Roger's attention is fully engaged, but when he pays a clandestine visit to Greve's apartment, it becomes apparent that the headhunter is about to become the headhunted. He's Clas Greve ( Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, pictured below, familiar from HBO's Game of Thrones), who not only has the perfect background as a Special Forces veteran working for a specialist surveillance company, but also happens to possess a fabulously rare Rubens painting. Roger's facade survives intact until he tries to recruit the wrong candidate for a top job with a GPS tracking company.
He consoles himself by bonking his significantly lower-rent mistress. She's also very tall, while he, as he uneasily reminds us, measures only 1.68 metres. She wants children, but he's neurotically unable to oblige her. Diana is Roger's Achilles' heel, impossibly desirable and (in his mind) unreachable. His winnings are sunk into his outrageously stylish home, a work of art in itself, and into the new art gallery launched by his beautiful blonde wife, Diana (Synnøve Macody Lund). Then he slips away and steals their collections, with some assistance from his guns-and-hookers-crazed friend Ove (Elvind Sander, pictured below), thoughtfully replacing the missing masterpieces with forgeries serviceable enough to go unnoticed until long after the trail has cooled. Part of his technique is to quiz his jobseeking candidates on their tastes in art. Yet for all his oily skills, Roger is also living way beyond his means, and has developed a lucrative sideline as an art thief to boost his income.
