- Nice way to start the day. - You should try.

NordVest Salma is buying up Salma King.

Salma King owns 50 % of Canadian Salmon,

and a concession on 11 farms in Chile.

They'll end up with a harvest volume of 400,000 tons.

World-leading.

Right now, Salma King is trading at 72 kroner.

When this comes out, I'm guessing... 160.

- When? - They're negotiating now.

A couple of weeks, if all goes according to plan.

Both acquisition and merger?

Mother and daughter.

Where will we get info?

We're the ones negotiating. I'm drawing up the contract.

- I want in. - How much?

Ten million.

I'll push it to 220 before those losers realize they're too late.

Great. Though I think 220 is a bit unrealistic.

You aren't ambitious enough. That's why you drive this electric crap.

At least I'm not running around trying to look like a 20-year-old.

How do you want the money?

I have some ugly art.

I always overpay for art.

I love how understanding you are, Adam.

You're the only one who thinks that, fortunately.

William, how are you?

- I'm good. - Glad to hear it.

So, ready to go back into the real world?

I guess so.

New suit, I see.

Yeah, new armor.

Hopefully you don't need an armor this time.

Your car will be here after lunch to take you to the airport.

But I'd like to give you one last speech.

Because I want you to remember why you came here in the first place.

The opposite of addiction is not sobriety.

The opposite of addiction is connection.

Human beings have a natural need to bond.

And when we are happy and healthy, we connect and bond with each other.

But if you can't do that,

because you're isolated or beaten down by life,

then you bond with something that gives you a sense of relief.

In your case, alcohol and cocaine.

You need to let go of the things that alienate you,

and bond with the things that give you a sense of connection.

I want you to think about that when you're at home, not just here.

I've spent four months in a mental hospital.

I've been here for three months.

I've done more thinking than most people do in a decade.

So you're ready now?

Yes.

Good luck.

Hello?

- All good down there? - Sure.

- Is Henrik there? - I haven't seen him since yesterday.

He's been using his cock as a compass again.

Not the world's best navigator.

I wouldn't exactly use Henrik and his cock for orienteering.

- Do you like salmon? - What, the color?

That's cheap, even for you.

I can be cheap. What about salmon?

- A shitload of money. - I'll call you later.

I need to pack and catch my flight. And hopefully find Henrik.

Hello?

The fetus' heart rate is somewhat irregular.

It skips a beat now and then.

Is that dangerous?

No.

Not necessarily.

But you're seven months pregnant. This has gone on for two months.

So you should have someone look at it.

As long as you avoid any stress

you should be fine.

Does this look correct?

Yes, that looks right.

Thank you.

Hi, sir.

Can you have this wrapped in plastic and delivered to room 4052, please?

It's a gnu.

Enjoy.

Thank you, sir.

Dressed for the occasion. It suits you.

So nice of you to come to breakfast.

Where did you go last night?

You were in the bar withdrawing some cash, with that girl...

- Ring any bells? - All I remember is the smell of sweat.

And that it was wet.

I've just been crawling around looking for a used condom.

Did you find it?

Let me help you.

If it was that same girl,

she was young.

But cute.

How young... are we talking?

She was probably older than 16.

The age of consent here is 12, so you fucked an old lady.

You pig!

Did you take Truvada?

- What's that? - Okay...

So you took malaria, tetanus and dysentery vaccines,

but you didn't take PrEP.

The HIV vaccine.

Let's say you used a condom. You just didn't find it.

- I must have used one. - Of course.

- I usually do. - You're a great condom user.

Let's pack our bags and get to the airport.

Have some white wine. Regroup.

Worst case, that child is now with child.

- Syversen Invest. - This is Hermine Veile.

You said the applicants would be contacted yesterday.

So I was wondering...

Then you weren't qualified.

Do you know if any other positions will become available?

No, but they might. I have your application.

Could you maybe send me your résumé?

Yes, I'll do that.

- Thank you. - No problem. Bye.

Hi, I saw your message.

When do you want to start?

I'll let you know. I just wanted to welcome you home.

- Have you missed it? - Work?

- You used to be good at it. - I am good at it.

My brain went on a long trip, but now we're friends again.

- You and your brain? - Yeah.

How are things with your wife?

You and your brain are doing better.

And you?

Celine is really happy.

The last time she visited, she almost seemed in love.

Not only because I'm better,

but because she's realized the money dries up when I'm gone.

Let's say

it's 20 % love and 80 % poverty.

Hang on.

- Where are the kids? - At my mom's. I thought we could...

- Let's set up a meeting. - Sounds like a plan.

Great, just tell me when and where.

Bye.

I'm just... I'll be right back.

You look so good!

Thanks, you too.

Damn.

The place looks great.

Why aren't the kids here?

I thought we could be alone.

Have a romantic dinner.

Like we used to.

Celebrate.

- Yeah? - Great.

I'm just going to get my bags.

- Why here? - I'm staying here tonight.

Tomine thinks I'm coming tomorrow. I have to fix a few things.

- Can we talk about something else? - I didn't ask.

Did you shoot anything?

I waited six days to shoot a lion.

Finally I got tired of waiting and shot a gnu instead.

A gnu? A kind of cow?

An ugly cow.

Something had to die. That's how it is.

I'm getting it stuffed and shipped home.

The whole thing?

Yes, I'm going to hang an entire gnu in my office.

- You don't hunt, do you? - Not for animals. For money.

I've talked to Jeppe. Why are you so bullish on this?

I have something on everybody.

- The world's oldest currency. - You mean pussy.

All I know is that this stock is going to skyrocket.

I need your fund to drive it up along with mine, once it goes public.

I'm handing this to you on a silver platter, come on!

- How much? - 40 million.

- Divided by how many? - All my "aunts."

And when is this happening?

- I'll let you know. - You'll let me know.

By the way, how is our future child doing? Heard anything?

- I thought it was yours. - Sure, on paper.

- I'm paying for it. - Already?

Yes, still.

Christ.

I haven't heard anything.

And the police won't let me call her.

I feel I should contact her. I just need to figure out how.

Otherwise you're doing okay?

The house sure is quiet.

That's all.

I'll call you tomorrow. I have to sleep.

Are you sick?

You look a little...

No.

Fair enough.

Bye.

Daddy's home!

Hello?

Fucking whore.

Easy, easy.

Let's talk.

No, Jeppe!

- No! - Sit down!

I'm sorry! Tomine said you were coming tomorrow.

Where are the kids?

At the movies with Ling.

I'm so sorry, I...

- Where are you going? - To throw him in a taxi.

Go take a shower.

Wait...

Sit!

Sit!

This looks delicious.

Yeah?

Can I say something?

Without you thinking

I'm being pompous?

Of course.

It's just so fantastic to see you now.

I've seen you slowly improve.

But to see you sitting here now...

For a while there, I thought you might die.

You even tried to.

From drug abuse, too.

And now you're sitting here, and...

It's like you're

that guy I fell in love with.

Like it never happened.

Yeah.

Where's Pim?

She doesn't work here anymore.

- I told you that. - I don't think so.

She quit a few months ago.

I thought it was best not to have things here that reminded you

of everything that happened.

The boys liked her a lot.

Sure, but there are others.

We have someone who's here during the day.

What's her name?

Gong.

Or something like that.

So, are you thinking of going straight back to work?

Yes.

You know,

among investors, I'm always going to be...

You actually put it best:

That guy who couldn't even shoot himself.

That's how it is.

I'm more into stocks now.

I've started building my portfolio again.

I have an office, and...

Listen to you. You've already started.

It's part of this new program I'm following.

Do more of the things I like.

And get rid of things that make me feel

isolated.

Smart.

What?

Nothing.

Stop it.

I'm just

wondering how you're going to take it.

Take what?

A moving van will be here tomorrow morning.

You're moving out.

The house is in my name.

Separate property, as you know.

And the children are staying here.

You can keep Madelen until she's done nursing.

Then she comes here.

I've gotten an overview

of your prescriptions from your doctors.

So there isn't a chance in hell, Celin, that you'll ever get custody.

- You can forget that. - What, how, why...

That sounds like a lot of questions.

How?

You mean the doctor?

I paid him.

And why?

You weren't here.

When I needed you.

I don't know about "what," but the van is coming tomorrow.

You can pack yourself.

But you're in shock.

I'll get them to pack for you.

You can sleep here tonight.

Then we'll see later on.

Maybe you'll get some pocket money.

I'm sorry.

I work a lot.

And I travel a lot.

I'm no good at

giving you enough attention.

The attention you deserve.

You deserve to be seen.

You know what?

Listen.

Your buddy is back home with his tail between his legs.

He'll never call you again.

We won't talk anymore about him.

No.

We're a family.

- Yes. - Families stick together.

- Yes. - Right?

The children don't need this.

Okay?

Okay.

I'm going up to Victoria.

I'll sit with her

until she falls asleep.

When I come back down,

we won't mention this again.

It's over.

- Yes. - Okay?

It's you and me.

You and me.

You and me.

Is Africa different?

Yes, Africa is

really huge.

Parts of it are almost like here.

Other parts are totally different.

Some people have a lot, some people have nothing.

Some places are beautiful and lush,

others places are dead.

Some places are slums.

And next to the slums are nice beaches and hotels.

Can we go there some day?

Definitely. Sleep now.

- Can you sit here a while? - I'll stay until you're asleep.

- Hi, Henrik! - Didn't you have a good doctor?

Yes, he's cooperative. What's up?

I have to check myself before I go home.

Listen, you can live with HIV.

Hardly anybody dies from that anymore.

- You just lose your teeth. - Can we just find out if I have it?

- Okay, fair enough. - Thank you.

You have reached Adam Veile. Leave a message.

You have reached Adam Veile. Leave a message.

Nice of you to stop by.

I didn't know if you would come.

What's the meaning of this, Adam?

I can't call you, but since I kept that camera, I thought...

Nice to see you still care.

A little wine?

Or juice?

I can make a smoothie.

Have you completely lost your mind?

My god.
