Made in Oslo (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Home Cooking - full transcript
Okay.
Hi, Vidar!
You don't know me,
but I knew your mom
back in the old days.
Congratulations on your big day.
When I was confirmed,
my Aunt Bente told me:
"Life is like a chest of drawers.
Drawer upon drawer.
And you have to make sure to fill
those drawers with something good."
Christ, I have to do that again.
Oh, it's rolling.
Okay.
I can't seem stop this camera,
so I'll just try again. Take two.
Elin?
Hi.
I'm Hege's sister.
Yes, of course, I can see that.
I didn't know
you were still in touch?
We aren't really.
But I'm Vidar's godmother.
-So that's why I'm here.
-I see.
It's not a role
I have mastered brilliantly, but...
It's no longer fashionable
to make sure they're brought up
in the Christian faith.
I don't think we'll even bother
having godparents.
Congratulations.
Lovely.
What about you?
How far along the track are you?
I've left the track.
Gone off-piste.
Gone off the beaten path,
as it were.
-No children.
-Oh, I see.
-But...
-I am a stepmother.
To a girl of twelve.
That's a great age.
Don't tell anyone.
Okay, I see.
That's what it takes
to get through this.
So...
So.
It's been a while.
Yeah.
You just ran off.
I know.
As far as I'm concerned,
you could have made... contact.
You don't hate me?
Not anymore.
I did hate you.
Yeah.
But I have grown up.
Become older.
Yeah.
But...
Oslo.
Any good?
It's at least a little better
than here.
Yeah, it's...
I can see that.
What the hell
are you really doing here?
No, I...
-I don't know.
-Right.
I'm trying
to prove to myself
that I can be trusted.
Or something like that.
By saying yes to an invitation?
Yes.
And then going, and dealing with it.
Yeah.
Sounds more like
some sort of penance.
Good I met you, then.
Yeah.
Do we still have unsettled business?
Eirik?
Eirik?
There you are.
I think we need some help
with tables and practical things.
Yes, I can take care of that.
Nice to see you again, Elin.
Stella, I can explain everything.
-Let go of me!
-I can explain.
Stella...
-I can explain everything.
-I never want to stay here again!
-Hello, my dear!
-Cut it out.
What a cute little girl!
-Don't!
-Hi, Elin.
Good to see you.
-That was so awesome!
-You'll scare people to death.
-Did you see your mother?
-No, I stayed at a hotel.
The whole trip
bordered on masochism.
-What did you do this weekend?
-Bought some flower bulbs.
Then I delivered some clothes
to a flea market.
And then I...
-I took myself off Tinder.
-No!
No!
Why?
Because Jon Erling,
if that really is his name,
picked up someone else on Tinder
while I was buying him a drink.
It's...
It's not worth it.
I'm too good.
-But no one sees it.
-You're the world's best.
You are.
And I'm perfectly happy alone.
Happy enough, anyway.
-Are you on speaking terms?
-No.
Nothing.
Hey.
I'm the one
who has to say something.
There's so much to apologize for,
I don't know where to start.
And here I lie,
gassing my womb with incense.
-That's how it gets softer.
-What if you boil it?
It's getting warmer.
My uterus might not be the problem.
The last few times, it's
as if the eggs have deteriorated.
How was it...
Did you ever try egg donation?
No.
We never did. There was no real donor
register back when we were trying.
My eggs looked fine then.
Why don't you try mine?
I mean it.
As many as you want.
If they're good enough.
-It's legal now.
-With an anonymous donor.
From a state register,
between the ages of 25 and 35.
-Not a favor from a friend.
-Nitpicking.
Mom, are you coming?
We're already out of candy.
Out of candy?
I bought 5 kilos!
-They've eaten everything.
-No! Fine, give them dates.
These dates are fancy.
Look.
It's Halloween, mom!
Take those dates,
and let's scare the shit out of them.
Ready, set, go!
Okay.
Now...
That does not look good.
Can I do it myself?
Hold it like that and inject it
into your stomach at an angle.
Push.
Excellent.
Christ.
I wonder what
your Chinese gods will say
about you filling your body
full of synthetic hormones.
You're tricking your body
into mass-producing eggs.
The capitalists are in charge
in China.
And they love mass production.
They love it.
That's true.
Norwegian family tree?
-Isn't that Bjerk's logo?
-Yes.
It's a long article about them.
How groundbreaking they have been.
For the Norwegian research community.
They've received funding
for a huge project on epigenetics.
Sure.
But...
Can they take that tree metaphor
any further?
It works.
Conducting research
at an international level
as an independent, private
Norwegian clinic is pretty good.
We could have done the same thing
if you had only listened to me.
Hi, I'm calling
because someone has left
a baby carriage outside my job.
It's cold as ice.
Can you please come quick?
-Thank you.
-We'll be back next week, Knut.
Have you been waiting
for mommy and daddy?
-Did you bring diapers?
-Yes, I have them.
They're here.
Hi there. We got a call about
an abandoned baby carriage.
We've just been inside playing.
He's fine being outside.
Did you place the call?
Is the baby okay?
Yes.
01, this is F404.
The situation by the bookstore,
with the abandoned child...
Alexander?
Mom, you have to come and get us.
Come and get us!
We know he isn't alive.
Mom, come get us now!
Is that your baby
in that baby carriage?
Mom, you have to help me.
He's just for practicing.
We live in our own apartment.
Social workers come and check on us,
but we never need help.
It's a mild mental impairment.
And I'm on the spectrum.
True, Alexander, but as much as
one percent of the population
may be within the autism spectrum.
How long have you
been trying to have children?
A year and a half.
And your family doctor?
She said it might be nature's way
of saying it's not such a good idea.
We hope for a more respectful
treatment in the private sector.
We know we're a little different.
But we love each other.
You can't consider it. That child
will go straight to Child Services.
I'm not saying I disagree with you.
But many disabled parents manage
to care for children just fine.
With some adjustments
and some help.
What degree of disability
are we talking about?
Hard to say. I couldn't establish
that from one conversation.
They didn't come with a letter
stating their exact mental age.
But he did bring his mother
to the appointment.
Sure.
It just feels so unfair. They
have every right to want a child.
Where else have they been rejected?
-Stop being so grumpy!
-I'm being a realist.
This is complicated.
You're making me the realist.
You come across as nice
and I'm a cynical jerk.
You feel bad because
you know what you have to do.
Thought maybe it was a hassle
to cook in that tiny kitchen.
It's fine, as you can see.
-What do you have there?
-Lasagna.
It's hot.
Want some?
It's insane.
It is.
Introducing a fake husband,
a fake father,
to Child Services,
in front of a child.
That's completely insane.
Makes you want to help her.
I think she knows it wasn't okay.
You often realize that
when you're completely fucked.
How long did your marriage last?
We aren't divorced yet.
I hope you understand
what a betrayal it would be
for Stella if you take her back.
After this.
Good work, people.
Thanks, you too.
Wait for me, girls.
-Bye.
-Wait, I'm coming!
Shit!
-Have you seen this?
-Yes, you posted it online.
Aren't you worried
it might be too much?
Junior high, grades,
puberty, boys...
And practice four times a week?
-Maybe.
-Maybe?
I don't push her.
She should be allowed to try.
As long as we make it clear
she can slow down if she wants to.
Right now she is so keen
that it would be wrong
not to give her the opportunity.
Some just have "it".
Hi!
Hi.
Are you hungry?
We have plenty of food.
Could you...
I need sperm.
Now.
-You need sperm now?
-Yes.
I'm trying egg donation with Maiken.
The eggs are mature,
but I'm out of sperm.
Do you hear what you're
standing here saying?
-Having a good time?
-I don't want children with Maiken.
I want you to stop!
Fuck!
Shit.
Has something happened?
Something more?
With Elin?
Yeah, now she wants to try
egg donation.
I didn't even know that was legal.
Whatever.
I want no part of it.
She wants to use Maiken's egg.
Maiken?
-You're having a baby with Maiken?
-No, I'm not. I said no.
She isn't getting any more sperm.
It's over.
-Okay?
-Yup, that's how it is.
-What?
-I don't know...
You don't know what?
Tell me.
I was just wondering if she...
Would she
use someone else's sperm?
And if so, what would be worse?
That she never takes no
for an answer,
or that she has a child
with someone else?
This is cool!
I can't promise
you won't feel anything.
Imagine getting a cocktail like that
every time in this chair.
You do here.
Perfect!
Okay, here comes the first jab,
are you ready?
One, two and three!
Okay.
And breathe.
Deep breaths.
That's it.
And here comes the second jab.
One, two and three.
Ok, we're there!
-Just breathe.
-I was starting to enjoy myself.
-How many are there?
-There are lots of good ones.
I considered becoming a doula.
A doula?
A birthing partner, like a helper.
Many people use them now.
Okay, is that a protected title?
Probably not, and it involved
90 weekend classes and an exam.
For something
that should be pretty intuitive:
To show consideration
and say "push, push!"
Shit, so that can become a child?
Ok, careful now.
-Be careful.
-I know.
You've done this before, doctor.
Doctor Elin... Moe.
She's a professional egg hunter.
Aren't you?
God, how wonderful!
We have to celebrate.
Can we...
When are you...
We have to celebrate
before you put that in.
Are you mixing me with Bjørn now?
A little infidelity
in the petri dish.
-Remember to breathe.
-Damn, it's cold!
Just breathe.
What the hell?
Hi, CC, it's Lilly.
I'm at Bien.
I came to pick up my bike.
I saw Elin and someone else come out
and got this feeling...
I don't know, I may be wrong.
But I think Elin just did a procedure
in here. On someone else.
Yes, there are unmarked eggs
in the incubator cabinet
we no longer use.
Hi.
Christ!
Should we call the police?
No.
I'll sort this out.
Try to go back...
Maiken?
Maiken?
Hello?
-Hey.
-Hi, Tobias.
Where's your mom?
She went to bed,
she was exhausted.
CC, she's sleeping.
-Who was that?
-My uncle.
Maiken?
What is it?
What are you up to now?
-What are you and Elin up to?
-I can't deal with this now.
It's legal!
Legal?
Are you completely...
We could be shut down!
People can lose their jobs!
Because I'm not
registered somewhere,
or because
I've only donated eggs to Elin?
Stop playing stupid!
Bien is my life work!
It's our father's life work,
for Christ's sake!
Incredible!
Are you telling me
what's good for dad?
I'm talking about a reputation
Bien has spent years to build.
There are a thousand good things
you can do for dad!
Dad isn't interested in my help!
But I'm interested
in your help with him.
My god!
You come here shouting.
What are you and Elin up to?
Elin is my best friend.
Should I not help her?
Your best friend?
Don't make me laugh. If she's your
best friend, then put your foot down.
Put my foot down?
That was very well put.
You put your foot down!
Why do you come to me talking
about the clinic's reputation?
Why don't you go to her, CC?
Are you afraid?
You know what?
She is so done with you.
You'll never get her back.
What about you, Maiken?
Huh?
Single going on ten years.
It's your fault she can't stop.
You drag her into your
so-called clinic, lay her down,
and stick needles up her chakras!
That's why Elin can't stop!
And one more thing:
I come in here
and this place looks like
an absolute mess!
Like a welfare case lives here!
-You can leave now.
-And Tobias...
-Tobias, is sitting out there...
-Go!
And you lie up in your room
full of needle marks.
Get out of here!
I've heard enough from you!
Good night.
Looking for your eggs?
They have been destroyed.
I'm wondering what to do now.
I could have you arrested, of course.
-But Bien would go down the drain.
-Stop it.
It's so strange.
After everything you and I
have been through over the years.
Everything we've said to each other
and done to each other.
I have never been able, at any time,
to imagine Bien without you.
But now I'm wondering how
to get rid of you, because...
You're going to ruin everything here.
You'll destroy
everything we've built.
And do you know
what the worst part is?
I don't think you care.
You don't give a shit.
-Of course I care.
-You've lost it completely!
You've lost it.
I don't know
if you can continue being a doctor.
We at Bien have decided to say no.
Unfortunately.
I understand if that feels unfair.
But we all know it's highly probable
that Child Services would
take over care.
We don't know that.
We should be allowed to try first.
Mom?
I understand
that is how you think. I get it.
This isn't easy for me.
I see that you love each other
and have a lot to give.
But when you seek help
to have children,
higher demands
are placed on the parents.
This is a couple
with their own home,
stable finances,
and a solid safety net.
They have every possibility
to be successful.
Daily childcare is demanding. You
have had good help all your lives.
But taking care of a child
demands that you be the adults.
And that transition,
it's a huge responsibility.
It can be too difficult.
But that transition is difficult
for everyone.
Do you know anyone who knew exactly
what they were getting into?
Or how life would change?
I had Alexander when I was 19.
A high school dropout
with a mentally-challenged son.
Do you think I had the slightest idea
what I was getting myself into?
What I had
was this incredible love.
The power of which
I had never experienced before.
Which helped me overcome everything.
Do you have children?
-Know what I mean?
-Our ability to love is irrelevant.
-But do you have children?
-Why the hell do you ask?
That's none of your damn business.
Excuse me.
It's time for us to go.
Come.
There's nothing for us here.
Just the same ignorant condemnation
we meet everywhere in life.
I'm sorry.
I really am.
Elin?
I can't stay here any longer.
I have to go, Morten.
I'm not well.
I just have to go.
Hi, Bjørn.
I'll do it.
Huh?
Not that I approve, but
if you're going to cook up a kid,
I'd rather it be mine
than someone else's.
Where are you?
I'm completely finished.
I'm finished.
Hi, Vidar!
You don't know me,
but I knew your mom
back in the old days.
Congratulations on your big day.
When I was confirmed,
my Aunt Bente told me:
"Life is like a chest of drawers.

those drawers with something good."
Christ, I have to do that again.
Oh, it's rolling.

so I'll just try again. Take two.
Elin?
Hi.
I'm Hege's sister.
Yes, of course, I can see that.
I didn't know
you were still in touch?
We aren't really.
But I'm Vidar's godmother.
-So that's why I'm here.
-I see.
It's not a role
I have mastered brilliantly, but...
It's no longer fashionable
to make sure they're brought up
in the Christian faith.
I don't think we'll even bother
having godparents.
Congratulations.
Lovely.
What about you?
How far along the track are you?
I've left the track.
Gone off-piste.
Gone off the beaten path,

-No children.
-Oh, I see.
-But...
-I am a stepmother.
To a girl of twelve.
That's a great age.
Don't tell anyone.
Okay, I see.
That's what it takes
to get through this.
So...
So.
It's been a while.
Yeah.
You just ran off.
I know.
As far as I'm concerned,
you could have made... contact.
You don't hate me?
Not anymore.
I did hate you.
Yeah.
But I have grown up.
Become older.
Yeah.
But...
Oslo.
Any good?
It's at least a little better
than here.
Yeah, it's...
I can see that.
What the hell

Good I met you, then.
Yeah.
Do we still have unsettled business?
Eirik?
Eirik?
There you are.
I think we need some help
with tables and practical things.
Yes, I can take care of that.
Nice to see you again, Elin.
Stella, I can explain everything.
-Let go of me!
-I can explain.
Stella...
-I can explain everything.
-I never want to stay here again!
-Hello, my dear!
-Cut it out.
What a cute little girl!
-Don't!
-Hi, Elin.
Good to see you.
-That was so awesome!
-You'll scare people to death.
-Did you see your mother?
-No, I stayed at a hotel.

Wait for me, girls.
-Bye.
-Wait, I'm coming!
Shit!
-Have you seen this?

Aren't you worried
it might be too much?
Junior high, grades,
puberty, boys...
And practice four times a week?
-Maybe.

-Okay?
-Yup, that's how it is.
-What?
-I don't know...
You don't know what?
Tell me.
I was just wondering if she...
Would she
use someone else's sperm?
And if so, what would be worse?
That she never takes no
for an answer,
or that she has a child
with someone else?
This is cool!
I can't promise
you won't feel anything.
Imagine getting a cocktail like that
every time in this chair.
You do here.
Perfect!
Okay, here comes the first jab,
are you ready?
One, two and three!
Okay.
And breathe.
Deep breaths.
That's it.
And here comes the second jab.
One, two and three.
Ok, we're there!
-Just breathe.
-I was starting to enjoy myself.
-How many are there?
-There are lots of good ones.
I considered becoming a doula.
A doula?
A birthing partner, like a helper.
Many people use them now.
Okay, is that a protected title?
Probably not, and it involved
90 weekend classes and an exam.
For something
that should be pretty intuitive:
To show consideration
and say "push, push!"
Shit, so that can become a child?
Ok, careful now.
-Be careful.
-I know.
You've done this before, doctor.
Doctor Elin... Moe.
She's a professional egg hunter.
Aren't you?
God, how wonderful!
We have to celebrate.
Can we...
When are you...
We have to celebrate
before you put that in.
Are you mixing me with Bjørn now?
A little infidelity
in the petri dish.
-Remember to breathe.
-Damn, it's cold!
Just breathe.
What the hell?
Hi, CC, it's Lilly.
I'm at Bien.
I came to pick up my bike.
I saw Elin and someone else come out
and got this feeling...
I don't know, I may be wrong.
But I think Elin just did a procedure
in here. On someone else.
Yes, there are unmarked eggs
in the incubator cabinet
we no longer use.
Hi.
Christ!
Should we call the police?
No.
I'll sort this out.
Try to go back...
Maiken?
Maiken?
Hello?
-Hey.
-Hi, Tobias.
Where's your mom?
She went to bed,
she was exhausted.
CC, she's sleeping.
-Who was that?
-My uncle.
Maiken?
What is it?
What are you up to now?
-What are you and Elin up to?
-I can't deal with this now.
It's legal!
Legal?
Are you completely...
We could be shut down!
People can lose their jobs!
Because I'm not
registered somewhere,
or because
I've only donated eggs to Elin?
Stop playing stupid!
Bien is my life work!
It's our father's life work,
for Christ's sake!
Incredible!
Are you telling me
what's good for dad?
I'm talking about a reputation
Bien has spent years to build.
There are a thousand good things
you can do for dad!
Dad isn't interested in my help!
But I'm interested
in your help with him.
My god!
You come here shouting.
What are you and Elin up to?
Elin is my best friend.
Should I not help her?
Your best friend?
Don't make me laugh. If she's your
best friend, then put your foot down.
Put my foot down?
That was very well put.
You put your foot down!
Why do you come to me talking
about the clinic's reputation?
Why don't you go to her, CC?
Are you afraid?
You know what?
She is so done with you.
You'll never get her back.
What about you, Maiken?
Huh?
Single going on ten years.
It's your fault she can't stop.
You drag her into your
so-called clinic, lay her down,
and stick needles up her chakras!
That's why Elin can't stop!
And one more thing:
I come in here
and this place looks like
an absolute mess!
Like a welfare case lives here!
-You can leave now.
-And Tobias...
-Tobias, is sitting out there...
-Go!
And you lie up in your room
full of needle marks.
Get out of here!
I've heard enough from you!
Good night.
Looking for your eggs?
They have been destroyed.
I'm wondering what to do now.
I could have you arrested, of course.
-But Bien would go down the drain.
-Stop it.
It's so strange.
After everything you and I
have been through over the years.
Everything we've said to each other
and done to each other.
I have never been able, at any time,
to imagine Bien without you.
But now I'm wondering how
to get rid of you, because...
You're going to ruin everything here.
You'll destroy
everything we've built.
And do you know
what the worst part is?
I don't think you care.
You don't give a shit.
-Of course I care.
-You've lost it completely!
You've lost it.
I don't know
if you can continue being a doctor.
We at Bien have decided to say no.
Unfortunately.
I understand if that feels unfair.
But we all know it's highly probable
that Child Services would
take over care.
We don't know that.
We should be allowed to try first.
Mom?
I understand
that is how you think. I get it.
This isn't easy for me.
I see that you love each other
and have a lot to give.
But when you seek help
to have children,
higher demands
are placed on the parents.
This is a couple
with their own home,
stable finances,
and a solid safety net.
They have every possibility
to be successful.
Daily childcare is demanding. You
have had good help all your lives.
But taking care of a child
demands that you be the adults.
And that transition,
it's a huge responsibility.
It can be too difficult.
But that transition is difficult
for everyone.
Do you know anyone who knew exactly
what they were getting into?
Or how life would change?
I had Alexander when I was 19.
A high school dropout
with a mentally-challenged son.
Do you think I had the slightest idea
what I was getting myself into?
What I had
was this incredible love.
The power of which
I had never experienced before.
Which helped me overcome everything.
Do you have children?
-Know what I mean?
-Our ability to love is irrelevant.
-But do you have children?
-Why the hell do you ask?
That's none of your damn business.
Excuse me.
It's time for us to go.
Come.
There's nothing for us here.
Just the same ignorant condemnation
we meet everywhere in life.
I'm sorry.
I really am.
Elin?
I can't stay here any longer.
I have to go, Morten.
I'm not well.
I just have to go.
Hi, Bjørn.
I'll do it.
Huh?
Not that I approve, but
if you're going to cook up a kid,
I'd rather it be mine
than someone else's.
Where are you?
I'm completely finished.
I'm finished.
