His partner Ove (Eivind Sander) works at a surveillance company and deactivates security at the victims' homes. Roger's wife, Diana (Synnøve Macody Lund), an art gallery owner, introduces him to Clas Greve (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), an executive who wants to work for Pathfinder, a GPS technologies company, for which Roger is recruiting. Roger becomes jealous of Diana's attraction to Clas. Diana tells Roger that Clas owns a rare Rubens painting. Roger takes Clas to lunch to discuss the job at Pathfinder and after playing squash later, he notices scars on Clas's back. Clas mentions he received them during his () service, where he was a member of a special forces unit that specialized in tracking people, a fact which gives Roger pause for thought. Despite his misgivings, Roger meets with Ove to work out details on stealing the painting. Roger manages to steal it from Clas' home but he discovers Diana's cellphone beside Clas' bed. Later, after a seemingly successful meeting with Pathfinder, a still distraught Roger flippantly informs Clas that the company may be looking for someone else to fill the position. The next day, Roger leaves for work but finds Ove in his car in his garage, apparently dead. Roger discovers a poison syringe in the car seat. He places Ove in the trunk and later dumps the body in a lake but the water revives Ove, who didn't get a full dose of the poison. The two go to Ove's home, where Ove demands hospital attention. Roger refuses as he does not want the police involved. Ove pulls a gun and in a shoot-out Roger accidentally kills Ove. When Roger exits, he sees Clas waiting outside and after a scuffle, Roger escapes. Believing that Clas is tracking him, Roger switches his car for Ove's and throws his clothes, wristwatch and wedding ring in a lake, changing into Ove's clothes that he found in the car. Clas tails Roger to the farm and murders the farmer but Roger hides from him. Roger is bitten by Clas's dog but he kills it and escapes on a tractor. Roger believes Clas is driving behind him, drives erratically and has an accident. Awakening in a hospital, Roger learns the Norwegian police think he is Ove and suspect him in the farmer's murder. Roger is arrested after an escape attempt but as he is being driven away, Clas rams the car, in a stolen truck. Roger pretends to have died on impact and shaves his head, believing his wife planted nanotechnology location transmitters in his hair. Roger turns to his former mistress, Lotte (Julie Ølgaard) for help but she admits that she is working with Clas, explaining that he is trying to steal Pathfinder's technology. Lotte stabs Roger, who then shoots and kills her. Roger returns home and Diana apologizes for her affair with Clas. The next morning, Roger goes to a morgue to retrieve his cut hair, while Diana contacts Clas, appearing to resume their affair. While cleaning Ove's cabin of evidence, Roger is confronted by Clas, who was able to track the location transmitters in the cut hair. Clas gloats that Diana has returned to him but after Clas attempts to shoot Roger and fails Roger points out to him it is because Diana has replaced his bullets with blanks. Ove's home security records Clas involved in a shootout, though Roger stays out of the picture. Roger arranges the evidence so it looks like Ove was the shooter, knowing the police investigation will ignore minor inconsistencies. Later, Roger and a visibly pregnant Diana are shown selling their house, and Roger returns to work. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Headhunters (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
