The Restaurant (2017–…): Season 3, Episode 4 - Avgång - full transcript

You're a class traitor, Lena.

-I defended you!
-You didn't.

What's going on?

Two lads broke in.
We think they planted a bomb.

-It backfired.
-How?

-The police are looking for me.
-He has to go!

Why do you think we haven't been
touched in three years? It's a new world!

All I can tell you is
that we pick our people with great care.

My name is Mark, and I am a
deserter of the Vietnam war.

The cops are coming!

According to what I've heard, that club is
a meeting place for sexual deviants.



You can all leave,
just show us your ID first.

DEFENDS ILLEGAL CLUBS

It might even
affect the upcoming elections.

Was it your group who called the police?
I hate being manipulated!

It says "SDS" on the door sign,
the Swedish Defence Staff.

-What are you talking about?
-Uno. He's an infiltrator.

He made friends with you to get to me.

Christina? Breakfast is ready!

COMMUNIST ORIENTATION

How the hell could you
spy on me and my friends?

-I trusted you. I thought we were friends.
-You can trust me.

You used me to get to John.
You bastard!

It wasn't like that...

How can you look yourself in the mirror?
How do you sleep at night?



John wants an armed revolution.

They all do.
They think they're above democracy.

"I don't agree with my mother."
A pack of lies!

You horrible little worm!

Wait! I understand that you're upset,
but I care about you...

-A lot...
-I never want to see you again!

PEACE

THE RESTAURANT

EPISODE 24
RESIGNATION

These are comrades I trust.
They have the right attitude.

We can discuss any other names.
Call them to a meeting.

-Do we tell them why we're meeting?
-No. We've got to be doubly careful.

We'll tell them when they're here.

-Do you think that's him?
-Perhaps...

-Are you Nils?
-Yes... Hello. I'm Nils Bredestad.

-Hello. I'm Carl Svensson.
-I'm Ethel Lundin. Do I say Nils or Nisse?

-Everyone calls me Nisse.
-Welcome.

Listen everyone! Nisse is starting
as a chef today. He's replacing Erland.

We'll find new clothes for you.
Those'll have to do for now.

Sorry, is your name Nisse or Missy?

I've never heard that one before...

Ethel will get you started.
Back to work, everyone!

-Can you prepare a prawn cocktail?
-Of course. The usual ingredients?

You've got everything here.
I'll show you how to do the sauce later.

If I were you, Nisse,
I'd keep those clothes.

They're impractical but sexy as heck!
Right, Carmen?

Stop this nonsense!
Giggling like school girls! Grow up!

-It's called humour!
-A five-year-old's.

-Any comments on your statements?
-No comment.

-Do you stand by what you said?
-Why were you at that club?

I'm hounded by journalists.

Press antics help no one. Not even you.

Hello.

Minister Gahn asked
to attend this meeting.

-I see.
-Not in my capacity as a minister.

Rather as a representative
of the cabinet.

This is an election year and the party
want to avoid any scandals.

-I expressed myself carelessly.
-Anyone can make a mistake.

-What matters is how we deal with them.
-Yes. How we handle the matter.

What is Lindgren's position?
If he has one, that is.

It's awkward. It's had repercussions
on the finance commissioner, too.

As things stand now,
Lindgren won't publicly endorse you.

What does that mean?

A leave of absence might be best.

-Leave?
-Until this blows over.

Until we find a suitable strategy.

-How do you know you've been rumbled?
-I've worked it out.

Are you sure?

I've had conversations
with Christina Rehnskiöld.

-She isn't a member, but...
-She's John Hansen's girlfriend.

Yet you say she's not part of the group.
How can that be?

I struggle to see this group
being a danger to society.

What are they guilty of,
other than civil disobedience?

-We've already discussed this.
-I still have the same questions.

If you've been found out,
I need to inform my superiors.

You just sit tight for now.
Keep a low profile.

-Hello!
-Hello.

-How are things?
-Fine... I guess.

Can I ask you something?
You know Lena, right?

Yes.

Why do you ask?

Nothing. She's just... I don't know.
Hard to figure out.

Yes, she can be at first.

But she's worth the effort.

Okay.

You don't get better girls than Lena.

Do you know... What music she likes?

-This'll be Stockholm's first pizzeria.
-Hang on, Angelo.

Remember the last time you were
going to launch "the Italian pie"?

Exactly.

Times have changed.
Young people run the show now.

They want to eat well
without spending a lot.

-And eat with their fingers?
-Yes, exactly!

Look.

The pizza oven goes in the corner.

And maybe five tables
with nice table cloths.

Angelo... You could fit six tables.

Stockholm's first pizzeria.

Yes.

-Do you have a minute, madam?
-Yes.

I'm afraid that money is missing
from the daily takings.

-There's money missing?
-Yes.

We did the right thing by banning
that hippie and his lot.

-I've never seen such cheek!
-You believe it was them?

Who else?

Well, you've noticed it now,
but they haven't been here for a while.

I have to admit that I am
a few days behind, checking the cash.

So they've got behind the bar without
being seen? It doesn't make sense.

What?

-This is most awkward.
-Well?

One particular person seems close
to that individual.

Someone with access to the till.

I'm so...

Thank you.

Watch out, people. There's an outburst
of dance fever at Nina's tonight.

It's time to lower the temperature.

This one's for everyone's who's in
love, but don't know how to show it.

Hoping that, maybe, if they're lucky,
they might get a second chance.

I've never been off work in all my life.

What do I...?

Go and see an exhibition.
Read a good book.

-I'd love to be on leave.
-He wouldn't.

-Svante lives for his work.
-I live for you, my darling.

I bet you do.

-When is your meeting with Lindgren?
-3 o'clock.

Is he going to fire me?

-Don't worry about things in advance.
-We've got to leave.

Coming!

-Don't you ever get tired?
-Of what?

Of this.

This front.

Of the fact that you and I
could never travel to work together.

What does that matter?

I hate it.

Attending the same meetings and acting
like we barely know each other.

I find that a bit arousing. Don't you?

See you later.

The commissioner will see you now.

I suppose you know
what I want to talk about.

Can I just say something first?

I have been here for eleven years, always
taking responsibility for my actions.

-To dismiss me because of one...
-Dismiss? Who said that?

I want you to return to work.
As soon as possible.

You are appreciated,
inside and outside of this building.

-Finding a replacement would be hard.
-Thank you.

We just have to agree
on the form of your return.

Absolutely.

The police commissioner
is calling for a public apology.

A joint press conference, for example.

An apology for the criticism
you expressed.

You express your full confidence,
both in him and in his police leadership.

Then we can put all this behind
and devote ourselves to politics.

Wouldn't that be good?

Yes.

Excuse me, I'm looking
for Mr Wiedenborg?

-Third door on the right.
-Thank you.

At this point in time,
we can't grant you a loan.

Why not?

This business idea of yours -
what was it you called it...?

Pisseria?

Pizzeria, with two zeds.

Maybe it works in Italy,
But people here prefer cooked food.

Though not the young. As you can see
in the application, we're targeting...

Young people. Yes, I can read.

Allow me to suggest
you try something different.

Hot dogs, for example.

Think about it.

With the right business idea
we might reconsider.

Never give up on a dream.

-Right?
-Er... No.

-Right?
-Exactly!

Never give up on a dream,
my friend. Never.

-I need that sauce.
-Roulade nearly ready!

Look at you. So handsome.

Thank you.

-Good morning.
-Hi there.

Right, this one fits a bit better.

Sleeves are the right length, too.

Right, let's see...

Keep your rabbit food
under control, please!

-Hello, darling.
-Hello.

-Feeling a bit better?
-Yes.

-I could bring you tea in bed tonight.
-Don't.

Like I used to.

What do you want?

I don't mean to be at you all the time.

I just don't want for us to
lose each other.

Treat me like an adult then.
Accept my choices.

-Do you mean John?
-Everything. You just don't get it.

Christina, maybe he just isn't
the right guy for you.

-He is by all accounts a criminal, and...
-Listen to yourself!

-If you could listen...
-Want to know what's criminal?

-This oppressive society!
-Is this about politics?

It's all about politics! But you don't see
what's happening in the world right now!

-Christina, my sweet...
-I'm not sweet!

-Unlike you, I'm aware!
-So if you're aware you can stop caring?

Are you above the law?

-Steal out of the day's takings?
-Who's done that?

John is a bad influence on you.
He's not good for you! I demand...

You can't order me around!

I hate you! I bloody do!

What's up?

I hate Mum sometimes.

She has her faults.

Quite a lot of faults.

Loads, if we're being really honest.

Haven't you ever hated her?
You're divorced after all.

No.

I've never hated Nina.

Hatred mostly leads
to a lot of trouble for oneself.

-Whatever I do it's wrong.
-Don't be so dramatic.

Either I do the press conference,
and betray my principles.

Or I say no, and lose my job.

-And everything I've worked towards.
-Exactly. Why risk that?

Do the press conference -
and move on.

-That's best for you and for the party.
-And the police?

They get away with registering people
based on their sexuality.

-You've spoken to the RFSL people?
-No.

You don't owe Lilly anything.

You were wrong about her.
She hasn't tried to use me.

If you say so.

I think you need to placate
those gay-rights activists.

How?

Some kind of compensation.
Do they need new premises?

Easily arranged.

Look...

Do you know what I want to do,
once this is over?

Go somewhere for the weekend with you.

Just you and me.

And not get out of bed at all.

Yes, please.

Can I get you anything else?

We were just talking about dessert.

-Right. I'll get the menu.
-Thank you.

Have you and Christina had a row?

Yes.

I promised myself
I'd never be like Mother.

Now I am.

All the reasons she'd give
for your being wrong for me.

Maybe she was right after all, Helga.

When you look at what happened to us.

Listen to me: It's not the same thing.

Maybe I wasn't a great catch -
but I wasn't a criminal.

-You stole my heart.
-I gave it back.

Slightly used.

If you want my advice:
Stand your ground...

...about Christina and that boy.
It doesn't make you a Helga.

I loved Mother.

I looked up to her.

When she wasn't being a bossy cow.

I sometimes wonder why I miss her.

But I do.

Christina loves you.

-Does she?
-You know she does.

I don't feel well
so I'm not coming in today.

It's just a headache.

Yes, I'm at John's. Why?

I have to go, Mum. Bye-bye.

That wasn't so hard, was it?

Not at all.

I need to talk to you about something.

Oh yes...?

The future.

Good. You can drive back to town again.

-What is it?
-Who is Mirko?

I heard you and Mum quarrelling.

-Did he plant the bomb?
-I don't want to discuss it with you.

-Why not?
-Because you're 17 years old.

What's the right age to find out
your parents are criminals?

-We are not criminals.
-Mirko is involved with the Royal.

You own the Club Royal.
You're working with criminals.

All I can tell you, is that there will be
some changes at the Royal.

Drive on.

Go, Angelo!

Come on! Pass it!

He dived!

Not a penalty...?

-Referee idiot!
-Not in front of the kids.

Anyway, I remember
a referee back in Catania.

Gasparri -twice as harsh before lunch
as after. His blood sugar was low.

That explains it all...

But that bloke dived.

Remember:

11:45.

Not before, not after.

-Yes, but...
-Listen to me, Angelo.

Do you trust me?

-It'll be fine.
-Yes.

Hello? I'd like to book a meeting...
To discuss a business loan.

PHARMACY

TEST RESULT

We see it everywhere:
the capitalist backlash is hardening.

Martin Luther King, Rudi Dutschke.

They want to murder us.

But the people are rising up.

People are rioting in the USA,
in France, in Czechoslovakia.

We have all sung The Internationale:
"This is the final struggle."

Maybe we didn't really think
about what that means.

But comrades...

This is real. The wheat
shall be separated from the chaff.

The Security Service
have us under surveillance.

Which of us, and what they know
is unimportant.

If we're threatened, it's collectively.

But we need to split up.

Build cells, and go underground.

It might sound radical.

But comrades,
the revolution is within our reach!

An opportunity that might only arise
once every 100 years.

Don't we owe it to ourselves,
and the world,

to do everything possible
to make it happen?

Everyone here was summoned
because I trust you.

All of us in this room,

we're ready to go from words to action!

All of us in this room are resolute.
We are ruthless!

We are indefatigable in our fight
for Communism's complete victory!

Not a single one of them said no.
Everyone is on board.

It's happening!

I'm pregnant.

Are you sure?

Yes.

I thought you were on the pill.

Of course I am. But I missed a few days.

After we'd been detained...

I couldn't sleep at all.
I forgot to take them.

Oh, what the heck...

There'll be three of us.

-You want to?
-Yes.

We'll have a sweet, clever
little revolutionary.

I love you.

You're off the assignment.

For your own safety, avoid any contact
with the group as of now.

But let's stay in touch. We'd like
to involve you in other assignments.

Thanks, but I'm not interested.

-Why not?
-I've lost faith in what you're doing.

-You don't have the full picture, Uno.
-It's not about that.

You do more harm than good.
Don't contact me again.

Look... Uno?

Hello?

Christina?

Listen...

I'm so sorry about the other day.
I went too far.

-It doesn't matter.
-What are you doing?

-Moving.
-Where to?

That's my business.

To John's?

Please stop for a second
so we can talk about it.

I promise I won't interfere
about whom you're seeing or why.

It's your life...

But don't move. I beg you.

I want as little to do with
you as possible.

Christina -don't go!

No, Mirko, I've made my decision.

I've made investments.
The gambling tables, for example.

Give me the details
and you'll be compensated for it.

How about this:

I forget the door and gambling tables.
I supply your dish-washers.

No.

Peter, we've worked together
for many years.

You've never had any complaints.
Is this the thanks I get?

You've benefited
from our partnership, too.

I can cause a lot of trouble, Peter.

Remember that.

I'd rather not.

But let me keep the dish-washers,
here and at Oscarshof...

...and I'll let it pass.

No.

You're ruining a good business.

Your Club Royal
is going to get into trouble.

-Is that a threat?
-No.

It's a prediction.

Move your feet.

More bounce.

Mr Vinge, do you have a moment?

Work on that guard!

So, let's see...

There you go.

-Then we're all hunky dory, Roos.
-I always pay my debts.

-What about the door?
-What door?

You were going to get me
the door at Nina's.

I said I'd explore the possibility.
It doesn't look promising.

-Is that so?
-I can try again at a later date.

Sounds good. Him there, he'd make
a good bouncer, wouldn't he?

Without a doubt.

Hello.

I will have to reject your application.

Why?

I have neither the time nor the obligation
to explain our stance on madcap ideas.

I'm so sorry I'm late.

We'd like to complement
the loan application

with a small sample of what
the restaurant would be serving.

Help yourself. Please.

Just pick one up -like a sandwich.

Have some more.
There are different types.

I see.

This one is a capricciosa,
with mushrooms.

-Mushrooms?
-Yes, and ham. It's delicious.

And one is supposed to eat it like this,
with one's fingers?

Absolutely. Whichever one prefers.

Yes, why not?

SKIRT ALERT

Are you interested in fashion, Nisse?

No, I was just leafing through it.

You'd get a bladder infection
wearing that.

And that eyeshadow!

I had a friend who was on the stage.
She had eyeshadow like that.

So you'd see it from the back
of the stalls.

She'd never have dreamt
of wearing it in public.

No.

I was thinking about Carmen...

She's a pretty fiery woman.

She might seem a bit gruff at first,

but she's a good sort.

Perhaps she's a bit of a...
shrinking violet?

Yes, maybe that's what it is.

Do you know anything
about her civil status?

-Her civil status?
-Well, is she married, or... ?

No. I haven't heard her
say anything about a bloke.

-So, do you have plans for Whitsun?
-Eh?

-I don't care much for these holidays.
-No...

With no family to worry about,
it's just like any weekend.

With our hours it's hard to find someone.

Crikey, that's good!

Perhaps one should find another chef
to make it work.

-The cured lamb is smashing. Try it.
-I'm fine, thanks.

-You won't regret it.
-No, I...

-Come on!
-No.

I'm a vegetarian.

-Vegetarian?
-Yes.

The type of vegetarian
who doesn't eat meat?

Yes, exactly that type.

I didn't think they existed in real life.

-Ethel? The sauce?
-Blast!

-How long will this take?
-Half an hour, tops.

-That's enough.
-Of course.

Margareta opens with her part.

Recent news stories, full trust
in police leadership et cetera.

-I've memorised it.
-Fine.

Carl-Otto will then talk
about the Stockholm police work...

Our important cooperation with elected
representatives at City Hall, etc.

And keep questions to a minimum.

-Keep a tight rein on the journalists.
-Not so they notice.

I'm joking.

Take it easy. We'll be fine.

Five minutes.

Thank you, that's enough.

Thank you.

I thought you'd like that sort of thing.

-What?
-Women touching you.

Rumour has it
that you yourself are a homo.

I think you should stop defending queers

and start doing your job instead.

Shall we?

Ladies first.

Welcome. Nice to see
so many people here,

even if the reason is problematic.

Recent turbulence surrounding
certain things I've said,

has hardly been beneficial,

either for my own work
or that of my City Hall colleagues,

or for the important work
of the Stockholm police force.

I want to take the opportunity to express
my respect for the city's police force.

Our able police officers who work so hard

to make Stockholm
a safe and pleasant city.

I have, however, no confidence
in Police Commissioner Levin,

who sees it as his task to attack, rather
than protect, vulnerable individuals.

-His bigoted attitude to homosexuality...
-Someone put a stop to this!

...and the unofficial registration
of sexual minorities that he sanctions,

is the real scandal.

-Chief Commissioner, any comments?
-What is this registration?

-On what grounds?
-How many different registers are there?

One more thing: I have understood

that this so-called affair is a liability
for the Social Democrats

and that I am a liability to the party.

Therefore I hereby resign from office,
with immediate effect.

Thank you.

Did you know about her resignation?

-Any comments, Chief Commissioner?
-One at a time.

-Hello?
-Hello!

-Is Mum at home?
-No. She's at the Royal, I think.

No. I've just been there.

-Swotting for your driving theory test?
-It's so boring.

-Hi.
-Is Britt home?

No, she's at a meeting.

Much as I'd like to...

-Why haven't you returned my calls?
-I had nothing to say.

-You could have asked me how I was.
-As you deserve, I expect.

I don't regret it. It was a relief
to be honest for once.

-You will regret it.
-Don't tell me how I...

When you realise what you've lost
because you couldn't control yourself.

-No, I'm not as good as you at that.
-You've behaved like a child.

I'm not prepared to do just anything
to cling to power.

Be invited to the nice soirées,
meet the right people...

You're being unfair!

-Am I?
-I've accomplished a lot more than you!

One has to have power to accomplish
anything, or you can't do a thing!

Power requires compromise.

You have to know when to talk,
and when not to.

You have to be dishonest.

-Are you going to be an activist now?
-I'd love to.

Where will you have more clout:

In the square with a placard,
or as city commissioner?

Eh?

-What's this?
-Thank you!

-For what?
-The press conference. I'm so proud.

Got any fags?

Okay, let's make a lovely pizza.

Who is that? Is this one you?

-And then we do like this...
-What are we making?

Strong legs.

Do you want to come up and...

...have some tea?

-Dricka te?
-Yeah. Dricka te.

Am I to believe
that all you want is to drink tea?

Just dricka te and talk. Nothing else.

I wouldn't lie to
you about something like that.

Or anything else, I hope.

What?

It's the only promise I want from you
if you want us to carry on together.

Never lie to me.

I will never lie to you about anything.
I promise you that.

-So, dricka te, you said?
-Yeah. Dricka te!

-This is me.
-Nice-

SPECIAL DELIVERY

Anything exciting?

Just junk mail. I thougt Sweden was a
socialist country without junk mail.

Social democratic. Moderately socialist.

Tea room is that way, my lady.

-That smells nice.
-I hope it's nice.

You should cook more often.

-Where's Mum?
-She...

Your mother and I are going to separate.

-What?
-I want to talk to Christina.

-She doesn't want to talk to you.
-Got the cops with you?

-Christina!
-Get out!

-Christina, we need to talk!
-Leave, before you get hurt.

-This bastard spied on us.
-Christina!

Tail between your legs, bloody kulak!

-Come on. Finish your packing.
-I'm coming.

Now!

CLOSED

WE'VE MOVED

-Hi, Christina.
-Could you give this to Nina?

-I can't leave the door right now.
-When you can. Thank you.

Mum...

I remember dreaming when I was little,

that you would come and get me
in a nice car.

It never happened.

And then maybe it was too late.
Who knows?

I have bigger dreams now.
Something you wouldn't understand.

I'm leaving to make my dream reality.

Don't try to come and find me.
Christina.
