The Inheritance Page #2

at least a hundred workers.

And we have to merge

within the next two years.

We've had an offer from

Lyon Steel in France.

And you'll have to do the merger.

You're the only one that can do it.

- Dad wanted Ulrik to be the director.

- Ulrik's no good, he lacks the talent.

Father always wanted you to

take over the firm.

Your choice to leave the firm 4 years

ago was your choice, never ours.

We don't have much time. You have to

inform the employees in half an hour.

You're unhappy now

because your father is dead.

We'll talk about it at home,

but we can't decide here.

We have to. I have to tell

- and they need to know

who's taking over.

The situation changed. I have to

help my family. Can't you see?

No, I can't see.

I love you and I want to help you.

But this is wrong. I won't do it.

You said you lost 30 pounds when

you worked here and nearly died.

This isn't what you want to do,

Christoffer.

I know.

I know you.

We've talked about it and I...

We've decided that it's not going

to work. I can't do this.

Well.

We'll just have to deal with it.

Damn, it's Christoffer!

- Hi, Jens.

- Damn, it's been a long time.

It's so good to see you.

- Hello, Jens Monsted.

- Maria.

- My wife.

- What brings you down here?

Dad's dead.

That's impossible.

I saw him on Friday.

- We were over in the warehouse.

- He died yesterday.

You better get over to the shed.

It is with deep sorrow that,

on behalf of my family -

- I have to tell you that

my father died yesterday.

My mother, Annelise, now owns

the controlling stake in the firm -

- and at an extraordinary board

meeting this afternoon -

- she will inform the board -

- I will take over as director, in

accordance with the family's wishes.

I would like to underline that

the change in leadership -

- will not have any consequences

for the firm's employees.

I will pick up where

my father left off.

Finally, I'd ask we all show

my father the respect -

- of remembering him with

a moment of silence.

- You can't do this. It's too much.

- Ulrik, do we have to discuss it now?

Will you fail the family

like last time?

- I'm staying.

- You're staying?

I've worked here for 15 years.

I was to take charge after Aksel.

I've been a part of this family.

I was told nothing about this.

Nils, why didn't you tell me?

The decision was taken

with Annelise.

Why wasn't I told? Why did I have to

feel like an idiot out there?

We worked together, Nils. We spent

You must stop shouting

and accept it.

I was supposed to take over

after Aksel.

I didn't ask for it.

Aksel asked me to.

I never wanted this.

Why didn't anyone ask me?

I know you thought you were taking
