Original subtitles

You got engaged! - There's a whole life out there... but I can't live it with you, Peter.

Who did this to you? Was it Ragnarsson?

We'll find you a new job. This is Angelo.

What's this? - My cookbook, I thought you'd like to have it.

Oscarshof? - It'll be auctioned next week, we may get a good deal.

Calle is the future. - I know when a party is over. I'm leaving.

Nina?

Nina!

I advise you not to get pregnant again. You'd risk your life.

I must find my brother.

I apologize for Gustaf's behavior. - Don't, it's him who has to apologize.

Wait! We'll find a solution... I'll be on my feet again.

I promise I'll quit drinking.

I lost everything, I don't know what to do.

Start with quitting the bottle. There's a place where they can help you.

1 YEAR LATER. 1957

Profits have been dropping for 4 months in a row. - For what reason?

Customers are too young, they're not consuming. - We'll discuss that with Nina.

THE WINTER OF THE SOUL - SUZANNE GOLDSTEIN -

EPISODE 15

- THE BOOK -

If we're out walking together you shouldn't stay 4 steps ahead of me!

Sorry, mom, but aren't you happy you came?

Dr. Boman said a fast-paced walk will be good for you.

He said "walk", not "military march"!

Does he always walk this fast? - Yes, it's hard to keep up with him.

Well... you're brave but I think I'd better go home now.

You go ahead, we're going home. - Are you alright?

Yes, we're only a bit tired. - I'm going with you.

You go ahead, we'll be alright. - Are you sure?

I'll keep walking.

Does he look after himself? - Very much. The doctor recommended routine.

Healthy food and fresh air. - Let's hope this routine is going to work.

And I'll be a grandma once again!

I won!

You're too fast, I can't beat you.

It was only a couple of times. - You're the new Sally Bauer.

I'm gonna break her record and swim across the English Channel.

You'll definitely do it. Do you train every day?

Only twice a week, dad also wants me to take piano lessons.

You should be taking more swimming lessons. I'll talk to him.

Why can't I stay here with you?

You live with your father. You got your friends and your school in Skåne.

I could make new friends here. - Yes...

Of course you could.

Can I ask him?

You wanna go again?

Uncle Gustaf! - Hi, Christina!

You're coming in? - We have the owners meeting.

Yes, of course.

It still feels weird that you're not there.

Are we going? - She's freezing, we went swimming.

Bye. - Bye.

All 220 guests have confirmed. The bar grand opening will be a success.

Hi! Sorry we're late, we lost track of time.

We had a swimming race and I won. - Congratulations! Come give me a hug!

Go in the kitchen, you might find an Easter egg in there.

See you later, love.

She's all grown up! Thanks for yesterday, by the way...

That's very interesting but we have a lot to discuss.

Can we go back to the meeting.

Ester, you were saying something? - Please be punctual next time I call for a meeting.

Let's see... profits were good last year.

That's also thanks to some state contributions.

All good then. - Not all.

One part isn't going well. - Which one?

The DK Club. - Actually, it's alway packed.

Yes but it's not making income. - They're not spending, it's all in the books.

Let's see.

Did you know that, Nina? - I'm aware of my club's financial situation.

Any new business has a few ups and downs. - When are the "ups" coming?

Are you suggesting we stop with rock bands?

Yes. - We can go back to jazz, it's more suitable for us.

We still have jazz nights but we need to move with the times.

We gotta look after our younger guests. - The State will look after them.

From now on, rock bands are gonna play elsewhere.

DK Club is my project so I will decide who plays here.

Actually, we've just made the decision.

Is that so? Mom, did you just made the decision?

You saw the numbers, we have to do something about it.

Look around for some great jazz musicians.

So the band I booked for the opening is fine? - Of course.

I thought so. Anything else? - No.

Thank you then.

How many times did you grind it? - Three times, Chef.

Good. Season it with pepper, salt and ginger.

Is the fish soup filtrated? - Yes, I've added other vegetables too.

Calle, come here. Ask him. - No, please...

What's funny? - Rut has something to ask you.

If you won't ask him, I'll do it. She'd like you to sign her copy of the book.

Of course. You got a pen? - Yes.

It's for my mom. - What's her name? - Märta.

Will you stop it?!

Thank you, Chef.

- TO MÄRTA. I DID IT BECAUSE HER DAUGHTER RUT ASKED ME. -

What does Peter think of bread and sausages for the bar inauguration?

It's not "bread and sausages", it's "hot-dogs". Peter will want something American.

America here... America there... it's all I've been hearing lately.

You won't be hearing me speak American. - Thank God.

In fact, I'm gonna learn me some Italian.

It's nice, so bright and shiny. - Yes, they did a good job.

Hi, mom. - Hi, Gustaf.

But why put the bar here? People are gonna walk around all over the place.

I am going to escort the guests.

What if you're busy elsewhere? - They'll wait.

Where do you want these? - Over here.

Thank you. The bar is in my area.

Whisky glasses there and cocktail glasses there. - Alright.

Are you excited about the opening? - Yes.

A bit nervous? - Nervous?

After all I've been through, I think I can handle a bar.

I am nervous. - Well... I'm sure everything will be alright...

Angelo. - Angelo... you gotta worry less and work more.

We need more glasses. - Of course.

You put these on the menu? We were supposed to go with the American theme.

It's American, just a little variation. - You should have talked to me.

People are gonna expect your classic dishes. - I thought it was nice to...

It's no time for experiments. Go back to the menu we agreed on.

But... - But...?

As you want, Director. - It'll be a success... and great publicity for your book.

It's good!

Don't make that face. Peter and the guests are gonna love your dishes.

I'm afraid I've strayed too far from the menu.

Then let's stick to the menu. You'll get the chance to experience later... Italian, I believe?

You got the list? - Yes, all guests have confirmed their reservations.

Looks like the bar wasn't a bad idea after all. Nina was right.

Not always profitable though. Thanks for your support anyway.

On what? - The club.

We all have to do our part for the DK.

You shouldn't be so hard on her. - I'm not.

Same goes for your brother. - You know what I think.

He's doing an excellent job, don't you think? - Yes but put him in charge of the bar...?

The more responsibilities he has, the better.

If he touches one drop, he's out. - He won't.

Hi, Maggan. - Hi, Angelo. Everything alright?

Everything fine. And you? - Likewise.

I haven't seen you lately. Have you been sick? - No, I had some time off for personal reasons.

It's nice to see you again. - Same here.

I need to ask you a favor.

You wanna change shift, don't you? - Yes, I need a replacement for tomorrow.

It's not that simple, Margareta. You know how hard it is to plan these shifts?

Is it about the union? Some association meeting?

No, it's a poli-sci exam at the workers' course.

Ok, Hilda will replace you, but don't give me such a short notice again!

I'll try not to. Thanks.

Margareta... are you considering a new career?

What you mean by that? - Nothing... it's that you work more outside than in here.

I'll tell Hilda then.

Don't be so hard, she's working to make our Country better.

I'm aware of that... but I also need someone in the dining room.

So, while she's building houses for people, Ethel could take her place.

Well, what do you know...

Get used to it.

We're coming!

Hi. Where's Christina? - She's just coming down.

She'd love to go swim more often. - The nearest pool is in Helsingborg.

I can't drive her there every day. Hi, darling!

Hop in, we're already late. - Landing now!

Bye, Calle. - Bye, little girl.

Bye, mom. - Bye, love. See you soon.

Have you talked to dad? - Not yet. I'll do it.

Go now. Go ahead, I'll be right up.

Is that alright? Watch out.

One more thing... you think we could discuss Christina's situation?

Ok. What situation? - She said she'd like to come live with me.

Maybe it's not a bad idea, with the swimming... - It's absolutely impossible.

We really started to bond.

You see her several times a year, I take care of her every day.

I know, Erik... - You think it'll be fun for a few weeks...

...then something happens with your club and you send her back to me.

That's so unfair! - Maybe, but I don't wanna take any chances.

Can't we talk about it? - No.

She always comes back with strange ideas after she's been with you. It's out of the question.

Alright... this is a list of Italian products. Can you take care of it?

"Salami, sage, parsley, basil, oil." - Olive oil... it's gotta be olive oil.

No problem. - Thanks.

Everything's ready for tonight.

The band will be here on time. - Great.

There's one more thing I gotta tell you. I have to cancel Honeymooners and Rock-Eva.

They've already been cancelled. - No...

Yes, someone called them and booked them for the Hofvet.

When did it happen? - Honestly I can't remember.

It was a few days ago. What was her name again...

Ester. - Exactly! It was Ester.

What are you doing? - Welcoming the guests.

You know what I mean. Why did you cancel my bands? - Your bands? What you mean?

Hiring bands is my job. - I'm only trying to help.

If you wanna help, stay out of the DK Club.

I'm the treasurer. When things go bad, I have little choice.

Can I have your attention, please?

I'm not gonna make a long speech but I feel I have to say something.

"A true restaurant needs a bar".

A wise woman said that one year ago and I couldn't agree more.

I'd like to express my gratitude to my wife.

It's thanks to Ester if we could go through with this project.

Welcome and cheers! - Cheers!

Thank you Peter... and Ester. What would we do without you?

But you forgot one important detail.

Now you're afraid I'm gonna say something embarrassing.

Don't worry, I'll save embarrassment for the end of the party.

You forgot to introduce a very important person who made us all very happy.

I'm talking about our distinguished bar manager: Gustaf Löwander!

Thank you, Nina, and a warm welcome to everyone. Our waiters will now serve your drinks.

And just for tonight, our drinks will be available also in the restaurant. The bar is open!

Miss Nilsson, will you explain us Montesquieu's principle of the separation of powers?

Have you read Montesquieu? - Yes, yes...

In his "The Spirit of the Laws", he talks about three concepts of power.

Yes... executive, legislative and judiciary.

That's right.

And... what's the difference between the principle of power-sharing and the principle of popular sovereignty?

Let Miss Nilsson answer.

Miss Nilsson, you need to study to pass the exam. - I'm sorry.

Without theory and history you cannot understand the basis of politics.

I'll do my best to be more prepared. Thanks. - See you.

Miss Nilsson! What are you doing here?

I'm studying political science, and you?

Svante had a conference. I'm on my way to the DK now.

Of course, the inauguration. Have fun.

Aren't you working? - Not tonight.

Then it'll be less fun.

I'm going home to my son. - Then I won't keep you, but...

...I'd love to meet you for a little chat. How about lunch, the day after tomorrow?

Of course, I'd love to. - Great.

12,30 at the Valand Cafe? - Perfect.

I'll see you then. Have a nice evening.

I hope it's a girl. Our two other kids are all grown up.

Nice. - Angelo!

We're almost out of glasses. - Yes, "Directress".

"Director"... not "Directress"!

Hi. I'm sorry he was bothering you.

Angelo? He's very nice. - He talks too much.

He's very polite. He'll be working at the bar? - No, he's here only for tonight.

You're tired? I'll tell Bellan to get you a taxi.

Don't get too tired yourself. - Don't worry.

Nina! - Hi, Todd!

Enjoying Calle's dishes as usual? - I think I've tried everything.

Although I didn't notice any new dishes. - He does what he's asked to.

How's publishing business? - I can't say too much but we may have found a great writer.

Another cookbook? - No, no...

Everybody around Europe are talking about this book.

Every publisher wanted it but I won.

Congratulations! - Thank you.

It's the gripping story of a woman trying to survive in one of Hitler's camps.

There's also a reference to Sweden.

She came here on the "white buses" in 1945, thinking her whole family had been killed.

But her husband had survived and he found her again right here in Stockholm.

Don't worry, it's non-alcoholic. - Do I look worried?

What would you like? - You're the expert.

Tom Collins.

Isn't it tricky to suggest drinks if you've never had them?

I've had my share of Tom Collins. Now I enjoy soft drinks.

Good.

You left Lotten home with the kid? - Yes.

She's not allowed to party... - She's not the type.

Peter! We'll talk later.

I just learned something interesting from Todd Wallenstam.

Calle's writing another book? - No, he found a new writer?

Who is it?

Suzanne Goldstein. She'll be back in Stockholm.

There.

How pretty! Not everyone can wear that dress.

I could wear it tonight.

Mads and Betty. - They're coming for dinner... yes.

You forgot? - Yes.

You'll wear that nice dress when Mads and Betty come for dinner.

8 o'clock. - 8 o'clock.

Hi! It was a success, plenty of people came.

I can't say the same about Angelo's work.

Sorry...? - You see... you're not supposed to chit-chat with the guests.

A waiter must work without being noticed. Didn't Roos teach you that?

I only spoke to your wife. - Blaming us now?

No... I'll never talk to the guests again. - Good.

And put some clothes on, for God's sake!

Where's the liquor? - I have no idea.

Ralf, have you seen the liquor bottle? - No, I haven't.

You know it's a serious matter. - Yes, Chef.

I need another bottle of liquor. - Where's the authorization?

You know I don't have it. - I need an authorization from the Director.

Sorry?

Come in.

They won't give me the liquor. - It's for precaution.

One drop here, one drop there... it's money down the drain.

Ok but I need it in the kitchen. - Of course, but you gotta go through me.

It was different with Backe. - There are new rules.

Can I have the authorization for a bottle of liquor? - Absolutely.

This bottle must not go missing! - Yes, Chef.

So, we finally got everything.

I asked for olive oil. - This is all they had.

I don't see many of the things I asked. - If you don't want it, I'll take it back.

Yes, this is no good.

Angelo!

You know where I can find some good olive oil? - Oil... of course! Sandro's got everything you need!

Is it real olive oil?

"1st quality, extra-virgin olive oil". - Great!

Is he the one who used to be a dishwasher? - Yes, Chef remembers him.

After work I'll take you to him. - Great.

It just disappeared from the kitchen. - Anyone could have taken it.

You know well who did it. - Gustaf would never do that.

You can't be sure. - But I am.

He wouldn't do something like that now.

Especially for Astrid and the kids. - I'll ask Roos about it.

I wouldn't do that. Roos and Gustaf are very close friends.

Your father used to like drinking. - Dad?

Back in those days, you weren't a real man if you didn't drink.

Gustaf helped him up the stairs quite a few times.

Everyone deserves a second chance.

Roos, good thing you're here. - What can I do for you?

I just wondered how it's going. Is the bar too much work?

No, everything's fine. The bar is in good hands.

You're happy Gustaf got back? - Yes, he's been very helpful.

Glad to hear that.

Roos, have you noticed anything strange? - Not at all.

Mrs. Löwander... the only strong thing he's been drinking is black coffee.

Thanks, Roos.

You can talk to me, you know. - Of course.

Djurgårdskällaren.

Although 10 years have passed, we remember the war as if it was yesterday.

Most of Europe has been rebuilt.

But rebuilding people takes a lot longer.

Tonight, this wonderful, brave woman will read us her book: "The Winter of The Soul".

It's a great honor for me to introduce Suzanne Goldstein.

Welcome.

Thank you all for coming to listen to my story.

Sweden and Stockholm have a special place in my heart...

...because I've been living here for a while after the war.

Let's play with it!

Hi, buddy! - Hello.

Hey! They eat, don't they?

Sandro. - Angelo! What are you doing here?

You remember Calle? He's the Master Chef at the restaurant.

He wants to learn the secrets of Italian cooking. - Of course, Angelo's friends are my friends!

Guys, this is Calle, a friend of mine. - Hi, Calle.

Calle, what exactly are you looking for? - Everything... cheese, oil, spices, cold cuts...

You've come to the right place.

Boys, give him a little taste. - How about cheese? You like it?

Parmigiano, pecorino... we got it all.

Good, isn't it? - Very good!

Calle! Pancetta!

Carbonara... spaghetti carbonara.

We haven't made a toast yet!

To the finest restaurant in Stockholm, which celebrates out beautiful Italy!

It's been quite a surprise seeing you back here.

I wanted to get in touch but... - Never mind. Am I in your book?

Yes... no... not under your real name.

That's good.

It went great, it'll be a success.

How you're doing? - Great... I have a wife and two children.

And you? - It's been a long journey but... now I'm fine.

And Philippe? - It didn't work out, he lives in Israel now.

You'll be here long? - A while, but...

...I'll be around all the time. My editor got me booked for every night.

Peter! I had no idea you two knew each other.

Yes, we're old friends. - Yes.

What a coincidence... Suzanne, we must go on.

Will you come to dinner with us? It'll be very interesting.

Yes. Come. - No, I can't.

Maybe another time. Shall we go?

Have a nice evening.

I'm glad you came. - Thanks.

Suzanne... can we meet tomorrow?

I'll be in Uppsala. - Another time?

It's not a good idea for either of us.

No... you're right.

- I WOULDN'T HAVE SURVIVED WITHOUT YOU. KISSES, SUZANNE. -

Peter? - Hi.

Sorry I'm late, I got held up.

Sorry. - Where have you been?

At work. - I called the DK, you weren't there.

I've also been at the Hofvet and I couldn't find a taxi. I'm sorry.

I'm very sorry.

Welcome.

Margareta! Make-up?

In springtime one must wear some colors.

You look lovely. - Thanks.

How's political science going? - Very demanding but inspirational too.

I admire you, Margareta. Balancing work, study and a son.

Your commitment for the others is commendable.

I can't help but fighting every fight.

What'll you have? The herring doesn't look bad.

Counselor Helge Beckerman is gonna retire soon and I've been offered the job.

Fantastic! Congratulations! - Thanks, I'm actually very excited.

Now I can finally make a difference. But I can't do it by myself.

You can be sure me and all the members will support you.

I get the chance to pick my own staff...

...and the most important job is the Counselor's secretary.

Me??

I know nothing about politics! - You do politics.

It's different, it's workers' politics... - I need someone young, someone truly committed.

Someone like you.

I don't know what to say... - Don't answer now. Think about it.

I'm also interested in having your take on this inquiry.

You can come over for weekends and holidays. - So he said no.

He loves being with you. - Don't you love it too?

Yes... more than anything else in the world.

You're the most important thing for me but also for dad, so he wants you to stay there.

At least now I get to swim more. - Really?

Dad takes me swimming every day. - Good, then you'll break every world record.

Hi, mom.

Something's wrong?

What's this? - Seems like a cup of coffee to me.

With cognac in it. - Maybe... but it's not mine.

You're aware of the consequences, aren't you?

I'm sorry you don't believe me, mom. Now I have work to do.

Is it yours? - Yes, it's mine.

And this? - Also mine.

Did Gustaf have some? - Absolutely not.

If you wanna have cognac in your time off, go ahead.

But if you have it while you're working, I'll have to let you go.

I'm sorry, it won't happen again. - Thanks.

Cigarette? - No, thanks.

Everything alright? - Excuse me?

Sorry, Angelo. It's just... - I get it.

Bad day. - Bad day, bad week, bad life...

I don't even know why I try anymore.

Life can be tough... but also nice.

One has to find the right balance. - Yes but it's not always easy to balance everything.

One gram too much and you're back in the hole.

The hole?

Whatever I do, I always end up paying.

All this "trust" thing...

What's the point? My family don't trust me so why bother?

Why would you not bother? - Angelo, you don't know my family.

It'll be alright.

Director, you have a...

Got it? - Yes. Keep it.

Helga, what do you need? - I need to know something, Calle.

The bottle of liquor that went missing... who took it?

What bottle? - You told Peter you were missing a bottle.

That one... it was never lost. The new boy had put it in the wrong place.

Nothing's missing then? - Not that I know. Why?

No particular reason. I just don't like it when things go missing.

Don't you?

You're having only that? - Yes, I gotta lose some weight.

I already lost 4 pounds. - Of course, you don't eat anything.

She's not eating much either. Are you on diet too?

Not at all.

We're going to Maiorca next summer and I'd like to wear the two-piece.

Two-piece? You mean that "bikiniki" thing?

Ethel... - "Bikini".

You might as well be in your underwear.

Everyone likes the bikini. Don't you, Maggan? - No, I'm fine with my old bathing suit.

Who's joining me for a smoke?

So?

I had lunch with Britt Gahn. - Britt Gahn! Nice going!

She'll be appointed city counselor and he wants me to be her secretary.

You'll be working in Town Hall?! - I didn't say yes. She said to think about it.

What's to think about?

Coming from the bottom and ending up in Town Hall!

It's not a sure thing. - Of course it is, otherwise she wouldn't have asked you.

I assume you'll say yes. - I don't know.

I didn't even finish my studies.

You gotta start believing in yourself. Britt Gahn does... I do...

Well... time to roll up our sleeves.

I'll take the herrings out.

Thank you for tonight.

The bar is closed.

I was stupid to doubt you. - Mom, I'm only doing my best.

I know. I'm sorry, Gustaf.

Will you come for our morning walk tomorrow?

Yes, I'll come at 9 o'clock. - Good.

Goodnight. - Goodnight.

Astrid.

Astrid.

I must have fallen asleep. - It's late. How are you?

Tired, it's been kicking me all evening.

He's asleep now. How was your day?

Fine... it was fine. Go to sleep, I'll clean up.

Night. - Night.

Come in.

Someone's here for you. - Not now, I'm busy.

Forgive me but I think you should come with me.
