Original subtitles

What did he do to you? - Absolutely nothing!

Why didn't you get me a good lawyer?!

You keep letting others control you!

People need to know what my family has been through.

What game are you playing with the press?

People have the right to know the truth.

You're looking to exploit politics like you did with your family?

I don't want my pictures to be photoshopped! - You're gonna have to give in on this point.

My name's Breki and I'm an alcoholic. - Hi, Breki.

What now? - I don't know.

We broke many a rule. - It'll be our little secret.

Leave me and my family alone!

You've always been welcome in our house then you suddenly disappeared!

Linda took it very badly. - Don't drag Linda into this, you're the monsters!

Hi, love! It's me, Linda!

It's alright, grandpa's not in pain.

Hold his hand, so he'll know we're here.

Hi, little one.

Grandma's not here, she's out of town. - Ok.

Still training? - Yes.

How's it going? - Fine.

Can you believe it? I won the prize! - Congrats.

Something wrong? - My shoulder hurts, mom says it's inflammation.

You gotta have that checked. Hot water is good for the shoulders.

Go take a shower. I need one too but I can do it later.

You go, I'll fix something to eat in the meantime.

Ok.

So... is it working?

It's been a long time since we took a bath together.

When you were little, grandma and I gave you baths all the time.

You've grown... you're a young woman.

Calm down... you misunderstood...

What are you doing here?!

What have you done?! You fucking pig!

Go away or I'll call the police! - You'll never change!

Wait!

You're nothing but a lunatic!

Þorvaldur? - How you're feeling, dad?

Don't strain yourself, we'll have time to talk later.

I'm happy you're back, dad.

He suffered a shock, of course.

He needs therapy. Go speak to Erlendur, our consultant.

We'll arrange something privately.

I think I can speak for my husband, he'd say it's not necessary.

I have great news, dear! Dad woke up, he's gonna be alright!

Aren't you happy? - Yes.

We'll fix everything.

Don't worry, everything's gonna be alright.

I didn't realize how disgusting it was.

I got through it by simply erasing it from my head.

What hurts the most is...

...I really loved him, he was my dad.

Have you tried to do something about it? Tell someone?

Expose him. - Not until now.

But it's too late.

It's complicated.

Are you sure... Linda...

You need to be sure.

I gotta tell mom first. - Absolutely not.

You mustn't tell anything to anyone or we'll lose every chance.

Are you sure? - Of course!

They need someone for the rooms, it's perfect for me!

If they catch you using, you're out.

Come on... have a little faith in this girl!

That was the old Brynja... this is the new one!

Don't screw up in your last days, it would be a drag seeing you back here.

We haven't searched the rooms in a while, it could happen at any moment.

I need an exception to the visits rule.

When did you plan on telling me?

You go around telling about our family without consulting me first?

Sorry but... when did you start smoking?! - None of your business.

You sound like your father sometimes.

Hello? - Hello, is this Herdís?

Goddammit...

Ok!

BALL GOWN FOR SALE. - How about 30.000?

I have an offer of 40.000 still pending.

How about 36.500? I'm paying cash.

Everybody out now! - Shit!

Inspection. - Now? - Yes, now.

My exam... - No exceptions.

Hey! Care for some striptease? It's free but you can't touch!

Cut the bullshit. - Come on, Brynja.

Wait!

It's just a sketch book.

Here. - Thanks, buddy!

Come on. - Don't push me, I can walk by myself!

How long is this gonna take? - It depends.

It's visiting day, will you be done by 4? - Let's hope so.

Ok, get in.

How did your little girl take it?

She's incredibly strong, she always amazes me.

She was obviously shocked but she managed to focus on other things... school, handball...

Look after her, she's the future.

We expect any kind of low blows, her lawyer is Ásbjörn Svein and he's capable of anything.

We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

You want some water? You gotta drink.

I heard about your interview on Stundin magazine.

Yes.

"The human being comes before efficiency and money."

The Party leaders are probably thinking that the opposition has found an unexpected ally.

You think I'm doing wrong?

I'll tell you something I never told anyone.

When you were born, I was really hoping you were gonna be a boy.

When they called me from the hospital I was a bit disappointed, I admit it.

But then I got to know you and...

...I understood I had nothing to worry about.

I was proud... infinitely proud of my daughter.

That's how I always felt.

Men's knees shake when you enter the battlefield.

My daughter will write history.

Excuse me, the police is here. They wanna speak with Þorvaldur.

It's not possible, he needs to... - That's alright.

Let's get this over with.

The last thing I remember is the golf club closing in to my face.

Then it's all dark. - Any idea why she attacked you?

It was particularly violent.

I'll tell you something about Linda.

For ten years we've been doing everything in our power to save that girl.

We've always been helping her, but...

...with very poor results.

The only thing she cared about was drugs.

Drugs ruled her life. - I see.

There's no worse nightmare for a parent...

...than losing a child that way.

Will you write something on my scrapbook?

Write something nice for me.

"I think of you", "I'll never forget you"...

You can also draw a picture, you know... but don't rip the pages off.

Iris? - I'll send you a text.

I'll write something. - Will you?

I want memories of all of you, I'm gonna miss you.

Hello? Are you there? - I'll see you again soon anyway.

What you mean? No way!

I've wasted enough of my time with you... "bitches".

A new life is starting for Brynja.

I sincerely hope so, Brynja.

Aren't they finished yet?! - Last time it took 4 hours.

What about the AA meeting? - AA? Screw that!

What's the problem? Let's do it right now!

Hi, my name's Brynja and I'm an alcoholic.

I hope for your sake they won't find anything. My kids are coming today.

They won't find shit. - "Shit"?

What the fuck are you laughing at?

Iris!

Hey!

What did you take, you idiot?! - All she had?!

She's dying! - What's going on?

Get away! Move!

What happened to her? Hey! You hear me?

You stay here.

There's something here.

I have no idea. - I don't think it's yours.

Any idea who might have put it in your locker?

I'm gonna have to punish you, it's the rule. No visits next week.

Ok, it's mine. - It doesn't work like that. No visits.

This way we're gonna sink to her level.

It's up to the judge to decide, but in today's society people are very sensitive about these matters.

What do you want? - Inform the family before the word gets out.

My sister has mental problems, this will undermine your position.

Linda is perfectly fine and you know it.

Are you looking to make a deal? - Things are more complicated than they seem.

Some things are more important than the individual.

I don't make deals... and certainly not with the devil.

Thanks for the chat. If you need anything, you know where to find me.

Who had the stuff? What did you find out?

My daughter was supposed to come visit today! - Shut up or I'll take you back inside!

Did you have something in your room? - Fuck no!

We have nothing! - There are no visits because of this! If I find out...

I ain't getting any visits at all, everyone I know lives in another fucking country!

Then go back there, you junkie!

Fuck you!

Hi! - What have you done?

Did you steal my key? - Sorry...

Give it back!

What were you thinking? - I didn't think it was a problem for you.

I can't be caught, I'm getting out!

I need a favor. - Ok.

Will you write something on my scrapbook? - Get lost.

Ok... maybe later.

I already told you twice. - You're wasting my time, the girl needs to see her mother!

Come back next week. - You think I ain't got anything better to do?

Let's just go. - Only 15 minutes, come on!

I'm sorry, no visits today. Come back some other time.

But... she called me herself. - There's nothing I can do.

You have someone inside?

I do too. One does everything for the children and then... - Excuse me.

Hi, sorry... there's nothing I can do, they have forbidden all visits.

What about the dress? - Come here.

I found the dress, I just have to buy it.

Hey! Get away from there!

I'm talking to my daughter! - You know the rules!

It's so good to see you again.

I need to talk to you. - I thought about you all the time.

Hello. - Hello.

Welcome, Ragnheiður.

Good morning. - Hi.

I'd like to join even if I'm not an alcoholic, is that ok?

I spent more years in here than outside.

I stabbed a few people.

They were all separate episodes, each one out of passion.

They all forgave me... all except Valgeir, but he's an idiot anyway.

His mother was retarded and he was born premature.

Our wisdom is what God gave us.

I don't mind being in here and I know why.

I can get very dangerous at times, the facts say so.

But I never did anything wrong while sober, it's just not who I am.

Alcohol affects people in different ways. Some can live with it, some can't.

Unfortunately, I couldn't.

I've been sober for a long time now but in the past, I couldn't let go of the bottle.

Booze had a hold on me.

One time he's holding a knife to my throat and...

...I'm so fucking out of it, I didn't even realize he was raping me.

He'd beat me in front of him, repeatedly.

That time he made him watch.

He said to him:

"See what kind of a whore you mom really is!"

I didn't want my boy to grow up like that.

This was supposed to be my last chance. This one last thing, we were gonna...

I can't reach him, they don't let me talk to him!

I don't know what the fuck I'm gonna do!

No visits. That goes for anyone, as I told your mother.

I understand but because of my work this is the only time I can come.

What are you afraid of? That I could smuggle in weapons or drugs?

Behind the glass. 15 minutes.

What you did...

...it's unacceptable. - I know.

I went through hell in here.

But I also had time to think.

Everything I've been trying to forget... - We know you went through some hard times.

...I couldn't keep it hidden anymore. - What is it you can't hide?

He used to block me, Vala.

He made me... touch him...

What the hell are you talking about? - I was afraid mom would get mad, that's why I didn't say...

This bullshit is all inside your head!

I would have known, we were living under the same roof!

Perhaps you knew but you pretended you didn't.

You're just sick, you'll regret this!

Dad is fighting for his life and you only think of yourself!

All you ever think about is how to get away with something.

He didn't do anything to you!

Why, Vala? - Why what?

Why me and not you?

You gotta stop with these lies. - Is it a threat?

No, I'm just trying to bring you back to your senses, if you wanna be part of the family again!

It's too late.

No, no, no...

THE HIGHEST BID IS 52.000. PLACE YOU BID BEFORE MIDNIGHT.

I know your little secret.

Give me 30.000 before midnight and I'll keep my mouth shut.

He'll get kicked out and you won't see him again.

Why would I trust you? - 'Cause you have no other choice.

What's the money for? I could help you. - None of your damn business!

Is it for your kids?

If you need money, just ask. I'll be happy to lend you some.

I answered most of them, they were all very nice.

Even Dóra sent a telegram, that was very nice of her.

Very nice indeed.

By the way...

I met Ylfa, Linda's old friend.

She has kids, she was on her way to the pediatrician.

You remember her? Always so nice and cheerful.

You must remember her, she often came over. - I was working a lot back then.

Sure you remember about Ylfa? - What does it matter?

Shall I call someone? - No, it's probably just a bit of gastritis.

Don't you have to go back? - If I go, you'll be left alone.

I need to sleep anyway, it's been a long day.

You're such a dear, you always think of everything.

Hey! What a surprise! - Hi, Herdís

Perfect timing, so he won't be alone.

I can go now. - See you tomorrow, Dísa.

You look good, I'm still recovering from that beating you gave me on the golf course.

Get some rest, you'll have your rematch.

It's good you're recovering. We had a nice ceremony, nice words about you.

Thanks, my friend. - You also were all over the press.

Yes, I bet Valgerður's interview did draw a lot of attention.

Yes, well weighted arguments.

Although not all of them were about the family, some were about politics.

Isn't life politics?

You should talk to her, in general.

There's a moment for everything and right now it's a very delicate moment for our government.

It's crucial that we show unity... - Valgerður has grown a lot lately.

I'm sure you noticed that, you practically live in the same office.

Yes, yes... working together has never been a problem...

The Party might start wondering if her work can be put to a better use.

She's a real asset, a woman in her position...

And I totally agree with her, it's time we give politics a more human guise.

Valgerður has always told things as they are.

Many should learn from her.

Bring her to some meeting, I'd love to get to know her better.

We can't afford such a big project.

The MRI machine did cost us 300.000 crowns. - We gotta find a way to raise more money.

We'll see what we can do for Women's Day.

We have the Nativity bazaar and the lights but very little money.

Herdís? - I know a place that needs help, it won't cost too much.

Look what she's got!

Where did you get it? - I found it.

Did you steal it? - Is it real?

How much? - I don't know.

Enough.

Let's try it then.

Is it good?

Rebekka! - Ok, Albert!

No! Stop it!

What happened? Why is she crying?

I didn't do anything... I...

She won't get out of the bathroom. - And the boy?

In the bedroom, they're keeping an eye on him.

Rebekka, open the door.

Let me in, love.

What happened?

What did you drink?

Did he do something to you.

Are you sure? It's a very serious accusation.

What's your name? - Albert.

What's your parents' name?

I didn't do anything, we were lying on the bed and she went crazy!

I have to decide who to call first, your parents or the police.

What is it?

Well... nothing happened... I...

He didn't do anything.

Here's what we're gonna do.

No one will mention what happened tonight and I won't tell your parents you've been drinking.

There's been a misunderstanding and no good would come from spreading the word.

Ok?

Good.

Hi.

Is she ok? - She will be.

Where did she get the bottle?

It's better if she stays with you for a while.

Ok, bye. - Bye.

What are you offering? - I'll appeal to the Ethical Council if necessary.

Time's not an issue. You gotta make an interesting offer.

If you make her change her mind, I won't make you lose your license.

It must be a quick thing and no reconfirmation exam.

Of course.

Hello, dear.

I called school and told 'em you're not well.

We'd like to have a little chat with you.

About last night.

Drinking is a choice.

We all did it when we were young, it was almost a requisite for being accepted.

Think of your aunt... it's actually not just alcohol for her...

...but not all of us can manage it.

Is there something bothering you?

Someone at school did something...

Friðrík... it's obviously because of what happened to her grandfather.

You'd like to tell us something?

He admitted there was an argument. - That's all?

I thought about it and we better focus on the self-defense rather than on the abuse accusation.

Why? - Think of what you can get, the money you're owed.

The money your sister did get. He came, he hit you and you defended yourself.

You raged out. - I don't get it.

It's too late to back off, there's a life at stake!

A life? - Yes, my life.

It all happened long time ago. - But it did happen!

I know... but your family requested for a new psych evaluation.

It could take long. - My family... you mean Valgerður.

No, the whole family.

You gotta trust me, with any luck you'll be out in 18 months.

"En... joy... life... very... much..."

"But... not... just... in... bed."

That's smart!

Lóa is just too sentimental! Look!

I can't wait to get out and hold my angel again.

He must have grown so much.

When did you last see him?

We have visitors. - Is the punishment over?

No, it's an exception.

She's Linda, my daughter.

We're from the Odd Fellows sorority and we brought you some presents.

New tableware, kitchen tools, quality sheets, pillows and quilts...

...and lights and framed pictures to make the place more pleasant.

Help yourself.

Also, we'd like you think of what you might need and we'll get it for you. Anything.

Amazing... and right with the Party leader who's looking to be re-elected.

Competence never hurt anyone.

The Party leader and myself see differently on many points.

Isn't a bit late to announce your nomination? Right before the national assembly.

Why now?

Many have contacted me lately, I have the support not only of the Parties but also of the society.

I believe I can be a good team leader.

As in the handball team selection? - It's not quite the same.

Of course not, we're talking about the majority Party.

As everyone probably knows by now, me and my family went through some hard times.

Because of that, I now see problems from a different angle.

It's important to face them with honesty and sincerity and the same goes for our society.

We can't ignore the inequities around us and we need to do everything to eradicate them.
