Fuck Up Page #3

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.

Do you understand? You make me feel

lonely, though I'm together with you.

Do you get that?

I feel pretty lonely too.

Remember that we're having dinner

with my parents tonight.

- Did you get your ambulance license?

- Yes.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

Damn it!

- What?

- It's so beautiful.

Not beautiful... but small.

Reminds me of

when things were a bit easier.

- I think we're doing fine now.

- Yes.

Alright. Hear this.

He had 3.8 kilos of coke

in the trunk of his car.

- That's pretty much.

- What did he get for our money?

question is:
Who paid for the rest?

Not Glenn. He's definitely

not got that much money.

- How much do you think?

- I don't know... no one in this town.

His car's at the impound. The cops are

waiting to see if someone picks it up.

The guys paying for it don't calculate

what they paid for the drugs, -

- but what it's worth on the street.

So, someone's lost about 2.5 million.

- That's not possible.

- It is.

I don't know sh*t.

When I was at his house

he was so paranoid that he had -

- loaded guns all over

and a cell phone behind the toilet.

- Where are you going?

- Up to Glenn's to get that envelope.

Of course. I need to go to the hospital

for a check-up, after last night.

The doctor sees me

as a sort of an experiment.

- Should I tell Robin?

- Yes, she'll be very pleased.

Alright. No? Yes or no?

- No!

- Ok. Just checking.

Hi, Rasmussen.

Where should I start to look?

Check out the drawer

beneath the moose.

There is no warning but you know

when it's finally gone too far.

You hear your own blood pounding

and you think:
If I survive this, -

- I'll become a good man.

Hello? Hello?

Hi... Jack.

Jack...

Where's the package?

And where is Glenn?

I don't know...

I was only getting...

I was only getting

something for someone.

- Help yourself.

- What?

Get what you're here for.

I don't know... I'm just here

to pick up something.

I don't want any trouble,

I'm not a part of this at all.

You can have it, I don't need it.

I'm sorry.

Jack, come here.

Come here. Glenn was going

to pick up a package.

For me. In that package there is

something that means a lot to me.

Now neither Glenn nor the package

is here. Unfortunately.

- But you are here.

- I don't know... I'm sorry.

You're a good looking guy, Jack.

Turn around. Just turn around.

The other way.

Where is the package

and where is Glenn?

Let us try again.

Oh, please.

Jack.

You're not going to be very pretty

for long if we keep up like this.

Buster! Come here, old man.

An old fighter. 13 years old now.

I never leave him alone.

You should never leave dogs alone.

Where is the package?

And where is Glenn?

I don't have anything. He crashed

with a moose and is in the hospital.

If you can't find what you're looking

for, then I don't know. It's not here.

This is... They towed

the car to the impound lot.

Perhaps it's all there?

It has to be there.

Well, then. Let's go!

Where are we going to?

Now that we're introduced

you may consider yourself a guide.

I'm at Busterudveien 121. I've been

robbed. I've been held at gun point.

Camilla.

Try not to speak. Try to get

some rest instead. Let's see...

Could you do me a favour? Can I

borrow your phone? Just a minute.

You'll have to ask the police

about that. Rest now.

- No one needs to know.

- Ask the police about that, Glenn.

Any problems here?

- Hi.

- Rasmussen.

Everything's gotten worse.

A lot worse.

Might be strange coming from me,

but maybe we should call the cops.

What would you tell them?

Your name is on the envelope -

- with 15 grams of Amphetamine in it.

Breaking in to a guy's apartment -

- who imported 4 kilos of cocaine.

We've run off from the police, -

- run over a guy and transferred

- I paid him in cash.

- You put your name on the envelope.

Chicken wings.

That's where the money is.

Put a sock in it.

- How's your hand doing?

- It's really pounding.

I'm on duty tonight. Damn! Dinner!

At Rebecca's parents. Two hours ago.

I should have been there for dinner.

I have to use your phone.

I need to make a call.

- What do we do now?

- We can't just leave him here, -

- in case someone comes.

We'll leave him in the alley.

Come on, give me a hand.

I'm an ambulance driver. I should

be saving people, not dump them.

We have to hide your car.

They know what it looks like.

Take the car and I'll

take a taxi up to Glenn.

So, this is why we retired to Norway

instead of to Mallorca?

A son in law that

doesn't care about his own family.

Hi, Rebecca. Sorry I'm late

but where are you?

I'm where you should have been.

What are you up to?

I'll be there in ten minutes.

- No, let it be. I don't want to.

- Can I talk to Julie?

The money's not in the account yet.

Well...

- I have never liked him.

- You have never liked anyone.

You don't even like mom.

- Can I help you with something?

- I'm just checking in with the patient.

- I picked him up earlier today.

- I can't let you in.

You got some nasty bruises there.

Heine, was it?

That's alright. I'll come back later.

The ambulance driver that picked

you up asked for you. Just now.

I don't want to talk to anyone now.

I'm having a smoke on the balcony.

I'll come and get you in ten minutes.

- What on earth happened to you?

- Nothing.

- What are you doing?

- Nothing.

My god! What has happened?

I need some band aid.

I know you would have

done the same thing.

I know what they caught you for.

Someone's eager to get you.

They're dangerous.

What are you up to?

- It's me they're after. It's my problem.

- Not after we borrowed you money.

You'll get back the money.

You're the only family I've got and I

wanted things to be as they were.

- You'll see. You're going to love it.

- What did you buy?

What the hell!

He went back inside.

Listen to me.

Was it the police

here in town that got it?

Yes. This really sucks.

I'm stuck here and can't do sh*t.

Stay alive and I'll fix this. Somehow.

- I'm sorry.

- How many times have you said that?

Way too many times.

- What did Glenn say?

- He'd spent all the money.

They won't give up until

they've gotten back everything.

I just need to sit here

and figure out what to do.

- How is he doing?

- He hasn't woken up yet.

When we were kids,

your dad was always invulnerable.

He was always invulnerable.

I remember us being

at your cabin every summer.

He was everything my dad was not.

He kept things together.

He was at his best there.

Now he's small.

I've never said that he was

good enough. Not once.

It's funny. There's no other place

than here I would like to be.

But I don't want to be in the room.

I sat like this with my mom.

For three weeks.

Without saying one word.

I had these conversations with her.

Inside my head.

Then she died in the evening.

I called my dad. They were divorced.

It was snowing and...

Dad didn't even go into her room.

Then we went over to his place,

had a bottle of wine.

There was this woman there.
