01x07 - Ivo

[bunniefuu]

-[birds chirping]
-[tense music playing]

[water running]

[computer game g*nf*re]

[beeping on computer game]

[computer game g*nf*re]

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

[laughs]

[exhales]

-[cell phone beeping]
-[Simon] Oh, Jesus.

[music fades]

[cop] Police! Show us your hands.
Keep 'em up!

-Oh, f*ck.
-[cop] Get up! Up!

-[haunting music playing]
-Uh, okay, okay, okay.

[cop] Turn around. Hands on your head.

Hands on your head.

[Simon grunts]

Okay! Okay, okay, okay. Okay. Okay.

[groans]

Take it easy! What is this?

-[thudding]
-Ow, goddammit!

[cop] Shut up!

[g*ns rattle]

-[cop] Police! Hands in the air!
-[gasps]

Put your hands up!

Simon!

[Karen] Simon is using Gym at Sea
to launder money.

And Hanneke was convinced that
Evert's death had something to do with it.

Yes, they can. That's their job.

[Karen] She never believed
that Evert started the fire himself.

[tires squeal]

When Hanneke left Evert's cremation,

after I slapped her, I think
she threatened to go to the police.

-[cop 1] Okay, let's go. Police! Police!
-[cop 2] Police! Police!

[Karen] And I think
Patricia may well have known

that Hanneke was in her apartment.

She had the keys.

[indistinct shouting]

[Karen] What if Patricia had gone there?

[Koos] "I saw her first at the hospital."

"She lied about where she was
the night of Hanneke's fall."

"Patricia was not with her husband
that night, because that's impossible."

"I know that because I was with Simon."

"At his beach house."

"I lied in an earlier interview

only because I have a relationship
with Simon de Jager."

Had.

"Is only because I had a relationship
with Simon de Jager." Had.

"And I didn't want that to come out."

[Carola] Mm.

[music fades]

-That's all for now?
-[Koos] Yeah.

We'll keep you posted.

Yeah.

[tense music playing]

THE PERFECT LIE

[music fades]

Starter problem?

Yeah, what do you want me to say?

I hope you had
a great f*cking time? Simon.

Simon! Here I am with my principles
and my good behavior.

-Oh, for f*ck's sake.
-[Karen gasps]

It has nothing to do with you.

[Michel] No. That's very clear.

No, it is all about you.
Everything. Isn't it? Everything!

Out of all the f*cking assholes
in this f*cking village!

Why did it have to be Simon?

-Seriously.
-Well, it wasn't something I planned.

I'm going to prison.

Thanks to you, I'm going to prison!

Listen, I haven't told the police
about anything involving you.

No! Leave that to Simon
when he gets arrested, right?

[growls]

[sighs]

-Please, please, don't tell Sophie.
-I'll leave that to you!

[sighs]

It's only for a few nights, okay?

Ivo is staying with Hanneke
at the hospital,

so I'm helping out
to be there for Anne and Wolf.

-[somber music playing]
-Bye, sweetie.

[footsteps recede]

[keys jangle]

[door opens]

[Babette] Karen?

The police were at the gym.

[music fades]

Karen?

Kare, the police went by the gym

and they grabbed the computers,
the ledgers, everything.

What did you do?

Why would you talk to them
without telling me?

I couldn't anymore.

For Hanneke.

[sighs]

You just have no idea.

Simon and Patricia have been arrested.

If they're both in custody…

Patricia's family, they're all criminals.
Every one of them.

[uneasy music playing]

You don't want to mess with these people.

[music fades]

Patricia?

[Carola] An incriminating statement
has been made,

and Patricia was detained on suspicion
of involvement with Hanneke's accident.

I know this is a lot, Mr. Smit.

I wish we could be more helpful.

-Sorry. We'll keep investigating.
-[Koos] We'll let you know.

-[Carola] Absolutely.
-What does… If… If… Was Simon involved?

Simon was also detained on suspicion
of drug trafficking and money laundering.

We're investigating
whether the cases are connected.

Hey, love.

[machines beep]

[sighs] What happened to you?

[breathes shakily]

Hey, Ivo?

Could, um…

Can we talk?

[tense music playing]

[Martine] Ivo.

[music fades]

I just want to protect my family.

'Cause

your family is sacred, right?

That's all I want.

[door closes]

ill*gal drug trafficking?

-[Wolf] Just anabolics.
-How could you do this?

When I picked you up at the police station

with that bullshit story
about stolen shoes,

you lied to me, Wolf.

I couldn't… I was forced.

-By Babette.
-[Ivo gasps]

Babette knew about this?

-[haunting music playing]
-Yeah.

[Ivo sighs]

Do you think they're gonna arrest me?

[sighs]

-Go home and rest, okay?
-[Wolf] Mm-hmm.

Talk to your sister.

[Wolf cries]

[sighs]

We all have secrets we're keeping.

[music fades]

The whole dinner club.

You too?

[upbeat music playing]

[inaudible speech]

-Hey.
-Hey.

[sniffs]

-Yeah, she's back.
-[intriguing music playing]

Tapping you out. You're good.

Later, bud.

[chuckles softly]

[Hanneke] You're home late.

Good workout?

Yeah.

-Can't you see?
-[music fades]

-Ooh!
-Yeah, yeah.

-[Hanneke grunts, giggles]
-[Ivo growls]

Hanneke is actually
the only honest one of us.

And she was right.

About Simon.

About the drugs.
The money laundering. About Evert.

[scoffs]

She never for a minute
bought the story of the fire.

Did she think that Simon and Patricia
were guilty of setting the fire?

Not that. Not directly, I mean.

[sighs] How Babette would talk about him.
She just didn't believe it.

And you?

Did you believe Babette?

At first.

But?

[sniffling]

[Babette whimpering]

[Babette sighs]

[Babette sniffs]

[Ivo] Hey.

Are you okay?

What happened?

Evert's drinking again.

He says he's not,
but it makes me so worried.

What if he's drunk
and the kids find him like that?

What? Hey, hey. He wouldn't do that.

Are you sure?
I mean, wasn't he doing better?

No, no. He wasn't sober at all. He's…

I w… I… I… I… I've been so scared
to think of what he might do.

What if he does something stupid?

I don't know, Ivo.
He's blaming everything on me.

Like it's all my fault.

It's like I can't
do anything right anymore.

[Ivo sighs]

Would you…

Could you talk to him sometime? Please?

Of course. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, I don't want to fight,
and… and he doesn't listen to me.

It'll be okay. Hey.

-[Babette] Sorry. I just…
-No.

-[Babette] I don't want to burden you.
-It's okay, sweetheart.

-[Babette cries]
-Shh.

-It's gonna be okay.
-[somber music playing]

[Evert] I'm not drinking.

[music fades]

I'm not, okay?

I see exactly what's happening here.

Me and Babette?

We've been living a complete f*cking lie.

Hm. When I picked up the kids,
I told her that.

I didn't want to go back
to the way things were.

All the f*cking time,
we just bring out the worst in each other.

And now, apparently,
I'm having an affair, and I'm drinking.

-Yeah, well, I think--
-She wouldn't let me take the kids.

My own boys.

[Ivo] Hm.

She just left me standing outside.

[Ivo] So, you haven't been drinking?

-Ah, man, come on. What--
-[Ivo] Sorry, Evert, but I…

Everyone was really worried.

That film, it… I was shocked.
That's not like you, man.

You know, the drinking is…

I've been unhappy for so long, okay?
Just drinking it away.

Okay.

And the aggression?

You don't know Babette.

-Hm?
-[Evert] Not really.

My lawyer told me
to record our conversations, just in case.

ALL RECORDINGS

[cell phone dings]

[Babette] We're married.

-You made me a promise.
-[Evert] You're not happy either, are you?

[Babette] What are you talking about?
You don't get to decide how I feel.

-Know what, Evert? You're pathetic.
-[Evert] Yeah, yeah.

[Babette] It's sad
when you really look at it.

Honestly, people just feel sorry for you.
And not just me.

-Everyone.
-[Evert] Why are you saying this?

[Babette] You let Simon
take over your business

and now they're laughing at you
behind your back. Simon and Michel.

They think you're a loser, Evert.

Especially Ivo. He wants
absolutely nothing to do with you.

-What the f*ck?
-No, listen.

[Babette] I can't allow you
to keep damaging these boys.

-[Evert] We had an agreement.
-[Babette] You're not sticking with it.

-[Evert] I haven't been drinking.
-[Babette] You're cheating on me!

With one of my best friends.

[Evert] Stop with these delusions.
Stop it. I'm not doing anything.

There's absolutely nothing going on
between me and Hanneke.

[Babette] If she comes near the boys
one more time, I swear I'll k*ll her.

I will destroy her.
I'll grab a knife and slit her throat.

Do you understand that, Evert?
Do you understand?

Okay. You know Babette sometimes
says things she doesn't mean, right?

[tense music playing]

There's nothing going on
between me and Hanneke.

-I know that.
-Yeah.

[cell phone dialing]

[cell phone ringing]

[music fades]

This is the voicemail of Ivo Smit.

Leave your message after the beep
and I'll call you back.

[Beau] Yeah, I like your colors better.

[Babette] Think I should have
let him take them?

I mean, well, it's his weekend, right?

[Beau] I don't know. Do you dare me
to touch my finger to it?

[Karen] I do think it's good
if you can stick to your agreement.

[Babette] Guys, are you playing with fire
again? I told you to stop.

You're gonna get burned.

But what if he suddenly
shows up at the door, Karen?

He has such a temper.

Yeah, maybe it's good to just sit down
and talk to him about it.

In an open and honest way.

And be careful about what you say

in the heat of passion.

[tense music playing]

What do you mean?

Did he say something to you?

Has he been taping us at home?

[music fades]

Here. And there. Plate.
A knife's missing at this place.

[silverware clanks]

Okay, get those hands washed.

Karen, can you wash yours too?

Isn't it a bit early
for dinner, you think?

No. I don't think so.

Uh, can I have a towel?

Yeah.

Oh. I got this place reorganized.

Here. That's a better spot.

-Beau, pass me those pumpkin seeds.
-[Beau] Okay.

Where is, uh, Soph, hm?

I don't know.

Go and sit down, boys. We're eating.

[Karen] Soph?

Hey.

Sweetheart?

Honey?

If you're getting divorced,
maybe just say so.

Mom.

If you say sorry,
then everything will be fine again.

Just say it.

I'll talk to him soon, okay?

And then Papa will come home,

and Babette, Beau, and Luuk
will go away, right?

Are you eating with us or not?

Yeah. We'll be there.

[scoffs]

Is she mad?

She blames me for it.

Her loyalty lies
with the parent she's worried about.

And that's Michel.

Not everyone believes it, but I think that
children themselves choose their parents.

It's her path.

Hey, since I cooked,
maybe you can tidy up?

[haunting music playing]

[Michel] We need to talk about Sophie.

So…

[music fades]

-She misses you.
-Yeah.

Yeah.

I do too.

[Michel sighs]

Michel, I won't give you an excuse,

but, I mean, that article k*lled me, and--

Oh, wow! That's where you're going
with this? Great.

Imagine how it felt to go through that.

Yeah. Sure. Yeah. So you go
and f*ck someone. That right?

-It was a mistake, okay?
-[Michel] I don't understand.

Can you just tell me why you did it?
I… I'm your husband.

No matter what happens to us,
I'm always there for you--

-[scoffs] Yeah.
-So, what?

-You… You were ashamed of me.
-Oh! Are you serious?

No, I was ashamed

that you started screaming at
the other parents at our child's school.

That's what I'm ashamed of.

Sorry if I found that f*cking difficult,
okay? I'm human.

Can't you just once accept the fact that,
just like the rest of us,

you make mistakes sometimes?

Can't you? That maybe… Oh, I don't know.
Maybe sometimes you're just human too?

[Michel sighs]

We're supposed to be
in this together, Karen.

[exhales]

[clears throat]

Maybe… Maybe it's better that Soph lives
with me for a while. Don't you think? Hm?

Wait, what?

She's scared.

But… [scoffs] Scared? Why?

There is an altar
in the house, Karen. She's ten.

It's been really hard for her
with Babette and the boys there.

Yeah, I just…
I'm not gonna kick them out on the street.

-[somber music playing]
-I can't.

[music fades]

-Hey.
-Hey.

-Hey.
-[Ivo] Hi, sweetheart.

-[Karen] Hey.
-[Anne] Hi.

Is, uh… Is Sophie still in class?

I don't know.

Bye. Okay.

[Ivo] Hm.

-How was your class?
-[Anne] Fine, I guess.

-[Ivo] And your math quiz?
-[Anne] Bad.

[uneasy music playing]

[Karen] Sophie?

Soph?

[cell phone dialing]

Hi. You've reached Babette's voicemail.
Leave your message after the tone, please.

Soph?

Soph!

[sighs]

Sophie?

Soph? Hey, Beau.

[video game beeping]

Have you seen Sophie?

Is that a no?

Yeah.

Okay, did she not carpool
with your mom to the school?

No.

Where's your mother?

-Wait.
-What?

-Don't tell.
-What?

Don't tell Mama.

About the phone.

Oh.

Jesus. No. I won't.

-[Michel] Hey.
-[Karen] Hey. Hey, did you…

Is, um… Has Sophie called today?

[Michel] No. Wait, why?
Isn't she with you?

No. No. I, um…

I… I'm sure she's with Babette, but I…
I'll call you back later, okay?

[Michel] Yeah, but I didn't ev--

[tense music playing]

[sighs]

Sophie.

Sophie?

Soph?

Sophie?

[music fades]

-Is she here?
-Is who here?

Soph?

[Patricia's dad] Let's all keep
our voices down, shall we?

I'm here with my daughter's children,

who want to know
when Papa and Mama are coming home.

And what they're guilty of.

I say that their parents
did nothing wrong.

Then the children ask
why they were arrested.

-[tense music playing]
-And what should I say then?

That some woman f*cked their dad?

And she's jealous of Mom and has made
all kinds of wild claims to the police?

Where's my daughter?
She never knew about your business.

My daughter is being held wrongfully.

-Soph!
-And no one f*ck with my family.

[Karen] Sophie!

[cell phone ringing]

-Hey?
-[Michel] Hey, Sophie just got here.

She walked all the way home from school.

Oh!

-Great.
-[Michel] What the hell is going on?

-[Karen] Nothing. I'm on my way.
-[Michel] Seriously, what is going on--

[music fades]

Oh, sweetie!
Don't ever do that to me again.

I was so worried about you.

Hey.

Are you in love with Simon?

What the f*ck did you tell her?

What? I didn't say anything.

[Karen] Then where did she get that from?

Hey. What made you say that?

Wh… Where did you get that idea, huh?

I want to stay with my papa for a while.

[somber music playing]

[Karen scoffs]

[Karen breathes shakily]

[Karen crying]

That feeling that you could lose
your marriage, or even your children,

that is… so menacing

that a little lie is simple.

Then you're a liar.

And you lie.

And lie.

And you lie some more.

You even lie to yourself.

That it won't come out. But it does.

[music stops]

Then it's over.

Hey, Ivo?

I've been calling you.

Yeah, sorry, yeah.

-I was gonna call back. Sorry.
-[Babette] How'd it go with Evert?

What did he say?

[trainer] There you go.

[Babette] Come on.

What did he say?

Did he blame me for everything again?

Mm, uh…

Maybe you should
talk to somebody. A professional.

I can't help you. This is

so complicated.

I just hope that you can find
a good solution together, you know?

Without things escalating unnecessarily.

Oh! That's on me?

-I didn't say that.
-[Babette] No, you're not saying that.

That's all Evert. Right?

[scoffs]

-I thought I could count on you, Ivo.
-Yes. You can.

After everything with Wolf and the police?

I appreciate that, okay?

I should've known
you would blindly have Evert's back.

You can't just keep the kids away
from him, okay? That's cruel and petty.

Maybe you should focus
on your own marriage, Ivo.

If your wife hadn't come after him,
Evert would have been home long ago.

Now, Babette, you gotta stop this.

You just can't spread these lies
every time you're angry.

Seriously?

-[tense music playing]
-Oh, I lie?

And you?

You brief Hanneke
about your walks in the dunes?

And all those men in the sauna?

You didn't know we had cameras, Ivo?

I don't want you spending time with Evert.

Not anymore.

You wouldn't want me to talk to Hanneke.

[music fades]

[Anne] And he wants to come in
and look at the body.

[chuckles] She sleeping?

-It's a he.
-And he's dead.

They're keeping vigil.

Hey, Sophie.

Do you remember the cremation,

when you stayed back?

Think back then.

When your mom
went out for a bit. You remember?

And… And Babette was…
She… She stayed here with you, right?

[tense music playing]

Sophie,

was Babette at the house?

Um…

Babette has a side
that has a very dark energy.

She's possessive.

And very jealous of my wife.

So when I heard that Simon and Karen had
lied about where they were that evening…

So did Patricia.

And so Babette was alone at the house.

With the kids.

Who were in bed then.

Uh, she was furious with Hanneke.

What if she drove out to her?
It's barely a drive.

[music fades]

[Babette] Oh my God!

You must have been so worried.

Well, I just took Luuk
to get some groceries.

My phone was dead.

Of course it was.

My shopping list was on it, too, actually.

If anything's missing
in the kitchen, blame technology.

How did Sophie know about Simon and me?

What?

Why?

She asked me questions and I tried to…

And it just slipped out.

Yeah, I… I was…

Sorry, I'm still just really confused.

Sorry, I…

[Karen] Oh my God.

Can you forgive me?

-Has anybody said anything?
-What do you mean?

I know everyone's talking about me.

Jesus, Babette. This isn't about you.
This is about Sophie.

[cell phone buzzing]

My God.

Hey, Ivo.

What?

Yeah.

Yeah, thank you.

They think she might be waking up.

[exhales happily]

[tense music playing]

[exhales]

[music fades]

[machines beeping]

-Hey.
-[Karen] Hey, Ivo. How are you?

Did you manage to get any sleep?

Has the doctor said anything yet?

Ivo, what did they say?

Could we speak?

In private.

Yeah.

[door closes]

-I don't want her in here.
-Huh?

She threatened my wife.

What?

[inaudible speech]

Evert was recording their phone calls.
I heard it with my own ears.

She said she wanted to k*ll Hanneke.

[exhales] Well, do the police know?

-[tense music playing]
-You told them right?

The tapes were never found.

The… The phone was lost in the blaze.
I can't prove anything.

[Karen sighs]

[Karen] Wait, so you think
Babette pushed Hanneke

and you didn't say anything?

Why not?

[Ivo sighs]

-[music fades]
-[Ivo sniffles]

I really do love Hanneke.

A… And it's my fault
I nearly f*cking lost her.

[breathes deeply] And, Evert, my God.

And Evert… what?

[Ivo sniffles]

Evert came by
just before the fire happened.

[cell phone buzzing]

[Hanneke] Just throw it against it.
Just like that.

[Anne] It's so sticky.

We can just give this one to Grandma.

-[Anne] Yeah.
-[Hanneke] It's really… Oh.

-[Anne] Yeah, we can't, it's very…
-[Hanneke] No, maybe…

-[Anne] We're getting somewhere.
-[cell phone buzzing]

-[Hanneke] More.
-[Anne] Dad, you can't tell.

-[Hanneke] Can you do mine too?
-[Anne] Yeah.

-Not too wet, guys.
-[Hanneke] Maybe just…

-Oh, it's a little wet, yeah.
-[cell phone buzzes]

-[Hanneke] Well…
-Did you salt it too?

-[Anne] Uh, did you do that?
-[Hanneke] No, I didn't.

-A pinch would be… better.
-[Anne] Okay, Dad.

Oh.

It's holding well now.

[doorbell chimes]

Oh. [sighs]

Can you get it? Thank you, hon.

[exhales] You're not picking up, huh?

I need to talk to you.

Babette is completely losing it, Ivo.

Does she know
you're talking to me? Babette?

Listen, she said
I might never see my boys ever again.

A… And then I flipped out
and… and sent a message and…

Oh, f*ck.

[Evert sighs]

Now she wants to talk.

And I don't know what to do.

-[Ivo] O… Okay. Have you been drinking?
-[Evert] What?

-No.
-Maybe it would be better to go home.

[somber music playing]

What is it? Has she said anything to you?

No. No, but I am just here
with my family, baking bread with Anne.

I just… We can't keep taking sides
in your arguments, okay?

This is between you and Babette.

Sorry.

Just go back to the house, okay?
I'll be in touch.

[door closes]

[breathing shakily]

I should have stopped him that night.

[music stops]

[breathes shakily]
I was just petrified Babette…

That she'd tell Hanneke everything.

[inhales] That fear.

A lifetime of it.

[Ivo inhales]

At some point, you've let so many chances
to be honest slide that it's too late,

and… you can't tell what's true.

No, Ivo.

And she never suspected?

-I mean, Hanneke…
-Han…

I always thought she would.

Not that she rummaged through my stuff,

but I was always worried
she'd find my second phone.

[gasps] You have a whole other phone?

Yeah, I… I needed
to keep this deception going.

There was a phone. And a VPN.

-[suspenseful music playing]
-A second email address.

-A whole double life.
-Sorry.

-Sorry, I have to leave.
-What is it?

[Karen] Sorry, Ivo. Sorry!

[unlocks car]

sh*t.

-[music fades]
-Okay.

SWIPE UP FOR FACE ID
OR INPUT CODE

[exhales]

-Have a seat.
-Thank you.

[Martine exhales]

Okay.

What's going on with Babette?

I think she hurt my wife.

[tense music playing]

I think Babette pushed Hanneke.

[breathing shakily]

Okay.

ALL RECORDINGS

[Evert] Test, test, test.

Test, test, test.

[cell phone dings]

[Evert] Test, test, test.
Test, test, test.

[breathes deeply]

-[music fades]
-[exhales]

[Babette] Hey, come in.

[Evert] Hey, yeah, you wanted to talk?

-[Babette] Tea?
-[Evert] Yeah, please.

[water running]

[quiet beep]

[Evert sniffs]

Can I have your phone?

That way, we can speak privately.

Um…

I, um, was really shocked by your message.

[Evert] If you think
you can take my kids away from me,

you're even sicker, sicker than I thought.

Do you think I'd leave them
with a sick, twisted psycho like you?

I swear to you,
you will never get the kids.

I will destroy you, Babette.

I will completely destroy you!

-I shouldn't have made you feel--
-You have to stop making these threats.

I don't want to fight you.

I'm doing this for me.

And for you.

Sweetheart, we're ruining each other.

This isn't healthy.
Especially for the boys.

The boys need their parents together.

Not with our problems.

But we belong together.

All these years,
do you know how special that is?

Without each other, we're… we're nothing.

Without me, uh, baby, you're nothing.

Evert?

Hey.

Just stop this. Hey.

You can't leave.

[uneasy music playing]

[kettle whistling]

Luuk wanted to see if you would
find a story to read with him.

[kettle continues whistling]

[kettle whistling fades]

[Evert] "The moon was still."

"So still that, for a moment,

it seemed as if they were
the only two bears in the universe."

"'Ready?' asked Big Bear."

"Little Brother raised his paw."

"'Yeah.'"

"'Three, two, one. And we're off.'"

Son.

-Papa?
-Yeah?

Could we maybe come live with you?

It's gonna be okay.

[Babette] Here, sweetheart.
I put some honey in.

Okay.

Have a big sip.

Okay, finish your cup
and I'll come get it when you're done.

[spits]

[breathes shakily]

[music fades]

-[Luuk] Let's play soccer.
-[Beau] Yeah! Come on. Wanna be in goal?

[boys giggle]

That's my goal.

[boys giggle]

-[Babette] Can you pour?
-Yeah.

-[Babette] I'll go check on the boys.
-[Evert] Okay.

[liquid pouring on recording]

[somber music playing]

[music fades]

I'm giving you one chance.

-One last chance to change your mind.
-[sighs]

I can't anymore.

[tense music playing]

I'm sorry.

-So, you're leaving me for another woman?
-No. There's nothing…

This is not about Hanneke.
This is about you and me.

-This is about us.
-I… But…

Why do you keep lying?

[Evert sighs]

[Hanneke] Hey, Ev, it's me.

Uh, just quickly, regarding Babette.

You really need to get rid of that woman.

-And I'm gonna help you.
-You tried to make this my fault.

Like I was crazy. But I always knew.

[Hanneke] Hey, Ev, it's me.

Uh, just quickly, regarding Babette.

-Babette! Um, um…
-[Hanneke] Get rid of that woman.

And I'm gonna help you.

[Evert] Babette.

[Evert groans]

Babette?

[Evert groans]

What… [groans]

What am I… [wheezes]

Babette?

[ominous music playing]

Wait. What are you doing?

[Evert groans]

[Babette] I'm not giving up on you, Evert.

We belong together.

And we made a promise.

We did, Ev.

I'm gonna make it right again.

And we will be together. Always.

[Evert wheezes]

[Evert] What are you doing?

Wait! Stop!

[Evert wheezing]

What are you doing?

What are you… [grunts]

[flames roar]

[somber music playing]

[Evert wheezes]

I love you, sweetheart.

I'll see you soon.

No! Please, no. Don't. Beau!

No! Stop! Stop, Beau. Stop!

Beau! Stop.

Go away! Go away. Go. No, no, no. [sobs]

-[Luuk] Goal!

You can't get this one. No way!

Dad, wake up, please!

Dad?

Dada? [strains]

[Michel groans] No! Jesus.

[Hanneke] Ev!

[Hanneke sobs] No.

[siren wails]

-[Patricia] No!
-[Hanneke] No, please!

[sobbing on recording]

[music fades]

-[Babette] It was an accident.
-[gasps]

I wasn't trying to…

I didn't really mean it.

I was just trying to scare him.

Karen, he wasn't acting like himself.
You understand that, right?

[exhales]

It was a mistake.

Give me the phone.

You wanted us to leave, right?

Give me the phone and we'll leave.

What have you done?

What did you do to Hanneke?

No!

[dramatic music playing]

[door rattles]

Kare. Kare! I didn't hurt Hanneke.

I didn't. You have to believe me.

[Babette grunts]

[Karen shrieks]

[Babette grunts]

[Karen grunts]

[Karen grunts]

Listen to me! I would never lie. Never.

Not to you.

I need you to believe me. Huh?

[Babette strains]

You have to believe me.

[grunts]

[tense music playing]

Beau. Call the--

[Karen shrieks]

[Karen groans]

[breathes shakily]

Beau. Give the phone to Mama, Beau.

[flesh squelches]

Honey, give me… Come give me the phone.

Give it here.

[Karen groans]

[Babette] Beau.

Give Mommy the phone.

I…

[dramatic music playing]

Beau!

No!

[Karen groans]

[groans]

[Karen groaning]

[groans]

[metallic rasp]

[music fades]

Give me the cell phone.

[tense music playing]

-[Karen breathes shakily]
-[Babette] Give it to me!

Give me the cell phone!

[Martine] Babette! Put down the knife.

[cop] Police!

[Babette breathes shakily]

Put your hands up.

[Martine] Drop the knife.

[breathes shakily]

Babette, let it go!

[haunting music playing]

[Martine] Drop it.

[knife clatters]

[exhales]

[Karen whimpers]

[sighs]

[music fades]

[indistinct chatter]

-[Sophie] But Dad said I could have a dog.
-[Karen] Oh, did he now?

And where will the dog live? With Ivo?

No. No, with us. Once Papa gets home.

Is that right?

Maybe you should speak to him yourself?

-[Karen] Smart-a*s.
-[giggles]

-[Karen] Want me to come with you?
-No, I'll be fine.

Bye, Mom!

[uneasy music playing]

[music fades]

[Carola] A neighbor saw you
drive away that night.

So, you lied?

I've explained this already.

I've made mistakes. I've admitted that.
But I didn't push Hanneke that night.

It doesn't matter what I say.

You won't believe it.

[Karen] Apparently, they're allowed
to wait for the case results at home.

Lack of evidence.

And for the money laundering,
he'll just weasel out with a fine.

You know Simon.

Miche and I are having, uh, a coffee date.

What do you think?

Will it be all right?

Exactly.

You're always right.

And I will tell you all of it.

As long as you come back.

Okay?

Just please…

I miss you.

[Karen sighs]

Han?

Han, can you hear my voice?

Han, if you can hear me,
squeeze my hand, okay?
