- Yes?
- Your clients are here.
I'll be right out.
Michael Helge here is
our finest tax attorney.
You won't find anyone better than him.
Well, you will, but they're in jail.
As I said, our research back to 2004
clearly indicates -
- that your fund is transparent, and so
only its earnings are subject to tax.
I don't quite follow.
It means
we just earned you a bundle.
With retrospective application
minus our fee of
That'll do for now.
Let's wrap this up, shall we?
- Maybe someone's already told you.
- Yes?
You've put on too little.
What?
Think hard,
and I'm sure you know what I mean.
You mean
Yes, you're understamped.
According to the new postal rates -
- a letter of that size and weight
requires a DKK 25 stamp.
Have a nice day.
Michael Helge, come in.
Whisky?
Water, please. I'm working.
Sure.
- You're going to the South of France.
- What have I done?
What do you mean?
Nothing at all.
It's a divorce case.
I don't know them.
They had their villa appraised at
DKK 20 million, the wife wants half
It's all in the file.
- Consider it a bonus holiday.
- Holiday? I can't.
You need to loosen up. You don't even
take off your tie in your spare time.
What spare time?
Go to the South of France
and get these two signatures -
- and try to loosen up down there.
When you return, we'll have a
reception where I make you a partner.
Let's kill two birds with one stone.
Get the last thing settled.
Propose to Lydia.
- It would be a smart move
- Very smart.
Because that would make it
tax-deductible.
Michael Helge
- Let's not tell Lydia.
- I can't keep anything from Lydia.
It's an order.
Will do.
Lydia, toots?
We agreed that pet names were a
degrading term for your friend/partner.
- It's disrespectful.
- Sure, pumpkin Lydia.
Did Dad say that reception had other
agendas than you becoming a partner?
No, he didn't.
No.
- I bet it's steaming hot in France.
- So buy a pair of shorts.
No shorts. I'm a grown man.
Sun and sand makes
my mood drop to 15%.
I bet it can rise to 25%
like when we were in Wales.
I hate the French. Five European
countries still practice the siesta.
They all have poor economies,
and France is one of those countries.
Do as Dad says. Go settle that
divorce, relax and come back home.
France Sh*t.
I'm a princess.
- Why can't kids grow up?
- Please put your bag on the band.
Passport, please.
- Hello? Hey there!
- Unbelievable!
Melge? Melge!
It's me, Theo the Man.
Let's shake, let's shake.
Let's shake Herlufsholm style.
Remember?
Hell!
F***, you're fat.
What's all this?
The girls gotta see this.
Hey, girls.
This is my old buddy.
We went to
Herlufsholm Boarding School.
We were roomies.
It's been 20 years. Man!
- I bet you do something awesome.
- I'm an attorney.
- A tax attorney.
- Seriously?
Congratulations, my good man.
How's the p*ssy factor?
- What?
- P-u-s-s-y. Does it get you any?
- Wanna go to a party?
- No.
Why not?
Let's reminisce about old times.
I'm here on business, and I don't have
time to meet and reminisce.
Please excuse me.
I'm waiting for my bag.
Melge.
Let's get outta here.
Do you guys know Basshunter?
He's cool.
"I know a boat. It's called Anna ..."
Can I help you?
I've had it!
- Winther Schmidt Host and Partners.
- Ouest.
Ouest.
I'll check.
French clown.
Any luggage?
Hello, Madame.
Hello, Monsieur.
Oh no.
Sorry, but I couldn't help overhearing.
You're Danish, and in trouble?
- I'm Marianne.
- Michael Helge Hansen.
- My wallet has been stolen.
- How awful. You feel almost naked.
- I can't accept that.
- Tips go a long way down here.
I've booked a table on the terrace
tonight. Join me for dinner?
It's extremely generous of you
to lend me money.
- You'll get it back with interest.
- You must think me awful.
- What?
- Picking up strangers in a hotel.
No, not at all.
- I don't do it every day.
- Of course not.
- No wine?
- I don't like to lose control.
Not that I don't enjoy
a nice glass of wine.
I've enjoyed several over the years.
Well, I think you should enjoy
a nice glass of wine with me -
- to show your gratitude.
Monsieur. Fill it up.
You look like you need to
Oh, what's the Danish word for it?
Loosen up a little.
What could happen?
We're in the South of France.
- Well
- Cheers.
Nice.
Wow.
FANTASTIC NIGH MIAW
- Hello Hi, Lydia.
- Are you still in bed?
- No, I've been up for hours.
- Have you caught a cold?
I'm just a little winded
from doing push-ups.
I'm gonna hang up now.
Bye.
- You're the attorney?
- Yes. Michael Helge Hansen.
Was it a rough night?
A little unga bunga at la chunga?
- Not at all. It's the heat.
- Great though, isn't it? Sit down.
I've ordered us some lunch.
Rose and oysters.
- Thanks, but I don't drink wine.
- They serve the best oysters here.
Cheers.
And welcome to the South of France.
As you know,
my wife and I are getting a divorce.
It's not to my liking,
but she seems determined.
I've had the agents look at our villa,
and the appraisal is DKK 20 million.
So my wife stands to get 10 million.
There she is.
The attorney is here.
- Marianne.
- Michael Helge Hansen.
Here comes the seafood. Oysters,
sea snails, crab claws, big prawns.
Help yourself,
as we say in France.
We have a little paperwork
to get through.
I need both of you to sign these three
documents. Bottom right-hand corner.
Are you enjoying yourself
down here?
You will get my signature
as soon as -
- my firm's bank has confirmed
the agreement-
- that you have transferred the money
to your sex wife ex-wife's account.
Hang on. We were supposed to settle
this once and for all at this meeting.
It's a matter of procedure. Everything
will be settled in a couple of days.
Look, I've transferred 10 million
to my wife's account.
You know French banks.
It may take several weeks before she
gets the money. I need a guarantee.
- Calm down, Bob.
- No.
We're here because you've got it into
your head that you want a divorce.
And now we have to waste
our time on procedure -
- because they sent a trainee.
You're not authorized to do anything.
Or do you want me
to contact Winther Schmidt?
One call,
and he'll solve this issue on the spot.
Absolutely not.
I've decided to deviate
from my principles.
I'm choosing to sign this.
That means
that within an hour or so -
- the money will be
in your ex-wife's account.
I'm afraid I'll have to pass
on the seafood.
Thank you for an orderly meeting.
I'm extremely busy.
- I have to push on.
- Bye.
- There's a
- Thank you.
Hi, Lydia.
- I'm on my way home.
- Why?
I know your dad wants me to stay,
but I've had it.
- Hang on.
- Is anything wrong?
- I'm back.
- Don't you know how to relax?
- Sure I do.
- You sound so
Let's do that giant puzzle
when I come home.
- Monsieur!
- Call you back, pumpkin.
Yes, Winther?
Hello, Dad.
- Have you got a handle on it?
- Everything's just fine.
