After that, it's day fines.

A hundred grand every single day.

It's in your contract. Got it?

They cleaned out the container.

I need everything.

Cables, circuit breakers,

water pumps, fittings.

- I'll put in the same order again.

- Great.

Lars, do you have a minute?

- How's retirement treating Willy?

- I think he's okay.

Listen, Lars...

Times are tough.

We're all feeling the crisis.

I can't keep giving you discounts.

What do you mean?

I'm really sorry, but I have to

charge you list price from now on.

You can't do that to me. Without

the discount I won't make a profit.

I'm sorry, Lars. I truly am.

Did Storgaard and Persson

put you up to this? Then why?

I've got customers calling

refusing to buy from me -

if I keep giving you discounts.

I don't know what's going on.

- You can't back out on our deal!

- What else can I do?

If they take their business elsewhere

I'll lose 80% of my revenue.

What the hell is going on? Huh?

- I haven't got a choice.

- We all have a choice.

Only some people

make the wrong ones.

We usually get 40% on orders

this size and you're offering us 5?

That doesn't make any sense.

I know, but...

Then we have

nothing more to discuss.

Nope.

Try Lemvigh-Mueller.

Rikke, what is it?

You've got me

at a really bad time.

All right, I'll go.

No, I'll go. It's okay.

I have to go, Carsten.

Keep trying till you find someone.

- I'll call you later.

- Right.

- What happened to your bike?

- Someone broke it.

They trampled all over it.

Buckled the front wheel.

- Who did?

- Can we please just go home?

- Some man came by for you.

- Who was it?

He didn't tell me his name.

He asked me

if I wanted a ride home.

- A man you didn't know?

- That's what I'm saying.

- What did he look like?

- Like a normal guy.

- What did he look like?

- I don't know. I didn't go.

Do you see him anywhere?

Do you see him? Look hard.

Well, it might be that guy.

Hey! You there!

Hey! Hey!

Is that understood?

Then what did I say?

- Take it easy.

- This is important.

We can't go with people

we don't know -

even if they say

they know you or Mum.

Remember that.

Andreas, I mean it!

- But I didn't go with him.

- Lars, that's enough.

Stop undermining me.

Jesus Christ, Betty!

Be a bit more careful! Try asking

for stuff instead of grabbing for it!

- It was an accident.

- It's still f***ing unbelievable.

It's okay, sweetie.

- What's wrong with you?

- I'm just under a lot of stress.

- What's going on?

- It's nothing. I can handle it.

You're acting all crazy. Why won't

you tell me what's going on?

Storgaard and his mob have bullied

Preben to stop giving us discounts.

It wouldn't surprise me

if they robbed the container, too.

Could they be the ones

who offered Andreas a ride?

Is that why you acted

that way in there?

What's this about? It's because

you're scoring all the big gigs.

If you hadn't taken them on

they'd leave us alone.

- You sound just like my father.

- You should call the police.

- I'll just keep on going.

- Why do you have to be so stubborn?

I'm just trying to make

our business a little profit.

- Why do you need all that money?

- You don't understand a damn thing.

You want me to end up like my dad?

A burnt-out wreck at sixty?

He hasn't been on vacation in decades

for fear of leaving the company.

- This life isn't that much better.

- Thanks for the support.

All right. Cable trays go here

and all the way through here.

You connect those to the main

circuit breaker in the stairwell.

And make it snappy.

- Allan, cables.

- I'm six pipes short.

- Halbo speaking.

- This is Christian Storgaard.

How about you and I

have a chat, man to man?

A chat? What about?

I'd like to settle the differences

we've been having lately.

How about it?

Thank you for taking the time to

stop by. I know you're a busy man.

I like you, Lars.

You're very talented.

And you've got guts,

which I really appreciate.

I have two different, but very

favorable offers to make you.

Whichever offer you choose, it's

going to benefit us both greatly.

Firstly, an offer of collaboration.

I know Persson and Bo here have

explained the advantages to you.

Should you choose to accept,

I can guarantee you -

that you won't have to pay

those fines hanging over your head.

My second offer is quite simply -

the acquisition of your company

by Storgaard Contractors.

- And what would I be doing?

- You would stay on as CEO.

Albeit with some adjustments to

company practices. What do you say?

You'd do well to remember -

the many years your father

spent building this company.

Your family would have

a far happier father and husband -

if you think about this carefully

and make the right decision.

The current state of affairs

could spell disaster for your family.

- Which nobody benefits from.

- You're not getting away with this.

You have my word on that.

What's wrong with this guy?

He just needs some time

to get used to the idea.

Did you take a look at the offer?

What do we do?

We accept Lemvigh-Mueller's offer

- They're only giving us 5%.

- As long as we get the materials.

- This is going to kill the budget.

- I'll work something out.

Just do as I tell you. I'm leaving

for Sweden with my familiy.

What are you doing here?

I was just looking for

some terminal strips.

- What the hell are you doing?

- Nothing.

You come around here

snorting that sh*t?

- I won't have that again. Ever.

- Hey, it's cool, okay?

Go home.

I can't have you working while

you're high. Got it? Go home.

- Christ, you're all worked up.

- And Allan is the new foreman.

Daddy! How much candy

can we get on the ferry?

- Who said you can get candy?

- Come on, Dad!

Andreas, did you find

your Wellies? Great.

- Have you even packed yet?

- Sure. Where's my blue fleece?

- On the clothes-line.

- I'm bringing my Nintendo.

I'll only be ten minutes.

I can give you a 30% discount

for an order this size.

Not good enough.

I need at least 45%.

45? Forget it.

I'll be really generous

and offer you 35%.

It's not enough. I need a better

deal. Thanks for your time.

Halbo, slow down.

Let's not be hasty.

What the hell, I'll give you 40%.

- You've got a deal.

- Sounds good. Let's do it.

You're so hot.

I mean, you're sizzling hot.

You know that?

Dad, we need new fishing rods.

- We've got rods up at the cabin.

- But they're ancient.

- Can't we get some new ones?

- Maybe. We'll see.

Sizzling hot.

You've cleared two levels now.

I haven't even tried it yet.

- Stop it!

- Let her have it.

- It's my machine, too!

- Stop it! It's mine!

Knock it off, you guys.

How about keeping your eyes

on the road?

- Let me have it!

- Enough of that racket!

Andreas,

just give her the Nintendo.

- It's mine, too!

- Will you stop it?

- Give it to me! Andreas!

- Knock that sh*t off!

- Hey, take it easy!

- Carsten, what's up?

They'll be charging us day fines

starting Monday.

- What's that?
