PREVIOUSLY

You asked me why I became a teacher.

To protect children against their parents.

RITA Teacher

I always look forward to seeing you.

RASMUS Principal

- Could you tone it down? - Why is she so important?

We're getting married.

RICCO Rita's eldest son

- Rita hates me. - She can't be that bad.

- No, she's not. - Yes, she is.

BITTEN Ricco's girlfriend

My mother just took off.

These are the rules: You don't interfere in our lives.

LILLEBETH Rita's mother

- Is there anything you'd like to do? - I was thinking about being a nurse.

MOLLY Rita's daughter

- You don't have to pick me up. - Are you embarrassed over me?

Is it odd for me to come here, seeing as my mom's here, too.

JEPPE Rita's youngest son

No. Not at all.

And each category has subcategories.

So, fiction could be ... what?

- Yes, Rosa? - Poetry?

What else?

Milas?

- Books. - Books are many things.

Books can be technical literature. What kind are you thinking of?

- Books with stories. - What do we call them?

- Novels. - Novels, yes.

That leaves one category in the chart. Can anyone tell me what that is?

Anybody?

- Andrea? What was that? - A text.

Thank you. Apart from interrupting class, Andrea answered the question.

Electronic text. Good.

Join your groups and fill in the chart.

I have E and snow. What do you need?

THE HYPOCRITE

- Hi. Have you seen Andrea? - She's in the classroom.

- Andrea? - Yes.

- Do you have minute? - Yes ...

Come.

- A text came on your phone. - What text?

Offering you E or snow. They didn't mean letters or bad weather.

- It was probably a wrong number. - Stop it.

- You can't accuse me like that. - I'm just talking to you.

I'm not doing anything.

Andrea, this is serious, and it's dangerous. Do you realize that?

Grown-ups don't say it to be annoying. It really is dangerous.

Andrea!

Then I'll have to ask your mother to come in for a meeting.

Come in.

- Hi, Grandma. - We're taking a trip.

- Where are we going? - You'll see. Come.

- Is this a hospital? - It's a hospice.

It's a place where terminal patients receive care.

What are we doing here?

If you want to be a nurse ... I spoke to the manager.

She needs an assistant. You can't do nurse work, but you can clean -

- and talk to the residents. Just be there for them.

- I don't know, if I can do that. - Just do what you do with me.

- Will you help with the application? - She knows you're dyslexic.

She agreed to see you for an interview.

- When? - Here she is.

I'll go visit my friend. Good luck, sweetie.

- Hi. Liselotte. Welcome. - Hi ... Molly.

Eat! There's bla-bla-bla. And some bla-bla-bla.

- Thank you. - Nikolaj, have some meat.

- I'm a vegetarian. - Oh! Like Hitler?

No, like the thousands of people who care about animal welfare.

I always thought it was funny that Hitler was a vegetarian.

I was a vegetarian once, and I lost 4 kilos.

Well you found them again, sweetie.

You look perfect, Bitten.

- I actually have gained weight. - Don't cater to the sick model ideal.

I don't. I'm pregnant.

- Really? - What?

- Congratulations! - Aunt Molly! Wooh!

- Honey, congratulations. - Thanks, Mom.

Wow.

- Are you happy? - Yes! Yes, yes, yes. I am!

I'm very happy.

- You're just very young. - It wasn't exactly planned.

But it happened. It fits in with when I get my bachelor's degree.

And I'll have had my children before I start working.

You're so on top of everything.

- Mom, are you okay with it? - Yes, I am.

It just comes as a ... Are you sure it's what you want?

Yes. Why?

- You're very young. - So were you.

- Yes, and I know it can ruin things. - Okay. Thanks a lot.

I'm sorry if we ruined your youth.

- No. That's not what I meant. - Then what do you mean?

All I'm saying is ...

... that it ties you down.

- We realize that. - I don't want you to have regrets.

- Why should I regret it? - Well, Ricco might.

When you have a child, there's no way back.

Thanks for dinner.

Ricco, wake up.

Johan is coming. I don't think Peter can make it. Stinna's coming, too.

- Or rather ... the bowling ball. - Why do you call her that?

I don't. The boys in class do.

- And the girls, too. - Why?

'Cause they pick her up, finger her and then thrown away.

That's so sexist. Boys can be cheap, but girls can't.

- You call her cheap, too. - No, the others do.

- I know what it's like to be harassed. - How have you been harassed?

Just ... in all sorts of ways. The way people look at me, for one thing.

That's why we'd rather go out than to their high school parties.

- Can I even get in? - We'll get you in.

It'll be fun. And you did the shopping, right?

What are you doing?

Nothing.

I got a new job.

Oh! Where?

- At a hospice. - A hospice?

- Why? - Because I want to be a nurse.

- You never told me that. - I just did.

- Good night. - Good night.

Rita? Am I interrupting?

Yes.

- I've been talking to Jeppe. - Isn't that confidential?

Yes. But there must also be a relationship of trust -

- between parents and school counselor.

So, you want to know if I trust you.

I know it must be difficult to see me as Jeppe's school counselor.

But we have a joint responsibility in structuring the process.

Jeppe has accepted his sexuality. So have his classmates.

So everything seems fine.

- I see signs of OCD. - Gays love to clean.

If he doesn't improve, I'll send him to a psychologist.

So we need to cooperate on this.

- What do you want me to do? - Set boundaries for him.

He's practically begging for it.

- So? Is it good? - Hmm.

- Is Bitten still upset? - She says she isn't.

Which means that she is, but just about something else.

Then she gets upset 'cause I don't know what she's upset about.

And two negatives don't make a positive. Not with girls, anyway.

No ... Nikolaj is grumpy all the time, too.

Or ... what's it called when you're always offended.

Girly.

I actually thought you were the girl.

See, that would totally offend Nikolaj.

- Why do we have grumpy partners? - Pass.

I guess you just have to live with it when you love them.

Hey, honey.

- What are you watching? - Nothing.

- Is it good? - You watch it.

- What are you doing? - I just want to read a bit.

- What have I done wrong? - I'm sure you can figure it out.

Oh, I forgot to tell you, when we met.

I'm not psychic.

Simba is one year old. His mother can no longer control him.

She lets him play with the other cubs. Before he turns three -

- Simba has left the flock and started searching for his own -

- where he'll be in charge.

- Ricco? - Jeppe said you were over here.

- We need to talk. - Does it have to be right now?

We can do it quickly. You have to treat Bitten better.

You imply to her face that I might regret having a child with her.

Maybe I am rough on her for your sake.

She's bossing you around. She makes all the decisions.

- She's turning you into someone else. - Someone I'd like to be.

- And now you're having a child. - One that we very much want.

- You just want what Bitten wants. - Yes, because I love her.

And it's not Bitten's fault that you've never had that.

- Excuse me? - You brag about never loving Dad.

- You know nothing of relationships. - Okay, Ricco. Stop!

Call me when you're ready to behave.

It's like being a teenager again. I need that.

Getting drunk. Picking up girls.

I should've left years ago.

This is much better for the both of us.

It's tough on Rosa, but she'll get over it.

- Don't you think? - I'm going home.

- I'd like your opinion. - I'm not here as her teacher.

- But you are her teacher. - Book a parent-teacher conference.

Okay ... but you are her ...

I'm not gonna say you did the right thing, 'cause you didn't.

I don't want your guilt or misery ...

- I'm not miserable. - Of course you are!

You're alone and selfish, and your child hates you!

Rita ...

There are signs that Andrea is involved in drug abuse.

- The SSP should be here. - SSP?

School, social services and the police.

The police? She's 14!

No trading has taken place yet thanks to Rita's intervention -

- so for now, we'll just have this talk.

- Do you want to say something? - My friends were just joking around.

If you're doing drugs, now's the time to tell us.

Mom, of course I'm not. You know that.

Andrea, are you familiar with the side-effects of ecstasy?

- I'm not doing ecstacy! - No.

Then you won't mind me telling you about the side-effects.

The elation you feel at first is succeeded by dehydration -

- paranoia, anxiety and a down-trip with intense hallucinations.

- Andrea! - Mom ...

I'm not doing drugs. It was a joke.

There isn't much we can do at this point.

But I strongly urge you to follow up on this at home.

Yes, I can promise you that I will.

Andrea, may I have a word in private?

I don't know who you think you're fooling. Your mother or yourself.

But I can't be fooled. I'm watching you.

- You're such a joke. - What?

You can't be fooled? What about your own kids?

- What do you mean? - What do you think Jeppe's up to?

... it was so boring.

Hi.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

- What's this? - An aspirin.

- Answer me straight! - It is!

- What is this? - An aspirin!

- Aspirin? - Yes.

Okay.

There's only way to find out.

You're so fucked up.

Oops.

That's mine.

It's probably Benedikte ...

- Are you okay? - I think I'd like to be alone.

- It's good that you stayed. - I was in here 30 minutes ago.

She was the same? Yes.

Come.

It's okay, Molly. Come.

We'll sit with Benedikte just like we agreed.

We're here with you, Benedikte.

Goodbye, Benedikte.

We'll tend to Benedikte now and put her in the dress she wanted.

Would you like to help, Molly?

Molly?

Molly. Hi, Grandma.

It went well. I think it was very interesting.

Yes. Yes. I have to go now. See you.

Okay. Bye.

- Hey. You just missed Molly. - Oh, what did she want?

She'd run away from a dead old lady and was afraid to tell Grandma.

- How about you? Hungry? - No, thanks.

I wanted to talk to you about ...

I just wanted to see if ... Did you ever ...

... do ecstasy?

Jeppe, that's not cool. It'll fuck you up.

Tony had an anxiety attack and ran around saying he was dying of thirst.

He ended up drinking his own piss.

- Fuck. - Did you take any?

- Nikolaj and I wanted to try it ... - No.

- So I bought this pill ... - As your brother, I forbid you!

Yeah, well ... It won't happen. Mom ate it.

What?

- Hi. - Hi.

Is there something I can do for you?

- Is this about Jeppe? - Jeppe's my son. I love him.

That's good.

- Is he okay? - Well, yes and ...

I feel like I know him, and don't know him at the same time.

I thought you didn't want to talk to me ...

His head is full of rules. I see them. You see them, too.

- Right? - Yes.

- You're good. - Thank you, Rita.

That means a lot to me.

Was there anything else?

Your hair is alive.

It gets static.

Oops.

Hi.

Hi.

- What are you doing? - I saw a cat.

- I love cats! - Me, too.

I never used to, but then I saw this one.

It was so perfectly cat-like.

- They are! - And I understood it.

I know the feeling.

- Meow. - Meow.

Meow.

Meow.

It was wonderful talking with you.

Hi.

It's so beautiful.

Yes.

It's so good to have someone to share it with.

- Yes. - Come.

We never do stuff like this.

You know that I want ...

Want what?

I want it all with you.

See you tomorrow.

Hello?

Grandma?

Grandma, are you here?

Grandma?

Grandma!

Grandma!

Hi. It's my grandma ... I think she's dead.

20 Pastor Garden. Hurry! I don't like being here alone.

Hello?

Anybody home?

Anyone?

I'm not feeling very well.

Shall I heat up some cocoa for you?

Or would you rather have tea?

What are you doing here?

You're not here. You're just a hallucination.

It's just chemistry.

Drugs fucking with my brain.

In a little while you'll be gone.

I will always be here.

You need to realize you're doing it wrong.

If you think so, I must be doing something right.

My mistakes made me a lousy mother.

Doing the opposite won't make you a good mother.

I fight for my children.

At least it gives them the notion that they're worth fighting for

So were you.

Then you should've done it.

- You were stronger than me. - I was a child.

You still are. Grow up, Rita.

- You're a hallucination. - If you say so.

If you're not, then tell me something I don't know.

You love me.

- Hi, sweetie. - Mom ...

- Is something wrong? - Grandma's dead.
