Don't you think?

Yes, sure.

I'll get that necklace.

Get a little closer, why don't you.

Shut your gob, I can't focus.

-Yeah, that's it. Here.

R0? A word?

-Not now.

It's about Bonnie.

-I know I was wrong, Fleur.

Do you need an apology, too?

-That's not it.

That's how it's done.

She's a hooker.

-What?

She's an escort. I knew it.

-From Bonnie's make-up bag.

And you banging on about true love.

What's the plan?

-Go to dad. Once he hears this...

There's no point. You've seen him.

He's besotted with her.

Dreamgirls Escort, hello.

-Hello.

This is Benjamin Se...venhuizen.

I wondered, does Bonnie still work there?

Who, did you say?

-Bonnie.

Bonnie quit recently.

But we have lots of ladies

of the same type, for the same fee.

No, no need.

-Wait. ls there nothing you can do?

I can offer you a discount.

-No need for that.

We have this client, from China. A major

client that we want to keep happy.

Yes, I understand.

-He only wants Bonnie, no-one else will do.

Yes, but Bonnie...

-it's just for one night.

It would be worth a lot to us.

He's very important.

Alright. Come to the hotel Royal,

room number 310.

Alright, people, ready?

-Stick it in the right hole.

Darling, isn't this just wow?

-Certainly. Very wow.

It's just like Disneyland.

Hello, Cinderella.

Which fairy godmother enchanted you?

That was no fairy godmother,

it was the evil stepmother.

Sorry.

Excuse me, I have to take this.

So, what do you think?

-Very festive.

Lovely.

-It just puts a smile on your face.

Excuse me.

-I'd like a bite out of that.

And I don't mean the food.

Sorry, they're a bit lively.

Bad news?

-Yes, sorry. I have to step out for a bit.

Tonight?

-Yes. It's important.

A friend. She's having trouble

with her boyfriend.

I asked her to meet up some other time,

but she sounded so desperate.

Do you mind?

-I can share you for one night.

You know, I thought

we could step out for a bit, too.

Us?

I was talking to Benjamin, and we feel it's

the tradition on the eve of your wedding.

Bachelors.

Thumper, did you get that? Bachelor party.

It was meant to be family only.

Are you saying we're not family?

I don't think you meant that.

That's right.

Tonight, you are getting shitfaced.

Bachelor party.

Good evening.

-Good evening.

Julian? Can you repeat that?

-He'll take care of it.

Yes, a party. With my family. That's right.

Look at the arse on that.

Need some binoculars, captain?

Sh*t.

No news is good news, trust me.

They'll definitely go for it.

Stay positive. Go hard or...

Exactly. I'll talk to you on Monday.

Sir? You forgot something.

Did Fleur call?

How long could it take?

It'll be okay.

-Easy for you to say.

Hey, brother. Got any more cash for me?

-I just gave you some.

For the old man. For a lap dance.

-He's just had a heart attack.

If he can handle Bonnie,

this should be fine too.

I've missed this so much.

-We were hoping you'd enjoy yourself.

I mean us. Together. That's what I missed.

Us too, dad.

-You mean it?

Of course.

I want you to know

that I'm here for you now.

I think your mother would be so happy

if she could see us now.

It never ends, does it?

R0, there's something I wanted to ask you.

Bit of a strange time to do this,

but I need a best man.

Would you be my best man?

-But... What about Benjamin?

I love my children equally, but I wouldn't

trust Ben with my stamp collection.

You're the eldest.

That means you're always the favourite.

You have a strange way of showing it.

I'm hard on you because I believe in you.

I don't expect as much from Benjamin.

I see myself in you.

Maybe more than I'd care to admit.

Well? Is she there?

-Yes, I think so.

What do you mean? You followed her, right?

-Yes, she's here.

What do you say, dad?

Shall we call it a night?

Come on. The party's just begun.

He's right, we should go.

Tomorrow is a big day.

You're welcome to stay.

I may have some cash.

No, we went out together,

we'll go home together.

Bye, Debbie. Let's go.

If my cardiologist had seen me,

his heart would stop on the spot.

R0, we're going straight home now, right?

Well, dad. We need to make one more stop.

Guys, this is just too much.

It's like I told you.

You are getting shitfaced tonight.

I don't know what you've got planned,

but I'm sleeping at home.

Fleur?

-Salinda, dad.

What are you doing here?

-Come along.

Dad, you know that whatever happens,

we'll be here for you, right?

What's this?

-You should know something. About Bonnie.

What do you mean? What's wrong?

-She isn't who she claims to be.

What?

-She's a hooker.

Oi, that's my f***ing sister.

I thought you were going to stop this.

-It's true. She works at an escort service.

See for yourself. She's here.

Go on.

Bonnie?

You're not Bonnie.

-I'm whoever you want me to be.

We asked for Bonnie.

-Sorry, love. No Bonnie at our agency.

God dammit, Roderick.

-She does work there.

Fleur saw her go in. Right?

-Well, I felt that she was here, but...

I knew you were capable of a lot, but this?

Any name is fine with me.

Listen, she is an escort.

Look, she had this on her.

Listen up, motherf***er. If you call my sis

a whore one more time, you lose your teeth.

What's his deal? God.

You're back early. Didn't you have fun?

No, it was great.

How about you? How's your friend?

Well, that guy is just an arsehole.

I'm so lucky to have a sweet man like you.

Go on upstairs, love. I'll be right up.

Take care.

I wanted a fresh start, for all of us.

Instead of being happy for me,

you only care about yourselves.

That's not true.

You say Bonnie is a gold digger,

but the real gold diggers are you people.

I want you to leave. All of you.

Come on, dad.

-But we're family.

Not from what I've seen.

Where's the rest?

-We're staying. For the wedding.

So we'll be out of your hair.

I thought you were on a family weekend?

-Well, work comes first, right?

I thought I'd send them some more info.

-No need.

No? You think they'll do it anyway?

They called. They're not interested.

What?

-The deal. It's off.

What's this?

I'm getting out, R0.

That's a letter from my legal advisor.

He's going to reclaim my investment

on the grounds of mismanagement.

Really?

Well, I don't accept.

-it's not a resignation.

I thought:
Severijn, I can't go wrong.

Jesus, was I wrong.

Jesus,Julian.

Go hard or go broke... Julian.

Hello, I'm here to see Mr Capteijn.

-Sorry. Mister not home.

Party little Anneke.

Yes, but I come for the party.

My kids are waiting.

I forgot where it is.

Salinda.

-Master.

How did it go?

-lpassed.

It was hard, but in the end, I passed.

What are you on about?

The test.

-Test?

I understand now. You were testing me.

-Right.

And to be honest, I almost didn't make it.

Fell for the material, I almost went back

to my old, empty existence.

But I didn't. I made it.

I said no to the inheritance. I don't want

the money. And I feel free, thanks to you.

My god, Fleur.

-Salinda.
