In the Blood (I blodet)

JUNE

Good morning, champ.

Good morning.

- What the fuck? - What?

Who the hell drank my whisky?

What the fuck?

- Don't you have an exam today? - Yes.

I have some schnapps in the freezer.

It's a Yamazaki. My boss gave it to me. It's fucking expensive.

- Good morning, guys. - Good morning.

- Don't you have an exam today? - Yes, I'm on my way.

The blood count indicates a microcytic hypochromic anemia.

Moderate, as long as the Hgb is about 6.

It's important to differentiate whether it's an iron deficiency or an AKS.

- Hi, Mia. - Hi, Simon.

- How did it go? - I got an A.

- Great. - Is Knud up there?

Yes.

- Is that your stuff? - Yes.

What's going on?

Talk to Knud. He's up there.

Hey, man.

You don't take your stuff right away, do you?

- What do you mean? - She just took all her stuff and left.

You don't break up and take your stuff at the same time, do you?

You break up and meet later to get your stuff.

What did she say?

Sorry. We don't have to talk about it.

Fuck!

- I'm sorry. - Oh, shut up.

We're gonna have a great summer.

- It's gonna be a crappy summer. - No.

This one.

Unscrew this.

Hurry!

This stuff knocks the shit out of you.

Welcome. Nice to see you all.

This is a six-week course with classes Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

To this you can add residency at the Department of Infectious Diseases.

We'll end with a written exam in August which you have to pass to be posted.

It will primarily be on a river hospital on the Amazon in north Bolivia.

That's us this fall.

Questions?

I don't know Six months on a boat in the jungle?

It's a river hospital. We'll call at villages -

- with Indian tribes no one's seen before, and they haven't see us. Crazy!

- They have seen white people before. - No, never.

And they have all these weird diseases we haven't seen here.

You need to get out and feel yourself. Just get away from it all.

Away from Copenhagen. Just you and your thoughts.

We're gonna leave all the crap behind.

Down there no one tells you anything, no one remembers anything. We're gone!

We'll go away for six months. Fuck it all.

And when we come back to the apartment, we're better human beings.

Down there you won't have time to have a heartache.

We'll go to Bolivia all winter and you'll forget all about Mia.

We'll come back in April to the apartment and the guys -

and it'll be summer again.

Don't be too needy.

It's important not to text her right away. Let her come to you.

I haven't texted her.

I have to respect that she doesn't want to be with me.

Knud, I think I have the solution to all this.

You should go on Tinder.

- Go on Tinder. It's full of babes. - How come you know about Tinder?

I was on Tinder for a while, but then Katrine's friends found out.

I have the perfect text to write to all the girls.

- Listen. I'm doing a master class here. - "Hi, I'm Søren. I have a huge cock."

Wimps write "hi, beautiful". No, write a question. Force them to answer.

- Tired of being pussy-whipped? - I'm not pussy-whipped.

- The hell you aren't! - No way!

Come on, I've been on Tinder.

I'm not saying she fucks around, but she's racy, isn't she?

She's a flirt.

- Women fuck around as much as men. - I don't fuck around.

No, but some girl fucks another girl's boyfriend, and another guy fucks yours.

- Sure, I guess that's the way it is. - It's an eco system going in circles.

- So it's your turn to get laid now. - Precisely.

- You're a mountain, Knud. - That's it. A mountain.

Hold the rat by its tail. Who wants to try?

No thanks.

In it goes. It's starving.

Come on ... I've got some food for you.

Come on.

Watch this.

Come on ...

Fucking awesome shit!

- You're crazy. - Don't you want to feed it?

Hell no!

- How big animals can it eat? - A nice, fat rat.

But out there they eat deer or even humans. A cow.

Seriously, guys, you go on this river boat trip -

- where you camp with tents and mosquito nets -

- and in the middle of the night the Indians wake you up.

"Get up," they whisper.

You turn on your flashlight and in all the trees and on the ground -

- there are snakes, bugs, spiders and lizards darting around.

If you're lucky, you'll see little alligators.

You don't want a napkin in your fancy shirt?

No, I keep it in my lap. Only kids tuck it in their shirts.

You fucking snob!

You can catch piranhas from the boat.

- They're in the river? - Sure, lots.

They're not that dangerous. It's a myth. You can swim with them.

- Don't they bite? - No.

- Why does the name sound like "pirate"? - Because pirates ate them.

You're gonna be the world's best biologist.

- I'd fucking love to come. - You will.

- Esben, can you get off work? - Actually, I've talked to my parents.

They might lend me money for my own place.

- Are you saying you're moving out? - I've just been looking into it.

It's a great time to buy.

- Are you sick of us? - No way.

- Haven't co-op apartments gone up? - Yes.

Our apartment's value has gone up by 300,000 kroner. That's 85,000 each.

- Since when? - Since the last general meeting.

- Which you didn't attend. - You're harsh.

- For the third time running. - 85,000 could buy me a car.

We were just talking about Bolivia, and now we wanna sell the apartment?

- This is something we have together. - Hey, you're the ones leaving.

Only for six months.

- Six months go by like that! - I'd like to try living by myself.

See what it's like to be alone.

- Someone's coming. - Shut up, Esben.

- Simon, hurry. - Pussies!

- I can't open it. - Okay, let's drop it.

- What the fuck? - Take the leash.

- Is someone coming? - Let's go!

- You can't bring the goat in. - You won't let in the goat?

Come on. Just one beer.

- The goat is looking that way. - The music's over here.

No, over here.

- We ought to post it on Facebook. - Guys, I found the party.

- Any ladies? - Lots of ladies.

My feet are killing me.

- Because of your fancy leather shoes. - My classy shoes.

Here he comes. Hey there!

Hey there. Party!

Let's get a drink.

Get up, man! Check out all the babes.

- I can't right now. - You need a drink.

Not now, Simon.

I'm beat, Simon.

Let's get a drink.

Hey, champ. Where are you?

- Hey. - Hey.

- Have you seen my friend go by? - Dunno. What does he look like?

- He looks normal. - I don't think so.

- He may have had a goat with him. - What?

A goat.

Okay. I don't think I've seen a normal guy with a goat.

Maybe they went home.

Wanna come?

- What's wrong with this place? - It's a drag. Let's find the goat.

Let's go.

Maybe it went for at beer at Andy's.

If I were the goat, I'd be on a plane outta here.

If I were the goat, I'd be doing goat stuff -

- like eating grass and hanging out with sheep.

It's finally free. It's taken off to a far away place.

- Not a very responsible goat. - Responsibility is overrated.

- I don't think so. - No? Okay.

- My ex felt the same way. - Oh, was that a compliment?

- No. - I'm not looking for a relationship.

- Me neither. - Okay.

Relationships are overrated.

My friend would agree. He just got dumped after three years.

- How's he doing? - He feels like shit.

Don't all relationships end like that? They turn to shit?

I'm liable to agree.

Good morning, Kirsten.

Your X-ray results are back. You have pneumonia.

- Phew! - So it wasn't malaria.

- We'll put you on antibiotics. - Good.

- Okay. Get well soon. - Thank you.

- Good morning, Christian. How are you? - I'm better, thank you.

- I brought some students along. - Fine.

Let's take a look at Christian. He came back from vacation with a fever -

- joint and muscle pains, and he has a rash. I'll lift your blanket.

- Any guesses? You? - Dengue fever.

Well spotted. What to do?

Painkillers and observation.

And blood tests to establish antibodies.

You should ask him where he's been, and what else should we remember?

If there's a risk of his condition worsening.

No, incorrect.

Dengue Shock Syndrom.

Blood in the spit and stool, abdominal pain, blueness around the mouth.

Thank you, Christian. We'll look in on you later.

I was extremely tired.

Stomach pains and I've vomited.

It felt like the flu, but then I got bruises on my legs that won't go away.

My doctor said my eyes were yellow, and so was my skin.

So I was admitted.

How old are you?

I'm 23.

- Will you be there during my surgery? - Yes.

- What happened to you yesterday? - I went home early. I was beat.

- Where did you sleep? - I ended up on the west side.

It's all a blur.
