English term or phrase: rogue (go on a rogue mission)
I am translating information about TV programs / TV guides and need a good term for 'rogue' in Danish - does anyone have a suggestion?

Here are a few examples:

In the fourth season premiere, x and x go on a rogue globe-spanning mission to find x's cousin.

After their first real fight, x avoids x by going on a rogue mission that leads him to his cousin.

x's secrets are threatened, leading x to set off on a rogue mission.

tage ud på en vild jagt
Explanation:
Clearly one of the many missing words in Danish. Jagt could be replaced by eftersøgning, but it's just less catchy, and it depends a bit on the purpose of finding that person.

Alternatively, you could try something longer, such as "X blæser reglerne/normerne/procedurerne/... et stykke og tager ud at lede efter Y på sin helt egen måde uden at tage smålige hensyn..." osv.

agree  Christine Andersen: I like ´uden smålige hensyn´ and ´blæser på reglerne´

  -> Thanks. I think something long is the only way to truly match the meaning of original, given the limited Danish vocabulary next to English (or French).
