THICKER THAN WATER

-Hi. -Hi.

-Are you all right? -Yeah, great.

So, how about it?

I think this could be good. Really bloody good.

The location might not be perfect, but I think I can make it work.

Come on, Mischa, help me out. You know you can trust me.

Lasse, Lasse, Lasse...

-I just need some start-up capital. -No way.

You're dead in the restaurant business.

But I've got something else.

You've got connections on Åland, right?

What? What have you got?

-Pure heroine. 30 kilos. -Jesus Christ, are you insane?

I'm only joking.

What happened to your sense of humour?

It's nothing bad. Just stuff that needs to cool off for a bit.

I can't... I can't go back to that.

Listen, I'm trying to help you.

You'll come away with 10,000 euros!

That's your start-up capital.

All you have to do is get on the boat, meet me on the water,

and sit on the goods for a while.

Think about it. We'll talk tomorrow.

Hello?

Oskar?

Oskar?

Liv?

Hello?

Hello?

-Hi, Mischa. -Have you thought about it?

I said no. I just can't do it.

Lasse, I need you.

Tell you what.

At least go out and check the ice to see if we can make it ashore.

Can you do that?

-All right. Sure. -Thank you.

-Get back to me afterwards. -Talk to you later.

Hello.

You're here early. What...?

What time is it?

I came early to help. Jonna phoned.

Why haven't you picked up? I phoned and phoned.

I'm not sure where my phone is.

It should be around here somewhere...

Are you all right?

It should be here...

-Hey, what's going on? -What do you mean?

-What's going on? -Nothing. It's just... Åland.

I mean the inn. How are we supposed to get this ready for next week?

Have you ordered anything? Food, drinks? Is that taken care of?

-Hungry? Want something to eat? -No.

I shot one of those... What's it called? A...

What is going on with you? Where is Liv?

I don't know. She's on a trip somewhere.

-Still? -Yeah...

I think she...

She left me, I think.

She's not coming back. Nobody ever comes back.

We'll get through this. Jonna said she'd be here as soon as she could.

Why are you hiding out here?

Because it's so uncomfortable in there.

Don't you think?

I'm afraid I might break something.

-Yeah, I guess it is a bit... -Pretentious, maybe?

Yeah, it is.

So, Jonna?

You're the bull in the china shop. It's nice to finally meet you.

I'm Gavin Leonard. I'm the producer.

Oh, my God!

Take care. Bye.

-See you soon. Bye, guys. -Bye!

I think it's time... for tequila.

-Could you call me a cab? -Sure.

Sure.

One, two, three.

Gavin, it's been a lovely evening.

My pleasure.

But I have to go now.

No, you really don't.

-Yes, I have to. -No.

Yes.

-Gavin, no. -What?

Oh, come on.

Gavin, please, I really don't want to.

Oh, I see. Forgive me, my mistake. It's because you're so...

Special.

-No. -Show me how special you are.

-What do you mean? -You know what I mean.

-No, don't. -You know what I mean.

Gavin, no. Please.

Stop. No, Gavin. Please. No.

-Come here. -Stop. No!

-Come here. -Don't! Stop!

-I don't want to. Please! -Come here.

Let me go!

You fucking broke my nose!

You are so fired!

-Hi, Dad! -Hello, darling.

Finally! Pick up when I phone you, or I get worried.

Do you know how expensive talking on the phone is? I can text or Skype.

-Where are you right now? -Åland, with Oskar.

-So soon? -I came early.

There's a lot to do.

I bet it's really lovely there now, all decked out for Christmas.

Well... Sure, lovely. When are you coming back?

I'm not sure. Fredrik wants to go to Cambodia, but...

I don't know. I'm feeling homesick.

You'll be back for Christmas, right? Unless you go to your mum's.

I don't know.

I'll be Santa.

Wear that, and I definitely won't come home.

-I miss you. Do you need any money? -No, Fredrik's got some.

Do you have enough to get home?

Kim?

-Lasse, it's about time you called. -Yeah, hi.

-I'm in. -I knew I could count on you.

Hey...

-I want 15,000. -Okay. Done.

I'll send you the coordinates and the time and keep you posted.

SEE YOU TOMORROW /M

-Hi, Dad. -How are you, darling?

It's fun but so hard. There's so much I have to memorize.

I don't understand how you can learn it all by heart.

-Are you coming home for Christmas? -Yeah. To rest, not to work.

I get that. Anything else?

Anything exciting that you want to tell me? Anything I should know?

No. Like what?

Dad, have you tried phoning Mum?

Cecilia, I should really get back to work.

Loads to do. Back to work.

-Take care, darling. I love you. -You too. Bye.

Hello. I don't think we've met. Laura Nord.

Lasse. I own this place with my siblings.

Oh, you're the city boy?

You could say that. But I grew up here.

Don't take it personally. Small towns, you know. People get jealous.

-Pretty young for a detective. -That's Eskil, my son.

I couldn't get a sitter.

Needs must. In fact, that's why I came.

To get a sitter?

No, because there's a weather alert.

The first winter storm of the year is not to be taken lightly.

Listen to the radio.

-Best to stay indoors, then? -Right.

Thanks for the heads-up. Nice to meet you!

Take care.

Hi.

-I'm so glad to see you. -Same here.

-How did the film go? -Not quite as I'd planned.

-Why? -Never mind.

How are things here?

-Well... -How is Oskar?

-Let's go in. I'll take that. -Thanks.

-Do you want some coffee? -Yes, please.

-Oh my God! -I know.

-What have you done? -Us?

It was even worse yesterday.

Bloody hell...

-Not exactly Christmassy. -No...

Should we just give it a miss?

-We just have to get cracking. -We'll never get it done in time.

We have to! We've got ads out.

But no food or drinks have been ordered.

Oskar has completely crashed.

-I'm not even sure there's any money. -We'll work it out.

We should have the tree here, where it's always been.

And some decorations... Did you find the box with ornaments?

No. Didn't we used to have the tree by the front desk?

No, it's always been here. And we have to get the little Santas.

Santas?

The ornamental Santas Mum used to have.

White table cloths, green napkins and those red candelabras.

-I thought they were gold. -Red. What's wrong with your memory?

And here, we had the Christmas stockings here.

We all got a present each on Christmas morning. Remember?

I remember.

Too bad Christmas isn't as magical now as it was when we were kids.

We remember our childhood differently.

-Hi. -Hi.

I descended from Heaven to join the people,

to teach them to love their neighbour as they do themselves.

For if they do not, no safe haven can exist,

in Heaven or on Earth.

Nowhere will they be free from pain and despair.

-Where did you find all of that? -Up in the attic.

-Not everything... -...can be in plain sight, I know.

Shouldn't you give it a few decades before you become exactly like Mum?

Look!

-It's Koskenkorva. -I know.

-Damn it. -I told you so.

Did you like my sermon?

Was it too dark?

Can't we take a trip somewhere?

Wouldn't it be nice with a bit of sun?

Hello? What do you think?

-Did you cut your hair? -That was almost two weeks ago.

Right... It looks good.

Thanks.

-Hi, Oskar! -Hi, Jonna.

Look at your beard!

-But I come bearing no presents. -Nobody's earned any, anyway.

Fair point. Thank you.

Right. Welcome home.

Cheers!

I guess she's staying away a little longer.

Try to get her home. I'd like to see her.

-Is Cecilia coming? -Yes.

And Liv? When is she coming?

When is Liv coming? You don't know?

She must have told you. You haven't talked?

-Jonna. -I'll just...

-What? I'm allowed to ask. -Don't pressure him.

I wasn't!

She might not even...

He doesn't want to talk about it. I tried.

You tried to talk to him about his feelings?

-Is that all that matters? -It does in fact matter.

I have to make a call. Ease up, all right?

Listen...

I didn't mean to pressure you.

-Did you have a fight? -Not as far as I know.

Okay.

How are the Christmas dinners looking?

Looking? I don't know.

I can see how it looks in here. What about the rest?

Orders and staff... Have you done anything?

Do we have any reservations at all?

-Oskar? -No. I haven't exactly been myself.

The number you are trying to reach is currently unavailable.

Please try again.

The wind is really picking up.

Good, you're back. Let's talk ideas.

Right... Ideas for what?

How to make more money during the Christmas season.

-Aren't the dinners enough? -I think we should do more.

-Like activities. -Activities?

We could do a full weekend break for the overnight guests.

Maybe whisky tasting, some excursions...

Ice fishing, perhaps?

It's windy out there. The guests will freeze to death.

Good, so they'll drink more when they come back.

So the activity is to get windswept?

You know what? We should get outdoor hot tubs.

You know, for the guests to have a drink in.

-Do we have to build them? -I'm sure we can rent.

Build one if you want, but I think we can rent them.

-Sounds good. -Sounds expensive.

Please. You have to spend money to make money.

But who is doing the spending? And what is there to spend?

-Have you got any money? -No.

How about you? Didn't think so.

Please, think outside the box for once. You'll get all of it back.

I wish I could "think outside the box".

I wish I could make all your plans happen, but I have no money.

We'll do the sums and see how far we get.

-I might be able to get some. -How?

-If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. -And if it does, it does.

Things never work out the way you want. That's what I've learned.

To be honest, I'm surprised you even came back here.

Why?

I wasn't sure if you'd forgive me.

There is nothing to forgive. Don't think like that.

I thought this was my punishment, ending up alone out here.

Left here on my own.

I need a smoke.

Is there forgiveness to be had for patricide?

Will I ever be free of the guilt?

Can I have one?

-I thought you quit. -I did.

Odd that Liv hasn't been in touch.

Have you spoken to Liv?

No...

-Lasse? Have you spoken...? -No, I haven't spoken to her.

Oskar? I need you.

Come on.

-Where did you go? -To check on the boat.

Maybe it doesn't seem like it...

But I'm really glad you two are here.

Me too.

I saw you.

At Midsummer. I saw you kissing.

-It meant nothing. It was just... -...unfinished business?

Something like that.

Was that it? Did anything else happen?

That was it. Just one kiss.

Nothing else happened.

I know that it isn't up to me,

but I hope we can put it behind us.

-I broke you two up first. -That's ancient history now.

-Now she doesn't want either of us. -No.

That's her loss.

ALMOST THERE. STRONG WIND. READY?

Who do you keep texting?

What was that?

-What the hell is going on? -We'll have to ride the storm out.

No! Damn it.

-Have we got torches? -I'll check.

-I wonder if it's just our house. -Here.

-The power is down everywhere. -Yeah...

What's that?

A flare.

What should we do?

-Where are you going? -To the boat!

-Nothing. -I can't get a signal either.

-How about the emergency number? -It should still work.

It doesn't. We have to do something. We have to help.

What is he playing at?

Is he crazy? What is he playing at? I can't see a thing.

Mischa!

Mischa!

Mischa?

What the...

Mischa!

Damn it, Lasse...

Mischa!

Mischa!

-Did you get through? -No, no signal.

-Nothing? -I can't get a signal...

What the hell?
