No, I won't.

I will only go to kindergarten.

- I just don't.

You have to go to school some time.

Come here.

Look, it's not dangerous.

And I'll go with you the first day.

I'd rather learn how to ride a bike.

I don't want to go to school without you.

Okay. Off you go.

- I dreamt about mom yesterday.

- What did she say?

Not much.

Do you know where she told me

that we were expecting you?

- At the zoo.

- At the monkeys' cage.

At the monkeys' cage, yes.

I can feel her looking down at us.

And smiles.

I feel it too.

I love you, honey.

I love you.

Money first.

Why do I need to say it.

For 500

- Hello.

- Hey, you old bag.

How is it going up there?

It's crazy down here.

- Should we get a beer afterwards?

- Yes. / I

- We'll talk in an hour.

- Alright.

And Yellow? Thank you.

- Hello.

- Run! Run as fast as you can!

Carsten is a snitch, man.

Get rid of everything and run!

Hello. My name is Ulrik Hansen

I am your defence counsellor.

I'm in a hurry,

so we'll have to keep it short.

You haven't told the

police anything yet?

What happened?

You are supposed to have strangled her?

With that?

Is anyone I need to contact for you?

We'll meet again soon, Nikolaj -

- And then we'll have someone

look at that hand.

We're here to talk to you about Martin.

You have been allowed to call him.

He is doing okay

under the circumstances.

I know it can be difficult

to talk to him -

- But it's best for Martin,

if he knows where his father is.

He should know that you're okay.

Do you want to talk to him?

Yes.

Hello.

Martin? It's Dad.

- Hello, darling.

- Hello.

How are you?

- I don't know.

- Where are you?

On a farm.

Dad, when can I see you again?

I don't know.

It'll probably take some time.

- Are they treating you well?

- They have rabbits.

Rabbits? Really?

I miss you.

I miss you too, honey.

But it'll be okay.

Martin?

Are you there?

Don't cry, honey.

I can't help it.

- Is there anyone who can comfort you?

- Yes, but they are eating.

- Just go and eat, okay?

- Should I just go?

Of course.

I think about you, my big boy.

Bye.

- Are you hanging up?

- No.

- You hang up.

- No, you do.

Okay. I count to three.

Then we'll hang up together, okay?

One, two, three ...

Bye.

Hey!

Brother?

Nick!

- You look like sh*t.

- So do you.

- How long have you been here?

- Three weeks.

Where's Martin?

I don't know where he is.

- I've been thinking about you.

- You too.

I wanted to have a

proper talk with you.

Or just see you more.

I tried to call.

I don't think

it was our fault that time.

You were a good big brother.

You did what you could.

And I did what I could.

What's going on?

Are you alright?

- I get off here, Nick.

- What?

- It's about time.

- What?

What did you say?

Brother?

- Take care of yourself.

- Wait a minute. Wait a minute, man.

What happens to Martin?

Brother!

Let me talk to him!

Brother!

F***!

Let me outta here!

Let me out!

Hey!

Brother!

- Is Nikolaj Torp here?

- Yes, just go inside.

Nikolaj, how are you?

I have some juice for you.

How are you?

I can still feel my hand.

It's all a bit strange.

I don't know what you are doing.

The doctor can testify that your hand was

useless at the time of the murder.

And two hands were definitely used.

I don't know who you're hiding -

- But you shouldn't take the blame

for a crime you did not commit.

Is there anything you need?

Yes, I would like to see my brother.

I saw him at recreation

a few days ago.

He is also in jail?

I was not aware.

Wait a minute.

I'm going to make a call.

What?

Your brother is dead.

They found him yesterday morning

in the bathroom.

It was suicide.

You have to tell me the story.

Okay.

Hi, Nick.

Hi, Ana.

What happened to your hand?

I removed your tattoo.

- You have a kid.

- Yes.

Alexander.

- Cool.

- He can only cry and sleep.

It can be hard with a little one,

crying all the time.

Have you seen Ivan?

If you see him,

tell him to stay away.

What happened?

Just tell him.

I have to go now.

It was good seeing you.

Take care.

- Hi, Martin.

- Hey, Nick.

How are you?

I don't know.

No. I don't know either.

What happened to your hand?

It fell off.

- But I'll get by, don't you think?

- Yea.

D'you want to accompany me?

Okay.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Hi, Martin.

- Sit down here.

I would like to sit with him.

I am Martin's uncle.

Can he sit with me?

Come.

Let's sit here.

- We were sitting here the last time, too.

- What?

- I was sitting here the last time with my dad.

- That's right, yes.

Afterwards, I'll tell you

why your name is Martin.

He also has one.

What?

Dad also has one,

so we can find each other.

- You say that?

- Yes, now keep your mouth shut.

We'll do it right.

Like in a church.

Are you ready?

In the Father -

- - And the Holy Spirit's ...

... spirit.

We dub you today ...

... Martin.

Yea.

In the Holy Spirit -

- your name is now ... Martin.
