A poison ampoule has been operated into her body.

-This isn't her fault. -No?

Your lover is the reason you're in this mess.

Money Russian oligarchs have stolen from the Norwegian people!

-Do we know who's behind the campaign? -You may not want to ask that.

Did Grete tell you she is mortally ill?

I was hoping you'd return those assets to the people.

-Why would I do that? -You'll be met with sympathy.

The perpetrator's name is Oddbjørn Haugen.

He was active in a digital hate campaign called #BrandThem.

Harald Vold has put words to people's anger.

His message is simple: The Russians are to blame.

That's why his party is leading in the polls.

The BrandThem activists also blame the Russians.

I wouldn't equate terrorists with a political party.

Over 50 Russians have been attacked.

Does Harald Vold legitimize these inhuman acts?

You could say that. He hasn't disassociated...

Jesper? Marie Elvestad is here.

So I see. Send her in.

-How are things? -You fired our consulting firm.

They were profiteers. We had to.

-The power plant is more important. -Sure, but...

We don't have time for this!

It's been three weeks, and we still don't have a replacement.

It isn't up to my office...

I thought we were going to cooperate.

We agreed that the climate is more important than political games.

I will take it up with the Industry Department.

-Are you laughing at me? -No, not at all.

I'm just not used to being talked to like this.

It's quite refreshing.

Mona, get me the industry minister in ten minutes.

There. Now we'll find someone to replace Stellux.

Great.

Anything else I can do for you?

Start dismantling all our oil and gas installations.

While you have the chance.

This is where you say: "We'll present a plan for that."

We'll present a plan for that.

Thank you.

Artjom, look at me! Artjom! Hi, Artjom!

Speak Norwegian, damn it!

The next time we'll brand you.

-We have you on film. -Show all your Russian friends!

Did you show this to the police?

They dropped the case. Said they didn't have the resources.

I'm chairman of a union that organizes Russian laborers.

I think it's because I help Russians in Norway.

-Let me talk to the police. -Don't.

They'll just put us on the BrandThem list.

No, those people throwing acid are extremists.

They have nothing to do with the police.

My friend went to the police to complain when they dropped his case.

He was attacked with acid.

The police cooperate with the terrorists.

Artjom, not when we have guests!

Come here, Artjom. Come, my boy.

Hi.

Can you use this video to help us seek asylum

in some other European country?

Yes, I can.

But if you, as chairman, leave, the other Russians will lose hope.

Have you thought about that?

My family comes first.

We no longer dare leave the house. We are afraid.

Sure, but...

I'll help you seek asylum.

But it will take some time.

In the meantime you'll need police protection.

Okay.

Why drop the case when the perps are so easily identifiable?

The police claim a lack of resources.

All I know, is the last Russian who complained was attacked with acid.

They are afraid.

Are you afraid?

Your husband, Hans Martin Djupvik, is also on the BrandThem list.

We can't let those who intimidate us, win.

She looks like you.

-More like you. -Like me?

Hi!

-See who she looks like? -No.

She's your second cousin.

Faben. She lives in Washington, D.C. Runs an accounting firm.

Genealogy? Are you suffering from work withdrawal?

My family is so boring.

Have you done your homework?

No, you haven't. Come on.

I have to show you something.

Did you know about this?

They just forgot to delete me after I quit my job.

My name is Grete Sundby.

I'm the mother of the man your son attacked with acid.

Oddbjørn said on TV that his father was killed by the Russians.

-You're asking about his father? -I'm just trying to understand.

Only Oddbjørn knows.

But he refuses to talk to me. Could you convince him...

Do you feel I owe you that?

No.

No, I don't blame you for anything he did.

But Fritjof getting hurt was my fault.

I convinced him to come home.

I'm sorry. I never should have come.

My husband died of emphysema.

-Oddbjørn said the Russians killed him. -He was no hero.

Oddbjørn fought for Free Norway.

-Why did he lie? -He does as he's told.

NEVER GIVE UP THE STRUGGLE, ODDBJØRN!

The oil workers were promised their jobs back.

That won't happen with Jesper Berg.

This isn't true. Many of them

now work at the new power station.

I understand that you are angry. You are furious.

You made us the world's wealthiest nation, and Jesper has forgotten you.

Harald, you are the one who is making people angry.

Angry, and very dangerous.

This is Oddbjørn Haugen, the first

to throw acid...

That has nothing to do with this debate.

Unfortunately, it does.

"Never give up the struggle, Oddbjørn." Greetings, Harald Vold.

It's beneath my dignity to comment on that.

And beneath yours, too.

Wow!

-Sure you can handle this? -I wouldn't miss it!

Of course.

I'm inspired by the way you challenge the Russian regime.

Just like your party does, Mr. Kalnietis.

That's why we like you so much here...

in Lithuania.

And not just in the gay community.

I have a proposal for you, Miss Sidorova.

Walk with me.

I'm here to ask for your endorsement

in the upcoming elections, Miss Sidorova.

Are you sure?

You need to think about how you appear to the public.

I beg you, Miss Sidorova.

Don't misunderstand what just happened.

Personally, I have no prejudices.

I know this is a very conservative country.

The majority of our voters condemn homosexuality.

And transsexuality is worse.

My party would never win if I openly supported that.

I understand, Mr. Kalnietis.

Please, Miss Sidorova. Call me Tavas.

Such a beautiful name. It means "peacock," right?

Yes.

I understand why you hide your sexual orientation.

No, I'm...

I'm perfectly normal. I'm married to a woman.

Look. Is this you?

You're leaving the apartment of a very young man.

And here you are, in the apartment. Is that a regular family man?

Are you okay, Tavas?

What?

Why are you showing me this?

Do you want money?

No. I just want to make sure you pick up the phone the next time I call.

Of course.

But I would be most grateful

if you could delete those photos.

It won't make any difference. A friend in the FSB gave them to me.

But I will be happy to endorse your party.

Bye.

Fritjof will do the TV interview.

-That's very noble. -He has spoken to other victims.

We sure appreciate you doing this, Jesper.

-Good. -I have to say it again:

Don't make BrandThem a point in your campaign.

You create confusion about your position.

The prime minister has to take exception to those actions.

Sure, but that may encourage the activists.

-You'll give Vold more attention. -But the acid attacks will continue.

You had a strategy to deal with this.

Have Njord plant a virus that targets the users.

And makes their names public.

This is the prime minister's office!

-Ride with me. -Thank you.

Talk to you guys tomorrow.

Are we done?

Are you still there?

Yes. It's beautiful up here.

I know. Go on inside. It's unlocked.

No, not without you here.

Don't worry about that.

I called to hear how your plan is going.

Dismantling the oil and gas installations?

-Yes. -It's going great.

We'd love some input from you.

Maybe I should come for another visit.

Sure. You're welcome to do that. Anytime.

-Then we have a deal. -Great.

Every day, six-year-old Ella has looked up at her father's face.

There she has found reassurance and warmth.

Her entire life.

Until the day someone decided to throw acid in her father's face.

The decision to maim Fritjof was made the same day

he paid back the money he had made during the occupation.

Why did you say my mother was sick?

That's a great question, Fritjof.

Why was this generous act so dangerous to Harald Vold?

Because he's dependent on sowing hatred between Norwegians.

He's dependent on that to win an election.

To win an election.

Rune, Sara, Fritjof, Andreas.

As your prime minister, I guarantee

that Vold will be held responsible for these acts.

I understand Tangen is investigating the case.

That isn't good enough. I want to talk to her tomorrow.

You have seen the evidence.

I will hold the police accountable if anything happens to them.

Help!

You should have seen his eyes.

He hated me.

He didn't hate you personally.

He's afraid of losing the Norway he knows.

There.

Hi.

-I thought you'd have a hundred bags. -I wasn't shopping.

Look.

What is this?

I went to a local clinic my new friends showed me.

What is it? A boy?

It's too soon to tell.

I think it's a boy.

Then he looks like Jesper Berg.

No, he's beautiful.

But they found something strange here.

Right here.

He didn't know what it was.

He was going to consult some other doctors.

I'm going back in the morning.

How are you doing?

Surprisingly well.

Going somewhere?

Yes, I have a meeting. I'm a little late.

It can wait.

You're staying home.

Bye!

Do you have everything?

The police is reopening your client's case.

Great! Why?

Officially: New evidence has surfaced.

And unofficially?

The brass saw your TV stunt. I hope you're happy.

Not until Spartak's family gets police protection.

You can't demand that.

I can demand the threats be taken seriously. I was attacked myself.

Fine. I'll request protection.

-Sure you don't know what it is? -Of course not.

It looks like an ampoule of glass or silicon. I can't say what it contains.

But where did it come from?

There's a small incision by your pelvic bone.

How could they do it without me knowing?

-That must be where they inserted it. -Can you take it out?

Without risk for Lyuba or the baby?

-What do you mean, risk? -We can remove it.

But there seems to be some sort of electronic device attached.

And it's covered with some substance.

-What kind of substance? -Calm down. We need time to think.

I don't need to think. I want it out now!

What if it harms the baby?

-We'll discuss this at home. -Don't you understand...

What do you know about this?

They put this in me in Georgia, didn't they?

I don't know.

You're lying. Why didn't you let her remove it?

-I don't want to risk anything. -So you know it's dangerous.

I know nothing.

Fine!

If she isn't worried about me, then damn it, I'll just--

-Stop it. -I'll cut a hole and...

Stop it.

It's a poison ampoule.

It can be triggered to burst remotely.

Via mobile phone.

But why? Why?

I can't tell you.

But it's very dangerous for you and the baby.

Spartak, the police are coming to protect you.

Okay. Bye.

-Where have you been? -I had to help a client.

We have a surprise for you.

A surprise?

-What is this? -A trip to Washington, D.C.

To visit your relatives.

When?

Next Friday.

I found out where they live.

How exciting!

How long have you been planning this trip?

I should have told you sooner.

How long?

Since Ingrid died.

I see.

So it isn't just a vacation.

Norway isn't safe for us right now.

So you're just pretending to be calm?

Listen, it isn't safe here with Jesper in charge.

And it won't be any safer with Vold.

You've felt that yourself.

We have a responsibility to Andrea, too.

The oldest Condeep constructions are rooted to the ocean floor.

Their base is the size of nine football fields.

So they will be cut, and wind turbines will be added.

They can withstand that force.

The new constructions

will be able to receive CO2, that will be pumped under the seabed.

When can we start?

We're looking at starting up in early November.

Thank you.

I don't often get to take walks like this.

Why wait till after the election?

First the EU forces have to leave, then we can start dismantling.

The EU will never be satisfied.

Apparently you won't either.

If you don't win the election, this will become

another planet-saving project that ends up a pipe dream.

But I'm going to win the election.

And when I do, I'm going to offer you the post of climate minister.

-That sounds like a bribe. -It isn't.

You're smart. You're blunt.

People trust you. Maybe that's just what we need to win.

-That definitely sounds like a bribe. -It isn't.

-I mean it. -It sounds like it.

Okay.

Sorry, that...

That won't work.

No. Sorry.

You can't offer me the world's coolest job,

and then try to kiss me. That's just wrong.

It would be like making out with your father. Not a chance.

Did you ask Oddbjørn Haugen to start BrandThem?

No, I did not ask him to start BrandThem.

But I fought with him in Free Norway. I know he loves justice.

And he felt the profiteers should be punished.

The latest poll shows that a majority prefers Harald Vold

as prime minister over Jesper Berg.

Vold's alleged connection to BrandThem

does not seem to have affected his popularity.

On the contrary.

BrandThem

is a desperate response to the rage people feel.

Jesper Berg is the one who is responsible.

He isn't even ashamed.

You need to distance yourself from Fritjof.

People don't want to identify with the victims.

70% of undecided voters agree more with Vold than you, regarding profiteers.

Listen to this: "They deserve acid in their faces."

-You've made Vold more popular. -No.

You've made Vold more popular.

You're shooting the messenger.

Because the messenger created a campaign called BrandThem.

We started that campaign to help you. We couldn't know...

You claim to understand what people are thinking.

It isn't our fault that Vold...

I'm getting tired of your excuses!

You started this, you fix it.

Do you turn away, or go between and say stop?

Very few dare say stop, out of fear.

We in the Unified Party want to stay stop.

We want justice for everyone in Norway. No one should feel left out.

Are you convinced?

I already was convinced.

Excellent.

-Have a seat. -Is Elena here?

No, she's in Bodø with our son.

They're visiting my parents.

What did you have in mind?

I'm leaving town and wanted to tell her.

Will you be gone long?

Long enough that she should find a new attorney.

Too bad.

We were impressed with the way you handled the Sokolov case.

It's our job to protect the vulnerable in society.

Hilde...

we could really use you here.

In the party.

-As an adviser? -As a politician.

It would give you a larger platform to fight from.

As our justice spokesperson.

Wow.

I would really...

love to do that, but I can't.

I have to think of my family first. I have to leave.

Take this.

Just wait here.

I'm waiting.

Do you know how to do it?

Come on!

Excellent!

-You can't bring that, Andrea. -I have to practice for Norway Cup.

We'll buy a new ball when we get there.

We have to tell her she'll miss Norway Cup.

Wait till we get there.

We can't wait any longer now.

Andrea, could you come here?

-Do you know what BrandThem is? -Those people who get attacked.

-But they get warned first. -How?

No! Spartak?

Do you know him?

At 9:30 p.m. a fire broke out at the house of a Russian union leader.

A child has suffered severe burns.

The police have not ruled out arson. The firemen...

Spartak. Is your son okay?

He has burns on his entire body.

How could this happen?

-We're trying to find that out. -Did you have police protection?

The police promised me protection! What happened?

I'll look into it. But first I want to hear from Sokolov.

-Is he a suspect? -Not necessarily.

Good. He won't answer any more questions

until you question those who threatened his family.

You shouldn't provoke them.

They want to avoid answering why you didn't have protection.

-I need that insurance money. -You'll get it.

What are you worried about?

The thing is, it's my fault the smoke detector didn't work.

I took the battery out to put it in Artjom's toy.

I need that insurance money to pay his medical expenses.

Okay, you stay here and take care of your family.

-I'll take care of the police. -Okay. Thank you.

Can an investigation reveal if a fire detector was working?

No, best case, they'll find the remains of the detector in the ashes.

Would they find the batteries?

Yes, probably, but that doesn't help.

You can't prove if they were defective.

-What, Irina? -The kompromat is delivered.

Let's use the e-mail account we agreed on.

Understood.

I asked Kalnietis

to move the military exercise the EU is planning to the Balkans.

-Why are you calling? -I have a question.

"Question" means "objection."

That ampoule you put in Lyubov...

Don't worry about it.

-How can I not worry about it? -It's just a guarantee.

You have to take it out before she gives birth.

That's not possible. How could I trust you afterwards?

You can put it in me.

I can't send anyone until we win the election.

-We can go to Russia! -No, Irina, don't talk nonsense.

Want Europe to become suspicious of Love Without Limits?

Make sure we are happy with the election results in Norway.

Then we can remove the ampoule.

Maybe you can explain it to me now?

I have a right to know why they touched me, touched our baby.

They want me to do something for them.

What?

It's better you don't know.

It's my life. I have a right to know. It's our baby.

I'm in tough negotiations with European politicians.

Are you blackmailing them?

Lyuba.

Please.

Are you doing it in our name?

Are you using Love Without Limits?

Why are we going to Brussels next week, on Monday?

I have a meeting there.

-At the conference on human rights? -That too.

Don't you realize they are poisoning our life?

They are ruining our family.

They are killing our baby.

I'm doing this for us.

-For you, for our baby. -I don't buy it. It's a lie.

It's the truth.

It's the truth.

You have no idea what I had to do to get you back from Moscow.

You can't even imagine. You don't understand.

I'm sorry.

I have no one but you and our baby.

Please forgive me. Forgive me.

Please forgive me.

Forgive me. I love you so much.

The Russians never admitted they had a military presence.

They even had the EU deny it.

But this is typical. Truth is the first victim of war.

You who fought for our freedom know what I'm talking about.

You know what it's like to fight against elite Russian troops.

In this very area we saw action against Spetsnaz.

Here is a question from Trond H.

"Have you ever killed a Russian soldier?"

Once...

we found a Russian soldier right over on that bank.

Have you known him long?

Yes. Two, three years.

Were you friends?

We took a lot of walks.

Yes, I suppose you could call us friends.

O-30 here. There is a group of demonstrators outside the hospital.

-Yes, remain in the vehicle. -Roger.

They seem aggressive. Send support.

I shouldn't ask...

but will his followers stick with him now?

No, we don't believe they will. But that depends on what you do now.

What do you mean?

You know what I mean.

You told me to clean this up. You're welcome.

The rest is up to you.

Listen up. I am here now because Harald Vold is my friend.

We stood side by side during the liberation struggle.

I know better than anyone

that Norway wouldn't be free without Harald Vold.

I understand your anger, but don't turn on each other.

Harald's straight talk made him many friends.

But also many enemies.

But the BrandThem activists were not his enemies.

We have reason to believe

what happened to Harald was a Russian initiative.

We're leaving tonight.

I know, honey.

-Aren't you going to pack? -Yes.

Do you have more room? My suitcase is too heavy.

It was my fault.

-What? -Spartak's son.

You tried to help.

I don't want to be the kind of person who runs, leaving others behind.

The same could happen to us.

What about those who can't run?

When not even we dare fight for our beliefs?

We tried, Hilde.

We went after the symptoms. I want to change the premise.

I want to do something politically.

I want to help Bjørnstad.

Politics change politicians more than society.

Don't you trust me?

Hilde, you're the only person I do trust.

I don't want to go.

I can't.
