[light music playing]
[prison officer] Gjert Meyer?
About time, isn't it?
[lock clicking]
Oh.
[Gjert] A bit cold here, isn't it?
[prison officer]
Please stand there, up against the wall.
I assure you, I'm not gonna make a fuss
about this egregious mistake you've made
if you end this nonsense
and drive me home.
Turn to the right.
My right.
I haven't got time for all this.
There's a lot of money at stake.
So your clothes go in here.
Take it with you to the room next door.
Then get undressed
and put your clothes in the bag.
[music becomes serious]
Uh [exhales sharply]
Now turn around and bend over.
[clicks tongue] If you think
that you can insist
that I show you my arse, you're wrong.
[inhales deeply]
I'm a respectable businessman.
[Gjert huffs]
[sighs]
Bend over.
- [groans]
- And now, cough.
[coughs]

[radio new theme tune plays]
[reporter 1] Salmon billionaire
and fish farming entrepreneur Gjert Meyer
[reporter 2]
Brima woke up to shocking news today.
Gjert Meyer is charged
with recent environme
[reporter 3] The salmon billionaire
is suspected of causing damage
that led to the record-breaking
[reporter 4] We haven't been able
to get a comment from Gjert Meyer
or any other representative
from Meyer Fjordbruk.
In other news,
crowds have gathered outside
[Trine] Any news about Dad?
- [phone vibrating]
- No, only journalists hounding us.
[nurse] The transport
from the local hospital is here.
Um thank you for everything
you're doing for my mother-in-law.
It's the least we could do.
Your wife's hand's severely injured.
By the way, the surgeon had a question
regarding the accident.
[gulps] Yeah. Mm-hmm.
- You lost control carving a pumpkin
- [Trine] Yeah.
I don't understand why
you were carving one with such force?
[Trine laughs]
Um, us Meyers
are too heavy-handed sometimes
for our own good.
[Magnhild laughs]
[suspicious music playing]
[whispers] Have a good time, Mum.
- Hi.
- [Vijlar] You got a mo? We need to talk.
- [Eigil] Yeah.
- Can you come to my office?
- Yeah, okay. Okay.
- Half an hour?
Bye.
That was Viljar Meløy, he wants a chat.
It feels wrong to leave you now, you know?
All that you have to do is
delay that general assembly.
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
- Bye.
Hi, Eigil.
- Hi.
- Nina Larssen from NRK.
- Any comments on today's general assembly?
- No. No comment at this time.
- One comment.
- Will you please respect that?
- Just a short statement.
- I said, "No comment".
- Bye now.
- [phone ringing]
Yeah, hello? Meyer Fjordbruk.
Uh this is Gudrun, how can I help?
- [phone ringing]
- Eigil! The press is calling non-stop
There's been Adressa,
and Dagens Næringsliv
and NRK and iLaks, and I
We've no comment for the press, Gudrun.
- Understand?
- What do we say to the shareholders?
They're asking about
the general assembly, what do I say?
I will send a message to the shareholders
and tell them that it's delayed.
Okay, okay. Say that again.
[phone ringing]
Please just do what you can, Gudrun.
Hello? Meyer Fjordbruk.
That's all we can ask for.
This is Gudrun.
[ringing continues]
[message notification chimes]
[dial tone ringing]
[mobile phone vibrates]
Good mm Good morning!
See the message?
Trying to postpone the general assembly.
Well, we're one step ahead.
Did you get a hold of
the district court judge?
Yes, and she wasn't very happy.
But, after sweet-talking her a bit,
we agreed that the arrest represents
such an unusual situation
that, in the end,
she agreed to send someone.
- Good.
- [blender whirring]
- We were going to go to school together.
- Smoothie?
- [sighs]
- [Torbjørn] Okay.
Why you going home?
[Jakob] I have to talk to my dad.
About what?
- Family stuff.
- Hold on. Wait up!
When you're a couple,
you just gotta stick together.
Why won't you tell me what's going on?
It's my dad.
He heard something about Marlax.
This Magne, are you sure he understands
that the general assembly
is to be held today?
- And he has had the brief.
- He has?
[Hennie] Mama?
Hennie, I'm on a phone call with Rishi.
- Can't Papa deal with it?
- No, I don't care.
How could you do this to Jakob?!
Huh?
You're gonna sack his dad
so Jakob has to move
and go to school far away.
Uh Hold on, Rishi.
- Uh where did you hear that?
- Where do you think I heard it?
And he said a load of other
fish farm workers are gonna be sacked.
This has to be a misunderstanding, Hennie.
Uh he may have misunderstood.
- A language issue
- He understands perfectly, Mama.
- Uh, okay
- I know when you're lying, you know?
- You haven't blinked in over a minute.
- I don't have time for your teenage drama.
- Don't patronise me again!
- Torbjørn?
- Jakob's my boyfriend, isn't he?
- Torbjørn?
Do you know how hard it is to find someone
to connect with on this island?
How many boyfriends do you think
you're gonna have in your life?
- You've only been with him minutes
- Your mum's stressed.
Why don't we just calm down
and have some breakfast?
Your trousers are tight. Your legs look
like sausages these days, you know?
Tone it down and lay off your mum,
she's got a cracking pair of pins.
They're gorgeous.
[Julie sighs]
Did you hear that, Rishi?
- Yeah, bits.
- [Julie] Yeah.
Who the hell was it
that leaked the synergy plan?
I'm on it.
[dramatic music playing]
[horn honks]
- Eigil.
- Hello. Yeah.
There's a man here who says
he needs to talk to you.
[Eigil] Oh
[gasps]
[breathing heavily]
[music fades]
And you are?
Uh
Magne Vinje, from Vinje, Hjorth & Thue.
Yeah, so the court sent me
to assist with the general assembly.
It's been delayed.
The shareholders are fully aware.
You must tell them it's back on.
Because you can't just reschedule
a general assembly.
It's a breach of the Companies Act.
[music resumes]
- Hi, Rishi.
- Hi.
You did a great job with Vinje.
Uh, thanks. Uh
We found out how
the synergy plan was leaked.
- Mm.
- Instead of to Marit in Analysis,
the email was sent to
a Marek in Technical Support.
- Well, that's really bad.
- I know.
- And I've spoken to Marek.
- Mm.
And he won't say anything at all
to anyone, we have his word.
The thing we don't know is if the rumours
have reached the Sailor's Union.
Mm.
Well We're gonna need
the union to back us up.
- Yeah.
- Hey
Do you think my trousers are too tight?
Mm. No, Julie. Not at all.
Good.
How do I look?
Like the world's biggest salmon mogul.
[reporter] What do you think about
the arrest of Gjert Meyer?
[man] So shocked and confused.
J Julie Lange?
Do you have a quick two minutes for us?
- Sure.
- Great.
What do you think about
the arrest of Gjert Meyer?
I think it's very sad.
Will it affect the outcome
of the general assembly?
[Julie] I think that
if we join forces here at Brima now,
there's a potential
for us to become a superpower
within the fish farming industry.
[indistinct chatter]
And today, I hope we'll take
the first steps towards that goal.
[reporter] Julie Lange, thank you.
It's a very exciting prospect.
So, then?
Well, the Sailor's Union
haven't yet got wind of the synergy plan.
They are on board.
[Eigil] Let's get started.
The board has asked me
to open the meeting,
so I'm here as acting chairman.
Let me first apologise
for the confusion this morning.
And I thank you all for coming.
Uh we at Meyer Fjordbruk
are shocked by what's happened.
And we're very upset
that there is someone out there
trying to take advantage
of this personal tragedy,
to steal the company,
by forcing this general assembly today.
Trondheim District Court has sent
corporate lawyer Magne Vinje
to ensure that during the meeting,
we all adhere to the rules.
- So, over to you, Magne.
- Thank you.
Those of you who know me from my time
as a referee in company football games,
will be fully aware
that I am always tough, but fair.
I have received a complaint
about item two on the agenda,
and the board would like
to delay proceedings
because of the recent apprehension
of Gjert Meyer.
Perhaps someone on the other side
wants to say something?
Yes, thank you. I would.
Meyer Fjordbruk is a company
with huge potential.
But in recent years,
it has sadly been run ineffectively.
In my opinion, it would be very unfair
to every single employee and us investors,
to delay the inevitable
because the chairman committed a crime.
Julie, you can't say that.
- You must say, "He might have".
- Oh. What did I say?
[sighs] This is crazy.
The main shareholder of Meyer Fjordbruk
is not with us today to cast his vote,
but his absence is lawful.
We have to postpone.
Uh but according to the latest register,
there appears to be other persons
who can represent Meyer Holding.
You mean Trine?
Uh yeah.
But she's been involved
in a Halloween accident.
But they are still obliged
to put forward a deputy.
So let's recess
and meet again here at 2:30.
[birds squawking]
Yes, and when I tried to ask her,
well, she went
and completely fobbed me off,
and she said that it must have
been a language-barrier issue.
For God's sake.
Jakob's dad speaks the language perfectly.
- Mm.
- And when I said that,
she said she's fed up
with me talking about my boyfriend.
But the thing is,
she didn't blink for over a minute.
Classic Mama.
- I knew that she was lying.
- Yeah. Mm-hmm.
She is clearly hiding something.
And I think Jakob's dad
has seen the document.
Looks like he went
and got hold of a synergy plan.
What's that?
The reason Mama wants Meyer Fjordbruk,
is so that she can merge the company
with Marlax and turn a profit.
A synergy plan illustrates
what and who are subject to cuts.
So if Mama wins, then he will be sacked?
Mm-hmm.
But look, there are some people
teaming up to save Meyer Fjordbruk.
But Hennie,
do you have Jakob's dad's number?
Yeah.
If I could
just get hold of the synergy plan,
we could get more people
to vote against Mama.
Yeah, I can share it.
16, 02, 79.
[door buzzes]
[prison officer] Your address, please?
Mm.
- Please, sit down.
- [clears throat]
First interview
of Gjert Meyer.
Case 1249 concerning
environmental, criminal damage.
Will you use your legal right
to have a lawyer attend?
[Gjert] No.
I'm in the middle of a takeover.
You got any idea
what assets are at stake here?
We'll start with evidence A0413.
They are images taken from your
from your personal computer.
Could you tell me what we see here?
What is that?
Well, it's a fish pen.
And do you have any idea what
what these arrows and lines might mean?
[clears throat] Uh
Where'd you get this, then?
This is from your private PC.
And we wanna know
how the photos are on your computer,
and why you've got plans
of the Marlax facility?
[ominous music playing]
I think I'll want that lawyer after all.
[Amy] No problem at all.
Of course not. Thank you anyway.
Bye then.
[sighs]
Jakob's dad didn't want to say anything.
I got the sense he's been silenced.
We won't get the plan from him.
Well, who else can you try?
Uh Rishi will have it.
Then we go to the office
and we get it then.
I don't have my Marlax swipe card anymore.
[mobile phone vibrating]
- Hi, Viljar. You okay?
- [Viljar] Hi, Amy.
Couldn't get it postponed.
On a break now, then another hour.
- That's no time!
- Yeah.
- That won't do anything.
- Listen
- We can't get a deal without Gjert.
- We know that.
We are getting Trine Meyer
as his representative.
- Trine, of course.
- You agree then?
- That might do it.
- Good, she's on her way to the hotel.
I'll talk with her.
You don't need to be here.
- No, no, no, no. I'm coming. I'm coming.
- Wait. Amy!
[tense music playing]
- Hello, Gjert.
- Oh, hi.
Oh. Sam, thank you for coming.
It's good to see you. [chuckles]
How are you?
[sighs] Look, you must get me out of here.
I'm innocent.
[coughs] Someone's hacked my computer.
I don't know who.
Someone at Marlax, or my son-in-law.
But But they're conning the police
I can assure you.
[Sam] Gjert, listen to me.
Many people, when accused of a crime,
tell the same old story.
- You do know that?
- Are you saying that I am guilty!?
I am not saying that.
But if I act as the devil's advocate,
then you must keep calm
Oh, fuck's sake, Sam,
you're not the devil's advocate,
you're my advocate!
Yes, you're right.
What can I do for you, Gjert?
You have to find out who set me up, Sam.
[door knocking]
- [painfully] Ah.
- [nurse] Doctor's coming.
Huh? I gotta go now.
I have things to do.
Important business to take care of.
You absolutely cannot leave.
You've had a lot of morphine.
[Trine groans]
[inhales] Look
There are times you have
to do very painful things
for your family's sake.
Ah. [panting]
[gasps, groans]
Can I at least order a taxi for you?
Hi. I'm at the hotel. Where are you?
- Okay, I'm coming.
- [Rishi] Yeah.
- Hi.
- Hi. I'll just hang my coat.
- Yeah. Bye.
- [reporter] Your thoughts? You excited?
Yes, I really am.
And I'm confident that
we will get this deal over the line.
And it will be very good
for the whole island of Brima.
I assure you. I do.
Okay. This will actually be
rather exciting.
So, any idea how she'll take it?
I'd be surprised
if she has an opinion on it.
She's a stay-at-home-mum.
There they are.
- [Amy] Hi.
- Hi.
Hi. Viljar Meløy.
[Trine] Yeah. Trine Meyer.
[sighs]
Okay. Welcome, everyone.
We have very little time. Um
So, we have to agree upon
the motion to change the board.
And what I suggest is
that I take over from Gjert,
temporarily replacing him as chairman.
Our CFO in the Meløy Group will
take over from me as board member.
What do you think?
Yeah, we were thinking that, uh
Eigil will be chairman.
[titters]
That's not what he told me this morning.
No, but he's telling you now.
- Mm.
- It's vital our family's represented.
Yeah. Yeah,
I hear where you're coming from
In addition, we'll need
an extra board seat for Meyer Holding.
And that's for me.
[Trine exhales]
All seats on the board are taken.
This is a puzzle.
[sniggers]
Yeah. A puzzle?
I didn't know that they taught puzzles
at the fancy foreign school
that you were sent to.
But all right.
Just congratulate
your mother for me, then.
- Shall we go, Eigil?
- Mm.
No, wait.
Another seat on the board won't hurt.
[mischievous music playing]
This could be the beginning
of a great opportunity.
Absolutely.
See you later, salmon princess.
- Hey.
- [receptionist] Hello.
It really is lovely
to see you again, Hennie.
But, uh your mum's not here right now.
No, um, it's a school fundraising day.
Working here for Mum for a day,
I raise funds for Libya.
- But is it today?
- Yeah.
Eh, nobody told me about that.
Um you can call my mum and ask her.
I will.
Uh, actually don't ring her now 'cause
she's gonna be at the general assembly.
Yeah, that's right.
Just take a seat for a moment,
and I'll generate a card for you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
You'll have to argue in favour of this.
Try to get one or two over to our side.
We need this. Good luck.
[music ends]
So, are you going in?
No, I'll wait here. It's for the best
'cause my resignation's not official yet.
That's very convenient.
Obviously it's for the best,
now you've backstabbed your mum.
- Got a problem, Tiril?
- I do, actually.
Look, we haven't even got rid
of your Mac yet,
and you do this to us, it's so horrid!
- How could you?
- Look
Whatever happened to
sisters before misters?
- Tiril
- [gasps]
I thought that we were friends.
[inhales] Amy you were a hero to me.
I even got the same shade manicure.
You're upset, Tiril, I can see that.
And I see that I've put you in
a really difficult situation.
- [mobile phone vibrating]
- And I hope that we that we sort it.
Sorry. I just need to take this.
Hi, Hennie. I'm a bit busy.
[Hennie]
I'm in Rishi's office. Where do I look?
Huh?
Two seconds.
So you're at Marlax?
Yes, you said you know
where the documents are.
[Amy] Uh Yeah.
They'll be on his PC.
So, what's the password?
[sighs]
Try "tendulkar".
Put in 83, then 84. You got that?
- [keys clacking]
- [computer beeps]
[Hennie] No.
Try capital T.
[computer beeps]
No, it's wrong.
Then he's changed it.
[indistinct chatter]
Um
[tense music playing]
So, go to my old office.
Okay.
Hiya!
[door beeps]
Is my old Mac on the desk?
[Hennie] Yeah, and it's working.
Now open up the folder "Meyer Fjordbruk".
Then open "Board Meeting Agenda".
And then, the latest document from Rishi.
Have you got it?
Yes, I found it. "Updated Synergy Plan"?
- Yes!
- I'll email it.
Okay. Thank you. Good.
[tense music fades]
- Hi, Amy.
- [Amy] Hi.
I really want to say,
it's not too late to change your mind.
We'll need a good strategy director
when Marlax and Meyer are merged.
But do you mean it, Mama?
Do I mean it?
Of course I do.
You backed the wrong horse,
but you're my daughter.
[mobile phone vibrates]
[Julie] Amy?
[dramatic music playing]
Mama I'm gonna stick with this horse.
A Amy, look
[Amy] Viljar?
[indistinct chatter]
[dramatic music continues]
- [Viljar] Are you all right?
- [Trine] Yeah. All good.
[Magne clears throat] So
Now we have here
Meyer Holding representation,
we can move on to address the final point.
The new board of directors
at Meyer Fjordbruk.
Meyer Holding together with Meløy Group
submitted a motion from the floor
that is, uh, now being handed out.
I now open the floor,
should anyone have anything to say.
Yeah, I got a couple of things to say.
[Magne] Yes.
Please let it be noted in the minutes
that the worker's representative
wishes to address the assembly.
[music fades]
What the fuck you doing here?
Um Martin asked me to come.
Perfect. You're both here.
[exhales sharply]
[Martin sighs]
Uh Yes, um
This was unexpected, I have to say.
Uh, yeah. We, uh bumped into one another.
[inhales] Um Uh don't worry.
Uh Theo knows that
I know that you two had se
Hm.
But does Theo know that
I
Uh, yeah. Congratulations.
Yeah, so we, um,
talked about our situation
Um we came up with a solution.
- Really?
- [Martin] Yeah.
We just thought that
that Theo could be a sperm donor.
- That Theo could be a sperm donor?
- Yes.
It's a bit late for that.
Uh, well, the sperm,
it is already donated,
so it's all fine, so we just
backdate it earlier, our agreement.
Think about it. You're pregnant.
I want to be a dad.
- Theo doesn't want kids.
- No.
So a donor contract could turn
this tragedy into a miracle.
[exhales, inhales sharply]
This really is such a big deal.
So, what do think? Really?
Um it's a real fucker,
but, uh, it does kinda make sense.
What do you say? Shall we
Shall we have a baby?
- This is weird.
- [Viljar] Amy?
Amy!
- Viljar, we're in the middle of something
- Amy!
- You'll have to
- [chuckles] We did it!
You are now CEO of Meyer Fjordbruk!
[laughs] Woo!
[tense music playing]
[reporter] And we now have confirmation
that the dramatic vote
to appoint the new board
of Meyer Fjordbruk
was lost with the smallest margin.
- Julie Lange, what
- Not now.
It just didn't go your way today.
What are your thoughts?
No comment.
This turned out to be a showdown
between different generations
of an illustrious family.
Julie Lange, any words for your daughter?
I wanted to build a salmon corporation
that I thought
one day my daughter would run.
But now we're in competition. Interesting.
Thank you.
Find out how the union
saw the synergy plan.
If the fish farm workers did this,
sack them.
All right.
[reporter 1] Trine Meyer.
How does it feel standing here
after the events
of the last twenty-four hours?
Uh yeah. Well
What can I say? It's been, uh
emotional, you know?
Uh, for us all. [chuckles]
- But now, uh yeah, we're all elated.
- [door buzzes]
[prison officer] So then, Gjert.
We'll escort you
to your court hearing shortly.
- [TV report continues indistinctly]
- You still remain in custody.
[reporter 2] salmon farming industry.
[reporter 1] How is the future
for Meyer Fjordbruk looking?
[Gjert] Turn it up.
We're very excited at the
prospect of plotting a new course
for our company. Mm-hmm.
And I can tell the shareholders
that this is a new beginning,
and we're in for
some very exciting times ahead.
- Justice has won.
- Shit.
- Victory for Meyer!
- [reporter 1] A new era begins.
- As two titans of the industry
- It's her! She's my fucking daughter.
She's the crook! It's her!
That's my girl.
She's behind it all!
[dramatic music playing]
Fuck.
[scoffs]
Amy, what's top of the agenda for you?
Well, first we have a drink!
But, looking ahead, it's my experience
that many in our industry believe
that profits and sustainability
cannot be combined.
My plan is to prove they are wrong.
[reporter 1] Amy Lange.
Thank you so much.
So, we heard it from the horse's mouth.
The Meyer representatives
are keen to start
- We actually did it!
- You were a genius!
I was so nervous.
I don't know how I did it.
- You absolutely nailed it.
- There were so many people there.
[both] Oh!
You did it.
But look,
it's imperative that Mama can never know
that you were a part of this.
- I know that.
- She can't hate both of us.
- She doesn't hate you, sister.
- Wanna bet?
[both laugh]

I'm sorry, I woke up early this morning

I must say that I don't think
I've read something so moving
since Jon Fosse was at his peak.
Uh, right.
Macbeth.
At a roller derby.
- Odd no one's done it before.
- [Ivo sighs]
[Ivo groans]

Casting director's gonna kill me.
Yep. I promised a self-tape.
Can't you just say
that your young client wasn't around?
But maybe offer her up
another actor to make it up to her?
I mean
I was born to play Coach Gundersen.
I assure you Ivo

Locker room.
Morning.
Coach Gundersen enters on a crutch.
Nice.
He hears sobbing,
and notices Carla in the corner.
So, this is where you're hiding?
I'm so sorry, coach.
I never should have
double-crossed you like that.
And now you're trying
to get away from the pain.
I can tell you a thing or two about pain.

Wait a tic.

What he say?
[panicked breathing]
He's absolutely fucking with me.
Oh yeah. [gasps]
See this. [panicked breathing continues]
We have first class tickets,
and he says that he can't act anymore.
And he's not gonna be going to LA.
[gasps] So
What'll you do with the tickets?
[light music playing]
[Julie] So you didn't fancy LA, then?
No.
I've come to realise
that things are better
on this side of the Atlantic.
Yeah, uh apropos that uh
Jens has something to ask you.
Yeah.
I thought that as Amy's out
um
maybe there's a window, a way in
at Marlax for me?
I understand if you think it's
a stupid idea and you don't want that
after I've screwed up.
Welcome home, Jens.
I have always thought
that you were cut out for fishery.
[JJ and Julie chuckle]
[Julie] Cheers.
Cheers.
Welcome home.

We've no comment for the press, Gudrun.

- What do we say to the shareholders?
They're asking about
the general assembly, what do I say?
I will send a message to the shareholders
and tell them that it's delayed.
Okay, okay. Say that again.

See the message?
Trying to postpone the general assembly.
Well, we're one step ahead.
Did you get a hold of
the district court judge?
Yes, and she wasn't very happy.
But, after sweet-talking her a bit,
we agreed that the arrest represents
such an unusual situation
that, in the end,
she agreed to send someone.
- Good.
- [blender whirring]
- We were going to go to school together.
- Smoothie?

Why you going home?
[Jakob] I have to talk to my dad.
About what?
- Family stuff.
- Hold on. Wait up!
When you're a couple,
you just gotta stick together.
Why won't you tell me what's going on?
It's my dad.
He heard something about Marlax.
This Magne, are you sure he understands
that the general assembly
is to be held today?
- And he has had the brief.
- He has?
[Hennie] Mama?
Hennie, I'm on a phone call with Rishi.
- Can't Papa deal with it?
- No, I don't care.
How could you do this to Jakob?!
Huh?
You're gonna sack his dad
so Jakob has to move
and go to school far away.
Uh Hold on, Rishi.
- Uh where did you hear that?
- Where do you think I heard it?
And he said a load of other
fish farm workers are gonna be sacked.
This has to be a misunderstanding, Hennie.
Uh he may have misunderstood.
- A language issue
- He understands perfectly, Mama.
- Uh, okay
- I know when you're lying, you know?
- You haven't blinked in over a minute.
- I don't have time for your teenage drama.
- Don't patronise me again!
- Torbjørn?
- Jakob's my boyfriend, isn't he?
- Torbjørn?
Do you know how hard it is to find someone
to connect with on this island?
How many boyfriends do you think
you're gonna have in your life?
- You've only been with him minutes
- Your mum's stressed.
Why don't we just calm down
and have some breakfast?
Your trousers are tight. Your legs look
like sausages these days, you know?
Tone it down and lay off your mum,
she's got a cracking pair of pins.
They're gorgeous.
[Julie sighs]
Did you hear that, Rishi?
- Yeah, bits.
- [Julie] Yeah.
Who the hell was it
that leaked the synergy plan?
I'm on it.
[dramatic music playing]
[horn honks]
- Eigil.
- Hello. Yeah.
There's a man here who says
he needs to talk to you.
[Eigil] Oh
[gasps]
[breathing heavily]
[music fades]
And you are?
Uh
Magne Vinje, from Vinje, Hjorth & Thue.
Yeah, so the court sent me
to assist with the general assembly.
It's been delayed.
The shareholders are fully aware.
You must tell them it's back on.
Because you can't just reschedule
a general assembly.
It's a breach of the Companies Act.
[music resumes]
- Hi, Rishi.
- Hi.
You did a great job with Vinje.
Uh, thanks. Uh
We found out how
the synergy plan was leaked.
- Mm.
- Instead of to Marit in Analysis,
the email was sent to
a Marek in Technical Support.
- Well, that's really bad.
- I know.
- And I've spoken to Marek.
- Mm.
And he won't say anything at all
to anyone, we have his word.
The thing we don't know is if the rumours
have reached the Sailor's Union.
Mm.
Well We're gonna need
the union to back us up.
- Yeah.
- Hey
Do you think my trousers are too tight?
Mm. No, Julie. Not at all.
Good.
How do I look?
Like the world's biggest salmon mogul.
[reporter] What do you think about
the arrest of Gjert Meyer?
[man] So shocked and confused.
J Julie Lange?
Do you have a quick two minutes for us?
- Sure.
- Great.
What do you think about
the arrest of Gjert Meyer?
I think it's very sad.
Will it affect the outcome
of the general assembly?
[Julie] I think that
if we join forces here at Brima now,
there's a potential
for us to become a superpower
within the fish farming industry.
[indistinct chatter]
And today, I hope we'll take
the first steps towards that goal.
[reporter] Julie Lange, thank you.
It's a very exciting prospect.
So, then?
Well, the Sailor's Union
haven't yet got wind of the synergy plan.
They are on board.
[Eigil] Let's get started.
The board has asked me
to open the meeting,
so I'm here as acting chairman.
Let me first apologise
for the confusion this morning.
And I thank you all for coming.
Uh we at Meyer Fjordbruk
are shocked by what's happened.
And we're very upset
that there is someone out there
trying to take advantage
of this personal tragedy,
to steal the company,
by forcing this general assembly today.
Trondheim District Court has sent
corporate lawyer Magne Vinje
to ensure that during the meeting,
we all adhere to the rules.
- So, over to you, Magne.
- Thank you.
Those of you who know me from my time
as a referee in company football games,
will be fully aware
that I am always tough, but fair.
I have received a complaint
about item two on the agenda,
and the board would like
to delay proceedings
because of the recent apprehension
of Gjert Meyer.
Perhaps someone on the other side
wants to say something?
Yes, thank you. I would.
Meyer Fjordbruk is a company
with huge potential.
But in recent years,
it has sadly been run ineffectively.
In my opinion, it would be very unfair
to every single employee and us investors,
to delay the inevitable
because the chairman committed a crime.
Julie, you can't say that.
- You must say, "He might have".
- Oh. What did I say?
[sighs] This is crazy.
The main shareholder of Meyer Fjordbruk
is not with us today to cast his vote,
but his absence is lawful.
We have to postpone.
Uh but according to the latest register,
there appears to be other persons
who can represent Meyer Holding.
You mean Trine?
Uh yeah.
But she's been involved
in a Halloween accident.
But they are still obliged
to put forward a deputy.
So let's recess
and meet again here at 2:30.
[birds squawking]
Yes, and when I tried to ask her,
well, she went
and completely fobbed me off,
and she said that it must have
been a language-barrier issue.
For God's sake.
Jakob's dad speaks the language perfectly.
- Mm.
- And when I said that,
she said she's fed up
with me talking about my boyfriend.
But the thing is,
she didn't blink for over a minute.
Classic Mama.
- I knew that she was lying.
- Yeah. Mm-hmm.
She is clearly hiding something.
And I think Jakob's dad
has seen the document.
Looks like he went
and got hold of a synergy plan.
What's that?
The reason Mama wants Meyer Fjordbruk,
is so that she can merge the company
with Marlax and turn a profit.
A synergy plan illustrates
what and who are subject to cuts.
So if Mama wins, then he will be sacked?
Mm-hmm.
But look, there are some people
teaming up to save Meyer Fjordbruk.
But Hennie,
do you have Jakob's dad's number?
Yeah.
If I could
just get hold of the synergy plan,
we could get more people
to vote against Mama.
Yeah, I can share it.

Will you use your legal right

I'm in the middle of a takeover.
You got any idea
what assets are at stake here?
We'll start with evidence A0413.
They are images taken from your
from your personal computer.
Could you tell me what we see here?
What is that?
Well, it's a fish pen.
And do you have any idea what
what these arrows and lines might mean?
[clears throat] Uh
Where'd you get this, then?
This is from your private PC.
And we wanna know
how the photos are on your computer,
and why you've got plans
of the Marlax facility?
[ominous music playing]
I think I'll want that lawyer after all.
[Amy] No problem at all.
Of course not. Thank you anyway.
Bye then.
[sighs]
Jakob's dad didn't want to say anything.
I got the sense he's been silenced.
We won't get the plan from him.
Well, who else can you try?
Uh Rishi will have it.
Then we go to the office
and we get it then.
I don't have my Marlax swipe card anymore.
[mobile phone vibrating]
- Hi, Viljar. You okay?
- [Viljar] Hi, Amy.
Couldn't get it postponed.
On a break now, then another hour.
- That's no time!
- Yeah.
- That won't do anything.
- Listen
- We can't get a deal without Gjert.
- We know that.
We are getting Trine Meyer
as his representative.
- Trine, of course.
- You agree then?
- That might do it.
- Good, she's on her way to the hotel.
I'll talk with her.
You don't need to be here.
- No, no, no, no. I'm coming. I'm coming.
- Wait. Amy!
[tense music playing]
- Hello, Gjert.
- Oh, hi.
Oh. Sam, thank you for coming.
It's good to see you. [chuckles]
How are you?
[sighs] Look, you must get me out of here.
I'm innocent.
[coughs] Someone's hacked my computer.
I don't know who.
Someone at Marlax, or my son-in-law.
But But they're conning the police
I can assure you.
[Sam] Gjert, listen to me.
Many people, when accused of a crime,
tell the same old story.
- You do know that?
- Are you saying that I am guilty!?
I am not saying that.
But if I act as the devil's advocate,
then you must keep calm
Oh, fuck's sake, Sam,
you're not the devil's advocate,
you're my advocate!
Yes, you're right.
What can I do for you, Gjert?
You have to find out who set me up, Sam.
[door knocking]
- [painfully] Ah.
- [nurse] Doctor's coming.
Huh? I gotta go now.
I have things to do.
Important business to take care of.
You absolutely cannot leave.
You've had a lot of morphine.
[Trine groans]
[inhales] Look
There are times you have
to do very painful things
for your family's sake.
Ah. [panting]
[gasps, groans]
Can I at least order a taxi for you?
Hi. I'm at the hotel. Where are you?
- Okay, I'm coming.
- [Rishi] Yeah.
- Hi.
- Hi. I'll just hang my coat.
- Yeah. Bye.
- [reporter] Your thoughts? You excited?
Yes, I really am.
And I'm confident that
we will get this deal over the line.
And it will be very good
for the whole island of Brima.
I assure you. I do.
Okay. This will actually be
rather exciting.
So, any idea how she'll take it?
I'd be surprised
if she has an opinion on it.
She's a stay-at-home-mum.
There they are.
- [Amy] Hi.
- Hi.
Hi. Viljar Meløy.
[Trine] Yeah. Trine Meyer.
[sighs]
Okay. Welcome, everyone.
We have very little time. Um
So, we have to agree upon
the motion to change the board.
And what I suggest is
that I take over from Gjert,
temporarily replacing him as chairman.
Our CFO in the Meløy Group will
take over from me as board member.
What do you think?
Yeah, we were thinking that, uh
Eigil will be chairman.
[titters]
That's not what he told me this morning.
No, but he's telling you now.
- Mm.
- It's vital our family's represented.
Yeah. Yeah,
I hear where you're coming from
In addition, we'll need
an extra board seat for Meyer Holding.
And that's for me.
[Trine exhales]
All seats on the board are taken.
This is a puzzle.
[sniggers]
Yeah. A puzzle?
I didn't know that they taught puzzles
at the fancy foreign school
that you were sent to.
But all right.
Just congratulate
your mother for me, then.
- Shall we go, Eigil?
- Mm.
No, wait.
Another seat on the board won't hurt.
[mischievous music playing]
This could be the beginning
of a great opportunity.
Absolutely.
See you later, salmon princess.
- Hey.
- [receptionist] Hello.
It really is lovely
to see you again, Hennie.
But, uh your mum's not here right now.
No, um, it's a school fundraising day.
Working here for Mum for a day,
I raise funds for Libya.
- But is it today?
- Yeah.
Eh, nobody told me about that.
Um you can call my mum and ask her.
I will.
Uh, actually don't ring her now 'cause
she's gonna be at the general assembly.
Yeah, that's right.
Just take a seat for a moment,
and I'll generate a card for you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
You'll have to argue in favour of this.
Try to get one or two over to our side.
We need this. Good luck.
[music ends]
So, are you going in?
No, I'll wait here. It's for the best
'cause my resignation's not official yet.
That's very convenient.
Obviously it's for the best,
now you've backstabbed your mum.
- Got a problem, Tiril?
- I do, actually.
Look, we haven't even got rid
of your Mac yet,
and you do this to us, it's so horrid!
- How could you?
- Look
Whatever happened to
sisters before misters?
- Tiril
- [gasps]
I thought that we were friends.
[inhales] Amy you were a hero to me.
I even got the same shade manicure.
You're upset, Tiril, I can see that.
And I see that I've put you in
a really difficult situation.
- [mobile phone vibrating]
- And I hope that we that we sort it.
Sorry. I just need to take this.
Hi, Hennie. I'm a bit busy.
[Hennie]
I'm in Rishi's office. Where do I look?
Huh?
Two seconds.
So you're at Marlax?
Yes, you said you know
where the documents are.
[Amy] Uh Yeah.
They'll be on his PC.
So, what's the password?
[sighs]
Try "tendulkar".
Put in 83, then 84. You got that?
- [keys clacking]
- [computer beeps]
[Hennie] No.
Try capital T.
[computer beeps]
No, it's wrong.
Then he's changed it.
[indistinct chatter]
Um
[tense music playing]
So, go to my old office.
Okay.
Hiya!
[door beeps]
Is my old Mac on the desk?
[Hennie] Yeah, and it's working.
Now open up the folder "Meyer Fjordbruk".
Then open "Board Meeting Agenda".
And then, the latest document from Rishi.
Have you got it?
Yes, I found it. "Updated Synergy Plan"?
- Yes!
- I'll email it.
Okay. Thank you. Good.
[tense music fades]
- Hi, Amy.
- [Amy] Hi.
I really want to say,
it's not too late to change your mind.
We'll need a good strategy director
when Marlax and Meyer are merged.
But do you mean it, Mama?
Do I mean it?
Of course I do.
You backed the wrong horse,
but you're my daughter.
[mobile phone vibrates]
[Julie] Amy?
[dramatic music playing]
Mama I'm gonna stick with this horse.
A Amy, look
[Amy] Viljar?
[indistinct chatter]
[dramatic music continues]
- [Viljar] Are you all right?
- [Trine] Yeah. All good.
[Magne clears throat] So
Now we have here
Meyer Holding representation,
we can move on to address the final point.
The new board of directors
at Meyer Fjordbruk.
Meyer Holding together with Meløy Group
submitted a motion from the floor
that is, uh, now being handed out.
I now open the floor,
should anyone have anything to say.
Yeah, I got a couple of things to say.
[Magne] Yes.
Please let it be noted in the minutes
that the worker's representative
wishes to address the assembly.
[music fades]
What the fuck you doing here?
Um Martin asked me to come.
Perfect. You're both here.
[exhales sharply]
[Martin sighs]
Uh Yes, um
This was unexpected, I have to say.
Uh, yeah. We, uh bumped into one another.
[inhales] Um Uh don't worry.
Uh Theo knows that
I know that you two had se
Hm.
But does Theo know that
I
Uh, yeah. Congratulations.
Yeah, so we, um,
talked about our situation
Um we came up with a solution.
- Really?
- [Martin] Yeah.
We just thought that
that Theo could be a sperm donor.
- That Theo could be a sperm donor?
- Yes.
It's a bit late for that.
Uh, well, the sperm,
it is already donated,
so it's all fine, so we just
backdate it earlier, our agreement.
Think about it. You're pregnant.
I want to be a dad.
- Theo doesn't want kids.
- No.
So a donor contract could turn
this tragedy into a miracle.
[exhales, inhales sharply]
This really is such a big deal.
So, what do think? Really?
Um it's a real fucker,
but, uh, it does kinda make sense.
What do you say? Shall we
Shall we have a baby?
- This is weird.
- [Viljar] Amy?
Amy!
- Viljar, we're in the middle of something
- Amy!
- You'll have to
- [chuckles] We did it!
You are now CEO of Meyer Fjordbruk!
[laughs] Woo!
[tense music playing]
[reporter] And we now have confirmation
that the dramatic vote
to appoint the new board
of Meyer Fjordbruk
was lost with the smallest margin.
- Julie Lange, what
- Not now.
It just didn't go your way today.
What are your thoughts?
No comment.
This turned out to be a showdown
between different generations
of an illustrious family.
Julie Lange, any words for your daughter?
I wanted to build a salmon corporation
that I thought
one day my daughter would run.
But now we're in competition. Interesting.
Thank you.
Find out how the union
saw the synergy plan.
If the fish farm workers did this,
sack them.
All right.
[reporter 1] Trine Meyer.
How does it feel standing here
after the events
of the last twenty-four hours?
Uh yeah. Well
What can I say? It's been, uh
emotional, you know?
Uh, for us all. [chuckles]
- But now, uh yeah, we're all elated.
- [door buzzes]
[prison officer] So then, Gjert.
We'll escort you
to your court hearing shortly.
- [TV report continues indistinctly]
- You still remain in custody.
[reporter 2] salmon farming industry.
[reporter 1] How is the future
for Meyer Fjordbruk looking?
[Gjert] Turn it up.
We're very excited at the
prospect of plotting a new course
for our company. Mm-hmm.
And I can tell the shareholders
that this is a new beginning,
and we're in for
some very exciting times ahead.
- Justice has won.
- Shit.
- Victory for Meyer!
- [reporter 1] A new era begins.
- As two titans of the industry
- It's her! She's my fucking daughter.
She's the crook! It's her!
That's my girl.
She's behind it all!
[dramatic music playing]
Fuck.
[scoffs]
Amy, what's top of the agenda for you?
Well, first we have a drink!
But, looking ahead, it's my experience
that many in our industry believe
that profits and sustainability
cannot be combined.
My plan is to prove they are wrong.
[reporter 1] Amy Lange.
Thank you so much.
So, we heard it from the horse's mouth.
The Meyer representatives
are keen to start
- We actually did it!
- You were a genius!
I was so nervous.
I don't know how I did it.
- You absolutely nailed it.
- There were so many people there.
[both] Oh!
You did it.
But look,
it's imperative that Mama can never know
that you were a part of this.
- I know that.
- She can't hate both of us.
- She doesn't hate you, sister.
- Wanna bet?

Yeah?
I'm sorry, I woke up early this morning
and I happened upon it.
[clicks tongue]
I must say that I don't think
I've read something so moving
since Jon Fosse was at his peak.
Uh, right.
Macbeth.
At a roller derby.
- Odd no one's done it before.
- [Ivo sighs]
[Ivo groans]
[groans]
Casting director's gonna kill me.
Yep. I promised a self-tape.
Can't you just say
that your young client wasn't around?
But maybe offer her up
another actor to make it up to her?
I mean
I was born to play Coach Gundersen.
I assure you Ivo
that part was written for me.
Come on. What you got to lose?
Ho, Ho! Muh, muh, muh.
Ho! Ha! Bum, bum, bum. Hee!
- [Ivo] Are you ready?
- Yeah, yeah.
Locker room.
Morning.
Coach Gundersen enters on a crutch.
Nice.
He hears sobbing,
and notices Carla in the corner.
So, this is where you're hiding?
I'm so sorry, coach.
I never should have
double-crossed you like that.
And now you're trying
to get away from the pain.
I can tell you a thing or two about pain.
- [phone pings]
- [growls]
- Yeah. Great. Look, stop.
- No, no, no.
- No, no. [sighs]
- Yeah it's from JJ.
Wait a tic.
[clicks tongue]
[gasps]
What he say?
[panicked breathing]
He's absolutely fucking with me.
Oh yeah. [gasps]
See this. [panicked breathing continues]
We have first class tickets,
and he says that he can't act anymore.
And he's not gonna be going to LA.
[gasps] So
What'll you do with the tickets?
[light music playing]
[Julie] So you didn't fancy LA, then?
No.
I've come to realise
that things are better
on this side of the Atlantic.
Yeah, uh apropos that uh
Jens has something to ask you.
Yeah.
I thought that as Amy's out
um
maybe there's a window, a way in
at Marlax for me?
I understand if you think it's
a stupid idea and you don't want that
after I've screwed up.
Welcome home, Jens.
I have always thought
that you were cut out for fishery.
[JJ and Julie chuckle]
[Julie] Cheers.
Cheers.
Welcome home.

"Lift your head, my agile boy."
"If a hope or two are broken,
there's a new one in your eye."
[huffs] Well, you wouldn't have got
a refund for that ticket anyway.
I've got a good feeling about this.
I've always felt in my bones
a definite call towards Hollywood.
At the risk of being rude,
how old are you, really?
Oh, come on, now.
That's not the right focus.
Just think about that old guy in
Squid Game's agent
- Huh? He'll be coining it in.

Um cooey!
Could you get us a big bottle of bubbly?
Yeah. Magnum.
This is great. Such a lotta fun.
