An Honest Life (2025) Movie Script
This costs 185,000 Danish kroner.
It suits you.
I'd like to see a Piguet as well.
Here we have a Piguet Royal Oak Automatic.
It's classic watchmaking
with the characteristic
"Grande Tapisserie" clock face.
- And the price?
- This model costs 235,000 Danish kroner.
Help!
We need help here!
One moment.
- What's going on?
- We need help!
- Can you call an ambulance?
- Yes, of course.
- Turn her to her side.
- Yeah.
Are you okay?
I need an ambulance
to Christian IV's Gade.
It's urgent. A customer has collapsed.
- Hello?
- Take the watches.
There are no cameras.
This is your test.
Live your words.
Do what you say.
Action and opinion
should be one and the same.
Anything else leads to a dishonest life.
THE END OF EDDY
SEVEN WEEKS EARLIER
Welcome to Lund.
Lund.
45,000 students.
Just as many dreams.
My dream was to become an author.
But I had nothing to write about,
so I chose law instead.
Nine semesters to learn the rules.
A lifetime to apply them.
Hey! You dropped these!
I thought I chose my path.
I was so damn wrong.
Pigs!
Stop!
Police!
Stop!
Behind you!
Lie still!
- I haven't done anything!
- Lie still!
- Are you part of a group?
- What?
- What are you doing here?
- I'm going to study law.
For fuck's sake, Max!
- Come on! We have to leave!
- Who are you?
We're nobody. We're nothing.
Come on, Max!
WE'VE GOT THE ROPES AND THE DAGGERS
AN HONEST LIFE
- Right on time. Simon, right?
- Yes.
Sorry for the doorbell. We need to fix it.
I hope you didn't have
any problems getting here.
No, I just took a wrong turn.
I don't envy the police today.
Are you subletting,
or whose apartment is it?
No, it belongs to the family.
Make yourself at home.
My dad studied law here as well,
but he's never worked as a lawyer.
What does he do?
He runs a fund. Investments.
He works a lot with Eastern Europe, Asia.
Green energy and sustainability,
that sort of thing.
The middle shelf is yours.
Some of Totte's food is still there,
but go ahead and throw it away.
You'll stay in his room.
Since the little punk ditched us
for a sabbatical in Aix-en-Provence.
I'll never forgive him.
- Victor Wehlin.
- Simon.
Nice to meet you.
Likewise.
That's your room.
Listen, one more thing.
There's a two-month deposit for the room.
I might have forgotten to mention it.
It's all in the contract.
We're lawyers after all.
Keep it.
Ludvig. Welcome.
Thank you.
AMOUNT TRANSFERRED: 18,000 KR
ACCOUNT BALANCE: 478 KR
The room was way too expensive,
but I didn't want to stay
in some moldy dorm.
Ludvig and Victor
had everything from the start.
Self-confidence.
The right surname.
Ballpoint pens
that cost more than a month's rent.
I wanted everything they had.
Since 1668,
Lund University
has been educating students in law.
And today, you become a part
of our institution's proud history.
Over the next few weeks,
you'll acquaint yourselves with
and immerse yourselves
in the principles and rules
that form the basis
of the Swedish government.
Excuse me.
- Yes?
- Is this seat free?
Yes, of course.
Please take your seats.
Ex lege libertas.
From the law comes freedom.
Or alternatively,
from the laws comes freedom.
It's a Latin motto
that expresses the principle
that the rule of law
is a prerequisite for,
and not a limitation of,
individual liberty.
- I emailed about a part-time job.
- Grab a keg and come in.
Yeah.
Simon!
- Can you grab the glasses in the back?
- Yeah.
CIVIL SERVANHi!
In the chapter on the foundations
of discharge in the Criminal Code,
there's a section on mistake of law.
I want to emphasize that when lawyers
talk about mistake of law,
it differs from mistake of fact.
Mistake of law
I had always been at the top of my class.
Here, everyone was
at the top of the class.
But ignorance of the law
can't excuse a crime, can it?
I mean, then everyone would claim that.
- It's really hard to disprove.
- The principle Ignorantia iuris nocet.
Ignorance does not excuse a crime.
That's the one most commonly applied.
The exception to that rule is narrow
and only applies to situations
Is this spot free?
Yes.
Fredde.
Simon.
Nice watch.
A graduation gift?
Yes.
I got a pasta maker when I graduated.
What are you supposed to do
with a pasta maker?
Make pasta.
What happened to your face?
- I was at a nation and
- Which nation?
- stgta.
- Damn.
Fredde came from the sticks
and lived in a dorm at Vildanden.
I love this shit.
He was obsessed with laws and contracts.
Yeah, me too.
The fact that he took a shine to me
was worrying,
but I should've stuck with him.
DON'T FORGET CLEANER TUESDAY!
THE FUNDAMENTAL LAW
ON FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
Let me know
if you want to buy course literature.
At a special price, of course.
You can have the lot for
3,500.
Yeah, thank you.
But I think I'll buy new ones.
I completely understand.
New books are nicer, fresher.
- See you.
- Yeah.
The most ambitious lawyers
had already sprinted
to the beautiful university library.
There were rumors
that people were stealing books,
or at least hiding them.
All so that rival students
wouldn't be able to reference
the most important sources.
THE GIRL IN THE LIBRARY?
Just agree that it's soul-crushing.
You can't seriously find it interesting.
I'm not saying it's interesting,
just that you have the wrong attitude.
You don't have to love sales law,
just learn it.
Think of it
as rules of different board games.
A law degree is like learning the rules
of every board game in the world.
When you're done,
you get to play one of them.
That girl's staring at you.
- I don't care what it is.
- What?
Tax law, corporate law, IP law
As long as it's really fucking hard
and I get to decide my salary.
Want to grab a few beers
and make an exam study schedule?
Sure, but I'll join you later.
What?
I'll join you later!
Do you recognize me?
A law-abiding law student.
- Come.
- What?
Go! I'll join you later!
I had never met anyone like Max.
She was dangerous.
An aspiring lawyer
shouldn't associate with her.
What awful weather.
Yeah.
Don't worry. I'll pay.
This is all you should ever drink.
I'm living off of student loans.
This place reminds me of Sickler's.
Sickler's?
An expensive place
where young intellectuals
drink martinis and eat snails.
From Franny and Zooey,
a novel by Salinger.
Is that where Lane buys her lunch?
His name's Lane, right?
Her awful boyfriend?
Yeah.
So you've read it.
What did you write on the wall?
You've got the ships
We've got the waves
You've got the walls and the balconies
We've got the ropes and the daggers
And now, beloved
Come, let us sleep on the pavement
- A poem?
- A warning.
People need a warning.
You and your friends looked pretty
Professional.
We're just misfits trying to get by.
- Hi!
- Hey!
Hey, boys!
Who are they?
The guys I live with.
Ludvig Rehnskild and Victor
Something.
Why do you live with the wealthiest 1%?
They can't help where they come from.
We need more drinks.
I have to study.
No.
You have to do nothing.
Two more.
Are you sure you want to become a lawyer?
You seem more like an author.
I've got nothing to write about.
But you'd like to?
You study art history?
I dropped out.
Light and technique.
It means nothing. It evokes no feelings.
It's nostalgia. It's worthless.
Sounds like you were right to drop out.
Simon!
Come here.
William, this is Simon, our new tenant.
William Rosenius.
- Nice to meet you.
- Yeah.
Great that you're here.
We're having a dinner party tonight
for some friends and fellow students.
You're eating with us.
Sure, I'd love to.
- Hey.
- Yeah?
Have you been out drinking?
That's no good.
In this apartment, we ace our exams.
Make sure you don't fall behind.
Here's the tablecloth.
We're going for Nobel tableware
and a classic table setting.
- You want me to set the table?
- We'll do it together.
Wear a jacket and a white shirt.
- You know what I mean, right?
- Yes.
Let me know if you need a jacket.
Place the glasses from right to left
in the order
in which the wine will be served.
You've already started?
Nice.
Why don't you plate the starters?
We understand that it was educational.
But was it worth the effort?
That's what we're wondering.
I'd definitely say so.
We're talking New York,
summer internship at the UN.
We're talking 14-hour workdays,
six days a week
And the entire summer?
Ludde's superhuman.
Haven't you realized that yet?
The next step in evolution.
And a complete idiot.
Aggebagge,
are you going to your uncle's firm?
Oh, yes. Of course.
Of course.
Should we offer congratulations
or condolences?
Hey, Victor,
what does your family have to offer?
What about you, Sebbe?
Have you decided yet?
Don't ask. I have serious anxiety.
Don't worry, you're always welcome
at the Swedish Migration Agency.
The Barolo, please.
Together with your mom, you mean?
New watch?
- Yes.
- Can I have a look?
Certina.
Don't scratch it.
A graduation gift?
Stylish.
Just a moment. It's not every day
you see the finest Swiss quality.
Can I have it back?
Come on, Victor. Don't be a jerk.
We know you've got heavier gear.
Yeah, come on, Victor.
Bust it out. Give us the Hulk.
Yeah, show us.
Show us!
I paid for it myself,
but you know, you do what you can.
Here's to Simon.
No cash
Fast dough entices, it's easy to come by
No cash
Without dough you won't get anywhere
To those without a cent
Work hard, my friend
Soon you'll have cash to spend
To all those low on dough
Hit the gas full blast
You're going to need that cash
To those without a cent
Work hard, my friend
Soon you'll have cash to spend
Nothing comes for free
In these days of crunch
Hit the gas full blast
You're going to need that cash
No credit, only hard cash
Emeralds, jewels, and diamonds that last
Dough is the key to unlock every door
This is a robbery
Put the cash in the bag
Simon? Hey, we're heading out.
There's a bit left to do.
How about you do the dishes and vacuum
and dinner's on me?
Sure.
The crystal glasses
need to be washed by hand.
Victor, are we going or what?
Yes, let's go!
Thanks for cleaning up.
You'll have to excuse Victor.
It takes a while
to appreciate his sense of humor.
In order to write,
you have to expose yourself.
I'm kidnapping you.
Can you call it kidnapping
if I agree to it?
Typical lawyer comment.
- Have you lived in Lund long?
- Not really.
Where did you grow up?
Here and there.
My mom liked to move.
- And your dad?
- He lives in Spain. Tarifa.
My mom would leave
me and my sister with him
when she needed a break from us.
He worked a lot, so we'd just roam around.
It sounds more exciting than it was.
We're letting go today.
Take off your clothes.
What?
Take off your clothes.
I know you have it in you.
Come on, Simon!
Just do it!
You want this!
You love it.
Let's go again.
- Take it easy.
- Let's go again.
Simon!
Not there!
Simon!
Simon?
Simon!
Simon!
Lie still so we can see how hurt you are.
How many fingers?
Three.
Do we have to go to the hospital?
Nothing's broken.
This is my sister, Dinah.
Here.
Is it from the pharmacy?
You'll be in pain for a while.
Great first impression we're making.
He's completely out of it.
You should've thought about that
before sending him out onto the cliff.
He's got a split lip.
He's not dying of cancer.
Relax. He'll come around in a few hours.
You'd know, wouldn't you?
- What are we doing here?
- I live here.
You live in Grey Gardens?
Are you ready to meet Charles?
Who's Charles?
It's his house.
He says he was born here.
Maybe he was.
You never know with him.
If you want to get wasted,
ask for the wine.
Max.
And the new friend.
Welcome.
We've been waiting for you.
I'm Charles.
- You're looking better.
- Yeah.
- Thanks for
- Saving your life?
You're welcome.
Don't embarrass our guest.
That's not nice.
Don't mind them.
I've tried to educate them,
but they're like dogs.
Some are hopeless.
Gustaf.
Robin.
Here's to new friends
and great adventures.
-"You have to be always drunk"
-"That's all there is to it"
"So as not to feel
the horrible burden of time"
"That breaks you
and bends you to the earth"
"You have to be continually drunk"
Cheers!
Baudelaire.
Don't worry, Simon.
This is the only formality we indulge in.
We're not a simple student nation.
We encourage
every kind of break with tradition.
So go ahead, eat with your hands.
I get it. I'm an idiot
for not having studied art history.
What? It's bullshit.
It's as genuine
as energy drink commercials.
It says something about ownership and art,
that the art piece destroys itself.
Charles, come on. You get what I mean.
No, I don't. Max is right.
It's worse than just bullshit.
It's repetition.
Jean Tinguely blew up his installations
at MoMA in the '60s.
The '60s?
You're so fucking old.
Don't mind them.
Try Gustaf's chutney instead.
It's made from our own
Figs.
Isn't it ironic
that someone's paid for the piece?
That someone's spent money on an art piece
just to stand there with nothing?
Exactly.
Finally, someone who gets what I mean.
A free thinker.
Charles's house was in Professorstaden.
It was like something out of a novel.
The people in the house belonged together.
They were a family.
A flock.
I was drawn to them
like a moth to a flame.
- Can I help?
- Simon.
Come here.
Sit.
You're a guest here tonight.
You've gotten to know us a bit.
Now we'd like to know who you are.
Who I am?
I'm in law school.
Don't ask me why.
None of us believe in coincidence.
There's always a reason.
I wanted to do something that mattered,
the right thing.
I'm not from a wealthy
or well-educated family.
My parents have boring jobs.
Everyone I know has boring lives.
When I was younger,
I wanted to become an author, but I've got
nothing to write about.
Law felt like a safe choice.
But?
It's just about learning a bunch of rules.
I'll never get an internship at the UN
because I don't have any connections.
So I suppose Sartre was wrong.
Free choice doesn't exist.
A disillusioned existentialist.
Quiet.
All I know
is that I don't want to be bored.
Well then.
Here's to not being bored.
Are you wondering where you've ended up?
Charles has taught us to focus
on radical honesty.
No bullshit.
Action and opinion
should be one and the same.
Live your words. Do what you say.
Anything else leads to a dishonest life.
Victor Serge said that anarchism
demands everything of us, but
It also offers us everything in return.
Max seems to believe
you have what it takes.
Can you handle this?
I'm not sure I know what that means.
I should probably head home.
Already?
Before I embarrass myself.
There's no "embarrass yourself."
You're among
Among friends here.
Relax.
Forget your bourgeois upbringing.
Indulge yourself.
Who is he?
Charles is a professor
of political science.
Retired, but
He still teaches a course
on political anarchy.
It's his recruitment base.
He wants his lodgers
to share his views on life.
You fit in here.
Everyone likes you.
Especially Charles.
Have you read up on ministerial rule,
chapter 12
in the Instrument of Government?
I'm sure there'll be something on that.
They love to include current matters.
Makes them feel relevant.
- Look up the Swedish governance model.
- What?
Look up the Swedish governance model.

What did you say?
You're reading poetry.
Hola.
That's my buttermilk.
Excuse me?
It was on my shelf.
But it's cool, just buy a new one.
Are you serious?
It's 18 kronor.
- Want me to transfer you the money?
- I want you to stop eating my food.
I don't have as much money
as you and Victor.
RECEIVED: 18 KR
Nine semesters to learn the rules.
A lifetime to apply them.
So damn pointless.
Alice still hasn't said
if she mentioned administrative law.
- She did mention administrative law.
- Always refer to Section 4.
"Authorities may intervene
in private interest."
Shit!
I'm sure you'll do fine anyway.
Hey, I'm off.
But damn, Simon, it's tradition.
We have to celebrate our first exam.
- I'm so tired. I
- Come on! We're just getting started.
- Screw him.

Nobody knows for sure
why moths are drawn to light.
Some researchers believe
it's about the heat.
Others say they mistake it for the moon.
What is known is that they become trapped.

We're approaching terminus
and are expected to arrive
at Copenhagen Central Station on time.
I thought you hated old art.
You can make an exception.
Ganymede.
More beautiful than all others.
He was abducted by Zeus to serve
as his cupbearer and possibly his lover.
Is it poisonous?
I think we'll survive.
Life's too short
for things you aren't interested in.
Charles finds you interesting.
The rest of us like you too.
Do you want to move in?
This is where you say yes.
- I'd like nothing more.
- Good.
Welcome.
Can I help you?
I'm interested in your Hublot watches.
Good choice.
Are you interested
in any particular model?
Classic Fusion if you have it in stock.
A very good choice.
This costs 185,000 Danish kroner.
Let me see.
It suits you.
It costs more than my kidneys.
I've almost decided,
but I'd like to see a Piguet as well.
A Piguet? That puts us
in quite a different price bracket.
As you're probably aware.
They're nice, aren't they?
Here we have a Piguet Royal Oak Automatic.
It's classic watchmaking
with the characteristic
"Grande Tapisserie" clock face.
And the price?
This model costs 235,000 Danish kroner.
Or just under 400,000 Swedish kronor.
Help!
One moment. I'll be right back.
- We need help here!
- What's going on?
- Can you call an ambulance?
- Yes.
- Hello?
- Turn her onto her side.
I need an ambulance
to Christian IV's Gade.
A customer has collapsed.
She's unresponsive,
but they say she's breathing.
- Is she breathing?
- She's convulsing.
- Hello?
- Take the watches.
There are no cameras.
This is your test.
Okay, she's breathing.
She's breathing.
She's breathing, but
There's nothing else. Okay.
Du you know where you are? Hello?
Now, please!
Are you okay?
Yes.
Go!
Look down.
We're on our way.
- Give me them.
- What
- Give me all of them.
- What the fuck is this?!
- What the fuck are you doing?!
- Calm down! Be quiet! You did it.
We'll lie low for a while.
We had to see
if you had the right instinct.
Sit.
I don't think SWAT teams use the doorbell.
You're with us now.
You're with the bandits.
Let the wealth of others flow through you,
but don't let it stick.
If it hadn't been for Copenhagen,
I would've thought it was empty words.
A bunch of pompous university students
who thought they were chosen.
It's yours now.
But their resistance was real.
Max was real.
- Trust me.
- But why?
Back from the dead.
This is the only thing that helps.
Thank you.
Simon.
You've proven
that you want to be one of us,
that you want to live larger, wilder.
Are you ready for this?
A bottomless chasm runs through society.
Your life's trajectory
isn't determined by your abilities,
merits, or how hard you work,
but by inherited structures.
The odds of your life
are set at the moment
you open your eyes for the first time.
It's called privilege.
Do you agree?
Doesn't everyone?
The greatest illusion
of the modern welfare state
is the belief that providing healthcare
and education creates equal opportunity.
This places the blame
for any possible failures
squarely on the individual.
It's a genius way
to shield the economic elite
from criticism of a system
that only benefits them.
- So you want a revolution?
- No.
Theft is the act
of reclaiming and restoring property.
You're Robin Hood.
Yes.
We steal from those who don't deserve it.
We are the bandits.
We're illegal.
We don't want to be bored.
Just like you.
It's uglier than mine
and has a worse view.
Who lived here before?
A student.
But he never fit in.
Not like you.
Max.
Will you help with dessert?
Enough now.
Relax. Take it easy.
I worry about you.
- You don't have to. I'll quit.
- When?
Leave me alone. I know when to stop.
That's what all junkies say.
But I'm not a junkie.
I'm your sister.
Your big sister.
Simon. We were about
to report you missing.
I'm thinking about moving.
In a week.
That's quick.
Yes. I need one month's rent back.
I paid a two-month deposit,
and my notice period is one month.
That's a bit dishonorable.
You promised to stay one semester,
until Totte comes back.
Yes, but the notice period is one month
according to the contract you wrote.
We're lawyers after all.
My client wants 50,000 kronor in damages.
The basis being that the seller
deliberately manipulated the odometer
before the sale
in order to request a higher price.
Therefore,
it was intentional.
How does the defendant plead?
I dispute the claim.
It cannot be established
that it was the seller
who manipulated the odometer,
nor can it be proven
that this occurred
before the vehicle changed ownership.
And what evidence
do you wish to present to the court?
As evidence today,
I have a protocol from a mechanic
who has inspected the vehicle.
In the complaint,
it constitutes Appendix 3.
"We confuse the truth
with what we want the truth to be."
"The truth is that some have a lot,
others nothing."
"Is it immoral
to refuse to respect unfair rules?"
Interesting.
We're having a small gathering here
this weekend.
If you join,
you can have the deposit back,
provided that you help out a bit.
You know, fair rules
and all that.
Think of it as a farewell party.
Try to find the hinge in the oyster.
Then you pry it open.
You might want to be careful.
I mean, you don't know them.
Or are you also a thief?
I'm just not thinking very much.
I hope you realize that they're
Predators.
I know that they despise me.
They think I'm nothing
but a failed academic.
But they need me all the same
in their filthy little lives.
But you can still get out, Simon.
But not for long.
Just know this.
You're not the first.
Do you understand?
The tide is turning.
Time to go back.
"You have to be always drunk"
"So as not to feel
the horrible burden of time"
"That breaks you
and bends you to the earth"
"You have to be continually drunk"
Cheers!
- How long have you lived here?
- Two years.
Dinah took Charles's course on anarchism.
And then you moved in?
She's not doing well,
as you may have noticed.
She's stuck in this mess.
Is that why you're here?
To keep an eye on her?
She's my sister.
She's all I have.
You have me.
Is the party for the future elite tonight?
You're a slave to the upper class.
Leave it. Don't go.
I've promised to help out.
Then I'm free.
Thanks for last time.
Great to see you.
I'll sort it out.
Hey! Are you having a nice time?
Who's this? We haven't met.
- Dance?
- Yes, of course.
See you, Victor.
Simon.
There you are.
Can you refill the punch?
When do I get my deposit back?
Refill the punch.
Simon!
Can you help clean up?
Someone's spilled beer in the dining room.
Relax.
I am relaxed.
Now.
Ludvig can do it.
I don't think so.
He's got his hands full.
What the fuck do you want?
Absolutely nothing.
Go to bed. You look tired.
What the h
- Hey!
- You started it! Let go of me!
- Come on, let go of him!
- Let go of me!
Let go of me!
- Let go!
- No!
Get out! What the hell are you doing?
- You can forget that fucking deposit!
- Fucking cunt!
It's one o'clock.
Calm down, it's been 15 seconds.
You're always in such a hurry.
I need an AB grade, or I'll die.
If you were to get a BA, which you won't,
it's not the end of the world.
You can still get a job
in a depopulated area.
You're an evil woman.
AB?
Is it AB?
Come on.
Why isn't it working?
EXAM RESULTS
Yeah! Yes!
JURISPRUDENCE

- Where are you going?
- Simon?
- What did you get?
- A job in a depopulated area.
Self-pity.
Immature infatuation.
Put all memories in a box,
lock it, and throw away the key.
Forget I ever met Max.
I was repulsive.
We needed the keys
to Ludvig's parents' house in Malm.
His dad owns
Rehnskild Capital Management.
The fund administers one billion.
Taxable income last year was 23 million.
Who the fuck cares?
You fucked Ludvig for a set of keys?
Why didn't you just ask me?
Would you have said yes?
You're starting to take too many risks.
You're careless, impulsive, and violent.
It's not your decision.
You're not coming, so stay out of it.
If I get dragged into this shit,
then it is my decision.
But you like champagne
and beef tenderloin.
We've given you all the means
to live well.
That's not a goal in itself, not for us.
It's best to park here and enter here.
We'll have time before the camera sees us.
- You were there at lunch?
- It's empty. No one's there.
We can just enter.
No.
I'm too old to go to prison.
There's at least one Porsche.
Probably more cars.
This is bigger than the watches.
You're in,
if you want.
I'm done being on the sidelines.
Here.
Stay close to Max.
If you start to panic, just breathe.
Don't turn on any lights.
Keep your mouth shut.
- For fuck's sake, Max.
- We're leaving a message.
What the fuck
We need to go now.
Get the fuck up.
We don't leave any traces.
But what if she dies?
Then she dies.
YOU'VE GOT THE WALLS
WE'VE GOT THE ROPES
SINCERELY, VICTOR SERGE CAPITAL MANAGEMENShit.
Turn off the engine.
- Is the tail light broken?
- Can I see your license?
It's at home. I took the wrong jacket.
I'm on my way home from work.
Do you have something
that can identify you?
No. I didn't think I'd get pulled over.
Name and personal identity number, please.
To check your license, I need your name
and personal identity number.
Minna Haddad, 010316-4423.
If you're going to fine me, do it now.
I've worked 12 hours.
I need to go home and sleep.
Step out of the car.
Which section is this?
Don't touch me!
Do you have a search warrant?
No, Robin. No.
What are your names?
I want to report this.
That attitude won't get you far.
Open the back door.
Let go and I'll open it.
Drive!
Drive!
Did you write this
before or after you shot the housekeeper?
It was an accident.
I hope so, or you have serious problems.
Give me the gun.
Robin!
What do you want me to say? I'm an idiot.
I'm sorry.
No!
You're out of your fucking mind!
You're dead!
Stop it. Don't touch me.
We got 550,000 for the cars.
We'll take 400,000.
You get 150,000.
My contact will take 20% for laundering
and depositing the money in your account.
So this is how it ends?
You're buying your way out.
Damn.
You need to go home.
You were with some fellow students,
watching a movie, and it got late.
When Ludvig tells you, you act shocked.
- We need to call the police.
- No.
You need to go home and put the keys back.
- Max, listen to me.
- Shut up.
She's not breathing.
She's breathing now.
She's breathing, but
She's unresponsive, but she's breathing.
You're threatening me?
He's got to go.
Pack your stuff. We're leaving in an hour.
Forget us. We've never met.
Lie low.
As long as there's no link to any of us,
you'll be fine.
You can't fucking leave me!
You can't drag me into this and leave me!
No one dragged you into this.
You chose it.
I can tell them who you are.
You don't know who we are.
You don't know our names.
You don't know anything.
Get a move on.
And ditch him!
- I told you not to fall in love!
- Shut up!
Wait for me.
I'll be in touch.
I don't even know your name.
Yes, hello?
I'll get a taxi.
Victor?
One minute.
My parents have been burglarized.
Joyce has been shot.
- Who's Joyce?
- The housekeeper.
I have to go.
- Is she alive?
- I don't know. She's in the ICU.
- Have you seen my keys?
- No.
That's my taxi.
It's cold outside.
What?
Take your coat.
Do you know how loaded
your friend's dad is?
How can you own a fund?
It's like owning a planet.
We're not friends. I just live there.
It seems to have been
some sort of Red Army Faction group.
Did they take anything besides the cars?
How the hell should I know?
Look, you can buy tote bags saying,
"You've got the walls.
We've got the ropes."
That's in bad taste.
Yeah, but a bit clever.
Will you get mad if I buy one?
The number is not in use.
Check the number
or contact directory assistance.
How's Joyce?
That was her name, right?
She's still anesthetized.
They'll try to wake her in a few days.
Hopefully her children
will be here by then.
Dad booked
the earliest tickets he could find.
Will she remember anything,
from the burglary?
No idea.
- What did the police say?
- Nothing, just that they were terrorists.
Do you know who Victor Serge is?
Apparently, he's some old communist.
Not that you're a communist,
but you read a lot.
He wasn't a communist.
He was an anarchist.
He believed in rebellion,
striking those he felt
didn't deserve what they had.
Joyce has been with us for five years.
She sends all her money back home
so that her grandchildren
can go to a private school in Santiago.
In what way
hasn't she deserved what she has?
Thirst burns in our throats
Our tongues hang dry, stiff and rigid
But soon there will be big, long gulps
And everyone will get their fair share
Behind!
Come on, pick up the pace.
Come on, let's go.
The second praises life like a cloud
The third is felt from head to
- Is this the vegan option?
- Yes.
Cheers!
Everyone gets laid at Lund's Nation!
Ow! What the hell?
Ludvig was right.
Joyce didn't own any walls or balconies.
Nothing justified what we had done.
Where are they?
I have no idea.
They're completely wild.
They do as they please.
You said I wasn't the first.
What did you mean by that?
I don't remember.
I guess you awakened my paternal instinct.
Stop, for fuck's sake!
I need to find them! Where are they?
This is all I know.
You could've fit in here.
If everything had been different.
Don't come here again.
ROOM 1324
Excuse me.
I'm looking for Henrik Jonsson.
Yeah
He lived here last semester,
but he never returned after the summer.
I didn't even know who he was
until everyone started talking about
him being missing.
Missing?
Excuse me!
Strange question, but
Do you know Charles?
People thought Henrik was weird,
but that's because they didn't know him.
He met a girl last winter.
He was going to move in with her,
but then it ended.
He was devastated. And
This part is a bit weird, I know.
Before Henrik went missing, he said that
if anyone who knew Charles
came looking for him,
I should give them this library receipt.
UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
MEMOIRS OF A REVOLUTIONARY
Here it is.
Tell your course coordinator to notify us
if the book is part of a new course.
You're the second person to borrow it
in three months.
MEMOIRS OF A REVOLUTIONARY
Excuse me, what are you doing?
The pages were stuck.
I'm just trying to read.
You have to report that to us.
You'll ruin the book.
No, I I won't ruin it.
I'll be careful.
MAX: LEA VALVERDE
DINAH: BELINDA VALVERDE

You don't know who we are.
We're nobody.
You don't know our names.
We're nothing.
Hello?
Charles?
Charles?
The doctrine of assumption
is a principle for contract interpretation
which considers
how the contract was written
if you, at the time of the agreement,
knew of the events that had occurred.
In the Skarin case
Simon.
We're going to a nation,
and you're coming.
Music quiz at Helsingkrona.
Attendance is mandatory.
Is that only activity
can lead to obligation.
Passivity is an exception,
and exceptions
should be applied extensively.
Hello?
Max?
Where are you? Say something.
I've left them.
Where are you going?
I need your help.
You're all I've got now.
I've booked a room
at the hotel Stiller in Stockholm,
under the name Bonnot.
Everything's paid for.
Meet me there tomorrow night.
Being illegal demands everything of you.
It demands doing the right thing,
living as you learn.
Otherwise, you're just a thief.
A murderer.
A predator.
Max.
Dinah.
Gustaf.
Robin.
To me, those are still your names.
I was your useful idiot.
But you underestimated me.
You think I don't know who you are.
But it's you who don't know who I am.
IF I SAID NO, IT WOULD ALL END
This is my life insurance.
JOYCE WAS SHOT,
LYING ON THE FLOOR, BLEEDING
WE ARE THE BANDITS
Damn idiot.
You're fucking insane.
What are you doing here?
I'm on my way to Stockholm.
I'm going on a study visit
to the parliament.
I had some time to spare.
How's Mom?
Same as always.
And Dad?
How should I know?
I think he's applied for a job, but
Have you started doing drugs?
You look like a junkie.
- No.
- So what's the matter?
Do you remember in high school?
- When I struggled with Joyce and Faulkner?
- No.
I tried to like them.
Are you sure you should go
anywhere else than the psych ward?
If anything should happen,
I want you to have those books.
- They're in my room.
- Seriously, what's going on?
- Just say yes.
- Yes, as you wish, fucking freak.
Promise you won't forget.
Joyce and Faulkner?
You're my bro, bro.
Yes.
I'm just tired.
Don't tell Mom I was here.
No.
Excuse me.
Is this a hotel?
You're not the first to ask that.
Do you have a reservation?
I think so. Bonnot.
One moment.
Room 12. Lovely.
This way.
No luggage?
No.
This evening, we're serving veal tartare
and cod with horseradish.
Please.
Your secretary said
that it was important you had a balcony.
- Yes.
- Just let me know if you need anything.
We make a revolutionary Negroni.
BILLIONAIRE FINANCIER MARIA CONTI
VISITS STOCKHOLM
Please, don't talk.
I read the obituary.
Charles would've hated it.
I'm sorry.
What the hell?
What?
Take his phone.
What the hell is this?
That's none of your business.
Will you stay calm
or do I need to tie you up?
- Tie him up.
- He'll stay calm.
- Tell me what you're going to do.
- We're going to kill you.
Cut it out.
We're taking what we need
and sending a message.
- That's why we're here.
- You want this?
After we leave the hotel,
you'll never see us again.
Not a second longer.
Stay here.
I need the code.
WE'VE GOT THE ROPES AND THE DAGGERS
Hello?
Gustaf.
Gustaf.
Help us, you fucking psycho!
We have to get him out of here now.
Fuck!
Drive!
He needs to go to the hospital.
He's bleeding out.
I know.
Get out.
Hurry up!
Leave him outside. Don't go in.
Promise me.
Don't worry. See you later.
Stop. Stop, damn it.
My phone.
Your name isn't Max, it's Lea.
Valverde.
I know your names.
I have your personal identity numbers.
If anything happens to me, you'll go down.
I'm done with you now.
Henrik Jonsson.
That was his name, right?
The poor bastard you used
until he couldn't take it anymore.
Then you found me.
It wasn't like that.
There was more to it.
Fuck.
You have something to write about.
Live your words.
Do what you say.
Action and opinion
should be one and the same.
Anything else leads to a dishonest life.
Subtitle translation by:
Josephine Roos Henriksson
It suits you.
I'd like to see a Piguet as well.
Here we have a Piguet Royal Oak Automatic.
It's classic watchmaking
with the characteristic
"Grande Tapisserie" clock face.
- And the price?
- This model costs 235,000 Danish kroner.
Help!
We need help here!
One moment.
- What's going on?
- We need help!
- Can you call an ambulance?
- Yes, of course.
- Turn her to her side.
- Yeah.
Are you okay?
I need an ambulance
to Christian IV's Gade.
It's urgent. A customer has collapsed.
- Hello?
- Take the watches.
There are no cameras.
This is your test.
Live your words.
Do what you say.
Action and opinion
should be one and the same.
Anything else leads to a dishonest life.
THE END OF EDDY
SEVEN WEEKS EARLIER
Welcome to Lund.
Lund.
45,000 students.
Just as many dreams.
My dream was to become an author.
But I had nothing to write about,
so I chose law instead.
Nine semesters to learn the rules.
A lifetime to apply them.
Hey! You dropped these!
I thought I chose my path.
I was so damn wrong.
Pigs!
Stop!
Police!
Stop!
Behind you!
Lie still!
- I haven't done anything!
- Lie still!
- Are you part of a group?
- What?
- What are you doing here?
- I'm going to study law.
For fuck's sake, Max!
- Come on! We have to leave!
- Who are you?
We're nobody. We're nothing.
Come on, Max!
WE'VE GOT THE ROPES AND THE DAGGERS
AN HONEST LIFE
- Right on time. Simon, right?
- Yes.
Sorry for the doorbell. We need to fix it.
I hope you didn't have
any problems getting here.
No, I just took a wrong turn.
I don't envy the police today.
Are you subletting,
or whose apartment is it?
No, it belongs to the family.
Make yourself at home.
My dad studied law here as well,
but he's never worked as a lawyer.
What does he do?
He runs a fund. Investments.
He works a lot with Eastern Europe, Asia.
Green energy and sustainability,
that sort of thing.
The middle shelf is yours.
Some of Totte's food is still there,
but go ahead and throw it away.
You'll stay in his room.
Since the little punk ditched us
for a sabbatical in Aix-en-Provence.
I'll never forgive him.
- Victor Wehlin.
- Simon.
Nice to meet you.
Likewise.
That's your room.
Listen, one more thing.
There's a two-month deposit for the room.
I might have forgotten to mention it.
It's all in the contract.
We're lawyers after all.
Keep it.
Ludvig. Welcome.
Thank you.
AMOUNT TRANSFERRED: 18,000 KR
ACCOUNT BALANCE: 478 KR
The room was way too expensive,
but I didn't want to stay
in some moldy dorm.
Ludvig and Victor
had everything from the start.
Self-confidence.
The right surname.
Ballpoint pens
that cost more than a month's rent.
I wanted everything they had.
Since 1668,
Lund University
has been educating students in law.
And today, you become a part
of our institution's proud history.
Over the next few weeks,
you'll acquaint yourselves with
and immerse yourselves
in the principles and rules
that form the basis
of the Swedish government.
Excuse me.
- Yes?
- Is this seat free?
Yes, of course.
Please take your seats.
Ex lege libertas.
From the law comes freedom.
Or alternatively,
from the laws comes freedom.
It's a Latin motto
that expresses the principle
that the rule of law
is a prerequisite for,
and not a limitation of,
individual liberty.
- I emailed about a part-time job.
- Grab a keg and come in.
Yeah.
Simon!
- Can you grab the glasses in the back?
- Yeah.
CIVIL SERVANHi!
In the chapter on the foundations
of discharge in the Criminal Code,
there's a section on mistake of law.
I want to emphasize that when lawyers
talk about mistake of law,
it differs from mistake of fact.
Mistake of law
I had always been at the top of my class.
Here, everyone was
at the top of the class.
But ignorance of the law
can't excuse a crime, can it?
I mean, then everyone would claim that.
- It's really hard to disprove.
- The principle Ignorantia iuris nocet.
Ignorance does not excuse a crime.
That's the one most commonly applied.
The exception to that rule is narrow
and only applies to situations
Is this spot free?
Yes.
Fredde.
Simon.
Nice watch.
A graduation gift?
Yes.
I got a pasta maker when I graduated.
What are you supposed to do
with a pasta maker?
Make pasta.
What happened to your face?
- I was at a nation and
- Which nation?
- stgta.
- Damn.
Fredde came from the sticks
and lived in a dorm at Vildanden.
I love this shit.
He was obsessed with laws and contracts.
Yeah, me too.
The fact that he took a shine to me
was worrying,
but I should've stuck with him.
DON'T FORGET CLEANER TUESDAY!
THE FUNDAMENTAL LAW
ON FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
Let me know
if you want to buy course literature.
At a special price, of course.
You can have the lot for
3,500.
Yeah, thank you.
But I think I'll buy new ones.
I completely understand.
New books are nicer, fresher.
- See you.
- Yeah.
The most ambitious lawyers
had already sprinted
to the beautiful university library.
There were rumors
that people were stealing books,
or at least hiding them.
All so that rival students
wouldn't be able to reference
the most important sources.
THE GIRL IN THE LIBRARY?
Just agree that it's soul-crushing.
You can't seriously find it interesting.
I'm not saying it's interesting,
just that you have the wrong attitude.
You don't have to love sales law,
just learn it.
Think of it
as rules of different board games.
A law degree is like learning the rules
of every board game in the world.
When you're done,
you get to play one of them.
That girl's staring at you.
- I don't care what it is.
- What?
Tax law, corporate law, IP law
As long as it's really fucking hard
and I get to decide my salary.
Want to grab a few beers
and make an exam study schedule?
Sure, but I'll join you later.
What?
I'll join you later!
Do you recognize me?
A law-abiding law student.
- Come.
- What?
Go! I'll join you later!
I had never met anyone like Max.
She was dangerous.
An aspiring lawyer
shouldn't associate with her.
What awful weather.
Yeah.
Don't worry. I'll pay.
This is all you should ever drink.
I'm living off of student loans.
This place reminds me of Sickler's.
Sickler's?
An expensive place
where young intellectuals
drink martinis and eat snails.
From Franny and Zooey,
a novel by Salinger.
Is that where Lane buys her lunch?
His name's Lane, right?
Her awful boyfriend?
Yeah.
So you've read it.
What did you write on the wall?
You've got the ships
We've got the waves
You've got the walls and the balconies
We've got the ropes and the daggers
And now, beloved
Come, let us sleep on the pavement
- A poem?
- A warning.
People need a warning.
You and your friends looked pretty
Professional.
We're just misfits trying to get by.
- Hi!
- Hey!
Hey, boys!
Who are they?
The guys I live with.
Ludvig Rehnskild and Victor
Something.
Why do you live with the wealthiest 1%?
They can't help where they come from.
We need more drinks.
I have to study.
No.
You have to do nothing.
Two more.
Are you sure you want to become a lawyer?
You seem more like an author.
I've got nothing to write about.
But you'd like to?
You study art history?
I dropped out.
Light and technique.
It means nothing. It evokes no feelings.
It's nostalgia. It's worthless.
Sounds like you were right to drop out.
Simon!
Come here.
William, this is Simon, our new tenant.
William Rosenius.
- Nice to meet you.
- Yeah.
Great that you're here.
We're having a dinner party tonight
for some friends and fellow students.
You're eating with us.
Sure, I'd love to.
- Hey.
- Yeah?
Have you been out drinking?
That's no good.
In this apartment, we ace our exams.
Make sure you don't fall behind.
Here's the tablecloth.
We're going for Nobel tableware
and a classic table setting.
- You want me to set the table?
- We'll do it together.
Wear a jacket and a white shirt.
- You know what I mean, right?
- Yes.
Let me know if you need a jacket.
Place the glasses from right to left
in the order
in which the wine will be served.
You've already started?
Nice.
Why don't you plate the starters?
We understand that it was educational.
But was it worth the effort?
That's what we're wondering.
I'd definitely say so.
We're talking New York,
summer internship at the UN.
We're talking 14-hour workdays,
six days a week
And the entire summer?
Ludde's superhuman.
Haven't you realized that yet?
The next step in evolution.
And a complete idiot.
Aggebagge,
are you going to your uncle's firm?
Oh, yes. Of course.
Of course.
Should we offer congratulations
or condolences?
Hey, Victor,
what does your family have to offer?
What about you, Sebbe?
Have you decided yet?
Don't ask. I have serious anxiety.
Don't worry, you're always welcome
at the Swedish Migration Agency.
The Barolo, please.
Together with your mom, you mean?
New watch?
- Yes.
- Can I have a look?
Certina.
Don't scratch it.
A graduation gift?
Stylish.
Just a moment. It's not every day
you see the finest Swiss quality.
Can I have it back?
Come on, Victor. Don't be a jerk.
We know you've got heavier gear.
Yeah, come on, Victor.
Bust it out. Give us the Hulk.
Yeah, show us.
Show us!
I paid for it myself,
but you know, you do what you can.
Here's to Simon.
No cash
Fast dough entices, it's easy to come by
No cash
Without dough you won't get anywhere
To those without a cent
Work hard, my friend
Soon you'll have cash to spend
To all those low on dough
Hit the gas full blast
You're going to need that cash
To those without a cent
Work hard, my friend
Soon you'll have cash to spend
Nothing comes for free
In these days of crunch
Hit the gas full blast
You're going to need that cash
No credit, only hard cash
Emeralds, jewels, and diamonds that last
Dough is the key to unlock every door
This is a robbery
Put the cash in the bag
Simon? Hey, we're heading out.
There's a bit left to do.
How about you do the dishes and vacuum
and dinner's on me?
Sure.
The crystal glasses
need to be washed by hand.
Victor, are we going or what?
Yes, let's go!
Thanks for cleaning up.
You'll have to excuse Victor.
It takes a while
to appreciate his sense of humor.
In order to write,
you have to expose yourself.
I'm kidnapping you.
Can you call it kidnapping
if I agree to it?
Typical lawyer comment.
- Have you lived in Lund long?
- Not really.
Where did you grow up?
Here and there.
My mom liked to move.
- And your dad?
- He lives in Spain. Tarifa.
My mom would leave
me and my sister with him
when she needed a break from us.
He worked a lot, so we'd just roam around.
It sounds more exciting than it was.
We're letting go today.
Take off your clothes.
What?
Take off your clothes.
I know you have it in you.
Come on, Simon!
Just do it!
You want this!
You love it.
Let's go again.
- Take it easy.
- Let's go again.
Simon!
Not there!
Simon!
Simon?
Simon!
Simon!
Lie still so we can see how hurt you are.
How many fingers?
Three.
Do we have to go to the hospital?
Nothing's broken.
This is my sister, Dinah.
Here.
Is it from the pharmacy?
You'll be in pain for a while.
Great first impression we're making.
He's completely out of it.
You should've thought about that
before sending him out onto the cliff.
He's got a split lip.
He's not dying of cancer.
Relax. He'll come around in a few hours.
You'd know, wouldn't you?
- What are we doing here?
- I live here.
You live in Grey Gardens?
Are you ready to meet Charles?
Who's Charles?
It's his house.
He says he was born here.
Maybe he was.
You never know with him.
If you want to get wasted,
ask for the wine.
Max.
And the new friend.
Welcome.
We've been waiting for you.
I'm Charles.
- You're looking better.
- Yeah.
- Thanks for
- Saving your life?
You're welcome.
Don't embarrass our guest.
That's not nice.
Don't mind them.
I've tried to educate them,
but they're like dogs.
Some are hopeless.
Gustaf.
Robin.
Here's to new friends
and great adventures.
-"You have to be always drunk"
-"That's all there is to it"
"So as not to feel
the horrible burden of time"
"That breaks you
and bends you to the earth"
"You have to be continually drunk"
Cheers!
Baudelaire.
Don't worry, Simon.
This is the only formality we indulge in.
We're not a simple student nation.
We encourage
every kind of break with tradition.
So go ahead, eat with your hands.
I get it. I'm an idiot
for not having studied art history.
What? It's bullshit.
It's as genuine
as energy drink commercials.
It says something about ownership and art,
that the art piece destroys itself.
Charles, come on. You get what I mean.
No, I don't. Max is right.
It's worse than just bullshit.
It's repetition.
Jean Tinguely blew up his installations
at MoMA in the '60s.
The '60s?
You're so fucking old.
Don't mind them.
Try Gustaf's chutney instead.
It's made from our own
Figs.
Isn't it ironic
that someone's paid for the piece?
That someone's spent money on an art piece
just to stand there with nothing?
Exactly.
Finally, someone who gets what I mean.
A free thinker.
Charles's house was in Professorstaden.
It was like something out of a novel.
The people in the house belonged together.
They were a family.
A flock.
I was drawn to them
like a moth to a flame.
- Can I help?
- Simon.
Come here.
Sit.
You're a guest here tonight.
You've gotten to know us a bit.
Now we'd like to know who you are.
Who I am?
I'm in law school.
Don't ask me why.
None of us believe in coincidence.
There's always a reason.
I wanted to do something that mattered,
the right thing.
I'm not from a wealthy
or well-educated family.
My parents have boring jobs.
Everyone I know has boring lives.
When I was younger,
I wanted to become an author, but I've got
nothing to write about.
Law felt like a safe choice.
But?
It's just about learning a bunch of rules.
I'll never get an internship at the UN
because I don't have any connections.
So I suppose Sartre was wrong.
Free choice doesn't exist.
A disillusioned existentialist.
Quiet.
All I know
is that I don't want to be bored.
Well then.
Here's to not being bored.
Are you wondering where you've ended up?
Charles has taught us to focus
on radical honesty.
No bullshit.
Action and opinion
should be one and the same.
Live your words. Do what you say.
Anything else leads to a dishonest life.
Victor Serge said that anarchism
demands everything of us, but
It also offers us everything in return.
Max seems to believe
you have what it takes.
Can you handle this?
I'm not sure I know what that means.
I should probably head home.
Already?
Before I embarrass myself.
There's no "embarrass yourself."
You're among
Among friends here.
Relax.
Forget your bourgeois upbringing.
Indulge yourself.
Who is he?
Charles is a professor
of political science.
Retired, but
He still teaches a course
on political anarchy.
It's his recruitment base.
He wants his lodgers
to share his views on life.
You fit in here.
Everyone likes you.
Especially Charles.
Have you read up on ministerial rule,
chapter 12
in the Instrument of Government?
I'm sure there'll be something on that.
They love to include current matters.
Makes them feel relevant.
- Look up the Swedish governance model.
- What?
Look up the Swedish governance model.
INSTRUMENT OF GOVERNMENT (1974:152)

POETRY PORTAL
You've got the ships
We've got the waves
You've got the words
We've got the mud
You've got the walls and the balconies
We've got the ropes and the daggers
Is there anything on reporting
to the Committee on the Constitution?
What did you say?
You're reading poetry.
Hola.
That's my buttermilk.
Excuse me?
It was on my shelf.
But it's cool, just buy a new one.
Are you serious?
It's 18 kronor.
- Want me to transfer you the money?
- I want you to stop eating my food.
I don't have as much money
as you and Victor.
RECEIVED: 18 KR
Nine semesters to learn the rules.
A lifetime to apply them.
So damn pointless.
Alice still hasn't said
if she mentioned administrative law.
- She did mention administrative law.
- Always refer to Section 4.
"Authorities may intervene
in private interest."
Shit!
I'm sure you'll do fine anyway.
Hey, I'm off.
But damn, Simon, it's tradition.
We have to celebrate our first exam.
- I'm so tired. I
- Come on! We're just getting started.
- Screw him.
- Do you want to dance?
Nobody knows for sure
why moths are drawn to light.
Some researchers believe
it's about the heat.
Others say they mistake it for the moon.
What is known is that they become trapped.

LUND UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR FINED
We're approaching terminus
and are expected to arrive
at Copenhagen Central Station on time.
I thought you hated old art.
You can make an exception.
Ganymede.
More beautiful than all others.
He was abducted by Zeus to serve
as his cupbearer and possibly his lover.
Is it poisonous?
I think we'll survive.
Life's too short
for things you aren't interested in.
Charles finds you interesting.
The rest of us like you too.
Do you want to move in?
This is where you say yes.
- I'd like nothing more.
- Good.
Welcome.
Can I help you?
I'm interested in your Hublot watches.
Good choice.
Are you interested
in any particular model?
Classic Fusion if you have it in stock.
A very good choice.
This costs 185,000 Danish kroner.
Let me see.
It suits you.
It costs more than my kidneys.
I've almost decided,
but I'd like to see a Piguet as well.
A Piguet? That puts us
in quite a different price bracket.
As you're probably aware.
They're nice, aren't they?
Here we have a Piguet Royal Oak Automatic.
It's classic watchmaking
with the characteristic
"Grande Tapisserie" clock face.
And the price?
This model costs 235,000 Danish kroner.
Or just under 400,000 Swedish kronor.
Help!
One moment. I'll be right back.
- We need help here!
- What's going on?
- Can you call an ambulance?
- Yes.
- Hello?
- Turn her onto her side.
I need an ambulance
to Christian IV's Gade.
A customer has collapsed.
She's unresponsive,
but they say she's breathing.
- Is she breathing?
- She's convulsing.
- Hello?
- Take the watches.
There are no cameras.
This is your test.
Okay, she's breathing.
She's breathing.
She's breathing, but
There's nothing else. Okay.
Du you know where you are? Hello?
Now, please!
Are you okay?
Yes.
Go!
Look down.
We're on our way.
- Give me them.
- What
- Give me all of them.
- What the fuck is this?!
- What the fuck are you doing?!
- Calm down! Be quiet! You did it.
We'll lie low for a while.
We had to see
if you had the right instinct.
Sit.
I don't think SWAT teams use the doorbell.
You're with us now.
You're with the bandits.
Let the wealth of others flow through you,
but don't let it stick.
If it hadn't been for Copenhagen,
I would've thought it was empty words.
A bunch of pompous university students
who thought they were chosen.
It's yours now.
But their resistance was real.
Max was real.
- Trust me.
- But why?
Back from the dead.
This is the only thing that helps.
Thank you.
Simon.
You've proven
that you want to be one of us,
that you want to live larger, wilder.
Are you ready for this?
A bottomless chasm runs through society.
Your life's trajectory
isn't determined by your abilities,
merits, or how hard you work,
but by inherited structures.
The odds of your life
are set at the moment
you open your eyes for the first time.
It's called privilege.
Do you agree?
Doesn't everyone?
The greatest illusion
of the modern welfare state
is the belief that providing healthcare
and education creates equal opportunity.
This places the blame
for any possible failures
squarely on the individual.
It's a genius way
to shield the economic elite
from criticism of a system
that only benefits them.
- So you want a revolution?
- No.
Theft is the act
of reclaiming and restoring property.
You're Robin Hood.
Yes.
We steal from those who don't deserve it.
We are the bandits.
We're illegal.
We don't want to be bored.
Just like you.
It's uglier than mine
and has a worse view.
Who lived here before?
A student.
But he never fit in.
Not like you.
Max.
Will you help with dessert?
Enough now.
Relax. Take it easy.
I worry about you.
- You don't have to. I'll quit.
- When?
Leave me alone. I know when to stop.
That's what all junkies say.
But I'm not a junkie.
I'm your sister.
Your big sister.
Simon. We were about
to report you missing.
I'm thinking about moving.
In a week.
That's quick.
Yes. I need one month's rent back.
I paid a two-month deposit,
and my notice period is one month.
That's a bit dishonorable.
You promised to stay one semester,
until Totte comes back.
Yes, but the notice period is one month
according to the contract you wrote.
We're lawyers after all.
My client wants 50,000 kronor in damages.
The basis being that the seller
deliberately manipulated the odometer
before the sale
in order to request a higher price.
Therefore,
it was intentional.
How does the defendant plead?
I dispute the claim.
It cannot be established
that it was the seller
who manipulated the odometer,
nor can it be proven
that this occurred
before the vehicle changed ownership.
And what evidence
do you wish to present to the court?
As evidence today,
I have a protocol from a mechanic
who has inspected the vehicle.
In the complaint,
it constitutes Appendix 3.
"We confuse the truth
with what we want the truth to be."
"The truth is that some have a lot,
others nothing."
"Is it immoral
to refuse to respect unfair rules?"
Interesting.
We're having a small gathering here
this weekend.
If you join,
you can have the deposit back,
provided that you help out a bit.
You know, fair rules
and all that.
Think of it as a farewell party.
Try to find the hinge in the oyster.
Then you pry it open.
You might want to be careful.
I mean, you don't know them.
Or are you also a thief?
I'm just not thinking very much.
I hope you realize that they're
Predators.
I know that they despise me.
They think I'm nothing
but a failed academic.
But they need me all the same
in their filthy little lives.
But you can still get out, Simon.
But not for long.
Just know this.
You're not the first.
Do you understand?
The tide is turning.
Time to go back.
"You have to be always drunk"
"So as not to feel
the horrible burden of time"
"That breaks you
and bends you to the earth"
"You have to be continually drunk"
Cheers!
- How long have you lived here?
- Two years.
Dinah took Charles's course on anarchism.
And then you moved in?
She's not doing well,
as you may have noticed.
She's stuck in this mess.
Is that why you're here?
To keep an eye on her?
She's my sister.
She's all I have.
You have me.
Is the party for the future elite tonight?
You're a slave to the upper class.
Leave it. Don't go.
I've promised to help out.
Then I'm free.
Thanks for last time.
Great to see you.
I'll sort it out.
Hey! Are you having a nice time?
Who's this? We haven't met.
- Dance?
- Yes, of course.
See you, Victor.
Simon.
There you are.
Can you refill the punch?
When do I get my deposit back?
Refill the punch.
Simon!
Can you help clean up?
Someone's spilled beer in the dining room.
Relax.
I am relaxed.
Now.
Ludvig can do it.
I don't think so.
He's got his hands full.
What the fuck do you want?
Absolutely nothing.
Go to bed. You look tired.
What the h
- Hey!
- You started it! Let go of me!
- Come on, let go of him!
- Let go of me!
Let go of me!
- Let go!
- No!
Get out! What the hell are you doing?
- You can forget that fucking deposit!
- Fucking cunt!
It's one o'clock.
Calm down, it's been 15 seconds.
You're always in such a hurry.
I need an AB grade, or I'll die.
If you were to get a BA, which you won't,
it's not the end of the world.
You can still get a job
in a depopulated area.
You're an evil woman.
AB?
Is it AB?
Come on.
Why isn't it working?
EXAM RESULTS
Yeah! Yes!
JURISPRUDENCE
GRADE: B
- Where are you going?
- Simon?
- What did you get?
- A job in a depopulated area.
Self-pity.
Immature infatuation.
Put all memories in a box,
lock it, and throw away the key.
Forget I ever met Max.
I was repulsive.
We needed the keys
to Ludvig's parents' house in Malm.
His dad owns
Rehnskild Capital Management.
The fund administers one billion.
Taxable income last year was 23 million.
Who the fuck cares?
You fucked Ludvig for a set of keys?
Why didn't you just ask me?
Would you have said yes?
You're starting to take too many risks.
You're careless, impulsive, and violent.
It's not your decision.
You're not coming, so stay out of it.
If I get dragged into this shit,
then it is my decision.
But you like champagne
and beef tenderloin.
We've given you all the means
to live well.
That's not a goal in itself, not for us.
It's best to park here and enter here.
We'll have time before the camera sees us.
- You were there at lunch?
- It's empty. No one's there.
We can just enter.
No.
I'm too old to go to prison.
There's at least one Porsche.
Probably more cars.
This is bigger than the watches.
You're in,
if you want.
I'm done being on the sidelines.
Here.
Stay close to Max.
If you start to panic, just breathe.
Don't turn on any lights.
Keep your mouth shut.
- For fuck's sake, Max.
- We're leaving a message.
What the fuck
We need to go now.
Get the fuck up.
We don't leave any traces.
But what if she dies?
Then she dies.
YOU'VE GOT THE WALLS
WE'VE GOT THE ROPES
SINCERELY, VICTOR SERGE CAPITAL MANAGEMENShit.
Turn off the engine.
- Is the tail light broken?
- Can I see your license?
It's at home. I took the wrong jacket.
I'm on my way home from work.
Do you have something
that can identify you?
No. I didn't think I'd get pulled over.
Name and personal identity number, please.
To check your license, I need your name
and personal identity number.
Minna Haddad, 010316-4423.
If you're going to fine me, do it now.
I've worked 12 hours.
I need to go home and sleep.
Step out of the car.
Which section is this?
Don't touch me!
Do you have a search warrant?
No, Robin. No.
What are your names?
I want to report this.
That attitude won't get you far.
Open the back door.
Let go and I'll open it.
Drive!
Drive!
Did you write this
before or after you shot the housekeeper?
It was an accident.
I hope so, or you have serious problems.
Give me the gun.
Robin!
What do you want me to say? I'm an idiot.
I'm sorry.
No!
You're out of your fucking mind!
You're dead!
Stop it. Don't touch me.
We got 550,000 for the cars.
We'll take 400,000.
You get 150,000.
My contact will take 20% for laundering
and depositing the money in your account.
So this is how it ends?
You're buying your way out.
Damn.
You need to go home.
You were with some fellow students,
watching a movie, and it got late.
When Ludvig tells you, you act shocked.
- We need to call the police.
- No.
You need to go home and put the keys back.
- Max, listen to me.
- Shut up.
She's not breathing.
She's breathing now.
She's breathing, but
She's unresponsive, but she's breathing.
You're threatening me?
He's got to go.
Pack your stuff. We're leaving in an hour.
Forget us. We've never met.
Lie low.
As long as there's no link to any of us,
you'll be fine.
You can't fucking leave me!
You can't drag me into this and leave me!
No one dragged you into this.
You chose it.
I can tell them who you are.
You don't know who we are.
You don't know our names.
You don't know anything.
Get a move on.
And ditch him!
- I told you not to fall in love!
- Shut up!
Wait for me.
I'll be in touch.
I don't even know your name.
Yes, hello?
I'll get a taxi.
Victor?
One minute.
My parents have been burglarized.
Joyce has been shot.
- Who's Joyce?
- The housekeeper.
I have to go.
- Is she alive?
- I don't know. She's in the ICU.
- Have you seen my keys?
- No.
That's my taxi.
It's cold outside.
What?
Take your coat.
Do you know how loaded
your friend's dad is?
How can you own a fund?
It's like owning a planet.
We're not friends. I just live there.
It seems to have been
some sort of Red Army Faction group.
Did they take anything besides the cars?
How the hell should I know?
Look, you can buy tote bags saying,
"You've got the walls.
We've got the ropes."
That's in bad taste.
Yeah, but a bit clever.
Will you get mad if I buy one?
The number is not in use.
Check the number
or contact directory assistance.
How's Joyce?
That was her name, right?
She's still anesthetized.
They'll try to wake her in a few days.
Hopefully her children
will be here by then.
Dad booked
the earliest tickets he could find.
Will she remember anything,
from the burglary?
No idea.
- What did the police say?
- Nothing, just that they were terrorists.
Do you know who Victor Serge is?
Apparently, he's some old communist.
Not that you're a communist,
but you read a lot.
He wasn't a communist.
He was an anarchist.
He believed in rebellion,
striking those he felt
didn't deserve what they had.
Joyce has been with us for five years.
She sends all her money back home
so that her grandchildren
can go to a private school in Santiago.
In what way
hasn't she deserved what she has?
Thirst burns in our throats
Our tongues hang dry, stiff and rigid
But soon there will be big, long gulps
And everyone will get their fair share
Behind!
Come on, pick up the pace.
Come on, let's go.
The second praises life like a cloud
The third is felt from head to
- Is this the vegan option?
- Yes.
Cheers!
Everyone gets laid at Lund's Nation!
Ow! What the hell?
Ludvig was right.
Joyce didn't own any walls or balconies.
Nothing justified what we had done.
Where are they?
I have no idea.
They're completely wild.
They do as they please.
You said I wasn't the first.
What did you mean by that?
I don't remember.
I guess you awakened my paternal instinct.
Stop, for fuck's sake!
I need to find them! Where are they?
This is all I know.
You could've fit in here.
If everything had been different.
Don't come here again.
ROOM 1324
Excuse me.
I'm looking for Henrik Jonsson.
Yeah
He lived here last semester,
but he never returned after the summer.
I didn't even know who he was
until everyone started talking about
him being missing.
Missing?
Excuse me!
Strange question, but
Do you know Charles?
People thought Henrik was weird,
but that's because they didn't know him.
He met a girl last winter.
He was going to move in with her,
but then it ended.
He was devastated. And
This part is a bit weird, I know.
Before Henrik went missing, he said that
if anyone who knew Charles
came looking for him,
I should give them this library receipt.

Excuse me, what are you doing?
The pages were stuck.
I'm just trying to read.
You have to report that to us.
You'll ruin the book.
No, I I won't ruin it.
I'll be careful.

Charles?
The doctrine of assumption
is a principle for contract interpretation
which considers
how the contract was written

knew of the events that had occurred.

Simon.
We're going to a nation,
and you're coming.
Music quiz at Helsingkrona.
Attendance is mandatory.
Is that only activity

Passivity is an exception,
and exceptions
should be applied extensively.
Hello?
Max?
Where are you? Say something.
I've left them.
Where are you going?
I need your help.
You're all I've got now.
I've booked a room
at the hotel Stiller in Stockholm,
under the name Bonnot.
Everything's paid for.
Meet me there tomorrow night.
Being illegal demands everything of you.
It demands doing the right thing,
living as you learn.
Otherwise, you're just a thief.
A murderer.
A predator.
Max.
Dinah.
Gustaf.
Robin.
To me, those are still your names.
I was your useful idiot.
But you underestimated me.
You think I don't know who you are.
But it's you who don't know who I am.
IF I SAID NO, IT WOULD ALL END
This is my life insurance.
JOYCE WAS SHOT,

WE ARE THE BANDITS
Damn idiot.
You're fucking insane.
What are you doing here?
I'm on my way to Stockholm.
I'm going on a study visit
to the parliament.
I had some time to spare.
How's Mom?
Same as always.
And Dad?
How should I know?
I think he's applied for a job, but
Have you started doing drugs?
You look like a junkie.
- No.
- So what's the matter?
Do you remember in high school?
- When I struggled with Joyce and Faulkner?
- No.
I tried to like them.
Are you sure you should go
anywhere else than the psych ward?
If anything should happen,
I want you to have those books.
- They're in my room.
- Seriously, what's going on?
- Just say yes.
- Yes, as you wish, fucking freak.
Promise you won't forget.
Joyce and Faulkner?
You're my bro, bro.
Yes.
I'm just tired.
Don't tell Mom I was here.
No.
Excuse me.
Is this a hotel?
You're not the first to ask that.
Do you have a reservation?
I think so. Bonnot.
One moment.
Room 12. Lovely.
This way.
No luggage?
No.
This evening, we're serving veal tartare
and cod with horseradish.
Please.
Your secretary said
that it was important you had a balcony.
- Yes.
- Just let me know if you need anything.
We make a revolutionary Negroni.

Please, don't talk.
I read the obituary.
Charles would've hated it.
I'm sorry.
What the hell?
What?
Take his phone.
What the hell is this?
That's none of your business.
Will you stay calm
or do I need to tie you up?
- Tie him up.
- He'll stay calm.
- Tell me what you're going to do.
- We're going to kill you.
Cut it out.
We're taking what we need
and sending a message.
- That's why we're here.
- You want this?
After we leave the hotel,
you'll never see us again.
Not a second longer.
Stay here.
I need the code.
WE'VE GOT THE ROPES AND THE DAGGERS
Hello?
Gustaf.
Gustaf.
Help us, you fucking psycho!
We have to get him out of here now.
Fuck!
Drive!
He needs to go to the hospital.
He's bleeding out.
I know.
Get out.
Hurry up!
Leave him outside. Don't go in.
Promise me.
Don't worry. See you later.
Stop. Stop, damn it.
My phone.
Your name isn't Max, it's Lea.
Valverde.
I know your names.
I have your personal identity numbers.
If anything happens to me, you'll go down.
I'm done with you now.
Henrik Jonsson.
That was his name, right?
The poor bastard you used
until he couldn't take it anymore.
Then you found me.
It wasn't like that.
There was more to it.
Fuck.
You have something to write about.
Live your words.
Do what you say.
Action and opinion
should be one and the same.
Anything else leads to a dishonest life.
