Fuck Up Page #2

Synopsis: Jack is pleased with himself. He has just decided to stop screwing anything with a pulse and cut back on his enthusiastic drug use. That same night his best friend Glenn crashes into a moose on the Swedish border doing his last heist. Glenn is found by the police with a hoof buried in his forehead and 3,8 kilos of cocaine in the trunk. Over the next 24 hours, Jack loses his house, his job, his girlfriend leaves him with their daughter and someone tries to kill him. He is now struggling to save the lives of the very few people who love him, including his daughter. And as he is about to find out: when you think you have hit rock bottom, it can always get worse.

But tomorrow... tomorrow I'm a hero.

You're with a hero. I'll get my license

tomorrow and get a uniform.

I'm sorry.

Sorry for not calling.

- I can't take it anymore.

- I should've told you about the money.

Come here, darling. Come.

You can sleep in my bed, if you

want to. Daddy's sleeping downstairs.

Come on.

That money will be back on the

account tomorrow. You get it?

- Good night.

- Come here, darling.

Hi, it's Glenn.

Leave a message after...

Hi, it's Glenn.

Leave a message after...

- Jack Heine, is that you?

- Jack, that is me. It's me.

I'm Malene Brosted,

I'm your supervisor.

- Are you done with the medical?

- Six weeks ago.

When you're done

with your posing, we'll take off.

Normally I'd be

embarrassed but not today.

Ok, Jack, this will be alright.

No speed monologues -

- and no teeth grinding.

Jack.

- I'm just saying I've had a bad day.

- Get going, we'll take it from there.

- What is that?

- Those are leaves.

We can't go very far. We're the

only ambulance in this area now.

Slow down a bit now.

I can't sleep with my girlfriend.

Just want to sleep with everyone else,

not you. Well, you too, of course.

The point is, you can't talk about it.

Men are supposed to always perform.

I've made her so boring, you know.

She's not really that boring.

I wasn't supposed to live

in a townhouse. It's like a swamp.

I spent 12.000 on gravel last week.

This is different. Now I'm a hero.

- Watch out for that woman up there.

- Yeah, yeah.

I used to fight all the time. I hit a guy

with a glass, right in his face.

He lost his eye, that was when I quit.

This is something totally different.

- Do you like guinea pigs?

- I have never really thought about it.

Central calling 217.

-217 responding.

- An accident on the highway.

On the border,

the police are present.

One person with severe injuries

Condition is stable.

- Can't any of the other cars do it?

- None of them are available.

- Ok, then we'll take it.

- Ok, thanks.

Did you get it? This is your

first emergency call. Step on it.

- We're going to the border to Sweden.

- That's alright.

We'll need a neck brace

and a stretcher.

- God damn it, Glenn!

- Do you hear what I'm saying?

A neck brace and a stretcher.

Here we are.

Can you hear me?

Do you hear me? If you do,

squeeze my hand as hard as you can.

I'll report that we're coming in.

His pulse is low..

Glenn, can you hear me?

Glenn, it will be alright.

Glenn? Is there something

you need to lose?

- Do you know him?

- Halden is a small town, you know.

Jack?

I tried.

You just stay right here.

Thanks for last night.

- How was the exam?

- What are you doing here?

I found a nice car last night but forgot

how comfortable the seats are.

He's got half a pharmacy in him.

Do you know him?

Halden is a small town.

Don't be shy. We're all friends here.

I had an amazing dream last night.

I dreamt that I hate polar explorer

Barge Ousland. I despise people -

- who think

they need to go to Antarctica.

It's a walk in the park. First one

across, first one with a leg missing...

You know what, I woke up with

the goal of being the first one -

- going to Antarctica while drunk.

- Think about it.

- Rasmussen, we have a problem.

Can I talk to you?

No, no, you're staying here.

- Can we take it later?

- Glenn did not buy a new car.

- Drop by him later and then call me.

- Yes, alright.

- Do you want to watch?

- Yes, I'd really like that.

Hi, Robin. Before you go to work,

we have a problem with Glenn.

I'm not going to work, that's my dad.

I went down to him this morning,

and he was laying on the floor.

I should have gone

down there yesterday.

Tell me if you need help.

I'll call you later.

Jack, I want to talk to you.

- Do you think I'm stupid, or what?

- What?

Who do you think you are

and what crappy speed are you on?

I tell you, you get one more chance.

Don't pull sh*t like that again, right?

- Do you understand?

- Yes. I didn't sleep well last night.

Good luck with that.

- You can't keep up with this.

- Glenn drove the car into a tree.

- The old car, let me tell you.

- A cop is stationed by his room.

- That's not for hitting a moose.

- He didn't get the job done!

I've lost my money!

When they go through his finances,

they'll see where it's coming from.

I really don't want to know. I've spent

my whole life getting away from this.

While you were guzzling down six

packs of beer, I spent eight years -

- studying and I refuse to let you

ruin this. Do you get that?

- The truth is that we couldn't know.

- They'll hardly believe us.

Some of us are burdened

by a hardly reliable past.

You have a consultation in room 305.

Hi, Jack.

Thanks, Line.

We're all a bit fragile now.

At best...

...this isn't all that bad.

We do have a tiny problem.

I have 20 grams of speed at his house.

They'll do a search there.

What the hell are you saying?

- The police can't tell that it's yours.

- It's in a package with my name on it.

I only had a letter from IRS at hand

and thought I'd make some use of it.

- Can you go and get it?

- Can you go and get it?

I need to go to an interrogation in

half an hour for that thing last night.

- It's not easy being your friend.

- I can go down to the station and...

No, no, no, Rasmussen. Listen to me.

We'll wait until Glenn is conscious.

The easiest thing is just to ask him.

- What?

- I'm not going, they won't let him in.

- What? Me? No!

- Yes, you. Yes!

Yes, alright then. I'll do it.

- What's that?

- These are leaves.

Robin?

- Is your dad alright?

- Suffering a stroke can go either way.

- They're working on him now.

- It will be alright. He's a strong man.

- Oh, well. Get going now.

- Ok.

Robin's dad had always wanted a boy.

So she was determined to be -

- Kevin Keegan or Luke McCahan.

After her mother ran away, Robin did

anything to keep it all together.

This lead to her building up anger

that had unfortunate consequences.

A social gene she got from her father.

He thought celebrating Constitution

Day was best over the radio.

You and me, Robin.

Only you and me.

Intensive care, please.

- Wait here. He'll be with you soon.

- Good. I need to get to work.

- God damn it, Rasmussen.

- Sorry...

Glenn Stenberg?

- Is that a friend of yours?

- No.

I just happen to know who he is.

You know, Halden is a small town.

I brought some fresh pastry.

Just help yourself.

- That was a nice drawing.

- It's the tallest mountain in the world.

- Have you transferred the money?

- Yes.

It'll be a day

until they're posted.

You're so good at drawing.

A lot better than mom.

Jack! Jack...

- My god.

- My god...

What?

It's just a bloody...

...motherfucking...

...god-damned flower pot!

They called from Dickens. Your credit

card is still there since last night.

Jack.

Have I ever tried to tie you down?

Or tried to control you?

You get to do exactly what you want.

It's just not working,

living parallel lives.
