Suicide. Many young men choose it. Greenland has the highest rate in the world.

It undermines me to re-employ her.

I draw a line over our crooked start. I hope you will return.

Russia has violated the sovereignty of our NATO ally Denmark.

Oil is an international crisis. We are establishing a completely new company -

- with Danish, Greenlandic and Chinese participation.

I promised my boss not to see you. It's not just my job.

I can easily produce facts about no climate consequences of the oil.

The storm around Nyborg will not subside.

She lies close to Signe Kragh.

I challenge you to fight for the presidency of the New Democrats.

Something wrong?

No, there was just a dead mole on the garden path.

- It usually does not. - I guess it's just nature.

"Environmentally conscious extraction will hardly be seen in the global CO2 accounts."

- You would think it was fake news. - It is a recognized climate scientist.

You have to be on TV with your son and talk about being a political family.

We postpone it because of all that with your party.

We keep it. It signals profit that I take my time.

There is an extraordinary party congress on Sunday. A new chairman must be elected.

No, it does not have to.

Electing to run for president is not the same as electing a new president.

We will soon have an agreement on Greenland and the distribution of oil revenues.

I just want to say -

- that I do not expect any government crisis or cabinet reshuffle.

When Jon does not have the party's support -

- he continues as minister, but I get a new deputy chairman.

We then take note of that. Niels Erik, do not you want to post?

We have established a company to manage the Chinese company.

The Chinese hate it. The United States can live with that.

It is called Green Oil & Energy to signal Greenland and green ideals.

The county governor is furious, but can do nothing but accept it.

The founding documents will be signed tomorrow by my Arctic Ambassador.

We seem to be preventing their independence.

- That is why we must move forward quickly. - Shall we meet Greenland a little?

I think you, Birgitte, should sign the agreement.

- So I'm going to Greenland tomorrow? - Yes.

We get busy arranging a visit.

I have a party congress on Sunday.

I think that would be a very nice gesture, Birgitte.

There have been writings on social media about you.

Tell readers how you feel about it.

It annoys me when it removes focus from the academic.

Fortunately, I am preoccupied with other things on a daily basis.

Isn't it always stressful to have to deliver?

- What did you say? - Is it always stressful to deliver?

It's part of the job. We must always come out and be the best.

I see journalism as a life task and love my work.

Torben, you run analysis in both broadcasts.

Is everyone involved? Well. Then we get started.

Are we moving forward with the plans for the presidential showdown on Sunday?

We run full plate. New study desk, summon experts and myself.

- It sounds expensive. - You will join as a Nyborg expert.

It must not look like I want to. I would like to avoid more writings.

None of you. But of course I want it.

I want to talk about Dagens Danmark, as Magnus says, you should go.

Is that a good idea? He's up to run over himself.

He asked me for it. He wants to focus on that New Earth.

- Yes, but we have to take care of him. - He must learn to take care of himself.

Now Ida came. Hey darling. Consider whether this is a good idea.

Yes Yes. Bye Bye.

Hey darling.

Hi Mom.

- Shall we eat together later? - Yes I would like to.

My name is Louis. We talked on the phone together.

We're ready for you in two minutes. Come with me.

Denmark has had several political dynasties -

- where generation has followed generation at Christiansborg.

A new dynasty is on the way. Magnus and Birgitte Nyborg.

- Welcome. - Thanks. Nice to be here.

You're still a student, but have made your name -

- as a representative of New Earth, which criticizes the oil project -

- as you stand behind. What is it like to be criticized by your own child?

We have always appreciated a good discussion.

Who agrees with his parents at that age?

Especially when the parents' decisions are wrong.

Still, can you enjoy a good dinner?

We have fun after he called me a climate traitor when I make beef.

- You're really after mom? - I forgive her the beef.

But why is she ruining the world by burning oil off with China -

- which in three years has used more cement than the United States throughout the 20th century?

In a nice article on 2.dk, a leading climate researcher emphasizes -

- that in the big picture there will be no consequences for the oil.

So it's okay to build a small concentration camp -

- because some once built some much larger.

Then stop for an example.

No, honey. Its not the same. It's a distasteful comparison -

- which your generation often resorts to. It's historylessness.

I'm historyless because your generation has smashed the world -

- so mine must fight for the future.

Many young people throw mud and criticize the world we have created -

- instead of making constructive suggestions.

Many young people study and fight for a better world ...

I do that for New Earth and have explained -

that the climate scientist from the article has been hung out -

- to tinker with statistics and pass on pseudoscience.

Magnus, before you go out with scientists -

should you take to get an education and a job.

I pay for your vegan pizzas.

You borrow my car when you have to be questioned for animal cruelty.

Is it related to being green and zero fuel?

It quickly becomes a bit of a double standard.

We let it hang in the air. Now it's about ice cream.

Shut up, you're far out!

Relax now. You should not take it personally.

- May I ask for your microphone, please? - Yes.

- Are you going to drive? - No, I'm cycling there.

- Gustav, the knife must be on the right. - So.

Hov, the potatoes. Honey, were you in control of the potatoes?

- Take off. - Thanks.

- What time do you play? - So ...

Six o'clock.

The potatoes are quite hard.

- Mom, they're completely cold. - What?

- The potatoes are completely cold. - You forgot to cook them.

- Pardon. I'm boiling them now. - No, that's fine.

What are we going to do with all that starch? We take salad.

- It's my boss. - No, we can not just ...

- I thought mom was the boss. - Yes.

But there is always someone who is even more boss.

- I did not catch you. - It was my turn to cook.

I must make a statement prior to the negotiations on the media settlement.

I need 10-15 strong pages from the news department. Can you help me?

- Yes of course. - Super.

It would be good if it could be ready on Monday.

- Stop it. - Do not look at him.

How many times do you need to know? You're driving us crazy! Stop!

Tensions in the Arctic rise -

- because the USA patrols over Greenland with F-35s.

Foreign Minister Birgitte Nyborg has announced her arrival in Greenland -

- to sign an agreement between Denmark, Greenland and China on oil.

You borrow my car when you need to be questioned about animal cruelty.

People really care a lot about Dagens Danmark from yesterday.

That was not so bad, do you think?

I can not find Magnus. His profile has disappeared.

He has not deleted it. I can see him.

- Maybe he blocked you. - Blocked me?

Yes.

Now.

It is reported that there is agreement on the distribution of oil revenues -

- but not everyone is equally excited.

Hans Eliassen, what is the problem?

Denmark has exercised its preferential right to acquire a larger share.

Now begins a new colonial era.

Hey, Tanja.

- What are you doing here? - Can I sleep here?

My mom and dad get involved in everything and my friends do not understand anything.

Tanja, it's not possible.

Hey, hey, what's going on? Look at me.

Tanja?

Tanja?

Tanja, come, come, come. You can not lie here.

What happens, what?

You're sailing around. Why are you not in school?

- Do not you miss ...? - Who do you think I miss?

He did not kill himself. I just know!

I know.

Sometimes in life you have to accept that things do not make sense -

- no matter how hard and unhappy they are.

I feel completely alone.

Today we usher in a new era.

Green Oil & Energy is the beginning of a historic collaboration -

- between Denmark, Greenland and China.

It's my hope ...

That's my big hope -

- that cooperation will help solve the major global problems -

- and also create prosperity in the local community -

- and strengthen the ties between our countries.

- Thanks. - Thank you.

- Are we open to questions? - No!

Hans, was not that a slightly childish reaction?

The agreement we just smiled over confirms that nothing has changed.

It secures you several hundred billion kroner.

We are forced together in this.

Has Denmark made many mistakes? Yes. But you can not stand alone.

You have taken care of that. You have acted over our heads.

There are not enough highly educated Greenlanders to take over.

- You have no defense. - Others than Denmark can deliver it.

Russia, China and the United States are happy to take over, but they do not give you independence.

Denmark allows China to operate on other terms in Denmark.

Here they must do nothing because of the Thule base.

I cannot change your position between two continents.

You are an important ally of the United States, but not when we become independent.

That is why you do not want to get rid of Greenland. You are just as dependent on us.

I know.

We all do. We're just not talking about it.

Hi Mom. It's Laura. You go directly to the answering machine.

I've seen the interview. Honestly, you said the most far out things.

Magnus is sad and hugely hurt.

I hope you know. That was not damn okay, then.

Oliver? I want to go home to Denmark a little soon.

We fly 14.50. The mayor of Ilulissat has arranged a boat trip.

- It is possible to see whales. - Do I need?

Yes, it would be perceived arrogantly to say no to that.

- Well I can not ... - Have you seen how beautiful this is?

It's completely insane.

When I was a boy, the icebergs calved much further out than today.

The ice has retreated 15 km just in that time.

For us, it is clear that it is disappearing.

- Is there something wrong? - I saw a seal, but it dived.

Can you see the village in there?

I was born there. At the bottom of the Red Bay.

It got its name because the sea turns red when we fling the whales.

- How many whales do you catch? - You can not say that.

In the old days we said: It is up to Sassuma Arnaa, Mother of the Sea.

She gives us prey when she wants to be generous.

And take them from us if we are greedy.

- Is it ...? - Yes, the Chinese.

- Oh boy. A bit of a game. - They blow up the whole mountain.

It's actually a bit my fault.

I allowed them to use the area where my hunting lodge stands -

- and they gave me this nice boat as a thank you.

Maybe it's a little more my fault anyway.

What did you get for it?

Law to continue to be foreign minister.

Power.

In my old boat I got hundreds of seals.

With this boat, I have not got a single one.

The mother of the sea probably thinks I'm too greedy.

We do not like the idea of breaking the agreement -

- because it will damage Denmark's reputation as a credible partner.

Yes, and we just signed the agreement.

What if we do not simply break the agreement?

What if something forced us to do it? Something about the contract law.

Are you challenging the agreement?

No, no, we're just brainstorming. Come on.

- Could it be something with nature? - Yes please.

It may be nature, but there we have been.

Neither the humpback whale, the herring whip nor the bowhead whale are endangered.

The bowhead whale may be becoming ...

There may be other prey.

- I just have to run. - Okay.

I love you.

I'm with you.

I'm with you.

I did not know you were home.

I've called you so many times.

I thought first you came home tomorrow.

- Shall we not just ...? - No, we do not need anything more.

- Well, but let me drive you. - No thanks.

Could it just be the two of you? Is it okay? If it is ...

- I'm on my way to the airport. - Your minister is probably fierce.

She takes 50% and congratulates us.

- Hans, do you have just two seconds? - Sit down.

I want to tell you something about Malik. He ...

He said he's glad you take such good care of Tanja.

You just had to know.

- She's my daughter. - Yes of course.

I am leaving. Goodbye, Asger, and thanks for now.

- See you. - Yeah see you.

Emmy?

I just wanted to say goodbye.

It is for you. Knud Rasmussen, "The great sleigh journey".

So.

What the hell are we doing?

This is the least romantic one can imagine.

It's not romantic not to know -

- whether I can make it work with my husband. He knows nothing.

It was not romantic either -

- to take a regret pill the day after our first time.

You go home, and I to Copenhagen, as if this had never happened.

So that has not had any consequences, right?

It is about avoiding consequences.

Nothing must really hurt. Nothing must be really necessary.

But it hurts when you say you've taken a regret pill.

It is the perfect image that you can change everything.

- That's just the way it is. - What if this's right?

What if we two are ... What if we two are each other's necessity?

It would require us to be brave.

Knud ...

He was brave.

So he knew he had lived when he died.

The question is whether the rest of us know that too.

Yes.

Will the Minister of Justice be fired and Nyborg overthrown?

May New Democrats leave the government?

"A lot can succeed in politics if you want to give others the credit for it."

Today, it is undeniably the kingdom, the power and the honor that are being fought for.

- How nice. - Why are you so nice?

Because I'm going to be on TV, honey.

I would rather be here with you.

"To love his destiny and his work." Great headline.

Is that the energy you're sending me off with?

Honey, that's fine. Take care of your work, I'm holding the fort. Does not?

- Okay. Fine. - Fine.

... and then the next committee meeting. This.

- Yes? - Excuse me for interrupting.

The President of the United States would like to speak with you.

- The president? - On the safe line. About Greenland.

There is a plan for personal drama when New Democrats go to the polls.

Not just between two candidates, but two incumbent ministers -

- namely Berthelsen and Nyborg.

With us today we have TV1's political editor, Torben Friis. Welcome.

Party chairman Birgitte Nyborg has arrived.

Do you think you have a majority in the party?

The parliamentary group usually represents the members' position.

I hope that if we arrived split, we will leave here together.

In a little while we will have a nice visit from our news director, Katrine Fønsmark.

Who was Nyborg's press manager.

- She's not ready. Jump to Benjamin. - What do you expect from the congress?

- My loyalty lies with Nyborg. - Benjamin, out to Sejrø.

What is your expectation for the showdown?

It's a day of mourning when a party is plagued by wing wars -

- but the showdown is necessary.

Just a moment.

It's damn ten years too early with hot flashes.

Hi, Birgitte. I'll be on in a while, so I should just steam off.

- Are you okay? You seem a little hectic. - I'm fine.

I assume you are your Nyborg expert.

I hope you stay too good to be too private.

How I am as a mom and stuff like that.

- Of course. That's not the plan. - Fine.

- See you. - We do.

Yes Yes.

Therefore, dear friends, there is something you need to know.

If I stand tonight as your new President -

- then I want one and only one invitation to Birgitte Nyborg.

And it reads: Dear Birgitte -

- do you not want to be part of New Democrats again?

So.

- Two minutes. - I start by introducing you.

- I'll come later. - Katrine, you must not go now.

Very surprisingly, Bent Sejrø has asked to speak.

This is a sign that Nyborg is under pressure -

- when she asks her perhaps last friend in Danish politics to speak for herself.

"What are my options?"

These were Birgitte's regular questions when she was Prime Minister.

The first woman on the record.

Perhaps also one of the best prime ministers we have had. Why?

Because she managed to show us her human.

She was also the first prime minister to take maternity leave.

It is to be ahead of its time.

Machiavelli wrote 500 years ago -

- that it was better for the prince to be feared than to be loved.

Because he did not support democracy, but supported ... tyranny.

For Birgitte, it is the other way around. We support her because we love her.

But you know what?

Lately, I'm starting to fear you, my girl.

Birgitte, I can no longer see your human being.

I've lost it. Or you have lost it yourself.

That's why you have deprived me of the opportunity to support you -

- because ... I can no longer find you.

Therefore, dear friends, I am voting for the candidate I can recognize.

Namely Jon Berthelsen.

- Torben? - We were taken with our pants down.

A completely paralyzing announcement from Bent Sejrø -

- who in all Nyborg's years in politics has been her faithful friend.

Nyborg is still strong. The battle is not lost yet.

Okay, you're down to bed, but you can still get up.

I saw you win the election by saying you were too fat in your purple dress.

- It's her, Bent can not see. - That's why you have to trap him.

He stabbed you in the back. Now the gloves are off!

We have 45 minutes, so you must be down there.

"Bent, I love you dearly, and your words always mean a lot."

"That's why it hurt to hear you're being screened for dementia."

If you do not challenge his credibility, you can not win.

I just need a moment.

Okay.

Get a handle on that speech.

I stand here with today's Politiken. The front page frames it all.

A cold Nyborg on a Chinese oil barrel, behind a Russian submarine -

- and American fighter jets and here a polar bear that is about to drown.

I can not recommend she gives the same speech.

"Sorry, New Democrats, what's the problem?"

We await the Prime Minister's comment. Put emotions on with Katrine.

Where is she?

- I'll find her. - You should not go too!

Narciza, you must wear it alone until Nyborg goes on.

- Do not give your most important speech? - Have you read my mail?

I have not received any mail. I'm just checking.

Yes, it did. So what?

Do you remember that nature conservation might weigh heavier than the agreement?

Where oil has been found, some whales live that are not endangered.

What if something lives in the water that whales depend on -

- who would be threatened?

- The water flea, for example. - Birgitte, damn it.

The Arctic is such a fragile ecosystem -

- that we do not know what happens when we sail around with oil tankers.

Can we find experts who will sign it?

Nadia Barazani can certainly help you.

Yes, funny.

- Hurry now to find those experts. - Are we for or against oil today?

It says in the email. Read it. And, Asger?

There's something I've been thinking about.

Her Emmy ... Maybe she was not a mistake after all.

She's here.

Fine. I'm taking it from here.

Just two minutes. I just have to ...

I just think you should stay here. You do not need anything.

You know what? You are not going anywhere.

I get hold of Søren.

Hi, Birgitte. I was just about to call you.

Do you remember our conversation about the importance of staying in the job?

You are philosophical before your big speech.

I landed last night after we signed a deal no one likes.

The Greenlanders feel we have taken too much.

We have a bad conscience towards Greenland and the climate.

The Chinese feel incapacitated by the United States flying at low altitude -

- to put the Russians in place. How did we actually end up here?

The motive on my part has most of all been to stay in the job.

So what I want to ask you a little philosophically -

- is, when enough is really enough.

- You probably have the answer to that. - Yes.

But you do not want to worry about it.

Birgitte Nyborg has still not turned up, and there is a full hall.

It is unprecedented that a chairman is absent.

If Nyborg does not participate in the election process -

- then Jon Berthelsen takes over the chairmanship.

Should we leave a position that we have been insisting on for many weeks -

- and in which there is a lot of prestige?

Normally I would answer no -

- but guess who called me an hour ago.

Americans have lost patience.

Sorry I'm late.

When I lost my father five years ago -

- I sat next to Bent Sejrø in the church.

I was incredibly sad that I had lost my father -

- but at the same time I had the feeling that I still had my second father.

And it's you, Bent.

So when you stood here just before and said you could no longer recognize me -

- then I thought I must have changed quite a bit anyway -

- if not even my Bent can see who I am

So I want to show you that today.

I want to say something important to you about power.

That is what we are fighting for today. The right to decide.

The power.

It's a word we're having a hard time with.

"By the earth to become serves us best" -

- because Denmark was born out of a defeat.

But one cannot be a politician without wanting power.

For without power we could not realize -

- all our policies. But power has its own life.

All of a sudden, you have abandoned everything you believed in.

Jon, I was trying to sniff you.

Knock yourself in place.

True to taking power from you. But Jon did not give in.

And do you know why?

Because what Jon believes in will always outweigh the power itself.

I got all the way out there saying terrible things to my own child -

- on TV to retain power.

Maybe I've changed -

- but I never hope I lose the ability to admit my mistakes.

I've finally realized -

- that the cost of Greenland's oil far outweighs the benefits.

It is similar to the path to independence, and we must help them achieve it.

But not at the expense of the nature that is the soul of Greenland itself.

That's why I can say that the government is no longer backing the oil -

as nature conservation considerations weigh heavier.

The case has created international strife, set shards in the relationship with Greenland -

- and is the primary reason for this match selection.

Dear friends, we must not fight against each other, but for what we believe in.

I believe in this party.

Sometimes life shows that a new chapter is starting.

It does that for me today as a politician and as a human being.

I resign as chairman and warmly recommend -

- that we elect Jon Berthelsen as the new chairman of New Democrats.

- Did it just happen? - I had not seen it coming.

Before I leave the microphone to Jon, I want to say to you, Bent:

I am right here. Do I End Up Unemployed -

- I hope I have to ask again: What are my options?

The government will not resign after Nyborg has gone as chairman.

Instead, it will be a minor cabinet reshuffle.

China is shutting down the oil project without further comment.

However, China lacks pandas -

- and has terminated the lease on the two pandas in Copenhagen Zoo.

The oil project is closed down in line with the decision from last year -

- not to be involved in oil extraction.

Few people are unhappy that the winner is ultimately the climate.

In addition, Russia and the United States have decided -

to withdraw the fighter jets they had deployed in the Arctic.

Not entirely bad for world peace.

I recognize Greenland's desire for independence.

I expressed this clearly and nicely by offering Naja -

- to increase the block grant, which she rejected with the words:

We must not be compensated by becoming further dependent on Denmark.

- Hi. Weren't we done? - I have an idea.

But do you not usually go straight to the press and tell me that afterwards?

Yes, but this one requires the Prime Minister's acceptance.

I suggest you set me up.

Interesting.

Think about shutting down a billion project to protect a water flea.

The flea lives in the White House.

- Have you heard of Hans Eliassen? - Meetings on rare earths. Uranium?

He probably smokes as foreign minister because he always goes alone.

Is it reminiscent of someone we know?

- Are you not going down and have a beer? - No, we have a badminton court.

Okay, do you see each other in private?

- You can do that well. You are on a level. - Not in badminton.

- Maybe we should just play. - You think you can win.

I was Herlev champion in the ninth. See you.

- Is he not from Hellerup? - Then I would not have hired him.

Treasure? You?

I have an idea to make an office for you in the barn.

It takes a few weeks before they can get power in.

I guess it's okay with a few weeks.

The doctor said three months.

May I show you?

Come, see.

You get your own department in here. We get all that shit out.

- We set up your desk here. - Why do I get my own department?

Because Gustav and Molly ... You said yourself ...

- What did they say? - Yes ...

That sometimes when you are pressured into your work -

- then it can be difficult.

You're the cutest man in the world.

You're afraid I'm starting too early.

- Nothing can happen to you. - I know.

Therefore, you will give me my own department.

So the kids do not disturb me and I do not snarl at them.

I've been thinking about something -

- as you probably also thought, but did not want to say to me.

I think I should resign. I'm going to write to Frederik -

- that I want to resign from the position of news director.

No, how glorious. Thanks.

We need to celebrate you are no longer acting.

You are hereby our Arctic ambassador.

- Like that. - A Brøndby scarf?

There is only one team in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

- Has Birgitte got me appointed? - She likes you.

It will be one of her last acts as foreign minister.

- Do we know what she's supposed to do? - She and Kragh have a small plan.

Then Nyborg is on his way to the queen. Hi, Niels Erik.

- What the hell? My former boss? - Has Narciza applied for the job?

Yes. It will not be fun to be a white middle-aged man. What are you doing?

I think I should write a book. Will you be with?

Yes, why not? What should it be called?

- "Denmark of Power". - I could have invented it myself.

We are standing here in the castle square, where we are to be introduced to the new ministers.

Usually a small castling does not attract many -

- but it is more a farewell to one of the great figures, Birgitte Nyborg.

Do you completely withdraw from politics?

- It's healthy with a new chapter. - Do you want to say something to everyone here?

Most politicians should remember: You are most popular when you go.

Thanks. No, there's my whole family!

Hey Baby.

Magnus Nyborg, are you surprised by your mother's decision?

I think it's mega cool -

- that she chooses to find herself, and that everything should not be about power.

Birgitte Nyborg? The European Commission must find a new commissioner.

Could you be a graduate?

By principle, I do not answer hypothetical questions.

So.

- You got a new job? - I do not stop thinking anything.

- We're ready now. - We'll take it later. I am working.

You're like her. You need to get back on political science.

I'm damn already started.

- Do you have control of the farewell reception? - Correct, and it became strawberry cakes.

- Are you looking forward to your new minister? - My work is the same.

- Good answer. - Men ...

They are lucky in Brussels.

I'm not sure they'll think so.
