In view of these circumstances,

it is absurd...

to be sitting here discussing

my private life.

But the reason we do that...

is because... a local newspaper...

found it suitable to print an article

which claims I have

a secret relationship

with party secretary Ingvild Steen.

There is nothing secret about

my relationship with Ingvild Steen.

She does an incredible job.

And we have been friends for years.

And as good friends it happens

we give each other a hug.

So I would like to make it clear

once and for all...

I am not gay.

And I've not dated Sweden's

Crown princess as some claim.

So... any questions?

Varg!

A tipster claims Marit Haug has made

private use of parliamentary funds.

I will not print it.

This whole thing stinks.

- Who handed in the tip?

- I don't know.

Wait!

I think it might be an insider.

- Within the party... Bergene?

- From his side.

It's no secret there's an ongoing

power game within the party.

But if this is true,

then it's totally crazy.

Thanks, Alex.

Take it as anonymous tip.

That was quite a performance.

How can you be the leader of a party

that refuses to accept you as you are?

It's about more

than just sexual orientation.

Do you realise how hard

I've worked to get where I am?

Hard enough to renounce on love.

To live as a lesbian couple...

...is totally incompatible with

the leadership of a party like ours.

You're only nave

if you can't see that.

- There are more important things.

- Such as?

A chance to change society,

make it a safer...

Power.

The power to achieve things, yes!

Send me an invoice for your services.

Eva Bergene is dead,

lbrahim Checu is dead...

What happens in your bedroom

is totally irrelevant, all right?

A source claims the pictures were

planted by someone in the party.

And thinks it could be Bergene.

- He doesn't have the guts!

- Listen...

If the burglar and the gunman

is the same person...

- I refuse to believe this!

- Was it the same guy?

Yes!

I don't really know any more...

Chin up.

Come with me.

I want you to sit here...

See if you recognize the woman

who gave you the message.

Use this.

His name wasn't Isak,

but lbrahim Checu, right?

He was hired for an attack

and you took him to the church.

You helped him find a hideout,

and you informed Marit Haug.

Please! I have a little girl in Russia.

Let me be.

The best thing you can do is

to tell me what happened.

You didn't know what

this was about, perhaps.

I don't know anything.

- What do you want?

- Ask your girl a few things.

She's my wife.

Go inside.

Perhaps I should ask you instead?

About what?

Isak Bala...

It doesn't sound familiar?

What about lbrahim Checu?

- Get the hell out of here.

- So that you knew...

Go!

Get the hell out of here!

- You OK?

- Did you see him?

- Trond Emil.

- They're married!

Trond Rogn must be

the man behind Checu.

The attack and the press leak

are connected.

- It's all a political game!

- It wasn't her.

It has to be. She's part of the Network

and he's your old political enemy.

But it wasn't the girl I saw.

Are you protecting someone?

Ingvild perhaps?

- I must think of the convention.

- What is this?

It's not my job to solve this.

The police can do it.

Or you.

FOR A SAFER FUTURE

- Is it Trond Emil?

- Yes. And Einar.

You have to find out

if there's a connection.

Check their mail...

See if you can check

Einar's and Jan Arild's mail.

You want me to check all their mails?

Marit... What's going on?

- Ingvild, you must help me.

- I can't do it.

Please...

All right.

User. Jan Arild Sanne

Hi!

From. Kristian Fredriksen.

To. Jan Arild Sanne.

Einar Bergene's speech

- Marit?

- Hi. Could you come up?

- I must show you something.

- Coming.

"Dear friends.

A week ago my life was changed."

"I was the victim of an attack."

Look at the date.

Einar's speech was written

before the attack.

- Have you taken a copy of this?

- Yes.

I'm calling the police.

- No, don't.

- What?

We must think. One wrong step

could harm the entire party.

You can't withhold this.

We've worked so hard to get here!

Should we let this destroy everything?

Lying just creates more lies.

We just have to find

the right strategy.

We'll talk about this later.

We're in the middle of our convention.

You can't come here.

I can't come here?

Two people are dead. It's not

a good idea to run your own game.

If you have anything specific,

I suggest you go to the police.

Dear colleagues.

Dear friends.

Less than a week ago something

happened which changed my life for ever.

I was the victim of an attack.

An attack that became fatal to my wife.

I lost the one person who...

...who...

I lost the one person who

is dearest to me.

Next to my little daughter Kajsa.

But I know that Eva would have wished

that I continue my life in politics.

That is also what I have decided to do.

Elena?

- You must see a doctor.

- No. No doctor, no police.

I know Trond is behind all this.

He forced you to hide Checu, didn't he?

He said I never would

see my daughter again.

- This is all my fault!

- No, this is not your fault.

Elena...

Thank you.

- Isak, he...

- Ibrahim Checu, you mean.

He came after the shooting, terrified.

He had to leave Norway.

He wanted to give

information to Marit Haug.

- Why?

- He needed money.

I wanted to help him, but Trond

forced me to tell where he was.

Why didn't you go to the police?

In two months we will have been

married for three years.

Then I can get a divorce and have

my daughter come from Russia.

She's only 10 years old.

She has no one to rely on.

What the f*** have you said?!

She didn't have to say much.

I found a lot at your office.

Damned...

F***ing hell!

You f***ing bastard!

The perfect plan.

A fake attack...

...to give Bergene sympathy.

And then slander Marit Haug.

You call upon an expert shot

who pretends to miss

but stays in full control.

A masterly plan!

- You can't prove it!

- No, but the police can!

As the amateur you are, you left

a treasure trove for the technicians.

Because you had to fight

to kill that guy, huh?

You'll be nailed for the attack

and two murders. But tell me.

Did you operate alone?

Was it your plan?

Was it Bergene?

He provided an alibi, but will you

sacrifice everything for him?

I won't say a f***ing word!

- Want one?

- No thanks.

How is Kajsa doing?

Fine. Under the circumstances.

I don't know...

- How much she understands of it.

- Right. These things take time.

You have a difficult time ahead of you.

I would like you to step down.

It would be the best for your family,

and for the party.

That's absurd!

- The whole party is behind me.

- It has to be this way.

You will do it

for the best of your family...

- And wish Marit...

- Why?

Einar, your time will come.

But if you want a future

in this party...

...then you'll do exactly as I say.

Einar has come to the conclusion

that he after all...

...is not strong enough to stand
