Plan C Page #6

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.

- 18,000. Yes.

The way I see it...

The two probably thought

they'd grab some quick cash.

Got into a fight about the money

in the hotel. One shot the other...

...and then fell on his gun while trying

to escape. Not too clever.

What a shame.

But mystery solved.

Oh. I nearly forgot.

It's probably nothing.

But still...

The two perpetrators and the van

were previously seen in a roadside hotel.

They were seen in the lobby

with a third person.

One of them drew a gun

and the two perpetrators fled.

The third person left a little later.

We don't know who this third person is,

or what his link to our case is.

'Bald,' is the only similarity

in the witness statements.

It's being investigated,

but I'm not hoping for much.

My intuition says...

...separate cases.

Sorry.

- Sorry.

Well...

It's all a bit of a mess.

I did some... bad things.

I...

I had some money problems and...

Officially, I should report all this

internally and so on.

You should still give a statement...

...because you were present at that

shoot-out in North Amsterdam and all that.

But since that mess at the tournament

is as good as settled...

We've got the perpetrators.

Case is solved.

Well, still some loose ends they have

to figure out, but that could take years.

You know how that goes.

Solved?

You thought I wasn't aware

you were in trouble?

Alcohol. Gambling.

Your wife.

Weed. Was it weed?

Maybe we can talk about it some day

over a drink. Who knows?

But it's no excuse to leave your

responsibilities here at work unattended.

I had to leave that snackbar Coja report

up to Evert.

Temporarily.

But it's not right.

Paul breathing down my neck,

I promise it'll be fine...

...and you're nowhere to be found.

I understand you have problems, but

I can't run the place like that.

What I do want to know

from you is whether it's over now.

Yes, it's all been solved.

It won't happen again. It's...

Really? You can leave it behind?

Period?

Can you promise me that?

Yes.

OK. Can you do me a favor and make sure

you have a full report by Monday?

Coja.

I will.

Listen...

A guy's walking down the street

and suddenly falls into a big hole.

He can't get out.

Then a doctor comes along.

He yells:

Doctor, help me. I'm stuck.

The doctor writes out a prescription

and throws it to him.

Later a priest comes along.

He yells again:

Help me, please. I'm stuck.

The priest writes down a prayer

and throws it to him.

Later still a friend comes along.

The guy yells:
Hey, help me.

The friend jumps into the hole right away.

Guy says:
What are you doing?

Now we're together in this...

Or, no, hang on...

I think it was the friend who...

Well, anyway...

You need friends, Ronald.

Yeah.

Oh and thanks for the present

you all gave me.

Right.

- It's abstract, they told me.

Can I trust you a hundred percent?

Trust me, Linda, on my mother's grave.

I called you, didn't I?

But if something like this

ever happens again I swear...

But this won't happen again.

Believe me, it's over.

Can I talk to Simon?

He's playing with a friend.

Oh, he's not home.

With whom? With that Roland?

Roland? No...

And you'll pick up Simon

from school on thursday?

Yes, Thursday.

Ok, I'll talk to you then.

Say hello to Simon and tell him

dad has something for him.

A present from dad.

OK. Bye.

- Linda, wait...

...never mind.

Bye, Ronald.

- Bye.

Can I have a coffee?

Hey.

Want to play?

Hi, you've reached

Gerrit's voicemail.

I'm not here right now but

leave a message after the beep.

Bye...
