Are we clear on that?

Somebody isn't telling me something.

I don't know.

I'm running the story tomorrow.

I'll be risking my position.

And the Thule Workers continue to die.

Good night.

Sleep well.

Mads Oerbaek charges

Americans of lying.

He sent this fax to me.

It's his own report...

which blames the Americans for

giving him false information.

Let me see.

This is a copy of the same report except...

that the US version point to point

censors the Plutonium amount.

I think this is good.

Mads Oerbaek is sorry about the false information...

and that he misled the government,

the Danish Parliament and the Danish people.

Who the hell censored the report?

The Foreign Affairs Minister.

Foreign Affairs Minister?

Then it's damn Uffe.

It's a lie, a lie, a lie.

Yeah, Yeah.

I tired of all the lies!

Plutonium straight into the sea!

What about the fish?

And Greenlanders...they are the ones messed-up.

I'll call the State Department,

and the Foreign Minister.

You keep writing, Poul. This is good...really good.

Yes...

After publication of the Tamil report today...

This means that tomorrow I will reach

out to the Queen at Amalienborg...

And on this occasion I hereby

submit my resignation.

There goes Uffe.

Sh*t, man!

Sh*t!

These are the questions you

may ask the Foreign Minister.

You can't be serious.

The Minister does not consider this opportunity...

Opportunity?

Let's just stick to mutual points.

I just want some answers.

You as well may!

We're aren't going out in the conspiracy world, right?

But what if, it is a conspiracy?

The State Department has a safe

with secrets, far and wide...

Thanks.

Thank you.

Are we ready?

Yes.

We go live, now.

Yes.

Niels Helveg Petersen?

Yes...

Did you know to your predecessor's

comings and goings?

Yes, a little.

We have been well schooled.

Mads Oerbaek recognized that the United States

wanted to censor the Thule accident back in 1968...

and were looking for a missing object.

Do you have a comment?

We will cut the reaction out

but I would like a response.

It was certainly not what we agreed.

Give me a moment.

The next time you are here, you need to be here!

For I will fire away.

If you do, I'll not speak to you anymore.

You will be shut-off from sensitive topics.

There will be no more stories for you.

Yeah, but we're not talking to you anymore.

We will boycott you.

No more interviews, no photos, nothing.

I think we will stop here.

Wlk...

I can handle this.

I can handle this.

Yeah?

Yes.

Go on.

Mads Oerbaek confirmed that Americans

were looking for a missing object.

Does this mean that there is still a

Hydrogen bomb on the seabed at Thule?

Absolutely not.

And can you guarantee that?

Yes, I wasn't in Thule in 1968,

of course I cannot guarantee it.

Do you know of a secret agreement between

Denmark and the US about Thule?

No, of course there isn't one.

How do you know?

Well it's just not there.

Thanks.

Americans may well have had other thoughts.

I do not know.

But such things take always

a certain amount of time.

There's been nothing strange

over there last few months.

There was an accident during

an attempted emergency landing.

It was not planned over any country and

the route wasn't shown over Greenland.

So the government had certainty

that no overflights...

or landings occurred and that

no bombs were ever present?

It's clear.

Will you deny that there are flyovers

still with Hydrogen bombs?

Yes, I deny them.

The Americans know our nuclear policy...

I reject that there are overflights on Greenland...

and presence of such aircrafts

with such bombs over Greenland.

It's a matter of principle.

Danish position is indeed active.

We have said that we do not want

weapons and Denmark stands by it.

And I assume, it will be respected.

Poul Brink.

The agreement you were looking for...

I have it right here!

I'm sorry, who are you?

Where are you calling from?

From the State Department.

We gave the Americans, permission to

station nuclear weapons in Greenland.

Prime Minister, Hans Christian Hansen

gave them permission to do so in 1957.

Well...she seemed to be well-informed woman,

from the State Department.

From the State Department!?

Yes, that's what she claimed.

We take on the Foreign Minister again.

Can't take the Foreign Minister with an anonymous call!

Leddy said the same agreement existed!

So now we have two independent sources.

Maybe we can reveal that the last

40 years of foreign policy was a lie.

We must confront Helveg.

We need to maintain cordial relationships!

If Hans Hansen did it, he must have

forced it on the Foreign Policy Board.

It's forbidden by the constitution.

It makes me feel a bit indignant!

If it weren't true, we just run the story.

Others would pick-up and then we drive.

Niels Helveg?

Niels Helveg?

Was there an agreement between

Denmark and USA regarding Thule?

An agreement? I know there was a paper.

A paper?

Yeah.

A paper where Hans Christian Hansen contradicts

40 years of parliamentary decisions...!?

Giving the United States permission to fly

over and store nuclear weapons at Thule?

You have to think about this...

it was a different time.

Did USA take H.C.Hansen's paper?

I do not know.

Are there nuclear weapons in Greenland?

Of course there is not!

Why if it's a matter of course?

We have apparently given permission to do so.

I understand you have to meet

US Secretary of Defense.

Could you ask if they used Hansen's paper?

We have other things to talk about than history.

Do you want to ask if there is a Hydrogen

bomb out there in Thule, which may leak?

I think the matter has been fully investigated.

Investigated!?

Yes, investigated.

Could we see Hansen's letter?

Could we see Hansen's letter?

No, you may not.

And why not?

It's in the National Archives.

It's been sealed.

Thanks.

Yes...

Brink?

Is it important for the masses,

or is it just important to you?

I think, it is important for the masses.

Most people are only interested

in their children's schooling...

or making their old parent's

room in the hospital...not this.

That sounds reasonably arrogant.

I don't think so.

We have a representative democracy.

We are elected to lead the country.

A country should be managed.

But you think you lead and know everything?

You advocate chaos.

This is television news...

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs disclosed...

the secret permission given to US

to carry nuclear weapons in Greenland.

We have been waiting at the National Archives

in a day of rain for Hans Christian Hansen's letter.

Foreign Minister Niels Helveg Petersen disclosed

that the letter was in the National Archives.

The question is:

When will they let us in.

This is the fourth day, and we are

still outside the National Archives.

Danes will have to wait to see

H.C.Hansen's letter of 1957...

for Denmark to station a nuclear power,

though politicians claimed the opposite.
