["Already" by Hydrogen Sea playing]

[birds singing]

Already pressure builds up

In my system

Watch as the blood

It cracks right out of me

And in the first morning light

That we squander

The pangs of remorse will ignite

DAAN: MISSING YOU IS SO HARD

I want to drip down in the ocean

Into the darkness, alright

I want to lay down with the wisdom

MISS YOU TOO

It hides at the back of my mind

REMOVE CONVERSATION?

How can we grow up to feel isolated

Thinking there's no one

That will understand?

When life on this planet

Is truly abundant

Jacques?

Jacques? sh*t!

They want to sink down in the ocean

Hey, hey, Jacques?

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

Who's Daan?

Why?

- Have you read my messages?

- No.

We're leaving here at 11 o'clock.

[Daan] Jacques, hey.

[man] On meditative runs many

distracting things will affect your mind.

Thoughts, feelings, physical sensations,

impulses and memories.

What if we open up

To what surrounds us

[Alex yells]

I love you.

[music continues muffled

beneath an ominous tone]

[screams]

[all yelling and screaming]

[shallow breathing]

[music starts playing normally again]

I want to lay down with the wisdom

It hides at the back of my mind

[waves crashing]

[knocking on door]

Eleonore.

- Can I come in?

- Yes.

I lied.

I know.

- Patrick

- k*lled Claudia.

I'm taking it to the police.

He won't be intimidated by that.

Really.

Right.

I know someone who can make him confess.

Who?

A friend.

I can't bring you sister back.

But I can try to make up for it

as much as possible.

Trust me.

Give me a little bit of time.

JACQUES IS

[phone chimes]

JACQUES IS DEAD

YOUR FATHER WILL BE PLEASED

What the f*ck?

TO LOUISE:

WILL I SEE YOU AT THE PARTY?

- Hey, Margaux.

- Hi.

[Eleonore] See you.

What was she doing here?

Look at this.

- Daan's garbage?

- Don't you like this?

You'll find a thousand like those

on Instagram.

- What was Eleonore doing here?

- She came to b*tch and moan.

A few problems at home.

Stress, right?

When you best friend screws your husband.

If you don't know what you're talking

about, then shut your mouth, girl.

[tense music]

[Eleonore] They'll be here around eleven,

so we'll be having lunch at one o'clock.

When Angelique sets her mind on something

- Mom, do you want to

- No honey, I'm too busy.

Play some games,

Melissa will be right over.

Christine and her daughter make twelve.

Perfect.

Okay.

When is Patrick coming?

What happened here?

Can't you see?

sh*t, dude.

sh*t?

Why sh*t?

It's really convenient for you, right?

- What do you mean?

- Your father was here yesterday.

He threatened Jacques

and now the club's yours.

- Cool it, buddy.

- Or what? You're threatening me as well?

- My dad's no m*rder*r, okay?

- Isn't he, though?

Louise says differently.

Don't believe everything

Louise is telling you.

You think she still wants you?

Jesus.

You're assholes,

you and your whole bloody family.

If you don't like it,

go back to your f*cking campsite.

You feel so powerful,

but you're a tiny little sh*t.

Really? And you're the one telling me?

Scum crosses the border

thinking they can get away with anything.

- First Louise nearly drowns 'cause of you.

- That's not true.

But it is, buddy.

Before you came, everything was good.

We nearly forgot about Claudia.

What happened to Claudia?!

f*ck you, dude!

It's time to go home, summer's over.

[Daan coughs]

Alex?

[Melissa] Olivia, hi.

- Hi.

- What are you doing?

Nothing.

Your mom asks

if you'll join us for a drink.

- Champagne?

- With a dash of vodka: vochka.

- Really?

- Of course not. We'll play a game.

[gentle classical music playing]

[Melissa] Yes.

Yes, well done.

Nice.

Serve the hors d'oeuvres,

or they'll stuff themselves with chips.

There they are. Hello, darlings. Welcome.

- 25 years

- How have I managed to keep it up?

- Is your man here?

- He should be here any minute.

- Hello.

- Hi, Eleonore.

- Hi there. Hey, girl.

- Hi.

How are the preparations for the wedding?

The wedding's been postponed.

Louise is keeping us busy all day.

Next year in the chalet in Verbier.

That's going to be beautiful in the snow.

So romantic.

- Good idea.

- Excuse me.

Thank you. No, water for you.

Is Alex here?

I saw him this morning, but he left.

No idea where he went.

Ah, there's our Jan.

- [Angelique] Is it still a surprise?

- [Eleonore] Yes.

- [Jan] Hi, Eleonore.

- [Eleonore] Hi, welcome.

- [Jan] Hey, Jacques died.

- [Eleonore] No way.

- [Angelique] Who?

- [Eleonore] The owner of the surf club.

What happened?

His heart.

Good gracious.

[sighs]

Wait, Alex is here.

Hi, son, it's good you're here.

What happened to you?

Hey. Go clean yourself up

and put on something else.

Wait, that's too much.

What happened?

Hey. Are you alright?

Hi, Alex. Are you okay?

Yeah, great.

[Anouk] Hola. Hello?

- Hey.

- f*cking Alex, f*cking as*h*le.

What is it with you and Knokke?

Jacques is dead.

What?

I found him this morning.

He was harassed by Alex's dad.

- And where are my f*cking keys?!

- Daan.

Apparently, the most well-respected people

are the biggest assholes.

And that's news to you?

What a f*cked-up world.

A world in which we don't belong, honey.

Leave those rich people be.

Daan, you'll never be one of them.

Louise might have been fun,

but she'll never truly understand you.

[dial tone]

Daan, hey.

Daan, just let her be

with her f*ck Alex.

And let Alex be the pathetic, rich guy

who is so bored

he f*ck up people like us.

This is Louise's voicemail.

- What are you doing?

- f*ck.

What do you want to do to them?

They can't simply get away with

everything. Not Patrick, not Alex.

- And what about Louise?

- What?

She broke your heart, Daan.

And believe me

she doesn't give a sh*t.

She doesn't care about you anymore.

And besides

Alex will do anything to stop it.

No. I need your moped.

I have to see her.

[door opening and closing]

[doorbell]

There they are. Hello.

Hi, sweetie.

- Is Louise here already?

- Yes, go on.

- Christine.

- Eleonore.

Good of you to come.

- Patrick won't know what hit him.

- Yes.

Come in.

[easy listening music playing]

[muted chatter]

[Margaux] Yeah. [laughs]

Hey.

- Hi.

- [Matti] You good?

- No champagne for you?

- Mom's put me on water.

Yeah, right.

Dear people, Patrick's chauffeur

just informed me they're nearly here.

And he doesn't know a thing.

- So exciting.

- Right? Cheers.

[in French] Hello.

[Eleonore] Good day.

- Hi, Charles, you alright?

- [Charles] Yes, and you?

Did you invite him?

[sighs]

I hate you so much. How many times

do I have to tell you? I'm not marrying.

- Calm down.

- Stop your pathetic efforts.

They can take one cover away.

- Emilie?

- No, no Emilie!

Emilie, excuse me. Emilie?

[Angelique] Well, everything will be

alright. It's just wedding stress.

- She's having cold feet.

- [woman] I had that too.

I was completely

It'll blow over.

I was extremely nervous before my wedding.

Alex?

Alex?

Are you following me around

like some lapdog?

No.

Can you leave me alone for two seconds?

- I came to say your dad's nearly here.

- [scoffs]

A party for 25 miserable years with

that b*stard. Can you understand that?

- You're being childish.

- Am I?

Have you forgotten

what I told you yesterday?

- No.

- Did you talk to Daan yet?

- No.

- No?

You know if anyone gets wind of it,

I'm truly f*cked.

Why?

- Why?

- Why?

Did you think it was real?

What?

- Sometimes you're such a dumb broad.

- Why are you acting like this?

I booked tickets to Uruguay.

You're coming.

- No.

- Louise.

Alex, you're going crazy.

- You're coming.

- You never mentioned it.

- Louise, you're coming.

- No, stop. No!

Do you prefer to be with Daan? Is that it?

- Well?

- I chose you.

- No, no.

- f*ck you.

- f*ck you, Louise.

- Alex

You're a dirty wh*re.

[Louise sobs]

- Alex.

- I'm nothing to you anymore.

Stop.

[Alex sobbing and muttering]

- Don't touch me.

- f*ck you, Louise.

Don't touch me!

You're just as sick as your dad.

I hate you.

You're a f*cking liar.

I don't recognize you anymore.

Never touch me again.

- I don't want to see you again.

- Lou!

[he breathes heavily]

[everyone outside] Surprise!

[applause and cheering]

[singing] Long may they live

Long may they live, happily

So happily, so happily

- Hip hip!

- Hooray!

- What the f*ck are you doing?!

- Patrick!

Dammit!

[emotional violin music]

[applause]

[Patrick] This is your fault!

[sobs]

[indistinct chatter]

[sobs]

[breathes heavily]

- Louise, where are you going?

- I'm going out for a while.

Away from Alex.

What is it? Why are you so upset?

Did you take your medication this morning?

25TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY

KNOKKE'S p*ssy KING

[Angelique] Louise!

- Louise!

- It's got nothing to do with my pills.

Your perfect son-in-law is an as*h*le

and my pills won't change that.

Darling, you have to take your medication.

- You'll be admitted to a psychiatry ward.

- You're not listening.

Do you realize that?

Do you realize how harsh

you are with me sometimes?

And with Emilie?

Daan, I have to leave here.

I have to leave.

I'm harsh with you

because you need to know the truth.

Those pills provide you with stability

and you need that.

You won't find it with him.

Or do you think it's real?

You don't know what's real.

Louise.

Louise!

Louise!

[moped engine]

- Beautiful hair.

- Yours too.

A few more.

I'm going to make my husband happy

for once.

- Ah, sweetheart.

- Look here.

- [Jan] The Jan rosé.

- [Eleonore] Yes, your rosé wine.

- There is another bottle.

- [Jan] I can taste it beforehand.

[Eleonore] Exactly. Especially for you.

We have two bottles, so go for it, guys.

What the

- What's this?

- Hm?

What's this? Where is this coming from?

Everyone at the table received it.

That's true.

This wasn't the deal.

- [Eleonore] What's this?

- You were supposed to delete this.

I'm no longer a part

of your party, Eleonore.

You're a cowardly, filthy cow.

- What's happening?

- You are.

What do you mean me?

Here's to love.

- What have you done, son?

- [Alex] What?

There's no hiding now.

Everyone knows what an as*h*le he is.

Excuse me?

A merciless b*stard who built his career

on the backs of others.

- Okay, everyone out.

- Patrick.

- Jan, everyone out.

- They're not allowed to see your anger?

[Eleonore] Angelique, put it away.

Are you beating up me or Mom again?

Angelique, please stay.

- Come on, do it.

- [Eleonore] Please, stay seated.

No, I'd rather everyone left now.

[Matti] Come on, Margaux. We're leaving.

- Matti is leaving as well.

- [Eleonore] Olivia, play some piano.

- Isn't it interesting anymore?

- [Patrick] I'd like everyone to leave.

[Eleonore] Olivia, play some piano.

You practiced so hard on your Chopin.

Alexandre, what do you think you're doing?

Olivia, listen to your mom

and play the piano.

No, you're a scumbag.

f*ck you, really.

- At least one who dares speak her mind.

- b*stard.

[Patrick] Olivia, wait!

- Leave me alone!

- Olivia!

- Olivia, come on, sweetie.

- [door slamming]

Sweetie.

[urgent knocking]

[piano music]

Daan? Daan, stop.

[Patrick] Olivia? Olivia, please. Open up.

Give Daddy your phone.

Olivia, give Daddy the phone.

You don't want to see that video.

Olivia.

Don't look at those images. Don't.

Stay out of it!

This is between me and my daughter.

Olivia!

[emotional music]

It's okay.

[Patrick] Olivia!

- Stop and think, as*h*le.

- Olivia?

- [Melissa] Stop this!

- Open up, come on!

It's okay.

[she sobs]

- [Patrick] Open the door! Olivia!

- [Melissa] Stop this! Are you crazy?

Listen to me closely: you don't talk

to me like that! Understood?!

[Melissa]

What will you do? Will you push me? Do it.

Go ahead. I know you k*lled Claudia.

What?

[Claudia screaming]

[Alex] Stop, stop!

[Patrick] Hey, hey, hey!

[Claudia screams]

[Alex] No!

- I k*lled her.

- [Eleonore] Alex!

- Shut up, son.

- I won't shut up! Stop!

Stop all the f*cking lies!

[sobbing] I k*lled her.

- Did you use me? Is Patrick innocent?

- That's not true.

- Who are you?!

- Her sister.

- Get out! Go downstairs!

- My sister!

- [Melissa] Alex!

- [Patrick] You knew about this.

And you tried to let me

take the fall, right?!

Don't you realize

you're the cause of all this?!

I hate you!

- I hate you!

- [Alex] I'm sorry

[Eleonore and Patrick continue yelling]

[Eleonore] I hate you!

- You're the f*cking cause of it all!

- I hate you!

[Patrick] Everything, and I mean

everything is your fault!

Olivia!

[g*n clicks]

[emotional music]

I'm sorry.

["Already" by Hydrogen Sea playing]

Already pressure builds up

In my system

Watch as the blood

It cracks right out of me

What if we open up

To what surrounds us

To plants and the bugs

And the roots of the trees?

Didn't you hear

They'll strike deals with us daily?

And giftwrap some bliss in a breeze

I want to drip down in the ocean

Into the darkness, alright

I want to lay down with the wisdom

It hides at the back of my mind

We want to sink down in the ocean

Into the darkness, alright

We want to lay down with indifference

It governs the whole of our minds
