...so I said, "It's okay."
Ralph...
Sylvia was at my house. I quit.
Okay? I quit Bliss.
Wait a minute, calm down.
Sylvia is past her prime.
Pooh Bear, too. I'm about to make a move.
She normally stays out of this, but she is afraid.
Just keep going. She won't bother you anymore.
-If I quit, she won't bother me anymore. -And she wins.
Is that what you want?
So, what are you going to do?
You're going to stay strong and play along.
You're going to help me.
And if you do your job right...
she'll never bother you again.
Trust me, never again.
Do you want a drink?
-Yes. -What?
I don't know, anything.
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
WOMEN OF THE NIGHT
I was supposed to become a partner at Bliss.
Pam and I had a deal.
And all of a sudden, you're here.
-She promised me. -Listen.
I don't know what Pam promised you, but nothing is written down, right?
Or can you show me anything?
-No. -No, exactly.
Ralph asked me and I said yes. So you listen to me and do what I say,
or you leave, okay?
Last night, the police raided a warehouse in Amsterdam-Oost,
but their targets, possibly cocaine traffickers, were already gone.
No hard drugs were found, only a box of fresh fruit.
The raid is part of a clean-up, to ensure the power of...
-I'll take care of it. -Really?
How?
Criminals are always one step ahead. The police likes to raid empty units.
This is not a clean-up, it's a fuck-up. Your fuck-up.
Yeah.
Yes, very nice.
Come on.
Thank you.
Tito.
-Hi. -Hi.
-Nice motorcycle, man. -Thanks.
Where's your brother?
No idea.
That's strange.
He was supposed to deliver a package for me, but that's fine.
-Maybe you... Wait. -Sure.
-No, this is too important. -I'll arrange it with him.
-Really? -Really.
Okay then.
This is for Xandra Keizer. I'll text you the address.
Only give it to her.
-Agreed? -Agreed.
Okay then, thank you.
-Xandra, okay? Xandra Keizer. -No worries.
Is it that fuck boy again?
I won't help you if you have to fuck for money in some dirty room.
Don't be daft, Naomi. Really?
Rachid is no fuck boy.
-Do you want some more? -Sure.
Could you get that?
There you go.
-You're not Xandra Keizer, are you? -No.
That's her mom.
-Is she here? -No, why?
I have to give this to her.
-Give it to me. -No.
Only to her.
Okay.
I'll wait for her.
Do you want a drink?
Since you have to wait.
Does your girlfriend not allow you to talk to others?
-I don't have a girlfriend. -Great.
Take a seat.
Say when.
-That's fine. -Really?
Okay.
Don't you want to know what's in the briefcase?
The less you know, the less they have on you.
-Who do you mean? -The police.
What's this?
-Is this-- -Yes.
-My brother and Pooh Bear say hello. -Who's your brother?
Ralph. Ralph Konijn.
-You can go now. -Mom.
Go!
Okay.
And clean up that mess, before I have to wash vomit out of your hair again.
We have the committee on our side, but the city will only allow 15 stories.
Yeah, for now.
The other thing I wanted to do--
Okay.
You told me I wouldn't have any problems.
-Thank you very much. -You're welcome.
-We'll talk soon. -Great.
-A drink? -This was delivered to my home!
-By your brother, who gave it to Lulu. -Did Tito deliver this to you?
-Trust me, I had nothing to do with this. -No?
Okay.
So you won't mind if I throw this in the canal?
I would never send someone to your home or use Tito. Never!
I think I know who's behind this,
and I promise it won't happen again.
Ralph, why should I believe you?
You do your thing, and I will do mine. Okay?
Somebody warned them.
No hard drugs were found, only a box of fresh fruit.
Who?
What?
Someone who has access to a list.
Fuck.

What were you thinking?
-I just wanted to help you. -No. What was our deal?
-Only take assignments from you. -Or else?
-It's over. -And what did you do?
But it went fine.
Pooh Bear couldn't reach you and I wanted to help.
I don't want you to get involved. Don't you get it?
-Yeah. -Do you really get it?
-Yeah. -Come here.
You're just too sweet.
Hey.
Are you leaving?
I don't want to you to see me like this.
Don't say that.
Come here.
I want to see what you really look like.
You're gorgeous.
I loved being together.
Me, too.
We have some time left, if you want.
-Tell me what you like. -It was perfect.
You were perfect.
Will I see you again?
I hope so.
Bye.
Lulu, this is Grandma. Is everything okay?
Let's meet again. What do you think?
I always have time for you.
Are you free this afternoon?
Great.
No, I will send Rachid to pick you up.
Okay.
See you later, sweetie. I'm looking forward to it.
-What are you going to do? -I'm going to Antwerp.
To see my grandma. Do you want to come?
Fun, the two of us and that lover boy of yours.
MOM - Sorry about earlier... What do you want for dinner?
-Yes? -Are you coming? I'm outside.
Xandra, what's the problem?
Just take the suitcase and do this one little thing.
-This is just part of the job. -"Just"?
Xandra, listen to me. You do not want a fight with Pooh Bear and Sylvia.
Come on.
This is...
-way more than usual. -Apparently it's the new situation.
The new situation.
Fine, I will have someone count it.
Every job has its downsides.
Yes, I keep discovering more and more.
-Could you come here for a minute? -Yes, I'm coming.
I'll see you in a minute.
I won't do it.
Es, look at this.
-Incredible, right? -So nice.
This is real Italian velour.
Did you find a sponsor?
-This is so expensive. -It's just a sample.
It's really beautiful.
-Hey. -Hey!
-Hey, dear. -This is nice.
-How are you? Hey. -Did you see this already?
Are you coming tonight?
Is it tonight?
I can't make it.
-I have an appointment. -Do you really have to be there?
Yes.
Okay.
Maybe I'll see you tonight.
-Where are you going? -Away.
-You're staying here. -Are you going to lock me up?
-If I have to. -You're really terrible.
So I made one mistake with those IDs, but take look at yourself.
What are you doing?
Let's go.
-Have you been working for her long? -A while.
And what is she like?
What do you mean?
-Heavy. -Heavy?
-Yes? -Hey, is everything all right?
Yes, everything is fine.
-Xandra is worried. She said you-- -She flipped out again.
That's what I thought.
And you? Where are you?
-I'm going to see Sylvia. -What? No. Lulu, you can't do that.
-We were going to take this step by step. -This is my next step.
This is not a good idea.
She called and asked me to come over. What else could I have done?
-You should have called me. -And then would you have agreed?
Okay.
Lulu, call me as soon as you get there.
How long till we're there?
Not too long.
-What? -I don't know.
Sweetie, I'm so glad you had time to come over.
Come on in.
Take a seat.
-There. -Thank you.
Your head is full of questions. I can tell by those fierce eyes.
What do you want to know?
-Your mother used to live here. -Really?
If you want, I can show you her room later.
It was such an amazing time.
Especially when she was little. And later I realized...
I was much too strict with her.
But... I was a single mother,
and you try to protect your child.
Her father was not present.
I'm acting silly.
Does your mother know about this?
You will tell her when you're ready.
-Michiel thought-- -He didn't like it that we met.
Does he still think so?
-I have to take this. -It's fine.
Rachid, can you look after her for a moment?
-Hello? -Sorry to bother you.
This is Valkenier from the bank.
I didn't get the money. She brought the suitcase,
-but she left before I could take it. -What?
Yeah. I'm really sorry, but I can't help you now.
I assure you, she will be back within the next few days.
How's it going?
If it's up to the women, your guests will have an amazing night.
Ralph!
-Hey, man, everything okay? -It's going great, man.
Good to hear.
Xandra has a present for you if you win tonight.
What's your type?
-Is your picture in here as well? -No.
That's too bad.
Christine is hot.
And if I have a K.O. in round three, will you congratulate me personally?
We're counting on you. K.O. in round three.
Michiel Pressman, have you seen Karim Malat in action yet?
-A kickboxer. -World-class. Here, kickboxing event.
Fundraiser, first row. You can smell the sweat.
I'll introduce you to some nice people. See you tonight.
This lists the fruit importer as well as Bisschop and Hulst.
They're on the advisory commission. At the request of Cees de Wolf.
-Who gave you that list? -Cees.
-Yes, but who made it? -He did, himself.
-I think we have the mole. -"Have"?
Not yet. We need more.
More than this.
He gave me this.
A present from Cees.
I will go take a look.
LULU - Let me know you're okay. Call me.
Okay, ladies.
This should be a night our guests will never forget.
-So let's have an amazing night. -Will do.
The bank still hasn't received the package.
Can I talk to you for a second?
About tonight. There are three fights,
and the guests will be in the VIP area. You'll stay here until the event begins.
-What do you want? -What was that?
Tito. Make sure he stays the fuck out of this!
Ralph. That boy is eager. I gave him a chance.
Okay? So don't get worked up.
Just don't.
That suitcase...
I would worry about that.
Come on. It'll be a great night. I can just feel it.
Excuse me.
Hi.
We haven't met yet, have we?
-Michiel Pressman. -And what does Michiel Pressman do?
Michiel is the mayor's new spin doctor. A friend of mine.
Really? Cees' friends are my friends.
Have fun tonight. Great.
Michiel.
Come on, I'll introduce you to some friends.
Ralph asked me if you could give Van Leeuwen some extra attention.
Okay.
-Yes? -Did you hear from Ed yet?
-Who? -Ed, my last date.
Did he... I don't know, I...
-I thought we really connected. -I'm sure he'll contact you soon.
You have a good eye. Really.
-You should pursue it. -That's what I want.
But?
There are so many good photographers.
Sweetie, as if it matters if you're good at it.
Talent alone won't get you very far.
Especially not as a woman. You know what you need?
-Some luck? -No, not luck. Perseverance.
Going for it and never giving up.
And we have it. It's in our DNA.
If we want something, we make sure we get it.
We know we never get anything without working for it.
That you have to fight for everything, and that you're blamed for your beauty.
But that won't stop us. On the contrary.
It only makes us stronger. If we want something, we go for it.
By any means necessary.
Okay?
-Okay. -Okay.
My granddaughter will be a great photographer.
It's already eight o' clock. Can Rachid take me home?
Rachid is finished for the day.
-Then I'll take the train. -Are you insane?
My beautiful granddaughter alone in a dirty train?
I don't even want to think about it. You can just stay with Grandma, okay?
Lulu, how did it go?
Staying over? No, no...
I'll cover for you. Just keep me posted.
Okay?
Lulu...
Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for the first fight of the night.
Let's hear it for the titan Rick Kuijpers!
And his opponent.
Let me hear you one more time.
Very nice!
Sorry, I have to go.
-Hey, Ed. What a coincidence. -Hey, Rose.
-How are you? -Fine.
So funny, I was just thinking about you.
Would you like to hang out together after the match?
-No, sweetie, not tonight. -Come on, Karim is starting.
-Did Ed book Velvet? -I'm really busy.
-He was my client. -Yesterday, he was.
And today you have other clients. That's how it works.
A client books you, he pays, and that's it.
Sweetie, if you find that difficult,
you'll have to consider if this is the right job for you.
And now the match we've all been waiting for.
Can I have your attention for Karim Malat!
And in the blue corner, "The Shark," Nordi Kroes!
Both men are undefeated. Let me hear you.
Cees, do you have a minute?
That depends.
I'm working on the development for Amstel IV.
Yeah, so?
The approved building height is pretty... How should I call it?
Restrictive.
If you can help me change that, you can join in with the fun.
You work for Pooh Bear, right?
We're business partners.
So you know I can't do anything.
The city and Sylvia are breathing down my neck.
Unless you can help me with that, I'm afraid...
that there is... no fun to be had.
And what if I can relieve the pressure?
Don't promise things you can't accomplish.
I never do that.
Never.
Xandra.
What are you doing here?
-What are you doing here? -I was invited.
I'm working.
Michiel Pressman.
Husband.
Do something, God damn it!
I totally get why Lulu doesn't want to see you.
Do you know where she is?
-Do you know where she is? -We'll discuss it later.
Your husband doesn't seem to know about your job.
K.O. in the third round. Do I get my reward now?
-There you are. -I can't disappoint my clients.
This is Christine.
What do you think?
I'll leave you to it.
Here?
You're probably exhausted after a night like this.
I love you.
There you are.
Everything all right?
Tonight was perfect.
But what did I hear?
You didn't deliver my suitcase?
Are you trying to screw me over?
But I forgive you.
-You can make it up to me. -Is that right?
How?
Go with me to the Riviera.
-The Riviera? -A real estate convention.
I'm organizing a party there. Without Pooh Bear, without Sylvia.
But with Bliss.
And definitely with you.
