You can't make it up:
a flash drive in a tooth.

Who is this man?
- Thomas Clopot. He's a data analyst.

He came along with the Romanian
company we took over a few years ago.

We are on to something huge, my Belle.

Our medicine slows the aging process.
I'm going to be the oldest human ever.

The pills you made are contaminated.

You better pray this load won't be
checked or I will completely destroy you.

What's your name?
- Art.

You're actually quite handsome.

Wait a sec, does Art have a girlfriend?
- Yes. I've never seen him stare like that.

I'm Jerry, Jerry Kwan. I'm an investor,
you see, 'I can show you money'.

It was your own raw materials that were
contaminated.

You need me. You cannot do it without
me.

I'm Ming. I'm your daughter and I would
really like to meet you.

- Mr Rombauts, please come with us.
- No, no, let me go. Please, no.

I'm very proud to have been given
the confidence by you and my father.

This confidence comes with a great sense
of responsibility to make sure...

Lola.

Lola.

Aspergon

The Netherlands

This could be good news, right?

No sign of her, so she must be alive.

Maybe she went to see her dad?

Yes, that's possible.

Maybe she is still on the road.

As long as they haven't found anything,
there's still hope.

I...

I wish I could have stopped her.
- So do I.

I'm used to her getting up to antics, but
she has never disappeared for this long.

How is... How is Art doing?

He's absolutely certain
he's going to find her.

If there's anything I can do...

John from Finance wants to see you now.
He's with an important stakeholder and...

Give those muddy boots to me.

John is... Oh, there he is.
- Ms Rombauts...

I'm in an emergency meeting with one
of our largest private equity investors.

We haven't been able to reach your brother
for three days now.

Is Julien still in China?
- I don't know. They threaten to withdraw.

Withdraw? Who? From what?
- The Alzheimer's project.

What's the man's name?
- Arthur Flamel. He's closest to the partition.

Hello, Mr Flamel. Isabelle Rombauts.
Very good to catch you here.

Apologies for my brother's absence.
He's in China. A communication mishap.

John told me you wanted to talk to us
about the Alzheimer's project.

I basically told John everything already.

We will pull out as financial backers.

Okay. Could you explain to me briefly
what your problem is?

My problem?
I would think it was your problem.

Seven years ago Rombauts Pharma
claimed it had found a cure for Alzheimer's.

Since then we have pumped
over 50 million euros into your research.

Promises were made
about ROI and repayment...

but to this day, we haven't received,
or even heard, anything.

We always try to keep a tight schedule
on these things...

but you know, it's scientific research.

I think we have shown enough patience.
- I fully agree with you.

We have definitely made some mistakes.

We have increased our funding three times
along the way, no questions asked.

Enough is enough. We want our money
back. If not, we will go to the media.

I understand.

Okay, we will sort everything out for you
as quickly as possible.

I'm extremely sorry
it had to come this far...

but John will arrange everything for you.

Would you allow me
to tell you a short anecdote?

Have you heard of the drug Sildenafil?
- No.

In the 90s colleagues were working on
a medication against high blood pressure.

Unfortunately, it wasn't all that effective,
and on top of that...

it had, how do I phrase it,
some unusual side effects.

What's your point?

Sadly, I can't tell you anything
about our Alzheimer's research.

That's because it has led
to some extremely surprising results.

But I can tell you that this run-of-the-mill
medication against high blood pressure...

eventually
would become hugely successful...

under the brand name Viagra.

Viagra.

He's given us two weeks. Do you have an
overview of all the investors in this project?

Of course.

This must be a mistake. You can't keep
me locked up here.

- Check if he still has enough food.
- English?

There's nothing left.
- Check the toilet paper too.

Listen, you have to let me go. Do you
know who I am?

Let's go.

Can I send my wife a message please?

She's worried.

No, don't go. Don't go.

No. Fuck, man.

Let me out.

Hello.

Mr Clopot? I'm Harmke Bot, good to see
you in person. Can I get you a drink?

No, no.

We could have met in the news room at
the office,

but I understand you preferred it here?

An anonymous place is better. Sorry, I
don't have much time.

Well let's get straight to the point
then.

U told me on the phone

that you have incriminating information
about your employer Rombauts

Pharmaceuticals?

Sorry, but I have to ask you some
questions.

For what you told me on the phone is
quite a statement.

That goes way beyond fraud, that's
serious crime.

Here is everything: the classified
research report and the raw data.

I suggest that you check this data and
that we meet again in ten days.

Then I can answer your questions if you
still have any.

There's nothing on here.

That's not possible. This can't be true.

I'm so sorry, I have to go. Sorry.
Excuse me, really.

Don't worry, take your time. I just
wanted to check if you were still alive.

I know what you are doing, but I will
contest my termination.

I will fight everything.

Who is talking about termination?

You'll be put in charge of the research
development of our office in Bucharest.

I would rather call that a promotion.

What do you mean, Bucharest?

Home sweet home, near your mother.

We got the feeling that you were getting
a little bit homesick.

And don't worry,

your mother will be put in the best
nursing home we've been able to find.

They get so vulnerable at that age.

Look, here are the keys to your new
apartment. Friday.

Everything has been taken care of.

if you're happy and you know it wash
your hands

Oh, one more thing: you really need to
see a dentist.

Please. Please, you have to let me go.
There must be a misunderstanding.

- Sorry, no English.
- Can I make a call please?

- I got you some new underwear.
- Please. Please.

I'm done.

Please, please, please. Let me make a
call. Please, please. No. No. No.

Art?

Art?

Art?

This is Art, I can't pick up the...

Yes, Isabelle?

Ladies?
Give me two minutes. Yes?

No, I haven't seen Archibald.

Isabelle, please.

It will be alright.
Don't worry about it, okay?

Quinten, Isabelle just called.
Now it's Archibald who has disappeared.

First the girl, and now this.
- So do we call it a day?

Yes. Ladies, one more thing:

The concert
is just three weeks from now...

so all of you, do make sure to be on time
for next week's rehearsal, okay? Thank you.

Quinten, you will perform
before the break, alright? Chopin, Liszt.

The programmes
have to be printed this week, okay?

I want everything to be perfect.

Quinten? Quinten?
Do you hear what I'm saying?

This is Art, I can't pick up the phone
right now.

Lola.

Oh, shit. Oh, fuck.

Jesus, no, keep playing. It's beautiful.
- Sorry, I didn't hear you make your way in.

Well, this is definitely
making its way into me.

No, really. You have to play.
People need to hear this.

No, they don't.
- Why not? It's so beautiful, it's really...

Why are you here?
- I came to see you.

Sorry.
- Don't be.

Hey. Where have you been?
I was so worried about you.

Yeah, sure.
- I tried calling you a hundred times.

Where have you been?

Hey...

Art?

Sweetie, do you want something to eat?
Can I make you something to eat?

It went beyond your average stage fright.

It was more like... a fear of failure.

And the coke helped?
- It worked wonders. Things went smoothly.

No shaky hands, no stomach ache,
not second-guessing or doubting myself.

Everything works out. That is...

nothing actually works out,
and that's how you end up here.

What do you mean?
- I'm a makeshift sacristan and organist.

A job my mother arranged for me. I get an
allowance, but I have to show my receipts.

Doesn't that scare you off?

You have to start playing again. It's the only
way to find out that you don't need the coke.

If this turns into an NA session
I will ask you to come back on Tuesday.

Alright. I'll see you next Tuesday.

- Please, can you let me go?
- I don't speak English.

This has been going on for too long. I
need to call my wife. Wife? Call?

Okay, wait. Wait. Can you contact him?

Please?

Could you guys
open a window quickly, please?

No rush, no rush.

Plenty of time.

We're going to pack your stuff. We can't
have you taking too many things with you.

This is for you.
Clothes do make the man, you know.

Your plane will depart at 9:30. Please get
dressed, and I will take you there myself.

Brought you a coffee too. Black, right?

Unit 12. Suspicious activities
at Houtmarkt in Roermond.

Please go to the scene and report back.
- Copy. We are on our way.

Incident room for Unit 5. A burglary has
been reported in Vaals, at 23, Lindenlaan...

with the suspects still inside. Please
go to the scene and report back.

How are you doing? Any news?
- No.

How about Art?
- He's been searching the forest until late.

Oh damn.

I can't seem to get through to him.
Could you...

Of course.
I will keep an eye on him today.

Hey, I'm...

I'm Jannes.
- Hi.

Sorry, I have to go.
- Alright.

Okay.

Don't tell Mum, okay?
- I won't.

Hey Marie, what brings you here?

I haven't heard from Julien in four days.
I'm very worried.

I just checked his emails with his
secretary and we made some calls.

And?
- Nothing. No one knows his whereabouts.

Well, I'm sure it will be okay.

How are things with Art's girlfriend?
Has she been found yet?

Hey...
Are you okay?

I will let you know
if I hear something, okay?

He's probably
just very busy with something.

Come on. Let's get out of here.

Good to see you.

Come on, we have to go. Are you okay?
You look like shit.

- No, I'm okay. Didn't sleep much.
- We only have two minutes. Hurry.

Come on, we have to hurry. Come on.

Hurry up.

Move them inside,
so they can't be seen.

We can't tell anyone yet.
It's too early.

It's almost too late. If we don't do
something now, they will pull out the plug.

The investors want to know what's up.

Kim is afraid others might run away
with our invention, and she has a point.

There's no protection in place yet, we have
yet to apply for patents. It's a tricky phase.

Sure, but if we don't give them anything,
they will think the project has failed.

No, I'm not saying anything.

Listen. We all want the same thing:

Win the Nobel Prize
with a unique life-extending drug.

But we're the only ones
who know how we got there.

While looking for a cure for Alzheimer's
we discovered something much better.

Isn't that a good story?
We don't have to go into detail.

Let's organise a super exclusive, top-secret
fundraiser for a select group of investors...

and do a special presentation there.
No company secrets will be given away.

It will be a rousing pitch
about the enormous potential...

which will bring in another hundred million.

That's the money we need to translate
this unique project into a feasible product.

Because if you're going to think at all,
you better think big.

Two male suspects, aged 20 tot 25,
wearing dark clothes, at the bicycle storage.

Please report back on arrival
with a situational update. Over and out.

- Did mom send you?
- Yes.

Margarita with extra topping?
- Yes, that's my order.

How are we going to do this?

I have no money on me right now,
but no need to worry.

Everything will be okay.

A dead body has been found at the marl
caves. Which units can go there now?

Unit 5 for Incident room. Copy.

Art. Art.

Hi, I'm Harmke Bot.
I would like to see Mr Clopot.

Who?
- Thomas Clopot. He's a researcher here.

Just a minute.

I can't find anyone among our staff
with that name.

That's weird. Could I see someone else
from the Research department?

Do you have an appointment?

It concerns research data
on antidepressants.

If you don't have an appointment
I can't help you. I'm sorry.

Art. Art.

Easy. Easy.
Are you okay?

Easy. Easy now.

I told you I didn't want to see anyone.

Sorry. It was too late to cancel his
appointment, and he insists on seeing you.

Alright, but after this I'm going home.
- I understand. Sorry.

Hi, nice to meet you.
I'm Hamza Toumi.

Is it okay if I don't switch off my phone?
- Of course.

What can I do for you, sir?
- No need to be formal.

I'm working on a case about a medicine
produced by Rombauts Pharmaceuticals.

I wanted to discuss it with you. A study
on the subject was terminated only recently.

That's possible. Studies are terminated
all the time. What medication is this about?

Sorry, I do need to answer this call.

Quint?

My dearest Lola.

Baby Lola bug.

You know how proud I am of you.
So very beautiful, so very special.

I hope that you're okay.

I am Lola bug, I am smart I am Lola bug,
I am kind

I am Lola bug, I am loved and I am
divine

I am Lola bug, I am smart I am Lola bug,
I am kind

Art?

Hey. Easy. Easy now.

Isabelle.
- Yes, Ezra.

Long time no see.
- Eh... Sorry.

Sorry for giving such short notice.
You did tell me I could call you at any time.

So this is Art.

Hi Art.

You know,
grief can be very overwhelming.

There can be a period where your grief
is calling the shots, and not you.

Grieving is a very natural response to the
incomprehensibility of the world around us.

It's totally normal to be confused.

Could we?

Could you prescribe some pills that help
him calm down when it happens again?

Yes, I could...

but pills don't calm you down,
they just make you drowsy.

It's not a pleasant feeling to experience
anxiety and be drowsy simultaneously.

It can lead to your mind
feeling alienated from your body.

So we prefer not to do that.

I'm extremely worried, though.
- I can see that.

It was very scary. It looked like he
might be psychotic, just like when I...

I'm not going to prescribe him anything.

I'm not really a fan of pills,
as you probably remember.

What really helps is attention,
and patience. Listening.

Listening, that's the best medication.
But hey, they don't sell that in pill shape.

Can we also take a dog?

Would you want that?

Maybe.

How are you?
- Sweet of you to volunteer.

Art has been prowling about
most of the night. He's asleep now.

I really wish I could stay here
with him myself, but I can't.

The fundraiser this evening
is simply too crucial.

There's a huge amount of money at stake.

You know where to reach me
if there's a problem.

Do you have Souraya's number?
- Yes.

You won't be able
to get through to me directly.

No worries.
- Okay. Thank you.

Hello. Good to see you.

Good evening.
- How are you doing?

Fine, thank you.
- How are you doing, sir?

Mr Flamel, I appreciate you being here.
- You left me very little choice.

It better be good, Ms Rombauts.
- I'm sure you won't regret this.

And what if I will?
- If our presentation doesn't convince you...

I promise that we will reimburse
your entire investment tonight.

Tonight? 52.3 million? A high-risk strategy.
But I fear it won't be enough.

I talked to all of your investors this week.

You owe all of us
over 220 million collectively.

Everyone wants their money back.
- Then everyone will get their money back.

We will talk later.

Excuse me, sir.

Your pass, please.

No smartphones or any computer devices
are allowed inside.

Bob, he's okay.

I'm sorry sir, but this is a highly
secured venue.

Everyone needs to be cleared.

Why are you speaking English?
- Julien, you're on the list.

You bet I am.
This is Mr Kwan.

Hello. Has Mr Kwan been accredited?
- He's okay. Thanks very much, Petra.

I will double-check it with Isabelle.
We have very strict safeguards in place.

Protocol.

Sorry. There's a Mr Kwan at the entrance,
but I don't see his name on the list.

I'll handle it.

Hi.

Hi Dad, this is Mr Kwan.

Jerry, meet my father.

This is my little sister.

This is embarrassing.
He's a major business partner.

Does he have accreditation?
- Jesus. He's with me. Isn't that enough?

We're checking everyone,
and he's from China.

Is that a problem?
- Company secrets are at stake.

Dad, it's your project.
You make the call.

Tell me. Does this new friend have
potential for us, or is he a necessity?

Okay. Your responsibility.

- Mr Kwan, so sorry, welcome.
- Thank you.

Easy, Art. Easy.
Easy now. Stop it.

Calm down.
Easy, Art. Calm down.

Calm down. Art, calm down.

Arcticanximab.

It's no shame if you can't remember that
name,

it didn't really stick to my brain
either.

But the more important question is:

Does it bring us closer to a cure for
Alzheimer disease?

And I know that you'll be disappointed
when I say: we're not sure yet.

I'm sorry, can I just have one more
moment of your time?

I would like to tell you a personal
story.

I only just became head of this company

and I want to tell you what persuaded me
to take on such a challenge.

It's because of this creature.

This is Methusalem.

He is more than twice the age of an
average rat.

Can you imagine if he was a human?

He would be 186 years now.

Arcticanximab is the secret behind
Methusalem's age.

This rat has been treated with low
dosages of this medicines for more than

three years now.

So I don't think that I'm exaggerating
if I say:

you all are witnesses of an
extraordinary moment.

And one day you will tell the world: I
was there.

Because I'm convinced that what you see
here tonight will change the future.

With this treatment we seem to have
found a cure for human aging.

Extended life expectancy
investigational research.

We were digging for silver and we found
gold.

Ms Rombauts...

Sorry to interrupt you sir,

but I am blown away by what I just saw,

my deepest respect.

I see golden business opportunities
here.

And I just want to say to any of you:
270 million,

that's a bargain for what is presented
here today.

So if any of you want to step out of
this project,

I would be more than happy to take over
whatever investments you've made.

My sweet Belle.

Belle, sweetie, you were terrific.

Where are you going?
- Art is not okay.

What happened?
- Don't know. He's upset. I need to be there.

Belle, sweetie. You were amazing.
- I have to go, Dad.

Art?
- Hi. I'm Annelies Schaapman, psychiatrist.

He's asleep now. He was exhausted.

Your mother told me he hasn't slept for
several nights. That can mess up the brain.

Sweetie, what happened?

These pills should take care of it. I expect
them to take effect in a couple of days.

It was untenable, Isabelle.
Archibald was getting out of control.

We just had to intervene, or he would
have done irreparable harm to himself.

He had gotten it into his head that he was
to blame for what happened to the girl.

Understandable, but because of the fatigue
and the tears he's lost touch with reality.

That's why we had
to call a real psychiatrist.

These sleeping pills will help him to calm
down. It's important he gets enough sleep.

And this is methylphenidate, also known
as Ritalin. One tablet, twice daily.

Plus one tablet every morning
of this: Aspergon.

It's an antidepressant, often prescribed
to young people on the spectrum.

In my experience this is a combination that
works very well with these types of kids.

Make sure he takes them
at regular intervals, at fixed hours.

Thank you, Annelies, for coming over
at this late hour. Greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry.

next time:

Your mother was a trouble child.
Did she never tell you that?

Drugs?

You're a bad motherfucker.

I would need your help, your
connections.
