just soaks in the bath.

Richard is asleep.

Nobody looks after the children.

Leave through the studio, please.

Richard is in the living room.

This is not what we agreed.

I'm sorry? What use is that to me?

Set the alarm.

I'm off.

Anton!

What's the matter?

Why are you leaving?

I'm bored. I want to play.

Don't you want to stay?

Not if I have to hide.

I want to eat with you at the big table.

Richard will have a fit.

That's why I'm leaving.

You mustn't go.

Can't you come back in another capacity?

It's possible.

But it will have consequences.

That gardener...

Do you have a special connection with him?

No...

Does he have a wife?

- Yes.

Hey, Camiel.

Brenda!

For you.

Yes, Brenda here.

Are you somewhere?

No problem.

Got the necessaries?

The necessaries. The material.

Two bags of mortar, four buckets

and a tub to mix it in.

And we need a car.

That's no problem.

You must look civilised. Immaculate.

I'll ring you about that.

Hello?

Anyone in here?

Jesus man, what's the matter with you?

I'm not well.

I'll ring a doctor.

- No!

Home first. I want to go home first.

Do you have a car? Can I take you there?

Please, please.

Where do you live?

Oh god, my darling.

Doesnt look good.

I'm going to call the doctor.

The doctor is on the way. I took

the liberty of ringing a specialist I know.

A specialist? In what?

Poisoning. Dr Kaper is a toxicologist.

Poisoning?

Your husband's been poisoned,

that's obvious.

Do you think so?

- Yes, I think so.

Poisoned who by in heaven's name?

- I have no idea.

Who could do such a thing?

My husband is all kindness.

Darling boy...

Darling boy, don't die please.

If anyone can save your husband

it is Dr Kaper.

Drinking a lot...

...always helps.

That's right.

Good afternoon, I'm Dr Kaper.

Good afternoon, I'm...

Very nice of you to come.

- No problem.

I brought my daughter along.

We were on our way to a wedding.

He has just lost consciousness.

You're thinking of poison?

This man's got to be taken to a hospital

double quick.

Everything will be all right, madam.

What are you doing?

I was looking for sand to mix through

my paint. I tripped over.

But darling, you don't need to tidy that up.

That's what the gardener is for.

The gardener resigned.

Why?

It was getting too much for him, he said.

Just like that?

Yes, I think his wife is ill.

He didn't want to go into it.

Oh, Richard...

I'm so sorry.

You are my only real love.

You know that, don't you?

Of course I know that.

Sometimes everything seems unreal to me.

Do you think I'm hysterical?

- Not at all.

We must trust each other...

I trust you like no other.

...And love each other.

- Without you I'd be lost, really.
