All of Jutland’s police force descends on Århus to look for Ida-Marie’s kidnapped son. Never has a case meant so much to Dicte, and, for once, Wagner lets her take part in the investigation. The police have nothing to go on, until Dicte realizes that the kidnapping must somehow be connected to the dead boy in the tub. Only a mother that recently lost her own child would be desperate enough to steal someone else’s.
When the police crosscheck the fingerprints on the tub with those of asylum seekers, they find a match: A young man who recently committed suicide. His girlfriend must be the child’s mother. But there is no girlfriend. According to those who knew the man, he was single.
Deeply emotionally troubled, Dicte gives her ex-husband permission to move to Århus closer to his daughter – only to find that he has already bought an apartment in the city. But he claims that she has nothing to worry about. He realizes that the three of them will never be a family again. Dicte is conflicted.
Despite the massive police effort, the search for the dead boy’s mother comes up with nothing. Wagner finds himself forced to use alternative methods and decides that the best way to proceed is to try to understand the mother’s state of mind. Dicte provides him with the missing piece of the puzzle. In her past, she has done a desperate deed, one that she has done all she can to put behind her.
Soon, everything starts to point to a young high-school student called Rikke. Her fingerprints were found on the cot and she recently purchased a breast pump. The only problem is, that Rikke was never pregnant.
