- Oh! - Faster, cowboy!
No no no...
Norwegian texts: Mari Andresen.
Like that. You bleed a little today, but that's normal if you've drunk alcohol the day before.
We set up an appointment in two weeks and check that everything is as it should be.
Then you must come more often than you have been lately.
Shall we set up an hour for fillers in the lips, perhaps?
I guess it's time now.
- It was good, then. Satisfied? - Absolutely.
Shall we see... Like that.
It was rejected. Try again and insert the chip.
- It must be the terminal. - The card has been lying loose in the bag, as it were.
It may not be money. Do you have another card, perhaps?
No but...
- How much was it? - It was 4,700 then.
Didn't you used to have an account here?
Yes. Or... It was my husband who had the account.
But he died.
I don't know... Maybe I could just get an invoice?
- No, we don't do that here. It is a policy. - I have been a customer here for more than ten years.
- Yes. We'll try one more time, and it'll probably work. - There must be something wrong with the machine.
I don't know how you want to solve this now. Want to transfer some money?
Or borrow from someone, perhaps? I do not know.
You stand behind a counter and think you have power over me?!
Take it, then! It is worth more than you earn in several months!
- Could I have a bag? - You're welcome.
- Please repeat. - Customer advisor.
- I didn't understand. Please repeat. - Customer advisor!
I didn't understand. Please repeat.
Aaa!
Transfers to customer service.
Is it good like that?
Has it been an hour already?
Can you grab your ass a little more?
There is nothing worse for the glutes than riding a camel.
Just a little more.
Don't be afraid to take the plunge.
That's good. Yes, perfect! It is good.
Yes, perfect! Yes.
- Room service collects the massage table. - Right.
Both me and my butt humbly thank you.
Oh, it was perfect.
- Cardboard sleeve. - Okay. Understood.
- Beskow greets. - Yes, I heard that.
So I need a passport.
Yes, I understood that. That's very good.
- It is 30,000, then it will be ready in four weeks. - I probably need it a little sooner. Or...
- I don't quite know when. - No, that...
I'm going to London for a couple of days.
After that I need a new identity asap. I have everything with me.
I have passport photo, money, height, eye color, everything you need.
Yes. I can't promise you any faster. I don't dare.
It's just that if I don't have it, and suddenly have to travel, -
it is not certain that I will survive.
Is it the police?
No. Psychopath.
Is there something special you want to be called?
No. Maybe not Laila or Agnes. Otherwise, you have free hands.
- Right. - Okay.
Damn...
I have to go to the bathroom. I will be late for work.
- Come out, I have to go. - Go away!
- Get the goddamn door open at once! - No, go away!
It's Celine Bergvik. I'm standing at an ATM that has swallowed my bank card.
- Do you remember the account number? - Yes. 16124538989.
- Your access to the account is blocked. - But it's mine.
It is not in your name, but a William Bergvik.
- That's my husband. He is dead. - Condolences.
- Can I come to the bank and withdraw money? - As long as it's not your account...
- This is absolutely absurd! - Is there anything else we can help with today?
Pussy!
Is there anything I can do?
Not to push, I just want to save your eyeliner. Here.
That's the only thing old men can be used for. Clean handkerchiefs.
Thank you very much. I'm just having a bit of a bad day.
Yes. There are some like that sometimes.
I think we've met before. At Henrik Kranz's wedding.
- Is not that right? - Yes...
- Yes? - Yes of course.
I thought you looked familiar. It just took a little time.
- The world is not that big. - No.
Have you eaten anything today?
No!
Maybe we could... I walked past a restaurant that looked very nice.
Maybe we should... I treat you.
Don't you think it would be nice to sit down and have a little glass?
It sounds like you've been through something today.
- That was very kind, then. - But then we'll do it!
In a world without enough electricity, no concessions are refused.
- With today's energy prices, the money is flowing in. - And tax?
If the wind farm is financed with internal loans to the parent company, taxable profits are avoided.
I have something here at Egersund.
You're welcome. Egersund. According to the company register owned by German Hyfe Holding.
In the Directorate of Water Resources and Energy, German Luxcara is listed as the owner.
Two other companies appear in the German company register.
These are wholly owned by the same ladies who founded Luxcara.
But neither Luxcara nor the two German companies have financed the wind farm.
A fifth company appears there, registered in Lux where the company register is closed.
- Nobody knows who the investors are. - Fantastic.
In 2019, Norsk Vind Egersund AS had 1.2 billion in debt.
Plus 190 million at the holding company. A total of 80 million in finance and interest costs.
Mainly interest on loans to companies that financed the wind farm. In Lux.
- So they never have to pay taxes in Norway? - Not in the next ten years. Everything goes out as interest.
Clean, untaxed cash flow from green energy. You have a couple of companies in Cayman?
And there will be more. I am an environmentalist.
- You've given up on chairs, haven't you? - It hurts to sit.
I pulled a muscle while running this morning.
- There is a Hartmann at the reception. He... - Yes, I know. Excuse me for a moment.
- Are you busy? - Yes, I'm in a meeting.
- I went for a walk, so I just wanted to say hello. - It doesn't fit a bit.
Would it be better for you to visit us tomorrow, then?
- That... - It wasn't a question.
Shall we say 9 o'clock?
You may have a lovely day.
Hello?
Yes... How does it feel to be a medium?
Talk to the dead?
William...
You sick fuck. What... How...
Now there are a lot of questions. We'll take this over a few beers.
If you're impatient, you can google Gerald Cotten, but now I have to ask you a favor.
- Where are you now? - I have no one around me that I know.
- I am at a beach hotel in Sweden with the children. - You have never done anything with the children.
That is correct. I have the au pair with me, then. She bathes them now.
While you've been busy being dead, I'm getting divorced. For real.
I am all for getting 100% parental rights.
I just have to get the au pair to testify that I'm a wonderful dad.
- But do you want it? - Of course not. You have met my children.
She will get percentages at mercy, I thought.
- Against her promising not to make any noise. - I love it.
But back to that service. All my Norwegian company accounts are blocked.
Probably the estate board messing up because I didn't have a will. So Celine robs the corpse.
I have managed to transfer her account, or my account which she has managed, -
- back to me. But I need you to find the lawyer who manages the estate.
And tells under discretion that I live.
Is it fun?
To be dead? Is it fun?
It's actually surprisingly good for the psyche. I release all white noise in my head.
Now the children are coming. I'll fix it. Can I reach you at this number?
- Don't say anything to the others, then. - Hello, how was the water?
Great. Around 23-24 degrees on the surface.
Right. I have booked the tennis court in 45 minutes.
You can eat now, or go to your room and change.
- The room, maybe? - Take the gang with you, then.
Thank you. Really. I don't know if they play tennis where you come from, -
- but if you drink alcohol... Be good, the champagne is yours.
Or order whatever you want in the room. Everything is yours.
Thanks.
Just sit down and take a little break. I can take the kids for a bit, me.
I have worked mostly in my husband's company. Yes, until he died.
But how... He was young, right?
- Sorry, it's none of my business. - That's fine, then.
He drowned.
In a waterfall. Or we don't know if he drowned or jumped.
He had put the clothes... on the side only.
Did he have a history of depression?
So sad.
And since he jumped or fell or…
So no one has heard from him? He wasn't found either?
No.
And suddenly today our account... or my card was blocked.
So that's why it's a bit like that...
Yes, a day like that.
Yes, a really bad day.
Sorry. I don't usually drink at lunch, it's just one of those days.
You do, Celine.
I saw your little pocket lark.
You drink all day, you know that.
You can't stand the world if you're not a bit of a breeze.
You know you've driven your life into the ditch. We might as well be honest here.
And I have a suggestion for you.
You don't know who I am here, but I'm the companion of Michael Beskow.
And your husband isn't dead.
He owes us a lot of money.
