The Restaurant (2017–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - Hoppet - full transcript

Have you seen her again?
Nina.

Mrs. Rehnski?ld is at home!

- You could have told me.
- Yes, I should have.

I do what I want
And now I want a drink!

- That's enough.
- Stop! I hate you!

Norrmalm district renovation,
Is it familiar to you?

Should we run a restaurant
next to a construction site?

Damn you.

- May l...?
- You can stay here.

Calle has risen to the challenge.

It's too much responsibility for
a kid like him!



Two beef steaks and a plaice!

Holger will take charge of the kitchen.

Take it as a compliment.
You have an ass worth spanking.

We need you, Maggan.
don't give up.

I am applying for the position of president.

It's an agreement in which you
transfer to me your part of
Djurg?rdsk?llaren.

I will never accept it!

Your daughter fell out the window!
You must take her to a doctor.

- What did you do to her?
- She was in a bush under the window!

A taxi to Lokev?gen 8, Djursholm.

It's urgent.

Hurry up!

OUR TIME IS NOW

Episode 10:
HOPE



But is he completely crazy?

I will challenge the agreement. I wasn't
in my right mind when I signed it.

-Why is he bringing it up right now?
-Because I was against the
restaurant in Klara.

- I was against that too!
- Don't you dare give in.

With my share he owns 40%,
like you.

Of course you should get your share back!

- You have to talk to him.
- I most certainly will!

But you, me, Gustaf and Nina must
talk about the future of Djurg?rden.

Just tell us when.

Hello! I need a doctor!

Sorry! Is that the girl?

- What her name?
- Christina.

You'll soon be well again.
You will rest in a nice bed.

- Can you tell me what happened?
- She climbed onto a table and fell.

- How are you?
- Well, I'm worried!

- Can we contact the girl's father?
- He's working, better not disturb him.

Take little Christina to 5,
I'll be there soon.

First we're just going
to examiner her.

- Mom will be coming soon!
- Come with me.

- Attention!
- Food in the door!

The steaks are a little thin.
You should make them 3 or 4 mm thicker.

A little more.

- What's up with that?
- They're a little thin.

They are perfect.
At Cecil we do it like this.

- Here we make them a little thicker.
- Are you talking to yourself?

No, I'm talking to him and you.

You WILL call address me as Chef.

I apologize, Chef.

If you make them thick,
they will cost us more.

- Backe makes them thicker, Chef.
- Backe isn't here. Now I am the Chef.

Yes, Chef.

You seem to have a lot of opinions
on how this kitchen should be run.

Maybe I should give you responsibility
more in line with your scale.

What do you say? You can cut
potatoes, meat and sausages.

And you can do it however you want.

What do you say about that?

Sure, with pleasure, Chef.

Well!

So we get the chicken out!

Two baked goose livers.
Enjoy your meal.

- I applied for the presidency.
- No, you're kidding!

If I am chosen
it will be something else.

We will tell the working women
in restaurants. You will win easily!

- Have you started writing a speech?
- Don't talk about it, please.

I am terrified of speaking in public.

You will have to get used to it
President Nilsson.

- Did they bother you anyway?
- We need to talk. Follow me

First let me explain that Christina
was very difficult this morning.

I dont want to listen.

- How is she?
- There is no danger.

I've had a long conversation
with the doctor ... about you.

Me?

Your abuse must be investigated.

- What abuse?
- Enough Nina!

What does it take for you to wake up?

Christina could have died!

You have to understand that I
looked away for only a few seconds.

And ... she was very bored.
You know how it gets. And I was alone.

Windahl called the police and said
they found Christina in a bush.

And that you were passed out!

I will stop drinking.
I promise!

And the drugs? That little
case you keep in the bathroom?

Are you so naive that
You think I'm taking drugs. "

No, that wasn't what I thought.
I didn't want to think anything.

I've been damn naive
and it almost cost Christina his life.

The doctor and I have decided that you should
stay in the hospital.

What do you mean? Erik!

- It's the best.
- You can't leave me here. Erik!

Don't leave me!

Erik, don't leave me!

don't leave Me.

- Do you want black or brown?
- Black, lined.

- Do you want something from the PUB?
- No.

- How are you?
- Good, but the chef is an idiot.

Lennart.

- Holger?
- He's a bit heavy handed.

- With whom?
- With me.

He wants to show that he's the boss.

Everyone thinks you are better.

Gustaf L?wander likes Holger.

Holger is only temporary, right?
Right.

Splinter likes you, you know.

Yeah but I feel like I'm ready
for something more than this.

You are only 25 & you're the best
chef in Stockholm. You should be
satisfied with that.

I know. You're right.

So we're going?
See you. Goodbye.

Hi.

- How are you?
- Fine, but I can't go home.

It seems absurd!

- What happened?
- I fell asleep for a moment.

And Christina climbed a chair,
got onto a table and fell
out the window.

I know it's terrible, & I'm ashamed
but it could have happened to anyone.

- Mom said something about an addiction.
- It's ridiculous!

I ran a jazz club and tried several
things, but I'm not an addict.

No...

Erik stuck his nose in my things, found
something and associates it with the accident.

But the two aren't connected at all.

Gustaf, you have to help me.

- What I can do?
- Talk to the doctors, mom, I don't know!

I need to get out of here!

What happens if you leave here?

They send me to Venngarn. (Institute of
drug rehab)

- I'll talk to the doctor.
- Thank you.

Don't worry. We'll solve this.

But I also need your help.
It's about the restaurant.

"Honorable companions!
Welcome to the annual meeting of ... "

"We must evaluate the work that
we have before us. "

In front ... in front of us.

- What is it about?
- Maggan is running for president.

Are they having difficulties
finding someone?

I'll look for topics that are important
to women.

Well! Cheer up!

"Honorable companions! I feel
proud and privileged ... ", no.

- "I feel proud and privileged ..."
- Keep going!

- I'll never make it!
- Yes!

Don't be like that! It was a great start.
Wasn't it?

No.

Yes it was.

We've hear those phrases thousands
of times. They're worse than
sleeping pills.

I liked it.
But your voice is very monotonous.

Food in the door!

- Will this stay like this?
- Yes, Chef.

The chunks are too big.
You have to do it again.

- Do this shit again!
- Yes, Chef.

- You live in Sibirien, huh?
- No longer.

But your mother does, huh?
Take this to her. She must
not be very fat.

Chef!

I quit!

Back to work!
Let's go now!

- Good evening.
- Hello.

You've already started?
I thought the meeting was at 8pm.

We were just chatting.

Can you give us five minutes?

You may be wondering
what were we talking about before you arrived.

Well we've been bad at listening
to what you have to say.

- I'm glad you admit it.
- But we can improve.

Obviously, we will move forward
with the topic of separate showers
and changing rooms.

In return, we would like you
not to apply for the position
of president.

It was too good to be true.

We think only about what's
best for the association.

If you are chosen,
which I strongly doubt ...

You're afraid that I could be
chosen. Otherwise you wouldn't
offer me this trade off.

If you were chosen, the entire
board would be against you.

There would be conflicts and fights.
It would not benefit our members.

Of course not,
it wouldn't be nice.

Then we will need other
candidates for the board.

Please, Margareta.
Think carefully about what you do.

Many women are tired of the
Union's doing nothing for them.

Your position only serves to increase
your self esteem.

The job as president is not paid.

I'm not so sure. You go out often
to eat and drink.

Do you think you can do it?
You are a single mother.

You can do anything
if you are angry enough.

I think of your son
since you don't.

It's precisely about him that I think,.
and about the world he will grow up in.

A more equal world, I hope.

But above all, I hope
I'm not like you

Should we start the meeting, or not?

Hi.

Hello!
Are you home already?

I've quit.

- What?
- I can't take it anymore.

- We spoke yesterday. Did
something else happen?
- I don't want to talk about it.

- don't worry. I'll find something else.
- Not with the same salary.

- Should I let Holger abuse me?
- I didn't mean that.

But we counted on that salary
when we rented this apartment.

I said I'll find something else!

- Here, take this.
- I just have to see Helga and Gustaf.

The best dressed always
has an advantage.

What? What is it?

Don't you want this?

- Have you thrown clothes away?
-Yes.

You could have asked me.

- Were they from Suzanne?
-Yes.

- Why did you keep them?
- I didn't, it's just ...

If I'm living here, I don't want
things that remind me
of your ex-girlfriend.

No, you're right.

So, now you're ready.

As you remember, Peter had a breakdown
while he was director.

Because his wife eloped with someone else.

I'm here, Gustaf.
Talk to me.

I took over the restaurant.
Peter wanted to pursue law.

We signed an agreement where
I acquired his part
of the restaurant.

- That is a lie.
- That's a lie?

Didn't you want to dedicate yourself to the law?

I never wanted to sell my share.

I don't even remember signing it.
It wasn't in me, and you know it very well.

You were a little depressed
but you could still read, right?

Unbelieveable.
How dare you, Gustaf?

Suzanne had just left me. I had
gotten drunk and taken sleeping pills.

Ah, did you sign while you were sleeping?

This agreement is not valid.

Other lawyers don't agree with you.

You should be ashamed. Without
Peter, we would not have the
Djurg?rdsk?llaren today.

Oh my God!
This is how you see it!

No, this is how it is.

I ran the restaurant during the war.
Almost all of our colleagues went bankrupt.

I made sure to keep it on top
and thanks to me we came out intact.

I went to prison for this
restaurant, and when I came out
Peter had taken it from me.

What do you want to get
out of this, Gustaf?

Peter will have his share of
the restaurant. Break that contract!

- It's not you who decides!
- Now calm down!

Nothing I've ever done has
been good enough for you.

I've spent my whole life trying
to satisfy you. It was futile.

- This is getting nowhere.
- No, you are very right.

Not even my 20% helps you.

You have 40% like mom,
and the remaining vote decides it.

So finally
she will decide.

No.

What does "no" mean?

I have a power of attorney from
Nina. So I have 60% of the votes.

- Has Nina given you a power of attorney?
- Yes, last night.

I'm the only one in the family who cares
about her. We help each other.

You really have no shame.

No. It's one of the many defects
that you usually point out to me, Mom.

Attention!

General!
Good to see you up!

What? Much more is needed to
take down an old elephant like me!

- Of course. There are no such men anymore.
- Of course yes!

don't worry! The Swedish Royal Army
she has soldiers of the best temperament.

It's a great pleasure to see you again.
Let me escort you to your table.

- Now we have to fight.
- I've already lost, Peter.

- Why?
- When your father died I had a goal.

It was to keep the family united.

And instead we will finish
in a courtroom.

It's not your fault mom.
You've done everything you could.

Did I?

In fact, did we?

Good day, Nina.
How are you?

I am locked up.
What you think?

Can I help you with anything?

Can you get me out
Otherwise, you can go.

- How is Christina?
- Did you come to push me lower?

I already feel a great guilt.

- I'm here because I care about you.
- And you're starting now?

Nina, you are an adult.
You put yourself in this situation.

- Why did you give the power to Gustaf?
- That's why you came.

No, I came because I care about you.

I have never been free
to choose my life.

You have chosen it all the time.

I chose the life that you wanted,
and it has made me incredibly unhappy.

Nina! I told you clearly
the options you had.

You were scared.
That was my idea, I admit it.

You were born with a silver spoon in your
mouth, and you can't live without it.

- You chose the silver spoon.
- How can you be so tough?

I've had to be to keep the
family and the restaurant together.

Maybe it made me a worse mother. Should
have read you more fairy tales.

Who knows, maybe Christina
wouldn't have fallen out the window.

You're right.

I'm just a spoiled addict.

Fix your life before it's
too late. And nullify the
power of attorney.

I will never do it.

Goodbye.

Hi.

Chef! Welcome!

- Holger?
- The director asked me to help.

- I certainly couldn't turn it down.
- Yes ...

Glad to see you again!

- Where is Svensson? Calle?
- He quit.

- What? Why?
- Maybe he couldn't keep up.

- What can I get you?
- Good day!

I can't find
the fillet with onions.

- Can it be done?
- I'll ask in the kitchen. And for drink?

I think I recognize you, miss.
We have seen each other before?

- Maybe you've been here before?
- It's not the first time.

- I'm a student, I couldn't afford it.
- Then we will serve you well.

- I had an exam today. I want to celebrate.
- I hope you did well.

Now I know! You were involved
in that union conflict.

- Are you still active in the Union?
- I requested the presidency of my group.

- Good luck!
- Thanks, I'll need it.

The worst part is that
I have to give a speech.

I am active within the student union,
so I have given several speeches.

I'll get you something to drink in the meantime
Can you think of any advice to give me?

- A beer, thanks.
- Of course.

I will give you some advice now. Talk about
something that is very close to your heart.

About your own experiences.
Then the other will respond, naturally.

Thank you.

- That guy is good.
- You'll starve him to death with all the talk.

- Do you remember what his name was?
- Palme, I think. Ulf, or Olof.

- Hello!
- Hello.

- Hi dear.
- Hello.

- I feel much better now.
- All right.

The staff is
wonderfully helpful.

I am very happy to have the opportunity
to get my life back on track.

I'm glad you see it like this.

- Do you know when I can go home?
- Not yet. It will take time.

Shall we sit?

I was at the boat show
in the Marmorhallarna.

We could buy a boat when you're
better, and go to the islands
of the archipelago.

That sounds wonderful.
Doesn't it?

Don't you want to go by boat?
Come honey!

Come!

I want to go with dad.

Daddy!

- C'mon darling. Sit here.
- Daddy...

Nina, she's just not used to you.

Nina ... Nina, wait!

- Do you want to see Gustaf?
- Yes, we need to clarify things.

- Gustaf told me.
- I understand.

- We took care of you when you needed it.
- I know, and I'm grateful.

You really don't act as if you are.

Hi.

Sit down.

I thought you would appear
sooner or later.

I knew mom wouldn't come, but
she will surely send Peter, I thought.

As a peacemaker, with some sort
of compromise proposal.

And you'd say that we're still
brothers, and that family is
the most important thing.

- Am I right so far?
- Mom didn't send me.

Well then I'll answer ...

that it can be good to have family,
but it can be quite unreliable.

Formal agreements are much better.
Contracts binding by law.

So, thanks for the interest,
but things are fine as they are.

Do you want a brandy before you go?

You said that nothing you do has been
good enough for mom.

Yes.

Yet always
I thought you were her favorite.

- You have the restaurant.
- She had higher plans for you.

I don't understand what you're saying.

A director is like a cook with a
more expensive suit.
A lawyer, something else.

- The restaurant is everything for mom.
- No, you have not understood anything.

Djurg?rdsk?llaren has been a means to
mother. A way out of poverty.

She was never interested in managing
a restaurant, as dad & I were.

One can show interest
in different ways.

Yes, really.

You love being in the dining room
with customers.

Yes, is there any other way?

For me there was something more,
creating new experiences for customers.

The food, the service, the decor.

- It would seem that you wish to return.
- I dont know.

I'm considering
Different alternatives.

And is one of those alternatives
managing the restaurant together?

Well, I admit that ...

We must both do what we do best.
A commitment! What did I say?

It worked like this when we reopened,
and things were good.

Why should I give you a part of the
restaurant? I have the right to everything.

To save this family, and in order
not to destroy your relationships
with mom and me.

These relationships are already
broken, and cannot be repaired.

- You are so damn naive!
- No, that's not true.

You come here to talk about
memories, and you think.
everything will be fine

I'm not like you. I don't believe in justice,
and I'm not weak.

- You have calculated everything in advance.
- You're pretty predictable.

You can have them.
They're only copies.

Where did you get them?

Have you kept them hidden
for five years?

"My life is over,"

you said that time.

It's still over, I think,
if Astrid sees them.

You are lowering your dignity.

Dignity as in those photos?

You would never take
them to the police.

Yes I would. And also to the press.

This ... I never thought this of you.

Do you still think I'm predictable?

- What did you say to him?
- I found the correct argument.

Maybe it's better not to know.

- The contract is broken.
- That's good!

I have a question.

What would you think if i came
back to be a director?

- What does Gustaf say?
- He thinks it's a good idea.

AHA...

- Are you going to leave the law?
- It was probably never for me.

Mom, this is Esther.

- Good day. Helga L?wander.
- Good day. Nice to meet you.

- How beautifully you embroider.
- Thank you!

She is cute, your mom.

And what a fantastic apartment.

- Did you grow up there?
-Yes.

- What will happen to it now?

- Will she continue living there?
- I suppose.

- Why wouldn't she?
- It's great for a lonely old lady.

She wouldn't want to be described
as a lonely old lady.

Didn't the whole family live there
for many years?

Your dad was director, and
now you are director.

- Maybe we'll start a family and
begin the cycle over again.
- There you go!

I love you.

I'm not going to make it long.
You all have a lot to do.

I have three things to tell you.
First, Gustaf has decided to step aside.

Second, I will take his place.

And third, I missed this place,
but above all I missed you.

That's it. Thank you.

- L?wander.
- Director, this is Roos.

- I heard you left the restaurant.
- That's true.

- I don't like it at all.
- Well, that's the way it's.

For me there is only one director,
and it's you.

I thank you, Roos. But this
is for the best, so stop
calling me director.

Good evening, Director.

Come in.

- Good evening, Mr. L?wander.
- Calle. Thanks for coming.

- I didn't know you had returned.
- It's something recent.

- But you quit, as far as I know.
- Yes, exactly.

The same day that various
kitchen equipment disappeared.

- Have you taken them to your house?
- No, of course not.

- Think about it.
- I just took my knives.

- These are very serious accusations.
- Yes, but there are witnesses.

- Who? Holger?
- The acting sub-chef, yes.

- You can't believe the shit he's saying.
- The language, Svensson.

I apologize, but it's a lie.

Yes...

He says you've taken a slicer.

- How would you even get a
cutting machine out?
- We'll talk to him.

Yes, here we have him.

The new sub-chef
of the Djurg?rdsk?llaren.

What?

Backe wanted me to call you.

- Where's Holger?
- Not here! And he will not return.

I don't know what to say.

- How about "thank you, Chef"?
- Thank you, Chef.

You know what it means to
be a sub-chef, right?

In 25 years, if I get sick again,
you should be ready for the change.

- I'll be ready, Chef.
- I know, Calle.

I'm tired.
Take control tonight.

- They understand? The sub-chef is responsible.
- Yes!

So...
Let's get to work!

Welcome back.

Food in the door!

A pike, table eleven, ten minutes!

- Four baked cakes!
- A little firmer.

L?wander.

Yes, it's me.

Peter!

We must go to Karolinska immediately.
There has been an accident with Nina!

I called Gustaf.
He doesn't answer.

We have reached item nine,
election of the president.

There are two candidates: myself
and waitress Margareta Nilsson.

We will introduce ourselves briefly.
I have been president for six years.

The experience and the network
of contacts that I built has
benefited our members.

Margareta Nilsson?
Do you want to introduce yourself?

No? Shall we go to the vote?

Group companions
union 8.

Eight years ago I came here to Stockholm
from S?rmland to seek employment.

I had left my ...

I had left my son One
with adoptive parents ...

because I couldn't afford to
provide for him.

My work was hard, low paid
and with unsafe working conditions.

Much has happened since then
both for me and for Sweden.

Now I have a salary that allows me
to support my son and myself.

Our elders can live off of
their retirement.

Child support is
essential help for many parents.

Health insurance allows you to have
stability when out of work.

The labor movement, of which the
Union is a vital part, has
brought about these changes.

We are proud,
but we are not satisfied.

I dream of abolishing
social classes.

And maybe it's at my workplace,
in yours, or in our jobs ...

that we can take the first step.

That's why i aspire
to be president. Thank you.

Well ... shall we vote?

Who votes for the undersigned to
continue as president?

Thank you. And who votes for Margareta
Nilsson to be the new president?

Margareta Nilsson will be
the new president for the year 1951.

I told you! Get up!

Get up!

She jumped from the third floor.
Who survives such a thing?

- Are you related to Nina Rehnski?ld?
- Yes. Peter L?wander.

The situation remains critical.
She has serious fractures.

The heart is stable but she shows
no signs regaining consciousness.

So is she still in a coma?
How long can it last?

Some wake up in 10 minutes.
Others are in a coma for life.

The longer time that goes by
without signs of consciousness,
the less the chances of waking up.

- Will she survive?
- I can't say.

We have been here for hours
and you can't say anything!

I need to know if she will survive!

It's a stressful situation,
but I can't say anything for sure.

Go home and try to sleep.
This can take a long time.

Of all things
stupid what you've done.

This was the dumbest yet.

Today they made me sub-chef
and you missed it.

You would never have said that when we
met in the kitchen 5 years ago ...

and I made you an omelette.

Things didn't turn out like
we wanted.

But they went well, overall.

I met Sonja
who is a wonderful person.

Faithful, sweet and kind.

And quite different from you.

Bj?rn came, the most beautiful
thing that happened to me.
We are a beautiful little family.

We are fine. We would like to buy
a house in Enskede.

And in summer we go on
vacation to Denmark.

And only ...

none of it feels real.

I always think about how
It would be if we were together

I fantasize about meeting you, and.
your telling me you got divorced.

I decide to leave Sonja.

And finally
we can be together.

This is how it should be,
actually.

I know it's just a fantasy.
But it gives me strength to continue.

Then you can't die, Nina.

Because then I would have
no more hope.

I will never stop loving you.

I tried, but I can't.

I will never leave you.

Never.

- Thanks for the pictures
- I'm glad they were useful again.

- For the future.
- Salud, for the future.
