The Nursing Home (2026) Movie Script
No...
No!
No...
No! Away!
Away!
Go away!
What are you doing?
Is it Bjrn?
It's me, Joel.
Your other son.
- Are you hungry?
- No, I ate on the way.
So you left your
employees to come here?
No, Bjrn is the one with the company.
Right, right. I knew that.
Have a good night's sleep,
see you in the morning.
Are you hungry?
No... Good night.
Eat it up, so we can leave.
- Hello! We're from the moving company.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Ehh. Come in.
- Thanks.
- So... where should we start?
- Okay... I haven't really...
Uh-oh, this doesn't look...
Sorry. I haven't thought this through.
I just arrived last night. Sorry.
- But that's my dresser...
- Yeah?
What are they doing with it?
Don't you remember,
we talked about this?
- When people get old, they need help.
- I get in-home care.
I know,
but eventually you need more than that.
It can also get lonely, alone in a house.
There'll be no one to talk to,
and no one to help if something,
for instance, would happen.
Bengt...
Bengt was waiting for me
on the other side.
- Okay...
- But don't tell the kids.
They'd think I've gone crazy.
OXAZEPAM
Check it out.
Here it is. It looks lovely.
What are we doing here?
You're gonna try to live here for a while.
Look how cozy it is. Like a hotel.
- Like being on vacation.
- I want to go home.
Let's at least have a look.
People are waiting for us there.
It's going to be great.
No, I need to get home to Bengt.
But that's not possible,
because he's dead.
No, he isn't!
- Oh yeah, very dead, thank God.
- No!
You're so mean!
- You think so?
- Yes, I do.
Come now.
- Someone's supposed to meet us...
- Good day.
My name is Edit Andersson.
I am the secretary to Director Palm.
Hi, Edit. I'm Joel and this is Monika.
Good day.
My name is Edit Andersson.
I am the secretary to Director Palm.
- Hi, welcome, great to have you here.
- B4!
You'll have to excuse me. Wait here,
someone will be right with you.
Come, let's have a look in here.
- Is it time to eat?
- Are you hungry?
- I guess we should eat something then.
- Then I'm going to pull your braid.
- No...
- You never know...
Why is this locked?!
It's not locked, Roland. It's open.
But you're supposed to be in here now.
- Hi!
- Hello, dear. How are you?
I'm good.
But everything is rearranged here.
- It's fall.
- No, Jan-Erik. It's spring.
Spring? What grows in spring?
- Well...
- Crocus?
- Yes.
- And carrots!
Hi, Monika. Welcome.
It's been a while, nice to see you.
Our manager, Elisabeth,
is at a conference,
otherwise she'd also be here.
You're also going to make
a cute nameplate like this one.
I'm sure this place is lovely and all,
but it's not for me.
No, come on now.
This is your apartment.
But... that's my table.
And my dresser...
And Bjrn.
I'll leave you two alone.
See you in a bit.
My painting...
the painting my dad gave me.
WELCOME TO EKSKUGGAN
Joel, are you really
going to leave me here?
What have I done wrong?
- Hi.
- Hi. How are you?
- Good. And you?
- Good.
Um... I didn't find the car keys.
- How've you been?
- I've been good.
-Yeah. How strange... eh.
-Yeah. It is...
Just so you know,
It's worst in the beginning.
Getting used to the change,
then it gets better.
Oh... Thank you.
- Of course.
- I... Um...
- And you, do you still live in Stockholm?
- Yup.
- Same old. How about you?
- I'm still here. I live out on the cape.
- Oh, that's great.
- With Markus.
Poop-Markus?
Well, he's not at all
like that anymore, he's...
- Great. That's awesome.
- Mm-hm.
- How long will you be here?
- I'm just going to clear out the house.
- We're selling it. And then...
- Oh, okay.
Then there isn't much left here
for me to do.
Okay, I get it.
Yeah, we... It would be fun to...
- I should probably head back in.
- Yeah. I need to get going too.
It was nice to...
I'm sure we'll run into each other.
- Yeah..
- Later.
Hey, Nina...
It's good that you're here.
Hi, Monika!
- What are you doing here?
- I work here.
You work here...
But I'm not supposed to be here!
There's been a mistake!
Is this Joel?
Oh, it is Joel. He's so cute!
And this must be
Bjrn and the grandkids.
Bjrn has a company
with fifteen employees.
Wow, not bad. And what does Joel do?
He... Oh, I don't know what he does.
I think he's working with music.
- We know each other, Joel and I.
- Oh, I see...
- Why don't you rest for a while?
- I need to get home to Bengt!
- Are you hungry?
- Oh, come on!
- Why won't anyone listen to me?!
- I'm listening. I'm listening.
Would you like a sandwich?
You know, the kind
that you used to make for us?
Remember?
With cinnamon, butter and sugar?
Hm?
LIQUOR STORE
Damn, Joel?!
Hey!
-Long time.
-No kidding!
- How've you been?
- Why haven't you called?
I haven't called anybody.
I'm just here to pack up the house.
- Mom's moved in to Ekskuggan.
- Oh, no...
Man... that's brutal.
- Yeah, it's a bummer.
- Yeah.
Listen, I gotta go.
Nice to see you though.
Yeah, you know, I'm around
I still live in the same place...
You should stop by and...
knock about for a bit.
- I'm pretty low-key these days.
- Yeah, I get it.
- Good, good, good.
- Yeah.
- Alright. Great, catch you around.
- Yeah, take care.
- Bye.
- Bye!
No, you dirty dog!
Bodil, are you still up?
- There's a naughty man out there.
- Where?
Come, let's put you to bed.
He wants me naked,
but it won't get him anywhere.
Let's sit down. Good. Let me fix this.
In that case, we should
probably pull down the blinds.
No, leave him be.
He'll probably give up soon.
Okay. Don't stay up too late, okay?
Good night!
- I'm leaving now.
- Mm-hm.
D6 may need some extra attention.
- Monika in D6. She's new.
- I get it.
- How was your day?
- Good, good.
How was everything
at "Hotel Incontintental"?
Good. Monika was admitted today.
- Monika?
- Monika Edlund. Joel's mother.
She didn't recognize me.
- Was Joel there?
- Yeah.
- He hasn't changed.
- In what way?
He's like the same,
just a bit more worn down.
Yeah, well, things didn't really
work out for him, did they?
- Maybe we could invite him over?
- What, are you kidding?
- No. He was my best friend, after all.
- Yeah, and you're so close now.
No, but it's not like
I invite friends over every day.
No, you barely have any.
- I'm sorry for what I said earlier.
- It's okay.
I don't mind you seeing
him. But maybe not here.
Okay.
- Shall we...?
- I'm almost done here.
Why don't you go shower first?
I'll be right there.
- Hello, Nina speaking.
- Hi, it's Joel.
- Hi!
- Hi.
- What are you up to?
- Nothing much.
Me neither...
Um...
I was just wondering if she...
Has she said
anything about my dad to you?
Um... Just that she wanted
to go home to him.
What did you do then?
I distracted her to take her mind off it.
That usually works best.
She never spoke about him,
and now it's all
"Bengt this" and "Bengt that".
I was just wondering if that's...
I mean, is that normal? Or...
I think you need to be
prepared for some things like that.
It's common
during a change of environment.
Stuff resurfacing, I mean.
She said that he
that he waited for her.
Did you know she had a stroke
and was dead for several minutes?
Yeah, I read that in her medical records.
She says she met him then.
How sick is that? You'd have hoped that
she'd at least be free of him after he died.
Do you know who I ran into today?
Someone else I'd prefer not to see...
Who?
Katja.
No!
Damn.
How was it?
She seems to still be up to her old tricks.
Nothing has changed. Dark stuff.
Yeah, but not as dark
as when you lost your virginity to her.
Stop it!
I know, right? If my life was a movie,
people would be like, "What the fuck?"
So true!
I can't sleep, they won't stop screaming.
Come, let's get you to bed.
- But they're so angry!
- Okay.
I have to put her to bed. Hold on.
There... Here we go...
There, there...
And... there you go.
Okay, get some sleep.
- But can't you hear it?!
- No.
Cover your ears. Good night.
- "Cover your ears."
- Yeah, that was a bit...
Hold on, what the fuck...?
- Jesus Christ...
- I'll have to call you back.
- Okay. Love you. Bye.
- Love you.
Is there somebody in here?
Olivia...
I have something for you.
- I think the apple has slipped out.
- That's what we're here to fix.
You're so kind!
- Hey, did you get a hold of the son?
- Yes, he's on his way.
It'd be good if you join us,
since you know him.
It'll help lighten the mood.
- Did you get a hold of Olivia?
- Yeah.
- And what did she say?
- She never touched D6.
And we're supposed to believe that?
You know how it is.
She must have fallen when she was alone.
We can't have staff
that just takes off like that.
- If more of us were here at night...
- You have to drop that!
You don't need to worry about Olivia.
She's not coming back.
Good day! My name is Edit Andersson.
-I am the secretary to Director Palm.
-They're always getting it on!
I have a child
that doesn't want to see me anymore.
No, Jenny is here all the time.
- Hi, Joel!
- Hi.
How nice to finally meet you.
- Monika is fine now.
- Hi.
We've had a doctor check her out
to make sure nothing's broken.
And we'll be raising the bed barrier
to prevent this from happening again.
And she'll also get a floor mat sensor.
Good.
You can go in and see her.
But then she needs to get some rest.
- Joel, can you stop by my office after?
- Thanks.
Joel...
Hi.
How are you feeling?
Not great.
I don't want to stay here.
It's okay.
But I'm so scared.
Bengt...
You don't have to be scared.
He can't hurt us anymore.
Come here.
I always thought you'd die first.
From AIDS.
So damn silly!
- Does it taste good?
- Mm-hm. Very good.
But after this we have to call Daddy.
He's picking me up today.
The son from D6 never came by.
- Did you speak to him?
- No.
How's he doing?
He seemed drunk or something.
- I didn't notice anything.
- Okay.
How are you feeling, Monika?
Nina...
- I'm glad you recognize me.
- Of course I do.
You were Joel's best friend, after all.
We're so sorry
about what happened last night.
- Are you in pain?
- I got what I deserved.
What do you mean?
Did somebody hurt you?
You must be pretty pleased right now.
What?
He would never
have even looked your way
when he was young
and a big hockey star.
- I'm sorry, what?
- And now you're living together
out on that fancy cape.
- Did Joel tell you that?
- Why would he?
He doesn't give a shit about you.
You who were so tough and smart...
ready to conquer the world.
She looked like she did
when Dad was alive.
Oh damn. That must be tough for you.
- Mm-hm...
- I feel you.
So how are you guys?
Pretty good, actually.
It's warm. 25 degrees.
We're out on... Everybody says hi.
What are you doing? Sounds like a fire...
- Yeah, I'm burning stuff.
- Why?
So that I don't have to transport it.
Be careful with the house.
- Did you call the broker?
- Yeah.
Good.
- Hey, I got to...
- When are you coming?
I need to go to the office
when I get back and sort a few things.
- Are you joking?
- No, I'm not.
But haven't you heard a word I've said?
This is a crisis.
I hear you. But I just need to fix a couple
of things first.
Can't you ask one
of your fifteen employees to do it?
No, it doesn't work like that.
How could I have known that she would
get a spot this week?
What the hell. I have managed everything
regarding her stroke,
the home care service,
talked to her doctor...
Oh yes, you're so very impressive.
What do you want, a medal?
Listen, if it's about mo...
"Will that be all?"
"The supermarket check-out girl,
at my local store..."
La, la, la...
Good day. My name is Edit Andersson.
I am the secretary to Director Palm.
Good day.
I'm here to meet the director.
Good day. My name is Edit Andersson.
I am the secretary to Director Palm.
My God, did you forget
to write down my appointment?
- He won't be happy about that.
- Uhh...
So, what do you think
they'll be serving for lunch?
Miss Andersson's employment is hereby
terminated, effective immediately.
Be gone.
No, it isn't. Cut it out.
Good day. My name is Edit Andersson.
I am the secretary to Director Palm.
That's probably not the only thing
you were - you whore.
Mom, what are you doing? Stop it.
Good day...
My name is... Edit Andersson...
I am the... secretary to Director... Palm.
"Like the young birch in the forest"
- "let me grow strong and true..."
- Sing while you still can.
- Why are you so mean all the time?
- Shut the fuck up!
I'm going to smash your skull in.
Just you wait.

This causes your muscles

Motionciser uses thermotherapy...
- They're boiling.
- Straight into the oven!
How are you?
She sounds like dad now.
- Just relax, it'll be fine.
- Fine?!
- Yeah, it will...
- This is a fucking madhouse!
- She's just getting worse!
- Shh!
- May I have this dance?
- Not now, Jan-Erik. You'll have to wait.
Look, go home and rest for a while.
- Can you just listen?
- I am. Can you listen to me?
It's Monika.
Monika!
Monika, can you hear me?
Go away!
Go! Get out!
Get out!
What's wrong, Mom? What's going on?
Monika? Monika!
Monika, can you hear me?
- Mom?!
- Relax, just try to breathe.
Let me free you of that.
I'm just going to check your eyes.
It may be a bit bright. There.
- The spotlight is on you.
- Oh, that would be a first.
That's it. Wonderful.
Everything looks great.
Now I just have to
check your reflexes...
- Then you'll be out dancing, I reckon?
- Well, are you asking me out?
I examined her
and couldn't find any deviations.
Everything looks normal.
But she was lying there, back arched,
shaking...
- That can't be all that normal.
- I'll order some tests.
Both blood and urine.
And I'll also prescribe some Diazepam.
Shouldn't you try to figure out what's
wrong instead of just sedating her?
Are there any other tests
we can do to reassure Joel?
There aren't any signs
that she'll have another episode...
Not the way things look now.
If that happens,
we'll do a CT scan of the brain,
and I'll refer her for further testing,
but right now...
- Why not do that right away?!
- We'll sit tight for now.
I understand this is hard for you.
It's not about it being hard for me!
There's something wrong with her!
Or what?
Yeah, but
that's why she's here.
Mm-hm.
What's wrong, Solveig?
- They're shouting again.
- Who?
Can't you hear it?
She's screaming!
H-E-L-P...
Monika, what are you doing?!
"What are you doing?
What are you doing?!"
"What are you doing?!"
- Good morning!
- Morning.
- It's Monday, what happened?
- I don't know.
- Are you off to work?
- I'll transfer to you.
- 1,200.
- Yeah.
Joel. Hi.
Okay.
What?!
Ow...
Ow, ow...
It really hurts.
- It'll be over soon.
- You're so kind to be here with me.
Hi, Olivia.
Monika has had another incident,
she's in the hospital.
Someone should kill her.
Did she do something to you?
Tell me.
She's listening.
Monika?
Olivia, can you please tell me
what happened?
The alarm went off...
I thought it sounded like
somebody was in her room.
And so did Solveig...
But Solveig is obviously a bit...
But
when I went in to check
it was just quiet.
She was just lying there, as
if she was... dead.
I don't think she even blinked.
So... I went into the bathroom
to see if anyone was there...
And,
and that's when...
We bullied a girl when we were kids.
We... We didn't realize it then,
we just thought she was so weird
later, she drowned.
They said it was just an accident,
but I've... always wondered.
Monika knew.
She said that she'd brought
the girl back for me.
And that she would always be with me,
for the rest of my life... from now on.
- You were so brave in there.
- Do you really think so?
- Yes.
- It actually hurt quite a bit
I can imagine. Watch out.
Hang on.
What is it?
What?
- It's...
- What are you laughing at?
I'm laughing at... Olivia.
What are you thinking about?
I... I really wish there was a way
for us to reach each other.
You smell like cock.
What did you say?
Did you say something?
Could at least have brushed your teeth.
Joel?
Joel?
How are you?
I see dad all the time,
so either I'm crazy,
or he's
back somehow..
You're not crazy.
And she just sat there, a total wreck...
The poor thing.
Just staring into space.
It's him.
But why would he go after Olivia?
Who the hell knows?
He probably gets off on it.
Hey.
I know how it sounds.
But she knows things she shouldn't know.
But maybe you actually did smell of cock?
I have to try to help her
try to reach her somehow.
I have the night shift tomorrow
and I'll be alone.
Then we can talk to her in peace and quiet.
Bye.
- Oh, no. Did I wake you?
- What time is it?
Did you work yesterday after all?
Yes, I had to cover for a colleague.
- And how did it go?
- It went well. As usual.
Because I called Ekskuggan
and you weren't there.
Yes, well... No, I was at Joel's
because we needed to talk about Monika.
- It was a work discussion.
- Sure.
He's very worried, and so am I.
I can really tell how worried you are.
It reeks like a damn brewery in here!
Dammit!
And some water...
He wants to hit you.
It was close this morning.
How are you, dear?
You make him shower
before you fuck him.
It's Gun.
But, Gun, are you still up?
Come, let's go to bed.
Dead.
- Come.
- Dead.
- Dead, dead, dead!
- Stop it!
Dead, dead!
Dead!
- Stop it now!
- Dead!
- Stop it!
- Dead!
- Stop it now!
- Dead!
- Stop it!
- Dead!
- Stop it!
- Dead!
Dead, dead...
Help me, Joel...
What should I do?
I can't take it anymore.
Tell me what to do.
Save me!
You can't leave me again.
He's hurting me.
Joel!
You've always been a victim.
Felt fucking great to hit you.
Don't leave me again.
- Why aren't you doing anything?
- What are you gonna do?
Freak!
This is all your fault!
- You shouldn't have been born.
- You have to save me.
Worthless. Sissy. Disgusting. Idiot.
Junkie.
He wants to kill me.
Freak.
I'm gonna kill her!
Stop it!
Let her go!
Let me in.
Mom, what are you doing?
It will be back soon.
Drop the knife.
Please drop the knife.
- I wasn't me who said those things.
- I know that.
What followed me back isn't even human.
My sweet Joel...
I should have protected you
all those years ago.
- No!
- No, no, no!
It's great that you could get this down
so quickly.
I hope you know that we did all we could
to make sure she was comfortable here.
It's so tragic. Sometimes you just don't
know what's going on in their heads.
The staff here are up to no good.
All they do is play cards
and go for walks...
It's too cold for walks.
The ceiling light is on...
- Are you leaving?
- Yeah, we're taking off.
That's a shame.
- Hey, sweetie.
- Hi.
- I'll wait over there.
- Okay, I'll be right there.
So, where are you headed?
I'm just going to take it easy
and find myself.
-You deserve it.
-I'll miss you.
Jan-Erik? You have a visitor.
- That's nice.
- It will be fine.
- I'm going to rest and then I'll see.
- It's going to be empty here without you.
- It's springtime!
- Yeah, spring's here.
Good day.
The number you have dialed is not in use.
Please check the number and try again.
Hi, it's Wiborg. I want to talk to my dad.
The number you have dialed is not in use.
Please check the number.
Daddy.
Daddy...
Daddy...
Daddy...
No!
No...
No! Away!
Away!
Go away!
What are you doing?
Is it Bjrn?
It's me, Joel.
Your other son.
- Are you hungry?
- No, I ate on the way.
So you left your
employees to come here?
No, Bjrn is the one with the company.
Right, right. I knew that.
Have a good night's sleep,
see you in the morning.
Are you hungry?
No... Good night.
Eat it up, so we can leave.
- Hello! We're from the moving company.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Ehh. Come in.
- Thanks.
- So... where should we start?
- Okay... I haven't really...
Uh-oh, this doesn't look...
Sorry. I haven't thought this through.
I just arrived last night. Sorry.
- But that's my dresser...
- Yeah?
What are they doing with it?
Don't you remember,
we talked about this?
- When people get old, they need help.
- I get in-home care.
I know,
but eventually you need more than that.
It can also get lonely, alone in a house.
There'll be no one to talk to,
and no one to help if something,
for instance, would happen.
Bengt...
Bengt was waiting for me
on the other side.
- Okay...
- But don't tell the kids.
They'd think I've gone crazy.
OXAZEPAM
Check it out.
Here it is. It looks lovely.
What are we doing here?
You're gonna try to live here for a while.
Look how cozy it is. Like a hotel.
- Like being on vacation.
- I want to go home.
Let's at least have a look.
People are waiting for us there.
It's going to be great.
No, I need to get home to Bengt.
But that's not possible,
because he's dead.
No, he isn't!
- Oh yeah, very dead, thank God.
- No!
You're so mean!
- You think so?
- Yes, I do.
Come now.
- Someone's supposed to meet us...
- Good day.
My name is Edit Andersson.
I am the secretary to Director Palm.
Hi, Edit. I'm Joel and this is Monika.
Good day.
My name is Edit Andersson.
I am the secretary to Director Palm.
- Hi, welcome, great to have you here.
- B4!
You'll have to excuse me. Wait here,
someone will be right with you.
Come, let's have a look in here.
- Is it time to eat?
- Are you hungry?
- I guess we should eat something then.
- Then I'm going to pull your braid.
- No...
- You never know...
Why is this locked?!
It's not locked, Roland. It's open.
But you're supposed to be in here now.
- Hi!
- Hello, dear. How are you?
I'm good.
But everything is rearranged here.
- It's fall.
- No, Jan-Erik. It's spring.
Spring? What grows in spring?
- Well...
- Crocus?
- Yes.
- And carrots!
Hi, Monika. Welcome.
It's been a while, nice to see you.
Our manager, Elisabeth,
is at a conference,
otherwise she'd also be here.
You're also going to make
a cute nameplate like this one.
I'm sure this place is lovely and all,
but it's not for me.
No, come on now.
This is your apartment.
But... that's my table.
And my dresser...
And Bjrn.
I'll leave you two alone.
See you in a bit.
My painting...
the painting my dad gave me.
WELCOME TO EKSKUGGAN
Joel, are you really
going to leave me here?
What have I done wrong?
- Hi.
- Hi. How are you?
- Good. And you?
- Good.
Um... I didn't find the car keys.
- How've you been?
- I've been good.
-Yeah. How strange... eh.
-Yeah. It is...
Just so you know,
It's worst in the beginning.
Getting used to the change,
then it gets better.
Oh... Thank you.
- Of course.
- I... Um...
- And you, do you still live in Stockholm?
- Yup.
- Same old. How about you?
- I'm still here. I live out on the cape.
- Oh, that's great.
- With Markus.
Poop-Markus?
Well, he's not at all
like that anymore, he's...
- Great. That's awesome.
- Mm-hm.
- How long will you be here?
- I'm just going to clear out the house.
- We're selling it. And then...
- Oh, okay.
Then there isn't much left here
for me to do.
Okay, I get it.
Yeah, we... It would be fun to...
- I should probably head back in.
- Yeah. I need to get going too.
It was nice to...
I'm sure we'll run into each other.
- Yeah..
- Later.
Hey, Nina...
It's good that you're here.
Hi, Monika!
- What are you doing here?
- I work here.
You work here...
But I'm not supposed to be here!
There's been a mistake!
Is this Joel?
Oh, it is Joel. He's so cute!
And this must be
Bjrn and the grandkids.
Bjrn has a company
with fifteen employees.
Wow, not bad. And what does Joel do?
He... Oh, I don't know what he does.
I think he's working with music.
- We know each other, Joel and I.
- Oh, I see...
- Why don't you rest for a while?
- I need to get home to Bengt!
- Are you hungry?
- Oh, come on!
- Why won't anyone listen to me?!
- I'm listening. I'm listening.
Would you like a sandwich?
You know, the kind
that you used to make for us?
Remember?
With cinnamon, butter and sugar?
Hm?
LIQUOR STORE
Damn, Joel?!
Hey!
-Long time.
-No kidding!
- How've you been?
- Why haven't you called?
I haven't called anybody.
I'm just here to pack up the house.
- Mom's moved in to Ekskuggan.
- Oh, no...
Man... that's brutal.
- Yeah, it's a bummer.
- Yeah.
Listen, I gotta go.
Nice to see you though.
Yeah, you know, I'm around
I still live in the same place...
You should stop by and...
knock about for a bit.
- I'm pretty low-key these days.
- Yeah, I get it.
- Good, good, good.
- Yeah.
- Alright. Great, catch you around.
- Yeah, take care.
- Bye.
- Bye!
No, you dirty dog!
Bodil, are you still up?
- There's a naughty man out there.
- Where?
Come, let's put you to bed.
He wants me naked,
but it won't get him anywhere.
Let's sit down. Good. Let me fix this.
In that case, we should
probably pull down the blinds.
No, leave him be.
He'll probably give up soon.
Okay. Don't stay up too late, okay?
Good night!
- I'm leaving now.
- Mm-hm.
D6 may need some extra attention.
- Monika in D6. She's new.
- I get it.
- How was your day?
- Good, good.
How was everything
at "Hotel Incontintental"?
Good. Monika was admitted today.
- Monika?
- Monika Edlund. Joel's mother.
She didn't recognize me.
- Was Joel there?
- Yeah.
- He hasn't changed.
- In what way?
He's like the same,
just a bit more worn down.
Yeah, well, things didn't really
work out for him, did they?
- Maybe we could invite him over?
- What, are you kidding?
- No. He was my best friend, after all.
- Yeah, and you're so close now.
No, but it's not like
I invite friends over every day.
No, you barely have any.
- I'm sorry for what I said earlier.
- It's okay.
I don't mind you seeing
him. But maybe not here.
Okay.
- Shall we...?
- I'm almost done here.
Why don't you go shower first?
I'll be right there.
- Hello, Nina speaking.
- Hi, it's Joel.
- Hi!
- Hi.
- What are you up to?
- Nothing much.
Me neither...
Um...
I was just wondering if she...
Has she said
anything about my dad to you?
Um... Just that she wanted
to go home to him.
What did you do then?
I distracted her to take her mind off it.
That usually works best.
She never spoke about him,
and now it's all
"Bengt this" and "Bengt that".
I was just wondering if that's...
I mean, is that normal? Or...
I think you need to be
prepared for some things like that.
It's common
during a change of environment.
Stuff resurfacing, I mean.
She said that he
that he waited for her.
Did you know she had a stroke
and was dead for several minutes?
Yeah, I read that in her medical records.
She says she met him then.
How sick is that? You'd have hoped that
she'd at least be free of him after he died.
Do you know who I ran into today?
Someone else I'd prefer not to see...
Who?
Katja.
No!
Damn.
How was it?
She seems to still be up to her old tricks.
Nothing has changed. Dark stuff.
Yeah, but not as dark
as when you lost your virginity to her.
Stop it!
I know, right? If my life was a movie,
people would be like, "What the fuck?"
So true!
I can't sleep, they won't stop screaming.
Come, let's get you to bed.
- But they're so angry!
- Okay.
I have to put her to bed. Hold on.
There... Here we go...
There, there...
And... there you go.
Okay, get some sleep.
- But can't you hear it?!
- No.
Cover your ears. Good night.
- "Cover your ears."
- Yeah, that was a bit...
Hold on, what the fuck...?
- Jesus Christ...
- I'll have to call you back.
- Okay. Love you. Bye.
- Love you.
Is there somebody in here?
Olivia...
I have something for you.
- I think the apple has slipped out.
- That's what we're here to fix.
You're so kind!
- Hey, did you get a hold of the son?
- Yes, he's on his way.
It'd be good if you join us,
since you know him.
It'll help lighten the mood.
- Did you get a hold of Olivia?
- Yeah.
- And what did she say?
- She never touched D6.
And we're supposed to believe that?
You know how it is.
She must have fallen when she was alone.
We can't have staff
that just takes off like that.
- If more of us were here at night...
- You have to drop that!
You don't need to worry about Olivia.
She's not coming back.
Good day! My name is Edit Andersson.
-I am the secretary to Director Palm.
-They're always getting it on!
I have a child
that doesn't want to see me anymore.
No, Jenny is here all the time.
- Hi, Joel!
- Hi.
How nice to finally meet you.
- Monika is fine now.
- Hi.
We've had a doctor check her out
to make sure nothing's broken.
And we'll be raising the bed barrier
to prevent this from happening again.
And she'll also get a floor mat sensor.
Good.
You can go in and see her.
But then she needs to get some rest.
- Joel, can you stop by my office after?
- Thanks.
Joel...
Hi.
How are you feeling?
Not great.
I don't want to stay here.
It's okay.
But I'm so scared.
Bengt...
You don't have to be scared.
He can't hurt us anymore.
Come here.
I always thought you'd die first.
From AIDS.
So damn silly!
- Does it taste good?
- Mm-hm. Very good.
But after this we have to call Daddy.
He's picking me up today.
The son from D6 never came by.
- Did you speak to him?
- No.
How's he doing?
He seemed drunk or something.
- I didn't notice anything.
- Okay.
How are you feeling, Monika?
Nina...
- I'm glad you recognize me.
- Of course I do.
You were Joel's best friend, after all.
We're so sorry
about what happened last night.
- Are you in pain?
- I got what I deserved.
What do you mean?
Did somebody hurt you?
You must be pretty pleased right now.
What?
He would never
have even looked your way
when he was young
and a big hockey star.
- I'm sorry, what?
- And now you're living together
out on that fancy cape.
- Did Joel tell you that?
- Why would he?
He doesn't give a shit about you.
You who were so tough and smart...
ready to conquer the world.
She looked like she did
when Dad was alive.
Oh damn. That must be tough for you.
- Mm-hm...
- I feel you.
So how are you guys?
Pretty good, actually.
It's warm. 25 degrees.
We're out on... Everybody says hi.
What are you doing? Sounds like a fire...
- Yeah, I'm burning stuff.
- Why?
So that I don't have to transport it.
Be careful with the house.
- Did you call the broker?
- Yeah.
Good.
- Hey, I got to...
- When are you coming?
I need to go to the office
when I get back and sort a few things.
- Are you joking?
- No, I'm not.
But haven't you heard a word I've said?
This is a crisis.
I hear you. But I just need to fix a couple
of things first.
Can't you ask one
of your fifteen employees to do it?
No, it doesn't work like that.
How could I have known that she would
get a spot this week?
What the hell. I have managed everything
regarding her stroke,
the home care service,
talked to her doctor...
Oh yes, you're so very impressive.
What do you want, a medal?
Listen, if it's about mo...
"Will that be all?"
"The supermarket check-out girl,
at my local store..."
La, la, la...
Good day. My name is Edit Andersson.
I am the secretary to Director Palm.
Good day.
I'm here to meet the director.
Good day. My name is Edit Andersson.
I am the secretary to Director Palm.
My God, did you forget
to write down my appointment?
- He won't be happy about that.
- Uhh...
So, what do you think
they'll be serving for lunch?
Miss Andersson's employment is hereby
terminated, effective immediately.
Be gone.
No, it isn't. Cut it out.
Good day. My name is Edit Andersson.
I am the secretary to Director Palm.
That's probably not the only thing
you were - you whore.
Mom, what are you doing? Stop it.
Good day...
My name is... Edit Andersson...
I am the... secretary to Director... Palm.

How are you?
She sounds like dad now.
- Just relax, it'll be fine.
- Fine?!
- Yeah, it will...
- This is a fucking madhouse!
- She's just getting worse!
- Shh!
- May I have this dance?
- Not now, Jan-Erik. You'll have to wait.
Look, go home and rest for a while.
- Can you just listen?
- I am. Can you listen to me?
It's Monika.
Monika!
Monika, can you hear me?
Go away!
Go! Get out!
Get out!
What's wrong, Mom? What's going on?
Monika? Monika!
Monika, can you hear me?
- Mom?!
- Relax, just try to breathe.
Let me free you of that.
I'm just going to check your eyes.
It may be a bit bright. There.
- The spotlight is on you.
- Oh, that would be a first.
That's it. Wonderful.
Everything looks great.
Now I just have to
check your reflexes...
- Then you'll be out dancing, I reckon?
- Well, are you asking me out?
I examined her
and couldn't find any deviations.
Everything looks normal.
But she was lying there, back arched,
shaking...
- That can't be all that normal.
- I'll order some tests.
Both blood and urine.
And I'll also prescribe some Diazepam.
Shouldn't you try to figure out what's
wrong instead of just sedating her?
Are there any other tests
we can do to reassure Joel?
There aren't any signs
that she'll have another episode...
Not the way things look now.
If that happens,
we'll do a CT scan of the brain,
and I'll refer her for further testing,
but right now...
- Why not do that right away?!
- We'll sit tight for now.
I understand this is hard for you.
It's not about it being hard for me!
There's something wrong with her!
Or what?
Yeah, but
that's why she's here.
Mm-hm.
What's wrong, Solveig?
- They're shouting again.
- Who?
Can't you hear it?
She's screaming!
H-E-L-P...
Monika, what are you doing?!
"What are you doing?
What are you doing?!"
"What are you doing?!"
- Good morning!
- Morning.
- It's Monday, what happened?
- I don't know.
- Are you off to work?
- I'll transfer to you.
- 1,200.
- Yeah.
Joel. Hi.
Okay.
What?!
Ow...
Ow, ow...
It really hurts.
- It'll be over soon.
- You're so kind to be here with me.
Hi, Olivia.
Monika has had another incident,
she's in the hospital.
Someone should kill her.
Did she do something to you?
Tell me.
She's listening.
Monika?
Olivia, can you please tell me
what happened?
The alarm went off...
I thought it sounded like
somebody was in her room.
And so did Solveig...
But Solveig is obviously a bit...
But
when I went in to check
it was just quiet.
She was just lying there, as
if she was... dead.
I don't think she even blinked.
So... I went into the bathroom
to see if anyone was there...
And,
and that's when...
We bullied a girl when we were kids.
We... We didn't realize it then,
we just thought she was so weird
later, she drowned.
They said it was just an accident,
but I've... always wondered.
Monika knew.
She said that she'd brought
the girl back for me.
And that she would always be with me,
for the rest of my life... from now on.
- You were so brave in there.
- Do you really think so?
- Yes.
- It actually hurt quite a bit
I can imagine. Watch out.
Hang on.
What is it?
What?
- It's...
- What are you laughing at?
I'm laughing at... Olivia.
What are you thinking about?
I... I really wish there was a way
for us to reach each other.
You smell like cock.
What did you say?
Did you say something?
Could at least have brushed your teeth.
Joel?
Joel?
How are you?
I see dad all the time,
so either I'm crazy,
or he's
back somehow..
You're not crazy.
And she just sat there, a total wreck...
The poor thing.
Just staring into space.
It's him.
But why would he go after Olivia?
Who the hell knows?
He probably gets off on it.
Hey.
I know how it sounds.
But she knows things she shouldn't know.
But maybe you actually did smell of cock?
I have to try to help her
try to reach her somehow.
I have the night shift tomorrow
and I'll be alone.
Then we can talk to her in peace and quiet.
Bye.
- Oh, no. Did I wake you?
- What time is it?
Did you work yesterday after all?
Yes, I had to cover for a colleague.
- And how did it go?
- It went well. As usual.
Because I called Ekskuggan
and you weren't there.
Yes, well... No, I was at Joel's
because we needed to talk about Monika.
- It was a work discussion.
- Sure.
He's very worried, and so am I.
I can really tell how worried you are.
It reeks like a damn brewery in here!
Dammit!
And some water...
He wants to hit you.
It was close this morning.
How are you, dear?
You make him shower
before you fuck him.
It's Gun.
But, Gun, are you still up?
Come, let's go to bed.
Dead.
- Come.
- Dead.
- Dead, dead, dead!
- Stop it!
Dead, dead!
Dead!
- Stop it now!
- Dead!
- Stop it!
- Dead!
- Stop it now!
- Dead!
- Stop it!
- Dead!
- Stop it!
- Dead!
Dead, dead...
Help me, Joel...
What should I do?
I can't take it anymore.
Tell me what to do.
Save me!
You can't leave me again.
He's hurting me.
Joel!
You've always been a victim.
Felt fucking great to hit you.
Don't leave me again.
- Why aren't you doing anything?
- What are you gonna do?
Freak!
This is all your fault!
- You shouldn't have been born.
- You have to save me.
Worthless. Sissy. Disgusting. Idiot.
Junkie.
He wants to kill me.
Freak.
I'm gonna kill her!
Stop it!
Let her go!
Let me in.
Mom, what are you doing?
It will be back soon.
Drop the knife.
Please drop the knife.
- I wasn't me who said those things.
- I know that.
What followed me back isn't even human.
My sweet Joel...
I should have protected you
all those years ago.
- No!
- No, no, no!
It's great that you could get this down
so quickly.
I hope you know that we did all we could
to make sure she was comfortable here.
It's so tragic. Sometimes you just don't
know what's going on in their heads.
The staff here are up to no good.
All they do is play cards
and go for walks...
It's too cold for walks.
The ceiling light is on...
- Are you leaving?
- Yeah, we're taking off.
That's a shame.
- Hey, sweetie.
- Hi.
- I'll wait over there.
- Okay, I'll be right there.
So, where are you headed?
I'm just going to take it easy
and find myself.
-You deserve it.
-I'll miss you.
Jan-Erik? You have a visitor.
- That's nice.
- It will be fine.
- I'm going to rest and then I'll see.
- It's going to be empty here without you.
- It's springtime!
- Yeah, spring's here.
Good day.
The number you have dialed is not in use.
Please check the number and try again.
Hi, it's Wiborg. I want to talk to my dad.
The number you have dialed is not in use.
Please check the number.
Daddy.
Daddy...
Daddy...
