Kamikaze (2021) s01e05 Episode Script
Efterladt bagage
When I was born
Dad was in an important meeting.
In five years we've dropped 40%.
I think that's pretty much.
This indicates a change in behavior.
Thomas. Okay.
Although he hurried
as much as he could
I arrived before him.
Today is Julie's birthday.
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah
Birthdays were a big thing
in our family.
Dad said it was about taking a break
and doing your best.
Dad died at 54.
Mum at 46.
Tom at 23.
I don't have a lot to celebrate now.
I have celebrated my last birthday.
Can you escape your birthday
if you run fast enough?
You can definitely
run yourself to death.
It's not difficult at all.
Even young,
healthy people die occasionally
from pushing their bodies too hard.
Lack of sleep, food and drink
combined with a fast heart rate
and pushing the body
to its limits
brings about a total collapse.
Alfie, wake up. Alfie, wake up!
His breathing has stopped.
Kitta was Dad's colleague.
A brilliant criminal lawyer
and a former police prosecutor
in her prime and an active runner.
She ran one marathon
after the other.
She ran to work and in the woods
in her spare time.
The autopsy established
that Kitta's heart was huge.
The size of an ox heart.
Her worries must have been
equally big,
but Dad never mentioned them.
It's ages since we've seen your father
here. No more business in London?
No, not really.
Say hello to him for me, will you?
Dad always stayed
at the same hotel in London
and ran the same route
every morning.
- Morning, Julie.
- Morning.
It's day five
and I haven't eaten in five days.
I have had nothing to drink
for ten hours.
Exhaustion is a condition
that can kill you.
Just like hunger and thirst.
The extreme conditions
your body is exposed to
cause your vital organs to fail.
In the end
you die.
My dad and I go all in.
Always.
Listen up.
What do you say?
It's past 11 o'clock.
- Let's go.
- Yes.
- Can we skip it today?
- Tom, you are so lazy. Come on.
Come on!
Yes, all right. You got it? Great!
Fuck!
Are you dead?
Not yet.
We deliver.
We deliver.
We deliver.
We are focused. We never quit.
Julie?
- Renate?
- Hi.
- Where is Tom?
- They went ahead to the restaurant.
Sunday lunch.
Has he made an appointment
to get his vaccinations?
- Vaccinations?
- Yes.
For Guatemala.
In a month. For six months.
- I got an "artist residency".
- Congratulations. Cool.
Six months.
What about his exams?
He better explain that himself.
- Let me find him.
- Sure. See you.
See you.
What did Renate say?
That she and Tom are going
to Guatemala for six months.
To realize their art.
I am really trying to understand
this equation of yours.
In your head.
You're throwing away
your entire future
just to get six months
in Guatemala with Renate.
Dad, life is not an equation.
But are you a musician?
Do you want to become one?
- Playing music makes me happy.
- Sure, I understand that.
My son
You're not a musician.
You come from a family
with traditions.
You should carry them with you.
Be proud of and grateful for them.
We keep the wheels turning.
We are the backbone of society.
Look at me!
Another thing that characterises
our family is that we are focused.
We don't give up. We deliver.
If you don't care about your
education you won't get one.
It's that simple.
I'll be by your side, Tom.
I'll help you, Tom. Damn it!
What do you say?
Are we agreed?
Tom.
Are we agreed?
Okay, then I'm going
to cut off your funds.
You won't get your child trust fund
until you turn 22.
I won't pay for your hippie trip
to Guatemala.
I must admit I don't understand
your relationship with Renate.
I understand what she can get from
you, but not the other way around.
Do you think it's love?
Tom did understand.
On my 18th birthday his new
law school girlfriend was invited.
After dinner everyone agreed
it was like Aya had always
been a part of the family.
Cute, here you are
- Julie at 4.
- You can see that it's you.
- Yes, super cute.
- There is Tom.
Where is he?
I don't know.
He might be sleeping.
Now you know
what your children will look like.
- Sweetie.
- We will look forward to that.
We are focused. We don't quit.
We deliver.
We deliver.
Help! Help!
Mister! Hello!
Don't give up.
Dad?
- Dad, is it you?
- Yes, this is your dad.
Shit. You were so young.
- We were looking at baby pictures.
- We also want to see photos of you.
My Marlon Brando period.
My Harley-Davidson.
An XLH 1000 1979 custom build.
- Where was it taken?
- Bayham Street. London. 1984.
I was your age. 19-20.
- I loved it.
- Where is it now?
I sold it.
Why?
I grew up.
My dad ran his entire life.
And I just ran along.
You run until you can't run
any further.
Until the heart stops.
Or until something gets in your way.
Or until someone saves you.
There you are!
We thought you'd gone to bed.
No, I was just getting this.
- Are you giving a concert?
- Yes.
Dear Julie. Dear sister.
There isn't enough music
this evening, and
It's your 18th birthday, so I
would like to play you a song.
I don't remember having a song
on my wish list.
- That's harsh.
- But go ahead.
Sure, but you don't always know
what you need.
You have probably had
a little too much to drink.
This summer I went swimming
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath
And I kicked my feet
And I moved my arms around
I moved my arms around
This summer I swam in the ocean
And I swam in a swimming pool
Salt in my wounds,
chlorine in my eyes
I'm a selfish fucking fool
A selfish fucking fool
Tom got his law degree some months
later with a pretty good average.
Dad gave Tom
a trip to Africa as a present.
Do you know what my problem is, Dad?
That I always fucking agreed with you.
But you were wrong.
You, who was always right.
You, the best and the fastest.
The winner.
Look at us now.
Hey, Julie. Happy birthday.
Krzysztof. How did you know?
I'm drowning here in flowers
and stuff people dropped off, so
Oh, were you in the house
on my 18th birthday?
I was around, working, I think.
No, in the evening when
Tom played a song for me.
Yes. I heard. He was good.
No, it was
"This summer I went swimming,
this summer I might have drowned,"
"but I held my head
and I kicked my feet"
Yeah, the song is called
"The swimming song",
if you want to listen to it.
Okay. I'll check it out.
Where are you now
and what are you doing today?
I don't know because
nothing seems to go as planned.
I will start my first day
as a 19 year old with a shower.
A mysterious girl by the name of Julie
has saved the life of Lord Rory Merek.
Lord Merek, who could have suffered
a fatal heart attack,
is now eager to track down Julie
whose last name is unknown,
fled the scene shortly
after saving his life.
I hope she sees this or somebody
who knows her sees this.
- Your receipt.
- Thanks.
- Is Acapulco your final destination?
- I really hope so.
