I'm the happiest man on earth because I'm going to marry you.

What are you doing?!

I know there's a life outside but I can't live it with you, Peter.

Calle... Lotte is dead.

Don't go! - Lelle, I'm with you.

What's this? - A little pick-me-up.

Is it dangerous? - No.

The club is my idea, I created it!

Don't think you can make a living out of it, it's not even enough for your brothers.

Time to go home, Peter.

Sign here, Peter.

I wish I could believe you. - You can, give me another chance.

4 YEARS LATER. OCTOBER 1950.

Hey! - Hi, we're in the living room.

There you are!

Mommy! - Hi, sweetie!

Shall I make coffee? - Yes, thanks.

Will you help me in the kitchen, Christina?

HOME WITH THE REHNSKJOLD FAMILY

Wanna see something nice?

Who's that? - Mom!

Yes and that is you.

This is daddy. - Yes, it's daddy.

You want some? No?

Come on, Lelle, it's late! - Stop calling me Lelle!

Come on, there's a line to get a job in the DK.

Come on... no!

Let me see... you got a stain on your shirt!

Will you stop calling me Lelle?!

What's the matter with him? - He's a teenager...

When I was 13, I was washing dishes. - He's gonna be alright, I almost envy him.

I miss Ethel and the girls. - They'd need you, we're booked up till Christmas.

Really? - I can't find it.

Come with me.

He's ready now. - Ok, let's go.

Hey, take care of mom. - Bye.

EPISODE 9 - THE HOUSEWIFE -

Maggan! - Hi.

Morning. - Morning.

What's this? Take it!

Cut it out!

We're just having fun. . Who's having fun exactly?

Bitch... - What did you say?

Let it go.

You better know your place!

Come to me if it happens again.

5 more minutes! - Sorry, I can't. Gotta go back at the office.

Can I use your shower? - Yes, just lock the door when you go.

Generaless, nice to see you. - My pleasure, Director.

I'm out on leave. - On leave...?

The General is sick, I've been by his bed night and day.

Sorry to hear that, I hope he'll be better soon.

It's a matter of days before pneumonia takes him.

I'm sorry, the General is a good man. - He's always liked you... as well as I have.

I'm still a woman, with all my life ahead of me...

This might be a new beginning. - I'm sure suitors are lining up.

You'll always come first.

I hope everything will be of your liking. - As usual... and I already know what I want for dessert.

SWÄRD LAW FIRM

You got the revised Berglund file? - Yes.

Bottom of the page.

Good, can you send it to Berglund?

Still working hard here? Hello, Peter. - Hello, Mrs. Swärd.

Shall we go? - Now?

The table is for 7 pm. - I lost track of time.

You got plans for the weekend, Peter? - A meeting with my brother but I can postpone.

No way, let's finish up so we'll have the weekend free.

I'll help you. - Will you?

It only takes a rewriting. - Thanks, dear.

Don't let him wear you out. - No.

Not everyone likes to work on weekends.

I don't mind hard work. - Don't forget to unwind sometimes.

3 more minutes and I'm going. - It's Saturday, are you working weekends too?

We're very busy at the office.

You'll never meet someone if you're always working. - Mom, stop it.

It's been 4 years, Peter, you gotta move on.

What if I already met someone? - Is that so?

Good morning. - About time!

I didn't know I had to punch in. Where's Nina?

She barely shows up lately. - What did you want?

As you know, the restaurant is going great so I thought it was time to grow.

Voilà!

Where is this? - Right here on Drottninggatan.

Ah, yes... in the Klara district.

The best location, right by Hotel De Suede and Hotel Regina.

There's not enough room for the journalists at Tysta Marie and Tennstopet.

What is it?

"Norrmalm Upgrading"... does it ring a bell? - Yes, I'm not stupid.

Then you'll know it's all going to be demolished. - We're doing ourselves what the bombs did in the rest of Europe.

It's not yet decided whether they'll tear it down. - They'll get there.

You really think they're gonna move the premises of every newspaper in town?

As a matter of facts, the City is expropriating properties in all of Norrmalm.

I say no. - I don't need your approval.

The restaurant is also mine so you do. - Mom?

I do like Drottninggatan...

...but I'm not sure, Gustaf.

They're giving it away, what if it'll be demolished in 10 years?

You wanna manage a restaurant beside a construction site?

Are you still in business law or are you back into catering?

Absolutely not. I gotta go now, business law is waiting.

Shouldn't he be at school? - Yes, well... he's been difficult lately.

Buddies before school.

Sonja's having a hard time looking after both. - A few weeks with Sticken and he'll love school.

Let's hope so!

Why are you chopping carrots when we're almost out of onions instead?

I'll do it right away, Chef.

Don't expect favors just because your brother works in the kitchen.

No, no, no!

You gotta sharpen your knives, you won't even cut butter with this one!

I'll ask Ethel to have a look... - You won't! Tech your brother instead!

Sorry. - No problem, I'll give you one of my knives.

Then I'll teach you how to sharpen one.

Where does he think you are? - Playing Bridge with my girlfriends.

Bridge? You? - Gotta fill up my days somehow, don't I?

Henrik has only time for his work. - You should be happy business is going well.

I am... if he wasn't so busy, we couldn't see each other this much.

What would you like to do, if you could pick anything?

Study economy.

Why don't you do it? - Because Henrik wants a housewife.

Isn't what all men want? - I wouldn't know.

Why aren't you married? I bet women are lining up for you.

I've been engaged once.

And...?

Some other time.

Cream cake? - The shop ran out of whipped cream in no time.

No wonder... it's been missing since before the war.

Where are you going? - To the club. - On Saturday?

I got French customers. - You've been away all week.

It's about business, you'd get bored.

Maybe another time.

You can invite some of your girlfriends over. - Of course.

Chef, are you ok?

Chef!

Ethel, come here!

He's burning!

Call an ambulance, quick!

Lennart... it's not your fault. - He wants no help, that's how he is.

Stubborn as a mule.

No point in staying here... listen, everyone! We got plenty to do, back to your job!

Look at us... stuffing ourselves with cake and Champagne!

Home on Saturday, instead of being at the DK.

Why don't we go sometime? Just for old times' sake.

Erik doesn't want me to go out alone.

I heard Charlie Parker will play at the DK. - Charlie Parker? Really?

Sture tried to get a table but it was already booked up.

Sure they'll find you a table if you ask. - I don't know, I haven't been there in a while...

Then it's time to go back, come on, Nina!

Charlie "Bird" Parker is playing... - Please!

Alright but I'm not promising anything. - Cheers!

I'd like to discuss the work environment, it's not safe for women.

It's not safe for anyone. - Yes, I know...

...but it's even worse for women. Locker rooms are often communal and that is a problem.

Not for me...

The problem is women are being watched while they change.

Then we go out and customers slap us on the bottom, it's not funny.

Take it as a compliment, you got a bottom that's worth slapping.

This is not an argument we can bring to the commission.

But you can bring up the locker rooms situation, right? - We'll talk about it.

Let's move on...

They always have something more important to discuss, those idiots!

It's good you're angry, anger shakes things up.

I don't know if I can go on, they never listen to me!

I'm wasting time at those meetings when I could stay home with Uno!

Why don't you speak to the woman who brought you in?

What was her name? - Ursula.

She'll be on your side. - She's in a different association now.

She's dealing with pubs and it's even worse. - I don't know...

My friend Viveka works in a pub in Gamla Stan and she's happy with that.

Before she was at the Anglais, apparently it was hell. - Why?

The maitre was taking some liberties.

If you didn't complain, you'd get more tables. - What if you did complain?

You'd get no tables at all, it's true!

And the Union? - She spoke with them, they did nothing.

So her and other three girls decided to quit.

We need you, Maggan.

Don't give up.

He went into septic shock.

Blood poisoning.

Is he gonna be fine? - The situation is critical.

Type this as soon as you can.

Get this to Haglunds before 5 pm.

What's this? - DK papers.

I thought you were no longer interested in the restaurant. - I'm not...

But my brother wants to invest and I don't want him to throw away money that's also mine.

Drottninggatan? That doesn't sound wise.

Talk to Janssen from real estate, he might have some insights.

I have an appointment tomorrow. - Good. You have time for lunch?

How long have you been with us? - Two years, if you count the internship.

We had many collaborators but none of your skills.

Thanks, glad to know that.

We never had so many clients and it's also thanks of you.

I wanna ask you a question: would you be interested in becoming a partner?

Excuse me? - "Swärd and Löwander Law Firm".

Are you serious? - Other firms will be after you, but you're building something here.

Of course I'm interested, thanks for your trust.

Let's celebrate. - Of course!

Roos! - Mr. Löwander, counselor Swärd.

A bottle of Cristal. - Right away.

Congratulations on your agreement. - Maybe the best I've ever made.

Cheers. - Cheers.

What do you think of Ester? - Mrs. Swärd? What you mean?

You've known her for a while now, doesn't she seem different to you? Absent?

I couldn't say.

She use to light up when I got home while now she's rather indifferent.

You work a lot, Henrik. - She knew that when we got married.

I think she's seeing someone else.

What makes you think that? - It's just a hunch.

I don't know what to say. - I didn't mean to involve you but I don't know who to talk to.

Maybe it's just my imagination running wild.

She'd probably like to come before your job.

I guess you're right.

A drink? - Whisky.

You're beautiful. - Thank you.

Five women out by themselves, what will people think?

You're so old-fashioned, no one minds that at the DK.

Perhaps I should come too. - Are you a little jealous, darling?

I think we'll manage by ourselves. Gotta go now.

Be careful. - I will.

I mean it...

Easy with the doors, that's my car!

It's so good to have you here! - Thanks.

Follow me.

Is this table ok? - Yes...

It's right in the personnel's way but it's gonna be fine.

What about this one? - That would be perfect, thanks.

It's amazing you could get Charlie Parker. - I got to know him when I was in New York.

So you just called him up? - I knew he was gonna come to Sweden on a tour.

Champagne? - Yes, thanks!

What is it? - Don't she seem a bit too obsequious?

Berit? - Yes.

No? Ok...

Move it, we're packed already!

Two porterhouse steaks and a plaice for table 10!

We're having another one, aren't we? - Another one?

Lilly, one more bottle. - Right away.

Is Calle working tonight? - Yes.

Then tell him everything was delicious.

In fact, call him up and I'll tell him myself.

Just tell him it was all great. - No, call him up, I wanna tell him!

Is it really necessary? - Come on, don't you remember we used to joke around with Calle?

I remember other things too.

Pancakes ready!

Calle, they ask for you at the Club. - Something wrong?

They wanna thank you for the great dinner. - I can't go now.

It's Mrs. Rehnskiöld... Nina.

No way!

Where's Calle? - He can't leave the kitchen now but he says thank you.

He's still afraid of Backe? - Backe is sick, Calle is the Chef now.

Calle is the Chef...?

I'll do it. - Leave it alone now.

I gotta go to the bathroom.

How long for the diced meat and potatoes?

Ready!

Two herrings!

Four filets!

Herrings ready!

Nina, wait!

I wanted to thank you for the dinner... but I see you're very busy.

Yes, I couldn't leave right now.

So you're the Senior Chef now. - Temporarily.

I don't wanna disturb, I'll leave you to it.

The can survive a few minutes without me. I take 5 minutes!

Thanks.

You look good. - I am good... great, actually.

I saw you on the magazine, nice house. - Thanks.

Where is it? - Djursholm.

It's beautiful out there, with all the nature and the sea... we're happy.

How is...? - Sonja.

Good... she's home with our son, Björn.

Do you still live in Sibirien? - No, we moved.

They gave us an apartment in Gubbängen, we also have a subway station.

Handy.

I'm driving a car now. - Really?

It's nice to be able to drive by myself, I got my license last spring.

Calle? - I'm coming.

I gotta go back now.

My friends must be wondering where I am.

Bye. - Bye.

Bye, Ethel. - Bye.

Nina?

What are you doing? - I'm trying to open the door.

Aren't you gonna drive yourself, are you? - Sure I am!

No you're not... you're drunk. - I'm not... look how I walk straight.

Give me the keys. - No.

Nina... - I need the car tomorrow morning.

I'll get you a taxi. - I told you I need the car tomorrow!

Ok, hop in... I'll drive you.

Where is she? - In the car, I couldn't let her drive.

Come on, time to go to bed. - Let go of me!

Keep your voice down. - Mrs. Rehnskiöld is back!

The keys.

What's he doing here? - I don't wanna talk to you!

So it's just a coincidence that it was Calle who brought you home.

Nothing happened, if that's what you think. - I don't know what to think.

I don't even care what you think.

You drank too much already, go to bed. - You can't decide for me.

Stop acting like a baby! - I do what I want and I want a drink!

Enough now. - What are you doing?

You care more for these bottles than for us. - What "us"? Don't do it! No!

I hate you! I hate being locked inside this house!

I can't take anymore of this.

We'll talk about it tomorrow.

Excuse me, where's Stig? Where's Mr. Backe?

He was here yesterday! - Calm down, Mrs. Löwander.

He stabilized so we moved him to a different ward.

He'll be fine then? - The fever went down and his blood levels are back to normal.

Thank God...

Thanks.

Forgive me.

I had too much to drink last night. - It wasn't the first time.

I know... it won't happen again.

Sure? - Sure... for you and for Christina.

And for yourself. - Yes, that too.

I love you and I don't want you to feel like a prisoner.

I don't.

I'll see you tonight.

Henrik's been strange lately, it's like he suspects something.

I almost couldn't come today, suddenly he wants to be with me all the time.

He thinks you have a lover. - Did he tell you that?

Yes.

A very awkward conversation.

You're joking?! - No.

He also asked me to become a partner, "Swärd and Löwander."

What you mean "partner"?

We can't keep this up. - You're dumping me now?!

It's the best thing to do. - No!

You can't throw me out like an old rag! - I'm not throwing you out.

You're married.

Yes, with your new partner.

And that makes it way more complicated.

Good morning... how long have you been here?

I just got here... I was only a bit tired, that's all.

The nurse said you've been here for hours, way beyond the visiting time.

How you're feeling?

I know what you wanna hear. - Then say it.

As I deserve... - Don't ever do it again.

I promise.

Come on, help me up. - It's out of the question.

You're looking at weeks of resting. - Weeks?! I gotta go back to my kitchen!

Believe it or not, the world goes on even without you.

The kitchen is doing great, Calle rose to the occasion.

Calle?! It's too much responsibility for that little snot!

Help me out of this bed! - You gonna have to do it by yourself.

Unless you want me to be your crutch in the kitchen too.

I thought so.

Salmon, table 9! - Thanks.

Your attention, please!

If anyone's wondering how Chef Backe is doing, I can tell you he's much better.

Thank God.

You took over his duties, didn't you Calle? - Yes, Director.

We thank you for taking on all the work as well as the responsibilities.

He did a very good job.

Backe is gonna be away for a long while, we need a permanent solution.

I'll keep you informed.

Its gonna be you. - I doubt it.

Who else could it be?

I did some research and many properties in Drottninggatan are going to be expropriated.

In plain words...? - The city will keep on expropriating and tearing down buildings.

We can't invest in a restaurant knowing that it'll be demolished.

I have another idea though.

What is it? - The Operakällaren.

Operakällaren? - Yes, it's in rough waters right now.

If we make an offer, we can have it at a good price.

It sounds interesting! - Operakällaren?

Will you think about it? - Yes, I definitely will.

Sorry I'm late... did you get that deal with the Americans?

I trusted you.

What happened?

I followed her... I wanted to see if she was meeting with someone.

Henrik...

Damn you!

I thought you were a friend, I was gonna make you an associate.

Get your stuff and get out.

We could... - Out!

I'm sorry, Peter. - We've been awful to him... we deserve this.

I don't have...

Can I... - You can stay here.

Sadly, Swedish women over 35 are getting overweight.

Hi. - They also work too much.

Hi, Björn!

No! That my favorite program!

You gotta listen to this.

A new record? Can we afford it?

The Director gave me a bonus. - And you used it to buy a record?

# I can't open up my cocoanut, I tried in every way. #

# I hit it with my little axe again and again... #

What is it? You seem upset.

Where were you yesterday? - At work.

Are you seeing her again? - Who?

Nina. - No, what makes you say that?

Your coat smelled like perfume, are you seeing another woman?

I just met her at the restaurant.

You got home at 3 in the morning and Ethel saw you leaving together.

Nothing happened, she was so drunk she could barely stand.

I drove her home in her car and then I walked back here.

You should have told me. - Yes, I should have. Sorry.

Don't do it again, please.

Thanks, Gerd.

They got us some cod, we're gonna marinate it and serve it with radish.

Morning. - Morning, Director.

So... I have the ideal candidate to replace Chef Backe during his recovery.

Someone precise, honest and who knows what Backe would want.

You may remember Holger, he'll take care of the kitchen impeccably.

You wanna say something? - It's nice to be back, I have great memories.

It's a pleasure to work here again. - Welcome back.

Hurry up! Still 4 to go!

Going out now!

We have a new Chef... remember Holger? - Are you kidding? Backe cannot agree with that!

I don't think Backe knows anything about it. - I'm sorry, Calle.

It's just for now, Backe will come back soon.

Hey, this is the Chef's department! - Gotta go now, see you later.

I needed to make a phone call.

This is my kitchen now, got it? - Yes, Chef.

Pass it around.

Good, thanks.

I declare the meeting open.

Are you sure this is the right agenda? - Yes.

I don't see anything about work safety for female personnel.

We discussed it already. - We only postponed it, I'd like it to be added.

We already have a long list of topics. - This is an important matter for the members.

Well... for female members. - Thanks, Maggan.

Next topic will be the management election.

You'll find the candidates' names inside annex No. 1.

Anyone would like to add some other name?

No? Put it on record.

Yes.

I name myself for the role of president.

Keep playing, mom will be back soon.

Good morning. - Hi.

Have you thought about my idea? - Yes.

So... shall we make 'em an offer?

No. - No... you turn down the deal of the century... as you like.

What did you wanna talk about? - The Djurgårdskällaren.

You and me. - You and me?

I'm the Director and I decide.

I don't want you to set foot in here anymore. - The restaurant is also mine, I'm gonna set both feet in here.

Actually not. - What you mean?

I didn't wanna do it but you're forcing me to.

Is this your signature? - What's that?

Is it your signature or not?

Yes... what is that?

It's a contract in which you cede your half of the restaurant to me.

I never signed any contract! Why the hell would I give you my half?

You just admitted it's your signature. - Let me see that.

Let me see! - So you can rip it?

I wanna see it! - I'll get you a copy.

You are insane.

I never signed any contract.

When would I have signed it? - October 1946.

October 1946...

It was when Suzanne left me.

What have you done, Gustaf?

What the fuck have you done?!

I'll never stand for this, do you understand?!

I promise you're gonna pay for this.

Mom?

Close the window!
