[bunniefuu]

Your people and the barracks may
stay and you leave. The best deal.

I'm going to be a captain at the command post.
- You're serious?

Command post, that's an office job.
Where did that come from?

I am Lieutenant Dominique Meersman.

I hope to be a worthy successor
to Captain Sinnaeve.

Rather worry
about that new lieutenant.

f*ck.
- A death on your first day.

We have a history,
but that was more than a decade ago.

We've been a couple.
- Are we going to be able to work together?

How is Maaike?
- Don't start talking about Maaike.

Have you been good with Mommy?
- I'm always good with Mommy.

Is this leaving each other alone?

Last year, Orlando and Maaike
lost a baby.

First fire in weeks
and Steve doesn't show up again.

What?

You have a drinking problem, adjutant.
Your suspension goes into effect now.

It's finished between us.
I don't want to see you anymore.

This is Tom Lateur, our new recruit.

Please. I want to get out.

Put that mask back on, you're going to suffocate.

Tom, you shouldn't take that personally.

Coming home, closing the door and leaving behind you.

The pickup is on the water.

The only way is by fireboat.

Isn't that weird, hoses not working?

No pressure. That is to say
That there is rigging at the top.

Gilbert?

Post East is moving with another post
to a new building.

You're a b*stard, man.

Vincent gathered all the evidence.
Black-on-white.

Gilbert is a dirty rat.

Patrick gave me a computer
and I found all kinds of things on it.

Vinceke... The corps will miss you.

And I you, too.

Down a bit.

h*. Up a little.

Up a little bit. Yeah, thanks.

Damn it, Steve,
they've already started on those windmills.

Johnny. Tell the guys we're
keep track of the fish heads today.

Come, come, come. Come on.

Don't be afraid, huh. Straighten your arm.

Yes, yes, yes.

Come on, push back. Harder.
Push back, push back.

Push back.
- All right, Nina.

Do you do that every year?
- Yes, every year.

Next year you may.
- I don't think he's a fan of mine.

Bravo.

Did it hurt?
- It's okay. I did feel it, but...

Good. The last exercise
of today is drugs.

I'm going to give you something for a moment.
You can put that in your pocket.

Put it away well.

All stay like this.

Yes.

Is there anything in your pockets?

No, of course not.
- Can you empty your pockets?

Seriously?

Tom, do you have anything on you?
- No. Come on, bucko.

No kidding, huh.

Is there anything in your pockets?

What is that?

Is that yours?
- No.

Damn. Orlando, he's standing here
with coke in his pockets.

That's not mine, I swear.
- Son of a b*tch.

Bokkie, quiet. Is that yours?

I swear it's not mine.
- It's in your pockets.

I don't know that.
- Why do you not know that?

I swear that's not mine.
- Nina?

I don't know anything about it either. You tell me.

Tom?
- You will be honest now.

Where did that come from?
- I'm clean.

Why would I bring such a thing?
I swear.

Why would I have that?
- Is that coke?

I don't know.
- Is that good dope?

That's not mine.
- Good dope?

What?

Is it a good baptism?

Whether it is a good baptism?

He is not feeling well.
It took too long.

Are you serious? Geez, my heart.
- How long have you been an intern?

One year.
- That's long enough, isn't it.

Welcome to the pompiers.

Did you know about that?
- Give it here.

That's sugar for your waffles.
Here you go.

And I just thought that was with water,
in the fire department.

Among other things, so is water. Bokkie?

Men. Hupla.

Congratulations.

Say, honey.

Don't be so annoying.
It doesn't help.

I'm not being annoying,
I'm thinking.

Don't get yourself into trouble.
Come.

Coming back, huh.
- Anytime, girl.

Good morning, Patrick.
- Good morning.

Patrick.

Mayor.

Zone Commander.

Patrick. We listen.

Well...

Here we have Post Central.

Here we have Post East Bank.

Here comes the electrical outlet.

The socket?

Here they extract all the energy
from onshore wind turbines....

And that's a lot of energy.

If something happens and you have to
from here, it's not going to happen.

And if something happens there,
it will also be dangerous.

Yes, but according to the risk analysis
Post Central is perfectly capable

To serve everyone.

So also the site of North Sea Wind.

Patrick.
Post East Bank is no longer needed.

Redundant.

Smaller posts are no longer
of our time. I...

I can't even provide two posts
with solid material.

I don't have the budget for that.
You know that, don't you?

In a contingency plan, every minute makes
the difference between life and death.

We are here.

Drive times have to be short.
You need speed.

You see that too, don't you?
Post East Bank is needed.

Patrick...

I'm going to interrupt you.

I follow the vision of the zone commander.

Small posts are no longer
of our time. It has to merge.

That is inevitable.
That is the future.

I'll take it under advisement
and we'll see how it goes. Okay?

Sonja?

Congratulations, Tom.
- Thank you.

Pleased with it?
- Yes.

Okay people, come.

We are gone.
Too bad it was the last time here.

What do you mean?

Next time it will be at Post Central,
they told us.

Day.

God damn.

Technical Intervention
Post East Bank.

Apparently a large load of fish waste was
unloaded in front of City Hall.

Catering from the city.
Not worth the effort.

You can still laugh about it.
- What happened?

That's from Raf, my brother.
I'm sure.

That new wind farm has
not gone down well with coastal fishermen.

Are you and Raf in touch again?
- No. A little distance, that's better.

Men, come.
- Yes, yes...

Hey, this is not for frying, mind you.

Don't you have a volunteer
at the barracks?

Part-time. He is on duty today.

Can you call it up?
Then this will get out of here faster.

I will try.

We need a full-time force.

You are high in rank, aren't you?
Can't you take care of that?

I can't decide that.

We should be glad
that we still have the mail.

Is that the new zone commander?

Yes.

Major.

The mayor wants this
gone as soon as possible.

Yes, they are working on it.
- Good.

Will it work?

God damn.

With Manu.
- Yo, it's Orlando.

Can you come? I need your help.
- Yes.

That's fine, isn't it? We're in the sh*t.

No, no, yes.

Yeah, I'm coming already.
- Yo.

Damn. Filth.

Honey, aren't we going to have
not eating fish?

Bah. Who makes that up?

A pitchfork won't get you very far.

Patrick, give it here.

That's not work for a captain, is it?
The reinforcement is already there.

You're a guy.

Manu.
- Sergeant.

Thanks for coming.
- It was calm at work anyway.

What's on the menu?
- Here you go.

Everything has to go. Start.

Tom.

Ah. Mate.
- Yo.

Respect, Manu. In your spare time
coming to stir the stink a little.

Sitting next to you when you take your boots
off, then I deserve respect.

Lighten up a little bit, dude.
Get going, come on.

And don't splurge, g*dd*mn it.

Or you'll get a fish in your neck. Filth.

He just barks.

What?

In order. Mayor.
- Thank you.

Major.

Manu. We are ready.
- Yes.

Thanks for your help, so last-minute.
- No problem.

Do you still have to work?

I said it was a big fire
and I would not come back.

Good. Take a shower, you stink.

Man, our new... With his big mouth.

He did try his best.

Yes. But there's no way,
that we have to come here...

with a volunteer for such a job.

Are we running out of people?

That zone commander wants us
completely destroyed.

Patrick is working on it, patience.

Dominique?
- Yes?

Do you have a moment?

I looked at it again.
It makes no sense.

Gio is at that post in Genk,
Vince is no longer there...

I can't get the trolley filled,
the functions don't get filled.

What should I do? Huh?

I already have to fight for every volunteer.
They work well, but it's not full-time.

I'm going to get pissed off later
with the zone commander.

What?

What?
- You put it away immediately.

Who is it? Am I not allowed to know?

Are you that curious?
- A date from Tinder?

Say, how curious you are, sergeant.

You call me sergeant.
It's definitely a date.

Do I know him?

That's a good thing, right?

Perhaps.

Watch it one more time. Okay?
- Yes.

Nothing I wouldn't do.
- Will do.

Just be careful. Huh?

Lieutenant.

Honey.

That fish, was that from the Sinnaeves?

Not now, girl.
I'm glad to be home.

All of Ostend is talking
about that fish in front of City Hall.

Patrick, how you stink.

I helped the old team.
- No kidding.

You yourself got to clean up the mess
of your family was allowed to clean up.

Take it easy on that drawer.
That's a new cabinet.

A drawer that doesn't slide,
is not a drawer.

That's a click system. Push once.

Yes, like this. That's where the bottle openers are.

Was he there?

He is not stupid.
He has not shown himself.

Raf also knows that you authorized
for those permits.

Wouldn't you talk to the Sinnaeves,
before it gets out of hand?

Lieutenant Meersman.
- Major De Vlaeminck.

Did we have an appointment?

I just had to call a volunteer
call to clean up the sidewalk.

Those volunteers are good,
but that doesn't solve my understaffing.

Please sit down first.
- Thank you, I prefer to stand.

Since I lead the post, my requests
for new material have been completely ignored.

Our supplies are not replenished,
our walkies aren't working,...

a flawed fleet...

With which, without Boris, we
would not even be able to get out.

Not to mention the ladder truck....
-May I ask what?

What do you actually have
against the plans for the merger?

I don't get it.

Exactly what you are listing now,
not enough equipment, not enough staff...

would be solved at once.

I have a group of people
who trust each other blindly

the best team I've ever managed.

That merger would be a great loss
for the fire department.

That's a very sentimental argument....

and that will not
not solve.

You have to do it
with the resources you have.

You've got to be kidding me.
That's the third time tonight.

How do you do that? Do you cheat?
- Here.

Say, Orlando.
Are you allowed to sleep during your shift?

Henri?

Hey, Nina?
- Yeah?

That's the fourth time this week.
Doesn't he have a bed at home?

Orlando, let him sleep.
- Henri?

I still liked this, though.

That location is not super,
but those high ceilings are nice.

Then a lot of light comes in.

And how many of those little apartments
have you saved?

A few.

A hundred or so.

Come on.

But yes, I think that's important
to be well prepared.

And prices are rising so fast, so....

And that one? Click on that one.

Yes, I like that one.

A sea view like that is cool. Right?
- Yes, it's nice.

Save that one, then.
- Okay.

Number 101 then, lol.

Yes, Johnny.

Go ahead. Forward.

Even more?
- Yes.

Come on, men, keep working.

Here. Patrick.

Sit down.

Fresh sole. Tasty, right?
A little lemon, parsley.

Tasty.

What had Sir desired?
- I'm not going to...

You know what?
Just do the same for Sir.

Yes, do.

You won't regret it.
They melt on your tongue.

So, what a stunt your brother pulled yesterday.

Who says that was my brother?
- Come on, Patrick.

Fishermen are being bullied out of here.

Bullied away?

First the Thornton Bank, then brexit,
now these new windmills...

They are tired of it, I can understand that.
- Patrick, don't get me wrong.

Nobody in Ostend wants
the coastal fishermen out of here, especially me.

But surely you can't deny....

That that's only a fraction
of the total fishery?

Those big shipping companies,
those guys go along with the story.

These are modern companies,
they understand that.

It's just those few coastal fishermen....

who have their heads stuck in the past
are stuck in the past.

And who are doing everything they can
to stop those windmills.

That outlet should be right there,
on East Bank.

You know that too,
you did those permits.

If that outlet is going to be there.

then maybe I can reconsider
think about Post East Bank.

What do you want?

Dialogue.

If they want to survive as an industry,
then they will have to get in on the story.

Go talk to your family.
- I don't talk to Raf anymore. You know that.

I know that is difficult.

But I've already asked three times
to the Sinnaeves...

To talk to me at City Hall.

And what do I get in response?
A bunch of rotten fish at my doorstep.

They must want to talk to me.

Those rooms are mega beautiful, aren't they?
- Yes. And super big too.

Check out that view. It's crazy, right?

Yes, that is really super beautiful though.

I can see us living here, dear.

Two little kids, maybe a dog.
Or a hamster.

Two babies?
- At least.

As you can see for yourself,
everything here is finished to perfection.

That view, not only city view,
also sea view...

makes this place
truly a unique location.

And with the new energy port
coming here...

they will soon be able to run all of this building
completely on green power.

All right.
- Go check it out on the terrace.

Thank you.

It's close to the barracks, so...
-Yes. Ideal.

What do you think?

I would find that super cool too....

but you do know
that that is beyond our means?

I'm not going to get that loan.
I don't even have collateral.

I have that legacy from my family.
That's okay.

I don't want that money, you know that.
- Honey...

Will do. That money is mine
and I want to invest it in us.

I want to ask him another thing.

Now that health insurance
expanded...

Noah?

Hurry up, we have to leave.

Is that Dave?
- Yes.

Very nice work, Maaike.
- Thank you.

Come on, boy. Put your coat on.

Are you ready?
- Yes, almost.

Are there still a lot of bugs
for that flawless to the customer....

Okay, but we're going to put it out there tomorrow...
-Today, Dave.

Yo. Bye.
- Jacket on.

What is this mess here?
Are we going to clean up later?

I don't want to play with them.
- Not to start again.

Come. Just be nice to Xander and Anouk.

Just knock on the door.

Hey Anouk, what's up?

May we come in?

How is it at work?

Is it still this busy?
- Yes, it is quite busy.

But it is nice
to be busy full-time again.

Pleases me.

How is Anouk doing?

She is struggling.

She wakes up at night
and she then starts screaming.

She is not doing so well.

It's only been a year, lol.

That takes time.
That is difficult for everyone.

Listen...

We are on the other side and you are
forever family of the pompiers.

We are close by. If there is anything, call out.

Huh?

If Vince hadn't been a pumper,
he might still be here.

Noelle? Are you still here?
You're not on duty, are you?

No, I got the ambulance ready
for tomorrow.

I walked past the refrigerator...

and I think it's such a sin
to let all that spoil.

Until tomorrow, then.
- See you tomorrow.

It was Noelle.

What is there? Are employees
of Central not be seen?

To discuss cooperation
between posts, certainly.

But had we not already
not already ended?

I think so.
- Yes. I think so, too.

I have to think all the time about Anouk
who jerks awake at night.

Poor little kids.

Imagine that with you...
-Don't say that.

It won't.

You don't know that.
You can't promise that.

Something can always go wrong.
- Maaike. Vince was alone.

I've said that a thousand times.

When you are in intervention together,
that doesn't happen.

I can trust my team blindly.

That's why I fought so hard
against that merger.

I know what I'm doing, lol.

Come...

Well.
- How loud you can snore, say.

What time is it?

Has it started yet?
- Almost.

But you can still sleep for a while.

And miss how the Greek Freak
destroys the rest...

with his triples, doubles and dunks?

I didn't think so. Come. Hup.

Like this. Are you ready?
- Yes. Come.

Boom shakalaka. He's on fire.

Keep it coming.

Jan. Charles.

So. Johnny.

You've grown quite a bit.
Are you working here even now?

Is that your girlfriend?
- That's none of your business, is it?

Is your dad running around here somewhere?

He's inside.

See you later.

Raf.

Can we talk sometime?

Friend...

Sorry, Patrick.
But I can't let you in.

You know what they say in fishing.

Either you're in it or you're out of it.
And now you're outside it.

Please, Steve.
- I'd like you to leave.

You have no business here.

I really think it's better
That you leave.

Yes.
- Okay?

Day, huh.

Say.
- What?

Otherwise, pick up the whole blanket.
- It's good. Grab yours.

You're really...
-What?

A boorish farmer.

No manners.

If you want a bear,
you take its bear smell with it.

Idiot.
- You like it that way.

You can smell, though.
- Stop.

Smell.
- Stop now.

What's that?
- The electricity is out.

What is that?

The electricity fails.

Was that the fuse?

Go take a look.
- I'm going to look outside first.

God damn.
The electrical box is on fire.

It is not true.

h*.

What are you planning?
It won't work with that.

Just take a little distance. Come.

What the hell was that?
Just call the police.

What is there?
- The walls have eyes here.

As if they will ever request those images.

And by the way, isn't it about time
we get a little more honest with each other?

Huh? I find it exciting
making love on the sly....

but if we merge,
it will stand out.

There will be no merger
as long as I can stop it.

I'm not going to walk hand-in-hand
walk with you.

What?

When you get angry,
your earpiece begins to twitch.

All over the city
they set them on fire.

What do you think?

Anyone who had a problem
with North Sea Wind?

Do you know someone like that?

Patrick. Last night at least
four intersections without lights.

Post Central had to turn out as many as six times
had to turn out.

Maybe that was just
a general technical defect.

That seems unlikely to me.

Amber Demey, fire expert
of the Ostend Prosecutor's Office.

Pleasant.

What do you think?

We'll have to wait and see...

but a defect in so many different
places seems too much of a coincidence to me.

Did they use fire accelerators?
- We'll have to see.

It's a good one, mind you.

Good morning.

Where were you sitting? I missed you.

Here. Studying.
- All night?

Yes. Honey, I want to be well prepared.

Okay, but...

Surely that's a bit excessive.
You know we have the night, right?

Yes, but to become a good
fire expert...

you have to be well prepared
and know all types of fires.

And everyone puts
so much work into that?

I don't know about that, but I do.
- Because you want to be the best.

Yes. I'm the best at everything, right?
- I'm going to get coffee.

Would you like some coffee, too?
- Gladly.

In Ostend last night
electricity booths were on fire.

The cause is still under investigation,
but malicious intent has not been ruled out.

Through the fires are...

What are you playing for? A jar of chocolate spread?

Now I'm awake, man.

I would have loved to see you so busy.

In thirty seconds everything extinguished,
in your pajamas.

And Katrine? Did she help out?

Was she holding your hose?
- It's all right.

The Latest News called.
For an interview, with a photo.

So, so.
- I'm already stressing about my outfit.

Where is Gio when you need him?
With his style advice.

Good.

That's weird that multiple lockers
have caught fire.

Didn't you see any traces?
Fire accelerants?

No idea. I just hope
that there will be electricity again tomorrow.

Because two nights
in the dark with a candle....

God damn.

Fire Alarm Building.

Fire alarm building.
Multi-purpose car pump.

Concerns heavy fire in castle.

One more victim is inside,
condition unknown...

but he's stuck
on the second floor.

A ladder truck
from Post Central is on its way.

Bundle. Bundles.

Two.

It seems confined to the right side.
There is said to be one more victim inside.

That's fast, too.

Foncke. Lieutenant.

Adjutant Marquet.

We do a transitional attack.
My first squad goes in.

I send my guests upstairs.
- My second team goes up the ladder.

Are you serious?
- We're not going to mix teams.

My guests know that ladder...
-Listen. I am highly in command here.

Good.

Be ready for backup.

Tom and Nina: cassettes, deep attack.
Tom, you take the lead.

Noelle, connecting the hose.
Orlando and Henri on the ladder.

Boris, pump.

Someone is still inside,
we'll get him out.

Caution and speed. Go.

Henri, you may hit the ground running again.
How long has it been?

Are you ready?
- Now I am.

You do the serving.

Nina, here to the right.

That door is hot. I think
those rooms are full of hot smoke.

Nina? Fire camera.
- A little forward.

Good?
- More.

Okay, keep it that way.

Here, 85 degrees in that door.
See that?

Up there.
- sh*t.

That door must not open,
otherwise the oxygen will enter.

Okay, check.

Orlando, risk of flashover.
We can't go in that way.

Okay. Lieutenant, will you
for a smoke stopper inside?

No doing careless things.

Balbaert. Bringing up smoke stopper.
- Yes.

Smoke stopper coming soon.

Tom, wait to go in.
- Okay.

f*ck, how long will that take?
Someone is inside, though.

We really have to wait for that smoke stopper
to stop the smoke.

Go ahead. Hup.

All right.
- And the smoke stopper?

No time for it.

Check.
- Good.

Come, inside.
- We're waiting for the smoke stopper.

No time, that victim has to
out, so we go in.

Adjutant, if we open that door now,
we have a flashover.

No discussion, it is an order.

We continue.

We go to the next window.

Okay, careful.

Okay, keep it here.

Orlando.

I am sitting with a possible suicide.
You guys are the closest.

But, honey...
-Leave it.

Does he know your past?

He knows something about it,
but not everything yet.

No. Go away.

That post of yours doesn't function at all.

Silence, please.

As for offshore wind turbines....

Raf.
