Hey.
Hi, daddy.
You want this, Vicky? Here. - Yes, thanks.
Oh, come on Basil, Stay out of the garbage.
Stay out. Come on.
Cut it out, I said.
Very dirty.
No! Stay there. You watch it!
Someone Else's Happiness
I think these ones are a bit too small. I'll put them to one side.
You can go home now.
OK.
What's wrong? Are you afraid to answer the phone?
I'm just calling to see how you're doing.
I'm gonna kill myself. And you!
I hate you, stupid cow!
Ridiculous woman.
I'm gonna kill myself.
4025 for car 14.
Where's that thing?
I repeat: 4025 for car 14. - Wait a minute...
Car 14. Copy that.
There 's a child in the ditch.
There's... there 's a child in the ditch.
I don't see anything.
Well. I don't see anything.
It's gone.
You can get a fine for that, you know?
Come on.
Stay down. Stay.
Yes, you stay there.
Stijn.
Did you go and see your father?
Stijn!
My god.
Did you go and see your father? - Nopes.
Nopes!?
What was that about?
Thank you. Bye.
I think I like your hair better when it's...
Hi there.
Yes.
Hi, Chrissy. It's mom. How are you?
Fine.
Are my glasses ready? - Yes.
I'll come pick them up this week then.
OK.
Is Sammy there?
Sam? It's grandma.
He's in the bathroom.
Listen, I saw Fred this week.
He told me he misses you a lot. - No he didn't.
He did. And that he still loves you. - He didn't tell you that.
Yes he did. - I'll see you in the store.
What's wrong? Afraid to answer again?
Stupid cow.
Silly goat.
I'm not saying you have to have a mega super fantastic body.
Rubens' women can be beautiful as well.
But there's a difference between that and being fat.
The colleague I was talking about. You know her.
Gert's wife. I really don't get it.
She works out every day and she's still as fat as a pig.
Those pockets of fat!
And she's doing everything wrong...
She should get a personal trainer, but no...
She does everything by herself. Cycling, cycling...
Oh no! Chris, check this out.
It's a brand new sweater.
The more you touch it, the worse it gets.
And it was such an expensive sweater.
Look at it.
Anyway. I've been told to put it in the freez...
I'll put it in the freezer.
I've been told to put it in the freezer... - Can I borrow your brush?
My what? - Your brush.
Oh sorry.
I'm even losing my hair. Soon I'll have to wear a wig.
I don't understand we've got the same genes.
How can we have the same mother? Your hair is so nice.
Imagine I went bald.
Chris, imagine I'd have to wear a wig.
At last.
You know I once spent five hours, looking for my car.
Honestly. There was no one around and I just kept looking. Up and down.
And it's not as if my car isn't noticeable...
Hi. I'm Marie.
I'm Gerda's sister-in-law. I'm replacing her because...
Due to circumstances she can't make it.
I just have to clean up a bit and I'm done.
That's Sally Jane, my daughter.
Due to an area of high pressure above the country...
there's a higher concentration of smog.
More disturbing news at home.
Yesterday, a seven year old boy, from Noville...
was fatally injured by a car, not far from his home.
The investigators still have no clues as to any suspects.
This was clearly a hit and run case...
as the boy was abandoned without any care.
People who were in the surroundings at the time of the accident...
or who can give more information...
are requested to contact the local police.
This case once again opens the debate...
...concerning penalties for hit and run accidents.
The Minister of Traffic and Road safety...
announced stricter measures will be taken.
No, you can't do that. Get out of there.
Get out.
Good.
Did anyone have a nose bleed?
I'm hungry.
Anyone else?
I miss my brother.
Basil.
Come on Basil.
Maybe he recognized someone on tv?
Whenever I eat peas, I get a headache.
Your grandpa always used to say...
'When the cows have to go back in, don't think about it too much, just do it.'
The cows.
Did you hear about that accident with the boy?
Which boy?
That got run over? - Yes.
Sammy, could you pass me the wine please?
I happened to be out in the car...
Don't tell me you ran him over?
There's a high chance your father will commit suicide, Stijn.
So...
If you ever hear me say I will...
then that's it. I would't be drawing attention. I'd mean it.
Ok?
How is your mother doing?
No. Those aren't right.
Let's try the purple ones.
That's better.
Pretty, don't you think? The purple ones?
Yes, those are good.
Another purple pair.
Grand Optical, good morning.
I reckon you're not doing as well as Stijn claims.
Another purple pair.
How much are these?
It says on the tag.
225. Yes.
Definitely not these ones. The frame's way too heavy.
Oh, those are pretty.
Listen, asshole. If you call again, I'll come and punch you in the face, right?
Where was I? Yes, the glasses of 320.
I think they suit you well. With the colour of your hair and all...
Let's try them once more. - You can still decide what to do later.
I'm working my ass off in this shithole store of yours...
and you're keeping yourself busy nagging me? Asshole.
Glass is more fragile of course...
and plastic's more scratch resistent. But plastic is more expensive.
Don't you think I know how much Sam suffers from visiting you? Asshole.
Sorry.
I wouldn't doubt any longer. Really.
Check yourself in the mirror once more. They look really nice on you.
But I'm thinking... which is more expensive? Glass or plastic...
Yes, no, glass is heavier, more difficult...
and plastic is... Well you'll see.
Hi.
You called?
Sure thing.
It could be warmer, don't you think?
Sure thing.
Do you know Johnny The Flow?
No.
That's me.
World Champion boxer. Welterweight.
1948.
Wow.
Yeah.
But you... - It's gonna get even colder.
Really?
There's something in the air.
Well, it could be warmer for this time of the year.
Sure thing.
Across the street. Someone's living there...
But I didn't tell you that, okay?
Of course not.
I'd just keep an eye on him.
That's all I'm saying.
I'll do that.
Well. Thanks.
Yes.
You don't have to tell me who ran over that child.
It's that cop. He's the father of the child that got run over, honestly.
Do you have a new watch? - It's an old one.
I never saw it before.
Listen, that Johnny The Flow character... I ran into him last week.
My god. I wouldn't like to run into him when it's dark.
If I had children, I'd keep them away from there.
Last week I heard...
You know I've been told that the kid lived for four more hours after the accident?
Imagine that! If someone would've been around, he might have survived.
It's been paid for. - That's truly gruesome.
I should stop thinking about it.
Be strong, Bart.
I'm Tom. Bart's the one who's dead.
I would like to have a goldfish. Please mama?
What if he were still alive, Sammy?
Do you die if you really don't want to?
Yes.
But I really don't want to.
You'll die anyway. - Not true.
I really don't want to. Mama!
Mama, Stijn says that even if you don't want to, you'll still die.
Stijn!
Wait a second...
Francis, have you heard about the child that got run over?
Francis?
He was run over.
Where?
They found him in the ditch in our street.
The current probably took him there.
So he came home after all...
You want a drink?
Something wrong with Njord, sir?
You should check out what he's got there, sir.
You should check out what he's got there.
Hi Chris.
Hey, hi Sam.
There you go. Try them on.
Thanks.
How are you?
Red, red.
Have you heard anything from Fred?
I'm sure he misses you.
I know the way he thinks about me. He calls me every day.
Oh, never mind that.
Come on Sam?
What's wrong with Sam?
He went to the playground with his daddy.
Oh well, Sam. Your daddy is just fooling around.
Daddy's a fool, isn't he?
There you go.
Oh well.
Anyway. Bye.
Bye, Sammy.
It's for a pair of glasses.
Can I see your prescription please?
Wait a moment.
Say, Chris...
Mom told me your cleaning lady is a relative of that deceased child.
Yes, it's the mother. It's the mother.
Chris...
Are you serious? Is she... So what did she say?
What does it matter? - She just came back to clean?
Come on? She's got to be traumatized.
How did she react?
That's simply horrible.
She didn't simply come back to clean.
Don't tell me that's normal. Mom agrees on that.
Yeah, I guess mom knows it all.
Sammy. Leave that, son. You don't like them.
Oh come on... Alle those crisps. - Oh no, they don't have Ringlings.
Ringlings? Wait a second.
What did you do? I didn't bring that much money, you know.
Here you go, Sam.
Here.
I would like to have a goldfish.
We'll go buy one tomorrow. Okay? Sit down. We go.
Come on.
Listen Chris... - Let's go.
Could I make a phone call?
Noville police, good afternoon.
Good afternoon sir...
I'm calling about that boy that got run over.
I would like to know at what time the child died.
Can I ask you why? - I think I saw him walking around.
You probably saw his twin brother, miss.
Miss?
No, he was covered with blood and didn't look good.
Can I take down your details, miss?
Thanks. Come on, Sammy. Let's go.
Mommy got me two goldfish.
I...
I'm gonna get some cigarettes.
Can you bring me crisps? Ringlings.
Bye.
How much?
280 euros. - Jesus.
Yeah. That's a lot of money, isn't it?
I didn't know what to do first. Shit my pants or go blind.
I think they suit me better than you, actually.
Are you finished eating already?
You have to eat well, you know.
We are showing reruns of the news until tomorrow morning.
Good evening.
A cease fire today in Congo...
Chris? Chris?
I feel bad.
I'm gonna hang myself, Chris.
Fred? - Chris?
Do me a favor and go ahead.
We are showing reruns of the news until tomorrow morning.
Good evening.
A cease fire today in Congo...
Hello.
Excuse me?
The car needs maintenance.
And... the bumper is dented.
When can I come and pick it up?
Tomorrow.
What time?
At what time can I come and pick it up?
Around five.
Ok. See you tomorrow.
Hello?
I really don't get it...
The child was still alive when it washed up in the ditch near its house.
What do you know about that? - I really don't get it.
How do you know? - Yeah. I know.
In any case... If you leave your kids out on the streets, unattended...
you're asking for an accident. That's obvious.
A child needed to die for them to realize that.
Yes, and Chris had a serious talk with her...
If you don't shut up about it, I'll pull up over there and you get out.
Yeah.
Such a pity.
So young.
What?
- Get out.
What?
Out. - What did I say wrong? Come on.
Nico, quit that. Go away. Stop that.
I think you don't love us anymore.
I love my wife and children dearly.
Remember that time at the seaside? - Yeah, I was there.
He's not right in the head, sir.
When did this happen? - This morning, sir.
Did you call a doctor yet? - No, sir.
Everything all right?
He's a fool, sir.
What day is today? - Wednesday.
Wednesday? - Yes.
An?
Do you know where mama is?
An?
News at home. In the case of the fatal accident of 7 year old Bart from Noville...
further investigation has proven that the boy was hit by a grey coloured car.
As it was a hit and run accident...
the investigators ask for anyone who has more information...
to contact the local police.
Where's daddy?
Major strikes today in Brussels...
What was wrong with the car? - Daddy ran into something.
At the end of the week, or early next week?
Yes, I'd still prefer this week.
I need to lie down for a while.
I gave the dog a bath.
Suises bank, good afternoon.
Gerda.
Do they know who did it yet?
No.
At what time did your son die?
Why?
Just because.
At eleven.
He died on impact.
Has daddy gone, Sammy?
You always have to take care, Sam, when you're out playing by yourself.
What are you up to? - Playing.
Yes, but not with the knife.
But we need it. - Yes, but not with the knife.
Can I take this then? - As long as you leave the knives alone.
Francis?
...victim of a hit and run accident a couple of weeks ago...
was probably hit by a grey coloured car. The police are...
Mrs Sanders?
I'm sorry but we really can't do that.
But I just want to know where the money has gone.
I just want to know who's account number it is.
I do understand, madam. But...
But you're not fully authorized for this account, so...
I really can't give you further information. I'm sorry.
I'm his wife. - I understand, madam.
But it's really impossible...
But I want to know and I have the right to know.
Madam, the law on privacy... - I don't give a damn about that.
I'm his wife and I have the right to know where that money has gone.
Good. Your husband opened a savings account for you and your children.
Every month a large amount of his money gets transferred to it automatically.
There you go.
Please.
Hello? - Hello mother. It's Njord.
Don't cry, please.
Mother, please. I've got to...
Please be quiet.
Mother, is Sven around?
Sven. Sven... It's Njord.
Hello? - Sven, it's Njord. Listen.
I've got to ask you something.
Do you know anything about an unsolved case?
Huh?
Yes, a murder or theft they haven't solved yet?
Is something wrong?
No, everything is fine. Just a question.
Are you in trouble? Do you need money?
No. No big deal. Just a question.
We miss you. - Yes.
We miss you... Njord, we miss you.
Hit and run case still unsolved
I have never driven a car.
Tommy. Your mum's here.
Tuesday's good. Wednesday. Thursday possibly.
Is Mark here? - What?
Is Mark here? - Mark? No, no, no. Why?
Just because.
Maybe he's with Hendrik. In the garage.
Here sweety.
Like that.
Bye.
Yes, we should go. - Yes.
Bye.
How was it?
Noville Police, good evening. - Hello?
3015 for car 14. Armed burglary at 45, Champs Delvaux.
I repeat. Armed burglary at 45, Champs Delvaux.
3015 for car 14.
Car 14. Copy that. We're on our way. Over.
So if you have trouble with your bowels and you're constipated...
definitely wholegrain rice... That's really the best.
When you're driving a car, you talk about driving.
When you're shopping, you talk about shopping.
And when you're eating, you talk about food. Incredible!
See! You're always nagging me.
Never Chrissy. Unbelievable!
I saw a lady this week, with a pair of glasses... My god, my god...
With a frame this size!
There you go. I put on my glasses and she begins talking about glasses.
You see. Me again.
She's always picking on me. - Listen, Chrissy.
Are you absolutely sure there are no peas in here?
I mixed them in secretly.
Yeah, with a pepper grinder.
It's true, you know. They give me a terrible migraine.
Yeah...
Yeah, migraine, because she...
It's on the news. It's on the news.
Good evening. Last night a violent burglary took place in Noville.
Two masked men entered the house around 10 p.m.
The father of the family was brutally maltreated. The dog...
That's our house and our car!
The motives for this crime are still unclear as nothing was stolen...
Thanks to the video surveillance of the family...
we can show you images of this incident.
If you saw anything suspicious last night around ten...
or believe to recognize one of these two men...
Oh no. They're hitting the dog to death.
Chris, isn't that the dog from next door?
The one that's always running through the yard.
The motives for this crime are still unclear as nothing was stolen...
That happened at the neighbours' the day before yesterday.
Come on Sam, put on your shoes. We're late.
Come. Sit down. Hup, give me your foot.
...or believe to recognize one of these two men...
are requested to contact the local police at number 05365689.
But... Where are you going?
Sam!
Sam, your jacket. Come on.
One, two...
Say, you haven't eaten anything? Did you pack your lunch-box?
And your hankies?
It will be delivered today around five.
Miss? It will be delivered today around five.
Thank you.
Here you go. Have a nice day. - Bye.
That's a very ugly carpet.
That's a very, very ugly carpet.
What do you think you're doing?
What if he wasn't the one?
It was him.
You don't know that.
Is something wrong? - No, no.
I just don't feel well, that's all.
You're not going to pass out, are you?
An, I have to tell you something.
An?
I have to tell you something.
I've got cancer.
My body's full of cancer.
I'm dying.
Good evening. Breakthrough in the case of the fatal accident of Bart from Noville.
The investigators believe to have arrested the person responsable for the accident.
It's a 33 year old single man...
who lived close by the family of the victim.
Even though no official statements have been made so far...
the police claim to have sufficient evidence...
to make this arrest. According to people in the neighbourhood...
the man dealt with psychological problems a long time.
The man didn't resist during his arrest.
We are still waiting for further announcements from the investigators.
Look... Will we eat pancakes tomorrow?
I'll first make a flag and wave at the parade...
Mama? Okay?
They found the guilty one, didn't they? I mean, they found out who did it.
I saw your son when he had just died.
I...
By coincidence I pulled over right there. He was lying there, in the ditch.
So then I... I called the police, and your husband was on duty, so he came.
And by the time he got there, he had been taken away by the current.
He didn't believe me. Well, I didn't...
I didn't know whether I had seen it or not.
I meant to tell you that for a long time already.
Stop pushing me about. - Oh, come on ma.
You go ahead. Go ahead! I'll come with Sonja.
Stupid deaf head.
