Just a moment.

They have not an agreement.

I called because two days ago.

Who did you speak to?

I spoke with a secretary.

It had where appropriate, been me,

and the conversation I do not remember.

You know, I have called several times.

Yes and you have no agreement.

Now I sit over there and wait,

to you getting myself into.

They are fascists! F***ing fascists!

Maybe not always, Stiba.

I mean, not everything is that extreme.

But it is that extreme.

Power makes politicians corrupts and Celian you

have to be naive to trust people to power...

It takes time for a democracy to develop.

You have heard about the...

And Spain is young democracy...

B-52 accident in Spain in 1966...

Yeah, I read about it.

When Americans crashed with Nuclear bombs

off in the coast in Palomares.

That bomb was 16 times more powerful

than the one in Hiroshima.

And Franco, he pretended that it was okay that the Americans

were flying with those kind of bombs over Spain.

It's pure insanity!

And Franco was a fascist dictator.

It's not about being a dictator,

this was just politicians, umm...

You know that I'm very critical.

afraid that...

And always...always extremely skeptical.

You...you have grown up in a society

that thinks there can be no evil.

You think that your little smart hole

is safe from the evils in the world.

Smart hole?

You Danes acts as if you were invincible...

but you are not.

You are just very naive...

very naive.

What the hell...

Yes! Just calm down.

Poul Brink? Journalist, East Jutland Radio.

Yeah.

You idiot!

Hey, hey, hey can you get out!

No, I just got here.

Goodbye.

It's funny, you go so much up the

case that you didn't even call me.

What you are do, doesn't matter.

Who the hell are you?

Health Department won't talk to you.

Not the way you are going!

Marius Schmidt, Chief Fire Officer

at Thule Base 1968.

I was responsible for both firemen

and civilians when the plane crashed.

I got a medal for my efforts.

For loyal service to the US Army.

I've saved their ass many times.

What is wrong with you?

I fail no one whatever the mess-up.

I cannot interview a healthy man.

Therefore, we must go for a walk.

Yes, yes...

Yes...

This is Carl Dinesen.

Hello.

Poul Brink.

You can take an interview now.

An interview?

Carl is sick!

Maybe Health can shelter us!

Aren't you a candidate for Pontoppidan?

Yes.

And what does he say?

He says I should be scanned.

But there is no money for it.

If I go public, I am finished.

You must do something.

Carl needs to be scanned.

I am a journalist, I make news.

So report this in your news!

Then f***ing give me something new.

Can't you see, I am sick?

I cannot use any more sick men.

What are you going to do then?

What's next...

There must be development.

There must be a shift.

A shift?

Idiot...you can't help us with sh*t.

I thought you could help us,

but you just can't.

Good morning, Poul.

Good morning...uh, I need an advance.

You should take it up with accounting.

I need SEK 15,000.

SEK 15,000?

I would like to scan all Thule Workers.

Made an agreement with Aalborg Hospital.

You got a deal?

I know someone, who may help.

It's a good price.

You can tell yourself to let it go.

Why is that?

I don't have SEK 15,000.

It's impossible Poul.

Of course you can...

I'm not allowed to!

Aalborg Hospital, Section South

Knud Nielsen?

Yes...

Jorgen Holst? Yes

Ken Abildgaard? Yes

Carl Dinesen?

Yes.

Go that way.

I get answers to the scans in three weeks.

Three weeks?

They scanned 25 Thule Workers.

Pontoppidan had analyzed the results before-hand.

We could use those results.

If the scans prove they are sick,

we can force US to hand over snow samples.

If there is too much Plutonium in the snow,

then we have something!

We can pave the way for a trial,

for the Thule workers.

I put SEK 15,000 myself.

A re-imbursement would be nice.

We don't go for scans, neither do we file for lawsuits.

We disseminate news.

We create them.

A pleasing carol that would have

brought you into the Christmas spirit.

The time is 15 and here is the

regional news with Eva Larsen.

Pontoppidan has posted results of the scans!

He notes that all Thule Workers

exhibit the same symptoms.

The number of seriously ill is surprising.

You owe all Thule Workers

further medical examinations.

You need to run it, Marius!

That sounds great, Poul.

Yeah! Now we can force Health

to conduct a medical study.

OK, talk to him.

Board of Health, Copenhagen

Mads Oerbaek?

I tried to talk to you all day.

So do we have a deal?

I have come in early from Aarhus.

I have the scan reports of 25 Thule workers.

They all suffer from a precursor to cancer.

Isn't the Health Agency responsible

to investigate this occurrence?

I haven't agreed to an interview.

I'll examine them and if it were cancerous...

Then will you check if the Thule workers have cancer?

Yes, yes...

We'll open an investigation into

the remediation work at Thule.

That's not what I asked.

Will you check if the Thule workers have cancer?

Health will launch a checkup...

for all those who worked on Thule Base

between 1968 and 1970.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

You are listening to the news...

State Minister Schlter has given a go ahead

to obtain snow samples from Thule base.

The samples will be included in

the study of former employees...

who believe they became ill

due to contaminated snow.

The delegation will be headed by Mads Oerbaek

from the Health Protection Agency.

Health has pledged in writing that

all workers will be examined.

It's a great day and it's incredible,

that so many have come tonight...

for the first meeting of the Association...

for the contamination that hit the Thule workers.

If it were not for one person,

we would not be sitting here today.

Poul, that would be you.

When I saw you the first time, I thought...

Yes...I don't really remember what I thought.

But come up here.

Poul, I have realized,

that you are one of us.

I speak enough on behalf of all, when I say...

That you have given us back,

dignity and hope.

Come up here.

Come here...

It's fine.

Department of Radiation Hygiene.

Poul Brink, from News 18.

I would like to call on to the department that

collected snow samples for the United States.

You will have to call the Board of Health.

They asked me to call you.

The National Board of Health is working on it.

Call Mads Oerbaek.

Is he back?

Oh, yes.

Health.

This is Poul, I know Mads is back.

That will not be possible.

Hello?

Did you hear it click?

Yes.

I recorded everything you just said.

I'm just a secretary.

Yes, but a secretary on the radio,

on a serious case is good enough.

Does Mads Oerbaek have snow

samples from the USA?

No, he does not.

He doesn't?

If I disclose something confidential,

would that help me get off the radio?

I am listening.

The snow samples...

they had been at Ris all the time.

It's on our internal memo.

Internal memo?
