DON'T FORGET YOUR MISSION!

Lukas!

We're watching you.

You're not listening.

Who were you talking to earlier?

It was my mum.

Here are the figures
for the project,

in case the reporter is interested.

We're done.

Lojsan, will you marry me?

Who's the father of your daughter?

Well, not you.

We're looking to see
if the two are related.

That's 100 percent certain?

There's something you should know.

They are in a relationship.

That's terrific.

See you then.

I'll tell him.

Bye.

Julie wants to meet at Mistral for
a run-through ahead of the PR event.

Maybe I can get inspiration
for my speech.

It doesn't seem right
for me to be in charge.

Can I see?

For a united Saltsjövik.

What does that mean?

I don't know.
It's the sort of thing you say.

Has this stuff with the article and
Werner made you change your mind?

No, on the contrary.

Perhaps I'm worried
about getting it right.

But me and marketing...

I need to prepare him for that.

I don't mean to put
more pressure on you, but Julie...

Is everything okay between you?

Yeah, sure.

I'll talk to her today.

THE BEACH HOTEL

I need to head into the office
a bit earlier.

I can come with you, I'm ready.

Sure.

That bloody alarm.

You go.
I need to go and turn it off.

Okay.

Is something the matter?

You seem a bit...

No, I'm just a bit tired.

Lots to do ahead of that PR event.

-See you at the office.
-Okay.

So what's the plan? For you
to become friends with Julie

and for her to give
her part of the hotel to you?

-Aksel.
-Aksel?

When we've got him on our side
Julie doesn't stand a chance.

She'll be totally wiped out
and will need to sell.

The Beach Hotel will never be able
to compete with the new yoga centre.

Especially not
after their little mishaps.

They are going to have to sell, too
and suddenly both hotel are ours.

How do you know that
Aksel will swap sides?

I just do.

I have never trusted plans where
human emotions are involved.

But I do think we can do something
with this PR trick,

the yoga centre and stuff.

Okay, so what do you suggest?

You turn the heat up
and force them to start afresh.

Hmm...

Olle has worked here for 20 years,
for him to make such grave errors...

The whole kitchen has verified it.

He's become lazy.

Slowly, but surely he's sinking
the entire restaurant.

-He needs to be replaced.
-We'll have to sort that out.

That journalist,
Hallberg, contacted me.

-What did he want?
-He's writing a book

about what's happened here.

Bloody hell. I'll give him one
chance to forget about that idea.

We need to focus on
finding a new head chef.

I won't accept the fact that he
brings Saltsjövik into disgrace.

Our history, my history.

He'll embellish it
in order to make money.

Oh, Mrs Jakobsson,
would you allow me?

Oh, Mr Jakobsson,
my beloved husband and gentleman.

-Hey...
-Yeah?

Should we really go to work
the day after our wedding?

Well, I took
the evening off yesterday.

Maybe we'll just turn up a bit late?

Okay...But then I need to
call and let them know.

Ah, you can almost smell
the love in the air.

-And toast.
-Yes.

Great stuff.

Are you staying in all day?

If you need help booking
a train home, I'm happy to help.

We talked about the fact
that the trains run every day.

I can book, it's easy.

But we have a whole week
to celebrate our wedding.

And we work at a hotel,
if you know what I mean.

I know exactly what you mean.

Don't put me off my food.

Happy now?

Are you sure you'll be okay?
You don't want to come along?

No, I really need to rest for a bit.

If you call, I'll be right over.

And you have a taxi number
if you need a quicker ride.

Can I get you anything before I go?
Juice, tea?

-Shall I make you a sandwich?
-Off you go, you'll be late.

Bye.

Hey, I'm sorry.

I feel like I've ruined something.

No, on the contrary.
I ought to thank you.

I've been living a lie.

Why did I not realise?
How stupid am I?

I saw them.

And she lied about meeting
some old school friend.

But of course she was
seeing Sebastian of all people.

Aksel, it's not your fault
that she went behind your back.

You only believed the best.

You are so good-hearted.

Julie used that.

I have no idea what to do.
Should I leave her? Should I stay?

Would Mistral survive
if you and Julie separated?

You've put so much work into this.

If you ask me,
I'd say play along with her.

When the hotel and the yoga centre
are up and running you leave her.

I don't know
if I can manage on my own.

You're not alone. You've got me.

Thanks.

Is it cold in the bathroom?

Have you become prudish?

I bumped into a cleaning trolley.

What the hell is going on?

You're lying to me,
you're hiding money,

you've got the largest bruises
I've ever seen.

I'm sorry.

We can't carry on like this, Lukas.

You need to talk to me.

...for me to have that bottle.

When it comes to my birthday,
he gets the date wrong. Absurd.

-Hello.
-Hi.

-Great timing.
-Welcome.

-Maybe we should talk.
-Okay.

I'm sorry,
I didn't mean what I said last time.

No, I'm sorry.
I don't know what got into me.

Do you think this will work,
us working together?

Yes, I think so.

-Are you sure?
-Yeah.

We can find other solutions.
No offence, ust to make it work.

I promise, we can do this.

Let's go inside.

I won't even
call the town Saltsjövik.

I've just taken my inspiration
from what's happened here.

So why do you need to
sniff around here then?

You're a writer,
so make something up.

Yes, but reality
often trumps fiction.

Well, that sounds like a lot more
than "taking inspiration".

Hallberg,
I struggle to remain pleasant

when I'm put under pressure.

Stop this, for your own sake.

With all due respect,
I intend to write this book.

We ought to show
the big changes we're making.

We are refreshing
Mistral and the town.

We have the courage
to invest in Saltsjövik.

The more we invest in Saltsjövik,
the more the town will invest in us.

Exactly.

I think it sounds a bit pompous.

I'm sorry, but
"investing in Saltsjövik"?

I mean a youth centre that would be
an investment, but a yoga centre?

We need to take care not to sound
like a bunch of out-of-touch snobs.

Is that what we are?
Out-of-touch snobs?

I don't think that's what he means.

-And you know what he means?
-We need to be careful, that's all.

What we're doing is great, but...

But come on.
Yoga, it's not even that original.

You don't like the idea?
Why are you saying that now?

-It's good to invest in something.
-We've all put in a lot of time.

I agree with Aksel.

We're not rescuing Saltsjövik with
this, but we might help some people.

I think you're right. That's how we
need to sell it, like Lovisa said.

We're offering
those who need it a break.

That's exactly what I meant.

I love it. It's personal, intimate
and speaks to the individual.

So that's the angle we're going for?

Yes.

Hand me the dosh.

This never happened, okay?

-Is Olle here?
-I think he's...

-Vendela!
-How are things?

Oh, excellent.

As always. Can I help you?

Werner and I have been talking.
We need to make changes.

Oh, well, I've always been
in favour of variety.

That dish you introduced
the other night, what was it?

Slow roasted celeriac?

I had to improvise,
but it was a success.

I'm more than happy to put
that dish on the menu, if you like.

So you improvised that dish,
entirely on your own?

I did.

The changes we had in mind
were that you're done here.

Thank you for your services.
You're fired.

You've obviously
not read my contract.

I know exactly
what your contract says.

You'll be paid for the duration,

but I don't
want to see you here anymore.

You'll stand in in the meantime.
Please improvise, it was a success.

We have a few spare rooms tomorrow.

Let's hope
we get some last minute bookings.

I know a couple
who could use one of the rooms.

-Ah...
-Some privacy.

We'd better book.
And we have a staff discount.

Staff discount.

Why not
save the dirty talk for tomorrow?

It's tricky to navigate this system.

The discount easily ends up too big.

Too big a discount?

That sounds tricky to handle.

No, it's just
straightforward percentages.

Which you are so good at.

-Olle called.
-I see.

He blamed various things.

He was ranting and raving and said
some unpleasant things about you.

He was quite forceful.

I explained that you and I had
reached this decision together

and told him
to go to hell and hung up.

If you want to help manage the hotel
you need to communicate better.

You need to share your thoughts.

But you were right in this.

-You saw something I didn't.
-Thanks.

That journalist
is a problem, though.

He won't give in.

But I will take care of him.

There will be some upset,
but not more than usual.

I'm having dinner
with Lovisa tonight.

-Will you be okay?
-No.

Of course.

Great.

You listen carefully.

Oscar would like to talk to you.

I'm through with him.

Lukas. What the hell?

Are you okay? Lukas?

-Hello.
-Hi.

I heard about the yoga centre.

Sebastian told me.

It's exciting.

It's a new experience
for us to work together.

Lovisa seem to be
good for Sebastian.

-Yes, it's nice, isn't it?
-Yes.

And you and Aksel?

Is everything fine between you two?

I'm sorry for prying, but I'm keen
to know that you're happy.

I haven't seen Martin
here for a while.

Is everything okay between you two?

We're taking it easy at the moment.

I'm sorry to hear.

It will be great.

I think it's amazing
what you're doing together.

Thank you.

I'm a bit worried about Sebastian.

Why is it so hard for him
and Werner to make peace?

It's a sensitive topic.

Sebastian had an agreement
with Egil Grip,

you know, Julie's dad.
Werner was really offended.

It doesn't help
that they won't talk.

-Hey...
-Yes?

Me and Sebastian...

we're together.

Since when?

Since we started our project.

Oh.

Is there something wrong with that?

No. No, not at all.

Sorry, it was simply
such a surprise.

No, it's lovely. Really.

I thought Sebastian
ought to tell Werner himself.

Of course.

But he'd better hurry. It's hard to
keep quiet about things like this.

Can't we do more of this?

Just hanging out,
chilling and taking it easy.

You have to leave Lukas alone.

-Shall I leave Lukas alone?
-He's through with you.

Not many people are brave enough
to speak to me like that.

I like it. Very familiar in tone.

I'm not your family.

-Okay.
-Don't touch Lukas again.

Maybe I overreacted.

I can forget the fact that he failed
to do his jobs and ignored me.

Then we can hang out more,
go for dinner,

go to the cinema
or celebrate some bloody festivity.

Don't touch him again.

What would have happened
had I not been there?

I'm so bloody stupid.

Enough is enough.

You have to go to the police.

It's the only thing
that will put an end to this.

Let's do it together.

Don't tell Mum.

We'll keep Sis out of this.

Just you and me, okay?

-Okay.
-Okay.

Hello.

Hi there.

-Did you have a nice time?
-Yes, it was interesting.

Okay.

There's something
I need to tell you.

Please, don't interrupt me,
but let me finish speaking.

Since Lovisa came back
to me I've been so...

so happy.

I got my daughter back.

It's a miracle.

Of course I knew there were things
I had to deal with.

I wanted to enjoy having her around.

But I can no longer put it off.

I have to tell you who her dad is.

It was so long ago,
only a quick fling

and I never thought
he would come back into my life.

Until he walked
into the hotel one day.

I didn't know how to handle it.
It was too much.

Then he contacted you.

Vendela, who are you talking about?

Jakob.

Hallberg? The journalist?

Is he Lovisa's dad?

Why didn't you say anything?

I didn't know how to.
It's nothing you just...

I get the impression Werner
will put up some resistance.

I wonder if he's got
something to hide.

Who knows? You might find something
that solves the whole case.

If I solve it first
you owe me one hundred kronor.

Okay, I'm in.

I've got to go.

I'll call you this evening.

I'm sorry.
I should have called you before.

I'm going to get
straight to the point.

I'm sorry for being so direct,
but I've been awake all night,

so I'm just going to
tell you straight out.

You are Lovisa's dad.

No, I'm not.

I'm sorry? Don't you think
I know who Lovisa's dad is?

What the hell are you suggesting?

Do you want to avoid responsibility?
Well, she's an adult.

You don't need to drive her
to school or do her shoelaces.

That's not what I meant. Vendela?

SALTSJÖVIK BEACH HOTEL

Good morning.
I'd like to check in, please.

What are you doing?

Just go along with it.

You'll find my booking under the
romantic name of Louise Jakobsson,

staff discount of 15 percent.

That's right.

You'll be staying in room 207.

Mmm. 207...

I've always found that
such a sensual number.

Just let me know,
should you require anything else.

I will need somebody to help me
find my way around the sheets.

If you get my gist.

Toodeloo!

RAPID DNA
NO MATCH

-Werner.
-I talked to Vendela about you.

Why are you here, really?

For my book.

The rest has turned out
to be complicated.

Complicated?
What the hell are you up to?

It's not what you think.

What do I think?

That this is all for your book?

You're using people.

The more drama, the better.

-Listen, I only...
-You listen.

Stay away from my wife,
her daughter and Saltsjövik.

Otherwise you'll regret it.

I mean it.

Lukas, what's on your mind?

If you've done something bad,

how does witness protection work?

Why don't you tell us
what this is about?

I think Oscar Wallentin
m*rder*d Jens.

-Isn't Elin working today?
-No...

She's been unwell
and stayed at home.

Martin...

I checked the sales in the bar
and the cash in the till...

It doesn't add up.

What do you mean?

Money has gone missing.

How come, do you think?

I can double check
the receipts again.

Elin might have made a mistake.

Great.

Would you keep an eye on the bar
for a minute?

Sure.

Hello there.

Nice with some eye candy in the bar.

I'm Susanne.
What's your name?

Come on!

So my name is Susanne.

What's your name?

Martin.

Greg.

Greg...

I'm here for a conference.

Or that's what
my husband thinks anyway.

Oh, I see.

So...

Could I offer you a drink?

Oh, yes please. How about a...

Sex on the beach?

Please deliver it to my room.

Personally.

I need to work with people
who know this place

and have been there
from the beginning.

People who understand the soul
of this place and what we value.

There's a girl in the kitchen
whose passion, ambition and talent

rescued a dinner for 60 guests.

If you're going to pitch your hotel
to me, I'll be leaving now.

I asked you here, because I think
I have a solution to our problem.

You can be our new head chef.

Are you offering me a job?

I'm offering you an opportunity
to repay your debt.

I know you're good, Marianne.

But there are many good chefs
out there.

I'm offering you a chance,
but only this once.

Head chef?

Yes, please.

Great.

-Hi, girls.
-Hello.

What you did earlier...

That was incredible.

We've looked for a new head chef.

There's one
we're particularly keen on.

Konrad Ekstedt, do you know him?

-Seriously?
-Who is that?

-Lilja, he's a legend.
-Oh, sorry.

-I'll try to contact him. See you.
-Bye.

-A legend?
-Yes!

Let's see. These are pictures
from when Lovisa lived with us.

Turn the page.

There she is.

That's not Lovisa.

That's Cecilia.

-Real trouble she was.
-Oh, yeah.

She was very difficult indeed.

That's Lovisa.

A wonderful child.

Hello.

Hi.

Mum told me
she'll be working at the hotel.

Thanks for having her on board.

Sure...

That news piece got
completely the wrong angle.

I didn't know they would
write like that. I was tricked.

I'd never do anything
to damage the hotel.

But you collaborate with Mistral.

Please, can we move on from that?

We wanted to start something fresh,
our own thing.

Doing it with Mistral
meant half the investment.

You would never have agreed
to do it at The Beach Hotel.

Who knows, maybe it's
just what we need right now.

You'll have to start your own thing
then and k*ll the competition.

Well...

So...

There's something
I want to tell you.

-Yeah?
-Ehm...

It's about Lovisa.

While working on the yoga centre

we became close.

And...

we are...

we're together.

-You and Lovisa?
-Yes.

Is that a good idea?

She makes me happy.

If it's not Julie Grip you're after,
it's my wife's daughter.

I love her.

Sebastian...

I'm a bit tired.
It's been a long day.

Let's talk about this tomorrow.

For Saltsjövik's police station
call 555 2368.

Alternatively leave a message.

It's me. I've found something out.

We have to talk.
Call me as soon as possible.

You can see for yourself.

The cash payments don't add up.
There's money missing.

I don't understand.

We lock the till every night,
this can't be right.

Do you always do it?

Of course, it's always...

I don't understand.

Perfect.

Cecilia!

Jakob, hi.

I think we need to have a chat.

About what?

I met your foster parents.

I haven't seen them in ages.
Are they well?

So...

what's your game?

It's not a game.

It's all quite funny actually.

Shall we take a walk?

Then I can try to
explain everything.

You'll understand.
It's all really silly.

-Please tell me what's the matter.
-Nothing.

Is it still about our anniversary?

I thought that was in the past.

Do you love me?

-Of course I do.
-No, Julie. Do you love me?

Do you?

What do you mean?

Look me in the eye
and say you love me

and want to spend your life with me.

Yes, I do love you.

We're married, so...
You're behaving really strangely.

It's the alarm again.

I have to go.
Do you want to talk in the car?

No, that's okay.
I'll do the washing up.

Hello?

Hello?

Open up!

Hello? Help!

Help! Help!
