Congratulations, boys. You have found oil!

They have found oil in Greenland.

You know what that means for our independence.

- Climate disaster! - Press management is crucial.

Katrine Fønsmark takes the executive chair in TV1's news department.

I went to the polls on climate goals. I do not fail them.

You have to convince the Greenlanders up there -

- as Acting Arctic Ambassador.

Funny that vegans hijack a truck with pigs.

- And then half are killed. - You're no longer Prime Minister.

- What do we know about the company? - The Russians have bought in.

- We must investigate. - I'm contacting PET.

PET knows you work for the oil company.

They need information. Discreet.

One of those who has bought into the drilling company is Mikhail Gamov -

the personal friend of the Russian president . The inner circle.

We stand in shit to the neck and are on our way to bed with the devil.

Asger.

- Hi. Welcome to Ilulissat. - Thanks.

Hans, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Affairs. - Asger, deputy head ...

No, I am Birgitte Nyborg's newly constituted Arctic ambassador.

Can't we just take it again?

- You're a little confused. - Movies I?

- Mie, TV1. We're making a portrait. - I wrote an email about it yesterday.

- Just go in and get out again. - Okay. Yes we do.

Just like you did before, just less confused. Roof.

Is it okay for us to go straight down to the negotiations?

You do not have to pass the hotel first, do you?

Uh no, that's fine. I'm ready.

Good morning, Birgitte. - No what ...?

- We won yesterday. Insanely fat. - Congratulations.

The Foreign Policy Board requests an urgent meeting on the oil on Thursday 9.30.

Well. I must convince the Folketing that we must not use the oil.

Has Gamov personally joined the drilling company?

Can we get the company's relations with the Russian government confirmed?

Who knows the most about the Russians? Excuse me, what's going on?

- We sweep for eavesdropping equipment. - Can you continue in another room?

The Swedes ...

... know most about the Russians.

There is an N5 meeting today for all the Nordic foreign ministers.

Grab the Swedish and ask for a little conversation about our Russian friend.

Yes Yes.

- We say thank you for that scarf. - Of course.

- Is not the meeting in your office? - Sit down.

- Cake? Ivalo has baked itself. - Yes please.

- Coffee? - Yes please.

When are the others coming? Your administration, the officials?

No, it's just the two of us. We'll take it ourselves then.

We can not. We are not on level.

You're a minister. I'm an official. That ...

We talk principles, right? Greenland 's subsoil belongs to Greenland.

When the oil revenues come, we will phase out the block grant -

- and then the oil revenues belong to Greenland.

But Copenhagen also has a desire to get some billions?

Do I have to borrow the toilet?

Birgitte, I'm in Hans Eliassen's utility room.

At his home. The man will negotiate the distribution of oil revenues now!

It's so typical of Hans. Pure strategy.

- I'll negotiate with the Minister! - Obtain the number of the chairman of the county council.

He asks how many billions Copenhagen wants.

Asger, you need to get out of those negotiations.

Say you can not negotiate with him and the climate weighs heavier than the money.

Now we just have to see to get on level. I'm talking to the chairman of the county council.

- Hi. - Who are you?

My name is Asger. I'm negotiating with Hans.

- You come from Copenhagen, right? - Yes, yes.

- And it's about the oil? - Yes exactly.

- He takes so much ass on you. - Well okay.

- The Swedish Foreign Minister in ten. - Well, it's Birgitte Nyborg.

Well, we have a little challenge with Hans Eliassen.

My husband contacts your husband / wife, and then we get some control over Hans.

Sofia. Nice to see you again.

Thank you for drawing on Sweden's good contacts in Moscow.

I've inquired about Mikhail Gamov -

- and he is a somewhat dubious gentleman.

He's been under the radar since he left the Russian government -

- but is still on the President's Security Council, albeit unofficially.

He was deeply involved in the annexation of Crimea.

Take a deep breath. It's getting worse.

I have from reliable sources -

- that he gets on the EU sanctions list -

- because of its contacts with what we like to call the Russian mafia -

- for which he also launders money.

Birgitte, it does not have to be dangerous just because they are Russians.

In Sweden, we have managed to have a constructive dialogue with them.

You are not a full NATO member or ally with the United States as we are.

No, this is going to be a problem.

You do not look like someone who has a problem.

Maybe the problem can be to my advantage.

With the oil billions that are being talked about -

- can we become independent.

I would be proud to lift it in that direction.

Well, what are you looking at?

The last shots from Greenland for the portrait in the 18's.

We have the world's highest quality requirements for mining and oil extraction -

- so we should probably make sure to get the right framework around it.

Holm Kirkegaard, Deputy Chief ... No, newly appointed Arctic Ambassador.

- Who's the clown? - Can we take it again?

Nyborg's husband in Greenland. - Does he have a hangover?

It's cool to show that Greenland is in control of it, while the Danes are fumbling.

- We do not want to be politically correct. - Was it for me?

What? No.

Reach. Nyborg's new Arctic ambassador must convince Greenland of -

- how important the climate is for Denmark.

- They are fighting over the oil money in Greenland. - In Greenland.

It's called "in" Greenland. It is an independent area.

Malik.

- Anything new from the drilling site? - What does PET want to know?

Are there many Russians?

Have the owners been there? Do you know who they are?

Such a thing, Malik.

- Will the Navy take me back? - Come up with something I can use.

There is a big meeting on Thursday with important people.

We will hear more about that meeting.

Malik! I want to talk with you.

Pardon. I'll be right back.

- Hi. - Hi Dad.

How are you?

- I've got a new tooth. - Orv, may I see?

- Does it hurt? - I have to buy him new clothes.

- I can not afford. - You smoke joints.

You have an expensive boat, but you can not afford to give me more?

- It's my employer's boat. - Do not lie.

You work for an oil company. You have found oil.

It has nothing to do with me.

- Well. Then I talk to Hans. - No, do not do that.

Bye Bye. See you.

Hi, Volkov. Many new people?

- Yes. Have you signed? - On what?

Now just sign.

Hi.

- Are you one of the new ones? - Yes, I just came.

- What is it about? - We'm tightening up.

There are too many who ask too many questions.

What do I sign?

That the CEC may sue the bullets of you if you yell.

Your mobile, please.

Make sure you have fresh coffee and then pick up some inside Ilulissat.

- Are you looking for something? - No.

- There's coffee on the table. - Well.

Sid ned.

Is there anything new about the PET operation in Greenland?

- And about the owners of the drilling company? - Not yet.

Can we push? I spoke to the Swedish Foreign Minister today ...

- Jon, I've been getting guests. - Yes, we are actually done.

Oh boy. You do not go for design prices.

It is bulletproof, has an alarm button and can hold anything.

Your son was not thrilled either. He arrived a few hours ago.

- Cozy. Were you right in the area? - Yes.

Why did you turn my room into a security room?

- It's the most suitable. - I do not feel super welcome.

- But you have also moved away from home. - Yes.

- Or are you going to stay? - Is not it cozy? A couple of days?

I can take the couch now I have no room left.

- It does not work for Karoline and I. - Karoline and me.

- It's her apartment. - You do not speak nicely to her.

Did she throw you out? Have you done anything stupid? Found another?

Do you have?

- Behave yourself. - Are you raising me?

It was just a few years late, right?

Those oil billions give us the foundation to be able to do what we dream of.

Please just shut up. Mom, does he brag that they have to burn off a lot of oil?

- I'm closing it. - He decides.

In the end, it's Denmark.

We can ensure our independence -

- in close cooperation with the Canadian oil company.

Here, next to Disko Bay, the oil has been found.

Negotiations on the distribution of oil revenues are now starting .

At the port, some have taken advances on the joys.

Bowl!

Disco Bay is where the bowhead whale finds food.

- I do not think. - I wrote an essay about it in the fifth.

We made a fat poster. Dad helped with a drawing of the bowhead whale.

Well yes.

You can not remember.

The police are at a standstill in the case of pig transport -

- which was left on a field. The pigs were shut out by unknown ...

Well, then we should not see more news?

I take a bath.

- Hello. - Hello Frederik.

I just wanted to hear if everything was okay.

May I sit? - Yes of course.

I want to turn something around with you.

I received an email yesterday from the country chairman's press adviser.

They were not happy, you ended the feature yesterday with drunk teenagers.

Okay ... Were they dissatisfied with the feature in general?

It was a sunbeam story about the oil discovery.

Yes, because ...

She thought it was a somewhat stereotypical way of portraying Greenlanders.

We agree that we make free and independent news, right?

There is an alcohol problem in Greenland.

I had reminded the chairman of the county council -

that they themselves, under the corona, issued a ban on the sale of alcohol,

- to protect the children. So they do not have a big problem with alcohol?

Yes, but then make a feature about it. Yesterday it was about the oil discovery.

If oil had been found in Esbjerg -

- had you also finished with some drunk teenagers? No, right?

Should we agree that you as a boss are trying to get a sharper eye on the balance?

Did the CEO say something we need to know?

No. Where are we in relation to Greenland?

We need to be a little sharper. The feature yesterday was not good enough.

A well-connected source says that there is a lot of irritation in Greenland -

- about Birgitte Nyborg 's "caffe latte policy".

I belong to the filter coffee generation. Could one get a translation?

He says Nyborg does not have eyes -

- on the misery and forget the importance of oils for their independence.

Not irrelevant criticism.

That she is not at eye level with low-income groups.

That story we run:

Nyborg's elitist climate correctness in relation to the Greenlandic reality.

Yes, that's cool. We get Birgitte in front of ...

... a popular Greenlandic politician.

Our new darling in Greenland, Hans Eliassen.

Well. We call and see if Nyborg wants to join.

Foreign Policy Board tomorrow, shall we run it through?

The government has an ambitious climate policy.

It is politically independent and out of date to invest in fossil fuels.

"Freedom Party rapporteur with a question."

"We have been told that there is at least DKK 2,000 billion in oil."

"Leading -

- that Denmark's reputation as a green pioneer is worth so much? "

- I can not place that dialect. - Herning. "Please answer."

Maybe the Freedom Party would feel the beloved freedom limited -

- if the seas flood the land.

- Be careful not to get arrogant. - Yes.

"Why is the government interfering in Greenland's raw materials?"

Denmark looks after Greenland's foreign policy interests.

An oil discovery of this size is foreign policy.

- We have a duty to intervene. - Questions of interpretation.

The oil company is partly in Russian hands, which the United States will not allow.

Furthermore, a very central owner is the Russian citizen Mikhail Gamov -

- which the EU will sanction and which is laundering the Russian mafia.

Not a business partner we can get involved with.

- Such. Very convincing. - Thanks.

How much does Gamov own? If it 's not much, you have no case.

- I'll call Asger. - Call from a secure connection.

It reminds me a little of you.

When will I get a little grounding?

Crazy.

- Is he about to be here? - He must be on the stairs.

- Hans. Was it at 9, we agreed? - Yes, but have you seen the weather?

Whales have been spotted. We're going sailing.

- What do you wear in boots? - 43-44.

- I'll get some for you. Here you go. - I have to ... Hans?

Hello. Sorry, I'm coming a little late, but the fog made it hard to land.

Hello. Asger Holm Kirkegaard, Acting Arctic Ambassador.

Emmy Rasmussen, Chairman of the Department.

- I have to take part in the negotiations. - Se ...

- Hi. Emmy. - We have not met each other.

- I'm new. Shall we get started? - We are shown on the way out to sail.

- Whales have been spotted. - Yes, yesterday and the day before yesterday.

- Listen, what's your mandate? - Shall we take it in private?

- What's really going on? - I'm here on behalf of Naja. Okay?

Naja will talk to you.

As you speak, I take care of the ambassador.

- They should look like this. - Well, the tattoos?

- Great, right? - Much.

But I can not afford this month. I have to pay extra child support.

Malik! Do not forget this one.

- Hello again. - Hello again.

I'm sorry. We're going out to see the drilling site.

- Hi, Malik. - It was a long time ago.

- Do you live here? - Yes, I work for the oil company.

- We went to the gym together. - Hi. My name is Malik.

I work for the drilling company, and then I'm big brother to Tanja.

- Well, so you're Hans' son? - No.

My sister is Hans' and Ivalo's adopted child.

- Our family has had a hard time. - Shall we drive?

Well, should we not have Hans with us?

There's something he needs to talk to the country chairman about. They're talking now.

When you have children early and do not get an education ...

- That wood smells strong enough. - It smells nice of summer.

- Of summer? - Yes, just like in Denmark.

But it's not the kids ...

Can we turn down the heat, the air conditioning?

- Scroll down the window. - It does not work.

- Press the button. - There is child safety.

Aren't you sweet to screw down a bit?

This one I need to take and I need a break. Hold in when you can.

Can you hear me? Birgitte, who's really bad ...

Hang on. I'm trying to go up on ... little hill. Hello?

- Hello? Yes, now I can hear you. - Asger, listen here.

Further information on Gamov: money laundering, mafia links.

He is on his way to the EU sanctions list.

It is crucial how much Gamov is involved in the company.

I'm meeting the US Ambassador today to hear how much they know.

Has Hans mentioned anything about any Russians -

- and how much of the company they sit on?

No, but you only get to know it from Hans, which Hans thinks you should know.

He has deceived our aversion to Russian owners -

- and refers to it as the Canadian company.

If Gamov only owns 10-15%, we can not use it for anything.

I'm on my way to the drill site now.

- Should I test them on the owners? - Good idea.

I have to use it in the Foreign Policy Board tomorrow to close it.

Asger, newly appointed Arctic Ambassador? Congratulations on the job. Clear?

The final plant will be 40-50 times larger than what you have just seen.

We blow all those mountains away. About 20 million cubic meters of bedrock.

If you have no further questions ...?

- Then we'll be done. - Thank you.

Just one last thing, Caroline.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has taken a closer look at the CEC's circle of owners.

Am I right that you are no longer 100% in Canadian hands?

Yes. We have opened the doors to international investors.

But the heart and soul of the company is still Canadian.

Nevertheless, you should know that your new main investor ...

Gamov? He is being investigated by Interpol.

And the European Council intends to take action against his companies.

And then ... of course he's having a hard time selling the oil.

But of course you are aware of that, aren't you?

- Of course. Now I have to move on. - Thanks for now.

What kind of intervention has the EU launched?

I have no idea.

But that seemed to set some thoughts in motion, didn't it?

How do I feel about having a younger female boss?

Let me quote the great US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

"Hell has a place for women who do not help other women."

Exactly.

The US Ambassador is here.

We end at 18, because your son has a birthday.

You are on TV1 at 21.30. Eliassen is from Greenland.

- Should I make a gift? - Thanks. No, I'll fix that.

You're meeting Stranton now. You can use this if you like.

The Russians have suddenly become very interested in Greenland.

I want to inform you about a potentially serious situation in Greenland.

Several Russian companies have bought into the company -

- drilling for oil in Greenland.

But maybe the United States knows that well?

As you know -

- foreign and security policy knowledge is something that is shared as needed.

I do not completely agree.

You can also share something because it's nice to know.

It's undoubtedly nice for you to know -

- that I have just received an application from Moscow -

- to open a consulate in Nuuk, just as the United States has.

For years, Russia has had no interest in Greenland.

But now they want to open a consulate, while drilling for oil -

- and the largest Russian owner of the company -

- is none other than Mikhail Gamov.

That suggests a new strategy, right?

I guess it's now you're telling me what I can do for you.

You can say that the United States can under no circumstances accept -

- that Russia operates in Greenland. Not at all with those actors.

Then the oil adventure ends, and I have to tell you tomorrow -

- at the meeting with the Foreign Policy Board at 9.

No wonder you feel bad when you stare at your computer.

- Do you know where you are? - Yes I know.

I'm in Ilulissat, Knud Rasmussen's hometown.

I have read everything he has written, several times.

Don't you want to see what he saw?

Let's show him the Icefjord.

- Do you need a hand? - No, that's fine.

This place is called Nakkaavik.

It means "where one falls".

In the old days, people feared famine much more than death -

- so everyone had to be able to contribute.

If you could not do it anymore, this was where you threw yourself out.

But thank you so much for today. It was nice meeting you.

That was it, at least.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

- So what? - May I give you some good advice?

You're not going to score ladies here with those shoes.

- What's wrong with my shoes? - Ladies here like to be stuck.

You can buy more practical shoes over there.

Okay, but I'm not going to score ladies.

- There in the blue over there? - Yes.

Okay. I look straight.

Malik. Why have I not heard from you? The meeting is tomorrow.

I'm trying to get the Navy to take you back. You have to deliver your part.

Here's a thermos like the ones out there, but we've been tinkering with it -

- so we can listen in the room you put it in. Okay?

And.

- Then there has been shopping. Better? - Much better. You look good.

Well. Who was he?

One I knew from when I was in the Navy.

Then Sejrø is on the list. Should I find time for him on Friday?

No, drop Sejrø and remind me of him next week.

We will pick you up again at 20.15 if you need to reach for the make-up.

Ask them if they have the cream that prevents sweating.

I do not remember what it's called.

I'll check that. You're a little late.

You only get an hour and a quarter to three for your son's birthday.

- He's so used to that. - Also that you do not have a gift with?

No, damn it!

No!

You give him a necklace and a pair of sneaks.

You said he was environmentally conscious so they are in vegan leather.

- How do you know his size? - I called your ex-husband.

Stay that way, and you'll become a department head.

Nice to be promoted on his professionalism.

Sally only wants meat, Karla is pescetar ...

Sorry I'm late. Congratulations!

- Tak, mutti. - Has it been a good day?

- You've met Ellen, Ida's mother. - Then you were not Foreign Minister.

- Congratulations on the post. - Thank you very much.

Well, what can it be?

- No, they're pissed off! - They are good enough beautiful.

And.

And even size 45. Fat, Mom!

- It's Laura. - Hey, Karla. Are you having a good time?

- Yes, Magnus' mother is here too. - It's damn my mother too.

- Hey darling. - I'm calling you, Laura.

- Congratulations. - Thanks. Is there still fat in New York?

- Did you and Sarah move in together? - Yes. Last week.

- Hi Magnus. Congratulations. - Thanks.

Then you two just need to have a kid so mom can become grandma.

And father can become both father and grandfather at the same time.

Laura, hey. Did you read the article I sent?

Yes, super exciting. I have used some of it in my assignment.

Treasure ...

I'm almost through your introduction. I'll probably send those notes there.

Now it is my turn. We enter the living room. Say goodbye.

- I completely forget to say congratulations. - Thanks.

- And welcome. - Thanks.

- What? - Nothing.

It's great to see you enjoy life.

I 'd never think I've had it as good as it does now.

No sorry. That sounded wrong.

No, it's good you feel that way.

I'm glad not to work so much.

I'm glad I do not have to apologize for working so much.

- Well, the minister's car is there ... - Go straight in. We just sing.

So, look here!

Magnus has a birthday, and he has, and it is today.

Magnus has a birthday, and he has it today.

- Now listen here, how will everyone ... - Humble will.

Now hear here how we will hum.

Congratulations honey. I have to run. I'm going into the news.

I sleep with Dad for a few days.

- Is it okay? - Yes. Then you have a real bed.

I think -

- that Birgitte Nyborg's world is very far from the Greenlandic everyday life.

Right down at the harbor, some people work who do not earn very much.

If you ask if they would like a better life thanks to the oil -

- the answer is yes please.

Birgitte Nyborg -

- is your perspective too far away from ordinary people?

I'm a very ordinary person myself -

- but it is my job to think both of our own society and of the world.

My decisions can hurt the individual but benefit the community.

Hans, fishing is the most important source of income for Greenland -

- in addition to the block grant.

And down at your port , they're starting to land cod -

- because the water has become warmer. The fisherman may not think about that.

It's a cry for help from an ecosystem -

- climate change is destroying.

So maybe it was actually you, Hans, who needed to change perspective.

- Hello. - Hi.

- Hi, Mom, so what? - Thanks for the whale. It is cute.

You are welcome.

- What's it called ... - So what?

Shall we not just say I take the couch and then you get the bedroom?

Mom, how cute are you, but that's totally cool.

It's nice with dad with Ida and all the kids.

Then you do not have to think about me and fill the radiator.

- Honey, I'm always thinking of you. - Two seconds ...

- Hello. What do you say? - I'm always thinking of you.

- Hi Mom? - Hello.

Mom, I can barely hear you. I will call tomorrow.

- I will call tomorrow. Hey, mother. - Bye Bye.

Good morning.

- The American ambassador is here. - What?

- I'll be on the board soon. - Well, he insisted.

I've been trying to get you.

- Richard. - Birgitte, nice to see you.

- Did you forget something? - No no ...

- Two days in a row. - This is probably my lucky week.

Let me begin by conveying the warmest greetings from the President.

He appreciates that our close allies are acting professionally.

- Can I speak freely from the liver? - Here you go.

I have participated in some interesting conversations.

As you know -

- Bomani Ndjamena will step down as UN Secretary-General in a year and a half.

We think it's time -

that a European woman takes over the post.

As former Prime Minister -

- and now Foreign Minister with a global network -

- are you the obvious choice.

We can not discuss it officially yet, but I just wanted to mention it.

Why was it so compelling to meet now?

It's a trifle, but we appreciate -

- that you informed us that Gamov has bought into the oil company.

Have you told others about him?

No not yet.

The United States would like to ask our old allies for a favor.

At the meeting of the Foreign Policy Board -

- you will be asked about the ownership of the oil company.

The CIA is currently investigating the Russians -

- and we want to use your information to put pressure on them.

Can I get you to refrain from mentioning Mikhail Gamov's name?

It is precisely his name that can convince the board of -

- that Denmark and thus also Greenland must stop the oil project.

We're just asking for 36 hours.

The meetings of the Foreign Policy Board take place in complete confidentiality.

We regularly experience that information is leaked from the board.

It would mean a lot to us if you could help us.

We would greatly appreciate it.

Of course.

- It's very risky. - I'm in control of it, Rasmus.

- Then the car is here. - Oliver ...

- I have two minutes, please. - I know what you mean.

If you lie to the board, you are lying to the council.

It could cost you your ministerial post.

- When it appears from an article ... - It says nothing about Gamov.

We do not have the full overview. I say that.

You know more than you say. And wasn't Gamov your trump card?

Yes, but it means a lot to Americans.

Rasmus, you've done your duty as a civil servant -

informed me of the risk, and I dare to run it.

So.

United States, our most important ally -

- will have difficulty accepting Russian owners of the company.

So we do not believe that the oil project can continue.

Jens Enok Bertelsen, Independent Greenland -

- and then Jens Jakob Steen from the Liberals.

The Foreign Minister politicizes his desire to stop the oil project.

Agree. The United States is well aware that Europe gets a large share of our gas from the Russians.

So they live with that.

The United States will not live with the fact that the Russians operate directly in Greenland -

- where the United States has special strategic interests.

The Minister of Justice is launching a PET operation in Greenland.

Have they discovered anything disturbing about the Russian owners?

We have not come across anything that should give cause for concern.

I think we're getting through.

Kristian Møller, Solidarisk Samling, has one last question.

It's for the Secretary of State.

Does she know of any specific Russian owners of the drilling company -

- or only to the companies mentioned in the Financial Times?

No. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is forming an overview.

So if I're specifically asking about Mikhail Gamov -

- then the Foreign Minister can not confirm that he is among the owners?

It is still being investigated.

A few days ago, you spoke to the Swedish Foreign Minister.

Are the Swedes not good at asking about what is going on in Moscow?

It is correct.

Then I ask once again whether the Foreign Minister is aware of -

that the Russian Mikhail Gamov is one of the owners behind that company -

- drilling for oil in Greenland.

I do not have the full overview, so no, I'm not familiar with that.

Then we end the meeting. Thanks for the good order.

Hello, Malik!

- Was there any news about the oil case? - No comment.

Is this ministry a say? How the hell did it come out?

- Maybe it's not from here. - Where the hell did you come from?

Someone who works here can not shut up! Oliver?

I have instructional responsibilities to the officials of the ministry.

So live up to that instructional responsibility and find out who leaked it!

So.

Magnus, little darling. What are you doing here?

- I thought you were over at Dad's. - I want to sleep here for a few days.

Is that right?

Did you even buy me the birthday presents?

Yes of course.

You're so fucking bad at lying. It's actually quite wild.

But I think they're fat, Mom.
