Among Us (Änglavakt)

In the year 1814 Pierre Simon LaPlace formulated

what came to be known as the classic definition of probability.

It states that the probability of an event occurring equals the ratio

of the number of favourable cases to the number of all possible cases.

This means that if you for instance have ten marbles in a jar,

of which seven are black and three are white,

the probability of obtaining a white marble is three in ten.

Similarly, the probability of obtaining a black marble

is seven in ten.

But as we all know, life is never that simple.

AMONG US

If you didn't pay the premium, you're not covered by the insurance.

The number of years no claims, minus the excess.

There's no need to yell, I hear you perfectly clearly.

We always send two reminders before we cancel a policy.

Yes, that is a shame.

Developing your drawing ability is about tricking your left brain

so it doesn't interfere with the right brain's work.

Well, look here.

Very good.

Four cheers for Ernst.

- Happy birthday, Dad. - Thanks!

We didn't have enough candles, but Mum said that didn't matter.

These seventy will have to do.

Happy birthday, darling. I know how you enjoy being reminded of your age.

And I want to thank everyone here tonight.

My husband is a very organised person, whom it's hard to keep secrets from.

Tell me about it!

A toast for the world's best husband, dad and friend.

- I've never been in such good shape. - I can tell.

My goal is to run it in three hours twenty. I did three thirty this year.

- Three twenty. - I think that's possible.

But you grown-ups get to stay up.

I know, it's unfair.

I'm not even tired.

- Yes, I can see that. - Good night.

I love you.

You're such a great guy, Ernst.

- I like you too, Birger. - No, listen.

You're a good person. You're a good friend.

But listen to me now.

You're very fortunate. Do you realise that?

OK, I'm a little drunk. But I mean what I say.

Look around. Friends...

Family.

Cecilia.

The wonderful, charming and beautiful Cecilia.

And Alexander!

What a great kid!

Careful!

Good night to you. Christ, I'm drunk!

Goodbye.

Take me to a nightclub.

Dad.

I didn't mean to.

- It's okay. Come. - What's the matter?

Nothing.

Up with your arms.

There.

Now you even smell nice for a change.

Alexander!

Alexander, can you hear me?

Did you see what happened?

- How old is he? - He's almost nine.

We have to operate to stop the haemorrhaging.

I'm sorry, but we have no choice.

- But you said the surgery went well. - Absolutely.

The procedure was successful. We managed to stop the bleeding.

Alexander's vital signs are satisfactory. But...

We have a problem.

Alexander has not regained consciousness after the operation.

But there must be something you can do.

When we examine Alexander's EEG trace, we see

that his brain activity is moderately weaker.

The brain is incredibly complex.

We're doing everything we can to get Alexander well and back home.

In the meantime it is vital that you are there for him.

Physical contact is crucial to his recovery.

I'm convinced that your physical presence will help in his recovery.

He had exactly the same brown hair as Benke. The same brown eyes.

"Who are you?" I said. "I'm Jum-Jum," he answered.

And then I saw that he wasn't exactly like Benke after all.

He looked more serious yet kinder than Benke.

Benke is kind, too, of course. Kind like me.

But we could still fight sometimes.

You could get mad for a while, but then you became friends again.

But you couldn't fight at all with Jum-Jum. He was sort of too kind.

Someone had purposely turned the water on and flooded the basement.

It was fraud, no doubt. You should have heard them argue.

- Are you listening to me? - What?

I don't want to pry, but you haven't considered taking some time off?

- What do you mean? - A leave of absence.

Considering what you're going through.

Don't worry, we'll manage. In fact, we might manage better without you.

Hello, this is Cecilia Josefsson again.

We're... OK.

Last time we spoke...

Afterwards I read on the internet about a new method of testing.

Something that you also had tried.

But Alexander's EEG has been stable now for several weeks.

So why did they make this diagnosis?

Good night, Alexander. I'll see you tomorrow.

I love you.

- Try and get some sleep now. - Thank you. See you tomorrow.

I'm leaving now. Bye.

Mum, I love you.

I want you to know you can call me at any time. Any time at all.

- I'm here for you. Okay? - OK.

It doesn't look so bad. You look good with dark circles under your eyes.

Sort of panda chic, you know.

Are you all right?

Here, take this.

- Thank you very much. - Are you hurt?

- You speak French? - Yes, no, not really. A bit.

- You are most kind. - It's nothing, really.

- He stole my wallet. - You need to go to the police?

No, it's OK. Thank you.

- I could take you to a hospital. - No, I'll be alright.

Oh, my head...

- You live around here? - No, I don't believe so.

Are you sure you don't want to sit in the front?

I feel really sorry for you. How awful.

- It's a real shame. - Yes, indeed.

- Are you going to be OK? - Yes, I'll be fine.

Take good care of yourself now. Goodbye.

Everything will be fine. It will all work out.

Were you alone in the garage? Wasn't there anyone else who could help?

I wasn't thinking that clearly. I just acted.

In any case... I gave him a ride to the police.

Couldn't you have just called the police? Or an ambulance?

- Or put him in a taxi? - His wallet was stolen.

- And he didn't speak Swedish. - He didn't speak Swedish?

- No, he spoke French. - French? He spoke French.

That's what was so strange;

I haven't spoken French since school, but all of a sudden I could speak it.

I could make myself understood. A little bit at least.

- Maybe it was the shock. - This all sounds crazy.

I know.

He could have been dangerous. He could have been a psychopath.

In any case, I gave him a ride to the police and that was it.

He was very grateful.

I'm sure. I can understand that.

Thank you. Bye.

Hello.

That will be 299 crowns, please.

Thank you.

- Hello. How are you? - I'm fine. And you?

I'm fine.

- What a surprise to see again. - Yes, indeed.

- My nose is like new. - How fortunate.

Walter. My name is Walter. We never introduced ourselves.

- My name is Cecilia. - A beautiful name. It becomes you.

Thank you.

- May I buy you a cup of coffee? - I'm sorry, but I don't have time.

Just a small cup?

That was pretty bad. Excuse me, do you call this coffee?

You always have to do everything yourself.

- How did it go at the police? - No problem, everything's fine.

- Cecilia, I really want to thank you. - I didn't do much.

On the contrary, most would not have helped, believe me.

You are very brave. I'm forever grateful to you.

- You live here? In Stockholm? - No, I'm visiting, but it's lovely.

Yes.

Are you here on business?

Yes, you could say that.

Excuse me.

It was nice meeting you again.

I'm pleased that everything worked out. But I have to go now.

- Thank you for the coffee. - Cecilia.

I know that you are in pain. Great sorrow.

Do not be afraid. Your heart is great. You have much love and kindness.

But you're unhappy and seem to be faltering. And I want to help you.

I want to help Alexander.

I believe in you.

Goodbye.

- Cecilia... - He says he wants to help us.

- He wants to help Alexander. - Cecilia, that's enough.

- Listen to me. - Stop it.

You listen to me. I've just come from the hospital and I'm tired.

Do you hear what you're saying?

I can't take it.

My experience tells me

that if your son's condition does not improve very soon,

there's a serious risk that he may fall into a more critical state.

Don't you hear yourselves? You've already given up.

I already know how serious things are. You don't have to tell me.

- Just say what you're doing for him. - We're doing our very best.

Then show it! Just stop talking about Alexander as if he were dead!

Cecilia. What is it you want?

What do I want? I want Alexander back. I want our son to get well!

Don't you think I want that too? But we have to listen to the doctors.

- Do we really? - Yes!

Do you believe in destiny?

What do you mean?

Predestination, that things don't just happen by chance.

No.

When you and I met, was that also by chance?

Yes. Call it chance or coincidence.

- And Alexander... that's just chance? - Yes.

Do you really believe that?
