Uno

Synopsis: Uno is a story from inner-city Oslo about David, a twentyfive-year-old with few prospects for the future. His days are spent hanging around with petty criminals at an inner-city gym. Still, it's better than home: His father is terminally ill, his brother is mentally handicapped, and he's unable to connect with his mother.But then, as his father is on his deathbed, the gym is raided by the police. David chooses to betray his friends in the hope of reaching his father for a last farewell. But it's too late. With his father dead and his mother grief-stricken, he's also forced to take responsibility for his brother on top of fighting off his former underworld friends. The crisis makes David realize what's truly important in his life: his family. He starts assuming responsibility for both his past and his future. By losing everything, David is given a chance to start over from scratch and rebuild his life.

David?

Sh*t! Put something in front

of the door when you shower!

- Turn off that alarm!

- Want to play?

No.

Don't nag!

- I'll do it when I have time.

- Just hang up the shower curtain.

- Why don't you do it?

- Because you said you would.

Can I have my phone?

Did you take my phone?

Can I have it?

- Give me my phone!

- Kjetil, did you take David's phone?

- Give it to me!

- Give it back.

- Whatever...

- Kjetil, don't do that again.

He's asleep, David.

I mean it!

If you bring some girl to a party

that I think is hot...

The point is:
Never dis your friend.

OK...

- I shouldn't have to tell you this.

- I'm just trying to get your point.

Even if she's not your girlfriend

and you're not interested in her...

- I brought her to the party.

- But just as a friend.

I'd still have to wait until the

next time I met her, to fool around?

Christ!

Pay attention!

You're not listening to me!

- Hi there. Hi, Balder!

- Jarle's waiting for you.

Hi, Balder!

Hey, boy!

- Say hi to Morten.

- No!

Get that dog out of here!

- What are you doing?

- Bye.

You coming?

F***ing dog!

Why'd you do that?

Hey!

You were almost on time today.

Hey.

Everything in the car

needs to be taken inside.

Hiya.

Happy birthday.

What's that?

Lars?

You walking around with a piece now?

- What's your problem?

- Why bring it to the gym?

Stay out of my business.

- This is my job!

- I have every right to be here.

- I know what I'm doing.

- I don't think so!

- What's your problem?

- You are!

You sell steroids

and bring a damn piece to my job!

- Don't get excited.

- Shut your mouth.

- Your Paki friends are here.

- Listen, David...

What's going on here?

Huh?

- Anything else I should know about?

- No.

I see two smart people and an idiot

in here. And the idiot is my son.

Don't you have a job to do?

Check him out.

- And he wants to become a cop.

- He hasn't applied yet.

- Yes, he has.

- Who told you that?

- He told me himself.

- I'm so tired of this sh*t.

- Give me a hand?

- No way.

- I'm going to work in a few hours.

- You're unbelievable!

What an a**hole!

What the...?

- I warned you.

- Looking for a beating?

Lars!

Don't do this.

- Leave it.

- What are you doing?

- He's the one acting up.

- Walk away!

We're twice as many as you.

Leave before something happens.

Hi!

- Is Morten here?

- I think they're on their way.

- Where are you?

- Where are you?

- Are you nearby?

- Do you have a key?

- What?

- Are you talking to me?

- You've got the worst echo...

- Where are you? I'm on my way.

Hello?

- What a nag!

- Where have you been?

It's Lars.

He never showed up for that deal.

Salima!

Were you going to walk right in?

Wait out here.

Hello?

Lars?

- I want to f*** Khuram's sister.

- She's so young.

- Think he'd find out?

- He doesn't even let her outside.

- You think he would find out?

- He'd kill you.

David?

Got a second?

- How much are we talking?

- 50,000.

- So you spent 50,000?

- I didn't spend all of it.

- Is the money here?

- No.

- Is the stuff here?

- Not all of it.

- You sold stuff you didn't have?

- I can give him Deca.

No, he needs Omnadren.

You can't bail out on a deal

and hide in your room.

- Give Khuram his money or his stuff.

- He can get it later.

When I get the rest from Stefan.

On Wednesday.

How much is that worth?

If I give that to Khuram,

you owe him for 40 grand?

And you'll have that on Wednesday?

Yeah...

David, you don't have to do that.

Then what am I doing here?

- Hi.

- Can we talk?

It's only 10 grand worth.

You'll get the rest on Wednesday.

- I ordered for 50.

- He doesn't have the rest yet.

Don't look at me.

I've got nothing to do with it. OK?

You're leaving.

He's waiting for you.

Watch your step.

- Nice cake.

- Thank you.

OK...

Everybody ready?

Happy birthday to you...

- Turn it off. We're watching a film.

- It's a DVD.

We're watching a film.

A movie, right?

You turn off your mobile

at movie theaters, not at home.

I won't dignify this

with a discussion.

Hello?

I need some air.

Then I'll go to work

to tell them I won't be coming in.

F***...

David!

I don't have time for this.

- Have a seat.

- Hey...

- What's going on?

- Direct all your questions at me.

We found cash and steroids.

Know anything about that?

Fine! If no one owns up,

we'll all take a trip down to HQ.

- And nobody wants that.

- I'm not going anywhere with you.

I just found a gun.

I can't stay here.

Do you understand?

Thank you.

- I need to get to the hospital.

- And I have places to be.

- I won't rat.

- Then we'll go back down.

- My dad is sick!

- Just tell me whose this is.

I don't have anything

to do with that!

- Whose is it?

- I don't know!

Then we'll go back downstairs.

- I need to get out of here!

- Then tell me whose that is.

- My father is dying.

- Stop wasting my time!

You keep repeating yourself!

I'm tired of it!

- Just give me a name.

- If I squeal I'm doomed!

Is that clear?!

- Is that clear?

- Yes.

I'm sorry.

Why were the police here?

Do you want to talk about dad?

David...

- Go up to mom, Kjetil.

- Mom's not there.

Wait here, Kjetil.

Just wait here.

Hi...

Is Morten here?

Morten?

Come here.

- Sorry.

- Don't apologize to me.

- Is Lars or Jarle here?

- Lars is in custody.

- What were you thinking?

- Jarle, listen to me.

Jarle, listen...

Listen to me, Jarle.

Just let me explain.

Morten, I need to talk to you!

I want to go home.

Hi...

Morten...

Wait here, Kjetil.

OK?

Morten?

Morten, listen to me.

- I couldn't sit there any longer.

- None of us wanted to sit there!

Morten!

Go away!

I've been thinking

about going back to work.

And I was hoping...

I'll only be taking a few shifts.

But I thought...

I can't bring Kjetil

to work with me.

If you could work a little less,

that would give me more time.

Could you stay with Kjetil

some days?

No.

You have to go to the funeral home

tomorrow. I'll leave you the address.

Come in here and we'll talk.

Too many people out there.

- I don't want any trouble.

- Fine, I'll just listen to you.

I just want to explain,

so that you can understand.

You know dad has had cancer,

and all that, right?

While we were being held

at the station...

I lost my dad that day, Jarle.

What good does that do Lars?

I feel bad for you, but this isn't

about you. It's about my son.

You ruined his life, David.

He had one goal in life:

To become a cop.

I don't give a sh*t

about whether he could have made it.

He may have been too stupid

to see that himself.

But you ruined the only goal he had.

That's what I have to relate to.

Hi.

- Can't we go upstairs?

- I'm just having a chat with David.

I'll be up in a minute.

I can't sit here

and have an opinion about flowers, -

- or what instruments I want

at my father's funeral. I'm sorry.

This is Morten.

Leave a message, and I'll call back.

Mom?

Where are you guys?

David...

Why did you call us?

There are a lot of things
