USA out of Vietnam!

We are reforming democracy! - No, you're destroying democracy!

Who is that? - John Hansen.

Nice place, huh? You know the owner? - No.

I beg you to be careful with money.

You wanted international... that's him.

Grand opening? We can do something with it.

She wants to steal our guests.

Kostelic is the name... Mirko Kostelic.

You don't even know if Nina and Christina are alright?!

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

Long time no see! - Indeed!

To be clear, I want nothing to do with RFSL.

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

Thank you.

We must discuss my contract. I have another offer.

We have a contract for six more months so I don't see anything to discuss.

I got a better offer. - Nevertheless, you have a contracts with me.

What am I your slave?

You're not my slave but you have to do what you've been paid to do.

Not anymore. - Listen up, Leif...

I'm taking the action somewhere else... Club Royal.

Wait... - Bye!

Leif!

Hi... - Seriously? You're stealing our disc-jockey?

Wait... what are you talking about? - After all that, you steal our personnel?

I thought you had at least some decency left!

Wait... what disc jockey? - Viking is going to work at the Club Royal!

Then Ester must have made a better offer to him.

Then everything is allowed? - Business is business.

Including tear gas bombs?

Excuse me? - Kostelic... he works for you.

He helps us with busboys. - Word is it was him.

Who says that? - Can he do whatever he wants?

Who told you that? - Who benefits from us doing badly? You... Club Royal.

I don't believe in coincidence.

You are fucking paranoid!

EPISODE 22

ENGLISH SUBS BY BARISHNIKOV

Yes? - It's cold.

I'm sorry, I'll get you another one. - Is there a new director?

No, it's the same. - We don't recognize this place at all.

I'll get you another one. I apologize.

They want another one. This was cold.

Do it! - Me?!

Who else? This looks like tanned leather!

The food was with you for 5 minutes... - Calm down now, both of you!

Yes?

We need a new Head Chef. - Believe me, I know.

We think you should ask Calle. - Calle has already a job.

I can talk to him and make him an offer. - Thanks.

I heard that disc jockey, Mr. Viking, has resigned.

Peter lured him to Club Royal. Good riddance, he's an idiot.

Who's playing records then? - I didn't have time to find a replacement yet.

Sounds like something Christina could do. - She's no employee.

We agreed on that a long time ago.

Can she do whatever she wants? - No, it's not like that.

Time to look at some numbers.

A monkey could run the USA better than Johnson.

Sounds like you're studying sociology instead of running a nightclub.

How biased!

Are you planning on starting studying sometime? - Maybe. Are you planning on starting working?

I'm thinking of joining the police. - A cop?

Aren't you a leftist? - Yes.

You get along with John and he's very leftist.

Aren't all police officers rightists? - Well...

I'm honestly worried you won't fit in.

You will sit alone with your Unicabox.

When you'll ask "Shall we go out for a beer?", then there'll be an awkward silence.

It's no castle with pinnacles and towers. It's more like a big mansion.

Only you and your father lived there? - Grandma too, when I was little.

When I was 12, dad met a new girl.

She moved in after two days or so.

You didn't like her? - No, I was horrible to her.

When I turned 18, I moved in with my mother.

Why were you staying with your father? That's not usual.

Sorry... stupid question. - Mom was not well when I was a kid.

I have to go this way.

Thanks, I had a great time. - Me too.

Will you come back to the club sometime? - Absolutely. I'll see you there.

Bye. - Bye.

Yes... we're losing money every night. A lot of money.

People are afraid there'll be other attacks.

We could hire security. - Have you mentioned Kostelic to the police?

Yes but they "need solid evidence".

Security is going to cost a lot of money. We can solve this another way.

How then? - I have some contacts...

They could guarantee safety in exchange for the revenue generated by the wardrobe watching.

Who are these contacts? - Among others, I'm familiar with Lars Vinge.

Lars Vinge, the boxing promoter? - Yes, we met at Solvalla race track.

He's got some good horses. - I believe that but Lasse Vinge...

Can't I know someone like him? - It will be a proper security agency.

It takes more than that to bring people back.

We need someone who can attract other people. - Like who?

Who was it on everyone's lips the night of the premiere, before the tear gas?

The Crown Prince?

Hey. - Hey.

Nina came and accused Mirko of being behind the tears gas attack... and myself.

Is she out of her mind?

Can she be right? - Not that I know.

Does he do more than managing busboys?

He's also in charge of table games and wardrobe.

Why you never told me?

I run the club, I can't discuss every little decision with you!

Does he get paid well for this? - Indeed!

He'd never do something like that without telling me first.

We must have a word with him. - Yes... let's do that.

But we must think carefully about his possible answer.

What you mean? - If he says "It was me"... what do we do then?

We'll have to go to the police. Then ourselves and the club will be involved.

We're better off unaware.

Who can replace Leffe Viking? - Cat Ballou has some.

Barry Catstone, Ola Hammarlund, Kenned Falk maybe. I will check.

Good. I'll try to get the Crown Prince to come back.

I'm in contact with one of his closest friends, Fredrik Wetterström.

I'll see him tomorrow and I want you to come too.

In your most charming mood. - I'm always charming!

I hadn't noticed. How did it go yesterday?

Fine. Uno is a sweet boy.

This is the most advanced calculator on the market today.

Expensive, surely. - It is, but nothing beats a Facit.

There are electronic calculators.

I'd never trust one of those, they're from Japan!

They might count in a different way than us! - I don't think so.

We need him, the kitchen is not working. Try to be persuasive.

We must separate private from business.

Good. Come in!

Calle!

Welcome. - Thanks.

Hi, Nina. - Good morning.

Yes...

First of all, we're glad you agreed to come over and meet with us.

We need a new Master Chef and the first on our wish list is Mr. Carl Svensson.

Who did you have? - Hans-Erik Johnsson, as you know.

Why did he leave? - He wasn't comfortable anymore after the tear gas thing.

I actually like my job at Reymers.

With all due respect... do you express all your skills there?

Wouldn't you like a bigger challenge?

But this is now a nightclub, with a limited menu I suppose.

You'll get to do the menu yourself.

And about the salary, we can probably pay you way more.

We have a budget, of course.

You want me to work here? I wanna hear it from you.

We're considering every option.

Keep doing that. - Please, Calle...

Thank you.

You call that "persuasive"? - He implied I have a bar menu!

You hear what you wanna hear. - I told you it was a waste of time.

I must go pack my things. - You're going back to Tanzania now?!

Didn't you know? You never listen. - But Gustaf...

Gustaf!

Gustaf, wait.

You're right, I screwed up, but I promise I'll find a new Head Chef.

If all this is too much... there's no shame in going back to be a classic restaurant.

I'll fix this. - I know.

I'll send you a telegram. - Say hello to Astrid and Mårten.

Good luck.

Good morning. - Morning. You have a visitor.

Hi. - Hi.

I was going to call first, but...

...I live in Kungsholmen so I thought I'd just pop in.

Come in.

Anything special? - No, I... I...

I just wanted to ask you... if you'd like to go somewhere tonight.

Maybe that place I mentioned the other night. - I don't know.

It's fun. - Yes... but...

It's a really busy time for me.

Shouldn't it be part of your duties? - You think so?

Yes, as a social counselor you should know about Stockholm nights.

In fact, I demand it, as a tax payer.

What time then?

China is no democracy, is it?

It is, but it's so different from ours that we call it "dictatorship".

Aren't all other parties banned? - Everything goes through the Communist Party.

When a social model turns out to be correct in every aspect,

society is naturally built on it.

What dictator would say "Let a thousand flowers bloom"? Revolution is right!

You got what you need? - Absolutely. Sit with us.

I'm working. - There's no people yet. I came especially for you!

Did you? - I did.

Not for the free drinks then? - Also.

Hi.

Can I buy you something? - No, thanks.

You're very pretty.

Don't touch me! - Are you crazy?!

Come with me now. It's time to go home.

Come on now...

What a pig. - Thanks.

It's not what I said. You're sure you understand?

I'd like to dance. - Not tonight. The disc jockey quit.

What? - I know, it's a drag.

How about an after party at my place then?

I'd love to! - Definitely!

I'm going to an after party. Nobody's going to show up anyway.

No... - I'll find a new disc jockey tomorrow.

Ok, who wants wine? - Yes, thanks.

I'll show you the place. Get two glasses.

Here's the editorial team of Communist Orientation.

Torsten, our main ideologist. He knows Mao's works by heart.

Slight exaggeration... - How does "Class and Class Struggle" starts?

"Classes fight. Some triumph, others succumb". - I told you.

Welcome to the "red".

We write and print it ourselves. It's expensive but it has to look like a real newspaper.

Come have a drink. - In a little while.

Hey, man! Good to see you! - I brought some records.

What are you drinking? - Scotch.

Hi, I'm Mark. - Hey, man! How you're doing?

You know this guy? He's coming to Stockholm. The greatest rocker in the world!

Are you going to see him? - I tried to get tickets but they're all gone.

For you, sir! - Thanks, man.

What's that? - A friend from town.

170 crowns and some change!

# A simple dream. #

# A beautiful dream of truth. #

# Don't ever let it die. #

It's an amazing time. Turmoil in Paris, Prague and the Third World.

A world revolution is underway. In 100 years, they'll be writing about this... and about us.

You really think there'll be a revolution in Sweden? - I'm sure, we just need to light the fuse.

What you mean "light the fuse"?

For example, the Social Democrats will meet tomorrow at the ABF House.

We hold them accountable for selling out the working class.

They'll throw you out.

In that case, they'll prove they have no arguments.

Or they won't dare throw us out because it looks undemocratic.

Either way, we win. 'Cause we are right... we are the future!

Are you tired? I'll show you your bed.

I'm still curious about this revolution. You think it'll be peaceful or there'll be bloodshed?

There's no historical precedent of a revolution without blood.

If we can create a just society...

...and reach socialism, which is history final goal, how many casualties are too many?

Imagine a society where money means nothing!

I'm going home.

Thanks for tonight.

Right on, man! See you.

About wages, different jobs have different responsibilities...

You heard what I said about an action? - Yes... about a conference.

Will you join me? - I'm at Nina's every night.

It's before you open. - Then I'll come.

You'll see what my real life is about.

I guess we can start without my daughter. You'd like something to drink?

Thank you. The Crown Prince had a good time at the premiere.

We weren't affected by what happened.

We've increased security so that something like that won't happen again.

Excellent... but that's not our main issue.

We hang out together and like to have fun but some of us are underage.

Some are 18... maybe 17... - Yes... but...

...we can arrange that, we could formally say...

...you have subscribed to the disco and you're a closed company.

Even better if we had a membership card.

Of course... just give me all names and I'll arrange that.

Or I get 10 blank cards...

I don't think we can do that.

We want this to go smooth for the both of us.

Yes...

We don't usually do this.

I understand, I'll be very discreet.

When is he coming? - The Crown Prince?

Next Saturday night, if that's ok. - You will be welcome.

See you on Saturday then. - See you. Thanks.

Thanks. - Thanks.

Forgive me but this doesn't feel good.

I know but we need the Crown Prince.

We could lose our liquor license over this.

Yes but at this point, I'm willing to take the chance.

I heard the Crown Prince loves seafood...

...so a seafood plate must be in the menu.

A seafood plate? - Yes, you know what that is?

Of course I know what it is... - Good, we'll have some of that.

It will be a pain in the ass! - Carmen... we help each other.

What meat does he like?

One can make a meat platter with poultry, pork and beef.

Yes... but it's going to be seafood, so do that with shellfish.

Thank you.

You heard what she said! Let's get to work!

Here you are! - Mom, this is Mark.

You didn't even call. - I did but you didn't answer.

I was working. Where have you been?

I'm an adult, mom... - You missed the meeting.

This is Mark, our new disc jockey. - Nice to meet you.

He played some records at the afterparty last night.

Do you have experience as disc jockey? - Sure, back in the US, before I was drafted.

One night, as a test.

If it works, you can continue. - Great, sounds perfect.

Is that a love bite or you rubbed against a hedgehog?

Hi there! - Look at here! The Crown Prince's friend!

Sure... I'm starting as DJ tonight. - Good for you... and for us.

I'm just gonna check out the gear. - Sure, go ahead.

Are you doing ok up there? - Yeah... I just...

I don't...

Thanks. - You're welcome.

You see... I'm not used to this particular equipment.

It's called a "record player". - Right...

Peter. Long time no see. - Indeed.

It's nice here. Ester says you'll renovate next summer.

That's the plan.

Shall we take a walk?

What are you making out of table games and wardrobe?

I'd rather not talk about that.

Sure but... it would be a big loss for you if we happened to lose guests.

What is it exactly we're talking about? - Do you have anything to do with the bomb at Nina's?

I will start very calmly and get them to my side.

When do we start knocking them down? - During the discussion.

How much resistance do we offer?

We make it hard for them to throw us out but we do not counterattack.

All ready? Shall we do this? - Yes!

We go straight in. Just act normal.

Good morning. - It's a closed meeting.

Closed? It's in every newspaper! - We have the right to participate.

Will you please step aside so everyone else can come in?

There's no one else here. - Step aside, please.

You have no right to keep us out! - I said step aside!

Fucking scum!

No! Don't hit them!

Damn fascist!

Capitalist pig!

Calm down!

Angelo, have you seen Christina? - No, sorry.

I think we misunderstood each other a bit.

At Nina's, I was getting part of the proceeds from the entrances.

That's not how we do it here.

I thought it was common knowledge. That's how "The Big L" works.

You get paid a lot already and that's gonna be it.

Ok, here's what we do.

I give up my share of the entrances and if this becomes a success, we re-discuss the whole thing, ok?

No.

That was all, right?

This is just not fair, for the records.

I asked Mirko if he had anything to do with the tear gas bomb.

And...? - He said no, of course. I don't know what to think.

I told you.

How about we trust him?

But if you want, I can keep an eye on him.

Listen...

I understand you're worried... but don't be.

Your hands are full with Henriksdal and Oscarshof. Let me take care of the club.

Ok.

I know you're doing a great job.

Where is it? - Downtown.

It's not an illegal club, is it? - What's wrong?

I can't go to an underground club!

I understand... but we...

We can go somewhere else... City Club is also good... or else...

Maybe just a few minutes. - Great, it'll be fun.

Be careful not to trip.

There's a drag show tonight.

They call themselves "The Downtown Ballet". I know Jörgen.

There he is! Jörgen! - Welcome, my darling!

This is Maggan. - Margareta.

Welcome. - Jörgen usually borrows my bras.

You wear the same size? - Maybe I'll borrow yours next time.

Can we have two beers?

Hey, Stockholm! Welcome to Nina's!

Are we gonna have fun tonight? Are we gonna feel the groove tonight?

You're on fire, tonight! My name is Mark Knight... let's rock this place!

A warm welcome to Downtown!

You're beautiful! We love you! - We love you!

Enjoy the show... but above all... enjoy each other!

What would Britt say about you being here?

The cops are coming!

By bag... Lilly?!

Listen up! Good evening.

This'll be over soon. We just want to see your IDs on the way out.

Come on. Driver's license or valid ID.

Thanks. Sorry about the thing in the beginning.

I guess we'll have to make do for tonight.

Thanks anyway.

It was pretty good... at least until you screwed up.

I'm sorry to say that but... Nina is losing control of the situation.

She's breaking rules... I have a bad feeling.

You could look for another job.

I can't leave now, she needs me and I owe her everything.

But what if everything goes belly up?

I'm bringing cookies!

I may start my own business. - What?

Angelo... you could work in any restaurant.

The important is to have a steady income. There's 4 of us.

We got caught in a raid. - Where were you?

Downtown, in an underground club.

She took you to an illegal club? - Yes but it was my decision to go in.

The police came and took everyone's name. - That was really stupid.

Probably one of Lilly's RFSL buddies called the police to draw attention on themselves.

"Social Counselor is into homosexual, illegal clubs". Just what she wanted.

Something wasn't right. It was like they knew we were coming.

I should never have brought you. - It was my decision.

Now you see how society is basically fascist. - Yes.

I'm not going to ask you where you've been 'cause you're in fact an adult.

But an adult does her job and yours is hostess at Nina's!

Mom... - I haven't finished yet!

Your DJ can't play records, you come and go as you please,

you act like it's all a big game but we can actually go bankrupt!

I've been held in custody. - What?

I searched the whole town for a DJ but no one could do it.

Mark was better than nothing and yesterday we were arrested at a political meeting!

Come... - Don't touch me! Your nightclub is not everything in life!

I'm sorry... - I'm doing as best as I can!

I'll make a complain against the police. - Why?

They only go after us. - They're after every illegal club.

But only we have to show ID's. - What would be the crime then?

I don't know... discrimination? That's the lawyer's job.

It's a bad idea. - Why?

It would be a waste of time.

Drawing a little attention is never a waste of time.

So that's what it's all about! - Partly.

Did you call the police? Did you take me there for publicity?

Do you trust your colleagues at RFSL? - Are you serious? Of course I trust them!

I hate to be manipulated!

She hasn't even ordered oysters and lobsters! I'm the one who got the call!

Yes, it's bad.

She and Andersson do nothing but argue over every single tiny little thing!

I will talk to her. - I don't know how this is going to end, Nina!

Hi. - Hi.

My kitchen is in chaos and tonight the Crown Prince and friends are coming.

Any chance you can be my Head Chef? - Tonight?

Say what you want. - I can't tonight.

I understand.

Nina, wait!

They can do one night without me. What does the Crown Prince like?

You get another chance. - I won't let you down, I promise.

We couldn't get anyone else. Try not to screw up again.

Got ya.

Plate in the hatch!

Three plates and a CB! - Three plates and a CB!

Three plates. - And a "sebbe".

It's never been called like that before. - What was that?

We usually call it "chateau" but I guess "sebbe" is fine too.

Ready for the onslaught? - Absolutely.

When are they coming? - Soon. I'll tell you when they're at the door.

Perfect.

All good?

I'm so glad you're here.

Afterwards you are welcome to the club. - Definitely.

Enjoy dinner.

Hi! - Hi. How's it going?

Good, we're waiting to the Crown Prince. - Is John here?

Didn't you talk to him? You don't know what happened?

We were going to a political meeting but the police arrested us before we even went in.

They used clubs on us. - Is that true?

I was held in custody, couldn't even make a call. - That doesn't sound right.

I'll talk to you later. Welcome, you got a membership card?

Yes, we showed them at the door.

How old are you? - 21.

Come on... how did you get these? - Don't tell her.

You got them from the Crown Prince's friend, Fredrik. It's ok, just admit it.

We're glad to have the Crown Prince's friends. Did you get them from Fredrik?

We didn't "get" them... we bought them for big money.

Is the Crown Prince even coming? - No, he's in Germany hunting.

Fredrik is there too.

Screw the Crown Prince. He'll come another time.

We withdraw the membership cards so everyone will get mad at Fredrik.

We'll be ok.

Sorry... if all this is anyone's fault then it's all on me.

You're also doing the best you can.

You wanna tell me what happened yesterday? - I'll tell you tomorrow.

I want you to know I'm so happy we're doing this together.

Mrs. Löwander? Can you come to the door? - Sure.

Hi. - Hi. You got a table in the disco club?

About 10 people, happy to sit together. - Absolutely.

Great, that'll make Mr. Hendrix happy.

Welcome. - Thank you, lady.

Hey, what's going on in the corner? - It's Jimi Hendrix!

You're fucking kidding me! - No, it's Jimi Hendrix!

I thought you'd like to meet him.

Enjoy. We'll come back with more. - Thank you.

Let's turn up the heat with some rock 'n' roll. This one is from the greatest rocker in the world.

Now let me see you get down!

Thanks for coming here tonight. - It's the only place in Stockholm I would take Jimi to.

Is ok with you if I play a few songs?

This one's for you. - Thanks.

You were good tonight. Really good.

Thanks for the night. I must get up early and study tomorrow.

Thanks for coming. I'll see you.

They were beaten and thrown in jail while going to a political meeting.

So I heard. - What the hell is wrong with the police?

They do their job. We share information with them.

What am I telling you this for? They weren't planning a murder!

I understand you're angry. Let's have a coffee.

Lots of people tonight. - Yes, word is Hendrix was here.

Everyone's happy then.

The also loved the food. They cleaned up the kitchen. - I'm glad.

This kitchen has been missing you.

I guess I also missed this kitchen a bit.

Will you come back to stay?

We can discuss that. - Good.

Nina's was packed tonight. - What do we do then?

Nothing. Peter is suspicious. - Not anymore. I took care of that.

You've been good... handled it well.

If something goes wrong, I'm fucked.

At Aladdin you didn't hesitate.

It was different. Trulsson tried to fuck me, it was personal.

This is personal to me. - How?

The first thing I did when I opened here was talk to you about protection.

But Nina Löwander doesn't think she needs it.

For Nina, that is still dear, old Djurgårdskällaren.

So I just say... "welcome to the game".

"Same rules apply for you and for us".

Come here.
