Whilst the dialogue is in Danish, Isaac wrote the script (as seen below) in English. Our actor, Alexander, translated it on the shoot. Additionally, changes have been since then to the actions and dialogue shown and heard in the opening.

A COSY BEDROOM
INT. DAY.
A teenage male
lies asleep in a bed in a plain white bedroom.
Silence coats the
house.
The time hits
09:00, the radio starts playing music.
The sleeping
person, ALEX, is woken by the loud music.
He takes a few seconds to slowly wake
up and think clearly.
He sits up slowly, looking around clearly confused.
ALEX
What the hell!
Where am I?
He grabs his head as if he has a headache.
ALEX
(In pain) Ahh!
Christ!
He notices his
hand is bandaged.
He unwraps the
bandage slowly, revealing a "5" carved into his skin.
ALEX
(Shocked)
What the hell is
that! What is going on!
He looks around
the room panicking now. He swings his leg out of bed and stands up, dizzy.
Suddenly his head starts hurting again and he falls to his knees clutching his
head.
ALEX
Aaah! What the-
He cuts off as he
experiences a series of jerky, blurry
flashbacks.
Alex is seen
running down a street away from the camera, CUT,
he looks down at his body,
CUT, we see his terrified face, end of flashbacks.
Alex is lying on
the floor, the radio shows half an hour has passed.
ALEX
Why can't I
remember anything! What are these visions?!
He slowly gets on
to his knees and stands up,
however he only rises halfway as he sees a
"4" scratched into the door handle.
ALEX
Wait a minute ...
"5" ... "4" ... where's the "3"? And where will
it lead me?
Reaching out he
opens it, revealing a hallway. He looks around then glances at his hand. He
decides to search for the "3" on all the door handles.
ALEX
Find the
"3" ... Find the "3"...
He finally sees the "3"
on the living room door handle.
ALEX
(Gleeful) Bingo!
He opens the door
to the living room.
The living room is
warm and homely and has lots of pictures
scattered about the room some with him
in but with the other people torn out.
The sofa has a large "2"
arranged out of paper sticky notes.
Alex notices the
two and starts walking over.
ALEX
The "2"!
Where's the "1"?
He reaches the
"2" and looks around for the "1" but he cannot find it. He
sees the TV remote on the table and realises that the "1" is the only
number not scratched out. He turns on the
TV by pressing the
"1".
The TV shows a
clip of ALEX messing around with a friend who is never shown. There is no
sound, he seems happy. Instructions appear on the screen.
TV
If you ever want
to regain your memory.
If you want to gain revenge on those who took your mind.
If you ever want your life back...do exactly as I say.
The TV flickers
out.
Cut to black.
