Black Rider Page #3

It's going too far, Milou.

He's involved in a murder case now.

No, he's not involved.

That's what I'm here to tell you.

Do you think I'm an idiot,

Milou?

We were in the Resistance during

the war.

And now you act as if there's a secret

brotherhood I'm not part of.

Was I in the Resistance with you?

Where were you during

the liberation then?

When they dragged me out of my house

to shave my hair off?

All those great countrymen who

didn't do anything for four years.

Where were you?

You were too busy showing off

your English uniform.

You were too busy trying to shake

hands with Prince Bernhard.

You had forgotten all about me.

But Fons arrived in his jeep.

He took me away from all

those people.

I've never known this, Milou.

There's a lot you don't know.

You always knew the difference

between good and bad.

You still do.

Well, I'm not so sure.

But if I have to choose for or

against Fons Ruiter...

then I know exactly what to do.

A bit of fresh air won't hurt here.

Finally we can talk to you,

Mr Ruiter.

We've tried hard to contact you,

Mr Ruiter.

We were just talking about you.

Everybody's looking for you.

Customs, Belgian police,

Milou, we.

I don't like to work for you.

But why on earth not?

-I'm not ugly enough.

But we can make you a great offer.

-I don't have a choice.

You don't think highly of us.

-But we do think highly of you.

Let's talk business.

Alright, I want to be paid in dollars.

You don't find me attractive anymore.

But you used to.

You couldn't keep your hands

off me.

I'm not fed up with Milou.

I'm fed up with Chez Milou.

If you'd give that up, I might stay

with you.

How can I give it up?

I can't do anything else.

That damned war turned me into

a madam.

You were there and you lived well

off it.

That's true, but it won't stay

that way, Milou.

That joint goes or I go.

I'll use a high gear ratio and towards

the end, I'll take the lead.

If you stay behind me,

you can win the sprint.

That's true, Floor's the sharpest

of them all.

But Wies has a sharper tongue.

He's not so sharp when it comes

to buying rounds.

That's because you always beat

me to it.

You're the sharpest at serving

us rounds.

Ladies and gentlemen,

it's a big honour...

that I've been asked as chairman

of the jury.

I don't know anything about

cycling.

I'll leave that to the officials.

Please give them a hand.

Nothing can happen, all the smugglers

are participating in the race.

Nothing can happen, all the smugglers

are participating in the race.

Where's Fons Ruiter then?

I think I'll do the rounds as well.

Our charming podium girl Liza Uzerman

will now kiss the winner!

You were ahead and you should

have stayed ahead.

I tried but I didn't have the power.

I had bad legs!

They overtook us in the bend.

I tried to keep up with them.

You were riding like a loser.

Did you think we were all

Wim Van Est?

When Wim Van Est shits,

you're not even allowed to smell it.

"He was a smuggler

in the deep of the night."

"He made sure his contraband

crossed the border alright."

Open it.

It's an advance, but it's enough

to pay for our trip.

Around the world?

To a warm, exotic country.

Trust me.

Is it dangerous?

It looks dangerous.

You promised to help me.

That you'd do one more thing

for me.

Yes, deal.

Go to your father tomorrow and

tell him there are weapons...

at wharf 13 in Antwerp.

There are weapons at wharf 13

in Antwerp.

Tell him that.

Just that.

And not before tomorrow.

If anything happens to me...

If they catch me tonight...

With weapons.

-then you keep this money.

Until you hear from me.

I don't need any scouts tonight.

-Why not, Ruiter?

We've already lost the race today.

-We're here to make a bit of money.

It's for your own good that

I don't want you there.

This is the customs police.

-Get out through the back door!

Surrender!

Surrender, you're surrounded!

You don't have a chance.

Come out without using any violence.

We know it's you, Ruiter.

Don't shoot!

I guess you understand you're

screwed.

Why didn't you leave me alone,

idiot?

And let you get away with those

weapons?

I was going to give those weapons

to you.

I took them before you had

the chance.

I couldn't know that.

-That's true.

Just like I couldn't know you were

hanging out with my daughter.

So that's behind this.

I don't want to see my daughter end

up with a pimp.

As if an over-achieving customs man

is any better.

There are more important things to

life than a white Cadillac.

So I'll charge you with arms

smuggling.

That's no small beer,

as the Belgians would say.

What do the Belgians have to do with it?

-They'll turn it into a big case.

We'll hear witnesses,

together with the Belgians.

A confrontation?

-I'll get to the bottom of this.

So you'll really hang, Fons.

What do I owe that to, Rinus?

You should have kept your hands off

my daughter.

Your mother and I did everything

for you!

Nothing was good enough for you.

And then you sleep with that a**hole!

Father, he's your best friend.

-He was my best friend.

I want to see him one more time.

That's not too much to ask.

He'll want to see you too.

-That's very convenient then.

Did you think it was that easy?

Marloes, I have to go away

for an hour.

Good that you came.

I'm sure he'd like to see you.

You knew she was here.

-I hate it as much as you do.

Who are you after?

Me, yourself or your daughter?

I'm after him.

And I want a confrontation.

A confrontation?

-Yes.

Together with the Belgians?

You've been hunting him like a ferret.

You were lucky to get him.

But now I've got him!

I'm charging him with arms smuggling.

What do you say to that?

Ruiter never wanted to have anything

to do with arms.

But he was caught with them.

Explain that to me.

-He's my man.

I don't have to explain anything.

You're a big a**hole!

I'll never forget what you've done

to me!

She's kind of right.

Rozeke feels at home here.

She's doing very well at school.

She must have had a good teacher.

I understand what you want,

but I don't agree.

Rozeke, hello sweetie.

You can come with mummy.

-But I was already asleep.

You can sleep more in the car.

I'll always live here, won't I?

-Of course, we'll look after you.

Where are you going, mummy?

-To see daddy, darling.

Will you be good when I'm gone?

Promise me something, Fieneke.

If anything strange happens,

will you look after Rozeke?

We found Fons Ruiter to be the

driver of the car.

We arrested him on suspicion of

illegally supplying butter to Belgians.

Upon inspection of the truck...

...attempted murder or manslaughter

of two Belgian gendarmes.

It heals very fast.

We can't go back to the Netherlands

for a while.

Not until they've forgotten

everything.

And in the meantime we travel

around the world.

But we need money to do that.

Passports.

We need passports

How did you do that?

I found them.

-Yeah, right.

You'll be a good smuggler one day.
