The Bouncer (Lukas) (Lukas)

I'm just defending myself. Fuck!

Did you sleep well? - Yes

Are you hungry? - A little, yes.

What is "2B"?

It's a pencil. Don't mess up. I need exactly that pencil.

Do you really need all this?

And a pack of "Canson" paper.

Don't worry, I'll take care of it.

Let's go. Hurry up, Sarah. Let's go!

Sir. - Yes?

We still haven't received the last month tuition.

You'll get it this week. - This week without fail.

Have a good day, sir. - Have a good day, ma'am.

Ah! - Let's go.

Let's go! - Let me go man! Oh! Fuck!

She spilled a fucking drink on me. - Keep moving.

Get the fuck off me!

Come down. - I'm fucking calm.

This 'ho' spills a fucking drink on me,

and then your dumbass drags me here all the way through the fucking bar.

Stay here. - Don't fucking touch me, man!

You don't know who the fuck I am?

Your sorry ass is gonna get in a lot of trouble for this. For nothing!

She's just a bitch. Like you!

Shit, man.

Lukas? Hey, Lukas, get out of here.

The police came.

I told them it was him who attacked the waitress,

but they didn't care, I think they are going to press charges.

They fired you.

I hope you don't get into trouble because of that bastard.

What are you going to do?

Look for a job.

I have a job for you. There is a strip club in Ixelles.

An uncle told me they are looking for a bouncer. If you are interested, you can sign up.

I don't speak Flemish.

Follow me.

We open from Wednesday to Sunday.

You gotta be focused, because they are naked girls,

so things could easily get fucked up with the clients.

No smoking no drinking. You get paid every night.

It's simple. The last man standing gets the job.

Speak in English.

What is your name? - Lukas.

You start Friday.

Who did that to you?

Someone at work.

Does it hurts?

A little.

Did they push you?

Do you know what the good part is? - No

I stay at home tonight.

It's hard. - Wait. You put your hand like this ...

...cut in this way.

Did you understand? Be careful with your finger.

Very well.

Until tonight

I'm sorry I'm late.

Is everything okay, sir? - All good.

Police. We have to ask you, What happened at work?

Can you come with us, please?

So, you are telling me that you didn't hit him... hmmm...

...is that right?

You know... I have a 16 year old son.

I talk a lot with him.

He comes up with theories about justice...

...the planet, humanity... It makes you want to smack him.

Just to see what happens.

And also to see if he still keeps having the same vision of things.

The guy that you hit, his father is an official of the European Union.

That's where thing gets complicated, and we were screwed to leave soon.

The night club you used to work at, They don't know anything about you.

You live alone with your daughter.

She goes to school with a false last name.

We don't know who you are or why are you hiding

The only thing I know is that your name is Lukas ...

You are a bouncer, and you beat up a guy and you left it for me.

What do you want?

I'll tell you what I want. I'm not here to fuck you

If you hide because you did something stupid somewhere... I don't care.

What I want is for you to work for me

You help me and I'll fix your problem in the night club.

Hey, I don't work for the Belgian police.

I am the guy they call when there is an...

...important problem in any part of Europe.

I have been asked to track a Dutch who has come here to do business.

He counterfeits money. Around 20 countries put pressure on me to capture him.

What do I have to do with that?

The guy I'm talking about. His name is Jan Dekkers.

He just hired you in his strip club.

I want you to lookout. If you see any thing, you call me. That simple.

I'm not interested.

I already told you... I have a lot of room for maneuver...

...what I want to say is that I prefer you don't have problems with the law...

How can I tell a judge to lock you up?

Your daughter would go with a host family...

...and if you want to move, you are tagged.

This is my number, memorize it.

If you see anything, you call me.

Where's Jan? - He is busy.

Do you think I'm gonna wait for Jan all night long, sitting here and drinking water?

He can't make it tonight, he is sorry.

Tell him to go and fuck himself.

Do you see that girl over there? Take her back to her hotel...

...don't leave her alone one second.

Make sure she's safe. OK?

Come back here.

What is your name?

Lukas

Do you do everything he tells you to do? Are you your lapdog?

My name is Lisa.

I just told you since you don't ask me.

Just by seeing you, it seems that you are better at fighting ...

...than at having a conversation.

It's OK, it's OK. I'm just kidding.

Enough!

She has an Italian accent. - That does not tell me anything.

How old is she? - 30, 35

She gets into the club and doesn't pay anything. - Who is she? His new lover?

I don't know.. - I'm going to investigate that.

Okay, start earning his trust.

These people don't trust anyone.

Even the Devil needs helpers

Easy. Don't grab me so hard

Softly.

Hey. What do you want from me?

Jan wants to see you. Outside.

What do you want?

We wanna know who you are.

I am the bouncer at the strip club.

You only got one number in your phone...

Hey?.. Hello?... Hello, Dad?

Hello?

Start the car.

Where are you from?

From here.

Nobody knows you. Why?

I was a bodyguard... abroad.

Where about? - South Africa

That's nice. Why did you come back?

My wife died.

Keep right.

Come.

You're a bodyguard, no?

He's okay.

So, you got some good news for me?

They don't want to do business with you.

Why?

They already have some business with guys in the Netherlands...

...and they don't trust you.

Listen...

I pre-sold everything... and now you tell me

that I can't deliver the product because of some Dutch fuck?

don't blame it on me. - I do blame it on you.

You told me there wouldn't be any trouble.

They are Dutch for christ sake, they are our fucking neighbors.

You know what? Ask them what they want.

I'll give it to them. Anything. So they know they can trust me.

I'll work it out. - Yeah... you better work it out.

Let's go.

This is where you live?

Yeah. - Your daughter... what's her name?

Sarah.

You leave her alone when you're at work?

Yeah.

You better go see her, then.

Wait.

Keep the car.

I don't need it. - I'll go back with Geert.

I'm telling you, keep it. It's my treat.

Enjoy your time with your daughter.

He knows where I live now.

He is watching me.

Go see him and ask him if he can put you to the test.

Jan has been talking with a middleman.

An antiquarian who has a gallery in Ixelles.

You have to put him in contact with the Dutch.

Why?

I'm not sure. They have something he wants.

He's in a hurry to get it. - Try to find out more.

In fact we have been able to trace the Italian girl...

...that you took to her hotel, Lisa Zaccherini,

sentenced in 2013 for falsifying documents.

There is a good reason why Jan brought her from Italy. I'll take a look at that.

Hello? - You drove Lisa back the other day.

Yes - Go get her at her hotel.

When? - Right now.

OK.

The horse riding was great. Can I go back tomorrow?

We'll see, if it's possible...

Hello. - Good Morning!

What is your name? - Sarah.

You're very pretty, Sarah. And you seem so much nicer than your father.

Where are we going? - Go down the Boulevard ...

I'll give you directions.

It's done. - OK.

I'm gonna text you an address. Meet me there immediately.

Who did you speak with in English?

I'll be back in 5 minutes.

Go inside. Geert is waiting for you.
