"We're closed." "Don't be a pain in the ass, eh?" "Right or left?" " Right." "Into the jungle." "That's what wounded tigers always do." "Is Hugo awake yet?" "And Lisa ?" "It's the same thing every morning..." "Lisa, eggs." "Speak your mother's tongue, damn it." "Get your ass out of bed" "Breakfast in 5 minutes." "And turn off that thing." "Turn it off." "The news is on soon." " Turn it down, and sit at the table." "We pray here first." "Still." "Shut your mouths and listen." "I said: shut your mouths, yours included." "Sit or do we have to bury you today?" "Your chair for my friend." "Your chair." "Nice isn't it?" "Some guests for a few days." "My friend is holding a 9 mm parabellum." "It makes holes I can wade my feet in." "Yes." "Deleye speaking." "No, he won't be coming today." "Sick." "I don't know, just sick." "Do you have pajamas?" " ...pajamas ?" "P... pajamas, yes." "Take off the overall, put on the pajamas and off to bed." "Look." "Look what I have here." "The Benjamin." " That's Ruben." "Are you his mother ?" " No, she's the mother." "And the father ?" "You ?" " I'm her brother." "Like we care who put you on this world, hmm?" "But I have to know if that asshole is going to stop by." "How sad, a whore as a mother, and no daddy." "You want him ?" "Make sure no one stands in our way as long as we're here." "Or else..." "And that will make a mess." "If anything happens to the child..." " Then you're to blame for it." "What's your name ?" " Lisa." "OK, sister." "Follow uncle doctor." "Charlie Six, this is Six." "Everything's quiet, no one in sight." "Zero, this is Six." "Get ready." "Come, little sister." "Fainting you can do in your own time." "Come on, sit on him." "And hold his shoulders." "Not like that." "Like this." "No, that's not for us." "Those are exercises." "War ?" "Playing war ?" "Here, in your front garden ?" "Jim." "What's that noise ?" "The cavalry is exercising." "Wait until someone starts firing live rounds." "Then they'll shit their pants!" "Good morning." "How is he ?" " Who ?" "That Klipsteen." " Why ?" "Gangsters on your doorstep." "Nobody has to be afraid here as long as I'm around." "HB to sheriff, over." "HB to sheriff, over." "The telex came in, over." " Read it, sugar." "Armed robbery on illegal casino near Breda." "Loot: 600.000 guilders." "How much is that in francs, over ?" "A ranch in Texas, a swimming pool for you and my own livestock." "Armed and dangerous." "Armed and dangerous ?" "Drove away in a dark blue Mercedes." "License number:" "FT-41-BE." "Repeat the license number again." " FT-41-BE." "Damn it." "Shitty car." "Damned boy." " Don't swear, Klipsteen." "Help me instead, God damn it." "The boy is never sick, and now he abandons me." "I'm not here." " He isn't here." "Who's abandoning you ?" " Hugo." "Sick ?" " So they say." "Who ?" " Who do you think ?" "Where's that son of yours, I'm asking." "Sick, he says, and he hangs up right away." "What does he look like ?" " I already told you last night." "In a tuxedo ?" " Yes, a tuxedo, yes." "40 years ?" " Something like that, 40." "And the other one, the colored guy ?" "Colored guy ?" "I don't know." "He stayed in the car." "He just stayed in the car." "Wounded ?" " No, I'm alright." "Not you." "The other one." "The other one." "I don't know." "Anything is possible." "Suppose, you're wounded and you can't visit a doctor." "Where do you hide out?" "Around here ?" "There's nothing here." "The forest maybe, or Wildschut." "No, Deleye will see you coming." "He'll shoot you from his yard." "Have you listened to the news ?" "And switch off that thing." "They have stolen ten million francs." "Ten million." "Where ?" " In Holland." "Some gambling hole." "There was a shooting too." "Not too much or it will get pulpy." "You're going to have to lick it up..." " That was Ruben's dinner." "Give him a breast, and me as well if you have one left." "Where's that stallion of yours ?" "Well ?" "He's with my brother in his room." "Things aren't working out between us." "You talk too much." "Have you called them ?" "Never heard of the police, haven't you ?" "Those pissers who get you when you run a red light." "And ?" "My mate and I always run all the red lights." "Are you getting it ?" "No ?" "Yet there's one of those big cars coming." "How's that possible ?" "I don't know." "I'll make something up." " For your sake I hope you do." "And for that little one of yours." "Dalsum ?" "Are you coming for me ?" "Not if you have nothing to hide." "Coffee ?" "Or something else ?" " Coffee and something else." "And I wanted to say hi to Sybil." "You can do that here too." "You know where the bottle is, coffee is coming." " Look here." "Was just walking around." "I'm looking for two rats, one has a bullet in his body." "Rats ?" "What kind of rats ?" "Gangsters, Deleye." "Very dangerous gangsters." "Sybil." "How are you doing ?" " Fine." "And the children ?" " Fine too." "But Hugo is sick, I heard." " Yes." "What's his problem ?" " The flu." "Here you go." " Give the little one a kiss for me, OK?" "Suppose, Deleye, you steal 10 million francs in Holland." "and you get stuck in this area." "What will you do ?" "With the 10 million ?" " I'm not interested in the money." "I want to know the hideout." " l know a hundred of them." "Exactly." "You want me to mention all hundred of them ?" " No, just the one I'm not thinking about." "The love bunker." "The love bunker." "Even though you don't have a license for this, still you have to take care of it." "Otherwise it will get rusty." "Execution postponed." "But the verdict remains in effect." " Jimmie." "You're a great surgeon." " Wait until you get the bill." "You... have you been friends for a long time ?" "He's Jim." "You can call me Charlie." "And if I just walk out the door ?" " That would be very stupid." "We'll be gone tomorrow." "The day after tomorrow at the latest." "Where to ?" "As far away as possible." "I have my own land." "Doesn't that drive you crazy ?" "I'd extort money from the army and move." "This is my land." "Some idiots will even stay on a poisoned dump." "ls this your car fleet ?" "And ?" "Does it work ?" " Why ?" "I ask the questions here." " Is that so ?" "Or else I'll get that dried-up cunt of yours and I'll fuck her until she starts to mutter quietly." "Again: does this piece of junk work, yes or no ?" "Broken ?" "Too expensive." "Drinks too much fuel." " It's not broken ?" "All sorts of things are wrong with it, I think." " Leave the thinking part up to me." "Let's hear what your son has to say about it." "How are you going to prepare this ?" " Leave it up to me.." "Good afternoon, gentlemen.." "Have you poached this rabbit ?" " No, sir." "It was dead since a long time." " He was caught in a trap." "And I said:" "let's pinch it." " Right, that's what you said." "Isn't that allowed ?" "ls this your hideout ?" " Everyone visits this place." "Every patrol." " To take naps." "Can we keep the rabbit ?" "I'm looking for a dark blue Mercedes." " A dark blue Mercedes." "Have you seen it ?" " No, nothing." "No." "Enjoy your meal !" "Who was that ?" "The cowboy ?" " Uncle officer from the village." "What's up ?" " Nothing, sir." "What did you want to ask ?" " Nothing, sir." "It's not about wages and coffee breaks again ?" "No, sir." " Well, why are you standing there like this ?" "It's an easy job." " What ?" "And then it will run smoothly again ?" "Yes, it will run..." "Go to your bed." "We have visitors." "What's going on ?" "First the cops, now the cavalry." "They aren't here for you, but for Lisa." "She's a soldiers' whore as well ?" "One of these days I'll make you choke on your own words." "Make those whoremongers fuck off." "Or else I'll shove a skinned baby down your throat." "Shit head." "Here we are again, with your permission." "A lot of water-bottles have to be filled on days like this." "I don't have time for small talk today." "Excuse me." "Come on men, hurry up." "What kind of language are you speaking to the little one ?" "You don't call him Ruben." " Wanja'm." "Wanja'm." "How would you call me ?" " Ramso." "Ramso ?" "Stranger. I have my own land." "They think I'm crazy here." " How do I get to that land of yours ?" "Only if you know the way." "Do you know it ?" "Sometimes" "Quite a difference from those frozen corpses we have." "Delicious." "Is yours as tasty as well ?" "Here, taste it." "I don't disgust you, do I ?" "Dirty faggot." "I love you, chicken fucker." "No one finishes their meal?" "As a punishment you go to bed early." "He can't sleep." "I was dreaming." "That bitch could have ran away." " l was dreaming of you." "The child is our security." " And he'll be our security as long as we're here." "Leave Major shit head in peace at night." "Everybody thinks he knows best." "Even a common gangster would be a better mother." "The girl is completely nuts." "She has lulled me to sleep." "Here, it helps to keep you awake." "And?" "How's the pain ?" " It's worse at the dentist." "You were dreaming about me ?" "What ?" "I dreamed you were dancing." "Whom with ?" " Alone." "You were dancing backwards." "With a big bunch of roses." "Red roses." "And then ?" "Then I woke up." "Don't you have to go to bed, Dalsum ?" "Mere unrest, Deleye." "How are things going here ?" " Why ?" "Just asking." "Since when are you just driving around in the dark ?" "Since there are gangsters in the area." "Should I see them, I'll give you a call." "They weren't in the love bunker." "Sleep well." " Good night." "You heard uncle officer." "Good night." "Get some rest now." "I know who they are." "Heard it on the radio." "They're carrying a whole lot of money." "I just don't know where they hid it." "In the barn, I think." "What are you talking about ?" "Nothing." "Nothing." "You're not going to try it, you hear ?" "This isn't a game." "That one is very dangerous." "Shut up, lights out." "And no dirty games." "Can't you sleep either ?" "I have to think about Ruben all the time." "You ?" "Your child." "If we do nothing, they'll do nothing as well." "God, if I can get my hands on them..." " We have seen..." "Those soldiers this afternoon, that was my rabbit." "Your traps ?" "I don't empty them." "That's suspicious." "What do you mean ?" " It can raise suspicion." "Whom with ?" " Dalsum, for instance." "Sly fox." " Dalsum ?" "Everyone tucked in ?" "That traffic warden from the village is looking for us." "Here ?" "Not yet, but he's getting warmer." "Have you tried out that car ?" "Tomorrow, when it's ready." "And the Mercedes ?" "Dumped it, about an hour from here." "We should try again tomorrow." "Out of the question." "One more day." "You're the boss, but I'm the doctor." "We'll see." "I'm still in the mood to grab that girl." "She wants to leave this place." "That's what she's dreaming of." "You shouldn't dream, but act." "That's her land." "She drew it herself." "Nicely done, eh ?" "I told you that girl's insane." "She can't even fuck, I think." "Jimmie, do me a favor and go to sleep." "I'll stay up." "Later." "When I've made sure everyone's sleeping." "Beautiful, son." "A voice like a nightingale." "Here, for when you get married." "Son of a bitch." " Pick it up." "You can do it if you bend over, farmer boy." "Well, come on." "Good boy." "Well done." "Beggars can't be choosers..." "I'd wish you'd stop hiding behind your carbine." "Do you want it ?" "You can have it." "While you're at it: mine with ham, double baked." "We're here to change the little brat, grandma and me." "Where's Lisa ?" "She can't do it right." "You're daughter's ham-handed." "Washing and changing is my job." " No wonder she wants to leave this place." "Give me a hand." "I rather dance with your sister." " She's married to a minister." "I love God in my own way." " Like how ?" "I'm showing how not to do things." "You showed that early in the morning again." "People who won't listen will have to be taught by rougher methods." "One more day, we're in charge for that time." "Or aren't we ?" "Beware of the poacher." "He's an avenger." "With one soft spot." "The apple of his eye." "Ask your wet sister if she wants another child." "A child ?" " Can you hear me ?" "Hurry up." "I want an answer immediately." "And ?" " She doesn't want to." "Do you get it ?" "Sometimes they beg for it." "Off to bed." "If I'm wrong you may contradict me." "But game is poached to be mounted or to be eaten, not to let it rot." "Why don't you empty your traps ?" "There are a lot more poachers in this area." "But no one makes them like this, very skillful." "And a professional doesn't like flimsy work." "You should have been a preacher." "Does Sybil hit you, Deleye ?" "My marriage sucks." "I've known that as long as I know you." "You can't tell fairy-tales." "I can." "And I'm pretty experienced at it too." "Once upon a time there were two evil men who robbed a bag full of money." "But on their way to the sunny south they got stuck." "So they needed a hideout, and they found it." "Not at the love bunker." "But at a remote farm." "The residents had a choice:" "either shut their mouths, or a bullet through the head." "And to enforce their threats, a few blows were dealt here and there." "How do you like that ?" " l don't like fairy-tales." "I do." " Are you done ?" "I'm going to search your house." "What are you saying ?" "I'm going to search your house, that's what I said." "That traffic warden is coming to play cowboy." "One wrong word and it's going to be a bloodbath" "What do you know about the law ?" " Enough." "I demand a search warrant." "In black and white." "You'll get it." "By mail." "Sybil, how did this happen ?" "And your husband ?" "Who has mangled him ?" "Those guys perhaps ?" "We have a lousy marriage, I said it before." "These things happen then." "ls this your room, boy ?" "Yes, sir." "Do you sleep here by yourself ?" "Yes, sir." "And what about that ?" "Sometimes there too, sir." "But not when you're sick." " Sick ?" "Your boss says you're a good mechanic." "ls that right ?" "I believe so." "Is this necessary ?" "The boy is sick." "Yes, I can see that." "He's sweating because of it." "ls that Lisa's room ?" " Yes, and the child's." "It's sleeping now." "I'm going to be very quiet." " If something happens to that child..." "Slip of the tongue, Deleye ?" "I mean if it's startled by you." "You know who I am." "Uncle officer." "I love children." "Lisa ?" "Do you like fairy-tales ?" " Fairy-tales ?" "Your stepfather doesn't." "In fairy-tales the big bad wolf's always in bed." "But in this fairy-tale he might be under the bed..." "Do you know where to look for him ?" " In the forest." "HB to sheriff, urgent, over." " Telephone." "HB to sheriff..." " That thing in your car is beeping." "HB to sheriff, urgent, over." "Yes." " Where the hell are you ?" "I'm at it for a quarter of an hour." " Go ahead." "The dark blue Mercedes is in the village." "Did you receive that, over ?" "I'm coming." "Over and out." "A person can make a mistake." "He went off like the devil is chasing him." "Does that cowboy have any colleagues ?" "He was called away by police radio." "His wife is doing that." " A wife ?" "He ?" "Who wants to be married to such a pig ?" "Would you want that ?" "Fuck that teddy bear ?" "I do with that teddy bear, yes." "Where's that friend of yours ?" "The black one ?" "Black one ?" "Which black one ?" "There's a bus stop right around the corner." "The bus leaves every half hour." "I would have granted it you so much, two real gangsters." "I overlooked something." " A hideout ?" "I've looked everywhere: the turf huts, Wildschut, the love bunker." "And where does that idiot find the Mercedes again?" "There." "It's still your territory ?" " I'll decide that." "But can one go into hiding there ?" " Only fields there." "They can't just have disappeared." " You deserve it so much." "Sweetheart." "That smells bad." "I thought only gentle doctors made stinking wounds" "And brute amateurs." "Fireworks, that's all." "There they are again." "Dogs in heat." "Nice extra earnings, such a brothel ?" "Ask your mother." "Nasty little fellow, isn't he ?" "He doesn't bite." "Yet." "Make sure they piss off." "What happened to you ?" " I'll tell you." "I'm getting sick of you." "Lisa, come here." "Take the child, hurry up." "Stay here." "But I thought...we had an agreement." " Fetch water now and then, yes." "Not to stare at the girl each day." "Excuse me." "I didn't know that." " Good you didn't." "Now get lost." "Looks like another wank job for her admirer." "But you're a niece piece of ass." " Jim, leave her alone." "What's tasty ?" "He sure can drive, eh ?" "I wish he'd drive himself to death." "Shit head." "How much gas is still left ?" " Enough." "Fill her up, take her away, ass backwards." "Are you asleep ?" "I know where to find the money." "You're not going to do it." "That one guy, Jim, will kill you." "Don't do it." " But I'm doing it for you." "For us." "So we can leave together." "I see you're able to stand on your own legs." "May I have this dance this time ?" " Who's leading ?" "You or me ?" "Me." "I can give you a ride." " Go to sleep first." "You're up for 60 hours already." " l'll take you to Spain in one drive." "I'll wake you up in time." "I won't get a wink of sleep anyway." "You have a pretty child." "Does it look like the father ?" "His father." "Deleye is his father." "The poacher ?" "Where are you going ?" "As far away as possible." "Don't you have a woman ?" "Sometimes." "Can I come along ?" "And who will wash the diapers ?" "Jim ?" "Wanja'm stays here." "They say it to me every day:" "You go." "We'll look after the child." "You have your own land." "It's safer." "Jim and I only have escape routes." "Hideouts and escape routes.." "Bu I can do many things." "Poach, shoot, drive a car." "Love." "That would be something." "Bonnie and Clyde." " Who are they ?" "The Romeo and Juliet of crime." " Then that's who we will be." "Criminals." "Jesus." "Do you have something to puke in ?" "I'm getting sick." "Still 3 hours to go." " All the bullshit talk." "ls he angry now ?" "He's my friend." "Can I be your girlfriend ?" "Let's hear it." " In private." "The shit hit the fan ?" " Her brother." "The money ?" " He's dead." "Where is he now ?" " In the barn under some straw." "Dump him in the forest." "Now that there's a dead guy our lead can't be big enough." "What happened ?" "Trouble ahead." "What are you doing here, Jos ?" " Why aren't I relieved ?" "No matter if takes a week, you may never leave your post." "Up yours." "It's 2 hours duty, 4 hours rest and I'm standing there for 3 hours." "That's not possible." "That thing is broken." "But I'll put you on report anyway." "Whatever." "Do you think there's a war going on ?" "Show off." "Eddie, it's your turn." "And hurry up, come on." " Two hours, not a minute longer." "You'll be put on report as well." "Ass kisser." "Put out that fire." "It can be seen from miles away." "By whom ?" " Do you want to be put on report as well ?" "Whatever you say." "Give a numskull a few stripes and he'll think he's got claws." "A d..." "A dead body." "There's a dead body over there." "And I want the C-squadron there to close the gap. ls that clear ?" "OK, cavalry commander." "With your permission." "One of our listening posts has found a corpse." "A corpse ?" " That's right." "With your permission." "One of our men ?" " No, it's a civilian." "Does anyone know who he is ?" " He was lying in the forest." "Near the listening post "Rita"." "And who's there now ?" " No one." "The post has been abandoned." "By you ?" " Yes." "A post may never be abandoned." " No, cavalry captain." "Court-martial." "Dismissed." "I know that boy." "He's from Wildschut." "The poacher's place ?" "Do you want me to take a look there ?" "This is a police matter." "At ease." "Gangsters, you said ?" " Murderers." "Call the state police, riot police, whatever you want." "The line is open." "It will take them hours to get here." "I'm making an appeal to you, captain... cavalry captain." "If I go by myself there will be a blood-bath." "You only have to be there, with your troops." "Necessity has no law, cavalry captain." "Human lives are at stake." "There's even a baby involved." "You can surely call him, Mrs. Dalsum." "Tell him I called and he was right." "You have to be able to deal with modern day conveniences." "We wanted to keep our departure a secret." "Your taxi is ready, sir." " Right on time." "Could you hurry ?" "Our departure has already been notified." "Then the little one will stay with us." "What are you doing here ?" " Liberating you." "Get lost." " We know everything." "We know your son is dead too." "That who's dead ?" " No." "We found him in the forest." "You killed my son." "You killed my Hugo..." "Let me..." "Old bitch." " You killed my son." "You know what you're going to do ?" "You'll leave now and you'll get a medal for courage and loyalty." "While you still can." "The game is over." "The police are on their way." " l'll count to two and then you're out of here." "One." "Two." "Too bad, I'd rather have you dead than alive." "You haven't got me yet, fatty." " l'll count to three." "Throw away that carbine." "One." " And then ?" "Then I have to fill out ten thousand forms." "But it's all worth it." "Two." "You see, fatso ?" "You're still going home empty-handed." "No, please." "Not Ruben, don't." "Give me the child, our child." "Don't." "Don't." "I'm going with you." " We'll let him out of the car after the bend." "Bitch, get lost." "This is the army." "Surrender yourselves." "I repeat, this is the army." "Surrender yourselves." "Nothing to see." "Nothing to see yet." "We've got him." "Block all side roads." "Sector south, block side roads." "Block all side roads in the southern sector." "The car is leaving our sector, ceasing pursuit." "I repeat, ceasing pursuit."
