Borgen (2010–2013): Season 2, Episode 7 - Hvad Indad Tabes, Skal Udad Vindes - Del I - full transcript
With the coalition at its lowest ebb, financier Joachim Crohne asks Birgette to intervene in the civil war between North and South Kharun which is crippling his oil industry interests. So, Birgitte secretly flies to Africa.
Laura had an anxiety attack. I think
you should put her on medication.
We don't condone
giving kids happy pills!
During your time in office,
she's been a proper little adult.
This has made Laura anxious.
Pills are your best option.
Who's Stine?
You fuck her twice a week.
Katrine, I love you.
If you love someone,
you share your secrets with them.
Bent, I'm so terribly sorry
about all this.
- Amir is a media darling.
- Let's put a little pressure on him.
This isn't our policy. The Green
Party is resigning from government.
- I've lost my bearings.
- We couldn't know this was coming.
"Danes are doubters because
Denmark's history is the story -
- of the downfall of a strong tribe."
- Johannes V. Jensen
He's in the Hall of Mirrors with coffee
and his favourite cookies.
- I'll just be a moment.
- You don't keep Crohne waiting.
He'll have to get used to being
treated just like the next guy.
And don't go overboard with special
cookies just because it's Crohne.
That's the third jacket
you're trying on, isn't it?
I'm here because of Africa,
but let me begin with something else.
For the past 10 years Denmark has
joined forces with the US in wars.
Our immigration laws have done away
with our image as a tolerant nation.
Thanks to your good friend Hesselboe.
Our poor reputation in the Muslim
world has cost Denmark a fortune.
Maybe DKK 1.5 billion a year.
But now is our opportunity
to set that right -
- by taking a closer look
at one of Africa's forgotten wars.
- Which one?
- Kharun.
- You're aware of the situation?
- Of course.
Civil war. The Christian south
wants independence.
The Muslim north is opposed.
The EU has tried to find a mediator
among the union's heads of state.
Africa is complicated. It's too much
of a political risk to take on the job.
- You aren't up for it either, ma'am?
- What is your engagement in Kharun?
In cool cash.
A DKK 5 billion entrepreneurship deal
to build oil refineries.
The interests of Denmark's largest
corporation can't dictate my policy.
That wouldn't be the case.
You'd be doing it for Africa.
It won't appear so.
So I'm afraid I have to let you down.
My first impression of you
was that of a visionary woman.
- What changed?
- Nothing.
I just prefer my visions to be my own.
Continued fierce fighting yesterday
in the oil province of Sarifan -
- around the town of Orisia
in Kharun.
Up to 250,000 people
have fled the area.
Foreign Minister
Hans Christian Thorsen -
- any positive outcome of last
night's Security Council meeting?
- I'm afraid not.
- They did not reach an agreement?
Yes, they agreed to urge
the African Union -
- to solve the conflict
as soon as possible.
But has the African Union ever
stopped an armed conflict?
- Not to my knowledge.
- Thank you. More on this later.
A friend at Berlingske Daily
sent me this.
The Freedom Party's new campaign.
THANKS TO THE PM FOR INVITING
LOTS OF NEW GUESTS
You're welcome, Svend Ǻge.
Episode 17
What Is Lost Inwardly
Must Be Won Outwardly - Part One
- They don't mince words.
- They already began campaigning.
- But election is a year away.
- At the most, yes.
The opposition knows Nyborg is
in a tight spot.
Let me interview the PM
in the News at 8:30.
Let's think even bigger.
Saltum, Hesselboe in one corner.
- Nyborg and Thorsen in the other.
- Know what? That's a great idea.
Let's do it in our new debate format.
What's it called again?
- "Dilemma".
- Yes. Gotta love a live audience.
- Katrine, you do it.
- You bet.
But only permanent presenters
host "Dilemma". Sorry, Katrine.
- It's all about network branding.
- Listen to him go. You take the 8:30.
Simon takes the 6, Ida's on leave.
It's bloody good branding not to go
black screen on our viewers.
Get it? Good. The three of us need to
discuss brief and international news.
Right.
- Kalle. What are you doing here?
- I freelance now.
Meaning you monitor the police radio,
while everyone else sleeps.
That too. I took some pictures
of Joachim Crohne's limousine.
- See where's it heading?
- Parliament.
Not a frequent guest there. The PM
isn't in cahoots with big business.
Think you guys can use it, or do only
nerds like you find it interesting?
Let me see if I can get
Torben interested. See you.
Roast chicken is fine. Anne, please
get Magnus to eat his vegetables.
And have Laura take her pill
before she leaves, okay? Thanks. Bye.
- The Freedom Party ad?
- Yes. It's in almost all the papers.
Svend Ǻge got full value
for his marketing money.
Everyone wants us to comment on it.
TV1 called three times.
They want you in "Dilemma" tonight
with Svend Ǻge. I said no.
Blimey, we need a victory soon.
Why shouldn't we comment
on the Freedom Party's views?
It'll just confirm their criticism.
- We will get a lot of Kharun refugees.
- We've relaxed the immigration law.
But isn't this the time to emphasise
that ours is a different policy?
We must stand by the laws
we've carried through.
- So you want to go on air tonight?
- Indeed I do.
Hi, sweetie.
We've discussed Laura's condition,
and things are looking up.
- I think so, too.
- Great.
You look great with your new hair.
But you have trouble sleeping?
- I can't fall asleep.
- Even though you're exhausted.
A side effect can be lack of sleep.
If she takes the pills in the daytime,
she'll find it easier to fall asleep.
- How long should I stay on them?
- Depends on how it goes.
- Could you give us an estimate?
- A couple of months.
It's important
to keep taking the pills.
If you stop, you may experience
a serious relapse.
Learning to live with your anxiety
is a long, hard pull.
She'll get well.
No doubt about that.
Welcome, Katrine. We're going
to have a meeting. Right in here.
Okay, I'm the host. Nyborg knows
"Dilemma" has a live audience? Good.
Saltum and Hesselboe are on board.
We're still waiting for Thorsen...
He'll be there. We're only discussing
the Freedom Party's ad and Kharun.
- Oh, come on.
- No. And no election talk.
- We don't want to just yet.
- Wuss.
Okay, fine. I'm surprised
you agreed to go on at all.
Is it because I did the asking?
I tried to talk Birgitte
into declining.
Don't expect special treatment
just because we're dating.
No, Kasper. And that's mutual,
by the way.
- So, any comments on these?
- Dirty pictures of you?
It seems Joachim Crohne was here
for a meeting on the 3rd.
But when I check the PM's calendar,
there's no mention of it.
- I guess there was no meeting.
- But there are pictures of it.
We're on the 2nd floor. The Queen
disposes over the 1 st floor.
She plays bridge once a week
with Crohne.
The Queen uses her state apartment
for card games?
Ask the Queen.
Let's get back to the debate, shall we?
- True, the UN has some problems.
- I have to cut you off here.
Will the war in Kharun bring
more refugees to Denmark?
You can't look at it that way,
Svend Ǻge.
But won't the PM's
relaxed immigration laws lead to -
- more refugees
seeking asylum in Denmark?
Yes, Denmark will get more refugees,
when there's war in the world.
The government believes our nation
is obligated to help those in need.
Still, Nyborg, Denmark is struggling
with the financial crisis and debt.
- Can we afford to be idealistic?
- We can't afford not to.
We're the 12th richest country in
the world. These are people in need.
Lord almighty!
Why must it be on Danish territory?
Can't you just help them
in their own countries?
What do these people in their flowing
robes want in the Danish suburbs?
I'll tell you. Their country is at war.
Their home is in flames.
That's why we reach out to them.
Don't you feel obligated to do so?
It's wildly naive to think
little Denmark can make a difference.
Let me quote
our wise old poet Grundtvig:
"Our lot is not that
of grandeur and gale.
Let us stay close to the ground
whence we hail."
And so Grundtvig got the last word
in tonight's "Dilemma".
I'm sure the last word hasn't been said
in this debate. Thank you for coming.
Many villages have been destroyed.
The Security Council convened and
watched an interview with a girl -
- who had been gang-raped
by one of the many militias.
North Kharun's UN ambassador
rejects this as pure propaganda.
The five permanent members of
the Security Council did not agree -
- on adopting a resolution giving
the UN the mandate to intervene.
Nor were any
actual sanctions imposed.
The sole outcome was
a declaration of principle -
- urging both parties
to stop the fighting.
I need to talk to you here.
I know it's late.
- Coffee?
- No, thanks.
What is so important
it couldn't wait until the morning?
Say I told you I think we should
try to stop the war in Kharun?
Then I'd say "great".
- You're serious?
- I'm considering it.
The EU is urging a head of state
to mediate.
- No one has volunteered.
- Because it's a lost cause. Okay?
In my first speech I said I thought
Danes were better than they thought.
No, this is all about you.
You're pissed off because you can't
force anything through Parliament.
But it's 3 a.m., and we have
a long day ahead of us tomorrow.
Kasper, sit down.
Listen to me.
We have a unique opportunity.
We chair the Security Council
at the moment.
- The EU and the African Union...
- It's a mad venture.
The Norwegians tried to broker peace
between Israel and Palestine.
And they're still killing each other.
The Oslo Accords brought
Rabin and Arafat together.
They almost succeeded.
You've made up your mind,
haven't you?
Yes, I have now.
Hello, Sejrø.
Welcome back.
- Thank you, Niels-Erik.
- I think Birgitte is waiting for you.
- Bent. I'm so happy to see you.
- Likewise.
- Good to see you. How are you?
- Fine, as long as I take my pills.
You're looking good, cane and all.
You're doing fine.
Kharun?
Birgitte, you're insane.
Didn't you try to stop her?
- What do you think?
- A change is sorely needed.
Our foreign policy has been
passive for ages.
The PM's Office is high-ceilinged -
- to allow room for great thoughts to
be thought. And they sure are now.
So now what, Bent?
If this is to have the slightest
chance, one thing is crucial.
The North Kharun regime
is islamistic -
- and the conflict is already dubbed
a Muslim-Christian conflict.
You can't barge in,
a modern pro-American woman -
- and just drag North Kharun
to the negotiating table.
- A Muslim negotiator?
- Yes.
I know who,
but it won't be a walk in the park.
- Promise?
- Yes.
Hi.
- Hi, Sarah.
- Go inside, sweetie.
- She's grown.
- Yes.
Amir, I was sorry to see
you leave Parliament.
And about the way it happened, and
my part in it. You're smoking now?
Not officially.
You're aware
of the situation in Kharun?
Yes, a war is raging,
and the UN is paralysed as usual.
I'm contemplating becoming
an EU mediator.
North Kharun is Muslim,
so I'd like a Muslim negotiator.
Sounds like a doomed project.
I know you have the polls against you,
but isn't this a bit desperate?
A major African country faces
a catastrophe that could be averted.
You're just out to boost your image.
And I'm the nice Muslim and political
lever in your prestige project.
No.
This isn't about prestige.
I'm asking you to go with me
into a burning house.
Sorry.
It's not my burning house.
Good luck.
Honey?
Good to see you, Bent. Meet my
permanent secretary, Frederik Vedfeld.
Welcome.
Goodbye, Monsieur.
Okay, what are our chances of forcing
the parties to the negotiating table?
The British are choosing
to follow the American line on this.
- That line being?
- They won't pressure South Kharun.
The US "supports
fledgling democracies".
- With arms.
- Any other bad news?
France won't pressure North Kharun.
Nor will China. Their ambassador
made that very clear.
They are a population
of almost 1.3 billion -
- with increasing energy demands.
They buy oil in Kharun
and pay in arms.
So we're on our own in this attempt
to force them to negotiate.
But we've assembled a great team.
I spoke to Amir,
and he doesn't want in either.
Well, we won't get any further today,
so let's meet again tomorrow.
- Yes. Good to see you.
- Likewise.
This village was destroyed
long before the war broke out.
We all know Africa is suffering.
But it's yesterday's news, isn't it?
We want people who are alive,
vivid pictures and preferably Danes.
I won't settle for a phone interview
with a British anthropologist.
- Our news must be alive. Okay?
- Sure.
Well, get a move on, for fuck's sake.
- Aren't you going home, Bent?
- After you dragged me back in?
It's impossible.
No one is interested in peace.
That comes as a surprise to you?
You have one year left in that chair.
- Don't you want to do more?
- Sure. It sounds nice and easy.
Easy?
You want to make peace in Africa.
It's going to be the hardest thing
you ever set out to do.
You have something not many
people have. You've got power.
Everyone asks themselves
what they'd do if they had the power.
Sure. I'm the PM
for a population of five million.
You're head of state. Part of a club
with just 192 members world-wide.
If you call, they pick up.
So, what do you want to do?
- I want to stop that war, Bent.
- Fine.
- What are my chances?
- I'd put my money on the war.
You need an ally.
Someone charismatic -
- who will support you in the media.
Particularly the ones who hate you.
I'll try to broker peace in Kharun.
- Interesting.
- We may not succeed.
- I'm going out on a limb here.
- Why are you telling me this?
You want me to admire
your personal courage?
No, I want you to support me
in relation to the media -
- and your friends in the opposition.
What did you have in mind?
If I fail, you're going to go public
with your support for me the day after.
Not on page 8, but on the cover
of the right-wing papers.
Please remind your friend Hesselboe
to commend the PM on her initiative.
That's more like it, Mrs. Nyborg.
You're quite the businesswoman.
Thanks.
Well?
I'm trying to find
a Danish expert on Kharun.
No one referred me to a state official,
but to a businessman.
- Okay. Who?
- Niels Mikkelsen.
He works for Crohne Industries, and
Kalle gave me these the other day.
Crohne's limo arrives
at Parliament for a meeting -
- that doesn't exist in any calendar.
Coincidence?
Crohne meets in secret with the PM
after war breaks out in Kharun -
- in which he has invested billions.
Could be a coincidence.
- But it's our job to distrust people.
- Exactly.
Katrine Fønsmark from TV1 News.
Could I speak to Niels Mikkelsen?
Why didn't you want
to meet at Crohne?
Because I don't work
for Crohne Industries.
I'm a close business associate
of Crohne's, but I'm independent.
Do Crohne Industries want to conceal
their real business in Kharun?
Investing in the third world
is a high-risk venture. Many fail.
That's why Crohne Industries let
someone else make the overtures.
Seeing as Crohne Industries' presence
in Kharun is so significant -
- I guess Crohne has an economic
interest in securing peace.
That's a fair assumption.
Can you confirm
that Crohne is meeting with the PM?
You really have to ask Crohne
or the PM about that.
Government troops are allegedly
behind massacres in Kharun -
- to clear areas for oil companies.
Do you know anything about that?
No.
But it sounds terribly unpleasant.
Still, Africa is the land of many
rumours. It's easy to get confused.
- I'm sorry, but I have a meeting now.
- Thank you for your time.
Thank you, Monsieur Betancourt.
Talk to you later. Bye.
We've been through
all relevant Muslims.
None of them have
the charisma and clout we need.
We'll just have to make do
with an interpreter. Good morning.
We have Betancourt
and the rest of the EU behind us.
Kenya would like to play a part.
Their resources are small, but still.
Crohne is on board.
Unofficially, of course.
His powerful connections in Kharun
are going to pull some strings.
Time is essential.
The UN got these pictures from the US.
- More burnt-down villages?
- No. Troop concentrations.
- As could be expected.
- This is far from the front.
They're from the Nubisia region
in the North.
There's been ethnic tension between
them and the North Kharun regime.
This may end in ethnic cleansing.
Under the guise of war
many things can happen.
What time frame are we looking at?
- A ceasefire in four to six months.
- But how will the situation be then?
- Yes?
- Amir Diwan is here.
- It's a bad time?
- No.
So this is where
you make peace in Africa.
I want to help.
But don't think I'm doing it for you.
This is too important -
- for me to let my personal issues
with you get in the way.
- If you need my help...
- We do.
We've got an addition to the team.
I couldn't think of a better
Arab-speaking negotiator.
The diplomatic process may take
up to six months.
- Six months?
- Yes.
Well, we can be sure
they've killed each other off by then.
There is another way
of speeding up the process.
What if I, personally, conduct
the preliminary negotiations?
You want to go to Africa?
That's a gamble.
In my experience that will lend
respect to the entire peace project.
- Vedfeld?
- It'll demand a coordinated effort.
Isn't that what we're here for?
It's crucial to keep this under wraps.
We need to make the media believe -
- it's business as usual here.
We'd best get ready to leave
as soon as possible.
- Sorry, I'm a little late.
- No problem.
There's some leftover chicken
for you in the fridge.
- Is Laura okay?
- Yes. She's mostly been in her room.
- But we had dinner together.
- See you tomorrow.
Laura!
Laura, I'm home.
Come down, will you?
Hi, sweetie. Had a good day?
- Mum, I'm watching this.
- You need to turn it off, sweetie.
An important issue at work means -
- I have to go away
for a couple of days soon.
You're never home. We always have
to eat Anne's stupid chicken.
I know, but this is
a very important matter.
- Granddad has agreed to come.
- Granddad?
Fine.
- Okay?
- Sure.
Let me taste Anne's stupid chicken.
What's up, Laura?
I don't want to keep taking the pills.
Laura, we've been over that.
You just have to.
Well, I won't, and I'm not going to.
- Birgitte, what's up?
- Laura refuses to take her pills.
Okay.
We need to talk to her about it
and make sure she takes them.
Yes, but I have to go away,
and I asked my dad to come and stay -
- but I don't want him to deal with it.
Can you take the kids?
Sure. Only we have builders all
over the place, and I don't know...
You could stay here.
Sure. Let's do that.
Great.
North Kharun produces
480,000 barrels of crude oil a day.
That says something
about the importance of this area...
I just spoke to Vedfeld,
and we've had a little breakthrough.
Your entry
into the negotiations paid off.
President Al-Jahwar has agreed
to meet you in the capital Sahore.
- Great, Birgitte.
- This doesn't guarantee anything.
No, but we've got our foot in the door.
- We'd better get cracking then.
- I've got shirts to iron.
Bent... You've been
a tremendous help to me, but...
- Oh, I'm not going to Africa?
- You almost died recently.
Stop right there.
I refuse to be sent packing now.
The PM's Office can't take on
the liability of letting you go...
Don't let that paper pusher
prevent me from going to Africa.
No way. I promise to bring my doctor's
statement, my walker and respirator.
I'm going to Africa, for crying out loud.
You can't do this to me.
- Thank you. Bye.
- Well?
A Swedish oil company was charged
with breaking international law -
- due to the methods they employed
in finding new areas in Kharun.
If Niels Mikkelsen operates in Kharun,
he must know something about it.
You'd think so.
Word is the Freedom Party is going
to turn their rhetoric up a notch.
Saltum says Nyborg is out to turn
Denmark into a multicultural society.
Interesting.
Katrine is on at 6. What do you think
the PM has to say about that?
Do we expect Nyborg to come running
every time Saltum challenges her?
Who knows? It's worth a try.
Call Kasper Juul.
Sorry to keep you waiting,
but here's our itinerary.
Reporters are referred to me directly,
if they call the PM's Office.
We'll play the game. No problem.
You're only gone for three days.
What are you going to say,
if they lean on you?
The PM is in France.
Keep a lid on it until both parties are
on their way to Denmark to negotiate.
- Good luck.
- Thanks. We'll need it.
- So, what did Nyborg say?
- No comment.
Did you lean on her? Get her
to comment on Kharun as well.
- And slip in Crohne's name too.
- Hanne, it's not going to happen.
Nyborg is in France
to meet with their premier.
Kasper and I ought to refrain from that
kind of pillow talk, but you know...
How on earth is she going
to meet with the French premier?
Last night I saw
he's on a state visit to Hungary.
Strange.
North Kharun will say it's a conflict
between Muslims and Christians.
They'll do their utmost
to come off as true believers.
And therefore I doubt Al-Jahwar will
shake a woman's hand.
Place your right hand on your heart.
That's a fine and proper greeting.
That way we won't
focus on differences.
Amir.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Home already?
- The PM's away, so I left early.
I was told to get hold of her today,
but I said she said "no comment".
Please let me do my job.
Just call -
- and I'll make up some excuses.
Wine?
Yes, please.
Nyborg is meeting with
the French premier in Paris, right?
I believe so.
You're not sure?
Hey, they don't tell me everything.
So, no.
- Hungry?
- Yes.
I'll run down and get some Thai.
Hello, Vedfeld.
Hello.
Welcome to Africa. After you.
We booked you suites and negotiating
rooms at the Freedom Palace Hotel -
- owned by the government.
Be warned that all rooms are bugged.
- Is the president coming?
- We're working on it.
- But he's an odd one. Distrustful.
- Anything I need to be aware of?
Yes. Al-Jahwar is
a Cambridge graduate.
He speaks fluent English,
but will probably speak Arabic.
To make a political statement?
Exactly. No Western woman is
going to teach him anything.
You're on his turf, ma'am.
The major oil fields at the heart of
the conflict are Karni and Friendship.
In the border area, right?
The Sarifan Province.
Al-Jahwar maintains that
the election in the South was rigged.
Election observers approved it.
95% of the population voted in favour.
Downplay the fact that the president
is wanted by the Hague Tribunal.
Yes?
I just said it was a disgraceful way
to treat a Muslim brother.
And?
That Crohne Industries would like
to give their head of state a gift.
An expensive one.
I wish to return
the prime minister's gratitude.
I'm sorry to inform you -
- that your trip to Kharun
is pointless.
Our troops have all but
defeated the South -
- so I don't see any reason for us
to make concessions.
One down.
Expensive promises. Aid is one thing,
oil is something else.
- Can we sell it to the South?
- Let's just get the North to come.
- Hopefully the South will follow.
- The plane leaves in 50 minutes.
Bent, I'm going to lay low. My Arabic
dialect makes me seem pro-North.
See you in the lobby.
We have no connections there, but
Niels Mikkelsen wants to meet again.
Niels Mikkelsen is amazingly
resourceful, isn't he?
I can prove that the PM and Crohne
are meeting about Kharun.
You're a darling.
You just got us our story.
- Birgitte Nyborg is in Kharun.
- The PM is in Africa?
- I thought she went to France.
- Kasper lied. Look.
- Where did you get this?
- From his briefcase.
We can't use it, but Torben will have
to admit it's a good story.
You bet we can't use it.
Aren't you dating?
Yes, and we're on opposite sides
of the fence. He lied to me.
He didn't lie. The spin doctor
threw the reporter off the track.
It's his job.
Well, it's my job to make
the public aware of the facts.
You only got hold of those documents
because you're Kasper's girlfriend.
You're in for it, if you use them.
Torben will question
your relationship to Kasper.
The PM's Office will be informed.
Your private life is your own matter -
- but don't tell the guy you go through
his stuff. If you want to keep him.
- You're such a fucking genius.
- Indeed I am.
Jakob Lokoya is chief
of the Tienga clan.
He's a warrior, first and foremost.
Not a sophisticated man.
You'd be wise to acknowledge
his skill on the battlefield.
I'll do my best.
Be aware of his harsh stance
on homosexuality. It's common here.
Should he touch on the subject,
you'd best ignore it.
I'm afraid we have a flat tire.
But they're working on it.
Sure, I will. Bye.
- Everything fine back home?
- Yes. We've got the EU behind us.
And the UN is happy to have us
doing their job for them.
We're a long way
from home, Bent.
We sure are.
Who's taking care of the kids
while you're away?
Philip. And our nanny, Anne.
The kids love her.
- How are Laura and Magnus?
- Fine.
Have you got any pictures?
I haven't seen them in ages.
- I like this one.
- Aw! My, they've grown.
- Laura looks all grown-up.
- Yeah...
Anything wrong?
Laura has been suffering
from anxiety attacks.
It's pretty serious
and has been for a few months.
- I'm sorry to hear that.
- She's seeing a psychiatrist.
He put her on happy pills,
so she's slowly getting better.
And how about you?
I can't...
It's difficult.
I can't help her, you know?
If there's anything I can do,
just say the word.
I haven't really told anyone else.
It's strange to... keep it all inside.
- We're ready to roll.
- Good.
We've received more photos
of the massacres long before the war.
I thought Torben didn't want
to run that angle right now.
Look, put them aside for now, unless
they're particularly interesting.
I don't think so.
No familiar faces in the photos.
Okay. Just forget them.
See you.
- Who was that?
- Dan.
If you still want that interview, call
tomorrow. She's due to arrive then.
- From France?
- Yes.
- Let me just take this out.
- No, she's not.
- She's arriving tomorrow, but...
- But what?
She went to Kharun. She's been there
the past couple of days.
I haven't been able to tell you,
but now it looks like -
- peace talks
will be held in Copenhagen.
- Wow! Congratulations.
- Thanks.
I missed you.
Want me to take out the trash?
No, I have some more
to put in the bag.
- Wine?
- Yes, please.
- That went okay, Bent.
- Sure. It went really well.
- You're good, Birgitte.
- Thanks.
But I think we sold the same piece of
land at too high a price to both men.
They're coming to Copenhagen, Bent.
To talk. That's what's important.
Yes. That's what's important.
Jesus Christ!
Dad? It's 7:30.
7:30? Thanks, sweetie.
Good morning, buddy.
- I can't sleep on that couch.
- Why don't you take the bed?
Well, it's Mum's bed.
- I'll be home around 4:30.
- Okay.
- Did you take your pill?
- No, but I'll take it later.
No, you'll take it now, Laura.
Eat your breakfast, Magnus.
Laura, take the pill.
- Checking up on me?
- Just take the pill, Laura.
- Happy?
- Sure, sweetie.
It's important that you get well,
that's all.
Sure. Okay.
Get dressed, okay, Magnus?
TO BE CONTINUED
@ http://thepiratebay.sx/user/Zen_Bud
you should put her on medication.
We don't condone
giving kids happy pills!
During your time in office,
she's been a proper little adult.
This has made Laura anxious.
Pills are your best option.
Who's Stine?
You fuck her twice a week.
Katrine, I love you.
If you love someone,
you share your secrets with them.
Bent, I'm so terribly sorry
about all this.
- Amir is a media darling.
- Let's put a little pressure on him.
This isn't our policy. The Green
Party is resigning from government.
- I've lost my bearings.
- We couldn't know this was coming.
"Danes are doubters because
Denmark's history is the story -
- of the downfall of a strong tribe."
- Johannes V. Jensen
He's in the Hall of Mirrors with coffee
and his favourite cookies.
- I'll just be a moment.
- You don't keep Crohne waiting.
He'll have to get used to being
treated just like the next guy.
And don't go overboard with special
cookies just because it's Crohne.
That's the third jacket
you're trying on, isn't it?
I'm here because of Africa,
but let me begin with something else.
For the past 10 years Denmark has
joined forces with the US in wars.
Our immigration laws have done away
with our image as a tolerant nation.
Thanks to your good friend Hesselboe.
Our poor reputation in the Muslim
world has cost Denmark a fortune.
Maybe DKK 1.5 billion a year.
But now is our opportunity
to set that right -
- by taking a closer look
at one of Africa's forgotten wars.
- Which one?
- Kharun.
- You're aware of the situation?
- Of course.
Civil war. The Christian south
wants independence.
The Muslim north is opposed.
The EU has tried to find a mediator
among the union's heads of state.
Africa is complicated. It's too much
of a political risk to take on the job.
- You aren't up for it either, ma'am?
- What is your engagement in Kharun?
In cool cash.
A DKK 5 billion entrepreneurship deal
to build oil refineries.
The interests of Denmark's largest
corporation can't dictate my policy.
That wouldn't be the case.
You'd be doing it for Africa.
It won't appear so.
So I'm afraid I have to let you down.
My first impression of you
was that of a visionary woman.
- What changed?
- Nothing.
I just prefer my visions to be my own.
Continued fierce fighting yesterday
in the oil province of Sarifan -
- around the town of Orisia
in Kharun.
Up to 250,000 people
have fled the area.
Foreign Minister
Hans Christian Thorsen -
- any positive outcome of last
night's Security Council meeting?
- I'm afraid not.
- They did not reach an agreement?
Yes, they agreed to urge
the African Union -
- to solve the conflict
as soon as possible.
But has the African Union ever
stopped an armed conflict?
- Not to my knowledge.
- Thank you. More on this later.
A friend at Berlingske Daily
sent me this.
The Freedom Party's new campaign.
THANKS TO THE PM FOR INVITING
LOTS OF NEW GUESTS
You're welcome, Svend Ǻge.
Episode 17
What Is Lost Inwardly
Must Be Won Outwardly - Part One
- They don't mince words.
- They already began campaigning.
- But election is a year away.
- At the most, yes.
The opposition knows Nyborg is
in a tight spot.
Let me interview the PM
in the News at 8:30.
Let's think even bigger.
Saltum, Hesselboe in one corner.
- Nyborg and Thorsen in the other.
- Know what? That's a great idea.
Let's do it in our new debate format.
What's it called again?
- "Dilemma".
- Yes. Gotta love a live audience.
- Katrine, you do it.
- You bet.
But only permanent presenters
host "Dilemma". Sorry, Katrine.
- It's all about network branding.
- Listen to him go. You take the 8:30.
Simon takes the 6, Ida's on leave.
It's bloody good branding not to go
black screen on our viewers.
Get it? Good. The three of us need to
discuss brief and international news.
Right.
- Kalle. What are you doing here?
- I freelance now.
Meaning you monitor the police radio,
while everyone else sleeps.
That too. I took some pictures
of Joachim Crohne's limousine.
- See where's it heading?
- Parliament.
Not a frequent guest there. The PM
isn't in cahoots with big business.
Think you guys can use it, or do only
nerds like you find it interesting?
Let me see if I can get
Torben interested. See you.
Roast chicken is fine. Anne, please
get Magnus to eat his vegetables.
And have Laura take her pill
before she leaves, okay? Thanks. Bye.
- The Freedom Party ad?
- Yes. It's in almost all the papers.
Svend Ǻge got full value
for his marketing money.
Everyone wants us to comment on it.
TV1 called three times.
They want you in "Dilemma" tonight
with Svend Ǻge. I said no.
Blimey, we need a victory soon.
Why shouldn't we comment
on the Freedom Party's views?
It'll just confirm their criticism.
- We will get a lot of Kharun refugees.
- We've relaxed the immigration law.
But isn't this the time to emphasise
that ours is a different policy?
We must stand by the laws
we've carried through.
- So you want to go on air tonight?
- Indeed I do.
Hi, sweetie.
We've discussed Laura's condition,
and things are looking up.
- I think so, too.
- Great.
You look great with your new hair.
But you have trouble sleeping?
- I can't fall asleep.
- Even though you're exhausted.
A side effect can be lack of sleep.
If she takes the pills in the daytime,
she'll find it easier to fall asleep.
- How long should I stay on them?
- Depends on how it goes.
- Could you give us an estimate?
- A couple of months.
It's important
to keep taking the pills.
If you stop, you may experience
a serious relapse.
Learning to live with your anxiety
is a long, hard pull.
She'll get well.
No doubt about that.
Welcome, Katrine. We're going
to have a meeting. Right in here.
Okay, I'm the host. Nyborg knows
"Dilemma" has a live audience? Good.
Saltum and Hesselboe are on board.
We're still waiting for Thorsen...
He'll be there. We're only discussing
the Freedom Party's ad and Kharun.
- Oh, come on.
- No. And no election talk.
- We don't want to just yet.
- Wuss.
Okay, fine. I'm surprised
you agreed to go on at all.
Is it because I did the asking?
I tried to talk Birgitte
into declining.
Don't expect special treatment
just because we're dating.
No, Kasper. And that's mutual,
by the way.
- So, any comments on these?
- Dirty pictures of you?
It seems Joachim Crohne was here
for a meeting on the 3rd.
But when I check the PM's calendar,
there's no mention of it.
- I guess there was no meeting.
- But there are pictures of it.
We're on the 2nd floor. The Queen
disposes over the 1 st floor.
She plays bridge once a week
with Crohne.
The Queen uses her state apartment
for card games?
Ask the Queen.
Let's get back to the debate, shall we?
- True, the UN has some problems.
- I have to cut you off here.
Will the war in Kharun bring
more refugees to Denmark?
You can't look at it that way,
Svend Ǻge.
But won't the PM's
relaxed immigration laws lead to -
- more refugees
seeking asylum in Denmark?
Yes, Denmark will get more refugees,
when there's war in the world.
The government believes our nation
is obligated to help those in need.
Still, Nyborg, Denmark is struggling
with the financial crisis and debt.
- Can we afford to be idealistic?
- We can't afford not to.
We're the 12th richest country in
the world. These are people in need.
Lord almighty!
Why must it be on Danish territory?
Can't you just help them
in their own countries?
What do these people in their flowing
robes want in the Danish suburbs?
I'll tell you. Their country is at war.
Their home is in flames.
That's why we reach out to them.
Don't you feel obligated to do so?
It's wildly naive to think
little Denmark can make a difference.
Let me quote
our wise old poet Grundtvig:
"Our lot is not that
of grandeur and gale.
Let us stay close to the ground
whence we hail."
And so Grundtvig got the last word
in tonight's "Dilemma".
I'm sure the last word hasn't been said
in this debate. Thank you for coming.
Many villages have been destroyed.
The Security Council convened and
watched an interview with a girl -
- who had been gang-raped
by one of the many militias.
North Kharun's UN ambassador
rejects this as pure propaganda.
The five permanent members of
the Security Council did not agree -
- on adopting a resolution giving
the UN the mandate to intervene.
Nor were any
actual sanctions imposed.
The sole outcome was
a declaration of principle -
- urging both parties
to stop the fighting.
I need to talk to you here.
I know it's late.
- Coffee?
- No, thanks.
What is so important
it couldn't wait until the morning?
Say I told you I think we should
try to stop the war in Kharun?
Then I'd say "great".
- You're serious?
- I'm considering it.
The EU is urging a head of state
to mediate.
- No one has volunteered.
- Because it's a lost cause. Okay?
In my first speech I said I thought
Danes were better than they thought.
No, this is all about you.
You're pissed off because you can't
force anything through Parliament.
But it's 3 a.m., and we have
a long day ahead of us tomorrow.
Kasper, sit down.
Listen to me.
We have a unique opportunity.
We chair the Security Council
at the moment.
- The EU and the African Union...
- It's a mad venture.
The Norwegians tried to broker peace
between Israel and Palestine.
And they're still killing each other.
The Oslo Accords brought
Rabin and Arafat together.
They almost succeeded.
You've made up your mind,
haven't you?
Yes, I have now.
Hello, Sejrø.
Welcome back.
- Thank you, Niels-Erik.
- I think Birgitte is waiting for you.
- Bent. I'm so happy to see you.
- Likewise.
- Good to see you. How are you?
- Fine, as long as I take my pills.
You're looking good, cane and all.
You're doing fine.
Kharun?
Birgitte, you're insane.
Didn't you try to stop her?
- What do you think?
- A change is sorely needed.
Our foreign policy has been
passive for ages.
The PM's Office is high-ceilinged -
- to allow room for great thoughts to
be thought. And they sure are now.
So now what, Bent?
If this is to have the slightest
chance, one thing is crucial.
The North Kharun regime
is islamistic -
- and the conflict is already dubbed
a Muslim-Christian conflict.
You can't barge in,
a modern pro-American woman -
- and just drag North Kharun
to the negotiating table.
- A Muslim negotiator?
- Yes.
I know who,
but it won't be a walk in the park.
- Promise?
- Yes.
Hi.
- Hi, Sarah.
- Go inside, sweetie.
- She's grown.
- Yes.
Amir, I was sorry to see
you leave Parliament.
And about the way it happened, and
my part in it. You're smoking now?
Not officially.
You're aware
of the situation in Kharun?
Yes, a war is raging,
and the UN is paralysed as usual.
I'm contemplating becoming
an EU mediator.
North Kharun is Muslim,
so I'd like a Muslim negotiator.
Sounds like a doomed project.
I know you have the polls against you,
but isn't this a bit desperate?
A major African country faces
a catastrophe that could be averted.
You're just out to boost your image.
And I'm the nice Muslim and political
lever in your prestige project.
No.
This isn't about prestige.
I'm asking you to go with me
into a burning house.
Sorry.
It's not my burning house.
Good luck.
Honey?
Good to see you, Bent. Meet my
permanent secretary, Frederik Vedfeld.
Welcome.
Goodbye, Monsieur.
Okay, what are our chances of forcing
the parties to the negotiating table?
The British are choosing
to follow the American line on this.
- That line being?
- They won't pressure South Kharun.
The US "supports
fledgling democracies".
- With arms.
- Any other bad news?
France won't pressure North Kharun.
Nor will China. Their ambassador
made that very clear.
They are a population
of almost 1.3 billion -
- with increasing energy demands.
They buy oil in Kharun
and pay in arms.
So we're on our own in this attempt
to force them to negotiate.
But we've assembled a great team.
I spoke to Amir,
and he doesn't want in either.
Well, we won't get any further today,
so let's meet again tomorrow.
- Yes. Good to see you.
- Likewise.
This village was destroyed
long before the war broke out.
We all know Africa is suffering.
But it's yesterday's news, isn't it?
We want people who are alive,
vivid pictures and preferably Danes.
I won't settle for a phone interview
with a British anthropologist.
- Our news must be alive. Okay?
- Sure.
Well, get a move on, for fuck's sake.
- Aren't you going home, Bent?
- After you dragged me back in?
It's impossible.
No one is interested in peace.
That comes as a surprise to you?
You have one year left in that chair.
- Don't you want to do more?
- Sure. It sounds nice and easy.
Easy?
You want to make peace in Africa.
It's going to be the hardest thing
you ever set out to do.
You have something not many
people have. You've got power.
Everyone asks themselves
what they'd do if they had the power.
Sure. I'm the PM
for a population of five million.
You're head of state. Part of a club
with just 192 members world-wide.
If you call, they pick up.
So, what do you want to do?
- I want to stop that war, Bent.
- Fine.
- What are my chances?
- I'd put my money on the war.
You need an ally.
Someone charismatic -
- who will support you in the media.
Particularly the ones who hate you.
I'll try to broker peace in Kharun.
- Interesting.
- We may not succeed.
- I'm going out on a limb here.
- Why are you telling me this?
You want me to admire
your personal courage?
No, I want you to support me
in relation to the media -
- and your friends in the opposition.
What did you have in mind?
If I fail, you're going to go public
with your support for me the day after.
Not on page 8, but on the cover
of the right-wing papers.
Please remind your friend Hesselboe
to commend the PM on her initiative.
That's more like it, Mrs. Nyborg.
You're quite the businesswoman.
Thanks.
Well?
I'm trying to find
a Danish expert on Kharun.
No one referred me to a state official,
but to a businessman.
- Okay. Who?
- Niels Mikkelsen.
He works for Crohne Industries, and
Kalle gave me these the other day.
Crohne's limo arrives
at Parliament for a meeting -
- that doesn't exist in any calendar.
Coincidence?
Crohne meets in secret with the PM
after war breaks out in Kharun -
- in which he has invested billions.
Could be a coincidence.
- But it's our job to distrust people.
- Exactly.
Katrine Fønsmark from TV1 News.
Could I speak to Niels Mikkelsen?
Why didn't you want
to meet at Crohne?
Because I don't work
for Crohne Industries.
I'm a close business associate
of Crohne's, but I'm independent.
Do Crohne Industries want to conceal
their real business in Kharun?
Investing in the third world
is a high-risk venture. Many fail.
That's why Crohne Industries let
someone else make the overtures.
Seeing as Crohne Industries' presence
in Kharun is so significant -
- I guess Crohne has an economic
interest in securing peace.
That's a fair assumption.
Can you confirm
that Crohne is meeting with the PM?
You really have to ask Crohne
or the PM about that.
Government troops are allegedly
behind massacres in Kharun -
- to clear areas for oil companies.
Do you know anything about that?
No.
But it sounds terribly unpleasant.
Still, Africa is the land of many
rumours. It's easy to get confused.
- I'm sorry, but I have a meeting now.
- Thank you for your time.
Thank you, Monsieur Betancourt.
Talk to you later. Bye.
We've been through
all relevant Muslims.
None of them have
the charisma and clout we need.
We'll just have to make do
with an interpreter. Good morning.
We have Betancourt
and the rest of the EU behind us.
Kenya would like to play a part.
Their resources are small, but still.
Crohne is on board.
Unofficially, of course.
His powerful connections in Kharun
are going to pull some strings.
Time is essential.
The UN got these pictures from the US.
- More burnt-down villages?
- No. Troop concentrations.
- As could be expected.
- This is far from the front.
They're from the Nubisia region
in the North.
There's been ethnic tension between
them and the North Kharun regime.
This may end in ethnic cleansing.
Under the guise of war
many things can happen.
What time frame are we looking at?
- A ceasefire in four to six months.
- But how will the situation be then?
- Yes?
- Amir Diwan is here.
- It's a bad time?
- No.
So this is where
you make peace in Africa.
I want to help.
But don't think I'm doing it for you.
This is too important -
- for me to let my personal issues
with you get in the way.
- If you need my help...
- We do.
We've got an addition to the team.
I couldn't think of a better
Arab-speaking negotiator.
The diplomatic process may take
up to six months.
- Six months?
- Yes.
Well, we can be sure
they've killed each other off by then.
There is another way
of speeding up the process.
What if I, personally, conduct
the preliminary negotiations?
You want to go to Africa?
That's a gamble.
In my experience that will lend
respect to the entire peace project.
- Vedfeld?
- It'll demand a coordinated effort.
Isn't that what we're here for?
It's crucial to keep this under wraps.
We need to make the media believe -
- it's business as usual here.
We'd best get ready to leave
as soon as possible.
- Sorry, I'm a little late.
- No problem.
There's some leftover chicken
for you in the fridge.
- Is Laura okay?
- Yes. She's mostly been in her room.
- But we had dinner together.
- See you tomorrow.
Laura!
Laura, I'm home.
Come down, will you?
Hi, sweetie. Had a good day?
- Mum, I'm watching this.
- You need to turn it off, sweetie.
An important issue at work means -
- I have to go away
for a couple of days soon.
You're never home. We always have
to eat Anne's stupid chicken.
I know, but this is
a very important matter.
- Granddad has agreed to come.
- Granddad?
Fine.
- Okay?
- Sure.
Let me taste Anne's stupid chicken.
What's up, Laura?
I don't want to keep taking the pills.
Laura, we've been over that.
You just have to.
Well, I won't, and I'm not going to.
- Birgitte, what's up?
- Laura refuses to take her pills.
Okay.
We need to talk to her about it
and make sure she takes them.
Yes, but I have to go away,
and I asked my dad to come and stay -
- but I don't want him to deal with it.
Can you take the kids?
Sure. Only we have builders all
over the place, and I don't know...
You could stay here.
Sure. Let's do that.
Great.
North Kharun produces
480,000 barrels of crude oil a day.
That says something
about the importance of this area...
I just spoke to Vedfeld,
and we've had a little breakthrough.
Your entry
into the negotiations paid off.
President Al-Jahwar has agreed
to meet you in the capital Sahore.
- Great, Birgitte.
- This doesn't guarantee anything.
No, but we've got our foot in the door.
- We'd better get cracking then.
- I've got shirts to iron.
Bent... You've been
a tremendous help to me, but...
- Oh, I'm not going to Africa?
- You almost died recently.
Stop right there.
I refuse to be sent packing now.
The PM's Office can't take on
the liability of letting you go...
Don't let that paper pusher
prevent me from going to Africa.
No way. I promise to bring my doctor's
statement, my walker and respirator.
I'm going to Africa, for crying out loud.
You can't do this to me.
- Thank you. Bye.
- Well?
A Swedish oil company was charged
with breaking international law -
- due to the methods they employed
in finding new areas in Kharun.
If Niels Mikkelsen operates in Kharun,
he must know something about it.
You'd think so.
Word is the Freedom Party is going
to turn their rhetoric up a notch.
Saltum says Nyborg is out to turn
Denmark into a multicultural society.
Interesting.
Katrine is on at 6. What do you think
the PM has to say about that?
Do we expect Nyborg to come running
every time Saltum challenges her?
Who knows? It's worth a try.
Call Kasper Juul.
Sorry to keep you waiting,
but here's our itinerary.
Reporters are referred to me directly,
if they call the PM's Office.
We'll play the game. No problem.
You're only gone for three days.
What are you going to say,
if they lean on you?
The PM is in France.
Keep a lid on it until both parties are
on their way to Denmark to negotiate.
- Good luck.
- Thanks. We'll need it.
- So, what did Nyborg say?
- No comment.
Did you lean on her? Get her
to comment on Kharun as well.
- And slip in Crohne's name too.
- Hanne, it's not going to happen.
Nyborg is in France
to meet with their premier.
Kasper and I ought to refrain from that
kind of pillow talk, but you know...
How on earth is she going
to meet with the French premier?
Last night I saw
he's on a state visit to Hungary.
Strange.
North Kharun will say it's a conflict
between Muslims and Christians.
They'll do their utmost
to come off as true believers.
And therefore I doubt Al-Jahwar will
shake a woman's hand.
Place your right hand on your heart.
That's a fine and proper greeting.
That way we won't
focus on differences.
Amir.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Home already?
- The PM's away, so I left early.
I was told to get hold of her today,
but I said she said "no comment".
Please let me do my job.
Just call -
- and I'll make up some excuses.
Wine?
Yes, please.
Nyborg is meeting with
the French premier in Paris, right?
I believe so.
You're not sure?
Hey, they don't tell me everything.
So, no.
- Hungry?
- Yes.
I'll run down and get some Thai.
Hello, Vedfeld.
Hello.
Welcome to Africa. After you.
We booked you suites and negotiating
rooms at the Freedom Palace Hotel -
- owned by the government.
Be warned that all rooms are bugged.
- Is the president coming?
- We're working on it.
- But he's an odd one. Distrustful.
- Anything I need to be aware of?
Yes. Al-Jahwar is
a Cambridge graduate.
He speaks fluent English,
but will probably speak Arabic.
To make a political statement?
Exactly. No Western woman is
going to teach him anything.
You're on his turf, ma'am.
The major oil fields at the heart of
the conflict are Karni and Friendship.
In the border area, right?
The Sarifan Province.
Al-Jahwar maintains that
the election in the South was rigged.
Election observers approved it.
95% of the population voted in favour.
Downplay the fact that the president
is wanted by the Hague Tribunal.
Yes?
I just said it was a disgraceful way
to treat a Muslim brother.
And?
That Crohne Industries would like
to give their head of state a gift.
An expensive one.
I wish to return
the prime minister's gratitude.
I'm sorry to inform you -
- that your trip to Kharun
is pointless.
Our troops have all but
defeated the South -
- so I don't see any reason for us
to make concessions.
One down.
Expensive promises. Aid is one thing,
oil is something else.
- Can we sell it to the South?
- Let's just get the North to come.
- Hopefully the South will follow.
- The plane leaves in 50 minutes.
Bent, I'm going to lay low. My Arabic
dialect makes me seem pro-North.
See you in the lobby.
We have no connections there, but
Niels Mikkelsen wants to meet again.
Niels Mikkelsen is amazingly
resourceful, isn't he?
I can prove that the PM and Crohne
are meeting about Kharun.
You're a darling.
You just got us our story.
- Birgitte Nyborg is in Kharun.
- The PM is in Africa?
- I thought she went to France.
- Kasper lied. Look.
- Where did you get this?
- From his briefcase.
We can't use it, but Torben will have
to admit it's a good story.
You bet we can't use it.
Aren't you dating?
Yes, and we're on opposite sides
of the fence. He lied to me.
He didn't lie. The spin doctor
threw the reporter off the track.
It's his job.
Well, it's my job to make
the public aware of the facts.
You only got hold of those documents
because you're Kasper's girlfriend.
You're in for it, if you use them.
Torben will question
your relationship to Kasper.
The PM's Office will be informed.
Your private life is your own matter -
- but don't tell the guy you go through
his stuff. If you want to keep him.
- You're such a fucking genius.
- Indeed I am.
Jakob Lokoya is chief
of the Tienga clan.
He's a warrior, first and foremost.
Not a sophisticated man.
You'd be wise to acknowledge
his skill on the battlefield.
I'll do my best.
Be aware of his harsh stance
on homosexuality. It's common here.
Should he touch on the subject,
you'd best ignore it.
I'm afraid we have a flat tire.
But they're working on it.
Sure, I will. Bye.
- Everything fine back home?
- Yes. We've got the EU behind us.
And the UN is happy to have us
doing their job for them.
We're a long way
from home, Bent.
We sure are.
Who's taking care of the kids
while you're away?
Philip. And our nanny, Anne.
The kids love her.
- How are Laura and Magnus?
- Fine.
Have you got any pictures?
I haven't seen them in ages.
- I like this one.
- Aw! My, they've grown.
- Laura looks all grown-up.
- Yeah...
Anything wrong?
Laura has been suffering
from anxiety attacks.
It's pretty serious
and has been for a few months.
- I'm sorry to hear that.
- She's seeing a psychiatrist.
He put her on happy pills,
so she's slowly getting better.
And how about you?
I can't...
It's difficult.
I can't help her, you know?
If there's anything I can do,
just say the word.
I haven't really told anyone else.
It's strange to... keep it all inside.
- We're ready to roll.
- Good.
We've received more photos
of the massacres long before the war.
I thought Torben didn't want
to run that angle right now.
Look, put them aside for now, unless
they're particularly interesting.
I don't think so.
No familiar faces in the photos.
Okay. Just forget them.
See you.
- Who was that?
- Dan.
If you still want that interview, call
tomorrow. She's due to arrive then.
- From France?
- Yes.
- Let me just take this out.
- No, she's not.
- She's arriving tomorrow, but...
- But what?
She went to Kharun. She's been there
the past couple of days.
I haven't been able to tell you,
but now it looks like -
- peace talks
will be held in Copenhagen.
- Wow! Congratulations.
- Thanks.
I missed you.
Want me to take out the trash?
No, I have some more
to put in the bag.
- Wine?
- Yes, please.
- That went okay, Bent.
- Sure. It went really well.
- You're good, Birgitte.
- Thanks.
But I think we sold the same piece of
land at too high a price to both men.
They're coming to Copenhagen, Bent.
To talk. That's what's important.
Yes. That's what's important.
Jesus Christ!
Dad? It's 7:30.
7:30? Thanks, sweetie.
Good morning, buddy.
- I can't sleep on that couch.
- Why don't you take the bed?
Well, it's Mum's bed.
- I'll be home around 4:30.
- Okay.
- Did you take your pill?
- No, but I'll take it later.
No, you'll take it now, Laura.
Eat your breakfast, Magnus.
Laura, take the pill.
- Checking up on me?
- Just take the pill, Laura.
- Happy?
- Sure, sweetie.
It's important that you get well,
that's all.
Sure. Okay.
Get dressed, okay, Magnus?
