Fuck Up Page #5

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.

- As ready as I can be.

- This is the stupidest thing I've done.

- Make believe it's hide and seek.

- Hi.

- Hi. My credit cards have been stolen.

- Have you blocked them?

- I figured you had that information.

Fill out this to your bank

and I'll get you a report form.

Where do we begin in here?

- I'll get more forms in the basement.

- No, no, that's alright.

- I'll do it tomorrow. They're blocked.

- You just wait here.

It's doctor Arnstad,

could you please come in now.

Your dad hasn't got much time left.

- You know you're really living.

- God damn it.

Keep quiet!

So, Rasmussen. Then it's us.

Daddy is dying.

Looks like it.

Remember to take out

what he bought on the side.

- Ok.

- See you.

I'm going down to get some coffee.

Do you want one?

If you can hear me someplace.

I'm sorry.

For everything I didn't get to say.

Damn it.

You and me, daddy.

Here's the stuff.

After you get this, you leave. And stay

away from my family and Glenn.

That depends on what's in the bag.

I kept my part of the deal.

- Are you going to give me that?

- Not until you stay away from Glenn.

You're incredible, Jack.

Glenn did something

completely stupid.

- Do you think he'd do this for you?

- Yes, I think so.

You've only lost a bit of time.

And gotten a couple of grazes.

Glenn got into an accident tonight.

He fell down from a roof.

- What about Glenn?

- He couldn't keep his mouth shut.

And you haven't

been very cooperative.

Look out there. Do you see that?

It won't look that good.

I hope you know

what you're doing now.

No, I don't know what I'm doing. I just

know I'll get to you so f***ing hard.

Why couldn't you just leave?

What did Glenn do to you?

You, Jack! What have you done?

You beat one of my guys half to death.

Ingvar doesn't love you much either.

You pushed him over the edge

just as much as I did.

There needs to be a balance to this.

Buster, come.

No!

Get out of the car!

Jack!

Glenn! Glenn!

Car accident. Highway 22.

At the border.

Glenn is dead.

They threw him off the roof.

What the hell are you saying?

Hi. We're at Grand Hotel.

- What is it?

- It's an emergency call.

- Tell me, what have you done now?

- Don't ask.

- Get in the back.

- He's not coming with us.

If anyone's in need of help, it's us.

Thanks for coming.

We'll handle this.

One of them is wanted by the police.

- What about that?

- It's been there since we got here.

Malene Brosted.

Is there anything we can do?

- Is there one more?

- No, there's only these two.

Jack! Jack, we're leaving now.

It's enough now, Jack.

Let's just leave it.

You just stay here and I'll leave.

None of us will win.

Both of us get what we deserve.

You have to do it yourself.

It's not worth it.

Jack, this is not a good idea.

Someone else will come along.

Instead of me. We know

everything about you and your family.

We're going to find you.

Just let me go.

Think about your family, damn it!

Think about Julia.

I'm good at forgetting. Buster!

I found one more.

He was laying in there.

- Are you alright?

- Yes...

Are you sure?

- Stop! Stop!

- Yes, is it someone you know?

- They have to get in the car.

- What? Are they coming with us?

What now? What now?

Do you want to tell us

what happened in the woods?

He shot himself.

Who?

At least we got his share back.

His pension fund,

in case he wakes up.

It's a strange thing, when someone

you've always known dies.

Knowing that he won't be there

the next morning, starts to sink in.

Suddenly, all you've

taken for granted is gone.

The question shouldn't be:

What's the meaning of life?

But rather:

What's the meaning in life?

Still, it's easier to not think about it.

Instead we put one foot

in front of the other, -

- thinking we've found a direction.

When that one second arrives,

we're happier with what we were, -

- than with what we never became.

Hi.

Look, here.

- What's that?

- It's...

It's the reason why I borrowed

that money. I thought that...

You could give that to Robin.

You were the one who fixed this.

It's a deed to the cabin.

There was a bid on it so I bought it.

For... well, for us.

What's that?

- Was that it?

- That was all of it.

Nice and big. These are

the expensive ones. Thanks.

- You too. Good luck.

- Thanks.

There's comfort in knowing

that we are the species -

- that learn the least

from our mistakes.

We don't need to.

We don't have any natural enemies.

Besides ourselves.
