05x06 - Never Ever Walk Alone

[bunniefuu]

[doorbell rings]

[footsteps]

[door opens, creaks]

-[Pørni] Oh, hello.
-I shifted around a few things.

I felt so bad for the girls
when I wasn't able to come right away.

I came by ferry, so I got here sooner.

The price of plane tickets is crazy.
My condolences.

Thanks for that.

-How are you holding up?
-It's quite hard.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I talked to the girls the day after.

It's so sad for them.

I should have been here... when it happened.

We were invited to the wedding as well,

but Iben wanted me to come
to her doctor's appointment that day.

And... she's a little jealous
about how we're so... familial.

Are the girls at home?

Yeah, no, they were home for a few days,
then they wanted to go back to school and...

Should I get rid of the dead ones
and put these new ones in here?

[Pørni] Yeah.

I've replaced the hose.
So you can wash away.

[Pørni] Mm.

Hello, Finn.

[Pørni] Yeah, you have... met before.

-Yeah.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. We did.

Goodness, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Where there is sadness,
there's always hope.

No. Bjørnar's been helping me
with the washing machine because, um...

These things still break down
even when you lose a father, so...

-[Finn] That's the way it is.
-[Bjørnar] Should I...

I can put those in water. I can take them.

It isn't easy to know what to say
with something like this, and... [sighs]

Uh, Ole Johan was a person
I thought very highly of.

And he was so... candid.

And... he wasn't too fond of me.
I know that much.

[Bjørnar] Should I make some coffee?

No, no, no. I...
Don't do anything... extra for my sake.

I think I'll... I'll head over to Geir's

with my suitcase right away
so I won't impose on you, and...

I'll stay in Oslo as long
as you need me to stay.

-[Pørni sighs]
-Or as long as... the girls need me.

Thank you.

I have to be
back in Copenhagen on the 17th.

There are... so many meetings with...

An American literary agent is coming over,
so that'll be...

No, but... It's Iben's daughter's birthday,
and there's a lot...

No, but... I... I'll come to the service.

Thanks for that.

-We'll keep in touch.
-Yeah. All right.

PERNILLE

[theme music plays, fades]

When we carry in the coffin,
what if we play "You'll Never Walk Alone"?

[Pørni] Mm.

And can I request that there's live music?

I always remember this one funeral...
and the only thing he wanted was music.

And there was a technical issue.
It was painful, actually.

-There wasn't any music?
-No.

Nothing at all.

In... inside... the box he left me,
there was this one for you.

And I... I haven't looked in it at all.
Just opened the lid.

-There's a Mac in there.
-What? Left it for me?

No... He, uh, laughed
at how old my Apple products were.

[sombre music playing]

There's me and Anne.

This is probably Mum's jewellery.

[chuckles]

-"Dearest daughter of mine."
-Hmm.

[voice breaking] "If you're reading this,
then you're sad now."

[exhales emotionally]

I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry. Right.

"You are sad now."

"Don't be sad."

"You shouldn't suck
on the candy of grief."

"That is very important."

"Swap over your old Mac with this one,

and have a look
at the videos I've made for you."

-Mm.
-Do you want to watch it alone?

No, you have to watch it with me.

Dear daughter of mine.

A couple of years ago,
I saw a scary film with Stephen.

In it, there was a woman
who recorded a video

because she was afraid
she would kick the bucket.

And I thought, what a great idea,
in case of a... I went before my time.

So, um... [clears throat]
And I've written you a few words here...

Yeah.

I have no idea
what our last conversation will be.

So I want to say here and now...

I love you.

I think you are so very amazing.

[sobbing]

And almost everything
has been said between us,

but, uh... you are my bestest girl.

Yeah, I know you didn't think so. Mm-mm.

You thought that Anne
was the favourite one.

-And she was.
-Yeah. She was, though.

But... that was
because she needed me the most.

I never had to worry about you.
You were always so strong.

But strong people need other people too.

Go out and find them now.
Find the people who are good for you.

-[Stephen] Hmm.
-Yeah, and look after Stephen for me.

Right, that's it. Sentimental stuff over.

Uh... let's see.
I have some thoughts on the funeral.

Number one, I want a full church.
I want it to be full to bursting.

And number two,
um, my sister Elisabeth and I,

we had an agreement
that whoever lives the longest

sings a song
at the other person's service.

Yes. And it's a song
that many people will be really fond of.

[laughs] We were fond of it,
anyway, when we were little.

[in Norwegian] ♪ The jacket's made
Of meatballs, of meatballs ♪

♪ The jacket's made of meatballs

♪ And he's playing on a ladle
A ladle, a ladle... ♪

[in English] This is what Granddad wants
at his funeral?

Yeah. Give me strength.
But with new lyrics by Elisabeth.

He said that this song meant a lot
to them when they were small children.

But... I'd like to have
a few nice songs as well,

even if that one meant something special
for those two.

I don't want something
that ends up comical instead.

-[Sigrid] Hello!
-Oh, hi.

Weren't you going to sleep over with Dad?

We were, but it wasn't very nice
at Geir's, so we came home to you instead.

Uh, we can go to Liverpool
even without Granddad, right?

Peter's wondering
'cause he's organised a load of things,

and he doesn't know
if he should cancel them.

I have no idea.
It was Granddad's honeymoon, though.

I know with us, of course,
but isn't it sad if he's not there?

Or nice. It could be nice as well.

It's a month away.
It won't feel as sad then.

I think Granddad would be livid
if we don't go.

It cost him 83,700 kroner.

Was he that specific about what he spent?

Yeah, he did like to say how much it cost.

Let me think about it.

We have to get through the funeral.

Do you want to see
what song Granddad wants for his funeral?

Yeah.

[gentle music playing]

Hello.

-Hi.
-Hi, Pørni.

I'm sorry. I was so sad to hear the news.

Thanks.

-Thank you.
-I'm sorry.

Aw!

Thanks for the nice flowers.
They were a lovely thought.

-Hi.
-Hi.

You're not working today, are you?

No, I'm not. I wanted a change
from going through my dad's documents.

Oh... Are you here?

You're on sick leave.

You can't be here
when you're on sick leave.

I hope you're not working.

Sorry about your dad, by the way. That...

Oh my God.
I'm sorry. I should have said that first.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Come here.

It's fine. I'm not working.
I'm just... visiting.

-Great.
-[Bjørnar] Pernille?

Can you step in here for a sec?

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

-Go on.
-[Bjørnar] It's fine.

-Thank you, Solveig.
-Yeah.

So now you know.
And you're the first to find out.

-But it's going great for you here.
-[Bjørnar] Yeah, yeah.

And I... I mean,

I'm very pleased that I got past those...
teething issues...

But it's the first time
I've been headhunted.

And I'm very interested
in the politics behind it all,

so I really think that Bufdir
is a great place for me right now.

So it's no longer Municipality.
Now you'll be City Mayor Bjørnar.

Congratulations.

Yeah, you'll have to change
the prefix on your phone.

Can I still ring you
to fix my washing machine?

-That's fine.
-And I'll still see you?

Yeah. Certainly.

[gentle music playing]

[Madjid] Sure you want
to be driving me around on sick leave?

[Pørni] I like driving people.

Remember to take care of yourself too,
okay?

Have I understood correctly that the dad
was on drugs the last time you were here?

[Madjid] Yeah, right.

But he has given negative urine samples
for a few weeks now, so we'll see.

[door closes]

f*cking hell!

You didn't let me know!
You have to give notice!

Let's go inside and get dressed.

Yeah.

[phone chimes]

I HEARD YOU DROVE MADJID AND ERON.
YOU'RE NOT WORKING?

JUST HANGING OUT WITH COLLEAGUES.

NOT WORKING!

Jarle! Marthe!

Jarle! Marthe! Hi!

-Uh, are you coming over today?
-Hi!

Oh, Madjid is in there...
talking to your dad for a bit.

So why don't you maybe wait a while
before you go in there?

You think you could show me
the tree house

that you said your dad built
for you when I was last here?

-[Marthe] We have a secret club there.
-Hm? Secret, is it?

Yeah, but you can come into treehouse
if you don't tell anyone.

If it's a secret, I am zip. Where is it?

Come on!

TO MADJID - KIDS CAME HOME.
WE'RE PLAYING IN THE TREE HOUSE.

And Homelander, I actually like him.

Ryan's good, but he's evil as well.

-Ryan's the son of Homelander, isn't he?
-[Jarle] Yeah, Homelander is his dad.

[dad] Marthe! Jarle!

Can you come down?

We have to go in
and talk to Madjid and Eron.

-Yeah.
-Yeah. Coming.

[dad] Good.

You're really good at being on sick leave.

[gentle music playing]

I've been lucky enough
to have two amazing daughters

who I've loved more than life itself.

I lost one of them.

But... I have decided

to find joy in what I do have.

Three... lovely... grandchildren.

Leo, Hanna, and Sigrid.

I am so thankful for them.

To you, Finn,
take care of your girls. They need you.

And I have an amazing son-in-law
in you, Charlie.

And as the saying goes,
in the autumn of my life,

I found you, Stephen.

I...

I love you.

These last days, I was thinking that, um...

That... that being loved...
by a person like my Baldwin...

three years now...

is enough love to last for a...

for a lifetime.

You... taught us that...

as long as you're alive,
it's never too late.

And you... you came out very late

But when you did... you came out with...

a brass band and trumpets and fanfare.

The same way... as with everything you did.

You were never quiet.

And you were... warm.

And you were... so much fun.

Or droll, as I'd say.

And you... you were so...
you were so full of... care and love...

for your family there.

There... there is a light
that is ahead of me somewhere,

but right now...

[sobbing]

But right now...
I don't know if I can even try to see it.

My dear Ole Johan.

My brother.

-[sounds resume]

Do you feel ready to go back to work?

I don't think I've ever had
as much leave as this.

The devil finds work for idle hands.

After I've been to Liverpool,

I'll be ready for violence
and abuse again.

[chuckles] Yeah.

I'm really glad that you've had
all this time off.

I think it's been really good for you.

Not trying to rush into anything
after what's happened.

Are you talking about work now?

Yeah. And us. I suppose.

[chuckles]

I think it's good
that we've taken things slowly. I do.

And that we don't go
and make the same mistakes.

We can just take it slow.

Um... things can go too slow as well.

[both chuckle]

I'd better head back now.

But, uh... you enjoy it.

-Thank you.
-Have a great time.

Thanks.

And... buy me a Liverpool cap...
if you find one.

Yeah, I will do.

Don't miss your bus.

Nah. I'll go later.

[tender music playing]

I kind of resent Granddad for not getting
anyone to tend to the grave. And you.

It's your mum as well.

They must have a burial department
in Liverpool too.

I think he did a good job
for many years, but...

I agree. Maybe we can ask Peter
if he knows about it.

I've got us a table at Mowgli
after the game tomorrow.

That's great.

-Morning. How are you?
-Hi.

How can I help ya?

I'm actually looking for a cap.

One size fits all.
That will look great on you.

Okay. And then I'll need two,
so how much will that be?

Special price just for you. Thirty quid.

-[Pørni chuckles]
-Thank you.

-Have a nice day.
-You too.

Mum, I have this friend who's,
uh... studying in Liverpool,

and he wants us to help him move a sofa.

So can we put back the meet-up
at the stadium to seven o'clock?

Excuse me. A sofa and your mate?
Isn't this family time here?

Yes, but he's been a little depressed,
and he wanted to meet Peter.

Is that rude for your uncle
if he's waiting for us at Anfield?

No, no, it's fine.
He's there tonight anyway.

He's practically there 24/7, so...

Okay, so sod off, then.

Should we go to Granddad's favourite pub?

Uh, yeah, or can me and Leo go
to that vintage place?

We haven't gone shopping,
and there's no time before the game.

No, that's true.
You both do that. Go on. Enjoy yourselves.

We'll meet by the steps
outside of Anfield at 7:00. Don't be late.

When am I ever?

[Sigrid] Remember that we love you.

[Peter chuckles]

[pleasant instrumental music playing]

[bell jingles]

-Hiya, love.
-Hello.

What can I get ya?

I think I'll have a pint of lager, please.

-You're here for the match tomorrow?
-Oh, yes.

Where are you from?

-I'm from Norway.
-[woman] Norway?

-I've been to Norway.
-Have you?

Yeah. Veges... Ve... Va... Vu...

-Vegesbeg?
-Oh, you mean Vågsbygd?

-That's it.
-Really? No one goes there. [chuckles]

[woman] So how come
you're a Liverpool supporter?

Oh, long story, but my mom and dad,
they met here, actually, and then...

And my father, he bought a trip
for me and my kids

so we could see the match.

But then he... he passed away
just before we went, so...

Aw, I'm sorry to hear that, love.

-What's your name?
-Pernille.

-But sometimes they call me Pørni.
-Pørni.

Did you hear that, Kenny?

Pørni. Norwegian Liverpool supporter.

Pørni, everything will be okay.

And remember, you'll never walk alone.
Enjoy the game.

Thank you, Mr Dalglish. Mr... Sir.

-Sir. Thank you, sir.
-Thank you.

[Pørni] Thank you, sir.

[gentle music playing]

[woman] Pørni,
can I get you anything else?

No. I don't need anything else. Ever.

[phone ringtone playing]

-Hi! Are you all right?
-[Bjørnar] Hi!

[chuckles] I'm the one
who should be asking you that, but...

But are you... are you okay?
Are you enjoying Liverpool?

Yeah. We went to the Titanic Museum
this morning and shouted,

"Do you trust me?",
and the kids liked that.

Yeah. And what about you? Are you okay?

Yeah. I went to see mum's grave...
and I saw Kenny Dalglish in a pub.

How random!

-No! You're having me on!
-[laughs]

-No.
-Oh my God! That's huge!

I know. It was... I can't get over it.

I have to say...

Actually, I feel
a bit like a loser right now,

sitting in front of a sign that says
"You'll never walk alone."

And I'm waiting for the kids,
who are all really late.

So I feel like it's too little walking
and too much alone, actually.

-[chuckles]
-Hmm.

So I'd say that you're sitting...
on the steps outside of Anfield,

to the left of Shankly,
feeling sorry for yourself?

[chuckles] Have you got me on Snap Map?

Turn around.

Jesus f*cking Christ!

-Are you here?
-Yeah, I guess I am.

I booked a ticket,

and I agreed with Hanna
a while ago that I would surprise you.

I was a little unsure if the kids
would be able to keep the secret,

but uh...

You look quite surprised.

[laughs] Hi!

-Hi.
-Hi!

Yeah. Come on, tell me.
Did you get a selfie with King Kenny?

Uh, no, I was so starstruck
that I called him "mister." He's a "sir."

But excuse me, I... What the...?

-Conspiring with... I'm quite confused here.
-Yeah, that's understandable.

I might as well... just go for it.

[clears throat]

Pernille... Middelthon.

I can be an... idiot.

But it's a mitigating circumstance
that I know that I can be an idiot.

And the reason I stand here now,
outside of Anfield,

on these steps,
and have conspired with your kids,

is that I love you.

I want you, no matter what.
And that is why I'm here.

-[chuckles]
-Pernille...

Will you... will you marry me?

[gentle music playing]

If you... meant what you said...
when you were doing your speech

for Ole Johan.

Of course I meant it. But

I thought that you said...
to take it slowly?

Yes, but as a wiser woman
than me once said,

"Things can go too slow."

So what do you say?

Never walk alone... with me.

-Of course it's a yes.
-Yeah?

I'm no longer a GP,

but I'll call you back if you were
one of my favourite patients.

For urgent help,
call the emergency services. Bye-bye.

Hi, it's me.
I wanted to say thanks for the trip.

It was fantastic,
and great to be at Anfield, and...

[knocking]

-Hi.
-[Bjørnar] Hey you.

Sorry. Were you ringing Anne?
I didn't mean to intrude.

-No. I was calling my dad.
-Ah, right.

I wanted to say I've made dinner.

-But call your dad first, if you want to.
-No. I'm coming now.

I won't make a habit of barging
into the garage like that.

-That's okay.
-[chuckling]

-I just wanted to tell him all about it.
-That we're getting married?

No. That I've seen Kenny Dalglish.

[both chuckle]

Yes, of course you should do that.

-Go and call your dad.
-You mean that?

Yeah, of course.
I'll keep the food warm in there.

Thanks.
