With the hope of being able to provide the prosecutor (Pilou Asb\u00e6k) solid evidence in order to create a convincing case and give the relatives the certainty they deserve, the team enlists the use of methodical, unusual, and technical work tactics. The series was made in close cooperation with the real-life Jens M\u00f8ller and Kim Wall&#8217;s parents, Ingrid and Joachim Wall.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is with great humility that I created THE INVESTIGATION,&#8221; says writer and director Tobias Lindholm. &#8220;There is a great deal of responsibility in choosing to tell stories about events from the real world.

A homemade submarine carrying a female Swedish journalist and the submarine&#8217;s inventor has gone missing. When the submarine is located later in the day, only the submarine&#8217;s inventor is rescued before the submarine suddenly sinks. Now Jens M\u00f8ller and his team of investigators must quickly decide how to approach the case, as the journalist is still missing and the submarine is at the bottom of the sea.<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 2: &#8220;What We Know and What We Assume&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Debut date: Monday, February 8 (10:00PM ET\/PT)<\/p>\n<p>Jens M\u00f8ller (S\u00f8ren Malling) is under constant pressure from reporters who are chasing news of the case. Meanwhile, rumors and theories abound. Were the Swedish journalist and the accused previously acquainted? Did they stage it all as part of &#8216;a happening&#8217;? The journalist&#8217;s parents (Pernilla August and Rolf Lassg\u00e5rd) are assisting the police in their work to find out what happened to their daughter, and forensics are working hard to find important clues in the capsized submarine &#8211; without any luck. Then the case suddenly takes a dramatic turn.<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 3: &#8220;The Hunt&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Debut date: Monday, February 15 (10:00PM ET\/PT)<\/p>\n<p>While the forensic team works, Jens M\u00f8ller (S\u00f8ren Malling) and his team of investigators are waiting for answers. Have they found conclusive evidence that the Swedish journalist is dead, and if so, has a crime been committed? Jens M\u00f8ller goes to Sweden to confirm the journalist&#8217;s death to the grieving parents (Pernilla August and Rolf Lassg\u00e5rd) while Navy divers search the seabed in the Sound for more clues. Jens M\u00f8ller then has a radical idea that might help the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 4: &#8220;1280 Metres&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Debut date: Monday, February 21 (10:00PM ET\/PT)<\/p>\n<p>Jens M\u00f8ller (S\u00f8ren Malling) gets assistance with the search. Swedish cadaver dogs that can locate bodies more than 20 metres below sea level are brought in. Although the dogs mark the areas quite accurately, the divers don&#8217;t find anything. There is a question over whether the dogs can be used at all. Then Jens M\u00f8ller hears from an oceanographer who offers new insight.<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 5: &#8220;A Whole Person&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Debut date: Monday, March 1 (10:00pm ET\/PT)<\/p>\n<p>The case is slowly coming together, but Jens M\u00f8ller (S\u00f8ren Malling) and his team still have no conclusive evidence. Chief Prosecutor Jakob Buch-Jepsen (Pilou Asb\u00e6k) emphasizes that they must determine the motive and cause of death in order to bring charges against the accused. They must be able to dispel any reasonable doubt. Otherwise, there&#8217;s no case. Jens M\u00f8ller calls a surprise press conference with the hope of encouraging the accused or his acquaintances to talk, while a more thorough search of the suspect&#8217;s computer reveals some gruesome secrets.<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 6: &#8220;In Dubio Pro Reo&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Debut date: Monday, March 8 (10:00pm ET\/PT)<\/p>\n<p>Chief Prosecutor Jakob-Buch Jepsen (Pilou Asb\u00e6k) makes it clear to Jens M\u00f8ller (S\u00f8ren Malling) that they need more firm evidence to bring charges in the case. Otherwise, they risk the accused walking free. Investigator Maibritt Porse (Laura Christensen) refuses to drop the case, and after nearly 6 months of hard work she finds the key that might dispel any reasonable doubt. Jens M\u00f8ller appears to have solved an impossible case, but at the same time, he realizes that his time as Head of Homicide is coming to an end.<\/p>\n<p>THE INVESTIGATION is written, directed and executive produced by Oscar-nominated Tobias Lindholm and produced by Jonas Allen, Caroline Blanco, Peter Bose and Ren\u00e9 Ezra.
