Up to episode 9 - help answer questions

Hi Bron|||Broen fans.

It is almost certain Emil is the killer of all murders, apart from the copy-cat one by Rikard, the cleaner who was desperate for Lise's recognition. I can't see Rasmus being involved and as someone mentioned it is a very common name.

I'm left with lots of questions though and I wonder if they can wrap it all up in one final episode.

The motivation of Emil is clear: revenge against his biological father who did not claim him so he had a hell of an upbringing in the foster home, probably abused by Filip Johansson, foster father and locked up in the cellar room with the obvious complicity of the foster mother.

So some murders I can see the motive but others not really. I can't see that the anger of Emil is so strong that he has to kill Helle Anker who set up the fertility clinic (but… this was the beginning to it all, so maybe the pain was so intense, he started where it all began as the song reminds us… and so she had to die first).

Why did the son, Morten have to die? Is he also the product of Freddie's sperm donation to the clinic? Everything suggests. We know he is convinced his father is Freddie. Is there a story behind the rape in Afghanistan yet to be explained? Would Lukas death be connected to this or just a drug turf thing? It is probable "the brother" Morten mentions, is in fact Emil. But why kill him? Did Morten know for sure it was Emil the killer so he had to be silenced?

Why did Emil then kill the gym teacher? It was mentioned Lars Ove Abrahamsson liked girls (?) Was Emil ever abused by him as well as a kid/teenager at school? His killing stage was clearly of a sexual nature since genitals were removed.

Most of all questions, why did he try (and managed in the end) to kill Hans? What's the connection there? Is it only because he was the officer who located him after he ran away from the foster home and brought him back? If that's the case, Emil really suffered a hell we can't imagine in that home!

What's the situation with this guy who was first on the murder scene at the transport company, Kjell Söder? He vanished suddenly after resigning. That was highly suspicious but we never heard from him again.

Then there is the story with Anna having an affair with young Benjamin who ends up committing suicide being heartbroken. Why then was her husband Hakan killed and in this bizarre way as well? What's the connection here with Emil? We hardly see anything about this line of investigation, why?

What was Annika's role in all of this? Maybe it is a side story where Claes wanted to get rid of her blackmailing him for the death of his father (the murder of his father should I say out of compassion). And it has nothing to do with the Joker Killer. The fact that she was fostered in this family still is a strong connection to Emil though.

It is no coincidence that Emil is the Art Museum guide. He knows everything about the artwork from Freddie, but why did he inform the police? To remove himself as a suspect? We certainly believed in it for a while. Plus did he stage his attack to completely remove any suspicion against him? He's really clever and determined, that boy.

So, to wrap it up and I'm sure I left some stuff behind, I don't know how to explain everything at this stage and I certainly wish to have some of it explained in the final episode but I'm also very interested in Saga's personal story and her danish partner's personal story. Will we know in just one final episode the answers to all these questions? If they can pull it up, I take my hat off. Love the show. It's a masterpiece. I'm so much of a fan to this series. Thanks Sofia Helin and all the others for giving us so much joy watching an otherwise quite dark story. I'm loving it and looking forward to the finale. Tak smukke!
