Undercover (2019–…): Season 3, Episode 3 - Trust Issues - full transcript

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

TWO YEARS AGO

Shit. I have to go.

What's wrong?

The Somalis have changed the location.

Maybe you shouldn't go.
We don't really do cigarettes, anyway.

Honey, we've talked about this.

I got this stuff almost for free
in Istanbul. It's too good to pass up.

But we don't know these Somalis.
We don't know if they can be trusted.

And now they've changed the location.
I have a bad feeling about this.

You're beautiful when you worry,
you know that?



It'll be okay.

We just have to put the container
on a truck to England

and we'll get a million and a half.

Alright, but be careful.

You know me.

A million and a half

A million and a half

Serkan, brother, we've been set up.
This is a trap.

We have to get out of here.

- Hello?
- Leyla...

- Timur?
- Serkan is...

- What?
- We're in a very dirty game, Leyla.

How?

Serkan is seriously injured.
But he's alive.



I'm sorry, Leyla. It's very bad.

75% of our suppliers have been burned
by the raid at the Festival Shop.

This is really going to eat
into our stock.

We have enough stock for a few weeks,
so that gives us some time.

I wanted to talk to you about Bouman
and his partner.

I received a police report.

The two of them were
at the Festival Shop just before the raid.

Could be a coincidence.

Or they could be working
as police informants.

- Ferry Bouman?
- I don't know.

But I do know they lied

about their connections
with the Festival Shop.

Then let's end our collaboration
with them.

No, not yet.

Because if everything's okay,
we could really use his pills.

But we need to be 100% sure.

I know Ferry.

But I don't know Peter.

- Timur, arrange a meeting with him.
- Okay.

Hello?

So this is where the magic happens.

Far away from everything.

My buddy won't be back from New York
for another two months.

Is there running water? A drain?
Enough electricity?

We don't want this place to burn down
because the wires can't handle it.

Let's just do the test batch first,
and then we'll see.

I wouldn't count on being invited
for baklava

because you can deliver 40,000 pills.

So make sure you're ready
for the real work.

Oh, this is Lars. Lars, this is Peter.

This is the cop who put you in jail?

Must be weird.

- Is there a problem?
- Why would there be a problem?

You haven't said a word all day
and you act like a stranger.

I need to know if I can count on you.

Everything is fine.

Yusuf's body was released this morning.
It's ready for repatriation to Turkey.

May his soul rest in peace.

He deserves a final resting place at home.
And I will do what I can to help.

Our family is grateful for that.

I'll arrange the meeting.

- Can we trust that cook?
- Of course. He's Daan's brother.

Are you serious?

Daan doesn't know about it,
and Lars will keep his mouth shut.

- He will? Why?
- He promised her to stay away from drugs.

He had a few problems once,
but that's over now.

So you're putting a drug addict in our lab
to make pills. Great idea.

Do you have a better plan?
Other candidates?

Do you want to take a course
in ecstasy cooking?

Lars is the best cook I know, man.

I'll admit he's a little odd,
but he's clean. Everything will be fine.

Come on, let's unload.

Lars. The van needs to go back to Daan.

Patrick wants to see us.
There's a problem.

This is included in the report
on the raid.

Goddamnit.

They were tipped off by one of our people,
so Leyla will probably see this too.

Do you know what these Turks do with rats?

Your fucking amateurism is ruining
my reputation.

- I quit. I'm out of here.
- Hey, get back here.

- Have you forgotten about our deal?
- Our deal? Just put me back in jail, then.

- Don't worry, that can be arranged.
- Better to be in jail than dead.

What's wrong?
Is the great Ferry Bouman scared?

No, I'm not scared.

I just don't like taking
unnecessary risks. Never have.

- No?
- No. You should know that.

Don't fool yourself, man.
You need this, and so do I.

We're not quitting.

Timur.

Leyla wants to see you.
She wants to rent a warehouse from you.

That's quick.

It's a test.

So make sure you're prepared.

Let me know. See you.

Thanks for making time for me
on such short notice.

No problem.

Shall we go in?

So you rent out warehouses
all over Belgium?

If I have to.
But most are here in the harbor.

Easy to get stuff in and out quickly.
I've hardly ever had problems or checks.

That's good. No one likes problems.

That's why this warehouse is ideal.

Not because of the space,
but because of the location.

Between the wharves
and the cops' scanner.

Ideal if you want to remove
or swap something.

Some people leave a mess behind,
but don't worry.

I always make sure everything's clean
before I rent it out to new customers.

Clean is good.

So this was your childhood dream?
Cleaning up and renting out warehouses?

No. I've only been doing this
for a few years.

And before that?

I owned a company that imported
and exported natural stone, Qualistone.

But I switch to a new sector
every few years, to stay under the radar.

So if I want to store something,
you can help me with that.

No questions asked.

My clients' privacy is sacred.

I only work with people I can trust.

People who are honest with me.

I'm not looking
for short-term connections.

Neither am I.

There's something you need to know
about your deal with Ferry and me.

- There is?
- The Festival Shop.

I told you we weren't customers there,
but we did stop by there.

One of our cooks told me
about their prices.

It was very tempting.
It turned out to be too good to be true.

We went by there the next day
to make a deal, and they were closed.

So we went back to our original plan:
China.

More expensive, but safer.

You got lucky.

The police executed a raid there.

I heard.

I must have a good guardian angel.

Alright, I've heard enough.

Let me know what your price is
for this warehouse

and I'll think about it.

Thanks for the tour.

And for your honesty.

- Can we still expect a delivery?
- Ferry will be in touch with you.

I want you to check out a company.
Qualistone.

Okay.

So what did you think?

He had a good explanation.
But I still don't know if I can trust him.

What's up? I brought you breakfast.

- How are things going here?
- Twenty kilos, as requested.

We've missed you so much.

My babies.

- Well done, man.
- Thanks.

I do need the money.
They want an advance for my teeth.

- When am I getting paid?
- Patience.

You're going to make so much money,
you'll be able to afford 32 gold teeth.

You can start by making some more pills.
See you later.

See you.

Goddamnit.

Yeah, yeah.

- What?
- Where are they?

- Where are what?
- The pills you took.

What are you talking about?

Take your filthy hands off my stuff.

Those pills are at the lab,
all 40,000 of them.

- Like we agreed upon with Leyla.
- And those 4 bags you took an hour ago?

Are you fucking spying on me?

Do you really think I trust you
with four barrels of PMK, alone?

Give those pills back.

I'm not giving anything back,
and you won't find anything either.

I'm going to sell those pills
to cover my expenses.

- Expenses?
- Yes.

I have to pay for the lab, pay for Lars,
pay for this shitty house

I have to eat, I need booze
or I won't even last 5 minutes

and I have to work or I'll go back to jail

so I have to pay someone
to deal with that. What did you think?

I'm not the fucking Salvation Army.

You think I have it easy?

I really don't give a fuck.

If you guys can't or won't take care
of me, I'll do it myself.

And if you don't like it,
you can fuck right off.

What are you going to do about it?
Call the cops?

There he is.

- Twelve thousand euros?
- Make sure to count it.

All there.

Back to school, punk.

Half of that is mine.

Just sell your pills.

What will you do with it?

The same as with the other 20,000 euros?
Should I phone Patrick about that?

That's what I thought.

I'll give it back later.

Yeah, sure.

You want me to tell him we didn't need it
because we committed a robbery?

I'll give Patrick back the money
after the next big deal.

Alright, but half that envelope is mine.

That money stays in my pocket.
Don't like it? Come and get it.

I will.

- Stop it.
- Fuck you.

- Stay out of this.
- Fuck you.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. I love you.

So, how did it go with Bouman?

The pills have been delivered,
and it's good quality.

And Peter?

Mehmet did a background check on him.

The Qualistone story seems to check out.

But...?

Apparently, as soon as they were alone,
they nearly got into a fist fight.

- So?
- I told you, I'm not taking risks anymore.

I don't think we're in a position
to be picky.

If they pass the test,
we have to do business with them.

Okay.

- Is that the money for Reinhard?
- Yes.

- Be careful.
- Okay.

Yes?

Hey. Leyla's happy about the quality.
She wants to see us.

In an hour, at her party venue.
Can you pick me up?

Alright, see you soon.

- I just got a call. I have to go.
- Okay.

- What time is our ob/gyn appointment?
- Two o'clock.

I'll be back on time.
I just have to talk to someone.

Okay.

- See you later.
- Bye.

So you were happy with the quality?

We're ready to talk
about upscaling things, yes.

And if that goes well,
upscaling even more.

That is, if you're interested.

Of course.

But not under the same conditions.

- We want to be clear about that.
- We can talk about those.

As long as the deal remains interesting
for both parties.

Listen...

You guys are having problems. We're not.

I like to think long-term.

In the long term we'll lose our advantage.

Our competitors will find new ways
to obtain precursors

and who says you'll give us
a decent price then?

The market is a two-way street,
so we want a good price now.

If we're going to collaborate,
I want to make payment arrangements first.

We're listening.

Not here.

I want you to come with me to Turkey.

My financial advisor there
handles all my financial matters.

Financial advisor.
What kind of bullshit is that?

We give you pills, and you pay us.
That's it.

I don't pay in cash.

Not when it concerns such large sums.
Too dangerous.

Okay, when are we going?

- Right now.
- Right now?

I'm on parole. I can't just go abroad.

Shouldn't be a problem.
I have a private jet at the ready.

We'll be back tomorrow.
In and out without anyone noticing.

You'll be my guests.

- Nothing will happen to you.
- Can't that advisor of yours come here?

Perhaps I wasn't clear.

I am going to Turkey for a funeral,
and I would like to combine the two.

I thought you wanted to collaborate
at short notice?

It's like you said.

In the long term,
you'll lose your advantage.

We need to have a chat.

I don't trust that witch.

If we want to find out who the mole is,
we have to create a bond with them.

- If we don't go, we'll lose them.
- They'll eat us alive in Turkey.

That's not true. If she wanted us dead,
we'd be dead by now.

This is our chance
to get to know them better.

Fuck.

Welcome to my world.

Okay.

Good. Our car is in the back.
Mehmet will drive us to the airplane.

I just need to make a phone call first.

Here, you phone Patrick.
Tell him we're leaving for Turkey.

"Kasper Verbrugge, lawyer."

We can't carry around his real name.

That's our trump card,
in case things turn sour.

You've reached Nathalie. I'm not here,
so please leave a message.

Honey, I have bad news.
I'm leaving for Turkey unexpectedly.

I'll be back tomorrow,
but I'm going to miss our appointment.

I'm sorry. I hope this is over soon.

I'll try to call you later to hear
how the echo went, okay?

If something comes up, phone Patrick,
he knows everything. Sorry again.

An echo?

- Got a little Bob on the way?
- Shut up.

At your age? I don't envy you.

What time are we meeting
that advisor of yours?

Later. Get some rest and relaxation first.

And if you need anything,
just ask room service.

We'll pay for it, of course.
Here you go, Ferry, this is your room.

- Thanks.
- You're welcome.

What is this?

You can't be serious.

Before we continue to do business
and share financial secrets

I have some questions.

I don't do business like this.
Either you trust me, or you don't.

And your machine doesn't register lies,
only fear and irritation.

These people know what they're doing.

They do this all the time
for their corporate clients.

You know how these things work?

The cops once tried to use one on me.
I refused, because it's bullshit.

You take everything so personally.

This is how I do business
with all my new contacts.

It's like a job interview.

What if I don't want to?

You'll get to enjoy Turkish hospitality,
but this will be our last meeting.

I have nothing to hide.

Five questions.
If you don't trust me then, we're done.

Five is too few. This isn't a negotiation.

No? Isn't this how you do business?

Five questions, or nothing.

Six questions.

Whatever.

I'll ask the questions.
The operator only speaks Turkish.

I'll start with some control questions,
to establish your normal...

I know what control questions are.

I'm not surprised.

Is it Wednesday today?

Yes.

Are we in Belgium?

No.

Is your name Peter Bogaert?

Yes.

You need to relax more.

You want to come sit here?

Just breathe calmly, okay?

Do you have children?

Yes.

How many?

None of your business.

Was that your first question?

No, this is my first question.
I'm going to begin.

- Have you ever deceived business partners?
- No.

Did you know Ferry
before he went to prison?

Yes.

Was there conflict between you?

No.

Did you go to the Festival Shop
to buy PMK?

Yes.

Are you a cop, or an informant?

That's two questions.

Let me put it differently.
Do you work for the cops?

Is that why I'm here?
Because you think I'm a cop?

- Just a simple yes or no.
- No.

So you didn't talk to the police
about the Festival Shop?

I did.

Did you tip them off?

You're out of questions.

The cops visited me
because I was on the Festival Shop's CCTV.

They didn't find anything.

You know why?
Because I make sure to cover my tracks.

Those bastards just wanted me to know
that they knew I'd been there.

So you're on their radar,
and I'm supposed to trust you?

You really think the cops
aren't after you and Serkan?

You fucking dragged me to Turkey
claiming it was to meet someone.

Turns out it's basically a kidnapping.
And you want to talk to me about trust?

Come on now.

Everyone get out. Now.

Let me know when you're ready
to do real business.

So?

Undecided. Especially the last part.

He was too worked up
to pick up the stress signals.

Bob, is everything okay?

They made me undergo a lie detector test.
Leyla asked if I was working for the cops.

Fuck.

- So?
- Well, you know how it works.

Got myself worked up
during the control questions

and thought happy thoughts
during the lies.

I think I managed to mislead the machine,
but I had to take some risks.

I don't want you taking risks.
If you're in danger, get out of there.

I can't. I don't have a passport or visa.

If it gets to that,
I'll stick my neck out for you.

I'll talk my way out of it.

I see you've settled in nicely.

So this is the famous Turkish hospitality?

- A five-star hostage-taking?
- No, of course not.

But there are protests and police
all over the city.

You're here without a visa.
I don't want you to get in trouble.

I've ordered all these people
to take good care of you.

Maybe they take their jobs
a little too seriously, but...

I'll make it up to you.

Tonight I'll take you
to the best restaurant in the city.

Best hurry up, I'm fed up with this bar.

I told Peter to meet us at the lobby
in half an hour.

How long have you been working together?

About six years.

How did you meet?

Mutual acquaintances.

He did some things for me
through Qualistone.

When he started the warehouse thing,
I jumped in.

Right. So you're good partners?

What is this, a quiz?

No. But I sometimes feel
like there's some discord between you two.

Disagreements happen
in every good marriage.

Yes.

What are you getting at?

You're important to us, Ferry.

We know what you're worth.

Who you are.

But Peter is a different story.

I trust Peter.

Completely.

Alright. I'm going to get ready.
I'll see you at the lobby in 30 minutes.

Goddamnit, man, where were you?

That witch is asking questions about us.

Tell me about it.
They made me undergo a lie detector test.

If we want to make it out alive,
we'd better learn to pretend to get along.

There she is.

Hey, can you get the car ready? Thanks.

Gentlemen, thank you for your patience.

I know I've asked a lot of you, but...

I feel reassured.

I suggest we leave all this behind us,
and focus on the future.

Are you coming?

- Salaam alaikum.
- Alaikum salaam.

- My condolences.
- Thanks.

Everything's ready
for the funeral tomorrow.

This is what you are entitled to.
I know it won't bring Yusuf back

but at least
you won't have to feel guilty.

Tell him.

We sent our son to Belgium
so he could have a better life.

You promised us you'd look after him.

But now we get Yusuf back in a coffin.

Where is my son?

You are not welcome
at the funeral tomorrow.

Shame on you.
My son is dead because of you.

You're right, it's my fault.
I feel awful. I'm so very sorry.

Where is my son? Where is he?

My son. My Yusuf. Where is he?

You've sullied our family's honor.
You're no longer welcome here.

Please forgive me, in God's name.

Please forgive me. Please.

It's De Boei, where Lars lives.

Danielle speaking.

Good evening, Ms. Van Marken.
Sorry for disturbing you at this hour.

Do you know where your brother is?

No, I don't.

This is the second evening in a row
that Lars hasn't come back to sleep here

and we're worried,
because he's not picking up his phone.

Oh, shit. No, I have no idea.

I'll try to call him as well.

Can you let me know
if there are developments?

- No problem, we will.
- Okay. Thank you.

INCOMING CALL
DAAN CELL

- Reinhard.
- Leyla.

Whoopa.

I'm going to take a leak.

So you have kids?

A son and a daughter.

And you?

Also two kids.

A girl named Emine, and a boy named Halil.

Emine just started secondary school.

Mine are a bit older.
My daughter goes to college in France.

And your son?

I don't see him very often.
He lives with his mother.

You're divorced?

He still struggles with that.

Doesn't pick up his phone when I call him.

I haven't always been a good father.

It pains me to hear that.

My children are my everything.
I'd do anything for them.

Is that why you're so cautious?

Yes.

The one time I failed to be cautious,
Serkan nearly died.

I'll never get my old husband back.

He and I would have been dancing
over there.

What happened?

A rip deal with Somalis.

I should have known.

They changed the location
at the very last minute.

You still struggle with it, don't you?

Yes. I should have been smarter.

That's why I double-check everything now.

After what happened, I know
I can't trust my gut feeling alone.

Although I have a good feeling about you.

Then I think I've earned the right
to ask some questions.

A lie detector test.
A sort of quid pro quo.

Okay, but how will you know
whether I'm speaking the truth?

Your heartbeat.

You get three questions.

Choose wisely.

Have you ever deceived a business partner?

No.

Strong business relationships
yield the most benefits.

And they're built through mutual respect.

But it has to come from both sides.
If it doesn't, I can be ruthless.

That wasn't a lie.

Second question.

How much money have you made so far?

A lot.

That's not an answer.

The hotel we're staying at?
I own half of it.

Last question.

Am I wrong, or have you been sending me
signals all evening?

What?

Now you're going too far.

- I'm married, and I love my husband.
- That's not what I meant.

Leyla, I drank too much.

Bring me back to the hotel.

- What's wrong?
- I said the wrong thing.

Goddamnit. Did she really leave?

Fuck. I have to fix this.

I moved too fast.

Relax, man.

Cops.

Or German?

Why are you so nervous?

My apologies. That's my fault.

Fault? Turn off the engine. Get out.
You two as well.

Get out of the car.

Passport, please.

Are you this nervous in Switzerland?
And you?

Where are you from?

- Belgium.
- Belgium?

Passport, please. You too.

We can't, we don't have...

NEXT TIME

I can feel something's wrong.

- Did he call you?
- No.

You come into my house to tell me this?
And you think it?

I don't trust you.

This cannot lead back to me.

Damnit.

Goddamnit.
