Red Flags (2025) Movie Script

1
Sam.
Sam.
Sam.
Sam, say something.
Say something. Please.
I had to be honest at some point.
So youre saying this now, after...
Ive come all the way here.
For how long?
Then what am I doing
all the way over here?
Sam.
Welcome home!
Amazing.
So cute.
And?
Well...
Wont be needing that anymore.
This gap year is going great.
Im sure the sun will shine here too.
Sure.
Hey, hes just a...
...hes just a
For sure.
Im glad to have you back, darling.
Yeah, for sure.
Are you sure youre okay with this, Em?
Thats not her call.
And besides, mending a broken heart
is a lot easier in Amsterdam
than in Krommenie.
Everything is going to be
fine, Sammy.
Just trust us.
I dont really trust anyone
at the moment.
Oh babe, I get that.
-No!
This is exactly what were not
going to do.
What?
This...
Self-pity.
Wallowing in misery and gloom.
Everything is a little
miserable and gloomy at the moment.
Then youre letting
he-who-must-not-be-named win.
You have to win.
Id listen to your friend Sammy.
She knows best now.
Youve been set free. You...
have set yourself free.
Were going to celebrate that.
Were going out tonight.
Now?
What do you think?
Wait till youre ready?
Well still be here in the winter.
Go on...
...get changed.
Well...
...do you think well get in
by tomorrow?
No. This is going to be
a long night, at this rate.
Whats up?
What the fuck?
Weve been waiting
way longer.
Relax, hes probably famous
or something.
No, guys like that think
theyre better than us
because we let them do that.
They are with me.
No thanks.
Were fine here.
Dude...
Lets go.
Sammy...
Technically, we could have been
sipping gin-tonics now.
Yeah, maybe that
wasnt the best idea.
but at least were together.
Good morning.
Rise and shine.
When are you going to start
setting your own alarm?
Ive been dragging you
out of bed all week
and last time I checked,
I wasnt your mother.
Come on.
First day of work.
Do I have to?
Are you going to
keep saying that?
No, sorry.
Im really glad that I can come
work at the hotel with you.
Dude...
After all, I dropped out of hotel school
because Im so passionate about
that kind of work.
Seriously, I put my neck
on the line for you
with Melvin, so...
Dont fuck this up.
Okay.
-Okay?
Ill do my best.
You better.
Ignore him.
Your new life starts today.
Come on.
And?
Stand up straight.
Thats it.
This is the backstage part of the hotel
where guests arent allowed.
Laundry carts, booze stockroom.
And this is the kitchen.
This is the bar
and heres the restaurant.
And this is where
youll spend most of your time.
The reception.
You must be Sam.
-Yes.
Welcome.
This is Melvin, our manager.
Oh, just managing assistant.
Its not that impressive.
He says
but usually he likes
to act all important.
Just wait.
Britney, breakfast.
-Hi.
So what are you doing
at the reception...
...Britney?
See? On my way.
On my way.
Careful with Britney.
Shell gossip your ear off.
Good luck today,
and if you have any questions
you know where to find me.
Thanks.
Shell gossip your ear off
Who says that?
And here is the desk.
For this, you need a keycard.
Look, you put this in...
and then you get the menu
with all the room numbers.
Check
-Check?
Thanks.
And?
How are you finding it?
You still need to get used to it.
Yeah, Im exhausted.
I really had to pull some strings
to get you in here.
Im responsible, you know?
And if I want to become a manager,
I cant make any mistakes. Zero.
Everything has to be perfect.
Then I dont know if I belong here.
You know what you need to do?
Its past nine-thirty,
and the spa is closed to guests.
So?
There are spare swimsuits downstairs.
Youll feel way better.
And youll see
why you want to work here.
Sure.
Hey.
Do you work here too?
Here?
Are you crazy?
So youre a guest?
Yeah. Last time I checked,
I was yeah.
This is closed to guests.
Youre not allowed to be here.
You really dont recognize me?
I thought I...
...had left an impression.
Sorry?
Shame.
You could have just gotten
into the club with me.
Did you guys have fun...
...waiting in the line for so long?
How about a second chance?
For your information,
the pool is closed.
I dont think they want
people swimming after closing time.
I think its fine.
I think its wonderfully quiet here,
like this...
after closing time.
Fender
Who the heck is called Fender?
The watch was definitely a present.
Twenty-three?
That guy is twenty-three.
Which twenty-three year old
can afford a suite?
No clue.
Hes a Kroon.
Lily Kroons son.
That explains a lot.
Hes just a nepo baby.
Pretty muscular for a baby.
Muscular?
Yeah. You started talking about
his muscles.
Youre not into him,
are you?
Why?
I dont know.
You had a swim together.
-Dude.
What are you gossiping about
all of a sudden?
Just now I was told
to behave myself.
Were not at work anymore.
Oh my god, look at this.
Good morning, sir.
Down?
Down, sure.
Im looking for the breakfast.
Breakfast isnt on the third floor.
Of course.
Second floor.
Not on the second floor?
As if youve never
had breakfast here.
Leave those buttons alone.
Were going to the ground floor.
I knew youd help me.
Hey, Im Fender.
Sam.
Sam.
Nice name.
Suits you.
Really fits with you.
Cant handle them?
Complements?
Breakfast is here.
Cool.
Guests arent allowed on this floor,
unfortunately.
Breakfast is upstairs.
Good luck.
Sammy?
Yeah?
I need a word.
Ive heard something
we really need to discuss...
as...
as the assistant manager.
Go on then.
Britney was just rattling on about
how she bumped into that Fender guy...
in the staff corridor lift...
...where he was trapped,
because he has no keycard.
So Brit was kind enough
to bring him upstairs
but then she started wondering
how he ended up there.
Did a staff member
just leave him there?
Unbelievable, right?
Didnt you know those lifts
dont go up without a card?
He started pressing all the buttons.
I didnt know what to do. Sorry.
It was a really weird situation.
Im afraid youll have to go
apologize.
What?
If Melvin finds out about this,
which he will...
I want it to be resolved already.
Im still responsible for you.
Now?
If possible, yes.
Yes.
Thank you.
Hey.
I...
have to apologize
for that incident in the lift, so...
Try to stay focused, Fender.
Fender?
Yeah, no worries.
Sorry for that thing
in the lift.
I...
Yeah.
[Can you pick up for once?]
[Im back in the Netherlands.]
Hey Sammy, what are you doing?
Is this really all my fault?
I get it now...
how it must have been for you
to fly halfway across the world
only to hear that from me.
As if you have no control
over anything anymore.
Thats what it was like for me too...
well, for you it must have been
ten times-
Hey.
Are you guys still not done?
Shame, you would have more than welcome...
Little meeting with the boys upstairs.
Room service is going
to be busy.
The entire hotel is complaining.
Everyone can hear them.
Im getting some noise complaints.
Any idea whats going on?
Suite 407.
Still?
Thats unacceptable.
Weve got to shut it down.
This isnt a nightclub.
Partys over.
Get lost.
You heard the hotel managers.
Piss off, the partys over.
Yes, home time everyone.
Yeah come on guys,
lets go.
Can I tempt you?
Little meeting with the boys?
Something like that.
Our shift just got a little longer.
What are you doing?
Let housekeeping do that.
Housekeeping is not going to do this
so someone else has to do it.
Oh, nice.
Right, yeah.
What are we looking for again?
All-purpose cleaner.
And that happens to kept
in this closet?
Yeah, theres a utility closet
like this on every floor.
Otherwise housekeeping
has to take the lift a myriad times
which they already have to anyway.
So you think thats the door to a suite,
but this is whats really behind it.
A bit like me.
What?
When they see me people also think
hmm, a suite...
and then you turn out
to be a utility closet?
No.
Thats not quite my
artistic thing.
No, thats apparent.
So what is?
Yeah, nothing.
Posting a thousand photos a day
is not particularly artistic, right?
Unless you put something
personal into them.
I mean, I primarily do it for others.
Selling shampoo?
Well, shampoo...
designer shoes, fashion.
Traveling is pretty cool.
Its exactly the same, but more expensive.
Youre not easy to impress,
are you?
People say one thing,
but are the other.
Im kind of done with that.
Sounds familiar.
Those guys...
everyone who hangs out with me
wants something from me...
to have something...
to be given something.
Yeah, makes sense right?
Theyre just insecure,
whilst you seem to have it all.
Seem?
Seem, yes.
Well, seem...
What do I know?
A lot...
it seems.
Here you are.
How hard is it to find
all-purpose cleaner?
Chop, chop.
Almost done, almost bedtime.
I think Im going to
sleep for three days.
Were definitely going to do that.
Sam.
What the fuck?
Hey Miel, how are you doing?
Good.
Nice.
Sam, could we have a quick chat,
just the two of us?
What are you doing here?
Sam, honestly
I can start making
loads of apologies
but theres no point.
Im actually-
Sorry could we just have
two minutes...?
Sam, I completely understand
how out of line my behavior was.
I thought about it, and...
Listen, if someone cheats
in a relationship
it means something is
already going wrong
between those two people.
It means the foundations
arent right.
It doesnt mean you
have to...
...make it worse.
Then you can be very sure
it will fail.
Yeah, well you kind of
did that.
A bit?
A bit severely.
So, to make it better
we have to take a step back.
See what went wrong.
Listen Sam, you just have
to take me back.
Give me another chance.
Ill do it all differently
and well be totally fine.
Youll get the best boyfriend
youve ever had...
...back.
Hey, Bas.
Im not as easy
to impress anymore.
So...
You okay?
Sort of.
I could hear everything.
You just sent him away.
Well done.
Youre becoming really strong.
I love you, mate.
Honestly, if I didnt have you-
-I wouldnt have you.
Sammy.
Sammy.
Sammy.
What are you doing here?
Hey, Sam...
please let me-
-Bas.
This is nog going to happen.
Sam has been very clear,
this is her workplace
so leave her alone, right now.
-No.
Sammy, please let me-
-Come on.
Sam. Let me-
Sammy let me-
Hey, relax.
-This is ridiculous.
-Okay, have a good day sir.
That guy, Jesus...
Yeah, Im actually going to-
-No.
Sorry.
-Sam.
Are you drunk?
No.
Tiny bit.
Were you seriously
up all night?
Please, you have to forgive me.
Whats going to become of me
without you?
Nothing at all.
A sad little wreck.
You always used
to be the wreck.
Bas, please.
Im at work.
Take me back
then you wont have to do
any of this anymore.
Hey?
Sweetie?
Chubby cheeks?
-Stop it, Bas.
Little pudding.
Come on.
-Stop it.
Stop it!
Listen, youre mine.
She said no, didnt she?
So piss off.
Sammy.
Sammy.
Bas, just go.
No...
Sam.
Fender.
Fender.
Do you think
thats a normal thing to do?
Randomly punching someone in the face?
Randomly? He was touching you.
I can take care of myself.
Sure looked like it.
He was touching your face.
You know what I cant
understand Sam?
That someone thinks he can just
lay his filthy hands on you like that.
Whats the matter?
I just cant handle someone
treating you like that.
I also have no clue what...
that means.
Did you really just punch my ex
in the face?
Yeah, I guess.
Is that very brave,
or just really stupid?
Both...
...I guess.
Yeah.
I...
Yeah...
Just...
Bye.
Bye.
Fender.
Do you still have to work for long?
No. Almost done.
Nice.
Yeah.
Alright then...
Bye.
-Bye.
What is all this?
Fender punched Bas in the face?
Yeah. I have to admit
I would have liked to
punch him myself.
Right?
Dont you think we should
deal the blow
every now and again.
Be careful with guys like that.
Sam?
Sam?
Hello?
Sam?
Hello, whats going on?
Nothing.
Talk to you tomorrow,
alright?
Sleep well.
Sleep well.
Hey.
Im only just realizing what you
normally look like.
Yeah, I actually only have
two outfits
the hotel uniform and my pajamas.
You look more like yourself.
I like that.
And you know where I live.
I find that a little weird.
I thought...
lets do something fun
without other people
or physical violence.
What, now?
Unless youre married to your sofa...
I wouldnt judge you.
Up to you.
Hello, sir.
Ready?
Almost there...
Three, two, one...
Dont like it?
I do.
Slightly impressed?
Impressed, Never.
Thank you.
-Be careful.
So this has been cooked sous-vide.
And?
Dont like it?
I just dont get it.
The more money people have,
the weirder they eat
and above all, the less they eat.
Can you survive a whole evening
on a leaf with a little foam?
Just wait, theres more coming.
The snack-bar would have been
fine too.
Some fancy fries.
If they hear you,
theyll go crazy.
Any idea how much it costs
to book a chef last minute?
I was lucky I could squeeze us in,
because I...
...youre probably going to post
something about it.
Yes. As it happens, I am.
Sorry.
I dont want to be ungrateful, but
Im sitting here like some sort of
barn yard animal in pajamas
surrounded by expensive shit.
Im just not used to it.
No?
Never?
What?
Me and mom, in Krommenie?
Wed go to the Chinese restaurant
together.
wed get a spring roll
as an appetizer.
Bet you never got Chinese food
with your mom?
Right?
Yes, Ive seen youre Insta.
When we used to go out
for dinner
we were always accompanied
by a whole entourage.
Friends, as my mother called them.
Those were always fancy people.
Investors, producers...
...and I always had to join,
you know?
Little monkey in a suit.
To be honest, my mother
was never there.
Gwen always cooked.
Yes, Gwen the nanny.
-Oh my god, a nanny.
That too...
Clichs exist for a reason.
And thats why you dont really
have a personality.
Excuse me?
I think, no Im sure
that growing up
in Krommenie is much better
for your character.
Oh yeah?
Okay.
Lets see then.
Now?
Jones. Were getting off here.
Thank you kindly.
After you.
-Thank you.
Good evening.
-Hi sir.
Best fries in the village?
I was starving.
Although I would have preferred Chinese.
Everything closes here
after nine.
This is it.
The vibrant center of my youth.
This?
Yes, this. Literally.
A playground?
Learnt to walk, to build huts.
Boys against girls.
Asking each other out.
All here.
First kiss?
Here too.
Its weird.
I have no idea what thats like.
Having everything in one place...
thats pretty special.
Isnt Los Angeles also one place?
I didnt grow up there.
I mean, partially...
but also in Rio, Sydney, Hong Kong.
Villas in gated compounds.
No friends, no playgrounds.
Just endless laps in your own pool.
Your own pool?
Youre kind of sad actually.
With no girlfriend...
on a swing.
Guess its hard
to have a first kiss then..
Tell me...
was that...
here....
on this swing?
Not on, but...
Oh no.
Your Balenci...
thingies?
Come on.
I have an idea.
What are we doing?
Come on.
Its actually quite big.
My mom is asleep.
Come on then.
Seriously?
-Your foot.
A bit higher...
Sam.
Ill do it.
Not my sock!
Give it to me.
Youre not made of sugar,
are you?
Seriously?
Theres something on your shoe.
Come here.
Good evening.
Or should I say good night?
Mom, hey.
His shoes were dirty, so...
Yes, sorry miss.
Sam said you would be asleep.
Oh, did she?
And who did she say that to?
Fender. My name is Fender, miss.
I know Sam from her work
and, yeah, I stepped in the mud.
Guys are completely drenched.
Come inside, get changed
Ill put the kettle on. Alright?
Are you sure?
Of course. Come on.
Well, I guess youre about
to meet my mom.
Yeah.
The thing is...
...I still have to get some
work done.
Now?
Yeah, something for work, online,
different timezones...
Sorry.
Hey, where did he go?
Whats his name again?
Fender?
Im not going to introduce
some semi-first-date
to my mom, am I?
Why not?
You were in my garden.
Isnt it a little soon?
What do you mean, soon?
Well...
after...
everything.
He just wanted to see the playground,
then his shoes got dirty, so...
Those were some very white shoes,
werent they?
Yeah.
Bedtime?
Rather not, but...
But you you have to.
[Yesterday was fun.]
[Are you shoes dry already?]
[I almost missed the bus, because...]
[Was fun!]
Something exciting?
No, why?
I just thought so.
Nothing.
Are you also on reception
today?
No.
Okay.
Where were you last night?
-Sorry?
Where were you?
-At moms.
At moms?
-At moms, yeah...
At moms, yeah.
Is that so strange?
Emma saw you
get in that Fender guys car
but whatever...
Hey, hes a guest
at the hotel
that you work at,
thanks to me.
Dont forget that.
I was at moms.
Fine.
My shift is starting.
That Fender guy didnt show
up for breakfast today
so I sent housekeeping
to his room...
his bed was still freshly made.
Nobody slept there last night.
Thats weird, isnt it?
And you know whats
even weirder?
Miel?
I didnt dare to say it earlier because
I know were not supposed to-
If Melvin founds out that
you slept in that suite
then Ill be held responsible.
I didnt.
I was at moms.
Oh my god.
Whatever you say.
Please, listen...
He showed up at the door in a taxi,
and I couldnt really say no
so then we ended up
in Krommenie.
What?
He disappeared there
and Britney says he didnt sleep here.
What is this?
Hes not responding to my DMs anymore
so Im not sure what to do.
Show me.
Yeah. Mystery solved.
He was out with the models.
When was this?
Last night, of course.
Hes in bed with one of those women
right now.
What did you think?
Sam, dont do this.
You were on the right track.
Hi sir.
-Room 101.
Super.
That table, please.
-Thank you.
Hey.
Want to hang out
after your shift?
No?
Sorry, but...
first you run out of my garden,
then you ghost me three days
and now you expect me to
hang out with you?
No thanks.
I dont even have your number,
how can I ghost you?
On that note...
can I have your number?
Have a lovely day.
Have fun at all those
launch parties of yours
and dont even think
of responding to my DMs now.
DMs?
Forget about it, okay?
Sir?
Room 20...
- Oh, socials.
Sorry.
I dont run those myself.
Youve seen Nik around, right?
He runs all of that,
plans posts
responds to people
every so often.
What time do you finish?
No thank you.
I just dont really
know you...
and I dont really want to
anymore.
Enjoy your breakfast.
Sir?
Super.
Please take a seat
over there.
Okay, thank you.
-Great.
Room number?
Yes, that way please.
Something romantic?
No please. Action or horror?
My brain cant handle much more
at the moment.
Something with a backbone surgeon,
maybe?
From here?
Sam.
Yes?
Hey, its Fender.
Yeah, was I not clear enough?
What you said got me thinking
and...
youre right.
You dont really know me.
True.
Well, do you want to know
who I am?
To know what no one knows?
Come outside, Ill show you.
What?
Im standing outside
your door.
I cant.
Were about to watch a movie.
Oh, then Ill wait.
I have time.
If you want to know where I went
those few days, I have to show you.
Thats the only way.
Cant you just say it?
Enjoy the movie.
See you later, I hope.
Right. Okay, yeah.
Bye.
Yes, turn it on.
Hi.
Hey.
Check.
Safety first.
Whats this?
Do you make...
Do you make this?
Who the heck keeps
a whole studio secret?
And?
I just dont get it.
You make all of this?
You dont like it?
Id understand.
Would be fine.
Im just messing around.
Yes I do. Its really good.
That one is awesome.
And that one.
I dont understand this one
so well...
but that one is also gorgeous.
Why would you keep
this a secret?
Im Fender Kroon, son of...
that guy from the rooftop bars
the Get-Ready-With-Mes.
Nobody is going to take this seriously.
But its really good.
Oh yeah?
Most people dont care for it.
And you care about what people
think of you?
Thats not the point.
Its just impossible for me.
Ive posted things before
and I instantly got loads of tolls.
Hes just as talentless as his mother.
Those kinds of things.
You know, if youre like me
you might as well act the rich asshole.
Thats why I make so much
sponsored content...
so I can spend
all my spare time...
here.
So, when you disappeared...
I was here.
I wasnt ready to trust you yet.
Ive just been...
Yeah.
Yeah. That sounds familiar..
Do you want to-
-Do you have any more secrets?
No.
Well...
My left pinky toe
is really weird...
Oh? Exciting.
Hey.
I wouldnt mind a cup of coffee,
mister.
Oh, I see.
Preferably now.
You rascal.
Everything okay there?
Careful, its hot.
-Thank you.
Right. Can I have a go?
Go for it.
Take a seat, sir.
Like this?
Yeah. Try to sit still please.
Ill show you some real art.
Youre giving me high expectations.
Youll be amazed.
Okay...
Right?
The spitting image.
My turn.
Okay.
Come on, I have a fun idea.
What?
You coming?
Yeah.
Do you have any artists
that inspire you?
No, I just follow my heart.
So you dont have any idols
in the art world?
Yeah I do...
...there are just so many
of them.
What about something
like that?
That TikTok rubbish?
No.
-Says the influencer.
Come on, Im hungry.
With the fish?
With the fish,
of course.
Did you not eat anything
all day?
Battered cod...
didnt realize Id missed it
so much.
Because youre always traveling,
of course.
Mister International.
I guess so, yeah.
You never travel?
I was traveling
in Thailand...
...but I ended up coming
straight back.
Why?
I wanted a gap year.
To travel through Europe.
Work a bit, take a train somewhere
work somewhere else,
take another train...
...to see all of Europe
within a year.
But you went to Thailand...
I did go to Thailand,
yeah.
Wasnt my own choice.
I didnt want to go there
at all, actually...
...but he did.
And then...
Id rather not talk about it.
Im not like that anymore,
so...
Why dont you go anyway?
the year isnt over yet.
Right?
Is it a money thing?
If you dont want
to talk about it...
Mom is regressing.
Gradually, but faster and faster...
Is she...?
Yes, shes ill.
What does she have?
Progressive multiple sclerosis.
She can still do everything
herself now, but...
you dont know till when.
First its crutches...
but after that...
Way to kill the mood...
Do you have any good stories
about your mother?
Id have to ask someone else
because I never speak to her
myself, of course.
I organized something else as well.
How did you arrange this?
Oh, you know...
...tricks of the trade.
Good evening, Mr. Kroon.
Good evening.
Thanks again.
No problem.
Yeah, now back a bit.
A bit too little moustache...
Dog?
So you made this?
Yeah.
I understand your work...
I cant tell if thats
a compliment...
Of course it is.
Why dont you start selling them?
And then you can ditch
all the online bullshit.
Online bullshit?
Joker.
Sorry.
Trust me, shes dating him.
Let it go Miel. Isnt it nice that shes
putting herself out there a bit?
No, its not.
Shes getting all attached to one guy
which is exactly what she said
she wouldnt do anymore.
You were pretty attached
to me as well,
...incase you forgot.
But not at the cost
of the rest of my life.
Fair enough.
Youre the best.
Good morning.
Am I interrupting something?
Not at all.
You live here too, dont you?
Did you sleep well?
Sort of.
Why is that?
Just, because.
You look great though.
I dont know...
Youre glowing.
Right, Em?
Yeah, for sure.
Alright Miel, lets go.
Or well be late.
Yes.
Ill see you at work.
Yeah, maybe.
Excuse me, miss
could you help me
with something please?
You scared the
life out of me.
You could help me
instead of standing around.
Just because you dont have to work
doesnt mean I can twiddle my thumbs.
I...
thanks.
Ive got enough help.
I need to get on with this.
Have a lovely day.
Does this mountain of laundry
ever end?
And how much bedding and towels
can a person need?
Do you get it?
Are you enjoying yourselves?
Who?
You
and our guest in room 407.
We have a laugh together sometimes.
Laugh?
Nothing more?
No.
Thats just as well
because I checked in
a lady today.
Okay?
I had to register her on room...
...407.
I issued an extra keycard for her.
I dont know...
must be his girlfriend.
Are you seriously trying to meddle?
Meddle? How?
I thought there was nothing
going on between you?
As if you dont know that.
Sammy...
Do what you want with it
but at least Im honest with you.
And Im the only one
in this fucked up situation.
Miel.
Whats up?
Nothing, never mind.
Okay.
What are you doing here then?
Because I dont think
youre on reception today.
No...
Hey.
Have a nice day.
Yes, thats her.
I added her to the room.
Louisa...
...something.
She was in his bathroom.
Sorry?
She was in his bathroom.
What were you doing
in his bathroom?
Sam, what the heck
are you playing at?
Im doing my absolute best
to help you.
Ive been dealing with
all your shit.
You even have a home
thanks to me.
Okay, just because you
have your life in order
with your house, your job,
your wife
and your boring-ass thirties life
doesnt mean you have
to take it all out on me.
Because youre bored
out of your wits.
Go ahead and clock out, Sam.
No need to clock back in,
as far as Im concerned.
Fine.
Then were on the same page.
Sam?
What are you doing here?
I wanted to ask you
the same thing.
Are you Red?
we are kind of in the middle
of something.
Hey, I had to keep it secret.
If people know who I am
the work loses its value.
How many more secrets
do I have to uncover?
Sam, please.
I had no choice.
You cant trust anyone.
If people get the chance,
they always use it to-
People?
You keep talking about people,
but this is about me, Fender.
What is this?
A series, inspired by...
What is this?
Do you like them?
Theyve already been sold
for quite a lot, actually.
Guess it doesnt really matter,
right?
Im going to make
another one later.
Live.
I...
...do need to get
a move on.
Youre just going to continue?
I have to. Number four
in the series.
Im really sure its...
Sam, will you be careful?
Sam, please be careful.
I really thought you and I
were a thing.
We were. We are.
Just the Hotel Girl
says something very different.
Its just a title.
To me, youre just you.
Thats why theyre so good.
Because I managed to make
something authentic.
Because you are so real.
Real?
Real, yeah.
Do you have any idea
how rare that is
in my world?
You gave my mother crutches.
It works well in contrast with-
My mother doesnt walk
on crutches.
Yeah, but you said she was regressing?
And that story touched me,
so...
So you thought youd jump
a couple steps ahead?
For the effect?
And whats number four
going to be then?
Mom in a wheelchair?
Mom in the hospital?
Mom in a fucking coffin?
I have an idea.
I can donate the profits.
Of all those paintings.
Then you wont have to work
in that hotel of yours for a while
and you can really be there
for your mother.
Really be there for my mother?
Because Im not at the moment?
What the hell do you know
about that?
And this would all be fixed
with your money?
Because everything is for sale,
right?
You just used me.
And now you want
to buy yourself out
with a bit of money
you wont miss anyway?
How fucked up are you?
Thats not how I mean
any of this.
Im not for sale.
Sam!
Oh, darling.
Come here.
There.
Here you go.
Sam, please pick up.
Maybe its a good thing
so you can talk it through.
Ive already said everything.
Sam speaking.
Yeah.
Im afraid Im not the right person.
Im not in touch with him
anymore.
Whats the matter?
Hes in hospital.
I was the last person
he tried to call.
What?
I hung up.
Yeah, I saw that.
I cant go see him, can I?
I cant not go either.
Darling, only you know what to do.
Youre feeling what youre feeling,
so you know what to do.
But my feelings are always wrong.
Sammy-
-Always!
Thats why I never finish anything.
No school, no trip...
I have no friends left...
because I fall for the wrong guys.
I dont do anything independently.
Thats not true,
you do so much yourself.
Darling, you just need to have
a little more faith in yourself.
Faith?
-Yeah.
I dont have any.
Sam?
Sorry, did I wake you up?
Come here.
Couldnt sleep like this anyway.
You were pretty fast asleep.
No I wasnt.
-Yes you were.
Youre here.
I couldnt not come, could I?
That night...
in Krommenie...
I had to go live.
I had completely forgotten.
We were only going for dinner
in Amsterdam.
three seconds later,
were in your mothers garden
and half the night
has gone by.
All I could think about was you.
My whole head was full of you
so all I could paint was...
you.
You could have just told me.
I should have.
I didnt dare.
I just dont get it.
You had just shown everything.
Sam, it was all going so well.
It was the first time I felt like
I was really creating something.
And if I had asked-
Then I could have told you not to.
Is that what you were afraid of?
That I wouldnt give you permission?
Yeah.
Thats really not okay.
I know.
I didnt have to break them.
That was really not okay either.
The damage has made them
twice as valuable.
What?
Your world is nuts.
What are you going to do
with them?
I dont want to part with them, Sam.
Youre on them.
Will you stay with me?
That nurse was really not amused
when he found you in the bed.
No.
This is not a hotel.
I think Im going to stop...
Stop what?
RED.
For me?
Dont be so vain.
What has it actually brought me?
Nothing. Only stress, secrets...
I cant be anti-fame,
and try to stay famous
at the same time.
That doesnt work.
Maybe I can come work in the hotel
with you guys?
Or maybe I could go to art school.
To work on what I really want.
Then we could see each other a lot.
Or not?
I actually have something to tell you too.
Im leaving.
Away?
Away?
-Away, away, yeah.
Ive already booked.
Im going to go on my trip
and I have to do this.
Myself. To figure out who I am,
and what I want.
But you know yourself
better than anyone.
No.
Not entirely.
And what if I say dont go?
Stay here, stay with me.
Would you stay?
Then I would stay immediately.
But I dont want to be like that.
Ive only known you three seconds,
and already start lying to Mila.
And to myself.
And you do exactly the same.
I want to do things because
Ive chosen them myself
no because they happen to go that way.
So we both want to be together,
but were not going to do that?
Us not being together is better
for everyone.
And I dont want this either,
but I have to do it.
What did you think?
That this is a suitable time to chat?
Sorry, okay.
For what?
For everything.
Everything.
Thats quite a lot.
I kind of made a mess of things...
Kind of?
-Kind of, very.
Come in?
Yeah.
Are you sure you dont want me
to drop you off?
No need.
Im going to do this all myself.
Dont come straight back again, okay?
Im kidding.
Do come back straight away.
I cant miss you for too long.
Thank you for everything, Em.
Youre welcome.
Hurry, or youll miss your train.
Im so proud of you.
You can do this.
I can do this.
You wont be seeing me for a while.
Sammy?
