Der Kommer En Dag Page #6

In additon to the other injuries,

he must off to the hospital.

- That's not an option.

- He doesn't eat or drink.

Then you must force it in him.

Go on! Do something!

The boy's one of the strongest I've had.

You must get life in him!

There's nothing more I can do.

If it happens that he...

then it's because what

higher powers wishes.

Not we.

Yes?

Just put the mail on the table.

I will not be bored with

questions about your brother.

Go on with your duties.

Had he been more like you,

he wouldn't be sick right now.

I would ask the Principal

for a day's leave.

Leave for what? You have no one

you can visit, little Elmer.

The Principal once said,

perhaps I may be a postman.

That's something I'd like to see.

Postman is not a

proper craftsmanship.

There's so much else you

could get much more use for.

Mrs. Oskarson. See to that Elmer

gets a return ticket to Copenhagen.

Yes.

But you have to be

home before bedtime.

And after all it's better than

your astronaut dream.

Have this for an ice cream.

- Take care of yourself out there.

- Thank you.

Lillian Hammershi.

Elmer?

Elmer?

How nice you look.

I don't teach kids anymore.

I haven't done that since...

Now I teach other teachers

at the teacher's college.

On the good days, I think I

do things a little better.

Where was it you wanted

me to drive you?

Are you visiting someone in here?

Elmer, what is it?

Stay over there.

Excuse me, I want to talk

to Inspector Hartmann.

- Do you have an appointment?

- No.

The inspector is on inspection,

but you're welcome to wait.

Thank you.

Here.

- He's been waiting for hours.

- The inspector is on inspection.

- I don't know when he returns.

- You must get in contact with him.

This is vitally important.

I hear what you say.

But Hartmann won't be back today.

Elmers brother is seriously ill.

He asks you to do something now.

I'll file a report.

- We have a departmental meeting next week.

- Next week?

I'm sure Gudbjerg takes good care

of serious illness.

There's nothing to criticise it for.

No complaints from pupils and teachers.

- It surely is.

- And above all, no evidence.

Do you have any evidence, boy?

No, of course not,

but he tells us...

We can't believe in everything.

I shall pass on a report.

They are either employed or relative.

Your behavior is inappropriate.

Inappropriate? We've been waiting

six hours for inspector Hartmann.

- At least you could call him.

- There is nothing more to say.

But they said they would hurry.

The secretary will contact the inspector.

They're doing all they can.

If not, I'll go back there again tomorrow.

I promise.

Elmer, you must not give up.

I know what I shall do now.

What do you mean?

Well?

Elmer, what?

What happened in Copenhagen?

So we must do something ourselves.

We must get Erik to the hospital.

Only teacher Aksel is here.

The rest celebrate some rubbish the

Principal got from the king.

We can get him back on the bicycle

and drive him to the hospital.

It's 25 km.

They will find us before we get there.

Meet me in the yard soon.

I'll take care of teacher Aksel.

Elmer!

Elmer, what are you doing here?

I thought the teacher would like a visit

from me before the others are back.

Well. That was...

That was thoughtful of you.

But you know what?

I don't want your company.

You have become a sad look.

Big and dirty.

If I wash myself first.

I see.

Yes, so...

So never mind then. But hurry.

Hello, Elmer. Elmer?

Elmer? Elmer!

We celebrate Gudbjerg and

not a single person.

I'm just a tool.

We are just tools in

a larger context

where it's all about doing

the right thing for the boys.

We can sometimes get

to do things that

doesn't feel right.

Things that work.

We must stay focused on the

bigger picture and the fact

the boys later in life will

appreciate our modest efforts.

And then there's one person

who still needs to be acknowledged.

- You just said...

- No rules without exceptions.

Without this person Gudbjerg

would not be the same.

Without this person's loyalty and

unrelenting hard work with the boys

none of us would be

able to do our work.

Mrs. Oskarson, thank you

for your always good humour

and your indomitable

love for the boys.

It didn't go well in Copenhagen.

But now I know how they

will believe me.

Then they take you away from

here and get you healthy again.

I'm not afraid anymore, Erik.

Don't be sorry if I'm not

there when you wake up.

I've just left in advance.

Just like mother.

The astronauts didn't know

what was there before they got there.

And think what that meant.

What the hell are you doing?

Take that sh*t off!

Go and get the principal.

Have you gone crazy?

He will kill you.

Go and get him. Now!

Long live!

Elmer! Elmer!

In two rows!

In two rows!

Stop that music.

Have you become

completely crazy, kid?

- There is a phone call for the principal.

- Not now!

It's Andersen.

Frederick, it's best if you go

in and listen to what he has to say.

- Hello?

- Is it Heck?

- Andersen from the Directorate.

- Call another time.

One of your boys has

complained today.

Call another time.

He had clubfoot. He came

with a former teacher.

If you are a smart little

cripple, you'll be lying still.

Stop! Stop, dammit.

I am aware of what

you're up to now.

I'll see to it you're all so clean and nice

when they come, it will not succeed.

You two clean up.

Get him in and get him patched

so it can't be seen. Now.

After him.

After him!

Stop, Elmer.

Get down from there!

Elmer.

Elmer!

Come here.

Give me your hand.

Give me your hand!

Elmer

Go to bed!

There is no more to see!

You have nothing to do here.

Get in the car and get lost.

We don't drive away before

we have spoken to Elmer.

What has she made you believe?

Elmer is probably being put to bed.

- You shall not interrupt that.

- Elmer! Come here!

Elmer, come here!

Elmer!

- Elmer!

- Come on down!

Elmer, come here with your hand!

Elmer, no!

The oldest gets fluids intravenously.

He will be weak for a

while, but he'll manage.

Thanks. And...

He must be made of something special.

Concussion and broken collarbone.

- But fly, he can not.

- No.

You may go in to them. They will

probably want to see their mother.

I'm not their mother.

Their mother is sadly...

- Pardon.

- I am just...

You must have wondered

when the boys got injured?

I'm just a doctor.

I was told that everything was in order.

- I can not examine my employees.

- Take it calm and easy.

Be happy if you

have a job when you return.

Hello, Elmer.

What can we help you with?

- I would like to ask for our note.

- Your note?

Our eternity note.

For me and my brother.

You have to understand

it was for your own good.

You're going to look back

on this with gratitude.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Elmer?

Say you understand what I'm saying.

It's important.

Come, Elmer. Now we're going home.

Elmer, Elmer

Elmer, you hear what I'm saying?
