All language subtitles for Salamander S01E10

The King wants a scapegoat for
this business as quickly as possible.

And I'm the scapegoat?
- Yes.

And, to be honest,
not entirely undeservedly.

So, if I understand correctly,
a secret investigation

with your approval, unknown to me.

At a time when the whole country
is on edge.

Good news. The Minister of Justice
has sold the Public Prosecutor out.

Gerardi will have to surface
now he's unprotected.

We are being taken over by
the Ministry of the Interior.

Without me being told?

We may no longer take orders from you
from next Monday.

Seems familiar.

Emile Jonkhere. Raymond's father
and the bank's founder.

I'm actually only
interested in April '44.

I don't want any more people dying.
- It's not up to you.

You just have to pay.
I decide what happens.

And if you're going to get
too sentimental, then that's it.

Here are the next three names.

ST ROCH
BOYS' ORPHANAGE

Gilbert Dewulf.
- Gil.

Gilbert or Gil, it no longer matters.
Here you are number 640.

640!

He'll call you.

Maybe it's a good sign
that he's taking so long.

Welcome to the orphanage,
Mr Jonkhere.

Seasons greetings.
- Mrs Van Mechelen.

Happy Christmas.
- Happy Christmas.

This is my son, Raymond.
- Welcome, Raymond. Happy Christmas.

Happy Christmas, Mrs Jonkhere.

Welcome. Happy Christmas.

So much money, Mr Jonkhere.
- A small gift. Just a small gift.

My bank gladly redistributes
some of its wealth.

Now I'd like my son to see
how well off he is in Brussels.

Would you like to
hand the presents out, Raymond?

Come with me.

Thank you.

Here you are.
- Thank you.

Thank you.
Happy Christmas.

Right.
- Here you are.

Thank you for so many lovely presents.

You're welcome.
I'm really pleased to see you.

Here you are.

Here you are.

110.

Come on.

We have to say it together
or it won't count.

OK.

I swear to remain true to my brother.

I will never betray him.
My flesh will burn if I break this oath.

Come on, boys.
Go on. Outside into the courtyard.

110.

110.

Come on. Come on.
- No. No. No.

640.

Nine for arithmetic,
nine for Dutch,

eight for French,
eight for geography and history.

Congratulations on your report.

Now you will have to choose.

Between an apprenticeship
or going to technical school.

What do you want to be
when you grow up?

I'm going to be an engineer.
- No, no, no.

That's not on our list.
- I'm going to be an engineer.

Here. I know these off by heart
and I want more and better ones.

What are those?

Chemistry, physics. Where did you
get these? Who gave them to you?

Something terrible has happened to 110.
- What?

Come with me. Quickly.

Wait here you.

What's happened?

OK. Thank you.

Your visitor is here.

I'm not expecting anyone.

Surprised to see me, Mr No�l?

You made me an offer via my minister.

You would take us to Gerardi.

And you've come to do it now.

I'm resigning as Public Prosecutor
the day after tomorrow.

That's what you wanted, eh?

And Gerardi?
- No comment.

Are you throwing down the gauntlet?

What's the idea?

If I resign, I'm no longer
sworn to secrecy. That's the idea.

Then I'm free to talk about the
disastrous situation our country is in

thanks to people like you,
Jonkhere and Salamander.

No one will listen to you.

You underestimate people.
- People are deaf.

They vegetate in front of their TV
and don't believe anything or anyone.

Certainly not an old fool like you.

You underestimate the man in the street.
And honest politicians do still exist.

Statesmen who want to
govern our country well.

Who...

God...

Go home and die.

So Persigal wants to kick up
a fuss about us in the press.

What a ridiculous idealist!

But we've got two or three
newspapers on our side.

We'll be able to limit the damage.

The damage will remain
and be to our detriment.

Will you be responsible for the outcome?
- Hold on.

Hold on, young man.

Are we talking about
the Public Prosecutor now?

Or about me?

What do you know?

I want to make an example of someone.

If Persigal turns against us and
goes unpunished, others will follow.

We've been far too lax with him.

You are very ambitious, aren't you?

I deserve to have
more trust placed in me.

So I'm asking you.

Give me Persigal.

Good morning.

Was the door into the corridor locked
when you arrived?

Yes.

They've searched everything.

Oh no.

Mr Vander Velde,
it's me, Jean-Jacques.

Someone just gave me this.
- Who was it?

Thanks.

Dear Paul,

leave your hotel
as soon as you read this.

My office has been broken into
and searched.

It may no longer be safe for you to
stay there. I want to meet you today.

First I had to ask if you were followed.
- I wasn't.

Right, here's the key.
It's to that door.

The Public Prosecutor will
return it to me. I live near here.

OK. Thank you.
- Thank you.

Be careful, sir.
He's had a lot to contend with lately.

Public Prosecutor.
- Welcome.

Take a seat,
there are plenty to choose from.

I'm glad you are feeling better.
- I'm not doing too bad.

I'm resigning tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?

I'll explain that later.
Look how hard I've worked for you.

Everything I could
get my hands on is here.

Operation Salamander, 24 April '44.

I thought everything on it
had disappeared.

Our government was in London
at the time, that's from its archives.

It's only one page, but still...

Salamander,
operation by Resistance group Spika.

Jonkhere, the founder of the bank,
was in charge of Spika at the time.

Parachute drop of British secret agent
above Imbeke in Brabant.

Afterwards all contact ceased and
the operation listed as a failure.

What was the purpose of the operation?

That's all I have. But now
we at least know for certain

that if something did start,
it was during the war.

24 April 1944, in the Resistance.

And it's still continuing. Today.
So it is a political conspiracy.

Money. Follow the money trail.

And where do you end up?
- At Jonkhere.

Yes. Jonkhere Bank. Correct.
And this here...

Yes?

Who's there?

The bomb in your car was a composition
B, a military explosive made from RDX,

in America.

Here you are. The Spika group
used the same explosive

for attacks on the Germans in the war.
Sabotaging railway lines and bridges.

From 1942, the Americans

supplied Spika and Jonkhere with
dozens of kilos of the explosive.

And after the war
he kept what was left

and murdered my wife with it.
- Exactly.

Jonkhere used Spika to his own advantage
and later turned it into Salamander.

The breaking open of
those 66 safes proves

that Jonkhere and his gang have got
other enemies apart from you and me.

But we know nothing about
who did it and why.

Nothing.

There you have it.

Typical end to my career.
Exiting via the back door.

Take care, Paul.

Thanks, Yolande.

Yolande?

If there's a problem, come and see me.
- OK.

What did she want?

Hey! What did she say?
- I have to stay here for the weekend.

Have you done something?
- No, my dad can't come and get me.

Leave me alone.

Is my cell still free?
- I think so.

We haven't had that many
who've obeyed the call since then.

You can't sulk forever.

I'm your friend, aren't I?

Your dad's let you down
and you can't go home?

Home. Did I ever say home?
I haven't got a home.

When I'm not here,

they shut me up in a monastery
with a load of ancient monks.

Why?

It's all too complicated.

Maybe I can do something for you.

Yes?

I always expect the worst
when I see you, Miss Wolfs.

Actually, I just wanted
to ask something.

Take a seat.

Who reported it?

It was an anonymous call on an internal
line. It's on the third floor.

Colleague.

Good evening.
- Commissioner.

And?

What?

What?
- I need to talk to you urgently.

No, no, not via the phone. No.

Yes, I know where you are.

Yes. I'll tell you later.
- The examining magistrate is here.

Right.

He had a foreboding.

He knew.

He told me you were here.

Just in case...

And the cause of death?

He had a heart attack.
She was suffocated.

First they were killed,

then they were undressed
and placed on the bed like that.

The whole scene was faked.

You can imagine how
the media has pounced on it.

Highest judge in the country
in bed with his secretary.

Have you found anything else out
about Jonkhere Bank or those murders?

Well, I've tried to.

My investigation is blocked by the
Ministry of the Interior each time.

And their orders come from even higher.

The Prime Minister's office.

Jonkhere has a pawn there.
Vincent No�l.

The future National Security Adviser.

How do you know?
- The Public Prosecutor told me.

No�l takes his orders from Jonkhere.

Does the Prime Minister know?

Definitely not.

Is it a conspiracy against the State?
A plot?

At the moment it's all about money,
but that doesn't mean it won't change.

Listen, only call me
if you are really, really in trouble.

I can no longer trust my own department.

OK?
- OK.

SEX SCANDAL INVOLVING
TOP JUDGE

FATAL PASSION WITH SECRETARY?

Your God allows a lot of things
to happen.

Some thought has gone into that.

They want to give a signal,
to you to stop

and to other members of Salamander
to keep quiet.

Paul. Paul, come and see.

Come here.

Look, I scanned this photo in,

compared it with listed monuments
and buildings in Brussels,

but can't find a match anywhere.

I'll zoom in. Maybe we'll be able
to read this then, but I doubt it.

Historic.

Historic. It's historic, isn't it?
- Where did that photo come from?

A safe at Jonkhere Bank.

Hello. Who?

Oh, sorry. No, no problem.

I was busy with something and
didn't hear what you said.

I was a bit distracted.
Sorry. Say it again.

Well, I've just had
Nicola and Sofie on the phone.

Yes. Apparently our daughters
are becoming friends. Yes.

No, no. No, Sofie is fine.
But she didn't dare phone you.

Well, they'd like to spend the weekend
here together and that's fine with me.

I can go and pick them up and
I'll take them back Sunday evening.

But I wanted to check
it was OKwith you first.

If Sofie would like to,
that's fine by me.

Why don't you come too?
I'm inviting you to dinner.

Then you can see Sofie
and I'll see you again too.

What d'you reckon?
- Yes, I'll look forward to it.

OK. Well, see you then. Thank you.
Yes, thanks.

This is definitely not our style.

It's despicable.
- It had the desired effect.

Boom!

Efficiently and discretely.
That's how we go to work.

Until now, at least.

You wanted a message.

But you also need
an audience for that message.

Hopefully this won't get in the way
of your ambition to get on.

What do you mean?

Well, now we've lost
the Ministry of the Interior,

Mrs Carlier has put you forward
to become a senior member.

You will have full voting rights.

There's an emergency meeting of
the Council of Twelve in a minute.

You're expected to appear.

In a minute?

But I'm not prepared.

You do want to climb the ladder,
don't you? Or not?

HISTORIC RESEARCH SOCIETY
OF BELGIUM

We're here.

What is expected of me?

Introduce yourself. Answer all
the questions and don't tell any lies.

Every member has
your life in black and white,

down to the smallest detail,
up to and including yesterday.

My name is Vincent No�l.

At present
I'm security adviser to the...

That's enough.

Was this your idea?

Yes.

Why do it like this?

You can speak freely.

It's my opinion,

but I admit it's very personal...
- Stand as you were.

We're living in new times.

Personally, I think we have to adapt.

Become stricter, harder.

That's enough. You can go.

So, ladies and gentlemen,
what do we think of him?

He is a nasty piece of work.

He's too ambitious. Today it's Persigal,
tomorrow it could be me.

But it is a unique opportunity.

As our man in the Prime Minister's
office he can be extremely useful to us.

That's not important now.
- Cyrille is right.

We still don't know
who emptied our safes in your bank.

Or why.
- All the damage that has been done.

My God.

Martine?

Let's give No�l the chance to find out
who our enemy is

and give us Gerardi's head on a platter.

He is nasty enough
to be able to do that.

Accepted as a candidate. Well done.
- Thank you.

There's a taxi waiting outside.

Those two are very much alike.
- Yes.

Who's going to tame them later?

Right. I'll go and get ready, eh?

I can't get out of it?

Dad? He really won't disappoint you,
you know.

Did you tell them anything about us?

No. I just said about Mum

but not about who you are
or our real names.

Well done.

Sweetheart, it's best
if they don't know who we really are.

Had you met Nicola's Mum before?
She said you knew her.

What?

Oh, yes, no, yes.

She happened to be outside when
I dropped you off at boarding school.

I can spend the night here.
- Really?

Yes. And Nicola is great.

Are you happy?
- Yes. But also because you are here.

That's sweet of you.

You look better than you did last time.
- You too.

And your daughter is lovely.
Fantastic.

Thank you.
I should've called you. Sorry.

I'm glad you're here now. Come on.

Oh, I thought
my father would be in here.

We're going upstairs, Mum.
- OK.

Don't put your music on too loud.
- No, no.

Those two get on really well together.

What a lovely place you live in.
- Thank you.

I'll go and see where my father is.

Pour yourself a drink.
- OK, thank you.

Paul, may I introduce you to my father?

NEXTWEEK

I want you to check someone out for me
as quickly as possible. First name Paul.

Bloody hell!

Good morning.
- Good morning.

Calm down, calm down.

You can't cause a commotion here.
This is still a monastery.

You wanted information
on Paul Vander Velde?

There it is.

Dad, please. What's going on?

I'm the one who broke into
those 66 safes at your bank.
