You'll be safe here.

The break-in at your house... The police

says there was no sign of entering.

- And nothing was stolen?

- Not that I know of.

- How do you know someone was there?

- I'm certain of it.

Tell me one thing... Why break in

if you don't want to steal anything?

Information.

They've accessed my computer.

All right.

- Hello?

- Ingvild. Watching the news?

- No, why?

- Just put on Channel 2.

. . . It's a development our party has

warned against for years.

Does this mean you hold immigrant

groups responsible for the attack?

No.

My point is only that these events. . .

. . . Show that we need someone like

Einar Bergene in Norway today.

To drop the Adu case,

and Einar Bergene's. . .

- Hi. Have you seen Kristian?

- He's in there.

- Why aren't you taking the phone?

- Oh, I'm sorry...

I had to disconnect yesterday.

And that improvised press conference?

Einar wanted to thank people.

- Why was I not informed?

- You just said it...

It was improvised. The press came,

so we just played it by ear.

But to hold a press conference...

...and I'm the only one not present...

Don't overestimate

your own importance.

This is first and foremost about Einar.

This is Varg Veum.

I asked him to check a few things.

Shouldn't we rather

let the police do that?

I will only need 5 minutes of your time.

My schedule is full.

We're having a meeting now.

But see if Marianne can fit you in.

I have to go.

We'll speak later.

Let's see...

It was already tight,

and with all that has happened...

I understand.

That looks great. And perhaps you could

put the flyers on the table here.

Great.

I think that's it.

Excuse me...

You have 2 minutes?

- I have a meeting.

- We can talk on the way.

- You work with Marit Haug?

- Yes.

- I've been her assistant for 8 years.

- Then you must know her well.

- Has she mentioned being stalked?

- She's not one to complain.

What do you think then?

Is she inventing?

Is that what you get paid for?

Snoop around and talk sh*t about her?

- Why should she invent it?

- The police says...

They've never believed her.

Not even when...

When?

They say she's made groundless reports.

She's been terrorized for 2 years!

By Trond Rogn.

Rogn is a former party member.

I've just been to the hospital.

They've put Eva in artificial coma

to give the body some rest.

They will not know more

before tomorrow.

I'm sorry.

Shall we then postpone the convention?

Well...

What's happened is a tragedy.

And my heart goes out to Einar and Eva.

But this might take time.

How can we postpone such an important...

Einar is one of two candidates.

It is unfair to go ahead

with the election now.

Marit scores 60% in all opinion polls,

and more within the party.

So why pretend Einar is a contender?

Out of respect for

a competent colleague?

We will not decide on this now.

Have you read Jan Arild's note?

To say such things before the police

gets back to us, will not seem serious.

We only express

what people are thinking.

- We must take people seriously.

- You're accusing all immigrants!

Did you see this report?

A majority sees the attack

as a result of

a failed immigration policy.

We must respond to that!

They are our electorate.

Black granite, imported from Russia.

Fantastic quality.

Fully polished. Will last for ever.

- Are you Trond Rogn?

- Trond Emil Rogn.

Varg Veum. I want to ask you

about Marit Haug.

At NPP's national convention. Marit

was host and I was regional leader.

The youth section was there,

so we partied a bit.

At the afterparty this black guy

had managed to get in.

He made a fuss, and

a heavy political debate followed.

So one of us had to throw him out.

Later the same night,

he turned up again.

In the harbour, drowned.

You may remember the story.

I got connected to it, and that

bloody c*nt claimed it was my doing.

What bullshit. I mean,

the case got dismissed.

I was excluded from the party.

Two years later I had to move,

I was stigmatised as a killer.

- See what I mean?

- And you started terrorising her?

I'd rather say harassing.

And I did harass her quite a bit.

I was quite bitter then.

Then I went to Russia, got a new life.

Is doesn't bother you that Marit Haug

might be the future prime minister?

- You got back?

- 6 months ago.

Things go well?

You have a lot of stone.

You know what?

People die all the time.

Thanks.

- Look who's coming...

- I could feel the smell.

- I realised that.

- Sitting comfortably?

Look at that...

- Perfect shooting range.

- Yes, it was a good choice.

Great view, no cameras.

Just shoot and leave.

- What did he use?

- A FAL rifle.

- Trond Emil Rogn.

- What a face.

Former NPP member. Excluded after

claims of racist violence.

Marit Haug was behind it.

He gets back to her, stalks her.

She reports it, to no avail.

But then...

Then Rogn moves to Russia,

and the harassment stops.

Two months ago

she feels stalked again.

Curiously at the same time as Rogn

decided to move back home.

Rogn is a trained Home Guard soldier.

He could easily handle a FAL rifle.

Trond Rogn was not in town

during the attack.

He got back late last night.

Thanks for looking out for me,

but that was old hat.

We distrust Marit Haug because she made

a false statement. Rogn had an alibi.

With the trajectory from here

you simply can't miss.

What does that show?

It was an amateur...

Someone who overreacted

after the Adu case.

- You know what I think?

- No!

I think that suits you fine.

A mad perpetrator, of foreign origin,

is the perfect solution

for you right now.

Bastard...

That bloody idiot.

- He will use this for all it's worth.

- Ingvild, relax.

Our position is safe no matter

how much Jan Arild gets out of this.

People want us to get into government.

With Einar that is impossible.

I just can't stand

to see you treated like this.

Oh, Ingvild...

It's okay. I can handle it.

- I think this is a bit...

- Yes, you...

- Could I get a word with you?

- Sure.

- Just you.

- Okay. Will you clean it up?

Why didn't you tell me

about Trond Emil Rogn?

- Who told you about...

- Listen, Marit.

I would have found out in any case.

I apologise.

It was stupid not to tell you.

The police says you made

a false statement?

I was convinced I saw him.

But he had an alibi.

He had been with Einar.

As if that can be called an alibi!

Trond Emil and Einar were

best friends even then.

- For all I know they were in on it.

- Did you smear him on purpose?

Trond Emil fronted extreme views

that would have destroyed the party.

Just to recap, Einar Bergene dislikes

you because his friend got excluded.

This was years ago.

It's all forgotten.

- Was it Trond Emil who?

- No.

He has already

been cleared by the police.

The last polls give Einar

a jump to 47 per cent.

Just a phase of sympathy.

Or people are starting to realise

his views are not so extreme.

- They are not part of our program.

- Perhaps they should be?
