. No sooner is Lund on the case than a second body shows up, throat slashed with a soldier’s dog tags. It’s on with a fetching new red jumper, and back to Copenhagen.Īnd it’s not before time either. This is the beginning of the re-emergence of the Sarah Lund we know, the woman who sees things a little bit differently to everyone else and just can’t bear to let those nagging thoughts go. It is only after Lund hears of the confession of Dragsholm’s husband that her interest in helping is piqued. Her taking of a job well beneath her level of expertise is telling that she has lost a great deal of confidence in her abilities as a policewoman. It becomes instantly clear that Lund’s obsession with the case of Nanna Birk Larsen has completely devastated her to the point that she has shut herself away from her family.
Then a woman on the verge of a new and stable life in Sweden, Lund has now been reduced to a passport controller in Southern Denmark. Our first encounter with Lund in The Killing II could not be more different than her first appearance in season one. Before this happens though, DCI Lennart Brix (one of very few returning characters) sends his new Detective Inspector Ulrik Strange to locate Sarah Lund and enlist her help with the case. The victim’s family in the case of Anne Dragsholm turns out to be her husband who forcibly confesses to her murder.
