- Shares in America? - Madsen has earned a fortune.
The child you had... Was it Morten?
Didn't you want to tell him during all those years?
- Did you tell him that it's his? - You've got no room for a child.
If he's bootlegging, then Morten is.
Bremer could get two years in prison. If so, Morten will get the same.
If we get married, you can live exactly as you want.
It's maybe not so bad. A countess, being looked after.
- That's freedom. - That was his wife.
She wants to know when he'll be back. I didn't know he was married.

SEASIDE HOTEL
Just feel the air, Therese.
- Will it stay nice? - That's what I ordered.
You can pay for a lot, but not that.
- There you are. Welcome. - Thank you.
- No Vera? - She went up.
How cosy!
It soon gets cold. We've got extra duvets and hot water bottles.
- Excellent. - Would you like coffee or tea?
No, thanks.
I'll tell Mrs Andersen that you're here.
A broker, Henriques, called. He'd like you to call him back.
The rates must have gone up again. Otherwise, he wouldn't call now.
Can't you take the day off? The cars will be here soon.
- I thought it was only one. - The Frighs and Weyse...
...and the Aurlands and Mrs Fjeldsø and her sister.
Did you invite Mrs Fjeldsø?
I don't want her to hear that we invited everybody else.
And her sister thinks she can talk to the dead.
I like her and Vera wanted her to come.
- Right... - Hello.
- Hello and welcome. - Thank you.
Thanks for letting us come in the off season.
That's nice.
- I didn't think you would come. - I only said it would be difficult.
- How many guests? - All the usual ones.
- They're going hunting. - Only the men.
That's not the only reason. Didn't Mrs Andersen say?
Count Ditmar and Miss Madsen got married.
- When? - 14 days ago.
The wedding was held at Frijsenholm, but the old count was ill.
Mr Madsen invited all the summer guests and paid for everything.
They've got cars picking them up in Aalborg.
Count Ditmar and Miss Madsen are driving themselves.
You said it again. If she's married, she won't be "Miss Madsen".
No, now she's a countess. Countess Amanda.
Would the countess like me to take the chamber pot?
- Otilia? Glad you could come. - I arranged that with Mrs Andersen.
- The first car is here. - I'll help with the luggage.
Well...
- Hello and welcome. - Welcome.
- Glad you could come. - You just had a premiere.
- We're performing on Monday again. - How did it go?
- People were polite enough to clap. - I don't think they were just polite.
- Is the married couple here? - Not yet.
They left Frijsenholm this morning.
We'll see you at lunch.
Mr Madsen seems happy. I suppose Amanda is a countess now.
Do you think that's the reason? It's his American shares.
Do you know how much they've gone up, since I sold mine?
- This again? - I shouldn't have listened to you.
- I could have sold the factory. - I'll take the blame.
I'm not blaming you. I should have known that you don't understand.
Madsen is probably one of the richest men in the country.
I don't know where Fie is.
- Have you heard she's leaving? - Fie? What do you mean?
After this. I thought Mrs Andersen had told you.
- She hasn't. - Then I shouldn't.
Of course you should. Why is she leaving?
- She's finished with Morten. - He's a bootlegger.
She hoped he would buy his father's house, but she gets upset.
She probably won't be back next year.
- What does Mrs Andersen think? - Exactly. She big had plans for Fie.
- Which plans? - When Mrs Andersen no longer wants...
- What did she want Fie to do? - Run the hotel.
- That sounds weird. - It won't happen now.
- I hope you can aim. - I'll do my best.
- Was the trip tiresome? - It was fine.
I was worried, but my wife is strong and brave.
- Pregnancy is not an illness. - I tell him that every day.
We look forward to seeing the couple.
We don't know why they're not here yet.
- They probably left a bit later. - The bed is tempting for newlyweds.
Do you mind, Lydia!
- Be careful with that one. - Yes, Mrs Fjeldsø.
- Was that a rifle? - Yes. Aren't we going hunting?
- Don't you want to have a rest? - Hjalmar, please stop fussing.
- I don't think I am. - Yes?
- Your camomile tea. - I didn't order that.
I did.
Thank you, miss.
Camomile tea is calming. That's not fussing.
- But we can go down, if you want to. - You go on. I'll be down later.
- What are you doing here? - I was invited.
When I saw you on the ferry...
- I felt like jumping in the water. - That would have been cold.
- Hjalmar insisted. - Obviously...
He's so proud of your little tummy and he has nothing to be proud of.
I ran from Copenhagen and that horrible premiere-
- and it's even worse here.
- Was the premiere that bad? - Bad?
I didn't know what I was doing. I never felt like my character.
I only thought of you and me.
My career is over. I might as well realise it.
Like everything else.
If only you knew what I've dreamt of doing to your husband.
Then Hjalmar should probably not go hunting.
Yes, you've got a point.
I'm no longer in control. Just imagine if I...
Edward, stop it!
- Are you nearly done? - The newlyweds are still not here.
- I hope they'll keep warm. - We could use the old petrol lamps.
Yes, let's do that.
Mrs Andersen?
- I'm sorry about letting you down. - You're not letting me down.
I do understand you. But I'm glad you're here now.
I think we better start, so they can go hunting in daylight.
- That's fine. - I'll tell them it's time.
Ditmar and Amanda will soon be here.
- That's the last one, Fie. - Thank you, Mrs Andersen.
I'll do the fish and you do the whipped cream.
- Lovely. - Why were you in Norway?
- We got off course, - Otto hasn't sailed for years.
- Thanks for pointing that out. - You're welcome.
- Was that a car? - No, it's the wind.
What happened then, Frigh?
Bremer said that he would like to be dropped off in Kristianssand.
Bremer was arrested and Otto's boat was seized.
- So no journey? - Unfortunately not.
- Have you got your boat back? - Yes, it's back in Aalborg.
- But now Otto's busy at the factory. - Indeed, my dear.
Why did you take a criminal along?
Can you always tell when a person is criminal?
Yes, their character gives it away.
Alberti managed to cheat the whole nation.
- And what about Harald Plum? - We read about that.
Everything he did was cheating.
- I'll have to defend my husband. - Don't make it a habit.
You can't compare Bremer to Alberti and Harald Plum. He was pleasant.
How much did the pleasant bootlegger get?
- Two years. - He shouldn't have gone to Norway.
Even Sweden would have been more lenient.
- Are they here? - It's a phone call for your husband.
- Who is it? - Your broker.
- Georg! You promised. - Right.
- Ask him to call me on Monday. - Yes, sir.
- They're here! - The party is in here.
- The married couple! - We had to start.
- We had a puncture. - Ditmar was very clever.
- Did you change the wheel? - I had a decent try.
A peasant came along and saved the day.
- Have some food. - We'd better clean up first.
- Cheers to them. - Cheers!
Your mother decorated the room.
- Tired? - No, I'm just thinking.
- What are we doing here? - It's your father.
He's showing off his wealth. Do we need to take part?
- We're the main characters. - He knows only one main character.
It's only for one night. Tomorrow, we're going to Paris.
Without any parents. Won't that be lovely?
- Is that your happy face? - No.
- It'll be nice to get away. - Yes, don't you think?
Let's go and have something to eat.
- It's windy. - It could be a lot worse.
- Haven't you been hunting before? - No. I've borrowed the equipment.
- There as well. - When you kill your first snipe...
...you have to kiss its sewer.
- Pardon? - You have to kiss its bum.
- Shall we go? - Isn't Mrs Fjeldsø coming?
- Maybe she changed her mind. - Definitely not.
Shall we go, gentlemen?
- Aren't you coming down? - In a minute.
- How are you? - We met yesterday.
I can still ask my daughter if she's happy.
Don't you start. Ditmar asks me three times a day.
Why don't you ask if Mrs Aurland or Mrs Frigh is happy?
- Or you. Are you happy, Mum? - I'm sorry I asked.
Of course I'm happy. I'm married, aren't I?
We're having coffee. It's cosy. The fire is on.
Just come down when you want to.
- Is it you? - Yes.
It's just me. It's odd being here out of season.
- The hotel seems very empty. - Yes.
- This was Mr Berggren's room. - Yes.
Yes, so it was.
- Has Morten moved home? - No, he...
He's in Frederikshavn. We're not together any more.
I'm sorry to hear that.
- Are you staying for the winter? - No. I'm going home on Monday.
- Will we see you next summer? - I don't think so.
That's a shame. I will miss you.
Have you heard from Mr Berggren after he left?
- No. - No, of course not.
Why should you?
I better join the others.
- Welcome, gentlemen. - Is this your land?
All of it. We couldn't build here because of those conservation fools.
So if you see a flower, please stamp on it.
- Gentlemen, break a leg. - Cheers. Break a leg.
Ditmar, can't you?
Let's go over here, Mrs Fjeldsø.
Weyse, you and Aurland can take the right flank.
- Me and Mr Aurland? - Yes.
Wouldn't it be more beneficial for him to go with Mr Frigh?
He's more experienced.
We'll help each other, Weyse. Let's go.
Here.
- Have you got cartridges? - Pardon?
Cartridges? Of course.
Oh dear, I think I might have forgotten them.
Have some of mine. There you go.
Otherwise, you can't shoot anything.
There's movement over there.
- I'm happy for you. - So am I.
I felt sorry for you when you had raw vegetables, but maybe it worked.
- Maybe it did. - Your husband looks happy.
- It's touching. Don't you agree? - Yes, it's lovely.
- It's your turn next, Amanda. - Pardon?
Little people in the house.
- More coffee? - Yes, please.
- It's empty. - That wasn't much.
I wondered if I could feel Mr Andersen-
- but I couldn't. He has found peace.
- I did feel something. - Mr Andersen?
No, not him. I could just feel that something was about to happen.
What? Will it be good or bad?
- Have you got any more coffee? - No, it's empty.
I'll get some more.
- Can we have some more coffee? - Certainly.
Hello, Mrs Madsen.
- We heard the hotel was open... - We just wanted to say hello.
- It's a private party. - Hello.
- I told them the hotel isn't open.
- No. - I'm sorry you drove all that way.
We're staying in Skagen.
We're working with the contractor that your husband hired.
- We walked along the beach. - Lovely and fresh.
Yes, lovely and fresh.
Tomorrow, we're going to Germany. I'm going to Dessau.
- I'm going to Berlin. - He invites everybody to Berlin.
Even Count Ditmar had an invitation.
- I'll take the coffee in. - Don't worry, I'll take it.
Could I possibly speak to your daughter?
She's having a rest.
- And Count Ditmar? - He's gone hunting.
Tomorrow, they're going to Paris for their honeymoon.
- Honeymoon? - Yes.
Amanda and Count Ditmar got married. That's why we're here.
You were too late, Mr Berggren.
But you had nothing to offer her. You're already married.
- Max has just got a divorce. - I'm sorry.
You'd better head back to Skagen. Please be quiet. People are resting.
We've got an hour. Let's open the wine.
Yes, Mrs Andersen.
They're back already. They only got these in all the wind.
- Just hang them outside, Edith. - Yes.
- Mrs Fjeldsø got them all. - Did she?
Yes, she kept hitting them.
Mr Madsen got angry.
- You've got a vivid imagination. - I was out there.
I'm talking about Fie.
Why should a maid run the hotel?
She was here all last winter. Should she have asked you?
- I wouldn't know what to do. - No, you wouldn't.
But Fie thinks about the hotel all the time.
The new things were her ideas. You know that.
But if you want to be envious, I don't mind.
- Already? - It was impossible with the wind.
- Why have you got two rifles? - One is Weyse's. He was odd.
We stood on the right flank and I told him about the baby.
He was waving the rifle around and I asked if he felt poorly.
Then he passed me the rifle and said: "I'm actually very fond of you."
Then he walked off. Very weird.
We better go and change. It's soon dinnertime.
I want to get warmed up first.
Will you do the brussel sprouts, Edith?
The ladies are changing, but the men would like hot toddies.
- Let's see to that, Martha. - I'll do it.
It's the storm...
- Light the candles. - We need lamps in the bedrooms.
Fie put the petrol lamps up there. You just need to light them.
- We hope the lights will work soon. - That would be nice.
- Let's drink to your debut. - I didn't get anything.
You don't say!
Neither did you. It was only Mrs Fjeldsø.
- It was impossible with the wind. - You didn't kiss a snipe's bum.
It was a shame about your holiday homes.
It wasn't just the conservation-
- but also the chap who bought the land.
- Was that Morten? - Yes, and he refuses to sell.
Didn't you blame him for Mr Lindberg's death?
- I don't know about blame... - They chased him for a year.
- So he wanted revenge? - He's mad. I saw it straight away.
- He had a screw loose. - Was that last summer?
When you ran over his chickens? It's amazing what that can lead to.
I don't care. I've left all that to my son-in-law.
- Congratulations. - I have a generous father-in-law.
Shares are the future. Isn't that right?
Absolutely.
Therese and I are planning to buy a house in New York.
- The candles are cosy. - Come and sit by the fire.
I'll go and change.
Gentlemen...
Yes?
- Have you got a minute? - Of course. Come in.
I probably shouldn't say this, but I know what you did for me.
- You may not be interested. - What is it?
- You've been very quiet. - Have I?
During dinner and in the living room.
It's been nice, hasn't it? Apart from the weather.
- Max and Philip dropped by. - Here?
While we went hunting? What did they want?
I didn't speak to them. Mum told them to leave.
Fie told me. Max got divorced.
- And he wanted to tell us. - They're going to Germany tomorrow.
Max for Dessau and Philip for Berlin. He'd talked to you about going.
What's that nonsense? Why should I do that?
- You should know. - I haven't talked to him.
Your mum was right to throw them out. I don't know why Fie runs to you.
Don't talk to Mum about it.
In your position, you shouldn't confide in an employee.
- Did you tell her about your affair? - Good night, Ditmar!
I'm sorry, Amanda. I'm sorry.
No, Ditmar...
- What is it? Is it him? - It's not him. It's you!
- Am I being compared to him? - Every time we talk about Philip...
You keep saying that. I'm not like that. I told you that!
I despise those people.
It's immoral what they do. It's illegal.
They should be punished in the worst possible way.
- Ditmar, let's go to sleep. - No, you're thinking about him.
Ditmar, let's stop now. We'll say something we regret.
Tell me that you love me. Say it. Say it!
- Do you want to wake them all up? - What are they doing here?
Nobody invited them.
I thought that door was open.
It's downstairs. I'll go down there.
I'll check the living room if you check the kitchen.
What are you doing here?
Where have you got all that money from?
- What's it doing here? - I can't have it.
They got Bremer and now they're after you.
Aren't they? Aren't they, Morten?
Didn't you say that you didn't care about me?
- Is that you, Morten? - She doesn't need to know.
- It's none of her business. - No.
Are you coming in?
- What were you doing? - Checking my room.
Morten has a room. He hid his money from his father there.
- How about coffee? - No, thanks. I'm going to bed.
She's angry with me.
- Can't you talk to her? - No, you have to do that, Morten.
- Before she leaves. - Is she leaving?
Come over tomorrow afternoon.
- It's your birthday tomorrow. - Do you remember that?
I won't forget that.
- Your birth was special. - What do you know about that?
What do I know about that...
I'll tell you tomorrow.
- Arne? - Morten, are you here?
- A schooner has run aground. - How many people on board?
- We need Julius' rope. - It's in the workshop.
Go on, I'll bring it down.
- I'll take his oil gear. - Yes.
What was it, Mr Aurland?
An English schooner with a crew of eight.
- That's what you felt. - I think it's something different.
- Have they all been saved? - They're still looking for one.
The storm made it difficult to sleep.
- It was probably worse for them. - Yes.
Count Ditmar and Amanda have gone on their honeymoon.
- They're going to Paris. - Oh, yes.
- An urgent message, Mr Weyse. - For me?
Would you like the birds in a box of ice, Mrs Fjeldsø?
No, I'm visiting my son and daughter-in-law in Uppsala.
- Give them to the gentlemen. - We'll pack them for them.
Thank you, miss. Thank you for ruining my breakfast.
- What is it? - The theatre reviews.
I've told them I don't want to see them!
Please excuse me. I'll take my coffee upstairs.
And you can burn that!
Miss? Let me have the envelope.
- Take it away! - You need to hear this.
They call it your "big triumph".
"Shakespeare's "Othello" was planned for last season.
"Instead, we had Hamlet. Edward Weyse excelled as Polonius."
"Previously, outside interference..."
Is that what he's saying? "Outside interference"!
He's not talking about this performance.
"Previously..." You know.
"His portrayal of Othello is so captivating-
- that it makes you think about being let down yourself."
"Our own lives, jealousy and desperation-
- was given a voice on the stage."
When Edward Weyse's despairing Othello kills his love, Desdemona-
- we realised that this man had been wronged."
"He had to act."
"Life was transformed to art."
There you go. It was fantastic.
- That's what he says! - Not only him. Read Politiken.
Do they really think I was good?
- Yes. - Oh, God...
I thought of you when I strangled Desdemona.
Naturally.
You will always be my muse.
I'm glad to hear it.
I read the reviews. They are very good.
Congratulations. Helene, the car is here.
- I'm coming. - Goodbye, Weyse.
Goodbye, Mr Weyse.
Thank you. Same to you.
- Now you're quiet. - Why did you get married?
Why did you?
- Weyse, the car is here. - I'm on my way.
- It was nice to see you. - And you.
So you couldn't resist reading the reviews?
No, it was... You can read them, if you like.
- I can get you tickets. - That would be lovely.
Are you coming, Georg?
- You can read that later. - Did he have Politiken?
STOCK MARKET CRASHED
20 BILLION LOST 50.000 INVESTORS RUINED
- That's why Henriques called. - Henriques...
- Miss? I want to call Copenhagen. - Yes, sir.
Let her carry down the luggage. We need to say goodbye.
What about General Motors? Planes and transport?
What about General Electric?
And US Steel?
And the telephone shares?
Goldman Sachs?
Them as well...
You've lost money on shares before. How much are we talking about?
- How much? - I don't know.
- How much did you invest? - All of it.
- There are loans as well. - Which loans?
That's how it works. I borrowed money to buy more.
So you owe money as well? How much?
God dammit, Therese! I don't know!
Can't we... Will we be broke?
Is it that bad? You shouldn't have given Ditmar the properties.
I don't understand how this can happen, Therese.
It's America.
I'm off, Mrs Andersen. I promised to be back after lunch.
- What's wrong? - Mr Madsen lost all his money.
- Has he lost his wallet? - No, it's the shares in America.
He didn't even say goodbye when he left.
- Has he gone? - They're leaving now.
- Without paying? - If he hasn't got any money...
- That's a lot of money. - If he hasn't got them...
Mr Madsen!
Are you driving, Mrs Madsen? I wanted to say goodbye.
- Goodbye. - I hope you enjoyed the stay.
- We did. Didn't we, Georg? - Was the food as expected?
Yes, it was very good. Please tell Mrs Andersen.
- We didn't say goodbye. - Can I give you this?
- The bill? Hasn't it been paid? - No.
I do apologise. My husband is poorly.
- Can I have your wallet? - They can send it.
No, we're paying now.
They were sorry about not saying goodbye. They enjoyed it.
The food was nice and we worked hard.
- They apologised for not paying. - That's good.
Thank you, Fie.
- You're incredible. - Did you just say "pay up"?
No, I didn't.
Wait a minute. Edith said you're leaving because of Morten.
Does he decide your life? You've got a special gift here.
Mrs Andersen wants to keep you. Do you want to waste that for him?
That's all I wanted to say. Give it some thought.
You said I could live as I wanted. You would never ask questions.
I'm not asking questions. But please come back in 14 days-
- when our honeymoon is over.
- What will you do? - Don't worry about that.
Why don't you go to Berlin? I know you want to be with Mr Dupont.
Would you please go? Now.
- They're all gone. - Let's have some lunch.
Sit down, Mrs Andersen.
You don't have to close everything up.
Go home to your dad and sister. I'll see to this.
I've thought about it. Otilia said...
- Is it you, Arne? - I'll leave this out here.
That's fine.
- Molly, have you got a second? - Yes.
- We got them all in. - That's good.
- Was one missing? - Yes. One of our own.
- It's your neighbour. - Is it Morten?
- Is Morten missing? - Yes. The boat was stuck.
Morten insisted on going out. He managed to get out there.
He got them all in, but when he went back, there was a big wave.
Then he was gone.
We haven't given up trying to find him.
He might have washed up on the beach somewhere, but...
I just thought you should know.
The stuff he left over there is gone. It's gone, Mrs Andersen!
He must have been there this morning.
- What did he have over there? - Money.
- Money? - The police were after him.
- Like Bremer. - But he's alive?
Yes, he is.
Max?
