Beforeigners (2019) s01e01 Episode Script
Episode 1
1 -Are you going to jump? Do it! -It's your turn! -Hang on a second.
-It's not even that high! -There's something in the water.
-Like what? -Excuses? -Where? -Right there! I'm not joking! -There's nothing there! -Oh, fuck! -Jesus! -Oh my God.
-Yeah, it's nice.
-It's incredible.
-Yeah.
Would you like a cup of tea? I'm good, thanks.
My extra shift's about to start.
I'll just sign the contract and get on my way.
-As long as the missus is happy? -Very happy.
Okay.
-What's wrong? -Nothing, it's just a lot of money.
No need to worry.
Buying property in the city center is a safe investment.
You'll be fine.
-Sierra two-zero, over.
-Excuse me.
Sierra two-zero.
-Were you the one who called this in? -Yes.
They're over here.
They just appeared in the water.
I have no idea where they came from.
One of them almost drowned.
Okay.
Let's stay nice and calm, all right? We're here to help you.
Calm down.
Here are some blankets, so you can keep warm.
Here you go.
-I found someone who speaks Icelandic.
-But I've only got two minutes.
It's better than nothing.
Do you understand them? Hi, my name is Sveinbjørn.
Where do you come from? Sorry, can you slow down a bit? Where are you from? -They're definitely not Icelandic.
-Really? They speak some sort of Old Norse.
I don't understand all of it.
But they appear to think that they're from the past.
Okay.
Hi.
Put me through to psychiatric emergency services, please.
What can you tell us about the situation? It is the same as we've just seen I'm still here.
The lack of organization indicates authorities were caught off guard.
Are there any signs of the numbers decreasing? We're trying to figure out if this will end soon, or if we've only seen the beginning of a global event.
Thank you, Kelly.
Reports seem to confirm that this is happening all over the world.
There are no official explanations.
Unofficial observations on social media all point in the same direction: That individuals from the past appear Sierra two-zero to zero-one.
Send all your men to the opera house immediately.
Over.
A FEW YEARS LATER It's time for the arrival update.
How was the night? Nice and quiet.
We had a group arrival this morning, but it shouldn't affect boat traffic.
The Directorate's annual report is coming up.
What can you say about the numbers? We have 13,000 arrivals so far this year, which is about the same as last year.
There is still no deviation regarding time periods: All registered arrivals are from the stone age, the Norse era and the 19th century, Thank you to Tore Stokke from the Arrival Directorate.
Dad? a reminder that international arrival numbers -Hi.
Ready? -Yeah.
It reeks of rotten fish from the ventilation system.
If you don't kick them out Hi.
Yes, I will! What? What's wrong? The power outage knocked out my hair dryer.
Does my hair look crazy? No, I think it looks nice.
-Very "Stone Age chic".
-You're hilarious, dad.
Seriously COMMERCIAL PROPERTY FOR REN We interrupt the High Commissioner's statement.
It appears we've had another year without findings from any member country that can shed light on the reasons for the time migrations.
There will now be news for listeners from the 19th century.
Good morning.
-Speak soon.
-Yes.
Bye, now.
-Hi! -There you are, sweetheart! -Hi, sweetie.
Did you have a nice time? -Yes.
-Hi.
-Welcome! This is zero-one, we have a potential DDA on Tjuvholmen, over.
I'm on my way.
A female beforeigner has washed ashore.
Let's call it "drowned" and go to lunch.
That's all the information you need.
Hi.
Police.
Were you the one who found her? -Yes.
-Can you show us where she is, please? This is our twelfth floater this year.
I don't see why we need to register them before the ambulance picks them up.
We've registered eleven, we can handle one more.
-Ready? -Yes.
Just leave your things there.
Oh, you dropped -I'm not sure what this is.
-Thanks.
-Let's do this.
-Okay.
Today's a big day for our division.
I'm proud to introduce you to our first employee with a multi-temporal background.
Please welcome Alvfrid Enginnsdottir.
Alfhildr.
Of course.
"A beloved child has many names", as they say.
Anyway, I'm sure Alvilde's extensive experience will provide us - with interesting perspectives.
-I am a certified police officer, - in case anyone was wondering.
-Of course.
Anyway There's cake! Is it just me, or is the ocean air making you crave sushi? Let's get the form done before we think about lunch.
"Deceased During Arrival" or "Jumper"? Her hair and nails don't appear to have been cut with scissors.
These are bitten.
DDA.
Her tattoos look prehistoric.
The log says there was a flash at 4 AM.
That matches the time she floated ashore.
-Enter that as her TOA.
-Not bad, Poirot.
"Cause of death" is drowning.
We submit the form and let the ambulance service take over.
For fuck's sake, what's the matter? -Tango two-one to U05.
-U05 responds.
DDA at Sørenga with onlookers and possible trouble.
-Requesting assistance.
-How much do you need? Forensics confirmed that what I found were petechiae.
Congrats.
I guess I won't make it to bridge tonight.
But that doesn't necessarily rule out drowning as the cause of death? There were petechiae underneath her eyelids, too.
Oh, Haaland You've made a right mess.
We're done here.
-Ah, the journalist's here.
-The journalist? She's from an online newspaper for beforeigners.
Just smile and say you're excited, you'll be fine.
I'm right outside the museum, where a body was found earlier today.
The police have blocked off the area, and I've seen forensics on the scene.
-Are we talking a murder here? -It's too early to say.
The police are secretive.
I've covered many cases with drowned beforeigners, and this is completely different.
-Hi.
-Hey! -What's going on over there? -The management has completely lost it.
Our department's struggling, and they go and hire a beforeigner mascot.
The girl is straight out of the Police Academy.
-Great.
And smile! -Big day.
Big day.
How about one where I pick her up, and she gives a big thumbs up? -That's fine, we've got what we need.
-Okay.
What are your thoughts on the beforeigner woman who was found murdered on Tjuvholmen? Any indications of hate crime? Hate crime.
.
? Where did you hear that the woman was murdered? -Are you taking notes? -You're not familiar with the case.
Does that mean the police doesn't prioritize murders on beforeigners? Of course not.
Please stop writing.
We agreed to an interview with our new employee I will write whatever I find useful.
Honestly! A feel-good story is a feel-good story.
That's an unwritten rule of media relations.
Perhaps you're too inexperienced to know that? I've been a journalist since the 1870s, so I'm not completely green.
Then you're old enough to understand that this interview is over.
-Thank you.
-Thanks.
Harald? The Chief is waiting in the conference room.
She wants to see you and Haaland immediately.
-Hi, Harald.
-Hi.
Hi, Lars.
I hear the Tjuvholmen incident hasn't been ruled a regular drowning.
Turns out it's a bit more complicated.
Forensics think the cause of death is strangulation.
That's not what we need now.
We'll need a senior detective for this.
Who's available? No one, they're all threatening to resign because of the workload.
-I can do it.
-You? -I found her.
-You're on sick leave.
Aren't you being reviewed for chronic drowsiness or something? I'm trying out a new medication.
-I'm ready to increase my workload.
-What kind of medication? I don't remember what it's called.
It's some natural remedy.
Let me be clear: No one doubts your competence as a police officer.
-No? -Our handling of beforeigner cases has been harshly criticized.
Putting someone on sick leave - in charge of a murder case -Despite my health issues -I have an idea.
What if we team Lars up with our most recent addition? Of course! We'd be covered in terms of communication and police expertise.
The department mascot in charge of a murder investigation? I thought you were better than that.
Look at her! She's clearly not qualified.
Where are we going? To the port police, to find those who arrived with the victim.
I never thought I'd be assigned to a murder case on my first day.
I'm a bit overwhelmed myself.
Cool song.
-Is it Bruce Springstones? -Something like that.
OPENING GROUP CALLED "B4" A new member joined the group: TORFINN -Look who it is! Long time, no see.
-Yeah.
-What's going on? -My groin got scratched up.
-Better safe than sorry.
-My God -Were you two working last night? -No, we clocked out at 11 PM.
Why? A beforeigner woman, possibly murdered, was found at Tjuvholmen.
Was there a prehistoric woman in the group last night? Not according to the report.
They were dropped off at the transit reception center.
You could check there.
-Who's this lovely lady? Right.
This is Alfhildr.
-Jeppe and David.
-Alf.
.
? -Alfhildr.
-Alfhildr? Is that Norse? -Yes.
It's my first day.
-Let's go for a cup of mead someday.
I'll give you some input.
About the job, that is.
Sorry, Jeppe almost had his knob torn off.
Almost.
Let me know if the guys from last night's shift have any information.
Think about that cup of mead, Alfhildur! -Alfhildr.
Is it Alfhildur or Alfhildr? -Alfhildr.
Are you coming? I need the papers on the last arrival.
I need them quick, understand? Good.
What do you think? Can you gather the group that arrived last night? Well It's not easy to keep track of people these days.
The arrivals affect our power systems, so we had to ditch the computers and do things the old-fashioned way.
Look at that! The 28th, isn't that today? -Yes, it is.
-So there is a method to the madness.
These came last night.
Some of them are Norse.
-Do you need an interpreter? -It's okay.
I can translate.
We need information about this woman.
We believe she arrived with you.
Does anyone recognize her? Do you know this woman? Was she in the water with you? Do you know this woman? Was she in the water? No.
Okay.
We should ask her as well.
Do you have to? She's heavily medicated.
-I'm afraid we have to.
-Can we ask your daughter as well? -What's she saying? -She saw her in the water.
She says a monster with glowing eyes tried to take her.
Please.
You're out of line.
-Fine.
We'll wrap things up -Wait! Wait.
What are you talking about? Hafgufa.
A sea monster that matches her description.
Please stop.
This is too much.
Please.
Okay.
I think we're done here.
I'm sorry if I said something wrong.
But that girl saw something.
-I could feel it.
-She was clearly psychotic.
-I disagree.
-Okay.
What's your professional opinion? Should we put out a wanted notice for a prehistoric sea monster? Of course not! But life on earth isn't as simple as you might think.
Okay Pull over.
I need to take care of something.
It's that time of the month.
The lady curse.
You do know you can get products from the shop in this millennium? I can't afford that kind of luxury with my student loan.
Hi! -Is this a bad time? -No, I'm just preparing meal time.
-Goat on the menu, perhaps? -Yes.
The janitarian told me to relocate it.
So it will be in stomach.
Do you have my stuff? The center for memory registration is being shut down.
The purpose was to seek out beforeigners that remembered how they got to our time.
But it appears that no timeigrants have memories of the actual time travel.
Does this mean that scientists have given up finding an answer how the beforeigners come to our time? I wouldn't say we've given up, but we've realized that finding an answer to these questions, is proving more difficult than we thought it would be.
-Haaland? -I'm off the clock.
I know you dislike the Hafgufa theory.
But I did some googling.
The web's full of people who've seen strange things in the ocean.
There's one blog in particular, "Paranormal is the new normal".
-It had lots of exciting -You know what? You're right.
I dismissed this way too quickly.
Bring everything you've got on Hafgufa and present it to the team tomorrow.
The whole team? Isn't that a bit soon? They hired you.
They probably value your perspectives.
I'll get Alex to help you make a sketch based on what the girl told you.
-Are you sure? -Of course.
Go for it.
Okay, guys.
Picture time and space as a four-dimensional continuum.
Time migration is presumed to occur when the flashes bring the beforeigners to a dimension where time moves infinitely slower than here.
When they re-emerge after a short while, hundreds of years have passed here.
This is why it's considered impossible to travel back in time.
-Are you're still in on the russebus? -Why do you ask? You have to pay Madde.
The waiting list's really long.
What are you talking about? I already paid! What? Madde says she didn't get any money.
I don't know.
-Ingrid? -Yes? -Do you have five minutes? -Not really.
I have to pay for the russebus.
Right.
That's what we wanted to discuss.
You see, we discovered through social media that the bus has quite a different image than what you described to us.
I talked to the bank and told them not to approve your transfer.
-You can't! It's my money! -You're still a minor.
Have you lost your minds? You know how much your mother and I value truthfulness.
Instead of being contrary, maybe you could tell us something about the bus? -More open-heartedly than last time? -Like the name? I barely remember.
Some boy's name.
"Ben Dover Express" or something.
It's named after a boy? Madeleine picked it.
It's some musician.
Ingrid, just stop.
We know it's not "Ben Dover", but "bend over".
As far as I understand, it insinuates that these girls are easy? I understand it seems kind of lame or sexist, but it's just a cover name! -We'll come up with a new name later! -And that makes it okay? -Yes! -This isn't you, Ingrid! "Be not one thing for a day or two and in a twelve-month something new.
" "Be what you are, complete and whole, not a divided, piecemeal soul.
" I don't have time for this! -Ingrid.
.
! -No! God "Keep day apart from dusk.
" "Remember, life" -"Is an art.
" -"Is an art.
" The Tjuvholmen case is assigned to us.
Lars and Alfhilde will be working exclusively on that.
This means more work for the rest of you.
I hope you can understand.
We're working on the assumption that the Tjuvholmen woman was found murdered just hours after arriving in our time, and that she timeigrated in the series of arrivals logged at 4:08 AM, 4:13 AM and 4:21 AM last night.
Alfhilde, you heard something interesting from a witness? We talked to a girl who recognized the woman.
And that's not all.
She saw a creature in the water, with the woman.
I know there's some scepticism towards alternative thinking in our field but The girl's vision was strong.
I made a sketch of what she saw, with Alex' help.
Sorry, I'm not following.
An individual was seen together with the victim? Not an individual.
As far I can tell, she's talking about a supernatural sea monster.
Right Well, I think we've heard enough.
I'm sorry, but aren't we meant to think outside the box here? Yes, of course, Alfhildr.
But we should stick to the scientific world view of our time.
Yes, Wenche Talk about having the administration fall on their own Viking sword.
HAFGUFA! THANKS FOR MAKING US LAUGH.
ALEX She just left.
Probably needed some fresh air after that screw-up.
EXI I think you got the wrong door, darling.
I don't think so.
Excuse me? Did a woman come in here just now? Tall, with long hair? No, not that I know.
-I'll just wait here for two minutes -You have to order something.
Just normal porridge.
-With sugar and cinnamon.
-We don't serve that.
Cinnamon reduces the flavor of the grains.
Choose your base grain.
Cold oat cream or barley flakes? Don't you recognize me? From the old time, when you were sailing with Olaf the Stout? -Can't say I do.
-I'd better refresh your memory.
We met in Erling Skjalgsson's barn a winter's night some 1007 years ago.
I was 12, and you forced yourself on me in the pigpen.
I think you're mistaking me for someone else.
No, I'm not.
And you can drop the act.
I can see it in your eyes, you remember it, too.
Fine.
But let me tell you something.
This crap they talk about in this day and age, that cock is so bad for young girls That's just bullshit.
The way I remember it, you were pretty wet down there when I did you.
-There you go.
Enjoy.
-Thanks.
Hey! Wait! -What the fuck was that about? -I ran into an old acquaintance.
An old acquaintance? I'm sorry.
I was just going to talk to him.
-I just lost it.
-Okay.
What if he decides to press charges, how will you deal with that? Tell them he tripped on his plate of porridge? Relax.
That man won't set foot in a police station voluntarily.
Right.
But you understand that this is my responsibility? I have to report this.
We can't have officers on the force who are out of control.
-Are you serious? -Yes.
You're a fucking hypocrite! Like you don't have any skeletons in your closet? What do you mean? I was given temproxate when I arrived.
Don't you think I've noticed the smell of the eyedrops? Come on! I spent a week in restraints sweating that shit out.
-I know a temp addict when I see one.
-Temp addict.
.
! Fine! Let's do this your way.
We go back to the station, you report me for police brutality, and I report you for abusing temproxate.
No big deal, you can just pee in a cup, because you're as clean as a whistle.
I'll take you home.
I can see why you might think I'm some kind of addict, but I actually have an illness.
I use temproxate sporadically.
Only for medical purposes.
-Whatever you say.
-Yes.
Is this where you live? I had to leave the student dorm when I got a job.
-This was the cheapest house I found.
-"House" is an exaggeration -Hello? -Hi.
I'm out here.
I let myself in.
Hope you don't mind.
Of course not.
But why aren't you with your mum? I just can't be there right now.
Is there room for me? Tell me what happened.
Mum froze my bank account, so I'll lose my spot on the russebus .
Why did she do that? She thinks the cover name is too crude.
What is it, then? It's kind of lame.
"Ben Dover Express".
Okay Doesn't she know what those buses are called nowadays? That's what I said.
Gregers is behind it.
He can be so strict sometimes.
-Okay.
How much is it? -Quite a lot.
Well We have credit cards in Beefcode, too.
Dad Are you sure? Of course.
Good morning Christiania, this marvellous city that you never leave without having been impregnated by it.
My boss wants me to call you Oslo, but I refuse.
To me, newly awakened grace, you will always be Christiania.
Thanks for my present.
It's already in use! I'm glad to hear it.
I spent half the morning wiping moss off the car.
There'll be no more of that.
It's like having a soft kitty in your underwear.
-Do you know what I'm thinking? -No.
I think your noble gesture towards my womanhood is a sign of you appreciating my company.
I think you're reading too much into a pack of sanitary pads.
"It's in the little things that the big things let themselves be known.
" -What's that? Hávamál? -Oprah Winfrey.
-It's not even that high! -There's something in the water.
-Like what? -Excuses? -Where? -Right there! I'm not joking! -There's nothing there! -Oh, fuck! -Jesus! -Oh my God.
-Yeah, it's nice.
-It's incredible.
-Yeah.
Would you like a cup of tea? I'm good, thanks.
My extra shift's about to start.
I'll just sign the contract and get on my way.
-As long as the missus is happy? -Very happy.
Okay.
-What's wrong? -Nothing, it's just a lot of money.
No need to worry.
Buying property in the city center is a safe investment.
You'll be fine.
-Sierra two-zero, over.

-Better safe than sorry.
-My God -Were you two working last night? -No, we clocked out at 11 PM.
Why? A beforeigner woman, possibly murdered, was found at Tjuvholmen.
Was there a prehistoric woman in the group last night? Not according to the report.
They were dropped off at the transit reception center.
You could check there.
-Who's this lovely lady? Right.
This is Alfhildr.
-Jeppe and David.
-Alf.
.
? -Alfhildr.
-Alfhildr? Is that Norse? -Yes.
It's my first day.
-Let's go for a cup of mead someday.
I'll give you some input.
About the job, that is.
Sorry, Jeppe almost had his knob torn off.
Almost.
Let me know if the guys from last night's shift have any information.
Think about that cup of mead, Alfhildur! -Alfhildr.
Is it Alfhildur or Alfhildr? -Alfhildr.
Are you coming? I need the papers on the last arrival.
I need them quick, understand? Good.
What do you think? Can you gather the group that arrived last night? Well It's not easy to keep track of people these days.
The arrivals affect our power systems, so we had to ditch the computers and do things the old-fashioned way.
Look at that! The 28th, isn't that today? -Yes, it is.
-So there is a method to the madness.
These came last night.
Some of them are Norse.
-Do you need an interpreter? -It's okay.
I can translate.
We need information about this woman.
We believe she arrived with you.
Does anyone recognize her? Do you know this woman? Was she in the water with you? Do you know this woman? Was she in the water? No.
Okay.
We should ask her as well.
Do you have to? She's heavily medicated.
-I'm afraid we have to.
-Can we ask your daughter as well? -What's she saying? -She saw her in the water.
She says a monster with glowing eyes tried to take her.
Please.
You're out of line.
-Fine.
We'll wrap things up -Wait! Wait.
What are you talking about? Hafgufa.
A sea monster that matches her description.
Please stop.
This is too much.
Please.
Okay.
I think we're done here.
I'm sorry if I said something wrong.
But that girl saw something.
-I could feel it.
-She was clearly psychotic.
-I disagree.
-Okay.
What's your professional opinion? Should we put out a wanted notice for a prehistoric sea monster? Of course not! But life on earth isn't as simple as you might think.
Okay Pull over.
I need to take care of something.
It's that time of the month.
The lady curse.
You do know you can get products from the shop in this millennium? I can't afford that kind of luxury with my student loan.
Hi! -Is this a bad time? -No, I'm just preparing meal time.
-Goat on the menu, perhaps? -Yes.
The janitarian told me to relocate it.
So it will be in stomach.
Do you have my stuff? The center for memory registration is being shut down.
The purpose was to seek out beforeigners that remembered how they got to our time.
But it appears that no timeigrants have memories of the actual time travel.
Does this mean that scientists have given up finding an answer how the beforeigners come to our time? I wouldn't say we've given up, but we've realized that finding an answer to these questions, is proving more difficult than we thought it would be.
-Haaland? -I'm off the clock.
I know you dislike the Hafgufa theory.
But I did some googling.
The web's full of people who've seen strange things in the ocean.
There's one blog in particular, "Paranormal is the new normal".
-It had lots of exciting -You know what? You're right.
I dismissed this way too quickly.
Bring everything you've got on Hafgufa and present it to the team tomorrow.
The whole team? Isn't that a bit soon? They hired you.
They probably value your perspectives.
I'll get Alex to help you make a sketch based on what the girl told you.
-Are you sure? -Of course.
Go for it.
Okay, guys.
Picture time and space as a four-dimensional continuum.
Time migration is presumed to occur when the flashes bring the beforeigners to a dimension where time moves infinitely slower than here.
When they re-emerge after a short while, hundreds of years have passed here.
This is why it's considered impossible to travel back in time.
-Are you're still in on the russebus? -Why do you ask? You have to pay Madde.
The waiting list's really long.
What are you talking about? I already paid! What? Madde says she didn't get any money.
I don't know.
-Ingrid? -Yes? -Do you have five minutes? -Not really.
I have to pay for the russebus.
Right.
That's what we wanted to discuss.
You see, we discovered through social media that the bus has quite a different image than what you described to us.
I talked to the bank and told them not to approve your transfer.
-You can't! It's my money! -You're still a minor.
Have you lost your minds? You know how much your mother and I value truthfulness.
Instead of being contrary, maybe you could tell us something about the bus? -More open-heartedly than last time? -Like the name? I barely remember.
Some boy's name.
"Ben Dover Express" or something.
It's named after a boy? Madeleine picked it.
It's some musician.
Ingrid, just stop.
We know it's not "Ben Dover", but "bend over".
As far as I understand, it insinuates that these girls are easy? I understand it seems kind of lame or sexist, but it's just a cover name! -We'll come up with a new name later! -And that makes it okay? -Yes! -This isn't you, Ingrid! "Be not one thing for a day or two and in a twelve-month something new.
" "Be what you are, complete and whole, not a divided, piecemeal soul.
" I don't have time for this! -Ingrid.
.
! -No! God "Keep day apart from dusk.
" "Remember, life" -"Is an art.
" -"Is an art.
" The Tjuvholmen case is assigned to us.
Lars and Alfhilde will be working exclusively on that.
This means more work for the rest of you.
I hope you can understand.
We're working on the assumption that the Tjuvholmen woman was found murdered just hours after arriving in our time, and that she timeigrated in the series of arrivals logged at 4:08 AM, 4:13 AM and 4:21 AM last night.
Alfhilde, you heard something interesting from a witness? We talked to a girl who recognized the woman.
And that's not all.
She saw a creature in the water, with the woman.
I know there's some scepticism towards alternative thinking in our field but The girl's vision was strong.
I made a sketch of what she saw, with Alex' help.
Sorry, I'm not following.
An individual was seen together with the victim? Not an individual.
As far I can tell, she's talking about a supernatural sea monster.
Right Well, I think we've heard enough.
I'm sorry, but aren't we meant to think outside the box here? Yes, of course, Alfhildr.
But we should stick to the scientific world view of our time.
Yes, Wenche Talk about having the administration fall on their own Viking sword.
HAFGUFA! THANKS FOR MAKING US LAUGH.
ALEX She just left.
Probably needed some fresh air after that screw-up.
EXI I think you got the wrong door, darling.
I don't think so.
Excuse me? Did a woman come in here just now? Tall, with long hair? No, not that I know.
-I'll just wait here for two minutes -You have to order something.
Just normal porridge.
-With sugar and cinnamon.
-We don't serve that.
Cinnamon reduces the flavor of the grains.
Choose your base grain.
Cold oat cream or barley flakes? Don't you recognize me? From the old time, when you were sailing with Olaf the Stout? -Can't say I do.
-I'd better refresh your memory.
We met in Erling Skjalgsson's barn a winter's night some 1007 years ago.
I was 12, and you forced yourself on me in the pigpen.
I think you're mistaking me for someone else.
No, I'm not.
And you can drop the act.
I can see it in your eyes, you remember it, too.
Fine.
But let me tell you something.
This crap they talk about in this day and age, that cock is so bad for young girls That's just bullshit.
The way I remember it, you were pretty wet down there when I did you.
-There you go.
Enjoy.
-Thanks.
Hey! Wait! -What the fuck was that about? -I ran into an old acquaintance.
An old acquaintance? I'm sorry.
I was just going to talk to him.
-I just lost it.
-Okay.
What if he decides to press charges, how will you deal with that? Tell them he tripped on his plate of porridge? Relax.
That man won't set foot in a police station voluntarily.
Right.
But you understand that this is my responsibility? I have to report this.
We can't have officers on the force who are out of control.
-Are you serious? -Yes.
You're a fucking hypocrite! Like you don't have any skeletons in your closet? What do you mean? I was given temproxate when I arrived.
Don't you think I've noticed the smell of the eyedrops? Come on! I spent a week in restraints sweating that shit out.
-I know a temp addict when I see one.
-Temp addict.
.
! Fine! Let's do this your way.
We go back to the station, you report me for police brutality, and I report you for abusing temproxate.
No big deal, you can just pee in a cup, because you're as clean as a whistle.
I'll take you home.
I can see why you might think I'm some kind of addict, but I actually have an illness.
I use temproxate sporadically.
Only for medical purposes.
-Whatever you say.
-Yes.
Is this where you live? I had to leave the student dorm when I got a job.
-This was the cheapest house I found.
-"House" is an exaggeration -Hello? -Hi.
I'm out here.
I let myself in.
Hope you don't mind.
Of course not.
But why aren't you with your mum? I just can't be there right now.
Is there room for me? Tell me what happened.
Mum froze my bank account, so I'll lose my spot on the russebus .
Why did she do that? She thinks the cover name is too crude.
What is it, then? It's kind of lame.
"Ben Dover Express".
Okay Doesn't she know what those buses are called nowadays? That's what I said.
Gregers is behind it.
He can be so strict sometimes.
-Okay.
How much is it? -Quite a lot.
Well We have credit cards in Beefcode, too.
Dad Are you sure? Of course.
Good morning Christiania, this marvellous city that you never leave without having been impregnated by it.
My boss wants me to call you Oslo, but I refuse.
To me, newly awakened grace, you will always be Christiania.
Thanks for my present.
It's already in use! I'm glad to hear it.
I spent half the morning wiping moss off the car.
There'll be no more of that.
It's like having a soft kitty in your underwear.
-Do you know what I'm thinking? -No.
I think your noble gesture towards my womanhood is a sign of you appreciating my company.
I think you're reading too much into a pack of sanitary pads.
"It's in the little things that the big things let themselves be known.
" -What's that? Hávamál? -Oprah Winfrey.
