Der Kommer En Dag Page #3

I've written.

You haven't written this, Elmer.

One shall behave properly.

One mustn't lie.

One shalln't steal.

Where did you copy it from?

Elmer, where did you copy it from?

Fine. Then read it. If you don't want

to answer, then read it to the class.

Read, please.

Elmer to logbook. Day 23.

The training goes well.

I have read that you can get

seasick by walking on the moon

so it is good that the pee pills

train me to be dizzy.

Shh!

It doesn't hurt so much

anymore when they beat me.

But I miss my spacesuit. I

wonder how it is up there.

When the feet leave the

ground, and you just float.

Ghosts also float of course,

but I will not be a ghost.

It's not the same.

I'll toss it out.

That's fine.

But you'll write the words five no, ten

times on the blackboard. Understand?

It was Elmers luck that

Miss Hammershi saw him.

She had pushed through that

he was finished with pee pills.

And because he was good at reading,

she could use him as a mail boy.

That was the end of the peeing.

During test, cabin pressure got so high

the cabin windows were shattered.

Therefore informs space research insti...

- Insti...

- Institute.

Institute NASA, that Apollo 5 will

be delayed at least a month.

- It's fortunately only a month.

- Read something else than astronaut nonsense.

What else is there?

Negros' life has improved.

But it's not so well

for the Vietnamese.

So there are a lot about Christmas

presents. But I know what I want.

Such a telescope costs

a lot of money.

- What do your children wish?

- I don't have children.

Why not?

I teach children.

Now you have moved the pile.

- I just sorted them.

- Sorry.

It just shouldn't be like that.

I was close to someone a few

years ago, and then...

then something went wrong.

Then I got more time to teach.

And it's also good, right?

So. Now get out and deliver the letters.

Teachers first, the students last.

Maybe you just have to pay

attention to the top.

Also remember the others!

Dear Elmer and Erik.

I am still hospitalized and

sleep much of the time.

Treatment is soon over, and

I feel much better now.

Today I took a walk around with your uncle.

He takes good care of the binoculars.

And the doctor says I can

come home for Christmas.

- I look forward to hearing...

- Elmer. you've read it three times.

- How many days are left?

- 17.

Tger? What shall you do for Christmas?

The same as last year.

It's a tradition.

Hello, my boy.

Soon it's Christmas.

I've regrettably been sent

abroad by the company again.

I promise it will be the last time,

and mail you your gift in time.

All the best from your father.

At Christmas he's unconscious of drinking.

Unless he's locked up for burglary.

He could have written a few

words about my sister.

- Maybe he didn't have time.

- Maybe he didn't give a sh*t.

Wait! There's something more.

PS. Your sister is well.

- This morning she told of a dream.

- Shut up with that sh*t.

We were all on our way into

space with the Apollo 5.

Everywhere we could see stars.

- We landed on an unknown planet.

- Stop. Give me the letter.

You and your sister jumped

around like rubber balls

and tried to catch the fireballs,

which buzzed in our hands.

Afterwards you used them as lamps so you

could find your way back to the rocket.

Your sister became tired.

But you took her on your shoulders

and carried her all the way back.

While she laughed

and messed with your hair.

We look forward to seeing you.

But she the most.

Many greetings from your father.

Will you read mine?

It wasn't long before everyone

found out what Elmer was capable of.

Most could chop through the text,

but preferred that Elmer did it.

We heard about the moon. Far out

planets with strange names.

And I think he enjoyed

it as much as us.

He read about zero gravity

and space suits.

And fights against slimy monsters

you had to defeat on the way.

For the first time we felt we

were part of something bigger.

Something outside of Gudbjerg.

Something not to be forgotten.

Just as one should not forget

one had better be a ghost.

Elmer.

Elmer, you must wake up.

Elmer, come.

- You must wake up.

- No. Wait.

- I'll come along.

- What are you thinking?

Little pig!

Lay down, damn it!

Ugh, damn it!

Now come. Come.

You shall only read something for me.

Yes.

Elmer.

I like you.

I really like you.

But if you don't do

what I say so...

then your brother will suffer.

Elmer, stop it.

Elmer, stop it!

Leave!

Leave!

I found the post boy in the laundry room.

It was a horrible sight.

The boys tried first aid on him.

I don't know what went on.

We must find out.

He's been assaulted, violated.

It happens from time to time.

The boys have a bad background.

They are in puberty and

they are experimenting.

This wasn't an experiment.

He can barely walk.

He has been held and

we can't rule out that he

put himself up to it.

There have been problems

with his big brother?

- It is not unthinkable.

- It may be the boy's own fault?

He won't say anything,

so much looks like that.

- I'll drive him to the hospital.

- I've examined him.

It is not so bad with him.

He will become healthy again.

This must never

never happen again.

Toft Lassen, you are responsible

for keeping an eye on the boys.

- They have not done well enough.

- I don't have the night shift.

Then you must sit there every night

until the boys have gotten the message.

On to next point.

The state supervision has announced

that they are coming for inspection.

- But

- What do you want me to do?

The boy won't say anything.

Should we force it out of him?

Should we take him to the

hospital and start rumors?

I wish it was different.

We must ensure it doesn't happen again.

The state supervision comes and must

see Gudbjerg at its best.

It's important that you

tell what has happened.

If you don't tell it,

I can't help you.

Elmer.

Whoever has done it

must be punished.

It's not okay to

do such a thing.

- We're done now. May we go?

- Elmer. Hear what I'm saying to you.

If the boy is not being

punished, he can do it again.

Do you understand? It's

your duty to say who it was.

- Otherwise, it'll affect...

- It wasn't one of the boys.

Erik?

For the annual inspection Elmer

was almost normal to look at again.

Mrs. Oskarson will put

make-up on the bruises.

Stand straight, boys.

In honor of the occasion

we got Sunday clothes on.

- Your visits are too rare.

- Yes. It looks fine.

Not that the inspector noticed

how we were dressed.

Lunch is ready and warm. You

can get the big tour afterwards.

But it didn't matter.

Erik and Elmer had

only a few days left.

It was almost as good as

if you yourself should leave.

- Appreciating to be here, boy?

- Oh, yes. It's so much fun.

Nice to hear.

Yes, let's move on.

So, boys.

Sweep up the shavings.

I'll help you, Elmer.

Thank you. By the way...

Look.

It is for you. Here.

Just take it.

And remember
