Do not rush.

Vermeer,

I need to change.

Miss, pardon my curiosity

but it is extremely rare...

Mr. van Zalen invites a lady to his home.

May I take courage and ask

you:
How did you meet?

In a travel agency.

Travel agency?

Jacob going to travel?

You do not know?

Usually do.

I run his whole life.

Then you will no doubt be informed.

The apple is a symbol for the

generosity of nature...

Dagger warns of the dangers of abundance.

The burden of wealth.

I'm waiting for Jacob.

His dance partner?

Ana... Ana de Koning.

Kornald Miller, a former

foreman.

I lived here,

& Now it's being sold.

If you are disturbed... -

No, please stay.

May I introduce you to:

Old, Jakob van de Vit

Zalen, Knight of the Order of the Crown.

The wife Rebekah gave birth

his 12 sons.

Seven were here.

Who is the mother of Jacob ?

Elizabeth.

Pastor units.

Teacher by profession.

She was beautiful.

- Were unhappy in love.

I thought she would never marry.

She was almost 40 when she met this man.

Rather it was a struggle, but when they surrendered...

Were the happiest couple

lived in this house.

Tale, beautiful

to be true.

I could not believe. Mr. van Zalen

is having an affair.

You see, I knew.

More, he was not a lover.

Van Zalen was a sailor.

He made this yacht...

with his son

traveling around the world.

Jacob then were four years old.

He was clever and enterprising...

So he waited for this trip.

One day, his father

sailed out to check kernel.

After that,

nobody saw him or yacht.

And Jakob?

Ever since his father disappeared, never

no longer laughing nor crying.

36 years I never saw him angry or sad

Alive

But the child is closed into himself.

Mother tried in various ways

to help him.

Psychiatrists, doctors...

Bought him fast cars,

diving, hiking.

All, hoping that it can regain

his spirit of life.

What about the women?

Suffice it to say that all attempts from

his mother...

Had not awaken the passion of

Mr. Van Alen.

Interesting is lady?

Ms. Koning.

Charming.

I have not met anyone like her.

She told me that you are travelling?

- We will travel.

And how far are you planning?

- I do not know, she thinks that to a new level.

On a higher level, Vermire.

Here comes Mr. van Zalen

I am Julia Borsuk.

These ladies are my associates.

We are glad to meet you.

I'm pleased to meet you as well, Mrs. Borsuk.

- To you only Julia.

If you give me One moment, Juliet.

He is wonderful.

See, I have something to take care .

Can we reduce the formalities?

- Of course we can.

Mr. Van Zalen,

please.

Vermire, have yoy informed Mr. Van Zalen

about Mrs. Borsuk's plans

for the estate?

Of course it is...

And tell me aren't you

such excited as we are.

Vermire how did you so eloquently described

the plans again?

Well , it's going to be ....

In your special honor we ladies has decided ...

to call it The Van Zalen Life Extension Centre

Being a health care centre with cosmetic surgery.

A latest therapy for skin rejuvenation

G. van Zalen told me he is

very excited by his vision.

How much rejuvenation do you want ?

What did he say?

G. van Zalen was joking of course

he loves your ideas.

Of course, I do.

So, it's done.

- Not really.

As of now, you ladies will be given 48 hours to check...

If the state meets all the specification.

During which time, Mr.

van Zalen may still refuse...

For any reason what so ever.

- 48 hours, is that necessary?

It's just a technicality, isn't it, Mr Devise?

I'm sure it will work out fine.

Of course it wil, by noon day after tomorrow

everybody will be happy.

Ana,

And they all will be sold?

What a pity.

You might ride

if you please.

Can I

I drive?

This is a very temperamental lady.

495 horses. From 0 to 100 in 4.3 seconds

You are a true connoisseur.

I grew up with brothers.

Knowing

cars was the only way for a little attention.

The clutch is...

Very good man

your Miler.

an excellent worker too...

I feel that it he is a little sore.

When I was born my mother is

hired a nanny, Alina.

Miler

fell in love with her and married her.

Later became head of the household.

She died last winter.

I felt that.....

He misses her.

If you know that tomorrow will be

the last day of this world...

What would you like to do

today?

Today I wolul go to the restaurant

where we had lunch yesterday.

In order to dance?

Yes.

Can I go with you?

Will you dance with me

Yes.

But I'm not very good at it.

Muller!

Jakobi,

Excellent.

for a minute or two?

I No longer live here.

Yes, exactly.

The new owners will enjoy watching these

when nicely pruned...

... Roses.

There is no tomorrow...

Didn't I tell you It is already sold?

Yes.

I'll go see if I can

make something warm.

Do you know what will happen to my roses?

I think they will build a sauna,

hot tub or something here.

Here in my garden?

Miller, do you remember when you

met her for the first time?

Alinu?

Yes, of course.

Now for you...

is that special?

Absolutely.

At this moment?

You can turn on the furnace.

What did you feel?

I felt something I couldn't understand.

Miller, there is something going on with me lately.

Yesterday I was almost run over by a truck.

But strange thing is that

in the last minute...

Just before impact...

I felt something.

Something inside.

It's not as tasty as

Alina's soup or warm.

Her soup

I have long eaten.

were you scared?

This is the strangest.

You may be afraid of

something to lose?

That's good.

Leave a message after the tone.

. - Vermire, van Zalen...

Include Miller in

the contract on the sale of the house...

And that his garden won't be a hot tub

or the contract is canceled.

Please immediately inform them

-Goodnight.

Oh , an Old Range Rover.

Simple but necessary.

Ready to dance?

If you do not mind,

we need to stop by somewhere else first.

Ana, I think it's time

to act.

We?

Yes, the two of us.

We can not do this anymore.

No!

No, it's time to move.

For too long we have been waiting for.

I'm going to remind them of

the contract.

Not next week, not tomorrow

now.

Seeking disposal!

I beg your perdon?

I would like to delay the journey

call it off for a while, Just temporarily

Couple of weeks,2-3 months. Half a Year,

Who knows, Just push it back a litttle

That's a good one. You almost had me fooled.

For a moment I think you was serious

I am!

No, you are not

You are just confused.

Do'nt worry.

this happens sometimes

For some clients, the prospect of travelling can lead to

all sorts of emotional turmoil.

Let me assure you, this is just a temporary phase

That's exactly why I want to delay..

It's not possible.

Yes, it is, name your price.

Mr. van Alen,

it's not a matter of money.

Sadly, we are forced to conduct our

business outside the law.

I can't afford any loose ends.

That could ultimately jeapordise our vary existence.

Do you understand?
