There is not a single company that will take us with pliers.
-Hallo? Who is it? -William Hansteen.
-Don't you miss home, Aksel? -No
It's been 20 years. Things look different now.
-So You are practically bankrupt? -No .
What I am saying, is that I believe in miracles.
You have no right to to be here in Lifjord.
Make your documents ready. We buy.
No. No, I can not. -Please.
This makes you not. Not again.
Do not touch me.
-How will you persuade people? -Increase price.
That's not how it works here.
People will surely have a job to go to, even in Lifjord.
It's been a while since you were home. Look here.
In the mountains in dancing shoes.
Eva has been working very hard for these people for 20 years.
It's going to be a fight about whom they trust. Her or you.
If you get with you all along, it remains Lars and his 3%.
-Lars do I manage. -Oh well?
He has changed the company figures.
I hope I do not need to use it, but ...
Aksel, you've got a chance to show people who you are.
Is it really this here you want to show off?
I have to overcome this. -Not that way.
The entire Board has decided sales. Now we know anything.
We work several alternatives Svein.
There is no alternative to lay off 200.
Hopeland Bank rings and rings. What shall I say?
He can wait. I have to say something.
Tell him I'll call.
Do not panic, Svein. I'll take care of it.
-Do you have two minutes, Mom? -We are not quite finished, Lars.
Svein, this is only temporary. Trust me.
Hi? Good.
They run around like the swarm chickens.
There is not anyone who understands why you suddenly turned.
People talk about you put your own feelings in front of all.
What if he turns everyone against us?
Lilies. So beautiful color.
Mom. -People support us, Lars.
They know what we stand for. The municipality also. They do not sell.
I talked with Rasmus yesterday evening. But the union?
You and Svein are good friends?
But talk with him, then. Go out and have a beer or something. Lars.
The I must take. Eva Hansteen.
Shareholders have different priorities. I need time to convince them.
Give them an offer they can not say no to.
-Greit. How much? -They tend to sell themselves cheaply.
Can we talk later?
Hey, true. -So good.
Is it yours?
We are going to offer a very good price.
It's not that easy. It had not been somewhat Solar Tech without Eva.
Eva will of course still be the boss.
That's the whole point. We shall continue as before.
The Chinese are not known to think of local jobs.
We guarantee production in Norway for two years.
What about Lars?
Do you remember how we got him to go to the grocery store for us when we were little?
He would do anything for a piece of gum.
I think going well.
So you are best friends again.
How long did he take to persuade you? Five minutes?
He is the only one that can save your work.
Aksel Nilsen never thought of anyone other than themselves.
Now you have to fuck me give you, that is.
I have a bad feeling.
Impressive. Really impressive, Tonje.
Not particularly easy to read, but still impressive.
I think we can achieve something together.
But the way it is now, do not I done some things.
If I'm going to help you, I need your stocks.
-Of course. -You can buy you up again later.
Just like everyone else.
-Tonje. Why, I never heard from you?
I stood in the witness box and shat on me for your sake.
Had you waited I should say thank you, then?
I sat in one year. Was that my fault?
Had you told the truth immediately, had not happened.
You can have the damn stocks and go to hell.
People can not lose your job because of something that happened 20 years ago.
No, but Eve's review is 100% commercial.
There, you can be confident.
Totally agree with you.
You do not put your hand on me, Aksel.
-Eva Hansteen ... -Eva Hansteen has nothing.
She has nothing. It is your responsibility to ensure that the five years-
-is more in the village than a crossroads and a gas station.
No, you're going to flag out before anyone has time to say chop suey.
Chop suey? OK.
You live dangerously.
-Oh well?
You come here and stir up in old crap. It is dangerous.
For whom? Are you afraid of losing the next election?
One diploma. It is the only why you can stand here today.
One diploma from a lying little girl.
Now I'm not the mayor, but if I were you -
-would I thought a little how I would be remembered.
You will hear from me.
-Erik? -You were scared you.
You were shit scared. You were there. I saw it on you.
Yeah, so ...
Come here.
-Yes, yes. -Look at you.
Yes, look at you.
Did it hurt?
Take and understand. We run.
-You're welcome.
-Are You still active on the board? -I cruiser to and from in the season.
But right now it's mostly business.
I have some exciting things going on now.
OK. l which industry then?
-Utstyrsbransjen. -Utstyrsbransjen?
I have some prototypes I should get made now.
It'll be damn exciting. -So good.
You can show me the prospectus. Maybe it's something I can put money in
Prospect? OK. -I mean it.
Yes. So on paper, by the way.
I did not recognize you.
I visited my mom. -I Heard that.
She seemed a bit odd. -What do you mean by that?
She would not let me in.
-Buy Some flowers. -Flowers?
I promise you.
Two, three ...
-Hi Hey now I was out of the census.
-I Brought some cake with coffee. -Kjøpekake?
You never know what they put in it.
I told you to go for flowers.
-Hey Mama. -How Is it here?
I should not complain. Erik takes care of me, you know.
-No. -Yes, It's true there.
Yes, but you do the it.
He received a job offer in Chermonix, but chose to stay with me instead.
Chermonix, was not it?
Yes, you may say from If there is anything you need.
No, then. We do not need anything, we -No?
If you need some people to fix up ...
-People? Mom, keep the coffee.
-I Do not want any people here. No, Mom. He is trusted.
Trusted?
Continue with the coffee. You have a curved cake or something in the closet here?
Just keep the coffee.
So find something good There is something sweet in a closet here.
She ... It will work out, that is.
She gets so paranoid when she gets stressed.
Does she ... Has it been that way long?
Yes, it's been like that since ...
That's OK. I have a few tricks.
You must do something. She seems quite sick.
-Are you an expert on it even now? -What?
Are you an expert in it even now?
-Twist. Did you find it.
I said you had something.
All right.
-Thank You for last. -Yes, Yes. Come inside.
Aksel Nilsen.
It was right of you to say no, and I would have done the same, but ...
For the rest of us, so ... It becomes something else.
You disappoint me, Rasmus.
Yes. I regret really, before I...
I look at you as a friend, Eva.
I made you mayor.
-Yes ... Let's call a spade a spade.
What is it you want? My blessing?
I want you too come to formannskapet-
-and tell them that sales are only resort.
They do exactly as you say.
PWG gets life in Solar Tech, and you keep your share.
Is not it a win-win, Eva?
You want me to transform a murderer into a folk hero.
No, Eva ...
-It is okay. Yeah?
-I'll talk to management. Yeah, but ...
Was it anything else?
No.
-Then we'll see. -Yes.
With such a combination we will get a very unique position.
Inger, it's just that there is a problem here -
-or a challenge, with the place here.
-What are you thinking about? -The situation with Solar Tech.
You know what, Pernille? It is time that management into sleep
-Coming up here and see potential they sit on, -
-and I think they could invested in it.
Without Solar Tech door village within a few years.
It applies to the hotel too.
I do not know if he has a boyfriend.
He is 1:06, damn. Let him have a few secrets.
I hate secrets. -I know.
Have you visited your mother? -Yes.
Aksel? -We talk when I get home.
There are some that stand and look at you.
-How It goes with them now, then? No, I have no idea.
Is that something, or? -Are You the daughter of Lars?
-You, We sticking.
She is riveting equal.
It is totally sick.
You pardon. I do not know what...
I realize of course that it was difficult for you too.
I met Rasmus. Damn, what a guy.
I do not understand how he managed to become mayor after all ...
After?
-No, That is, after it with ... -That We fucked?
We had us like rabbits the nighttime Karine was killed?
How do we relate to Askel Borgen?
What do you mean?
Has he asked you to sell?
Not yet.
If he asks, then?
-Hallo? Hey, Lars. It's axle.
-You Are busy day. -Fagforeningen Are with.
The Presidency is slipping, in any case.
With your record, we actually buy us up to over 50%.
Everything will be as before.
Hansteen family keeps its, people retain jobs. Everyone is happy.
Why are you here, anyway?
I'm trying to save the workplace. -Pisspreik.
Then you could have sent someone else if that was what was the point.
You could have shown a little respect.
I saw you with Karine. I saw that you were pissed.
-You ran after her. -This bother I do not.
Was that you who killed her? -Forget it.
My mother is launching an alternative plan for the presidency tomorrow.
I should be completely honest with you.
Solar Tech is at a critical situation.
Does that mean that it gets more layoffs?
It's only temporary. The important thing now-
-is to ensure that we secure jobs in the long term.
Aksel Nilsen, or Borgen as he calls himself now -
-Will emerge as our savior.
But what he and Chinese samples, is a hostile takeover.
They will slaughter Solar Tech.
We must see to it certainly does not happen.
It is clear, Eva.
But the fact is we are forced to raise fresh capital.
Investor has not exactly been queuing.
No, but maybe our beloved mayor wish that we sell out?
No. I think the contrary.
When Lifjords interests, our interests are threatened -
-then municipality should set up.
What do you mean? You mean the municipality should go in and invest?
Yes, investing again.
We have always kept together. It is what has made that we have survived.
I thought to ask all lifjordinger to volunteer-
-so we avoid share issue for Solar Tech.
Everyone should have the opportunity to invest in the future -
-if it is with 500 million or 500,000.
And I expect that the municipality show the way and take their responsibilities.
Yes, the municipality will take its responsibility.
But now I think we should take it a little slow in the curves here -
-and so we must keep the tongue legged in the mouth.
This here with Aksel Nilsen, it is difficult.
It is difficult for us all, especially for Eva.
My feelings have nothing with it here to do.
We can not just approve a total relocation to China.
What we need up front guarantee
-that they do not move abroad as soon as the papers are signed?
Me. I'm the warranty.
Who asked him?
It's such an important matter everyone should get opportunity to present their views?
Or?
Yes of course.
Eva said that her feelings has nothing to do with this.
Of course it has that.
Here I stand and reminds her about a cruel tragedy.
I remind you all about something you'd rather forget.
I have also tried to forget how I was chased from here.
Forget where I came from.
As a boy I used to play down the yard.
I followed the ships while they were in the dock.
It was illegal to play there, but it made it only more exciting.
I came here because I ... we thought Solar Tech could be good business.
I admit it. But now, this is not just business anymore.
I've come home.
I'm going to fight with everything I have for this place.
I saw him today. He stared at me absolutely sick.
He was real nasty. -Hysj, Tonjee. Do not say like that.
He is there.
He would buy the shares mine. There was no bomb, right.
You should just have said from.
What is it, then? Are you thinking to sell, or?
Of course not.
Well.
I know I do not have anything with it, but I think you should consider it.
Are you stupid or what?
The man is acquitted. I think it's a little voldsomt-
-to put the whole village in danger based on an old suspicion.
This is a family matter.
I do not think we should talk about things happened long before your time.
There are quite a few families who are affected, not just ours.
You have not got any sauce. There is so little. I'll fill in.
I do not trust her.
She split the marriage. -There We now know not when.
Yes. There went the less than a year in between.
Do not be naive. She has married for money. It is quite evident.
There were many who said you also did once.
But I would not have community property.
No, but it got you, and then some.
God. Yes, yes.
I had a meeting with Pernille Ødegård.
Sleep-chain choke us because they think that you're going to go bankrupt.
-No.
Karine was my sister.
I know how he was when he drank.
If it was him who did it, would you still think we should sell?
-No, Lars. Of course not. -No.
That's exactly it. I do not know.
Lars, if your mother had not believed that it was he who did it -
-had still believed it?
I do not know. It is impossible for me to answer.
It is just that.
-You keep yourself in shape? -Yes.
You are right. I could certainly heeded.
For sure.
I thought, or I had hoped that we had come forth, -
-but I realize that there is something that will always ...
I loved her, I also. You know that.
Invitation to shareholders meeting.
Wait.
The due diligence.
Do you think we are amateurs?
You played with the numbers. I'll make it easy for you.
Whether you sell, and then we forget it -
-or so you don't sell, and we'll see what happens.
Cynical bastard.
We sell.
Huh?
We have no choice.
It is good. I think that's absolutely right.
So good. I totally agree.
Everyone wants the same in Lifjord.
-You Have a good feeling? Absolutely.
Have you prepared yourself long?
-In 20 years one might say -Think you are ready, then?
Now we will see how the meeting goes, but I feel confident that
-everyone will vote from the heart -
-and that the company remains here Lifjord.
-Hi -I Have a bad feeling.
-Now this is done. But I have a bad feeling.
Vote right, then.
-This goes way, you know. You think not?
-Lars Has not come. -No?
We'll wait for him, then. We can not begin without him.
Lars, he is not with you? No, he would come straight from work.
Lars is loyal.
No, Eva. Lars and I actually stands together in this.
So strange that he is not here, then.
PWG must have more than 50% overall in order to enter.
Eva Hansteen will still be major shareholder on any sale.
And sales ... Be so good, Lars.
The sale implies otherwise minimal changes in actual operation.
It has axle, or PWG, guaranteed.
We all been through a process here.
All of them.
Now I ask each and every one about looking ahead.
Lifjord is a small space. We've managed well-
-but we are can no longer escape the fact that the world is knocking at our door.
Now it's time and drop it into.
Eva, would you say something before ..?
No, I think that everyone here know where I stand.
So I suggest that we go directly to a vote.
Yes, but when we do it. When we go to vote.
Those who are for sale to the PWG.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
Yes. Then we have. Then we end at 49%.
So then the question is whether ...
I have 1.5%.
Legally I own 1.5%.
So if I sell them ...
It can not do.
Lars?
Then we end actually 50.5%.
-50.5%.
That it can go.
Then I let you discuss issues in peace.
Thank you for your confidence, everyone. Thanks for that.
This means, ladies and gentlemen, the PWG can implement an acquisition-
-with a majority of 50.5%. Fantastic. Congratulations !.
Fantastic. Thank you. It is brilliant.
Thank you.
Lars. I had no choice. Do not be mad at me, then.
What do you want me to say, then? I'm a coward? Pitiful?
That you did what I did not dare to do?
Now I've said it. Are you happy?
Do you really think that's how I think about you?
You know what? You are not a coward. You are anything but cowardly.
We're going home now. Come now.
Solar Tech survives. Is not it important?
Are not they beautiful?
They symbolize innocence. Did You Know?
Eva, I want you to know I have great respect for you.
For everything you've got and everything you've gone through.
So I hope maybe someday you may ...
Forgive?
OK. I go back to Malaysia so soon as we are finished with the formalities.
Good. It is good.
I'm glad it's over.
I promise you that this is not over.
Not until they have got to know who you are.
