But a big reveal at the end wasn't the point here, rather the way that Reinhardt evaded justice at the hands of the law, and – thanks to Lund herself – at the hands of the kidnapper. That Reinhardt was a baddie didn't come as a massive surprise to me or many commenters, who have had his card marked for a number of weeks. Here, as she sat on the backseat, staring into the eyes of man who showed no remorse, happy to let a child he had known since birth die rather than admit to his crimes, her face showed every emotion and none as she worked out the consequences of Reinhardt remaining free. That we didn't says a great deal for writer Soren Sveistrup's art – but even more, I think, for Sofie Gråbøl's portrayal of Lund. It was an unexpected end to a three-series-long journey that has combined moments of brilliance with red herrings so ridiculous it's a wonder that the audience didn't turn off in disgust. This was Lund knowing there was only one way to stop him hurting more kids, and sacrificing her own happiness for it. It was the result of a career's-worth of girls abused and tortured – and a determination that Reinhardt should not be able to add to their number.
This, you felt, was Lund's retort to all the times she had seen justice not done.

Is this Lund as ultimate hero – or Lund as no better than the kidnapper that she spent much of the series pursuing? It's easy to read Lund's reaction to Reinhardt's belief that he would never be stopped in his pursuit and murder of the children in his care as a sudden loss of control a momentary flash of anger when faced with an evil man protected by his position. And with one action, it was all blown away. It's as close as we've ever seen her to settled and happy since the show's opening episode. Mark, Eva, her mother, the baby all moved into Lund's home waiting for her return Borch, the one that got away, determined that this time neither of them would Lund thinking of their future home, with plans afoot for an extension. Lund, the woman who has spent these three adventures failing at relationships with her son, her mother and her partner, finally had a happy family life within her grasp. The Forbrydelsen trilogy is notable for its focus on family which, in its final scenes, was once more pushed to the forefront.
