Elling meets with the mysterious stranger at a restaurant, where he learns more about Beck's abuse of children. She hands him an envelope containing 20,000 euros, so he now finds himself in a moral dilemma...

When Elling arrives at the campsite in Marnow, he is surprised that Lona and Sören Jasper are already on first-name terms. Elling says that, in his opinion, there is nothing suspicious about Beck's presence at the campsite, which Lona finds puzzling.

Elling seems to notice that something is going on between Lona and Sören Jasper. When Elling visits the forensic pathologist, he learns something there that changes everything.

Meier confronts Elling with the fact that their conversations have been recorded and that he can only prevent his career from being ruined if he hands over the investigation file to her.

Lona confronts Elling about his sudden wealth, and Elling admits that he has accepted a bribe and is now being blackmailed. At first Lona is furious, but she eventually calms down and offers to help.

The money is handed over in the parking garage. Elling and Lona have radio contact, which is fortunate, because everything goes differently than expected...

This crime series is not for the faint of heart. The new episode of The Dead of Marnow begins with a summary of previous events and ends with a wild car chase.

The chase continues and ends in a terrible accident. Lona then returns the rental car and Elling picks her up, having escaped without being seen.
