Badehotellet (2013) s01e02 Episode Script

How clumsy can you get? I'll deduct it from your wages, Martha.
- Who are you? - Fie.
We can't hide a pretty face like that out here in the kitchen with you.
You promised I could go to Hornbæk with Ella.
There are lots of young men.
I'll go all the way with the man of my choice.
- Is this the place to eat plaice? - He's the one I told you about.
- I want to think only of us.
- It's wrong when I'm expecting! Bank packages are a thing of the past.
I agree with the manufacturer.
- Who are you? - Fie.
- Are you working here all summer? - Yes.
Mrs, Andersen is very nice, And so are the girls I work with, I think about you and Dad, I read in a newspaper- - about a sanatorium for people with damaged lungs, I'll send Dad there once I've earned enough, What are you dreaming about? - Have you had a good look around? - I've only been down to the water.
- You've seen the view from the dune? - No.
It could be dangerous.
You could trip over a skull.
Two hundred people are buried up there.
It's true.
An English ship shipwrecked here in 1874.
They didn't know what to do, so they buried the dead in the dune.
- You don't believe me.
- No, I don't.
Then why do they call it Dead Man's Mountain? - We could take a walk there tonight.
- Fie, Mr.
Andersen wants a word.
Do come in.
Who had a gentleman caller this morning? Who did the young man I saw visit? Are you sure of what you saw, Julius? His suspenders were flapping behind him.
I know what I saw! Out with it! Who was he calling on? - You, Otilia? - Certainly not.
- Was it you, Martha? - Perhaps it was a guest.
At 5:00 a.
M? Why do you look so secretive? Anything on your mind? - No, Mr.
Andersen.
- Are you sure? Was it you? Don't take more shoes than you can remember the room numbers of! I can.
The number is here.
Good idea.
We never thought of that.
Never thought of writing on the guests' shoes? I wonder why! Don't just stand there! Put the shoes back and set the table for breakfast.
When I find out whose visitor it was, out they go! This is a respectable hotel.
- These are yours.
- Just put them down.
Aren't you getting up? Dad will be angry if you're not at breakfast.
- Get up.
- Hush! Don't take losing a bet with Ella out on me.
- What? - I heard you on the telephone.
You bet about who would kiss a man first.
You're afraid Ella will win.
You little brat! Don't you spy on me! - Let go! - Here's your punishment.
Get Mom and Dad to go swimming, so I can call Ella.
Alright! - But only if I get your blue necklace.
- In your dreams! Good morning, Mr.
Aurland.
Your shaving water.
- Bring my shoes, Hjalmar.
- I only have two hands.
- Good morning, Mrs.
Aurland.
- Good morning.
Otilia, do you think it was Martha? Edith, careful now.
I'm not saying it was her, but she has a crush on Mads.
- She would have woken me up.
- You're a heavy sleeper.
Martha doesn't care about Mads.
And she's going to a folk high school this fall.
- A blessed morning, dear ladies.
- Good morning, Mr.
Weyse.
You look just like the three Graces at the museum.
Are you familiar with them? Lovely girls.
But without a stitch of clothing.
It was the style in the Antiquity.
Do you know what they're fiddling with? - No.
- Cupid's arrow.
They're sick with love.
Wasn't that what you were talking about? - No.
- I see.
Lovely Miss Fie.
Would you bring my wife a cup of tea - - so she can fortify herself when she wakes up? Yes, Mr.
Weyse.
Lovely.
You look a bit bleary-eyed this morning.
- Was it a late night? - No, I'm fine.
Morning.
You've already had a dip.
How was it? Wonderful.
Very bracing.
- Must I tell you again? - I'll see to them.
- No.
Miss Malling! - Leslie and Bertha, wait for me.
Good morning, gentlemen.
You've taken a dip, Weyse.
- How was it? - It was I'm going to breakfast.
- Good morning.
- Morning.
Surely you'll agree - - that Mrs.
Aurland is the picture of health this year.
It's all the raw food.
- Morning, Adam.
- Good morning.
I didn't see you.
- Ready for new conquests? - Excuse me? Any new plants in the offing? There is one actually.
A rare variety.
It's related to buckthorn.
- It's a beautiful - Put your shoes on.
- It's time for breakfast, Adam.
- Yes, Mother.
- Slept well, Mrs.
Fjeldsø? - Yes, thanks.
If that blasted cock would let me.
It's too bad you didn't run it over, Madsen.
Did you see that? The light switch gave off sparks.
I touched it, and there was a spark.
- Inform Andersen of the switch.
- He's on the beach.
- Then tell Mrs.
Andersen.
- It gives off sparks! Was that the electrician? Has he already fixed the switch? I don't pay a lazy electrician 50 øre an hour for something - - I can do myself.
I'm surprised that you called a repairman without asking me.
You were on the beach, so I thought it was urgent.
Did you think, Molly? I doubt it.
If you had - - you'd have made a note and waited till I came home.
I've told you time and again to leave the financial side to me.
- Yes.
- And why is that? Because you know nothing about it.
Look what just happened.
I had to pay an electrician for coming in vain.
As if it wasn't expensive enough to install that damn electricity.
- He shouldn't talk to her like that.
- If he finds out that it was me - Martha, he's already forgotten.
- Mr.
Andersen doesn't forget.
When he finds out, he'll fire me.
There goes my character reference.
I'll never find a new position.
I told Mads that it was too risky.
- Are you done, girls? - Yes, ma'am.
- We could wait till it warms up.
- You say we're here to go swimming.
- Isn't that Amanda's? - She gave it to me.
- That was nice of her.
- Yes.
Where is she? - She's not coming.
- What? We're here to go swimming! I'm not paying seven kroner a day, so she can sit and sulk.
Leave her alone, Georg.
Let's go.
I want to place a call to Hornbæk.
- It's bracing.
- Aren't you going in? - In a minute.
- It's cold as hell.
Let me warm you up.
- Can we make a deal? - A naughty one? - About Amanda.
- What about her? - Can't you make peace? - I'm very peaceful.
She wants to go to Hornbæk for a reason.
- She's at a difficult age.
- Maybe there's a young man.
- She isn't ready for that.
- She's 19.
- I got pregnant at 19.
- What? Who was that bounder? - It was you, Georg.
- Me? You seemed so - And so does Amanda.
- That's terrible.
- Does she have a young man there? - She's fine as long as we're here.
- It took you long enough.
- I was at the beach with Frederik.
- What happened? - You'll be so envious.
I don't know where to start.
Listen to this.
We met some Swedes who wanted us to go to Mölle.
We sailed over, and there was an amazing orchestra.
- You and Frederik? - And lots of others.
I thought, "Now or never.
" So I said: "I don't feel well.
Can we rent a room?" - Did you? - Yes.
We went upstairs.
And? We were about to do it, but then I thought: "If I give in, will he still respect me?" - So you didn't do it? - No, we sailed home.
And Frederik held my hand.
He's such a darling.
Then I told him how I felt.
And he said I was being silly.
Of course, he would respect me.
So tonight's the night.
- Tonight? - Yes.
How about you? Have you chosen someone? Yes.
Of course.
Here's my little Amanda.
What's this? Has someone been beastly to you? You deserve a turn on the floor with Uncle Edward.
- Stop it! - Not until you smile.
That's better.
Let the child go.
Edward! Yes.
Madam.
- How far can you walk? - I'm not ill.
That's good news.
Uncle Edward Leslie, leave the salt alone.
Your sister is sitting nicely.
Bertha, that isn't nice.
Did Otilia have a visitor? - Otilia? - Of course not.
- Where did you get that dress? - You gave it to me.
It's very pretty.
- Are you alright? - I'm feeling a bit nauseous.
- I'll go lie down.
- I'll go with you.
No, I'll be fine.
- How about some more shrimp? - I think I'll have another plaice.
Let's give it something to swim in.
Andersen! Give us more schnapps.
Certainly.
The Private Bank was mentioned again on the radio.
The supervisory board was involved.
The manager applied to Governor Green of the National Bank - - for support in buying the bank's shares.
It's rather worrying.
Excuse me, but I'm not a Private Bank customer.
The amateurs that run it are not a threat to the whole financial sector.
- I see it as a symptom.
- Is someone ill? - Yes, that bank.
Are you a customer? - Not as far as I know.
- Otilia, is there more mayonnaise? - Of course.
We have other problems at the factory.
We don't know how to spend all the money we're earning.
You chose wisely.
Tobacco will never go out of style.
We're thinking of investing in a cigarillos machine.
- Is there such a thing? - Yes, it's new on the market.
- It can do the work of ten men.
- Sounds like a good idea.
However, women roll cigarillos.
They're too cheap to replace.
Now women are demanding equal wages.
Have you heard? That will be the day.
But only until they get married.
Then we have to train new ones.
- Aren't we going to play this year? - Play? Must you talk business all the time? Listen, everyone.
Little Amanda wants to play.
Any takers? Yes, Mrs.
Fjeldsø is game.
- No thank you.
Mr.
Andersen? - Yes.
Were you informed of the faulty switch? Yes.
I'll see that it's repaired.
The school teacher you mentioned.
When will she be arriving? Unfortunately, she won't.
An illness in the family.
- So she's not coming? - No.
Mrs.
Fjeldsø is disappointed - - that the teacher isn't coming.
She'll never find a girl for Adam.
- We'll serve coffee and cake soon.
- I need a break.
- You look tired.
- What's that supposed to mean? No break, Martha.
New customers.
They want sandwiches.
If my Lord and Lady and the young sir can make do - - I will serve lunch.
- They say it's a fine establishment.
- It looks very nice.
All the best people come here.
The best people? Got you! Unhand my wife immediately! The nerve! Did you see who that was? Edward Weyse, actor at the Royal Theater.
If my Lord and Lady will come this way, I'll see to your baggage.
I'll tell Mikkelsen.
- Who is that? - The Count of Frijsenholm.
Come on! Aren't we going to play anymore? - Did you see that? - Yes.
They have a bigger motorcar.
- He could be good for Amanda.
- You can't be serious, Georg.
Do you prefer a good-for-nothing from Hornbæk? No, this boy has class.
- I'm waiting for an explanation.
- Of what, Father? What are we doing here? The fresh air will do Father good and distract you from the new tax laws.
I know it's been rough.
We had to sell land.
If wouldn't have been necessary if it weren't for your gambling debt.
I'd like to make it up to you.
I have a business proposition.
- I'm not interested.
- Let's hear what Ditmar has to say.
Did Father notice the summer villas on the way out here? The hotel keeper is afraid that the tendency is spreading.
I think he's right.
Land prices are very low.
I have my eye on a coastal area.
- If we parcel it out - For summer villas? I can find other investors, but I wanted to offer it to you first.
I'm not interested.
And I seriously doubt - - that you can lure others into that scheme.
- I hope you enjoyed lunch.
- It was fine, thank you.
- Who owns the big motorcar? - Madsen the merchant.
- What's he like? - Rich.
You don't say! He's been coming here for years.
He usually says that this place - What does he sell? - He sold goulash during the war.
- Now he sells expensive properties.
- He sounds like an interesting man.
Can we sit near him at dinner? As it happens, everyone sits in their regular seat here.
But I imagine that can be changed.
Of course, sir.
I'll do my best.
You can be sure of that.
- You can take your break now.
- Thanks, Mrs.
Andersen.
- Miss Madsen wants to bathe.
- Did she forget where the beach is? - She wants to take a bath.
- We need two days' advance notice.
- Mr.
Andersen promised her.
- Goodness! - Martha, fire up the cooker again.
- What about my break? I can do it.
It's no problem.
She's not herself today.
Is there something wrong? No, I don't think so.
- It's ready, Miss, - Thank you, - Do you have a boyfriend? - No.
- What will you do after the season? - Find a new position.
You're lucky.
You see new places.
And are allowed to work.
My parents just hope to marry me off.
- What do you think of Mr.
Weyse? - He seems nice.
He can be extremely funny.
You should see him at his best.
And he knows about women.
- You must have noticed.
- I don't know - Is he too old? - I haven't given it much thought.
Could you find some paper and a pen? I want to write a note that you'll put in Mr.
Weyse's pocket.
- In his pocket? - In his dinner jacket.
There's no one there now.
- It's not dangerous.
- I don't think so.
- You heard what your father said.
- This is none of his business.
Please? I was just checking the water in your washstand.
Andersen! Andersen! So this is where you're hiding.
- Mr.
Madsen.
- What lovely specimens! I thought they'd make a nice lunch.
- Certainly.
- They are a bit expensive.
We'll figure something out.
What is he doing here? He brought the lobsters.
- What happened to Enevoldsen? - That's his father.
He's gone back to fishing.
Off the coast of England, I think.
- Then it's your loss.
- True.
As you know, sometimes you have to make do.
Are the count and countess staying for dinner? Yes, they're spending the night.
- Could they sit near us? - So you can talk? I'd like that.
You know that everyone sits in their regular seats - - so in that case, I'd have to move Mrs.
Fjeldsø.
I understand, but you can make an exception.
Of course.
If you'd like to view the arrangement now - He's waiting for Julius.
- Does he live alone? No, but his mother doesn't get out much after what happened.
- Morten's big brother drowned.
- Did he? Yes.
Right down there.
They were fishing.
The wind rose - - and they couldn't get through the breakers.
Then the boat capsized.
His parents stood on the beach and saw it happen.
Morten survived.
His father didn't think he made an effort to save his brother.
Now they can't stand each other.
- So he went back to fishing.
- What could Morten have done? Nothing.
But when you lose a child, maybe it helps to blame someone.
Hello.
- Do you work all the time? - Fie was going to take a break.
Will you come for a walk and see the sheep? I don't have time.
I have laundry to do.
Morten, shall we settle the accounts? As it happens, I can't find a buyer.
So I can't pay you the usual amount.
Here.
I promised to take them off your hands.
Thanks, but it's no trouble.
I'll try at the View Hotel.
No, Morten.
They're here now.
- But there's no pressure.
- Alright, alright.
Here! - I'll take them.
- I hope you can use them.
Hang on.
- Did you visit the girls this morning? - Excuse me? I see.
Someone else visited our little Fie.
Goodbye, Morten.
- I didn't have any callers! - Then who did? Was that necessary? She knows who had a caller.
I'll get it out of her.
Coffee and beverages will be served in the parlor.
- Any business while on vacation? - Not a damn thing.
- No exceptions? - Only if a good idea should arise.
Where is Amanda? My daughter that you met.
Shall we? She'll be along.
- Who were we seated next to? - Mr.
Madsen, a merchant.
Why were we moved? I thought you'd be more comfortable down there.
- We'd like our regular seats.
- I'll see what I can do.
- I saw him look through the keyhole.
- You're always seeing things.
- I'll put the children to bed.
- Must I say it again? - Miss Malling will do it.
- Then I'll say good night.
All your coddling is why they're so naughty.
Here comes Aurland.
Spare me his bad news.
Come along now.
Mr.
Frigh? Mr.
Frigh.
I just heard the news.
- Of course you did.
- It was about the Private Bank.
- It might interest you.
- It's not my bank.
They mentioned other banks that were also in trouble.
If yours wasn't mentioned, you can rest assured.
- Been listening to the radio again? - Hjalmar insists on cold food.
- Do you have a light, Mr.
Weyse? - Have you taken up smoking? It's ages ago.
As long as Daddy doesn't see me.
Of course.
Here you go.
"Meet me at the bench.
A.
" A? Mrs.
Aurland? The beautiful heroine.
What are you mumbling about? - It's a beautiful night.
- Yes.
Let's take a walk.
But Mrs.
Fjeldsø wants to teach you how to play bridge.
Won't you go for a walk with me? Are you still angry that we can't while I'm pregnant? Absolutely not, my dear.
Not at all.
The sea air is bracing.
So many properties are being developed out here.
We're fond of the hotel.
Have you been down to the beach? - My husband finds walking difficult.
- You can drive there.
I won't subject our motorcar to those sand dunes.
If you like, I could take you.
- Now there's an offer.
- Yes.
- Amanda! Amanda! - Yes, Daddy? We're going to the beach.
Will you come? - No thanks.
I've seen it.
- She has.
But we'd like to come.
Wouldn't we, Father? - To the beach it is.
- Excellent.
- A horned owl? - Yes.
I woke up early and heard its characteristic hoot.
Could it be true? Those careless hunters have almost exterminated all our birds of prey.
- Your turn.
- Sorry.
Then I got up.
The clock hadn't struck four.
I didn't even put my suspenders on properly.
There's a small window in the attic.
But alas, false alarm.
Excuse me, but were you in the attic this morning? Yes, this morning.
Are you interested in birds, Miss Otilia? Not really.
Check.
- Mr.
Fjeldsø was in the attic.
- Doing what? - Looking at birds at 4 a.
m.
- Andersen saw someone at 5 a.
m.
He got it wrong.
I just told him.
You should've seen his face.
Thanks.
I might as well tell you.
It was Mads.
- Mads? - I told you so.
- Mads? - Don't look like that! - I love him.
We're getting married.
- What about the folk high school? I never promised to go there.
- What does 'sans' mean again? - No trumps, dear.
It's French.
- Of course.
Silly me.
- You're doing just fine.
Your husband has a very large repertoire.
Little Mrs.
A.
I'm here now.
And here am I.
- Amanda! What are you doing here? - Did you get my note? - Yours? - Whose else? - Why did you want to meet here? - Why do you think? I have no I see.
You want to be on stage.
And you want Uncle Edward to help you.
Then what? You know I'd do anything for you.
Anything? My dear child! What would your parents think if they happened by? They're out with the young count, whom Dad thinks is a good match.
- Dear little Amanda - I'm not little anymore.
Now listen I've known you since you were ten.
You're forgetting I'm married.
- It never made a difference before.
- How would you know? I know.
There was the chemist's wife Child! - No.
- What's wrong? Amanda.
We We can't.
- Think of your father.
- No.
He's a good friend of mine, and he can be very determined.
- You're afraid of him.
- No, no.
Not at all.
Dearest Amanda.
It's not as if I don't think that you're beautiful and wonderful and 19 years old.
Perhaps one day when you're older - - and don't live at home, then Uncle Edward could come for a visit.
Doesn't that sound? Especially here.
We love it.
What is the difference between here and the other places? What? - It's the light.
- I can see that.
It looks lovely.
I feel like taking a dip.
Why don't you ask my daughter to go swimming? She loves it.
Amanda? I don't know how your motorcar feels about swimming.
- The waves are steadily approaching.
- It's not a problem.
We've been coming here for years.
Thank goodness it was only Mr.
Fjeldsø in the attic this morning.
I think you should apologize to Fie.
Here's the shopping list.
If you order groceries tomorrow Leave them alone.
Don't drink any more, Julius.
The guests haven't gone to bed yet.
As if you haven't done enough.
You've driven my only child away.
- No, I haven't! - Yes, you have.
You've made me the world's loneliest person, Molly.
Not only did you have to work here at the hotel - - when my wife died, but you took her place in my bed.
It was too much for Poul.
- That's not why he left.
- Yes, it was! Fie.
Excuse me.
Mr.
Madsen is asking for Mr.
Andersen.
- What? - It's Mr.
Madsen.
- Julius, you should - Can't you see I'm on my way? It's been a hard winter.
He usually perks up when the guests come - - but this year it's worse.
I don't know why the tide came in so quickly.
It was unfortunate.
Sea water takes its toll on a motorcar.
I know that! We'll need a shovel, so we No, I know the beach too well to use a shovel.
It's pointless.
The count can't spend the night there! - Is his motorcar flooded as well? - Are you drunk? His is right there! - He's in my bloody motorcar! - How about a horse? - Good idea.
- We'll ask him.
- No! Anyone but him.
- He has the only horse around.
The young count and I tried shifting the motorcar.
- We were unsuccessful.
- What about your parents? I'm glad you got out.
Hopefully you saw the sunset.
It was fantastic.
Tell my chauffeur to get the motorcar ready.
We're leaving.
You're going to lose that bet.
It won't happen this year.
Not even Uncle Edward can be bothered.
- Were you spying on us again? - What else do I have to do? You might as well give up.
All the men here are too old.
Good boy.
I have to salvage a motorcar.
- I know.
Mr.
Madsen's.
- It is his motorcar? - I thought you knew.
- We'll be off then.
- Let his motorcar sail away.
- Then I'll be blamed.
In that case, we'll save it, but it will cost him.
- Would you like to come? - No, I have to go inside.
I just wanted to tell you that Mr.
Andersen was wrong.
One of the guests was in the attic early this morning.
I didn't have a caller.
It would be a lucky man who had that opportunity.
- What's its name? - Horse.
That's its name.
