03x08 - The Future of Norway

[bunniefuu]

MISSING!
Have you seen her?

–Hi, Grandma.
–Hi.

Are you not going to have breakfast?
Wait a little. Here...

–Well. You *must* eat.
–Thanks.

Dear God. I do not ask for forgiveness.

I ask for...

...an apology?

I have lived in sin.
Let desire rule me. I have...

...let the flesh take precedence
over my love for You.

I told Tobias that we cannot meet
anymore. His faith is not strong enough.

But it is mine. My faith is strong enough.
I am strong enough.

I will make amends for this.

**MISSING**
Have you seen her?

**HAPPYLAND**

–Remember the meeting at 16:00.
–Of course.

Remote control test, Component-Ullrigg.

–Everything is ready at Ullrigg.
–I’m testing.

I’m losing the connection.
*Ullrigg*, now...

Wait a second.

Try again.

We’re back.

We’re back!

—There’s a lot to do before
Friday. —We’ll manage. We’re back.

—How’s this going? —You’re
probably on maintenance today.

I’ve set up a board
tracking everyone’s tasks.

It’ll be easier for me to log.

–When did it become your area
of responsibility? –Wait a minute...

–Right. What did you say?
–Have you taken my job?

No, they asked me to
create a new system— –and

submit the schedules. The
machines run on their own now.

You're the drilling foreman
but you're spared the paperwork.

–Where is my workplace now?
–You must have meetings to attend?

You. I built the moonrack.

You worked at Component for a
while, that’s not the same thing, is it?

Sture Movik could never
have built it without me.

You wouldn’t have been
able to run the mill without me.

What you see out there isn’t
theory. It’s iron, steel, insane pressure!

You’re not losing your job,
Rein. We need the overalls.

How many overalls?

Employment isn’t my responsibility.
I just report to management.

How many will lose their jobs?
How many will be laid off?

Start by changing the on and off times. Then
people will have more time for their families.

"—Talk to them, so they’re prepared.”
"—Me?”

It’s you who hired them.

“I don’t like it either.”
“You’re probably sitting just fine.”

We can’t have people
here who aren’t working.

I get so sick of it!

The little shits think they know everything
because they took an economics course.

And that bunch
you can’t get that cheap from me!

**VOTE FOR THE FREMSKRITTSPARTY**

It’s gone beyond all expectations,
but we’re nervous about Friday’s test.

–There’s a lot that can go
wrong. –Like what, then?

The transmission of signals
from the control to the rig.

It’s many kilometers from
Ullrigg to Components’ office.

–So you’re building fall height?
–Yes.

Hey, Rein. We’re almost done.

Can you take Johnny to soccer
today? I have to work overtime.

Yes, of course.

There’s coffee on the counter.

Here’s the translation: I couldn’t
have done it without my brother.

How is it to be a woman and
a business leader with kids?

It’s of course challenging—

but it’s not harder to be a
boss just because I’m a woman.

Hey.

—I brought a suit.
—What?

Things people leave
behind, we have to take.

—Do you want me to wear the suit?
—What?

Why are you asking that?

Maybe because you like
that I’m the drilling supervisor.

I heard they’re firing people
out on the North Sea. Is that true?

After everything you’ve done.

Rein, you *have* to come to the next
meeting and explain what’s going on.

You don’t have to join the Progress Party.

We’re fighting for you.

—I’m still the drilling
supervisor. —Yes. But still.

The whole line of thought is wrong.
Where I come from, people work.

They don’t sit on their asses all
day, pressing buttons and getting fat.

That’s what’s going to happen.
Everyone in this country will get fat.

Anna wouldn’t like
that I joined your party.

My family didn’t speak to me
for a year.

Now they’ve realized we have a point.

Maybe I should see them.

My family? Do you want that?

Do you?

Yes.

—Shouldn’t you be working today? —I
got the day off. I’m completely useless.

Are you having fun? So great.

Hi.

She’s not even a cat!

—I’m going up and talking to her.
—No!

—Should I have let them stay
up? —She shouldn’t be alone.

I’ve called the hospitals and the
police. We have to believe she’s safe.

We don’t know if she’s alive. She doesn’t
have control over how much she drinks...

I suggest we light a candle and
pray that Toril comes back to us.

It’ll work out.

—Marius!
—Let mom handle it.

How will she even get home
now? Everyone will laugh at her.

–Marie, are you listening?
–This isn’t Marie’s fault.

–See? –It’s Toril’s fault.

Sorry.

–Has anyone at Rockokko
seen her? –No, no one.

–Would you like to
read to me? –Of course.

She left because I started working there.

–I can’t find the candlesticks...
–It doesn’t matter, Randi.

She’s been here.

Take Marius to Rockokko
and see what you can find out.

Fredrik...

–What do you want to
hear? –Sleeping Beauty.

Or Snow White?

*"It was the middle of winter,*
*and the snowflakes fell like down."*

*"A queen sat and sewed."*

*"The windowsill
was of black ebony."*

*"Suddenly, she
pricked her finger."*

*"And three drops of
blood fell into the snow."*

She saw how beautifully the
red color shone in the white.

"Oh, if I had a daughter,
so red as blood,

so white as snow"—— and
with hair as black as ebony."

—Hey.
—You *have* to knock!

—When I come out of the
bedroom? —I was scared.

—Get me another one. —Aren’t
you supposed to be working?

Don’t you live in my house?

Marius is asking for you.

Didn’t you tell me where I
am? I just need a little break.

I get it. Families are sh*t.

Take it from me.

I’m not really in the
mood. I *have* to work.

Take it easy now.

**MISSING**
Have you seen her?

I can’t take it anymore. Can’t...

take it...
Mr. Nyman?

I just need to borrow your man for a bit.

...poison control clinic, as
soon as she can be moved there.

Thanks.

How is she?

I'm so angry at her!

Now you'll get help, then it will
surely work out. Greetings from me.

Tobias.

–Thanks.
–Good luck.

Okay, then we're ready for the test.

–Ullrigg, are we ready for the test?
–Yes, everything is ready at Ullrigg.

Keep some distance, the
machines are starting to move.

The command bridge in the Components
facilities is several kilometers from Ullrigg.

The operation is controlled
via an ISDN cable.

The automation of the deck in
the North Sea is now complete.

–Uncle Rein!
–Hey!

Hey, you look so nice.

I'm so relieved. It went just great.

Yes. So great.

–What's that?
–A button.

–Can we get one too?
–Sure, of course. Hop in.

One for you...

–Give it to me!
–Why?

And one for... you. There’s
something there for you too.

–What are you up to? –No one
cares about us. Not even the union.

It’s just a transition, and
they can be troublesome.

I know what you’re going to say,

that this improves safety— –and it’s a
shame people lose their jobs bla bla bla.

The solution isn’t more oil.
It would wreck the economy.

If Norway keeps drilling for oil,
Norway keeps making money.

And the state avoids paying millions to
capable workers who built the industry.

–That’s simple math! –Oil is
a natural resource. One day...

Here’s your translation: --- We’re on the brink of
the Dutch disease, and now everyone has to slow down.

How much are you and Sture taking
out in bonuses? A million? Two? Three?

*—Rein, we’ve invested...*
*—Listen now! You, Anna...

* You’ve always said that the oil
belongs to the whole Norwegian people.

How can you take out so
much from your own company?

My job now is to fire people.
How can I vote for that?

Can you drop me off at Komponent?

Welcome to Komponent,
Anna Hellevik...

Is that you? Why are you
sitting...? You just disappeared.

You know that oil fund
I talked about?

That oil should promote
new economic activity.

The idea was that more
people would get jobs.

But the workers lose
their jobs, and we get rich.

–Should we be ashamed of making money?
–Proud to contribute to the class society?

We’ll leave that for later. It would
be nice if you came back down again.

Hello, this is Anna Hellevik,
from Komponent in Stavanger.

I’m calling about the
economic service, in the oil fund.

Sorry.

–Can’t we go home first? –You
should have come here directly.

Marie and Marius can visit
when you’re feeling better.

I have to stick to the plan.
Are we agreed?

Yes.

I regret it so much.

Yes, I’m here with Toril Torstensen.

–Bye then.
–I’ll follow in.

–No. It’s my problem. –They
probably want the family to be there.

You’re a skipper, Christian.
I’ve already ruined enough.

Hello, Toril. My name’s Hanna.
Welcome.

–Thanks to you.
–Thanks.

She’s going to be here for a few months
but might get visitors after the delivery.

Right now, she wants to do this alone.

Toril is tough. She’ll handle this.

How could it all go so wrong?

Sometimes things go
wrong, and then you fix them.

I’ll be fully committed to
the family from now on.

I’ve cut all contact with
Tobias. This is my fault.

–If I’d been here, it would never...
–Stupid. No one could have stopped her.

Marius! I know you took the job at
Rockokko to keep an eye on Toril.

–If you want to work at the shipping
company... –No, I’m happy at Rockokko.

–Well, that’s a good
idea... –I don’t think so.

We have to move away from the
guilt question and focus on solutions.

What are we doing now? How can
Christian lead the shipping company?

Marie shouldn’t be alone at home, and Marius
must be allowed to make his own choices.

—What can we do as a
family? —I’ll be here all the time...

Stop it. Tobias fits into the family.
This is just a game for the gallery.

—I don’t play. I’m ashamed!
—For whom? God?

Tobias found her.
Doesn’t that mean more?

I can cook dinner for you sometimes.
And breakfast. I’m not busy.

—That’s a good plan. Then it’s
the shipping company. —But...

Who will take care of Mom?

They take care of her. It’ll work out.

—Hello? —I’m looking for
Toril Torstensen... Nyman.

–She’s not feeling well right now.
–That’s fine. Tell her to come out.

–Can you come tomorrow?
–No, I’m here now.

–Are you sure you can handle this?
–Yes...

Yes...

For three generations, the skipper
here has been named Nyman.

It was clear I wouldn’t take
over, but that’s how it happened.

You’ve welcomed me into the
company, and I’m grateful for that.

Yet today I’ve called you here—

because it’s time to hand over the helm
to an external CEO.

Nyman Shipping needs a skipper.

The Nyman family, my part of the

family—my wife, Marie, Marius...

They need me. That’s
why I’ve decided to resign.

–You should have done the same,
Fredrik. –That would never have happened.

Maybe. She was good.
Campari with orange juice.

And the worst? I never
thought he would manage it.

We have a better result
this quarter than in the three...

Cheers, my son.

–Cheers.
–Cheers.

–Cheers, everyone.
–Cheers.

Hellevik Kay?

As stated, the position is paid
according to the state’s salary scale.

We were looking for someone
with experience from the agency.

You have excellent qualifications.
But what I wonder is why?

You run a company
with million-dollar profits.

–It’s about Norway’s future.
–You want to be part of shaping it?

I’m one of the few
who understand the oil economy well enough—

to be involved in
making such sweeping decisions.

–How do you see Norway’s future?
–A fairer society. For everyone.

The oil economy is unpredictable.
You know the industry from the inside.

But what if you realize that this would
complicate things for companies like yours?

I doubt the oil fund law
can fix that.

The oil fund is meant to manage
profits, not regulate the industry.

–That’s correct.
–Unfortunately?

What’s interesting is what you think.

My brother was one of
the first in the North Sea.

He became a drilling
supervisor before he was 30.

He still is, but all he
does is lay people off.

It’s a paradox that workers must be
fired—–to save Norway from economic collapse,

but that’s how it’s turned out.

Here’s the translation:
--- I’ve read your report.

If I understand you correctly,

you want to allocate the profits to a
fund—managed by the Finance Department.

The politicians will decide
how the profit should be used.

That’s correct.

How should you phrase it
to get the Storting on board?

—Do you have a suggestion?
—Yes.

Come in.

Hi.

Well, it’s like this...

Yes?

Do you remember the oil fund
that Per-Gunnar talked about?

They still need an economist.

Granted.

Your application for leave
of absence is granted.

Is it really that easy
to get by without me?

We’ll lose a few million,
but... I don’t want you to quit.

And no matter how stupid
it is, you’re going to do it.

It’s important that you do something
that means something to you.

–Thanks.
–Well, what’s the plan?

Moving responsibility for the
profits to the finance department.

–But where do you plan to live?
–I haven’t thought about that.

It won’t be long. I can stay at a hotel.

I’ve bought an apartment on Parkveien.

–We could open an office in Oslo.
–Maybe.

Dear Tobias...

Dear Mom...

I’m so happy
that the two of you have met.

And I must...

I must admit that I never
thought, Mom, that...

...you’d find love again.

And...

I don’t care about the long speech.

It’s good to get another chance.

Cheers to that.

–Cheers.
–Cheers.

–Cheers.
–Cheers.

Thanks, Toril.

Dance with us!

I can ask them to expand the
permission. So you can stay until tomorrow.

Have breakfast with us.

We stick to the plan.

–30...
–Hey.

–Wait a sec. 40, 50, 60, 70,


–I collect bottles for deposit.
Soon I’ll have enough. –For what?

At first, I thought life jackets.

But if I buy them in
the store it’s not worth it.

–Do you need a new
life jacket? –No. Sit down.

Yeah...

–I want to sell at the sailing club.
–Oh?

I was thinking a soda machine.
Everyone wants cold soda after sailing.

Have you thought about buying a
soda machine and putting it there?

–Do you know how much
that costs? –Yes, I can afford it.

And once I have a machine
the soda will be cheaper.

Here’s the translation: I’ll have
to buy it from the wholesaler.

The profit depends on how much people
buy. But everyone wants soda, after all.

Yeah. They do, don’t they.

I have a budget.

Here’s the price for the vending machine,
and here’s the price for the bottles.

I probably make quite a bit.

–What do you need the
money for? –It’d be nice.

Should we go over the budget?

Yeah... It looks good.

The electricity, then?
The soda has to be cold.

–There’s a connection at the
clubhouse. –Can you use it?

–Can they say no?
–Yeah.

–You could talk to them. –But I
didn’t include that in the budget.

But... it’s not certain
that they’ll want to pay.

Maybe they think a soda vending machine
could attract more to the sailing club.

–That’s good for them. –I believe
so. Everyone wants soda, after all.

Can we go and talk to them now?

Tomorrow morning, just before.
It’s a wedding. Mom is home.

We must think of the family, after all.

I also did business when you were my
age. I sold slang bells from Madagascar.

Nyman sailed there. Dad knew nothing.

–Did it go well?
–Yes, quite well.

–A lot of work, but I enjoyed
it. –Yes, that’s exciting.

You might be able to expand later.

Yes, I want to make
*huvtröjor* for the sailing club.

That’s probably not a bad idea.

–Yes, I like boats.
–Me too.

Do you have your presentation?
Then you go and knock.

Hello. My name is Marie Nyman.

You can let them in.

The Foundation's purpose is to convert a
non-renewable resource into an eternal one.
