We're having a night out.

Stop worrying.

It's not your fault.

These things happen.

What do you want to drink, Felix?

I'll have a beer.

Another mineral water for you?

I'd prefer...

-No, that makes you gain weight.

A mineral water then.

I had to change all his pants.

We need to cheer Felix up tonight.

He's taking it too personally.

I don't understand it.

Two red wine, a beer and a

mineral water.

Are you two doing alright?

The two of us? Why?

Are you sure there isn't

someone else?

You mean another woman?

It can happen to anyone.

No, not Felix. What an idea.

It could have been.

No, that's not like Felix.

Good, that would only have caused

misery.

I told Kees years ago.

If I find out there's another

woman...

either you go or I go.

He understood. He wouldn't dare.

A complete maintenance job?

Aren't you exaggerating?

We've got enough work already.

I'd feel better. There has to be

something wrong.

I understand how you feel, Felix.

But it wasn't your fault.

The police say they're accidents.

Why would I think otherwise?

I want to know the cause.

It's not normal.

Breuker checked the entire lift

last month.

He spent weeks on it.

He had problems with it too.

Who told you that?

-That's what they say.

It's our newest model.

With the newest electronics and

security.

They spent years of research and money

on it.

So maintenance takes a bit longer.

You have to get used to

the technology.

And the maintenance log?

-Which maintenance log?

There was no maintenance log.

Did you check everywhere?

I couldn't find it.

I don't know.

I'll ask Steensma. It's his

responsibility.

But don't you worry.

If anything had been wrong, Breuker

would have told me.

Take some days off.

-Why? I feel fine.

In a couple of months, we'll merger

with the Americans.

That will mean a lot of work.

So don't create any problems.

I just try to do my work well.

You're one of our best mechanics.

Would you like a promotion?

I'll see what I can do.

We'll discuss it later.

That would be inconvenient.

Hello, Felix.

-Hey, Spiekie.

Do you know the blonde from

administration?

I have a date with her.

Everybody does.

-They say she shaves down there.

Is it growing that fast?

Soon, I'll be able to tell you all

about it.

Another bloody salami sandwich.

Did you know Breuker well?

Not very well. I went to see him.

He was a mess. he didn't even

recognize me.

Could Breuker be the type to...

mess with a lift?

What do you mean?

Unscrew a few bolts, out of

revenge.

No, he was a strange guy, but he

loved lifts.

I worked with him a few times.

He only talked about his work.

No, that's nonsense.

Strange how someone can change from
