Title: The killing
Description: Detective Inspector Sarah Lund is looking forward to her last day with the Copenhagen police department. She is due to move to Sweden with her fiancé and transfer to the Swedish police, but everything changes when a 19-year-old woman, Nanna Birk Larsen, disappears only to be found raped and brutally murdered. Along with her colleague, Detective Inspector Jan Meyer, Sarah is forced to head the investigation as it soon becomes clear that she and Meyer are chasing a very intelligent and dangerous murderer. Local politician Troels Hartmann is in the middle of a hard fought election campaign to become the new mayor of Copenhagen when evidence links him to the murder, adding a political thread and further intrigue to the storyline. At the same time, the girl's family and friends struggle to cope with their loss. Over a span of 20 days, suspect upon suspect is sought out as violence and political pressures cast their shadows over the hunt for the killer.

The body of a woman is found in a Copenhagen park. An ex-soldier who served in Afghanistan is savagely killed. Only one person can help: a stubborn, rebellious woman in her early 40s, Chief Inspector Sarah Lund. Parallel to Lund, both the Minister of Justice and an escaped convict are also desperately searching for the murderer. At last, the second series of the acclaimed and popular Danish crime drama arrives on DVD.
