Looking for someone, madame?

Yeah, yeah, uh I'm looking for my, um

Um, Freddy Jessen? Freddy Jessen.

- Mm. Freddy.

- You know him?

Yes, I know him. He's a good one. [laughs]

Yeah, yeah. Nah, but he lives over in 16B.

- Great. Thanks, okay?

- [woman] Okay.

- [Nana] Thanks again.

- Uh, yeah.

But he isn't at home.

- What?

- He'll be in the town square.

- Okay. So in Bagsværd town?

- Yeah.

- Where else?

Perfect.

[phone chimes]

LUCIA IS GOING TO MAKE

A DELICIOUS SEAFOOD PAELLA FOR US.

[Nana sighs]

[exhales]

So, let's take a look here.

Hmm.

And there.

- Do you see that spot that's blinking?

- [client] Yeah.

[Nana] That's your baby's heart.

- [client] It's beating fast.

- [Nana] Yeah, busy in there.

It's got a lot to do in just nine months.

[sighs happily]

- [Nana] Would you like a picture?

- Oh, yes. Yes, thanks very much.

Yeah, I apologise about the noise.

We're renovating, so it's quite hopeless.

Yeah, it's really fine.

[Nana sighs]

[drilling overhead]

[both gasp]

Is everyone okay?

- Can you get out?

- [worker] Sorry.

I'm so sorry about that. Are you okay?

- sh*t, a bit of a scare.

- [Nana] Yeah, I totally get that.

Our hearts were the ones

banging harder, huh?

[sighs, chuckles]

Yes. Give me two seconds.

I'll come back in a sec.

What are you f*cking doing?

The ceiling fell on my pregnant client.

Yeah, I'm really sorry, but

It's impossible to work in this.

I'll tell the chief.

Go on, then. And then ask her

when she plans to pay her debts.

For what?

Everything. She's got debts owing

for months. I'm not getting paid.

Okay, but just be quieter

as you're working, just a bit.

- [worker] Quieter?

- Take more care near pregnant people.

- Thanks.

- [worker] Fine.

[calming music playing]

[frogs croaking on headphones]

- [knocking on door]

- [gasps]

Helle?

Oh, these noise-cancelling headphones

are great.

I didn't hear you at all.

This is just relaxing frog sounds.

A ceiling panel fell down

on my client in the middle of scanning.

It's not good.

- [gasps] She's not hurt, I hope?

- [Nana] No, she's fine.

Good.

But when I complained to the builder,

he said there are bills to be paid?

Yes, yes. Yes, yes, it's a

There's a lot on.

However But we really must

I mean mean,

get this renovation done, you think?

Because then everything will be so good.

All is good, and it will be good again.

Yeah, I am really good.

I'm really good,

even if everyone's on my back.

Jannick and his cellar and

[sobs]

And Marie just says that I'm never

in our new house and

"Why buy such a big, new house

if you're never here anyway?"

[sobs] But perhaps she's right!

But you can't pay the rent

by staying at home, right?

- No, no. That

- It's all such a Well, you know.

- [knocking on door]

- Yes?

- [Hampus] Hmm?

- [Helle] Hi.

- Uh

- [Hampus] Oh, Helle?

- [Helle] Yes?

- [Nana] I've got it.

What What's the matter?

- It's

- You can talk to me. You know that?

Thanks. Thanks.

It's just a bit much at the mom [sighs]

It's all a bit of a pain at this second.

I think Helle needs some time alone

with me, so

The new insurance company called back.

They won't cover the mould.

And I don't have a clue

what I'm going to do.

- [sniffles]

- We're here for you, Helle.

- We're all here for you. Yeah.

- I'm so scared.

[Helle cries]

This too shall pass.

You you are really very much

my little starry moment.

- Oh, yes.

- You really are.

[Nana] Helle, also

what doesn't k*ll you, um

makes you stronger.

- Do you get me?

- Yes.

You're the best boss I've ever had.

- Am I?

- You are. Mm.

- Mm.

- [Helle] Oh, do you mean that?

- I absolutely mean it.

- Oh. Thanks.

- [Nana] Mm.

- [Hampus] Mm.

You are so good, both of you, you two.

[Helle sobs]

Thank you.

[gentle music playing]

[knocking on door]

- Oh.

- Hi.

- [Lucia] Hi, Nana.

- Hi.

- Nice to see you again.

- Thank you.

- And nice to see you.

- [chuckles]

- [baby fusses]

- Hola, bebé.

Oh, yeah. It's the It's the

- [speaks Spanish]

- [chuckles] Baby.

- [baby fusses]

- You're so gorgeous.

I can't take my eyes off her.

[chuckles]

To think I'm your pa.

[Nana chuckles]

[Mathias] Will you come up?

Ooh!

And so

How about you? Have you, um,

thought any more? Finding your father?

Oh, I was actually, uh

I passed by there today.

- Okay.

- He's got a hot dog van.

- How wild.

- Yeah, it's really wild, yeah.

So, did you get to meet him?

Uh

No, I didn't. I didn't, actually.

Well, I I couldn't.

No?

- [loud thwack]

- [Lucia] So, this is paella.

It's a classic from Spanish cuisine,

and this is my grandmother's

special recipe.

She was always generous

with the amount of white wine.

- Okay.

- [Mathias] Yeah.

We should make it for my parents

when they come back.

Oh, yeah!

They are on their silver honeymoon.

[Nana] Mm-hm

They're so cute. Maybe someday, honey

That'd be nice.

There's some wine if you want.

Yes, thanks.

[Nana] Yeah. And I can only have one glass

because of the breastfeeding. [sighs]

Oh. We have a little thing

for the little one.

Ah, yeah.

[speaks Spanish]

- Nana, um

- [Nana] Whoops.

- I know this may seem a bit awkward

- [Nana] Mm.

You and I, getting to know each other

after what you did.

It's, like pfft.

Yeah, for me, it's actually

it's not awkward at all. Yeah.

[Mathias] Look at this. Huh?

[women chuckle]

- See?

- Wow.

Yeah, we were thinking

this could be above the bed.

- [Nana] Yeah. Yeah.

- Yeah.

What is it?

- It's whales.

- Both Mathias and I love the sea.

So we made it.

It's beautiful, really.

It's just funny because it's, um, whales,

but also, if you put them in water,

they will die because it's paper.

- Well Do you like it, baby?

- [baby giggles]

- Yeah.

- [Lucia] Yeah?

- Yeah. "Thank you," says the baby.

- [Lucia sighs]

"Thank you for making me." [chuckles]

Whoops.

[Lucia] And voilá.

[jazz music playing on stereo]

[Nana chuckles]

It's really good.

Thank you.

[Nana chuckles]

[Mathias] It's really good.

- Yeah, really.

- Thank you, honey.

It reminds me a bit of,

uh, the trip to Colombia we had.

We had something similar at that,

uh that restaurant. Remember?

What restaurant?

It's also a tradition, uh, in Colombia.

[Nana] Yeah, but the restaurant

with the, uh

- When that stuff happened to your face.

- [Mathias sighs]

It went bright red, matched my lace bra.

Oh, yeah. That was hell.

Okay, yeah. Yeah, okay.

Yeah, I remember that restaurant.

[Nana and Mathias laugh]

- I thought I was going to die.

- I'd never seen such a lacy red face.

- [Mathias] I felt bad.

- [Nana] What was it?

- Was it mega spiced?

- Yeah, it was.

[laughs] Isn't this the same thing?

[hesitates] What?

- [Mathias laughing]

- And a lacy pattern like my bra.

So then you ran over and pushed

the trolley out of the way

and kicked that guy on the shin

because you wanted his cola.

[both laugh]

So, Nana

- Why did you do it?

- Why did I do what?

Why did you steal my boyfriend's semen?

[Mathias exhales sharply]

I mean, it's a crazy thing to do, so

Why did you do it?

- I

- Maybe this isn't the right time.

No, I want to know!

- Uh, uh

- [Lucia] Tell me.

What made you do such a thing?

[sighs]

[exhales] Well, I I, um

Well, I got my, uh, egg reserve checked.

And, uh

Yeah, it was very low, and and then I

I found out that I only had like

six months left to get pregnant.

At the same time,

I met Mathias at the sperm bank,

and I think that seeing him, or like

[sighs] Seeing you

just brought back memories of what we had,

and what I f*cked up

and how special it was, I guess.

And then I remembered when I was with you,

I thought that if I ever wanted a child,

it should

be with you.

I think we even talked about it

at one point, having a child.

And then all of a sudden,

I got so afraid, and I got this crazy

baby fever, I guess, and I I panicked.

And that night, when I did it,

when I stole your semen,

it just kind of felt

like the only option I had.

Like, the only way that I could get

what I suddenly wanted so bad.

[Nana sighs]

[clears throat]

[Lucia] Maybe

I should have my egg reserve checked too?

Yeah. [clears throat]

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

Yeah, definitely.

I mean, it's a good idea.

- [Laura] Will this make me go to sleep?

- [Nana] No, it won't.

It'll just help to relax you.

Okay.

Great. So now, I'll take this needle,

which I'm going to inseminate you with.

So it's here, and I put it on top.

Mm-hm.

Then I'll put it here.

And I will be inserting this in here.

- Mm-hm?

- Okay.

It may feel a bit cold.

Let me know if it hurts, and then I stop.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

[Nana] I'm inserting it now.

[sighs]

If it hurts, I'll just pause.

Just please get it over with.

[Nana] Okay. You're doing really well.

So, I take the syringe

- Won't come out?

- [Nana] No, I don't

- Listen, don't you have work to do or?

- Go on, yeah, right.

Helle, it's only me here.

Can you open the door?

Helle?

- Promise they've all gone away?

- Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

[quietly] Go away.

Niels-Anders, go away.

[concerned chatter]

Open the door, Helle. Let's have a chat.

[door unlocks]

[sobbing]

What is it?

[frogs croaking on recording]

[sniffles] The builders have downed tools

and stopped.

- [Nana] Mm.

- [exhales shakily]

- Because of the mould or what?

- No. It's because of payment.

It's, uh

So, they haven't really been paid at all,

so now they

And now they've stopped working

until they are.

And, I mean, that's fair enough.

There's no money?

Yeah. It all has just cost much,

much more than initially budgeted for.

And we can't get enough clients through,

because the clinic isn't finished.

Okay.

[Helle sobbing]

I have spent way, way too much money.

That's not so good.

So unless there's a miracle,

DoVi's going under, Nana.

We don't know. There could be a solution.

Well, there isn't. There isn't.

Yeah, if we win the lottery.

[sighs] But first, we would need to buy

a lottery ticket. [sighs]

I think we need to go out.

Everyone is worried about you.

I'm not going to go out there.

I'll never go out there again.

I'll have to stay in here forever. [sighs]

Thank God there's under-floor heating.

- And that was really, really expensive.

- [softly] Yeah.

But it's also because I just don't know

what to say to them.

What am I going to say to them all?

Say something, and if it has to be

- Just tell them a little lie.

- I'm not as good at lying as you are.

No, definitely not.

[huffs]

Well, I'd say nothing then.

I'd keep it to myself

until I've something to tell.

It just creates unnecessary panic.

- Yeah. Yeah.

- You're the captain, yeah?

Yes, you're right. I I must continue

to be the clear leader

I pledged to be.

Hi. I'm just looking for

Oh. There you are.

Lucia?

[Lucia sighs]

[Lucia] I just can't let it go.

What if my egg reserve

is the same as yours?

- [Nana] Mm-hm.

- [Lucia] So

I was just wondering

if it's possible to get it examined.

[Nana grunts]

Oh, you mean [coughs] You mean here?

Yeah.

Oh [chuckles awkwardly]

[quietly] Yeah, sure.

[equipment beeps]

All right, so if you just, um,

try to relax in your pelvic floor.

[Lucia] Mm-hm.

[Nana] And it's just going

to be a bit cold.

Yeah. And breathe in.

- [Lucia takes a deep breath]

- Yeah

There you go.

All right. I'm just looking

at your right ovary right here, and it

It looks it looks normal.

[Lucia sighs]

And now I'm just gonna I'm gonna get your

left ovary,

and that looks normal too. [chuckles]

And I will

[Lucia grunts]

[quietly] f*ck.

- [Lucia] Is something wrong?

- No, no, no! Nothing Nothing's wrong.

Nothing is wrong.

- Why did you say f*ck?

- Just because there's technical issues.

It's the machine,

and it's always broken, and I Yeah.

But everything is fine,

and your egg reserve is just

absolutely good.

I'm going to take this out.

Okay, thank you, Nana.

That's such a relief.

How can bankruptcy just happen overnight?

- She must have said something.

- Yeah.

- [Anton] Anything?

- I think it's better coming from her.

- Yeah. Thanks.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

- [Niels-Anders] To DoVi.

[Anton] Yeah.

Excuse me? Two beers and two chasers.

What was it with, uh, Lucia?

She wanted a scan.

- Oof.

- [Nana] Yeah.

Obviously, she was troubled

by my low egg reserves.

So But how, uh But how was it to

She has a pelvis of a f*cking 24-year-old.

Mm. Okay.

And so, um

[sighs]

So what?

What?

She's pregnant.

- Pregnant?

- [Nana] Shh.

You're serious?

But it's early days.

- Wow.

- I know, yeah.

Was she glad or

- I didn't tell her.

- You haven't told her that she's pregnant?

- [Nana] Mm-mm.

- What does that mean?

[Nana] I panicked. It's just

I can't handle that he's going

to have a baby with her.

Like, now?

We haven't begun to be a family,

and this will undo it all.

- You do have to tell her. Clear, right?

- Yeah. I know that.
