-No. Not interested. -Come on.

-Forget it. -I'll go, then.

Come back here.

EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE

Try to get the dog to jump out on its own.

Just keep your cool, Karoline.

You have to keep trying, Karoline.

Try to get the dog to jump out on its own.

-Hello? -Just keep your cool, Karoline.

What did I say? Lovely.

Did you see the difference?

Yes. Just keep your cool. That's good.

We keep living our lives.

We're grandparents and mothers.

We are all kinds of people.

We don't do this without being affected by it in some way.

-Hi, Ola. -But something pushes you forward.

I tried to ring the doorbell.

It's broken. What's up? Have I done something wrong?

No. Not yet, anyway.

You said I could borrow the wheelchair.

Yeah, don't worry about it. I just wanted to...

pop by and... see how you're doing.

Rough day?

Nobody's asked me how I'm doing since my mother was alive.

I'm doing great, thanks.

Life is like a chicken-coop ladder.

Narrow, steep, short and shitty.

That's what my uncle used to say.

Do you remember how Elisabeth used to imitate him? She was great.

Have you picked up the medicine I prescribed?

This is my medicine.

I don't want medicine that prevents me from drinking.

-It's going to kill you. -So what?

If I die today, nobody will come to my funeral anyway.

Besides, it's much better to be drunk than sober.

Write me a power of attorney, and I'll go get your medicines.

Why?

In the meantime, you can clean up this pigsty and take a shower.

I'll come by with the medicine tomorrow.

On Labour Day. Your day, Ola.

-Okay? -Okay.

But I want Valium too.

That's fine.

When I die, I'll donate my body to you,

so you can use me for the important medical work

that I'm sure you're doing because you're a good guy.

You smell bad, Ola.

-Here. -I'll write it in my will.

"My body belongs to Henry Johnsen", it will say.

-Write the power of attorney first. -Yes, sir.

Doctor's orders.

Leo?

Leo?

Leo?

Have you seen Leo?

Malin? Have you seen Leo anywhere?

I found this over there. Has nobody seen him? Leo?

Leo?

Leo?

Leo?

Leo!

-Hi. -Hi.

I'm picking up some medicines for Ola Nilsen.

Okay.

Control.

He's collecting medicine for someone else.

-Henry? Long time no see. -Yeah.

How's Ola doing? Is he too sick to come and get this himself?

Oh, well. That's no big surprise.

-What do you mean? -He doesn't look after himself.

Does he have visual disturbances too?

That's right.

Antabus, Valium and strong migraine medicines.

-Isn't that a weird combination? -Can't you just do your job?

You're as charming as always.

I can't say we miss you much in the choir.

The feeling's mutual.

Say hi to Ola from me.

-Hello, Henry. -Bodil.

-Have you changed your mind? -What?

The barbecue. You're still invited. It would be nice if you dropped by.

Is the doctor from Haukeland here for chemo today?

Yes.

Yeah.

Henry.

Hi. It's been a while.

Yes, it has.

You finally decided to visit me in the basement?

Yeah. I didn't know you come here every time.

-No? -No.

I think the drive up from Bergen is really nice.

Yeah.

Right. Congratulations on the new job at Haukeland.

-Thanks. -That's great.

We'll get to hang out.

Yeah.

I have a case here that I want you to look at.

Right. Step into my office, as they say.

Well? What do you think?

Well... based on the size and placement of the tumour

and the patient's description of the symptoms,

if this is what I think it is,

then we're looking at a glioblastoma.

Would you operate?

Glioblastoma is the most aggressive form of cancer,

so I don't think surgery would help. The outcome would be the same.

I think you're wrong.

I think it can be operated.

Well, feel free to consult with others, but I think that...

the answer will be the same.

So what's the prognosis?

There's no biopsy here, so it's hard to say

what stage the cancer has reached.

I have to tell him something. What should I say?

-I wouldn't say too much. -Okay, but between you and me?

Between you and me? One to three years left to live.

That's my opinion

about the patient Ola Nilsen.

I'm sorry.

But Bergen...

That'll be great.

We should do that.

Right.

Cool.

It'll be great to have you in Bergen.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Excuse me? Hello! Can we get some help here?

-Talk to the doctor on duty. -Please.

This is my first day at work.

First, he ran away, and now he's put something up his nose.

-Is it Leo again? -Hello!

Get a grip, Leo. Stop fooling around.

I want my mum.

She's busy. You have yourself to blame.

-Idiot doctor! -And you're a brat.

What's going on?

Leo, Pernille's son, put something up his nose again.

-Pernille? -The dark-haired, semi-pretty one.

-What? -With the tiny boobs.

-The operating nurse. -Our co-worker at the hospital.

-Can we get some help here? -Take care of that moron.

Do you call children morons here in Norway?

If you make the same mistake twice in one week, you're a moron.

Nice helmet.

Leo!

Hi Josef.

Can you take a look at a case for me?

I heard you yelled at Agnes in the OR.

In front of everyone, on her first day of work.

-Did I? -Yes, you did.

I want you to apologise to her, personally.

-Give me a break. -I mean it, Henry.

It's your responsibility

that she learns our routines and feels safe here.

You can't behave like this.

-That's the way I am. -Yes, but that's not good enough.

Come on.

Come on, let's go.

Get up!

Sit still.

I'll just pull this out.

-That's great. -Hi.

-Did you get it out? -No.

Right...

I want to say

that I'm sorry that you perceived me as unpleasant during surgery. There.

So you're sorry for my reaction to your behaviour?

-Yeah. She's forcing me. -Okay. In that case, it's worthless.

Henry is trying to say that he's really sorry

for his unreasonable behaviour.

-Is he? -Yes, he is.

-Yes. -Are we in fucking kindergarten?

Can't you just say sorry, so Leo can get the fucking pebble out?

-Henry? -Yes?

I'm sorry I was so stupid during surgery.

Thank you.

Now...

-Leo? -Mum, look!

Thank God. I'm done. Goodbye.

What have you done now?

Leo put a pebble up his nose, but he got it out himself.

You're nine, Leo. You should stop doing that.

Yes, you should stop doing that.

Do you know what Henry said? He said you have tiny boobs.

He also said you're semi-pretty.

Okay?

Right. But you have to get ready.

You have three varicose veins lined up.

You're so silly.

-Bye. -Thank you.

That's the fourth pebble you've put up your nose in two weeks.

Prophylactic antibiotics have been administered.

-Risk factors related to surgery? -No.

No risk factors related to anaesthesia. No blood thinners.

Okay. This should be quick. Let's begin.

Do you know what the staff meeting is about?

No.

Several people are worried that they will close the emergency department.

If you know anything, I would appreciate it if you told me.

-Did you hear me? -Focus, Petter. Focus.

I forgot that you don't care about anything. Sorry.

Petter, focus. Forceps.

Shit.

Come on, damn it! Come on, you fucking machine!

Fuck!

Fucking shit!

Fucking machine!

Fuck!

Okay.

So violence solves all problems in Norway.

-Thanks. -At least in Odda.

-Are you married? -Yeah. Or...

-Are you? -No.

Hell no.

-Don't be so modest. -Modest?

-The squeaky wheel gets the grease. -Those two are married.

-Ellen and Leidar. -Yes.

-Hello. -Has it been six weeks already?

-Time flies. -Yes, time flies.

-I hope they'll figure it out soon. -We'll keep our fingers crossed.

Yes, we'll keep our fingers crossed.

-Let's sit down in the wheelchair. -It's not my legs that are hurting.

-It's my stomach that's worst. -Just get in the wheelchair.

-Who's that? -That's the Samuelsen Riddle.

-The Samuelsen Riddle? -Yeah.

Leidar gets a rash every six weeks. Blisters and fever.

It's been like that for nearly two years.

He's been examined both here and elsewhere,

but we can't figure it out.

Hence the riddle. We've basically given him up.

Why can't they figure it out?

That's just it.

-Here we are. -Yes.

-It's to the right? -No, left.

Are you sure?

-Hi. -Hi.

Have you heard about the Samuelsen Riddle?

Have I heard about the Samuelsen Riddle?

It's the most discussed case in the history of the hospital.

There's even a cash prize for whoever solves it.

-Really? -Yeah.

It has calmed down now, but earlier,

everyone added 20 NOK to the pot every Friday.

Even the patients.

I think the pot reached about 100,000.

-You're lying. -It's true. 100,000.

-Seriously? -It's wild.

Everyone has given up now.

How does Samuelsen feel about this?

He doesn't know about it.

That's how it is.

Is the pot still active?

Sure, since nobody's solved the riddle.

You have a certain look on your face.

Talk to Kjellaug. She has all the information.

-And she's in charge of the cash. -Okay.

-I will do that. -You should.

-Hi, Josef. -Hi, Henry. It's been a while.

-Are you at work? -I'm starting in five minutes.

And you? I guess it's night over there.

Have you looked at the images I sent you?

Hold on. Let's see.

It depends on what stage he is in, but let's see here...

Visual disturbances and headaches are quite typical.

Dizziness and nausea. That's also common.

What about trembling?

That's common in later stages. Has he experienced that?

-No. -I guess that's a good sign.

What about personality changes and hallucinations?

No.

Those symptoms are most likely right around the corner.

Okay. But...

What are we looking at? Two or three years?

-Left to live, you mean? -Yeah.

No, I wouldn't say two or three years.

One year, tops.

Okay.

-What would you do? -There's not much to be done.

You can't really do anything.

If you operate, the chances of him becoming a vegetable are over 95%.

There's one case I know about that has succeeded. A guy in Russia.

-Who? -Dr Pavel Bogdanov.

In St. Petersburg.

He performed a similar procedure on a patient

with the same type of tumour. I think it was in 2017.

And he succeeded. The patient survived.

I can send you a link. It's a really cool case.

How's he doing now?

He relapsed one year later. He took his own life.

So...

Sorry I can't tell you anything more uplifting.

How are you doing?

Dear comrades.

Happy Labour Day.

This day is ours.

...face reality and not shy away from what needs to be done.

The people outside the labour force...

-All right. -...many of whom are young people...

-Your pills. -...need to find employment.

This is a win-win opportunity. Employers are desperate for workers.

Ola?

And many people are unemployed and wish to work.

We have to create policies to make that possible.

The great challenge for businesses is that they need workers.

-But when this situation happens... -Oh, fuck.

I need you alive, Ola.

Henry! Oh, my! It's so nice that you're coming to the party.

The...? No, I'm not going to any parties.

You're not?

Okay.

You're just airing your leg of lamb?

Okay. See you.

Is it Elisabeth?

Elisabeth!

She's unconscious, but she's breathing.

Elisabeth.

To get to the tumour, we had to go through the nose

via an endoscopic endonasal surgery.

First, we chiselled a hole in the cranium

before we could enter the brain and remove the glioblastoma.

Once the tumour material is removed,

the roof of the third ventricle,

the deepest area where the tumour was, can be seen.

The patient had intact pituitary function

and vision after the surgery.

We practised the procedure on several...

HEADACHES, DIZZINESS, FAINTING, VOMITING

VISUAL DISTURBANCES, TREMBLING, EPILEPTIC SEIZURES

HALLUCINATIONS, PERSONALITY CHANGES, DEATH
