Mammon

- It shouldn't be personal. - You have to take responsibility.

Daniel Veras embezzled 2.3 million.

- They say you misappropriated the money. Did you? - What do you think?

- You're sending your brother to jail? - He managed that by himself.

This is about Andreas. Promise to look after the boy.

- Who's your source in Hungary? - All the facts point towards Daniel.

You don't even know who started it. Someone may have been tricked.

Sophia, the source. It's your brother, you had contact with. It was him.

I have to go home. Then I want to work in the sport section.

You shouldn't warn against us!

For five years you've been playing Mother Teresa.

I'm lawyer Runa Torgersen. It's from your late husband.

How do you know my brother?

Abraham! You know nothing.

- Do you know who that is? - Age Haugen. On the front page of today's newspaper.

Do you know anything about him? Did he know Daniel?

I've never seen him before.

- Abraham. Have you heard that name? - No.

- It's only men who do that. - Daniel wasn't going to do it.

- Daniel hadn't thought of anything. - Daniel warned us.

And whom does that tell you most about? Daniel or him?

Who could know that we're here now? Who the hell knows we're here now?

- Do you think I called? - Evening Post is featuring him.

Could Daniel and Haugen have had anything to do with each other?

- Leave now! - Shall we run away from to the police?

Don't tell me what to do.

Get going. Ok? Are you staying?

It will be broadcasted in every channel. Is that what you want? Go on!

- What's your explanation? - You weren't here.

- What are you going to do now? - Trust me. Run!

Age Haugen said he wanted to talk to you.

Drives you here. Drops you off and drives the car into the water.

You jump into the water, drag him out of the car, get him on shore...

And then he shoots himself. What did he say?

- I'm a journalist. He's a source. - He's a dead man.

- He's a source. - Do I have to read what he said to your newspaper?

Can I get a lift back?

I could have arrested you. But then I'd have a lot of your kind swarming around.

Where have you been?

Meeting with a client. Really embarrassing stuff. I get crazy with all the nonsense.

I had to shout at grown men.

I met Peter today. At the cemetery.

He drives an old blue Toyota. Just like the one at the end of the street.

I haven't seen him, but I've been with four other men.

They wanted to switch the audit firm...

- What have you done now? - How did you know? From the police?

Much worse! Times World, Daily Business...

Hello! Long time no see, come in. I've just made some soup.

Light the candles, will you? I'll get an extra plate.

- I know some Times World people. - I got a lift back from the police.

You call me when the police is there.

Can't we have a little break while we eat?

- Do you want dessert? - Yes please. It was very good.

How the hell can you go to Age again?

Someone pressured him to shoot himself. I saw it in his eyes.

- He was damn scared of something. - You saw that in his eyes?

He said something else. I'll tell you.

But then I have to be involved in the case.

- Do you think anyone will work with you? - Research. I need full access.

I may have mentioned that the chief editor is a bit stupid and erratic.

But in this case he'll be very predictable and not stupid.

I just want to know what happened. Inger Marie will be the writer.

Either we can find this out together -

or else the other newspapers will write about it.

Are you threatening me?

Haugen came to me, not to you.

Did he come to you after you scared the shit out of his wife?

- Why did he do it? - I don't know.

- But he is part of something bigger. - Oh yes?

- The dessert is ready. - Yes. We're coming.

Goodbye, Peter.

I can't lose the job. Not now.

Come in to work tomorrow. But you won't get into the news section gain.

- Tell them I have what they need. - You have no credibility.

You need to find someone else who believes in you.

He's in the newsroom for this one case only?

Yes. We can't take the chance of letting him continue on his own.

- How much does he know? - He knows a bit.

I don't think we can take the risk.

He was the last one who spoke to Haugen.

Not one hour more than neccessary. I'll join the meeting tomorrow.

Gjermund from Times World. Can you tell me what you were doing on the beach today?

- Did the police tip you? - You know that, Peter.

What were you doing when Haugen took his life?

That's a pretty stupid question.

The question is still stupid. There's no point in calling a competitor.

- You're the news. - Suicide as news?

- This is a tragedy for the family. - This is about you.

I shouldn't have been on the beach.

You have been present at a suicide before.

I could lose my job.

Journalists don't write about what other journalists are doing.

Turn off the recorder. Put it in your pocket.

So get this right. No. You'll remember this.

I think he was pressured into killing himself.

- Do you believe that, or do you know? - Know. From what he said.

Okay.

- Hey, it's me. - Only scraps left from the dinner now.

- What can you tell us about Abraham? - Can't you find that out from the internet?

- What did Daniel have to do with Abraham? - Daniel?

What did Daniel have to do to Abraham? Do you know or don't you?

There's a lot to say about both, but not about them toghether.

The worst thing is that you don't know anything about our ancestor.

- You can come by in the morning. - I'll come this evening.

- Directory Enquiries. - Vibeke Haglund, Economic Crime, thanks.

I have no listing for her.

Can you put me through to Katrine Myhre in Telenor?

- Hey, it's Katrine. - Hello. Peter. Are you at work?

- Yes. What is it now? - The phone number of Vibeke Haglund?

- Kjolberggata. - An unlisted number.

- And what is it? - Peter, I can't.

- I'm not allowed to. - Sure. So you owe me.

- Don't you work for the sports section? - Think of it as a sport.

- 901 97 689 Peter, you mustn't... - Thank you.

Let's not take this now. You requested it.

You brought the Bible? Bring something to write on. You might learn something.

- What do you know? - Abraham is the father of Judaism...

- But what do you know that's important? - Not very much. Nothing.

Willingness to sacrifice everything for their God.

- The willingness to sacrifice isn't important here. - Wasn't it about Daniel?

Then that's the most important thing here.

I'm not interested in theology, but Abraham's symbolic value.

The name. What does it mean, and what can it have to do with my brother.

These are symbolic values. Wasn't that what you asked?

- Are there CCTV cameras in the church? - We've had a few burglaries.

What was he doing in the church?

This is the morning before he killed himself.

- What's he yelling? - It's what he's yelling at.

What's important is what he's yelling at.

Abraham.

He's screaming at a painting of Abraham's victim.

- What kind of a painting is it? - An altarpiece.

Donated anonymously through the bishop. A renowned artist. Got it last year.

- Who's the artist? - Wrong question. Who's the donor?

- Yes? - Daniel.

I had to put pressure on the bishop to find out. And show him the video.

This is Daniel's last message.

You don't have anything to do with this?

Who do you think Daniel means sacrificed his son for his faith?

Why haven't you said anything to me about this? Or to mom?

- Hadn't she been hurt enough? - Well yes, she had.

Abraham didn't sacrifice the child. God saved him.

Isn't that enough for today? You need to sleep.

- Do you know who Age Haugen is? - Who is he?

Peter? Drop by for dinner some day, will you

Hi, this is Vibeke...

- Where do we start today? - With the department secretary.

Impartiality question. We should delay treatment until after the congress.

You have to distinguish between what we were elected for, and what I can be elected for.

You won't get less respect in the party if you don't ask Parliament to argue...

We work for everyone, not just the congress.

Then I don't understand why you're running for party leader.

I was asked to run.

Cancel all appointments until lunch.

Did you know him?

Hello, Vibeke. Where are you, hiding? Call me back.

Coffee? New job?

In Times World? The most important thing is the content, not who prints it.

When the police calls Times World before the investigating the body...

- You've put Sports on the map. - It went from bad to worse yesterday.

- Talk about shitting in your own nest. - If you have to, you have to...

You are ok?

Yes? I'm coming.

Bring coffee and chocolate. Don't know if you get it where you're going.

Why is no one calling me?

That front-page screams that I'm totally out of the loop.

You have contacts among journalists, you're online...

Why don't you use it?

I want everything on Haugen's life here before 12:00.

- At least you read the newspapers. - Peter Veras is trying to get a hold of me.

You aren't with him anymore. You owe him nothing.

- Want to come by for a cup of coffee? - Yes, after 12:00. Bye.

- Hello. - How are you?

Why couldn't you pick me up yourself?

- Did you know what he was doing? - Are you crazy?

Thank you. I just don't know why you couldn't come home to me.

Don't talk to anyone about me.

- Don't talk to reporters about me. - But why?

For your own sake.

It can be difficult to understand.

The car behind will take you home.

The mood is great, I see?

- Where do we stand? - Yeah...

Haugen has tragically dragged Peter into this matter.

Inger Marie is open to him coming back.

The chief editor and I have discussed this. The question boils down to...

Will Peter be working on the Haugen case, and only the Haugen case?

Since yesterday I have observed a gigantic occupational suicide.

We'll be back in the lead on this. And you will do it without Peter.

We didn't kill Haugen.

We have something better here than to write about directors who can't handle the responsibility.

How do you think you can work in the newsroom for this newspaper again?

This is how it will be. The lawyer told me not to say too much.

But what you have done to my newspaper, is nothing compared to what you will experience.

Just sit about and wait until I've decided on the reason for sacking you.

- Apparently it's important to choose only one. - There are better ways to proceed.

You have dragged us into a quagmire like this before.

The clowns are returning to the stage, but now we'll stop it now.

After all this is the workplace for over 800 people.

Jan? You will work with Inger Marie.
