04x01 - If it ain't broke, why fix it?

[bunniefuu]

I barely made it. Excuse me.

What? No.

No, she doesn't need to...

She can take the bus
or the subway to practice herself.

No, you've done too much already.

- You're so kind.
- Excuse me, can you turn on flight mode?

Yeah, sorry. I have to go now.

We'll talk when I've landed.

Okay? Bye. Bye.

- sh*t.
- Swipe down from the top corner.

Press the little plane.

- There you go.
- Okay.

No way!

- Yes.
- Is it you? Hi!

Yes, it is.

- Hi!
- Long time no see.

- Oh my!
- So nice to see you.

This is so weird.

{\an8}I thought about you when I was...

{\an8}I went to a seminar in Trondheim
and didn't have time to call.

{\an8}- Don't worry...
- You have a mustache!

{\an8}Do I? Oh, my God, you're right!

{\an8}Has that become
a requirement for living there?

{\an8}You can't live in Mustache Town
for two years and not get affected.

{\an8}I'm moving back home.

{\an8}- Oh?
- To Oslo.

{\an8}- Really?
- Yeah.

{\an8}She canceled three days
before the wedding? Why?

{\an8}She didn't want to marry
the surgeon after all,

{\an8}because she fell in love
with an OT from Mosjøen

{\an8}who lives in Oslo
and has a temporary position at St. Olavs.

{\an8}Now, they're all moving to Oslo,

{\an8}including the OT from Mosjøen.

{\an8}This is my last trip to Trondheim.

{\an8}I'm handing over the keys
to the apartment and stuff.

{\an8}Now, I just pray that

{\an8}Mai-Lis won't fall in love with
an orderly who wants to live in Bergen.

{\an8}How awful.

{\an8}How about you?

{\an8}Are you bringing a female municipal worker
from Trondheim back with you?

{\an8}No. To be completely honest,

{\an8}I've just spent this time in Trondheim
trying to get settled.

{\an8}Within myself. So no.

{\an8}- No girlfriend.
- No.

{\an8}I have a great relationship
with my therapist, though.

{\an8}- That's good.
- That's good.

{\an8}Are you and Kenneth...
you're living together?

{\an8}No, and it's actually quite nice
because it's really chill and... Yeah.

{\an8}- He's got 100 kids, right?
- Four.

{\an8}- Right.
- Three are grown up and have left home.

{\an8}- Maia's ten. She does 50-50.
- Right.

{\an8}Are you going back to your
old job with the municipality of Oslo?

{\an8}No. But I've put some feelers out, so...

{\an8}You should work with us.
Apply for Yngvar's job.

{\an8}- Is Yngvar leaving?
- Yeah.

{\an8}- Is he sick?
- No. God, no.

{\an8}He just wants to do something else,
so he bought a motel in Hvasser.

{\an8}That sounds a little insane, but okay.

{\an8}You could say that...

{\an8}We've already agreed
that we need more legal expertise.

{\an8}Right.

{\an8}Wouldn't that be a bit weird?

{\an8}Because of you and me?

{\an8}No. I mean it. You should apply.

{\an8}I don't have
a lot of leadership experience.

{\an8}Neither did Yngvar.

{\an8}I'm just gonna...

{\an8}We're about to land, so you should
sit down and put on your seat belt.

{\an8}Oh. Sorry.

PERNILLE

Are you going to
the Nick Cave concert on May 16th?

You bet I am. Are you?

Am I going? Of course.
I'm going with a friend.

It's your fault. I've been obsessed
with him since you played him so much.

I love Nick Cave more than life itself.

Do you want to share a taxi?

- No, I have some errands to run.
- Okay.

Apply for that job.

I think you have a private chauffeur.

- Hello.
- Oh my... Bye, bye.

- Bye.
- Hey!

- Hi.
- Don't you have work?

Yeah, but the interrogation
got canceled, so...

Lucky for you.

{\an8}I couldn't go all the way to the airport,

but it's your dream to get picked up.

You're so sweet.

Thank you.

{\an8}I missed you while I was
wandering around the house,

{\an8}driving Sigrid everywhere.

Thanks so much for that.

She's so unmotivated
that she has to be driven to practice.

It's my pleasure.

It would be nice if we moved in together.

Me, you, and the kids.

Into my place? All of us?

Me and Maia. Wouldn't it be nice?

Yeah. Is it a good idea, though?

It'll be everyday life, 24/7.

Maia isn't that fond of me yet.

Okay. I thought it was romantic.

It is. Of course. I'm sorry.

Just think about it.

If you're concerned about Maia,
you just need to build a relationship.

You should spend some time alone together.

If you move in with me,
I'll always pick you up.

I'm that kind of guy.

Oopsie-daisy. Femur is thigh.

Oh, okay.

- Listen.
- Okay.

- Collar bone?
- Clavicle.

- Shoulder blade?
- Scapula.

- Breastbone?
- Sternum.

- Ribs?
- Wow. Hello!

Are you guys here? How nice.

There's mold in our apartment,
so we had to move everything here.

Okay. Is everyone eating dinner here?

If so, you need to go to the store, Hanna.

I can't. I have lumbago.

We can go. And I can make a pasta dish.

- How kind.
- It's the least I can do.

- Thank you for letting us stay.
- No problem. You can hang out here.

Can you buy apple juice?
I'll transfer you money later.

Sure.

I'll get you painkillers,
and you can help me set the table.

{\an8}I'm trying to avoid painkillers, actually.

{\an8}MAYBE YOU SHOULD TAKE MAIA SHOPPING?

{\an8}I want to understand
the pain of my future patients.

{\an8}SHE NEEDS A DRESS FOR MAY 17TH. BONDING...

Isn't Sigrid here?

She's changing.
She has this date night with Amund.

Oh. Do 15-year-olds have those?

Apparently. It's so 19th century.

She's making him tapas and... It's gross.

Are you envious?

No. I just think it's a bit surprising

that a cool person like me
has never been in a relationship,

while Sigrid,
who lacks basic social skills,

is practically engaged.

Let me know when it's dinner.
I'll take a shower.

I think Njål is really cute.

How often do you need to hear
that he's q*eer?

He has a thing with Daniel.

That was it. Sorry.

{\an8}Kenneth asked me to move in together.

{\an8}What do you think?

{\an8}It's a no-brainer.

{\an8}OKAY! I THOUGHT SHE ONLY WORE
HER BAND UNIFORM ON THE 17TH?

{\an8}He practically wrote
my term paper yesterday

while I was on my back
with a hot water bottle, dictating.

Let your landlady know.
You'll call her about the mold, right?

No, I canceled the lease.

{\an8}SHE ALWAYS GETS A DRESS FOR THE 17TH

{\an8}I don't wanna live with mold.
I'll just move here for a while.

What did you say? Hanna?

How long? Hanna?

Hi, sweetie. Is that for me?

You've been gone one day.

You don't meet
the requirements for service.

- Are Maia and Kenneth coming to dinner?
- No. Maia has band practice.

Kenneth picked me up, though,
and then he asked me to move in together.

That's a little romantic, right?

You should move in together
to make it formal.

It's embarrassing that you're with a guy
without making it formal.

Would it be weird
if Kenneth and Maia lived here

and Maia's big brothers
came to dinner every Sunday?

I'm not four.
I can handle you living with a guy.

I've always wanted siblings anyway.

- Even step ones.
- Hi, Amund.

- Hi.
- Hi. Nice to see you.

- Was Trondheim good?
- Yes, thanks for asking.

Good. Wow! You're so damn fine today.

Thank you.

- Let's sit down.
- Yeah.

I'll leave you guys to it.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

- They match your dress too.
- Yes! My God, they look so nice.

Use your abs.

Get all the air out,
even from the bottom of your lungs.

Breathe out only.

Breathing in happens automatically.

We're doing the same exercise
but we're all on our individual journeys.

Use the power of your stomach.

Get all the air out. Empty your lungs.

It creates space for fresh oxygen.

I feel like a 71-year-old.

At least for an hour.

I like the instructor.

I believe what he says about

our own individual journeys
and that it's not about being the best.

That's bullshit.
Of course it's about being the best.

Speaking of...

I have decided to take charge
of Sigrid's soccer career.

It's not a career. She wants to quit.

Last practice,
they let her be a goalkeeper.

She was awesome.

I went up to the coach and said,

"Sigrid has the wrong position.
She should be the goalie."

That's how she'll stay on the main team,
and that's where us Middelthons belong.

I don't wanna be a soccer mom
who pressures her kids.

They need to be pressured!
That's how you become good.

Look at the Ingebrigtsens!
Their dad ran a tight ship!

And look at
all the fun they're having now.

Sigrid is talented,
and I'm not gonna stand there passively

watching her give up, like I did.

Dad, you were at a junior national team
gathering in '67 one time.

Because I gave up.
And what did I get in return?

Oslo's second-most-favorite doctor?

What do you think about
Kenneth and me moving in together?

Is that nice?

Sure, if that's what you want, then...

Yes, of course you should.

Hey, what's on your mind?

I just worry that it'll ruin things
with too much everyday life.

Right now, we meet when we have energy,

and he doesn't have to see me at my worst...

It's practical, of course.

Living together
shouldn't just be practical.

There should be some romance too.

Maia will hate it, though.

We just haven't built
a proper relationship yet.

We need to spend time together alone.

It's odd that you haven't yet.

How long have you been together?
Over a year.

She probably feels like
I'm stealing her dad from her.

Yeah, okay.

Hey...

Can we go now?

The Rainbow Group has a truck in
the Pride parade, and we need to prepare.

- Okay.
- Don't let yourself be pressured.

And trust your gut.

That's the most important thing.

I haven't trusted my gut

since I had kids with Finn Øye.

What about this? Is it nice?

A bit childish, no?

Yeah, maybe.

What kind of dresses do you like?

I don't really like dresses.

Dad is just obsessed with
giving me dresses for May 17th.

I just wear my band uniform anyway.

Right.

Should we go to Joe & the Juice instead?

Something fun happening on the phone?

I'm making a TikTok of you
with the hashtag...

Don't take it personally.

She's a preteen, so Jeanett had it easier

when Maia was a lot younger.

It's just that Maia doesn't like me.

I think it's a shame to force her

to live with someone
she thinks is a fly in the ointment.

But you're not so concerned with
getting to know her.

You weren't at the Christmas show,

and you don't come
to band concerts or anything.

But that's only because

her mom might not like it.

Tanya doesn't give a sh*t about that.
Maia and I go to all of Sigrid's games.

I'd like to go to a band concert.
When's the next one?

May 16th. You're seeing Nick Cave.

Hanna can have that ticket.

Of course I wanna see Maia play.

You mustn't think I don't like her.

I'm just not sure about
what kind of role I have with her.

That's really nice of you.

I know how much you like Nick Cave.

I don't like Nick Cave.

I love Nick Cave.
But the kids always come first.

What is it?

It's nothing.

I can sense that there's something.

I just wish I came first
every once in a while.

Not the kids.

That you thought about what's good for us.

But you always hold back.

I'm wondering if
you really wanna be with me.

I'm not unsure now.

I just wanna go all in, small and big.
Baggage and all.

I want to live with you. No reservations.

I don't want reservations either.

You know what? f*ck it.
Let's move in together.

Do you mean that? I feel like
I'm emotionally blackmailing you.

- No.
- I just have to say how I feel.

I'd like us to live together.

I mean... I don't want any reservations.

Should we tell the kids right away?

No, we should do it properly
to our own kids.

- There'll be reactions.
- Yeah, could be.

Hanna. Hey...

You have to get up. You need to
get dressed, and the guests are arriving.

How was the concert?

- Say hello to...
- Oh, hi.

Yeah, same to you.

Get a grip. Don't ask stuff like that.

He's not gossiping about Nick Cave.

Sorry. I'm just a little starstruck.

A 17th of May holiday lunch...

I'm sure you told him.

He's very cute.

It's a bit intense for me

when you can't act natural around
people who frequent with celebrities.

I'm sorry, I couldn't find any salmon.

You won't believe how hard it is
to get decent ingredients.

DIDN'T SEE YOU AT NICK CAVE?

That's okay.

Need the john. I have traveler's tummy.

GOT HELD UP! HAPPY MAY 17TH.

Dad, spare us the details.

I can't believe you met Nick Cave's crew.

No. And thank me too for tickets.

Are you seeing Peter again?

He lives in Liverpool,
so that's a bit complicated.

Is it true Grandma was dating
George Harrison before she met Grandpa?

I TALKED TO YNGVAR.
I'M GONNA APPLY FOR THE JOB!

I've said that to a lot of people.

- Awkward if it's not true.
- They went to school together.

Stephen and Grandpa say hello, by the way.

They enjoyed the flag hoisting,

because it looked "national romantic"
and the weather was nice.

We called Grandpa because
Hanna thinks she has Schlatter's disease.

Schlatter's disease?
You don't have that if you're not growing.

Something's wrong with my hip joints.

Are Kenneth and Maia coming? I'm hungry.

Yeah, they're just in town,
since Maia has to be in the parade...

I thought Finn was bringing Iben.
Has she gotten worse?

She's better.

I think there's trouble in paradise.

{\an8}JUST EAT! IT'S CHAOS DOWNTOWN

{\an8}We can eat. It's so crowded downtown,
so they're not coming yet.

Iben's a lot better, actually.

She wanted to talk to me
when I called Dad.

Wow. I thought she couldn't talk or walk.

She's been to a shaman.

He's not a shaman.

He's a holistic therapist and masseur.

She's also nicer.
They gave me a book this Easter.

It's so moving to see you all

gathered here today on our national day.

Yeah.

It's like the Skagen painting,
Hip, Hip, Hurrah!

Only without the white dresses
and sea breeze and...

Hip, hip, hurrah.
I'd like to welcome you all.

We're gonna have a lovely time,
my dear friends.

Please, dig in.

Yes, please dig in.

Just a little.

Are you boycotting the russ celebrations?

Is there a political message?

No. I just don't have the energy.

I've been working with music
since I met a producer in Oslo.

- I see.
- He makes really nice stuff.

We should listen to some of it.

What kind of music is it?
Why not your old band?

It's a solo project.

It's kind of pop/hip-hop.

- Can I do back-up vocals?
- No, you can't.

- You can't sing.
- Yeah, you need Auto-Tune.

We're going to Solli later
to have some beers.

If we drink enough, we'll do karaoke,

and then you'll see
that I should do back-up vocals.

- Hey, hey!
- Hey! Happy May 17th!

- Hey!
- Happy May 17th.

What a lovely trombone girl.
Want me to take your hat?

- I wanna keep it on.
- Sit with me, Maia.

I had to bribe Maia
with quite a lot of ice cream.

- Sorry we're late.
- No, no.

Sorry, everyone. Happy 17th.

- Happy 17th.
- Thanks.

Sit with me, Kenneth.

Thanks, Finn.

I'm thinking about crime writing,

so I need to talk about forensic science.

Forensic science isn't Kenneth's field.

- Yeah.
- He's an inter... interro...

Didn't Iben come with you?
I wanted to meet her.

- Yeah.
- Yeah. No, she didn't.

I guess I should
let that cat out of the bag.

I'll tell everyone now,

since it's necessary information for all.

Iben...

- Iben's gotten a lot better...
- Yes!

...since she's started going
to a holistic therapist.

Mogens.

I've also gotten to know Mogens.

Mogens has been spending
a lot of time with us.

And so it happened that Iben told me

that she and Mogens started
to have feelings for each other.

Oh?

I get that.

Mogens has more or less
healed her completely.

So here I am,

stripped of dignity
and house and home and...

I don't know what to do.

I just wanna stay in Oslo,

because I don't know what
I'm supposed to do in Copenhagen.

Dad, that's really sad news.

You could say that.
There are a lot of feelings, but...

So I sold Grandma's house
when she died, so...

I have to start from scratch now.

Yeah.

I'm sure you can stay here

while you figure things out. Right, Mom?

No, I don't think so.

Why not? Hanna moved back in.

You always say no one should be homeless.

Sure, but Hanna is here temporarily.

- You know that.
- But why?

- It'll just be weird.
- Why?

Yes, I'd be interested to hear why.

You're so generous with everyone.
That's kind of your identity.

Yeah but you see,
Kenneth and Maia are moving in now.

- Sorry, I guess I told everyone now.
- Are they?

- Yeah...
- Cool.

- Congratulations.
- Thanks.

That's awesome.

I just haven't had the chance
to tell Maia yet.

- Right.
- I'm just gonna...

Sorry.

Are you okay, Dad?

I'm okay, sweetie. Just a lot of feelings.

It is a little emotional

when it's May 17th
and your life has turned upside down.

- I don't know what to do.
- Oh my God. Relax, Dad.

You can crash on the sofa tonight
and think about it tomorrow.

Yeah. Maybe I'll come to Solli with you
to lift my spirits.

No. We're going with Leo's friends,
so no chance in hell.

Bye, Maia.

If...

You guys can sleep here too.
Even if Finn's on the couch.

Of course we can.

But we'll go to the fair
and play some games.

Then we'll go home, and I'll talk to her.

I'm sorry I blurted it out,
but I didn't want Finn to think

that he can stay on the couch forever.

- sh*t.
- It's okay.

Maia is a little sensitive.
She'll ease into it.

This will be great. We have to go to IKEA.

- Do we?
- Of course.

The ultimate couple's test.
It'll be great.

- Bye.
- Talk to you later.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Yes! Oh yes!

{\an8}No way! That's such an important goal!

{\an8}Yes! Holy sh*t, that's great!

About time.

That was so beautiful.

- That was so cool.
- It was.

Does Kenneth support Liverpool?

No. And that's
my one issue with him, actually.

- He supports Aston Villa.
- Wow.

But he's a really great guy.

I'm really happy for you, Pørni.

Thanks. Are you going to visit the grave
before you go home tomorrow?

- No, we won't have time.
- Right.

I've met a woman, by the way.

Oh?

She's amazing.

Her name is Anna, she's Dutch

but she's lived in Norway for years and...

That is so nice.

Congrats. Yeah... That's nice.

Pørni... It's been three years.

Yeah. I know.

Nice.

I sent the lease by email.

I saw that. Thanks. That's great.

But I thought you guys in number 5
shared a garage with number 7?

We do, but I prefer to have one on my own.

I get that. I love this garage.

But it's pointless to have a garage
when you aren't even allowed to drive.

- Of course.
- Call me if there's anything.

- Thanks.
- Enjoy the rest of your day.

Yeah, you too.

You've reached Anne.

Send me a text and don't leave a message

because I won't hear it.

I'll call you back as soon as I can. Bye!

Hi, sis.

I feel guilty because I couldn't
tend to the grave before the 17th,

but I'll go next week.

Kenneth and I are moving in together.

His daughter hates me, but it'll be okay.

I'm always such a coward.
I should just take the leap. Go all-in.

Goodbye.
