Hope you do not get in trouble because of that.
What will you do?
I have to find work.
Maybe I have something there.
There is a strip club in Ixelles.
They should look for a bouncer.

School bell rings
Police. We have a couple of questions
to the incident in the nightclub.
Would you please come with me?
Door opens
he sniffs you so you say
that you did not hit him, huh?
Is that correct?
Do you know...
I have a 16-year-old son.
I often talk to him.
He comes with theories
about justice...
The world, humanity.
I could always give him a clap.
So he knows how it feels.
And also, to see
if he has the same opinion afterwards.
The father of the type you
is a member of the European Parliament.
He wants,
that we do research.
The company where you worked
weif3 nothing of you.
You live with your daughter.
She is in school
under a wrong last name.
Who are you? Why are you hiding?
So far I only:
Your name is Luke...
you're outrageous
and almost killed a guy.
- What do you want from me?
I do not want one thing: to make you angry.
Possible earlier stupidities
I'm sorry.
Work for me.
Help me,
and I'll take care of your problem.
Hey, I do not work
for the Belgian police.
You call me when it's somewhere
there are major problems in Europe.
I'm supposed to follow a fleming,
who is here to do business.
He probably has to do with counterfeit money.
20 countries want us to take it.
What do I have to do with that?
The guy I'm talking about
Its name is Jan Dekkers.
You hired in his strip club.
Just keep your eyes open
and if you see what, call me.
But I do not care.
I already said it...
You leave me room to maneuver.
I can save you from justice...
or i can you
also putt in:
Your daughter
came into a foster family,
and everything would be recorded.
That's my number, imprint it on you.
If you see something, call.

And where is your mom?
When we were in Africa,

He needs him for the Dutch,
to negotiate with them.
- What is it about?
- I do not know.
- Then bring it in.
- No. I quit.
They kidnapped my daughter,
this goes too far.
OK.
I know,
what you did in South Africa.
Do you know what that means?
If you do not continue,
I'll send you back.
Hey, do you understand?
OK then. This is not a good moment
we need you.
And your daughter too.
Ah. You're back.
Do you know...
I'm sorry about the other day.
Staff are barely available at the moment.
I knew you were doing your job well.
That is a compliment.
I trust you.
Never chase my daughter again.
Promised.
For the inconvenience.
- I do not want to stop yet.
- Ah.
We're up from Wednesday to Sunday.
I want more.
Tomorrow we exchange the crack cook.
Did you get that together with Geert?
romantic piano music in the background
Cart is approaching
You can leave.
Piano music continues
It's OK.

You are not coming out alive here.
They'll kill me...
and then you.

- whimpering no. No.
No.
No!

Lisa screams
Lisa whimpers
silent scene, only pulsating sounds
Hey.
Go inside.
Hm? Go.
- What happened?
- The guy we brought...
tried to escape,
then they started shitting.
Geert shot back.
Scheif3e.
Sarah. Come quickly!
- Goodbye!
- Wiedersehen!
Sarah hums happily in the background
It's me.
- Was you in the parking garage?
They would like a barter.
- What did they want to swap?
- A watermark.
That means,
send a new load.
They change location,
we can not get it.
- Do you have the doubt?
- Sarah humming to herself
No. I risk my life for that.
OK. That's what we're going to do.
Hangs up
Take the crayons calmly.
Will you be gone long?
I do not know.
Hey. Not bad here, right?
Omar is really nice...
And you understand yourself well
with Moussa. Hm?
Listen, I have to
do a few things and...
I promise you,
I'll get you back, right?
Father?
Are you scared?
A little.
I'm not worried about you.
- That's all you need?
- Yes.
You can count on me, brother. Hey!
I'll do it alone.
You paint really nice pictures.
You have talent.
When I saw you for the first time,
Did you beat up half-old guys?
Do you know what I thought?
"The guy is either
totally fucked...
or he survives everything,
because he can adapt to anything. "
What do you think?
I do not know. Some of both.
The two fit together.
Do you understand now what you have to do?
With Lisa?
- Which does not concern me.
- Oh but.
After what you have done for me.
Like it or not.
We soon print banknotes.
And I need you there.
You will take good care of Lisa.
She is
fragile.
Especially after what happened.
If she loses her nerves...
I can not print a single bill.
I'm dead without her.
Do you understand what I mean?
beep
I lived near Crotone.
Do you know that?
It is in southern Italy. A poor area.
But it is by the sea.
I was often
in my father's printing shop.
She was his one and only.
When he died, my mother sat
and me in the Scheif3e.
And since I needed money,
I started
To print counterfeit money.
At the beginning,
to pay off father's debt.
But then I continued.
Do you know what that means?
That means lifelong.
To print counterfeit money here with us
is worse than killing a child.
- Could we have helped Geert?
- No.
If you're involved in something like that,
it always ends badly.
The same goes for you.
What happened to your wife?
A carjacking that went awry.
They killed her.
And did you find the culprits?
The police do not.
But I.
vibrating alert
Can you drive me?
Lukas' fight lull in the background
Nothing, the container was empty.
Jan will leave.
He knows, we are looking for him.
- We still have a chance.
- Which?
Jan has to hurry
to deliver. And...
I think he has already cashed.
You think he's robbing a bank
to become liquid?
Let the girl out of there.
- No, I can not let her go.
I'm talking to her.
Okay good.
Fig / io di puttana.
You whistled us.
- Why did you do that?
- For Sarah, they have me in hand.
- Red no Scheif3.
- That's the truth.
They release you for pressure.
They have nothing against me in the hand!
quieter you know everything you do.
They will not let up.
- Do you trust them?
- I have no choice.
I wanted to protect you.
No no.
You were just trying to protect yourself.
You and your family.
You sacrificed me for that.
sobbing and crying
quietly do you want to end up like Geert?
Do you want it? Honestly?
- I do not know.
- Look at me.
Lisa.
We will make it.
We will make it.
- OK?
- OK.
What do you want here?
I wanted to talk to you.
- We have a big problem.
- How big?
As big as a police raid.
You have Lisa.
Do not worry,
I talked to the lawyer,
they have nothing against them in hand.
- So we have no problem.
- Doch... we have.
We have a lot of pressure.
- Does that mean you want to stop?
- I can not.
We have to print the money.
The people I work for have paid.
Come on... Let's go round.
concludes
You are crazy.
The police were with me and arrested
the girl who works for me.
What does the Gamze have to do with me?
I did not catch a whistle.
It was these Dutchmen
with whom you have worked.
No, they would never do that.
I see it that way...
The transaction went awry,
and the Dutch
wanted to take revenge on me.
If they wanted that,
they would not have sent any bulls.
Wait, wait Wait...
Maybe it was the little one too.
- No.
- Why are you so sure?
She knew we would
to get that stuff somewhere else.
Maybe he was?
That gentleman there... has become
My hands got dirty for me.
Do you see?
As soon as there is doubt... it's over.
Sarah Are we giving away?
- I do not know.
- When are you coming back?
Soon, Sarah.
Promised.
Sarah?
I love you, dad.
