Maniac (2014) s01e03 Episode Script

1 -I would help you if I could, but -I'm family.
Yes, I know.
And you know I care about my family.
He's only doing this to have power over me.
I can' just sit quietly and watch him ruin the company.
I know, but we had to appoint him to buy us some time.
Espen Anker-Hansen! How about that! You're the son of George! And the sole heir to the entire company.
-Hi, Mina.
- Hi.
Are you all right? -Got time for a little chat? -I'm on my way out.
I'm not sure about that one, if this is the right ward for him.
Of course it is.
-I've got a really bad feeling.
-Feeling sick? No, no.
Someone is out to stab me in the back.
I think somebody is unhappy about me being here at this hotel.
I'm going to see his father now.
Maybe nothing will come of it, but I think it's too soon to Keep in mind that Espen has been here much longer than you.
We've had plenty of time to give up on him.
I don't think we should be discussing that right here.
Power makes you paranoid.
-I need to know who I can trust.
-Everyone seems so nice.
I know, right? I just have to snap my fingers and -You snapped, Espen September.
-Storm! -My wish is your command? -Of course.
Anything for the CEO.
You don't mind that I'm back running the company? Oh no.
We think that's great.
-Did you see that? -What? -That look.
-What about it? It means he's not being honest.
Look at this.
-Storm! -Yes? You're not gonna stab me in the back, are you? What on earth? I would never dream of it.
Stab me in the back.
I can't trust anyone.
Everyone's staring at me.
Stare back.
Use the look.
Is there really nobody I can trust? Here's one! Blom! Good, old Blom.
Good to see you.
Good to see you, buddy.
Not gonna watch any more? I don't think every one here can be trusted.
Relax, of course you can trust everyone here.
Everyone? Even her? Absolutely.
-Yes, the plan is ready.
-Let's listen in on that.
-I can't hear anything.
-Because of the patch, you fool! Trust me, I'll deal with him.
I'll stab him in the back.
Did you hear that? She'll stab you in the back! So Eva Rosenkrantz is taking over the company Check the other system too, please.
-Yes? -I just have a quick message.
There's a phone call for you in the back room.
-Phone call for me in the back room? -Bring this.
-Bring that? What for? -Just bring it.
Off you go! Come on! Espen September! -Don't stab me in the back! -Stab you in the back? We overheard you.
You said you'd stab him in the back.
I was talking about someone else.
There's always someone to stab.
-Hi.
-You alright? So How was your meeting with Espen's father? He was pretty dazed and confused.
But He was worried about his son.
And Espen? Has he been behaving? Nice and quiet.
Watching reruns of "Hotel Cæsar".
We're not safe.
What would you do if someone just showed up- -and took your family inheritance? You would not like it.
You'd think he was an intruder and you'd stab him in the back.
Espen, my dear brother.
Good to see you! Hi.
-Have you met HÃ¥kon? -How do you do? Pleased to meet you.
How do you feel about your brother being back? Is that okay with you? Well, that's -That's nice.
-Great! Why don't you join us? Well, why not.
Good! How nice.
-Have a seat.
-Right Would you like a glass of wine? What is it? Juni is an alcoholic! I don't drink.
I can't drink.
-Surely you can have one glass.
-HÃ¥kon, Juni can't handle alcohol.
No, one sip is all it takes before it's all downhill for me.
Excause me.
This is our chance to find out if she's plotting something.
How? Drunk people always tell the truth.
That's true.
-I'm sorry.
-It's okay.
Have a glass of this wine.
It contains 0 % alcohol.
-Really? 0 %? -See for yourself.
-Well, then I'd love a glass.
-Splendid! -A fine wine.
-Cheers, then.
Cheers! Oh my god.
This wine is simply marvellous! Particularly since it's non-alcoholic.
I'll say So anyway That's some good stuff! Oh yeah.
You, my brother Such a good boy.
My cuddly brother.
Juni, my kind sister.
Mina? This is probably a weird question.
What's the deal with you and Espen? What do you mean? Well, our job is to help people.
It's what we do.
But then It seems like there's something personal going on between you.
No.
Well, actually Okay, he reminds me of my brother.
-So your brother is? -Was.
He died when I was 15.
-Shit.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to -Don't worry about it.
-I'm sorry.
-It's fine.
I'll pop over and talk to Espen now.
Maybe it's good for him to hear that his father is missing him.
-Sure.
Sorry -It's fine! Don't worry about it.
Maybe I'm just paranoid.
All this power is affecting me.
Isn't it? Hi, Espen.
Espen September Anker-Hansen? I'm delighted.
Please have a seat.
-How are you doing? -Great.
I saw you were watching "Hotel Cæsar" earlier.
I've never watched it.
I know I'll get hooked easily.
Espen, I've just visited your father.
Maybe you and I can go somewhere to talk? -Do you want to talk about the hotel? -No.
I want to talk something a little more private.
Maybe we can go somewhere else? Wanna come to my room? Sure.
Okay.
But we just met.
No, we've met before.
We have? Come here! -Sit down.
What are you doing? -Talking to the girl.
You're about to fall for her tricks.
Tricks? She's a nice, pretty lady- -who wants to come to my room.
-What?! You've lost half of your hotel and now you trust that woman? -This is wonky business! -Wonky? -It's called monkey business.
-Monkey? Monkeys don't do business! How would that work? -Anyway, you're not going with her.
-Don't you have a job to do? Job? You're the CEO.
I don't have to work then.
Carry those bags up to 1215.
-I'm not -Come on! -You're serious? -Yes.
Come on.
What's happened to you? You changed after you became the CEO.
Take the stairs.
Come with me.
-Would you like a guided tour? - A tour? I'll show you my hotel.
Really? This is the luxury wing.
This is one of my trusted employees.
No, no! Thank you for your efforts.
Espen, let's go to your room.
You're straight to the point.
You don't have to ask me twice.
Top floor.
Thanks.
There.
Now it's just the two of us.
You're beautiful.
No, Espen.
No.
I came to talk to you about your father.
My father? George? Do you know my father? But he's dead! No.
He's not dead, but he's quite ill.
He was asking for you.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could visit him? Talk to him a little.
Maybe that's good for both of you.
Here you are.
Is everything under control? -That voice -Ah! It's him! The mysterious man with the husky voice! Espen! Let go! Calm down.
Espen! I know who you really are.
Let Lindberg go.
Pastor Arne Markussen, who is plotting to take over your company.
He's the one who's going to stab you in the back.
Just you wait! It's all right.
There.
Get out, you fraud! So he was a bit brash now, but we've made good progress.
Progress? He was about to rip my face off! -Listen to what I'm saying.
-My point is: He doesn't belong here.
He should be transferred.
I want a full reevaluation.
-We can't just give up on him! -What? Please, give me a little more time.
I want to do this.
-We've already discussed this.
-If we just follow the plan Forget it.
Everything okay? Good night.
Hey.
-Bye.
-Listen, Mina The bumps in the road are part of the job, you know.
At least we're connecting.
Now and then.
Was it like that with your brother too? Yeah He was quite a bit older than me.
All I knew was a kind and caring big brother.
Mum and dad They stopped talking about him.
Like they just gave up on him.
I see.
Then he jumped.
-We're not giving up on Espen.
-No.
No, we're not.
-Okay.
See you tomorrow.
-See you.
Bloody hell -That was close! -I'm so tired.
Oh well.
Now you know who you can trust.
-I need to sleep.
-No, no! I've got a surprise for you! Guys! -Hello! -Let's get this party started! -Let the good times roll! -Cheers! You really know how to party, Juni.
What's incredible about this wine It's actually 0 % -No, it's not.
It's 10 %! -I'll be damned.
Whatever! Cheers!
