One question. Really quick. Sorry.

I started researching

driving schools and stuff,

but they're so pricey.

Uh, but you

I had the idea that

Be because, um,

I've seen you driving around

and going to work,

and I know you do that well.

And I just wondered if you had time

to, uh, help me with the basic things.

Half an hour? When you have time.

I mean, there's no stress.

I'm really flexible. No interests.

All right.

Yeah, I have. I bowl now.

I would love to help you out,

but it's just a bit, uh, too much. Um

My job At home, it's kinda

It's probably better

if you ask someone else.

- So

- Okay, maybe that's better.

- [phone ringing]

- At least, for now, I think.

Uh, okay. I was just making sure

that I checked first.

- But it's good that

- [ringing continues]

sh*t, it's Ulla. We've got a conference.

So, I'd better go.

- Hey.

- Huh?

- It was cool that you asked.

- Yeah. Cool you answered me.

[sombre music playing]

Hi. I tried to call you this morning.

I got it,

but, um, I was already on my way.

[Ulla] Uh-huh.

I think I'll bring MJ today.

She doesn't like being on her own.

Yeah, there are some things

we wanted to talk to you about.

- Okay, about what?

- Hey.

Look, here comes the bus.

[Ulla] Well, it's not really the time

to talk about this at the conference.

I suggest that you go

for a nice walk in the woods with MJ.

And then we'll talk

in peace and quiet tomorrow.

- Årsta Funeral Home

- [Ulla] That's right.

So, bye. Bye for now. Bye-bye.

But I'm going on the bus too.

Of course I'm going to the conference.

What's this about?

Have you heard anything more

about this new one, Maja?

- If that's the case, you have to tell me.

- We can't talk about it now.

What is this talk for?

'Cause I can tell it's something.

You have that weird look about you.

Now tell me what it is.

- We both have to be on that bus.

- I know.

- Can you just tell me what's going on?

- All right! All right!

Apparently, Maja was supposed

to replace you.

[woman] I'm very sorry,

but we really have to leave now.

You'll have to continue this conversation

on the bus.

- You know what? I'll ring you in a break.

- Yeah. Come on, Bosse.

Bosse Holmberg?

Yes. I'll sit here.

"A Day's Seminar

on the Bereaved in Focus."

"Meeting Death as your colleague."

- [chuckles] What great fun!

- Mm-hmm.

Ulla? Imagine if there were

two assistants.

We managed

to open Bosse's e-mails this morning.

And, I mean, there's an e-mail thread

that indicates that he was going

to let you go.

[PA switches on]

So, I want to make sure

I introduce the latest addition. [laughs]

So we have Årsta Funeral Home.

- It consists of the quartet Tore, Ulla

- Hey.

Per, and little Bosse. Welcome them all!

[ethereal music playing]

Why are we stopping here?

Are we not going to the conference?

[Ulla] Yes, but they also work

with the next of kin.

[woman] Måsen? Welcome. Come in.

- Hey, hey.

- [Ulla] Hey, Linn.

[Nadia] Hey, you all right?

[laughing]

- Hey.

- [Tore] Hey.

- [Nadia] Heya, Tore.

- Heya.

[echoing pounding]

So, it's these synergy effects

that we're talking about,

cross-pollination, if you will.

VIGGO BOA

HOW ARE YOU?

How can you, who all work close

to next of kin in different ways,

merge in the best way?

I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT YOU A LOT

It's about time for number three

of today's five lectures

I'M GREAT!!

SEE YOU TONIGHT?

before we end this lovely day

with a quite amazing buffet. But first

YES. WHERE?

I WANNA TALK ABOUT SOMETHING.

the region's first in-house psychologist

at Lundagårdens nursing home.

Here to talk

about her groundbreaking work,

we're all really amazed

to have Louise Ask!

[crowd applauding]

Thank you. Thank you, Lotta,

for having me. It's so nice.

As you know,

meeting the bereaved is a difficult issue,

and that's why I am so happy

that we're here together

so that we can highlight it.

Thank you.

[upbeat music playing]

Yes, I'll call the lawyer tomorrow, Tore,

and see what we can do, all right?

- We can't promise anything, but we'll try.

- No, of course.

Uh-huh.

You know, Tore, when I turned 20,

I went to a further education college.

And it's still

the best two years of my life.

I feel very happy

with the way things are now.

- And you'll call tomorrow, Per?

- Yes, I'll call tomorrow.

Thank you.

What a good lecture it was, eh?

With that Louise.

She seems very lovely.

- Drink tickets?

- Hmm?

- Two max each.

- Okay, two.

And I'll grab one for a friend.

Hey, is this like an open party now?

Can I invite a friend if I want to?

Uh, no, unfortunately the event's private.

- Okay, but if I have a plus-one?

- Sorry. Unfortunately.

What sort of friend do you want to invite?

- Hey.

- Hey.

[Ulla] It might be exciting,

trying something new.

You wanted to be a veterinarian

when you were little.

I'm not going to become a veterinarian.

Is that wound getting better, Tore?

Oh, yeah.

You drunk or what?

I don't think it's a brilliant idea

to get pissed if you're in pain.

Linn, I don't really know how to say it.

But it's not that peculiar

for friends to drift apart.

- Uh-huh.

- No.

So you don't need

to take it so personally.

You have a lot. I have a lot.

I'll see you around.

Then you can give it some space

instead of pushing

to the front of the queue.

- I thought I was first.

- Sorry about that.

Nah, not now.

Anyone else need to go before me?

["Sånt är livet"

by Anita Lindblom playing]

VIGGO BOA

HERE NOW

[bartender] Here you go.

Excuse me. Hey! If I may say hi.

Louise.

Tore.

Yes, I'm not sure

if you know who I am. Do you?

Uh, yeah. Great lecture you gave today.

It was super interesting.

Uh, no, I mean [inhales]

I was there at Bosse's funeral.

I understand you, mm-hmm.

[Louise] So, Bosse and I,

we met at the senior fair.

I'm Bosse's girlfriend

was his girlfriend,

or partner,

or whatever it is they might say.

Hey.

I mean, I don't want to bother you,

but I just wanted to say,

you know, your dad, he is the best thing

that's happened to me in many, many years.

I would be glad to share

So if you ever want

to grab a coffee sometime

or, yeah, whatever,

you can just get in touch. I'll be here.

You can have my number if you like.

Okay, sorry.

How long were you seeing each other?

Uh Oh, six months or something like that.

And did you plan on moving in

and making a home?

- Yeah, we Well, we

- At his home. Into his place, you mean?

Well, we had talked a bit

about that. Uh-huh.

But I just wanted to say to you

that Bosse, he loved you.

He talked about you endlessly,

all the time.

Yeah, okay, but why did he decide

to move me out

and erase my existence

for someone he barely knows?

Sorry, it was absolutely not my intention

to upset you.

- That's not what I meant.

- That's totally fine.

You're not the only one to mess up.

It's just better to be told.

[glass shatters]

["Sånt är livet" continues]

[song fades]

[no audible dialogue]

[song fades out]

[Tore breathing heavily]

Damn. f*ck.

Where are we going?

What

- Nah. Nah, nah, nah, nah.

- Wait.

Shh. Chill! Ch

- What?

- Tore, uh

What?

We must talk.

- [clears throat] We have to talk about

- Why? Talk with your c*ck instead.

- Let's go.

- I need to talk.

Can you listen to me, please?

I

[sighs]

I haven't been feeling

like myself [inhales sharply]

lately.

And I I talked to my sister,

and she said that I

- Listen!

- Yes, I'm listening.

Yeah, please listen, then! I [sighs]

Hmm. [inhales]

When we hung out that first time at

in the alley, you know?

Yeah, I know, but Yeah.

I f*ck' tried

to, uh, have sex with you, but

Uh, I get now it wasn't okay.

And I don't know why I did it,

but I did it, I think,

'cause if we had sex, I thought

that you would like me or something.

I don't know. It was f*cking dumb.

- Okay. You know, Viggo?

- Mm-hmm?

It's fine, because it felt cool.

- Nah. It was not cool. No. Nah.

- It was. I thought it was cool.

It was cool.

- Tore

- f*ck me.

Have you listened

been listening to a word I've said?

[Tore] f*ck.

[Viggo] Ebba said

you just wanna be with me

because you want to hurt yourself.

So I'm the perpetrator,

and you're the victim, right?

Yeah, okay. But I'm not a victim, Viggo.

- Are we doing it or not?

- No.

- Not when you're like this.

- "Not when I'm like" f*ck!

No, I mean What are you doing?

- You're not even listening.

- Why did you come here then?

- Why do you think I came here?

- To f*ck.

You're the one who's wanted to have sex

for the longest time.

What are you doing?

Let go of my f*cking rucksack.

I'll forgive you if I get this one.

Is that all I'm f*cking good for?

Listen! I like you!

[sighs heavily]

[shakily] sh*t.

Ah!

Cringe.

But, uh, yeah, I

[tuts] I think you are

[inhales]great.

But, uh, maybe you don't think

the same about me.

- [sniffing]

- Uh, well, there's someone else.

Or I don't know if that's an answer, but

- Sorry, Viggo. I didn't know.

- Hmm.

No.

Fine, yup.

But then we won't be hanging out

any more, so that's sad.

[sighs]

What?

["Visa mej hur man går hem"

by Lasse Lönndahl playing]

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Hello! It's Emma at the reception

of the Birch Hotel and Conference Centre.

Is this Tore?

Uh, yeah.

[Emma] We've been trying to reach you

all evening.

I got your number from a Linn Sjölund,

and she asked me pass on a message

that she's waiting for you in room 25.

Okay. Why?

[Emma] Uh, she didn't say.

Uh, okay.

- Uh, thank you.

- [Emma] Thanks, goodbye.

Linn?

Linn?

Stop it.

[blows]

Hey, stop it.

[ominous music playing]

Linn!

Stop it.

Linn, it's not funny.

Stop it! Can you wake up?

Linn, wake up! For real, stop!

Help! Help!

Please! Please, wake up! Wake up, Linn,

for real. It's not funny, for real.

Linn, stop! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

Help!

[Linn] Tore!

[Tore panting]

Look.

I'm fine, see?

I just wanted you to know how I felt

when I found you there in the snow.

If you think about it now, Tore,

there's a reason

you just had a kind of panic.

It's because you care about me.

Tore! Wait!

Wait! I can't just stand here

and watch you f*cking k*ll yourself!

It's because I'm worried!

f*ck you, f*cking c**t!

Good. Then I know.

Oh, also that thing that happened tonight

I won't talk about 'cause it's too awful.

You also said

you'd been best friends for 11 years.

Don't end up as Carrie and Samantha!

Not after this.

Not after tonight, definitely.

Uh-uh, say what you mean.

Go! What did she say?

[Shady Meat] It feels like

you're overreacting.

Oh yeah, actually she basically admitted

to being a h*m*.

- Oh my God!

- Wait. What do you actually mean?

She'd drunk a lot of wine and started

talking about how it's not natural.

You're not natural?

I'm disgusting! Then I was like,

"Okay, this is who you really are.

Yeah. Bye-bye."

- I feel sorry for you, Tore.

Nah, it's all right. It's

You were at a dance, did you say?

Yeah, sort of.

But it wasn't too fun tonight.

Well, much more important

to have some tea and a rusk.

Bertil and I, we always ate cardamom rusks

after we'd been in the city.

How long were you together?

[inhales] Sixty-four years.

But I'm still not satisfied.

Satisfied?

[sighs] I had a friend who was so happy

with all the years

she'd had with her Harald.

But I can't

I'm not satisfied.

I'm not done yet.

I'd do anything.
