if we're not careful.
- Go get the editor-in-chief's permission.
- Shut the f*** up.
- Hvid is away, so I make the decisions.
- You sure do.
- Let's find a number cruncher for this.
- I'll call Holger.
And, Mia, look into the possibility
for an interview with the shooter.
I'll never call you a wuss again.
You're a modern-day newspaperman.
- You call the shots.
- Jesper, you're fired.
- I should've asked for his number.
- Your ticket is ready.
I keep my promises,
and I appreciate this.
North Eastern Greenland is a risky
area because of ice and isolation.
But this summer the Arctic may be free
of ice, posing an even bigger problem.
No ice will give easy access to the oil.
If there are huge quantities,
which there in theory could be...
...it will mean higher CO2 emissions
and escalate the situation.
Extreme weather conditions are
becoming a global problem.
- And Borby's climate fund...
- What about it?
In my book he has a double agenda.
He wants to shift
public focus to a positive thing.
A drilling hole is a drilling hole.
I smell big-time politics.
- Thanks, Holger. See you tomorrow.
- See you. Bye.
- Mia Moesgaard.
Why don't you write I contacted you?
Why don't you publish my reports?
We only met a few hours ago.
Just hold my figures
up against the politicians'.
We're double-checking your info.
You shoot and bring people in mortal
danger. Why should they listen to you?
Why shouldn't they?
I think they will.
- Can I interview you?
- No.
I'm not important.
Hold my figures
up against the politicians'.
Let the public decide.
You can't make demands on me
nor my paper unless you cooperate.
The clock is ticking.
WEDNESDAY:
Good morning.
Bye.
Frida, let's go home.
Christian!
Christian Lvschall,
are you happy...
...with your ministry's influence
on the climate deal with the US?
It's a green deal,
and we're very happy with that.
What's up?
Is it the deal you wished for?
The environment is a top priority
in the deal...
...and we're very happy with that.
POLICE:
We have to tell parents their children
have been shot at. This isn't Denmark.
The shooting incident took place
less than an hour ago in Copenhagen.
We were walking along with the children,
and then we met the lady with the dog...
...and the children wanted to pat the
dog, and suddenly we hear a crack.
They're calling him a terrorist.
Did he call?
- Rasmus?
- I've run out. Can you spare a little?
You're in luck.
I was about to wash a load myself.
- Let's hear your expert opinion, Holger.
- We're looking at huge quantities.
- How huge?
- Very huge. If these figures are true.
Some of it looks confidential.
Where did you get it?
Sorry, my source is anonymous.
- Sum it up for me. How huge?
- I need time to work it out.
- I'll get you some coffee. Milk?
- No, black.
Hvid is "pondering"
and reading up on the press laws.
Pondering my ass. Our only problem is
that we haven't written about it yet!
Someone who's been in contact with
our paper is on a shooting rampage.
How did this contact come about?
He called Mia and said
someone had to act.
After the Hostrup shooting he called
back, and she tried to reason with him.
- Obviously in vain.
- Did Mia contact him?
She's met him.
It's her job.
If he calls again, we're going to try to
set up an interview. This story is hot.
We aren't at liberty to protect a source
who risks over four years of prison.
He shot a dog, for Christ's sake.
You don't get four years for that.
We met with a man who attacks
politicians, and we hushed it up.
No one is ever going to give us
another story, if they go to the police.
Mia, your phone.
Sh*t!
- It's of interest to our readers.
- Sure, but we mustn't politicize.
- Mia, they want you on Debate Night.
- Who else?
- The climate and energy minister.
- Gutsy.
Steen Birger Brask from Dan Oil
and a Greenpeace spokesman.
We'll do it.
Hvid isn't sure about our contact with
the shooter, so we'll have to stall.
Stall? Well, that'll sell
a shitload of papers!
- Coffee.
- Thanks.
My source mentioned
the finance ministry.
What does it mean that the decision to
drill was made in the finance ministry?
Well, 76% of the state oil company
are owned by the finance ministry.
Who's strongest?
The climate and energy minister
or the finance minister?
The same person shot
at Peter Hostrup and Kiki Lvschall.
He's a good marksman,
so we've looked at rifle clubs.
War veterans.
We've infiltrated
the militant activists...
...but haven't come across
these methods.
We're probably looking
at a single-issue activist...
...and that means
he could be anyone.
You're not worried, are you?
If we are on this madman's hit list,
as the intelligence service believes.
I don't know. I've never tried
anything like this before.
No. Well, I've been posted
in both Brazil and Nigeria.
There, death threats come with the job.
Usually they're just out
to rattle our cage.
And I have bodyguards,
so I'll be fine.
Sure.
40 activists were arrested
after the pincer movement.
Still the situation escalated,
and an hour ago 60 more...
Excuse me.
- Mia Moesgaard.
- They listen to you.
- What's all that racket?
- Can I interview you?
- Now?
No, face to face.
Maybe.
Hello?
...as extensive as the riots after
the Maastricht Treaty vote in 1993.
- Yes.
- It's Holger.
- If I say 900 million cubic meters...
- Is that a lot?
It's three times Denmark's current
oil reserves in the North Sea.
We're talking gigantic quantities.
Thanks, Holger.
Don't use those figures. We need
two independent verified sources.
Two sources. We know Holger, but
we don't know the other guy, damn it.
Stick to the subject,
but don't wave any figures about.
Nrrebro is a battleground,
and several arrests have been made.
Let me remind you...
...that the American foreign minister
is flying in in two days...
...to ratify the oil treaty.
her henchmen...
Oh, come on!
...that these acts of violence
are unacceptable.
Mia Moesgaard, your part in all this...
Don't you feel responsible at all?
No. I find the situation alarming too...
...and I respect the climate minister
for participating today.
But it's my job as a reporter...
...to ask the politicians the questions
the voters want answered.
- Like this:
How much oil did you find?- Lvschall.
I can't say exactly...
...but the quantities are big enough...
...for us to uphold our end of the deal.
How many cubic meters?
Christian Lvschall, care to answer?
Attempts to pinpoint exact figures...
I trust the experts when they say
the quantities aren't huge.
What do the Americans
get in return for the fund?
A piece of the Danish oil revenues?
Want to talk somewhere else?
No.
Going somewhere?
Sit down.
- I'll record it...
- No, please take notes.
