Either Rie is involved because of her Bremer-backing father, who we have met briefly – which might also tie in with the mysterious Latvian trip – and was trying to frame Hartmann. Theory: Rie is involved, but not the killerĪ couple of sub-theories within this. Unless as suggested, it was just a very popular necklace – and therefore a coincidence. One was linked to politics, the other to the family.Ĭomplications: the black heart necklace that links Nanna and Mette. Or even, to further complicate proceedings, more than one person was involved in Nanna's death - one person held Nanna Birk Larsen captive, for instance, another was responsible for bathing her, cutting her nails and putting her in the car boot and drowning her (perhaps unwittingly). One person killed Mette, and another killed Nanna. It's a bluff.Ĭomplications: Lund is left devastated – and being taken away by the District Attorney. Meyer has told Brix who shot him, and Brix is spreading the news that Meyer is dead for their benefit. Brix is now going to try and frame Lund for Meyer's death.Ĭomplications: Did nobody notice Brix killing Meyer at the hospital? Like Meyer's wife? Theory: Meyer is actually still alive But why did the detective die so soon after the doctor told his wife that Meyer would make it? Because Brix was at the hospital to do him in perhaps? Brix also pulled the trigger – Meyer did seem to recognise his assailant, and the shot to his heart should have killed him outright, had it not been for his lighter. The black leather gloves holding the gun don't give us many clues about who shot Meyer in the warehouse. Theory: Meyer is dead – and Brix killed him So first, a couple of theories about Meyer – and then on to thoughts about the murders of Nanna Birk Larsen, and Mette Hauge. (Join us for our new Spiral blog, which starts next week, I hope). Sarah Lund would be proud of your detecting abilities – and also possibly worried about what you're going to do when The Killing is over. Have some manners.Īnd to those who have commented on the blog and made it so amazing: Tak! I would thank you individually but you are too many in number. Please add your own theories and thoughts in the comments – unless, of course, they're spoilers.
All of the ideas have been given equal weight here to aid discussion – I'm not suggesting any of them are wholly or even partially correct. Surely the solution must be among them? Below I've summarised some of the collective, at times contradictory, theories of The Killing commenters. The theories on our weekly blog have been inspired, intelligent and, on a number of occasions, completely bonkers.
Such as, erm, "kompuder".)īut that doesn't mean we're not curious as to who's responsible for Nanna's murder. (And I don't know about you, but I am now seriously contemplating a holiday in Denmark – where, of course, I'll be able to show off the many Danish phrases I've learnt. We have spent long periods of time sitting in the kitchen of the grieving Birk Larsens, discovered more about Danish mayoral politics than might have ever seemed likely, and developed a deep and lasting love for a single-minded woman with slightly leftfield taste in jumpers. But to think that the murder mystery is the only point of Forbrydelsen would be to ignore the brilliance of the drama, which has unfurled in a manner quite unlike most other crime shows. This Saturday the drama's perhaps unexpectedly large and committed audience will finally find out whodunnit. From the discovery of Nanna Birk Larsen's body in the boot of a car, via investigations at the school, the near death of a suspect, politicians' sex lives, a suicide attempt, a secret boyfriend, and some deadly gunfire, we've eventually arrived at the conclusion of BBC4's subtitled Danish thriller The Killing. Do not read this blog if you're not up to date with the show or don't want to discuss possible solutions – and please do not post spoilers if you know the identity of the murderer(s).
