Nobel (2016) s01e06 Episode Script

1 You're full of surprises, aren't you? -How are you doing? -Well.
I've put buckets by the bed Clean sheets and a fridge full of Coke.
I'm ready.
Good.
Me too.
You don't have to stay.
-Of course I will.
-No, no.
I have a lot to do.
Hey I either do this myself, or I'm worth nothing.
I'll tell you what.
The next time you're here I'll be there In the kitchen Cooking a nice pike.
With the table set for the whole family.
Watch over your family.
Good bye.
-Hi.
-Hi.
I thought you were going to your father's? He wanted to do it himself.
-Can he? -No, not really.
No Hey, I was thinking Maybe we should go out tonight? Have dinner? Rikard would be thrilled if you spent the day with him.
Things haven't gone as expected after you came home.
Johanne Is it because of what I said in the car? Johanne? I'm asking you to have dinner with me.
What's going on? -it's been a bit overwhelming.
-That's why we should go out! -You and me.
-I don't know about that.
So bring Rikard along! We need to sit down and talk to each other.
Do you know who set you up, or are you done now that the papers have exonerated you? I'm just asking if we can have dinner.
And I ask because I want to be prepared in case this happens again.
I have a meeting.
Pick Rikard up, please.
It's been a while.
-Nice to see you.
-You too.
Time to break out the Champagne.
Okay? Why? Heydar Zamani has transferred all lands with oil and gas.
The Minister of Power and the Foreign Minister will meet us in Kabul.
In three days, the Petroleum Act will be introduced in Afghanistan.
-Really? Congratulations.
-Thanks.
-It's well deserved.
-It is.
Especially for the Afghan people.
But They're not ecstatic, so I'm worried about security.
Would you be interested in joining? -You want me to go to Kabul? -No, Mazar.
What would Nora say about that? You saved an Afghan woman.
That speaks to your advantage.
The knife will just make her weak at the knees.
Shall I ask her? -I don't think so.
-Okay.
You don't have to ask Norad.
I do as I like.
Think about it.
We leave in three days.
Tuesday.
-Can you be honest with me? -I can try.
When you heard the news and saw it was me, what did you think? -She was lucky.
-Stop it.
Be honest.
Okay.
Honestly, I thought it was quite the coincidence.
-You're not alone.
-Don't think too much.
Life is noble.
All lives matter.
Maybe it was no coincidence, but you had a choice: A half-dead Afghan woman and an opium-smuggling Taliban-sympathizer.
What did you just say? Life is noble.
-Congratulations on the project.
-Thanks.
See you around! Hi.
The tabloids are really giving you the works.
-Thanks for your help.
-Don't mention it.
But you didn't come here to say thanks.
-Do you still have the helmet video? -Yes.
Do you remember, after our first three weeks we found narcotics in those aid supplies? -I remember.
-Can I see it? Sure.
It's all logged.
Go ahead.
That was one of the last assignments with Sigurd.
And you had legs.
That one, maybe.
Two lorries are approaching at twelve o'clock.
I really fucked up with Johanne.
-What do you mean? -She's so She's overwhelmed by Sharif's murder, the media and Yeah.
I watched the car park footage with her.
And it I could tell it shocked her.
I just had the urge to explain Who we are and what we do.
Or what I do.
-How did she react? -Well It turned out to be a really bad idea.
She can't even bear it when I touch her.
But she knows you're a soldier.
I guess she's like the rest of Norway.
It's easier to think about the war when you don't have to be involved.
But what did you say, specifically? I just tried to be as honest as possible.
Hey I told her about that boy with the vest.
You chose to tell her that There's no point in telling other people about that.
-Jon Petter? -Yeah? Check out the lorries.
On their sides.
Do you see what it says? "Fruit for Life.
" -Dot -"N-O".
We'll check it out after they leave and report to Burås.
Clear? -Clear.
-Clear.
Clear.
Okay! A little further.
There.
Just go Two seconds back.
-Here? -Yes.
Take a screenshot of that person and enlarge it.
I didn't see that Sharif fucking Zamani with Norwegian development supplies.
-Do you think Stolt-Hansen knew? -The project would've been stopped.
-But you reported this to Burås -It seems it didn't come through.
On our end? No idea.
Like I said, I don't see why funding should stop because of his death.
Where is Sharif's wife anyway? -What do you mean? -Well, Wasima? -She is in Norway, right? -I don't know.
You don't know where she is? She won't have any effect on the deal anyway.
-But she can influence her uncle.
-How so? Listen.
Sharif is dead.
His son takes over, but he's just a boy.
She's his mother.
Who knows if her uncle Heydar can control the lands? -I can see how that's important.
-It really is.
Some people combat heroin with guns, I use apples Against heroin.
It's tough, but It's perhaps not as heroic as being a soldier, but it's my battle.
I'll look into it.
-I have to answer this -Yes.
-I suppose you do.
Bye.
-Bye.
"Fruit for Life's lorries smuggle opium.
" "Burås was briefed.
Check email.
" Hello, this is Johanne.
Hi.
Can you help me find Fruit for Life's annual production statistics? Can you also find the total amount of fruit that is distributed? Are you serious? That's it? Thank you.
Hello, this is Johanne Riiser.
-Hi.
Thanks for seeing me.
-You're welcome.
I'll keep it short.
I've seen footage of Fruit for Life smuggling opium.
I don't think the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been informed.
-I don't know what footage you have? -Your name comes up.
There's a lot of material to log.
This has perhaps taken a bit long.
Alright.
I'll make sure the proper authorities are notified so that they can pay more attention in the future.
I need to know where you found this footage.
-What are you doing? -What do mean? Are you leaking sensitive information? -I don't know what you mean.
-What we do in war is classified.
Why did this footage surface now? Because I'm still trying to find out who wanted me to kill Zamani.
So unexpected things turn up along the way.
Were there any arrest warrants for Fruit for Life in Afghanistan? -No.
-No? On my orders.
I wanted Zamani at large.
That was more important than a few farmers.
One more question.
Your wife She must've known you'd be summoned if she spoke to Burås about this? Yes.
Only your patrol had this footage.
Why did she do that? I don't know.
Where are you going? I'm picking up Rikard for a barbeque at my dad's farm.
-I'm unemployed.
-Erling.
Don't be so fucking cocky.
If you keep this up, we may have to discharge you.
How can I best help you? Hold these.
I couldn't get the door open.
One, two, three.
-I'll get my dad.
-Yeah.
I wanted to show Jon Petter how good I am at riding.
Do it.
Let others praise you.
Self-praise is unbecoming.
Yes, hi.
Hi! Hi.
Dad? I thought you had work? -What's Rikard doing here? -What do you mean? Your father's not doing well.
Why is he here? Dad isn't here.
-So where is he? -I don't know.
Not here.
-What happens when he gets back? -Stop.
Look around.
Jon Petter is here.
Rikard is riding.
It's quiet.
-You know what I mean.
-I brought Rikard here to watch him.
If you don't like it, I'm sorry, but That's what I chose to do.
How bad is the opium stuff? It's a nightmare, of course.
-Do you think Hektor is involved? -No.
I don't know.
You don't know, don't want to know, don't think so or what? I don't think so.
How small was his project? How many lorries and employees? You don't think he knows about opium in his lorries? How well do you know him, anyway? Just take Rikard to the city when your father comes back.
Okay? That's very good.
Fantastic.
-He's starting to do well.
-Very well.
Maybe he'll be just as good as you? -Was that Johanne? -Yes.
-She left again? -Yes.
Will it ever be as good as we had it here? No, it won't Hello.
Try to keep a steady trot.
Alright.
See you later.
-I'll make the beds.
-I'll take the sofa.
-That was Adella.
Wasima is coming.
-Why? Intelligence wants her out of the city.
-Hi.
-Hi! -What a pleasant surprise.
Come in.
-Thanks.
-I'm sorry to come here unannounced.
-No problem.
-Let me take your coat.
-Thanks.
I just opened a bottle of wine, so this is good timing for my health.
I'm driving.
But something has come up that we need to discuss.
Just put your shoes there.
And you can take off the rest of your clothes later.
Maybe.
There's a glass over there if you want.
No, thanks.
I'm fine.
I just have to get changed.
Give me a minute.
So What did you want to discuss? How many employees do you have in Afghanistan? It's just me, really.
-But someone has to drive around? -Sure.
I have a few Afghans working for me, planting trees Driving to garden centres, disappearing for a few days and returning without lorry I think you should take a closer look at them.
They may not be that trustworthy.
They're probably not, but I have to or nothing gets done over there.
Hektor, you don't have to trust them.
-Why not? -We've found evidence that your vehicles are being used to smuggle opium.
Who is? Sharif Zamani must have been behind it.
-Why would he? -To make money, buy weapons Are you Are you hungry? I'm hungry, and I don't know if I have anything.
Maybe we should have dinner somewhere and get to the bottom of this.
-Really.
We need to talk about this.
-Yes, we do.
Great.
Just leave your car so we can have a few drinks.
-So where is Riiser? -He's trying to get clean.
So he's probably in some alley somewhere? -Maybe he pulls it off.
-Dad? We have visitors.
-Hi! -Hi.
-Thanks for having us.
-I didn't have a choice.
-It's safer here.
-I gathered as much.
-Salaam.
-Hi.
Good to see you.
You too.
We're only staying one night, then the airport tomorrow.
-Do want to eat? -No, thanks.
-But a cup of tea, perhaps? -Okay.
-Can you show them where to sleep? -Yes.
Am I getting your room? She asks if we're taking your room.
No, that's okay.
I'll sleep in dad's room.
Your horses look very nice.
Can you ride them? -She wonders if you like to ride? -Yes.
My son is your age, and he likes to ride too.
She has a son your age who also likes to ride.
-What's his name? -Yunes.
-Jonas? -Yunes.
Yunes.
Look at this horse.
Yes.
Horse.
Erling, come here for a second.
-What? -Take a look.
Zamani studied in London, at the School of Oriental and African Studies.
This is his yearbook photo.
Find one mistake in that photo.
Is that Hektor Stolt-Hansen? They fucking studied together! It looks like it.
-So you had no idea? -About the smuggling? No.
You'll just have to trust me, Johanne.
But let me be completely honest here.
I've known Sharif for a long time.
We studied together in London.
That's why I did so well with Fruit for Life.
Because we knew each other.
-Well, that was new.
-Yes.
-I'm sorry.
I should've told you.
-Yes, you should have.
I have to tell you something horrible I'm not really sorry he's dead anymore.
I understand.
It's not that bad.
I've actually heard worse lately.
So what do we do now? Since I brought in Fruit for Life, this is quite important to me too.
The project was used as leverage to enter the region, so there's a lot of politics involved.
-How many know about the smuggling? -A few, but they'll keep quiet.
So just keep the project afloat.
We'll have to try to sort this out.
-Of course.
-Okay? Excuse me.
-You have a nice house.
-Thank you.
-Expensive? -Yes, but it's inherited money.
Do you know what it's like to grow up in a home where everyone makes it? -No, I don't actually.
-No My father was a cabinet minister and now holds many board positions.
My mother is a physician, my brother a philanthropist after being lucky in the dot-com bubble and my sister dances at the opera.
Everything my family touches, turns to gold.
And the opera pays, what, 2.
50 a day? Sure, but at least she's following her dream.
And she You know what I mean.
She married quite well.
And I've planted a few apple trees in Afghanistan on Norway's behalf.
I have a salary grade.
My family doesn't even know what that is.
They'd look it up in a dictionary.
The paper version.
In their library.
They must like an idealist, considering they have a library.
Sure.
An idealist is good.
If he wins the Peace Prize.
But Johanne, I really want Fruit for Life to succeed.
-Yes, I know who he is.
-Do you know him well? He’s an old friend of Sharif.
They told each other stories from when they studied together.
Hektor visited us frequently.
-Hektor and Sharif met frequently.
-Okay.
Did you know your husband smuggled opium? Did you know that your husband smuggled opium? Yes.
Did Hektor know he smuggled opium? -Did Hektor know? -He knew.
Are you sure? Is she sure? Are you sure? Yes.
Sharif grew apples, and he grew opium.
He used Norwegian lorries to transport opium because they were never checked.
Yes.
Hektor knew everything.
Do you remember when we met at university? -I do.
-I thought you were such a toff.
Self-centred and arrogant.
Well, I am.
Do you know what I thought about you? I thought you were terribly Beautiful.
An over-achieving girl from the suburbs.
Well, I am.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
I wonder how much he's made from opium.
Hektor definitely has a motive for removing Sharif.
Why would he get rid of his source of income? Did the Foreign Minister know that Stolt-Hansen was smuggling? -You know I can't say -Yes, you can.
It's speculation.
The army is allowed to think too.
You can deny it.
Did he know Stolt-Hansen smuggled opium to Uzbekistan and returned with weapons for Zamani's private guard? -Adella? -No, he didn't know that.
-No? -The minister was never informed.
But if he was going to meet Sharif in Oslo, then maybe he found out.
He financed Hektor's project.
He couldn't have known about it.
No Be careful.
Hey.
Hello.
-Is it mine or yours? -I thought it was your mother? Are you free? Great.
Thanks.
Hello.
-Hello, hello.
-Hi.
It's me.
Call me back.
It's important.
Start all the way down.
Down here.
-Here? -Yes, at the bottom.
Now you can pull.
There.
-Hello.
-Hi.
What a distinguished visit! -I'm dirty.
-That's okay.
I wanted to keep our guests company until the airport.
Rikard, can you get Wasima and Adella? -Important lady.
-She's the daughter of one of the first military leaders of the Northern Alliance.
He was killed after 9/11, but she was already married off in an attempt to unite the Alliance and the Taliban.
It didn't work.
Things don't always do.
-Do you think she'll be safe? -We can't keep her captive.
-She should be with her son too.
-And you don't need her anymore? -Salaam.
-Salaam.
-Hi.
-Hi.
And she's still Heydar's niece.
His continuing support is important to us.
The airport is an hour away, so there's time for some chatting.
Bye.
-Bye.
-Wasima! Thank you.
-Here you are.
-Thank you.
-That's kind of you.
-Yeah.
Get your rucksack and tell Jon Petter that we're leaving.
Where've you been? Where've you been? At Hansen-Hagen's.
-Okay? -I asked him to let me in.
-Okay -He's nice.
He lent me some clothes.
And you're doing well? I feel like I've been hit by a lorry.
-Okay.
-And you? I've been hit by the same lorry.
Front page material, or.
.
? Trouble in paradise? -A bit of both.
-It's all the travelling.
Career women have to be kept on a tight leash.
What do you mean? -I'm too old to give you advice.
-No, go on.
Give me advice.
I really want to know.
Give me advice.
I recommend 15 milligrams of Rohypnol and a stiff brandy.
-That's it? -That does it.
Jesus Hi.
How are you? Hey Stop it.
It's so good to see you.
Damn it War It's hell.
What the hell is this? The oil agreement with China.
You can't just overbid Oil for Development.
Why not? Why not? Do you think it's wrong to make money? Do you? -That's not what this is about.
-But it is.
There's nothing illegal about it.
And in my defence, this came about long before Oil for Development.
But you do realize that this is impossible? Oh well.
You certainly work fast.
-We work fast? -Yes, you do.
All of you.
And your soon-to-be ex-husband.
-What are you talking about? -Sharif was here to sign the deal.
The Chinese were here.
And your husband kills him So that was fast.
The army and the government were very efficient.
And you say that you can't cooperate Not true at all.
-Erling prevented a murder.
-Okay Nobody believes that.
You don't even believe it yourself.
