Original subtitles

Are you a lover of music, Marco?

Who are your favourite composers? Beethoven, Debussy?

I'm more into metal. - Metal?

Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden. Things like that.

I like to listen to requiems.

You can wake me up for a requiem anytime.

I have all requiems right here, on this tiny thing. Incredible, isn't it?

Tell me, which requiem would you like to hear? Tell me and I have it.

I didn't steal anything from you.

Marco, I've invested in you.

I've invested time in you, I've invested money in you.

I've even invested friendship in you.

And now it turns out to be a bad investment.

No, I swear, Alain. I swear.

It wasn't me, I swear. - I know.

I know. Faurée. Faurée's Requiem. That's so beautiful.

It's light, not heavy at all. He wrote it for his own delight.

Did you know that? Purely for his own delight.

I'd never deceive you. You know me, I'd never deceive you.

I've got it, wait.

Come here.

Here, put these on.

That's Faurée. That's nothing like metal.

But it's soft. Here.

You hear that?

Very soft.

Berten.

THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW

Our stay here was temporary. We've always known that.

You believed me when I said a different life awaited us there.

A better life.

I understand that going to the other side scares you.

But you won't do it by yourself.

No, we'll do it together. - Yes.

Look, I'm also going to miss this place. I really am.

The privacy, most of all.

And the room service. - The luxurious bathroom.

Hey, the minibar. - The A/C.

Not to mention the lovely courtyard.

I could ask the reception if we can keep our room for a few more days.

But I know what they'll say: 'We're full.' - Yes.

High season in hotel Amigo.

Nothing to be done.

We'll have to check out.

Yes.

Governor, we're ready.

Very well. I'll see you later with the others.

Let's hope the weather stays good.

Sandra, the weather's always good outside.

Always.

Sandra.

Come, Berten, it's okay.

Look, there are Dylan and Mathieu.

Come.

Finally. You weren't in a hurry, were you?

Always a pleasure to see you.

Mathieu. - Rik.

And? - Well, the notary's expecting us.

And Halil? - He came out two days ago...

but I haven't heard from him yet. - Let's go ahead without that Turk.

Sorry, I just think he's unreliable. - We made an agreement inside.

We pledged our word. We'll do it with all five of us.

Sister? - Halil?

Do you have my money? - It's inside.

Erol will give it to you. I stuck a woollen hat in there as well.

I'm proud that you're going to pay Uncle Hassan back, and with your own money.

Yes, I figured I had to do so.

This is a new start for you, okay?

But I have to go to work now. We'll call, right?

Hey, brother-in-law. Everything alright?

Stay here.

Hello, Uncle Halil. - Altan. How are you?

Fine.

Thanks, Erol. - Yildiz is much too good for you.

Look, I won't delude you again. I swear. - I don't want to see you again.

My sister is much too good for you.

No, no, no.

Is there a problem? - Yes, there is. It's not enough, is it?

Where's the rest? - It's all there.

There's at least 2000 missing. I didn't forget how to count in jail.

Yildiz used it to pay your lawyer. - Is he bothering you?

Look, I need the money, to pay back Uncle Hassan.

You can fool Yildiz, not me. - Erol's much too good for you.

And I'd leave now, if I were you.

Otherwise you'll spend the rest of the money to pay your hospital bill.

Don't get up. Stefaan.

Mathieu, Dylan, nice to see you again. - Likewise.

We're not complete, I see. - Halil swore that he'd be here.

Halil and keeping agreements is...

If Mr Torlak doesn't show up, I'll have to amend the charter.

You can just cross out his name. You have a pen right there.

We'll give him five more minutes.

Of course, five minutes. I don't want to be a stickler.

My Beretta would like to know what your daily limit is, sir.

Look in front of you. - 3000, I think.

Then please lend me 2150 euros, will you? - What? How much?

Don't you understand Flemish? - I do, I do.

I thought so. 2150. 50-euro bills are fine.

And hurry up.

Here. - Thank you.

Do you know the Brabançconne? - Sorry?

The Brabançconne. - Yes.

Sing it and don't turn around until you've come to the end.

Louder.

Our soul and our hearts are devoted to you

Accept our strength and the blood in our veins

How's the refurbishment going? - Just fine. According to schedule.

The kitchen has been installed and Dylan and I sanded the parquet floor yesterday.

I can't wait to see it. - Three, two...

and top, now there's only four of us.

Halil, finally. - Hello, Governor.

Sorry for the delay, guys. Notary, that's 2150.

And that's 2500 for you.

Good, the partners have all made their contribution.

Do you have a bank certificate and a financial plan?

Of course, here you are. - Thank you.

Alright, then we can now proceed to the reading of the charter...

and the establishment of the private limited liability company...

with the company name 'The straight and narrow'.

On February 2, 2015, appeared before me, notary public in Ghent...

the founders, to execute all documents pertaining to the private company...

I think it's a great initiative, Rik. - I owe you my thanks, Governor.

For your support of our project. - From now on, call me Pascale.

Thank you.

My bicycle. My bicycle's gone. - Your bicycle?

What? You're our little alibi-Halil. We get integration subsidy for you.

And for you we get faggot subsidy.

What did you say? - What's going on here?

You want me to carry your suitcase? - Please.

Did you see that, Chef?

You really believe they have a chance? - I hope so. I really hope so.

It was a bargain, I suppose. - I couldn't wait for you to ask.

Really, Rik, almost for nothing. - If you want, I'll get a better one.

With suspension and a left door that opens. Like that one, you see? Just 30 seconds.

Mathieu, pull over.

Dylan, what did we just sign? - Our company charter, right?

A contract, between the five of us.

That as of now, that is to say this minute and this second...

we will behave according to the law and not do anything illegal anymore.

Which in your case means not steal any cars anymore.

If you can't do so, you can get out right here.

Okay, fine, no problem, Rik. - Okay.

I don't believe him. I say out with him.

Rik, I'm quite happy with this minivan.

Okay, Mathieu.

Can you smoke that?

How did you find this place? - Through a pal of mine.

He rents it to us for 1 euro a month. - Must be a very good friend. Family?

Yes, go on.

The tables and chairs will arrive next week.

That floor is really gorgeous, guys. - That's Dylan's work.

Go ahead.

Our biggest investment, to be paid at a monthly rate.

A sweet investment, Mathieu. - Tell that to our bank account.

It's perfect. - That's the cold store.

Berten, I don't know if you have wedding plans...

but you can easily hack six women in pieces here.

Berten, hey.

Berten, open the door. Berten, open up.

Come on, Berten, let him out.

Berten. - No.

Right you are, Berten. Make him cool off his bullshit.

Berten, come on, it was a joke.

Come on, Berten.

Open up.

Thanks.

Was this a restaurant before as well? - Not really. Come with me.

I've been wondering for six weeks who your contact is.

A businessman. - Yes?

And what kind of business?

Are the others also like this?

The Comtesse, the Princesse, the Courtisan. I sleep in the Duchesse.

Look on the bright side. We have food and lodging.

No one has to go home after a long day. - Sounds just like prison, Chef.

Living together strengthens the team spirit.

And the bathroom? - Next to the stairs.

Will I be making any money, Rik? Will I get a salary? I have my expenses.

If there's anything left at the end of the month, after cost deduction...

taxes, installment payments. - But the sommelier will get a salary?

Sommelier? Which sommelier?

Which sommelier?

Halil, keep your dirty hands away from everything.

This is my room. - Why?

Why? I was here first. Here, Princesse, that's me.

I've been sleeping here for six weeks already. Come, get off my bed.

Go on.

Mathieu, what's that about a sommelier? - Well, I...

We received a very interesting application.

A spontaneous application. - We can't afford it.

Besides, we don't need it. Dylan was going to do the front.

Rik, I don't know anything about wine. - "She?"

She's a first-rate sommelier, Rik. Diplomas from here to Bordeaux.

Then why does she apply here?

She has no experience yet. She always just misses the job, she says.

Yes, I know that.

And she's a really nice girl. There was good chemistry between us.

It's her dream to help set up a restaurant. All she asks for is minimum wage.

Rik, it's an excellent investment.

She's coming tomorrow to sign the contract.

I won't sign anything. You should have discussed it with me first, Mathieu.

Do you see now?

Rik, will you take the Marquise or the Comtesse?

I should have left them all in prison, goddammit.

Six o'clock. - Yes.

I know, dinner in the mess hall.

Alright, come, let me see.

This is how it will be.

Voilàa. Good morning. - Morning.

AMIGO'S A FINE TABLE - OPENING SOON

It hardly cost anything.

Okay, guys.

I've put together our "menu". We'll open seven days from now.

And plenty still to do. Enjoy. - Thanks, boss.

Paint, clear the yard...

Hello...

Hello, I'm Halil. I'm the new owner.

Oh yeah? - Yes, one of the new owners.

And you are? - Tessa. I applied for a job here.

I see you've already met our house painter. Give him an occasional nod and he's happy.

I'm glad to see you again, by the way.

Yes...

I told our boss about your application and he was...

very enthusiastic. - That's nice.

And will the boss come out or are we going in?

Yes, of course, come along.

That's Berten, he helps in the kitchen. - As dishwasher.

And our chef is Rik. - Rik.

I'll get your contract.

Rik. - Yes?

What is it now?

Rik, Tessa. Tessa, Rik.

Hello, Rik.

The kitchen, everyone.

Just make yourself at home.

That...

She can't work here.

And why not? - Because.

We already said yes. I've drawn up a contract.

Rik, she's really good. - I think she'll be an asset.

I say no, period.

Rik, good heavens. We really need another person.

A female touch for the guests can give us cachet.

Yes, if Dylan's there by himself people will run away.

Yes, exactly. - Send her away, now.

Wait a second.

Is she an acquaintance of yours, boss? Did you feel her up during visiting hours?

She's my daughter.

Her name is Fabri, not Bossuyt. - That's her mother's name.

We couldn't know, could we? - But you do now.

She won't work here. End of discussion.

Weren't we going to vote on everything? - Vote? Who's in favour?

Who's against?

What are you doing here?

Helping to set up a restaurant is a wonderful challenge.

Okay, stop right there.

We can't afford to hire you. - I don't need much.

Goddammit, Tessa.

This is no place for you.

They're all... We're all... - Yes, thieves, conmen...

Yes, and murderers.

Whom you're giving a second chance. - That's irrelevant.

Tessa, I ask you to listen to me.

Since I was six I've had to live with a father who was in prison.

You now want to play daddy all of a sudden?

There are enough other restaurants.

I have to start somewhere.

I paid for my study myself. Mom's new husband never paid anything.

I have a sommelier diploma, but I have no experience whatsoever.

The least you could do for me is give me that job, right?

Thanks.

What budget have you set aside for wine? - 500 euros, for starters.

Okay, that's tight, but...

I'll put together a small cellar we won't have to be ashamed of.

Hopefully we'll be able to expand it once business picks up.

Great.

Colleagues, I look forward to it. - So do we.

Tessa, shall I drop you off somewhere? - Thanks, I'm here by bus.

I really wouldn't mind.

Okay, no problem.

Try it again.

Yes, it's working. Rik.

Magic fingers. - The newspaper's home page.

Guests can now make a reservation by email.

What's that? Let me see that. - Alright.

Mr de Geyter, what happened?

I'd just entered my code when I felt a gun in my back.

It was a man with a paper bag over his head.

He ordered me to withdraw 2150 euros.

Goddammit.

Rik, what the fuck?

Was that you? - What?

Was that... Was that you? - Me? No, who is that?

Did you rob that guy or not? - No.

Berten. - It was my brother-in-law.

Your brother-in-law, the bus driver? - Yes.

Your brother-in-law mugged that guy? - No, but it was his fault.

You're ruining everything before we've even started.

I had no other choice. He'd taken the money for the notary.

What could I do? I want to be in your gang.

I don't have a gang.

We're not criminals. We're a team. - But he's clearly not a team player, Rik.

Can someone turn off that machine?

Halil has to go.

Rik, guys...

I have no place to go. No place at all.

I've helped you in the prison's kitchen for six months.

With the mess and the luncheons of that governor of yours.

Someone who doesn't stick to the company charter...

doesn't belong with us. - Sorry, Halil, Rik is right.

You're putting everything on the line. If the cops show up, we're screwed too.

You should have thought twice before robbing that poor man.

I don't want to see you anymore.

So who will be your sous-chef? - I'll see about that.

How much did you steal?

2150 euros.

But not a cent more.

That guy's daily limit was 850 euros more.

But I only took what I needed.

Look, 'Robin Halil'. I say out with him.

Let him return the money.

Shake his victim's hand, show regret. Ask for forgiveness, like the Bible says.

Yes, I'll do the Bible.

He'll start over with a clean slate, and you'll still have your sous-chef.

An honest sous-chef. - And with what money?

From the till? Not with money from the straight and narrow, right?

Where does that guy live?

Tessa, you're 30 minutes late. The chef won't be pleased.

I know how to calm him down.

Alright, I'm going back to work.- You said you had five minutes.

Daddy has to prepare his sauces.- But you always say that.

Alright, enough. I'll see you tonight. Bye-bye. Kiss.

We're late. - No.

Yes, 35 minutes.

No, because I don't work here anymore.

That's my notice. I'm starting at another restaurant tomorrow.

Where?

With whom?

Not The Jane? - No, not The Jane, Laurens.

Bru? With Wout Bru? You don't mean that, do you?

I don't believe it. I won't accept it. What? Wout Bru, that asshole?

I'll cut off his balls. With a blunt knife, I swear.

Hello? Wout. - It's not Wout Bru.

It's Laurens speaking. Everything alright?

Sorry, I accidentally dialled your number.

How's your snack joint doing?

How my snack joint is doing? Full house every night.

If you want good food, just come here. But can I call you back some other time?

Yes, alright. Bye.

Alright, see you around, chef.

So what about us? - Let's say we're past our expiration date.

You can't just leave like that. Tessa.

I taught you everything, goddammit. - I've taught you a thing or two as well.

If you dare walk out now...

you never have to come back again.

You understand that?

Tessa. - Sweetheart, come back.

Get a grip of yourself for just one second.

What's the matter with you?

You know what I want, Laurens. I've been asking for seven months.

Leave your wife and give me a business share.

As I told you before, I need time.

Rome wasn't built in a day either. - But definitely within seven months.

Call me when you've decided.

You really mean it?

Is this it? - Yes, 77, the paper said.

Come, park back there.

Here? - Yes.

Can't I stick it in the mailbox? - You'll deliver it in person.

Yes?

I'm an acquaintance of your dad. - Dad, it's for you.

Who is it? - I'm...

This is Jean-Claude, I'm Dries. Nice to meet you.

Jean-Claude and Dries. - Who?

That's for your dad. Tell him I'm sorry about yesterday.

It wasn't intentional.

Alright, actually it was. But it was for a good cause.

Yes? - Yeah-yeah.

Alright, I'll pass it on. Thank you.

Wait, lady, it's for your dad, okay? - Dad, it's the men who robbed you.

Sir, I come to apologise...

You riffraff.

Punks.

Hurry, start the engine. Start the engine.

The other door, you dumb Turk.

Wait, wait.

Lock the door.

What was that? - That idiot.

What happened? It didn't work? Goddammit.

And? Clean slate?

We could have used those 2000 euros, Rik.

It will be taken off his salary. - What salary?

Hendrik Bossuyt, against the wall. Spread your arms and legs.

Hello, Alain.

Hey, Rik.

It's been a long time. - 15 years, Alain.

Come here.

You haven't changed a damn bit. - I have too, Alain, I have too.

This is my crew. It was Alain who arranged this place.

The symbolic euro.

Sir, was that your joint upstairs? - Oh no.

Just imagine.

No, someone still owed me.

This basically just came my way. Initially I wanted to tear it down...

but then I got your letter and thought: 'Damn, yes, that's it, I ought to do that.

That's a good investment. In those people, instead of in bricks.'

Goddammit. You've done a lot of work here.

Is that floor new? - There's still a lot to be done, of course.

There's still a lot to be done, I said.

Come, Alain, I'll give you a tour. - Yes, that's fine.

Are you sure you'll succeed? - It has to succeed, Alain.

It's all I thought about those last two years in jail.

Cooking has saved my life. It's turned me into a different person.

And your team?

I gave my own workshop in prison: 'From slammer to stovetop.'

I've picked the best participants.

Rik, I'm deeply indebted to you.

We don't need to talk about that, Alain.

Tito.

Have you been working here long? - Two days.

Did you know this used to be a brothel? - Is that right?

Are you sure you didn't get left behind like a whore with the rest of the furniture?

No, that's a misconception.

Oops.

I guess you have to come down now. You're making a mess, slut.

What was that?

What do you think you're doing, you dipstick?

Only I can abuse that Turk, understand? - Okay, okay.

Otherwise I'll plant this screwdriver in your brain.

Insofar as he has one, of course. I think you missed a spot, Halil.

Done.

Get out of here.

I told you to cover that hole before anyone got hurt.

The gentleman tripped over the hole and stumbled against our pot of paint.

When you're right, you're right. Imagine it happened to our guests.

Of course, it's not safety proof.

I'm proud of you, really.

I'll definitely come to lend support on your opening night.

Alain, you'll have your own table here.

What happened? - Well, that hole...

He stumbled. - Paint.

Berten.

It's almost nine-thirty.

Everyone back to their cell. - Yes.

Rik. - Yes?

I'm glad we checked out, you know.

Yes.

Everything is on schedule. - Is it? Come with me.

NEXT TIME

What are people going to sit on?

Goddammit.

Mr Bossuyt, we'd like to ask you to come with us.

This is a disaster. It's the opening later.

Chef said everything will be fine.
