Badehotellet (2013) s01e03 Episode Script

Tell Mr.
Andersen that the switch is faulty.
I'm not paying a lazy electrician to do something I can do.
Do you have a boyfriend? My parents want to marry me off.
The count could be Amanda's suitor.
- Do you do business on holiday? - Only if a good idea should arise.
Mrs.
Aurland is the picture of health this year.
- Who had a gentleman caller? - I didn't have a caller.
It would be a lucky man who had the opportunity.
- Do you want me to come home? - No, you just go about your work.
He's ill.
I hope to send him to a sanatorium.
Please try again.
It's very important.
- Hello? - Ane, it's me.
Is Dad up? - He's sleeping.
- Will you go check on him? - And wake him up? - No, just check on him.
Dad? - Dad? - Yes.
- Fie, what's wrong? - Nothing.
How are you? We're fine.
Why are you calling at this hour? - What's going on? - I'm just calling home.
The telephone wasn't invented for your private use.
Sorry, Mr.
Andersen.
Dad, I have to go.
Meanwhile an executive from Copenhagen might have called.
- And made reservations.
- Hardly at this hour.
- I won't have any of your cheek.
- Sorry, Mr.
Andersen.
- I have to go home.
- What? I had a dream last night.
I dreamt that my father collapsed.
He was lying on the floor completely helpless.
- I called him early this morning.
- Had anything happened? - It was just a dream.
- He's ill.
His cough is worse.
I can't help worrying about him.
I shouldn't have gone so far away.
It was a mistake.
A big mistake.
I'll talk to Mrs.
Andersen.
She'll understand why I have to leave.
Leave? As in never coming back? - Mrs.
Andersen will be upset.
- She'll find someone else.
Not like you.
You're her favorite.
Haven't you noticed? Don't tell the others until I've spoken to Mrs.
Andersen.
- I want to tell her myself.
- As if I gossip! - What gossip? - Nothing.
Good morning.
- Did you already set the table? - We do it in the evening now.
- It saves time in the morning.
- What a good idea! Was it Fie's? Whose else? - Good morning, Martha.
- Good morning, Mrs.
Andersen.
Mrs.
Andersen, do you have a moment? The Frighs are going to the beach after breakfast.
They want a picnic basket.
- Julius.
- Yes.
- Julius.
- Yes? - When did you get this? - Last night.
You could have told me.
I can't prepare all this.
The pie is for Mrs.
Fjeldsø for this afternoon.
Sandwiches, cranberry jam, a bacon omelet, ham and meatballs? Then get moving instead of hanging about! We have extra orders.
Otilia, can you manage the shaving water? - Yes.
- Fie, check if we have cranberries.
Edith, find the ham.
Martha, you can warm the meatballs.
Fie, did you want to talk to me? It can wait.
- I didn't hear you.
Good morning! - Good morning.
- What book is that? - One I found in the parlor.
"Secrets of the woodland lake".
A natural history book? No, the body of a dead child is found in a lake.
Then a naked woman is found.
That's her.
- How frightening! Do you like it? - Yes, it's suspenseful.
- Mom said I could! - But I didn't.
- You said I could go.
- But your father doesn't think so.
- No, she's only 19.
- Now what? - Amanda wants to go to a party.
- But not in the Skaw! - I never get to do anything! - When I was your age - You never were my age.
- Enough! Let's have breakfast.
- I'll die if I have to stay here.
- Then do so quietly.
People are sleeping.
Why don't you call Ella and hear, if she's been to bed with Frederik? A lovely morning with sun and song, - Morning.
- Good morning.
Helene, you should take a morning dip.
It's wonderful.
- I've already been.
- But the clothesline is empty.
- I don't wear a swimsuit.
- Me first! Must I tell you again? Good morning.
How was the water? Wonderful.
- We're going to have lunch there.
- Lovely.
Good morning.
- Morning, Weyse.
- Morning.
A moment, gentlemen.
Guess what I just heard! Mrs.
Aurland hits the waves in the buff.
- You mean - Stark naked.
- You don't say! - She told me so herself.
- Did you see her? - No, unfortunately.
Mrs.
Aurland is a nudist! That's amusing.
- What's amusing? - Nothing.
You go ahead.
I'll go up and change.
Change clothes! After you, Mrs.
Weyse.
- Are the meatballs ready? - More caraway cheese! - Can you get it? - Mrs.
Aurland wants potatoes.
For breakfast? We'll have to boil some.
She wants them raw.
She says they taste like nuts.
Tell her they'll be right there.
We have to peel them.
- Mrs.
Frigh wants porridge.
- Hasn't it been served? Oh no, I forgot it! - It's burnt.
- You don't say.
- I'm sorry.
I'm very clumsy.
- I'll start a new pot.
- Edith says you're leaving.
- Edith I told her not to tell anyone until I told Mrs.
Andersen.
I don't mean to rush you, but the twins are getting restless.
- The porridge is almost ready.
- The picnic basket is just for four.
Our governess has hay fever.
Could you bring her breakfast? Of course.
My husband says you shouldn't seek a summer job - - if you suffer from hay fever.
Now the four of us are going to the beach.
- I'm looking forward to it.
- Have a nice day.
- The porridge is on its way.
- Thank you.
- Here you are.
- Thank you very much.
She'll be replaced, if she isn't better soon.
I won't have you spending your vacation looking after children.
- Do you like the porridge? - Miss? Please ask Mr.
Andersen about the faulty switch upstairs.
There you are, Mr.
Andersen.
When will the switch by the bathroom be repaired? - I intend on doing so today.
- It's highly dangerous.
Isn't it, Adam? Yes, electricity is not to be trifled with.
It can be extremely dangerous.
One of my colleagues at the high school Now it's installed, it would be nice to avail oneself of it in the evening.
- Have you ordered my pie? - Yes, Mrs.
Fjeldsø.
Mrs.
Weyse, remember our appointment.
- I will.
I just have to - Feeling nauseous again? - Where's Amanda? - She insists on going to the party.
Georg If she doesn't come to breakfast, she can stay in her room all day.
It will take a courageous man to put up with her.
- Then the count won't do.
- What? He would be perfect.
- Because he's a count? - I don't care if he's a count.
Really? Your potatoes, Mrs.
Aurland.
Would your husband like a tray? No, I don't think so.
Here he comes.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Your egg is cold now.
- I was listening to a radio program.
Then it's a good thing you carted it all the way here.
Young people have taken backpacking up again.
- Is that rose hip jam? - Yes, Mrs.
Andersen's famous one.
It's a sign that people have put the war behind them.
- In what way a sign? - Surely it's obvious.
- Not to me.
What do you say? - Not to me either.
- Weyse? - Pardon? Aurland says it's a sign that people have put the war behind them.
In what way, I asked.
People no longer associate backpacks with soldiers.
- At least young people don't.
- Thank God for that.
Should we be thankful for forgetting the horror of war? - I certainly won't forget it.
- We realize that.
- What do you mean? - You're a prophet of doom.
Your constant talk of a bank crisis.
I'm sorry if I don't turn a blind eye to reality.
So you think we turn a blind eye to reality, but you don't.
Then surely you know that your wife runs around naked on the beach.
- Hello.
How are you? - Alright Does that mean fine? I have to I'm working this evening.
Then tomorrow? I promised to show you Dead Man's Mountain.
- Maybe.
- Not maybe.
Definitely.
- Why not tell him you're leaving? - I haven't told Mrs.
Andersen.
I told you not to tell anyone.
You told Otilia.
- Is it true that you're leaving? - I only told the two of them.
- He'll be sad if you leave.
- A new girl will come.
- He's not like that.
- Not at all.
His brother used to hang about here, but Morten never did.
You're special.
- Count Ditmar is here.
- Oh.
- He didn't bring his parents.
- Hooray.
- Dad wants you to say hello.
- Why should I? Amanda, aren't you coming? - I hope you're staying for a while.
- I hope to.
I have a business idea.
- I won't bore you with it.
- Tell me.
I'm fascinated by the possibilities that the seaside presents.
Holiday homes.
It's a new trend.
There are many in Hornbæk - - but is there a more lovely place than this? - But all the way from Copenhagen? - You come here yourself.
I'm sure it will be all the rage.
I have to strike while the iron is hot.
Are you interested? I'll only say hello.
- Did you fix it, Mr.
Andersen? - Not quite.
I have to get hold of the electrician.
This is such poor workmanship.
- That wire looks dangerous.
- This one? Not at all.
What I'll do is push it back here - - and it will be fine.
There we go.
Good.
Here comes Amanda.
Amanda, look who's here.
- Miss Madsen.
- Hello.
Have a seat, Amanda.
We have lemonade and sponge cake.
We talked about taking a walk.
Would anyone like to come? Amanda, how about you? I'm afraid I can't.
My father forgot that he grounded me.
They're done.
Mr.
Madsen and the count went for a walk.
They've suddenly become fast friends.
- Mrs.
Andersen? - Yes, Fie.
I haven't told you, but my father is ill.
I'm sorry.
I'm afraid something will happen to him.
- It is very serious? - It's his lungs.
All the flour dust makes it hard for him to work at the mill.
Julius said you'd called home.
How was he this morning? - Alright, but - Mrs.
Fjeldsø is asking about the pie.
I'm making it.
Martha is picking gooseberries.
That electrician can come and repair his botched job.
- The switch? - Yes.
I'm not paying him twice, and I'll tell him so tomorrow.
- Have you called him? - Yes.
I won't mess with the wiring.
Then you shouldn't have sent him away.
Is it wrong of me to want to save some money? Otherwise you can take over and run the whole place.
And I can relax.
Good, Martha.
Fie, you can take your break now.
- What about Mrs.
Fjeldsø's pie? - We'll see to it.
The Magic Mountain This is intolerable.
Well! Oh, is that you, Aurland? Ma'am.
Wait for me, Otto.
Sorry.
They're very impetuous.
Someone is having fun on the beach.
You're welcome to join them.
Perhaps I could convince you to keep some of your clothes on.
Is that why you're so quiet? I only swim when I'm alone.
Then I don't know how Frigh knew about it.
I mentioned it to the wrong person.
It wouldn't have come up - - if you hadn't provoked Frigh.
Relax and rest.
Repress things like everyone else.
We can't keep harping about the war.
It's been ten years.
It should be possible to believe in the good in the world.
- And enjoy the life we're given.
- You can do it.
I can't.
I wish you could.
He who forgets history is doomed to repeat it.
- Pie and coffee.
- You brought it yourself.
- The girls are on a deserved break.
- And yourself? - I'll manage.
- Thank you, Mrs.
Andersen.
We'd better get started.
- We don't want a repeat of yesterday.
- No.
There are odd and even hands.
An even hand is when you have roughly the same number of each suit.
If you have 12 to 14 high-card points, you start with spades.
If I only have six, I have to confirm - - to see if there's a game.
Are you with me so far? - I think so.
- I don't think so.
Let's have some pie.
It might help your concentration.
- Shouldn't we wait for your son? - Only plants and birds interest him.
I wish he would find a nice girl like you.
But how could he when he's always running around in nature? Someday he will.
I'm sure of it.
Yes.
Some custard? - Have you told Mrs.
Andersen? - I keep getting interrupted.
- She hasn't told her yet.
- Don't tell her.
- I have to.
- No.
- We don't want you to go.
- We don't want to train another girl.
- That's not the only reason.
- No, but it's an important one.
- God knows who will replace her! - She won't be as nice as you.
There's a reason why you're here.
To earn money - - for your father's treatment.
You might not get a position at home.
- Morten thinks it's wrong too.
- Edith! You've told everyone.
- Because I don't want you to go.
- It was just a dream you had.
- Dreams don't mean anything.
- Mine do.
It's happened before.
What happens in my dreams happens in real life.
- Give us an example.
- People die or have accidents.
I don't want to talk about it.
- Mrs.
Aurland.
- Hello.
May I ask you something, Mr.
Weyse? - Do you find nudity unnatural? - Pardon? - Does it frighten you? - I don't think so.
This morning I thought I was confiding in the famous actor Edward Weyse.
The defender of liberal-mindedness.
I didn't realize that I confided in an insecure, gossipy child.
I'm sorry I was wrong about you.
- Adam.
- Did you have a nice day? Yes, thanks.
It was fine.
- See anything exciting? - Yes - Like what? - Lots of different things.
That's of no help to Mrs.
Weyse.
Tell her about the plants you saw.
- Bell heather, common cotton grass.
- They have funny names.
Yes.
And I saw pillwort and small club moss.
And sea holly.
- Pardon? - Sea holly.
- Why is it called that? - It grows close to the sea.
It's said that Pliny the Elder, a Roman naturalist, said: "If men get possession of the root - - they'll be obliging to women.
" - So you use it.
- Me? No.
But you're always obliging.
What's that big bird? It's - Can it be? - What bird? A red kite! It's back! - Is it rare? - It's been gone.
- It was said to be extinct.
- May I look, Mr.
Fjeldsø? It's back, Mother! The red kite is back.
It's very beautiful with the red and white colors.
It fell out of the sky.
Someone shot it! I thought we'd gotten rid of those pests.
- There aren't many birds of prey left.
- We shoot them since they eat game.
Here we are.
This is the land I had in mind.
- Who owns it? - One who doesn't know its value.
Imagine the area full of holiday homes.
- I'm beginning to see your angle.
- Aren't you just? The count is out walking.
No, hang on.
Here he comes.
- Telephone, Count Ditmar.
- Who is it? - The gentleman didn't say.
- Excuse me.
- Your wife is in the parlor.
- Excellent.
We'll have an aperitif.
Hello? - Did you have a nice walk? - Marvelous.
I told you not to call me here.
You'll get your money, but I need another week.
There's no call to be rude.
I told you - - that I'm in the middle of a deal.
Now listen.
I can pay you a small sum.
No, don't come here! I'll come to you.
Tonight at 9:30.
I'll be there.
Don't worry.
Come and have a drink.
So Any problems? The telephone.
No, not at tall.
Just some friends, who reminded me about a meeting at Grenen Hotel.
- Can I come? - No, Amanda.
We said no.
Perhaps we were too hasty, Therese.
If the count takes Amanda - Count Ditmar has a meeting.
- And can go to a party afterwards.
Of course it's up to you, whether you want to put up with Amanda.
- Your daughter is welcome to come.
- Take my motorcar.
- I don't want to inconvenience you.
- Not at all.
Just bring her home.
I certainly will.
I hope we can continue our discussion tomorrow.
- When are we leaving? - After dinner.
I'll be ready at 8.
Did you promise Miss Madsen that she can bathe now? - Did you, Julius? - Yes.
The girl is going to a party with Count Ditmar in the Skaw.
- Obviously she wants a bath.
- Then she'll have to strip-wash.
We're cleaning up after dinner and making coffee.
The girls have been at it all day.
They can't lug water around now.
Why don't you go and lie down? I miss my son.
And his mother.
I know I haven't been very good to you.
I'm well aware of that, Molly.
I miss them.
Let's not talk about it now.
Go and lie down, Julius.
We'll see to everything.
Heat more water.
Miss Madsen wants a bath.
- Now? - Yes.
I'll carry the water up.
- You shouldn't.
- Do as I say.
Mrs.
Aurland is waiting to talk about her diet.
I completely forgot.
Martha, heat some water.
- Mr.
Andersen watches you bathe.
- Enough of your nonsense.
- Why won't you believe me? - You have a sick imagination.
- So you haven't left yet.
- No.
But you'll be gone before we meet tomorrow.
- Then we can meet tonight.
- I have to work.
I won't let you leave.
What time do you get off? - When all the guests go to bed.
- I'll wait for you.
Where's my bath water? - I have to make coffee first.
- Mrs.
Andersen said she'd bring it.
- It will be another half hour.
- According to you? Are you in charge now? I can't wait half an hour.
- How about you? - He doesn't work here.
Can you carry it up? I'll pay you a krone.
That won't get you much water.
It costs ten kroner.
You can get room and board at the hotel for that price.
That sounds nice.
All right.
Ten kroner, but make it snappy.
- Where is the money? - Under the towel.
- It isn't there.
- No? Then where did I put it? Did it fall on the floor? You'd better take a look.
- It isn't there.
Where is it? - We can play Hot or Cold.
You're very cold.
Yes, you're getting warmer.
No, I suppose not.
Oh dear.
It's difficult, isn't it? Are you mad? I almost drowned! You have no idea.
Where is it? By the sink.
- We'll do our best, Mrs.
Aurland.
- Thank you.
- Morten brought the water up.
- Did he? Wonderful.
Thanks, Fie.
- Who is your German doctor? - He's Swiss.
Doctor Bircher-Benner.
I visited his clinic in Zürich.
Is that why you eat raw food? It's part of the scheme.
A healthy lifestyle, sunbathing, gymnastics And swimming in the sea.
- We're talking about her diet.
- I'd like to hear more about it.
May I ask you something? What's it like to swim in the nude? It's wonderful.
You feel weightless and at one with the water.
- Really? - You should try it.
- I'd like to.
- My husband mustn't find out.
- Is it up to him? - No.
Maybe I should just try it.
You can come with me tomorrow.
Thank you.
- Are we going to play? - Coming, Mrs.
Fjeldsø.
Thank you.
Your move, Fjeldsø.
I'm sorry, but I can't get my mind off the merciless killing - - I witnessed this afternoon.
Will those hunters never stop? Isn't it enough that they've exterminated the golden eagle - - the horned owl, the white-tailed eagle and the osprey? I found the winged bird.
It was a horrible sight.
I have it in my room.
I can get it, if you're interested.
That won't be necessary.
It's still your move, Fjeldsø.
If I met the person who committed this atrocity I don't think I could restrain myself.
- Has your daughter not come down? - She's taking a bath.
Don't make me laugh.
I bruised a rib - - while chasing the children this afternoon.
All right, Mr.
Weyse? You're very quiet.
Oh well.
- I thought you had left.
- I'm waiting for your daughter.
- Miss Madsen? - Yes, Did you have your bath? Yes, thanks, Mr.
Andersen collapsed! He touched the faulty switch.
- Where is he? - Upstairs.
Outside the bathroom.
- Where's the nearest hospital? - In the Skaw.
- Mr.
Weyse, may I have a word? - Yes.
- I'll be inside.
- I'll be right there.
I was to borrow Madsen's motorcar.
Could I borrow yours? By all means, but it's running on empty.
Bad luck, old boy.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
- What a nasty fright.
- Yes.
It reminds one of how fragile life is.
Mrs.
Aurland, I owe you an apology.
You're right.
I am a child.
That's where my art originates.
From spontaneity.
I had no right to divulge your secret to others.
I'm very sorry.
It won't happen again.
That said, I'd like you to know that nudity doesn't frighten me.
On the contrary.
Nudity between two people is the most beautiful Tell it to your wife.
Goodnight! - Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
- Mr, Weyse! - Sorry.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
Why did he have to keel over when I was going to a party? Couldn't he have stuck the wire in behind the door casing? - Put that awful book away! - Why? Vera.
You didn't have anything to do with that wire, did you? - What if I did? - Vera, you didn't! You didn't believe that he looked through the keyhole.
You must be crazy! Do you realize what you've done? You know what? We won't tell a soul about this.
- I didn't plan on telling anyone.
- Terrific.
My sister the murderess.
Come on! He isn't dead.
Poor Andersen.
You should've seen him.
He was the one I dreamt of.
He was the one who collapsed.
Fie didn't dream about her father, but about Mr.
Andersen.
It was Mr.
Andersen that Fie dreamt was hurt.
Of course.
How strange! - Now you don't have to leave.
- Of course not.
I suppose not.
- What's in the pitcher? - Heeltaps.
The guests went to bed and left their drinks.
- To Mr.
Andersen.
- And Mrs.
Andersen.
- What's in it? - I'm not sure.
Mrs.
Fjeldsø's liqueur, Mr.
Madsen's cognac, Count Ditmar's absinthe - - some port and Mr.
Weyse's whisky.
And Mrs.
Aurland's celery juice.
Cheers.
- What's up? - Nothing.
- I just forgot something.
- I know where she's going.
