-Hey. -I moved things around.
I felt bad for the girls for not coming right away.
I took the ferry. That's why I'm early.
The flight tickets are insane. My condolences.
Thank you.
-How are you? -It's pretty hard.
I talked to the girls the day after.
You poor thing.
I should have been there when it happened.
We were invited and everything.
But Iben wanted me to come with her to the doctor's on Friday.
She's also a bit jealous that we're so familiar with each other.
Are… Are the girls home?
No, they were home for a few days,
but they wanted to go back to daily life and school.
Should I throw away the wilted ones and put these here?
Yeah.
The hose is replaced, so you can wash away.
Hello, Finn.
Oh yes, you've met.
-Yeah. -Yeah. Sure.
Wow. I see. Sorrow and joy walking hand in hand.
No.
Bjørnar just helped me with the washing machine because…
Appliances don't stop working even if you lose a parent, so…
That's life.
I'll just… I'll put these in water. I can take them.
It's not easy knowing what to say in these circumstances and…
Ole was someone I thought very highly of.
He was so… honest.
He… didn't like me very much. He was quite clear about that.
Should I put on some coffee?
No, no. Don't do anything on my behalf.
I thought I'd… I'll go over to Geir's right away with my suitcase.
So as not to intrude.
I'll stay in Oslo as long as you need, Pørni.
Or as long as the girls need.
Thank you.
I just have to be back in Copenhagen by the 17th.
That's when… We have so many meetings with…
A literary agent is coming from across the pond, so it's like…
Well… It's Iben's daughter's birthday, and there's a lot of…
But I'll come to the funeral.
Thank you.
-Keep in touch. -Yeah, bye.
PERNILLE
What if we play "You'll Never Walk Alone" when we carry out the coffin?
Could we have live music, though?
I was at a funeral once where the deceased didn't want any speeches.
He just wanted music. And the tech didn't work.
So… it was just really painful.
-No music came out? -No.
It was just skipping.
In my box there was a note saying that there was a box for you too.
And it…
I haven't snooped. I just opened the lid.
-There's a MacBook. -From Dad?
He always thought my Apple products were so old.
That's me and Anne.
Must be Mom's jewelry.
"My dear daughter…
if you read this, you are sad."
Sorry.
Sorry? Hey…
Yeah. "…you are sad."
"Don't be sad."
"Don't suck on the candy of sorrow."
"That's actually important."
"Switch your old MacBook to this one,
but have a look at the videos I made there."
-Wanna watch it alone? -No, you have to watch with me.
My dear girl.
A couple of years ago, I saw a horror movie with Stephen.
There was a lady who recorded a video
because she was afraid she was gonna kick the bucket.
I thought it was a good idea in case something happened.
So… I've written a note. Yes.
I don't know what our last conversation will be like.
So I'll tell you this here and now.
I love you.
I think you are completely amazing.
I think we've said most things to each other,
but… you're my little girl.
Yes, I know you thought differently.
You thought Anne was my favorite.
-And she was. -Yes, she was.
But… that was because she needed me the most.
I was never worried about you. You were so strong.
But strong people also need people.
Go out and find those people. Those who are good for you.
And take care of Stephen for me.
That's it. I'm done with the mushy stuff.
Let's see here. I have some thoughts about the funeral.
One, I want a full church. It should be completely full to the brim.
Two, my sister Elisabeth and I promised each other long ago
that the one who lived longer would sing at the other's funeral.
It's a song that many, many people will love very, very much.
At least, we loved it when we were little.
The jacket's made of meatballs Of meatballs, of meatballs
The jacket's made of meatballs And his name is Åkken Bom
And he's playing on a ladle A ladle, a ladle…
Did Grandpa want this one?
Give me strength.
With new lyrics that Elisabeth will write
because it was special to them when they were young, but…
I want nice songs at the funeral,
even if that song was special to them.
I don't want any unintentionally funny stuff.
-Hello! -Oh, hi.
Weren't you sleeping at Dad's?
Yeah, but it wasn't very nice at Geir's.
We wanted to be with you.
We can still go to Liverpool, right?
Peter's asking, because he's organized so much,
wondering if he should cancel.
I don't know. It was supposed to be Grandpa's trip.
With us, of course, but won't it be sad to go without him?
Or nice.
Could be nice too.
It's in a month. It's gonna feel different.
I think Grandpa would get mad if we didn't go.
He's paid 83,700 kroner for that trip.
Was he that particular about the price?
Yeah, he was bragging about how much it cost him.
Yeah. I need to think about it.
Let's do the funeral first.
Wanna see the song Grandpa wants in the funeral?
Yeah.
And the jacket's made of meatballs Of meatballs, of meatballs
Are you joking? Did he lose it at the end?
And his name is Åkken Bom
And he's playing on a ladle A ladle, a ladle…
Hello.
-Hi. -Hi, Pørni.
Condolences. So sad to hear it.
-Thank you. -My condolences.
Thank you for the flowers.
That made me happy. Hi.
You're not at work, right?
No, no. I just needed to do something other than Dad's paperwork…
You're… Are you here?
You're on sick leave. You can't be here.
You're not working, right?
I'm sorry about your dad, by the way.
Oh my God. Sorry. I should have said that first.
Yeah, it's fine. I'm not working. Just visiting.
-Oh. Great. -Pernille?
Do you have a minute?
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-It's okay. Thanks, Solveig. -Yeah.
Now you know. You're the first one I've told.
-Everyone's so happy now. -Yeah.
And I… I'm glad that I managed to work out the kinks in the beginning.
Not every day you get headhunted, though.
And I'm interested in the politics,
so I'm thinking that Bufdir is a great place for me right now.
Can't call you Municipality-Bjørnar anymore.
You'll be County Governor-Bjørnar now. Congratulations.
Yeah, you should change the prefix on your phone.
I'll call you if my washing machine breaks again.
That's fine.
And we could hang out.
Yeah, I think we should.
Should you be driving when you're on sick leave?
I like driving people.
Remember to take care of yourself, okay?
Am I right in thinking that the father was high last time you were here?
That's right.
But he's been giving negative urine samples for a few weeks now.
For fuck's sake!
You have to give notice!
Let's go inside and get dressed.
I HEARD YOU DROVE MADJID AND ERON. YOU'RE NOT WORKING?
JUST HANGING OUT WITH COLLEAGUES. NOT WORKING!
Jarle! Marthe!
Jarle! Marthe! Hey.
Are you coming to visit today?
Madjid is talking to Daddy now,
so maybe you should wait before you go inside.
Maybe you could show me the tree house
that Daddy built for you.
-We have a secret club there. -Really?
You can come with us, though, if you don't tell anyone.
I won't tell. My lips are zipped. Where is it?
Come here.
TO MADJID - KIDS CAME HOME. WE'RE PLAYING IN THE TREE HOUSE.
Homelander isn't a bad guy, really.
Ryan is both good and bad.
-Ryan is Homelander's son, right? -Yeah, Homelander is his daddy.
Marthe! Jarle!
Can you come down?
We'll have a chat with Madjid and Eron.
-Yes. Coming. -Yeah.
Good.
You're so good at sick leave.
I've been lucky enough to have two amazing daughters
whom I've loved more than life itself.
One of them I lost,
but I've chosen to be happy with what I've got.
Three wonderful… grandchildren,
Leo, Hanna, and Sigrid.
Thank you so much for them.
Finn, take care of your girls. They need you.
And I got an amazing son-in-law in you, Charlie.
And in "the autumn of my life," as they say, I meet you, Stephen.
I…
I love you.
In the last few days I've thought that…
being loved by a person like Baldwin
for almost three years,
that's enough love
for a lifetime.
You taught us that
as long as you're alive, it's never too late.
You came out very late as gay.
But when you did come out, you came out with
pomp and ceremony and… trumpets and timpani.
As with everything else you ever did.
You were not quiet.
And you were warm.
And you were funny.
Or "zesty," as I say.
And you… you were so…
You were so full of love.
For your family.
I'm sure that there is a light somewhere ahead.
But right now it's… It's very hard to see.
Dear Ole Johan.
My brother.
On the moon there lived a little man
A little man, a little man
On the moon there lived a little man
His name was Ole Johan
And he's playing on a ladle
A ladle, a ladle
And he's playing on a ladle
And his name was Ole Johan
He got his driving license late
But he got it, and he drove forth
His head was also moon-shaped
Now, he's come home
And he's playing on a ladle
A ladle, a ladle
And he's playing on a ladle
Now, he's come home
Thank you.
Ready to get back to work?
I've never had this much time off.
The devil finds work for idle hands.
Short trip to Liverpool, and I'll be ready for violence again.
Yeah.
I'm glad you've taken your time, at least.
It was a good idea.
Not rushing into anything when something like that happens.
Talking about work now?
Yeah. And maybe us, mostly.
I think it's good that we're taking it slow.
That we're not making the same mistake as last time.
We'll take it easy.
You can take things too easy too, though, right?
I need to get back.
Have a nice trip.
-Thank you. -Have fun.
Thanks.
And…
Buy me a Liverpool cap if you can find one.
You got it.
You'll miss your bus.
No. I'll take the next one.
I don't like that Grandpa hasn't had anyone tend to the grave.
Or you. It's your mom.
There must be a cemetery department in Liverpool.
I think he did it for years, but
I do agree. Maybe we should ask Peter.
I have a buddy who's studying in Liverpool
who asked me if we could help him move a couch.
Can we postpone meeting at the stadium until 7:00?
I'm sorry. Couch and buddy? Isn't this a family trip?
Yeah, but he's been depressed, and he wanted to meet Peter.
Should we go to Grandpa's favorite pub?
Yeah…
Maybe Leo and I could go to that vintage store?
We won't have time for shopping before the game tomorrow.
That's true. You do that. Have fun.
We'll meet on the steps outside Anfield at 7:00. Be on time.
I'm always on time.
Remember that we love you.
-Hey! How are you? -Hey.
I should be asking you that.
But are you… Are you okay? Having a nice time in Liverpool?
Oh, sure. We went to the Titanic museum this morning, shouting,
"Do you trust me?" The kids loved it.
Yeah. And you? Are you okay?
Yeah. I went to my mom's grave earlier and…
I met Kenny Dalglish at a pub totally randomly.
You're joking.
-No. -Oh my God! That's huge!
I know. It was… Oh my God, what a guy.
If I'm honest, I feel a bit like a loser right now.
Sitting by a sign saying, "You'll never walk alone,"
waiting for the kids, who are very late.
I feel like there's too little "walking" and a little too much "alone," maybe.
But are you sitting on the steps outside Anfield
to the left of Shankly, feeling sorry for yourself?
Do you have me on Snap Map or what?
Turn around.
-Are you here? -Yeah, I guess I am.
I booked a ticket and talked to Hanna a while ago
about surprising you.
I was wondering if the kids would be able to lie, but…
You do look surprised.
Hey!
-Hey. -Hey.
So tell me. Did you get a selfie with King Kenny?
No, I was so starstruck that I called him "mister." He's a "sir."
Excuse me… What? Conspiring with…
-I'm so confused. -I get that.
I just have to take the leap.
Pernille… Middelthon.
I can be an idiot.
But me knowing I can be an idiot is an extenuating circumstance.
The reason I'm standing here, outside Anfield,
by some steps, having conspired with your kids,
is that I love you.
I want this… no matter what. That's why I'm here.
Pernille…
Will you… Will you marry me?
If you meant what you said when you practiced Ole Johan's speech, that is.
Of course I meant it.
I thought you wanted to take it easy.
Yeah, but… as a woman wiser than me once said,
"You can take things too easy too."
So what do you say?
-Of course I will. -Yeah?
We love you!
You have reached Ole Johan Baldwin Middelthon,
pensioner, proud, and outdoorsman.
I'm no longer a GP, but I'll call you back
if you were one of my favorite patients.
For any emergencies, call 113. Bye-bye.
Hi, Dad. I just wanted to thank you for the trip.
It was amazing being at Anfield and…
-Hey. -Hey, you.
Was that Anne? Didn't mean to interrupt.
-No, I called Dad. -Oh, I see.
Dinner's ready.
-But call your dad first. -No.
I'll come with you.
I'm not gonna make a habit of barging into your garage.
That's okay.
-I just wanted to tell Dad. -That we're getting married?
No. That I met Kenny Dalglish.
Of course you should.
-Go call your dad. -Do you mean that?
Of course. I'll keep dinner warm and toasty for you.
Thank you.
