THE FOLLOWING SERIES IS INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY

NAMES, DIALOGUE AND EVENTS HAVE BEEN FICTIONALIZED

Prison was predictable.

Outside, anything could happen.

I'm struggling to remember the car trip to Rio.

Everything was like a bad dream.

All of Norway knew that I was on the run in Brazil.

And now the police knew as well.

I was supposed to get a passport and a new identity.

It was supposed to go smoothly.

But how wrong can you be?

Nice. I'll just take one more.

Right there.

- That looks good, doesn't it? - Yeah.

It looks perfect.

Tommy will deliver these to the passport people tonight.

And in the meantime?

As long as you're in here, you'll be safe.

We'll wait. It should be quick.

Okay?

- See you later. - Yes, see you later.

- Is this goodbye? - Yes, but only for a little while.

I'm flying to Norway tonight.

I have to go home and fix the last few things.

Okay.

We will get you home, okay?

- Hi. - Hi.

- Is she asleep? - I think so.

How did it go?

No one could have predicted this.

Brazil is hosting the Olympics in four years.

They've updated their passport systems.

All passports have to go through a barcode machine.

- So she can't make it home? - Not with that system.

We have to find another solution. Another passport.

We're completely out of money.

That's why I need to go, to get more money.

And if I don't?

You have to. Otherwise, she's stuck here.

ESCAPING BOLIVIA

DAY 10 ON THE RUN

DAY 25 ON THE RUN

It doesn't look promising.

All the names on the list are crossed out?

They are the ones who turned us down.

DAY 38 ON THE RUN

Hi, this is Joakim Sten from Alfa Magazine.

Okay.

I understand…

There must be something we can do.

DAY 59 ON THE RUN

DAY 68 ON THE RUN

Hi, Tommy. I'm on my way to the office.

You said it would be a couple of days.

- Oh, Ida, hi. - I've been rotting

in this fucking apartment for three months!

I understand that you're upset.

Lucas won't even remember me by the time I get back!

Trust me, we're working as fast as we can.

We're working on it,

getting a passport is trickier than we thought.

I'll go crazy if I stay in this house any longer!

I understand…

My prison cell was better than this!

We're doing everything we can to make this happen.

- How long will it take? - Sorry, but I have to hang up.

Please don't, Joakim!

Excuse me, Joakim? Leif Moen, from VG.

Ida's lawyer says you were the last one seen with her.

Do you know where she is? Did you help her escape?

I need to get in.

Did you know the police may press charges

against you and your magazine?

- I would get a lawyer if I were you! - No comment.

- Look who's here! - I was stopped by a journalist.

He said the police might press charges against us.

They suspect we're helping Ida. We'll end up in jail.

If Ida ends up in a Brazilian jail, we can't help her!

She won't survive in there!

- And it's all my fault! - It's not your fault.

She wanted to get out and you helped her.

I haven't helped her!

If we don't get that money, I don't get how we're gonna…

I can't take it anymore!

Go home, okay?

I'll handle it, okay?

I'll get the money for the passport.

- Okay. - I promise.

- That's okay by you? - That's fine.

Thank you.

Yes.

I'm not good at this.

And that's fine.

Thanks, man.

I'll handle it.

DAY 81 ON THE RUN

- I have something to tell you. - Come in.

I have a present for you.

- Am I going home? - You are going home.

Won't you open it?

I'm supposed to use someone else's passport?

Yes, you are.

And if I get caught?

We tried to find one that looks like you.

That looks like me? She doesn't look anything like me.

Not even with the wig on.

- It won't work! - Yes it will.

- No! - Yes, it will.

Imagine how many faces they see at passport control.

My God, can you hear how insane this sounds?

It's the only way to get you home.

I can't force you. It's a decision you have to make.

Do you want to go home to Lucas?

Or do you want to wait here for a better solution?

Because I don't know what that solution would be.

Think about it.

Thanks for meeting me today.

Hi, Grandma!

Hi, Max!

- He seems to be having fun. - Yeah, he can't sit still.

- And school? Is it going well? - Yes.

Go on, Wenche… What do you want?

I…

I wish I could see Max a little more often.

- It's all been a bit much lately. - I know. For all of us.

I still don't understand how Ida could blame Michelle.

Didn't she realize that Max would grow up without a mother?

I don't know, Berit.

Is it fair for Michelle to take all the blame?

Ida was also punished.

She's been locked up for almost four years.

And now she's out? Disappeared!

And she'll show up in Norway soon?

I'm not stupid. I know what's going on.

If you think Ida can meet Max, manipulate him,

and pretend that nothing has happened…

you're wrong.

Is that why you agreed to meet me today?

To threaten me?

Max!

- Let's go! - I don't want to go now!

Do you think it'll work?

Yes.

I think it will.

I've got a video from someone you know.

If you want to take a look.

Come here, Lucas! Come here!

Can you say hi to mommy?

Can you show Mommy you can walk?

Yes, look at you! Get up again!

He's grown so much!

- He's smiling! - And he's walking.

Big guy.

Let's go home.

Agreed.

- I'll try and find some tickets. - Yes.

Can I just watch the video one more time?

As many times as you want.

Can you walk for me?

- Hi! - Hi, Lucas, come here!

Yes.

Come in!

- How are the Alfa males doing? - How did you get in?

It's not exactly Fort Knox.

I told your colleague I have no comment.

Yeah, I know.

I'm impressed that you got Ida to talk.

- She speaks only to you? - Helene, come on.

- It's a big responsibility. - Are you here to lecture me about it?

No, I…

I came to tell you that your profile piece on Ida

will turn out pretty good.

And that you're doing what we should've done from the beginning.

Getting her home.

Good job.

Have a nice evening.

Bye.

Your attention, please.

This is a message for all passengers from flight 45…

I need to see your passport, Miss.

- Oh, here? - Yes.

Come on.

Thank you.

This is an announcement…

Miss Ida Berge Hansen, please report…

Wait. This isn't you.

I was born on March 22, my name is Katrine Solberg. Star sign, Aries.

I was born on March 22.

My name is Katrine Solberg.

Born on March 22.

Katrine Solberg. Star sign, Aries.

Are you guys ready to go home?

Yes.

I'm just stressed about the airport.

You don't have to be, nothing to worry about.

Ida, is your suitcase ready?

Girls, the taxis are waiting outside. I'll go with you.

This one can stay behind.

There is nothing in it, okay?

- Ready? - Yeah.

Passport and flight ticket. I'll be in the car right behind you.

I'll take the next flight to Frankfurt. In case anything happens.

Is that okay?

But then comes the hard part.

At the airport, you have to fend for yourself.

You have to be Katrine Solberg.

DAY 85 ON THE RUN

- What if they pull me aside? - I don't mean to scare you.

But you don't want to end up in a Brazilian jail.

You mustn't crack.

Passport, please.

- Passport. - Yes.

Attention…

Sorry.

Did you have a nice day?

Yes, very.

I like the city. Or the beach, mostly.

I'm from Norway, and it's very warm here…

compared to home.

- How's Norway? - Cold.

- Great healthcare. - Yes. Thank you.

Sorry, having some technical issue.

Have to do it manually.

Safe travels, Katrine. Sorry for the wait.

Thank you. You too.

Ae you okay?

Yes.

I'm just a bit afraid of flying.

Do you want some wine or anything else to calm you down?

No, thank you.

Try to get some sleep, it really does help.

So you can sleep.

Can't you show me the city?

I'm the only one of us who hasn't been there before.

Cocha…

cama?

- Cocha… - Bamba!

Bolivia!

Cocaine.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Frankfurt airport.

We kindly ask you to stay seated a little bit longer.

Please sit down again.

There will be a mandatory document and passport control

before you leave the plane.

Please have your documents ready for inspection.

This way, please.

POLICE

Passport control, may I see your passport, please?

Passport, please.

Passport control. Your passport, please.

Passport, please.

Passport, please.

Can you show me your passport?

Passport control. Your passport, please.

Are you looking for someone?

Do you have a different form of ID on you?

No, I've been backpacking.

Hey.

Please.

No driver licence? Nothing?

No, I don't drive.

Miss, I think you have to come with me.

She should've been here by now. Actually, over an hour ago.

Do you think something happened?

- Tommy's coming. - Okay, keep me updated then!

- Yes, talk later. - Bye.

What's up?

She was supposed to land at 10:30. What do your people say?

They say she hasn't got through yet.

There was a spot check passport control on the plane.

- No. - Yes.

- So what do we do now? - There's not a lot we can do.

We have to wait until we get more information.

- And if they find out and call Interpol? - Then I will know.

What do we do then?

Then there's nothing we can do.

Joakim.

That's enough.

We knew this could happen. We knew there was a risk.

- Didn't we? - Yeah.

We're just so fucking close.

- We'll sit here until she comes out. - If she comes out.

Fuck.

- Hi! - Hello!

Where have you been? What's going on?

I've been waiting here for 3 hours, I've been so nervous.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

I was pulled aside in a random passport check on the plane.

It went well. I think they were looking for someone.

- For someone? - For you?

No, I don't think so. But they looked at my passport for a long time.

- So damn good! - Fucking great job.

Oh, my God.

Okay.

And we were so sure something had happened!

- Shall we get going? - Yes, let's go.

We are going to the Kiel ferry. And what is there a lot of?

Booze.

No. Norwegians, lots of them.

You're all over the Norwegian papers. You'll be recognized.

We have to avoid the German police and Interpol.

Because they do work with Bolivia.

But once the ferry leaves, you are in international waters.

Then you're safe, okay?

Best case scenario, you get reported after the ferry leaves the harbor.

The Norwegian police will pick you up in Oslo.

And they can't send you back.

Yeah, best case.

- She looks very similar? - To Ida?

Yes, don't you think?

- Yeah, I agree. - She looks like her.

- What time were we supposed to sail? - Fifteen minutes ago.

Hey, it's going to be fine.

- We got this far. - If someone reported me,

can't the police just come?

If they're going to.

This won't work.

Ladies and gentlemen.

We apologize for the delayed departure from Kiel.

We have now started our journey to Oslo, Norway.

We're sailing.

We're sailing.

- Yes! - We did it!

- Is it true? - Come here.

Oh, my God!

You did it. I'm so proud of you.

You did it.

Good job.

Come here, man.

- Hello! - Okay!

- You'll be home tomorrow. - I'll be home tomorrow.

I'll be home tomorrow.

Shit.

Great!

It's insane.

Good morning.

We arrive in Oslo in 15 minutes.

To our departing guests, thank you for traveling with us.

We hope to see you again soon.

For guests returning to Kiel…

- Are you ready? - Yeah.

I will go out first. And you, ten minutes later.

Then it should be okay.

Wenche and Lucas are waiting in the car park. Don't run.

Walk, calmly.

Don't attract attention.

The police will probably be there.

If they arrest you before you get to Lucas and Wenche,

ask to say hi to them before they take you.

- Okay. - It's your right.

And one last thing.

Once we leave this boat, we don't know each other anymore.

So thanks, for now.

It's been an experience, to say the least.

- Thanks, Tommy. - Thank you.

- For everything. - Same.

When Lucas is old enough to understand, say hi to him from me.

I will.

He should be proud to have you as a mother.

- Thank you. - Look after yourself.

Goodbye.

There she is.

Who is that over there?

Look! Who's that?

Who is that?

My sweet girl.

Hi.

Hi, Mom.

- Ida, this is Marcus. - Hi, Marcus.

Hi!

God, I love you.

- There's no police? - I know.

No one has reported you to the police.

DAY 87 ON THE RUN

It looks so different.

Yes, I had to sell some furniture.

Things are and will be different now, Ida.

But we will be alright.

Right?

I'll turn on the recorder. Start when you're ready.

We just went on a girls' trip.

And now it's already such a distant memory.

Like a nightmare I once dreamed.

But then suddenly, I'm back.

Back in Bolivia. And I remember everything.

- The smell. The feeling. - Good.

If I'd known what was in those bags…

I would have never gone along.

Do you regret it?

Yes… and no.

I can't change anything about that now, anyway.

I understand.

You still haven't asked me whether I'm guilty or not.

You know…

For me…

this was about you being a young woman with a child, who needed help.

And I started to care about you. It's not that important.

Thank you.

For doing that.

Truly.

It's hard to know how to return that, if you know what I mean.

Don't worry about that.

I named him Lucas Joakim.

After you. Just so you know.

Really?

- Wow. - I thought it was nice.

Come here.

Thank you.

There's really no need to reciprocate this in any way.

Ida, I just got a call from your Norwegian lawyer.

She said she has talked to the police about your return.

Yes, and what did she say?

The policeman just said he would pass it on.

But they're not going to do anything about it,

since you've not been convicted in Norway.

Shit.

I just got a shiver down my spine.

Oh my God.

Finally.

Finally.

Some peace.

Sweetie.

Good morning, Ida.

Ida?

There's a phone call for you.

Phone for you.

Who is it?

It's Cecilie.

Ida? It's me.

I heard you were back home.

- Or, I read it. - Why are you calling?

I have to go to court too, here in Norway.

I was wondering if we could meet?

- Maybe testify for me? - I don't know.

Tell them what happened.

I have other things going on.

You know, I could've just

made my lawyer call yours about this, but…

I miss you.

Can you at least think abo…

Don't you want to go out for a walk?

Or call some of your friends to say you're home?

I haven't talked to them in four years, Mom.

- They don't know me anymore. - What about getting some fresh air?

No, I'm fine.

- Aren't you going to answer? - No, it's just journalists.

I understand there's a lot to get used to.

I spent so many nights here, alone.

Praying and hoping that you would get home safe.

And here you are.

I can't stop thinking about Michelle.

That she is still down there.

It's just awful.

If only there was something I could do.

Berit won't talk to me anymore.

- And I'm up to my ears in debt. - Mom!

You can't save everyone.

But you saved me.

You saved Max.

And you saved Lucas.

I think about Michelle a lot.

Me too.

I dream about her every night.

Do you think she…?

Do you really think she tricked you?

Hey, you.

Lucas. Are you being fussy today?

Yes, you are!

He seems a bit tired. I should just put him to bed. Yes.

It looks fantastic, Michelle. Thank you!

Purple is definitely your color. Okay, now it's your turn.

It looks beautiful on you.

Yeah?

Are you sure you can trust Cecilie?

She's my girlfriend.

But you haven't been together for that long.

- What is it, two months? - When you know, you know.

- Okay, fine, but… - Sit still now!

- She has to be trustworthy. - She is, okay?

- So, she's coming with us? - I hope so!

Found it! It was in the bottom drawer, not the top one.

Thank you!

You both look so pretty.

Bite the inside of your cheeks so I can see your cheekbones.

What do you mean, I don't have cheekbones?

You do, but if you bite your cheeks, they'll be more defined.

- Who taught you that? - My mom.

Wenche is cool, man.

- Don't laugh, sit still. - Okay, sorry.

I hear you're joining us on the trip, Cecilie?

I've never been more excited in my life!

And I love that it's so cheap there!

We'll be rich, bitches!

- How much are they giving us? - Thirty thousand!

Each?

Rich bitches!

You look really pretty.

I can do your makeup like that in Bolivia.

- Spain. - True.

Spain.

We have to start saying that, so I don't slip up in front of Mom.

So we're getting paid to be on holiday for two weeks.

And all we have to do is bring some extra bags home?

Isn't that illegal?

It's a little illegal, sure. But we were there last year.

- It was a piece of cake last time. - So, what's in the bags?

- Carlos says it's chemicals. - Chemicals?

Shit.

That sounds a bit illegal.

Carlos will look out for us.

It does sound a bit exciting, no?

A tiny bit?

No?

Life is more fun if you just don't care sometimes.

- So we're gonna do it then? - We're doing it!

- Cecilie needs green eye shadow! - Yes!

Hell, no!

Is it the latest edition?

- Wow. That's amazing. - Yes.

- I know, right? - Yes.

- My God, congrats! - Likewise.

How did you manage to raise all that money?

How did you do it?

Well, this is the last issue of Alfa.

- Put it that way. - No…

- Yeah… - Are you serious?

- Are we bankrupt? - Yeah, we are.

I used my own capital, and a couple of loans.

In my name, of course. Yes.

- I'm sorry, man. - Isn't this what you wanted?

A magazine with substance and heart…

Fucking idiot.

- Content and whatnot? - It's what I wanted.

Okay, what are we gonna do now?

We'll be alright.

I've heard a few rumors.

Only rumors…

that you can get rich transporting bags from Bolivia to Norway.

- Would you be up for it? - I'm up for anything.

I have connections, Wenche.

I don't want to know!

In case a women's magazine rescues me from the jungle.

I want to tell them I'm innocent.

Look at that!

IDA'S ESCAPE!

Was it worth it?

It was.

It's really cold today, right?

- I love it. - Right.

Haven't I seen him here before? Haven't we?

- With his grandmother? - Yes.

She's been helping me a lot.

What's his name?

- Lucas. - Hello, Lucas.

Are you saying hello back to them?

Well, it looks like it's time to go.

It's supposed to rain all day from now on.

Lovely to meet you, Lucas!

And welcome home, Ida.

Yes, let's go home then.

Max, you have a phone call.

- Hello? - Hi, Max, it's me.

- Who? - It's your mom.

I'm going to play football now, so I have to go.

Max!

- Bye. - Max, don't hang up!

- The call was cut off. - Max?

The call was cut off.

The call…
