Fuck Up Page #4

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.

I sat on the couch on the first floor

and dad was upstairs, screwing.

And I thought to myself:

I will never be like that.

You're a lot better than your dad.

How did it turn out

at home last night?

Honestly, things are going really bad.

Was Julie sick when you got home?

You know what? You're the one

that's made the most of herself.

It was during the summers

that no one could get to us.

That was more important

to some than to others.

- Hello?

- Hi, it's the emergency.

There's an

unconscious man in an alley.

He's stable, the police are there.

- What are you calling me for?

- You're on the emergency team -

- on duty, so it's you I'm calling.

- I'm having personal problems.

Who doesn't? Tell me where you are

and Malene will pick you up.

I'm at Meiseveien 9.

Rasmussen, they've found him

in the alley. You have to go there.

If not, I won't get my license.

Right now I don't have much else left.

Now!

You take the stretcher.

- He's awake but out of it.

- Alright. What can we do about it?

Do you want me to kick him

in the head? I can't go in there.

- But I can?

- Looks like it.

Move people out of the way

so we can get some work done.

I'll get a neck brace in the car.

Now everything will be alright.

He woke up but then

he passed out again.

You did a really good job today.

- Thanks for not throwing me out.

- Don't thank me, thank Robin.

Why do you think you were accepted

at the ambulance course?

- What are you doing?

- Somebody's after our patient!

- Do you know who those people are?

- No.

What the hell do we do now?

Is he going to survive?

Listen. We can't tell the police

that we dumped the patient, right?

- He ran off while we were parked.

- He ran off on the stretcher?

They aren't going to report that.

We'll just get a new one from

the storage. Are you alright?

- Are you going to survive?

- We get by the strangest thing.

I'm sorry, Malene. You weren't

meant to get wound up in this.

- Wound up in what?

- I'll come down later.

This is really bad timing

but I have to go now.

My life is about to fall to pieces.

Jack? Jack!

A guy dropped by with this for you.

New rules, Jack. You got 24 hours.

Waiting for you at Grand Hotel.

Sometimes it seems that life

has its own debt account.

At one point

your debt will be due and collected.

When you think you've hit bottom,

it can always get a lot worse.

Open up!

Is Rebecca and Julie here?

Hello!

I have no right to be here.

Sorry for not fixing the money

and dropping out on dinner.

Promise me that you and Julie

will not go home.

Get as mad as you want

but just don't go home.

- What is happening?

- Just something I need to sort out.

Let me have a look at you.

I shouldn't have thrown you out.

I get so mad and start packing and...

- Rebecca...

- I got mad, you don't have to move.

Yes, I do.

- I don't want you to.

- You've told me to leave many times.

It's you and me.

Rebecca. Rebecca. I'm no good.

I'm bad. I'm a bad guy.

I'll take a look at those wounds.

Wait here.

You know what? I've f***ed anything

that moves. I've f***ed all my life.

Do you think that I don't know that?

Don't you think that?

This is no kind of life.

We can't live our lives like this.

We only make

each other smaller and smaller.

Julie goes around pretending

to be sick so that I'll come back.

But she's not sick. She's not sick.

We can't use kids in this.

We're not like that.

Rebecca...

Can you please tell Rebecca

and Julie to stay here tonight.

You can be assured of that.

There you go. Turn your back

to the problem. Like you always do.

What the hell are you doing?

Have you gone nuts?

Get out of here!

Don't ever come back here.

Hi, Jack. What a surprise.

I heard that you've been

a busy man today.

Listen, you're in a lot more

trouble than we are.

If you don't go

back with that package.

You don't know this place.

Stay the hell away from my family.

It won't help threatening them.

Don't take it personally, Jack.

It's only business.

How can you live with yourself?

- My daughter is a child.

- You think that I'm the devil.

That is wrong.

Even in a content life there is sin.

You can't escape that, Jack.

Ask yourself how you

learn to live with your sins.

You'll come to the same conclusion

as every thinking human being -

- since they burned heretics.

There is no God.

Death is nothing.

It is just nothingness.

As soon as you realize that,

you can live with anything.

She's a child.

My daughter is a child.

Two out of six ducklings survive.

The rest are eaten

by seagulls or pikes.

We don't perceive the pike

as being evil because of that.

Those are the ways of nature.

Every man for himself.

I think that you know that.

You must leave now.

Just stay away from

Rebecca and my daughter.

- Hi.

- It's Jack. Meet me on the roof.

Glenn is here. The police

has the drugs at the station, -

- they don't have a case.

What's most profitable?

Financing four kilos of coke

or breaking into the police station?

We have to break in.

We'll get it tomorrow tonight.

I understand that you want to

be here with you dad.

- He's sleeping.

- What about your job?

However sad it sounds:

you are more important.

The confiscation storage is in

the basement of the police station.

If we get to open a window to

the backyard, we can climb in there.

- How do you open the window?

- There are stairs going down -

- from the offices on the first floor.

- How many guards are there?

- 4-5 on a weekday.

- So, we'll pass the guards, get down -

- into the basement, find the room

and get out? Is that a good idea?

No, I never said it was

a good idea but it's an idea.

- What's that?

- A reason for the cops to book me.

Rohypnol. It always goes wrong.

Guaranteed.

- See you, then.

- Yeah, nice.

- Alright?

- Yes.

Hi, Julie.

It's nice to see you.

- I saw you yesterday.

- What happened then has nothing -

- to do with you.

Because I love you very much.

- Why did you hit granddad?

- Because he's a bitter old man, -

- with a boxing complex.

One important thing.

Can you tell mom that you need -

- to spend one more night with

grandmother. She'll listen to you.

Please.

I'll pick you up later. Goodbye.

We'll skip school today.

Hi. Can Julie stay here for a while?

God damn it, Rasmussen.

- Why?

- You know. Pills and booze.

It totally twists your brain.

- It's absolutely meaningless.

- Yes.

You know you'll have to pay

for that window.

Someone will get

in touch with you next week.

I'm sorry. I understand

that it must be annoying.

I promise. I plan on starting

with chicken wings.

- You know, those big juicy...

- Leave!

- Got a new style?

- You're my role model.

- What's that?

- Universal keys.

Are you dragging that around?

It's a lot better than

a crowbar and drill.

Then we're off.

Chicken wings is the future.

I've got the promotional song for it.

That's alright, Rasmussen.

- Ok?

- Yes. Good.

- Are you ready?
