Borgen

What's this? - This is my place.

Are you starting a new party?

-Birgitte's establishing a new party. - I'm with you

You're our first member of parliament. Jon Berthelsen hasn't responded.

Fine. He can't be trusted

Jon. Are you still interested? - I'll take a look.

This will blow the house down. You in? - I'll stay until the end.

Heard from Katrine? - Not yet

You keep telling stories about losers.

I really want to negotiate with you. I just think you should come back.

My wife is black. My son may be indirectly affected by the new law.

What do you want to do?

I've just resigned as a member of the New Right

Democracy involves the word conversation

We, the New Democrats, want to restart that conversation.

Some change their party to promote their principles Others change their principles for their party

The Government's rejected the proposal for the national park in Sønderjylland

Painful.

TV1 wants us to provide someone for a panel debate on integration policy.

Great. - Then we can ...

This is the book. The author predicted the crisis two years in advance

I'll read it and then we'll discuss it. Good morning ... Lis.

We have to give something to the media

What's our position on corporation tax?

I haven't thought about that yet.

TV1 wants to address integration. - We can't talk here.

We're having a discussion.

We're a mass movement

There's a difference between a mass movement ...

and movement of masses.

The Right Shade Of Brown

Yes, it's a lot quieter here.

TV1 wants us for a debate on integration, we could profile ourselves nicely.

It seemed a good idea to have another face to show rather than mine

Birgitte can't do everything. There has to be a spokesperson on integration.

You, Erik? It concerns you personally. - Thanks for your trust.

But my son shouldn't become hostage to my political ambitions.

Anyway, my speciality is legal policy

I can do it. I've done it for four months in the Moderate party.

Can I say that it wasn't always a success?

Your multicultural society came down to open borders.

Perhaps I've learned things since.

Should we look for a new member of parliament?

A spokesman on integration who's also an immigrant?

That would fit with our profile. - Good thinking, Katrine.

I know a super cool Greenlander... - You can't count him as a real foreigner.

No, it has to be a Muslim.

An old friend of mine is dating an Indonesian.

He's been living here for 20 years...

That makes you think of Japan and China.. and business.

Come on. Indonesia is the largest Islamic country in the world.

It's all about perception, like people thinking I bought my wife in Uganda.

It doesn't have to be an African. - No, a Muslim from the Middle East.

Let's stop before we descend into a discussion on racial purity.

We're looking for the best candidate. Katrine decides, but everyone should think about it.

I'll find one that's the right shade of brown.

Welcome to the creative room. - Thanks.

In this ideas workplace we think outside the box.

Sit down. We're going to talk about our focus in the news.

How long will this take? I've got an editorial meeting.

You might find it strange, but just go with it.

In here even the furniture challenges you. It makes you think differently.

We both should have brought something. I'm curious what you brought for me.

Integration.

A lot of people wonder what Nyborg and her new party want to achieve.

In a debate on integration we could stir things up.

How do you want to tell the story? - I'm thinking of a classic panel debate.

What happened with that 'Dilemma'-format?

It wasn't serious enough.

It was only screaming and shouting and wild clapping. I had to cut it.

Young people liked it. Unlike your other programs.

If you feel that a program doesn't have an edge, then give it one.

We're restarting 'Dilemma'. Awesome idea of yours.

I brought something for you, too. I always consider the viewer first.

TV1 has a lot of "glad it wasn't me" content.

War, disaster, crisis... We need more "I want that too" tv

A sexy money series? Successful people like to look in the mirror

And other people love to dream.

We need to reinvent ourselves and show management a positive story.

Something that says "I want that too"

So something uncritical? - No, more like "I want that too"

Shares, stock exchange, money. I want a visual proposal from the writers.

It needs to have the right feel - And what should that be?

"I want that too" - That feel?

It's not printing - Is that the design software?

I think that as a party in the center we should add a clause on...

...charity and christian values.

Hi, Bent. Nice to see you here. - Do we know each other?

It's not the party line. Where's the paper?

Hasse has just made 50 copies of a book

He should have asked that. Will you tell him?

You bet.

I have a list of candidates. This one sounds good: Jawad Hammidi.

He helps young criminals get back on track. He was a gang member himself.

Last year he won the integration prize

Gang crime is actually a social problem

I believe in mentoring. We've had very good experiences with that.

Can I ask if you're a practising Muslim?

Yes. Just like the Danish are Christians.

What do you mean? - I believe in God.

But I also break many Islamic rules. I don't mind eating pork.

Except red sausage. There's too much junk in that

You have a tattoo on your neck. What does it say?

Steady on, it's not some sort of radical Quran verse.

I got it when Adila accepted my proposal. It's a line of poetry.

"Lovers don't encounter each other outside in the world. They find themselves in each other."

The coffee is 2 kroner. Did you approve that?

We don't have any income yet, so everyone has to contribute.

But some are working very hard for the party. Isn't this a bit cheap?

We don't sue people if they don't pay.

So it's voluntary? I don't have any change.

A cup of coffee from me.

Is his criminal record a problem?

He was 14. Ever since he's been busy making up, so I don't think so.

This is Katrine Fonsmark and Nete Buch. Jorgen Steen Andersen.

Katrine, I've booked the meeting room.

It's in the diary.

So if you don't mind....

I think he's an exceptional candidate.

I still think about that tattoo on his neck

It still smells of the Quran? -He explained it

What will Danes think of a Muslim with a criminal record and an Arabic tattoo?

So that tattoo disqualifies him?

Maybe we should find a woman instead of a man

A Muslim woman?

That was a short conversation, Jon Good that you'd booked the meeting room.

Found a candidate already? - No

We're now thinking of a woman

And two women have decided that? Will I be leaving later because I'm not a woman?

You're gay, so you're halfway there - So we're looking for a Muslim woman?

An excellent candidate, highly educated, with clear views

Who can appear on TV in five days

We're here. We've had a little accident

What happened?

Gustav played hairdresser

It's all my fault

We were here to play and then I fell asleep

He thought: What is more fun to cut? Daddy or paper?

You've lost all your hair. - I had to. I looked like a moron

What did you do, sweetie? Cheeky little boy

You gave daddy a haircut? - Can Mom get a hug?

Are you a little hairdresser? - Yes, sure.

Goddamn - Does it suit me?

Sure. If you're a boxer or rapper

I don't know if it gives a political commentator any street cred. Jesus.

What are you going to tell TV1? - I'm seeing them again next week.

Thanks for picking him up.

I have to answer countless emails when he's asleep.

I've had to do that too.

Have you had a nice day? - A very nice day.

They say he's adorable in kindergarten.

Where does that go?

Shall we go home?

We'll say if we'd like a sandwich.

I'm missing you all already.

What are you looking for? - The black plastic dishes.

What are you doing?

They get numb sometimes. The plastic dishes are there.

The bathroom stinks. - I've called a plumber.

How come Laura gets the big room? - She gets lots of visitors.

But Lars plays PlayStation here. - You and Lars are a bit younger.

What positive energy - So you're talking like a prime minister, too

You're annoyed that you're not rich anymore.

I don't want to live in a dive like this so far from school.

You don't really think that.

It is a bit of a dive. - Do you think?

Good morning, Bent.

There's a new fuse box installed. It cost 5,200 kroner.

Gosh. - We have to pay for our domain name.

I think it'll be good to ask for a membership fee.

Bent, my dear friend. How's it going with the signatures?

Around 13,000, but the campaign's beginning to slow down.

I'm not getting anyone, even though there are a lot of people here.

Good morning. Can we talk? - Not if it's about money.

So you've got the meeting room all day?

This is the proposal for our economic policy.

It begins with an overview.

It looks fine. Corporate tax down 4%.

And the rest. I've earned a million

What? - I've landed a million

Jorgen Steen Andersen, RPS Bank. He's very interested in us.

What does he want in return? - Nothing. Being part of our project.

An exclusive meeting with Birgitte Nyborg wouldn't be a bad idea.

He's a great admirer of yours.

Jon seems to have landed a million for the party.

And I might have a candidate.

Her name's Parvin, comes from Iran, and she's studying law.

Most of her family are doctors or lawyers

What do you think? - She wears a headscarf.

Is that a problem? - It's the first thing people see.

She's well-spoken, highly educated, modern..

Her self-mockery is appealling. She's very easy-going - She wears a headscarf.

Aisha in the Solidarity Union does too. - She also wasn't re-elected.

The question is whether that's because of the headscarf, or because she's so irritating.

Then we'll ask her to take it off. - What if she won't?

Then she can spread it around that we wanted her to dishonor her faith..

We'll have to reject her. - Say that she's too young.

It looks like you need to bring in money here to be popular.

Hello, Birgitte. - Jorgen.

I'm so pleased to be able to meet you. To be honest, I have a crush on you.
