[monitors beeping]

Come on, now. Don't exaggerate.

We've got his confession on record.

Of course it's worth something.

What does the examining magistrate say?

Yes.

-[Vicky] Where have you been?
-Hey, I'm off the case now, Vicky.

Bullshit. One word to Liesbet--

Not a word to Liesbet.

I'm only here for your sake.

He's in a coma.

Someone put something into his drip
and wrote this on his notes.



[Vicky] Is he Mozes or not?

We're at a loss.

Come on.

Sorry, I'm not allowed to help.

I've dropped the ball too many times.

[Tony] A little peeved?

No idea.

Leave him be. We don't need him.

[games console music]

Hey, what are you still doing up?

Come on, Blue. You should be in bed.

Get inside, come on.

[Blue] Yes.

Mike?

Mike?

[Kelly] Mike, damn it, you know she has
to go to bed on time! It's a school night.

[Mike shouts] Do I have to hold her hand?
She's old enough.

[Kelly shouts] She was sitting outside
on her own! It's freezing!

-[Mike shouts] And that's my fault?
-[Kelly shouts] Yes!

[Mike shouts] I've fucking had it with you
and that stupid kid.

[Kelly] Mike!

[loud smash]

[Kelly shouts] Mike!

[loud smash]

[Paulien] Er...

Sophie Van de Kerckhove was there
that evening.

[tense music plays]

If you mean an alibi,
no, sorry, I don't have one.

But you do have a motive.

Really?

It's right there. On your forehead.

[Vicky] I would understand.

You're confronted with it every day.

It's not your fault.

You didn't deserve it.

Ms. Degraeve, I've witnessed a lot
of police interviews. That won't work.

[Tony] You have to admit
it's not looking good for you.

You had every reason to destroy Hristo.

-Mozes.
-Huh?

I have every reason to destroy Mozes,
not Hristo.

Hristo is not Mozes.

We've got a full confession
where he states the opposite.

Yes, that was his idea.

I gave him my full support.

But maybe I have to admit
that in hindsight

it wasn't a good move.

Ms. Van de Kerckhove,

you representing him
is already ethically irresponsible.

And now it turns out you've advised him
to make false confessions?

That was a... a strategy.

What should he have done?

No one believed him
when he spoke the truth.

As the main suspect,
at least he would be safe.

He would be under police protection.

If Mozes attacked again,
he would have an alibi.

Yes, he has one now.

Don't you have work?

[Peter] What do you think I'm doing here?

It's important to have your own home,
Sara, especially for you.

It will give you peace.

And if there's one thing you need,
it's peace.

Dad, I...

-I don't say it enough--
-It's fine.

Hands out of your pockets and help me.

I don't have my hands in my pockets.

You must have forgotten, then.

[Vicky] "Thou shalt have no other gods
before me." Ferhad Peres.

Let's hear it.

[Hristo] I kidnapped him.

[Vicky] At what time?

[Hristo] 4 p.m.? Between 4 and 5?

[Vicky] How did you kidnap him?

[Hristo] I hit him first.

And then I sedated him with Pentothal.

I put him in my car.

[Vicky] Where did you get the Pentothal?

[Hristo] From the hospital nearby.

And then I took him to that bridge.

I tied his wrists and ankles,

I set him alight
and then I extinguished the fire.

[Vicky] What time was that?

You know that, don't you?

[Vicky] Tell me anyway.

I don't remember.

-[Tony] It's all quite vague.
-[Paulien] His story doesn't add up.

Ferhad was seen at half past five
on the day of his kidnapping.

If it's any consolation,
the hospital confirms

there are indeed
a few doses of Pentothal missing.

More than normal, so that may be right.

[Vicky] Because he did that.

Stealing the Pentothal,

putting the jerrycan
and the extinguisher in place.

He did all the small jobs,
but the bigger work was Mozes' doing.

That's what he said
in his first statement.

You have to believe me.

I didn't touch that man.

I just needed to keep an eye on him
and know his whereabouts.

And yes, I had to...

take a filled-up jerrycan
and a fire extinguisher to that bridge.

I didn't know what they were for.

If I'd known, I would have gone
to the police immediately. I swear.

[Vicky] Why didn't you go afterwards?

[Hristo] I was afraid.

I needed the money.

[Tony] OK.

Imagine he's telling us the truth here.

I think we can assume that.

Yeah, but he may have done more
than he's claiming here.

Yes, but I think he really did
what he says he did.

[exhales deeply]

[eerie music plays]

ABSTAIN FROM WORDS AND DEEDS UNCLEAN

[Peter] See you soon. Yes.

[music playing through headphones]

-Hey.
-I'm off.

-You're working after all?
-Yes.

Are you counting them?

Watch your mouth, girl.
I'm not obliged to be here, you know.

I'm just kidding.

You're a lifesaver.

You do so much for me.

If I had to pay for all of this myself...

Whoa...

The arrangement still stands.

You'll pay in monthly installments.

I'm sure you'll get tips
at that bar of yours, right?

I've got a new job.

As an au pair for a couple
that works at NATO.

Sounds good.

Thanks, Dad.

You're welcome.

Dad, are you and Mom back together?

What?

Why?

I thought you were.

Why did you think that?

[in English] Wishful thinking.

[in Dutch] Did she say something to you?

No.

Shame, isn't it?

Yes...

-Bye.
-Yeah.

[computer notification]

ABSTAIN FROM WORDS AND DEEDS UNCLEAN

[Tony] We know his drip was swapped.

That's how the benzodiazepine got
into his blood.

But the chances of Hristo coming out
of that coma, are very low.

Probably a futile question,
but did anyone see anything?

We're still going
through the camera footage.

-No results yet.
-[cell phone beeps]

[Tony] And we're checking
for fingerprints.

[Vicky] I've just received a text
from Paulien.

Apparently, he's resurfaced.

[eerie music plays]

[paper shredder whirring]

[man] Hello, Peter.
He's waiting for you inside.

Petty criminal.

He's getting everything off his chest.

Do you think he's reliable?

You never know.

But why would he lie?

[Peter] Good afternoon.

Yes?

And who are you?

Something about a kind old lady
who was manhandled in her own home?

I know who did that.

Yes? I'm listening.

Do you think I'm just going to tell you?

You see, I want...

a deal.

I give you a name,

and you get me a sentence reduction.

No, that's not how it works, boy.

You give me a name...

or you're treated as an accomplice.

That's how it works.

Gino.

And what does Gino look like?

[eerie music plays]

[car unlocks]

[Peter] Hello, Gino.

Let's hear it.

Where were you on Thursday night?

No.

Never seen her before.

Do you know what the advantage is
of being on the job for so long?

I can tell a lie from a mile away.

But rest assured,
I'm not interested in you.

I've nicked plenty of riff-raff like you.

I want to know who set it up.

That's who I want.

-I don't know anything about a set-up.
-Come on, Gino.

You barely took off with anything at all.

And you went out of your way
not to hurt that old lady.

That's no robbery.

It was an act. It was staged.

One name.

Then you can walk out of here
without a care in the world.

OK?

[Gino] You don't have a leg to stand on.

-[Peter] Have you got him yet?
-Who?

The guy who went after Mozes.

He's not Mozes.

[Peter] Right.

-[Peter] To be honest--
-You thought so, I know.

[Peter] Yes.

But Mozes may have gone after Hristo...

Looks like it.

He's resurfaced anyway.

Paulien received an email with
a newspaper article from three years ago.

One Rozemarijn V. jumped
in front of a train.

That's all we've got.

And what have you found out?

She was called Rozemarijn Vlaeminckx.

Born September 25 1978.

Studied philosophy.

Worked for a charity organization
helping the poor.

Unmarried, no children.

A history of psychological care.

That's it. It's a dead end.

And what commandment have you got to?

Abstain from words and deeds unclean.

Does she have a criminal record?

And you're sure it was a suicide?

I checked it. Witnesses saw her jump.

I'm guessing Tony is sifting
through police records as we speak?

Not really. Nowadays,
we use search terms and computers.

Yeah, sure. That is,
if everything has been digitalized.

There's a suspicious amount
of boxes with files in the attic.

Thanks.

-Keep your fingers crossed for me.
-I will.

-Aren't you coming?
-[Peter] No.

I have to write up some reports and...

I'd like to be home early tonight.

[Tony] Come on, guys.

Let's leave it at that for today.

We'll pick it up tomorrow.

A few hours won't make a difference.

You don't know that. They might.

[car engine]

-Did something happen?
-No.

No, I had a change of mind. I thought...

Sorry.

-But you came after all.
-Yes.

[rock music playing over stereo]

OFFICIAL REPORT
MR. JOS SCHATTEMAN

INDECENT ASSAULT

[Schatteman] Good morning.

You're always welcome, but...

I have little more to say about Mozes.

-We're not here about Mozes.
-Oh.

We're here for you, Mr. Schatteman.

WOMAN (37) JUMPS IN FRONT OF TRAIN

Why are you showing me this?

[Tony] Do you know who this is about?

[Schatteman] One Rozemarijn V.

[Tony] Do you know a Rozemarijn V.?

[Schatteman] Not that I know of.

[Tony] Does the name
Rozemarijn Vlaeminckx ring a bell?

[Schatteman] I don't think so.

And this girl?

No, I don't think so.

Think harder.

She may have been a student of mine.

That's right.

[Tony] Anything else comes to mind?

No.

-[Vicky] We've looked in our records--
-Hang on.

Is she the one who filed that complaint?

Can I have another look?

Yes, yes, I think it's her.

That was such a long time ago.

-[Vicky] Eighteen years.
-Exactly.

That's why I didn't recognize her.

Was the complaint upheld?

Of course not.

She withdrew it shortly after.

That girl was mentally unstable.

[Vicky] "We had a bit too much to drink.

But when he started hitting on me,

I clearly said no.

Repeatedly."

[Tony] There was a witness.

Veerle De Keyser?

Who happened to be good friends with her.

I don't know what they were up to,

but apparently, they got second thoughts.

Thankfully, or I would have lost my job.

It happened at the time
of the Dutroux affair.

Every day, there was a girl
accusing someone of rape.

But I don't understand
why you're bothering me with this now.

You said it yourself, it's been 18 years.

[Tony] This article was emailed
to us yesterday.

And that email was probably sent by Mozes.

Mozes? I mean...

You've got Mozes, right?

He confessed, didn't he?

I would like you to think
about the past few days.

Have you noticed anything suspicious?

Anything that might suggest
Mozes is targeting you?

[Peter] I really mean it.

[Chantal] You shouldn't do this.

-[Peter] I do.
-[Chantal] You'll end up being miserable.

I felt miserable last year, too.

I can handle it.

You've changed a lot in such a short time.

You look better, too.

Except for that beard.

I feel better, too.

I used to get angry when you said

I should be around more for you.

And for Sara.

But of course, I only got angry
because I knew you had a point.

And I went back to work, thinking...

I will never let that happen again.

How long has it been?

Two months, three months?

Eleven weeks.

You see?

And it's just as bad as before.

So what are you going to do?

Wait for your retirement?

Early retirement.

[Peter] Eh?

If you're up for that, of course.

[cell phone ringing]

Mr. Vice-Chancellor?

The Facebook drama?

What Facebook drama?

I don't have a Facebook account.
I don't even know how it works.

[woman through intercom] There were
three of us. Schatteman, Rozemarijn and I.

I believe...

we were at a reception first

and then he promised to get us some coke.

I did notice
he was feeling up Rozemarijn, but...

I thought she didn't mind.

Not at first.

So I let them be.

I was so young. What did I know?

Why do you now think

she wasn't comfortable with it?

[woman] Because she started saying no.

First she said it playfully.

Probably thinking
he would stop immediately.

[woman] But she kept saying no.

Louder, too.

I was drunk and stoned.
I know it's no excuse, but...

maybe that's why...

I walked away.

[Vicky] Did you go and find help?

No.

I never spoke to Rozemarijn again
after that.

I avoided her.

And she avoided me.

But what exactly did you see?

I mean, sorry, but as far as I see it,

it's all very unspecific.

He grabbed her.

He pulled her panties down.

And he was unzipping his pants.
Is that specific enough for you?

Your Facebook post this morning
caused quite a stir.

Yes, and rightly so.

I can't stand
people getting away with things

just because they're on TV.

But, Veerle,

this happened 18 years ago.

Why today?

Why did you post that on Facebook
today of all days?

Because...

Look...

I didn't know she had killed herself.

I hoped she had put it behind her.

That she had moved on with her life.

I always thought we would get the chance
to talk about it one day.

How did you find out she killed herself?

Yeah, this letter was
in the post this morning.

I don't know who put it there.

WOMAN (37) JUMPS IN FRONT OF TRAIN

Did you email this to the police,
yesterday?

I only got it this morning.

[monitor beeping]

[mysterious music plays]

WELCOME TO RESIDENCE 'DE HEIDE'

[short laugh]

Is this him?

What do you think?

Could it be him?

Have a good look.
Have you ever seen him before?

No.

[man] Why are you taking
all these books, Mom?

Pack them up.

You'll have to throw some out.

I haven't got that many boxes.

You've sold the house after all?

[woman] Yes.

My friend has been begging me
to join her for ages.

She's in a nursing home.

She's well taken care of.

So...

It's not safe here anymore
for someone my age.

Did you get a good offer?

[woman chuckles]

[woman] I've been getting those for ages.

They're building a new development.

My house is in the way.

And who's the lucky one?

-The buyer?
-Yes.

Hang on, what's his name...

Alain, what's
the estate agent's name again?

Degroof?

-Degraeve?
-Degraeve, yes?

-Georges Degraeve?
-Yes, that's him.

-[Peter] Degraeve Estate Agents.
-Georges Degraeve, yes.

He's been trying to convince me
for over a year now.

And his offer just kept increasing.

[Peter] Well...

This is a new chapter for your mom.

It must be hard for you.

To realize your parents can't cope
on their own anymore.

Yeah, it is.

She's had a good life. She can't complain.

Did you grow up here?

[Alain] Mm-hmm.

Don't you want to live here yourself then?

With the money we're getting for it,
we could buy three such houses.

Oh, right.

We.

I mean, my mother.

How long have you known
about the estate agent's offer?

I don't have to answer that.

No, that's true.

You're not obliged to answer that.

Alright then.

Oh, I was wondering.
Maybe I should have asked you.

Whether you know him.

[Alain] Who?

[Peter] Gino.

No, I don't know a Gino.

What does it mean if her eyes are open?

[Mr. Degraeve] They don't know yet.

It could be a reflex.

They're looking into it.

All we can do now, is wait. Wait.

Mom?

[soft sobbing]

[Schatteman] These are obviously
false accusations by...

Well...

A mentally unstable woman
who is seeking attention.

[reporter] Are you still running
for Vice-Chancellor?

I have been asked

to withdraw my candidacy
until the lies have been disproved.

I have complied with deep regret,

because I don't want to put
this glorious university in bad light.

[reporter] You're still lecturing.
Aren't your students...

Mozes.

I think so, too, but...

Apparently,
my opinion doesn't count anymore.

[Peter] Oh?

Tony?

He's upstairs.

He'll solve it all on his own.

Interrogation room?

Yes, please.

Let's go.

[muffled heavy bass music plays]

[eerie music plays]

[cell phone beeps]

ANONYMOUS
FILTHY RAPIST

[car unlocks]

[Schatteman] No, wait.

I knew it.

The saintly Jos Schatteman.

[quiet sobbing]

You were gone for a whole year.

I was looking forward to you coming back.

[Peter]
It sounds like I've disappointed you.

You have.

I see you walking around and I think,
is that it?

[Peter] Yeah.

What are you trying to say?

I don't know.

Seeing you here...

makes it all a little...

more painful, I guess.

You know, I...

I see you at work, you're in your element,

you go into the field...

You're doing what you were born to do.

What I was born to do, too,
but... you know.

-Paulien...
-No, let me have a rant.

I can't always be Little Miss Sunshine.
I'm fed up with it.

Those days when we used to work
in the field together,

those were, for me at least...

Everyone has a time in their lives
about which they can say...

"That's when I was happy.

Really happy."

I had the job I loved
and I was who I was born to be.

Don't you think
you're romanticizing those years a bit?

Just leave me be, OK?

I was going mad by the end.

Because of me?

[laughs] Of course not.

No.

Because of everything else.

What did we actually achieve?

I ran myself into the ground.

I destroyed my family in the process.

And what for?

[in English]
Making the world a better place?

[in Dutch] Oh, come on. I don't think so.

We might arrest
a poor beggar now and then,

but making the world a better place?

That's not happening.

Not by being a cop.

The biggest bastards always get away.

OK, but thanks to us,
there's a few less bastards out there.

I think you're a hero.

No, that's not true.

I think we are heroes.

I'm no hero, Paulien.

[Peter chuckles]

I'm a bastard myself.

Peter, that's not true.

It is.

I lied, Paulien.

-What about?
-[knock on door]

Mr. Devriendt, I...

I would like to talk to you.

[Schatteman] Will I be arrested now?

Your crime has lapsed.
We can't do anything.

You're not just sending me home, are you?

You don't get it.

I am guilty.

I violated that commandment.

That lunatic is targeting me.
I can feel it.

My life's in danger.

If by "lunatic" you mean Mozes,

why do you think he's behind this?

Because I...

When I went
into the auditorium yesterday...

there was something written
on the blackboard.

"Abstain from words and deeds unclean."

Hang on.

-This morning, you said--
-I know what I said this morning.

I kept silent about it.

[ominous music plays]

Yeah, we can't leave him right now.

We have to inform Liesbet.

Yeah, but Liesbet is overrun
with stress today.

She's not in the right state of mind
to make decisions.

I'll put him in a hotel
and I'll stay with him.

Peter, no one's here.
Vicky is with her mom.

Shall I come and relieve you?

In about four hours' time?

Are you up for that?

No problem.

[gentle somber music plays]

[muffled crash]

[scraping glass]

Mr. Schatteman, I think it's best
if you called it a day.

The Vice-Chancellor called me.

He said he saw her on TV.

On Facebook in the morning,

on a talk show by the evening.

That's the world we live in.

Everything is fleeting.

Everything's superficial.

-[Tony] Mr. Schatteman...
-I'm finished.

[sobs]

Go to bed now.

Sure.

I'll go to bed, yes.

[mysterious music plays]

[Felix] Hey.

Are you alright?

Are you coming in?

Yeah, but does he know who I am?

Isn't that... weird?

No, come on.

SECOND FLOOR

-[Tony] Hey.
-[Peter] And?

Nothing out of the ordinary.
He's sleeping it off.

Sleeping it off?

Yes, he hit the booze.

I'll take him to the station
in the morning.

Alright. Thanks.

-[Peter] Yes.
-Have fun.

[muffled wailing]

[muffled whimpers]

[Peter knocks on door]

[Peter] Mr. Schatteman?

[quiet sob]

[eerie music plays]

Mr. Schatteman?

[quiet whimpering]

[rasping breathing]

[key fumbles in lock]
