Original subtitles

- Can't it wait till morning? - No, not really.

There's something that doesn't add up. But I'll be brief, I promise.

- Let's go and sit upstairs. - No, no, I'm not staying long.

It's just... there was still one thing I was wondering about.

You told me your father had only been to see Nils twice while he was in prison.

Yes. Yes, something like that.

- Why? - That isn't much at all.

Your brother was inside for almost three months before he died.

Yes, I know. I don't think it's much either.

Who told you your father had only been twice?

Freya?

Who told you your father had only been twice?

I don't know. My father himself, I suppose? Or Nils.

Right. Because the visitors lists say differently.

Here it says your parents visited Nils 22 times.

I didn't know that.

- That paints a different picture, eh? - Yes, it does.

Is that Nils?

Yes. Yes, that's him.

He used to have long hair but my father didn't like it.

And here, this is...

this is my father's idea of a holiday.

Sitting by the swimming pool working on his laptop.

Did your parents keep quiet about visiting Nils so often or...?

I don't know...

Sorry. Do we have to do this now? I don't get what it has to do with...

I'm trying to understand why there's such a big difference.

Especially as you told me your father didn't have a good relationship with Nils.

I don't know. Maybe... Maybe my mother made him go with her.

You didn't visit your brother much.

Four times.

That's not much, eh?

Nils asked me not to come again.

Why?

Because he was ashamed of what he'd done

and thought I'd be angry with him.

In your first statement you said you thought you recognised one of those men.

I wondered if you'd maybe remembered where you knew him from.

- I recognised one... - Yes, that's what you said, eh?

You told my colleague, with regard to the apparent leader,

that you seemed to know him from somewhere.

Oh, right. Yeah. No, no, I didn't say that.

I said his voice reminded me of someone else's but I didn't know him.

It says here, I felt like I knew the person.

Then he must have misunderstood.

OK.

Sorry... It's not that I want to throw you out but...

No, no, I've finished. Just one more question.

Does the name Elias De Sutter ring any bells?

No, not right away.

It was someone who visited your brother almost every day to start with.

Just for the first two weeks, then he didn't go again.

- Sorry, the name doesn't ring any bells. - It doesn't matter.

We're going to check him out in any case. Right, thank you anyway. That was all.

Idiot! I'd almost got rid of her.

- What did you say to the cops? - Nothing.

- What did you say? - Put that...

Don't interfere. What did you fucking say to the cops?

- Put that... - Are you crazy, or what?

She's trying to stitch us up. Your brother too. All of us. Come on.

Here.

Keep an eye on those two. If the cop comes round, knock her out again.

I'm going to look for the mother before she calls the cops.

The search for Noor Hawal started at around 10 p.m.

near the sewage plant she escaped from.

Dozens of friends and relatives of the missing girl braved the freezing cold

to join in the search of the surrounding area led by the local police.

Shit.

Fuck.

Tyre marks were found there from the van driven by the perpetrators.

Initially it was feared the men had taken her with them

until a sniffer dog picked up her scent again on the far side of the canal.

- Is it true you said that to the cops? - No.

I didn't say anything.

He's just got it into his head I did.

Where's my brother?

I don't know.

I don't know, honestly.

Look at me.

Tommy, you and I have to get out of here, eh?

We do. Come on. Give that here. Give it to me. Go on.

Go on. Give it to me. Come on. Give it to me.

No!

We have to hurry. Her mum's gone.

Tommy. Tommy.

Tie that around her head, take her jacket off and tie her up.

Don't.

Come on, Elias.

No, no. What are you going to do? Stop it.

- Elias. - The Mercedes in the garage,

- where are the keys to it? - Look at me. Listen to me.

I want you to stop panicking and...

I asked you a question.

- Where are the keys to the Mercedes? - In a little cabinet in the garage.

- Tell me what you're going to do. - I'm going to get the money.

- What are you going to do with the cop? - I'll take the cop with me.

THE DAY

- Where do you want to go then? - We'll see. We'll split that money first.

I'll drop you off by your car. You can follow me.

- What do we do with her? - You keep her till I've landed.

- I can't keep her for 20 hours. - Got a better idea?

Come on, 20 hours is far too long.

It'll be difficult to keep her quiet in my caravan if she comes round.

- Keep her somewhere else then. - Where?

We'll see later, OK? First we have to get away from here.

- What about Freya? Are we leaving her here? - It's her own fault.

Why are you so sure she wanted to stitch us up?

Why else would she say that to the cops?

Fucking hell, there's someone there.

- There's someone there? - A cop.

- It's a cop. - Fucking hell.

Drive back in.

What are you going to do? Hey, pal, stop. Stop.

- Back, back. Back in the house. - Duck...

Just go back, go back. Fuck.

No, no! Back, back, back.

The door! Shut the door!

Fuck!

Fuck.

Close the blinds.

I said close the blinds.

What was that? What happened?

Elias, what happened? What were those shots?

- What happened? - Your mum called the cops, that's what.

Are those floodlights? How do I turn them on?

Elias!

Good evening. This is Bram, Federal Police. May I know who I am speaking to?

No. No, you may not.

You don't need to send in anyone. Everything's fine.

Just stay away, away from the house. Understand?

If I see anyone come near the place, I'll shoot someone.

People will get hurt. Understood?

OK, we understand But I can hear that you are on edge.

So I suggest we hang up for a moment and you take some time to calm down. OK?

We'll call back in a minute and, don't worry, we'll stay away from the house.

They're going to call back. We're stuck here. Fuck!

- We can still get away from here. - Can we?

- Take me with you as your hostage. - The car's had it.

- Phone for another one. - They'll never give us one.

Till when have we got for that money?

- Till noon tomorrow. - And if we're late?

If we're late the safe opens and the money is for whoever happens to be passing.

Can't Serge go and get it?

Then if we go to jail it won't have been for nothing.

At least we'll have the money when we get out.

Call him.

Give me your phone.

In my pocket.

What have you done to Serge?

Did you snitch on him to the cops too?

Would I ask to call him if I had?

Elias, Elias, don't.

- What did you do to Serge? - Nothing.

I haven't seen or heard from Serge since this morning at the bank.

Is it a coincidence the cops appeared at his door and we can't get hold of him?

I haven't seen Serge.

Go and check that everywhere is still secure.

Fuck. Shit.

What do you know?

We've surrounded the house and are certain there's at least one armed man.

We've had phone contact. It's the same guy as earlier. Freya is also inside.

With a second man. Perpetrator or victim, we don't know.

- And the mother? - The mother was able to escape.

Vos, we're considering what to do but can't get in at the moment. So try...

Give me your gun.

Fuck.

Don't say a word. Hands behind your head.

Over there. Over there.

Here.

Kneel down.

Put your arm through there.

Is it you and Serge?

Were the two of you going to stitch us up? Is that why we can't get hold of him?

- No one is stitching you up. - Why did you say you recognised...

I didn't say that. You heard me. They asked me to describe the voice.

I said it reminded me of someone else's. That's all. The rest they...

- Why did you say that? - I had to give the cops something.

Elias, stop being paranoid and undo me, come on.

We can still get away from here. We can make sure you make it abroad

but you have to let me help you.

Tommy.

Tommy?

- Fuck. - Hello?

They've gone.

- How many are there? - Two.

- I've got one. Where's the second one? - Gone to look for the other one.

Where is she?

Shit. They've taken the key.

I wouldn't do that.

Get away from the door. Put the gun on the floor. On the floor. Slide it over to me.

What did you think? That you'd walk innocently out of here?

And hope that the cops shoot us? Was that the idea?

That won't be happening. We're in this together.

OK.

Elias De Sutter.

Kill her. Go on.

What are you going to do? She knows who you are. Kill her. Shoot.

You won't get out of here.

Come here. Come on, over there. Go on.

Tie her up. No, not you. You tie her up, tie her to the table. Go on.

Freya!

Stop it! Freya!

- What kind of person are you? - I was helping you.

- By killing a cop or what? - If you haven't got the balls to do it...

Hands behind your back. Behind your back.

Don't say a word.

Keep quiet.

What happened?

- Has someone been injured? - Nothing happened.

- Can we send someone in? - You don't need to send anyone in.

As long as you stay away from the house everything will be fine.

I need a car. Yeah.

You have to put a car there ready and clear the gate.

Free him.

Sorry, she suddenly appeared.

- Did you come by car? - Yes.

- Where is it? - In the street.

Come on, back upstairs.

- Where? - In her shoulder... Just a graze.

No, her first.

- Don't you think that's cruel? - What?

You know we can't let her live to tell the tale.

At least make it quick rather than prolonging it.

Take me with you as your hostage. That'd work too. And solve this now.

My colleagues will never let you go.

- Forget the getaway car. - Can't you at least tape her mouth shut?

There's only one alternative, to surrender voluntarily.

That's not an option.

Nils was your boyfriend, eh?

Why?

I've seen how often you visited him in prison.

How did he die?

I'm asking because I don't understand.

What?

What you did.

That money, OK. That's one thing.

But wanting to take revenge on Rolf because of Nils...

On a father who loved his son...

Loved him? He fucking abandoned his son.

Do you know that for sure?

Rolf visited Nils 22 times in prison, Freya did four times.

- That's not true. - It said four times.

Those lists don't lie.

So something else is going on.

- Come on, Elias. - What are you trying to say?

Was Nils ever suicidal when you were together?

Don't fall for that, Elias.

Did he ever attempt suicide? Did he ever talk about it?

Are you trying to say Nils didn't commit suicide? Have you got any proof?

- I just think it's strange. - Have you got any proof?

I think...

Have you got any proof?

I haven't got any proof.

But if you shoot me you'll never know.

Elias.

Elias, look at me.

Nils committed suicide, OK?

I wish it weren't the case but he hung himself from his cell door.

I let you read the doctor's report and his cellmate's statement.

Nils hangs himself from the door

- and his cellmate doesn't notice? - It was at night.

If you hang yourself you start kicking really wildly.

Against a metal door you not only wake up your cellmate but the whole corridor.

So what did happen?

Of course you can strangle someone and then hang them from the door afterwards.

Do you know his cellmate, Freya?

Answer her question.

- Do you know the guy? - No, I don't know him.

Let me call the prison. I'll ask for the cellmate's visitors lists.

OK, let her. Do you know the first thing she'll say on the phone?

Elias De Sutter, Tommy De Coninck. By the time you've got the phone back

she's no longer the only one who knows your names and that's it.

I won't mention your names.

- What's the code for your phone? - Come on, Elias.

I asked what the code for your phone is.

779246.

Come on. Come with me.

You stay with her.

OK.

One wrong word and you've had it.

Nieuwe Wandeling prison, good evening.

Good evening. This is Inspector De Vos, Federal Police.

I spoke to you earlier about Nils Van Landschoot's visitors lists.

Didn't you get them? I emailed them to you.

Yes, I did get them. But I've got another question.

OK, go ahead.

Apparently Nils had a cellmate and...

I wondered if you could send me his visitors lists too.

- Have you got a name? - No, sorry.

OK, no problem.

Nils Van Landschoot.

Nils shared a cell with Davy Seynaeve.

Released in September. Would you like me to email them to you again?

- Yes, if you would. - No problem. I'll send them to you.

OK, thank you.

Can you tape the cop's mouth shut? The tape is still there.

- Hello? - I asked you to stay away from the house.

- Yes... - So how come that cop has a gun

she didn't have just now?

So our colleague is there with you?

Is she hurt?

- Did you think about my suggestion? - Did you think about my request?

- Where's the car? - I've put it to the public prosecutor.

I don't care about that. I want to know where the car is.

- She doesn't think it's a good idea. - Not a good idea?

Look, if it's up to me we can solve this without violence.

But I can tell you now, arranging a getaway car,

forget it. It's not going to happen.

It's not going to happen? Do I have to make an example of your colleague here?

With the gun you fucking gave her yourselves? Do I?

You won't achieve anything by making threats. You know that.

Your only option is to come out unarmed. Then it's all over. OK?

I say there is another option.

I want you to put that car there ready for us and let us go. OK?

Give us 24 hours and then I'll let your colleague go.

We have no guarantee you won't hurt her.

- That's not going to happen. - No? How can we be sure?

Because I say it's not going to happen.

Look, if you just come out unarmed...

I'm not coming out to be gunned down by you lot. That's not a proposition.

I'm just trying to find a solution together with you.

But we have to be able to trust each other.

Look, you don't have to decide now.

But if someone in there is injured, let them come out, please.

OK. I'll let someone go.

But then you have to do something for me. Find someone. Davy Seynaeve.

He was in Nieuwe Wandeling prison and was released last year.

- Get me his number. - Davy and then?

- Seynaeve. - Seynaeve.

OK, we'll look it up for you and let you know.

But first you have to let someone go, OK?

- Didn't you say something about trust? - Yes. Why?

Special units appear to be getting into position.

Trusting each other also means I have to be able to trust you.

You said you'd stay away from the house, eh?

So I assume that is still the case?

If I say the cops have to stay away from the house, they stay away from the house.

- Someone from the special units... - This is your fault.

So don't give me your bullshit about trust.

Pull everyone back now or the next one will get it too.

Do you fucking understand?

What was that? Did they shoot at you?

No, me at them. They are fucking surrounding the place.

They were even on the roof. Fuck.

How do you know that?

- News 2. - News 2?

They're broadcasting a live image of this place.

- Call them. - Who?

Call News 2 and tell them to leave that view on screen.

Then you can keep an eye on the cops.

Fuck.

I've got the number of a News 2 journalist.

She's been trying to call me all day about Serge.

Here, she's on my voicemail.

- Hello? - Kristien Delaruelle speaking.

- Is that the journalist from the News? - Yes. Who am I speaking to?

The person trapped in the house. I want to ask you something.

I'd like you to broadcast me live on TV.

- Did you lie to me too? - What about?

About us.

Of course not.

Kristien, is that correct? Have you got the man on the line at the moment?

Yes. He's on the line and, if things go to plan, we should be able to hear him.

- Sir, can you hear me? - Yes.

Yeah... You called us...

People aren't supposed to be getting hurt but the cops seem to think otherwise.

I expressly asked them to stay away from the house

but they are trying to get in from all sides.

Look, I just want people to realise I don't want to turn this into a bloodbath

but if the cops make things impossible, then people will get hurt.

You have to help me. You have to show that view of the house.

Which view?

That view of the house, from the outside.

I don't know if that's possible. I'll have to check with the control room.

Yes, that view. You have to stay with that view till the end of the programme. OK?

And no tricks. I can check at any time if we are being broadcast live.

And if anything or anyone gets near the house, I'll shoot them on the spot.

I think I've made myself clear enough.

You have just heard that too. A rather unexpected turn of events.

The hostage taker had a clear message for the police.

What was your impression, Kristien? How did the man seem?

We have just heard. The police apparently tried to...

They were after them?

I really can't tell you any more about that.

It's part of the ongoing investigation.

Earlier today you said that a peaceful solution was the one preferred...

Elias.

Elias.

Gunshots were heard inside the house. Surely that stage has passed?

Not necessarily. We continue to hope for a peaceful...

The cop's not moving.

Are you OK?

Has that email arrived?

- What's your code? - 250470.

No.

Not yet.

Did you know Rolf had chosen Nils to take over the company and not Freya?

- What's she saying? - It can't have been fun for you.

Having to live in your brother's shadow.

- Do you want to get out of here, Elias? - Let me think.

- Take both of us with you as hostages. - Shut up. I didn't ask you anything. OK?

She just used us.

That story about her dad...

Nils going to pieces.

She was just getting us to do her dirty work, from the start.

What?

Elias.

- Elias. - We weren't supposed to survive either.

Tommy, Serge and me. Like Nils didn't survive.

Nils was my brother.

How dare you suggest I had something to do with that?

Visitors list.

Davy Seynaeve.

Monday 20 July, Freya Van Landschoot.

Saturday 25 July, Freya Van Landschoot.

Saturday 1 August, Freya Van Landschoot. 3 August, Freya Van Landschoot.

Conjugal visit.

12 August, Freya Van Landschoot. Conjugal visit.

You spent more time on Davy's dick than you did visiting your brother in jail.

That's not true.

Nils didn't... didn't want me to visit him anymore.

- He didn't want anyone to see him like it. - So you fucked his cellmate instead?

I didn't... Nothing happened.

I just wanted to find out from him how Nils was doing.

It was just a way of... of being able to talk to him in private.

- You asked Davy to kill Nils. - That's not true.

That's not true. Nils committed suicide.

Have you ever wondered what part you played in it?

You finished with him at a time when he needed you most.

It's your fault Nils is no longer here.

Hey! Elias, have you gone crazy?

No. No.

Hey, hey, stop it.

Hey.

Let go of me. I'm going to kill her.

Tommy.

Tommy, come here.

Tommy, hold on. Don't answer it. Let's think about this first.

Tommy?

Hello?

What's happened? Has someone been injured?

We tried to contact Davy Seynaeve.

As you asked.

But he disappeared 2 months ago. He's listed as missing.

Can you please tell me what's going on in there?

Sir?

Tommy.

Come here, come on.

Please, undo me.

Did you have Nils killed?

No.

No, Tommy.

What about my brother?

I don't know anything about Serge.

Come closer.

Hey.

Come on.

I love you.

You know that, eh?

What happened, happened.

I know you didn't mean for it to happen. I know that.

But without you...

Without you he would have killed me.

Listen to me.

What we're planning to do, I still want to do it. We still can.

The two of us.

You and me together. Far away.

That cop is the only one who knows we've got anything to do with this.

When they storm the place soon... Look at me.

When they storm the place soon we'll just say... Hey.

We'll just say...

we don't know Elias. OK?

That you came here to ask about your brother.

And that he burst in here.

She's the only one who knows it's not true. Get it?

She's the only one... who's still in our way.

Get that gun.

Come on, Tommy.

Tommy?

Tommy, you have to do it.

Shoot her. Come on.

Shoot her.

Do it for us. You have to do this. Come on.

I can't.

I can hardly...

Tommy?

Police! Drop your guns!

Police! No one move!

Clear.

Hello?

Sierra 2. One target down in the kitchen. Freya injured. Medic ASAP. Over.

We'll get you out of here, Freya. Is there anyone else here? Is it just those two?

Anyone got any information about Vos?

Out the way, out the way.

Vos? Vos?

Vos?

Come on, hurry.

Madam.

Come on, Vos, wake up. Don't give up now.

Freya.

Out the way, out the way.

Clear the driveway there.

Is there anything else you want to say?

Is there anything you want to know?

- Did your colleague make it? - She's in a coma.

We now know who the second man was.

Elias De Sutter.

He was the one who carried out everything together with Tommy,

everything that had to happen in the bank and afterwards. With those tubes.

But the thing is, they didn't do it on their own.

There was someone else.

Someone who had a good reason to ruin your father's reputation

and make sure he'd end up in prison.

Someone who involved Elias and Tommy and who came up with such a masterful plan.

You almost admire them.

It's someone you know, by the way.

Serge De Coninck.

Serge?

His description has been circulated but he probably went abroad with the money.

I'd like to go over your statement again, if that's OK with you?

So... Two men gained entry to the house.

Tommy De Coninck, who'd come around earlier about his brother,

and an unknown armed person...

I begged repeatedly for him to let her live

but Tommy pointed his gun at Inspector De Vos.

At that moment he was shot.

Immediately afterwards special units burst into the house.

And the rest... the rest we know, eh?

You're sticking by what you said, Freya?

OK. We have checked everything out thoroughly

and based on what we now know

there's nothing that contradicts your version of the facts.

If you could just sign at the bottom, you can go home.

Here.

Arne to observation. Target on her way out.

OK, Arne. As soon as the target comes out we will follow her.

OK, thanks.
