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?

I do not speak Dutch.

You do not speak Dutch?

Can I help you?

Yeah ... I'm looking for a book ...

It's called ... "Tristan and Isolde".

I'm not sure I've ...

I take a look.

You waiting for?

Oh, great God.

You can wash the baby up, if you will. - Yes, please.

No, just grab the bag but.

It is a girl? - My little girl.

How old is she? - 59 days.

My little girl is 59 more days old.

Not very.

Are you thirsty? I make tea?

Good. If you make anyway.

Are you from Scotland? - No, I'm Irish.

From the North or South? - From the North.

And where do you live? - Near Belfast.

What time is it? - At two, I think.

Then I should really go. - The tea is ready.

Sorry, I have to go.

Do not have time to stay here? - No, I'm late.

Are you here on vacation?

Passing through. - Where to?

"Tristan and Isolde"? - I think there is one.

I take it? - Yes fine.

I need your address. - No, I pass sometimes.

It's really no problem. - If you have a jar in the window, I come in.

I hope to see you soon.

there's nothing to hear! Nothing! Go away!

Leave me alone!

What did you do there?

What did you thus make? Follow your customers forever?

No. - Why are you following me?

Want something to drink with me? - What to drink?

Ok, first.

And I want to show you something. - Ok.

Are you saying I did too? - Yeah, like your hair imitated.

How do you know she picks up her sleeve?

Maybe they just scratching her leg.

And when she is naked,

why she's still in her shoes?

I like the beautiful colors, but otherwise ... - Are you intrigued?

I mean, you see everything. Her legs, breasts ...

but not her face. As if she has a secret.

I found it beautiful painting, except the shoes.

I read somewhere that it was a prostitute.

Always keep their shoes on?

Yes. They never take off.

We have not imagined yet.

I am Philip.

I am Eileen.

Philip White.

the White. With a W?

And you?

My name starts with a W.

He starts with a W. That's all I'm going to tell you, okay?

Of course.

Are you married?

I'd rather not.

Sorry. It was pure interest.

But she is your daughter? - Yes.

She's my princess.

I think I can find your book does. - In English?

Of course.

Will it be expensive?

No, if I find it, you get it from me.

I'd rather pay.

Then it will not be for sale.

This is the place where I stay.

You can have it delivered there?

Do you mind if I bring it yourself? - No, it is not.

What do you do in this town, Eileen W.?

Listen, I can not say. It is too much and too strange, OK?

What do you want from me?

Why do you want to give me that book?

I have to give her to eat. I'll be right back.

Come on, baby.

Susan has a customer.

I'll wait upstairs.

Where is my wife?

Where is my wife?

Where is she?

I can longer remain so than you.

Where is she?

You've seen her.

Ginny had them with him?

Why did you come here?

Why? To the letter.

You remember the letter anyway?

I found out where she was staying and they told me that letter ...

which you took.

I want to see him.

Why? - Why?

Because she is fucking my wife. I'm looking for her for over a month.

I run more than one month from Belfast and you ask me why?

Listen, whoever you are.

You just get that letter to me. Understood?

Get it for me.

Get it for me.

Get it for me. Get it for me!

And no more fooling huh?

What is this about?

About Tristan and Isolde? - Do not you know that?

It is a Celtic legend. - Tells me nothing.

From the Middle Ages. - Go on.

It's about a king Mark ... - King who?

King Mark, who wants to marry Isolde.

He sends his proteg Tristan to get her ..

but Tristan and Isolde get, something with a magic potion ...

And King Mark is the dick.

Well. He is the...

tragic hero.

Is he?

What's in that envelope?

Read it to me.

The bitch!

Don't move!

Where is that address?

In Amsterdam ... - Where in Amsterdam?

I would so not know. The dock I think.

Somewhere in the dock, don't you think?

Put on your coat, we're going for a ride.

Hurry up.

Wie is Susan?

Wie is Tristan?

Who is King Mark?

What's your name?

My name is Nolan ...

Marc Nolan...

King Mark. From a Celtic legend.

You know, do not you? Little bookworm.

That's my name.

King Struggles.

Move.

Wie is die Susan Callagher?

Her best friend.

They went to school together.

What did they do in Amsterdam? - I have no idea. I have not seen her much.

You can go. - No. I go along.

Listen, I do not need you. - I think so. If she is not there.

You have not seen her for a month.

Letting go. Back!

Search him!

Get your arms up. Higher.

His legs.

Armpits.

Fun.

Where is Susan?

Why should I answer?

That's why.

Where is she? - Probably a busy job.

She does not work for me. - Who is she work for?

For someone else. - Who?

What is his name?

Cesar.

Well done.

Now we are making progress.

OK. Let's go. You'd better not lying to me.

Where are we?

Question there.

What is he saying? Flicker on there.

Ask them.

Screw you.

Ask him.

You know Cesar? He asked you a question.

I think so.

30 Gulden please.

Keep the change. - Thank you.

How d'you get it?

Tristan?

Kevin Fletcher.

What is that? - Tea.

I was looking for a secretary ... - So you said.

I was looking for a secretary ...

and a woman asked if her daughter could come.

Your food is ready.

Where was I?

Eileen came apply.

I...

Rechtsstreeks she left school. She was clever, and beautiful.

So I gave her probation.

After a month she turned the matter alone. Can you imagine? And month?

I asked her a couple of times out. But no. 9 to 5. More not.

I brought her a few times at home, do you understand?

Ken Susan Callagher?

D'you know Susan?

Susan Gallagher. A redheaded girl. She comes here sometimes.

Stop that!

Don't. - Don't ask me anything more question. Don't you understand?

Please.

Who are you anyway?

Well?

A few days later she came to me.

To thank me, she said.

So I asked her out to dinner.

She said 'Yes'.

They kept "Yes," say, do you?

The next moment she is pregnant and we got married.

You know Susan Gallagher? A redhead. Here comes sometimes.

No, I know something better.

So she was pregnant and you were married.

She was pregnant and we were married.

My best time.

A woman have who loves you and cares for you.

Do you know anything about h?

The baby was too fast. - Too fast?

Too fast. Too early. Born too early. You understand?

I was crazy. She did not speak to me again.

There must have happened during the birth.

It must have been hard for her. She did not speak to me again.

I was crazy.

I was really almost crazy.

Why am I telling you this fact. Why I talk anyway?

The door is open.

Regular customer?

50 Gulden.

Kneeling is 25 extra.

Are you Susan Gallagher?

Beginning in any pocket. - You pay to fuck me.

Seeking Eileen.

I do not know Eileen. Leave me alone.

I got a letter from her with your address in it.

Screw you. Get the hell end up.

Shut up!

I will not strangle you. Tell me where she is.

Beginning in no flicker. - Listen. I do not hurt her.

But Marc was in the city with a gun. - I do not know Marc.

Listen! Eileen is at risk. Marc knows her and Kevin.

Now tell me where she is going. I need your help for her.

Which room was it you said? - 34.

Up there?

That's for you. Keep out of this, okay?

Get dressed. We go.

Susan, Marc is in the hotel.

Ok�, Kevin...

I do one thing.

I just want my daughter. Give up. - Put that thing away.

Mind your own business.

I want my daughter.

I do not let my daughter grow up with hookers and junkies.

Get out and take it with you slut.

I'm sorry, Marc. I am really sorry. But please go away.

You're fucking my wife. - Go away. Leave me alone.

I want nothing from you. I just want my daughter.

No. - Why did you leave me?

Kevin? I was good for you.

Look at me, Eileen. Why?

"Separation brings such sweet pain."

There you are!

Are you on time?

Do not think we'll wait for you.

Simon, come. We'll be late. Pack your bags.

Can you pick them up later? - Of course.

Day, baby. Get in.

Please. Thanks. What now? Why will not you go to school?

You can not play with the horse if you do not go to school.

If you go to school, you can play with the horse.

I go to work, so you go to school, right?

Daag.

What are you doing here?

I live here. I'm kind of nanny to the children.

What are you doing here? - I am one of the architects ...

I am here for the renovation.

You look good.

You look different.

It is now two years ago, right? - Yes.

How is it with you?

Pressure...

Maybe we'll see each other tomorrow. Perhaps.

Mr. White. - Sorry to bother you, but ...

I come for Eileen. Can I see her here?

Sorry. Who can you?

Eileen. She takes care of your children.

I think you're mistaken. Her name is...

Caren.

Caren? - Caren O'Connor.

She's upstairs. Should I call her?

No, not necessarily. I made a mistake rather cheesy.

Good evening. - Bye.

Where do I begin? - At the beginning. Marc.

Kevin.

Well. He came to make the heater.

Black hair, blue eyes. He was just beautiful.

For both of us love at first sight.

We met Susan, secretly.

All very romantic. And everything was safe.

Were you married to Marc? - Please do not say.

Marc was when my boss.

I took the job because Kevin worked there. Secretarial job.

I was doing my accounts, but go to bed with him?

That was my own fault. I panicked.

Only by this stupid war.

Kevin wanted to run away and leave everything, but I did not dare.

Now he's dead.

Do they know who did it?

And any dealer that Kevin had not paid.

Kevin arms.

Drugs.

That was my mistake. He could not stand that I was married to Marc.

I did it they killed him differently for him.

For you it sounds extreme, but you do not know what it's like.

I was a Catholic, a Protestant pregnant ...

They had beaten him quite dead.

Who then?

The local IRA. Hooligans. Extremists.

What else could I?

No idea. Abortion perhaps?

It was Kevin's child.

He wanted me to run away with him ...

but I did not, because he was so unstable.

When we met, he was on drugs.

Because his parents were murdered by the IRA.

He was only a boy.

If he was upset, I could not even comfort him.

I even thought for a moment to take the child to a monastery ...

to go. I could not guarantee Kevin's safety.

There was only one way to protect him and my child.

Marrying Marc.

I have noticed that he had a crush on me.

I hated him.

With his beer belly and his football mentality.

I had no choice. I went once with Marc to bed.

Can you imagine? Marc, after Kevin?

A few weeks later I told him ...

I was pregnant by him. And we got married.

A Kevin?

Which turned all the way through ...

increasingly began to use more drugs ...

and just disappeared.

I thought I was going crazy.

Can you imagine what that was?

Being married and crave another?

If you so long a stranger resides, will you hate him naturally.

Marc was in love with me ...

he made his demands ...

and had his rights ...

I do not know how I got through those months.

Then Ginny came, everything just got worse ...

as two drops of Kevin.

I loved Kevin in my arms ...

Kevin drank my milk ...

Kevins eyes me helpless aankeken ...

Kevin himself knew already that he would go. Before they all came.

Then I suddenly got the letter from Susan. She knew where he was.

When you came to Amsterdam. To Holland.

I had no doubts. I just flew over.

I had to.

I want him to see his daughter.

I could not find him anywhere.

Until I finally found him.

Finally I saw him again.

He was dead.

In Mark?

He came to see me in 'The Playstation.

With this grill between us, I dare tell him about Ginny.

He threw his wedding ring in the cell.

That's enough for ten days. Damn Dutch police.

How did you get here?

I went to London to start my life anew.

I had changed everything. Even my name. - Caren O'Connor.

A job agency took this job for me.

I find it really great here. I can breathe.

Ginny and can grow up safe here. They do not do what I did.

I do not think they ever go to Ireland.

That will be easy for her. Do you ever go back? - Never.

Do you want?

That's really hot, sir.

What about you?

Why are you helping me? things went so badly?

And, absoluut.

Whose shop is? You're an architect?

Are you married?

No.

And the woman who was with you yesterday? - A journalist. Writes about my work.

It's not me.

No, it's Marjan.

My wife.

Three years ago, just before she died.

And years later, you walked into the shop.

I'm not her.

I know. I've encountered.

It would be impossible.

Do you think it would matter ...

why you're attracted to someone?

I do not know.

The pain goes away. It's quite a clich, but ...

heal wounds. - Tell me anything about pain.

I've had it up to here. I will never have again.

I understand.
