[horns of approaching cars]

Your last nanny was Daan's aunt.

[Louise] Melissa has been looking for her

for two years.

[ethereal music]

[pants]

f*ck!

Do you realize how moronic your ideas are?

- What the hell are you doing?!

- [Eleonore] Patrick, no!

[Patrick] Goddammit! Look at her!

You have done this!

Dad, stop!

[Eleonore screams]

[tense music]

[dance music]

[people cheering]

[woman] Alex!

Alex!

Hey, son.

Are you okay?

Alex?

- Alex, come on. Did you use something?

- No, I didn't.

Then why the rush for me to get here?

- They know.

- Who knows what?

Melissa is Claudia's sister.

What the f*ck?

You knew?

- If that's true, you're insane.

- Of course not, son.

No.

[man in other room] Police raid!

[man] Hey, Lex! Lex!

Hey, what the f*ck happened here?

- Well?

- Drug use has been reported.

- What?

- We're taking everyone outside.

- Let me go.

- Take it easy.

Not in my own club.

- Otherwise you're going to the station.

- Stay calm.

Calm down.

I know he did this, Mom.

What the f*ck did I ever do to him?

I'll destroy him.

I'll take care of it.

I'll handle this.

You're too weak for that.

Just behave.

Stay calm.

[tires screech]

[ominous music]

[loud bang]

TO LOUISE: HEY LOUISE

MISS YOU

[phone vibrating]

[gentle snoring]

HEY LOUISE

MISS YOU

[phone chimes]

FROM LOUISE: WHAT IS IT YOU MISS?

THE CONVERSATIONS

THE SEX

SOMEONE I CAN TRUS

[sad piano music]

US IN YOUR DAD'S CAR,

WALKS ALONG THE SHORE

OUR KISS BY THE POOL

THAT I MISS THE MOS

THAT'S BEAUTIFUL

TO LOUISE: I NEVER KNEW

MISSING SOMEONE WAS SO HARD

I NEVER KNEW

THAT MISSING SOMEONE WAS SO HARD

[sniffs]

[puts phone down]

You don't want to marry?

No.

I'm not crazy about Charles.

I don't miss him, and

when we're on the phone

my heart isn't racing like mad.

Every day together is boring

and marrying him would be

the biggest mistake of my life.

- That's literally

- What you told me

just before the craziest night of my life.

And the best sex.

Mom will go nuts.

She'll get over it.

I love you.

But that doesn't mean

you can snoop around in my wardrobe.

I can't promise anything.

[whistles]

TO LOUISE: I NEVER KNEW

MISSING SOMEONE WAS SO HARD

[door closing]

That's extremely drastic, a raid.

I'll talk to the mayor.

What are the grounds for it?

Didn't you tell Alex last week that his

rattrap would be closed within a week?

Honey, please.

Alex was very euphoric

and he had a big mouth.

I simply put him in his place.

And I told him not to expect

a full house every week.

But until now he had a full house

every single night.

Patrick, I really think it might have

become a massive hit.

Alex has a nose for style,

for trends and for money.

- That's something different.

- It's what I'm saying.

Other guys his age have

menial summer jobs.

And what does Alex do? In a fortnight

he sets up a successful summer club.

I'm sorry, but I think he deserves

a second chance.

Maybe I underestimated him.

Yes.

- And us too.

- Hm?

I'm so sick and tired of our arguments.

Tomorrow is our anniversary.

What happened to us?

The way we were 25 years ago.

Patrick, I miss us.

Be home in time tomorrow

and pretend that the party is a surprise.

Alright.

I'll act surprised.

Right then.

[tense music]

Louise, you're awake already.

And cleanly showered.

I'm going for it.

Can I have my phone back?

No, not yet.

The hospital wouldn't allow that either.

Mom, I won't be ordering drugs

straight away.

It's a matter of protocol.

Don't whine about the rules, Louise.

Okay.

Come on, you're doing so well.

Huh?

Just wait a while longer. At Emilie's

wedding you'll be back to normal again.

What?

I know you don't want to hear this, but

Charles and I aren't working out.

- I hope this is a joke.

- [Emilie] It's not.

- There's no future for Charles and me.

- Oh, really?

- No.

- No?

But there is one for you and a guy

who jumps from the roof?

Mom, you're not listening.

- Yes, I am!

- We have no future!

But you do have one with a guy like that?!

- I'm not in love with Charles!

- Being in love passes!

Listen to yourself! You don't mean that.

Do you know how much time I invested

in your wedding in the past year?!

- You are going to get married!

- Who are you doing this for?! For you!

You're going to get married,

end of discussion!

- Mama.

- Stay out of this!

You destroyed enough already!

Why don't you say something

for once, please?! [sighs]

[piano playing]

[Patrick] Yes, preferably. Try that.

Package it together.

I'll send someone for it.

Around 4 p.m. would be good. Okay.

Are you still in contact

with the people at the land registry?

Yes. No, that's fine.

Yes, sure. No, we'll make do with that.

[laughs]

We'll take care of that.

That's fine. I'll write it down.

Perfect. That's alright, Herman.

This time I'm not drunk.

Will you abandon me too? Hm?

- What do you mean?

- I was abandoned suddenly.

Left behind with a broken heart.

- What?

- By your sister.

How long have you known

Claudia is my sister?

What are you up to, girl?

- What are you doing here?

- What the f*ck do you think?

- I want to know what happened to her.

- What happened?

Your sister robbed us and then left.

[sighs]

I miss her as well.

Were you close?

Mom? Pay.

Yes, darling, I'll be right over.

Tell her.

I was fond of your sister.

Really fond.

FROM LOUISE: THAT'S BEAUTIFUL

TO LOUISE: I NEVER KNEW

MISSING SOMEONE WAS SO HARD

[upbeat music playing]

Hey, everything alright?

Yes.

"Protect me from what I want."

No stress, buddy. It goes away on its own.

- When?

- When it's over.

- That seat is taken.

- I'm only here for a minute.

I think so too.

I had a few experts look at your shack.

[laughs] Jacques.

There's enough code violations here

to bulldoze it to the ground.

I've been here for 27 years

on nine three-year permits.

- Not one single defect.

- Hmm.

Maybe that's because

there was never a decent file.

But this

This is a decent file.

The tenth permit will be mine.

You really are the biggest as*h*le

I ever met.

Letting your own son in for that raid.

Yes.

And nothing about it in the newspapers.

Go figure.

Alexandre will be happy.

He'll have a beach club soon.

Without a drunkard.

Read it over.

Have a nice day.

[distant voices]

[jubilant singing]

Come back, s'il te plait

Alsjeblieft, oh please

My dear Louise, Louise

My dear Louise, Louise

- Oh, Louise

- Louise

[pop music playing]

I have to admit

at first I didn't want to see you.

- I understand.

- [Emilie] I know the feeling.

Until I realized I had to go out

with all those boring c**ts.

You can't drug them every time

with your MDMA pralines.

[Margaux laughs]

How's Alex?

He's sweet now.

Do you still like him?

And Daan?

Him too.

Who do you like most?

I don't want to influence you,

but Alex has always been there for you.

And Daan

He's a handsome boy with curls.

- What?

- A handsome boy with curls

A holiday fling.

"I don't want to influence you," she says.

Ladies, how about it? Are we going out

for a drink, the five of us?

I can ask the warden.

Warden?

Inmate 321?

I request penitentiary leave.

Penitentiary leave granted,

under strict conditions.

No alcohol, no drugs

and back before dark.

Thanks, warden.

And

accompanied by a qualified person.

Are you coming?

- Come, we're leaving.

- Fun.

Beach bar, here we

[cheering]

I'll say. Nothing better to do?

- There he is.

- Alexandre the Great.

Well, he's not that great.

[Matti] Say, Daan. For me

Another round for everyone.

Yes, but this time

not the virgin version for me.

No, we're having virgin mojitos.

Solidarność, Matti.

- [Matti] I don't know that one.

- [Victor] It's Polish for solidarity.

- So, another six virgin mojitos?

- [Victor] Yes.

- [Matti] Life without booze is boring.

- [Victor] Give me a break.

As far as I'm concerned I'd like

to see him in a wolf suit as well.

[chuckles, howls]

- [Margaux] What was that?

- [Emilie] A handsome guy.

- [Margaux] Yeah.

- [Emilie] Right?

MISSING YOU IS SO HARD

MISS YOU TOO

[Margaux]

Can I be comfortably numb as well?

Can my overworked brain cells

have a moment's rest?

Do you know why women have

one brain cell more than cows?

Now we're having it.

[Matti] So they don't sh*t in the kitchen.

- [Emilie] Oh my god.

- [Margaux] f*cking sexist.

What do I see in you?

It starts with an "A" and ends in "Donis".

- Did you talk to Daan?

- [Matti] Adonis.

No, why?

Can't you go talk to him?

[Matti] Where are the mojitos?

[Jacques] Boys, we're closing!

Where is he?!

- Storm's coming. Everyone, go home!

- Dammit.

- What?

- [Jacques] Yeah, the bar is closed!

Everybody out! Look, it's already raining.

[Daan] Jacques, what the f*ck?

- [Jacques] Look.

- [Daan] Jacques, come on.

- [Jacques] Ah!

- [Daan] Jacques

[Matti] That's good publicity!

Don't forget your diaper, little Jacques!

f*ck you. f*ck you, Matti.

- Great. Thumbs up.

- [Margaux laughs]

- Yes. Do you have him?

- Yes.

- [Alex] Damn, that reeks.

- Alex, take off his trousers.

- Pull off his pants.

- f*ck that.

- But he just

- Peed.

Hold him for a sec. Jacques, gross.

- [Jacques] Yes.

- [Daan] There.

Come on, man. Go.

- [Alex] Jesus.

- [Daan] Straight.

- [Jacques groans]

- Blanket.

- Daan.

- Yeah?

I'm glad I've gotten to know you.

- You're a great guy. A great guy.

- Thanks.

[Jacques] Alexandre.

- Your dad

- It's alright, Jacques.

- It's alright, buddy.

- It's alright.

- Go to sleep, you drunk.

- Yes.

Jesus.

Your dad is an as*h*le. An as*h*le.

What was that all about?

I

I wanted to apologize.

I found it unsettling

how she looked at you.

Yes.

I noticed.

If other people fancy your girlfriend

you get scared.

I went too far, I know.

Sorry. Okay?

I forgive you.

As long as you can forgive me

for falling in love.

Do you still have feelings for her?

I know what to do.

Look, Daan

Just because The Crazy Lulu is closed,

we can still do stuff together.

Oh, can we really?

Yes.

- With your father's help, I'm sure.

- What are you talking about?

- Your dad bought the beach club.

- What?

Jacques is out.

- Jacques.

- Mm?

I have something for you,

unless you prefer a raw egg, obviously.

- I'll give you a raw egg on your face.

- [laughs]

[groans]

- Can you manage?

- Thanks, mate.

Jesus.

You're welcome.

[groans]

- What a summer.

- You can say that again.

Your first holiday romance.

Yes.

- I warned you.

- [chuckles]

I know.

- She's just so

- Difficult.

[laughs] Yes.

Difficult, that too. Absolutely.

What I meant was

Everything.

- [Daan] She's everything.

- I know the feeling.

It's dangerous.

If you have everything

you start looking for moments

you could lose everything.

- Bye.

- See you.

[Emilie] Was it a one-night stand?

[Margaux] You think?

Not everyone is relationship material.

[he breathes heavily]

[Patrick] Dammit!

- [she screams]

- With you?!

[boy] Alex?

[Emilie] Alex, are you okay?

- [Emilie] Alex?

- [yelling]

[Emilie] Alex!

Hey, Alex!

[tires screech]

- Sorry.

- [driver] What the f*ck?

[pants]

Sorry. I don't feel well.

Hey. Hey, Alex.

Hey.

[medication packet rustling]

Those panic

I'm having those panic attacks

almost daily now.

Is it because of your dad?

Since you told me about

Melissa looking for her sister,

I can't shake it.

Claudia?

Claudia is dead.

What?

[sobs]

Who?

Your dad?

Your dad.

Why didn't you go to the police?

[sobs deeply]

[melancholy piano music]

What are you doing here?

What's wrong?

Mom?

Hey, what's wrong?

- Erm

- What?

- Claudia didn't simply disappear.

- [Daan] What?

Patrick k*lled her.

Did Alex tell you?

Mm-hmm. Erm

That's why he's having panic attacks.

More often and more intensely lately.

Why didn't they go to the police?

Because they're scared of Patrick.

I just don't know

Patrick gets away with everything.

Can you leave Alex out of this?

Does he know you're here?

Come here.

[melancholy piano music]

Alex?

WHERE ARE YOU

[message tone]

WHERE ARE YOU?

WENT OUT FOR A BIT OF FRESH AIR

[music intensifies]

[glass thuds]

[gasps for breath]

[music ends]

[waves crashing]
