Original subtitles

- He's there. - Chlo�.

Rough night?

- We have to talk. - Haven't you heard of a phone?

We did call you.

Several times.

They won't let you off the hook.

- Who did they pick? - Gomez.

Bloody hell.

- I've done nothing wrong. - It's not me you must convince.

In 24 hours, Guy B�ranger will be transferred to Vielsart Abbey.

- What's it to do with me? - You'll run the operation.

You've been seconded to supervise the local police force.

The chief officer is called Charlier.

I have work to do here.

Not with Gomez on your heels.

Spend two or three weeks in the Ardennes, keep a low profile and come back.

Cheer up. Think of it as a holiday.

Oh...

Chlo�...

Try not to shoot anyone this time.

FINALLY REVEALED

PUBLIC ENEMY

BREAKING NEWS

Guy B�ranger, public enemy number one who terrorised the country in the 90s,

will be released on parole today.

After serving two thirds of his sentence, he'll live with the Vielsart monks

amid reluctance from very concerned locals,

the killer's gruesome murders still fresh in their minds.

In July 1989, little Simon's body was found by the road.

He would be the first in a long line of five young victims in total.

His ritualistic-looking crimes bore a sign

which has remained a mystery to investigators.

It wasn't until 1994 that the police

finally got their hands on the man dubbed the Eye of Nivelles.

He was given the maximum sentence of 30 years.

- What don't we want? - Murderers!

Front now, Guy B�ranger is considered a free man,

but with certain conditions...

He must find a home and a job.

Any outings will be the exception.

As you can see behind me, many locals are here.

You're one of them.

Can you tell me why you've come here this morning?

Listen, this is our village.

We've always felt safe here.

Our Father, who art in heaven...

- What don't we want? - Murderers!

WE WANT TO GROW UP

No�mie!

Go away, dirty Flem.

- Where are off to? - No�mie!

What were you thinking running off like that?

Thanks, Micha�l. Sorry.

He's here!

Open the gate.

Can somebody help me?

That's not the welcome I had planned for you.

- What did you give him? - This was in his pocket.

Did they give you that in prison?

You'll feel weak for a day or two.

You should drink lots of water.

Here.

Avoid sitting for too long.

Brother Lucas will be responsible for you here.

Brother Lucas.

Welcome to Vielsart.

- How many exits here? - Two.

The one you just used and one there used only by the porter.

- Who monitors that exit? - Nobody.

- I put all my men in front - Put two at the back.

- Access roads: - Two.

The one you took goes to the village.

The other one is above the abbey. The abbey is surrounded by forest.

- How many of you are usually on duty? - Four.

Not much happens here, you know.

A few break-ins.

Some drug dealing.

Forest pyromaniacs.

If everyone does their job properly, it'll stay that way.

- I booked you a hotel. Shall I drive you? - No, thanks. I've made other plans.

Do you like it?

I brought you a copy of the Rule.

Read it and learn it if you want to stay.

"When someone comes to lead the religious life,

"let him not be given easy entrance but, as the Apostle says,

"seek to find out if his spirit comes from God."

Chapter 58.

"And all others who come will be received like Christ."

Chapter 53.

Are you going to lock me in?

Sorry?

The door...

Are you going to lock it?

Of course not. This isn't a prison.

Brewin beer...

is not a science, it's an art.

Of course,

we can throw some barley and two or three hops into a pot

and call it beer.

Or we can wait patiently for that extra special ingredient.

Tomorrow, we're not just going to brew beer,

we're going to brew abbey beer.

And this is only the beginning.

Hotels.

Car parks.

Conference halls, inns, restaurants, dozens of jobs...

A few years ago, the press said we were finished.

A disaster area.

I'm going to prove we're still standing.

Thank you, cheers!

Mr. Governor.

- Well done. Nice speech. - Thanks.

We need to talk, Patrick.

We're wondering whether it's the right time to invest.

- I've already funded half the project! - I know.

You think people will want to spend a weekend with B�ranger?

He's been here for one bloody week.

Wait a few days, people will tire of it and move on.

Let's talk next week.

Call my office.

We'll go for lunch.

Here, take this.

Stay close to the van, okay?

I'll be right back.

I'll teach you if you want.

No�mie?

What did you say to her?

What did he say to you, sweetie?

- What happened? - Ask him.

What did he say?

- Maybe he said nothing. - I heard him!

He spoke to the girl.

See?

- This is too dangerous. - Too dangerous.

- And there are women here now. - Inspector Muller isn't in the way.

- And it's only temporary. - Temporary?

Do you understand what'll happen? People will talk.

He doesn't belong here.

- Where, then? - Where he was.

- Enough, you two. - Enough!

Having him here is the very purpose of our life in this community.

I knew that this decision would divide us.

I never said it would be easy.

But I won't go back on my decision.

That'll be all. Thanks.

It's funny, isn't it?

In jail, I wanted to be outside and see trees.

Now I see them and I'm still in jail.

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

Her father hit you for nothing?

- I just picked up her toy. - You said nothing?

Maybe that it was a nice toy. I can't recall.

And that made him want to thump you?

People often want to thump me.

Where were you?

What?

You're supposed to be protecting me. You weren't there.

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

I know you.

You're little Chlo�.

You made headlines 20 years ago.

You have short hair now.

I can't remember if it was that short before.

Those big black eyes, so sad.

- It must have been terrible. - Make the most of your view.

I'm happy it's you, Chlo�.

Want to give it a go?

Go on, come here.

Prop it right up against your shoulder.

Okay.

Okay.

Now I want you to picture a line going from your gun to the paint pot.

Can you do that for me?

Now, hold your breath.

And pull the trigger.

Emile, not at the table.

For God's sake, Emile!

Yes, hold on...

If you don't put that thing down now, I'll dump it in the oven and grill it.

Okay. Come and see me tomorrow.

We'll come up with a solution.

Emile. It's the second time.

He's a real sniper.

- He's too young for weapons. - Hell, Patrick!

We were shooting when we were ten.

I don't want him near weapons any more, got it?

Yeah, whatever.

- Who was it? - Lana.

She had a row with Eddy again.

- You'll see her tomorrow? - I'm helping her out.

Tomorrow.

What?

Emile's tests are tomorrow. Remember?

We arranged it two months ago.

And you can't even spare us two hours at the weekend?

I can go.

Listen.

- I'll leave early. Promise. - Don't make promises you can't keep.

Praise the name of the Lord.

Praise the servants of the Lord

Who watched over the house of the Lord

In the courts of our Lord's house

Praise the kindness of the Lord

Rejoice at the sweetness of his name

Are you looking for something?

Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.

I'm not scared.

You couldn't sleep?

I haven't gone to bed at 9 p.m. since I was 10!

Have you anything to drink around here?

Brother Camille buys it for cooking, apparently.

I had trouble sleeping at first.

The abbey does that to you.

You put up a fight at first and then you end up letting go.

What are you fighting against?

My demons.

Your demons?

We all have demons, you know.

They come. And they keep coming back every night.

What do they say to you?

They tell me to come back.

But I tell them that my place is here now.

That I have a mission to accomplish.

Like saving B�ranger?

Not exactly.

Every candidate who wants to become a novice

must spend time with the master of novices.

I must know if his calling is sincere.

He's lying, you now.

What makes you say that?

His last victim was called Aur�lien.

He was ten.

When we found him, all his blood had drained out.

B�ranger had thrust a needle directly into his vena cava.

Do you know what he said when he was arrested?

"It seemed like a good idea at the time."

It really is cooking rum?

Yeah.

No�mie! Time to get up.

No�mie?

No�mie, that's enough.

- She's not here - What do you mean?

No�mie?

No�mie!

When did you see her last?

Last night at 9.

We watched a film and she fell asleep before the end.

Is this a recent photo?

Yes.

C�cile, it'll be fine.

We'll find her. I promise.

Is there anywhere she could've gone?

- Any grandparents who live nearby? - No.

She never met my parents, his are in Maaseik.

Why aren't you questioning him?

You were there at the abbey yesterday.

You saw him. He saw him.

Just like me.

- B�ranger was in his cell last night - Maybe someone helped him.

- I don't know... - We're doing all we can.

No. You're not doing anything.

We're wasting time!

Look, I'm sorry, but...

All I ask of you...

is to go and talk to him, that's all.

Please!

Did No�mie fall out with either of you recently?

It wasn't really an argument. It was really nothing.

She wanted to go to a boy's birthday party

and I said no.

And you?

What?

You told C�cile you got up at six.

Right.

That's early for a Saturday.

I get up at six every morning

including Saturdays and Sundays.

I look after my animals.

What are you trying to get at

with your shitty little questions?

Am I a suspect now?

Nobody said you were a suspect.

We're wasting time!

The police dogs arrive in five minutes.

Did she leave her pyjamas behind?

Her clothes are An a mess. She was in a hurry.

She left of her own accord?

I want a list of all the region's sex offenders. Groping, indecent assaults, rape.

You shouldn't have promised her parents we'd find her.

We argued and then he left with the money.

- And Laurent? - He's at home.

Thanks.

You're going to get your son and go to Fanny's house.

Stay there a day or two until the dust settles.

That's not for drinks.

Thank you, Patrick.

- Coffee? - No.

I have some news.

What?

The Van Assche girl is missing.

There are cops everywhere.

The cop from Brussels is onto it. Her name's Chlo� Muller.

We must find that girl before the press knows.

Hey, Gr�go, all good?

Hi, Vincent.

What are you doing?

Working.

Oh, you're working.

That's good.

Tell me...

- Did you see any cops around here? - No.

- You sure? - Yes.

Cops? Yes, I did see some.

And the car?

- Did they see the car? - The car? No.

You screwing with me?

No, I swear I'm not.

Know what'll happen if cops sniff around here?

Yes!

Look at me, Gr�go.

I'm your pal. Are you scared of your mate?

- Are you? - No.

So look at me.

We're cleaning everything, okay?

- I want it all gone. Is that clear? - Okay.

Yeah?

It's all good.

Let it flow.

That's where she left from.

Why would a kid go out in the middle of the night?

I want a helicopter from here to the village before dark.

We're going to need a lot of manpower.

That's why we ask you all to remain calm. We need your help.

If you have any information,

call 08006060.

To help with the search, come to the Le Loup Blanc Inn

at 1 p.m.

The appeal was made at 11 a.m.

by Chief Inspector Charlier of the Vielsart police.

The main headline of today's news...

Ten-year-old No�mie Van Assche has been missing since last night.

No concrete leads have been given by the police.

We will keep you informed...

A bit of calm, please.

We'll start the search.

We'll all set off from Houbay forest.

I know you have questions. I can't answer them now.

When will you get us rid of that bastard?

What did you expect?

We won't do anything until you rid us of that big shit.

Bravo.

Now that's solidarity. It's heart-warming.

I feel sorry for you.

Who is he?

All of you.

Patrick Stassart.

- She's lost alone. Why are we still here? - What do you want us to do?

What would you want us to do for your kid?

M�lanie, would you want to look for your kids alone?

I have a son too.

If something happened to him, I'd want to be able to count on all of you.

You know what we're going to do, Eddy?

We're going to search every inch of that forest and find that child.

Whoever doesn't...

will have me to deal with.

Understood?

Over here.

There are tyre traces everywhere.

Get forensics in to make casts.

There's blood here. We'll have to tape off this area.

- What is it? - It looks like a 7.62.

Who shoots with a 7.62 firearm in this village?

Do you know what that is?

You think I'm an idiot? Of course I do. It's a war arm.

Who shoots with that, Eddy?

Are you interested in that now?

- Not hunters. - Don't play dumb, we must find her.

I don't bloody know.

I don't care what you do with your friends. I want to find that girl.

Give us a name or you spend the next 48 hours in custody.

- Vincent. - Vincent?

Vincent Stassart.

Keep going and secure a perimeter for the clues.

- I'm coming with you. - We need you here.

- It's my brother. - Another reason to stay here.

Dispatch for DC 712.

Go ahead, 712.

I need Vincent Stassart's address in Vielsart, over.

Hold on.

32 Bomal Road, 8221, Vielsart, over.

Does Vincent Stassart have a record? Over.

Hold on.

Stassart... Breaking and entering, assault and battery, drug trafficking...

- Sorry. - Of course.

My hands were tied. I had no choice.

- No... - What do you mean no?

You'll have to do a bit better than apologise.

What do you want me to say?

I spent my day in a forest looking for a missing girl.

I couldn't be there for the tests, okay?

- Did you find her? - No.

Hey.

What's wrong?

It's Vincent.

- He's in trouble. - He always is.

This time it's serious.

- The police think it's him. - Vincent?

- Micha�l? - Go ahead.

There's a suspect vehicle and blood. I'm going in the warehouse.

We're coming don't go in alone. Wait for back-up.

Muller... can you hear me?

Shit...

Anybody there?

Muller, can you hear me?

Micha�l?

Shit.

Chlo�.

No�mie?

No�mie!

Shit.

Hi, Micha�l.

What's inside?

Jessica?

- What's wrong'? - He's here.

He's coming back.

Chlo�, are you okay?

She's out there somewhere.

You did what needed to be done.

Next time wait for me.

Thanks.
