Markus?
Markus.
Aren't you eating?
Markus?
You OK?
Yeah.
- You can go. - What about the rules?
I'd like you to leave.
I'm sorry about last time.
Did you sleep well?
Not bad.
Did you dream?
No.
OK, then let's continue.
Today I'd like you to tell me about Sébastian Drummer.
How old was he?
- 19. - Shit...
I'll need a full witness statement from you.
Then you'll repeat it to the monitoring committee.
I know it's not easy, Inspector. Nobody likes to snitch on a colleague.
But this is the only way we can stop him.
There have been enough deaths.
Peeters... did he ever tell you about his wife?
- Did he say how she died? - Yes.
Let me guess. He said it was after a long illness, right?
How did his wife die?
How is she?
It's OK. She's going to pull through.
She won't wake up until tonight, or even tomorrow.
- And you? - I feel weird.
You need to sleep.
How are things in Heiderfeld?
People are in shock.
It's a small village. Everyone knew Kevin.
I can't stop thinking about it. I keep seeing his face.
- There was nothing you could do. - Exactly, I couldn't do anything.
He just slipped, and...
I know. It was him.
He put himself in that situation.
You can't blame yourself.
BERGER CASE
The property is 300 square metres.
The garden faces south-west.
You don't have private access to the river but this area is very quiet.
You'll be left in peace.
I heard they were building a dam.
Oh, yes. That's not here, it's further up.
Don't worry, the rising water won't affect you.
FLEMISH xxx.
My husband goes fishing. Dams aren't good for the fish.
Don't worry. The environmentalists only say that to stop the dam.
But you know what they're like.
They'd reintroduce wolves and bears and take us all back to the dark ages!
You want to see inside?
So... a comfortable living space with lots of light.
The kitchenette has everything you need.
Oven, fridge... it all works, you just need to reconnect the power.
Three bedrooms, the first two are doubles and the third has bunk beds.
Afi. Yeah, it's Driss.
I have to get away. I did something really stupid.
I'm done here. I have to leave Belgium.
I'm going to Germany. OK, Afi? I'm going to Germany.
I'll be OK there.
I won't be able to call you for a while, but don't worry, OK?
Tell Mum I love her, OK?
You take care of her, got it?
I love you too, Afi.
I don't understand.
I don't know what he was thinking.
He couldn't have done this. It's not possible.
Not Kevin.
Not my son. Not him.
- Not him. - Calm down, Mum.
And you? He didn't say anything to you?
No.
He told you everything. He'd have said if there was a problem.
You didn't notice anything odd?
He was always with you. You must have noticed something.
Calm down, Mum. It's not his fault.
- Nobody saw it coming. - You're right. Forgive me, Markus.
I'm just lost... I'm sorry.
Kevin liked you a lot. He really did.
Well, I liked him a lot, too.
You OK?
You shouldn't smoke.
How come you weren't in the car with Kevin?
What?
The night of the carnival. You said you went home with Kevin.
No, I said I was supposed to.
But I stayed later and went back with Thibaut.
Thibaut said you weren't at the carnival.
You spoke to Thibaut?
Yes.
- Micka, where were you that night? - What are you doing?
- Have you been nosing around? - I just want to understand.
What? Understand what?
I'm warning you. Stop this. Do you understand?
Fucking hell.
Can I help you?
I killed Driss.
Excuse me?
Driss. It was me who killed him.
Kevin had nothing to do with it.
- Shouldn't we wait for Peeters? - No, we need to act now.
- You can't do it alone. - Too bad. I'm doing it.
That's not procedure. At least call Peeters...
I'm sick of Peeters. He's a pain in the arse.
OK, here I go. Will you start the recording?
- Sébastian? - Yes, what?
I feel like you're avoiding me.
What?
I need to know where we stand. What I mean to you.
Can't we talk about this later?
I was in the car with Kevin.
We were drunk.
It was late and we couldn't see a thing in that forest.
Suddenly Driss ran out in front of the car...
Driss? Fuck, it's Driss.
Shit. Markus...
- Did he die on impact? - No.
He was stunned but still breathing.
Fuck, Driss...
Kevin, move. Move.
No!
I hit him.
With a shovel.
Why?
At the start of the season I was approached by an Albanian guy.
He wanted me to fix matches.
It all went smoothly at first.
We lost like we were meant to. Nothing too obvious.
Krojan paid well and nobody noticed, but after a few matches...
Driss wanted out.
He didn't want to hold back any more.
Is that why you killed him?
I panicked. I thought the guy was going to turn me in.
I thought he'd tell them about the ring, about Krojan...
Markus...
And Kevin?
- Isn't Peeters with him? - No.
What's going on?
He wanted to call the cops and I told him not to, but Kevin...
The poor kid had nothing to do with it.
It was me who killed him.
Oh, God. I killed him.
It was me.
What have I done? What have I done?
I never want to see you alone in there again.
I don't want to tell your mother a suspect slit your throat.
- If it hadn't been Markus... - It's not procedure and you know it.
You consult your superiors.
We need a detailed confession. Call Peeters about the reconstruction.
- I can do it with Marjo. - Call Peeters.
But after yesterday...
Call Peeters!
He's leading this inquiry. He needs to be told.
- This is all they had. - Thanks.
It's nothing special but you need to eat something.
Thank you.
We should never have come back here.
I thought it would do her good.
But I have no idea. I don't even know what she's thinking.
You're doing your best.
- She hardly ever speaks to me. - Give her a little time.
It's the office. I'll be back.
Go ahead.
OK.
If they need you, go.
I can stay with her.
Go on.
Thank you.
Can I see his statement?
We didn't want to bother you.
He confessed to everything - the murder, the suicide note. It's all there.
Kevin was innocent. He died for nothing.
We carried him here, then we started digging.
You said you hit him.
Yeah, back on the road.
He was still moving, so I took a shovel and hit him twice.
And then?
Then we started digging here.
And then?
A car passed by on the road.
We were surprised, we turned round and Driss was gone.
So we panicked and ran.
- OK. Are you getting this, Marjo? - Excuse me.
Where was he?
- Who? - Driss. Where did he vanish from?
God damn it!
Where's he gone?
- Driss! - Let's get out of here.
Go, go. Hurry up.
- You said you killed him? - Yes, he did.
He hit him here and he died in the river.
- It doesn't add up. - Why not?
Pineli was certain that the blow to the neck was fatal.
He couldn't walk ten feet, let alone to the river.
- Will you stop causing trouble? - Calm down, Drummer.
- He just said he killed him. - He didn't kill him.
You're pissing me off.
You're not thinking straight.
I'm not thinking straight? Please!
You messed up, that's why you're pissed off.
Yes, he's here.
Excuse me.
Verelst wants to talk to you.
Yes?
We're on our way.
Follow me.
The back door was broken.
Look at this.
We used Luminol on the floor. There's blood everywhere.
Total carnage.
It was more or less cleaned up with bleach
but you can still see the marks.
Most of the marks were made here,
but the body was dragged to the river.
We found this under the cabinet.
It belonged to Driss.
A second phone? Get Alain to make a list of the calls.
OK, I'll do that right away.
OK...
He's hit by the car...
Markus digs the hole...
he runs away...
and he comes here.
Why does he come here?
To hide?
No.
He doesn't come here by chance. It's too remote.
Driss knew this place.
And his killer did too.
Driss was meeting someone, and that person killed him.
How was your relationship with Drummer?
Very good.
And now?
We get along well.
You get along well?
Yes.
- No arguments? - No.
You never argued?
Yes, maybe. But it's normal to argue.
You go through bad times but it doesn't mean you hate each other.
I'm on your side. You can talk to me.
I am talking.
You want to know what Drummer's report says about you?
What report?
Drummer lodged a case against you with the monitoring committee.
You didn't know?
"Inspector Peeters has a short fuse.
"He rejects other people's opinions.
"He is impulsive and hard to control.
"He uses excessive force and violence.
"His decisions put his colleagues in danger.
"He never admits his mistakes."
Why won't you tell me the truth?
It's not the first time they've had squatters.
Local kids would come here to smoke and drink.
The caretaker's had to change the locks twice this year.
We should talk to him, he might know something.
- Can you take care of it? - Get Verelst to do it.
No, this is important. He might know something.
- I'd like you to go. - I'm not going.
That wasn't a suggestion, it was an order.
What are you going to do? Hit me?
Go on, then, hit me.
Verelst!
Wait, wait. Those cabins...
There are 20 of them along the river.
The one on the right as you go down the hunters' path.
Oh, the Flemish place. G6.
- The Water Lily? - Yeah, the Water Lily.
Damn stupid name!
Did you change the locks?
Did I ever! Three times already.
People know it's empty. They go there to fuck.
- To fuck? - Yeah.
I found a dozen condoms, and stains on the sofa too.
- Yeah? - Yeah. It's a real whorehouse.
- Anyway, cheers. - Cheers.
- Nice little port, eh? - Not bad.
It's from Lidl. 3.99 euro.
That's pretty cheap.
So when were you last at the cabin?
Easy. I'm working.
Go on.
I don't remember. January, I think.
And the door was broken?
No.
You didn't notice anything strange?
René, what's really going on with this cabin?
You know I can't tell you that, Lucien.
- René... - Lucien, don't push it.
We have a variety of woods... oak, cherry, mahogany...
It's all natural.
The classic choice... is oak.
It's light in colour. It's what I sell the most of.
I also have pine.
It has a rougher finish but it's cheaper.
Are you thinking of a burial or a cremation?
It's really a matter of preference. It's personal.
I don't know.
And your son? What would he have preferred?
I don't know.
I have no idea.
Kevin...
He was cold with me.
I thought it was normal for a teenager.
I should have talked to him more.
How old are you?
I'm 23.
Well...
You can give it some thought.
If you need me, I'm at your service.
Have a good afternoon.
How could you do this?
Kevin...
He trusted you. You were like a father to him.
- I'm sorry. - He was 19, Markus.
19.
You're not a man.
So, what is it that's so urgent?
I don't want this baby.
Yes, I know. This appointment is Thursday.
- I want to do it now. - That's not possible.
You have to take a week to think about it. It's the law.
I don't care. I want to do it now.
- Can you talk about it? - I want to abort. It's burning me up.
I'm begging you. Take it out of me.
Take it out of me now.
Stop! You'll kill him. Stop!
You want to kill him or what?
What are you doing?
So there are always squatters in the cabins.
He'd replaced the lock twice.
And there's a CCTV camera at the entrance to the compound, but it doesn't work.
- It's just a deterrent. - A pretty useless one.
Can I have some?
- It works, right? - What is it?
Have a glass, Verelst. It won't hurt.
Thanks.
I spoke to Alain. He said Driss's GSM was going to be hard to read.
It's a Moroccan provider that offers discount rates.
We sent them a request but they refused to send us the bills.
OK. Great.
Call me if you hear anything.
If you see Drummer can you get him to call me?
I need him to go to the lab.
He's in the archives
but I don't think he wants to see me right now.
OK. Excellent.
Can you send it to me?
And if possible... address it to me directly.
Excellent. We'll do that.
I'll call you back.
Listen, Drummer.
I messed up with Kevin.
I know you're angry at me. I understand.
But we're a team. We have to work together.
- And don't drag Marjo into it. - Don't talk about Marjo.
She's a great girl.
Enough with the corny advice. I'm not four any more.
I'm just saying be careful or you'll lose her.
I don't meddle in your life.
Do I talk about your dead wife? Or your cowboy methods?
- No, I don't. - What did you say?
I know about the Berger case. You gave me a load of bullshit.
She didn't die of leukaemia. It was you...
What did you say?
What really happened with Operation Berger?
I screwed up.
It was my fault.
It's all my fault.
I should have waited for back-up.
They all died because of me.
You feel responsible for your wife's death?
It's as if I killed her.
Dad.
My darling.
I'm sorry.
- Any progress? - Yeah.
It's glitchy because of the codecs, but I'm getting it.
OK.
His password wasn't exactly hard. "1234."
Just like one third of the population. Isn't that nuts?
Security systems get better and better and people still use "1234" as their password.
What's your password?
You don't have to tell me. With all this machinery...
Can we focus, please?
I'm just kidding. I won't read your mails.
Do you like Moroccan food? Couscous, tajine, pastilla?
- Yeah, I know what it's like. - I know a great Moroccan place.
I'm friends with the owner. We could go there sometime.
I've got a boyfriend, Alain.
Bingo.
You'll like this. I even recovered the photos.
Shit...
Well, well... Somebody was a little careless.
Marjo?
Yes, sorry to bother you.
But we managed to get the data off Driss's GSM.
- Do you have a call list? -Not yet.
But Alain recovered the photos he took with his phone.
I'll email them to you.
You should take a look, it's important.
Isn't Marjo here?
No, she's with Alain. Should I give her a message?
No, it's OK.
Did you get them?
Can you hear me, Inspector?
Inspector Peeters?
Why won't you tell me why I'm here?
Tell me.
Yoann...
You know why you're here.
You're here because you killed him, Yoann.
You're here because you killed Sébastian Drummer.
