- Really?

Dani, hey!

- What?

See you don't catch cold,

sleeping with so little on.

Right, have to be careful.

Was it a bear?

- Don't know.

Hardly.

Should we put up guards?

- Don't think so.

He's not there any more.

Better you don't come home yet.

I'd really appreciate it

if you didn't act difficult now.

So you seen any bears here?

- Not for fifty years at least.

Hey! Did you see

where he went? - There.

That way?

- Yeah.

He's somewhere

round the lake now.

We should call

the police or some -

what do you call them

- security things.

Would you call the police?

Would you call the police so we...

- You call them.

I'm coming in the back.

Dani'll drive.

No licence.

- Yes you have. Almost.

This will be a home test drive.

Dress rehearsals.

- I won't.

Yes, yes. Come out.

- The hell I will.

Out of there!

The f*** you're doing?

Drive, please.

And stop saying "f***" all the time!

It doesn't become you.

What's happening here?

- Slight rebellion in the air...

Buckle up.

What're you doing?

Open up!

- The mirror.

Did I fail the test?

I'd like to strangle her.

Your own daughter?

Strangle her?

Nothing bad must happen to Dani.

This'll ruin him!

You cannot make

his choices for him.

Should I encourage him

in everything then?

How can I make this stop?

- This is how it goes.

Only thing you can do is be there.

You can't solve this.

If they have an affair -

including sexual intercourse...

- It will be stopped!

Listen.

Your job as a father is to listen

and approve. Not blame.

What's happened?

- What's her plan?

Whose?

- Tilda's.

When does she leave?

Don't know. She got a job,

wants to pay rent.

So she's not leaving?

- You said she can stay.

She's got no flat in Copenagen.

Where're we going?

Need any underwear?

I don't use these any more.

- Yes.

Nothing too racy.

- Really great ones.

Will they do?

- Yes. Thanks.

Do they treat you all right?

- Yes.

You like it here?

- Yes.

You've had time to talk

and get to know each other...

Little by little.

I've got nothing against you

staying here, not in a hotel.

That's nice.

But don't worry about

what is not your business.

Thanks for these.

I've been meaning to

thank you.

- Uh-huh.

For letting Tilda stay. It's...

It's really important to me.

She's had to eat so much sh*t

you'd never believe.

You don't want to hear

the things she's done.

Been forced to do.

I've been thinking

of buying you a car.

Some wreck,

just like my father bought me.

We could go looking for one

some day, together.

- Right.

You shouldn't sleep in Tilda's room.

And anyway... She's not

a positive influence on you.

Spend time with your own pals.

Joni, Anton and the others.

From now on

you sleep in your own room.

It's abnormal.

Nothing wrong with it.

- Please don't.

You're not that simple.

I don't want to talk about it.

You don't get it.

I get it all right.

And it must end!

Whatever it is!

Sh*t, I don't even need to know.

Listen to us!

Is this a normal discussion?

We don't f***

if that's bugging you.

- I see.

You have refrained from

traditional intercourse. Great!

F*** you're nuts.

- And don't lie to me.

I've heard things.

- They got drugs for that.

Don't ruin your life.

You've got everything going for you.

This is none of your business.

You don't have to interfere!

Really?

I won't let you do

in that hormone buzz -

things you'll regret

the rest of your life!

Dani!

It can't dammit be true love!

A genetic perversion, disturbance...

They can't help themselves.

Sex affair. I'd end it right now.

- They can't help themselves.

And it's not certain...

if there's anything.

You haven't seen anything?

- They sleep in the same bed.

You need something concrete.

Delicate things, these.

Can't just use your suspicions

to judge people for incest.

Got any spy gadgets?

Little microphones -

you can put on lights

and the phone and...

Where's the order

for number three?

- Out, if you want

to keep yourjob.

I have never asked for money

or sold his possessions.

Those didn't matter.

It was a love affair.

Doesrt do anything for me.

Do not enter!

I thought he was with his wife!

Hello.

- I'll just put some clothes on.

You can come in now.

I'll move this here...

I'll capture that pointed...

F***ing moron!

What's got into you?

Think you can do

just anything? Dani!

Off with your shirt.

Take your shirt off!

For God's sake!

Can't you see

what she's doing to you?

No need for you

to teach him all your tricks.

Dani is my son.

I sincerely want

what's best for you.

You got a girlfriend?

Yes, but it doesn't work.

Why's that?

Our worlds are so far apart.

What should hers be like?

She's so f***ing normal.

Are you abnormal then?

Are you?

Good night.

What was the place

you wanted to go to?

What's that?

What's that light?

On the shelf.

The charges are dropped.

The District Court

decision stands.

The Estate of

Aaro Perl shall

compensate the defendant's -

legal expenses of

Everything is fine.

I will take six months

leave of absence -

and to save you from speculating

about my reasons I will tell you.

I will be a father for a while.

My elder son is in school

for his final year and...

will graduate.

The younger one has

just finished his first year.

So, nothing dramatic,

I just have to check...

Everything is fine!

Just have to check whether

something could be even better.

You smoke a lot of that?

Worried?

- Yes.

Good.

Give it to me! Give...

Well?

Where do you plan to go?

Somewhere.

- Will this chick go with you?

Perhaps.

She got a boyfriend?

- No.

What's the problem then?

Which one's for a latte?

- This one.

And cappuccino?

- Yes.

Hi.

- Coffee, please.

Two and ten.

There.

May I have a receipt?

- Push this.

My family is in 411.

It's a bit small,

got anything larger?

We got junior suites...

- No. What's your largest one?

The Presidential Suite.

- I'll take it. For a month.

Fine.

Yoo-hoo.

- Yoo-hoo.

Where's your mum?

- She went dancing.

And left you here.

- Yeah.

Pack up your books, we're moving.

- Can we go home now?

No.

Hi.

Hi, Milo.

- Hi.

Done your homework?

- No.

Did the babysitter come?

- No. She called.

What's nine times eight?

- Seventy-two.

Mum, there's a

flat-screen TV

in every room!

- Wonderful, darling!

You need professional help.

You keep us here in this hotel -

you video your grown-up

daughter in secret.

Apparently you stalk her

when she goes to pee.

I can get you treatment

but you must want it first.

You have no idea

what you're talking about.

Why the hell

do you leave Milo alone

and go dancing?

- I'm the weird one?

Help me, then.

Tell me what's going on

in your mind.

Dani and Tilda f***.

- Yeah, right.

My mind says

that's not good.

My mind says it must stop

my mind

says I must stop it.

Is that what you video?

Them f***ing?

Forget the

f***ing camera!

I haven't made any videos!

Understand?

Don't swear!
