Well, partner.

Technically speaking you now own 50% of
my shares in Rombauts Pharma.

- That's my son Art. He's in India.
- With his mum watching him in real time.

We need to get you off the grid.

You need to connect to the real world,
not to this virtual electronic matrix.

A very small percentage of patients
using Aspergon starts to have delusions,

aggression, suicide.

My son takes Aspergon. So if this is
true, then he needs to stop immediately.

Never stop immediately. It's very
dangerous.

What are these pills? Do you really need
them?

Are you still taking those pills?

No Mum, I stopped taking them and I feel
much better now.

No, no.

You want something?

I don't need this anymore. Here.

Sorry, you cannot have this.

- What is wrong with this family?
- Art takes Aspergon.

Aspergon is safe.

The Brain

No traces of violence were found.
It seems your husband died from drowning.

Oh, God. What have you done?

What happened to his fingers?

He probably tried to climb
out of the water until the very end.

Excuse me.

What's this?
- The cerebrum and cerebellum...

have been removed for research.
- Removed his brain? Is that even allowed?

Well, from Mr Rombauts' living will...

No, absolutely not.

I'm terribly sorry, but the preparations
have already been sent to the lab.

No one ever mentioned
anything about preparations before.

Have they lost their minds?

He was a test person in a trial
for his own company.

Mum... These were dad's wishes.

You knew about this, Julien?

You knew about this?

Who do you think knew him best?

Dear passengers,

as we begin our descent,

please make sure your tray tables are in
upright position.

Ensure your seatbelts are fastened

and all carry-on luggage is stowed
underneath the seat in front of you or

in the overhead compartments.

Sir, your seatbelt? Sir, can you please
fasten your seatbelt?

Indonesia

Death Penalty for Drug Traffickers

Death penalty for those who carry drug
to Bali

- Drop it. Drop it.
- I'm sorry.

On your back. Get on your back.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Who do you so urgently need to talk to?

I'm worried about Art.

I haven't been able to reach him for days.

He'll be devastated to hear
what happened to his grandfather.

I'm worried about his medication.
- Belle, not now. This isn't the time.

Mum, we have to get going.
We have an emergency meeting at twelve.

Why wasn't I told about that?
- I'm telling you now.

That goes for you too, Quint.
It's for all shareholders involved.

Juul, I'm... I'm not coming.

You have to.
We have to discuss the transfer.

I'm not coming.
Nor am I attending the cremation.

Of course you are.

I'm sorry, Mum.

I'm an addict.
If I keep going on like this I will die too.

I'm addicted to coke.
It has to stop. I can't go on, Mum.

Honey, this isn't the time.
- I've said my goodbyes to dad.

Get a hold of yourself.
- I'm trying, Julien.

But I can't go on any longer.
I'm putting myself first.

Quint...

Take care of yourself.

France - Poligné

I found him here.

I immediately knew
something was terribly wrong.

He was cold all over.

I still talk to him every day.
Every day.

Felix?

What are you doing?
- Hello, I'm Hamza Toumi.

I'm here to talk about your son.
- We have nothing to say. You should go.

You stay quiet.
- We have nothing to hide.

You know you can't say anything.
- Were you asked to sign a document?

Could I see the contract?

I just want to help.
- You can help us by leaving. Please.

Get out. Let's go, Felix.
I don't want a court case.

I'm sorry. Best to leave it.

It'll take too long.
We won't even live to see it.

...leave a message and I'll probably
never call you back.

Art, please ring me back.

Am I late?

Where's everybody going?

Mum. What are you doing here?

Isabelle, Isabelle...

What's this?

You've been following me.

Who took these?
- What were you doing there?

Visiting the lab in Romania.
- You maybe, but not him.

I'll be the judge of that.

We just had a board meeting.

A board meeting. Without me?
- Seemed most prudent.

Based on this information the board
deems you no longer fit to stay on as CEO.

Do you even know what I was doing?
- Shagging the lawyer who's out to get us.

I was trying to figure out
why this company sells lethal drugs.

What are you on about?
- Aspergon is dodgy stuff.

What makes you say that?
- Art takes that rubbish.

If there's even the slightest chance
of fatal side effects I just have to know.

That is my responsibility,
as a CEO and as a mother.

Not anymore.

What?

Your mother is saying
you've been relieved of your post.

The board was unanimous.

Please hand in your work phone,
security badge and laptop, and leave.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Bob, where are you?

Ms Rombauts?

Art? Art... For fuck's sake.

Please open the door.

You've reached Hamza Toumi.
Please leave a...

We really need your laptop and phone.

I need backup here.
This isn't going to work.

Ms Rombauts.
- Bob, she can leave from the inside.

Hello?
- Ezra, I need your help.

Isabelle?
What do you mean, what's going on?

Isabelle?
- Art is taking Aspergon.

But I can't get a hold of him in India.
- Hold on. Where are you?

At the office. They want to take
my phone, but they can't. They can't.

Isabelle.

Don't do anything stupid.
- What's going on over there?

I have to leave, Ezra.

Come back inside, Belle.
- I have to get in touch with Art.

Belle...
- Isabelle. Please come back inside.

Isabelle?

No...

No, no...
- Come here.

This is the voicemail of Isabelle
Rombauts.

Please leave your message after the
beep.

Mum?

Mum? Mum...

It's Art, and I...

I got arrested in Bali, Mum.

You have to help me.

I'm not feeling well and I... I...
You...

I don't know if I'm going to make it.
Okay.

- Can we try again? Because she...
- Hey, Dutchman. Just one phone call.

Isabelle.

What is this?
- Don't worry.

This isn't right.
- Everything will be alright. Take it easy.

Hello, Isabelle. How are you?

Where's Art?
Where's my phone?

Easy. It's all right.

How are you feeling?

We had to help you calm down.

I am calm.
- We had to protect you from yourself.

You wanted to jump. Remember?
- Jump?

You were completely out of it.

No... I want to leave.
- We're keeping you here for a bit.

No, I have to get out of here.

You were a danger to yourself.
And given your history...

we want to keep you here for observation.
- I'm not confused. I have to talk to Art.

Any news from Quinten?

This one or that one?

That one.
- Sure?

I think this would be more Ludo's style.

Are you still planning
on taking the company public?

You don't think your father
would have told me?

It was the last thing we talked about.

You have to take over the reins now, son.

You have to continue his work.

Would you?

For him?
- Only if I can do things my way.

I understand.

As long as you don't sell it.

He would have been devastated
to learn it was all for nothing.

Grab a seat.

You have a lot to absorb right now.

I get it.
- What?

I know you have to take responsibility
and can't leave the company.

I'm sorry.
Everything is different now.

She was so worried about Art.
I can't get a hold of him either.

The strange thing is,
he keeps posting these videos. Look.

Odd, isn't it?

She keeps talking about Art's medication.

Yes, I know she's confused,
but what if she's right?

Art may not respond well to his pills.
It happens.

Stop it.
Chances of that are so remote.

Slim to none.

Ah, Bob. You made it.
Come on, let's go.

Does she need supervision?
- I don't want her to do anything stupid.

Let's go.

Construction work of the plant
and the nursery has all come to a halt.

We have to take a step back.
Construction is put on hold for now.

No way. The production process
needs further fine-tuning.

The trial is almost finished. We were
in the middle of patent application.

Not to scrutinise my father's policy...

but this project already cost us loads.
To apply for patents now...

isn't a wise thing to do financially.

This project is essential
to the company's future. Your father...

What's essential to this company
is to make sure money is also coming in.

This project is only costing us money.

No, I won't hear any more about it.
Not until after the funeral.

I was wondering
if I could see Isabelle Rombauts.

Do you have an appointment?
- No.

I'm afraid I can't help you
if you don't have an appointment.

Just tell her Ezra came by.

Ezra van der Geest.

I heard you were taken here.

Lola...

What about Lola?

Isabelle, what about Lola?

Art... Lola...

Is everything all right?

Everything's fine.

Ms Rombauts.

My condolences.

Is my husband's brain here?

It is.
- I would like to see it, please.

Here it is.

For fifty years,
this brain has amazed me...

surprised me...

and loved me.

My husband will not be buried without it.

Would you zip me up?

Right, Isabelle.
You have a difficult day ahead of you.

Just try and take it as it comes.

I'm giving her just enough
for her to be aware of the funeral...

without it affecting her too much.

Take good care of her.
This could be an unsettling day for her.

Dear Ludo, my sweet husband.

How I will miss you.

How cruel to have you,
you of all people...

taken from us in a fatal accident.

You had so many years ahead of you.

So many plans and dreams.

Isabelle?

There are no words.
I will miss you.

Family man.

You loved your children so dearly.
Julien, Quinten.

You were like a father to me.

Hard to believe, isn't it?
The fact he's no longer with us.

Ming.

She's such a sweetheart.
And a big support to Julien.

You can be sure he's struggling.

Shouldn't you have something to eat?
How about a sandwich?

Yes? I'll get it for you.
I'll be right back.

Isabelle.

Why don't we go back?

Belgium
Ardennes

Over the past year, he and Kim
were devoted to the Elixir project.

Also because he firmly believed
our drug Arcticanximab...

could be a real game changer.
- It is a real game changer.

Could be.
- It truly is a game changer.

But I also believe we should take a bit
of the pressure off and stay realistic.

What do you mean, realistic?

My father's plans weren't always
financially responsible and feasible.

He was always rushing things.
- Unbelievable. This is unbelievable.

We already have a plant
under construction and a shell nursery.

I believe we should focus our efforts
on finishing the research stage...

and optimise the production process.
- It already is.

But is it the one we want, Kim?
Grinding thousands of kilos of shells?

Insulin used to be animal-sourced too...

but today's genetically modified
yeast cells are more efficient.

We would if we could.
- Developing yeast cell technology...

would take us at least five years,
without any guarantees.

I'm not investing in an expensive plant
for a product that hasn't been tested yet...

and a production process
that might be outdated in three years.

That would be financially irresponsible.
I told my father from the very start.

That depends. If it works as promised...
- If, if...

Too many ifs and buts.
- That's exactly the difference.

What?
- Your father had balls.

The drug will be released no matter what.
All I'm saying is to take our time.

There isn't any time.

Aren't you worried she's right?
Your father didn't rush for nothing.

I decide how fast we're going.

Yes, of course.
We could definitely do that, why not?

Alright, let's do that.

Alright then.

Can I call you back?
Something important to take care of.

Talk to your later.

I will not be silenced anymore.
I want you to represent me.

Here are the files for the case
against Rombauts Pharma.

So I mindfully started meditating
and avoided going to the party.

I turned in early.

Well done.

Relapse always occurs
just when you think you're safe.

So thank you for sharing.

Thank you, Roger.

Does anyone else like to share?

I do.

My name is Jan and I'm an addict.

Hi, Jan.
- Welcome.

I suffered a major relapse
in recent weeks.

You're among peers, Jan.

That's right.

Someone died recently,
someone who is very important to me. Was.

He was a...

a father figure.

It upset me very much.

It caused me to relapse
and lose everything.

Including my phone. So I haven't been
able to reach my sponsor Quinten.

Quinten has always been
very important to me.

That's when things really
started unravelling.

Anyway, now I'm here again.

I really hope my buddy and I
are reconnected again. I really do.

Thank you, Jan.

Bye.

Jan?

When was this?
- What?

Your relapse.
I know Quinten pretty well, you see...

and I can't remember him
ever mentioning you.

I haven't been here in over a year,
so that seems about right.

I've been so incredibly lost.

And Quinten was the only one
who was able to help me.

I think he's in the Ardennes.
I heard him say something about that.

He's not doing well.
His father died suddenly.

It affected him tremendously.
- Oh dear.

I don't think he wants to be found.

Guess I'll have to look
for another sponsor.

Thank you.

Bye.

Good afternoon.

Leave the door open.

Excuse me?
- The door stays open.

Your presence is requested.
Will you follow me, please.

Riekje Rombauts.

Yes, of course I remember you.
Ambassador in Jakarta.

To what do I owe this pleasure?

That's right, Archibald is my grandson.
Is something the matter?

Yeah, come on, Ming.

Good one.

- Sorry, Ming.
- Julien, it's your mum.

Excuse me, Ming.

- I'll finish the job. Watch it.
- Hi, Mum.

What?

When you were in hospital...

it seemed you wanted
to tell me something about Lola.

She took that nasal spray, didn't she?

She took part in some research project...

on adolescents with behavioural problems.

Her therapist recommended it.
The nasal spray seemed effective.

She was part of a trial...

for an antidepressant called Aspergon.

Of Rombauts Pharma.

But it's rubbish.
- What's wrong with it?

Side effects.

Severe side effects.

Art is also taking it.

In the form of pills.
But it's the same thing.

How severe exactly?

I was just looking into it when...

I have to speak to Art.
- Is that what killed Lola?

Your grandson, is it?

Drug smuggling.

He had medicines on him. For personal
use.

Amphetamines, a lot of pills.

No doctor's prescription.

In my country this isn't taken lightly.

I propose that we look for a solution
for this situation.

A solution?

You do know that

last month an Australian student
was sentenced to death for the same crime.

Last winter we opened a factory in
China.

Virus inhibitors.

An emerging market as you know.

1200 employees.

An expected turnover of 140 million
euros.

Of course such a factory can be
established everywhere.

afraid? am I afraid?
I am afraid

death death death

Coffee.

I'm sorry. It was just...
- Here you go.

I saw it lying there and I just...
I'm sorry.

Have you read it?
- I was afraid to.

I'm afraid to find out I should've known
something or done things differently.

I understand.

Would you mind if I read it?

Perhaps it contains information that...

I'm sorry.
That's way too soon.

No, I'd like that, to be honest.

I can't.
Besides, I have to start my shift.

You've reached Hamza Toumi.
Leave a message...

and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Belgium
Ardennes

Are you all right, Quinten?

Boy...
Quiet place you've got here.

I take it you heard
I wanted to cut all contact.

I did. It wasn't easy to track you down.

But...

I won't stay long.

Your mother asked me
to take care of everything...

in order for you to go your own way again.
- I have everything I need right here.

I can see that.

But you still own 10%
of the family company's shares.

Dries, mate... Did I ever ask for that?
- I drew up a document...

allowing you to cut all ties
with the company.

And the family.

The money is put into a fund
and will be invested climate-neutrally.

You're free to access it
should you ever want to in the future.

Of course you don't have to use it.

But it could be of use to you later.
To help your fellow man, for example.

You could start
your own centre for spirituality...

for like-minded individuals.

It's so much worse than we thought.

- next time
- Jerry, what are you doing here?

It's not personal, Julien.

Do something about it.

Milk and sugar?

I want to ask you something, Marie.
I need your help.
