"Patrik Pacard Decision in the Fjord (Ep. 1)" "Professor Gunström says it's not impossible." "He had astonishing success at his experimental station over the past three years." "I'm his student, I know what I'm talking about." " Gunström." "A nerd." "The man has already worked in an unscientific manner." "And if this supposedly unscientific blind fool... has discovered exactly the right wheat kernel among 34 thousand million, Dr. Hübner?" "Why doesn't he come forward, if he's so capable?" "Our computer has never gotten a theoretical handle on the wheat strain of the century." "Maybe you'll surprise us with your thoughts on that." "My thoughts I owe to Professor Gunström." "You broke off all contact with him." " It's enough if our institute... is also still funding this maverick, against my recommendation." "I'm glad my father guarantees me my scientific independence." "How many hotels does your father have?" "In order for the nucleotides of our amino acids in question to control the protein molecule, our terminal theoretically requires about 900 years." "Purely theoretically!" "We're still a long ways from wheat at altitudes of 2000m." "The professor says he can even plant pineapples on a glacier." "So he claims." "4 weeks of work." "I'll run through it again." "Once more, please!" "And your Gunström wants to take on the problem?" "Gunström is a genius." " Yes, with pineapples on the glacier." "I'm going to Norway." " Please, please." "But on your expense." "The World Health Organization doesn't see itself as capable..." "But I see myself as capable!" "All croplands around the world... could make use of this enzyme." "You're grasping at a straw." " But if one day this straw grows in the desert or the Himalayas or elsewhere and bears fruit, then what?" " Then it would be a miracle." "Give my regards to Gunström." "Well, your beauty, do you sense it?" "Your relatives down in the valley would never have survived nights in this cold." "Well, and you... you would even be comfortable in the Sahara, hm?" "Even without a computer, we've made you nice and strong and... and weatherproof." "And if it snows tonight, I won't be worried." "You love snow." "You got that?" "I'll send your greetings to the pineapples and the wheat." "Sorry, but I wasn't under the impression that I was to work together with you to steal the formula in Gunström's cottage." "Your behavior offends me." "Oh yeah?" "Then count slowly to 3." " Wait a minute." "East or West?" " Can you swim, Dimitri?" "The temperatures here aren't ideal for swimming." "Besides, I'm not sure whether I'd not get a bullet in the head." "A Czech automatic, aha." " Yes." "Kharkov's understudy." "It appears to me, Moscow doesn't take this Professor Gunström seriously." "They always have to speak so slowly." "I'm certainly not an idiot." "Will you be ready soon?" " Yes, right away." "Did you ask me whether you may use the video camera, huh?" "Of course, Dad." " Was I there when you asked?" "I'm afraid not." "But imagine, one could install the camera... in this bomber with a remotely operated transmitter... and take aerial photos." " Of course one could, but only if the plane were even smaller." " But not a bad idea, right?" "So, come on now, okay?" "I'll take off, you can fly, huh?" " Roger." "May I at least use the camera?" " If you're careful." "It has no purpose if I end up controlling this thing for the first time in Norway." "Obviously, yes." " Do you actually know how happy Mom is, that we're finally taking a holiday together?" "Ready for take off?" "Look out!" "Ow!" "What's wrong?" "Dad, I have a stitch!" "I would like to say thanks for your effort." " I'm not altruistic, Mr. Dimitri." "Obviously everything has its price." "Please." "Well, going again?" "Ready for take off" " Then go." "What do you think?" "How many days can you spend with us in the fjord?" "2 or 3?" "I have four vacation days pending." "And if we don't have complications, then with Harry's help I can arrange it so that we're together for 10 days." "You know, it's incredibly beautiful up there!" "Harry was already there." "That's what you always promise!" "And then?" ""Urgent system problems" at the borehole." "How Mom can put up with you..." "Ow!" "What is it?" "What's wrong?" "What?" "Come here!" "Hopefully not the appendix." " Surely not, Dad." "You can begin." " Scalpel." "Forceps." "Scissors." "Clamp." "Pedicle." "Katrin, an appendix is a routine matter." "Peter, it's a ruptured appendix." "And probably I'll be stuck alone with the problem again." "Forget tomorrow, please." " You know, I'm fed up with it too." "Do you think I find it easy to have to leave in the middle of the operation?" "Why didn't you become a civil servant?" "And how do you want to explain your sudden departure to our son this time?" ""Very important system problems."" "That bad conscience is costing you." " What should I do then?" "But I'll have to take the blame if I'm there alone with him!" "Peter, Patrik needs you." "Our holiday together fell through too." "Once Patrik is allowed, you'll follow after me." "You know, I..." "I have to." "Before I depart, I'll call you, okay?" "You're leaving the return flight, Bergen to Munich, open, right?" "Pardon." "Pardon me." "Just a bit of information." "Do you have a message for Dimitri?" "Are you Mr. Dimitri?" "Pardon me please, but you must give me your code word." ""Tomatoes, pineapple and wheat in the snow."" " Here you are." "Excuse me once again." "Do I actually have a direct connection to Bergen from Oslo tomorrow?" "Excuse me." "The plane is waiting in any case." "Here you are." "Thanks." " Sorry!" "How are you?" " Dad's gone, right?" "Instead of flowers." "The rest is at home." "Great." "He promised that we'll go to Norway together." "It would have worked out without your appendix." "He must be on the drilling platform tomorrow." "Patrik, when you're released from here, then we'll simply fly after him." "Your father has five days of standby option and will visit us." "Then you'll build that thing together." "It must be Dad!" "Yes?" "One moment." "Traitor." " I promise you:" "Once the doctor gives the green light, you'll get to come, then we'll fly the new machine." "I promise!" "My word of honor!" "Perfect, you brandy nose." "Take care and keep your chin up, okay?" "Bye." "Ow!" "Such crap!" "How did I get appendicitis?" " Maybe by having a cherry pit stuck in your appendix." "Be glad that it's out." "What's gone is gone." "Dad is gone too." "That stings and burns." "I have a telex for you, Madam Colleague." "Professor Gunström asks you to postpone your visit for five days." "Oh, excuse me:" "Mr. Harvey," "Dr. Castelli, a Swiss colleague." " Hello." "Aha, you're against my trip." " Indeed I must appeal to you." "Gunström has sent you a telex." "He has no telex at all in the fjord." "Besides, your departure puzzles me." "Because your series of tests, that I consider hopeless anyway, is by no means complete." "Bye." "After a visit to Gunström, I'll continue with them." ""Dear Madam Colleague, I'm in Bern for 5 days, in order to see through some urgent experiments." "Gunström, you gangster." "But in 5 days I'll pester you." "Careful!" "Well, go on, keep going!" "Yes!" "Higher!" "Even higher!" "Yes, that's good!" "And pull it up!" "Harry, good idea." "Thanks." "Set it there." "Hey!" "You know, I can't leave here now." " Katrin and Patrik." "I'll try." " Crap!" "You must lie still!" "I understand that the helicopter won't allow you any rest, but you must take care of yourself." "It's exactly 11." "Want to bet that shortly he promises we'll fly tomorrow?" "And tomorrow he's guaranteed to call with his "Oh, I'm so sorry" voice." "The weather is bad, we should stay where we are." "Your husband always has excuses." " My husband is your father." "Yes, precisely." "And because I'm his son, I know perfecty well that he actually... took advantage of my appendicitis." "So much for trapping salmon, hunting, flying." "This is Delta Monitor, you're on stand by." "Charly." "Patrik Pacard." "I would like to speak to Mr. Pacard." "He's right next to me." " How are you?" "Can you pick us up in Bergen?" " Does the doctor say you may travel yet?" "Dad, don't finagle, I'm okay." "I'm coming through badly at the moment." "I'm coming through badly at the moment!" "Can you hear?" "This can't be happening." "Greet..." "Hello?" "Hello?" "So your radio operator is the last straw!" "What of yours works?" "If we were outside it would work." " What can I do?" "It depends on the weather." "Yes." "We're flying!" "Just as I've said:" "you can rely on Dad!" "And how do you explain it to your girlfriend?" " The others will tell her." "Please, who?" " My second wife." "Hold on, Peter." "Since you've been back, you've kept out of my way." "Where are the cigars?" " We have no time right now." "How is it going with the potash?" "We move forward 42 feet per shift." "Where are the cigars?" "Exactly, so much for potash." "Want a cigarette?" "You're well aware that one may not smoke here!" "You may take the helicopter on board." "As an exception." "You see, the flight isn't sold out." " Oh, thank you." "Hello, Ms. Castelli." "Here, from your father." "Oh, Dad." "He always finds out when, where, and how I do things." "Your flight will be called in 10 minutes." " Merci." "What is the young man drinking there?" "Fruit punch." " Then I'll have some too." "It must be because of my pullover, that the women go after you." "Or because of the propeller." "Here you are." "Thank you." "And an orange juice." " Thank you." "Man!" "Hello." " Hi." "I don't want to spy on you." "I don't understand that stuff anyway." "Do you understand it?" " Yes." "Where did you go to school then?" "We don't get taught any of that." "In Switzerland." "I see, they're thorough in Switzerland." "Don't disturb the lady, she'll surely wants to work." "Oh no, I prefer to chat." "These are a collection of my failures." "Castelli." "Giovanna Castelli." " Pacard, Patrik Pacard." "And that's my father's wife, my mother." "Are you flying Bergen too?" " Yes, but then continuing on." "We're meeting my husband in a fjord, for a holiday." "He works on a drilling platform." " Ow!" "Yes, Patrik has a difficult surgery behind him." "Yes." "I had to bid goodbye to my appendix." "What are you doing in Norway?" " I want to recuperate too." "From the failures?" " Ricky!" "Mom, since my 12th birthday, you may no longer call me Ricky." "Then don't behave like a 12-year-old." "Then may I still address you informally?" "That's a matter of give and take." "Only if I may also address you informally." "Give my regards to both of them!" "And remember, bring along the cigars!" "Bye, Harry!" "Dear passengers, we land in Oslo in a few minutes." "We ask that you stop smoking, move your seats to an upright position, and fold the tray tables up in front of you." "Thank you." "And for those passengers continuing on to Bergen..." "Your checked baggage will be automatically forwarded to your connecting flight." "Thank you." "My devotion to Towaritsch Kharkov." "He should come himself." "How are you?" " Everything's okay!" "Peter, I hadn't thought that you'd actually pick us up." "A promise is a promise." "We flying by helicopter into the fjord." "Great!" "Good recovery from your failure." "Bye." "Bye." "Look, look, Dottore Giovanni Castelli." "This is our Penrod 80." " How high are the towers?" "The pit props are 100 meters high." "A platform like this one, which now stands at 25 meters, can be as high as 60 meters." "Guess how deep you can drill?" "Hm?" "10,000 m!" "That's 10 km!" "Crazy, isn't it?" " May I visit you?" "That can't happen for security reasons." " Isn't that beautiful!" "Look, Patrik." "The water is so clear!" " How's Harry?" "Very good, as always." " I knitted a scarf for him." "And I've already forgetten his cigars again!" "Dad, is that is our house, where we live?" " The white one there." "Well, do you like it?" "Yes." "I'll get the rest, get out of the danger zone." "Here, my boy." "Take care." "Well, isn't that beautiful?" "See you soon." " See you soon." "Bye." "Damn." "Crap." "Good morning!" " Good morning!" "Do you like my boat?" " I apologize, but my helicopter was getting wet." " You could have asked." "If I had asked first whether I may take the boat, then it would still be flooded." " That makes sense, yes." "It can be freely used for further rescue operations." "Where do you come from?" "From Germany." "Munich." "Patrik Pacard." "Olav Gunström." "My father works out on the drilling platform." "I thought so." "Come on, give me that." "Breakfast?" "I won't say no to that, Mr. Gunström." "My mother shall sleep late." "Are you here for your holidays?" "No, I work here." " Doing what?" "Well, renting boats." "I'm a biologist, of more precisely, a biochemist." "That's quite something." " How so?" "There must be an incredible number of biologists." "I also met one on the plane." "Very nice, however too old for me." "Well, well." "Coffee?" "Tea?" "Cocoa?" " Tea, please." "Tea, please." "Are these wheat grains?" " Correct, Patrik, good." "Was your biologist yesterday on the plane Giovanna Castelli by chance?" "Yes, exactly." " Yes, I'm expecting her." "What?" "Her, here?" " Hm." "Giovanna could have really said more." "She would have gotten here much faster with us in the helicopter." "Honestly, Mr. Gunström, sometimes women are whacked out." "Whacked out?" "Giovanna is unbelievably nice." " Yes." "Would you like this?" "Thanks." "She just wants to recover from her failures." "Well, well." "Are you going to have them fly in?" " Nah." "Uh, yes, of course." "So what doesn't grow here?" "Do you also write books about plants?" " No." "I keep it all in my head." "Can one make money from it?" " Enough anyway that one is independent." "That's Giovanna!" " Oh goodness..." "I'll hide so that it'll be a surprise!" "Oh, Madonna!" "So, whomever one visits up here, one must love very much." "And hate his guts." "Well?" " What a sight you are, you gangster?" "Well, to me you're not too old." "Professor..." "Come on." "Norway is small, right?" " Patrik!" "We flew in." " But not with that." "Come, sit down." "Would you like some tea?" " Yes, gladly." "Please, take mine." "Tell me, what about that telex?" "Why should I come five days later?" "How should I send you a telex from here?" "No." "I was up on top with the others for a few days." "I..." "I took a mountain tour." " I'll go now." "My mother is probably already awake." " Nah, wait a bit." "May I really use your boat?" " When you want to." "Thanks." "Thanks, Mr. Gunström." " Please." "See you soon, Giovanna." " Salut, Patrik." "Carefully." "Have you explained something of the experiments to the boy?" "I?" "Not a word." "And you?" "Besides, there are no more experiments." "Come on, I'll show you something." "Here." "So, stand back there a moment." "This wheat has been growing in extreme drought for 3 weeks." "Normally, it would have long since shriveled up." "Whoever knows the secret of this wheat, could dominate the world." "Yes, but I don't want to dominate the world." "I've only solved a scientific problem." "Who, besides me, has seen something of your crops in the mountains... along with these here?" " Nobody, assuredly nobody comes here." "Oh sure, a few days ago a helicopter landed up there, but so what?" "I have the formula in my head." "This is it." "Except for synthesizing the amino acids." "Whom do you want to give them to?" "In four and a half weeks... the U.N. World Food Commission will be meeting in Rome." "And then I will leave this fjord for good after three years." "And there in Rome, and only there, and only under the condition that my statement can be heard in all countries of the world, will I disclose my secret." "But as I said... only the whole world!" "Be careful." "You really could have said more." "Everything is cold." "I climbed up a mountain earlier." "I've taken the first aerial photos." "Since I was eager." "I'd rather do the flying with Dad." " Why?" "Did something happen?" "Nope." "Where did you get the fruit?" " From a professor." "And do you know who's still here?" " No, but you'll tell me shortly." "The swiss woman." "Great, right?" "Man, I'm hungry!" "The professor is really nice, but a bit peculiar." "And you've just figured that out?" " Of course." "He lived in a laboratory for 3 years." "And when Giovanna came, they talked in such a funny way." "Then I got out of there." "Finally, I've learned how to behave." "That's new to me." " Has Dad already called?" "No, unfortunately not." "Hello?" " Well, do you feel well?" "Yes, it's really great here." "One moment!" "I think I have gone whacky!" " Hey, Patrik, what is it?" "A gigantic tub!" "O... dess... a." "Ah, the Odessa!" "Yes." "Length: 136.3 meters," "Width: 21 meters, built in 1970 in England, carries 500 passengers." "Now a home port of Leningrad." " Come on, Give me the phone." "Are you coming in two days?" " On my word of honor." "And look after yourselves." " Bye." "That's big!" "Hello!" " Hey!" "Odessa." "The route up there is quite difficult." "Once again." "Do you think Switzerland is lowlands?" " No." "And what are we doing now?" " We're going fishing!" "There are insane whoppers swimming around out there." " And if they get hooked, what do we do then?" " You're right." "But we could... take a walk." "Towards..." " Towards Giovanna?" "Perhaps we can invite her and the professor to dinner." "I fear the professor cooks only on the Bunsen burner." "You mean I can finally cook properly again?" "Exactly." "Professor?" "It's me, Patrik!" "Professor?" "As you can see, no one is here." "Too bad." " Leave a note behind." "Maybe you'll get in touch with your new flame." " Ha ha." ""Have dinner with us." "Patrik"" "Subtitles:" "VICOMEDIA 09/2004 translation to English by SmartyBoy"
