Original subtitles

-Did the dog get hurt? -Yes, Suzy. A little bit.

Did you give it medicine?

Yes, a little.

Now it's having a nap by the roadside, and then it will be fine again.

That's wonderful, Mum!

Okay…

Could Karianne…

…have done anything differently in this situation?

Maybe kept a better overview while driving.

-Well, actually… -The dog incident was terrible.

Then she wouldn't have hit it,

and would have avoided a lot of trouble.

But after it happened,

was there anything else she could have done?

Karianne, would you like to say something?

I looked around, and there was nobody there.

And I had a child in the car.

Suzy was around five at the time.

She would have been so upset.

There was nothing I could do.

It must have been terrible for the dog.

So you did this out of consideration for Suzy?

Maybe more out of consideration for myself.

It would have taken so much time if…

I thought about my own comfort more than I thought about others.

In other words,

you had no excuse?

No.

I was just thinking about myself.

Thank you, Karianne.

Do any of you know what Karianne should have done?

-Informed the owners. -Yes.

-Possibly contacted the police. -Yes…

That would have made it much easier…

…to come to terms with the loss of the dog.

Exactly!

Yes…

May we conclude…

…that, sometimes, we hurt people…

…we have never met?

-Yes. -Yes.

People we do not see, have feelings too.

Yes…

So:

"People we do not…"

What did I just say? "See…"

"Have feelings too."

Exactly. Thank you, Karianne.

-Could you lie a little more forward? -Yes…

And you have to breathe deeply.

With your stomach.

The shower is really steamy. And the kids,

they throw their toys around everywhere.

Really maximum tough luck.

Ah, you got it.

I was going to grab the soap, and it was probably…

…attached to it.

-And it was totally stuck. -It's not unusual,

so don't you mind.

-Pretty embarrassing. -No reason to be embarrassed!

I have a whole collection of objects people have stuck up their rectum.

When I retire, I would like to publish…

…a picture book.

As a great comment on our age, for better or worse.

-I wouldn't like to be in it. -Everyone would be anonymous.

I think I'll keep this.

Tomasz.

Yes?

-Could you give me a hand? -Yes, of course.

-Like this? -Yes. Thanks.

Looking back, I think…

…that I haven't been really happy since I got my first kid.

Not because I don't like being a mother.

But there has been…

…no time for me after they arrived.

I needed an eye-opener to realize this.

What happened?

One of my sister's girl friends died.

She was my age,

or even a couple of years younger.

But it made me think:

What would I have regretted if I was the one who died?

-And then music was…? -Cut.

What's the problem?

Sorry, Anitra. We have to do it again.

-Elisabeth… -From the top.

Excellent. Just one thing:

Could you say it was your girl friend?

It's a bit intricate if it's your sister's girl friend.

-Are you ready? -Ready.

Two seconds, and I'll fix it.

Hi there.

Hi. May I help you?

-I'm on my way to a meeting with Asle. -Now?

Yes.

Okay. But…

Sit down. Would you like some coffee?

Yes, please.

Café au lait, cappuccino, espresso?

I'll have a cortado, with skimmed milk.

Right…

Did you have a look at it?

Hi, Jørgen!

Good to see you.

I'm in a meeting with some Danes, and on my way to another one.

Sorry, I really am.

-Shit happens. -Glad you understand.

Embarrassing…

We just make another appointment. In the meantime, I'll read the script.

We'll have a new meeting.

-Here you are. -Thank you.

May I bring the script with me?

Talk to Hilde about a new meeting.

I may be a bit touchy right now, but…

-The offer still stands? -Well, actually…

-It wasn't exactly an offer, per se. -Yes…

-Yes, it was an offer. -At a party, late at night.

Asle, it's now.

Maybe I promised too much. Sorry.

This is really bad form.

I'm sorry.

Let's just forget it, okay?

No point in having another meeting?

I don't have the time for this.

There is no offer.

I've had other offers. It would be hard…

…to descend to your level.

-Then this ends right here. -You've only produced garbage.

It's been 15 years since you did anything new.

Your career is over.

Someone should have told you ten years ago.

I'm quite a few years older than him.

And I'm pretty big these days.

Do you know what I see?

What do you see?

That he likes big women.

That's what he wants.

-Are you sure? -Yes.

-Thank you! -You're welcome.

Don't mention it.

I'm so glad people like you exist!

Okay.

-Bye bye. -Yes.

Have a nice day. We'll talk later.

Thank you!

What am I doing?

Nothing. You're just trying things out.

-But I'm not clairvoyant. -No, well…

People need someone to talk to.

It's just a little weird.

Hello, sailor.

Hello, hello …

You wanna see more,

sailor?

-Maybe a little more.-A little more…!

A countryman. How exciting.

What did you want to talk about?

Do you want to talk about anything?

Me?

No.

I just want to sit here…

While you're looking at me.

Do you like me?

-Yes. -Yes?

You've probably never been with anyone like me?

Yes, I have.

-But it's over.-Oh, no…

So you're single?

Don't log out!

No. It's kind of a sad story.

I love sad stories.

No, it's…

We were pretty…

Pretty young when we met. I was about five years ago.

She was…

…very beautiful.

Pretty soon we moved in together.

She had a two year old daughter.

I studied,

she had various jobs.

But we managed pretty well.

And then, suddenly…

-She changed.-Go on, tell me more!

She wanted a different life.

More space,

more things, clothes, vacations…

She was tired of being poor.

I didn't notice she was unhappy.

Then she got pregnant.

She knew that…

…I had a biological father,

whom we might get money from.

So she forced me to leave,

in order to find him.

And I left,

because I was afraid to lose her.

But as soon as I arrived in Norway, I messed up.

I'm such a jerk.

I ruined everything. My God!

As I hit rock bottom, I was told that the child was not mine.

-Tomasz? -And the project turned meaningless.

Tomasz?!

Hi.

Damn, I didn't recognize you.

It doesn't matter.

Sorry.

Hello? Are you there?

Yes.

How are you doing?

Not so bad. Slightly above average.

And you?

I'm good.

New job?

Not exactly my dream job, but…

We needed money.

There's no shame in honest work, as they say.

How old is the baby?

Four months.

Are you with Andrej Lutoslawski?

-Honestly? -Yes.

-What do you take me for? -No, I…

That was just an affair!

-Okay.-Why are you so fussy?

No, I hooked up with a German medical student.

That sounds practical.

But it didn't work out.

So I was single for a while, before I…

Met Bartek.

-Who?-You have to say hello to him.

-No.-Yes!

-Bartek, come here. -Ania, it's not necessary.

You'll like each other. Say hello.

-To whom? -Tomasz.

How are you? Seen my lighter?

Good evening.

Yes…

-Get dressed. -Okay…

Bartek has gotten all of this together.

-Great…-He is an entrepreneur.

But I have to go to bed now.

No, don't go.

-You also have to sleep, right?-No, I'm up at night.

-Are you?-That's when I work.

Then I'll be sitting here all on my own.

But you…

-You've got Bartek. -He'll soon fall asleep on the sofa.

Okay.

Tomasz…

Yes?

We didn't only have hard times?

No.

We had some good years.

How is your family doing?

Mum has been ill.

Is she well again?

Now she is.

But for a few months, it looked bad.

They had to move out,

because of a leakage.

They are still quarreling with the insurance company.

It's not easy.

-Are you there? -Yes.

Give them my regards.

To Elena and Piotr. My God.

I have to get a few hours of sleep before I start working.

I should also go to bed.

-Nice talking to you. -Yes.

I wish you all the best.

Mum.

Just a moment.

Lidia is up. Say hello.

But is that okay?

Yes, of course.

Lidia!

Come here.

-Say hello to Tomasz. -Where?

Look into the camera.

-Hi, Lidia! -Wave.

-I don't see you. -I'm here!

Hi! Are you all right?

Yes, bartek has bought me a PlayStation 4.

Nice of him. Damn…!

As soon as we can afford it,

we'll buy a new apartment, with a bidet.

Have you got a bidet?

No, just a regular toilet.

I have to go to bed now. But you two can keep talking.

I'll be off.

-Bye, Tomasz. -Bye, Ania.

Sit down here.

-Are you there? -Yes.

You have to go to school. Are you doing well at school?

No.

I'm often up late, playing PlayStation.

-But you're doing your homework?-Yes.

But nobody's helping me.

When I need help, feel stuck.

I have problems with English.

I see.

Open your school bag.

When I was a child, I liked to jump and sing.

Father liked to jump and sing with me.

Is.

"Is" father liked to jump and sing with me?

-Maybe. What's the answer? -You have to find the answer.

But I said "is."

In Polish, it's like this:

When I was a child, I liked to jump and sing.

Father liked to jump and sing with me.

-My? -And in English?

-My. -Yes!

It's called possessive adjectives.

Will you remember, Lidia? Possessive adjectives.

I don't need to know. Thank you.

-Was this all your homework?-Yes.

You're my favorite stepfather.

Next to Bartek. He's very kind.

That's fine.

-Have a nice life, Tomasz. -You too, Lidia.

And remember to do your homework, okay?

Goodbye.

Bloody hell!

-Hi! -Hi!

Nice.

Yes.

I think this is against the rules.

There are very strict rules in the neighborhood.

I have checked everything.

It's far enough from fences, hedges and so on.

But it doesn't fit in here.

I'm a filmmaker. TV is not my thing.

I won't claim that I'm extremely busy.

But I'm going to turn it down.

4 o'clock is fine.

See you, bye.

Anything wrong?

All they talk about is how much money I've got,

and how little they have.

-Kind of exhausting. -Just ask them to leave.

They've got nowhere to go,

and I have so much space.

They have a point.

-Want me to throw them out? -Do you think you could?

You have to go.

-It's enough. Go home. -Jørgen…

Is this really your house?

-Just make a scene out of this. -Jens Christian?

Aren't you in charge here?

Aren't you the master of your own house?

Jens Christian,

look at me.

-You have to go now. -Violence doesn't lead to anything.

Get out of here!

Scram!

It's none of my business, but why did you get involved with those people?

I was searching for something.

That's all right.

But you're smart,

and you should stay away from religion.

All religion is garbage. Don't you know that?

-You want one? -Yes, please.

Thank you.

Well…

And your film?

-Have you sold any tickets? -No.

Barely 2,000.

-That's not so bad. -No…

Yes it's bad.

It will close in a few days.

Don't miss the exit.

This is a must.

Maybe slightly further than 50 meters…

-Now we have to be there! -We're here.

Let me give you a hand.

There you go.

There's the cabin.

Let go of me!

It's a little jewel.

-Any thoughts about a price? -No.

No?

No.

But if you would suggest one?

The house doesn't have much technical value.

The property is worth quite a bit.

-I would say three hundred. -Three hundred?

Cabins are sold for up to a million here.

But they've got a road.

-Not necessarily an advantage. -And they do not face east.

That has never bothered me.

-Coffee? -No, thanks.

I need a cup.

So we lost the director…

…who was going to make the first episodes.

Then we had a long talk about candidates.

But…

Then I went to see Vår.

-Dammit, Jørgen. That was fabulous… -Thanks.

I liked the old version too.

I didn't see a whole lot of difference.

-But it was really good. -Thank you.

Down to business.

We lost this director, and we're looking for a new one.

I mentioned you.

And everyone in the room thought it was a good idea.

I don't know, Eskil. TV is a completely different format.

TV series is the new novel.

That's what they say.

We have used some stage directors.

They've been mediocre at best.

So we're hunting high and low among you film people now.

The title is: The Unknown Murderer.

There's a murder in the first episode, and no one has any idea who did it.

So the series is all about finding out who did it.

-What do you think? -Well…

The title is quite nice.

Some Danish dramatic advisers, big names, have had a look at it.

When they heard the title and the concept, they just said:

"Wow, man!"

-It's flattering to be asked. -Consider it for a few days.

You can't read anything yet.

Everyone agrees the scripts are not finished.

-Hi, Jørgen. -Hi!

We've had a hard time getting good screenplay writers from NRK.

But now we've gotten hold of some good people.

Maybe they're not the very best in the country.

But I think they're on the level…

…just below that. Good standard.

We've gone a few rounds…

…with the writers. I think there are 11 of them.

-Eskil. -So…

It's going to be great!

Everyone in position! Silence!

Who introduced you to Tor Jonsson?

I have always been really fascinated by Jonsson.

I remember from school that everyone thought he was a real drag.

But I guess I had a secret fascination with him.

-It's not weird to sing in dialect? -No.

Grandpa has relatives on the west coast,

so it's always felt familiar to me.

Have you found your voice?

I think maybe I have.

Because I have dared to be silent,

and listen to what's inside me.

We're looking forward to the record,

and to hearing more from you.

We say goodbye to Line Rotevatn and let her create new songs,

which will please us and challenge us in the future.

The next time…

-This was so embarrassing! -No!

It was great!

-Don't you agree? -Yes.

-You did so well. -But there was so much vague talk.

Such things are so hard to define. Better say too much than too little.

This is a little bit too much for me.

I think I need some air.

Of course!

How about going out on the town?

That sounds good!

-Will you join us, Andrej? -No.

Just one beer?

You could have mentioned us.

Mentioned who?

Us.

Are you disappointed because you were not mentioned?

This was not about you, but about me.

And about throwing myself into music.

That was the angle.

I didn't have to,

but I mentioned you. It was deleted.

I don't have the energy to argue about this.

If you want to stand there and mope, fine with me.

But are you guys coming?

-Yes, we're with you. -Great.

You don't care about him, do you?

I don't let such people bring me down.

Hi.

Just thinking about going out with these musicians.

Is that okay?

Are you sure?

Never mind me at all.

I love you too.

Daddy's coming, sweetie.

-Hi. -Hello.

-Is Dad at home? -Yes.

Could I have a word with him?

-Hi there. -Hi, Aksel.

Hi.

-Are you all right? -Sure. What's up?

No, it's… I've been asked to be a sort of go-between.

At the flea market today,

you were heard calling a young girl a whore.

Not very fortunate, Mustafa.

It's taken out of contest.

Exactly what I hoped to hear.

She was indecently dressed,

and invited my daughter to the shopping center.

I told her Atifa couldn't hang out with someone dressing like a whore.

Mostly out of concern for the girl.

I don't see it that way.

I'll tell her father that you're terribly sorry,

and won't do it again.

-I haven't done anything wrong. -You don't seem to grasp…

…the whole situation.

Her father is furious.

-And offended. -Why doesn't he come here?

-Is he a coward? -No.

He has contacted the board…

The board?! Are you kidding?

I'm just trying to defend you.

Go tell him to ask his daughter to stay far away…

…from my daughter.

If he lets his daughter dress like a whore,

she's might be treated like one.

No, this is way out of line.

Mustafa, listen!

Get yourself together,

or I'll have to do something about this.

-Are you threatening me? -Informing you.

-It sounded like a threat. -I don't really care.

Get a grip.

-Now you're threatening me. -Just shut up!

I'm warning you! Not another word.

I'm leaving now.

-Goodbye. -Bye…

Is this possible?

Bloody hell!

Bye!

Come… Come home with me.

I'm going to hit the sack now.

Please…

Maybe some other time, when you're not as drunk.

I… I see what you mean.

Just…

Just one kiss.

That's all I want.

Or I'll jump into the river!

No, I won't allow that. You're too nice.

You are the only one who can save me.

I'm serious.

Could I have your autograph?

If you change your mind…

Christer?

All evening long I thought your name was Christopher!

You may call me whatever you want.

Jørgen!

Line!

-Hi! -Hi!

Right…

I heard you'll be on Anitra's show.

I was on TV tonight.

Dammit!

-I didn't catch that. -Well, it's on the Internet.

How exciting that you…

That music has found you, or vice versa.

It's always been there.

But I just haven't been so good at listening to myself.

But you are pretty good at listening to yourself.

Yes…

I suppose I am.

You're just running your own race.

I…

Yes, I have…

Ended up that way.

I admire you.

You do?

You seem so self-confident.

I'm sorry.

It's all right.

Claus Borch Street.

-You're not coming in? -Yes, I am.

But no, I can't.

I want to, but I can't.

-Oh, come on. -Kiss me.

Kiss me good night.

Let's have a raincheck.

Take her to…

Vålveien Street.

-Do you need more money? -No, I got plenty.

You know where to find me.

Oh, Nykvist.

Nykvist!

Kiss me!

I haven't brushed my teeth.

I notice.

Get your pants off.

-Down with your pants! -I'm pretty tired.

Just a quick one.

No, I don't think so.

I'm kind of tired…

Aren't you attracted to me, Vidkun?

Yes, I am.

My God…!

Just not as abruptly as this.

I need a little time.

Listen…

I'm just worn out.

There are so many things going on these days.

-Don't be grumpy. -Right…

Just forget it.

-Don't be pissed of. -Forget it.

What are you up to?

I need to go running.

-In the middle of the night? -Yes, I need to go for a run.

Okay. Enjoy it.

Thanks.
