Troubled Water Page #2

home when your child is ill.

Where is the babysitter

you're trying to contact?

Where is the babysitter

you're trying to contact?

Here's some chocolate milk.

Jens?

- Tickle me like you did before.

- Watch out.

Stop it. Stop.

- I'm not that ill.

- You told your mother you were.

Are you okay?

Stop it.

Jens, let me see. Let me see...

Stop it!

Let me see. Let me see.

I'll just go and open.

I got pregnant as a student.

His father wanted me

to have an abortion.

So I had to make a choice.

- Jens or the father?

- Jens or everything.

My family thought I

had made the wrong decision.

If we had had another bishop

I wouldn't have become a priest.

But Jens' father knows about him.

Doesn't he?

I've often prayed for good things

to come out of Jens' fatherlessness.

Isn't it nave to believe that

good things will come from bad things?

I am nave.

That's why I'm a priest.

I believe in a god whose

existence can't be proven.

But I know that it works.

So you're never in doubt?

I'm in doubt about a middle ground.

It's either one way or the other.

- Thanks for your help.

- I had a good time.

- Here you are.

- Thank you.

- Are you the churchwarden today?

- Yes.

Thomas...

There was a lady here

who wanted to talk to you.

Do you have anything

for which you need to be forgiven?

Was that why she came here?

Who was it?

- The mother?

- Yes.

What should I do? Say I'm sorry?

Yes. Give her a chance to forgive

you so she'll be able to move on.

That's a good suggestion.

Let's leave it at that.

Listen to me.

It wasn't my fault. I don't

need forgiveness for anything.

Well?

What do you want from us?

Is your wife here?

I think she tried to contact me.

I want to you tell her everything.

Then confess it all.

Tell her what really happened.

That you would have taken Isak

away no matter what she'd have done.

And that you drowned him.

It was an accident.

I'm sorry but I don't...

That's wrong.

That's the wrong answer.

You come to my house and

keep denying everything.

I have served a sentence as though

I had murdered him. Now I want to...

...try and create a normal life.

You're not even...

You're not even trying to

admit to what you did.

She's the one who tried

to contact me.

Why do you think she did?

Why do you think she did?

You...

In court all you did

was blame each other.

She needs a confession from you.

That's all we need from you.

An apology at the very least.

Leave us and go straight to hell.

Don't you think people notice?

You'll never be a normal person.

You f***ing bastard!

In the same way he also took

the cup after the supper...

...gave thanks, and gave it to

them and said

"Take, and drink of it, all of you. "

This is the Body of Christ.

This is the Body of Christ.

This is the Body of Christ.

This is the Body of Christ.

This is the Body of Christ.

This is the Body of Christ.

This is the Blood of Christ.

The crucified

and resurrected Jesus Christ...

...has now given us

His holy Body and Blood...

...which He gave to expiate

us from our sins.

He gives us the courage to live...

...and the courage to believe.

Peace be with you.

Sometimes Jens reminds me more of

what I don't have than what I have.

According to them, I haven't

done anything right.

Life never turns out

the way you expect it to.

It sure doesn't.

I remember...

...when I was younger.

A boy in our

neighborhood disappeared.

The mother had taken

him out with his pram...

...and left him outside of a caf.

She had gone in...

...and when she came out...

...he wasn't there...

...anymore.

It turned out there were

two older boys who had...

...taken him away to play with him.

But I remember that.

Those two boys.

It was very gruesome.

They murdered him.

Jens reminds of that boy.

And all that happened.

I need you.

Jens likes you so much.

I just don't want to

involve Jens in anything that...

I just need to know what you think.

I think you're amazing.

I think Jens is amazing.

He was so happy

to hear that you're coming.

Jens, look who came to pick you up.

Hi!

His bag is inside.

- Good bye, Jens.

I forgot a drawing that

I was going to give to mom.

- Is it inside the daycare center?

- Yes.

- Can't you get it tomorrow?

- No, I have to do it now.

- Come on.

- I want to stay and watch the bike.

Hold on to that.

And watch your bag too.

There are names on the underside.

Here it is.

Thank you. Good bye.

Jens?

Have you seen the boy

that sat on the bicycle?

Jens!

- What are you doing?

- I'm calling his mother.

Wait before you do that.

Wait before you do that. Please.

- Can I help you?

- I'm looking for a little boy.

Did somebody move him?

Yes, Isak, he was...

He was in his pram.

Isak?

Isak!

Isak!

- He can't have gone far.

- But was somebody here?

Has anybody seen...

There was a pram there. -Isak!

I can't find my son.

I just went into the caf.

I was going to buy some chocolate.

Isak!

One, two, three!

- Surprise!

- Yes, really! But why?

- He hasn't told yet.

- I got a job. In Denmark.

- In Denmark?

- Look what I've found.

Look at the house we can rent.

It's hardly an hour from your

parents. What do you think?

Yes, but...

It's only for two years.

We'll rent this place out.

Show of hands. Who wants to move?

Do we have to move?

Selma... honey...

Daddy just wanted

to surprise us.

Come on then.

There...

Sleep well. Good night.

- Good night.

- Good night.

I think they're asleep now.

Sit down.

Sorry.

It was just an opportunity...

...that suddenly came up.

I tried with a surprise.

I'd thought you'd be overjoyed.

Did you agree to it?

You agreed to it

without consulting me?

Don't you trust me?

It's for two years.

We have to think about

other things than your work.

You've talked about Denmark.

You wanted to be closer to your parents.

It's nice over there and we could...

...be happy.

I'm not in on this,

definitely not in.

It is an amazing house.

Stop here.

Before we enter I need to

remind you to behave here.

Right? We're very lucky

to get a guided tour.

Frederik...

- What is this?

Is anybody here not baptized?

And you others?

Do you remember your baptism?

What do you know. Usually

we pour the water on the child's head.

If you drink it,

it will act a lot faster.

In the Old Testament, it says

that water gives life.

Thomas!

This is our new organist.

Couldn't you play us something?

Show them good some church music.

Bravo, Thomas!

Is something wrong?

No.

- Is the organist really called Thomas?

- Yes. Why?

- Not Jan?

- Jan? No.

- Sorry. Thank you for the tour.

- The pleasure was all mine.

- Hi. How was your field trip?

- It went well.

- Do you think my class can go too?

- Yes, I think so.

- Is the hallway free?

- Yes, I think so.

- Then you can do as usual.

- Thanks.

I think we should do it.

- What did you say?

- I said I want to move.

- Wasn't that what you wanted?

- Yes, it was.

- What about the kids Selma?
