The Russian president confirms Russia left all oil and gas plants in Norway -
- in accordance with the peace treaty signed with the EU.
Jesper Berg appears confident he has a parliamentary majority -
- to become prime minister until the next general election.
Norway has been without a government since the killing of PM Anita Rygh.
- He can't govern Norway again. - Why not?
He's just going to make the same mistake again.
Aren't things different now that the EU is going to defend Norwegian sovereignty?
Sure, so long as Norway delivers oil and gas to the EU.
That's in direct opposition to Jesper Berg's agenda.
The problems started when Berg stopped oil production.
As you surely understand -
- parliament wants you to form a new government.
But there are some things we have to clear up first.
- Jesper. - Rudi?
Jesper and I, we go way back.
As young men, we were both engaged in preserving nature, weren't we?
Now you're just engaged in preserving the Union.
I invited Mr. Teichmann here today because the Union is concerned -
- you might want to renegotiate the terms of the peace treaty.
That treaty was signed when the country was without a legitimate government.
Well, whatever the circumstances -
- the conditions of Russia's withdrawal -
- were that Norway would maintain our oil and gas supplies -
- and that production would be restarted immediately.
Jesper...
I hope you're OK with that?
Of course.
Great. Then I look forward to seeing you back in office.
I have another demand, Jesper.
That you make the vice president your secretary of state.
She knows everything about the peace treaty.
Grete Sundby?
Weren't you the country's youngest chief of police?
Yes, I was.
Great. She can keep an eye on me, then.
OCCUPIED
MARCH
Why am I being recalled as ambassador to Norway?
Miss Sidorova, these are the president's orders.
The contacts I have here could be more useful than ever.
I'm the most popular Russian in Norway.
To the Norwegians, you've become the face of the occupation.
Does this have anything to do with my private life?
No, it doesn't.
I'd really like to hear the truth.
We just want you to come home.
Good.
She has a lot of potential. Before long, she'll be one of my best students.
Play something for me.
- What's wrong? - Things aren't going as planned.
We're going to live much better than we do here.
Yeah, but we wanted to raise our child here, not Moscow.
Do you want to hide the truth your whole life?
You're so naive.
You didn't keep your word, Ira. You lied to me.
How did you think we were going to get by?
How were we going to raise a child? I have nothing here.
And they're offering me a post at UNESCO.
You're the one who's naive.
They'll never accept that you have a relationship with a woman.
MELKØYA GAS INSTALLATION
Nice edits, but I can't say this.
- What's the problem? - The whole talk.
It seems like I'm celebrating the oil and gas revival.
OK. Cross out everything about oil and gas -
- and just focus on us being free from the Russians.
- What's the CEO's name? - Harald Aasbakk.
Can we ask him to come here?
Yeah, but it's too late to back out now.
Do you know what the prime minister said to me?
He didn't think it was possible to start gas production -
- just two weeks after the Russians withdrew.
But we managed, didn't we, thanks to you all -
- bringing the plant online in record time.
Now we can wake the dragon from his short nap.
Control room, let's go.
The capacity of this single gas plant -
- can heat 3.3 million German households a year.
We're going to be Europe's most important energy supplier -
- for the foreseeable future!
We'll show them we can do at least as well as we did under Russian leadership.
Come on!
Get in the car!
Drive!
56 confirmed dead and many critically injured -
- after a powerful explosion at the Melkøya plant at noon today.
The explosion occurred a short time after gas production was restarted.
Operations had been stopped in the twelve days -
- since the Russians handed control back to Norwegian authorities.
How many is it?
Many of the victims are Norwegian workers and journalists -
- gathered for the reopening of the plant.
CEO Harald Aasbakk is among the victims.
Aasbakk was giving an inaugural speech when the explosion occurred.
The prime minister was also there for the ceremony.
Reporter Atle Isakstuen is outside Hammerfest hospital -
- a few kilometers from the scene of the accident.
Do you know anything about the cause of the explosion?
The explosion was likely due to a leak in a propane facility.
Prime Minister Jesper Berg, you were there for the opening.
Can you tell us more about the cause of this leak?
No, I'm just thinking about all the people who didn't make it out.
All the people coming here with horrific injuries.
Investigations will show whether someone sabotaged the plant.
Are you thinking of someone in particular?
We know the software didn't behave as expected.
The Russians installed the software before they left the country.
We may need to stop all production on the Norwegian continental shelf -
- until we have replaced all the Russian software.
What do you say to Berg's accusation that Russia was behind the explosion?
Those are accusations he has failed to back up with the facts.
There is no truth to them. Quite frankly, I hope and expect -
- that EU will show more respect for evidence than Mr. Berg.
If not, the entire peace treaty will be jeopardized.
Miss Sidorova, the car is waiting.
What does this mean for Russia's relationship with the EU?
Russia is not a terrorist state. I refuse to answer those insinuations.
- Why are we using the back door? - This isn't about you, Ljuba.
The Russian government extends our condolences to the victims' families.
This tragic accident occurred after the Norwegians restarted gas production.
Please. Not now. There are photographers everywhere.
Yeah, and we'll have to hide in Moscow, too.
The Russian press attaché just released a statement -
- strongly denying that Russia was involved in the explosion.
Please, close the window.
Hey, the explosion was not an accident.
I believe the Russian government is responsible.
Drive!
Do you have evidence to back these beliefs?
You have no idea what you've done!
I know that I'm not going back.
I'm sorry. It was a slip-up.
Please, it was just a slip-up.
You need to distance yourself from her. We'll take care of her.
Stop the car when you can.
And turn off your phone for a couple hours, please.
Get ready.
Russia has blood on its hands.
Berg blames Russian software for the explosion.
He avoided me at the party. You know why. I should have never...
Shut it, you Russian fuck! What are you babbling about?
- Can I get my phone back? - Shut up.
Are you going to blow up the train?
I really need that. Please!
Speak Norwegian, you cunt.
Can somebody help me? Hey, stop!
Filthy Russians! They should have the sense to leave.
They can go to hell.
When I ask if you guys in Justice have access to all Russians in Norway -
- with names, addresses, and contact info...
We get that from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or Rolf.
Sorry, what's the purpose of such a registry?
The purpose is to have an overview.
To inform them of their rights, among other things.
If we call it a registry, that violates the peace treaty.
It violates the peace treaty parliament signed with the EU -
- to get them out. We're talking about protecting them.
THE MINISTRY OF JUSTICE
What does the prime minister think of his new secretary of state?
Sundby? She seems nice.
Not as hot as Anita Rygh, though.
Hello?
Hello, Mrs. Djupvik. This is Irina Sidorova.
I need your advice as a lawyer.
My girlfriend and me were asked to present ourselves at the police station -
- regarding her statement to the press about the explosion.
I see.
So I was going to ask if you think I should bring a lawyer.
Irina, if I continue this conversation, I could be charged with misconduct.
I understand, but there is no one I can trust but you.
OK, but if you're worried, you should bring an immigration attorney.
- I see. - Good luck.
What did she say?
They're going to arrest us -
- force us to testify against Russia, and throw us out of the country.
Forgive me! I can say I was lying.
It's better that I accept responsibility -
- and you go to the Sorokin family in Germany.
But what if they send you to Moscow? What will we do then?
- Do you want a glass of water? - Uh-huh.
- Yes? - I need help.
Take her to Gardermoen. It will be fine.
Die! You betrayed the fatherland!
Police! Stop!
MOSCOW
- Where are we going? - Voyevoda Palace.
Again?
Maja...
Konstantin? Hi.
Do you remember me? From Norway?
Miss Norum? What are you doing here in Moscow?
I live here. Yeah.
I'm here with my daughter Maja. Do you want to...
- You can join us if you'd like. - OK.
The new government is very anti-Russian.
The business sector is doing poorly, so I decided to try my luck here instead.
Forget it, Bente. No foreigner has ever made it here.
I'm just taking one day at a time.
This place is amazing. Nikolaj talked so much about it.
Yeah, we have shared some late nights here.
Do you see him a lot these days?
Sometimes, at work. When he's not traveling.
- Have you seen Gorkij Park? - Yes.
- Yeah, it's beautiful. - It's even more beautiful at night.
- Really? - Yeah, I can show you.
What if we brought Nikolaj with us?
Wouldn't that be fun? Like an Oslo reunion.
Do you want me to call him?
- Does he live far away? - No.
Why don't we just swing by? We can surprise him.
- OK, I'll run up and get him. - I'll do it.
- What's the apartment number? - It's 55.
- Hi. - Hi.
- How did you find my address? - We met Konstantin.
He's outside waiting in his car. Maybe you want to come for a ride?
To Gorkij Park. We can go skating.
I'd love to, but I'm sorry, I'm busy.
- I'm the one who should say sorry. - Don't worry about it.
- Who is it? - Don't you have homework?
So where are you staying?
- Pacai Hotel. - OK.
Is there a link between the attack and Sidorova's girlfriend's statement?
The police are investigating the case.
But they've confirmed that the poison used against Sidorova -
- is the same neurotoxin often used by Russian intelligence.
Is it true that Russia asked for her extradition?
I have no comment on that.
Hi.
- Hi. - Hi.
- I have a kind of embarrassing question. - I love embarrassing questions.
I'm going on a date with a guy from Syria.
I don't know him, so I was wondering -
- if I can get a background check on him.
- Are you comfortable with that? - Yeah.
- What's his name? - Farid Masour.
Masour...
No, there's no one in Norway with that name.
There isn't?
OK, no date for him, then. Thanks.
Status To be deported
Search results: 117,896 people To be deported
- Did the Minister of Justice send you? - No, I'm here of my own accord.
You have to bring it to the secretary first.
Mr. Speaker...
Mr. Speaker, the government is working to acquire oversight -
- over all Russian citizens in Norway -
- to inform them of their rights.
Speaker, I know that many Russians are both afraid and skeptical of this.
I have a child with a Russian woman. I know what I'm talking about.
Speaker, that's a completely unfounded concern.
The police must have oversight over these citizens in order to protect them.
Are there other reasons behind this Russian registry?
Mr. Speaker, what are you getting at?
Are you trying to enact a mass deportation?
Mr. Speaker.
The Justice Department is investigating whether the police will be able -
- to evacuate these citizens if, and I mean if -
- the situation arises where these citizens are harmed by Norwegians.
The Prime Minister is saying something different now.
Why don't you put your cards on the table?
What you're referring to is a complete derailment.
It has absolutely nothing to do with the government's request -
- to register citizens of Russian origin in Norway.
Unlike the PM, the database of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs doesn't lie.
The Prime Minister has tried to mislead parliament.
Therefore, I suggest that Prime Minister Berg -
- does not have the trust of parliament, and ask for a vote as soon as possible.
The Minister of Justice is wondering if we want to proceed with the registry.
I'll talk to the Minister of Justice without you present.
Why did Bull insist that I take you on as secretary of state?
I think he wanted to get rid of me.
I don't think so.
- Do you think I warned Bull? - Yes.
I saw a lot of things in parliament that I didn't like.
Oh yeah?
During the occupation, they worked with Sidorova.
- By "they" you mean Bull? - Not just him.
All of parliament. I did, too.
We met regularly.
Many of the decisions were dictated by Sidorova.
- She's been unconscious the whole time? - Yes.
Talk to her, though. It could have a positive effect.
I think you can hear me.
You manipulative bitch.
Listen, if you want to stay in this country -
- you must testify to your conversations with parliament during the occupation.
If you don't -
- we'll expel you to Russia immediately, regardless of your condition.
I will give the evidence.
But I won't testify officially.
That's OK. Anything else?
You have to guarantee that I'll be allowed to stay in Norway -
- until the authorities establish who was behind the attack.
You have my word.
That's not enough.
You have to make it public.
Prime Minister, how is Irina Sidorova doing?
Much better than the reporters are saying.
Are the Russians behind the poisoning of Sidorova?
- She'll have full protection in Norway. - Did the doctors confirm it was poison?
THE SUPREME COURT
- Is that the Prime Minister? - Good morning, Margaret.
I'm looking at your grandfather here. Bit of a character.
He shut down the whole court in protest of the German occupation.
But the situation was very different in 1940.
Both you and parliament were sitting when the Russians came.
I didn't know that parliament was working with the Russians the whole time.
- Did you know that? - No, and I don't believe it.
Sidorova dictated the law for fast-tracking citizenship for Russians.
- You have to push the bill by next week. - But that leaves us no time for...
I can only recruit qualified Russian candidates for the gas sector -
- if you offer them Norwegian citizenship immediately. It's in the best interest...
I can't live with a parliament that did this.
- But we can't dissolve parliament. - I think you can, though.
We don't have a mechanism for dissolution in Norway.
The government's council thinks you can invoke an emergency resolution.
An emergency resolution has never been used to dismiss elected officials.
I can't see this as anything but treason.
You'll never convince 19 supreme court justices of this.
Something in that recording suggests you knew about what happened.
It would be nice if people looked at a picture of you -
- and thought, "She did what was right for her country."
There's a friend here who wants to see you.
- You almost killed me. - But I didn't.
- Did you hear from Ljuba? - No. Did you?
I talked to a contact in Germany. She never arrived there.
Great. Thank you.
- Hi. - Hi.
Is she ready?
She's chatting with Hedda. At least, I hope it's Hedda.
- Andrea? - Coming.
- Hello, this is Irina Sidorova. - Hi, how are you?
- My girlfriend Ljuba has disappeared. - Where from?
I arranged for her to go to Germany, but she never arrived.
Have you called the police?
No. I don't trust them.
You have to. They will report her to Interpol as a missing person.
No.
Everything OK?
That was Sidorova. Her girlfriend disappeared.
Do you know anything about it?
- Have a good day. - Have a good day.
- Hi! - Hey, pal.
OK, have a good one.
- I can check. - Thank you.
In the interest of national security, the supreme court -
- has adopted a temporary resolution on the Norwegian parliament.
The resolution applies until the next parliamentary election -
- that will be brought forward to September of this year.
The supreme court has reason to believe the majority of its representatives -
- according to paragraph 112 of the penal code -
- have acted in gross violation of Norway's autonomy and peace -
- and paragraphs 119 and 120 on treason.
This is in reference to information from Ambassador Sidorova, which substantiate -
- that the government actively worked with the occupation powers.
This is just a tragedy.
Following the dissolution of the Norwegian parliament -
- Berg's government has revoked all new citizenships granted to Russian civilians.
These civilians are now being forced to apply for a residence permit -
- with no guarantee of a positive outcome.
Many fear this is the first stage of a plan to deport all Russians from Norway.
The Russian government is calling this a clear violation of the peace treaty.
The EU president is ready.
Russia has also announced a military exercise near the Norwegian border.
European peacekeeping forces are currently...
Jesper, what the hell are you up to?
Nothing. I'm not in a position to intervene.
The EU won't sit still and let you overturn your own parliament.
I don't control the decisions of the supreme court.
We all respect the rule of law.
Don't act as if you don't control the courts, Jesper.
- I know you. - What do you expect from me, Rudi?
Sign the peace treaty with a guarantee to stop -
- any plans of deporting Russians.
And if I refuse?
Then we have to put Norway under administration -
- until new elections are held.
I'm prepared to sign the treaty.
Great. I'll personally be there to make sure you do.
Tell Justice they have a few days to push out as many as they can.
Norwegians should have no doubt that I'll empty the country of Russians.
As more than 3000 Russian citizens are being forced to leave Norway -
- Russia is calling for an immediate stop to the mass deportation.
The EU condemned Norway's actions, yet the Norwegian JM remains defiant.
We cannot allow undocumented Russians to walk freely in our country.
Let me remind you that there is still an ongoing investigation -
- whether Russian was behind the Melkøya explosion.
- What do you make of all this? - This is the Norwegian government...
- Who is it? - It's Nikolaj.
Maja, Nikolaj is coming. Help me clean up a bit.
- Hi. - Hi.
Hi, Maja. So good to see you.
You too.
Hey, there's a specialty store just around the corner.
They sell really beautiful jewelry boxes.
Every woman in Russia should have one.
- Go and choose one for yourself. - Thank you.
1191.
Thanks.
Look, I just wanted to explain.
Explain what?
- I should have told you. - Yeah, you should.
You invited me to come and live with you in your castle.
- Don't play the victim. That's not you. - No, that's your wife.
It's um...
Please don't say it's complicated.
- We can't continue this relationship. - OK.
So why are you here?
Because...
I just wanted to explain that...
That you're married?
Yeah.
Now I know.
You should go back to Norway.
- They will take advantage of you. - Who?
You know what I mean. The government.
Just like you, taking advantage of me, then going home to your wife.
- I'm trying to protect you now. - I don't want you protect me.
You really should go back.
Listen, I came here to build a future -
- for Maja and me. I didn't come here to lean on you.
OK.
REGISTRATION = DEPORTATION
Hey, Hans Martin.
I know what happened to Sidorova's girlfriend.
It was a direct order from the Minister of Justice.
Justice wants to talk to you.
I have to go now. Have a good one.
- Yes?
You wanted to talk to me?
It seems that we've had a leak from the department.
- How serious is it? - I don't know. Rolf...
You can tell us your version.
Sure.
Someone used my...
Is this about me logging in with your profile without your knowing?
Yeah.
I think the best thing would be for me to quit immediately.
Miss Sidorova. Ljuba never left Norway.
According to my husband, she was taken into policy custody nearly a week ago.
They plan to expel her.
Teichmann is landing at Gardermoen now.
Then we have an hour to send out the last Russian flight.
- Can you notify them? - The Russians are refusing more flights.
Not when we tell them -
- that Irina Sidorova's partner is on that flight.
Maybe I can't throw out Sidorova -
- but I can give her a really good reason to go home.
Grete Sundby Teichmann has arrived
- Jesper. - Mr. President. You're early.
One can never be too early.
There you are.
Now you have your agreement.
