I'll call you tonight. -Take care of yourself.

LOOKING FOR EILEEN

Philip! Let's have a break.

Your shoelace came undone.

Are you telling him today? -I can't postpone it again.

And?

If I get it, I'll have to pursue it.

So you're going.

I think I'd do the same.

And you want to go to Jakarta without me.

I miss you already. -I'm still here.

When you'll come back after a year, I'll be picking you up...

and we'll be very shy when we'll look at each other.

Jesus, a year!

Who knows what books you might have collected by then.

And Shelley and Keats and Wordsworth. -When is that auction in London?

Next week.

I should have received that invitation by now.

When are you leaving? -In three weeks.

You'll have to expect a budget change.

Of what size?

No less than 3.

That's fine. -Excellent.

Will you be overseeing things?

I've delegated that to Mr De Wit.

Everything you liked in this design, came from him.

Excellent.

I'll see you in Jakarta in three weeks.

Philip, I can go to the auction! I've got it!

Little bookworm. -You to Jakarta, me to London.

The shop's closed, Geoffrey. -But the door's open.

The shop's still closed.

Nonsense, the door's open, Marjan.

If the door's open, the shop's open.

Come back in an hour.

I have no time in an hour. -Tomorrow then, go!

Keep an eye on him when I'm in London.

He's the biggest book thief in Haarlem.

And he knows what he pinches.

Philip, it's past nine!

If anything's wrong, leave a message for me in the hotel.

Do you know how I feel?

Like when you saw me for the first time? -Almost.

I'm allowed to make bids alongside the big guys.

Just make sure you get those books.

And I insist on a present.

You're sweet.

I'll call you tonight. -Take care of yourself.

Byron. -Shakespeare, silly.

Are you cold?

Yes? -Isn't Marjan home?

She's in London. -Damn, since when?

Since this morning. Anything else?

I brought her something.

Where did you get it? -It's a gift from my sister.

But if you browse through it once, you know it all.

Faber Bookshop.

No, she just left for an auction in London.

Finally I get to look after the shop again.

Wait a moment.

I'm back.

In fifteen days. Cholera, typhoid, the whole mess.

Try again on Friday, ok? Bye.

We don't get a lot of demand for this. Fifteen bucks.

Fifteen bucks?

You don't know shit. It cost 120 in the shop.

It's going to take years to sell. -Double it, 30 bucks.

When will Marjan be back? -25 guilders.

Ok, ok. All shopkeepers rip people off.

Faber Bookshop.

Yes, Philip De Wit.

Yes, she lives here.

What do you want?

Yes.

Yes, of course.

Problems?

Is anything wrong?

Hey man, did anything happen?

Can I help?

He's not in. I rang ten times.

He has to be in. I don't understand.

You're Philip's father.

I'm Marjan's brother, Henk Faber.

Philip told me about you.

Philip!

I don't trust this.

Did you take these pills? Did you take something?

It was sheer luck. I could only fly via Boston and London.

I wish you hadn't come. -I had to be with you.

I mean you didn't have to come.

85, 90, 95, 100...

ONE YEAR LATER

Sold! Next lot.

Colour reproductions. I'm starting at 300 guilders.

300, 400... 650...

750 once, 750 twice, sold! Faber in Arnhem.

Can I see the next lot?

Good morning, boss. -Good morning.

You've got them! How much? -1800.

That's expensive. But it's beautiful.

Maybe it will make some money. -Let's register it.

... 2 parts, London, 1890. Slight water damage in part 2.

Not so fast, man!

I'm not an author.

...London, 1848.

That's a cool story, man. Don't you know it?

You don't read enough.

He's got a whole bookshop, but what does he read?

The telephone book.

Faber, good afternoon.

Wait, I'm the assistant, Geoffrey.

Yes, he's here.

Wait! Wait!

Your father.

What are you doing here?

Great.

How long are you staying? -Until Wednesday.

Then I have to return to Houston.

When Marjan had just died, the weather was beautiful.

Strange contrast.

You'd want the leaves to fall from the trees out of sadness.

Maybe that's what makes fate so cruel. That it's so indifferent.

If only you could blame someone.

Can I have a drag? -Since when are you smoking again?

Since now.

How's your business?

A first impression of the Max Havelaar still doesn't buy me a bread.

I don't understand you.

Why don't you pick up your own work again?

I'm staying in the shop, dad.

Can I ask you something?

Will you come with me to the cemetery?

Have you never been there?

Of course.

Marjan's parents gave me this for you.

When did you see them? -Last night.

They're very sorry they never see you anymore.

What was the number again?

Of the grave.

3112 C.

It's all the way in the back. In the new part.

She's not buried there. -Philip!

3112 C, dad, please!

That's not Marjan.

Where has she been buried then?

She's buried here. Here!

Philip!

One day, I had to come to terms with the fact that your mother was gone.

But that's what I don't want!

Come, I'm not staying here.

Marjan!

Marjan!

Marjan was here.

You can't do this, Philip!

I saw Marjan. She was walking towards the shop.

It's impossible! Marjan's gone!

I'm not crazy. She was right here!

It's impossible!

Marjan's dead!

I'm not tired at all.

5 o'clock is fine.

I think it's a good idea.

We'll have dinner and then I'll take you to the airport.

Until 6 o'clock.

We've got staff these days, dad.

Yes, the coloured guy.

What about Indonesian? I know a place.

Just come to the shop.

Can I be of any help?

Can I help you?

Philip, I've got the complete Dickens!

Philip!

Philip, are you upstairs?

I'm Geoffrey.

Can you go to the shop, please?

This is impossible. -Go to the shop.

But this is impossible.

Well, did I go crazy?

I've gone crazy. -No man, I saw it too.

She just walked into the shop.

What are you waiting for? Go after her!

Can I clear the table?

Did you see a woman with a child? -A child?

A baby. -I wouldn't know.

Have you been here long? -Since 11 this morning.

That's long. Thank you.

That girl from this afternoon... -Which girl?

With the pony tail and the baby.

I don't know her. -You do, why else would she be here?

Why are you here? Why are we all here?

It's a half an hour drive. -This boy can do it in ten minutes.

I want to leave. -Just sit down.

Not very nice of you.

How often do we see each other? -You're right.

Did you find her?

How is it possible, Geoffrey? You saw it. How is it possible?

What's her name? -Whose name?

What's her name? -Eileen.

She looks just like Marjan.

I have to leave. I can't miss that flight.

Accompany me.

Never mind, dad. I'd rather stay here.

What's going on with you?

Don't do anything stupid.

Have a good trip. Don't worry. -I worry anyway.

Why was she here? -For a book.

What book?

Tristan and Isolde.

We don't have it.

We'll buy it. What did she say about the pacifier?

I don't understand it. What does it mean?

I don't know, man.

I'll call you tomorrow night. I'll send you a ticket.

Do you need a room? -I'm looking for someone who stays here.

I only know her first name: Eileen. -Wait a moment!

Mum! She left without paying.

Do you know her? -She ordered a book with me.

She's a fraud. She took her stuff and left with her retarded backpack.

Didn't she leave an address?

In London, but it must be fake. Where's that letter?

There.

We found a letter under her bed. -Yeah right, in English.

She lives in Amsterdam and her name's Susan Callagher.

Can you translate it?

Dear Isolde, I see your shadow on every wall.

Seek solace on your shoulder... My face feels like...

The roughness of rocks...

Magic potion... Don't forget about me...

Tristan.

What good is that to me?

Don't forget about me.

Tristan.

Hey man, this is Donna.

From my sister's team. -What?

I play football with Anita.

Why are you standing there? She wants to dance with you.

What are we going to do?

I asked if she wants to come to the shop with you one day.

Why not now? -My mind's not with it.

And she's much too nice for that.

Thanks.

Where's Caesar?

Do you know where Caesar is? -No, I don't.

Leave me alone.

Yes?

What? -I know where Caesar is.

Are you Caesar?

Do you know Susan Callagher?

I'm here to see Susan.

I'm looking for Susan Callagher, ok? Sorry.

Room 34.

Tony!

The room's 25 per half hour. Pay the rest upstairs.

I only want to talk to her. -That's what they all say.

Out!

I don't hear anything anymore.

When did you meet her for the first time?

Two days ago. -By coincidence?

Have a seat.

She wanted to buy a book in the shop.

Fletcher case, testimony of... What was your name?

De Wit, Philip. -De Wit.

Did you see her after she left the Wang Hotel?

Wong. -Wong, Wang, both no good.

Have you seen her after that?

I went straight to Susan's house.

Because I thought she might still be there.

This Irish Mr Nolan... you were with him all night?

Except for 45 minutes.

And Susan Callagher?

I didn't know her.

You didn't know her? -I didn't.

And that boy who was shot dead, Kevin Fletcher?

I didn't know him either.

I only knew Eileen.

What's wrong with that? -She's our main suspect.

Eileen?

Eileen.

That's impossible.

That's really not possible.

What did Marc Nolan do in those 45 minutes?

He went to 2 bars. Good alibi.

Do you really have no idea where Eileen went?

We're very grateful for this conversation.

When did your wife pass away? -Last year.

Try to bury her.

TWO YEARS LATER

JOUVEMONT BELGIUM

It would be best to start on the side walls tomorrow.

Why the side walls?

A house consists of sidewalls and a roof, sir.

How long will it all take? -About two months.

And the roof? -That will be finished in February.

You agreed to it, sir.

I didn�t realise how much work it is.

In half a year it'll look like new.

Let's discuss the details over dinner.

Geoffrey, I'll be there soon. -I'm going.

He'll be there soon. Me too.

You won't believe who I saw.

Oh no.

At the castle.

You're crazy. -She works there.

Sure. -I talked to her. It's her.

Wasn't she in jail?

Is your assistant coming too? -Yes, but maybe you can excuse me.

I'm afraid I have to go.

But Babette was going to do that interview with you.

That can wait until tomorrow.

Then I can go to the castle to check something.

I saw Eileen. -At the castle, as a ghost.

I have to go and ask her what happened back then.

Jesus, Philip, another look-alike?

That's my business.

What do you want? Start over?

I just want to talk to her. That's all.

Sorry.

In love.

To those who yearn and those who are happy

To the discontented and to those who long

To the cheerful and the sad To all who love.

May they find comfort for disloyalty and injustice

For envy, for sadness For all sorrows of love.
