[bunniefuu]

I need the master key
for The Beach Hotel.

-We're all done now, right?
-We are.

Have you used my card?

You're paying me back every
last penny! This is no longer yours.

Wow, you're getting married!

Please, come to the kitchen.
All the guests are feeling unwell.

Environmental Health is here.

What would it take for them
to run into real financial trouble?

What's the minibar in the
rooms like? Are you coming?

There's no time!

I'll stay until the problem is
resolved. Nothing matters more!

-Are you on your own?
-I'm waiting for Julie.

She was in the office when I left.

-I'm so bloody stupid.
-No, Julie...

-You're up early.
-Yeah.

-Can't we talk about yesterday?
-Sebastian asked to meet.

-Take the car, if you like.
-Aren't we going together?

Aksel?

THE BEACH HOTEL

Good morning.

I suppose it is.

What are you up to today?

Well, looking for
a needle in a haystack.

I've never had
so little evidence to work with.

A young man is m*rder*d in a public
space and nobody has seen anything.

No friends or family
are missing him.

We don't even know where he lives.

Sounds like
a good start for a crime novel.

Don't you dare.

You'll have a breakthrough soon.

And when it does,
why don't you invite me round

to try that vintage Barolo
that you talked about?

And until then?

Until then we'll manage
with the mini bar.

Good morning, darling.

I've bought some fresh rolls,

the ones with cheese that you like.

I'm not hungry.

I'll make it up to you. I promise.

Please, Lojsan.

Wow, this is like a hotel breakfast.

And what's next?

I mean a fancy breakfast
won't really get you anywhere.

What's your plan?

I don't know.

Dinner? Maybe flowers?

What do you think I should do?

Okay...

My sister wanted a wedding
that's out of this world.

I already know that.

But you don't know how to do it.
Let's start from the beginning.

First we need a list of the top
wedding venues in Saltsjövik.

That's easy peasy.

I'll just google it
and create a spreadsheet.

Just a simple list.
I'll put it together.

You just behave yourself
and await instructions. Okay?

Okay.

Where would you have been
without me?

Are you up already?

What time is it?

-Lukas, what's the matter?
-Nothing.

My mum is utterly distraught after
what happened with the wedding.

-Come here.
-I have to go to work.

Sure.

The best thing about food poisoning
is that you get to stay at home.

I'm late.

SALTSJÖVIK BEACH HOTEL

I bought you those rolls
with cheese that you like.

Oh, Lukas.

You are so thoughtful.

I need to go to the kitchen
to see Environmental Health.

Right.

Did we find out what it was?

Yes, it was some kind
of E.coli bacteria.

Luckily nobody became seriously ill.

How long until we open again?

We'll find out soon,

but unless everything is approved
we'll be closed for a month.

Earth calling Sebastian.

I'm sorry.

It's all a bit...

Is it your dad?

Why not go and see him?

Maybe. I don't know.

I don't want to
stir things up again.

But if you just see him
all will be fine.

Julie!

Hi. Thanks for coming.

Have a seat. There's tea and coffee.

You said it was important.

We're working on our interim report.

Yes...Beach yoga
has been a success,

which made us think we could do
something more along those lines.

But the VIP guest didn't turn up.

We had complaints about that, since
some people had come from afar.

Exactly. At least people are not
demanding travel expenses.

Huge thanks to Lovisa
for saving the day.

I'm sorry, but the response
on social media was pretty positive.

Which is why
we should make the most of this.

And what is better than one of the
founders being a yoga instructor?

We're suggesting a PR event
where we present our vision.

Not only to the local press, but
to the international yoga community.

Should we really go all out now?

Wouldn't it be better
to wait for the opening?

I like the idea.

Prebooking for the dedicated,
members and subscribers.

I think we could be fully booked
before the opening.

Exactly.

Sorry, it's the builders.
Julie Grip.

Has that happened before?

No, I'm coming. Thanks. Bye.

There's something wrong
with the alarm.

-Oh.
-Do you need help?

No, I'll deal with it.

-But let's talk more about this.
-Sure.

Paper towels should be available
in the washing up area.

I'll see to that.

There is no documentation
of fridge checks at these times.

Inadequate documentation
of spot checks of food.

You can open tomorrow.

I'm sorry?

These are minor remarks.
Bacteria was present in your food,

but you managed everything
according to protocol. You may open.

-That would be all.
-Thank you.

I'm sorry.

Good Lord.

Right, we'd better get cracking.
There you are.

Werner, just one thing.

We had to cancel
our wedding yesterday,

so I was wondering
if we could reschedule it.

Here, at the hotel.

Definitely.
I'm sure we can arrange that.

You two, if anyone,
deserve a cracking wedding.

But not now that the hotel is having
some of its worst years ever.

-Maybe later.
-Of course. I understand.

Yeah. How do you think
the idea went down?

Julie's thoughts were pretty clear.

Yeah, she got it straight away.

Or what do you mean?

-I mean how she looks at you.
-I don't know...

Is there something
between you two again?

No.

No.

But something happened.

Julie kissed me.

Okay.

-What did you do?
-At first I didn't know what to do.

But then I backed away from her.

Hey...

I really like you.

If you still love her, then tell me.

I don't.

I don't.

If you can't just socialise,
maybe you should avoid each other.

Okay, I'll talk to her.

I've got some stuff to do now.

Hey, we're okay, aren't we?

Hey?

How are things
between you and Julie?

Why do you ask?

I don't want to pry,
but it was so sad that time

when you waited for her
while she was with...

She just got the time wrong.

And today. She won't listen
to your opinion on the yoga centre,

but as soon as Sebastian speaks,
he says all the right things.

That's really no big deal.

Come in.

Hello.

-I have some questions.
-Okay.

-Can I get you some coffee?
-Yes, please.

I saw your brother the other day.

Oh.

Was he aware of Jens'
threatening behaviour towards you?

I don't think so.

We're not that close.

-Okay.
-He's not...

We haven't spoken in years,
so I doubt he knew.

And what about Jens' family?
Did you ever meet them?

No, I never met them.

He was fostered, as you know. So...

And what about friends?
Who did he hang out with?

He had no friends.

I'm sure he did have friends
at some point,

but I never met any of them.

I was quite taken aback
when he received a postcard.

Hang on. What kind of postcard?

It was from an Oliver.
I suppose he...

Where is it?

I've got it. I'll show you.

It's here somewhere.

Here it is.

"Hi Jens." Oliver just wants to
remind him to check his letterbox.

But...

If you receive any more, you'll have
to let me know straight away.

Of course.

Caffè macchiato
with an extra shot of oat milk.

-Thanks.
-Sorry, I think that was mine.

-Yours is coming up.
-Oh, sorry.

Excuse me, don't I know you?

Maybe from an earlier life,
but not in this one, I think.

Okay.

-There we go.
-Thanks.

What do you want?

I have another job for you, Lukas.

You know
where the distribution box is?

If you cut the cables pay systems,
bookings, everything stops working.

Please, I can't...

When my team loses motivation I have
great people to get them motivated.

Do you need help
with your motivation?

No.

So snip, snip before tomorrow night.

Like I said,
we've got to the bottom of this

and are ready to reopen tomorrow.

Yes. You're welcome.

Bloody journalists.

What would you say if I told you I'd
booked 60 people in for tomorrow?

-60 people?
-Yes. The Art Society.

I convinced them to have their
annual meeting dinner at the hotel.

That's too many.
We haven't got enough time.

We can't do it.
If something goes wrong now, then...

Werner I have kept the hotel running
while you've been ill.

If you don't appreciate me,
I'm sure there are others who do.

Yes?

Hello.

Can't we just talk about it?

-Talk about what?
-Please, Aksel.

Tell me, Julie.
What do you want to talk about?

I felt like an idiot,
waiting for you.

But you got the time wrong.
I did come.

Wrong time? You couldn't care less
about our anniversary.

You only wanted to see Sebastian.

-But that was about the business.
-I see.

Do you know how you make me feel?

Like your security blanket,
my only role is to comfort you.

I'm sorry, but I...

WE NEED TO MEET.
LUNCH TOMORROW. OUR PLACE?

It's like he doesn't even notice me.

I actually
managed the hotel on my own.

Really well.

Maybe he needs some time
to find his feet again.

And work things out with you.

Is that somebody you know?

-Jakob?
-Vendela.

Hi.

This is my daughter, Lovisa.

-I see. Nice. We met at the...
-Coffee shop.

I won't keep you,
I was just going to...

I need to get back to work.
See you around.

-He's just an old friend.
-Oh.

Hi, darling.

We'll have some fine dining tonight.
Five stars. Extra special.

Right. I'm going out to eat.

Who with?

On my own.
I'm seeing a film as well.

Or I might just sit down on a bench
and stare at the tarmac.

It smells of burnt baby milk here.

Wait...

Oliver.

He must have had travel vaccinations
for Vietnam in the past six months.

Right. And the surname?

That's what I need to find out.
Surname and address.

I will look into this
and get back to you.

Thank you. Bye.

It is of utmost importance
that nothing goes wrong today.

We have a large party tonight and
we all know what that might involve.

Everything has to be perfect.

Okay?

Right. Let's do this.

You all heard Werner.

Come on. Nothing may go wrong.

-And when it gets busy he leaves.
-As usual.

-This can't be right.
-What?

There's no pork loin.
They've forgotten to order it.

Go and check the fridge.

No, it's meant to be here.

He's not ordered it.
Lilja, we have no meat.

It's fine. You'll come up with
something different.

-Maybe celeriac.
-What can we do with it?

-Slow roasted celeriac.
-Served with?

-Brown butter and hazelnut crunch.
-Sure. What else?

Fresh vegetables.

Right, let's do it.

Okay, everyone.
We have a new dish on the menu.

Slow roasted celeriac with
brown butter and hazelnut crunch.

Served with fresh vegetables.

You get the nuts and deal with them
and you start with the vegetables.

Oh, hello.

Are you stalking me, or what?

I thought I was discreet.

What a coincidence,
you being Vendela's daughter.

She told me you're a journalist.

-How do you know each other?
-Oh...

Since school.
We had this thing.

But that was a long time ago.

And you grew up with your dad,
I suppose.

-No, in a foster home.
-I see.

-Sorry, foster home?
-Yeah,

Vendela wasn't really
able to look after me.

I think her mum arranged that.
She was quite young.

And your dad?

I'm still waiting for Brad Pitt
to own up to being my dad.

I'm gonna get one of those caffè
macchiato with oat milk, you know.

I thought you were speaking
to the accountant all day.

Are you going somewhere?

An old girlfriend from school
got in touch.

We're having lunch.

Since when do you
go to lunch with school friends?

Since when do I have to tell you
everything I do?

See you later.

Why are you here?

Can we talk?

And then everything will be okay?

Or you don't really know.

You're quite happy
with the way things are.

Happy in your job as a bar tender.

No plans for a career
or to start your own business.

Whoops, now you're having a baby.
You're going to be a dad.

You have no ambitions.
Nothing that drives you.

-I...
-Yes, what do you want?

I want you.

Marianne, I...

Are you that desperate?

Can't you get anyone else?

It's been a long time
since we met here.

I sometimes think about
coming here on my own.

But that feels strange.

And this doesn't feel strange?

No. I mean...

I don't know.

Maybe that's what the problem is.

-What happened at your office...
-It was a mistake.

I've had so much on my mind.

It was really stupid.

Julie...

This is really difficult.

If you still have feelings for me,
maybe you should keep your distance.

Take a step back and let Rebecka
and Aksel manage the yoga centre.

Let's just forget it.

Julie?

Julie, come one.

Let's talk like grown-ups.

Grown-ups? Look at you,
dating a 17-year-old.

-Lovisa is 22.
-So you are dating?

And you work really well together?

Or was that why
you started working with her?

I don't feel like
you're listening to me.

You can't tell anyone.

I don't know. I might stay here.

Exactly. I want to find out
if two people are related.

Yes, I can post it tonight.

Alright, thanks.

What the hell is that?

We have no meat.

-Why didn't you say?
-I tried to.

And you just chuck that menu
out of the window?

How the hell does your brain work?

Do we continue,
or do we close the restaurant?

Is everything ready?
She's coming now.

Calm down.
Everything is under control.

So what am I doing here?

Ta-da! This is...

-Lollo.
-Yes.

She'll make sure that all
our dreams come true on our big day.

And if you don't like it,
we'll do something else.

-What are you on about?
-I have a list of stylists.

The best in town. On Wednesday
we can sample cakes.

You don't get it.

If you don't like this venue,
there's another, more central one.

Stop it!
I don't care about all this.

For the whole of my life
I've been second best.

For one day only,
I wanted to feel special.

But you chose work over me.

I'm not sure I'll be able
to forgive you for that.

And all the things you're doing now
only make matters worse.

We'll work out something else.
Back soon.

So how was your lunch?

Fine.

It was nice to see her.

-Where did you meet?
-Sorry?

-Where did you have lunch?
-Oh...

Some place in town. By the water.

And you were on time?

Were you on time? You didn't
keep your friend waiting?

What? Are you still on about
that thing with the restaurant?

"That thing with the restaurant..."
Seriously.

I'm off out. No need to wait up.

Oh. Lukas, what are you up to?

I'm just checking a room.

Could you help us
with the table service?

Hello?

-Sure, okay.
-Great, take this.

-Are you happy with everything?
-The vegetarian dish was amazing.

I'm pleased to hear that.

And I have to say that
I love the way you've redecorated.

Thank you.

-I wish you a pleasant evening.
-Thank you.

What a night.

You cooked something vegetarian?

Well, that was...

It was a success.

Can you believe it?

I thought we ought
to try something new.

To complement our traditional menu,
of course.

It's a balancing act,
but this time it paid off.

Cheers.

-Well done.
-Thank you.

There you go.
I'll put it on your tab.

Thank you.

Who were you talking to earlier?

It was my mum.

We don't have
a very good relationship.

I've promised myself
not to be like her.

You'll be the best mum.

How did it go with Marianne?

Oh. Feel.

Wow, such strong kicks.

A little Zlatan.

Or an Asllani.

-Are you still here?
-I am.

Would you like some company?

Sure, have a seat.

So what are we toasting?

A marriage built on lies.

Oh, Aksel...

You deserve better.

It's always the nice guys
who get trodden on.

You're clever,
successful, good looking.

If Julie can't see that then...

-Sorry.
-That's alright.

I'm just not used to
hearing compliments like that.

If you could do exactly
what you wanted with this place,

what would you do?

I'd try to find
some unique spa concept.

Something that
no one else had thought of.

Go big from the start.

Start nationally and then...

set my sights internationally.

What would you have done?

Thanks for helping out today.

I couldn't have done it without you.

-I'm going to have a shower.
-Okay.

What the hell?

Do you remember in Provence

when I promised we'd live off cheese
and wine for the rest of our lives?

I've been very bad at
fulfilling that promise.

If you think you can bribe me,
you're wrong.

I know. I would like to thank you.

The Art Society dinner
was a success.

Vendela, I'm sorry I haven't been
appreciative enough of you

and your efforts. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I haven't trusted you.

The hotel would have succumbed while
I was away if it wasn't for you.

I'm not trying to
justify my actions,

but while growing up I felt let down
by those I thought I could trust.

I know you're not like that,

but it's been ingrained in me.

I want to do this with you.

But I need a bit of help.

We'll have to find a way.

-Together.
-Sure.

Can you forgive me?

Is that Reblochon over there?

Oui, madame.

Well, in that case...

Not in Sweden. I just kept
speaking English until he left.

-Totally ridiculous.
-I know.

I think I'd better...

-Oh...
-Me too.

-My God.
-Oops.

Sorry.

Hello?
