Countdown – Episode 10

A High-Octane Nordic Conspiracy Thriller.
Based on Countdown, winner of five international awards.
Copenhagen, in the days before Christmas. A letter from beyond the grave sends journalist Kurt Østergaard after the secret his stepfather never told him. Beneath a medieval church in Aarhus, a stone carved with Norse runes and Mayan glyphs is counting down. And somewhere in the city, someone is preparing for Friday – the day the Queen celebrates her Jubilee.
EPISODE 10
The time on the plane spotter's pictures doesn't match anything Birgitte has ever been told about her father's last flight. Quietly, she begins to ask questions – of an old flame in the Air Force at Karup with access to NATO's systems. And what he finds frightens him.
Kurt calls the estate manager at Rosenborg Castle to get Prince Henrik's lineage straight – and gets an answer so wild that his first thought is that it has to be disproved.
