All language subtitles for Van Der Valk 2020 S04E01 720p WEB H264-PUKPUK5-NH

What are you doing, Gregor?

Taking in the
sunset while I can.

You'll see a lot more sunsets if
you don't stand by the window.

At least I can see
someone coming.

Not if they have a rifle.

I thought you were meant
to make me feel safe.

Nope.

I'm meant to get you
to the hearing tomorrow.

I just want it all over.

Just stay away from
the window, OK?

Or I'll shoot you myself.

Baz?

Not expecting anyone?

No.

Did you order anything?

No, of course not.

Yep?

We might have a problem.

Everything OK with your witness?

Sure. All good here.

Keep me in the loop with yours.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

It's me, man.

It's me.

Jesus Christ, Anton!

What the hell are you doing?

I bought food.

I thought we might discuss
a few things, you know.

Security gave me
clearance to come straight up.

So why not take the elevator?

I hate elevators.

I get claustrophobic.

You heading up?

Yeah.

I'm gonna try to get some rest.

Good idea.

Big day tomorrow.

Tell me, Kalie...

..do you think the sins of
the past come back to haunt?

I wouldn't know.

Not got any.

Keep it that way.

Hey. Hey.

Find somewhere to
keep an eye? Yeah.

There's a roof
terrace right opposite.

Keep me posted. I'm
heading there now.

You see anything
suspicious, I want to know.

Got it.

Victim - Gregor Albers, 52,

one of the whistleblowers
against Bibi Franken.

He was her driver
for decades, right?

Wife left him and the
country, taking the kids.

We're sending someone
over to break the news.

Well, something tells me
that won't be a surprise.

Bibi Franken was never
going to take kindly to betrayal.

Didn't waste any time, though.

Tomorrow is only a
preliminary hearing.

If it goes ahead.

I've sent Eddie to watch
the other safe house.

The one where Daan Franken is.

She wouldn't seriously kill her
own son, though, would she?

This is Bibi Franken
we're talking about.

He was about to dish the dirt on
their entire drug dealing empire.

I thought he was the chosen
one about to take over.

Well, he was. Something
must have changed.

So, how'd the
killer get in here?

I'm not sure yet.

Got a protection
officer. Security.

Yeah, well...

..about that.

Oh, great.

Like the day could
get any worse.

Wow.

No wonder the killer got him.

Love you too, sweet cheeks.

Is there a corpse anywhere?
I need cheering up.

I'll brief Dahlman, leave
you two to get reacquainted.

Yeah. Please don't.
Please don't do that.

Still a charmer, then.

Oh, this is him mellowed.

Wow. You've got my sympathy.

Good evening, Piet.

And what a fine one it is.

Huh. Doesn't sound it.
Right. What have we got?

Well...

Strangled with a
shower curtain, right?

Well, there's strangled
with a shower curtain

and strangled with
a shower curtain.

The difference being... Of
no interest to me whatsoever.

So how'd the killer get him?
Was it through the window?

Careless.

Gregor must have opened it.

As I was saying... And
you didn't hear anything?

You should have
heard something, surely.

Oh, you think so? Says the
man who could never listen.

Well, you don't have to listen when
you've heard it a thousand times.

Oh, sorry. Did I
push your button?

You couldn't find my
button with a satnav.

Wow. Do you two want to get a room,
or can we please talk strangulation?

By all means. By
all means. Good.

You see, the ligature mark on
the neck itself is much broader...

Do you want to show me
the route you let them in?

Want to get over yourself? No.

No, no, no.

You're fine, you're fine.

We'll be alright. Won't we?

Any footwear prints?

Disturbance to the greenery?

Still looking.

Haven't found any yet.

So where were you exactly?

Downstairs at the front.

Security is not
an exact science.

Stuff happens. Right?

And for what it's worth,
I don't feel good about it.

Gregor was a decent man.

He worked for the Frankens.

You want to talk me
through what happened?

I went upstairs to check on him.

Can't have been more than
five minutes after he went up.

And that's when
you found him? Yeah.

Alerted the officers who
were watching the area.

Called the other safe
house to warn them.

Tried to resuscitate Gregor.

Worked on him for
about 10 minutes.

Officers closed down the area.

Got here seven, maybe
eight minutes later.

Killer had already gone.

No sign.

How?

If officers were in the area.

According to your timeline...

..killer had a maximum
of maybe, what,

20, 25 minutes to kill Gregor
Albers and then get away.

It was dusk.

The woods around
here are pretty dense.

He must have slipped through.

Oh, you think?

I do.

What's the alternative?

Well, I guess, you
being the murderer,

I guess that sort
of crossed my mind.

Right.

I get it.

So I kill Gregor and then hang
around to make a fool of you.

Well, good point.

Because that's not
going to happen.

Mm.

Any other theories?

Did you check the
rest of the house?

I'm not even going to
answer that question.

Right. Can you do me a favour?

Probably not.

You cover the back of the house.

Why? Because I asked.

Not a late night
last night, I hope.

In bed by three.

Ah, could be worse.

There's only one way in
and one way out, right?

Yeah.

This floor's clear,
apart from the bathroom.

Psst. Out, now.

I'm busy.

Yeah, that wasn't a request.

It's all clear in here.

Yeah. Nothing
happened in here either.

You know, I really can't
work under these conditions.

Tough.

Ah, isn't it just?

Hey!

I thought I told you to get out.

I never do what
you tell me to, Piet.

You know that.

Um, he'll be out for
about 10, maybe 15.

But when he comes around,
be like a bear with a sore head.

So, just so you know.

See you back at the station.

And, uh, don't
mention it, by the way.

Oh. You didn't.

Yeah, well, I think you
might have missed something.

Oh...

Hiding here the whole time.

Safehouse compromised
from the beginning.

Puts on the forensic gear.

Waits for his moment.

Just strolls out.

Well, it could have worked.

We combed the place.

Well, clearly not.

Everything was in place.

Security, backup,

risk assessments.

Who chose the safe house?

Powers that be.

Well above my pay grade. But it
was vetted, checked, double checked.

I did it myself.

You could have been followed.

I'd like to think not.

Well, that's a yes.

Do you know anything about this?

I've never seen it before.

It was in his wallet.

It's a notice of
death from last year.

Sophie Lamon, 26.

All it says is, "Died in
mysterious circumstances."

Does that mean anything to you?

No.

Why carry that around?

Maybe he wanted us to find
it if anything happened to him.

She's referred to as
a "beloved daughter".

Or it could be his daughter.

Hmm. Well, I'll check.

He was clearly
troubled by something.

Asked me if I thought the sins
of the past come back to haunt.

Christ, I hope not.

I reckon what's done
is done, don't you think?

Couldn't agree more.

How's it going on your end?

Yeah.

It's cold and dull,
but perfect view.

Everyone's safe?

Yep.

Who's there?

There's three people inside.

The state prosecutor said it would
be up to us if we want to go ahead.

It's your call.

Look...

The whole point was
drawing a line in the sand

and finally saying to
my mother, "No more."

All I'm saying is, no-one would
blame you if you pulled out.

Oh, Jesus...

What about you guys, huh?

I mean, I'm not the only
one whose life's in danger.

Been waiting for years to
get something on your mother.

No offence.

None taken.

And what about you?

It's my job.

No reason to choke just
because an attack got more likely.

Besides, we've planned
for that possibility.

Alright.

Well, then, there's
no need to sleep on it.

We go ahead.

Didn't wake you, did I?

Ah, I wish.

I'm starving, man.

Run out of food hours ago.

Fasting is good
for you, apparently.

Listen, can't someone cover me?
Where's Citra when you need her?

Greek islands.

Our loss is Europol's gain.

Right, keep your eyes peeled.

How's my favourite girl?

Come on.

I'm fine, thanks.

Daan Franken's agreed to
continue with the hearing.

Has he got a death
wish or something?

Maybe he's just brave.

That's one word for it.

Where's the hearing happening?

State-run high-security
compound outside the city.

He'll be fine once he's there.

Yeah, if he gets there.

Oh, he will.

Because you're going
to go in the car with him.

Are you trying to
get rid of me as well?

No, I'm trying to make sure
that assuming Bibi Franken

is behind all this, she's
finally brought to justice.

We've been here before,
though, haven't we?

She has an annoying
habit of buying judges.

Yeah, there is that.

I mean, security didn't exactly
shower themselves in glory.

We need to look into that.

Kalie Tenkers, I gather?

Kalie's one of ours.

You really think she
could be involved?

Well, we can't rule her out.

Gregor Albers was
killed on her watch,

and the one thing we know for sure
is that security was compromised.

Mm.

So who have we got
with Daan Franken?

We haven't.

Daan Franken's a free man
and refused police security.

Went with a private
firm run by Baz van Zijl.

Right. Let's check him out.

I already have.

Ex-Special Forces.
Highly decorated.

A lot of undercover work.

Security for the royal family.

Then branched out
and set up a private firm.

Daan Franken's clearly
paying for the best.

Maybe he's not as
stupid as I thought.

You alright?

Do we know where
Bibi Franken is?

Wherever she wants to be.

Her lawyer's got her
bail pending the hearing.

We think she's at
her country residence.

Well, 'think'? Why
don't we know?

Well, her muscle won't let us
pass the gate without a warrant.

Yeah. Not very friendly.

What about the other son?

The one who runs
the vegan cafes?

Xavi.

Very hip, very eco.

Arguably the only one not
involved in the family business.

Yeah, but he could have used
family money to set up the business.

But it's still sort of
Franken lite, I guess.

Let's talk to him.

We got anything on the woman in
the death notice, Sophie Lommel?

Not yet.

But whoever she is, she doesn't
seem to be Gregor Alber's daughter.

The kids that we know about
are all abroad with his ex.

I've asked Eddie to run
her through the system.

He's meant to be
watching the safe house.

He can multitask, you know?

And who's the lawyer
acting for Daan Franken?

Anton de Haas, representing both
Daan Franken and Gregor Albers.

Anton.

Nice guy.

Hasn't won a
high-profile case in years.

He's hardly going to have
Bibi quaking in her boots.

No-one else
wanted to take it on.

I wonder why.

Right. Medical examiner
has cleared our murderer,

Jacko Gallas, for questioning.

That's me.

You coming?

Yada yada yada.

That's your problem, Jacko.

You just don't know
when to stop, do you?

It's making my ears bleed.

What really intrigues us,
though, is your little hidey hole.

That wasn't exactly
improvised, was it?

Meaning you had
access to the safehouse

before anyone was even there.

How's that work, then?

We checked your CV.

Pickpocket turned petty thief.

And then you get
in with the Frankens,

and you've done plenty for them.

Beatings mainly.

So what?

What if I have?

Is Daan Franken next?

Is that the plan?

Lie low there for a bit, then
go for Daan this morning?

Or was that someone else's gig?

No. We're wasting our time.

He's not going to talk.

Well, I'm doing my best there.

Must be some
technique we can employ.

Shoot him in the kneecaps?

A waterboarding.

Erm... OK.

Can you do it this
time? Oh, yeah.

I mean, we could
always just leak

that he had a severe
attack of the verbals.

Yeah.

Didn't exactly seem
bothered, did he?

Maybe he thinks Bibi and her
lawyers would get him out of here.

They usually do.

Hey. Hey.

Debrief with your boss.

I've already given
her the headlines.

I'll bet you have.

Um, the protection officer at
the other safe house, Baz van Zijl,

what's he like?

A pro. Smart. Thorough.
Good on detail.

You could learn a thing or two.

Oh, lovely. Thanks for that.

Is he vetted? 100%.

I'll head over to
the safe house later.

Extra backup.

Oh, we're already
covered on that.

Kalie, how nice
to see you again.

Come in.

Don't fancy a debrief
with Tenkers, then?

No, I don't.

Been there, done that.

Didn't enjoy it the first time.

Oh, maybe the universe has
thrown you back together for a reason.

Yeah, well, that would be
one messed up universe.

Besides, me and Lena, we're in
a very, very good place right now.

Thank you very much.

That explains it, then.

It's the universe
throwing you a curveball.

Can you stop
enjoying this so much?

Is this still about Mandy?

I don't want to talk about it.

Alright.

Oh.

Must be hard looking over
your shoulder the whole time.

Well...

You get used to it, you know.

Come in.

Judging by your reaction, you
probably figured why we're here.

Is it the healthy food?

Try Gregor Alber's death.

Had you heard?

We need to talk to your mother.

Ah, yeah. You've, um,
come to the wrong place.

It's not really her thing,
serving food in a cafe.

Besides, in case you
haven't heard, we're...

Yeah, we're not close.

Oh, we'd heard, alright. Yeah.

But like any son, you
can always call your mum.

See how she is,
what she's been up to.

"You ordered any
hits this week, Mum?"

You know the kind of thing.

Her business, it's, um...
it's not my business.

Even if she's about to
take out your brother?

Is that what you want?

You're not close to him, either.

Look, um...

Whatever my... my mother

and my brother, they get up to,

it's nothing to do with me.

I work hard to distance myself.

Sure. Yeah, I bet
it's hard, isn't it?

You know, to cut the
apron strings entirely.

We heard mum
bankrolls your cafes.

Blood money, right?

Give your mum a call.

Tell her I want a chat.

Van der Valk.

She knows me.

She'd be thrilled.

Eddie? Cherokee just turned up.

Two passengers.

The male definitely shifty.

Are you getting bored, Eddie?

That, Inspector Hassell,

is the hunger kicking in.

I hope that coffee's for me.

Coffee makes you hyper.

We got Sophie Lommel.

Tech identified an address
for Sophie Lommel's mother

in the north.

Yeah, her name's Maud.

Good. Send it over.

You might not be able to
see it from where you are.

There's a van parked up
across the street from us.

It's probably nothing, but
you want to check it out?

Maybe get some
breakfast while you're at it.

Yeah. OK.

Bye.

What are your
thoughts on the van?

You got mud-caked tyres
in the middle of the city.

Van across the road.

Is that one of yours?

Not that I know of.

There's no need to
check. We're on it.

Now...

..about the murder
of Gregor Albers.

Yeah. Any leads on the killer?

Yeah. Just one.

It's Jacko Gallas, probably
just obeying orders.

Your mother's, I should imagine.

We think she might
order a hit on you as well.

Oh, for sure.

I know where the
bodies are buried.

Which is why I'm coming
with you to the hearing.

No offence, but I'm in
charge of Daan's security.

Everything's been
arranged. It's all in place.

Everything had been arranged
at the last safe house as well.

No disrespect, but
I'm here under orders.

That's not really
your jurisdiction, is it?

Well, the murder
investigation is.

And if I know the
killer's next target,

why let him out of my sight?

Oh, I didn't know you cared.

Oh, I don't. Believe me.

But it's my job to protect
people, whoever they are.

Mine, too.

Oh, there we go, then. Singing
from the same hymn sheet.

It's alright, Baz.

I trust him.

He's been a thorn
in my mother's side.

She can't stand his
stubborn incorruptibility.

And there was me
thinking it was my charm.

Ha!

What specifically was Gregor
Albers going to say in the hearing

that got him killed?

That's confidential.

It's also relevant.

Sorry. Lawyer-client privilege.

Your client's dead.

We found a newspaper
clipping in his wallet.

It was death in
mysterious circumstances.

Sophie Lommel?

Yeah.

You've clearly heard of her.

Sophie Lommel. Who is she?

And what are you thinking?

OK, we'll get back to that.

You want to head
over to Maud Lommel's?

I'll be fine here.

Who is it?

Xavi Franken.

He rang his mother. Says
she wants to meet you.

Yeah, it's not really
convenient right now.

I'm a bit busy.

Are you sure? Yeah,
a million per cent.

Or she can hand
herself in at the station.

I'll see her there.

I'm easy. Either way.

You got that, I take it.

I think you just added
yourself to Bibi's hit list.

I'm flattered.

Yeah?

He turned me down, did he?

How do you go from
protecting royalty to him?

I try not to judge.

Money probably
helps too, I guess.

Are you always this cynical?

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Always.

Oh, and sometimes more.

Today's actually...

..well, it's quite
an optimistic day.

He's also doing the right thing.

I'm more than aware of
his mother's reputation.

I'm more than happy to
help Daan bring her down.

Very admirable.

Although you're not going
to do that with this route.

That's not the way to go.

You've got roadworks here, here.

If that backs up, we're
going to be sitting ducks.

We've got it covered.

Security at various
points along the route.

Don't worry about it.

Oh, I'm not, because I'm
not stupid and nor are you.

Which is why you've
changed the route.

So you're going to tell me what
the actual route is and not the decoy.

And I'm in no
mood to play games.

Two brains are safer than one.

I'm all ears.

OK.

Hi.

I'm sorry to bother you, but I
need to ask some questions

about your daughter, Sophie.

Bit late, isn't it?

You guys weren't
interested at the time.

All I could do to get
a return phone call.

We're here now. So can
you tell us what happened?

No-one knows...

..apparently.

All I was told is that Sophie
was heading home from work.

It was about 1:00
in the morning.

She got hit by a car.

Killed outright.

And the case went
unsolved because...?

Whoever did this
vanished into thin air.

No witnesses, no CCTV, nothing.

Really?

Where was this?

Times Square.

Exactly.

As central as it gets.

May I?

What did your
daughter do for a living?

I'm not sure.

We lost touch
about five years ago.

It was always just
me and Sophie.

Her father was
never in her life.

Maybe she missed a
stabilising influence, I don't know.

She became quite a rebel.

We fell out over
her partying and...

And... what?

I threw her out.

I have to live with that.

Sorry, we're not open yet.

Hm.

And you're not about to.

How's Van der Valk?

Piet?

Mm.

I haven't seen him in months.

Mr Palache...

..lying is not a good look.

Guess you'd know all about that.

Let's consider this your
first and last warning.

In the meantime, I'm going to
need your friend's telephone number.

Eddie. Where are you?

Call me.

Daan, not that one.

You're on the second car.

Anton, you go in first.

We'll follow.

If anyone saw you arrive,

that's the one they'll be
expecting you to leave in.

Instead of which I'm in it.

So I'm expendable, am I?

Well...

..that's why we pay you so much.

Better be bullet-proof.

Yeah, we're all good.

Hey.

We're on the move. Have
you heard from Eddie?

No. I'll head over to
the security compound.

Piet, ask them again
about Sophie Lommel.

There's something not
right about her death.

OK. Let's go.

Why did you turn against her?

Did not get enough
love as a child?

Not a big enough train set?

You know, maybe you
coming was a bad idea.

Word was you were on the verge

of taking over your
mother's entire operation.

Extortion. Money laundering.

You shouldn't believe
the rumour mill.

My mother's problem
was not keeping her word.

I wanted to take the
business in a different direction.

What, new areas of criminality?

Tech?

Identity theft?

What?

Don't tell me you were
planning on going legit?

Why not?

Half the operation is already.

Wow. Wasn't expecting that.

Can we change the subject?

Sure.

Let's talk about
Sophie Lommel instead.

There you go.

That's the second time you
twitched at the mention of her name.

Why is she relevant?

You know, you could tell
me everything you know,

in case you don't make it.

Are we good?

All good.

Got the bike?

Yeah.

But we've also got
the car behind us.

Been tailing us a while.

We've got a decoy up ahead.

You didn't tell me about that.

I didn't know we
might be followed.

We're going to turn right
at the junction ahead.

If we were being followed,
we're not anymore.

Trust me now?

Eddie, where are you?

So what happens when
we're inside the compound?

We breathe again.

We'll be safe there.

Distance between
park up and entrance?

About 10 metres.

That's 10 metres too much.

Pull over to the
side of the building.

OK. What's going on?

Daan, stay here.

Don't move till I say.

Let him through. He's a lawyer.

We need him...

OK, you can go through.

You take care of him?

How can I work this way?

This way, sir.

Think we're good?

Daan!

Get out!

Get out now!

Piet!

Piet!

Piet!

Oh!

I'm waiting for you.

You should have met me earlier.

You OK?

She was here.

Kalie.

Of course I was.

What are you doing here?

My job.

Guess it's not just
me they screwed over.

Baz was caught in the explosion.

The ambulance is on its way.

OK, let's check the building.

You're going to be alright.

No point me telling
you to go home.

Uh, Daan Franken confirmed dead,

as is the driver.

Security officer Baz
van Zijl took a hit.

He's been rushed to hospital.

Has anyone heard from Eddie?

No.

Something's wrong, but we've
got a search and rescue team out,

and we're checking surveillance
cameras near the safe house.

OK... But he's my priority now.

Not yours.

I want you to
focus on this case.

The best chance we have
of finding Eddie is to solve it.

How do we think
Eddie was rumbled?

Maybe the van across the road.

Or the same way they know about
the safe houses - a mole, a bug.

Kalie. Kalie has clearance.

She was meant to be here
with Gregor Albers, remember?

And she's checking
with security right now

to find out how there
might have been a breach.

Double check.

Because someone had
access to plant a bomb here.

And Bibi Franken
knows all about it.

She rang me just after, said...

Ye...

She said I should
have met her earlier.

Seriously?

That's an admission
of guilt right there.

Can't we just haul
her in for questioning?

Yeah, not based on a phone call.

How did she get your number?

I don't know. She's
messing with us.

Right.

Whatever way you want
to play this, it's fine by me.

If you want me to
cut you some slack,

I need to be kept in the loop.

Non-negotiable. OK?

And you don't go anywhere
near Bibi Franken without backup.

Or without me.

That clear enough for you?

Crystal.

Oh, damn it, Piet.

I thought I was finally
going to get you on my slab.

Sorry to disappoint.

I imagine time and cause of
death you're all across, yeah?

Yeah. Give or take.

Well, plenty to discover.

You'd be surprised how much
you can learn from body parts

and blast injuries.

Cheerio.

The lawyer remained
unscathed, right?

Maybe he rang Bibi.

Let's go.

I'm OK.

You're a lucky man.

Not really.

Lost both witnesses.

Case closed.

Well, we're missing an officer,
which kind of changes everything.

You know anything about that?

No, how would I?

The van across the road, I
mentioned it to you, Daan and Baz.

Did you pass that on?

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

Sophie Lommel -

she's the manager of a chain
of bars owned by the Frankens.

So she was on the
payroll until she wasn't.

Yeah, Daan Franken twitched
every time I mentioned her name.

And Gregor Albers carried
a notice of her death.

Did they have
something to do with that?

Well, I take that as a yes.

I need to see your phone.

Check your recent calls.

Right.

Bibi Franken rang, said
she was waiting for me.

You got any idea where?

How would I know?

Well, you know how she operates.

Where would she wait for me?

Wherever would mess
with your head the most.

Ah, in this one...

..Daan's, like, six.

Building sandcastles
on the beach.

That's... There's Xavi.

So sweet together.

Hmm. They were so close.

Precious memories.

They were such happy days.

You took your time.

You alright, mate?

Reasonable.

He's anything but reasonable.

For some reason, he didn't want
to give us your telephone number,

so we had to, um, loosen
his grip to liberate his phone.

Could have just
rung the station.

Oh, no, no, no, it's much better
to come to your little hideout.

We even thought
about your scabby boat.

Where's Sergeant Suleman?

Please. Sit.

You like your games, don't you?

I like to make my presence felt.

I like to be in control.

Which is why the present
situation concerns me.

Please... sit.

No, thanks. What do you want?

Same as you - to
find out who did this.

Are you joking?

Got children?

Not yet.

Well, if and when you do,

perhaps you'll understand
what it might feel like

for someone to
take your child's life.

I didn't have you down as
the sentimental mother type.

Sentimental?

No.

Vengeful?

Yeah.

What have you done
with Sergeant Suleman?

We have Jacko Gallas in custody
for the murder of Gregor Albers.

Did you order that killing?

Seriously, if I wanted Gregor dead,
I wouldn't have got Jacko to do it.

So where does
Sophie Lommel fit in?

Who? She managed
some venues of yours.

You want to tell us about her?

That'll be a no, then.

It's funny that. I got the
same response from your son.

Just before you killed him.

The pain of losing
Daan is... unimaginable.

And yet, here you are.

My strength lies in my
resilience, my virtue in my pride.

I didn't kill my son.

People often murder
people they love.

I mean, both Gregor
and Daan betrayed you.

They're men.

It's in their DNA.

Let me get this straight.

Two people on their way
to a preliminary hearing

to give information
against you are killed.

If not by you, then who?

Maybe I've got a friend.

Thought they were
doing me a favour. Right.

Or more likely, an enemy who
wants to pin a double murder on me.

Well, why wouldn't they
let the legal process do that?

Cynics seem to
think I buy judges.

Do you?

I want to know who did
this as much as you do.

Whether you want
to blame me or not.

So why don't we work together?

What do you say?

We say no.

Right. I'm going home.

Stop by any time.

I mean, we could
just arrest you.

You could try.

Lena.

What are you doing here?

I, uh, got a message to come.

Ah. Isn't that nice?

You've found happiness
at last, have we?

Oh, sorry about that.

That was us that called you.

Just, you know, so
everyone could be together.

Do you have Bibi
Franken's fingerprints on file?

Never been arrested.

Well, you got them now.

Nice one.

We'll bag it.

They found Eddie's phone...
roadside where the van was parked.

You were right.

Van was parked
up in a blind spot.

Were Tech able to
follow where it went?

Only briefly. And then
the cameras just lost it.

Ah, OK. OK.

You OK?

Yeah. I mean, it
ruined the jacket, but...

See you later?

Yeah.

Guess what happened to me.

Well, you didn't do it,
'cause you were here.

So who did?

You know her?

Well, it looks to
me like you do.

She ran a string of
bars for the Frankens.

So?

I don't know everyone
that works for them.

Maybe I've seen her
around. I don't know.

One of my officers is missing.

You know anything about that?

So it's you and how many more?

Why don't you ask Bibi?

So, no mention of Bibi earlier.

Now he's pointing the finger.

He lied about Sophie
Lommel, too. He knew her.

It was written
all over his face.

So what are we saying?

She worked for the Frankens

and her death was something
to do with Gregor and Daan?

Maybe she knew something,
and they silenced her.

What do we know
about her family?

Uh, just the mother. Maud.

No father named on the birth
certificate, but I asked for a name.

Michael Becker.

Michael Becker.

Well, let's check him out.

Piet.

Post-mortem on
Daan Franken reveals

several tiny particles of bone
fragments containing lithium.

Now, I'm no bomb expert...

Well...

Oh, just spit it out.

It's consistent with
certain types of batteries

used to power electronics.

Hmm? Fits with detonation
via, what, smartphone.

Great. Thanks.

Couldn't do it
without you, Hendrik.

Uh, what he means is,
what does that tell us?

Bomb was detonated.

Triggered remotely.

Probably via wireless
communication.

Now, if I was a betting man...

Which you are.

Bomber would need to
be quite close to the scene.

Like, at the scene.

Boom!

Hey.

She's pleased to see you.

Yeah. Probably just
smelled the cordite.

Eddie?

No news.

It's not your fault.

Really?

I asked Eddie to check the van.

I mentioned the van to
Baz, Daan and Anton.

Yeah, but Anton
denied all knowledge.

Daan's dead,

and Baz is injured in hospital.

He's hardly going to blow up a
bomb when he's stood right next to it.

And for the record, we've done
a sweep of both safehouses

and all the vehicles.

There's no bugs.

Well, it must be Kalie, then.

Oh, yeah. About that...

Oh, talk of the devil.

A word. Now. Please.

Your department accessed my file

and have been asking
questions about me.

If you want another
date, just ask me.

Oh! I don't.

Why are you resisting
my involvement?

Always did.

Not how I remember it, Babyface.

Yeah. Can you not
call me that, please?

Well, I'll call you what I want.

OK.

Let's just keep the
past out of it, shall we?

The point is, you
could be the killer.

I'd need motive.

To kill you? Yes.

Gregor? No.

Daan? Why?

Anything else to go on?

Yeah.

Yeah. I've, uh... I've
seen your temper.

I thought we were
keeping the past out of this.

Not to mention your
complete lack of empathy.

Coming from you?

Wow.

Oh, not just me.

Not just me.

I have my sources.

Your dog is not a source!

My dog is dead!

I know.

And it's not my fault he died,

and it's not my fault
he didn't like me.

She!

Mandy was a she.

Can we get back
to the case? Please.

Whatever Gregor
had done in the past,

like us, he was
trying to get over it.

Like us, he was
trying to move on.

And like us, he was
doing the right thing.

My job, my promise to him
was to protect him, and I failed.

I mean, if you're
asking to help out...

I'm not. Alright.

I'm not asking for
anything. I'm telling you.

I'm working on this case,
whether you like it or not.

I know the guys who run
security at the compound.

Me and Baz liaised with
them over this whole thing.

I want to know who did this.

Because it matters.

Because it means something.

Because it hurts.

Is this you bluffing?

Do you know what
your problem is, Piet?

No, but I'd love you to tell me.

Trust.

Why is that?

Where did that come from?

You never did say.

Maybe one day you'll explain
that to whoever is in your life.

Maybe not trusting is why
you're a good detective,

but it doesn't make you the
best human being in the world.

I trust my team.

And I trust my instincts.

Really?

What do your instincts
tell you right now about me?

Innocent or guilty?

Which is it?

Innocent.

But I could be bluffing.

Did you get a confession
out of Kalie, then?

You know, she
could be quite useful.

Don't you start.

What's this about you
thinking of having kids?

Not yet, you said.

I'm not ruling it in,
I'm not ruling it out.

You never mentioned it before.

Would that be on your
own or with someone?

Don't know.

You ever thought about it?

Me?

Don't be ridiculous.

How'd you find me?

Oh, all the washed
up lawyers drink here.

We figured you'd be
drowning your sorrows.

Trust me now, do we?

Not necessarily.
No, it could be guilt.

But we need a favour.

Is that out of the question?

Not in a civilised world.

But this isn't a
civilised world, is it?

And there was us hoping that
you were a nice kind of guy.

Nice guys finish last.

So, yeah, I'm
all out of favours.

We need to read everything
you got on the case.

Research, evidence,
testimonies, the lot.

I can't do that.

Uh, lawyer-client, blah blah.

I know. What do you got to lose?

Accreditation,
career, reputation.

Oh, your reputation's
shot anyway.

I'd be struck off.

What if Bibi's being framed?

What if I'm Jimmy Stewart?

We're serious.

Who stands to benefit
if Bibi's put away?

Humanity as a whole.

We need to figure out
what's going on and why.

And to do that, we
need everything you got.

Nope.

More drinks.

Well, you can do what you want,

but I'm going to fight
for this lost cause

and every other lost
cause in goddamn history.

And do you know why?

Because once justice
walks out of the building,

once truth walks
out of the door,

we're all shot.

Jimmy Stewart. Mr Smith
Goes To Washington.

No, that's not it.

I know that film backwards,
and that's not in it.

OK, I made it up, but
that's not the point.

The answer is no.

You know what really bothers me?

I work all the hours God gives.

No social life, no
partner, no sleep.

I'm a joke to everyone.

And for what?

I don't even have the
money to look after my offices.

Broken windows at the back.

Loose hinges... fit to
drop at any second.

Stop there.

Hold that. Alright!

Just here.

Keep it steady. Keep it steady.

Ha. Even better.

Like a herd of bloody elephants.

Come on, then,
where do we start?

We're looking for anything
on Sophie Lommel.

Needle in a haystack, right?

I'm not sure about that.

Cash flow reports

for every bar Sophie Lommel ran.

Got the draft accounts
and the official ones.

And there's a big
difference between the two.

Money laundering.

If Sophie Lommel was money
laundering for them, why kill her?

I'm not sure she was.

She didn't sign off on them.

Someone else did.

Xavi Franken.

Right.

Maybe we'll pop
in for breakfast.

Did you get any sleep?

No.

No news on Eddie, I take it?

Uh-huh.

It's OK. It's locked.

Hey.

Hey.

I bought you a coffee.

Double espresso
macchiato, right?

Right.

Oh, sorry.

I didn't expect him
to have company.

Why not?

Oh, you... you clearly
haven't known him long.

I've known him quite a while...

..actually.

You?

Uh, Lena, this is, um...

..um...

Oh... Kalie. That's it.

Kalie... that's Lena.

Nice to meet you.

How come you knew how to get in?

Oh, she's... she's, um...

..she's police security.

She's very good
at picking locks.

Very tricksy.

I know where the spare
key lives. He showed me.

Did he, now?

I don't recall.

Me and him used to be, um...

Got that.

It ended badly.

In fact, it didn't... it didn't...
it didn't start well, either.

Middle any good?

Not great, not great.

Why are you here?

I think I found your bomber.

Goes by the name
of Frans Tanner.

We know.

No, you don't.

The head of security at the
compound checked everyone

who had access yesterday.

Only there's no official
record of him working there.

You could just be
feeding me this. Hmm.

Or... you could trust me.

And for what it's worth...

..I'm sorry about Mandy.

Mandy?

Did I ever tell you why I
fuss over Dahlman's dogs

but don't have my own?

Because you don't
want the responsibility.

That wasn't always the case.

Before Sniffer, before Trojan...

..I had a rescue dog, Mandy.

She got ill.

What's that got
to do with Kalie?

She didn't like her.

Well, maybe she's
not a dog person.

No, no, no. Mandy
didn't like Kalie.

Kalie was with her
when she passed.

I was at work.

And I regret that the last
thing she saw was Kalie.

And that's why you ended it?

Well, not entirely,
but it didn't help.

She's a bit in
your face as well.

I definitely wasn't
ready for that then.

Are you ready for that now?

With you?

Yeah.

Long night, right?

Longer morning.

Although this guy, Frans Tanner?

Not legit security.

Let's check the military.

If he's our bomber,
he knows explosives.

Where did you get this?

Kalie.

It's useful.

Maybe we should loop her in.

Yeah. Maybe you
should think again.

Hiya.

Not off work with grief, then?

Um, yeah, I've got
a business to run.

Yeah, we want a word about that.

Can I? Yeah.

Hang on a minute.
Hang on, hang on.

Just, uh, checking
there's no bomb.

Can you not do that?

I like the feel of this place.

Good vibe.

Wholesome.

Really like the name.

So, uh... on brand.

Venus Flytrap?

Named after a plant that looks
great and then kills mercilessly.

Where did you get the
inspiration for that from?

I don't know, it just...
just came to me.

We need to talk to you
about money laundering.

Oh, you got any sesame
seeds to go with the acai berries?

I think we're out
of them. Right.

Was it your mum who taught
you how to money launder?

I mean, the apple doesn't
fall far from the tree, does it?

Even if it is organic.

Look...

OK, what makes you think

I have anything to do
with money laundering?

Oh, I'm sorry, I
can't divulge sources.

Do you want the Venus
porridge or the granola bowl?

Mm. Venus. Every time.

Of course, you get
why we're asking.

Your dear old mum, she's
fine, by the way. Yeah.

I'd say she sends her
regards, but she didn't.

Funny that.

Anyway, she insists she's
innocent of the murders.

Which only makes sense if
someone else is responsible for them.

Someone else who stood to
lose if the hearing took place.

Yeah, well, someone like you.

Oh, my God.

And not just this chain
of restaurants, either.

There's also the bars
that Sophie Lommel ran.

She's dead too.

Yeah, was Sophie Lommel
involved in the money laundering?

Something go wrong?

What?

Look, I...

I have no idea what you
guys are talking about.

We can't do this
at the police station.

Only, the food,
it's not as good.

Yeah. Maybe you
should talk to my lawyer.

Come on, don't be like that.

I don't care if you
cook the books,

but I do care about dead people.

You know this
guy, by any chance?

We think he might have
blown your brother to bits.

Why?

So, I think we should
do this through lawyers.

I gave them a call.

Right.

You are a forensics guy, man.

Not a doctor.

You shouldn't
jump to conclusions.

No, my work's all
about conclusions,

certainties, deductions,
endings, facts.

Anyway, I am a doctor.

Not for people with a pulse.

You're going to tell Piet? No.

Nor are you.

I'm going to go to work.

Got fingerprints to chase. Mm.

Take care, huh?

It's not going
well, is it, Jacko?

I mean, one, he got caught...

Two, we found out
about Frans Tanner.

Is he a friend of yours?

And three, despite
what you said earlier,

we don't think Bibi Franken's
responsible for the murders.

Which is what you wanted
us to think, wasn't it?

What was Sophie Lommel to you?

Just another low-life criminal?

Same as you, was she?

Started on the small
stuff, worked her way up.

You know nothing.

I know she's dead.

I know she was
money-laundering scum.

She had nothing to do with that.

Oh, yeah, she did. She
was up to her neck in it.

No, you've got it wrong.

No. She was as corrupt as hell.

No, she wasn't.

She refused to be part of it.

And that's why it's...

That's why what?

Come on. What
have you got to lose?

It's not like you're
going anywhere, is it?

Did Gregor Albers drive
the car that killed her?

Is that why you killed him?

Because she was your girlfriend.

Well, there's your
motive right there.

Yeah, that wasn't a sick cough.

It was a cough for attention.

Yeah, we're a bit busy.

Yeah, well, you're
gonna like this.

As a matter of routine,

Forensics took prints
of both safe houses.

I mean, of course they
did. It's their job to do it.

Say what you like
about Forensics,

they're very... forensic.

Should we pull
up chairs or what?

No, but you might want to
show some grace and dignity

and patience, Piet.

As you know,

Cliff rather deftly managed to
do what none of you lot have done

and took the fingerprints
of Bibi Franken.

OK. So?

Her fingerprints are all
over both safe houses.

Still no news on Eddie.

How the hell did Bibi Franken
get access to both safe houses?

Someone on the inside.

Mentioning no names, of course.

Begins with a K, ends in 'alie'.

Yeah, she speaks
very highly of you too.

Yeah, I bet she does.

Isn't the question not just how,

but why Bibi Franken
would visit the safe houses?

Does she need a reason?

Seems odd to me.

Frans Tanner isn't Frans Tanner.

There's no official record of him
anywhere, including the military.

So he knows how to fake an ID.

We got any news on Baz van Zijl?

Kept in overnight, but
going home today, thankfully.

Have we got any
footage of the explosion?

Sure.

If we think Jacko was
involved with Sophie,

could Frans Tanner be related?

Brother, maybe?

Well, her mother said
Sophie was an only child.

Yeah, just because Maud
Lommel only had one child

doesn't necessarily mean

Sophie didn't have
siblings or even half-siblings.

Dad could have had
kids with someone else.

What was the
father's name again?

Michael Becker.

Only we've drawn a
blank against him as well.

Maybe that's the point.

Frans Tanner, Michael Becker...

Someone knows how to fake IDs.

I know what we missed.

We need to get
Bibi Franken to talk.

Ow!

Ow!

OK.

I want answers, and
I want out of here.

So you better start talking now.

Just stay out of it. It's
none of your business.

You made it my business.

Argh!

I'm here for Bibi.

She'll see me.

The issue is what
do we do with that?

Yeah. Come.

Oh.

Who says crime doesn't pay?

Very cosy.

Is flying the nest
harder than you thought?

Or maybe families that
slay together, stay together?

So what is this, then?

Like a baseless
accusation? Another one?

The truth about Sophie
Lommel would be nice.

Or is that too much to ask?

Are you OK for air?

I imagine the oxygen is quite
thin up there on your high horse.

Surprised you don't
have a nosebleed.

We want to offer you a deal.

We don't do plea bargains. Hm.

Nor do we.

But we want to offer
you the opportunity

to come face to face
with your son's killer.

In exchange for...?

Using you as bait.

But you're going to have
to get rid of the muscle.

All the henchmen.

And why would we agree to that?

Your son's killer is
not going to turn up

when you're
surrounded by security.

And believe me, they will know.

I'm sorry.

Um...

Are... are you insane?

Yeah, maybe.

But that's why we'll be here.

Alright.

I agree.

Piet.

Bibi Franken's fingerprints -
it's a wild goose chase, I'm afraid.

I mean, yeah,
there's a lot of them,

but it doesn't mean she's
been in the safe houses.

Right. You might have
to explain that to me.

Well, they're all portable
items, you know, and I think

they've been planted here
and at the other safe house.

Bits and bobs, everyday
stuff she wouldn't have missed.

OK, that a former pickpocket
like Jacko could have stolen

without her knowing
to frame her?

Exactly. Clever, huh?

Look...

..I've not been on top
of my game, alright?

And, um, we've been
conned, and I fell for it.

No, you didn't.

What are you on
about? You figured it.

Thank you.

Hey, you miss me?

Eddie? Are you OK?

You know, just chillin'.

Got my assailant, though.

White male, early 20s.

Alright. The name's
Frans Tanner.

Only it's not.

We need to find out
who he is urgently.

How?

I don't know, just
think of something.

Heard they were discharging you.

Yeah, thank God. I'm
not the best patient.

How's the case going?

We're getting there.

I can't really
discuss it in detail,

apart from, to say,

Bibi Franken's being framed

and I need to know who by.

This yard I'm in,
I've checked it out,

and I know who Frans Tanner is.

Turns out it's a family affair.

Sophie Lommel
was his half-sister.

And I know who the father is.

How are we doing
with Bibi Franken?

She agreed.

Baz van Zijl?

Yeah. Yeah, he'll play ball.

I spoke to a Special
Forces veteran

who worked undercover
with Michael Becker.

You were right.

It's a fake name.

Turns out it's
quite a family affair.

Frans

is Sophie's half-brother,

working with her father,

who we happen to know.

Eddie figured it.

He's in one piece.
He's bringing Frans in.

He's fine.

Thank God.

Oh, and you two, be careful.

Sure.

We have backup.

Got any, uh, guns
hidden anywhere?

We keep our side of the bargain.

You keep yours.

You guys are
professional, right?

Am I going to look out the
window or are you going to help me?

The killer's a pro.
Won't come in the front.

And what makes you think he
or she is going to come at all?

We said you were innocent
and would walk free.

Got the impression it
didn't go down too well.

I don't know.

Hey!

You can put the gun down.

Come on. We're all friends here.

Baz, meet the Frankens.

The Frankens, meet Baz van Zijl.

Or should I say, Michael Becker?

How did you know?

We watched the explosion.

You didn't run back to the car.

You raised your arm just
a split second too soon.

You knew what
was about to happen.

Just close enough to get
injured so we didn't suspect you,

but not close
enough to get killed.

Risky.

I wouldn't have
cared if I got killed.

So...

..you killed my son.

An eye for an eye and
a son for a daughter.

Sophie worked hard for
you, and she stood up to you,

unlike your pathetic,
spineless sons.

Now, now.

We were a real family.

Not like yours.

You don't have
that in your life,

and you never will.

We came to it late, but it
was all the stronger for that.

Forgive me if I don't cry.

I should kill you right now.

Come on.

You're not going to
kill her in cold blood.

You're a professional.

You want answers.

I'm done with answers.

Oh!

Looking for this?

OK.

You thought you
could take me on?

You were wrong.

Oh, I don't think so.

Let him go.

Guns on the floor. I mean it.

If you want your son
to live, start talking now.

Why did you have Sophie killed?

Mum, don't. Stop it!

Talk! Don't! Don't!

She wouldn't be bought.

She found out about
the money laundering

and threatened to go public.

Daan? Wanted to take over.

I needed a show of strength
to know he was... capable.

You got Daan to have Sophie killed
and then went back on your word?

Well, I changed my mind.

Xavier wanted to come
back under my wing.

He was always
stronger, more capable...

..trying to break
away and all that.

Sophie died for nothing!

Kill him. Don't! Don't!

She's with us.

We just needed the confession.

You're under arrest for ordering
the murder of Sophie Lommel.

Here we go.

Let's go. Yeah.

You know, there are ways
of bringing people down.

There's also the little people,
the ones nobody fights for.

I do.

Enjoy pointing the
gun at me, did you?

You know I did.

Thanks for ringing.

I didn't know you
still had my number.

No...

Lucienne gave it to me.

No, I didn't.

So, you trusted me in the end.

Maybe there's
hope for you after all.

See you around, Van der Valk.

Ah, there you are.

You want to get in?

Give you a lift
to the Scheltema.

I'd rather walk, to be honest.

Had enough of vehicles.

Let's walk, then.

If I get a ticket, I
won't be happy.
