Force (2014–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Losse Handjes - full transcript

Unexpectedly, accused criminal
Freddy van Nuenen was found not guilty.

In court, his lawyer claimed
that his client could not get a fair trial...

since van Nuenen was assaulted
by chief investigation

Detective Kamp.

I am happy that justice was done.
I was treated like an animal.

That was Freddy van Nuenen.
And the judge agreed.

Prosecutor Blok responded.

That is not true.

Our detectives do not
operate like that.

I'll vouch for that.

A smiling van Nuenen
talked to us outside.



What will I do?
I'll start by celebrating.

And I hereby invite
Theo Kamp to attend.

Van Nuenen was facing
charges ranging from...

money laundering, intimidation

and cannabis cultivation.

We disagree with the verdict,
and we are considering an appeal.

And the alleged altercation
between van Nuenen

and a detective is untrue.

Our detectives do not operate
like that. I'll vouch for that.

- Strike Force -
"A Fresh Start"

Willem Niessen.
Hey, Marcel.

In your office at 3.
Fine, I'll be there. Yep.

You have four new messages.

Received today at 9:28 a.m.



Kamp, Marcel here.

No idea where you're crashing,

but you do know why
we want to talk to you.

Maartje, look at this.

Theo Kamp did not
go looking for van Nuenen.

Kamp was investigating van Nuenen's
alleged drug trafficking.

We spoke to his lawyer,
Grotendorst, on the phone.

The Justice Department and police
should look into violence on their own...

Did you hear that?

Typical of the guys on the 4th floor;
they think they're above us.

Well, they are three floors above us.

Did you finish the uproot list?

If we don't make our quota,
we'll be the laughing stock.

Hey, Dad. It's Theo.

I think I did something really stupid.

Oh well, we'll see what happens.

The Justice Department and police
should look into....

Thanks a lot, Theo.
All the work gone to pot.

Well done.

We'll get van Nuenen
on something else.

Unless he presses charges.

No way, man.

That goes against his principles.

You need to talk to
people in their language.

I totally agree.

Marcel.

I was just talking to Blok...

...about your suspension.

Am I suspended?
-Not yet.

I blamed the Justice Department.

Good.

No, Theo. Not good at all.

I'm accused of something I didn't do,
so I did it?

But everyone thinks
I cannot control my people.

No, I can't control myself.

Start by apologizing to me.

- Sorry, Marcel.
- Now Blok.

What? No, wait. Come on.

And be convincing...

...even if you have to screw his dog.

This afternoon at 3. My office.

Marcel, please...
-3 o'clock.

What kind of dog does he have?

Hello. Is he in?

He's busy right now.
A few minutes.

You're not allowed to smoke here.

Did you have an appointment?

I have to apologize to your boss.

Josias was very annoyed with you.

Who the fuck is Josias?
Blok.

Is he called Josias? Seriously?

Sorry. Theo.

Bettina.

Not the easiest man to work for, eh?

But you know where you stand with him.

There you are.
-Yes.

Where is Stefanie?

No idea. Gone to lunch?

She should have told me.
Shall we go?

Blok?

Blok.

One minute so I can go back to work.
Marcel asked me to see you.

So this was not your own idea?

What do you want?

To offer my apologies. Sorry.

Sorry?

Do you have any idea
the damage you caused us?

The press has been here all day.

Yeah, he should've ducked. I agree.

Life is a joke to you, eh, Kamp?

Not everything about life,
but the funny things are, yeah.

You think there are
no consequences for you?

Yes, I should've thought
about the consequences for me,

for your office and for the city.

You represent the law, so...

You've heard this before,
so you know what I'm going to say.

That's right.
I apologize. I'm sorry.

Accepted.
I'll tell Marcel you stopped by.

Too bad you couldn't prove
that van Nuenen was full of shit.

Sorry?
-Apology accepted, Josias. It happens.

Thank you.

I spoke to him. Everything is okay.

He called. You apologized three times.

So, are we okay?
I see you have an appointment.

I won't keep you.

Take a seat.

Theo, Willem.
Willem, Theo.

I won't beat around the bush.
You will be partners.

You start tomorrow.

Nothing against, eh...
-Willem.

That's it.
Cannabis team, right?

Plant removal.
What would he do on our team?

Theo, you misunderstand.

Willem is not joining you.

You are going to the cannabis team,
temporarily.

We don't really need a cowboy.

Theo is going to behave
until this publicity storm blows over.

You'll find something.

I apologized, three times.

We know. That was step one.

So for how long? A few days, a week?

Six months.
-Come on.

Over in no time.

This won't work.
-Yes, forget it.

Different areas.
-What do I know about cannabis?

Different expertise.

He's right.

All that in one team.

Marcel, I'm not doing this.
-Then turn in your weapon.

Willem, what time do you start?

Nine.
-Nine o'clock.

Or don't come back at all.

What am I going to do with Kamp?
-How are your studies coming?

Fine. I'm on my last exams.
-Good. What will you do?

More responsibility.
Management?

There's a job coming up for
team chief in Breda and Roosendaal.

That's all?

It won't work with Kamp.

I'm sure you noticed.
He is a real loose cannon.

See it as management experience,
to keep him out of trouble.

So I'm to be his sitter.

Why don't you just do what I say?

It's bullshit, man.
And everyone knows it.

Just do the time.

Is the investigation over?
-No, it's ongoing.

I'm chief detective now.

Well, I guess you don't
need me anymore.

You're forgetting something.

Isn't this an illegal plant?

No, it's a cactus.

See? I could tell you had
too much stress in your aura.

I sensed it right away.

You should be by yourself for a while.

Yes, I'd like that.

It's not getting any cheaper.
-That's true.

But that is top quality,
and hard to come by at the moment.

Why do you think that is?

Big players, maybe?

Pulling it from the market?
They have loads of it.

Or the police is cracking down.

Sir.
-Madam.

Can I help you?
-I hope so.

I've been looking
for a few years now...

for a golden dog with
the head of a watering can.

But it's so hard to find.

Do you mean something like that?

No, it was a different one.

Is that what you came here for?
-No, not really.

What will it be?

I'll have an almond biscuit.

Spring cleaning?

I have nothing to wear.
Baby clothes.

It's not too bad.

Look. If you took this and...

...and wear it with...
This with this.

Why don't you wear it?

There must be something.
You can't go around naked.

Nothing left in your clothing budget?
-No.

Let's wait until the end of the month.

Okay. What's for dinner?

Shall we order pizza?
-Yes.

You smell like pot.
-What?

Pot.
-How do you know what pot smells like?

I saw it on TV.

Hello, I'd like to order two pizzas.

Willem Niessen of the cannabis team.
Listen, Theo...

tomorrow is uproot day,
and I wanted to set a time with you...

before the team meeting
to discuss a few things.

I can show you around the department.
It will take getting used to...

but I think if we both do our best...

Hey.
-Hey.

Is the line safe?
-Yes.

You're free now.
-Couldn't come to your party.

I didn't invite you, did I?

Is everything still on?
-Yes.

Okay.

Did Kamp really smash your face?

He was demoted.
-Okay, that's good.

One less problem in this world.

Next address is at an industrial park,
on the market for three years.

Rented by a Mr. Braakman
three months ago.

He is on the dole and his bank account

doesn't show that he is paying rent.

Good morning.

I had to wait for the store to open.

People, this is Theo.

He will be joining our team
for six months.

We can always use extra people.

Go on with your show and tell.

Show and tell...

Theo, we are covering
the address for today.

You can meet the team on the road.
-Great.

His energy bill shows
major discrepancies

compared to the rest of the area.

Harold did surveillance.
-Yes, pot smell. Pot smell.

Pot smell, but heat measurements
didn't detect anything.

It's probably well-insulated.

Bart, what about transportation?
-A snowmobile.

Worth 150 euros. No car.

Not much we can monetize there.

Was the seat taken?
-No.

Theo.
-I know.

The last address on the list today,

if things go according to plan, Theo:

Veenweg number nine.

Complaints about the smell.
We measured the heat.

The attic is much warmer,

so we think there's
a cannabis plantation.

It's registered to a Ms. van Lieshout.
Which reminds me:

When we go in, take all of the people
out of the houses.

We don't want another Detta family.

Pricked themselves on a plant?

No, they are dead, Theo.

Maartje, did you have something?

Be aware: the shredder works well.

It gets rid of all the plants.

However, keep it hidden.

People love to take pictures.

Great. Here's the address list.

Pass them out so everyone
knows the order.

We're going in this one.

Off to arrest conifers?
-Yeah, right.

No, it's uproot day. You?
-Hold-ups.

Theo, coming?
-Yes.

So, Theo, tell me.
What do you think about it?

I think the work could be
quite interesting.

Do you like jokes?

Jokes? Yes.
-You are?

Johnny walks into the bathroom.

His mother took a shower,
so she's naked.

She covers her crotch, and
Johnny asks "what do you have there?"

"A little bird," his mother replies.

He says,
"careful he doesn't peck your twat."

Good one. I have to remember it.

Johnny is in the shower.

No...

Will you take the back?

Mr. Hesselink?
Willem Niessen, cannabis team.

We have a search warrant.
You have a plantation?

No.
-Still, we'd like to take a look.

Let's go.

Look, this says it all.

They are tapping electricity.
Very dangerous.

Right, Sir?

Madam.

Wait here, please.

Coming?

How much do you think? 25, 30 plants?
-Thirty.

Harvest of four or five?
-Yes. Five.

30 plants times 28.2
grams is 846 grams.

Total street value is 846 times

3.28 euros, which is 2774.88 euros.

Times 5, and a little shed like this
is worth 13,874.40 euros.

My calculations exactly.

Coming?

And that is what your fine will be.

Where would I get that kind of money?

You should have thought of that.

Why did you say yes?

Never say yes to whom?

Who do you work for?
-Questioning is done at the station.

Come with us, Mr. Hesselink.
-For how long?

No more than three days.

You can cut the power now.

You're cutting the power?
-Are these your car keys, Madam?

How will I hear the baby monitor?

You are ruining my family.

Calm down, or we'll take you in too,
and you can find a babysitter.

No thanks.

Great. Thanks a lot, man.

No, that's all right. Bye.

Awesome.

Harold, did you stop by that
coffee shop?

Yes, prices have gone up.

Here!

Yes, I thought so.

Do our efforts really have an effect?

There's something else going on.

I think that...

Okay, that bodes well.

He'll be put down, eh?

Animal Welfare, please.

Open that door.
-Seriously?

Jeffrey, door, please?

We have a problem here.
Could you send someone?

Down.

Willem, coming?
-Nevermind.

Police. Show yourself.
-Police.

Didn't you hear your doorbell?

What the hell are you doing in here?

Stay with him, please.

Who planted your plantation?
-What plantation?

Found it.

Get the hell out of here.

You're coming with us, so talk.

I'm not going anywhere. Are you...

My back.

Who planted this plantation here?

I did, okay?
-Prick. Who?

You're hurting my hand. Let me go.

Hey, take your hands off my mother.

And I didn't even introduce myself.
Hello, I'm Theo Kamp.

Don't, you prick.

Then who planted it?

Kamp.
Can we talk?

We don't work like that.

There has to be an easier way.

Intimidation will get you nowhere.

So now what? You book him,
which takes three hours.

He thinks up a story
and starts over in another house.

We empty those houses publicly for
everyone to see that it doesn't pay.

And? It's working, is it?

If you had come on time,
you'd know how we work.

You'd know that there are people
who tap power illegally,

which can burn down a whole block
and children die.

But you want to make the front page
with van Nuenen's scalp.

Give me a break.

We try to protect people.

I like working from the top down.

Then turn it around.

If you're not careful, you'll be
writing parking tickets next.

Bunch of freaking Nazis.

Good afternoon. I'm a detective.

May I come in, please?

Let's take the ring road.
Anyone seen Kamp?

He left a while ago.
-What?

He took the uproot list.

You told him to start from the bottom.

Are you Ms. van Lieshout?
-You can call me Loes.

Loes. I suspect you have
a grass plantation here.

Is that right?

Hey. Max,
go play in the garden for a bit.

Hi, Max.

I'm Theo. Hi.
-I'm Max.

Want to help me find some treasure?

Upstairs.

Everything seems to be in order.

Have a nice day.

What?

Pardon the intrusion. I'll have
this address taken off the list.

See you, Max.
-Bye.

Police.

I have a few questions for you.

Oh dear, oh dear. Coffee?

No, thank you.

This is not a nice
neighborhood anymore.

I've been living here for so long.
I can see it deteriorating.

Do you know who's to blame?

Coffee?
-No, thank you.

Belgians.
-Belgians?

They cross the border
and steal everything in sight.

Last Christmas, I had wreath
on the door. Gone.

Ms. Buitenkamp,
that house across the street...

Loes, yes.
Did they break in over there?

What? No.

I'm the only one who
keeps an eye on things around here.

Of course, I can't see everything.
You know?

No, I understand. She's in trouble.
-Oh dear.

Her ex is threatening her.
-Really? Well, I'll be.

Loes? I didn't know she had a partner.

She's quite upset,
so she asked us to help her.

But it's a secret. No one can know.
-No, of course not.

But then I saw you and...
let me ask you something.

Do you see people
or suspicious things...

It happens, yes.
I've seen men go inside.

Unsavory types. Several of them.

I don't know who the partner is.

But you can tell they're no good.

Well, it is important.

If you see more
comings and goings there,

would you call me at this number?

Comings and goings. Yes.

Definitely. Will do.

One more address: Ms. van Lieshout.
Around the corner.

I was just there. Can I talk to you?
-So you're back.

Next time you take off,
you ask me first. Is that clear?

All right, Loes van Lieshout.

I told you, I was just there.
False alarm.

How come?

Three tanning beds in the attic.
Hence the high energy bill.

Theo Kamp.
-Mrs. Buitenkamp here.

Do you see anything?
-I wanted to check this number.

Yes, this is the right number.
-Good.

Tanning beds?
-Yes, very pale people.

Let's make sure.
-So you don't trust me?

Okay. People, that's it for today.

Let's go for a drink. Theo is buying.

What, no paper shift today?

You're right. Let's go.

Lucky you.

Paper shift.

Is that as bad as it sounds?

Worse.

Theo. Coming?

So... three tanning beds, eh?

Yeah.

Are you angry?
-No, I enjoy new workmates.

I thought you were angry.

We just need to
get used to each other.

Maybe we should, I don't know,
spend some time in the Ardennes.

I don't think our schedules
will allow...

Oh, it is a...
-It's a joke, Willem, yes.

Is this a safe line?
-Yes, what's up?

Kamp is acting strange.

That detective demoted
to the cannabis team.

I just got a tip.

He visited a lady who
has our stuff in the attic.

He didn't touch it.
Something is not right.

Shit. I don't need that right now.

I want to know what's going on.

I understand.

I'll talk to her.
I'll send someone around.

Okay.

Will you watch yourself in the office?

What do you mean?

I saw you looking at Maartje.

I can look, can't I?

There is a hunter...
-Where?

No, this hunter has a wife,

and she packs his bag every morning.

Okay. Can't he do it himself?

She packs his lunch, his bullets...

His bullets?

No, she packs the bag... Wait.

The hunter is in the woods
and sees a buck.

Whose?

Whose? No, a buck, as in deer.

Oh, I thought you said "butt,"
with two cheeks...

Forget it.

Hello.
-Are you alone?

I heard you were paid a visit.
-What do you mean?

The police came over, but I didn't...
-Are you at home?

Yes, I'm home.

Stay there. Don't leave.

But I really didn't say anything,
and he...

Theo, that's your desk.

I have some files for you to read.

Your login code. Good luck.

Theo here.
Mrs. Buitenkamp?

A fast scooter in the street.
-A fast scooter?

Well, it...

But what do you...

Yeah.

Mrs. Buit... Mrs. Buitenkamp.

Mrs. Buitenkamp, I have
a fast scooter.

Willem Niessen?

Of course we'll catch him. Sure.
-What?

You too. Have a nice evening.

I'll be right there.

I'll see you tomorrow, people.

Nice guy.
-Willem? Willem is okay.

Goes by the book, doesn't he?

You didn't beat anyone today yet.

Good afternoon.
-Thank you for coming.

How many did she take?
-Three, pretty expensive ones.

Did you call the police?

Aren't you with the police?
-Yes, but she's family.

I'm not allowed to take this on.

But you want me to call the police?

Yes, of course.
-What?

Sorry, Tess.
I can't make an exception for you.

Absolutely not.

You should have thought of that.

No clothing budget for two months.

Why don't you talk to your daughter?

He is not my father.

Why don't you wait in the car.

It's been happening more often,
especially girls her age.

And you call the police?

Yes, but they come in groups.

This is different.
-I can't tell.

Tell us about that.
Hey, Theo, about the...

Theo, so you hit van Nuenen
right in...

No, it was wildly exaggerated.
I didn't.

But you walked in there and...

No, not like that. All I did was this.

I thought you'd duck... that you'd...

Sorry.
-Don't worry about it.

Are you all right?

I think all she needs
is some advice...

...from a woman.

That's possible.

Do you want the shoplifter to pay?

No, it's quite all right.

Is that them?
-Yes.

Would you put them in a bag, please?

Tess, there's leftover
pizza in the fridge.

So I drag the 30 guys
behind me in that tunnel...

Sorry, I have to take this.

Mrs. Buitenkamp.
-Someone is visiting Loes.

What did you see?
-Face like a rat. Not very nice.

Loes was startled when she saw him.

I'll be there.
Call me if anything changes.

Okay, so you two come out...
-I have to go.

I'll see you tomorrow.

I will need a statement from you.

I can tell you myself.

You need to explain.
-I had a plan.

Just do your job.
-It is my job, remember?

Max is sleeping.

Who planted this?

Not here, Kamp.
-Just let her talk.

How did you get this?

I bought the house
and lost my job soon after.

I had nothing left.

I had to take care of my son.

With a plantation? Good thinking.

Knock it off.

I was offered extra cash.

A week later, this was installed.

What's his name?

Loes, just tell me the name
of the ma...

Mrs. Buitenkamp, it's ok.

Someone is coming.

False alarm. Sleep well.

He's going in.
-What?

Loes?
-It's him.

He called me this afternoon.
-Okay, go downstairs.

Talk to him,
and ask him why he's here.

Loes, are you home?

Please?

I'll be right there.

When he comes upstairs to check,
we take him.

What?

Did you show him upstairs?

Did he come back?

Hey, uprooting can be
pretty exciting, eh?

Loes?

Shit!

Mrs. Buitenkamp, do you know Max
from across the street?

Would you keep an eye on him?

Mrs. Buitenkamp,
I have to hang up now.

If anything happens to them,
it's your fault.

Yeah, yeah.

Did you get the license plate?

Do you wear these under your clothes?

Yes, this is 11...
-1137.

1137, Kamp and Niessen
in pursuit of a silver BMW

behind Central Station.

Registration unknown.
Possible kidnapping.

Yes, we need backup. Yes.

Eight minutes.

Don't tell me you lost him.

There. Slow down. Not too close.
-Yeah, yeah.

Just slow down. Turn off the lights.

Okay, keep driving. Come on.

So who is that, then?
-No idea.

Come on, let's go.
-No, we wait here.

No way I'm waiting.

Don't be a hero.

She's my responsibility, right?

Cover me.

Goddamn it.

Fuck, turn them off.

Drop your weapon.

Fuck!

Fuck!

Who shot at me?
-Had an exciting night, eh?

Yes, we got shot at too.
-None of our business.

You're not on the fourth floor.

Look, that's you.

You look cool.
-Really?

Are all your sisters as cute as you?

Did he handle it correctly?

We all know Kamp
as a very eager colleague.

You work under me. Understand?

We work side-by-side.
-Really? I haven't noticed.

You put my life at risk.

And stop worrying about that cop,
okay?

I'll take care of him.
