Hey!

See? Not the slightest problem.

I'm thinking of "Treasure Island". - Long John Silver! That's right!

You should carry a parrot on your shoulder. - You can't be serious.

We just don't want you to stumble.

I'm well steady on my foot! - But now Nina's acting as Maitre.

If you want. - Of course.

Sure, I don't mind at all.

How fast you were!

Is that the place? - Exactly.

It's beautiful!

Where are you going? - To say hello to Ethel.

But we're going bathing... - It'll take a minute. Come on.

Hi. - Hi!

He is Stickan. - Can I bother you a second?

Backe, what's today's fish? - Turbot, butter sauce and rum trout.

Thank you.

How are you? - The usual aches and pains.

EPISODE 2

- MIDSUMMER -

More? - Yes, more sand!

Shall we turn it around? - Calle, coffee's ready!

Breakfast is ready. - I wanna finish the castle!

He still wants to play. - Ok.

What have you brought?

I saw Nina in the kitchen. - So good...

Is she working? I thought she was sick. - She's not here to work.

They have a summer house here, so...

Bellan hurt his foot and she's helping around.

So Bellan cannot work? - I don't think so.

Have you talked to her? - No, she lives on the other side of the island.

She'll reach her husband in Skåne this next fall.

So you did talk to her.

Just a few words of courtesy.

Did you bring the map for the holidays?

It's in the basket. - Good.

I thought we could go to Helsingborg and...

...sleep in Småland on the way there.

Björn, are you coming? Come on!

Seems fine to me.

It's clogged somewhere. - It doesn't look like.

I'm telling you the water's not coming. Easily fixed with a garden hose.

It's your responsibility, Rundström. - Yes but it's nothing urgent...

Fix it before tomorrow or I'm not paying a penny.

But you still have to pay... - You didn't fix the drain, the power or the ceiling hole!

Maybe it's too hard for you. - Yes I admit I've been a little careless...

I don't wanna discuss it now. - But I want you to know...

...my son had a terrible accident at the Uppsala Academy!

He broke his back in the army.

They were shooting cannons and the wheels weren't fixed...

The kickback of a cannon is terrible so...

He pushed away a boy to save him and the thing hit him...

Doctors say he's never gonna walk again.

I'm very sorry... - The economic compensation is not nearly enough.

So if you could just pay half the rent now, I'll find a plumber tomorrow.

There have been some ups and downs.

This is 200 but I want the plumber tomorrow. - No later than tomorrow!

Let's shake hands, it's important to me.

Don't leave that open. - Absolutely not!

Everything ok?

Welcome! - Thanks.

You got a reservation? - No. We're 4.

No problem. Please, follow me.

Here.

Here's the menus. Someone will be right here for you.

Welcome. Shall we start with drinks? - If it's ok, we'd like Eivor to serve us.

I'm sorry but she has other tables today. I can help you just the same.

I can take this too. - That's ok, I take it.

Thank you, Eivor.

So... what will you have for drinks?

Hey. - Hey.

You left your family alone? - Yes... they love it here.

I'm sure. Erik and Christina are coming after midsummer.

That's great. Take them to the beach, you'll have fun.

I'm not gonna do that.

Will you spend midsummer here? - No, I'm leaving after lunch.

We're going to Skansen. - Good idea.

I'll take Christina around Stockholm since she's here.

Then we're off to Skåne. I won't be around too often.

No...

See you. - See you.

It would be nice to go to Skansen after midsummer.

I think Christina will love it.

Sure but we have a little problem. - What is it?

There's a problem with Peregrina, our champagne distributor.

I have to go to Paris. - No you can't...

I can't fix it otherwise. - But you promised me!

I have to see Christina. I'm going over there by train.

I don't think it's a good idea.

Is it because of your mother? - It's not that.

We're coming the second week of July. Both me and Christina.

Happy midsummer.

Thank you.

Tastes like summer... - Yes.

They're going bathing every day after work.

We used to do the same in that hot summer... 1922 or 1923...

We had plenty of hot summers.

I mean the weather, of course...

Shall we go dancing in Enevik for midsummer? - Not me but you can go.

But you loved to dance. - That was before.

Maybe I can convince you.

He gives Beppo some chocolate but the next day they fall ill.

Kalle Blomqvist said the chocolate was poisoned.

What you think? Not bad, huh? - No... then Kalle Blomqvist finds out that...

Uno, stop spoiling the book for Mrs. Löwander, maybe she wants to read it herself.

But it's a kids' book, she's not going to read that.

Would you like to become a detective yourself?

That or a policeman. I haven't decided yet.

I think I got something for you. - What is it?

You'll see.

You know how to use this? - Yes.

Then it's yours, with my compliments. - Really? Thank you.

In exchange, I want you to keep your eye on the restaurant and report anything strange directly to me.

With pleasure. Thanks. - Good.

Today is midsummer therefore we'll be open for lunch.

Yes... for everybody...

Today we're open for lunch but closed for dinner so we can celebrate midsummer together.

I hope you'll be joining.

Food and drinks will be served at lower prices. Happy midsummer.

Excuse me... the drain problem... has it been fixed? - No, that problem still remains.

You'll keep using the outside toilet. The one inside is for the guests.

Good. Back to work.

Svensson, it's for you.

Thanks. Hello? - It's me. Wrong time?

Not at all. What's going on? - Björn got sick.

He's got fever and some spots. - Is it chicken-pox?

I don't know, they're not all over his body.

It's a shame. - Yes. You want to come over anyway?

I don't know... you think it could be chicken-pox?

Maybe, I don't know. Have you already had chicken-pox?

I think not.

Then I think it's best if you stay on the island.

I think too... but it's a nuisance.

Although if you don't sleep in the same room...

I wouldn't wanna infect all the others.

Yes? I have to go now, Sonja. - Listen...

Behave tonight. - Of course. I'll call you tomorrow, bye.

Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, if I may interrupt you for a second...

When we owned the restaurant before the war my father, Johan Löwander,

at 12 o'clock on midsummer used to make the whole room sing "When the pike plays around in the reeds".

So I think we should do the same.

Splendid! Happy midsummer, everybody!

Hey, remember me?

Odd! Long time no see! - Indeed.

You've grown up! I'm glad you opened again.

Did you buy the place? - No, we rent it from Hilding Rundström.

How's it working? - Let's not discuss unpleasant things now...

I was involved with him myself.

Have you heard about his son? - No...

A rotten apple himself.

He and his buddies stole an army truck...

...and drove it to Borås to have a good time.

On the way back they ended up in a ditch and from there in a prison.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... - No... it was good seeing you, Odd.

Likewise. - Enjoy your lunch.

Are you staying tonight? - No, I'm busy elsewhere.

You're going to town? - No, I'm seeing Alexander.

The boy you so wanted to serve today.

I know you think it's none of my business and you're right, but...

...I just want to tell you to be careful who you hang out with.

I've been through that myself.

I met someone when I was 20... I trusted him and...

...I ended up alone with a kid.

I had to raise Uno by myself with my means of subsistence...

Alexander is not like that. - No, I'm sure...

...but you're so young and it's so tough... - You know nothing about me or Alexander.

I know you a little... you're cheerful, determined, good with the guests...

I also know you a little... in fact I know everything about you, Maggan!

So stay out of my life!

Don't you try some of my pate? - No, thanks.

Ok, you're excused.

Mrs. Rehnskjöld! Here! - I can't take your seat...

It's my pleasure. - Where will you sit?

I'll find me another place. - Thank you.

Hi. - Hi.

Shouldn't you be with your family? - Björn got chicken-pox.

Poor boy... what a shame. - Yes it is.

Are Erik and Christina coming? - No, there's been a bit of a setback.

They'll come in two weeks.

We're not having the midsummer we had planned.

Let's try to have fun anyway.

Yes... I'll do without this.

Bravo!

Dear friends, happy midsummer! - Happy midsummer!

Where will you go? - To Haverdal, just out of Halmstad.

The Union have some houses there. - Isn't it nice, Uno?

Uno, Ethel asked you a question. - Are you happy you're going to Haverdal?

Uno... have you seen something suspicious? - Yes, I think those two are in love.

Put that away now. - I'm the detective, not you!

I heard you have to use the outside toilet.

Not a problem, it's like going back to my childhood.

Don't you remember about that? - I wasn't focused on the toilet at that time.

We had an outside toilet at our summer house too. - I thought you came from a wealthy family!

Once some wasps nested in the... hole. - Ouch!

They didn't touch me... mom got the worst of it.

That day I've learned a bunch of new curse words.

May I?

Some crowd. - Yes.

Maybe you'd like to... - Let's dance, Calle!

May I? - Yes, thanks.

I wish Sonja was here, she loves to dance.

I remember that time in the back garden when you danced all night.

You're a very well-matched couple.

Backe! - Begtsson! Hi!

I didn't know you were a dancer. - One must stay in shape for the ladies.

Calle, this is Bengtsson, our fish supplier. That's Calle Svensson.

The best I've ever cooked. - You'd like a drink?

Sure.

Look at this beauty!

Delicious!

Come to dinner some time. - That ain't for me.

Why not? All men must eat! - I've never set foot in a restaurant.

Cheers!

Have you ever even seen the restaurant? You've been selling us fish for 20 years!

Isn't that enough? - You could get back with a nice steak.

No... "different strokes for different folks".

So you think me and Calle are the "same folks"?

I don't know him, but... I know you fairly well.

I remember what was it like... with Mrs. Löwander and Mr. Backe here...

Can I have another?

Try not to stagger while you dance. - I'd make a poor figure.

Nina, we have a ride back. There's room for you.

You go ahead. - But it's late and there's nothing to do here.

Mom, I'm almost 25, I don't need a nanny!

I'm responsible for you! - I'll be right behind you.

Mrs. Lowander, are you coming? - Yes.

Bye!

Annika, have you seen Helga? - I think she went home.

She went home? - She went back with Ethel.

Thanks for the dance. - Thank you.

I remember you from when I was little.

I was a bit scared of you. - I understand that.

Your brothers were some troublemakers. - I can second that.

But you never caused any trouble. - No... I was an angel when I was a kid.

Nina, we're about to go back.

Sure. Goodnight, Bengtsson. - No, no... it cannot end like this.

Miss Löwander deserves a real partner, it's still midsummer!

Go dance! No need to thank old Bengtsson.

Goodnight.

I... - I...

You go. - No, you start.

It's really nothing special. - Tell me.

It's kinda silly... I dreamed about you.

What was the dream about?

Well...

It's weird... it's about me...

I'm drowning in my dream and...

It feels fine... it feels right.

But then... you arrive...

...and you take my hand...

...and I don't wanna die anymore.

'Cause that would mean I'll never see you again.

That's no dream...

I stood by your hospital bed and I told you...

...that you couldn't die otherwise my life would have been meaningless...

...and then I took your hand.

I held it and...

...you held mine.

Then I said...

I'm sorry...

Forgive me...

Stig?

Stig, are you awake?

I have to talk to you.

What's so urgent? - Did you stay late last night?

What in the name...! - Get out if you're so sensitive.

Put that back now!

I'm worried about Nina. She came back late and...

What did she do after I left?

Ask her. - She's sleeping! Can you answer?!

I was sleeping too. This ain't no way to break into someone's bedroom.

I'm so worried. - Yesterday you left without even telling me.

I was tired, my feet were hurting and you went drinking with Bengtsson!

One little drink in his cabin!

I couldn't refuse, I buy our fish from him! - Don't use that tone, it's rude and gross.

You would fit on Begtsson's boat. - Says the "lady"...

What you mean... - Like yesterday...

"Just a little glass for me, a spoon"... so damn polite.

You could chug down a pint in 30 seconds back when we were having it off!

"Having it off"? - Having fun... having fun...

I'm asking you again to stop using that tone.

Fine, I'll stop it.

By the way, I came to keep an eye on Nina and not to dance so don't get any ideas!

Hello? Nina?

Nina?

I have to tell you something...

That I haven't...

He's got spots all over his body. It was chicken-pox.

You were right to stay there. Did you have fun?

Yes, it was... well, it wasn't...

Ethel says hello. - What does she say?

Nothing, just hello. - Return it.

I will. - Next time I'll be coming with Björn.

If you're still there. - Of course.

It would be nice. - I think we'll do it again.

Director! How's everything? - Good, thanks.

Glad to hear that! - Glad you could come.

I always have time for you. I'm glad we could fix everything before midsummer.

Sometimes drains get clogged and then they unclog by themselves.

I'm also glad you want to talk about future projects.

This place has so much potential. - Indeed.

Old wooden places like this have an atmosphere... really hard to beat.

So true. - The only downside is the constant risk of a fire.

It could burn down in a few minutes in case of an accident.

Let's hope not. - No...

It's helpful to have insurance so you don't lose everything in case of accident.

Although it could be an interesting economic outlook... for the both of us.

If you were willing to take this step... - I don't know what you're talking about, Rundström.

Nothing? Then maybe you're not interested...

It would be a shame if something happened, of course...

I wanna talk to you about the future. The near future... like the next two hours.

Yes...? - The drain is still clogged.

But you said it was working... - Yes, I lied.

That's not fair...

I think there's been a misunderstanding...

Yes, you said your son was paralyzed while he's actually in prison.

What I meant was... he can no longer walk... free.

He's... blocked... - Rundström... you're nothing but a crook.

No!

Now! You heard that? - I heard nothing.

Why are you leaving so suddenly?

What came up so urgent?

'Cause I have to be with my family.

What does Erik say? - I didn't talk to him. He'll pick me up on his way back from Paris.

You can spend a few nights alone at home but I'm asking you to reconsider it.

What's the problem if I wanna go to Skåne? - There is no problem...

I just wish we could stick to the original plan.

That was your and Erik's plan, not mine.

What really happened yesterday? - Nothing! Out!

Good morning. I see you've been working late.

Your foot must be better since you've danced all night.

Ethel is saying very silly things.

Looks like we'll have to do without Mrs. Rehnskjöld from now on.

She and Mrs. Löwander are going back to town.

Won't they come back? - They packed everything up.

But I know nothing and I have said nothing...

Ouch! Dammit!
