02x08 - The First One to Fall

[bunniefuu]

f*ck.

Bianca?

Luc,

what the hell are you doing?

Sorry, what?

Everybody is trying to get a hold of you.

We're waiting at the Mont Blanc.

Er, for what?

I don't know.

Something has happened.

- Come on, hurry up.

- Hmm.

A NETFLIX SERIES

Your plan was a shitfest.

- What?

- They found Arthur on the pavement.

Somebody just left him

by the front door, like rubbish.

- And Abder.

- No idea.

Probably dead.

The prince is dead.

I'm so sorry.

I assure you, I'll find out who it was.

We shouldn't have got involved

in the drug business.

Yes?

- Lucky, it's me.

- Grace?

Hey, sister.

Where have you been? Huh?

Shut up.

Listen to me, stop looking for me.

I will not come with you.

But you have to.

You're the successor. I can't do it.

I don't care.

That is your problem.

I've left Luxembourg.

God. Stop lying to me, Grace.

I'm not.

I saw something I shouldn't see.

What are you talking You talk too much.

And you don't respect the rules.

Grace!

Lucky?

Grace!

Grace!

Please answer, Lucky.

Answer.

No, no, no! No, please!

Please, stop.

Stop, I need to call my sister!

Hey. I beg. Please.

Open up. Open the door.

Monday? Monday!

About time.

What happened?

I don't know.

Do you?

The truck never crossed the border.

Yeah, I thought as much.

You know, Arthur is dead.

Multiple shots.

- It was a trap.

- What a mess.

The attorney general

won't be happy, I can assure you.

Gibbes is inconsolable.

It's likely that he'll retire.

That's going to reshuffle the deck

in the underworld.

That's not good for us.

Bonsoir, Bianca.

Bonsoir.

So, are you joining us?

Be right there.

- Go over. I'll follow you.

- All right.

- Two, please.

- Okay.

I want you and the clients to be over.

I'm getting new responsibilities.

I want us to take these on, together.

As a team. As a

- There you go.

- couple.

Er

That is my wish, Bianca.

We're a team.

I do love you.

But this works well

between me and you. Hmm?

I want to climb to the top,

but together.

What are you afraid of?

The disappearance

of my independence perhaps.

You'd rather sleep with

other men, would you?

I pay for my life, without dependence.

Don't forget, you work here for us.

My choice, yeah?

That's all good for me.

Cheers!

Let's get on with it, Valentina.

I have a lot of things to do.

We'll negotiate with

the Nigerians.

The sooner we begin

the discussions, the better.

I don't think that we're in

a good position to negotiate with them.

My mother understands that you've been hit

exceptionally hard by Arthur's m*rder.

He certainly didn't deserve that.

That doesn't mean

the Nigerians have won yet.

She's decided to fight to the end.

With, or, if you should prefer,

without you.

The Nigerians are well aware

that the King of Mont Blanc

wanted to trick them.

Keeping you out of the line of fire

would be the best thing,

by transferring to Valentina

your businesses all at once.

What on earth?

Don't get me wrong, we'd pay you for that.

An ongoing pension.

You're not being serious, are you?

This is dead serious, Gilbert.

All those years,

you had the power over me.

We say goodbye.

Ha-ha.

I'm not sure about your hound.

Is he carrying a g*n?

But this could end very badly for him.

Your bulldog's only got one shot,

but we got one each.

Decision's over to you.

You can start a bloodbath here and end up

kneeling to the Nigerians anyway,

or you can retire with dignity.

So which is it?

Long live the queen.

Valentina,

feel free to start a fight

with whomever you want.

Your lifeline, however though,

has just become a lot shorter.

- That was some bluff.

- For me too!

- You're gambling at a high level.

- I have nothing to fear.

I'm grateful you're by my side for this.

I know you understand me well.

What was it that Koenig said? Hmm?

"You must try to make yourself at home."

There were two victims.

Every shot taken hit its victim.

The flower truck was used

to transport the drugs.

It immediately continued driving

and took the first exit off the motorway.

It hasn't been seen since.

One body was put in a stolen van

and abandoned in front of the Mont Blanc.

We received information

that it was Arthur Koenig.

The other one was found in a river.

We can't be 100% sure who tracked who.

We can only hope that this is not

the start of a w*r between the gangs.

It's possible the truck was heading

towards Luxembourg.

That's something else we don't know.

You're the first to notice any changes

on the streets, if new players appear.

Our focus is still on the Nigerians.

- Understood?

- Yeah.

Okay. Back to work, everyone.

Attorney general is livid,

he's been going mad.

- He got Arthur, didn't he?

- We're no further than where we set off.

The m*rder of Arthur is not

worth anything, judicially speaking.

- We need a flagrant offence.

- Koenig's retiring.

Other players are arriving.

Make new contacts happen.

This will make us lose weeks of work.

"Us"? No, not us.

You, not us. We had a deal.

If Valentina becomes queen bee,

the prosecutor will need you even more.

You promised,

after this mission I could go.

I'm after results before you go anywhere.

That wasn't the deal!

I'm done!

Come back.

Or you'll get 20 years in prison.

And not in block Echo.

I'm sorry, that's how it is.

How could I ever trust you again?

I don't approve of

the attorney general's methods either.

"Methods"?

That is blackmailing!

All over again!

I'm counting on you to be here!

What is that?

What's going on?

I'm wallowing in self-pity, as ever.

Do you mind if I join the club?

Hmm?

What's your problem then?

Dominik said I should quit.

You love your Domo,

so that should be fine.

Well, yeah.

But he wants us to work with each other.

Side by side.

And you don't want that?

You know what I'd really want?

To be far away from here

and away from The Carat,

to live a life that's normal.

He doesn't even know what that is.

I'd help with that.

And you?

I just want to be gone from here.

- You as well? The same as Grace.

- Hmm?

And who'd be in charge of your search?

Who is your Lucky?

Are you all right?

Too many have died.

And now Arthur as well.

Well, I'm not gonna miss him.

You know, er,

you shouldn't like people

just because they're nice to you.

They always have their reasons.

But we're always nice to each other.

Well, yeah.

We probably have our reason.

Er, you have to excuse me.

But why?

Because I haven't been

looking for Grace recently.

I was only defending

my interests, you understand?

Arthur's death is horrendous.

But I'd rather stop breathing,

than give up the fight.

I'm prepared for the inevitable.

And I will fight to keep my freedom.

You have it now.

I don't know if I'll be leaving.

You have enough cash already.

You could just go.

But?

I'm offering you to share my freedom.

It will be a life

full of everything you wanted,

at my side.

The only thing I demand of you

is loyalty.

LUXEMBOURG POLICE

SURVEILLANCE ROOM

Ley?

- Hmm?

- Diederich needs you in his office.

Elsa Ley?

Yeah?

Could you finally tell me

what this is about?

Thank you, you've done enough.

This is a special commission,

we've got a lot on our plate.

- Your boss know you're here?

- You're welcome to call him.

He's got nothing better to do, after all.

Pascale Cojocaru.

Why are you making internal searches

about Luc Capitani and Carla Pereira?

That's not part of your job here.

Mm, I had to look up

Three years ago, you worked with Capitani

on the Jenny Engel case in Manscheid.

- Yes.

- Why so?

- I come from Manscheid.

- I know.

Was he the only one

from the police judiciaire there though?

Did he try to work alone?

I don't think he did.

Did you spend time together

outside of the work environment?

We were so busy at all hours.

Do you know if

he and Pereira were in contact?

He stayed at the Auberge, I think.

You're not from

the general inspectorate, are you?

What do you want from Luc?

We're trying to understand what the

relationship was between Luc and Carla

at that specific time.

Carla didn't feature

in the report about Jenny Engel.

She had nothing to do with it.

She just happened to live there.

So you believe it was a coincidence

they re-met each other?

I guess so. Why not?

I mean

I've just remembered

he told me the Engel case

wasn't the only reason he was there.

It's likely therefore that he was

in Manscheid by coincidence

when the body was found.

But it was no coincidence

that Carla was also there.

He was looking for her.

And she was found.

The same day in the Minett region

Da Costa's body was found.

Was he trying to warn her?

But why?

He's in deeper sh*t

regarding this case than she is.

I don't understand. Is he the m*rder*r?

That wasn't proven, was it?

It was his service weapon

that Da Costa was shot with.

The m*rder weapon, of course.

Remember the weapon was never

officially found for that case.

Okay. That's why there was

an absence of proof.

- Mm. Merci for your help.

- Hey!

Does that mean that he's innocent or not?

- Did you find the medicine?

- Yeah.

Be careful.

You shouldn't take too much.

I'm a grown-up.

I'm doing much better already.

We could see each other at home next time.

The kids would be happy.

- I don't know how long

- My life's complicated again.

I know.

- You wouldn't understand.

- Then explain it.

There's no need for you to suffer.

Not anymore. Like with Pap.

What does Pap have to do with it?

I don't understand.

Why are you still angry?

- It was so long ago he died.

- Why are you? What's your excuse?

Do you never miss him then?

Didn't you feel abandoned?

Yeah, there's anger. It's utter sh*t

that no one understands that!

- What?

- I can't get the image out of my head.

Of Pap on the stool.

Blood.

His hand was like a vice.

I couldn't get the weapon out of there.

Why does that not make you angry?

It's not anybody's fault.

Yeah.

Yeah, it is.

We both

We both should have done something.

Would you help me please?

Do you have work tonight?

I should go and check

if they still need me.

I still expect an answer from you.

Are you going to stop?

For me?

I want a better life for you. For us.

Your mother wouldn't like it.

And I can't betray her.

Oh, really, f*ck that.

Think about yourself,

not my mother.

Look, I'll stay in my place, Dom.

Your place is in my heart.

We're going to be richer than Koenig.

And then you'll be my my queen.

I'll take care of you, Bianca.

I swear to that.

Okay.

I'll give it up.

- For you.

- Ahh!

Oh, come here!

My queen.

I'm glad you

made your mind up so quickly.

It was the right decision.

I can understand your anger.

Stop beating around the bush, will you?

Why bring me here?

To give you something.

As a sign of goodwill.

These are the things

you had to give up in prison.

I would have preferred

something else for me.

The weapon with which

you're being blackmailed, I know.

So, you do believe me now?

It changes nothing.

You're bound to your deal with me.

And you can't help me then?

Not even if I wanted it.

Go f*ck a b*mb.

Monsieur Koenig, is everything all right?

Ooh!

Merci.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Sorry.

Hello?

Bianca, it's me, Grace.

What is it? What happened?
