Many hotels and restaurants are involved and one is the Djurgårdskällaren.
We're here to talk about the debt you have with Ragnarsson... it must be paid.
I wanna marry you. - I can't.
I thought you loved me.
You want me to shake Mr. Löwander a bit? - I wanna try something else first.
Are you Suzanne? - Yes.
I believe you can help us.
We'll pay you back at reasonable interests and we'll keep buying from you.
We can't see each other anymore. - You're a coward!
I can't risk losing Uno!
Are you still up for a movie? - Of course.
What do you wanna see?
I'm looking for a woman, Suzanne Goldstein. - And you are...?
I'm her husband.
One whiff and they'll shut us down. - A coffee with Grand Marnier in it.
I'll see what I can do.
Your liquor license will be withdrawn effective immediately.
CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
Our Chef "poissonnier" just quit. - Can't blame him, he's got wife and kids.
That's one long meeting. - Let's hope they come up with something.
Goodbye, take care. - You too.
Majken too? - She's going back home to Örnsköldsvik.
Have you been looking for another job too? - No.
I didn't even tell mom what happened.
You don't want her to worry but she'll hear about it eventually.
I know.
She can't wait to meet you.
Me? - Yes.
You talked to her about me? - Yes.
What did you tell her? - That you keep bugging me all day long.
Also that I miss your voice when I'm home.
Who would have thought...

EPISODE 6 - REOPENING -
Peter and I have been working on an idea.
We're gonna let people think closing was our own choice.
No one will ever believe that. - We can't afford to go on like this.
Everything will be different when we reopen.
The idea is inspired by the French bistro.
Much less formal but with still excellent food and service.
"D-K Club"... what is that? - DK Club.
Music and dancing every night.
That's exactly what young people in Stockholm are looking for.
Plus, for the inauguration, Alice Jo.
Alice Jo...? - Mom... everyone's talking about her!
She just got back from her American tour.
Sounds expensive, can we afford this? - Yes, if everyone helps.
Agnes and her friends will help us for free. - Of course, we'll also need liquid assets.
How about a mortgage on the summer house?
Mom, we'll have to close down for good...
I'll talk to the bank. - Thanks.
A flyer from the Union?
From the Union.
Have you joined the Union? - I don't think anyone has.
We heard the restaurant closed down. - It's just temporary.
That's what they say but what if they won't reopen?
All Union members have unemployment indemnity.
We have a staff meeting today, let's see what they say.
For all members, the Union itself negotiates with employers.
I have to go now.
What's your name? - Margareta, but everyone calls me Maggan.
Ursula. Come see us one of these days.
Good morning.
Get rid of that thing. - Why?
"Union" is a curse word here, the Director would be furious.
We're about the only ones not in the Union.
The Djurgårdskällaren has always taken care of its own employees.
Is that so?
These are special circumstances, the Löwanders themselves are also affected.
The Union wants to help workers, not to contrast the Löwanders.
Take my advice... get rid of that and get ready.
The meeting is at 9, try not to be late.
First of all, we thank you for your patience.
The last days have been very agitated but you stuck it out and we appreciate that.
Now some good news: the Djurgårdskällaren will reopen.
There will be changes though. A new restaurant with a new menu...
...and for a while you'll be asked to do jobs that are not usually yours.
We might need you to paint a wall or go pick up the new menus, for example.
Yes? - What about the pay?
Waiters live mostly out of tips. - We can't afford extra payments, unfortunately.
Who stays will get the normal pay, minus tips.
But we understand if someone would decide to quit.
Together, we'll make the Djurgårdskällaren the best restaurant in Stockholm. Thank you.
Are you mixing French with Swedish?
You want me to put chopped liver on my Tournedos Rossini?
You'll think of something. - Come on, innovating is fun!
The cold buffet will remain one of our strong points but I want it simplified.
Food will be served as it is.
No artistic solutions, no redundant toppings, no rose-shaped radishes. Ok?
Bring me a new menu by the end of the week.
He wants to teach me to cook. - What's wrong with my radish?
We lost our fish Chef and we have no time to replace him,
therefore we'll focus on meat and cold dishes.
Excuse me, Chef. - Yes, Calle?
Maybe I could help with that.
Are you a fish Chef? - I was his assistant back at the Hasselbacken.
I also helped here. - He's very good.
Can you do without him? - We'll be extra busy but we'll manage.
Alright then, until we get a new poissonnier. - Thanks for your trust, Chef.
Ok... Calle and Holger, I want at least 4 new recipes from you, understood?
Yes, Chef. - Good.
Holger, we can work together, I got some ideas...
Now listen... you're only here temporarily, so don't get too comfortable.
Don't mind him.
What have I done to him? - You've just moved into the main kitchen.
I can't believe he accepted, now I must create something amazing!
Will you help me? - Of course.
I made a deal with Ragnarsson, you don't have to worry about those pictures anymore.
I only have to worry about the restaurant then. - We have a plan.
The liquor license must be the first concern of any restaurant manager.
We lost it because of your old habits.
Soon I'll be out and you'll be free to return to your studies.
When are you getting out? - In days, my lawyer is negotiating with the Procurator.
Anything else I should know? - Well... we're making a few adjustments.
Like what?
Nothing big, just some remodeling.
We're about tradition and quality and so we must remain.
Of course, only a bit more up-to-date.
We'll discuss it when I get out, it's still MY restaurant.
Alice, can we have your autograph? - Of course.
Thank you very much.
Alice, I'd like to talk to you about a club I'm opening.
You'll have to speak with my manager. - It'll only take a minute.
You're quite pushy, Miss...? - Löwander, Nina Löwander.
I heard that name before. - I organize jazz nights at my family's restaurant...
Alice, I love you!
I have friends who played there. - We're about to reopen...
...and we wanna do something in the style of the Stork Club. - Stork Club! That's a fantastic place!
Many bands would like to come and play on the inauguration...
...but we want it to be truly... exceptional.
I'd like someone really high level.
What do you think? - It's interesting, I'll have my manager get in touch with you.
This is the appeal...
...and this is the request for the new license.
You know the requirements for issuing a license, right?
Of course.
We require a clean record... and if I'm not mistaking, your Director is still detained by the police.
There is no sentence, he'll be released soon.
He's not denying any involvement though, he'll be charged with something eventually.
No license.
Alice Jo said yes, I just have to speak with her manager.
Great.
What's wrong? - We didn't get it.
What...? Do we have to cancel everything?
No, we go on as planned.
What are we gonna serve? Milk and root beer?
I'll think of something.
Don't tell the staff... or mom.
God forbid... dammit, Peter!
Here's our architect! - We're gonna need all the help we can find!
Here they are. - Great.
All upstairs! - Welcome.
Can you take my place at the meeting? I got something to do.
Who am I supposed to meet? - Erik Rehnskiöld, a wine salesman.
Alright. - Watch out, he loves young women...
Sweet... how old is he? - Almost 80.
I think I can handle him.
Are you leaving?
Thanks, I'd never had done it without you. - Are you staying?
Just a bit longer.
Here.
What is it? - Something for weariness.
Is it dangerous? - Everyone in University is using them.
See you tomorrow. - Ok.
Bye. - Bye, thanks.
No?!
I'm sorry, Mrs. Löwander, but the house has already been mortgaged.
Who did it? And when?
The mortgage contract has been signed in 1938 by your dead husband.
The house is mine! It has belonged to my family for three generations!
This is the decision your husband took. - You can't do this!
I'm very sorry, Mrs. Löwander. - I'm the one who's very sorry!
After the US tour, everyone wants her... and the price goes up.
We're just opening, our budget is limited.
Alice likes you and wants to play here but you have plenty of competition.
Alright then. - Good, half now and half before the show.
I don't have that cash on me, can I come by later?
Ok.
Mom, have you spoken to the bank?
Yes, it's all settled. - Good, 'cause I gotta pay Alice Jo upfront.
It's more than I thought but it's gonna be worth it.
I don't have it right now, the accountant was ill.
There's gotta be someone else, I need the money now.
You'll have it tomorrow. - Good.
I gotta go now, I have an appointment with a reporter from the Vecko-Journalen.
Good. You've been practicing, I can hear it.
You're very good. Continue.
Go on.
Who is it?
Suzanne? I'm Philippe.
Philippe??
It's impossible!
This will be the restaurant.
Simple dishes... you know.
This will be the dance floor. - The restaurant has been involved in a huge scandal,
what do you think of it? - I try to look forward, the DK Club is an example.
Isn't this a hard task for a young woman like you?
I don't see why I couldn't run a business just as good as my brothers would.
Alice Jo will play the inauguration. - Alice Jo? Can I print that?
Of course, thanks for coming. - Thanks.
Looking for someone? - Are you Nina Löwander?
Yes.
Hello. Erik Rehnskiöld. - Ah... hello.
I bet you were expecting my uncle. - Yes.
Unfortunately he's sick.
I'm sorry.
What's going on here? - We're opening a club.
Just what the city needed, people will drink good wine here.
In the restaurant, says my brother. - I just got back from Bordeaux, I brought back some great wine.
If you come to our cellar, I guarantee you'll become a huge wine lover.
How about tonight? - Sorry, I'm busy tonight.
Maybe some other time. - Alright.
Nice meeting you, Miss Löwander. - You can call me Nina.
What the hell is going on here...? Roos, what are you doing?
Changing the furniture. - No, no, no... everyone stop now!
What is it?
Keep working, we don't have much time!
Hi. - Hi.
How can you accept it, Mom?
They're destroying what you and dad built! - Don't be so dramatic, it's just new furniture.
I refuse to accept this, I'm still the Director!
Of course you are, the restaurant needs you and your expertise.
But...? - But Peter and Nina must be free to try out their ideas...
...and they have my full support.
And I shall be some kind of puppet? Forget it!
Have you got the license back? - Soon.
Don't forget there's my name on it.
Problems with the license? - No.
Peter is such a hypocrite, he had his eyes on the restaurant from the beginning.
He says he's doing it for the good of the restaurant and mom is buying it.
Don't give up, you're the Director. - It's just a fancy title.
The staff will be on your side. What about Roos and Chef Backe?
They won't go against mom.
You can bring Helga to your side but you gotta be there, defend your place.
In mom's eyes, Peter is never wrong. She even accepted Suzanne!
About Suzanne... I heard something.
She gives piano lessons to the son of a friend of mine.
It seems a man showed up at her door and she was so shocked she passed out.
Passed out?
It must have been very unpleasant for the kid, he doesn't wanna go back.
A table for 6 at 8.
Very good, welcome.
Djurgårdskällaren, good evening.
Sorry, the 24th we're booked up.
What's this?
Soup, Chef. - I can see that... what kind of soup?
Bouillabaisse. - I see... you're cooking French now.
Yes, Chef.
Have you ever been to Marseille, Calle? - Where?
Marseille, in France, where they invented Bouillabaisse.
No, Chef.
Have you ever had Bouillabaisse? - No, Chef... but I've read dozens of recipes.
I was expecting more, from both of you. You can go.
We're both wasting time, Mr. Löwander. The Djurgårdskällaren won't get the license back.
This request is not for Djurgårdskällaren. - For what then?
Restaurant DK.
I have no record, my name is clean.
Have you got enough experience?
I grew up in a restaurant and I've surrounded myself with very competent people.
I'll talk with my colleagues. - How long will it take?
We'll discuss it in our next meeting. - When will that be?
Next Thursday afternoon. - But we open the following day.
Then you'll have to postpone the opening.
Mom, look at the obscenities on the walls, what would dad say?
I've seen much worse in Berlin in the 20's, when your father and I lived there.
Actually...
I think this part here is not very well drawn.
Could you define the contours a little bit better?
So... shall we try the new menu? - I'll be right there.
Where are you going? - I have an appointment.
I need the maximum discretion. - You can count on me.
You must keep an eye on my brother's fiancee. - The girl who plays the piano?
Exactly, watch her close. - Why?
Because I ask you to do it!
I wanna know who she meets. Don't let anyone see you, especially my brother.
Bring me something good and you'll double this.
I'll tell Backe you're running errands for me.
Good.
Thank you, good job.
Cold dishes too, Ethel, many good recipes.
The shellfish cocktail is amazing. - Thank you.
Meat dishes are good as usual. - I think the filet is the best.
I'm very interested in the fish dishes.
What's your opinion, Backe?
Our fish Chef is new, we can always replace him.
No way! That soup is one of the best I've ever had!
I agree, it was excellent.
We'd like the meat dishes to be that innovative too. - True.
Can you call the fish Chef in? - I'll get him.
This was great. - The one with asparagus as well.
Here's our fish Chef.
Thanks, Inger.
Look at here! A double page article on you and the DK Club!
"The Djurgårdskällaren's new generation wants to bring American night life in Stockholm."
Let me see.
And right there is Alice Jo, it couldn't be any better!
I don't really get her music but it seems everybody else likes it.
There you go.
Now you can deal with her manager. - Thanks, mom.
Can you put me in contact with the Jewish Association? Thanks.
You were dead.
I saw them shooting you. - But I survived.
Yes.
I thought I'd lost all of you, it was unbearable.
Together we'll overcome the pain.
Let's go back to Paris and start over again.
Start over?
I don't know what to say.
I already started over. - With the man you're living with?
Does he know about you and me? About Sarah and Jérome?
Stop it! - Suzanne, come back with me!
No... I can't come back, I don't have the nerve...
I'll help you! - I...
Please, don't go... I need you.
I'm sorry, Philippe... I really am...
...but I can't.
Here's the contract, ready to be signed, and here's the money.
Are you booked up? - The phone never stopped ringing, we even have a waiting list.
Are you familiar with economic terms? - Yes.
"Supply and demand"... and how the two things are strictly connected?
Of course, but... - Your restaurant will have a full house thanks to Alice,
I think it's fair she gets paid accordingly.
We agreed on the price, there's nothing to discuss.
You said you have a waiting list thanks to Alice.
So the demand has increased, while the supply has not.
What if suddenly there's no supply at all?
You can't change the price now.
I want double. - It's impossible!
This is what we agreed on.
Then we have nothing else to talk about.
Is there any way to contact him?
My restaurant opens tomorrow, I need to know whether I have a license or not!
Ready to taste some great wine?
I completely forgot! I'm too busy I'm afraid.
I understand.
I'm sure Peter can taste it. - We'll do it some other time.
To tell the truth, I came back to see you.
Me? - Don't act surprised... can I help you in any way?
You sing? - Often and for everyone else's displeasure.
Alice Jo's manager raised the price and I can't afford it anymore.
Nobody will show up. - They will show up, you know why?
They wanna see you.
You think it's a coincidence I came here instead of my uncle.
Things will work out, Nina, and in the meantime... how about some wine?
Let's see... - Do we have to drink 'em all?
If you want... let's start with a Chateau Mouton Rothschild.
Nothing's better than this.
I gotta go.
Holger, put away the meat before it goes bad.
I'm almost done, Chef. - Calle, help him out with the meat.
Yes, chef. - I'm off now.
Leave it.
We're quicker together. - I handle my station.
The Chef asked me to. - I don't want your help! Are you deaf?
Sonja, are you ready?
So?
Something interesting happened today.
She usually stays home but today she went out and met someone.
Who? - A man.
They looked like they were close, they were holding hands.
Did you hear what they said? - No but she seemed sad.
Can I have my money now?
Good job, keep watching her.
Hi, darling. Sorry I'm late... again.
I called you but you didn't answer. - I went out.
What a shitty day!
Still no word about the license.
Full house plus the waiting list and we have no license.
It'll be the flop of the century.
Sorry... I only talk about myself.
How are you? How was your day?
Not so good. Listen...
There's something I gotta tell you.
Aren't you feeling well?
No... I think I'm coming down with something.
Maybe one of the kids passed it on to me.
I don't think I'll be able to play tomorrow. - Don't worry, just get better.
Go to sleep, I'll join you later.
I love you. - I love you too.
Goodnight. - Night.
Morning.
What is it?
The meat has been left out of the fridge, we gotta throw it.
Holger says you went out with a girl instead of helping him.
He didn't want me to help at all.
In fact he sent me away, he's the one who left the meat out.
Why would I do that? - Because you want me to go back to cold dishes.
Keep in mind that you're a temp here, you'll be back to anchovies and herring tails.
Who's in charge here? - You are, Chef.
You trust my judgement, Holger? - Of course, Chef.
Yet you say I was wrong putting him here. - I didn't mean that...
You just said that Calle shouldn't be in the place where I put him myself.
That's not what I... - Sorry, I can't hear you.
No, Chef.
Miss? - Yes, Chef?
Did you leave with Calle last night?
Yes, Chef. - Then it's true.
It's not... Calle wanted to help but Holger wouldn't let him.
I can explain... - You are right... my judgement was questionable.
Get your pay, minus the meat you left to rot...
...and if I ever see you in here again, I'll put you in the soup pot myself, get lost!
We open in 8 hours and we have to replace 4 or 5 dishes... any suggestions?
We have plenty of shellfish and shrimp.
We also have plenty of potatoes and onions, right? - That's right.
Then I have an idea.
Hi. - Alice!
Do you already have a band for tonight? I'd love to do something myself.
I'd also love to, but your manager asked for too much.
Ex-manager, I just fired him.
Good for you! - So... how about you pay me with dinner and Champagne?
It's a deal! - What you mean he didn't show up? Where is he?
Director Göransson is never late, I don't know where he might be.
You wanna leave a message? - Tell him to call me right away!
Shit!
How's going? - Good... all good.
Doesn't look like.
I'm fine, just a bit nervous.
Does mom know you didn't get the license?
I knew that was all an act.
Gustaf! - Hi, mom.
You look very pleased. Where's Peter?
He's coming.
Peter! - Is there something you wanna tell us?
Yes... - He didn't get the liquor license.
Peter... that can't be true! - Mom, I...
Excuse me, Mr. Löwander.
Inspector Göransson! - Mr. Löwander, nice to see you.
She's my sister, Nina Löwander. This is Inspector Göransson.
Nice to meet you, do we have a license then? - Yes... and no.
What you mean?
You'll have the license but the document you gave me was expired.
I need a valid ID. - Can I bring it tomorrow?
Of course, however you can't serve alcohol tonight. - But we're about to open!
Rules are rules.
Can't you make an exception? You know I'm Peter Löwander.
I need a confirmation. - How can I persuade you?
You can bring me a valid document. - For God's sake...
I've done more than enough just coming here.
I thought you kept a valid document here at the restaurant but I was wrong.
Goodbye.
Inspector, this is Alice Jo. - Nice to meet you.
She's gonna perform here tonight. - I know, I'm a big fan myself.
In fact, I plan to see the show. - Without license there will be no show.
Miss Jo can't possibly perform in an empty club.
Pancakes ready!
Two pancakes!
Erik, you came. - Finally I see the host of the evening.
What a night.
Alice Jo... how did you do it? - I can do everything, didn't you know?
Thanks to you, I'm also a wine expert now. - I thought so.
Will you come to dinner with me sometime?
Is that a yes? - Yes.
Miss Löwander, can I take a photo of you and your fiancee?
He's not my fiancee but take the picture anyway.
Director, your back! That's good news!
Finally a friendly face! I want you to know we missed you.
The same goes for me, it's a pleasure to see you again.
The renovation is my brother's idea, I'm sorry if you feel uncomfortable.
Renovation? Where?
We're just sorry we don't have our usual table.
I'll take care of that right away.
A little renovation isn't a bad thing, we like this table.
Was it you the model for these drawings? - No... enjoy your dinner.
Sorry... - Idiot!
Clean up and tell Roos how many glasses you broke.
They're coming out of your pay.
He bumped into me! He can't make me pay!
It's just not fair.
Well... congratulations, everything you touch becomes gold.
I didn't do it alone. - Don't be so modest.
Thank you, goodnight.
It was time for a change. The rest was just hard work.
We're all here except Suzanne, where is she?
She's not well. - I'm sorry, I hope she'll get better.
Is there anyone taking care of her right now?
She's alone?
If you work too long, someone will take her away from you.
We are fine, don't worry about it.
Glad to hear that, you're very lucky.
Hi. - Maggan, hi!
Am I disturbing? I can come back... - No way! Come in!
Guys, this is Maggan. She works at the Djurgårdskällaren.
We've been trying to recruit someone from that restaurant for very long.
Hang your coat there.
You can go home. - Thanks.
How did you get in? - I know the owners... the secret is not leaving.
Sorry, kitchen is closed. - But I'm so hungry!
Maybe I can make an exception... how about pancakes? - Sounds great.
They're on the menu now, everyone loves them. - I heard.
Look, I had it delivered right off the press.
"Nina Löwander, Queen of Night Life, created a place for all those who like to party."
"With elegance and a touch of London, Paris and New York, now thanks to her, Stockholm seems a bit larger."
Congratulations, I knew you would make it.
Thanks but I was talking about this.
"The menu consists of simple but tasty dishes."
"I personally recommend the crunchy pancakes with caviar, onion and sour cream."
It's your first review, you gotta keep it. - Thanks.
There you are!
Hi.
Erik Rehnskiöld. - Carl Svensson.
Nice to meet you. Shall we go? - Yes.
Goodnight. - Goodnight.
