At 12 he gets up early, bravo

Grown-ups respect him surely

Like him, though

There aren't many, you know

He starts rapping

And gradually slapping

What does he do with is life?

What is it like?

That is it, Momo is 18

He's not called Momo

But delinquent and mean

It's a shame that he

Who was such a sweet lad

Over time Has become so bad.

Sir, that's my seat.

Sir. That's my seat.

- Hey, sir.

- There are other seats.

That is my f***ing seat!

- What's up with this guy?

- I don't know.

- Want me to get my gun out?

- Relax, what are you doing?

- There are cameras there!

- To hell with the cameras!

Sir, it's just a joke.

We're not stereotypes.

Wow, Lahbib...

Check out that blonde.

Wow, what a chick!

I'm going to get her number.

- You, with that hair?

- Johnny Depp, brother.

- Bonjour. Can I ask you a question?

- I don't speak French, sorry.

- Where are you from?

- Russia.

Russia? Kalashnikov,

Molotov cocktail, Chernobyl...

- Chernobyl is not in Russia.

- What's your name?

What for?

- For on Facebook.

- Why?

I'm the Moroccan Johnny Depp.

I'm making a movie

about the most beautiful woman

in the world.

One more stop and

it would've been in the bag.

- Hi. Have you been here long?

- I've already ordered an aperitif.

Did you do something to your hair?

- I like it. It's nice.

- I went to the hairdresser for you.

Hamid, give me your best haircut.

You don't think I'm going to cut

your hair like Johnny Depp's?

Lahbib, you will still look like a retard.

Look at that ugly face in the mirror.

That's you, my friend.

Don't listen to them.

They are just jealous.

Samir, calm down.

It is not going to hurt. Come on.

- Where are you from?

- Iraq.

- What's his name?

- Samir.

Samir, look at me.

Are you afraid it will hurt?

Give me the trimmer.

You're right, that hurts.

Give me yours.

Wow, that's cool. It even tickles.

You want to switch?

You take the nice one,

I'll take the naughty one.

- I've had a great evening.

- Yeah.

Thanks for giving me a lift home.

I've heard you've spent a week on

a story about Schaarbeek.

And Molenbeek.

A week for a short report

seems a bit long, eh Herman?

I'm sure she'll deliver.

The problem is that

income is down this year.

We have to be selective about

what we spend our money on.

So a piece that digs deep

is perfect, eh?

Those riots were ages ago.

The viewers will have lost interest.

We need scoops.

I've just gained the trust of

an insider from the area.

Not some social worker. It'll be a story

like you've never seen before.

It's a unique chance to go into greater

depth, present a different image of them.

They've had enough negative coverage.

Can't you show what you've got?

You have enough.

You may have more time

but you don't have to use it all.

Aren't you the boss?

Management can't interfere with content.

Finish it as quickly as possible

and get it on the air.

Joeri and Geert have been put on

another job. You will be too.

I'm making the best thing

people have ever seen.

What you have made

should have been aired ages ago.

I told you she wasn't ready.

My brother.

- I'll pay later.

- You should pay now.

Oh... What's your problem, my friend?

You are not my friend.

Pay for this now.

- We've known each other for ages.

- Yes.

But it doesn't count.

You never pay.

- I always pay you, damn it.

- Always f***ing two months later.

- Chill, cousin.

- Chill cousin...

You Moroccans don't respect me.

You think I'm Indian,

I love Ghandi, don't have balls.

- I thought Pakis played cricket?

- I'll show you!

- Want one? They're good.

- Stop this now and pay up.

Stop, I told you to stop.

I told you to stop!

Don't you understand me?

- Damn!

- Calm down.

What? Let's go.

You can keep your f***ing crisps.

Coward!

Let's go.

Tell all your brothers and friends.

Nobody fucks with me!

- F*** off!

- F*** you, motherf***er!

Faster next time.

I almost killed him with his own bat.

- We didn't know what you were going to do.

- It happened spontaneously.

- Hello?

- Lahbib?

- Who's this?

- Eva.

Hi, Eva. How are things?

- Good, and you?

- I'm fine.

- Can we meet tomorrow?

- If you want. Where are you shooting?

- I'll be alone.

- All alone? Without your pals?

Yes, with a small camera.

OK, I don't care.

It's the same price.

I thought the 100 euros

covered everything?

We'll see tomorrow.

- 2 o'clock, Etangs Noirs metro?

- Perfect.

- See you tomorrow.

- Right, see you tomorrow.

Wait, wait!

- Thank you.

- OK?

- Who are you here for?

- Willem De Raedt.

- You're the new intern?

- Yes, I am.

Don't stress too much.

It's not a jungle here.

My hair probably looks awful.

No, no, it's... fine.

- I'm Sara.

- Eva.

Follow me.

If a factory like that shut down here

we'd have done loads of items on it.

But it's like you say,

it's not happening here.

- Anything else?

- Dairy farmers are protesting.

You're late.

You'd better have some good ideas.

Is she one of them?

- Willem, this is your new intern.

- Oh yes, hello. How do you do?

This is where all the bright minds gather

to make Herman shine.

I'm curious to see

what you'll bring me this week.

Because according to the last quarter's

ratings, I didn't shine enough.

We've got the European farmers,

the Twitter murder...

- Who's that?

- The new intern.

- Pleased to meet you.

- What do you think of our programme?

- It's fantastic.

- No, honestly.

- I mean it.

- Really?

Yes.

There you have it, friends.

Herman Verbeeck doesn't only

appeal to older audiences.

Twitter. You're joking.

No one's interested in that.

It started as an argument

between 15-year-old kids on Twitter

and got totally out of hand.

They hired a young guy

to kill the girl.

That'd make a great episode

for a detective series.

There are also rumours about sexual

harassment at the Department of Defence.

- They are just rumours...

- We've got some statements.

- Yes, but is it true?

- No, no. Is it interesting? Next topic.

The Salafi population in Belgium

is growing.

Aha... That's what bothers my viewers.

- You can bet on it.

- It's a difficult group to infiltrate.

Yes, very difficult...

We've tried before but had no luck.

- Where, in Brussels?

- Yes, Brussels, and Antwerp.

It can't be that hard to find someone?

No, a long beard,

djellaba and short pants!

- Why don't you take it?

- No, thanks.

Our star reporter

prefers the dairy farmers.

We tried to interview an imam

from a Brussels mosque once, but...

He'd been imported from Saudi Arabia.

- He just gave a rehearsed speech.

- We got nothing useful.

Just stayed in his comfort zone.

If you want to access that world, you have

to establish trust, a relationship.

Like you in those neighbourhoods?

Those guys will never talk

to someone white, let alone a woman.

- Karim, what do you think?

- It won't be easier for me.

- They'll just see me as a reporter.

- Just try, OK?

OK...

- Right, who's taking the farmers?
