So you both had stomach cramps?

It must've been in the champagne.
I collected some of the sediment.

There's a powdered substance in it.

Have this examined.

And you know nothing about
this Vandenbosch fellow?

No. But he claims to be from ShuiYue,
so shouldn't we contact the police?

First, we'll do
our own investigations.

Get hold of all the photos you can
from the fashion show.

Scrutinize Instagram,
bloggers, social media.

We need to know absolutely everything
about this "Vandenbosch"!

Good morning, Vandenbosch.

Good morning, little lady.

You were incredible last night.

And I can be even better.

That'll be Kaj.

PROS AND CONS

-So everything went well?
-Sure, they had a blast.

-But they eventually fell asleep...?
-I doubt it.

-We did an all-nighter.
-So, you're off to Lake Garda?

-Lake Garda?
-You got a camper. So, Lake Garda?

Ah! No, we don't have a car, so...
It broke down last year.

My buddy's got an Audi A6 for sale.
Leather, latest tech.

Matte-black Batmobile-ish.
How about it?

The finances, you know.
I'll get back to you, okay?

Sure.
We're off to Dino Park. Say goodbye.

See you, Kaj.

-Thanks again, Jeppe.
-Anytime.

So you didn't sleep at all?

We drank Monsters.

But you had a good time?

-Why did you watch a scary movie?
-Mini and Pelle wanted to.

You need to stop and think
if you want to.

-What was it about?
-He shouldn't dwell on that.

Why not? It could be good
to talk about it... I mean...

It was about a clown
that took children.

And then he killed them and ate them.

And one boy had his arm torn off

by someone without a head.

-You must learn to say no.
-That's hard when you're 10, honey.

-Saying no to boys like that.
-They'll call me "chicken".

-Exactly.
-They're your friends. They won't.

We should talk to Pelle's mom
and ask if she thinks it's okay...

No, don't say anything.

I need to ask the other parents if
they think movies like that are okay.

-Don't say anything!
-We won't, sweetie.

Let's just calm down.
I mean...

Everything'll be fine.
Okay?

Amanda, we're so close with Fournier.

But now you've invited ShuiYue
to a meeting this afternoon?

The French will be here, too.
What will you tell them?

Amanda?
What do you wanna do?

So Amanda is pitting us against
ShuiYue?

I don't know.

-Well, you'd better find out.
-Okay.

I don't want to see you
until Amanda's signed the contract.

We'll stay as long as is needed.

And lean on her at today's meeting!

Absolutely. Thank you.

The message was clear. We cannot lose
Amanda, especially not to ShuiYue.

So we'll have to stay in Copenhagen?

Why is everyone so obsessed
with the Scandinavians?

That whole New Nordic...
It's cold, flat as a crêpe.

-It constantly rains and snows...
-Alright! But we must get Amanda.

Are you scared of Fournier?

You'd be scared, too,
if you'd seen what I've seen.

What Fournier wants, Fournier gets.

...revised draft proposal
for merger...

Erik?

You called?

I found emails between
Amanda and Fournier.

They're offering 50M euros.
You must match that at the meeting.

-And match their contract.
-Okay.

The lingo in this thing...

"The references to the statutes
reference the statutory..."

I'm completely in over my head here.

-You should've thought about that.
-I'll manage.

No. You'll have to learn that stuff.
Amanda and her team must buy it.

-So you can't just wing it.
-Who did you marry again?

No! You'll be facing people
who know that lingo. Erik!

Well, we have a little something
we didn't get around to.

-Hi, Amanda.
-Is this a bad time?

-No, it's quite alright.
-Okay. Got a sec?

One moment, please.

William, I'm stepping out
for a few minutes.

Just a second, Amanda.

I had the best time yesterday.

Yes, it was a riot.

I'm sorry if I...

Damn it.

There. All alone now.

I just need to run something by you.

I've invited Vandenbosch from ShuiYue
to a meeting.

Great.
That's very exciting.

But Fournier's people are expecting

to close the deal today.
Was it a mistake to talk to ShuiYue?

Don't feel bad about it.
Have the meeting with Vandenbosch.

I know it requires great courage,
what you're doing right now.

I don't know what I'm doing.
With the company, with my life...

I've felt like that a million times.

And I've had so many doubts about
what I wanted in life.

Okay, maybe Damien's right.

I should be happy with Fournier...

Amanda, stop.
What time is the meeting?

-2 p.m.
-William?

What time is the meeting with Morten?

-At 1 p.m.
-Why don't I rearrange my schedule?

-I can join you.
-No...

Amanda, hang on. William.

Please tell Morten and Tonja
they'll have to manage without me.

Yes.

I'll be there, Amanda.

Let's see if this Vandenbosch fellow
is serious.

Thank you so much.

-Thank you!
-Don't mention it. See you.

Bye-bye.

"The references to the statutes
reference the statutory..."

-Excuse us.
-We saw it online. Do you live here?

No.
No, no, I just...

-It looks bigger in real life.
-It looks great. Let's buy it.

Look at those windows.

I don't mean to meddle, but I find
it appalling that it's on the market.

-Did you see the technical report?
-Is something wrong with it?

This used to be a petrol depot.

-It's nicknamed "The Can".
-The report doesn't mention petrol.

My sister bid on it. They got out of
it because her hubby's a lawyer.

So he fixed it. I mean, it's a lovely
neighborhood. I raised two kids here.

Loads and loads of lovely homes,
but I'd stay clear of that one.

-But the pictures were so nice.
-Yeah, that's how it works.

But it's a lifetime of mortgages
on a house you can never unload.

The sort of stuff that can break up
a marriage and wreck a family.

-Thanks.
-Sure.

Okay, so this is Fournier's
acquisition offer for Amanda.

We must match it, but the lingo:

"Any subordinate legislation
made under such..."

-It's gibberish. We have three hours.
-How did you get this?

-It's highly confidential.
-Nina has access to Amanda's PC.

Our plan is
to make Amanda choose us and ShuiYue.

We then offer her back
to the French for 4M euros.

So I have to get Amanda.

But I mean "subordinate"!
They'll know I'm bluffing.

-Well, don't you always?
-Not like things are now.

-With my heart and everything.
-Do you remember to meditate?

Yeah...

-Are you only meeting her?
-No.

Esther says she'll bring her partner
and her lawyer.

And Nina has found a way in,
but on their side of the table.

-You can't go alone.
-I'll bring Patrick.

ShuiYue would send
their head of acquisitions.

I don't have him.

Mads, you know the lingo.

I run a company with revenues
in the three-digit million range.

Yes.

-I can't risk being recognized.
-I'll disguise you.

I'll be running the meeting. You just
need to sit there and look authentic.

Hello!

-Mr. Vandenbosch, welcome...
-Amanda.

...to Amanda.

-So good to see you.
-Thank you.

I've brought along my assistant,
Jan, and this is...

Matthew. Matthew Conrad.
Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.
Well, please join us.

Absolutely.

Oh, nice.

This is nice, isn't it?

I want to start by saying I just
love this place. It's beautiful!

It's so raw, and what is that?

This is actually a piece
of my fell in Greenland,

where we pick the angelica
for the products.

-Maybe we should get...
-Of course, of course. Yes.

I want to say that Mr. Haitao
is so excited about this meeting.

Me, too.

And the thing is,
when Mr. Haitao is excited

he's ready to give you
a very precious handshake.

This country is rich in beautiful
women. I mean the three of you...

Mr. Vandenbosch, I'm sorry
to stop you and get to the point

but we need to make sure this is
not just hot air and sweet talk.

So before we go any further

how precious is this handshake
you're talking about?

I love your approach, Damien.
We're gonna start negotiations at...

75 million.

And is that in Danish crowns?

No, no. Danish Crown
produces bacon from dead pigs.

We're talking beauty here.
It's 75M euros.

-That's a nice number.
-More than that.

-Please excuse us.
-Absolutely.

I love the sound of your language.

Damien, it's 50% more
than our French friend.

But we must see something concrete,
if we're to cancel the other meeting.

There are some murky points
I want to run by our lawyers.

May I?
I just have a few questions.

Yes.

We have a very strong interest
in protecting the Amanda brand

all the way through supply chain,
production and marketing.

So what are the terms here?

Jan? The terms are,
of course, superb.

In this...
contract of legislations...

-Sorry, what?
-The legislations are... yes?

Listen.

The Amanda brand is not just a
name for you to use as you like.

-I will not accept that.
-Of course not, darling. No, no, no.

We are... and let me just...
Thank you, Jan.

We... uhm... I'm just gonna...

ShuiYue is vertically integrated.

We produce, distribute,
market and sell.

But Amanda retains all visionary
and creative decision-making.

What about financial
decision-making?

Jan, please.

As it is apparent
from the shareholder agreement

you will have absolute authority
with regards to defining

and positioning Amanda.

So you're offering an investment
agreement equal to 10%

of the purchase price?

Yes. We want to ensure
a strong cash flow

for you to develop the Amanda
brand and product lines

according to your wishes...
Amanda.

I am so grateful that you were here.

-Oh, don't mention it.
-What do I tell Fournier's people?

That you've had a better offer.
There's nothing to consider here.

Okay.

Stay close to her today.

Damn, Mads was off the charts.

And that was your luck.
You could've warned me.

-We needed him. He spoke the lingo.
-Or you could've done your homework.

Don't make plans tonight. You're off
to get two Frenchmen on the hook.

-Yes, of course.
-Patrick?

You have a big job. Make the French
understand they can have Amanda back.

-Sure. Understood.
-Good.

-What happened? You were nervous.
-No, I wasn't.

-Sure, you were.
-No way. I seriously wasn't. Hey...

We've got her!

-Mommy!
-I'm coming, Kaj.

I'd better go get some groceries.

-Who's that?
-Kenned. The craftsman.

-With a quote on the home makeover.
-Now?

Yes. I want an appraisal
on the house.

You usually catch the bear
before selling its skin.

Then the other house will be sold
from right under our noses.

It'll be a decade before a house
like that is on the market again.

And we'll soon have 15M.

-Mommy?
-Coming! You can come shopping.

I just need to talk to Kenned.

Great that you could come.
I want to put a realtor on this

so there's this pipe from the
problem with the dishwasher way back.

So if you could close that gap?

I thought you were expanding
and putting in golden toilets.

Things have changed. We'd like
to sell to get away from the tracks.

I'd say.

It's a mess.

Just fix it so that it doesn't
drag the price down.

I asked my husband to fix it,
but nothing's happening.

That plumbing's not too great either.
It should be fixed.

-But we're moving on.
-And when the new owners find out?

They'll have
their homebuyer's insurance.

It's on you if you know the damage
is there at the time of selling.

I didn't know.

I just told you that your plumbing...

How much, Kenned?

-It would have to be undeclared.
-Mommy!

Coming!

Just let me know what it'll cost.
When can you start?

-Look.
-David Vandenbosch.

No one knows anything about him.

But several medias state
he's from ShuiYue.

Check if we can trace his phone.

And run a facial recognition.
We will find this Vandenbosch.

Sense your whole body

with awareness and dignity.

Turn your awareness inwards

and feel that you are one
with your whole body.

Lie down.

Every breath is a new breath.

Your body is breathing
and you are sensing it.

Become aware of your breathing.

Sense your breathing.

Without changing it.

Behind your navel, there is
a golden, shining lotus flower.

Hi, Jacqueline.

Hi, Patrick.

-Isn't Erik home?
-Apparently not.

Is he sick?
Why was he at the hospital?

I don't know.

We're meeting the French to convince
them to pay up to get Amanda back.

Jacqueline, I know you gave me
everything and taught me everything -

and took care of me,
and then we just ran off and...

-Yes.
-Yes...

I hear you've found love...

It kinda makes one make
some odd choices.

-So you've joined them.
-Well, yeah...

You taught me well.

Does your guy, Ivo,
know what you're up to?

No, he doesn't,
and he won't find out.

I only have one thing to say.

You cannot have love without honesty.

Please tell them I'd like to know
when we can settle up.

-Sure.
-Good.

They had energy drinks and watched
a movie with scary clowns.

-Seriously?
-Yes. Kaj was a wreck.

Pelle said that when Jeppe took them
to the tournament, he drove 180 km/h.

What?
He drove 180 km/h?

-I'll ask Pelle about it.
-Are you coming to the meeting?

-Yes.
-I'll raise it then. 180!

We have a responsibility
for each other's kids.

Explain to us
what are you talking about?

You need to relax.

Do you know what's going on?

I thought she was selling to
Fournier, but now it's ShuiYue?

She doesn't tell me everything, so...

-We're being kept in the dark.
-Yeah, well, I don't know anything.

So did she tell the French
she'd gotten a better offer?

I don't know. But they looked like
they could scream as they walked out.

Awesome.

-Getting closer. You did great.
-Damn straight.

The atmosphere there is horrible
because of you two.

After dinner, Dad will give Amanda to
Fournier, and everyone'll be happy.

Wasn't it fun to see your folks
rocking it out in disguises?

-By the way...
-And what about when Patricia's gone?

Amanda thinks you're really close.
I mean, this is sociopathic.

Remember what we talked about
on Tuesday. Do you remember?

-Pelle?
-No...

-Mini?
-Uhm... no.

So none of you.
It was communication.

Kaj's the captain. Mini is his eyes.
You must communicate to Kaj. Okay?

Good. Let's go.
Come on.

Come.

I sold a price ticket for 1000
kroner to my parents' rich friend.

-Chicken.
-What?

Why did you rat us out to your mom?

Pelle!
Mini... What are you doing? Come on!

-We're communicating.
-Oh.

-Chicken.
-Chicken.

Sweetie, I'm sorry
people will get upset at the office

but Mom and I are going up against
a greedy French aristocrat

who's brainwashed women into thinking
they need his poisonous lotion.

We're doing our utmost
to give you a good life.

-By the way...
-When will I be done?

Shortly. And then we'll be
good old Mom and Dad again.

I need to get back to high school.

I can't get crappy grades
if I want to go to law school.

-You're gonna go to law school?
-Yes.

-Law school...
-Wow. That makes me all proud.

I'll help you with your exams,
I promise.

I need to say something, too.

-Jacqueline told me to say...
-When did you see her?

She came by. She wants to settle up.

We'll be done shortly,
and Jacqueline will get her money.

-And you'll be back in high school.
-Sweetie. Just in time for dinner.

-Are you hungry?
-Why did you have to say anything?

-What?
-They're calling me names.

They're calling me chicken.
Why did you have to meddle?

Sweetie, I have to meddle
when it's about horror movies,

energy drinks
and racing in Jeppe's car.

I'm your mom, and a mom
should watch over her child.

Give me a hug.

Esther, we're trying
to make a good family...

Great, Dad.

-We should get ready.
-Yes.

I get really angry
at Mom and Dad too sometimes.

They're not always
very good parents.

But unfortunately,
we can't exchange them.

I think Esther is in a bit of a
dilemma. Like in "Godfather"...

He struggles with
a rather dodgy social heritage.

That must be in at all times
so that we can communicate.

Ready?

A less dramatic reaction.
We want it to be believable.

If I hit you from the right, the head
follows, and likewise from the left.

Keep it loose.

Like that.
Or left. Great.

Keep this blood capsule under your
upper lip. Don't break it too early.

When I've hit you, you're alone
with them and it's up to you

to tell them the truth
about Vandenbosch.

The French must believe David is
so desperate they can buy him off.

This is a disaster.

What do you think he will do?

I'm afraid to think about it.

-They're ready.
-I can't find the capsule.

-Is it in your pocket?
-I thought so.

Patrick, move in now.

Are you there?

David, listen to me, please.

Your job is to shut up and do
whatever the fuck I want you to do!

-Yes.
-Thank you.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
A double Scotch please, my good man.

Thank you.
Can you get me a taxi?

-Listen to me.
-Get me a taxi.

I won't cover for you any longer.
What should I say to Mr. Haitao?

You tell Mr. Haitao nothing!

Did he just say:
"Tell Mr. Haitao nothing."?

-Oh, my God...
-Aw, dammit!

-You hit me for real.
-It should look real.

Gin-tonic, please.

Thank you.

The check, please.

-Excuse me. Are you alright?
-I'm okay, thank you.

-What is your partner doing?
-He's not my freakin' partner.

-Oh, so what is he?
-He's a mess, that's what he is.

His name is David Vandenbosch.
He works for ShuiYue.

Why are you asking me questions
about him if you already know him?

Thank you.

You seemed to have a disagreement.
What was it?

We work in the same business.
We're just being kind.

-You can't say this to anyone.
-No, no. Of course not.

You see, Vandenbosch is a
superstar in the world of beauty.

But there's another dark side to
it. He has a heavy gambling problem.

He finds poker games
wherever we go.

He's probably losing another
10,000 euros. Last week in Berlin

15,000 euros.
I can't believe him.

-He's a heavy gambler.
-Yeah, a totally heavy gambler.

He has a family, I know his wife
and his children. A beautiful family.

And he's just lying to them.
Just lying.

Doing fine, Patrick.

Do you know if Mr. Haitao
knows about it?

Mr. Hai... No. Vandenbosch uses
money from the company

and I had to lie to Mr. Haitao.

And Vandenbosch owes 4M euros

to the triads in Beijing, and they
will hunt him, that's for sure.

There's no way he can get
that money. No freakin' way.

Do you know where he went?

Casino.

Take care.

Excellent work, Patrick!
We'll take over now.

Yeah.

Incoming.

Call.

Fold.

Call.

Check.

Bet.

They're watching you, Erik.

It's time to lose it all.
Go all in.

-All in.
-You have their full attention.

I call.

Showdown, please.

You have to fold.

This is it.

Fold them!

Erik, they must see you lose it all.
Fold now.

-Fuck!
-Please, sir.

Shit...
Yeah, yeah. It's okay.

Enjoy the game.

-I had a full house.
-They're right behind you.

-Mr. Vandenbosch?
-David Vandenbosch?

You work for ShuiYue,
and we are from Fournier.

-So?
-So...

Mr. Vandenbosch...

-Mr. Vandenbosch.
-Yes?

-What is it that you want from me?
-We know that you are in trouble.

Maybe we can help. We know that
you gamble, that you've lost a lot.

Yes, I gamble! Life is a gamble.

-" La vie est un mirage ".
-Take it down a notch, Erik.

-Maybe we can help you out.
-Help me out? There is no out.

Okay? It's all lies. You, me,
Fournier, ShuiYue, the whole thing.

The beauty business.
All lies, sweetheart.

We sell our day creams,
our anti-age and night creams.

We make people smell of perfume
for what? For beauty?

No! Beauty is for silly lovers
and poets. It's a masquerade, yes?

It's greed.
It's all the deadly sins.

Good work, Al Pacino.
Get to the point now.

Maybe you want to change the game?

I have nothing to bet.

You have Amanda.

Here we go.

-You can put her on the table.
-Ah, now I see.

So Mr. Fournier wants Amanda.

We know you owe 4M euros.
If we pay for you

you'll tell Amanda
there's no deal.

What are you doing, Erik?
Say yes!

Let's play a game. Curling.

No curling now, honey.

There's a stone block in your way,
and you want to remove it.

What's the price?

Mr. Vandenbosch. 5 million?

If I have something Mr. Fournier
wants, I am sure he'll pay...

5 million is just fine.

6 million euros.

What?!

Erik!

I will let go of Amanda,
and he can have her.

It's our path to getting Amanda.

We'll talk to Mr. Fournier
and make the arrangements.

Wonderful.
There's a bridge near my hotel

at Christianshavn
on Saint Annae Street.

Meet me there at four, bring the
money, or you'll lose the game.

-We will be there.
-Great. Thank you. Now, run along.

I have a hotel room nearby.

It's in a shady part of town,
but it is quite cozy.

And I am so lonely.

Aw, but do you see
this ring on my finger?

I do not see any ring.

If he gets...

If he gets 6M euros,
he's willing to...

No.
No one forces my hand.

But it's the only way to get Amanda.

Have the jet ready tomorrow morning.

I'm flying to Copenhagen.
