Mammon (2014) s02e02 Episode Script

- Here comes the big bunny - You stay at home.
We lost 40 billion.
It's within my mandate.
But it buys us confidence.
If you're in charge of Asia, see it from more sides.
- Your husband had to go to a meeting.
- You're lying.
And you teach a four-year-old to lie.
I can't be bothered with this.
Watch as Dovre falls.
We must become a country living off knowledge when the oil's run out.
Dagbladet has something big.
Comments by you have emerged where you describe your finance minister very negatively.
- Come now.
- He's bitter and disappointed.
And he's my second-in-command.
He lacks vision.
When he's caught with his trousers down, he's pissing on me.
There will be more! Something's obviously fishy when a shitty little web paper gets this.
- Do what the fuck you want! - You're working for VG, not vice versa.
He's everywhere like a wall of shit.
Make him stop always wanting something else.
I can't.
Because of his girlfriend.
My girlfriend's Danish and liberal, but I don't accept you sleeping with her.
I want to see that video.
No more body blows.
Stop bullying! Think about who's leaking and what they want.
It's me.
This day couldn't have gone any better for us.
Now it's your turn.
- Thorgrim? - Look after our daughter.
Look after this.
Hammern's PC.
They cordoned off the garage.
We can't take pictures.
- It's Arabic.
- My God, have they come here too? "Death to Heathens", it says.
And then CKSJ.
Go and see his wife.
-Did you hear? -What? Thorgrim Hammern's been killed.
We talked on the phone.
- When? - Just now.
Episode 2: HEATHENS Has this got to do with that leak? That video that wasn't supposed to be made public? - That this happens at the same time? - No, no.
One thing is a political smear-campaign.
This murder is What? It's too soon to say what it is.
It's everywhere now.
He's already a saint.
It's nothing against what will come.
What did you talk about? It looks like a political assassination.
He was no saint, we know that.
Find out if they can track the phone conversations we had.
OK.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- This is awful.
- Yes, it will get stormy around Mikael.
Security is his responsibility.
This shows he didn't do his job.
- Do we have anything we can use? - No need.
This has its own momentum.
But we will get more time.
- Do you know something we don't know? - Always.
- You're going to help me.
- Get out of here.
VG decided that when something happens to one of us, one man is in charge of informing and supporting the family.
This time it's you.
- You know we had a relationship.
- So you know her well.
Listen When we get there, I will talk to her.
I will inform her of everything VG can help her with.
In the meantime, you search his home office.
- That's going bloody far.
- Yes.
But Hammern went far.
Ellen may not let us see his material.
We must get it before the police.
They leak like a sieve.
It would be in every newspaper before you know it.
- So me helping Ellen is just nonsense? - No, that's routine.
You will help her.
Fuck, what shit this is.
That she lost her husband and is left with a child is shit.
Hi.
You must wait here.
You haven't got clearance.
It's a formality.
When someone cries Islam, then it's - Is it public? - Not yet.
They'll ask if this is terrorism.
I have to talk to the next-of-kin when it seems natural.
He had a Danish wife? I want to talk to her.
Make sure my daughter doesn't come to any more events, like yesterday.
Yes, of course.
You can wait in here if you want.
He knows it wasn't your fault I went yesterday.
Don't worry about that.
Good evening.
Come in.
I'm making tea.
OK.
What can you tell me? That we're really sorry.
All our journalists, both here and abroad - No, about what happened? - Very little.
Was it random, or was somebody after him? - I guess it was him they were after.
- "They"? Yes, or one man, we don't know.
- Do you know who it could have been? - Are you journalists now? - Will you write about this meeting? - No, no.
Living with your kind makes me paranoid.
- Not everyone's like that.
- No, you're an angel, right? - Why are you here? - I asked him.
- Did you object? - Could you let us two talk in private? He can wait out here in the meantime.
We'll do everything within our power to find out who did this and why.
We're here to help.
The paper wants to help you at this difficult time.
- With what? - Practical stuff.
And you'll get a contact person, Peter, whom you can call at any time.
We had some professional differences, your husband and I.
But he was a dog of a journalist! When I say "dog", it's meant as a compliment, you understand? He loved dogs.
But we couldn't have one, I'm allergic.
He was an idiot.
You know that, right? I know that you know.
I guess we didn't agree on that much.
Don't lie to me.
Not today.
He provoked all normal people.
And just think how crazy a rabid person can get.
- He never listened - Maybe this isn't the day to He's dead because he thought he was immortal.
And here I am talking to you.
What the fuck is wrong with telling the truth? I want you to leave now.
Hi.
I'm just waiting for Mummy.
I'm Peter.
What's your name? Hello, sweetheart.
Are you awake? Go back to bed now.
We'll be off then.
Good luck.
- So you're my temporary husband.
- I'll send you my number.
I've got it already.
He'll get criticised however we talk about this.
Overdo it, we're over-dramatizing.
Quell it, we don't see the gravity.
Not seeing the gravity of it I like the least.
That never works.
Thanks.
Have you met Lars? In charge of coordinating Justice and Defence and Homeland Security.
- Lars Fritzmann.
- Inger Marie Steffensen.
The meeting starts in fifteen minutes.
Not you.
You haven't got clearance.
- What do you mean? - We'll talk about that later.
The perpetrator has made a web page with those damn letters, CKSJ.
But nothing more.
The only thing missing is the black flag.
Why was I kept out of this? Is there a reason why I haven't got clearance, that I should know about? - It's just red tape, I think.
- Not because your daughter turned up? - You're not a security priority now.
- I should have priority.
If you don't trust me That video is everywhere.
- It's not out.
It was an assassination.
- I mean your interview.
- One thing at the time.
- You must assert yourself.
250,000 views on YouTube, Twitter TV2 is putting something out tomorrow.
So, a few thousand politically-minded people and all Nordic news channels, watched us putting our biggest problem in a bad light.
Our own second-in-command.
Not to mention all the texts I've had telling me: Well done for saying that.
- Don't tell me you leaked it.
- In that case I would have been clever.
- Do you know how dangerous that is? - Do you know how much power he has? He's strong in the west and guards the state budget like his own family money.
- Shut up about this forever.
- I never told you.
Johs, Johs Inger Marie.
It was me who asked him to leak it.
Ulrik must be taken down a few notches for us to get our reform through.
- If that gets out - It won't.
It was via via via And one "via" would rather get shot than tell.
Excuse the expression.
He wants my job.
Which I never wanted, remember? - He only works for himself.
- And we? Don't ever ask that again.
We're the good guys.
- Will there be more? - Just more of the same.
- He stupid, we clever.
- Elegant.
This is completely off-the-record.
Are you crazy? Sure.
It will take time, that's what you're saying? It will take time to check all the numbers that were in the area? They'll find out you were the last to talk to him.
But not right away.
Never discuss if anyone's pregnant before the test is ready.
Shouldn't you rather call the police? Because I talked to a dead journalist? - They'll want to know about what.
- I can answer that.
- With what? - I'm not pregnant.
What are we doing here? We need to find out what our friend, "Il Presidente" is up to.
Here are all his meetings over the last three months.
For something big, he needs more people.
I'm guessing these people are involved.
- The Permanent Secretary? He's ours.
- Our PM is totally dependent on him.
If he wants to keep me in the dark.
Look.
A photo from San Sebastian this summer.
The PM's holiday.
To take Johs on holiday means you don't get a holiday.
But look at this.
My Permanent Secretary, who claimed to be in London then.
Norway's most powerful bureaucrat, my man.
The keeper of the treasury key.
- Where did you get these pictures? - Never mind.
What we're seeing the outline of here is a party to which we weren't invited.
- A very expensive party.
- I checked some, you check the rest.
Ministers, advisors, all the people around at these points in time.
And don't be scared.
I've had parties cancelled before.
What are you thinking now then? I hit him, stole his books, copied his disk, slept with his girl whom I'm now helping.
You are in a spot of trouble.
THORVALD STEEN Constantinople I checked comments on his stories and found the letters from his car.
Repeatedly, in different combinations.
Always in capital letters.
CKSJ.
- In Norwegian? - Yes.
Look at this.
- Did anybody else get these messages? - Only you in VG.
- I didn't check the other papers.
- Calm down now.
- You know you have to go to the police? - Take it easy now.
My wife is going to get so scared.
You talk to her.
You go to the police.
What were you doing at our house? - Waited for you.
- What, I said? Looked around and woke your daughter.
Did Mathiesen ask you? - Ask me to do what? - I'm not stupid.
There are few things I don't know more about than you, including hardware.
If you wanted to know what was on this, you could have asked.
- Yeah - You haven't hesitated to ask before.
You slept with me, knowing who I lived with! - Do you want to talk about that now? - I told you what he was doing.
Why did you stay with him then? Listen I never meant to use you just because I know you.
I would have copied the disk anyway because we feared what he was up to.
What a lame excuse.
I thought you were a valiant knight, then you steal from me.
Your husband promised many people anonymity.
- People not involved in this.
- I didn't trust him either! And I fear what he was up to as well.
We have that in common.
But we don't agree on Mathiesen.
You trust him, I don't.
I want to know what my husband knew that got him killed.
So do I.
There's the address to my husband's writer's cottage and the key to it.
- Why me? - You've found out things before.
- What's up? - I didn't want to say on the phone.
- I didn't want to upset you.
- I'm already upset.
Last time you asked me to come, it was a bomb.
Somebody's been sending messages to the guy who was killed yesterday.
- I've got the same messages.
- Death threats? - No.
Just some letters.
- Letters? - Yes.
- Listen Can we stand here now? - There may be no need to worry.
- No? There's one more thing.
I'm going to a police interview.
- I'm his boss.
They want to talk to me.
- Am I coming? No.
You will go to your sister and stay there.
Come I'll get you a cab.
The PM met the Permanent Secretary 20 times in 3 months.
A weekend in Hammerfest where the Secretary said he went salmon fishing.
- In the same place.
- Stine? She checked the Bank of Norway boss.
He said he went salmon fishing too.
- He was also in San Sebastian.
- I want to talk to the Secretary.
- You can't catch him on - I just want to see him lie.
- How? - I'll think of something.
- Hello? - Hi, Erik.
It's Michael.
We need to talk.
Come outside, it won't take long.
It's not a good time.
I have to sort out some salmon fishing policies.
You must have a few minutes? - Quite a day.
- You can say that.
Everybody wants to call everything terrorism.
Media don't understand the consequences of that.
- Nor do I.
- I wanted to clear up a small detail.
You're angry.
That's understandable.
I just want to make sure we agree before the meeting on financing.
- You mean, my financing? - Yes.
Look at this.
These are your documents, which show you intend to put the brakes on the education reform financing.
To make place for a new proposal from you? Something completely different? That you have a totally different plan from what we agreed on? - That's your initials at the top.
- Where did you get this? It came with some reviews.
Johs and I were puzzled.
Well This is just one of many proposals we're working on.
I don't even know if I've read it.
I had to make sure we're in agreement before my speech at the university.
It wasn't Skule who was impotent.
It was the bishop.
Ibsen - I thought I wouldn't mention that.
- How kind of you.
Good luck up there.
At the university.
Hi, it's me.
We have to meet.
Now.
More than 100,000 people a year comment on our news stories.
Different identities.
We get more than half a million comments a year.
I don't read one.
- Don't you have people reading them? - Yes, but I only read our writers.
So you don't know who this CKSJ is? - You saw the writing on the car? - Are you being funny? I don't suspect people of murder because they're angry.
How was the relationship between you and Hammern? Really? - Let's say he wasn't easy to lead.
- You had disagreements? - We often have in our department.
- I've got it here.
Let's listen.
I'm not the one with problems, and you know! If you use this against me, I'll cut your fucking dick off, and feed it to you! You don't mess with me, you fuck! - What were you arguing about here? - Ethics.
- What kind of guy tapes secretly? - That was one thing we argued over.
Hammern's conversations with others are the property of VG.
If you can't link this to the murder case, I see it as illegal surveillance.
We haven't done any surveillance.
Hammern did.
He's dead.
He doesn't deserve to be scandalised.
- Who's mentioned scandals? - I just did.
We're trying to find out who killed him.
Surely there are ethics in that.
We got Hammern's PC yesterday, or what we thought was his.
- But it was yours.
Full of water.
- You took the wrong one? Hi.
Could you take this? - They gave me an assault alarm.
- Good to have when you're shot at.
They offered me a bulletproof vest too.
As if I don't sweat enough already.
- Why didn't you put it on? - Don't you start! - Hammern's PC is in the back.
- What? Thank you.
- A pleasure.
- Writer's cottage? Apparently.
That's where he did most of his work.
Thanks.
Wait here.
Hi! - Hi.
- Hi.
- How did the board meeting go? - I'll get a new chairman.
- Any upsets? - No.
He'll get a new job.
It was all done properly.
Bloody banking world.
Tell me.
What happened? I got a warning in writing.
He showed me one of my tax reform proposals.
- With no money for his pet project.
- You're allowed internal notes.
It shows a leak.
We have a spy in our midst.
- Aren't you a bit paranoid now? - I mark all documents with numbers.
He got it from Stine.
Her copy's number 4.
Oh shit.
- Could they know anything else? - No.
What they want, using his talent, is to be well liked.
That's where you hit him.
Expose his game.
Tell everyone he's not the saviour they think.
- I've done some things too.
- Yeah, but that's you.
The parliamentary group meet tonight.
They hate him running his own show.
We can put everything on the table.
The murder, the leaks You know he interferes with security.
I'll gather mine.
He doesn't have the backing he thinks, but you can get that if we act now.
All-out war? If he hadn't lost his wife, he'd never have beaten you.
So, tonight? Hi! You're home? My sister came by.
I'm working at home today.
Listen, I'll make us some food.
I have to leave soon.
Come.
- Hi.
- How did it go today? - Very well.
- She thinks I'm her sister.
Yeah Then she's happy.
Thank you.
Look there.
- You got a bulletproof vest? - Hammern was shot in the head.
You can go first.
This looks all right.
You're whispering.
Hello? What the fuck? 1110.
Could that be an Islamic number? No, it's Norwegian.
1110.
It's the year of a Norwegian crusade.
CK That's our only crusader king.
He went to Constantinople.
- Sigurd Jorsalfar.
- Yeah.
SJ.
- What's he got to do with this? - He's a hero to the extreme right.
- Lots of phones.
- We'll take them.
No, no, no.
They don't belong to VG.
- Was he writing a novel? - It's Mathiesen.
I need photographers.
- We didn't ask if we could take photos.
- I'll send the address later.
The police will come here.
After we've taken pictures.
You're not taking VG here.
That was my deal with Ellen.
Didn't you realise? You just do what you want, don't you? Look.
Do you know if he was writing a novel? "Man Down" Hi, Ellen, it's me.
Somebody's been here.
Everything's been turned over.
I found lots of phones, but none with a SIM card.
- Do you know where they could be? - No, but I can look.
We found the title for a book.
"Man Down".
Do you know about that? - Who's "we"? - Mathiesen and I.
What the hell, did you bring him? Did he ask to come or did you ask him? - What's the book about? - A minister.
- Who? - Don't know.
Did you ask Mathiesen? - Stop it.
- Thorgrim said they argued over it.
Mathiesen's got his own chapter.
- He and I always work together.
- He'll claim to know nothing about it.
You take the one person I said I don't trust! I thought you were helping me! This changes everything.
My God, we never learn.
What? Why are you looking at me like that? - Could you take me home? - Sure.
I'll take you home.
Hello! Hello! It's been ages.
- Haven't you gone to your sister's yet? - I have to make food for you and pack.
- Did you forget the vest? - What vest? - An ordinary vest.
- He's sending me to my sister's.
- Has he got a mistress? - As if I don't have enough problems.
- You want help with those? - Yes, please.
Ellen says you knew about that book.
Me? God, has she begun to believe in rumours like her husband? - I knew nothing about that book.
- She said that's what you argued over.
I knew he wrote about me, not that it was a book.
Have I become a book? - I don't know.
- Nor do I.
I thought he was writing an article, but Is that book about me? - No, it's about a minister.
- Minister? Who? - I don't know.
She said you knew.
- I know nothing, my God.
He was crazy enough to write anything.
We're trying to help her, and she tries to turn it all against me.
- We copied her husband's disk.
- But it contained nothing about a book.
There was just lots of other stuff.
What minister is this about? I don't know, I'm not the problem here.
Don't let her fool you.
Fool me? Sorry I got so angry.
- I knew that you'd come.
- I don't think so.
I've included how he kept me in the dark by holding secret meetings.
I've got pictures.
I've got a whole bag of shit ready.
- And Stine? - I've got Stine under control.
I sent her to Tromso with the PM.
No one likes me there, so they'll enjoy that.
It mustn't look like it came from me.
Someone else can put it out.
When this is over, we'll have some liquor.
Brown liquor.
Hello, welcome.
You're too late.
There you are! Just in time for cake.
I'll tell you about the details of the final negotiations.
Come.
- I saved your tax cuts.
- What the hell are you up to? We've made a broad agreement with everybody.
Except Labour.
- On what? - I think you'll like it.
- But have a seat.
Just in case.
- I'll stand.
What do we want? A secure retirement for us.
- A secure childhood for everyone.
- Another speech? And to win the election.
Listen, if you want to stay with us.
And sit.
In there is a signed agreement.
It puts everyone in a good light, including you.
Because I kept my word.
Everyone looks good, apart from Labour.
- What have you done? - It's not me, it's us.
It can be you.
Right.
Because I feel so welcome.
We've given the oil fund the chance to invest in infrastructure.
- Including in Norway.
- That's cheating.
No.
We don't breach the budgetary rule.
They can only sign contracts with foreign suppliers.
So, roads and railways are going to save the future? No.
Education.
We have made the decision that education is infrastructure.
We open up for the best in the world, Harvard, Yale, MIT, Oxford, to come here and give our institutions a lift.
They will develop in cooperation with our best people on Norwegian soil.
No one has ever invested so much across so many subjects in education.
Our universities are screaming for this.
They only want to work with the best.
- You won't get the people behind you.
- Did you see who's here? The agreement has been signed by everybody.
Except Labour.
I know what's in your briefcase.
Then you may also know that this could get let's say, personal.
I don't think you want that.
Everybody in there's behind this.
This is the largest investment in education in the world, ever.
- You bought them.
- Shut up! I want to make sure we have a livelihood after oil.
Politics isn't to want, it's to do.
And I do something.
What was it that you told Stine? That you've had parties cancelled before? If I see that you're not loyal, you'll never go to a party again.
Then you're finished in the party.
You're not in a minority.
You're on your own.
- Hi.
- How did it go? I'm alive.
As somebody will soon notice.
