THE FOLLOWING STORY IS INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS

-Hello. -Hello.

-Sorry I'm late. -That's OK.

-Please take a seat. -Thanks.

So...

Yes. All tests show what we want them to show at the moment.

And what does that mean?

Well, it means that we will slowly start to reduce the sedatives,

and try to wake Jakob in as normal a way as possible.

OK. And how long will it take, approximately?

Well, it depends on how he responds to the tapering of his medication.

It may take days or weeks.

Assuming everything goes well, of course.

Right. And then? What happens after he wakes up?

Jakob has a long road ahead of him.

How long, and the extent of his injuries,

we will only find out once he has fully woken up.

Right...

-Ebba. -What?

-Wait. -What's wrong?

-We need to talk. -But we just did.

No, not about Jakob.

-OK? -About us...

We... We have to two kids together.

The kids have nothing to do with this.

-Yes, they do. -No, this is about you.

And what you've done. That you fucked my best friend.

Please...

Just a very short chat.

I can't carry on staying at hotels any longer.

No, I understand. You should probably try to buy something fast.

What do you mean, buy something?

I mean, you can't afford to buy my share of the apartment.

-Buy your share? -Yes.

I don't think it would be very good for either Jakob or Mathilda

to have to move around a lot.

What? What are you talking about? I...

I don't want a divorce.

No...

No, no. You should have thought about that before...

...you had an affair with my best friend.

No, but I... It wasn't an affair. It happened once.

-Why... Why should I believe you? -Because it's true.

-Come on. -It is.

Where did you fuck?

-It doesn't matter. -Yes, It matters to me.

-So? Where'd you do it? -At ours.

What?

-What, in our bed? -No, of course not in our bed.

How should I know?

Where did you do it, then? What, was it on the couch,

or in the kitchen, or in the bath tub?

-Please Ebba, it doesn't matter. -Yes, to me it does.

It matters to me.

We did it in the hallway.

What do you mean in the hallway?

Yes in the hallway, on the floor. But you have to... You have to...

It was wrong, I did wrong.

I feel like such a fucking idiot. You have to understand...

I... But, I was confused.

I was sad about everything, this thing with Jakob.

And I felt so alone. You've been so distant and...

You can't put this on me.

-No, I know that's no excuse. -No.

But... I don't know...

I don't know what to say other than sorry.

-I did wrong. I made a mistake. -Yes.

A stupid fucking mistake. I know that.

But it's not like you've never made a mistake in your life, right?

No. But you know, I've never fucked your best friend.

And I have never ever cheated on you. Never.

-Listen, I need to come home now. -No.

We need each other, at least for Jakob's sake.

Stop it. Stop bringing the kids into this.

I will never be married to you for their sake. Never.

OK, but for our sake, then?

For the 23 years we have together. Because we love each other.

Listen...

Hey...

You can stay with Jakob for a few hours. We'll swap over later.

OK. What are you going to do?

-Why? -No, I'm just wondering.

No. No.

Lukas, are you leaving already?

Weren't you going to go to his school today?

-Yes. -He could at least wait for you.

Darling? You don't need to go yet, do you?

I want to go now.

Can't you wait for My? Please. Come on.

Yeah, OK.

If we're going to walk together, you don't need to run.

-I'm not. -Yes, you are.

No, this is my usual pace.

What? I can't hear what you're saying.

I said that this is my usual pace.

I'm so kind to you, I haven't even told Helena about those damn pills.

-Yes, but you will though, right? -It's best if you do it, of course.

You have til tomorrow. If you haven't told her, I will.

-Tomorrow? -Yes.

-Why do you want to ruin my life? -You're 18 years old.

Now act like it! Take some damn responsibility for once!

-Is Sebbe not coming? -I really tried, but he said no.

-He doesn't answer when I call. -Give him time.

What if he never comes back.

Jesus, Gloria. Of course he will. You're his mother. He loves you.

I just think it's all a bit much right now.

He's worried about Jakob and...

And when you said about the drugs, I think he took it pretty hard.

But you... You do understand that I had to do it, right?

Yes, of course. But I think he...

Listen. You just have to wait til he's ready. OK?

-I don't know how. -I get it.

It'll be fine.

It's not just that, it's Ebba as well.

Mm? What about her?

I slept with Fredrik.

-What the hell? Gloria... -I know.

I know. It's unforgivable and...

-I wanted to comfort him. -OK...

So, you comforted him with a little fuck?

No. No, I didn't, it wasn't like that. It just happened.

OK. Does Ebba know?

She read Fredrik's text that said we shouldn't tell anyone.

OK...

Well that was fucking unnecessary.

By the way, the short wall in the bedroom, how long is it?

What? Why do you ask?

Emma and I are moving in soon.

Yes, I know.

But no, I don't know how long the wall is.

-Hello. -Hello. Are you working today?

No, I just thought I'd check my mail so I didn't miss anything.

OK.

Thanks.

There's a bottle of bubbly in your office.

All the papers for Lärkstaden have been signed now.

-Ah! -Another record.

That's good.

-Hello. -Hello.

-How are you? -OK.

I just... thought I'd check my mail so I don't miss anything.

-You're not missing anything. -No.

And how's Jakob?

Well... The doctors are going to wake him soon.

-After that, we'll have to see. -I see.

-Just press that when you're ready. -Yes.

-Shout if there's anything else. -Thanks.

-Hello. -Hello.

I didn't know you were coming in today.

Yeah, no... No, I wasn't going to.

OK. Because I have a shoot today so...

Well, my clients will be arriving any minute now.

Right, right... I don't have a shoot today, so...

OK. Um...

But... How are you? Sebbe hasn't gotten any worse, has he?

-No, no. -And Jakob?

-Same as before. -OK.

-Hello! Welcome. -Hello. Just to...

Would you like something to drink, coffee?

Wait, I'm just going to say hello to My.

Hello My.

-Hello. How are you two? -Well, it is what it is.

Yes, it must be a very difficult situation for you.

Do you have someone to talk to?

They said we can go talk to the school counselor,

but she's only here every other Tuesday between two and four.

Yeah, that's good. You can also call this number if you need to.

Where is the bathroom?

There's one out there. On the right.

Thanks.

I'll send the pictures soon as I've edited them.

-Great. Bye. -Yes, great.

-Take care, I'll be in touch. -Yeah, bye.

Listen... We need to talk.

OK. About what?

I need to give up my spot here.

What? Why?

I've been offered another studio.

Please, Olivia. Not now.

So... I realize this is not a good time for you at all.

And I have my notice period and so on,

but after that I'm going to work somewhere else.

Yeah, I need to think of myself too.

I'm going to get an ulcer if I keep working here,

it's way too chaotic. For me.

You are number 21 in the queue.

You are number 20 in the queue.

You are number 20 in the queue.

-Hey. What did I tell you. -I can't talk, I'm in a phone queue.

-It's from the police, just read... -No, I'm in a phone queue.

-Just read what it says! -No.

Read it!

I don't want to read your fucking letter!

Then why the hell have you been mad at me all this time?

-Read the letter! -Go! Go away!

What are you doing?

I think I'm about to have a miscarriage.

So, please leave me alone!

-You are number 18 in the queue. -Leave me!

-Are you... Are you pregnant? -Yes.

Where... Where's mom?

At the clinic and I can't get hold of her

because she's in a board meeting.

You need go to the emergency room.

-I'll drive. Come on. -Yeah, OK.

Yeah, hi. It's Gloria from the photo studio.

Yes, better, thanks. Yes.

Listen, I've been doing some thinking...

I've come to the conclusion that I unfortunately have to...

-leave the studio. -OK.

Yes. Yes, it's the way has to be.

Yes. It's such a shame, but it's not going to work right now.

I think it says three months in the contract.

Three months. Mm. Absolutely.

Yes we will. OK. See you. Bye.

-Excuse me? -How can I help you?

I think I'm about to have a miscarriage.

Have you been referred by our telephone service?

No, I couldn't get through.

If you haven't been referred to us, we can't help you.

-But I'm in pain and I'm bleeding. -How many weeks are you?

-Seven. -If you're only seven weeks,

there's nothing we can do, you just have to let it run its course.

But, OK. Please, listen. She's in pain.

She needs help and she needs to see a doctor.

We wouldn't be here if it wasn't really important.

So, please, I'm begging you.

Please, please, it's... She's in pain and we need help.

OK, if I can get your social security number,

I'll see what I can do.

Sure. 72 08 28.

Hi. You don't have to hide the cigarette from me.

-Are you coming up? -I... was going to.

But, like, I couldn't.

It's just so hard to see him lying there

with all the machines and tubes and shit.

I know. I think so too.

I want to be here, I really do, as much as I can,

but it's... just so hard.

And if I'm not here, it's like I'm letting him down.

Carro, you're not letting him down.

That's how it feels.

You're not. You mustn't think like that.

There are so many people taking care of him. Do you understand?

-I don't want it to be like this. -No, I know.

I don't want it either.

You shouldn't feel bad.

You have to live your life, do you understand?

Don't sit in there all the time.

You should go out and have fun. That's what Jakob would have wanted.

You think so?

I know. Of course.

Come here.

-Are you OK? -Mm.

-My? -Should I wait here?

You can both come through, it's fine.

My name is Veronica Fäldt, gynecologist.

Undress behind the screen over there and then lie down.

Sorry to have kept you waiting so long,

it's been a bit chaotic here today.

So, bleeding in the seventh week after IVF,

-is that right? -Yes.

So, besides the bleeding, any other sensations?

Pain in any particular area?

-Yes, I have pain here. -OK. Have you seen a heartbeat yet?

No, we have an appointment for next week.

OK. In that case, we'll need to do a vaginal ultrasound

-to see what it looks like. -Yes.

OK? Alright?

Let's see...

Was it a miscarriage?

Well, unfortunately I couldn't detect a heartbeat.

-No. -I saw an empty sac in there,

so yes, it was a spontaneous miscarriage.

I'm sorry. I can give you painkillers,

but I don't think we'll need to scrape

because, from what I saw, most of it has come out.

Good.

-Hello. -Hello.

-Hello. -Hello.

-How's it going? -Fine. No change.

Hello, darling. Hi, little guy. Mommy's here.

There...

I was thinking of taking the car this afternoon.

Unless you've got plans.

No. No, yeah. Yeah, of course. Do that.

-Don't know what I'll do, actually. -No.

But I'll take the bus or something if...

What are you going to do?

Thought I'd pick up Mathilda a little earlier. Do something.

-Oh, nice. -Mm.

-Yes, well... I'll be off then. -Right.

And I'm picking up Mathilda tomorrow, right?

-Mm. -OK, good.

-Yes. OK. Goodbye. -Goodbye.

Bumped into Carro downstairs. She sends her love.

Oh, yeah. Liverpool beat Real yesterday.

3-2. In overtime.

Salah scored in the 94th.

Nice goal.

Yep. Yeah.

Yeah, we'll have to see what happens.

-Hello. -Hi.

-How are you doing? -I'm OK.

Lukas was amazing today.

I am so sorry.

-Me too, but we knew it. -Yes. But still.

And I realized how much I would have loved

to have this child with you.

-Now that's not going to happen. -No.

No. But we can try again. It's not a done deal.

No. No.

-Come on, let's go to the couch. -OK.

-Come on, then. -Alright.

-Mom! -Hi sweetie.

Hello, my love.

-Is your ice cream good? -Very.

Good. Mine too.

Is Jakob going to wake up soon?

Yes. The doctors are going to try to wake him now.

Is everything going to go back to normal then?

No, it won't be quite as usual.

Jakob is very injured.

Will he be able to walk?

-I don't know. -What about talking?

I hope so.

But he'll be able to turn me upside down and do the pointy death, right?

I don't know Mathilda.

Do you understand? I don't really know.

What about Dad?

Dad? What about him?

When is he coming home?

He's bring you home tomorrow, isn't he?

Yes, I know that. But, when's he coming home for real?

I...

I can't actually answer that. I... I don't know.

Sometimes it's not so easy being an adult.

It's not easy being a child either.

No. No, it's not.

Lukas. Dinner's ready.

Mom. This came today from the police.

What is it?

Have you told Dad? Good. I'll go and call him then.

Sorry for not believing you.

No, it's fine.

No. I'm sorry.

-Don't tell Helena about the pills. -What? But you wanted me to do it.

Yes, but it won't change anything and you won't do it again, will you?

-No, never. -Good.

Thank you for... For being with me today.

I didn't do anything.

Yes, you did. You were there.

-Are you still in pain? -Yes, a little... But it'll pass.

There. Now let's eat.

- Yes, I know... thanks. - The measurement on the wall is 1,14 m.

Hello? OK.

Hello. Hi. Hi, honey.

Hello, Jakob. Hi there. Hey.

Hi.

Sweetheart.

Sweetheart, sweetheart. It'll be OK.

-Come and have a look. -Hi.

Hi, Jakob. My precious.

Hello, little guy... Hi...

-Darling. -Hello you.

-He's here. -Hey. Hi.

Hello, Jakob. We're here now. It'll be alright.
