The Restaurant (2017–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Hemkomsten - full transcript

The restaurant needs cash.

In this situation, increase credit
it is absolutely unthinkable.

There is peace

Excuse me miss

How insolent

- Sorry! Is it Chef Backe?
- You're late

Hi. Are you working here

Don't you know who she is

- I can not risk...
- For a powder

The boy cooks very well
and it looks good. He will stay

By the end of the week
you will be gone



Do you know what Peter has plans?
I take care of the restaurant now

There is another possibility and you can
be good business for both of you. Coupons

It's quite risky

- Was everything to your liking?
- Yes, as usual

- I'd also like a coffee.
- I'll bring it to you right away

- I've had a craving for coffee for 5 years.
- Like the rest of the Swedes

Maybe i could help you

We love our loyal customers

Yes...
I would be very interested in that

- We can talk about it in my office.
- Thank you, Löwander. Thank you

Thanks

Voila.

You had not told me
that the restaurant was so big

Excuse me,
do you have a table, sir



Peter.

- How are you?
- All right! I'm glad to see you

- But, you didn't come today.
- No, I went out earlier

Great!

- Have you seen mom?
- No

This is Suzanne,
a friend from Värnamo

- Hello, nice to meet you.
- "Bonjour."

- Is Orlov available?
- Yes, he is.

- All right. See you later?
- Of course!

- Welcome home!
- Thanks, it's good to be here

Our time is now.

Episode 2
HOMECOMING

No! How the hell are you
salting, really?

- Huh?
- So, Chef

No!
There are lumps everywhere

So!
Did you learn nothing at the Hasselbacken

I promise to practice, Chef

Why is he hassling Calle all the time?

When Astilla messes with someone
It goes on for a long time.

- But he's like that all the time.
- He is persistent

Ethel

Peter.

- How skinny you are! Didn't they feed you?
- Yes, but I dreamed of your herring

Suzanne, a friend from Värnamo

Hello, Suzanne.
Ethel.

- Can you arrange for me to work with you?
- yes

I have been working in a kitchen.
I can wash

- I can ... How do you say?
- Chop

- When can you start?
- Morning

We'll see you then.

It's more worn than I remember.

No, it's not very good

Thanks.

I shouldn't have come with you.
They wonder who I am

I told them that you are a friend

- They think something else.
- Let them think what the will.

And your brother

- He was looking inquisitively.
- He just ... No problem.

Thanks for everything, Peter.
Really

Now I'll let you rest.

I'll have dinner with my family tonight.
I can probably get you something to eat

Peter, I can take care of myself

I know

- Bye.
- Bye

- End of discussion!
- The semester starts in two weeks

- Did you register me?
- Yes, I did it in February

Don't you hear? I have no
intention of going to housewife school.

You are not going to miss another year!
- I'm a hostess in the party room!

And where does that take you

Stop nagging, otherwise I'm moving out.

- Where?
- Agnes and I will live in Kungsholmen

At Kungsholmen? To convince
your mother you must lie more credibly

Hello?

- Peter! Why didn't you say anything?
- Surprises are such fun!

What a surprise!
Come! Finally my boy

What a surprise!
Come! Finally, my boy.

Now don't cry mom

You must never travel again

I have missed you so much

- Who is taking food to the Mrs. upstairs?
- Calle. There, he's at least not
in the way.

So be it, Chef

Hurry up, then!

- Quiet night, huh?
- yes

I have to run an errand.
Can you cover three and four

- Sure. Just ask Bellan.
- Thank you

Is there anyone at the entrance?

- How are you, Margareta?
- I have to go out and make a call

Lilly promised to cover for me

In the middle of dinner madness

25 starving guests can enter
at any time

I won't be long.

What is so desperately important

Forget it.

- What will you do now?
- I'm going to study law

- Will you become a lawyer?
- Perhaps

- Are you interested in that?
- I want to study international law

To the law.

I will be happy to help you too.
Thanks, we are involved in
everything, mom and me.

Here comes the future of the restaurant

Now Mrs Löwander exaggerates a little

- What is your name?
- Carl, ma'am

Carl does fantastic
mushroom toast

I'm glad you remember it

- But the credit for this dinner is Backe's.
- He is also kind and humble

That's typical

- Miss Löwander. How are you?
- All right

- Have you had a good summer?
- Yes, very good.

I'm glad

- Where's a bowl for cucumbers?
- In the closet

- What?
- Your face watching me bothers me.

Sorry, it's the only face I have.

- I didn't get drunk intending to flirt.
- I didn't think you did. But it's
an interesting thought.

Find the bowl without saying anything

- I want to say one thing.
- I don't want to listen

- Have you been in the kitchen yet?
- yes

- Could Ethel keep from crying?
- Barely

She has always cared a little extra
about you, of course.

From childhood, when you fought with Gustaf,
she never thought you were to blame

I never did either.

- Did you get Orlov's key?
- yes

- Why do you need it?
- For my friend from Värnamo

What was her name? Sonja?

- Suzanne.
- Suzanne, yes, yes

- Yes, a woman?
- Yes, from France

A Jew.

She was rescued from a concentration
camp. Horrible what the Germans did.

She was sent to the Småland camp 6
months ago. She has no family left.

She is beautiful

What does that have to do with this?
Nothing, but she is very pretty.

- Did you meet her?
- yes

She's attractive
in a slightly exotic way.

- You are in love?
- No, I'm not in love

I want to help her.
I have also helped others

- One family got my military salary.
- Nice gesture

You would have done
the same in my place

- Will she live in Orlov's place?
- Yes, and she'll work for Ethel
in the kitchen
.

Has Ethel arranged a job for you

- That is a problem?
- No, but you should have asked me

Then i do

- Thanks for tonight, mom.
- Bye Peter

It's great to have you home

The foreign woman must stay
away from the restaurant.

- Peter!
- Hello, Sigvard! Hello

- It's been so long.
- Good to see you

- Have you been home for long?
- No, just since last week.

I'm going to study law

- And you?
- Now I'm in trade.

I was in Djurgårdskällaren
on the day of peace. They were all there

Paraphrasing Mark Twain:
"The rumor of your death is
greatly exaggerated."

- Nina is engaged?
- No, not that I know of

Sorry I didn't understand
about Mark Twain.
"The rumor of your death ...?"

Someone said that the restaurant
was in trouble

- What trouble?
- I dont know. They could
have been wrong.

It may have been about another place

- It's probably going fine.
- Sure.

- How are you?
- Well thanks

Is there a problem?

- How can I help you?
- I wonder if you want more
coupons.

Damnit, I'd rather not. Why
are you pushing them on me
right now?

They came yesterday from Sundsvall,
from the Crisis Committee warehouse

I still have a few
from last time

- Only a few?
- Yes. Interest has been good.

I told you it would be.
Don't you want more then?

- I don't have any cash right now.
- We'll fix that.

The same amount as before?

This must remain a temporary activity.
We'll continue only until I
relieve my debt problem.

Yes Yes.
You decide, Gustaf

At the June military conference
he was healthy as a nut.

But one can decline quickly.
Real fun group.

August.
August

As superior of the deceased
for many years

I would like to say a few words

Colonel Carl-Gustaf Fraenckel was a
fine military officer
and a highly valued companion

- Who are you talking about?
- The deceased, Carl-Gustaf Fraenckel

But that's me

- Upon my honor! Are you alive?
- In any case, until now.

- August, sit down!
- That was good news

You're late

- What's in here?
- A funeral

- And you take care of the party?
- yes

- You can go back downstairs.
- No hurry. We are calm now

- Who told you where I live?
- I don't want to talk about that

It was good that you apologized

- I didn't apologize.
- yes, of course you did.

- You said, "I want to apologize."
- Then you remember wrong

- Nina, can I say one more thing?
- You weren't going to talk anymore

Just one more thing.
Then I promise not to say anything more.

I think about that night a lot,
when you came down to the kitchen.

I have never spoken to anyone before
that way. I could be myself

You could also be yourself

- Anything else?
- No

I know who you really are.
You are amazing

- How are you?
- All right

- When was your last break?
- At lunch time

- Then take one now. Get out of here.
- Yes ma'am

Loosen your shoulders when you work.
Or you will easily hurt yourself

FIRST ATOMIC BOMB
DROPPED ON JAPAN

It's incomprehensible. Look

Hägg broke the world record again,
in front of 70,000 spectators! What a man

Peter's wife
has a number on her arm

She has been
in a concentration camp

I knew she was Jewish.
Erland saw her steal carrots

He is not a good witness

She can sell
our vegetables at Hötorget

I have seen nothing.

- Who are they talking about?
- Ask Holger

Come with me

I apologize, Director, I shouldn't have
spoken. Sometimes I do it
without thinking

- You were talking about Suzanne?
- Yes, but it won't happen again

Are there rumors about her

Yes

Tell me about them.

Suzanne?

How are you?
Well.

Ethel says I have
to take breaks.

Yes, Ethel is always right.
Even if I'm wrong

-Have you registered for school?
-Yes. Now there is no turning back.

You will see

Here we have the law book.
I'm going to learn to hit people
in the head with it.

Seems to me it will be difficult.
You should also take a break.

Yes, I will do it. I promise

Do you want to have lunch with me tomorrow

- Are you free at noon?
- yes

No one will see us together

It's good.

At table six they want to talk to you

- Are they unsatisfied?
- It doesn't look like that

- Everything was fine?
- Lunch was good, thanks

- There is something else that worries me.
- Seriously

- He doesn't know who I am.
- No

Herman Waern, Director of the House of
Credit. Nilsson's Top Counter

- It's a pleasure to have you here.
- Thank you

- I've been extremely busy.
- It looks that way.

Nilsson says it's difficult
get a meeting with you.

- Ask Nilsson to call for an appointment.
- I have a better idea

Sit down here for ten minutes, so I
can explain how serious
the situation is.

I can't have a meeting when we are
open. Customers come first.

How many clients do you have here

- Who are they?
- Bankers

- Your maître d 'has nothing to do.
- Don't try to tell me how to run
my business.

You can't even handle a credit check.

- That's quite enough. Have a nice day
- Löwander

What was that?

Chef, do you have a minute

- What is it?
- I have been practicing

And there?
- There it was missing. I'll practice more, Chef

I don't want you in my kitchen

- I want to show that I am capable, Chef.
- I know what you're capable of, Calle

I'm sorry if I gave one
first bad impression

It's not about salting!
You can be a world champion in salting...

I don't want you anyway

I will not leave. The Djurgårdskällaren
It has the best cuisine in Stockholm

This is where i want to learn
and develop myself

You are also a flatterer

And my family needs the money

Come with me.

You must shine all the silver

- Tomorrow it must be ready.
- I will, Chef

- How's the restaurant going?
- Ok, but not great.

- Why?
- It seems that we do not have so many clients

- We are in the post-war period.
- Everyone has problems now

- That is not true.
- who says so

Me. Norma is full every night,
Cecil too

Bal Palais, Aston ... People go out
like never before, but they
don't come here.

- You don't understand this.
- I've been to those restaurants.

Djurgårdskällaren is considered
out of style

This is the restaurant for those
who befriended the Germans

The Germans lost,
we also

Thanks, that's enough.

The party room was
full on peace day.

Otherwise, all we have are funerals,
but that's the business we seemed
to have fashioned for ourselves.

Now be quiet

Sigvard Lunde said he heard that
it's bad for us. There is talk.

- Who the hell is Sigvard Lunde?
- You should probably listen to Nina

If I were you I would care more about
Suzanne. There is a lot of talk about her

Quiet

- What are they saying about Suzanne?
- That she is stealing food

- Why would she do that?
- Several have seen her.

- She takes food and puts it in her pocket.
- It's gossip and lies

Let's ask Backe what he's heard.

She's been in an extermination camp, and
in Sweden she is met by the same prejudices!

Now calm down, Peter

- This is very unpleasant.
- Backe, just say what you heard

- There have been some rumors.
- Precisely rumors

They say the new woman
takes food home

I spoke to Miss Lundin
about what I knew

She confirms the rumors

- Ethel?
- Yes. She saw it herself

- Thanks, Chef. You can go.
- Mrs. Löwander

- I feel sorry for her.
- But even so, one can't
steal food at work.

I feel sorry for Peter
who helped her.

He's in love with her, and that
will continue for a long time.

Speaking of love: Sture and Ria
have broken their engagement

- Now you have the chance.
- Stop! I don't need a boyfriend.

What happened to
that cute kitchen boy?

- Does he still work there?
- Yes. He's unbearable.

I apologized about that night.
Now he teases me about it.

- What the fuck!
- yes

He says he never spoke to anyone
as we did that night.

And then he says he thinks
that I am absolutely amazing

- When are you getting married?
- Stop!

I just want to know, so I can
write it on the calendar

A pocket seemed heavy,
so I was vigilant the next day

She took some vegetables.
I didn't want to do anything about it

- You could have told me.
- I didn't want to.

- Is she here now?
- No, I sent her home

She is diligent, so for me, she can stay,
but you should talk to her

Hello?
I want to contact Nyköping

- 51930.
- Good evening. This is Margareta

Sorry to call so late.
Can I speak to Uno?

Now?
Yes

- He is already sleeping.
- Yes, he falls asleep at 7 o'clock

I get it. Could I call
tomorrow morning?

Hello?

Unfortunately he cries every time
you call. It's hard to calm him down afterwards.

Just tell me a good time.

- Call at 9, then.
- Thank you

What's wrong, Maggan?

It's not important.
It's over.

Is there a man waiting,
or maybe not waiting

Something like that

Men come and go, and that's just
how it is.

- Who are you going to eat with?
- Klara

Me too.
Come on and we'll keep
each other company.

- I'm leaving now.
- Good evening, Chef

But what are you doing here
Chef Backe

- You never get tired?
- So it seems.

Today Nina said that
Djurgårdskällaren is out of fashion

That's not true. People will
always want good food.

- You have cooked the same for 25 years.
- No, I have not.

- I follow the times, but not
fanatically.

If you're tired of my food, tell me
and I'll go work somewhere else.

¡Stig

You are worried.
Has Nina scared you

I thought war was but a moment,
and then everything would go
back as before.

But the old has not returned.

Peter is another,
and he has that woman with him

- They are a couple?
- Not yet, but she will try

Really

She has nothing else in the world.
She will seize her opportunity with Peter

- Do you think she is looking for money?
- She is not good for Peter

- And Peter has no idea?
- I want my children to be happy

Each person must decide for himself \
whether to be happy or not.
I have seen it.

Am i a terrible person?

Helga, I've said it before and
will say it again.

You are completely disgusting.

- Hello! Did I wake you up?
- No.

- Are you in pain?
- yes

Lie in my bed instead. I'll go
in with Lelle.

It is not the bed, nor the pain.
It's not having a job.

- How much are you earning per day?
- Eight crowns

- That would mean working all night?
- I could handle it.

Ingeborg said Per found a job
in Södertälje. He earns fifteen crowns.

They're looking for staff.

- Should I move to Södertälje?
- We can all move

I want to work in a kitchen

Could you at least think about it

Yes of course

- It was delicious.
- Thank you

- No wonder you know how to cook.
- This is all I can do

- Not seriously?
- yes

Dad's favorite food. He taught us
Gustaf and me when I was 7 years old

Beautiful

They used to dress us like chefs
and then we made beef liver

I served the table
to the delight of the guests

- Sounds fine!
- In addition to singing melodies

By the way, dad was not
very generous

Good...

- I have to return. Thank you.
- Suzanne, I...

There is one thing
I want to talk to you about.

- I don't know how to say it.
- I have to go

There are rumors in the kitchen

Someone says they have seen you
bring food home

- That is not true!
- No, no, I know

- Then why are you telling me?
- So you don't do anything that is misunderstood

- I quit.
- Suzanne, please

I should never have come with you

We can talk about it!
Suzanne

Leave them here, thanks

Take those

- Weren't you to you polish the silver?
- Yes, Chef

What do you call this?
Look at the bottom

- Maybe it was left in the dining room?
- Or, you're sloppy

- Sorry. I will deal with that now.
- Do them all again before tomorrow

- I was up until 4:30 this morning, Chef.
- Then stay until 5:30

- Is there something you don't understand?
- No, Chef

Good

Karin, hello.

- I hope I'm not a bother.
- No

We were very curious
about this little one.

Oh how nice! What a treat

Oh, many things to look at

Oh, the cute little one!

Hello

- Hello. Lilly.
- Karin. I worked here before

- Do you sleep at night?
- Sometimes

I can't complain

- Hello! What's your name?
- It's called Folke

- Hello, Folke.
- Maggan, say hello to Folke.

- Nice name.
- Thank you

- How are you?
- All right

- Why are you crying?
- I'm not crying.

There...

You weren't sad for a man.
You have a child somewhere

It doesn't concern you...

Suzanne?

Are you there?

Suzanne?

Sorry. I really don't want
us to fight.

I apologize if I hurt you.
It was not my intention

I want to help you

We said:
"Now you see the hare."

When you haven't eaten
for a long time

the face is transformed

Teeth protrude
and you look like a hare

And you smell ... weird

Almost like gasoline

So we knew that we were
going to die soon.

- How did you manage to survive?
- Never ask an ex-prisoner that.

Sorry.

I don't know what to say

In the concentration camp I thought
about food all the time.

I dreamed of food

Now i can't stop

I knew I would be seen, but it
was more important for me to...

I calm down when I reach out my hand
and touch something I can eat

No one can judge you for that

They have already done that

What do you want to do now

- Move to a hostel.
- Those places are not safe

- Stay with me.
- No, I can't.

One night.
Until you find something else

You sleep in the bedroom
and I stay on the couch.

I'm serious

We must celebrate an anniversary. Tell
all Stockholm that we're still here.

That they can always trust us.
We have to put ourselves on the map again

Here is the robbery

What do you think we should have done?
Employees cannot steal food

- This is because Suzanne is Jewish.
- Silence

I'm ashamed
to be part of this family

Get off your pedestal. At first you went
with the Germans, then you switched sides

Yes when they invaded Denmark
and Norway. I was never a Nazi

No one here has been a Nazi.

Before, I preferred the Germans to
the Russians, and I still do, Peter.

The Germans saved us from Stalin

You don't care what happened in the
concentration camps?
Women and children gassed...

- We didn't know anything about that.
- It was known for a long time

How do you know that
newspapers were telling the truth?

OMG Gustaf.
There are photos, movies, testimonials

There have been abuses, too
by the Russians and the Americans

They just dropped an atomic bomb
and they annihilated an entire city

Don't women and children live in
Japanese cities too?

Newspapers write about technological
progress. Isn't that barbarism?

No, it's portrayed as humane, why?

Because the winners
write history.

There is a difference with making war
to eradicate an entire people

Boys, boys, we must accept
that we have different opinions

I hope the vegetables
are useful to them

Curt, I want to talk about the coupons

Well. I just want to tell you
to give it time

You are nervous, but if you handle it
discreetly, there's very little risk.

I want to sell more

- Do you want to sell more?
- Yes. Many more

I told you that you would like
to have your own ticket factory.

Can you deliver them

- I'll sleep on the sofa.
- No

- You can't stretch.
- I've slept in worse places

- Me too.
- Yes, but

I'll sleep here. No problem

There are linens in the bedroom.
You can make the bed yourself

Hey, what kind of hotel is this?

I'm tired.
I'm going to bed

- Sleep well.
- Good evening

Good night.

Hello

What are you doing?

The Chef said that by tomorrow all
this silver must be polished

- Are you going to do everything by yourself?
- I am used to it. It's the second night

No ... Sliver must have gone mad.
I will talk to mom

Don't do that.
It will only make things worse.

But thanks anyway

What will you do when you're done

I'll be very ready to sleep.

It's gonna be a good day.
Do you want to have breakfast in front of the sea

- You and I?
- Yes, I have not invited anyone else

But maybe you're too tired?

Let's go.

Let's go.

Stop!

- Is this what you want to do?
- Only this

Nina!

- Nina, are you there?
- Wait, mom

- Have you already gone up?
- Please go ahead

- You're out of breath. Has something happened?
- You walk into my room in the middle of the night

- What do you want?
- Put the dirty clothes in the basket

Inger will go to the laundry

I don't have dirty clothes

OK.

- Can I come out now?
- No, you should stay for a few days.

Thank you for today

How is the seafood?
Do they have lobsters?

Calle? We are missing a kitchen girl who
did not return after summer.

- Would you like to take her place?
- Of course

- Should we ask?
- No, I manage the staff

- But you will be the only man.
- I think I can do it

Miss?
What number is that table

It's 6, Mr. Löwander

Director of Banking
Waern

- Waern. Welcome.
- Peter Löwander

I'm glad someone in the family
has some common sense

It is very simple, Djurgårdskällaren has
lost control of their credit.

Unless they solve it immediately
we will bankrupt the restaurant.
