Then you press the red button Eva responding

Open up, you fucking junkie Hey Lasse

Calm down

What? 20 people are waiting to shower

Lasse? The others want to shower too

- 20 people are waiting - Shut it

Do we really have to do this every day?

Y equals half of X multiplied by four And X equals three

So what is X multiplied by four?

Three multiplied by four?

- You know this - 12

Do you want to write it down? Then I'll do it

Right Twelve divided by two?

- Hi, Eva - Hi, Arne

Let's start by getting into a position

that's comfortable enough to hold

Close your eyes

Begin to take slow and deep breaths

Allow each breath to calm your mind

And your body

And your heart

Now, begin to look inwards

See if you're perhaps holding anger

in certain places of your body

With kindness and compassion see if

you can identify any of those places

- Hello - Hi

Eva

Eva, I have to talk to you

Just a second, Jannick Just a second

- You need the toilet? - Yes

- Hi - Hi

How's it going?

Nearly done I'll take the mail down

- I meant, are you okay? - Why?

- You've seemed a bit distant - Oh

I can cover your night shift

- No thanks I'm fine - You always help us

I said no Thanks

Fine

- The mail from Vester 5 - Right

Stop

Continue

And stop

- I need your signature - Carry on

Will you sign, please?

And stop

Continue

Stop Go on

Go

Take a deep breath in

And as you breathe out,

allow the feeling to drift away slowly

Now from this space that is more peaceful and serene

Silence

Hold it for a bit

And exhale out

Sorry

What's the matter?

Then you'll have to call Mum

Yes, try calling her again

I can't talk right now I'm in a meeting

You do that Great Bye

I'm sorry about that My youngest daughter is

She's having a hard time

So Well, you know

- Do you have any children? - No

What did you want to talk about, Eva?

Yes, well

When I started working in this prison

There were some

There were some things that weren't completely transparent

- With regards to me - Yes?

Yes, and then Now I'm

in a situation

A situation? What kind of situation?

You could say that

that I've become biased

- You're biased? - Yes

In what context?

Are we talking about a prisoner?

No

- It's not a prisoner? - No

It's a colleague from my block

I see

Did you talk to your supervisor?

No, I don't feel like doing that

I don't want to make a big deal out of it

I don't understand why you're coming to me

I want to apply for a transfer

- A transfer? - Yes, to another block

- Is that all? - Yes

Departments are short-staffed, so

- I want Centre Zero - I'm sorry?

I'd like to be transferred to Centre Zero

- That's a high security block - Yes

Fine, let's have a look

Morning Eva

Hansen I'm the new

- Morning - Yeah, yeah, morning

- Eva? - Yes

- Rami, head of department - Hello

- Welcome - Thank you

- You're from Vester 5? - Yes

- So only weak prisoners? - I wouldn't call them that

But I'm here to learn

You can start by removing those

Right

And we don't wear that leash around our necks

Right, morning assembly, come on

Turn that music off

013, food

Good morning

015, food

Good morning

017, food

Relax

Let's turn him around

Relax Relax

He's spitting Eva, get the pillow

Turn his head

Nice and easy

Five minutes left Five minutes

What the hell are you doing?

What are you doing at 017?

We never enter a prisoner's cell alone

- Yes, but - But what? But what?

I was on my way home when I heard a noise from 017

I wanted to make sure everything was fine

- Have you read 017's case file? - No

All right

Mikkel Iversen, 25 years old

Five years into a 16-year sentence

Five years ago, he was already imprisoned

He was serving for a minor offence when

he had a fight with a fellow prisoner

- You don't need to - Here we are

A young guy his own age Simon Hansen 19 years old

They started fighting

Look at me when I'm talking to you

Look at me

They started fighting

But what separates our 017 from the typical prisoner is

that he doesn't just hit the

other person or head-butt him

He goes into the communal kitchen

and unscrews a kitchen knife from the wire

He then takes the knife into the other guy's cell and stabs him

Several times

In the chest And in the face

In the throat

Killing him on the spot

This kid is serving a 16-year sentence

for a murder committed in prison

He's dangerous Completely unpredictable

Like everyone else down here

They're not suitable for rehabilitation

None of them are

Maybe you're not suited for this block

Are you?

Get home safely

I'm sorry

- Next Keep a distance - Relax

Shut up, or go back to your cell

Three cigarettes

Here you are

Next

Five

- Five cigarettes - Yes

- 017, right? - Yes

Sorry

What do you mean?

You've run out of cigarettes

No, I haven't 017, a packet of Red Skjold

Check again

There aren't any

Let me in

- I can't - You stupid fucking cow

Give me my fucking smokes Fuck you

- Give me my fucking smokes - Do you want solitary?

- I'm going to the yard - Do you want solitary?

Come here Calm down

Shut up

Next

- Three cigarettes - Yes

Here you are

- Yes? - 017 I need to shit

Hello?

Hello? Is it you again, you?

017, food

You whore

Bastard

Filthy pigs

Get him in

Handcuffs

Put them on

Fuck you

Turn it on Now

- Coffee, Eva - Thanks

Nygaard I see you're eating for two

I have to work for two

- Hi, Jens - Good morning

- Morning - Morning

- Feeling good? - No

- You sure look good - You're jolly today How come?

Well, I'm working with you

Rami? Rami?

- Yes? - 017 has a visitor on Friday

- Okay - Who is it?

I don't know His mum, I think

His mum?

Yes

He shouldn't be allowed visitors

Really?

Why not? Because he threw shit at you?

He got a week in solitary

And you also gave him a shower

Unless I heard wrong

It takes more to lose your visitation rights

You know that

Anything else?

Gate to yard duty officer Transaction observed

Hands behind your head

I said, did you swallow them?

The drugs you got in the yard?

I don't know what you're on about

No?

Stay there

Here you go

Take it Take it

Get on with it

A male officer needs to be present

Get on with it

I need a urine sample

- I haven't done anything - Then why are you in prison?

Stay on the X, or I'll raise the alarm

That'll cost you a week in solitary

And then Mum can't visit

Back on the X

You can't leave until you've urinated

Let me know if you need anything

All the heads will meet later this

week to discuss the North unit

The last item on the agenda:

The board has decided to intensify

inspections in all units

Tomorrow we'll raid the whole prison

Focus on weapons but of course also drugs

Your head of department will brief you

- Where are you going? - We need gloves for the raid

Hurry You're alone on the block

Let go of me

Fuck you Let go of me

Let go of me

Get him under control

Line up here Stand by

Morten Eva 016

- Hurry up - Yes

- Is group two ready? - Yes

Fetch the dog 017

The dog is marking 017 Prepare

017, inspection Step away from the door

Ready? Open

Knife

It's not my knife

It's not my drugs

One of our prisoners is in the sick ward

His nose is broken and the skull fractured

What exactly happened in the cell?

I entered the cell

And then she did what she was supposed to

The prisoner was armed and aggressive

He has committed a murder in a prison before

He had a knife in one hand

and a lot of amphetamine in the other

He seemed very intoxicated at this point

That's why Eva entered the cell

She looks after herself and her colleagues

She simply did her job

Is it your job to assault the prisoners?

How else would you explain what happened?

We wouldn't even be here if you

hadn't ordered another bloody raid

Calm down, everyone

This is a serious matter Right?

Yes

And you know we have to ask, Rami

Yes

And we've answered your questions

So I assume the case is closed?

Unless the prisoner decides to press charges

Which I'm going to offer him

You can be convicted of aggravated assault

A potential prison sentence

Prison?

Yes

He won't press charges Don't worry

Hi

How are you feeling?

What do you want?

I just wanted to check if

If you needed some fresh air

I want to apologise for what happened

I got scared

I'm going to ask to be

transferred back to my old block

Central Zero isn't for me

So you won't see me around anymore

I spoke to that lawyer

I think you should stay

What?

Can you come every day?

To solitary and let me out

Sure

I smoke Red Skjold, not these ones

Red Skjold?

I'll get some for you

- Where have you been? - I took the mail out

014 had a fit while you were gone

Can you do the observation?

Of course

- Why do you always do that? - What?

Let me light my own fags

- You want one? - No thanks

- Why not? - I don't want to smoke

Have one

Have one

Can I have the lighter, please?

Give me the lighter

- 017, give me the lighter - Mikkel

- My name is Mikkel - Okay, Mikkel

Give me the lighter, Mikkel

- What's your name? - My name?

My name is Eva

You teach yoga in the gymnasium I'd like to join

It's not yoga and I don't do it anymore

- I'd also like to go to school - What?

I want to go to school

Can you get me in?

I don't know It will be pretty difficult

No 013 is allowed to go to the workshop

- He has special permission - Then get me one of those

You were just sent to solitary for

possession of weapons and drugs

And whose fault was that?

- What do you mean? - What do you think I mean?

You will do this for me or I'll press charges against you

Understood?

Get in

Put your hands against the shutter

We know that X equals one half of Y

Y is 20

Then what is X?

- Marco? - 10

Close your eyes

Begin to take slow and deep breaths

Allow each breath to calm your mind

And your body, and your heart

You have to do it too

See if you're holding anger in your body

Close your eyes

Close them

I said close them

This place may be a sense

A feeling

Or a memory

Stay with it for a moment

And then let it go

Eva?

- Eva? - Sorry

Didn't you transfer from Vester 5?

What?

Vester 5 is your old block, right?

We have a code 13 from Vester 5

A suicide

Good morning

- Are you here with a prisoner? - No

- I just wanted to - Rough night?

Yes

I was on my way home

Coffee?

- Sorry? - Do you drink coffee?

- I wasn't there - No

- You can't be everywhere - I wasn't there at all

I left him

Left all of them

He needed me and I wasn't there

Don't be so hard on yourself

We try our best

But it's only a job

Right?

My son was in prison too

- Your son? - Yes Simon

I couldn't

Since he was a baby

I don't know exactly what I did wrong, but

He became more difficult

- And bigger Stronger - Yes

Then one day

he was arrested

For an aggravated assault

And he was convicted

He went to prison

And I was so relieved

Not just relieved I was happy

Happy to get rid of him

Happy he was no longer my responsibility

He was in prison

And I didn't visit him once

And now?

How is he doing today?

Do you see him?

He was

No, we lost touch with each other

- Yes? - Eva?

Hello, Eva? Are you there?

Yes What do you want?

I can't sleep Too much noise

Right

What do you want me to do about it?

Hashish Can you get me some dope?

Mikkel?

- Mikkel - What?

We're done

- What? I have an hour - No, it ends now

This whole thing is over

I'm going back to my old block

And all this

is over

Fine

Then I'll press charges

I can get you out

- What? - A day release

But then we're even

- A day release? - Yes

Your mum will be pleased to see you

M09 is not allowed visitors until

he tests negative for drugs

I'll forward the applications from M05 M011 and M020

You two can handle that

There's an application for day release

Day release?

A section 35 for M017, Mikkel Iversen

- You applied on his behalf - Yes

You did what?

You can just decline it

What's your assessment of him?

He's certainly made some positive changes

He's a completely different person

He shows self-reflection about his actions

He tries to better himself through school

Shows no signs of aggressive behaviour

It would be complete madness to release him

- He's not fit for - I agree

But it's not an application for release

We're talking about a single escorted

leave to his mother's house

followed by a walk in a nature

resort away from residential areas

Still

I think he would really benefit from

seeing his mother outside of prison

I'll forward the application

Six hours escorted leave accompanied by two officers

Next case

- Are those for me? - Yes

Thank you, sweetie They're lovely

- Won't you sit down? - Where's the sofa?

I threw that out a long time ago

Won't you sit down?

- Am I allowed to go upstairs? - Yes

Thank you

Come in

No thanks I'll just stay here

- Come on in - No

I don't want to disturb

You aren't I just want

Someone to be here with me

- Yes - Thank you

The flowers are lovely

- You've already said that - Yes

- I've started school - Really?

Yes

Very good

What are you studying?

Maths and Danish and stuff

That's great

And I'm getting really good grades

- And I've started doing yoga - Yoga?

Yes, it's for my reha rehabilitation

Right That's really good All of it

I'm so proud

Would you like to continue your studies?

- What? - Afterwards

After what?

After you're released

Or maybe you haven't considered that?

But that's the point, right?

Sorry, what?

That he can take his exams so it'll

be easier to adapt to society

Yes That's it exactly

I'm glad you provide those options

Yes

I'm just so proud of you

- Eva helps me - Really?

That's nice of her

- I don't know about that - Of course it is

- She also beats me - What?

She beat the shit out of me

I ended up in sick ward

Isn't that right?

Isn't it?

No There was a What?

- What, Mikkel? - I was just joking

It's not funny

- I'm really sorry - Don't talk

- Stop that - What? She's working

She's not here to talk or to eat cake Just shut your mouth

- Where are you going? - Upstairs

You came to see me Not to sit upstairs

Sit down

Sit down, Mikkel

Have a piece of cake

And behave normally Can you do that?

Can you do that?

Stop it Stop

It's three o'clock

It's three o'clock

Mikkel? Are you coming?

It'll be better next time

What do you mean?

Next time I'm on day release

I want to stay out longer Perhaps for a weekend

Then you have to send an application Right?

No

You'll do it

Mikkel, we said one day release

That was the deal

One day release Now we're even

Mikkel, I'm going back to my old block

You're going to take me with you

Get me a cell in your block

Get it?

Are you listening? Do as I say

I'm Simon's mum

What?

I'm Simon's mum

Stop Damn it

- Fuck you - Come and get them off

- So come and take them off - Come over here

Fuck you Come and take them off me

Fuck you all

All right Let's go

Come and take them off Come on

Are you okay?

Yes

Are you sure?

I hear you're going back to Vester 5

Some people can't be saved

That's just the way it is

Take care
