The Inheritance Page #4

It was so stupid.

I was drunk and

he helped me home.

I missed you.

You've got to forgive me.

Can you ever forgive me?

You can't leave!

You can't leave, Christoffer!

You can't leave damn it!

Don't leave!

I won't go away

ever again.

I don't care about my work

as long as we're together.

Christoffer.

Try the new chardonnay.

I think it's good.

Hi.

Hi, Annika.

What a surprise.

I met your Mother this morning

and she invited me.

- Just like the old days.

- Would you like a glass?

Cheers.

- Where is Maria?

- In Stockholm.

Romeo and Juliet

premiere's in a week.

- Then she'll come back?

- I hope so.

She shouldn't have gone.

She's an actress, it's her job.

- I just think she could have waited.

- How long has she been gone?

Nine weeks.

- Annika, you'll sit there.

- Yes.

- Here.

- Thank you.

This won't work.

It won't?

Christoffer,

I was so crazy about you.

Why did you leave me?

- I wasn't in love with you.

- No, you weren't, you ass.

We could have had a good life

together, don't you think?

I have a good life.

Well congratulations then.

He is so tiny and sweet.

Could you take the bag?

He looks like his mother,

doesn't he?

Now you've seen the whole house.

Look at him yawn.

He needs to sleep.

He needs to see his godfather.

See that's Nils.

And that's Holger.

They do need to be shown off.

He's lovely.

- He looks like his father.

- He does.

He's our joy.

That's how the family is.

- Hi, friend.

- Hi.

- Here.

- Thank you very much.

- Did Benedikte come?

- No.

- She stayed out in the car.

- I think she wants to talk to you.

Try to get her to come in.

Hi.

Hi.

He's completely fantastic.

He's so sweet.

He looks like Dad.

Ulrik doesn't know I'm here.

He's doing nothing.

He just sits there staring into space.

I'll talk to Olesen.

They may have something for him.

No, he needs to come back

to the firm. It's his life.

I know there were problems, but...

Benedikte, I can't.

I can't.

"Can't" or "won't"?

Stop that. I can't.

The man was disloyal.

It wasn't just my decision.

Christoffer.

This is so difficult for me.

But I'm begging you,

would you please re-hire Ulrik?

You're as cold as ice.

You're just as cold as ice.

- Benedikte.

- Leave, get out of the car.

- I can't. Don't be silly.

- Get out.

Leave now, Christoffer!

- I've missed you.

- Me too.

What did she want?

You better go out to your mother.

She's waiting for you in the car.

- Will I see you soon, Grandma?

- You will.

Bye, Marie-Louise.

Say hi to your mom.

- Thanks for the flowers.

- You're welcome.

- See you.

- Bye, Grandma.

She wants me to re-hire Ulrik.

Hasn't he been punished enough?

Why can't you try to

be different from them?

Don't pester me.

I know it's been a difficult transition.

But there's no point in regrets.

I...

I can't manage.

Don't talk about your emotions.

Yes, you can.

It's on the verge of success.

It will be different after the merger.

We can't do anything else.

What we're doing is right.

I'm losing Maria.

I am.

I'm losing her.

Are you sure

you don't want to come inside?

I'm going home.

Yes.

Southern France, Lyon Steel

We would like to announce the

merger before the end of the year.

We've booked a table for 9 PM.

Philip, I think

I'd prefer to return home tonight.

Why?

As you know, I've just had a son.

I'd like to be with my family.

- And you, Nils?

- I think it's best I return with you.

Then goodbye.

Goodbye.

- Christoffer, do you have a minute?

- Yes.

I'll go down and

order a taxi.

There's something I have to tell you,

Christoffer.

I had hoped this could wait, but

I need to tell you right away.

There won't be room for Nils

in our new organization.

I know that he means a lot to you -

- but he lacks the skills

for the European market.

And he's too old.

I know.

I know it.

But I'd prefer to wait until

the merger is official.

- Then I'll tell him myself.

- Of course.

- Are you coming out to the plant?

- No, I'm going home.

Hi, Mother, it's Christoffer.

Are Maria and Aksel at your house?

Yes, we came home a day early.

So you don't know where she is?

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Are you back already?

- Where have you been?

I'll just put him down.

- Why didn't you answer your phone?

- It's broken.

I was at my mother's,

at her summerhouse.

- You were due this afternoon.

- What were you doing at the theater?

I went by to show them Aksel.

- Was Alfred there?

- It's got nothing to do with him.

This isn't about Alfred.

It's about you, Christoffer.

What do you mean?

I asked where you were.

What do you want? For me to wait,

like a monkey in this prison?

I never said that.

I never asked for that.

What kind of garbage is that?

I'm trying to rescue the firm

and it's so close to failing.

Maybe I'm doing it

for your sake as well.

- So it's my fault you're never home?

- I'm not saying that.

I'm just asking where you were.

What's going on? Right?

- I told you.

- You haven't told me, damn it!

- You're never here.

- Because I'm working!

I know that.

It's sick how much you work.

- For your sake too, right?

- For my sake?

You're lying to yourself.

We haven't made love in months.

Why?

Because you can't any more.

Can't you admit it?

You're so cold,

so sad and cold.

I hate this life and everything you've

done to us. Do you know that?

You lack nothing.

What about that car?

Stop it! I can live just as well

without all of this sh*t.

Christoffer is upstairs.

I'll check you in.

We land at 11:
30.

If the plane isn't delayed,

we'll be at the plant by 1:30.

Yes, I look forward to it.

We're looking forward to

dinner tomorrow night.

Good bye.

It's a great piece of work. This merger

will be noticed all over Europe.

I brought a couple of glasses

so we could celebrate.

We need to be at the gate

in five minutes.

Yes, it will have to wait

until we get back.

Well, then good luck.

We're coming.

We'll just take care of

the last details in France -

- and then we'll take two weeks off,

all by ourselves.

I've just seen a picture of the house.

It looks fantastic.

- I've organized a crib.

- Great.

Come, Mira.

Villa Les Oliviers,

the South of France

Welcome to "Les Oliviers".

Have you had a nice trip?

Yes, thank you.

It's perfect.

- I ordered a baby crib.

- It's in the children's room.

I'll leave the key on the table.

I live in the annex.

If you need anything, call me.

Enjoy your vacation.

A toast to our two firms,

which today became one.

Cheers.

I've done the math.

This makes us one of Europe's

In three years, we'll be the biggest.

America is buying less steel in Europe.

I think they'll erect a tariff

embargo within the next year -

- so it will be impossible to export

our steel to America.

Europe's steelmakers

will go to war with each other.

If we're not the biggest,

we'll never survive.

The goal is to be Europe's biggest

steelmaker in three years.

I'm looking forward to

the collaboration.

I think we've got
