(CAMERA BEEPS)

(TIMER BEEPS REPEATEDLY)

(PHONE RINGS)

MAN: Hey, sweetie.
Hey, Dan.

You gonna watch Ed's vlog?

Am I gonna watch Ed's vlog?
(LAUGHS) Yeah. You?

Of course. I can't wait.
It's all over social media.

It's gonna be explosive.

But we all know he can exaggerate. True.

Oh, Heidi not with you?

No, I'm not sure where she is.

I'll... I'll give her a call.
I'll catch you later.

(PHONE RINGS)

Hi, darling.

Hey, darling.

I can only see your ear. Where are you?

Yeah, I'm just popping to the bank.

You know, I can only see your ear, right?

Yeah. I'll see you later. I gotta go.

(HANGS UP)
Bye.

(ORCHESTRAL MUSIC PLAYS)

WOMAN: Oh! What is that?!
(WOMAN SCREAMS)

(ORCHESTRAL MUSIC PLAYS)

(WOMEN GROAN)

Oh, he's dead.

Ohh!

(BOTH SOB AND EXCLAIM)

(PHONE RINGS)

Hey.

How's Trojan?
Yeah, he's been as good as gold.

Haven't you, boy?

I mean, he's pining for you, obviously.

I hope you've not been giving him treats.

I said I wouldn't, and I haven't.

How did last night go?

It went.

You still coming to Visser's hearing?

Try stopping me.

I'll see you there. And, Piet...

...it wasn't your fault, OK?

Yeah.

(BIRD CAWS)

Hey, nice to meet you. Brad. Hey.

Just asking a few questions...

Victim, Ed Loman, 22.

He's an eco-fashion vlogger and influencer

with three million followers.

Live transmission went out today, as usual.

The plug was pulled after
four minutes and 143 comments.

Cameras front and back
showed no-one in or out

in the last couple of hours.

Residents? We're checking now.

There's no visible signs of forced entry,

which implies that the victim
knew the murderer.

Exits and entrances -

it's the same way in as it is out,
which is actually illegal.

The landlord should provide a fire exit.

He covered all the bases, then.

You might want to check again.

Young woman, pink top. Have a word.

You going somewhere?

Signs of a struggle in the kitchen.

Blood spill seem to indicate
that's where the victim was stabbed.

Got a murder weapon?

Kitchen knife.

Computer turned on manually, just over there,

or maybe on a timer delay.

What about family? Have been informed.

They're in Vancouver.

Kept himself to himself,
according to his neighbours.

Bi-celibate, according to
some of his publicity.

Reserves the right not to sleep with
whoever he wants to.

Liked having his face out there.

Hendrik. Are you well?

Passably decent.

Certainly better than this fellow.

Rigor mortis is still in its early stages.

Little fingers and jaw joints,
rather than limbs.

So, death fairly recent.

One hour, hour and a half.

Looks like single, deep penetrating
stab wound, left anterior chest,

straight into his heart.

One-way ticket across River Styx
once that was inflicted.

So, the tape across his mouth
wasn't to silence him?

That was probably done after death,
as was the stitching to the eyelids.

There's no...

Tape's undisturbed
by any movement or struggling

and there's no vital reaction
to the skin around the sutures.

And here's the thing - look at that.

Very, very delicate.

Done with care and precision.

Possible medical knowledge.

Or someone who knows how to sew.

Fashion vlogger killed by somebody
in the fashion world.

The eyes and mouth are saying what?

What do you think?

That I could really do without this.

(WINGS FLUTTER)

(CHURCH BELLS PEAL)

Wanna tell me what's up?

If the residents can be ruled out
and no-one came in the door,

there must be another way in or out.

(DOG BARKS)

Could you climb that?

On a good day, maybe. You?

I couldn't.

Looks like someone else did.

Oh, yeah. Said she's a friend of Ed Loman.

Wanted to see him.

But, as I say, when she saw us...

Omega 616, I want to talk to 'em.

Oh, right, yeah.

Anonymous street artist,
one of hundreds. Best of luck.

Just find him.

Mate, did you not miss the anonymous bit?

Boss, I've been going through
the victim's feed

and he wound a lot of people up,

had regular spats with a rival
fashion vlogger called Lotta Nagel,

real name Ena Wolfswinkel.

No wonder she changed it.

She's the heart and soul of
the ethical vlogging fashion world.

Knit your own new world.
She's very attractive.

He accused her of being too nice
and ineffectual,

which is a little bit harsh,
actually, because she's really good.

I've watched a few of her vlogs.

I'm into fashion.

Stat man's got a hobby. Who knew?

Alright, track her down.

Hold on a minute! How come he gets
the attractive vlogger and I get...

...the invisible man?

You wanna tell us what you were up to?

You like hanging around on street corners?

Because you're in the wrong district
if you do.

How do you know Ed Loman?

I work at Danhei, the eco-fashion house.

I give Ed gossip.

About what?

Whether Danhei are really as ethical
as they make out.

And are they?

Well, working conditions aren't great.

Accusations of bullying.

They haven't even paid wages this month.

There's also talk of...

...selling out.

Could that have been
what he was going to vlog about?

Maybe.

Ethical fashion house behaving unethically.

Wouldn't want that made public, would they?

Let's do it.

(PHONE RINGS)

Hey.

What are you doing with Trojan?

It's what he's not doing that's bothering me.

Where's Dahlman?

Out.

Omega Man. You found him yet?

Uh, some progress, yeah.

Appeared on the scene 18 months ago.

Writes arty little poems
and messages in public places

like the ones seen earlier on today,
mostly about the fashion world.

No-one knows who he, she, it, they
are, whether they're male or female,

non-binary, tall, small,
fat, thin, young, old...

...a flippin' robot.

But whenever they are seen,

he, she, it, they, are always seen
wearing the same distinctive coat.

So, you got no address, then?

I've got an address!

Lotta Nagel. Good.

Well, go and check her out.

Where are you going, Brad?

I very much doubt Omega 616 is Lotta Nagel.

Might as well rule her out. It's
a process of elimination, innit?

Yeah, that's it. I mean, there's
7.2 billion people on Earth.

Why not whittle them down
one by one, you know?

Starting with all the attractive
women. Yeah. Could work.

Can I go, then?

I'll leave it to your conscience.

Tell me about this fashion house - Danhei.

Claim to be champions of sustainability

and all that's ethical in fashion.

So, we got Dani Nioh, Heidi Berlin.

Right - Dan... Hei.

Dani is the visionary.

He's Heidi's protege, I think, originally.

But he's now the main man,
hottest designer out there.

OK. So, what's all this about selling out?

Oh, yeah. I've arranged to see them.

There's a rumour Dani Nioh
is about to jump ship,

join one of the bigger fashion
houses and abandon Danhei.

Are you coming?

No. You're alright.

(SHIP'S HORN BLARES)

You're cutting it a bit fine.

Yeah.

It's a busy morning.

Anything I should know about? No.

Let's get this out of the way first.

Did you notice Van der Valk
brought in Trojan this morning?

When we get in there,
you let me do the talking, alright?

Why? 'Cause I want to do all the talking.

Brad? What?

It's this one.

Ed and me got quite close.

(SOBS) He wasn't the person
everyone thought.

(BUZZER)

Damn it.

Miss Nagel?

My name's Sergeant Brad de Vries.
Criminal Brigade, Amsterdam Police.

And also quite a fashion icon.

Fast or slow fashion?

I can do either - fast or slow.

Very, very slow.

Can we come in, please?

Very, very slow?

What?

So, that feed once seen, never unseen, right?

Do you think someone's targeting vloggers?

Uh, dunno.

Depends on who you lot have been upsetting

and what issues are doing the rounds
at the moment.

Well, presumably for an eco-fashion
vlogger, it's packaging,

waste, sustainability, transparency.

But none of those things are new, right?

Not all. Definitely.

Ed Loman hot on any of those?
Increasingly, yeah.

Ed became a vlogger because
he wanted to get rich and famous,

but recently, I convinced him
to start taking it more seriously.

Which could have made him enemies.

Very possibly.
Look, can I get you guys a drink?

No.

No, thanks.

I mean, there's a lot of noise
about Youniversality.

Yeah, well, I mean, it's a pretty
important issue right now, right?

You mean the fashion house Youniversality?

Mm-hm.

Youniversality, latest big hitters
to jump on the ethical bandwagon.

No-one's quite sure about
how genuine they are about it.

I mean, there's talks of them
poaching Dani Nioh from Danhei.

Really? Such an interesting choice because...

Amazing. Yeah.

You and Ed Loman,
you had a public spat, didn't you?

That was ages ago. Can I have my phone?

Of course.

It's a nice colour.

Uh, I accused him of being self-obsessed.

He called me a tree-hugger,
but we got past it.

And where were you when the vlog started?

Um... on my way into town.

Can anyone verify that?

Not really.

Oh, Dani! Dani Nioh. We're mates.

We video phoned.

DANI: Everyone, listen up.

In honour of Ed,
we're shutting down for the day.

Alright? Go home, gorgeous.

Hey! Hey!

Darling, it's OK for you to go home.

What the hell are you doing,
giving people the day off?

Everyone's upset about Ed. So?!

Julian, darling, you can go home.

We can't just down tools. We have deadlines.

Yeah, and ethics.

Don't talk to me about ethics.
What do you mean?

What else is there to talk about?
We're an ethical brand.

Need to ask you both about Ed Loman.

You both knew him, I take it.

Yeah. Everyone knew Ed.

You get on with him?

So-so.

Is there anything he might have had over you?

You know, something about Danhei
he might have been going public on?

No.

Not at all.

Not paying wages, mistreating staff,
jumping ship - that sort of thing.

No. It's all tittle-tattle.

Times are tough, that's all.

"We're not a fashion label, were a family."

That's one of yours, right? Yeah. And we are!

We've just given everyone the day off

because of what happened to Ed.

It's hardly a sweatshop, is it?

That fabric. What is it?

This? This is from a life vest.

We work with a refugee charity.

They collect discarded and damaged
clothes from camps around Europe.

Chacko, go home. Seriously.

We patch them up,

we reinvent the clothes
and then we send them back out.

And we employ some Syrian refugees
who make it to Amsterdam,

to help both us and them.

Very impressive.

I'll need a sample.

Here.

Great.

You've been very helpful. Thank you.

I'm still cross with you.

DAHLMAN: That went OK.

(SIGHS) No parole for Visser
is a result.

Yeah, I guess it is.

Yoo-hoo, Mr Detective. How are you?

You remember me, don't you?

Uh... Agatha Voss.

You investigated the murder
of someone I knew.

Oh, yeah. Mm-hm.

Yeah, I remember you.

What are you doing here?
Well, I'm a law student.

So, that's why. What are you doing here?

Me? Just keeping out of trouble.

Minding my own.

Can you just hold on one second?

You think you're winning, but you're not.

What was all that about?
What did he just say?

Come on, let's go.

Ed and me got quite close.

He wasn't the person everyone thought.

It was all a front.
Underneath he was... scared, lonely.

He really cared.

(SOBS) I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

That's all crocodile tears, if you ask me.

Why would she pretend to cry?

'Cause it's gonna send her number
of followers through the roof.

All his are up for grabs now.

I thought Van der Valk had the
monopoly on cynicism in this office.

Actually, it's pretty much
across the board around here.

Think about it. They're rivals.

He does the flamboyant, over-the-top stuff.

She does the over-earnest,
'save the world' bit

and 'I'll be your bestie'.

She's got a motive.

Yeah, but not opportunity.

She was on the way into town
on the phone to Dani Nioh

when the stream went live.

Yeah, but just because she says
she was her our way into town

doesn't actually mean she was
on her way into town, now does it?

Mr Cloover's couture.

Right, Danhei and Youniversality,
ethical credentials -

are they real or fake?

Let's have a dig around.

And Loman's financials.

Yes. Yes. Any minute now.
(TROJAN BARKS)

Ah, the wanderer returns.
Where have you been?

Nowhere. What's going on?

Could ask you the same.

Come on. I'll fill you in
on the way to the path lab.

There's a couple of excitements.
(CHUCKLES)

The green thread used to stitch the eyes -

no idea what it is.

And that's exciting because?

It's like nothing we've ever seen before.

The forensic guy checking
the chemical composition,

he can barely contain himself.

Anything on the orange fabric?

Well, I'm afraid it doesn't match
the clothing found on the roof,

which partly consists of caribou.

That's reindeer to you and me.

Reindeer? On a roof?
Wrong time of year, isn't it?

Reindeer and... duck,

combined with a synthetic water
repellent material

can only mean one thing.

Rudolph's gone AWOL and Santa's
brought in a duck as back-up?

No. It's from a parka.

Which is what Omega 616 wears.

Hey. Ed Loman's financials.

On the first of the month
for the last nine months,

he's been receiving money from an
account listed to Youniversality.

Oh. Vlogger on the payroll. That's naughty.

Only thing is, on the first of this
month, the payments were stopped.

This is like meeting royalty.
Claudia Cabrera?

She's as famous as they come.

Cabrera is the queen of mainstream fashion,

Youniversality is her kingdom.

It's big money, man.

But three years ago, she combines
with iconoclast Gustav Schneider.

This is really exciting.

And this Schneider, he breathes
new life into her lines.

And in her love-life, apparently.

Fashion is about insecurities,
doubt, lack of self-esteem.

We want people to feel bad about themselves

so that they come and buy our clothes.

But here is the key.

We do not want these people
to feel too good about themselves.

We just want these people
to feel a little bit better.

No pictures!

Don't take any pictures!

Love.

People feel our love.

Love that we can take away
any moment by saying,

"No. Oh, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.

"Do you really want to look like this?

"With this? Do you like this?

"Really? She likes this. Huh?"

You see? Boom. Insecurity comes flowing back.

And then we say, "Don't worry, love.
It's alright. Hmm?

"Just ditch that, ditch that,
ditch that." Ah!

"You want to look like this now."

And that way, they come back.

That's why they buy our clothes.

So, do not design perfection or permanence.

Design dazzling and transitory.

Thank you so much.

(APPLAUSE)

WOMAN: Amazing.

Commissaris Van der Valk.
This is Lieutenant Cloovers.

We need to speak to you and your boss.

(CALLS) Claudia! Claud!

WOMAN: Everybody listen. We've got
five minutes until runway.

Everyone please get ready.

(DANCE MUSIC PLAYS)

WOMAN: What do they want?

They have some questions about Loman.

Apologies, we're having a launch
tomorrow for our new line.

Darling, cut the music!

Denim!

Cool.

You're here about Ed Loman, I take it.

We are. Have you seen him recently?

Afraid he wasn't my kind of vlogger.
Me neither.

So, the money he'd been receiving
from your company on a monthly basis

was for what exactly?

Gustav?

Loman became such a powerful voice,
it'd be wise to keep him sweet.

(LAUGHS) And no-one thought
to tell me that.

Well, I didn't think it was that important.

What happened this month
to stop the payments?

He was getting ideas above his head.
Became quite a nuisance.

A big enough nuisance to silence?

No. Big enough to stop paying.

Well, maybe without your sweetener,
he was gonna spill some secrets.

We don't have any.

Everyone has secrets.

We heard you might be poaching
Dani Nioh. Is that true?

Never believe the rumour mill.

Perhaps we can return
to our rehearsal. Thank you.

Darling, music!

(DANCE MUSIC RESUMES)

What's up, Brad? Hey, man.

I heard about the vlogger. It's gone viral.

It's been all over the news.

Yeah.

I guess there's gonna be a briefing, right?

Nuh.

Just little old me and my laptop,
looking for the invisible man,

Omega 616.

MAN: The Antichrist one.

Come on.

I'll see you tomorrow, Casper.

And, oh, say happy birthday
to your daughter for me.

Thank you, ma'am.

Come.

So, I was thinking, these two.

No, no.

(KNOCKS) Sorry to interrupt.

Just one more question.

So, you and Lotta Nagel
video-phoned each other

just before Ed Loman went live, yeah?

Yeah. Did you see where she was?

Uh... she was parking her bike in town.

Did you see where?

It's difficult to tell, isn't it?

Yeah. And you two?

I was on my way in here.

I grabbed a coffee at Zeffie's,
just after speaking to Lotta.

And I was running errands,
I had to go to the bank.

Which one?

The one on the corner of Rokin.

Rokin? Thanks.

Hey, Frank.

So, what have you been up to?

We're helping Brad finding Omega 616.

616 is the number of the beast.

That's 666. Not necessarily, Einstein.

Go on, Frank. Tell 'em.

In the Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus,

the number of the beast is called 616.

Frank used to be a priest.

Omega is also
a religious reference, possibly.

It's in the... uh...

The Book of Revelation. Revelation.

Not exactly an address, though, is it, Brad?

I didn't have you down
as a street artist fan.

Well, I'm not normally. So, what is it?

I dunno.

Hey, Frank. Hi.

So, just before Loman was killed,
Dani Nioh's social media

has a photo of him
grabbing a coffee at Zeffie's.

Waitress confirmed it.

Lotta Nagel was seemingly on
her way into town.

And Heidi Berlin claimed she was in the bank.

Only she wasn't.

Which is not surprising, given
Danhei's accounts have been frozen.

They're on the brink of bankruptcy.

That explains no wages.

Could Loman have known that?

I don't see why not.

He's getting regular dirt
from an informant who works there,

Mila de la Parra.

And Heidi Berlin knows how to stitch.

Aagh!

(TRAM BELL RINGS)

Wake up! There's been a development.

Omega 616 strikes again,
this time having a go at vloggers.

Media are trying to link it to the murder.

I'll make some coffee, then.

We need to find him before the press do.

How's your friend like her coffee?
Strong with sugar.

Oh, and not too much milk.

What's her name again?

Agatha. Agatha.

The, uh... the law student who pays her fees

by sleeping with different men
on a transactional basis.

Correct? Correct.

You her Wednesday?

Is today Thursday? Yeah, it is.

Well, I think her Tuesday's free,
if that's why you're asking.

Transactional, then, or not?

Oh, come on. She's allowed
a private life, isn't she?

I mean, would it matter if it was? Not to me.

Got any thoughts on our street artist?

None at all.

(SIGHS) Casper, it's me again.
Where are you? We're running late.

(SIGHS)

(TROJAN WHIMPERS)

The lab got the chemical composition
of that stitching back.

Mushroom. Heh-heh.

A perfectly sustainable yarn

produced from the fibres of a fungus.

And this particular fungi fashion

is so hot off the press,
it doesn't even have a name yet.

Then we need to find out who's developing it.

(SIGHS)

Night, Johnny. Don't do anything I wouldn't.

And you really needed to drag me out
here to look at a graffiti banner?

Couldn't you just give me the photograph?

Fresh air will do you good.

I'll be back in an hour.

Danhei's on the brink of bankruptcy.

(CHUCKLES) More idle gossip.

If you call a conversation with
your former bank manager 'gossip'.

Did Ed Loman know?

Well, I don't see how.

Dani definitely doesn't, bless him.

He's in his own world most of the time.

Does anyone know? No.

We've expanded faster
than we should have and...

...I love Dani to bits,
but he doesn't make life easy.

I've tried to talk to him...
Yeah, we can cut the sob story.

What I need to know is where you
really were yesterday morning.

I was meeting a friend. That's all.

Who?

I'm not at liberty to say.

I'm...

I'm tied by confidentiality.

Is this anything to do with
Dani abandoning you?

Teaming up with Youniversality.

No, it isn't.

We better check your phone records
and see what they give us.

We'll be seeing you.

This just got really interesting.

Articles about Ed Loman's bi-celibate life.

Right? Wrong!

Because... here he is. And here.

And here.

Look who's on his arm. His informer...

...Mila de la Parra.

I thought she said they were just friends.

They were.

Before Ed Loman was vlogging,
he was blogging.

'Me and Mila in Milan.'

'The Mila in Me.'

And then 'Me and My Mila'.

They were an item
until a couple of months ago.

Where did you get all of this?

Our tech retrieved them
from Ed Loman's computer,

along with 76 emails from Mila
documenting their break-up.

"Please call me."

"You simply can't treat me this way."

"Heartless, arrogant bastard."

"Explain me why."

What's your point?

My point is that Mila de la Parra
has a motive to kill,

along with Schneider.

Not only was Schneider paying Ed Loman...

...he was sleeping with him.

Lovers.

OK, you check out Mila de la Parra,
leave Schneider to us.

Glad you could make it.

Dahlman's driver has been hospitalised.

He's taken quite a hammering.

He's alive, but on a ventilator.

Apparently, his mouth's been taped and...

...his eyes stitched.

(DOOR OPENS)

When were you gonna tell me about Casper?

If we told each other about every
random act of violence that happens,

we'd never get any bloody work done.

There's nothing random about it -
you know it and I know it.
