I hope he's eating well. His father's detective job isn't going well.
He's started drinking again. He doesn't look good.
Darling, don't worry about him.
Should I check and see what we can do through the courts?
Max has no income. My studio is really making money.
- The judge would give us guardianship. - Prick!
Maybe he just needs some more time.
We've only recently separated.
Sam, have you got everything?
- Mm. - Mmm.
- Sam! - I forgot something.
- Hey, we've got to go, huh? - I'll be right there.
Did you enjoy your weekend, Sam?
Hey, did you enjoy it just a little?
Enrico asked you something.
Can't he play some good music?
There!
Oh, just be patient. I've nearly got it.
Sterre.
Look. Just look. Isn't that great? I got it.
You're welcome.
- Hi, Sterre. - Hi, Sam.
- Is that him? - Yes. Since he was a flier, I'm going to let him fly away.
- Hi, Femke. - Hi, Sterre.
Sam's next door neighbor. They've known each other for ever.
- Hello, Enrico. - Sterre.
- Do you like the salsa? Sam's looking for a dance partner. - Yes!
- I'll think about it. - Okay. - You don't mean it, do you?
Later.
Hey, Sam?
- Hi, Pop. - Hi, son.
- How was it? - They had a dance competition.
Luckily I took some games.
Bills.
Did anyone call? A new client?
- Are you hungry? - Hungry as a horse.
- Sam? We could fix some snacks. - Yes, great. - Hey.
- Cheese and sausage. - There's a green mold on it.
Come on, Pop. The sausage is full of worms.
I just ate some yesterday. Look.
It'll be a feast... Oh! That tastes the best.
Best before 2005.
I haven't even opened it.
- I have 10 Euros. I'll order a pizza. - A pizza?
You can't just one pizza, you...
Pizza's!
- Pizza, pizza, pizza. - Thank you.
- What do I owe you? - 32 euros. - 32? That's nothing.
- Thanks a lot. - Just look.
- Joker. - What?
- Some joke with the cheese and sausage. - I got it from the garbage bin.
There's something wrong with you, Pop. Really.
And also very dirty.
- Does it taste good? - You bet.
- But can we afford it? - Yes, now we can.
I have a new client.
- Hey? You just said nobody had called. - He emailed me.
- Really? - Yes.
- No joke? - No. A stolen parrot, a rare one.
- I have to go and get the details. - It's about time.
- What did you say? - How soon can we leave?
- What do you mean, WE? - Who else will help with the car?
Sam, you wanted to come. Push!
- Why doesn't he get a new one? - He loves this one.
Give it gas, Pop.
I'd better park round the corner.
Luckily the car doesn't stand out.
- I won't be long. - Can't we come with you?
No, because it's confidential.
- A parrot? What's so confidential? - Later, huh?
He hasn't shaved and his shirt's hanging out of his pants.
Pop? Your shirt. Your shirt!
- He forgot his briefcase. - And he really needs it.
Pop? Your case.
- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.
- Max Van de Linden, detective. - You're expected.
- I notice, you brought your kids? - Yes.
Hello, I am Fred. The baron will be right here.
Oh, there he is.
- Henegouwen Van Lierop. - Van de Linden.
Your children?
Yes, sorry. I hope that it's okay.
Cool car. Do you collect them?
Just a hobby. I race them out back.
- Do you have your own race circuit? - A little one. - Cool.
Always liked cars, huh? Not like his father.
- I wonder what sort of car you drive. - An old - timer. Yes.
- Really old and antique. - Yeah.
- Yes. - Well, that's, uh... great. Shall we?
Did you know he was a baron?
- Pop? - He didn't say so in his email.
Freddy, take these rascals upstairs?
Rascals?
Wow!
I didn't know you could get all these things
What the heck?
- Sam? Sam! - What? - There.
- Is that your... - Robot? Yes. Just a hobby of mine.
- Are you here for my father? - Yes, we came with his father.
- My dad's a detective. - Then he's here for Tiki.
- The parrot. - That was stolen? Was he rare?
A bald potbellied blue start. There are only 2 in the world.
Then it's really valuable.
I grew up with Tiki. My dad, too.
Look. Here he is sitting on my shoulder.
Hey? Is that a parrot?
- Sorry, but he's ugly. - He's sort of cute.
- That belly! - When you scratch it, He makes a funny sound. - Cool.
I have a parakeet. Not that he sits on my shoulder. I'm training him.
I have parakeets, too.
Come on.
- If your father's a baron, what are you? - Super cool.
Right now, I'm just a commoner. But when he dies, then I'll get his title.
Right now I'm just a commoner.
- So, pretty birds. - They have a nest.
- Where? - Up there.
Where?
You don't have to... Oh, they have three eggs. How cute.
Rare parrots are a protected species?
- How come? - If he's so rare, then how come you have him? - Sam!
We've had Tiki for 35 years. We got him from my dad's uncle.
At the time, that sort of thing was done.
He is registered. He's just as legal as you or I.
Yes, and that's why he's been stolen. Was this his perch?
Yes. I heard a noise. And when I came to look, he was gone.
I saw someone running away in the dark. Or, rather, he was walking funnily.
- What do you mean, funnily? - A little awkwardly.
- He was wearing unlaced army boots. - What did he look like?
When his cap came off, I saw his hair. It came down to here.
I couldn't see what color it was. It was too dark outside.
- Do you know what he was wearing? - No.
But I have something.
- I kept it for your dad. Size 44. - Cool.
Do you think your dad can find Tiki?
Do you still have the cap?
Size 57. That's not very big for a man.
Bummel Sport.
With shoulder-length dirty blond hair. Maybe it's a woman.
- In size 44? I don't think so. - Why not?
Do you know anyone who wears size 44?
- Bummel Sport has two outlets. In Aalsmeer and lJmuiden. - Great.
Then tomorrow I'll go first to Aalsmeer. That's the nearest. Catch.
- You'd better start in IJmuiden. - How come?
Just take a whiff.
Sea air. And IJmuiden is on the coast.
You have your father's gene's, son.
Your mother's agile.
You had a kid. You can still do it.
Boy, boy.
I had nothing against your mother.
- I couldn't concentrate. - You knew it. - Just look, Jut and Jul.
Your mother is beautiful?
- You can't beat me. - I sure can. - Yes?
Pop?
Pop? Here's some good, strong coffee.
We have to leave for lJmuiden.
Oh, son.
How late is it?
- Don't you have school? - It's a school break.
- I'm not playing truant! - Shower and shave.
Ah! What is this?
It's rich in oil and gives it a wonderful smell.
- Do you think I smell? - Not if I hold my nose.
Oh, you'd better look out!
- You and your father are very much alike. - Come on, now.
If he took better care of himself, he'd be great.
Let's go.
It's one of our brands. We put the badge on, ourselves.
Do you know what it is?
I'm looking for a man of about 35.
Shoulder-length dirty-blond hair. He walks a bit funnily.
He also recently had a beer-belly start blue bird, whatever it's called.
Er, a bald potbellied bluestart parrot.
It's a rare bird.
A man with a weird walk and long hair? A bald parrot?
No, I haven't seen him come by here. Sorry.
Well, there goes that lead.
Here's my card. In case something occurs to you.
I don't want to be inquisitive...
but why are you looking for the man with the cap?
I, uh...had a big argument with my brother over a girl.
I haven't seen him for 17 years.
And then he suddenly showed up in my town.
I wanted to make up with him, but he ran away.
And that's when he lost his cap.
He's my only brother.
It was also my fault about his spine...Sorry.
- He should have been an actor. - The acting college wouldn't take him.
You mean, you had a fight over a girl...
and then he injured himself?
Hernia.
- I never got over it. - But you couldn't...
But you didn't do it on purpose?
Hey, wait a minute.
It's the fish of the Loosje.
I sold a couple of caps a few months ago.
- I can remember it looking like a fish. - A jumping fish. - Yes.
- Thanks a lot, huh? - Yes.
Bald parrot. Hey, kids you didn't take anything, did you?
Fifty caps. What would they do with all those?
Give them to their clients and people who work on the docks.
What would dock workers or fishermen want with a parrot?
All sorts of things go on in a harbor.
- Do you think they want to sell Tiki? - I don't know, Sam.
Oh. No.
- Forget it. It's not going to work. - Come on.
Really?
Fantastic.
Hey, listen. Would you recognize the thief if you saw him again?
Okay, we're at pier two. It'd be great if you could come.
Okay then. Until then.
Sam?
- Ortwin is coming to the docks. - How did you know his number?
He promised me a parakeet.
- Great. You'll be a great couple. - You can be the best man.
Where's your dad?
What is it?
Pop's bag.
- Pop. Papa? - Here.
Come on.
Can't you go any faster?
- What happened to him? - I saw Pop by the boat.
- I think he saw something. - What exactly?
Damn!
Sam?
It's leaking like a sieve.
Do you have something to bale with?
- I can still see it. - Darn! Completely dead.
- And yours? - I forgot it.
Super. We can't even call for help.
- Don't do that! The precious equipment will get wet. - I'm also precious.
Don't make such a big deal about saving the bag.
I'll hold it above my head. I'd rather drown than lose it.
Pop saved up years for this stuff. Go and lie down.
Don't be so silly. We're on the open sea. Which direction?
- He always has a compass in his bag. - Well, get it then!
- Dry things will be useful, huh? - Get the compass.
It's somewhere at the bottom.
Sam, a boat. I can see a boat.
- Hey! - Wave him down. - Here! Hey!
- Hey! - Here!
- Oh, Sam, he can't see us. Hey! - Hey!
What are you doing here? You were supposed to wait at the harbor?
They abducted my father. In a boat. They went that way.
Hey baron, do you have any dry clothes?
- What about you? - I'm not cold.
- Nice boat. - It was a birthday gift from my dad.
Over there.
A fort island.
- It was used as a defence in the war. - Make sure no one sees us.
One of the abductors is on the forklift.
And your father?
In the fort?
Hands.
Crazy.
Throw it back.
You have an eye for details, cop?
Van Nistelrooy's original signature.
Hm.
Come on, we need to find a way in.
- Hey. Look. - Wait a moment.
- How come? Just because I'm a girl? - No.
- Ouch! - Because I have a flashlight.
Are you going?
- Reinforced concrete. Just like in our cellar. - And yours?
That's where my DJ gear is. 500 watts of sound with big subwoofers.
- What kind of music? - Justin Timberlake, Marco Borsato, Anouk.
I've got all of Anouk's.
In a year I'll be organizing parties and then I'll be booking them.
We could knock it down.
Just find the right size.
- Pap's magic keyring. - You could have told me.
You were so busy bragging, baron DJ.
What does he know?
He's looking for our parrot. He doesn't care about the rest.
He doesn't want anything. Just make sure he talks.
Or do you want me to help?
Why are you just standing there? Bring the bottles to the reception room!
Hurry up.
Hey, Jories, are you sure nothing's broken?
I don't think so.
Hey, guys?
I didn't ask you what you thought. I asked: are you sure?
Maybe you should take a look.
Just put it down.
Careful!
Idiots.
Well, look. These glasses are still okay.
So the rest should be, too.
I hope so. I don't want to look like a fool in front of my guests tomorrow.
And the snacks?
They'll be here tomorrow.
Well, okay.
Hurry up.
And what are you going to do?
I'm going to check that everything's okay.
What was that?
Zus!
I have to do everything myself.
Which way?
Animal droppings.
You can see from the amount that it's not from a guinea pig.
That's him.
The same shoes. The same hair.
He stole Tiki
- Reptiles. - Spiders.
Snakes.
What are they doing here?
They have my dad and your bird. They're going to have a party.
I have no idea what's going on.
Danger of collapsing structure.
Your dad and Tiki are behind here.
A skeleton key won't work. We need an electronic key.
Just on the off-chance but would Max have a cell phone?
Mine won't work. Do you have yours?
It's not here. It's somewhere over there.
Dad's voicemail.
Cockroaches.
Oh!
Huh!
There.
I lost your phone. He has it.
Not important. I have a back-up.
I don't think he's following. He could be calling Australia.
- Back to square one. - Maybe we need to bread down the door. - Maybe not.
If they leave, we could make a call.
We could even send an email.
Great. The caterers are booked.
- And we're all set up with the music. Good, huh? - Very good.
- 75 guests have confirmed that they'll come. - I know.
- Oh! - We're a great team.
I think I'll go and congratulate the guys.
I have to lock everything up.
- The guys are waiting for us on the boat. - That's too bad.
You can play later on tonight. My jacket?
Your jacket.
The door?
The door.
Gosh.
- Hm? Hi, dear. Hi, sweetie. - Benno, have you fed all the animals?
All of them?
Have you cleaned out the cages?
Good boy. That's really good. Good boy.
Hey? Here.
Here you go.
Tada! Zus. Hello? Look.
Here's a cookie... something tasty...
Benno!
Here.
Benno, that wasn't nice.
There's going to be a gale tonight. I don't want my Benno to catch cold.
Here.
Is that okay? Good boy, huh?
Hey, Benno? Hey, watch.
Here you go.
Where did it go?
Where is it, Benno?
Stay alert. Okay!
Guard the fort well, huh? My dear brother.
Brother? She's feeding him dog biscuits.
What does he need the cell phone for when he can't talk?
Alone here with that creep.
I'm going to look for dad.
It's the right key.
But I can't open it.
He's locked the door on the inside.
He's also locked the hall door. We can't get in.
360 PK.
We'll be at the coast guard in no time flat.
I'm looking forward to eating spaghetti. I hope we never see you again, goofball.
The guy's a lunatic.
Mmm. Mom's spaghetti Bolognese with grated parmesan.
A thick hamburger with melted cheese and ketchup.
- A burger? Do you eat expensive steaks every day? - Yes.
With delicious thin-cut fries.
And vanilla ice cream with a caramel sauce for dessert.
Oh, that delicious warm topping.
My dad's a prisoner, and all you do is talk about food.
Sorry, I'm hungry. I can't help it.
Can we cut the bullshit?
Sam? Don't be so childish.
Is everything still quiet?
- Pass me the night goggles? - Nice try, baron.
There. Behind the hill.
Where are we, one-eye?
Ha, close enough to kill you, dummy.
I'll be able to see he if he's coming.
What's he doing with skulls? What sort of guests are coming?
- He keeps cockroaches for pets. - Everything quiet?
- Yeah? - Can you see him?
- No. - How can that be? I thought you were watching out?
I'm not stupid.
Run!
Help!
Come on!
Sam!
Are you okay? Thanks.
There he goes.
Now, what's he doing?
He's looking at the lightning.
- He's eating chips. - What flavor?
Does it really matter?
Come on, guys.
He just came out of here.
- There must be an underground passage. - Want to bet it leads to the fort?
Guys?
It's Long Hair's den.
Hey!
So, now we can relax a bit.
Hey?
I'd better take the first watch.
Don't worry. We can go and free your dad, tomorrow, okay?
Goodnight.
So. A little musty but better than nothing.
The creep should be asleep, too.
- Aren't you cold? - No.
Are you sure?
- Do you think I can't stand the cold because I'm a girl? - Not at all.
- What's wrong? - Nothing.
- How long have you known Sterre? - We grew up together.
- Have you always been friends? - Yes. - Okay.
- Really close friends? - Why do you want to know that?
- She's not interested in your sort. - How come?
- She doesn't want a shithead. - I'm not a shithead.
Where were you when she was almost caught? Well?
Shut up.
- You're jealous because she likes me instead of you. - In your dreams.
Wake me up at two and I'll take over guard.
Fine watchman. He skipped out on us.
- I should have kept guard. - He doesn't think girls can do it.
You think so? You don't mean that.
He's old fashioned. All rich kids are like that.
Now I'm just a regular guy, Ortwin! Woo-hoo
- Good morning. - So, where were you, dummy?
- I was doing what regular people do. - What's that? Well?
Do you always wander off when you're on watch?
- I went for a piss. - A shit, you mean. Chicken shit. - Take that back.
You really think you're something because your dad's rich...
but you're really just a cowardly shit baron.
Sam! Ortwin!
Hey, stop it!
An electronic key?
How did you get it?
Idiot.
You're not going to tell me you went to Long Hair's den...
What sort of idiot are you.
I didn't think you had it in you.
I didn't, either.
Thanks.
Come on. We've got to get moving.
Pop?
Pop!
Pop?
Son!
Hey, Princess.
- Hey. - This is Ortwin. Your client's son.
- It's a long story. - Did you find my parrot?
I er...I heard something screeching on the ship.
I saw a crate and thought it might be there.
But suddenly there was a gun at my neck and I was on the boat.
- So, did you see what it was? - It was a monkey. Sorry.
I think the parrot is somewhere on the island, though.
The monkey belongs to an endangered species.
- Is that why they're trying to sell it? - Exactly.
Come on.
- Is everything okay? - So, we can get started.
Well, good luck.
Benno?
Are you coming?
Benno?
Let me see your hands?
Wipe them off.
That's a good boy. Benno? What does Benno get?
Oh!
What does Benno get?
Tada! A tasty morsel. Oh!
For Sus.
What a shrew.
That was Tiki.
- Are you sure? - Of course I am.
The party's getting started. Come on.
- Did you get what we ordered? - Trust me.
Well, we're just eager to find out.
- I'm going to mingle. You drive to the police. - Drive?
Take one of the boats.
Pretend to be one of the guests who has got sick.
- There's a police station in the harbor. - Okay.
- They're going. I'm staying. - I'm staying for Tiki.
- No, it's too dangerous. I'll be less conspicuous on my own. - Dad?
- We're hungry. - Do what you're told.
All three of you have to go. Now. Go along.
Super. I'm dying of hunger and everyone's chowing down.
We can, too.
Chocolates.
Ah.
Thanks a lot.
- Did you get a form, sir? - No. No, thank you.
Hello.
- Shall I make a toast? - Go ahead, I'm allergic to fish.
Mmm. Hmmm!
Are you looking for something in particular?
Er, no. I'm just looking.
- Excuse me, you have mousse on... Mousse on your... - Oh, thanks.
It just covers up my ugly looking lip.
This is really delicious. Here.
- I can't leave dad alone here. - Nor can I.
Why not?
How can you explain it to a client?
- His father's a detective, but... - It doesn't always work out for him.
- That's why I help out. - Me, too. That's why I'm here.
Then, I'm staying, too.
- Someone has to go for help. - We know how Max is.
- Is there any more? - No, it's all gone. It's my favorite. - Yes?
- With hazelnuts? - Oh, yes. - So, are you leaving, then?
Yes. Fine.
Tiki is my parrot. We find him, get to a phone and call the police.
Any objections?
Look. That would look great in our 'library'. Eh, dear?
I'll jot it down. Number 19.
Well, better not do that.
Okay.
This is all illegal.
- Can I help you? - I doubt it.
- What did you have in mind? - Well, I prefer...
I prefer... What's this thing called?
Don't say anything.
I prefer...um... Do you have any other animals?
- No, no others. Sorry. - That's a pity.
- Jories? - Yes? - I have to leave. - Yes.
Oh, hello. Hi.
I also have a magnificent pair of boots.
This is beautiful snake skin.
And this is also made from snake.
Oh.
Ah, here is our host. I haven't been here yet.
Oh, what a pretty bear.
- Is it yours? - Yes. - Ah.
- What do you say, darling? - Please?
Thanks. You're welcome.
- What's her name? - Elizabeth Darling.
What a dear. Hm?
This is also pretty.
Charlie? Show this man our most precious animals?
Thank you.
- Here it is. The rarest bird in the world. - Tiki!
- Isn't it rather scruffy? - Scruffy? - Yes.
Oh, we're not through with him.
Deal?
Er...well. Yes, deal. But spruce him up and disinfect him.
Of course. You'll get him in a perfectly health condition.
Benno?
Take number 23 for me?
Disinfect?
What did she mean by that?
Just put it down on the table. We'll give him a shot.
Come on, Tiki.
- Hey, what are you up to? - I thought I'd turn the lights on.
Ow! Ooh.
- Didn't you like our accommodations? - No.
Where is my parrot?
It's not your parrot.
You're mistaken.
Who are the kids?
I don't know them.
That's a pity. That's really a shame.
Benno?
So you dirty, rotten...
Ah!
- Hey, get the snake. It's about to bite! - Why me? You do it.
Get Hadewij.
Shit, man.
- The boat's gone. - It doesn't matter. I can drive the big one.
Hey, wait up.
I just hope that dad's okay. Dad's locked up in his cell.
Give me my parrot.
Eh!
Don't give it to her.
Hand it over.
Drop it or I'll shoot him.
Hand it over.
Very wise, young man.
Benno? Tie up the kids, right now.
I want them to drown when we throw them overboard.
Something tasty for Benno.
Take it. Good boy.
Benno, I said: tie the kids up.
That is chocolate. It tastes better than dog biscuits.
Benno, stay away from her.
Benno!
Benno, stay away.
Benno?
Benno, think what you're doing!
Benno!
Look, it's all for you.
Benno! I told you not to... Ungrateful dog!
Ow! Ow!
- I hope you can't swim. - Hey?
Guys? You don't have to do this.
No. Come on. Wait.
Guys, really... Stop it, huh?
Benno?
I'm getting really nervous.
Ah! Ah, ah!!
Benno! Benno, come here.
My hair. Oh, my hair.
Yes. Can you connect me with the coast guard?
Her party's finished.
Killing protected species so that she could live well. Sick!
Can I have this one?
What's going to happen to Benno?
I hope they'll find a home for him or a zoo.
Where he gets to eat well.
Yes. It would be horrible, if not.
Whoa, whoa!
That's my phone.
Gee!
Max speaking.
Hello, hi. Hi Femke.
No, I was very busy with my work.
Of course, Sam ate well. I still have money.
He really has a lot of apologizing to do.
I didn't mean to make you worry?
- Since the separation, he's lost all his self-confidence. - Of course.
Never again will they say: Max, what sort of father are you to our son?
Femke, hey...I'm not going to... She hung up. Great.
How am I going to explain it to your mother?
She tried to call us.
And your mother wants to know where you were.
You should have gone and got help?
You're absolutely right. We're very sorry we stayed.
If it weren't for you...
Yes, I'm really proud of my brave dad.
All the beatings you went through.
Didn't you catch the woman?
Yes, but we'd never have found Tiki but for you.
My father will pay a handsome reward.
Thank you very much.
That's what I do? It's my pleasure.
- Mr van de Linden? Can I have a word? - Yes, of course. What, er...
- Do you think he's more self- confident, now? - You bet.
Oh. How sweet.
- Can I take it to the boat? - Yes.
Hey? Let's both tell her how much we like her.
- Then she can choose. - That makes no sense.
- Why not? - It just doesn't.
Sterre, wait.
I want to ask you something.
Ortwin wants to tell you something.
If you had to choose...
How did you know that Benno would go for the chocolate?
He was treated like a dog, so he thought he was one.
If you had to choose between a punishment or chocolate...
I have to take him to the boat.
But this is just a Shetland pony. No, it's pied. It's rare.
- Perfect. - Absolutely perfect.
- Not nearly as perfect as.. - Boys.
Now, why's she laughing? She has no idea.
She understands animals but knows nothing about boys.
- Crazy girl. There are enough normal girls around. - Lots. So what?
Sterre, wait.
 You will never be alone, I'll be there for you
 You will never be alone we'll search for answers together
 You will never be alone I'll go through fire for you
 You will never be alone I'll venture out with you
 Don't worry. You will never be alone...This is Jordan and Nafe
 But you're stranded on an island you are afraid but are more daring
 The adults who mess things up, and the 3 kids who put them right
 They solve things, but the question is how
 So, you will never be alone you know what I mean
 But I know you see me as you sit in the cinema, hearing me tell how it is
 Look: this is the movie 'My dad's a detective'
 I'll be there for you so you will never be alone
 Together in search for answers
 You will never be alone I'll go through fire for you
 You will never be alone I'll venture out with you
 Two boys and a girl out on an island on a mission
 Adults try the same thing but are apt to fail
 Young boys can achieve it
 Have no fear, you will never be alone, I'll be beside you
 I believe in my heart that we can experience these things together
 Life isn't always the way it should be, sometimes it can be painful
 Just know the secret between you and me
 You will never be alone I'll be there for you
 You will never be alone together we'll seek the answers
 You will never be alone I'll go through fire for you
 You will never be alone
 I'll venture forth with you
