Original subtitles

Would you like to talk about how that happened?

It looks painful. When Mom gets here, someone will take a look at it.

Why are you looking at me? I haven't said anything.

-Hi. -Hi.

This is all a big misunderstanding.

Yousef was at practice yesterday and hurt his arm.

If we thought it was broken, we would have sent him to the ER.

Come on, Yousef.

We can talk when you've been to the ER and things have calmed down.

I'll drive them down and call you later.

Can I go back to my math class?

-Helin... -Fuck you!

-Was this the first time she talked? -Yeah. He doesn't talk.

But she broke down this morning.

If what she says is true, he is the victim, not she,

since she's good at school and he's not.

-But I'm not sure. -No, you never know.

Keep an eye on her. She seemed very stressed.

SUCK IT UP

How do you feel the keto thing is going?

Pork chops are keto.

Can't you keep food in your own fridge?

It's so impractical if you keep it free of temptations

just to sneak down here at night to eat.

I'm not sneaking. I'm eating my feelings.

Anne's 40th birthday is soon, and I'm dreading it.

So am I.

By the way, did you know

that one little cutlet has 350 calories?

Maybe you should try the keto diet. Think about your health.

Speaking of health, I booked you a doctor's appointment

for a routine check-up before the Pilgrim's Route.

I'm a doctor, and I say no.

You really should go to the doctor

before walking 650 kilometers, just to check your blood pressure.

I'm in great shape, honey.

I've never felt better.

I need to drop a few kilos, but then I'll be good to go.

It's not a failure to go to the doctor.

Anne once tried to send me to an acupuncturist

for my back, and I didn't reply to text messages for a week.

I've thought a lot about that.

How could I be so childish?

You're still that childish.

-Don't worry about it. -Okay.

I think I'll just take these with me upstairs.

Dad, please go to the doctor.

I'm a doctor, and I say no.

-Good book? -Very.

Just as good as Harry Potter?

Yeah. At least as good as The Prisoner of Azkaban.

But I don't understand everything.

What does "fruit of the loins and lusts of the flesh" mean?

Ask your dad tomorrow when you meet him.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

I found a brilliant way of making money without any effort.

Airbnb. Zero work. You can just cash in.

I know what Airbnb is,

but I have no interest in renting out this house. I live here.

You don't, but I do.

I need a lot more money to pay for the trip,

which you said I have to.

We shouldn't have to suffer because you lost your money on poker.

You'll just have to work more.

-Hi. -Hi.

-I'm just saying bye. -Bye.

-Didn't you break up? -Don't be awkward.

They may not be exclusive anymore, but they can still hang out.

-Don't meddle. -Okay. Sorry.

Will she come visit you during fall break?

No. It's over.

-What's there to do in Voss? -It's not in Voss. It's in Granvin.

And there's lots to do there. They have a great handball team.

They have lots of snow in winter. It's awesome.

So I'll be great at snowboarding. And dialect.

"If you know some Voss dialect and some German,

you can travel around the world,

but if you get to Constantinople, then you'll..."

-"Then you'll be stuck." -That's it.

And one more time. Yes, yes, yes.

Have you started exercising before breakfast, too?

This is the first session.

And then we'll go for a bike session this evening.

Leo and Rim... I thought they broke up?

They did, but they're just not "exclusive" anymore.

I don't really understand the rules.

Dad, have you considered

that Leo might be moving to Granvin just to please Charlie?

I think he actually wants to stay here with us.

Is there any doubt? Why else would he move?

Because he wants to. I've asked a hundred times,

and he keeps saying he wants to, so I have to believe him.

Do you really?

Don't you work with children?

How often are they able to articulate what's really bothering them?

I have to rethink my career choice. I just don't understand children.

It's normal not to understand your own children.

There's so much noise that interferes with your judgment.

That's why you have this wise man.

You have to go to the routine check-up I booked.

There's nothing wrong with me.

My VO2 max has increased from 29 to 31 in 14 days.

I don't even know what that means.

Can't you convince him to go?

I've made a vow that if I have to choose between you and him,

I have to choose him, unfortunately.

But his oxygen intake has increased by two in three weeks.

That's not a whole lot. He's a stubborn man.

I'll say.

-Bye. -Bye.

-Have a nice day. -You too. Bye.

The journal shows that Yousef has been to the ER a lot.

He's had many stitches and broken his nose and arm.

We're a bit worried. What do you think?

Amir would never hurt Yousef.

He just wants him to do well.

Not for our sake, but for their own.

How's your arm now?

It will heal.

When you broke your nose in February...

What happened?

Some friends and I were playing basket.

One of my friends,

Victor, I think, smashed the ball in my face.

I don't remember. I think he was playing basket.

What's it like at home?

There's a bit of yelling and shouting,

since Yousef isn't motivated.

It must be hard for you, with all the yelling and shouting.

I don't know.

There's some yelling and shouting between me and Dad,

since I'm not very motivated, but Dad doesn't do anything wrong.

He just wants me to get good grades.

How are you?

Those kids are so instructed.

They say exactly what the parents told them to say.

It really disheartens me.

Why? Haven't you seen enough disorganized attachment

to not be surprised?

It takes a long time.

This job...

You have to love losing.

That kind of warped loyalty makes me so depressed.

Yeah.

From Leo: Can I bring your headset with me to Granvin

till I get a new one? Love, your favorite nephew

Of course

Miss Middelthon?

-Hi! -Hi!

-I have a new delivery for you. -No!

You're too generous.

I should give you wine, for teaching Hanna.

No, that's my privilege.

Valduero Ribera del Duero 2010. It's lovely.

Thank you so much.

You're too kind.

By the way, the documents are ready.

You have 14 days to hopefully not have any objections at all.

I have no objections, but I think Jentoft in number 10 is displeased.

-You should give him wine. -I'm only giving wine to you.

-Invite me for a glass sometime. -Okay.

Bye.

-Hey! -Hi.

Hi.

-Hi. -Hi.

-You've ordered coffee? -Of course.

Thanks.

How's the move going? Just let me know if you need help.

It's going fine. Dad has helped me this week.

I know it's a little late, but we're absolutely sure, right?

Of what?

That Leo will go with you.

Yes, I'm sure.

You've talked to him 300 times. I've talked to him 450.

Yes, I'm absolutely sure.

I'm just worried that he's doing it for you.

No, he's not.

I've made it clear that he shouldn't think like that.

Yeah, but maybe he does anyway, even if he doesn't say it.

I knew you would do something like this.

You really can't stop meddling.

Do you really think you know more about my son than I do?

No. Sorry. I...

Of course not. I just...

I see so much screwed-up loyalty that doesn't help anyone, and...

I'm sorry.

I just want us to do what's right for Leo.

There is no "us."

It's me and Leo. You're not a part of the equation.

I'm sorry. I know you mean well, but you just have to let this go.

I'm Leo's father.

Of course.

Isn't it weird to celebrate a dead person's birthday?

No, it's not that weird.

She would turn 40, so we'll use the occasion to show

that we miss her and...

Do you want to be wrapped burrito-style?

No, that's childish. Can you read for me?

It's nice that you still want to be read to.

Are you done with Harry? Should we try this one?

This one.

Isn't that a little mature?

-Would you be glad if Dad died? -No. Absolutely not.

-It doesn't feel like you like him. -I like Dad.

You didn't even want to read his book.

Sure, I'd be happy to read his book.

Wow. You've gotten far.

"I didn't give a fuck that Mom and Dad were in the front seat

and let Aunt K squeeze her hand around my..."

Should we read Harry instead?

Okay, but I really think you should read it.

It would mean a lot to Dad.

-Didn't I get rid of Harry Potter? -I removed them from the trash.

You can read authors even if you disagree with them.

Exactly. So you should read Dad.

Touch�.

Busted.

Delete that picture!

No. I'll send it to Stephen if you don't go to the doctor.

You're a disloyal daughter.

You take pictures of me eating carbohydrates

and threaten to share them!

Just go to the doctor. I'll delete the picture right away.

Fine!

How did it go with Charlie?

He's annoyed with me. He thinks I meddle in things.

You do. But you have to, for Leo's sake.

We can't send him away because he feels sorry for his dad.

But you have to talk to Leo, not his dad.

I know.

Grab the buns, if there are any left.

Kids!

Birthday breakfast!

Maybe they're a little dry.

Sorry, Leo. I'm not as good at baking as your mom.

Nobody is as good as baking as my mom.

According to herself.

She could be very pleased with herself from time to time.

That's a nice trait.

-What does that mean? -"You're like a brother to me."

It's from me and Sigrid. A goodbye present.

Thanks!

You know that Leo isn't old enough to drink wine?

That wine costs more than 700 kroner. Really extravagant, Hanna.

Life's too short to drink cheap wine.

And in Granvin, they probably only have moonshine.

But it's actually a re-gifting. It's from my Spanish teacher.

-That Fuentes is so nice. -Yes.

I imagine the wine importer wants to make a good impression...

on a certain single mother in the neighborhood.

Stop it.

Okay. Let's drink to Anne.

Happy birthday.

-Happy birthday. -Happy birthday, my girl.

Happy birthday, Mom.

Everyone will understand if you don't want to join Charlie in Granvin.

I get that you think you have to take care of your dad, but you don't.

Huh?

You shouldn't give up your friends, the handball,

your band, Rim and everything you have in Oslo for your dad.

Your dad wouldn't want that.

I'm not one of your child welfare cases

that defends their parents

even though they've been fucked in the ass since they were four.

I like living in Oslo, and I love you guys,

but I want to live with my dad.

And that's normal, since he's all I have right now.

I just don't want you to do something out of loyalty to Charlie

that you'll regret.

What's wrong with loyalty?

My dad is all I have, so back off.

Okay.

-Where are the others? -Grandpa is driving with Stephen.

Sigrid had a bad hair day or something.

-Are we picking up Charlie? -No, he's driving his own car.

Bad hair day?

Go and call her.

Sigrid!

You have to go out of the car and shout.

Can't you do it?

Happy birthday, Mom.

Sorry I ruined your 39th birthday.

I wish you were 40, fat and finished instead of here.

My dearest Anne.

I...

I'm sorry.

LOVE

There's a time for grief, and there's a time for joy.

The latter can be difficult to remember,

especially on a day like this, but...

we're doing our best, so today, I'm taking your flock with me

to your favorite pizza place, my girl.

My little girl.

Should we sing the birthday song?

Yes, that'd be nice.

Yes, may she live Yes, may she live

Yes, may she live for a hundred years

Of course she will live Of course she will live

Of course she will live for a hundred years

Yes, may she live Yes, may she live

Yes, may she live for a hundred years

Of course she will live Of course she will live

Of course she will live for a hundred years

Sometimes, your Swedish fetish is really inappropriate.

No, it was just perfect.

-Are you okay? -Yes.

Will he be okay on the Pilgrim's Route?

-Is he in good shape? -Yes.

We'll take it very easy.

We're going to enjoy ourselves.

I was a boy scout, so I'll pitch the tent and cook.

It's important with his diet that he eats enough,

so his body doesn't go into a defensive mode.

We'll increase the calories a little, and then he'll be fine.

I'm not too worried about the calories.

Where's Leo?

I'll go get him. Wait by the car.

-Are you keeping it together? -Yeah.

I'm sorry for meddling.

-I'll back off. -It's fine.

I get a little warped by my job.

I'm not always able to separate between healthy and unhealthy.

Don't worry. You're still the boss.

I think I'm a little selfish, too.

I want you to stay here,

so Anne won't be completely gone.

I found this when I cleaned out the house in Asker.

Is it your mom's?

The subscription is still active.

I've called it sometimes, just to hear her voice.

I do that too.

I know.

I charge it occasionally, so I've seen it.

Maybe we should stop calling?

I thought I'd leave it here.

-Should we bury it? -Yeah.

Do you want me to cancel the subscription?

No, not yet. It's too soon.

Okay. Ready for pizza?

I heard on a podcast once

that grieving people have poor appetite.

-I haven't had that. -No. People grieve in different ways.

Hi. Are Helin and Yousef at school today?

There was no one home.

I was sure you'd been told. They moved to Nannestad.

Fuck.

I can get you the address. I'll ask one of Helin's friends.

It's not my case anymore. It will be transferred to Nannestad.

It's not uncommon.

-Thanks for the help. Bye. -Bye.

Fuck!

Damn it.

Did they say anything useful that we should tell Nannestad?

On the contrary, I would say. They've been instructed.

They only say what Mom and Dad tells them to say.

I needed more time.

You're used to kids with attachment disorders.

-Loyalty gone bad. -Yeah.

Take some brioche. Madjid left a whole lot before he went on leave.

There's a lot of loyalty gone bad in this office, too,

if people can take leave whenever they want.

Don't pout. Madjid will be back next week.

You should be glad that people are programmed to be loyal.

As long as it's healthy. If not, your kids would have run away.

That's true.

From Dad: Can you pick me up from the doctor's today?

Of course!

Everything went well?

They printed it out for me.

Blood pressure: perfect.

You'd think I was 37, not 73. It's completely perfect.

Iron levels: perfect.

B12: perfect.

-Blood count: perfect. -That's great, Dad.

Am I ready to walk the Pilgrim's Route? Yes.

Am I a doctor? Yes.

Do I have a daughter that doesn't trust me? Yes.

-Hearing: perfect. -That's enough.

Blood pressure: excellent.

Cholesterol: magnificent.

Sedimentation: never seen better.

Hey, what do you think, Charlie?

-For a 72-year-old man? -73.

Isn't it insensitive to brag about your health to me?

No, I don't think so.

Leo? They're here.

Hi.

Can you hold this?

-Hi! -Hi.

I came to say goodbye and give you this.

It was a Christmas present.

It's signed by Sander Sagosen.

That's awesome!

-Thank you so much. -It wasn't easy to get it.

A handshake won't do. I need a hug. Talk to you later.

Bye.

-Are you all right? -Yeah.

-Don't forget these, Leo. -No.

See you in a few weeks!

-Bring back some Kari Traa stuff! -Bye!

-Goodbye! -Call when you're back, please!

We could rent out Leo's room.

Are you daft? Of course we won't.

Should we do something?

No, Dad is taking me and Michaela horseback riding.

What about you? Want to go for a swim?

No, I have double Spanish lessons with Jan in half an hour.

Would you like some coffee?

We've bought new walking shoes that we have to walk in.

And we have a new Primus stove, but...

No, that's fine. Just be careful with the Primus.

I'm an old boy scout. Primus stoves are my thing.
