You have an inborn defect in your heart rate.
In addition to your angina, it can be very dangerous. - How dangerous?
Your life's at risk.
Someone's here for you. Gunnar Wegetoft.
I was 20 when you got me pregnant. We're doing fine by ourselves.
You wanna buy Oscarshof? - Gustaf will see it as a declaration of war.
I'm lending him a hand. - I will buy Oscarshof myself.
To get the money I sold my part of the Djurgårdskällaren.
We need more "rödkål". - Hens-Erik, more "rökt ål"!
Your loss of hearing is becoming a problem. - I know.
You and Nina... are you planning to have children?
Uno's father wants to see him but I never told him.
You can't sell outside the family!
Good evening. - Merry Christmas.
Who is this Henriette Winter? - I know she bought the Nya Teatern last spring.
How are you, mom? - Now I'll be fine.
I need to talk to Gustaf. - That's enough, mom.
If he wants to go, let him go. - He must stay as one of the partners, Peter.
Why? He's gonna make more money like this. - He's part of the family.
I'm sorry you had to find out this way. - How could you do that to us, Gustaf?
I did it for us, Astrid! I chose us!
Your share of the restaurant is all we have! - Oscarshof will be just as good.
Besides that, I have a job. - The expenses for the kids' school...
It's my own money, I don't need your approval!
You've put the whole family in jeopardy, I hope you know what you're doing.
EPISODE 12 - ROCK 'N' ROLL -
I'll call Betty and Mads in Copenhagen, maybe they know who she is.
Can't hurt us.
Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.
You own part of the best restaurant in Stockholm and you go ahead and sell it?
And for what? To buy a place on the decline?
Nina?
I'm going at the Union.
You might wanna go out a bit yourself.
Hey...
You and Christer could go ice skating or something.
You're listening to me? - Yes, leave me alone!
What's wrong? - Nothing.
I can see something's wrong.
Is it about a friend or... - Does my father want to see me?
Hop down!
Come here.
This way.
What's your name? - Yes... what?
Learn Swedish, for fuck's sake!
Come, you'll be staying here. Your fellow countryman will tell you what to do, ok?
Good.
Nice to meet you, my name's Angelo. - Sandro.
Where are you from? - From Naples.
Don't just stand there... start working! - Sorry.
I'm from Catania. - Welcome to paradise.
Director, last month's invoice. - Thanks.
There's always someone new. - Most switch to factories, so we always need new people.
It's hard work. - Harder than washing dishes?
The Director has nothing to worry about. You can't find cheaper dishwashers than these.
I'll make sure you get paid. - Good.
As Mrs. Winter pointed out... - Miss Winter.
Miss Winter... paragraph 8 is about an agreement between the partners in business.
Other DK shareholders get the chance to make an offer.
I see. Did you tell your family? - Yesterday.
At Christmas? - Yes.
Some Christmas present that was! What did they say?
They were not too enthusiast. - I thought so.
Maybe you should clarify to them. - Of course. Can we move on?
Paragraph 9.
I'm not gonna sell my share to you.
You'll be more involved in the DK too if we buy Oscarshof together.
I don't trust Peter. - Peter is not in charge of everything.
You need to see him from a different angle, then you'll know who he is.
Can't we at least try... - No, I'm gonna accept Henriette Winter's offer.
Then you'll invest the money in Oscarshof? - You don't need to worry about me, Nina.
Did you know Strömvall was involved in several bankruptcies? - Interesting... and still you wanna buy her restaurant.
Yes, if the price is worth it. - You're so transparent, Nina.
You really think I'm trying to screw you? - Are you?
No, you're twisting my words while I'm only giving you a good advice.
I don't need your advice. I'm fine by myself, thank you.
He only does it to spite us, it's got nothing to do with money.
I'll speak with him... - Mom, how much can we humiliate ourselves?
Peter, we're talking about your brother!
Peter Löwander. - Hello, this is Henriette Winter.
Hello, Mrs. Winter. - It's Miss Winter.
Hello, Miss Winter. - I hope you had a lovely Christmas.
I did, thank you. - I'd like to meet you, we got plenty to talk about.
Less than you think but it'll be good to meet you anyway.
Shall we meet at the restaurant? - Fine for me.
I was there on Christmas Eve. It'll be good to meet you.
Yes. Table 5, Henriette Winter. She made quite an impression on me.
In what way? - Yes... first of all she's Danish...
She speaks a lot and loud... in Danish.
She was wearing a very flamboyant dress and she smoked cigarettes.
Thanks for your time, Roos.
She was checking out the place. - I learned something interesting about Miss Winter.
Let's hear it.
How you're feeling? - A little better now.
Can you feel it moving? - It's too soon.
You know if it's a boy or a girl? - How would I know that?
If it sticks out in front is it supposed to be a boy?
I'm asking because of the name list.
What girls' names did we have? Lill... Magdalena...
It's too soon.
It'll be fine this time.
I wanna meet him.
What's his name?
Gunnar. - Why you never told me about him?
You never asked. - I did, you said he'd left.
Maybe I'm just still mad at him.
We could invite him over one day.
No, I wanna meet him alone.
Goodnight.
Ok, say something. - What am I supposed to say?
I don't care... anything you want. - Dr. Boman's diet is gonna drive me insane.
I don't hear any difference. - I can't stay long...
Wait, let me try this other one. Go ahead, speak.
Now I have to meet this horrible Danish woman and I'm very nervous about it.
However, we hope to lure her into Nybroviken bay.
Now try from over there. - This is the last time!
Speak in a low voice, see if I can hear it. - You'll hear what you wanna hear.
One more time. - You'll hear what you wanna hear.
You'll hear like you have a new ear! - Perfect, Stig. Exactly what I said.
She made a fortune in the theatre business in Denmark.
There's a lot of talk about her in Copenhagen.
She's from Aalborg and the word is she runs a brothel down there.
Let me start by saying this is gonna be beneficial for both...
Before we go too far, let me... - Excuse me, give me just a few minutes.
I've read about your plans to turn the restaurant into a sort of big club.
I too think it's the way to go. - Don't believe everything you read.
I did the same with my place in Copenhagen. - That doesn't mean it's right for us.
Of course not. I mean it as a compliment.
Coffee? - Yes, thank you.
As you may know, I own the Nya Teatern.
I'm thinking of a package: dinner with you and a show with me.
Miss Winter, why are you doing this?
I like to try new things and I'm sure it's gonna be mutually beneficial.
So this is gonna be respectable? - "Respectable"?
You wanna dig yourself out and create a respectable facade here in Stockholm.
Mom...
Mrs. Löwander, I know this is not what you had in mind.
Your son selling his share to a perfect stranger.
But he did... and the sooner you accept it, the better.
And the sooner you realize we don't want you as a partner... the better.
Can I be blunt? She's a witch. - I can't argue with that.
She doesn't know what's best for the restaurant! - My brother and sister do.
Are they gonna tell her? - Nina has been opposing Helga from the day she was born.
I'm sure you two will get along.
And your brother? - Peter will sure see the benefits of the deal.
Helga Löwander is a very influent shareholder.
You wanna maintain your offer?
Yes, I don't give up that easily.
Then we expect the family's counter-offer within 2 weeks.
One steak!
Ready on the counter!
Beautiful!
Two flounders. Bon appetite. - How's going with the union?
Very well. - What's the latest topic?
The going out of style of tips.
The way it should or shouldn't be. - So now tipping is forbidden?
No, you can tip as you always did. It's left to your discretion.
I'll just let you eat in peace now.
You wanted to say something? - No... it's stupid...
Say it, come on!
You'd be most welcome at one of our union meetings.
It would be a honor to have you. I realize now I'm being too bold...
When can I come?
DK Club. Mrs. Löwander, on the phone.
Thanks.
Nina. - Good evening, it's Henriette Winter.
Good evening. - I hope it's not too late to call.
No, don't worry. - I'd like to talk to you in private.
Mrs. Löwander? - Helga, peter and I have no secrets.
I don't see why we should meet in private. - I just think you'd be in a better state of mind.
We're determined to keep Gustaf as partner. - You know as well as I do he wants to sell.
You are the future, Mrs. Löwander. That's why I wanna talk to you.
Bojan, I'd like to ask you some questions.
Don't take it as distrust, please. - No, no... go ahead and ask.
What happened with Najaden? - Yes, well...
The long or the short version? - Short.
Too many cooks. There was Jonsson, who had been there for like 100 years.
Then there was me and Brunneman, who had no idea how to run a bar.
Classic. - I also lost a lot of money in the bargain.
Call Jonsson, if you want and hear his side of the story.
Maybe I will.
I really care about this restaurant.
I still don't know how everything went south so fast.
But you too know how it feels. - Thanks, I really do.
I'm going to bed. - He never comes home at the right time.
Goodnight. - Goodnight.
Gustaf, all this can be yours. You can realize all your dreams.
It's a lot of money, all that's left of my share of the Djurgårdskällaren.
Take all the time you need. - Thanks.
Hey... you're gonna finish this yourself?
Do a good job, I'll see you tomorrow. - See you.
The whole kitchen is waiting for you!
Move it, lazy bastard!
Look at you, you're drunk! - Enough!
I need that pot... - Get out... out, I said!
How are you?
Fine.
My God!
Good morning.
You missed your daughter's last day at home. - Last day?
You knew it. - Isn't it today?
We talked about it, you know it was yesterday.
Where are they? - They're already gone.
Hilma will be staying in Gränna for now.
I'm sorry, I had a long meeting.
Bojan wanted to talk about the deal so it's gotten late.
What is it?
You were at a meeting? - Yes.
Were you, Gustaf? - I just told you... what's going on?
Astrid, what...
They're great!
You got a minute? - Of course.
Are they gonna play here? - Yes. It's called Rock 'n' Roll, Peter.
I'm not sure it's right for the DK. - Why not?
Only kids listen to that and we can't expect to make a profit out of them.
In a few years the whole world is gonna listen to Rock 'n' Roll.
Then we'll play it in a few years. - Or we can do it now.
Or it's not your decision.
Mom and I are not gonna sit down with Henriette again.
We gotta make a counter-offer. - I must get back to my band.
You heard what I said? - Yes.
I apologize for my mom. - No need to, I understand her feelings.
Any change can be traumatic. I'm impressed with what your did with the DK...
Hey, Carl-Gustaf!
Carl-Gustaf Lindstedt. Nina Löwander.
Have you met before? - A few times at the DK Club.
Right, you own the DK! I guess we'll see each other again.
Now I gotta go. - Of course. Have a good work.
Did you know there was a restaurant here when the theatre opened?
I didn't know. - Garnier Restaurant. It was very popular.
Wouldn't you like to open it again? You could have a drink bar from wall to wall.
You don't give up easily. - No, I can't be accused of that.
Isn't it adorable? - Yes.
The DK too is a sort of theatre where you put on shows. - You've done your homework.
We could do great things together.
Come, I'll show you the bar.
When was the last time you had something to drink?
Drink... you haven't drank at all.
Didn't they tell you personnel must eat too? That's most unwise.
Here. - Thanks.
Angelo, you're gonna eat, drink and then sleep. Is that clear?
Ready on the counter!
Chef... you're looking for something? - No, it's my new earpiece.
How is it? - Much better... very good, actually.
Let's see this mussel soup. - Here, Chef.
Good.
How do you manage your workers? - Fine, why do you ask?
Tell it to the busboys! One of them passed out 'cause he hadn't eaten or drank!
Calm down now... - He didn't even know he was entitled to eat!
I trust the older busboys to teach them. They speak the same language after all.
I'll talk to union about this... and to the Director.
Ethel, I'll take care of it myself!
You realize many workers came from south Europe? Like Italy...
No, not with us.
Our next point is about the Social-Democratic Women Association.
I give the floor to Britt Gahn. - Thank, Margareta and sorry for barging in on your meeting.
Chef! Chef!
Chef... someone wants to thank you for the dinner.
You got time or... - My earpiece!
Maître! - Yes?
I found this in my soup. I don't think it's supposed to be there.
Weird...
One topic are Swedish nuclear weapons.
We strongly oppose our government involvement. - Why?
Sweden cannot speak against nuclear weapons and provide them at the same time.
Tage Erlander doesn't want Social-Democrats to talk about this but I'm happily ignoring him.
That's all for now. Who's not a member yet, can become one. Thanks.
Thank you.
Thanks for your time, Britt. - It was my pleasure.
Can I stay and listen to the rest? - Of course.
You think it lasted too long? - No, no... the look on their faces when I introduced Britt Gahn!
They obviously think highly of you.
Where are you going now? - Home, I live in Bryggargatan.
You'll move out soon. Are you gonna miss Klara?
I don't think so, it's very crowded and drafty.
I need a bigger place. My son is 13 and wants his own room.
My husband built some new apartments in Vällingby. That might be right for you.
Aren't they taken? - Not all of them, ask in Town Hall.
Ok, I'll do that.
I'll see you then. - Yes. Bye.
Listen, everyone!
I know you're all very amused 'cause my earpiece ended up in a lady's soup.
Thor Modéen* couldn't have done it better. (* Swedish comedian)
I'll stop using the earpiece but don't think you can do whatever you want.
I might be deaf... but I'm definitely not blind.
Is that clear? - Yes, Chef.
Is that clear?! - Yes, Chef!
Good.
Swedish Radio in Stockholm.
We at Radiotjänst would like to keep you company in this New Year's Eve.
With our best wishes of a great new year.
Good evening! We meet again! - Miss Winter. You're all most welcome.
Follow me, please. - This way!
Separate booth, as you wished. - Thank you.
Sit down and make yourself at home!
Who wants beer and shots? - Me!
We'll have 10 beers and 10 shots of Aquavit Aalborg!
I'll say hello to a friend and I'll be right back.
Hey! Nobody touch my Aalborg!
Peter! Happy New Year! - Miss Winter.
I have the whole theater crew with me. - You're all welcome.
They're gonna drink more than all your other guests put together.
Hello, you work here? - Yes. Peter Löwander, I'm the Director.
What does Mr. Lindstedt needs? - Dom Perignon.
Löwander, you said? You have a sister named Nina?
I met her back at the theatre. - Nina was at the Nya Teatern?
Yes, she's good friends with Miss Winter.
I'll bring the champagne. - Excellent.
A bottle of Dom Perignon for Mr. Lindstedt.
I need to talk to you. Now.
Ok... excuse me.
Leave us alone. Get out! - What the...
You met Miss Winter behind my back? - Peter...
If you play these tricks on me I'm gonna kick you out of here, you understand?
Got it? What...
I think I'm bleeding. - What?
Go get Calle, I'm bleeding!
We need help! She's bleeding!
You wait here.
Sit down.
Don't fill up on "pyttipanna"! We'll have two of everything!
Tough one, two of everything! - What?
Double appetizers and double main dishes! - Double appetizers and double main dishes!
Can you be a bit quieter...
Gentlemen... - They won't sit down.
Gentlemen... you have a seat? - In theatre, of course!
Mrs. Löwander!
Happy New Year!
That was Helga Löwander! Cheers to Helga!
Take them to the ballroom.
If you'll follow me to the second floor. Hello... second floor...
Nothing's wrong?
A little bleeding can be normal.
You're gonna have a baby. - Thanks.
Take care.
Yu didn't leave? - I'm sorry.
It wasn't because of you. - I'm sorry just the same.
I gotta go back at the restaurant. Can we talk tomorrow?
I'd love to.
Congratulations. - Thanks.
We'd like not... - I won't say anything.
15... 14... 13... 12...
11... 10... 9... 8... 7...
6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Happy New Year!
Cheers to everyone for a great 1956!
Cheers and Happy New Year! - Happy New Year!
Back to work!
Goodnight. See you tomorrow. - Gustaf, you got a minute?
You know Ragnar Bååth? - Yes, he owns the Stadt in Västerås.
Yes, among other things.
He made an offer to buy Oscarshof. - I see.
He wants to establish himself in Stockholm.
I haven't answered him yet, I'd really like to do this with you.
But the offer is good and he's serious. - When do you need my answer?
He wants an answer by Thursday but I wanted to talk to you first.
Gustaf, did you sort out the sell of the DK?
You have the money? - Yes... I have it.
I do.
I don't wanna pressure you. - It's ok... we'll do it.
Ok. Good!
We need a glass to celebrate. - Absolutely.
Löwander. - You're gonna accept Miss Winter's offer?
Again with this story? - I wanna close the deal.
Gustaf, we made it clear we don't want her partnership. Now she's withdrawing her offer.
I think you're mistaking.
Gustaf, think about it... do you really wanna sell?
Yes, I want to sell!
We have to meet. I could sell to you instead of her, if we make it quick.
I'll talk to Nina and Peter. - Good.
I feel ashamed about yesterday. - You were right, I should have told you.
We must stick together.
We will. It was nice of you to stay at the hospital.
Suzanne once said you were the only good person she knew.
You kept in touch with her? - No.
Hi, Uno. My name is Gunnar. - I know.
Hi, Margareta.
Shall we go in? - Of course.
Bye. - Bye.
Yes, Benke, just put it there.
Will you check? There's gotta be 5 of them.
Excuse me... - Yes?
Me... pay... - What's that?
Me... pay. - Pay? You want your pay?
I'm gonna detract lodging because you're living here.
Plus you ate and drank at the restaurant. There's nothing left, I'm afraid.
There'll be no pay this week.
Sorry... I didn't catch the last part...
If you don't complain and gossip with the other workers...
...perhaps you'll get paid next week. Understand?
Get the last cases out of storage. Got it? Just the last cases.
Can I help you?
Looking for something?
No... sorry, I...
I'll go. Thanks.
With Andersson? - I hope not.
Listen... how much longer you think Backe is gonna stay here?
He's not gonna leave. - The whole kitchen wants you in charge.
Some have even started looking for another job.
You too? - Not yet, but...
Backe is bit depressed right now but it's gonna get better.
Yes... let's hope so.
Hi. - Hi. How is she?
Fine, we took a little walk.
Did you discuss the offer? - No we didn't.
So it was just a mild hemorrhage? - Yes, why?
Seems very convenient considering the timing.
It wasn't that serious if you were out walking. - Yes, thank God.
Listen...
Helga called. Gustaf is ready to sell to you.
Miss Winter must have given up. That's a good thing.
Yes, very good.
Let's see... "Two bedrooms and kitchen, well distributed, 51 square meters".
"Perfect for a small family". That's in Vällingby.
How it went with Gunnar? - Good, we'll meet again tomorrow.
So he told you when we... - We didn't talk about you.
I'm sorry but I must say... I'm a little bit worried.
Suddenly he wants to be a father... you don't even know each other!
He steps in now? - He's not stepping in, we're just meeting.
I really don't know...
He's my father, of course I wanna get to know him.
Yes, of course...
All he said about you was that I could not have a better mother.
Go on reading now.
I got an extremely good offer from Henriette Winter but you don't want her as a partner.
I want this done very quickly. - Gustaf, can't we...
No, mom.
I came to hear your offer.
I got the contract ready so we can get this done right now.
It's considerably less than Henriette's offer.
It's a reasonable price for your share. - No, Peter... no.
You want this done right now... that's what we can pay you.
Go to hell, mom! Go to hell!
Gustaf!
