Well then

-I'm going for a swim.

-Okay.

-What is it?

-It's just that

I heard that you lodged

a complaint against us.

And I wanted to know

why you didn't tell me first.

Because I don't need

my boyfriend's permission

if I've been harassed.

Calling it harassment

Isn't that an exaggeration?

No, I don't think so.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have done it.

It's really unpleasant to have you

tell me what did and didn't happen.

I'm not.

But you are.

Carla, that complaint

can be quite serious.

I need a place where I can relax.

I can't when you're accusing me.

I thought we agreed we weren't

going to talk about work at home.

-We have.

-Great.

Weren't you going for a swim?

Sure.

CALL ME DAD

-Hi.

-Hi. Nice to see you again.

You too.

-What are you looking at?

-I lost my shoe. Well done, right?

-That's not a problem.

-It's just a dead thing.

-So

-No, I'll fix it.

-Are you okay?

-Give me a second.

-You don't have to do it.

-No, it's fine. I want to.

Damn it!

-Are you sure you're okay?

-Yes. Thanks.

I don't understand why

people are still littering.

-It really puzzles me.

-It's crazy.

There's just so much garbage

around Vandvid.

-A cup of tea?

-Yes, please.

-Vandvid? The restaurant?

-Yes.

-Do you work there?

-Yes, I'm a chef.

-That's amazing.

-Yeah?

I'm a huge fan.

You're 100 % carbon-neutral,

plant-based, organic and

-I love it!

-Okay.

I'm trying to implement it

in my own catering firm.

Your catering firm.

Are you a chef too?

Hey! Are you okay?

Yes, I'm a chef too.

You must come

and see the restaurant.

-I'd love to. Can I?

-Yes.

Yes, of course.

I'll give you the guided tour.

-Okay I'd love to.

-Cool.

You have to see the deck.

It's an amazing concept.

There's a great atmosphere and

Hold on a second.

I have a meeting. Sorry.

Thanks for the tea and your help.

-It was great.

-Yes, it was great.

And I hope you find your shoe.

-Take care.

-I will.

-See you. Bye.

-Take care. Bye.

-Emil!

-Hi.

-Goddammit.

-Sorry.

-Where the hell have you been?

-What?

-I went for a swim.

-A swim.

-Yes.

-What are you dressed as?

-You can't look like that.

-You look nice.

Yes, I borrowed a tie from my dad.

We're having a meeting

about the business.

-Sure.

-We need to make a good impression.

-I'll talk.

-Yes.

You're sweating like a pig. Come on!

-Hi. Viktor.

-Stine.

-Hi.

-Sorry we're late. Hi.

We're glad you could come.

It's a serious accusation.

Yes, but we're glad to be here.

Not glad, but it's good to be here,

so we can get on top of this.

That's the thing.

We need to ensure a pleasant

working environment for all.

-That's why we're here today.

-Yes.

I'll start by reading

Carla's testimony.

"During my whole shift, I was talked

to in a degrading and sexist way.

The other female employee

was also exposed to sexual looks

and touches.

It culminated when co-owner

Viktor Frederiksen

threatened me with

a kitchen utensil."

They were salad servers.

You will get your say when I've

finished reading Carla's testimony.

"The other co-owner,

Emil Bøgh, enters the kitchen

and starts shouting

that I'm abnormal

and need to pull myself together.

I have a personal relationship

with Bøgh who knows

that I've been experiencing

mental problems most of my life.

In fear of my life,

I hastily leave the kitchen.

In a threatening tone of voice,

Emil Bøgh tries to force me

back to the kitchen

to continue my shift.

Since that day

I've had symptoms of PTSD."

Right. Do you have anything to add?

-Yes.

-Yes, we'd love to.

We do.

Carla is a very sensitive person.

Therefore,

her testimony can seem at bit

-Dramatic.

-Yes.

Emil, do you have anything to add?

Yes.

Carla is a very sensitive person

who sometimes tends to exaggerate.

She does this at home

and in the workplace.

I'm going to interrupt you.

"At home"? Do you live together?

Yes. At the moment we do,

because Carla

doesn't have a place to live.

So I offered that

she could stay with me.

Do you think it poses a problem

now that she's lodged

a complaint against you?

Absolutely. It's a huge problem,

and one I take very seriously.

We've agreed not to

talk about work at home.

-That way, we can

-Well done, Emil. Really well done!

What a great idea.

How long has she lived with you?

-Since Absalon.

-When you were meant to fire her?

She told me

that she'd been evicted.

-Is she there right now?

-She was evicted

-Is Carla in your flat right now?

-Yes, where else would she be?

-Excuse me! Hello?

-You're so weak!

-Hey! Hey! No!

-You're weak. That's your problem.

-That's your problem.

-Have you finished?

-Yes.

-Let's finish for today.

-The meeting?

-We have what we need. Right, Jan?

Yes, we're finished.

-Remember your towel.

-Yes.

-Thanks.

-Great.

-Thank you for the opportunity.

-Bye, bye.

That's the most humiliating

experience ever.

You could have told me.

I was a laughing stock.

How do we pay her compensation?

I don't have the money.

It's not going to happen.

I'll talk to Carla.

She'll see that it's just

a huge a misunderstanding.

And she'll withdraw her accusations.

Okay?

Which starter did he order?

Oh yes. He wanted

They ordered foie gras.

-Foie gras?

-Yes, foie gras.

It goes against everything

this company stands for.

We can't serve them foie gras!

What will that make us?

You went in your swimsuit

and flip-flops.

Can't we make something else?

I don't think you really

want this as much as I do.

-Do you want this company to work?

-Yes.

Of course I do.

Here's the Tuesday special,

meatballs.

And you wanted pork crackling?

Yes, please.

-See you soon.

-Yes, bye.

-Have a lovely day.

-You too.

-Next!

-Hi.

Hi. What would you like?

Some foie gras, please.

We have both Spanish and French

varieties. Which one do you prefer?

-I don't know.

-No.

Why don't you taste them?

No thanks. I'm a vegetarian.

Thank you.

But thanks.

Do you know if any of the geese

haven't been force-fed?

-No, I don't.

-No?

Are you able to find out?

-Of course. Just a moment.

-Okay.

Great.

Hi. Enjoy your food.

Sorry. I called,

but none of the geese picked up.

So let's go with the French.

-Huh?

-That's not very funny.

How would you feel if someone forced

a 30 cm long pipe down your throat

and force-fed you three times a day,

until your liver almost exploded?

Not very funny, right?

Think about that before you

joke about it. It's not funny.

I've had great success

with my baked celery.

If you bake it long enough,

you almost get umami flavour.

A very versatile vegetable, I'd say.

Come through.

He doesn't know any better.

If I explain how the geese

are force-fed,

he'll understand.

It was his wife's dying wish, Emil.

Are you out of your mind?

What?

-Do it. I'm not getting involved.

-I will.

-Great.

-I'll handle it.

-Hello.

-How are we doing here?

We're doing fine. We're almost done.

Hello. My name is Emil.

I'd like to express my sympathy.

-Martin.

-I'm Viktor.

I'd also like to

express my sympathy.

-Do you?

-Yes.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, damn it!

-I'm sorry, guys.

-Don't worry about it.

It's just because I constantly

think about my Sussie.

She decided

the menu for the funeral.

-Yes, it looks

-She loved foie gras.

Right. Okay.

To her, there was nothing

better than foie gras.

I can't grasp it.

We were together for 48 years.

That's a long time.

The greatest feeling in the world

is when you finally find the one

that you want to share

the rest of your life with.

Right.

Just give me a second.

Give me a second.

Right Should the three of us

taste the foie gras?

-Emil wants to say something.

-Yes.

Yes, I do.

Martin, there's something

I need to tell you.

Right.

I don't know if you know

how foie gras is produced?

Not in detail.

A pound of the foie gras.

Yes, take a deep breath.

Have you noticed a smell of cloves?

-I don't think so. No.

-No.

Take a deep breath.

Have you experienced more bleeding?

-No, not at all.

-How about your stools?

Have they been bloody?

No, I don't think so.

"Think"?

"Think"?

Didn't you examine your stools?

No, was I meant to?

Yes. You can find the answer

to everything in your stools.

Personally, I use skewers.

For barbecuing.

In my bathroom.

I dig around to see if there's

blood or other irregularities.

Yes.

-I'll get one of those.

-Great. Put your shirt back on.

Do you have any idea what

could be wrong with my nose?

I had a patient

who had trouble swallowing.

His oesophagus felt hairy.

One day I noticed he had these

brown blotches on his lower legs.

It had become gangrenous. Yes.

And two weeks later

his leg was amputated.

I don't quite understand what?

He was so focused on his oesophagus

that he didn't notice

the problem with the leg.

So there might be something else

wrong with me than just my nose?

It's hard to say right now,

so we need to do some more tests.

Okay.

-Hi, sweetie.

-Hi.

Hi.

What's up? Why are you so happy?

Because something great happened.

-What's that?

-The trade union just called.

Okay.

I'll be getting 20,000-30,000

in compensation.

Yes, but that money

will come from Viktor and me.

Why are you being like that?

I finally have something to be

happy about, and you're sulking.

I can see how it's good for you,

but

It's not true that we have

a sexualised working environment!

I've been looking forward to

telling you all day,

and you're just being negative.

I thought we were going to celebrate

and go out for dinner and have fun.

But you're being such a killjoy.

And I can't deal with that.

I would love to go out for dinner.

Really

I would love to.

Come here.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Please take a shower before we go.

You smell weird.

Do I smell of cloves?

-I don't know, but it's disgusting.

-Right.

-Hi.

-Hi. What can I do for you?

I'm thinking a sweet white wine.

I don't like it when it's acidy.

-A Riesling?

-Yes.

Two glasses of Riesling and

a table for two, if you have one.

-I'll check if any tables are free.

-Thanks.

You have something in your hair.

That's Helle. And Viktor.

They're kissing.

-What's going on?

-They're together.

-What?

-Viktor and my mum are a couple.

-Why didn't you tell me?

-I tried, but

-No, no, no

-Carla, stop.

-Let's find another restaurant.

-No, I want to say hi.

-Carla? Carla, please No, Carla.

-Hi.

Hi. Hello! Hi, guys!

-Hi, Carla. Carla and Tubby!

-Hi.

-How lovely.

-Come and sit down.

-Come and sit down.

-Is that okay?

-We're actually just

-Stop it, Viktor. Sit down.

-This is fantastic.

-Why didn't you tell her, Tubby?

-Yes, why not?

-Told her what?

-That we're a couple.

-Yes, well I've been busy.

-Cheers.

-To a strange little family.

-Which might get bigger.

-Sweetie.

-Are you pregnant, Helle?

-Not at all.

-No, not at all.

-Then what?

I don't know what you use.

We use a diaphragm,

and we've decided to

leave it on the radiator

-and give it a shot.

-Far out.

I didn't know

Can you get pregnant at your age?

We've both been examined

by the doctor.

-Okay.

-There's a chance it might happen.

Then you'll be a big brother,

sweetie.

You'll be the best brother.

I feel more and more ready

to become a mother.

-I can feel it.

-Beautiful. Follow that feeling.

We could become pregnant

at the same time!

-That would be amazing!

-Going out with the pram

I need a wee.

I'll join you, Helle.

I need to tell you something.

I might be coming into

a lot of money.

Did you speak to Carla?

Did she withdraw her complaint?

Yes, I have. Yes!

-Really?

-Yes.

It's all under control.

-Hi.

-Hi, sweetie.

-I threw out my contraceptive pills.

-What?

I threw out my contraceptive pills.

How exciting!

I've been thinking about it a lot.

I think I'd be a fantastic mum.

Of course you can. Ouch!

-Don't you think so?

-Huh?

-That I'd be a good mum.

-Yes, absolutely.

Then what's the problem?

It's just that I don't know if I'm

quite ready to become a dad.

Of course you are. You'd make

a fantastic dad. I'm sure of it.

Thanks.

Right

-Do you want to play with Bunny?

-No, we're making a baby.

-Right?

-Sure.

But maybe we should

talk about it first.

If you don't want to have a child

with me, please just tell me now.

I'd love to have a child with you,

Carla.

I would love to. But I

I just don't know if

we should do it now

I can't cope! You don't love me.

Hi.

-Hi.

-What are you doing here?

I brought I found your shoe.

I went for a swim this morning

and more or less collided with it.

Okay, thanks.

But it's not mine.

-It isn't? Are you sure?

-Yes.

-But it's a nice shoe. Thanks.

-You're very welcome.

-Well

-Want to come inside?

Aren't you preparing for service?

We have lots of time.

You can see the kitchen if you want.

I'd love to.
