The Restaurant (2017–…): Season 3, Episode 5 - Hemkomsten - full transcript

-There's money missing from the till.
-Missing money?

There is someone who seems
to have close ties to these individuals.

I'm pregnant.

There'll be three of us.

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

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

Or anything else, I hope!

I've understood that this so-called affair
is a liability for the Social Democrats.

Therefore, I hereby resign from office
with immediate effect.

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

This John is a bad influence.
He's no good for you.



-I demand...
-You can't order me around!

Here you are.

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

-Why did you contact me?
-You have the right background.

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

Don't move, I beg you.

I want as little to do with
you as possible.

3 YEARS LATER

MAY 1971

The elm trees in Stockholm's
Kungsträdgården Park

are one of the world's
most picturesque places.

Stockholm is a national capital.

The city council does not have the right

to cut down these elms.



The birches and the elms

are friends of me and you

The birds and the trees

they have feelings too

The birches and the elms

are friends of me and you

Hope it doesn't fall - oh!

-Here you are.
-Thank you.

We've already got one page full.

Hi there. What's going on here?

We're going to demonstrate against
the city's plans to cut down the elms.

-Do you have a permit?
-Yes.

-Fine.
-Won't you sign our petition?

-Maybe another time.
-Come on. Your name will be first!

-You can brag about it at the station.
-I'm sure I'll be promoted right away.

Good luck.

SAVE THE ELMS! SAVE THE ELMS!

Uno!

Hello. It's been a while.

Do you have a minute?

-I'm on my way home, but...
-I'll walk with you.

Okay...

I need your help with something.

We've found them.

-John and his gang?
-We've taken some photos.

I need help in identifying
some of them.

Do you have time this evening?

-Nina's, at seven?
-I can do that.

See you there.

THE RESTAURANT

EPISODE 25
THE HOMECOMING

-There's money missing again.
-Oh?

It's the third time this month.

That's common. Sometimes
there's too much, sometimes too little.

We've been short each time.
That hasn't happened in years.

Maybe we should talk to Lena
about the new staff.

-I hope you're not working too hard.
-Gustaf!

-Why didn't you say you were coming?
-It was a sudden decision.

And Roos!
All the old gang are here.

-So good to see you, Gustaf.
-Likewise.

-What brings you here?
-Our tenants left, we're fixing the house.

-Of course.
-And Astrid wants a birthday party.

-I thought we might hold it here.
-Of course! That's a great idea.

And we were also considering...

...inviting Peter and his daughters.

How do you feel about that?

I understand.

No, of course you can invite him.

And...it would be nice
to see Anitha and Karin.

Have you been in touch with Christina?

No.

I've continued to search for her,
of course.

But no.

She's contacted her friend Lena,
who works here.

And had her let me know
she's all right.

But that's all.

Nina...

What can I do?

-It might be about 20 people.
-Wow!

Hilma and Arvid and their families
alone make almost 10.

I expect you to join us.

-Do you want me to?
-No, I don't. Astrid does.

-Well then.
-Good.

Beef à la Rydberg ready!

A nearby farmer found empty rounds
in the woods. They've been practising.

Whom do you see?

Well, we have John Hansen, of course.

This is Kicki.
I guess her name is Katarina.

-I don't recall her surname.
-Write what you know on the back.

Of course.

Is this everyone you've seen?

Yes.

-What happens now?
-We'll continue our surveillance.

I'd love to help. I can get time off...

You'll be recognised.
It's an unnecessary risk.

-Are you ready to order?
-Not yet.

Take your time.

Lindåsa Farm, Hälleforsnäs

I'm in and I call.

We agreed that you'd pay off your debt,
didn't we?

You know me. I've owed you money
before and I've always paid up.

Never this much.
You've lost all control.

I will pay. I swear it.

I've been patient with you, Roos.

Because I like you.

But when my patience runs out,
it's over.

The money is on its way.
Lasse, I'll bring it in a few days.

-Hello!
-Hello.

-How's it going?
-Slowly.

The girls and I are planning
to go out and eat later.

-Want to come?
-Absolutely.

-Have you been here before?
-Yes, I even know the owner.

Lilly says you're writing
for the nursery school inquiry.

Yes, I'm writing a report on what we did
with nursery schools in Stockholm.

-You really promoted the issue.
-How?

We expanded them,

we implemented clearer
educational goals...lots of things.

-Will anything come of the inquiry?
-I think so.

The plan is to have
public pre-schools nationwide.

-Not all Social Dems are obstructionist.
-Just most of them.

At least the ones in City Hall. They're
the party that wants to fell the elms.

Here you are, some starters.

Hi!

-Great to see you.
-You too. This is Angelo, the owner.

-We worked together at DK.
-Hello.

This is on the house.
Maggan's friends are my friends.

-Have a lovely evening.
-Thank you.

-Grazie.
-Thanks.

Friends of the Earth
plan to protect the trees.

We're on their telephone list.

You can sign up, too.

Yes... We could.

-Everyone is welcome.
-Of course.

Henriksdal Tavern

-Roos!
-Good morning, Mr Löwander.

-I hope I'm not imposing.
-Not at all, come in.

No, I prefer the fresh air.

How are you doing, sir?

-I'm fine, thanks. And you?
-I'm just dandy.

I have a question
that may seem a bit strange.

I manage the finances at Nina's.
And I'm grateful for the job.

But the fact is
that I miss the dining room.

And I was thinking that Henriksdal
has a more traditional profile.

And that perhaps you would
have need of a head waiter.

One with extensive experience.

I'm afraid I have
all the staff I need right now.

I understand.

It was just a shot in the dark.

Until we meet again, sir.

-Mummy, I can't do it!
-Keep trying.

Shall I help you?

There you go!
Keep going, while I finish my work.

We're starting.

Well?

Do you want to start, Gunilla?

I need to be more...strict in my thinking.

More scientific.

I still have a lot of bourgeois thinking.

Is that why you read things like this?

Roses, Kisses and Death. The very
worst kind of bourgeois escapism.

Isn't it?

Yes.

Is real life too harsh for you?

I think the worst thing
is that you hid it under your mattress.

-How can we trust you, Gunilla...
-I realise you can't.

I lie.

It's one of my flaws.

Yesterday you said you wondered
if the revolution would come.

-No I didn't.
-Yes, you did. I heard you.

If there's one thing
we don't need in this group,

it's people who don't dare
to look the truth in the eye.

We're about to enter an active phase.
We have to be able to trust everyone.

To the death.

I promise to deal with my flaws.
My bourgeois thinking.

So what are you going to do with this?

Go on.

Do another one.

That's enough.

-She understands. That's enough.
-She understands?

-And you're the judge of that?
-Mao says to educate with persuasion.

-Not coercion and repression.
-Don't quote Mao at me.

That's not what I meant...
But Gunilla is our friend, right?

She made a mistake,
but this is enough.

You can go now, Gunilla.

And you others, too.

-I understand you're upset, but...
-Never question me in front of others!

No...of course.

John. I'm sorry.

Forgive me.

I won't do it again.

-...all the chicken wire.
-You think we have to?

What are you planning?

I know you're planning something.

And you said we were
about to enter an active phase.

Why can't you tell me?

-Don't you trust me anymore?
-Yes, I trust you.

I will tell you.
But it's not all planned yet.

I don't want you to worry about this.

We have a birthday dinner.
The manager's sister-in-law.

I'll be attending,
so Nisse will be in charge of the food.

-Any requests for the menu?
-I have some ideas. We'll talk.

Carmen, you'll be in charge
of the regular orders.

-Can we talk?
-Sure.

I quit.

-What?
-It's obvious you think I'm a lousy chef.

-I may as well work somewhere else.
-Is this about the birthday dinner?

You gave it to a vegetarian!
Is the Rabbit family coming to visit?

-No, I...
-You think he's better than me.

Why not just slap me
and tell me to go to hell?

Cool your jets.

Because I'll be busy,
one of you will handle the dinner

and one will handle
the regular cooking, right?

And the regular cooking
will be difficult, because I'm gone.

And I'd rather have you handle it,
if you get my drift.

You'll keep this
between the two of us, right?

-Of course.
-Good.

No thanks.

-No, I don't think so.
-No? Really?

-Hi, Astrid.
-Hi!

-Happy birthday.
-I'm so glad you came.

-Anitha and Karin send their love.
-Tell them thanks.

-Let's try to get together.
-Absolutely.

Peter.

Hi.

-Great to see you.
-Same here.

You might not recognise my kids,
it's been a few years.

You've certainly grown up!
Hi there. Hi.

-And is this Arvid?
-Hi.

-This is Anna.
-Peter Löwander. Charmed.

-Calle, hello.
-Peter. It's been a long time.

Peter. Welcome to Nina's.

Thanks.

I guess this was all a bit much.

Orders up!

-Orders up! What are you doing!
-Take it easy.

They'll get cold!
This is a disaster, I knew it!

No, no, no. Take a deep breath.
This is going just fine.

I tasted your sauce, it's perfect.

Now breathe.

-The food was fabulous.
-I have some excellent chefs.

-I had hoped to see Anitha and Karin.
-I'm afraid they're at the opera.

My my! By themselves?

No, with Ester and Mirko.

-So Ester and Mirko are still together.
-Yes.

-But the girls live with you?
-No, Anitha studies law in Uppsala.

And Karin lives with Ester.

-Are you still happy in Tanzania?
-Oh, yes.

But we've begun considering when to
move back home for Mårten's schooling.

So she went with Ester
when she left you?

-That sort of seems...
-Come and visit us before it's too late.

-It sort of seems what?
-Oh, nothing.

What time of year
is a good time to come?

Where is Christina, by the way?

She couldn't come.

-Obviously, but where is she?
-Listen, I think...

I heard she ran off with a communist.
Maybe she's in China.

-Let's sing for the birthday girl.
-I thought you'd never get around to it!

Right... Long may you live on,
Long may you live on

Oh, may you live
to be a hundred years old!

Oh yes, she will live on
Oh yes, she will live on

Oh yes, she will live
to be a hundred years old!

-Cheers!
-Cheers.

I don't want to interrupt, but
I wanted to thank you for the great food.

-This is the man to thank.
-The mocha parfait was wonderful.

-Have a nice evening.
-You too.

You have every right
to be proud of yourself.

Yes, really, Nisse. Congratulations!

-Thanks.
-Calle must be very pleased.

And above all relieved.

Why?

He wasn't sure how to manage tonight
with him at the dinner.

He thought it would be better
for me to handle regular orders,

because it was better
if any mistakes happened at the dinner.

-But no mistakes happened.
-That's right. Congrats.

So this is where you're hiding.

I want to tender my resignation.

-Why?
-You don't have confidence in me.

I put you in charge of the dinner.
It went great, Astrid thanked you.

-She just said that to be polite.
-What more do you want?

A laurel wreath?

-You expected me to fail!
-No I didn't.

-Did Carmen say that?
-I won't tell you who said it.

-Carmen?
-Okay, it was Carmen!

But I've been working here for three
years, and I've done everything I could...

-And then I hear that...
-Nisse, you have to learn to ignore her.

-She doesn't respect me!
-She feels threatened by you.

Haven't you worked that out?

Good work.

I apologise if I lost my temper earlier.

Don't worry about it, Peter. I'm so glad
you came. Let's make this a tradition.

-Goodbye.
-Let's get together again before we go.

I'd love to.
Just drop by Henriksdal.

Look... Can I just...

Roos came by the other day
looking for a job as head waiter.

-What?
-He said he misses the dining room.

He even offered to wait tables.

-He could do that here, couldn't he?
-I'll talk to him.

Good. Goodbye.

It was a great party.

My husband doesn't know I'm here.

I didn't want to worry him
unnecessarily.

I even made up an excuse
to come home.

I feel that something is wrong.

-Where are you going?
-Just out.

-Can't I come along?
-Not today.

Hi.

Hi.

I just wanted to thank you.

-It was nothing.
-I'm embarrassed about...

You don't have to explain.

I'm glad you were there.

I won't say anything about...this.

Good.

Thanks.

-Hey, honey.
-Hey!

-Look what I bought.
-Oh, this is such a beautiful book!

How sweet of you!

-Four months! Like our bun.
-Yeah, fantastic!

The little fingers!

-Have you felt any kicks?
-I'm not sure.

Sometimes I think maybe that was
the baby moving, but I'm not sure.

Oh, look at this!

-It already has hair.
-Have you been reading ahead?

A bit.

Look, it looks like you.

This one is even more like you.

-Hi, Nina, this is Uno Nilsson.
-Hi.

-Am I interrupting anything?
-Not at all.

Well, I...

Last we talked, you asked me
to let you know if I hear from Christina.

Yes?

I haven't spoken to her,
but I know where she is.

It's not very far away.

-She seems to be well and...
-Can I get in touch with her?

-That might be difficult.
-Because she doesn't want me to?

Because of other reasons,
which I can't discuss.

Uno, this is my daughter
we're talking about.

I understand that
you don't know how I feel...

She does her shopping in Hälleforsnäs.

You can probably find her there.
But don't tell her I was involved.

Okay.

And...

You have a grandchild.
A little girl.

-This is what was in the attic.
-Look at this!

This is great.

-Is that a new bracelet?
-Yes.

Karin and I each got one
from Mirko when we went to the opera.

-Is it gold?
-Yes.

The opera was great. You must see it,
Elisabeth Söderström is incredible.

Anitha, I have to say...

I don't think you should
accept gifts from Mirko.

No?

-You don't know what his money's from.
-But you do?

He's a criminal.
No matter what your mum says.

In law school we learned that people
are innocent until proven guilty.

-He's a criminal, Anitha.
-He's never been convicted.

-Just be happy I have a nice bracelet.
-He gives you things all the time.

I understand if you prefer
being with him and Mum than me.

But I'm not about to start competing
in gift-giving.

Is that what you think?
That I prefer being with them?

What am I expected to think?
I never see you.

I was here a week ago
and I'm here now!

-Right, to borrow textbooks.
-It's always me calling. Why don't you?

You don't even know
when you last spoke to Karin.

Phone her! She thinks
you're angry about something.

Right then, I'll phone her.

You're pathetic, needing a family dinner
as an excuse to see us.

-Roos.
-Roos! It's Mirko Kostelic.

You may not remember me, but we met
when you were head waiter at DK.

-Aha?
-Yes.

I believe we have a score to settle,
you and I.

I'm glad you could come.

Lasse's told me a lot about you.

I've assumed all your debts to Lasse.

And your debts to Herman at Valla
and to Svea Källare.

-I never have difficulty getting paid.
-I will pay.

I've just temporarily
lost control of my finances,

but Lasse and I have an agreement.

Not anymore.

That will be all, Lasse.

This is what you owe me.
I want it by the end of the week.

This is an impossible amount.

-I don't owe anywhere near this much.
-Yes, you do.

It's all specified.
With expenses and an interest rate.

But please, how can I raise this kind
of money in a week? It's impossible!

-You manage the finances at Nina's.
-Not by myself.

Mrs Löwander needs to sign
for sums in excess of 2,000 kronor.

Sort it.

-Excuse me, sir. Are you Mark Knight?
-Yeah, hi.

I'm from the American Embassy.

Hi.

-What did he request?
-What?

-The suit? What song did he request?
-He didn't request a song.

He's...and old acquaintance
from back home.

-Oh, you know him?
-Just a bit.

He works in Stockholm now and
wondered if we could meet some time.

That's great!

Hi.

-Thanks for coming.
-Yeah.

You want to...?

We've been trying to reach you by mail
for a long time. Are you aware of that?

Yeah, well, I'm sure you are.

-What do you want from me?
-I'll come to that.

First of all, I want you
to look at some pictures.

We want to know what happened.

Who did what?

-Is it souped up?
-Oh yeah.

Hop in the car.

Christina...

How did you find me?

I have an old friend who lives nearby,

who said they'd seen you here one day.

With a child.

So you've been sitting here
waiting for me to show up.

Yes. I have.

-How are you?
-Fine.

-Do you live nearby?
-No.

-And John is the father of...?
-Moa-Li.

Moa-Li. That's a lovely name.

I have a present for Moa-Li.
May I give it to her?

Hi, Moa-Li.

I have a present for you.

You can open it here. That's it.

Mummy, look!

I can see it.

-You know what? It's time to go home.
-Okay.

-Do you ever go to Stockholm?
-Very rarely.

You know you can come
and visit whenever you like.

Do you know that, Moa-Li?

There are lots of lovely teddies
you can play with at Granny's.

I don't want to see you again.

I have my own life,
I don't want you butting in.

-Christina, I won't butt in...
-I said stay away and you still came.

Don't do it again.

-Hi, Roos, it's Gustaf.
-Hello.

-How are you?
-Just fine, thank you.

-And you?
-Thanks, I'm well.

I saw Peter, and he said you'd been
looking for work at Henriksdal.

I was thinking
that perhaps I'd fit in better

at a more traditional restaurant
like Henriksdal.

If you really want to wait tables,
I can talk to Nina.

I'm sure we can work that out.

Roos?

-It's too late.
-What? No it isn't. What do you mean?

Look, I can hear
something is wrong. Can we meet?

I...I'm in a terrible bind, Gustaf,
to tell the truth.

I'll come to your place tomorrow
and you can tell me what's happened.

-All right?
-Yes.

It can't be that bad, Roos.
Take care of yourself now.

Yes, you too.

She sings to her babies,
eleven small trolls

the loveliest words that she knows:

"Oh ay ay ay ay boof!
Oh ay ay ay ay boof!

Oh ay ay ay ay...boof!"

Christina, I want to talk to you.

Good night.

Where is the teddy bear from?

I ran into Mum today.

She walked up to me
while I was shopping.

She walked up to you?
Just like that?

She said some friend of hers
had seen me with Moa-Li.

You know we're not to see outsiders.
And you know why.

-All of these rules!
-Yes! They exist for a reason!

Because we have a mission.

The community centre
at the end of May.

I've seen the map.
What are you planning?

-You went through my things?
-You're the father of my child.

I have a right to know
what you're planning.

Tread lightly.

You know what?
I don't believe in this anymore, John.

Nothing you predicted has happened.

You said we'd have a revolution
by summer. Three years ago.

The working class would
throw off the yoke of capitalism.

Has that happened? No.

-Instead we break each other down.
-You're so bloody weak!

Yes, maybe I am.

But I don't get it.

This new world of equality doesn't apply
to women. We do all the work here.

We do the cooking,
we clean and do laundry, while...

Shut your mouth.

Did we get any mushrooms today?

Nisse!

-Did we get any mushrooms today?
-The chef said to ignore you.

-You can at least answer the question.
-I'm just obeying orders.

What if I ask, then?
Did we get any mushrooms today?

-Yes, we got mushrooms today.
-Thank you.

This place feels
more like a sandpit than a kitchen.

-I didn't start throwing the sand.
-And you're saying I did?

Stop it now!

Remember that I'm a friend of the Chef.
I can get you both fired.

-Are you going out? Now?
-Yes, I'm going to see Bellan.

-He seems to be having problems.
-I'm sorry, Gustaf, you can't.

Can't? Why not?

I want you to come with me
to the doctor's.

He rang this morning.

They want to see us
as soon as possible.

Why?

Why do you need to go to the doctor?

Astrid?

It's all right, Gustaf.
Sometimes things come up.

Give my best to Astrid.

Goodbye, Gustaf.

As you know,
we've done a number of tests.

And I'm afraid
we're quite sure of the diagnosis.

Done tests... When did you do that?

Is something wrong?

Astrid has acute myeloid leukaemia.

Leukaemia?

Cancer of the blood.

-Chef Carl Svensson in Nina's office.
-This is Uno Nilsson. Is Nina in?

Hi, Uno. What is this about?

Well...I...just wanted to know if...

...if she got hold of Christina.

-She's not here, so I don't know.
-Okay.

-I'll call back another time. Goodbye.
-Goodbye.

-Hello, I'd like to make a withdrawal.
-Hello.

Cash, please.

Withdrawals of this size
must be submitted in advance.

I'm afraid there was no time.

Here is my identification.

I'm afraid I can't help you.

You see that Mrs Löwander herself
signed the request.

Nina's has been a customer
of this bank since it opened,

and the DK used this bank for decades!

Do you really want to be the person
who makes us change banks?

Just a moment. I need to make
a quick call to Mrs Löwander.

Please...

-Hello.
-Hello.

I'm afraid we couldn't
get hold of Mrs Löwander.

But...
The signature appears to be in order.

So we'll allow the withdrawal.

-You said you wanted cash?
-Yes, please.

Nina, open up, please.

Nina.

Nina.

I'm not well.

-Go away, you might catch it.
-Then let me catch it.

Open up.

I just need a bit of sleep.

Did you see Christina?

Nina... Can't you tell me?

Just go.

If you're not at work tomorrow,
I'll be back with a locksmith.

-Long run?
-No, maybe 5 km.

-Where's Moa-Li? Who's watching her?
-Come...

Where is she?

John?

-She's not here.
-What do you mean, not here?

We've decided that it's better if Moa-Li
is raised by other comrades for now.

-What are you talking about?
-You're not good for her.

You have a bourgeois influence.

We owe her an environment
where she can develop freely.

You can't be serious.

Now you've time to consider
your character flaws.

-Jesus, John, she's my daughter!
-This was our decision.

-Where is Moa-Li?
-Settle down.

-Christina, calm down.
-Where is my daughter?

-Where is Moa-Li? Where is she?
-Christina, calm down.
