All language subtitles for DAG - S04E01

You think I want to be here?
I never imagined myself -

- sharing my private life
with a total stranger.

But you won't talk to me.

I wish we could talk about something
other than kids or wallpaper choices.

It's hard when I can't sleep
and feel sick all the time.

It's hard to pretend
that I'm not pregnant.

It's not like I'm pretending
we're not pregnant.

We're not pregnant?
"We"?

Do you puke every morning, Pål?

What do you expect?

Empathy?

This is the world's most
self-inflicted problem.

- How far along are you?
- Two months.

Then you have seven months let, Pål.

Today's my birthday.
46.

- Congratulations.
- For what?

This is life's dessert.

Know what I used to appreciate?

No.

Combing my hair.

Right.

We need to view reality
in somewhat the same way.

That's never going to happen.

- Why not?
- Because you don't get it, Pål!

There's no reason why he should.

As Nora Ephron said:
"If pregnancy were a book, -

- they'd cut the first
and last two chapters."

Not many people talk about this, -

- but pregnancy isn't attractive
to the afflicted.

Your ass, hips, arms, thighs,
even your ankles -

- swell massively.

And your bladder shrinks. So you
feel like an incontinent mammoth, -

- yet require more love
and affirmation than ever.

And Pål,
who can hardly recognize you, -

- has to supply you with this love.

The reason he longs back
to the past, -

- is because he's terrified
of fatherhood.

He misses that less-serious life.
He has no tools to handle this.

If men got pregnant, it would
be classified as a venereal disease.

Aborting would be like flossing.

So you're saying
our problem can't be solved?

No. I'm saying
if you consider this a problem, -

- have an abortion.

Or accept that it will escalate
for seven more months.

And after that, your relationship -

- will be put on hold
for at least two years.

You don't like kids?

No, not kids in general.

Some people
who happen to be kids, sure.

But not enough to help someone
through nausea, dizziness, -

- sobbing and hemorrhoids.

Only to see them
bleed and scream at the end.

I don't think this is helping.

I need some air.

He's heard the worst-case scenario.

Now it's easier for you to show
that it won't be quite that bad.

Do you think
I find life easier than you do?

We met when I was 17.
I'm over 30 now.

We decided to split up
a couple of months ago

And then I got pregnant.

- Aren't you leaving?
- Nope.

I've never had a problem
I couldn't fix myself.

It took a lot to come here,
and bring him.

We came so you could fix this.

Fix our lives.

My life.

I still didn't realize I had actually
escaped from it all.

- Ernst?
- Is it two o'clock already?

Did you get what you came for?

And you had a reason
for whatever that was?

Just taking care of my family.

Come.

Some people have to learn to behave.

Thank you.
I owe you one.

Maybe. That funeral you're
going to, mind telling me who died?

My humanity, I guess.

OSLO PRISON

Hi.

- I'm going to miss you.
- Likewise.

- Bye.
- Keep it up.

Hi ...

- Thanks for ... taking care of me.
- My pleasure.

Hey, you.

Nothing to be ashamed of.
Nothing.

How are things
in the realm of mental violence?

- Totally fine.
- Is she still in there?

She refuses to leave.
That's a first.

And I have to get Benedikt.

Don't let me take on new clients.
You never know how they might react.

Too bad people have so many
emotions tied to their emotions.

I'm glad that's not me.

What is that?

A shrub.

A shrub?

Stop redecorating.
Things are fine here.

Sure, but they can always get nicer.

Anyway, it's my money.
If you hate it, I'll get rid of it.

Are you trying
to ignore the problem, -

- or have you forgotten
she's still in there?

Christ!

There.

You're right.
I've never been pregnant.

Find a girlfriend to talk to.

I don't have any here.

You have to leave!

- Dag, Eva is here.
- I'll report you for abuse of power.

We don't want that, Dag.
Remember last time?

Hush, Malin!

I'm just saying,
if we want to keep our jobs ...

Maybe I can help you
find someone to talk to.

Some sort of ...

Life coach.

Life coach, Dag?

Here's your definition
of a life coach:

A Louis Vuitton bag.
An expensive, ugly, -

- and meaningless attempt
to fill a void!

Just -

- talk to her.
That's all I ask.

I may have -

- overdone it a little.

But, I mean ... "We're pregnant"?
That's just hideous.

Are you saying it was your mistake?

I'm saying
that might have been part of it.

Just talk to her. Until she feels
a little more ... comfortable.

You mean until her life coach has
convinced her not to file charges.

Is this when we start singing
some film theme?

- Be nice.
- He slept with a 15-year-old!

He wouldn't have,
if he had known she was 15.

85? Sure.
15? Never.

And I promised Ernst
I'd take care of him.

And there's Juanita's funeral.
He took her death hard.

- Hey there.
- Hi.

My partners in crime.

- Welcome out.
- Thanks.

Good to see you.

Anything new in town?

Since your last furlough?

You have any idea
how long 13 months feels?

I had three books: The Koran, The
Bible and A History of Marching Bands.

- I got hooked on sleeping pills.
- Sou you've pretty much slept?

Pretty much.

Holy shit!

I can hear me inside you!

A little harder.
That's it.

Sing louder, Benedikt!

Sing louder!

Try to stay awake
at the employment office.

It took me a million phone calls
to get you this.

You have to mentor a kid
with some issues.

All you have to do is show up
and be the good guy you are.

Of course.
I've always been the caring type.

This is a boy, so you won't
have to "care" too much.

We're rooting for you, Benedikt.

Thanks.

- OK. Bye.
- See you later.

- It was great to see you again.
- Likewise.

I love you guys.

- Bye.
- Good luck.

Bye!

He seemed more sensitive than usual.

I'm sure it will pass.

So where does that woman live?

Who?

Who? You just passed me off
as a mental Burberry scarf.

You might actually enjoy it.

You hardly have
any other girlfriends to talk to.

- I can pick up at kindergarten.
- Yes ...

So we have done as you requested.

Made me a mentor?
I like helping people.

Regarding giving her access
to your apartment.

Huh?

So she can have
a safe place to stay, -

- away from her sister,
during her pregnancy.

I don't follow.
What do you mean?

- The power of attorney you sent us.
- Me? Let me see.

This isn't mine. I was expecting
a 12-year-old with Asperger's.

Isn't that your signature?

Yes, but no. It looks like mine,
but it isn't. No way.

- She specifically asked for you.
- She? Who do you mean?

Christ!
No way!

Not a chance.

She said you had helped
care for her handicapped sister?

I thought you were a philanthropist.

Sure.

Obviously there's been a mistake.

I'll have to reopen the case,
get back in touch with the police ...

That won't be necessary.

Everything's as bad as it was before.

It's always as bad as it was before.

The light at the end of the tunnel
is an oncoming train.

Have you been in a fight?

More like one-way communication.

What?
Is something bothering you?

No.
I don't know.

You're a grown man
with an introverted analysis complex.

I know what's bothering me,
I just don't know why.

Eva thinks we should get married.

She needs the affirmation of
a proposal. I can't give her that.

Unless I really mean it.

So you're not doing it?

I'm spending more time
with Eva and Leon, and less alone.

Or else I'm with Benedikt.

I enjoy that,
but it gives me less time for myself.

I read less.
I play less music.

And have become less and less me.

What?

Been there, done that,
don't do that no more.

And?

No parents of young children
have friends.

At least not that they meet
on a regular basis.

At best once every third week.

And you say you don't read enough?

So what should I do?

Hell if I know.

There's simply no easy answer.

If you could get the best of both
world's, you would fight for it.

So you're saying I can't win?

Isn't sitting alone at night
with a glass of wine enough?

The rest of the family is asleep,
and you feel you don't belong there.

Never open a clinic
for the suicidal, Ernst.

This is Ernst.
For the clinic, call the reception.

Otherwise, leave a message.

Hi, I wanted to let you know I'm out.
I'd like to come visit.

I've been trying to call Mia.
Can't reach her.

I love you, Ernst.

- Hi.
- Hi, Mia. It's me.

- Is it daddy?
- Benedikt is out of prison.

Thank you, Ernst.

Call if you need anything.
You know where I am.

What is it?

I was fearing a salon-tan,
tooth-whitened, Botox type.

No, that's ...

That's not me.
I'm not the glam type.

Let me first apologize
on behalf of Dag.

And let you know
that I am in no way what you need.

I have no answers at all.

But I have made many mistakes.

I can answer
all your questions honestly.

And I have to leave in 45 minutes.

- Hi. Anne.
- Eva.

- Where is he now?
- Pål?

I sent him out
to drink beer and watch football.

I can't have him around me right now.

That might not be
the best starting point.

I love him, but ...

It was empty.

And now we're discussing
baby names and wallpaper.

I just have to talk to someone,
to make sure this isn't total madness.

I feel like
I've lived my life in reverse.

When everyone else
was screwing around, partying, -

- I was very, very conservative.

Now my thirst for freedom is stronger.

I feel like I'm fighting -

- a mental civil war
against my own biological clock.

Have you had an abortion?

Yes.

How was it?
Hard?

No.

No, it wasn't at the time.
But later, yes.

How?

I struggled a lot
with thoughts that popped up -

- while my body still felt pregnant.
Hormones, and all that.

But it was the right choice for me.
Then.

But it was OK?
You can live with it?

Yes.
Absolutely.

Afterwards I thought now and then -

- about who it was I had removed.

But then I think maybe
I spared someone this life.

Are you considering it?

What was it like to be pregnant?

That is -

- totally overrated.

- But it is nice, too.
- Isn't it?

That feeling
of creating a new life ...

It's incredible.

But it's uncomfortable to feel
that my body is no longer my own.

Just wait till everyone thinks
they have a right to touch your body.

I remember having this urge
to poke those gropers' eyes out.

Would you do it again?
Have an abortion?

No.

Not now. But if I felt
like I did back then ...

It all boils down to
what you can live with.

And I have found out
that is quite a lot.

My life is more black and white
than grey, right now.

Boiled vegetables, steamed vegetables
and sauteed vegetables.

And one sad, skinless bird.

Good job, guys!

You can deep fry
the other five days, Dag.

And Leon can avoid the
cholesterol level of an 80-year-old.

- My cholesterol isn't high.
- We'll see what the doctor says.

- Leon likes deep frying too.
- Is this deep fried?

Unfortunately, no.
Today we're eating dead plants.

Here's what we're having today.

It looks like a ... bush.

Could you go get some water, Leon?

Thank you!

I want to keep you alive
a little longer.

Benedikt!
Saved by the bell.

I've got a fucking crisis here!

Have you fucked already?

- Do you want me to plug it in?
- No! No, it's fine.

Good to be out again?
