one day to the next.

It happens.

One day they're fine and

the next...

I have to talk to you, Spiekerman.

Yes, boss.

Go see him. He might be doing

better now.

I know, Karel.

Sorry, I forgot...

No, we're partners. I know.

I'll send the quote today.

I'll do it.

Give my regards to your wife.

Yes, I will. Bye, Karel.

He never does it.

What?

-Give me your regards.

Sometimes I think he suspects

something.

No, he's too busy. Like you.

You have to relax... partner.

What's wrong?

-I don't want the employees to know.

You never worry about that.

And your secretary won't be back

until 2 pm.

We have to be careful.

Relax. No one will know.

A drink?

If Ravenstein saw that...

Don't worry. He's having fun.

Yes, it's Wednesday.

We'll be more comfortable on

the couch.

Where's your daughter?

She's playing outside. Don't worry.

You're wearing your black lingerie.

Only for you.

Why did you scream?

What did you do?

Come...

It's always something with you.

Are you a relative?

-No, a colleague.

How is he?

No change.

A strange case.

He always sits in the middle

of the room.

He's afraid of the walls.

Mr Breuker.

Someone to see you.

Get a chair.

What's wrong with his hands?

Last week he broke the TV screen with

his hands.

We don't know why.

Let me know when you're leaving.

He's had a lot of sedatives.

He won't talk much.

Do you remember me? Adelaar,

from work.

From the lift factory.

We never talked very much.

What's wrong with the lift?

You must know.

You've worked on it for weeks.

There have been accidents.

People died...

You have to tell me what you know.

What's wrong with that lift?

Your colleague just left.

My colleague?

From the computer firm. Don't you

know him?

He was here to check the electronic

installation.

Lifts are pretty complicated.

You bet.

The things he did! The lifts

were out of order for an hour.

For an hour?

Yes, it can take a while.

I hope you're not going to do

that too.

No, I just came to see if everything's

still working.

You had me worried. My feet hurt

from all those stairs.

That's all we have about

Rising Sun.

Do you understand it all?

It's one of the largest internationals

in electronics.

Did you know that?

Is there anything wrong with that?

"Charged with bribing politicians

and industrial espionage."

So what? They all do that.

They were on TV the other day.

Rising Sun?

In a scientific program.

When was that?

Last week. Didn't you see it?

No.

But someone else did.

Let's have a coffee. You can tell

me what's bothering you.

I think I understand.

A lift has a mechanical part

and an electronic part.

The electronic part controls

the lift.
