What are we doing down here?

LASTWEEK

Fuck!

It is looking increasingly likely

that Senator Rasenberg
will succeed Pierre Laridon

as Minister of the Interior.

When the first two receive a phone call
or an envelope, they commit suicide

but Rasenberg becomes a minister.
Explain that to me.

I heard there was
some opposition towards the end

but I gave things
a little prod here and there.

She helped you before.
Get her to go further now.

As far as necessary.
If you get what I mean.

Don't be scared.

It's not going to work.
I love my wife. More than ever.

So... Sorry.

She cheated on you with your best
friend. It was Carl Cassimon, wasn't it?

I can't cheat on my wife.

But it's alright to lead me up
the garden path? You bastard!

You really have worked for everyone, eh?
First for Cell P9.

Even for Rasenberg. And climbed
on top of my wife at the same time.

Did he dump you?

I let him copy all the documents
from your safe.

Jesus Christ, darling.

He can ruin us. Who is it?
- Paul Gerardi.

Come on, give me a kiss too.
- Honestly, darling.

You swore to me there was
nothing incriminating in your safe.

What can we do?
- By Friday...

Gerardi will no longer be a problem.

Paul.

Why are you in here?
I told you to wait outside.

Take my car. I'll call you.
Go on, get out of here.

Persigal speaking.

They've killed Sarah!
They were after me. It was my car.

I want Sarah treated with respect
when they remove her.

No... Take care of her.
D'you hear me? Take good care of her.

It's me. There's been a bomb attack

on Paul Gerardi, at his house.
His wife is dead, his child injured.

Where do I have to go?
This is my daughter. I phoned.

OK, come with us. Come on.
Has she vomited? Got a headache?

Has she broken anything? Put her down.
Sabine, can you help me?

I gave her something to make her sleep.
All she has is a slight concussion.

The wound by her eyebrow
is only superficial.

It's best if she stays here
for a couple of hours when she wakes up.

We'll take her to a room.

Has my wife already been brought in?

Yes.

But you aren't allowed...
to go and see her.

I don't think
it'd be a good idea anyway.

Will you do something for me?

Paul.

Paul.

Thanks for coming.

I'm glad you called.

Adams is here. He wants to see you.

They'll guard Sofie
for as long as necessary.

Paul.

I know now's not really the time,
but...

What happened between me and Sarah
was a bit of a fiasco. I mean...

Neither of us really
got anything out of it...

I'm glad you didn't say sorry.

Otherwise I'd have
punched you in the face.

My condolences, Paul.
- Thank you.

There's some stuff I need to tell you.
- Just a moment.

Very briefly.
- Nurse?

We've told your sister-in-law.
Is that the only relative she had?

The rest has been dealt with discreetly.
It will be an accident.

Then there's the burglary.

Your papers and the photos of Rasenberg
and the Prince were stolen.

Stay calm.
Don't go and do things.

We can guarantee...
- You can't guarantee anything.

So don't say you can.
- Don't make it difficult for me.

What are you going to do, Paul?

Paul, we've been instructed
to keep you here.

Paul.

The Public Prosecutor called me.

Yeah... I don't really know what to say.

If there's anything I can do for you.

Commissioner.

Or for Sofie.

Thank you.

The Rasenberg residence.

I've got one question. Did you tell
your husband my name, yes or no?

Did you tell him I'd copied
everything from his safe?

Yes or no, Karin?

Mrs Rasenberg gave me away.

Paul, listen a minute.
- My wife has been murdered, Carl.

And no one is doing anything about it.
No one is lifting a finger.

Someone is going to pay for it.
I'll make sure of that.

But it goes much further
than Rasenberg or Jonkhere.

The group round Salamander is too big.
You're no match for them.

Listen carefully, Carl.

All you have to do is collect Sofie
and make sure she is safe.

Can you tell Sofie...
- Alright.

Alright.

Sofie.

Great. Thanks.

Well?

It was only to be expected. Gerardi
is out to avenge his wife's death.

You underestimated him again.

Rasenberg was our only lead to those who
robbed Jonkhere Bank. That's gone now.

A few more days, they'd have called
Rasenberg and we'd have had them.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Have you got the report on the bomb?
- Yes, a preliminary one.

Here. The detonator was connected to
the car's ignition.

The explosive used was
250 gr. Plastic explosive.

And the media?

Officially it was an accident. Petrol
leak plus electrical short circuit.

Two lines in the press release.

And all because Rasenberg has to be
minister and Gerardi knows too much.

Is Jonkhere behind it?
- Of course.

Gerardi is the only one who knows those
papers are from the break-in at Jonkhere

and the safes belong to
members of Salamander.

Does he know what Salamander is?

That they infiltrate the State,
that Rasenberg is a member?

Definitely.
- We're really stuck.

The King can appoint
a minister with blood on his hands

or we can stop Rasenberg and then,
having just had Laridon's suicide,

there'll be another scandal at
the Department of the Interior.

I'll call Rasenberg myself.
- Rasenberg?

Gerardi is capable of anything,
I know him. I don't want another body.

Who is it?
- The Public Prosecutor.

Well, well, well.
Public Prosecutor Persigal.

I thought you didn't want
anything to do with me.

Or should I say with us?
- That's true, I don't.

I'm calling you officially.
To guarantee your safety.

What's wrong with my safety?
There's nothing wrong with it.

Yes, of course
everything here is normal.

No, there's nothing here.

What is all this? I'm leaving for
Parliament at twelve.

From there I will be escorted to
the King. Is that good enough?

That's fine. That's perfect.

Sorry for disturbing you.

I don't trust it.
I'm sending some people over.

What's the matter with our safety?
- Nothing's the matter with it.

What could be the matter
with our safety?

So why are you nervous?
- I'm not nervous!

Do you mind? I have to see the King
in half an hour.

Which one? Brown or purple?
- They said a neutral tie.

Karin, what is a neutral tie?
Grey, white, black. What?

Grey.
- Grey.

Ask Sandra where she put...
- Sandra!

Sandra! Where is she? Sandra!

Sandra!

I heard her come in.

Why are you sitting there like that?
I've called you three times.

What's the matter?
I'm looking for my grey tie. What?

Call your wife.
Tell her to come here.

Call her.

Karin.

Karin! Come to the living room. Now.
- Stand over there.

Go and stand next to your husband.
Go on.

OK, we'll go straight over there.

Come with me.

You didn't answer my questions earlier.

So I'll ask you again.

Did you tell him my name?

Who did you pass it on to?

Mr Gerardi,

the King is expecting me
in half an hour.

If I don't leave now,
the whole of Brussels Police will...

You... You aren't going to see the King.

You don't know, do you?

They haven't told you what's happened.

What?

You couldn't be minister while I had
evidence against you and the Prince.

Mr Gerardi...
- Shut your mouth.

So they broke into my house
and took it all.

And to make sure I wouldn't tell anyone
anything, they put a bomb in my car.

But my wife got in the car.

I'd given her the keys.

She was burnt alive.

I... I never intended anything
like that. I am so sorry.

Honestly. That...

I don't need your sympathy.

I want a name.

Who did you tell
that I had your documents?

Who murdered my wife?

You don't realise how high it goes,

how vast the interests are.
- I want a name.

I'm a dead man if I talk.
- Who murdered my wife?

I have to become minister.

Answer the phone.

Answer the phone.

Hello, Guy Rasenberg speaking.
- Guy? This is Raymond.

Yes?
- Who is it?

Jonkhere?

Say: I'm not going to see the King.

I'm not going to see the King.

Say it.

Raymond.

I can't do it, Raymond.

I can't...
I'm not going to see the Ki...

You have ceased to exist, Guy.

Go and open the door.

Go on.
- Paul.

I think it's terrible about your wife.
Honestly.

Leave me alone. Go away.

Is he OK?

I'd like to go to the bathroom. May I?

Get out of here.

Don't worry.
I no longer have to stop you.

I just need to know
what you are planning to do.

Instructions.

If Persigal thinks I'm going to take
revenge on Jonkhere, it's too early.

I don't have enough evidence.

Tell him I'm starting
the job he gave me.

Finding those who robbed Jonkhere Bank.
Saving the country. He'll like that.

Hello.

No, Rasenberg hasn't arrived yet
and I am unable to get hold of him.

Dad.

He's a coward.

Awimp.

We invest in Rasenberg for years
and then...

Then someone dies
and he chickens out.

But it was the wrong person who died.

Yes. So?

It's bloody disgraceful.

I moved heaven and earth to ensure
we'd have the Ministry of the Interior.

Do you realise what it means?

Power over 45,000 police officers,
Civil Defence, the crisis policy.

We had all that under our control.

God knows who will be minister now.

Where is Rasenberg at the moment?

Abroad somewhere.

We should distance ourselves
from all that business.

Finally, someone who's speaking sense.

What is our position now, exactly?

Firstly, we are losing ground
politically.

Secondly, we still haven't
identified our enemy.

Enemies.

There are the bank robbers
and there's Paul Gerardi.

They are two different enemies.

Is this Gerardi working for himself
or for the Public Prosecutor?

I'm not entirely sure.
Could be either.

But Gerardi poses
the most immediate threat.

If he is being protected by
the Public Prosecutor,

let's deal with the latter.
- What do you expect to gain from that?

That's what you were going to do
with Gerardi and who's dead? His wife.

Persigal betrayed us.

You're still young.
Never underestimate old crocodiles.

I'm simply warning you.
I'm one myself.

...of the Minister of the Interior,
Pierre Laridon,

his successor Guy Rasenberg
has also disappeared without trace.

While the King was waiting for him
at the Palace,

the Prime Minister received an email

in which Rasenberg stated that
he no longer wished to be a minister.

He has since disappeared
without trace.

Prime Min...
- No comment.

Is there a crisis?
- Crisis is a bit of an exaggeration.

The country has experienced
some ups and downs lately but...

Senator Rasenberg was supposed to
be sworn in by the King

but did not turn up, even though
after the suicide of the minister...

Wolfs speaking.
It's a good thing you called so quickly.

You can't stay in Paris.

How do you know?
- It's headline news on French TV.

I left Rasenberg alone. You said to wait
until he was a minister, so...

So it wasn't you?

I get the feeling
there's someone else involved.

Catch the first train back to Brussels.
Fine. OK.

17 MARCH 1944

Here you are.
These are the only guns we've got.

We haven't got any bullets for this one
and only one magazine for this one.

I can provide ammunition but
you'll have to come and collect it.

It'd be too risky for me otherwise.

This is what I actually came about.

Just a moment.

Hey, you little spy!
Are you working for the Germans?

Eh? Shall I tickle you to death?
Shall I?

Come on, you.
Go outside and play. Go on.

Harry,

use your brain for once.

The guns, and now someone
from Brussels. Who is he?

A big boss from the Resistance.

Think of our son, think of me,
instead of wanting to be a hero.

Hey, you don't need to worry,
sweetheart.

Our people in London are going to
send more planes from now on.

So they need more drop sites.

That means you'll be involved this time.

The plane from England
will come in like this.

The drop will happen here.
Not there, not there, here.

How many parachutes?

I'll tell you
when you come to Brussels.

Right, that's everything.

Did you make that map?

Yes.

My compliments.

Keep a close eye on the area.
Be careful.

Mr Jonkhere.
- I'll see myself out.

JONKHERE BANK

Mr Dewulf?

Be a good boy, eh?

EMILE JONKHERE
MANAGER

You should've told me the place
was full of Germans, Mr Jonkhere.

Right under their nose,
that's the safest way.

It'd be too conspicuous if I didn't
do business with the Germans.

When's that British plane coming?
- The 24th. It's a full moon.

Provide two man.
That's enough.

Have you got some lights?
- Yes.

Place them in the direction of the wind.
First a red light,

a hundred metres away
a white light.

Another hundred metres away
a red light.

When the plane is in view, signal
to the pilot with your own light.

The code letter is Rfor Romeo.
Short, long, short.

Short, long, short.

You'll only see me
when it's safe to move the agent.

What agent?

I thought the plane
was dropping weapons?

Just a secret agent with instructions
from our government in London.

That's all you need to know.

Is everything clear?

Yes.

What's the operation called?

Salamander.

SATURDAY 7.30 A.M.

You're sure you want to
stay here another week?

Yes, otherwise Mum'll be all alone.

You are looking after yourself,
aren't you? You are eating?

The food here's not very nice.
- I know what you can do.

Ask Carl to get you something,
he does the shopping.

I'll tell him. OK?

Dad?
- Yes?

Don't be cross at
what I'm about to say, eh?

No, go on.

You and Mum didn't really
go together very well.

I don't mind. I was the only one of
my friends who still had two parents.

And I'm proud of that.
That evening, the three of us together,

I really enjoyed that.

Mum said she hadn't had too much
to drink but she was really drunk.

Otherwise she'd never have admitted
she was happy.

They can't find anyone who wants to be
Minister of the Interior. Did you hear?

I thought that was the idea?

Yes, but not so soon.
We dictate the speed.

I'll find out
what happened to Rasenberg.

I've adjusted our planning.
Otherwise we'll lose the initiative.

We'll do eight in one go.
- Eight?

Including Wolters, Chairman of the Board
of the National Chamber of Commerce.

Permanent Secretary Desmet
from the Civil Service.

Corten, Governor of the National Bank.
You'll see.

Send them their envelope
and call them three days later.

The country really will be ruined.

Drink your coffee before it gets cold.

There's been something worrying me
since the death of your wife.

The truth is I overestimated myself.

I thought I could use Jonkhere
and Salamander for my career

without paying a price for it.
I was so naive. And...

Now I can see that they are the disease.
A disease that is weakening the country.

It's a cancer.

They even kill people,
all for the sake of power.

Are you scared?

Some say I have too much influence,

Cell P9 should move from the Ministry of
Justice to the Ministry of the Interior.

Does that mean they no longer trust you?

Sometimes I get the feeling
Jonkhere is having me followed and...

that my phone is being tapped.

Are you sure you want to carry on?

We have to find the bank robbers, then
we'll discover Salamander's secrets too.

Thank you for trusting me. And...

Stay strong.

Oh, I forgot.
I've got a solution for Sofie.

A boarding school where she's safe
and can finish her year at school.

Don't worry about the cost.
That will be taken care of.

What d'you reckon?

I think you should ask her.

I will.

Can you check a number plate for me?

MONDAY 1 P.M.

At last it looks as if
we really do have a lead.

Who is this woman?
- Her name's Sabrina Dox.

But her name's not important to us.

Her body was found
near the Atomium yesterday.

She worked as a legal assistant.

She was probably strangled
with a garrotte.

With a wire?
- Yes. Highly unusual, but never mind.

Tiny fragments of rust and iron
were found in the wound.

Very tiny particles, but still...
The lab has analysed them

and the alloy matches exactly

the particles found on him.

On Andr� Strubbe, your informer,

who ultimately set
the whole Jonkhere business rolling.

So you knew he'd been murdered.

We're probably dealing with
the same killer.

Right.

That's good news.

If we find the killer, we've got
whoever robbed Jonkhere Bank.

But even more importantly,
we've got a statement from a taxi driver

who picked a customer up
from number 62, Avenue Emile Duray.

She was standing there talking to
an unknown man of about forty

in a beige Mercedes
with a Luxemburg number plate.

She often slept with strangers,

so maybe our man lives round there.

The police are about to
start inquiries there, so hurry.

Then you'll get there before they do.

NEXTWEEK

Look after yourself, eh?
- See you later.

OK?

Vincent was extremely interested
in the second photo.

Shouldn't we just reveal everything?
Jonkhere Bank, the opened safes?

And say all those who committed suicide
or resigned were members of Salamander,

a secret group that's
infiltrating the State

and will soon have
as much power as Parliament?

Oh dear. That looks serious.

Surely we don't need to
feel sorry for them?
