Ernst. The job interview.
Yes, tell us how it went.
Hello...
We work in euros, all online with the stock market.
Future's here...
It makes no difference whether you're here or at Hagströmmer Qviberg.
But we have a totally different back-up system.
After all, we've got guys outsourced in London, New York, and so on.
It's the same network, the same machines, and we're in daily contact.
So in principle, you're online to the Nasdaq. In principle.
In principle, sure.
But tell me about yourself.
Have you been a trader?
I mean, why do want to work here with us?
How old are these rooms?
The rooms?
The ceilings seem rather low...
We renovated, modernised, in 1997.
It works well.
What about clothing?
Clothing? "Clean" I was about to say, but a suit's always good.
Can I have your hairdresser's number?
It's an intriguing haircut you have.
Really?
I'd like to copy it.
It's exceptional. Thin, dry, life-worn.
Like a leached-out corn field.
Ever since I saw "The Sting", I've wanted to be a banker
with an eyeshade and those sleeve protectors...
Great to get this quick glimpse of you.
We, I, or someone else, will ring you next week and let you know.
Super-duper! You'll ring me?
Yes.
OK?
Can I finish my coffee?
Of course.
See you.
No hanging around in banks.
Brief, efficient meetings.
That went quite quickly.
I don't think I'll get that job.
Me neither.
He was going to ring this week, but he hasn't rung...
Maybe he rang when you weren't in.
I've bought an answering machine
and no one's rung.
And then I've tried to ring him a few times,
but he's always in meetings, so he...
So he doesn't return my call.
I'll never get a job.
I'm doomed to a life of alienation.
Where can someone like me find a place in this world?
Can you tell me?
Well?
I would love a place.
They're cutting off the power at 11. Just so as you know.
Johan, last week you promised us you'd stop telling lies in here.
Don't you feel you've grown?
No, I don't.
I don't feel at all good, actually.
You told us the truth. The socks...
Yes, I did.
I regret it.
I regret telling you about my socks.
I've decided. I'm keeping everything to myself.
I've hidden a new thing in my secret hiding place.
And I will tell no one.
Not anyone here.
Tell us. What is it?
I'm not going to say.
What's in the box?
I get all tingly when I think about what I've hidden in my hiding place.
Mull over that!
Is it vegetable? Can you eat it?
Stop it! I regret ever joining this group!
I's a real pity that you feel like this.
That our chats do more damage than good.
But surely there was a point to it all?
That you'd got over the socks?
Definitely not. My socks were wonderful. I miss my socks!
That evening when your wife found you, Olle.
Tell us about it again.
I've buried all that so deep.
I can't dig all that up again.
Take your time, let it out...
I want to, really want to...
I don't see how I can...
That evening when your wife found you.
Take your time...
We're here...
It's like this. Like this.
She came home early.
She'd been stock-taking in the shop and wasn't feeling well.
So she came home early.
And there was I in bed with another girl I'd met.
So you'd taken another woman to your shared home?
No, no... It was a hotel.
A hotel...
Which was it?
It was a hotel!
So how come she found you out?
I don't know.
The hotel bill... Matches...
Matches... I'll be damned if I know.
Wait... So she didn't catch you?
No... Not directly like that.
Wait a minute, I don't get this.
What happened that evening
when your wife came home?
There.
But I've told you.
I...
Wasn't it like that?
She came home.
And she heard
me playing with my daughter.
But you mentioned a girl...
What did she catch you doing?
I said last time.
But what was it?
We were cuddling. What's so unusual about that?
It must've been something unusual as you refer to it all the time.
Dad? Are we having pancakes tonight?
Yes, were having pancakes.
Yummy.
You're Daddy's little fatty.
You're the fat one.
OK, you're just a little chubby...
An Eskimo kiss?
What was so special about just this occasion?
We cuddled...
We cuddled and...
She never liked us doing all that.
Who?
She felt left out.
She was jealous.
She might've thought there was something going on between us.
There was something going on between us.
It's...
Daddy's little fatty.
OK, you're just a little chubby.
Hello. Olle?
Elin!
She came home.
We were lying in bed, cuddling, and the music stopped.
It's gone dark.
What did I say? 11 o'clock.
I can't believe they've cut us off!
Wait, I've got a torch.
Hello, there's been a power cut.
We can see that! Get out!
I think you're the pits.
It's getting late anyway. Let's wind this up...
No! Olle must finish his story.
The art class had a party last night.
I'll go and see if there are any candle stumps left.
We took in a load of strange girls from welfare here.
We helped them get a better life.
Johanna was one of them.
She and Tony became a couple.
Tony was in love with her
and maybe she was in love too.
We didn't talk about that much.
I don't know when it started to get passionate between me and Johanna,
but maybe it was when I explained how things worked here.
That she must give a bit in return if she was to have a future here.
And one night he caught us at it.
There I was, messing with his girl.
"What the fuck are you staring at?" I said.
I thought then he'd kill me.
But he just slunk away like a shame-faced little boy.
"Sorry", he said.
"Sorry."
You should never have gone groping our girls, Tony.
It was my place, for Gods sake!
You could've had the world.
But you would've had to conquer it first just like I had to.
I was nineteen.
I was
nothing.
I wanted a life.
A real life.
Did you get one?
I'm alive.
So am I.
Dad's dead.
Is he?
Is he dead?
I can remember a time of darkness
when I lived a meaningless life
Then I heard his voice from above
telling me the road we should take
He is my song and my joy
He is my Lord and my God
Jesus, in your safe hands
I will rest until the end of time
After the day of judgement
in the new Jerusalem
I will kneel me down at His feet
and He'll say, "Welcome home"
He is my song and my joy...
Landin, SSK 5212.
That's the last of them.
We were in the bedroom.
She was there with me.
The music stopped.
I fell into a panic.
Hello?
Dad, are we having pancakes tonight?
Yes, we're having pancakes.
Yummy.
Elin!
You're Daddy's little fatty.
You're the fat one.
OK, you're just a little chubby.
An Eskimo kiss?
You were very good today.
I scored a goal.
Olle!
What was that?
Daddy...
I'm frightened.
Hi!
I was with my daughter.
We should stop.
What do you mean, with her?
We were cuddling.
What do you mean, cuddling?
We were in bed together.
What were you doing to her?
Tell us!
I was between her...
Between?
You know...
No, I don't.
Tell us what you did to your daughter!
I had an erection. I was between her legs.
Don't you recognise me...
Dad?
I's me, Elin.
Your little fatty.
Daddy's little fatty.
This is obviously a delicate situation...
Can't you be quiet?
Don't you ever know when you're to be quiet?
My notes may not be useful to you...
Shut up!
I don't need you anymore. Go away.
I will not. This is my group and...
Who do you think you are?
You run a cooking course. Have you forgotten?
Well? You can just shut up or piss off!
Elin?
I
have spent my life wondering what's wrong with me.
Why I haven't been like everyone else.
And I've thought
that I've always been broken.
And that is because of you.
Until Mum told me
what you did to me.
And then I realised.
I realised that it wasn't up here
but here that was broken.
I hate you.
... and dancing
and Kjell Levrén was
happy and...
This is how I always want it to be.
Can't we do it again?
No.
I'm tired of this.
I can't do this anymore, Christer.
I can't cope.
But didn't you have fun tonight?
No, I did not have fun.
But everyone else had great...
Nobody had fun.
They're humouring you.
Don't you see?
People don't want to hurt you.
So they go along with it.
Nobody's having fun.
You have to slow down.
I don't recognise you.
Why can't you be like you were before?
But...
this is what I'm like!
I'm ashamed of you Christer.
I'm ashamed for being ashamed.
And Morgan.
Kjell Levrén sitting there telling him...
Wait. Where's Morgan?
I'd best be off.
Bye.
Bye, Olle.
I'll take the glasses.
Here's a little food for you.
Come here, Pussy!
No!
No.
Dad!
Morgan?
Morgan! What are you doing?
Morgan, my darling boy.
There, there. What are you doing?
There, there...
How's things, Ray? All right?
Are you thirsty? I'll see if we've got any more lemonade.
You're not getting stiff?
That's good.
Hello.
Here comes another one.
Wave!
It's Jonsson.
Hello.
My name's Ray. What's your name?
My name's Christer.
