Original subtitles

She's got her.

My mother. She's got Lulu.

Your mother?

- Your mother who's dead? - My mother is not dead, not literally.

- What's wrong? - I just don't know where to start.

The police showed me photographs of my own wife who runs an escort service.

And it gets worse, because they suspect her of laundering money.

So she'll be in jail soon and we'll have nothing left.

Yes, I don't...

I know I have to explain that to you.

And I will do so, Michiel.

But not now, because I've lost my child.

When you go to jail, then you'll lose her.

You don't know her. You really don't.

She will destroy that child.

Really.

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

WOMEN OF THE NIGHT

- Congratulations and good luck. - Thank you.

TWO MONTHS EARLIER

Congratulations. Great.

- Congratulations. Good luck. - Thank you.

Excuse me. He's my son.

I just want to say that I'm incredibly proud of you.

Enjoy this evening, son. I love you. You too.

Have a nice evening.

Just a small party, right?

- My cheeks are numb. - A little while longer.

Mr. Blaauw...

- This is my wife Xandra. - Nice to meet you.

It's so nice to meet you, Mr. Mayor.

Call me Gerrit.

I was impressed by you before this, but even more so now.

Gerrit.

Can I get you a glass of cava?

No, thank you. I'm fine.

- See you later. - Of course.

Honey, you're doing great.

There he is, the man of the evening.

Wow. Hello.

You're the woman of the evening, in any case.

You can be proud of him. An asset for city hall.

He's only spokesperson now, but in a few years...

Yeah, yeah.

Sorry I'm late.

Michiel, my boy, you did good.

- Thank you. - And you, too.

When I was asked to contribute to protecting the reputation of this city

and to help conduct the clean-up, I was, of course, very honored.

Honored and humbled with the trust put in me with this new job.

Thank you for that.

But this would never have worked without Xandra at my side.

What went through my mind in my first days as a spokesperson?

Does Amsterdam need protection?

Please. It shows the beauty of this city...

What's the meaning of this?

What?

So you can have a drink to celebrate this and I can't?

- You're too young. - And who are you?

Your mother.

It wasn't always fair how it went.

It wasn't always reputable. That's true.

Even if it's just an Italian tourist who's standing on the Dam

and he can't tell the difference between the Bijenkorf and Madame Tussauds.

Too stoned.

Traditionally, the religiously persecuted were also able to catch their breath here.

That's the most important thing that needs to be protected: tolerance.

From the streets to city hall, like Pretty Woman.

But you're no Julia Roberts...

and I know exactly what you are.

That's the pearl of this beautiful capital city.

Let's end this wonderful day with a toast.

To my kind wife. Cheers.

What a day.

Don't wait for me.

Xandra?

Xannie, baby.

I saw you through the window and I thought, "It really is you."

- Come here. - Hey, Pam.

How long has it been?

- You look good. - Thank you. You, too.

- Are you with someone? - Michiel.

He's the mayor's spokesperson now.

How about you?

- I won't be caged. - No.

Peacock.

You'll love it.

Peacock?

- No way. I have to work tomorrow. - Sweetie...

you don't have to do anything.

Hi, honey.

What happened with that cop?

- Something went wrong. - We don't need that, do we?

Who fired?

Hi, Syl.

I received a call on my way here. They raided one of our clubs again.

They want to corner us.

Okay...

We have 3.5 million euros in cash we weren't able to siphon off.

- Next week, we'll have one million more. - Yes!

What do you want to do? What's your plan?

Short-term?

We can move three times as much through the existing companies.

And the new companies?

We're working on it.

Syl, how about your guy at city hall? Can't he take the pressure off a bit?

No, he can't.

Since you decided to have one of your guys kill a cop.

I warned him.

So I had to explain to this man here,

what will happen if you endanger my business.

If one of you ever makes a mistake like that again...

You do your thing and I'll do mine. Okay?

Why are you texting all the time?

What are you doing?

- I work for a kind of events agency. - Are you still in?

Yes.

But as my own boss now.

Arranging clients, looking for girls,

planning appointments.

Is that Ralph?

This is his place.

Faster, faster.

Sweetie...

Oh, God...

Shouldn't we do something together again?

You'd love Bliss.

Listen, in a few days, we have to go to a bankers' party.

I could use an extra pair of hands.

Not like that.

To assist me.

No.

No. I can't do that.

- I promised Michiel. - He doesn't have to know.

It's only for one night.

I need someone I can trust to help me.

Just give it some thought.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Which girls should we take to the bankers' party?

Xandra Keizer.

Yes.

No, I'm on my way.

Okay.

I'm listening.

That would be a first.

Selling fake IDs. Lu, really?

Okay. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I got caught.

- You really think this is funny? - Isn't it all one big joke?

- You trying to be the concerned mother. - Lu,

the principal wants to inform Child Services.

- Do you know what that means? - That you're rid of me again.

Laundering money accompanied by large-scale criminality

has been causing problems for years.

It's odd that these problems only seem to be taken seriously

after one of your people has been killed.

There are limits to what we can tolerate.

It's obvious that they have been crossed.

- So it's an eye for an eye now? - Exactly.

There.

A perfect raid.

Great footage and then we get this. "An eye for an eye."

It makes sense in this case.

And there's nothing wrong with it, is there?

The only thing the viewer remembers is that the police is acting out of revenge.

One of our men was murdered.

Should we just take it lying down?

My deepest condolences.

- But the reputation of our city... - He is...

You can't let people walk all over you.

We're not fighting against something. We're fighting for a cleaner Amsterdam.

His body isn't even cold yet and you're talking about the city's reputation.

Detective, have some patience with Michiel.

It's his first week.

I've got stuff to do.

THE CIRCLE DROP-IN CENTER

THE CIRCLE FOUNDATION

Bee.

Well, well.

How nice.

Hey, Bee.

Hi.

- Important visitors. - Hi. Lulu.

- God, sweetie. I know you so well. - So why don't I know you?

- Lu. - What?

Behave.

It's a good question.

Is it okay if I show her around?

Of course.

So?

What do you see?

Junkies.

No.

People.

Is that why I'm here?

- No. - I don't use drugs.

I'm not stupid enough to get pregnant at 15.

Even if I was, I'd get rid of it.

Lu! Lulu!

Lulu!

- Okay, so you'll confirm the new location? - Yes.

Yeah. And the hostesses.

- Twenty should be enough. - Twenty-four.

- But the budget... - Twenty-four.

Okay?

- Okay? - Yes, okay.

Thank you, that's all.

Hi, sweetie.

I would love to, but I can't right now. Charlotte doesn't give me any peace.

Yes, you always say that.

You just focus on the mayor.

Yeah. I'll read it when I get home, okay?

Yes.

Why not? He loved you last time.

TANNING SALON

Well, sweetie.

Aggressive, drunk and dirty, fine. But boring?

You take the lead next time.

If you do this one, I'll make it up to you at the bankers' party.

Lots of money there.

Okay, that's fine.

- Hi, pussycat. - Hello, Peter.

- It's twice as much as last week. - Then you can earn twice as much.

Yeah.

So, yes or yes?

Good girl. Easy peasy.

I'd answer that. The business has to keep going.

Twice as fast, in fact.

Hey, one more thing. Is Xandra on board?

I'm working on it.

Wonderful.

I'll take care of it myself.

See you soon.

Can you make a report for Communications and PR?

Yes.

And find out why it takes so long to restock the coffee.

That's a nice pair of pants.

Tough meeting?

Not bad.

No, Princeton isn't.

Can you manage, sweetheart?

- Try to keep the car steady. - Of course, doll.

- Ciao, baby. - You'll pick me up in an hour?

Of course.

Okay, wait a minute.

Am I not doing it right?

Yes, you are.

But it can always be better.

That was good, wasn't it?

Is it funny?

Lu?

- Lutje? - It's Lulu.

Good morning, ladies.

I slept very well, thank you. You too?

Lu, can you put your phone away for a minute?

Fried egg?

- What are you doing? - Sweetie.

- I'm trying to talk to you. - I'm in the middle of a conversation.

- No one? - Where we were yesterday...

Oh, right. Michiel.

Xandra took me to a shelter for junkies yesterday.

It's not for junkies. It's a place for people who didn't have much luck in life.

Do you understand it really isn't a place for a little girl?

Can I have my phone back?

I'm trying to tell you something.

- Xan. - Will you stay out of it?

Lu!

- Don't forget the photo shoot next week. - Oh, right. That's fine. Bye.

I don't know when the raid will be.

Give me a bit more time.

I don't have more time.

The crime task force is breathing down my neck.

The crime task force.

That's who you're afraid of?

That madam of yours from Bliss,

she's about to talk.

You have to get me out now.

They want...

As long as I don't have a case against Peter Dolsen,

your case is still open.

The deal I made with the OM is airtight. It's only a few more days.

Days.

I promise you.

Okay.

Mr. De Wolf? The meeting with the mayor has been moved to ten o'clock.

Here are the files you asked for.

- Michiel. - Good morning.

Could you give me some signatures?

Just a formality.

Since you work for the mayor, you also work for some advisory committees.

We all have to pull our weight.

I will read it.

MICHIEL - Will be home around 9:00 p.m. How about you?

Don't know yet. Depends on the big boss.

Xandra.

Ronnie.

- Hi, sweetie. - Kea.

- Kea. - Xandra.

- Janna. - Xandra.

- Are you new? - No, Pam needed some help.

And you are the help?

We can use all the help we can get tonight, sweetie.

Exciting.

- Bankers. - It's not your first time, right?

They can really misbehave, especially in a herd.

- Is that so? - Yes.

I work with those kind of sharks.

- They're not all the same, right? - Maybe you will find your Prince Charming.

You know this is an important night. That's why I brought Xandra with me.

She will assist me tonight.

You will all get 2,500 euros for the entire night.

And 350 for one private hour.

If they want to book you for longer or take you somewhere,

they will have to pay.

Does everyone know what's going on here?

Some do and some don't.

- So for all he knows... - He'll have the time of his life

without knowing it was paid for.

What's her problem?

She wants to be in your shoes.

Why isn't she?

- She's more useful over there. - Pamela.

- Hi! - Congratulations with the ladies.

If they're as good as they look, this will be a night to remember.

I told you I would deliver.

This is Xandra, my partner.

Business partner.

Amazing to meet you.

- See those two gentlemen over there? - Yes.

Will you give them some extra attention?

Without their revenue, we wouldn't even be here.

I'll take care of it.

- Who's that? - Valkenier.

He's the money man. He's our gateway to more of this.

And I think he likes you.

We'll give them Roxy and Rose.

Will you do it?

Hello, ladies.

Do you see those two over there?

- Are they special? - Very special.

The one with the glasses is really something for you.

Nice, the other one is more my type.

Let's go.

Do you see that man with Daisy?

Gave him a fine the other day.

Way too much alcohol. He broke the breathalyzer.

Aren't you afraid he'll recognize you?

No, we were with a bunch of agents. And I look totally different now.

I'll have to arrest someone.

Jesus, what a fancy bunch this is.

I don't know how much they pay you, but it's too much.

Another opening that has to be filled tonight.

Stay here.

Can I offer you something?

Yes.

Just say sorry.

To that whore?

To Rose.

Now.

Sorry.

I can't hear you.

- Sorry. - What?

Sorry, sorry. Sorry, Rose.

Where were you?

- Me? - Yes.

I've cleaned up your mess.

I'm sorry.

Should I?

Yes.

Sweetie, go to that gentleman.

- What a night. - Yes, it was.

So? What did I promise?

To our next collaboration.

Goodbye.

For your help.

- Isn't that too much? - No.

Half each. You've earned it fair and square, partner.

Partner?

What time is it?

Where were you?
