"MOVING UP" "Good morning." " Good morning, Knud." " Hi, Manfred." "Allow me." "Aggression response." "It was developed when we lived among animals on the plains." "We fought for our lives." "When we're angry or aggressive   we regress to a lower developmental stage." "And we choose fight or flight." "That's all for today." "Remember to hand in your papers next time." "And remember:" "The contents, and only the contents, are important." "Forget about colorful layouts." "Right." "Dismissed." " We're set for the new ass. prof." " Right." "Poul is starting tomorrow." " I hope he'll feel welcome." " Of course." " We studied together." " I know." "He's funny." " He was always in his stocking feet." " That sounds strange." "Well." " I'm closing the door." " Yes." "We regret to inform you that the position as professor has been filled." "I heard." "Have you already heard?" " Sigurdsson got it." " Where the hell did you hear that?" " I talked to Kaj Brudholm." " Why the hell did he tell you that?" " I'm head of administration and ..." " What did he say?" " That they'd chosen Sigurdsson." " Didn't he mention me?" "No." "Nothing worth mentioning." " Nothing worth mentioning?" " He's impressed by your articles." "But?" "He still doesn't think you're professorial." " Why not?" " I don't know." "I don't know." "He used the word 'colorless'." "Colorless?" "Do you have to be a drunk to be interesting?" " Do you have to be a drunk?" " Stop it." "You're very talented." "You know that." "Manfred, you're not like all the others." " That's what I like about you." " But that's not the point." "It doesn't matter what I am, or what I am not." "It's all about being in the limelight, being pushy   and sucking up to the right people." "Hey!" "Let me through!" "Don't you know what a bell means?" " I think you're taking it well." " What?" "It's not easy being rejected like that." "That's not how I see it." " Then how do you see it?" " I wasn't meant to go to Aarhus." " How's that?" " I'm not a careerist." "You've always wanted to be a professor." "It's just a title." "They're a bunch of narcissists." "I'm not like that." "I have different values." "If I were a professor, we wouldn't have much time together." "And that's why " " I've decided not to go to the conference in Aarhus." "Oh, no." "Why?" "It's all small talk and brownnosing." "It's so superficial." "It's usually fun." "I'm going." "We could've had a nice weekend." " Can't you stay in Copenhagen?" " No, I have to talk to some people." "I see." "It's a very popular event." "It's overbooked." "I know." "I've been to several of them, and I don't think I'm missing anything." " Then I'll give your place away." " Fine." "Let someone else benefit." " Now your name has been deleted." " Good." "Eva!" "Yes?" " Have you seen my extension cord?" " Sorry, I forgot." " Gundesboll borrowed it." " He borrowed it?" " Why?" "He has his own." " He said his was too short." " For what?" " I don't know." "Gundesboll?" "I heard you took my cord ..." " Here you go." " Thanks, Knud." "What the hell was he thinking?" " He must have been miserable." " Who isn't?" " But we don't hang ourselves at work." " We had no idea he was suicidal." " It's extremely alarming." " Making that statement was alarming." " Statement?" " Now he wants me to feel guilty." " He's punishing me." " I don't think so." "Yes?" "Come in, Therese." " How are you, Manfred?" " Okay." "Knud, he left this on his desk." ""To Knud."" ""Dear Knud." "I've let you and the department down."" ""I can't live with myself anymore." Yes, we realize that." ""Please extend my apologies to Professor Pjotr Levski in Prague."" "I don't fucking believe this." " What does it say?" " I don't fucking believe this." " Knud, what is it?" " I don't fucking believe this." " He cribbed his articles." " What?" "First there was Niels Jensen's little trick with his doctorate." "Then Mogens Mogensen's affairs with clients, and now this." "I work my butt off here   and now I'll be reprimanded by the vice chancellor." "It's not fair." "The vice chancellor called this morning." " Is he still angry?" " Rather." "Be glad you're an ass. prof." " And not head of the department." " Is it that bad?" "Sometimes I feel more like a dustman than a psychologist." "Knud." "Let me know if there's anything I can do." "You can behave yourself." "I can't take any more scandals." "Of course." "Depression." "A state of mind characterized by a low vocal pitch   insomnia, lack of energy and severe self-recrimination." "Any questions or comments?" " Yes, Kasper?" " I was wondering ..." "I have no idea." " What do you think?" " I don't wallow in tragedies." "And neither should you." "Please hand in your papers." " Shouldn't you talk to someone?" " No, that's not necessary." " Are you sure?" " I'm fine." "How about going to my place, hanging out tonight?" " Okay." "That's fine." " I'd like that." "Manfred." "Can I ask you a question?" "Are you going to apply for the job?" "The professorship?" "Gundesboll's professorship?" " The man just ..." " You're an obvious choice." "But ..." "What?" "Can I help you?" "It's me." "Don't you recognize me?" "Poul." "I'll be damned." "Manfred." " How are you?" " Fine." "Fine." " How about you?" " I'm good." "Fantastic." "Berkeley is a fantastic university." "Amazing." " I thought you went to Iowa." " I did at first." "Then I was at UCLA, and I was at Harvard, too." "As a guest lecturer." " Why did you come home?" " My wife, Marianne, wanted to." " Also for our daughter's sake." " How old is she?" "Five." " That's cute." " She is cute." "Do you have kids?" " No, not yet." " You?" " No, me neither." " Get going." " It's absolutely fantastic." " Some people say so." " Are you glad to be back?" " Very much so." "Everything's much more simple here." " Competition is rough in the US." " And there are more competitors." "Won't there be a lack of challenges here?" "Not right away." "I also have a report to finish." " What kind of report?" " It's for the Ministry of Health." "It might be published internationally." "It's fantastic." "Oxford is interested." "Sorry." "Something got caught ..." "Thanks, Poul." "In the back of my throat." "What do you think of him?" "He's nice." "And funny." " Hi." " Hi." " Do you need any help?" " No thanks." "Is it that bad, Knud?" "Yes." "After the supervisory committee heard about Gundesboll   they chose to put us under close supervision." " What does that mean?" " That the vice chancellor is furious." " I'm sorry to hear that." " He demands a plan of action." "We have to reestablish our credibility   and prove that we take the situation seriously." "Of course." "I thought you'd like to make a suggestion   for that plan of action." "I'd like to hear your ideas." " Give it some thought." " I certainly will." "We need more of your kind here." "Why did I hire Gundesboll?" "I should have seen through him." "I won't make that mistake again." " Can I ask you a question?" " Yes." "Are you applying for the professorship?" " Gundesboll's?" " Yes." " I haven't thought about it." " I promise you ..." "Make a good plan of action." "Then I'll look ..." "How should I put it?" "I'll look favorably on your application." "I have a lot of clout." "The dean follows my lead." " I didn't know that." " Oh, yes." "The question is whether you're ready." "I'll look forward to your plan of action." "And Manfred ..." " This talk is strictly confidential." " That goes without saying, Knud." "Knock, knock." "Come in, Manfred." " Would the ass. prof. like a coffee?" " How nice of you." "Thanks." " You haven't wasted any time." " No." " I haven't." "I've been busy." " Yes." " Are you still working on bulimia?" " No." "It's been cutters lately." " Yuck." " I'm doing a survey for the Ministry." " So you said." " Right." "Sorry." "Take a look at this." "I've done over 500 interviews." "I had two assistants." "It took over two years to collect the data." "This is the most comprehensive survey of its kind in the world." "That's ..." "When does the report have to be done?" " In three weeks, so ..." " Interesting." "There's plenty to do." "What about you?" "Depression, right?" "Yes." "The last few years I've worked on a big project on tackling anger." " Anger management." " Sort of." "I have my own method." "Let me know if you need articles." "I have a huge network in the US." " It's at your disposal." "Let me know." " That sounds great." " We should help each other." " I really think so." " Are you set on returning to the US?" " No." "I don't think so." "I see." "I'd prefer a professorship here in Copenhagen." " Yes." " That's all we dream about, right?" "Nah." "You can't count on it." "You can't base your life on it." " What about the dead professor?" " Gundesboll?" " Yes." "It's sad." " His position has been advertised." " I didn't know." " It's right here." "Take a look." " Yes, so it is." " Are you going to apply?" "No, I don't think so." "I don't think so." "No, I don't think so." "Well, see you later." " Thanks for the coffee." " You're welcome." "We were having coffee and talking." "We haven't seen each other for ages, so he talked about America   and I talked about my projects." "Then he shows me pictures of cutters." "Suddenly, out of the blue, he says he's applying for the professorship." " It's too much." " I've heard they want a foreigner." " I haven't heard that." " Many people have said so." " And preferably a woman." " I don't think so." " Why not?" " I just don't." "Do you know something?" " Maybe." " What have you heard?" " Promise not to tell anyone?" " Of course." "No, I can't tell you." "Knud asked me." " What do you mean 'asked'?" " He wants me to apply." " You're kidding." " I talked to him today." "He says I'm an asset to the department." "Really?" "But you don't want to be a professor." " I didn't mean it like that." " Oh ..." " I thought you said ..." " This is damn disappointing." " Aren't you happy for me?" " Yes, I'm very happy." "I think it's wonderful." "Manfred, dear." "Let's celebrate." "A glass of wine." "Do you have any?" "I have a bottle of whisky." " I'm very proud of you." " Let's see how things go." " Isn't it definite?" " Yes, but I have to apply." "It's just a formality." "Let me know if there's anything I can do." "Here." " Cheers." " Cheers." "This is strictly confidential." "Of course, dear." "I'm crazy about you, Manfred." "You and your clever head." "What's this then?" "My goodness." "Christ!" "Wake up, Therese." "You have to leave now." " Come on." " What time is it?" "It's late." "Yes?" " Can I come in?" " Of course." " Working late?" " Sometimes it's necessary." " What are you working on?" " Just some ideas." " An article?" " It's something internal." "What's it about?" " It's confidential." " Sorry." " I wanted to show you this." " What is it?" " I found it in a packing box." " Christ, it's the two of us." "From when we got the traveling scholarship in 1990." " Do you remember the trip?" " Yes." "Vienna." "The source." "Yeah." "We wanted to help people." " And understand ourselves." " Exactly." "That's a long time ago, Poul." " I often think about that trip." " Me too." "Really." "You can keep it." " No." " Yes, it's for you." " Are you sure?" " Yes." "It's yours." "Thanks." "I've written something on the back." ""Dear Manfred." "From your old friend and colleague."" ""With the memory of and hope for a good time."" " I won't disturb you any longer." " It's no problem." "Yes." " Hi, Manfred." " Am I interrupting?" " Come in." " I can come back later." " Have you worked something out?" " Yes." " Is this okay?" " In front of Poul?" "I've told him about the problems." "We were just talking about it." " Okay." " Let me see it." "What the department needs is an ethical code." "An ethical code." "An ethical code." "Something that indicates that we take the situation seriously." "And something that can change our image in the media." "I've chosen to call the plan of action 'Clean Hands'." " Clean Hands." " Yes." "That's interesting." "What do you think, Poul?" "I like it." "It's serious and unpretentious." "As researchers we should sign an ethical code of practice   which will be included in our contracts." "Take a look, Poul." " This looks really good, Manfred." " It's damn good." "I'll present it to the vice chancellor at 2 pm." " Do you have time to accompany me?" " At 2 pm?" "I have a class then." "So perhaps ..." " I'd prefer that there were two of us." " I can cancel ..." "No, no." "You mustn't do that." "No, no." " It'll be fine." " Can I help?" " Yes." "Do you have time?" " I'm free this afternoon." " If you don't mind, Manfred." " Not at all." "Good." "That's a deal." "Poul will come." " Well done, Manfred." " Thanks." "Well done." "Anything else?" " Manfred!" " What?" " Are you eavesdropping?" " No, I was just ..." "It's not illegal, is it?" "The three moral feelings." "Does anyone know them?" "Kasper can't be the only one who knows." "Come on." " Kasper?" " Embarrassment, shame and guilt." "That's correct." " Hi, Knud." " Hi." " Sorry I couldn't go with you." " No problem." "Poul did." " How did it go?" " It was great." " We just have to follow the plan." " Really?" "I have some more ideas I'd like to present to you." " Could the two of us meet?" " It's not a good time." " When would be a good time?" " We can talk about it in Aarhus." " Aarhus?" " Yes, at the conference." "Are you going to the conference?" "Of course." "Aren't you?" " Yes, indeed." " Then we'll get together over there." "This is Ass." "Prof. Manfred Finnemand from the Department of Psychology." "Do you remember that we talked recently?" "No." " I cancelled my attendance." " Yes." " And now I've changed my mind." " What do you mean?" "I'd like to attend." "The conference is overbooked." "But I was invited ..." "I'm sorry." "We have an event in the fall ..." "Put me through to Kaj Brudholm." " He's in Poland." " Could I have his cell phone number?" "No, sorry." "Would you like to attend the event this fall?" "Shit." " So you're off?" " Yes." " Have fun." " Thanks." " It's a pity you aren't coming." " It's just a conference." "Everyone will be there." "It's stupid not to go, dear." "I'll be fine on my own." " Goodbye, dear." " Have a good trip." "See you on Monday." " Therese?" " Hello?" " It's me." " I can't hear you." " It's me." "Manfred." " Hi." " Are you having fun?" " Is that you, Manfred?" " I asked if you're having fun." " Yes." "It's too bad you're not here." " Are you at a party?" " Yes." "Poul was my dinner partner." " He's in a festive mood." " Who did Knud sit next to?" "He sat on Poul's other side." "They just sang a duet on stage." " A duet?" " What?" " I said it sounds like fun." " What did you want?" " Nothing in particular." " I can't hear you, Manfred." " I said nothing in particular." " What?" " Forget it." " What did you say?" "See you on Monday." "Bye." "Where were you?" "I decided to stay home and work on 'Clean Hands'." " That wasn't part of the plan." " No, but I had some good ideas." "I'd like to present them to you in the conference room at 2 pm." " Okay." "It sounds impressive." " Do you have time?" "That'll be fine." " What's that?" " Danish pastry." " I asked you to buy cinnamon rolls." " They ran out." " Fuck!" "Knud eats cinnamon rolls." " They were sold out." " Then go to another bakery." " I'm very sorry." "But I don't think a Danish pastry will kill Knud." " Bon appetit." " Thanks." " I'm all set in the conference room." " Excellent." " I'm anxious to hear your thoughts." " It will be interesting." " Manfred." "What time was it?" " 2 pm." " Right." "See you later." " Fine." " Coffee?" " Just a little." " There's Danish pastry." " No cinnamon rolls?" " No." " No matter." " I'm on a diet anyway." " I'll have one." "I still have a headache." "Can we proceed?" "Of course." "I've continued working on 'Clean Hands'." "I've added some things I'd like you to see." "Here we go." "Is the projector working?" "Yes." "As you can see, I've given it some thought." "Yes, I can see that." "The problem is that I've given the project to Poul." "Why did you do that?" "It was easier." "He was at the meeting with the vice chancellor." "And we talked about it in Aarhus." " But it's my project." " Yes, but now I've given it to Poul." " What about all my work?" " Give it to Poul." "He'll definitely be very pleased." "It's just paper-pushing, Manfred." "Knud!" "Knud!" "Yes?" "Do we still have a deal?" "What do you mean?" " About my application." " What about it?" "We ..." "Don't you remember?" "Remember what?" " Knud gave 'Clean Hands' to Poul." " What do you mean?" "Poul will finish the ethical code." "Wasn't it his idea?" "What?" "It was my idea!" " That's just what I heard." " Where?" " That's the rumor in the halls." " In the halls?" "Yes." "It was my idea!" "Manfred." "Dear, take it easy." "It's just an extra workload." "It's not an extra workload." "Knud said that if I made a good plan of action   he would look favorably on my application for the professorship." "Oh." " That's not what you said before." " No." "But you have to help me." "Find out the lie of the land regarding my application." "If I asked Knud about that, he would find it suspicious." " I'd do the same for you, Therese." " I can't." "Do you like me at all?" "Of course I do." "You know that." "No, actually I don't." "Because then you'd do it for me." "I'd do it for you." "Just a minute." " Hi." " Hi." " Am I interrupting something?" " No, we're just ..." "Hi, Therese." "Thanks for helping me with my bowtie." "What do you want, Poul?" "Are you okay with me taking over 'Clean Hands'?" "That's fine." "Good." "That's what Knud said, but I wanted to be sure." " It's quite alright." " Our working together is important." "Yes, indeed." "I just wanted to say that." "See you." "Hi." " Where are all the others?" " Many have switched." " Switched to what?" " Poul Sondergaard's class." "Well, that's up to them." "God damn it!" "Typical." " Morning, Eva." " Morning." " Hi." " Hi, Poul." " Thanks for bringing in my mail." " You're welcome." " Morning, Poul." " Someone from the Data Board called." " Was her name Anita?" " Yes." " That woman is driving me crazy." " Who is she?" "A meddlesome woman that keeps harassing me." " What does she want?" " She supervises my data." " And she's extremely thorough." " When is the report due?" " Next Tuesday." " That's soon." " I'm looking forward to reading it." " I'm looking forward to the reviews." "I'm going to get a coffee." " How about you?" " Yes, please." "I'd like one too, please." " Jesus H. Christ." " What?" "You have a lovely student worker." "My goodness." "Yes." " There are three candidates." " Three?" "You, Poul and a Norwegian." " Who's the Norwegian?" " I don't know." "But don't worry." "Knud calls him 'the mountain monkey'." "He hates Norwegians." "Thank God." "What did he say about me?" "Not very much." "But what?" "He mostly talked about Poul." " Knud is very keen on him." " What did he ...?" "And he's impressed with what he's done with 'Clean Hands'." "How can he take all the credit for that?" "But Knud hasn't made up his mind." "He's waiting till next Tuesday." " Next Tuesday?" " Yes." "He didn't say why." "It's the report." "Everything I've done the last 20 years doesn't count." "But some silly report about teenage cutters will settle the matter." " It's grotesque." " Yes, it is." "But you could make a bigger effort." " And how should I do that?" " Be a bit more active." "Active?" "What do you mean?" "I'm doing my job." "You could position yourself better." " What position should I assume?" " You know what I mean, dear." "No, actually I don't." "And don't call me dear when you don't mean it." "Where did that come from?" "Why can't you leave me alone?" "Because I'm fond of you." "Then don't be." "I can't stand it." "Thank you." "Bye." "Bye." "Bye." " Can I ask you a question?" " Yes." "Are you applying for the professorship?" "No." "Why?" "I've applied for it." " And I think I'm going to get it." " I see." "I've talked to Knud, and he says ..." "It sounds like he's decided to give it to me." " Congratulations." " Thanks." "I'm going this way." "See you." " This seems very messy." " Yes." "I'm just as flabbergasted." " Good morning." " I'm glad to see you." "This is Anita." " Manfred Finnemand." " She's here to supervise the data." "I'm closely supervising it." "The department doesn't have a spotless past." " What's happened?" " The thing is ..." "I had a black box full of raw data in my office." "It's gone." "It's very unfortunate and strange." "It's gone." "This man has seen the box." "You know I had the box in my office." "What do you mean, Poul?" " I don't remember that." " Manfred." "Stop it." "You remember the day I arrived." "We talked about my survey." " I showed it to you." " I haven't seen any box." "This is getting ridiculous." "First of all, it's irresponsible and illegal according to the Data Law   to have a box of sensitive information lying around in an office." "I know." "I've tried to get it properly stored." "And secondly, and this is even more serious   it seems like the box never existed, which is punishable." "Are you accusing me of falsifying data?" "I have to take the matter further." "Take it easy." "We'll work it out." "I'm sure the cleaners took it." " The box is in the department." " Then find it and call me." "For now, you have to verify that I've been here." " Do you have a pen?" " Will that one do?" " Thank you." " What happens now?" "The department will hear from us." "Thank you." " Is that necessary?" " I'm afraid it's standard procedure." "Bye." "For Christ's sake, Manfred, you must remember seeing that box." "Sorry, but I can't." "I'm sorry, Poul." "What was that about?" "What a meddlesome bitch." " She's just doing her job." " Yes, but still ..." "I'll be out on my ear when Knud hears about this." " What makes you think so?" " I just know it." "I drew up the ethical code." "Knud will have to suspend me." "We'll find the box." "Did you put it in the storage room?" "I'm sure it was in my office." "I'm positive." "It's strange that Manfred can't remember it." "What do you mean?" " Maybe he's the one who took it." " Manfred would never do that!" "This is Eva." "Yes." "Yes, of course." "Yes." "Of course." "I will." " Who was it?" " Knud." "He wants to see you now." " He certainly doesn't waste time." " It'll be fine." "Congratulations on the professorship, Manfred." "Welcome to the club." "Thank you, Knud." "Thank you, Knud." " You can't be a professor." " Why not?" " You know perfectly well why." " No." "Why?" "Sorry." "It was ..." "Freud said ..." "That it isn't possible to ..." "I'm not myself." "You can't interpret a dream ..." "We have to ..." "Where was I?" "I was on my way to your office." "Have you heard?" "Knud sent Poul home." "He's been suspended." "They suspect him of fabricating his data." "He claims it was stolen." "Knud is livid." "He was counting on Poul to replace Gundesboll." "Don't you see what this means?" " Don't you?" " Yes." " Eva?" " Oh, God." "Hi, Manfred." "Where is the Madrid report?" "Right there." "Great." " Eva, come in here for a moment." " What for?" " I want to talk to you." " About what?" "Just get in here!" " Is something wrong?" " Sit down." " What were you doing in here?" " Getting the report." "That's not true." "It's not true!" "Yes, it is." "I have to fire you." "Why?" " Due to lack of confidence." " You can't do that." "Can't we talk about it?" "No, I've made up my mind." "Manfred, I'm very fond of my job." "Please pack your things." "I'm sorry it had to end this way." "I'm sorry." "I do like you." "But when you abuse my trust, it's your own fault." "I don't have any choice." "Clear your desk." " Hello?" " It's me." " Hi, Knud." " Would you come to my office?" " Yes, what's it about?" " I'll tell you when you get here." " Is it about Poul?" " Yes." "How did you know?" " I was just guessing." " Come on up." "I want to discuss it." "Yes, of course." "I'll be right there." " Have a seat." " Thanks." " Poul says his raw data was stolen." " So I heard." "It's absurd." "I wouldn't go that far." "I've seen a thing or two in my time." "Why would I do that?" "We're old friends." "No one has accused you, Manfred." "No." "Did you do it?" "That's what I mean." "I'd never do that, Knud." " You know me, Knud." " Yes." "That's why I'm offering you the professorship." "I talked to the evaluation committee this morning." "And we agreed to ask you." " Really?" " What do you say?" " Thank you." " Congratulations." "Thanks very much, Knud." " What will happen to Poul?" " He's finished." "Finished?" "How?" "He'll never work at a university again." "I promise you that." "Yes?" " Poul?" " Am I interrupting something?" "No, come in." "What do you want?" "I mean ..." " I wanted to congratulate you." " Thank you." " This is for you." " My goodness." "That's nice of you." "Are things going well?" "Yes ..." "I can't come to your inaugural lecture." "I'd like to   but Knud won't let me, so ..." "That's alright." "How are you doing?" "It's totally absurd, Manfred." "I can't figure out what happened." "It torments me." "I wish I could help." "Why can't you remember that I showed you the questionnaires?" "What do you mean?" "The day I started, you and I talked in my office." "I told you about my report." "I simply can't remember, Poul." "Why are you lying to me, Manfred?" "I'm your friend." " You have to leave now." " Not until you explain." "Leave now." "Since you started here, you've fucked everything up for me." "Since day one, you've sucked up to Knud." "And you've fondled every woman in the department." "And you've tried to take credit for my work with 'Clean Hands'." "My hard work on 'Clean Hands'." " I've never seen this side of you." " My hard work on 'Clean Hands'." "Good luck." "Manfred?" "Manfred." "Manfred?" "What are you doing?" "It's after two." " I can't." " Why are you lying on the floor?" " I can't go down there." " You have to." "Everyone's waiting." "Get up." "I'm frightened, Therese." "Nonsense." "Now get up." "There you go." " It's my fault that Poul was fired." " No, it isn't." " Yes." " Poul messed up." "You know that." "I ruined his data." "What?" "I took the interviews and happened to put them in the paper shredder." "I see." "Is "I see" all you can say?" "What do you want me to say?" "Pull yourself together." "You've been working towards this for years." " But I haven't deserved it." " Let me tell you something, dear." "No one deserves what they have." "You just have to enjoy what you get." "Do you understand?" "After your tremendous lecture " " I feel sure that the department will benefit from your expertise." "While you've worked diligently in your field   you also have an unshakeable integrity   and commitment to the department." "Let these traits be an example to others." "One example is the ethical code 'Clean Hands'." "An important job that's reestablished the department's reputation   in a difficult time." "If anyone deserves this, it's you, Manfred." "Congratulations on your professorship." "Subtitles:" "Karen Margrete Wiin Dansk Video Tekst"
