Plot of Headhunters (2011) - Roger Brown (Aksel Hennie) is Norway's most successful headhunter. Self-conscious of his own 5ft 6 ins height, he is married to a tall blonde gallery owner named Diana (Synnøve Macody Lund). Diana hopes for a family, but Roger is evasive on the subject. Roger is also an art thief, stealing pictures from clients, using information he works out of them during job interviews. His friend and accomplice, Ove (Eivind Sander), who works at a surveillance company, helps Roger with his thefts by deactivating the victims' home security systems and helping sell the stolen artwork. Ove has set up a surveillance camera to film his Russian prositute friend without her knowledge, but visible to his friends at the surveillance company. The camera is aimed at the chair, but not the bed.
- During an exhibition at Diana's gallery, Roger meets Clas Greve (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), who wants to be the CEO of Pathfinder, a surveillance company, a job for which Roger is recruiting. He seems highly qualified, having apparently recently left a position as CEO of one of Pathfinder's main competitors. Roger becomes jealous of Clas, in part due to his attention to Diana. Roger discovers that Clas owns a rare Rubens painting and contacts Ove. A few days later, Roger and Clas meet at a restaurant and, while playing squash, Clas tells Roger more about his past. He joined the Danish army when he turned 18, and was selected for an elite unit that tracked criminals. He is clearly familiar with very sophisticated techniques for tracking people. He is now in Oslo to renovate his recently deceased grandmother's apartment.
- Roger breaks into Clas's apartment and steals the painting. He sees some children playing outside and realises he wants children with Diana. He calls her but hears her cellphone ringing in Clas's bedroom, finding her cell phone in Clas's bed. The next day, he prepares to go to work, but finds Ove, without a pulse, in his car in his garage. Roger hides Ove in the boot and finds a used poison syringe (activated by sitting on it) under the upholstery of the seat of the car. Roger drives the car to a lake, where he dumps of Ove. As he sits by the lake grieving, Ove regains consciousness and Roger rescues him from the lake. Roger realises Ove knelt on the syringe as Ove tried to retrieve the painting from Roger's car's roof pocket, the poison syringe injecting Ove's knee and the poison slowly flowing through his body, thus not killing him. They go to Ove's cabin, where Ove tells Roger to call for a doctor. Roger, not wanting the police to get involved, gets Ove some milk from the refrigerator to slow down the poison. He picks up a gun Ove stores in the refrigerator and returns to find Ove holding a semi-automatic handgun, demanding Roger call a doctor. Ove, faint, loses control of the heavy handgun, shooting a spray of bullets at Roger, puncturing the milk carton. Roger accidentally shoots off one shot, hitting Ove in the head, killing him. Roger is aghast, but decides to put on Ove's clothes as a disguise.
- Roger leaves the cabin and sees Clas exiting an SUV parked outside, with a machete and his Dogo Argentino dog. Roger gets to his car in time, but Clas breaks the window and tries to attack Roger. Roger drives away and finds Ove's car on the side of the road. He gets into the car and drives to the lake, where he strips and puts Ove's clothes on. He then goes to a farm, where the farmer lets Roger stay in the cabin. Roger realises that Clas is trying to kill him and is tracking him somehow. He hides in an outhouse and sees Clas and his dog near the house. Clas realises that Roger is in the outhouse and enters, but Roger is nowhere to be seen. Roger hides under the outhouse in the manure, with only an empty roll of toilet paper through which to breathe. He escapes to the barn, but Ove's car has been disabled. He goes to the farmer's house, finding the farmer dead. He gets the keys to the tractor and runs to the barn, but is attacked by Clas's dog, which Roger impales on the tractor spikes. Roger drives the tractor away from the barn and sees an SUV, identical to Clas's, following him. In his attempt to evade his pursuer, he overturns the tractor and loses consciousness. We see that the driver behind him was not in fact Clas.
