- Look, I'm busy.

You'll have to talk to someone else.

- But...

You shouldn't be running here.

It's the hunting season.

It's at your own risk...

My God, it's Mik, isn't it?

I can't believe it. It's Kenneth.

- What the hell!

I didn't recognize you.

- Likewise.

How are you?

- Can't complain.

Are you staying at the house?

- Yes, I came to do some work.

You seem to be in great shape.

Do you play ice hockey still?

It's been a while.

- How about you?

- It's hard to keep up, you know.

It's great to see you.

- Likewise...

Are you still in the public sector?

- Yeah, what about you?

Well, still here as you can see,

looking after the house and stuff.

I still live right overt here.

It's not exactly Graceland, but there's

a cold beer, if you wanna come by...

Sounds nice, but I have a lot to do.

- There's always time for beer.

Esben and Rickard

will be there tomorrow.

Are you still in touch with them?

- On and off.

You won't believe this,

but Esben is with the police now.

They're great guys.

You should drop by tomorrow.

I should be back in a month or so.

I'll pop in then.

Don't worry too much, Mik...

It'll give you a headache.

I'd better get on with things...

It was good to see you.

You too.

See you...

Well, what do you know, it's Mik.

How nice.

You're sure it's okay?

- 'Course. Come on in.

We're right in here.

It's Mik.

- What the hell...!

Hi, Mikael

- Hi, Rickard... Esben.

Long time, no see...

- Grab a seat.

Thanks.

How's the match?

- Well...

It depends

who you support.

The score is 0-0, moron.

Well, what's up, Mikael? How long

is it since you've been down here?

Well, how long is it, Kenneth?

- 20 years, I guess.

Time flies.

What about your mother?

Is she still alive?

Yeah. She's at the nursing home now.

Not doing much.

Is she still f***ing around?

Well, she is getting old, you know...

There must be plenty to choose from

in a nursing home though.

Why don't you both shut up.

More beers, anyone?

Selma, tell Grandma

what you've just had.

Glandular fever.

- Kissing disease.

It was no fun.

- Who've you been kissing?

I don't know.

That's the funny thing. If Dad was

here, he would have punched him.

Hi, it's me. I tried to catch

you on your mobile. I can't...

We miss you.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry I was so angry

when you called the other day.

You can stay longer if you want.

Just call, if... something, okay?

Okay.

Bye, darling.

Hi, Mik.

- What's up?

I just wanted to say I'm sorry about

those two, when you came over.

Don't worry about it.

- They haven't changed a bit.

It looks that way.

Rickard can't take you're being

cleverer than him. He never could.

I know. In his case,
