Russian subtitles: Marya Loginova vk.com/scandiscope

The creator of the series is Håkan Linde.

Based on the novel by Per Schlingmann "Before the Eye of Power".

"Scandalist David Erling".

North Gotland, 5 days ago.

We are now broadcasting the latest news from Almedalen,

where important events take place.

Let's ask Hanna Wallström about this.

Let's see who she manages to meet in this chaos.

We'll talk about one way to travel by train with children.

This option is becoming increasingly popular among those

who cares about the environment.

Hello, sunshine!

What are you cooking?

I'm cooking...

Ugh!

What's wrong with her?

She wanted to ride a horse and go swimming.

It would be great if we all had lunch together.

Otherwise I'll be gone all week.

Yes, sure...

Maybe you could set the table?

Ask your son or your brother. In the meantime, I'll take a shower.

But everything will be ready in about three minutes!

Start without me.

Listen... Rasmus!

Rasmus!

What the hell!

Your dad wanted something there.

Can you help me set the table?

But I've already cleared the dishes.

Then you won't get lunch. So help.

No, we can't allow this to happen. Let's help instead.

Take the plates and utensils,

and I'll choose something tasty to drink.

Clara, tell grandpa that the food is ready.

And don't bother grandma. She's got a migraine.

But...

What would be better here? Red or white?

Maybe some water?

Water? Come on!

It's a vacation!

Don't you always have vacation?

Actually, I'm working. I'm writing.

Yes, if a person really writes, then he works.

Try to relax a little at least once...

and be with my family, communicate with them,

and not pretend,

that you have a lot of other important things to do.

But I really have a lot of important things to do.

Important for whom?

What really matters most?

How boring you are, Yoel!

Family or career?

What do you think?

What do I think?

Oh yeah... You have neither one nor the other!

I'm asking what you think about this.

I have more things to think about.

Thank you, brother. True.

Thank you so much, damn it.

Yusefin.

Finally! Welcome to Gotland!

Come on, let's go. Come on, come on!

What is it? No, it's not necessary!

Hey, people! Be quiet for a minute!

Hey! Can you shut up?

I wanted to introduce you to our new star,

whom I persuaded to come and work for us.

Yusefine Sparre.

Who among you reads economic news?

Yeah, not that many people...

Then you've probably read...

her recent revealing article about the insurance industry,

which was then actively discussed.

She won a major journalism award and all that.

Read it. It's amazing.

Yusefina and Astrid...

Where the hell are you? Oh, over there. Come here, will you?

Astrid and Yusefine will work together.

Go home there,

so that they could sit together.

Do you know each other?

No. Astrid Pahlavi.

Yusefine Sparre. I'm a big fan of yours!

Likewise. Nice to meet you.

Is it true.

Then I guess I'll leave you alone.

Would you like to drink coffee?

With pleasure.

Summer residence of the Prime Minister.

If we do this,

then you need to call him right now.

I'll call from the street.

Thank you.

Damn, I really need to answer this. Watch the oven.

Will you do it? Thank you.

David.

Hi, Elvira! Yes, yes... It's okay.

Yes... Yes.

Listen, I want to talk to you about something.

But this is just between us.

"Of course, Your Grace. I will do just that."

"I will do everything in my power to ensure that Your Highness does not..."

Where is the food?

Yes, it will be soon.

It's just that your firstborn has another important call.

What is this?

If you eat this, you will die. Take care.

But Aya prepared something for you there, there is baby food there.

11 stomach ulcers,

and three of them involved bleeding.

No wonder he's such a grumbler.

Let's call! Great, thank you.

I'll be there soon, my dear, I'll be there soon!

Lena, are you sitting?

No, I landed a couple of minutes ago. Why?

What?!

What are you saying? It's just...

Of course, I'll do everything. See you soon.

What the hell, Yoel!

Is it really so hard to do at least one thing right just once?

What did they tell you?

I can't talk about it.

Even to your family?

Even to your family, dear.

But you know what, daughter?

Great things await us!

When everything works out,

You'll be the first to know about it.

Sorry.

Mom, are you awake?

No.

I just wanted to say goodbye.

Are you leaving?

Unfortunately, yes. I really need it.

The Prime Minister called me.

Is it true?

Yes.

But don't tell dad yet.

I'll tell you everything myself when everything works out.

You are such a clever girl!

Just don't burn out at work.

Of course not!

Take care of yourself.

I promise I will, Mom. Bye.

You can go further.

Would you be interested in this?

Have you met him?

Yes, that happened.

Look what I found. Or are you busy right now?

Busy, but keep going.

Okay.

Prime Minister Elvira Kropp invites you to a press conference.

The current Minister of Economy, David Erling, will be present .

Don't you think this is a little...

Strange.

Is it true?

Excuse me, but what's strange about it?

All party leaders usually speak at a press conference...

before his speech in Almedalen,

to tell what they will talk about.

And what will David Erling do there?

Now that's the question.

He might get fired.

Why is this?

There's something fishy here. We need to check it out.

Maybe you will?

Certainly.

There must be some shady dealings going on there.

Of course, I'll check everything!

Excellent! Cool.

Do you know him personally? David Erling?

Well... No.

We exchanged a few words a few times, but nothing more.

They say,

that he has a thing for young girls.

Okay... I see.

What's the matter?

Elvira is resigning.

Oh!

This is at least an "oops"!

She just called.

She said she would announce it on Thursday.

I need to go to Visby.

Lena will pick me up now.

Do you even understand what this means?

What's wrong? Aren't you happy?

Don't we all need to discuss this together?

What exactly?

We have several more people in the family.

Yes, but please...

You know how long I've been waiting for this.

You think when such a chance comes along...

Yeah, I'm just saying,

that we could discuss this.

If you are appointed head of the party or prime minister...

What will happen to Rasmus and Klara? Who will take care of them?

What the hell...

Everything will be fine.

Of course. But how?

Hello, hello!

Hello.

So it's you...

Lena Nilsdotter.

I am David's press secretary.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.

Well, I just didn't expect it.

I am Yoel, the brother of that very man.

You don't look much alike.

There is an explanation for this.

Then we'll talk next time.

Hello!

Thank you, everything is fine. I'll take it.

I believe great things await you.

Don't pay attention. He's an oppositionist.

Don't do anything stupid, brother.

The Erling name must not be tarnished.

As the saying goes...

Bye, darling. Daddy has to go.

Will you come on Saturday?

What will happen on Saturday?

I will be performing at the hippodrome.

Yeah, exactly... You know what?

It will be difficult, of course,

but I will try my best to come.

What do you mean you won't come?

For example, you also had to teach me how to drive.

Yes, we will do it next week.

Yeah, whatever.

I'll really try!

But now I have to leave. Bye!

Don't forget to call.

I'll call.

Every evening?

Rasmus? Rasmus...

Bye.

Rasmus...

Hey, Rasmus! Man!

Ouch! What's going on?

Are you okay?

I'm serious. Are you okay?

Why should I be here?

He doesn't have time for me anyway. I could stay with mom.

Buddy, it's not all that bad here, is it?

Your uncle Yoyo is with you.

I can drive with you. Why not?

You have no rights.

But I won't be driving.

What?

Grandfather is a famous lawyer,

and dad might become prime minister.

What could go wrong?

Tell me what she said.

That she's very exhausted and tired. She wants to give up her seat...

to his successor and give him time to get in the right frame of mind before the elections.

And you will be a part of this,

because she wants to choose you?

She didn't say it that directly,

but that's how people interpret it.

Yes-yes.

She also asked me to write a speech about how I see the future.

Not only the party, but the whole of Sweden.

And what questions interest me?

And how are we going to manage to do all this?

I could be wrong, of course, but...

If that's not what she means, then I don't understand anything.

Of course, that's why she does it.

We can't let anything go wrong.

We will do everything.

Dinner with Eric Hansen.

Yeah, right! Damn...

Is this necessary? Could you...

It won't work. I've already postponed this three times.

When we last met, he was burying his father.

So it won't be possible not to come.

How will we manage to do it all?

But dinner won't take up the whole evening.

David...

Hello!

You can start already, right?

Question / Disagreement.

Alternative.

Risk / Problem.

Consequences.

"Will the Prime Minister resign?"

Hello. David Erling.

I need to meet Eric Hansen.

Yes, Mr. Hansen is waiting for you inside.

Really? Wonderful. Thank you!

I'm sorry!

It's okay, Sarah.

Eric and I have known each other since childhood.

Mr. Hansen will be with you shortly.

Wonderful. Thank you so much.

Is it really beautiful?

To him...

I was passing by a gallery on Karlavägen and saw her in the window.

And then I realized it was mine. You can see who it is, right?

Yan Boklev. He invented the "V-style" in ski jumping.

Everyone laughed at him - both journalists and colleagues.

They called him an ugly duckling and all sorts of other names.

But he didn't care.

He simply jumped and flew further than all the other athletes.

About the same as you are in the field of economics.

There is, of course, a Freudian explanation for this ,

Why did I choose this particular painting?

of all the strange objects on the wall.

Let's have a drink.

How much!

Welcome.

Thank you. Thank you.

It was a long time ago.

Yeah, right.

It will be two years in September.

I'm really sorry.

I know you have a lot of things to do.

Just don't think about it,

that you are too good for that,

to communicate with ordinary people.

This does not apply to me.

We have something to talk about, sit down.

Listen, Eric, I...

I'll start with this,

that I will express my condolences to you.

I couldn't attend the funeral.

But dad said that everything went well.

Ah, screw it.

How are you doing?

Thank you, that's all...

I heard that you will be made the leader of the party after Elvira.

How do you know?

You see, I know everything.

Really? Well, yes.

I don't really know...

You are exactly what this faceless, stupid party needs.

They need someone who will engage with people in a way that

so that they understand you.

No, I'm not even the least bit surprised.

Let's see.

Admit it, that's what you planned from the start.

Maybe.

So I congratulate you.

There is no need to talk about this in advance yet.

No one can compete with you. Who, if not you?

If you don't disgrace yourself completely,

then soon you will become the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of the Swedes!

Let's drink to this.

"A business lawyer was offered a ministerial post."

How are you?

Did you find anything?

A little.

And how does it feel?

I mean, work here?

Okay. Things are different here.

But there aren't so many snobs here, are there?

How are things with your family?

Well...

You're not getting married?

No.

Ah, I see.

We want to go to Surfers and get something to eat. Want to come with us?

You can continue later.

But I just sat down.

And then I want to go to bed.

This makes sense.

It's going to be a tough week.

Listen.

Best wishes.

To him.

Exactly.

Fine...

Dan, are you coming?

Yes, I'm going.

If only Sergey could speak English better,

he could tell you,

that we have fresh lobster prepared for an appetizer,

caught in the Skagerrak Strait...

and delivered here on my cargo ship Lillian.

Eric, you didn't have to bother so much.

"When will you come?"

No way.

It was necessary. I don't often receive such important guests at my place.

So wait for the hot stuff.

Just a little bit.

I have a long day tomorrow.

This is a Burgundy wine from Chassagne.

Got it for 14 thousand at auction,

So drink and don't show off.

Otherwise I will take it as a personal insult.

Well, I see. What did you want to talk about?

I thought you had something especially important on your mind.

You know what I mean.

Yes, I understand.

But, unfortunately, I can’t do anything.

The safety regulations changed, so the port was closed.

We couldn't have foreseen this,

when we were constructing the building itself.

When you were building the building.

You were the one who designed everything throughout this entire business project.

I had hopes for you and your father,

when I bought the port for 240 million crowns.

Those were different times.

No one could know,

that everything will change so quickly.

That you won't even be able to rent it out to whoever you want.

Total crap happened.

And now it is impossible to sell this port.

If the sanctions are not lifted, then everything is lost.

And then I'm finished, David.

I have no idea how...

Just go ahead and do it!

Tell them it's about jobs,

That sparsely populated areas need to somehow survive. Come up with something!

When the newspapers start digging up...

There is no need to do this now.

It's not time yet.

Wait until you become prime minister.

But even then it will be quite dangerous.

I will be accused of bias.

And even if I don’t break the law in any way,

some facts will emerge there,

which it is better for no one to know about.

And then it won't do any good to you or me.

Isn't that right?

We will work together.

That's why you're here with me now .

We'll sit down and discuss,

How can we solve this problem?

I can't take a single step without it,

that someone will stop me and thank me.

Do you even understand?

How many people will lose their jobs?

Let's talk another time then. I need to sleep.

No, you're not going anywhere. It's still childish time!

Just one at a time!

Yes, one at a time.

Who knows, maybe we'll have two drinks since we've already come here.

Eric, wait.

I have to get up very early tomorrow.

David, let's go and have a party like in the old days,

until those damn feminists came along and ruined everything.

Let's go.

Guess.

David...

He's with me. We'll drink champagne.

Come with me.

Hey girls! Thanks for last night.

"What's going on? We have to write you a speech!"

Now say hello to David. He's a real star!

I rented a private booth.

Let's go, let's go! What are you waiting for?

Free champagne, as much as you want! Come with me!

It's just... Sorry.

Go straight ahead. It's down there.

Oh, that's so cool!

There's room for all the girls!

"I'll be there soon!"

David, come here and sit down!

Hello! Welcome!

Yes, it's really great here!

Club Gutteschällaren, 1 minute ago.

Please, please.

I pour to the brim, I remember you!

Here you go. I hope you like it.

And here's another one, I see.

Hello!

Hello!

My name is Vanya.

And I'm David.

I know!

Please.

Shall we have a drink?

How much!

What would your wife say if she saw,

How are we drinking champagne here?

I'm not worried about my wife right now.

We can go somewhere else, where it's quieter.

I would love to listen,

What do you think about corporate taxes?

That would be really great,

but some other time.

I need to go home.

I must take my leave.

Are you leaving already?

Yes, I have to get up in 3 hours.

I need to get at least a little sleep.

Thank you so much for this evening!

See you, call each other and all that.

Bye...

Is this cool enough?

Damn, this is so cool!

Look what Yusefina sent me.

Damn, Lena...

Hello...

Hello.

What are you doing here?

You said,

that you want to meet again...

Yes, but I thought that sometime later.

Measures.

You can stay for a while.

Yes, with pleasure.

Listen...

Just wait here.

No...

No no!

Hey!

Are you sleeping?

I... You...

I think you better leave. Do you hear me?

What's happened?

What? What?!

What the hell...

What to bring?

What the hell!

What to do?

Is this it?

Is this it? Wait, wait!

I need to see what...

What kind of crap is written?

"Outer thigh".

Crap!

Okay...
