A NETFLIX SERIES

“EVERY BATTLE IS WON
BEFORE IT'S EVER FOUGHT.”

SUN TZU

- Sled Team 5, this is Daneborg.
- Sled Team 5 here.

We have a message
from Arctic Command in Nuuk.

A US surveillance plane observed an object
which crashed 57 kilometers from you.

We cannot access the area by helicopter
and request you check it out.

Roger.

We have a new course. We're going north.

- God dammit, we were almost home.
- Something crashed.

- What?
- Possibly a small aircraft.

AC is asking us to check it out.

Harness the dogs. We're leaving now.

Come on…

POWER IN DENMARK

A quick update. Suspended sentence
of 40 days and a fine of 7,000 kroner.

That's the price for killing 17 pigs
headed for the slaughterhouse anyway.

I'll accept my punishment,
but will the pig industry be punished?

Magnus here. Leave a message.

Hi, sweetie. It's Mom.

You're posting on Instagram,

but you don't reply
to my texts or pick up.

I don't mean to sound angry.

I'm just upset,
and I'd like to explain to you

why I did what I did.

Would you please call me?

Thanks.

- Should I come back later?
- Not at all. What is it?

Something crashed
in a deserted part of Greenland.

We don't know what it was.
The Sirius Patrol was dispatched.

The Ministry of Defense
and the PM's Office are updating me.

What do we think it is?

No civil aircraft are missing.

The Russians are on Arctic maneuvers.

- Did the Russians lose a plane?
- Not officially.

Yes.

- The Justice Minister's on his way.
- Thanks.

Could somebody discreetly ask the Russians

if they lost something
in the airspace over Greenland?

Somebody could…

Who has good connections to Russia?

The Swedes.

Should I text someone?

Hi, Jon. Good to see you.

- Coffee?
- No, thanks.

You asked us to check if we can
get out of the Chinese agreement.

The short answer is no.

Not without breaching the contract,
and we'd have to pay damages.

It would be expensive.

We sent you a 20-page reply,
but that's the long and short of it.

Jon, sit down for a minute.

Do you read your emails?

People are leaving the party.

Including long-standing members.

The reason they give us is

that we're suddenly destroying the climate
because it's worth 2,000 billion to us.

That's simplifying the problem.

No, Birgitte.
You know how hard I try to protect you.

We founded the party together.

And we promised each other not to end up
being what people despise in politicians.

We're not

a spineless power party.

We are a party in power.
Look at you. You're the Justice Minister.

A party leader has to make
hard, unpopular choices.

Not without the group.

Yes, sometimes without discussing it
with the group.

You'll have to as well,
once you take over the party leadership.

Because you will.

You're the only one who can.

I remember who we were when we started.

People have a lot of opinions about me,
but I need to know

if you're on my side.

Let's have an after-party.
I'll get the booze.

Hurry up.

Hurry up. We're having a party. Come on!

You have no future anyway.

Hi, Birgitte. It's 5:20 a.m. here.

Well, you're awake now.

The Ministry of Justice doesn't see
a way out of the agreement.

No, of course they don't.

"Of course"?

Jon is pissed off with you.

You're pretty damn sharp
at 5:20 a.m., huh?

Last year, Parliament passed an Act

to prevent unwanted parties from
monopolizing important infrastructure

such as the energy sector.
Would that be useful?

Birgitte, I need to understand…

Are we for or against oil today?

We're for oil,

but we're trying to walk a tightrope
between the US and China right now.

We didn't get to Josva
and his land in time,

so we have to find our legal basis
elsewhere for delaying the process.

Exactly.

Is there a procedural error
in the correspondence

between the drilling company
and the Greenlandic government?

I asked but haven't received any copies.

So they might be hiding something.
Ask them again.

Okay.

Our first priority is finding
something in the correspondence

to delay the process
and please the Americans.

Then we need to get Denmark
billions from the oil. Correct?

Correct.

- Go back to sleep for a while, then.
- No, I may as well get up.

And meet with Hans
to secure the billions from the oil.

- I'm awake anyway.
- Good boy. Have a nice day.

You too. Thanks.

As you know, I had to tell Narciza
she's no longer an anchor with us.

You deserve to know the reasons why.

Narciza is an amazing anchor.

But reporters in this department
have to accept certain editorial decisions

made by the head of news.

Yes, Mikkel?

I just want to know
if the reason was one bad interview?

No, of course not.

And I did not fire her
because of interpersonal problems

or what you may have heard.

Our journalistic differences
were too great

and dominated the editorial meetings.

I know my predecessor
did not attend editorial meetings

and kept his distance.

However, I work best
by getting involved in editorial meetings.

Or as they say on Facebook,
by being "a rigid, power-hungry bitch."

Then let's hope
no one here is going on maternity leave.

Sure, let's just lay that to rest too.

I obviously don't want
to change the maternity rules.

I apologize if that wasn't clear.

If you're dissatisfied,
angry, or confused going forward,

please let me know.
Let's keep an open in-house dialogue.

Thank you. Now, get back to work.

You have to go home!

Do I?! That's not your decision.

Stop it, Tanja. You're drunk.

Tanja?

What are you doing? Stop it, Tanja.

We have to do something
about the Internet.

It took 34 minutes
to download an Excel spreadsheet.

Great! We'll run
the Chinese presence in Greenland

with reactions domestically and abroad.

We should mention
the first 100 days of government.

The infallible Kragh
leading the perfect team

with Nyborg as the black sheep
and very close to a red card.

Someone else may get red-carded.
Look what Benjamin brought us.

I stopped by the Climate Minister
for an interview on electric car taxation.

I also asked about the oil in Greenland.

Nadia Barazani,
you're the Climate Minister

with an opinion
on the climate consequences of the oil.

Yes, and I'm not alone.

Leading environmental experts
warn against the project

based on the particular challenges
in the Arctic.

Arctic waters have low levels
of phosphorous and nitrogen,

which are paramount
for the sea to break down an oil spill.

That's one example of the many negative
effects of a large-scale oil project.

So are you going against
your own government?

I'm just passing on
what the experts are saying.

She's directly at odds
with official government policy.

And she's serious.

The New Democrat Youth Division indicated

that Nyborg may lose her leadership
due to her climate stance.

Great stuff, Benjamin.
Let's get that online.

Welcome to the ministerial meeting.
Let me start by saying that

Helle and I are very ambitious.

It's our first budget…

Hi. Sorry, I'm a bit late.

Did I see a cake in reception?
Are we celebrating the first 100 days?

Yes. Thanks, Birgitte.

I was about to say it,
but you beat me to it.

I'm so sorry.

Things have happened
that some of us need to discuss.

But as mentioned…

We're celebrating 100 days in power,
and we have much to be proud of.

We're playing for Denmark
with a strong team.

Where I'm from,
we celebrate with a cake man,

so that's what we're having today.

Exactly. Yes.

But there's a twist,
and I hope the men won't take offense.

I thought a cake woman
would be more appropriate.

So…

I know.

That looks delicious.

And it's a redhead.

- All very fancy.
- Lovely.

Move in closer.

And smile, please.

Did you know about Nadia's oil statement
before it suddenly

was picked up by the media?

I think her concern
is shared by a lot of others.

Birgitte, could I have a word please?

I know what you'll say,

but Nadia expressed reservations
held by several climate activists.

First of all, it looks like
a broad hint aimed at you from your party.

Second of all, it makes me
and the government look unprofessional.

The first thing is your problem,
but the second is one for me to react to.

You and I agreed
that we deal with our own ministers.

I'll speak to Barazani.

And we're polite in New Democrats.

Glad to hear it.

If you have a problem with me,
then speak to me!

Don't go through the fucking press!

I didn't say anything
you didn't say less than a month ago.

It's not about the climate!

You're giving Signe all of the advantage.

As Climate Minister,
the climate comes first.

And don't forget
who made you Climate Minister.

Remember that
the next time you speak to the media.

Have you abolished
freedom of speech in the party?

You'd prefer that to the PM
taking you to the Queen to resign.

Hi, Rasmus.

Is the Minister there? We need to talk.

She's in a meeting. Wait. Here she is.

Is the message good or bad?

- Not all good.
- Then wait.

That's my objective opinion
of her current mood.

You tell her.
I don't want to argue with her.

But bear in mind the time is rarely right.

The Russians didn't lose a plane.
So in diplomatic terms, whatever crashed…

- Is classified.
- Exactly.

What a zoo.

I can see all kinds of crap
going on between Jon and Nadia…

FROM: MICHAEL LAUGESEN
BARAZANI IS RIDICULING YOU

We're at the Mexican embassy
in ten minutes.

It's the reception for the ambassador.

Hey.

I knew that. It's your job to help me.

So three ministers are…

Yes?

Hello?

…believe that there should be
no mistaking in what we're doing.

Okay, you can't talk
with a civil servant next to you?

Correct.

- Let's meet in 15 minutes.
- Okay. Where?

Frederiksberg. I'll send you the address.

Right, we aren't going to the embassy.
We're going to Frederiksberg.

Got it.

Rasmus says to tell you that the Russians
did not lose an aircraft in Greenland.

The Danish Defense says
it's a bloody mess.

Come on in.

- Good morning.
- Asger.

Welcome to Nuuk.

- What a surprise.
- Yes.

And it shouldn't be, should it?

Weren't we negotiating
at the drilling site?

Yes, but I had to get back
to my department.

Okay.

But you must've forgotten to let me know.

Just like you forgot to forward
the correspondence between your department

and the Chinese,
which I asked for repeatedly.

I didn't forget.
The correspondence is confidential.

And I know why you want it.

Hans, we're on the same side, you and I.

- She's here.
- Thanks.

Hans, your daughter…

Is she okay?

What do you mean?

I saw her on the street this morning.

- She didn't look well.
- She's grieving for her brother.

But we're looking after her.

Rebellion within the rank is dangerous
and must be quashed.

I don't want you checking their trash,
targeting their kids,

or any of the things you did to me.

That was then. We have new options now.

We'll disprove Barazani's experts
with much more powerful scientists.

- But they'll agree with her.
- Trust me, Birgitte.

I can drum up facts and statistics

proving that there are no climate
consequences from the oil in Greenland.

Sure, but that's pseudo-science.

I'll never endorse that.

You don't have to,
as it won't come from you.

Hang on.

FROM MAGNUS NYBORG - CALM DOWN, MOM.
LET'S GRAB A COFFEE?

Give me some specifics.

And I get pre-approval on everything.

Is this too foreign for you?

Don't tell me that every single chair
in here is not carefully chosen.

This place is as much part of a brand

as the leftists who claim
to have the only correct values.

What are your values when you hire
Michael Laugesen as your spin doctor?

Hiring him has nothing to do with values.

The choice was simple.

Say some bikers are after you.
You can choose a good negotiator

or someone who fights dirty.
Who would you choose?

Do you recall what he did to us?

To Laura?

Yes, and because he was
my opponent for all those years,

I know what he's capable of.

Magnus, I need someone
who fights differently from me.

With ideas I wouldn't like to have.

Can't you hear yourself?

You can't control him
once he gets started.

Seriously…

Is work really that important to you?

You've already been the PM.

And you resigned.

And survived.

You know what? You…

You moved on.

But back then, I had you guys.

Great. See you later.

- Hi, Katrine.
- Hi, Frederik.

Did you want to talk to me?

- Me?
- Yes.

No, not at all.

Nope. I just came to…

gauge the atmosphere after Narciza left.

Okay.

- All's well.
- We could take a meeting if you want to.

- We could. Do you need to talk?
- No, I don't, but…

I'm available if you need me.

- Okay.
- Let's talk later.

Katrine?

We need to look at the applications
for the political editor position.

- Sure.
- Yes.

Does sacking Narciza mean that
we're looking for a younger woman?

No, of course not.

- Do you have a second?
- Of course.

I'd really like to be the new anchor.

- Replacing Narciza.
- Okay.

You might be a bit too young.

I don't think you're a good fit yet.

But… Maybe in a few years…

- Sure.
- Katrine?

I'll wait a few years. Thanks.

- And duly noted.
- Katrine?

- Yes?
- Take a look.

I wanted you to see this.

VIEWERS MISS NARCIZA
TV1 BOSS: "SHE WAS AMAZING"

- Thank you.
- No problem.

- See you tomorrow.
- Sure.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Thanks for meeting me.

- I wanted to discuss a few things.
- Of course.

I'm fogging up.

You look nice.

My husband is on his way.

We're going out for dinner.

- Hans is being problematic for us.
- "Us"?

I asked repeatedly for
the China correspondence.

- He's refusing to hand it over.
- Well, he's not obliged to.

No, but superpowers are in play now,
so Hans should soon realize

that the problems between
Denmark and Greenland are minor.

Your Premier agrees, by the way.

I was wondering if you could
get him to hand over the correspondence

so we can move on?

And you're asking me

because we've been intimate?

- Hi.
- Hi.

You look great.

- Thanks.
- Hi, Asger.

- Good to see you.
- Likewise.

I haven't taken my wife out in ages.
She's with you all the time.

Yes, I'm sorry.

I'll be going back to Copenhagen soon.
Then you'll be rid of me.

- Take care.
- You too.

Hi, Asger.

I just saw the Mother of the Sea statue,
the most famous of the Greenlandic myths.

She's sort of hidden
at the edge of the water.

But the Hans Egede statue,
which I'm looking at right now,

is big and strong
and has a view of everything.

He's controversial as he used threats
and violence to convert the Greenlanders.

But did you know
that he learned Greenlandic?

- What's your point?
- That he was full of contrasts.

He was a brutal colonial ruler,

but by learning the language
he also ended up

strengthening the Greenlandic identity.

If you open with
a speech about Hans Egede,

I'm guessing negotiations didn't go well.

No. Eliassen's refusing
to hand over the correspondence.

But I have an idea for a new strategy.

Interesting.

Eliassen is worried
we'll shut down the project

because the US is worried
about China's involvement.

It's still this government's intention
to exploit the oil. I promise.

Earlier today, the Finance Minister

was looking forward
to the money rolling in.

Exactly. We can't renege on our agreement.

It would be taking sides
in the US trade war with China.

Take two.

The business world will go nuts.

How might it affect the turbine park

to be built offshore in Shanghai?
This is the big leagues.

Asger, what's your point?

Right… That's what I mean.

That's our dilemma.

So I'm thinking that
our new strategy should be…

Maybe you should take a seat.

Our strategy should be
to get the US to accept

China's presence in Greenland.

To a limited extent.

And how would we do that?

The Chinese need to show

that they're honest
and have no hidden agenda.

And we need to get the Americans
to stop being suspicious of China.

- It'll be a meeting of opposites.
- Yes, exactly.

That's why I chose to call you
right beside Hans Egede.

I don't use violence.
I just yell a little.

I'll get Stranton.

It's clear
that the criticism is getting louder

from the global community
of the Danish government

and not least
Foreign Minister Birgitte Nyborg

because of the Chinese stakeholders

drilling for oil in Greenland.

- Good morning.
- Hi.

- Rasmus has an update in the Global Room.
- The US ambassador in 30 minutes.

- I'll bring you an espresso.
- Thanks.

At 4:38 a.m. this morning,

a US satellite observed something unusual
off the coast in northeast Greenland.

It looked like a Russian Typhoon submarine

surfaced briefly
in Danish territorial waters.

Didn't you say… Thanks.

…that the Russians were on maneuvers?

Yes, but only in international waters.

We know there are Russian
and American submarines up there

and that they sometimes
"accidentally" enter Danish waters.

But this one surfaced,
which is apparently quite rare.

What were they doing?

The submarine was very close to the spot
where the unidentified object crashed.

Maybe they had a look. We don't know.

Submarines are all about
stealth and not being seen.

I know what to tell Stranton.

Where is the Sirius Patrol?

The Sirius Patrol is right there,
20-25 kilometers from the crash site.

I presume
the Ministry of Defense is briefing us.

Yes, but my clear impression is

that the information
is filtered by the PM's Office.

This could be Kragh's excuse
to take over the matter.

It's the Danish Realm.
She has every right to.

Who informs the Ministry of Defense
and the PM's Office?

The Sirius Patrol
is under Arctic Command in Nuuk.

We do have an ambassador in Nuuk.

Shouldn't he pay a visit
to Arctic Command and keep us posted?

ARCTIC COMMAND

FROM MAGNUS NYBORG. MIGHT COME HOME
AND CRASH FOR A FEW DAYS. COOL?

TO: MAGNUS NYBORG. ANY TIME, SWEETIE!

YOU CAN TAKE MY BEDROOM.

- The control room is this way.
- Yes.

Okay. Right. Let me take a look.

Just a minute.

Yes…

Excuse me?

Yes?

- Anders Damsgaard, right?
- Yes.

Can I call you back? In two seconds.

We met at the funeral of Malik Johansen.

- Do you remember me?
- Yes.

Were you a close friend?
You seemed very upset.

He was a good colleague.

That was years ago, right?

That's what he said.

Yes, but it's still awful.

Yes.

Suicide is tragically common up here.

Unfortunately.

His sister doesn't think it was suicide.

How come you do?

What do you mean?

What are you asking?

Who do you work for?

The Navy.

And who do you work
for other than the Navy?

Do you work for PET?

- I have to make that call.
- Sure you do. Okay.

Thanks.

Are you from the Foreign Ministry?

Yes. Hi.

Asger Holm Kirkegaard, Arctic ambassador.

Rikke Østby.

We usually communicate
with the Ministry of Defense.

We're not used to having
the Foreign Ministry here.

Look at the screen in the middle.

Sled Team 5 is approximately
15 kilometers from the crash site.

We haven't spotted the submarine again,
but the Americans will be all over that.

And we still don't know

why the Russian submarine
was so close to the shore.

Maybe they had a technical issue.
They don't surface often, but it happens.

We asked Sled Team 5 to hurry.

And both the Americans and
the Ministry of Defense are fully briefed.

How about the Greenlandic government?

Who's informing them?

I don't know.

Hi, Birgitte. Asger here. I have an idea.

Hello, Birgitte Nyborg.

Hi, Hans.

I hope Asger apologized for me
for our meeting in Copenhagen.

Thank you. He did.

The conversation took a wrong turn.
It was my fault.

We'll get it back on track.

It'll take a little while.

Perhaps this could be
a step in the right direction?

Right now,

the Sirius Patrol is on a covert mission
in the northeast of Greenland.

Greenland isn't represented
in the control room.

You're rarely invited
to anything to do with the military.

Please consider this
an informal invitation.

Are we backdoor dealing?

I'll send a government
representative over there.

Yes?

Stranton's here.

So? Where are they now?

They've covered six kilometers
in the last hour. They've really sped up.

Is that all?
I can run that far in half an hour.

Try running in hilly terrain with 12 dogs
and a sled weighing 350 kilos.

Hi. Emmy Rasmussen. I'm from
the Premier of Greenland's Office.

Asger.

Naalakkersuisut doesn't usually…

No, but we were invited
by the Foreign Ministry.

Yes. That's us. We… It's correct.

What's the situation?

If you look at the middle screen,
the object is approximately there.

We presume that Sled Team 5
will reach it in one to two hours.

Østby, I have Sled Team 5 on the line.

Thanks.

Sled Team 5, Østby calling.

And there you are.

- Are you okay?
- Yes.

- Can you speed up?
- Negative.

You're not making it any easier.

This has nothing to do with negotiations,
so why are you here?

Last time we spoke, you were quite clear.
You and I are over.

It's a dead end. We can't get any closer.

You have to pass the mountain.
Leave the dogs. Continue on foot.

Roger.

We only have food for one more day for us.

And for the dogs.

Yes, I know.

According to the GPS,
it's on the other side of the mountain.

AC wants us to hurry up

and take a shortcut across
the mountain without the dogs.

But they're our only lifeline.

I know that.

It's an order.

Okay. I'll find the chain.

You need to see this. Come on.

Okay. Benjamin.

- Get a comment from the PM.
- Sure.

Gitte, take a team
to the Foreign Ministry.

Kragh has to approve
any of their statements first.

To you, Kragh is really Darth Vader, huh?

Things are taking a sick turn.

I'm working on a theme for this Sunday.
"The Powers that Be."

We need to look at how the PM
micromanages all of her ministers.

I'll look forward to it.

Torben, do you have time
to talk to the Defense Minister?

That's a no.

Let's leave Torben alone
to focus on his theme.

He doesn't need
to deal with the Americans.

If that's okay with you?

Sure, but we need to send somebody else.

- I need to go there anyway. I'll do it.
- Great. Thanks.

…this morning,
when a US satellite uncovered

a Russian Typhoon submarine
off the coast of Greenland…

What the hell? Did the Americans leak it?

Yes. I don't control Washington.

They're toying with us.

- He's here.
- Thanks.

- Be careful. The Minister is coming.
- Okay.

- Go with him.
- I will.

No telecommunications.
Look out for rare earth materials.

I'm pleased we understand one another.

I didn't know that
the Ambassador spoke Danish.

As a diplomat, it's an advantage to know

what's being said.

China might consent
to your proposal if it was…

possible for us to expand the harbor
where the oil will be shipped from

so that it could accommodate
our other vessels.

The ice is melting.

The new Silk Road is via the Arctic.

However, to accept the proposal,
it is paramount for us

that we reach an agreement
as soon as possible.

Door.

The Chinese ambassador speaks Danish.

What did he hear?

I did mention telecommunications,
but that isn't news to them.

And rare earth materials.

There's all sorts of stuff
the US doesn't want China to get.

We have to offer something

if we force such
a strict oil agreement on them.

The ambassador emphasized
that it was urgent.

Why the urgency?

Perhaps they're eyeing
a chance to enter an agreement

before it's too big a problem for the US.

It feels as if
the harbor means more to them

than the stake in the oil company.

When the ice has melted, the route
from China to Europe is 40% shorter.

- Exactly.
- Yes.

The US doesn't want China
to have a larger harbor.

How about something like,

"The US has always wanted
a harbor in the northeast"?

Yes.

What if we let them have it

if China may then expand
the harbor they're building?

A harbor for a harbor.

I think I can negotiate that. Thanks.

Did you hire him?

You did a good job.

You can't betray me like that
in the media about sacking Narciza.

It looks as if you don't support me,
and I look like an idiot.

They misquoted me, Katrine.

I didn't know that was their angle.

Shall we leave it at that?

I did want to talk to you
about something else.

I heard that you want to do a story
on the PM and her administration of power?

We're working on a feature.

Let's just ask ourselves
if the time is right to run that story.

- Do you know something I don't know?
- Not at all. No.

You're the expert. I'm the generalist.

Well, we both know that the PM
takes criticism rather personally

and doesn't tend to forget.

But if you think the story's important,
I'd listen and consider it.

What do you mean?

I'm negotiating our media agreement
with the government about grants.

So they'll sanction us financially
if we run the story?

No, not at all.

- That would be absurd.
- Frederik, Christ!

This whole conversation proves
that democracy is challenged

if we start censoring ourselves in advance

because we fear the consequences
of a story about the PM.

If you were a conspiracy theorist,
you'd be right.

Seriously…

But that's unnecessary in Denmark.

Perhaps you just don't have a story.
Have you thought about that?

Excuse me.

Heegaard.

So? Are we on a roll?

On a roll?

Sure.

I thought about this story about the PM.

What's it really about?

Is it because it's harder
to talk to the ministers?

Was it easier in the old days?

Because it might sound
as if we're the victims.

No one ever takes pity on journalists.

I see.

That's funny.
I hear a ventriloquist's dummy.

And the boss has his hand
up your ass, right?

Was it a direct order? No, it wasn't.

They're negotiating
the media agreement and have said…

there'll be cutbacks and layoffs.
That may affect the news department.

Especially if we criticize the government.

We should ask ourselves
what's worse for journalism.

"What's worse for journalism?"
They trained you good, huh.

We'll drop one story, Torben?

Or should we lose
a lot of talented colleagues?

You once asked me
why I didn't want to be the boss.

Because of things like this.

And we're fucking playing ball

if we censure ourselves
for old time's sake.

Seriously…

The position of political editor…

Everybody thinks we need a young woman.
I'd prefer a middle-aged white man.

You just asked me to kill my story.

Is that my reward?
Who the fuck do you think I am?

Huh? Judas?

No way.

Nope.

You're the most qualified.

And I know you applied.

There isn't much snow here.

It should be down there.

There's someone there.

There.

Get down!

Arctic Command, this is Sled Team 5.

Sled Team 5, go ahead.

What's your status?

We left the dogs and sled

and are approximately
500 meters from the position.

There are people present.

I repeat. There are people present.

Who are they?

They look like military.

- White camouflage and armed.
- Does anything look familiar?

Not at this distance.

The weapons look automatic.

Should we approach?

Please note

that the terrain is open,
and they'd spot us.

Approach with caution.

Try to identify them.

Roger.

Get Møldrup.

Now what?

We have to approach.

Who do we think it might be?

The Russians often have
special forces onboard.

They could be
from the submarine this morning.

We don't want to meet them?

I have two men with guns
and a rusty shotgun for polar bears

against Russian special forces.

They won't shoot at each other, right?

- Hi, Per.
- Hi.

The Foreign Ministry and Naalakkersuisut.

- Hi.
- Hi.

He's the commanding officer today.

What do you see?

It looks like they found some tools
and are tinkering with something.

They've spotted us.

Sled Team 5.
They spotted us. I see a weapon.

It might be an AK-74.

So they may be Russian.

This is Møldrup.
Do you recognize the uniforms?

Negative, it's white camouflage.

What do we do?

Are they aiming at you?

Negative.

Then continue.

And challenge them when you're closer.

Roger.

Now what?

We approach.

And if they fire now,
is that an act of war?

Yes.

FROM: ASGER KIRKEGAARD

THE SIRIUS PATROL MAY BE
FACING RUSSIAN SOLDIERS.

TO: ASGER KIRKEGAARD
KEEP ME POSTED!!

Fuck. This is nuts.

- Do we draw our weapons?
- Not yet.

Special Operations Command
has a team ready

at Air Transport Wing Aalborg
in two and a half hours.

We're briefing the Americans.

Sled Team 5.
Their weapons are at the ready.

- Are they aiming at you?
- Negative.

But they're fully cocked.

And they're dislodging something
that looks like a drone.

They need to get away from it.

Fire a warning shot.

Roger.

No, not the rifle.

We're dead if they retaliate.

Fucking hell!

- They're retreating.
- Well done, guys.

Secure the object.

Can you identify the uniforms now?

- Do you have a camera?
- Yes, we'll try to get pictures.

Those were some
of the most intense hours of my life.

A drone crashed.
We're working on identifying it.

Sirius faced what was
most likely soldiers from a foreign power.

We don't know for sure,
but we think it's the Russians.

American experts
are examining the drone now,

but I'm sure the Defense Minister
and PM know all about that.

The Foreign Minister
is certainly well-informed.

My Arctic ambassador
happened to be in Nuuk.

I deemed it imperative
that we had all the information.

I also briefed the Greenlandic government
to avoid yet another crisis with them.

Without briefing me?

I'm briefing you now.

And you'll all be pleased to hear

that we entered into
an agreement with the US accepting

limited Chinese presence in Greenland.

You've been busy today.

- Sorry.
- It's okay.

FROM: FREDERIK HEEGAARD - LOOK.
I THINK WE NEED HER BACK.

VIEWERS RAGE AGAINST TV1:
WE WANT NARCIZA BACK

I've been thinking.

I'd like the job as political editor.

I presume I'll be paid
my 30 pieces of silver.

Right.

Arctic ambassador
Asger Holm Kirkegaard. Good evening.

Hello, Asger Holm Kirkegaard.
Birgitte Nyborg.

A word of warning.
I may just propose to you.

Having you at Arctic Command today
was incredibly important.

The US accepted
China's presence in Greenland.

Really?

What did they want in return?

The port to the east,
which they've always wanted.

I think I know where they want it.

Per Møldrup of Arctic Command has heard
the Americans talk about it often.

Let me turn on the camera. Is that okay?

Good evening.

Good evening, Asger Holm Kirkegaard.
Have a look at where I am.

It's my safe room.

My stupid son took the bedroom,
and now I have to sleep on this hard bed.

A hard bed? That sounds awful.

Take a look. Let me turn the camera.

He heard them say they want
it in Crown Prince Christian Land

Birgitte? Are you there? I lost you.

Whose necklace is that?

Are you telling me that you've been…

So fucking unprofessional

and had sex with the Greenlandic
head of department?

I have to say I made a massive mistake.

And that I'm actually…

not able to participate
in negotiations with her.

- So I have to…
- No!

Don't you fucking dare!
You're coming home right now.

Get on the first plane
and meet me at the office tomorrow!

Birgitte…

YOU HAVE ONE NEW MESSAGE
NADIA BARAZANI

Hi, Birgitte. It's Nadia.

I've been thinking and…

It's hard for me to say,

but I can't live with feeling
like I'm betraying the climate policy

I helped create for our party, so…

with regret, I resign
as Climate and Energy Minister.

And I'm leaving the party.

As our leader, I wanted to tell you
before the press release tomorrow morning.
