I'm here with former fireman Birger "Flamman" Larsson.
Mm-hm.
And you've ridden in every Vätternrundan cycling race
since its start in 1966.
Yep.
Uh, so the question is, what's your goal for next year's race?
-What time are you aiming for? -Uh…
Well, the time isn't important to me.
The only reason I do it is because I enjoy it.
For me, it's more of a workout than a competition.
-Sounds wonderful. -Yeah.
Well, having fun is the top priority.
Uh, time doesn't matter at all.
Push at the back.
I couldn't if I tried
Oh, honey, if I get restless
Baby, you're not that kind
Don't go breaking my heart
You take the weight off of me
Oh, honey, when you knock on my door…
Good job, sis.
OFF TRACK 2
Hey.
Nice, isn't it?
Yeah.
Those window frames, they look new, don't they?
The gutters are new, and the facade looks like it's been remodeled.
Could paint it yellow so it would be more uniform.
Wasn't there some damage from water?
Three years ago.
Don't worry.
-Hi. Finally. -Hey!
-We're late. -What time was it?
-Half past. -Well, it's half past now.
Ugh.
-So we're not late. -Dr. Janne's office.
Hi! We're the Nylanders, Klara and Daniel.
Yes, welcome.
-Oh, that's coming in too? Okay. -Of course.
I've got an AA meeting, so we can't stay too long.
Got it.
But…
-Lisa? Hello! -You're kidding.
Oh my goodness, I can't believe it's you! It's been, like, forever!
-It really has. -And who is this?
Oh, hey. Anders.
-Moa. -Nice to meet you.
Cute!
Um…
-Oh, Moa's an old friend of mine. -Yeah, I figured.
What are you up to these days?
And what's with the Sporty Spice look? Fresh!
-Well… -Lisa's going to do Vätternrundan.
What? That sounds super hard.
And what about you, you don't bartend anymore?
No way. If I'd have kept doing that, I would've become an alchy, I swear.
Speaking of, we're getting the old party gang back together for a night out.
-Oh, really? -Mm-hm!
-Excuse me! -Oh, coming.
You're coming. I'm gonna text you.
-It is going to be so much fun. -Sure.
-You're coming, too. Mm-hm. -Yeah. We'll see.
Let me begin by saying that the mere fact that you have come here
shows that this is something that you really have the desire to resolve.
-Sorry, I just need to… -What…
I… I don't know.
I feel like… It feels like the two of us are…
more like business partners instead of in a relationship.
We're a good team.
I can't even remember the last time we did something together, Daniel.
Just you and me.
Something that didn't involve Vera, our daughter.
Do you think I'm over involved with Vera?
What? No, that isn't what I'm saying at all.
It's…
It just seems like we're distant. It feels like there's no intimacy anymore.
Like, whenever we watch TV,
I'm sitting on the couch, and you're in the armchair over there,
so I'm sitting all alone.
And that's not very cozy for me.
No, but it's the coziest seat. I mean…
That's basically the reason I sit--
I think you would both benefit in finding a common interest.
An interest not about Vera.
There is actually research that shows that happier couples
will often do projects together.
I'd love to do projects with her. Really.
But it'll have to be after the bike race when I have time.
Yes, of course. I usually don't have time to work out.
Well, uh, you swim, right?
-How often though? -Couldn't both of you do the bike race?
Uh, I'm going to be racing sub nine.
-Yes. -That means under nine hours.
And that's quite a fast pace, so that would be tough.
Oh, yeah, that's true. That would be very difficult for me.
And how important is that?
How do you think you'd feel if you both compromised?
-Mm. -Um…
Next week I'm going to Antibes.
-You are? -Yes, to visit Stéphane.
-He's built a new house there. -I thought he was called Stig.
You're thinking of Feffe.
Stig is my fuck buddy.
Well, I guess Stéphane is too.
But he lives so far away.
You can't put all your eggs in one basket.
One is just fine for me.
Mm-hm.
What will you do when he gets bored with you?
Replaces you with someone else?
-Anders wouldn't do that. -Wouldn't he?
Well, not now, maybe. But it'll happen, you can bet on it.
-Are you married? -No.
-Good. -What do you mean, "good"?
As soon as he's got a ring on your finger, he'll think he's safe.
That's when he starts fucking around on you.
If not before.
Is Anders gonna live with us all the time?
-Of course he is. -And I'd have my own room?
Yes, if it's not too expensive.
-Hi. -Hi.
Do you want me help you out with anything?
-Can you keep an eye on the sauce? -Yeah.
Isn't it nice?
-Very. -Yeah.
You get to choose your room first. Mom and I will take whatever's left.
-Are you sure? -If we get it.
Thank you.
Is your management group dinner still on Thursday?
-Yup. -I have to work late on Tuesday.
-I'm just letting you know. -Okay. Tuesday's fine.
Off to bed. I'll come read you a story in a second.
-Bedtime. -Sleep tight!
-Wait. Shit. Tuesday? -Yeah.
I made plans with Jens to go hill climbing on Tuesday.
-Can't you do it Wednesday instead? -I think Jens has something Wednesday.
I suppose I'll write down "hill climbing" then on Tuesday.
Would you also text me about it so I can check with Jens?
-Otherwise, I'll forget. -Absolutely.
Also, we need to know who'll be at the barbecue.
-We're missing some RSVPs. -Can't we just skip it?
Things are really stressful right now.
We already sent out invitations. We can't cancel it.
Damn it!
What is it?
Jens was in charge of finding us a place to stay
where we could prepare for the race,
but everything's booked up already.
Can't you just stay at your dad's? His place isn't that far.
Yeah, we could do that, but you know how things are with Dad and my sister.
They don't really get along.
-I'll work something out. -Mm.
I'll come sit with you.
I think I want a divorce.
But…
-Divorce? -Yeah.
What are you talking about? We're not getting divorced.
Well, you know, I just think it's for the best.
Best for us both.
But we can't… Look, we're going to therapy.
-Yes, I know. But… -We're working on it.
-Yeah. -Are we really?
Yeah. Or at least I thought that's what we were doing anyway.
I think it's for the best.
You know what? I think am gonna get something to drink too.
Shh, shh, shh!
Oh God!
Do you think she heard us?
We need something bigger.
You know I'm totally satisfied, don't you?
I was talking about the house.
-Yeah. Yeah. -Yeah.
The bidding starts Monday.
You want to, right?
Do you love me?
No, it's just fun to have someone to sleep with.
I need some water. Want some?
Mm-hm.
Yeah, I think it's a bit stiff.
-Has she met someone else? -Of course she hasn't met someone else.
-That's ridiculous! -Well, what is it about then?
I… I don't know, actually.
Well, I mean…
She thinks I'm too wrapped up in my own business or something.
I don't know.
-Hey. Nice wheels. -You've always been that way.
The therapist suggested doing the Vätternrundan together.
I don't know how that's supposed to help though.
Sounds like a great idea to me. Just do sub nine next year.
-It's good to have joint projects. -Yeah, that's true.
-I read a study about it. -What the hell? Are you kidding?
We've been training for this.
Do you think I have five kids with the same woman
without making compromises?
For God's sake, compromising is silly. You both end up losing.
She must have her reasons.
-Mm. -I agree with Jens.
Your marriage is in jeopardy.
Not like you're chopping off an arm.
No, more like chopping off the legs.
All right then.
-Shall we go? -Yeah, I'm ready.
Great.
Hi, sweetheart!
-Did you go swimming? -Uh-huh.
Are you hungry? What did you eat at pre-school?
-Vegetarian lasagna. -Oh! Nice!
-So, uh… -It's time to get ready for school.
I was thinking I might go away for a week.
So we can have a little time to think about things on our own.
What do you mean when you say "go away"?
We can't do…
I can't keep going this way.
I think…
I think we should do it together.
Vätternrundan, you and me.
The therapist said we should do it together and that it would be good for us.
But…
I mean, it's not that important, the sub nine.
We'll have a great time. It'll be like a little adventure.
Come on, Klara, why not?
Why don't we just, you know, give it a chance, all right?
What do you say?
-A little dry in the throat. -Yeah.
-Ooh, here comes the cake! -Wow!
-Fancy! -Yes! Yeah, right?
I've been baking all night.
Yeah, we can tell, right?
There we go. Thank you, sweetheart.
I'm sorry. Tell me your name again? I've forgotten.
-Sandra. -Sandra, yes. Mm-hm.
Okay.
I would like to…
I think, uh…
Everyone, could I please have your attention for just a moment?
Uh…
It's…
It's been about three years since
I had the honor of locking up this amazing woman in a…
well, in a drunk tank.
There's something else in her glass now. As far as we know.
-As far as we know. -Exactly.
But…
with that said, I…
I want to say that it's been the best three years of my life.
So, Lisa…
Beatrice Nylander…
Will you…
Will you marry me?
Holy sh…
-Oh! -Oh my God.
Oh no! I'm so sorry!
Here. Hope it fits. If not, help yourself to something else.
I'm sure they're fine. Thank you.
Any time.
See ya.
Sorry.
I just felt so sick after the workout.
-It's all right. -Are you sure?
-I'm completely sure. -Mm.
But…
I don't recall ever getting an answer…
to my question.
So will you marry me?
That feels kinda weird when you're wearing my brother's robe.
-Well, yeah. -Yeah.
You're gonna have to pretend it's not there then.
Okay.
Yes.
Yes?
Yeah.
All right.
I love you.
Okay.
Huh?
I'm in. Let's do it.
Let's do it!
Vätternrundan?
Mm-hm.
But only if you promise it'll be a fun adventure. No demands.
Of course it'll be fun.
It's not gonna be like cycling with the guys.
-I'm just letting you know. -I know. I get that.
That makes me happy. It really does.
I got a message from Moa. They're going out on Friday.
I thought I could… swing by.
The old party crowd, huh?
-I've been sober for three years now. -I'm sorry.
-That's not what I meant. Really. -I know.
It's all right.
But maybe you could try to find out something about the bidding?
Absolutely.
Perfect.
-Well, I'm gonna get out of here. -Okay.
-See ya. -Bye.
-Sporty Spice! -Hey!
Hey! Come on over.
-Hey. -My God, Lisa!
-It's been so long! Hey! -So long!
-Hi, Lisa. -How are you?
-I'm good. How are you? -I'm good!
Can we have another glass here?
Could I get a Coke when you get a minute? Thanks.
Did you see who's playing this evening, my friend?
I didn't.
Curious?
Not in the slightest.
I don't think he's gotten over you.
Yeah, but…I've gotten over him.
So true.
Oh my God, are you still in town? I haven't seen you in forever.
Still here. I just don't go out that much anymore.
Lisa is doing Vätternrundan.
-Wow! -Oh yeah?
-And she's buying a house. -Well, if we can afford it.
Well, it's come down to you and just one other couple.
Oh really?
What's Vätternrundan?
Nothing compared to another round!
Cheers, girls!
To us!
Hold on a minute, he said that?
Crazy! I was about to call the cops!
One sec. I'll be right back.
-Hey, honey. -Hey.
Listen, I just wanted to call
and tell you that…
I think I'm gonna have to work a little bit late tonight.
We're a bit short-staffed.
-Check this out. -Damn, is that guy for real?
You having fun?
No.
It's just Farnaz, she spotted…
Well, she spotted some guy running around the neighborhood in his underwear.
-You still there? -Well, I'll see you at home all right?
Yeah, okay. Let me know if you need a ride later.
I think I'm gonna leave soon.
-I'm kinda tired. -Okay.
-I love you. See ya. -Love you.
What's up?
-Hi! -Hi!
I'm so happy to see you.
-Same here. -Wait, leaving so soon?
-Actually, yes. -You can't.
-Stay! No, stay! Just a little while. -No? Okay.
-A little while! -All right.
-You don't have to do this, huh? -No, it tastes better.
-Better than what? Better than what? -Damn!
One shot for all our past sins.
-One for you. -Help yourselves! Help yourselves.
-Lisa? Yeah? -No, I'm good. I'm good.
Hands out.
-Tequila! Whoo! -Hands out. Hands out.
Oh! Whoever makes a sour face first does the Vätternrundan with Lisa!
No way.
You're doing Vättern?
Yeah, that's the idea.
Great! Sexy.
-Sexy? Okay. -Sexy.
Vättern, Vättern, Vättern…
Are you ready?
And go!
You know it's 310 kilometers, right?
Oh!
Calle.
Calle is doing Vättern
-Calle is doing Vättern -You know, I really didn't mean to!
Calle is doing Vättern
Eloise
Are we more than just good friends?
So show me what you feel
And go with what the feelings tell you
Eloise
The winds can change direction
You're the only one for me
Our love is worth much more than this
Eloise
It all started when my grandfather gave me his old bike.
He said if I did Vätternrundan, I could have his bicycle.
-And it just took off from there. -Sounds wonderful.
I've had the opportunity to cycle around Vättern 58 times,
and it's an incredibly beautiful lake.
The whole landscape is wonderful.
For 310 kilometers, you get to enjoy Sweden at its best.
What's your goal for next year? What time are you aiming for?
Well, uh, the time's not important to me. I do it because I enjoy it.
That's what those speed freaks seem to sometimes forget,
you have to enjoy yourself.
-Hello, darling! -Hi!
Competing against one another, where is the fun in that?
Whose bike is that?
It's yours.
Uh, it's got a carbon frame,
electric gears, disc brakes, and a lot more stuff too.
How much was it?
Fifty.
-Thousand? -Yeah.
Come on. You're joking.
They even knocked off ten 'cause it's last year's model.
And I got you a helmet, and shoes, and clothes.
-It's all in the car-- -But Daniel.
Oh yeah, we're gonna need a training schedule as well.
Uh, we're gonna need both quantity and quality, so--
-Hang on. Wait a minute, we… -Huh?
We've talked about this already.
Yeah, but all this is gonna make it even more fun.
-Oh. Okay. -The next step is the training schedule.
-We can do that together. -Hmm.
If you hang on for two seconds,
I'm just gonna go get some stuff out of the car, okay?
-Hey! -Did you see the text?
-What text? -The text saying we got the house.
-What? Really? -Yeah!
It's amazing!
We sign on Thursday. We're getting a house, honey!
Hello? Lisa?
-Hey! Can you hear me? -Are you there?
-Hey! Are you all right? -Hello?
The knee looks good, the wrist looks good,
but you have two broken ribs on your right side.
Okay, but what does that even mean?
-Hi, honey. -Hey.
Hey.
-How are you doing? -Hi. I'm Farnaz.
Hi.
It's gonna take about six weeks to completely heal.
If you take it easy.
But I'm doing Vätternrundan. I'm still training for it.
Lisa, uh…
-I don't think, um… -I would strongly advise against it.
You need as much rest as possible.
I saw the race runs through Gränna. That's such a pretty town.
-Stay closer to me! -What?
You have to stay closer to me!
But then… then I'll run into you.
Not if you ride right behind me,
'cause I'll be able to break the wind for you.
And then it goes through Hjo.
I love Hjo.
Oh, you know, there's a very difficult incline just after Hjo.
So we'll have to add strength training to your schedule.
Aren't we supposed to be training together?
Yeah, but you're gonna have to do more on your own to catch up.
-There's an incline up ahead. -What?
There's an incline up ahead!
Switch to a lower gear and then you… you should stand up.
-No! -Lower gear and then stand up.
No…
You have to stand up to give yourself more power.
What? Stop it!
There, like him. See that? It'll be easier if you do what I say.
No, it'll be easier if you go by yourself!
Klara, come on. I'm trying to help you.
-Up and then push down. -Will you please stop stressing me out?
The pace we were at wasn't all that stressful, actually.
It felt a lot better toward the end. Don't you think?
We kept a pretty good pace the whole way, and-- Okay.
We can do it next year instead.
Then we can do it together.
I spoke to Mom.
If we want to…
And I'm saying "if."
If we want to get married in Dalarna,
then we should really think about booking a church.
Okay.Mm-hm.
I was thinking that…
we could go there on the Vätternrundan weekend.
And do something fun instead.
Is that where you got married before?
No.
No, that was in Skåne.
Why'd you get divorced?
Did it have to do with that girl Catrine?
No, we…
We were just so young.
But, hey…
They've opened up a spa there too.
We could have a romantic weekend, just the two of us.
Okay.
Congratulations! You excited?
Definitely.
Yes, there.
Hm?
It's my mom.
She's a little…
-I have to… -Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course.
Hi, Mom.
So, listen, Calle asked me for your number.
-He signed up to do the race with you. -You gotta be kidding.
-What-- -He lost the bet, didn't he?
God, he's totally certifiable.
You don't have to sleep with him, you know.
Well, that's good, considering that I'm engaged.
What's good considering that you're engaged?
That it's possible to add on an extra room.
You know, in case the stork shows up.
Hmm.
Hello!
-Hi, honey. -What's going on here?
-I thought you might be hungry. -Oh!
-Mmm. Hi. -Thank you.
Want some wine?
-Uh, yes, please. -Mmm.
-Where's Vera? -She's actually asleep.
I see.
What do we have here?
It's a cold feta-cheese soup with sautéed shallots in red wine.
Here you go.
Then we have a lightly-grilled elk tartare with pickled horseradish.
Mmm! That sounds fantastic.
And for dessert, we have…
Banana split?
Uh, it's a chocolate fondant on raspberry compote.
Hm. All right, that's okay too.
And would this incredible dinner that you cooked here
happen to be a part of the famous training schedule?
It's actually, um…
more like a way for me to tell you I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Yes, you brought five suitcases to the maternity ward.
Five suitcases!
-I think it was seven, actually. -Yeah.
-And the baby carrier. -What was even in the suitcases?
Mm.
I can't remember. Protein bars and…
-Yeah! You brought running shoes. -Running shoes, obviously.
Who brings running shoes to the maternity ward?
Honestly, only crazy people would do that.
I know. I thought if you were sleeping… Ow! That's hot!
So you would've gone running if I was sleeping?
It wouldn't have made any difference.
I mean, people say things like "we'll do it together" and so on.
But I doubt you'd have noticed if I wasn't there.
-Not true, I would have. -Oof! Ow!
Well, you were really helpful.
Do you remember the heart monitor? Completely useless.
Just a flat line, that's it.
They were like, "If there was a potential we could lose connection, it's all right."
"Well, in that case, let's just hope that she's alive then."
That's all. That's just great.
-Hmm… -Ooh.
-No, honey, no, no, no. -What?
-What do you mean "no"? -No, but…
Okay, we need to eat this before it cools down.
That's the whole point, right?
But can't I decide for myself what I want for dessert?
-Huh? -Well, first…
First things first, okay?
Hm?
-I… -Okay!
Okay?
Okay!
Um…
Look, let's forget about…
Sorry.
Forget what I said. We don't need to…
-It's not important. -What?
-No, I mean, we could-- -No, let's have dessert now.
-Are you sure? -Of course. I'm sure it'll be wonderful.
Honey…
Hey, Farnaz.
Yeah, I'm just leaving, so I'll be there soon.
Yeah. See you then. Bye.
She seems nice.
-Farnaz? -Mm-hm.
Yeah. Uh, she's fine. Stable.
So, hey.
What do you wanna do about tonight? Should I bring home some Thai food?
I AM ON IT!!! YOUR FAVOURITE DJ
-Uh, yeah, that sounds good. -Great. Okay.
Well, I'm taking off.
-Uh-huh. -See you later.
-'Kay. See ya. -Bye.
Do I not get a minute to respond?
Pre-owned but pretty nice, don't you think?
Is that on your Tinder profile?
Listen, I'm actually out of the race.
-What? Why? -Because I…
Well, I crashed into a car.
Uh, because you were thinking of me?
I broke two ribs for your information.
-I wanted to go to spin class with you. -Did you even hear what I said?
Yeah, I heard what you said. You don't pedal with your ribs, do you?
There's a spin class at my gym that I think you'd love.
The doctor said I need to take it slow.
You can't listen to doctors!
Who should I listen to then? You?
You did before.
Yeah, but how'd that go?
Listen, you can't drag me into this and then drop out.
I haven't dragged you into a single thing.
I went all in. I bought a bike and everything.
You know what? I'll send you a link to the class.
-Uh… -Okay, bye. Kiss, kiss.
I was thinking now that Lisa's not coming…
-Hm? -We could actually stay with my dad.
Uh, yeah, sure.
Only if you think that's okay.
-You know. -Yeah, absolutely.
-Mm. -Why are you asking? I suggested it.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
And I thought he could also babysit Vera too.
-That would solve that problem. -I don't think so.
Why not? I don't understand--
Because he's 85, and whenever he goes to the mall, he forgets to put his shoes on.
That happened once! He's ex-military. He can handle it.
Never.
All right. Okay.
So…
-You want to go and visit grandpa? Yeah? -Grandpa!
Lisa!
-Hey! -Do you work out here?
No. Well, I am today.
-Hi. -Hey. That accident must have been scary.
-How are you doing? -No, I'm all right.
I… I'm getting better.
Elvira told me you got the house. That's fantastic!
-Yeah. -Getting married, buying a house! Wow!
Don't forget to get a dog while you're at it.
No.
-I knew you wouldn't let me down! Hey! -Hey! Ow! Be careful.
-Oop! Sorry! -Don't worry.
It can wait. We'll kiss later.
-Hey! Calle. -Hi. Caesar.
So, Caesar is my ex.
Oh! That's cool! We should all grab a beer some time soon.
-Yeah! Absolutely. -Yeah?
Well, we should…
-Oh right. I'll see you later. -Yeah.
-Mmm. -Yeah. Hey.
-Okay? -Yes. Let's see.
I feel like an old lady.
What the hell?
A 90-year-old with hemorrhoids.
Well, I don't get those vibes at all.
At all?
Uh-uh.
Mm-mm.
What's he do? Your guy.
-Fiancé. -Ah! You thought I didn't see that?
Police officer.
-Oh! Mm-hm! -Mmm.
And you? Are you free as a bird?
No, I'm seeing someone currently.
I haven't put a ring on her, but… it's been eight months.
Wow! Gotta be a record.
Pretty much.
Mm! Okay, I have a question for you.
Don't have to answer if you don't want to, but I'd appreciate if you did.
What do you wanna know?
Do you ever use his police gear when you have sex?
-Do you think I would tell you if we did? -I don't think you have.
-I'm not gonna tell you. -How about the Taser?
Could I get another one?
Okay.
So when is the wedding?
-This fall. -Good!
So I'll put "this fall" in my calendar then.
You're not invited.
Do I look like a guy who needs an invite?
No, you look like a guy who's never been to a wedding before.
-I love weddings! -You do?
Other people's.
-Thanks, bro. -You're welcome. Can I take this?
-No, you can leave it. Mm. -You got it.
Are we doing this thing or what?
Huh? If it hurts too much, we'll stop.
-I don't know. -Come on, Lisa.
I'm going to Ibiza with Cassie, so you could make me a training program.
-Cassie? Really? -Mm.
-Is she a porn star? -I don't know. We don't talk shop.
I have to work a bit too, so I don't know when I'll be back.
Sounds like something you'd say.
Come on.
Perfect! It's gonna be awesome!
Okay, my love. Time to go to sleep.
What do you think about this wallpaper?
It's very nice.
But, um…
You might want to wait to make plans until you're positive it's gonna happen.
But we bought the house already.
I just don't want you to be disappointed, darling.
Things can change quickly.
You know how your mom can be.
What do you mean, "How Mom can be"?
Why can't you just trust her?
She doesn't do crazy stuff anymore.
Okay.
Sleep tight.
I've decided I'm going to do the race anyway.
What?
I don't want to let myself fall back into the old Lisa trap
and give up without at least a fight.
But…
The doctor was very clear.
You should take it easy.
Yes, and I will take it easy.
I don't pedal with my ribs.
Okay.
What about Dalarna, then?
We can do that after the race.
Uh…
SOOO PUMPED!!!
Wait!
-Gotcha! -Hey!
Lisa?
Hello?
NEED TO KEEP TABS ON THE LIQUID INTAKE!
GOOD WORKOUT THIS MORNING HOW'S TRAINING HOTTIE?
BETTER AND BETTER
YOU ARE SO DAMN HOT!!
What is it?
Did something happen?
You're riding with Daniel and Klara, is that right?
Yeah.
Just them?
Want to check your messages?
You know, it could be…
Calle.
Have you been spying on me?
-Oh, is that the problem here? -Yes, actually.
You really think that's the problem? Not that you're flirting with your ex?
-"Flirting with my ex?" He's not my ex. -What is he, then?
Just some old fuck buddy?
I'm giving him training tips because he's doing Vättern.
What's the problem?
-Training tips? Okay. -Yes!
What are you doing? Put my phone back.
Well, what do you know? It's him.
"See you at the start, baby."
"It's gonna be awesome doing this with you."
And three kissing emojis.
-You have no fucking right. -Oh, I don't, huh?
No, you have no fucking right!
At first, you weren't going to race. You cancelled.
And then we booked a trip to Dalarna.
And out of nowhere, you suddenly announce you're doing the race again.
And you tell me it's because you're falling into the same "old Lisa trap."
But I think you've already fallen into that fucking trap.
And you're never gonna find your way out.
For God's sake, we're getting married!
We bought a house together! What more do you want?
I don't want anything from you.
For all I care, you can start drinking again.
Have a few drinks and sleep around.
Turn back into that park bench drunk I arrested three years ago.
Go ahead.
Alice is taking the train after school,
so we can pick her up in Motala this afternoon.
You're too close. You're not out cycling right now, honey.
Did you hear what I just said?
Yeah.
We're meeting up with the babysitter this afternoon at the train station.
-And what's her name? -Motala.
-Alice. Yeah. -Alice in Motala. Right.
Want some?
No, I'm good.
Okay.
Are you okay?
I said I'm good.
Hm.
Well, Dad was really happy to hear it when I told him you were coming.
Said he was looking forward to it.
Wonderful.
-Is he not home? -He's supposed to be.
Well, maybe he died.
Stop it, Lisa.
There he is.
-Hey! Hey, Dad. -Hi!
-Hi, Gunnar. -So good to see all of you!
-Hi, Grandpa! -Hello, my little one. So precious.
-Whoa! -Oh! Be careful!
-Are you okay? -I'm fine. Well, come on in.
I have coffee and cookies if you would like.
Yes, perfect.
Daniel, why don't you take care of the bags,
and Klara can help me in the kitchen.
-Absolutely. -I just need to take Vera to the bathroom.
-What can I do? -What?
Anything I can do?
Uh…
Well, you could, uh…
Um, can you maybe help me with the bags?
I just have to take care of this first.
Yes, that sounds good.
Makes you kinda envious, right? Riding with that gang.
-Do we need to leave soon? -We can hang out for a while.
How are you, anyway? You seem a little depressed.
It's over with Anders.
-Are you joking? -No.
-What for? -I don't know. Ask him.
I mean, you just got engaged. You bought a house and stuff.
Yes, I know. It was a horrible mistake.
-Daniel? -Yeah, that's me.
-So what happened? -We had a fight. I don't know.
-Klara? -It's stupid.
Yeah, that's my wife.
If it's just a fight, then can't you talk it over, work it out?
-I don't want to talk about it. Thanks. -Lisa?
-I'm gonna buy some bars. -Okay.
So, all set.
Yeah, all good. She fell asleep.
Oh no!
It's Alice.
Hi, Alice! Are you here already?
What? Hold on, I can't hear what you're saying.
Oh my God, I am so sorry. Yeah.
No, I understand. Don't even worry about it.
We'll figure something else out.
Yeah.
-What? -Of course!
Yeah.
Take care, okay? We'll be in touch.
Okay, bye.
What happened? Did someone die?
Her girlfriend just broke up with her.
Yeah? Okay, so…
She's not coming.
-She's not coming? What? -No.
-Are you kidding me? -Why is this so hard for you to grasp?
-Her girlfriend broke up with her. -Okay. Right.
Well, we… We'll just have to skip this, that's all.
-We're not skipping this! -Yes!
-Not on your life! -What are we going to do with Vera?
Who's going to watch her?
-Well, like I said, my dad can babysit. -We had this discussion about your dad.
-He was a regimental commander. -Yeah?
-Yeah! -Thirty years ago!
Okay. I know he can do it.
I know he can do it! He will manage.
You know what? We'll do this.
Go by yourself and I'll stay with Vera.
-Klara, come on-- -It's okay!
-No. No! -It's not a big deal.
It's not okay, Klara, come on.
Let's download every episode of Dora the Explorer, and Peppa Pig,
and Frozen, My Little Pony, whatever other movie.
All right? She won't even realize we're gone.
Here with me, I have Birger "Flamman" Larsson.
And you will soon begin your 59th Vätternrundan race.
Everyone should do this at least once in their lifetime.
Cycling around the beautiful Vättern is like…
Hello there! Hi!
Cycling around the beautiful Vättern works miracles for the soul.
Well listen, let's all give a really big hand for Birger!
Looking strong, Danne!
Oh! Thanks! You as well.
Ha!
Okay.
Uh, go ahead.
You first.
We should do it.
You're right, he can manage.
It's… It's just for one day.
Mm. Okay.
Unless…
you've changed your mind and you want to go with the guys instead?
No! Of course not.
We're doing this.
It's…
-Okay. -Yeah.
Remember, this was your idea. I'm not going to force you.
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it was the therapist's idea, but…
I want to ride with you.
100%.
Let's do it together. Sound good?
Hi, Calle.
I don't know if you got my text,
but call me and we'll figure out where and when to meet up for the race.
-Okay. -Okay.
-Should we get out of here? -Yes.
-I'm really tired. -Yes. My sister's really tired.
-So we have to go. -We have to. Mm-hm.
I'll call Dad.
First out are veterans who have participated
in the race 25 times or more.
I sure hope you've taken care of all of your business,
because it's time to start the race!
That's a pretty cheetah.
-It's a leopard. -Oh!
-A leopard? -Yep, a leopard.
Where's Lisa?
Uh, she, uh…
-She went to bed, Dad. -Ah.
-She was tired. -For you.
-What's your start time? -Uh…
At 5:50 tomorrow morning.
But some of them are starting tonight, right?
-That's right. -Oh, and a cup for me, please.
-Here. -Thanks.
They'll be starting all night.
What's wrong with it?
Nothing, it's tea.
-You like it. -I thought you said that--
No, "They'll be starting all night," he said.
-"All night," not "all right." -Oh, I see. Okay.
The ones who are really fast start tomorrow at lunchtime.
And the original plan was that I would be one of them--
So, Gunnar, it turns out our babysitter isn't able to come.
-Is that so? -Yes, it's too bad.
We were wondering though
if you could possibly watch Vera tomorrow when Daniel and I do the race?
Of course.
-Could you? -Oh, yes.
That's so nice. Thanks. Perfect.
So you and I get to spend the whole day together?
We'll load her tablet up with all her favorite TV shows and movies.
-So you'll have things to watch. -Exactly.
And Daniel will set an alarm on your phone that will ring every other hour.
So it'll remind you to ask her
if she needs to go the bathroom and stuff like that.
And she eats at 7:00 a.m., 12:00 noon, 3:00 p.m., and 5:00 p.m.
And maybe a snack in between if she needs one.
And her food is in containers in your fridge.
-With all the times written on the lids. -Okay?
You would have made an exceptional soldier, Daniel.
-Thank you. -Yes.
You know who you remind me of when you creep around at night?
You don't want to end up like your mother.
Yeah, but Mom was depressed.
Yes.
That too.
There's crispbread.
And I bought some strawberry jam for you.
I'm gonna make you one.
Ah. Yes.
Call and talk to her.
I can't take back some of the things that I said.
Like what?
Something like she was an old park bench drunk who could go to hell.
You know? That sort of thing.
The only thing I wanted after my ex and I told each to go to hell
was for him to come back
and fight for what we had.
-Well, did he do it? -No.
-But…
Okay.
Do you love her?
Yeah, I…
I guess so.
Then there's just one thing left to do.
What is that?
We go to her.
-"We go to her"? -Mm-hm.
You have to pick the battles that are worth fighting for in this life.
And love
is definitely one of those things.
It's… What… What are you doing?
Getting us in as backup for Vätternrundan.
I don't think that's quite how it works.
Someone's bound to call in sick.
Let me fix this.
What? What's wrong?
-Nothing. -Okay then.
I'm just enjoying the sight of my beautiful wife,
in Lycra at dawn, ready to begin an adventure.
And does that turn you on?
-It does, actually. -Oh!
Excuse me.
Hey.
-Is it okay to hug you? -Sure.
-I tried to get a hold of you. What, uh-- -I had no signal.
I didn't want to wake you. I missed my flight.
-Oh okay. -But I'm here now.
Okay. Uh…
This is my brother, Daniel, and his wife, Klara.
-Hey! Hi! Give me a hug. -Right. Uh, okay. Yeah.
Bro! After 320K, we might hate each other.
-Hi. Klara. -Calle.
So you're starting now as well?
-Mm! I'm cycling with her. -I see!
-That's great. Great. -Okay. Let's get ready, hmm?
Damn! Water bottle. Here.
Can you hold my bike? And this as well?
-What are you doing? -Thanks, bro.
You've gotta be kidding me.
-Seriously? Calle? Cocaine Calle? -Drop it, would you?
Is that why you broke up with Anders?
So you and that fucking clown could start messing around again?
Wait, what? You broke up with Anders?
-Can you take my picture? -What happened, Lisa?
-Get the bike in the shot too. -I can't believe it.
-Oh. Um-- -Turn it upright.
Is he coming back?
-Let's hope. -Here.
-Water. Helmet. -Perfect. There you go.
You've got everything.
Three, two, one…
Off you go!
Yee-haw!
-Coming through! -Come on.
Oh my goodness.
Whoo-hoo!
-Ah! -What are you, 12 years old?
-Huh? -Aw, come on, leave her alone, Daniel.
Take it easy. You don't want to fall again.
I think your dad's trying to tell you something.
-What are you doing? -Nothing.
Well, I'm sorry.
-I just wanted to live a little, okay? -I want to live too.
So why don't you keep your hands on the handlebars, please?
Whoo-hoo!
Are we eating soon?
We're stopping to eat in Jönköping.
It's protein bars until then.
All right. See you in Jönköping.
Hey, what…
-Goodness. -Come on!
Jeez…
-Speaking of being 12 years old. -No kidding!
He's an ex-boyfriend, right?
Nah. Just a friend.
Okay.
So what's going on, Lisa?
Ask Anders. I couldn't tell you.
You know, you won't find anyone better than him.
Anders, I mean.
Thanks a lot.
I promise you she's sitting on the side of the road somewhere crying.
"What have I done?"
"Anders, come back. I'm so sorry."
I really don't think that's true.
In a way, I kind of understand her.
Yeah?
How so?
Well, sometimes things seem too good to be true.
You can chase one thing your whole life,
and then when you finally get it,
is it something you're truly ready for?
Do you think you're worth it?
For real?
It looks like she's somewhere around here.
Perfect. You can guide me.
You got a protein bar?
Idiot.
I'm getting hungry.
Hey!
-Are you slowing us down? Bro! -What? No, I'm just finishing up.
-Want to go for a dip? -Oh. I could do with a break.
You can't go swim in the middle of a race.
Well, why not?
Because we're not on vacation!
Seriously?
Coming or what?
What the hell. Just for five minutes, Daniel.
What? No, I just finished this.
Let's keep cycling.
Damn ribs.
-Come on! -Let's do it! It's not a big deal!
It's just a quick dip. It'll be refreshing.
You know what? You need to decide if you'd rather cycle with them.
Then you can do as you please. Go to a carnival if you want.
Or else you can choose to cycle with me like we planned from the start.
Ha-ha!
-Is it nice? -Fine!
Okay, absolutely. Let's do that, Daniel. We're gonna do what you want.
It'll be great! And really fun, too! And cozy!
-Just like you promised, right? Yep! -God.
-Are you coming then or not? -Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ha-ha!
It's so damn nice!
Hey, our clothes.
-What? -Our clothes.
-No, he can totally see them. -Hello?
-Hey, come on. -Hello?
Hey!
-Fuck! -Whoo!
We're in Gränna now.
We could stop for a while if you want to check it out.
What?
Yeah, we're making pretty good time right now.
-Okay. -Want to?
-Yeah. Okay, sounds good. -Yeah? Okay.
Here, we can park over here.
A TRADITION SINCE 1859 OLD-FASHIONED CANDY!
-Good job. -Yeah.
You're looking really strong out there, you know.
-Thanks. -Yeah.
Fucking summer workers!
Ah.
Look.
You think we should do it?
Mm-hm. Kinda.
Stop, damn it!
Stop!
-Hey, you! -Hello!
-You bastards! -Come on!
-You'll get them back, I promise! -Stop, damn it!
-Thank you! -Stop right now!
Whoo-hoo!
So awesome.
Hey, honey. Look.
We should buy one of these for Vera.
Oh, Daniel!
-Oh my gosh! Are you okay? -Ow!
God…
-Sorry! -How are you? Are you okay?
-Yeah, well, I think so. -Don't worry. I've got this.
-Sorry about that. -Sorry for laughing!
You looked so damn funny! Are you okay?
-Excuse me. -Yeah, that one's on me.
These things happen.
-My phone's ringing. -I'm gonna go get a broom.
Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.
-Thank you. -Hi, Dad.
-Hello? -I hear you. I hear you, Dad.
Is everything okay?
We're on our way to Tiveden.
What?
Well, we can't just sit around indoors all day long.
No, you were gonna watch shows together and take it easy.
That's what you're supposed to be doing.
How nice!
Will you pass through there?
Dad, listen to me now.
-You're not leaving the house. -What?
See you in a bit. Ride carefully.
No, you're not going anywhere.
Dad, you need to stay at home! You just--
-Dad! Oh, for God's sake. -What's going on?
They're leaving. They're driving to Tiveden.
-They're driving to Tiveden? -Yes!
-But what for? -I don't know! I have no idea.
-For God's sakes, Daniel! -What? It's not my fault!
I don't care! Call before they leave!
That's what I'm doing.
-At least I'm trying to. -Yeah! Okay!
I knew your father was gonna pull something like this.
Great. You predicted it. Wonderful.
-Yes, exactly this! -He's not answering.
Is his car safe? Does he even have a child seat?
Does my father have a child seat? Of course he doesn't have a child seat!
He doesn't have TikTok either. He's 800 years old.
-Fucking unbelievable! -Ahh, damn it!
Damn it! These shoes are so slippery!
Thanks so much. Sorry.
-Where are you going? -Tiveden!
No, wait! Hang on!
No!
Ugh.
Damn it! No!
Jeez.
Nobody saw that.
Sorry for everything!
And now it's finally time for our subgroups.
They are the teams aiming to complete the race
in less than seven, eight, or nine hours.
Good luck, everyone!
Is that you, Gunnar?
Hi!
-Hey. -It's been a while, hasn't it?
Yes.
Long time no see.
-Is that your grandchild with you? -Here you go.
Yes, this is little Vera.
Hello, Vera.
Do you know what I saw in the woods yesterday?
-No! -Blueberries.
-Oh! -They're early this year.
Oh, sure, sure.
I'm waiting for the chanterelles, myself.
We should go for a walk in the woods together some day soon.
What do you think?
Uh, sure.
That would be wonderful.
It's always nicer with company.
Yes, it is.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, I have to get going.
-But I'll be seeing you. Take care. -See you. See you later.
My, my…
Vera?
Oh, damn it.
Vera?
Have you seen Vera?
She just left with her papa.
-What? -She just left with her papa!
-There! -Stop!
Stop! I said stop right now!
I'm having ice cream.
Grandpa got it for me.
Honey, take it easy. Remember how far it is.
-You gotta pace yourself, huh? -Keep right!
Coming through! Keep right!
-Keep to the right, honey. -Get out of the way!
-Get off the road! -Learn the rules!
-Sorry about that! Yeah! Sorry, guys! -Asshole!
Ahh! Ow, ow, ow.
Oh, cramp! Ow! Ow, ow, ow!
-We have to keep going! -No, we can't keep going.
-Yes! We have to find Vera! Ow! -You can't cycle with a cramp.
-Ow! -Come on! See?
Look, they have a massage tent right here. It'll be perfect. Come on.
-That hurt. -Yeah, I know. We'll fix it.
-I'm starting to panic! Ow! -No need to panic. Yeah.
Do you think something happened?
Of course not. Nothing's happened.
Could you call him again?
We're almost there.
-Could you? Please? Thank you. -Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll call.
My husband's elderly dad is looking after our daughter.
It was kind of an emergency solution, you might say.
Someone I know left her daughter with an acquaintance.
And she had the idea that they should go for a swim.
Oh yeah?
Still not picking up.
The problem was that the girl didn't know how to swim.
-So it wasn't the world's smartest idea. -No.
So what happened?
She drowned, of course.
And the funny thing was that my friend had the same feeling that you're having now.
She sensed that something had happened.
You have to trust your intuition, you know.
Thanks. I've had enough massage.
But…
There's no reason to worry.
-What do you mean "no reason"? -It's just…
I mean, we don't know that anything has happened.
That is precisely why people get worried.
Because they don't know if something has happened.
Not knowing is the worst.
Thank you, Ms. Gloom-and-Doom. We've heard enough.
-Some of them are a bit sandy, but good. -No, I'm fine.
-You sure? They're really good. -It's fine.
Well! What's up, bro?
What the hell happened to you? You two raid a flea market or what?
-Knock it off, Daniel. -Hey, I'm going over there for a massage.
-Have one. -No, I'm good.
Come on! They're blueberries.
Super sweet.
Mmm!
So, really? You broke up with Anders for this guy?
Anders broke up with me, or did you forget that part?
What the hell is with you? Is the old party Lisa making a comeback?
-What is this all about? -Daniel!
Ugh.
Hey!
You always do this.
Soon as something good happens in your life, you screw it up somehow!
-We have to go now! -Be right there.
Grow up, already.
Find out what's important in your life and fight for it.
Look who's talking.
-Oh, I fight like hell! Oh yeah! -Do you?
-Yeah, it's obvious. -Daniel!
Okay.
It's a shame you're taken.
Why don't you quit it?
What?
You have a girlfriend.
It's over.
-I'm single. -Oh?
Mm-hm.
-Sorry to hear. -Mmm.
Are you okay?
Well, let's see.
I'm lying here and I'm next to you…
getting a massage.
I don't think life could get much better.
I've missed you, Lisa.
Really.
Here.
Thanks.
-I really think you should call her. -No.
Never.
But, Anders, she got her heart broken.
She's not acting rationally.
-You threw away the ring. -I know.
-She thinks that you threw her away too. -What the…
You should call her now. Do it. Call her.
-You think so? -Yes, do it now.
Call her.
Okay.
I'm not the first one in here.
Ugh. This is disgusting.
There's no paper.
Mm?
Lisa, we…
Can we talk?
Of course we can talk, Mr. Policeman.
Listen, could I speak to Lisa?
She's a little busy.
Okay.
So gross!
-Your guy called. -What?
-Here. -What, and you answered it?
Guy's got no sense of humor.
-Let's go. -You've gotta be kidding.
No.
That's the last time I listen to you. The last time. Got it?
Lisa!
-Are we doing this or not? -Yep. Coming.
God bless you!
Hallelujah! Welcome to Tiveden.
They should be here somewhere.
Hallelujah!
-God's strength on your journey! -No, thank you.
-Hallelujah. -Hallelujah!
This is Tiveden.
-So where are they? -I don't know.
-We could've beat them, I guess. -I doubt that.
-But-- -I'll call. I'll call.
I'll call now.
Wait, where's my…
I can't find it.
-You can't find what? -My cell phone! I must've dropped it.
Ugh. You gotta be kidding.
Of course I did.
-Kidding me. -That's weird.
-My phone's almost dead. -No, that's not weird.
The way you've been filming everything.
-What the hell did I do with it? -Ugh.
Ugh. Damn it.
Hi, Klara.
Hi, Gunnar. Hi. Thank goodness you answered.
We've been a bit worried.
-Is everything okay? -Oh, yes.
-Everything is under control. -That's wonderful!
We're here at Tiveden, but we can't find you.
Could you tell us where you are?
We couldn't get there because of the bike traffic.
I was thinking maybe it's best if we meet up at the finishing line.
Great. It died.
Hello?
What the hell are you doing?
-I'm calling the police. -No, no.
Don't call the police, please. I'm sorry. I mistook you for someone else.
-What the hell's the matter with you? -I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
-This phone! -What's the matter?
He didn't expect all the bike traffic, for some unknown reason.
They're waiting for us at the finishing line.
Well, that's great! Let's go see them.
I think I need to eat something before we go on.
-Okay. -Do you think they have food up ahead?
-Let's have one of these and keep going. -I don't want any more of that space food!
I need something real to eat! I need real food!
Uh, okay.
What do you want, a banquet?
Fuck! I can't do this.
I can't do this anymore.
Ahh!
I should have listened to that damn doctor.
Check it out.
There's a rave or something going on!
Do you want to go?
They're sure to have painkillers there.
You… Hey, come on, let's check it out! Just for a little while, huh?
What are you waiting for?
Come on!
This is awesome!
Come on.
Whoo-hoo!
We're just too different, I suppose.
I just haven't…
wanted to see it, I guess.
We've gotten some reports of an unauthorized rave party
happening in the forest outside of Hjo.
Do we have any units available to go check it out?
Want to take it?
Sure.
79-40, on our way. Over.
Oh, my neck!
My butt. I feel like I'm on fire.
Come on now, Klara. Fight.
I'm so fucking tired of this shit.
-Ugh! -Only 80K left! Come on!
-"Only 80K." Are you kidding me? -We can do this!
Let's go! What are you doing!
Quit shouting at me!
-Okay? -You don't need to stop to drink water!
-Can we please-- -Can you just shut up?
Why can't you ever let me do anything my own way?
-Why don't you shut up and start cycling? -Huh!
It was your idea to do this race, Daniel. Not mine!
No, it wasn't! It was that damn therapist's stupid idea!
Maybe we should have bought a house instead.
That would have been more fun.
Move out to the sticks and fix up a hovel? Sounds like so much fun!
How stupid of me. If we did that, we'd have to speak to each other a bit!
-So we better not. -Oh my God.
-Do you know what I think you should do? -No.
I think you should climb a mountain instead!
Then you can call me when you come down. Or don't!
That's great, because I would rather climb a fucking mountain
than spend one more minute with you!
No problem. Sure. Fine, you're free of that burden.
-Great. Thanks. -It is great!
It's great that I won't have to keep trying to communicate with someone
who's completely fucking dead inside!
Be very careful, Klara.
Do you have any idea…
Do you have any idea when I miss you the most, Daniel? Do you?
-Do you? -No, I have no idea.
So when is it?
It's when you're at home.
I chose to give this race up, you know? For your sake. For our sake.
-Do you not-- -Is that really how you feel?
That you gave the race up?
Oh, for God's sake.
-This is so crazy! -Daniel, do you even hear how you sound?
Everything that isn't about you and your needs
is a sacrifice in your world.
You know what? You were right.
Totally right. We obviously should get a divorce!
Okay.
Best idea you've ever had! Ever!
-Best thing I've ever heard you say! -Okay!
Great! Then piss off!
-Do what you've always done! Just leave! -I'm going!
It'll be such a relief to not have to wake up disappointed tomorrow morning!
Well, that was divorce number 29 today.
What do you think? Is that number 30 coming up the hill?
You got this! Keep going!
Excuse me.
-Excuse me. -Oh. Hey, there.
Have you seen a little blonde girl running around here alone?
-No. How old is she? -She's three years old.
-I lost her when we were here earlier. -Oh, no.
-How long ago was that? -Well, it was a while ago.
-Maybe about an hour or so. -Have you talked to the police?
-No. I haven't yet. -Okay. I'll help you with that.
Hi, there. This is Hagge. I'm on the Vätternrundan crew.
Don't tell your guy!
No, that's okay. I'm good.
You sure?
Yeah, I'm good. Thanks.
Eh? Eh?
Here goes! Liftoff!
Lisa?
Lisa!
Hey!
What brings you here?
Uh, we're doing…
Uh, we were doing Vätternrundan.
My prolapse would never allow me to do that.
This is Feffe.
-Hi. -Hi.
-What do you think? -Damn, that's fine work! Awesome!
-Isn't it fun? -Let's get something too. Something tiny.
-Eh, no, I think I'll pass. -Okay!
Hey! I know. Could I get one with three rabbits?
Like a threesome? Only it'll be with rabbits.
What's with the long face?
You aren't giving up now, are you?
It isn't too far to go from here.
That's what I was told.
No matter how bad you feel now, you'll feel much, much better tomorrow.
That's always the way.
Thank you.
Well, here. Take this.
That'll make you feel better.
I have all the songs in my head, anyway.
Just put it on the bench and I'll pick it up in the car later.
Yes, we must live life
For each other
Make the most of every day we have
-Hi, sweetheart. -Hi, Mom.
I picked the wallpaper now.
You're gonna love it so much.
What's with the loud music?
There's some kind of festival here.
Listen, I… I don't think I can keep going.
I… I'm in so much pain. I have to quit the race.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm okay, but…
I just can't bike any further.
I'm so proud of you anyway.
You're the best mom in the world.
You're a real fighter.
I'll call you later, okay?
Okay! Love you.
I love you so much.
What are you doing here?
Question is what the hell you're doing here?
I saw you.
What?
-Swimming. -I saw you too.
-I tracked you on the race app. -All the way from Stockholm.
Listen, nothing's going on, Anders. Nothing at all.
-He means nothing, I swear. -I have to work. You can search her.
Anders!
-We got-- -Please set aside your bike.
Set aside your bike.
Are you carrying anything sharp?
-No. -Have you taken anything?
No.
Cyclists behind! Keep right!
Well done, Danne!
-Hey, guys! -Danne!
WinIT over there!
WinIT!
-Can I have a bottle? -Ninety seconds!
-Hurry up, keep time! -Thanks, man.
Danne, how are you?
I'm fine. Fine.
Weren't you cycling with Klara?
Well, it's…
She quit or something.
No, we saw her a while ago.
-She was really flying. -Looking good!
-What? -Okay.
-What happened? -Well, we, uh…
We got into it.
This was your project you were gonna do together.
Yeah, but it turns out she hates me, so there is no project.
She doesn't hate you. She rode 300 kilometers for you.
Ten seconds!
Don't fuck things up now, Danne.
-I won't fuck it up. -Come on.
Nice job, gentlemen.
Great job, everyone! Glad to see you!
Over here!
Klara!
Stop…
Hey, can you stop?
Klara!
-Why don't we drop out? -What? No.
I'm okay with it.
-We can quit if you want. -No!
Look, I don't want to…
I don't want to get divorced. I want us to…
to stay a team and keep struggling together.
Even if it feels like an uphill battle, we can do it together.
If you want that.
I don't want to do it without you.
-I'm sorry. -I'm sorry.
No, you don't have to…
Let's keep going.
-I want to keep going. -Sure. Are you sure?
Yeah.
-Let's do it. -Yeah.
-Let's ride. Side-by-side. Okay. -I want to reach the finish line with you.
I love you.
-Okay, let's go before we start cramping. -Okay.
What do you say? A little music?
Two hours to Stockholm.
Anyone got a good playlist?
But where did you find her?
A family found her in the park behind the gas station.
Oh! Here she comes.
Vera!
Grandpa!
Ah, my sweet, little Vera. Oh, honey.
You mustn't run off like that, you hear me?
And here's Team WinIT from Stockholm, cycling across the finish line
in eight hours, 54 minutes, and seven seconds!
Congratulations! Well done!
Careful!
Well done!
Congrats! Good job, darling!
-This is for you. -Oh, thanks.
-Hi. Hi. -A beer.
-Hey, baby, congratulations. -So good to see you.
Thanks.
I feel a little…
I'm not sure…
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
Anders.
I don't know why I screw up everything that's good, but…
that's what I do.
Actually, I do know why.
I was terrified that you were gonna leave me.
So you act like this instead?
I know.
So fucking stupid.
Yes, it is.
I understand if you don't want to forgive me.
But you and Elvira are the best things in my life.
If I can do anything to make this right again, I promise I'll do it.
I'll do anything.
You know what?
I want you to meet my friend.
She is gorgeous, single.
No…
No drama.
Anders! Don't…
How can I ever trust you again?
I don't know.
-Did you have sex? -No.
-No, Anders, I swear we didn't. -Are you drinking again?
No, not a drop.
It's just hard for me to think that someone like you…
could love me as much as I love you.
I chased you halfway around Vättern…
for a reason.
Don't you get that?
I'm not a park bench drunk.
I know.
I'm sorry. I know that.
I shouldn't have pressured you with a house, and…
a damn wedding.
I'm sorry.
I can see him approaching now!
Here he comes! Birger "Flamman" Larsson!
Crossing the finish line in 24 hours, 12 minutes, and 18 seconds!
Congratulations!
And here he is!
-Congratulations, Birger! -Thank you.
How are you feeling? Are you satisfied?
Ah, I'm always satisfied.
Anything in particular you'll take with you from this year's race?
Well, uh…
You might say that life is a little like this race.
Because sometimes it can be a struggle,
and sometimes you go in the ditch,
and sometimes you go astray.
But if you just get back in the saddle and keep pedaling…
…you'll soon be back on course.
A little stronger, and a little wiser.
Maybe with a few scraped knees, but…
you can live with that.
They always heal.
Vera, let's see how strong…
Ah! Thank you.
Thank you.
-Thank you. -Ah!
Vera!
-Hi! Look who's here! -Hi, sweetheart!
-Here we go! Hi! -Vera! Hey, sweetie!
-Everything go okay? -Oh, it was just fine.
-Wonderful. -No problems.
You hear that, Klara? No problems.
-Yes, yes, yes! -All right! Yes!
Maiden, maiden, maiden so dear
Here's the carousel Open until late
It's ten for the grown-ups And five for the kids
Hurry up, hurry up It's just about to start
And ha, ha, ha It's going so quick
For Andersson and Petterson And Lundström and me
And ha, ha, ha It's going so quick
For Andersson and Petterson…
-Huh? What's this? -Hm?
That? Ah…
Just a little something.
-Should I open it? -Yeah.
Go ahead.
-Hmm. -Mmm?
You're joking!
You bought that place?
-Isn't that what you wanted? -But…
Very spontaneous for Daniel Nylander, I must say.
I was thinking that you might… or we might need an old hovel.
Something to renovate.
Plank by plank, nail by nail.
-A toast to our new-- -Oh! Great that it's so close to Vättern.
-We can train for the Vansbro swim race. -Absolutely not. Never doing that.
-Why not? -Come on.
-Because you're chicken of the sea? -Well…
Kind of.
Cheers.
I need to take a break for a few minutes.
The little frogs Are funny to behold
Mom, look!
The little frogs The little frogs are funny to behold
Hey, honey! Who's on the bike?
Looks like a pastor.
I'm not sure.
Kou ack ack ack Kou ack ack ack
What?
It might not be Dalarna with 200 guests, but…
it's me and you.
That's your pastor?
You got us a pastor?
Wow.
What do you say? What?
It's just that I already proposed, so…
I can't back out now.
-Hi. Hi. -Hi.
-Hi, I'm Christina. -Hi. Anders, nice to meet you. Hi.
-Hi. -Are you ready?
-Are we ready? -Yes.
-Yeah?
Well, if I may interrupt the celebration,
and ask you all to come a bit closer.
Gather round.
Dearest Midsummer revelers,
perhaps you're wondering why a pastor has come today.
Yes, I was wondering about that a little, it's true.
You see, we are interjecting with a short wedding ceremony.
-Did you know about this? -A wedding ceremony for Lisa and Anders.
Maybe we should do things in order.
-Ah, should we? Wait. -Yes.
Right.
-Okay. -Are you ready?
-Yes. -We are.
-Dearly beloved. -I love you.
We are gathered here in the eyes of God
to marry Lisa and Anders.
