Nieuwe Buren (2014–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Episode #1.5 - full transcript

Get lost.
I've broken up with my parents.

I don't see them anymore.
- We're swingers.

What?
- People who swap partners.

Steve didn't want kids.
- Why not?

No idea, so I made sure
that I got pregnant.

You're kidding.

Why not try again with that donor?
- Peter doesn't want to.

I've signed us up for adoption.
- It's too soon.

Or we'll arrange some of
Steve's sperm cells, he has enough.

Here we go, Becky.
- Why don't the four of us go together?

NEW NEIGHBORS



Of course.

Eva is an open book.
She's great to work with. But Peter?

First, I thought he was in mourning,
but it's deeper, hidden.

Almost dark.

You can bottle up your anger for ages
but in the end the bomb drops.

And in some cases,
that causes a huge explosion.

Nine weeks earlier

Are you planning something wild?

What do you think?

I don't know.
- Dad, I can't do it.

You have to help me.

What are you going to do?

Just fun things,
things you do with your buddies.

Go for a walk, have dinner,
play games around the fireplace.



Why can't I come with you?
- Next time you can, monkey face.

What do you think you're doing?

Do you know
what you're getting into?

Pete?

Yes?

Are you taking your swimming trunks?
- No.

We can stay at home, if you like.

We can cook a meal together
and rent a movie.

Just the two of us.
- What for?

They are swingers, after all.
- Come on, Pete.

You're not afraid, are you?
- I want you to feel all right with it.

We're just having a weekend away,
that's all, doing fun things with friends.

Have a few drinks by the fireplace,
things like that.

Hey, buddy. All set?

I am.

And armed to the teeth.

I've taken care of the music.
I've made a playlist.

And we're going shopping on the way
so let's move.

I'm looking forward to it.

We're going ahead.

What's up?
- I have stomach ache.

Shall I drive?
- No, I...

I think I'm ovulating.
Well, I'm quite sure actually.

It's the first time since Lieve.
- I guess that's a good thing.

Get busy with Peter, this weekend.

Eve, anything is possible.
How often do you hear about people...

who can't get pregnant and when
they accept it, they get pregnant.

You never know.
- You do know after six years.

Those things always happen
to other people.

I'm from here.

Does it only have seven houses?

If you want it that bad,
why don't we arrange it together?

All it takes is a pin prick.
- What do you mean?

You're ovulating and I have a kind,
handsome and fertile husband.

Do you mean that...

I should set Steve up?
- Set up?

Nobody needs to know
and accidents happen all the time.

It would make you happy,
Peter happy, me happy.

Why would it make you happy?

Then Sem would have a brother
or sister, after all.

I...

I'm sterilized.

Steve demanded I get it done.
When I got pregnant...

he was dead against it
but I wanted to keep it.

So that was the deal.
- So Steve won't be happy with it?

Nobody will find out.
Peter has lazy sperm, doesn't he?

Not dead sperm.

Candy.

Who's that?
- God knows. Vince, or something! Why?

If you want some, I can arrange it.
- What?

Don't tell me you've never tried it?
- A joint is too much for me.

I can't handle drugs very well.

Or drugs don't get along with me.
- You will really love these.

Honestly,
you won't know what hits you.

No.
- Buddy, try to relax for a change.

Loosen up.
What are you afraid of?

What are we going to do
this weekend?

Are we going for a walk?
You know...

Okay, Pete, listen.

We don't have to do anything,
this weekend. Is that clear?

Everything is possible
but we don't have to do anything.

We're just going to have some fun.

I love Eva.

And what about me?

That's why, she's such a hot chick.

Warm, soft, sensitive.

Should I keep her all to myself?
I want the best for her.

No, I want everything for her.
That's what I call love.

That is true love.

Hello, honey.

Dad.

Dad.
- Eva.

Eva, your mother and I live
according to certain principles.

You know this, you're one of us.
- No, dad, I'm not one of you.

I'm myself
and I'm not doing anything wrong.

What mom did at the funeral
was wrong.

That you don't accept me is one thing,
but an innocent baby?

God justifies us.

He does this so we can forgive
our loved ones.

The Bible tells us to forgive
with fervor.

Driven by God's Holy Spirit.
- I don't need your forgiveness.

Can you do this, Eva?
Can you forgive us?

Who was that?
- No one.

Good afternoon,
I am Mrs Hoogstraten.

For a quote, yes.
The stairlift, exactly.

Publish my profile

Yes, bye.

Jasper.
- Yes?

The car has arrived.
I'm off to see the physical therapist.

Have fun, sweetheart.

Yes, I'm so thirsty.

Lovely.

You are totally nuts.
How can you offer me your husband?

Every ejaculation contains
100 to 200 million sperm cells.

That's ten times the Dutch population.
So, what's one cell?

It means nothing to Steve
but the world to you.

It's a child to you.

I'm serious.

It would make you happy,
it would make Peter happy.

What is more important:
your happiness or one stray sperm cell?

I don't think Steve would mind.

It's honestly the kindest thing anyone
has ever offered me, but it's impossible.

It doesn't feel right.
- What doesn't?

Doing it with Steve or...?
- Both.

So, you two are good at soccer.

Aren't you Sem?
- Yes.

Don't you live in the house
with the bath in the garden?

Do mom and dad let you play alone?
- They're on holiday.

Really?

On holiday? That's cool, isn't it?

Why didn't they take you?
- They're doing adult things.

In the woods.
- Really?

Can I have my ball back, please?
- Shall I show you some moves?

Look, try and get it.
No, no, no,

No, come on, try again.

Are you enjoying yourselves?
- Definitely.

Did you get stuck in traffic?
- We had to do some shopping.

We didn't keep you waiting, did we?
- Not at all.

I could do with a beer.
- Yes, excuse me?

Can I have two Mexican bottles?
- Coming up.

Did you hear from Sem?
- Yes, he's not missing us.

Very disappointing but he's so sweet
when I take him to school.

And he clings on to you like a monkey.

Until he sees his buddies and then
he has no time for me anymore.

Or a snotty header in the eye.

Header?
- Awesome.

Why didn't you want kids, Steve?

You enjoy having him so much.

Well.

Sem is a fantastic kid.
Don't get me wrong.

Sem is really a great kid.

But you can't take that for granted.
I see so many retards in my work.

Unbelievable, but they were all kids,
once. So fucking much can go wrong.

Making babies, okay.
But raising kids is a huge responsibility.

And in the Netherlands...

if you want a garden fence you have
to request permission in quadruplicate.

But every weirdo can have kids.
Criminal, psycho, addicted, whatever.

But that's not an issue in your case.
You're great parents.

And Sem is such a sweet kid.

Not only can people
really fuck up a kid...

you might also be saddling it up with
all kinds of diseases, cancer, ADHD.

Mental disorders are genetic.
- Yes, but it could turn out fine.

We're healthy and you don't know
these things upfront with kids.

What if you did know, Becky?

Would you do that to a child?
Yes, seriously?

Would you bring a child into the world
if you knew it wasn't healthy?

Pete, what would you do, dude?

I'd...

Not that it makes much difference
in my case, but...

no, I guess not.

And like you said, loads of kids
would die to have loving parents.

So I think I'd rather help
one of those kids.

Yes, of course, but people also
have motherly or fatherly feelings.

People want their own child
because they recognize themselves.

You'd recognize a lot in a kid
if you raised it.

Being biological parents
is different.

The biological part is highly overrated.
It takes two cells.

Yes, two cells.
Any loser can do that.

As a figure of speech.
Come on now, guys.

You start.
- I can't play pool.

Really?
Girl, you have so much to learn.

Becky, are you serious?

I know those balls really well.
That wasn't great.

I potted the white ball. Your turn.
- I'll help you.

Stand here, come on.
Stick your ass out a bit.

A bit further back.

Like this? Do you mean like this?

And your finger like this.

And then gently let it slide
back and forth, back and forth.

Like this?
- That's what I'm talking about.

Do you mean like this?
- Yes, like this.

Yes, and then...

Well done.
- Not bad.

For the first time,
it wasn't bad, at all.

Pete, it's your turn.

I need a stronger drink than this.
- Yes, a tequila?

Another one, darling?

I ordered the stairlift.

Then I can go upstairs, too.

Well, that's great.

Tequila.
- Awesome.

Nice, with a pinch of salt.
- Cheers.

Awesome.
- Another one.

I need the restroom.

It's disgusting really.

Sorry, would you mind holding her?

Thanks.

Oh yes, sorry.

Thank you.

Yo, chickies, where are we going?
- I don't know.

Neither do I.
- Why are you whispering?

There's not a sill... soul around.

Take it easy, buddy.
Stay on course, Pete.

We've got a long night ahead of us.

Peter.

He'll get lost in a minute.
Steve, go and have a look.

It's a bungalow park,
you can't get lost.

Pete.

Pete.

Pete?
- Sorry.

Pete, are you all right?

Are you all right?

What are you doing, idiot?
I was scared as hell.

Buddy, I'm sorry.
Are you all right?

Yes, there's nothing wrong with me.
- Sure?

Are you okay?
- Fine, come. Where is the bungalow?

Are you okay?

I'm going to freshen up.

What if the baby looks like Steve?

It won't,
all babies look the same, anyway.

Beautiful.

The truth will come out, one day.
- Perhaps.

By then, everyone will love the child
so much that it won't matter.

We'll be one big family.

Relax.

But if you have such an exciting job,
don't you need to rest at home?

Yes, it's the wrong kind of excitement.
The shit you see every day...

yes, you have to deal with it
and that's hard. Get it?

Do you believe in something?
- Eva believes in God.

Don't you, Eva?
In God's will.

Do you believe in anything?
- In love, I guess.

It sounds fucking cheesy, doesn't it?

Did you know that if a baby
doesn't get touched, it dies?

It's scientifically proven
and the same applies to adults.

Touch is fucking important
and sex is the basis of all intimacy..

If that's lacking.
If that's lacking...

then love doesn't stand a chance.

Is there any more beer?

No.
- None?

I'll go and get some from the reception.
Are you coming, Eva?

Are you all right?
- Are you?

You look beautiful.

We don't have to do this.

If you don't want this.

Would you want to, with Rebecca?

I like seeing you together.

I love you.
- I love you too.

I...

I think this is good for us.

And Rebec, she...

I see you want it, too.

We should want this for each other.
- I want everything for you.

Lilly?

Left or right?

Come on.
Yes, are you sure?

Pete, are you sure?

Come on, Pete.
No hanging about.

Come on, it'll be fantastic.
I swear it.

I'm with you, buddy. Come on.

Eva?

Have fun.

Dolly Parton. No?

Tina Turner, motherfucking Tina Turner.
- No.

No?

An ostrich.

Fuck it, Peter, an ostrich.
Get off it.

Mick Jagger?
- Yes, Mick Jagger.

No way.
- Yes, she's talented.

Fuck it, man. Mick Jagger?

Are you okay, buddy?
- Yes.

About me too?

Yes, that is clearly Marco Borsato.

It's Kate Bush.
- No.

Kate Bush.
- No way.

But without the bush.

What, seriously?

Well, perhaps you should
check it out for yourself.

I'll be right back.

Jasper?

Look at me.

You're beautiful, Eva.

Eva?

What do you want?

I want you.
- What do you want?

I want you, all of you.
- Say it louder.

I want you, all of you.
- Louder.

I want you.

Is everything okay?

Mrs Hoogstraten speaking.
An ambulance, please.

It was perfect.

He's upstairs.

Could you switch the light off upstairs?
- Yes.

Sir, do you know what happened?

Hey, honey.

What's the matter?

What would you like?

What the fuck?
- What?

Fucking hell, you must be kidding me.

What's up?
- The fucking rubber is torn.

It worked.
- Really?

But you have done it with Peter?

Since last weekend, he's lost it a bit.

I have to go to work.

What happened?
- A stroke, out of the blue.

You look surprised.
Are we a day early?

Who are you? Is your dad a cop?
- Leave him alone.
