This Tuesday offers us typical spring weather.

Clouds in the morning, then increasingly sunny intervals.

And the temperatures will approach 15 to 20 degrees.

No strong wind during the day,

but unfortunately, that changes in the evening and it will be a stormy night.

Radio Viborg!

Dan the Rooster! Knows how to handle a chicken.

From Monday to Thursday we offer an all-you-can-eat special!

For only 9.99!

A deal worth it for the whole family!

Thank you for listening to Radio Viborg. Good morning.

Alright, let's go!

Kate, I'm serious!

Just shut up, Mom!

Come on, Paul Reichhardt. Come.

You have got to be kidding me...

I only have 15 euros today.

You'll get the rest tomorrow.

Solvej, damn it, look at me, please.

The little guy looks happy today.

What's his name?

Do you want to buy something?

My neck hurts quite a bit.

Driver's myalgia.

I wish I knew someone

who gives massages.

Get some ibuprofen at the gas station.

-Here you go. -Thanks.

May I?

Yes, thank you.

What are you doing this weekend? I don't have any plans yet.

-Hi. What's up? -Hi. Not much. And you?

I'm showing the others how to roll a joint.

There she is.

Yeah, so?

Go and ask her. Come on, before she drives away.

Hey, neighbor.

I want to buy something. What do you have?

I don't sell to kids.

Kate? Your fries.

Shut up, I can't hear anything.

What's this about? What do you have to do with her?

Nothing, Mom.

I would give my right arm

for a Wiener Schnitzel from Laila's Inn.

Capers, anchovies, and butter sauce...

I get hard just thinking about it.

The woman makes meatloaf from plant-based meat.

What the hell...?

I told you, Paul Reichhardt. Laila's Inn in Hannover.

It's the northern exit to Hannover,

in case you change your mind.

The woman also offers dessert, I've been waiting a week for it.

If you know what I mean?

Ten-four.

Unfortunately, Laila doesn't have that on the menu.

Please help me.

Where is the nearest phone booth?

I will bandage your foot.

I think it's not broken,

but we should still go to the emergency room.

Nonsense.

I just need something for the pain.

I can write you a prescription

for high-dose ibuprofen, but...

Ibuprofen? I'm not a child.

No, of course not.

Do you have an insurance card?

In my handbag. In the kitchen.

Okay.

Next to the microwave.

There's also some ketobemidone, one or two.

Do you take all of those?

I'd like to take a look at that. Give you a proper check-up.

This combination of medications is dangerous.

I think you should leave now.

You shouldn't keep people waiting.

Put these on when the swelling has gone down.

If it gets worse, go to the emergency room.

You didn't go to school?

And what did you do instead?

What do you mean, for God's sake? How long?

Since when have you been skipping school, Kate?

What?

I've never heard

of anyone getting kicked out of this class.

Thanks for the support! What would I do without you?

You'd be living on the street, just like I did at your age.

You lived one shitty day on the street.

Crazy stuff.

And now what?

Well...

Yeah, what?

Yeah, what? And your scholarship?

How are you going to pay the rent?

It's called work. Work, Kate.

Can you calm down?

I promise you, as soon as I have money,

I'll get the hell out of here.

I wish we had never moved into this shithole.

Who's there?

It's the nurse, Mrs. Hansen.

I don't need any help.

I'm a nurse. The doctor sent me.

I have crutches for you.

Here you go, Mrs. Hansen. Do you need anything else?

I could clean or give you a bath,

Mrs... Mrs. Hansen?

This can't be real. Is he slow or what?

Hi.

I saw the ambulance.

And you were in the garden. Are you okay?

What do you want?

I was wondering if you might need some help?

I could make you a sandwich?

No, thank you.

Let's go, Paul Reichhardt.

Come on, Paul Reichhardt, come.

Look here.

Paul Reichhardt. Yes, yes, very good.

Get it. Get it! Down, down.

Run down.

Could you catch my dog?

Yes, of course.

Come on, come on. Come on.

I thought I could manage it alone.

But my ankle was injured during the attack.

Should I help you with that?

Yes, please.

And while you're at it,

you can put a new one in the microwave.

They are in the freezer.

Okay.

The freezer? Yes?

For how long...?

Seven.

The thing with the attack is really crazy...

Did you talk to the police?

No.

But I probably should.

According to § 244 of the Penal Code, there would be a hefty fine.

Maybe even a prison sentence.

Were you at all these places?

Do you think I sit around here all the time?

I've never been farther than the border shop.

But my mother says it's not worth it,

since the bus fares have gone up so much.

All done.

Is there anything else I can do while I'm here?

I had an accident this morning. She's soaking in the sink.

Rinse her out and then hang her to dry.

Sure.

I hung her up.

So, I'm taking a break from school.

If you want, I can come back tomorrow.

How about 8 o'clock?

So...

Okay.

I NEED THE MONEY IMMEDIATELY!

WHERE ARE YOU? THE CARTRIDGES HAVE ARRIVED!

Oh, very good.

I need a coffee first.

That may be true, but Paul Reichhardt

has to leave every morning at exactly 8 o'clock.

I didn't even have a morning cigarette.

With this, you can get back in.

In case I'm busy.

Come on, Paul Reichhardt, let's go for a walk.

Shit.

He was hungry.

Where are all these postcards from?

Spain.

Who is Kaj?

Have you spoken to the police yet?

Whoever did it, I'm sure he feels terrible.

Coffee?

Fuck, yes. I thought you'd never ask.

Just came from Brussels and... arrived in Viborg with an empty stomach.

Viborg? If I were you,

I'd grab a Snickers on the way.

It'll probably end up being McDonald's again.

I should have eaten something earlier.

Yes. He should have.

Everyone knows, that in Brussels

you go for moules-frites, at Chez Leon.

Moules-frites?

Steamed mussels with French fries.

Their homemade mayonnaise is magnifique.

How come you have traveled so much?

The world is more than Viborg.

I never met my father.

My mother wasn't interested in

learning his name.

But he was from Hanover.

I would really like to see where my father came from.

There is a sweet little shop in Hanover.

Laila’s Inn.

The world's best Wiener Schnitzel.

Great.

You're late.

It's my 18th birthday.

My gifts are a kettle and a job interview.

My mother says I have to move out

if I don't go to it.

This guy, Oliver, is...

Everyone always wants something from me. Just leave me...

At least I'm old enough now to apply for welfare.

I'm telling you, if I get it...

Adios, fuckers. And then I'll look for my father.

Viborg isn't the whole world, right?

That probably won't be so easy.

They will first check

if you can go to school or work.

But that can take a few months. And at your age

they will probably send you back to school.

Unless, of course, you're sick.

Can you help me?

No. I don't get involved.

Can you lend me money?

No.

I'll pay it back.

I don't lend money to anyone.

Stop it!

Get out, now!

...with at least 13 and at most 15 degrees.

Radio Viborg.

You are listening to Radio Viborg.

We are Peter and Malene, today is May 8th.

Every local handball fan knows what that means.

It's a battle for the top tonight.

The Viborg Handball Club is playing for first place in the league.

It's crazy!

They haven't lost a single game this season.

A perfect spring for Viborg HK! We expect a full stadium.

The whole town will be there to cheer on the green girls.

Look in your closet,

pick the greenest outfit you have and let's go!

We will get ready for the game later.

The coach and some of the girls will visit us in the studio.

We get to interview them before the game.

Yes, and we will ask them

if they believe in victory as much as we do.

I think I'll go to the stadium tonight.

I'm looking forward to the green atmosphere there.

-I hope they win. -Yes!

All in all, we hope you have a great day.

We are glad you are listening to us, here at Radio Viborg.

We have a little quiz for you later,

but first, here are some current local news.

Don't forget our event, where you can

meet some nice people.

Don't just sit at home, meet some new people.

The idea is to visit each other.

In one evening

you visit six different addresses.

Some are single, others are couples. It's about meeting new people.

And at one place you might just get drinks...

Yes, yes, yes, exactly.

What do you want?

Can you come in for a moment? I have something for you.

Wait there.

Okay, now you can come in.

So...

I made a layer cake,

a roulade, muffins, some treats...

And sweets...

What would you like?

Do you have freezer bags?

No, I don't think so.

Your daughter... Didn't she disappear 15 years ago?

Ran away, you mean?

You know I don't want to talk about this.

Haven't you heard from her all these years?

No.

She ran away with a circus performer.

She had the choice...

That's Paul Reichhardt.

The old guy?

Handsome, isn't he?

He looked like him. My fiancé.

I mean Paul Reichhardt.

What? Where do you think this body came from?

It pains me to have to tell you this, Martin.

But your daughter and her husband were among the injured...

They play terribly.

No.

Those were different times.

When not everything was "terrible."

I received a message from the police chief.

He thought it appropriate that I deliver this message to you.

Should we turn it off?

No, no. I want to see it.

So this chapter is over.

No Martin, it is not.

DON'T THINK YOU KNOW WHAT'S COMING, IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY!

THE MONEY IS FOR YOU UNDER MY DOORMAT

STAY AWAY FROM ME

I have a gift for you...

Didn't you forget something?

What the hell?

What are you talking about?

The canisters.

None of your business.

I want to show you something.

Well, nothing to brag about.

But it would look good on the internet.

I think we have an agreement, right?

When is the next flight to Málaga?

Where is the nearest phone booth?

There's a girl who says,

she's looking for a date for her mother. Maybe something for you?

No, I think you should find someone else.

Preben, you've been avoiding this topic for 20 years.

You say she's your mother?

Yes, she's my mother.

How old is she?

61.

That sounds perfect, Preben. 61 and still going strong. Come on.

He says yes.

I'll be there. Tell your mother I'll be there.

Then the date is set. Roger. Over.

This is not a toy.

I'm going to the town hall to make an appointment.

I was out with Paul, did some shopping and cleaning.

And something else, but that's a surprise.

So, see you later...

No, wait.

I have something for you here.

We'll see each other at 4 PM?

We can finish the cakes from yesterday, do you...

She will come.

And if not, that's fine too.

You and me. Just like always. Yes, good boy.

Come on, Paul Reichhardt, come.

Oh. Am I too early?

We haven't been properly introduced.

Preben Elkjær.

Yes, like that football player.

Actually, he's also called Larsen.

So actually, I'm the only real Preben Elkjær...

... in, in the country.

Your daughter thought it would be a surprise,

but it seems that was a bad idea.

My daughter?

Yes, we talked over the radio.

I booked a table at Dan-der-Hahn.

"Knows how to handle a chicken."

I'm not going anywhere.

No, of course not.

I'll only come back if you pay me.

With "dirty money."

And I want a share of the sale.

Fifty-fifty.

Seventy-thirty.

Fifty-fifty.

Are you going to stand there all day now?

That was funny.

I'd like to talk to you.

What's up?

Okay.

Come on. Let's go. Like this.

What the hell is going on here? What is this?

She got hurt and I work for her...

Stay out of trouble, okay?

Did you understand me?

-Yes. Whatever. -Good.

My goodness...

Mom, can I have a chocolate milk?

What are you thinking about?

Nothing.

Did you like it?

What?

The surprise.

It wasn't worth mentioning...

Fuck. I'm not here.

-Kate? Give me your phone. -What?

-Give me your phone. Give it to me. -No.

Fine.

What the hell?

I have to take care of something.

...back from Brussels...

Brussels again? Don't get stuck there.

Don't forget the moules-frites at Chez Léon.

Yes, "their homemade mayonnaise is magnifique."

Thanks, I think we know that by now.

What are you going to do with it?

We are going to sell them.

No, I don't sell weapons.

What kind of weapons?

Aren't there canisters in there?

Yes. Gasoline canisters.

It's laughing gas.

All the kids are using it. You can make a lot of money with it.

It's really fun.

It's pretty... cool.

Solvej, not so much.

Shit! Are you okay? Solvej?

Are you okay?

Not so loud.

When did you last see Kaj?

A long time ago.

An eternity.

We had so many plans.

Why didn't you get married?

"Make a lot of money..."

You must already be making a lot of money!

I'm saving for a timeshare in Málaga.

Didn't I tell you that?

For 5,000 kroner I'll trade this joyless life...

...for sangria by the pool.

You shouldn't waste away here.

That would be really sad.

Today is off to a good start with plenty of sunshine.

But I hope,

you still have an umbrella with you,

...as there's a high chance of showers later.

Temperatures will range between 13 and 15 degrees.

Radio Viborg!

Dan the Rooster! Knows how to handle a chicken.

From Monday to Thursday, we have an all-you-can-eat special!

...for only 9.99! A great deal!

Message to Preben.

Message to Preben Elkjær.

You look wonderful.

I've been told that, and it's true.

Don't even try that.

Why not?

And what do you do when you're not driving trucks?

Get bored.

I'd rather spend time with a beautiful woman.

What do you do,

when you're not causing trouble on the roads?

Actually, the thing is...

...I'm working undercover as a police informant.

So you know everything about me?

Does that mean I'll be

taken away in handcuffs before the night is over?

We'll see.

Well, then...

I'm really sorry, I thought we...

It's just that I can't understand

how you could be interested in me at all.

What do you mean? I like you.

You're funny, you're... you're tough, and...

I find that interesting. I find you interesting.

And what's special is, there's so much of you.

And I like that.

I like plump women.

-Is it because I'm fat? -What?

You find me interesting because I'm fat?

No, that's not what I meant.

You know what? Go to hell with your perverted preferences.

MISS VIBORG WAS CROWNED

HERE WE CELEBRATED OUR BIRTHDAY ON JUNE 22, 1974

NEW YEAR'S EVE 1974

Good morning!

Why are you in such a good mood?

I have an appointment at the city office.

For financial assistance.

I can bring my mother along.

I'm nobody's mother.

Well, for today you are. Do you feel honored?

That's what you do for your friends.

Come on.

They will try everything to send you back to school.

For that, they'll give you 350 euros.

Shit, that's so little.

But if you can't go to school...

...because, for example, you are proven to be struggling

with an addiction or something, then they'll give you 500 euros.

I've been smoking a lot of joints lately.

-And the laughing gas. Don't forget that. -Oh, right, right.

We need to change your address,

it's better if you don't live at home

and have it written somewhere.

If you choose my apartment, they'll give you 950 euros.

Minus a small compensation to me, of course.

Yes, of course.

Cool! Then I don't need to work.

And then the joints became more frequent...

...because I was so depressed.

And also cocaine.

I think it's because I don't know my father.

Kate, it takes a bit more to be declared unfit for work.

Normally, our goal is

for people to go through a training program.

By the way, I will also be moving out soon.

My mother and I, it doesn't work.

In my own apartment

I can focus better on myself.

I think that's good for me.

She really needs a lot of support.

And she doesn't want me to end up like her.

Alright.

What kind of training do you want to do?

Well, I think Kate should...

I think Kate should get out of Viborg.

To see the world and stand on her own feet.

That of course requires training.

She should complete a preparatory course.

She is smarter than one would think.

I think that sounds reasonable.

She has also proven that she is capable

of taking responsibility.

Financial support should not be an excuse for passivity.

Your mother is right about what she says, Kate.

Kate, wait a moment! Wait for me!

What the hell was that? I'll never get out of here like this!

Aren't you worth more?

You could do so much more with your life

and you choose unemployment benefits.

You should thank me!

-Thank you? -Yes!

For what? For not ending up like a coward

in my own apartment...

...that I'm too scared to leave?

Isn't it enough that you've ruined your own life?

Do you think I don't know that?

That you've never been to Spain or Brussels...

You probably have never even left the country!

You're a damn liar who leeches off others.

And you're so damn afraid of life,

that all you do is eat and eat until you're too fat to live!

I can understand why your fiancé left you.

Kate? Is she here?

No, no, she isn't.

I need to see her, it's really important.

I thought she was with you.

We had a fight,

and I told her to find a place to stay.

I didn't know she would take it so literally.

Come on, Paul Reichhardt, let's go. Come on.

If you see her,

can you tell her to call me?

Come on.

Hey, you there. Have you seen Kate?

Yes, this morning at the gas station.

She left with the guy from Copenhagen.

There she is. Go over to her.

-I don't want to talk to her. -But you have to.

I need your help.

My daughter ran away from home.

She took my savings with her.

I'm afraid something might have happened to her.

Apparently, she was taken by the guy from Copenhagen.

I really need your help.

You'll get 10% of my savings,

if we find her.

I don't want your money. How about an apology?

I'm sorry.

And one more piece of advice:

You should be a bit more tolerant of others.

We'll both leave.

We can handle this together.

Alright then.

Come on, Paul Reichhardt. Let's go.

Is this your first time in a truck?

No.

10-45, I heard you're asking about the guy from Copenhagen?

10-12, I'm listening.

He usually sleeps at exit 199.

Thanks.

I have a license plate number for you.

Charlie-Siegfried-5-0-0-1-3.

I repeat Charlie-Siegfried-5-0-0-1-3.

Ten-four.

This is the one.

Charlie-Sierra-5-0-0-1-3. Bingo.

They're asleep.

-So what? -We need a plan.

Would you please shut up?

-Where is Kate? -What the hell are you doing?

We're looking for a teenager named Kate,

we heard you took her with you.

I already dropped her off.

Go to hell! Kate?

-What are you doing? -Let her in.

Alright, come in.

Go ahead and look. She's not here.

It won't take long.

-Where's my money? -What?

The girl took all her money with her.

Where's my money?

I don't have your damn money.

Move your fat ass out of my truck!

Watch what you say. Or there'll be trouble.

Okay.

You guys are completely nuts.

Let's have a drink at the minibar

and get some sleep first

we'll decide tomorrow how to proceed. Come on.

You're probably worried about your daughter.

To be precise, she's not really my...

No?

She's quite cheeky.

I wonder who taught her that.

Well, I know nothing about that.

Here we are.

Is this my room?

They only had one room available, so...

I can sleep on the couch.

Or I can sleep in the truck?

It's really no problem.

No, you can take the sofa.

Do you want a nightcap?

Yes, I'd like one, thanks.

Does he usually sleep in the bed?

No, Paul Reichhardt, you can't sleep in the bed.

Get down. Get down.

Off the bed, come on. Yes. Good boy.

Do you want me to turn away?

No, you don't have to.

Is your ankle feeling better?

Yes, it feels like it.

You haven't drunk anything.

I've already brushed my teeth, so...

It wasn't that good anyway.

Good night. Sleep well.

Sleep well.

It's nice of you to help me.

You are a good man.

I really enjoy doing this, truly.

Hey! Should I give you a ride?

That thing looks good on you.

So, what now? Maybe we could call her mother.

Maybe she has heard something.

Her father...

A Danish teenager named Kate.

She's wearing a hoodie and a backpack.

I haven't seen the girl,

but if you're still looking for the driver...

...I just saw him on the highway to Hannover.

The guy from Copenhagen is on his way to Hannover.

He's shady.

You shouldn't have mentioned the money.

Thanks.

He took the exit towards Hannover North.

There's a motel there, I know where it is.

Thanks, I'm only an hour away.

Can't you drive faster?

Everything okay?

Yes. Does she know anything, has she heard anything?

Well, she has dark, long hair. First name Kate.

And her last name?

Pedersen.

Name Pedersen.

Uh... maybe a, a hoodie, a sweatshirt...

Last name Pedersen. She's wearing a hoodie...

She checked in a few hours ago,

but took a taxi shortly after.

Where to?

A restaurant, I think.

What does she say?

She took a taxi to a restaurant a few hours ago.

-Of course, Laila's Inn. -Laila's Inn.

Yes, it's just a few kilometers from here.

Where is it?

The truck driver. He has it.

I don't know either...

I'm so stupid, I thought

I would find my father if I came here, but...

I don't even know what he looks like.

I feel so lost.

Yeah, I could have told you that before.

You didn't have to steal my money for that.

Come on, let's go. You're on your own.

Wait, wait a second.

Why don't we grab a bite to eat?

It helps to relax.

I haven't introduced myself yet.

We talked over the radio.

I'm Preben Elkjær. Like that...

Like that football player. We got it.

Which football player?

Are you coming? The world's best Wiener Schnitzel.

Three vodka shots. Here you go.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Does your mother know where you are?

Then I think it's time you call her.

Were you never young?

Yeah, yeah, I'm with Solvej...

Now let's welcome Preben Elkjær, who will start the karaoke night.

Solvej?

What do you say?

I am really sorry.

This money has controlled my life for far too long.

Without you, I couldn't have experienced this.

Do you want to go to Spain?

Yes.

Good. Now we just need to convince one more person:

Elvis Presley.

The sun is bright, it is "muy caliente".

From morning till night, the best awaits.

I would like a drink, because it is "muy caliente".

The warmth of the South has changed me...

Are you coming, Solvej?

Yes.

And tomorrow Málaga?

Yes. And tomorrow Málaga.

Yes.

So...

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

I happened to be nearby...

And I saw that the light was still on...

What nonsense...

I have such back pain,

so I thought I'd drop by.

The best is yet to come...

I just wanted...

Yeah, me too.

And?

She isn't answering.

She's probably sleeping.

I don't think so. Paul is barking.

Solvej!

Solvej!

Step away from the door.

Solvej?

Solvej?

Damn it...

The reception should call an ambulance.

TRUCK DRIVER FROM VIBORG IN HIGHWAY ACCIDENT

KILLED ON THE SPANISH SUN COAST

Kate? We're here.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Give her a proper farewell.

See you.

Come on, Paul Reichhardt.

Come.

See?
