two weeks earlier

Brent, what's up ? How was the move ?
- Hard work. I'm sore, man.

So ? How's Brussels ?
- I haven't been out yet.

Party at TieIt FC. You're going, right?
- I don't think I can make it.

Why ? It's only a six hours on your BMX.
- Give me a break, guys.

No, Roger, no.

Good morning, son.

Haven't you found a replacement yet
after three months ?

No, Roger, I'm not coming to work
for you again.

Besides, we already moved.

What did you say ?
No, that has nothing to do with it.

I would appreciate it if you stopped
insisting. Goodbye, Roger.

Marleen, I'm off to work.
See you tonight.

Lost something ?
- My hoodie.

In the red box.

Mum, why don't you throw some stuff
away. I mean, a teddy bear...

No, we're not throwing away the bear.

I want to... to sort things out first.

Come here, you.

Where are you off to ?
- Just going for a ride.

Wouldn't it be nice to stay in ?
- Mum...

Yes, mum can stay home alone.
- Right, I'm off.

And wear your helmet.

Idiot.
- What ?

Hey, look.
Niels already liked our photo.

What a loser.

That's right, are you coming
to the party Saturday ?

I said I'd jump off a bridge,
but Dad said no.

Jeez, just go. When I'm not allowed,
Ijust say I'm going to babysit Benji.

What ?
- That you weren't at Jimmy's party.

The Booster, man.

How did you get the Booster?

Jimmy has a Suzuki, he's selling it.
- To you ?

You don't have money.
- Joel let me test-drive it.

Test-crash it, you mean.
- What about me ?

You'll have to wait a year, baby.

All right. Guys.

Chelsea, have you smoked ?
- No.

You do know I can have you tested.
You are at the parallel bars.

And Branko, you go to First Aid,
wound-dressing.

What?
- Go, Branko.

Jimmy, you are in physio.
You can start with Rudy. Go on.

You can help me with the buckle.

Not like that, god damn it.
Piss off.

What ?

Why don't you help him ?

I told you to piss off.

That's him.
- Who's that?

The new kid.
They moved into that white house.

Whoa, he's is exactly my type.
- Not bad, eh?

Come on, Ilse. Get on.
- What?

A ride to Jimmy's.
- Have a helmet?

What for ?
- See you.

Jimmy wants you.
- Like I care.

Can I get a ride ?
- Ilse.

Thanks.

Look, guys, I'm in the middle of moving.

Did you get your school books ?
-Yes.

Good thing we were able to enrol you.
- Yes, Mum.

Have you made any friends yet?
- My friends are in Tielt, Dad.

Son, that's the way it is.
Your father has a job here.

Why can't I live with grandpa ?

Tell your father
to mind his own business.

He means well, Herman.
- Things are tough enough.

So now it's my father's fault ?

No, it's mine, of course.
- Glad you're starting to realise it.

Enjoy your meal.

Who knows more about motorcycles ?
- You do.

In six months my cup will be displayed
next to my dad's.

Shit, she's from my community service.

Is your father in ?

Is my dad here ?

Joel is dead.

He went to fly in a hot air balloon.

When they took off,
they got caught in power cables.

They were all electrocuted.

Right, that's enough now.
Silly boys.

Don't pay any attention to those boys.
I'm Jimmy's father.

Laura de Jonge.
- Pleased to meet you. How can I help ?

I know. Jimmy is not an easy kid.
- I expected you at the intake.

On Wednesday, right? Sorry, I had
some repairs to do for a client.

I couldn't make it.
- That was Tuesday.

But why should I be there ?
Let the boy take responsibility.

He does, butwe do expect you...
- Community service. Really ?

Twenty hours of service and another
twenty of schooling. It's a bit much.

I don't decide that, the judge does.
- All that for speeding ?

I taught Jimmy to ride in the yard
back here.

At flve he could ride better
than those guys going for a license.

But he was picked up five times
for speeding.

Let me tell you, Jimmy knows his ride.
Unlike those idiots causing accidents.

Now it's service, next time it's jail.
- Jail, no way.

I'm afraid you will have to cooperate,
sir.

Wait, wait.

Come to the motocross with us Sunday.
You'll see what I mean.

They are not bad people, you know ?

She's a spunky one, isn't she,
uncle Joel ?

Get out of here.

Marleen ?

You're not staying in bed all day,
are you ?

Will you look in on your mother?
I have to rush to work. OK ?

Are you all right?
What are you doing there ?

Is he bothering you ?
- No.

We've seen each other before.
Been here long ?

Three days.
- And already bothering our girls.

He is not. But he is awesome
at riding his BMX.

Who cares ?
- You ride a lawnmower. Please.

But it is ten times as fast.
- Says who ?

Run a course ?
- OK.

Come on, guys...
-And the winner get a kiss from you.

Hey, man. Fuck off.
Get out of the way.

Take it easy.

You're coming from the wrong direction.

Cops. They'll nail me without a helmet.
- Where is Brent?

He probably gave up.

Hey. What do I get?
- My best wishes.

Where are you going ?
- Home.

I'll give you a ride.

Can I have a ride ?

I could have gone on my own.

To community service on a souped-up
Suzuki ? Try to be serious.

And going after my counsellor
is serious, is it?

What was wrong with Wendy ?
- I couldn't talk to her.

Is that a requirement? What about
the girl in the pub ? You talk to her.

She has kids.
Would you like to have a baby brother?

Forget Laura, she has problems.
- Problems with you, yeah.

Her man died in a motorcycle accident.
- Is that right ?

And she's taking out her problems
on us, the bitch.

Watch your mouth.

If you showed some respect,
you'd be in less trouble.

If you'd keep your dick in your pants
more, Ma would not have left.

Hi Jimmy. Sit there,
I'll be right with you.

Mr. Jacobs.
- Good day.

You were right.
I think we need to have a talk.

Fine, but make an appointment. Now is...
- Yes, I see.

Of course, sorry. Absolutely.

Laura, the belt keeps falling off.
- Use the other one, Branko.

I'll take a look. May I call you Laura ?
- There's no need.

To call you Laura...
- We have people for that.

Yes, of course. Jimmy.
- Jimmy's not staff, he's here to learn.

Yes, of course. You want to confront the
people here with accidents and things...

Listen, Jimmy has never run over anyone.

Not yet, no.
And we want to keep it that way, right?

Mr. Jacobs.
- Call me Joel.

Come to bed, love,
it's two-thirty in the morning.

I'll be right there.

Marleen, don't do things like that.

What? I'm looking for a photo
for the living room.

And hang one on the loo
while you're at it.

You have to stop this, it's not healthy.

Not for you, or for Brent.
Do you think the boy likes this ?

I'm his mother.
I know what's good for him.

And by the way, don't you lecture me.

Twenty.

That was only sixteen. If you want to
ride motocrosses, you must work out.

I will never be as good as you.
- Your first race next Sunday. Want to ?

Too soon. I need to train more
with your dad. I don't want to mess up.

Hey, sissy.
What are you, some kind of coward ?

Is your dad in ?

Is my dad here ?

Ma'am, he can't see you. Things got
a little out of hand yesterday night...

at the dolphinarium...
- Jimmy, get your dad.

Is this yours ?
- Yes.

Are you any good ?
- Yes.

Play something ?

You are good. Are you in a band ?
- No. I don't have time.

I have a lot of training to do.

What do you prefer:
the drums or motocross ?

I'll have to put that in the cellar.

Get a move on,
or you'll be late for school again.

And no speeding, you hear?

Boys, really... What's up ?

I have something for you.
- Excuse me.

I have to pick up, it's a customer.
Hello, Joel here.

Morning.

No biking, boys.

Morning.

Come on, keep going.
Keep it moving, come on.

Jimmy, no riding. You know that.

Where is your helmet?
- At home.

A course on how to raise your child ?
- I think it's a good idea for you.

You are here to tell me I don't know
how to raise Jimmy ?

No, that's not what I'm here for.
They can help. Set rules and things.

Rules...

Your idea of traffic education is
putting a five-year-old on a scooter.

He is an adolescent.

He doesn't have a mother. It's not easy
on him, you know. Or me.

I understand that, Joel.

I understand.

You know what? Fine,
I'll come to your training course.

And you're coming to the motocross.

shall we walk home together ?

I swear, they were writing notes to each
other. I think she's in love with him.

Hey guys, look what I found ?

It was on the window sill.

Didn't you have to go to the loo ?

Come on.

Are you going to the party Friday ?
- My dad won't let me.

I have to get my grades up first.

I'll take you home after,
your dad won't know.

No thanks.

Can I ride with you ?

OK, who did this ?
- What's the matter?

I don't know. Keep an eye on your stuff.
- What is it?

That's disgusting.
- Who would do such a thing ?

You did, didn't you ?
- Do what?

Come on, guys.
- Looking for trouble ?

Piss off.
- Leave him alone.

Piss off.

Brent?
- Knob.

Come on.

It's tough.
- You do it very well.

Do you and Jimmy have a thing ?
- Jimmy ? No, no.

That was a long time ago.
I was thirteen. Big mistake.

And you ?
Do you have anyone in Tielt ?

What's the matter, Brent?
You look scared.

You're not afraid, are you, mate?

If you are scared, just say so.

You passed your trial.
Putyour tag up there.

Put your tag. There.
Next to ours.

Come here.

Go on. Brent Bauwens.
- BB.

Well done. Come.

Things started going wrong
when my parents got divorced.

I couldn't stand my stepfather.

I stole my mum's car
to go see my dad.

But I just kept driving and driving...

Problem ?

Yes, a flat tyre.
- Come, I'll throw it in the boot.

No, that's all right.
- No problem, I'll fix it in the garage.

Just take me home, that's fine.
- It's no trouble at all, really.

I'm happy I came, actually. I feel
I should have a talk with Jimmy.

But it's tough.
It's not going to be easy.

Are these all yours ?
- Yep.

Actually, except this one.
This one is yours.

I have to admit
that I never set clear rules for Jimmy.

My ex and I couldn't agree
about that.

She let him do this,
I let him do that...

So yeah... rules, eh ?

Thank you.
- It's my job.

Here.
- Another one ?

I don't know what for yet,
but I'll think of something.

Do you have any kids ?

No.
- No ? Butyou do have a boyfriend.

No.
- You don't ?

Then you really do deserve this one.

That's not to my credit.
- I don't know. Being alone ?

It's not easy.

Jimmy.

Hey, I put in a new spark plug.

I have to go.
- Wait, we can sit back there a while...

Well ?
- I'm not telling on anyone.

Really. Then you shouldn't have said
you knew who did it.

Give me a name, Derijcke.

Brent Bauwens.
- Brent Bauwens ? Not so fast.

What makes you think Brent did it?

He sprayed that same B
on the wall of our square.

You can have look,
there are two Bs.

Anyone could have done that.
- He will deny it anyway.

Butwe have a witness,
don't we, Derijcke ?

I'd rather you didn't mention my name.

I can hardly punish someone based on
the testimony of someone who

isn't exactly a model student.

There is a blue paint stain
on his backpack.

Bauwens. You sprayed your tag
all over the girls' restrooms.

I didn't do that. Honest.
- I have a witness. May I see your bag ?

I believe this is the same colour
as the paint in the restrooms.

Brent. I'm aware of your history, OK ?
I know about your problems at home.

But under the circumstances
this cannot go unpunished.

Though perhaps the witness
is not reliable. What do you think?

Here. Get started.

How is it going with your parents ?

Are you all adjusting a bit here ?

It must be tough,
moving to Brussels from Tielt.

It's not too bad.

Brent. Brent.

If something's wrong, talk about it.
You know that, right?

My mum is waiting for me
and my battery is dead.

I'll tell "Teach" what really happened.
- No way.

They can't hurt me.
- The graffiti is gone. Just leave it.

I'll tell Jimmy...
- Where were you ?

At school.
- And your mobile ?

My battery was dead.
- I was worried sick. Don't do this.

And where is your helmet?

Why would you do that?
- Mum, I told you: my battery was dead.

And no helmet. What was the deal,
Brent, what had we agreed ?

I'm sorry, but...
- No buts.

You always wear a helmet.
Before you know it you are lying there.

Is that what you want? For us to have
to carry you to the cemetery ?

What's going on here ?

He was on his bike without a helmet
and was late, I was worried sick.

It's all right. Come here, calm down.
Yes, calm down.

Apologise to your mother.
- I'm sorry. It won't happen again.

How does it feel ?
- Super, Dad. Awesome.

And who's going to win today ?
- I am.

You bet you are.
Like a true Jacobs.

What is she doing here ?
- Cheer for you, I guess.

The start is in ten minutes.

Did you go to the loo ?
- Dad...

Under stress it affected my bowels.
- Because you're a shit.

Right. Shall we go for a drink?

I'll have a beer.
- You get a coke.

Try this one on.

Say, who was that girl ?
- Just a girl in my class.

Just? What's her name ?
- Ilse.

She's pretty.

Perhaps we should invite her
to the house, eh ?

This one doesn't fit.

Oh, right. I have another card.

What? How can that be ?

I guess I'll pay cash.

What ?
- The noise.

You probably things it's boring,
riding in circles.

Not at all.
- You have to train very hard.

Or you wouldn't last half a round.

Jimmy works out three times a week.

And what he learns here,
he uses when riding in traffic.

And of course you need guts.

Don't worry, uncle Joel will make
a motocrosser out of you.

What now ?

What's wrong ?
- I don't know, it conked out.

It's all right.
- Now I won't win.

Calm down. Better luck next time.
It doesn't matter.

Playing the drums is better, eh ?

Good day, ma'am.
- You must be Ilse.

OK, come on, Ilse.

Hello. Hi.

Don't be too late.

Well. He seems to be adapting all right.
- Yes.

So ? How was it at work ?
- You know...

What? Problems with Roger?
- Yes.

You know how he is. It's the same
old thing, always has to be right.

But other than that, no problems ?
- Problems ?

Not at all. A bit of stress, as usual.

I was in town today...
- That's good. Get out a bit.

OK, I'm going to take a shower.

I'd rather you didn't show up
at the house.

I thought we'd meet up this weekend.
- I had to go to the store with mum.

Yeah, nice vest.
- It's stupid, but she makes me wear it.

Your mum's kind of special.

Things aren't easy on her right now.
-No?

Nothing.

Wow. Did your mother cook ?
- No, I cooked.

All right.
- I was sick and tired of pizza.

It looks delicious, son.

Did you buy trainers ?

Yes. I thought I'd start jogging.

You ? Jog ?

Yes, I'm going to start
one of these days.

It's never too late to start, right?

You already did, from the dirt on them.
- Are you checking up on me ?

Do you think that will solve it,
Herman ? By running ?

But then that's always been your thing,
running. Why change now ?

It's pasta with olives and anchovies.
I hope it's not too spicy.

It's very good, son, very good.

How old were you ?
- Seventeen. My boyfriend was twenty.

On a Ducati no less.

But I'm happy at least you survived.

Laura ?

Looking for Jimmy ?

Eh, yes. No. Are you all right?
- Sure. But out of practice.

OK, I'm off.

See you.

Hey, you just missed Laura.
- Right. She spent the night here.

So Joel scored last night?
- Do you think that's funny ?

She's cool, isn't she ?

It won't last.

Morning.
Get off your scooters, boys.

What did I just hear ?
Spraying graffiti in the girls' loo ?

You know who did it, you bastard.

What ?
- Looking for a fight?

Come on. Hit me.
Hit me, come on.

If you dare. Come on.

Hit me. Go on.

Hit me.

What's going on here ?
What happened ?

He punched Jimmy
and tied him to that post.

Brent, give me the key. Brent, give me
the key. Come on, lad.

Oh, please. What is all this, boys ?

Are you all right?
Here, hold that.

Are you OK ?
I'll get back to you, young man.

Marleen.
- What are you doing here ?

I, eh... A customer, I have to meet
with a customer in a bit.

Stop lying, Herman.

How did you know I was here ?
- I followed you.

Marleen, what are you twing to do ?
- There's no money in our account.

Must be a bank error.

Herman, you haven't gone to work
in three months. Three months, Herman.

I called Roger. OK ?
He told me you quit.

I couldn't take it anymore, Marleen.

What are you going to do now ?

What are you doing here ?
Trainers...

You told me...

that you would forget about that woman.

Marleen, I had to see her.

Herman, don't tell me we moved here,
just so you could be near that woman ?

Herman Bauwens speaking.
Eh, yes.

Yes. OK.

Brent was suspended from school.
- What?

Rudy is waiting.
- It's strange, isn't ? You and my dad.

It's not strange. Now listen to me.
- Yes, mummy.

Hey, where do you think you're going ?
- To see my dad.

Shall I give him a message ?
Staying for dinner ?

Mark me as present. I have better things
to do on Wednesdays.

Jimmy.

Did he say that? Forget about it,
I'll talk to him one of these days.

I can't. You know this isn't right.
- I know.

Hey. Come here.

If they ask, I wasn't here.
And the motorbike was here all day.

Oh boy.
- I'm taking him back to juvenile court.

Juvenile court. That's a bit much.
Can't we find another solution ?

But... Joel.
- What? What?

I can't, it's too confusing.

What is confusing ?
- My work.

I know, but why give all this up
for that brat?

That brat is my job,
and it is important to me.

Yes, but I'm important too, right?
- No.

What do you mean, no ?
- No.

Mr. Jacobs ? Is your son here ?
- What is the matter?

Jimmy fled from a police inspection.

That's serious. And that while
he's getting professional counselling.

From this lady here.

But maybe she's a bit confused,
since she's fucking his father, too.

I can't believe it. I really can't
believe it.

Come on.
- You only think about yourself.

That's not true, I tried to tell you...
- Shut up.

You promised to forget about her,
but now we are back at square one.

And you, you are just like your father.
I can't trust you.

I didn't do anything, honestly.
- You even use the same words.

I swear, I have nothing to do with that.

You two are never at fault.
Never, never.

How long are you suspended for?
- A week.

They screwed you royally.
- At least it's a week without Jimmy.

But also a week without me.

I don't want miss you a whole week

What's wrong ?
Scared I'll bite off your tongue ?

Are you afraid of Jimmy ?

Brent.

I've been thinking about this all night,
Herman.

If you won't do it, I'll have to.

And what is it you have to do ?

It's gone on long enough
with that woman. I'm going to see her.

Are we back to that again ?
- Mind your own business.

Right. Is anyone in this house
interested in how that makes me feel ?

It ends today.
- What are you going to do ?

What you are not able to do.

Marleen, please. Ijust wanted to talk
to her. I had to know, that's all.

All the details of the accident,
his last words...

That is not enough.

OK, I'll do it.

Jimmy, hold on a second. Your coach
from the community service rang me.

If you have to go to court again, they
could lock you up. Do you realise that?

Jimmy, please. What's going on ?

That trouble with Brent? Is that it?
- Brent is a bastard.

He's having a hard time at home.
- And I'm not?

I'm not saying that, but he can't
do anything about it, butyou can.

I can say stuff about home to get pity,
only I don't do that.

I'm no coward.
- Jimmy.

You really don't know what's going on
with Brent, do you ?

Brecht.

Do you have a twin brother?
- Brecht, yes.

Are you the one with the cap
or the other?

The other.

Brecht...

Brecht was older.

Where is he now ?

He died a year ago.

We were riding our bikes to school.

Brecht didn't like biking very much,
so he would hang back.

And... at the next intersection,
he was run over.

By a car.

She said she didn't see him.
That woman.

She was texting.

He died instantly. At least that.

My mother couldn't cope living so close
to the place of the accident.

My dad couldn't even drive by there.
He would take huge detours to avoid it.

So we moved.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.

But people don't know how to react.

It makes them feel very uncomfortable.
So it's best not to say anything.

Marleen ?

Where is Ilse ?
- At Brent's, I bet.

Congratulate Noah, the Booster is his.
- Wow, for 350 euros.

Jimmy put in 100 euros.
- Yes, so Benji could ride it as well.

Me ?
- Yes, you. Isn't that what you want?

It's the piss pot.
- Hey, Brent.

What do you want?
- Whoa. Sorry about last time.

We're in the same shit.
They're kicking me out of school too.

Oh really ?

I shouldn't have done that to you,
in your situation.

What ?

Brecht.
- Brecht?

How do you know ?

Ilse. She came over last night.

And told me everything.

You weren't giving her enough.
So I took care of it.

She does think you are cool,
don't get me wrong.

But a bit of nerd.
- Oh really.

You shit yourself
at the sight of the Booster.

I can ride ten times better than you.
- Listen to him.

You have the guts ?
- Race ?

OK. Go ahead and take that Booster.
- My Booster? No way.

He's going to ruin it.
- The Booster is still part mine.

Brent, you don't know how to ride.
- If he wants to, then let him.

Let him practice a bit first.

OK. The race starts at three 'o clock.

Benji.

What's with him ?

Mummy.

Laura here.

Benji?

What ?

The cemetery is the turning point.
Bring something as proof.

A corpse.
- Afiower. Then around city hall,

full speed past the hospital
and the cops.

Just to provoke them, or something ?
- The first to come back here wins.

Let's go.

At three 'o clock, I said.
- Why wait? I'm ready.

What do you want me to do ?
- Get in your car and stop them.

A street race in Brussels.
In that traffic ?

So now you're telling me what to do.
- Uncle, it's too dangerous.

Joel, please.
- You go. Who's stopping you ?

I don't have a driver's license.
- Fine, I'll go to the cops.

Benji. Come on, let's go.
- What is it with you ?

Let me go.
- Yes, your boyfriend is dead.

And yes, that's terrible.
But why let it rule us ?

I was driving. OK ? I killed him.
And I can't let that happen again.

What are you doing here ?
- Jimmy is racing.

Against Brent.
- Say what ?

He was pretty pissed off
that you did it with Jimmy.

I didn't do anything with Jimmy.

Damn it.

If we're too late,
I'll never forgive you.

I see something there.
- Wait a moment. Wait here.

Here. It's from all of us.

Here.

Leave me alone, I can't do it.
- Yes, you can.

I can't do it, really I can't.
- Just try. Yes. Let's sit you down now.

Come on.
