And when I was 16, she kicked me out.

Why?

Because she...

She was a junkie...

and unscrupulous and crazy.

If you're going to doubt everything I say, this will be pointless.

Hello.

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

WOMEN OF THE NIGHT

I...

I got kicked out of three schools.

And I drank.

And I smoked pot.

And I stole things.

So, I was unruly.

It all had a reason.

I was never safe.

Sylvia was completely unpredictable.

Sometimes, she...

Sometimes she was really sweet and happy.

But her mood could suddenly turn.

For no apparent reason. And then...

Then she turned into the devil.

So, when she suddenly kicked me out, I was mainly...

relieved, you know?

Free at last.

I thought.

- And then? - Then I started living on the streets.

Lots of booze, drugs, wrong guys.

And then I got pregnant with you.

I was so happy.

Do you know who my father is?

We started living at Beatrix's. It was safe there.

We spent a lot of time there. I worked sometimes, and things were okay.

But I was too young.

Unstable.

And then they took me away from you.

A lot of things went wrong.

Many things. And finally, I ended up in jail for something silly.

Michiel had just become a lawyer, and he helped me.

He got me out of prison, and then he chose me.

I said goodbye to my old world...

and everyone in it.

How come you never told me this?

Was it that difficult?

From the mayor.

We can't touch these companies, because they are too important for the city.

Can you find out who gave these companies their license?

And when?

Hey.

If we want to catch De Wolf, I need some solid information.

I don't have easy access to it.

Just get it done.

Dammit.

This is the voicemail of Xandra Keizer.

Leave a message after the beep.

Shall we go for a swim, Lu?

No.

Good night.

You have one new message.

Where are you? Please let me know if you are safe.

If Lulu is okay. I don't care if you are in a hotel or not...

We are spending a few days away.

Is Lulu okay? Where are you guys?

Lulu is okay. Croatia.

Hi. Do you like it?

It's awesome.

Hi, girl.

Hello.

It is beautiful here. Incredible.

Come.

You must be Bibi.

How nice to meet you in person.

Did Anne tell you everything?

- I did, didn't I? - Think so.

Let's see if you like it, the next couple of days.

Come on, we'll go pick out a room.

- Interesting acquisition. - I brought my daughter along.

Don't ask me why. I had no other choice. I told her you were hostesses.

- Hostesses? - Yes. Is that a problem for you?

No, I'm fine with it.

Okay.

Let the girls know what they need to do, and have them stick to that story.

Anne needs to babysit Lulu. She can shop while you girls go to the Beach Bar.

Is that clear?

- Crystal clear. - Great.

Welcome, baby.

Three days, exclusively for you and I.

It's quite expensive, but look at what you get.

Yo!

- What the fuck are you doing here? - I thought, "Croatia,

sun, sea, cocktails with my big brother." Who doesn't want that?

How many times have I told you to not think and just do what I say?

Chill out, man. What's the issue?

- He can keep Lulu company. - Did I ask you to come to Croatia?

Come here.

Go with them. See if you can make yourself useful.

- Now. And don't interfere until I ask you. - I won't.

Unbelievable.

Lulu?

Come.

- Girls, this is Lulu, Xandra's daughter. - Hi, Lulu, Xandra's daughter.

Hi.

Anne, could you keep her occupied?

- Shall we go for a swim? - I forgot to bring my bikini.

Let's solve that problem. Let's see.

- Here. - Yes.

Yeah.

By the way, she thinks we're hostesses.

Have you heard from my mother?

- No reprisals? - No.

I don't work for her anymore. And neither do you. She's gone.

At home, I have stuff for you to run through the books.

That's not a problem, is it?

This is the program for this afternoon. Beauty treatments,

- shopping, then free time, and dinner. - And going out.

- If you want to, but save your energy. - Party!

Tomorrow, we'll start with a lunch with clients,

followed by cocktails and, possibly, private bookings,

followed by even more cocktails

and dinner here or wherever the client takes you.

If you are free at night, I expect you to come to the party.

- Any questions? - Who are our clients?

Mainly people from Amsterdam City Management.

- Civil servants who want to cut loose. - Civil servants. That's going to be wild.

For now, enjoy.

I will see you in two hours when we go back to the villa.

Do you have a moment?

Richard just texted me.

An old client who is here with his boat in the harbor.

And he wants to know if I can come by tomorrow.

Did you tell him you were here?

He asked me if I was available.

Okay. I'll meet you back here afterwards.

Okay.

Janna...

a recurring client is still a client. Do you understand?

He's my client. Please have him call me.

- Yes? - Yes.

And he pays, regardless of how much you like him.

Lulu, come here. This is perfect for you.

- Hey, Anne? - Yes?

I have a date tomorrow on a boat in the harbor...

- with a client and... - Janna.

I think this is more than just business.

He is very interested and sweet, and I am looking for something special.

Honey...

this doesn't suit you.

This suits you.

Let's go try it on. I think it will look great on you.

Xan?

Mom?

Mom?

Mom?

What I'm trying to say is that I need to produce a paper on behalf of the mayor.

So, I need information that can only be found in those reports.

De Wolf is not... Who are you calling?

- Mr. De Wolf's personal assistant. - That's not needed.

- That is a... - Hello? I have...

Pressman.

Pressman at my desk, who wants to speak to De Wolf.

Okay.

Michiel Pressman.

I had a quick question.

Because?

Where, may I ask?

Croatia?

No, I'll call him on his cell phone.

- Hi, honey. - Do you all fuck these men as well?

Fuck, I'm sorry. Sorry.

Why would you do that?

This.

This is what I want. My own collection.

If I want to achieve this, I need loads of money.

I know what you are thinking.

I get it, but trust me. Everyone here has a good reason.

What does Xandra do?

She... arranges things.

I find it a bit complicated to explain, but for me, it's very clear.

This gives me complete freedom.

This is what I want. It is my dream.

Please promise me you won't say anything to your mother.

No.

Why are you in Croatia?

I thought a couple of days away...

- with my daughter would be nice. - Quit bullshitting.

- Excuse me? - My boss is in Croatia.

A real estate convention. A getaway with City Marketing, but he knows you.

- What exactly is your problem? - I changed that list. He cannot see you...

Xandra.

What's wrong?

Don't you get sick and tired of it all?

Some clients are better than others.

Sometimes you just need to tune out.

- Usually, I'm having a good time. - Could someone zip me up, please?

A real good time.

Nice guys, a nice dinner, good sex,

and then I could do as I please, because of all the money.

- Do you have boyfriend trouble? - Yes. Also,

I'm having trouble designing, things at home are not good...

I've had enough of it.

Anne, you can quit whenever you want.

Why would you quit?

Then everything has been for nothing.

Do you want your collection or not?

Yes.

- Do you want your fashion show? - Of course.

Well, then don't quit.

That would be such a waste.

- I have a date with Richard tomorrow. - Remind me, please.

We have had one date.

We had such a good time.

It was so special.

We just clicked.

I don't know, but it feels good.

But this feels good as well, doesn't it?

- Feel this. - This feels so good.

- Holy shit! - This feels so good.

Lulu? Are you coming for dinner?

Lu...

now.

Well, enjoy your meal.

I'm going to the town. Are you okay staying here for an hour?

- Where are you going? - I have to arrange some stuff.

What kind of stuff?

Just stuff.

How can I believe you, about the past, about Sylvia, about us,

when you are constantly lying to me?

Everything I told you is true.

Shut up! I'm not an idiot. I see what is going on here!

- Hostesses? They are whores. - Hey!

- Act normally, will you? - They are whores! They get paid for sex!

A high-paid whore, perhaps, but still a whore!

Lu?

Lu? Those girls are...

They are indeed escort girls. And I am here to help them out a bit.

Do you understand? I wanted to come to Croatia with them, but that will be it.

And I...

What a fucked up mess.

Lu, I thought it would be better if I didn't tell you.

I'm sorry.

- I understand what you said about Sylvia. - Yes?

- That you don't know what will happen. - Did she do something?

No. She didn't.

You did.

Because you are exactly the same.

Hey.

There you are.

Hey.

- Champagne? - Thank you.

Did you...

- Did you talk to Xandra? - Don't worry, it's all okay.

Cheers.

I will rent a parasol and a lounge chair so you can swim. Okay?

- So, you mean "stay out of my way"? - What do you want, Lu?

Do you want to stay here to see them work?

I assume you understand that this is a no-go area.

Lu?

- Hey. - Hey.

I'm here, too.

Guys, there is a place further down where they rent boats and a banana boat.

Here you go.

Have a nice day.

- Harder, please. - Is this better?

- Scaredy-cat. - Me?

Yes.

Champagne?

There you go.

I'm sorry.

Hey.

Hey.

Excuse me.

- Everything's good? - Yes.

Nice to see you here.

We've met before.

Indeed. Xandra, right?

My compliments. Really top-notch. Croatia. Girls. You.

Can I...

- Can we... - There is plenty to choose from.

Bibi, could you go over to Cees de Wolf, please?

Him?

Cees de Wolf.

He's Michiel's boss.

- He knows I'm his wife. Is that a problem? - No, De Wolf does what I tell him to do.

I know things about him. It's as simple as that.

Lulu and Tito together. That's a great idea.

Can you make sure he will be here tomorrow?

Whatever you want, baby.

Very good.

Do you know what was in that suitcase?

- No, but I have a hunch. - What?

- Drugs? - No, money.

- Level two. - Well done.

Why does Xandra need money?

- I assume laundering it for Ralph? - Laundering?

Yes, Ralph's dirty money.

It's illegal, so it has to be laundered.

- And then it's clean. - Sure.

That's how it works.

- Your turn. - Okay.

- Gas pedal. - Yes.

I got it.

Do you know how she wants to do it?

I assume via the escort service.

- Look at him go! - Did you know those girls were escorts?

- Of course. - Of course.

You didn't know that?

Shall we get a drink?

Coca-Cola?

- Or a cocktail? - Cocktail.

This is your...

very first...

Your very first...

Yes.

Take your shoes off.

Let me.

You are a worthless whore. Really.

Worthless.

Don't say it's your first time. Say it's your third time. People will believe that.

This life...

is not for you.

Not for you.

Some people would use a crystal ball instead.

Marina Carmin. Enchantée.

Xandra.

"There, found it."

Weren't you with De Wolf?

Yes.

Are you okay?

Yes.

I can do this.

Xandra, are you coming with me?

No, go ahead. I'm going to the villa.

Shall we go see what's going on inside?

No.

- No? - No.

Coward.

Then I'll go by myself.

So, you are coming?

- How do they know each other? - From when they were young.

Does he own the escort service?

No, Xandra does.

Or they both do.

So, she is also friends with the guys with the guns?

Well, at least she is friendly with Ralph.

What are you guys doing here? I told you you couldn't come here.

Where were you?

I must have called you ten times.

If you want, I could spend the night.

- You should have called in last night. - I had a booking.

You don't have to pay for it.

I like to pay for you.

He wanted me to spend the night.

SEE YOU NEXT BOOKING. RICHARD.

Jesus. Freshen up a bit. You look terrible.

I want to see you in ten minutes, okay? Radiant.

Do you understand me?

Janna.

Immediately.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Nothing at all.

I like to pay for you.

We have some time left, if you want.

I like to pay for you.

It was perfect.

Not tonight.

A client books you, he pays, and that's it.

- Here, look! - Where?

- He is really big. - Holy shit!

Fuck. That's the guy that works for Sylvia. Call Ralph, now.

This is Ralph.

- What? - Sylvia's guys.

What?

- Get out of here! - Where's Lu? I...

- Get out of here! - I need to know where Lu is!

Wait for the lady!

Hey, this is Lulu. Call me back.

Hey, this is Lulu.

If something happens to her, I'll kill you!

Hey, this is Lulu.

Hey, this is Lulu.
