All language subtitles for Acquitted.S01E03_English

-What are you doing here?
-Isn't William here?

-I had to do something.
-Oh my God.

-Why are you really here?
-Everything stays the same.

The Hansteens keep their shares.
People keep their jobs.

Have you met your family at all?
Have you been out there?

Mum, it's me, Aksel.

I have certain rules.
You know, strange things can happen.

You've been away for a long time.

Erik?

Erik looks after me.
He was offered a job in Chamonix,

but chose to stay
at home with me instead.

Let's move on to the vote.

We end up on 50.5%.

Eva, I'm glad it's over.

I promise you this is far from over.

Not until everyone
has seen your true colours.

PWG and I are pleased
that we managed to bring

this collaboration
to a successful close.

To those of you who are
still feeling worried and insecure,

I understand where
you are coming from. Of course.

Changes are always challenging
and a bit scary.

I know there are many rumours
about deceitful motives,

cynical Chinese,
and fears over reflagging.

But this is not scary.

Internationally, Norway is
synonymous with reliability,

security and quality.
And these are the same values...

These are the same values

that Eva Hansteen
has represented all these years.

This is our primary weapon

in an acute, international
competitive situation.

As you know, the Hansteen family
holds a near majority of the shares.

Luckily, Eva Hansteen
will carry on as your manager.

Eva, come over here.

I'll spare you
from more party speeches.

As most of you know, I've had
a hard time these last few weeks.

Solar Tech
has been my life for 18 years,

and I feel
great responsibility for all of you.

I have put my own family aside
for the sake of the business

and this village,
of which I think so highly.

However, I can't go on
as managing director.

Therefore I choose today to withdraw
from my position at the company

with immediate effect.

It would be a betrayal
against myself and my whole family

to carry on
in the current situation.

Therefore I also intend
to sell our entire block of shares.

I don't think I can say any more.
Thank you.

-William.
-What is it?

Oh my God, what have I done?

Eva, is something wrong?

-I have left Solar Tech.
-Okay?

Not just my position.

-We're going to sell our block.
-The shares? You don't mean that.

Yes, it became perfectly clear
when I saw him.

We are not going
to sell the family shares.

Listen to me.
We can invest in something else.

No, we can't.

You want to destroy everything
in order for everyone to hate Aksel!

I can't believe it.
Everything I've built.

I am Solar Tech.

-You were nothing before you met me.
-What are you saying?

I'm the one
who's built up Solar Tech

on the ruins of your life work,
as you call it.

I gather I have to revoke
all powers of attorney.

You know you can't do that.

She's turning everyone against me.

This isn't easy.

What's your plan now?

Clean up, hire a few people
and forget I was even here.

I will not disturb you any longer.

-William.
-Yes?

Have a seat.

What would you say if I asked you
to fill Eva's position?

As managing director?

William, everything that's been
successful in the village

is associated with your name.

Yes, but I've been away for too long.

People trust you.
That's the most important thing.

And I need you.

-But what about Lars?
-Lars?

Yes. We share the same name.

He doesn't have much experience
as a director, but they trust him.

Aksel, you have
a visitor at the reception.

Mum, what are you doing here?

It's raining through the roof.

I had to put out buckets.

Okay. We'll fix it. I just have to...

-No, you don't have to.
-Come with me.

-You can't stay here any longer.
-What do you mean? Come.

It's been great to have you here,
but you can't stay here any longer.

-Okay.
-They're back.

Mum, stop it. Please.

They've drilled holes in the roof.

-Is Erik at home?
-Erik hasn't done anything wrong.

-We haven't done anything.
-I'm not saying that.

I just don't understand
why this has to affect us.

Let's go home.
I will not be long.

Dad?

-Dad, are you ill?
-No, no.

No, it's...

I quit my job today.

-Why?
-It's this business with Askel.

Grandma and I have chosen
not to work with him.

What are you going to do now?

-I'll work something out?
-Where will you work?

-At the supermarket?
-No.

It's going to be all right.

Do we have to move?

-What happened?
-I don't know.

I don't know. She just lost it.

She was fine,
but suddenly she wanted me to leave.

-In any case, I...
-I'll take it from here.

-The roof is leaking.
-I said I'll take it from here.

I'd be paranoid too
if the roof was about to collapse.

-Will you relax?
-Relax?

It's a sorry sight.
How you can live like this?

Sorry if we don't live up
to your standards.

You've let
both the house and mum decay.

You don't know mum or her needs,
so just drop it.

Don't you think I've wanted to move?
Get my own place?

-I can't because I'm stuck here!
-You haven't done anything.

-I've sent her money every month.
-You haven't been here.

But you have been here,
and you haven't done shit.

Where's the money?

What have you done with the money?
Don't you shush me.

Have you spent the money
on your snowboard project?

The trips to Chamonix? Have you spent
mum's money on skiing holidays?

No. Mum doesn't care about money.

Go to your goddamned closet
and hammer together a board

or a jet ski or something. Spend
my money on something meaningless.

Are the skiing conditions good?

Lars, what do you say
to taking over Eva's position?

You want to use me to get to Eva.
Forget it.

Did she discuss it with you first?

Did she ask if you thought it was
a good idea to get rid of everything

- just to make a point?
-It isn't as simple as that.

No? You'll be part
of a multinational company.

You can build a future
for this village and yourself.

I have no respect
for the way you operate.

Okay. I'm not asking you to like me.

I just think you should consider this
carefully before you decide.

Murderer

Losing your temper will not help.

I'd forgotten what it was like
to be branded a murderer.

-It doesn't suit you.
-What?

-Whining.
-Okay.

Managing director.

I can't take the job.

I don't even know
if I could head a company.

That's just because
you've never been given the chance.

Hi.

I've bought some groceries.

How wonderful.

William, I'm sorry.

I should have talked to you first.

I can't find anything to do.

What can I do?

I tidied the wardrobes.

I thought I'd trim the roses,
but you had already done that.

Did you think about Lars?

He still keeps his job
at Hansteen Holding.

He can work with investments.

So you can keep him
tied to your apron strings?

You let me raise him on my own.
Yes, that's right.

You used to work 24/7,

and now you run to the mountain
cabin as soon as you have a problem.

I'm sorry. William, I'm sorry.

I need you more than ever.

-Yummy. I'm starving.
-Hi.

-We haven't had this in a long time.
-You have to wait.

Hello.

-Hi.
-Are you making potato dumplings?

-You used to love that.
-I'll eat at my place.

It hasn't been easy for him.

-Here you go.
-Thank you.

I'm sorry I made a racket
at your workplace the other day.

Don't worry about it. Thank you.

Sometimes my head starts spinning.

After you left,
they started tagging the walls.

They threw rocks through the windows.
Huge bricks.

I was so worried about Erik.
He always defended you.

They were horrible to him.

What was that? Who is coming?

They're roofers.
I've asked them to come fix this.

No. Erik.

Mum, I've asked them to come.
They're just going to fix the roof.

They have to leave.

Fine.

-Hi. I have to ask you to leave.
-We're here to examine the roof.

-I know, but mum isn't feeling well.
-What is this?

-It's okay. They're leaving now.
-Are you insane?

-They're leaving now, okay?
-It's not okay!

You fuck everything up! Mum!

I'm sorry. You have to leave.

Do you know she's ripped out all the
pictures of me from the photo album?

Yes.

You have no idea. You don't have
a clue what's been going on here.

It was my birthday.
I was still in school.

Mum wanted to throw me a party.

She wanted to organise everything.
Cake and the whole kit and caboodle.

She went to the grocery store
to get supplies.

She overheard some kids saying
they were going to bash me at school.

She became hysterical and ran
to the school, into the classroom.

She grabbed me, dropped her bags.

There was vanilla custard
all over the floor,

and she slipped and slid,
completely hysterical.

She screamed your name.
Do you get it?

The kids loved it.
They almost pissed themselves.

-How old were you?
-15.

The Child Welfare Service came.

This house became a Mecca
for all the kids in the village.

They tagged all the walls.

"The house of Satan", it said.
"Addams Family".

Do you think it would have been
better if I had stayed?

It's too late
to think about that now.

Hello? I'm working in here.

I'm sorry.

Do you want to take a look?

-I can't see anything.
-You can move it yourself.

Keep your hands on the sides.
Don't touch the surface. Like this.

Then you move it.

Perhaps a bit upwards.

-What do you see?
-I don't know.

-Some stripes.
-Nanocrystals of silicon.

I'm trying to put these
on top of the existing cell.

Do you get how big this is,
if we manage to crack the code?

Then our shareholders
will be very pleased.

The future
will look completely different.

Think about it.
Where do you find the most sunlight?

By the equator,
in the world's poorest countries.

If we can produce double solar cells
in an inexpensive way...

-It will be the end to world poverty.
-Yes, as a matter of fact.

You have to think I'm an idiot
for trying to do this.

I'm not quite sure
what you're trying to do.

I don't know.
I just want to be done with it.

I don't know why I care about
what people here think of me.

-What is it?
-No, it's nice.

-What?
-This.

Walking and talking about it.
It's nice.

When I was little,
I always dreamt of living there.

I think it's empty now.

Come on.

Welcome.

-Do you remember these?
-Butt cheek curtains?

All proper families had these.

Do you have those now?

What? Butt cheeks?

You wanted four kids
and a German shepherd.

-No, that sounds more like Karine.
-No, that was you.

What was it with her? And you?

What was it
with Karine and everyone, really.

Was that the reason?
Everyone wanted her?

Maybe. But we can agree that it's not
the smartest thing I've done.

You know what? I'll buy it.

-Why?
-Because I can.

Hi, what are you doing here?
Hi, sweetie.

-Come inside.
-Did you make dad resign his job?

-No. Come in.
-Why did he have to resign?

He didn't have to. But it was very
difficult for the two of us to go on

when Aksel Nilsen and his partners
gained majority.

I don't understand it.
Why did you sell to him?

-But sweetie, we didn't do that.
-Then who did?

-It was Inger.
-Don't bother Helene with this now.

She deserves an honest answer.

Inger was the reason why Aksel Nilsen
gained the majority he needed.

I'm sorry. Come inside.
Are you hungry?

-Helene...
-No, Helene!

Wait! No...

Was that necessary?

It's the truth.

We don't need a new house.
And she hates changes.

That's why I'm asking you first.
Talk to her. She trusts you.

There's a flat in the basement.
Over 60 square metres.

I thought she would feel a bit safer
with you living there.

Are you going to talk to her?

Lars!

So you've become Aksel's errand boy.

Could you turn that thing off?

Yes?

I think you should show
what you're made of.

Take responsibility
for the company and the village.

-Not least for your family.
-You talk to me about responsibility?

I've made many mistakes,

but that does not mean
that you should do the same.

I don't get why this suddenly
is so important to you.

You've never cared about Solar Tech.

I care about you.

Here.

-You ruin everything in this family.
-Helene.

You sold us out.

Have you been to see Eva?

Fucking bitch.

Apologise! I said apologise!

-Where are you going?
-I've had it.

The house doesn't exactly come cheap.

Don't worry about it.

I'll live in the flat
in the basement,

and we'll have a calling system.

You just push the button,
and I'll come up whenever you need.

-Calling..?
-Yes, of course.

Do you want to take a look?

The bathroom floor is heated.
You can sleep on the ground floor.

And the dining room is in here.
You can have a long table here.

It's nice.

It's so beautiful. It's fantastic.

I've never been given
such a nice present before.

Aksel. My boy.

-Isn't it nice?
-Yes. Lots of windows. Panorama.

Windows are nice. Lots of light.

But people can look inside.

Mum, windows are nice. Very nice.

If you don't like it,
we can buy Venetian blinds.

-I don't know.
-It's going to be all right.

It'll be all right if we get an alarm
system and change all the locks.

-I have to go home.
-This is home. I've bought it.

-Mum, please.
-I have to go home.

-It's going to be all right.
-Erik, let's go home.

Mum?

-Lars?
-Mum?

Yes. Hi.

Aksel has offered me
your old position.

Aren't you going to say something?

What should I say?
That I'm proud of you?

-No.
-Lars.

If I only had raised you
to stand up for yourself.

-Are you angry?
-No.

No. It's my fault.
Everything's my fault.

Karine...
You were much younger than her.

I shouldn't have put
so much responsibility on you.

But you were so sensible.

I was so worried when she left.

She had had so much trouble
with Aksel, and I thought...

I was comforted by the thought
that you would look after her.

What are you saying?
How could I know?

No, of course not.

Forget what I said.
I don't know what I'm saying.

Is the offer still on the table?

Good, Lars. Congratulations.

-I don't do this for you.
-No.

But here you are anyway.

I want you to move out.

You can stay at the cabin until we've
sorted out all the practical details.

-You don't mean that.
-We can't pretend any more.

-We're just going to hurt each other.
-Eva.

We're too old for this nonsense.

You want a divorce because
I gave my son a piece of advice?

No.

But it's obvious that we can't live
together after what's happened.

-We've lived with that for 20 years.
-But then he came back.

Aksel is innocent. Do you want
to sacrifice everything for nothing?

Do you remember this?
Thank you for lending it to me.

I wondered where I had put this.

I had a guilty conscience.

-Are you going to leave?
-In a couple of days.

Are you alone?
I thought your mother would be here.

Mum didn't think
it was a good idea after all.

Or Erik.

-Give them some time.
-They've had 20 years.

-Are you whining again? Incredible.
-Am I?

Yes.

I better get moving.

Should we eat that deer fillet today?
We have to celebrate.

Should we wait for Helene?

Helene has moved in with my mum.

She feels that you
manipulated me into taking the job.

I should have warned you
against marrying a Hansteen.

-Can I do something?
-You should do as little as possible.

-What do you mean by that, exactly?
-Nothing.

Hey...
