Nieuwe Buren (2014–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Episode #1.8 - full transcript

He has a child with another woman,
and that child is disabled.

And the woman says it's his fault.

Maybe you should have a test done.
- No way, that's too risky.

We can do it again, in a test tube
or the natural way.

Both are possible, okay?

Man shouldn't mess with donors
and insemination.

Go to hell.

Shouldn't we spice up our profile?
- You say the right things at the right time.

Jasper.
- Yes?

Sir?

How did it happen?



You will pay back every last cent,
or Scotty won't keep his mouth shut.

I borrowed money: 15,000 euros.

So you can pay back your debts,
so things will be like before.

We are pregnant.
- Is it true?

Oh Pete...
- So I can't get her pregnant?

Judging by your medical history,
it's highly unlikely.

NEW NEIGHBORS

Sometimes you are...

together day and night in this job.

But in fact I know nothing about him.

So Scotty looking for Steef at that
bungalow park doesn't really surprise you?

Scotty is a major player
in the export of XTC.

He must have been caught in a trap.
Steef, I mean.

Trap, in the sense that Scotty
wanted him dead?



What does that have to do with it?
I thought it was a domestic issue?

We are not ruling out anything.

1 week earlier

I'm substituting in fifth grade today.
I'm nervous, I've never done it before.

You said you'd call.
- Yes. Sorry. Busy.

Are you going to the neighborhood party?
Pete is probably the DJ.

I thought we could celebrate together.
- Celebrate what?

Uncle Peter and Aunt Eva
are having a baby.

Really? A new one?
Will this one be alright?

Pete had to get used to the idea.
At first I thought he'd never believe it, but...

Well, it is theoretically possible, so...

Have a nice day at work.

You can go now.

But it's Friday. Parents are allowed
into the classrooms, aren't they?

What's the matter?
- Nothing.

Do you think it's childish if I go with you?

What's going on, Sem?
- Are you a whore?

What did you just say?
Who taught you that word?

Hey, don't pay any attention to it.

Boys can be dumb, they don't
even know what a whore is.

Yes, they do.
You're on the Internet, naked.

No, I'm not. They're making it up.

Sem, are you coming?
- Hey...

'Dear Eva, thanks for stopping by. I feel for
you and I'm here for you. Be strong, Ralph.'

Keep your hands off my wife.

I don't want you child, you hear?
- What are you talking about?

Stay away from Eva.
- Eva?

Fuck off.
- You.

Get away from me.
You are out of your mind. Moron.

Hey, Becky. What's wrong?

What the fuck? What is this?

As if you didn't know.
- What?

Is it because of that painter friend of yours?
- No, of course not.

Which bastard uploaded these?

Sem has seem them.

He asked me if I was a whore.

Delete our profile from that site.
Remove all that shit, I've had enough.

It's not...
- Remove it.

Okay, okay. I'll remove them.

I'm in a foul mood, boss, so bring it on.

Scotty wants to see cash.
- Yes?

So, will you tell me how much,
baby face?

Ten grand.
- Fuck you.

Five.
- Hey...

If Scotty talks, you'll be changing diapers
in nursing homes.

Oh, really?

If I have to change diapers,
I'll drag you guys down with me.

Be sure to tell Scotty that.

And if you're in jail, who will take care
of that retarded son of yours?

Hi.
- Oh, Liesbeth. I'm not dressed yet.

That's alright.
I thought I'd bring you our accounts.

But I really came over to talk you into
helping us with the neighborhood party.

How exciting. What can I do?
- Wonderful.

I thought: catering. Here is a list of all
the people that want to make something.

Could you coordinate that?
- Alright, fine.

We also need someone to tend bar
and we all thought about you...

since you are not exactly mobile.

Yes...
- And anything we can borrow for the party?

I still have a box of beer glasses
from Jasper's fiftieth birthday in the garage.

Okay, I'll pick them up later. And we can
count on you for the catering, right?

Yes.
- Yes? Okay, bye-bye.

Try to push my hand upward.

That's alright, it's alright.

I barely have time, but what can I do?

If the neighbors come pleading,
you can't really say no.

Try pushing down this time.

Yes. Yes, I can feel strength coming back.

Hey. Hey, you watch.

Before you know it, you'll be taking out
the garbage. Go.

Rebecca, can you cook?

Maybe your mom can help me.

Well done, Jasper.

Hey, sweetie...

You make a nice pair.

That's the best, isn't it?
Close to your mother.

Warm and safe...

Jasper?

Go outside for a little while.

Go outside and get some fresh air.

Sem? Will you hand me my rollator?
Good boy.

Will you watch Jasper for me?
You're so good at it.

I just have the feeling
that everything I ever believed in is a lie.

You know?

Yes. Don't get me started.

Let's have a glass of port.

Steve, he...

Hey. I'm on your side.

Promise you won't tell anyone.

Steef has a child with another woman
and the child is disabled.

Yo, Andre. Hey.

You work with whizz kids, right?
- When I need them.

I need a favor. It's confidential.

Since when are things said here
not confidential?

Yes, well...
It's a private matter, okay?

How much does it pay?
- Fuck, man, come on. I need a favor.

Yeah, but I have to pay those kids.
- Okay, here.

I'm sorry. I'm having problems at home,
you know how it is.

Kitchen cabinet?
- What?

Oh, right.

No sweat.
- Thanks, thanks.

Where is Sem?
- Outside playing soccer with Robbie. Well?

We were hacked. Somebody wants
to screw us. He did a good job, too.

Who?
- No idea.

You were supposed to find out.
- I can't put three men on it, Beck.

Unless you want to press charges...
- Jesus.

Okay, listen.

We deleted the pictures and blocked
our profile on the swingers site.

I don't think it has anything to do...
- No, but it's enough for now.

Is it over now? All of it?
- Yes. Yes.

Did you pay that money?
- Of course.

How are you?
- Fine.

That's great.
And what exactly is fine about it?

I'm pregnant.

Congratulations. I'm happy for you.
For both of you.

Yes, we had almost given up hope,
what with Peter's... well...

Yes, it's wonderful, isn't it?

Yes, wonders never cease.

And how do you feel?
- Happy.

Although, sometimes
there are difficult moments with Peter.

Do you talk to each other?
- Yes, we do.

But sometimes it's a little difficult.

Is Peter the father?

No.
- Does Peter know?

And don't you think he should know?

Yes, lying is not good.

Why don't you start by being honest:
honest to Peter, honest to everybody.

You'll notice what a relief that is.
Things will look very differently.

Good work, man. Really beautiful.

Wha... What is that?

I would remove that. It's a little weird.

Is Peter not in?

I'm Eva.

Yes, I know.

I just thought I'd stop by, no reason.
- Okay.

He's not here. I'll see him home later.
- Congratulations, by the way.

With your pregnancy.

Do I know you?
- I was at Lieve's funeral.

It's odd. I know a lot about you
and you know nothing about me.

I work very hard. I believe in true love.
Honesty, loyalty...

making each other happy...

You know the drill.

I was at your office.

I, eh...

I know all this has been
very tough on you, but I...

Who is it?
- Steef.

What does he want?

What did you want to say?

Nothing.

I've got to go.

Fuck. Bad.

Trouble in paradise, boss?

So what did you do?
- Nothing.

I bet.

Well...

Nothing doesn't exactly cover it, but...
- I thought you two had no secrets.

Eva and I now say everything
to each other. No secrets.

That way nothing can go wrong.
- That's true.

But where Becky's head is at right now...
Fuck only knows.

So have you two had a good talk
about our little swinging adventure?

I thought the condom breaking
was fucking awful.

It really upset me, you know that?

This is useless. You want to?

Here.

There you go, man.

"So I can't get my wife pregnant?"
-"It's highly unlikely."

"We're pregnant."

Are you alright, Pete?
You look like you just shit your pants.

Sorry, man.
I haven't been sleeping well lately.

I've been smoking too much pot.
- That's no good. But lots of fun.

I have to take this, okay?

He can go outside by himself now.
That saves me so much time.

Did you get any sleep last night?

No, not at all. I lie awake all night.

Wait, I'll get it.

Hi.
- I came to pick up the beer glasses.

The beer glasses?
- Yes, they are in the garage.

I'll have a look.

Can you manage?
- Yeah.

I've got them.

Eva. Come and sit down.

Hi, Dad.
- What are you doing here?

You're going to be a grandpa.

Maybe it is true that...

when you have almost lost hope,
God surprises you with a gift.

God is merciful.

Eva...

I am so sorry.

Dad, this child is a gift.
It may not be conceived in wedlock...

but Peter and I are as good as married.
We live together just like married couples.

It's not about...
- Maybe we'll marry before the baby is born.

That would make it alright, wouldn't it?

Dad, isn't it...

I think I will go and put up those shelves.

Sanne.

You must say that it is alright.

If it's alright, you don't need my blessing.

I do need you, I can't do it alone.
Tell me what to do.

Who is the father of the child, Eva?

What difference does it make?
God has granted me this child.

Whose child is it?
- It's mine and Peter's.

It's our little miracle.

Why can't you be happy for me?
It's ours.

I swear.

I swear on my life and I swear on you.

I swear on the Bible.

Stop crying, Eva. Stop crying.

Becky, come on. Give me that.

Beck...

Tell me, where is
your old motorcycle suit?

Upstairs, in the closet. Why?
- Nope, it's not in there.

Will you tell me what this is all about?
Don't do this. Come.

Two beers and a white wine.
- Two beers...

Two white wines?
- No, one.

Bastard.
- Becky, what's going on?

You really want to know? Come with me.

Becky.

What is your motorcycle suit doing here?

It was here.

No. It was here.

Your suit was here. It must be here.
- Come on.

No, it must be around here.
- That's enough.

You idiot.
- Calm down.

What are you looking at? Fuck off.

Calm down, will you. Hey.

Get some sleep.
Relax, you're going to bed.

Becky. Becky.

Don't be ridiculous. Come on.

Becky, will you...

I'm so happy to see you here.

I think that is so great on your part
after all you've been through.

And seeing you here... Is everything
going well with the two of you, is it?

Jasper and I, we never had children.

It was a conscious choice. Well,
conscious... We tried a thing or two.

Of course we did,
but it wasn't meant to be.

And then you're older and you think:
Jeez, alone is... is alone, you know?

But you can't turn back...
- Have you seen Rebecca anywhere?

You think I'm crazy, huh?
- Becky.

Open up.

Rebecca? No. Well, Rebecca...
You would know if she was here.

She was probably having
another argument with her husband.

They're always having arguments.

Do you know he has another child?
Yes, totally spastic.

Can't be helped.
You don't know it ahead of time.

It wasn't planned either, you know?
You can't choose these things.

It's probably hereditary...

Where are they? God, damn it.
- I don't know.

What did you do with them? Bastard.
- I don't know. I don't know.

Becky, Becky, Becky...

I know everything.

I made an appointment for you
at two at an abortion clinic.

What's the matter, man?

Get rid of the child. You hear me?

What deal do I get?

It's up to the prosecutor.
- What's his number?

You're coming with me. Come.

Rebecca, come downstairs.
- Rebecca.

Rebecca, come down right now.
- Jesus...
