13 COMMANDMENTS
Fuck.
-Clever idea, about the tracker. -Not clever enough.
Clearly. Does anyone feel impelled to...?
Are you going to tell him?
-He's lost his daughter and his money. -No.
He's got his ransom, so he will have to let the girl go
or he would violate one of his own commandments.
He held a gun to her head and pulled the trigger.
And he's stolen a bag of money. He's not very consistent, is he?
-And there's Marnix. -That was a suicide.
-Sure. -Yes.
We'll presume he'll let the girl go.
Dad, can you come? It's urgent.
Bloody hell.
Sara?
-Thanks for coming, Dad. -Are you alright?
There, there.
Tell me.
I stayed over at Lieze's and...
When I came back home... everything was smashed to pieces.
-Has something been taken? -I haven't looked yet.
-Have the neighbours seen anything? -No.
Hang on. Hang on. Leave that.
-I'll get a team over here. -Why?
There's no need. I only asked you to come so you'd have a look at my sink.
Quite an unusual break-in, don't you think?
Maybe they knew I wasn't home from my Facebook page.
-I'll ring them anyway. -There's really no need.
There is. If we want to claim money from the insurance, we need a police report.
Or are you going to tell your dad the truth?
I had a housewarming party yesterday.
But I swear I only invited five people.
They all brought friends, all people I didn't know.
-Nice friends they are. -No.
I'm sure someone spiked my drink.
I'm taking you to your mum's.
-No, Dad, she'll be angry. -I'm taking you to your mum's, I said.
We should have refused the ransom exchange.
And let him play Russian roulette again? We had to do something.
What if the kidnapper isn't Moses?
Yes? Vicky here.
What?
Okay.
-We've got him. -What?
They've found a fingerprint on the money bag.
Does your flat look as rough as you do?
I suggest we cool off first.
We wait till the hangover wears out, you mean.
You've been young, haven't you? You've made mistakes, too.
But not one after the other.
And not of this magnitude. What were you thinking?
I knew you'd be angry. I told you, didn't I?
We'll talk about it tomorrow. And I'm angry, too. Don't be mistaken.
Thanks for the support.
I'd invite you in, but...
Sure.
My partner.
-Yes, Vicky? -Peter...
We've got him.
We've found a fingerprint and a match.
You know him. It's your informant, the Bulgarian.
-We're planning a swoop. -Yes, I'm on my way.
Police!
-The study is clear. -Clear!
Clear.
The premises are secure. Send the investigators in.
Bingo.
I want to address the kidnapper of my daughter, Chloë.
I did what you asked.
I want to ask you to stick to the agreement.
Chloë is my only daughter.
Please, don't take her away from me.
Chloë, love, if you can hear this, I love you.
And I miss you.
That concludes the statement of Henri Clement who...
That's just what we needed.
Who advised him to do that?
-Coffee? -No, thanks.
Hang on.
Take a look at this.
You and me. Alone.
-Hang on. Don't we have to... -No, no.
Don't. Stay calm. Police. Everything will be alright.
Quiet. Stay calm!
-Put your gun down. -Hristo.
-Put your gun down. -Hristo, listen.
Put your gun down. Now.
-Put your gun down! -Take it easy.
If you had given me that residence permit, this wouldn't have happened.
That wasn't my fault.
-That isn't my fault. -Gun down!
Gun down, I said. Now!
My wife has gone on the run. They think I'm a snitch.
-Gun down! -You put your gun down!
Shoot him!
-Are you alright? Alright? -Yes, yes!
Are you alright? I'll untie you and take this off.
It's gone. It's okay. It's okay.
-I'll be back. -No! Don't go!
-I'll be right back. -No! Please!
-I'll be straight back. -Please! No! No!
Peter?
Why didn't you ring me?
We had to act fast.
Do you realize you've taken a massive risk?
You could have called an intervention unit.
He would have panicked. Is that what you wanted?
The kid as a human shield? Gun to her head?
We've got him now.
And Chloë was saved. That's what counts.
What about the money?
It's not in the car, in any case. They're still searching the hangar.
I can't believe he would make such a big slip-up.
Feeling sorry for him?
The question whether Chloë Clement's kidnapper is serial criminal Moses
remains unanswered. In a press release earlier today,
the Public Prosecutor's Office admits that evidence points in that direction.
A detail worth noting is that Hristo Bodurov was a police inform...
The Public Prosecutor's Office has no further comments to make,
but will hold a press conference tomorrow which may reveal more details.
If the man is Moses, this will finally bring an end to the serial crimes
that were inspired by the Ten Commandments.
We have a weather warning for you.
From 7 pm last night, a first severe hailstorm hit West and East Flanders.
A second storm moved from Brussels
to the northeast. Especially West and East Flanders.
Hi.
Can you confirm it was Moses who was arrested?
Hang on. There will be a press conference later,
where you'll be able to ask your questions. Alright? Thank you.
I thought I should be here...
-What the fuck? -...to show my support for Moses,
and to clarify I think his mission is more important than his actions.
That guy's fucking deranged.
What is she doing here?
Good morning.
We have received instructions not to allow anyone into the room, so...
No one except close family and his lawyer.
I think it's clear I'm not close family.
-Are you going to represent him? -Everyone has a right to representation.
-By their own victim? -There is no legal impediment against it.
-No, no. That's right. -What are you doing?
-I'm going to question your client. -Mr Bodurov was your informant.
You're closely involved. He also indicated he doesn't want to be questioned by you.
We'll do the questioning.
Mr Bodurov, I'm Inspector Vicky Degraeve, this is my colleague Tony Vermeire.
We're going to record this interview. We'll provide your lawyer with a copy.
I will make sure everything goes by the books.
Name?
Do you have to ask?
Hristo Bodurov.
-Yes? -Peter.
I'm determined to question Hristo.
-He doesn't want to speak to you. -He wouldn't be the first.
The first lab results are in.
We've found DNA of nearly all the victims.
-We've nailed him. -I know that.
But he's my informant. I want to look him in the eye when he confesses.
Don't you understand?
An old lady was robbed at home. She was in shock yesterday,
so they've postponed taking her statement till today.
Hey...
You can't be serious.
They can't all be Moseses.
I opened the door, he pushed me into the house
and he pulled me along.
Into the living room.
And then he tied me up.
-Did he take anything? -Some figurines, money from my purse
and that mobile phone you gave me not long ago.
-But not your jewellery, eh, Mum? -I hid that well.
I haven't got that much jewellery anyway.
-How long was he here for? -Five minutes.
I've lived here for 35 years, sir. And nothing like this has ever happened.
You can't even feel safe in your own home anymore.
-We'll find a solution. -Right.
He'll bring up the nursing home again.
-I won't. -Of course not.
Don't let this scare you out of your home.
You need a decent lock, an alarm bracelet and someone who visits regularly.
I visit all the time.
I'm not Moses.
And I don't know who Moses is.
I was given jobs and I carried them out.
We've found photos at your flat.
The motorbike was in your garage.
And we've found the victims' DNA on your clothing.
So you were just a henchman?
He paid me. And I did what I was asked.
Who is he?
I don't know.
Don't think you'll get off lightly.
You will still be charged with kidnapping, torture...
I didn't kidnap or torture anyone.
Or anything like that.
What about Chloë?
I don't know.
I found her in my garage.
Right, put the blame on someone else.
That's typical for a first interview. All they can do, is try.
I probably shouldn't meddle,
but what if he's not lying?
That means the real Moses is still out there.
Peter, I know it's your informant and you want to believe him,
but consider the facts. We'll question him again tomorrow.
What's this?
That's my preparation for the questioning of this morning. It may help.
Whether he's Moses or not, we've never got this close.
Good luck.
This will cost you more than the three-month deposit.
I will take on the repair costs.
If you were my daughter, you'd have to pay for it yourself.
Right. I'll give you four weeks to get it cleaned up.
And can you tell Vicky I'm very proud of her for capturing Moses?
Maybe you should tell her yourself.
-Thanks, Dad. -You should start saving up.
If you want to be treated like an adult,
you should learn to face the consequences of your actions.
-Okay. -Go on.
-See you. -Bye.
If it is him.
There's evidence, but he hasn't confessed to anything.
Thanks, Dad.
Yes, bye.
What are you doing here?
The documents for your wife and kid.
You can have them brought over if you can get in touch with them.
I told you you could trust me. But you couldn't wait.
I think I'm allowed the truth now.
It is the truth.
I did what I was told to do.
I had to do observations and report back to him.
And kidnapping the girl?
Was that a job too?
Yes.
What happened to the ransom?
The father...
...was supposed to transfer the money to a charity.
That's how Moses wanted it.
But I needed money.
You didn't have a choice.
It was the only way out for me and my family.
You have to believe me.
What's happening?
I have to go.
Really? When will I see you?
Not anymore.
Not anymore? Fuck.
Vicky...
Thanks.
I'll miss you.
Counsel Vandekerckhove.
Good morning.
You didn't think I would let this pass, did you?
What are you talking about?
If my client is questioned, I need to be present.
-No one... -Inspector Devriendt
saw my client last night.
Bloody hell.
I'm going to file a complaint.
-We can talk about this, can't we? -I'm afraid not.
I've had a look at your notes.
I think I've found a way to coax a confession out of him.
Coax? Are we going to hold his hand?
Yes. Let's hear it.
Hristo said he turned the sprinklers on at the nursing home,
but besides that, he only had to observe and follow people, right?
Yes.
So what was he doing at the church for the Third Commandment?
In your notes, it says he drove past you.
He could claim it wasn't his motorbike.
There's no doubt he's lying. The question is about what?
-And about what not? -You've said it.
I would like to believe he's Moses, but...
I don't think he is.
He's making it up. You can't honestly believe he was only following orders.
-I do. -I will tell him. Bye.
Peter?
Liesbet wants to speak to you.
Are you serious?
Yes.
I know Hristo. I thought I'd find out more if I spoke to him alone. That's all.
What if we have to release him due to procedural errors?
Because of your unprofessional behaviour?
I know I made a mistake.
You've certainly made a mistake.
I'm taking you off the case, Peter.
What about Moses?
We've got Moses.
-But we need you. -She always overreacts.
-I'll have a word with her. -It won't change anything.
Just concentrate on the case.
I'm not dead yet.
I'll just work on other cases. Public urinating, neighbourhood rows.
-Don't act like you don't care. -What did Hristo tell you?
I'll put it in an email.
Have you got time this evening?
Yes, I have as it happens. I've got loads of time.
I will explain later. And I'll cook something, alright?
Chantal, I have to go. Bye.
Hello, Els.
Can we talk for a minute?
I don't see what we would have to talk about.
I want to explain. I never meant to lie to you.
No, you probably couldn't help yourself.
Do you know...
I had just discovered Johan had been cheating on me for quite some time.
So you used me for revenge.
No, Peter, it felt nice with you. It felt right.
Johan? Johan, no!
No! No! Stop! Johan, cut it out! Stop.
Stop!
Sorry, Peter.
-Be careful, Blue. -Yes, but he's not sitting still.
-Shall I do it? -No.
-Who hit you? A bad guy? -Yes. A very dangerous bad guy.
-You should have seen him. -Because you're so strong.
Oh my.
What about you?
I'll get some plasters. Stay where you are.
What made him so angry?
-Did you steal his bird? -I didn't even know he had a bird.
I thought it was only men who didn't say they were married.
-Have you found another job yet? -Yes.
Part-time sanitation executive.
Cleaning lady.
Anyway, now I can do the school drop-offs and pick-ups.
The nurse is back.
Yes, be careful.
-All done. -So...
-How do I look? -Quite silly.
-Sorry? -Very, very, very silly.
If I'd known you were going to put me to work...
You wouldn't have come?
It suits you.
I look tough, don't I?
Yes.
-I spoke to Sara this afternoon. -Really?
Yes.
She'll pay me 250 euros a month, she says.
-So you've been made a fool of again. -How do you mean?
250 euros times twelve makes 3,000, not 3,500.
Give it a rest.
She's still twisting you around her little finger.
That's Vicky.
There we go.
I can't believe my eyes. You ignoring a call from work?
No, I have to go home.
-Alex is waiting for me. -Call him.
-Tell him to join us. -Idiot.
Or tell him your sister is having a meltdown, and you're staying over at hers.
Go on then. Just one.
Heavenly.
Yes.
We should do this again.
Peter...
I had a moment of weakness.
But I'm not going to start an affair with my ex.
An affair? I didn't say anything about an affair.
When we were getting divorced, I told myself
I was never going to date a cop again.
What if I quit?
-You're going to quit? -Yes.
Moses is my last case.
I'm retiring.
Who is that?
Excuse me.
That's why you weren't answering your phone.
-How did you know where I was? -Just a wild guess.
Hristo has confessed.
To everything.
You methodically chose your victims, you followed the Ten Commandments,
so you wanted to make a statement.
This is the time to talk.
The world is horrible.
People are horrible.
People don't help each other.
They only think of themselves.
Look, look!
I am alone. Everyone is alone.
I told you what you needed to know. Leave me alone now.
-We kept going, but he refused to speak. -It doesn't matter.
We've got his confession.
Good work.
-I want you at the press conference. -No, there's no need.
A good night's sleep is enough for me.
How dare you ask, Liesbet? No, you can do it alone.
Alright. I'll put it in a press release. And we'll go for a drink after. My treat.
Moses.
Disappointed?
Maybe I am.
That's what happens when you look for someone for a long time.
It's always disappointing when you finally catch them.
I suppose.
What most people don't know, is that the Ten Commandments
are the most widely known laws in the world.
They aren't only endorsed by Catholics.
But also by the Jews and Muslims.
There are even a lot of non-Catholics who know the Ten Commandments
and try to act by them.
The world is chaotic today.
That's where the Ten Commandments can be a life line
for people who have doubts and are lost.
That's exactly what they are to me. A life line.
People make mistakes.
But people also have damaged souls. They seek support with others.
Thankfully, they find it sometimes, but unfortunately, not always.
There is only one commandment that is unambiguous.
That is "Thou shalt not kill".
The other commandments can be undermined or interpreted in many ways,
but "Thou shalt not kill" leaves absolutely no doubt.
Should we punish for that reason?
Who gives us the right to punish?
To not show empathy.
Or understanding.
Thou shalt not give false evidence against thy neighbour
