"At the same time, Norway stops extracting oil and gas because of climate change." "OCCUPIED" "Here is the news." "The time is 8:30." "PST has apprehended three men suspected of terrorism ..." "Bye." "Don't forget the recycling." "Boo!" "Idiot." "Petter?" "Aren't you going to eat before you go?" " I'll eat on the way." " See you at 5." "I forgot to tell you that I can't help you." " You must." "We had an deal." " It's Mom's birthday." " You can't say that now!" " I'll help you tomorrow!" " No, you can't ..." " Petter!" "I'll stop by." "GOVERNMENT HEADQUARTERS" " The Chancellor of Germany is on the line." " As I said, no calls means no calls." "Yes, but we think you should take it." "Shall we go?" "Oscar 3-0 on the way." "The Swedish Prime Minister also called." "They're stressed out now." "We'll call them when we've heard reactions to the speech." "Are you on again tonight, too?" "I'm going to   race you up on Tryvannskleiva today." "We're not allowed to be in front." "You aren't allowed to be too far behind either, eh?" " Good luck in court today." " Yeah, thank you." "My new outfit ;-)" "THORIUM POWER PLANT" "Thomas Eriksen." "Ny Tid." " Why am I not on the list?" " I don't know." "Maybe it was a mistake?" " Sorry, I can't do anything about that now." " Talk to Jesper Berg, then." "I'm sure he wants me there." "We've been a mouthpiece for you and followed you through the whole campaign   wrote about the Thorium project." "We've done so much for you." ""Almost 200 years ago, about where we're standing now   the priest Esmark finds a little rock."" "Excuse me." " Sorry, that's reserved for Helle Winther." " I know that, but ..." "Helle said: "Thomas, please take my place."" "Almost 200 years ago, not far from where we're sitting today   the priest Morten Esmark found a tiny rock." "It contained a mineral that he chose to call 'thorite'." "This led us to the element Thorium." "That a priest made such an important scientific discovery   is a shining example that the world changes   when we think outside of our usual framework." "Thorium." "From the god Thor." "The power of Thor's hammer." "It is that power that can save us from the worst crisis   humanity has ever faced." "Therefore, the opening of Norway's first thorium plant   isn't just a great day for Norwegian energy policy." "It is a great day for Europe." "It is a great day for the world!" "In difficult times, it is tempting to look back   to oil and gas production, which have brought parts of our civilization   prosperity that no one could have hoped for." "But fossil fuels can no longer give us hope." "For fossil fuels themselves are the cause of the climate crisis." "The time of fossil fuels is past." "For Norway that means that the oil age is over." "Crises are solved when we change our thinking." "By being first, we will give Norway a new golden age." "And we will give the world the technology   that can give new hope to new generations." "And that is a hope they deserve." "That is a hope we owe them." "The time of fossil fuels is over." "For Norway that means that the oil age is over." "Bente!" "Everyone's here!" "... disappointed with Jesper Berg's statements." "Most thought that he would succumb to international pressure." "The question is how long people will have patience while we wait ..." "Hi, shall we have a little meeting?" "You know that we're struggling." "It's bad." "I know that we have the best restaurant." "But if we're going to keep going, I can't afford payroll next month." "If you stay for another month, I promise   that you'll get your wages with ten percent interest." " I'm in." " Thanks, Line." "I understand those of you who don't want to or can't do this." "But I hope as many of you as possible can stay." "I really think we can do it." " Bjørn?" " Sorry, but I have to move on." " I need the money." " I understand that." "Marie?" " I've already gotten a new job." " You've already gotten a job?" "You got that?" "Can I help you with something?" "Yeah, with finding the Prime Minister." "I think he wants to speak to me." "Berg?" "A comment?" "What kind of economic sanctions do you anticipate from the EU?" " No comment, Thomas." " I expect applause." "So you confirm that the EU has threatened with sanctions?" "Your readers and EU leaders know that climate problems are without borders." "I assume that they'll listen to their opinions." " I'll take that as a confirmation." " Just quote me correctly." "Call the chancellor and say that we'll speak when I've landed." "Yeah, I tried." "Oscar 3-0 has been kidnapped!" "I repeat:" "Oscar 3-0 has been kidnapped in the helicopter!" "At least four masked men with weapons!" " Djupvik!" " What the hell is going on?" " Not now!" " Who the hell was that in the helicopter?" "Djupvik, answer!" "Djupvik!" "Give us a report on the situation!" "The helicopter is flying northeast." "I'll follow while I have a visual." "Send backup." " Okay." "Keep me updated." " Understood." "Editor Ottesen with Ny Tid." "Leave a message." "Dag, Thomas here." "Call me back." "Something big has happened." "I'll be there shortly." "Call me." "Djupvik, do you have a visual?" "Do you see the helicopter?" "Djupvik?" "Come in." "Do you see the helicopter?" "No." "Wait a sec." " Flying southwest." " Abort, Djupvik." "Cut them free." "I have them on the tracker, let me try a little longer!" "No, abort!" "Djupvik, can you confirm?" "Djupvik!" "Backup is on the way." "Leadership wants to be briefed." "Djupvik?" " Understood." " See you in 20 minutes." "Do you need pain killers?" "Have you noticed any nausea?" "Headaches or visual disturbances?" "Good." "I'm going to put you on sick leave for two weeks anyway." "You have high blood pressure." "It's important that it goes down." "It's important that you don't stress out and that the situation doesn't worsen." "One copy for you, and one for your employer." "No, I was just in a meeting." "See you at headquarters." "Fuck!" "Yes, we're still waiting to make contact with the body guard." " We're on the way in, the PST Director ..." " Let me." "Arnesen here." "I need to talk to the body guard   who was closest to the perpetrators." "Defense Secretary." "The Foreign Minister is already here." " We're waiting for Justice Minister Friis." " Go ahead." "Are you ready, Arnesen?" "Djupvik!" "Wenche Arnesen wants you to report directly to the crisis meeting." " Do you hear?" " Yes, I'm ready." "The Justice Minister has arrived, so we can begin the meeting." "Arnesen." "Go ahead." "We don't know, at this time, where the helicopter is." "No one has taken responsibility for the kidnapping." "So we don't know the motive behind it, either." "Do we know anything about the perpetrators?" "We know that this action must have been carefully planned." " Everything suggests that." " Nationality?" "Language?" "You're going to hear from the body guard who was at the scene." "Djupvik?" " Djupvik speaking." " You're speaking to the government." "Can you give us a description of the perpetrators?" "I see the helicopter." "I'm hanging up." "What's happening?" "Djupvik?" "Don't hang up." "Djupvik!" "Report!" "That is an order." "If you hear me, speak to us." "Djupvik, did something happen?" "Jesper!" "Down!" " Are you alone?" " Yes." " Are you hurt?" " No." "I'm going to do a little check." "You're safe now." "Just ... give me a few seconds." "I repeat, this is the government ..." " I lost contact with him." " Find out what's happening." "I'm sorry." "I should have stopped them." "No." "It was good that you didn't ..." " I should have come between." " No." "Then someone would have been shot." "We can't stop this anyway." "No lives should be lost." "I need to report back." "We need to get to the city as quickly as possible." "Oscar 3-0 has been found in good condition." "We've gotten reports of a hostage situation on the Frøy platform   which has been taken over by an armed group." " Do we know who they are?" " It's likely that this has   to do with the Prime Minister's kidnapping." "Such a violation could be a prelude to something bigger." "What kind of group could be responsible for such an attack?" " Is it a country?" " It doesn't need to be that." "We know that there are other actors who could be behind this kind of attack." "I strongly recommend that we initiate security measures." "We've readied two Orion planes." "I'm asking permission to send them up." "Defense is well-trained to handle these kinds of situations." "The Prime Minister isn't here, but we must not appear to be paralyzed." "I think we should listen to this." "Oscar 3-0, the Prime Minister has been found in good condition." "We're awfully glad to hear that, Jesper." "Don't carry out anything." "Wait for my briefing." "Gas Installation Frøy has been occupied." "It's a precarious situation." "We should get the planes in the air ..." "No, definitely not." "These are the Russians." "I've just sat ..." "What do you mean by that, Jesper?" " Are you talking about Russia as a country?" " Yes." "Regardless, we will not engage in a military response." "We must not escalate the situation." "That could be fatal, do you understand?" " Is that understood?" " Yes, it's understood." "Why don't you pick up the phone?" "Did you get the message?" " The battery was dead." " The Prime Minister was kidnapped." "You're kidding." "No." "I went around back where the helicopter takes off." "He was snatched into the helicopter." "I was the only journalist." "Jesper, where are you now?" "When can you be here?" " 30 minutes." " Good." "Then we'll wait for you." "Sorry, but we have clear instructions for handling such terrorist situations." "The Prime Minister has no decision-making powers   when he isn't here." "We have no guarantee that a Russian isn't pointing a gun   to his temple and dictating what he says." " That seems highly unlikely." "No one is holding a gun to my head!" "This is extremely important!" "I was just in a meeting with the Russians and the EU" "If everyone cooperates, this won't become an armed conflict." "And the Russians will leave." "So what is the decision?" "We follow the procedures until the Prime Minister is here." " Hanne?" " Yes, Jesper." "We follow you." " We follow the Prime Minister." " This is my area." "If the Prime Minister is prevented from doing his duty, the Foreign Minister ..." " Not when we're under attack!" " They are one of the world's strongest military powers." "Two gas fields and one oil platform have been taken over." "Sorry, Berg, but we don't know who's listening in on your end." "Hello?" "Did we lose you?" " Unfortunately." " Drive as fast as you can." "No one is confirming the kidnapping." "They don't know how they're going to handle the situation." "You're 100% sure that you saw that?" "I see that it's a helicopter, yes." "Is it possible that you could have misunderstood the situation?" "The Prime Minister was kidnapped." "I got a report saying that the Prime Minister was seen   on the way into the government building." "Hi." "Good to see you." " Hi." "What's the situation?" "Planes in the air?" " Yes." "Ah." "Join me in there." " Lighter drugs?" " Yes." "No one moved the bags?" "Did they open them?" "Not that I saw." "No one opened them." "They lay in front of the table." "They were lying in front?" "Clearly visible?" "Do the lay judges have any more questions?" "No." "Then we'll take a 15 minute break." " Hi." " Where are you now?" " I'm at work." " Can you pick up Andrea?" "You're supposed to pick up Andrea today." "Do it, please." "Then drive to your mother's." " Why?" "Did something happen to Andrea?" " No, no, no." "I'll explain everything later." "It's my first day, so I can't just go." "Can't you just tell me what it is?" " I can't say it over the phone." " Why can't you?" "Just ..." "It's not safe downtown." "I don't understand what you mean." " There could be war." " What do you mean, war?" "How?" "Hilde ..." "I need to go back." "You have to pick up Andrea yourself." "We can take this installation back quickly." "That is a scenario   we've rehearsed many, many times." " And how will that help?" "That's how the Russians work." "We must get respect as a foundation for further negotiation." " We're past negotiations." " I understand that it was a scary experience   but that's the game Russians play!" " It's not a game!" " What if Bent is right?" " It's not a game!" " Before we know what they want ..." " It's not the Russians who want something!" "AN HOUR EARLIER" " Jesper." " Mari?" "I'm sorry, but we've tried to warn you for a long time." "Are you in on this?" "We all have a responsibility." "The Norwegian People will understand   that we must act in solidarity with the Europeans." "You don't understand what's going on here." "Look, they have weapons." "They must be ordered to fly me back safely!" " We have a visitor." " Seven o'clock." " Get ready." " Ready in about 40 seconds." " What do we do with the visitor?" " We must go." "The planes are in position." "The hunters are ready." "How long can we last against Russia?" " Until we get help." " We're not getting help!" "That's my point." "The USA isn't going to lift a finger!" "That's why they got out of NATO!" "We're totally alone." "I'm proud of how we as a government have kept it together   against all the pressure from the oil industry and abroad." "Threats of embargoes." "We've kept it together." "Now we're faced with a decision." "If we're willing to sacrifice thousands of lives to no avail." "I can't help but turn aside." "The Russian Ambassador is here." "Yeah." "You can ask the Russian Ambassador to wait." "We're a democratically elected government." "We're in a meeting." " Djupvik?" "Are you okay?" " Yes." "You better have a good reason for hanging up in such a situation." " The Prime Minister asked me to do it." " Okay." " You just found him in the road?" " Yes, on a forest road." " I think they wanted me to find him." " How is that?" "I assume they knew he had the tracker on him." "I saw the helicopter several times." "They knew where I was." " Did Berg talk about this in the car?" " No." " How was Berg when you met him?" " Unharmed, but in shock." "The kidnapping should not be pursued." "It didn't happen." "You have the rest of the day off." "Thomas Eriksen, Ny Tid." "Leave a message." "Thomas, hi, it's me." "You need to come." "I need help." "Bye." "A journalist from Ny Tid." "He saw what happened." " He saw that?" " He doesn't give up." " Eriksen." " Are you okay?" " Yeah." " I saw you disappear in a helicopter." "I'm sure it seemed dramatic, but it was an exercise." " No, that was no exercise." " Anything else will be denied." "I'm going to write about it anyway." "I have photos." "You have photos of an exercise." " I encourage you to let it go." " Why would I do that?" "So that you'll get an exclusive interview with me." "About the new situation that I'm going to tell the country about." "PST HEADQUARTERS" "ASSESSMENT / SICK LEAVE BENIGN BRAIN TUMOR" " What a crazy day I've had ..." " Just go wash the dishes." "Where are your people?" "Can you turn up the volume?" "Is this decision due to international pressure?" "We received unexpectedly powerful reactions   when we announced the end of the Norwegian oil age earlier." "But the Norwegian government does not wish to force the EU's political leadership   to innovate." "We wish for dialogue and cooperation   to solve the climate crisis." "With this we give the EU more time to make the necessary reorganization." "Are you straying from the politics you stand for?" "The most important thing for us is to continue development and production   of clean energy ..." "Thomas." "What are you doing?" "Turn it down." "... the unidirectional economy that was the oil age." "Therefore, we have agreed today   to Russian assistance in the reopening of the Norwegian continental shelf." "This will feel strange to many, and in parts of the country   there will be a higher Russian presence." "The only real change for Norwegians   will be a little upswing in the economy." "Thank you." "Get ready for credits." "Roll credits." "Lovely." "Was it good?" "You." "Hi!" " Hi." " Doing okay?" "Yeah." " Did you hear the news?" " Yeah, I heard it on the way." "But I don't remember them saying anything about a war." " No." " No." "You always think the worst." "Sometimes it's okay."
