Der Kommer En Dag Page #4

---

this is our secret.

And you know what?

Elmer, you are

a very, very special boy.

Come. Help me with this.

- You're happy to be here, right?

- I am happy to teach.

Miss Hammer found it hard

to adapt, but now it's better.

It's also a motley flock.

As long as there are good people like you,

we'll get those louts off the streets.

- Rags!

- Coming here.

More rags! Rags!

- Rags!

- Coming here, coming here.

- More! More!

- I'll call an ambulance.

The safety mechanism was turned off.

Aksel must have forgotten it, or

there was a fault on the machine.

Send him my warmest greetings.

Thank you for today, and Merry

Christmas to all of you. Despite all.

I just talked to the hospital.

They can not say anything about

how long he will be on sick leave.

And they don't yet know if

they can save his hand.

Haven't I said, I will

have rest when we eat?

A pity it did not happen

to his balls.

I said there shall be quiet.

Erik, come with me. There's a phone call.

Perhaps Aksel asks if

we've found the rest.

Shh!

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

- Hello? It's Erik.

- Hello, Erik. It is me.

Hi uncle. When are we going home?

Erik.

Hello?

Uncle, how's mother?

They couldn't save her, Erik.

They tried, but...

But they couldn't.

Erik, can you hear me? Erik

Say something, Erik.

- What is it, Erik?

- Quiet!

- It was Uncle.

- Shh!

- He says that mother is...

Be quiet and eat your food.

- That's not right!

- Be quiet.

- That's not right!

- Shh!

- Quiet!

- That's not right!

Sit down and eat your food!

That's not right!

You've filled your plates.

Then you eat it, too!

Eat, damn it!

Eat!

Eat! Eat!

Eat!

You heard what he said. Eat.

Thank you for today, good

night and sleep well!

Where is she now?

Erik?

I don't know, Elmer.

She's got to be somewhere.

You can't just disappear.

I'm sure she has come to heaven.

And if she is in heaven

she's well.

It's likely as with the

monkeys and the little dog.

- They died too.

- Yes.

But they were up there already.

So they just hovered upwards.

Maybe mom

already is at the moon now.

Perhaps heaven

is just around there.

So she soon sends for help.

- Hello.

- Hello.

I am the uncle of two

brothers who should be here.

It's a pleasure you came.

I'll get them.

Uncle!

Eventually they had to give her

something so she passed away.

They said it was

the best for her.

I have some cuttings

for you, Elmer.

- There are problems with Apollo 5.

- So we're not going home?

You'll be staying with me. I think

we can take over the apartment.

- When?

- I don't know.

Your mother wrote that

I'm to take care of you.

- I'm asking when?

- Some months. Maximum half a year.

Erik, it can not go faster.

It's because of bureaucrats in the system.

The Principal has written you're

best off staying here.

He claims you have caused trouble,

but I'll get it resolved.

- You've probably also found new friends.

- We must get away from here now!

If you will not help us,

we must do it yourself.

Of course I will help you.

Tell me what I shall do.

They would run away that night.

Uncle was on something illegal.

He wasn't afraid of sh*t.

The routine is important for the boys.

They don't need unexpected visit.

- I can see they are suffering.

- Their mother has just died.

Those boys are to go home

as soon as possible.

Excuse me, but home to what?

- Can you take care of two boys?

- That's none of your business.

Your main occupation is

being involved in the student

committee at the university.

- You will provide two boys with that?

- No, I might not.

Children are nothing one chooses

casually to make chaos.

Rather, it is a matter of taking

responsibility and making sure

they don't get into trouble,

that they don't lie and steal.

Wander on the rooftops. You have

to be there for them around the clock.

In the most important period of their

lives. Else it's not fair to them.

If their uncle could have done it,

he'd have brought them home then.

But it was their own idea

to wait until after sunset.

Their uncle would pick them up and hide

them until it was OK.

- Hi, Elmer.

- Hi.

- Aren't you coming in?

- Did I forget something?

No. You just have not been

here so much today. Sit down.

It's the music from a

film I read about.

I don't understand it

but it's written perfectly to imagine

how it is up in space.

- It's absolutely quiet up there.

- Well.

But if one thinks that

it's becoming too quiet.

- It was nice.

- No, perhaps a little...

Well, at least now

you know it's here.

If you want to hear it

again, you can just...

Thanks.

Elmer!

It'll be OK.

If one behaves properly, it will be

appreciated and come in return.

It'll take time, but your

uncle is doing everything he can.

So we have to trust that

they'll solve it. No?

The orphanage Gudbjerg,

it's Miss Hammershi.

- One moment. I just wanted to...

- Good evening. I'll get the boys.

- Wait. It's you I want to talk to.

- Well.

Yes.

I do love the boys.

They have always had a vivid

imagination. Especially Elmer.

It's hard to find out if what

they say is right or wrong.

I don't know. But I think you

need to talk to them again.

If you come up here,

you can find out.

Tell them that I'm sorry.

- But I can't keep my promise.

- What do you mean?

Hello? What is it you

have promised the boys?

The children are in bed,

and the light is off.

I'll give Erik and

Elmer a short message.

- The light has been turned off.

- It is important.

- What is it about?

- May I give them a brief message?

If your message is so important that

it can't wait until tomorrow

then it is your duty

to tell me about it now.

Don't get angry.

It's not the children's fault.

They've just l...

lost their mother.

I've become aware of their

situation, so I will not be angry.

Miss Hammershi, what I do, I

always do for the children's sake.

Sit.

Get the doctor to come tomorrow

so they can come under treatment.

You can't keep us here forever.

When our uncle get's us home,

we tell the police everything.

But Erik, your uncle

will not have you home.

It was him who told us

that you would run away.

- Let me talk to them.

- That's not suitable.

- You're lying like hell!

- I never lie.

For the sake of you and your brother,

he agrees, it's best you stay here.

If you don't believe me,

ask Miss Hammershi.

It was she who

received his call.

Come here. Stop.

Come here! Come here.

Come here! Come here!

Down in the basement with him.

- Relax!

Your uncle was very upset.

He loves you dearly, but he...

He doesn't feel he's good

enough to take care of you yet.

I'm sure he'll come and

visit you as soon as he...

I had to tell. There wasn't

anyone to help you out there.

- You're like the others.

- No. Elmer

I'm glad you never had children.

It was good it went amiss!

Fine, the child should never

be allowed to meet you!

Sorry. Sorry.

Elmer. Elmer.

Elmers guardian angel left

Gudbjerg early next morning.
