Amanda?

-Let's do that last bit again. -Yes.

And go.

I'm using my You De-Stress Nanok Serum,

my go-to serum at the moment.

We are getting ready for fashion week.

We're beauty partners at Maya Hartvig's show,

which I am very excited about.

Don't forget the neck, and you're ready to take on the day.

-How long do we have? -The taxi will be here in 30 minutes.

-So you want to talk to our lawyer. -To review Fournier's contract.

-Doesn't Fournier expect us to sign? -I've told him I can't do it now.

-But Amanda... -They take companies like ours apart!

-Who told you that? -That woman Trisse.

Do you trust someone you've known for five minutes more than us?

-Yes. -Mom. Mom, let's go.

PROS AND CONS

Nina, what is "klyvers"?

A triangular sail, plural, indefinite, genitive case.

You just googled that.

... require blood tests and an electrocardiogram...

I don't want to, Mom.

Just ring the bell and say:

"Would you like to buy a raffle ticket and support the curling club?"

-Can't you and Dad buy them? -No.

-I don't want to ring doorbells. -Well, you have to.

After school, okay? Don't forget your hat.

And your keys. There you go, sweetie.

Or you could go to the candy store.

People are child-friendly and they have money. Would you rather do that?

-I just don't want to. -There you go.

Have a nice day.

-I just need a hairbrush. -Knock, will you?

-You have to go now. -Yes, I know!

What's wrong? Is it diarrhoea?

-No! Let me have some privacy. -Fix the lock then. I'll get Patrick.

Patrick, you have to go now.

Esther has gone with Amanda to see the lawyer.

-You need to go. -Right.

-Did you sleep okay out here? -Well...

The first train came at 4:35 a.m., so I'm gonna buy some earplugs.

-Excuse me? -The first train came at...

Amanda is holding Fournier off, so lure her to go to ShuiYue.

She's to meet Erik, ShuiYue's new buyer, and you're his assistant.

Which language? Not Chinese, I hope.

I grew up in Hong Kong. My dad was Belgian, my mom English, so English.

Just follow my lead.

-What's your name? -My name is David Vandenbosch.

Please tell me it's not some soccer player's name.

Erik, we need to get millions from Fournier. You can't...

Maybe I don't want to be a millionaire with you.

You're beautiful. I'm proud to be the father of your children...

-You're mad because I got 242 points. -Yes, because you googled it.

-What do you think? -You look like a groom.

-Thanks. Double-check the contract. -I'll take another look.

But Fournier is hardly trying to cheat you.

I need to be sure.

Let me know when you've looked it over. I have to get back to them.

Right...

Sir.

-Do you have plans tomorrow evening? -I'm looking after my mom's dog.

Want to go to Maya Hartvig's show?

I think my mom can find someone.

I don't have time for this.

Let's... make a call. Excuse me.

There doesn't seem to be an error. We'll reset the system.

What is she saying?

-It will just take a minute. -Thank you.

-Now, that's a lovely fragrance. -Thank you. It's my day cream.

-Which one is that? -It's called You by Amanda.

Yes. The Danish brand. Sorry if I was being too forward.

-I have a very delicate nose. -No, it's just... It's her brand.

You are Amanda?

No way. You are Amanda? The Amanda?

-Hi. I am David Vandenbosch. -Amanda.

-So this is you? -My skincare, yes. I'm wearing it.

It is taking very good care of you. I can see that.

Very delicate. And it's fragile.

There's a sort of purity to it.

It's made from herbs and seaweed from Greenland.

Yes, I read that somewhere. That's very good.

The system has been reset.

Here we go.

Jan, give the ladies my card, please.

There you go.

Well, here we go.

Oh, he's with ShuiYue.

My lotions are based on nutritional seaweed and angelica

because I want to give women that feeling of purity

without cutting back on luxury.

Give yourself that extra lift to become the best version of yourself.

Or is that just me?

-How many have you sold? -Eight.

-That's not a lot. -What about you?

-All of them. -That's a lie.

-My dad bought the whole lot. -Do you think he'll buy mine, too?

No. Go stand in front of the candy store. It's busy.

-Do you want to buy a raffle ticket? -What for?

My curling club. You can win a supermarket voucher.

I never win anything.

-Do you want to buy a raffle ticket? -No thank you.

A raffle ticket?

FOR SALE

-Did you sell any tickets? -Nobody wanted to buy any.

-You'll have to ring doorbells, then. -I don't want to.

That's life. You have to work for it.

-Can't you buy them? -No, I can't.

Mini's dad bought all his.

Well, we can't afford it and that's how it's supposed to be.

-But I don't want to. -Well...

I'll get it. Go get a shower.

Hello, Mads.

-I was in the neighborhood. -Is something the matter?

-I need to go over something. -Sure, come in.

-Busy? -I have an appointment in two hours.

I need to buy a changing table.

In fact, I have a whole list.

Nursing pillow, baby alarm,

diaper pail, bags for the pail, a baby pillow and a diaper bag.

The main thing is the changing table. Thanks.

They have two models. Olaf is a test winner.

The drawers have safety locks to protect the child's fingers.

That's the premium model with felt grips.

We think it's nicer looking,

but it doesn't have safety locks.

The most important thing is to keep the baby from falling down.

What do you do if that happens?

You pick it up, Mads.

They want to make you think that you need all these things.

Your baby needs milk and love. That's all.

We don't want to deprive it of anything.

Mads, you're going to be a great dad.

-Hi. -Hi, little man.

-Do you have a very expensive car? -Did your dad say that?

-No, I didn't. -Do you want to buy raffle tickets?

They are only 20 kroner. You can win a supermarket voucher.

Mads isn't here to buy raffle tickets.

-How many do you need to sell? -50.

Mads, don't. He's just too lazy to go from door to door.

Let's do it this way...

It's Kaj, right?

I'll give you 1000 kroner.

Don't give him 1000 kroner, Mads!

He won't do it if he doesn't get anything out of it.

Give me half of what you sell.

That's my investment. The rest is yours.

There's the social element of supporting your club.

-Can I show the others? -No. Put it in your piggy bank.

Well, I'd better get home.

Thanks, Erik. Let me know if there's anything I can do.

Mads?

Your expensive car... Does it have plans tomorrow tonight?

Why?

I'm going to a fashion show.

-It won't do. Go to Copenhagen. -But she postponed it.

I don't give a shit. Postponed why?

They said it was...

...due to a tight schedule...

Go to the fashion week. You represent the brand.

And keep an eye on her. I want to know what's going on.

No myocardial ischemia.

No anginal chest pains brought on by exertion.

It is not spreading to the neck,

the back, teeth, axilla, or the left and/or right arm.

We assume it's primary hypertension.

Does that mean I've had a coronary thrombosis?

No. Let's see what it says here.

Are you all right, Erik?

Your system is under pressure.

Do you often have to perform at work?

That's when I'm best, but it's never been a problem.

Try to avoid situations like that if you can.

I can't. I have to secure a big client. I'm have to perform.

Take these beta-blockers but only for a period of time.

Come back next week for an ultrasound of your heart.

We are looking after you.

Erik? That's the man whose daughter was in Bolivia.

So it is.

Hello. Good to see you.

-Hello again. -Are you here?

-Did you get her home safely? -Yes. Thank you. We're very grateful.

-Ivo Janosch, you're next. -Right.

They are missing a pianist in there.

Are you ill?

No, it's just a check-up.

-Will I get my money soon? -Yes.

-Patrick and I... -Patrick?

You brought Patrick in on it? Quite the family affair, eh?

Kirsten?

See you.

Hi.

I can't wait to get this over with so I can get back to school.

You are good, though.

And seeing your dad do his thing in the elevator...

It's insane. He can play anyone.

I think he overdoes it.

Dinner in ten minutes.

7.9 million?

It's really nice. Architect-designed.

The neighborhood is beautiful. There's a sea view. It's brand new.

-But... -Really far from the train.

-We need to get the money first. -How long will it take?

-It's ready. Set the table, please. -I'm talking about the job.

Well, it takes as long as it takes.

-You were supposed to babysit Kaj. -Amanda invited me to the show.

-You could have declined. -Dad said to go with the flow.

-Hi, Dad. I brought Pelle over. -Do you want dinner?

-What are you having? -Let's find out.

You wanted me to be a part of it. What is our share? I work full time.

-It's only fair we get our share. -Not in front of Kaj.

Wash your hands and put your bags away.

-There's two of us. That's half. -We don't discuss it in front of Kaj.

Will you lie to him until you die and let me tell him what you are?

Set the table.

-We won't be paid for that either... -You had 15 million.

If you want this to be over fast, then do as I tell you.

Let's keep it civil. Esther has done a great job.

Thanks, Dad.

Now she's going to the fashion show. What about Kaj?

She's established a relation with Amanda. That may come in handy.

Stick to our agreements. Otherwise I can't make it fly.

Let's try a proper parenting approach, Nina.

-We should encourage our children. -This family...

-It looks delicious. -Thank you, Patrick.

-What's that? -Seaweed. It's very healthy.

Look. We're having seaweed.

Seaweed?

-I don't like green stuff. -We have red and yellow stuff too.

Seaweed is actually kind of black.

Let's eat and then we'll talk.

Kaj?

Kaj?

Kaj!

This is Leopoldine Amande. This is Frédéric le Grandjean.

They are employed by Fournier.

At the fashion show they need to see Amanda talking to their competitor.

David Vandenbosch.

Let's place Amanda and her crew here.

Everyone needs to think that David Vandenbosch represents

the major Chinese brand ShuiYue.

Put ShuiYue here.

-Then there's Beatrice Collin. -Who is she?

An very influential fashion writer.

-Put Beatrice Collin here. -Got it.

What about the real ShuiYue representatives?

Wang and Zhou.

You're going to deal with them.

-Do I poison them? -No, it's just a laxative.

I'll drop Kaj off at curling tomorrow, and he'll sleep at Mini's.

-Leopoldine Armand. -Frédéric le Grandjean.

-We are from Fournier. -Right.

The people from Fournier are here.

-Welcome to Copenhagen. -Thank you.

Zhou and Wang from ShuiYue.

Then I have a welcome package for you, sir.

-Also one for you. -Thank you.

Your VIP passes. And for you as well.

You go home with Mini afterwards while Dad and I are at the party.

-What about my eczema? -Your lotion is in your bag.

It's okay if you don't put it on. You can skip one day.

-Hi, Kaj. -Thanks for looking after him.

We're happy to help when mom and dad want to party.

I packed his toothbrush, and please put his glasses in the case...

-And pants in case they play outside. -I don't think that'll happen.

-We operate with screen time. -We do that a lot as well.

-As in no screen time. -Dad...

I'm talking to Kaj's mom. You can see, right? Just wait.

-Call me if there are problems. -There won't be. Have a nice evening.

-What is it? -Can we go to the candy store?

-We can do that. -Yes.

Room service.

How much are we allowed to take?

-Knock yourself out. -Come on, Kaj!

These are good, too.

-Did you order the taxi? -The hotel bikes are at our disposal.

-What? Bikes?! -That's the Copenhagen way.

We can't go to a fashion show on bikes!

There's some champagne for you.

-Thank you. -Enjoy.

Thank you very much.

Hi, Beatrice.

I'm very excited to see what you have for us, Maya.

Sorry. I had to take care of something.

-Amanda, do you have a moment? -Of course. Take this. Is this okay?

-Hello, Amanda. -Greetings from Mr. Fournier.

He was surprised that you chose to postpone the agreement.

I'm sorry. It's just right now, I have to...

Let us know if you have any adjustments.

No, no, I just want to give it my full attention.

Right now, everything is just... I hope to see you again later. Enjoy.

I have to say it one more time:

I'm really proud to be working with you, Dad.

Jacqueline always talked about you as if you were Jesus. Or Mozart.

Or Chuck Norris.

Mads, do you know anything about beta-blockers?

Yes.

Beta-blockers prevent beta-receptors from being stimulated by adrenaline.

They're given to people who suffer from cardiovascular disease.

They've also become a popular study drug. Why do you ask?

Patrick, let's keep this between us. I don't want Esther to know about it.

I suffer from atrial fibrillation.

The doctor says it's stress-related.

You need to take that seriously. I've seen how it affects people.

You know what? You should meditate.

All the CEOs do it. Recline your seat. Use the button.

-Find a comfortable seated position. -Take my hat, Patrick.

Feel a sense of awareness and dignity.

Turn your awareness inward

and connect with your entire body.

Feel your body

and follow your breathing.

Every breath...

-Do you know what ShuiYue means? -No.

It means water, moon.

"An untouchable beauty."

"Like the moon's reflection on water."

-Who are those people from ShuiYue? -I don't know.

-Don't they send Zhou and Wang? -They were in Milan.

Hurry up, damn it.

I can't go anywhere.

Gee... Did you see that?!

Here comes the clown.

Go down there.

So how do we like it so far?

Excuse me, have we met before?

-I'm David Vandenbosch. -Isn't ShuiYue supposed to sit there?

I am ShuiYue. I've been tucked away in Asia for years,

but now Mr. Haitao has made me his eyes and ears and nose in Europe.

I see. Pleased to meet you. I'm Beatrice Collin.

Who wouldn't know who Beatrice Collin is?

Pleasure.

That's her... Trisse.

Why doesn't she have a seat?

-Who cares? Do you need to know? -It's strange to just stand there.

Alright, Damien. Just enjoy the show.

Come and get me Dad, I want to go home.

-What are you feeling? -I was just texting Mr. Haitao.

I think it's restless and I think it's edgy

and I think it's daring.

-Hi, Beatrice. Nice to see you. -You too.

-Who was the man next to you? -Haitao's new guy in Europe.

-From ShuiYue? -Yes, the competition.

Keep your battles in the boardroom. Tonight we celebrate.

Why haven't we heard about ShuiYue's new representatives?

-Hi, Jeppe. Is something wrong? -No, we're having fun.

Kaj has been texting and calling. Is he okay?

They're watching a movie.

It's late. Maybe they should go to...

You just have fun, okay?

Okay, thanks. Have a nice evening.

There's blood all over...

Hi! Let's continue later.

-It's so great to see you. -Hello.

I didn't really see Maya in it. It's lacking an edge.

The man next to Beatrice Collin, did you notice him?

-Yes, of course. David Vandenbosch. -Do you know him?

Who doesn't know David Vandenbosch? He was with Chanel a few years back.

Then ShuiYue snapped him up. Why?

We got stuck in an elevator with him.

Really?

He is their head of brand acquisition. scouting for new brands.

I know people who would die to be stuck in an elevator with him.

-Did you talk to him? -No, the time wasn't right.

Well, it's not too late. Go get him.

Yes. I'll be back.

She's coming.

Fuck! Your mustache is falling off.

Hello.

-Hello. -Hi!

I so hoped to see you again.

-What did you think of the show? -Marvellous.

-Maya Hartvig is amazing. -I'm not talking about Maya Hartvig.

I've had something on my mind since I met you in that elevator.

May I have ten minutes of your precious time?

Well, of course.

Perhaps we should find somewhere more quiet.

Absolutely.

That's enough, honey.

Denmark is a small country, but you have spirit.

And then you have this... What was it called, Jan?

The word you're looking for is "hugge".

-"Hygge". -I can't say it.

I love it, but this is not hygge. Now we're talking business.

Scandinavia is a big thing in the world of beauty and all over Asia.

Chinese women want the purity of your brand.

I haven't focused on the Asian market yet, actually.

You'll hit them like a tsunami.

Sorry. I did not just say that. But I am being serious.

-Are you enjoying your new job? -Very.

I've never seen Amanda so pleased with a new employee before.

-Hi, Esther. -Hi, Mille.

-What are you doing here? -I work for Amanda with Damien here.

Amanda? How cool.

We were in the middle of something. We'll talk later.

Sorry. I'll call you. It was nice to see you.

That was a girl from high school. Extremely annoying.

-But she called you Esther. -Yes.

My name is Esther Victoria Borchert. My parents loved the name Esther.

I don't like it. No one's called me that in a long time.

I get it.

If you would care to dance with ShuiYue

I am sure Mr. Haitao would make you a very, very generous offer.

Mr. Vandenbosch, before you go any further...

I fought eight years to create Amanda.

And Amanda is built upon a vision of strong values.

I'm not gonna compromise on this.

-Do you know why it's called ShuiYue? -No.

It means something that is beautiful

yet an unattainable dream.

Beauty that cannot be reached.

Like the moon reflected in the mirror of a lake.

In Asia we have the idea that everything has a spirit.

And the spirit of your company is you.

I will be here for a couple of days. I'd love to set up a meeting.

-Did you see anything? -They are up there.

-What are they doing? -Let's take a picture.

-You're negotiating with ShuiYue now? -I just agreed to a meeting.

No. What are you thinking? What will the board say?

You look like you need a refill. So do I. Get us some, will you?

-Sure. -I'll go with him.

-This is not good. -Fournier is not going to be pleased.

His name is David Vandenbosch. He's from ShuiYue.

Hello?

Hello? Monsieur Fournier?

I know when a woman is unfaithful to me.

What was his name again?

Vanbosch? No, no, no, no.

We were unavoidably detained, so we didn't attend the show.

Vanbosch? Well, it certainly wasn't us.

He has nothing to do with us. Okay, fine.
