"Good morning, Michel." " Hello, Guido." "How are you?" " I'm fine, Guido." "Frankie rang yesterday." "That worries me, Michel." "He's come up with an idea." " That's okay." "One idea is better than zero ideas." " I couldn't make sense of it." "Pallemans." " Guido, Frankie speaking." "Hello there, Frankie." " Hi Michel, are you alright?" "I hear you had an idea." " That's why I'm calling." "Guido, would half past ten suit you?" " What?" "Our meeting." " What meeting?" "The one we arranged." "Is 10.30 okay?" " I suppose it is, Frankie." "I'll pencil it in." "In my planner." "Meeting with Guido at ten thirty." "See you later." "He's got himself all worked up." " He's just excited, that's all." "I know, Michel." "It's just that I was hoping to have a peaceful day today." "Episode 7 Judgement Day" "Such lovely weather." "This is great." "Tell him something and he'll say it backwards." "Really, Frankie?" " Wait." "Michel was in the filing department." "We used to do this every night." "My dad, my brother and I." "Funny." "Would you leave now, please?" "No, he means you should leave now, Sammy." "Sammy, will you stop it?" "Get out of here." "Calm down, Frankie." " I'm sorry." "I'm a little nervous." "I have to see Guido." "If Linda ever gets out of there." "Lots of companies have art exhibits." " No, I really don't want it." "Why not?" " All I want is to be left alone." "Please, Guido." "Roger is on the way." "Roger, my ex-husband." "You shouldn't have done that." " I thought it was okay." "It's not okay." "I don't want your paintings on these walls." "It's a mobile." " Makes no difference." "Can you finish off?" "It's ten thirty." " Frankie, I'm busy." "Then don't make appointments." " Two seconds please, Frankie?" "Two seconds." "I'll have to wait." "It's not up to me to make this decision." "I'll get back to you." " No, you won't." "Yes, it's on paper now." " You don't have the guts." "It's not a matter of guts, Linda." " At last." "May I?" "Frankie, not now..." "Take a seat." "You've got an idea?" "You sound so official." "It's me, Frankie." "Yes, I know." " So let's have a nice chat first." "Before the actual meeting." " I have very little time." "Will this take long?" " I don't know, Guido." "If that's your attitude, I'm off." " I'm sorry, Frankie." "Go ahead." "Let's hear it." " Listen." "Nolleke got me thinking." " Leave Nolleke out of it, please." "I've found out where she went wrong." "Can I use your whiteboard?" "If you must." "No, he won't allow it." "I didn't know that, did I?" "No, Roger." "Please, Roger." "Now he's angry." "Of course." "Let's go on." " I'll make it easy." "Don't you see?" "Wait." "Alain." " Now it's your turn." "Yes?" "Did you call my name?" "I'm so sorry." "This is really silly." "We were playing this little game." "He was impersonating someone and I guessed it was you." "Portraits?" " Is that what it's called?" "We used to play it all the time." "Can I give it a try?" "Let's see..." "Can we please not shout?" "Let's agree on that, shall we?" "Mrs Fartole." " That's it." "What happened to your hair?" "Nothing, Mrs Fartole." "We were playing a game, Free and Liesje and I." "It's nice to have fun." "But don't go over the top." "Let's agree on that, shall we?" "Of course, Mrs Fartole." " Mrs Fartole, can I have a word?" "Yes, Lea." " My name is Linda." "She nearly saw me impersonating her." "Did you see that?" "So in the end everyone will work harder and more joyfully." "See?" "No." " I'll give you an example." "Let's say that Free sets his margin on five files." "Then he challenges Anita." "He can only do that if Anita has reached her margin and hasn't been challenged by Michel." "Free can tell Anita:" "I challenge you to darts." "To a game of darts." "That's just one of the options." "Or he could opt for helicoptering or building a tower with text markers." "Frankie, it's too complicated." "And I don't want any darts flying around." "The darts game is just a detail." " Come in." "Lydia." " I'm sorry, we're having a meeting." "Frankie, please." "Do sit down." " Lydia, let me explain." "Can you leave us alone for a minute?" "I get it, Guido." "I'll think again before I come up with an idea." "Don't slam the..." "Frankie Loosveld." " Nolleke rang this morning." "I've..." "I've read her book." "All of it." "It was very interesting." " She wasn't happy." "She says Michel Drets left halfway through the session." "I didn't know." " You did." "Yes, I did." "But I didn't know it was halfway through." "Can you call Michel in, Guido?" "Right now." "Roger?" "It's me again." "Listen, it's been allowed." "Really, it's been allowed." "I went to a senior manager and she okayed it." "How soon can you come?" "No, Michel." "But I don't think you treated Nolleke very respectfully." "You think so, Guido?" " I think so too, Michel." "Alain is making new friends, Linda is bursting with ideas." "I think Nolleke did a good job and I regret that certain parties are putting that down." "And one of those parties is you." "I've said what I had to say, Guido." "Well then, thank you, Michel." "So let bygones be bygones, okay?" "Let bygones be bygones?" "Okay." "May I go now?" " Fine with me." "He's a fine employee, you know." " Yes." "But he should obey, Guido." "What's wrong, Michel?" " What's wrong?" "Let me tell you." "I was humiliated." "And I don't like that." "The moment Linda Fartole leaves this office, I'll punch Guido's face." "Please." " May I?" "You may not." "You'll keep your mouth shut." "One word is stronger than a hundred fists." "I'm going to hit you." " Maybe you should..." "I'm sorry." "I had to say it." "Guido?" " I'm sorry, you were saying?" "Sammy Tanghe." " Sammy, yes." "He's over there, with Exports." "He gave Nolleke a most unpleasant feeling." "Sammy did?" "How strange." "She had never felt it before and she was at a loss with it." "Frankie, stop that." " Frankie, stop that." "As if nothing matters to me." " What is it?" "You just said you were going to beat Guido up." "I won't do that." "I've never hit a person yet." "But he needs a lesson." "Sammy, Mrs Fartole wants to meet you." " Really?" "Thank you." "So you are Sammy Tanghe." " Yes." "I have been for 36 years." "I couldn't put a face on you." " Wait, I'll remove it for you." "I'm not really doing it." "Take it easy, Sammy." " Yes, I'm sorry." "Was there anything else?" " No, thank you." "Then why did you call me in?" " Mrs Fartole wanted to meet you." "I see." "Maybe we can have lunch some time." "Sammy, I think that will be all." "Thank you for wanting to meet me, Mrs Fartole." "So that's Sammy Tanghe." "The hairs on my arms are standing up." "I'm scared of that man." "Of Sammy?" " I have the weirdest feeling." "Now I understand Nolleke." "There's something about him." "I'll be upstairs, Guido." "I'll call you later." "If you ever do that again, you won't know what hit you." "Don't but me." "Did you think you could treat me like a baby?" "If you want people to walk all over you, fine." "But leave me out of it." "Write it down in your silly book." "You can count me out." "Yes, take the easy way out." "I'm riding home with Frankie." "And then you take a right turn." "You can see the signs, can't you?" "Cynalco." "I'll be waiting outside." "I'll be outside for a minute." "Hi, Free." "Is this a bad time?" "No, it isn't." " May I?" "Sit down." "Something you want to ask?" " No, I'm just visiting." "It's a bit tense between Michel and Guido, so Frankie wanted to talk." "And you were sent out." " I wouldn't say..." "I hurt my finger on the coffee-maker." " On that sharp edge?" "Not your mouse finger?" "What's that you said?" "I mean, the finger you use to move your mouse." "I'm in trouble again." " Alain, I know what you mean." "I'm just teasing you." "I almost didn't believe myself." "It's not my mouse finger." " Are you left-handed?" "Liesje, no." "As soon as you've reached your limit, you can challenge Thingy over there, to some helicoptering." "Helicoptering?" " That's right." "Swivelling around on your chair as often as you can." "Suppose you meet the challenge." "You'll get double points, if you staked your joker." "The points will come in handy at the next limit." "So the harder you work, the more points you collect." "Great plan, Frankie." " You think so, Michel?" "Brilliant." " Really?" "Isn't it too complicated?" "Complicated?" "On the contrary." "It's very clear." "I knew it was right." "Good heavens." "Michel thinks it's an excellent plan." " Does he?" "Michel, can you come to my office?" "Right now." "Now all we need to do is to communicate this thing efficiently." "Frankie, will you leave us alone for a minute?" "Will you please not fight again?" "I really can't take it." "Alright, Frankie." " Thanks." "Then I'll go and copy my plan." " No, Frankie." "Michel, don't do this." " What?" "Don't involve Frankie in this." " I don't, Guido." "Yes, you support his plan." "You know perfectly well that it's worthless." "Don't be like this." " You still don't seem to realise how you made me feel." " Don't let that bother you." "It does bother me." "I get reprimanded by that silly cow because I walked out on this other silly cow, and you simply sat there and didn't do a thing about it." "Guido, can you come upstairs now?" " That's a bit of a problem, Lydia." "Right now." "Fartole?" " Yes, I'm expected upstairs." "Of course." "When the master calls..." "Yes, Michel." "When the master calls." "Say what you will, but she's my boss and I respect her." "And I expect the same from you." "I'm still your boss." "No, wrong direction." "Do you want to talk about it?" "I'm just offering." "Be careful, Roger." " I am careful." "Not enough." " I can't be more careful than this." "Yes, you can." "You should have wrapped it in a blanket." "I didn't have to come, you know." " I'm sorry, Roger." "Check his date of birth, Guido." "01-06-66." " Six six six." "Now check his autograph." "Yes, Sammy Tanghe." " Leave out the small characters." "Satan." "The devil, Guido." "It's worse than I had expected." "Let's say you haven't reached your limit yet." "But I have, and I challenge you." "You can refuse, not having reached the limit." "Or else you can stake your limit on the challenge, get it?" "But only if...?" "If you're winning." "Only if you win." "Telephone." "Alain, this is Lydia." "Guido is here too, he's listening in." "Hello, Alain." " Hello, Guido." "Guido tells me that you see Sammy Tanghe a lot." "A lot?" "Well..." " Did you notice anything special?" "About Sammy?" " Not really, right?" "Guido, be quiet." " Well, Sammy has a habit of suddenly appearing behind you." "He just pops up." "They sometimes call him The Snake." " He wears silent shoes." "Speak of the devil..." "He can do a special trick." "Do your funny talk, come on." "Come on, Sammy." "Do it." "Who was that?" " Mrs Fartole." "Alain, for heaven's sake." "What did she want to know?" "Nothing special." " Hello there." "What's all that about?" "Lydia, I really think this is a series of coincidences." "There are no coincidences." "Certainly not in Sammy Tanghe's world." "Yes, Fien?" " It's almost two." "Your meeting." "Go back downstairs and don't do anything for now." "I wasn't going to." " And Guido?" "Be careful." "This spot is for my dartboard." " What dartboard?" "That will be explained." "Guido, this just won't do." "What is that?" " My work." "I didn't authorise this." " No, but Mrs Fartole did." "Did she now?" " This spot is for my dartboard." "Didn't you know, Linda?" "That's Frankie's spot for darts." "Anita, why don't you hang out the washing as well?" "Take it easy, Guido." " Frankie, go sit down." "This thing has to go." "Now what?" "I think it's me." " Who's that?" "Roger, my ex." " My computer..." "Not now." "What have you done to my power?" "I think I drilled into something." " And why?" "The mobile needs a transformer." "Is there a technician?" "No, there isn't." "Now leave." "Get out, immediately." "Then it won't work." " Just take it out." "First it's out, then it's in, now it's out again." "I won't be pushed around." "I'm out of here." "No, this has to go out with you." " Guido?" "The light's out over here." " I know, Michel." "What's that?" "Who's there?" "Sammy?" "Is that you?" "Yes, Guido, it's me." "I bumped into the washbasin." "What did Mrs Fartole want to know?" " Sammy, please don't ask." "But I want to know." " Not now, not now." "Please, Guido." "Is everything under control, Guido?" "Are you alright, Guido?" "Guido is not okay." " That's his own fault." "And now leave it be." " You're stubborn as a mule." "What did you say?" " I'm leaving already." "No, Alain." "Sit down." "I think you're right." "Okay." "Let's hear it then." "Michel, I know exactly why I didn't replace this photograph." "Im sorry for Alain, but I miss the friendship that the three of us had." "I do understand." " And I think it's a shame..." "Where are you going?" " To Nalaerts, to spill it all." "To Nalaerts?" "Calm down first." "I'm following him." "He's much too excited." "The best thing we can do for Guido is to make my plan work." "You think so, Frankie?" " Let's all meet in the kitchen." "No, I don't get it." "Why does he have to wait for parts that are available, because the paperwork isn't done?" " Yes, that's a problem, Mr Nalaerts." "But I'm working on it." " You always say that." "I'd like to say that Administration is an enormously dynamic department." "No, it's not." "We just told you, there's no progress." "None." "May I finish?" "I was saying that we're enormously dynamic, but I've found out today why this doesn't yield any results." "Yes?" "Go on." "I'd like to discuss that in private with you." "Why?" " I don't want to create a panic." "My dear Lydia, we're discussing Administration." "I think there's a lot more at stake than just Administration." "Alright." "I'll see you later on." "What's the next item?" "I've waited too long already." " But he's in a meeting." "Then interrupt the meeting." "No, not him." "What are you doing here?" "Don't interfere." "Calm down." " I am calm, Michel." "I just want to see Nalaerts." " He'll be here in ten minutes." "Ten minutes." "I'll be waiting right here." "Excuse him, he's just a little..." "After some time, each one will have challenged each one." "Finally we add up all the points, we subtract the failed limits, and then we calculate the average." "So, any questions?" "Is this obligatory?" " No, it's not." "If you're as enthusiastic as that, don't join in." "Thank you." "Go ahead, Alain." "I'm challenging Free." " Great." "We're off already." "Do you accept?" " For a game of darts." "Then what's your limit?" " I'm not with you." "You've got the rules." "Limit five, six or seven?" "Six?" " Six?" "So you're playing double, right?" " Yes, double." "So what do I do?" " I'll come and get you, Free." "That's the spirit." "Any more questions?" "Where's Guido?" " He's out for the moment." "Please try to calm down." "I'm not sitting here for your sake, I'm here for my sake." "In seven minutes I'll tell Nalaerts I'm through working with Fartole." "Finally." "I would have done that ages ago." "Michel would have done it, he would have said it." "Michel is all blah blah blah." "And don't shush me." "Fartole thinks that Sammy Tanghe is Satan." "What?" "Sammy." "I've come to challenge you." " That's too bad." "I have to get to the hospital with this knee." "Maybe later on." "Anita, I challenge you to a helicopter, limit five." "Plus joker, double points, starting now." "God job, it's hardly visible." "Fortunately the inner frame was intact." "Did it take him long?" " I don't think so." "Can you spare me a moment now?" " Yes, Linda." "I owe you a drink." "Thank you." "Go ahead." " This has to do with..." "Mr Pallemans is waiting." " Who?" "Guido Pallemans, Administration." " I'll be there in a minute." "Let's hear it." " About Sammy Tanghe." "Who?" "Michel, go back downstairs." " No, I'm staying with you." "I'm perfectly able to explain it all." "Are you going to explain how I felt in your office?" "This is not about you." " We'll just see about that." "But it's quite clear." " What is?" "Look." "S-a-t-a..." " So what you're saying is that Satan, the devil himself, works at Cynalco's Administration and that his name is Sammy?" "Come on." "Let's go downstairs." "Six." "Seven." "Eight." "Nine." "Ten." "Eleven." "Eleven and a half." "Not enough." "I had sixteen." "Want to double it?" "It's in the rules." "After the first challenge, you can double." "Do you want to?" "No?" "Alain, I won." " Well done, Frankie." "Now watch." "There you are, 72." " Are you using two darts?" "The rules say:" "One throw." "They don't say:" "One dart." "You've got to be smart." "Your turn." "Come on." " And he talks backwards." "Lydia, be quiet." "Sophie, I'll be at Administration." "Send this Pallemans over there." "Mr Pallemans?" "Mr Nalaerts will see you at Administration." "Is he with us?" "This way, man." "It's not working, is it?" "I'll teach you how." "It's not just the points that have to be aligned, but the flights too." "Give it a try." "Liesje, come over here." "You'll have a better view." "Hold the flights between thumb and index, and go." "Let's have it." "What is it?" "What is it?" " I'm so sorry, Sammy." "About what?" " Sammy..." "That's him." "That's him." " Shut up." "Go stand over there." "Right." "Are you Sammy Tanghe?" " Yes." "Why do you have darts in your head?" " Free threw them." "Who's Free?" "Did you throw darts at his head?" "By accident." " Why did you throw darts?" "Alain challenged me." " Who's that?" "I am." " What did you do?" "I challenged him at Frankie's game." " Who's Frankie?" "I am, sir." " Is this your idea?" "I was only trying to improve the atmosphere at the office." "What on earth is going on here?" "What's that?" " I made it." "And who are you?" " Linda Hombroeckx." "Are you Guido Pallemans?" " No, he is." "Are you Pallemans?" "I need to speak to you." "In your office." "Right." "Lydia?" " She just ran out." "Out." "Right." "You, go get Lydia and bring her upstairs." "You, take him to a doctor." "You, take that board down." "You, put that thing in the dumpster." "You, bring me some coffee." "Black." "And you, get to work." "Sammy, I don't have a car." " I'll drive myself." "I'm so sorry." "We had a good thing going." "It worked, we were all happy." "Were we, Frankie?" " Why did it have to go wrong?" "I'm sorry, Michel." "Hurry up." "Mr Nalaerts, I must apologise." "It all got slightly out of hand." " Yes, to say the least." "I take the blame, it's all my fault." "Yes?" "There you are." "And I thought I might bring..." "No, just coffee." "Mr Nalaerts, may I take part in this conversation?" "No, you may not." " No." "Of course not." "Listen, Pallemans." "I have one major talent." "I'm very good at judging situations." "Mrs Fartole is obviously in need of some rest." "But I also know for sure that you are not the right man for this job." "Do you agree?" "Yes, Mr Nalaerts." "I agree." "I totally agree." "It's absolutely true, what you just said." "I can't do it, I simply can't do it." "I just want peace." "We'll make sure you get some." " Thank you." "You're a warm human being." " That's alright." "Now let go." "Right now." " I'm sorry." "I beg your pardon." "Hello, Alain." " Are you alright, Mrs Fartole?" "I'm fine." " He asked me to bring you in." "I'll sit here for a while." " But I'm supposed to bring you..." "Close your eyes for a second." "Close your eyes." "Can you hear it?" " What?" "The sea." "Can you hear it?" "I think that's the motorway." "It's the sea, Alain." "Let's agree on that, shall we?" "Yes, Mrs Fartole."
