The Legacy (2014) s01e04 Episode Script

Afsnit 4

Previously - I have something for you.
- Your house is not for me.
It is yours.
You were born here.
The letter from Veronika? I showed it
to Ole's lawyer, and he says it is valid.
That'll make her a millionaire.
A multimillionaire more like and you
will be able to do whatever you want.
Veronika has been talking
about this museum since I was a child.
It's always been her dream. She has
given the house to a trust which owns it.
Sausage.
It appears that Veronika has transferred
all her estate to a trust.
That's to say,
technically she has disinherited us.
- I don't believe it.
- Are you short of money?
No, I am not. But you know what it's like,
starting something new. It isn't easy.
I have obtained a copy of the letter
from Signe. I have discovered something.
- What?
- It is probably valid as a deathbed will.
- Veronika mentions the trust in the letter.
- And what of it?
If it is valid as a deathbed will,
the trust is mentioned
in a will and is therefore it is valid.
We need to decide
what to do about Signe.
Veronika wanted to turn
the house into a museum.
My entire legacy is going towards it
and so is Frederik's and Emil's.
- It's a fantastic project.
- I want to be part of it.
I have drawn up
a deed of transfer for you
saying you want to give
the house to the trust.
I'll sign it, don't worry. But I had
better show it to my boyfriend first.
There you are, Sunshine.
- Hey, is that John?
- Yes.
John could not give up that dream of
his about Veronika and a family.
Lise came here one day.
John was here with you.
She insisted that he choose
between her and Veronika.
Anyway, they adopted you
and we haven't seen you since.
- So it wasn't about me at all.
- No, it is seldom about the children.
Why didn't you say so?
Why didn't you tell me that I had
my second birthday party at Veronika's?
How often did I go there? Did I call
her mum? Did I? Did I call her mum?
I have wished and wished
that I could rewrite your past.
A fat lot of good that's done.
Why do you go on trying, damn it?
Bloody hell,
it has taken a long time.
35 years.
Yes, and we could have done it
ages ago.
It was almost worth the wait,
wasn't it?
Yes, indeed it was.
Shall we have a cup of coffee?
- Yes. And you'll get it? Oh, how lovely.
- I will indeed, I am so, so kind.
Get a move on! Get a move on!
I've got to put something
on my feet first. It's bloody cold.
Don't go, don't go, hurry back.
- So this is what's got to be moved.
- Yes.
It's really cute.
How long has he been living there?
- 35 years.
- OK.
- Do you think I can take a look inside?
- Yes, yes, of course.
- Dad?
- Hi Sausage, come on in.
- Hi.
- I've made coffee. Want a cup?
- Hi, Gro.
- Hi, Lone. Dad, for fuck's sake!
What?
I know you aren't too happy about it,
but I have an architect outside
who needs a look at your caravan.
For goodness' sake!
Actually, this is not a good time.
But it is all right by me. OK.
Yes, this is Michael Cadogan,
the guy who designed the museum
along with Julien de Smedt.
- Hello.
- What do you want?
- He just wants a look at your caravan.
- Why?
Because there's going to be a museum
and your caravan will have to be moved.
My caravan isn't going
to be moved. Not at all.
- I see. - Don't be silly, daddy.
- What are you talking about?
It's completely all right by me.
Maybe we should just talk later.
See you.
Dad, he is amazingly talented.
Just have a look at this, right?
No, I can't be bothered
to look at all that paper.
The caravan will be resited
up against the hedge.
- Up against the motorway.
- It's over a kilometre from the motorway.
It can't just remain
in the middle of everything.
- My caravan is not going to be moved.
- Yes, it is.
Signe is coming up later
with the papers and we'll get started.
Who the hell do you think you are?
I built this place with your mother
and she hasn't been gone a second
before you begin to change things.
This has been
in the pipeline for years.
As soon as Italy was all fixed,
this caravan was going to be moved.
What Italy is that?
She was going to leave,
she had found a house in Italy.
She was busy transferring
everything here to a trust.
That was just loose talk.
- If she'd been for real she'd have told me.
- Lone.
All you do is stand there. Say something. He
doesn't believe what I am trying to tell him.
That was the plan.
- Are you involved in this as well?
- No, it was Veronika
and she wanted to move
to the Mediterranean.
Listen, pack your stuff
and fuck off out of here.
Thomas, you've just made coffee.
Get out of my way!
Take your shit with you
- Thomas.
- and fuck off out of here! Goodbye!
Dad, I am not doing this to bother you.
THE LEGACY
It is not every day you meet someone
who's willing to give away 10 million.
Nope.
And you'll be on the board too,
who'd have thought it.
Not me, that's for sure.
What can you tell me
about the contract side of it?
According to this document,
you are going to transfer the house
- and they'll use it for a museum.
- Yes.
And purely financially
there is nothing wrong with it.
I mean, you won't be liable
for anything.
Yes, it is an honest,
sterling piece of lawyer's work.
- There is no more to be said about it.
- You see they are not trying to trick me.
Great, Ole.
Thanks for your help.
Just a moment.
Can I ask you both to sit down
in the back office for a moment?
- I'll be back in a jiffy.
- Alright. - That's good.
I want to tell you something.
As we know things
have been pretty dramatic of late
and that can easily affect
one's judgement.
I would strongly advise you
to give yourself time to think things
over before you sign anything whatsoever.
Sure, but I am dead certain about this.
I really want to do
this thing with my siblings.
What do you want with a museum?
You have no idea about art.
No, but it is my mother's museum and
I am going to start it with my siblings.
It sounds a bit like
you're trying to buy them.
What kind of thing is that to say?
Of course I am not trying to buy them.
But why can't you see your siblings
without giving them a house?
You are the one who was given it.
Yes, but I wasn't given it to sell it
and rake in a load of money, was I?
- It is their childhood home.
- My secretary attended the funeral
- and she says that the son, Frederik
- Yes.
is livid about the museum thing.
There is a devil of a fuss going on
about the whole business.
Listen, Ole,
I went to that funeral myself.
You have no better family
than John and Lise.
I have known them for years.
They have done everything for you.
Thanks for your help.
I hope you'll be able to knock
some sense into her, Andreas.
Well, I'll try.
Thanks so much for all your help.
Why do you say stuff like
what you said in there?
Didn't you even hear what he was telling
you? Frederik doesn't want that museum.
Andreas, you are the one who's always
saying we shouldn't listen to gossip.
- It's a chance in a lifetime.
- I want to be able to face my siblings.
But it's 10 million kroner. It sounds like
you're giving them a bar of chocolate.
Why can't you think of anything
but fucking money?
- Can't you be just a teeny bit rational,
for fuck's sake! - Rational?
Yes, and drop all these feelings
and principles for just one moment.
- And I can always go on the game.
- What?
Yes, I'd earn shedloads of money
and we'll be rolling in money.
Fuck feelings and principles, right?
Right.
Yes.
On the game. For fuck's sake!
Hi, boys.
- Will you bring the bags?
- Yes, don't worry.
Oh, no.
It's Signe.
- Just pretend you haven't seen her.
- Can't just walk past without saying hello.
Do like we agreed, all right?
See you.
Well then, how did the meeting go?
She is going down there
to give them the house.
But damn it, didn't Ole explain that
Frederik is not going to agree to it?
- Yes, of course he did.
- But Andreas, damn it
It's her letter. What the hell
do you expect me to do?
You mustn't let her do it, damn it.
I mean, she is not thinking clearly.
She might have viewed things differently
if you two hadn't lied to her all her life.
I don't know what to do.
- Hi, girls. - Hi.
- Enjoy! It looks delicious.
I don't spend all my time
sewing teddy bears for fun.
I do it because
we are in this together as a family.
If I'm not allowed to say hi to my
daughter, I've nothing further to do here.
Are we just going to practice shooting,
or are we going to do strength training?
- Chuck the ball about a bit,
I'll be with you in a jiffy. - Right.
Chuck the ball about a bit, lads.
- You really must keep it down a bit.
- No, I will not. I can't stand it.
- You are making matters far worse.
- Everything is just fine.
It'll blow over.
Yes, of course it will blow over.
She's our daughter.
- She isn't, though.
- What isn't she? - Our daughter.
She's your daughter,
yours and Veronika's daughter.
Don't you remember the time
you went all the way to Lemvig
where she was at boarding school because
she phoned home to say she was missing you?
Think of all the costumes you've sewn her,
princess costumes, lion costumes.
I am going home now. You will
just have to sort it out yourselves.
- How far have you got?
- They've picked up the first crates.
- Listen, Rene.
- Yes?
I simply don't have time to leave before
Thursday. Can you go on ahead?
Yes, but I have booked
a ticket for tomorrow.
- Hi, Signe.
- Hi. - Hi.
- How are things?
- Great.
This is Michael Cadogan. He helped
design the museum. This is my sister.
- Hi.
- Hi. That's behind the museum.
- No.
- Behind the main house. - No.
No, that's the main house.
- Anyhow, I've brought the contract.
- Great.
Gro, I hear that Frederik is against
the museum idea. Is he?
- He just needs to get used to the idea.
- I see. What does that mean exactly?
Right now, Frederik is really
affected by a load of old stuff
because of Veronika's death.
But the museum doesn't change any of that.
I know Frederik, he'll come round.
But is he angry about giving it
to the museum?
- I haven't told him yet.
- He doesn't even know?
- No.
- But
he does know about the letter
I got from Veronika, right?
- No, I want to have everything in place
first. - And how about Emil?
Oh, Emil He is just short of money.
We'll get that sorted.
Signe, don't you worry. I'll fix it.
I mean, I am good at that
and anyhow it is what I do in my job,
bringing people together even though
they don't see eye to eye.
Everyone will be pleased,
I promise. Frederik too.
- But I can't do it without your help.
- I really will have to talk to them first.
I wish there was time for that,
but the investors are here right now.
We are looking at donations
worth over 20 million krone
and they'll be out of the window
unless everything is in place
by the first of the month.
There isn't time, I am afraid.
I'll let you know as soon as
I have talked to them.
- Are you coming?
- Yes. - There you are.
Remember to take a shower
before you go in, Villads.
- But I am only going in the big one.
- But if you want to use the big one
- you'll still need a shower first.
- But I don't want one.
- But those are the rules, darling.
- I don't want one either.
Thanks a bunch, Emil.
That was a bloody great thing to say.
- What's that?
- What?
You've brought your mobile
into the pool?
- Yes.
- You are completely crazy, man.
- Keep your nose out of it.
- It's a mobile-free zone.
Right, so that's also
Hey, careful, it's slippery.
- Aren't you coming in, darling?
- Yes, in a moment.
- Aren't you coming in, darling?
- Yes, darling, aren't you coming in?
Eh, darling?
- Come on in, Frederik chill, will you?
- Hey, hey, hey.
- Come on, come on.
- Frederik speaking. Careful.
I can't hear
what you are saying, Signe.
- Tidal wave!
- Yes.
- Nice, darling.
- Respect, Villads.
- Oh, sorry, sorry.
- It's OK.
Aren't you going to settle down soon?
No.
I don't think I'm the kind of guy
women want to start a family with.
What? You will be the nicest daddy.
Whoever lands you will be very lucky.
I'm going to have to go.
What on earth?
Dad, don't you want to watch me
jump off the three metre?
Sure, but it'll have to be now,
so get a move on.
- Why do you have to go?
- Because that was Signe on the phone.
She wants to show me a letter
she got from mummy, apparently.
But can't you want to watch your son jump
off the three metre? Can't you do that?
Yes, sure, of course I can.
Just go on up, darling.
You can do it.
Go on, darling.
Go for it, kiddo.
You can do it, Villads.
Know what, darling?
You don't have to,
you can do it another day.
We'll learn how to do it another day.
See you later.
Come on, kiddo.
Just walk out all calm and collected.
Now look straight ahead of you.
Wow!
This is where I slave away all day.
- Golly, it's dead big.
- Yes. Would you like a cup of coffee?
No, thanks.
I have to get back to shut up shop.
Well then, Signe
Yes.
What have you got to show me?
Well, see
Thing is I got this letter
from Veronika.
I see.
What kind of letter would that be?
It's a letter saying
I am meant to get the house.
It is what they call a deathbed will
and Veronika wrote it just before she died
and in it she leaves the house to me.
I am really sorry about this.
I thought Gro had told you both.
- No. Did you bring the letter?
- Yes, of course.
And I don't want to take
the house away from you.
Gro has prepared a contract
for me to give it to the trust.
I thought you knew all about it.
- Gro has prepared a contract?
- Yes, in which I transfer the house.
But then I heard that
you were against the museum idea
and it turns out that apparently
she hasn't mentioned it to you and Emil.
- Have you brought that contract too?
- Yes, here it is.
- Do you mind if I quickly xerox them both?
- Go ahead.
May I ask you not to sign anything until
I have had a chance to look it over?
Sure
yes, of course.
Thank you.
Hey, Andreas, will you call me
when you get this message
and if not I'll just see you at the game,
all right? OK, bye-bye.
Emil.
- I'll be with you in a jiffy.
- Just ask her in.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Malee says hi.
Who are you?
Malee has been trying to call you,
but your mobile is broken.
How did you know I was here?
This is a present from Malee,
so you'll be able to call him.
- I don't want a mobile.
- Just call Malee.
- I have told him he'll get his money.
- Tell you what, you just call him.
Stop it. Stop it, Villads.
I am not in the mood.
- Hey Emil, have a look at this.
- Not now, Hannah.
- Did she not want to come in?
- No, she didn't.
Emil?
Frederik.
Frederik, I need a word.
I am simply going to have to ask
for an advance on my legacy.
Put a sock in it. There is no legacy
to give you an advance from. Read this.
- Mum left the house to Sunshine?
- Yes.
- This can't be true, this can't be legit.
- It can, too.
- Why didn't she say anything?
- She did.
She told Gro and Gro has talked her
into giving the house to the trust.
The trust?
The trust isn't legit! That stuff
you said about mum not renouncing.
Yes, and as long as
she hadn't renounced,
the trust wasn't valid because
it was not mentioned in a will.
But if this letter is declared valid
as a deathbed will,
the trust will be legit after all.
It is completely
What does it all mean?
It means Gro gets her museum and we get
nothing, if Signe signs this thing.
- What are we going to do?
- The worst case scenario is that
we take them to court
and get it declared null and void.
I need some money right now.
Do you hear me?
Of course I hear you,
but there isn't anything I can do about it.
In that case we'll have to sort it out
some other way.
- We can offer her some dough.
- No!
No, it would be completely
unreasonable to settle with her.
- She is not entitled to a penny.
- Apparently that is just what she is, though,
and if we lose in court,
you'll never get the house.
Isn't that what you always dreamed of?
Why should we begin to gamble with it
now just because of some stupid money?
You were the one
who just asked for an advance.
You will get your house and we will avoid
the aggro and court cases and hostility.
- And you'll get your money.
- Bingo! Everyone is happy apart from Gro
and she was bloody asking for it.
OK, I'll draw up a draft for Signe.
- You must have a chat with her.
- A chat with her.
Does Sunshine have the slightest idea
what that house means
to you what with dad and all that?
- You want me to sell myself to her?
- No, that is not what I want, Frederik.
But I do want you to tell her
what the house means to you.
I am not going to make a fool of myself
in front of a complete stranger.
She is your sister.
See, Mie has won a foreign holiday,
a package tour to Turkey for two.
- That's amazing! - Just picture yourself
some place with one of those drinks
with a cocktail umbrella
on this sparking white beach.
I had no idea.
They were back together.
- Sorry, we're closed.
- Right. - No, no er, hi.
Hi.
This is Frederik, my brother.
I'll go down and get the van ready
and you can shut up shop here, OK?
- What? - Hi.
- Is it a bad moment? - No, not at all.
- We were just closing.
- Oh, right.
If you go round behind the counter,
I'll be back in a mo. Just have to lock up.
I just wanted to thank you for coming to
tell me about this business earlier today.
- Well, of course I did. - Anyway,
I have had a chance to go through the papers.
Right.
I have brought a copy of Veronika's
original will and testament.
As you see,
it was always the idea that I would
move into the house after she died.
Yes, it says you have
first refusal on the house.
That means I would have to buy my
siblings out, which is only fair and proper.
But what about the trust?
The museum is Gro's idea.
Did you hide the cash box?
Just doing it, Katja.
I know it may be a bit tricky,
the legalese, but when
Do you mind turning your back to me,
so I can hide this thing?
- Sorry. - Right.
- So you don't see. - Of course.
It's a bit silly really.
My father
was left the house by my grandfather,
who inherited it from my great grandfather,
- whom I was named after.
- Yes. Frederik, right. Sorry.
And it was my father's wish
that I move into the house when
- The last thing he said before he
- Have you swept up? - Almost, Katja.
Want to sit down?
When he died
Emil and I were packed off
to an aunt's.
Emil wasn't very old,
he was eight at the time.
I had promised my father
I would look after him.
It's just that the house is the last thing
I've got left from my father.
I so understand you.
And I'm really not out to take
anything from anyone, Frederik.
- Veronika just gave me the letter and
- Yes.
Of course we have to respect that.
It is a very valuable house
and so of course
I'll offer you compensation
if you agree to waive your right.
- What right is that?
- To the house.
Oh, yeah, of course.
I'll pay you 2.5 million.
- Mind if I just squeeze by?
- No, Katja. Sorry, Frederik.
It's the same as I'll be offering Gro
and I'll also be offering Emil,
and so that way you could say
we'll be sharing the house all three of us.
Or four.
And what about the museum?
Gro is welcome to dispose
of the works as she thinks fit,
so she can have a museum
wherever she likes.
The game has actually started.
Yeah, yeah.
Look, I'll really have to have
a good think about all this.
Yes, of course.
- But let's talk again really soon.
- Yes.
- And we have to pop by Majorstuen too.
- Yes, I know. Sorry, Frederik.
- It's because Andreas is playing and
they've already started. - All right.
Thank you.
So he offered you 2.5 million
for your letter?
I can't take it.
What about Gro and the museum?
I promised it to her
and she is in full swing.
Yes, but she happens to be the one
who hadn't told you
- that the mother had
anything against it. - Yes.
No matter what I do I am going
to make somebody angry or upset.
- You'll live.
- I really don't know.
But upsetting Andreas
is not going to help either.
I just wish I had never
been given that letter.
Come along tomorrow to that book launch.
I am sure it'll be fun.
And we'll be able to chat
to Michael about your house.
He'll be there too.
- We may be able to find another spot
for it than the hedge. - The motorway hedge.
The motorway is more than
a kilometre away, but if you say so.
I am not going to chat to anyone about
my house and I am not going with you.
Oh, and why not, may I ask?
There is not a single picture of me
in that book.
- Dad, it's a book about Veronika.
- There are pictures of you in it.
Yes, from when I was five.
If you don't even think
I belong in that book,
why the hell should I stand there
looking like a prat?
All right, don't. Just stay at home.
I mean, how come you insist on
sitting there being all grumpy?
Any other father would be chuffed
to bits if their daughter came along
and tried to evict them
from their house.
You want us to drop a project
worth over 50 million
- just because you don't fancy moving?
- Yes. - Your little bitty house.
You know what? I have lived
in that caravan for 40 years creating art
while you and your exalted chums
have lived the life of Riley.
And now, as if that wasn't even wretched enough,
now you want me to live beside a motorway.
But no matter what,
you'll have to move, all right?
That's the way it is.
Sometimes we have to move on.
You are the only one
who wants to dispose of me.
What do you think Frederik will do
if he gets the house?
- Frederik? - Yes.
- Frederik won't chuck me out.
- I have played the drums with Frederik.
- No, dad. Don't be so naive.
How do you think Frederik
will feel about you
and all his hollyhocks, his fences,
when you come along with all your mess,
your piles of rubbish and junk and noise
and I don't know what else?
Listen, Sausage girl.
Mind you don't end up just
as cynical as all those art dealers
that you are so much in love with,
and consider me just bad for business
so I must be got rid of,
no matter what I have done
for Veronika and you.
You have all these fine ideologies
in that head of yours, yes?
But in reality all you do is sit there
smoking pot and nothing ever comes of it.
- Wh
- You have the same furniture,
you have the same clothes,
you have the same hair.
You haven't thought
a single new thought for thirty years!
Why am I the one who has to have
this talk with you?
I told Veronika a thousand times
that she should tell you this.
Did you see that foul he did?
He was blind, that ref.
If we hadn't been defending so well,
I think they'd have broken us.
What are you doing?
Frederik suggested a settlement and
I think I have thought of a way to do it.
- Okay?
- It may not work.
But at least I'll have tried.
I'll have to ask them if we can meet up
tomorrow. There isn't much time left.
- You'll ask them all, just like that?
- Yes.
- I don't mean round here.
- Why not?
- There isn't really room.
- For three visitors?
There is loads of room, and heck,
this is where you happen to live.
All right.
- I can nip down to the service station
for some rye bread. - Thanks.
I can be your chef.
You are even worse
at cooking than I am.
- Eww
- You are.
You really are.
- Easy does it, easy does it.
- Yes.
No, I should never have done this.
- Shall I do it?
- No, no.
Signe, it looks great.
Come on, relax.
Come on.
Hi.
What do you want?
Signe, I want you to read this.
I have tried
to help you understand
how everything hangs together.
Please read it.
- Hello. - Hi.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Hi, Lise.
- Hi there. - Emil.
Long time no see.
How nice to see you here too!
No, she is not in on it.
- No, no, no, I was just leaving.
- Oh, you're just leaving.
- In that case give my regards to John.
- I will.
Hi.
Gosh, it smells good.
- Hi. - Hey.
- Hi there.
- Hi again.
- Hi. - Hi.
I've got one of those,
from my son Villads.
- He's a big fan.
- Wow, that's great. - Yes.
You should bring him along to a game
one day so I can show him around.
That would go down incredibly well.
- Yes. I'll just
- No.
- Are those the trophies?
- Wow. Is it okay if I
- take one for Villads? - Of course.
- Will you? - Yeah, sure.
- No, let me take it. - OK.
- Are you going to be in it?
- Come on! - Yes.
- Say cheese.
Cheese
- I'll just take another.
- OK.
Did it take one? Yes, there.
- Look. - It turned out just fine.
- It turned out really well.
- Now all I have to do is hit the ball.
- OK. - It's like kind of required.
- Apart from that. - I see.
- Can I have a go? - Yes, of course.
- No, no. - I am so sorry.
I think I am standing on the box, right?
- Are you ready? Are you ready?
- Fine. Calm down.
Calm down, Frederik.
- Throw it nice and easy, Frederik.
- Do you need a hand? - Yes.
- I'm OK.
- Come on then.
OK, it's pretty obvious that
you've got a handball boyfriend.
- Are you ready?
- Frederik.
Sorry.
- Hi. - Sorry.
- That's OK.
- Hi, Gro.
- Hi, Gro.
Hi. For you.
Thanks.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hey. - Hi.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Is it about Veronika?
- Yes. I edited it.
Fritz Massin wrote the preface.
- Wow. Thanks ever so.
- It's really nice.
Yes.
- How long have you been here?
- An hour or two? - Two hours I think.
How about we get a photo of us all?
All four of us?
- I'd really love that.
- Of course.
- Will you take it, Andreas?
- Sure.
- Yes. - Where?
- Just here.
- Wow, goodness me!
- If you just stand here. - Yes.
That's right. Now, a bit closer
together. Yes, that's right.
- All right.
- Yes. - And smile.
But you all know that Veronika gave me
this letter, of course,
and so I thought it was really important
for us to talk about it together.
The first time I saw you three
was at the funeral
- when you sang that song.
- "Good night. " - Yes.
It was so weird,
it hit me that I had missed you
- even though I didn't even know
you existed. - We missed you too.
So I think we should sing it now.
No, of course I don't. I was joking.
- It would have been fun, though.
- That scared you, Frederik?
You could always just move your lips
and pretend you were singing along.
No, but listen up. I don't think
you have any idea how lucky you are.
That you have each other.
I always wanted a sister or brother
and I think that's why reckon
it's so important for us to stick together.
Dead right.
OK, I have something
I want to show you.
I know it's only a suggestion
I'm making just now.
It is not what any of you
have been dreaming of
but it would mean a whole lot to me
if you'd consider it.
OK, it's totally lousy.
It's just a sketch.
Frederik and Emil share the big house.
Gro gets the barn
and all this bit here for
yes, the museum
and the building plans.
And then there's Thomas up there
and I thought that me and Andreas
could share the annex
and use it as a holiday home.
We can change it completely however
you like. It's just a rough sketch.
We can talk it over.
It's a really fine sketch.
- Really fine.
- Thank you.
But the museum really can't be built
in a barn in Frederik's back garden.
It's the whole of this area too?
Yes, but no way Frederik will ever want
to live so close to the museum.
I see.
- I think it's a really good idea.
- Cool. - Drop it, Frederik.
If you thought there would be a museum
you would never go near that house.
- It's better than you getting it all.
- But the museum isn't mine.
- Of course it is.
- It is not! - Of course it is.
It is a giant tombstone inscribed with
the words: Look at my clever daughter Gro!
What you want is to build
a giant museum for your father
- in which you are a living installation.
- Now then, stop it! - Frederik.
It's quite apparent that
in this world there is just you.
You and mum.
That's always been the damned case.
It's just like now, Gro. Where are we
in your plans? No, we aren't anywhere.
It wasn't the idea
that we'd get into an argument.
I am the only one who's tried
to keep this family together. Right?
I picked up your kids and I ferried them
to and fro so they could see their granny.
You have picked up
so she could play the celebrated grandma.
You are so paranoid
and you always have been super paranoid.
It's just like when my father died,
Emil and I were packed off
to some complete stranger of a lady. Did you
give the slightest thought to how we felt?
No, you were so busy pissing around the
world to various openings with your mother.
You know sod all about me, you have no idea
what it was like and how miserable we were.
Yes, I do. I know that
she stole your lover, too.
Carl left you and
then he came home and shot himself.
What is there to admire him for?
He was a fucking coward.
Frederik. Frederik
What want a fight?
What the hell are you up to? Chill, damn it.
What the hell are you playing at, man?
You are off your head!
You're bleeding.
Here.
- Did your teeth come to any harm?
- No.
- Try to feel them. - I have felt them,
there's nothing wrong with them.
Veronika is the only thing
we have in common.
If we build that museum
it will make sense of the fact
that she devoted her whole life to art.
- Right?
- You have become just like her.
I can't go along with this.
- Sorry, Signe.
- Gro.
Frederik only says he'll go along
because he knows it'll mean no museum.
Gro.
I I am sorry
for my sister's behaviour.
You did everything so nicely.
- I'll pay for the damage.
- No need for that. - Frederik.
- I insist. - Please don't.
- No need, Frederik. You are our guest.
- Of course you don't have to pay.
- All right,
but now the money's there. My offer
from yesterday is still on the table.
You can always consider it.
I'll I will give it to him.
- OK.
- When he has calmed down a bit.
Sunshine, art doesn't mean
as much to us as it did to mum.
It was sweet of you to try.
I was just thinking
if they intend to come and see us often,
we are really going to need
a new house,
right?
Damn it!
You did try.
- Gro.
- Hi.
- There she is. - Bjarne.
- Hi, Gro. - Hi.
- I had a meeting that dragged out.
- Yes, of course. - Sorry.
- What's all this I hear about you resigning
from the art gallery? Is it true? - Yes.
Weren't you just going
to take some leave?
- Gro, darling, hi.
- Hi! Good to see you.
Congratulations on the book.
It really is splendid!
I have been in touch with Lena Klang
from the Swedish Cultural Institute
and she says she is prepared
to support the grant.
- Oh, how exciting!
- Isn't it just absolutely marvellous?
Simply. You must get her
to phone me, won't you?
And I ate at a Thai restaurant yesterday
and they don't come any better.
You must promise me you'll do me
a favour and come with me one day.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Hi. Hi.
We must have a word about my father's house
because he is not happy with the location.
- OK. We'll just have to find a work-around.
- Yes, incorporated into the museum somehow.
- Hi.
- What are you doing here?
- You are so beautiful.
- What are you doing? - Kiss me.
No! Hey.
- Are you drunk?
- No.
- What are you doing?
- No, of course I am drunk.
- How long have you been here?
- I missed you.
- Hey, everyone is watching.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- What are you drinking?
- Linje Akvavit, of course.
- What the hell do you think I am drinking?
Want some? - Yes, please.
- What have you been up to?
- I got into a fight with Frederik.
- Did he give you that?
- Yes, I bloodied his nose.
You fought Did you really?
Pop out and get into my car.
It's parked right outside.
- You want me to leave?
- Wait for me and don't finish the bottle.
I just have to have a word with
someone here, then I'll be right with you.
- You'll come out?
- Out.
It hurts.
Let me see.
Do you realise,
they noticed us over there?
I couldn't care less.
- I am not sure Claudia thinks that way.
- No, I don't want to talk about it.
I have missed you so badly. So badly.
Why don't you just move to Denmark?
We could live together.
Is that what you want?
I didn't think you wanted that.
But I think I love you.
Do you now?
I am tired.
Gro.
Signe.
What are you doing down here?
- Hey.
- Good morning.
- Haven't you slept at all?
- Not really.
- Morning.
- Morning.
You know what I dreamed last night?
I dreamed we'd moved into that house.
And we had five young daughters
running around playing.
It's no bad idea
to move into that house.
There's a whacking great garden.
It's a big house
and you can plant bushes and trees.
You could have your own nursery garden
I am giving the house to the museum.
I think Veronika gave it to me
because she was overwhelmed by guilt.
And the will Frederik is mentioned in
was signed 13 years ago.
She spent the last year of her life
setting up that trust
and she has written precisely
what she wants with this business.
- Signe, it
- Art was what mattered most to Veronika.
I think it mattered
more than her family.
I think the museum is the right thing.
Yeah
yeah.
You are looking at jewellery.
Hi, Emil.
Hi, Thomas.
She certainly had
a feel for that, did Veronika.
Yes.
I went for a walk and I thought 'tea',
I would have a cup of tea.
Yes, tea, tea. Kid, can I get you
to help me do a little thing first?
- Yes, of course.
- Nice. - Yes, sure.
- What did they come to real blows?
- Yes.
It was chaos chaos.
Then she biffed him.
Gro has always packed a good punch.
She certainly has.
- What are you going to use those planks for?
- To barricade myself in.
They're not bloody chucking me out
without a fight.
Who wants to chuck you out?
Gro and her airy fairy museum
where there's no room for artists.
- Gro wants to chuck you out?
- Yes, I don't know how it came about.
All our kids turned
into petit bourgeois types
with housing equity
and church weddings
and Frederik with his quaint little family
and now they want to come up here.
Yes, well that may be Frederik
but he'd never chuck you out.
He'd never do a thing like that.
So you say.
No, he wouldn't. You were the only
good thing left after dad died.
- You played the drums with him too.
- Yes, but I'm not sure he remembers.
Yes, he does.
It'd also be great for Hannah and Villads
if you were here and me when I visit.
Cheers.
Hi.
Fantastic.
Do you remember
what you said to me yesterday?
No, I was drunk and tired.
You said you loved me.
Yes, I'm sorry. I know very well
- You have Claudia and we have a deal.
- Yeah, yeah. - That's fine.
Will you tell me again?
No
Will you tell me again?
- I don't think so.
- Yes.
- Just wait down here.
- Yes, that's fine.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Signe, thank you!
Gosh, I forgot to sign it.
- Aren't you coming in?
- No, I have to get to work.
- This is just so cool. Thank you.
- No need to thank me.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I am not doing this for you.
It is just as much for me.
But listen, I want there to be
two new seats on the board
for Frederik and Emil in case
they want to join in some day.
Yes, of course.
That's a good idea.
- Won't you just come in quickly?
- No, I must be going.
I just hope they'll have a cup
of coffee with me one day.
- Of course they will, I am quite sure.
- Right. I'll be off.
- Yes. Have a good day.
- You too.
Bloody hell! It's just wild!
- She's bloody gone and done it!
- Done what?
Signe, I have just talked to her.
She has given the house to Gro.
- I don't believe it.
- We have been disinherited.
- Don't you see? It's completely insane!
- What's going on?
- What about the court case?
- I really don't know!
- We must figure something out.
- Frederik, Frederik, Frederik, stay here.
We'll just sue as planned, right?
Frederik?
- Hi, Thomas.
- Hi.
- Have you got lost?
- No. Listen
- If you get the house
- Yes.
What about my caravan?
- Yes, what about it?
- Well, can it stay put?
Yes, of course.
Where else would it go?
- So I'll be able to stay?
- Yes, of course, it's where you live.
In that case I think you should have
a look at those trust documents.
What about them?
I don't think that's Veronika's signature
on those papers.
