PM Jesper Berg desperately tries to stage a 'normal' Norwegian national day on May 17 to convince the people he didn't accept a Russian occupation, just a temporary transition, but many party members don't attend and the royal guard commander refuses to be decorated for the cowardly surrender that the PM calls astute diplomacy. The reporter he speaks to happens to help out as waiter in his wife's restaurant, just across the Russian HQ. A royal guardsman, Stefan Christensen - who shot at Russian ambassador Sidorova - is being held there. Her life was saved by the PM's alert bodyguard, Hans Martin Djupvik, who now becomes a diplomat by interrogating Stefan while the Russians refuse entry to any other Norwegian, proving he only pretends to be part of a major military rebellion plot.

Two months later, eager to appease the impatiently haunting press, PM Berg blurts out that he'll have a date for the Russian withdrawal on the next day. In fact, Sidorova refuses to continue any negotiations unless the legal Chechen immigrant Elbek Musajev, who is believed to have run over a Russian official leaving the restaurant across from the embassy at night, is extradited as a 'wanted terrorist'. That's impossible under Norwgein law, even if he's found guilty. Shortly after, his student son Iljas Musajev voluntarily confesses to the nocturnal fatal accident. Djupvik is assigned to investigate and gets a credible case that the knave falsely confessed to save his father's neck, and after a politically-expedited trial, Elbek is jailed for two years, yet treats everyone to a gruesome surprise.

Djupvik has just accepted the Russian job offer when Berg and his assistant-mistress are taken hostage by a ruthless masked commando, demanding an end to the deportation of Russians and the closure of detention centers that were announced by Berg. While Djupvik mediates, Berg accepts, yet a sharpshooter kills an assailant. Berg is evacuated to the U.S. ambassador's residence and announces a sort of national government in interior exile.
