Bed and breakfast and boat rental
festive opening
Ladies and gentlemen. I am extremely pleased...
that you have come in such large... large numbers...
to be present here today, for this...
It will be... Oh, this is a really good one.
we'll see? we'll take turns changing the sheets.
You always make the beds. - At home, yes.
You had to open a bed and breakfast. And that's fine with me.
But we'll both change the linen and clean the rooms.
That's women's work.
It's just work, Tjerk. - women's work.
It's simply called work.
Okay, you're right.
So no excuses, about work on the farm. we'll do this together.
I said you were right, okay?
Now that I'm coming to the end of my speech...
How many pages to go?
...I just want to say that I'm sure...
my daughter's and son-in-law's bed and breakfast will be a big success.
I wasn't finished yet, but okay.
I've also set up a place where you can rent boats.
Bauke, it's just one boat.
Yes. But it will start with a sailing holiday for Mirjam, Tom and Sniff.
That's great.
So I'm going to baptize that seaworthy, beautiful boat.
Does it have a name yet?
A name? - Yes, a name.
well, personally, I'm thinking about something like Freedom.
No. Something like a bird's name, that sort of thing.
what bird? - Here, some lovely ice cream.
That's it.
The Ice Bird. - It's cold.
Cold? It's really cool, dude.
Now let's proceed to the opening of Bed and Breakfast.
well done, Sniff.
That's my dog.
Dad, we have to talk. Now.
SNIFF THE DOG AND THE ICE BIRD
No Dad, you can't let those kids go off on a boat by themselves.
I was thinking... - You weren't.
He did promise them. - without asking us.
Yes, you're right, Jeltje.
I shouldn't have done this. I'll tell them it's all off.
Oh, there you are. It's like this... - This is unbelievable.
As if I do everything wrong. I just want to help.
were you eavesdropping? - No.
well, yes.
Then you know what I think.
I love you very much. I'm not saying you do things wrong.
But you just can't handle the responsibility yet.
And what if I'm responsible?
what if I make sure Tom won't do anything silly?
As if Tom listens to you. - I do.
I'll do anything Mirjam says.
No, I do believe him.
Mother.
Please.
I won't do anything crazy. I won't.
Did you divide the tasks? - Yes. Tom cooks the first few days.
what? You cook? - As if that's so hard.
You arranged that well.
will you go to Sneek? - No, there's no fair.
we won't go to every fair.
I want to complete my Sherlock collection.
Don't buy too much, you'll sink. - This boat is the best buy ever.
Yes Dad, we know. where will you go first?
Sloten. - Then we'll go shopping in Sneek.
Cast off, Tjerk. Sniff is raring to go.
Can we? - Yes.
Have fun, okay?
Have a great trip. - Bye, sweetheart.
Bye. See you in a week.
will you look at this?
what is it, Dad? - He's driving so slowly.
In his bourgeois suit.
I'll be darned. - Take it easy, Dad.
Take it easy. - I'll get you, boy.
Are you nuts, or something?
Come with me, you. Come with me, I said.
Come on. Get down on your knees.
Now you're going to lick up your own crap.
You dirty little bourgeois. Lick it up, I said.
Can we spend the night here? - Just in time. There's a fair tomorrow.
It'll be pretty busy. You can put your valuables in the safe in my office.
If you leave, lock up well.
we don't have that much to steal. - That's what they all say.
Have fun, okay? - Thanks.
Come on, Sniff. - Aren't we forgetting something?
A shopping list, for dinner? - That can wait.
I'll do anything Mirjam says.
Gang of thieves visits fair
Sniff, wait up.
If we get fries, we can stay here. - No, you're cooking.
I know that. And it's no trouble, but...
we did get money to go to a snack bar.
You mapped out the route without me. You're cooking.
That was the deal. - Sure. I told you I didn't mind.
But where's Sniff? - My purse. It's gone.
Did you have it just now? - Yes. In my bag.
I'm sure.
Sniff, where are you?
Hey, what are you doing here?
A purse. Does it belong to one of you?
Is this yours? - Oh. Yes.
Stupid of me. Thank you.
Put it somewhere safe. It seems there are pickpockets here.
You live here? - we came by boat.
On vacation? - well, have fun. Bye.
Come along, Jim.
Don't feel pity for those broads. They're just magpies.
They have money. They buy, and buy. Filthy consumers.
we hit them where it hurts. In their wallets.
without pity. we have to take care of ourselves, as they won't. Okay?
'Yes, Dad. ' Your brother understands, but you...
why haven't you dumped this yet? - Sorry. I don't know.
Suppose they find it on you. Get rid of that junk.
They have to suspect someone else. It gives you a head start.
That boat we had to steal? - Use it as long as you need to.
Come here, you.
I'm doing this for your own good. To make you strong, for later.
Right, kid?
Boil the macaroni for seven minutes.
If you want it firmer, more al dente...
Do you want me to help? - No, I'm doing fine.
Are you sure? - Yes, no problem.
Didn't we see them at the fair?
Beautiful boat.
Is it roomy inside? - More than you think.
I don't think he likes your dog. - He's used to that.
Can I take a look? - Sure.
I've always wanted a boat like this.
Coming, Jim? - No, I'm staying with Lumpy.
what a lot of room.
Oh, this is great.
And you have a camping stove as well.
That's convenient.
But...
Can you cook? - Yes, very well. Right, Mirjam?
well, thanks for letting me take a look.
You're welcome.
weird. - They seem like nice guys, don't they?
Your cap.
How does it look on me?
Adorable.
But isn't it a bit late to cook now?
It's going well.
Yes, it's going well.
Just fine.
It'll be delicious, it really will. Real restaurant food, I promise.
Good, isn't it?
Very nice, really.
Do you want some of mine?
No, I've got enough. - Are you sure?
This is plenty.
Okay, that's enough.
French fries, after all?
who's there?
Louts.
I threw that away. - I told you to throw it in the container.
You live in your own world. Like the route.
This way, we can't even go shopping in Sneek. You never think about me.
Once I get all my books, you can decide where we're going, okay?
How many Sherlock Holmes stories are there?
About sixty. - How far along are you?
Part two.
Come on, Sniff.
A boat?
It's those guys' boat.
They weren't adults? - No, they were boys.
One of them wore a cap.
And they've got a dog.
I'm afraid they're long gone by now.
The gold head brooch, was it valuable? - It's an old heirloom.
It's from the 18th century.
Oh, yes. They went away in a green sloop.
I'll go look over there. See you at the boat in an hour?
Is this the only Sherlock Holmes book? - Yes, it is.
Your boat is still next to mine. - Leave it there. Or else...
Did you see that?
That's odd.
Come on, let's follow them.
I'm fed up with you. - Stop it.
Get in, both of you.
It's no use. I didn't catch the license number.
That's strange.
I've seen her before.
He was pulled into a car, by that guy with the cap.
Really aggressive.
Look. The same size.
It's a girl. - Yes, and she's wearing a cap.
And a dog. when Jannie was robbed...
My purse. It's gone. - Did you have it just now?
Yes, I'm sure it was that boy. He ran away very fast.
This is fishy.
Is that him? - That's him.
I'll keep you posted.
You're dicing them up. what are you thinking of?
Those guys. with the boat.
It's just weird.
Can I come on board?
Did you call the police because I'm dicing the potatoes?
Can you call of that dog? - But it's Sniff.
Sniff, always show respect for the police.
So we're being funny, are we? - I didn't mean it like that.
Does that sloop belong to you?
Is there something the matter with it?
It was floating there, so I tied it up. - Just like that.
It belongs to these customers. - Your customers?
No, a couple of guys.
Get out of the boat. - why?
I won't ask again. - Ridiculous.
Young man, if you go on this way... - Just do it.
Boy, oh boy. - Take it easy.
why? Every time something's wrong, it's my fault.
And you know I haven't done anything. - Just wait.
So, how did you get these?
You're under arrest, for theft.
I told you, we haven't done anything.
well, it's true, isn't it?
where are we going? - The police station.
Alright, one more time.
what were you doing at the farm, and where's the brooch?
we were never there. - The harbor master saw you leave.
To get some fries. He can't cook. - That has nothing to do with it.
where were you at eleven thirty? - On the boat. I just told you.
The harbor master saw you... - I want to be a cop. why would I lie?
It must have been those guys.
Quite a coincidence. Two more boys, with a dog.
But I am a girl.
You were wearing a cap.
It belongs to one of the guys.
So you do know them?
Or do you accept caps from perfect strangers?
And the engine number?
That boat, that you claim you found, was stolen.
I didn't do it.
Those guys arrived with it. why don't you believe me?
Because I've had enough.
One lame excuse after the other. Van Tongeren...
Lock them up. I'm sick of those lies. - I'm not lying.
I help the police very often. - Take them away.
Kids today...
what do you mean, you help the police?
Ask Mr. Barninkhof. He's a detective. He's our friend.
And why haven't you found that car?
Get inside. - Do we have to stay here?
what kind of cops are you? we haven't done a thing.
That's what they all say. You're staying here.
And I'm warning you. If you act up, I'll take you to the cell block.
That's a lot less pleasant, believe me.
Call Mr. Barninkhof.
Please.
It's no use.
My boy.
Go. Go.
I've inquired about that Barninkhof.
He exists, but he doesn't work for the force anymore.
He doesn't? - we can all claim we know a policeman.
You can ask him, can't you? He knows us.
He's taking a trip around the world.
If you just told us the truth, it would save us a lot of fuss.
Van Tongeren, haven't you left yet?
I had to check something.
It's all pointless.
I might get a criminal record.
Then I'll never be able to join the police.
You know what?
we'll find those guys ourselves. It's our only chance.
Great, but what will Sherlock do? we're locked up, you know.
As if that's my fault. - I'm responsible.
I said nothing would happen.
And I'm responsible for finding the real culprits.
You're crazy. - It beats being locked up here.
Sniff, come back.
Sniff, find the key. Find the key.
I'm not sure this is a good plan.
If we escape, it'll make things worse. It's a criminal offense.
He can do it.
Chief, can you give me a hand?
Hey Boss, I need your signature. - Can't they do anything by themselves?
Hey, he's coming back.
He's got the keys.
I told you he could do it.
This won't work.
If we don't do it, we'll never get out of here.
we're the only ones who know what they look like.
Do you know which key she used?
It works.
It's open.
we're free. Come on.
I can go by myself.
why do I always have to stop you from doing stupid things?
Let's go that way. - That's not allowed.
Like so many things.
At least we can hide here.
Are you sure? - Yes, I'm positive.
what have we done, Sniff?
They left the food here. - Nice, we can eat before we're arrested.
Yes, we're free. - we're on the run.
Isn't your master stupid? - Don't mind her.
She's a little pessimistic. we'll have no trouble finding those guys.
Clever thinking. But girls can't do that.
This girl can't get over being talked into this. Now they're sure we've done it.
why else would we run? But your master doesn't get that.
Maybe Mirjam should just go back to the cell. Is that what you want?
He's forgotten I'm responsible, and that I promised.
But he only thinks of himself. - And what if we'd stayed?
we'd be convicted, have a record, and Tjerk would be furious.
You only believe in dreams. As if you're in a Sherlock Holmes book.
Out of my way.
what are you doing? - I'm going to sleep.
Hoping this will just have been a nasty dream.
She'll come around. - I can hear you.
what's the matter?
Hey, hand me the binoculars.
Hand me the binoculars.
Thank you so much.
what's the matter?
Smoke. Coming from the stable.
what? A fire?
Yes, I'll be right there.
I understand you had help.
Yes, when we got here the horse had already been taken out of the stable.
She's with the fire engine. An ambulance will check if they inhaled a lot of smoke.
They? - Yes, a boy and a girl.
They were here just now.
Did they have a dog? - Yes, a beautiful animal.
A German shepherd. Beautiful head. - Thanks.
what do you think. A new color? - Your hair?
No, the boat's name. Everyone knows it now.
You want to paint over the name plate?
You'll need paint, then.
Look over there.
Tie up the boat.
I've got a great plan.
You know what we're going to do?
Sniff and I will sneak over, and steal some paint.
You can't do that. - why not?
It's just paint. - we escaped, now you want to steal...
what do you want? we have nothing, not even money.
The police took everything.
Bauke told me they stole from the Germans, in the war.
Because they had to.
we're not at war now. - No. But we do need it.
So you just want it because you need it?
You know what? I'll ask them for it.
You? And you think they'll just give it to you?
Charms, Tom. Charms.
Girls can be so stupid, right Sniff?
Take this girl across.
And brushes.
Got anything more to say?
Only girls can pull that off.
we have to get to a quiet spot, fast. And to the next fair.
I'm sure they'll go there. They take advantage of the crowds.
I'm sure they'll strike there again.
what? - I'm sure they'll strike there again.
A typical line from one of your books.
My dear watson. I just looked at the map.
I feel it's sensible to go to a large lake, and to paint the boat there.
You'll have to stay hidden, later. And don't forget the clothes.
A masterpiece.
Let's stick it on.
BITTERN
Stay there.
Have you seen a boat called Ice Bird?
Yes, in the nature reserve, near here.
with two kids in it, and a dog? - Yes, a very vicious one.
He didn't mean that.
This is Cor. Can I talk to Roelie?
we got a report from the bridgeman.
The boat we're looking for has been spotted.
You can come out, the coast is clear.
He bought it, it worked.
The car. Get down.
Dad, they look like those suckers we set up, with the boat.
Are you sure it was those boys? - A hundred percent.
I was right, they're also heading for the next fair.
Can you see the car?
They're too fast, we can't catch them.
we have to, so we can prove we're innocent.
I'm sure they'll stop for a while.
Turn around. It's getting late.
Can you see anything yet?
I think this is pointless.
By the jetty. Something red.
Sniff, be careful.
where are they?
Do you smell their dog, Sniff?
The trunk.
Your hairpin.
Come on.
what are you doing? - what Sherlock Holmes would do.
He's a character in a book. And I don't think they had hairpins then.
Just let me do this.
Those are stolen goods.
This is evidence. we can show it to the police.
That's no use. The Chief mentioned a head brooch, or something.
we have to go to that island. - why?
There are so many islands. - You saw them heading that way.
If Sniff and I search it and find the brooch, we'll go to the police, okay?
I don't know.
when they see there are two other boys with a dog, they'll have to believe us.
I'll give you an hour. Good luck.
Good job, Sniff.
They might be here. Can you smell them?
Stay down.
we have to be quiet.
They're all camp followers. If you don't resist, you're guilty.
They're all just lining their pockets.
But Mom... - Keep your mother out of it.
She'd still be alive if the soil wasn't poisoned.
Because they had to dump all kinds of stuff.
why? Because they had to produce all kinds of stuff.
For whom? For all those fat civil servants.
Yes, but... - I don't want any more buts from you.
You're such an irritating little guy.
Look at your brother, he gets it at least. Get to work.
Get a move on, boys.
Come on now, hurry up.
All that messing about.
They must have hidden their stuff there.
Find it. Find the stuff.
It's always the same with Tom.
All stolen goods.
So you think it's cozy here. - Hide, Sniff.
Then you should live here for a while.
That's enough.
So you thought you'd drop by? Is that right, boy?
That's nice. - Dad...
Another peeper.
Stay down there, Sniff. I'll give you a sign when you can come out.
we can get out of here easily. You bet.
Let me go. - Stay.
I haven't done anything. You're hurting me.
Next to him. Hands behind your back.
You belong together, don't you?
Sniff, now. Get help.
Hurry. - The dog. Lumpy, follow him.
Jimmy, tie her up.
Dad, over there. - Yes, I see him.
He's dead.
How could you?
Stupid mutt. - He wasn't a stupid mutt.
He was my dog. - Are you attacking your father?
what would your mother say? I'm the only one you can trust.
Those fat pigs out there don't care about us. It's us against the rest, get that?
Do you understand?
Look, boy, this is how you do it.
Get me another piece of rope.
Stop it, you're hurting her.
Calm down, Jimmy. we have no choice. They'd turn us in.
They were just sailing the boat. - Then why was he spying?
Lt'll be alright, believe me. - we should chase that dog after all.
Is Sniff still alive? - He was lucky, but it won't last.
You stay here and watch them. You're coming with me.
Please untie us.
Come on, Jimmy. It's Jimmy, right?
It's wrong, what your father's doing.
Look at us. It really hurts. You can untie us, can't you?
I won't say anything.
Don't do everything he does. - He is my father, you know.
Only he and Nils take care of me. - what about your mother?
Dead.
what happened?
I was still small. we had a little farm, close to a factory.
First our animals died. Dioxin poisoning, my father said.
Then my mother got cancer.
The factory, my dad said. But a lawyer said they followed the rules.
And that's why he's angry at everyone?
He says people just want money. He wants to teach them a lesson.
And you? - I'm not that angry at everyone.
But Tom and I are victims. - Just untie us, please.
I can't let them down. - But you.
what do you want?
He went into the lake.
Go on, tell me. How much do you know?
Nothing. we saw you sailing across, Tom wanted to follow you.
That's all. Even the police don't know anything.
But they locked you up.
we escaped.
Sure. And you want me to believe that?
Isn't it nice, being tied up together? You can get to know each other.
Or are you a couple? - She's my sister.
Is that so? You don't look alike at all.
Still, I'm glad I got you. - But not my dog.
Oh, I didn't get your dog.
Is it a miracle dog that can talk? Too much imagination is dangerous.
I'm going to dump your boat, then we're off.
Don't you want the dog? - Let him swim. It's an animal.
But I want to talk to you. Get in there. You too, come on.
I don't know if you like it or not, but I'll be back in a while.
what was all that talk? - what you're doing isn't right.
Interesting. And you're the judge of that? - Mom would never have approved.
Don't talk about your mother.
I raised the two of you.
I fed you.
Nils... - what?
Hit him.
Can't you do anything?
Enough. - what did you say?
Enough, Dad.
Don't you see I want what's best for you?
And this is the thanks I get.
I just want you to take care of yourselves.
I don't care about the others, about society.
And yes, sometimes you have to sacrifice others.
Take him away.
Throw him in with the other two.
I have to think.
wait. I'll try it with my nail.
Never mind. It won't work.
It was stupid, looking for you. But you took so long.
No, it's my fault.
Are you in pain?
Come closer.
Thank you.
It's no use.
where do you want to look now?
The bridgeman said he saw a similar boat, only with a different name.
The Bittern.
All around the lake?
we'd better.
Say, Van Tongeren, have you caught those kids yet?
what am I paying you for?
we're still looking.
A nice boating trip, using tax money? You have to search, Van Tongeren.
Those kids can't push us around.
I'm doing my best.
Come on, Jimmy, we're going.
Give him a hand.
That was wrong of Dad. - what did you say?
Nothing, Dad. Nothing.
Are those two still tied up well?
Yes, Dad. Nice and tight.
Let's get to the boat, there's work to do. Hurry.
You're staying here for a while.
The two of you.
Don't, Tom. Be quiet. Or he'll know we got loose.
we have to be sure he's gone.
what is Dad planning to do? - No idea.
Go on. I'll put you ashore, then I'll go back to solve our problem.
He listens to you. Please.
Come on, get on board.
what do you mean by solving a problem?
what is this? Have you been stirring him up?
If they talk, we'll go to jail. You want to do that to me?
Not another word. That goes for both of you.
Get on board, now.
Over there.
To the shore. That dog.
Aren't you called Sniff?
You want me to follow you?
I don't know what else to do. - It'll be alright.
You think so?
Jeltje always says good will conquer evil, right?
I'm sure Sniff is getting help.
Sniff, where are you going?
I'll do whatever you want. But please. They won't tell on us.
Shut up, you runt. Just look out and shut up.
And you too.
Those kids were right.
what do you want? where are they?
Are they over there?
Come here.
who are they?
Guys, get away from there.
This isn't good.
Come on, we have to hide.
If you steal today, make sure it's something useful.
I'm not getting out. - You'll do as I say.
Because I'm your father, got that?
I'm not doing it either, Dad.
You're going too far. - I'm going too far?
You know who's going too far? You are. And you too.
Get home by yourselves.
I'll see you there later. Then I'll deal with you.
Pick us up at the jetty. Quickly.
I've got you. I've got you.
Hey. Are you okay?
It's really going to be alright.
why did I want to go to the island?
It's not all your fault.
No. I never should have taken you along.
They're right.
I never use my stupid head... - Stop it.
You are stupid, yes.
But only because you think you're doing the right thing.
And would Sherlock Holmes ever cry?
This one would.
You're very responsible, aren't you?
Maybe I should take a good look at myself as well.
Don't be silly. - Look at Jimmy.
He feels so responsible for his father...
that he does things he doesn't want to do.
This is what the Chief was talking about. The head brooch.
I'm sure they'll be back for the loot.
we have to hide it.
In your pants, maybe?
At least we'll have proof.
which way?
Over there.
There. - There?
Sniff, wait for us.
Against the wall, you two. Hurry up.
Stand close together.
So you got loose after all? But that won't help.
what are you going to do?
Have mercy. Please.
You're going to die.
You're done for.
Grab that dog. Grab him.
Cuff him.
You two?
I taught you everything. For us.
For us. You understand? - There's no us anymore.
we decide. we're responsible for our own name.
we don't want this anymore. - But they got us again, Jimmy.
They made you betray me.
They're destroying us. They're destroying me. Destroying you.
No, Dad. That's what you're doing.
He's a very special dog. A real captain.
Good job, Sniff.
I have something as well.
The evidence.
I'm sorry I didn't believe you. - I...
You...
There's no need. It's okay.
But you were locked up for nothing, because of us.
what will happen to them now? - I can't say.
They acted on their father's orders, of course.
Are you going to testify against your father?
He used to be different. But lately...
As if he got crazier all the time.
I wish you all the best.
Have a nice holiday. - Thanks.
But I think we're going home tomorrow. Right, Sniff?
Stay close to me
because I don't want to know
where I would be
without your friendship
I would lose everything
you look at me as though you know so much more
as if you've known me before
in these strange times I'm living in
I'm so glad that you are here with me
Dad, Tjerk, here they come.
I was a bit worried. - She didn't eat for only three days.
Tell me. - The rope.
Did Tom listen to you? - Yes, he did.
Throw me the rope. - And the cooking?
I'm a chef, of course. - we even have some money left.
Good, right? Sniff agrees. - Didn't you have any adventures?
No, we just sailed around. That's fun too.
But it did get boring after a while.
I'm sorry, but I thought this boat was called Ice Bird.
We thought Bittern sounded more summery. Right, Sniff?
Bittern.
That's cool.
You give me courage
you know me through and through
like a real friend
honest as a child
Whatever you do
I'll stay on your track
do you also feel that our story begins here?
And wherever I go
you will follow me
close to each other
together with you
I can take on the world
you look at me as though you know so much more
as if you've known me before
in these strange times I'm living in
I'm so glad that you are here with me
stay close to me
because I don't want to know
Where I would be
without your friendship
I would lose everything
you look at me as though you know so much more
as if you've known me before
in these strange times I'm living in
I'm so glad that you are here with me
as if you've known me before
