ACTOR NICOLAS BRO GONE MISSING

WHERE IS BRO? FAMOUS ACTOR DISAPPEARS

FRIENDS UNDERSTAND NOTHING

WHO�S WHO: NICOLAS BRO

A LOVE STORY KING�S GAME

ADAM�S APPLES RECONSTRUCTION

BRO MADE HIS OWN FILM

DIRECTOR WILL USE TAPES LEFT BY BRO

��He must have wanted this film to be made. Or he would have switched off the camera. �� Christoffer Boe.

ONE YEAR PREVIOUSLY

Now the camera�s on.

Okay. Let�s put it here...

... Iike this.

- And then we have a picture. - That�s right.

- It�s recording now? - The red dot indicates recording.

And we have a conversation now.

A registered conversation, yes.

This is great.

I�m just asking... I know you�re a busy man.

Would you mind...

... being the director on this project? You know...

I don�t really understand you. If you want that camera...

Well, then take it and start shooting, and then we can talk. Right?

What is your project?

I�ve been having this thought, you know, of being seen -

- or actually the opposite... of not being seen -

- that I would like to look into.

It�s a bit silly. No, not silly, but...

Lene and I...

If you have problems at home, shouldn�t you talk about it?

Why the hell would you want to bring a camera home?

That�s not my business. This is the camera -

- and Mathilde will supply you with a camera bag and some tapes.

- Don�t switch it off! - Okay, it�s all yours.

Bro has borrowed a camera and would like a bag, a charger and tapes.

And get a receipt, please.

These are the tapes -

- the charger, a cord and...

One of these. You know...

- In the bottom? Thanks, Mathilde. - You�re welcome.

When you talk to somebody, I suggest you turn it around.

- Give me a genuine �thanks�. - Thanks!

Not to the camera, to me! Say thank you for the camera.

- Thanks for lending me the camera. - You�re welcome. Point it at me.

You�re welcome, Nicolas. Now you�ve shot a scene.

- Bye. - Bye.

It�s kind of funny...

- You have a camera. - Yes.

I�ll record myself over a year and everything that goes on here.

Let me see if I can get a good shot from here. Keep on working!

Would you please shut it off and empty the dishwasher?

I�ll empty the dishwasher... now!

This is Lene, pretty Lene. She�s sleeping.

She�s the best I�ve got.

The most beautiful girl in the world.

Isn�t she sweet? Look...

I�ll zoom in for you.

She�s so cute, isn�t she...? Zooming out again.

I love you, Lene.

You�re the best thing that ever happened to me.

I�ve known Lene for seven years.

I�ve known Lene for seven years.

When I left drama school -

- she started on her first year.

She was admitted, and we fell in love...

Or rather, I...

Lene was very shy, so the conquest was on my part.

We were married in a small annexe to a mansion.

Magnificent place with a blue church.

And we had an enormous wedding. It was fantastic.

And Lene was very beautiful.

So very beautiful.

Aw, Nicolas! Wait...

Let me get an umbrella, okay?

Here you are. For you. Or you�ll get soaked.

And your camera will get wet.

- See you later. - Right. Bye.

If she turns around now, she loves me.

Okay, that was no good. If she...

If she turns around before the corner...

Now! Now...!

If she turns around... Turn around, baby, �cause then you love me.

Why is she not turning around?

Lene!

Now�s my last chance! Come on, baby, turn around!

Turn around for me. Come on.

Fuck!

This is totally unrealistic. It�s an unrealistic test.

She can�t possibly know I�m here. She can�t know. It�s no good.

Cut!

- I�m going to make lamb roast. - Are you?

- I�ll get some groceries tomorrow. - Great idea.

Yummy...

Will you be home tomorrow?

- I didn�t think so. - What are you talking about?

Will you be home tomorrow or not?

Come on. I want to make a nice meal.

When was the last time you were home to make a nice meal?

Just try to ruin everything with your sour comments.

Poor little thing!

This is a brilliant cook book.

I can cook three courses every day till New Year�s Eve.

Will you be home on New Year�s Eve?

- Aren�t you going out? - Shut up!

I�m just happy that you�ll be home on New Year�s Eve!

Shut up! I�m trying to do something good for us.

- I just asked if you were home. - What?

You are crazy.

You�re the one who�s crazy.

Now she�s ascending the stairs. The lights are switched on.

Now she realizes I�m not at home.

Then she�ll call me on the phone to say she loves me. ��Where are you? ��

��Where are you, Nicolas? I need to talk to you. I�m desperate�� -

- she thinks. And hurries along. There!

Hello?

Hi, baby. Hi!

Thanks, I�m fine.

Yes, I have.

Am I on my way home? Why do you ask?

Yes... No.

I�ll do that.

Right... And some bread.

Okay.

- Mr. Boe... - How�s the film coming along?

Alright... and not so alright.

Alright and not so alright.

Lene pays me a lot of attention when I have the camera.

When I�m filming her -

- I experience -

- a completely new kind of honesty from her.

The camera can sometimes be horribly honest.

It doesn�t lie, that�s for sure.

Suddenly I feel very very tired.

Hi, sweetie. Having a good time?

I just talked to Christoffer Boe.

He thinks that everything looks really fantastic.

It will be a great love story. About the two of us...

Where are you going?

- Should we go for a walk? - No.

Huh, sweetie?

Come on, sweetie.

Why don�t you drop the �sweetie�?

I asked you not to film, didn�t I?

- Hi, sweetie. - Hi.

Hi...

Please don�t.

- Nice day? - Yes.

- Sweetie. - Damn, what a crappy sauce!

- Never mind the food. - I�m not sure I love you any more.

- Have you found somebody else? - It�s nothing like that.

What is it then, sweetie?

I don�t know.

I don�t know what�s wrong. It�s kind of strange.

We�ve all tried to say something -

- that we don�t really mean, but...

I think I have to...

This film will be my...

... morning gift for her. My love gift.

So that I can show her how much I love her.

Is anything the matter?

No, everything is perfect.

You�ve been so patient with me -

- and it�s not fair at all the way I�ve been treating you.

It�ll never happen again! I�ll change.

Do I like that hand? No, I don�t like it.

And I don�t like your tiny elbow -

- or the entire arm. Yuck!

And I particularly don�t like your belly-button.

And I don�t like your lovely... no, your stupid legs.

And I don�t like your ear. But you know what I like?

I like you, because you�re the one I love.

- Get off! - Lene...

Leave me alone, goddamn it!

I feel like shit! Don�t you get it?

- I really feel miserable. - Yes.

It seems that you don�t care. You don�t give a damn.

You just pull out your camera and take some shots -

- and call it a love film. I don�t want to be part of it!

- It�s just because you... - You never even asked me.

I tell you to stop it, but you go on and on.

You know I asked you.

I do it for our sake.

Don�t do it for my sake. Promise me that.

It�s nothing to do with me. It�s your own project.

It�s about you. Not me.

But it�s not only the film. You were sad before.

Somehow you�re depressed.

I�m not depressed.

Well, I think you�ve been in a very bad mood lately.

I don�t suffer from depressions. We have a problem.

We have no relationship.

I don�t have the feelings for you that are needed.

- But I�m not depressed. - Lene, don�t...

- Listen... - I can�t be bothered to discuss it.

- Listen, I know we have problems... - Like hell you do.

You say I�m depressed, as if all I need is Prozac.

- And everything is fine. - We all get depressed.

I�m not depressed!

Lene.

Lene, sweetheart, let�s talk about it.

- We�ve talked and talked. - Please don�t.

- Please don�t. I beg you! - There�s nothing more to be said.

Please! I beg you, I beg you. Please!

Don�t do this to me.

- Come on... Lene! - No, Nicolas. Stop it.

- Sweetie... - Are you recording this?

No, I�m not.

- Are you recording now? - No, I swear to God!

- Let me see. - I put it right there. Tonight.

- I just put it somewhere. - You recorded all this!

- No, I swear! - You�re lying.

No, I�m not. Please believe me.

Fuck, you�re crazy, man. I hate you.

It�s been a terrible day today.

Lene has left me.

I don�t know what to do about anything.

Christoffer...!

- How are you? - Okay. So you�re still at it?

- Yes. - I�m impressed.

Have you got ten... five minutes?

I�m exhausted. Some other time.

I just need to talk to you for a second.

- About what? - My film.

I�m stuck, and I need...

- Bro, I�m so... - When I say ten, it�s only ten.

- I�m not talking about an hour... - Seriously:. Can�t it wait?

Bye, my friend. Just go on filming.

You keep saying that, but if I don�t...

Stupid fucking referee!

- Great fun. - Right...

You and me and the camera.

How about when you�re sleeping?

I let it run out.

What happens then? Does it turn...

It�s not a normal thing to do, you know.

- Pretend it�s not there. - Okay...

Come in!

- Hi, Nicolas. - Hi, Katrine. Come in.

You�ve already... What is that?

It�s just a little camera that...

- Are you shooting now? - Well, yes.

Is it true that you�re using it all the time?

Yes, I am. I am.

- And people don�t get annoyed? - No, I talk to people about it.

I tell them when I switch it on. I say:. ��I�m filming now.��

- May I sit down? - Please do.

I must say that I see it as a problem.

Could you put it away? This is quite serious, you know.

- We have to talk about it. - Right, but first...

To be quite frank, Nicolas...

People talk about you filming them -

- when they don�t want you to, and as we have many celebrities here -

- we need to protect our privacy and to trust each other.

The fact that you record people is a problem...

Everybody knows. And I can tell you -

- that they all liked it.

I�m sorry to say this... Listen to me!

I have to take this seriously, because the entire theatre is reacting now.

You may think I�m violating your privacy -

- but one of the security guards found these. Several hours!

I haven�t seen them and don�t want to... Take it easy now, Nicolas!

They are my tapes! Did you search my dressing-room...?

- Not personally, no, but I had to... - You sent somebody in there?

What you recorded on these tapes is not acceptable.

They are my tapes! I did the shooting -

- and you can keep your hands off them.

You can�t enter my room... No, I don�t want to relax.

- I like you as an actor, but... - I like you too.

But you can�t just go through all my belongings.

This is the deal: You sign a statement to the affect that you won�t use these.

That this is something... Hey, wait a second! Take it easy now.

You�re not going anywhere, until you�ve handed back the tapes.

- Don�t threaten me! - As much as I like.

- I don�t know what�s wrong... - Jesus!

- But you need to relax. - You�re the one who needs to relax.

- You won�t be on stage tonight. - Aw, shut up, you stupid cunt!

I won�t accept this. Give me the tapes.

- You�re obviously beside yourself. - Give me those tapes!

Don�t talk to me like that!

If you don�t sign the statement, you�ll have to go.

- What do you mean? - It means you�re out.

Why don�t you consider who is more important for this theatre?

Then you�ll find out that you�re dispensable, you fucking bitch!

Fuck you, Royal Theatre! It�s my place.

You can�t just kick me out, you assholes!

Reality lies with me! Shame!

Hello? - Hi, Nicolas. It�s your in-laws.

Hi...

Hello?

- May we come in? - Yes.

- Hello, Nicolas. - Hi.

- May we come in? - Please.

- Maybe you�ve got a cup of coffee? - Well, yes...

Should we...

Why don�t you put the kettle on?

There�s no electricity. I�ll boil some water in the basement.

Lene is moving to Berlin.

Berlin...?

Why is she moving to Berlin?

She must have told you something, Karen.

Not really.

Lene says that her passport is in the dresser -

- and as far as I remember, she mentioned the top drawer.

I don�t have her passport.

Don�t make an issue out of it. Just find her passport.

- Karen, you must know that... - Nicolas, find her passport!

- Now! Come on... - I�ll go look.

I don�t have her passport.

- Hey, this is private stuff! - Sorry.

- Back off, please. - There it is. Give it to me.

No!

Let�s check if it has expired, or...

Lene�s passport. Let�s go out and have a good time.

- Karen? - Yes?

- There was something else, right? - Oh, yes.

Karen and I care a lot for you. We care a lot.

Don�t think we don�t.

But you must give each other room and time and space.

Otherwise nothing will happen.

- I�ve gathered a few things. - Let�s go then.

- No. - Yes.

No...! No.

- Come on. - We�re leaving now, Nicolas.

No.

Nicolas!

Calm down, Nicolas.

- Get out! - Nicolas, I�m so sorry.

I miss her so badly.

It�s strange, because she doesn�t really have any friends in Berlin.

I must track her down. It�s unbearable not to know where she is.

- Hi, Nicolas. - Hi.

Thanks for the performance. It was really cool! Exciting.

- I�m glad. - Incredible universe.

Really spaced out. Weird. Should we go out for a drink?

- Would you like to? - I�d love to.

By the way...

Have you seen Lene lately?

- Yes. - Is she okay?

She�s very sad, of course, but yes.

Do you happen to know where she lives?

Yes... Well, I don�t really know what to say.

I don�t mind telling you stuff, but at the same time...

Lene is my friend, and I don�t want to...

- I talked briefly to her parents. - Okay... What did they say?

They mentioned Berlin...

- Where in Berlin is she staying? - I can�t tell you, Nicolas.

- Please tell me. - It breaks my heart that you...

- I feel so bad. - It won�t help you to know.

Please tell me where she is, or I�ll go crazy.

- Do I have to beg? - No, please don�t.

I miss her so much. I don�t know what to do.

- Sorry. - Don�t say that. I know how you feel.

Let�s talk about something else.

- Signe? - Yes.

- One more beer? - One for the road then.

- Doesn�t the camera piss people off? - No.

Everybody wants to be in a movie.

I�m making a feature film.

At first I couldn�t find a story -

- but then... then I realized I wanted to make a film about love.

And the starting point was Lene�s and my love.

So now I have a love movie without love.

Now I have to stop.

The Eiffel Bar! That�s where we�re going.

- I�m going home. - Please.

- Eiffel, Eiffel, Eiffel... - One beer!

Look, we�re happy now. You know what? We take you instead.

- Take me? - Instead of Lene. For the love film.

- Yes, I�m kissing you now. - Lovely.

I have to piss, man. I have to piss!

That�s what I call a beer!

Let me light it for you.

Wow, what a flame!

Don�t you think you should go home?

Lene?

- I�m Signe. - Right.

I want you to do Signe�s part.

- No, Lene�s part, Signe. - No.

Yes... You�ll do Lene�s part.

No. I won�t be Lene.

I�ll pay you a lot of money.

- I will! - Where would you get it?

You are so sweet and nice and beautiful and lovely and beautiful.

- You�re drooling all over me! - No.

Yes, you are.

Nicolas, no more beer!

God, I have...

I have the cruellest hangover.

But somehow it helped me.

I think I found a solution -

- to my film... my love film.

I talked to Lene�s friend, Signe, yesterday, and...

As far as I remember she�s willing to play Lene�s part.

Nonsense, she said that Lene could be played by an actress.

I asked her if she wanted to, but she didn�t like it, which I understand.

But the idea of an actress...

... that�s a great idea.

And I think that�s the way to move on... Somehow.

Are you going to film this?

Well, I�m... Yes.

You�ve done this for a while.

Trine, I have a fantastic project that includes you.

It�s a super project.

It�s about a man and a woman, who have been together...

It�s time for a close-up of you.

There... Now I�m in control.

Tell me what it�s about.

It�s about two people -

- who once met each other.

Their love has become so strong that it wears them down.

But they rammed together in this tremendous love -

- and her body can�t hold her any more -

- so she breaks away and leaves him...

Nicolas, can you keep quiet for one second?

- I�m almost through... - But I don�t understand a thing.

You ramble on and on -

- and I need to visualize what you�re saying.

What is it that you don�t understand?

Hello, Nicolas.

What�s going on?

Nothing. I just wanted to explain... Am I going too fast?

Where did I lose you?

Where am I in all this?

I want you to be the woman.

Right.

I�ve prepared a room for you, where you can move in.

You can bring your own things and decorate it the way you want.

We�ll put a lock on the door, and you get the key like it�s a rented room.

What would Lene think of a house-full of actors?

Lene is...

... away for the moment.

You�ll pack something for Tuesday and...

I�ll be there on Tuesday.

And then we�ll shoot a scene or something...

- I�ll cook a nice dinner and... - Fine.

You fruitcake, you!

Hi, Christoffer.

- That�s not your final hairdo, is it? - No.

- You�ll get another one? - Yes.

- Are you off? - Yes, I have to go.

You just have to remember to dress up.

- Neat clothes? - Neat clothes.

It�s incredible. He walks out on me all the time. It�s a real pain!

You know your place in the hierarchy around here.

God, I�m elegant! Really!

- Ready for action! - Yes, I�ll put it down in a second.

167, II.

- Mark it! - And action!

- Where�s Zetterstrom? - He was here a moment ago.

I hope someone told him that the piano is being tuned.

Where�s the piano tuner? It�s vital that someone informs him.

He�ll be here for the concert, right?

He will be playing himself, right? You never know. He�s really weird.

Cut, cut, cut...!

What the hell is going on? What�s in your hand?

We�re shooting. What are you doing?

- What are you doing? - You said we had to...

You can�t mix it with another film! Give me that camera!

- Come on... - Nicolas, hand over the camera!

- Nicolas! The camera! - No way!

- You told me to record everything. - Not while shooting another film!

- Give me that camera now! - No!

- There�s no film. - It�s my camera.

You�re fired!

He asked me to do this.

It�s true. He asked me himself.

Fuck, man. Fuck him.

Hi, Trine, come on in.

- Did you just get up? - No, I was just resting.

- Have you been having a party? - No, I...

There�s something I�d like to show you.

I�ll clean out, of course, but you can bunk here.

- This could be your room. - Nicolas, stop it.

I�m not moving in.

Nicolas...?

- Let�s get to work. - Right.

- I�ve written the scene here. - All hand-written?

- Should I just read it quickly? - Yes.

- I�m fed up when you don�t listen. - But I love you.

- It says: Nah, but I love you. - Nah, but I love you.

- I can�t take it any more. - We need each other.

Don�t leave me, Lene. I can�t live without you.

Are you sure my name has to be Lene and not something else?

No, �Lene� is important. It�s a good name.

- Yes, but it�s rather close. - That doesn�t matter.

And then she sees the camera: Are you recording this?

I think I hate you.

- No, it�s more like... - I�ll be serious when we do it.

I was only joking... I think I hate you.

The camera loves you. It loves us, Lene.

- Seriously... Do you mean it? - Yes. Doesn�t it make sense?

Goodbye, she says.

- You look tired. - I sleep like shit.

- You do? - Yes.

Let�s... I have some clothes here.

Are they too small? They are low-waisted, you know.

Nicolas? This was a rotten purchase.

Thanks a lot.

- I couldn�t... The sweater fits you. - It�s fine. But please remember...

- I�m not 15 1/2 years old. - No.

- What are you doing? - I�m setting up the camera.

- What are you doing? - I�m setting up the camera.

There�s something in it... We�ll just call it �Scene 1�.

- You want me to mark? - Please. Behind this one.

Okay. Scene 1, take 1.

Action.

Lene.

- Lene, don�t leave me. - I can�t take it.

I don�t want to stay. It�s over.

- Listen... - I don�t want to discuss it.

Let go of me! Okay?

We�ve talked about it, and it�s over.

- But I love you, Lene. - I don�t want that camera in my face.

- And I�m fed up with you. - But the camera thing is not...

You see the camera, but you shouldn�t...

Take 4. Action.

It suddenly strikes me that...

When you go out, and I hold on to you, you say:

�Okay, one last...� �One last love-making�, you say.

- Where did that come from? - It sort of follows, I think.

I can�t catch sight of the camera and also say:

�Oh, one last love-making. No, let go of me!�

No, I�ll say it, and you say: Okay.

And then I throw you on the bed.

- But there�s no camera in there. - I�ll throw you on the bed and say...

I�ll take it along then.

What the hell is this all about?

Is it some clever way of getting me into bed or what?

- No, we�re friends. - You might as well say so then.

Maybe we could find a better approach.

No, please. You have to take it seriously.

So do you. If you want to rape me on that bed...

Not rape, it has to be beautiful.

- Well, let�s drop the bed scene. - I think so.

Let�s try your leaving once again.

Take 13.

- Stay! - Let go!

- Are you recording this? - No.

Is the camera on...? What are you doing? Are you insane?

Trine, I told you not to say �insane�.

You�ve said it three times now, and it�s not in the script.

I can�t help it.

This is no good.

This is no good at all.

- Where are we? - In a Berlin park.

You are unhappy and desperate and walk around...

- You hardly know where... - Why don�t we go somewhere else?

Then I tell her I love her, and please come home.

And then she gives in.

- Completely. - Why? How does he persuade her?

By saying that he loves her.

Good. Very good, Trine... Lene.

No, let�s try again.

- I love you. - No, let�s start somewhere else.

It�s kind of awkward, when you have to be the cameraman as well.

Really... Can�t you hire a cameraman the next time?

We are actors after all, and I don�t know if it�s me or you -

- who doesn�t give all that it takes.

- Maybe it�s me... - No, it�s probably me.

- Is it because you�d like to...? - It sounds so amateurish.

As if we can�t believe that she feels any love for him.

I wouldn�t... No, it�s not like that at all.

Do you love me?

Are you happy to see me?

- I don�t know. - This doesn�t work.

- If you keep working against me... - I don�t.

- I only question your script. - Yes, but...

It�s totally unrealistic that she...

... after the conflict we just filmed, Nicolas...

Stop it, will you? You�re really a pain now.

You too.

Trine, this doesn�t work. I can feel you�re not the right person for this.

I�m sorry, but I have to sack you. There can�t be two cooks in this.

It won�t do at all.

There! Here we go...

- What a coincidence! Hello. - Hi.

- How are you? - Fine, thanks. And you?

Fine... What a coincidence to meet you here.

- Yes. - Where�s Karen?

Well, I think she went looking for a bottle of red wine.

- And you�re shopping? - I�m making a great dinner.

I sniff at the cheeses and enjoy the heat in the kitchen, as they say.

Sounds great.

Please accept my apologies for what happened last.

I know I made a scene, but I was terribly unhappy.

- Bye now. - Bye.

Niels, could you give me the address of the hotel in Berlin, you know?

- It�s really important. - I can�t. You know that.

This is serious! I�m terrified of what could happen to her.

No more!

But you...

It must cost you a fortune in tapes. How many tapes do you shoot a day?

About 12.

What if I told you that if you want to see me, the camera has to go?

What would happen then? If I told you to stop it now?

- Switch it off. - Hey, stop!

Sometimes you have to accept the end of something in order to move on.

In order to get on with your life. Do you know what I mean?

No.

Ever since it went wrong with Lene, this thing, your film -

- has gone way too far.

It�s like a fucking addiction, you know.

Like when you smoked dope in high school and it was way over the top.

- Remember? - Yeah, I remember.

Back then I told you:

Listen, it�s too much. You were completely dazed...

- And I quit, didn�t I? - Exactly.

Name an artist that hasn�t been on the fringe?

Listen to me... This is what I mean, and I�m asking you: Are you okay?

- Yes, I�m fine. - No fucking way.

I�m sorry about Lene, but we�ll find a solution.

Listen, you were sacked by the Royal Theatre and by Christoffer.

Lene has left you, you�re living alone, you talk to nobody at all.

I�m probably the only one you see once in a while.

The rest of the time it�s you and Sonny. That�s all.

I don�t want to hang around, watching this. I can�t.

Do you understand?

This is why...

... if it has to be like this -

- I don�t want to see you until this project is finished.

That�s the way it is.

As a matter of principle I won�t switch it off now -

- for you ought to respect the fact that I...

Call me, when you�ve dumped the camera.

- See you later. - Okay.

Well...

There goes the last one.

Hello. I�d like the number for a hotel in Berlin.

Hotel Alexander Platz.

Yes... Right.

Come on, my friend. It�s only your wife.

Damn it, Nicolas. Go talk to her.

Oh, shit!

Hi, Lene.

Hi, Lene, sweetie.

I�ll call you back. I have to hang up.

I�ll call you in a moment.

Hi, sweetheart.

- Hi. - How are you?

What are you doing here?

I came to tell you that I love you.

I bought some flowers, but I lost them on the Metro.

- Why don�t you come home with me? - No, thanks.

Have you been following me? Who told you where to find me?

I�ve been trying to find you. That�s why...

- I didn�t mean to make you mad. - No? What had you expected?

- I�ve been missing you. - And so what?

- I love you. - No! Stop it!

I�ll get my purse, and then we can go for a walk.

- Let me say hello to your friends. - Stay here!

I�ll stay here.

Hi, I�m Lene�s husband. My name�s Nicolas.

Lene?

They seemed nice.

Wait here...

- Excuse me... - See you later.

- Sorry, I didn�t get your name? - Joen.

See you later. I�ll call you.

- Excuse me, who is that? - Joen.

You have to leave me alone.

Yes. But I love you.

This has nothing to do with love. And you show no respect at all.

- Why the hell are you here? - I do respect you.

- No, you don�t. - I miss you.

- This is not a sign of respect. - I miss you terribly.

Let�s take a walk. Come on.

Nice room.

Would you like to see some scenes from my film?

No? It�s really beautiful.

- That�s not the issue right now. - What do you mean?

I don�t want to see anything.

Why not?

I don�t feel like it.

I don�t know what happened, but something went terribly wrong.

There�s nothing between us any more. Nothing.

Say something, please. Don�t you get it?

Who is this Joen fellow?

He�s not just a friend.

You were holding hands.

Yes, we were.

There�s something else I need to tell you.

I had an abortion...

... some months ago.

You were never present!

- Child killer! - Don�t say that!

- Child killer! - Don�t, Nicolas!

You�re insane, Nicolas. Don�t take pictures of yourself now.

Don�t do it!

I can�t take any more, Nicolas. I�m going to bed.

Hi, Nicolas.

You�re asleep.

I just want to tell you that...

This is not something I wanted.

I never meant to hurt you so badly.

But I think that...

Once we were...

... the best thing in the whole world.

But you have to understand that you have changed a lot.

And I worry a lot about you.

You�re not well, Nicolas. You�re in a bad state -

- and I hope you know somehow that this is not good.

I hope that you...

... that you�ll get help from somewhere. I can�t help you any more.

But I will always feel -

- that what we had together -

- was fantastic and cannot be compared to anything.

I love you.

Somehow.

But we can�t be together any more.

I think I�ll...

... that I�ll take the camera away from you -

- so it can�t bother you any more.

And maybe I�ll send the tapes later -

- so you can hear my... greeting.

This is my new camera.

I�ve been missing you.

After Berlin I travelled around and came back a short while ago.

My flat was not my flat any more.

I was left with an attic with my stuff and my comic collection.

I sold the collection and bought you instead.

The film continues now...

This is my new flat.

Right... Look here. Look here, my friend.

Little angels are watching me.

Who is it?

What do you want?

Okay... Sure. Come in.

Yes, it�s been a long time.

Yes, but listen...

Christoffer... Boe.

It�s nice of you to offer me a leading part, but...

I don�t think I should be in your films.

Stop crying for God�s sake! Stop it.

I�ve moved on. My life has changed.

I�m a happy person. A happy person.

Don�t lie on the floor, man. Don�t touch me!

Stop it. Go away! No, I don�t want you to hug me.

Back off! Stop it.

Get out! I�ll push you, if I want to!

Get out! I fucking hate you, and that�s life.

No, don�t come back.

Damn!

That�s it.

I told you to leave, Christoffer.

Hi, dad.

Don�t, dad.

Don�t be so sad. I can�t bear it.

I love you too.

There, there...

No. We�ll start all over again.

You�re so weak.

You�re so grey.

I�ll put you here. Sleep tight.

I�ll lie down next to you and watch over you.

We have to watch over each other.

Hi, Nicolas. You�re asleep.

And I just want to tell you that -

- this is not something I wanted.

I never meant to hurt you so badly.

I�m sorry it should...

... end likke this.

But you have to understand that you have changed a lot.

And I worry a lot about you.

This camera...

... this project, doesn�t do you any good.

You�re not well, Nicolas.

You�re in a bad state and I hope you kknow somehow -

- that this is not good.

I love you.

Somehow.

But we can�t be together any more.

I think I�ll takke the camera away from you -

- so it can�t bother you any more.

And maybe I�ll send the tapes later, so you can hear my...

... greeting.

Takke care.

Keep it down! There, there...

Keep it down, please. Be quiet.

Damn, that hurt!

Could I have another drink, please?

Make it a double.

I�m standing in the street, and then I hit her with a fucking baseball bat.

I hit her with a fucking bat! Then I grab her by the legs -

- and pull her along, and suddenly she comes to -

- and starts screaming. ��Be quiet, sweetie.��

- ��Shut the fuck up, woman!�� - Next time you punch her.

Cheers!

Suddenly the lights go out, and she tears at my fucking balls.

She tears at my balls and runs off.

When I get back into the street some asshole had stolen my bat.

- May I have another double? - All that talking makes you thirsty.

It was only a joke, you know. Only a joke.

Nicolas?

Nicolas... Remember me?

- Who are you? - I�m from Alphaville.

Alphaville?

One of Christoffer Boe�s henchmen?

- Aren�t you very, very drunk? - I don�t care what you say.

This is Nicolas. This is Amalie...

- Hi. - Say a proper �hello�.

- We�ll be leaving now. - I�ll be right with you.

- Cheers. - Cheers!

May I film you, Nicolas?

Nicolas? Are you okay?

I�m pissing.

- I�m going with you, honey. - No.

Nicolas?

- I�m holding your camera. - I�ll be right with you.

- Will you see me home? - I�ll make sure you get home.

You�re so sweet. You�re the best. I�ll sing a song for you.

- Use the camera. - I�m shooting all the time.

You naughty girl.

Tell me where your friends are.

You can�t go to my place all alone.

You can�t come here alone, alone, alone...

Is this the place?

Yes, it�s fucking here. Lene...!

Lene, come with me and make love.

Lene, come and make love to me.

- You have to open the door. - I�m going nowhere.

- Lene... - My name�s Mathilde.

Mathilde!

You really need to sleep now. Where are your keys?

Listen, in a moment I�ll smash you up.

No, she�s so cute. I�ll smash her up.

- Come on. - Don�t want to.

- Come on, now. - You can�t be serious.

- Nicolas, can you hear me? - Yes.

- You have to go upstairs now. - I don�t want to.

Are you going now? I�ll be with you in two minutes.

- Those city bikes are so cool... - Let�s go upstairs.

- You are going to bed now. - Right.

You can�t come along. You have to stay away from me -

- for I am evil.

- I�m mean. - Well, you�re drunk alright.

- Now you�re home. - Okay.

Thanks for a nice... Okay?

- I am... - Stay for a glass of water.

No, some other time. I made sure you came home...

No, stay a while, now that you�re here.

Just for a while.

Are you re-decorating or what?

My, my.. Okay, a glass of water.

A tiny glass of water.

- Are you okay? - Yes, I just have to...

Are you pretending to be in Big Brother or something?

- I�ll bring a glass of water now. - A glass of water. Thanks.

I promise.

But you have to be clean!

Let�s clean you up a bit.

Are you badly hurt?

Are you badly hurt, sweetie? Aw...!

Have you been missing me?

As much as I have been missing you?

I�m so glad to hear that!

I love you.

I love you.

Do you love me?

Where�s your make-up? Here...

And I have to look nice as well.

There...

Don�t leave me!

Baby, don�t leave me. Don�t go.

But I want to stay with you!

Then we�ll have to...

Then we�ll make up in bed.

There you go.

Look at me...! I have to go now.

I love you.

I never loved anybody but you.

You�re the best thing that ever happened to me.

I�m sorry.

I�m so sorry, Lene.
