Tell me everything, Alex.

I want to know.

They are the same two boys that robbed you too.

- What do you mean?

They blackmailed me to steal bags for them.

- What?

From old ladies that were just walking down the street.

But how, Alex?

They hit me, kicked me, broke my clarinette...

...and if I told anyone then they'd take it out on you.

So, you haven't told anyone.

You felt very alone in the matter.

There wasn't anyone that you could talk to about it.

My God, Alex what have I done to you.

- No Rose, it's not your fault.

It's time to take action.

- Not his Grandma again?

Have you become chicken?

- No.

- You have.

But we must make Alex realise who is the boss here.

- Yes, you...

- Yes.

Do you think that you dare to tell your mom and dad?

- No!

And if I'm there to help you?

I wouldn't know how to.

It needs to happen, Alex.

- I know it.

I know this sounds strange coming

from me...

...but you need to go to the police.

- Yes, it does sound strange coming from you.

We'll go together, I have something to report also.

I'll get it.

Lucas, Evert!

I know that you're here.

So Alex, I see that you're better again.

That's nice.

And your Grandma is home again also.

Everything is nice tonight, eh Evert?

It was also nice that you phoned to say that you

have some money for us.

We could use a little.

It soon runs out, eh.

Now you can do it this way.

Give us the money now or we go inside...

He's biting your jacket!

Don't stand there looking stupid. He's got

my jacket.

Hurry up man !

Sh*t!

Hey, you need to pay first!

You need to pay!

Evelyn, Evelyn is that you?

It's Alex.

You sound strange.

- I can't explain now, but is your father home?

Yes, he's home. Do you want him?

Can you please ask him to bring the police to the school, this minute?

You are at school now?

- I'm being chased by two boys that have stolen God knows how much.

They're coming. I must hang up.

Where is the bastard now?

Eh, the light went out.

No kidding...

Boy, it's dark in here eh?

You are not going to tell me you are scared?

Where did that come from?

- The gym.

We'll get you Alex, and when we do, you'll be sorry.

- Can't you warn me before you start screaming?

Baby.

Alex wouldn't come here.

He's much too bad at gymnastics.

Why is that important.

He is in here.

ALEX!!!!

Yes, yes, yes. Yes!

Shall we get out of here?

- What are you thinking? I want my jacket back!

I'm going to grab the chicken breast.

Lucas!

Evert!

I'm over here!

Lucas!

Evert!

The janitor's room...

I should have known...

Now you're telling me?

Alex?

I know that you're here, show yourself!

I want my jacket back!

Can you understand why anybody would want a hobby like this?

You must be out of your mind to do this.

You are out of your mind!

Shut your mouth!

- You are so scared, you pooped your pants, Lucas!

Now you know how it feels!

I've never in my life been scared of someone. Never!!!

Lucas, your jacket...

It's a nightmare!

Where are they?

- Who?

The two boys that were chasing you.

Locked up in there.

Come with me.

Alex, open the door. You've had your fun.

It's about time!

Alex?

Alex?

- What's going on here?

You are under arrest.

- That's ridiculous! Are you going to cuff us?

Are you with these boys?

- Yes

- Ok. Follow me then.

He's a thief!

He's a rotten bag thief!

Ok, we have a declaration from Alex.

It details clearly what you've been up to the last couple of weeks.

My son... A criminal...

Alex, what should become of you?

How can you shame us like this?

I don't get it. I don't get it at all!

Is anything of what I said getting through to you

or am I talking to a wall???

What shall the neighbours say?

Precisely. What shall the neighbours think?

Your mom will lose customers when this gets out.

Do you realise you've caused problems for everybody, not only yourself?

- There was nothing I could do about it.

Couldn't do anything about it?

You yellow-belly! You should have acted tougher!

You should have let them know from the start

they can't treat you like that!

But there's not an ounce of courage in you...

What did you just say?

No courage?

Do you dare to say Alex has no courage?

What do you think the boy has been through the last couple of weeks?

He had to go through this by himself!

That's his own fault. If he needed me, I would have

been there for him.

His mother too.

Yes, and I think right now that he needs

you both very much...

I wouldn't have made it without you.

- I think you would have made it. Don't underestimate yourself.

Away!

Alex do you know what you just did?

- Don't say it, Rose!

I'm able to do anything!
