Cnut - High Dive
Stig Larssen
- Though
- Cnut
- has
- the
- law
- firmly
- on
- his
- side,
- when
- he
- finds
- himself
- up
- against
- one
- of
- the
- richest
- men
- in
- the
- country,
- Harald
- Haraldsen,
- a
- megalomaniac
- who
- has
- almost
- every
- judge
- in
- his
- pocket,
- and
- literally
- owns
- everyone
- on
- his
- huge
- estate,
- he
- finds
- himself
- stymied
- at
- every
- turn.
- Each
- piece
- of
- evidence
- he
- obtains
- is
- classed
- as
- illegally
- procured
- –
- even
- after
- he
- exhumes
- the
- corpse
- of
- a
- man
- who
- was
- obviously
- strangled
- to
- death
- from
- the
- estate
- cemetery.
- Worse,
- Haraldsen
- deliberately
- mocks
- him
- while
- the
- exhumation
- is
- carried
- out.Despite
- being
- pressed
- by
- his
- boss
- and
- by
- the
- Minister
- of
- Justice
- to
- give
- up
- the
- investigation
- of
- the
- billionaire,
- Cnut
- is
- determined
- to
- bring
- him
- down.Using
- satellite
- imagery,
- supplied
- by
- his
- old
- friend
- Ole
- Olsen,
- head
- of
- the
- Secret
- Service,
- Cnut
- and
- his
- team
- plot
- the
- routes
- of
- every
- vehicle
- owned
- by
- Haraldsen,
- including
- those
- of
- the
- Ragnar
- Shipping
- Line
- that
- he
- owns,
- and
- use
- surveillance
- teams
- for
- weeks,
- until
- they
- have
- enough
- information
- on
- his
- crimes
- to
- launch
- simultaneous
- nationwide
- raids,
- involving
- dozens
- of
- officers.Those
- crimes
- involve
- the
- abduction
- of
- scores
- of
- young
- girls
- from
- Brazil,
- the
- carriage
- of
- those
- girls
- on
- Ragnar
- Line
- ships,
- their
- imprisonment,
- sale
- to
- sex
- traffickers,
- and
- personal
- use
- by
- Haraldsen,
- whom
- Cnut
- catches
- in
- bed
- naked
- with
- two
- of
- them.He
- still
- believes
- he
- is
- beyond
- the
- law,
- and
- expects
- that
- he
- will
- be
- allowed
- house
- arrest
- by
- a
- friendly
- judge,
- but
- Cnut
- arranges
- for
- an
- embittered
- old
- judge,
- close
- to
- retirement,
- to
- hear
- the
- arraignment,
- and
- ruins
- Haraldsen's
- hopes
- until
- the
- date
- of
- his
- trial
- –
- by
- keeping
- him
- locked
- in
- a
- cell.In
- the
- meantime,
- Cnut
- travels
- to
- Brazil
- with
- some
- of
- the
- repatriated
- girls,
- and
- makes
- certain
- arrangements
- with
- the
- police
- chief
- there.Haraldsen
- is
- in
- for
- a shock.
