"Episode 13:" "The End" "Who's that?" "I don't know." "I saw it and..." "Do you like it?" " Yes." "You shouldn't have." "I'm glad you came." "Here's your tickets." " Thanks." "Give a shout if you need anything." " Okay." "Hi, Linda." " Bucky, you're here." "I wouldn't be here if not." " No." "Guys, everything all right?" " Yes, Liesje." "I'd never have thought that you would dance like that." "When he promises something he really delivers." "Wasn't it childish?" " No, it was good." "Thanks." "It's been a long time." "And I can feel it." "That's the first time I see you laugh." "Really?" " It's true, isn't it?" "I know, Liesje." "I should do it more often." "There he is." "I haven't seen you much." " Could you come with me for a sec?" "Something wrong?" " No." "If I'm not back within 24 hours, send a rescue party." "I think the picture conveys a certain symbolic message." "The lighting's good." " Wow, Linda." "You know about art?" "I dabble a bit in it myself." " I thought so." "Did you?" "It's small stuff, really." "Mobiles." "Mobiles?" "I want to know more about that." "Really?" "I have to take this." "I'll be right with you." "But come back." "Bucky." " Not now." "Hasselbanks." "Give him my regards." " Mine too." "Not that I know him but still..." "How was it?" " Perfect, man." "You should have stayed away longer." " How long did you work?" "No." "I did my duty." "Nothing more." "You gave me a full floor, I'm handing it back full." "The people enjoyed it." " Cheers." "No, you." "Respect." "Busy." "Here he is." "Yes." "I'm gonna run to you." "It was good, man." "I really enjoyed myself." " So did I." "Good music." "Thank you." "I had them in my pocket." "It's a young audience." "Is this the last one?" " It's only beginning." "No, Guido's right." "Let's quit while we're still ahead." "Yes, Michel, all right." " Beer, please." "I've got some tickets left." "Beer." "Sorry, Alain." "Is it bad?" " No, just your hair a bit." "Guys, I'm sorry." "Really sorry." " Why are you always so negative?" "I knew something like this would happen." "That's not true." "Don't say that." "This is the first bash I went to without Isabelle." "And then you drink a bit and fall asleep against a brazier." "It's Isabelle's fault." " Forget about her." "You're too pessimistic, Alain." " I know, Liesje." "I'm too emotional." "I'm sorry." " Not at all." "How did you get here?" "With Sammy." "Linda, did you see Alain?" " What?" "Did you see Alain?" " No, haven't seen him." "Ho, Bucky." "I'm here." "Is this the living room?" " Yes, it's very strange." "We used to have the same chair at home." "Really?" " Yes." "I still remember mum..." "Linda, I've got some bad news." "What?" " Yes, I can't stay." "Oh no." "A conference call with the States." "Too bad." " I know, but that's who I am." "Cynalco practically runs my life." "I wasn't going to stay late." " There you are." "It was a very pleasant evening." "A what?" " A pleasant evening." "Thanks." " Sorry." "You know you are the only one who could replace Isabelle." "Alain." " Yes Liesje, it's true." "If I wouldn't respect Free so much I would already have asked you out." "What have I got to do with it?" " Come on, Free..." "I'm not blind, you know." "I see what happens around me." "I want you to know that I support you fully." "I really haven't got a clue." "Sammy." " Here you are." "I didn't see you..." "What have you done?" "Good music, Frankie." " Thanks, Bucky." "I liked the Michel I saw tonight." "So did I." " Well done." "I'm glad we all saw another Michel." " I really hope so, Bucky." "I'm looking forward to Monday." " So am I." "Well done, Michel." "Guys." "Great, man." "Are you sure you'll be all right?" " Let's hope so, Liesje." "You two are fantastic people." "Really." " It's true." "You too, Sammy." " It's all right, Alain." "Thanks for taking care of him." " Wood Clappers." "Are you all right, Alain?" "So you don't have a clue, do you?" " What?" "Come here." "Shall we go home?" "Yes." " I need to say bye to the DJ." "Don't make it too long." "Right, I'll go and pee first." "Call me." "Great, Michel." "Michel Drets." "Hi, Marianne?" "It's me, Guido." "It was very nice." "Michel has gone to the loo." "No, I've got to take them home first." "Take my coat and come to the car." " What?" "Where's Michel?" " We've got to go to the car." "Come on Michel." "Where is he?" "I would have liked to play 'Tears in Heaven'." "What?" " Tears in Heaven." "Don't know it." "Ah yes." " Clapton." "For Lesley." "Bastard." "Frankie, Lesley is nothing more than a doll with a computer." "But that's it." "How is Michel ever going to trust me with his real child?" "Start the car and take me home." "What's wrong?" " Nothing." "Take me home." "But Michel..." " Frankie, shut up." "Start the car." "What now?" " I don't know." "You started it." "Is that the way you want to play it?" " No, but it is true." "It'll be really funny." " I think so too." "Tell me what's going on so I can help." "I don't need any help." " Michel." "Good morning, gentlemen." " Frankie." "What's wrong?" " No idea." "He isn't talking." " How's that?" "I called him..." "Nothing." "And he didn't say a word in the car." "Something happened at that party." "Michel, Frankie..." " No, Frankie, not now." "I'm not having it, Michel." "Stay here." " He can't bottle it up." "We'd better leave him alone." "He'll manage." "We were all doing so fine." "Michel." "Come on." "Don't fall over, guys." " Alain, is that you?" "Sit down." "Ready?" "Voilà." "Le nouveau Alain est arrivé." "What's that?" " I singed my hair at the party." "I fell asleep next to a brazier and my hair got burnt." "Alain, why didn't you call?" " I didn't want to disturb you." "I like it." "I even like it better." " I'm also pleased with the result." "And when I cut my hair I also cut my strings to the past." "It really was time for that." "But don't be afraid." "I might look different but I'm still the same guy:" "Alain Vandam." "I've got a very bad feeling about today." "Phone me, bastard." "I'm not going to call you." "You don't deserve that." "Call me if you dare." "Coward." "Michel, Tony from Maintenance here." "Need a talk?" " Tony, I'm really busy right now." "But you're always busy." " I need to keep the lines free." "Can I call you back?" " Fine." "Drets." "Hello?" " Morning, Michel." "What are you playing at, bastard?" " Calm down, Michel." "He hung up." "I'll come and tell it right to your face." "You don't know whom you're dealing with." "Drets." " Could you come upstairs right away?" "What's eating him?" " We don't know." "I can't take much more of this." " Calm down, Frankie." "Sorry, Michel, it was very urgent." "How are you?" "Turn off those fishes." " What?" "Turn off the noise of those fishes." "Mute." "Why didn't you answer my calls?" "Not in the weekend." "What's wrong?" " You know very well." "Why did you give Liesje that picture?" "Good, isn't it?" " Good?" "Come on." "The idea that everybody is looking at it but only we know who that is..." "Man, doesn't that give you a kick?" "But it's been stolen." "Did you know that?" "You, Michel?" " You're sick." "Hola." " You're pathetic." "I'm not going to let you make a fool of me." "You can't touch me any more." " Sit down." "You can kiss my ass, Bucky." "Really?" "Yes." " That's fantastic." "Good, isn't it?" " Great guys." "I'm gonna cry." " No, Linda." "Be happy." "But I am happy, Liesje." " Come on." "An e-mail from Bucky?" " From Bucky?" "Hela." " What does it say?" "'Liesje, I've heard your picture was stolen." "If you click here you'll have it as a screensaver.'" "I really like that picture." " If he can mail, he can phone." "Bucky...?" " Are you jealous already?" "Yes, Fien?" "Linda Hombroeckx on the line." " No, thank you." "Isn't he in?" "All right, thank you." "What's the matter, Frankie?" " Nothing." "You really don't have to worry." "But you're acting so strange." "It was a dip." "It's taken care of." "I feel fine." " Michel, you can always talk to us." "I know, Frankie." "I know." " That's great, Michel." "Great." "Where are your sidekicks?" "Alain is in the bathroom and Guido at desk 3." "Okay, but it is a situation." "You're sitting here as a couple." "We don't have any problems with that and neither has Linda." "What do I do now?" "Do I tell Michel?" "Shouldn't you wait a bit?" "We're not 16 anymore." "We talked about it." "I believe you but it's Michel I'm thinking about." "He's acting so queer." "Queer?" "There's something wrong." " Nothing's wrong, Guido." "Sorry that I didn't come and greet you." "How is everything?" "Fine." "And how are you, Linda?" " I'm fine, Michel." "How did your party go, Liesje?" "Well?" "Very well." "A bit too well, as a matter of fact." "Liesje has got something to tell you." "You're kidding." " No." "Out of the blue." "After you left." " Are you serious about this?" "Yes." "I would never have thought so either, but..." "We were together the whole weekend." "It works." "Free, congratulations." " Thanks." "Are you all right, Alain?" " I'm talking to Free, Sammy." "Okay." "Great, man." "Really?" " Of course." "I wanted to tell you before someone else told you." "That's very nice of you." "You've got all my support." "Thanks." " And mine too." "What do you think, Liesje?" " It won't be a problem." "I don't want to sit somewhere else." "What about you, Linda?" " I think it's great." "There he is." "Hi, Free." "Well..." "Congratulations." " Thank you." "Bravo." "What's the matter?" " I've told them." "Do you mind sitting at the same desk as Liesje?" "Not at all." " Well, there's no problem then." "Then I just want to wish you all the best." "So official..." "Liesje, that's great." "I told Free." " Thank you." "How very nice." " Yes, we're glad too." "Did you know it's because of you?" "Really..." "We were sitting outside..." "You handled this very well." "Things are looking better." "I have to make a phone call." "Liesje, what's that?" " That?" "Bucky sent me that." "He gave me the picture but someone stole it at the party." "Stole it?" "Guido, leave me alone." "Leave me alone." "I'm busy." "Michel, I'm not leaving before you've told me what's going on." "How did you end up in the water in your underpants?" "Yes, Fien?" "Linda Hombroeckx again." " Not now." "You know there's a staff meeting in one and a half minutes?" "Yes, I know." "Thank you." "Leave it like that, Luc." "Sorry." "Hi, everybody." "It's cold here." "Is the AC on?" "It's broken." " Remote control, isn't it?" "Where is it?" " Laplasse, we've sent for someone." "No, there is no other room." "Sit down so we can begin." "Sorry, Rik." "Sorry, everybody." "Michel, why didn't you tell us?" " It's something between him and me." "Go and see Nallaerts." " What?" "And what do you want me to tell him?" "'That's me there.'" "'I'm that stupid fool in the water.' No." "That's what Bucky wants." "When did this happen?" "The day Lesley was here." " Boy, wait till Frankie hears this." "Michel, you should have told us or Nallaerts." "I'm not seeing Nallaerts." "You can't win this." "Do you think he'll stop?" "Guido, as long as my work is done Bucky can't touch me." "There's no system." "You keep telling us it'll get better but it's getting worse." "I didn't get four whole loads because there were no transport papers." "I'll report it." " Fine." "What?" "It's no use." "Those transport papers were ready but we don't get them because there's no system." "What do you think?" "Do you think I don't know why things aren't running smoothly?" "Then do something." "What's your problem?" "My problem?" "You all know him." "Michel Drets." "That's my problem." "Sorry, sorry." "Sorry." "I dropped my spanner." "Can you solve it?" " Yes, I think I know what's wrong." "So your problem is Drets?" "But you told me you were so pleased about him?" "That's what I thought but he's impossible to work with." "If you won't, then I'll go to Nallaerts." "I'll take care of it." " Don't be so stubborn." "Tony here, I'm at..." " Tony, I'm busy." "Michel." "Who was that?" " It was Tony Paillaert." "He phones me because I sent my picture to everybody." "Now whole Cynalco knows who I am." " Michel..." "Michel, don't hang up." "And then someone wants to organize a quiz." "So what does Drets do?" "He allows it." "And when I ask about it, he tells me to mind my own business." "Something's eating you, Alain." " Yes, Frankie." "Tell me." " I've learnt a lot this weekend." "I've chosen a path and now I have to follow it." "It will be difficult but I must keep on going." "That's great, Alain." "I only need plasters." "For when I fall." "Alain, I really want to help you but I don't want to hear that laugh." " Isn't it right?" "No, Alain." "You just can't change your laugh." "Try again." "No, Alain." "Try again." "No." "Again?" "Alain, we're back." "Frankie Loosveld." "Is this the administration?" " Who's this talking?" "Tony Paillaert, Maintenance." "I'm in the Vivaldi room." "Tell Michel to come and listen." " Hello?" "Hello?" "What's wrong?" " Shush." "It's mainly fear of failure, and a lack of initiative... but it's mainly, I'm sorry to say, incompetence." "Frankie, what's wrong?" "What's wrong?" " Michel, listen to this." "Michel Drets is absolutely not popular." "Who's that?" " Bucky." "Where?" " In the Vivaldi room." "How come you can...?" "Take that identikit for example." "I asked him:" "'Are you sure about that?" "'" "But yes, he just had to send us his picture so we would know who he was." "I imagine everyone got it?" "There's a friend behind the paper." "Laplasse, you can put a stop to all this." "I know, Rik." "But I want to give people a second chance." "And I've got to concede that I was wrong were Drets is concerned." "You filthy liar." "Michel." "No, Frankie, he has to do this on his own." "What's going on there?" " Michel?" "Michel?" "Michel." "He's on his way." "Frankie Loosveld here." "Identify yourself." "Tony Paillaert." "I'm working on the AC." "I heard them talking about Michel." "Right, Tony." "You're our man inside." "Keep us posted." " All right." "So... you propose to fire Michel Drets?" "I'm really very sorry, but... yes." "It's the only way to get things rolling in Administration." "What's up?" " They're gonna fire Michel." "Laplasse, you've been going on about Michel Drets for ten minutes." "But you still haven't convinced me that Drets is the problem and you haven't given me one single argument to fire him." "Bastard?" "Where are you?" "What do you think?" "That you can keep pushing my button?" "Drets, come down." "Shut up." " What?" "You are all alike." "You're all rotten inside." "I think I'm standing in the bread rolls." "That's all right, Michel." "Do you want to come down?" "Come on." "Easy..." "What's happening, Guido?" "I hope he'll tell it, Frankie." "It's not true, he's lying." "The picture was his idea." "And there's another picture, in my underpants." "He gave it to Liesje." "The bastard is systematically thwarting me." "And I can't take it anymore." "Everybody out, please." "Not you." "Is that Michel in that picture?" "Yes, Liesje." " No way." "Yes." "Bucky put him there, in the water, and he had to strip to get back." "What?" "When did that happen?" "Guido." "When did that happen?" " The day Lesley died." "Did Bucky leave Michel on a pole in the water?" "I've got to stop him." "That ugly little bastard." "Where are they?" "In the Vivaldi room." "All right." "Come on, you." "Your brain says no but your heart says yes." "Go, Alain." "Alain?" "Alain, wait." "Where's everybody?" " After Bucky." "The picture Bucky gave Liesje..." "that's Michel." "What?" "I don't work with weak men." " Laplasse, shut up." "And about my methods..." " Shut up." "Before we go on..." "How did you know we were talking about you?" "Come on, Michel." "We can take them." "No." "I'll take the black one." " Who are you?" "Tony, a friend of Michel's." "And I don't like this." "Guys..." " Let's beat the shit out of them." "Tony..." " Would you like one?" "Careful, Rik." " Tony, you're not helping me." "Murderer." "Lesley died because of you." "What?" " Who?" "Why didn't you tell us?" " That's the one with the quiz, Rik." "Pallemans, what are you doing here?" " I followed Frankie." "Who's Wesley?" " Lesley." "I've come to support Michel." "You're a disgrace to the company." "Careful." " What...?" "Come, there's four of us now." "Everybody, quiet." "What kind of sick bastard are you?" "Sending me that picture." "Sourpuss ahead." " What did you say?" "I didn't know, honest." " I know, Liesje." "Are you expecting more people?" " It's here." "One question, Bucky." "Do you play games with everybody?" "Is that what I am?" "A game?" " We'll be able to solve this." "Mr. Nallaerts, Michel is a good boss." "Who are you?" " I used to have long hair." "He's changed." " Quiet." "Sorry Sir..." " No." "You have all given me a clear signal." "Thank you very much." "But now I'd like everybody to go back to work." " But..." "Drets, Laplasse, in my office." "Now." "Are you all right, Michel?" "See you." "Frankie, no." "Don't do it." "Frankie, calm down." "I think it would be wise if we all went back to our desks." "Hasselbanks will never believe me when I tell him about this." "You think so?" " I'm sure of it." "We'll know right away." "I'm putting a call through." "Yes, Sofie?" " Mr. Hasselbanks." "Thank you." "Hello, Robert." "You've got exactly 15 minutes to leave the premises." "That's 900 seconds." "That should be ample time." "I'm sorry that's your decision." "Thank you, Rik." "Well?" "I won't easily forget you." "Come on." "Too late." "Cynal-gogo-gogo-gogo." "Go!" "Why didn't you come to me earlier?" "You said: 'The less we see each other, the better.'" "Did I say that?" " Yes." "I was wrong." "I'm sorry, Michel." "Is there anything else I can do for you?" "No." "Thank you." "I've got to get back to my floor." "Sofie?" "Could you bring me an aspirin, please?" "Thank you." "So sweet." "4 months later" "Little Lesley Drets." "He's..." "He's beautiful." "Michel, come on." "Thank you." "Thank you." "We thought we would come and show him to you." "Very nice, Michel." "Very nice." "Would you like to hold him, Frankie?" " No." "Better not." "Yes." " No, better not." "It's all right." "I want three, Free." "This is too much for me." "Could you hold me, Alain?" "Hello." "Hello." "Could I please ask you not to run around and to sit down?" "Shall we agree on that?" "Ad Hoekstra is fucked." "That's why that network is so important, Ad." "Do you get the picture, Ad?" "I'm afraid I don't get it, Bucky." " Open your mail." "That's your Identikit, Ad." "You can send it to everybody." " Everybody?" "Yes." " All right."
