- North Sea?

- Yeah.

Also a very beautiful blue sea,

but the current travels east.

And then she pointed

to the middle,

and she said that...

that is the perfect relationship.

You can look to the left,

and you can look to the right,

and both seas are there,

and they can meet in the middle,

but they never lose themselves

in each other.

They're always themselves

no matter what.

That's beautiful.

It's better than what he said.

What did he say?

To go out and get laid.

That's terrible advice.

- Shark bite!

- What are you doing?

It's a shark bite.

You're afraid of sharks.

Dude, you gave her a shark bite.

Where are you going?

Are you gonna

read me the letter?

- No.

- The mermaid.

We have to go.

We need to see

what made him smile.

I thought you didn't care.

Please.

I'd like to go.

It's getting dark.

We have to hurry.

But we need another one.

Yeah.

So find another one.

What about that one?

That's somebody's.

They can't do that.

If they're not using it,

they should put it back.

Yeah, but if you take it,

you're stealing their money.

We don't need the money.

We need the bike, right?

You gonna steal it?

Yeah, I'm stealing it.

You can't steal something

that's free.

Like love.

We're going this way, so you

can just catch up with us.

Okay.

Walking, walking...

Hey!

- Hey!

- Go!

- No.

- Go!

Sorry. Sorry.

We're Americans. Sorry.

He's going for

the Tour de France, man.

I mean, look,

it's the same as the States.

It's just good to remember it,

that's all.

- We're almost there.

- All right.

Do you think there's

gonna be somewhere to buy

like some snacks

or anything like that?

It's here!

Where?

- What happened?

- Sh*t.

F***ing great.

I just need a second

for my eyes to adjust.

- Nobody move.

- What now?

I think we should go back

to the lighted area.

Maybe our eyes will adjust

in a couple seconds,

then we can catch a glimpse.

No, I think we should go back

to where the light is.

There's no one here,

and it's dark,

and my eyes are not adjusted.

It's okay. It's working.

My eyes...

I'm starting to see things.

Relax, all right?

Can I have one, too?

What, you're allowed

to smoke now?

Yes.

Here.

Yeah.

Here, have your own.

If this was a war,

you'd be dead.

Why do you say that?

Third light.

Everyone knows that.

Triangulation.

Come on, Jer.

Jesus Christ.

- Say cheese.

- What?

- Damn!

- Jesus Christ.

I saw the mermaid

when the flash went off!

Do it again.

There! There!

She's right there!

- Let's get closer.

- I didn't see it.

Go again.

It's so small.

I need to do the pose.

No. Don't go down on the rocks

when it's dark.

F***!

- William?

- Will, man, you okay?

F*** you!

What did we do?

He's talking to his dad.

Let's try again.

Effy, come here.

What are you doing?

Trust me.

You went to all

these places today?

Yeah, and we found

his grandfather in Skagen.

You found your family?

I did.

My dad's dad.

He's alive.

Done.

I heard Culture Box is good.

We should go there.

Yeah, my friend's older brother,

he works there,

so we don't have to show ID.

How old are you?

I'm 14.

Seriously?

15 soon.

Okay.

You've been hanging out all day

with a 14-year-old?

Use your common sense.

H-He's that stranger

you're not supposed to talk to.

- He's dangerous.

- All right, man, relax.

It's not what you think,

all right?

Nothing's happened.

I walked in on you, okay?

- Don't lie to me again.

- What's going on?

I'm not lying.

She is 14 years old.

Jer. Jer! Jer!

You know, every time I think

you've hit rock bottom,

you find a lower level!

You know, it's not enough that you

destroy every f***ing thing you touch.

- Now you're a pedophile.

- A pedophile?

You don't know

what you're talking about.

You're a f***ing locust.

Stop scaring her.

Scaring her?

You're an a**hole, okay?

Nobody likes you.

You connect with teenagers.

Who the f*** are you to talk?

Did you leave your best friend

for some b*tch

just 'cause you get some

for the first time in years?

You tried to f*** Jen.

What?

Why would she lie to me?

Just tell me the truth.

Is that what she told you?

F*** you, man.

Yeah, that's right.

Walk away.

Get off me!

I'll f***ing DDT you, man!

I swear it, I will!

Stop it!

Stop it, man! Stop!

Listen to me.

I didn't try anything, all right?

I tested her because I don't trust her.

That's all.

I don't believe you.

Where the f***

you going, man?

Where is she?

Where is she?

Effy?

Jeremy, you don't know

where you're going!

Hey!

Hi. It's me.

It sounded like your voice,

so I guess it's you.

Thanks for the help.

Yeah. I'm done with visiting

my grandfather, but, um...

I don't know why you left.

We should go to Culture Box,

get a proper goodbye,

that's all.

Call me back.

Wait. Never mind.

Yeah, okay, um...

Have a good one, I guess.

Life.

By one, I meant life.

Have a good life.

I just...

It's me again.

I just wanted you to know

that I didn't mean that

in a snarky, f*** off,

have-a-good-life way.

I meant it genuinely.

Seriously.

Have a good life.

Hey, hey.

My God! You came!

I'm so happy you came!

What happened to Berlin?

Where?

You said you were going to Berlin.

You wanna do shots?

Yeah.

All right.

Your go. Your go.

I...

I have to go.

I think I'm in love.

- Hey.

- Hey.

You came.

Yeah.

- Did you get my message?

- Yeah.

I just wanted to give you this.

It's important that you

give it to your grandfather.

Are you gonna tell me

what it says?

Where's Jeremy?

I don't care.

Why did he say all that stuff

about you?

Let's get out of here.

We can stay.

What was that all about?

I told him

that you're my boyfriend.

I think I'm in love with you.

It was just to get rid of him.

- Cheers.

- Skoal!

Skoal!

You're supposed to slam it.

I don't want to slam it.

It's too strong like that.

Come on.

Whoo!

Are you going to visit Thomas

Vinter in Skagen tomorrow?

Only...

Only if you come with me.

Are you trying to get me drunk?

What? No, no, no.

No, that's not it.

You're trying to get yourself drunk.

- Shark bite!

- That hurt!

Look, I'm sorry about

the shark bite, all right?

I know it's primitive,

but it's a sign of affection.

Teenagers do sh*t like that

all the time.

I don't like teenagers.

Good point. All right.

Get me back.

You can get me back. Come on.

Okay.

Block!

You told me I could do it!

I'm not just gonna let you do it.

Watch out!

What...

Let's do it for real.

Close your eyes.

- What?

- Close your eyes.

Come on, it's fair.

Shark slap.

- Shark slap? What the f***?

- Shark punch!

What are you doing?

Stop it!

Let's dance.

Close your eyes.

Promise you're not

gonna slap me?

I promise.

Shark kiss.

You trying to get me in trouble?

I promise you won't get in trouble.

Let's get some more to drink.

You buy the drinks.

I gotta take a piss.

Excuse me?

American?

Yeah. Yes, I am.

Make sure you don't

piss on your leg.

Hey! Where'd you go?
