Original subtitles

I do. - I now pronounce you husband and wife.

The victim's daughter gave the Prosecution a large amount of evidence.

You're screwed, Willem. You're in deep.

God damn it. - What is it?

I won't go to jail. I just got out.

You're persistent.

You stupid idiot. You have your pills.

I'm not a psychopath. - He's on probation.

Blackmail. Your specialty, right?

So, Els. After all these years, my daughter's joined the business.

Dear Iris, I don't know if we have a future.

But if we do, it's up to you. Not to me anymore.

Test, test, USB, USB... I wanted to talk about...

Bj6rn, we're leaving.

Are we going abroad? - I'll tell you in the car.

In the end, I'll take all the blame. - Pepijn's accident. I just don't trust it.

Betrayal

A HEAVY PRICE

I mean it Young and naive

completely indefensible

Last day, last day, last day.

Come on. - Yes, I'm coming.

I'm coming.

I'm not angry anymore, Alex.

Please. I'm worried.

Don't do anything stupid, okay? And call me.

What is this? - He's vanished.

They think he fled the country. With that son of his.

It looks like a confession of guilt. - If it is, I look guilty too.

This is bad news.

Didn't I tell you? - A lot depends on Anna, tomorrow.

I don't understand. Why? - Because it has to.

I just wonder if he can do this.

Couwenberg gave you the loan for your restaurant.

And I'm the only shareholder. - But your father is the director.

I can't reach him. He won't answer his phone.

I went over three times. - I haven't talked to him either.

But that can't be, can it? If he's gone, who's the boss?

Like I said, the director... - She has all the shares.

This is between your mother and grandfather.

My son knows everything. He supports me.

Okay. That's fine.

But even if you're the only shareholder, there are rules.

Shareholders can replace the director, can't they?

In principle, yes. But that's quite a big step.

There has to be an official dismissal procedure.

Through the magistrate, and with solid reasons.

He's disappeared. Isn't that a reason?

It's quite possible your father's on a business trip.

Hi, sweetheart.

Are you packing already? - No. Will you help me?

I'm the last one to leave. Will you remember the alarm?

See you tomorrow.

Penningh. - Have you got a good phone?

What's up? - Your daughter was here again.

She wants to fire you as a director. - What?

She wants to fire you... - I heard you.

My children are driving me crazy.

You threatened her, with the loan, and now she's mad.

She can't get rid of you fast, but she can start a procedure.

A quick one, now that you're gone. - God damn it.

You gave her the shares. - Who knew the cow would pull this?

Can't you contact her? - No.

Listen. I helped you for a very long time.

But you're on the run, and your daughter is on my back.

What do you mean? - Can you solve this yourself?

You have to do one more thing for me. I'll be in touch.

Jesus“.

Do we take a laptop? - Since when do we have one?

There's Daddy's.

Let's not. We're going swimming, to the beach. Not another screen.

Hurry, we have to get to Schiphol.

I'll ask you one more time. Are you sure?

Mrs Eckhardt. Please sit down.

You're here to explain your statement...

about some felonies Mr Steenhouwer is suspected of.

I, and Mr Steenhouwer's counsel, will ask you some questions.

You want those too? - I want to read.

But they're very heavy. - Why don't we take the laptop?

I could watch a movie as well.

It's hard. It belongs to Dad. - That's why.

Okay, then. - I'll select some movies.

You stated that your father told you...

he saw Mr Steenhouwer as, and I quote:

The real source of all the misery...

because his dirty legal tricks made anything Couwenberg wanted possible.

Excuse me, but my client wants to say something to Mrs Eckhardt.

Is that permitted? - Mrs Eckhardt?

I worked for Couwenberg 17 years. I started out with him.

Right after I passed the bar.

I believe I was 22 at the time.

I was young, and naive.

But looking back on it now, to an unbelievable degree.

Gradually, I let myself be steered in a certain direction.

I watched while the company...

explored the edges and the loopholes of the law and business practice.

I have only one explanation. In Couwenberg's words:

Everyone was doing it.

The real estate world was a jungle. You went along, or you were out.

The truth is a rubber band, Couwenberg said.

In the world I was living in, I fell for it completely.

So at some point, I too crossed the boundaries.

I invented constructions, made agreements...

and deals that were already highly dubious in the legal sense.

Morally, they were indefensible.

I've paid a heavy price for it myself.

Now I want to clean things up once and for all.

Concerning Mr Macrander.

Your father.

I didn't threaten him. I didn't want to take the risk of causing his death.

Nevertheless, I now think I did him an injustice.

By constructing a shady transaction that led him to end his own life.

Legally, I can't be held accountable for this.

I want to say here that I feel a certain moral responsibility.

It's up to the judge to arrive at a verdict.

No. Just that new one. - Or it'll become too green, right?

Elsie Couwenberg. - It's me. What are you up to?

Where are you? - Doesn't matter.

You can say that... - What are you doing?

I hear strange stories about you hijacking my company.

It's mine. We went to the notary at your insistence, remember?

On paper, yes, but... - I won't give up my restaurant.

Okay, but don't whine... - I want to be rid of you.

That's fine... - No. You're director of my company.

And you're doing wrong things. As always.

You don't know real estate... - Pepijn van Erkel.

What about him? - Was it an accident?

I won't talk to you at all like this.

Where's Bj6rn? Is he with you?

Dad? I'm going through with this. I won't rest until I've pushed you out.

My father was exceptionally intelligent.

He had little education. He was a carpenter.

He worked his way to the top, and ended up owning a huge company.

But, as Mr Steenhouwer put it, looking back on it now:

There's also something irrational...

something unstable, in our family.

We get that from my father.

My brother is like him.

I've thought about it carefully.

Perhaps I got a little carried away when I made my statement.

Mr Steenhouwer certainly played a part in all this.

But Couwenberg threatened my father, when he knew the truth...

and sent that creep to him.

You mean?

In my emotion, I may have interpreted my father's words too one-sidedly.

Looking for someone? - What's it to you?

Do you want to get hit some more?

Do you know where Marit is?

I'll give you three seconds to beat it.

Alright? One... - I just want to talk to her for a moment.

Damn it, not again. Why are you here? Still not done?

What did your father tell my sister? - That you're crazy. A sicko.

I'm not crazy. - No, you're quite normal.

It wasn't about you. It was about her father.

Leave him out of it. - It was something else.

Tell your father. - Why?

What does he mean? - Tell him it was something else.

Not the past. - What would it matter?

Why don't you piss off to where you came from.

I'm not crazy.

What is this? What should you tell your father?

Can you hurry? - I'm almost done.

There are a lot of pictures of Dad and me. Want to see them?

When we've arrived. Not now.

His voice is on here too. I can still hear him now and then.

His voice?

How?

Hello? Hello? Test, test, test, USB, USB.

I wanted to talk about...

I wanted to ask you something.

Turn it off, Menno.

Just to be on the safe side. Everything is in Bj6rn's name.

Here's hoping for the best.

Play that again.

Thank you. - You know how long I was involved?

A long time. - Couwenberg is in Dubai, or wherever.

You may get a suspended sentence. - That's not sure yet.

Steenhouwer. Leave a message, I'll call you back.

Yes, it's me.

There's something...

We're going...

We're about to go to Schiphol.

And we've got Pepijn's laptop here. There's a weird message on it.

If you hear this, please come over as soon as you can.

He may be in Dubai, but I won't give up.

If necessary, I'll get him myself.

What about your wife? How does she feel about this?

Is she still your wife?

I mean, that night at the hotel, when you'd just left her...

Remember?

We almost went to your room. - You really think so?

Your brother. Can I be sure he'll leave my daughter alone now?

Goodbye, Willem.

This Couwenberg. Leave the rest to the Prosecution.

At least he's wanted now. They may get him.

I'll be the first to testify.

What do you think? - That you can hang up your gown.

You may get a suspended sentence. I hope so.

Iris? - She's leaving for a few weeks.

Without you?

How long ago was your wedding? - It was a beautiful day. Festive.

Everyone was there.

I'll talk to you soon.

I'm a first year student. A notary drew this up, right?

I don't know if I can trust him.

I think he changed something on the sly.

You never wanted anything to do with Grandpa's company.

I changed my mind. - But you? The director of...

Not me. - So who?

Someone who won't do it like Grandpa. - Can you find him?

I know someone. - Who is it?

This is so stupid. - I'm sorry, honey, I...

I put all those movies on it, and now...

Do you still have the key?

Call me back.

Where are you? - Dad won't let me tell you.

Bj6rn, what's going on? Why aren't you home?

Dad doesn't know Skype. I've made an account. He wants to talk to you.

Hello? Hello? Test, test, test, USB, USB.

I wanted to talk about...

I said we'd leave. - What do you want?

We're not done. You're accusing me. - Not just me.

I hear about a 6-year-old case... - That has nothing to do with it.

Where are you? - That doesn't matter.

Why so mysterious? - Why so nosy?

Be patient... - Marco and I have talked...

Marco and you? - Yes. Me, Grandpa.

Wonderful... - Mom's taking over the company.

The daily business too. - Please don't...

We're starting a dismissal procedure. It's not hard.

First decide what you want to be in life. You don't know a thing about this.

I'm fed up. - Good, so are we.

If you don't want to be fired, you should come back.

Bj6rn, where are you? - Shut up.

It wasn't an accident. - That again?

Was it? - You don't know what Pepijn...

One last time. Do you swear you had nothing to do with the accident?

I don't believe you.

Through Skype. - Skyping Grandpa? You're kidding.

Bj6rn had set it up.

How did it go at the magistrate's? - Later, honey. Where's your father?

I wish I knew. Why?

Do you know anything about shares in Bj6rn's name?

It's very complicated. By way of South America.

And Van Erkel handled your father's business.

You knew that, didn't you? - Then he's involved.

Your father, I mean.

Involved? - What do you mean?

The accident. - I think so.

Damn it. - No accident?

I'm afraid so.

Did you have contact with him the night it happened?

No, he says he was having dinner with people, that's all.

And they confirmed it? - So I gather.

The oldest, simplest trick there is. - How do you know?

I've worked for the man for 17 years.

Where are you? - Schiphol. Find out anything?

Yes. I'm going to the police. - What do you think?

It wasn't an accident.

You mean... What are you thinking of?

Pepijn was working on something, you said? To prove something?

Then I think he wasn't alone that night.

The worst thing is, we'll probably never get him.

He's fled, with Bj6rn. Somewhere far away.

Willem, I... - I miss you.

Have I told you that before?

I live at a hotel, everything's messed up, I may go to jail.

It's a good thing you're leaving me.

But Willem, I... - Hang in there. I miss you terribly.

Did I say that already?

I forgot something, honey. Can you stay here and watch the bags?

Good afternoon, Prosecution's office.

I want to talk to someone working on the Couwenberg case. Quickly.

Can you hold please?

Steenhouwer. Leave a message, I'll call you back.

It's me, I'm still at Schiphol. That son of his, Bj6rn, he's here.

Call me back.

What are you doing here? - Nothing.

Nothing?

You could do nothing at a lot of other places.

But you come to Schiphol to do nothing.

I'm going on holiday. - Who were you calling?

Why?

Bj6rn, get the bags, and start without me.

What are you doing here? - The bags, Bj6rn.

Go on. I'll be right there. - I don't know where the terminal is.

There are signs everywhere.

Are you going on a trip? - Who were you calling?

A girlfriend.

Go ahead, answer it. - I'll talk to her later.

You have girlfriends called Willem? - Give it back.

I'll leave the country in five minutes. So don't think...

So that's his son.

What did you do to Pepijn?

He was difficult. You knew that too, didn't you?

Why?

Willem should have stayed with Elsie, and you with your husband.

What did you do to him? - Take care of the kid. The world sucks.

Hey, my phone. - I'll send you a new one from Brazil.

Honey... - Shall we go?

Give me your phone. Right now.

Isn't Willem on your list? - No.

Don't you know his number by heart?

Hello. There's an emergency.

Enjoy your trip, Mr Koopermoolen.

Hello, sir.

Where are you going? - South America.

Have a good trip, Mr Meijer. - Thanks.

Iris Hoegaarden. Leave a message. - Where are you? What happened?

Hello, Ma'am.

It's me. - I tried to call you.

He's got my phone. Couwenberg.

He's around here. He may be on the plane by now.

Where are you exactly? - Terminal 3. The MP's won't let me in.

I'll be there as soon as I can.

Can I come in? It's important.

Can we go now at last, Mom?

I'm going to call. Give me a minute.

The Prosecution's office in Amsterdam, please. Prosecutor Mengeling.

Right now? - I had an emergency meeting with him.

Your father arranged everything. I have to tell him if you agree within an hour.

Or the proposal is withdrawn.

From abroad? Where is he then? - I'm afraid I can't tell you.

But this is a very good arrangement for you.

I don't see the catch. Where is it?

If you agree, just sign this statement. Your son and daughter as well.

Within an hour?

No way. Certainly not after what we just heard.

We can read it.

Won't we be late now?

He was this close to me. He mentioned Pepijn, Menno...

Where was he going? - Brazil. It slipped out.

They're looking, but I can't go in. - I'll drag him from the gate if I have to.

Have you got your passport? - Yes, for the magistrate.

If you pass customs, you'll need this too.

It doesn't make any sense.

I thought yes, then no. Of course not, nonsense.

I bought it anyway, to be on the safe side.

We still had a honeymoon coming.

For God's sake, be careful.

The second party shall refrain from negative comments...

regarding publicity and legal proceedings.

The right of non-disclosure applies, as they and Couwenberg are related.

And in exchange, Mr Couwenberg will hand over the directorship.

You can say no, but then the Prosecution could claim all the assets after all.

And then? - There'd be very little left.

What did he take out of the company? - What do you mean?

Come on. How much money?

It's a little hard to calculate that without the papers.

It all goes through Panama, of course.

What's it like in Panama? What language do they speak?

Spanish. Si, si, no, no, comprendo. And the weather's always good.

Something about the engine. But they're almost ready.

Have a good trip, Mr Steenhouwer.

Are we waiting for Willem? Is he coming after all?

Or is this about Dad?

It's about Dad, isn't it?

Is there a list of business trips? - Just a moment.

Brazil, by any chance?

No, Panama. With a stop-over.

No. I have a Mr Meijer and a Mr Koopermoolen here. No Couwenberg.

Hi. I'm here to help Marit with her stuff.

No need to get angry.

Is this a good time?

Can you take a look at this?

He's brilliant.

We can take off now.

Where are we going? - Somewhere.

I don't think so. - Well, I do.

All things come to an end. - True. I'm fed up here.

This shit country and its laws. - It's not that easy.

Mr Meijer, shall we?

That's my name. Didn't you know? - The police will be here any second.

Not likely. Nobody knows we're here.

Too late. That's always your problem.

You were good, at everything. Especially contracts.

But you never were very punctual. - You're staying here.

Goodbye, now. Come on, Bj6rn.

You'd better not, Willem.

Is Wendy coming too?

You were getting married, weren't you?

But... - Bj6rn, come on now.

What do you mean, Wendy?

The girl your father paid a million to get out of your life. That Wendy.

A million? - Don't respond.

Ask your father if it's true. Go on.

Dad, what is he talking about? - Bj6rn. Come on.

I'd like to hear your decision now. - No. It doesn't work like this.

I want a normal talk about this... - Mom...

God damn it, Bj6rn. - Did you pay Wendy?

Of course not. You saw the letter. What does he know?

I talked to her. At her parents'. - We have to go.

Her parents'? - And I know where it is.

Kick the shit out of him, and come on.

Where does she live? - Now, or I'll go alone.

He can't leave. He's killed several people.

He's a murderer. Pepijn van Erkel. - Don't believe him.

We'd never argue again, remember? We'd stay together.

All that misery. Think of Wendy. He can't get away with this.

This is it. We're going.

He's my father.

Real estate magnate disappeared chief suspect in murder case

Well, Mr Director.

How does it feel?

Good.

Do you want to be alone with Dad for a while?

Can he do it?

Who? Do what? - Marco. Run the business.

We'll have to wait and see. - Don't you need training or experience?

You have to start somewhere. I'll help him, as an advisor.

But not like I did in the past.

That is, if you don't go to prison.

Anna testified in my favour. There are four cases against Couwenberg now.

He gets all the attention. I'm hopeful.

Not everything can keep going wrong.

What do you think?

It feels weird. - It is weird, honey.

Are you staying with us now?

Yes. He's staying with us.

For how long?

A very long time, I think.

What do you think? - I think so too.
