A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

WOMEN OF THE NIGHT

- Xandra? - Is it urgent?

Will you come with me?

Hey, come here.

How are you doing?

What are you doing here, Ralph?

- When did you last talk to Pam? - Why?

I can't get a hold of her.

- I'm starting to worry. - About Pam?

I don't know if Pam told you, but we're partners.

Business partners at Bliss.

I heard you helped her with that party.

I heard it was a success.

Did you enjoy yourself as well?

A backup. Of Pam's contacts.

Xan, would you, till Pam turns up,

- temporarily take charge of things? - Things?

At Bliss.

Take calls from clients, check what they need.

You've met the girls by now.

- You can do this, I'm sure of it. - No.

- Xan... - Why would I do that?

To help Pamela.

Cees, wait.

Michiel, what can I do for you?

That business accelerator for which you were on the board?

They deposited $450 into my account.

Reimbursing expenses, Michiel. Very normal.

Sorry, it feels wrong. I can't accept it.

Michiel, all that paperwork, expense management, receipts...

- Exactly, that's the proper way. - Consider it an advance.

They'll contact you when they need you. It's not a gratuity.

You have to do something for it.

So are we on the same page?

See you tomorrow, Michiel.

I'm tired.

I'm gonna hit the sack.

I'll be right there.

The person you are trying to reach is not responding.

Pam, where are you? Call me.

Well, that smells good.

- May I? - That's fine.

- Lulu. - Ralph suddenly showed up.

And last week, I ran into Pam as well.

Well, just relax.

I just had some drinks with her.

And helped her organize a party.

What kind of party?

Well, she runs a...

She runs a service.

An escort service. Very fancy. Ralph has invested in it.

- Pam is doing very well. - Keep cutting. I have to serve this.

But Pam has been missing for a few days now.

Nothing new about that, of course.

But Ralph asked me if I can take over for her, for the time being,

managing the escorts.

Did you come to ask me if you should?

You know the answer to that very well.

The girls have a photo shoot this afternoon for the website.

I thought maybe I should just go and have a look,

see if she's there.

- Because? - Because I have to know if she's okay.

See you later.

Ronnie.

Yes.

This is Xandra.

"Massage parlor, tanning salon, pizzeria. The third business closed down this week."

Fucking shit. Why doesn't your guy at city hall do something, Syl?

- I warned him. - This can't continue.

- I said I warned him. - And what did he say?

Nothing.

That's not much.

I'll think of something.

What do those criminal organizations do? What's their thing?

Bars, nightclubs, prostitution.

Tanning salons, gyms, transport companies, real estate.

And until recently, they could barely be traced,

- but now everything is online... - No, I understand that.

You can detect curious patterns, identify high returns.

But on TV, the attorney general suggested that the raids are motivated by revenge.

While it concerns millions of euros.

Crime on such a large scale can destabilize the entire city.

People have to realize what's going on.

This story must be told.

"This story must be told."

We have to show how widespread and complex this form of criminality is.

We need cameras that capture the raids.

Show what you do and how you do it.

That's how we win popular support.

Very good. Really, very good.

One of our men was murdered, brutally.

Half his head was gone. He had a wife and children.

His daughters couldn't even see him to give him a farewell kiss.

But you think it's just a story.

A nice opportunity

for a rat in a suit like you to put yourself on the map.

Yeah.

Wait a minute.

- Mrs. Klaassen, do you have a minute? - Excuse me.

We've lost our informant.

She's gone or something bad happened.

Whatever the case, we need to make a deal with one of the others.

- Do I have your blessing? - You lost her?

That's rather sloppy.

We're here.

Call me when you're done.

- Hello. - Are you from the shoot?

- Are you new? - Maybe.

Yes, very sexy.

Check that curl in the back.

Yes! Do you want to take a look? I think we've got it.

That one is great.

Next!

- Girls, this is Anne. - Welcome to the club.

Did Daisy teach you how to give a blowjob yet?

This is Kea, her specialty is giving a good blowjob. That's very important.

I'll teach you, honey.

That may work for the Red Light District, but not here.

- That's up to Pamela. - Is that so?

I think it looks hot.

Take off that makeup and do beige or light pink lipstick perhaps.

But absolutely not Barbie-pink. Put on something else.

- Daisy, your turn. - Pamela always approves us.

- Come. - Yes?

Hey, do you see Pamela anywhere?

I don't. And when she's not here, I decide.

- You're not going to pose like that. - No?

No.

Fuck it, this is really bullshit.

I wear this for the shoot, or I'm out of here.

There's the door.

I'll be right back.

Pam isn't here, I gather.

No.

Wonderful. Such hot chicks.

- Pam isn't here? - No.

Because she asked me to come here.

- When did you talk to her? - Sometime last week.

- Do you think she'll come? - No idea. Are you here for the shoot?

I don't know. I'm actually here to get a taste of the vibe.

- To see if I'd even dare to do this. - And?

No idea.

- Xandra. - Anne.

Why do you want to do this?

I'm a designer, and I'd really like to finance my first collection.

Oh, great.

- What do you make? - Clothes.

- For, you know... - Fashion?

Well, yes.

- Who's Marieke? - Can I help you?

I don't know who the fuck you are and why Pam isn't here.

And I don't really care. But Roxy is going to pose today.

And she'll wear what she feels like. You're going to see to that.

Or else?

Are you serious?

Fine. Anne, will you ask Mohammed and Ruud to come here?

Give them a call.

Hey, Mohammed, I have a situation here. Can you guys come over?

- They're on their way. - Bitch.

I think you can do more than you think.

After, I also want one with the dress on.

Higher.

Do you always fake an orgasm?

When I'm fed up, I do.

What do you think?

Yeah, what do I think? Jesus.

I don't know. I mean... It's not my decision, is it?

Two, three months max and you'll have the money you need.

- Do you want another drink? - That would be nice.

- I have to pee. - No, give me a kiss.

Bliss.

Ralph.

Yes.

Any word from Pam?

Okay. Can you send me the pictures of the shoot?

It's not finished yet.

But I do want to continue with this.

- With prints and stuff. - Nice.

It'll look good on you.

I can understand you wanting to continue with this.

How much do you need for your first collection?

At least $30,000.

Come here.

- Embarrassing. - Here you're still insecure.

Timid.

That's you.

I understand your hesitation.

You get paid for sex, so that makes you a whore.

But only because you choose to be.

All that matters is what you think.

And when I look at this,

I see a beautiful woman who knows exactly what she wants.

Think about it.

Okay.

Call me when you've decided.

- Jeroen. - Xandra.

She's so fucking ambitious that she's probably going to do it.

But it's not for her. It will destroy her.

It's not my decision.

Nor yours, by the way.

Bye.

- Hey. - Hi, sweetie.

Yes, there's the mayor's new right-hand man.

Well, spokesman, really.

"Who will contribute to implementing Amsterdam's clean-up,

so Amsterdam will shine like never before?"

- So? - Really nice.

Yes.

Guys, I live here, too.

Did you finish your homework, Lu?

- Sort of. - "Sort of"?

That's not an answer. What do you mean by that?

"Fuck off, Mom. Die, I hope you burn in hell forever?"

Well, a little bit of both.

- Did we used to be like that? - You?

Never.

- No. - Never.

No.

Koen was talking about a new club where we could all go this weekend.

So I thought we'd go. That means you as well.

- I don't think so. Probably not. - Because?

Xandra is being such a pain.

- Louise Keizer? - Lulu Keizer, yes.

Sorry, but who are you?

- Rachid. I have a present for you. - Come on. Rachid.

Why are you giving her a present if you don't know her?

It's not from me. It's from someone who wants to get to know you.

But you don't want to get to know her?

- Maybe I do. - Maybe you do. Thanks, Rachid.

Here, give up. Thanks, dude. Later, bye.

I've seen a lot of freaks, but this one...

- Thanks. - No problem.

"Dear Louise, I think we should meet. Grandma."

"Grandma"? I thought you didn't have one.

That makes no sense. What's going on?

You look beautiful.

Thanks.

Sorry.

Not now.

What's the matter?

- Are you finding it difficult? - Yes.

We'll wait, so you can pull yourself together.

You have time.

Here, talk to Xandra.

That's me.

And then?

There I stood. Fortunately, he was very well-trained. A detective can see that.

Ronnie.

Hello, it's Anne.

Hello.

Sorry to bother you, by the way.

I have no idea why I'm calling, but I'm here now and...

I'm not sure, I think.

Okay.

Look...

Maybe I was just wrong about you.

Maybe I saw something that wasn't there.

- Sorry. - No, really.

No, I think you're probably right.

You know what? Just ask Ronnie to take you home.

And then he'll go get another girl.

- Anne? - I don't know what to say.

It's okay, really. Just go home.

And I'm sure you'll manage to pull off your collection.

I'll just do it. I'm going to go in...

I'm going to go in and I... Yes.

Yes, very good.

Good luck, Anne.

Sorry that I called you. I'm going... Don't worry. Have a nice evening.

Okay.

- Just let it ring. - No, maybe it's Charlotte.

Let me go.

Hello.

No, it's not a problem.

Yeah, give him to me.

- I... I have to pick something up. - Now?

- Sorry, I just had no idea... - How did it go?

He said I was fantastic, so...

Never mind. I don't need the money.

- Ronnie will take you home. - That's not necessary. I can walk.

Hey, Anne.

And?

Bye.

Mission accomplished?

Yes, it went well.

- Why would she suddenly contact you? - I don't know.

Should I go with you?

No.

Maybe it's not your grandma at all, but some...

Why did your mother always tell you she was dead?

I don't know. You may have four grandparents,

two parents, three sisters and I don't know how many nieces and nephews,

I only have Xandra.

Are you sure?

Louise, darling.

Come in.

Go ahead.
