I didn't expect to see you.

I didn't want to come, either.

But I have some papers.

Can we meet afterwards?

Okay.

- What do you want?

- We'll share a cola.

- I'm buying. What do you want?

- Okay ... What do you want?

- A cola.

- A cola and a lemon water.

Lemon Water? A cola,

a lemon water and a Tuborg Gold.

- Are you hungry?

- Yes.

Chicken and fries.

- It's good to see you.

- Yes.

- Where do you live now?

- Northwest.

I don't have your phone number.

I have no phone, so ...

Mom had a house -

- And it has become very valuable.

- 200.000-300.000.

- 200.000-300.000?

Yes. And that's our money.

It's 289,000.

- Thanks.

- You should have my number.

Just write it here.

- Here.

- Thanks.

Martin, you can go play,

while we wait for the food.

Put on your jacket.

You can just keep them.

The money from mom.

I don't want them.

- Why not?

- I want nothing from mom.

- And beer is not that expensive.

- I've got it under control, Nick.

- Fine. I don't want to interfere.

- I've got it under control.

It's not about you.

It's the boy.

Okay?

Where'd he go?

He left.

Come, let's go.

Now let's spend some money.

For there will be many more very soon.

- Can you see all those shelves?

- Yes.

Go crazy.

What do you want?

- Plaice fillet.

- Lettuce. Something healthy.

- More fish fillet. Juice. And mackerel.

And Risifrutti.

And curied herring.

You want a beating, huh?

You want a beating?

Just put it over there.

Then I take it from here.

- That was everything. You just have to sign here.

- Then you'll extract it from my account, right?

Are you afraid of coming over here?

You p*ssy!

We've tried a roller coaster,

The Flying Trunk and the Dragon.

What do we have left?

The Demon.

The Demon, yes. And I'll shoot

some bears for you, right?

- Yes.

- Want another coke?

Yes, of course.

- Do you have a pen?

- Yes.

- I need a beer and a cola.

- Just a minute.

Watch this.

Who am I now?

Pierrot?

Pierrot!

- No, you are Zorro!

- Yes, I am Zorro.

Want it?

And another.

There we go.

- Cheers.

- Bottoms up.

Bottoms all the way up!

Right?

Watch this.

If you save this Z ...

... and I save this Z

we can always find each other.

Yes.

Dad ...

Dad, I can't sleep ...

Dad?

Just stay seated.

Be seated.

- You come from the Albanian?

- Yes.

- Is that for me?

- Yes.

Good.

He does not come in here today.

He is in a bad mood.

Now I take the money with me to the car.

And if it's are all there -

- Then you get what you paid for.

If it's not there,

then we take 50.000 for the inconvenience.

And you get to walk out the door.

- And we don't see each other again.

- Can't you just count them here?

Easy. I know

the money is there.

No one's trying to cheat you.

People are just nervous if

there's a lot of money around.

It doesn't look good.

And you'll only sell in the city, right?

- You have a little boy?

- Yes.

Why are you doing this?

- To make some money.

- For your boy?

And then you get caught.

What happens then?

I won't get caught.

Elias and Kalle,

don't run on the stairs.

Hi, Martin.

- Is that your father?

- Yes.

- Mona. I am the new intern.

- Hey, Mona.

Nice to meet you. This is the sheet

with participants for our colony.

- Is Martin going?

- To the colony?

We have sent some letters.

- Maybe we sent them to his mother?

- Martin has no mother.

So I usually get the letters.

But I haven't seen them.

- She was run over by a road hog.

- I'm sorry.

We are doing very well on our own.

Right, Martin?

- Do you want to go to the colony?

- Yes, if I'm allowed.

Obviously you are going.

Right?

Sure, I am!

- Yes, he'll go. He would like that.

- Good.

See you.

Bye, bye.

Bye, Martin.

- Who is it?

- Wait a minute.

- Hello.

- We are going to play hide and seek!

Hello.

Who is it?

Hello?

I don't know.

Hi.

Take care of yourself. Be good.

Give me a hug.

Off you go.

Are you excited, Martin?

Me too.

You can look after me.

You can sit next to Malthe.

I'll call you every night

and say goodnight. Bye, Martin.

See you.

- Dope.

- What do you have?

- Very good dope.

- Shut up, what do you have?

- White Thai.

- Don't know it. Is it good?

Okay. 200.

Come on, man.

The same as yesterday.

Damn.

Stop a minute.

I've 400.

I have 400 for you.

Is it good stuff?

You're new here, right?

Take it easy, man.

If it's decent, I'll come

again. The Ghanaians are too insane.

- Okay. See you.

- Yea, f*** off.

- Got dope?

- How much?

You can't stand by Central Station.

They only sell pills there.

You need to go further down the street.

If you want to sell.

You really have the goods, man.

Where are you from?

Around.

- Are you nervous?

- What for?

It's not like you hear a click on the phone.

They aren't that stupid.

You get that burning sensation

in the back of your neck -

- When you walk in the street.

That's the one you should listen to.

It is as if someone is

following you.

But you can't feel it

if you are f***ing nervous all the time.

It's really good dope.

Where does it come from?

You ask too much.

I'm going now.

- Wait a minute.

- I'm leaving.

- If you follow me I'll beat you.

- Relax, man.

I'm an old school teacher, man.

I'm no cop.

You are all worked up.

You need to get someone to sell for you.

You're bad at it.

- He's helping with the cooking.

- Okay.

Martin, your father is on the phone.

Here he comes.

- Hello, darling.

- I found some amber.

- It's white, but it's amber.

- Okay.

- We're eating now, Dad.

- Okay ...

- You hang up first.

- No, you do.

- Okay, we do it at the same time.

- Okay. I'll count to three.

One, two, three ...

Carsten.

- Jimmy says you can sell.

- Yes, yes

- And you're not bullshitting?

- No, I don't bullshit.

If you have good dope,

I can sell a few grams a day.

You cover the losses.

- If you screw me over ...

- I don't.

- There are ten packages here.

- Okay.

If it's full of money later,

we have a deal.

- At two o'clock. Not a minute later.

- I'll be on time.

- Get lost.

- Bye, Carsten.

He has been an addict

since he was 14.

He knows the game.

He knows how he to sell,

and where to sell from.

And he's fast.

He'll make you and your son rich

so you can travel around the world.

Dammit, don't you want that?

So say thanks to Old Yellow

instead of being angry.

Yes, yes. Thanks, Yellow.

Thank you. Whatever.

See you.

- Kindergarten, it is Mona.

- Hey, is Martin there?

He is playing soccer -

- So you'll have to talk to me.

That's okay, isn't it?

Fine. You'll remember to teach

Martin how to ride a bike, right?

- What should we teach him?

- How to ride a bicycle.

That's now a problem.

But let's talk a little first.

Okay.

We eat in a minute.

Tomorrow I will teach you to ride a bike.

I don't want to.

I'll fall for sure.

Of course, you want to. I'll take

tomorrow off and teach you.

Mona will also be there.

So she can help you.

Is she your girlfriend?

Mona?

No ...

Would it be okay if she were?
