[rock music plays]

Fuck.

POLICE

[Tony exhales deeply]

[Peter] Good idea - the tracker.

Not good enough.

Clearly. Anyone feeling compelled to...

Are you going to tell him?

[Tony sighs] Fuck.

[chattering]

[inaudible dialogue
between Tony and Henri]

He lost his daughter and his money.



Oh, no.

He got his ransom.

Mozes will let the girl go now.

Or he'd violate
one of his own commandments.

He put a gun to a girl's head and pulled
the fucking trigger. Remember that.

And he stole a bag of money.
I wouldn't call him very consistent.

-Marnix--
-No, Marnix killed himself.

-[cell phone beeps]
-Yeah.

Yeah. But for now, I'm assuming...

DAD, CAN YOU COME? IT'S URGENT.

...he'll let the girl go. Goddammit.

[rock music plays over stereo]

-Sara?
-[banging]

Dad, thanks for coming over.

[Peter] Are you OK?

[Sara exhales]

[Peter] Hey, now.

Tell me.

I...

I stayed the night at Lizzy's place and...

[Peter] Yeah?

When I got back,

everything was completely trashed.

Oh...

-[Peter] Did they take anything?
-I don't know. I haven't looked yet.

Did the neighbors see anything?

No.

Wait, hold on. Leave it there.

I'll get a team over here.

[Sara] Why?

There's no need.

I only asked you to come
because my sink is broken.

Unusual break-in, don't you think?

Maybe they know I wasn't home
because of my Facebook...

[Peter] I'm calling a team anyway.

-There's really no need.
-No, there is.

If we want to file a claim for
the insurance, we'll need a police report.

Or is there something I should know?

I had a housewarming party.

But I swear I only invited
five people, really.

They all brought their friends.

I didn't know any of them.

They sound nice.

No.

I... really think someone must have
slipped something into my drink.

I'm taking you to Mom's.

-No, Dad. She's gonna kill me.
-I said, I'm taking you to your mom's.

[Sara moans]

[Sara retches]

We should have refused to pay the ransom.

And let him play Russian roulette again?

We had to do something.

What if Mozes isn't the kidnapper?

[cell phone rings]

Yeah? Vicky.

What?

OK.

-We've got him.
-What?

[Vicky] The lab was able
to pull a print off the ransom bag.

Does your apartment look as bad
as you do right now?

My suggestion
is we take a moment to cool off.

Sure. You mean wait
until her hangover wears off.

Weren't you young once, Mom?

Didn't you ever make mistakes?

[Chantal]
Yeah, but not one after the other.

And nothing this bad.
What were you thinking?

I knew she was gonna be angry with me.
You see. I told you, Dad.

[Peter] We'll talk about this tomorrow.

And I'm angry, too.

Don't you kid yourself.

[Chantal] Thanks for the support.

I'd invite you inside, but...

Yeah.

[cell phone rings]

My partner.

-[Peter] Yeah, Vicky?
-[Vicky] Peter.

We've got him.

We've found a fingerprint and a match.

You know him.

Your informant, the Bulgarian.

I'll send you the address.

I'm on my way.

[ominous music plays]

POLICE

[loud crash]

[agent] Police!

This is the Police!

-Clear!
-[agent #2] Clear.

POLICE

Send them in. Perimeter secure.

REVENGE?

MOZES SENDS EMAIL TO MEDIA

[Liesbet] Bingo.

[Henri] I want to address
the abductor of my daughter, Chloé.

I did what you asked me to do.

I want you to keep
your end of the agreement.

Chloé is my only daughter.

Please don't take her away from me.

Chloé, if you can hear me, I love you.

-[cell phone beeps]
-[Henri] And I miss you.

[newsreader] That concludes the statement
of Henri Clement who--

That's exactly what we needed.

Who told him to do that?

-Coffee?
-No, thanks.

[Peter] Hang on.

Look at this.

You and me. Alone.

-Hang on. Don't we have to--
-No, no.

[sinister music plays]

-[Chloé whimpering]
-[Peter] It's OK, it's OK.

Police. Everything will be alright.

-[Chloé screams]
-[Peter] It's OK. Police. Stay calm.

[man] Put your gun down.

-Hristo.
-Just drop your gun.

-Hristo, listen.
-Just put your gun down.

-Drop it now!
-[Peter] Take it easy.

If you had given me that residence permit,
this wouldn't be happening.

[Peter] That wasn't my fault.

It was not my fault.

[Vicky] Drop it!

Weapon down. Now!

My wife is on the run.
They think that I'm an informant.

-Put your weapon down!
-Put your weapon down!

-Shoot him!
-[gunshot]

[gunshot]

[grunting]

[Chloé crying]

-[Peter] Are you OK?
-[Vicky] Yeah, good.

[Vicky grunts]

[engine roars]

-[Chloé yells]
-Are you OK?

Let me untie you. I'll take this off.

-[Chloé sobbing]
-[Vicky] It's OK.

-I'm gonna go.
-[Chloé screams] No! No!

-I've got to go. I'll be right back.
-[cries] No, please! No!

I'll come right back.
I'm not leaving you. It's OK.

-I'll be right back.
-No!

Peter?

[sinister music plays]

Peter?

[Liesbet] Why wasn't I informed?

We had to act fast.

You're aware of the giant risk you took?

You could have at least
called in a task force.

No, no.

Is that what you wanted? For him to panic
and use the girl as a human shield?

Fleeing with a gun to her head?

We've got him.

And Chloé is safe.

That's what counts.

And the cash?

We didn't find any money in the car, and
they're searching inside the warehouse.

OK.

I can't believe
that he would make such a big mistake.

Jesus.

Are you feeling sorry for him?

[dramatic music plays]

[newsreader] The question
of whether Chloé Clement's abductor

is also working under the identity
of the serial criminal Mozes

remains unanswered.

In a statement released earlier today,

the District Attorney's Office

admitted that evidence
seems to suggest that much.

A detail worth noting is that
Hristo Bodurov was a police informant--

[cutlery rattles loudly]

[newsreader #2]
The Public Prosecutor's Office

has no further comments to make,

but will hold a press conference tomorrow
which may reveal more details.

If the man is indeed Mozes,

this will finally bring an end
to the spate of crimes

that were inspired
by the Ten Commandments.

-[weatherman chattering]
-[cell phone ringing]

[weatherman] At 7:00 p.m. last night,

a severe hailstorm
hit West and East Flanders...

[Vicky exhales sharply]

INCOMING CALL

Hey.

Can you confirm
it was Mozes who was arrested?

Hang on,
there will be a press conference later

where you'll all be able
to ask the questions you want.

Alright? Good. Thank you.

-[Moreels] I thought it was important...
-What the fuck?

...to show my support for Mozes.

And also I want to be clear,

I think that his mission
is more important than his actions.

That fucking sociopath.

AN INSPIRATION TO US ALL

[ominous music plays]

-Hi.
-It's a blessing to meet you, sir.

We're spreading your word.

[music continues]

Whoa. What's she doing here?

Good morning.

I'm sorry, but we have strict regulations.

No one can be in the room
with the suspect.

Yes, no one except close family members
and his attorney in this case.

And I think it's obvious
I'm not a member of his family, huh?

[Peter] Are you going to defend him?

[Van de Kerckhove]
Everyone has a right to representation.

But even by their victim?

There is no precedent
preventing me from helping, so...

-No, no. That's it--
-What are you doing?

I'm going to ask your client
a couple of questions.

[Van de Kerckhove] Mr. Bodurov was
your informant. You're closely involved.

He's also indicated
he doesn't want to be questioned by you.

We'll handle the questioning.

Mr. Bodurov, I'm Detective Vicky Degraeve.

This is my colleague, Tony Vermeire.
We're going to record this interview.

We'll provide your lawyer with a copy.

I'll make sure that
they follow the correct protocol.

Yeah.

[Tony] OK.

Name?

Do you have to ask?

Hristo Bodurov.

-[Peter] Yeah?
-Peter.

I have to be able to question Hristo.

He doesn't want to talk to you.

[laughs] He wouldn't be the first,
right, Liesbet?

[Liesbet] We just got
the first round of lab tests.

We found DNA
from nearly all of the victims.

-He's done.
-[Peter] Yeah, I know that.

But he's my informant. I want to look him
in the eye when he confesses.

Don't you understand?

And old lady was robbed at home.

She was in shock yesterday.

They postponed
taking her statement till today.

Hey.

You're not serious.

They can't all be Mozes. Right, Peter?

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
HAPPY LIVING IN "RESIDENCE DE HEIDE"

[woman] I opened the door for him.

He pushed me into the house
and he pulled me with him,

into here, the living room.

And then he tied me up.

And... did he take anything?

Some figurines,
some money from out of my purse,

and that cell phone,
the one you gave me a while ago.

But not your jewelry, Mom?

[woman] No, I keep that hidden.

I don't have much anyway.

How long was he in your house?

Five minutes.

I've lived here for 35 years, sir.

And this type of thing hasn't happened.

You can't even feel safe
in your own home anymore.

-We'll find a solution.
-Right.

Now he's gonna bring up
the nursing home again.

-Mom, please.
-Of course not.

Don't let this scare you out of your home.

So you need a decent lock,
get yourself an alarm

and someone
who checks in on a regular basis.

I visit often.

[woman] Hmm.

I'm not Mozes.

And I don't know who Mozes is.

I just got jobs and I did them.

[Vicky] We found photos in your apartment.

We found the motorcycle in your garage.

And we've found the victims' DNA
on your clothing.

[Tony] So you were just a hired lackey?

[Hristo] He paid me.

And I did what he asked me to do.

[Vicky] Who is he?

[Hristo] I don't know.

[Tony] I hope you don't think
you'll be getting off lightly.

You'll still be formally charged with
counts of kidnapping, torture, rape...

[Hristo] I didn't kidnap

or torture anyone,

or anything like that.

[Vicky] What about Chloé?

I don't know.

I found her in my garage.

So his plan
is to put the blame on someone else.

That's typical for a first questioning.
You do what you can.

Well, I probably shouldn't get involved...

[clears throat]

But what if Hristo was telling the truth?

What that means is the real Mozes
is still out there on the street.

Peter, I know he's your informant
and you want to believe him,

but consider the facts.

We'll question him again tomorrow.

What's that?

[Peter] It's what I prepared
when I thought I'd be questioning him.

It might end up helping us.

Mozes or not,

we've never been as close as we are.

Good luck.

[Mr. Degraeve] This will cost you
more than three-months' deposit.

No, don't worry.
I'll take care of all of the repair work.

If you were my daughter,
you'd pay for it yourself.

So,

I'm giving you four weeks
to get everything repaired and cleaned up.

And can you tell Vicky something for me?

Congratulate her for capturing Mozes.
Please tell her I'm extremely proud.

Maybe you should tell her yourself.

Thank you, Dad.

[Peter] Start saving your money.

Yeah.

If you want the world
to treat you like an adult,

you need to learn to face
the consequences of your actions.

OK.

OK.

Goodnight.

[Sara] Bye.

If it is him...

There's evidence,
but he hasn't confessed yet.

Yeah, thanks, Papa.

Yep, bye.

[monitors softly beeping]

What are you doing here?

The documents for your wife and kid.

You can bring them over now
if you can find them.

I said you could trust me.

But you just couldn't wait.

I think I deserve the truth now,
my friend.

It is the truth.

[groans] I did what I was told to do.

I had to observe
and then report back to the guy.

And kidnapping the girl?

Were you told to do that?

Yes.

What happened to the ransom money?

-The father...
-[door slams in distance]

He was supposed
to transfer the money to a charity.

Mozes wanted that.

But I needed the money.

So you had no choice.

It was the only way out
for my family and me.

You have to believe me.

[Peter] Hey.

[brooding music plays]

What are you doing?

I have to go.

[Felix] Really?

When will I see you?

You won't.

I won't?

Fuck.

Vicky...

Thanks.

I'll miss you.

[brooding music plays]

[Liesbet] Miss Van de Kerckhove.

Good morning.

[Van de Kerckhove]
Did you think I'd let this slide?

What are we talking about?

If my client is questioned,
I need to be present.

-No one has--
-Detective Devriendt saw him last night.

Son of a bitch.

I'm filing a complaint.

Can't we just talk about this?

Not this time.

I took a look at your notes.

I think I have an idea for a way
to get him to a place where he'll confess.

Coax a confession?
Is your plan to be a shoulder to cry on?

Yeah. What is it?

Hristo said that he turned on
the fire sprinklers at the nursing home,

but besides that, he was only supposed
to observe and follow, right?

-Yeah.
-[Peter murmurs in agreement]

So what was he doing at the church
for the Third Commandment?

Your notes say
he drove past you on a motorcycle.

Yeah, but he could say
it wasn't his motorcycle.

There's no doubt he's lying.
The question is, about what?

-Or not lying about...
-[Peter] Exactly.

I would like to believe he's Mozes, but...

-I don't think he is.
-[telephone ringing]

-[Paulien] Hello?
-He's lying about all of it.

You can't believe that he was
only following someone else's orders.

-I do.
-[Paulien] I'll tell him. Yeah.

Peter?

-[Peter] Hmm?
-Liesbet wants to see you.

[sighs] Oh...

[Peter sighs heavily]

Are you serious?

Yeah.

Hristo and I have a relationship.

I thought I'd find out more
if I spoke to him myself. That's it.

What if we have to release him
due to procedural errors,

because of your unprofessional behavior?

[Peter] Well...

I know I made a mistake. Yeah.

You did more than simply make a mistake.

I'm taking you off the case, Peter.

What about Mozes?

[Liesbet] We've got Mozes.

But we need you on this.

[Paulien] You know
that she always overreacts, Peter.

-[Vicky] I'll have a word with her.
-It won't change anything.

Concentrate on working the case.

I'm not done yet.

I'm just on other cases.

-Public urination, domestic disputes...
-[Paulien] Don't act like you don't care.

[Tony] What did Hristo tell you?

[Peter] I'll put it in an email.

[Peter] Are you free this evening?

[laughs] Yeah, I am, too.

I've got a lot of time.
I'll explain later.

And I'll cook something.
How does that sound?

So, Chantal, I have to go. Bye.

Hello, Els.

Could we talk for a minute?

I don't believe there's anything
for us to discuss.

I want to explain.

I never meant to mislead you
or lie to you.

Yeah, like you had
no choice in the matter.

[Els sighs] It's...

You know...

I had just found out...

Johan was cheating on me for a long time.

-Oh, right. So you used me for revenge.
-No, Peter.

It felt nice with you. It felt right.

[Els shouts] Johan? Johan, no!

[Els screams] No, no, stop!

-[Peter] Jesus. Son of a bitch!
-[Els yells] Johan, stop. Knock it off.

Stop.

[Peter groans]

[Els whispers] Oh, my God.

[Peter groans] Jesus...

[Els] Sorry, Peter.

Yeah...

[Peter groans]

[Pete] Ow, ow!

Be careful, Blue.

[Blue] Yes, but he won't sit still.

Hey, shall I do it?

No.

Who hit you? A bad guy?

Yes. That's right.
He was a very, very dangerous bad guy.

-But you should see him.
-Why? Because you're so strong, or what?

[Peter] Hold on, hold on...

Hey...

-What about you?
-I'll... I'll get some bandages.

Stay where you are.

[Kelly] What made him so angry?

Did you steal his girl?

I didn't even know that he had a girl.

I thought men were the only ones
who lied about being married.

[sighs]

[Peter] Have you found a new job?

[Kelly] Yep.

Part-time sanitation executive.

Cleaning lady.

Anyway, now I can take Blue
to and from school.

[Blue] Your nurse is back.

Yep.

Yep, be careful.

-Done.
-So?

How do I look?

[Blue laughs] You look really silly.

I'm sorry?

Really, really, really, really silly.

[Peter] Oh...

[brooding music plays]

If I'd known you were going
to put me to work...

You wouldn't have come?

It suits you.

I look tough, hmm?

Sure.

[Peter] I had a word
with Sara this afternoon.

-Oh, yeah?
-[Peter] Yeah.

She'll pay me 250 euros a month,

she says.

-So she played you again.
-[Peter] What do you mean?

250 euros times 12 makes 3,000, not 3,500.

[Peter] Oh, come on. Give it a rest.

She's still got you
wrapped around her finger.

[cell phone ringing]

[Peter] Well, that's Vicky.

[ringing stops]

Voilà.

I can't believe my eyes.

You just ignored a call from work?

Now I have to go home.

Alex is waiting for me.

Call him.

Tell him he should join us.

[Peter chuckles]

Stupid.

Or tell him
your sister is having a meltdown

and you're staying at her place.

Alright, fine.

Just one.

[slow piano music plays]

[Chantal chuckles]

[Chantal] Heavenly.

[Peter] Yeah.

We should do this again soon.

Peter...

I had a moment of weakness.

But I'm not going
to start an affair with my ex.

An affair?

I'm not talking about an affair.

When we were getting divorced,

I told myself
I would never date a cop again.

And if I stop?

You're going to quit?

Yeah.

-Mozes is my last case.
-[vehicle approaching]

I'm retiring.

Who's that?

One sec.

So that's why you weren't picking up.

How did you find me?

Good guess.

Hristo confessed.

All of it.

[Vicky]
You methodically chose your victims.

You followed the Ten Commandments
so you could make a statement.

Alright,

time to talk.

[Hristo] The world is horrible.

People are horrible.

People don't help each other.

They only think of themselves.

Look, look, look.

I'm alone.

Everyone's alone.

I told you what you wanted to know.

Now leave me alone.

We kept going, but he refused to speak.

[Liesbet] It doesn't matter.

We've got his confession.

Good work.

I want you all to join me
at the press conference.

No, there's really no need for that.

A good night's sleep
will be enough for me.

Don't you dare look at me, Liesbet.

You're on your own.

Alright.

I'll put it in a press release.

And after, I'm buying everyone drinks.

[footsteps approaching]

Mozes.

Disappointed?

Maybe a little.

[Peter] I get it.

I tend to feel that way
when I catch someone I've been looking for

for a long time.

It's never what I expect.

-[Vicky] Yeah, I suppose.
-[Peter] Yeah.

[Jos] What most people don't know
is that the Ten Commandments

are the most widely known laws
in the world.

They aren't only endorsed by Catholics -
no, no, no -

but also by the Jews and the Muslims.

There are even a lot of non-Catholics

who know the Ten Commandments
and try to live by them.

The world is chaotic today.

That's where the Ten Commandments
can be a lifeline

for people who have doubts, who are lost.

And that's exactly what they are to me.
They are a lifeline.

People make mistakes, right?

But people also have... damaged souls.

They seek support from others.
Thankfully, some can get it.

But unfortunately, not everyone.

[monitors beeping]

[Jos] There is only one commandment

which is completely unambiguous
in its meaning.

It is, "Thou shalt not kill."

I mean,

The other commandments can be interpreted
and reinterpreted in many ways.

But "Thou shalt not kill"

leaves absolutely no doubt.

Knowing that,
do we have the right to punish others?

Who gives us the right to punish them?

To not show empathy...

or understanding...?

THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS
AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR
