"The warden, pending permission from his superiors, is authorized to grant a short-term leave to an inmate, to allow him to visit a seriously ill relative." "Art. 46 of the law for serving prison sentences [12 days without food]" "(Knock on door) (Door unlocks)" "(Footsteps approach)" "Good day." "(Jóhanna sighs) Good day." "The Minister of Justice and I have decided to try to reach a compromise with you." "You won't get your building, that's certain, but I have a room that I can turn over to you." "Here we go." "Yes yes yes." "And this hunger tripe hopefully ends now." "Since all of my demands have been met," "I end the hunger strike effectively...now." "Here is a small reward for your generosity." "A list of noted rule violations." "You'll be quiet then." "Well, here are your meds." "Are you sure you need them all?" "I'll take one now and..." "Keep the rest for later." "Yes." "That's good." "There you go." "(Car door slams)" "Ready?" "I have a shoe, I'm in." "Are you folding?" "Too late now, I'm showing." "Hello dear Ólafur." "Nice to see you here." "I'm here because of you." "The Total Sauna stock was damaged." "Damaged?" "2 or 3 of them didn't work." "I counted on you, my boy." "Then I wound up with a debt of 1.7 million." "It's sold on TV for less." "of 1.7 million." "It's sold on TV for less." "of 1.7 million." "It's sold on TV for less." "Those are just junk replicas, these had been certified by doctors and scientists." "by doctors and scientists." "But I gave you a check." "Ólafur, you betrayed me." "I had to pay off a huge loan that was defaulted." "in here because of that, not me." "You owe me 1.7 million." "I'm doing time because of that debt." "You should be in here because of that, not me." "You owe me 1.7 million." "I don't have that much." "Don't you own something, like a car or such?" "Yeah." "I'll take it as part of the debt." "The Queen?" "That blue rustbucket?" "It's not worth 10 grand." "It's been modified for 38"s." "You have to pay your debts." "Don't you know about business?" "You have to pay your debts." "Don't you know about business?" "(Kenneth grunts)" "Isn't this good enough?" "Clean up all the dirt before applying the wax." "Otherwise the dirt will be permanently stuck there." "Aren't you going to help?" "I have other things to do." "How many journalists does your paper intend to send?" "And that includes people from your website as well?" "No, I understand." "I give you my thanks and look forwards to seeing you." "(Phone call ends abruptly) There will be refreshments." "There's a 10-minute rule for using the phone!" "He's been on the phone for fucking 30 minutes." "Greetings and good day." "I am Georg Bjarnfreðarson." "Can you put me through to the Minister of Education?" "(Loud snores)" "(Mumbles softly but incoherently)" "(Mumbles incoherently)" "I don't understand... (More incoherent mumbling)" "He's asking you about med school, Daníel." "(Loud machines running in background)" "(Georg shouting) I have a design here for shelf brackets with holes on both arms, I need 60 of them by 2 o'clock!" "(Prisoner shouting) We'll never pull that off!" "It must be done!" "The reading center will be opened later today!" "I need to file these pipes down for Árborg!" "If you refuse to do this I'll report you to Jóhanna!" "I have her full authority in this matter!" "The Minister of Education and the press are coming!" "I need to have these done by 4 o'clock!" "You bend'em and drill'em!" "I'll be back here at 2 and they will be ready, thank you very much!" "(Classical music playing) (Door opens in background)" "Is the painting ready?" "Sure." "It's over there." "I see." "Good." "(Music playing on radio)" "Ólafur!" "Is the sign ready?" "What sign?" "The sign I asked you to make for the Georgsstofa." "I'll do it later." "I need it now." "The opening is at 5 o'clock." "Relax, look at this." "I'm gonna sink this ball without touching these two." "That's impossible." "Wanna bet?" "I don't have to bet on it." "It's plain to see." "Unlike the sign you promised to make for me." "5000 kronur that I can make the shot." "Are you going to pay me 5000 kronur to look like an idiot here?" "Thank you very much." "See?" "Who's the idiot now?" "That's a magic act!" "It's prepared in advance, well rehearsed in advance." "No, it's just a trick shot." "Exactly!" "You tricked me." "This was a setup." "You were trying to trick me." "You won't make any money off of me, Ólafur." "You owe me 5 grand." "Not for some trick" "Have the sign ready by 4 o'clock at the latest." "And one of those first aid dolls." "Yes." " The ones you practice on." "I got one of those for my confirmation." "It had lungs and all." "I also had a head." "Where you could take your brain out and the eyes." "And when Gutti died, my dad had me dissect it." "But I wanted to bury it." "I haven't forgiven that." "Gutti?" "My guinea pig." "Right." "Are you here to sign up?" "No." "I'm here to sign up." "Yes, in what field?" "Medical field." "He'll be doing it off-campus." "Sure." "Hey." "Howdy." "How was isolation?" "Calm." "That was some fiasco." "Yeah." "Sorry about me losing myself like that." "Dude, you don't have to apologize to me." "Smash it." "(Both mimic explosions and whistle like birds)" "I think horses are off the menu here for good." "I'm gonna take a piss." "Sure thing." "Is the sign ready?" "Georgstof?" "Yeah." "It was to read Georgsstofa." "Two S's." "There isn't room for more letters." "This is nonsense!" "Nothing exists with this name." "It's an abbrevation." "Everybody does that today." "You have betrayed me Ólafur!" "Like you and those 5000?" "That was a small jest." "You didn't say that." "Usually you say "joke" or something similar." "I would never use that word." "You still owe me the money!" "Nn..." "Right." "You are right Ólafur." "Yes." "Here are the 5000 kronur that I owe you." "Thanks for that." "Why do I have to shout at you to get a point across?" "Yes." "Exactly." "This is great work here, Ólafur." "Daníel, we really don't have the time for this." "We're an hour late." "Just a while." "(Voice on intercom) Hello?" "Ylfa?" "It's Daníel." "Hi." "Hiiii." "(Door buzzer)" "(Baby noises) (Daniel makes silly noises)" "Hello there." "I'll be darned." "We did this." "Yeah." "Júlia." "Meet our boys." "We never really do anything together." "No." "Why don't we do something fun together?" "Us and the kids...go out into the country." "That would be really nice." "Yes, it would be so fun." "Yes." "Yeah." "But shouldn't we get married first?" "I'm joking." "That... was exactly what I was going to say next." "We are...you know." "Alike." "(Both giggling)" "Ylfa..." "What's your last name again?" "Dís Jónsdóttir." "Ylfa Dís Jónsdóttir." "Will you marry me?" "Yes!" "(Both laughing happily)" "Come on." "Join in." "5 grand?" "That won't even cover the interests." "It's just the first payment." "Do you know what the daily interests are?" "10-15 grand." "Then this goes towards that." "And the loan is 1.7 million." "I only earn 10 grand a week." "I can't pay you more today." "You'll have to find some way, my son." "If anyone owes anyone anything here, it's him." "When I was in my summer job while I was a teenager," "I never saw any money." "When I came to get my pay," "I would always be told that I had already been paid." "I was like..." "Uh no?" "Yes." "Your father came earlier and picked up your paycheck." "I owned the money from my confirmation for 15 minutes." "What's with you and horses?" "Are you obsessed with them?" "They are my friends." "Kjarkur always came to me when I approached him." "Kjarkur?" "My horse." "I tamed him myself." "I could lead him around with my little finger." "I only had to think it, and he would follow." "The old man tried to teach me to tame horses, but it was Kjarkur that taught me to tame himself." "The old man?" "Your father?" "He couldn't tame horses." "He could only break them." "Killed their spirit." "Exhausted them, tied them up and beat them to obedience." "That's how he was." "Tried to force everything." "The stables would go still whenever he entered them." "I see." "He won't bother anyone anymore." "So you had a serious talk with him?" "When I was released from the home, he sent me to a home when my mother died." "The day I left, I told him to leave Kjarkur alone." "If he would ever ride him or as much as touch him," "I would come back and finish him off." "He had been alone at the farm for quite some time." "Everything was run down and the horses..." "Kjarkur was alone out in the field." "(Sound of horse neighs)" "But the field was barren." "Not a single straw of grass." "I approached him..." "he was limp, had a sore back and his eyes were swollen from the beatings." "One of his front hooves was cracked right through." "Most of his teeth broken so he couldn't feed himself." "(Sound of horse whinny)" "The old man had broken him." "The spark in his eyes was gone." "I saw that he recognized me, but he wouldn't follow me." "He was too scared." "What has been broken cannot be mended." "I wanted to remember Kjarkur as he was, when the old man said that I could have him." "So I... (Clears throat) ...bid Kjarkur farewell, and went to the homestead." "(Sound of ghostly horse whinny)" "The old man was drunk and shouting obscenities." "So I...talked to him about the horses." "Nice story." "I would be up for that, to just talk to my dad and work things out." "Listen." "Do I hear springtime in the air?" "Huh?" "(Ólafur farts)" "(Both laugh)" "It's 20 minutes past." "I have to be elsewhere in 10." "Yes... yes." "Very well." "People will just miss this event." "I bid you all welcome to this opening... (cellphone rings) Continue." "I'll be right there." "The inmates of Litla-Hraun were given a library, which includes "Battling for Bread" by Tryggvi Emilsson, from Einar Olgeirsson's private library and contains his autograph, "Ex libris"." "I have to be going now." "Then I'll cut to the chase and hereby open Georgsstofa." "Scissors." "Ketill, the scissors." "Pose yourselves." "Ketill, you stand aside." "Hold on, I'll fetch..." "That's good." "...the book" "That's good (Camera clicks twice) Thank you." "Hello Bjarnfreður." "Who is this?" "This is Georg, your son." "What do you want?" "I wanted to know why you didn't attend the opening." "I told you, Georg, that I would not go back there." "I think you would have enjoyed the occasion." "Possibly been a little proud of me." "It's a special library attributed to myself." "I got plenty of attention from your silly attempt at a hunger strike." "I was fighting for my cause." "You make a mockery of the real struggles out there." "Who do you think you are, Bobby Sands?" "I am a prisoner of conscience here, as you know." "I'm busy." "I have people to attend to." "I'm sorry to bother you." "Farewell, Bjarnfreður." "(laughing stupidly)" "There's a photo of me in the paper!" "[Renounces U.S. citizenship]" "There are many words there I don't understand." "The only other time my photo's been in the paper was when I got stuck in a window during a robbery." "It says here that a convict at Litla-Hraun, namely you, had in a letter renounced his U.S. citizenship," "and due to the contents of the letter, the U.S. has barred you from entering the country." "They've exiled you." "What do you mean exiled?" "You can never go there." "But I can still visit my dad, right?" "No, they won't even let you into the country." "But your father is free to come visit you here." "As much as he likes." "Georg, what have you done?" "We took a mutual decision." "I didn't want this." "We discussed this." "No, not this." "You were going to help me, you know what you were doing, you've been to 5 universities." "I..." "I..." "Can't I take it back?" "No, that's not possible." "Ketill dear..." "My name is not Ketill!" "Ketill?" "Listen, Ólafur dear." "What?" "My dear boy, I just wanted to apologize for charging you." "Just forget about it." "It's just a mix-up on my end." "I wanted to return you this." "Thanks for that." "Can it be that I owe you some money?" "From long ago?" "You just sort it out and we'll arrange a payment plan." "Let's just call it even?" "Good." "You'll have to wait a bit, Dr. Sigurlaug is running late." "Is that OK?" "Sure." "Georg?" "Why don't you run the meeting?" "Me?" "No." "Of course you should." "You're good with this stuff." "I do have a psychiatry degree." "Exactly." "Come on." "Very well." "(Georg clears throat)" "I barely need to introduce myself, but to be polite" "I'll do so anyway." "I'm Georg Bjarnfreðarson, and as Daníel said earlier I have both a degree in psychiatry and pedagogy from the Lund University in Sweden." "But what we are going to do here today is known as "gruppterapy", which is quite different from the flea circus that Sigurlaug has managed so far." "What's grupp-rapy?" "Don't worry about that, it'll explain itself in due time, and keep in mind that I am a professional." "(Georg clears throat)" "Ólafur." "You start." "Tell us how you feel." "Well..." "I've been somewhat upset by me and dad being..." "Stop, you're doing it wrong." "Here we have a text-book example of a man who's below average intelligence." "Then we have his father here, who's afflicted likewise." "Men like you should quite frankly be castrated, so that you can run around in acts of lust, but would be incapable of having offspring, because they won't ever be better than this." "Hey now... (Georg clears throat)" "But, despite his flaws, Ólafur is a nice person." "Unlike you, and all of..." "most of you in here." "This is bullshit." "Sssh!" "Do not disturb the therapy session." "You've been a total idiot!" "No, you!" "You've ruined everything!" "I was going to move to the U.S. and visit my dad." "Get out!" "Get out of here!" "I am in charge here and will not tolerate any interruptions." "Exactly!" "Who made you in charge?" "Listen to Georg." "Do you think I don't see right through you?" "What's he talking about" "It's your own fault that you are in this position." "You are so right Georg." "You have to be responsible." "Exactly." "I, for example, was very angry at him for a while." "But not anymore." "What are you babbling, loser?" "Why don't you two just go and make out?" "You're a loser yourself!" "A violent drug dealer." "At least I haven't killed anyone." "Stupid and uneducated apes!" "You're all beyond salvation!" "(Georg ranting in background)" "Hey, Ólafur." "I'm getting married." "OK." "Congratulations." "I'm getting married?" "Uhh...yeah?" "And I know what's best for all of you!" "You've ruined my name!" "I don't even know who I am!" "It was for your own good." "No!" "It was not good." "You were going to help me." "I thought you were my friend, but then you're just a phony that's betrayed everyone!" "Sit down!" "We may be criminals, but we're not dishonest." "Exactly." "Shit." "Shit fucking shit." "You're like retarded babies!" "You're the fucking retard!" "I've tried to raise your intelligence to another level but you struggle against it." "But I'm on to you!" "Oh?" "Because I'm smarter than you." "I've gathered information about you all and regularly made reports to the warden." "What damn information?" "Smuggling, drugs, contraband items in cells, cellphones, erotic videos..." "That was you?" "!" "?" "Yes!" "I-I-I did it all for you." "(Almost squeakíng) A higher level?" "(Alarms sounding)" "(Guards shouting) Gas!" "Gas!" "Gas!"
