Badehotellet (2013) s01e04 Episode Script

- Telephone, Count Ditmar.
- You'll get your money in a week.
What time do you get off, so you can see Dead Man's Mountain? I'll wait for you, - My money, please.
- It's hard, isn't it? - I could have drowned! - You have no idea.
- What's swimming in the nude like? - You can go with me tomorrow.
- Mr.
Andersen spies on you.
- Enough of your nonsense! He touched the dangerous wire! Did you move the wire? - What if I did? - We won't tell anyone.
There's no doubt about it.
The wind is rising.
- My cherry brandy? - It's on its way.
- I said - That the wind is rising.
We heard.
What did they say on the radio? Reception is poor in a storm.
But you still dragged the contraption all the way here.
- More coffee, please.
- Otto.
Your stomach Thank you, but I'm the best judge of how much coffee I can drink.
- Could we concentrate a little? - I am concentrating.
Is it my turn? - Any news about Mr.
Andersen? - Mrs.
Andersen is going to visit him.
We don't know how it could have happened.
Do we, Vera? How could he have been injured? We saw how he pushed the wire in behind the door frame.
Accidents and stormy weather.
How very sad, sad, sad.
- Won't you sing for us, Mr.
Weyse? - No, it's no use.
- Please? - There's no point in pressing him.
Move! - Leslie and Bertha, settle down.
- Must I tell you again? - Don't you understand Danish? - Leave the scolding to me, thank you.
Apparently it has no effect.
We have to start over for the third time! - Where is the governess? - As if she makes a difference.
- She comes from a good family.
- But she's not good with children.
- You should talk! Look at your son.
- Excuse me? - Let's not take that tone.
- I agree.
- Leslie! Bertha! - Please control the children.
They ran off.
I thought they were in here.
- Not anymore.
- I'll find them.
- They won't bother you again.
- The weather is definitely worse.
They're at each other's throats.
- If this weather keeps up - Mrs.
Frigh wants pancakes.
- I'm making lunch.
- It'll calm the children down.
- Only if we add sleeping pills.
- I'll make them.
The merchant and count want coffee and cognac.
- They're in Mr.
Madsen's room.
- Is Mr.
Fjeldsø in his room? - No, I was just in there.
- Is he botanizing in this weather? - Mrs.
Fjeldsø's cherry brandy.
- We've run out.
The grocer is coming today.
Has the wind made you silly? No.
Martha said you would come today, and here you are.
- Do you need help? - I want a word with Mrs.
Andersen.
- Where is she? - She's getting ready to leave.
The girls say you're going to the hospital.
- How is your husband? - We're hoping for the best.
We all are.
My wife sends her regards and hopes he'll feel better soon.
Thank you.
And you just had electricity installed! About your credit I usually give you credit until the season is over.
- Julius takes care of all that.
- Yes, but This might sound very harsh, but what if he doesn't get well? - What do you mean? - What if he doesn't make it? I hope he does, but if that were the case - - I'd have a lot of money at stake and so would other creditors.
Should we settle it? Yes.
Here's the amount.
- 497 kroner.
- And 32 øre.
- Yes, it's a considerable amount.
- Indeed.
- Don't you need the key? - Of course.
Perhaps your husband hid it somewhere.
- Did the grocer leave? - What? Yes.
He won't give us any more credit.
I couldn't find the key to the safe.
- What about the groceries? - We can manage lunch.
Yes but dinner It's schnitzel and mousse.
We're out of horseradish, capers, lemon and gelatin.
- And the meat from the butcher's.
- That's quite a lot.
I'll talk to Julius.
He'll have to tell me where the key is.
Then we'll call the grocer and have him deliver this afternoon.
- He's not coming.
- Who isn't? - The man you're waiting for.
- Who do you mean? Morten.
You might as well give up.
They haven't seen him for days.
- I couldn't care less.
- Then why ask Otilia about him? You're all eyes and ears! Just keep your mouth shut.
Or I'll tell them about the wire that put Mr.
Andersen in the hospital.
Yes? I said yes! Yes? I haven't even asked you yet.
Would you like to go to the Skaw? Your father lent me his car.
When? In this weather? Your father thinks you need to get away.
We could have lunch.
- You're inviting me to lunch? - Yes.
- Your father insists on paying.
- Did he give you money? How nice.
How much? 500 kroner? Are they moving into the finest hotel for a month? I didn't have anything smaller.
It's just lunch.
But 500? You must have had a smaller bill.
The count forgot his wallet.
And he had an errand to run.
- And you lent him money? - I like him, Therese.
He has ideas.
He's going to the town hall - - to find out who owns the coastal land.
It could be good business.
It's about time! Let's get some chow.
What was his errand? - It's none of my business.
- But it's your money.
It's just a loan.
Drop it.
- Are you off to the hospital? - Yes, I am.
Count Ditmar and Amanda can give you a lift.
Mrs.
Andersen might not want to.
- I wouldn't want to impose.
- It's no trouble at all.
Perhaps Mrs.
Andersen would prefer to be on her own.
Nonsense! A car is going to the Skaw.
Then she doesn't have be out in this weather.
I'll tell Count Ditmar to give you a ride.
Give your husband my best.
I hope he'll be back soon.
- So do I.
- I wish the storm would blow over.
It's getting difficult to pass the time.
Let's see what goodies you have for us today.
I think it went well.
When I open with two clubs, you shouldn't just say 'pass'.
You should say two diamonds, so I know you have a weak hand.
- How silly of me.
- You're still learning the game.
Hello, Mrs.
Andersen.
Are you off to the hospital? - Yes, I am.
- I hope he recovers soon.
- Thank you.
- We hope he'll be back soon.
You look a fright, Adam.
Where have you been? In Mr.
Andersen's workshop.
They let me borrow it.
- Are you pressing flowers? - No, not exactly.
You can't have lunch like that.
Let me see your hands.
- Go up and wash them.
- But I'm not finished.
- Wash your hands, Adam.
- Yes, Mother.
- Sibylle! - Yes? The theater sent me my part.
The little ladies there sent me "Hamlet" instead of "Othello".
- Shakespeare's "Othello"? - It's the opening performance.
I remember it as being sad.
What is it about? - Jealousy, dear Hjalmar.
- It's such an undignified quality.
And if your wife found someone else? - That would be her choice.
- Do you really think so? Emotions can cause great grief.
We must control them as best we can.
I quite agree.
So - Are you off to the hospital? - Yes.
I hope your husband feels better soon.
- Is there more sausage? - They want more herring salad.
It's Morten.
He's back.
- He wants to talk to you.
- I don't have time right now.
- Come with me.
- What do you want? - I'm sorry I didn't come that night.
- I didn't either.
Martha said you did.
My father came home, so I had to leave.
Otherwise we'd argue.
- Why? - He blames me for everything.
- For the thing with your brother? - What have you heard? You were He drowned in the spring.
You were fishing.
I have to go back in.
We're in the middle of lunch.
I'll come back later.
He hasn't spoken apart from this morning when he said 'Poul'.
- That's his son in America.
- Then he's getting better.
The doctor wants to make sure that his heart is alright.
Thank you.
Hi, Julius.
The nurse says you're making good progress.
I got a ride with Count Ditmar and Miss Madsen.
They had an errand in the Skaw.
It was nice of them.
Grocer Damgaard sends his regards.
He brought our groceries, but he's changed our credit limit.
He wants us to pay him.
I asked if it could wait till you came home - - but he wants to settle our accounts now.
I couldn't find the key to the safe.
Where did you put it? Can you hear me, Julius? Is it in your pocket? I need to know where the key is.
Damgaard left with our groceries.
Mrs.
Andersen called.
She doesn't know when she'll be back.
- How is Mr.
Andersen? - He can't speak.
- He can't say where the key is.
- What about the grocer? Without the key we can't call him.
We have to find the key.
You check the desk.
- Mrs.
Andersen looked there.
- Look again.
- How about above the door? - It's not there.
How about behind the safe? It would be like him to hide it there.
- Is it there? - Of course not.
Spring cleaning.
It's nice to get it over with on such a windy day.
- Could we have some coffee? - Of course.
Mrs.
Fjeldsø would like her cherry brandy.
Thank you.
I'll get it.
- Coffee, Mr.
Aurland? - Yes, please.
Now it looks like rain.
- Play some chess with Mr.
Fjeldsø.
- I don't know where he is.
- He's in Mr.
Andersen's workshop.
- Edward, you can play.
Chess? No thanks.
Too much brain power.
- My brandy? - I'm afraid we're out.
- Would you like a glass of sherry? - No thanks.
I assume you've ordered more.
Yes of course.
- I was right.
It's raining.
- Wonderful.
We were just enjoying the peace and quiet.
Oh Danish summer I do love you so Although you've often let me down Of clear blue skies you can boast And naked girls on every coast More and more I love you every time you smile The telephone call you ordered has been put through.
- Excellent.
- Providence was on our side.
Director Konradsen? Hello, hello! How are things in Rågeleje? Is the wind whistling over there as well? Yes indeed! I'm sorry to bother you in the middle of your vacation - - but I just received my part for the opening performance.
I thought it was a mistake, but when I called the theater - - they said we were doing "Hamlet" instead of "Othello".
Yes I see.
No, no.
But I must admit - - that I was looking forward to playing a jealous Negro.
I'm convinced that I could give Othello - - a dark and deep I beg your pardon? I'm well aware of the puzzle you have to solve, Director.
I often meet people who compliment me on my Hamlet, so I'm sorry.
Now I'm confused.
I'm not playing Hamlet? Polonius? Polonius? You must be kidding.
You can't possibly think I'd play a confused gentleman - - who is stabbed while hiding behind an arras.
If you insist, Director - - I'm afraid we'll have to part ways.
Considering all the offers I have from other theaters No, I see no reason why we should waste each other's time.
I'll apply for a leave of absence.
And you can play with your puzzle.
Have a wonderful summer, Director Konradsen.
Does he know who I am? The greatest actor in Scandinavia! Mom, Dad? Open the door.
- What is it, Vera? - Why is the door locked? We were taking a nap after lunch.
When is Amanda coming home? I'm bored.
- Read your book.
- I finished it.
Then go do a puzzle in the parlor, and we'll be right down.
Damn, woman! Get over here.
Did you find it? - Did they find it? - No.
What do we do? I have to start dinner now.
We'll serve what we have.
We can't just serve what we have! We have bacon and potatoes and plenty of peas, carrots and beans.
- We can make hotchpotch.
- Good idea.
We can't serve hotchpotch to the guests.
- We'll call it something else.
- Andersen's summer stew.
- But the menu says different.
- We don't have lemons for mousse.
- We have preserved pears.
- But the menu is on display! - Let's hope they haven't seen it.
- Of course they have.
- Maybe not.
- Let's change it now.
- It's Mr.
Andersen's handwriting.
- Your handwriting is nice.
- True.
- It is not.
Yours is nicer than his.
Okay.
Then I'll do it.
But I still think it's a bad idea.
Andersen's summer stew Pears and custard - Is the bridge game over? - Yes.
I thought we could take a walk.
- In this weather? - If we wrap up warmly You go ahead, dear.
It would be nice to go on a walk together.
- Aren't you going for a walk? - Not in this weather.
Mrs.
Frigh.
I fell asleep.
The wind makes me tired.
Where are the children? They were here a minute ago.
Perhaps in the attic.
I'll check.
- Mom, ,, - Leslie? Bertha? - What's wrong, Bertha? - It's scary.
There's a heart under the floorboards, and it keeps beating.
What are you reading to them? - It's a horror story.
- I like it.
That may well be, but Edgar Allan Poe isn't for young children.
Come, children.
I hope Vera found something to do.
- Amanda has been gone for hours.
- She's having fun with the count.
What did I tell you? He's just the man for her.
Polonius.
Now I'm like Polonius.
Of course you aren't! I'm glad you gave him a piece of your mind.
We don't need them.
We have my money, dear.
They're right.
I can't do anything.
I'm a nobody.
That's not true, Edward.
It's just the storm.
It's getting on everyone's nerves.
I fell in love with you - - when I was a little girl and saw you play Lieutenant von Buddinge.
Thanks very much for reminding me of the age difference.
I've been sidelined.
Tomorrow I'll be forgotten.
You know what? They can put "Also starring" on my gravestone.
And my name is in fine print.
That's my epitaph.
Edward, dear! Come here.
You're lovely.
- And a great artist.
- No, I'm not.
You are.
- Am not.
- Are too.
- Am I? - Yes.
Sibylle.
Darling.
I I've missed you terribly.
Enough Edward! You know we can't! I spoke to Mrs.
Fjeldsø about it.
- About our relations? - She agreed that it was a bad idea.
She hasn't had sex this century! Her husband could abstain.
- That's why he died at an early age.
- Let's go to dinner.
I'm sure it will make you feel better.
Your vegetables will be ready in just a minute.
Will you get Adam? He didn't hear the gong.
He heard it, Mrs.
Fjeldsø.
He asked for a tray.
Then I'll eat on my own.
- What's this? - I say! Aren't we having schnitzels and lemon mousse? - Not today.
- Just a minute.
The menu says so.
- Andersen's summer stew? - Pears and custard? - It said schnitzels and mousse! - Perhaps you're confused.
Or you are, Mrs.
Fjeldsø - - with your meddlesome advice for young women.
- It's delicious.
- It looks good.
The children love it, Otto.
Let's taste it.
- I managed to get some reception.
- What a relief! The storm will blow over, and tomorrow will be a sunny day.
Then drinks are on me.
Let's celebrate - - that for once Aurland gave us good news.
Hear, hear! It's only good news for those who like it.
- Personally - We know! Your wife enjoys a dip more than you do.
- Cheers! - Ladies, pour us a schnapps! Cheers! Good evening, Count.
A gentleman just telephoned you.
- He'll call again soon.
- Thank you.
- I'll be right back, Mrs.
Andersen.
- Get my packages.
Yes, miss.
We gave them hotchpotch.
- They liked it.
- And Mr.
Madsen gave a round.
I'll tell Julius about it.
He'll be proud of you.
I have to talk to the guests - - about the problem with groceries and the lack of service.
- We looked for the key.
- We'll try again.
We won't give up.
I don't think there's any money in the safe.
I got that impression from Julius.
I'll talk to the guests.
Wait, Mrs.
Andersen.
Wait till after breakfast.
They're in a good mood.
And you need rest.
Have you slept at all the past few days? You go on up, and we'll do the rest.
Won't we? Aren't you the sweetest things? What would I do without you? I had the money, but something unexpected happened.
I know I promised you an instalment.
If you'll just listen I heard the car.
I'm sorry! I'll call you back.
Say hello to everyone.
Some friends saw me in the Skaw.
- You were busy.
- I was at the town hall.
- I have interesting news.
- I was thinking more of Amanda.
- Did you have a nice lunch? - We didn't get around to it.
- Why not? - She bought clothes.
She asked for some money.
All I had was the 500-kroner bill, so I gave it to her.
I think she got carried away.
- Did you spend 500 kroner? - Must you smoke in here? - Out, Vera! - Dad has to talk to Amanda.
- Have you lost your mind? - Not so loud! She spent 500 kroner! - I'm bored here.
- I lent the count that money.
- He'll think you're irresponsible now! - And he won't want me? Count Ditmar was your idea.
You think marrying me off to a count will give you class.
No matter how much money you have, you'll still be working class.
- You scared me.
- I didn't mean to.
- What's up? - I'm looking for the key to the safe.
So you can empty it and run away? Andersen is poor as a church mouse.
The grocer won't deliver food if he isn't paid.
Mrs.
Andersen wants to tell the guests, and they'll leave.
Then we'll lose our jobs.
I can go home, but this is all Otilia has.
Edith says she'll manage - - but she sends money home.
- What's that? - A postcard.
Mr.
Andersen's son sent it years ago.
- Get it.
- Should I? - How did you know? - I turn my back when he pays me.
- One day the postcard was crooked.
- Is this the key? I don't know.
It fits.
Jesus Christ! This is a tidy sum.
Let Mrs.
Andersen see it first.
- Let's count it.
- We won't touch it until Then we won't touch it.
Come on! It isn't cold at all.
- Go on! - What are we doing? Let's do it together.
One, two, three, go! This is wonderful! Lovely! It's liberating! How much was there? Thousands? - At least.
- Where did you find the key? - Morten knew where it was.
- Was Morten here last night? - So Morten was here! - Don't say it like that.
- What else happened? - Nothing.
- You're in love.
- How would you know? Did he kiss you? No.
- He did.
I can tell.
- You can't tell! - I hope Otto isn't up.
- Who cares? - Good morning, Mr.
Weyse.
- Ladies.
- Are you going swimming? - How was it? Wonderful.
Mrs.
Aurland.
I'm terribly sorry.
I was just going for a dip.
- An hour early.
- Excuse me? Oh.
I couldn't sleep.
The heat, the smell The rain that came in through the window.
- Can I count on your discretion? - You needn't ask.
I'm glad.
Goodness gracious! There are thousands in there.
Enough to pay the grocer.
Where does it all come from? Julius always said that money was tight.
What's this? Travel brochures to America.
Maybe that's what he was saving for.
- To visit him.
- Here's a letter from him.
What's wrong, Mrs.
Andersen? What does it say? Mrs.
Andersen is off to the hospital again.
I hope Mr.
Andersen is back soon.
He would never change the menu.
Did you talk to Madsen? You promised! How could Vera read that to them? There's something wrong with her.
- The children have been very quiet.
- She should read some more to them.
- So you won't talk to him.
- He has plenty on his mind.
I overheard a conversation.
Mrs.
Madsen went swimming with Mrs.
Aurland.
He woke up, and she was gone, and she confessed it to him.
- Confessed what? - She went skinny dipping.
Madsen and Aurland can't seem to control their wives.
The German war damages were mentioned again on the radio.
What does that kind of humiliation do to a country? We're not interested in Germany.
Please excuse us.
My wife and I are going for a walk on the beach.
- What did the letter say? - I don't know.
- Mrs.
Andersen is at the hospital.
- Did she call the grocer? No, I did.
Mrs.
Andersen has other things on her mind.
I told him that we'd pay him on delivery.
- What? - You're amazing.
- Take a look.
- What kind of bird is that? That's what he's been doing in the workshop.
- I feel like a swim.
- Not in your condition.
- Mother.
- Goodness! What's this, Adam? - It's the kite, Mother.
- You've stuffed it.
It's beautiful.
How amazing.
How do you go about it? What you do? You cut it open, turn it inside out and remove the entrails.
- You have to be careful - Have a care, Adam.
Mrs.
Weyse is expecting and can't listen to this sort of talk.
- I'm sorry.
- Now we've seen and admired it.
- Off you go! - Put it on display in here.
I don't think that Mr.
Andersen would approve of a bird in the parlor.
But until then, Mrs.
Fjeldsø.
Alright.
Put it over there.
We're going down to the water.
Come along.
- Do you know who shot it? - No.
He should be glad.
I didn't know you could get angry.
Two brothers own the land.
They have about 70 acres.
- Isn't that new? - I think so.
- Didn't you shoot one of those? - Yes.
Mr.
Fjeldsø probably stuffed it! It makes me want to shoot it again! They told me that the one brother wanted to sell - - but the other wouldn't hear of it.
We'll have to be tactical.
I'm not going to tell you.
It's for adults only.
What was it about? He heard Dad yelling.
- He likes to yell.
- I know! But he quickly forgets.
And that goes for your argument.
He's fascinated by Count Ditmar.
- Then he can marry him.
- Yes.
- I think I'll go for a swim.
- Good idea.
I'll wait here.
There's no need.
Lunch will be served soon.
You go on.
See you! Hello.
- Are you going fishing? - I have been.
I apologize for my behavior.
I was rude.
This place is so dull, and I lost my temper.
- And took it out on you.
- Forget it.
Do you forgive me? Can I go sailing with you? - I always go alone.
- I'm asking you nicely.
I can't stand the guests.
I'd rather be with you.
You don't know me.
I know what happened to your brother.
I'm very sorry.
- Are you spying on me? - Not at all.
Well a little.
I might as well tell you, Helene.
May I call you Helene? I had hoped to meet you on the beach this morning.
- Mr.
Weyse, you're holding my hand.
- So I am.
We've been here several seasons.
Yes, but I haven't felt that I've truly known you until now.
- Because you saw me skinny dipping? - No! - No, on a more spiritual level.
- You're here with your third wife.
Every year you've had an affair.
Go ahead and scold me! I deserve it.
Please understand that I'll never be the other woman.
It's not fair to your wife.
I found the letter from Poul in the safe.
I'm sorry, but I happened to read it.
I wouldn't have, if I had known It said that you wanted to move there.
Is that what the money was for? When would you have left? The letter didn't say - - if you'd go on your own - - or if you'd like me to come with you.
But it doesn't matter, Julius.
Poul wrote that you wouldn't be welcome.
Why did you keep that awful letter? Why? Is that why you've been so sad? Julius? Are you listening, Julius? It's Julius? Julius? Julius? Julius! Julius! Julius! - Dead? - Mrs.
Andersen just called.
- How awful! - I thought he was feeling better.
What will the guests think?
