02x04 - Onvoltooid verleden

Post by bunniefuu »

Do you miss it?

- What?
- Teaching.

What do you think?

And the women?

I thought as much.

Let's discuss the women in your life.

I see no point.

- Describe your relationship to them.
- Neutral.

Neutral applies to conflicts,
not to relationships.

Perhaps I have a conflict
with women in general.

- Sounds hostile.
- Not if you're neutral.

So why did you choose me
as your therapist?

You were assigned to me.

- Ask for someone else.
- I dislike change.

So that we're sitting here
is an accident.

Or God's punishment.

And Christina?

- How is your relationship?
- Very neutral.

I don't believe that, Jasper.
Come on, you have a past together.

Who looks at the past
has his back turned to the future.

The past is over.

- Over?
- Yes, for good.

Funny to hear that
from a professor of criminology.

But maybe
that's where the solution lies.

Maybe Christina can help you.

Jasper, sometimes
we forget who we once were.

Yes, double T, OK.

Yes, double T, OK.

No, I've got it.

Another one. That makes three.

A notary public
outside his front door.

A notary public
outside his front door.

Then a young couple visiting
his parents, on the driveway.

Goddammit.

And a guy as he was
leaving a brothel.

His wife isn't too pleased,
it seems.

- And all with big cars.
- Yes, sports utility vehicles.

Those tanks, useless in the city.

- Green radicals.
- Probably.

start an inquiry.

- No, right?
- Why not?

And chase these fancy types
with an ecological footprint

all the way to Tokyo?

- Sorry, can I have a word with you?

Local inquiry.

Paul, are you in court today?

- Yes.
- It'll be fine, won't it?

Yes.

- Good.
- You like it?

I can bring it every time.

I hope not.

- It would mean bad news every day.
- Why do you think that?

When I was a child, the dentist
would always give me a lollipop.

- The dentist?
- Before he started drilling.

Is this cake a lollipop, Commissioner?

Sleep on it.

I shouldn't have come back, Christina.

We're replacing Daan.

Tomorrow.

- You Know we're understaffed.
- What if he changes his mind?

What if it's a whim?
You know him.

Daan isn't coming back.

If not even
the commissioner believes in it...

I spoke to Daan.

Just admit that
you're glad to be rid of him.

That's not true, and you know it.

Annelies.

Annelies.

I don't know what I might do
if they take Katrien away from us.

- That won't happen.
- And take her to India, God forbid.

- She might contract an illness.
- Jurgen ignored her for years.

The lawyer said
that's to our advantage.

Other things aren't.

You haven't had a drop in months.

You're chief inspector of police.

Jurgen doesn't even have a job.

I don't know what
I might do. I really don't.

If...

If Jurgen gets custody of Katrien,
and I really don't think he will,

we'll get through it.

We've had to let go of our daughter.
If you can survive that...

- Personal or work-related?
- Sorry?

If you dawdle,
you usually have a question.

Personal or work-related?

Jenny, go and get coffee.

Take your time.

Suppose you have
problems with a woman...

And you want to iron things out
because you want to ask her something.

- How should you do that?
- A city break.

Or, if you're in a hurry,
with a romantic dinner.

I'm free this evening.
shall we say 8 o-clock?

You're not going to invite Mrs Flamant
without rehearsing, are you?

- I don't...
- Then that's agreed, 8pm.

- Professor?
- There, it's in your agenda.

5 minutes?

See you later.

That local inquiry
didn't lead to anything.

I found articles online about
similar attacks, but all from long ago.

It hasn't been claimed.
there are no traces.

It hasn't been claimed,
there are no traces.

Has it come to criminologists
investigating flat tyres?

Has it come to criminologists
investigating flat tyres?

SO why are you here?

Because the office
gets on my nerves.

And that's not good,

nerves?

MASS TURNOUT MARCH
AGAINST INCINERATOR

- You know what the Commissioner did?
- Something with your nerves?

She's replaced Daan.

Daan.

Is that really all you can say?

"Aha, Daan"?

- Is there more to say?
- That it's fast.

Fast for whom?

For Daan.

The Commissioner does what she has to,
make the team function well.

Maybe you should do
what you have to, too.

What?

- Accept it.
- It's just hard.

I know.

I know.

Dad?

Did you set the table?

Daddy.

Daddy.

It's almost ready.

It's ready.

The alarm is going.

Yes, Paul.

- Stuck in traffic.
- No, home.

- Home.
- Yes, I'm almost there.

One of the neighbours
heard someone drive off,

but no model, colour, nothing.

- Another 4X4. Is it the same lot?
- Probably.

But this time
it's much worse, isn't it?

Inspectors?
This was under the front door.

Let's see.

“To the owners
of this m*rder weapon."

A bunch of figures and names.

- Do you know the Club of Rome?
- Never heard of it.

- All right, will you get it to the lab?
- Yes.

- Paul? How did it go in court?
- Not good.

What's wrong?
Another flat tyre?

Sorry?

- Crime reporting is downstairs...
- I think there's a misunderstanding.

John.

- Ah, John.
- Van Humbeeck.

- De Oudaan sent me.
- For an investigation?

At the state police

You turn into a real man

At the state police

You will find your happiness

At the state police
At the state police

- Ah, Inspector.
- Commissioner.

- Welcome.
- Thank you.

- Have you met already?
- The case Is solved.

- He's close to retirement.
- Annelies.

- Hello, John.
- Nice to meet you.

- John.
- Johan.

John.

Who is...?

That's Professor Teerlinck.
External advisor.

Professor,
John van Humbeeck. Inspector.

Ah, the new Daan.

The new Daan from De Oudaan.

That's OK, Daan.

John.

- Who's Daan?
- Who's Daan, who's Daan? Please.

- If you can just stay quiet...
- Annelies.

- What do you mean, solved?
- The letter at the burnt-out car.

- Impossible, it hasn't been released.
- It's on the internet.

Posted by the perpetrators themselves.

- What about the letter?
- The style, the use of language,

the modus operandi,
everything points to the Foetsies.

- Sorry?
- The Foetsies.

A student group from the ‘80s.
A mix of ecology and anarchy.

It started as a joke among friends.
They called themselves the Foetsies.

They led campaigns
against consumer society.

- Long before talk of climate change.
- Do they still exist?

At the state police

You turn into a real man

At the state police

Professor?
Do the Foetsies still exist?

No.

One fell from the tribune
In Parliament.

- They haven't been active since.
- Until now.

Do you have
the names of those Foetsies?

Absolutely.

Doctor Dada.

Wooby.

- Ari-Baril.
- Are you joking?

- And Flash Cadillac.
- Everyone had an alias.

Bart Deferme,
Max Reynders, Ariel Rosfeld.

Bart Deferme,
Max Reynders, Ariel-Rosfeld.

- Wow. Slow, down.
- And Dirk Wolfs

Those are their real names,
I believe.

Correct.

- That's it?
- For now.

He's acting pretty normal today.

- Will you bring him the file?
- File?

- It's on my desk.
- To a civilian?

Just do it.

- Dinner?
- At my place.

And why?

- Can I have a word with you?
- 8pm.

Professor?

As you may know, or not,

my son-in-law is contesting
the custody of my granddaughter.

The judge has ordered
a-social inquiry.

My lawyer says that
testimonies from third parties

can make a good impression
and work in our favour.

Professors make,
in a general sense,

a good impression.

I should tell them
you're a good guardian?

- It has come to that.
- I'd rather not.

- Excuse me?
- I'd rather not.

- And the reason?
- I don't think you're a good guardian.

A civilian who reads open files?

A civilian who reads open files?

At the state police

- Your record is stuck, John.
- Sorry.

Look up the names.

- It asks for a password.
- I'd give "geriatrics" a try.

If that doesn't work,
you'd better call IT.

- Let's not do that again, OK?

Make jokes about my age.
John van Humbeeck speaking.

Professor.

You have a visitor.

That city break,
where are we going to rehearse that?

- Ah, Jasper.
- Jasper, it's been a long time.

Nice office.
Must have cost something.

- Yes, there's -money in education.
- Nice going, Professor.

- No pictures of the Foetsies?
- Yes, where are our pictures?

- And it's so clean here.
- You can eat off the floor.

Still crazy about Italian music?

Curious why we're here?

It was Dirk's idea.

Someone has used our manifestos
in relation to those attacks on 4X4s.

- We found a text...
- We saw it on the internet.

- I know.
- What do you mean, you know?

- I work for the police.
- Are you serious?

- As an advisor.
- You work for the cops?

- As an advisor.
- You work for the cops?

They think you have
something to do with it.

We've outgrown that.

And why don't they
Suspect you, as well?

He didn't mention
he used to be a Foetsie.

He didn't mention
he used to be a Foetsie.

He didn't mention
he used to be a Feoetsie.

- You're not involved?
- Of course not.

Do you remember?
Foetsie’s word of honour.

- Do you still keep in contact?
- Regularly.

I'd see him more
if he represented Glidewinds.

I've told you,
business and pleasure...

Not a good combination.

- Wooby.
- Max ts still the same.

Believes in the cause.

We lost contact years ago.
He holed up in the woods.

Out of guilt, of course.

Let it be, Dirk.

All right, what's the battle plan?

Bart Deferme.

Bart Deferme.

Studied law.

He works as a lawyer
in a law firm.

Ariel Rosfeld.

Commercial engineer.
He took over his father's business.

- Diamonds?
- Yes, probably.

- Diamonds?
- Yes, probably.

And Dirk Wolfs, civil engineer, CEO
of Glidewinds, windmill manufacturer.

He's the one
who fell from the tribune.

And number four,
Max Reynders?

Thought you'd also done
some research.

I know he did
Pol-Sci-and Sociology.

Maybe we can visit
the other three.

- That won't be necessary, I think.
- Friends, these are the Foetsies.

It was hard work.

It was hard work.

Yes, on a typewriter
with carbon paper.

Yes, on a typewriter
with carbon paper.

Remember that police raid
when you ate the manifesto?

No, that was Wooby.

I grabbed a cop's truncheon
and tossed it in the toilet.

Can we get to the point?

- Wooby. Who's that?
- Max Reynders, he's not here today.

- Wooby. Who's that?
- Max Reynders, he's not here today.

- Doctor Dada.
- Flash Cadillac.

The internet letter is fake.

- Absolutely. With mistakes and all.

You have nothing to do
with the case?

Certain things
change with age, miss.

- But not for Max Reynders.
- Still a real Foetsie.

That's true.

We havent seen him in ages.
As I said, he lives in the woods.

- Guilt, I'm sure.
- You don't know that.

- Guilt, I'm sure.
- You don't know that.

Guilt?

Wooby was drunk
that day in Parliament.

- He was standing there...
- He lost his balance,

fell against me and that was it.

Could Max Reynders be
behind the attacks?

- With Max you never know.
- I find it hard to believe.

Any idea which tree he lives in?

Any idea which tree he lives in?

I can't stand that type.

Study on daddy's money
and then turn rebellious.

Never wanted
to change the world?

A lawyer,
a diamond trader and a CEO.

I think they have other ideals now.

Here to the right.

100 meters, maybe?

What?

Thought I heard something.

- Where is that guy?
- Playing footsie.

Get back, get back.

Gizmo, come here.

Why are you here?

- Max Reynders?
- Could be.

Federal police.

There.

It's not broken, just sprained.

This is a mixture of linseed oil,
vinegar and comfrey.

It will help.

- How long have you been living here?
- 20 years and 3 months.

- A person doesn't need much.
- The Foetsies.

- Does that ring a bell?
- That was a long time ago.

There have been
some attacks on SUVs.

A manifesto from the Foetsies
was found at one.

OK.

Did you have anything to do with that?

Are you in touch?

Indirectly.

Careful.

They're doing quite well,
aren't they?

GLIDEWINDS OPENS NEW WIND FARM

BART DEFERME FILES LAWSUIT

A gentleman takes a lady's coat.

So very formal.

As aperitif
we'll have a glass of bubbly.

- Everyone likes that.
- A glass of bubbly?

- Cola. I'm driving.
- Cola.

Do you need help?

So you don't like oysters?

Oh, delicious.

It's alive, I...

Now you can't go wrong.

Jasper.

What's the idea?

- The idea? A normal dinner.
- Normal?

With you, nothing's normal.

Do I have a problem with women?

I think you have a problem
with everyone you encounter.

What do you think?

An uncomfortable silence.

I re-examined the file.

No, were not talking about work.

What do women want?

Attention, attention,
and attention.

I came across some old pictures.

The Foetsies.

- Are you happy?
- Luckily no.

Why have you changed so much?

- Everyone changes, Christina.
- Not like you.

Maybe because
of what others did to me.

- Or do you have a different opinion?
- Jasper...

Can't you just let it go?

- I cheated on you, yes.
- Christina...

Yes, Jasper,
with your best friend.

But that was an eternity ago, Jasper.
Do me a favour, will you?

Christina.

And I think it's shameful that
you won't put in a good word for Paul.

I think it's a really lovely evening.

If you wanted to, you could
make a woman very, very happy.

Jasper, can you come with me?

Mystery solved,
I's the diamond trader.

Ari-Bari?

It seems he was working on a b*mb
that went off prematurely.

- He has a 4X4 himself.
- A cover, I Suppose.

I'm sure
you'll find artificial fertiliser.

Let me know if you do.

ANFO.

- Ammonium nitrate and fuel oil.

Timothy McVeigh used a b*mb
like that in 1995 in Oklahoma.

Easy to make
with artificial fertiliser.

OK, so first a Molotov c*ck,
then a b*mb.

- From bad to worse.
- Can you take me home, please?

Yes.

You know who else?
Anders Behring Breivik, Oslo, 2011.

Dear me, did John van Humbeeck
swallow an encyclopaedia?

- And then?
- Not much more was said on the way.

- So the evening was not a success.
- Not really.

- So the evening was not a success.
- Not really.

- Why is that, you think?
- You're the psychiatrist:

- Why is that, you think?
- You're the psychiatrist.

And I disagree with you. I don't
have a problem with all women.

That's not what I...

I get along very well
with Mrs Sneyers.

And with Ms Donckers.
Even with you, occasionally.

So why with us
and not with Christina?

Are we inferiors you can
in some way dominate?

Manipulate? Control?

- I don't control you.
- You decide when to come.

I don't wish to control Christina.

Jasper, we're talking
at cross-purposes.

A good psychiatrist
reads between the lines.

And I am good,

because I know you were upset
by the death of a friend yesterday.

As a good psychiatrist,

do you condone not telling the truth
if it serves to help someone?

If it's not ill*gal,
I don't see a problem.

- In that case, may I leave?
- Yes.

As you know the court has appointed me
to organise a social inquiry

As you know the court has appointed me
to organise a social inquiry

with respect to the custody
of your granddaughter, Katrien.

with respect to the custody
of your granddaughter, Katrien.

Sorry to interrupt,
but how old are you?

- Why?
- How old are you?

25.

- Is there a problem?
- No, no problem.

Look, children usually live
with their biological parents.

Is there a reason
why Katrien shouldn't?

ls there a reason
why Katrien shouldn't?

Absolutely.

That good-for-nothing father of hers
never paid her any mind.

As we were burying our daughter,
he left for the Himalayas.

- To lose himself in vapours.
- Paul.

So in his absence
you looked after her.

OK.

- Could you say that went well?
- Of course.

- Could you say that went well?
- Of course.

Katrien's incredibly sweet.

- Nothing happened...
- No, there were no problems.

And there was no drinking problem?

You know what, stop this rubbish.

- Paul, no.
- Why not?

That toddler has long decided
what her advice will be.

On time, I hope.

On time, I hope.

I wanted to say Chief Inspector Rabet
is a conscientious man.

He always remains calm,
never loses his patience.

I...

He'll be an excellent guardian.

Your foot better?

Yes, that foul poultice
actually helped.

- It's too simple.
- What?

I don't believe
Rosfeld is the culprit.

OK. He did have enough expl*sives
to blow up half of Antwerp.

Yes, but you saw his villa.

Doesn't seem he was busy
improving the world.

So Rosfeld is the victim,
not the culprit?

Yes. Someone blew him up,

after puncturing a few tyres
and burning a 4X4 as. a ruse.

- Sounds good to me.
- Right?

DIAMOND TRADER ACCUSED OF FRAUD

I need to check something.

You know Rosfeld didn't do it, but
you kept quiet to protect your friends.

The motive is missing.
No one had reason to k*ll Ari-Bari.

I thought so, too.
Till I visited the clerk.

- That is a motive indeed.
- I don't know how to prove it.

I may have an idea.

Max Reynders? You're under arrest
for the m*rder of Ariel Rosfeld.

Yes, take him away.

- And my dog?
- It'll be taken care of.

- Wait here.
- Bart.

- What's going on?
- I have no idea.

- Some way to die.
- What are we here for?

I don't know,
to sign a statement perhaps.

- Max, what are you doing here?
- Max, what's going on?

Will you take him
to the interrogation room?

Max.

Why arrest Wooby?

Your friend Rosfeld didn't have
an accident. It was m*rder.

We arrested the culprit.

Does he have a lawyer?

He lives in the woods, so I doubt it.

- Can I represent him?
- Sure.

- They think Wooby did it.
- Wooby?

Better?

Sorry if it's a bit warm,
but the thermostat isn't working.

You'll want to see this.

My client denies all accusations.

Patience, we haven't
accused anyone yet.

But we do have a theory.

These Foetsies...

In my eyes, a bunch of spoiled
rich kids, but anyway...

I think what my colleague means
is that ideals can dilute with age.

But not for you.
Right, Mr Reynders?

Or should I say, Wooby?

With all due respect, you remained
Stuck in the past, the rest did not.

With all due respect, you remained
stuck in the past, the rest did not.

And they all live
in huge mansions and have SUVs,

fancy watches, you name it.
And Rosfeld was the worst.

He made fortunes selling diamonds
to everyone the Foetsies opposed.

So you took action.

If you say so.

You built it carefully.

First puncture some tyres,
then that Molotov attack,

You broke into Rosfeld's office,
placed a b*mb,

and then it was just a matter
of waiting for the right moment.

Before the expl*si*n,

a call was made to Rosfeld's
landline from a mobile phone.

a call was made to Rosfeld's
landline from a mobile phone.

We think it was you.

- Bart, are you going to say anything?
- That's all very well,

but so far I haven't seen
or heard any evidence

of my client's involvement.

- John.
- Annelies.

- I think we can lower the thermostat.
- I think so too.

- So you never suspected me?
- Sorry, Wooby. It was the only way.

Ammonium nitrate is a strong salt.

Heat often induces
an allergic reaction,

Heat often Induces
an allergic reaction,

In the form of a skin rash.

It was a guess.

We were lucky.

How did you find out
Doctor Dada was behind it?

The credit goes
to an old student of mine.

Annelies Donckers.

She discovered that
Ari-Bari had been accused of fraud.

And I thought it was very strange
that Doctor Dada was his lawyer.

When it turned out it was
settled out of court, we were certain.

When it turned out it was
settled out of court, we were certain.

In case of arbitration,
the buy-out sum,

In this case 4 million euros,

is deposited in a third-party account,
administered by a lawyer.

So if something happened to Ariel,

and no one else knew
about the money,

Bart would be able to keep it.

The day of the attack, Bart and Ariel
had an appointment at Ariel's house.

- Dear friend.
- How are you?

You want a drink?

That's probably
when Dada placed the b*mb.

That same evening,
he called Rosfeld,

to be sure
he'd be close to the b*mb.

Hello?

Dada had also hid a few kilos
of artificial fertiliser in the shed,

Dada had also hid a few kilos
of artificial fertiliser in the shed,

so we'd think Ari-Bari
was behind the attacks.

so we'd think Ari-Bar
was behind the attacks.

Traces of ammonium nitrate
were found on Bart's arms.

So then he confessed.

Come here.

I won't leave until I know
whether he used to be a Foetsie.

- Mr T? That can't be, can it?
- I knew it.

The past is over.

For good.

John, really.

A hug for Grandpa.

- Sleep well, Grandpa.
- Sleep well, sweetheart.

John van Humbeeck,
there's cups on your desk.

They go in the sink.

Check.

My first case.

- I kind of enjoyed it.
- Enjoyed it?

- Someone got blown up.
- You know what I mean.

I don't.

On TV they usually go for a drink now.
After the case Is solved.

Aren't you married?

Yes, happily so, even.

Then I suggest you go
and watch TV with your wife.
