TRICKED
This is for you. - Thanks.
A schedule book.
Great.
What were you hoping for?
I'm not hoping for anything anymore.
You don't have to do all this, this birthday stuff.
If you think I'm going to cancel all of it... I'm not!
Could you stop doing that? - What?
The moaning. You're moaning.
I have the flu. - Sure...
You drank 30 Breezers. - "You drank 30 Breezers."
Well, are we going to have a nice birthday or what?
Are we going to have a goddamned nice birthday? - Yes.
Good.
Gorgeous!
It's going to be a boy, right?
What?
Well, you're carrying low. That usually means it's a boy.
Oh. Yes.
Yes, that would be nice of course.
Yes, this is the one.
Is it for a special occasion?
For a birthday. - That's nice.
Yes.
Birthdays are always nice.
Happy birthday, Mister Albrecht.
Hi, Mister Albrecht. Congratulations...
Hey, Remco...
Hey!
What the fuck are you doing here? - Hello? I'm your best friend!
Ah, this is only for old people.
Man, are you wasted, or what?
No, but seriously, my dad is turning something like 50.
Yeah. So?
Come here. I've got something for you.
What? - It's upstairs.
Merel.
Hey.
Are you the photographer?
I'm taking pictures of my dad's friends. Hold still.
Oh, come on!
Too late.
Hey, Boris. - It's Tobias.
Congrats on your dad, boy.
Wim?
Wim!
Occupied!
Occupied? Just open up!
Come on!
I brought those especially!
Asshole! Open up!
Wim, open the door!
We were going to show them to him? - This isn't the right time.
Not the right time? But this is our only chance.
Not now!
In a couple of days everything will be over. Trust me.
But why did you light it?
Relax. The original is at the office. - Was it a copy?
You thought I was going to give you the original?
Are these for Valentine's day or something?
More for a white Christmas.
Time to sober up.
You want some too? - I didn't drink, did I?
Did my dad invite you?
Or did you think, cool party, can't miss that?
Jezus, Lieke, I'm here for you.
Uhm, it's not my birthday.
I can see how my old man is always looking at you.
Are you serious? I mean it's your dad!
Yeah, so? Whatever.
Everybody knows he's been screwing someone else.
And downstairs everybody pretends like there's nothing going on.
Come on...
I'm not going to sleep with your dad, stupid!
But I wouldn't mind trying it with your brother.
With Tobias?
You should be careful with Tobias. - What do you mean?
Come with me.
Tobias...
Tobie?
Don't mind the stench.
Here.
Sick, right?
Yeah.
But also kind of cute.
What are you doing in here?
Getting my CD's back.
Dude, you should open a window. It reeks in here.
You also lost some CDs? - Shouldn't you be taking pictures?
Let's see your breasts then.
There. No Photoshop required and you can still jack off.
You're crazy!
I'm coming!
Nadja. - Hey.
What are you doing here?
I'm here to congratulate Remco.
I thought you were in Japan?
Well, not anymore.
And you're pregnant!
Yes.
Yes. It's going to be a boy, because I'm carrying low.
Are you going to let me in?
Yes...
Of course...
Hey! Quick picture for my dad.
Oh, hold on a moment.
Remco is going to be delighted to see you.
Oh man, look at that mug!
Is that when you were arrested?
„Forever young. Always a boy.“ Oh, that's sweet. Maaike!
Look, who's here guys, all the way from Japan.
Did you know she was in Japan?
Oh, yes, I'd heard of it.
Oh, look at Ben! - Well hello...
Nadja.
Did you swallow a balloon? - Very witty, Wim.
Hey, Wim and Fred. Nice to see you.
Are you back? Because of...
No. I was just missing Wim's jokes.
Come, Remco is over there.
Darling!
What is she doing here? - Well, apparently she loves a party.
Nice. For Remco...
Rem?
Nadja...
Congratulations.
Thanks. And to you too!
What a surprise.
You've got guts.
Are you happy to see me?
It's a real Bonsai.
Oh, how nice. A little baby tree.
Yes, that's... that's nice.
Hey, aren't you going to speech? Everyone is here.
Yeah. Yeah.
Dear everyone, dear friends... I...
Dear Ineke...
We have... we have turbulent times behind us.
Business wise... Dubai is still a source of concern.
And the ecomony... - That's putting it mildly.
The economy isn't helping either.
Also, our private lives have endured
some troubles.
But we have left all that behind us.
Thanks to you, Ineke. Darling!
To the next 50 years!
Happy birthday to you...
Links, zwo, links, zwo...
They're singing for your dad. Come on.
Hip hip hooray!
No. I want to congratulate your dad.
To Remco, for you! x Merel
Happy birthday, Mister Albrecht.
Or may I call you Remco?
If I can call you Merel.
What is this, Merel?
I didn't do that. That's not my handwriting.
But those are you breasts, right?
Sorry, I didn't know...
I'm sorry, Misses Albrecht. - Yes, well...
That's wasn't very smart, Merel.
There's only red wine.
Shit party!
What kind of nonsense is this, Tobias?
That's something between me and Merel.
Leave us out of it then, please?
Is there something between you two?
Not yet.
I don't think this is increasing your chances of a relationship.
Nice,
that you are giving me relationship advice.
Can I have two glasses of red wine. - One, please.
Freddy!
Nadja, some for you? - No, no, no. No, thank you.
I'm drinking white. - I'll have some. It's my birthday.
Well, Rem, here's to you!
Cheers! - To you!
By the way, it suits you. - That happened quickly.
Tell me, who is the father? Do we know him?
Oh, that's not a nice story. - Come on, don't be coy.
I met him in Japan...
And it was...love at first sight.
Aha, so he's Japanese? - Yes.
Akihiko is his name. That means radiant prince.
But... he's gone now.
He had a car crash. - Oh no!
He said we were going to be together forever.
Well, here I am now.
That's terrible. - Yes.
I'm going to get another juice.
Can I have one orange juice please?
Hey‚ Nadja!
Hey... Lieke, right?
Yes. Wow. Can I feel? - Yes, of course.
He'll probably kick a bit, he's quite active.
Hwo far along are you? - Eight months.
I don't feel anything.
Oh. Maybe he's dead.
OK!
Eight months? she's only been gone 6 months.
Who is that?
Nadja van Romsbeek. An ex of my father.
Well, ex dash colleague and ex dash fuckbuddy.
Maybe she'll give you a brother or sister.
God, I hope not.
I don't feel too good.
Are you OK?
Oh dear.
Get up. - Hey!
Tobias! Can you help out?
Come on. - Come!
We're still going out, right?
Go out? No, you're going to sleep. - Oh yeah...
Sleep.
Did you have to do that, with the picture? - It's a nice picture, isn't it?
Fid you know that You're an incredible asshole?
Runs in the family.
Especially on my dad's side.
I still have to brush my teeth.
How is she doing? - she just has to sleep it off.
Aside from that it was a pleasant party, right?
It's always the same with you. First you complain,
until I can't enjoy it anymore. And in the end you had a great time.
Can you tolerate me for a little while longer?
This Nadja...
That's history, dear. I swear.
I know, honey.
But if you have anything to do with that baby, we are through.
You understand that, right?
There he is.
Hey, Remco! - Good morning...
Are those the originals? - Yes, Fred! Go ahead!
Good morning, Maaike. - Hey, good morning.
These have to be sent out today. And on the A-list.
Okay.
It was fun, your birthday. - Thanks.
Don't forget Berlin. They want to know more about Dubai.
Dubai called.
And?
They can't continue until they get more money.
Remco...
Do you have a moment?
Yes. I'll be right there.
Make an appointment at the bank. - Today?
Absolutely.
Fred. What's this about?
Have a seat, Remco.
We're going bankrupt, Remco.
Fred just got the quarterly figures back.
You and your numbers. We just started a new project.
We don't have a penny for it. Dubai has ruined us.
Dubai is bouncing back. - That's not true, Remco.
Dubai is a catastrophe, and you know it.
I have an appointment with the bank. They won't drop us.
Jesus, man! Get your head out of the sand!
You fucked it up, man. Completely fucked it up!
Mind your language, Wim. - It's the goddamned truth.
Guys, come on, calm down.
We have received an offer.
What kind of offer?
Akyan Capital Investments.
I don't have time for this. - Rem, just a moment!
They're Chinese. A big company. They're looking for a foothold in Europe.
This is their offer. Cash.
You and Ineke get your half. Fred and I get our.
That is 6 million euro each.
Have you been dealing behind my back?
You were busy with very... different things.
Bullshit!
How long has this been going on?
You're selling the company right under my nose!
Come on, Rem, we didn't have a choice. The company is about to collapse.
Well, let it collapse with you in it! There will be no sale here!
Fred!
Hey.
What are you doing here? - I've come to apologize.
I fibbed a little bit yesterday.
About what?
Akihito...
The radiant prince...
He... he doesn't exist.
Wim made him up. He thought it was funny.
But... what?
Remember? That one time.
That you counted how often I came?
Six... seven times?
Well, that time...
You're making that up.
We can do a test if you want.
You're going stand outside?
Ineke doesn't need to know, Remco.
Nobody wants to destroy your marriage. I like Ineke too much for that.
We'll wrap things up fairly. Nadja disappears never to be heard from again
Are you fucking her now? - No, we are partners.
You can't do this? This is blackmail, plain and simple!
Call it what you will. I call it a business deal.
Remco agrees to the takeover and Nadja disappears.
Too bad he'll never get to know his father.
Rem, take a moment to think about it.
I'd like to know by tomorrow if we can order Chinese.
Yes, Remco...
Sorry...
I didn't know anything about this, about Nadja.
It's a good match, this Akyan Group.
Idiot!
Tobias!
Dick... - Good morning.
Where you waiting for me? - Yes.
Because we're having lunch together. Hop in.
You're too late. I just made another appointment.
Oh. Good for you. With who?
With my mentor. Anatomy. We have exams next week.
Oh, I can help you with that.
But then I would have to dissect you.
Sounds sexy.
Normally we use corpses.
Hi, Merel.
Hi, Remco.
I thought Wim was such a good colleague of yours.
Yes, that's what I thought as well.
They can't simply sell the firm by themselves?
I mean, it's your company. - Half of it.
Ineke and I own 50% of the shares.
Fred and Wim own the other half.
That's not a majority.
No.
But...
They know something about me. Something, noone else knows.
Not about us, I hope?
No, no, no. They're not that smart.
What do they know?
The baby that Nadja is carrying...
It's mine.
congratulations.
Sorry, but I'm not sure how I feel about this.
If Ineke finds out, she will leave me.
Well, that's good.
Then we can take this further.
Do you think that is realistic? - No.
I'm one of your conquests, right?
What would you do if you were Ineke? - Leave you.
I was afraid of that.
Hey, where are you? - You're running late.
Sorry, my battery was dead. - You could have called.
I'm calling now. Where are you? - Turn around.
I already ordered for you.
When are you going to stop doing that? - Yeah, I know.
Yesterday you were almost comatose, if you can remember.
Definitely. And something weird happened when I was puking everywhere.
What? - There was a used tampon in the toilet.
It was supersized. And I mean super-super.
Ew - Yeah, it even floated.
It must have been Nadja's. She was in there and was about to flush.
Kind of unusual when you're 8 months pregnant, right?
Maybe she had a bloody nose?
Yeah, because that's when you stuff a giant tampon up your nose.
Then she could be miscarrying soon. - That would be so sad.
Well she said that the baby was dead already.
I'm going to the bathroom.
Can have I have another white wine, please. - Coming right up!
My dad just called.
He called your phone.
You left your bra.
Bitch.
Now I can see who you really are. - Lieke, listen...
I knew it. I knew it. You're fucking my father.
No, I just happened to... - You "just happened to"?
You "just happened to" sleep with him? And now you're lying about it.
Did he pay you with a moped?
You cheap whore!
A waste of good wine.
She's paying.
What a surprise, you're on time.
Hi, honey. It smells delicious.
Thanks.
Tobias, could you get Lieke? We're ready to sit down.
Lieke! Dinner!
I've got great news.
Lieke, I've got something to share.
Really?
I'm selling the company.
Are you serious?
A chinese company made an offer, an incredible offer.
They want to buy the whole thing.
Go for it, right? Or else we'll be stuck with that crap when you die.
How did those chinese find you?
Through Wim. He arranged everything.
I thought Wim only did what you tell him to?
Well, that was his own idea and he did an incredible job.
First-rate. - But why now?
I thought thinks were looking up.
Everyone gets 6 million Euro.
That's 12 million for us. Think what we could do with that money...
Buy a moped. - A moped?
We could easily afford that.
Merel just got a new moped, a blue one.
I want a red one.
Tobias, we're having dinner! - Not anymore.
Hey, let's do lunch.
With what?
what's this about?
Sure, I'll bring it along.
Okay. Bye.
Isn't strange, to this decide this overnight?
I'm going out for a little bit.
Where to? - A friend.
Probably Merel.
Why are you interested in Nadja? - I want to know where she lives.
Why? - Lieke told me this strange story.
What did she say? - When she was throwing up...
Sorry.
So Nadja..last name?
Van Romsbeek. That's what Lieke said.
Hey, that's really close.
It said second floor.
That should be hers. Click on "Satellite".
Further.
How do we get up there?
I'll lift you up. - Fine with me.
Yes!
There.
This looks like a good spot. - I think this is going to take a while.
You want to sit next to me?
Are we going to sit and wait all night?
If needed.
I've always wanted to spend a night with you.
I'm glad you came along.
So what do we do now?
Well...
What do we do now?
So?
Good?
Do it again.
Are you going to seduce my whole family today?
Consumer research.
Bingo!
Well, it's going to happen. I'm off.
Do you want me to go with you?
That's very sweet, but really not necessary.
We'll be ok with or without the 12 million, Rem.
We will but the company won't.
Tobias didn't come home last night? - He's still out helping his friend.
I'm going to Lieke.
Yes.
Merel.
Can we talk for a minute?
Sure.
Have a seat.
I have something to tell you.
That you're having an affair with my husband?
How did you know?
Do you think I'm stupid, Merel?
I've seen so many of Remco's girlfriends come and go.
And you're OK with that? - That's the way he is.
Always been like that, before we got married and after.
You shouldn't clip a bird's wings.
Would you like some coffee?
Yes. Black.
What do you think of me?
The secrecy annoys the hell out of me. For the rest...
All these girls get dumped after a few months.
Here you go.
Like Nadja. - Yes.
Like Nadja.
But Nadja is pregnant. That's a completely different story.
Remco knows that.
That is what I wanted to discuss.
Are you pregnant?
No.
But neither is Nadja.
Thanks. - Say hi for me.
You know, Merel, if I had to do it all over again,
I would still choose him.
Lieke never wants to see you again. - Tough.
Oh, the baby's coming!
Are you still angry? - Yes.
Apparently the only way to get a moped is to sleep with my dad.
Yummy.
You can borrow mine, but it's busted.
Jesus! Bitch.
Slut.
Thank you.
Hey, Maaike. - Hi.
Remco is in a meeting.
No problem. Could you take my coat, please?
Thank you.
You have to sign this, in threefold.
Remco, you agree with the takeover by Akyan
and Nadja relinquishes all claims regarding the baby.
Yes! - Paternity, etc.
Merci.
How much are you getting for this?
I would have done it for free.
After all the shit you pulled on me,
inside and outside of the bedroom.
Lookie here, honey!
Good morning, everybody.
Honey, what are you doing here?
I'm a partner in this firm.
This is an important moment.
Does dear Nadja have to be here?
Well, uhm...
Nadja is going to come back to work here after the birth.
Yes. In one month.
Oh, how lovely.
Well, congratulations.
Oh, I happen to have a gift for you with me. Here it is.
Ineke! - Jesus!
I think you're going to have to come up with something new, Wim.
Goddamned!
Remco, you can take it from here?
They're busy at the moment. Sorry.
Hands off!
I can press charges with this. We've got extortion, fraud...
But that's not what we'll do.
I want to resolve this differently, if Fred is up for it.
With that?
I've got lnekes power of attorney. With you, that gives us a majority.
We fire Wim.
Let me know which side you're on.
Rem?
Something incredible happened.
Everything worked out, thanks to Ineke.
Oh, really? Do tell.
I don't know how she found out, but Nadja wasn't pregnant.
Really? - She had a fake belly.
Ineke stabbed it, with scissors. Quite the scene.
That's bizar. What are you going to do now?
Wim is getting fired.
Nadja is going back to Japan.
And I've got a deal with the Chinese.
It's not a takeover but a merger.
Ineke really came through. You're lucky to have such a wife.
What are you doing?
I'm leaving.
But there's a bottle of champagne.
To celebrate.
Yes, but why are you leaving?
Because I'm dumping you. - Dumping?
Yes. You know, what you always do to your girlfriends.
It's not that hard actually. I'm even enjoying myself.
I already opened the champagne.
It's me. Want to do something fun tonight?
And? How did it go?
I'm free again!
Ewww! Stop that! Hey!
What are we doing?
Rammstein!
Where are they playing? - In Berlin!
You look very lovely.
Thank you.
You should do that more often, stab someone.
You're absolutely glowing.
Good evenign, madame.
Your husband has ordered an excellent Chablis. Would you like some?
Yes, please.
How did you know about her belly? - From your girlfriend.
Or from your ex-girlfriend, so I've heard.
How do you know that? - From Merel herself of course.
We don't keep secrets from each other.
Well then... to Merel.
Would you prefer something else?
There is a baby on the way, Rem.
Is Merel pregnant?
You?!
You said yourself, I'm glowing. - That's great, absolutely fantastic!
I wanted to tell you on your birthday, but Nadja got in the way.
You've made me a very happy man.
Really? That makes me glad.
Do you want to know who the father is?
