HAVE YOU SEEN HUBBE?

Hubbe!

-Hubbe!
-Hubbe!

Over at Bernt and Lena's,
there's an electrical box.

-Put one there too.
-Hubbe!

-Is it Alva?
-Yeah.

How long are you going to
keep this up? Why not just pick up?

I know, I know. I just...

I just can't
deal with her right now.

I'm so fucking tired
of being the boring one.

And she's so fucking special.



She's pleasant and nice,
but what the hell,

she's not exactly some mystical,
fairy tale creature.

Come on.

Now let's find
that fucking rabbit. Come on.

Hubbe!

THE MEANING OF LIFE

Hugo! This side of the road.
There might be cars. Come on.

IS IT ME YOU WANT TO SHOOT?

-Hi!
-Oh, hi! How are things?

Good. How about you?
Wait a second.

For the road.

I don't know why,
but I'm hungry all the time.

I would have been a terrible
Survivor participant.

Constantly hungry.



I was like that all the time
in early pregnancy.

Dimitri had to get up in the middle
of the night and make me sandwiches.

Sweet.

-You're looking a bit sneaky?
-No.

No? Really?

Are you pregnant?

Really? That's great!

It's really early.
Nobody knows, not even you.

We'll have the best mum dates.
How lovely.

If you want,
you guys can swing by tonight.

We can have dinner.

-Yes, we'd love to!
-Great!

Let me know what to bring and...

-No, we'll fix everything.
-Around five pm?

-Oh, hi!
-Hey.

Hi.

I was walking past and realised
I should get some new stuff.

A sofa, maybe,
one of these 200,000 kronor sofas.

It actually costs 187,500
and then...

-Bargain.
-Depending on the upholstery.

Do you have it in suede?
What's a good choice?

Yeah, we can do that.

-Suede's nice.
-I'll go get a sample.

Wait, I just want to test it out.
Is it comfortable?

Or is it too soft?
What do you think?

Come and try it with me.

It depends on how...

-How...?
-How you're built, you know.

Okay.

-You have long legs, so...
-Maybe you have an extra big one.

Right. Yeah...

Is this raw linen?
It's really comfy.

How are things with you?
Everything good?

Yeah, it's... it's...

Yeah, things are good.
It's... all good.

Nice.

I'll go get those samples,

so you can feel them.

I've got such bad anxiety
for not having told Alva.

But I just can't.

Either she's super excited
about the baby and all that,

and I don't want to ruin that.

Or she's feeling terrible
and paranoid about the baby.

And then I can't stress her
with this thing.

Or her hormones are upside down.
She lays in bed, totally wrecked.

How can I...? You know.

And now
she's fighting with her sister.

Really?

It's a bad time
to put more shit on her.

That's exactly what I'm saying.

It's okay.
You're doing the best you can.

It's not okay. I feel
like the world's worst person.

You want to tell her and
you're trying to find a good time

so she won't get stressed, right?

-Well, yeah...
-Right?

She can't stand the smell of coffee,
so I have to finish this.

Just as long as you don't
need to go pee constantly.

-Hi.
-Hey.

-My license has arrived.
-Congratulations.

This is great!

-Should we look at some rifles then?
-Well, I'm meant to be working.

Come on!
It's not life or death, right?

No, I don't think
anyone's life depends on it.

Baby, take me right now.

No, can't we wait until you close?

Cut it out!

Who was he?

Just an old school friend.

Right. I'm like that
with all my old school friends too.

Sexy vibes.

Stop it!

By the way, can you cover for me?
I've got a job interview.

Oh? What for?

NK Design.

I've got a friend who works there
and they've got the best benefits.

Nice.

This might sound a bit crazy, but...

I've also applied.

-What?
-It was before I knew about this.

-Of course.
-We'll keep a bit of a low profile.

-Have you been there?
-Not yet.

I'm waiting for them to call.

Wow, awesome.
Talk to you later, then. Bye!

Yeah, hi! NK Design, please.

-It's hard to know what's good.
-It really is.

I know I like Heinz
and not Eldorado,

but what's the Heinz of guns?

I don't know. It's tricky.

Remington! I recognise that.

Kind of Michael Caine, British lord.

Feels safe that you're making this
purchase based on movie references.

I have to go off something.

A "Savage".

That feels very Jerk.

If he doesn't hunt
with hand grenades.

What about this?

Yeah, it feels good.

How about we celebrate
with a beer later?

I'm not going to be able
to afford it after this.

It's okay, my shout.

-I'll just check in at home.
-Do that. Check in.

It was delicious. And fun.

It's perfect that you're
a few months behind us

so we can have
a running donation chain of things

we'll give straight to you.
That's awesome!

Yeah. It'll be like a subscription
service without a time limit.

-Exactly.
-Every month.

It's great. Awesome.

So, have you thought
about names at all?

Uh... Let's tell them.

Yeah. But you have to promise
not to take it.

-Can we promise that?
-Fine.

We think Jack's really nice.

That's actually
the only name we... No, I'm joking.

My sister's son is called Jack
so we won't use it,

but it's lovely.

Oh, how nice that you have a sister.
I've always wanted a sister.

I have a brother but he's
12 years older and we don't speak.

Are you close?

Yeah, we're really close,
actually...

Yeah, you are. You're really close.

-That's great.
-So nice.

We thought we'd put the bed here
later when he gets a bit older.

-That sounds so nice.
-Thanks.

Now we're just waiting for the pram.

-Should we show it to them?
-Yeah.

-Have you bought one?
-It's that one.

Oh, wow! That's awesome.
Well, it looks great, anyway.

-We think so.
-It looks good.

Yeah, it is.
And like... It looks sturdy.

It's super sturdy.
The chassis is robust.

And the tyres
are also puncture-proof.

-That's great.
-Can you send us the link?

Yeah, please do.

14,000.

I know! For a pram!
It's completely insane.

-We're not expecting the Messiah.
-No.

There are some on eBay too.

They've really gone all in.

But at the same time...

It's a bit weird.

It's a bit unhealthy
to be so paranoid before you...

Do you know what I mean?
Should we buy that pram?

-No, we shouldn't.
-14,000.

No, no, no.

Hey, what are you watching?

I dunno.

-Hi, baby.
-Hi.

-Have you had a beer?
-Yeah.

Oh, that's fun.

Here.

So, who have you
been drinking beer with?

With Matteo.

Matteo? Who's that?

From the hunting course.

Oh. Right. I don't think
you've talked about him.

I think you talked about Jerk,
but I don't know about Matteo.

Yes. Yes, I have.

Or if I didn't, it's...

I don't know.
There's not that much to say.

No...

But you drank beer together.

Oh, stop it.

We bumped into each other
and decided to have a beer.

-Of course.
-Mum! Come!

Great.

SOMEONE'S EXCITED ABOUT SATURDAY.
YOU COMING?

Alva?

-Alva?
-Yeah.

Are you working on Saturday?

I'm going to that interview,
you know.

Oh right.

I was just thinking
I might meet up with a friend then.

Yeah, of course you should.

Who?

Just Rasmus.

Nice.

Hey, can you come here?

-Just come here.
-Okay.

Come.

What's that for?

It's because I love you.

I love you.

Wait, just let me finish something.

Hurry up.

-Hi.
-Hi.

Hey.

-You know what I'm in the mood for?
-No.

-I'm not in the mood.
-What?

I'm not in the mood.

-Is that okay?
-Yeah, it's okay.

Good night.

Good night.

Jack, do you want some more?

Do you want some more?
Jack, answer me.

-Jack.
-What? No, I'm good.

Honey, eat some more.

No, Mum, I'm playing.

-Is that a friend, Mum?
-Let's see.

-Hi.
-Hi. You're early.

-Where do you want it?
-I'll show you.

Who is it, Mum?

I was thinking here.

That works great.

Shouldn't we
have made this decision together,

buying a 300 kg gun cabinet?

Yeah, maybe it was
a bit spontaneous.

Yeah, it does feel
a bit spontaneous.

But you need a gun cabinet
if you're going to have guns at home.

Otherwise it's illegal.

But that's the point,

that you think we should have guns
at home in our hallway.

Yeah, where else would he have them?

They're not loaded,
they'll be taken apart.

Yeah... What's this about?

It was one of the smaller ones.
The others were much bigger.

That's not what I mean.
What is this?

What's going on with you?
What's the deal?

Maybe I'm having a crisis.

-You're having a crisis?
-Yes.

-I am.
-Okay, fine.

-Maybe I'm having a crisis too.
-You're not.

What do you know?

Maybe I want to pierce my cock
and go to a rave, but I'm not!

I'm the one having a crisis now.
I'm the one in crisis, not you.

We can't do it at the same time.
You have to wait your turn.

-When is it my turn?
-I don't know. I'll let you know.

Thanks, that's nice of you.

It just feels like this
is symbolising something else.

Is it me
you actually want to shoot, but...

Are you sure you want
the answer right now?

Mum?

I'm coming.

-Hi.
-Hi.

-Are you finding what you're after?
-Sure.

-Are you looking at this?
-Yeah.

It's one of our most popular models.
It's the best, quite frankly.

-Really?
-Yes, it has everything.

It feels so nice to push...

Hold on, do you want
to give it a test drive? Here.

-I'll hold that for you.
-Thanks.

-Should I gift wrap this?
-No, that's for me.

-You know...
-Right, the baby.

I know it seems really early
to buy a pram now

but there can be
several months' wait on them.

I know it's crazy expensive,

but it was so nice and I got other
things 'cause I ordered it today.

It's so good. She folded it up
and it was this small.

And it's got special suspension,

so the baby
will sleep through everything.

You can run with it on cobblestones
without waking them.

That's good.
I'm very concerned about that.

Now you don't have to be.

Great.

-Okay. Six month payment plan.
-Yes.

-And interest.
-Inter... Well...

Yeah, there's always some interest.
I don't know.

But I think it's better
to take the blow now,

because later we'll be on parental
leave and won't have as much money.

Plus I've got a good feeling
about this new job.

Is it shitty of me to apply for it?

I mean for Amanda.

-You've told her you're going to?
-Yes.

Then it's fine.

I just think it's bad timing to get
a new job when you're pregnant.

-Excuse me?
-I didn't mean...

What do you mean?
What kind of 1800s mindset is that?

-No, it was...
-Exactly.

Employers have no right
to ask about it.

Women have been oppressed
within the workplace forever,

so I'm fucking it up for them a bit.
Well, not fucking up, but...

It's a woman's right to be able to
apply for a job when she's pregnant.

Of course. Yes.

-Exactly.
-Yeah.

-You don't want any more?
-No, I can't.

I have to go now.

-And you were going to...?
-What?

-You were going out for a coffee?
-Yeah.

-With Rasmus.
-Exciting. Love you.

Okay. Good luck!

-You're going to kill it.
-Thanks.

I promise.

-I'll call you after.
-Yeah.

-Love you.
-Love you.

Well, you have
the right background for this.

We value thorough knowledge.
It's what we're all about.

Here's some coffee.

Lovely. Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Where were we?

We're very careful in making
sure all our employees

have a genuine interest
and really develop themselves.

We stimulate that as well,

sending our employees
on various trips,

like to the furniture fair in Milan.

Then we have...

Wait a minute, Milan? Wow! Amazing!

Yes, it is a bit wow.

And then we have
several other nice benefits too.

We have a wellness benefit
that is something really special.

And we also have...

Excuse me,
I just got some air in my throat.

Is everything okay?

Okay.

So, um...

Every year, I was going to say,
we have a huge...

Is there anything I can do for you?

I just have to ask.
Do you have a bathroom or something?

Yes, we have a little bathroom.

It's just outside to the right,
at the end of the corridor.

Hey?

Are you okay?
Is there anything I can do?

No, sorry. I'm fine.

Okay, just call me otherwise.
I'm just outside.

If it's any comfort, it usually
gets better after the first 12 weeks.

Thanks.

Hey, babe. How did it go?

I threw up in their bathroom.

Oh no.

Damn.

You poor thing.
Where are you now?

Still here.

In the bathroom.

Can you come get me?

Hello?

Well...

Something's happened, actually.

What?

No, well... Um...

Anna-Lena is in the emergency room.

What's happened?

No, her grandchild
is in the emergency room.

How awful!

Yes, it's really awful.

So I thought I'd go there.

I don't think her husband is home,

so I thought I'd... go be with her.

Of course you should.

-Are you sure?
-Yes.

I'm sorry.
I'd have come otherwise, but...

Daddy!

-Talk to you later.
-Okay.

-Good. Love you.
-Love you.

-Hey.
-Hey.

-Hey.
-Hi.

Wow! What a pro.

I know.

"I know"?

Cocky.

Want to start so you don't get cold?

-Hi.
-Hey.

-How are things?
-Good. A bit much, but it's fine.

-Nice that you came.
-It's nice to be here.

-Hey.
-Hi. Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine,
but can you come get me from NK?

-Hi.
-Hi.

How are you?

Yeah, well...

Quite good
other than the throwing up.

Hey, that stuff with Polly...
You know how she is.

She's always carried on like that,
for absolutely no reason.

Forget her.

That's easy for you to say.

I'm so fucking tired of being
the boring one in the family,

while you get the be the fantastic,
unique one.

It's all I have.

You've got all the rest.

A good job, a decent salary,
a beautiful family,

probably a good interest rate
on your home-loan.

I'm not so sure
of that family thing anymore.

It feels pretty weak right now.

It's weak because you're weak.

I mean, Alex loves you so much.

If you want to live with him,
you have to make it work.

-It's not that simple.
-Nothing's simple.

How easy do you think it is for me
to feel like a failed designer...

Yeah, but you're not chained
to your kids all day long.

No, I'm not. I've got
the life of fucking teenager

compared to all my friends
who are buying houses and cars.

Enjoy it while you can.

I'm terrified every second
about how this will go.

It's like my whole life
is hanging by a thread.

You're fucking stupid.

What's this? Has Hubbe run away?

Uh... Yeah, kind of.

What do you mean, kind of?

Yeah, something like that.

Why are you being so weird?

-I'm not being weird.
-Yes, you are.

I shot him.

-What?
-I shot him.

-Why?
-I didn't mean to.

Well... Fuck, I don't know.

You're insane.
You shot Hubbe Bubbe?

I'm the world's worst mother.

-No.
-Yes, I am.

I am!

Everyone else can handle it.

Just love their kids and...

feel like it's enough.

That all that matters in their life
is that the kids are happy.

But I just fuck my family up.

And execute their pets.

If I'm completely honest...

How fun do you think it is to live
in a cage day in and day out?

-What?
-You did him a favour.

-No...
-Yes.

You kind of did.

And I'd love
to have you as a mum.

Listen...

I'm so silly.

You were right.
He's the best on the team.

I told you!

He's so happy you're here.

Really?

Good! Come on!

HOW ARE ANNA-LENA AND HER GRANDCHILD?

Hey!

You know
I don't want to shoot you, right?

Right?

I mean...

I don't know how to say this, but...

It's just that...

I also want to get to be...
the new me.

The new Ellen.

The Ellen that I am.

Yeah. I understand.

Of course I understand.

It's good.

It's healthy to have something
outside the family.

I understand that too.

It's more that this hunting thing...

You don't let me in even an inch.
It's just a brick wall.

I'm sorry. I will be better.

And I know
I don't have a monopoly on crises.

You can have a crisis sometimes.

That's lucky.

What do you want? A motorbike?

-Can I?
-No, you can't.

Okay.

You can get something smaller.
Like a new badminton racket.

-The most expensive one!
-Well, that's generous.

I am pretty generous. Sometimes.

You're the best.

You're the best.

Hey, babe. Hi.

-Hi.
-How are you feeling?

Yeah, a bit better now.

But you won't see me at NK
in the future.

Really?

It was so undignified.

You poor thing.

Sorry I didn't... I couldn't.

I really wanted
to pick you up, but... Sorry.

Don't worry about it.

But how's her grandchild?

It's fine.
Well, it's stable, you know.

It wasn't a big deal.

It was very scary, the whole thing.

Of course.

I'm glad it's better,
but what happened?

Some stomach thing, I think.

I didn't want to ask too much,
so I don't know what it was exactly.

Of course.
I'm glad it's better, though.

Yes.
Shall we have a look at the app?

-Sure. I've already had a peek...
-You have?

Okay. Mean.

Let's see...
