a bright future together.

- Let us toast Bovar Steel.

- Europe's largest.

I'm sorry, but

I've got a terrible headache.

- I think I need to go and lie down.

- You can't go, darling.

I'm sorry.

It's been very nice to meet you.

Stay where you are.

Then we won't wake up Aksel.

Good night.

Get home safely.

Thank you,

it was a lovely evening.

It's been a good day.

Drive safe.

Mira...

I'm leaving now.

I know the merger's

been a nightmare.

You said two years,

Christoffer.

Have you forgotten?

I promise it will be different now,

I promise.

I've booked the tickets.

Aksel and I are flying home today.

I won't do it any more.

You'll have to continue alone.

Maria, you know

I can't live without you.

You can't do this, I want you to stay.

I don't want you to go.

No.

I know.

What are you doing!?

Help!

Stop it!

Can't you hear me?

Stop! No!

Are you sick?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

I don't want your money!

Are you crazy?

I don't want it!

I'm sorry.

Leave!

Leave me alone!

I'm paying to be here!

I'm paying to be left in peace.

Christoffer?

Christoffer?

Christoffer, get up.

You can't lie there.

Christoffer, get up.

- She left.

- I know.

Forget her, Christoffer.

She was wrong from the start.

If only I had said it,

this never would have happened.

Maria never had

the talent or the will.

If only I'd said it,

this never would have happened.

You've got the talent.

You were born

to take this responsibility.

Benedikte is weak like her father.

You're like me.

You're just like me.

- Hi, Christoffer.

- Hi.

Ulrik, I want to be completely

honest with you.

If it weren't for Benedikte,

I never would have re-hired you.

What you did to the firm and

the family was unforgivable.

But Benedikte has chosen

to be loyal to you and I respect that.

I'm hiring you as the human

resources manager.

Your office will be up here, even

though position doesn't warrant it.

Thank you very much.

You won't regret.

I promise.

- You won't.

- Good. That was all.

Thank you.

- Good evening.

- Hi, Ulrik.

- Take off your coat.

- Thanks.

- Hi.

- Hi.

It's nice to see you again.

I'd like to welcome you to dinner,

here at Wesselsminde.

As it's the first time,

I hope we can live up to tradition -

- so we can host it

every second time.

Cheers,

and welcome.

Cheers.

- Cheers, Grandma.

- Cheers, darling.

I'll let the chef present

what we're having tonight.

Good evening.

We'll start with a lobster salad with

mango, ginger, and peanut oil.

The main course is snipe foie gras

with truffles -

- served on a compote of Jerusalem

artichokes, chestnuts and mushrooms.

The dessert will be a

Baba au Calvados.

Should I come to the

press conference in Paris?

The merger with Lyon will be

the end of our collaboration.

The firm is stabilized and

the clean up is over.

I've enjoyed our collaboration,

but I'm afraid that's that. I'm sorry.

- But is it wise?

- Lyon has a man with the same skills.

I've agreed with them

that he'll be in charge.

You will of course get whatever

separation package you want.

What the hell do you want me to do?

Enjoy life.

- Get home safe.

- We'll drive home with you.

- It went well.

- Yes.

- Adam was a great idea.

- Yes.

Thanks.

Want a glass of wine

in the office?

- Yes, I would.

- Okay.

I've called you here to share

some good news with you -

- before the rest of the world hears it.

Borch Moller Steel and Lyon Steel

have merged -

- under the name Bovar Steel.

"Bo" for Borch Moller and

"Var" for Varmiere -

- the French family that

founded Lyon Steel.

The new organization means we will

be able to create 29 positions -

- and re-hire some

of the former employees.

I'd also need to announce

that Nils Ringhoff -

- has chosen to leave after

Stockholm, 2 Years Later

You look good.

Thanks.

I'm doing good too.

We're doing fine.

You're welcome to visit us

if you want to.

We still live in the old apartment.

If you want to spend the night...

I'm going home tomorrow, but we

could eat tonight, if you'd like.

I can't.

I've got a performance.

You could come and see it.

We could go home to

my place afterwards.

I'd like that very much.

I've got to go now.

My babysitter is coming.

- And I've got to shop.

- But I'll see you tonight, right?

Come at 7:
30. I'll make sure

there's a ticket waiting for you.

Pass me the spray.

- He's coming to the performance.

- Who?

- Christoffer.

- Christoffer?

- Are you back together?

- No.

I just met him on the street.

I was so happy to see him.

- Girls, you're on in ten minutes.

- Be right there.

- You're on now.

- I can't. Not tonight.

Yes, you can.

- Come on, you're on now.

- You can.

Now.

Come on.
