The first 200 lines.
-I'll be there soon. -Were you asleep?
No, of course not.
Can you come soon? Please hurry.
This party is just old men.
I'm on my way to the car, okay?
We're at GIN now, we'll be there after 10.
-Sure. -Cool. See you.
-Jojo? -Yes?
-Is that you in there? -Mm.
-Have you talked to Jana? -Yes, she's on her way!
-The guests are here! -Okay!
-Hurry up now! -Yes.
-Where's Jana? -She'll be here in a minute.
-Typical to come at the last minute. -Jojo just talked to her.
Darling, don't forget to breathe.
No, that would be stupid.
Jana?
Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
Hi.
Are you here for Karl?
No. I thought you might be here.
I've tried getting in touch with you...
Have you changed your number? I've emailed...
I don't want to talk to you, okay?
I promise, this time it's something you really need to see.
Your promises mean nothing to me, Hans.
I understand you feel that way.
But there's a...
There's a little girl you need to meet.
What's going on out here?
Hey, Karl.
I just have to show Jana something.
You know, Hans? It's great you're so engaged with vulnerable children.
But I'm retiring today.
I'd like to celebrate that with my family and friends,
so if you'll excuse us...
-Jana, please. -That's enough!
We're not interested.
-Why are you so late? -I'm not late!
You're the last to arrive.
Beck-Friis cancelled, they got some stomach bug.
-Jojo! Hey, darling. -They got something in Bali.
-Here you are. -Not smart to eat salad in Asia.
-No... -Where did you get to?
Hans Juhlén was outside.
-Hans Juhlén? -Yes.
That man's interest in damaged young women doesn't seem healthy.
Damaged young women?
Come on, Jana. Are we going to let this taint the whole evening?
-Let's celebrate Dad! -Ah, white lilies!
Congratulations. Or should I offer my condolences?
-Thank you. -They're funeral flowers.
Please. Cheer up, smiles on faces! That's it!
Okay. Now you say a few words.
-I've already greeted everyone. -Jesus...
Can you drive me downtown tonight?
Nice to see you back! We thought the whole Berzelius family had left!
No.
My first focus is to confront Jonas and Miriam
with the truth of their economy
which they've been blind to for too long.
I don't think they have any idea how bad it is...
What the hell?
You have to shut that window downstairs.
What?
The office.
I didn't open it.
Have you defrosted the chantarelles?
No.
Then we'll get pizza.
What?
Oh, come on, we were going to make risotto!
-I'll go buy some pizza. -No! Risotto!
We're getting pizza.
It's been a huge honour to work for Sweden's best chief prosecutor.
The unbeatable statistics speak for themselves.
-Flattery will get you far. -Exactly.
Now it's time for other things, Karl.
That is, rest.
I'm aware you don't know that word.
No, he doesn't.
Well, it means, and I quote:
"for a person or object to maintain one position
in relation to other things."
That is to say, to not have anything going on, Karl.
But what I want to say is, thank you, Karl, and good luck,
and cheers and enjoy your freedom.
-Cheers! -Thank you.
Now you think I'm done, but I'm not.
The riff-raff are probably very pleased that you're retiring,
but they shouldn't celebrate yet.
We have something else to announce tonight.
A little surprise.
I don't like surprises.
Well, you'll like this one.
The first thing I did as your successor, Karl,
was to recruit Jana as Aspirant Prosecutor.
What? Wow!
We need a Berzelius in the house! That's simply how it is.
Wow!
Yes, uh... I think it's time for some food.
Come sit down.
How could you, in front of everyone, without telling me?
-What were you thinking? -I was gonna tell you myself.
You already have a job waiting at Stockholm's best agency.
-But this will suit me much better. -Please, there are...
thousands of areas you could...
-Am I interrupting? -No.
-Can I introduce you to a colleague? -Yes.
Alright. I'll see you on Monday, but I thought it could be good...
This is Peer Bruckner, Jana Berzelius.
-Hi. -Hi.
Maybe you already know one another?
Yes... we do.
-We were notaries together. -Oh, that's right. Yes, of course.
-Tord, can I have a word? -Sure. See you.
-It's been a long time. -Mm.
How's the running going?
-Are you still as committed? -I run till I throw up.
It sounds... intense.
I do BJJ.
Brazilian Jujitsu.
Blue belt now, actually. It's a kind of wrestling.
A lot of body contact...
But it's tough. It's a pretty hard sport.
So you don't think it's for me, then?
Of course it is. You should come along sometime.
-If you... -I think I'll stick with running.
But I'm going out tomorrow morning.
Six-thirty at the railway bridge.
Want to come?
Absolutely.
This is totally fucking absurd.
I do nothing but try to help you.
What the hell?
Talk to him.
-I'll try. -Don't just try, talk to him now.
Okay?
Listen...
This is important, okay?
We'll sort it out. Talk to him!
Let it go, Jana.
It'll pass.
I thought he'd be proud.
He is proud. I'm proud. We're both proud.
But you know yourself what a demanding career it is.
Yes.
How are you doing? With sleep and everything.
-Good. -I'm glad.
You'll be a fantastic prosecutor, Jana, I know it.
You were going to drive me downtown, the party's over.
No... Are you leaving? We were going to celebrate as a family now.
-What? -Celebrate your birthday.
We celebrated Karl's retirement.
I know that.
But couldn't we celebrate Jojo a bit?
Yeah, but my birthday's in a week, Mum.
Yes...
Goodness me... Off with you!
-I'll do this. -I'll help you.
No, that's not necessary. Go on, have some fun.
Thank you for coming, bye!
Love you, bye!
Bye, love you!
Hey?
You did a great job.
Hey, what was that with Mum?
-What do you mean? -She just seemed really weird.
She's got lots to do and is really stressed.
It's not just stress.
She's been scattered before, but it feels like something else now.
It felt really crazy.
And Dad...
What the hell was up with him?
What's his problem? Why was he so grumpy?
I didn't take the job he organised for me.
God, Jana, forget him.
I think you're awesome, Jana. I'm so proud of you.
Thanks.
He's just scared you'll outshine him.
-Have fun. -Thanks.
Wait, what's that?
-What? -The white stuff on your phone.
It... I baked canapés all day, I guess it's flour.
-Who are you meeting? -Stop acting like Mum.
-Thanks for the lift. -Hey!
Hello?
Kerstin?
Kerstin?
Kerstin?
Kerstin?!
Kerstin!
Wake up!
I can't answer right now, say something. Kisses!
Don't be such a pussy!
Shot, shot, shot!
Come on! I want to see! No, no, no!
Jojo?
Jesus. Come on, we're going home.
Good.
