Let me show you the ammo.
300 Whisper.
Feel it.
All the instructors want to borrow it.
We don't own it officially.
- You want to cancel your subscription?
- Yes!
Hello?
Mia, please don't scare off all the
subscribers. They do pay our salary.
Stupid people can grab
a free paper on the subway.
Back in the day they had
400 papers in New York alone.
We may not always have
three morning papers in Denmark.
We're doing a background feature
on civil disobedience.
The Resistance, the anti-nuclear
marches, '68, Greenpeace, squatters...
...G8, COP 15, and now
the resistance to the Arctic drillings.
with Borby last night.
We've got the government up against
the wall. How do we keep our edge?
Raise the issue of democracy.
Go into the environmental hazards,
the horse-trade.
Does the US need the climate fund?
No, but the Danish government does.
So we put the pressure on the
government and Thomas Borby.
- When is your flight?
- I want you back in the ring with him.
- No.
The way he dodged the issue
and made you out to be a terrorist...
...proves you're on to something.
You can't just up and leave.
You have a chance to change
the course of history.
Just stay until Thursday.
You'll get plenty of time with your kid
and oatmeal and dirty diapers.
I think Mia's got the message.
This is our chance to prove ourselves
as more than intellectual darlings.
Hey, fight for it.
Just until Thursday, okay?
Fight for it, Steffen!
You know how happy I am for you.
I don't have kids of my own,
but it must be wonderful.
Get to the point.
I checked the flights this morning,
and there's one for Kolkata on Thursday.
Your sister's here.
It's a lot to ask, but we're buying.
First-class, peanuts, white wine...
...and you won't arrive
with swollen ankles. What do you say?
You may not make it there in time.
If you miss that court appointment,
someone else will get the baby.
- But I'm going to arrive Thursday night.
- You need to be rested.
I'm used to tight deadlines.
I'll sleep on the plane. I'll be ready.
Have you made up your mind?
Yes.
I'm going to leave on Thursday.
- You're going to leave on Thursday.
- Thanks.
The foreign minister
will see you shortly.
- Mia Moesgaard.
- Hello.
You don't know me, but I saw you on TV,
and you said something important.
- I've got some info for you.
- Who is this?
- I agree with you.
- Thanks, but please tell me your name.
It's time to act. The government's
lying about the quantities.
Please tell me your name,
or I can't talk to you.
I thought I'd return your plants.
- Your plants.
- Sure.
- Hello?
- Sorry.
- Anything wrong?
- No.
- Any time.
I've repotted them.
They won't do it by themselves.
They're plants.
They haven't got any arms.
This one's got a little baby.
Anyway... thanks
for letting me look after them.
No, thank you.
Thanks. I thought you were
all set to go away and become a mom?
Well, we just opened the debate,
so let's finish it.
Can I tape this?
- Remember Schrder?
- Schrder?
He took pictures of us
in order to document police violence.
I found this in my drawer.
18 May, 1993.
The Maastricht Treaty.
That's you throwing that brick,
isn't it?
You do know what'll happen,
if you print that?
like you did last night on Deadline.
- Do you intend to print that picture?
- Of course not.
Let's agree that that was then,
and we've both moved on since.
Okay.
- Let's talk politics.
- Let's.
- So give me something.
- Mia, look.
You know politics better than most.
We choose our battles. It's not easy.
We didn't go to the polls on our
climate policy. It won us the election...
...but we'll be judged
on our welfare policy.
So anyone can be pro-climate,
as long as it doesn't hurt welfare?
Can I quote you on that?
Of course not.
We're convinced this deal was drafted
with the US during the campaign.
- You may think we aren't friends anymore.
- Let's not mix things up.
When did you start negotiations
with the Americans?
If this isn't
a new North Sea adventure...
...what's in it for the Americans?
No further comments.
Today's peaceful rally
against the oil deal...
...was marred by a few troublemakers.
The police had to intervene...
...when protesters started
throwing fireworks and bottles.
The police have arrested
20-25 protesters.
Friday sees
the ratification of the oil deal...
Peter!
- Are you okay?
- Look where you're going, man!
I was looking! You're riding with a kid.
Maybe you ought to be more careful.
What's going on?
- Get out of here!
- Let go!
THOMAS BORBY WON'T COMMEN Environmental expert Peter Hostrup
was shot at outside his home today.
Nobody was hurt...
...but the police say shots fired at his
car came from a high-caliber weapon.
The police have no suspects, but as
Hostrup is part of the Oil Quartet...
...the shooting could be related to the
public outrage against the deal...
...which is being ratified on Friday.
- Mia, follow up.
- I've seen it.
Do they know who took the shots?
- Mia Moesgaard.
- I'm sorry I hung up the other day.
- Who are you?
- Heard the news about Peter Hostrup?
- Yes.
- I've got some info for you.
- Can we meet?
- The Jaguar Bar on Holmbladsgade.
- Where are you going?
- I'll be back in an hour.
Don't look at me.
Just go.
Just keep driving.
We must get the government
to call off the drilling.
We must tell the public
about the quantities below the sea.
What do you mean "we"?
Sorry, but you can't use your phone.
I'm going to keep it here.
- What do you want?
- I want you to do your job.
Tell the public what they need to know.
That deal is a standard corporate deal.
No, the politicians and the
oil companies are deceiving us.
Print this.
Maps showing the fields and quantities
in our deal with the US.
against the deposits.
How?
- "Tipping point diagrams."
- It's a great story.
CO2 surveys, gas and oil deposits...
He thinks we're going to print this?
- Climate terrorist goes vigilante.
- We're calling him a terrorist?
Environmental activist then.
If it is him.
If we write about this, we might end up
hoping he'll carry out his threat.
Mia's the only one in the country
in contact with him. It's a scoop.
- We need to get an interview.
- He shot a climate expert.
No, he punctured two tires
and shattered a side-view mirror.
Are you sure this isn't just some loony
out to get his 15 minutes of fame?
He called me before shots were fired at
Peter Hostrup. He didn't say his name.
- Sure it was him?
- Pretty sure.
We have a kick-ass exclusive here.
Let's print excerpts of this...
We may have an exclusive in which
Mia provided the ideological fuel...
...for a potential terrorist,
about to open fire in the streets.
- Terrorist?
- That doesn't hurt the story.
No, but it might blow up in our face,
