01x04 - The Ritual

[bunniefuu]

Hey.

Good morning.

Mikael will be home soon, so...
I guess you'd better leave.

Well, I could stay here
and help out a bit.

You'd better go home to Leo.
She's written a million texts.

Are you okay or what?

I'm fine.

No one must ever find out
about this. Do you understand?

I like that guy. Robin.

He's someone who has...
learned values,

such as honour and loyalty.

In the old-fashioned way.

Okay.

I think hanging out with him
a bit would do you good.

I offered him your job.

What are you talking about?

Well... I mean,
I offered him your job.

I pressed him.

Maybe I should give you
Peter's position.

Then you could hang out with Robin.

Collaborate with him.
Then you'll be his boss.

That's a very good idea, right?

Well, you do have...

I don't know,
you've got something, right?

I'm thinking if we push that
in the right direction

and place some good people
around you, then it might...

lead to something.

That's settled then.

Congratulations on the job!

-Thanks.
-That is so sweet.

How lovely.

Oh, shut up.

I mean it. It's lovely. It's lovely
seeing the two people

I love most in this world
getting along like a house on fire.

That makes a man happy.

BOYS

-Hi, Leo.
-Hi.

I tried finding out
Ingrid's new address,

but no one knows anything.

How about you?
Were you accepted into the lodge?

Not yet.
There'll be an initiation ritual,

but I don't quite know when.

I'm trying.

It seems to me
you're trying a bit slowly.

-What do you mean?
-You hang out together a lot,

but... it seems we're not getting
anywhere.

Is it because you think
they're great to hang out with,

-or are there great chicks...?
-Leonora.

You know I'm doing this for you,
right?

Get out of my way. Thanks.

I'm sorry. I mean, I...

I... well, I'm just getting
so f*cking frustrated

by this Ingrid situation and...

Well, I...

Now I'm even more sure
that Nikolaj is involved somehow.

I just need some time.

Then I'll be initiated
into that lodge.

And then I promise
I'll find out what happened.

-Okay.
-And if not...

I'll just grab some hockey sticks,

and then we'll beat the crap out
of them all.

I... No!

I only fight on the rink.

But that's very lucky for you...

Because I could clobber you
no problem,

if I didn't only fight on the rink!

Hello. Who is it?

Yes, I see it.

f*ck.

You ask: "Why should the son not
bear the iniquity of his father?"

"The son has acted correctly
and justly.

Meticulously, he has abided
by all of my laws."

"A son should not bear
the iniquity of his father.

Shouldn't he keep his life, when
he turns away from his actions?

Should I demand the death of the
righteous?" says the Lord.

We distance ourselves from
the iniquities of our fathers.

We challenge each other,

to become better people than them.

What's up, boys?
Was that the initiation test?

Okay.

Call this number.

Well, what... What's it for?

Order ten grams for the arch,
and it must be straight away.

Hello?

Hi, I need to order ten grams
delivered at the arch straight away.

Thank you.

It's done.

Ah, it's because I'm on probation.

So you guys want to see
if I trust you enough...

You clearly can't control
your temper.

That's your biggest challenge
of all.

Your challenge is...

letting them f*ck you up
without putting up a fight.

What are you talking about?

You just called two pushers
and ordered ten grams.

My guess is no one here thinks

you have a penny
you can pay them with, right?

As far as I know, that's something
that'll piss them off.

But what about you?

And how ready are you
to become part of this brotherhood?

I think it's time
for us to leave, boys.

Come on.

-What's up? Do you have our money?
-No.

What the hell's that supposed
to mean?

I thought I could owe you.

-Are you trying to be funny?
-No.

Hey, it's you. What's up?

-Is Nikolaj here too?
-No, it's just me. You're lucky.

-Lucky?
-Yeah.

It's the dudes
I told you about, Rolf.

Those f*cking q*eers singing
in some f*cking church choir.

No frigging way.

There he is.

What's up, Ralfie?

Look at me!

No more, man.

Take the coke. Take his sh*t.

What's this?

No. Not the necklace. No!

Let's get out of here.

Didn't you hear what I said?

I told you not to take my necklace.

What the f*ck is your problem?

f*ck...!

Robin!

Calm down.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Calm down, calm down, calm down.
It's just me.

I f*cked up... I hit them back.

What the f*ck are you laughing at?

Those two got exactly
what they deserved.

You did it, man.

You got back to your true self.

You've passed the test, Robin.

Welcome, brother.

Hey! Come.

We have a new member to celebrate.

-What's up, friend?
-What's up?

f*ck, you look crazy, man!

-Just out of curiosity, right...?
-Mm?

What did the others have to do
to become members?

-Feather! Come here.
-Yeah.

What's up?

Tell Robin about your challenge.

My challenge? Erm...

My challenge was
that I had to invite a girl out.

Was...

was that your challenge?

Yes. I mean, in front of everyone
in the whole bar.

Er, she said no.

Or she yelled no, so everyone
in the bar could hear it.

Yes. Er, it... it might be
very funny, but...

since primary school, I've had
an incredibly low self-esteem.

So I needed to be pushed
to that limit.

How do you feel?

I don't know.

Try to get a sense of it.

-I guess I'm a bit relieved.
-Mm.

That makes sense.

Well, you did blow off...
a lot of steam tonight.

You've been walking around
on a leash for too long.

You have a caseworker who...

forces all kinds of insane demands
on you.

It's f*cking bullshit, Robin.

Men who tell themselves
that they are better men

because they don't dare
to fight back...

It's a f*cking lie. They're lying.

I mean, just look at your dad.

The damage he caused because he
boozed instead of facing his demons.

Be careful...

And that's not because I don't
understand him. All right?

He's just an example of...
a man who was broken.

And I don't want to see
the same thing happen to you.

I remember when we were kids, Robin.

I was happy that you were dangerous
back then, right?

You could fight back.

And you could defend me.

I'm still happy about that
to this day. Right?

You just need to learn to tame
your inner monster.

Don't try to get rid of it.

Here in LOGOS,
we're not ashamed of ourselves.

Hey, Emily.

What's up?

There he is.

The big hero. Here you go, honey.

-I'm tired as hell. I'll go to bed.
-You're staying here.

Didn't you think I'd find out?

Hm?

That you helped...

Emily hide the fact

that she was pregnant
with my flesh and blood?

That you helped her m*rder...

my unborn child?

It was just because I wanted to...

It was because what? You know,
I want to hear it. Tell me.

You wanted to do what?

Is it because...

Emily is such a...

helpless soul...

who needs to be saved?

By you? Is that what you think?

Help her then.

Come on. Yes.

You can do it. Come on.

She'd have left long ago
if it wasn't for...

Turn around.

Of all the sh*t I've seen
and experienced in my life...

I've never been as disappointed
with anything as I am with you.

Remember that the next time
you try to manipulate my son

to go behind my back.

He shouldn't treat you like that.

Don't worry about me.

You're the one
who needs to get his act together.

You're not a f*cking boy anymore.

It meant nothing, Lasse.

You were upset, and I was drunk.

No one must know about this.
Do you understand?
