EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE

Hi.

- Hi.

- You were home late last night.

- What?

- What?

What?

Do you know what this is?

- A picture?

- Come on, what do you think?

It's our little son.

His name is Serge.

Hi. Your name's Serge?

Yes, his name's Serge.

- What if he doesn't like us?

- He will.

Don't you think?

- Are you crying? Don't cry.

- I'm not.

I'm just happy.

As soon as we get the final papers,

we can go and get him.

Are you okay?

Tell me.

Hakon needs the script by Friday,

or he'll throw a fit.

You'll finish it in time.

Write one of the stories that hurt.

I know you can.

What the hell is the story?

We're going to make a movie,

we're going to make a movie...

... a movie about a war.

- Hi.

- What are you doing?

- Shouldn't you be in class?

- In an hour.

- Can I come in?

- Sure.

- You look beautiful.

- Thanks.

This is not happening!

- Pretend we're not here.

- He's still there.

- We don't open until 11.

- Are you Ali?

- Yes, I'm Ali.

- Niels Finsen.

- Military Intelligence.

- Hello.

- Can I talk to you for a moment?

- Sure. Come into the kitchen.

Thanks.

- Coffee?

- Please.

Have a seat.

You've given up your studies?

- Just this semester.

- Okay.

- To be a plumber?

- Yeah, well... My dad worked here.

It's a good idea to get away from

the books and get a taste of real life.

That's why I'm here.

We know you from your time

as a conscript and got interested -

- when we heard

you were studying Persian.

- You speak Farsi?

- Yes. And Arabic.

- You're a Muslim?

- Yes.

Could you be a little more specific?

We'd like you to sign up again.

As an interpreter.

Six months

of active duty to begin with.

You'd make an ideal

language officer.

That means I'm going to war? When?

Whenever you can. Now, preferably.

But just as an interpreter.

We'll protect you.

We need people

with your skills right now.

Think it over a day or two,

and I'll get back in touch.

- Have a good day.

- I'll be in touch, Ali. Thanks.

- Did you hear that?

- Yes.

I was just headhunted.

It will be fine.

Here are the pictures from Thomas.

They look good.

- Hi, Hakon.

- Hi, Jacob.

- And the script is...

- What?

You'll have it finished by Friday?

Stop it.

I need to know one thing.

I need to hear you say

you're with me on this.

- What?

- It's just a movie, Jacob.

No! If it were just a movie,

it would all be rather pointless.

Don't you think?

- Don't start tripping on me again.

- Tripping on you?

- I'm just saying...

- How do you mean, tripping?

- What do you mean by that?

- If you don't know, it doesn't matter.

- So now it doesn't matter?

- No... Let's just...

You want to talk about this, or what?

I want us to run through

the final locations tomorrow.

- Sure. We have a deal.

- We have a deal, yes.

See you tomorrow.

Hakon. Hey!

Hey... hey!

Are you okay?

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Damn it!

Come here.

Can you hear me?

I'm going to get help.

I will get some help.

I will get some help.

I'll be right back. I just need to...

Get my bag.

Get my bag out of here!

I'll get you out of here.

Damn it!

I want to report that a man's been

run over on Holmbrovej in Ramlose.

It doesn't look good. Hurry.

- Helena, we're going back to town.

- What?

- We're going back to town.

- What's up?

What's going on?

Hey, what the hell is going on?

- What's going on?

- I just need to go to town.

- Why?

- I've got early meetings tomorrow.

- Did you have a good day?

- Probably not as exciting as yours.

I've been packing for you

and for me and for Serge.

- This is crazy. You're miles away.

- I'm not.

- What's wrong?

- Everything's fine.

- You're keeping something from me.

- Everything's fine.

- Did you have a good day?

- What?

- Tell me about it.

- I'm looking forward to the adoption.

- So am I.

- You're sure you've got time for that?

Did you pick up the adoption papers

at the State Administration Office?

- They're coming tomorrow.

- Promise me to take care of it?

- I promise.

- Good.

Hold me.

You do know

you're the woman of my dreams?

So what happens to me

when you wake up?

Hey there, beautiful. We're here.

Where are we?

- At the hotel.

- Okay.

Will you wait for me?

What do you think?

What are you doing in there?

- What the hell are you doing?

- I'll be right out.

Come on.

In here.

We're going to do it in here.

Wait here, and we'll be right in.

- We're renovating. Sorry.

- What's going on?

I've been traveling for 48 hours,

and I want to go home.

Please sit down.

This is a confidentiality agreement -

- and the doctor's certificate stating

you were sent home due to illness.

You are not allowed to breathe a word

about your stay at the Danish camp.

The sentence for leaking

secrets of state is up to 12 years.

- I'm not ill.

- You hurt your shoulder.

And your work at the camp

has made you mentally unstable.

It's perfectly normal.

Sign here and here.

And then you get to go home.

Now we'd like to take a look

at your bag.

- What's this?

- My diary.

Anything documenting your stay

at the camp is to be handed over to us.

Well, except these tourist snaps.

It looks like you had fun.

- Anything else?

- No.

Stand up, please.

Empty your pockets, please.

Welcome home.

Everything will be fine.

I promise.

- Hi. Is Siri Falk in her office?

- She just walked by here.

- Hi, Siri.

- Hi, Jacob.

- Do you have a moment?

- Sure. How are you?

Long time no see, little brother.

- Have you got a couple of minutes?

- Sure.

- Anything wrong?

- I've got something to show you.

- Promise me not to tell a soul.

- Sure.

- Do we have a deal?

- Sure.

- Do we?

- God, you're annoying.

Yes, we have a deal.

Can I touch it?

Let's go up here

where we can be alone.

- Can I open it now?

- Yes, go ahead.

What is this?

Danish soldiers?

Where did you get these?

- I found them near the cottage.

- How did you find them?

- It's a long story.

- And a very important one.

What consequences could they have?

Jacob, do you live in the real world,

or are you completely self-absorbed?

- What?

- Do you read the newspapers?

With the election coming up,

if these photos were to come out...

Photos of Danish soldiers committing

atrocities. I can't look at them.

Good.

Good?

Whose are they?

Where did you get them?

- I just came by them.

- Christ, where did you get them?

- I'm trying to help get them out.

- Help who?

- Are you in trouble?

- No! I'm trying to do something.

- This is too dangerous.

- What do you mean?

I bet others would like to get

their hands on these photos.

I'll give them to the news staff,

and they'll look into it.

No, I found them.

Are you trying to take them?

Stop it!

You come asking me for help at work,

and then you behave like that!

- I found them, I'll handle it.

- Great, bye. You go handle it.

I know this reporter Michael.
