Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,799
We have to go
for more than six seats.
2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,399
The Moderates are betraying
everything they once stood for.
3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:14,799
Someone has to fight for those
principles since you won't do so.
4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,359
- Torben... time to wake up.
- Don't touch me.
5
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,239
- Why don't you come home?
- I love you.
6
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,279
- Ever been on that?
- No.
7
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,839
It sails right past your work.
8
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,719
This is getting to be a habit.
9
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,239
Emma, my daughter.
10
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,319
Would you join a government?
11
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,039
It is quite possible.
12
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:47,359
- Where is the set?
- I binned it, Alex.
13
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:48,759
I didn't like it.
14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:55,759
- It's irresponsible...
- Voters don't know what they'll get.
15
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,960
Hi Torben, Please report to me
at 9am tomorrow. Regards, Alex.
16
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,759
"Nearly all men
can stand adversity,
17
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,879
but if you want to test a man's character,
give him power."
18
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:29,719
Election day. The polling stations
are being prepared across Denmark.
19
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:37,399
4 million Danes have the vote.
How many will exercise that right?
20
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:44,079
Thousands of officials are
preparing to open the doors.
21
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,239
Ls Denmark going to
get a new government?
22
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,279
- Aren't you having anything?
- Of course.
23
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,439
I'm a bit on edge.
It's election day.
24
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,559
And I am putting yogurt in my tea.
I am bonkers today. Ignore it.
25
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,519
The latest polls
26
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:11,719
give the New Democrats 12 seats,
the Moderates, 7.
27
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,039
You wiped the floor with Kruse yesterday.
Surely...
28
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:30,319
- You'll back Thorsen, right?
- We need seats to have influence.
29
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,239
Are you coming to
the polling station?
30
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:40,039
- Is Jeremy coming?
- It's a bit too official for that.
31
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,999
Mum, your ear ring.
32
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,479
Thanks.
33
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,439
- Breast surgery department.
- This is Birgitte Nyborg.
34
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:04,879
I phoned earlier about
a new lump in my breast.
35
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,159
Mogens Winther is still in surgery.
I'll ask him to call you.
36
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,679
Episode 30 - Election
37
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,879
Kasper Juul,
38
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,359
we all saw Jacob Kruse's
unfortunate outburst last night.
39
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,359
Why isn't it reflected
in the polls?
40
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,599
The polls we are reading now were
conducted before the panel debate.
41
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:12,039
But Kruse's outburst is
in all the papers this morning.
42
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,039
We can't do any more now.
43
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,719
You can have a good breakfast
for once.
44
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,879
- Soft-boiled?
- Hard-boiled.
45
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:24,839
OK?
46
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,119
My daughter came home
last night.
47
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:34,959
Have you seen my...
48
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,679
She knows about you.
49
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,479
Take a deep breath and come out
and have some breakfast.
50
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:16,719
Red or blue?
It's probably Thorsen's last stand.
51
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:22,759
TV1 will be following
the election live from Borgen.
52
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,359
Torben, you have
not been cooperating.
53
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,839
And last night you countermanded
a direct order.
54
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,079
Alex Hjorth recommends that we
terminate your contract forthwith.
55
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,999
You will be paid a year's salary
in return for non-disclosure.
56
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,079
Do you hear me?
57
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,999
Please clear your desk immediately
and leave your computer behind.
58
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,599
(Danish Journalism Prize)
59
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:43,159
Torben, didn't you tell TV2 "no" to having
their man in the control room?
60
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,079
I've been sacked.
61
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:50,959
You what?
62
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,759
I'll get back to you.
63
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,799
Listen, please,
I have an important announcement.
64
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:08,799
Unfortunately, Torben Friis has been
dismissed without notice.
65
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,239
- It is election day.
- Yes. I know it's bad timing.
66
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:18,999
Torben left us no choice.
But luckily you're professionals...
67
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,439
- What are your hopes?
- For a high turn-out.
68
00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:06,199
And a good result
for the New Democrats.
69
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,479
- Do you want her back as an MP?
- If I were 18, I'd vote for her.
70
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,759
You can't be serious.
No! You can't campaign there!
71
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,479
Not right next to the polling station!
72
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,159
- The youth chairman.
- We don't want a scandal today!
73
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,879
Were these party
gob stoppers your idea?
74
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,079
They taste surprisingly nice.
75
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,039
An old man handing them out
to innocent children in the square?!
76
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,959
Give me a break! Jon refused to hand
them out because they're not organic.
77
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:51,199
- We need to move 150,000 votes.
- I need to stay out of gaol.
78
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,279
We'll cross that bridge
when we come to it.
79
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:57,999
Hold it, please.
80
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:06,719
Hi, Nadja, Jon has just been on
breakfast TV and now he's on R1.
81
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,199
Yes?
82
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,439
I'll tell her. Thanks. Bye.
83
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,319
I had to go home for
a change of clothing.
84
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,279
That was not OK.
85
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:31,199
I am too old to have to explain it
to my kids.
86
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,919
Is the problem me having
grown-up kids?
87
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,519
Being 20 years older than you?
88
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:45,959
Maybe.
89
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,039
You realise we are being
totally post-modern about it?
90
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,399
- I am a country girl.
- Oh, that explains it.
91
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,519
Søren, it's not that I... don't think...
92
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,279
I am tremendously fond of you.
93
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,399
But it's election time
and everything is crazy.
94
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,199
It's been more than that.
95
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,919
Hasn't it?
96
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,319
I'm sorry.
97
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,079
OK... we've had the conversation.
98
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,839
No need to avoid me.
99
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,239
- Keep it pithy. Sound bites...
- About the party leader panel...
100
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,679
TV2 want their man
in the OB unit.
101
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:53,159
We always produce the panel
when the results are in.
102
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,319
But now TV2 want their man in.
We'll have two voices in our ears.
103
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,719
It's absurd.
104
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,439
- Didn't Torben say no?
- He tried.
105
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:04,559
You'll have me and Pia in your ear.
We'll back you up.
106
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,199
You are not a journalist.
107
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,039
No, but I do know about TV.
That is why I am here.
108
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,399
And it'll be mainly Pia's show.
109
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,839
- So no worries.
- You'll let TV2 in?
110
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,479
It's great idea.
111
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,119
It'll give us the chance
to end earlier than TV2.
112
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,439
You cannot be serious.
113
00:12:29,560 --> 00:12:32,399
- I am quite serious.
- Not for fucking real.
114
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:33,999
Leave it out.
115
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,919
- End before the panel is over?
- You wouldn't understand.
116
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,119
- I know my job.
- Oh, do you?
117
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,679
All the statistics show
118
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,839
that people watch the party leaders
for first 15 minutes.
119
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,959
Then they quit.
120
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,999
If TV1 signs off while
there are still lots of viewers,
121
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,279
we'll win the election in terms
of the number of viewers.
122
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,679
Shall I say it again?
123
00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:07,439
That's it for now.
Hello? No, it's just a staff issue.
124
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,679
- I can't direct with Alex there.
- I can't have two voices in my ear.
125
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:18,119
We can't let a non-journalist decide
when to end the programme.
126
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,319
Nice to know your flirt is over.
127
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,319
I played squash with him.
That's all.
128
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,359
- Something's got to be done.
- Who can do anything now?
129
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,599
We can.
130
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,999
Excuse us. Hi, Anders.
This won't take a minute.
131
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,759
We simply do not see how you can sack
Torben Friis on election day.
132
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:08,039
We don't dispute your right
to dismiss him, but the timing.
133
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,679
But to remove the captain and
ignore who is in the control room!
134
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,519
If Alex Hjorth is to take the helm,
135
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,639
a man with absolutely
no experience of the job
136
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,799
we will not be held responsible.
137
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,759
It will be without us.
138
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,759
Have you voted?
I hope you'll make the time.
139
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,159
Hi! Will you give me
your autograph?
140
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,559
- What if I don't vote for you?
- What matters is that you vote.
141
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,599
- Why?
- Just a moment.
142
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,039
I've got to answer this.
Don't move!
143
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,479
- It's Dr Winther.
- You've got to see me today.
144
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:06,159
- I can fit you in at 1 o'clock.
- Thank you.
145
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:23,399
Stop the car!
146
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,759
There. Yes.
147
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,759
No, that's not a lump.
148
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,879
- But I can feel it!
- No.
149
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,799
It's just lymphatic fluid
around the surgical scar
150
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,039
in connection
with radiation therapy.
151
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,079
- Mogens, it's a lump!
- No, Birgitte, it's fluid.
152
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,439
But I can feel it!!
153
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:47,919
What are you doing?
154
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,479
Removing what
you think is a lump...
155
00:17:55,360 --> 00:17:56,719
Right.
156
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:08,999
Have a feel.
157
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,879
- It's gone.
- Yes. Your treatment is over.
158
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,959
You've had a shock. It's election day.
Your nerves are jangling.
159
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,479
Try to take things completely easy,
just for the next couple of hours.
160
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,039
And remember to breathe!
161
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,719
That's right.
162
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,799
Right down into your tummy.
163
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,639
Treat yourself.
164
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,279
Spend time with someone you love.
165
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:16,919
Thank you.
166
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,279
I have never been in love with Pia.
I haven't.
167
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,999
I was attracted by her, yes.
But...
168
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,999
She just thought I was fantastic.
169
00:20:06,120 --> 00:20:09,239
I always thought you were fantastic.
But you were never there.
170
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,039
No. I wasn't.
171
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:18,119
I admit that I'm the one
who's screwed everything up.
172
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,199
I am sorry.
173
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:24,759
But I miss you.
174
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,239
All I want is to be
with you and the kids.
175
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,959
I know I don't in any way
deserve it.
176
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,839
I just want my wife back again.
177
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,479
- Go on, answer it.
- Let's just go home.
178
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,839
Yes?
179
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,319
Really?
180
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,319
Yes? Bye.
181
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,279
That was TV1's chief executive.
182
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,399
"Ulrik and Hanne will quit
if you don't come do election night".
183
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:35,559
There is always something more
important than us two, Torben.
184
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,479
I think we should just go home.
185
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,559
I need you.
186
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:03,119
Run along! It's election day!
187
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,359
Hi... Hi, kids, great to see you.
188
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,119
Hi, mummy dear...
189
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,719
Ghastly kids!
190
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,279
- We've blown up at least a thousand.
- Jolly well done!
191
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,719
And the day's first exit poll...
192
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:37,039
The Liberals are stable but
Labour have fallen back slightly.
193
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:42,639
The New Democrats have made slight
gains and may win 8 or 9 seats.
194
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,799
But the Moderates
are stable on 10 or 11 seats.
195
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,959
But this may change.
Voters are floating more than ever...
196
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,639
300,000 Danes may switch
allegiances during the day.
197
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,959
Torben! Old boy!
198
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,879
We were just beginning to realise
how much we need you.
199
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:12,119
- I know we can be annoying.
- Yes.
200
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:17,279
But right now let's make good TV.
A quick briefing. Pia? Where are we?
201
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,759
We're still getting aggro from TV2.
202
00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:24,279
Here he is again.
203
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,799
Torben Friis speaking. I'll be brief.
You and I have a clear agreement.
204
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,799
One man alone will be calling
the shots tonight, and his name...
205
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,799
Yes, exactly.
See you.
206
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:44,599
Shall we?
207
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:49,839
I am about to vote.
I'm going to vote for Jon.
208
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,639
Katrine, you mustn't tell me that!
209
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,239
Turn off your phone and vote.
210
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,159
And now we fold it...
211
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,599
- Shall I help?
- Yes.
212
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:24,839
There...
213
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,719
Jacob Kruse's outburst
214
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:33,039
and criticism of the
Moderates' economic policy
215
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,879
seems to be swaying
core Moderate votes
216
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,719
according to the latest exit polls.
217
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,959
This afternoon the distribution
of seats has started shifting.
218
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:50,079
The Liberals still lead
but Solidarity are gaining,
219
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,679
while the New Democrats
are making headway
220
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,879
and the Moderates
are losing ground.
221
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,039
I hope you made it to
the polling station in time.
222
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:05,039
- The polling stations have closed.
- Off we go, kids.
223
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:19,599
The first results will be ready
in a couple of minutes.
224
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,119
- Hi!
- How are we doing?
225
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,879
Quite a long way
from real influence.
226
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:52,759
The first constituencies
are reporting in now.
227
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,399
They confirm the trend set
by the very first exit polls.
228
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,359
The Moderates are losing out
to the New Democrats.
229
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,959
Five minutes till the first arrivals
at Borgen.
230
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,879
Back in a minute.
231
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,359
It's great to have you back, Torben.
232
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,199
Thank you. I've been wanting
to tell you for a while...
233
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:17,919
I think you're fantastic.
234
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:23,919
But the time with the two of us
was a real mess. I am sorry.
235
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,239
But it's no longer you or me.
236
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,479
I love my wife and children.
237
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,159
I am sorry if I made you think
otherwise.
238
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,999
I meant it more in professional terms
that it was good you were back.
239
00:26:45,120 --> 00:26:48,599
Word is going round
that Alex Hjorth has quit.
240
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,519
Bully for him.
241
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,679
- Simon, can you hear Dan?
- We're ready and waiting.
242
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,519
Hanne, your scarf is crooked.
243
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,479
We'll have the complete results
in ten minutes.
244
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,439
The New Democrats
245
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,759
look as if they'll win 12 seats.
246
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,919
- How many do you need?
- For decisive influence?
247
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,759
We are only one seat short.
248
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,639
- We don't know how it'll end.
- It'll end well!
249
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,999
We are in double figures, damn it!
250
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,279
We may just end up
with the casting vote.
251
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:35,359
If we do, my greatest ambition
is a new government.
252
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,359
What does Denmark need?
A new government!
253
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,279
Politics must be realigned
towards the centre.
254
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:45,521
Here's to the New Democrats!
255
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:54,159
Over to Christiansborg where
Svend Åge Saltum has just arrived.
256
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:59,119
- You've lost two seats.
- I say whoops-a-daisy.
257
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,919
You can't get rid of us
that easily.
258
00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:06,359
We almost have the full results.
259
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,959
The Liberals have had
a really good election.
260
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:18,079
The big winners are Birgitte Nyborg
and the New Democrats
261
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:19,679
with 13 seats.
262
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,439
Well done everyone!
263
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:40,919
You've smashed the Moderates.
You own the centre.
264
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:45,479
Work this out.
Solidarity have made huge gains.
265
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:50,919
The Moderates have had
the worst result in their history.
266
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,640
Thorsen is already saying he wants
to meet, and so does Hesselboe.
267
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,480
We'll be getting some
crazy offers tonight.
268
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,199
We have five taxis waiting downstairs.
269
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,759
What kind of parliament are
we going to get, Torben Friis?
270
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:50,559
One that will find it hard
to ignore Birgitte Nyborg.
271
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:55,559
Neither bloc has
a majority without her.
272
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,959
The New Democrats are
the centre party now.
273
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,239
We're outside Christiansborg.
274
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,159
- Give dad my love, mum.
- Magnus sends his love.
275
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,919
Who is on the steps right now?
276
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,599
The boring Green guy,
what's his name...
277
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,039
OK, pull forward.
278
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,599
Sorry, Carsten...
279
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,319
- Are you the one who decides?
- No, the electorate does that.
280
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,719
- Who will you back?
- It's too early to say.
281
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,679
But a vote for us
is a vote for change.
282
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,759
It's chaos down here.
283
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:03,959
Birgitte has arrived
with her partner,
284
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:09,159
the celebrated English architect
Jeremy Welsh.
285
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:14,079
Behind her we see ex TV1 presenter
and now party press officer
286
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:19,039
Katrine Fønsmark.
Birgitte Nyborg looks triumphant.
287
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,079
20 minutes to go till
the party leader panel.
288
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,559
I am as proud as Punch.
289
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,799
From being an idea hatched
by a handful of people
290
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,000
we have become a mass
movement in less than a year...
291
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:55,999
and won 13 seats in parliament.
292
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,759
Denmark needs a credible,
dynamic government...
293
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,879
- Here comes TV2.
- Hi, Pia.
294
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,839
- Hi. Nice to see you.
- Have you lot been good?
295
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:22,199
Brilliant. Haven't we?
And we're getting better and better.
296
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,199
- We'll beat you in the ratings.
- So you say every time.
297
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,119
Hi! And well done!
298
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:51,599
So you are officially an item?
299
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,439
- Yes.
- It's weird seeing you arrive.
300
00:32:55,560 --> 00:33:00,159
With Jeremy and the kids.
But I'm getting used to it.
301
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,119
He seems... OK.
302
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,919
- Shall we see to the animals?
- He's asleep!
303
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,279
Go home to bed.
304
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,559
See you, mummy.
305
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,159
- Fix us a new government, will you?
- I'll do my best.
306
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,519
With me is former special advisor
Kasper Juul.
307
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:37,439
- A very muddy situation?
- We have to interrupt you...
308
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:43,799
Sorry, Kasper, Simon Bech
is with Birgitte Nyborg.
309
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,079
Sorry, you know what it's like.
Can I get back to you?
310
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,319
Are the youngsters
breathing down your neck?
311
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,279
Yes, of course,
and so they should.
312
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,039
They don't know
what loyalty means.
313
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:18,359
To them, politics is a step up
the career ladder.
314
00:34:20,720 --> 00:34:23,359
You lot are not a hair better.
315
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:29,359
- Some of us are, surely.
- Kasper, you begin as journalists.
316
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:35,839
You spend all your waking hours
getting exposés on politicians.
317
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,319
Then you become Spads
318
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:44,039
and spend all your time fooling
your former friends and journalists.
319
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:50,439
And two minutes later
you're journalists again.
320
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,919
And you have the cheek
321
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,799
to ask us where the cynicism
comes from.
322
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,319
I'd have liked to get that on TV.
323
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:09,119
You look like a man
who misses the circus ring.
324
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,239
Being part of it is different
to just yacking
325
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:19,039
about the mischief
we get up to in there.
326
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,519
You never know
when it's your last election.
327
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:44,119
- What's Benedikte doing in there?
- She's on instead of Svend Åge.
328
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,479
Ready to go on air.
Dorte on camera 4 in five seconds.
329
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,719
Four, three, two, one.
And Dorte.
330
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,719
Denmark has voted.
And here they sit.
331
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:01,319
The party leaders
of the new parliament.
332
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,559
Lars Hesselboe, are you going
to remain prime minister?
333
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:09,919
Yes, if you ask the electorate.
The Liberals are the biggest party
334
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,439
and we have had a splendid election,
so yes.
335
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:18,599
Hans Christian Thorsen,
who is our next prime minister?
336
00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:22,159
The electorate has given a majority
to the opposition
337
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:27,719
of which the New Democrats were
part and of which I am the leader.
338
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,959
And the woman in the middle...
Congratulations on the result.
339
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:37,119
You hold the casting vote.
Who is our next PM?
340
00:36:39,240 --> 00:36:41,919
It is too early to say.
341
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,879
You know what the two men
next to you stand for.
342
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:47,439
It can't be that difficult.
343
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,999
It's one of the most complex
distributions of seats ever.
344
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:56,319
The trick will be to form a government
that can stay the course.
345
00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:03,359
The Moderates have had
the worst election in their history.
346
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,039
Jacob Kruse,
where does your party stand?
347
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:10,159
We have to get our breath back
348
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:14,879
make the best of things,
349
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,679
and move on.
350
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:25,800
Thorsen won't be able to ignore
Anne Sophie Lindenkrone.
351
00:37:26,720 --> 00:37:29,799
Can you work
with Birgitte Nyborg at all?
352
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:36,559
- Is Nyborg willing to work with us?
- That's actually a good question.
353
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,439
What do you say to that?
354
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,399
There's nobody we won't talk to.
355
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,119
One of the changes
that leaps out at us
356
00:37:46,240 --> 00:37:50,399
is that it is not Svend Åge Saltum
who's here for the Freedom party
357
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,919
but you, Benedikte Nedergaard.
358
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,599
Svend Åge is exhausted.
He asked me to represent him.
359
00:37:56,240 --> 00:38:01,439
- The little liar!
- Look! Saltum's singing!
360
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,359
This is fantastic television.
361
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:31,239
The partying is by no means over,
from wakes to euphoria.
362
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:35,079
But there's an intense desire
to resolve the question
363
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:41,479
of who's to be PM.
Tonight will see the answer.
364
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,319
The word is that the Freedom Party
want to be in government.
365
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,879
- What about Labour?
- Thorsen had a poor election.
366
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,559
If he can't form a government
Pernille Madsen will topple him.
367
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,839
Hi Birgitte!
Congratulations!
368
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,159
Pernille is here as deputy chair.
369
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:14,000
I thought we should chalk the lines
and see who'll lead the talks.
370
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:19,839
I am delighted that
you've decided to sup with us.
371
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:24,599
My party and I have major issues
with the economics
372
00:39:24,720 --> 00:39:27,719
of your "Our Denmark" plan.
373
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,079
I can't start by ditching
our election manifesto.
374
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,399
In the long term we can discuss it.
But nothing is sacred.
375
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,799
We'll have to discuss it before
we can discuss who's to be PM.
376
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,159
We can't allow cuts
to corporation tax
377
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,879
or a growth rate dictated
by some central bank.
378
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,359
- Easy now...
- We are not going to give way.
379
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,039
- Is that non-negotiable?
- Yes.
380
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,999
Our similarities are greater
than our differences.
381
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:02,039
- Now for Hesselboe.
- Yvonne is there but not Benedikte.
382
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:06,559
But the Freedom Party
may have approached Labour.
383
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:11,279
No combination is being left unturned.
384
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:18,799
I have convinced Hesselboe that talks
with Thorsen are going well.
385
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,479
So you can go for broke.
386
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,799
- Good to see you.
- Likewise.
387
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,599
Yvonne and I have just been
discussing the situation.
388
00:40:29,720 --> 00:40:32,799
We are not naive enough to think
389
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,279
that you will support a government
with the Freedom Party in cabinet.
390
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,639
I envisage a coalition
391
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:47,319
with the Liberals, the New Right,
the Moderates and you.
392
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,359
And of course there will be several
senior cabinet posts for you.
393
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,239
I am not interested in talking
cabinet posts right now
394
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,879
but in discussing the content
of the new government's platform.
395
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,159
- That will take time to discuss.
- Of course.
396
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:08,279
We can already say that we can't
support your cuts in public spending.
397
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,999
We can no longer afford
welfare as we know it.
398
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:17,999
We can't afford the tax cuts
you promised the electorate.
399
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:22,239
Unless you are willing
to seek a consensus
400
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,199
it will be hard for us
to form a government.
401
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,279
It may be more pragmatic
402
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,279
to negotiate with you
from case to case.
403
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,039
To sign agreements with you
404
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:36,959
but allow you
to stand on the outside.
405
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,839
There is also a third option.
406
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:46,879
That you make concessions.
407
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,519
Yes.
That is what I have heard.
408
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:58,079
OK. But call me
when you have any news.
409
00:41:58,200 --> 00:41:59,719
That's fine. Bye.
410
00:42:01,720 --> 00:42:05,599
Yes. It's a bit of a hornet's nest.
411
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,479
I think I'll...
412
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:14,799
Take care.
413
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,319
OK, what have we got?
Thorsen, stymied.
414
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,079
The Labour Party
facing a potential faction war.
415
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:39,559
And Solidarity have
overplayed their hand.
416
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,199
They would never overturn
a red government.
417
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:42,800
Until the day when they do it anyway.
418
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:46,479
A government with their backing
will be economically irresponsible.
419
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:50,039
The markets don't always react negatively
to red governments.
420
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:54,439
The alternative is a blue bloc
that is far too cocky.
421
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,839
We are not backing
a blue government.
422
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:01,679
But we can't have Thorsen
without Lindenkrone.
423
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,519
- Listen to Birgitte.
- I am. We choose both sides.
424
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:10,719
We form a government with Thorsen
and do our economics with blue bloc.
425
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,359
We want to maximise
our influence.
426
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,159
Not at any price, Jon.
427
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:24,079
We need a stable government,
not short-term solutions.
428
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,319
Hesselboe is putting together
a majority without us.
429
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:28,999
Impossible!
430
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:36,079
In 1978 the Liberals teamed up
with Labour.
431
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,559
So yes, they can form a majority
without us.
432
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,599
- We can't not use our seats!
- It's tactics.
433
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:52,639
It's got to be.
434
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,519
"There may be other combinations.
Meet me in the colonnade".
435
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,199
Birgitte?
436
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,679
- Hans Christian.
- Good evening.
437
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:41,239
Or good night. An odd place to meet
but I have my reasons.
438
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:45,079
Evening!
439
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:49,079
This is confidential.
440
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:55,879
It's no secret that we see eye to eye
on quite a few matters.
441
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:01,159
But reaching agreement was tricky
under Svend Åge's leadership.
442
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,999
But you're taking over? Congrats.
443
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:08,079
A modern Freedom Party
under Benedikte,
444
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,159
I can work with.
445
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,879
But the Freedom Party's values?
446
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:18,719
Many of the major disagreements were
because of Svend Åge's language.
447
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:23,199
We won't require more restrictions
on refugees.
448
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:29,959
Let's focus on areas where we can meet.
Social policy, business policy.
449
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:34,159
We are talking the Labour Party,
the Freedom Party, the Greens,
450
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,119
and hopefully your own party,
Birgitte.
451
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:41,519
After all, we are all interested in
a change of government, aren't we?
452
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,559
A showdown
with the curse of block politics.
453
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,439
And here we suddenly stand
with a historic chance
454
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:51,359
to form a majority government
and bring the left and right together.
455
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,919
I hope you understand the gravity
inherent in our proposal.
456
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,599
Desperate times require
courageous solutions.
457
00:46:01,720 --> 00:46:05,439
A government spanning the centre.
458
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:09,359
In the light of the need
for action and stability
459
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,719
we are willing to discuss
460
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:18,239
whether the post of prime minister
should be placed in your hands.
461
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,119
They have offered me
the prime ministership.
462
00:46:45,240 --> 00:46:47,279
- Who has?
- Thorsen.
463
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,479
Impossible! It is his sole ambition!
464
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:55,119
Pernille wants to topple him.
It's his last resort.
465
00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:01,039
To remain chairman
by offering me the job of PM.
466
00:47:02,240 --> 00:47:06,039
A government consisting of
the Labour Party, the Greens, us,
467
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,079
and Benedikte Nedergaard.
468
00:47:11,720 --> 00:47:18,159
A majority government with me
as PM with only 13 seats, Bent.
469
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,999
Has anyone the right to take power
with so few seats?
470
00:47:26,240 --> 00:47:29,199
The electorate didn't vote
to have me as their PM.
471
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:31,919
And we said right from the start
472
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:36,439
that we wanted to deprive
the Freedom Party of any power.
473
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:49,919
What are my options?
474
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,479
I'd hoped for a government
under Thorsen.
475
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:58,119
But it's unrealistic
if it relies on Solidarity.
476
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:01,719
Then there's re-election of Hesselboe?
477
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:07,359
Can I push him to where I want him?
478
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:12,959
Finally, the big issue:
who can count to a majority?
479
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,079
I can if I accept this offer.
480
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:24,079
When have you seen me
happiest of all?
481
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:27,399
When you were prime minister.
482
00:48:28,720 --> 00:48:30,359
And I can be prime minister again.
483
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,239
This time for a majority government.
484
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,639
It's an historic opportunity.
485
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:45,239
Government decisions can be
implemented the next day.
486
00:48:47,720 --> 00:48:50,479
Do you realise
what I would be able to achieve?
487
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,319
I am in the driving seat.
488
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,319
Right now I am in the driving seat.
489
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:17,119
We need to hang on for the talks.
490
00:49:17,240 --> 00:49:20,559
- He's not.
- He is.
491
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,119
- He no longer has a lighter.
- Look!
492
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:26,479
OK. Quite.
493
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:30,879
It's a deal.
494
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:35,359
Torben?
495
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,719
Phew! Thanks everyone for
a great evening. Well done.
496
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,879
Dan and Pia, super cool.
497
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:49,439
Hanne and Ulrik, I must say.
498
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:54,119
My arse has been be saved by
a clapped-out women's libber and a...
499
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:59,479
a metro sexual media darling.
That's what you are, isn't it?
500
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,039
Well done, thank you all.
It was great. Really great.
501
00:50:03,720 --> 00:50:10,479
Here it comes: "Head of programmes
Alex Hjorth to leave TV1".
502
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:15,919
So we'll just have to wait and see.
Drive safely.
503
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:22,279
Hi, darling.
504
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:16,359
Are we getting you back again?
505
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,239
Be careful what you wish for.
506
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:25,479
Lovely to see you.
He'll be out in a moment.
507
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,039
They have offered me
the prime ministership.
508
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:55,079
- With 13 seats.
- Lots of offers get made this late.
509
00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:01,479
But I think we should form a stable,
credible government
510
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:05,919
with you at its head.
On certain clear conditions.
511
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,839
Aha... speak forth.
512
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:18,239
With the Liberals, New Right,
and the New Democrats.
513
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:23,519
The Moderates are too devastated.
514
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:29,319
We must aim for
a responsible economic policy.
515
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:34,959
That means broad-based agreements,
the necessary welfare reforms.
516
00:52:35,720 --> 00:52:39,399
A green backbone to our policy
for industry.
517
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:41,799
A certain easing of restrictions
on immigration.
518
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,559
That's quite a mouthful.
519
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,079
I am the one who can enable
you to count to 90, Lars.
520
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:55,599
Where do you see yourself,
hypothetically speaking?
521
00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:02,279
Where you'd prefer me to be.
Outside the country. As foreign minister.
522
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:03,599
You've got cheek, eh?
523
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,439
We both know it'll be tricky.
524
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:10,679
But I need to know if you think
we can see eye to eye.
525
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:16,679
- Or you'll become PM.
- The possibility exists.
526
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:28,959
I am sure we can see eye to eye.
527
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,280
I think the electorate
will thank us for it.
528
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,799
I really don't care
how old you are, it...
529
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:09,039
I suppose I'd given up believing
in anything at all...
530
00:54:12,720 --> 00:54:14,919
it's probably an occupational hazard.
531
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:16,879
But...
532
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:20,639
I think I want this.
533
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:25,079
It terrifies me, too.
534
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:04,959
Good morning.
535
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:21,319
- Milk?
- Please.
536
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:28,999
- Thanks for your efforts.
- It's been a pleasure.
537
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:33,879
Hi, Torben.
538
00:56:34,240 --> 00:56:36,799
I was just saying my goodbyes.
539
00:56:38,240 --> 00:56:42,599
I am moving on. But it's been fun.
540
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:49,639
Alex?
541
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:57,279
Next time you want some fun,
542
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:00,839
go to the fair.
543
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:14,359
I am pushing for Erik for justice,
Jon for tax or economy,
544
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:16,439
and me for foreign minister.
545
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,719
It is a pretty decent place
to work.
546
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:33,399
It's my second home.
