R Page #4

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.

You must have seen something.

Come on.

Wasn't he your comrad?

Rashid. Bricklayer must just

talk to you.

- What then, Rashid?

- What then?

- How are you?

- Quiet and calm.

- You were in for questioning, right?

- Yes.

- What happened?

- Nothing happened.

Some people are talking,

when they come in for questioning.

Let's sit in the shed.

It's f***ing cold out here.

Do you know,

what morning-coffee is?

- No.

- That you've never heard of?

- Is it coffee?

- He has never heard of morning-coffee.

It's at least named

morning-coffee.

You take your electic kettle

from the kitchen -

- and fill it with oil.

Olive oil.

Then you put a pound of sugar in -

- and let it boil.

So when it has boiled well,

and sugar is completely melted ...

... then one goes in to them,

who have talked to the officers ...

... pulls the carpet from them

and pours oil out on them.

Once there was a small songbird, -

- which sat up in the house.

For him, we made morning-coffee.

I've never ever heard

someone scream so much before.

We must make an example,

if people talk too much.

That's why,

happens what happens. Right?

I just think,

you should know.

And so we drive's just farther,

as we have always done, right?

- What is he doing here?

- He must be eating.

- Could you give me a plate?

- I don't want him here.

It's okay with me.

Can you understand that?

Give him a fork.

Eat just now.

- How are you?

- I'm okay.

It's hard.

Yes, I know. I know.

But there was nothing,

you could do.

- He shouldn't die after all.

- How it can go in here.

You must stay focused now.

- You'll probably not sit here forever.

- Of course not.

You must just

simply fit your duties.

So it must all work together.

Rashid? Where are you?

Rashid ... You have visitors.

I need to change clothes.

It takes two seconds.

- Now.

- I would just change.

Rashid, there is visiting. Now.

- I just have to ...

- Do you want visit or not?

Now. Let's go.

It's not so hard.

How are you, my boy?

Good to see you.

You have no idea, how much I miss

you. I can't sleep at night.

I'm always thinking at you.

I have no idea, what goes through

your head. What happens to you?

God will show you the way.

Do you remember to pray?

Rashid, you must not lie.

Do you pray, as you should?

- Why do you not talk to me?

- I have nothing to say, Mom.

Kim, I would like to

go to the mosque.

Not now.

The clock is crap at night.

I would like to the mosque now.

Just this one time. I need it.

Kim...

I need to talk to you.

What then, Rashid?

I know, how this here are

getting around in the prison.

This here, I've never seen it.

Put it in your pocket, and give it

to the one, who is the owner.

Now you take the last three months -

- right cool, and then you

don't intervene in this here.

You're too good for that.

There's also something else.

I know, who killed Rune.

It was Bricklayer and the Albanian.

Good morning, Rashid.

You have something,

that belongs to me.

- Where's that f***ing egg?

- It's here.
