R Page #2

Synopsis: The R of the title stands for the young protagonist, Rune, fearlessly played by Pilou Asbæk. Imprisoned for violent assault, he's a cocky, good-looking young man placed in the hardcore ward, where his survival depends on quickly learning the prison's parallel world of rules, honor, and obligations. R also stands for Rachid, a young Muslim prisoner who becomes Rune's friend and accomplice, defying the rigid racial stratifications among the inmates.

- In two years.

- How long do you sit?

- A year or so.

It's not so much. For good

behavior it will probably be less.

Is there someone, who is after you?

There's no one

who are after me, okay?

Relax, man. You take it hard.

There's either any after me.

- Want a cigarette?

- No, I don't smoke.

Healthy and wise, you.

Are you happy for your new job?

- Quiet and calm.

- It's better than dishwashing.

What the hell are you two doing?

Go out and find some friends.

I'll talk to him there.

Listen.

After work, you go in your cell

and stay there for a half an hour.

Not doing anything, Bricklayer.

I want to talk with you.

Stop that bullshit,

and give me a towel.

Give me a clean towel

at hell.

What the hell was it,

that happened yesterday?

- What do you mean?

- Well, what do you think?

Yes, him.

It's totally ridiculous, man.

It's the third time.

- You may find some decent people.

- They are not on the trees.

Not stare at him,

when we two are talking.

You must have a proper talk

with him. Really proper.

- I'll not stare at him again.

- No problem.

Now you may pull yourself together.

- Are you finished here?

- I just have to ...

You're finish.

I gotta talk to you.

In a moment something happens down the

bog, which the guard must not see.

Therefore, you go up and soaps their

cage in, so they can't look out.

Go.

Jesper, what is he doing?

Is that something,

you've asked him to do?

What?

- What are you doing?

- I wash the windows, right?

What happens?

Right out of the office, come on.

What are you doing?

- Kim asked me to wash the windows.

- Do you know anything about that?

- He said so yesterday, man.

He said, I should fix the

corridor and the windows.

- It looks like a pigsty, right?

- Well, then go straight ahead.

Fine. Then you must also

remember the others.

Alarm! There's assault down here!

Come!

Hurry!

Get in with you! In!

Go away! Into the side!

Damn ...

You go first.

What the hell?

Dont you like my drawings?

- Have you made that cell for us?

- Yes.

Go and keep watching at the door.

- Shall I turn it on?

- Yes.

I saw, you got order

at your things yesterday.

Right on the nose. It opened

immediately. He began to howl.

Took hold of him ... Bang into

the washbasin. Over in the radiator.

Into the shower.

Suddenly he said no more.

Then he went on. I had to

pull him away at last.

"You keep your mouth shut," I shouted.

He was such ...

I don't know, if he heard it,

but he understood the message.

That one would think.

I had said to him -

- that smoke and money shouldn't be

be visible at the same time.

- Now we're faced with another problem.

- Yes, I know.

We need f***ing to find on something.

There must happen something.

The monkeys down there is quite warm.

Nothing has happened in three weeks.

After that with the Albanian,

they're starting to grow.

Find out something, otherwise there's

no butter on the bread. Open the door.

Move.

You need damn not open the door,

while I'm standing with a stick.

Are you stupid or what?

Think for a moment.

Hi, Grandma. It's Rune.

It goes well.

How are you?

That's good.

I was thinking, if you

wanted to come and visit me.

Yes, in Horsens.

And then take some of those

Kinder-eggs with, I like.

Kinder-eggs.

Some chocolate eggs.

That's fine.

Grandma, I don't have much time.

I'm speaking at phone-card.

See you. Hi.

- What then?

- Not so much.

Start with washing dishes.

It will never be finishes.

You live on the second West, right?

Will you do me a favor?

Tonight you go into

the first toilet to the left.

Then you check, whether you can

get of the gate behind the soil pipe.

- Rune!

- I'm coming!

Just do it.

- Say stop.

- Stop.

- One may smoke here, right?

- Yes yes.

How are you?

Fine.

Haven't you lost a little weight?

- Can you see it?

- Yes, I think.

Do you get something properly

to eat here?

- What did you eat today?

- Potatoes.

- Did you not more than potatoes?

- It was stew.

Well.

It's strange to sit here. I don't know,

what I shall say to you.

- Can not we just sit a little?

- Yes.

I've taken something with for you.

This.

That's them

you like, right?

Yes.

Thank you.

Don't take it all.

- You must show me, what's inside.

- Shall I open one?

- Well ...

- A small lion.

Do you remember, we were at the zoo

together? You was you so happy.

We spent much time there.

You couldn't detach yourself.

In the circus ... We have been

at all sorts of places.

You were a little boy,

who was so happy.

You were so happy.

My dear boy.

It will also be over, this.

So there will be a good time for you.

There's always something to us.

You have to give me

a hug, before you go.

You'll have to.

- Beware of the coffee.

- Yes.

- Okay.

- Yes.

Cheer up.

Cheer up.

Goodbye Rune.

We're finished.

- Was it there? Did you get it off?

- Yes.

- Can you stick your hand in there?

- I expect that.

Tonight at 19 o'clock do you stand at the toilet.

Then you hear me knock three times.

So stick your hand in

and grab that, I flush out.

Then you knock three times,

so I know you've got it.

- What do you flush out?

- You'll find out.

It's important,

you screw the lid back on.

The others may not find out,

what we're doing.

- Rune!

- One moment.

- Open up! Now open up!

- I have to be finished to sh*t.

I don't care. Open up or I

go up and sh*t in your cell.

- Now! Open now, dammit!

- Coming.

Did you get it?

What I sent down to you yesterday.

There was nothing.

Unless you mean this here.

Are you aware,

what we can do with this?

Yes, I'm not completely stupid.

Is it Woody Woodpecker,

standing and pecking in the frame?

- What do you want?

- Can we talk?

We can as well.

Come inside.

In private.

In private? That sounds naughty.

Are you naughty? What?

- What do you want?

- I can help you.

- With what?

- I can help you with that.

Before you talk more,

please close the door and sit down.

I can get things

down on the second West.

First time on credit.

The rest is prepaid.

Is there a loss, I take it myself.

And then I want my cut.

And then you shall

leave me in peace.

Leave you in peace?

Only if this works.

It does.

You can just think about it.

I haven't the high

risk of this here.

So piss off and get Bricklayer,

so I can steal his money.

What is it? Your gay.

What then, does he swallow?

I will talk to you.

I understand,

you need help with that.

Close the door.

I got something for you.

You don't look.

Holy sh*t, man ...

Okay?

- Hello.

- What then?

Here.

- There's missing a bunch.

- Yes, it does. Wait.

Go ahead.

- Why do you count them?

- It's not my money.

- And then what?

- I have to know, how many there are.

- Do you think, I'm f***ing up with you?

- Relax.

Missing 50 kroner.

- No, it doesn't.

- There's missing 50 kroner.

Yes, it's good with you.

You gave me a heart attack, man.

- Things are going well, doesn't it?
