Badehotellet (2013) s02e03 Episode Script

I bought a boat.
I need to think about my choices in life.
Has it all been sorted? The son in America It's not all sorted.
My friends are asking about the holiday homes.
- We need the governor's approval.
- Invite him out here.
We can't live next to Mum and Dad.
When your father wants to give us a house, it's difficult to say no.
Ditmar, you have to show them that you're in charge.
If I have to change my statement, you need to stay away from here.
I've been wanted for a year because of your lies.
Lies? It could have been you.
- Morten, wait! - He might call the police.
SEASIDE HOTEL Helene? Helene, are you there? Darling, please open the door.
Is it you, little Fie? I was trying to get hold of Mr Aurland.
- Isn't he painting by the sea? - Of course he is! Thank you, Fie.
Yes? - Shall I take the tray, Miss Madsen? - Yes, please.
- I've got a message from your father.
- Really? After three days up here, he expects to see you at dinner.
Tell him I won't do that until he has called the police.
- Haven't you heard from Morten? - He called last night.
- Is he sailing again? - No, he wants to stay at home.
He'll come out here whenever he wants.
That serves my father right.
I don't know if Morten's stubbornness will help.
My father will give in if he wants to talk to me again.
Hello.
- Is Molly Andersen here? - Yes, I'll go and get her.
Poul, is that you? - Did you get my letter? - Yes.
I said I'd be here in 14 days.
That's today.
I wasn't aware of the days.
You're very welcome here.
Say hello to Mr Andersen's son who came all the way from America.
This is Otilia, Edith and Martha and you met Fie earlier.
- Hello, Mr Andersen.
- Welcome home.
- Thank you.
- How did you travel from the station? - We didn't hear a car.
- I walked.
- Did you walk all that way? - No point in wasting money on that.
You must be tired.
And hungry.
- We'll get you lunch.
- Can I use the phone? Certainly.
It's out there in its usual place.
Thank you.
- Is he going to run the hotel? - That's what we need to find out.
- Can you prepare room one? - Is he staying in a guest room? Yes.
That's been my plan all along.
Can you tell Mr Gottlieb that I'm waiting for him out here? Yes, he knows what it's about.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
Hello.
Are you a new guest? Excuse me, but we don't often get new guests.
- I'm Mr Andersen's son.
- Really? I couldn't tell.
You live in America.
Yes.
This is Mr Andersen's son from America.
- Poul? - Hello.
Are you back? I say - This is my sister.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- It was sad about your father.
- Were you in America? - You just heard that.
It's terrible not being able to say goodbye to your dad.
I bet you had many things you wanted to tell him.
- That can't be changed now.
- Only because you're not open, - Spirits won't talk to closed people.
- No, spirits don't exist.
If you had been more open, we could have talked to your late husband.
My husband and I said what needed saying.
That's what you achieve with all your nonsense.
- Will he be running the hotel? - I certainly hope not.
We're used to Mrs Andersen now.
- Did you make the phone call? - Yes.
- Then have some lunch.
- I'm not having that one.
- Don't you want a beer? - I don't drink alcohol.
- Would you like elderberry? - A glass of water is fine.
You should taste it.
It's lovely.
Thank you.
No to beer? He's not like his dad in that respect.
- Why is he having a guest room? - She wants to please him.
He could have a private room.
He didn't want Mr Andersen to come to America.
- Why was Poul mad at him? - Mrs Andersen didn't say.
- Fie must know.
- It's none of our business.
No, but even so All I'm saying is that you don't need to give him the best room.
Don't forget who stayed here the last time.
- Count Ditmar's parents.
- He was more angry when he left.
- That's not because of the room.
- Remember the ones before? - We haven't had any more this year.
- Last year.
Mr Lindberg was killed.
This room brings bad luck.
You can't say that, Edith.
- Mr Weyse? - I'm sorry.
I thought it was Mr Aurland.
He has borrowed one of my books.
"Buddenbrooks" by Thomas Mann.
Wonderful novel.
They all die.
It's a bit sad.
But a masterpiece.
I've been asked to read it on the radio.
I wanted to read while I had the time.
- Mr Aurland is painting.
- Of course! I should have known.
Have you heard that Mr Andersen's son is back from America? - He might be running the hotel.
- I'll ask Mrs Aurland.
- Will she know? - My book.
Your book But she took off.
- What do you mean? - She left with Mrs Madsen.
- Has she left? - I don't think so.
Now that you say it Her father called several times.
I think he was a bit poorly.
She might have gone to Copenhagen to visit him.
Do you know who just arrived? Otto? Do you know who just arrived? - Mr Andersen's son from America.
- Right.
He seems very pleasant.
You should meet him.
- Why? - He might be running the hotel.
- Is that what he's saying? - I didn't ask him.
It would be better for you to ask.
I can't see that making much difference.
- Can't you leave those maps? - A sea voyage calls for planning.
I's not easy to sail into Stockholm's archipelago.
- When are you leaving? - When I've finished in Aalborg.
- And when is that? - Only God knows.
Do you want to come swimming? You go.
I'll join you later.
Mrs Madsen and Mrs Aurland asked again if I wanted to go this morning.
I hope you didn't.
- No, I know what you think.
- Good, Alice.
The twins were asking what Dad was doing.
I told them to go and see.
Then Dad would tell them about his journey.
- Did you hear what I said? - Pardon? - Nothing.
- Right.
There you are! All alone.
I'm struggling with the shadows today.
- The shadows? - Yes.
Renoir realised that shadows weren't black or brown.
Their colour reflected their surroundings.
They're giving me a bit of grief.
You're struggling with the art and then your wife has just left.
- I beg your pardon? - That's what Mrs Frigh said.
No, she's just gone to Skagen with Mrs Madsen.
To Skagen? I did wonder.
You don't leave mid-season.
- A little shopping trip? - A visit to the doctor.
Is Mrs Madsen poorly? - No, it's my wife.
- Your wife? - What's wrong with her? - I shouldn't discuss that.
I hope it's not serious.
No, then you wouldn't be here.
- Would you? - It's clearing up.
This is hopeless.
Can I come in? Which hand would you like? Come on, which hand? Oops Nothing there.
- Which hand now? - The other one.
- Good choice.
- Where did you get that? I got it in Skagen.
I saw it the last time we were there.
Aren't you going to try it on? - Aren't you coming down to eat? - Don't do Dad's dirty work.
I'm not.
But I miss you down there.
I won't talk to him until he speaks to the police and clears Morten.
I'm furious with him and you just defend him.
- I haven't said a word.
- I can see it on you.
This is a totally innocent I said no to the house in Charlottenlund.
- Did you? - Yes, I did.
- What did Dad say? - We didn't discuss it.
I just told him we wanted to live somewhere else.
Don't I deserve you to come swimming now? - I don't want to meet Dad.
- He's meeting the governor.
- Why aren't you there? - I wanted to be with my fiancée.
Come on.
Let's go swimming.
- Have you finished, Poul? - Yes, thank you.
- Coffee? - Let's look at the lawyer's plan.
- Sure.
I'll get the letter.
- No need.
I've got mine here.
Fie? - Could you serve the coffee? - Yes, Mrs Andersen.
- There's a cash part.
- Your dad had saved a bit.
Then there's the value of the hotel.
The lawyer suggests that I get the cash and you get the hotel.
The lawyer didn't think you were interested in the hotel.
- He's right.
- What do you mean? I'm not interested in the hotel.
Thank you, Fie.
You're not interested in the hotel? I thought that's why you came.
I live in America now.
I'll never move back.
He's not interested in the hotel.
He wants to go back to America.
- He can't come here and decide.
- The guests wouldn't be happy.
Imagine if they weren't allowed to drink alcohol.
- Can I help you? - Where do I find Poul Andersen? He's in here.
Don't you think the valuation of the hotel is correct? It seems a bit low.
It surprised me that it matched the cash part.
It was all done by the lawyer.
He sent Jonsen out here.
- They looked at it all.
- I'd like a second opinion.
- This gentleman is asking for you.
- Mr Gottlieb? - Yes.
- I called you an hour ago - This is Mrs Andersen.
- Hello.
I've been asked to do a valuation.
Can I have a look around? Yes, of course you can.
- Is that OK? - Yes.
I'd like to start at the top.
- Can you show me the way? - Yes, certainly.
- Had the lawyer done something wrong? - I don't know.
Poul apparently thinks so.
- Did we not say two o'clock? - I believe so.
We did.
Is that the governor? No, that's engineer Rønn from the county hall.
- I had a meeting with him.
- Didn't we ask for the governor? - Yes, quite clearly.
- Not clear enough.
- Lovely area.
- That's why we chose it.
- Rønn.
- Madsen.
- Hello.
- Is the governor on his way? No, he's got an important meeting.
He's arranging a race on the beach.
The governor is into cars.
I almost hope he can't get the funding.
Don't tell him I said that.
- Shall we have a look at it? - Yes.
We've got the water here and the houses here.
The houses fit perfectly into the landscape.
Yes, those are fancy houses.
Hang on to that one.
I just need to There you are! I've heard you for a long time, you little rascal! Would you like to see? - See what? - It's a linnet.
Down there.
- A bird? - Yes, a linnet is a bird.
And he's had success with the ladies.
The red breast gives it away.
The more ladies he sees, the more red his breast will get.
Wonderful nature.
It's a good thing the same thing doesn't happen to us.
That would be a good one! - How do you get out here? - There's a small road here.
- Is that the only one? - Yes, no other roads.
- That's not so good.
- What? The road is in a conservation area.
You can't use that.
- Sorry.
- Ditmar! - No - You have to jump a bit higher.
No, that's not funny.
I'm sorry, Miss Madsen.
- Are you going in? - I can't be bothered with you two.
They were told off by their dad.
I think his nautical charts were a bit messed up.
- Are you there? - Daddy is stupid.
- You mustn't say that.
- We couldn't try daddy's new boat.
Mummy's not going.
But we don't care.
Can I get through? Wasn't he just evaluating the hotel? He's checking everything.
- Did he see you changing? - Certainly not.
He could have done.
Fie knows why Poul was angry with his dad.
- Why? - I didn't think you were interested.
- I'm not.
- I know that Poul was fond of a maid.
- His father ruined that.
- Did he? How? I don't know, but it made him leave for America.
- I'm going to have a rest.
- Get well soon.
- And thanks for driving.
- You're welcome.
- Where are the girls? - Miss Amanda is at the beach.
- Vera's in the living room.
- Thank you.
Swedenborg is very interesting.
The dead enter a room between life and death before moving on.
If something's unfinished or they've been treated unfairly, - - they stay in that room and get no peace.
- Do you think Mr Andersen is there? - Yes.
And I think we can help him.
- You two look like you're having fun.
- You've got a sweet daughter.
- Mr Andersen's son is back.
- To run the hotel? No, he's thankfully going back to America.
- Lydia, there's coffee in the garden.
- We'll talk some more later, Vera.
- Talk about what? - Nothing.
Lydia, if you keep scaring the child, I'll have to tell her parents.
- You always think the worst of me.
- No.
- I can go home, if you like.
- But I don't.
- You can't be here.
- How do you feel? - I feel fine, thank you.
- You went to the doctor in Skagen.
- Are you ill? - It's nothing.
Please go.
You don't go to the doctor with "nothing".
I'm pregnant.
- Yes, you heard that correctly.
- Are you sure? - The doctor certainly was.
- But how? - Amanda's engagement.
- That was only three days ago.
When was it then? When we met.
Before I went over there.
We agreed it was the very last time.
Do you remember? Was that where? - It's a catastrophe.
Please go.
- But, darling - Are you carrying our child? - Now, Edward! - Yes, of course.
- I don't know how to tell Hjalmar.
We'll find out.
For now, it's our little secret.
Who are you? Why are you taking notes? I'm writing down the height of the doors.
Yes, you are.
And you do that well.
- Ditmar! - Don't be cross, Amanda.
- How was the water? - Lovely.
No, they just played ball with each other.
Then we have to team up next time.
I'm good with balls.
I'll take that into consideration.
- How did it go with the governor? - That was very entertaining.
- He sent Rønn instead.
- The one from Hjørring? Yes.
But he said that the governor says no.
- Really? - The road is in a conservation area.
- Was Dad happy? - Then I don't want to see him angry.
- Have you heard? - Yes.
That's terrible.
This isn't over.
I'm going to talk to the governor.
- Do you want me to come? - No, thanks.
Hang on, young lady.
I hope Miss Fie gave you my message.
She did, but like I told her, it's all up to you.
This stops here! You're embarrassing me with your childish behaviour.
- The whole hotel can hear you.
- You're coming down for dinner.
- When you do what you promised.
- I'm glad I didn't clear him.
- His name is Morten.
- I don't care about the rooms.
I still think he killed Lindberg.
Well, then it could be you, Dad.
Or Ditmar.
Now, now - Don't you want me to come? - No, knock some sense into her.
- Where are you going? - To Løkken.
- To do what? - Talk to the governor.
- Isn't he in Hjørring? - I want to help with the beach race.
- Help him how? - He needs money.
- Are you giving him money? - A helping hand.
- Is there only one box left? - No, we've got another two.
- They all go in my car.
- Are they for the governor? I don't want any more nonsense.
They said no to our project.
That explains it all.
- Why didn't you invite me in here? - You've got the sea view.
- Ditmar To stay with you.
- Oh Your father wouldn't like that.
Before we marry.
My parents didn't wait.
I'm proof of that.
But my parents did.
- Aren't you changing? - I'll do that afterwards.
Won't you come over here? It's wonderfully tempting- - but I have to see Mr Dupont about the holiday house drawings.
- But that won't happen now.
- I can't keep postponing it.
You're so boring! - What about croquet later? - That's a very sexy suggestion I didn't know you were here.
I've got water.
Thank you.
- Where are you from? - Kærhøj.
- That's quite a way from here.
- Yes.
You remind me of someone.
She also worked here.
She was a sweet girl.
It was many years ago.
She's probably married with children.
- Have you got a family in America? - No.
I haven't found the right one yet.
- I better - Has the surveyor finished? No, he has just asked for the accounts for the last five years.
- I hope it's not too much trouble.
- We'll manage.
Mrs Andersen wants to do it properly.
Can I bring you anything? Coffee? No, thanks.
It'll soon be dinnertime.
We have to get your husband involved.
At some point, you won't be able to hide it anymore.
You and Hjalmar haven't been doing it for a long time.
I have to change that.
- What do you mean? - I have to seduce Hjalmar.
Seduce? You don't mean that.
- Helene, I forbid it! - Preferably tonight.
Cheat on me with your husband? Not here.
Not while I'm at the hotel.
Nobody asked you to come.
It's time for croquet! Amanda! Amanda? - Amanda, it's not what you think.
- Let me go! It's dinnertime, count Ditmar.
- Isn't Miss Madsen eating? - She wasn't there.
I think she left.
There's trouble with count Ditmar.
- Why do you say that? - I saw them.
He might be angry because she's not eating.
She wants her dad to call the police.
He'll never do that.
I'm sorry, but I don't think he will.
Mr Madsen will never give in to Morten.
Otilia doesn't think Mr Madsen will ever give in.
I dreamt of Morten last night.
I dreamt we were cleaning fish.
I taught him that once.
He had become much better than me.
Suddenly he said It was strange.
He said: "It'll all be good.
" It was so real.
Even when I woke up.
It still feels real.
Mr Gottlieb is leaving now.
Didn't he want to see the accounts? - He would like to borrow them.
- He can do that.
- He'll bring them back tomorrow.
- That's fine, Poul.
Poul looks sad.
This was his own idea.
What happened with Poul and the girl? How did his father ruin it? Julius tried to get together with the girl.
He said that Poul let him do it.
Next day, the girl had left.
Vera? My sister is going to Skagen next week.
She wants me to go, but I'll get out of it.
- Do you know what we'll do? - Yes.
She's coming.
I'm right here, Olga.
- Racing? - On the beach in Løkken! - Are you taking part? - No, I'm providing the finances.
Are they competing for The Governor's Trophy? - Governor Wulff's Trophy.
- Which is your idea.
I'm slightly concerned about the procedure.
It wasn't cheap.
I had to build a new road.
I still find it troubling, if civil service is affected by - Human vanity.
- I'm sorry, did you say something? You seem a bit absent-minded.
Say hello to Mr Andersen's son from America.
- Welcome.
- Frigh.
- Madsen.
- Aurland.
- Hello.
- We were very fond of your father.
- Tragic accident.
- What would you like to drink? - Nothing, thanks.
- Brandy? - I don't touch alcohol.
- Is it illegal over there? - Yes.
- Like Norway and nearly Sweden.
- But thankfully not in Denmark.
- Is prohibition the way forward? It leads to illegal bootlegging.
The bootleggers are not far from here.
They're in Frederikshavn.
They're out on Hertha's Flak, a flat stretch of water.
- How do they dare? - How long have you been there? For ten years.
I left when I was 25.
Full of gumption.
America is the land of opportunity.
Did you know anyone? Did you speak the language? - Only a little.
- How do you get a job? A man got me a job at the harbour for a part of my pay.
- That's brutal.
- Like the tax man.
Do you still work at the harbour? My landlord's brother runs a big automobile company.
- I work there now.
- Repairing cars? No, I'm a salesman.
I've been offered to buy the company.
- I say.
That's nice.
- Indeed it is.
- It might not be possible.
- You've got your father's heritage.
That does help a bit, doesn't it? You're cold.
Come on in.
- Won't you please come in? - Why did you get engaged to me? Because I Because I love you.
Amanda, Mr Dupont went too far.
Maybe he thought I was like him.
- Why did he think that? - I don't know.
They're not like us.
They're broken people and if they can break other people they enjoy it.
I will naturally demand that he leaves immediately.
Amanda Amanda Come here.
No, don't kiss me after kissing him! It's us again.
- I'm going to bed.
- Now? - Yes.
- Mrs Aurland is not well.
- Get well soon.
- Thank you.
- Then we can play solitaire.
- Or play it with three.
- Unless you're going? - My husband has got his maps.
- Are you coming up, Hjalmar? - I'm playing.
Yes, Mrs Aurland, we're playing.
- I didn't realise he played.
- Oh, yes.
I love chess.
- Just go up.
This might take a while.
- Yes, just go up and get some sleep.
And yet I hadn't seen that one.
Checkmate.
Thank you.
I hope we can do this again.
- Yes.
- Goodnight.
Goodnight.
Sleep well.
We might as well have gone to bed.
Have they moved the beds? They used to be separate.
- That's right, Hjalmar.
- We can quickly move them back.
- Does it matter? - But your cold It's nearly gone.
It helped going to the doctor.
I'm glad to hear that.
Goodnight.
Yes Goodnight.
What's that? - That's my hand, Hjalmar.
- I say.
No! - I hope you hadn't gone to bed.
- What is it? I was wondering if I could borrow some toothpaste.
- I'll bring it back in a minute.
- Don't worry.
Do it tomorrow.
That's very nice of you.
Thank you.
- Have you told the kitchen? - What? - That I'm leaving in the morning.
- Weren't you staying for a few days? - I never said that.
- You've been a real joy this time - The kids mess up my maps.
- Maybe they're missing their dad.
He won't spend his holiday with us.
He'll go by himself afterwards.
- I asked if you wanted to come.
- I can't stand sailing.
But I'll tell the girls that we - Was it 6.
30? - You don't have to get up.
No, I don't mind.
I want to get up early.
I've been a fool.
I nearly believed you.
"It was that terrible Mr Dupont.
" What are you talking about? Lindberg.
It happened with him, didn't it? Was that why he came? He said he'd met you in a place where your kind meet.
I don't understand what you're trying to say.
Did he blackmail you? He did.
That's why he suddenly turned up.
Ditmar! If you don't tell the truth, I'll tell my dad what I saw today.
- Then you can try to convince him! - I didn't kill him! If that's what you If that's what you think.
He just fell and hit his head.
I didn't touch him.
He had photographs.
I was drunk.
I've paid him lots of money.
Somebody has been on the run for a year for what you did! - I'm sorry about that.
- Sorry? - You have to help him! - What do you want me to do? Tell the police it was me? Tell the police what my father won't.
You were there.
You saw the same.
I can't go behind your father's back.
Isn't that what you've done all along? What can I say? He'll find out that I've spoken to the police.
What would you rather he found out? - Good morning.
- Good morning.
- We'd given up on you this year.
- I sent my husband to Aalborg.
Guess who came down for breakfast! Miss Madsen.
Has she really got Mr Madsen to give in? - That was about time.
- It's lovely.
- Where's Ditmar? - He's gone to Skagen.
He's telling the police what you wouldn't tell them.
I've knocked some sense into my fiancé.
This is my valuation.
- That much? - I believe that to be correct.
- That's twice as much as Mr Jonsen's.
- I don't know Mr Jonsen.
There are those who believe- - that they're helping the heirs with an unrealistically low valuation.
I don't approve of that.
Especially when you get the cash and Mrs Andersen gets the hotel.
It is important that the valuation is correct.
Don't you agree? I believe Mrs Andersen agrees.
- But Molly has to pay a lot.
- Yes, it's quite a lot.
- I can't do that to her.
- What do you mean? How is she going to find the money? What you haven't got, you have to borrow.
That's not your problem.
This is your rightful share.
And you do need the money, I gather.
Raising the money is up to Mrs Andersen.
