If I don't get the complete work within a week, the deal is off.

Yara, my dear, how's it going?

Said, I can't wait any longer.

- Goodbye. - I'm...

Everyone is on standby, all exits under surveillance.

We burst in when you say go.

But I'm heading north. I can give you a ride.

- What's your name? - Roy.

All right, Roy. Why did you run from us? You could have been killed.

I was scared.

I do not have...

permit...

Okay, all this because of a residence permit?

Where did you get this?

I buy it.

From whom?

I do not know the man. He speaks English, but he is an Arab.

- This guy? - Yes, this man... this one.

- So it's not him you're afraid of? - No, not afraid. I do not know him.

He say he is a refugee himself.

He gave me ten euros for food and phone... and...

a jacket and...

a cap.

He pitied me.

- Where was that? - Train station.

Check if we have any surveillance footage from the train station.

This must be your lucky day.

This can't be a foul!

Everything is a foul in basketball.

A sport for pussies.

- Did you see it, Karim? - No.

- Peace be upon you. - Peace be upon you.

- Alone? - Alone.

- How are you guys? - Fine, thanks to Allah.

Peace be upon you.

Glad to see you, Captain.

Getting here was very difficult, Karim.

But thanks be to Allah, my journey was easy.

But brother, I would like to know, how was your journey?

It was good... good.

No problems, nobody asked any questions at the borders. I was well-prepared.

Excellent. So there were no problems and nobody saw you?

No. Everything was good.

And the things you brought? That's good too?

Yes...

Yes.

Paula, that CU captain has just gone in.

Captain?

Yes, you know, Karim's commander. That guy from Syria.

What? He's there? What are they doing?

They've all gone into the kitchen. We can only hear them.

What do you think? Shall we go in?

No, no, wait.

If we go in now, they'll be out by tomorrow, guaranteed.

Paula...

before anything foolish happens,

we can only hear them, so let's just go in, okay?

- Just wait. I'm on my way, okay? - Okay.

There you go.

I knew you wouldn't let us down, Karim.

Thank you, Captain.

On the A7 Flensburg to Hamburg,

4-kilometre tailbacks between Hamburg Schnelsen and Stellingen.

On the A31 Meppen to Bottrop,

road dosed between Lingen and Emsbühl until 12 p.m...

- Is this Syrian? - It's Sabah Fakhri.

I thought so.

I haven't heard him for ages.

- My son-in-law played with him once. - Really? How lovely!

Actually, that's where my daughter first met my son-in-law, Faris.

Before the war, a year before the war, I think.

I might have been at the same concert. I'm a big fan.

Did I tell you my name is Mariam?

I don't think so.

Amir.

- This is Tarek and Rasha. - Hello!

Hello.

I can't wait for my family to come to Germany.

How many children do you have?

Two, Mahmoud and Yasmine. They're 9 and 13.

You must miss them.

I think about them all the time.

My heart longs to see them again.

I'm on my way to my daughter, Malu.

She's in...

She's in Denmark, but I can't reach her.

God bless.

You've done a wonderful job as a mother.

Why can't you reach her?

Never mind.

This is very delicious!

Rasha, you seem to like the food too, don't you?

Amir, are you rich?

You must be if you can buy us all this!

Me? No.

- You shouldn't ask such questions. - It's all right.

I'd love to be rich, who wouldn't want that?

I'm an insurance broker. This phone is my only bonus.

I sometimes use it to call my family. My company doesn't notice.

What?

- May... may I... - You want to call your daughter?

- Yeah. - No problem.

- Thank you. - Here you go.

The person you've called is temporarily unavailable.

No answer.

I'm sorry, but you can try again, whenever you wish.

Okay, Mariam?

Thank you.

Mariam...

Get us some coffee, and let's leave.

We're not far from Lübeck.

Yes.

Welcome back to VTM.

We're about to have an exciting competition

between a team of kids and a team of their parents.

- Answer the phone, you idiot! - I'm watching!

This is Karim, speaking on Omar's phone.

All right.

Yeah.

Understood.

IRS news channel.

- What are you doing, man? - That was the captain.

He says there's something we must see.

- Damn it. Do they know you? - Of course not! Nobody knows me!

- Those guys are on to something. - Yes, they're getting paranoid.

So? Where's the coffee?

I... I forgot.

No problem, get in.

But the children need to use the toilet before we leave.

Let's go, children.

- I don't want to pee. - Yes, you do, come on.

- We'll be right back. - Okay.

Come on, let's go.

What's wrong?

Keep walking!

Mariam?

- Why are we running away from Amir? - Because he's a murderer, Tarek.

He wasn't a murderer!

He seems nice but he is really a murderer.

Are you ready for a good walk?

Come on, guys.

Give us something, please.

Peace...

- An espresso, please. - Sure.

- Hello. - Hey.

He's just killing time.

He's been here for half an hour.

Looks like he's waiting for someone.

Looks ex-military.

I'll pay.

Get ready.

Police! Don't move!

Shit.

Police!

Drop the gun!

Move in!

Hands behind your head! On your knees! On your knees!

Shit, shit, shit!

Damn it!

Yes, Jan.

- I'll be there in 20 minutes, okay? - We don't have 20 minutes, Paula.

Something's not right in there.

Karim is on his own, the others left. I don't know where they are.

What do you mean, you don't know where they are? Did you see them go?

Yes, I can't see them, hear them, I don't know where they are, Paula.

Okay, move in now. Right now. And... and keep me posted, okay?

Okay.

Action.

Yes, Jan?

No, Karim is the only one we found here. The others are gone.

- Fuck! - Yes.

There's nothing to find.

There are no documents or computers that could help us.

I've only found a couple of crates. Contained weapons, I think.

So Karim was just a diversion.

We'll have to turn the place over.

It's a massive maze.

- Yes, okay. - Ciao.

Fuck!

Who was the buyer of the stolen artworks?

- What buyer? - He shot at me. You were there.

- Some guy I met in a cafe by chance. - Name?

He didn't say.

You never met him before, right?

Know what that is? A photo of you in Syria illegally trading with the Caliphate Union.

So what?

- Who is that? - No idea.

- And this? - I'm afraid I can't help you.

What was in the boxes you traded for the artworks?

I don't know what you're talking about.

If you have nothing on me, I suggest you let me go.

You're a funny guy.

There's a direct link between you and the terrorists, okay?

This is a Europol matter so I can keep you in Brussels until you start talking.

What's up?

- Should I cancel the deal? - No.

I want that work.

But this thing is hot right now.

Make sure they don't fuck it up.

And we need some distance.

- How was your meeting? - Good enough.

Back home.

Honey, you know this is our housewarming party.

Yeah.

Close the door.

- What? - Close the door.

Okay.

Franz just called.

He was almost caught by the police. He's in hiding.

- They got Calik, his Turkish contact. - So?

Don't you get it? The things we planned to sell were confiscated.

And if Calik talks, we'll have the police at the door.

So?

And The Garden of Ishtar was linked to a fucking murder case in Denmark.

I don't understand.

We've been careless and now people are dead.

Has Richard Adams cancelled the deal?

Is that all you can think about?

Well then, everything is fine.

We haven't done anything, darling. I haven't killed anyone.

Have you?

We need to drop this damn deal and delete anything linking us with the artwork.

Darling, please don't be so melodramatic.

Can't you think of anything else?

So...

See you later.

- Hello, are you Hanif? - Yeah.

What's wrong?

Tarek? Rasha?

Tarek! My sweetheart!

Rasha! My sweetheart!

Come in, please. Come in.

Hello, this is Yara's mailbox.

Please leave a message after the beep. Thank you.

Yara, sweetheart.

Call me as soon as possible.

I really don't know how to thank you.

- There are still good people. - I'm so glad they're here now.

They deserve to have a family.

Everybody deserves a family.

- Do you have a job? - I'm doing okay, thank God.

- We have all we need. - We learn to get by, don't we?

But our kids will grow up and see better days.

I'm sure of this.

I hope you're right.

I hope so.

Listen, you are welcome to spend the night here.

That's kind of you, but I have to leave.

Someone is waiting for me.

Kids... come here.

I have to go.

Mariam, you don't have to leave now.

My daughter really misses me.

I have to see her.

Don't leave us, ever!

You two are surely the sweetest children in the whole world.

- What's up? - Claudia's been arrested.

What? What has she done now?

She got up to some amateur terrorist stuff.

Just come here.

I'll be there as soon as I can.

- Yeah? - “Not light loving.”

- Hi. - Hi.

- Where is she? - In the lavatory.

Come with me.

Can I speak to her alone for a moment?

Of course. But be gentle with her.

She is still pretty weak.

Of course.

Where is Ishtar?

Here you go.

Okay, I'm sorry. I know I'm late. But now I'll handle it.

Well, I'm curious.

- Okay, what's up? - The demo against the HWS Bank.

That's shit.

We just wanted to demonstrate

but security showed up and everything went mad.

Mad? I can see that.

These arseholes finance weapon deals in Congo and in Saudi Arabia

and then they have champagne in the shitty chancellery

and nobody says anything because it's a bank.

Well, yes. And they'll have champagne tomorrow too.

And you'll still be here.

Somebody has to do something. Instead of just talking. Your words, Dad.

Yes, sorry, I said that. Are you kidding? You know what I meant.

Yes, I know. The guy was dangerous. But I don't want to just talk.

And I don't have ways to show that.

- But you damage yourself. - It's not about me!

I don't just think about me. It's about the whole thing.

Claudia...

To take care of yourself is a really big thing.

Maybe you start with that.

And we'll help you.

It is simply about you now.

- I'll go and get coffee for us. - Yeah.

Hi, darling.

Hi, where are you?

- I'm at the office. Why? - For how long?

I'm waiting at the house. Are you coming or should I go? I have practice later.

Fuck! Buster, stay where you are. I'll be right there.

Okay. See you soon.

Hi. Sorry.

Hi, darling. So sorry, I forgot. I'm really sorry.

It's okay. I saw you on television. You were cool.

- Hi. Nelly. - Peter.

- Wow. - Yes.

Have a look down here.

We have our own harbour.

And only 20 minutes from your school, Buster.

Yes.

Look at that.

- Isn't it great? - Sure.

Is there a reason why it isn't more expensive? Is there a catch?

Well, it's been for sale for quite some time

and it's too small for most families.

Right. The two of us don't take up much space, right, Buster?

The two of us?

- Let's just say it needs some TLC. - That works for me.

- Adds to the charm. - The two of us? What do you mean?

I'm not moving in here.

Okay, should we go inside and look at the paperwork?

Sure, just a moment.

Listen...

Buster, I want us to live here together now that I am back.

You're going to leave anyway. You know that.

I want to stay here with you.

Hey!

Buster.

Will you drive me to training?

Sure.

I'll wait in the car.

Who is this guy? Why is he here?

Is he your boss? Your captain?

Is he your brother?

We've been watching you for some time.

You left for Syria with Safa to fight with Caliphate Union.

Whose idea was that? Yours or hers?

That's your girlfriend, with CU.

Your dead girlfriend.

And perhaps she's dead because of you.

So you've decided to remain silent?

Come on, Karim. You're an intelligent and educated young man.

What are you charging me with?

Listen to this. He talks after all. That's awesome.

Searching your apartment, we found some crates you had in Syria.

What was inside them?

Weapons?

We found hundreds of documents with Safa.

- She stole from CU. - I don't know the documents.

We're having them analysed to see if the handwriting matches yours.

If it does, it would prove you're very much involved with CU.

That's enough to put you away for a very long time.

Or you cooperate, tell us where your friends are,

where the contents of those boxes are and help us decode those documents.

Are they connected to the illegal sale of art coming out of Syria?

Do you know The Garden of Ishtar?

I'm an economist, not an art smuggler.

Do you know this man?

I've seen him on TV.

- Do you know this man? - No. I've never seen him.

We believe he killed Marwa and your girlfriend.

You were very much in love with her.

It's just that she wasn't the right girl for you.

If you hadn't met her, you'd be finishing your degree.

Don't talk about Safa like that.

Imagine if you'd chosen Marwa instead.

Don't talk about Safa. Ever!

Come on. Sit down.

For God's sake.

Hello?

Yes.

Yes, I... I expected that.

No, he knows...

He knows the guy already. That's impossible.

Okay, wait a second.

Okay, he says he doesn't know him.

- Hello. - Mum, this is Malu!

Okay, yes. Check it out.

Everything okay apart from that?

Do you know The Garden of Ishtar?

I'm an economist, not an art smuggler.

We questioned him three more times but he remains silent.

- What about the apartment? - Nothing was found.

They had time to clean it up.

And the three individuals in that apartment?

All on the run.

We searched the entire place, we found nothing.

We should have moved in earlier.

We should have picked them up while we knew they were there.

Yes, with hindsight, we should have, yes.

I was at the scene, I made an error of judgement.

Right.

Yes, so now three-quarters of a terrorist ring has just disappeared.

And we have no evidence.

We have no computer, no papers, no weapons, nothing.

We have no evidence we're dealing with a terrorist organisation

that is planning an attack. Nothing. Gone. Disappeared.

The only thing that hasn't disappeared is... the threat level.

That's been raised to level 4.

Jan didn't make an error of judgement.

He kept saying he and his men should move in. I said no.

I made a wrong decision.

That's a serious error of judgment, Paula.

I'm afraid I have no option but to take you off the case as commander.

- Mr Van der Bourgh, I'm... - I have no choice.

So you'll do desk work till further notice.

All right?

Thank you.
