00:
00:15,958 -- 00:00:17,249

They go!

2

00:
00:18,541 -- 00:00:21,540

Wait for me, sh*t!

3

00:
00:21,708 -- 00:00:22,957

Hurry up!

4

00:
00:23,125 -- 00:00:24,749

You're not fast enough!

5

00:
00:24,916 -- 00:00:25,915

Hurry!

6

00:
00:28,750 -- 00:00:30,624

- They bet 1200.

- On what?

7

00:
00:30,791 -- 00:00:32,707

The first plunging into the lake.

8

00:
00:33,791 -- 00:00:34,999

Go!

9

00:
00:35,875 -- 00:00:37,207

The water is ice cold.

10

00:
00:40,250 -- 00:00:41,332

Wait for me!

11

00:
00:45,791 -- 00:00:49,082

- Jump!

- No, I'm not!

12

00:
00:54,750 -- 00:00:56,124

It's freezing.

13

00:
01:02,375 -- 00:01:05,082

NOVEMBER:

14

00:
01:15,291 -- 00:01:17,374

Sh*t, I have a cramp!

15

00:
01:19,833 -- 00:01:20,707

F***!

16

00:
01:21,083 -- 00:01:21,999

I'm coming!

17

00:
01:36,625 -- 00:01:39,040

Looks like a beached whale.

18

00:
01:39,250 -- 00:01:41,082

We must give him a heart massage.

19

00:
01:41,875 -- 00:01:43,832

Do not mess with him!

20

00:
01:46,541 -- 00:01:48,790

Have you checked the eel traps?

21

00:
01:48,958 -- 00:01:51,165

I want 600. I was second.

22

00:
01:51,333 -- 00:01:52,999

There's grub in the car.

23

00:
02:12,291 -- 00:02:12,835

THE HUNT:

24

00:
03:07,500 -- 00:03:09,874

There's something fishy here.

25

00:
03:12,250 -- 00:03:13,540

It is you, Pelle?

26

00:
03:14,166 -- 00:03:15,207

Are you alone?

27

00:
03:17,666 -- 00:03:19,457

Get him!

28

00:
03:20,041 -- 00:03:21,915

I am overwhelmed!

29

00:
03:23,583 -- 00:03:24,415

Attention!

30

00:
03:24,916 -- 00:03:27,290

You're my new weapon, Pelle.

31

00:
03:31,625 -- 00:03:32,957

- Hang your clothes.

- I have to go to the bathroom.

32

00:
03:33,625 -- 00:03:34,624

Now!

33

00:
03:34,791 -- 00:03:36,207

- Pee or poo?

- Poo.

34

00:
03:36,375 -- 00:03:39,707

Okay, so you must help Lucas.

35

00:
03:40,041 -- 00:03:42,124

Lucas, will you?

36

00:
03:43,208 -- 00:03:45,082

He must undress.

37

00:
03:45,666 -- 00:03:47,540

It is a good idea to jump?

38

00:
03:59,375 -- 00:04:01,415

- I'm done.

- This is good.

39

00:
04:02,208 -- 00:04:03,168

You don't need any help?

40

00:
04:03,791 -- 00:04:04,874

Wipe me.

41

00:
04:06,916 -- 00:04:08,874

Hey, watch your mouth.

42

00:
04:09,541 -- 00:04:10,499

Get down.

43

00:
04:12,333 -- 00:04:13,457

Lather yourself up.

44

00:
04:17,625 -- 00:04:18,582

Come!

45

00:
04:22,333 -- 00:04:23,415

Hello, Klara.

46

00:
04:24,750 -- 00:04:25,832

Is everything OK?

47

00:
04:26,250 -- 00:04:27,415

I'm lost.

48

00:
04:28,833 -- 00:04:30,915

Really? Where are your Mom and Dad?

49

00:
04:31,750 -- 00:04:32,999

Home.

50

00:
04:33,375 -- 00:04:35,499

I forgot to look where I was going

51

00:
04:35,916 -- 00:04:38,290

and I found myself here.

52

00:
04:39,333 -- 00:04:40,773

You still not allowing yourself to touch

the lines on the ground?

53

00:
04:43,166 -- 00:04:45,415

So you can't look up and

down at the same time?

54

00:
04:46,291 -- 00:04:48,707

No, so I haven't learn to

remember the way.

55

00:
04:50,208 -- 00:04:51,624

That's annoying.

56

00:
04:53,708 -- 00:04:55,624

I know the way.

57

00:
04:55,791 -- 00:04:57,374

I'll walk with you.

58

00:
04:58,833 -- 00:05:00,832

I watch the road.

You watch the way.

59

00:
05:01,750 -- 00:05:03,790

I will.

60

00:
05:04,625 -- 00:05:07,374

- Fanny is coming too?

- Yes, of course.

61

00:
05:07,833 -- 00:05:09,540

That way, she will protect us.

62

00:
05:13,208 -- 00:05:14,999

What's your favorite dish?

63

00:
05:16,166 -- 00:05:18,332

Undoubtedly, it's venison.

64

00:
05:18,791 -- 00:05:20,832

Me, it's fish sticks.

65

00:
05:21,666 -- 00:05:23,915

Why are you working in our

kindergarten?

66

00:
05:24,083 -- 00:05:27,999

Before, I was your brother's

teacher in school,

67

00:
05:28,166 -- 00:05:30,082

but it was closed.

68

00:
05:32,416 -- 00:05:36,624

My dad says you're sad because

you live alone in a big house.

69

00:
05:37,666 -- 00:05:38,790

He said that?

70

00:
05:39,875 -- 00:05:42,165

"Keep your head up"

71

00:
05:42,458 -- 00:05:44,249

"And down to earth."

72

00:
05:44,416 -- 00:05:47,790

"If you sulk,

you'll get a kick in the ass."

73

00:
05:51,750 -- 00:05:52,665

Your father said that?

74

00:
05:53,625 -- 00:05:55,499

"A kick in the ass."

75

00:
05:56,541 -- 00:05:59,332

Can I come by your house to walk Fanny?

76

00:
05:59,791 -- 00:06:01,624

Anytime you want.

77

00:
06:02,291 -- 00:06:04,915

Try calling her.

78

00:
06:05,333 -- 00:06:06,249

Fanny!

79

00:
06:06,958 -- 00:06:08,082

Louder.

80

00:
06:11,291 -- 00:06:12,124

Fanny! Come here!

81

00:
06:13,166 -- 00:06:15,457

- Klara, where were you?

- At the supermarket.

82

00:
06:15,750 -- 00:06:17,290

I found her there.

83

00:
06:17,708 -- 00:06:18,624

Sweetie,

84

00:
06:18,791 -- 00:06:21,249

I've already told you not

to run away from the house.

85

00:
06:21,416 -- 00:06:22,457

I'm sorry.

86

00:
06:23,291 -- 00:06:24,790

- Coffee?

- Fanny, come down.

87

00:
06:26,125 -- 00:06:27,457

God dammit.

88

00:
06:28,291 -- 00:06:29,540

Go to your room.

89

00:
06:30,791 -- 00:06:33,290

Look what I found

in the gutter.

90

00:
06:33,625 -- 00:06:34,457

Hi, Lucas.

91

00:
06:34,625 -- 00:06:35,665

Hello, Agnes.

92

00:
06:37,291 -- 00:06:38,624

You're a good dog, you!

93

00:
06:39,833 -- 00:06:40,457

Hi, honey.

94

00:
06:41,625 -- 00:06:43,082

You haven't stored it,

95

00:
06:43,750 -- 00:06:45,790

as you promised me.

96

00:
06:46,041 -- 00:06:48,040

He also

lets you hang your rifle?

97

00:
06:49,083 -- 00:06:50,540

My rifle?

98

00:
06:51,416 -- 00:06:53,915

This is not a rifle.

This is a gun.

99

00:
06:54,083 -- 00:06:55,207

Torsten!

100

00:
06:59,250 -- 00:07:01,499

Girl, get ready.

101

00:
07:01,916 -- 00:07:04,707

We are going out to buy soccer shoes.

102

00:
07:05,125 -- 00:07:06,874

Do not touch the pie.

103

00:
07:07,041 -- 00:07:08,707

Hands off!

104

00:
07:08,916 -- 00:07:10,332

I want to find it untouched when

I get back.

105

00:
07:10,500 -- 00:07:11,582

Torsten, you coming?

106

00:
07:14,041 -- 00:07:15,582

Drop in for dinner one of these days.

107

00:
07:16,125 -- 00:07:18,790

We'll have lasagna.

108

00:
07:19,375 -- 00:07:20,499

Lasagna!

109

00:
07:28,958 -- 00:07:29,874

She'll complain.

110

00:
07:30,166 -- 00:07:31,374

Damn, it's hot!

111

00:
07:31,583 -- 00:07:33,707

It's good, I like it.

112

00:
07:35,166 -- 00:07:38,415

How are you doing with your ex?

113

00:
07:39,125 -- 00:07:40,207

All is well.

114

00:
07:43,750 -- 00:07:45,957

I know when you're lying.

115

00:
07:46,208 -- 00:07:49,624

You blink.

116

00:
07:50,166 -- 00:07:51,082

Really?

117

00:
07:51,416 -- 00:07:52,707

Don't lie to me.

118

00:
07:55,875 -- 00:07:58,749

She let's me see him

every other weekend.

119

00:
07:59,083 -- 00:08:01,957

Called Kirsten.

120

00:
08:02,291 -- 00:08:04,457

Forget the lawyers.

121

00:
08:05,000 -- 00:08:07,040

Shut up, Fanny!
