Say what?

You want me to use all my savings

on entering you into a poker game.

- Are you mad?

- I haven't got that kind of money.

- Do you know the odds?

- It's what I do.

I'll get your 10 million back,

so you can go home.

I didn't f*** around

and get hustled.

No, you're too busy sniffing

cocaine off a butt horse.

- It's a pony, and it's called Fanny.

- Precisely.

It's a closed game

for stupid rich tourists.

Just get me the buy-in

and leave the rest to me.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime game!

- Just like that Jelling comet

- Halley's.

- That only appears every 7th

- 76th year.

Exactly!

That's the kind of game it is.

Look... You've got the dough,

I've got the talent.

- There must be an easier way.

- Call your father-in-law.

- Oh no.

- I'm so stoked!

- This is great! I'm gonna do a line.

- To celebrate.

To celebrate what?

That we're doing a line.

You already lost 10 million.

Have you got a choice?

I guess not.

Okay.

Hello, Ole.

This is Michael Helge Hansen.

Sorry to call you after hours.

It's about my pension fund.

I'd like you to transfer the money

to a French account.

Alright.

Serve the lobster!

Need help with that?

It's going to attack me now.

To get its revenge.

Ugly or not, they're cute.

Just like kids.

I don't really like cooking

Morten and Peter.

You named them?

Well, in that case

we just can't kill them.

- No.

- Tell you what Let's release them.

- No.

- Yes.

- We can't.

- Sure we can. Let's do it.

- What about dinner?

- We'll think of something.

- Voil. Canned crab.

- They think they're having lobster.

- What are they gonna say?

- Nothing. They won't notice a thing.

Some blind tasting.

Alright!

This is delish!

Melge, it's fantastic.

- Pasta, pesto, the lobster

- The lobster is great.

Awesome.

What a great idea to grate it.

It was great, Melge.

Delish.

- Sure.

- Melge!

- It's my entire life savings.

- Congrats! We're in.

- What if we lose?

- We won't.

- But what if we lose?

- We won't, because I know my sh*t.

How do you think I won this boat?

Chill out. Have a drink.

Everything's gonna be okay.

You'll get your millions back soon.

Hey, let's all go skinny dipping.

Without any clothes.

No way.

- Way!

- I'm game.

Go!

Good morning, Louise.

A cup of morning coffee for you.

Good morning, Michael Helge.

- Did they get any sleep at all?

- No.

They did this skinny theme all night.

When I went to bed, they'd just

started their "skinny rose' relay".

"Skinny rose' relay"?

The last thing I heard

was Theo shouting "skinny limbo".

Come swimming with Dad!

Come on, buddy!

- Coming.

- Alright!

- You're not going in?

- No.

I can't swim.

- But you can dog-paddle.

- No.

- I can teach you to swim.

- Why would you teach me to swim?

Well, if you stay on a boat

for several days

That wasn't part of the plan.

Everything's gone haywire down here.

One catastrophe after the other.

Fine.

I'm sorry.

Not everything's been bad.

What do you mean?

I mean

Maybe you should teach me to swim.

We could start by dipping our toes.

That's a deal, Michael Helge.

Mom!

- Hi, sweetie.

- Hi, Mom.

Hi. Who are you?

Are you on coke again?

I demand to know.

I'm not on anything.

I was doing swim practice.

You're splashing about with

a porno doll with a horse on her ass.

It's a pony called Fanny. Sille's got

a great attitude to ass Forget it.

You are on something,

and I won't let you see Philip.

I'm not on anything.

It's as simple as that.

That's not mine.

- Are you gonna search the boat?

- Yes.

You won't find anything.

A towel hasn't got pockets.

If you want to make out, just say so.

Oh, give me a break.

If I find any coke,

I'll never let you see him again.

- Got all your Lego?

- Yes.

- This is for you.

- What is it?

- I sent it twice. You never replied.

- By mail? I never got it.

- Just take it.

- Is it important?

You'd better talk to my attorney then.

Melge!

- This is my attorney. Read this.

- That's your attorney?

Excuse the get-up. Michael Helge,

Winther Schmidt Heist and Partners.

And that's your accountant, and the

girl with the fish is your bank lady?

Impressive line-up, Theo.

- Have a great party. Let's go.

- Philip

- Ready?

- In a minute.

I love having you over on weekends.

You know that, don't you?

See you.

Take good care of Mom.

Grown-up time! Sille, you're in

for a life-changing moment now.

Great! Do I need to wear my goggles?

Let me show you why diving sucks.

Look closely.

Oh no!

Theo!

Goddamn!

- Why didn't you respond?

- Who the f*** reads all their mail?

- Normal people do.

- It's such a f***ing drag.

- Are you okay?

- No. That dive gave me a rash.

- Let's go below. I'll kiss it better.

- Let's!

- I meant the papers.

- Theo's ex is suing for full custody.

- It's not gonna happen.

- You live on a boat.

You don't have a legitimate income.

You snort cocaine.

- You're gonna lose custody like that.

- And Sophia drives a station wagon.

A Volvo station wagon.

- So give her custody. Who cares?

- Who cares?

All it means is she has the number

to the dentist and the school login.

She wants to move to Denmark.

You'll lose contact with Philip.

- She can't.

- But she will.

What do you want me to do?

Good morning, girls.

- Coffee?

- Good morning.

Well?

- Did you have it off up here?

- No. He's been preparing your case.

Great!

But bummer too, huh?

- I won't lie to you. It looks bad.

- Oh?

I'll talk to the attorney. But you have

to shut up and do as I say.

- Sure.

- Good. Prepare for a day on my turf.

Dad! I didn't know

I was gonna see you today.

Sophia.

We'll be right out.

You can't do that!

I've been offered a job in Denmark,

and I intend to take Philip with me.

- You know I can't go back.

- Why did you snort out your brain?

Take two.

- Anything wrong, Dad?

- No. Dad just needs some air.

We're all done in five minutes.

- They want you to do a urine test.

- Why?

You're on cocaine.

The doctor's coming.

- But I can't!

- Face the music.

Do the test,

and I'll deal with the results. Okay?

Philip

Think you can pee for Dad?

Give me those papers.

But that can't be!

They had you up against the wall.

It was the only way out.

Sorry.

I thought it was icing sugar.

What kind of idiot keeps coke

in a sugar bowl?

I guess rehab is a good idea.

When do I start?

- The day after tomorrow.

- But I can't.

What is more important than your son?

- That poker game.

- No.

You're going to rehab

or you lose Philip.

- I have to be at that poker game.

- We need to get the buy-in back.

You can't get it back.

It's not like renting a holiday home.

We spent that money

on an exclusive, illegal poker game.

We spent my savings Illegal?

I knew it was a bad idea.

It's my entire life's savings.

I've lost everything.

I was going to become a partner.

Those savings were meant

to sweeten my third age.

Michael Helge,

let's get on with the swim practice.

Why don't you do something more
