Good morning, police. Age check.
May I see your IDs, please?
Will you check that table?
How old are you?
Woof.
- What?
- Look behind you.
WOOF MARJO! EIN TALKS ON
Thirty years of Palazzo.
With an open bar and lots of erotic acts.
No admission under the age of 18.
Hey, neighbor! Looking good.
Looking good too.
Goddammit.
Jesus. Are you all right?
You've got a couple of missed calls.
Yes. Morning shows
that want an interview.
Where are the Band-Aids?
Top left drawer.
It's 9:20.
You are listening to The Morning.
The main story of the weekend
was Meatballgate at the AMAs.
For those that are unaware,
where have you been?
At the after-party,
Marjolein and Betty
- Turn this off.
- Wait.
The reason for the fight is said
to be a sexting video of Marjolein
that has been circulating everywhere
since yesterday.
Doggie wants to go for a walk.
We have Betty Jonkers on the phone.
Morning, Betty. How are you?
Hi, Tina. Good morning.
All things considered,
I'm doing fine, thank you.
It was a shock, of course.
Back in the day,
people used to throw stuff.
Right, that story.
teddy bears,
even boxer shorts once, I kid you not.
Tell us again what happened.
- We're not listening to this.
- Wait.
I was just catching up with an old friend
when I was attacked out of nowhere.
I had no idea what hit me.
Marjolein allegedly accused you
of leaking the video.
The porn video, you mean? How?
It seems obvious
that that filth wasn't meant for me.
- I wonder if she leaked it.
- Marjolein?
Fucking cunt!
Babe.
That bitch is dead, I swear.
It's probably wise if we
Fuck off!
I lost my job.
I can't go out. And now this?
Jesus Christ!
Sorry, I have to take this.
Yes.
What?
He's in the van.
We're waiting for the mother.
My sincerest apologies.
This is an uncommon mistake by my staff.
That boy was 15.
I assure you that it won't happen again.
It has happened before.
- A year and a half ago.
- Once.
You received a warning back then,
so you know what's next.
Are you serious?
Every 15-year-old smokes,
whether it's here or elsewhere.
Are you going to close me for a month?
Not me. It's the mayor who decides.
But don't make any big plans.
How is this possible?
How often have I said
we need to watch this?
They overlooked him.
They didn't notice him sitting there.
Why do we have security, then?
Dennis starts at 10:00.
It's too early before then.
How did they know?
The police.
Why do they barge in at 9:15 a.m.?
Hey. I just want to ask you something.
Hey.
This is my Rolex, buddy.
Hey, police! Help!
Go ahead, call them.
Explain to them
how you got a 25-grand watch.
Your wife gave it to me.
And two G's to go party.
I had to be at The Jackal by 9:15 a.m.
Give it back to me.
Give it back.
And now get lost.
Beat it. Go on.
What do you want, Jack?
Stop fucking me over, Betty.
Stop yelling or I'll hang up.
No, you will not hang up.
- Betty, listen
- I know what you did to Guido.
What do you mean?
Murderer.
You don't know anything.
I might not have proof,
but I can still use it.
What's your plan, Betty?
Do you want me locked up?
I'll lose my permits and be closed.
Is that what you want?
You won't get anything either.
I've had enough, Betty.
Leave us alone or else
Or else, what?
Your threats are
as feeble as your erections.
Everyone's watching.
Everyone wants to hear my story.
If you lay a finger on me,
the whole world will know.
Edie, girl! Come here!
I'm so done with this shit.
What happened?
We're going to tame that bitch.
Cerrado.
For as long as that one stays open.
I've asked security
to check all ID cards.
Betty will find something else.
It's all going to go to shit.
Can't your dad give her what she wants?
She has refused 20 million.
What?
- Yep.
- Damn, that woman is nuts.
Yep. They're both crazy.
My dad too.
First the baby, then the Tichelaars.
Who are they?
The new growers. Google them.
I told him I don't trust them at all.
Fermé. Geschlossen.
I don't understand
how he can be this stupid.
And who has to clean up the shit?
When you're done, you can go.
Such a plot-twist.
And we're going to milk it
for all it's worth.
The foie gras.
You can put it there.
Meatballgate is a hit on TikTok.
"Forever Pour Toujours" has been streamed
1,183,000 times this weekend.
Interview requests are pouring in.
If we play this right,
it will be the biggest comeback
since Tina Turner.
I want Sammy to interview me.
Sammy, no. That's tricky. No.
You said the requests are pouring in.
For loads of different talk shows.
Sammy has a different target audience.
Just say that I have
news about Marjolein.
They hate each other's guts.
I just don't think
it's a good idea, Betty.
A comeback should be a positive story.
Edie, darling.
You don't answer your phone for 12 years,
and suddenly you're here.
It's fine. That's how things work.
If you want me to keep
answering my phone,
you'll get me that interview
with Sammy soon, okay?
I will.
- The bill, please.
- I'm paying.
Are you nuts? Jack's paying.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
- Make that 200.
- Thank you, madam.
It doesn't seem to be working.
Can I try this one?
This one either.
How awkward.
- Edie, can you take care of this one?
- Of course.
Yeah. Thanks, darling.
Also 200?
What?
FREE
Hey, get lost! Those are my clothes!
- Free!
- No way! That's mine!
Free!
I'll rip your filthy mustache off
if you don't let go.
Here. Go play.
Jack, open up.
Open the door, you asshole!
I can't hear you.
I can't understand you.
Who are you calling?
- Yes?
- Let me in!
Calm down or I'll hang up.
- Don't you dare.
- I'm hanging up.
She'll leave.
What is that toddler doing in my house?
Oh, okay. Yeah, nice.
Is this how we're doing this?
- Jesus.
- What are you doing, lunatic?
- So you can hear me?
- This is bulletproof glass.
I'm calling the police.
No, I'm calling them.
- This is Betty Jonkers.
- This is Jack van Doorn.
- There's an intruder.
- Domestic abuse.
- He's dangerous.
- My wife is destroying the house.
- Torenlaan 52, Loosdrecht.
- Torenlaan 52, Loosdrecht.
Thank you.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
GARAGE DOOR
No. No, Betty.
No!
No!
Fucking asshole!
How do you turn it off?
PASSWORD
Password? How do I know?
INCORRECT PASSWORD
Goddammit, fucking phone!
That makes no sense.
I can't enter my own house?
We understand your frustration,
but there's nothing we can do.
You're the police.
This is his house too.
We can't just enter.
Oh yeah?
What if I told you about illegal
firearms? Check in the basement.
Betty, please.
She's just making stuff up.
And she is holding my dog hostage.
He is a gangster. Just so you know.
Everything has been paid for
with dirty money.
I own some coffee shops.
We know who you are.
"We know who you are."
We are sorry, madam.
This is a private matter.
We can't act without a court order.
But what am I supposed to do?
Sleep under a bridge?
He's taken my money.
Madam, we advise you to get a lawyer.
- That's what I've been saying.
- Shut up, old fart.
- Old fart?
- Yes.
If you want to talk, we'll talk.
Until then, you're not getting a dime.
Then we'll see how long you'll last.
Are we done? Thank you.
- Come, Buddy.
- No, Buddy. Come.
Ask him what carpe vitam means.
Do you hear me, little Marjolein?
What is she talking about?
No idea.
May I ask one more thing?
- Don't come here.
- Where am I supposed to go?
Jack locked me out.
I am literally homeless.
I don't want him to know I'm helping you.
He's very angry.
Exactly. That means
I'm hitting him where it hurts.
I helped you with the phone and the boys.
I'm done now.
- Yes?
- I hear you.
But we're not quite there yet.
I can only help you once I get my money.
Jack wants to give you 20 million.
Says who?
It's more complicated than that.
Lots of "ifs" and "buts."
Katya is very pissed, by the way.
What did she say?
That you have lost it.
And frankly, I couldn't agree more.
You're destroying each other.
Jack is involved with criminals
What?
Fuck.
Explain.
No.
Come on. Finish what you started.
What criminals?
Former hormone mafia.
Now they do weed. The Tichelaars.
Well,
that again proves how dangerous he is.
He should be stopped.
I'm out, Betty.
Do you have some money for a hotel?
Yeah.
Some.
I've got
five, ten, twenty.
A credit card might be better.
Do you have one?
What the fuck?
Nothing?
A bottle of perfume.
I'll go get something.
There's a good caterer in the village.
What do you fancy?
Hey, are you okay?
Yes, I'm just a bit dizzy. It's fine.
Go lie down on the couch.
I'll look after you.
Okay?
We could watch a movie
or go in the hot tub.
Let's just relax.
Sounds amazing.
- I'll be right back.
- Okay.
Hey, hon. How are you?
What do you think?
Honey, I really understand
how you must feel.
What's happening between your dad
and me is just between us,
although it might
feel different at times.
Can't you find a way to work it out
before you destroy everything?
Honey, there are so many things
I want to say.
There's so much going on,
but I'm not going to.
Your father loves you,
and you love your father.
I just want you to know
that I love you too.
Very much, actually, and I miss you.
I know. I love you too.
Okay, sweetheart, see you soon.
- See you soon.
- Okay. Bye-bye.
- Yes. Okay.
- Sammy's waiting.
We are live in five,
four, three, two, one
Hello, everyone. Welcome.
What are you doing here?
I don't have long.
We can make this quick.
We've heard you're having problems.
An angry wife,
the farm busted,
the meatball incident,
and now the shop closures.
Are you watching me?
You're not our only
customer in Amsterdam.
Okay, what do you want, Tichelaar?
Are you happy with the first batch?
- Yes. It's good quality.
- Happy to hear that.
It's too soon for a new order.
If that's what you're after.
No, that's not why I'm here.
I'm here to offer my help.
I don't need help.
Are you sure?
I know how dangerous
an angry wife can be.
Everything is under control. Thank you.
I'm not your enemy, Jack.
I want our collaboration
to be successful.
That's only possible
if you're successful.
We can do much more than supply weed.
We can make all problems with Betty
melt away like snow in summer.
We're not doing this.
We're not making things more complicated.
- You underestimate me.
- No, you underestimate me.
I'll handle this myself.
Yes?
Looking for something?
Jesus. You scared me.
I called, but you didn't hear me.
Want to know what's inside?
No problem.
We used to deal in cash.
I often kept it in the house.
People knew.
I had to be able to protect myself.
With grenades?
Oh, well.
Everyone had them.
Different times
in the Red Light District back then.
It was like the Wild West.
I've never had to use any of this stuff.
Time to clear this out.
Sorry, I shouldn't have snooped.
It's fine.
It's your house too.
I don't have any secrets.
- Are you hungry?
- Yes.
Well, let's eat, then. Come on.
But our first topic is
the revival of pop star Betty Jonkers.
Pour toujours.
- Pour toujours.
- Come join me on the couch.
Welcome.
Betty, welcome. Let's start with you.
What's been happening is unreal.
Your life has been turned upside down.
It's like you've been hit by a tornado.
My head is still spinning.
You don't know how to clean it.
Of course I do.
- You do?
- Yeah.
Tell me how.
Cut it in the middle and open it.
- Open it?
- Then it's clean.
Since the break-up with Jack
and his affair with Marjolein Hofman,
everyone seems to be talking about you.
- "#Team Betty" is trending.
- She's at Sammy's.
People play your music.
The world sympathizes with you.
What a cliché, right?
Dumped for a younger woman
after a 20-year marriage.
And you can take the dumping literally
Sorry.
He is known as the pirate
in photos with George Clooney, but
- King Cannabis.
- I want to see it.
The truth is, he's a dangerous criminal
with blood on his hands.
He does business
with gangsters from the Achterhoek.
There.
Every grower is a so-called gangster.
- But that's not how
- Jack threatened to kill me today.
- As his ex-wife, I know too much.
- Threatened?
So if you read an obituary tomorrow,
I am healthy.
I am not suicidal,
and I still enjoy life, even without him.
That's why I want to address
little Marjolein now.
Oh no.
- Mar, girl.
- Jesus.
- You are now carrying his child.
- Oh no.
Wait a second.
- Marjolein is expecting Jack's child?
- No!
- Off.
- Yes, and it upsets me.
She needs to know what environment
the child will grow up in.
Jack is very dangerous.
Little Marjolein, think long and hard
ALL ON
Come on.
Let's have our dinner.
I'm not hungry now.
Have you asked him
what he did with Guido?
You have got to be kidding me.
You know who Guido is, right?
His good friend.
Found dead in the IJ.
The den wasn't his, but Jack's.
Quite convenient, Guido ending his life.
- Ask him where he was on Thursday night.
- Shut up!
Was he in bed with you? That old fart.
Where were you Thursday night?
Marjolein, please.
Just tell me. What's the problem?
There is no problem.
At The Jackal.
I was working late.
What?
- Betty sent me a message.
- Huh?
She says you'd say that.
I was working.
- Well
- What?
Jesus.
- What?
- Well
Your staff's phone numbers.
Oh, come on, really?
So if I call them,
they'll confirm you were at The Jackal?
Please just tell me they'll confirm it.
I don't know.
Now you don't remember?
It was an incredibly busy time.
The break-up,
you told me you were pregnant.
Maybe I went for a walk.
So you weren't at work?
Cut it out. This is what she wants.
What's wrong?
What's wrong, babe?
Is it your belly?
Is it?
Ms. Hofman?
I understand your concern,
but let's not assume the worst.
- How far along are you?
- Six weeks, I think.
Let's take a look.
Don't get startled. This may feel cold.
This is the amniotic sac.
Let's have a listen.
That's the heartbeat.
150 beats per minute.
Twice as many as an adult's. Perfect.
You may sit up.
Everything looks great.
Thank God.
But your blood pressure is too high.
Have you been feeling stressed?
Stress is never good,
especially not during pregnancy.
So try to avoid it as much as possible.
This was your body sending a signal.
It's crucial
that you take good care of yourself.
Okay, thank you.
- What's up?
- I'm going home.
I need time to figure it all out.
Why?
Because of Betty's bullshit?
You don't believe that, do you?
I don't know what to believe anymore.
Marjolein, please.
Don't give her what she wants.
This is what she wants.
This is all going way too fast.
Two weeks ago,
I was just having an exciting affair.
Now I'm pregnant.
I've lost my job.
I'm scared to go out.
I live in a house
that is haunted by your ex. I mean
Yeah.
That photo will go.
I'm just getting to know you.
And I'm not sure if I want this.
Just wait a second.
I love you.
More than anything.
I know I've made mistakes.
I have fucked up
many things in my life,
but this is different.
You and me. It's a fresh start.
Give me a chance
not to fuck this up as well.
You heard the doctor.
I need to look after myself.
I really want to think.
I asked a friend to pick me up.
Marjolein, please.
Stay.
I'll call you.
And? Did you watch it?
Did I watch it?
I've been playing it on repeat all night.
Are you happy?
Well, I'm not unhappy.
It was a tremendous success.
Everyone wants you,
and not just for interviews.
I have three requests for performances.
It's not Ahoy yet,
but more emails
are pouring in as we speak.
How do you feel
about getting back on stage?
Why not?
As a single woman,
I have to make my own money.
It's been a while.
Can I hug you?
Yes, of course.
I never had any issues with you.
Yeah, I know.
I'm so happy to see you.
Yeah, me too.
How are things?
Have you heard we are getting a divorce?
Yeah, that was hard to miss.
Did you speak to him?
No. I don't care about that one bit.
Oh, not one bit?
- No. That's a closed chapter.
- Closed chapter.
Okay, so
This shop isn't to get attention?
"Daddy, look."
I know how to take The Jackal.
But I need your help.
Interested?
TELEVISION
ALL ON - OFF
Can we have a picture with you?
Oh, I really want to.
- Okay, bye.
- Thanks.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye.
Buddy.
Baby, where are you?
