I'm not sure which story
I should tell.

A biography is a life story -

- and we need to find the version
you can stand by.

I'm really just here
to help you bring it out.

Don't be nervous.
We'll take it nice and easy.

It usually comes all by itself.

- Hello, Janne.
- Sorry...

The editor managed to forget
to pour water on the coffee.

I'm very excited about
you two getting started.

I think it will turn out
to be really interesting.

- Right?
- Yes.

I have a meeting in town.
See you this weekend.

- Take care of her.
- See you.

- Can you put the salad on the table?
- Yes, it's coming.

Is everyone ready to eat?

Jan, sit down, will you?

Jan! Eat while it's warm.
I've made an effort.

Jan, shut up!
Welcome, everybody.

- Thank you
- Cheers, handsome!

- Yes, cheers, handsome!
- Aw, you really think so? Thanks.

- I love you all.
- And we love you.

This means a lot to me. You're
the most important people in my life.

I've never had much family myself,
so you're it, and I love you.

Cheers to all of you
for putting up with me.

Please, help yourselves.

My love...
Congratulations.

We all know
that you're a very modest person.

You're incredibly self-effacing,
and you hate praise.

But that won't do tonight,
because there's a lot I have to tell you.

The day we stood in front
of the pastor, she told us:

"Love is a vow."

"Love is a promise."

You've kept that vow.

Your name should be on all the medals
I won as a swimmer.

No exception.
Am I right?

And when my swimming career
came to an end -

- I ended up in a...

...a very dark place.

You were there,
and you pulled me back into the light.

Don't forget to mention
that he looks great for his age.

Thanks, Jan.
You're the best dad for Mo.

You're the love of my life
and my light.

Mo, that was your cue...
"My light."

Do you need help?

My light.

Come here. Get in me.

Yeah, you're the type
they write biographies about.

Oh yes, me and Obama.

You're so bloody wonderful.

Hurry up, Mo!
We don't want to be late again.

- Good morning.
- Good morning, Claus!

- What are you looking at?
- Your Insta.

- What's on my Insta?
- It's full of hearts.

Really? What are they saying?
Do I want to know?

"In my next life I want to be
Maria Damm Korsgaard."

- "We only watch sport if Maria is on."
- They love me!

- There are haters too.
- I don't want to know.

- At least you love me.
- Sometimes.

You always love me!

Good morning.

Hi.

Hello. Good morning.

The upcoming European swimming
championships feature a big Danish team.

Emilie Beckmann, welcome.
Who's our best hope for a medal?

Amalie Riising in the 100 metres
freestyle. She holds the Nordic record -

- and has optimised her dive start.

Your own dive start was legendary.
We actually have a clip of you.

Take a look.

My mum taught me to swim.

I was barely four years old.

I loved the feeling of floating through
the water and into my mum's arms.

And the joy I felt.
"I'm swimming, I'm swimming!"

Yeah.

- Your mum died when you were five?
- Yes.

So it was just me,
my dad and swimming.

That's what we did together.
Stroke, breathe, glide.

It had to be seamless.

Then suddenly I won
all the club championships.

I started going to meets
and I was winning those too.

Yeah.

I was just a little tyke from Nakskov,
and I made the national team at 14.

- 14?
- Yes.

So your coach after your dad and
before Mikael was Sean Haggerty.

Sean was all about public weigh-ins
and shaming if you'd gained weight.

It was a different time.

But my dad would always tell me -

- that everything Sean does,
he does to help your performance.

To optimise you and make you
the best version of yourself.

And so what
if he says some harsh things?

But he only coached me
for about six months.

- That's when Mikael came along?
- Yes. Mikael came along.

Sorry, I've got some issues
with my neck and shoulders.

- Oh no.
- They're worn out.

You do around 16,000 strokes
in just one training session.

You're repeating
the same movements over and over.

Most people get over it, but if
you're unlucky it becomes chronic.

Janne: Can you stop by?

- Yeah...
- Okay.

- So you don't swim anymore?
- No, never.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Is it going well with Rosa?
- I think so. I hope so.

- Good.
- You texted?

Yes, one of the other editors
has accepted a novel -

- about a young girl's relationship
with her swimming coach.

- Okay...
- He's quite a bit older than her.

Their relationship is very sexual
and destructive.

And it leaves her with...
Here it is.

Eating disorders, self-harm, pricking her
own scalp with needles... Heavy stuff.

- Who wrote it?
- Katrine Krag.

Katrine Krag...
Never heard of her.

It comes out in a week,
but review copies are already out.

I found out yesterday
and finished reading it today.

- Yes, and?
- I wondered if you'd like to read it?

You know me, I'll never even open it.

Sorry. But thank you.
I'm off to pick up Mo.

It's here if you change your mind.

- Can I steal two of those?
- Yes, but only two.

- See you.
- Bye.

- Hi Sascha!
- Hi!

- How did it go today?
- It went great.

- She does great when she focuses.
- How wonderful.

- That's really great.
- Hi, sweetie.

- Another serving?
- No thanks.

- Best pasta ever, Dad.
- Thank you.

You have to make this for my sleepover.

- Are you fishing for something?
- No.

Mo, are you sucking up?

You're busted! You're so busted!

Well, Gertrud and I
want to go to Sephora.

- We need skincare and mascara.
- That's what your allowance is for.

- She needs skincare and mascara.
- Spend your allowance on it.

- I'm talking to Dad.
- Yes, she is. So, skincare and mascara?

- Of course you need that.
- Put it in the dishwasher.

- I need the loo first.
- Come on, Mo.

The dishes will be waiting for you.
Mo?

Don't look at me, I'm defenceless.

She's my baby girl.

Hello, Jan.
Yes?

- Say hi from me.
- I'm not, but I can step outside.

I'll just go outside.

Okay.

I got your pills from the medicine man.

- What did Jan want?
- To talk about a book.

Apparently someone wrote a book -

- about a charismatic
national coach from the 2000s.

Jan is worried
people might think it's about me.

Katrine Krag?
Who the hell is that?

She's no one I know.

Janne actually mentioned it.

A journalist has contacted
the Swimming Union -

- to ask about
their policy on the subject.

- What subject?
- Harassment.

It sounds serious.
Jan and Halgreen are worried.

They want to set up a meeting
to decide what to tell the media -

- if there will be problems.

- Over a novel?
- Apparently.

It seems totally out of proportion.

- Are you working tomorrow?
- No.

I just have to see Biography-Rosa.

That's a cushy job.

Mikael's approach to coaching was...

...to be caring and supportive.

Suddenly, there was a person
at the edge of the pool who said:

"Maria, I see you."

And with Mikael, it turned into
much more of a collaboration.

He always said it was a shared journey
towards a shared goal.

And I think we all had a crush on him.

But you don't need to write that.

- And you were the one who got him.
- I was very much in love with him.

How old were you then?

I was around 17 or 18.

- Hey.
- Hi, sweetie.

I think I'd like to read that book.

Sure.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

- I've never heard of Katrine Krag.
- Apparently it's a pseudonym.

She died three years ago.

She was 40 years old.
It's unclear whether it was a suicide.

Her mum decided to publish it now.

It's just that...

...a journalist has reached out
to the Swimming Union.

So I think...

- It's probably a good idea to read it.
- Yes.

I don't know what the facts are.

It's tricky when it's autofiction.
Maybe it happened, maybe it didn't.

Maybe parts of it happened.

Read it and then we'll talk about it.

KATRINE KRAG
STILL WATERS

He pays me special attention.

He steals into my soul
like an enchantment.

Light touches, a kind word.

Recognition.

I swim for him. Only for him.

I swim to earn his gaze.

Every success
is a gift I press to my breast.

Two small swollen nipples
that can sense what he wants.

He wants me, and I can almost believe
that I'm someone.

He invites me to his home.

My heart is pounding.

I should turn back,
but infatuation drives me forward.

Soon I'm in his living room.

Soon I'm in his bedroom.

Jan and Julie are on the way.
Could you set the table?

Sure.

- Swimming is an honest sport.
- Football is a sneaky sport.

The worst team can win.
Swimming is about your performance.

- Swimming is just back and forth.
- What the fuck!

He's the head of talent, and I'm
the director of the Swimming Union.

You have some nerve.

We're not afraid of two old men.
You'll be dead soon.

- Okay, get lost, you too.
- Finally. Bye.

Two old men who'll die soon anyway?

Good grief.

Sweetie,
Jan and I have talked about that book.

He says we shouldn't worry.

We were worried for a second.

People make
all sorts of claims these days.

But...

It's just a novel.
No need to worry.

We'll see what happens
when the book comes out.

I've never coached some Katrine Krag.
I've no idea who she is.

Are all these allegations of harassment
ever going to end?

We're all getting a bit fed up, right?

He calls me kittenish.
Kitten. Made for sex.

I have a right to the pleasures
my body offers me.

His mouth. His skin.

His hard penis.

I'm no longer a virgin.

No one can know what we have together.
No one can take it from us.

Maria?

Yes?

- Hey.
- Hey.

- What are you doing?
- I'm just reading.

What's going on?

Maria?

I got it from Janne.

Oh. Well, what is it?

It's a young girl's
semi-erotic fantasy.

- I see.
- Yeah.

I don't know...
Maybe you should just read it.

Unfortunately, it didn't go
as hoped for Amalie Riising.

Let's take a look at her race.

Here we are.

Is Dad in a book?

Why do you ask?

Someone from the swim team
posted something on Insta.

It's a book about swimming
in the old days.

Okay?

- Is Dad in it?
- I have no idea.

A GIRL'S LIFE TORN TO PIECES

What's going on?

The Union's phones are on fire,
and Jan is at his wits' end.

It's bad press for the Union when
a swimmer abuses prescription drugs -

- struggles with an eating disorder
and self-harms.

I know who she is.

Her name is not Katrine Krag.
It's Camilla Kaas.

Camilla Kaas?

Did you sleep with her?

- Did you?
- Maria...

- Did you sleep with her?
- Dammit, Maria...

This was long before you and me.
And it didn't happen like the book says.

- Why didn't you tell me?
- What do you mean? I just read it.

- Maria...
- Did you sleep with her?

Look, I never did anything
she didn't want to do.

She was determined.
She was the one who wanted it.

And she wasn't 14.
She was 18.

She wasn't on the team then.
I wasn't even her coach.

She offered me blowjobs in the gym,
in the loos, anywhere.

She was the one who stalked me.

Everyone is talking about this book,
and yet you didn't even consider...

- You didn't consider it could be her?
- What can I say? No.

You didn't think to tell me about it?

I haven't thought about her in 25 years!

Not for a fucking second.

And it didn't happen the way
she wrote it. It wasn't like that.

She's dead. She wrote a novel.
It's far out, okay?

It's completely irrelevant to us!

I'm off now.

Hi, Jan.
Yes... Yes.

Sweetie, it's almost time to go.

You need to get ready.

Are you listening?

- It's your Insta?
- My Insta?

Why are you looking at that?

Can I see?

Do you have a diagnosis?
Is your husband the coach in the book?

Her husband is the nonce
from 'Still Waters'!

Don't look at my profile, sweetie.
Promise me you won't?

- You don't need to read that.
- Can I stay home?

This really sucks.

Do you have to go?
Can't you stay home too?

I can't cancel today.
I'm going to be on air.

You can stay home.

Sascha will be here around 3.30.

I'll hurry home.

- Have you been on social media?
- What do you mean?

Due to the nature of this case -

- we've decided to act quickly
and take you off air for a few weeks.

There are three days left
of the Championships.

Yes, but the viewers can't ignore
the fact that you're married to Mikael.

Okay, but...

It's not like Mikael has been charged
with anything, right?

No one has accused him of anything.
It's just a book. A novel.

With cases like this,
more details tend to surface.

We need to stay ahead of that.
You'll be off air for a while -

- but continue your editorial work.

Hi, Janne. I've just been taken off air.

- Are you serious?
- Yes. For a few weeks.

Yes, well...

Do you even stop to think about the
repercussions of autofiction like that?

- This is driving me crazy.
- Yes, obviously.

- They didn't take you off for good?
- No, they didn't.

I'm sorry. It's just...

Mo didn't want to go to school today.

Right. Okay.

- Hi, Maria.
- Hi.

Wow, that's so pretty.

Hello, you two.

- I'm going to pick up some food.
- It's very nice.

How did it go today?

You had a hard time
focusing today, right?

Maybe the phone
was a little more interesting?

But you're getting much better.
And that's a very cute skirt.

- See you on Thursday.
- Bye.

Did it go okay today, sweetie?

- Sascha comes here to tutor you.
- I just wanted to show her my skirt.

I'm talking about your phone.
Put it away when she's here.

It's not my fault
my phone is blowing up right now.

Is that book about Dad or not?

Sweetie, listen.
Dad used to coach the national team.

A swimmer who's passed away
has written a novel.

Some people think a character
in that book is similar to Dad.

- Do you think so too?
- No, sweetie.

It's just a novel.

People are just...

They're just jealous of Dad -

- because he's so
amazingly good at what he does.

- Jealous?
- Yes, there's a lot of jealousy.

Someone who's jealous of Dad wrote
about him? And then she killed herself?

- Mozy...
- Did she kill herself?

You need to stop that.

It's not Dad's fault if someone
commits suicide, okay?

She took her own life
20 years after Dad knew her.

Put it away. Do you understand?
This is important?

This isn't Dad's fault.

Maria? I got Thai food.
Are you coming?

Oh great.
It's beeping and making weird noises.

- It's the filter. I'll take care of it.
- I've been taken off air.

What?

Yeah, for the next three weeks.

- What the hell is wrong with them?
- What do you think?

- I don't know.
- I'm married to you.

What do we tell Mo?
There's all this stuff online...

I can't deal with that now.

I just came from an emergency meeting
with Jan and the board.

They want to issue a press release,
but if we respond to false allegations -

- we're acknowledging it
in some fucked-up way.

The food's getting cold.

Mozy? Are you coming?

I'm not hungry.

- Should I eat by myself?
- No, it's just...

Jan e-mailed me a draft of
the press release, so I have to read it.

They won't even let me write it.

- What does it say?
- Well...

"'Still Waters' describes the swimming
world as it may have looked years ago."

"But when it comes to the suspicions -

- that have arisen about my character,
I do not recognise the account."

"I've coached the Danish and Swedish
national teams and many youths -

- and no one has ever complained."

"I'm at a loss to understand
the allegations that I've hurt people..."

"... and crossed their lines."

"The coach in 'Still Waters' -

- does not reflect the values
I have always stood for."

"Signed,
Mikael Korsgaard, Head of Talent."

- That sounds okay.
- I don't know. I'll do what Jan says.

They'll run it by the media advisor,
and then that'll be it.

- Let's eat.
- Yeah.

They weren't happy
with the e-mail from Jan.

I have to go in tomorrow morning
and attend an emergency meeting -

- with the media advisor,
slash crisis specialist.

Would you come with me?

It's well-written.

She elicits sympathy.
She even died young, so she's a martyr.

Everyone wonders
why she took her own life.

Was it a result of the coach's harassment?

I understand why you'd phrase it like
this, but it's not the right approach.

Okay.

You write that
you don't recognise the description?

That's equivalent to calling her a liar.

You say you've coached here and there
with no complaints against you -

- which again undermines
her credibility.

You say the coach
in the novel isn't you?

Nothing to discuss. You're innocent.
Why not add it was a different time?

But she...

This is fiction. It's a novel.
She made all of this up.

- None of it can be proven.
- The truth doesn't matter.

This is about storytelling.
We need to get out of the spotlight.

Someone's decided
this could be the truth about you.

In this type of case
you're guilty until proven innocent.

We need to show the public
a different version of you.

A new version.

So that people can forgive you.

Okay.

A new press release
in which you fully concede.

An unequivocal apology
with an unspoken plea for forgiveness.

You were devastated to read about
the woman's unhappy, all-too-short life.

'Still Waters' has been an eye-opener.

It's made you reflect
on your career -

- the responsibility
that comes with status -

- and the delicate balance
of the teacher-student relationship.

You believe anyone who reads
the novel will understand this.

You'll do some self-examination,
not just for yourself -

- but for the swimming community
and your future work with young people.

But I didn't do the things she wrote.

Why should I have to confess
to something I didn't do?

- Legally, you haven't done anything.
- Right.

This is about you taking control
of your own narrative, okay?

By saying I did it?

Yes.

- Why are we sleeping there?
- It'll be late.

We promised Janne
we'd help with the party.

- Aren't you going to answer?
- No.

Let's see if we can find
a parking spot...

- Hello?
- Hi. Is your mum or dad there?

Hello? Who's this?

Janus Beckmann from The Liberal Papers.
We hear you've been taken off air?

Do you realise
you've called my daughter's phone?

- Okay, but now that I have you...
- No, it's not okay.

You can't do that.

Would you care to comment on the rumours
about your husband's sexual behaviour?

Promise me not to answer your phone
if you don't recognise the number?

I don't understand
what it is Dad's done?

He hasn't done anything.
He's the best dad in the world.

If anyone asks you anything tonight,
just tell them -

- that you have the best dad
in the world, okay?

Jan told me they've taken you off air?

Yes. But it's only temporary.

Jan is under a lot of pressure.

I think...

- Today's my birthday!
- Yeah!

I'm thrilled you're here,
but where are all the presents?

- I got a book for the editor.
- I love books.

Ester Cox here will make you
so wet you slide off your chair.

Ladies, listen.
Okay, okay.

"Abigail is beautiful,
single and strapped for cash."

"But what begins innocently -

- soon becomes a journey
into a dark and lustful world -

- of power, sex and submission."

"'Look at me', he commands."

"I feel the heat rising
and my lips part. I'm wet now."

I'm sorry,
things are just crazy here.

I'm getting calls and texts from
all sorts of unknown numbers.

I just hung up on one.
Something's going on. It scares me.

Listen, go grab the sedatives
from my bedroom drawer.

Take one, go lie down
and watch something on TV.

Take it easy.

- We'll be back tomorrow morning.
- Okay.

It's me. Can I come in?

- Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm okay.

It just feels as if Mikael...

Apparently we owe it
to the world to take responsibility -

- for Camilla Katrine Krag Kaas's
masterful autofiction.

It's like everyone's forgotten what
a beloved and wonderful coach he was.

People were crazy about him!
Everyone loved him!

He would never do that to a young girl.
It's crazy to accuse him of it.

It's insane!

If anyone's a victim here, it's Mikael!
Mikael and my family are the victims.

We were all in love with him.

It's normal for young girls to fall
in love with their coach or teacher.

It's not weird.
I pursued him and I got him.

I was the one who wanted him.
Not the other way around.

I knew what I was doing.
I wasn't stupid.

It's just so crazy.

What did you tell Rosa
about all of this? I'd like to know.

Biography-Rosa. Did you say anything
about me and Mikael?

It feels like you told her
something about what you know.

- I have a right to know.
- No, I didn't.

It feels like you've used our confidence
to monetise my story.

Maria, stop.
We'll put the biography on hold.

That's what we'll do.

Okay, you've just decided that?

You don't want to ask my opinion?
No one asks how I feel about this.

Do they?
Or about how my daughter feels?

No one thinks about that.

Just delete those recordings.
There's not going to be a biography.

Please stop.
I'm not pulling away from you.

- It feels like you are.
- Okay, I'm your best friend.

I'm standing right here.

- It doesn't feel like it.
- I'll always be here.

I know everything is crazy right now.

- I'm in so much pain.
- I know.

Is it safe to take those
when you've had wine?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Why are they from Thailand?

They're just painkillers.

Mikael gets them for me.
My doctor won't prescribe any more.

Mikael's just looking out for me.

Right...

Hello?

- Hello?
- Hi, it's Jan. Where are you?

I'm at Janne's.

- What's going on?
- Are you keeping tabs on Mikael?

- What do you mean?
- He just called me.

He sounded slurred and incoherent.

He said he was going
to the store to buy rope.

Then he hung up.
I'm going over there now.

Okay, you're on the way?
I'm leaving in a minute.

What's wrong, Mum?

I need to take off for a bit.

Janne will make
some breakfast in a little while.

Just go back to sleep.

Mikael?

Mikael?

- Hi.
- Hi.

You need to read this.

It was a good idea
with that media advisor.

Just concede to everything
and show remorse. Great idea.

They've sent out the press release,
so emotions are stirring.

Now Mie Rytter has come forward.

UNDER THE SURFACE

Eva Nygreen and Fonsmark.
Suzette Bang. Suzette...

And two who remain anonymous,
of course.

Rytter?

Julie's sister?

- Why didn't you say anything?
- I didn't know about Julie's sister.

- This is difficult for all of us.
- Oh, really?

For all of us?

It's happy hour
at the shooting booth.

Let's just blame it all on Mikael
and let him take the fall.

- You should go sleep it off.
- Oh, you think so?

Look at me.
Let's go get some rest.

What do we do?
I don't know what to do.

We've talked about it at length.

About how to tackle this.

We think we need to...

...keep a low profile for a while.

At least while Mikael is on a timeout.

- But...
- This is hard for us too.

I have a job and a family
to think of as well.

Mo:
Is Dad okay?

Maria: Dad's fine, don't worry.
See you soon. Xxx

Leave it. Don't.

Now the board is chiming in too.

- I don't understand what's happening.
- No.

What have I done?

Did I tell Eva Nygaard
that she looked nice?

Did I? Maybe I did.
She looks nice.

Did I give Linse a hug
when she broke the record? Yes.

I probably did.

They must be making it up
because they want attention.

They're nobodies now, and they think
this will make them somebody again.

Rytter is offended that I gave her
a pair of short shorts 15 years ago.

All the girls were wearing them,
and her mum was on welfare -

- so I bought her a pair to be nice.
And now she feels violated.

What have I done?

Maria?

Are you going to leave me?

Who are you talking to here?

It's Maria, your wife.

Did you forget
what we promised each other?

You have to say it.

I'm not going to leave you.

Planet Earth was created from
a gas cloud 4.6 billion years ago...

Hi, Mozy.

The cloud contracted
and became a planet.

Hey.

Sascha just texted to say
she won't be coming Tuesday.

I don't think she has much time
to tutor you anymore.

- I won't see Sascha anymore?
- We'll find someone else.

Okay?

- Is this because of Dad?
- No, it's not.

She has her own studies
and exams and all that.

Why are you with Dad?

He's much older than you.

And now he's a creep too.

You know he isn't.

Mo? Hey...

Don't be ashamed
of your dad and me, okay?

How did it go today?

- Great. They fired me.
- They fired you?

After those six women came forward,
my persona and behaviour -

- were deemed incompatible
with the values in Danish swimming.

But you know what?
It's actually fine.

- It's fine?
- Yes, the ball is rolling now.

It's going full speed.

I'm free to say whatever I want now.
I'm not wearing a muzzle anymore.

- So, what?
- So I'll defend myself.

I'm not going to let people
drag me through the dirt.

Lots of people want to hear my story.
I already have an appointment -

- with Bondesen who does
that Radio 1 show.

I think that's a really bad idea.

It's a bad idea.
You'll make everything worse.

Worse than what?
I've lost my job and my life.

They took you off air.
Worse than what?

Did they take me to court or report me?
People are out there, judging me.

They're judging me?
Is it because they want my job?

- Should I just let them?
- Yes, I think so.

Someone wrote a novel.
She wrote a novel!

You'll just be stoking the flames.

The problem is that she's dead,
so I can't confront her.

She doesn't exist.
I can't even sue her for defamation.

You'll be stoking the flames
by going on the radio.

Oh yes, the women
who are reacting now -

- because they didn't
speak up back then.

They were grateful
for the compliments back then -

- but now they suddenly have PTSD!
It's pathetic.

So yes, I need to tell my version,
because I do have one.

I have nothing
to be ashamed of, okay?

I have an appointment
Thursday at 9 a.m. Live.

Mikael, a number of swimmers
corroborate Krag's version of events.

Soon after, you're fired
from the Swimming Union.

I imagine this calls for
some self-examination?

When you coach elite swimmers
you need to push them.

That's what they want. No one
wants to be number seven or eight.

All they want is to be number one.
It's my job to get them there.

When six former elite swimmers
describe unwanted touches -

- and a sexualised culture,
there must be something there?

I express my feelings.
Both affection and aversion.

That combination
can be complicated for some people.

How so?

Suddenly your career is over, you're
not getting much attention anymore -

- and you feel a need
to blame someone else.

So you write a narrative you can
live with: My coach violated me.

But were you violated
just because you say so?

Chris: Will you come
and see me in my office?

Hi.

Management are worried. The interview
has sparked a wave of negative comments.

People know Mikael is your husband,
so management are requesting -

- an unequivocal statement
from you as soon as possible.

They want me to make a statement?

But...

I'm not Mikael.
Why do I need to make a statement?

As a former swimmer,
you take exception to Mikael's remarks.

You don't share his opinions.

You fail to recognise
the description...

His description of elite athletes.
Something like that.

That's...

I can't do that.

Surely you can see that?
He's my husband.

Then I suggest you go on sick leave
starting today.

- We'll prepare a press release.
- Isn't there a way...

You're seeking new challenges.
Something positive.

Then it's not related to Mikael.

Hi.

They're not renewing my contract.

I've been fired.

Mikael?

Calm down, love.

I've ruined everything.

You need to take Mo
and get away from here.

- No, I'm right here.
- You need to get away.

- I'm right here.
- Get out of here! Go!

This will pass.

It'll quiet down,
and they'll find a new scapegoat.

That's how it is.
We'll get through this.

Together.
Mikael and Maria.

Let's cook that dinner
and sit down and eat it like always.

Okay?

Hey, Mozy.

- I'm never going back to school.
- What happened?

They're sending me
all kinds of nasty messages.

Show me.

Sweetie, show me what they're saying.

You need to give me the phone
so I can see.

I need to see what they're saying.

- Stop.
- Give me the phone.

Stop.

Your dad is a paedophile.
How does your dad's cock taste?

Who's writing this to you?

- Why didn't you tell me?
- Give me my phone!

- No!
- You're both disgusting!

You're done reading this shit!
Your dad loves you. He'd never do that!

You're done reading this shit!

This has to stop.

Sweetie...

- Hey.
- Maria, I need to talk to you.

- What is it?
- I was just talking to Cousin Preben.

He asked if we want to borrow
his house on Gran Canaria.

We can live there as long as we want
if I do some work on the house.

I mean...

They've built an amazing pool.

He needs me to build a kitchen
because the Spanish handymen quit.

- Gran Canaria?
- That's how I felt too.

But swimming is a major sport there.

He told me he could get you a job.

As a swimming coach.

- There are international schools...
- We can't afford it.

We can't. We also got that e-mail from
the bank, but I'm too worn out to read it.

Fuck that, Maria.
We'll rent out the house.

Let's sell the dump.
Or put a match to the whole thing.

Everything except you and Mo.

Peace. Sun.

We'll be together. Just us.

- Yes, maybe.
- Away from all this.

Marry me, Maria.

Marry you?
We're already married.

We'll renew our vows down there.
The three of us. You, me and Mo.

In the church where Preben and Anja
got married.

That small, beautiful church.

We'll start over.

Almighty God,
who created man and woman -

- to live together in marriage
and blessed them -

- we ask you to bless
this bride and groom.

Let them always live by your grace -

- and in mutual love.

Dear Heavenly Father -

- give them grace, happiness
and blessings for the soul and body.

May they cherish one another
with faithful love -

- and serve you in all things.

So that they may live
as your beloved children -

- and be united with you once more
in the eternal dwellings.

In the name of the Father,
the Son and the Holy Spirit.

- See you later.
- Have a good day at school!

- It was a bad rock.
- That was terrible!

Aren't you coming, honey?

Come on, honey!

Come on, Mum!

You don't have to swim.
Just take a dip.

Mum...

- Hi!
- Hello, my darling!

- What's up?
- Just a quick call...

I'm just organising my files...

Well, we deleted Rosa's recordings -

- but I found the transcriptions.

- Yes?
- I don't like just throwing them out.

- Maybe you should have them?
- No, I'm not touching that biography.

- I don't want them.
- Right. Okay.

- I really don't.
- Okay, but I'll send them to you.

- Then you can decide what to do.
- No, don't. Just delete them.

Okay... There's something else.
Maybe you already know.

But I just thought I'd tell you.

Camilla Kaas's mum has given
an interview about 'Still Waters'.

I didn't want you
to hear this elsewhere...

Listen, Janne, I don't want to hear it.

I don't want this, okay?
This has to stop.

We've moved down here,
and we don't even read the Danish news.

We need to move on now.

- We need to move on.
- I'm sorry.

It's fine. Thank you for calling.
I'll talk to you another time.

- Talk to you soon.
- Bye.

Hi.

Hi, sweetie.

Hey.

- Who was that?
- My teacher.

Your teacher?

What's wrong?

- I just have a stomach ache.
- Okay.

Everything hurts.
My skin, my hair, my scalp.

I used to be his girl. Now I sleep
on a mat by the door, like his dog.

He doesn't call me by my name
anymore. He calls me "stalker".

The shame stomps
the remnants of me to pieces.

This was an excerpt from 'Still Waters'.

Ultimately, it was your choice
to publish her book.

Yes,
Camilla had her doubts and so did I.

Reading it made me so angry -

- that I wanted everyone to know
what she had been through.

- You sent it to a publishing house?
- Yes.

My daughter's story is about a person,
who didn't dare to share her pain.

I didn't know what went on back then
until I read the book.

If only I'd known
what she'd got herself into...

My little girl.

I noticed you're low on pills.

Oh, the pool guy showed up today.

How was Mo's day at school?

- Fine, I think.
- Good.

Janne has...

Janne sent me an interview.

Camilla's mum gave it.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

- So the ball is rolling again.
- No. It's just...

What?

I'm just trying
to make sense of everything.

I'm just trying
to put all the pieces together.

Trying to figure out what's real.

What happened or didn't happen.
That's all.

It's just...
How old was she when it started?

Okay.

I met her before you joined the team.
A couple of years before.

- The national team.
- Yes, so you said.

She was very eager, but she wasn't
strong enough or tall enough.

And she was...

...all over me.

What can I say? I already told you,
so why are we talking about this?

I just need to know how old she was.

- Was she 14 or 15 like in the book?
- She was 18, okay?

And these interrogations...

- They need to stop, okay?
- Yes.

There's no other way
to get through this.

All right. Let's eat dinner.

I've grilled a fish and we're
in fucking Spain. Now go get Mo.

We'll converse like a family.

"Spanish tomatoes are delicious.
How much was the ham?"

"I sure hope the pool guy
comes back soon." Stuff like that.

Can we please do that?

Yes.

Sweetie?

Mo, open the door.

What's wrong, sweetie?

Huh?

I've got it.

You've got it?

I'm bleeding.

Sweetie.

You're bleeding...
Why didn't you tell me?

It's okay. I'll show you
exactly what to do, okay?

I'll fetch some things,
and we'll get it all sorted.

Okay, sweetie?

Toilet paper
doesn't work very well for this.

There we go...

Can I have a pill?
It really hurts.

I understand, but let's wait and see
how bad it gets -

- before we give you anything.

But you take pills all the time.

Let me fetch you a pad and then
I'll show you what to do, okay?

- Come here.
- Mum...

Everything's okay.

Isn't 13 a bit young to get your period?

- No, it's normal.
- Oh.

How old were you?

It was different for me.

What do you mean?

The stress hormones from training
kept me from getting my period.

- Do you want to come with me today?
- I can't find my phone.

It's right here.

- Why are you Googling paracetamol?
- Because I'm in pain.

You Googled how many
you'd need to take to end your life.

I was led to a site where some girls
were discussing suicide.

- Are you taking my pills?
- No.

- Mo, are you taking my pills?
- You're so fucking far out.

Sascha suggested I take some pills
if I have cramps.

- Sascha?
- Yes.

Why do you write to her?

You discuss things like that
with your tutor?

Yes, she's good to talk to.

But you should come to me.
I'm your mum.

You should come to me
if you're having a hard time.

Get out of my room.
Leave!

- Hi, Sascha, this is Maria.
- Hi, Maria.

I'm calling because I've learnt
you're still in touch with Mo.

To be completely honest, I'm...

- Well, I'm very worried.
- Yes?

She Googled paracetamol and told me -

- that you were the one
who suggested it?

Yes. Mo has called me several times
and been very upset.

So I've talked to her. This ordeal
has been incredibly difficult for her.

And... it might not be easy for her
to talk to you two about it.

No, but it would have been nice
if you'd given me a call.

Will you promise me that if Mo contacts
you again because she's struggling -

- that you'll give me a call?

Yes.

- Is that a deal?
- Yes.

Maria, I'm going to send you something
I think you need to read.

What do you mean?

I didn't want to interfere.
I chose not to say anything back then.

I really liked the job.

Mikael paid me almost
twice what I was supposed to get.

I was probably embarrassed,
so I didn't tell him to stop.

I'm not sure I know
what we're talking about right now?

You should read his texts,
then you'll know.

Okay? Take care, Maria.

Yes, take care.
Thank you. Bye.

- Sorry Mo was late.
- That's okay.

Your top was really cute.

- It's nice on a hot day.
- You did look hot.

- I wonder what you're wearing.
- My top, of course.

Because you know I like it?

Sascha sent me your text exchange.

Sascha?

Yes, did you forget who Sascha is?

Mikael, I don't even know...

- I don't understand.
- You wrote her sleazy texts.

Very sleazy.

The whole world is furious at you -

- and I've been supporting you.

I just don't understand it.
What...

Why would you do that?

Look at me.
What are you trying to get out of it?

I'm just trying to understand
why you'd do that? Why?

It's nothing, okay?

- Why?
- It's nothing, Maria!

It's just flirting.
It's a fleeting thought.

Cute girl, sweet text.
Then it's over and done.

Maria, we all have issues.
You take pills, and I flirt.

You know me, dammit!
I like women. I think they're wonderful.

But it doesn't mean anything.

How old was I...

...the first time we kissed?

Mikael, how old was I
the first time we kissed?

- Goddammit, Maria...
- No, we can't lie now.

- Maria, stop it!
- Mikael, you're going to lose me.

We can't keep lying.

We can't lie anymore, because then...

We need to tell the truth
about the way things are.

And the way things were.

How old was I
the first time we had sex?

- Old enough.
- You need to say it. You need to.

Because you do remember.

I don't know, Maria.
I don't remember.

I do remember.

I had just turned 15.

Just a bit older than Mo.

And how old were you?

How old were you?
You were 30.

- You were 30.
- So what? It was you and me.

It was you and me.
We loved each other.

- What is this?
- I don't know.

I don't know what it is. I don't know.

I don't know what my life...

I don't know how all of this started.
Or why it started.

I don't know.
I just don't know.

That's why I'm asking you.

I don't know why it's so...

...so painful.

I just don't know.

Maria?

Maria?

- Where are my pills?
- I've given you everything I have.

I...

I love you, and I've loved you
since the very first day.

I was a child, Mikael.

The first day we...

I was a child then.

I don't know what story
you're telling right now.

Are you a victim of harassment now too?

Because if you choose to believe
that story, we can't be together.

Do you understand?

Mo?

Sweetie?

Sweetie, can you hear me?

Sweetie?
Did you take my pills?

I only took one.

Are you sure?
Are you sure, my love?

I can't listen to you two anymore.

I can't listen to any more of it.

Are you leaving me?

Just tell me, dammit.
Tell me that you're leaving me.

Tell me.

Tell me that you're walking out on me
and taking my daughter.

You're taking her from me
and destroying our family.

- Tell me!
- Who's the one destroying our family?

- Who's destroying our family?
- Why can't you just forgive me!

Did you even try to take in
what that book was saying?

Did you try to take it in?
Did it move you at all?

Did you try listening?

Did you for once listen to what
she was trying to tell you? Huh?

You don't listen.

This is not about
whether I can forgive you!

Let go of me. Let go!

You and I are going home.

Are you leaving Dad?

I'm not sure what will happen.

The only thing I do know
is that you and I are going home.
