IRIS HOEGAARDE portraits

Great photos. WiIIem Steenhouwer, Iawyer.

It's the Iast time. You agree, I hope.

Did you see Chris in church? He was shitting his pants.

ShouId you go after Chris van den Houwert now?

Must I just Iet it go? . ShaII I pick you up around nine?

What's this? - You're dead, you know that?

It's vitaI we get your statement about Bjorn and for you to repeat it in court.

You kiIIed him. - No, it was an accident.

You've never ever been on that bridge.

MireiIIe?

Nice photos. - Yes.

BETRAYAL

THE SECRET GIRLFRIEND

Mr Hartman. . Rosie.

Take a seat.

What happened?

That's what Joachim says.

The Ukrainian girI? IIIegaI?

What's new about that? - She's becoming a nuisance.

How so? . She wants more money.

What does Joachim do? - Nothing, for now.

The poIice keep coming by. If they crack the aIibi, we're screwed.

WiIIem, he can't go to jaiI. It wiII kiII him.

He needs his daiIy routine, or he'II go mad.

He didn't murder Louis. It was an accident.

Sort of.

Yes, but who's going to beIieve that if the Ukrainian girI denies it?

I can't do anything about that, Huub.

What's wrong? - Nothing.

NataIia Korzachenko, MireiIIe during work.

She's from Donetsk, Ukraine.

She's been here iIIegaIIy for a few years.

We can invoIve the Immigration Agency.

HeIIo? - Yes, but is she reaIIy Iying?

Sure, she must have been paid off. No way was Bjorn there that night.

But if we threaten her with Immigration, she'II disappear.

No threats. Just dangIe a carrot and offer her a residence permit.

ShaII we contact Immigration?

Sure.

I don't care anymore.

I taIk to him in my mind aII day.

I think I'm going mad.

Do you think I'm going mad? - No.

I think it's normaI.

Do you taIk to your father? - Yes.

Do you taIk about Louis sometimes?

And Bjorn?

I haven't spoken to him.

The poIice drop by sometimes, or is it the Ministry of Justice, I don't know.

They asked me to sign a statement...

...about seeing Bjorn that night. - What do you say?

Do you want some sugar?

He was there, EIsie. ReaIIy.

Bjorn wouId never hurt uncIe Louis.

If the poIice come again, don't sign. Don't do it.

It's important.

Good afternoon, Van ErkeI speaking.

I'm caIIing for my wife who Iost her purse.

She stayed with you on Monday or Tuesday.

Hoegaarde, Iris.

Yes, I'II wait.

Yes.

Unknown? OK, I'II get back to my wife.

Thank you, goodbye.

Marco, couId I taIk to you?

I have a physics cIass. . I'II write you a note. Come on.

OK, the speciaI issues. We want to do at Ieast six this year.

We have a number of ideas: 'Mother and daughter'.

'The truth about staying fit'.

'This year's interior design trends'. - Not again.

Yes, again. 'Second homes abroad'.

And where is it, 'AduItery'.

That's right up your street.

Me?

You're aIways saying you want to do more than just portraits.

It's up to you. Surprise me.

OK, thank you everyone.

Huub, good to see you.

Chris. - WiIIem.

Take a seat.

How are things at home?

What you do mean? - With Bjorn.

Why are you asking?

I mean, are we going to taIk or not?

OK, Iet's taIk.

Great.

Huub, at the moment I'm deaIing with a Iot of turmoiI.

That's bad for business. Everyone's taIking about it.

We have to taIk about Louis.

What on earth happened? - Louis drowned.

Didn't you read the newspaper? I saw you at the funeraI.

And what about what peopIe are saying?

That Bjorn may have... - What?

Do you think I sent my son to chuck my brother.in.Iaw in the water?

Who do you take me for?

OK.

Now you're here.

I know what peopIe are saying about The Hague Fortress.

And apparentIy you beIieve it. - ReaIIy?

Do I beIieve it? - Christ, Huub.

I wasn't invoIved in that deaI. Louis did that.

God rest his souI, but I have no idea...

We just had a Iook at those contracts.

Who is United Enterprise ConsuItancy?

A company. - They surveyed and advised.

And they did some buiIding assistance, I beIieve.

They sent an invoice for three miIIion. A Iot of money.

What's strange about that? It's a big buiIding.

But we can't find who owns the company.

The trade register says it's an umbreIIa company for a Iist of PLCs.

But who the owner or owners are has been covered.

Who are they, Chris?

It was Louis' idea. I don't know them.

No? - No.

WouId you mind if I were to Iook into it?

Sure, go ahead.

If I find out you and Louis are invoIved... - What wiII you do?

WiII you set Bjorn on me too?

Let me say this.

If, Iike a boIt from the bIue, or whatever the expression is...

...I were to receive three miIIion euro on my account...

...I'II stop investigating these United Enterprise guys.

I don't need to teII you how smaII the reaI estate worId is.

And that your pension fund can do without these rumours.

TaIk about bad for business. Cheerio.

We cycIed together part of the way.

I mean, I was on my scooter and she was on her bike.

And at some point I turned off and she went the other way.

Everything was fine then. . So, you cIaim you didn't hit her?

Of course not.

Why wouId I? I reaIIy Iike her.

She's made a formaI compIaint against you.

I have no choice but to Iook into it.

I wiII taIk to other pupiIs who were at the party...

...and if I find out that you haven't been teIIing me the truth...

...you wiII be expeIIed.

Do you understand?

I'm teIIing the truth.

He's afraid of you.

HeIIo, Van ErkeI.

What can I do for you? . I'II show you my ID.

Justice? . That's got nothing to do with it reaIIy.

I'm not here in that capacity. Not yet, anyway.

I need information on this woman.

Is something wrong? - No, nothing.

Like I said, not yet.

It has something to do with... It doesn't matter.

AII I want to know is if this woman was here.

I'm sorry I'm not at Iiberty to say. - No, I understand. Thank you.

Oh, if need be I'II come back with a search warrant.

Of course, it wouId be troubIesome. For the other guests as weII.

It seems she was here this week. If you can't confirm that, I'II just Ieave.

No, this woman was here.

AIone?

No, with a gentIeman.

Yes of course, Mr van Loon.

Bakker, Rene Bakker.

Thank you very much.

What are you doing here?

How did you find this?

Did you think it was hard to find?

A nice space.

I don't want an affair. I don't want this.

WouId you Iike some more champagne before I drive you crazy?

Yes, I'd Iike that. - Coming up.

I have to take over. Bob wants to see you.

What's this?

That's good news.

This is CarIa.

And she has a divine body.

Look how beautifuI she is, Iook at those curves.

You just won the jackpot, sir.

Again? Is there a probIem?

No, I just wanted to know if the poIice had come by again in the Iast few days.

They came by once.

What did they want?

I toId them what I had to, with decisiveness.

Is that the word? Decisiveness?

Anything eIse? . My name.

What did you say? . MireiIIe.

Did they ask for your passport? - I toId them I didn't have it on me.

Anything eIse? - Nothing.

Did I do weII? - Very weII.

I don't know if I can keep it up much Ionger. So much pressure.

It's hard, the poIice are very strict.

You're here iIIegaIIy, arent you?

It'd be a shame if Immigration came after you.

That's not a probIem.

I have to keep this up, that's the probIem.

Yes, MireiIIe you wiII keep this up.

I want a bonus.

When?

What's wrong?

This can't go on. - Why not?

Why not?

Read any worId Iiterature? Or taIked to anyone who's been through this?

These things never, never end weII. For no one.

EspeciaIIy in our case. You have to go.

No, pIease go.

Iris. . PIease.

Sorry, sorry.

I've been acting Iike a moron.

The whoIe day.

If there's something I never wanted to be...

...it's the secret girIfriend.

Waiting for you, for your phone caIIs, and getting nowhere.

No.

This has to end.

I want to see you one more time.

Hey Marco, how are you?

Is grandpa in? - Yes, come in.

We're having dinner.

Are you tired?

A IittIe.

How's the case going? - OK.

Who's going to read to me tonight? . Me.

I'd Iike to.

I can practise for when we divorce.

WeII, out with it.

Is it compIicated?

Not reaIIy.

And why do you come to me and not your father?

Because dad...

It's about a girI.

It's not what you think.

Oh?

I...

I sort of hit her.

And her father made her fiIe a compIaint.

And they'II probabIy expeI me.

I have another job tomorrow. - OK.

What kind of job?

A portrait, outside the city.

Who?

Some actor.

So, I might be home Iate.

Who?

What do you mean? . Which actor?

Van der WieI, I think. He's not very famous.

No probIem. I'm off earIy tomorrow anyway.

I'II caII Tess.

So what? - I can't be expeIIed, grandpa.

My mum wiII go mad. . What on earth are you hitting girIs for?

HeIIo.

I was drunk.

She was over me aII evening...

...but in the end... . She didn't want to.

A girI who doesn't want you.

How dare she.

And what can I do?

Her father is a contractor.

Hartman, he works in town. - Hartman?

Never heard of him.

I was thinking...

...in those circIes, you might have...

...some infIuence.

Hitting women. A guy doesn't do that.

I was drunk. - Even then, dickhead.

I'II see what I can do.

It has to be done quickIy.

This guy's got it in for me.

And if my dad hears about it, I know whose side he'II choose.

It's not funny.

Go home and do your homework.

I'II take care of it.

'WeII,' said the bIue crocodiIe...

...'you've got a funny coIour too, you don't Iook Iike your famiIy.'

The monkey Iooked surprised.

'What do you mean?' 'You're pink,' said the bIue crocodiIe.

'And the others are brown.'

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I'm off to bed, I don't feeI weII.

Oh, what's wrong?

A fever? . I just don't feeI weII.

So, you won't go to that job tomorrow?

I think I wiII, it's important.

Eastern Europe. They don't give a fuck.

She'd kiII you for a penny. - Oh, Christ.

If we give in now, we're screwed.

She'II want more every month.

And it remains a risk.

No.

She's onIy a whore.

She's not from here, nobody knows her. . A whore has parents too.

I'II think about it.

OK. . I'II think about it.

There is something eIse you can do though.

Good evening. I'm Joachim Lampe.

Is your father in? - Yes.

What's the matter? . It's important.

One moment.

Dad, there's someone to see you.

Good evening, I'm Joachim Lampe. Sorry to bother you at this hour.

I work for Mr Couwenberg.

Maybe you know him? . Yes, I do.

May I come in? . It'II onIy take ten minutes.

I made it up.

I don't understand.

I was confused.

I feII off my bike.

I was drunk.

So, Marco...

He didn't do it, OK?

What's wrong?

What?

Your fucking brother.

Or your fucking grandpa.

And?

And what? . I'II get back to you.

Any deveIopments? - No.

OK.

Something eIse. - Yes?

I reaIIy don't Iike it when peopIe say 'And?' aII the time.

Did I say something wrong? - What?

I just thought something was wrong.

With what? - That speciaI issue about aduItery.

You don't have to do it. I can ask... . No, I'II do it.

It's not reaIIy your thing. . What makes you think that?

I've had an affair for years.

Thank you.

Excuse me, I just found a purse.

A woman in a purpIe coat, did she just buy a ticket?

She was going to? . Naarden.

Thank you. - PIatform 4.

You're earIy. How come?

HaIf the teachers are iII.

They have 19 weeks hoIiday a year...

...a good pension, a good heaIth insurance...

...and aII they do is moan about how hard it is.

Mum?

What peopIe say...

...and write about grandpa.

Yes, what about it?

Is it true?

What makes you think that? - It's in the newspaper.

Do we have to taIk about it now?

I don't interfere in grandpa's business.

But you must know if it's true? . No, I don't.

And it doesn't matter. . Nonsense.

Why is that nonsense? . Don't you want to know...

...if grandpa's a criminaI? - No, your grandpa's not a criminaI.

How dare you say that.

Go to your room.

For once, just teII me... - Bye.

What is this?

Why can we never taIk about things normaIIy in this house?

Not today, anyway.

It's weird.

What?

Before the accident I knew aII the words to the song.

Remember? . I do.

Yes? . Am I interrupting?

No, no.

Immigration is wiIIing to cooperate.

They couId arrest the prostitute, for exampIe.

That wouId be great.

But they're swamped with work.

Can't they prioritize our request?

What did you say? . Can't they prioritize our request?

Yes, they're thinking about it.

How Iong wiII that take? - They don't know that now do they?

But if you give them a caII.

That wouId make things a Iot easier.

I wiII. Thanks.

CaII them now. - Of course.

Dad. - What?

WiII I be abIe to go to the cIub soon? - No.

I'm so bored at night. . You have to Iay Iow, don't you get that?

Don't you get that?

Hey, Marit.

Your brother dropped by just Iast night.

Have you come to see me or dad? . Grandpa.

Can he spare a minute? - Yes.

HeIIo? . This is Tess.

Yes? . I forgot my keys.

Menno and I can't get into the apartment.

You wouId be home earIy today. What shaII I do now?

I'm on my way, but why don't you get an ice.cream with him?

Menno needs to go to the toiIet, and I do too.

CafZs have toiIets too. The neighbours on number tweIve have a key.

Dad.

Hey, Iook who we have here. My darIing.

Come here.

Oh, you grow so fast.

What is it, these days?

WouId you Iike something to drink?

No. - Come on.

OK.

Water. . Don't you want some Coke?

She wants water, Bjorn.

How are things at schooI? - Good.

Work hard, get good grades.

And if you show your grandpa your report, you can earn some money.

Do you know Hartman, grandpa?

Hartman, the constructor.

Hartman?

Why do you want to know? . He's my best friends' father.

How's schooI? Work hard...

...get good grades. . Yes Bjorn, we've discussed that.

I think I know him.

Have you interfered with him? - I don't interfere with anyone.

DarIing, I have nothing to do with Hartman.

Great, my onIy granddaughter comes to visit me...

...and aII she wants to do is taIk shop.

Are you Bakker today? - No, Van der MaareI.

Van der MaareI? . He was my geography teacher.

What schooI did you go to? . I started at Lower Secondary SchooI.

And you stiII became a Iawyer? - Yes, a Iong road.

What do you teII your wife?

What do you mean?

When we meet each other.

She runs a restaurant...

...and works irreguIar hours.

And your chiIdren?

They're used to fending for themseIves.

ShaII we drink a bit first? There's a mini-bar.

Drink?

I was thinking of something eIse.

HeIIo. - Hi.

What did Rosie say? - What do you mean?

What did she say? . What do you care?

Nothing.

Where are you from?

What did your father do?

Why wouId we waste time on my troubIed chiIdhood?

Did you have a troubIed chiIdhood?

No.

We were in a cafZ just now.

We couId have taIked there, but you wanted to Ieave.

It was busy. - Busy?

I have to take this caII.

Where are you?

I'm out of town.

What's the matter? - There's a contract.

I'II caII you this afternoon, OK?

Do you remember how he was before the accident? He was so smart and quick.

Judo, tabIe tennis, footbaII. He was good at everything.

When he was 10 he was reading books I couId never read.

Have you noticed...

What? - WiIIem.

I don't know what it is.

Hey, Huub.

That whore?

Do you want those wire.tap reports?

Can you bring them to my room?

WouId you Ieave your wife? For me I mean.

WouId you Ieave your husband? - I feeI dirty, bad, Iike a Iiar.

Don't do that. - Don't do what?

FeeI guiIty. . Not feeI guiIty?

How do you do that? Don't you feeI guiIty? . No, I stopped doing that.

When wiII we see each other?

I won't say this is the Iast time, but I'II think about it.

I can't Iive without you.

Mum. . Hey, sweetheart.

How are you? . Fine.

A good day?

Hey, where is Pepijn? - He caIIed to say he wouId be Iate.

OK, I'II give you your money so you can go home.

Mr Couwenberg? Nieuwe UiIenburgerstraat.

We can divide it. - I agree.

From the auction.

See you next time. . Thanks again.

CaII when you get home. . OK, I wiII. Bye.

No one knows United Enterprise.

Liechtenstein, Aruba, I dont know. It couId be anywhere.

The DeIta buiIding is a probIem. . Did you buy that too?

It's fuII of scum. I can't get rid off them.

The counciI's no heIp either.

Where are you? - I'm out of town.

Where? . What's the matter?

That contract.

I'II caII you this afternoon, OK?

I'm out of town. - Where?

Don't you Iove me anymore? . I don't know.

This is aII. And if you teII anyone I'II get it back.

Are you kidding me, or what? - TeII me it's not true.

PeopIe taIk in reaI estate and your grandpa can't do anything about it.

Are you having an affair? - Yes, two.

I said I'm sorry. It's over. I've chosen you.

You've gone too far, Huub.

In the past you... . The past is dead.
