Fangavaktin (2009) s01e03 Episode Script

1
Everyone have the right to
be free of harassment
by others wthin
the prison walls.
From the prisoner's
information pamphlet
No prisoners allowed
beyond this point
You almost put an innocent
man behind bars.
I wouldn't say he's innocent.
He's an old work colleague
and a former subordinate,
and such bonds can create
a strange sense of humor.
- Sense of humor?
The humor among my friends
can be considered "fipped".
You are aware of how
serious this matter is?
I never thought that Ólafur
would take this seriously,
but I assure you that one
day we will all look back
upon this and laugh.
- It will have repercussions.
I should hope so.
Ólafur should learn to take-
Your visiting rights and
cell privileges wll be
revoked for at least a month.
- Me? But, this was a joke!
Hello? Can anyone hear me?
I'm supposed to be showing
a house right about now.
I don't get paid if
I don't sell anything.
Here you go. You're free.
- It was about time.
This whole affair has
been total bullshit.
I should be up in Grafarholt to
show a house. -Exactly.
Can I keep this paper?
- Sure.
Hello, I'm calling about
an ad in the paper.
You're paying 500 grand
with the car? No joke?
And is it gone? It's not?
Then I'll take it.
Where are you?
What is said at Afstaða
meetings is confdential!
The worst thing you can do
in here is rat on others.
I haven't ratted at all.
- Bend down here!
The regulation about
cellphones has been changed
so that you can't have them
anywhere. How did that happen?
I don't know. -Only the
board of Afstaða knew this.
I swear it must be
someone else, I told no one.
Have you been paid yet?
- Yeah.
What did I tell you?
That I should give it
to you, but I just got-
The money.
What is this?
An inside wallet.
Do you have a vagina?
- No
Why haven't I kicked
your ass already?
You're such a girl, Daníel.
Am I done then?-No.
Sing for us while we eat.
I can't really sing.
- Aren't you a girls?
Girls sing. Sing All Out
Of Luck from Eurovision,
get this party started.
Sing!
When you're all
out of luck and you wanna give up
That's pathetic.
When you're all
out of luck and you wanna give up
Sing like a woman!
When you're all
out of luck and you wanna give up
You've got
to let go of all your bad memories
Now that's more sexy!
Swing your hips! Let's see them!
Go on.
More!
This is for you.
- Yes!
Wait, the parcel has
been opened?-Yes.
I fnd that to be a foul
invasion of my privacy.
That a postal shipment
addressed to me is torn up!
It's the r-r-rules.
- Oh, the rules?
Don't be surprised if you'll be
meeting with the warden soon.
And if the parcel's contents
have been damaged, then I'll
hold you personally
accountable for that!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Well
Is that a guard's jacket?
- Close enough to one.
I don't think the guards
willlike that one bit.
As a free man in a free
society I choose what I wear.
You're not a free man,
you're in prison.
As a hallway manager,
I am a public servant.
You're a murderer in
hallway 3A of this prison.
When will you learn that
some things can't be changed?
And start serving your time?
- Not another word about this!
It is nobody's business
how I dress myself!
Uh, yes.
- No!
This will be a problem,
I'm telling you.
It's a letter from
Steingrímur J. Sigfússon!
Who's that?
"If the situation presents
itself, it would be a
true honor for us
to have you as a speaker."
Do you know what this means?
- Noooo
The Left-Green Party want
me to deliver a speech!
Did that come with the sweater?
I don't have to pay anything?
- Not at all.
It's always the opposite,
I thought I had to pay you.
I thought it was a typo.
- It isn't. How do you like it?
Looks great. -It's only
been driven 7000 kilometers.
Want to sit in it?
- I'd love to.
You look like you
were born to sit in it.
Am I looking good in it?
I'm a realtor, you know.
I have to look good, it
helps to sell the houses.
This one looks perfect.
- When do I get the money?
When you sign it.
- It's a win-win deal.
There are others coming
to have a look at it,
I'd make up my mind
quickly if I were you.
I'll take it, that
for certain. It's just
that I'm supposed to be
at a confrmation feast now.
I'd like to wrap this up
the moment that's done.
Take the papers and drive
the car. Test it a bit.
It's my right as a citizen
in a democratic society
to be allowed to participate
in politcal discussions.
The warden does not
w-w-want to see you.
But can't you give me
a leave of absence?
Things like this must be
d-d-done well in advance.
But the meeting is today!
This letter is 4 days old,
you have completely
failed in your duties!
It's not happening.
- You're just a guard.
You can't talk yourself into
the offce of prison warden.
There are r-r-r-
- Rules? But what of the
Universal Declaration of
Human Rghts? They're rules too.
Those rules do not apply here.
- They do not apply here?
Those words will be reported
to the Parliament Offce,
as well as the International
Criminal Court.
B-b-but-
- No buts, they will hear of
your personal actions in
violating the rights of
the inmates here. You can
expect a reprimand from
the Minister of Justice!
Do you understand
what you've done here!?!
Hello.
Mom?
They're banning me from
attending the meeting!
Oppressing me and denying me
from holding my politicalviews!
Watch your arrogance, Georg.
I've learned that what goes
around, comes around.
You'll have to accept that
some things are beyond
your control
- Pull up your pants, Ólafur!
Ólafur?
- Kenneth!
Your name is so hard to
pronounce.
We'll have to fnd a good
Icelandic name for you.
Kenneth.
- That's not Icelandic.
It doesn't even adhere
to our language rules.
It's always the same.
It's a slang word.
From now on, we will
call you
Ketill.
Yes. Ketill Máni.
A nice and fexible name.
I prefer being
called by my name.
Yes, Ketill.
What's your last name?
Kenneth
MániJohnson. It's Johnson.
That isn't Icelandic.
What's your mother's name?
Áslaug. -Then your last
name is Áslaugarson.
Is that allowed?
- Of course it is.
Many great men have their
names linked to their mothers.
I'll send a notifcation
to the National Registry.
It's just a formality.
Go now, I have to think.
What is my name now again?
- Ketill.
What's with you?
I'm just -Were the boys
messing with you?
They were just
- Take that thing off.
I'm drying my clothes.
They soaked them earlier.
Don't let them treat you
like this. Be a proud man.
Be determined. Don't show
any signs of weakness.
OK..
Shall we head into the artshop
and stroke some canvas?
Sure.
Where are my clothes?
Mmmm. Open up now.
There you go.
So, grandma. How are you?
- It's my birthday today.
Wellwe're actually at
Ásgeir's confrmation.
Oh?
Do I have a sweet
deal going here.
Leave the old woman alone.
- Can't I talk to my grandma?
I don't wanna go to school.
- There's no risk of that.
Put those papers away.
- It's not like it'a big thing.
She wanted to look at it.
- This is my husband.
It's a win-win deal, man.
- It's not a win-wn deal,
it's a scam-scam deal.
- Why is he paying me then?
If it was a scam, wouldn't
it be me paying him?
Are you going to ruin
Ásgeir's confrmation?
I'm not the one getting
riled up about this.
Excuse me?
- What?
Can it be that you're
wearing my clothes?
You're wearing clothes.
- Those are my clothes.
You think you're the only
woman that owns khaki pants?
They're marked with my
name. With my initials.
Marked with your name?
Mark my ass! Are you six?
Just sign here.
- Nah.
You're sure?
- Yeah.
I was gonna put it on
a bank account.
It's not safe to put
money into a bank nowadays.
It's better to leave out
all the middle men.
I can double this amount.
- How?
There are men here to see you.
- There are?
Oh, right on time.
Never let your grandfather
or Ólafur have any money.
Hello?
- Hi. Aren't you coming?
Coming where?-Weren't
we going to visit Daníel?
Right. Oh, it's you!
Wait, was that today?
Yes. Had you forgotten it?
- No, I just got the week wrong.
I'm on my way then.
- OK, cool.
It's strange with these
little people.
They turn evil the moment
they gain any sort of power.
It's my right as a free
citizen in a free society
to participate in
political discussions.
To deny me of that is a
clear violation of my rights.
It's nothing less than
political gagging!
Damn it
What a cool car you have.
- It's a Range Rover.
It's much cooler than
your old car.
This one is newer.
Is it far that we're going?
- It's just outside of town.
I have to be elsewhere
at 5 o'clock.
It's right by Hveragerði.
- We'll be there in no time.
Drive us to Hveragerði, please.
I was a creative kid, seeing
opportunities everywhere.
I knew loads of kids that
were too young for stuff,
like buying booze or
going to a dance.
So I sold them fake ID's
that I made myself.
How did you do that?
- My dad was a cop.
I could get my hands on
fresh ID papers.
You can do worse than
forge things.
People don't realize that
not everybody can do this.
It's like painting, where I
was grasping for the styles
of the old masters. Then I
saw that I was so good at it,
that I tried to sell some
forgeries to a bank.
That's why I'm here.
- I see.
But who else could
have done it as well?
The paintings aren't any
less magnifcent,
even though someone
else held the brush.
Don't you fnd it dull
to just imitate others?
It's been done and
- That's namely the point.
Everything's been done.
But you know you're unique.
Kjarval can't paint
like Picasso.
Picasso can't paint Matisse,
Matisse can't paint Lautrec,
Lautrec can't paint Gauguin,
but I paint like them all.
See. Jón Stefánsson.
It's exactly alike.
- Yes, sonny.
It's unacceptable that some
little man is bossing me around!
You claimed that the
Declaration of Human Rghts
didn't apply in here! I'm
looking forward to hearing
the verdict of the ICC
when they hear that a public
offcial, under the power
of the Minister of Justice,
declared otherwise! You have
failed in your duties Friðjón!
What the hell are you doing
here in those cl-cl-clothes?
And you've abused
your powers here!
I understand perfectly if
this is why your wfe left you!
I would leave you
too if I could!
You have personifed your
wife in myself!
You're smothering me Friðjón!
I, am, not, your wife!
Don't you dare d-drag
my w-w-w-wife into this-
A good example of your
failure to communicate!
You're trying to speak but
you can't say a whole word!
You're imprisoning us with
your speech impediment!
But just you wait, your
violations here against us
have been reported to the
proper authorities,
and the ICC in the Hague
Excuse me, are you
supposed to be here?
What's up?-Cars coming
in for a wash and shine.
Isn't it fun here?
- In here? No.
Can't really say that.
Where are the boys?
At my mom's. So we could
have a cozy time.
It was hard to fnd
this place.
Rght.
How did it go wth the test?
- It went real well.
Wait, but
Oh OK
They said that the boys
had your dna. -Dna?
Oh right, my D.N.A.
- That makes us a couple!
Did I just hit upon
a sweet deal here.
I couldn't believe it,
It's a Range Rover
that I'm buying, except
I don't have to pay for it.
I'm getting 500.000 for
taking the car. -What?
We'll split it even.
200 grand for each of us.
I just need you
to sign here.
You came here to make
me sign a loan for you?
No, I came here to
share money with you.
Let me see that.
17 and a half million.
How will you pay that?
It's a foreign
currency loan.
I'm not taking
part in this.
The car's really
comfortable.
It's more a house than a car.
You can take it to any garage
and they'll all say the same:
"Range Rover? What's that?"
Ólafur, me and Daníel
need to talk for a bit.
Can't you go anywhere
and pick me up later?
We want some private time.
- Oh. Rght.
I like having you here.
- Bye bye.
I'll just check out the
next town, or something.
Georg!
Just keep drivng, Ólafur.
What a magnifcent car!
- What are you doing here?
I had an upcoming leave
and decided to use the ride.
I told you, I've stopped
talking to you!
Take me to Hveragerði,
there we'll part ways.
You're tracked out the
whole car! It's a loaner!
Hótel Örk in Hveragerði,
that's where I get off.
What?
Keep driving, Ólafur.
- What are you doing?
Georg! Let go!
Stall them Ólafur!
Hello? -Hi there, aren't
you bringing my car back?
Sure. The man decided to
take a short drive,
shine it up a bit and such.
- But you are due back soon?
I'm just-
- Had you decided on the car?
Yeswell, I dunno.
I need to know if
it's insured frst.
Hello there.
Georg Bjarnfreðarson.
Yes, hello.
- We meet at last.
Wait, you're here for
the meeting?
You invited me.
- Yes. Welcome.
Don't you know who I am?
- No, I can't say I do.
Georg Bjarnfreðarson, son
of Bjarnfreður Geirsdóttir.
"Today I'm a woman,
tomorrow I'm a man."
Rght.
I'm looking forward to
I've prepared a speech
Exactly!
