Yeah, but don't you think that

Tara will take him back?

Not a chance.

Have you heard from him?

- A little. He's a complete mess.

- Serves him right.

I start work at the store

tomorrow. Come and see me.

OK, I'll drop by tomorrow.

I have to go. Grandma is

listening in.

- Have you heard from Tara?

- Yeah, she's asleep upstairs.

I can't live with this hag anymore.

I'm going to move.

Where will you move?

You see rent ads everywhere.

Can't I just rent something?

How will you pay the rent?

Do you have any money?

I'll just have to get

another extra job.

You know that anything's better

than living with my mom.

In this rathole.

It's a shame. There's always

some trouble with the old lady.

I know. Did you see her yesterday?

No, we just ran into her

when we were leaving.

She screamed at me in front

of everyone

and then she started

messing with Gabriel.

I can't stand her. There's

something wrong with her.

The register is self-explanatory.

Everything's quite simple,

the vegetables and all that.

You'll get the hang of this

in no time.

You'll usually be working with

Mitrovic. He can help you.

Does he speak Icelandic?

Yes, he speaks great Icelandic.

His nephew also works here sometimes.

His Icelandic is not that good.

Just ask Mitrovic or me.

You have my phone number.

Don't you want to try?

Let's start with some vegetables.

Carrots and...

It's afternoon and you're eating

Cocoa Puffs in your pyjamas?

Where does this damn

Cocoa Puffs come from?

Did you buy it?

- What's the matter, Gabriel?

- Nothing. Doesn't matter.

What doesn't matter?

There's something going on.

Spare me, mom.

Didn't you score in Manchester?

What? I was in English school.

That doesn't mean you can't

get laid. - Not me.

What about you?

Aren't you scoring?

What about this guy you were

talking about? - What guy?

The one you were telling me about

before I went to Manchester.

You didn't want to

tell me who he was.

You know you're the only

man in my life.

You know you can trust me.

- I just told you.

- You know I'll find out.

Is he cute?

- Shut up. Who are you texting?

- No one.

Who is this guy?

Don't change the subject.

- I'm not. Who are you texting?

- No one.

- Give me that.

- Not a chance.

- You're being really dubious.

- Come on.

- How's Tara?

- Not so good. Poor girl.

- Hi, Gabriel.

- Hi.

- Are you smoking in here?

- No.

There's so much smoke

in the hallway.

Close the door, grandma.

You know it's just incense.

You're just nosy.

Turn it out. It gives

you such a headache.

She's such a pain in the ass.

She watches everything I do.

She's always breathing

down my neck.

She can relax.

I'm nothing like my mother.

Doesn't she just have

her reasons? - Maybe.

You've been so strange since you

came. Something bothering you?

Don't you start too.

There's nothing wrong.

- Not that I know of.

- That's what you say.

- Hi, dear.

- What's up?

Nice to see you.

Have a seat, Gabriel.

Yes.

Well...

Mom, are you going to start again

with these family meetings?

Why don't you just give up?

There's always a reason for

having a family meeting.

Your father and I have noticed

certain changes in you

that cause certain suspicions.

What are you talking about?

I talked to your father and he

thought that it was right

to have a little chat with you.

Did you try some kind

of drugs in England?

No, I didn't try any drugs

in England.

I can take a drug test

if you don't believe me.

I'll pee in front of you

whenever you want.

- Well no, that's...

- Shut up.

You have to understand our worries.

The times have changed

and temptations are everywhere.

We have to believe the boy.

You wouldn't expect him

to be in that kind of trouble.

You never know.

This has been brought up,

anyway. How's school?

It's still summer vacation.

- But you did good this spring?

- Yes.

That's the most important thing.

Will you hunt reindeer this year?

Yes, we'll be in sector three,

but I applied for them all.

We were there last year,

but I prefer sector two.

Right now, I'd really like

to know where he is.

- Who?

- My dad.

Don't you know his name?

I know that his name is Haraldur

and that he is a complete loser.

She promised me that someday

she would tell me who he is.

Isn't it about time?

- Hi.

- Hi.

- How are you?

- Fine.

We're on our way out.

We're looking at an apartment.

Are you going to

rent an apartment?

Just she.

I'm going to get going. I just

got a contract at a salon.

- My first day.

- OK.

Do you want to come by later?

I'll use you as a guinea pig.

Guinea pig! I'm not sure...

Of course you'll go, Gabriel.

Get a haircut.

Drop by later. You're cool.

See you later.

Who was that?

Just a friend.

I met him in Manchester.

- Isn't this a nice apartment?

- Very nice. Very cozy.

- Nice kids?

- Yeah. A little peculiar.

Don't be alarmed by the mess

in the hallway.

- You've met Hallur.

- Yeah, hi.

- Greta, right?

- Greta, yes.

- This is Freyja.

- Hi

- And Geiri.

- Hi.

Walk around. Your room

is right next to mine.

Don't you want to

take a look?

Good afternoon.

Are you going

to the party tonight?

Welcome. There's beer, punch

and vodka in the kitchen.

I can understand two or four hours,

but now she's just being spiteful.

You're such an idiot.

She's just hurt. Understandably.

But still, this

wasn't anything serious.

Hi!

Nice haircut.

Answer one question...

Who threw up on you? I'll find

him and beat him up for you.

Get bent. Seriously.

- No, really. What is this?

- High lights.

- No sh*t. Why do you have this?

- I don't know.

Just a little change.

You have to get used to it.

A little change? He got a new

plumage. Like a bird.

Are you finished? - Just about.

I'll have another.

Hi, Tara, it's me.

Why didn't you come to the party?

You know, I can explain,

Greta understood me.

- I want everybody out!

- It's my home too.

Quiet! This isn't

a damn club!

Geiri is acting like an idiot.

Just come.

Do you want

to talk to Geiri? Bye!

You're just drunk and boring.

I can understand that you're mad

but now you're just spiteful.

Spiteful, that's a word.

What a b*tch.

- Are. You having fun?

- Yeah, aren't you coming?

- I'm on my way.

- OK, see you then.

Wait a minute.

Hi, Gabriel.

- How's it going?

- Fine.

Come on in.

This is my brother, Aron.

Aron, this is Gabriel.

Is that the guy who was

with you in Manchester?

Yes, he kept me alive.

- Look at you. Are you stoned?

- No.

Me neither.

We just have some booze.

Would you like a beer? - Yes.

Let me know if you find some

pot or something.

This is my friend, Lara.

- Hi, Lara.

- Gabriel.

Have a seat.

- Everything OK?

- Yeah, great.

Mitrovic!

Have you known

Markus for long?

Yes and no.

I'm good friends with Aron.

- Do you have a girlfriend, Gabriel?

- No. Why?

Have a shot.

Open the register you cow!

Sorich!

Call the police.

- What's the number?

- 112. Hurry!

He took my necklace.
