I'd like to propose a toast!
Here's to four more years!
How about that?
Four more years!
But there's one person I have to...
... thank, and that's the woman standing there.
The most intelligent, beautiful woman in the world.
And we've been a team, you and I.
Please help me give Eva a big hand!
DON'T CALL ME MAMA
Alright Petter, what do you think?
Petter.
What do you think?
- About the book? - Uh, yeah.
I guess I think it's... It's about childhood.
- Childhood? - Yes. And about the...
... mother. That he probably never felt seen or acknowledged.
It's about his dad, not his mom.
Exactly, isn't his relationship to his father the essential one?
- Did I say his mother? - Yes, you did.
You got that I meant the dad, right? Everyone got that.
Everyone who read the book got that.
Imagine if you'd actually read the book, Petter.
Then we'd have something to discuss. How thrilling!
I think all your classes are thrilling, miss.
Alright, that's it for today.
- What are you doing now? - Getting lunch.
Alright, let's go on a little cafeteria date.
Oooh, a date?
- How about it? - Sure!
On your feet!
- We should get paid for this. - You're so fucking lazy.
It's called volunteering, ever heard of it?
Put them in a straight line.
Petter, Kari, stop flirting!
You can do this faster. Get a move on!
Good. Put those over there.
- Hi. - Hi.
Hello. Can you hear me?
The Labor Party.
Hey. Aren't you supposed to help setting up?
Are you okay?
Maybe a bit of exposure therapy will do you some good.
Fucking hell.
Should we kill her?
- I wouldn't mind. - Come on, then.
- I've got a saw in my purse. - Would you do that for me?
There's a lot of asylum seekers coming.
All talented and highly educated, who can be a valuable addition to our community.
I urge everyone to have a positive mindset.
Everyone can do their part to help them integrate and feel welcome.
Look at it this way: Do you have a couple of hours to spare?
Could you take an asylum seeker bowling, or fishing,
or maybe cook a meal for one of the families with children.
Stop by our volunteer meetup
this Wednesday at the refugee center. I hope to see all of you there.
We can do this.
Thank you, Irene...
Tell you what: If the Conservatives were in power,
at least IMDI would know what the locals think about this.
Fortunately, this is not a hustings...
What about those of us who've worked here forever?
Including myself and many of my friends.
Suddenly we're not a priority.
All I can tell you is that this is happening.
And all we can do, is make the best of the situation.
We need to come together and do whatever we can to help.
- Who are the anonymous donations? - The ones who didn't give much.
But seriously, what kind of course has Irene taken?
- She's good. - "How to manipulate for the greater good".
You can skip it. You've got the crowdfunder to think about.
You can just blame me.
I don't know what saucy course you've taken...
But it's pretty nice.
I can't.
I just can't.
Everyone stares.
Everyone knows.
Yes. I can feel it. I can see it.
- It just feels that way. - No, I can see it.
Hey.
I don't know what's going on, but I can tell you're struggling.
I'm so incredibly sorry.
For what I did.
- Hi, Eva! It's so good to see you. Welcome. - How are you?
- This is Kennedy. - Hi! Eva.
Nice to meet you.
Eva is a teacher at the high school.
- This made my day. - You're so sweet.
Hi!
Uh, this is Eva. Yes.
She's... She's married to the mayor.
Yes. And the mayor is... It's true!
The mayor is my husband's best friend.
- I'm going to be Samuel's visiting friend. - That's nice.
He's very sweet.
So I'm thinking about taking you to the movies someday and watch a nice film.
- Do you have anything to recommend? - There's a lot of nice...
I'll take that.
I'm gonna bring this to the kitchen.
Turn it down!
Do you like to dance?
Samuel is a very nice name.
Can I bum a cigarette?
- Huh? - Do you have an extra cigarette?
- A spare one? - Huh?
Cigarette! Do you have more?
I'm joking.
Thank you.
Cardamom Town. That's a good one.
Five year old Maira recommended it.
- Where are you from? - Syria.
- But you speak Danish? - Just a bit.
I see.
Did you live in Denmark?
I thought I was going to Denmark, so I learned from YouTube.
Youtube! That's impressive.
- Norwegian, Danish? Like this? - Yes.
Quite similar.
But...
- "Tram conductor." - Tram conductor, yes.
I guess it's not the most elegant of languages.
But I love it.
You do?
It's simple.
- Easy? - You say what's written down.
It's honest.
Maybe you're right.
"Deary me, oh deary me, I'm so angry I might burst!"
It's a song.
Oh deary me, oh deary me, I'm angry as can be!
Everything is just a mess in Cardamom City!
- Have you met someone? - What?
- I can tell! - You can't just ask about that!
Of course I can. I'm your mother.
I can ask about whatever I want.
Besides, I can tell by looking at you.
Are you going to drag some British guy home with you?
"Oh, yes, hello. My name is..."
One second, Maria, let me just rinse off.
Do you like the people you live with?
- Yeah, they're great. - That's good.
How's everything at home? With you?
Fine.
We've had an influx of Syrians.
They're stretched thin at the refugee center, so I might...
I might help out there a bit.
Maybe.
Just don't let them eat you alive.
Not the refugees, but you know...
- I understood that. - Just don't let them...
Talk you into doing too much... You know?
I won't.
I only do as much as I want to.
I'm Amir, 18 years old, from Syria.
Hi, Amir. Pleased to meet you.
And what's your name?
My name is Faven. I'm 19 years old, from Eritrea.
Hello, Faven. Pleased to meet you.
Nice to meet you. And what's your name?
Osama.
Hello. Nice to meet you.
Pleased to meet you.
I thought we'd start with a text about ourselves.
For instance:
My name is... And maybe then...
What your dream is. "I dream about..."
And you can write something about... Yes, Amir?
- I can... translate? - Sure.
- If you want. - Yes, please.
Is it okay? Thank you. That was a good idea.
If anyone needs help, just let me know.
Why are you so tired?
I took MDMA yesterday.
What did you just say?
I took MDMA yesterday.
Why did you do that?
Okay, this is crazy.
- But you know... - What happened?
You know Sigurd. He did this all the time when we lived in Oslo.
And he'd come across some over the weekend, and it was...
There's not that much to do here on the weekend.
So we decided to do it as some kind of couples activity.
Jesus Christ.
You can't do that. What if people find out?
- No one's going to find out. - You don't know that.
But listen... Having sex on MDMA is the wildest thing I've experienced.
It was something else, to put it mildly.
It was like being inside my body, and outside it at the same time.
Now you really do sound insane.
It felt like he was touching my body before he actually did.
It was so intense.
- I'm going to the sauna. You coming? - Take these. I'll do a couple more laps.
Stick to this side, alright? People are swimming.
- Is it that bad? - They only write because they have to.
It's not about anything at all.
- The refugees? - No, the kids.
Do you want to try taking MDMA?
Apparently sex is completely wild with it. Or on it.
People feel more connected, somehow. It's supposed to be amazing.
So you want the two of us to go down to the corner and buy some MDMA?
- Like the drug? - Yeah. It's pretty common.
- For common, boring people. - We're not common, boring people.
Are you saying you could never... buy it?
Or that you'd never even try it?
Well, if you want to, you know, spice things up...
No. Forget it.
We're fine. Let's keep going exactly as we are.
- Now you're upset. - I'm not. I'm fine.
We're good. It's all good.
- Hey, come here for a second. - I'm going to take a bath.
Hi, Amir?
What are you doing here?
I wanted to give you my homework.
But we've got class on Tuesday.
Tuesday is a long time from now.
- Okay. - I was just excited.
For you to read it.
Thanks! I look forward to it.
Thank you.
You can borrow a book if you want.
- Really? - Of course.
- What do you want to read? - Love.
So you're ready to move on from Cardamom Town?
I think I'm ready for the next step.
Okay. Let's see.
This one. This is the most famous Norwegian love story.
Victoria. Hamsun.
It might be a bit advanced for you, but...
You can try. And it's fine if you don't like it.
- Do you like it? - Yes. I like it.
Then I like it too.
You can have it for two weeks. I can get you a library card, so you can keep...
Okay...
- Thank you. - My pleasure. I'll take care of it.
- Hi! - Hey. This is Amir.
- Ingeborg. - He's from the center.
Ingeborg is my best friend. And colleague.
- He wanted to borrow a book. - Oh right.
That's a cool choice.
- So I'll see you on Tuesday. - Yeah.
The exit is just over that way.
- Nice to meet you. - You too.
Now I see why you're volunteering.
Come on - that's one amazing bod. That's indisputable.
My heart breaks into a thousand pieces
While I wait for my new life, which might bring joy,
Or to be sent back to my home country
My heart is displaced with discomfort and fear
That go their separate ways
In a room filled with darkness shines no light
Or is it just my mind that is blind
What does it take to spark hope
I've only had a glimpse of better days
But I keep fighting
Who said roses could not grow from concrete
My dream is to be... rich man?
I come from Syria.
That's great. Thank you. That was great.
Faven, do you want to...
Do you want to read for us?
- Hi. - Hello, Eva.
- How was class? - It was fine.
I was hoping to talk to Amir.
He just got some bad news. He can't stay here.
- They're not sending him back? - No. Northern Norway.
We've got lots of families coming, so the young men have to move on.
- Isn't there anything you can do?
- It's out of my hands. - Can I do anything to help?
- Keep teaching the ones who are here. - I mean for Amir.
He's a real talent.
He wrote a text which is completely unlike any other student I've had.
It's not up to me. Amir is a tough kid.
- He's going to be fine. - Are you sure there's nothing...
I'm positive.
I have to go. I have a meeting.
We were warned about the influx.
And we all agreed to make compromises for a while.
- So isn't one less person a good thing? - You really can't say that.
These people need the care and guidance of professionals, not just a bed.
But the fact that I'm doing something,
that I've got a group who help each other excel, that promotes integration.
And surely that equals saving money.
You are integrating them, and lots of your students appreciate you.
We're talking about a real talent here.
Someone who raises the ambitions of the whole group.
So you'd rather get rid of a less gifted refugee?
- Is that it? - No, that's not what I'm saying.
Eva, listen. I get that it's more fun to work with a motivated student.
But that can't be our strategy.
- And I can't get involved. - Why not?
- Not in individual cases. - Why not?
Because I'm the mayor! That's why.
- Are a lot of people going? - No, just a small group.
But Agnes is going?
Yes, Agnes is going.
It's not that strange. We work for the same party. We...
Of course we have to travel together.
Especially now with the election coming up.
- What do you want me to do? - Stop lying. That's what I want.
- I'm not lying. - Well I have to know.
If you're staying at the same hotel, then I have to know!
I have to know the most! More than anyone!
You have to tell me this stuff!
Eva, if you keep this up, you're going to go crazy...
How can I know you won't just keep doing it when the opportunity arises?
How can I know that?
I love you.
You just have to learn to trust me again...
I didn't get us into this mess.
Alright, I'm not having this conversation.
I've got a taxi waiting.
Hi.
How are you doing?
I don't know.
- I'm sorry I missed class. - Don't worry about that.
Irene told me what...
I've been looking into what can be done.
What do you mean?
- And Jostein is okay with this? - It was actually his idea.
Like he always says, we do whatever we can to help.
As long as it's possible, that is.
- I can stay? - Yes.
- That's very generous. - It's nothing.
It's the least we can do. Maria's room is empty anyway.
- You can stay as long as you want. - With you?
- Yes. - I'm at a loss for words.
- There's probably some forms... - Of course, there's paperwork.
Will you keep teaching the class, after Amir moves in?
- Yes, of course. - That's good. Thank you.
- Is this my room? - Yup. That's the plan.
- Is that OK? - Yes!
Comfy bed!
Norwegian class.
That's my daughter's old... I can take that.
- Nope! - No way! I'll take that.
- Come on. Give it to me. - You can't have it!
Yes, I can! Give it to me.
Here.
Have you thought about your writing?
Do you want to do something with it?
- What do you mean? - Go to college, perhaps.
I can't enroll anywhere without a permanent residency.
- Could they deny you that? - Of course.
But... I'm sure I'll get it.
It's going to work out.
DIPLOMA IN CREATIVE WRITING FOR NON-NATIVE SPEAKERS
AMIR AYOUB ACCEPTED YOUR FRIEND REQUEST
"Rats refuse ice cream with sprinkles made from Propavan, Theralen and Atarax."
"Hundreds of rats are staring at her as she retreats"
"into the deepest recesses beneath Maria Square."
"A rat is a rat... is a rat?"
That makes no sense.
Fine.
Kari, can you read from the top of the chapter again?
Sure.
"Tick, tock. It begins."
"Maybe it's the drip of the clock that prevents you from falling."
"The hand of an old clock rises and falls incessantly."
"Incessantly. Incessantly."
"It's four summers until the hot-as-hell summer when the clock is taken down..."
What are you doing next weekend?
You're going to Copenhagen as well?
Smart move. You know you love to party.
- Eva. - Who were you talking to?
Just a friend.
A Danish friend?
One who actually made it to Denmark.
From Syria?
Yes.
Why don't you speak Syrian with each other?
Why Danish?
Why don't you just speak... Syrian? Syric?
- It's Arabic. - Arabic. Yeah.
- Hello! - Oh, hi! Jostein.
This is Amir.
- Hi. - Hi.
He's going to live here.
Can I have a word?
Eva, what are you doing? Huh?
You brought a stranger into our home!
I thought we all had to make an effort here.
Oh, please. You're being completely...
What? What am I being?
What am I being? Tell me. Just say it!
- You're being fucking childish! - I can barely walk through town.
Because of you and your fucked-up actions.
- When are you... - This only makes you look good!
Think of it as electioneering.
- This is just some petty revenge. - Amir stays here as long as he wants.
I'm done talking about this. I'm going to the pool.
Does he not want me here?
Listen...
- Do you want to come to the pool? - I can't swim.
I can teach you.
Alright.
Are you good?
Can you feel yourself floating? You're floating!
Lean your head back.
You're alright. I've got you.
One more time. You can do it.
You're going to get it.
Stretch out your arms. That's it.
No, no, no!
Can you carry me?
Just push the water behind you.
I think that's enough for today.
M and E. "Name."
- "Heter". - Great!
Very good.
Good.
Really good.
- Bye. - Bye. Bye.
Bye.
NEW MESSAGE REQUEST
BASHIR ISMAIL I ENJOYED YESTERDAY
Thanks for helping me out.
- Do you want to come upstairs? - Sure!
We can cook together, if you'd like.
Some might call this boring food.
But I guess you're used to spicier...
- Hi! - Hi, Eva.
I've acquired a chef's assistant.
You have to tell me what to do.
This is my only secret.
This is smoked paprika. You might be familiar with it.
- I probably should be. - It's no big deal.
Can I do anything?
You know what?
I think the lady should have a glass of wine...
... take a seat, and be waited on.
- That's what I think. - Alright.
Take some photos for my Instagram.
I can't. Isn't that a bit too...
This was your idea, okay?
If you want, you can start setting the table.
The plates are over there.
Cutlery is over here.
Stand a bit closer.
She's taking a picture.
Say cheese.
- There. - Great.
Hi, Eva! Jostein...?
He had to go to work.
- Who's Bashir? - I don't know.
Bashir Ismail. Who is he?
You don't know.
He sent me a message.
It said, "I enjoyed yesterday."
I know it was you.
- It's not me. - Who else would say that?
If you've lied about your identity...
- I'll have to call the police. - No!
You're living with the mayor.
Who's telling everyone that we have to...
... welcome you into our lives.
I don't know who you are. Or where you're from.
- Or what you've done. - Done?
I can't let you stay here if I don't know who you are.
Eva...
You know who I am.
You do!
You're right.
Bashir is my real name.
Amir is just something I call myself.
Because Bashir was denied asylum.
After seven years in Denmark.
My whole family was sent back to Syria.
I was Danish.
I felt Danish.
I went to school.
I had friends.
We lost everything.
I couldn't reapply for asylum.
It was over for Bashir.
But not for Amir.
I should've been honest with you from the start.
No one in Norway looks at me like you do.
I haven't been this happy or hopeful...
... since I left Denmark.
What's the deal with those two?
Didn't you hear they hooked up?
- For real? - Yeah, it's fucked up.
I know.
What happened was wrong.
It can't happen again.
Do you understand?
Hello?
You're miles away.
- It's nothing. - Come on!
Either you've got cancer, or you and Jostein have started taking MDMA.
No, that would never happen.
- So what is it. - Nothing.
It's nothing.
I miss you, mom. I wonder how you're doing.
My thoughts are interrupted by children crying at the refugee center.
I open my eyes and return to reality.
Can I endure this?
A flash of hope while I'm waiting to find out if I get to stay
or if I have to return to war and unrest.
Back to Al-Jazeera on the TV and the sound of the adhan from the mosque.
Back to mom, where at least I have faith in the idea.
The idea of making it out.
I'd rather risk drowning in a boat, hoping,
than stay in a country where death comes knocking,
and it's only a matter of time before you have to give in.
The things I've seen. I'm alive, but I'm dead on the outside.
Divided while constantly asking myself:
Will I be allowed to live before I die?
Do you have a bike I could borrow?
Why do you need one? I can give you a lift.
I just thought I could bike into town sometimes.
To loiter on the corner.
Yeah.
- It's a girly bike, though. - I'm going to try it.
You have to pedal!
Be careful!
Hi, this is Eva. I can't answer the phone right now.
But call me back or...
- Hi. - Hi.
- How are you? - Good.
- Shall we? - Sure.
What does it mean?
- Come on. Tell me what it means! - No. I can't. Nope!
- You can't read without explaining! - No!
Yes!!
- I didn't understand a word! - Nope, it's a secret.
Okay.
Do you love him?
Do you feel guilty?
What do you feel?
A thousand things.
But what do you feel the most?
I feel like I'm alive.
Shit!
Hello?
Eva?
Eva!
- Hello? - Hey!
- Hi! - Hi.
I thought you were coming tonight.
I got on an earlier flight. I missed you.
You look gorgeous.
Did you get a haircut or something? What's going on?
A haircut? What's wrong with you?
You're pretty sexy, you know.
Pull. Harder.
My God, that was good.
- What if they hate it? - Not possible. Trust me.
Are you sure?
Can I do it?
Ready...
Set...
- Go. Do it. - Wait.
APPLICATION SUBMITTED - Yes! You did it!
- We have to celebrate. - Yeah!
Get out of here.
I know a place that has insane griddles.
Griddles?
Eva? Eva!
Hi! I thought that was you!
Hi! Hello.
It's you!
This is Amir!
Hi. I'm Lise.
I think I remember seeing you.
- At the center. - That's very possible.
I'm married to one of Jostein's friends.
Yeah, I...
I've heard so many good things about you.
It's great that you can live with Eva and Jostein.
- Yes, they're amazing. - Agreed.
If everyone was like you, this world would be a wonderful place.
No, stop it. We have to get going.
- Should we get together soon? - Of course.
That would be lovely. Good to see you.
- Bye! - Goodbye.
The letter from Immigration! It's here!
From Immigration?
- Didn't you open it? - I'm afraid to!
- Come on! - Me?
- What does it say? - It's a yes...
- What? - It's a yes!
It's a yes!
- Yes! - Wow! Yes!
Yes!
They let me in!
Based on the information we have obtained... our decision...
... is that your application for permanent residency in Norway
has been approved.
Please note that our decision...
... is in accordance with current laws and regulations.
There's no one else in Norway who knows about your name?
- Or about Denmark? - No one.
Hello!
- Hi! - Have a glass.
- No, thanks. - Sit down and have a drink.
I'm going to head downstairs.
He's been granted permanent residency. We're celebrating.
Show a little enthusiasm!
I heard you ran into Lise. On the ferry.
What were you doing there?
The griddle cakes. You know the ones.
We went to eat griddles.
What's going on here, Eva?
What are you talking about?
Did something happen between you two?
Have you lost your mind?
What a fucking sick question.
You're pathetic.
- Is he seeing Agnes again? - Damned if I know.
I don't even think I would care.
Oh my God.
You've met someone. I knew it! I knew it!
You met someone! It's all over your face! Come on!
You've met someone.
You have to tell me.
- Who is it? - I can't tell you.
- Who is it? - It's...
It's a guy I went to school with. You don't know him.
- Does he live here? - No, no.
He lives in Bergen.
But you can tell me who it is.
- Who is it? - No... He's married.
Alright.
I think you deserve it.
I'm serious.
And suddenly Jostein's the one who's worried.
It's crazy.
He loves you.
So you have to decide how much you're willing to risk.
Hey.
I'm sorry about earlier.
- Shouldn't we wait for Amir? - He'll get here when he gets here.
We might as well start. It's just finger food anyway.
This is hardly "just" finger food.
But with Amir, it's like you have a teenager under your roof again.
They're not his parents. They don't have to pick him up at parties.
No. Officially, we've just rented out a room to the district.
For free. Yeah.
- It's not like we're his foster parents. - That's what you were asking, right?
Their daughter moves out, he moves in, it's like having a teenager again.
- We're taking tango lessons. - Are you?
- It's amazing, right? - Sure is. Who would've thought?
But we need help.
It's incredible. The instructor is Argentinian.
"Excuse, can you help us and show us this move?"
He came over and grabbed my back, and I just...
He grabbed your back, alright.
I felt like I had a spine. He twirled me around and my legs just followed along.
- I suddenly knew how to tango! - Good thing I'm not the jealous type.
- Hi! - Sorry I'm late.
- No worries. - I have to tell you something.
I've got an interview.
With the Creative Writing Academy? You're joking! That's amazing!
Interview? What...
He applied to the academy. They've got a course for non-native speakers.
- That's great! - Eva has helped me with the...
- Congrats! - Cheers to that!
- When's the interview? - Friday. In Bergen.
- I can give you a lift. - That's OK. A friend is taking me.
Oh? Who?
Someone from the gym.
Amir, don't you want to sit down and eat something?
I have to shower. I'm sweaty.
- He's a sweet boy. - Charming and polite.
He's very talented, according to Eva.
This wine goes down easy.
Straight to the noggin.
Are you awake?
I have to go. See you around.
What are you doing at the school? Why are you here?
I'm returning the books.
We live in the same house. You can give them to me there.
I just thought I'd stop by.
I see.
I would be careful, if I were you.
Kari can be quite ruthless when it comes to boys.
What do you mean?
I'm just saying...
I'm not sure you can trust her with a secret.
Are you angry?
Eva.
Eva!
What the fuck are you doing? This is your "married" man?
I couldn't...
I couldn't tell...
What are you doing?
I'm in love.
But Eva...
You realize this is very wrong, right?
You don't know...
- You don't know what... - Don't you see?
You work at the refugee center!
The most important thing to him is being able to stay here!
What were you thinking?
What if he doesn't actually want to do this with you.
Did you ever think about that?
You can't say that.
Eva!
Hey.
Hi.
That was...
Jesus.
You haven't told anyone about us?
- No. - You can never.
Ever.
Eva.
I know. Just promise me...
Promise me you'll never tell anyone.
- I promise. - Good.
Hi.
What...
Have you started smoking indoors?
Yeah, I'm having a cigarette.
Alright. I'm going back to bed.
"Goodbye, eternal future. All that remains is to get wiser."
"She hasn't got much time to get wiser."
"But today, she doesn't know why."
"She's hoping, as the saying goes."
"The word "hope" stems from "to hop over" the danger."
"For instance something you dread."
"She's still hoping she'll soon be back in a place"
"where she can start over, newly restored."
"For even a rubber boot knows being afraid does not mean that something is dangerous."
Alright, that's it for today.
I can drive us.
Is everything alright, Petter?
Is everything alright?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Are you sure?
You know you can come see me if you ever need to talk.
Thanks.
- See you later. - Has she met someone else?
- What? - I'm sorry.
The interview went well.
Thanks for helping me.
Don't touch me.
- Did you tell her about us? - Of course not!
Are you seeing each other?
Eva, I care about you a lot.
- Just, not like that. - Like what? You've taken advantage.
- You used me. - I've used you?
You've used me! You could be my mama!
Eva. I didn't...
Get out of my car. I never want to see you again.
Get out of my car!
Hi, Eva. Could we have a chat after class?
- Of course. - I'll be in my office.
Amir came by yesterday, and was extremely distraught.
So I'm wondering what's happened.
What do you mean?
He told me he's had to move out?
That's correct.
- I thought it was going so well. - It was.
It was. It was going very well.
But I...
I just don't think we have the needed capacity...
... to take care of someone in his situation.
We were probably a bit naive to think that.
What makes you say that?
- Did he do something wrong? - No. Not at all.
It's just...
Like I said, it wasn't working.
I have to admit that...
... a very uncomfortable thought has crossed my mind.
So I think it's best if I just ask.
Okay?
Are you and Amir having an affair?
Excuse me? If we're having...?
- An aff... - Are you out of your mind?
That's sick!
This is a part of my job.
He's only eighteen. And he's my responsibility.
I hope you can appreciate that.
- I'm sorry. - It's alright.
- I had to ask. - I understand. It's just...
It's fine.
Alright.
We... We tried.
I hope you understand that I have to speak to Amir as well.
- Of course. - Okay, good.
Thank you.
- Hi! - Hey there. How's it going?
Good. I just...
I wanted to...
- Hi, Kari! - Hi.
- Is Amir here? - Uh, yeah.
I wanted to talk to him.
Amir lived with us for a while, you know, so...
I'll ask him.
Thanks.
- What's up? - You know.
Nothing much.
- Hi. - Hi.
Do you want to just...
- Thank you. - I'll be back.
Kari? No, are you insane?
Irene? Your friends?
- No one. - Are you completely sure?
Are you positive you haven't told anyone?
This is very, very important!
You have to tell me the truth!
Trust me! Trust me, Eva!
Relax.
Of course I haven't told anyone.
I'm sorry for the horrible things I said.
It's alright.
Eva... Eva.
I'm sorry.
- Where's Amir? - I kicked him out.
Eva?
Eva? Hey!
- I'm just going to... - What are you doing?
- I'm going to bed. - Sit down.
- I need to go to bed. - I said sit down.
I'm not sure what's going on here.
You're together all the time.
You're acting strange.
He's acting strange.
I need to know if something's going on with you and Amir.
You have to tell me the truth, because I can't take this anymore.
Do you understand?
This turned out all wrong. All of it.
I just did it to get back at you. To...
To punish you.
He's been lying.
His name isn't Amir.
He...
He's applied for residency using a fake name.
A fake identity.
How long have you known this?
Eva?
Look at me.
This is important.
How long have you known?
I'm the mayor.
And you're my wife.
Eva.
This isn't your fault.
We truly appreciate the work you do.
There are many desperate people here, and I imagine that can be...
But we need to have rules.
And we need to come down on dishonesty.
And Amir has...
He's lied about...
Where he's from.
His name.
People like Amir take spots from those who really need them.
I wasn't sure how to handle it.
Or what...
How to react.
Of course we want what's best for Amir.
And we realize that he's found himself in an impossible situation.
But the fact remains that...
If people can't...
... trust that those who come here are honest people...
The system is built on trust, and without trust, it collapses.
The Conservative Party is going to have a field day on this.
That's why we need to crack down hard on cheating.
And lies.
We simply can't tolerate it.
People will want their money back.
The crowdfund has reached...
... almost 450 000 kroner.
That's a lot... of money.
- Can I come in? - No.
Why, Eva?
- Why did you tell Irene? - I could ask you the same thing.
I haven't said anything! I swear!
You ruined my life.
I risked everything for you, and you've ruined my life.
You have to take it back, okay?
I'll do anything. Just say the word. Anything.
- You have to go. - Eva, please! I'll do anything.
I'll do anything! You have to! You have to!
Amir, stop. Don't touch her.
- Eva, go inside. - I'll lose everything! They'll kill me!
Come on. Let's go.
- Can you please just go inside! - Eva, don't do this to me!
- Eva, please! - Amir, that's enough. Enough.
- Go on. - They'll deport me!
They're sending me back to Syria! I'll lose everything!
Go away!
They'll kill me! Come on, Eva!
Hey!
Get out of here.
Amir!
Get a hold of yourself.
This happened yesterday?
It's going to be okay.
THE CREATIVE WRITING ACADEMY
CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING ACCEPTED INTO THE ACADEMY
Four more years!
There's a lot of work to do still.
The reason I love politics is being part of a team.
Everyone pulling in the same direction.
And then, we win. Yeah!
But there's one person I have to...
... thank, and that's the woman standing there.
The most intelligent, beautiful woman in the world.
And we've been a team, you and I.
So please help me give Eva a big hand!
