of dead rats.
Dozens of them, inside.
If you want excitement, find
another job.
The lift!
There's someone here.
-The lift's going up.
That's strange.
The stairs! We'll catch him
by surprise.
It's on the 10th floor.
It stopped. It's at the 15th floor.
Isn't that the restaurant floor?
-Maybe he's hungry.
Are you alright?
Kees!
There's something down here.
There's a man down there.
Help!
Get me out! Quick!
Shall I get some soap?
The lift!
The lift!
It's stopping.
Kees, where are you?
Vice was even worse.
I remember a psychopath.
He'd picked up a girl.
And he gave her a sleeping pill.
He cut her up with a chainsaw.
A Black and Decker, I believe.
He cut her in half.
You get used to it.
Not all crazy people are locked up.
It may be routine for you...
but I don't experience these
It's unbelievable.
They told me this lift was
absolutely safe.
And look what happens.
It's not the first lift accident.
And it won't be the last.
I don't like lifts. I prefer
the stairs.
I suffer from claustrophobia when
I'm in an enclosed area.
That's why I'm a police man,
not a criminal.
I'd rather put others in a cell
then myself.
Do you know how many people get stuck
No idea. 100? 200?
Ah, Smit. I just asked
this gentleman...
how many people get stuck
in lifts each year.
-A quarter of a million!
Each year!
Those are the facts.
Did you go to the hospital?
-The night watchman can't tell us much.
He's in shock.
can talk.
That won't help us.
He did say there was someone else
in the building.
They were going after someone.
In the building? A burglar?
-That's all I could get out of him.
do with it.
We'll check if there were signs
of burglary.
We'll have to wait until our friend can
give a full statement.
He's our only witness.
And the blind man?
Mr. Vink. He must have fallen in
the lift shaft yesterday.
He had just bought a holiday house.
Looks like an accident.
Was there a mechanic?
He started this morning. He must
be almost finished.
Are you doing ok?
Why? Who are you?
Mieke de Beer of the New Review.
The New Review?
I've seen it in people's cat litter box.
-Our readers are everywhere.
Aren't you a bit late?
I took pictures this morning.
I thought no one was allowed in.
-That's what almost everyone thought.
Impressive.
Are you from Rising Sun?
-No, from the lift company.
That's something else.
For your readers?
For my private collection.
I heard you've been here all day.
That's correct.
What was that?
Air circulation in the shaft.
