"The time for fossil fuels is over." "For Norway that means that the oil age is over." " I should have come between." " No." "We can't stop this anyway." "Now we're facing a decision." "Are we willing to sacrifice   thousands of lives to no avail?" "You know we're struggling." "It's bad." " I encourage you to let it go." " Why would I do that?" "So that you'll get an exclusive interview with me." "So you're printing it on the 16th of May?" "In connection with the May 17th holiday?" "Yeah." "I thought we'd begin with the occupation ..." "It would be a big mistake to use words like "occupation" or "occupiers"." "It's been a few weeks, and I can say with certainty that this   is only energy politics." "It's about getting oil and gas down to Europe." "It's not just about that." "You've agreed to renegotiate guidelines." "Thomas." "In 10-15 years, when the Russians have developed   new fields up there, we'll supply Europe   with much cheaper and cleaner energy from thorium." "Regardless, you must agree that we're being forced   into politics that are against what you stand for." "Yeah." "I can't pursue politics   that go against what we value." "No, but you realize people will wonder why you took three weeks to figure that out?" "Yeah, I can understand that." "But now it's very important that things happen in the right order." "What is the right order?" "That the Russians leave when the summer is over." "When the oil and gas exports are up to levels we had a year ago." "When the Russians are out ..." "Then, I'll consider myself to be Prime Minister." " You don't consider yourself that now?" " No." "This is your life's work." "Your vision!" "Finally you get people to open their eyes   and then lie down for Russia and the EU?" "There is a fundamental difference between being in an environmental party   and creating dreams of a cleaner future   and steering a country through a crisis situation." "You can turn that on, because this is very important." "So you admit there is an occupation?" "No." "An occupation entails a taking over of the government." "That one takes over the military, that one takes over law enforcement." "That one deprives Norwegian citizens of their civil rights." "That is miles from the situation we're in!" "I'll remain Prime Minister so that Norwegians   won't doubt what is really going on here." "Why should anyone believe you when you've abandoned your principles?" "You're a grown man, Thomas." "We are certainly not students." "I have responsibility for this country." "I have responsibility   for the people who live in this country." "Those are my principles now." "You need to grow up now." "Be a journalist." "OCCUPIED" "MAY" "Did you have a nightmare last night?" "What did you dream about?" "That someone had been shot." "Come, I need to show you something." "Just step out here a bit." " It's the 17th of May!" " Maybe you can eat a million ice creams." " At least." " Yeah!" " Costume?" " Yeah." "I think it's right this year." " I have to go." " Already?" "I bought breakfast." "Good bread and bacon and roast beef." "I need to go through a briefing." "It's going to be a complicated day." " Why didn't they print the portrait?" " They just said they would wait." "Sidorova's secretary says that they wish to be part of the ceremony." "They say that it's a good chance for the Russians to show respect for Norway." "No, no." "Not a good idea." " It could be provoking." " She's already on the way." "Do you know what we're waiting on?" "The Prime Minister is wondering what we're waiting on." "The Commander refuses to come out." " Where is he?" " In there." "What's going on?" "There's an agreement about the ceremony." "No, I never said I agree with this." "Is that right?" "This was cleared with the military leadership." "Yes, but I can't receive a medal for not doing anything." "Medals are awarded for showing courage in dangerous conditions." "Yeah, conditions in which one prevents loss of life, and so ..." "This is Defense!" "We defend ourselves!" "The best defense here was to proceed with caution." "I understand and respect you." "But we're starting the ceremony now." "We all have a tight schedule today." "You understand that you must receive the medal?" "If you don't come now, I'll have to order you out." "This is more important than your pride." "In a difficult situation for the country " " His Majesty the King's guard showed   great prudence, and masterful judgment   which greatly contributed to ensuring peace." "They chose diplomacy and cooperation." "That is why it is a great honor for me to present   the Defense Medal for noble deeds   to Commander Lieutenant Colonel Harald Vold." "Weapon!" "Shots fired!" "Lie still!" "Lie still!" "Away!" "Move away!" "Sorry." "It's closed." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hi, where are you?" "Where does it sound like?" "I think we have to skip the barbecue stuff at Dag's." "There's someone who wants to rent the whole restaurant." " You don't have people." " They're seven, so I'm cooking." "So can you help me after the parade?" "I can't today, Bente." "We can't cancel the 17th of May for the kids." "Petter's going to a party." "Maja hasn't done anything for weeks." "Thomas, we don't have money, and my job doesn't exist anymore." "We'll sell the car!" "Thomas, I have 400,000 in unpaid bills and no income." "Okay." "Maja!" "Maja." "Djupvik." "Follow the guard to the police and give a statement." "Take the weapon." "I'd like to follow the interrogation." "Christensen is young ..." " You'll need to speak with the police." " Of course." " Can you show me where he is?" " Don't you have him?" "No, the military police." "We had to get the Prime Minister to safety." " Where is the guard?" " He was picked up." "Two Russian bodyguards brought him to the city." "We thought it was agreed." " No, I don't want to." " But you will." "That's how it is." "You promised that I could go to the party!" "So I have to wash dishes instead?" "I don't want to wash dishes either!" "But family helps one another." "I'm not part of Bente's family." "Yes, you are." "That is the restaurant that pays for us." " And we live at her place." " I didn't choose to live with her." "Come here." "Okay." "Shall we go on strike?" "Get a strike ice cream?" "Hi, are you coming soon?" "Where are we going?" " No!" " Let's go." "Maybe you could just go in?" "Okay?" "See you." "Breaking News:" "Guard shoots at Russian Ambassador." "I have difficulty understanding what they were doing here." "There's bad communication between us and the Russian bodyguards." "What does that have to do with oil politics?" "I'll call and check." " Doing okay?" " Yeah." "You should have seen the bodyguard." "He was quick." "That was Sigurd who called." "They're not coming." "Now over half have canceled." "I think there are many who think that it's unnatural to come here today   and shout "hurra" after all that's happened." "Do you think we should cancel?" "Do you realize what kind of signal that sends?" " Has anyone arrived?" " Maybe we need to send a signal   that we don't think this is that OK?" "No." "On the contrary." "The most important thing we can do now is to show that we are facing this." "Is it?" "Is that the most important thing?" "I don't know how long I can take this." "It's shit." "It's total shit, but we're going to take this for a few months   and then we go." " I want to go now." "I want to go now." "You can't go now because you aren't allowed to fly." "Before this one comes." "Hey." "You know that it's May 17th?" " Happy Birthday." " Thanks." "Likewise." "Do you see who that is?" " Assault on a guard?" " The one who raised a weapon to Sidorova." "The Russians have him." "You're thinking of using this headline?" "Mm." "[The Prime Minister is lying]" "A personal attack on the Prime Minister." "So you admit that there's an occupation?" "No." "An occupation entails a taking over of the government." "That one takes over the military and law enforcement." "That one deprives Norwegian citizens of their civil rights." "That is miles from the situation we're in!" "I must give them a chance to comment." "Yeah." "They weren't happy when we didn't print the portrait interview." "This kind of thing isn't going to make them celebrate either." "Friends." "Party Colleagues." "Welcome." "Last year was the first time we held the May 17th lunch   here in the Prime Minister's residence." "We were many, and the mood was fantastic." "Even when I sang at the top of my lungs, no one left." "It was difficult to get people to leave." "This year it's been difficult to get people to come." "That's not surprising." "I also know that many of you who are here   have had problems with my decision to sit still   until the Russians go." "For me it was a simple decision." "Because the alternative would have been catastrophic." "We sit still to protect   all the people who live in this country." "We sit still to retain our sovereignty." "We chose to cooperate in an extreme international situation." "And not one life has been lost." "That's something to be proud of." "So it's with a straight back that I lift my glass this year also   and say "skål" for our national day." "I need to find the Prime Minister before I can comment." " Okay." "Can I call him directly?" " No, that would be difficult right now." " It's May 17th today, after all." " How much time do you need?" " Two hours." "Thanks." "Bye." " PST." " Arnesen here." " Hi, this is Anita Rygg   political advisor for the Prime Minister." "Hi." "What's the status with the guard?" "The Russians refuse to let him go before he's made a statement." "At the same time, the guard refuses to speak to anyone but Norwegian police." " Do we have our people in there now?" " We've tried, but the Russians refuse." "Yeah, yeah." "Him." "The one who just saved Sidorova's life." "Djupvik." "He'll get in." "He's a bodyguard." "He hasn't been trained in interrogation." "That doesn't matter." "He's a policeman." "The point is to get the guard to talk so that they let him go." "They'll check you for listening devices." "Probably strip-search you." "Djupvik." "Welcome." "No, there's no need." "We trust him." "Sorry." "Come with me." "Here is Stefan Christensen." "Go ahead." "How are you?" "Hurt?" "You tried to shoot Irina Sidorova May 17th at 08:30." "Right?" " You know that." " Better if you answer yourself." " Yeah, that's right." " Why did you do it?" " Because no one else was doing it." " Doing what?" "Stopping the Russians." "They can't just take over our country   peacefully and quietly without someone objecting." "I couldn't kill Sidorova today, but I promise that she will be killed." "How will that happen?" "You won't get near her now." "I don't need to." "I'm not the only one who wants her dead." "Who else wants it?" "Everyone in Defense wants the little Russian dead." "Are you sure about that?" "We might have a Prime Minister who brown-noses the Russians   but we at Defense definitely don't." "When you say 'Defense', you mean the military in general?" "Yeah." "I can only be sure of the people I'm in contact with." "Who are they?" "People in the Guard?" "The whole Guard shares that opinion." "Does that apply to the higher-ups?" "Do the officers share your opinion?" "I said the whole Guard, didn't I?" " How high are we talking, Christensen?" " All the way up." " Give me a name." " Do you think I'm stupid?" "Why would I tell you that here?" "Because I'm your only chance to get out of here." "You?" "We're finished." "Just come with me." " Thanks." "Good job." " We're ready to go." "Unfortunately, we can't let him go now." "Yes, the agreement was that I would take him to Norwegian police." "Yes, yes." "I know." " The circumstances have changed now." " What do you mean?" "My boss will contact your boss." "Tell him he should think about it." "I strongly recommend that you follow us now." " The Secretary is asking for another hour." " Two hours." "It's been more than two hours." "Okay." "It's the fucking 17th of May." "Sausages and ice cream." "Sorry." "I had to do job stuff." " Has it gone well here?" " Very well, actually." " They love my food." " That's great!" " So what can I do?" " You can wash the dishes." "Don't you smile." "One of them reserved five tables for next week." "I'm thinking of bringing a few people in." " Russians?" " Yeah." "Do you think that's stupid?" "Whatever, so long as I don't have to wash dishes anymore." "Sit down." "Relax." "I can serve a little." "Relax." "GRU Spetsnaz, Elite soldiers." "Yeah, yeah." "I've been up close with them." "How can elite soldiers go around Oslo without PST informing me about it?" "We'd like to intensify intelligence against the Russians." "Djupvik." "Do you really think that the Commander was involved in this?" "Christensen refused to give a name." "Give me Sidorova." "Can no one answer properly?" "The news that the Russians have the guard is out." "It's important that they don't get photos of those guys." "Can I talk to the Commander now?" "No, he'll only communicate via email   unless all his demands are met." "What are the demands?" "The Russians will be let go at the same time as the guard Christensen   is turned over to Norwegian police." "He wants a standing order to   ban all Russian personnel from all Norwegian military facilities." "I believe that Christensen's lying." " Do you know what they do for work?" " I have no idea." "I know they can afford to pay." "I don't need to know any more." " Did you come to get me again?" " Yes, actually." " I'm so glad." " You still won't give a name?" "No." "The Russians will know who we are next time." "I don't think there was anyone involved in the assassination but you." "I think you're a single guy who chose there and then." "You were alone." "When you were arrested, no one pursued   your ideas." "There's no one there." "You're all alone." "Everyone thinks so." "You can believe what you want." "Okay, but let's play with this a moment." "Let's say the military was in on it." "You had other people." "It was a planned assassination." "How long did it take to plan?" "You don't know?" " It wasn't your idea, but an order?" " It took a week." "A week." " And when did you get in on it?" " I was in on it from the start." "So you were in on a planned assassination of Irina Sidorova a week in advance?" "Yeah, that's right." "Thanks." "Great." "Sidorova is waiting for you." "What are you doing?" "I get us back on our feet, and you ruin it." " What did I do?" " Sit, Maja." "I don't know what you did, but you're here as a waiter, and you need to be nice   or the guests won't come back." " I just asked a couple questions ..." "I was wondering what happens next door, because it's strange." " No!" " No?" " No, it's not strange." " Yes, it is strange." "We were invaded by a country and it's fair and reasonable   that one can ask questions." " The rich Russians are sitting out there   and wondering if they can feel safe here." " Relax, I was just talking to him." " You will not speak to anyone!" "Just go." "I don't want you here." "I mean that." "Just go." " Can Djupvik hear me?" " Yeah, we hear you." "I must ask how you managed to persuade Sidorova." "She just wants to show that she's not afraid of extremists." "She says that it wouldn't have been resolved without you." "Congratulations." "Thank you." " Did you give it to the tabloids?" " Everyone." "As many pictures as possible." " Can we get a comment?" " Christensen!" "Third floor." "Two windows facing the street." "Right over the main entrance." " Who is she getting orders from?" " I don't know." "Who did she speak to before she made the decision?" "She decided herself." "Didn't call anyone." "No reports before she let Christensen go." " Was anyone else in the room?" " An Intelligence Officer, Serkin." "He speaks Swedish." "Good." " Can I take off now?" " You can." "Thanks so much for the help." "Wait." " Tips." " Seriously?" "Thank you." " How long can I stay out?" " As long as you want   just come home before your father wakes up." "Everyone should feel safe on Norwegian soil." "I think you understand that one responds strongly to an assassination attempt." "But Norway's laws should and must be enforced by Norwegian police." "The Russian Energy Administration has shown that they understand that." "I commend the Norwegian media that haven't used the episode today   on our national day, to portray them as an enemy." "It's totally unnecessary." " Hi, Thomas." " Are you watching tv?" "No." "The Prime Minister is trying to shift the blame onto us." "Then we'll get even more readers." "You've never had so many repostings." "It's cooking on social media." "Yeah." " Hi." " Hi." "Did you have a good time?" "I think I ate a hundred sausages and a million ice creams." " How about you?" " Yeah, I had a good day." "Very good, I think." " Did something happen?" " I saved a life today." "Was it you who saved the Russian?" "No ..." "So she's alive because of you?" "You're good." "Mom!" " Come!" " What is it?" "You ..." "Wait here."
