Danish on a Sunday: ‘Nightwatch – Demons Are Forever’
What happened in the Forensics Institute almost 30 years ago was never forgotten, and it’s no coincidence that Emma now starts working as a night watch at the very same Institute. Her mother, Kalinka, never got over the experience and ended up taking her own life, but her father, Martin, is still alive, though he’s but a shadow of his former self.
The elephant in the room is the repressed story of how the psycho serial killer, Wörmer, almost murdered Emma’s parents, who were saved, in the nick of time, by their friend Jens. They are all still haunted by that night’s events – and growing up not being allowed to speak about them has led to Emma inheriting her parents’ trauma.
Emma decides to figure out what happened to Wörmer and manages to set up an unauthorized meeting with him. But the encounter wakes him out of his slumber and sets a chain of fateful events in motion. A gruesome revenge is now exacted on all those that helped seal Wörmer’s fate back then.
Nattevagten: Dæmoner går i arv
Instruktør: Ole Bornedal
Det, der skete i kælderen på Retsmedicinsk Institut for knap 30 år siden, er aldrig blevet glemt, og det er ikke tilfældigt, at Emma har taget jobbet som nattevagt netop det sted, hvor den psykopatiske seriemorder, Kommissær Wörmer, forsøgte at dræbe hendes forældre. Siden dengang har de været hjemsøgte af erindringen om den nat, og med denne fortielse er Emma vokset op og har arvet forældrenes traume. Emma beslutter sig for at udrede, hvad der egentlig skete dengang med Wörmer. Hun får iværksat et uautoriseret møde med ham i hans isolationscelle. Men oplevelsen trækker den dømte kommissær ud af sin koma og sætter en kæde af skæbnesvangre begivenheder i gang. Nu starter et blodigt hævntogt mod alle dem, som i sin tid beseglede Wörmers skæbne.
