1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,240
(male voice) One more thing, comrades.

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,400
Even if we lose the election tomorrow,

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,280
I will always stand by the cause of social democracy.

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,920
I'm proud of that. Everyone can be proud of that!

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:17,320
*applause*

6
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,120
(moans)

7
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,320
Well? Olof Palme! That's a man! (groans) Yes.

8
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,200
It's hard to believe that the Swedes didn't re-elect him.

9
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,720
I have to move around a bit.

10
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,000
Go back in, Foerde.

11
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,560
Okay, you need medical attention.

12
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:46,840
Sit down.

13
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,720
Two beers and two aquavit, thank you very much.

14
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,040
What is it?

15
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,120
My back... lumbago.

16
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,960
All along.

17
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,760
Still not better?

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:01,960
Thank you.

19
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,640
The pills were actually supposed to help.

20
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:08,880
A lot of it couldn't be done.

21
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,200
This increases the effect. You'll see.

22
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:16,280
Skol. Egg-egg-egg-egg. The Workers' Party at the trough.

23
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,840
People always know where to find you.

24
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:22,840
Also a beer for him.
- No, I'll be on the air soon.

25
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,920
Interview with Olof Palme.

26
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,240
Don't let that stop you, it's only your turn tomorrow.

27
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:29,600
Oh, the elections.

28
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,680
Sometimes miracles happen, like two years ago.

29
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,440
Have you seen the latest polls?
- No.

30
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,720
This time it won't work, the way things are.

31
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,320
But we'll talk about it tomorrow. (moans)

32
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,360
(moans again)

33
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,760
Are you worried?

34
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,520
The election campaign went wrong.

35
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:53,960
Kleppe is to blame.

36
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,600
I have to lie down. Do that.

37
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,240
Do you want me to help you? (groans) No, it's fine.

38
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,720
Secure? Yes, yes.

39
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,320

Olof!

65
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,000
Uh! Yes.

66
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:58,720
That was hard.

67
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,320
I hoped until the end.
- Can I introduce myself.

68
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,200
And tomorrow we lose.

69
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,800
Comrade Palme? - Yes.

70
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,040
We have to evacuate the building. Bomb threat.

71
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,320
Why another bomb threat? We've already lost.

72
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,320
Excuse me. See you. * Loud ringing of bells *

Good evening and welcome to Marienlyst.

81
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,240
The first results are available,

82
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,520
but we have to be patient for another 14 minutes.

83
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,960
Don't worry, ladies and gentlemen...

84
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,920
Hello, good morning. *phone ringing*

85
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,960
Hi! Sorry for the delay. I had to take care of the children.

86
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,160
Otherwise Arne Olav would not have made it to the polling station.

87
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,040
Did he still make it? Yes. It's stupid.

88
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,560
Ivar!

89
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,760
That was a joke. Arne Olav votes conservatively.

90
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:05,520
But here in Bygdo everyone votes conservatively.

91
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,760
Arne doesn't matter. Are these the polls?

92
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:10,480
Yes. How bad is it?

93
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,760
*phone ringing*

94
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,480
*phone ringing*

95
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,440
Did you tell Odvar?

96
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,760
He's the first to know. I learn from mistakes.

97
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:26,240
And Reiulf? He's not there yet.

98
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,160
Not there yet?

99
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,960
He wanted to fly back with Foerde this morning.

100
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,320
But he booked a later flight. How come?

101
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,640
Something with his back.

102
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,240
They had another beer and then he went to his room.

103
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,600
Reiulf and Foerde drank?

104
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,920
* (Gong and announcement) Welcome. I am your captain to Oslo. *

105
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,120
Unfortunately we don't have clearance for the start yet.

106
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,040
We expect a delay of 30 minutes. *

107
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,360
I'm late too, Reiulf.

108
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,320
Ah, Per! Shared suffering.

109
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,200
Were you also at Olof's election party? Yes.

110
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:04,920
It's not easy for you these days, is it?

111
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,800
Did you invent the bomb threat thing?

112
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,160
to hype up your report?

113
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,200
Can I ask you questions when we get there? Can we do.

114
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,840
Now I have to sit down. See you then.

115
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,000
(moans)

116
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,160
Sorry.

117
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,120
Can you give me another place?

118
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,840
I'm not feeling well and the window seat... Fully booked.

119
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,200
You can ask someone if they want to swap.

120
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:37,400
I'm sorry.

121
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,480
(quietly) Damn.

122
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,240
Forgiveness.

123
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,000
Would you mind taking the window seat?

124
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,040
(moans)

125
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,000
Listen, could you get me something to drink?

126
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,240
Yes, what can it be?

127
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:26,800
*phone ringing*

128
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:31,920

* Rhythmic ringing *

130
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,000
The hotel says he checked out and left.

131
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,480
I assume he's on the plane.

132
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,680
Maybe one of you should do the interview.

133
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,600
Yes, but the Prime Minister

134
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:52,560
does not comment on local election results.

135
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,400
But the party leader is not there.

136
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,160
Then his deputy could do that.

137
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,400
I don't know the evaluation.

138
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,840
We have good numbers in central Norway.

139
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,880
Also in Hedmark? - Yes. When does the show start?

140
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,680
In half an hour.

141
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,080
In half an hour?

142
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,200
I'll never be able to do that! What am I supposed to say?

143
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,040
I have to prepare myself.

144
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,280
As soon as I have the evaluation, you will get it.

145
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,280
Maybe Reiulf will be back by then.

151
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:47,760
Can I help you?

152
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,280
So...

153
00:09:58,640 --> 00:09:59,920
Hi, hi.

154
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:03,000
I'm going to the party headquarters now.

155
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,080
Shall we take a taxi together? Then I'll get rid of my questions. Yes.

156
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:08,800
That means no.

157
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,920
We have to postpone that.

158
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,600
Do you have a car?

159
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,040
Yes.

160
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,000
No, I'm being picked up.

161
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:18,400
I'll go with you!

162
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,280
Excuse me, could you come with me? You are expected.

163
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,640
Please...

164
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,280
Expected? From whom?

165
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,000
No one. I just wanted to free you from the human.

166
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:36,720
(sighs) Thanks a million!

167
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,840
Okay, I have to go to party headquarters.

168
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,000
No no no. Yes, yes.

169
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,040
Do you want to be in your condition...? Yes.

170
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,480
*phone ringing*

171
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,120
* Rhythmic ringing *

172
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,800
Where is Ivar? He's on the phone.

173
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,240
I have the evaluations. Wait! Is there a summary?

174
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:00,720
No, not yet.

175
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,680
I need concrete numbers as quickly as possible. Yes!

176
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:05,880
Good.

177
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,960
Ivar, do you have a moment?

178
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,240
Gro, news, Reiulf is here.

179
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,520
Where? At the airport.

180
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,320
Okay, then everything is good.

181
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:19,840
So...

182
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:21,920
He's out of shape.

183
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,680
* Rhythmic pulsation *

184
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,320

00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,320
He could barely stand on his feet.

187
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,720
What does that mean? Foerde says because of his back.

188
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,320
He won't come.

189
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,840
Shit.

190
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:52,760
Yes.

191
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:54,520
Class.

192
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,680
Worst result ever!

193
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,040
He's lying drunk in Fornebu! And I have to step in.

194
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,120
You can do this...Stop it!

195
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,960
That's not the point. He has to do this!

196
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,880
That's his job, damn it!

197
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,040
The leader of the largest party must be there the day after the election.

198
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,720
Did he vote? Yes.

199
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,240
Yes? Are you sure? No.

200
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,680
By postal vote? I don't know it.

201
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,600
Do you want me to tell you something? I don't accept that!

202
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:26,320
Can someone give me concrete numbers?

203
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,720
Midland's numbers. I have it here.

204
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:31,720
Okay...

205
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,520
Let's see. They're not that great.

206
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:36,800
*paper rustling*

207
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:38,920
Leveraas...

208
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,400
Leveraas...

209
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,080
Great...

210
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,120
Big... Hmm?

211
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,400
They wait, they're ready.

212
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,640
*steps clatter*

213
00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,640
We have to...

214
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,880
... pick up Reiulf in ... Fornebu.
- Yes. - Do you care?

215
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:06,520
Good.

216
00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:11,480
Herbjörn ... Good morning, is the party chairman unable to attend? Yes.

217
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:14,960
Not so much, please.

218
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,320
*phone ringing*

219
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,400
*One more minute. *

220
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,120
So far.

221
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:23,640
The cleavage too?

222
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,400
* Is the party leader not coming? *

223
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:27,560
No, just Gro.

224
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,080
Write “acting party leader” in the insert.

225
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,600
Is that okay? What? “Acting party leader”? Yes.

226
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,320
If something new comes along... Okay?

227
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:38,600
30 seconds...

228
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,000
* Rhythmic pulsation *

229
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,560
I met Reiulf in Stockholm yesterday.

230
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,480
I didn't know he had lumbago. Yes.

231
00:13:57,680 --> 00:13:59,400
*Four, three, two...*

232
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,880
We are here at the Labor Party headquarters,

233
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,440
where there is a depressed mood.

234
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,560
Every now and then you can also spot a smile.

235
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,880
The deputy chairwoman, Gro Harlem Brundtland, sits next to me.

236
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:20,120
She represents the party chairman, Reiulf Steen is unfortunately unable to attend.

237
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,080
He has lumbago, as the saying goes.

238
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,800
Is this medically correct? The main thing is that you understand it.

239
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,080
Let's get to the election results. Gro, did you expect that?

240
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:37,160
It corresponds somewhat to the result of the local elections four years ago.

241
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,160
In some constituencies the numbers are surprisingly good.

242
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:42,520
Still it looks

243
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,400
after the biggest electoral defeat of the post-war period.

244
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,480
*Beep* Who is responsible then?

245
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,280
Do you think people forget you because you disappeared?

246
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,760
Why do these idiots write that it's all my fault?

247
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,480
Yes, I wasn't at headquarters for the interview.

248
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,240
But that has nothing to do with the election outcome.

249
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,480
They need a scapegoat.

250
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,200
Did you see the overlay?

251
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,320
The thing with the incumbent party leader? Yes.

252
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:35,920
You already realize

253
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,680
that they don't write that down without asking Gro?

254
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,560
Surprised?

255
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,520
No, if you ask like that.

256
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,720
My lumbago is not an excuse.

257
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,360
It's really bad

258
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:52,760
Yes, yes, yes.

259
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,440
This...

260
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,760
This Per Vassbotn...

261
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,520
He was on the plane. And?

262
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,080
I wonder if maybe...

263
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,080
How should I put it?

264
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,680
... got the wrong impression.

265
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,400
Isn't that one of your... Could you ask him?

266
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,360
Yes, I can do it.

267
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,760
I'm something like this... fire extinguisher, right? No.

268
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:21,720
Eat something first.

269
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,000
Here, these are from Ruth... Thank you.

270
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,080
I recently spoke to Aspengren.

271
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,400
Yes...?

272
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,400
The union will not hold back now.

273
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:36,840
Absolutely not.

274
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,880
* That's not possible, I'll tell them that clearly, Arvid. *

275
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,800
* I already told Reiulf: It's impossible what they're doing! *

276
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,040
* This constant drinking! Odvar is one of those too! *

277
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,240
* He was blue on the campaign train. *

278
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,480
You could say that - he drank more than he could handle.

279
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,600
* He must have been drinking. * Thor is a non-alcoholic!

280
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,400
* It can't go on like this! *

281
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,120
For far too long we have allowed the Labor Party

282
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:08,160
ruined by careless, irresponsible people.

283
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:13,080
The derailments of the last few weeks also remove the last doubt,

284
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:17,880
that the party needs a leadership that is sober in every respect.

285
00:17:18,360 --> 00:17:21,560
The union can no longer stand by.

286
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,520
We expect something to happen here.

287
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,080
If you can't do that, we'll be at the end of the week

288
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,920
convene an extraordinary party conference.

289
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Then there is a solution as we imagine it.

290
00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:35,400
Coffee? No.

291
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,120
Would you have time to come by my place today? Yes.

292
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,360
There's something to discuss. Yes.

293
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:47,400
Prime Minister, did the meeting bring anything new? - Yes.

294
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,120
We're putting out a press release.

295
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:51,760
*Camera click*

296
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,920
Do you think there are chances of a career advancement?

297
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,520
Do you already see yourself as head of government?

298
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,840
* babble of voices *

299
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,000
*Doorclack*

300
00:18:22,360 --> 00:18:24,680
You wanted to speak to me, Odvar?

301
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,280
Did you hear what Aspengren said?

302
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:28,640
Yes.

303
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,160
Good. It's not that I agree with it.

304
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,120
Yes, I drank an aquavit or two on the train.

305
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,720
But no one told me about Kleppe.

306
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,800
There's nothing strange about being lumped in with Reiulf.

307
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,760
I'm not an alcoholic.

308
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,240
But the union is prepared for a riot.

309
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,600
Yes, this is a serious matter.

310
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,320
What do you say to that?

311
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,000
For what reason?

312
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,320
To Reiulf? I haven't talked to him yet.

313
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:58,560
I don't know anything.

314
00:18:58,680 --> 00:18:59,920
Is he here?

315
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,600
I assume he's sick again.

316
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,920
They called you acting chairman.

317
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,040
So I would like to ask the incumbent chairwoman:

318
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:17,040
whether Reiulf is still wearable?

319
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,120
It's not my job to answer that.

320
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,320
Yes, I understand that, but...

321
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,000
The party is not spared the debate.

322
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,600
If necessary, in Reiulf's absence.

323
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,720
We have already...

324
00:19:30,360 --> 00:19:32,240
... talked about the topic.

325
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,840
You supported him back then. Yes.

326
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,440
Do you still support him?

327
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:44,680
No.

328
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,600
* Ringing doorbell *

329
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:56,800
Hi, hi. Hi.

330
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:58,880
Hi.

331
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,520
Completely in the party tradition.

332
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,080
What do you mean? As humble as Einar Gerhardsen.

333
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,440
(laughs sheepishly) This is just a temporary solution.

334
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:16,560
I would be curious to know what Khrushchev would have said about the hole here.

335
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,000
You know...

336
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,000
Khrushtoshov thought they had fooled him,

337
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,000
when he visited Gerhardsen.

338
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,720
Einar's apartment was so primitive. Yes, I know the story.

339
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,800
But it is not party tradition that interviews of the chairman

340
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,200
can be arranged by a furniture dealer from Jessheim.

341
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,720
There's too much going on at party headquarters this week.

342
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,200
After the elections, you can imagine that.

343
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:43,560
Clear thing.

344
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,040
Aspengren cleans up.

345
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,600
He demands... a sober leadership.

346
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:53,680
What do you say to that?

347
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:56,880
Is this already an interview?

348
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:58,800
Yes, of course.

349
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,720
It is clear that the...

350
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,280
... party leadership is responsible.

351
00:21:04,360 --> 00:21:05,520
Yes, exactly.

352
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:11,240
It's not just the union that demands sober leadership. It's clear to me.

353
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,360
I just think that this is understandable as a demand,

354
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,120
but it falls a bit short.

355
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,920
Do you see this in a larger context?

356
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,920
Yes, the left has crashed in Sweden too.

357
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,800
This is not due to weak leadership.

358
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,560
And how can Thatcher's triumph in Great Britain be explained?

359
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,520
The left is on the defensive across Europe.

360
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,600
How do you explain that?

361
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,320
Has social democracy become obsolete?

362
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,880
No, but the problems haven't gone away,

363
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,200
if you clear the chairman.

364
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,440
Explain that to the rank and file who complain about inaction.

365
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:53,240
If the base longs to be led authoritarianly,

366
00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:54,560
then without me.

367
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,000
That's not me, I won't,

368
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,600
and that contradicts the labor movement.

369
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,920
But I'm not done with the Labor Party.

370
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,960
There has to be more happening,

371
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,000
before I separate from a great love.

372
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,840
More than a few days in bed with lumbago.

373
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,520
Are you continuing as chairman? Yes.

374
00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:17,200
Simply because there's a lot of work waiting for me.

375
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,520
(Photographer) Yes, that's good. Smile.

376
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:22,880
Again.

377
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,560
And now from behind.

378
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,160
Would that be it then?

379
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:29,480
Other side.

380
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:35,480
*Birds chirping*

381
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:45,480
*knock*

382
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,120
Hi, Reiulf. Hi Jens.

383
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,120
I'm glad to see you. Yes, me too.

384
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,400
Come in. Thanks.

385
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,920
Hi, Karin, I brought you something.

386
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,840
But that's nice.

387
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Take his jacket from him.

388
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:03,960
Reiulf!

389
00:23:04,120 --> 00:23:07,240
Thanks for the invitation. Nice that you're here.

390
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:08,960
I'm happy too, Thorwald.

391
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,200
Thanks. Coffee?

392
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,520
Yes very much. (Karin) Mmmm.

393
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,520
Then I'll make you some.

394
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,000
Thank you, that tasted good. Yes, hopefully.

395
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,720
I suspect you're not eating enough, alone.

396
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,320
Yes, I still have to work on that.

397
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:30,200
I can see you frying a sausage in your undershirt.

398
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,640
I have the solution to the nutritional problems

399
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,720
of the involuntary bachelor life.

400
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:37,960
And that would be?

401
00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:41,680
Hot dog, melted cheese on it and off to the table grill.

402
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:43,400
Splendid!

403
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,360
Before you get glum, we have a guest room.

404
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,720
There are still people who are on your side!

405
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,880
You don't want to resign? No, that's not a solution for me.

406
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,120
But for whom?

407
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,600
Some people believe

408
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,720
that they must eliminate political failures with Thor's hammer.

409
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,720
Wouldn't it be Nordli's turn - as Prime Minister?

410
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,280
The government is in charge and Per Kleppe has screwed everything up.

411
00:24:08,360 --> 00:24:10,720
The chairman has to hold his head.

412
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,000
You can't change anything as long as Nordli is in office.

413
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:15,440
That's good, Jens.

414
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,560
Reiulf, we young socialists fully support you.

415
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,240
We could publicly advocate for a better option.

416
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,960
A cabinet reshuffle under a new prime minister.

417
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,400
That would be the most sensible solution.

418
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,800
How are the Young Socialists doing at the moment?

419
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,040
Super. We're all pulling together.

420
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,760
However, the Majorstuen local group is at loggerheads with the headquarters,

421
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,960
because we see the issue of rearmament a little differently.

422
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,520
But for me this is just a normal exchange of opinions.

423
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,160
And that's where you should stick with it, guys.

424
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:52,640
Naturally.

425
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,720
But what do you mean?

426
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:59,000
Why are you in the party? You want to make a difference, right?

427
00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:00,360
Correct.

428
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:04,440
The Young Socialists

429
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,120
shouldn't spend too much time with the party leadership.

430
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,680
We are too bad of an example for that.

431
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,000
It's exciting to be so close.

432
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,840
I don't remember any political discussion

433
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,640
lately, when it wasn't about losing face.

434
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,560
And I don't like that.

435
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,680
Am I right or not, Thorwald?

436
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,840
We have to make a lot of compromises.

437
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,840
Odvar is a pragmatist, with all advantages and disadvantages.

438
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:38,560
The young people

439
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,640
should hold on to their ideals for as long as possible.

440
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,080
The Young Socialists are not short of ideals.

441
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,960
You can see this in the protests against the Pershing II missiles.

442
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,440
That's a good thing. Bravo, Jens!

443
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,360
Please keep it up. Yes.

444
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,720
You can think whatever you want of us at the party leadership.

445
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,960
But we know what we once wanted. Until now.

446
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,920
It's just not easy to stay true to yourself,

447
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,840
when you get into power struggles.

Jacobsen? - Yes.

00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:10,600
Thanks.

458
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,520
Do you want to speak to me?

459

Yes.

460
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,760
What's that supposed to mean? Why are you sending this to me?

461
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,880
You need to know how the left-wing press views your leadership debate.

462
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,840
We didn't ask for that.

463
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,800
No, because you are hardly interested in different opinions.

464
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,200
That's the problem.

465
00:27:31,360 --> 00:27:33,640
And what should I do with it?

466
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,160
You have to know that yourself.

467
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:41,360
Just be glad I'm telling you before something appears.

468
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,680
What, you want to put this out there?

469
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,760
What else should we do?

470
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,600
The union demands new leadership!

471
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,480
Write what you want - but not that!

472
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,120
It is unacceptable for you to make demands.

473
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,240
"Away with Reiulf and Odvar, bring on Gro Brundtland!"

474
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,720
It's not that far-fetched if you look at it from the outside.

475
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,800
But the gentlemen are doing everything to prevent this solution,

476
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,760
as sensible as she is.

477
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,760
I don't agree with that,

478
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,760
even if it's just out of loyalty to my party.

479
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,040
Are you against Gro Brundtland?

480
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,240
It doesn't help if I add my two cents.

481
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,000
It's already chaotic.

482
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,120
Reiulf and Nordli...

483
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,600
... won't just throw in the towel.

484
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:31,920
Not without a fight.

485
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,560
And Gro can't file any claims.

486
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,240
That would make her look like a traitor.

487
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,040
The one in the party,

488
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,040
the only one who could get things moving...

489
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:45,680
... you are.

490
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,480
Do whatever you want.

491
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,240
Do it or leave it alone.

492
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,120

00:29:58,200 --> 00:29:59,520
Hi, Ivar.

509
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,160
Hey! Back there? Yes.

510
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,680
I thought you were sick all week.

511
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,200
It wasn't that bad. Yes.

512
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:10,520
Very good. Great.

513
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,360
Nothing has been decided yet, no.

514
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,520
Exactly, yes. I understand that.

515
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,120
Wait, I'll take a look.

516
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,880
Big mess here.

517
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,040
Wait, I got it.

518
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,560
Yes, I'll take a look at it now.

519
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:29,880
Yes, goodbye then.

520
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:31,880

Is this your office now?

523
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,680
I have to take care of your business.

524
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:41,600
Isn't there time?

525
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,000
No.

526
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,280
I was only gone for a few days.

527
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,320
With you you never know if you'll come and when.

528
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,680
I'm sorry. I could barely stand.

529
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,240
Because you had a few drinks before you left?

530
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:01,760
What makes you think that?

531
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,840
You left us hanging.

532
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:05,080
All of us.

533
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,440
And me specifically.

534
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,560
You've dealt with it quite well.

535
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,920
You could have avoided that.

536
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,440
We lose, you leave everything to me

537
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,480
and complain about me being in your office?

538
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,280
Just say: Thank you for taking over.

539
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,520
Should I thank you?

540
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,040
You abused my absence,

541
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,280
to profile yourself.

542
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,920
Can I help what the press writes?

543
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:36,760
Is it asking too much to say you have your boss's back?

544
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,720
I supported you when you were sick.

545
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,960
Because I believed in you.

546
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,040
I don't do that anymore.

547
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,200
You can have your office back.

548
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,360
*steps move away*

549
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,320
*paper rustles*

550
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,120
*drawer slams*

551
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:18,920
*Footsteps approaching*

552
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,640
*knock*

553
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,080
Nordli is waiting for you in the State Chancellery.

554
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,440
*steps move away*

555
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,280
* door clicks *

556
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,600
Can I get my leaving certificate now? (laughs)

557
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:51,120
Gjerde and I talk about the upcoming changes.

558
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,160
What is there to discuss?

559
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,440
The press has already taken that away from you. This here!

560
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:00,640
You step back.

561
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,880
All of Norway knows you never liked your job.

562
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,960
And you would like him. I have no illusions.

563
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:12,240
If Odvar resigns, the government and party leadership will collapse.

564
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,960
What do we do now, the three of us?

565
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,240
If we can't think of anything, Gro will be at the helm.

566
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,360
If the party wants that.

567
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,560
I can't imagine

568
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,720
that the party will be happy with the woman.

569
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,720
A Harvard graduate at the forefront of the labor movement!

570
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,080
In keeping with the times.

571
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,840
You always ask us to reflect on our roots.

572
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,400
Doesn't a future under Gro make you think?

573
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,640
She told me she wants you gone.

574
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,960
In the chair where you are sitting now.

575
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,600
I asked her openly

576
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,800
whether she thinks you should stay in office.

577
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,320
Do you want to know the answer?

578
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,800
I admit, I was surprised.

579
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,280
I would have liked a little more loyalty.

580
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,120
The term loyalty has no meaning for Gro.

581
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,000
I didn't ask her who would be your successor.

582
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,720
Then she will have a clear idea.

583
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,600
I have that impression too.

584
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,880
And what do you want from me?

585
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,320
We want you in government.

586
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,040
Kleppe has to go.

587
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,480
We want people to see that we're tackling it:

588
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,680
The party, union, everyone.

589
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,720
And above all, the voters.

590
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,040
And you remain Prime Minister? Yes.

591
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,160
There's only one way

592
00:34:50,240 --> 00:34:52,840
to save the government from collapse:

593
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,680
When the cabinet and party leadership stand together.

594
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,000
If you take on a ministerial position,

595
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,400
let's make an unmistakable statement:

596
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,880
That the government and the party pull together.

597
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,160
And I remain chairman? Yes.

598
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,560
Which means in practice:

599
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,480
As a member of the government, I am subject to Odvar's instructions.

600
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,160
Which department are you giving me? The Ministry of Commerce.

601
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:25,920
What do you say?

602
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,480
That I hold my head up for the crap that others create.

603
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,680
Oh, you're not messing up?

604
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,600
Your financial policy ruined our elections!

605
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,240
It's not enough to sneak out the back door,

606
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,760
to make it big again.

607
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,320
You'll be gone too when I step back.

608
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,880
That would then be your decision.

609
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,440
Do you want that?

610
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,120
* You know what’s behind the offer. *

611
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,280
They want me to look like Odvar's dachshund.

612
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,480
I'm not stupid, but do I have a choice?

613
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,120
Now that Gro is starting to take off?

614
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,680
If she is Prime Minister,

615
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,080
she will claim the party leadership for herself.

616
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,840
* Absolutely, the woman is a power-hungry beast. *

617
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,760
* If you enter the government,

618
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,080
you have to accommodate enough of your boys. *

619
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,560
You have to ask them to do that.

620
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:31,360
You can't let yourself be pushed against the wall. *No*

621
00:36:33,720 --> 00:36:34,880
(exhales loudly)

622
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:38,320
(exhales)

623
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:44,680
(coughs)

624
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:54,480
*clatter*

625
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,600
*heels clatter*

626
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,280
(screams quietly)

627
00:37:14,240 --> 00:37:15,680
*heels clatter*

628
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,960
Hi, hi. Is everything okay?

629
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:20,640
Well, yes.

630
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,360
That's good.

631
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:24,600
*splash*

632
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,320
I asked your people

633
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,600
to organize a meeting with the environmental activists as quickly as possible.

634
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:33,280
According to me.

635
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:35,640
*heels clatter*

636
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:38,640
* babble of voices *

637
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:42,840

Shouldn't Gro be there?
- No, we don't need that.

642
00:38:04,720 --> 00:38:08,080
A meeting without the deputy party leader

643
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:09,280
is unusual.

644
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,160
This is about the government reshuffle.

645
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,120
Gro is also in the cabinet.

646
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,520
But we should discuss this in a closer circle.

647
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:19,960

655
00:39:07,240 --> 00:39:08,240
Hi. Morning.

656
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:12,240
There's a meeting. Don't I have to be there?

657
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,760
The thing with Ivar and Reiulf? Yes.

658
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,560
They said they didn't want to be disturbed.

659
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,560
But I'm happy to ask.

660
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,200
Hi. Hi.

661
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,800
Have you met? Just an exchange of ideas.

662
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:30,720
What was it about?

663
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:32,840
Great! Nice day!

664
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,560
I was just about to call you.

665
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:37,840
Do you have a minute? Yes.

666
00:39:49,240 --> 00:39:50,680
Why don't you sit down? Yes.

667
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:52,400
Um...

668
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,600
Yes... *phone ringing*

669
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,360
As you know, we are under massive pressure.

670
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:06,240
People expect the Labor Party to renew itself.

671
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,000
I didn't miss that.

672
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,280
So we thought about it.

673
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,080
We? We will reshuffle the government.

674
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,320
Ah yes. Starting with Kleppe.

675
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:18,560
Our most problems

676
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:22,040
have to do with his unfortunate financial policies.

677
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,960
Then the stupid thing about the campaign train.

678
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,360
Then I chatted with Reiulf.

679
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,160
We thought about him becoming trade minister.

680
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,280
It is always said that the party is torn apart.

681
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,160
It's good there,

682
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,600
if the party leader is also in the government.

683
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,760
That makes a good impression.

684
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,360
Was he okay with that? Naturally.

685
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,360
He knows best the situation we find ourselves in.

686
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:51,440
Understand.

687
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,520
That sounds like a solution.

688
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,880
But it would be nice if you invited me too next time.

689
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,160
Yes, of couse.

690
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,840
It was just... a little tricky.

691
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,800
Something like a puzzle made up of many different pieces.

692
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,080
Which one?

693
00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:12,960
Reiulf attaches great importance to having close friends on board,

694
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:16,000
in support of the Minister of Commerce.

695
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:18,880
Uh, and I thought:

696
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,160
A few new faces - that wouldn't be the stupidest thing.

697
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:23,800
This went back and forth.

698
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,120
What new faces?

699
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:28,280
Ronald Bye for example.

700
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:33,040
His clarity and directness would be an asset to the party.

701
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,520
Then Reiulf named a few names.

702
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:37,720
Foerde, Rönbeck.

703
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,280
Thorwald Stoltenberg.

704
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,160
All interesting people so far.

705
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:43,520
Yes.

706
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,800
But we also have to accommodate them.

707
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,040
We thought about it and found:

708
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,440
Thorwald as defense minister would fit.

709
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:57,800
Which would mean that Rolf would get a different department.

710
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:03,240
At this point we came up with a very interesting idea.

711
00:42:06,720 --> 00:42:07,920
You are...

712
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,640
... incredibly popular among the people.

713
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:18,360
If the press had its way, you would have been Prime Minister long ago. (laughs)

714
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,520
Not that you think we don't take this seriously.

715
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:23,880
On the contrary.

716
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:30,360
But if there's one thing I've learned to appreciate after four years in office,

717
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,880
it is my experiences in the Norwegian Parliament.

718
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,200
And you don't have that.

719
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:40,720
No.

720
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,040
That's why we think this experience would be good for you:

721
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:49,000
The experience of everyday life in the people's representation.

722
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:53,600
That it would be very beneficial for you and the party...

723
00:42:54,240 --> 00:42:57,160
...if you are no longer a member of the cabinet.

724
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:01,640
So I'm out?

725
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:04,520
On the ministerial list

726
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,800
the name Brundtland will no longer appear.

727
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,800
Rolf Hansen will be your successor in the environmental department.

728
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,560
Are you throwing me out of the cabinet?

729
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,400
I wouldn't say it like that.

730
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:21,720
Basically, we're giving you a huge compliment.

731
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,680
You have a great future in the party.

732
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:27,200
But if you think

733
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,880
the parliamentary work would be a step too small...

734
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:35,400
(hesitantly) No...

735
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,400
I don't think so.

736
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:40,360
Fine.

737
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:42,600
Very nice.

738
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:48,840
Then we do it like this.

739
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:52,280

744

Now I come to one of the most experienced politicians,

745
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,400
whose talents we greatly appreciate.

746
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,720
It is my great pleasure to inform you,

747
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,800
that Reiulf Steen takes over as trade minister.

748
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:42,080
(clears throat)

749
00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:46,000
Einar Foerde takes over the Ministry of Church and Education.

750
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,200
Thorwald Stoltenberg becomes defense minister.

751
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:56,760
Yes, and Sissel Rönbeck will head the consumer protection department.

752
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,200
I think that makes her the youngest woman in Norway

753
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,800
who has ever held government office.

754
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:05,960
That's something, Sissel.

755
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:21,720
* Rhythmic beeping

756
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:23,760
And um... last but not least:

757
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:27,520
Rolf Hansen becomes the new Environment Minister.

758
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,240
Ronald Bye becomes transport minister.

759
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,160
Yes, this is what our new government looks like.

760
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:44,480
I am sure that it will be a fruitful collaboration

761
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,120
will come with the party and parliament.

762
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,120

763
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,240

*Distant laughter*

767
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,800
Welcome back, my boy.

768
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,640
I hope I didn't miss too much.

769
00:46:43,720 --> 00:46:45,480
*Laughter* Congratulations.

770
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:47,520
The past has shown

771
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,520
what we are capable of with our backs against the wall.

772
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:52,400
Yes, I think so too.

773
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:54,520
Odvar, just a question? - Yes.

774
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,320
Am I seeing this correctly?

775
00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:00,240
that Brundtland is no longer a member of the new cabinet?

776
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:02,520
Yeah right.

777
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:06,240
Gro is a great hope for the future for the party.

778
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:10,160
We then decided to hand it over to Parliament.

779
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,640
To prepare for the highest state office.

780
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,520
Now some will ask themselves,

781
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:21,800
why the most popular politician is left empty-handed in the government reshuffle.

782
00:47:22,240 --> 00:47:26,880
It's precisely because Gro is so popular that we gave her this chance.

783
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:29,400
That's how it is.

784
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:30,680
Okay.

785
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:33,520

Welcome! Thanks.

793
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,520
They get Reiulf's old office. Yes, nice.

794
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,520
It smells a bit musty, the ventilation is being repaired.

00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,280
Wonderful. Please.

Hey, Gro.

805
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,000
You skipped the press conference.

806
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:19,840
Yes, I have no business there.

807
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:22,520
What's actually going on?

808
00:49:25,240 --> 00:49:26,800
Is this an interview?

809
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,280
Why not? If you want?

810
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:34,560
Maybe another time.

811
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,400
Should it continue like this?

812
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,080
What? How they treat you.

813
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:51,360
I'm concentrating on good work - now in Parliament.

814
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:52,680
You can do more!

815
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,560
You don't have to swallow it.

816
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,280
Nordli is a sleepyhead

817
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,200
and worn down by criticism of his passivity.

818
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,520
In doing so, he also clears away his big rival.

819
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:07,800
And Reiulf? He gets the press on his side.

820
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,160
How, I don't know.

821
00:50:09,240 --> 00:50:12,400
Even now, when everyone thought he was finished.

822
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:14,480
And what are you doing?

823
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,880
What are you up to? I don't play the games.

824
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,520
No, you're sitting here in this hole!

825
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:26,640
Yes...

826
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,200
How do you imagine your future?

827
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:33,480
It's right to focus on what's in front of you.

828
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:36,040
But what about in one year or five years?

829
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,400
Are you still sitting here doing a good job?

830
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,640
Or are you Prime Minister?
