Are you alright?

If mom got to die, everything would be much easier.

I can't hear you, mom.

There's a will. - We need to know what's in it.

You only have 10, you'll need more.

You're not happy?

I've been standing in line for 5 years to become a Master Chef!

Inaugurations and parties... she's like a fish in the water.

What happens? - Have you seen Calle?

Good.

If Angelo is going to serve tables, I will stay as head maitre.

Work, alcohol...this is another addiction. - God loves me for what I am.

Maggan, you don't need to pretend.

All great politicians had a lover.

We can't keep this going.

I'm in the Government, you're in the council... there's to much at stake.

When do you start? - I don't know of I'm up to it.

I think you are.

Why can't I stay with you?

Every time Christina's with you, she gets these strange ideas.

We destroy it.

Wills have disappeared before!

I got a copy of Helga's will. - We contest the will.

Too bad for you there was a copy. - Enough with these accusations!

I did something stupid.

6 YEARS LATER

1968

There won't be any attack to North Vietnam as long as the country is up to...

Mom, I'm going out! - Don't you eat? Where are you going?

To the student union to hand out invitations.

Students have no money. - But they're neat and the love to aggregate.

When are you coming back? - Late.

USA out of Vietnam! USA out of Vietnam!

Support our fight against US imperialism!

Welcome to Nina's Club and Disco. Here's your VIP invitations.

Can I sit here? - Certainly.

There's a lot of people! - Indeed.

What do you study? - Sociology. I'm doing a criminology course.

Is it interesting? - Very much.

All you need to know about crime.

So before robbing a bank one should talk to you.

Exactly. The purpose of criminology is to train more competent criminals.

What do you study? - Nothing, I run a nightclub.

Really? - Yes. Have you heard of DK restaurant?

Of course. - It will become a nightclub.

My mom worked there for many years. - What's her name?

It was a long time ago, you probably don't know her.

You should come and check it out.

For you plus one. - Thanks.

You can tell your mom how the place has improved.

I'm sure it's better.

My name's Uno, by the way. - I'm Christina.

Welcome. We'll start right away.

EPISODE 21

- NIGHTCLUB -

You can bring it in there.

What's this? - You'll see.

Good God, this is big!

Can I talk to you?

That glass ball costs a whole lot of money!

I know what it costs. - I think it's totally unreasonable!

That's beyond your duties, isn't it? - I'm worried too, Nina.

Renovations already went over budget.

That always happens. - We should have opened 6 months ago.

There will be no more delays to the inauguration.

We must pack the house for 8 months before we break even!

The restaurant was already going well, so this whole thing...

Not well as before. It's better to make changes now than later!

And the bar, which makes the dining room look like an Old West saloon! - Thank you, Roos.

We want classification requirements to stay in the student house.

Should we allow any student, despite their grades, to stay in the dormitory?

We have a question.

I was wondering what the Social Council think of the Vietnam war.

The Vietnam war? - Yes.

As Social-Democrats, we are against.

That's hypocritical.

Who's that? - John Hansen.

We're here about the housing... - This is also about housing.

Excuse me... my name is Mark and I'm a deserter of the Vietnam war.

Thank you very much.

Thanks. I'd like to know what you and the Swedish government plan to do to push the US to end the war.

Ok... actually...

...I am not in the government... - Please, you can speak Swedish.

I understand... I practiced.

I'm not in the government, but...

...we'll do everything in our power to pressure them.

Isn't the war a logical consequence of the capitalistic system...

...that you grease and sustain? - No, no... we are reforming capitalism!

On the contrary, you erode democracy!

We Social Democrats have built this country for the good of everyone!

One at a time. John?

Is it my turn? How nice!

You don't even see you're destroying democracy by keeling down to the Wallenbergs! *

(* family of bankers)

If you just let me reply...

Thank you for coming.

As moderator, you have to make sure everyone sticks to the subject.

You think you did a good job today?

Thanks for your speech. Very inspiring.

Great job, man! - Uno! Thanks!

This is Christina. - You were great.

If you're going to start a revolution, come see how people live and have fun.

This "Nina", is it you? - No, that's my mother.

I may show up, for study's sake. - You might even have fun.

You have more of these? - Check inside the bag.

I hope to see you.

I'm off too. - See you.

What is it?

A nightclub? - Will you go?

No, thanks. - Why not? We can get something out of it.

When are you going back to Tanzania?

After the premiere. I miss Astrid and Mårten.

Of course.

Whose idea was that mirror ball? - Mine, why?

Don't take it bad but... looks like Christina is getting anything she wants.

That's not true!

We saw it at Annabel's in London. I waned it too!

I've put in the restaurant all my savings and Astrid's too.

One doesn't get rich in a mission.

Try to be careful with the money. - It's me, don't worry.

Hi. - The invitation to Nina's grand opening.

She's leaving a trail behind. I got it from Karsten at SF.

In English too! - She's copying us, she wants our guests.

It was a matter of time. - What you mean?

The Royal jumped on that train years ago. Strange no one tried it before.

Now we know when she plans to open and we can make our move.

You will not like them. - Why?

They're pretty leftists. - And...?

Very leftists...

Why wouldn't I like them? - Because they have long hair and wear jeans.

As long as they take care of their hygiene and they wear clean clothes, they're welcome.

I can't promise anything about the clothes.

I'm not that uptight. - What would grandma say about Nina's?

I don't know... she was totally old-fashioned about some things...

...but she also knew the importance of keeping up with the times.

Strangely, the more she got old, the less she was conservative.

When I was your age, she was on me like a hawk.

Was she? - My God...

Me and Calle had to be sneaky all the time.

One time he had to hide under my bed when mom suddenly came in.

She acted like a father.

Did you invite Calle to the opening? - No.

You don't want him to come? - He's not interested.

But it doesn't hurt to ask. - No... it's just wasted time.

Hey, Calle!

Hey! What a pleasant surprise! - Are you busy?

A bit but don't worry. It's good to see you.

Likewise. I just came to give you this.

Thanks. - Are you coming?

I'd love to but I can't. I work evenings.

Can't you take one night off?

I don't think I can... these guys are useless without me.

We can survive a night without you. - Aren't you curious to see the nightclub?

Of course. - Please...

I'll think about it.

What do we have here?

Ok... yes.

Not the best... not the worst. - It's the best available in Stockholm.

Who says that? - I say that.

I've been around at Annabel's. They use double Pioneer PL 41's.

30A with RIAA equalization. 4x200 watt.

Cream of the crop. - I tell you this is the best.

Last time I was there, I partied with the Stones.

Shall we talk money? - You know what they call me?

Mr. Viking...? I have no idea. - The Big L.

How's going? - Comme ci, comme ça.

We'd like to offer you a long-term contract.

It'll cost you a lot.

Although nights should be cheaper.

Wait, little lady... it doesn't work like that.

"Little lady"?

I think Leif is afraid he's gonna lose all his abroad gigs.

Can I talk to you in the studio?

That guy is an idiot! - He's the best, he worked for Radio Luxembourg.

And he charges me for that? Isn't there anyone else?

"International level", we said. That is him.

You can put it in second now. Step up.

...and switch.

Good.

Have you been secretly practicing? - Stop talking, I'm focused!

You can stop right here.

Lift your foot... turn it off.

Handbrake. Very good!

Could you get me an invitation at Nina's? For the opening.

No. - Lussan is going with some lawyer.

"With some lawyer"? - Yes.

How old is this guy? - I don't know.

You're not going anyway. - It's not fair if my aunt owns the place!

It's the talk of the town! Everyone says it'll be supercool!

I promise I'll be home by 11! - You're not going! End of discussion!

You can start the car.

Why do we never meet with them? - Please...

With Nina and Christina?

Dad, I want to know!

We grew apart after grandma died. - That I know, but what's the real reason?

Grandma had left the whole place to Nina.

Could she do that? - Yes, she could.

It should have been 50-50 but Nina had managed to influence grandma.

Influenced how?

They were arguing all the time so it was obvious something was wrong.

A legacy can bring out the worst in people.

Well, don't you look good! - Ethel! How nice!

Likewise. Are you back then?

Only temporarily. You still work here?

I pop in but I actually retired.

Only Ethel never really stops working...

I did stop. I was sick of handling herring,

but Nina asked me and I'm too kind to say no.

Have you seen this? - Club Royal?

Happy Hour the night of our opening. They laid their cards on the table.

Everyone gets a welcome drink of champagne and snacks, of course.

After that, they'll use the bar.

Then we let the paying guests in.

How's the sauce?

Still too sticky!

Smile, have fun and if you don't... just pretend.

Carmen, beef steak! Don't yell like that!

You ask, I reply.

That's all. - Lena?

Did Angelo tell you you're at the disco bar? - Yes.

How you're feeling? - A bit nervous.

It'll be a success... and if not, it means Stockholm is a death hole.

Then we'll go back to London. . We sure will.

Am I interrupting? - No.

You're stylish. - I'm just keeping up with the times.

The gearboxes are in place. - You're staying, aren't you?

If you need help in the dining room, just ask. I'm well ready.

I don't think it will be necessary. - Of course...

Who needs an old mummy strolling around?

Let's do this.

Welcome! Invitation or card.

Welcome.

Watch the camera.

Welcome! I'll see you inside. - Sure.

Nina's seems to be doing well.

It's easy on opening night. Let's see how she keeps it up.

Hi! Welcome! - Thanks.

What a place! - Thanks. I'll get you seats.

I didn't think you'd venture here. - You've been brave to invite us.

I'll get you some food and drinks.

What's that?? Backpacks and blue jeans??

Gustaf... blue jeans! - It's not my style either.

Shall I kick them out? - Take it easy now.

Hey! Good to see you here! - Sit down with us.

Uno! - Hey, Gunilla!

Chef? Do I have to bring the sole to the girl? I'm getting married tomorrow.

You don't need to. - Thanks, we've been engaged for years.

Congratulations. Go now.

No... - I mean it. Take a bottle of champagne too.

Thank you, Chef.

You can go home too. - Thank you, Chef.

Excuse me, you got a light? - Yes.

Thanks. Nice place, huh?

Yes. - I was lucky to get an invitation.

Do you know the owner? - No, I was sent a member card actually.

You're an important person then! - I don't know about that.

There are some girls looking to feel good.

Have a good night. - You too.

Can I have a beer, please? Draft.

You know who you were talking to? - No.

That was the crown prince of Sweden. - Really?

I bet he's telling his friends right now: "You wouldn't believe who I met at the bar... Mark Knight!"

And you are...? - Lena.

Nice to meet you, Lena.

Disco is about to start. John, let's go.

Come!

Come, you got to see this.

It's alcohol-free, you want a taste? - No, thanks.

Come on.

Welcome to Nina's nightclub and discotheque!

Behind the turntables tonight it's me... Leffe Viking, The Big L!

It's great to be back home in Stockholm!

Are you ready to shake it up? I said, are you ready to shake it up??

Let's raise the roof!!

Isn't it awesome? - God help me...

It's tear gas! Everybody out!

Everybody out!

Stop the music! - What's happening?!

Stop the music!

Christina!

Mark! Are you ok?

Christina!

Put her down. Christina!

Christina!

Get some help!

What happened? Gas, I don't know where from!

Hey! We need help here! She's unconscious!

You still have it black, right?

Any idea who did it? - No.

Christina brought me an invitation.

It's almost scary how she looks like you now.

She's way smarter than I was at that age.

Can I ask you something?

Why did you do only one season of "Festfixaren"? It was a huge success.

I keep thinking about...

...why I couldn't be happy.

It was going so well for you... - I don't wanna talk about that.

You're still angry with me. - No... you mean nothing to me.

Say hello to Christina for me. - I will.

The dance floor was packed. It's impossible to say who threw it.

Didn't you see anyone suspicious?

I've been thinking about it, but no.

We found something interesting.

You're still here? - Of course.

How you're feeling? - Weary.

But I feel no pain. - Good.

Can I get you something to eat? - No.

Just rest.

You also go home and rest.

I'll stay a while. I brought you some clothes if you want to change.

Morning. - There's been some kind of attack at Nina's.

So I heard.

They had to evacuate the place. People got trampled.

On the radio they said no one got seriously injured.

Have you talked to Nina? - No.

So you don't even know if Nina and Christina are alright? - Please, Anita...

Nina has more important things to do than talking to me.

I'll give her a call later today.

Hi, do I bother you? - No, come in.

Do you like these.... what they're called now?

Flowers? - Flowers...

I love flowers.

I'll ask for a vase. - No, please... sit down instead.

How are you?

Never been better, they give such nice pills...

Nothing broken? - No serious injuries.

The doctor said I can go home. - Great.

Thank you.

We have met once before. - Have we?

In a radio shop a long time ago. - How can you remember that?

I was there with my mother, Margareta Nilsson. You were there with your mother, Nina.

We were there watching "Quit or Double?" - Exactly.

So your mother used to work at the DK? - Yes.

Is it Margareta Nilsson, from the Social Council?

Yes.

Why didn't you say anything the first time?

I thought you wouldn't speak your mind about the debate if you knew she was my mother.

She was good... but John was better.

Just because she's my mom it doesn't mean I always agree with her.

That goes for me, but you...

How about a movie tonight? - Gladly but I should be inviting you.

It's my way to say thank you. - Alright then.

We should actually go there. - Tear gas and chaos... very attractive!

Just to show solidarity. We don't want people to be afraid to go there.

It's nice you're still loyal to the DK. - I'd love to come along, Maggan.

There's a "but" coming... - But...

...my joint problems forbid me to participate in such diversions.

It would actually be good for your knees.

The doctors forbade Svante to go to the disco. - Isn't it tragic?

I want to see the certificate.

I'll see if I can find it.

What about you? - You know what we agreed on.

Admit you were wrong about us when I became mayor.

We have been very careful.

Everyone knows we've worked together and we know each other.

Don't you think everyone will find it strange that we're never seen together?

Is this your bag?

We already know it's yours, we just need confirmation.

As you probably know, we found some interesting things inside.

Things that tell us you're involved in the attack at Nina's.

Tell me what's this doing in your bag.

Hey! - I'm here!

How did it go? - Fine, I didn't talk.

Did they threatened to arrest you? - Of course.

They said the girl who owns the place got trampled... and others as well.

Christina? - Yes. Is there some wine left?

Yes, in the fridge. Good job, Kicki!

Did they find out who did it? - Not yet.

Such idiots! Who does something like that?

I've been thinking... it's best if you don't come tomorrow.

Of course I'm coming. - You're not fully recovered yet.

Something like that could happen again. - How would it look if I don't show up?

That's not important. - It's bad PR if I'm not there.

Christina... - I'll be there.

We have no traces, no fingerprints on the bomb.

No one really saw anything. - What about the bag?

It contained a banner with "USA out of Vietnam" on it and some flyers.

Nothing to link the girl to the bomb. - But the inscription "Ready for the attack"?

Carrying a banner and handing out flyers is not a crime.

Thank you.

Even so, that was clarifying. - In what way?

Communists must be banned.

Mrs. Löwander, can I have a word?

I want to quit. - But why?

I believe it will happen again. - The tear gas?

We don't even know what it was yet. It might have been a single lunatic.

I was at Aladdin 5 years ago. - That was a bomb too?

It ended with it... but it had started with tear gas.

Then one night they smashed all the windows.

The owner replaced the windows, cleaned up and opened again.

Then the bomb came.

Was that Mr. X? - No, he usually sends his thugs.

Word was Trulsson, the owner, got into a beef with someone.

I got no beef with anyone and I received no threats.

This is the old Djurgårdskällaren, it's an institution.

This is no longer the Djurgårdskällaren. A nightclub is a whole different world.

Yes, I know that Trulsson. Not the man you want to have business with.

Try to learn more about what happened at the Aladdin. Maybe it's the same perpetrator.

I'm starting to be seriously worried.

You think the bomb is my fault too? - Of course not.

I'll ask around about Trulsson. - Thanks.

Unfortunately, Hans-Erik has quit. We're looking for a new Senior Chef.

Until then, Carmen is in charge.

Together, we'll keep this kitchen running.

Hans-Erik left of his own will. - Always warm...

As said, we hope to find a replacement soon. Thank you.

Let's do this! Are you ready? - Yes!

Then maybe we should go back to work. - What attitude was this?

What's this attitude? Is it because I'm a woman?

It's got nothing to do with that! - It does!

Carmen... no one is questioning your skills.

I've been a chef for 4 years and I know how to deal with troublemakers.

Hi. - Hi, you're back already?

Of course.

How are you? - Fine.

Looks quiet. - People will probably come later.

I'll see you inside then. - Sure.

Uno!

Hi!

How are you? - I'm fine. Hello.

Not that crowded today. - Come sit with us.

I was going to have just a beer... - No, eat something too.

Do they have meatloaf?

Is it Sunday lunch? - I love meatloaf.

I've been having it once a week for the past 5 years.

You need housewife lessons. - You're not the perfect housewife yourself.

Britt can't even find her own kitchen. - It's not easy, my house is big.

Carmen?

Master Chef... can you move that? - I'm working on it!

I need a place to slice the salmon.

We have black pudding on the menu? - Wretman has it at the Operakällaren.

Try it. - I'm fine, thanks.

I'm thinking of skipping the spices, blood is good as it is.

It was a joke...

No one gets humor in this kitchen.

Thanks, I'll hit the disco. - Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

The food isn't like it used to be. - No and there are so few people.

Maggan!

Long time no see. - Indeed!

You're... alright? - I'm fine.

This is Lilly. - Good evening. Britt Gahn.

We worked here together as waitresses.

Britt is... - Yes, I know who you are.

I work for RFSL. Those are my colleagues.

You're both role models for us. - I'm glad to hear that.

Do you know RFSL? - Of course, I've met your chairman.

Ove? Ah... good...

A bit cautious but good. - Yes... what...?

We need to appear more if we want things to happen.

Shall we go? - Yes.

It was nice seeing you. - Shame there are so few people here.

Don't leave yet, we were going to go to a more lively place.

No, thanks. Maybe some other time. - Another time then. See you.

It was her, right? Your first. - Yes.

What did she mean with "role models"? - 'Cause we have power.

Or maybe 'cause we're lesbians and go out as a couple.

Stop it, Britt. We do the exact opposite!

For your information, I don't want anything to do with RFSL.

They're gonna try to recruit us.

As a woman, I had to struggle to gain power.

I don't intend to start everything back.

What a shitty night! - People probably don't know we already reopened.

How's the kitchen? - A mess.

I noticed, the food takes a lifetime. - She's a temporary solution.

Have you asked Calle? - I'll find someone... just stay calm.

I've asked about the Aladdin.

Trulsson had a partner but he tried to rip him off when things were going well.

Who? - Kostelic is the name. Mirko Kostelic.

Hi! - Hi, welcome!

I heard you got trampled! - Yes but I'm fine now.

Great! - You must dance!

You can't be out on the dance floor without dancing!

I say this with all respect and consideration...

...but this time Nina doesn't know what she's getting herself into.
