THE SHOOTER:
- Town Office, Hanne speaking.
- I'm calling about my postal vote.
- Social security number, please?
- 271166-1883.
One moment, please.
This election is important,
don't you agree?
- Yes. Your vote has been registered.
- Great. Thanks.
The climate change in recent years
has made an impression on Danes.
The opposition is thundering ahead...
...a 50% increase in oil prices.
Denmark must drill for oil in the sea,
or Greenland will look elsewhere...
And now on to a hot subject
during this election.
The oil drillings in Greenland. Should
or shouldn't we drill for oil there?
Yes or no?
Becoming independent of oil is the
greatest issue our generation faces.
What are we talking about?
The survival of our planet.
A reduced demand for oil isn't enough.
We must reduce the exploration.
We won't allow Danish state companies
to drill for oil. That's for sure.
The voters have spoken:
Martin Felding is to form Denmark's
new green cabinet and may become PM.
We'll release the roster on Tuesday.
Are you the new climate
and energy minister?
I'm very passionate about climate
issues, but let's wait and see.
- Thomas Borby, our new foreign minister?
- I can't comment on that.
Welcome, Mia Moesgaard, political
commentator with the Morning Paper.
Your comments
on the new government?
It'll be interesting to see...
...if they can live up to the
climate policy that got them elected.
7 MONTHS LATER
- Watching the news?
- I'm on my way up.
Turn on your TV.
We have reached an agreement today
between the Danish government...
...Greenland and the oil industry.
Negotiations have taken place
behind closed doors...
...and come as a surprise to both
Danish and American commentators.
The deal includes
a consortium and a climate fund.
The consortium, made up of Denmark,
the US and Greenland, will be drilling...
...in North Greenland close to Station
North, Denmark's northern-most base.
But Foreign Minister Thomas Borby is
more excited about the climate fund.
Means derived from the oil profits
will be set aside for a fund...
...to protect the environment.
Getting the US to commit to a green deal
makes me one happy foreign minister.
The deal will make Denmark less
dependent on unstable oil states...
...and create more jobs, according
to the government's press release.
A trilateral treaty will be ratified
on Friday in Copenhagen.
The American foreign minister will stop
in Copenhagen on her European tour...
...to throw light on the deal.
MONDAY:
Denmark is dependent
on military alliances in the Arctic.
Only we saw this coming.
Mia did the research, and
she should have a go at the minister.
- When is she leaving?
- Tomorrow.
But this is going to be a hot topic
until they ratify the treaty on Friday.
- I'm leaving tomorrow.
- Guess you'll bring the kid round?
- You like kids?
- Sure.
This is the worst time possible.
DR wants you on Deadline.
I need you. You're the best. It's all
about the government's flip flop.
It's a debate with Thomas Borby.
Give him hell.
Ask him why they lied.
- I have to pack.
- I'll pack your suitcase for you.
It's not such a bad thing
Mia...
I'll do it.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
- You're on maternity leave now.
- I have to get used to that phrase.
- Have you had time to prepare?
- I've done my best.
So you're ready?
Well, I've packed 36 boxes of formula.
Toys, baby clothes and some gifts
for the women at the orphanage.
I just got off the phone with them.
They're ready for you.
You have a court appointment there on
Friday, and then you'll get to meet her.
Yes.
Welcome to Copenhagen.
The local time is 2:15 p.m.
Let me, Dad.
political commentator Mia Moesgaard...
...and Foreign Minister Thomas Borby.
Let's go over the facts.
Here, in North Eastern Greenland,
deep below the sea is our new oil field.
Albeit no new North Sea adventure,
the government says it's promising.
Mia Moesgaard, you're skeptical about
Thomas Borby's deal with the US. Why?
You win an election on a green agenda.
A year later you go back on all that.
- Peter Hostrup has made it clear...
- The government's climate expert.
This deal enables us, by using the oil
there, to convert to green energy...
...on a scale otherwise unimaginable
in the light of the global crisis.
The deal creates new Danish jobs...
...and makes us independent
of unstable oil states.
Moesgaard, this deal sounds
like a win-win situation.
But they were elected on the promise
of not going anywhere near that oil...
...and their arguments were...
...that rising CO2 emissions pose a
threat globally and not just to Denmark.
I think many people would say you're
lobotomizing democracy, Thomas Borby.
- Are you lobotomizing democracy, Borby?
- That's an insane allegation.
Negotiations have been steamrolled...
...over the heads of the voters...
...and the ensuing frustration
may result in violent reactions.
Should you have given it more time?
- Violent reactions as in extreme?
- I didn't say that.
Are you encouraging riots
or worse?
- I didn't say that, Thomas Borby.
- No, but you thought it.
Mia Moesgaard, are you in fact
encouraging riots and violent methods...
...as part of a political struggle?
Is that your job as a reporter...
No, but you can't disregard the way
History has shown repeatedly that voters
who feel muzzled shout louder.
We'll see if anyone takes you up
on that. Thank you both for coming.
- You did great.
- I was vague and too personal.
No, you were sharp and passionate.
- Stop by on your way to the airport.
- Sure.
- Mia Moesgaard.
- How dare you?
- Excuse me?
- Encouraging violence on TV?
- Shame on you.
- But...
Hello?
Shortly after meeting
with the American foreign minister...
...Thomas Borby met with three other
principle players behind the oil deal:
Environmental expert Peter Hostrup,
Climate and Energy Minister Lvschall...
...and Steen Birger Brask, Dan Oil.
Critics dub them the Oil Quartet.
- Hey, Sis.
- Leaving tomorrow?
Yes.
Don't you have school tomorrow?
You're never home, so we wanted
to catch you before your trip.
We've got a gift for the new cousin.
I just saw Deadline.
Thomas was really far out.
- Can we bring the pictures?
- Sure.
This is for the baby,
and this is your baby shower gift.
- I haven't even left yet.
- No, but you're on maternity leave.
- Can we play on your computer?
- Sure, if you know how to switch it on.
She's so cute.
Are you nervous?
I was so scared
when I was expecting my first child.
I imagined...
... I'd give birth to some weird monster.
Everything's going to be alright.
Sure.
I'm getting cold.
TUESDAY:
- I haven't quite got it.
- Relax your shoulder.
Hell, Rasmus.
Long time.
One year, Detlev.
Come see our new gear.
Look at this.
