De Dag (2018): Season 1, Episode 5 - Episode #1.5 - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY

In a regional branch
of the Fides Bank,

a hostage situation has been
under way since 8 a.m.

This is your fault.

Few people know what's in that safe.

I thought it had been empty for years.

Vos, what do you think?
Ibrahim wants to offer 75,000.

No, we're not giving them any money.

You need to see this.
They're broadcasting everything.

You're not allowed to show the bank.

If you do, I'll have your equipment
seized. Is that clear enough?



- Karen, I need you.
- Michael needs you now, not me.

The slower we work,
the more time it will buy us.

Come on, pal, turn it off.

- I want to disconnect them.
- Disconnect them?

Three, two, one.

Fucking hell!

Can you hear that?
That's my pistol against the girl's head!

I'll kill her, pal, I mean it! You've got
60 seconds to turn the water back on.

- Vos says she thinks those guys...
- I know. But she's not with it today.

You were obliged to report that
your father is very ill in hospital.

I'm taking you off the case.
Go and see your father.

I think I know why
we have to do all the work.

Those men aren't here at all.

- We need to talk.
- Yes, I think we do.



- Thibault to Ivo.
- I'm listening.

We're through the wall.
We can film inside the bank. Over.

Okay, that's fine.
Now at least we can see something.

Sierra 3,
can you keep the image stable?

Marc, can you put someone
here permanently?

If anything happens, even a light
going on, I want to know.

Okay. Fred, you heard that.

Now what? Drill somewhere else?
The top floor?

I want to know what's there first.

Andrea hasn't been there for years
but she says it's changed.

There must be someone else
who can tell us.

Yes, that Inge. But we still
don't know where she is.

Roeland, you're taking my place.

- What about you?
- I've been taken off the case.

Vos...

That wasn't my intention.

Go on, answer.

- Hello?
- Okay, Bram, listen.

When the helicopter lands,
I want to count the money first.

I'll let everyone go after that.

Except for the manager.

If I see that we're being followed

or something is wrong with the money
or the helicopter,

I'll shoot him.

- Do you hear me?
- Okay, sir. I heard your question.

But the problem is that...

we can hardly give you that money
and let you leave...

Honestly, pal. Will you carry on
being difficult or what?

Look, I still want to find a solution
and I think you do too but...

the thing is...

Permission to land
hasn't been confirmed.

That's it, pal! No more excuses.

I expect a helicopter here
with a million euros in it.

Okay? Full stop.

Okay, sir. But if you could
release Noor...

Hey, are your ears working?

The money and a helicopter first.
Then I will let people go.

And don't bother offering me
75,000 euros or whatever.

I want a million,
and not a cent less.

We're going to have to
handle it better next time.

Yes.

SIS

- Hi.
- Hi, Ellen. Is this a bad time?

No, no, hold on.
I'll just go outside. He's asleep.

0K.

- Right, go ahead.
- Yeah, sorry.

Everything has changed again.
I'm on my way to the hospital.

I think I can come and take over
from you after all.

Oh, good.
Oh, I'm so pleased.

I haven 't followed the news.
Did it end okay?

No, it's not over yet.
I'll explain when I see you.

How's Dad?

Ellen?

Not good.

In what way?

He's going downhill fast,
faster than expected.

- Are you still there?
- Yes, yes. Can I see him?

I've pulled over.

- Okay. I'll skype you.
- Okay.

Hi, Ellen.

- H/I Can you see me?
- Hold on, not yet.

- I can now.
- Try not to be alarmed.

He looks worse than yesterday.

Hold on, I'll just go outside
for a moment.

Did the doctor say anything more?

That he's not going to improve.
But we already knew that.

They think it's a matter of days.

Are you okay?

Okay. Okay, guys.
The situation now.

What about the offender?
Roeland?

Some already know,

but there's been a slight change
in the negotiating team.

Roeland is replacing Vos.
Roeland?

Our offender is extremely nervous.
Quick to anger.

The chance of him losing
his patience is quite high.

In any case, the only good result
is a negotiated surrender.

But, in case things get out of hand,

we have to prepare
to storm the place.

- As a final option.
- And? ls there any news?

We're constantly promised
we'll be kept informed but we aren't,

so I thought I'd come and ask.

- Excuse me, Mr Van Landschoot.
- Or must I buy tomorrow's paper?

Sir, madam,
you really shouldn't just...

- Tell us something, please.
- Then I wouldn't have to.

- I'll tell you what I can.
- Yeah...

Can't we put someone
with the relatives?

We have, but they need the toilet
or they go outside for a smoke...

That's as may be,
but they can't come here.

They can go home if it suits them.
As long as we can reach them.

- I'll go and tell them.
- Okay, let's continue.

Sometimes it's in everyone's interest
not to tell you things.

- I understand...
- No, you don't. You can't.

Is your daughter in there?

I repeat, do those men in there

know there's a ransom
ready for them, yes or no?

- Our people know.
- I didn't ask that.

I asked if the men in there know.

I can't tell you anything about that.

You can't tell me anything
about that.

At least tell me if it's true
they've asked for a helicopter.

- Who told you that?
- Is it true or not?

I'd like to know
who told you that.

I can't tell you anything about that.

FILL UP AND WIN!
10,000, 25,000, 75,000 euros

Mr Van Landschoot,
a quick reaction, please.

Let me tell you
what t think of the police.

We realise they can't tell us
all the details

but we're not being told anything.

No, we know nothing.

Are you angry about communication
between the police and relatives?

There isn't any. No communication,
let alone us having any input.

We are prepared to pay a ransom

to ensure our daughter
and the others are released.

But they won'! even listen to us.
Sorry, but I think it's disgrace!

- There's no other word for it.
- Absolutely.

Thank you, thank you.

Those guys are quick.

As you heard,

dissatisfaction with the police
is considerable.

They werenT the only ones
who said this.

We heard the same thing
from various other relatives.

Okay. Thank you, Kristien.
The reaction was...

- Not good publicity for the police.
- The least of my worries.

What will those men in the bank think
if they see that?

We try to delay,
saying we can't get the money,

then someone says he wants to pay
and we won't let him.

I'll ask for it to be removed
from the site.

But if we don't tell them anything,
they'll continue to poke around.

The news sites call them terrorists
and on Twitter they're Chechens.

I think we need to hold
a media briefing.

That's a not a bad idea.
I get lots of questions too.

I don't think it's a good idea.
The media say what they like anyway.

I'm inclined to be even stricter.

That guy knew those men
had asked for a helicopter.

I don't know what idiot leaked that.

Excuse me,
but we need to distinguish

between what we tell the media
and what we tell the relatives.

Don't we?

Come on, get a move on.

Yeah, yeah.

Come on Ivo, answer.

Ivo De Rouck.

lvo, when you hear this,
call me back.

Separate Ibrahim and Roeland.

I think we've got a mole.

- You don't mind, do you?
- No.

I'm so used to sitting here,
so if it's all the same to you...

- Yeah, it's fine.
- Okay, um...

What are we going to do
from now on?

I don't know.

Tell me what you think.

Maybe we should adopt
a firmer approach.

Yes, that's not a bad idea.

But make sure
you control the conversation

and he doesn't take over.

0K.

Ivo to Roeland.
Can you come here a moment?

Yes, Ivo. I'm on my way.

- Let me know if he calls or anything.
- All right.

Six teams of two men.

Lima 1, 2 and 3, ground floor.
Lima 4, 5 and 6, first floor.

You can open any locked ordinary
inside doors with the master key.

Okay, you can go.

- Ivo?
- Roeland, oh yes.

We wanted to know
what you thought.

We're going to burn
the back door oh'.

- Burn it off?
- Yes.

Why?
Why would you do that?

So we can enter unnoticed
rather than blow a door or window.

We don't have that option now.

- It's very risky.
- We know.

What if they hear
or smell something?

No movement has been
seen in the hallway.

So I don't think they'll notice.

- What if they do?
- Think of something.

Arrange something with Ibrahim.

Okay-

Sierra 1 to perimeter.
We 're here.

- Can the screens be opened?
- Copy, Sierra 1.

Thibault to Ivo,
the metal of the door is very thick.

This may take a while.

Okay, Thibault. Do your best.

Just to be sure, shouldn't we...

lvo, can I speak to you a moment?

- What are you doing here?
- It's urgent, it really is.

Sorry.

- Didn't you hear my message?
- I sent you home, Vos.

That amount, the 75,000.
He heard that amount from Ibrahim.

Calm down.
What are you saying?

Just now, just before I left,

I followed a conversation
with the offender.

He told Ibrahim
he wanted a million

and we shouldn't offer
75,000 euros.

- Yes, and'?
- We never...

We never said anything to him
on the phone about 75,000 euros.

That was what Ibrahim suggested
giving them to release Noor.

Half of the 150,000
the bank wanted to give.

So I don't know where he got
that amount from.

Could it be a coincidence,
a random number?

Then you'd say a round number.
"Don't offer me 50,000 or 100,000.?

75,000 is so specific.

And you're sure that amount
wasn't mentioned on the phone?

Ivo, only three people
discussed that amount.

Roeland, Ibrahim and me.

Where were you'?

Having a smoke.

- No call yet?
- No. What did lvo say?

- They're burning the back door off.
- What?

- In case they have to storm the place.
- Are they planning to'?

Only if necessary.

Burning it off will take a while,

so next time he calls, we have to
make sure we delay things.

We also have to think about
our reaction if he...

- Bram speaking.
- Why did you lie to me?

- What do you mean?
- You tell me you can't get any money

and I hear Freya's father on TV
saying you won't let him give it to us.

- I said the time frame is difficult but...
- I don't care if it's difficult.

That money will be here
at the agreed time.

And if you even think
of storming the bank,

if even one cop
comes near that garage,

I'll blow the whole place up.
Do you understand?

Okay, but...

- Roeland, can you come with me?
- What's the matter?

- Are you carrying a gun?
- No.

- Phone?
- Yes, but...

Give it to me.

Come on.

- What's going on?
- I'll explain inside.

And this is the end.

You've watched the past 72 hours?
Written everything down?

- Everyone who goes in and out.
- It's all in here.

- Didn't see anything unusual?
- No.

- They didn't case the place.
- At least not in the past 72 hours.

Unless we missed something.

Okay, I'll go through it again.

You're sure that's the only one?
You've checked?

It is, according to the database
of the Privacy Commission.

There's only one camera
in the whole square.

People feel too safe in this town,
apparently.

Don't think that'll be a problem
after today.

The money and a helicopter first.
Then I will let people go.

And don't bother offering me
75,000 euros or whatever.

I want a million, and not a cent less.

He mentions 75,000 euros.

Vos says that amount
was never mentioned on the phone,

just among you three.

Okay.

Maybe it leaked
via the bank or the media?

No amounts have appeared
in the media.

And the bank suggested 150,000.
The 75,000 came from Ibrahim.

You don't think Ibrahim
is linked to them?

It has to be one of the three of us,
Roeland.

Vos says that this morning
you insisted

on being allowed to negotiate again.

Ivo, look me in the eye and tell me
you believe what you are insinuating.

Answer it.
It may be them.

Seeing as we're busy
accusing each other.

There's a hostage situation
and this is my first time.

- Do I have to do it on my own?
- Ibrahim, can you come with us?

Roeland will take over.

- Hold on a moment.
- What's the matter?

I think we'll delay answering it again.

Let it ring.

I think we need to discuss things again,
all of us.

Who's going to stay by the phone?

OFFENDERS CAN HEAR US

They heard everything.

- Marnix, is Skype on your phone?
- Yes.

Skype me.

That's different from when they call.

- Yes, it moves. The background moves.
- When they call, the circle doesn't move.

- Seriously?
- Okay, so?

Fuck, those guys simply cloned
the whole user interface.

So that's why I couldn't get into it.

We've been thinking
they're calling us via Skype

but they created a program
that resembles it to listen in.

Wait. That phone has been
turned inside-out twice

and we've only just
found a bug in it?

There isn't a bug in it,
it's the program.

If we hang up,
we think the call has ended

but our microphone remains open.

- True? Or not?
- Yeah, technically perfectly possible.

So they heard everything you said?

Hold on.
If they heard everything,

why didn't they know we were going
to cut the electricity and water?

I think we discussed that outside
when Marnix was looking at the phone.

But... if the microphone is open,
is the camera on too?

On the other side.

Okay, here.

It's here. Stop, stop.

MUNICIPAL SWIMMING POOL

Arne to Marc.

Can you trace the owner of
the municipal swimming pool?

- Who sits where?
- You sit where you first sat.

You two go in first.
I'll come in with the news.

He said he didn't want
any cops near the place

but I wonder if it's a good idea
to withdraw everyone.

Right. I'll tell them.

Well?

They've decided to call off
the plan to storm the bank.

They're not going to.

Are they keeping
the intervention teams nearby?

No, everyone away from the bank,
as they asked.

Do you know if the Benelux
crisis situation exercise

has been moved or cancelled?

Moved, I think.

The Dutch had some European
summit or other in The Hague

and the special teams
had to be on standby there.

So what's it like,
an exercise like that?

Last time it was more of a congress
than an exercise.

All very theoretical.
Although it was very useful.

- Hello?
- I've just looked outside.

I think we've got a problem.

Why?

The deadline has passed
and that helicopter still isn't here.

Sir, I explained just now
that it isn't...

Hello?

- Hello, sir...
- Hello, can you hear me?

- Yes, can you hear me, sir?
- I can't hear hear you.

Can you check the signal
on that mobile?

- Hello? We've got a signal.
- Now I hear you. That's better.

- Did you hear my question?
- Yes, we heard your question.

Excuse me.

Take everything with you
and put it in the back of the van.

Marc. Did you get hold of
the swimming pool owner?

Yes, he was already here.
He's in the crowd.

- His name is Stefaan Op de Beeck.
- Where? Which one?

- The man they're interviewing.
- Okay, thanks.

Excuse me.

Mr Op de Beeck? My colleague said
I could speak to you?

Excuse me,
we're talking to this man.

I think my job
is a bit more important.

That may be so, Arne,
but you can ask nicely.

May I borrow this gentleman?
Thank you.

Can you come with me?
This way.

How do you know his name?

Kristien.

How do you know
that cop's name?

Sir, I just explained
why it's so difficult, okay?

They are conferring

but arranging a helicopter for you
isn't something they'll readily agree to.

You need more time,
or what's the problem?

Yes, more time would help.
But it's also...

Okay. I'll give you more time.
But you'd better deliver, pal.

It's not just a matter of time.

It's also because you're planning
to take hostages with you.

They can't accept that.

Hey, I'm the one who determines
what happens, okay?

If I let my hostages go,
you'll do whatever you want.

I'm keeping one. The rest are yours.
I'm already giving you that.

Have a seat.

- You own the swimming pool?
- l lease it.

- Lease it?
- The council owns it.

Is the camera on the facade
yours or the council's?

- There isn't a camera.
- Cut the crap. it's hidden in the alarm.

It's not on the database,
so there's no permit for it.

Seriously? Have you really
nothing better to do?

We'd like to see the images...

My previous camera
had its permit withdrawn

because it supposedly covered
too much of the street.

"Invasion of privacy does not
relate to need.? Can you believe it?

Guys smashing my window and
robbing the till, twice in three years.

My yard full of graffiti.
None of that matters.

- But if you film their faces...
- Sir, I'm not interested in any of that.

I just want to know if your camera
was on this morning

and if I can see the images.

Can you guarantee
I won't get into trouble?

No. But I can guarantee you will
if you don't cooperate.

Thibault to Ivo,
we've finished the door.

Okay, Thibault,
try and see if it's loose.

Copy.

Okay, good to go. Put it back.

They must have heard that.

Ivo. That Inge is here.

- User name?
- Stefaan Op de Beeck. In one word.

Stefaan... F, double A.
Beeck with C K.

- Password?
- Password.

- You do know your password?
- Yes, password.

- From what time?
- Everything before 9 a.m., please.

So that wall is correct?
But the rooms behind it are empty?

- Yes. Are they upstairs or...
- We don't know.

And this door,
is it open or locked?

Inge?

Open. I think.

Okay.
Then I know enough for now.

I have to ask you where
you've been the past few hours.

- On the coast.
- Yes, so you said,

but can anyone confirm that?

No.

Did you have anything to eat
or drink there?

Okay. Thank you.

- You can scan that.
- Okay, fine.

- And?
- She was on the coast.

Her phone was turned off.
They're checking it.

You're joking!

Whether more are being held hostage.

The relatives of those definitely known
to have been taken

can only wait in fear in the meantime.

For those who have just joined us,
I'll quickly summarise what...

- How the hell did they find out?
- Facebook, lnstagram, I don't know.

You need to see this.

Hi, Ellen.
Sorry, but I was a bit too hasty.

I won't be able to leave yet.
Things are complicated here.

I know.

Vos, we have to go to lvo.
It's urgent.

Ellen, I have to go,
but I'll call you back later, okay?

Okay, speak to you later. Bye.

What was it? Op de Beeck?
Stefaan Op de Beeck.

What's the matter?

- Where are the images from?
- A camera at the swimming pool.

Look. Just after 7...
See this van here?

Someone gets out
and covers that camera.

Goes to the bank.

And here he leaves the mobile.

- Any better images of the number plate?
- No. Too blurry.

Then he gets back in.
He parks.

Then someone arrives
at ten to eight.

- That's Walter.
- Yes.

Nothing happens.
Walter opens the garage door.

Walter goes inside.
Now watch.

There. They drive in.

Jesus Christ.

- But it's not there any more?
- No, it's not.

Yes, but hold on.

Then nothing happens for a while.

Then two more arrive.
That's Serge and Michael.

That's Inge, by the way.
She drives oh' again.

Go ahead, Mamba.

Freya arrives a bit later.
Shortly afterwards, the two children.

There. Now watch carefully.

- There.
- It drives out again?

Yes.

So at least one of
the offenders left.

Or all of them.

What?

Yeah, I... I can't imagine
that only one drives away

and the rest voluntarily
let themselves be surrounded.

The whole thing has been planned
down to the last detail.

They left a mobile.
They anticipated that too.

They knew the police
would arrive in no time and...

they know we wouldn't let them go.

A hostage situation
with no hostage-takers

isn't a hostage situation.

If they aren't there, why ask
for a ransom? A helicopter?

To make us believe...

They are there. Those voices
for the pizza delivery...

I'd like my people to be able
to say what they think too.

We're all working together on this.

Why didn't they release Basil
themselves?

The child had to free himself
and then went to the door by himself.

I think Vos is right.

In most hostage situations,

the hostage-taker gets
more and more nervous

because he realises
he won't get away.

In this case, it's the reverse.

It's as if he himself is constantly
pushing the deadline back.

I'm not certain,

but I wouldn't be surprised
if they were no longer there.

In theory, we can go in.

Then we'll know for sure.

Okay. Attention.
lvo to all teams.

Stand by for entry.

Lima, go in quietly.
Try not to use violence.

Only shoot if you're shot at
or the hostages are in danger.

Lima 1 and 2, let me know
when you're in position.

- Lima to Ivo, in position. Over.
- Okay, go ahead when you're ready.

Go!

- Lima in position. Stand by for action.
- Okay, Lima.

Delta, what is the status
of the jammer?

Delta to lvo. Jammer is on.
We're trying to block all frequencies.

Okay, Delta. Thanks.
Ivo to all teams.

Lima is about to enter the bank.
Radio silence until update.

Lima, go.

- Lima 1 to lvo.
- Yes, Lima 1?

Ground floor offices clear.
Waiting for a go for the counter.

Okay, Lima 1. Go to the counter,
but not the basement or the first floor.

Lima 2 and 3, stay in position.

Go, go.

That button there.

- Go, go.
- Okay, right.

Lima 1 to lvo. One victim safe.
We're taking him outside.

- Okay, Lima 1. Who is it?
- Micha?l.

Over there, over there.

Michael, sit down. Let them help
with that thing around your neck.

I want to know everything
Micha?l knows, quickly.

Lima 2, clear the basement.

I'll ask you a few questions.
Where are the hostage-takers?

- Are they downstairs, upstairs?
- I don't know. They may be...

- They may be upstairs, we're not sure.
- Who's we? Freya and someone else?

- Stay with me. Who else is in the bank?
- Lie down, relax. Relax.

Just Freya. Freya is downstairs
in the archives.

The rest, I don't know.

- Is one of the offenders with Freya?
- No, she's alone, but they can see us.

What, they can...
Guys, stop.

A phone with a camera
and a speaker.

Phone, camera and speaker.
They can hear and see everything.

God damn it.
lvo to Lima 1, 2 and 3.

Stay where you are.
We need to confer here.

What do we do now?

Ivo to Lima 1, 2 and 3,
we're going for blackout.

Okay, Lima.
Blackout on 3, 2, 1...

- Hello?
- What are you up to?

- Are you fucking with us?
- Hey, hold on.

- What do you mean?
- You know damn well what I mean!

What's up with him
all of a sudden?

Why is he so angry?

I've no idea.

- Oh, no. Shit!
- What?
