Uffe Ellemann-Jensen, Left Foreign Minister

He knows, of course, a lot of bombs,

he worked at the Thule Base.

But it is not easy to distinguish between

Hydrogen bomb and a conventional one.

However, a Hydrogen bomb is quite big,

when talking about the explosive force.

Yes, it's quite big.

It's 73 times larger with four of them,

compared to wiping Hiroshima.

In the case of an air crash...

Hydrogen bombs are designed to

break without a nuclear explosion.

And it is a case also here.

I've been in Washington and

in these two documents...

there is a discussion of

a submarine Star III...

and that they were looking for

a so-called missing object.

What do you think it means?

What were they looking for so much?

Salvaging may have been

for the plane's black box.

If there was a Hydrogen bomb in the bay,

shouldn't it be brought up?

Such a bomb may as well leak.

There was no sign of a Hydrogen bomb.

May I put this question...

May I just point out that I was not the

Secretary of State in 1968...No.

This was done during the Krag administration.

So do you admit of a US recording?

Our American friends hardly

have anything to hide.

So now you say that you will demand

the recordings be handed over.

Yes, of course...

There will be a dialogue with the Americans.

Thanks.

And back to the Tamil issue.

A TV documentary focuses on Erik Ninn-Hansen's

time as Minister of Justice.

He is accused of infringing the...

Hi.

It's good to see you.

Brink, I'm the Director for

Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

You did it brilliantly! Really.

Poul, what do you think will happen now?

Do you think the foreign minister will send

a stack of bomb pictures laying in the ocean?

You got access to documents in the United States,

that even Health wasn't allowed to.

How did that happen?

Health has sloppy.

Where they!?

Or did Americans withheld documents...

Or Health released documents,

other than those censored.

Or they were they released,

after Health's trip to the United States.

Deputy Foreign Minister Leddy suggests

that there was an agreement with Denmark.

He says it loud and clear...of that!

You don't have this source? Can you get him?

I don't think so.

I was chased off by the police over there.

Is he a credible source?

I don't know.

What did he tell you

about this agreement?

I think he talked about it.

You think?

Could there be a natural explanation?

Can he, for example, be senile?

He sounded old.

Is he a credible source?

Who else can confirm the agreement?

US Ambassador Katherine White writing

in the telegram from 1968...

that they will delay publication until

after the election two days later.

But Katherine White is dead.

Yes, it's incredible that they hid an accident?

Why hide an accident?

Yes, but how do you proceed?

I must know whether the bomb is there.

Why did they wait until after the election?

And there's a secret agreement?

What is the relationship?

That is what I want to find out.

Come.

Welcome on board!

Thanks.

Yep.

The Danish Thule Workers raised a request to the US,

in Washington to gain access to the archives.

What was Denmark's role is the Thule case?

Marius Schmidt criticizes Health...

I'll have do the laundry.

Be back in 5, keep an eye on Kristian?

I'm gonna take out the laundry, take care of Kristian.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I've been in the National Archives

and got a pile of documents.

Documents that Health could not get hold of!

Kristian...shh.

When the National Board of Health

cannot obtain these documents...

how can they figure out how

to implement a checkup?

TV news had asked for an opinion...

Kristian?

Kristian?

Kristian?

There you are Kristian!

What are you doing? Huh?

Your little brat, what are you doing?

What?

We were just...

washing our hands.

Okay.

Premier Johansen is outraged

by the Danish censorship.

It's an example of the official

regime that is in Greenland.

Where in the world do people

otherwise subject to the risks?

The ambassador wishes to speak to you.

Which ambassador?

The US of course!

Why?

Because you have done well.

They are noticing you in the right places.

Reach out...

Turn around. Thanks

Mr.Brink, how are you?

I'm good Mr.Ambassador.

I appreciate your coming.

Yeah?

Gosh! You are tall.

Come on, sit down.

Why don't you sit over here, this chair.

Very important people have sat on that chair.

Mr.Moller and Her Majesty, the Queen of Denmark.

To name but two!

Well...that is very impressive people, sir.

It is!

Chivli?

Here you go.

How many Danes fought in the Allied forces during WW2?

Excuse me?

How many?

20? 10? 8?

I think it was a little more than that.

Well they were fighting elsewhere. Weren't they?

About 8000 Danes joined the German SS, right?

And they all went to jail after the war, so?

I just been to Luxembourg, Mr.Brink.

In that tiny country lies the graves

over 16,000 young Americans soldiers.

If our boys hadn't liberated you,

you would still be living under a Kaiser or Stalin.

Sir, why am I here?

You just have to trust us.

Fine.

But what is this missing object?

Sir, as a Dane, it is impossible to accept that

a foreign power has something secret on Danish territory.

Thule's not Danish territory.

Thule's an American territory.

No...no it's Danish territory.

We are fighting for you son.

Give us some elbow room!

The local Eskimos were driven out,

so you could get Thule Airbase.

I think we gave you

a lot of elbow room.

Has anyone told you, you are a very naive man?

You think Mr.John Leddy would have said something else.

If he was allowed.

There is no bomb.

But there may be a bomb.

Or perhaps...half a bomb.

Or three quarters of a bomb.

And maybe these documents refer to something

completely different, what we need to know.

We?

The people of Denmark! Yes.

Oh, I see! So now, you are doing

a story on the bigger picture.

No...

I'm telling a story about a country that was

misled by so called its closest Ally.

Mr.Brink, I think you are

writing a fairy tale...

about a small peace-loving country that

pulled the world over before its own eyes.

Yes?

It's Poul Brink.

Yeah.

Are you going to let me in?

Poul Brink...

I'm not going to speak

about this anymore.

It does not look good that I and Marius

well able to find the documents.

The archives were not open,

when I was in the United States.

Therefore I'll make up a story tomorrow

on why you did not return.

And the day after.

And every day, until you tell me what you know.

This is the document from Washington,

wherein a missing object is referred to.

No, these are ones I haven't seen yet!

But you do now!

I don't think you're a liar, Mads.

But you look like one.

You were sent to the US to pick up

answers that were already home.

Somebody made an ass of you.

You have no idea what that means.

Why are you not telling me?

Not telling what?

Someone lied and if you keep saying no,

then you continue the lie.

You know there's something wrong here, yeah?
