Yes! Mads was furious at Ris.

Could you fax me the internal document,

so that you aren't on the radio.

Yes...I will try.

Research Ris, this is Irene Hahnemann.

Poul, may I speak to Lars Krogsgaard?

He's not here. Can I help?

The snow samples, the truth?

I go on the air at 6:00 PM...

with or without you.

I am also a journalist.

This is blackmail.

I'll call again...

Call 16 51 70, if you have the answer.

16 51 70, and you could win an LP

or two in our morning show.

Here's what we'll be broadcasting tomorrow.

We broadcast directly from the island.

You can hear more about it tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow, the radio will hear about

the Recycling factory on the island.

Today starts a sorting of an

island of garbage collection.

We'll report directly from the factory.

Lars Krogsgaard from Ris phone.

Lars Krogsgaard?

Lars Krogsgaard.

18 news...Thule case.

A Danish delegation has been in the US...

to retrieve the secret snow samples.

On the phone, we are with health

physician Lars Krogsgaard.

Lars Krogsgaard, you said you have examined

snow samples from the B-2 crash site.

Didn't you?

We were not allowed to.

The Americans would not reveal how

much Plutonium was in the bombs.

So, you have no snow samples as yet?

No, we do not.

I have here an internal memorandum

from the National Board of Health.

It says that we have had the snow

samples at Ris all this time.

I assume you also know,

about this document.

Should I read up?

No, it is not required.

So what you told me a year ago

and now you say, is all a lie?

That isn't exact...

It is true that...

these samples, as shown in the notes

were of a classified nature...

I have no obligation to

say that we have them.

On the contrary, I deny everything,

as long as they are of classified nature.

So the whole journey to the

United States was pointless?

Do you have other secrets,

waiting to come out?

If I had any, I wouldn't reveal them to you.

Says the Health Physician,

Lars Krogsgaard from Ris.

AGF has a new director.

He is expected to take office in August.

Poul, you have done impressive work!

Thanks.

I would probably have set you to a Cavling Prize.

There it is! Yeah.

But how boring it might sound...

we cannot force research results upon Ris.

Am I hearing correct?

Ris has classified snow samples.

You cannot obtain those,

unless the government opens up.

Not when it comes to research.

Nothing can be done, it's with the military.

This is a health issue.

The military got their medical reports.

What happens now Ole?

Let's just wait and see what

the investigation shows up.

We have to stick within our limits.

What is this all about?

We and Danish Radio are in part one.

We have a role to play in case of war.

If there is a war on another,

we become a government mouthpiece.

Well it's practical and benefits us all.

What does this have to do with me?

And who are you in this?

I'm a journalist and security officer at Danish Radio.

I must ensure a balance between

news and state interests...

and balance relationship with our allies.

Security Officer?

Or an Intelligence officer?

No, I guarantee balance.

Goodbye, Bent.

Goodbye.

Did you know we had one?

What?

A security officer?

No!

It was as an attempt to censor.

You would think, we were in the GDR.

Could you not hear him?

Hear what?

Whole thing stinks!

Is that it?

Yeah.

Can I go now?

Hi...

What's wrong?

The wheels don't run as before.

I can come back another time.

No sign of any radiation damage!

That's good, you're healthy.

Everyone received the letter!

Even those with eczema and cancer!

Isn't that because of radiation exposure?

Weren't you examined?

Yes, by a doctor.

He tapped us on the knee and

threw us out after 10 minutes.

I thought we could win this.

We damn will!

We won't!

Don't lose heart now.

I've used-up my pension over this.

Yeah, it's f***ing annoying, but it will be fine!

Just takes time!

Someone is trying to stop me.

But it's a good sign.

Now we must arm ourselves with

patience and stand together.

Stand together?

Yeah.

Aren't you getting little sentimental?

Keep quiet!

Stop that!

Why don't you see to your wheel?

Maybe you could help me instead.

Do I get a cup of coffee?

Do you have to?

Yes.

Maybe you wont!

Then, no.

It sounds like Maggie 'Is back in Town'.

We were allowed to look inside and will

let the pictures speak for themselves.

Tell me, are you following me?

Stay away from the area.

Stay away from the area.

Stay away...

Hi...

What?

You're scaring me, standing there like that!

Sorry...no, no, no.

Everything is fine.

Don't lie to me.

We are about 10 miles away.

American Nuclear Testing, Pacific Ocean

During the negotiations on

arms deliveries to Denmark...

we have not been offered nuclear weapons.

If the need so arises,

the Government believes...

that it should not be received.

It's a decision in principle

and Denmark is ready.

We believe that Denmark should not have

nuclear weapons and we stand by it.

And I'll assume, it will be accepted.

It's easy to imagine,

what it would mean for Denmark...

if modern weapons were used against

bases on Danish territory.

Throw yourselves down when outdoors.

A minimum exposure would be the result.

Press your face to the ground and

keep your hands under the body.

Staying outdoors is totally incorrect!

I am shocked!

It's quite terrible.

It's terrible and they should stop it.

This creates insecurity,

when you have small children.

It's a belly-up.

If disaster comes, many lives will be lost.

But if you are at a certain distance

from the nuclear blast...

you have a chance to survive,

if you just do the right thing.

Atom March Holbaek-Copenhagen, 1960

The Soviet Sprenger bombs in the

Western world are an oppression.

When Americans detonate bombs the

world is in turmoil, the east.

BLISTER SERVICE:

Listen, I tried everything for three years.

What...what do you mean?

Well...we had a series of deaths among American sailors

and soldiers who worked on the base in 1968.

Some tried to sue for damages but

the case was dismissed of course.

With what justification?

Well, there's a law that states that the United States

must refund 75% of any compensation that Danish State

would grant the Thule workers in case of an accident.

Wouldn't that amount to small change for you?

Yeah, it ain't about the money for the Pentagon.

The Pentagon doesn't want to set a precedent.

Precedent, how?

If you win a lawsuit, then all kinds

of people will come calling.

Anyone who gets injured while working

for the US military around the world.

That's a lot of people and a lot of money.

It's a NATO treaty, it's called SOFA.

Status of Forces Agreement.

You can maybe get a hearing,

but never a real trial.

Forget about it!

Carl, this is Denmark, at least we can try.

They will go very far to avoid that.

Don't forget you are up against the

government of the United States.
