Hi, Nina. Welcome home.

You have a message from the bank.
Do you want to hear it?

Yes.

Hi, Nina.
You have 27 overdue payments.

Do you want to postpone
payment further for 14 days,

with 14% interest?

Yes.

I'm sorry, Nina. We are unable
to postpone payment further.

You will receive a debt
collection notice in ten days' time.

No. Postpone!

-Sorry. We are unable to postpone.
-Postpone!

I'm sorry, Nina. We are unable
to postpone payment further.

You will receive a debt
collection notice in ten days' time.

-What are you doing?
-I was trying to...

We have a trust-based system
down here.

You're breaking in.

I'm sorry. I just moved in here.
I was looking for a place to...

-Have I seen you before?
-No.

-Did you go to SAD?
-SAD?

The School
of Architecture and Design.

-Does it look like I did?
-I don't know.

Anything else?

-It was just this.
-Put that down and leave.

Yes.

What do you mean? I thought
you were in control of this.

Why haven't you said anything?
I could have helped you.

If we're going to be parents,
we have to be honest.

-I'm being honest now.
-But it's 450 000 NOK too late.

-Yes.
-Yes.

I tried to fix it on my own.

But I couldn't do it.

You have to help me.

You have to help us, right?
You have to do it.

It's just a finger.

You don't even have
to take all of it.

Just enough for us
to get back on our insurance.

Nina, think about this.

I'm an architect. I need my hands.

A toe, then.

So this is your plan?
Insurance fraud?

You can say you had
an accident at work. Like I did.

-What does that mean? Like you did?
-Yes.

What? I mean, did you stab yourself?

-No!
-Okay?

Why did you say that?

-That's what you just said.
-I didn't say that!

-Do you think I'm lying?
-No, of course not.

-It happened, Marcus!
-Yes, I know it happened.

-Yes!
-I'm sorry. I misunderstood.

I'll get that money.

I just have to win that competition.

I'll build 1,000 flats downtown.

Or the thing with the toe.

Hi!

I knew I had seen you before.

You saw that I looked at you.

You're the mannequin lady.

-What are you talking about?
-You know what I'm talking about.

Is your job any better?

I'm an architect.

Okay?

It's not really what I do anyway.

What do you really do, then?

I'm an activist against...

-Activism?
-I remove hostile architecture.

How is it activism to destroy
something others have created?

If you and your architect friends
would build for normal people,

not just the wealthy
who don't even live here,

then perhaps I wouldn't have to...

Sorry. I didn't realise
it was that bright.

Maybe if...

Wow.

Maybe it pays off to have
an architect down here anyway.

I'm actually just an intern.

I make coffee and stuff.

My name is Julie.

Kaja.

Are you hungry, Kaja?

No.

Okay. Thanks.

You almost forget that
you're ten metres below the ground.

Is there a queue?

Should I spit in it?

-Good night.
-Sleep tight.

-What are you doing?
-It's nothing.

Sure it is. Show me.

The idea is to change the purpose
of all the parking garages downtown

and build flats instead.

-Okay?
-Yes.

Where there used to be cars.

But there are no windows here.

No, but the new
Planning and Building Act

means we're no longer required
to have daylight in living rooms.

-Well, glass is very expensive.
-Exactly.

And the parking garages
are already there.

-It's sustainable.
-Yes.

You might be on to something here.

-And these are the samples.
-This is a great idea, Julie.

-Too bad you're just an intern.
-Why?

We're trying to win over
the biggest developer in Oslo.

We can't present Lobos

with an intern's
arts-and-crafts project.

That's no good.

See if one of the architects
will help you out.

How's it going?

It's going well.

I really feel like
I'm on to something here.

Marcus, I know
you don't have an idea.

What if we use my idea?

-That idea of yours, Julie...
-I know, but I have a new idea.

I know what you're thinking,
but there's a market for this.

In Berlin, for instance,
loads of people live underground.

It's both cold and dark down here.
I guess that's something.

Just imagine how nice it will be
with some walls and proper lighting.

You won't get regular people
to live below the ground.

Julie!

-Who's that?
-I don't know.

She said your name.

-She did?
-I have something for you.

We don't want to buy anything.

-I owe you for the pizza.
-No thanks.

How do you know each other?

I've been down here a lot
doing research.

-And met a lot of people.
-I see.

And we're neighbours.

You live down here?

-No.
-Jesus...

-It's very...
-Minimalistic?

Yes. Or naked, maybe.

-Should I come with you?
-No, just stay there.

Is that supposed
to replace a window?

Yes, but this is just a test.

Picture this as a wall of lights
which emulates the sunlight

and can regulate the colour
temperature throughout the day.

That will provide a sense
of circadian rhythm.

Yeah, that would be
a bit like a window, I guess.

Right?

People live down here already.

People are desperate,
and we would be helping them.

We're improving something
that already exists.

-Okay.
-Yes?

Let's do it.

-Then I want half the money.
-Half?

We're a team, aren't we?

Yes. I guess so.

And we'll call the project "Cubes".

"Cubes".

With a "z"?

That's cool.

-"CubeZ".
-"CubeZ".

"CubeZ-Z".

I'm a bad b*tch, don't step on me

You will feel it in the eyes
when you look at me

You'll get turned real quick
when you hear me

Or get busted by security
if you touch me

Pass the check,
I've got money to spend

I asked a Swedish chick to come,
but she left me cold

Drop the knife, I'm holding a sword

I'll gut you medieval style
like a prima donna

Relax, I don't curl the money

Made you lunch this morning,
you can call me daddy

I'm f*cked up

No side-view mirrors,
only one way up
