There is a place deep in the jungle.
We call it Xuaxactancho.
Our forefathers believed it was the nest of a giant eagle with two heads.
One head looks into your future. The other head looks into your past.
I'd be very honored if you'd show me the way to this place.
No white man has been to this nest before.
My grandfather is the only person who knows how to get there.
Your heart is pure, my friend.
The two-headed eagle will welcome you.
And your girlfriend, of course.
Thank you so much, Amanu. It's a very special moment for us.
Nice. She's a very lucky girl.
Yes, and I'm a very lucky guy.
-I hope she'll say yes. -Of course. Why not?
-I brought batteries for the camera. -Great.
-Patrick, tell me where we're going. -No.
It'd be easier to pack if I knew where we were going.
Yes, but then it wouldn't be a surprise.
-Have you put sun lotion on? -Check.
-Hide the money well. -Sure.
-Hola, amigo. -Hello.
Hello, Miss.
Perfect. One more.
Perfect.
In Denmark, we have "folk schools". You can go to school without paying.
It doesn't matter if your parents are rich or poor.
The government also pays for hospitals, and doctors are free.
We pay tax. Do you have tax in Bolivia? Tax?
Denmark is very flat.
We have no mountains. Or only one, but it's only 147 meters high.
-Can you take a picture of us? -Yes. Sure.
Smile.
Nice.
What a perfect couple here in Bolivia.
-Here you are. -Thank you.
-Your eyes are closed. -Yeah.
I'll have him take a couple more.
Excuse me. Could...
Amanu.
Illipa.
-Hello! Illipa! -Hello!
PROS AND CONS
...everything looks fine, so...
-Right. I put milk in yours, Nina. -Thanks.
-Good to see you. -Thanks for seeing us. We'd like...
First things first. There's a yellow flag on your account.
Oh?
Your wage account, Nina. You haven't been paid for three months.
No. I quit my job.
That's what we wanted to talk about. We've started a business.
-What kind of business? -A consulting company.
It's been our dream for 17 years, and it's finally come true.
360 Consult. We specialize in job satisfaction.
We do a 360-degree assessment of a company's employees
and find their hidden resources.
We're in the start-up phase now, and we've had some trouble with a client.
Let me put these on.
You went too far. Your stories get too far-fetched.
I almost got us 50,000! Just follow my lead!
-Your moustache is falling off. -I'm sweating!
-You're wearing a fat suit. -My character's fat!
Hurry!
Thrilling.
But... The numbers are not looking good.
Let me show you something. I've made a business plan.
-Here's a copy for you. -Alright.
In the start-up phase, we'd like a bit of leniency on your part.
We'd like to raise the line of credit a smidge.
We could also reschedule the loan. There's a new type of loan available.
-Erik and Nina. -Melanie.
We are subject to harsh assessment criteria...
Oh, and our daughter has moved out. That leaves a bit more wiggle room.
Let me just do a printout and we'll look at it.
-We made more than this. -It's minus expenses.
Wigs are expensive and you had to have the fat suit.
Look at this assessment graph. This is an average Dane...
I love my wife. Don't put Nina on a graph of average Danes.
I'm glad you're in love but those are the numbers.
Melanie, some people aren't your average wage earner Danes.
Nina. The mortgage company will make sure they get their money.
It's about credibility.
When this bank is on the news
they're not talking about our credibility.
-Money laundering, tax fraud. -The management has sent out...
-Oh yeah. Executive bonuses. -They've explained...
I'm not gonna beg for a credit of 50,000 kroner at a 15% interest rate.
You can shove this somewhere that actually needs laundering!
If only we had a daughter in Bolivia who could send us 15 million.
We haven't heard from her since she left. Screw the credit.
-We have our own bank. -We have 8000 in our own bank.
We'll work it out. We're Bonnie and Clyde.
-They got shot. -Your glass is half-empty.
-It's completely empty. -We have each other.
The mortgage company's gonna put the house on foreclosure.
This is the time when we should feel young again. I really don't.

Do you want to call it quits?
-Hi Mom. -I'll go shopping.
I'll finish off here.
Oh dear. It's on your elbow now, too?
Is it itchy? We'll have to get it looked at.
Oh. Let me see.
Is it your loose tooth?
-Good night. -Hey, hey. Give me a kiss.
-What's wrong, honey? -My tooth.
What if I choke on it in my sleep?
You won't, honey. Let me see.
It's very loose now.
-Do you want me to pull it out? -No. Then she'll come.
-Who? -The tooth fairy.
Honey... The tooth fairy's not real.
-The tooth fairy's real. -Stop it.
All kids believe in the tooth fairy and Santa Claus.
-And they make birthday wishes. -Now he can't fall asleep.
It's magic, Nina. What about the gnome in the attic in December?
-There is a gnome up there. -Who could've eaten the porridge?
-Yeah, who could it be? -Hi, Mom.
No, I haven't heard from her.
What?
Now?
Turn on the TV.
A romantic backpack trip in the jungle
turned into a dramatic ordeal for a young Danish couple.
The Danish couple were located after a large-scale search of the jungle.
Helicopters and surveillance aircraft...
That's Esther and Patrick.
The couple was early this morning brought to the consulate in La Paz.
From Bolivia to Mariager Fjord.
-Are they in the hospital? -Yes, and they're okay.
-Good. -Are they coming home?
-Mom's talking to the consul. -When can she come home?
-What's a consul general? -When can she come home?
They've had their passports stolen. Someone broke into their hotel room.
It's not the first time that's happened to Western tourists.
Was anything else stolen?
We can issue them temporary passports.
- That's not the biggest issue here. -Ask him...
Hello? What's the biggest issue then?
-Hello? -Why were they in a helicopter?
-They're in the... -Hello?
Look at your iPad while we take care of this.
Put these on and play a game.
-What's he saying? -Nothing. Hello?
-Are you there? -Yes. What's the biggest issue?
The government and I are discussing who's going to pay for the rescue.
That sort of thing's expensive. We're talking over half a million kroner.
-Hello? -Yes.
They won't let them leave the country before it's sorted out.
Does she have to pay half a million to leave?
I assume she has traveler's insurance.
Hello?
The money must be gone.
Of course they stashed the money somewhere so they can pay for it.
Hello? Esther?
Esther, can you hear us?
Hi.
-Hi! Are you okay? -Hi, sweetie.
I want to go home.
We'll figure it out. It's good to see you.
-You look great. -I'm okay too.
-Good, Patrick. -Let me talk to Esther again.
Is there anyone else in the room who understands Danish?
-No. -Good.
The consul general said that some of your stuff was stolen.
What about the money?
The thing about that is... I take full responsibility for it.
-It was stolen too. -Yeah.
Section 4 of the policy states that if she's unaccompanied...
She's still our child. She's still part of our family.
-So she must be covered. -She's 18.
Yeah. That doesn't mean she can think for herself.
When you practice extreme sports like mountain climbing...
We didn't call the helicopter.
-They're Danish citizens. -I hear you.
I can't begin to imagine how you must be feeling.
They're two lovely young people who are out exploring the world.
Weren't you young once?
If they don't have insurance, they're in trouble.
-We'll sell the house. -The bank owns the house.
-What about your mom? -She doesn't have that kind of money.
-You said she'd sell her apartment. -Is she gonna live in the basement?
-No. -No.
There is something we can do.
A company has used EU licenses to make 300 million.
We can't set something up now. It takes too long. I want her home.
We've done all we can, but we can't raise the money.
-Can't we pay it in instalments? -It might all work out.
A Danish foundation may want to pay for the rescue and their trip home.
What?
Who wants to pay for it?
It's a foundation that helps Danes in need.
They want to meet you. I'll send you their address.
Can they come home? Is that what you're telling me?
-Yes. -You can come home?
-That's great. -Fantastic!
-Hello. -Hello. Erik.
Nina.
-Come in. -Thanks.
In a world full of greed, it's great when people help each other.
