"THE BEAST" "Damn it, keep driving!" "Eveline?" "Oh, Mr Director." "I have a whole list of people who want to talk to you urgently." "I'm not available for anybody today." "But some matters are very urgent." "Ok, come in then." "Mr Karlsen already called for you twice." "Tell Karlsen I'm absent." "I need to figure a few things out." "Things are going wrong here." "That dawned on me because of a stupid accident." "I'll make sure they leave you alone." "But can you tell me what the subject should be of our next cultural event?" "There was mention of a photo exhibition." "Oh yes, the exhibition." "We need to have a big monetary prize." "The unliveable city would be a good subject." "I want to select the photos myself." "Have them made into slides." "Happy birthday!" "Blow them out." "1... 2... 3!" "Bibi has a present for you." "First unwrap the present." "First the present." "Mummy's putting the cake away before we have an accident." "Here's a note." "Congratulations." "Work a little bit harder on moral and writing." "So work harder on moral and writing!" "You're just like your mother." "She always had bad grades for that too." "Did you ever wash hair like this?" "Get your head under that thing then." "If someone ever says something nasty to you, just close your ears." "Harry?" "Yes." "I'd like you to read something." "Wait a moment, darling." "Read this letter, please." "Is it important?" "Our house?" "That's impossible." "Yes, really." "Did you talk to people in the street?" "Don't let them force you." "Anything's possible... with money." "A thousand allocations for social housing?" "I'll look after you, mother." "You're a good child, Harry." "But I don't want to become a burden to you." "Are we starting on the sausages or what?" "We're barbecuing." "Bibi!" "You wanted to talk to me about the exhibition?" "I guess you don't like the subject." "There's big news, Harry." "We're opening another club." "And this time without problems." "The big shots are in on it." "An old dream, Harry." "A childhood dream." "I have bad dreams since a couple of weeks." "I feel lousy." "Why, are there problems?" "How's business?" "Business is going well." "Too well, if you ask me." "Which project's making the biggest profit this year, Karlsen?" "You're the champion with Paradiso." "First class, Harry." "Did you know one of our customers committed suicide recently?" "We sold them hundreds of hectares of swamp as if it was a paradise." "The poor bastard invested his last money in that swamp." "And how many lose court cases against us?" "Little folk who worked for their money." "They pay for it with black money, Harry." "We steal from them what they stole from others." "Business has its own morals, doesn't it?" "The strongest wins." "And is that unfair?" "I want to do things differently." "What's wrong?" "Are you tired?" "You're overworked, aren't you?" "Our company's doing well." "We're growing and growing." "You're the coming man here." "You're successful." "Keep it together." "You need a holiday, don't you?" "Let's go hunting together." "That's something you have to experience." "That feeling of power." "One light touch of the trigger and you kill." "From a distance." "You don't understand it at all, Karlsen." "Don't walk out on me." "I've invested too much in you." "As if you were my own son." "But I'm grateful to you." "You can ask me anything." "Bastard." "I'm trying to find out..." "My mother's house is being expropriated." "I can't find out who's behind it, but I'm worried." "It's hard to move old trees." "Do you know who's behind it?" "Show me the house." "There." "There?" "Exactly there?" "Yes, what's the problem?" "We're in it with our own money." "It's our main building project." "Is that where City 100 will be?" "Is it that project?" "It was your decision too." "I've been had." "I signed that without knowing." "I didn't know it was that neighbourhood." "The city's most beautiful houses!" "Old houses, Harry." "No longer profitable." "Are you saying I'll be pulling down my mother's house?" "This project's worth millions." "Try to see things in proportion." "In proportion?" "You're the one who doesn't see things in proportion." "You don't see anything!" "Harry, we'll pay your mother well." "Generously." "She can build a new house." "Never!" "Over my dead body!" "I'm stopping this project, Karlsen." "Only I can decide that." "Hi, Harry." "Listen, Eveline." "Tell everybody no decisions can be made, no letters can be sent... and no phone calls can be made with regard to Karlsen's City 100 project." "I'm going to put this to the board." "That neighbourhood has to be saved." "For the city and for me." "Why the hell wasn't I informed better?" "Mr Karlsen and Martine won't be happy about that." "You know that Karlsen promised her an entire floor as a new love nest?" "I've had your raincoat cleaned." "It's like new." "Hello, darling." "I just came to show you something new." "You're an expensive woman." "An expensive mistress." "I'm way too young to be your wife." "I've told you before that I don't like it when you come here." "I've come to arrange a few things." "To keep an eye on things." "That Harry's badmouthing you to everybody about... that expropriation case." "I don't want you to lose face." "I know very well what to do." "You're the boss." "Mr Melchior, the board doesn't want to discuss the City 100 project again." "Karlsen sent everybody a memo to make sure everything continues." "The asshole." "Martine, I'd like to have dinner with you." "Martine!" "I was wrong about you, Harry." "You're a loser." "I don't have dinner with losers." "Hello madam." "We have to take everything away." "Your possessions will be put in storage." "Other lodgings have been arranged for you." "Everybody else in the street left voluntarily." "Why are you so stubborn?" "That's Charles, my husband." "That's Harry, in the army." "It's their house, do you understand?" "They belong here." "Do you understand?" "Mr Melchior, telephone." "It's your wife." "Should I forward it?" "Yes." "Lenie?" "What?" "Removed?" "She should refuse and not go." "She's already gone?" "My mother, Mrs Melchior." "Mrs Melchior!" "Mr Melchior, room 27!" "Eighth floor!" "Harry?" "Hello?" "Harry, answer me." "What are you doing there?" "There's nothing for you there anymore." "Harry..." "Harry, talk to me." "You can't change it anyway." "I know you can hear me!" "Why don't you answer?" "Mr Melchior!" "Mr Melchior!" "Come out!" "Come out, Mr Melchior!" "Nobody wants to hurt you." "You have one minute and then we'll come up!" "Mr Melchior, do you hear me?" "Are you Mrs Melchior?" "Yes." "Say something to him." "Harry, come out!" "Be smart." "It's me, Lenie." "Harry, come out!" "Harry?" "Daddy." "His fist!" "What does he have in his fist?" "Can't you act like a normal man?" "I see you want to be a star." "It's a late career start." "GENERAL INVESTMENT MANAGER WANTED TO STOP DEMOLITION" "I'm getting fed up with you, Melchior." "We don't need a clown like you." "I hope for your sake that my mother will live for a whole lot longer." "I also hope so for you, Melchior." "You're a whore." "One that you can never pay." "I bought a bit of everything." "We can invite the entire home to tea." "We can go." "I'm going to ask my mother to move in with us." "What?" "You're kidding." "It's impossible." "Our house is way too small." "She's been buried alive where she is." "Don't exaggerate." "I'll do anything for your mother, but we also have to think of ourselves." "This is asking for problems." "She's my mother." "She's always looked after me!" "That's over now." "We might have another child." "I'm not sure, but I could be pregnant." "Pregnant?" "And you tell me that now?" "I told you I'm not sure." "I don't want any more children." "Damn it, a traffic jam." "What time is it?" "Six o'clock." "Damn it, are you crazy?" "Stop right now!" "We all want to be home in time for dinner." "Better step aside or I'll run you over." "Can you behave like a normal person?" "What?" "You heard me." "What?" "Look at your wife." "She doesn't like it either." "I'm counting." "1... 2..." "Harry!" "3!" "Sit down." "Melchior, how do you feel?" "Would you like to drink something?" "Coffee." "You've gotten yourself into trouble." "Unbelievable for a man like you." "Advanced studies..." "Pilot..." "Declared unfit due to poor eyesight." "But they did give you a driving licence." "Married, one daughter..." "Is she a sweet child, Melchior?" "Executive staff member..." "You're successful in life and then you do something unreasonable." "Why?" "What day is it?" "It's Wednesday." "3 am." "The usual, Commissioner." "Thank you." "Fresh milk, lovely." "There's nothing better." "Don't you want a bit in your coffee?" "What am I doing here?" "Your sense of humour is indestructible." "On Saturday the 18th of July, at 6 pm... a man was deliberately run over on the highway... by a car with licence plate 986ZU... belonging to a certain Harry Melchior." "I didn't run anyone over." "The victim was hospitalised with light injuries." "He couldn't go to work for 14 days." "You've been lucky." "It could have been a lot worse." "He threw himself on my car." "He was trying to bring you to your senses!" "He did his duty as a citizen." "And you ran him over like a mangy dog." "You're a beast, Melchior." "You're the dangerous type!" "And we'll break you!" "I gave him the chance to step aside." "He didn't." "So he's the aggressor." "The judge will decide that." "The facts are what they are." "You disappoint me." "Most people defend themselves better." "You're not the smart type, Melchior." "We'll let you rest a bit more." "One, two..." "Hey, where's daddy?" "Where did daddy go?" "Look, here's daddy." "Mummy, can I go play?" "Yes, but be careful." "She just did a beautiful handstand." "I..." "When you were detained..." "Just spit it out... detained." "It helps." "Jail." "I asked your mother to move in with us after all." "But she said she doesn't want to." "No, she has her pride." "I can't force her." "If she'd wanted, she'd have lived with us now." "If!" "You're just like your mother." "You can't forgive any mistakes either." "I don't blame you for anything." "Everything should go the way it goes." "I've closed the chapter." "That's so good." "Then our new child will be a new beginning." "There is no new beginning." "But there is a new child." "Harry, I'm pregnant!" "Are you sure?" "Harry!" "I don't want a child." "The child's here." "It has to go." "You're crazy." "Mummy, mummy, look!" "Yes." "Harry." "Harry!" "What's the point of having a child here." "I'm not capable of raising another child." "I don't have the energy." "I don't believe in that world anymore." "You're lying." "You only love yourself." "I've spent four months in jail." "I've been thinking." "I know exactly what I want." "There's no way back." "What are you talking about?" "Harry!" "Harry!" "Listen." "I think we're both being powered by the same force." "I have a feeling that dominates almost everything." "I don't think we differ very much." "What are you talking about?" "Are these calyxes?" "Yes." "I knew you were coming." "I made coffee." "I know you worry about me, but there's no need to." "I can leave here if I want." "But I feel fine here." "You don't believe me, but it's true." "I have time to think about everything here." "Things I never had time to think about." "That makes me feel free." "Try to make the best of it." "Don't make any trouble." "Times are changing and you want to keep up." "You can do that." "You're talented." "Why aren't you saying anything?" "Don't worry about me." "I wish I didn't." "Lenie's expecting a baby." "It's also your child and my grandchild." "Promise not to make me sad." "You can't come in this way." "You have to report at the front desk." "I'm here for Mr Karlsen." "I think someone from the police is here." "He says he's here for Karlsen." "The prodigal son!" "Come, let me show you around." "Harry, what a surprise." "This will be a new Paradiso and don't tell me they won't get value for money." "You're an asshole, Karlsen." "You're a dog." "As of tomorrow, you'll take his place." "He can't be trusted anymore." "Yes." "Yes!" "A telegram for Mr Melchior." "Please." "MOTHER VERY ILL." "COME IMMEDIATELY." "LENIE" "Mr Melchior!" "She didn't suffer." "Karlsen!" "Let's go hunting together." "That's something you have to experience." "That feeling of power." "One light touch of the trigger and you kill." "From a distance." "Damn it, a stag!" "Guys, there's a stag here!" "The research team has reached the conclusion... that this was a revenge killing." "Among the victims are the General Investment company... its director Karlsen and a number of others." "Everything has been planned meticulously." "Further investigation should reveal more details." "This man is the suspected murderer." "His name is Harry Melchior." "The man suspected of the multiple murders two weeks ago... has not yet been found." "The police have put a dedicated team on this case." "Rumours that Harry Melchior has fled the country... aren't taken seriously by the police." "Daddy!" "Mummy, I saw daddy!" "Where?" "He's unfair." "But where did you see daddy?" "Martine!" "I'm a whore, just a common whore." "Help me lose." "No!" "Help me lose!" "Help me lose!" "Help me lose!"
