"We praise Danish democracy for its ability to accommodate two opponents from the same nation" "We say we go in for freedom of speech and a free press and all that" "Right I must run." "See you in an hour lt's your father" "He says you agreed he could spend the night tonight" "Did I forget to tell you?" "Sorry. I completely forgot" "Hi, Dad" "We can't wait to see you" "No, we are very busy" "Do you mind jumping in a taxi?"

"He has come over to hear this Vladimir Bayanov bloke" "He's reading his poetry at Politikens Hus" "And what are your plans?" "What are your plans for your father?" "No plans" "He's coming, and we're going to look after him" "You mean, I'm going to look after him I am just about to have my first official visit" "You must give me two days, OK?" "It's good planning that your father is coming at the same time I know" "Listen. it would mean a lot to me if you would take good care of him I think he is getting kind of lonely over there on Bornholm" "Oh?" "I thought he'd livened up after the divorce I'm not so sure lt's only for a night, two at most" "Your father acts all schoolmasterly towards me" "He was a school teacher" "But he regards me as the big, bad capitalist and... lt's not open for discussion." "He's my father I am asking you for a favour." "Can you help?" "Thanks -"Not open for discussion"?" "Not now" "OK." "What time is the Prime Minister intending to get home today?" "State Visit" "Grozin and his Foreign Minister will sit here" "Your place as Prime Minister is with your back to the fireplace" "Will the press be taking photos before the meeting?" "What do you think?" "Have minimal press involvement" "President Grozin is not a good story for us" "He has a shady reputation as a cruel leader" "And I'm handing him the chair of the Organisation for Security and Democratic Development!" "What about the gala at the theatre tomorrow?" "It's the palace's show entirely." "We are just guests" "So relax and enjoy" "The Energy and Climate Minister wants to pass on some good news in person" "Send him in" "This way" "Thank you" "We did it."

"By fax from the Turgisian embassy I spoke to North Wind's chairman and the Foreign Minister" "They all confirm it" "Grozin will sign after the press conference the day after tomorrow" "Well done." "So something good came out of the climate summit in Paris" "This will make Denmark Europe's biggest exporter of green energy lt could mean that the Russians are next in line to buy lt's a bloody good story" "The government creates jobs and a better global climate and does a fairytale export deal with the old Eastern bloc" "The Confederation of Danish industry will be happy I assume this means a change in approach with the press" "We give them the works." "Big smile, Birgitte" "One can always change one's mind!" "Do we admire them for buying a bunch of wind turbines?" "I'll cut "admiration"" "Do you have a moment?"

"They can't even hold democratic elections" "For a man like Grozin to take the chair of the Organisation for Security and Democratic Development it's a disgrace, Birgitte, and you know it lt was not my decision to give him the chairmanship" "Denmark just happens to have the chair and I'm passing it onto him" "You are holding an official reception for him" "Once upon a time you'd have been at my side protesting" "That was before you got all pragmatic lt is your privilege not to be pragmatic because you lead a party that is 1 % above the cut-off point" "I'm the Prime Minister, even for those who didn't vote me in" "Just remember that, OK?" "Thank you" "21 million people live in Turgisia which, as we see here, is on the Black Sea bordering Ukraine to the west and Russia to the east lt became an independent republic in 1991" "Alexander Grozin was elected President in 1996 ln the mountains in the south-east, you've got the Sarkesians who are fighting for independence under Vladimir Bayanov's leadership" "Gorm Hallund has sent this report from the turbulent region" "Excellent, Ulrik."

"No doubt cheating was involved" "What do you say if the Queen talks to you?" "Do you say "Ma'am" or "Your Majesty"?" "Are we talking hypothetically here?" "You're right. I expect it will be an extremely dull ball" "Have you got my speech ready?" "Yes I promised TV1 Radio you'd comment briefly on Bayanov's visit and opposition to Grozin" "They're going to ring at 3:30pm -l can't make it" "School run" "They're baying for blood" "Bayanov and Amnesty have organised a protest to coincide with the gala" "You should tone things down in the interview" "I can't ask Phillip to pick them up again today" "Can I pick them up, maybe?" "That's kind of you... lt is really kind of you." "Thank you I am looking forward to welcoming President Grozin" "We'll be discussing security and democracy in the OSDD nations..." "...especially in Eastern Europe" "Mum?" "I am not meeting Bayanov myself but I appreciate his part in the debate" "That is what democracy is about" "Mum?" "I'm glad he is taking the opportunity to express his views in our country" "One moment." "You have to let me work" "Magnus has wet his pants" "You'll have to talk to Kasper Juul if you have any more questions about the visit" "Thank you" "Darling..." "Why didn't you tell me you needed a wee?" "Hi." "Why have you had a shower?" "He wet his pants" "OK" "That's the third time this month" "The third time?" "You didn't tell me -l did tell you" "Do you think something's wrong?" "When did you last watch TV with him?" "l don't know." "Why?" "l think he's missing you" "He gets time with you if he wets himself" "Of course it's my fault" "That's not what I meant" "Then what did you mean?" "When the official visit is over, I will have more time" "Do you really believe that?" "There is something we need to talk about" "OK." "What?" "Am I right in saying you have shares in North Wind?" "Yes I'm going to have to ask you to sell them" "OK." "Why?" "President Grozin is going to sign an order worth 1 billion euros for wind turbines from North Wind" "And it hasn't been a particularly desirable share for years I know" "But we can't profit from anything linked to my government's policies" "We have had those shares for years." "It's just a coincidence lt's unfortunate, and I'm really sorry but you have to sell them" "Preferably at once" "Look..." "Are you serious?" "This is Phillip Christensen l'd like to talk to you about my holding in North Wind" "Granddad!" "You have a visitor" "Hi, Dad" "Welcome to Copenhagen" "Thanks." "Good to see you" "Hello, you rascal" "Hi, Granddad" "Hi, Laura" "Does everyone have to pass those suited gorillas out there?" "Or is it just me?" "lt's just you" "They're just doing theirjob" "Hi, Per" "What's the matter with you?" "I have just sold some shares and waved goodbye to a small fortune" "You're meant to be good at that" "Well, never mind" "Money is only paper, as we used to say when I was young" "Was the journey OK?" "Yes, thanks" "Who is the guy you are interviewing?" "Vladimir Bayanov" "He is a celebrated poet and dissident from Turgisia" "Katrine, are you ready to run through the script with me?" "Yes" "We'll put Vladimir Bayanov on first" "Right" "He's on his way" "OK" "How about we run though the scripts when you have changed?" "ls that OK?" "Fine" "Hi" "Am I interrupting?" "Well, I am in the middle of something" "Catch you later?" "Yes. I'll ring you when I finish" "Bye" "Bye bye" "Who has got herself a boyfriend, then?" "He's not my boyfriend" "Oh, really." "What is he, then?" "I don't know, but not my boyfriend" "Are you seeing other guys?" "Tania, he is not my boyfriend" "Are we finished with this or not?" "Thank you" "And with just one word I begin my life anew I was born to know you, to call you by your name" " Freedom" "Bloody hell!" "He's good" "You don't mind me force-feeding the kids?" "No, not at all." "All they get from me is market economics and football" "Have we run out?" "So we have" "Vladimir Bayanov was fantastic" "And I must admit, I felt a kind of kinship with him" "There's a bit of the old rebel in me yet" "Hi, Bjørn" "We have just received a fax from the Turgisian embassy asking us to detain Bayanov and extradite him to stand trial" "What are we detaining him for?" "Terrorism, high treason..." "Various crimes against the Turgisian state" "lt's a long list -ls there any proof?" "No, just a Iong list of charges ln that case, we do nothing." "We consider it a routine request" "Are you serious?" "Bjørn" "The memo I got from your ministry states that Bayanov has been living in exile for the past ten years and that Grozin has tried to get him extradited many times" "This is just another such attempt." "Let's wait and see I have to go." "We're not acting on this" "Who is going to be detained?" "You were not meant to hear that -ls it Bayanov?" "I can't tell you that" "Hi, beautiful" "Was anything wrong today?" "What?" "Was I wrong to stop by?" "No" "Maybe lt's work, right?" "I don't think we should get the two things mixed up lt's not as if we're planning to get married tomorrow" "That's fine by me" "Katrine" "Call that an interview?" "What do you mean?" "Kasper, what is your problem?" "What are you doing?" "Are you alone?" "Yes I get all the criticism I need" "You don't have to ring every time just to add to it" "What I heard was a load of rubbish" "You were blatantly flirting with your interviewee" "You are out of line." "I'm not listening to this." "Bye" "I have been given Thursday" "Good morning" "Morning" "Pancakes and coffee in two minutes I borrowed your dressing gown." "OK?" "Yes" "Morning." "What's that?" "My dinnerjacket for tomorrow" "lt's a gala. I said white tie -l thought it was..." "Shall I call my secretary?" "It's fine. I'll find something else" "Phillip" "What are you doing?" "Going to the theatre." "The official visit" "Kids, we're having pancakes." "Hurry up and get dressed" "Get better soon" "Come on, Magnus" "That was Trine." "She's ill." "She can't come tonight" "l don't believe it" "What's the matter?" "Our babysitter is sick I had better stay another night, then" "Can you, Dad?" "Of course" "One good turn..." "That's great" "The President of Turgisia, Alexander Grozin, is in Denmark as the new chair of the Organisation for Security and Democratic Development, the OSDD" "Grozin landed at Copenhagen airport and has arrived at Christiansborg where Prime Minister Nyborg is introducing him to her Cabinet" "You will be able to ask questions later" "Take this to the Ministry of Justice I want an assessment in the next few hours" "Well?" "What were you doing with Bayanov?" "Yesterday?" "What were you doing?" "It was a good interview lt was a great interview." "Bloody great!" "You were having me on!" "Lots of foreign TV stations want to use it. lt was the dog's bollocks" "Well done, guys, but do you mind?" "Come here" "We need a comment from President Grozin I want you to meet Vladimir Bayanov in town somewhere" "UIrik can do the six o'clock, and you follow Bayanov and Grozin" "Off you go, then" "Yes, OK." "Thanks" "But now, first, TV1" "What do we know about that bombing?" "l see" "Does she have a moment?" "She's under a lot of pressure." "Maybe later" "He will be here any moment." "Shut the door" "Yes, but find out quickly." "And get back to me" "Thanks" "Are you going to detain Bayanov?" "Not if I can help it I know it will mean bad press for us" "The thing is, not detaining him might mean worse press" "The international press knows Denmark is harbouring the President and the "terrorist" who wants to depose him" "The BBC and German and French TV want a comment" "Not now." "Yes?" "The Justice Minister is here" "Hello, Troels" "Birgitte" "What do your people say about the evidence?" "If you are asking me whether Bayanov is guilty, I can't tell you" "But my legal people do not regard this evidence as particularly weighty" "There are a few photos and documents showing Bayanov once had contact with people behind previous bombings" "So I can tell Grozin the evidence is too thin?" "Not quite" "We could detain him under the new anti-terrorism legislation which gives the police extensive powers lf there is any suspicion..." "Yes, but my party voted against the legislation for that very reason lt would be slightly dubious if I used it now to detain an innocent man" "We can't have a terror suspect in the country without reacting" "We can say we are looking into it" "How long is Bayanov staying in the country?" "Why?" "We need to get him to leave" "Then there won't be a problem" "How do we do that?" "We leak to the press that Grozin wants Bayanov detained and hope he leaves the country" "What if he doesn't?" "He will." "He's no fool" "Yes?" "You're due at the theatre in just over an hour" "Thanks" "Right" "The plan now is to get Bayanov out of the country if at all possible" "Thanks" "You left a message" "Has anyone seen that... jewellery?" "It was in a small black box of some kind?" "Yes, it's in there, on your desk" "All dolled up, aren't they?" "Cufflinks and earrings" "How lovely!" "Are they the Queen's?" "The ministry borrowed them" "There is a ring, too" "Doesn't the Prime Minister have a Knight's Cross?" "Hush, you old provocateur!" "My party does not accept honours" "When will you be home?" "Not until you're fast asleep, but Mummy will come in and kiss you lt is good to have the chance to be home alone" "Have you ever tasted my cinnamon waffles?" "This is so bloody ridiculous" "No, Phillip. lt is part of myjob" "And it is yourjob to come along" "Three steps behind her, Phillip" "Thanks a bunch" "What do you think?" "What?" "Goodness, you look lovely lt's like the church wedding you never had" "l need a wee" "He means it, Dad" "Quick" "Don't worry" "We can manage without your help" "Pretend you are married" "They are married." "Aren't they?" "Bye" "Bye." "See you later" "We are broadcasting live from the Theatre Royal where tonight's gala performance is the ballet, Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky" "Keep an eye out for Grozin."

"I'll tell him." "Don't you worry. I have no choice" "Katrine?" "Yes?" "Bloody hell. lt's out" "The BBC has breaking news on Bayanov" "Turgisian authorities are linking him to the bombing of their police HQ" "I'll ask him for his views on that lf he is behind an act of terrorism in his own country with lots of casualties I can't... I can't give him air time." "I simply can't" "The director is really concerned" "But we don't know if he is guilty" "What if he is?" "In your interview he came close to justifying the use of terrorism" "Do you realise how big this is?" "Yes, I am well aware" "We can't back out now I'Il have to talk to the director first" "Yes, but..." "Shall I go into town?" "Yes, for God's sake!" "But if he does turn out to be a terrorist we bin the story on the spot" "Understood?" "Yes" "And keep your phone on." "That's an order" "I'll ring you back I have been contacted by the Russian Foreign Minister" "He recommends the swift detention of Bayanov and he criticised our passivity in no uncertain terms" "We have got to do something" "We are warning him I'm hoping he is about to leave the country now" "lt is time for the interval" "We want comments on the food" "The Queen has invited her guests to a finger buffet in the foyer" "There will be caviar, salmon and prawn canapés and pasties filled with venison from the royal deer park" "Bayanov won't leave" "TV1 has just announced an interview with him" "The Danish Prime Minister is making polite conversation with Grozin" "Things are developing by the minute."

"is this arrest even legal?" "Why are you detaining him?" "There is freedom of the press in Denmark" "Viggo, come here" "The internationally acclaimed poet and dissident, Vladimir Bayanov is being taken away by the Danish police ln the last three years over 71 political activists have disappeared in Turgisia" "We fear that Vladimir Bayanov will be the 72nd" "Danish Prime Minister Birgitte Nyborg has given in to pressure from abroad" "You have arrested Bayanov!" "Dad, let me get inside first" "Do you have any idea what goes on in Grozin's so-called democracy?" "l'm tired -lt's insane" "You don't know that -l'll look in on the kids I know you arrested a man without proof I saw it on the news." "But perhaps it's not true" "Bloody hell!" "I can tell who is wearing the trousers now" "Stop!" "That was a fantastic evening" "Do you think anyone will mind if I sleep in my gown?" "One glass of champagne too many?" "Hey, we haven't had a dance" "Come on" "OK." "Shall we dance?" "You treat women like dirt, don't you, Kasper?" "Those are malicious rumours" "The National Security Council is meeting tomorrow" "There are a whole load of files that need to be copied and collated" "Yes" "Don't you know the saying?" "Did you see your girlfriend's story about Vladimir Bayanov's detention?" "No?" "In that case you ought to" "Why is he being detained?" "Why is he being arrested?" "Is there a warrant you can show us?" "The internationally acclaimed poet and dissident, Vladimir Bayanov is being taken away by Danish police ln the last three years, over 71 political..." "Hi, Kasper" "Are you going for a journalism award or something?" "I'm not in the mood I don't care if you're in the mood or not" "Kasper, I'm not alone."

"We can't just keep on going" "Speak for yourself!" "Yes?" "What are you doing here?" "I can't be arsed to argue with you I give you a great story, and this is the thanks I get" "Thanks?" "What are you talking about?" "You just hung up on me" "And you phoned up to yell at me I told you, I have a visitor" "You have a visitor?" "So that's why you've come round lf you'd let me..." "Hi, Benjamin" "Are you two an item, then?" "Come off it." "You're drunk, and you're being stupid" "Go home -l came to say hi" "Hi." "Now, bye" "Just tell me whether you are an item or not" "You're batting above your average" "Don't do that, mate" "l think he's ugly -l think you should go home" "Don't touch me" "Go inside" "l'll be in shortly" "She said go" "Don't do that" "She said go inside!" "Piss off!" "Get a hold of yourself" "Stop it!" "Calm down, for God's sake!" "Let go of him" "Let go of him" "Stupid wanker!" "Right." "We're going outside for a chat, Kasper" "I'll be right back" "Go home." "Let's just forget about this" "Bloody hell..." "A spinning instructor!" "What the hell were you thinking?"

"You and Phillip?" "The kids?" "Yes" "Well, so were your mother and I for many years" "Then all of a sudden we stopped talking to each other" "I have always told you I was delighted about the divorce that I was much happier afterwards" "It's not true" "I miss your mother every day" "The divorce was the worst thing that ever happened to me" "That is why I have a little drink every now and then I know, Dad" "Birgitte, promise me one thing" "Promise me that you and phillip will stay together forever" "I promise, Dad" "Good morning" "You're up early" "When is your father going?"

"There must be a procedure for this" "Grozin's request is not unreasonable" "The whole point of the OSDD is for member states to help one another" "The only OSDD member against it is France" "How long can we keep Bayanov in custody?" "We want to get rid of him as quickly as we can" "We have an international terror suspect in a Danish prison lt could create all kinds of security issues" "And I must emphasise there is nothing in Danish law to prevent extradition" "Apart from Bayanov's presumed execution within 24 hours" "Officially Turgisia abolished the death penalty six years ago" "Nevertheless 71 of Grozin's opponents disappeared last year" "So Amnesty International claims -l don't see how we can extradite him" "No, but you want to sell your wind turbines, don't you?" "Am I right?" "Not if it means committing a crime" "The Greens cannot support the extradition of a dissident just for the sale of 1 billion euros worth of wind turbines I mean, how much is a human life worth to you, Troels?" "That is a stupid argument" "l don't think so -1 billion euros is a lot of money" "And remember, the Russians are not averse to buying Danish wind turbines" "And if we get a toehold in that market, well..." "Are we really discussing whether Bayanov's head is worth 1 billion euros in exports?" "Well, no, but you are about to hand Grozin the chair of the Organisation for Security and Democratic Development" "You will have to trust him as a democrat or that makes no sense at all" "Trust a man who has repeatedly violated human rights?" "We can't support this" "Forgive me, but this is not something your party needs to support lt is a matter of Denmark extraditing a suspected terrorist to Turgisia lt is the law and not open for debate" "We have to make a decision ln a moment, you will be on a sofa having your picture taken with Grozin" "We don't have to make a decision I have to make a decision" "We can sign the extradition agreement after the ceremony" "Right I would like a moment alone" "You, too" "Make sure President Grozin gets this question" "Katrine, you have to help me -l'm not talking to you" "This isn't personal." "Just ask Grozin this question" "You can't dictate my questions" "You have to do this I do not." "In this country we have a free press" "The Prime Minister will let you ask the last question lt's a question you will want to ask" "Thank you, all" "What's going on?" "Well, your father is intending to stay till Monday I simply can't take it, even though he is a sweet, old hippy" "So I'm moving into a hotel for a couple of days" "Wait a moment." "Give me a minute or two" "Hi, Dad I think I'll stay for the weekend so we can spend some time together" "We haven't seen much of each other" "That's true lt's not going to work I need time with Phillip" "And Phillip needs his dressing gown, his coffee and his red wine" "I want to keep that promise I made to you yesterday" "Yes, I understand I'll go upstairs to pack" "Vladimir Bayanov, who has spent the last few days in a prison cell on suspicion of terrorism, has left the country this evening" "He said he was happy with the outcome and flew on to Paris where he will be addressing a human rights congress in two days" "President Grozin's official visit to Denmark concluded today" "Shortly after assuming the chair of the OSDD he signed a 1 billion euro contract with the Danish company, North Wind" "Sources at North Wind say Turgisia has begun to question the contract lt is too early to say whether the deal will go ahead" "The kids are asleep" "OK" "Were they upset to see Granddad go?" "A bit but you are happy, I hope" "Right." "Shall we tidy up?" "No I'll do it" "But first I want you to stay where you are while I fetch you the best Turgisian wine ever" "A perk from the official visit I can't pronounce it, but directly translated it is meant to mean "Martyr's Blood"" "What is it like?" "You do know that your wife loves you I love her, too" "But I'm not sure about that Prime Minister lady"
