Just play some more.

- Is dad coming soon?

- No, he comes little later.

I'm leaving. See you.

Bye.

- Who is it?

- It's me.

- What is it?

- Can you help us?

- With what?

- Can he stay with you for two minutes?

There has been a misunderstanding.

The police are here.

- And?

- I'll come back. It's just two minutes.

Sit down.

Here is a little messy, but ...

Did she just pick you up or ..?

No, he's not.

Just take it easy.

It'll be over soon.

I don't know.

He is in kindergarten, I assume.

Do you want to go home to your father?

I can walk by myself.

Hi. This is Tobias.

I think it's him, you guys are looking for.

Come, we'll go in here, darling.

You know what ...?

Stop it

That hurt!

Let go of him. Now!

Do you hear? Release him!

You have dialed -

- 23 52 01 44

Please leave a message.

Hi, this is your big brother.

I would like to get hold of you.

Hi, Nick.

Are you drunk?

Haven't you slept yet?

Are you sleeping?

Yes.

- Explain to me again what we are doing.

- I want you to see her, Nick.

Whose car is it?

- If it's another girl you've followed ...

- Calm down. Wait and see.

It's Ana.

It's her birthday.

Ana took a pregnancy test -

- and it was positive.

I said I wanted to have it.

But that was apparently

the wrong thing to say -

- Because she left me.

She got an abortion. That was it.

F***, that's a long time ago.

Do you want to have children?

With her I wanted everything, man.

I think you would be good

at taking care of a baby.

Here you go. Thank you.

Then she took a magazine

and began beating her.

- Then she ran out.

- That's so far out!

She didn't come back out, but ...

She was just little fatty.

- So you were glad?

- Yes.

Do you think I'm cute?

Just tell me if there is anything

you want me to do.

- Want to touch my breasts?

- Yes. Should I just ...?

Yes. Let me help you.

Do you want me to help you?

Have you never tried it before, Ivan?

It's okay.

It's pretty sweet.

You can touch further down, as well.

- Can you tell that I'm wet?

- Yes.

I'll leave for 10 minutes.

Hello. I want

my brother's address.

I have a phone number.

Who are you?

I'm looking for my brother.

He lives here.

There's no one home. He hasn't

been home for a few weeks.

I hope nothing happened.

He was so sweet, your brother.

And that sweet little Martin.

- Is something wrong?

- No, no, I ...

I've never seen where he lives.

I've removed the ads. So no one

can tell that he isn't home.

If you see him,

tell him to call me.

- If he shows up, okay?

- Okay.

Thanks.

Ivan!

Hi, Nick.

- What are you doing?

- Nick?

You must stay out here.

It's not so good in there.

What the hell are you talking about?

Stop ... No, stop, Nick!

What's going on?

- Ivan!

- It was just because ...

Suddenly she began to scream.

I wanted her to stop.

Ivan!

I can't do this anymore.

- Hey, honey.

- Hi, Dad.

What are you drawing?

Me and mom.

And me in a Zorro costume.

- Are you ready to go home?

- Two seconds.

Now.

- Did we forget lunch again?

- Yes.

Sorry.

- Then let's go buy some food, okay?

- Yea.

Dad, I want toast.

Okay, toast.

But something healthy, too, okay?

- Do you want to steer the cart?

- Yes.

Here's flour and browning.

- Is there anything else you need?

- No thanks.

- I owe you.

- It doesn't matter. Keep it.

- Are you doing your homework?

- No, I am drawing.

- I'm still in kindergarten.

- Oh yes.

Can you look after him a bit?

I have to go to the toilet.

Thanks for the information.

You are good at that.

More colors.

Then it would be really good.

What about a green

Yes, and what about a man there?

Now you just watch.

That doesn't look like a space rocket.

- It took a while.

- Yes, okay. Want some food?

No thanks. I 'm leaving.

- Thanks for the help, Vrle.

- Okay.

They say that you pick him up too late,

and he seems tired and aggressive.

He doesn't sleeps well at the moment.

He is thinking of his mother.

Martin's mother was run over

two years ago.

Both you and Martin's mother

were substance abusers?

- Have you started taking drugs again?

- No, not at all.

- You don't seem to feel good.

- Oh ... Okay.

- I think it's the flu ...

- I don't think you understand the seriousness.

We have begun a process -

- Which may end with

a placement of your boy.

It will be assessed if you are

able to take care of him.

Okay.

- Shall we say that's it?

- Yes.

And regarding cash assistance ...

Just forget it.

It's okay.

You can get three days' advance.

Just one more thing.

I don't care about anything else

other than my boy, okay?

- Dad, I'm hungry.

- Okay.

Sit straight and watch a little television, okay?

Dad has to go to the toilet.

I want something to eat now, Dad.

Okay, I'll make you something.

It's okay.

Just go to the bathroom.

Okay. Sit here.

Take off your jacket.

I'll be back in a minute.

Okay.

Come here.

Let's sleep in daddy's bed.

You can't lie on the floor, okay?

Come, Martin.

- What is it?

- Come.

Yes, okay.

What?

- Look ... Zorro.

- Yes!

Good, huh?

F***!

Hello?

Who?

Yes, that's my mother.

How is she?

Okay ...

Okay.

What time did she die?

Yes, try.

I don't know how to get hold of him

but you can try.

Yes. Yes, fine.

You're welcome.

- Honey, you'll have to go in by yourself.

- What are you doing?

Dad is busy. Go now.

- You're picking me up, right?

- Of course I'll pick you up you.

I always pick you up.

Now go.

Martin, take this.

Here.

Yes.

Martin, your father is here.

Hi, Dad.

I'll go find Martin's clothes.

- It is a drawing for grandma's coffin.

- Come.

Look at it.

Come on, Martin.

Martin, here are your clothes.

I can do it myself.

Dad.

Dad, are you asleep?

I think it's time for kindergarten now.

Of course.

What time is it?

Oh no.

I'm coming.

We'll probably a little late, Martin.

- Do you want breakfast?

- Yes.

I don't know, Martin ...

It's okay. But I would

like a lunch pack.

You'll get one tomorrow. You can

eat some from Hjalte's again.

- No.

- Yes.

- Yes, Martin.

- No!

No, I won't eat his food!

- You f***ing have to!

- No! I don't want to anymore!

Martin ...

Come on. Come here.

Calm down now.

- Let me go! Stop!

- Come here.

- Stop.

- Calm down. Easy.

Come on.

Come here.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know, sweetheart.

I'll think of something, okay?

- Hello. /I

- It's home help.

It's not the day,

for my home help.

Lizzy Holm?

Then it's today.

Hello. I'm about to make lunch.

Want some food?

No thanks.

Are not you hungry?

Do you want some to go?

What are you doing?

- You are insured.

- You can't take my stuff.

Do not take my wedding rings!

- Where is your money?

- I have no money. I have none.

- Where is your money?

- I have no money.

Tell me where the money is

Otherwise I'll break your legs -

- and leave you.

Put it there.

Good.

- Hey, Nick.
