It doesn't get

much easier than that.

My company will make an offer

of 22.1 million for the contract.

And we will win

that contract, Halbo.

It's only fair. You stole the other

one from right under my nose.

22.1 million?

That's overcharging them 2 million.

No sh*t?

Well, how about that?

- That's illegal.

- No one will ever know.

We sign the tenders ourselves.

There is no evidence.

If you join us, you've got great

opportunities waiting for you.

You're no idiot.

You want to play with the big boys,

sometimes you scrape your knee.

- Do we have a deal?

- I'll think about it.

You haven't got a choice, Halbo.

- So, have you made a decision?

- I'd like to go back to school.

Therapy of some sort.

But I don't know.

I'm not going to be a nurse again.

It's been too many years.

- I just don't know.

- When is dinner ready?

- Maybe we should get started.

- Let's wait a bit.

- But I'm hungry.

- I'll try calling him again.

Sorry I'm late.

Yeah, I know.

- Daddy!

- Hi, honey.

Hi, Mum.

Hi, babe. Are you okay?

- Where's the old man?

- Hello, Lars.

How do you like having him

around the house all the time?

He's like a lion in a cage.

But as long as he doesn't eat me...

You need to keep yourself busy.

How about playing some golf?

Guys your age are crazy about it.

And you need the exercise.

You won't be seeing me prancing

around some upper-class bozos.

Have you seen those loafers

with the tassels they wear?

Willy is thinking about joining

this bird-watching thing.

The Danish Ornithology Society.

They do a lot of excursions.

- Can we have chocolate?

- Uhm, sure.

- Come downstairs a minute.

- Sure.

Didn't the doctor tell you

to quit those things?

What did Persson want?

- How do you know about that?

- I saw his car parked around back.

Why do you keep coming around?

You were supposed to be relaxing.

- So, what did he want?

- He just wanted to chat.

Because you took the dormitory.

They won't take that lying down.

- It's a free market.

- Do you really have to aim so high?

- What are you worried about?

- About the company.

- Isn't plumbing enough?

- You don't have confidence in me?

- Sure, but why not do it my way?

- What's wrong with making money?

- We all have to make a living.

- I've done all right for years.

But you have to butt heads

with those greedy bastards.

- Always trying to be the best.

- What kind of bullshit is that?

You're just worried that I'll

do better than you ever did.

Just steer clear of them

from now on. You hear?

Coffee's ready!

We start off with the interior

facilities for the senior homes.

Firstly, the contract for

all electrical, plumbing -

ventilation and carpentry.

Next up is Holmberg Ltd.

The Svendsen & Son tender is...

Contractors' tender is...

Here's a tender from

Nystroem HVAC.

22,450,000 kroner.

This one is from JP Construction.

22,100,000 kroner.

And now for

the final tender of the day.

Halbo Electrical & Plumbing

with an offer of 19,750,000 kroner.

They are hereby

awarded the contract.

Do you realize

who you're messing with?

Hey! You just made

the biggest mistake of your life.

Do you want me to fix the cables

directly on to the ceiling?

I'm putting up drywall tomorrow,

no matter where you guys are.

- Everybody calm down.

- What's wrong?

We're still missing

those cable trays.

We have to stick to our deadlines.

- When will the cables be up?

- Tomorrow at noon.

- I'm losing money over this.

- I'll go talk to Preben.

You need to get a f***ing grip.

There's been a mix-up. Your trays

have been shipped to Herning.

I don't know what went wrong,

but you'll have them in the morning.

- I want your word on that, Preben.

- Of course. You can count on me.

- What did Hanne say?

- That I sent her the text.

And you didn't?

Then who used your phone?

- I left it in the class room!

- Don't you raise your voice to me.

Sorry, I'm late. Hey, babe.

I need a new phone, too.

It won't even download.

Andreas was in a row

at school today.

Lars, he's really upset.

You want to tell Daddy about it?

The teacher told me off,

and I didn't even do anything.

I have to call Knutte.

Knutte, it's me.

Did you get those cable trays yet?

Wonderful. Could you come in

a bit earlier tomorrow?

Let's try to get back on schedule.

Great. Talk to you later.

Sorry, you were saying?

Someone took

my cell phone from my bag -

and they wrote this text...

- Yeah?

- Lars!

I'm full.

Right. Sounds good.

Talk to you soon, Carsten.

Go away.

Kiddo, what happened at school?

- It doesn't matter.

- It does matter.

I was an idiot.

I don't want to be in that

shitty class. I have no friends.

I don't want to live

in this shitty country.

You promised things would get better,

but you're working just as much.

How about...? How about

we take a trip to Sweden?

We could fish, light a camp fire

and have fun. The whole family.

Would you like that?

Let's do that, then.

I love you.

Oliver's parents are fighting to

have him removed from the school.

She is a Nobel Peace Prize nominee

known to 20 million people -

but virtually unknown

in her home country.

Handball star Laerke Moeller

has been injured yet again...

- Can we have a talk?

- Sure.

- Is something wrong?

- No. What do you mean?

- Are you unhappy here in Denmark?

- No, I'm not.

- Aren't you pleased to be back?

- I'm very pleased to be back.

I know you did it for me.

If I hadn't been

so unhappy out there...

Don't bother yourself with that.

I'm happy to be home again.

The kids are doing great,

and you're feeling better, right?

You just don't seem happy.

- Is the company doing badly?

- No, nothing like that.

Some people are pissed off

that we won another contract.

Who's pissed off?

A man named Persson threatened me

after the contract awarding today.

- He threatened you? With what?

- Well, he just confronted me.

It's just that it was really

intimidating, you know?

Come on, don't worry about it.

What was that?

Who put that there?

Is that even ours?

- Sure it is.

- What about the window?

The wind must have slammed

the door and broken the glass.

- Is that even possible?

- Of course it is. Go on inside.

Yeah? What did you say?

All right. I'll be right there.

Jesus Christ! They've stolen

200 grand's worth of materials!

- It can't have been locked off.

- It was. I was the last to leave.

I locked off my cabin.

It was still locked when I got here.

How the hell could this happen?

I guess your guys can't figure out

how to lock up a container.

I locked up the container yesterday

and hung the key in your locker

No sign of a break-in.

The insurance won't cover it.

That's not really my problem.

The problem is that Persson

seems to have you in his pocket.

A fortune in materials was stolen,

and it's your responsibility.

My problem is that you're

falling behind schedule -

and the subcontractors are all up

in my face. So get your act together!

I'm giving you one week.
