Why?!
- No ... - Last verse!
Welcome to Stormester.
Five well-known Danes entertain me with solutions to tasks -
- from the genius to the gruesome. I'm Lasse Rimmer.
The participants are Anders Breinholt.
Neel Rønholt.
Mahamad Habane.
Annika Aakjær.
And Jakob Thrane.
How nice to sit next to Mark Le Fêvre.
Le Fêvre is French and means "kratluskeren". [dark beer]
- What happened to you? - Anything special you're thinking of?
I've become smoking hot.
This is primarily because you're like someone you've seen before.
- I knew you would appreciate it. - Certainly.
Let's get started. What are we playing for tonight?
One of the participants has brought a personal item, which is at stake.
- Who brought the prize? - Neel Rønholt.
- Yes. - What did you bring?
I have brought my Tinka Santa hat with me.
In addition to being difficult to get hold of -
- it will also be difficult to make a 3 without it.
There isn't much pixie in a pixie mom without a hat.
So we play for Neel's Tinka hat.
Many parents will gnaw on other parents' arteries -
- to get their fingers on it.
Mark, what's the first task? What delicious starter do we get?
We start with something delicious.
If one likes watermelon, which everyone does.
- Welcome. - Thanks.
Please put on the suit and goggles before reading.
What are we going to do?
Please put on the suit and goggles.
Please, or should I?
I'll just read the task first.
- "Watermelon is in the lab." - "Eat the most watermelon."
"Eat the most watermelon."
- "You have one minute." - "Time starts when you open the door to the lab."
- It's right next door. - Delicious.
I don't like watermelon very much.
In my family, we aren't very fond of cucumbers.
And watermelon is the cucumber of fruit.
- Is the task understood? - Eat melon for one minute.
It's been several years since I ate watermelon.
- Are you coming? - Gladly.
I agree that you're not crazy about watermelon.
But how many understand it better by calling it the cucumber of fruit?
- It's true. - Thanks. I stand by that, too.
I compare two indifferent things. Cucumbers and watermelons are just water.
- But water can do something. - No one quenches thirst with cucumber.
Then you take a glass of water.
Are you saying that cucumber is just a worse way to store water?
It's just water with peel.
I think we should get over the watermelon hater Jakob Thrane.
He is cut together with Anders, who greatly appreciates watermelon.
- Love it. - Here it comes.
- No ... - There it is.
It must be cut open. Has the time started?
Oh yes...
Mamma mia.
- And time's up. - What?
- May I go now? - Yes...
What happened to you, Jakob Thrane?
I'm not proud when I see it there.
It looks a little sick.
It's family entertainment, but the gags were real.
- Anders is something completely different. - I love melon.
When I'm in a space with Mark, I get happy all over.
Also when I eat watermelon. I stared at Mark.
Okay. Try to listen. We have become wiser with the tasks.
There was nothing that could help one separate the watermelon.
And the time begins when the participant enters.
That's crucial. Had anyone prepared better?
I have a clip with someone who has seen through it -
- and laid out a plan and is prepared. And Annika Aakjær is also involved.
Can you eat watermelon, too? Time starts now. Come on, Mark.
Oh, we have to cut it, too. Stay here.
Knife.
- 50 seconds, Annika. - Where are the knives?
- Good watermelon. - It doesn't count.
I should have taken a knife before.
Eat. Take for yourself.
Time's up.
- Time's up. - It was breakfast.
There is a bit of a panic mood. You come with three knives.
You put all three of them and then pick up the first one again.
- You're a little panicked. - I thought time had started.
Since you read the task?
No, she thinks time starts with her shouting.
- How long did it take to get the knives? - Half the time.
- But we were two who ate. - You only used one knife.
Does that give a bonus?
Your bonus was the idea that you asked Mark to eat with you.
- And so Mark did. - It was wise to bring Mark along.
I love watermelon, but thought it got a little violent.
- Mark said he loves watermelon. - I'm not talking like that.
I should have asked him to eat. "I think it's delicious."
- Good Mark imitation. - No, it's not that good.
- "I like watermelon." - Four years at theater school.
There was strong preparation and frantic preparation.
- How well did they do? - We can start from the bottom.
- Oh yeah... - You ate 16 grams of watermelon.
It's a new personal record.
Neel, you ingested 280 grams. 17 times as much as Jakob.
With my help, Annika ate a full 371 grams.
So far, the beast Breinholt leads, who has ingested 389 grams.
I'm so strong in mental arithmetic that I can figure out we're missing one.
Exactly. He works differently.
"Your time starts when you open the door to the lab."
Can I blend it?
Mark, are you in? After all, my time only starts when I step in.
Mark, you just need some more stuff.
Damn, Mark.
- Summer power shake for Habane. - How delicious it looks.
Wow, how nice.
One more round, please. Strongly made.
I can't. It is otherwise a good smoothie.
Fuck, how delicious. Thanks for that, Mark.
Smart to let Mark do the work.
It was a little unwise that I used straws.
I give Mark some ice cubes that he could put in eventually.
But he blends them. As a child, I was suffocated by an ice cube.
I'm scared to get a piece of ice cube in my mouth.
That’s why I used straws. Otherwise I could have drunk it.
- It went a little wrong. - And you think I'm the weird one.
You're scared of a small piece of ice.
How much watermelon did Mahamad get?
It actually turns into a full 593 grams.
Mark, we are in season 4. We have played with watermelons before.
However, this is the first time without heart attacks.
I want to see a task that goes deeper emotionally.
I have something that you can call a real tearjerker.
- Hi, Neel. - Hi there.
- Goddamn it. Tissues. - Did you crochet that?
I'm crazy about this.
- There's something on it. - That's the task.
- "Make a movie." - "And make the Taskmaster cry."
- Was it realistic? - "You have one hour."
- "Time starts now." - Okay.
- A movie that makes him cry. - A sad movie.
- What do we know about Lasse? - We can kidnap his children.
His girlfriend has an illness. Shall we kill her?
- What are you crying about? - Many things.
He shouldn't be upset. He needs to think about his childhood.
If I gave you a makeover ... Would he cry over it?
- I can also just film an onion. - What genre do you think?
- Romantic comedy. - I will be back.
I'll return.
I was shocked that Anders Breinholt wanted to kidnap the Taskmaster's kids.
But kill my girlfriend? That's a movie we have to make.
Well, I also went away from that idea.
It's connected like this -
- that your girlfriend is my biggest fan.
It's a shame to lose her. We would both think so.
Yes, she boosts our self-esteem.
I'm excited to see the movies. Who should we see first, Mark?
Oh well...
It's slavish, but he did not lie when he said he would film an onion.
Here is Charlotte Skalotte. She really wants a boyfriend.
- I'm totally single and ready. - She was on dates all the time.
What would you like to drink? Maybe a Squaaaash?
- We're just going up here. - Uh, goddamn it.
As a person, I'm probably a lucky potato.
But when they got into the bedroom and Charlotte took off her layers -
- they all started crying.
Aren't you coming up to me, you naughty guy?
No, I just think I should go home and soak.
Charlotte was bewildered. Until her friend Tina came by.
Charlotte, I have the perfect date for you.
He has so many layers.
A lot of people think I'm sarcastic. If I get enough time, I'm sweet.
I feel totally the same way.
Right at that moment, they were hammering in love.
They lived happily ever after.
Which was a few days later where their owner wanted sausage mix.
What was your vision for the onion film?
What is more sad than hopeless love?
We work with several layers. People start crying from onions.
And then I chopped the onions at last.
Yes, you didn't start crying, but I did. I was there.
- You chopped the onions. - It should have been 4-D.
- Yes, and happening. - Where the bulbs appeared there.
- Here on stage? - We'll take it again. Do we have an onion?
It is a nice and sweet story with a surprising ending.
But vegetable puns do not make me cry.
- No tears. So who are we going to see? - We jump to Neel Rønholt.
A tale that has changed my life from the neck up.
- I'm completely touched by the thought. - Yes, you do.
Time for another makeover. Today I have to help poor Mark.
He struggles with a lot of things.
It's one of the worst cases I've seen, but we're helping him.
Ow ow ow. It's not good.
My first impression is wow, Mark needs my help.
Don't you want to tell me and the viewers a little about -
- what you've been struggling with all your life?
It goes without saying. It's now or never for Mark.
- You've come to the right place. - Have I?
I can help you.
Time for another makeover. Let's get started.
Wow.
I'm as ready as I can get.
It's been cool, and you've been a hard nut to crack -
- but I think we succeeded very well.
Are you ready to meet your new self? Here you go.
- Oh boy. - Look at you now, Mark.
- Fantastic... - I look like him.
- I really look like him. - Yes...
I'm happy. It's tears of joy.
Whew ...
If you can ignore that you choose a makeover -
- where he should look like another human being -
- you actually hit a genre that I quite like.
He was also ugly before you started.
Thanks for the movie. May I have some more?
First, I want to note -
- that it was not my idea, and that I tried to dissuade it.
Mahamad Habane.
So ...
What was the plan?
If I ruined your house, you might start crying.
I'm getting more annoyed. You're ruining my stuff.
That's why I change houses every single season.
That's stupid, too.
You smash the ukulele. How can we now impress Pakistan's ambassador?
I hadn't thought of that at the time.
- There is another possibility. - We still have Annika.
- Can we really see that? - I would also like to see it.
No, no, no...
- You were happy about that. - I was looking forward to it.
I can best summarize my experience like this, Mahamad Habane:
- Dad's a little disappointed. - Close to crying. It's enough.
But is that enough for me? I have to judge your film.
- Who are we going to see now? - We get answers to two questions.
Are dogs the cutest in the world?
And is Anders Breinholt mentally ill?
Look. Aren't they just some cute little creatures?
Where are they just cute babies.
But unfortunately they have to get away from here. They must die now.
The only way the cute puppies can survive -
- is about Lasse Rimmer finishing the task I have been given.
I need to make you cry.
You can decide if these animals should survive.
You do this by getting a tear in your eye. The task is for you to be touched.
These dogs die before dawn if you are not touched.
So Lasse Rimmer ... Five to Anders Breinholt, and a tear in your eye.
- You sick pig. - Can I see, Lasse? There's a little.
You can't know -
- that I owned a dog who became seriously ill.
It began to crawl into dark closets.
At the vet we were told that it had a heart defect.
It had 14 days to live and would die in pain.
I was standing with the dog in my arms as life disappeared out of it.
It may not be because of your movie, Anders Breinholt -
- but you nailed something there.
You spared no expense. I like that.
Now we will experience Annika Aakjær in the role of Taskmaster Lasse Rimmer -
- and Mark Le Fêvre in the role of Taskmaster Lasse Rimmer.
Well, for crying out loud.
Find your ideal partner to have for the rest of your life. Time starts now!
Hi, my name is Lasse. Is your name also Lasse?
- Do you like food? - I actually know that well.
- Do you also have a high IQ? - More than you might think.
Ouch!
- Lasse? - Lasse ...
- There's something I want to ask. - What could it be?
- Will you marry me? - If I want to.
- Is that right? - Yes.
Well, then I have solved my task.
You make me laugh.
What a disturbing twist!
I heard Neel gasp.
I experience it as Pretty Woman meets Fight Club.
And Titanic.
A lonely, powerful person looking for a partner to share life with.
Time starts now.
You need to find someone to share life with. Find your most ideal partner.
Time starts now. You have the rest of your life.
I want to say ... We know very well ...
You love your girlfriend and dog. But you are most happy with ...
You must be so happy that I think -
- in addition to all the references, is a small masterpiece.
It is very cleverly put together.
I'm ready with the points. From the bottom up.
I'm not that much touched. More annoyed. Mahamad.
One point. Unfortunately.
High on onions, low on sadness. Jakob Thrane, two points.
Distinguished narrative. I was almost touched. Neel Rønholt.
The two best films were by Anders Breinholt and Annika Aakjær.
Five points for Annika, four for Anders.
- What does it do to the position? - Two are in the lead.
Annika Aakjær and Anders Breinholt.
- Mark, where are we going now? - A quick trip to the wild west.
- Good day. - Good day.
Or as we say in the West, howdy.
Hi, Annika. Or as they say in the West, howdy.
- Howdy. - Howdy.
Hello, cowboy.
Hi Jakob. Or as they say in the Wild West, howdy.
What's going on? What is it?
He then says howdy to people when they say howdy.
I just have to throw it at you. Then you can get your howdy.
- Lasso ... - Lasso Mark. Does it say that?
- Lasso Mark. - Lasso Mark.
- That's how you pronounce it. - Shall I whip you?
Then you take a lasso, and then ...
No.
"Stand behind your line throughout the task."
"Mark must also stand behind his line."
"Fastest lassoed Mark wins."
- "Your time started when you said ..." - "Howdy." How annoying you are.
Have I said it before?
- Did I say that? - You could have just left.
Let's get you down.
Howdy, Mark. Then there must be lassoes.
- And don't whip. - This is how we do in my family.
The word is not used that often, but we scratch the rules again.
They are behind "your" line. I stand behind "his" line.
The lines are named. The time started with "howdy".
- There must be many approaches. - Yes. I cut two together.
One is original, fast, and quite well resolved.
And then we will also see Neel Rønholt.
Can you turn the track a little?
It's also annoying that you can't fold it.
- What are you doing, Habane? - I'm coming right over here.
We are technically both behind our lines now.
- I'm not even close. - No.
- What should we do? - We need it over there.
It needs to stand up here.
Yes, thank you, man.
Can you stick your head out a little?
- How do you think it's going? - Badly.
I'm completely calm. I've got it.
- Are we behind our lines? - Yes, his and yours.
The lasso.
It says ... I don't know. I'm making a new "my line".
Now you're powerless.
It could have gone very wrong.
Mahamad, how do you end up in the swing set?
I lassoed it almost the first time.
- "Drop a rope on Mark." - It's only later in the program.
- How long did it take for Mahamad? - It went fairly fast.
- Six minutes and 32 seconds. - Then I just hate that it's hard.
Neel ... What about you and throwing technique?
I can't throw anything. I can't grab either.
The crucial thing is that you have to stand behind your line throughout the task.
Mark must stand behind his line.
- What does Neel do then? - She made a new "my line".
- It should have said "your". - So close.
I was just happy to get out of that task.
I thought it would never end.
You wanted it over. You are disqualified.
- Who else are we going to see? - One tried the same.
Just much better.
Okay, boy. No, I must not say that.
OK, cattle. Bring in the cattle, boys.
Now we just see ...
I'm getting angry now. I'm like a Hulk.
Yes!
Get the cattle in.
Bend down a little. So.
It's a beautiful lassoing throw.
Let’s look at the technique and the line.
- That's too bad. - It's so pretty.
- Can we get a close-up? - It's a clear violation.
But it was a great throw. Yours was too, Annika.
Annika moved the line within the rules -
- and came close enough to lay it like a wreath.
I ask him to bow down. I like to do that with Mark.
You succeeded. You will receive our second disqualification.
I was the only one who lassoed right.
Annika did not violate, so it counts.
- How long did Annika spend? - Not very long.
Five minutes and 25 seconds from "howdy" to lassoing.
I have high expectations now.
Often we save either the most spectacular failure -
- or something that really impresses.
- Jakob Thrane is missing. - It can go either way.
If what's happening in the video was the plan, I'm impressed.
Can you just help me?
I got you! I got you! Can you come here?
Your little ... That was my plan all along.
You unscrupulously take advantage of how servile Mark is.
It's a classic lasso trick.
You throw a little too short, and then the calf thinks you are throwing badly.
You ask it to push a little, and then you grab the hoof.
- It seems like it went well. - Insanely fast.
One minute and 55 seconds.
Shut up, man.
Zero points for Anders and Neel. Three points for Habane.
Four points for Annika, and five for champion Jakob.
Now Annika Aakjær is in front with 12 points.
- Yes! - We get to know the participants.
Jakob does not like watermelon, but is good with rope.
- Are we learning more now? - No.
Just about someone named either Wigga, Jonas, or Sergio.
[sandhed = truth; pral = brag; løgn = lie]
Oh ...
- Hi. - Hi.
I thought he was from the camera crew. He's a real human being.
What is Mikkel Kryger's [TV host] cousin doing here?
He didn't think that was funny.
- Camera people are also people. - Yes, they are.
I like Mikkel Kryger a lot, so that was a compliment.
- It's important to have a good start. - Just give me a second.
Jakob. Okay...
And your name is?
- Hello, Anders. - Hi, Mark.
Oh boy. One of Denmark's top models.
A nice piece of man. The second one can be cut out.
"Get to know this person."
"In five minutes you will be examined on your knowledge of the person."
"Don't ask the same question multiple times."
"The person will alternately speak the truth, lie, and brag."
"But does not necessarily start with the truth."
"The person is telling the truth, lying, and bragging in that order."
Ah, the person will ...
"Time starts now." Hello. Anders.
I have to ask you questions and find out what's true.
It would be easy if you could just ask questions.
- But he answers cryptically. - That's correct.
Truth, lies, and bragging. Always in that order.
But you don't know where he starts.
And there is no point in just asking east and west.
You want to see Annika and Anders, I sense.
- What's your name? - Sergio Lopez.
- What's your name? - Wigga.
- How old are you? - 28.
- Where are you from? - Randers.
- It's not bragging. - What do you do?
I'm an anesthetist for the King of Saudi Arabia.
- Do you have children? - Yes.
- How many? - Five.
- Do you have a driver's licence? - Yes, I got it when I was 16.
The driving instructor judged that I was ready, despite the law.
- It must have been out in Brøndby. - Hanne Bundgaard from Randers.
Do you like animals? Have you been to Tivoli?
What are the names of your mother and father? Do you like beer?
How's Martin Krasnik? [journalist] What is your favorite food?
Monkfish, I think.
- What's your favorite food? - Give me a good round of caviar.
- I don't need to know more. - Time's up.
- Do you feel smarter? - Yes ... I don't know.
We will see.
First of all, Annika. "How's Martin Krasnik?"
I ask everyone that.
- I asked a lot of questions. - Did you get a handle on his approach?
I think he's an anesthetist in Zagreb.
I choose to believe that. A nice anesthesiologist from Zagreb.
I believe it.
If you want to know where he is, you ask a control question.
"Do I have a nose?"
Then one must speak truth, lie, or brag.
"Look at me. I've hosted Jeopardy."
Mister Klogesen. You could have said that, Mark.
- Anders, do you also have a high IQ? - No, it's down here.
We have seen two attempts to get to know the man.
If you are methodical, you get a lot out of it, right?
- You want to see Neel? - Yes.
- Are you a woman? - Yes.
Are you good at playing football? What's your name?
- Jonas. - Do you like marshmallows?
- Are you good at diving? - Yes.
- How old are you? - 31.
- How many toes do you have? - 11.
- I live in Borup. - What do you work with?
- I'm an educator. - Where would you like to go?
- Iceland. - What is your favorite color?
- Time's up. - Well.
It's a great, methodical approach.
If I remember what he said.
You hit it lightning fast.
Yes, and then I try to repeat the truths.
Now I have forgotten what his name is.
I have a good method but no memory.
We have seen some without a system and one with failing memory. Mark?
Would you like to see some who discover I'm standing with this -
- but still manages to use it for absolutely nothing?
Habane and Thrane.
My name is Mahamad.
That's a silly question I ask myself.
I have to ask the other way around.
- What's your name? - Leopold.
- What do you do? - I'm an F-16 pilot.
Okay...
- What the hell are you doing, Mark? - How old are you?
- Hi, Habane. - Is this it now? Come over here.
- Where do you live? - In Borup.
- Where do you live now? - In Dubai.
I don't understand the sign. Is this it now?
- I look like an idiot. - Do you answer from the sign?
- Yes. - I just need to double check.
Will Mark help you answer my questions?
No.
- What's your favorite food? - It's rice porridge.
- What is your name? - Leopold Larsen.
- Did you just brag about your name? - Yes.
- What do you work with? - Young people with autism.
- What's your mother's name? - Five seconds.
- What's your mother's name? - Gitte. Yvonne.
Then we got it. It was nice.
I ... Yes.
When our stranger speaks the truth, his mother's name is Gitte.
When he has to brag, her name is Yvonne.
It's the nicest name.
- You can't assess it. - The one is, as you read.
The sign is not your biggest problem when your first question is:
"My name is Mahamad."
There I made the classic by asking myself questions.
- Who hasn't tried that? - Boom. It has to go over there.
You must have some hard dates. "I've been asking all night."
At an exam you had to show how much you had learned about him.
How did they handle it?
- Hi, Mark. - Welcome, Anders Breinholt.
- It's exam time. - Yes.
- Examiner Mark Le Fêvre. - Yes.
Are you ready to be examined?
- So that's what we need? - What's the person's name?
- Frank. - I don't know. He lied.
Leo ...
- Roflesky ... - His name was Perez.
- Perez Sanchez Floderas. - Jonas.
- What is your name? - Jonas.
- What is his occupation? - He's an anesthesiologist.
- He works with autistic children. - Statistician and Taskmaster.
- Employed. - I think he's an educator.
- What's his age? - Good question.
- 28. - 31.
- 33.
- 31. - What's his favorite food?
- I have no idea. - It's caviar.
- Monkfish. - Rice porridge.
- And his favorite resort?
- Randers. - He dreams of Iceland.
Either Club La Santa or ... Write it down.
- Greece. - Spain.
- That's it.
You could well have said these were the questions to be asked.
- Was that all? - I say thank you.
There were people here who got correct answers noted -
- for things that were pure guesswork.
Didn't it occur to you that you guessed the destination?
No.
- You didn't ask for it. - I felt his energy.
I'm inside him. So not ...
- A small hand. - Should it be?
- "Should it be?" - It's not very big.
- It's a close race, right? - Yes, relatively.
We start at the bottom, Anders Breinholt.
Zero correct answers.
Jakob guessed he loves rice porridge.
Neel, Annika, and Habane all had two correct answers.
You get points according to whether you have gotten to know the stranger.
Anders, you had zero right, but you get a single point.
Jakob Thrane has one right answer. It gives three points.
In a shared first place with two correct answers ...
Three people with five points.
Well, Mark Le Fevre. Give me an overall position.
Annika Aakjær is in front.
Who will win Neel's Tinka hat?
Time for the final task, here on stage.
We are ready with the final task.
Usually we read the assignment aloud, but we have something to fix first.
We must distribute the participants at the tables.
Annika, you lead so you decide.
- Start with Anders Breinholt. - Okay, man.
I don't know what we are going to do so I can influence it.
- Where is Anders going? - Anders must stand by the pineapple.
It's connected.
- What about Neel? - Neel gets the coconut.
- And Habane? - The pears.
- You get the bananas. - You take the grapes yourself.
It's sharp.
We don't know ...
I'm placing it here.
Now one of you can read the task aloud. It's going to be you, Jakob Thrane.
Yes, please.
"Get the most fruit into the bowl. Do not leave your place."
"Do not throw the fruit. The bowl must not be moved."
"You can only handle your fruit yourself. You have 100 seconds."
Don't throw?
Don't just take them by the hand and throw.
The 100 seconds start now.
I've got this.
Don't you want to fuck off ...?
It's far away.
Half the time has passed. No one has got fruit in the basket yet.
Are the two gutters a little too short?
- It needs to be put back in place. - You must not do that.
- It's like the watermelon. - Breinholt!
I'm at least trying to make an effort, Mark!
- You can probably see that. - Come on!
No!
- Oh, fuck off. - Something's going to happen, Habane.
Yes!
Mine was in!
It's in, this one!
Time's up!
In the heat of battle, Jakob gets a banana into the bowl, which then rolls out.
We'll just add it. It counts.
A coconut, a banana, and two pineapples from Anders.
The position in this task is thus:
Five points for Anders Breinholt.
Four points Jakob and Neel. Three points for Mahamad and Annika.
Who leaves here as Santa?
The winner of the wonderful hat is Annika Aakjær.
I'm so proud...
Annika Aakjær's head is adorned with real pixie felt.
Leonid Brezhnev said the following to me in Nyborg on a wet evening -
- with vodka on the breath:
Thanks for tonight.
