Good morning.

Hey.

I should have been home a long time ago.

I have a ton of work to do.

Your work's not gonna go anywhere.

Unfortunately, my work calls.

Make yourself at home.

Stay.

Sleep in. If you've got to go, please
be sure to lock the door behind you.

OK.

Wish I could stay.

Another time.



-See you.
-Bye.

I can't keep my eyes open.

[Paulien] Same here.

That guy might not be in our archives.

If not, we won't find him.

Let's take a break.

[Vicky] There's no time to waste.

[Paulien]
I'll tell you what's a waste of time...

If we have to go to the hospital
for epileptic fits

from staring at screens filled
with fat 50-year-olds all night long.

[Vicky scoffs]

Come on, let's go.

[groans] Oh, man.

I shouldn't say this,

because I would like nothing more
than to catch Mozes...

but for some God-awful reason,
I just can't help it -

I wanna know what's next.

-What I mean is--
-I know what you mean.

But, Vicky,
your job is to catch the bad guys,

and to stop them
from harming more innocent people.

I know.

[siren wailing]

[suspenseful music plays]

[Peter] Ah, Simon.

I'm gonna need your help
on this case, my friend.

Is there a judgement yet?

No, it's not true.

-Tell me it's not true.
-It is.

Liesbet won't get the pleasure
of kicking me to the curb.

So no one actually fired you, then?

Come on, think about it.
They don't have a choice.

[Peter] Yeah, they do.

They can give you a warning or keep you
on desk duty for the time being.

Yeah, that will make my life a lot better.

They're gonna miss you.

You mean you're gonna miss me. Homo.

I mean, I wouldn't...
I wouldn't put it in those words, but...

-Well...
-Well...

What are you going to do?

[Simon] Yeah.

I shouldn't have left him on his own.

[Peter] Marnix?

I should have stayed with him
and not let him...

If I had,
he never would have shot that guy.

[Peter] No, no.

You shouldn't have lied
to the Ethic Committee.

Man, come on.

There are a lot of things
I've done in my life that I regret,

but lying to the Ethics Board
isn't one of them.

But don't you think
that Marnix did it to himself?

That's not the point of this whole thing.

What happened to Marnix
could happen to any one of us.

[Vicky] Simon, are you back?

Bob Desaeger is awake now.

We can ask him who the third pedophile is.

Ah, so now we're dealing with perverts.

You know what?
I'll give this one last shot.

My sweet, sexy Vicky...

would you like to accompany me later

for a decadent candlelight dinner,

and then follow up
with an after-party in a sauna,

so our bodies can finally
be introduced to each other?

-No.
-No? How about that?

[Simon laughs] No.

C'est la vie.

You think too much.

That's your problem.

[melancholic music plays]

-[Vicky] Does he know we saw the video?
-[Peter] No, no. Nothing.

Right now, he sees himself
as the victim of a terrible injustice.

[Vicky] A victim! How fucked up is that?

That girl wasn't even 12.

You know, the entire world is fucked up.

[monitor beeping]

Did you find out who did this to me?

[monitor beeps faster]

Anyway, it would seem as though
you are the victim of a serious crime,

so, we should also investigate that.

We're wondering
about the person who kidnapped you.

Do you know who it was?

[man] I...

I have no idea.

Do you think it was the same person
who crushed your legs?

[man] I think...

he must have had a ski mask on.

I was beaten.

And I woke up at a construction site.

I was tied up.

[Peter] People tend not to be
very forgiving of child molesters.

So we need you to give us
the contact information of your partner.

[man] I...

I don't know who he is.

[Peter] Seriously?

You took part in a gang bang with him.
You've seen his goddamn cock.

-You watched him rape a child.
-I need a nurse.

But asking him for his name
was getting a little too familiar?

Get me the nurse.

[man] I don't know.

[man screams]

-His name.
-Stop.

[man screams]

[man inhales sharply]

[man] Armand set it all up.

So it would be safe.

And anonymous.

And how did you two get in contact?

It was...

Direct message.

On Tor.

[Vicky mutters]

[man sobs]

[man wails loudly]

[Vicky] I believe him -
that he doesn't know who the third man is.

[Liesbet] And that child Laure?

-[Liesbet] What can she tell us?
-[Vicky] She doesn't talk.

[Paulien]
No facial recognition in the database.

Why do anything at all?

Just give it some time.
We'll hear about something soon enough.

Someone else is bound
to be paralyzed by stoning.

We should make a composite photo
and release it to the public.

A wanted poster?

Whoa, wait. Aren't we worried that
we'll provoke Mozes into punishing him?

This could make it worse for him.

We don't have a choice.

[Liesbet] Let's hope we beat him to it.

Will you take care of the composite?

Where's Peter?

Come on, Mom.
Grab a box, or we'll be here all day.

I just can't do it, Sara.

Oh, come on. Don't start that.

Well, what do you want me to say?

Everything is moving so fast.

-Are you sure about this?
-Yeah, 1,000 percent.

Come on, Mom.

Alright, go.

I just have to get used to it.

Alright. There's just a few more boxes.

It'll be fine.

[man] "She looks at him, puzzled,
even shocked.

'You've cut me off from everyone,'
she seems to want to say.

'You've forced me to bury your secret.

I'm no longer just a student.

How can you speak to me like this?'

Her voice, when it comes, is so subdued...

so much so that she can barely hear."

DISGRACE

"'I can't take the test.
I haven't done the reading.'

What he wants to say...

cannot be said

that decently.

All he can do is signal

and hope that she understands."

WANTED NOTICE

POLICE

[eerie music plays]

[music drowns out dialogue]

[blues music plays over stereo]

[Peter] Is red OK?

It's all I've got.

Sure, as long as it's alcohol.

-[Peter] Has she settled in already?
-Yeah. Well, more or less.

Sorry to drop in like this.
I didn't want to go home.

Oh?

Isn't Alex there?

He is.

When Sara was around, I always had a...

I don't know, a distraction, I guess.

But for the week she lived in your camper,

we were arguing
or not speaking the whole week.

Just not what I expected.

Ah...

[Peter] Yeah...

So I'm not sure... what to say.

There's nothing to say.

-Sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned it.
-No, you should. It's OK, really.

In any case,
you're always welcome here, alright?

Just to talk.

To talk, yeah. I understand. Yeah.

What did you think?

I don't know.

[ominous music plays]

So, you understand, right?

Yes, of course.

You're right. We can't.

-Bye.
-Bye.

[quiet rattling]

[rattling gets louder]

[spraying]

[footsteps running away]

PEDOPHILE

-What are you doing?
-I thought I heard something.

Probably the neighbor's dog.

It's 5:00 a.m.

Really? I thought it was seven already.

OK, I guess... I'm up, too.

No, no. You go back to bed.
I'll just work for a bit.

I'll come back into bed, OK?

OK.

You're shaking.

I was startled.

-Stupid dog.
-Stupid dog.

See you soon.

[eerie music plays]

POLICE LOOKING FOR MOLESTER

[sighs]

[music intensifies]

[woman] Hey, where are you going?

You said you were coming back to bed.

I'm going to the bakery.

[woman] We have bread.

What's wrong?

[eerie music plays]

-[glass smashes]
-[car horn blaring]

-[woman screams]
-[car horn continues blaring]

[music intensifies]

[car horn continues blaring]

[woman] Eric, who was that?

Jesus, what's going on?

-I'm calling the police.
-[Eric] No. No, no. Don't.

I've...

Ludo...
You know the guy from Admin at work?

So I told his wife that
he was having an affair with a colleague.

I think it has to be that.

Wait, Eric, why would you do that?

If they're having an affair,
that is none of your business.

I'm calling the cops.

-No, no.
-Who will pay for that window?

I'll sort it out with him.
You've got to trust me.

THREE PEDOPHILES

MADE THIS VIDEO

TWO HAVE BEEN PUNISHED SO FAR

BUT WHO IS THE THIRD ONE?

DO YOU RECOGNIZE THIS MAN?

[Peter] That was to be expected.

[Liesbet] We have to take that down ASAP.

Look, getting it taken off this website
won't do any good.

We're never gonna be able
to get rid of it completely.

Once it's on the internet,
it's there forever.

[Vicky] It's been shared 50 times already.

The comments...

"Pedophiles
should be burned at the stake."

"That man should get the death penalty."

"#MozesRules."

[Paulien] In a few hours,
everyone will know his name and address.

Get ready for a good
old-fashioned witch hunt.

[woman sobbing]

[woman continues sobbing]

I think it's better if I leave.

That's not you.

Just please tell me that's not you.

-Why are all those people outside?
-Lola, please go to your room.

-Why, Mom?
-Go away.

Go to your room, I said.

[Lola shouts] No, no!

No!

The shit has hit the fan.

It's out there.
They've posted his name and address.

[Vicky] Eric Loenders, civil servant.

Local police are on their way right now.

[Peter] To bring him in, I hope?

-[low ominous music plays]
-[yelling outside]

[woman] I want you to be honest.

Did you touch her, too?

[angry shouting outside]

Did you also touch my daughter?

She's also my daughter, Karen.

Have you touched her?

No.

Now say that again.

-And look at me.
-[siren wailing]

[angry yelling]

-[man] Pedophile!
-Bastard!

[man #3] Get out of here!

[angry yelling outside]

No, you're lying. No, you...

You fucker!

[cries] You will never...
You'll never go to her again. Liar!

[sinister music plays]

[men grunting]

NO PEDO ON OUR STREET

-[angry yelling]
-[sirens wailing]

POLICE

NO PEDO ON OUR STREET

-[booing]
-[angry yelling]

This feels medieval.

Are you surprised?

When people think the police
aren't doing enough, or nothing at all,

this is what you get.

[angry yelling]

[siren wailing]

It only happened once.

I just got pulled into it.

[agent] I would like to believe you,

but that video would suggest otherwise.

That... I hope you understand, Eric.

It's the truth.

Armand was messing with my head.

[agent] I want to put myself
in your shoes,

and you can correct me if I'm wrong.

One evening, you're at home,
you're on your computer,

messaging with Armand.

And Armand makes a suggestion.

At first, you think...

"He can't be serious."

But you play along with what he says,
and you accept it.

The moment arrives and you think,

"I'll just have a look."

[agent]
There's nothing wrong with looking.

At first,
you think that Armand isn't serious,

but you are curious.

So you find a reason to leave the house.

Then you drive to meet Armand.

But at Armand's house, you realize...

that Armand really means it.

But you can't fight your curiosity.

And you think, "I'm here now."
So you pay him.

And you end up in a room with Armand,
another man,

and a girl that looks a lot older
than she really is.

And Armand begins to touch the girl.

And she doesn't mind.

She doesn't try to shout or hit him.

So you think...

"If I'm not really hurting her,
then nothing is wrong."

And before you know it, you've taken off
your clothes and it's your turn.

[foreboding music plays]

He said she liked it.

Eric, she was two years older
than your daughter.

-I have never touched her.
-No, I didn't say that.

I'm just trying to understand.

[Vicky] Jesus Christ.

We ought to beat a confession out of him.

By the end of the day, we'll have him
confessing to abusing his daughter.

He'll never get away with this.

Mozes has certainly orchestrated this one.

Eric's lost everything.

His job, his family,
his friends, his respect...

And then there's prison.

They're not wild
about pedophiles in there.

I can't say I feel sorry for him.

I just can't get those images
out of my head.

It hasn't gotten us any closer to Mozes.

No.

[woman through TV] Jacob Moreels
is living with a few like-minded souls

in an abandoned convent.

They wouldn't call themselves a sect.

They could be considered
an alternative family.

Some people are comparing Moreels
to serial criminal Mozes.

Mozes has neither agreed to that,
nor has he refuted it.

[man through TV] Throughout history,

it's been shown that a society
that doesn't want to perish

will eventually correct its own excesses.

We believe that Mozes is a correction.

In that respect, we should be grateful
that someone like him has stood up

and, out of necessity,
taken the law into his own hands.

[woman through TV]
Jacob Moreels and his followers,

who he prefers to call "comrades,"

live by the Ten Commandments.

[Moreels through TV]
It keeps us on the right path.

It shows us how we can be happy
by... living a righteous life.

In turbulent times like these,

we need a guide to show the way.

[woman through TV] A clear message from
a man who still believes in a better world

and is willing to fight for it.

[TV jingle playing]

Yes, ladies and gentlemen,
the family of Jacob Moreels.

You frequently refer to Mozes,
Mr. Moreels.

[Moreels] Yes.

I can't deny the fact that he,
or, actually, his message,

has been a great inspiration to all of us.

That's a controversial statement
to start off the debate.

Miss Van de Kerckhove?

He says Mozes inspires them.

I can imagine
that doesn't sit well with you.

You know that this is criminal.

Your guru locked me up for three days.
He sedated me.

He scarred me for life.

He took the law in his own hands.

That's something
we should never tolerate. Never.

I would like to point out
that thanks to his direct action,

a pedophile was arrested today.

My only hope

is that his actions make people reflect
on what is wrong with the world today.

The world?

Mr. Moreels, religious zealots
are walking around with iPhones

and they want to send us back
to the Dark Ages.

If we give him any way
to achieve his goals,

then society is lost.

[host] I want to turn
to our third guest this evening.

Mr. Schatteman, as a theologist,
what is your opinion on Mozes?

[Jos] As a theologist,
I can't take him seriously.

Let me clarify - despite his alias, which
he obviously borrowed from the Bible,

and the fact that he likes to refer
to the Ten Commandments,

I don't think he knows the Bible at all.

[host] Am I right in thinking

he hasn't really stuck
to the order of the Commandments?

And to my knowledge, he has
completely ignored "Thou shalt not kill."

[Jos over TV] Well, as far as we know.

But we have experienced that Mozes
moves much like God -

in mysterious ways.

[host] What do you think, Mr. Moreels?

[Moreels] What I think
is beside the point, really.

Mozes will complete his work.

His work?

Being a psychopath
isn't a job, Mr. Moreels.

Look, there are innocent victims
in every battle.

That is regrettable, but it's ultimately
secondary to the message.

To clear a path in the jungle,

you can't just use a butter knife.

You need a razor-sharp machete.

-Jesus Christ.

INCOMING CALL

[cell phone ringing continues]

[door opens]

[TV show continues in background]

[TV turns off]

[doorbell rings]

[somber music plays]

[somber music continues playing]

Who's the guy in the briefing room?

[Vicky] No idea.

He was talking to Liesbet earlier.

Did you watch the debate last night?

Did I miss anything?

[Vicky] Never heard such bullshit
in my entire life.

Three media whores
with too much time on their hands

and barely any intelligence.

Sounds like something
that would have put me in a good mood.

[yawns]

Sorry.

Another bad night.

You didn't sleep well?

[Vicky] I didn't sleep at all.

Insomnia.

[Peter] Hopefully, not because of work.

Suppose you weren't a cop anymore...

What do you think
your view of Mozes would be then?

That's a good question.

But I am a cop.

I feel like he has a point sometimes.

You realize that's what he's after?

He wants everyone to think like him.

Yeah.

I know.

Do you have a minute?

[Liesbet] This is Tony Vermeire
from Brussels Federal Police.

[Tony] Pleasure. Hello.

[Liesbet] Peter Devriendt, Vicky Degraeve.

They're taking the lead on the Mozes case.

Take a seat.

Tony believes he knows
about Mozes' next attack.

Actually, I believe the attack
has already happened.

The question is, is it Mozes?

The day before yesterday,
there was a report of a disappearance.

This is Chloé Clement.

She's a 22-year-old student.

We've received confirmation
that she's been kidnapped.

-And you're sure of this?
-[Tony] Yes, absolutely sure.

The kidnapper has already been in contact
with the victim's father.

Henri Clement.
He's CEO of WinYourselfRich.

It's a gambling website.

The kidnapper told him
he would never see his daughter again

if he makes any attempt
to contact the media.

What makes you think it's Mozes?

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL OR LIE

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL OR LIE

We've also received a link
to a webcam feed.

So... we know she's still alive.

Fuck.

This dates back two months.

This man killed his wife and two children.
Then he committed suicide.

He had so much debt, there was no way
he was ever gonna get out from under it.

Because he gambled on Clement's website?

Correct, yep. WinYourselfRich.

So you think Mozes wants to punish Clement
for losing everything?

[Tony] That's what I'm thinking.

-And on every message, he signs "Mozes."
-[Peter] Yeah.

Anyone could do that.

And it's, "Thou shalt not steal."
He wrote "steal and lie."

Even if this isn't Mozes' work,
finding Chloé is our top priority.

He's right.

[Tony] The kidnapper
is gonna contact the girl's father.

In two hours, he'll call him on Skype.

And we need to be there.

Or we get him to come here.

-Even better.
-[Peter] Yeah.

Take a seat.

[Skype dialing tone]

Daddy.

Chloé, sweetie.

You just have to do what he says.

[Henri] Leave my daughter alone.

Whatever you want, just take me instead.

He wants 500,000 euros in cash
in two hours.

I can't trace it.

I can get 300,000, if...

-[Chloé screams]
-No! No, no. Alright, alright! It's OK.

[Henri] 500,000 euros, OK.

[Chloé cries]

OK, 500,000. OK.

[Chloé] He'll call in two hours.

You have to be in your car
with the money next to you.

[Tony cries] Chloé, honey.

DISCONNECTED

[shallow breathing]

[whimpering]

[ominous music plays]

[Chloé wailing]

[Vicky] What if it's not Mozes?

Then it's still a case of kidnapping,
extortion and aggravated assault.

If it's not him,
we'll hear from Mozes real soon.

[Tony] Try to remember to stay calm.
And do exactly what he says.

Right.

Easier said than done.

We'll be waiting nearby, out of sight.

There's a tracker in the bag.

-You got it?
-Yeah.

-[cell phone ringing]
-Wait.

[exhales nervously]

[Tony] Are you ready?

[Henri] Hello?

Yeah.

OK.

Great, come on. Let's go.

[somber music plays]
