A NEW MAJORITY NEW POWER

FREE NORWAY

Time for the news. It is 8:30am.

The Police Security Service has arrested three men suspected of...

- Bye. - Bye.

Don't forget the recycling.

Boo!

Idiot!

Petter?

- No breakfast? - I'll grab something later.

See you at five.

- I can't help you today. - We had a deal.

- It's mom's birthday. - You can't tell me that now!

- I'll help you tomorrow. - No, you can't...

Petter!

I can come by.

- The German chancellor is on the line. - I said no calls.

We think you should take it.

Ready to go?

Oscar 3-0 is on his way.

- The Swedish prime minister called. - They're nervous.

We'll call them all, once they've heard the reactions to my speech.

Are you on duty tonight, too?

I'm going to race you up that hill today.

We are obligated to stay behind you.

But not too far behind, right?

- Good luck in court today! - Thank you.

Thomas Eriksen, New Time.

- Why am I not on the list? - I don't know.

- Must be a mistake. - Come on.

- There's nothing I can do. - Talk to Jesper Berg.

I'm sure he wants me there.

We were your mouthpiece throughout the campaign.

And we have written lots about the thorium project.

"Less than 200 years ago, in this very location,

a priest named Esmark found a small stone..."

Excuse me.

- That seat is for Helle Winther. - I know.

But Helle begged me to take her place.

Less than 200 years ago, in this very location,

a priest named Morten Esmark

found a small stone.

It contained a mineral.

He chose to call thorite.

This led us to the chemical element thorium.

That a priest can make such an important scientific discovery

is a shining example of how the world can change

when we are willing to think outside the box.

Thorium. Named after the god Thor.

And the power of Thor's hammer

is the power that can save us

from the worst crisis mankind has ever faced.

The opening of Norway's first thorium plant

is not only a great day for Norwegian energy policy,

it is a great day for Europe.

It is a great day for the world.

In difficult times it is tempting to look back

to the age of oil and gas,

which brought parts of our civilization

unimaginable wealth.

But fossil fuel no longer supplies us with hope.

Because fossil fuel is the cause of our climate crisis.

The time for fossil fuel has passed.

In Norway's case, that means the era of oil is over.

Crises are solved through changes in our mind-set.

By being first, Norway will flourish anew.

And we will supply the world with this technology,

giving hope to new generations.

That is a hope they deserve.

We owe them that hope.

Prime Minister Jesper Berg

has announced that the petroleum age is over.

Bente? Everyone is here now.

Disappointed by Berg's comments.

He was expected to give in to international pressure.

How long will our patience last? While we wait, we...

Hello. Let's have a little meeting.

OK.

You all know we're struggling.

It's bad. I know we have the best restaurant.

But I can't afford to pay you next month.

However, give me one more month,

and I promise to pay your wages plus 10% interest.

- I'm in. - Thank you, Line.

I understand your hesitation,

but I hope as many of you as possible will stay.

Because I really believe we can make this work.

Bjørn?

Sorry. I have to move on. I need the money.

I understand.

Marie?

I already have a new job.

You already have a new job?

Will you take that?

- May I help you? - I'm looking for the prime minister.

I think he wants to talk to me.

Berg! A comment?

- What sort of sanctions do you expect? - No comment.

I expect applause, not sanctions. In a few years.

Has the EU threatened with sanctions?

The EU leaders know our climate challenges have no borders.

They will listen to their own opinion polls.

- Is that a confirmation? - Just quote me correctly.

Tell the chancellor we'll call her.

I've tried, but she...

He's got a gun!

Oscar 3-0 has been kidnapped!

I repeat: Oscar 3-0 has been kidnapped in the helicopter!

At least four armed men with ski masks.

Djupvik? Djupvik?

- What's going on? - Not now!

- Who the hell was in that helicopter? - Djupvik, come in!

Djupvik here.

Djupvik, give us a situation report.

The helicopter is heading northeast. I'm in pursuit. Send backup.

Roger. Keep me posted.

Roger.

This is editor Ottesen at "New Time". Leave a message.

Dag, Thomas here. Call me as soon as you can.

Something big has gone down. I'm on my way to the office.

Call me back!

Djupvik, do you see the helicopter?

Djupvik, come in.

Can you see the helicopter?

Negative.

Hang on!

- I'm heading southwest. - Abort. Abort now, Djupvik.

Untie them.

I have them on the tracker.

No. Abort!

Djupvik? Can you confirm?

Djupvik?

Backup is on its way.

They need you back for a briefing.

Djupvik?

Roger.

See you in 20 minutes.

Do you need any painkillers?

Have you suffered from nausea?

Headaches? Blurred vision?

I want you to stay home for two weeks.

Your blood pressure is a little high.

So it's important you avoid stressful situations.

One copy for you, one for your employer.

I just got out of a meeting.

I'll see you at the government building.

Shit!

We're still waiting for the bodyguards who were at the scene.

Give me that.

- Hello? - Hi. This is Arnesen.

I need to talk to the bodyguard who was closest to the kidnappers.

Mr Defense Minister, the Foreign Minister is already here.

Are you ready, Arnesen?

Djupvik, Wenche Arnesen wants you to report immediately.

- Ready? - Yeah, I'm ready.

Now that the Justice Minister is here, we can begin. Arnesen?

We do not know where the helicopter is.

And no one has taken responsibility for the kidnapping.

So we still don't have a motive.

Do we know anything about the perpetrators?

The abduction must have been carefully planned.

A nationality? A language?

Let's hear from the bodyguard who was at the scene.

Djupvik?

This is Djupvik.

You are speaking to the cabinet.

Give us your description of the kidnappers.

I see the helicopter. I have to go!

What is happening? Djupvik?

Don't hang up!

Djupvik? Report back!

That is an order!

Talk to us, Djupvik!

Has something happened?

Jesper! Get down!

Get down!

Are you alone?

Yes.

Injured?

- No. - Let me check.

You're safe now.

Djupvik, I have the entire cabinet here!

Just give me a few seconds.

This is an emergency cabinet meeting. Do you read me?

- We lost him. - Find out what's going on.

Sorry. I should have stopped them.

No. It's good that you didn't.

It was good.

- I should have intervened. - No.

Someone could have been shot.

We can't stop this anyway.

I don't want a single life to be lost.

I need to report.

We have to get back to town as quickly as possible.

Oscar 3-0 has been found unharmed. I repeat: Oscar 3-0 is OK.

There are reports of a hostage situation on the Frøy platform.

An armed group has taken command.

Do we know who?

It's most likely connected to the PM's kidnapping.

But it can also be the start of something much bigger.

What kind of group could be responsible for such an attack?

- Is it a nation? - Not necessarily.

We know of others who are also capable.

But I recommend we initiate measures to be prepared.

We have two Orions at the ready. I request permission to use them.

Our armed forces are well prepared.

With the PM missing, we mustn't appear to be crippled.

I think we should listen to this.

Oscar 3-0, the prime minister is safe.

That's great news, Jesper.

Don't take any further action until I have briefed you.

Frøy has been occupied. The situation is precarious.

We should send some planes...

No! Definitely not.

It's the Russians. I have just had...

What do you mean?

- Do you mean Russia as a nation? - Yes.

Do not respond militarily under any circumstances.

Don't escalate the situation.

The consequences could be disastrous.

- Do I make myself clear? - Yes.

- Why didn't you answer my calls? - My battery's dead.

The prime minister has been kidnapped.

You're joking.

No way.

I was there when the helicopter landed.

He was pulled inside.

I was the only journalist there.

Jesper, where are you? When can you be here?

- 30 minutes. - Good. We'll wait for you.

Sorry, Berg. But we have our instructions.

The PM has no decision-making power when he is not present.

A Russian may be holding a gun to his head, telling him what to say.

That is highly unlikely. We would know if...

No one is holding a gun to my head!

Listen. I have just been in contact with the Russians and the EU.

If everyone cooperates, we can avoid an armed conflict.

And the Russians will withdraw their troops.

What is your decision?

We stick to procedure until the PM is here.

- Anne? - We'll follow your orders, Jesper.

This is my call, De Vibe.

The foreign minister is second in command.

- Not when we're under attack! - By one of the world's largest armies.

Two gas fields and another oil platform have been seized.

Sorry. We don't know who's listening at your end.

Hello?

Did we just lose contact?

I'm afraid so.

Drive as fast as you can!

No one can confirm the kidnapping.

They don't know how to handle the situation.

Are you 100% sure of what you saw?

I see a helicopter.

You may have misinterpreted the situation.

The prime minister was kidnapped!

I just got a message.

The prime minister just entered the government building.

Hi. Good to see you.

Do we have any planes in the air?

- Yes. - OK.

Come back in with me.

Recreational drugs?

Did anyone move the bags or touch them or open them?

Not that I saw. But they were out on the table.

On the table? So they were visible?

Any further questions?

Let's take a 15-minute recess.

- Hi. - Where are you?

At work.

- Can you get Andrea? - It's your turn.

Just do it. And go to your mother's.

- Has something happened to Andrea? - No.

I'll explain later.

It's my first day in court. What's going on?

- I can't tell you over the phone. - Why not?

Just...

It isn't safe downtown.

What do you mean?

War might break out.

What do you mean? War? Where?

I have to go back in. You get Andrea. I'll call you later.

We can take back our installations. We have rehearsed this scenario.

- What good will it do? - This is how the Russians work.

We can't negotiate if they don't respect us.

We're beyond negotiating.

I understand you're traumatized, but this is a Russian game.

- This is no game! - What if Bent is right?

- Until we know what they want... - It isn't just the Russians!

Jesper.

Mari?

I am sorry. We have tried to warn you.

- Is Sweden in on this? - It's a joint responsibility.

The Norwegians will understand we have to work with the Europeans.

No, you don't understand.

Look, they're armed.

- Mari, get them to return me safely. - Shut his mouth!

- Let's get out of here. - Hang on.

We have a visitor at seven o'clock.

Prepare for departure.

- What about the visitor? - We have to go. We can't wait.

Stop him!

The planes are in position, the soldiers ready.

How long can we hold our own against Russia?

- Until we get help. - We won't!

USA won't lift a finger. This is why they withdrew from NATO.

We are all alone.

I am proud of how this cabinet has withstood all the pressure.

From the oil industry, from abroad. Threats of trade embargoes.

Now,

we are faced with a decision.

Are we willing to sacrifice thousands of human lives to no avail?

I have no other choice but to submit.

The Russian ambassador is here.

All right.

You can tell the Russian ambassador to wait.

We were democratically elected.

We are having a meeting.

Djupvik?

- Are you all right? - Yes.

Do you have a good reason for hanging up on us?

The prime minister told me to.

I see.

- So you just found him? - Yes. On a forest road.

- I think they wanted me to find him. - How so?

They probably knew he had a tracker.

Most likely they knew where I was when they released him.

- Did Berg mention that in the car? - No.

How did he seem?

Unharmed. But in shock.

Don't investigate my kidnapping. It never happened.

Take the rest of the day off.

Please.

Thomas Eriksen, "New Time". Leave a message.

Hi, Thomas, it's me. I need you here now.

That journalist from New Time saw what happened.

Did he understand what was going on?

He's stubborn. And he's waiting for you.

Eriksen?

- Are you all right? - Yes.

- I saw the helicopter... - It must have looked dramatic.

It was an exercise.

No, it wasn't.

Anything else will be denied.

- I'm still going to write about it. - Really?

- I have pictures. - Of an exercise.

I recommend that you drop it.

- Why? - I'll give you an exclusive interview

regarding the new situation I'm going to inform the nation about.

MEDICAL CERTIFICATE

I have had the craziest day. Remember the...

Go do the dishes.

Where's your crew?

Could you turn up the volume?

Is this resolution a result of international pressure?

Reactions were unexpectedly harsh

to our announcement regarding the end of oil.

The Norwegian government doesn't want

to force the EU to think differently.

We want dialogue, cooperation,

to solve the climate crisis.

This simply gives the EU time to implement the necessary changes.

Are you reneging on your own policies?

What's important to us

is to continue the development of clean energy.

Thomas?

What are you doing?

Turn that off!

That is why we have accepted Russian assistance

to restart our oil production.

This will feel strange to many.

We will see a larger Russian presence in certain parts of the country.

But the only real change for us

will be a small upturn in the economy.

Thank you.

Get ready for the next item. Run the intro.

Well done.

Hi!

Was that good?

Hi!

Hi.

- Are you all right? - Sure.

- You heard the news? - Yes, on the way here.

But I don't recall them mentioning anything about war.

- No. - No.

You always expect the worst. Sometimes everything works out.
