I am the police chief, and I insist that we go in.

There's something fishy about that guy.

Says he's American, but looks more like an Arab.

What's with you?

If you will permit your lawyer to make a comment,

this guy does have some very interesting ideas.

Giovanni Henriksen is Suleyman Bhatti.

Hey, nice to see you again.

Yeah?

Oh, yeah, you guys are from the place down in the village?

This is just peanuts.

No, no, no, no, no!

Let's see, my new MacBook

should cover at least 20,000.

A mountain apartment resort that I'm involved in.

But the cheapest units start at three million.

Well, we need a guarantee for the whole amount.

It's not that, but...

ISLAMIC TERRORISM

Taste these.

That one is made from potatoes, and that one from sour milk.

- Which one do you like the best? - This one is potato?

I'm serving at the Birkebeiner race this year.

Then who will be in charge of security?

That will have to be you.

- And the rest of the gang. - We have a possible

Guantanamo ex-con in town,

and your priority is waffles.

I've put pressure on the PST to give me more info on Henriksen,

so we can't really do much more.

Have you read this book?

- No. - Well, it's gatherings.

This is the Birkebeiner race. We've got to be fully staffed.

The sun is shining and soon the public will be partying. Lighten up.

Well, the sun was shining in New York on September 10th, 2001.

Dear God.

Hello, and a big welcome to you all.

My name is Julius Backe, and I'm the project manager for Sjusjoen Belleview.

Ever since I worked as a ski instructor in the Alps,

I've been fascinated by the mid-Europeans' ability

to combine beautiful nature with design and shopping.

It's been my dream that we in Lillehammer should achieve the same goal.

Ladies and gentlemen, Sjusjoen Belleview.

SJUSJQJEN BELLEVIEW Calm of nature - Pulse of a metropolis.

Thank you, Richard. That almost gave me goose bumps.

Are there any questions?

Hi there. Tord, landowner, farmer, and eco-philosopher at the Nansen School.

According to these plans for the water and sewage pipes,

almost the whole route will go over my property. I haven't approved of that.

How did you get those?

I guess some in the administration aren't as excited as you are.

All property owners will get a generous compensation.

I am not interested in your money or your shit.

Well, thank you all for coming. I hope everyone will

have some of the locally sourced cured ham that's ready in the dining hall.

We men in the Backe family have always been prone to emotion

when it comes to dealing with the world's folly.

The Nansen School has always been like flypaper for...

I'll tell you one thing, John. If you solve this thing,

I'll make sure you get a west-facing penthouse without having to pay a cent!

But you already know that.

But this isn't a fully valid American driver's license. This is just class M.

You'll just have to pay up.

I saw you last night on the street.

The city was cold and big

I saw you were new to life

I saw you were new up north.

And you gave me a smile.

Butterfly in winterland.

No one can take away from you.

The colors you gave to me.

May the dream you carry become true.

Butterfly in winterland.

A beautiful tune there, about new beginnings here up north.

Now, I'm greatly honored

to welcome you all as citizens of the Kingdom of Norway.

Do you know it?

Mom?

- Mom!! - Yes?

- Can I invite Håkon? - Of course.

You decide who you want to come.

Cool!

"Dear Giovanni..."

Dag, get your ass out here.

We've got an immigrant here

who thinks he can get his license in a couple of hours.

In Norway,

we take traffic security very seriously.

You need a basic driving class,

a theoretical test, icy road practice, night driving and long-distance practice.

- And the dry-conditions test. - It takes around two months.

Now, ride the clutch.

Ride it.

Careful.

Okay. Put it in reverse. Carefully.

And where are we heading now?

In the middle of our lesson?

There you go. Enjoy.

Welcome to the farm!

Is this a threat?

To use the words of Gandhi,

Arve (Ostli - Commissioner Gudbrandsdalen precinct.

As you've never seen Therese Johaug before. The tough skier is on a mission...

Got five minutes?

POLICE

- I'm on my way to an important meeting... - I'll be quick.

I'm the one working under Hovland.

Yes, Elvis from the Christmas party.

Yes.

Well, it's not really my style to go behind the back of my superior...

It's just, Hovland doesn't seem to take

the security at the Birkebeiner race seriously enough.

Listen, Tvedt.

It's important to understand your role. Aren't we going for standard procedure?

Yeah, but this year we suspect there's a relocated ex-con from Guantanamo in town.

What? I haven't heard anything about this. Is this intelligence from the PST?

PST's holding their cards close on this one, but my gut feeling...

It's not the role of a local police chief's assistant

to challenge the risk evaluations

of national security agencies.

Arve, the national team have already started the ski waxing class,

so you'll have to hurry.

Ski waxing class?

Yes, I'm participating in the Birkebeiner with the Minister of Justice this year,

so I consider part of my job to give a good performance.

Did you fall asleep?

Hey.

Drive, drive, drive!

Drive, drive, drive, drive, drive!

Arve (Ostli here.

This is Tord Haukenes... I don't know whether you remember me,

from that time Salman Rushdie visited the Literature Festival?

Yes, quite. It's quite busy at the moment...

But what is it about?

Somebody killed our hen.

A possible hen-murder, you mean?

Yes, the hen.

I'm in a conflict with some cabin capitalists

and I think there's a link.

There's probably a natural explanation.

Natural explanation? A hen came through our window and landed on the bed

with its neck broken. Do you consider that natural?

As far as I remember, you recently moved here from Oslo...

What the hell does that have to do with it?

You're probably not used to living in the woods.

There are a lot of cases of birds getting injured flying into windows.

Honestly, this is extremely unprofessional.

Maybe you're used to having the police available 24-7. We have scarce resources.

Wait up.

No, look...

This is not a good time.

Did you invite Giovanni?

Yes, you said I should invite my friends.

Well, come in.

It'll be nice.

Wow. Look!

Can I offer you some soda?

The others are drinking a mixture of Coke and Solo.

Hello. Welcome!

Remember to behave, Embrik.

Come in.

I'd appreciate it if you could be a bit careful with candy.

He's not used to it and he can get a bit hyperactive.

Don't worry. We'll take good care of him.

- Yeah. - Okay, goodbye.

Look what Johnny gave me!

But you didn't have to buy him something that expensive.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

Exciting.

Thanks.

- What is it? - A scratching stick.

For scratching your back.

See.

That's neat!

Great gift, Embrik.

At my house we don't approve of materialistic gifts.

It's good that we're all different.

Well, I think both gifts are nice.

Now, who wants some cake?

I'll get the cake.

Listen.

There's something I have to talk to you about.

Bang-bang, you're dead!

Goodness me...

Lie down. Lie down, I said.

You're dead, I said. So lie down on the floor!

Help. Now I'm dead.

I just got a little dizzy.

No, no.

I promised to drop him off.

- Mom. - Hi.

Geez.

- A taxi? - Johnny gave me a lift.

- Who's Johnny? - Jonas' stepfather.

I didn't know Sigrid had a boyfriend.

He's English.

He says hi. He told me to ask you about the farm.

I want you to stay far away from that man.

You're dead, Mom.

Where did you get that? You can't play with that sort of thing!

That smell is familiar.

Macchiato?

Remember how we used to sit at Fru Hagen on Sunday mornings

and drink cafe lattes and read newspapers?

Siw, what's gotten into you?

This country life.

It didn't turn out the way we planned.

We knew it would be hard in the beginning.

Hard? People here don't like us.

It's affecting Embrik as well. He didn't behave like this in Oslo.

I think you should accept that offer.

I'll take the kids back to Grunerlokka, and you can come if you want.

To find the place, you use two fingers, feel the upper bone here, compress...

You do that thirty times, and then blow.

I've calculated the costs of postponing the project.

Yeah, it isn't exactly a fun read.

We're very busy at the moment.

We're busy.

What the hell?

You got the hippy to sell his farm?

Now we can start the sales with a blast at the Birkebeiner race.

What do you mean?

Aren't we the ones buying?

But didn't we agree that you should get the penthouse?

What?

There is a special offer on deer sausage and moose sausage at Gausdal General Store.

You get 2 for 1 on deer sausage and moose sausage.

Welcome.

Thomas, you must meet our new partner properly.

Why, hello.

Sure.

Welcome.

A little refreshment. For you, too.

This is a rare opportunity.

Sjusjoen Belleview.

Don't forget the outdoor jacuzzi.

I tried it myself, and I promise you...

Starting at 3.8 million.

But you get a lot for the money.

I don't know if we can afford that.

Now.

With that gorgeous wife, you have to act. What's your email?

DagSolstad@kjoereskole. no.

Okay. Dag Solstad.

You got that?

Well, that's not really by the book.

- Hey there. - Hi.

Waffle?

No, thanks. I have snacks in my spare time.

Look here.

So that I can reach you if a situation arises.

Radio contact? Is that really necessary?

Communication is one of the most important weapons we've got in the war against terror.

Now, don't talk like that. People might get scared.

Can I have two hot dogs?

Of course.

Excuse me, but aren't you in charge of zone 3?

Yes. But I can't do my job if I'm hungry.

We don't leave our post just because our stomach starts rumbling.

Nice of you to come.

Has the eagle landed?

For God's sake... ls the minister on his way into the stadium?

Stupid idiot.

Yes, he just went to get something to drink.

Alpha to all units! Hitman observed near finish line! This is not a drill.

I repeat: this is not a drill!

Fucking hell.

What's that you're saying?

I got a visual on Henriksen with a pistol!

Code red! Do not let the Minister of Justice into the run up to the finish line!

Are you serious?

For God's sake, Laila! Do you want to be responsible for the Minister's death?

Get out of the way!

Drop the weapon!

What are you doing?

We have identified a security risk at the stadium. You'll have to wait.

Is this one of yours?

Hope you know what you're doing, Hovland. We've only got minutes to win the badge.

Hovland to Tvedt, over.

It's just a toy gun!

What are you doing?

What the fuck are you looking at?

Alpha to Hovland. Abort operation. False alarm.

False alarm, you say?

I repeat: abort operation.

This, Laila...

I'm sorry.

Fuck, fuck.

Congratulations! We just missed the badge.

Six months of blood, sweat and tears right down the drain.

We are so sorry for this, Arve.

Sorry? And you,

Elvis, I heard you attacked an innocent class of immigrants

here to learn about Norwegian culture.

But, listen. He was a suspect, and he had a weapon.

Enough! You'll get plenty of opportunities to explain.

The Minister of Justice is furious, so there will be an internal investigation.

You Okay?

I think I have some in my purse.
