03x02 - Daddy issues

Post by bunniefuu »

-Would you like some coffee?
-Yes, please. How nice.

-The place looks great.
-Thanks.

-Did you have to renovate a lot?
-No, I've just painted a little.

I miss the old house, of course.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ole Johan mentioned that the two
of you could use some distance.

It's not exactly normal to live
with a 46-year-old daughter.

I'm not 46 until 21 January.

The same day as Sigrid
and the princess,

so if they're flying the flags,
you should call Sigrid.

I won't forget Sigrid's birthday.
That was just the one time.

You're well-informed.
Have you talked to Dad?

-Yeah, he invited me to lunch.
-You had lunch together?

-You invited him to lunch?
-This is nice.

He felt bad
because of the settlement.

I don't follow you. What settlement?

The house sale. Look at this!
It's you and me.

I did a lot of work for you,
you know,

when you and the girls
moved in with OJ,

so he suggested that I get
a part of your cut from the sale.

How nice of you to decide on that
without informing me,

so I just get an invoice
in the face.

Don't forget that I was supposed
to live on a book sale

that I cancelled because of you.

-Can you talk more about that book?
-No, no, no. No need.

But hey, one more thing.

Sigrid wants to stay
with me and Iben for Christmas.

Yeah, she mentioned
that you wanted that.

-Help yourself.
-It was her suggestion.

And no wonder. You've had
the girls five years in a row,

so it's only fair that I get Sigrid
for one Christmas.

-Does it have to be this Christmas?
-What do you mean?

The first Christmas without Anne.

I see.
But it won't be normal anyway,

since OJ will be in Bømlo
and Hanna has gone away.

Maybe Sigrid isn't as bourgeois
about traditions as you are.

Thanks for the analysis.

If you think 150,000 is too much,
we can discuss it.

I just find it fascinating
that you have no pride.

Some people would be happy
to help the mother of their children

with moving after a divorce,
but you send an invoice instead.

I spent three weeks
installing your kitchen

and fixing your floors.

I could have
spent those three weeks writing.

I'll give you 100,000 if you never
ask me for money again.



I'll send you a credit note
and a new invoice.



Okay.

SUCK IT UP

Can you remind her not to post
pictures of kids on social media?

-Of course.
-Take it easy, Gørild.

There you go.

-See you in a few hours, okay?
-Okay.

We'll watch
that Christmas calendar tonight.

Have fun.

Come on, Malvin.

See you in a few hours.

She relapsed last time.
That's only a year ago.

One year is a long time
for children.

It just doesn't feel right
to send him back now.

No, but it's been decided,
so we have to increase the contact.

It's going to happen
in the new year.

We're just not sure
if Tina will manage this.

I get that you're worried,

but we have to make this
as easy as possible for Malvin.

Let's talk on the phone tomorrow
and have a proper discussion. Okay?

Okay.

Sindre and Gørild should be
less unregulated,

since they've had
several foster children.

Have you asked the conductor
if you need more bass voices?

I get why they're stressed.

The last time Tina got him back,
she relapsed.

TO SIGRID: IT'S A TRADITION!

I can ask the conductor
if we need more male voices.

Can you tell her
that Malvin should go home now?

Yeah.

It's time to go home!

I don't want to go home.
I want to keep playing.

TO SIGRID: AND YOU DIDN'T GO
DOWNHILL SKIING WITH THEM ON SUNDAY.

YOU HAVE TO LOOK AFTER
YOUR FRIENDS, YOU KNOW.

Augusto had actually been in prison
for as*ault, so I had to ghost him.

But I'm meeting another guy
from outside the city, César.

He seems really nice. He wears
a uniform in his Tinder profile.

What kind of uniform, Hanna?

Someone's calling me.
It's probably him. Bye.

Hanna! Hanna, please be careful!

Hey... Let's see...

Oh, my!

Who needs a son when
I have a daughter like you?

Call a repairman the next time you
lie to Stephen about being handy.

What is it now?
What have I done this time?

I'm annoyed because
I have to give Finn 125,000

because you think that's fair.

He made up that amount himself.
I'm not responsible for that.

But you think
he has been treated unfairly

and had lunch with him at a cafe.

I thought that
if his finances improved,

you wouldn't have to pay
for all kinds of things.

He won't stop being a scoundrel

just because he gets some money.

That's not how he's wired.

No, but I figured that his constant
nagging about money could stop.

I just think it's disloyal
to go behind my back like that.

Tell me something. Hey, hey, hey!
Why are you so mad at me?

This has nothing to do with Finn.
You're mad

because I'm spending Christmas
with Stephen's parents.

It's the sum of it.

You're going away for Christmas,
you sell the house so suddenly,

and you screw things up with Finn.

It's like having a teenage son,
and that's the last thing I need.

If that's the way you think,
it's good that we've moved apart.

Yeah, maybe it's for the best.

-You're welcome.
-Thank you.

-My pleasure.
-Goodbye.

You're very unfocused.

Let's take 20, and then I want
to hear the phrasings I asked for.

Okay? See you.

-How long has it been going on?
-A few weeks.

You're going to sleep with him?

No, are you mad?
I don't want to cheat.

It's just sexting.

I'm all for it.

Since Lars won't sleep with you,
you have a free pass.

He does if I ask for it,
but I don't want to ask for it.

So I've given up and started
watching Pornhub instead.

What about PornTube?

I know, but I have a premium
subscription on Pornhub.

I don't want too many subscriptions.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Do you want backing
or critical questions?

I'm not doing anything wrong.
It's just messages.

Could you show them to Lars
and tell him that?

Should we go back inside?

But I'm not doing anything wrong.

I'm sorry. My New Year's resolution
is to be less bourgeois.

In that case, you shouldn't have
New Year's resolutions.

-Isn't the break over?
-I have a family crisis.

-Karsten will take over for me.
-Okay.

That's the second time he leaves
in the middle of practice.

It's just messages, Pørni.
That's all it is.

-Are you okay in there?
-f*ck off, Mom. I'm on the toilet.

You've been there for 45 minutes.
Lara and Astrid are waiting.

Sorry, Lara. She has stomachache.

Hey, look at this. I got inspired
by Tuva and that optician.

-So Kjetil and I are doing this...
-Ew!

Have you stopped
calling him Bowel-Kjetil?

We've taken our relationship
to the next level.

Stop it!
I'm not supposed to see that!

Okay. Hey, we'll host
New Year's Eve.

-Okay?
-Okay.

You shouldn't have to do it since
it's the first year without Anne.

Hey, Astrid...

I'm not feeling well,
so I don't think I can sleep over.

Oh no! What a shame!

We'll have to get Michaela and Lara
to bake some cookies for you.

-Get well soon.
-Thank you.

-Tell her to get well soon.
-Get well soon.

Not to Pørni,
to your friend, you moron!

-Jesus.
-Has something happened?

No, I don't think so.
My daughter just has Asperger's.

Not really.
She's been tested for that.

But I think she has a touch of it.

New Year's Eve.
Bring a friend, at least.

Yeah, maybe.
Let's reschedule the sleepover.

-Okay. Bye!
-Bye.

Okay. Let's go.

We're going to have fun.
We'll have cocoa.

There are many
other kids there, too.

Hey...

He gets that it's just
for one night, right?

Gørild is making it difficult.
I'll go and talk to her.

Goodbye.

-Hey...
-Hey, Malvin... This will be great.

I know this is hard for you,
but you're not helping Malvin.

-You're very unregulated.
-I know.

Can't you put up an act?
He's going back in the new year.

He needs experience
with sleeping over.

-You're not helping Malvin.
-Oh my God! Kevin! I forgot Kevin!

-Can you give him Kevin?
-Sure.

-You surprise me sometimes.
-In a positive or negative way?

I don't know. Maybe both.

You seem so certain
that Tina is ready.

I agree with the expert.

She's a good caregiver
as long as she's clean,

and they need practice.

Next time, they will stay
at Tina's place.

Does anyone want a ride?

-You should try biking.
-Merry Christmas.

My wife's daughter is picking me up.

There's a rail replacement service
to Asker again.

Like always.

She just got her license.

Here she is.

Say hi to Pernille Middelthon,

who I have talked about,
and Kenneth Larsen.

-Hi.
-Hi. Congrats on the license.

-Merry Christmas.
-Anne Middelthon?

Are you related to her?

Yeah, she's my sister.

Say hi from Sara.

She was my Norwegian teacher.
The best teacher I've had.

I got into journalism studies
because of her,

and now I'm working for NRK.
Tell her that.

I'd love a ride, if that's okay.
We're practically neighbors.

Yes, of course.

You can sit on the other side,
and I'll drive you home.

Maybe that's best.

I meet old students of hers
who haven't heard what happened.

That's no problem, but she will
never hear what they tell me.

She'll never know
how much she meant to them.

I see. She meant a lot to you too.

She was my best friend.

But she was a lot cooler than me.

We were very close
because our mom died so young.

I feel that I can't talk
about her anymore.

People are sick of it
and have their own issues.

Sorry. You have to get home
to Jeanette.

Jeanette has kickboxing practice.

I thought we could sit here
for a while.

I have to get inside.
My daughter is sick,

and my dad is delivering some
presents before he goes to Bømlo.

Okay.

I have a lot of respect
for this car.

It's a middle finger
to the Green Party.

I voted for them once.

Of course you did.
You're a typical hypocrite.

-I'll call you in an hour.
-Okay?

-In case you want to talk some more.
-Thanks.

Okay?

-Thanks a lot.
-No worries.

Great f*cking car. g*dd*mn.

-See you.
-Bye.

The sparkles are really nice.

-What do you think?
-That's great!

-Hi.
-Hi!

-Where's Sigrid?
-She's still sick.

She came down
and made one of these.

Then she went to bed.

But it was very nice to see her.

The presents are out in the hallway.

Would you like some mulled wine,
or are you leaving early?

We're leaving early tomorrow,
and we'll stop by one of my nephews.

So we should get going.

But first, I'll head upstairs
and show this to Sigrid.

She got a mashed banana

and Grandpa's special tea
for stomachache.

That's great.

Who should go first?

I think it should be you.

And I think it should be you.

Okay.

I'm sorry, you old grump.

I'm sorry, you middle-aged hag.

Hey...

This Christmas will be hard,
but let's not fight.

I know.

There's a blue bag in the hallway
with a candle.

Can you place it on the grave for me
on 23 December?

-Of course.
-And sorry about Finn.

I had the best intentions.
I wanted him to stop bothering you.

I know. It's fine.

-She's sound asleep.
-I won't wake her, then.

But remember to tell her
that Grandpa loves her.

I'll tell her. Merry Christmas.

There's a present for your parents
in a gray bag out there.

Merry Christmas.

-Hi.
- Hey.

That was exactly one hour.

Precision is a virtue.
Jeanette says hi. She just came in.

I'm actually doing quite well now.
You don't have to look after me.

So you look after everyone else
but won't let anyone look after you?

Good morning!

Have you changed your style again?

Have you changed your style?

You look great.

How are you today, honey?

-Sigrid.
-Huh?

Are you okay?
Do you still have stomachache?

A little.
But... what are you up to today?

-At work?
-Yeah.

I'll have to testify for the board,

and then I have
some boring meetings,

and then I'm picking up a boy

who has lived with foster parents
for three years.

He's going to sleep over at
his mom's place for the first time.

So thanks for...

Thanks for your interest,

and thanks for putting
empty cartons in the fridge.

If I have time,

I'll carve up a mall Santa
I'm keeping in the freezer.

-Cool.
-Yes, it is.

And I'll have to go to the mall
and steal some presents for you.

There.

Do you remember
living here when you were little?

-No.
-On the second floor.

You lived here till you were three.

And your friend from daycare, Fanny,
still lives on the first floor.

Maybe you'll begin in the same class
at your new school.

But I'll celebrate Christmas
with Gørild and Sindre?

Yes. Your mom is coming too.

You'll keep seeing Gørild and Sindre
when you're living with your mom.

But now we're just staying here
for one night.

Not we. You're staying there
for one night, until tomorrow. Okay?

Hello!

Maybe you should wait here.

Tina?

Hello?

f*ck.

Sorry.

You know that you can die
from drugs?

You can, but I've called someone
who will help your mom.

And we'll go to Gørild and Sindre.

Can I leave the Christmas present?

I made a pearl necklace.

That's lovely.

You know what?
Let's hang it on the door. Okay?

Come on, Malvin.

Do we have to tell Gørild?

She'll be angry at Mom.

We have to tell her.

Maybe she'll get angry, but
she's still rooting for your mom.

You can get angry
at people you love.

I get it if you're angry
and disappointed.

Can we have kebabs?

Sure we can.

-Balkan or Beirut?
-Balkan.

-Balkan? Really?
-No, Beirut.

-h*, h*, h*.
-Hello!

That went well, didn't it?

We're struggling with the bass line,
but the tenors are good.

Maybe four out of six.

We just wanted to thank you
for your hard work.

-Merry Christmas.
-How nice. Thank you.

What are you doing for Christmas?

I'm going with Geert to Amsterdam.
We always spend Christmas there.

That's nice. Okay. Bye!

Vrolijk kerstfeest!

It's something I've picked up from
Geert. It means "Merry Christmas."

-I see.
-That's fun.

Sorry. I just have
to check something.

Rasmus, I was wondering... Ouch.

That looks painful.
Have you been in a fight?

I was really clumsy
and fell down the stairs.

I just wanted to ask if there are
any open spots in the choir.

One of my colleagues
wants to join us.

If he sings well,
there's always room in the choir.

We'll have tryouts in January.

I'm in a hurry, so...

Right. Merry Christmas.

Should we grab some mulled wine?

I have to buy presents at Storo.
They're open until eleven.

Merry Christmas.

Do you know anything about
Rasmus' boyfriend, by the way?

Geert? Or "Gee-ert,"
as it's pronounced?

I've only met him once. Why?

-I'm just wondering if he's nice.
-Huh?

Rasmus just used the most common
excuse among victims of violence

apart from walking into a door.

Geert works
with mental health for youth.

Your work has ruined you.

See you on Christmas Eve
for ice swimming.

Can't we just meet?
Do we have to go ice swimming?

-Ice swimming is trendy. Bye.
-Bye!

-Hi!
-Hi.

My contact lens fell out.

It's a good thing
Simen is an optician.

You should consider
switching to progressive lenses.

-They get less dry.
-Yes, I'll do that.

-Merry Christmas, ladies.
-Merry Christmas, Simen.

I did lose my contact lens,
and he is an optician.

Absolutely. Say hi to the family.
See you on Christmas Eve.

But like I said, it did fall out,
and it's his job.

Sort of.

It's so crazy that we ran into you.

I told Kenneth yesterday
that we should invite you to dinner.

Since he has zero friends
I get along with.

Except Morten from PST and Kjersti.
They're lovely.

But really, we can take the tram.

No, I love driving people home.

Sorry, babe. I powershop
like mad once I get going.

Kenneth has so many kids
I have to curry favor with.

There's nothing wrong
with gift cards.

Hi. Everyone is at Storo today.
Are you well?

We're doing great.
Do you want to look at her?

Oh, look at that!

Hi. Pernille.

I've heard a lot about you. Gerhard.

Sometimes, it's hard
to deny paternity.

Look at the mane on that baby!

-The spitting image of her father.
-Really cute.

We have to finish
our Christmas shopping.

-Merry Christmas.
-Merry Christmas. Sorry.

Did I say something wrong?

-No, but that's Bjørnar's baby.
-Bjørnar Berg Hansen?

-And Jesus was a virgin birth.
-They did look alike.

That little princess was Gerhard
washed at 90°C.

If that's the reason you broke up,
it's really sad.

It's not that sad.
We're friends, and it's fine.

You don't have to be a cop
to see that Bjørnar's been fooled.

I don't think he's been fooled.

Therese and Gerhard split up
because they couldn't have children.

Shouldn't someone mention
the resemblance to Bjørnar?

I'm sure they can see it,
unless they're blind.

But I guess someone should tell him.

-Talk to you later.
-Bye.

It was really nice to meet you.

Come to dinner someday.
We live just around the corner.

-I'd love to.
-Okay. Bye.

Don't take my presents.

-Now it's Christmas.
-Yes, now it's Christmas.

I'm leading you
straight into the bush.

-You made it yourself?
-Yes, I made a present.

You wanted a home-made present.

Mom said you're not allowed
to open it until Christmas Eve.

Mom got me a present!

I think Kevin and Stuart
will be quite happy.

Go and put it
under the Christmas tree.

-Did you find Bob?
-Yes, at Storo.

I'm sorry
you had to go through this again.

She'll get it right in the end.
We have to believe that.

-Merry Christmas.
-You too. Merry Christmas.

Talk to you later.
After Christmas, if not before. Bye.

-Hi, Dad. Are you okay?
- I've never been better.

Stephen's parents are so sweet.

I saw that you tried to call?

I have a medical question.

Can you have babies with red hair

if none of the parents
are red-haired?

Right. Biology isn't my specialty,

but red hair is quite dominant,
so I think so.

What are you doing in Bømlo?

They went kiting today,

and they got me a horse and sleigh,
so I'm having a great time.

We drank port wine and ate Stilton,
and on Christmas Eve,

we're having Danish duck.

I thought you had to have lamb ribs
on Christmas Eve.

- No, that's not important to me.
-Okay.

I have to go now.
Things are a little hectic here.

Okay. Say hi to everyone. Bye.
