someone else?
You mean another woman?
It can happen to anyone.
No, not Felix. What an idea.
It could have been.
No, that's not like Felix.
Good, that would only have caused
misery.
I told Kees years ago.
If I find out there's another
woman...
either you go or I go.
He understood. He wouldn't dare.
A complete maintenance job?
Aren't you exaggerating?
We've got enough work already.
I'd feel better. There has to be
something wrong.
I understand how you feel, Felix.
But it wasn't your fault.
The police say they're accidents.
I want to know the cause.
It's not normal.
Breuker checked the entire lift
last month.
He had problems with it too.
Who told you that?
-That's what they say.
It's our newest model.
With the newest electronics and
security.
They spent years of research and money
on it.
So maintenance takes a bit longer.
You have to get used to
the technology.
And the maintenance log?
-Which maintenance log?
There was no maintenance log.
Did you check everywhere?
I couldn't find it.
I don't know.
I'll ask Steensma. It's his
responsibility.
But don't you worry.
If anything had been wrong, Breuker
would have told me.
Take some days off.
-Why? I feel fine.
In a couple of months, we'll merger
with the Americans.
That will mean a lot of work.
So don't create any problems.
I just try to do my work well.
You're one of our best mechanics.
Would you like a promotion?
I'll see what I can do.
We'll discuss it later.
That would be inconvenient.
Hello, Felix.
-Hey, Spiekie.
Do you know the blonde from
administration?
I have a date with her.
Everybody does.
-They say she shaves down there.
Is it growing that fast?
Soon, I'll be able to tell you all
about it.
Another bloody salami sandwich.
Did you know Breuker well?
Not very well. I went to see him.
He was a mess. he didn't even
recognize me.
Could Breuker be the type to...
mess with a lift?
What do you mean?
Unscrew a few bolts, out of
revenge.
No, he was a strange guy, but he
loved lifts.
I worked with him a few times.
He only talked about his work.
No, that's nonsense.
Strange how someone can change from
one day to the next.
It happens.
One day they're fine and
the next...
I have to talk to you, Spiekerman.
Yes, boss.
Go see him. He might be doing
better now.
I know, Karel.
Sorry, I forgot...
No, we're partners. I know.
I'll send the quote today.
I'll do it.
Give my regards to your wife.
Yes, I will. Bye, Karel.
He never does it.
What?
-Give me your regards.
Sometimes I think he suspects
something.
No, he's too busy. Like you.
You have to relax... partner.
What's wrong?
-I don't want the employees to know.
And your secretary won't be back
until 2 pm.
We have to be careful.
Relax. No one will know.
A drink?
If Ravenstein saw that...
Don't worry. He's having fun.
Yes, it's Wednesday.
We'll be more comfortable on
the couch.
Where's your daughter?
She's playing outside. Don't worry.
You're wearing your black lingerie.
Only for you.
Why did you scream?
What did you do?
Come...
It's always something with you.
Are you a relative?
-No, a colleague.
How is he?
No change.
A strange case.
He always sits in the middle
of the room.
He's afraid of the walls.
Mr Breuker.
Someone to see you.
Get a chair.
What's wrong with his hands?
Last week he broke the TV screen with
his hands.
We don't know why.
Let me know when you're leaving.
He's had a lot of sedatives.
He won't talk much.
Do you remember me? Adelaar,
from work.
From the lift factory.
What's wrong with the lift?
You must know.
You've worked on it for weeks.
There have been accidents.
People died...
You have to tell me what you know.
What's wrong with that lift?
Your colleague just left.
My colleague?
From the computer firm. Don't you
know him?
He was here to check the electronic
installation.
Lifts are pretty complicated.
You bet.
The things he did! The lifts
were out of order for an hour.
For an hour?
Yes, it can take a while.
I hope you're not going to do
that too.
No, I just came to see if everything's
still working.
You had me worried. My feet hurt
from all those stairs.
That's all we have about
Rising Sun.
Do you understand it all?
It's one of the largest internationals
in electronics.
Did you know that?
Is there anything wrong with that?
"Charged with bribing politicians
and industrial espionage."
So what? They all do that.
They were on TV the other day.
Rising Sun?
In a scientific program.
When was that?
Last week. Didn't you see it?
No.
But someone else did.
Let's have a coffee. You can tell
me what's bothering you.
I think I understand.
A lift has a mechanical part
and an electronic part.
The electronic part controls
the lift.
go to the same floor.
Yes, it's the lift's brain.
And you think there's a failure in
the electronic part.
Yes, and it was provided by
Rising Sun.
Do you think your colleague
found out?
Yes... I think so.
Why would that have driven
him insane?
Maybe he's got a screw loose too?
It's not funny.
Why are you so worried about that
lift?
It's not working normally.
-I don't always do that either.
But you're not a machine.
Thank you.
He's with someone else.
I knew it.
He's got another woman. The bastard!
Come!
Why don't you go to the police?
I don't have any proof.
They wouldn't believe me.
My newspaper clippings didn't help much.
-I now know what kind of company it is.
What time will you see them?
-I'm about to go there.
Alright.
What do you mean?
-You're not going alone.
What?
-I'm coming too.
I can't bring a journalist.
-Why not?
NO ADMITTANCE:
Behave, ok?
What can I do for you?
Hello, I have an appointment.
What's your name?
Felix Adelaar.
You have an appointment with Mr Kroon
from R&D, at 4:
45 pm.You're right on time.
He forgot his pager. I'll go
get him.
Put that thing away.
-What's wrong?
Mr Adelaar? Kroon.
I was only expecting you.
She's a colleague.
We were in the area.
A colleague? Doesn't seem like
women's work to me.
Why not?
I don't have a lot of time.
What can I do for you?
This morning, one of your
mechanics...
checked the electronics of a lift
that I worked on...
That's possible. We often do routine
checkups.
I wondered if there could be anything
wrong with it.
With the electronics?
With the operating system.
That's impossible.
Our systems are tested extensively.
We have a reputation to uphold.
I don't know much about electronics, but
why couldn't there be something wrong?
Mr Adelaar, we sell our systems all
over the world.
For lifts...
factories, hospitals, nuclear
reactors.
Everything.
We spend millions on research.
We can't afford to make mistakes.
Our microprocessors are 100% reliable.
Are you making them there?
