if that's the same Daniel,

that's the same person?

Listen, I...

This can only tell

the person's name,

but cannot tell

the relationships between them.

This is not a wizard.

This is a database system.

If I know the name

of your grandfather...

- Okay, yeah, all right.

- Do you know him?

- No.

- No. Then...

if I knew his name,

then I could find him.

How was your praktik?

It was fun.

Morten got me a job at a hotel.

Well, hotel is not

a bad place to work.

No.

But you could do better.

- We can find your grandfather.

- What?

Yeah, look.

There is a year in the photo.

What? What's the matter?

- You got a splinter.

- No.

Here. You got tweezers?

Sorry.

That was a dick thing for your

uncle to say about your job.

What?

You can do better than a hotel?

My uncle is very nice.

Still, don't listen to him.

You want to work in a hotel,

work in a hotel.

I don't work in a hotel.

It's my praktik.

It's like my internship.

What internship?

Um...

Everyone does one in school.

You're in college?

Big one.

You okay?

Um...

I'm in...

I'm in ground school.

Next year I am going

to high school.

How old are you?

I'm 14.

No, you're not.

Yes, I am.

That's bullshit.

No, it's not.

What do you mean?

Why?

What why?

That's great.

That's just great.

I'm 15 soon.

You okay?

What are you doing?

- What's wrong with you?

- What's wrong?

You know, I came here

to this stupid city,

and my best friend

ditches me to get married.

I visit the only family I have

on this entire planet,

and I find out that

my grandfather is a Nazi.

And you're 14.

If you don't want to go

to the places in the photos,

that's fine,

but you still have to find

your grandfather.

How do we do that?

We just need

the baptism records,

then we can find

the name of the parents.

I did a project in school

last year about family trees,

and I could go 200 years back.

We just need to find the church.

Family tree project in school?

Jesus Christ.

Okay, so we just need

to find the church,

then we can go get the records.

- Are you listening?

- Yeah.

You think she's pretty?

Yeah.

Prettier than me?

No.

Apparently you're 14.

She's old and still has it.

Who knows where you'll end up.

You're not that nice, you know?

How the f*** can you be 14?

Are these the baptism records?

No. Um...

Your father's uncle,

he told us that this is where

your father was baptized,

and this church

was built in 1887,

so I'm looking for

a church built in 1887.

Here.

I found it.

They're making a copy

of all the records from 1944.

Good.

Yeah.

What a way to go.

It's not the worst way to die.

What's the worst way to die then?

I think it's sharks.

You're afraid of sharks?

Yeah, they eat you.

Imagine to be an animal

that can get eaten.

Must be so scary.

Animals aren't aware of death.

That's what separates us

from them.

And the thumbs.

And marriage.

Yeah.

Animals just f***.

Don't look at me like that.

Thank you, Father.

He's not your father.

- We need a computer.

- What?

We need a computer.

All right, um...

There's one in my hotel room.

That could work.

What happened to your computer?

Pissed me off.

Look.

Come.

Look.

Okay.

Your father was baptized

Daniel Vinter.

Mother, Marie Rasmussen,

and father Thomas Vinter.

Born January 15, 1944.

Was your grandmother's name Marie?

Yeah.

Okay, that means that

your grandfather's name...

was Thomas, right?

Right.

Okay. And look.

Thomas Vinter is still alive,

and he lives in Skagen.

So this is your grandfather.

You found your grandfather.

- Can we go there?

- Yeah.

It's in the other end

of the country,

but we can go there tomorrow,

and you can give him the letter.

Do you want to go and see

these places before?

What's that?

It's a mosquito bite.

- Activate!

- Don't!

Be serious.

Why the f*** is this

so important to you?

I don't have any pictures of my father.

I'm sorry.

I never wanted to see

what made my father smile.

I just wanted...

One time my father

took a picture,

and I crossed my arms

just like this.

He said, "I know what that means."

So what does it mean?

I was saying...

"I don't need you.

I can take care of myself."

I was crossing my heart or... whatever.

I need to tell you something.

I lied.

You're not 14.

I knew it!

Why the hell would you say

that you were?

No, I'm 14.

That's not it.

You made it itchy.

Stop it.

What did you lie about?

Stop scratching.

What did you lie about?

- Let me scratch it.

- Stop. Don't you...

Stop! What did you lie about?

What did you lie about?

Stop it!

What did you lie about?

Um, I lied about

what the letter said.

Why would you lie about that?

We had a nice day, didn't we?

The room's fine!

Will?

Jer?

- What the f***?

- Holy sh*t.

I have been looking for you

all day.

- What? Where's Jen?

- Sh*t's f***ed up.

- Well, now's not a good time.

- Wow, sorry.

I didn't know you had a...

- I need to be home soon anyway.

- No, don't go.

Will, please, can we talk alone?

It's fine.

No.

Let's go together.

Is there somewhere

we can all go?

I know a place nearby.

Summer holiday

On a summer holiday

On a summer holiday

On a summer holiday

Whoo!

She left me.

We flew to London,

and when we arrived...

What happened?

She changed her mind.

You flew to London and back?

We went to the hotel,

but you weren't there.

- I tried calling you.

- Where were you?

I was visiting family, which I

was supposed to do with you.

No, it was f***ing terrible.

You don't understand

what I went through.

When we got there...

I'll sing.

Don't be a dick to her.

Look, this is a good thing.

Just man the f*** up, get laid,

and you'll be fine.

Effy!

She gave me an ultimatum.

Either I leave you,

or she would leave me.

- But you hate ultimatums.

- I know.

But she said that you...

Did you read my letter?

That was the hardest letter

I ever wrote,

not that I even write

that many letters,

unless you include e-mail

in my scope of writing...

Nice note you wrote him.

That was private.

So how long

have you known William?

Since we were seven.

How old are you now?

You know how they say

all the greats die at 27?

No.

I'm 28.

Sorry about your girlfriend leaving.

I don't know how I came to this.

She told me I lost myself in her.

She needed space.

I wanna tell you a story.

It's about...

What's going on?

Telling him a story about Skagen.

It's in the north of the country

where the two oceans meet.

I heard of this place.

I went there once

with my mother.

She was sad

because her boyfriend left.

And I was sad because I had

a fight with my best friend.

So she brought me

to the end of the beach,

and then she pointed to the right

where the Baltic Sea is.

I knew that.

Yeah, from Risk.

So it's a very beautiful

and very blue sea.

The waves travel west.

Current.

What?

Current, not waves.

Waves...

Current travels west, not waves.

So the current travels west,

and she pointed to the left.
