The Restaurant (2017–…): Season 3, Episode 6 - Almarna - full transcript

Did you see Christina?

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

I said stay away and you still came.

Don't do it again.

Friends of the Earth plan to protect
the trees. We're all on a phone list.

You can sign up, too.

We want to know what happened.
Who did what.

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

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

Never this much.
You've lost all control.

I'd like to make a withdrawal.



Cash, please.

Astrid has acute myeloid leukaemia.

-Leukaemia?
-Cancer of the blood.

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

Where is Moa-Li?

-Where is Moa-Li?
-Calm down, Christina!

Where's my daughter?

Good morning.

-Good morning.
-There's a crowd at Kungsträdgården.

-Near the elms.
-Yes, I hope they'll stay there.

-The people or the elms?
-Both.

So that the bigwigs learn to listen
to what the people think.

We've had no deliveries today.

-What?
-No meat or fruit or vegetables.



Carl Svensson at Nina's here.
We've had no deliveries today.

We haven't been paid.
So there won't be any deliveries.

There must be an error. Could you
deliver anyway? You will be paid.

This isn't the first time.

All old invoices must be paid,
then we can discuss new deliveries.

I'll have to get back to you. Goodbye.

Come in.

-Hello. Am I disturbing you?
-No.

-How are you?
-I'm fine.

We haven't had any deliveries today.
No meat, fruit or vegetables.

-Why not?
-They haven't been paid.

-Despite several reminders.
-I'll have to ring Bellan.

I'd also like to talk about yesterday.
Perhaps a bit later?

I'm fine now.
What is there to discuss?

We'll talk later.

THE RESTAURANT

EPISODE 26
THE ELMS

There's a 125 for sale in Gnesta.

-What make is it?
-Honda, I think.

Rice cooker...

What do you want -a BMW?
A police motorbike?

If it's good enough for the pigs
it's good enough for me.

John, can we talk?

John?

-A 125, you said?
-Yes, exactly.

It's a good price.
We should take a look.

Tell Mirko that he and I
are finished with each other.

You don't get to decide.

Be good.

Hello. This is Nina. I've been
looking for you all morning.

-I've been running a few errands.
-We haven't had any deliveries.

The suppliers say they haven't
been paid, even after speaking to you.

I see.

"I see"?

Is that all you have to say?
What's going on?

I'll call the bank.

-It's a misunderstanding.
-They have to be paid today.

-Do you hear me?
-Yes. Of course.

-Call me as soon as it's settled.
-Naturally.

-I'll sort it out.
-Good.

I've taken stock.

We have meat for seven tournedos.
but that's all there is.

There's some salmon. And vegetables.

-Will we have any deliveries tomorrow?
-There's no way of knowing.

Once, at sea, we were driven ashore
by a hurricane. In the West Indies.

After a week, all we had to serve
was snails and mashed turnip.

It's better than it sounds.

Any other suggestions?

If you give me till tomorrow,
I can come up with something.

-Me too.
-Good. We'll leave it at that.

The doctors have diagnosed me
with leukaemia.

Cancer of the blood.

It's a very serious illness.

Treatment will begin immediately,
so we're hopeful.

-It's in God's hands now.
-I'm going to get through this.

The treatment will be demanding,
but I'm going to get well.

RADIOLOGY DEPARTMENT

I would like to be cared for at home.

We don't recommend that.

I know that I'll have to come in
for transfusions and check-ups.

But I'll make better progress
in my own home.

The risk of infection increases
in the home.

You'll feel sick from the chemotherapy
and will need looking after.

We would pay for a nurse
who could come to the house.

As you said yourself,
you'll still have to come in.

The journeys will tire you out.
Wouldn't it be better if...

I don't know how long I have left.
I want to be cared for at home.

Astrid...

I haven't given up.
But it's in God's hands, as you said.

He might decide to call me home.

My wife is very decided about this.

We need one more person.
Who do you vote for?

-I think it's obvious: Martin.
-Great.

-Can he drive a motorbike?
-He won't be driving.

You and Kicki will be driving.
I vote for Martin, too.

-Me too.
-Then we'll talk to him.

That's all for now.

About that book...

John...

I'm busy.

I just want to say that I see now
that you were right.

I've been a bad influence on Moa-Li.

I'm going to take the opportunity
to work on myself.

I've begun a self-criticism essay.

All I want is to see Moa-Li.

Just for a little while.

I know she misses us.

-Both you and me.
-Her feelings are irrelevant.

We are the adults, we can judge
what's best for her.

I'll think about it.

I know you want what's best
for Moa-Li and me.

-Any primeurs for me today, Olsson?
-I've got some nice asparagus.

You can have a couple of extra cases.
Half price.

-Something wrong with them?
-They were for Nina's.

But they've stopped paying their bills.
I don't know what's going on.

What do you say?

Sure, bring them in.

-What have you got there?
-Smelt.

I bought a couple of kilos
from the chaps on the waterfront.

-What do you do with them?
-Deep-fry them.

Like they do in the Mediterranean.

-Served with chips and remoulade.
-Sounds good.

-And this is...a carbonara, isn't it?
-Yes. I found a bit of pork belly.

A few crumbs of bacon is all you need
for people to think of it as a meat dish.

This is good.

Don't eat it all.

I think it's a bit...mute.

Mute?

What do you want it to say?
"Hi, Nisse. How are you today?"

No, but I just think it's a bit...
anonymous.

-Well, don't remove the bacon, then.
-I think it's really nice.

The pork won't go far. If we could make it
without meat, we'd have another dish...

I'm very happy.
We'll put it on the menu.

-And this is...?
-Vegetarian beef à la Rydberg.

With mushrooms instead of meat.

That's good too.

I fried the mushrooms in oil and garlic.

-I can't say that I miss the meat.
-Are we eating the same thing?

This is just fried vegetables.

The vegetarian beef à la Rydberg
is going on the menu.

And it's quite anonymous.

And mute.

Good dishes, all three. Thanks.

-Hello. I've been trying to ring you.
-No, we just got back.

One of our suppliers said something odd.

Now isn't a good...

-He said that Nina's has stopped paying.
-What?

-So it's not true?
-No, of course not.

-Olsson says he hasn't been paid.
-Nina and Bellan will deal with it.

I'd watch Bellan if I were you.
Why did he come to me looking for a job?

I've other things on my mind right now.

I'm just saying that he seemed troubled
when I saw him.

Astrid has leukaemia.

She's undergoing treatment.

She's just started.

Gustaf...

I think she knew.

It's why she wanted to come home.

Gustaf, I...

-Have you heard from Bellan?
-No.

-He isn't returning my calls.
-Strange.

-This won't do. We can't keep him on.
-No.

I'm only bringing this up
because I care about you.

-Have you started drinking again?
-No.

You sounded like you
were slurring yesterday.

-How could you tell through a door?
-It sounded like you were.

What gives you the right
to pry into my affairs?

-Nothing does.
-Right! Nothing does!

-I'm worried about you.
-Don't interfere!

I smell it on you at work.
Others have noticed it, too.

You're discussing me
like a bunch of old gossips?

Nina...

Do you think this is
what I need right now?

Rubbish like this? I don't need it!

Leave.

Get out of my office.

You've no right to talk to me like this.

This paragraph seems
a little long-winded.

You start by saying
why you wanted more preschools.

When describing what happened,
it's almost the same wording again...

I see. I'll shorten it, or reformulate it.

Are you using "preschool" now,
rather than "nursey school"?

Preschool sounds more modern.

Apart from that it's really good.

Lilly speaking.

Yes, hello.

I see.

I'll pass the message on
and meet you there.

That was the phone list.
They're felling the elms tonight.

-Is it actually happening?
-Sounds like it.

I'll pass on the message
and then we'll go there.

I've got my hands full with this...

What? Your deadline isn't until Friday.

This is the only assignment I have.

I want to do a good job.

It's already really good. You just need
to do a quick touch-up. Come on!

Tonight at 3 am the elms are going
to be felled with chainsaws.

Our task is to ensure the lumberjacks
get to do their job without interference.

As you know there are a large number
of protesters present.

While we want to avoid
any confrontation,

we need to be prepared to use
an element of force if necessary.

-Understood?
-Yes, sir!

The World Bank is meeting
in Stockholm.

At the Civic Centre near Norra Bantorget.

We'll prevent the meeting
by burning the building to the ground.

On the night of 25 May we'll take
this route, on two light motorbikes.

Kicki and Torsten will drive,
you and I ride pillion.

At the Centre, we jump off,
break the glass doors

and each throw in a Molotov cocktail.

-Won't there be security guards?
-No.

This is before the conference begins.
No reason to have any security then.

So, what do you say?
Are you the right man for this?

Yes.

Say it: I'm the right man for this.

I'm the right man for this.

Good.

Ow! Bloody let go of me!

-Stop it! What are you doing?
-Whose side are you on?

She was already on the ground!
You damn idiot!

Uno! Uno!

-Why are you here? Go home!
-Calm down.

I said go home! Go home!

Back off!

Back off!

No! No!

No! Stop!

What's wrong?

Mark, wake up! It's just a dream.

Wake up!

What are you doing?

This was Kungsträdgården
at 2 am this morning.

Some 500 people rushed the hoarding

which had been erected round the elms.

Stones were thrown...

They only mention the police version.

Not a word about defending
an undemocratic decision.

The media is the mouthpiece
of the ruling class.

Though I'd like to think
we live in a democracy.

What happened last night?

-Are the elms still standing?
-Yes. We won.

Great.

You can see Moa-Li.

For a short while.
We'll meet in Kungsträdgården.

Inga-Lill will bring Moa-Li there.

That's great.

Thank you.

When did you get to bed?

We left the park around five.
So I got to bed at about six..

Poor thing...

-I was quite surprised to see you there.
-Yes.

-I was pretty surprised myself.
-Did Lilly drag you along?

She's on the telephone list
of Friends of the Earth.

I couldn't say no.

I don't know,
I don't really agree with it.

With what?

The protesting.

I followed this issue at City Hall.

A few trees is a cheap price to pay
for a good metro system.

I'm of the opposite opinion.
I understand the protesters.

You do?

Look around the city centre.
It's a concrete jungle.

And it's not just about the trees.

The politicians don't listen
to the people.

Those hippie types in the park,
are they "the people"?

They are a tiny but very loud group.

The Social Democrats
have everyone against them.

70 per cent of Stockholmers want
the elms to stay!

The Stockholmers have elected
their representatives.

It's how it works -as a citizen
you have to trust the politicians

to examine complex issues
and make the right decisions.

This is the attitude
that drives people crazy.

Attitude? It's how democracy works!

"We know best. Don't meddle
with the running of your city."

Nonsense! It's about making
rational, reasoned decisions.

-You can't build a society on...
-It's not about being rational, Mum!

You can study all aspects of the elms
and still conclude that they should stay.

But you don't get that.

Sooner or later it'll cost you your power.

"You"? I don't have any power any more.

You're still a die-hard Social Democrat.

You can fool Lilly, but not me.

Lilly's back in the park.

I excused myself, saying I have
to finish my report.

It's almost true, at least.

We should swap places, you and me.

Do you want to borrow
my police uniform?

I think we need a police officer like you.

Hello.

-Mr and Mrs Löwander?
-Yes. I'm Astrid. Hello.

I'm Gustaf.

My name is Yusuf. I'm a nurse.

I'm going to give you
a blood transfusion today.

I've also heard that
you've requested home care.

-Yes.
-I'd be happy to help.

I see.

I understand how you feel. I don't like
hospitals either -too many doctors!

I think I can speak for both of us,

if I say that we perhaps imagined
someone different...

You don't need to decide today.

Please don't get me wrong -
I'm sure you're highly competent...

-...but we imagined a woman, and...
-Someone less tanned?

-No, but...
-You don't need to decide now.

We'll do the blood transfusion,
then you can go home and think about it.

-How about that, Mrs Löwander?
-Please call me Astrid.

Astrid.

Morning!

Hi.

-Do you know if we'll get supplies today?
-No.

I still haven't got hold of Bellan.
I'll go to the bank myself.

We've got some new dishes,
would you like to try them?

That's not necessary. Thank you.

-We're off to the Civic Centre.
-Okay.

Let's leave them alone.

Hello. My name is Nina Löwander,
I own a restaurant called Nina's.

We've been having some problems
with payments lately.

I'd like to see all transactions
over the past two weeks.

-Of course, just a moment.
-Thank you.

-Shall we do a singing game?
-Yes!

Shall we?

Mummy's little birdie wanted to go riding
But she didn't have a saddle

She fell to the right
She fell to the left

And then she fell of her pony!

Hi. Could I have a hot dog, please.

Do you know what, darling...

We're going to play the running game.
Do you know it?

You hug my neck tightly,
and then we run as fast as we can...

Want to play that? Are you ready?

-What about Teddy?
-Teddy has to come too.

There...

Hold tight. Ready?

Christina?

-She's my daughter. Please?
-Come to me.

Please?

Moa-Li, we're going home now.

Let go of her!

She's mine. She's my daughter!

-Torsten!
-Let go!

Let her go! She's my daughter!

Listen, let go of her now.

Otherwise I'll tell John, and you won't
see her for a very long time.

-Come on, love.
-Moa-Li, go to Inga-Lill.

Christina, let go.

Mummy!

But this can't be right.

The entire overdraft allowance is gone.

100,000 in the red. That's impossible!

A large withdrawal was made recently.

You've signed the withdrawal slip,
Mrs Löwander.

Hello.

Hello.

How are you?

I'm fine.

Really?

-You've got to go. They'll be back soon.
-Who? John and the others?

They mustn't see me talking to you. Go!

John! Kicki! Hi.

-Did things go well?
-Yeah.

-Do you think it'll work?
-Absolutely.

-Where's Christina?
-Over there.

Inga-Lill went home with Moa-Li.

Here. If you ever need help...

...call me. You can call at any time.

Is she talking to a cop?

-Hi.
-Hi. What did the cop want?

He mistook me for someone.

STOCKHOLM PRESCHOOLS 1958-1966
1968 COMMITTEE REPORT

700,000 tonnes of bombs dropped
on Vietnam by the USA, of which...

Lilly!

Hi!

-You've handed it in. Are you tired?
-Yes, I am.

Then you can sleep here.
You can have my sleeping bag.

-Yes, thanks. Shall we go and eat?
-Yes. But you have to sign this.

Look, I'm starving. Let's eat first.

You don't want to, do you?
No, I thought as much.

-Stop it. Of course she...
-You don't know what I want to do.

The issue is more complex
than what you make it out to be.

-Naturally. You took part in the decision.
-I was not.

I don't understand you.
City Hall disregards its own population...

It was decided democratically.
Can you not accept that?

-The majority want to save the elms.
-Which majority is that?

-Which majority?
-Yes.

Just look around.

I need something to eat.

Are you coming?

Don't then!

Thanks.

How was it?

I only got to see her for a few minutes.

Could you try and find out
where Moa-Li is?

I know it's a lot to ask, but...

...you're my only friend here, Gunilla.

I can try.

Thank you.

I'm off now. Is everything
under control, Carmen?

Of course.

-Aren't you going home?
-Yes.

Any questions
about the vegetarian dishes?

-I know more than enough.
-I'm going. Bye now.

-The vegetarian Rydberg's in the fridge.
-Fried vegetables, perfect.

Just heat the vegetarian beef
à la Rydberg under the salamander.

-Christina Rehnskiöld is in the group.
-How do you know?

-I saw her in the park with the others.
-We know that they were there.

-Bloody pigs!
-Fascists!

Bleeding lackeys!

I spoke to her.
She didn't actually say so...

-...but I think she's ready to leave them.
-Don't meddle.

I met her by chance.

The park is on my beat. Why would
she think I'm connected with you?

Look -I know things about them
that could be of use to you.

Let me help you.
I just know they're up to something.

All right.

-I'll talk to your superior officer.
-Thanks.

She made us wear a scarf
if it was below 25 Celsius.

And a hat!

Mothers and clothes...

"Yusuf, are you going out without a hat?
You'll catch a cold!"

"Mum, look how sweaty I am."

"Oh no, you already have a chill.
Come in and I'll bed you down!"

-Do you have children?
-Yes.

-You do?
-Three.

Two sons and a daughter.
They're grown up now.

Yusuf...

I just wanted to say how happy I am
that you're doing this.

-I'll pay you a month's salary tomorrow.
-There's no hurry.

I wanted to ask you...

How...many people survive this?

I don't have any figures.
Astrid has a big battle ahead of her.

But she seems calm.
She doesn't seem afraid.

She's got a great sense of humour.
That's good, it makes her strong.

It's in God's hands... I only wish
I was as calm as she is.

She'll get through this.
Inshallah.

Yusuf, sorry...

-May I ask where you're from?
-Yes. I'm from Palestine.

-Did you come here with your family?
-With my sister.

My parents both died in a refugee camp.
My father was a doctor.

I'm sorry to hear that.
I didn't mean to...

-May I say something?
-Of course.

Don't worry about future events
in advance.

You think you can prepare yourself,
but you can't.

And you're alive today, aren't you?
So live today!

-I will. See you tomorrow.
-See you. Good night.

Not so dumb any more?
Has it started talking perhaps?

-What are you doing here?
-I forgot my wallet.

No one will order this sludge.
I'm only eating it to avoid waste.

-Watch you don't choke on it.
-Take your wallet and scram!

Bon appetit.

Hello!

Hello.

Why did you leave like that?

I really didn't want to sign that list.

Then don't do it.

No one's forcing you.

You're entitled to your opinion.

No one could force you anyway.

Could they?

No.

-No, that wouldn't be possible.
-Right.

Nina's.

Mrs Löwander, this is Roos.

We don't have anything to say
to each other.

I have nothing to say in my defence.

But I do want to apologise.

I've talked to the police.
You can expect to go to prison.

Thank you, Nina.

For everything that you and
the Löwander family have done for me.

Bellan?

I feel such an utter idiot.

He phoned me to apologise,
but I wouldn't listen.

-I could have prevented it.
-No.

It wasn't your fault, Nina.

None of us could have prevented it.

Can you stay here tonight?

I'll sleep here on the sofa.

Thank you.

-Good morning.
-Morning.

Would you like breakfast?

Yes, please.

She's asleep.

She's begun chemotherapy.

It's very tiring.
She's exhausted and nauseous.

As I said, if there's anything I can do,
anything at all, just say the word.

Thanks.

-Did you hear about Bellan?
-No.

Let's go outside.

The caretaker helped us get him down.

But...he was already dead.

I was going to have a meeting with him,

but I cancelled when I found out
Astrid was ill.

-Maybe I could have prevented it.
-It was his decision, no one else's.

I've heard a few things.

About Bellan?

-Did you know he gambled?
-Oh yes.

-On horses. He was often at the races.
-It was more than that.

He was up to his ears in debt.

From what I heard, to Lasse Vinge.

Was Vinge blackmailing him?

Mrs Löwander? You have a visitor.

Or Vinge sold his debts to someone
who'd collect more easily.

Mirko Kostelic, for example.

Forgive me if I'm disturbing you.

Do you have a moment?

I know what you're thinking.
But this isn't about Ester.

I've heard that Mirko
has done this before.

I've heard that Nina's is in trouble.
That's a shame.

If you're interested in selling, I'm
prepared to make a very generous offer.

Nina's is not for sale.

We could let an independent auditor
value the business.

I'd offer 25 per cent over that price.

Everything will be done by the book.

As I said, the restaurant is not for sale.

Nina...

I know you've had problems.
In your personal life too.

Sometimes I ask myself if it's worth it.
All the hard work.

This is your chance to leave it all
behind, not worry about making it work.

You just walk out of the door
with a big pile of money.

No need to do anything at all for years
unless you want to.

On Monday 17 May,
the politicians accepted

that they couldn't disregard public
opinion in favour of saving the elms.

Friends of the Earth have planted
new shrubs,

sown new grass
and cleaned up the park.

The majority opinion forced
politicians to renege on their decision

when they realised they couldn't
fell the elms.

An opinion poll showed 70 per cent
in favour of letting the elms remain.

The celebrations in Kungsträdgården
are in full swing.

"All we have is solidarity"
the people sing...

I've got an address.

Young and old...

-Won't you come with me?
-Not now.

All we have is solidarity

Faith in future and our humanity

Capitalism is all falsehood

Stands in the way of our brotherhood

Our struggle may be long

But together we are strong

-Turn it slowly.
-Cover it all.

Where's the VW?

John and Kicki drove off
to look at a motorbike.

-I'll cycle, then.
-Why not wait? They'll be back soon.

I'm not getting very much.

Hi.

Let's drive home.
