Nieuwe Buren (2014–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript

I wasn't allowed to go home, really.
I had to wait with you.

Why is that?
- They were arguing.

Really? Moms and dads have
arguments all the time, that's normal.

Not with each other
but with the new neighbors.

NEW NEIGHBORS

22 weeks before

Free parking on the doorstep, amazing.
- That's just to make us buy it.

As soon as we live here,
they'll introduce paid parking.

It is one of the advantages
of living outside of Amsterdam.

Smell the air.

Another advantage.



The neighborhood watch.

She was there last time, too.
She'll have time to babysit our kids.

What are you doing?
- Waving to the neighbor.

Stop it.

Eva, what are we doing here?

It won't make us bourgeois.
We are who we are, young and wild.

Good morning.

Yes, I'm fine.

Well, do your best.

Are you all right?
- Yes.

Come in.

This is your second visit, isn't it?
So, you're interested.

The first time you tend to miss things.

Take your time to look around
and soak up the atmosphere.



Certainly with this great light.
It's really a home with flair.

Oh yes, look.

I made a bid, 30 euro.
Isn't it cute?

The bathroom isn't our style
but there is so much room.

It's as big as our bedroom.
We could put a bath in it.

Peter?
- Yes.

We have to do it. We'll never
find anything like this in the city.

A playground and a school around
the corner, a garden with a view.

Dad, help.

I have to go to work
and you're off to school.

Are you going to catch bad guys?
- You bet. Big, fat and dirty bad guys.

Do your best, won't you?
- They're viewing the house again.

Great.
- Perhaps a new buddy for you, Sem.

Or a sexy chick, see you later.
- Take care.

Look who you had left outside.
Here.

I'm sure you won't regret it.
- This house with flair?

I meant this is a developing area.

Whatever happens to the market
these homes will increase in value.

In 15 years time,
everyone will want to live here.

It's affordable now
but that won't last much longer.

When is the baby due?
- In ten weeks time.

Awesome.
You can move right in.

The midwife can park
right outside the house.

An ambulance can be here
in 5 minutes.

You didn't see anything.
Shut up.

Just nod your head if you get it.
Nod your head.

Shut up.
Guys?

Are you alone?
Whose dump is this?

Are you too stoned?

I have nothing to do with it.
I just steal pills.

Sure. You're busted.
Turn round.

Build up slowly, ladies.
Don't rush off.

Roll from heel to toe, ladies.

Morning, ladies.
- Morning.

Morning, Rebecca.
- Good morning, Jasper.

Are you looking forward to it?
- You bet.

So am I.
- Now, let's speed up a bit.

Nine more, eight more, seven more.
Come on, I want to see power.

Five more, think of all that fat
you're burning. Three more, two more.

One more and walk over
to your T-Rex. Good job.

Well, you're giving us a hard time.
- That's what you pay me for.

After last time, my back hurt me.
Am I doing something wrong?

A bit of muscle ache
means your body is working hard.

It feels more like a vertebra
than a muscle. I'm not sure.

You start with the squats, guys.
- Perhaps I overdid the squats.

You said: First, you put your knees
forward and then...

Your butt?
- Yes, your butt backwards but...

I have a sedentary occupation.
By the way, if you need any advice?

I have a home office.
I mean, do you have a bookkeeper?

Yes, me.

If you bring it round to my house
I'll look at it free of charge.

We'll see.
Let's do the exercise together.

Please.
- These are for you, hold on to them.

Align your feet with your hips, stand up
straight and tilt your pelvis backwards.

How?
- Tilt your pelvis.

I don't get it.
- Tilt your pelvis like this. A bit more.

Now I can feel it.
- Okay, and again, your pelvis.

Tilt your pelvis more
and bend your knees.

Do I pull now?
- No, as little as possible.

Hello, mom.

One, two.
- You just carry on. Okay?

Hello, little man.
What are you guys doing here?

We just came to spur you on.
- I don't come to your job, do I?

You can if you like
but it's not as exciting as this.

That man drives me crazy,
he's always complaining.

Like what?
- Rebecca, can you help me?

Go ahead.
Why don't you go and help mommy?

So, big guy,
you're not one to mess with.

Not everyone needs a motorbike
to make an impression.

Just kidding. What's that?

This is the house near the bent tree
of which I dream, when I dream.

This is Rozemarijn's crib. When she
came, the house was too small.

Look, this is Rozemarijn's crib.

But your baby isn't called Rozemarijn.
- No, she's called Lieve.

I don't want a new Miss.

Miss Eva is going on maternity leave
and when that is over...

you'll be in the third grade
with Miss Judith.

So you won't miss me, at all.
- How do you know she's cute?

Come and have a listen.

What do you hear?

The baby is crying
because it has to move.

Good luck with giving birth, Ralph.
PS. Will you send me a card?

It's good of you
to come so soon.

Don't stress out.

It's 10 weeks premature.
- Yes, but I feel fine.

I can feel her moving.

Peter and I have made an offer
on the house. I'm so happy.

It's the perfect place for us.

We just don't have any money left
to decorate it.

I've seen some awesome curtains.

Do you think mom and dad
might lend us the money?

They're finding it very difficult.
- They think I'm a whore.

Do they still think
I slept with the donor?

They don't believe in kids
from test tubes.

They believe a child is a gift from God.
- Dad's cows come from test tubes.

It's about purity.
- It's my child.

Perhaps you could get married?
That would be one sin less.

I doubt it before I give birth.

It's 10 weeks premature.

I'm here, I'm here.
- Peter.

She can't wait, I couldn't stop her.
- Doesn't giving birth take ages?

Eva, Eva, Eva.

On the next contraction, push.

Breathe with the pain.
Breathe with the pain, won't you?

Very good, keep going, very good.

I can see the head.

Come on, come on.

The bed is ready.

Now, now, come on.

And there she is.
- Yes, yes, she'll be fine.

She's okay, isn't she?
- Yes, she's just a bit early.

You have a daughter.
- Yes.

Well done.

Dad?

Eva has a child.

A daughter.

Sold

We're moving her
to the neonatology wing.

You can come with us and I'll be back
to give you all the information.

Perhaps I should get a mobility scooter.

We were going to walk, cycle,
do the gardening.

Perhaps we should, in that case.

We'll sell the mopeds.
Well, yours.

Otherwise I won't keep up
with your mobility scooter.

I'm stuck indoors all day
and there is nothing going on, at all.

You could help me.
- Shut up.

He's a cop, just leave him alone.

And you just said
that nothing ever happens.

Is there a problem?
- Yes.

It's not trash can day, is it?

No, but they come
at the crack of dawn.

The garbage men
and we're not morning people.

They're practically in my yard.

Rules are rules, big guy.

Can't we solve this like two adults?
- That's exactly what I'm doing.

I highly recommend it.

Senior citizen gym Always Fit.
- Don't let me see you again.

Big guy.

Have a nice day.

Snuggle down.
- Will you read to me?

No, stinky, it's far too late.
Here, sweet dreams.

I'm just running an errand.

Try it first and if it doesn't fit
just come back.

Great, here you are.
- Thanks.

We have reason to believe
that there are pill labs in this area.

We think they're easy to move
but we're not sure.

But they could also just be depots.
- That's a great help, boss.

Have you found the leak yet?

Did that junkie tell you anything?
- The kid had nothing to do with it.

It's a bit too coincidental.
Everything gone when we move in.

I'm on it.
I read you loud and clear, Mick.

But for now, I'm assuming
it was bad luck. It won't happen again.

We'll catch them.
- Yes, boss.

We're starting in Zeewolde tomorrow.

God bless you.

She's called Lieve.

Have you informed your parents?
- They're out in the bush somewhere.

Cameroon.

Sanne says you've bought a house.
- That's right, not far from here.

Sanne also says
that you don't have any curtains.

Thank you, we'll pay you back.
- With what?

A mortgage and a debt on top of it?
These days?

Peter has a job and I...
- You won't carry on working, will you?

No, I'm on maternity leave.
- A mother belongs with her child.

Anyway, I brought you this.

Thank you.

Can I play at Jurgen's?

All right, come on. I'll race you.
- Yes, let's go.

I feel just like a cow.

Peter.

Peter, Peter, Peter.

There is no need for both of us to stay.
You can go to work.

Sure?
- I'll call you if anything happens.

I'm going to a concert tonight.
Kane is the band.

Get me an autograph.
- Asking for autographs is kids' stuff.

For Lieve.

Call me if anything happens,
it's on vibrate.

Are you sitting?
- Yes.

Look where you're going, asshole.
- Sorry.

Did you know that
at the end of Space Dementia...

Matt Bellamy's zipper served
as an instrument? Yes, who doesn't?

Did he recognize you?
- Who?

Dinand. Do you know him really well?
- No, we went to high school together.

It's two years ago for you
but for me...

He was just a regular guy.
He didn't stand out, at all.

But when he got on stage,
everyone went quiet.

Even then.
- Shouldn't you be in hospital?

I'm on my way.

Finished. Do you want to hear it?

A hall full of lucky people were present
at Kane's unexpected performance.

You could hear a pin drop
during Love Over Healing.

Who surrendered unconditionally
during No Surrender.

A great show of craftsmanship
but there is a sound I'd rather hear.

A sound Kane can't produce.

A sound better than a collaboration
between Bach and Jagger.

The crying of my newborn baby.

Beautiful.

Aren't you going training?

No.
- Yes, you are. It's Thursday.

I have stopped.

Her lessons are no good.
I wonder whether she is qualified.

Far too little personal attention.

She doesn't check your posture.
I've overburdened my back.

One patient around here
is more than enough.

I thought you were so enthusiastic?
- Me? No way.

Anyway, I'm far too busy.

Hello, Lieve. Hello, my little
sweetie pie. Hello, honey.

Aren't you going to say something?

I just have to...
- This is what I always wanted, Pete.

Becoming a mom.

Now I feel complete.

She looks like you.
- Really?

And she's going to be just fine.

Hi.

We need to see the notary
to sign our deed to the house.

I'm not sure. Would that be possible?
- Go ahead.

Bye, cutie pie, see you later.
- Bye, Lieve.

If you have no further queries
or comments, I suggest...

you sign here. There you go.

Congratulations on your new house
and I have a small something for you.

Here is to a bright future.

Congratulations.
- You too.

Lieve's kidneys aren't working.
She has an infection.

We're fighting the infection now.

But it will take a few hours before
we know how she's reacting to it.

And forwards.

And breathe in.

And breathe out.

And audibly in and we're in a flow.
And out.

Have you got the money?

Good afternoon to you, too.

Fancy a coffee, Steef?
Great, Romana, thanks.

How is he doing?

How is he?
- Fine.

700 euro.

Can I see him?
- No.

Please?

How are you doing?

As long as you come round with these
cheap tips, I'm obviously not too good.

It's a sign. Please, Eva, think.
- Get the hell out of here.

I'm not giving you anything, anymore.
- Here I come.

Did you say something to Jasper?
- No.

Jasper.

Where do the broken things go?

I just heard about your baby.
- Lieve.

If there is anything I can do, just
let me know. We're neighbors, after all.
