- What have you got there? - Nothing.
Nothing? If is nothing, you won't mind if I take a look at it.
No!
Mum, you can't do that!
Elias, this is a knife.
Have you been lying to me and to the police?
- Have you completely lost your mind? - No.
- What the fuck is going on? - Nothing.
Nothing?
- Hi. - Hi.
Sorry for barging in, but I want to talk to you. Do you have a minute?
Sure. Come on in.
Christian.
What the hell were you thinking? Stabbing someone with a knife?
Are you trying to ruin your life completely? Look at me.
Look at me, Christian. Look at me.
Christian, you know I love you, but this isn't easy for me either.
But we have to be able to talk to each other.
Did you kiss her?
Did you kiss Elias's mum?
Why would you say something like that?
You want to, I can tell. And she wants to, too.
You know what? You won't accomplish anything by behaving like this.
- You said we should talk. - Stop it. Right now.
And stop thinking and saying such nonsense.
- Is not nonsense! - Is complete nonsense.
- Is that why you're angry with me? - I'm not angry with you.
You're just a big, fat liar!
Mum knew you were lying. Everybody knows you're lying!
You know what, Christian?
If Mum could see you now,
she'd be really unhappy to see how you turned out.
Why do you feel the need to say such vicious, horrible things?
- What the fuck did I do to you? - I don't care who you're kissing.
Just don't tell me What's right and What's wrong.
You know what? This is wrong. And is illegal.
And you're never bringing a knife to school again. Never.
Do you understand? Never!
You wanted her to die.
- No. - Yes, you did!
You can't justify it by saying that it was better for her to rest in peace
and all that crap you all say.
She didn't want to die, and you gave up. And I don't like people who give up, OK?
Christian.
- Hi, Sofus. - See you later.
- Have a nice day. - Yes. See you. Bye.
I didn't tell anyone. My mum found the knife and she flipped.
Don't you believe me?
Just leave me alone! I don't want to talk to you.
And don't send me any more text messages.
Elias.
- Hi. - Hi, Dad.
Hi, sweetie. Is so good to see you.
Did we arrange to talk to each other today?
- No, but I just wanted to talk to you. - I...
We've been so busy today, so I'm a bit confused. I didn't know
if we'd planned to talk today.
Christian, right?
His granddad died a long time ago.
He had some fireworks out in the barn,
and no one noticed them.
Dad, can you hear me?
I've got something really, really, really important to tell you.
Christian built a bomb and he's going to blow up a car.
Hello?
Dad?
I'm here.
I wonder if we should...
Is been so stressful here today, Elias,
so could we talk tomorrow at the same time instead?
Would that...
Are you OK? You seem a lot weirder than usual.
Is OK. I'm fine. Everything's great.
Can I talk to you tomorrow instead? I have to go now.
- OK? - Yes. OK, Dad.
OK, kiddo. I love you. Kisses.
Come on.
I'm in.
I want to make that bomb.
Les blow up that bastards car.
I think you're right. He deserves it.
Come on. Class is starting.
What about the other cars next to it?
The ones right next to it will take a bit of a battering.
A lot of windows will get broken.
And what if someone passes by?
- That won't happen. - And how do you know?
Because we'll do it early in the morning.
If we do it on Sunday while everyone is asleep, nothing will happen.
But I have football practice then.
Not at seven o'clock in the morning.
- You're being a chicken again. - No, I'm not.
You can't back out. We're doing this.
Yes. Yes, of course.
OK, hold the fuse.
Are you done playing computer games?
If I died, would you still be living here?
Pardon? I don't want to fight with you. Don't look at me like that.
You're not going to die.
- It could happen. - No, it couldn't.
You never know. Would you move back to London,
or would you stay here at Grandmother's?
I'd be so miserable, I wouldn't want to live anywhere.
Of course you would. You'd be living somewhere even though I was gone.
Why won't you ever answer any of my questions?
What do you want me to say?
As if you would be homeless if I died. that's a lie, too.
- Why do you always lie? - Listen, this is madness.
And stop accusing me of lying all the time, because I don't lie.
I have never, ever lied to you. I haven't. Look at me.
You said that Mum would get well again! And you also said she wasn't in pain!
Don't you think I'm as upset about these things as you are?
No, I honestly don't. You wanted her to die.
I know you did. Why don't you just admit it? You wanted her to die!
OK.
Is true. I wanted her to die.
In the end.
Because she wanted to.
I couldn't take it any more, and neither could she.
She was screaming in pain every day, and her brain was eaten up by cancer.
That was why. She asked me so many times to help her do it.
I couldn't because I knew how sad that would make you.
And if that's giving up, then, you know what? I did it. I gave up.
But you know what? that's not the same as wanting her to die. Is not, OK?
Christian.
Are you sure we should be doing this?
Yes.
You've made a bigger one.
Come on.
OK. We've got about a minute before it blows.
We'll walk quietly back to our bicycles.
OK.
Don't look back.
- No! - What is it?
- Elias! - Stop!
- Elias! - Run! Get back! There's a bomb!
No!
Elias! Fuck! Call an ambulance!
Call an ambulance!
Elias. Elias!
Elias!
What do you have for us?
- Elias, 12. He blew up a car. - No!
- What happened to him? - Elias!
His breathing is stable but his circulatory system has been affected.
I need someone to take care of the mother.
He has a large open wound in his stomach.
Yes.
Yes. Are there any other injuries?
Stay here.
We have to wrap the abdomen in tissues and examine him thoroughly.
Listen, Christian. There's no doubt that what you've done is bad.
But if anyone else is involved, then that's a whole other story.
And I have to make sure about that. Do you understand?
- I did it all by myself. - Together with Elias?
It was my idea. He just did what I told him to.
I was the one in charge.
So you haven't been talking to anyone online
or gotten any ideas from others?
No. I only visited the web pages I told you about.
Listen. One of my colleagues will come and talk to you,
and he'll ask you about everything again.
What about your other son? How is he?
He's at my mum's. He doesn't know anything.
Actually, I'd like you to stay.
I'd like you to just... be here.
Of course.
Marianne, there's a boy out there named Christian who wants to see Elias.
Is it OK if I send him in?
OK.
How is he?
Why aren't you at the police station?
I've been there. My dad came and picked me up.
Where's your dad now?
I'd like to see Elias in private.
I don't want you here. Understand?
You've killed him, you little psychopath!
You've killed him.
I have?
Just stay away, OK? Just stay away.
You've killed him because you're such a spoiled little brat
who thinks he can control other people's lives.
I don't want you here!
that's enough. Stop. Come on.
Marianne, we've got the results of the CAT scan.
No brain hemorrhages. Minimal amounts of free fluid on the pelvis,
most likely sequelae after the surgery.
And no suspicion of dislocation.
Thanks.
I don't have any further questions. Thanks for your cooperation.
- What's going to happen to them now? - I can't tell you exactly. I can't.
- Can they take him away from us? - I don't think so.
There are extenuating circumstances that should be taken into consideration.
They will probably call it malicious damage,
then the social services will take over.
Plus, your son did save those people.
- I hope he gets better soon. - Thank you.
Elias?
Good.
I'll remove this now.
Look who's here.
Hi.
- I'm sorry. - Honey...
Don't be mad at Christian.
Later.
We'll talk about that later.
It was my fault. It was me who wanted to do it.
I talked Christian into doing it.
We'll talk about it later. You just rest now.
What the hell got into them?
I don't know.
He'll be alright.
- He'll be completely fine. - Yes.
I'll drive you home and then I'll go to the summer house.
I don't know what to do.
Eva said that he was going to hate me.
Do you think he hates me?
She was so cruel towards the end.
She was... so very cruel.
Bitter.
I don't know what to do to make it all alright again.
He's my little boy, isn't he?
Yes?
- Is this Marianne? - Yes.
- Hi, Marianne, is Claus. - Claus?
Christian's dad. Sorry to call so late. You were asleep. I can't find Christian.
I've looked everywhere. I can't find him.
I thought he might have gone to your place.
No, he's not here.
What was that about?
That was Christian's dad. Christian's missing.
Missing?
It was me who called.
I went over to the shop over there.
I looked over there, but he's not there.
Christian!
Christian.
Is Elias's dad. Christian.
Step away from the edge.
Christian?
Step away from the edge, Christian.
Elias is going to be fine.
He's going to be alright.
Do you think I'd even be here if Elias wasn't going to be fine?
Don't you think I would be by his side?
He's going to be fine.
Trust me.
So I didn't kill him?
No.
I thought he was dead.
He's alive.
And he's going to be just fine.
I couldn't picture him.
I don't know if children look younger, as well.
When they're dead?
Grown-ups look like little children when they're dead.
My mum did, anyway. She looked like a little girl.
As if she'd never grown-up.
As if she'd never been my mum.
I miss her so much.
Sometimes is like there's a veil between you and death.
And that veil is pulled away when you...
...when you lose someone near and dear to you.
And then you see death ever so clearly for just a second.
And then the veil falls back into place.
And then you move on. And things get better.
You think so?
Christian?
Is Elias's mum. She's in the hallway and she wants to talk to you.
Stop it! Stop!
Is not funny. Stop it!
Quit it!
- Morten, stop. - Ten places.
that's enough. Les just take it easy now.
- Don't do that. - Here.
- Hi, honey. - Mum, Morten is annoying me.
Morten. Are you OK?
- He can't do anything about it. Look. - Stop it!
Les leave your brother alone. We'll go to a café.
- I want a Coke. - Yes. You can have a small Coke.
- I want a large one. - Haven't you already had one?
Yes, but I want one more.
Doesn't it hurt?
No. They gave me these pills.
I told the police exactly how it happened.
Me, too.
Is weird because I've slept for days, but I'm still tired.
I want to apologize.
- There's no need for that. - Yes, there is.
I was an idiot.
Is OK.
I'm looking forward to you getting back to school.
Me, too.
