Nuuk

We went fishing.

She was wearing her lucky beanie.

It worked.

She caught a huge halibut.

It was a perfect day.

That night, she shot herself.

In July 2014,

this young girl from Nuuk shot herself because of a broken heart.

Greenland, an autonomous country that is part of Denmark

has the highest suicide rate in the world.

And what is the most disturbing of this statistic

is that it is the youth driving the numbers up.

Greenland is now struggling

to save the lives of a new generation of Inuit.

Elaisa, you have to wait to get your prescription refilled.

I need my Prozac. I can't sleep.

I'm sorry. I can't help you.

You have to consult with your doctor.

- Dr. Lund. - Elaisa?

I'm here at the pharmacy.

- They won't refill my prescription. - Sorry.

I'll be back Wednesday.

But I can't wait until Wednesday.

Come see me then so we can discuss it.

Okay, Wednesday. I'll see you.

Excuse me?

Whoa! Son of a bitch!

Son of a bitch!

Let me help you.

Thank you.

Be careful, it's slippery.

I was worried I wouldn't catch up with you.

So I ran.

Elaisa. Svendsen.

Mark Alvarez. Why?

I'll be honest with you.

You have something I want.

What is it?

Your Prozac.

You don't have a prescription?

I can pay you for it.

Is that even legal?

I can't help you. I'm sorry.

You don't understand.

I can't sleep.

I miss my husband. He died.

I'm struggling.

No, wait...

Talk to your doctor.

I did talk to my doctor.

I'm gonna see him Wednesday. I just need to get through the week.

Unbelievable.

Get out of the way.

- What's your number? - Why?

In case I need to call you.

- If I get into trouble. - Okay.

- For giving you Prozac. - Here.

Just call me.

I got the Prozac.

Oh, fuck.

Please help me.

My address is 12... Red house...

Smells like Barrio Fiesta.

Karl?

Karl?

Karl...

Who's Karl?

I'm sorry. I had to break in.

I couldn't get in last night.

I've patched it up for now.

What are you doing here?

You called me last night.

Shit, did I, really?

I'll be back to fix the door.

I need to buy some materials first.

I owe you so much already.

Well, I shouldn't have given you the Prozac.

I'm to blame.

It's not your fault. It's mine.

And it won't happen again.

Of course not. I'm never giving you Prozac again.

I knew it.

You've got the wrong impression about me.

I had no intention of killing myself.

I just wanted to sleep.

Well, you were out like a light.

You were snoring so loud, I didn't wanna wake you.

I was snoring?

I didn't wanna call an ambulance.

I figured I'd just let you sleep it off.

You seemed fine.

I stayed the night to make sure you were okay.

Sorry, Mark.

Thank you.

Don't worry about it.

We Filipinos should look out for each other.

Well, you should eat.

This adobo is delicious!

Leave some for me.

I'm kidding. You can have it all.

I miss this so much.

Elaisa.

I have to tell you something.

Don't take it the wrong way.

What is it?

I think...

I think...

you need help.

I don't need a nanny.

Then you can treat me as your friend.

Do I have a choice?

No.

I had a little emergency last night.

I just wanted to tell you about it.

I was stupid.

And I... I took too many pills.

But I'm okay now.

Good thing Mark was there.

Anyway...

Not much going on.

Just wanted to let you know.

I guess I just miss you.

Bye, Fred.

Are you still awake?

Mark?

Hello. Elaisa, are you okay? Is something wrong?

I can't go cold turkey.

Can you give me just one?

I'll replace it.

I was hoping you'd realize you don't need Prozac.

After what happened to you.

But I need one now.

Ask me a question.

Huh?

Ask me a question.

Are you gonna give me Prozac?

No.

Ask me anything but that.

I don't know what to ask you.

Okay, then, I'll do the asking.

What do you do?

My husband owns a restaurant business.

Okay. And you're gonna manage it now?

No, I'm selling our shares.

Why?

I want to go back to the Philippines.

For good?

No. I won't survive there.

But I have this idea for a business.

You know how Europeans visit the Philippines for the winter

and make their bookings online?

I want to start my own booking site.

There are a lot of booking sites.

How will you compete?

I'll offer bigger discounts.

I just need to talk to the proprietors.

That might work.

I'll start with this resort we used to visit.

I will focus on the Philippines islands and beach destinations.

I'm looking for shipping partners for my business.

Packed fish meat.

Am I boring you?

Are you busy Wednesday?

Why?

Please accompany me.

I have a doctor's appointment.

You can wait outside.

Hmm, what made you change your mind?

You won't give me any Prozac.

I might as well ask the doctor.

Whatever it takes.

Okay, I'll go with you.

For moral support.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

- It's time to sleep. - Okay.

Good night.

Good night? You mean, "Good morning."

Bye.

Elaisa, we've stepped down your dosage by half.

You're experiencing withdrawal from Prozac.

And it's normal. They'll fade.

But it's too much to handle.

Can you refill my prescription?

Yes, but avoid alcohol, because you might relapse into depression.

Can you take that without alcohol?

Of course.

And what if you call me again in the middle of the night?

Let's get a coffee. My treat.

Sure. Where?

Since it's such a beautiful day, let's take a walk.

I've seen everything there is to see in this town. Can't we just sit down?

Do you know Hans Egede?

Hans Egede?

Come on, I'll introduce you to him.

This is Hans Egede.

He named the city "Godthab," which means "Good Hope,"

or Nuuk in Greenlandic.

How do you know this?

My son Karl learned about it in school.
