Our Time is Now (Vår tid är nu)

Good morning, Mr. Rehnskiöld. Already back? - Yes...

I thought I saw you with your wife. - No, I went home last night.

I must have made a mistake.

Nina...

Nina... can you hear me?

Nina...

Can you hear me?

Hello! Hello!

Can we have a doctor? She woke up!

EPISODE 1

EARLY SUMMER -

Welcome! - Thanks.

Our Master Chef.

Rundström. - Backe. My colleague, Svensson.

Welcome. Did you have a good trip? - Yes.

Have you been to Gällnö before? - No, the Islands were no place for a boy from Siberia.

We had run this place for 20 years, right up until the war.

This gets me all the time... what a magnificent dining room!

It looks great. - Yes, it's just a bit...

It needs some painting and cleaning but there are no major damages.

The holes are still here. - Look at that... that'll be fixed.

You already said that in February. - Did I?

Look, my old sausage grinder is still here!

Isn't this great?

This, Calle, will get you a proper meal!

There's no power. - There should be...

I've seen electricians around... it should be working...

But it doesn't. - Very strange...

We're opening in 3 weeks. This is... not good.

Of course not... this goes beyond... why people don't do their job?!

Doesn't make you mad? - Mmh...

She's asleep. - Good.

So...

I've been thinking about that idea of moving to Skåne, and...

...I think it's a good idea. Me and Christina should go in June...

...and you can come in August. - Why?

There's so much to do there and...

...I think it could be stressful for you. I have to work and I can't look after you properly.

Who's gonna look after Christina then? - Kerstin. I asked her, she doesn't mind.

I don't like the idea of being away from Christina all summer.

And you, of course. - I understand... but we'll come visit you.

I've also talked to Helga and she says you could stay in the summer house. Isn't that nice?

Ok, if you think that's best.

How was it? - A bit worn.

Very small kitchen... come on, get in!

Where will you stay? - There are rooms for the staff.

Here's your bag! - You'll squeeze with the waitresses.

You don't have to worry. - You know how it goes.

I did a season at Sandhamn.

Far from town, bright summer nights, you feel like going for a swim...

I'll be missing you and Björn. - I hope you will.

Did you manage to get an extra week off?

Sorry, just one week. - It's a shame.

But then you and I will be in a tent in Denmark, too crowded for Bjorn.

Where will he sleep then? - In the bus overhead bin.

I have a dream that I killed someone.

I don't know who or why... I just know I can't go back.

And I don't know how I can live with that.

You know who's the dream about?

Yes...

I'm tired of it, I dream it every night.

Who is it about? - I'm going to need Veronal again.

You can't have it. - I'll never get well if I can't sleep.

Veronal is highly addictive and it's too risky given your medical history.

You feel guilt in your dream, do you know why?

I jumped through a window, ready to leave my daughter forever.

Of course I feel guilty. - The person you dream to kill might not be a person at all.

Maybe it's not about your suicide attempt.

Maybe you feel guilty for suppressing your needs... who you really are.

I don't feel sorry for myself.

I only hope my husband and daughter will be able to forgive me.

That they'll trust me again.

One second! Out!

Have you seen the kitchen? - Yes and I don't understand what it's good for.

But it's your kitchen... - That's right, my kitchen...

The place where I'll be working...

But I didn't want it rebuilt from scratch!

We're spending a fortune on that kitchen so stop whining!

What you do on gas you do better on coal fire!

Why have a stove at all? Just light a fire on the kitchen floor and cook there!

It's all about fire. - The kitchen in Gällnö is just the right size.

Everything within reach. Take a step, reach out and you got it!

That kitchen is like an old, comfortable coat.

5 or 6 people must fit into that coat. - You don't need so many good cooks.

Yes... lots of exciting things have happened into that kitchen... I heard.

You heard? - Yes, from a very well informed source.

I think they're all lies... and they won't happen again.

No, no...

Calle! - Hey!

We saved you a seat!

Excuse me.

Hello. - Here's the prodigal son!

We were wondering where you could be. - I'm here now.

I came prepared.

Fly-catcher. Wasp hat.

Will you wear it if there's a wasp in the dining room? - Flyswatter.

Mousetrap... two of them.

Anything you need. - You're armed to the teeth.

I'm not enjoying this but when the Löwanders call, I'm on hand.

I think I just saw Nina... Mrs. Rehnskjöld.

She and Helga are coming to Gällnö too. They have a summer place there.

They stay inside because out here is for the plebs.

Which category you think you're in? - It varies from day to day.

Where did you leave Uno? - He's at Barnens Ö children camp.

Does he like it? - It seems so.

These are your vacations, right? - Yes, my three weeks.

How do you have a schedule when people are always on vacation? - Vacations are a nuisance!

How nice! Have you worked here before?

No, I was spared.

Here you can have some rest, Nina.

It's been a dreadful year.

It's just the same. We sleep in pairs so pick a room.

In pairs?! - Dibs on my old room!

Here you don't have the morning sun. You take that bed.

I could take a bath. - Do we really have to sleep in pairs?

Except in the attic, which is a quadruple. - It'll be fine for me.

There's a hovel down there, if you must sleep alone.

Thank you.

You can do this, Bengt-Allan. Chin up!

As you noticed, Rundström has only done a fraction of the work needed.

If we want to open in a week, you'll have to help and do jobs which fall outside your competencies.

When are the others coming? - A couple of days before the opening.

Are you up to it? - Of course, Director! Just say what's to be done!

Everybody? - Of course.

That's truly appreciated. One more thing...

The drain is broken so you'll have to use the outside toilet for now.

No problem. - Good, let's get to work.

Did you see our old sailboat?

Yes, we should put it the water again.

Remember when you drove that thing? How awful!

That time I was trying to escape. - No you weren't.

Peter and Gustaf were having fun outside while I was...

You were too young to go with them. - No, I wasn't!

Peter could do way more things when he was my age.

You didn't want me to stay out in the sun.

Too much sun is bad for the skin. - That sounds very 19th century.

Nevertheless it's true.

Smile as much as you want but Nina's beautiful skin is largely my merit.

Actually, dad kinda forced me and Gustaf to go out camping.

"It will make you tougher"... I was about 10 or 11 the first time.

Gustaf hated it, he cried himself to sleep.

I had to comfort my big brother. - I shouldn't have let your father insist.

You thought the same. - No, I didn't...

Yes you did. I'm not complaining, I liked it outside in the summer.

I tried to get hold of Gustaf and ask him to come along.

He never called back. - What a shame.

How's the restaurant? - A disaster, Rundström is a clown.

Would you help... - No, Nina must rest.

There are jobs for you. - What you have in mind?

Hey. - Hey.

They put you to work too. - Yes.

I've been on the roof and replacing boilers.

Now I'm fixing the lights here.

I hope we can make it for the opening.

Nice seeing you.

How are you doing?

I think it's best for both of us if don't have much contacts.

Sure... - If it was up to me, I'd be in Skåne with Christina.

And Erik. - I understand.

I didn't mean to...

Hello there. It smells good. - Thanks.

Hi there, Bengtsson! - Hi.

Yes... doesn't look bad at all!

Can I have the cod and the herrings? - Of course.

You got anything that's not from the sea... but came by sea?

Good morning. Eivor. - Margareta.

You need help? - Sure. You just got here?

Yes, it's my first day. It's beautiful here.

Didn't I ask Miss Eivor to polish the chandeliers? - They're already polished, Maitre.
