The Asset (Legenden)

SORRY I HAD TO GO. HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD NIGHT.

YEAH, THANKS. BUT IT'S BEST IF YOU DON'T TEXT ME ANYMORE

Are you okay?

-Yeah. I'm fine. -Are you sure?

I'm fine.

Mm.

Should I send her a message?

No, it's best if you don't. He asked you to back off.

Let's not provoke him any further.

It's obvious she likes you, but he's the one in charge.

You're gonna need his approval to become friends with her.

That's our next step.

You said I wouldn't get involved with him.

You weren't supposed to. But things have changed.

We found out that he visited your jewelry store's website.

He also checked your Instagram and googled your name.

You clearly made an impression on him.

So what do I do now?

You need to boost his ego.

Try to make him feel safe, important, and in control.

You'd be surprised how a man's self-esteem dictates his behavior.

I know that.

Here, this helps with hangovers.

THE ASSET

-Hi. -Hey.

I'm here to give this back, it's Ibi's.

I… I borrowed her dress. Can Ashley give it back to her?

Here.

So I ask you to back off and you show up at my house?

Um, actually, I also came here to tell you that I'm sorry.

Um…

I'm really sorry if I did or said something that upset you.

And maybe that's why you don't want Ashley to hang out with me anymore.

I really didn't mean to ruin your night.

Where'd you get this address?

Customers provide it when they buy jewelry from me.

Right.

Anyway, I already told Ashley,

but I thought you should know too, that, um…

if ever you need to buy jewelry, I can give you a nice discount at my store.

-Going door to door? -No, I'm just being friendly.

-Give her my best. -How did you get here?

I took a taxi.

You took a taxi.

And it's already gone?

Yes.

Hold on, wait here.

Come.

-Where to? -For a drive.

Come on.

You're sweating.

So, tell me… what do you want from her?

From her?

Never heard about you before. You came out of nowhere.

What's that about?

We met at a nail salon and then we started talking.

That's all there is to it.

I just moved back to Copenhagen so I don't have many friends here.

Come on.

Right in the middle of the fucking road, seriously.

-Where'd you live before? -Dubai.

You speak Arabic, then?

No, I don't, unfortunately.

I only speak English and Danish, that's it.

Very nice collection.

Can I see these?

-The earrings? -Mm-hmm.

Of course.

-Here you go. -Thanks.

May I?

They're perfect.

I apologize for my behavior last night.

It's okay.

Ashley is passionate about many things, but she sometimes gets carried away.

And some people…

take advantage of that.

I'm only trying to protect her.

Of course.

That bracelet… you gave to Sofia.

-Yeah? -You have another one?

Yeah.

You don't have to wrap it. Like that is fine.

All right.

What's the total?

With the discount, that'll be 45.

Do you take cash?

Uh, yeah, but only up to 15.

Hm.

Can you split it?

Never mind. I'll pay by card.

Okay.

Thank you.

May I call her?

Only if you're okay with that?

It's fine.

Thank you for asking.

Cereal, again?

Yeah.

Let's go bowling next week. All together, as a family.

-Mom! -Hi!

Hi, sweetie.

I'm so happy to see you.

-Look what Dad found! -Oh, wow! Where was it?

On the floor in the car.

Mom, can I have some cereal?

-Yes. Of course you can. -Thanks.

Hi, honey.

Thanks, Mom.

-Your favorite. -I got you a gift.

Just a little something.

Like them?

Mm.

Why don't you go try them on?

Sure.

Dad, have you seen my iPad?

Uh… yeah, I saw it somewhere around here. Go look in your bedroom.

Mm.

I told her I was sorry.

You did?

Yeah.

Call her and ask if you don't believe me.

I overreacted, I'm sorry.

I don't want to fight like that with you.

Yesterday, I didn't mean any of the things I said.

I know you didn't.

It's okay.

Kiss me.

What is it?

You should invite her out.

Sara?

Yeah. Do something together, just the two of you.

Go have fun.

My treat.

Seriously?

Yeah.

You should invite her out.

Do something together. Just the two of you. Go have fun.

My treat.

Seriously?

Yeah.

What's in it for you?

Nothing.

I know you.

I'd like for you to ask her if she can help you invest in stones.

-Invest? -Yes.

I don't think she'd be into that.

That's what I want you to find out.

You know I hate doing stuff like that.

Just invite her out.

What does he want out of this?

We know that he's probably sitting on a pile of cash.

And jewels are an easy way to move large sums of money.

If he's able to make a deal with you,

he can legally fly out of the country with the stones, sell them in Spain, and…

then buy all the cocaine he can dream of.

-And we're gonna help him do that? -Yes.

Sort of help him.

What does legal say?

Legal always says the same thing.

We can do it, but they don't recommend it.

What do you think?

I believe it's the perfect way for her to get in.

Then we can just follow the stones, they'll lead us to Miran.

We'll be able to bust him and his suppliers.

Okay.

For now, it's important you keep a low profile.

Stay as passive as possible.

Let her come to you.

Let her do all the talking.

Let her speak for herself and don't force anything.

And when she asks me, what do I say?

Tell her that you'll see what you can do but that you can't promise her anything.

Give her just enough information to bring home to Miran

and let him know there's an opening.

Understood?

Yeah. Understood.

We can sit here.

Hi.

-Hi. -Hi.

-Hi. -Nice seeing you again.

-The other night was fun. -Yeah, it was.

Glad you reached out. A spa is what I needed.

-Happy you liked it. Ever been here? -No, never.

It's really nice.

Thanks for the earrings, I like them.

-The earrings? -Yeah.

-Good choice. -I didn't choose them.

Mm-hmm.

No way Miran picked these out by himself.

He says hi, by the way.

He's still a bit embarrassed by his behavior.

Normally he's not such a huge idiot.

It's all right.

We all had way too much to drink. That didn't help.

Like Bambi.

Yeah, especially like Bambi.

Someone's interested.

Stop it, Ash.

Okay.

Miran was impressed by your store.
