["w*r" by Brutus playing]

Our world

It's gone

Did we ever grieve or cry?

No

[Alex] Lou!

[yells]

I came for help

- [Melissa] Are you okay? Jacques?

- Hey, Jacques.

- Jacques?

- [Melissa] Can you hear us?

Jacques, are you there?

my hair out

Unleash your w*r

Help! Somebody, help!

It will be okay. Help!

Help!

Stretcher, quickly.

Can you hear me?

Unleash your w*r

[doctor] Shallow breathing.

Pulse is weak.

This time again

Rea two.

After all of this we have no more

[doctor] Prepare oxygen.

EMERGENCY

Monitor.

Saturation is at 80 percent.

- What did she take?

- Alcohol and MDMA.

- Saturation 70 percent.

- Or coke, I think.

- You think?

- 60 percent.

I don't know, I wasn't there.

It was a hen party.

- Escort him to the waiting room.

- Patient stopped breathing.

Come with me to the waiting room.

- Intubate.

- Intubating.

[monitors beeping]

[waves crashing]

[woman]

These are his papers. His identity card.

- You can wait over there. All the best.

- Thank you.

PATIENT REGISTRATION

Alex?

- I'll go get some coffee.

- Okay.

Louise

What's up with Louise?

She's in a coma. She ODed.

I should've known, but I was only

concerned with that f*cking club.

She ODed? How?

At Emilie's bachelorette.

I thought she was with you.

- I found her in the rising tide.

- [Angelique] Alex?

An overdose?

[exclaims]

[Alex] Sorry.

- Did you talk to Emilie?

- Straight to voicemail.

[she sighs]

- Take a seat.

- [Angelique] Emilie, this is Mom again.

Where are you?

Please call me back, it's urgent.

And?

- She's stable.

- [Angelique] That's good, right?

It's neither good nor bad, it's nothing.

We're not out of the woods.

Now you've gone too far. I was ashamed

of you already, but now you make me sick!

- Patrick.

- That's entirely mutual.

How dare you speak?! I've known for years

you're not to be trusted!

But to stuff a girl

with a bipolar disorder full of drugs?!

- as*h*le!

- Patrick!

Patrick!

Alex wasn't there. He just found her.

Thanks to him Louise is still alive.

Yeah.

Now you're at a loss for words.

Dad. At least say you're sorry.

That's not going to happen with your dad.

Sorry.

- Melissa!

- Hey, sweetie.

Shouldn't you be in bed? Daan.

What's wrong?

- Our

- Our daughter is in the ICU.

Louise took an overdose.

[Olivia] What does that mean?

[Melissa] That you took too many pills.

[Olivia] Are they pumping her stomach?

Mm-hmm.

Sorry.

Excuse me?

I'm sorry.

I assessed the situation wrongly. Sorry.

Yeah. Erm, she's out of danger.

Her temperature was dropping, but after

administering oxygen her saturation is up.

[Angelique] Oh, Maxime.

Jan.

[Jan] Thanks, Paul.

- Merci.

- Guys

[Angelique] I'm calling Emilie.

[Jacques] There he is.

- That was you, right?

- [Patrick] What?

Right, loudmouth?

"as*h*le, as*h*le!"

You're looking spiffy.

Is that your business partner?

- Boozer.

- Are you talking about me?

Yes, I'm talking about you.

Clear out, or you can visit the ER again.

Don't you agree

that his nose is a bit crooked?

[Patrick yells]

- Please

- Take her home.

Better, much better.

- Who's the as*h*le now?

- Jacques.

[Jacques] Come, Dani. It was about time.

Prick.

- [Angelique] Put your head back.

- [Patrick] Yeah, yeah.

[Angelique] I have your keys.

[melancholy piano music]

[monitor beeping]

[breathing apparatus working]

[chuckles gently]

[Angelique sighs]

[gasps]

What is it?

- [sobbing] Daddy

- Hey

Daddy and Alex hate each other.

- No. No, they don't. Shh.

- Yes, they do.

[Melissa] How about you sleep with me?

Yes? Okay, come on.

I wish Daddy were dead.

- [Jan] That's her stuff, probably.

- [Angelique] Her cell phone, I think.

- Here you are.

- Thank you.

[sniffs]

[seagulls calling]

[she sighs]

Hey.

What's up with Patrick and Alex?

And what about Patrick and Jacques?

And with you and Paul?

I wasn't thinking.

You should've seen Eleonore's face.

[scoffs]

[monitor beeps loudly]

Sweetie?

Sweetie.

Oh, sweetie.

- [Louise] I'm scared.

- [Angelique] It's okay.

- Daddy's here.

- [Angelique] Mommy and Daddy are here.

It's okay.

[doctors muttering]

It's okay.

[Angelique sobbing]

Hey, sweetie.

It's okay.

Alex, she's awake.

You can't visit her right now,

only when she's a bit better.

Okay.

- A psychiatric ward, again?

- It's not a closed ward.

We have the top neurologists,

psychiatrists and social workers.

That's the best spot for her.

If you think it's best for her, okay then.

Do you want to have

the dealer investigated?

No, Paul. Really. No.

- Leave the police out of this. Please.

- I thought as much.

[Angelique] Okay.

Thanks.

- Naturally.

- For everything.

Shall we join our oldest?

At least she's well-behaved.

[door closing, footsteps]

[they both sigh]

- What is all this?

- Call the cleaning lady.

- And a cab.

- Oh.

Their parents will be pleased.

That's Mirjam's daughter.

- Mirjam?

- Zegers.

Mirjam Zegers? Doesn't ring a bell.

The minister.

Emilie?

- Emilie.

- [clears his throat]

f*ck.

What's all that?

I didn't know how to tell you.

Is that

[Melissa] Yes, here I come. [roars]

[upbeat music playing]

- I win.

- Yes.

[Olivia] Hi, Mommy.

- I'm taking a shower.

- Very good, sweetie.

Here you go.

- What a mess last night.

- Indeed.

- Olivia was very upset.

- I can imagine.

She seems all grown up,

but she's still so young.

- And sensitive.

- I know, I'm her mom, after all.

And then Jacques.

I understand it, because I know

the background. But I think

You don't do that in front of the kids.

She is most upset

about her father and brother arguing.

That made her really sad.

Rosé wine?

I'm still responsible

for your lovely daughter.

We're in Knokke and you're on leave.

- Okay.

- [chuckles]

I'll check up on her anyway.

And I'm taking a shower.

[Emilie] I didn't notice a thing.

[emotional] She was so sweet and happy.

She was walking around cheerfully.

- It was a great party.

- [Angelique] No doubt.

It's a pigsty, Emilie.

At first glance

nothing seems to be broken.

Mom, I'm sorry.

Everyone was f*cking drunk.

Jacques, he admitted he was wrong

and he said sorry.

For the first time in his life.

And you believe that?

I give him the benefit of the doubt.

How can you be so naive, Alexandre?

[phone vibrating]

She can have visitors.

- Give her my love.

- I will.

See you later, Jacques.

Alex. Alex, wait up.

Any news from Louise?

- She's no longer your problem.

- What?

Look

If she'd just taken her pills

then

none of this would've happened.

[unsettling music]

Where's Alex going all of a sudden?

He had to go to the Lulu.

Deliveries or something.

I'm not sure.

[monitors beeping]

Alex.

Shh. Easy, easy.

[sobbing] I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

No apologies, alright?

Sorry.

I was an as*h*le.

I

I neglected you.

sh*t.

Sorry.

Silly.

I'll take good care of you.

I'll take care of you, I promise.

- I love you.

- I love you, too.

I really love you.

["Crushing" by Intergalactic Lovers

playing]

I was waiting anxiously

- For your call to come

- [boys cheering]

For your words to come and reach me

And

Staring forever at this screen

But the right name never lights up

No, your name never lit up

She's in a psychiatric ward.

- Who?

- Louise.

Louise, in a psychiatric ward? sh*t.

to let this go

[nurse] Can I see? Okay.

Recovering from your blow

Our liquid love once blazing

Now just froze

I HOPE YOU'RE DOING ALRIGH

Are we nothing anymore?

[phone chimes]

DAAN: I HOPE YOU'RE DOING ALRIGH

It will get better

Yeah, it will get better

Still I'm counting down the days

It will get easier on me

Once the missing starts to fade

And I don't wanna stay lost

In these memories

I never thought you'd be the one

So bittersweet

[laughter]

And I guess it's time

Alex must make sure she takes her pills.

If you weren't into men,

she'd have made a pass at you.

- [laughter]

- Thank you.

- She didn't try anything with me.

- She's mental, Matti. Not blind.

[laughter]

Our liquid love once blazing

Now just froze

From crush to love to nothing

Are we nothing anymore?

Are we nothing anymore?

[Emilie] Lou?

Hey.

Hi.

Come here.

- Sorry.

- For what?

I messed up everything.

Hey

You didn't mess up anything.

How are you?

sh*t.

This is a prison.

I'm being aired twice a day.

Dad says this is one of the best wards

in the country.

I want out.

And then what?

- I want to do something fun.

- [chuckles]

Hey.

Do you remember when we were little?

We used to go to this fun-fair.

We played a game in which you had

to hit moles on the head with hammers.

Whac-A-Mole.

You hit those moles in the head

really hard, time and again.

Bang, bang, bang.

Until your arm went numb.

Maybe you're one of those moles now.

Maybe life's hitting you

over the head really hard.

But you will always survive.

Do you remember?

Here, take this.

Come, we're leaving.

- Whereto?

- You'll see.

Ready? Go!

[loud arcade machines]

You're really good at this.

How do you do it?

Watch out! [screams]

- Almost. Can I?

- Yes.

[Emilie] Go!

Okay, Lou, look!

I'm doing it.

Check this.

Lou, I'm crushing it!

Lou, check this! I was crushing it!

Oh my god.

Check, I've hit the bonus!

[sinister music]

[breathes heavily]

[machines beeping and coins clattering]

[bang]

[Lou panting]

Lou, are you alright?

Hey

Come, we're going home.

Why does it hurt so much?

Hey

Don't underestimate it.

You went beyond your limits.

It'll be alright,

but you need to give it some time.

I hurt everyone.

Mom, Dad.

You.

Alex, Daan, Margaux.

Everyone I like and who likes me.

You always hurt the ones

nearest to you most.

Why?

You know we'll never abandon you.

[sad piano music]

A bottle of rosé for the bosom buddies.

- Here you are.

- Thank you.

- Enjoy.

- Good stuff.

- Is he drunk?

- I heard he has a slight problem.

- [Margaux] Really? With alcohol?

- Not only that.

- You're kidding.

- Does Jacques snort?

- Terrific.

- He can join Louise in her room.

[laughter]

- Maybe they get a group discount.

- Instead of gossiping you might visit her.

Didn't think of that?

Where the f*ck were you

when she lay half dead in the water?

I forgot, you were completely

out of it yourself. Right, Margaux?

Nice going, Margaux. Really.

Jesus.

[melancholy music]

[Angelique]

We're taking her back tomorrow.

Mom, she's really unhappy there.

- But it's safe.

- Do you still trust her?

Really? Honestly?

I don't know. Someone can stay

with her here, can't they?

Emilie, she can't be alone for one second.

I'm away regularly for work and for Daddy.

I can arrange something.

We could take turns.

I'm here as well.

I don't know.

I don't know.

[light tap]

[another light tap]

[another light tap]

Hey.

- Take the back entrance.

- Okay.

- Hey.

- Hi.

I had to see you.

I, erm

I have to ask you something.

It's been haunting me for some time.

I need to know.

Suppose

you

had taken your pills, as usual

would you have fallen in love with me?

But I wouldn't have given in to it.

So

you were really in love.

I still am.

Are we still something?

[sad piano music]

Did you see it?

- Your money or your life.

- Oh!

Hey.

You're looking good.

Honestly.

I saw Daan.

But I chose you.

I don't want to lose you.

Me neither.

Daan can't be trusted.

Claudia, your previous nanny for Olivia

was Daan's aunt.

What?

Melissa has been searching for her for

two years. That's why she took the job.

It's so f*cked up.

Claudia ran away because she stole

from your family, right?

Jewels worth hundreds of thousands

from my mom.

Erm Hey

I'm sorry, I have work to do.

I'll be back soon.

sh*t.

[dial tone]

f*ck!
