Escaping Bolivia (Flukten fra Bolivia)

THE FOLLOWING SERIES IS INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY

NAMES, DIALOGUE AND EVENTS HAVE BEEN FICTIONALIZED

Prison was predictable.

Outside, anything could happen.

I'm struggling to remember the car trip to Rio.

Everything was like a bad dream.

All of Norway knew that I was on the run in Brazil.

And now the police knew as well.

I was supposed to get a passport and a new identity.

It was supposed to go smoothly.

But how wrong can you be?

Nice. I'll just take one more.

Right there.

- That looks good, doesn't it? - Yeah.

It looks perfect.

Tommy will deliver these to the passport people tonight.

And in the meantime?

As long as you're in here, you'll be safe.

We'll wait. It should be quick.

Okay?

- See you later. - Yes, see you later.

- Is this goodbye? - Yes, but only for a little while.

I'm flying to Norway tonight.

I have to go home and fix the last few things.

Okay.

We will get you home, okay?

- Hi. - Hi.

- Is she asleep? - I think so.

How did it go?

No one could have predicted this.

Brazil is hosting the Olympics in four years.

They've updated their passport systems.

All passports have to go through a barcode machine.

- So she can't make it home? - Not with that system.

We have to find another solution. Another passport.

We're completely out of money.

That's why I need to go, to get more money.

And if I don't?

You have to. Otherwise, she's stuck here.

ESCAPING BOLIVIA

DAY 10 ON THE RUN

DAY 25 ON THE RUN

It doesn't look promising.

All the names on the list are crossed out?

They are the ones who turned us down.

DAY 38 ON THE RUN

Hi, this is Joakim Sten from Alfa Magazine.

Okay.

I understand…

There must be something we can do.

DAY 59 ON THE RUN

DAY 68 ON THE RUN

Hi, Tommy. I'm on my way to the office.

You said it would be a couple of days.

- Oh, Ida, hi. - I've been rotting

in this fucking apartment for three months!

I understand that you're upset.

Lucas won't even remember me by the time I get back!

Trust me, we're working as fast as we can.

We're working on it,

getting a passport is trickier than we thought.

I'll go crazy if I stay in this house any longer!

I understand…

My prison cell was better than this!

We're doing everything we can to make this happen.

- How long will it take? - Sorry, but I have to hang up.

Please don't, Joakim!

Excuse me, Joakim? Leif Moen, from VG.

Ida's lawyer says you were the last one seen with her.

Do you know where she is? Did you help her escape?

I need to get in.

Did you know the police may press charges

against you and your magazine?

- I would get a lawyer if I were you! - No comment.

- Look who's here! - I was stopped by a journalist.

He said the police might press charges against us.

They suspect we're helping Ida. We'll end up in jail.

If Ida ends up in a Brazilian jail, we can't help her!

She won't survive in there!

- And it's all my fault! - It's not your fault.

She wanted to get out and you helped her.

I haven't helped her!

If we don't get that money, I don't get how we're gonna…

I can't take it anymore!

Go home, okay?

I'll handle it, okay?

I'll get the money for the passport.

- Okay. - I promise.

- That's okay by you? - That's fine.

Thank you.

Yes.

I'm not good at this.

And that's fine.

Thanks, man.

I'll handle it.

DAY 81 ON THE RUN

- I have something to tell you. - Come in.

I have a present for you.

- Am I going home? - You are going home.

Won't you open it?

I'm supposed to use someone else's passport?

Yes, you are.

And if I get caught?

We tried to find one that looks like you.

That looks like me? She doesn't look anything like me.

Not even with the wig on.

- It won't work! - Yes it will.

- No! - Yes, it will.

Imagine how many faces they see at passport control.

My God, can you hear how insane this sounds?

It's the only way to get you home.

I can't force you. It's a decision you have to make.

Do you want to go home to Lucas?

Or do you want to wait here for a better solution?

Because I don't know what that solution would be.

Think about it.

Thanks for meeting me today.

Hi, Grandma!

Hi, Max!

- He seems to be having fun. - Yeah, he can't sit still.

- And school? Is it going well? - Yes.

Go on, Wenche… What do you want?

I…

I wish I could see Max a little more often.

- It's all been a bit much lately. - I know. For all of us.

I still don't understand how Ida could blame Michelle.

Didn't she realize that Max would grow up without a mother?

I don't know, Berit.

Is it fair for Michelle to take all the blame?

Ida was also punished.

She's been locked up for almost four years.

And now she's out? Disappeared!

And she'll show up in Norway soon?

I'm not stupid. I know what's going on.

If you think Ida can meet Max, manipulate him,

and pretend that nothing has happened…

you're wrong.

Is that why you agreed to meet me today?

To threaten me?

Max!

- Let's go! - I don't want to go now!

Do you think it'll work?

Yes.

I think it will.

I've got a video from someone you know.

If you want to take a look.

Come here, Lucas! Come here!

Can you say hi to mommy?

Can you show Mommy you can walk?

Yes, look at you! Get up again!

He's grown so much!

- He's smiling! - And he's walking.

Big guy.

Let's go home.

Agreed.

- I'll try and find some tickets. - Yes.

Can I just watch the video one more time?

As many times as you want.

Can you walk for me?

- Hi! - Hi, Lucas, come here!

Yes.

Come in!

- How are the Alfa males doing? - How did you get in?

It's not exactly Fort Knox.

I told your colleague I have no comment.

Yeah, I know.

I'm impressed that you got Ida to talk.

- She speaks only to you? - Helene, come on.

- It's a big responsibility. - Are you here to lecture me about it?

No, I…

I came to tell you that your profile piece on Ida

will turn out pretty good.

And that you're doing what we should've done from the beginning.

Getting her home.

Good job.

Have a nice evening.

Bye.

Your attention, please.

This is a message for all passengers from flight 45…

I need to see your passport, Miss.

- Oh, here? - Yes.

Come on.

Thank you.

This is an announcement…

Miss Ida Berge Hansen, please report…

Wait. This isn't you.

I was born on March 22, my name is Katrine Solberg. Star sign, Aries.

I was born on March 22.

My name is Katrine Solberg.

Born on March 22.

Katrine Solberg. Star sign, Aries.

Are you guys ready to go home?

Yes.

I'm just stressed about the airport.

You don't have to be, nothing to worry about.

Ida, is your suitcase ready?

Girls, the taxis are waiting outside. I'll go with you.

This one can stay behind.

There is nothing in it, okay?

- Ready? - Yeah.
