You know how much I love you.

I love you more than anything else
in the whole world.

You're the most important thing
that's ever happened to me.

You've been very fragile
with all this baby stuff...

With the pregnancy and everything.
And...

So I've tried to help you...

You know, take it easy
and feel safe, basically.

Um, so...

There's something
I haven't told you.

Then say it.

I've already got a child.
This is insane.



No, but that's good.
That sounds great.

It's adult, it's mature.

Or I just forget it.
I wouldn't be able to do it.

And what's the alternative?

I'll go to the Bahamas or...

That's very adult. Then you've got
two kids without a father.

Thanks.

THE MEANING OF LIFE

So, the purpose
of this early ultrasound

in week nine is, like I said,
to try to detect a heartbeat.

And if there is, then the chance
that everything will go well

and you can have a baby is over 95%.

Okay, so if this is good now,

we don't need to think
about week 12,



or we don't have to worry about
week 12,

because now is... now, basically.

Yes, exactly.

In practice you will have passed
week 12

in terms of risk of miscarriage.

So, we can start the examination,

if you'd like to
take off your underwear.

Can you stand behind me, here?

There...

That's it. I'll just get...

-Is this good?
-Yeah, it's great.

So, I'm going to examine you a bit.

This is going to be a little cold.

-Just breathe deeply.
-Okay.

Let's see.

So, tell me if it... Mm...

And if you look here...

We can see a little heartbeat,
right here.

What, what do you mean, it's...

-You mean, it...
-Is it...

If you look here, you'll see
there's a little fetus here,

and there's a little heartbeat.

-Really? So it...
-So it's a baby?

Exactly, this is a baby.

It's a... It's a baby.

I love you!

Thank you so much.

Can we get a picture of that?

Yeah, can we take a...
We'll take a...

Of course.

Hugo, can you take yours? No?

Nope.

Good.

-You can turn on the TV, darling.
-Hey, darling.

-Hey.
-Hey, buddy.

Hey, I found some amazing
fucking avocados

that didn't come in packs of two.

I was like, "Oh!"

So it's gonna be like a taco deluxe
cosy dinner tonight, I think.

Mm. You know, I was thinking we
could do cosy dinner out.

Oh?

Or, what do you mean? Out?

-Outside?
-Yeah.

It's just that we always do the
exact same thing,

and it's lovely, but it might be
nice to try something new.

-Yeah...
-The kids can be out in the forest,

and learn to appreciate nature,

and they might think
that's cosy too.

Right.

Yeah, it is.
Cosy, but in the forest.

Sure, it'll be...

It'll be great. It'll be amazing.

-Then I'll go pack.
-Sure.

Wow, awesome. What...

Yeah, what a great idea.

That's our baby, Nico.

I mean, this is our little sweetpea.

Crazy.

I'll see you tonight then.

Yeah.

-What do you mean, "yeah"?
-I just...

-Of course.
-I'm joking. Look...

-Hey! Anna-Lena!
-Hey.

It's been ages.
Yeah, it really has been. Hi.

-Congratulations!
-Thank you.

-Yeah.
-Thank you.

-Just wonderful.
-Maybe you'd like to see.

We've actually just been
to our first ultrasound.

Wow, look!

-That's fantastic.
-We got to see the heartbeat,

it was incredible.

Wow, that's great.

Oh, but hey, sorry.
How's everything with you?

Everything's fine with me.

I've got a sore wrist,
but that'll pass soon.

-That's good.
-I meant with your grandchild.

-Yeah, that's right...
-Nico told me...

Sorry, maybe you don't
want to talk about it.

-Yeah, no, it was...
-It was scary. It was, yeah.

-Yeah, of course.
-But he or she is fine now?

Yes, absolutely.

-Yes, now everything is fine.
-It is?

-Yes, it's fine. So that's nice.
-Very nice.

-But we have to go to work.
-Oh, yeah. Okay, I get it.

-Love you.
-I love you. See you tonight.

-Bye.
-Bye, drive safe.

Okay, tell me.
What was that all about?

Yeah, shit. Sorry. I panicked and
made up a lie about your grandchild.

-I didn't mean to.
-It's okay.

-But you haven't told her?
-No, no, I know.

But you said I should wait
for a less critical time.

So now I've waited out this critical
phase, and I'll tell her. Tomorrow.

Forget waiting for the right moment.
Just rip off the bandaid.

-Yeah!
-Yeah...

Yeah, I will.

There! I see you!

Jack, Hugo, I found you!

But where's Nora? Where's Nora?
Can you see Nora?

No, no. I can't see her.

But darling,
shouldn't we pack this up?

It was a great success,
but maybe it's time to make a move.

-I'm getting fucking cold.
-Already?

What? It's freezing!

-The kids are getting tired.
-No, stop it!

They're overtired.

-What?
-And "Idol" starts soon.

-Stop it. "Idol"?
-Yeah.

We have Play, you know that, right?

Come help look for Nora.
She's disappeared!

-She's sitting right there.
-Where is she? Where's Nora?

-Yeah, where's Nora? Nora?
-Nora?

-See, life can be like this too.
-Yes, sure.

We don't need to do much
to make everything feel different.

Just something like this instead of
just being home like always.

-Yeah.
-We'll remember this.

-And they will too.
-Yes, that's true.

We should get one of those tents
you can just put up.

We could buy one of those
and just went away for the weekend.

-Nora?
-Or on holiday?

-Hol...?
-Yeah! We'll go out into the wild

and forget the fucking
all-inclusive.

-Right.
-It's so fucking easy

to get stuck
doing what you're used to.

-Yeah.
-I want time to be different people.

-Different...?
-Different versions of myself.

You're so bad at searching.

-Oh!
-You're just so good!

-We didn't see you.
-You're so good at hiding.

-Were you there the whole time?
-Listen up, kids!

Let's go home and have
a real cosy Friday night. Hmm?

"Idol" and chips and...

What do you say?

Come on, unlimited screen time
and synthetic sweets.

Hey, I saw something in the forest.

And I'd really love to call Matteo
and ask him about it.

Just really quickly. Is that okay?

Yeah, of course. Call him.

Are you sure?
I don't want it to be weird.

No, Jesus. Just call him?

Promise?

-Just ring him. Or I will.
-Okay.

Ring.

Hello? Hi, it's Ellen.
Am I calling too late?

Oh, good. I have a question.

we were out in the forest
with the family earlier.

And we saw droppings.
First, I thought...

No. No.

No, you can do that if you like.
What do you mean by that?

I'll be a tiny bit late,
see you soon, love you!

-Sorry for waking you up.
-No, that's okay.

And about the mess, but I had
a burst of energy with the nursery.

Oh, no, it's...

No, it's good you did it, you know.

Maybe we can sell some stuff on
Blocket, and start doing things up.

Absolutely.

-Listen, I've been thinking...
-Yeah?

We need to talk about something.

Okay. Actually, will it take more
than three minutes?

-Ellen's coming at four.
-Okay. Uh, yeah...

It'll take longer than that.

-We can talk about it tonight then.
-Okay.

Or is it something serious?

No.

Yeah, I'll be there
in 30 seconds. Okay.

Yeah, I've just left home.

Yes, I have. Yeah, okay, good,
see you soon. Mwah, bye.

See you later. Love you.

Love you.

Where's the picture?

Look! Oh, wow!
That might be the cutest...

-What's that lump?
-It's your little cousin.

-Look.
-What will it's name be?

Well, what do you think?

-Rose.
-Rose?

Well. Well, I'll put it on the list.

But hey, how are you feeling?

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm tired,
but that's normal.

My stomach aches, like period pain,
pretty much all the time.

-But it's...
-That's fine. I had that too.

It's just your womb growing.

Yeah. And my boobs hurt
so fucking much.

-I can't even touch them.
-Wait till you get mastitis.

I think it was with Hugo.
I had such insane mastitis.

-They were like two kettle bells.
-Ow.

Nothing helped. I massaged them,

showered for 40 minutes
in boiling water.

And nothing helped.

Hugo could barely get anything out.

Eventually, Alex had to help me.

Oh. How?

Sucked on my nipples
until it went away.

You're kidding.

I'm never going to get that image
out of my head.

That's special.

How are things between you now?

I think things are pretty good.

We're trying to find a way
to fit my thing in with the family.

-Make some compromises.
-That's good.

It's pretty scary actually.

I don't know.

You know we've started doing cosy
Fridays in the forest.

It's true. With an open fire.

Some fucking fox tried to steal the
kids' nachos. It was fucking wild.

It was a compromise,
but I don't know.

It's gone off the rails.

We're not going on holiday anymore.

No, we're buying a family tent.

Sleep under some fucking pine tree
and eat bark bread. I don't know.

She wants to move into the forest
and live in some hut and...

have an earthen floor.

But seriously...

it feels like...

if I don't support this thing,
this wilderness thing,

she'll feel suffocated.

-And she'll leave.
-No, she won't leave.

-Well, it feels precarious.
-You're exaggerating a bit.

No, I don't know. I don't know.

Come on, Ellen, she's...

She seems much more comfortable
and...

-I know.
-Lays on the couch, drinking wine.

Yeah, well, that's true, actually.

So isn't it just a phase?

Yeah... a phase.

Hey?

Yeah?

I got that job at NK.

What? Really? Congratulations!
Wow, you're awesome!

-Are you sure it's okay?
-Of course.

You've got more training
and everything.

No, come on. That's not how I think
about it, so you really shouldn't.

-Okay.
-Congratulations!

-Oh, good.
-Just promise to keep in touch.

Of course.

Hello?

Hello!

You took your time.

Yeah, there was so much... You know.

You've only got 19 minutes.
Go get ready.

-For what?
-The taxi's here in 19 minutes.

You're having a wine lunch
with Anna and Jenny.

What? Seriously?

Yeah, I've organised it all.
I'll get the kids.

You have to get changed.
Come on, go get changed.

-Really?
-Yes.

-Thank you!
-Of course.

You're the best!

-Well, I'll... Yeah!
-So, you have to get changed.

-I'll go upstairs.
-Yeah...

-Alva?
-Yes?

I heard Amanda told you about the
new job.

Yeah. Good for her!

Mm. Great for her, but sad for us.

Yes, truly.

But it's hard to hold onto
good staff, that's life.

-Mm.
-So, here are some applications.

Can you go through and get rid of
anyone without sales experience?

-Yep.
-Good.

I'm really happy you're staying,
anyway.

So there's some continuity
and flow in the business,

while we're training someone new.

Mm. Well, I won't be here
for much longer either.

No? Why not?

I'm actually pregnant.

Whoa. Congratulations.

-Thank you.
-Great.

When are you due?

Yeah, well. Around... half a year.

-A bit more, seven months.
-Well, that's good.

We'll have time to find
a replacement, anyway.

Good for you. Congratulations.

Thanks, Janne.

-Hello.
-Hey, it's Angelica.

How are you?

I'm good. I'm doing well.
How are you?

Good. I just wanted to ask you,
or rather...

-Harry wanted to ask you something.
-Okay.

They've got one of those
parent days at school

where you go and talk
about your job.

He wants his cool police dad
to come instead of me.

Okay.

If you can. It's kind of short
notice. It's Thursday.

-Um...
-It would be nice if you could.

Um, well...

That thing is that I have to
tell Alva,

about this whole thing tonight.

-It might be a bit much for her...
-Yeah, I get it.

No, God, it's so fine,
I just thought I'd ask,

so you could see, or, yeah...

But I'd really like to.

-Maybe next time, you know.
-Mm.

What did he say?

Is Harry there?

Um... yeah.

Um... Can I talk to him a bit,
maybe?

Yeah, of course. Just a minute.

Do you want to say hey?

-Yes.
-Okay.

-Hey.
-Hey, Harry. How are you?

Good.

Are you coming to school?

Well... I really want to come.

But I have so much going on at work.

It's... Yeah, it's a bit hard.

I can't on Thursday. But I really
want to next time if that's okay.

Okay, that's fine.

That's fine, right?

-Hello.
-Oh, hi. Yeah.

I told him I'd love to come
next time.

-If that's okay.
-Yeah. That's so fine, of course.

It's just a bit hard right now.
But of course I'd love to come.

Yeah, no, of course. I get it.
And it's short notice.

It's totally fine. Of course.
Anyway...

I won't bother you any more.
Talk soon.

Yeah, talk soon. Great.

-Okay.
-Yes.

Bye.

Yeah, bye.

-Huh!
-Hey!

Congratulations.

Here he is.

-Wow. Shit. He's so cute!
-He's so damn cute.

-Soon it'll be your turn.
-Yeah, exactly.

-There's not long to go.
-No.

-That's right.
-Aw, little buddy.

Hello!

-Hey.
-Hey. How was it?

-Yeah, it was great.
-Yeah?

-Thank you so much, darling.
-Great.

-Great. Tell me. Was it crazy?
-Yeah, it was pleasant.

Oh? Not so crazy then. What is it?

It just feels stupid.

You planned it all so nicely and...

Yeah, but that doesn't matter.

-Did something happen?
-No, nothing happened.

It was just... I don't know,
it's not like...

We don't have much in common
anymore.

-Oh?
-Yeah, I don't know.

To start with,
they're getting remarried.

Jenny and Johan.

-With a priest and everything.
-Wow.

Does anything scream crisis
louder than that?

And is there anything lamer
than forced declarations of love?

It was the same old conversations
about kids and work.

A few months ago,
I was like that too.

Yeah, exactly.

I couldn't stop thinking about

how much I'd rather be at this
butchery course, for example.

Mm. What butchery course?

It's a weekend course,
the weekend after next.

I got a newsletter about it,
I thought it sounded fun.

I was actually going to ask you
if you could have the kids.

Mm. Yeah. Yeah, of course I can.
Of course you should do it.

Thank you.
Thank you for understanding.

-Oh yeah, I have to go.
-Where are you going?

Some old lady found Hubbe.

Well, I think she did anyway.

-So I have to go see if it's him.
-Oh.

So, can you get Hugo
from floor ball, do you think?

-But you've got the car.
-Yeah.

-What, do I get the bus?
-Yeah.

There are heaps of stops.
It'll take hours.

Maybe get him on the way to rabbit
lady?

No, I don't want to. I don't want
Hugo in the car when I'm there.

If it's not Hubbe, he'll be so
fucking disappointed.

And it's in the wrong direction.
So it won't work.

-Where is it?
-In Huddinge.

Oh... he couldn't have gotten
that far.

Is it really worth checking?

Yes, of course I have to see
if it's Hubbe.

He's got a spot
in the exact same place, so...

But, like, every second rabbit
has those spots.

What is it with you? Do you not want
it to be Hubbe or something?

Yes, of course I do.

But...

What?

Do you know it's not Hubbe,
or what is it?

No, how could I know that?

Yeah, how could you know that?
But I can tell something's going on.

-Listen, don't...
-What are you laughing at?

Stop! I don't know,
but you're looking at me.

-What is it?
-Okay. I'm going to sit here.

I'll wait until you've told me
what the hell this is about.

-What? There's nothing to say.
-Okay, then I'll wait.

Okay. It...

Hubbe...

Hubbe is dead.

-What?
-But it was an accident.

Hubbe's dead?

-Yes.
-Why the hell didn't you tell me?

I mean, I don't know how to
say this without...

you getting the wrong idea, but...

-but it was a total accident.
-Hubbe died by accident?

I managed to...

I aimed at him with Polly's rifle
after that fucking dinner, and...

-What?
-I had no idea it was loaded.

Did you shoot Hubbe?

-Yes, by accident.
-By accident?

Yes, by accident.

How the hell do you shoot a rabbit
by accident?

And you're going to be
a fucking hunter.

Yes, but it's not the same thing.

What's going on with you?

I don't know who the hell you are
anymore.

-Okay...
-I don't care. I can't deal with it.

Alex?

We've agreed.
Can I show you the wallpaper?

Yes, I think so too.

Peach? Are you serious?

Are you serious?

Excuse me one second.

-That's so fucking boring.
-What now?

Ow, fuck.

What the hell? No...

Fuck.

Shall we take the tunnel
or go via South Mälarstrand?

I don't know.

-Hey, darling.
-I don't know what happened.

I don't know what happened. I
was at work and I started bleeding.

And I... I don't know,

but I went to the toilet,
and there was heaps of blood.

I don't know.

Listen, I'll come straight away.

It'll be okay.

-Love you.
-Bye.

Hi! Are you Alva? Take a seat.

-You're here due to bleeding?
-Yes.

When did it start?

-At work, a little while ago.
-At work...

-Does it hurt?
-Yeah, my back and stomach.

Okay, we'll do some tests,
and then you'll see the doctor.

We'll look after you, Alva.

Kanti will look after you.
I'll be back in a minute.

Are you okay?

Hey.

Hey, darling.
