CALL GEORGES 10:00 DEPARTMENT MEETING

Hi Georges, this is Esther. Esther Vinkel.

Is Eric with you? - No, he's not here yet.

He should have been here at ten.

Yeah... Right.

Is there something wrong?

No... I just don't know where he is.

I'll ask around.

Antwerp Police, good morning. - Hello. This is Esther Vinkel.

My husband is missing.

Can you put that in there? - We're going to be late, aren't we?

Yes, a bit. But that's okay. - Mummy, my crown came loose.

Okay, we'll ask the teacher.

Daddy, my crown.

Lunchboxes? - We're going to be so late.

I don't want to be late.

Mummy.

Nearly done.

Yes? - Got to go.

Bye, baby.

No, I wasn't talking to you. - My lunchbox.

Can we go now? - I'm going to be late.

Okay, bye.

Are we going now? - Yes, we're going.

I'm not working today, I'm sick.

Come.

I don't want to.

Get up, love. Come on.

Get up.

There you go.

Great.

Human Trafficking raided that strip club yesterday.

They didn't tell us anything. - So I heard.

'So I heard.' But why don't they tell us anything?

It's not our case, Evi.

I've got a case.

A missing Dutchman.

So your husband is missing? - Well, he works here in Antwerp.

I can't get a hold of him. He didn't come home.

When did you last speak with him? - Yesterday evening at nine.

He said he'd call me back later. He knew my father was in hospital.

Your father passed away yesterday evening?

Yes.

But when I spoke with Eric...

...he seemed stable.

And when did you come to Antwerp?

Last night by cab.

A cab?

From Amsterdam? - You took a cab last night because..?

Because I can't reach him. I just can't.

And your father has just died.

Yes.

You will need this. This is Eric's.

There you go. And this is his, too.

Does he have several phones? - No.

And this phone was in the house? - Yes.

That's not uncommon. Eric is somebody who will go out without his phone.

He thinks it's a human right to be unavailable.

Even when your father is dying?

Yes, but when I spoke with him, he seemed stable.

Any bars or restaurants he frequents?

There is a bar he goes to, but he hasn't been there in a while.

What's it called? - The Black Cat.

What can you tell me about your husband's mental health?

Any trouble at work for instance?

Or in your relationship? Could be anything.

No, nothing at all. Nothing out of the ordinary.

That's a surprise in itself. - Excuse me?

Nothing.

I guess you'll need a picture of him.

Here.

Could we check your husband's apartment?

Of course. 41 Wolstraat.

And what's his phone's PIN code? - 16-2-8.

The date we got married.

Okay. A little bit more smile.

You like it. You love that pole. You love it.

Yeah, very good. Very good.

This is great. Smile.

The pussy against the pole. - Push the pussy against the pole.

Yes.

And ride it. Ride it.

Slow. Yeah.

That's it. You like it. You can do this for hours and hours and hours.

One leg around the pole. - Do it yourself, Betty.

Come here.

Let's do a lap dance.

That was very good. You've got talent.

Okay, we do the lap dance now. Let's do this again.

Okay. Come close, come close.

And feel the dick. - Feel my dick.

You can feel it. You love me, eh. You love me.

I'm a very attractive man. Turn around.

Let's do a dry-fuck, okay? Go.

Yeah.

Slowly, slowly. I need to get hard, yeah.

Very good, very good.

Darling. Take Daria to the doctor. - Okay.

You're doing great.

DR. HAGAR GYNAECOLOGY PRIVATE CLINIC

It's a piece of cake.

Honestly. He's a sweet man.

Hey. - Hello.

Sylvia.

Love your hair. - Really? Look at my roots.

You always look great. Come on in.

So you're a dancer? - And she did some extra work.

These girls keep getting knocked up. - What do you expect, Sylvia?

Accidents happen on the highway. - There's no end to it.

Right. You may feel this.

But it's all over in fifteen minutes.

You look tired. - You think?

Are you eating? - Maybe it's anaemia.

Or stress.

Can I work tonight? - No work for a week, darling.

A week?

Seems a bit long.

48 hours?

You're a doll.

Didn't I tell you he was sweet?

All right. Suppose so.

The Life and Works of Vladimir Soloviev in Light of his Philosophy of Love.

The Meaning of Love.

Enlightenment in Love.

Look at this, Sam.

He forgot the Cloud.

V. - That's the sender.

Could be a college student.

The 300 Best Wines Under 10 euros. You'd like that.

But you probably have this.

Veronique Stevens, Vania Hallaerts, Valerie Lambert, Vicky Michel.

And Veronique Wagelmans.

Vicky... - Michel.

Can we have the schedules of these students?

Never mind Vicky Michel.

She's had a burn-out for two months. - A student with a burn-out?

Do you know Professor Savenije? - My colleague. A friend of mine.

Any other things we should know?

Is he having an affair?

We don't mince our words. - Saves time.

No, I don't think Eric's having an affair.

Do you see Mr Savenije? - Only during lectures.

And outside class? - Absolutely not.

Any contact with him outside class? - No, thanks.

Do you see Mr Savenije outside class? - Why do you want to know?

He missed an important appointment.

We're collecting information.

When did you last speak with him? - Yesterday, after class.

What did you talk about? - About Kierkegaard.

And his thoughts on irony.

We found a video on his mobile.

Perhaps one of his students. Can you make out who this is?

No.

So you can't tell us anything? - No.

Be careful with these videos.

Certain people can take advantage.

That's not me.

Can't help you.

BELGIUM-NETHERLANDS BORDER

Oh, sweetie.

Thanks so much for coming, Auntie.

Any news on Eric? - Not a thing. It's so strange.

Hi, darling.

Where's Dad? - In the sun lounge.

Okay, okay.

Classic oak wood, excellent choice.

Handgrasps.

Isn't it 'handgrips'?

Handgrasps and handgrips are both correct, madam.

Isn't that included in the price?

Still sounds strange to me. Handgrasps?

Do you have a nice picture of your father? Digital.

JOHN VINKEL OF VINKEL HOTELS IS A GENEROUS GIVER

MAN OF THE YEAR

Esther speaking.

Hello, this is Evi Vercruyssen, Antwerp police.

Do you have a minute? - Yes, of course.

It might be a long shot but have you ever heard of Veronique Wagelmans?

Veronique? Yes, I know her.

Ah, you know her. - Well, not personally.

She's one of my husband's students and she started sending him odd texts.

He showed me the messages. I think she had a crush on him.

Has she said anything? Does she know anything?

Has he shown you any other things of her?

What do you mean?

What kind of things? - Videos.

Videos?

It looks like she sent him rather compromising videos.

Hello? Mrs Vinkel?

No, he...

He never mentioned that. - We're not completely sure it was her.

But I wanted to check with you anyway.

But I checked his phone and I found nothing.

It wasn't on his phone but in the Cloud.

Evi, come here.

I've checked his entire street. This is another street.

That's him.

Yeah.

There's our little redhead.

Last night you went to restaurant Horta with Mr Savenije.

Yes.

Well?

Why didn't you tell us?

I told you I spoke with him.

Mr Savenije is missing. It looks like you're the last person who saw him.

We would appreciate it if you shared any information you might have. Right?

Could we have a look at your phone?

I don't have it on me. - That surprises me.

It's a fundamental human right to be unavailable.

But you can check my phone. - Could you...

I can drop it off at the police station.

Hi. - Hi.

You have lessons? -Yes.

I just came back from my father.

Sorry about the mess. - I can come back another time.

Didn't we have an appointment? - Yes.

Let's keep it then.

Discipline is key in our trade.

Not a single day has passed without me making my bed.

My father taught me that. And the army taught him.

The first thing you do in the morning is make the bed. How long does it take?

A minute, thirty seconds. And the first task of the day is accomplished.

To think that over half the population can't be bothered to make the bed.

Yes.

Right. Okay, thanks.

Afina's post-mortem.

Our girl probably died from all the inflicted injuries.

Yeah, it's pretty awful.

Shouldn't you be off? Kids' party, right?

We should drop by the bars where they pick up these girls.

And that missing guy?

I guess the prof has priority. That whore is dead anyway.

Right. See you tomorrow.

Te. Piante.

Okay.

How old is your mother? - Sorry?

How old is your mother?

Sixty-six.

And you are...

...twenty-seven? - Yes.

So she was thirty-nine when she had you.

Yes. - Okay.

Okay, let's move on.

Beautiful.

Hi, Laurens.

Missed you. - It was easier in Amsterdam.

Don't walk out on me, okay?

Do your thing.

You eat, boy.

Isn't that good? Good dog.

Good, isn't it? You're such a greedy-guts.

Were you such a hungry boy?

Good boy.

You already paid. - It's your birthday. Right?

How sweet of you.

I'm taking Imana to Amsterdam.

When? - This afternoon.

I'm coming too. - Aren't you working?

Are you visiting that woman?

Don't start.

Oh, sweetie... Don't worry, it's a party. Look.

Don't do that, Mummy.

Come, they're here.

Hello. Come in.

Hi there.

Hi, Kathleen.

Katrien. - Ah, yes.

Ah, come in.

Lemonade?

Mummy, the picture.

Yes, the picture. One, two, three...

Say cheese.

Mummy, the pancakes. - Sorry?

Oh, shit. Damn it.

This is Sylvia. I was wondering, are you free tomorrow afternoon?

Is it Daria?

No, it's for me. - Oh dear.

You know what, come tomorrow at 2 p.m.

Okay, see you then. - Okay, until tomorrow.

Can I have a chocolate pancake? - Chocolate?

I'll bring the chocolate spread. - I'll have one with sugar.

Sugar is on the table.

Oh, no...

How much is it?

Twenty-five.

You're short again, Henk. - Yeah, well... Hard times.

Who are they?

Elarbi's guys. If they're outside, nobody comes in.

Be right back.

These girls are changing ship, you know.

So these guys are from Elarbi? - Yep.

Okay. We're off to do some shopping. Come.

Hello, hello, hello.

Aren't you cold? - No.

Alright there?

Evi?

Evi. - I'm upstairs, sorting out clothes.

Are you having fun here?

Hey.

Tell your mother that you can keep them.

Is everything under control?

Ah, music.

I'm going to put on some music. Hang on. I'll get it.

Okay girls, let's dance.

Music.

Good afternoon.

My wife is looking for an iron.

A steam iron?

I'll have that one there. - That's the display model. I'll get one.

No, just give me that one and put it in a bag.

How much is it? - Forty-five.

Thank you. Good luck.

In and out, yeah?

Where is he?

There.

Hey, Elarbi.

Yo, old man.

What's your problem?

I don't have a problem.

Let's go.

The government makes sure that every prostitute has access to health care.

To improve their working conditions.

There is supervision and regulation.

Don't worry.

Press the button in case of emergency.

Yeah? - When will you be home?

I'm on my way, babe.

Maybe we could do something together?

Hello?

We just driving through a tunnel... I don't know if...

What?

'Dear Esther, I don't know how to tell you this. It's not you, it's me.

Come and sit.

Hey. Well done.

What is it? - Nothing.

Seriously?

'It was such a success, she must have been on the vodka.' Right?

You could be happy for me or proud. - You took on extra work.

Says who?

I thought we had an agreement... - Who did you call?

...that you'd work less.

Did you call Sam? - That doesn't matter.

The point is that you're not honest with me.

Is that for me?

This is not the right time. - Show me.

No. - Let me see.

Give me that.

Did you honestly think I'd wear this? - No.

What's wrong with me, Gust? - Sweetie...

There is nothing wrong with you. - So why do you treat me like a child?

Why are you calling Sam behind my back then?

Why do you hide this from me then?

Because I don't trust you, Evi. - You know me better than I know you.

And I'd love to meet your expectations. - Don't.

You wear it.

What's that bitch's name? Don't tell me but you won't see her again.

Okay.

Get packing.

Come on, pack your stuff.

I'm sorry. - Get out!

Sorry.

I should have shut up, sorry.

Not a nice welcome, is it?

No.

I screwed up.

Come here.

Here. A present.

Is that for me?

What is it?

Did you have a fight?

Put on something nice.

Why's that? - We're going out.

She's new. - No, she's been here for ages.

I've seen her before. - I'm bad at remembering faces.

Hey hey, look at this.

Not here? - Of course.

Come on.

Babi panggang.

Look at me. I'm overdressed. - I think it's hot.

Happy birthday.

Feel in my pocket.

The other one.

What's in his pants? - What is this?

Nice? - Yes.

What is it? - Show us.

It's a necklace.

It's beautiful. - Show us, Sylvia.

Show us.

Nice, isn't it? - Happy birthday.

Whisky.

You're a pretty one.

I mean it, you're gorgeous.

Isn't she gorgeous?

Evi. - Maman.

What? - Maman, that's my name.

Hello, Maman. - Hi, Evi.

How much? - How much is what?

How much? - Me?

Yeah.

How much for a fuck?

100 euros.

150.

That's the joke. - You say 'cheese'.

Shouldn't you have a drink? - No.

Is that Chinese wine?

Are you tired? - No, I'm full.

Darling.

Here, money-grubbers.

You're staying right here with me.

Excuse me. Hotel Lux, please.

Okay.

Are we going to Hotel Lux?

Yes.

Okay.

How come you know this place?

Just...

Room number nine, second floor. - How much is that?

60 euros, please.

There you go. - Thank you very much.

Have fun together.

Come.

Hey! Hey!

Still no news about Eric?

No.

I think I'm pregnant.

It's possible, right? Women can feel these things.

I wouldn't know.

Didn't you want any children?

I did.

Very much.

Darling. Isn't it time to go home?

You've got so much on your mind.

The door wouldn't open.

You shouldn't drink so much beer. - I want to say something.

They're called glass sandwiches for a reason.

I've got something important to say. - It makes you fat.

Hey. Hey.

Shut the fuck up, okay!

We're having a baby.

Is it Ingmar's?

I use condoms, okay?

A son.

Goddamn.

Here's to the mama.

Shit.

Fuck.

Yes? - Nobody knows where she is.

Yeah, alright. Sure.

Ingmar.

Imana ran off in Amsterdam.

Bloody Elarbi. - I don't know.

No, no. - Oh yes. To Amsterdam.

No, stay here. - We're going to Amsterdam.

Calm down, please. Calm down, okay?

Steady on. Just calm down.

Calm down and sit down. Just have a seat.

Is that funny?

You think that's funny, don't you?

Easy now.

Did you really think I believed it was mine? You think I believe a whore?

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm coming with you tomorrow.

We're getting rid of it.
