Grandpa?

Grandpa! Grandpa!

- Grandpa, wake up, please! Grandpa! - Hein. - Grandpa! - Hein.

Grandpa!

- Johannes? - Grandpa!

Just go outside for a bit, you all. Just go outside for a bit.

Come on, let's lift him up. Just lay him down on the ground.

Just lay him down on the ground. Just grab his feet.

One, two, three.

He looks like he hasn't felt any pain.

Did they say what happened?

Probably a bleed, in his brain.

He had a tumor.

A tumor?!

Did you know that?

I heard it from the paramedics.

And they heard it from the hospital.

He apparently already knew about it for weeks.

What kind of family are we?

It's sometimes very difficult to talk about really important things.

Saying what you really feel.

How is Hein?

He wants to be alone for a while.

It's not fair.

Why didn't you say anything?

Then we could have done something, a treatment.

Flooding my body with poison?

Just to stretch things out a little bit?

Maybe you would still be alive now!

I wanted to enjoy everything for a little longer.

Of my work, of you.

Not spending my last days in a hospital bed.

Death is part of life, Hein.

- Oh really? - Yes.

If you accept it...

what are you still doing here then?

This place...

Lommerrust...

I need to be sure that it's in good hands.

I need you, Hein.

Hey, boy. Are you coming over here for a moment?

Yes.

Dad, what’s going to happen to the cemetery...

now that grandpa is no longer here?

Uh... wow, Hein.

I haven't thought about that yet.

I still have to arrange the funeral first.

Can't you take over?

That's...

- That’s not for me. - Why not?

You did really well. Right?

Even the motorcycle gang was happy.

Giving a speech once is something different than running an entire cemetery.

Terrence can help. And I can.

Hey, come here.

We will definitely find a solution.

I spoke to mom.

She wants to come pick you up tomorrow.

Why pick up?!

Well, she thinks that a little distraction will be good for you.

I have so much to arrange in the coming days.

It must be much more fun at the campsite.

It's strange that grandpa suddenly isn't here anymore, right?

I really don't know for a moment.

Okay, I understand that your mind is on other things...

but Menno, come on, this opportunity.

This is what we've worked for all these years.

What are you doubting about?

Is it Hein?

Is that it? Because they have fantastic international schools there.

No, it's not just Hein.

Okay.

You know what, never mind.

- I'll just tell those guys that they’ll hear something after the weekend. - Yes.

Yes? Good luck there.

And I'll see you at the funeral.

Hi.

No way. More flowers.

Menno. My deepest condolences.

Your father was a colleague, but more than that, truly a friend.

We are going to miss him a lot.

- Here, take a look. - Thank you.

But there’s something else I want to discuss with you.

- We have a lot to do. - Exactly, listen.

At Van Uden Funeral Services, we have more clients than we can handle.

So we are always looking for space.

Oh, you want to take over Lommerrust?

At a very attractive price. I assure you that.

And of course, we will keep everything here in perfect order.

What is this?

This is my proposal. For the takeover.

You’re not wasting any time.

Business concerns get in the way of a healthy grieving process.

You’d better have it in order.

Just take your time to think it over.

Good luck.

Sometimes salvation comes from an unexpected corner.

That proves to be the case once again.

Salvation?

For him, the dead are business.

As long as you take care of the spirits, he can manage the business as far as I'm concerned.

- Yes, but how? - Weekends, holidays.

You can't miss Dewi and Jordi, can you?

I think I can be at peace with it this way.

And Steven knows his way around the cemeteries.

So this was it?

And are you now...

My mother is here.

- If I can do anything for you, just let me know. - I’ll manage.

Really.

And uh...

I'm not alone.

Oh. Well...

Thankfully.

- Yes, this is Terrence. She works here. - Hi.

Terry, this is Yara.

Hey, Hein.

Hey, sweetheart.

You had just started getting to know him a bit, right?

Well.

Bye, boy. I'll see you at the funeral.

Hein!

- Yes! - Yesss!

- Hi. - Hey.

What a legacy.

A field full of dead and a bone pit.

I would have preferred a little box of jewelry.

Do you have any idea what you’re going to do with it?

Steven van Uden was here this morning.

He wants to take over the business.

Oh, really?

Okay. Well...

And?

Yes, he does have money.

And experience.

- Grandpa? - Shh.

- What are you doing here? - It's Van Uden!

Something’s not right.

- I thought you were at peace with it. - I am.

But the rest...

Well, scaredy cat. It’s been a while.

- Goodbye, Hein. - What are you doing here?

We actually want to know that from you.

I finally had peace, but suddenly it was over.

The whole bone pit is in turmoil!

They are all back.

That can only mean one thing.

Lommerrust is in danger!

Terry!

Hein?

- That was a short vacation. - Where's dad?

Sorry, Dave took the girls to the climbing park.

But he really wanted to be here.

- Where is he? - He went to Van Uden.

- Shit! - Whoa, stop. You know what we agreed upon.

- You can stay here, but you let dad handle his stuff. - Yes.

Jordi?

Jordi! Jordi!

- Hey. - Where is that cemetery of Steven van Uden?

Awesome. I'm sure your father would be happy.

Wait! Dad!

- Dad! - Hein, what are you doing here?

- You can't sell the cemetery to him. Really not! - Huh?

Yes, he has something planned.

I can feel it.

I thought I was doing you a favor by helping you out.

You are, uh...

- I'm sorry. - If you'd rather sell it to someone else, that's fine.

No, no.

We have a deal.

No, dad! Dad, don't!

Dad!

Well, as we say in our industry: let it be.

Have you gone completely mad?! We should be grateful...

that he wants to help us, and then you come up with this nonsense!

- It's not nonsense. Grandpa says so too. - What?

Grandpa has no peace at all. Neither do the other spirits.

- That can only mean... - Hein!

Listen, I get that everything is a bit confusing...

and that grandpa told things that...

well, are open to interpretation.

But grandpa was sick, right?

He had something in his head. That's why he saw things that weren't there.

- They are there! - Hein, for the umpteenth time:

- Ghosts don’t exist. - Yes, I’ve seen them myself.

I don't care!

You don't care either, no.

Not Lommerrust, not me.

And neither does grandpa.

Can you see them?!

Hein?

- Go away! - Hein.

Hein, the uh...

If you’re hungry, there’s food for you here.

At the door.

You shouldn’t be so hard on your father.

He's different from you and me, but he loves you.

And why don’t I notice that at all?

Because he never learned how to show it.

And that’s my fault.

I was never good at it either.

So if you want to be angry at someone, take it out on me.

He’ll come around.

He’s just upset.

Just like all of us.

Do you believe in ghosts?

Well...

When John just died...

I had whole conversations with him.

- Really? - Yes.

Not like you and I now, but...

About Jordi or about what I should do.

Did he reply back?

Yes, not really of course, but...

that’s how it felt.

Mom?

There’s a visitor.

Ah. Yes, my condolences, Mr. Greveling.

And you too, of course.

I just wanted to show my face.

Coffee? Or do you still need to eat?

I could eat something, yes. Haha.

Truly an iconic figure.

A great man.

A gem for death.

And great that it was arranged so quickly with Van Uden.

Yes, everything is for sale.

By the way, that can go on my gravestone.

Just putting aside all jokes, I thought it was an excellent idea right away.

Apartment complexes.

And by the way, that's for me.

For a reasonable price.

Apartment complexes?

Uh... yes.

But how did you know that then?

Didn't I tell you?

From grandpa?

- So you are in contact with grandpa's spirit? - Yes.

Is he here now?

Yes.

What is he saying then?

Not so much at the moment.

Well, that does sound like grandpa, yes.

And can he hear me?

Yes.

Okay.

Uh...

Dad.

If you're here...

I want you to know that I'm sorry...

That I didn’t come by earlier and more often.

And I’m sorry...

That I haven’t said more often...

That I love you.

Sorry.

Tell him not to make the same mistakes I did.

Uh, grandpa wants to say something too.

- What? - He says that you shouldn’t make the same mistakes he did.

You shouldn’t forget the people you love.

Not even if your work is very important to you.

You shouldn’t forget the people you love.

Not even if your work is very important to you.

Is he saying that?

- And that you have to increase my allowance. - Hahaha.

- Yes, yes. - And dad, I know a way we can change Van Uden's mind...

about this.

- Really? - Yes.

- But I’ll need your help. - Yeah, of course.

And your help too.

What’s going on here?

Hello?

Is there anyone there?

This is not a joke! I'm calling the police, you know.

No! No!

Aahhh! No!

Who are you? What do you want?

I want to thank you, Steven.

You mean more to me than just a colleague.

You are a friend.

With you, we are in good hands.

What are you talking about?

One person's death is another person's bread.

- Isn't that so? - No!

No, go away! Go away! Leave me alone.

I'm never leaving again!

We're together forever now!

Muwahahaha!

No!

No, I'm begging you! I'm begging you, please!

I'll make everything right with you, please.

Take it, I don't need it anymore.

Just keep it. I'll give everything back, everything!

- Quick! - Yes, let's go!

Dear dad.

I can never do this as well as you, of course.

But I'm still going to try.

You haven't always been an easy father.

Maybe not always...

a good one.

I once said that you handled the dead better...

than with the living.

But when I see who is all in the room here...

when I see how much Hein cared for you...

then maybe that's not true at all.

Hein, would you like to say something?

Then I can take a sip of water, sorry.

Dear Johannes, dear grandpa.

Dear dad of my dad.

I was always quite...

scared.

I was afraid to go on vacation with my father.

Afraid of arguments.

Of the dark.

Of ghosts.

But I was mostly afraid of death.

Grandpa showed me that there's no need for that at all.

Because life...

cannot exist without death.

Because we know we will die...

we make it right when we have arguments.

Because we know we will die, we can't wait too long...

to say that we are in love with someone.

We create beautiful songs...

try to make the best doughnuts in the world.

And we celebrate.

Because we know we will die...

we have to make something out of life.

Without death, nothing would matter.

I learned that from you, Grandpa.

Well, I don't think I have much to add to that.

Maybe a little.

Thank you, Dad.

Because of you, I got to know my son.

♪ I see trees of green

♪ Red roses too

♪ I see them bloom

Incredible, isn't it?

I think he would have found that really beautiful.

I hope so too.

♪ What a wonderful world

♪ I see skies of blue♪

Yeah, you know what it is, Jur?

- I'm needed here more than in Japan. - M-hm.

- And you can handle it just fine on your own. - Yeah, sure. It'll be fine.

- And if not, I know another way that I can still be there. - Oh yeah.

Sayonara.

And will you come by again soon?

- Definitely during the autumn break. - I will miss you, buddy.

Like a toothache for sure.

- Well... Bye, cream puff. - Bye, doughnut.

Look, finally some color on his cheeks!

Come on, let's go.

What's wrong?

Nothing.
