Plan C Page #5

Synopsis: Ronald Plasmeyer (Ruben Van Der Meer) is a small-time Amsterdam detective, struggling with financial problems because of his gambling habit. When the Chinese crime boss Hao threatens Ronald's ex-wife and son to get his money back, Ronald comes up with a plan that will solve all his problems. Ronald enlists two petty criminals (Ton Kas and René Van 't Hof) to rob an illegal poker tournament he's taking part in, providing him with a perfect alibi. Quick, simple and non-violent; the plan is foolproof... until people start getting killed. Soon, Ronald's partners take off with the money, leaving him empty handed. To make matters worse Ronald's colleagues in the police force begin to suspect him of the robbery, setting the stage for a nerve-racking game of cat and mouse. Ronald is all-in... holding the worst hand of his life.

OK. Let's confer, Bram.

I'm not OK with all this.

Things are getting completely

out of hand this way.

I think that we should just

split the money fair and square.

Just like we agreed

and then lay low for a while. OK?

Bram?

Yes, I hear you. You don't agree.

So what do you want to do?

Have a meeting?

Ah, no...

Hold on.

- We're sticking to the plan.

Let's just split the money evenly

and that's it.

Cancerous fucks!

- No, not!

No cancer, Bram. Come on.

Lousy, lousy...

...cancerous fucks!

Well, that looks like a lighter...

...I was given by some one.

- OK. Then we have a problem.

That lighter was found in North Amsterdam

at an illegal poker tournament...

...where three people were killed

during a robbery last night.

What?

- What was your lighter doing there?

Well, I don't know.

Is this even my lighter?

Maybe someone took it.

There are a lot more lighters like this.

Ronald, please.

I'm just trying to help, OK?

Yes, I... I sometimes go

to North to play poker.

That's not right, of course.

But just to be clear...

...poker is not gambling, you know.

Poker is a game of skills and...

Wednesday night suddenly

there were shots fired.

I didn't see what was happening exactly.

I was afraid that I...

You figured you'd leave before you

ended up in all sorts of problems.

But that's exactly where

you ended up now.

Yes. True.

Ronald...

...what have you gotten

yourself mixed up in?

You know that you can talk to me.

I know the dark side of life.

I've gone through a lot.

I wasn't always this wise.

I was a wild one.

I don't always like myself.

Ok, I think we all feel that way sometimes.

- I'd rather not talk about it.

Fine, I get that.

Now may not be the right...

Let's start with your testimony.

Clear all that up.

But I also...

I mean, this is all a bit of a mess.

So I'm afraid I also have to suspend you

pending the investigation.

Suspend me.

- Temporarily.

And we should talk some time.

Confidentially, of course.

I'm a good listener.

But first...

This is Peter.

I need an interview room downstairs.

Downstairs. A few minutes.

What? Albert's got it?

Why?

Ten minutes. OK.

- I really need to go to the bathroom.

Simon!

Come on.

Did you have a nice day?

Nothing special.

Good.

Sorry Roland couldn't come and play.

Dad's got a very busy day.

Hi, grandma.

Hi, I have a question.

I'm rather busy today and...

How much more?

Bram?

It doesn't really look like a lot.

- It's 30,000, Not 500,000.

Who's that?

- Hold on.

Ronald.

- Don't answer.

It's just the two of us now.

When we've split this, you can talk

to Ronald all you want, but now...

Don't reject it!

Did you reject the call?

You told me not to answer it.

- You should always push ignore, retard.

Now he hears you reject the call.

- So?

Don't start with me.

Hey, Gerrie...

You know who you're dealing with.

- I didn't do anything.

If you reject the call he knows

something is up. Rejecting is a reaction.

Now he's going to call back,

because he knows something is up.

Because you responded by rejecting the call.

Don't think I'm stupid.

Don't get all high and mighty with me.

Hey!

Don't act high and mighty.

Put it down.

Put it down.

Just let it ring.

Yes, you're acting high and mighty.

We're in the same boat now, Ger.

OK?

I'll go along.

I'll go along with your plan.

No resentment.

We'll bury the hatchet.

But if the two of us can sit down and talk

as soon as possible.

You and me.

As soon as possible.

'Cause if I can borrow

the rest of the money from you. 5,000.

And you'll have it back in a week.

Two weeks. With interest.

Then I can at least...

I need that money very badly, Gerrit.

I have a lot of stuff going on at once.

So... call me back as soon as possible

if you can. Please.

I repeat:

Call me as soon as possible. OK?

Gerrit, it's urgent.

OK. Bye.

These vans are stolen a lot, you know.

I always park it here. Free parking.

Let's see. A black Volkswagen van

with on the side...

'Ron's Slot Machines.'

Then you must be Ron.

- Yes.

See.

Taco, look at this.

I don't care if someone's fat.

I really don't.

But if that person is also really annoying,

a nuisance...

...then them being fat also

becomes really annoying.

Starts to irritate you.

You think:
and on top of things

you're also fat, a**hole.

'Get some exercise, man. Don't eat

so much.' You know what I mean?

Because someone is annoying

the being fat becomes annoying too.

I have that sometimes.

You never say these things, of course.

Do you have kids?

- Yes, two.

Yeah, I know people do stupid things.

They make mistakes.

And then what?

You get stuck and it's over?

We all make mistakes.

- That so? Well I don't.

You've never done anything bad?

- No.

Well, small things. Nonsense and so on.

But really bad? No.

Well, I once messed around with a woman

after I got married. Touched her breasts.

She had these...

OK, maybe that was bad.

But the real question is:

Have I ever done anything good?

Aha.

Aha, Richard. That's the question.

That's the real question.

You must have, for your wife...

- No, not that kind of thing.

Something truly good.

Aha, Richard.

Hello?

- Hi, it's Nico. Am I interrupting?

Nico... no.

I've got some news on that tournament

robbery. You wanted to be kept posted?

Yes, that's right.

- Well, we found a car in the North.

We suspect it has something to do with it.

Quite sure actually.

They probably changed cars

and tried to set their old car on fire...

...but that didn't quite work out.

I'm going to the bathroom.

- I'll make a note of it.

Hey. Could you continue your conversation

somewhere else. Please.

I'm trying to have a quiet sit here.

I've got a lot on my mind.

I'm trying to relax.

I need to take a sh*t.

Yes, but I'm closing the door,

so no tricks.

Bram, no tricks, of course.

Yes?

- Hey, Ronald.

I'll split my money with you.

I repeat:
I'll split...

- What? Gerrit?

...my money with you. Don't worry.

I'll call you tonight.

- Where are you? I tried calling you.

I repeat:
Don't worry.

I'll call you tonight...

Gerrit.

Did you listen to my voicemail?

Pedro.

Thanks.

F***!

Yes, hello.

What's your exact address again?

...No problem.

OK, bye.

So you guys having a good time downstairs?

OK, calm down and think. Easy.

Yes, Hao.

Everything?

Yes, everything. Count it if you want.

On time.

Right.

That's it.

We're done.

Well, as I was saying:

mystery solved.

What a nasty affair.

Well, it wasn't exactly an organized crime,

I can tell you that. Oh, man.

The footprints in Hotel Montfort

correspond to the ones found in the car.

And the fingerprints found on the hash

correspond to the prints...

...of the other victim

the burnt-out car is registered to.

In the hotel's bathroom

we found 18,000 Euros...

...with blood of a victim

from the tournament.

So you just have to connect the dots

and the mystery solves itself.

A lot of dead people for 20,000 Euros.
