The owner of a local winery is found dead after her birthday party, and two of the family's cars are missing; Dan learns that criminal kingpin Otto is released from prison, making it hard for him to focus on the case.

Dan and Flemming are feeling stuck in their investigations until help arrives from an unexpected source; in their efforts to find the winery's secrets, Benjamin and Nadia prove to be an excellent undercover team.

All the young suspects are clearly hiding something, and the police try to uncover what it is by confiscating their phones; Dan's love life is blossoming, but it is unclear why Josefine is suddenly so interested in his case.

Tout le monde se prépare pour le Derby danois, un course de chevaux prestigieuse. C'est alors qu'un corps est retrouvé sur l'hippodrome. Dan constate que l'assassin n'a laissé aucune trace. On lui explique qu'il n'est pas le seul : la jument favorite de la course a disparu depuis le meurtre. L'affaire s'annonce complexe pour le pauvre Sommerdahl, qui n'est pas familier des courses hippiques. Mais le fin limier apprend vite. Pendant ce temps, Flemming et Marianne s'apprêtent à prendre une décision lourde de conséquences le concernant.

The funfair has come to Helsingor; the joy and laughter are replaced by screams; an employee has been shot during his shift at the shooting booth; doubt as to whether the killer got the right person quickly arises.

A top international model is back home in Elsinore to close an important show during fashion week; the party ends abruptly when his body turns up on the beach; he was a sought-after young man in the hours leading up to his death.
