All language subtitles for Nobel - 01x04 - Episode 4

Yes.

-Hello.
-Hi.

I'll put these on.

-Would you like some help?
-No, I've just started using them,

so I'm not used to this yet.

Are you going to say something?

How are you?

Well, I'm alive, at least.

There's a lot of fuss with surgery
and wounds opening up.

The physiotherapist says
that I'll be able to ride again.

-That's good.
-There we are.

I should've come sooner. I'm sorry.

It's nothing to be scared of,
it's just a couple of legs.

Everything else works.

Could you help me up?

I have to make sure
I don't fall backwards.

Thank you.

-Should I help you with the pants?
-Yes, please.

There, you're good to go.

Where you at the Concert Hall?

At the Concert Hall?
No, I wasn't there.

I saw your name on the guest list.

You haven't been here
since you got back.

You haven't even called me.

And you're wondering
about the Concert Hall?

-No, I just asked if you were there.
-Johan invited me.

I didn't go, because I thought
it'd be nice if you called first.

If this happened to you, would you...

I just think you should've called.
Whatever.

-You're here now. That's nice.
-It's just that...

-It's all different now.
-How do you think I feel?

I have no idea how you feel.
But you're here because...

I've been so angry at you.

Okay.

I'm not supposed to cry. But fuck.

You put yourself
and everyone else in danger.

-You lost your legs.
-Yes.

I just don't know how to react.
I'm sorry.

Just show up.
Visit me and say hi.

THE AFGHANISTAN ASSIGNMENT
IS IN THE NEWSPAPER.

COME TO THE FORTRESS NOW.

The Norwegian Ambassador
and the Foreign Minister are here.

We will escort them and Rolf Inherad
from "Oil for development" tomorrow.

Adella joins us as an interpreter.
She's interpreted for him before.

I know everyone's tired,
but this is what we're trained for.

But if someone has a problem with
a new assignment, tell me tonight.

There will not be consequences
if someone doesn't take part.

Since Jon Petter is away,
Erling will lead the patrol.

-What will happen to him?
-He will not return to active duty.

We're suddenly a very small patrol.

And another thing...

We've been notified about a lot
of hostile activity in the area.

The minister is ignoring
our threat assessment.

Salaam.

-Who is that with Heydar?
-Farouqui, the province governor.

-Is he Taliban?
-40 per cent.

He can do whatever he wants.

This is the oil field.

It's not Ekofisk, but it can provide
the whole province with energy.

Will a Norwegian company extract it?

No, that's not cost-effective.
It will be a local company.

-And the trade agreement?
-That's national.

We're conferring
with the Minister of Power.

Heydar is the landowner's uncle,
who you'll have lunch with.

-Should I come?
-Next time, Rolf.

Today we're
only concerned with politics.

Salaam.

You're wanted.

-What's going on?
-We'll have an unannounced guest.

He understands English,
but prefers to speak Dari.

Nine-eight. Mullah Ahmed
just joined the meeting.

We will enhance security measures.

-Salaam, Mullah.
-Salaam.

He says that there's a breeze.

-Should we just stand by the cars?
-Yes, for now.

For boys.

We don't need
international cooperation.

Sharif says that oil and gas
belongs to the landowner.

Everyone has to do their part
in order to obtain peace.

If everyone can accept the oil
agreement Norway offers,

the Zamani family will also support it.

They need a guarantee from the Taliban
that they can extract the oil in peace.

If not, forget it. They'll get more
profit from the deal with China.

Mullah says: "We'll see."

What are you doing here,
and what do you want?

What are you giving us?

What's in it for us?

Money.

Warriors in an asymmetrical war
always need money.

How much will we get?

You said that we all agreed.

Nine-eight, get the gear ready.

We're getting the hell out of here
when they're done.

Is there any way to solve this
without financing Taliban's warfare?

Then we won't have peace after all.

I'm going back to the Embassy,
I need to make some calls.

-Three-two-Alpha.
-Reading you.

The minister has
a private errand. It'll be quick.

A bonfire.

-I see it too.
-It's the Taliban.

-Over there as well.
-Everyone, get back in the vehicles.

-Johansen, could you request a plane?
-Give me the binoculars.

Excuse me. We have to go.

-What is it?
-We don't want to take any chances.

Copy. We're not on station
for another 35 minutes.

Ninie-eight, the vehicles will be
a hundred meters apart.

What's going on?

-What is it?
-It may be an ambush.

Nine-eight, vehicles two and three
will stay, car one goes up ahead.

We need a better overview.

-Nine-three-two-Alpha.
-Responding.

Could you scramble a drone
and give us an overview?

Three-two-Alpha, we have
a drone overhead already.

Notify us of any activity within
a twenty kilometre radius.

Five vehicles in your direction,
18 kilometres behind you.

Copy. Keep us posted
on the vehicles' position.

Copy.

Hostile vehicles closing in.
They have weapons in all cars.

Copy. Over.

Nine-eight. Vehicle two and three,
come closer to us.

-Drive to the riverbed for cover.
-Copy.

Get the gear out.

-Distance?
-650 metres.

-13 kilometres. Over.
-Copy.

There's a situation. Wait in the car.

-What kind of situation?
-A possible ambush.

-Three-two-Alpha, twelve kilometres.
-Copy.

No visible weapons.

Yes, it's urgent.

Three-two-Alpha, ten kilometres,
closing in fast.

Copy.

They're assessing the situation now.

Could you get Riiser to the car?

-Three-two-Alpha, the minister wants you.
-Copy.

I'll call you back. What's going on?

The situation is critical, to be honest.

There's pressure from behind,

and the only exit is
past an uncontrolled house.

-What can we do?
-Not much without visible weapons.

Get us out of here.

-Three-two-Alpha, nine kilometres.
-Copy.

Six to seven minutes, guys.

-Eight kilometres.
-Copy.

Johansen, any visible weapons?

-No, but they're getting ready.
-Ready for what?

I don't know what,
but something's going down.

To the wall. Get back to the vehicles.

-Seven kilometres. Closing in fast.
-Copy.

-Do you have visible weapons?
-Negative.

Let's take them out.

Three-two-Alpha, six kilometres.

Come on!

Three-two-Alpha, four kilometres.

Damn, it felt good to kill.

No activity on target.

Three-two-Alpha, three kilometres,
closing in fast.

Nine-eight, load the cars, we're leaving.

-Could you check his arm?
-Come with me to the tent.

-Good job, buddy.
-What happened?

-You'll never know.
-Be nice.

Blow yourself while shitting.

-Erling, can we talk?
-Later.

-Do you promise?
-No.

DAMN, IT FELT GOOD TO KILL

This is out of context.

We don't worry about language in war-time.
This, on the other hand...

...kilometres, over.

It was put online this morning.
This will be harder to justify.

-Any visible weapons?
-No, but they're getting ready.

I don't know what,
but something's going down.

-Any visible weapons?
-Negative.

Let's take them out.

Was the reporter allowed to film?

-There was no reporter.
-Stolen footage? How'd he get it?

-He stole it.
-Equipment should be locked away.

-I was in the hospital.
-And the day after?

-We said it was stolen.
-I always have my camera.

Did the reporter
send anything in advance?

I got an article this morning.
This mission was not mentioned.

-We have a right to answer.
-Not to breaking news, which this is.

Damn, it felt good to kill.

It's an unfortunate comment,
but that's happened before.

Opening fire before being shot at
is generally not allowed.

-We escorted the minister.
-We know, but we can't say that.

I'll contact the Ministry,
and you'll stay here for now.

The reporter probably won't name
names, but we'll take no chances.

Thank you.

The Defence Minister has made a statement.

"The minister disapproves,
and will assemble an ethical counsel."

"It's important to address the bad
culture of unacceptable language."

It's important to stress
that what we've seen today,

is just a small aspect of
a very professional organization.

The Defence Minister
places blame downwards.

Precisely.

Well...

-How do I relate to the soldiers?
-You don't. This is a subculture.

Isn't it important to inform
the public of the entire case?

It's not a subculture,
and we can't inform the public.

-They were escorting me.
-I see.

-That should not be made public.
-No.

We can't tell anyone
that I met Mullah Ahmed,

or that he or his opposition in
the Taliban tried to kill me afterwards.

-May I ask why you tempted fate?
-No. Let's move on.

-Who was in command?
-Patrol leader Erling Riiser.

This just keeps getting better.

Special Operations Forces
wants to meet. What do we do?

We'll meet them.

-There you are.
-I'm sorry, we're very busy.

The US Secretary of Defence is coming
to hear about "the Norwegian way":

Norwegian humanitarian work in war areas.

I thought we could
go through our presentation.

I really don't have time now.

Should we let him think we're
as aggressive and imperial as them,

or give him
a humanitarian alternative?

-How about a reality check?
-So I can't speak frankly?

-I'll call you later, Hektor.
-Alright.

He's a bit eager, but he's done
wonders with Fruit for Life.

A bit too eager.

Why is the Secretary of Defence coming?

-To meet me.
-Okay.

Have a seat.

If I didn't say it the last time,
I'll say it now: Thank you so much.

And a special thanks to Johansen,
who was hit.

It was spectacularly well done.
How's the arm?

-It's good, thanks for asking.
-Johansen, Hanefi, Bakkeli.

Take the pizza and wait outside.
Riiser, you'll stay.

The Ministry has sent us to war,
but are turning their backs on us.

I'll be blunt:
Are you with us or against us?

-With you.
-Good. What do we do?

The Defence Minister and the
reporter will be on the news tonight.

-They want you to send a soldier.
-We didn't know.

-You do now.
-Riiser would be great on TV.

Special ops soldiers are anonymous.
They can't be on TV.

There's one special ops soldier
who won't be on active duty again.

Jon Petter? You can't do that.

I don't want to reveal Jon Petter's
identity and make him a target.

-He's been discharged.
-He lost his legs.

But he's smart and eloquent.
His injury will look good on TV.

We have no idea
if he can handle an interview on TV.

I've visited him, he seems fine.

What do you think?

I agree with Erling.
I don't think Jon Petter's ready for this.

Erling, if Jon Petter can outsmart
the Minister of Defence,

who's stabbing you
and the patrol in the back,

we'll regain the trust of thousands
of soldiers and their families.

I'm certain that he can do it.

-They want me to clean up the mess?
-Yes.

"Yes, no, I don't know, no comment."

I can't come off as an idiot
in front of the Minister. No way.

I have to be smarter than that.

-Stop talking crap.
-Copy.

-What's in it for me?
-Not much.

You're supposed to remedy people's
impression of the Special Forces.

Okay. Forget it.

Okay.

I don't understand what's happened.

You said to fire when they
didn't have visible weapons.

-Who did you escort?
-The Foreign Minister.

-Yes. That's what no one can know.
-Correct.

-What about Adella?
-She's on assignment.

What kind of assignment?

You're asking me to go on TV
as a national cripple, for your sake,

and you still can't tell me anything?

She's guarding Wasima Zamani.

Is Wasima Zamani in Norway?

-Why's Adella guarding her?
-Someone tried to kill her.

In Norway? Oh my God.

-She can never catch a break.
-Sharif Zamani tried to kill her.

This is just insane.
Why was Zamani in Norway?

-That's what I'm trying to find out.
-Okay.

I have to do this myself.

-What will happen with Zamani?
-With him?

-He's dead.
-Well, that's good.

I killed him.

-Tell them I can't do it.
-That's fine.

-At least I tried.
-Yeah.

Adella says she's called,
but you don't answer or call back.

-Is that true?
-Yes.

-Why?
-Because my back hurts.

I have blisters on my stumps,
phantom pains in my ankles

and I never get
more than three hours of sleep.

I will never get naked in front
of a woman again. Or ride again.

The army's discharged me.
I've lost everything.

When someone asks me
how I'm doing, I answer: "Fine."

I can finally eat pizza and watch TV
without feeling guilty.

So, yeah...

I'm not going to call her.

Would you go on TV
if the army reinstated you?

If you could be there in uniform,
with a medal, is that worth anything?

-They've never reinstated anyone.
-That's not what I'm asking.

Think about it.

NRK News has gained access
to unique footage

from an assignment in Afghanistan.

No visible weapons,
but something's going down.

-Any visible weapons?
-Negative.

Let's take them out.

Damn, it felt good to kill.

Rasch, you stayed with these men
in Afghanistan.

Do you understand their behaviour?

Yes, to a certain extent.
They're in extreme situations.

They lose their own soldiers,
and that affects the psyche.

It's important that the press
is present to document it.

What do you, as Defence Minister,
think about this news?

I think it bears witness of a culture
we don't want to be associated with.

More openness is important.

That will start a discussion about
our presence in Afghanistan.

We may risk revealing bad culture,
but we can handle that risk.

Rasch has seen footage
of soldiers who open fire

without being subjected
to any real threat.

Is there any way to justify
what is seemingly an execution?

There's probably a military explanation.

When young men are given guns,
something happens to their psyche.

One of the soldiers you were with
in Afghanistan is joining us.

-We'll let him get situated.
-Just one second.

-Jon Petter Hals, welcome.
-Thank you.

You were a soldier
in the Special Armed Forces.

What's your view on the information
that's been revealed today?

I'd like to say that war and peace
are two completely different things.

If a man, during peace time,
throws acid in a woman's face,

cuts off her breasts, and gathers
his friends to stone her to death,

most people would say
that he deserves prison.

There's no doubt that you experience
extreme scenarios in Afghanistan.

But there are rules describing when
a soldier can and can't use weapons.

I wasn't finished.
It's against human nature to kill.

That's why most murders
are crimes of passion.

The soldiers in the Special Forces
are trained to kill.

We never act out of anger.

In such a scenario,
we would not kill the man.

-What if the woman died?
-We wouldn't kill him.

It's war, not peace.

We'd kill him
if he pointed a weapon at us.

I find it odd that Hals claims the
soldiers are practically unfazed.

But in this video,

you're clearly marked by
the gravity of the situation.

Not acting out of passion is not
the same as not being human.

There's a difference between
basing the operation on emotions

and dealing with feelings later.
There are protocols for that.

The press needs to be present
to report on ethical violations.

The video shows
how the patrol proceeds with force.

It looks like they are slaughtering
their way through a valley.

Those are your words.

The camera doesn't show
what's behind the soldiers.

What is behind the soldiers?

The Norwegian government's war policy.

Please elaborate.

Our warfare is symmetrical.

In other words, our reaction
should be equal to the threat.

The patrol leader who chose to open fire,
made the right decision.

Rasch, do you recognize
the threat the soldier mentions?

I recognize
what's in front of the camera.

Behind it is a military assessment
which I'm not qualified to make.

I'm just making the footage public
to discuss any ethical violations.

You keep saying "ethical violations".

You shouldn't be so cocky when
you speak about ethical violations.

The cameras we have on our helmets...

It would be nice if you
gave back the one you stole.

Did you steal a camera?

This is a bold statement from Hals.
He's a soldier, I'm a journalist.

My job is to reveal the truth
so that it can be discussed.

Is this footage
from a stolen camera?

-My job as a journalist...
-Answer the question.

My job is to reveal the truth.
Whether the law has been broken,

is for the courts to decide, not Hals.

We will investigate this case.

We need to know what happened
before we make a statement.

-Copy.
-It looks very brutal.

Special ops soldiers
are not afraid of losing face.

We save lives.
We're an anti-terrorist group.

So you can't relate
to this war-culture at all?

Of course I do. We're soldiers.

Thank you both for coming.

I'm good. Thank you.

Humiliated and stripped. Soon,
you'll receive something interesting.

Wait, listen to me.
I have a story for you.

Now. So I have to talk to you.

Now! I'll stop by your office. Bye.

AFGHANISTAN SOLDIER
SUSPECTED FOR OSLO STABBING
