Uno Page #3

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.

I just came from the funeral.

What is it with you, Morten?

What is it?!

- Say something!

- What do you want me to say?

You left me alone!

Watched me get beat up!

You expect me to stop Jarle, the

father of the guy you ratted out?

- I needed my friends!

- You squealed!

- You've known me your whole life.

- You squealed.

- My father was dying!

- I didn't know about that!

You should have supported me, -

- instead of following

some stupid, worthless code!

What's important to you?

To be on the best team.

You have always

cheered for the winning team.

You think and say

the same as everyone else.

And then you run

when things get important.

Don't push me, Morten.

Not today.

David!

David!

Let go!

Easy!

Easy, easy...

Good boy.

There you go.

Easy...

Good boy.

- Kjetil, take the dog.

- I don't want to.

- No...

- Take him to our room.

Shut the door.

Kjetil?

Kjetil!

Sorry, David.

OK?

I didn't know... about your father.

I would have acted differently.

Sorry I'm such a chicken.

I know I'm like that.

Why did it take you so long

to say you're sorry?

Sorry.

I'm tired of running.

I don't want to... walk around -

- being scared

of things... anymore...

I'm so ready to get rid of

all the bullshit around me.

You know?

How?

Let's start

by cleaning this mess up.

Then I'm returning this.

And then I'm returning some gym keys

I can't wait to get rid of.

- Need a buddy?

- Not one that runs away.

OK?

- Can we play?

- You don't know how.

I need to take Morten

to the emergency room.

The dog bit him.

He needs a tetanus shot.

OK?

- I'm sorry.

- Work things out with Morten.

You and Morten need to

figure this out on your own.

I don't want it anywhere near me.

We can talk if you want.

Ask me whatever you want. But I am

tired of having to fix everything.

- You understand me?

- Yes.

- David?

- Yes?

Uno.

- I'll be back soon.

- OK.

Khuram is on his way.

- I can take the keys to the gym.

- No, I'll come with you.

Hi.

- Are you here with Morten?

- Yes.

What are you doing?

Don't do that in here.

- I need the dog back.

- No, you don't.

The dog is mine. I gave you 8000

for it. I owe you the last 2000.

- That wasn't dog money.

- Talk to Jarle or Lars.

All I owe you for is the dog.

If you have a problem with that,

you can go to hell, OK?

Morten and I don't want

anything more to do with you.

- Outside.

- Listen to me, Khuram...

- Let's go.

- No.

You're coming outside.

Hello?

What the hell...?

What's going on here?

- It's Khuram.

- Get out of here.

- We can't go back outside.

- I'm not talking to you.

David, I want you out of here.

- There are 20 Pakis out there.

- You can stay. David has to go.

Lars!

Come down here!

Go outside, Lars.

Morten?

So I'm finished?

Yes, you're finished.

You can't touch me.
