We've located Mr. Wesselinck,

but he's in Eindhoven.

Now listen here, Mr. De Waal.

Mr. Wesselinck

has not been in Eindhoven for four years.

Do you know where he is?

Mr. Wesselinck?

He's there. Right there.

In his new tower. There he is.

And if he's not here before 11:00,

you will have

some deaths on your hands.

Understood?

- The "D" for number eight.

- The "D" for eight.

On position six.

Woede...

What comes before it?

We have 30 seconds left, right?

- Boete... Boetedoening.

- It could be anything. Wait a second.

PARTY:

- That's wrong.

- This...

Yes, it fits.

- Boetedoening.

- Let's see if that's correct.

Some people say you're a real killer.

Are you?

Yes. Well, when I want something done,

when something's important to me,

I push the limit.

It's inevitable in this company.

But to call me a killer...

Some...

Some colleagues

also call you a very special person.

John, it's Gerard. Am I interrupting you?

No, you're not.

I need to talk to you.

Where are we going?

I owe you an apology, John.

I will skip the details and tell you directly

that I have read all your letters.

We received many letters

when the wide-screen TV was introduced,

and all complaints

amounted to the same thing.

Customers felt compelled

to buy something new,

while A:
Their old device isn't outdated yet,

and B:
The new one

doesn't live up to expectations.

Precisely.

The fact is that all those people are right.

So that's not interesting, John.

I thought, perhaps

we could

talk to each other here in private.

Right?

I've kept all your letters.

Did you know that?

Those letters were striking.

You were the only one who touched on

a whole different side of the wide-screen TV.

I was astounded how someone

without much technical knowledge

could pinpoint the weak spot.

What exactly do you know, John?

How long have you known?

You can speak freely here.

There's only a few tame sheep.

What are you up to?

What do you plan on doing

with your knowledge?

Do you want war? Is that it?

Do you want to destroy me? Is that it?

Do you intend

to f***ing ruin everything

with that smirk on your face?

You are a killer.

Bullshit.

We'll have a drink.

I do have one more question for you.

Why don't you come and work for me?

I want to finish

my 40 years with the bus company.

You are much too smart

for bus line 37.

You know too much.

Damn it, John.

Why haven't you told me Elly left you?

She hasn't left me. It's only temporary.

- Leeuwenkamp has cancer.

- What?

Now watch.

You bastard.

We'll see who's in charge here.

John.

John.

God, they've really had a go at you.

You scared me.

How are you?

- I thought you wouldn't pull through.
