Why?

- The Limetech people freaked out.

They say we made the intervals

shorter than we agreed.

Did you?

- Of course not.

They're just making it up.

But Mikael, I was thinking...

about those pills.

I threw them out. There's no way I'm

going to take any more of that stuff.

Okay.

Is he okay,

the guy I hit?

He's fine.

He got off quite lightly.

Nobody seems to have suffered

any lasting damage.

I'm really sorry about what happened.

I don't know what got into me.

Anyway, we offer counseling

to all the participants.

Well... I don't think I need it. I think

some of the others need it more.

Yes, but it may be good

to talk things through anyway.

I'll see how things go.

Hello...!

Good morning.

Have you been out rowing?

- No, I just stopped by to say hello.

How sweet...

Actually I need to ask you a favor.

Can Selma stay the weekend?

- Of course.

Then we could go away somewhere.

This weekend?

But I was going to see my mother.

Oh.

When did you decide that?

I've been meaning to do it for ages.

And she's not got much time left.

You never mentioned that.

I understand Mikael.

I still feel bad about not

seeing Dad more before he died.

You do?

It's just a couple of days, Sigrid.

Yes.

How long are you thinking?

Why should a few people ruin the

chances I was given by those pills?

The changes have happened

almost imperceptibly.

I don't know exactly

what's happening.

But I feel good about the results.

When you've always tried to stay

on the track, it's nice to leave it.

Of course, I can't go on

with the scans and blood tests.

Everything will be

much simpler and more primitive.

I need to keep checking my blood

pressure and physical condition.

Eat healthily.

Work out regularly.

Try to get eight hours' sleep

every night.

I need to stay away

from Sigrid for a while.

Without meaning to,

she's limited my freedom.

Down here I can proceed

without interruption.

This is day 29.

I have enough pills for four months.

I 'll try to let whatever

comes along inspire me.

If I keep an open mind,

there's nothing to worry about.

It's good to be back.

Hello?

Is Anton there?

Hello?

- Anton?

No.

- Did I get the wrong number?

Maybe not...

- Does Anton still work there?

I can't tell you. What do you want?

- lsn't this Marstal Supermarket?

Who am I speaking to?

- Sorry. My name is Soren Karlsen.

I'm married to Anton's sister.

We were so happy when we heard

he had a job in your shop.

But it's been over two months

since we heard from him.

Anton doesn't work here anymore.

Do you know where he's gone to?

Yes, Anton died.

He is dead.

When? I mean...

- Well, it was a few weeks ago.

What happened?
