THREE SICK BROTHERS

[music intensifies]

[jackhammer drilling in distance]

[woman] I was here on Monday.

I filled up your fridge.

So you're sure?

You can stay with me. There's room.

[Erik] Mm.

[mother] You know what to take when?

[Erik] Yes.

[mother] I have to go to work.

But I'll be back around 5:00.

By the way, I'm selling the cabin.

So, you'll stay here?

Take it easy?

That's what they told you.

That you needed to rest.

- [Erik] Yeah.

- Okay.

Mom?

Thank you.

OUR CABIN

[doorbell buzzes]

[dog barking]

[doorbell continues buzzing]

- Little brother.

- f*cking hell.

It's about time.

- It's been so long.

- Oh. Bro-sandwich. [moaning]

Otto. Behave.

Good to see you.

Three years in the loony bin. Look at you!

- It's called a psychiatric ward.

- Whatever. Come on in.

[door closes]

Well? What do you think?

How about we go out instead?

Grab a few beers.

How about a pint of pilsner?

[rapping in English] Open the box ♪

Otto! Indoor voice.

[in falsetto] Open the box

And let the monkey out ♪

The doctors told me

to avoid all situations that may trigger

the brain's stress center.

[snoring]

[Georg chuckles]

A loud noise can be enough.

Or a sudden movement or

[Georg] Otto, do you hear that?

Under no circumstances, must we [yells]

[laughs]

I mean it. I need quiet.

[in Norwegian]

But you can handle one beer.

A tiny beer. A teeny-weeny beer.

Or how about we go up to the cabin?

One last trip to Daddy's liquor cabinet,

before the cabin gets sold?

Just the three of us. The brothers.

Like I said, I need quiet.

Erik, my favorite little brother.

What do you say?

Thumbs-up for a trip to our cabin.

- Thumbs-up.

- [Otto] Thumbs-up.

Thumbs-up!

- [Georg] Thumbs-up.

- Yes!

Whoo!

- [Georg] No, we can allow some fighting.

- Oh, yeah?

- Kids, behave.

Hey, Erik?

While in the madhouse

- did you meet any women?

- [Erik] What do you mean?

This trip would be been more fun

if both sexes were represented.

- That's what our dim-witted brother means.

- [Otto] What does "dim-witted" mean?

- Wasn't the deal to have a quiet trip?

- You haven't seen a broad in three years.

- Georg?

- Hm?

- Punch him.

- No! Ouch!

[George and Otto laughing]

[George and Otto grunting]

[thud]

Whoa. [chuckles]

Hey.

some foxy babes in there

No foxy babes.

- [Erik] Yeah.

[Otto in English]

I'm in the moodle for a doodle!

Hey, remember to buy some doodles.

[Erik] I will. Now, go.

Party tonight?

No. Uh, we My brothers and I

are just going to our cabin.

Oh. Sounds nice.

[chuckles]

Yeah.

[Georg and Otto snickering]

[Otto] Hmm.

What are you up to?

[in English] Surprise!

[Georg and Otto laugh]

- Who are you?

- [in Norwegian] Monika.

And you're the little brother?

She was hitchhiking, and we're like, "Hi,"

and she's like, "Hey!"

And we're like, "Cabin party?"

And she's like, "Of course!"

[Monika laughs]

Relax, it's just for fun.

- Yeah, but if it's not okay

- No, no. It'll be fun.

Fun.

[rock music playing]

at the Arctic University of Norway.

Okay. So, just to recap:

You study psychology,

you're single, and you love to party?

That's an incredibly precise recap.

[Otto screams]

Stop it, Otto.

Yeah, but listen! She's single!

- And she loves to party!

- Yeah, yeah. I heard.

- Isn't that great?

- It's awesome.

[Otto]

I love chicks from up north. [moans]

[rock music playing on stereo]

[birds chirping]

[Otto in English]

I'm in the moodle for a doodle!

[Monika laughs] Did you just make that up?

[Otto] I'm in the moodle for a doodle

Ooh, ooh, yeah ♪

What's wrong?

It's just so weird.

I haven't been here in years.

- None of us have.

- Why not? It's a really nice place.

We came all the time when we were kids.

While Dad was still alive.

[Georg] Ta-da.

[all chuckle]

[Monika] Thanks.

To Ronny Hagfors.

Deeply missed and all that.

f*cking cheers.

Cheers

to the f*ck.

[Monika] Okay, so, I don't have

a master's in psychology yet,

but did you have a difficult relationship

with your dad?

[in Norwegian] Hey! Look what I found.

- [Georg] Oh.

- [Monika] What's that?

This is Dad's old sharpener.

It was always the first thing

we had to do here.

"Did you forget

to sharpen the knife, boy?"

- "A dull knife won't k*ll anybody."

- [laughs]

How about that?

Well, cheers.

[Monika laughs]

- Is that true? Erik?

- [Georg] It's totally true.

I got the good grades,

Otto was the athlete,

but Erik, he conquered the girls.

[Otto and Monika laugh]

"Erik the Lover Boy," we used to call him.

[in Norwegian] What did you say?

- No, I just

- Huh? What did you say?

- She didn't say anything.

- If you're implying that I'm the lunatic,

you're dead wrong.

Isn't that right, Erik?

What is he saying?

Uh

I was institutionalized for three years.

In a psychiatric ward.

They don't let you out until you're sane.

I have to

Where's the bathroom?

[Georg] Out in the hall and to the right.

Okay, what just happened?

It got a little tense.

Because some idiot said

that Erik had been institutionalized.

And that was me?

She'll probably ask

if we can drive her back.

[Georg] Erik, that's not happening.

Ladies' man,

we'll get out of your hair now.

And then you can pull out your old tricks.

[in English] Just go and get her.

[playing foreboding notes]

- [Erik] Otto was just joking

- [Monika] It's okay. I'm not scared.

- [Erik plays discordant notes]

- Boo!

[chuckles]

[Monika] You know

soon I'll be a trained psychologist,

so, I feel I'm well above average

at reading people

and picking up vibes

and the mood of a room.

After all, it's part of my education.

[chuckles] So, um

if I had felt

the tiniest bit unsafe here

I would have gotten out of here by now.

Why don't you tell me

a little bit about your father?

[Otto sharpening knife]

[Erik] That's Dad.

One hell of a b*stard.

How did he die?

Do you want another drink?

Sure.

Erik? Hello?

Erik?

Hello? It's Mom.

Erik?

[sighs]

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

- Thank you.

- Cheers.

Yes.

Hey. I just have to ask.

The psychiatric ward

Mm?

[Monika] Did that have anything to do

with your father dying?

[in Norwegian] Many felt that

Ronny Hagfors didn't deserve to live,

but only Erik dared do something about it.

I'm proud of you, brother.

So, you

You k*lled your father?

No. I don't believe you.

- You're not the type at all.

- [Georg] What?

Erik has spent three years

in the loony bin.

Psychiatric ward.

[Georg] But since you're such an expert

why would he confess to a m*rder

he didn't commit?

- Georg.

- No, no. If Erik didn't k*ll our father,

then who did?

[eerie music playing]

I just remembered

I have an appointment in town.

Could you take me down

to the main road, Erik?

Leaving already?

But the party's just started.

The party is over.

Boo. [laughs]

Hey, hey, hey.

If the party is over,

then this must be the after-party.

[Georg] Hmm.

[Erik] Hey!

Georg! What? Georg!

- Erik!

- Otto, you can't

[Monika] Erik!

Erik!

[cell phone ringing]

MOM

[Monika crying]

[Otto] Is someone calling?

- It's Mom.

- Little, pleasant, dumb Mom.

Give me that!

[cell phone continues ringing]

[grunting]

- You have to stop!

- That would be the decent thing to do.

[panting]

[chuckles]

[sobs]

[Georg] If Erik confessed to k*lling

our father to cover for someone else

who could that have been?

[Georg chuckles]

[alarm beeps]

[mother] Excuse me?

Hi. I'm looking for my son.

Have you seen him?

- Yeah, he was here a couple of hours ago.

- Did you talk to him? How did he seem?

Well, he bought a lot of snacks.

[mother] Mm-hm.

He was going to his cabin

with his brothers.

- Is something wrong?

- No.

[Otto] There.

Now we just have to get the knife.

- "Did you forget to sharpen the knife?"

- [Otto laughs]

- Hey, look who's up and about.

- [Otto] Well, well!

[Erik] We can't do this.

- We have to let her go.

- [Otto] No, no.

Then she'll report us. Don't you get it?

[grunting]

She won't do that.

She won't. Right? You won't, will you?

Give me the knife.

I'll take the knife

and then we'll let her go.

You're forgetting one thing.

You don't call the shots here.

- I do.

- Georg.

[Georg] Hey, stop it.

I always call the shots.

Give me the knife.

[Otto chortles]

[in English] Oh, oh, oh, open the box

And let the monkey out ♪

You see? He doesn't run this show. I do.

- [in Norwegian] And Otto.

- Otto! Otto! [laughs]

[sobbing]

[Georg] Are you all right, bro?

I'm sorry,

but this has gone a bit too far.

It went too far, and that's our fault.

- Especially Otto's.

- [Otto] No.

[chuckles] Okay, fine.

And we have to end this, somehow.

[Monika sobbing]

And now there's

only one possibility left

[grunting]

[Otto] Seriously?

We're We're going to do it?

[laughs] Yes!

- [Erik] Are you listening?

- Hey!

[Georg] Come on.

Otto, hurry up.

- But where should I stab?

- On the left.

- The heart is on the left.

- [Otto] Here?

Her left!

[moaning]

- [Otto] Here?

- [Georg] Yes. Stab her.

[yells]

[in English] f*ck!

[Georg] Once more.

Come on, Otto. Once more. Do it properly.

[Otto grunting]

[Otto grunting]

[Otto panting]

Erik?

Erik?

Erik? What have you done?

It was Otto and Georg.

No, Erik. Not Otto and Georg. Not again.

They don't exist.

Erik?

- No, no. They k*lled her.

- What?

- They k*lled Monika. Monika is dead.

- What?

[mother] Monika?

They k*lled her.

Just like they k*lled Dad.

Dad?

Your father is not dead.

Erik?

Nobody k*lled your dad.

He just left us. Don't you remember?

[doorbell buzzing]

[doorbell continues buzzing]

[nightmarish music playing]

[melancholy music playing]

- [mother] Are you staying in the car?

- [Erik] Yes.

[Georg whispering] Erik?

Thumbs-up.

[chuckles] No.
