AFGHANISTAN SOLDIER
SUSPECTED

Johanne? Johanne!

We need to check
if someone's outside!

Jesus...

Rikard?
Rikard, you have to get up.

Come on.
Get up and pack your bag.

Go with mum and be nice.
If someone asks, I'm out running.

Isn't it a little early for school?

-Two civilian cars.
-Fuck!

-What are you doing?
-What? Get my phone.

-Don't get the door, okay?
-I won't.

Erling, where are you going?
Erling?

Where are you going?

To the city centre. I'll text you.

Okay?

Assignment.

-Hi.
-Hi.

Yesterday around 1500 hours,

Sharif Zamani was observed
entering a house

where Mullah Kaliq is staying
with Abdul Kader.

The assignment is to extract
Mullah Kaliq and Abdul Kader alive.

And to eliminate Sharif Zamani.

Zamani is behind several IED killings.

Including Sigurd's.

That's why he's on the JPEL list.

This is part of
Operation Enduring Freedom.

NATO has given this to us
because of our results.

The Americans will transport you.
You'll be joined by two of their best.

Quiet! Quiet! Calm down!
Sit down! Sit down!

Hi.

-Some school day today.
-Yeah.

-Are you okay?
-Yes.

-Are you doing alright?
-Yes.

They're still waiting at home.
I said I was dropping Rikard off.

AFGHANISTAN SOLDIER
SUSPECTED

God damn it.

He can't go to school today.

Today, tomorrow
and who fucking knows for how long.

And what about you?

I was asked to come in at work at once.

We'll figure it out.

Yeah.

What do you know?

The only thing I know is that he
hasn't killed anyone with intent.

He has.

Unless you use "intent"
differently than me.

Maybe you mean
"hasn't killed off-duty."

And I desperately hope
you're right about that.

I don't understand
how the press found out.

We're checking that.

What are we going to do with you?

As your Secretariat Leader, I remind you
that I'm within my trial period.

So not renewing my contract
shouldn't pose any problems.

Do you see that as the only solution?

Yes.

You had to make a swift decision.

You didn't hire me in person.

I was recommended.
You'll review the application process.

I got you from
Peace and Reconciliation.

From the Publication section.

You would also like to add that

the suspicion towards Erling Riiser
in no way is confirmed yet.

Do you think you could
write that down for me?

-Hi.
-Hi.

Please.

Why didn't you tell us that
Erling Riiser killed Sharif Zamani?

Because the order didn't come from us.

This person must have known that Erling

was briefed by me
when Zamani was on the kill list.

That narrows it down.
Which matters are most pressing?

I was to meet Zamani.
I met him in Afghanistan.

The Agency for Development Cooperation
talked to him

about oil on his land.
And he had ties to the Taliban.

If this is leaked, our soldiers
will be in danger in Afghanistan.

I know. I have sent a request
to silence the press.

-A derogation?
-Yes.

That'll do it for them,
but for us it's too late.

We have a Spec Ops soldier
on the front pages, accused of murder.

The US Secretary of Defence
is coming to meet some of our soldiers,

and one of them is Erling Riiser.

-What is Johanne doing?
-She's clearing her desk.

We need her in the game.

There can only be one
acceptable headline tomorrow:

"The hero from the car park."

-What do the papers say?
-Something you shouldn't believe.

-Why not?
-Not all they write is true.

But I saw it on TV.
You were shooting because of the war.

Everyone knows soldiers shoot.

Almost everyone knows you're a soldier.
My class knows.

-But that's not the headlines today.
-Then what did they say?

FATAL STABBING IN OSLO CITY CENTRE

-Why are there squares on your face?
-So that I won't be recognized.

-But I do.
-Those who know me will recognise me.

That's why you're not in school today.

Did you kill a man?

Yes.

-What did he do?
-He tried to kill his wife.

-Why?
-Because...

It's kind of complicated, Rikard.

It's because...
Because she made him feel stupid.

Because he lost what he calls "honour".

What kind of honour?

That's difficult to understand
for both you and me.

-Is he involved in the war?
-In many ways, yes.

Has the war come to Norway now?

No. It hasn't.

You look scary.

Johanne, we need your help.

-I just handed in my resignation.
-Not accepted.

I'll have to ask you to run a few errands.

God damn it!

-Hi!
-Hi.

-Good to see you.
-You too.

How are you?

-Do you have time?
-Sure. Come on.

Hello. This is Johanne Riiser.

Hi. Could you meet me at the
Stop the Presses pub in 45 minutes?

Great. Thanks.

-Call me when you're done.
-Yeah.

Hey! Hi, horsey!

Dad?

Dad?

Dad?

He's over here!

-Rikard?
-Yes.

Are you okay?

-Are you here?
-Hey!

-You're coming with us.
-I'm staying!

Fuck...

Rikard. Bring me what's
inside that vacuum cleaner.

Stay down. Calm yourself.

Lie down, please.

Come here.

-Here you go.
-Dad.

That's enough.

Let's carry grandpa inside.

Okay. On the count of three.

One, two, three!

There. Let's go.

-What's wrong with grandpa?
-It's called withdrawal symptoms.

He's trying to get well.

-Maybe we should call an ambulance?
-No, it'll be fine.

Are you okay, grandpa?

Rikard? Take care of grandpa for a bit.

If his breathing gets worse,
come and get me.

-Are you going for a ride?
-I'd love to. It's been a while.

Hey. Come here.

How's the boy?

-He's been briefed.
-Good.

-Do I have to turn myself in?
-Yes.

Keep it short. No backstory from
Afghanistan, no knowledge of Sharif.

-I need to call Johanne...
-No time. She's occupied.

-Can he stay here?
-It's a really bad time.

He's detoxifying.

-From what?
-The same as before. Heroin.

-I thought that was done with.
-Me too.

Dad? Grandpa is very ill.

Give Ekeberg some fodder
so he can say hi to Linette.

-Hi.
-Rikard.

-Jørund.
-This is Linette.

Give her these.

It'll be fine. I'll get better.

Slowly.

Rikard has to stay here today.

What did you say?

-Rikard has to stay here today.
-Sure, no problem.

Johanne or I will come and pick him up.

Good.

I'll change and take a shower.
Maybe we can go for a ride.

-Rikard?
-Yes?

-Grandpa feels much better.
-Okay?

I have to go to the city. Alright?

Say goodbye. I'm leaving.

-Bye.
-Bye. Take care of our guests.

-Goodbye, Rikard. Nice to meet you.
-Bye.

You have a nice boy.

-What a fucking mess.
-Yes, but we'll fix it.

I really want to find out
who texted you. That's the real problem.

Hello.

Right now, the Police Security Service

are confiscating any information
your newspaper has

on Erling Riiser,
Sharif Zamani or related matters.

-Are you joking?
-Not at all.

-You know where I work?
-Yes, but...

-There's no need to threaten me.
-I'm not. It's happening.

We reserve the right to act
when national security is at stake.

Your editor knows.
The Press Complaints Commission too.

I've notified all editorial offices
that derogation is in effect.

We have a story
about one of your Spec Ops,

who killed someone in a car park in Oslo.

It doesn't look good.
But that doesn't mean...

Allow me to be hypothetical:

The Prime Minister is in secret talks
with terrorists regarding a threat.

You publish photos
from this secret meeting.

The Parliament gets bombed,
the Prime Minister is killed.

Do you still think it's justifiable?

-That's just...
-I need you to understand

that today you are
responsible for your country.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

-Yes?
-Yes. Okay.

I thought you wanted to meet
because we exposed your husband?

You know?

-Hi.
-Hi.

-I thought Johanne was coming.
-No, I'm afraid it's just me.

-Just you?
-Yes.

Hi.

You did great in the interview.

-You think so? Thanks.
-You did.

-Thank you.
-Very well.

I just have to finish...

I brought you some Bamsemums.

Bamsemums. Thanks.

It's probably...

-Just what I wanted.
-Just what you wanted.

I'm almost done.
Just give me a few minutes.

Does it hurt?

Do you have any pain?
Do your shoulders hurt?

I just heard it was common when you...

Your shoulders can feel stiff
because you compensate for...

-Where did you hear that?
-I just read it.

Okay. Did you google it?

I did google it, actually.

But do you? Are you..?

Does this hurt?

Hey... Thanks.

You don't have to. It's okay.

I'm really sorry.

There's an aquarium in the lobby
if you want some entertainment...

I was thinking, if you want to...

Come with me to town
and have dinner with us.

-Us?
-Wasima and I.

-Isn't her presence classified?
-Yes, of course.

You know what..?

-I'll pass. I have a lot to do.
-What?

-Huh?
-What? What do you have to do?

Do? I've got new prostheses.
I have to exercise three times a day.

-If not, I'll never get out of here.
-Yeah.

How is it working out?

It's...

It's going slowly, but I'm doing well.

Where are you going to live afterwards?

I don't know. I have no idea.

Maybe in a council flat, or at some
retirement home. Who fucking knows.

Alright. I'm done, so you can have it.

-Say hi to the others.
-Yeah.

I'll see you later.

It was nice of you to come.

I feel the same about you as before.

I want you to know that.

Are you going back?

Yes.

Me too.

It's what I've trained for.
It's what I know.

All those hours working on...

Strategy, culture,
language, psychology...

Everything we're proud of and which
makes us superior. I know that stuff.

Now that I'm reinstated,
I want to apply for another tour.

It would be nice if you came to dinner.

-Do you have a stair glider for me?
-No, but I can carry you.

-Hey.
-Yeah?

Hurry up. Erling is in trouble.
You have to deliver that thing.

-I will.
-Bye.

We sent a patrol to your house today.

-Your wife said you were out for a run.
-That is correct.

It must have been a long run.

I ran down to Vippetangen at the port
where I met my wife and son.

Then I drove my son to the family farm,
because I didn't want him to...

Hear that his father
is a murderer at school today.

Did you kill Sharif Zamani?

Yes.

Why didn't you turn yourself in at once?

I'm afraid I'm not allowed
to answer that.

-Why?
-I can't say.

Surely, you're here to tell us something.

Absolutely. But that piece
of information is classified.

I see.

You're just back from Afghanistan.

The deceased arrived
just a few hours after you.

Did you know the deceased?

-That's classified.
-It seems likely.

We have footage from the murder.

Why were you at the car park
where you killed Zamani?

My father has a...

Heroin addiction.

-Your father?
-Yes.

What's your father's name?

Gunnar Riiser.

Riiser the jockey?

He's an addict?

He fell off his horse a few years ago.

Yes, I remember that.
It was a brutal fall.

I talked to him earlier.

I thought he was going into town to score.
That's why I went there.

Let's go back.
You're at the Concert Hall.

-You contacted your father?
-On a whim.

It felt wrong to listen to classical music
while my father was dying in an alley.

On my way to him
I ran into the three Afghans.

-Can anything or anyone confirm this?
-No.

He... It turns out he had
everything he needed at the farm.

He never went into town.

I could have enjoyed the concert,

but then we would have had
a dead woman on our hands now.

What happened to the woman?

-I made sure she was treated.
-Where?

That's classified.

We'll start on a formal charge sheet.
You may wait here.

You're summoned
to a private press conference.

You cannot give me an order.

It's not an order.
Just some well-meaning advice.

Do you have a few minutes?

This is for your eyes only.
No one else's.

The woman in the car park
is Wasima Zamani.

She was married to the deceased.

We were ordered to save her life
in Afghanistan and get her to Norway.

This will be considered self-defence
in the event of a trial.

The soldier saved her life,
and that's the end of it.

I knew he wasn't there by coincidence.

Just tell the press what happened.

A woman nearly got murdered in public.

A man with military training saved her.

The man is a former coastal ranger.

-I thought he was Spec Ops.
-Our soldiers are secret.

I'm very uncomfortable with
having to lie to the press.

You're not lying. It was self-defence.

Still.

Then just look forward
to soaking in the tub

with an ice-cold gin and tonic
and feel the discomfort fade away.

Take this.

-Was Rikard alright at the farm?
-Yes.

What about you?
What are you thinking?

It wasn't easy waking up to
my husband on the front page as a...

Murderer.

I'm sorry, I'm just...

I saw you killing him in two seconds flat
on that video.

That's hard to take.

The info video for next of kin
wasn't quite as informative as that.

-I'm sorry.
-I understand.

Remember the first time we talked?

After the cinema,
when we went to your place?

I stupidly asked
how many you'd slept with.

I thought you'd say four or five,
but you...

You hesitated,
because you couldn't remember.

Yeah. I thought I'd ruined it.

I don't know how many I've killed.

Or assisted in killing.

I don't know anymore.

What you saw in that video,

that is my job.

I have called in air strikes,
bombed villages, I've...

Thrown grenades into houses.

How does that feel?

It doesn't.

What about Jon Petter and Sigurd?

It's like a heavy lump
I can't seem to get rid of.

I can't justify anything.

I can't justify why I have
so much sympathy for them

and nothing
for those I've taken out myself.

The last time I was there...

I took out a little boy.

"STABBING" WAS HEROIC DEED

SOLDIER SAVES WOMAN FROM
EXECUTION FOR SECOND TIME

Can you see if everything
is ready upstairs? Thank you.

-Hello.
-How are you?

Good. You?

-Good to see you.
-And you.

-Are you ready?
-Of course. Always.

Hello, boys. Good to see you.

You too. Why are you here?

I've known Randall
since El Salvador in the '90s.

We certainly had our political battles.

-Who won?
-He first, then I.

Often, a world power
finances friendly guerrillas,

war breaks out
and tens of thousands die.

This creates
unexpected constellations.

He moves out,
equipment arrives and I move in.

-And the world power is still out?
-No, it changes clothes.

I'm going to talk to my wife.

-Why didn't you say goodbye?
-I didn't want to wake you.

Did I scare you yesterday?
Because that wasn't my intention.

I know that, Erling.

Maybe we can talk about it later?
I'm busy here.

Okay.

-Does anyone want another drink?
-Yeah, why not.

Do you want to speak
before the music?

-Music first. It'll lighten the mood.
-Indeed.

Eliminate Sharif Zamani.
