PREVIOUSLY
Can I ask you a few questions now, sir?
Sergeant Knockaert will
answer your questions today.
You know the rules.
We have no secrets.
We put it all on the table.
[man] Your daughter's crossing the line,
doing that blue whale challenge.
Hey, what the fuck?
- You lost your mind?
- [Dominique] Who is Vera?
Do you mind telling me
what's going on here?
We're not allowed to do it.
You are allowed
to plug a fire hose incorrectly.
[Gio] We have a leak.
- Come on, Gio, don't say Steve.
- Of course Steve.
We're both doing the test,
may the best man to be the new assistant.
Sight of the seaside is breathtaking.
Golden opportunity.
Killers Dead Dream?
Emergency dispatch enjoys death metal?
Training comes along with a date?
I shouldn't've treated you like that.
- We have to celebrate.
- I stopped drinking.
We have something else too, huh?
It's not a drink.
I just want to apologize!
A NETFLIX SERIES
[Vincent mimicking truck]
Emergency dispatch, East Bank station,
there's a blaze in the hospital!
Pump truck three is authorized!
Creating safe passage!
[boy mimicking fire truck siren]
Whoa! Confrontation with Triceratops!
[screams]
Hey, it's too loud.
Sit down, everybody,
we're having breakfast.
[Vincent] Oh! Godzilla strikes again!
Run! He's coming to smash the city! Run!
- Come here.
- [doorbell rings]
A little boy for breakfast?
Godzilla likes that.
[growls and chuckles]
I'll go see who it is.
- [boy growls]
- Yeah, well [squeals] Oh, no.
[Vincent clears throat]
Why are you here?
Hey. Hey. I'm here for the article.
I do nothing but my job, okay?
No, it's not your job
to run us into the mud.
You decide what to write, don't you?
- You've no idea what you've done.
- Hey! Whoa, whoa.
You came to me. Don't forget that.
Because of the firecams,
but nothing else besides that.
Oh, well, I did address it, didn't I,
like you wanted?
But I showed that WhatsApp message
to prove a point.
But none of those messages
were meant to be released.
You're a two-faced bitch.
- Really? Really?
- Well
- Hey! Hi.
- [Vincent] A visitor.
- Who is it?
- [Carlijn] How are you?
- Carlijn.
- [Carlijn] Hi. Hey.
- Come on. You all right?
- [Carlijn] How are you?
- I'm good.
- That's great.
UNDER FIRE
[fire crackling]
[mellow music playing]
[indistinct chatter on TV]
[cell phone chimes]
What, am I under surveillance?
Why would you say that?
Facebook. You got it?
Hey.
- May I?
- Of course, honey.
Yeah, Miss Meersman,
what can I do for you?
Seriously, Geert, I think
something's up with Marieke.
What that Dubois said
That guy Dubois? I told you the man
is trying to blow this whole thing
out of proportion with his judgment.
Just two years ago
their mother died. Okay?
Marieke is mourning, and that is normal.
It all happened very quickly for them.
Maybe it happened too quickly for us too.
Living together, I mean.
I'm sure it wasn't simple for the girls.
I know, yeah, they're teenagers.
- I know how difficult it can be.
- [sighs]
I've been taking all that into account.
I've saved some money for my own place.
- You know that
- We've discussed this.
You know I don't agree, Dominique.
I think it's important for us
to be a family.
But I don't want to leave you.
Dominique, seriously, that avoidance
and allusion in your behavior,
I thought we moved past that.
Oh, God, I'm not your client, Geert.
No, but I do talk to people all day,
and they sit exactly in that chair.
People with difficult childhoods,
like you.
If they get the chance
to join a nice family and settle down,
they panic because they feel trapped
in the difficult family environment.
You have to talk to your daughter.
- That's all I'm asking from you.
- Okay.
Thanks a lot for your concern.
[tense music playing]
[indistinct conversation]
But if we don't stop, are you going
to tell your mommy
or maybe cry like a baby?
Aw.
Bye, Vera. Bye-bye.
[engine starts]
[mellow music playing]
[door opening]
[door closes]
[Boris sighs]
Check this out.
"In the aftermath of a fire
in a brothel in Ostend,
East Bank station's firemen
supposedly violated the privacy
of clients and prostitutes
by taking sensitive pictures of them."
What did I tell you? You brat.
- Here.
- It's Steve.
He's been sending photos to the press.
Delete Steve from the chat
before they go public with all that stuff.
Boris, kick him out of the group.
Childish.
[shoe soles squeak]
[sighs]
There you go.
- Happy now?
- Thanks.
[automated voice]
Hello. You have one new message.
Hi. Uh, good day, ma'am.
This is Michel Dubois again.
I've been trying to reach out
to your husband for a few times already,
but apparently he's not,
he's not answering his phone.
Um, uh, my daughter Vera was very upset
when she left
for her summer job this morning,
and I've been trying to reach her.
I haven't been able to.
Is she with Marieke at the square?
Could you please, if you call me back
with any information you have?
- Thank you, ma'am.
- [line disconnects]
[Orlando] Did you read today's newspaper?
MIDDLE MANAGEMENT M02
OFF2 THROUGH RECRUITMEN
- Ooh, dude.
- What?
You scared me to death, man.
Give me that thing.
- What?
- That one's mine.
- [scoffs]
- Use this.
- [highlighter clatters]
- You're a freak.
These are my highlighters.
Thank you.
- [siren wailing]
- [Orlando sighs]
[automated voice] Attention!
- [Orlando] Come on, Vince.
- Yup.
[automated voice] Attention!
[Dominique] Details?
- Jumper, a young woman. Go.
- [automated voice] Attention!
Deploy multi-purpose vehicle.
Oh, my God.
[Orlando] Gio, move it! Come on!
[Dominique] Geert, it's me.
Is Marieke home?
We have a huge problem.
She's gone too far this time.
Listen to me. No, no, listen to me, Geert.
The girl they were bullying
[sirens wailing]
[dispatcher] Teen girl spotted
on the roof of the Zeedijk Hotel.
The place is located
near the Groot Strand area.
East Bank station has been dispatched.
Hotel employees are saying that
the girl's working there as an intern.
Um, she's standing on the 10th floor,
and she threatens to jump
if anyone gets close.
- Police?
- [dispatcher] Notified and on their way.
Thanks. Copy that.
- She already saw us.
- Shall we go up?
Air cushion.
Noelle, Henry.
Evacuate everyone from the dike.
Not a single pedestrian
can come through here.
If she falls on someone, they're dead. Go!
Vincent, coordinate the cushion placement.
Check. Come on, get the mat.
[air hissing]
- Just let me through.
- I said no!
We're not sending civilians
like you up there.
- Yeah, sure.
- Get behind the perimeter line.
- You've been warned.
- I get it.
- But I'm not just a civilian.
- Excuse me, do you mind, sir?
Cushion's ready, paramedics standing by.
- We can move.
- Great.
See? That's exactly what I said.
- A professional has to
- Geert, stop!
Is there a problem?
Support and stand by your daughter.
Ma'am, please keep this man
off the premises.
Dominique, come on.
You can't be serious.
Sir.
And you, we're talking about this.
Yeah.
Come, we're going up.
Tenth floor, sir?
To the corner on the left.
- Dominique, wait up, please.
- What?
- Will you manage?
- What do you mean?
Split your personal life from work.
And that was very personal.
Good God, with your past
I trust you,
but can you leave this one to me?
- I'm doing it myself.
- Are you sure?
Wait here in the hallway
in case I need you.
All right?
[door beeps]
Vera?
I'm Dominique, from the fire department.
Veera, I'm coming over.
- Please don't do anything reckless.
- Go away, I'm gonna jump!
I just want to talk.
I'm coming over. Okay?
Vera, look at me.
How old are you? Sixteen?
- Step back!
- Vera.
I'm from the fire department,
but I'm also Marieke's stepmother.
And I know they're bullying you.
That blue wheel challenge is horrible.
It's too much pressure for you.
Please, don't! Stay right there!
[creaking]
Listen, I don't underestimate
the pain you're feeling right now.
And And I've had moments
when I wanted to jump too.
But I didn't do it.
Because I know how it feels
to be left behind.
Think about your family.
If you jump now, you'll be gone,
but the rest of us will be left behind,
full of sorrow.
Your family will be devastated,
don't you see?
You don't understand!
You don't understand!
I understand better than you imagine.
Better than anybody here.
I say this with certainty because
my mom left me in the same way.
She decided to jump.
She probably thought it would be better
to disappear for good.
But then, she was really gone.
And the hole, the void and fear
she left was insufferable.
I didn't want to study,
kept picking up fights.
I drank a lot to fill that void.
Until I understood that I was so angry.
Marieke is angry as well.
She misses her mother.
She unloads by punishing others
to avoid the pain she's feeling.
Do you understand?
You don't have to suffer for that.
You're 16 years old.
You have your whole life before you.
What will you do?
Will you plunge into that void?
Or will you take the first step
of the rest of your life?
Come.
[Vera sobbing]
It's okay.
It's okay.
[Geert] I don't mean to justify it,
but she's going through tough times.
- It's been very difficult for her.
- [female officer] I understand.
[Geert] You see, ma'am,
her mother died not long ago.
She'll have to come to the station.
You have to come as her guardian.
Okay, I understand.
Oh. Um
They want to question her at the station.
I'm going with her
since she's still a minor,
so come on, get in.
- [engine starts]
- [car door shuts]
Come on, let's go to the station.
Thank you.
[sighs]
[Orlando] You all right?
- Listen, Dominique, children
- Bonus children.
You just want them
to drown in the sea sometimes.
They're assholes.
Tell me about it.
I can't believe she could be that cruel.
That poor girl could be dead by now.
I look into those eyes,
but what I see is a child so broken.
- You saved her, didn't you?
- [sniffles]
By the way, bonus children,
what the hell is that?
- [chuckling] I mean
- Did you come up with that?
What does that mean?
Stands for bonus bullshit, right?
- Bonus misery?
- Hmm.
Huh?
I do get her, though.
Her mother has died.
Good reason to feel anger, right?
I know, back then, I treated everyone,
including you, pretty awful.
I was horrible.
That's true.
And I know that witnessing
Marieke hurting others
is like looking at myself in a mirror.
What do you see, though?
A beautiful woman?
[chuckles]
- An attractive lady?
- [laughing]
- Don't.
- What?
That's enough, you idiot.
Don't. [sniffles]
We have a report to write.
- Really?
- Come on.
All right.
[Geert] But why?
Why would you do something like that?
You know what that does to people,
don't you?
Do you know?
How can you do something like that
to the poor girl?
I'm sorry, I just don't understand.
I just don't get it.
Especially coming from you.
You know how it is.
You went through it yourself.
[Simeon] Hello, Tommy.
- Oh, wow. Hey, guys.
- Hey, man.
You all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- Yeah?
- And you?
- We're good. We're good.
So, you're still in Ostend.
Yeah. We were in the neighborhood.
Wanted to visit our buddy, Tommy.
You all right, Grégoir?
What's with your arm?
[Simeon] Tom, can we have a word?
Hey, listen, we're in deep shit.
- In the shit?
- [Simeon] Hmm.
[Simeon clears throat]
What happened now?
Let me guess. You did something stupid,
and I have to fix it. Pass.
- Don't play coy. You're not a saint.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[Grégoir] No, I remember.
I know stuff about you.
And now we're in need,
but you pretend to forget
Calm down, man. Calm down!
Hey, Grégoir, I didn't forget
what you guys did for me,
- but I don't want to be in this again.
- No, dude
I'm two years clean.
Simeon, I'm busting my ass.
I'm trying to make something of my life.
You see his arm?
That's just the beginning, Tommy.
They'll find me, Tom.
I swear, dude,
these guys will have me killed, man.
Dead.
But, bro. Wow, kill you?
We lost four pounds of merchandise.
- What? You serious?
- [elevator opens]
We were supposed to deliver it.
We got out of the car for a moment
Yeah, we left the car for just a second.
It was gone when we came back.
It was gone?
What, just flew off or what, huh?
Jesus Christ, guys.
Now what?
They asked us to,
uh, pick up a package for them
- here in Ostend.
- In Ostend.
- A package?
- Yeah.
If we do that, they'll leave us alone.
Sounds like a real good deal.
- Then it's done. Of course it is.
- Yeah.
[Tom] Mm-hmm.
You actually believe that?
They'll leave you alone?
You're not that stupid, are you?
Tom, what should we do?
We're already stuck in that shit.
Please, Tom.
- Sorry, but I can't.
- You got to help us.
Why did you come to me?
Because since Brexit, the inspections have
been much stricter on the water.
Nothing escapes customs, man.
Excluding Department of Defense,
police
And the fire department.
You've got it all figured out.
You must have a lifeboat.
Maybe we can use that.
What the fuck, Grégoir? Really, man?
You just decided to take a quick sniff?
Are you out of your fucking head? Huh?
You expect me to believe this?
Is your arm actually broken?
- Ah! Fuck!
- Hey! Hey, hey!
[Grégoir groaning]
Listen, leave me out of this mess.
Okay, Simeon?
And leave me the fuck alone.
Okay?
Hey, if it wasn't for us,
you'd be behind bars.
- [Simeon] Yes.
- Have you forgotten, Tom?
What's stored on my voicemail, huh?
When you called us sobbing?
[mimics crying]
Who got your back then, huh?
I guess we'll have to go to the cops. Huh?
Is that what you want?
Is that your masterplan?
Man, that's good.
I'll bring your voicemail,
so we can rot in prison together.
Does the fire department know
you're a psycho?
I don't think so.
But we can change that, man.
Fuck off.
- Hey, hey.
- Tom. Tom?
Tom, we need that boat.
Remember that.
Hey,
Marieke.
[sniffles]
You can tell me
how you're feeling. Okay?
I know. Poor you.
[grunting]
- [panting]
- [door opening]
[door closes]
What's up B-Man?
You look beat, my friend.
But you jumped right into it. Hmm?
- Katrien sent me a program to train.
- Katrien?
And the training comes along
with a romantic date, right?
Hmm.
No.
But you did ask her, right?
So you didn't
B-Man, how can you be such a
Coward, yes, I know that.
I was going to say mega pussy,
but coward works pretty well.
[clears throat]
Yeah, come on.
- You think they'll notice?
- What?
What?
What happened between us.
Yeah, well, that won't happen again.
We're not playing house.
By the way,
why am I doing the cage test again?
I've done it 100 times, huh?
You know what they called me, huh?
Tommy Gun.
Because I'm fast as hell.
Tom, I want 100% trust
during our interventions.
You have to be able to control your fears.
And I know the bus fire was all on me,
but I saw you struggling there.
And then the gas explosion
It's getting too dangerous.
Yeah, I get it.
I suffer from occasional panic attacks
ever since the car accident.
- Yeah.
- I don't think that I
That's why
we're doing this exercise again.
Show me what you got,
super-fast, Tommy Gun. Bring it.
Yes, General.
[Katrien] This is the emergency dispatch
for the fire brigade and ambulance.
[woman] There is a snake in my store.
It's a very big one.
It looks dangerous.
Please, send help. I am very scared.
[Katrien] Calm down, please.
Can you tell me your name
and where you're calling from?
My name is Cloah Chi.
I am in my shop in the city center.
Please send help.
[tense music playing]
- You want these?
- [scoffs] Thanks.
[both chuckle]
The chapter on snake interventions,
did you find it in the textbook?
- Did you even read it?
- Textbook?
I bet I'll find the snake within an hour.
What's the wager?
- Ambulance shift?
- Ambulance shift at night.
Ambulance shift Saturday night.
[both chuckle]
- You're going down.
- You wish.
We'll see.
I was working down there,
and then I saw that huge snake.
- It was this big.
- Sounds like a
- Constrictor.
- A boa constrictor.
Like a very big snake.
I think, like, more like a cobra.
I saw one in a documentary.
It's very dangerous animal.
They spit and then you're blind.
Very poisonous.
Bring in the Brussels team.
- What?
- The reptile center.
- You afraid?
- I'm not, but an animal like that
Go wait upstairs.
We'll find the snake, promise.
Okay. Thank you.
- Trying to buy yourself time?
- 'Course not.
Check there, I'll check here
Don't forget our bet.
Yeah, whatever.
[Nina] Okay, Tom, you've got this.
Five minutes to complete the course.
Otherwise, in real life, you'll be dead.
Okay.
[air hissing]
[gripping music playing]
[timer ticking]
Okay.
[Nina] Don't give up, dude.
[timer ticking]
You're almost using your reserve.
You need to keep calm.
If you panic, you'll use up your air
and then you're finished.
Nicely done, Tommy Gun.
Don't slow down. 2.15.
Stick to this pace.
[timer ticking]
Okay, the final stretch.
You're almost there.
[beeps]
Hmm.
[hissing]
- Orlando!
- What?
There! There, I can see it!
[Orlando] Grab it, then.
Close that door.
- Close that door! Close that door!
- Why?
- Why didn't you get it?
- It's a tropical, venomous species.
I'm calling in Brussels.
NC-100 requesting backup.
Reptile intervention.
- Venomous snake. Over.
- [radio beeps]
Don't miss it.
Are you scared of it?
- Huh?
- No?
No, it's just that
- [chuckles]
- I'm cautious.
Cautious, yeah.
- Well.
- Yeah?
- Come.
- No, no, no, please don't, please don't.
- [exhales] Done.
- [Nina] Welcome.
Whew.
Mmm. And? How long?
Uh, yeah, I forgot to start the timer.
- Sorry, you should do it again.
- Ha, ha, ha.
- Funny.
- No, really.
Three minutes 30.
Well done, dude.
- Tommy Gun?
- Yeah, it's actually really good.
Well, it's your turn, Ninja.
It's time to sweat.
- Yeah, well, I don't think so.
- Why?
Well, do you really think
I need to go in the cage?
A little bit. [chuckles]
[Nina chuckles]
I still don't understand what happened
to you during that gas explosion.
Was it the heat?
But I managed in the cage.
Yeah, or was it
[intense music playing]
Was it the sound of the glass breaking?
[cell phone ringing]
[Nina] Won't you get that?
No, I don't care.
Hey, I want to do one more cage.
I'm ready.
No, we're not doing that.
- What?
- Come on, now.
- No?
- No.
Tommy Gun is ready.
SIMEON
MISSED CALL
MESSAGES - SIMEON
WE HAVE TO TALK, TOM
East Bank station to emergency dispatch.
Emergency dispatch is listening.
- Is the coast clear now?
- [chuckles]
It is safe to proceed.
- How are you?
- We have to be quick.
It's pretty busy,
so I have to keep this line available.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh
Oh, well, um
Uh, Domestica is playing in Ostend.
And, uh I mean, I know
it's, it's, uh, it's last minute,
yeah, but I, I kind of, uh
Well, I basically,
I managed to get two tickets
for, uh, for the show that's tonight.
[Katrien] You can't be serious.
I've been trying all week
to buy tickets to their show.
Well, yeah. What you say?
I'm, uh We could meet, I don't know,
tonight in, in front of Elysée?
Yeah?
- Okay.
- Great. Yeah. Yeah.
Yo, Boris.
Yeah. Yo.
[phone ringing]
[sighs]
[Cloah] Uh, he's here for the snake.
[Orlando] Sergeant Foncke.
Thank you for coming.
- My partner thinks it's venomous.
- [Vincent] Incredibly.
Please, sir, it's hiding over there.
- [chuckles]
- [expert] Uh-huh.
Well, let's see it.
Be careful.
Relax.
Close it.
Not so loud.
Snakes can't hear,
but they sense vibration of everything.
And now that animal knows
we're here, god damn it.
[scoffs]
[tense music playing]
Don't move, man.
[high-pitched scream] Mm. Over here.
- Okay, Vince, stay still.
- Do something.
[Orlando] I see it. Don't move.
[Vince grunts]
Move your foot to the side.
Yeah, There you are.
- [hissing]
- Relax. It's a small one.
[Vince shuddering]
- Sir?
- [expert] Here, here, here.
Pituophis deppei jani.
AKA,
Mexican bull snake.
Get in here, honey.
- [Orlando] There you go.
- [expert] Good. Gorgeous.
- Absolutely gorgeous.
- That's it.
Very well. Perfect.
- Ready?
- Yeah.
- Put that away!
- [expert chuckles]
- Don't want it near me.
- Ay, ay, ay.
- Sir, thank you.
- Yeah, yeah, it's okay.
- Nice.
- Shall we?
Let's get the hell out.
You have to tell the police
that we caught this animal.
You won't find these
on the market very often.
And is it venomous?
- Venomous?
- [Orlando] Yeah.
No, son.
This animal is as dangerous as a fish.
It's not dangerous at all for humans.
But I'll tell you what,
30 years in this business, I've never had
to open a single bottle of anti-venom.
- Thank you for coming over.
- Appreciate it.
No problem. See you later.
Happy to help.
Have a good day, guys.
Harmless.
[screams mockingly]
Cut it out
or I'll throw you in one of those sacks.
[keyboard clacking]
Subject: Appointment Apartment
I will be present at the apartment
later today to sign the contract.
Kind regards,
Dominique
[email sends]
[alarm blaring]
[Katrien over radio] A hiker saw a body
drifting away from the pier.
It's best to comb the area next to it.
Copy that. Thanks.
Sweet, right,
the awakening of young love?
Boris got a date with Katrien
from the emergency dispatch,
but they've never seen each other.
It's a blind date.
Let's go that way, Tom.
Maybe she has webbed feet
like a frog's.
Or has hydrocephalus.
Or she used to be a man.
It's not a bad thing or anything.
Or she's a he-she. Or an it.
Dude, can't you just be quiet?
She's never seen me either. Okay?
[Gio] Oh, so you're worried
that she may not like you.
Oh, B-Man.
There. You see that?
- Yeah.
- [Boris] Go ahead.
[engine accelerating]
We must check how fresh the corpse is!
If it's been floating here
for several days,
it could disintegrate
when we pull it on board!
Tom, do you think
you can check that for us?
Really?
For sure.
[Gio and Boris laughing]
[Boris] There it is.
[Gio] Check it out.
- [Boris] Yeah.
- [Gio] You got it?
[Boris] Yeah.
[both straining]
She's not really my type.
I prefer brunettes over bald women.
All right, stop. Get it.
Let's get you comfortable, girl.
- Come on, sweetie.
- Pull her leg, the other side.
They bring these things filled
with illegal substances on English ships.
When they see customs officers,
they just throw these overboard.
I'm sure
there are more dolls floating around.
Should we take it to customs?
The boats of the fire department
are never checked.
[tense music playing]
[quietly] Hey.
[tsks]
What, you don't like it?
What's wrong with it?
You can't wear that on a date.
No perfume, no shirt, no decent pants?
Oh, boy, you don't
understand women at all.
Seriously, uh, as your friend,
you look like a homeless man.
Oh, yeah?
Well, thanks, friend.
- Do you want to ride?
- Yeah, sure.
I have perfume in my car.
Oh, yeah? Acqua di Muskrat, I guess.
[sighs]
[gripping music playing]
Fantastic. Awesome.
Congratulations
on purchasing your apartment.
Thanks. Thank you.
Are you celebrating at home
with a nice glass of champagne?
Beautiful view of Ostend.
[car honks]
Hey, don't touch my car.
Move on.
[death metal playing in venue]
Yo, B-Man, these are weirdos.
Say that a bit louder.
Well, just be careful, all right?
- With all these freaks.
- Yeah, yeah.
And? Any last suggestions? [sighs]
Not really. Just be yourself.
That's more than enough.
- [exhales]
- [chuckles]
- You'll be okay.
- All right, thanks, man.
[car door closes]
[engine starts]
Yo.

3 MISSED CALLS
MESSAGES - GRÉGOIR
YOU KNOW WHAT WE'VE GOT ON YOU.
[death metal playing in venue]
- Are you going in?
- No, we don't have tickets.
Here, free VIP tickets.
Seriously?
Man, thanks. Amazing. Thank you.
- Thank you, man.
- Enjoy.
[sighs]
[rock music playing on speakers]
I can't believe it, dude.
The audacity.
Listen.
We need to form a front
against these women.
Like Katrien.
Man, she reminds me of my exes.
Left while we were driving go-karts.
It was so sad, racing against myself.
[chuckles softly]
And then Julie, you know her.
She stood me up in a restaurant, Koekoek.
Best chicken in Ostend.
I don't understand, Gio.
[sighs] That concert
was the most amazing event.
[sighs]
She played with me, dude.
Or what if
[sighs] What if she saw a photo of me
on the Internet?
If she did, it didn't help at all.
- [door opens]
- [man 1] I've seen it on TV.
- [door closes]
- It's a great show.
- I laughed a lot.
- [man 2] Hilarious.
- [woman] Hi.
- [Steve] Hey.
- You all right?
- Yeah, thanks.
- A pint, right?
- Yeah, sounds nice.
God damn it.
Look at that. Damn traitor.
Come on, dude. We should bounce.
Enough idiots for the day.
[chuckles] My men from the station.
Should we have a drink together?
How's the new Lieutenant, huh?
Yes?
Boris, we're leaving. Come on.
You shouldn't have done that, Steve.
What are you talking about?
You know well what I'm talking about.
Uh, no, I got no clue.
First you left us,
and now you're dragging us
through the mud. Huh?
Leaking to the press,
sending them pictures
and gossip about us. Huh?
Dude, Gio is devastated.
Before you know it, they'll shut us down.
Is that what you want?
How low can you go, huh?
Assistant, my ass.
Boris, I've I, I haven't done
any of those things.
Who said that?
Ah.
The new boy, that Tom.
God damn it, guys, seriously.
He had Nina losing her mind,
and now he's stirring up trouble
between us.
There's always
someone else to blame, Steve. Huh?
That self-pity of yours,
it's making me want to puke.
Come on, we're leaving.
- Sharon.
- [Sharon] So soon?
Damn it!
Pour me another.
[tense music playing]
[knocking at door]
[knocking continues]
- [Tom] Simeon?
- [knocking at door]
Is that you guys?
[knocking at door]
Did you really think
that I'd never find out about it?
Fucking cunt.
First you piss off my girl,
now you're ruining my reputation.
Keep your distance from Nina, understand?
NEXT TIME
[men grunting]
Yeah? Wait, don't tell me.
I wanted to apologize.
Can we meet, yeah?
Katrien, I don't know
why I'd agree to that.
It's not like we're together. Are we?
It's your job, right?
Just close the door
and leave everything behind?.
PREVIOUSLY
Can I ask you a few questions now, sir?
Sergeant Knockaert will
answer your questions today.
You know the rules.
We have no secrets.
We put it all on the table.
[man] Your daughter's crossing the line,
doing that blue whale challenge.
Hey, what the fuck?
- You lost your mind?
- [Dominique] Who is Vera?
Do you mind telling me
what's going on here?
We're not allowed to do it.
You are allowed
to plug a fire hose incorrectly.
[Gio] We have a leak.
- Come on, Gio, don't say Steve.
- Of course Steve.
We're both doing the test,
may the best man to be the new assistant.
Sight of the seaside is breathtaking.
Golden opportunity.
Killers Dead Dream?
Emergency dispatch enjoys death metal?
Training comes along with a date?
I shouldn't've treated you like that.
- We have to celebrate.
- I stopped drinking.
We have something else too, huh?
It's not a drink.
I just want to apologize!
A NETFLIX SERIES
[Vincent mimicking truck]
Emergency dispatch, East Bank station,
there's a blaze in the hospital!
Pump truck three is authorized!
Creating safe passage!
[boy mimicking fire truck siren]
Whoa! Confrontation with Triceratops!
[screams]
Hey, it's too loud.
Sit down, everybody,
we're having breakfast.
[Vincent] Oh! Godzilla strikes again!
Run! He's coming to smash the city! Run!
- Come here.
- [doorbell rings]
A little boy for breakfast?
Godzilla likes that.
[growls and chuckles]
I'll go see who it is.
- [boy growls]
- Yeah, well [squeals] Oh, no.
[Vincent clears throat]
Why are you here?
Hey. Hey. I'm here for the article.
I do nothing but my job, okay?
No, it's not your job
to run us into the mud.
You decide what to write, don't you?
- You've no idea what you've done.
- Hey! Whoa, whoa.
You came to me. Don't forget that.
Because of the firecams,
but nothing else besides that.
Oh, well, I did address it, didn't I,
like you wanted?
But I showed that WhatsApp message
to prove a point.
But none of those messages
were meant to be released.
You're a two-faced bitch.
- Really? Really?
- Well
- Hey! Hi.
- [Vincent] A visitor.
- Who is it?
- [Carlijn] How are you?
- Carlijn.
- [Carlijn] Hi. Hey.
- Come on. You all right?
- [Carlijn] How are you?
- I'm good.
- That's great.
UNDER FIRE
[fire crackling]
[mellow music playing]
[indistinct chatter on TV]
[cell phone chimes]
What, am I under surveillance?
Why would you say that?
Facebook. You got it?
Hey.
- May I?
- Of course, honey.
Yeah, Miss Meersman,
what can I do for you?
Seriously, Geert, I think
something's up with Marieke.
What that Dubois said
That guy Dubois? I told you the man
is trying to blow this whole thing
out of proportion with his judgment.
Just two years ago
their mother died. Okay?
Marieke is mourning, and that is normal.
It all happened very quickly for them.
Maybe it happened too quickly for us too.
Living together, I mean.
I'm sure it wasn't simple for the girls.
I know, yeah, they're teenagers.
- I know how difficult it can be.
- [sighs]
I've been taking all that into account.
I've saved some money for my own place.
- You know that
- We've discussed this.
You know I don't agree, Dominique.
I think it's important for us
to be a family.
But I don't want to leave you.
Dominique, seriously, that avoidance
and allusion in your behavior,
I thought we moved past that.
Oh, God, I'm not your client, Geert.
No, but I do talk to people all day,
and they sit exactly in that chair.
People with difficult childhoods,
like you.
If they get the chance
to join a nice family and settle down,
they panic because they feel trapped
in the difficult family environment.
You have to talk to your daughter.
- That's all I'm asking from you.
- Okay.
Thanks a lot for your concern.
[tense music playing]
[indistinct conversation]
But if we don't stop, are you going
to tell your mommy
or maybe cry like a baby?
Aw.
Bye, Vera. Bye-bye.
[engine starts]
[mellow music playing]
[door opening]
[door closes]
[Boris sighs]
Check this out.
"In the aftermath of a fire
in a brothel in Ostend,
East Bank station's firemen
supposedly violated the privacy
of clients and prostitutes
by taking sensitive pictures of them."
What did I tell you? You brat.
- Here.
- It's Steve.
He's been sending photos to the press.
Delete Steve from the chat
before they go public with all that stuff.
Boris, kick him out of the group.
Childish.
[shoe soles squeak]
[sighs]
There you go.
- Happy now?
- Thanks.
[automated voice]
Hello. You have one new message.
Hi. Uh, good day, ma'am.
This is Michel Dubois again.
I've been trying to reach out
to your husband for a few times already,
but apparently he's not,
he's not answering his phone.
Um, uh, my daughter Vera was very upset
when she left
for her summer job this morning,
and I've been trying to reach her.
I haven't been able to.
Is she with Marieke at the square?
Could you please, if you call me back
with any information you have?
- Thank you, ma'am.
- [line disconnects]
[Orlando] Did you read today's newspaper?
MIDDLE MANAGEMENT M02
OFF2 THROUGH RECRUITMEN
- Ooh, dude.
- What?
You scared me to death, man.
Give me that thing.
- What?
- That one's mine.
- [scoffs]
- Use this.
- [highlighter clatters]
- You're a freak.
These are my highlighters.
Thank you.
- [siren wailing]
- [Orlando sighs]
[automated voice] Attention!
- [Orlando] Come on, Vince.
- Yup.
[automated voice] Attention!
[Dominique] Details?
- Jumper, a young woman. Go.
- [automated voice] Attention!
Deploy multi-purpose vehicle.
Oh, my God.
[Orlando] Gio, move it! Come on!
[Dominique] Geert, it's me.
Is Marieke home?
We have a huge problem.
She's gone too far this time.
Listen to me. No, no, listen to me, Geert.
The girl they were bullying
[sirens wailing]
[dispatcher] Teen girl spotted
on the roof of the Zeedijk Hotel.
The place is located
near the Groot Strand area.
East Bank station has been dispatched.
Hotel employees are saying that
the girl's working there as an intern.
Um, she's standing on the 10th floor,
and she threatens to jump
if anyone gets close.
- Police?
- [dispatcher] Notified and on their way.
Thanks. Copy that.
- She already saw us.
- Shall we go up?
Air cushion.
Noelle, Henry.
Evacuate everyone from the dike.
Not a single pedestrian
can come through here.
If she falls on someone, they're dead. Go!
Vincent, coordinate the cushion placement.
Check. Come on, get the mat.
[air hissing]
- Just let me through.
- I said no!
We're not sending civilians
like you up there.
- Yeah, sure.
- Get behind the perimeter line.
- You've been warned.
- I get it.
- But I'm not just a civilian.
- Excuse me, do you mind, sir?
Cushion's ready, paramedics standing by.
- We can move.
- Great.
See? That's exactly what I said.
- A professional has to
- Geert, stop!
Is there a problem?
Support and stand by your daughter.
Ma'am, please keep this man
off the premises.
Dominique, come on.
You can't be serious.
Sir.
And you, we're talking about this.
Yeah.
Come, we're going up.
Tenth floor, sir?
To the corner on the left.
- Dominique, wait up, please.
- What?
- Will you manage?
- What do you mean?
Split your personal life from work.
And that was very personal.
Good God, with your past
I trust you,
but can you leave this one to me?
- I'm doing it myself.
- Are you sure?
Wait here in the hallway
in case I need you.
All right?
[door beeps]
Vera?
I'm Dominique, from the fire department.
Veera, I'm coming over.
- Please don't do anything reckless.
- Go away, I'm gonna jump!
I just want to talk.
I'm coming over. Okay?
Vera, look at me.
How old are you? Sixteen?
- Step back!
- Vera.
I'm from the fire department,
but I'm also Marieke's stepmother.
And I know they're bullying you.
That blue wheel challenge is horrible.
It's too much pressure for you.
Please, don't! Stay right there!
[creaking]
Listen, I don't underestimate
the pain you're feeling right now.
And And I've had moments
when I wanted to jump too.
But I didn't do it.
Because I know how it feels
to be left behind.
Think about your family.
If you jump now, you'll be gone,
but the rest of us will be left behind,
full of sorrow.
Your family will be devastated,
don't you see?
You don't understand!
You don't understand!
I understand better than you imagine.
Better than anybody here.
I say this with certainty because
my mom left me in the same way.
She decided to jump.
She probably thought it would be better
to disappear for good.
But then, she was really gone.
And the hole, the void and fear
she left was insufferable.
I didn't want to study,
kept picking up fights.
I drank a lot to fill that void.
Until I understood that I was so angry.
Marieke is angry as well.
She misses her mother.
She unloads by punishing others
to avoid the pain she's feeling.
Do you understand?
You don't have to suffer for that.
You're 16 years old.
You have your whole life before you.
What will you do?
Will you plunge into that void?
Or will you take the first step
of the rest of your life?
Come.
[Vera sobbing]
It's okay.
It's okay.
[Geert] I don't mean to justify it,
but she's going through tough times.
- It's been very difficult for her.
- [female officer] I understand.
[Geert] You see, ma'am,
her mother died not long ago.
She'll have to come to the station.
You have to come as her guardian.
Okay, I understand.
Oh. Um
They want to question her at the station.
I'm going with her
since she's still a minor,
so come on, get in.
- [engine starts]
- [car door shuts]
Come on, let's go to the station.
Thank you.
[sighs]
[Orlando] You all right?
- Listen, Dominique, children
- Bonus children.
You just want them
to drown in the sea sometimes.
They're assholes.
Tell me about it.
I can't believe she could be that cruel.
That poor girl could be dead by now.
I look into those eyes,
but what I see is a child so broken.
- You saved her, didn't you?
- [sniffles]
By the way, bonus children,
what the hell is that?
- [chuckling] I mean
- Did you come up with that?
What does that mean?
Stands for bonus bullshit, right?
- Bonus misery?
- Hmm.
Huh?
I do get her, though.
Her mother has died.
Good reason to feel anger, right?
I know, back then, I treated everyone,
including you, pretty awful.
I was horrible.
That's true.
And I know that witnessing
Marieke hurting others
is like looking at myself in a mirror.
What do you see, though?
A beautiful woman?
[chuckles]
- An attractive lady?
- [laughing]
- Don't.
- What?
That's enough, you idiot.
Don't. [sniffles]
We have a report to write.
- Really?
- Come on.
All right.
[Geert] But why?
Why would you do something like that?
You know what that does to people,
don't you?
Do you know?
How can you do something like that
to the poor girl?
I'm sorry, I just don't understand.
I just don't get it.
Especially coming from you.
You know how it is.
You went through it yourself.
[Simeon] Hello, Tommy.
- Oh, wow. Hey, guys.
- Hey, man.
You all right?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- Yeah?
- And you?
- We're good. We're good.
So, you're still in Ostend.
Yeah. We were in the neighborhood.
Wanted to visit our buddy, Tommy.
You all right, Grégoir?
What's with your arm?
[Simeon] Tom, can we have a word?
Hey, listen, we're in deep shit.
- In the shit?
- [Simeon] Hmm.
[Simeon clears throat]
What happened now?
Let me guess. You did something stupid,
and I have to fix it. Pass.
- Don't play coy. You're not a saint.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[Grégoir] No, I remember.
I know stuff about you.
And now we're in need,
but you pretend to forget
Calm down, man. Calm down!
Hey, Grégoir, I didn't forget
what you guys did for me,
- but I don't want to be in this again.
- No, dude
I'm two years clean.
Simeon, I'm busting my ass.
I'm trying to make something of my life.
You see his arm?
That's just the beginning, Tommy.
They'll find me, Tom.
I swear, dude,
these guys will have me killed, man.
Dead.
But, bro. Wow, kill you?
We lost four pounds of merchandise.
- What? You serious?
- [elevator opens]
We were supposed to deliver it.
We got out of the car for a moment
Yeah, we left the car for just a second.
It was gone when we came back.
It was gone?
What, just flew off or what, huh?
Jesus Christ, guys.
Now what?
They asked us to,
uh, pick up a package for them
- here in Ostend.
- In Ostend.
- A package?
- Yeah.
If we do that, they'll leave us alone.
Sounds like a real good deal.
- Then it's done. Of course it is.
- Yeah.
[Tom] Mm-hmm.
You actually believe that?
They'll leave you alone?
You're not that stupid, are you?
Tom, what should we do?
We're already stuck in that shit.
Please, Tom.
- Sorry, but I can't.
- You got to help us.
Why did you come to me?
Because since Brexit, the inspections have
been much stricter on the water.
Nothing escapes customs, man.
Excluding Department of Defense,
police
And the fire department.
You've got it all figured out.
You must have a lifeboat.
Maybe we can use that.
What the fuck, Grégoir? Really, man?
You just decided to take a quick sniff?
Are you out of your fucking head? Huh?
You expect me to believe this?
Is your arm actually broken?
- Ah! Fuck!
- Hey! Hey, hey!
[Grégoir groaning]
Listen, leave me out of this mess.
Okay, Simeon?
And leave me the fuck alone.
Okay?
Hey, if it wasn't for us,
you'd be behind bars.
- [Simeon] Yes.
- Have you forgotten, Tom?
What's stored on my voicemail, huh?
When you called us sobbing?
[mimics crying]
Who got your back then, huh?
I guess we'll have to go to the cops. Huh?
Is that what you want?
Is that your masterplan?
Man, that's good.
I'll bring your voicemail,
so we can rot in prison together.
Does the fire department know
you're a psycho?
I don't think so.
But we can change that, man.
Fuck off.
- Hey, hey.
- Tom. Tom?
Tom, we need that boat.
Remember that.
Hey,
Marieke.
[sniffles]
You can tell me
how you're feeling. Okay?
I know. Poor you.
[grunting]
- [panting]
- [door opening]
[door closes]
What's up B-Man?
You look beat, my friend.
But you jumped right into it. Hmm?
- Katrien sent me a program to train.
- Katrien?
And the training comes along
with a romantic date, right?
Hmm.
No.
But you did ask her, right?
So you didn't
B-Man, how can you be such a
Coward, yes, I know that.
I was going to say mega pussy,
but coward works pretty well.
[clears throat]
Yeah, come on.
- You think they'll notice?
- What?
What?
What happened between us.
Yeah, well, that won't happen again.
We're not playing house.
By the way,
why am I doing the cage test again?
I've done it 100 times, huh?
You know what they called me, huh?
Tommy Gun.
Because I'm fast as hell.
Tom, I want 100% trust
during our interventions.
You have to be able to control your fears.
And I know the bus fire was all on me,
but I saw you struggling there.
And then the gas explosion
It's getting too dangerous.
Yeah, I get it.
I suffer from occasional panic attacks
ever since the car accident.
- Yeah.
- I don't think that I
That's why
we're doing this exercise again.
Show me what you got,
super-fast, Tommy Gun. Bring it.
Yes, General.
[Katrien] This is the emergency dispatch
for the fire brigade and ambulance.
[woman] There is a snake in my store.
It's a very big one.
It looks dangerous.
Please, send help. I am very scared.
[Katrien] Calm down, please.
Can you tell me your name
and where you're calling from?
My name is Cloah Chi.
I am in my shop in the city center.
Please send help.
[tense music playing]
- You want these?
- [scoffs] Thanks.
[both chuckle]
The chapter on snake interventions,
did you find it in the textbook?
- Did you even read it?
- Textbook?
I bet I'll find the snake within an hour.
What's the wager?
- Ambulance shift?
- Ambulance shift at night.
Ambulance shift Saturday night.
[both chuckle]
- You're going down.
- You wish.
We'll see.
I was working down there,
and then I saw that huge snake.
- It was this big.
- Sounds like a
- Constrictor.
- A boa constrictor.
Like a very big snake.
I think, like, more like a cobra.
I saw one in a documentary.
It's very dangerous animal.
They spit and then you're blind.
Very poisonous.
Bring in the Brussels team.
- What?
- The reptile center.
- You afraid?
- I'm not, but an animal like that
Go wait upstairs.
We'll find the snake, promise.
Okay. Thank you.
- Trying to buy yourself time?
- 'Course not.
Check there, I'll check here
Don't forget our bet.
Yeah, whatever.
[Nina] Okay, Tom, you've got this.
Five minutes to complete the course.
Otherwise, in real life, you'll be dead.
Okay.
[air hissing]
[gripping music playing]
[timer ticking]
Okay.
[Nina] Don't give up, dude.
[timer ticking]
You're almost using your reserve.
You need to keep calm.
If you panic, you'll use up your air
and then you're finished.
Nicely done, Tommy Gun.
Don't slow down. 2.15.
Stick to this pace.
[timer ticking]
Okay, the final stretch.
You're almost there.
[beeps]
Hmm.
[hissing]
- Orlando!
- What?
There! There, I can see it!
[Orlando] Grab it, then.
Close that door.
- Close that door! Close that door!
- Why?
- Why didn't you get it?
- It's a tropical, venomous species.
I'm calling in Brussels.
NC-100 requesting backup.
Reptile intervention.
- Venomous snake. Over.
- [radio beeps]
Don't miss it.
Are you scared of it?
- Huh?
- No?
No, it's just that
- [chuckles]
- I'm cautious.
Cautious, yeah.
- Well.
- Yeah?
- Come.
- No, no, no, please don't, please don't.
- [exhales] Done.
- [Nina] Welcome.
Whew.
Mmm. And? How long?
Uh, yeah, I forgot to start the timer.
- Sorry, you should do it again.
- Ha, ha, ha.
- Funny.
- No, really.
Three minutes 30.
Well done, dude.
- Tommy Gun?
- Yeah, it's actually really good.
Well, it's your turn, Ninja.
It's time to sweat.
- Yeah, well, I don't think so.
- Why?
Well, do you really think
I need to go in the cage?
A little bit. [chuckles]
[Nina chuckles]
I still don't understand what happened
to you during that gas explosion.
Was it the heat?
But I managed in the cage.
Yeah, or was it
[intense music playing]
Was it the sound of the glass breaking?
[cell phone ringing]
[Nina] Won't you get that?
No, I don't care.
Hey, I want to do one more cage.
I'm ready.
No, we're not doing that.
- What?
- Come on, now.
- No?
- No.
Tommy Gun is ready.
SIMEON
MISSED CALL
MESSAGES - SIMEON
WE HAVE TO TALK, TOM
East Bank station to emergency dispatch.
Emergency dispatch is listening.
- Is the coast clear now?
- [chuckles]
It is safe to proceed.
- How are you?
- We have to be quick.
It's pretty busy,
so I have to keep this line available.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh
Oh, well, um
Uh, Domestica is playing in Ostend.
And, uh I mean, I know
it's, it's, uh, it's last minute,
yeah, but I, I kind of, uh
Well, I basically,
I managed to get two tickets
for, uh, for the show that's tonight.
[Katrien] You can't be serious.
I've been trying all week
to buy tickets to their show.
Well, yeah. What you say?
I'm, uh We could meet, I don't know,
tonight in, in front of Elysée?
Yeah?
- Okay.
- Great. Yeah. Yeah.
Yo, Boris.
Yeah. Yo.
[phone ringing]
[sighs]
[Cloah] Uh, he's here for the snake.
[Orlando] Sergeant Foncke.
Thank you for coming.
- My partner thinks it's venomous.
- [Vincent] Incredibly.
Please, sir, it's hiding over there.
- [chuckles]
- [expert] Uh-huh.
Well, let's see it.
Be careful.
Relax.
Close it.
Not so loud.
Snakes can't hear,
but they sense vibration of everything.
And now that animal knows
we're here, god damn it.
[scoffs]
[tense music playing]
Don't move, man.
[high-pitched scream] Mm. Over here.
- Okay, Vince, stay still.
- Do something.
[Orlando] I see it. Don't move.
[Vince grunts]
Move your foot to the side.
Yeah, There you are.
- [hissing]
- Relax. It's a small one.
[Vince shuddering]
- Sir?
- [expert] Here, here, here.
Pituophis deppei jani.
AKA,
Mexican bull snake.
Get in here, honey.
- [Orlando] There you go.
- [expert] Good. Gorgeous.
- Absolutely gorgeous.
- That's it.
Very well. Perfect.
- Ready?
- Yeah.
- Put that away!
- [expert chuckles]
- Don't want it near me.
- Ay, ay, ay.
- Sir, thank you.
- Yeah, yeah, it's okay.
- Nice.
- Shall we?
Let's get the hell out.
You have to tell the police
that we caught this animal.
You won't find these
on the market very often.
And is it venomous?
- Venomous?
- [Orlando] Yeah.
No, son.
This animal is as dangerous as a fish.
It's not dangerous at all for humans.
But I'll tell you what,
30 years in this business, I've never had
to open a single bottle of anti-venom.
- Thank you for coming over.
- Appreciate it.
No problem. See you later.
Happy to help.
Have a good day, guys.
Harmless.
[screams mockingly]
Cut it out
or I'll throw you in one of those sacks.
[keyboard clacking]
Subject: Appointment Apartment
I will be present at the apartment
later today to sign the contract.
Kind regards,
Dominique

[alarm blaring]
[Katrien over radio] A hiker saw a body
drifting away from the pier.
It's best to comb the area next to it.
Copy that. Thanks.
Sweet, right,
the awakening of young love?
Boris got a date with Katrien
from the emergency dispatch,
but they've never seen each other.
It's a blind date.
Let's go that way, Tom.
Maybe she has webbed feet
like a frog's.
Or has hydrocephalus.
Or she used to be a man.
It's not a bad thing or anything.
Or she's a he-she. Or an it.
Dude, can't you just be quiet?
She's never seen me either. Okay?
[Gio] Oh, so you're worried
that she may not like you.
Oh, B-Man.
There. You see that?
- Yeah.
- [Boris] Go ahead.
[engine accelerating]
We must check how fresh the corpse is!
If it's been floating here
for several days,
it could disintegrate
when we pull it on board!
Tom, do you think
you can check that for us?
Really?
For sure.
[Gio and Boris laughing]
[Boris] There it is.
[Gio] Check it out.
- [Boris] Yeah.
- [Gio] You got it?
[Boris] Yeah.
[both straining]
She's not really my type.
I prefer brunettes over bald women.
All right, stop. Get it.
Let's get you comfortable, girl.
- Come on, sweetie.
- Pull her leg, the other side.
They bring these things filled
with illegal substances on English ships.
When they see customs officers,
they just throw these overboard.
I'm sure
there are more dolls floating around.
Should we take it to customs?
The boats of the fire department
are never checked.
[tense music playing]
[quietly] Hey.
[tsks]
What, you don't like it?
What's wrong with it?
You can't wear that on a date.
No perfume, no shirt, no decent pants?
Oh, boy, you don't
understand women at all.
Seriously, uh, as your friend,
you look like a homeless man.
Oh, yeah?
Well, thanks, friend.
- Do you want to ride?
- Yeah, sure.
I have perfume in my car.
Oh, yeah? Acqua di Muskrat, I guess.
[sighs]
[gripping music playing]
Fantastic. Awesome.
Congratulations
on purchasing your apartment.
Thanks. Thank you.
Are you celebrating at home
with a nice glass of champagne?
Beautiful view of Ostend.
[car honks]
Hey, don't touch my car.
Move on.
[death metal playing in venue]
Yo, B-Man, these are weirdos.
Say that a bit louder.
Well, just be careful, all right?
- With all these freaks.
- Yeah, yeah.
And? Any last suggestions? [sighs]
Not really. Just be yourself.
That's more than enough.
- [exhales]
- [chuckles]
- You'll be okay.
- All right, thanks, man.
[car door closes]
[engine starts]
Yo.
[breathing heavily]
- [grunting]
- [cell phone ringing]
[panting]
[cell phone signaling]
MESSAGES - GRÉGOIR
TOM, PLS CALL US BACK.
PHONE - GRÉGOIR
3 MISSED CALLS
MESSAGES - GRÉGOIR
YOU KNOW WHAT WE'VE GOT ON YOU.
[death metal playing in venue]
- Are you going in?
- No, we don't have tickets.
Here, free VIP tickets.
Seriously?
Man, thanks. Amazing. Thank you.
- Thank you, man.
- Enjoy.
[sighs]
[rock music playing on speakers]
I can't believe it, dude.
The audacity.
Listen.
We need to form a front
against these women.
Like Katrien.
Man, she reminds me of my exes.
Left while we were driving go-karts.
It was so sad, racing against myself.
[chuckles softly]
And then Julie, you know her.
She stood me up in a restaurant, Koekoek.
Best chicken in Ostend.
I don't understand, Gio.
[sighs] That concert
was the most amazing event.
[sighs]
She played with me, dude.
Or what if
[sighs] What if she saw a photo of me
on the Internet?
If she did, it didn't help at all.
- [door opens]
- [man 1] I've seen it on TV.
- [door closes]
- It's a great show.
- I laughed a lot.
- [man 2] Hilarious.
- [woman] Hi.
- [Steve] Hey.
- You all right?
- Yeah, thanks.
- A pint, right?
- Yeah, sounds nice.
God damn it.
Look at that. Damn traitor.
Come on, dude. We should bounce.
Enough idiots for the day.
[chuckles] My men from the station.
Should we have a drink together?
How's the new Lieutenant, huh?
Yes?
Boris, we're leaving. Come on.
You shouldn't have done that, Steve.
What are you talking about?
You know well what I'm talking about.
Uh, no, I got no clue.
First you left us,
and now you're dragging us
through the mud. Huh?
Leaking to the press,
sending them pictures
and gossip about us. Huh?
Dude, Gio is devastated.
Before you know it, they'll shut us down.
Is that what you want?
How low can you go, huh?
Assistant, my ass.
Boris, I've I, I haven't done
any of those things.
Who said that?
Ah.
The new boy, that Tom.
God damn it, guys, seriously.
He had Nina losing her mind,
and now he's stirring up trouble
between us.
There's always
someone else to blame, Steve. Huh?
That self-pity of yours,
it's making me want to puke.
Come on, we're leaving.
- Sharon.
- [Sharon] So soon?
Damn it!
Pour me another.
[tense music playing]
[knocking at door]
[knocking continues]
- [Tom] Simeon?
- [knocking at door]
Is that you guys?
[knocking at door]
Did you really think
that I'd never find out about it?
Fucking cunt.
First you piss off my girl,
now you're ruining my reputation.
Keep your distance from Nina, understand?
NEXT TIME
[men grunting]
Yeah? Wait, don't tell me.
I wanted to apologize.
Can we meet, yeah?
Katrien, I don't know
why I'd agree to that.
It's not like we're together. Are we?
It's your job, right?
Just close the door
and leave everything behind?.
