Acquitted (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 6 - The Hunt - full transcript

See ya.

- We can reopen the factory.
- Partners?

- Partners.
- Do you still think that Aksel

will save Lifjord? He has
no credibility in this village.

Inger, I'm nothing without you.

The court is in order.

You don't remember?

On the charge
of voluntary manslaughter,

the court
finds the defendant not guilty.

The court is adjourned.

Look, aren't they beautiful?
They're from Sven and Mariann.



Can't you at least try?
We have to look ahead.

We should do something for him.

What do you propose we do?

You've just told them
that he killed Karine.

If you want to help Aksel,
tell him to leave the village.

What? You want me
to chase him out of town?

That would be for the best.

- For him or for us?
- For all of us.

Eva, he's my son.

You have another son, too, William.
Have you seen how Lars is struggling?

William.

You know Aksel. If he stays,

he'll ruin his own
and all of our lives.

Is that what you want?



Hi.

So you're leaving?

I thought I'd give you this
as a thank you for helping.

- I wish I could have done more.
- No. You've done a lot.

- What next?
- I don't know.

- You're not what they think.
- No.

- No.
- Leave this place.

Start over again. If you stay,
they'll get under your skin.

If I leave,
no one will ever believe me.

The ferry to Fodnes
is ready for boarding.

Some battles are not worth fighting.

Hi.

- Would you like some fish soup?
- No thanks. I'm not hungry.

- Where's Helene?
- At the cabin.

- Alone?
- Yes. I even chopped wood.

- Wow. I didn't see that coming.
- There's nothing I can offer you?

Thanks, but no thanks.
Could you please sit down with me?

Can we talk?

Well, I have started...

looking for an apartment.

Oh.

It made me think of how we met.

I was a mess. Back then, too.

Yes, a bit. You wouldn't shut up
about your divorce.

You talked about her and Helene
and a lot about your mother.

They were terrible pick-up lines,
but they worked.

We can go to therapy. Anything.

My drinking, it's just...

I'm willing to do anything.

If we're to have any chance of...

- If we get back together...
- You want to move.

But you don't want to.

- Yes, I do.
- You do?

Yes.

Erik.

I can't sleep.

- Okay.
- Can I lie next to you for a bit?

- No...
- Please. Just for a bit.

Fine. Of course.

Good night.

Erik?

Hey. I'm sorry. That was...

Hey.

No, no, no.

Bloody hell.

Helene, don't go. Helene

Serious misjudgement

I thought you might be hungry.

- Aksel, is there anything I can do?
- Mum.

Eva's here.

He wants to talk to you.

It's best if you get in the car so we
don't have to get out the wheelchair.

I owe you an apology.

I never should have asked you
to come back.

Why did you do it?

I thought
we could start all over again.

That people would let
bygones be bygones.

You blame the villagers?

- I didn't say that.
- You lied in court. Not them.

I have to ask you to leave.

For your own sake.

Wouldn't that be a relief?
To get rid of me?

Get rid of the whole problem.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm not going anywhere.

- That's very promising.
- Hi.

- What are you doing here?
- Do you have a minute?

I've made some calls, and there's
great interest in your 4G solution.

- So if you still...
- Seriously?

But...

What happened
between the two of us...

It was great,
but we can't be together.

It could probably have had
another outcome, but...

- I just don't think there's...
- Relax.

Christ. I'm over that, Aksel.

- Okay.
- I have to get my kids from practice.

- What about this guy?
- I'll talk to him.

Hi.

What are you doing here?
What do you think you're doing?

- Dad, don't.
- I'm not talking to you.

- She was feeling down, so...
- Are you a pervert?

No, of course not.
She was just feeling down.

Do you think I'm stupid?
Get away from her.

- We're just friends.
- Get away from her!

Okay.

- Fine. Sorry.
- He's more than twice your age.

- We're just friends.
- I don't want to see you with him.

- Because he's Aksel's brother.
- Go get your things!

- What I don't want to?
- We're going to talk this over.

Fine! Then maybe we can talk
about your drinking too?

I'm not perfect, but that
does not excuse your actions.

- Go get your things!
- Okay. But just so you know it,

- I'm sleeping with him.
- Shut up.

I'm fucking him.

Trouble sleeping?

I can't let it go.

The way he looked at me.

- I'm afraid.
- Quit that. He's not dangerous.

But just the fact that he's staying
feels like a threat.

We've done all we can.
If he stays, he stays.

Tonje called me today
about Solar Tech.

So you're going back into war?

Hi. Can I get a...

- Excuse me, can I get two coffees?
- I'm all out of coffee.

- You just refilled the coffee pot.
- Well, I don't have any for you.

Christ, just get us some coffee.

Thank you.

Okay.

We're going to London.
I've arranged a few meetings there.

- What is it? What?
- It's not going to work.

You and Solar Tech.
It's not going to work.

You have to see that yourself.

I need someone the villagers trust.
It's not going to work.

Is it Svein?

I can't force people to accept
a solution they don't want.

- Okay.
- Believe me, I've tried.

Fine. Let's see if Svein
can help you. Bring him to London.

Or maybe Per-Olav.
He's probably good at financing.

Eva and William are back.

They're willing to invest
all their life savings.

It's important
that Eva's at the helm.

- No, you're not that cynical.
- Cynical?

I have to do
what's best for the project.

This is just a game to them.
Don't you see that?

This has been your game, Aksel,
since the day you came back.

This is not about Eva, is it?
Or the village.

This is about you and I.

Tonje, I'm sorry if I hurt you.
I mean it.

I know I can be a selfish idiot.
I know that.

What you did for me in court
is probably more than I deserve.

I owe you big time. I know that.

- You owe me?
- Yes.

But we should be able to fix this
without involving others.

How do you propose we fix this?

Are you going
to sleep with me one more time?

- Tonje.
- A fuck in exchange for the 4G code?

What's the matter with you?
You don't have a core.

Nothing matters to you. People are
just tools, things to be used.

I've let you use me for 20 years.
I can't do this any more.

- Are you okay?
- I want him to leave.

You heard her.
She wants you to leave.

How exciting.
Do you know what's going on?

No. They sent us a text message
and asked us to come.

- You don't know anything either?
- No.

Yes.

Welcome, everyone. How wonderful
that you could come on short notice.

I've invited you especially
because you've all worked

in key positions in Solar Tech.

I hope that you
want to work here again.

Thanks to Tonje's
groundbreaking research,

we're getting the company
up and running again. Tonje!

We'll launch
a new generation solar cell panels

for the commercial market.

Within three months,
our plan is to get

one third of the work force
back to work.

Within six months, half of
the work force should be back,

and within a year, the whole village
should be back at work!

And I can say that the company
will be fully owned by my family,

so I promise there will be
no Chinese this time around.

But William and I are getting old,

and this company
belongs to the future generation.

Therefore I'm appointing Lars CEO!

Dig into the food, and let's party!

- How wonderful.
- I didn't know anything.

- How wonderful, Lars.
- I'm so surprised.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

I actually believed you this time.

- That fucking bitch.
- What?

That fucking manipulating bitch!

You know what?
Let's leave. Right away.

- What do you mean?
- We're leaving. Right now.

- We can't just leave.
- Yes, we can find a place.

The Canary Islands.
Yes, Mallorca. Anywhere.

Let's go and plan
the rest of our lives.

- Are you sure?
- Yes.

I've never been
more sure in my entire life.

May I help you with something?

There you are.

- Welcome home.
- No! Oh my God!

Relax, mum. It'll be all right.

- Let's take this outside.
- I'm fine where I am.

- Please. She hasn't done anything.
- I've had enough of you.

- Let's take this outside.
- Okay, fine.

You stay put!

Aksel! Aksel!

You fucking psycho!
Is this how you killed Karine?

Stop it!

Can you please stop!
He's had enough now!

Stop it! That's enough!
That's enough, Per-Olav!

- Are you trying to kill him?
- Okay, boys. Let's get out of here.

Aksel, it'll be all right.
It's over now.

Okay? It's over now.
Mum, get a towel. Shit.

Mum, can you help me?
Can you get up?

- I can't stand this any longer.
- Mum, it'll be all right.

I can't take it any more.

- Mum, can you get a fucking towel?
- He killed her.

William told me. I asked him.

It's not true. It's not true.

He can't stay here any more.

You have to leave, Aksel.
You do get that?

Let's calm down.
We'll figure this out. Okay?

- It'll be all right.
- Erik, you heard me.

He can't... He has to leave.

Mum, please.

Erik?

It's understandable
that she's scared.

Leave.

Come on.

I'll drive you to the mountain cabin.
Shit, wait.

Shit, mum.

- Here.
- Wonderful.

- Hi.
- There you are.

We're celebrating, Lars.
This is for you. You can have mine.

- I'm not having any.
- We have to make a toast.

I said no.

Inger and I have decided to move.

- Move? Where?
- We don't know yet.

- I don't understand.
- I think it'll be good for us.

I need some space.
It's not that I'm not grateful.

That's a strange way of showing it.

I didn't even know you'd make me CEO.
You could have mentioned it.

What do you plan to do for a living?

We'll find something to do.

We'll use our house as security.
We want to downsize.

- Maybe a smaller apartment.
- Now she wants to downsize.

Mum, you don't really know Inger.
You never have.

The house is ours.
Half of it, anyway.

Lars, let's get back down to earth.
Your house is not yours.

You have shares in Hansteen Holding,
and no security outside the family.

Unless Inger has something
squirrelled away.

As far as I know, she came
empty-handed into this family.

Most people do just fine
without a large sum in the bank.

I'm just saying
that it's easy to be romantic.

Toy with the idea of starting over.
I don't know.

But I can't visualise Inger
in a run-down apartment somewhere.

That'll get old fast.

Lars, she probably loves you
in her own way.

But if you don't see that money's
a part of it, you're a fool.

- The money's a part of the package.
- Let the boy do what he wants!

You have to stop doing this, Eva.
It can't be like this.

I can't live like this.
I can't fucking stand it!

- Where's this coming from?
- We're all dancing around you.

Your race, your rules, your choices.
I can't take it any more!

Why aren't you content?
You've had it your way.

- You've won on every front!
- You can't stand it?

Everything is your fault!

I just don't get
why you have to punish Lars.

He's unable to look after himself.

Lars needs us.

He needs me.

There it is.
You love that he's dependent on you.

What are you saying?

You know what I think? You'd rather
die than let go of that boy.

I didn't know where to go.

Come.

I'm not very popular in Lifjord
at the moment.

- It'll be all right eventually.
- Yes. I know.

Start over again.
Clean slate and all that.

- I mean it.
- Yes.

Look at me.

It's not your fault.

Aksel.

Listen to me. It's not your fault.

Hi.

What are you doing?

Go to bed, Inger.

No. Not when
you're feeling like this.

- Don't tell me how I'm feeling.
- Just talk to me.

I don't want to talk.
I want to breathe.

- You just want to drink.
- Yes. I want to drink!

Enjoy yourself.

Tell me something.
I want to know more about you.

There's not a lot to know.

Come on. I've never met a girl
with no pillows on the couch.

Not a plant in the entire apartment.

I'm hungry. I could eat a horse.

- I don't think I have much food.
- You must have something.

No. You actually have nothing.

Incredible. You have no flowers,
no food and no pillows.

I'm minimalistic.

- Nutella. You do have that.
- Yes.

- So you like that?
- Yes.

Barolo 2008. Wow.

I've saved it
for a special occasion.

Well, isn't this a special occasion?

What is it?

- Should you be drinking?
- Why shouldn't I?

I just thought that
if you don't tolerate alcohol...

Where did you get that from?

You knocked down your brother.

Yes. And?

- You'd been drinking then as well.
- Then as well?

What do you mean by that?

Nothing.

God damn.

- You quit drinking.
- Yes.

But then I started again.

Are you scared of me?
Are you afraid I'll beat you?

- Stop it.
- You think I did it.

- Do you think I did it?
- No!

- It doesn't matter anyway.
- How can you say that?

I know who you are. I like you.
And it doesn't matter to me

- what you've done or not.
- What do you mean?

Aksel, I like you.

- Do you like me now?
- Aksel, please.

What about now? Do you like me now?

Answer me! Do you like me now?

No.

Great.

Great.

Erik! You have to let me in!
Please let me in!

Please!
Something horrible has happened!

Please.

Please! I have to talk to you.
