Original subtitles

Come in, Erik. - Thank you.

Hi. - Hi.

Thanks for coming this early. - Of course.

Come. Did you have a good trip? - Very good.

It's a shame you couldn't come for midsummer. Christina would have loved the boat trip and all the rest.

We should have come the second week of July but I couldn't make it.

We'll come next summer if you still have the restaurant.

Where is it exactly? In Utö? - The restaurant?

Gällnö... the Gällnö Inn.

Gällnö?

But it's on the other side of the island from our summer house.

You didn't tell me. - I should have told you before midsummer...

...but then you haven't come and I didn't take it very well...

I've also worked a bit around the restaurant. I'm sorry, I should have told you...

You were supposed to rest. - But I was fine so... sorry...

I understand you're upset, Erik,

but on the bright side, Nina could handle herself very well and everything went fine.

That means she's recovered.

Who else was working there? - The usual staff. We're closed here, we're renovating.

Was Calle Svensson there? - Erik, please.

EPISODE 3

- LATE SUMMER -

Tell me, Ethel... were they together?

What? - Calle and Mrs. Rehnskjöld... they used to be a couple?

How dare you?! - Everyone saw them together at the midsummer dance...

Please, no gossip. - Sure... they say she broke the engagement...

Good morning. - Well, hello!

Taste this.

It's sour! - It's no sour, it's sweeter than ever!

Let's see...

Yes... the day has come.

Day? - The day...

We take three perches and a cod. - You've been selected to join the...

Wait, a pikeperch too! - You know the Kaparordern, don't you?

Yes, I know a couple of things about it.

I don't know why they waited so long. - Shouldn't I be connected to the Island somehow?

Of course! You're the chef of the Island's best restaurant!

At first I wanted to nominate Mr. Löwander, the director, but...

...but then I realized it's Mr. Backe who's really getting the job done.

The captain of the ship... - I understand but I'm very busy now.

It's very hard to get chosen.

It happens to few... almost nobody... - No, sorry.

I know you didn't wanna talk in front of mom but can we talk now?

Hey...

Erik, please...

Say something... what's on your mind? - I have so many questions.

Ok, ask me then. - I don't know anymore.

What you mean? - I don't know if you're sincere.

I thought it would have gone differently.

It's different... I'm different! - No, you're just like before.

I'm not as I was before. Don't say that.

I should have told you I was working. I know and I'm sorry.

It's not like...

I was working, I wasn't drinking.

You should accept. - I don't wanna be Rundström's "buddy".

It won't hurt you to be involved in the island's life. Johan was.

I know... what is it you wanted?

Who was still in Enevik after you came home? Aside from Nina and Calle.

A whole lot of people. - From our staff?

The sous-chef, Frank... - Maltebo.

A few others... the one who works with Ethel... - Annika.

Are you still playing Sherlock Holmes??

Hey!

I missed you so much!

You look tired. - I'm fine.

Welcome. - It's nice to be here.

Leave it. Will you take those?

It's a bit empty now, but we'll...

It's lovely. - Yes.

Also my old record player.

I love it. - Good.

Come to mommy!

You found a beautiful place.

Look at the view! Maybe we could go bathing, what do you say?

Is that my bed? It's yours...

Well... I didn't stay the whole night...

I see... who was still there when you left?

I couldn't say, Mrs. Löwander. - I understand but maybe you saw someone.

Yes.

Was it Mrs. Rehnskjöld by any chance? - On the platform? Yes, it was her...

She was there... - Yes, Mrs. Löwander.

Have you also seen chef Svensson? - Yes, they were dancing...

It was midsummer, everyone was dancing... them too...

Dancing... normally...

They weren't acting weird at all... I wasn't surprised to see them...

That's all I've seen. - Thank you, Annika. You can go back to work.

Thank you.

Good morning. - Good morning.

Can I have a cup of coffee? - Of course.

Will you help yourself or shall I call Karen? - I'll help myself, thank you.

Has Erik already left? - Yes, he's in Copenhagen today.

The sky is clearing, it will be a lovely day.

I've slept very well in that bedroom. - Nina, we don't have to be talking the whole time.

Sorry to bother you.

I'm sure you didn't want to be here and by God, I didn't want it either...

...but this is how it is so let's try to make it the least unpleasant possible.

Right.

Have you caught anything?

Hi. - Hi.

What... look at this!

How many fishes! - She also caught a frog.

You caught a froggy? - She was pretty.

Look, a boat! Shall we sail it?

Did you see dad this morning? - Yes, we have breakfast together before Erik goes to work.

Sorry... I mean Mr. Rehnskjöld. - Of course.

Ok, Christina, it's almost lunchtime for us.

You're soaked, we have to change first.

Stensson... if an accident happened at the restaurant, like a fire,

What kind of checks an insurance company would do?

It depends from various factors... why do you ask?

'Cause when the restaurant in Stavsnäs burned... the Westlund family... it was never clear how it happened...

I bet the old man did it himself.

That would be awful. - It's a crime.

Where I come from, one would rather die than be involved in something like that.

That's why I'm interested in how an insurance company handles things like that.

That's police matter. - I wouldn't wanna be involved.

"66-year-old Håkansson, the 'Iron Grandpa', couldn't sign up for the Swedish Your because of his age."

"He then participated out of competition and to everyone's surprise he crossed the finish line first."

How could he beat all those athletes? - The man is cycling all the time, he doesn't even sleep!

What's the point of that? - None, he's from Skåne!

I bet he is. - Roos, the Kaparordern is waiting.

Very well.

I better get changed. Can you handle it alone?

I'd rather stay here and send you out there. - Good luck.

Rundström? - Yes.

Ceder.

"Kapar brother". - Thank you, brother.

Stensson.

Ceder, come on!

Svensson, Mrs. Löwander wants to talk to you.

Now? - Yes.

I can't, Backe is busy with those guys. - You should go, she said it's important.

Alright. Take over.

Could you close the door behind you?

Did you have a relationship with my daughter?

It's a simple question. Did you have a relationship with my daughter?

With all due respect, I'd prefer if you asked directly Mrs. Rehnskjöld.

In my book that's a 'yes'. They saw you together on midsummer.

This story is still going on... - I assure you it's not.

You want me to believe that nothing happened that night?

Whatever happened, it's behind us.

So something did happen. - Yes... but a long time ago.

Then you'll have to find yourself another job.

Yes, Mrs. Löwander.

You should be ashamed!

You should ask yourself why Nina is looking for me. - Excuse me?

I care about Nina. I never loved anyone as I loved her.

I never tried to make her do things she don't want to do, while you and that man...

You better stop now and quit that tone!

Let me get to the point! You're forcing her to live a life that's not for her!

You make her unhappy, I don't.

I love her for what she is. - Shut that mouth!

I have finished.

If you're so kind to wear this.

I must put a sack on my head? - It's part of the ritual.

Then you must walk the plank. It's symbolic... you die before you're reborn as a brother.

But why the sack? - It's symbolic... the darkness of death.

Then you're reborn in the light of the brotherhood.

Splendid! Comfortable? - No.

Can you breathe? - Hardly.

I'll be right back.

Move over! - What the...

Don't put that here! Who the hell decided to do this thing?

We're not the Carpenters' Order! - The plank is in the statute!

So here's the plank... where are you going? - I'll be right back.

You can't leave now! You are "Father Justice"!

Hello?

Excuse me... who made the rhubarb pies?

That was Ethel. Ethel!

Can you come? Were they good?

Just as I remembered them.

Why is that man wearing a sack? - I don't know, come.

Why are you wearing a sack? - Mind your business, you'll live longer.

Leave this bad man alone.

I recognized your rhubarb pies at the first bite.

No one else makes them like that.

Do you live in Sweden now? - Yes, since many years.

I remember you lived in Paris for long. - Not that long... a few years.

Paris is good if you're an artist. - You used to say that.

It's been tough for me when you broke the engagement.

Really? - Yes, I was devastated.

Depressed... I couldn't get out of bed.

I didn't think so... you never replied to my letter.

I guess I was too proud to show my feelings.

Well... I wasn't very cheerful myself...

...but I couldn't just wait the return of a poor artist, could I?

Poor... you never thought I could have had some talent?

Talent? You had talent... and stubbornness.

But not all the talented end up in the National Museum.

You've been such an inspiration for me. - I don't think so...

I'd never had a model like you. - You were just playing with clay.

In fact, I believe it was just an excuse to get me naked.

You believe so? I guess sometimes it was...

I have no regrets though... those were beautiful times.

When was the last time you went to Thielska gallery?

Did anyone see my glass?

No, Mr. Backe, you cannot see this! We're almost ready!

I know you, Backe, you have nothing to do with us!

I must ask you lo leave the room!

I know you too... you're one of Johan Löwander's old drinking buddies!

And I remember kicking you out!

You had a name until you went with Johan's bitch!

Ceder, shut up!

Dear "gentlemen"...

I don't think I'm drunk enough to be elected in your society.

Continue with your masquerade. - But Mr. Backe!

I apologize, don't leave! You'll miss the medals, the ribbons, the hats...

Don't ever mention the Kaparordern in front of me again!

I will not... absolutely...

I wasn't expecting much but this was ridiculous!

What a bunch of idiots!

What's wrong? You burned a sausage?

I... Helga just fired me.

I'm out tomorrow.

Helga!

Stig?

You can't fire him without even telling me! - Calm down...

He's the best around, what were you thinking?! - He admitted it.

What are you talking about?

He had an affair with Nina.

I used to trust him, I defended him when YOU wanted to fire him.

I was wrong and now you are wrong! - He's not going to stay. End of discussion.

Then I'm also out! - Are you?

Yes if I can't decide who to work with!

In this particular case, you have no say.

It takes two for those things! What about Nina then?

She's also at fault. - When you and I were together, was it just my fault?

How can you compare them to us? - Why not?

It's impossible to talk to you, Stig! Impossible!

So... I've also quit.

You didn't have to... - I know... but she must learn to stay out of my kitchen.

Did she tell you why she fired me? - Yes.

So damn stupid... - I'm sorry if you think so...

I'm only interested in having you working in my kitchen!

It will be alright... when Helga realizes what a disaster it is without the two of us.

Maybe she'll realize she's better off without us.

Chin up now... and don't you dare find another job!

We'll see.

You're working all the time.

Can't you take a little break? - I think so...

I'm sorry... I can't.

You don't want me anymore? - Of course I do.

But...?

When we're doing it...

...do you think of him?

Nina... sorry...

But you broke the engagement for him...

...and you work with him without telling me.

I'm trying, Erik... as hard as I can the whole time.

Can't we try to be a real couple, please?

What do I have to do?

You asked what I was thinking back in the car. - Yes...

Did you sleep with him on midsummer?

No, I did not.

Sorry...

Can we bring rosehip oil? - Yes, that'll be good.

Cookies and... a glass... - Little one!

Going out? - Yes, we're going bathing in Salsjön.

Have you told your husband about it? - No, he's not home.

I think you should really tell your husband. - Why so?

I've been instructed not to let you go out alone.

We'll be fine, we've been there already.

I could go with you. - It's not necessary, thanks. Come!

Good morning. - Good morning.

Or good afternoon by now. - Good morning.

When did you arrive last night? - Around 1.

I took the last ferry. - I didn't know you had a day off before vacations.

I didn't know either. - What happened then?

I got fired. - What?!

But on the bright side we'll have longer vacations.

But why did they fire you? - I had an argument with Helga Löwander.

About what? - She said I wasn't respectful. I'll find another job.

You've always been respectful to her!

It doesn't matter, Sonja, I'll find something else.

But what did you say to her... - I sad it doesn't matter!

You complained we didn't have enough vacations, now we have all July! Aren't you happy?

Absolutely.

Hey!

Don't ever go out alone with Christina!

It's too risky for her! - I'm no longer sick, Erik...

Kerstin told her but she wouldn't listen!

Don't do it again!

Erik!

Rehnskjöld. - Hi, Nina. It's me.

Hi. - How are you doing?

Fine.

I thought I'd... call you now...

...to tell you I've been talking to Calle.

I know you two have a past. You don't have to say anything.

Calle told me himself.

What I'm asking you is how long have you been together?

I mean... was it him who got you pregnant?

I'm not discussing this with you.

No...

Anyway, I fired him so you won't have to see him...

...when you come visit with your own family.

You fired him? - I can't have an employee who does such things behind my back.

It's unacceptable.

How can you be so bloody heartless?!

Don't talk to me like that, Nina... - But you can say whatever you want!

You say what you want regardless of anyone's feelings!

Before my suicide attempt... - You mean the accident.

It wasn't an accident... - Yes, it was.

It was not an accident! Listen to me!

I tried to end my life 'cause I didn't want to live anymore!

And I know you don't want to hear this...

...because the last thing you told me was that I should have only blamed myself for my illness.

You left me with that.

You turned your back on me when I most needed you.

No...

The only person who ever made me happy was Calle.

He's the love of my life.

Don't ever call me again.

The last ferry is in half an hour.

Shall I take it or you want me to stay?

I changed my mind about Calle.

Did you? - I thought I'd give him another chance.

If he apologizes to me. - Good luck.

I shouldn't after what he's done. - Hurry up, every restaurant is waiting to hire him.

But you are also staying... are you?

Go to the dock, I'll be right there.

You remember these?

But... - I kept them all along.

I brought them here with me to show them to you.

I was hoping... I don't know what I was hoping.

You kept them all these years!

We wrote to each other every summer.

Except the summer of 1930 because of that fair, do you remember?

What a long summer that was with us being separated.

I want to read you something.

"It's raining all the time and I miss you so much."

"Johan is in a horrible mood and we do nothing but argue."

"I don't know how long I can take this. I always think of the night we danced in Enevik."

"You held me tight and everything else disappeared."

"It was only you and me. I have..."

"...closed this memory in my heart so no one can take it away from me."

"Your love, H."

This is what happens... when you meet someone on midsummer... and it's exactly what you need.

I understand you need a new prescription.

Exactly, I need a new prescription for Veronal. The old one expired.
