- Can't it wait till morning? - No, not really.
There's something that doesn't add up. But I'll be brief, I promise.
- Let's go and sit upstairs. - No, no, I'm not staying long.
It's just... there was still one thing I was wondering about.
You told me your father only visited Nils twice in prison.
Yes. Yes, something like that.
- Why? - That isn't much at all.
Your brother was inside for almost three months.
Yes, I know. I don't think it's much either.
Who told you your father had only been twice?
- Freya? 'Hmm?
Who told you your father had only been twice?
I don't know. My father himself, I suppose? Or... or Nils.
Right. Because the visitors' lists say differently.
They say your parents visited Nils 22 times.
I didn't know that.
- That paints a different picture. - Yes, it does.
Is that Nils?
He used to have long hair, but my father didn't...
didn't like it.
And here, this is...
this is my father's idea of a holiday.
Sitting by the swimming pool, working on his laptop.
Did your parents keep quiet about visiting Nils so often or...
I don't know.
Sorry. Do we have to do this now?
I don't get what it has to do with...
I'm trying to understand why there's such a big difference,
especially as you told me your father didn't have a good relationship with Nils.
I don't know. Maybe... Maybe my mother made him go with her.
You didn't visit your brother much.
Four times.
That's not much, eh?
Nils asked me not to come again.
Because he was ashamed of what he'd done
and thought I'd be angry with him.
In your first statement
you said you thought you recognised one of those men.
I wondered if you'd remembered where from.
- I recognised one, uh... - Yes, that's what you said.
You told my colleague, with regard to the apparent leader,
that you seemed to know him from somewhere.
Oh, right. No, no, I didn't say that.
I said his voice reminded me of someone else's, but I didn't know him.
It says here "I felt like I knew the person.”
Then he must have misunderstood.
Okay-
Sorry. I don't want to kick you out, but...
No, no, I've finished. Just one more question.
Does the name Elias De Sutter ring any bells?
No, not right away.
It was someone who visited your brother almost every day to start with.
Just for the first two weeks, then he didn't go again.
- Sorry, it doesn't ring any bells. - It doesn't matter.
We're going to check him out in any case.
Right, thank you anyway. That was all.
Idiot! I'd almost got rid of her.
- What did you say to the cops? - Nothing.
- What did you say? - Put that...
Don't interfere! What did you fucking say?
- Put that... - Are you crazy, or what?
She's trying to stitch us up. Your brother too, all of us! Come on.
Here. Keep an eye on these two.
If the cop comes round, knock her out again.
I'm going to look for the mother before she calls the cops.
The search for Noor Hawal started at around 10 p.m.
near the treatment plant she escaped from.
Dozens of friends and relatives of the missing girl braved the freezing cold
to join in the search of the area, led by the local police.
Shit!
Fuck.
Tyre marks were found from the van driven by the offenders.
Initially it was feared the men had taken her with them
until a dog picked up her scent on the far side of the canal.
- Is it true you said that to the cops? - No.
I didn't say anything.
It's all in his head.
Where's my brother?
I don't know.
I don't know, honestly.
Look at me.
Tommy, you and I have to get out of here.
We do. Come on, give that here. Give it to me, go on.
Go on, give it to me. Come on, give it to me.
No!
We have to hurry. Her mum's gone.
Tommy. Tommy!
Tie that around her head, take her jacket off and tie her up.
Don't! No!
Come on, Elias.
No, no! What are you going to do? Stop it!
Elias...
The Mercedes in the garage, where are the keys to it?
Look at me. Listen to me.
I want you to stop panicking and...
I asked you a question.
- Where are the keys? - In a cabinet in the garage.
- Tell me what you're going to do. - I'm going to get the money.
- What will you do with the cop? - I'll take her with me.
- Where do you want to go then? - We'll see. We'll split that money first.
I'll drop you off at your car. You can follow me.
- What do we do with her? - You keep her till I've landed.
- I can't keep her for 20 hours! - Got a better idea?
Come on, 20 hours is far too long.
It will be hard to keep her quiet in my caravan if she comes round.
- Keep her somewhere else, then. - Where?
We'll see later, okay? First we have to get away.
- And Freya? Are we leaving her here? - It's her own fault.
Why are you so sure she wanted to stitch us up?
Why else would she say that to the cops?
There's someone there.
- There's someone there? - That cop.
- It's a cop! - Hell...
Drive back in!
What are you going to do? Hey, stop! Stop!
- Back, back. Back in the house! - Duck!
Just go back, go back. Fuck!
No, no! Back, back, back.
The door! Shut the door!
Close the blinds.
I said close the blinds!
What was that? What happened?
Elias, what happened? What were those shots?
- What happened? - Your mum called the cops.
Are those floodlights? How do I turn them on?
Elias!
Good evening. This is Bram, Federal Police.
May I know who I'm speaking to?
No. No, you may not.
You don't need to send in anyone. Everything's fine.
Just stay away from the house. Understand?
If I see anyone come near, I'll shoot someone.
People will get hurt. Understood?
Okay, we understand. But I can hear that you are on edge.
So I suggest we hang up for a moment and you take some time to calm down.
We'll call back in a minute
and we'll stay away, so there's no need to worry.
They're going to call back. We're stuck here. Fuck!
- We can still get away. - Can we?
- Take me as your hostage. - The car's had it.
- Phone for another one. - They'll never give us one.
How long have we got to collect the money?
- Till noon tomorrow. - And if we're late?
The locker opens and the money is for whoever happens to be passing.
Can't Serge go and get it?
Then, if we go to jail, it won't have been for nothing.
At least we'll have the money when we get out.
Call him.
Give me your phone.
In my pocket.
What have you done to Serge?
Did you snitch on him to the cops too?
Would I ask you to call him if I had?
Elias, Elias, don't.
- What did you do to Serge? - Nothing.
I haven't seen or heard from Serge since this morning.
Is it a coincidence the cops were at his door and we can't reach him?
I haven't seen Serge.
Go and check that everything is still secure.
- What do you know? - We've surrounded the house.
We're certain there's at least one armed man.
We've had phone contact. The same guy as before.
Freya is also inside with a second man. Offender or victim, we don't know.
- And the mother? - The mother was able to escape.
Vos, we're considering what to do but can't get in at the moment.
- So try... - Shh!
Give me your gun.
- Fuck. - Shh!
Don't say a word. Hands behind your head.
Over there. Over there.
Here.
On your knees.
Put your arm through there.
Is it you and Serge? Were you both going to stitch us up?
- Is that why we can't reach him? - No one is stitching you up.
Why did you say you recognised my voice?
I didn't say that. You heard me. They asked me to describe the voice.
I said it reminded me of someone, that's all. The rest they...
- Why did you say that? - I had to give the cops something.
Elias, stop being paranoid and untie me, come on.
We can still get away from here. We can make sure you make it abroad
but you have to let me help you.
Tommy.
Tommy?
- Fuck... - Hello?
They've gone.
- How many are there? - Two.
- I've got one. Where's the second one? - Looking for the other one.
Where is she?
Shit. They've taken the key.
I wouldn't do that.
Away from the door. Put the gun on the floor! Slide it to me.
Did you think you'd walk innocently out of here?
And hope the cops shoot us? Was that the plan?
That won't be happening. We're in this together.
Okay.
Elias De Sutter.
Kill her. Go on.
She knows who you are. Kill her, shoot.
We're not doing that. You won't get out of here.
Come here. Come on, over there.
Tie her up. No, not you.
You tie her up, tie her to the table. Go on.
Freya!
Stop it! Freya!
- What kind of person are you? - I was helping you.
- By killing a cop or what? - If you haven't got the balls...
Hands behind your back. Behind your back.
Don't say a word.
Keep quiet.
What happened?
- Has someone been hurt? - Nothing happened!
- Can we send someone in? - You don't need to send anyone in.
As long as you stay away, everything will be fine.
I need a car. Yeah.
Get me a car and clear the gate.
Free him.
Sorry, she suddenly appeared.
- Did you drive here? - Yes.
- Where's your car? - In the street.
Come on, back upstairs.
- Where? - In her shoulder, just a graze.
No, her first.
- Don't you think that's cruel? - What?
You know we can't let her live to tell the tale.
At least make it quick rather than prolonging it.
Take me as your hostage, that works too. And solve this now.
My colleagues will never let you go.
- Forget the getaway car. - Can't you at least tape her mouth?
There's only one alternative, to surrender voluntarily.
That's not an option for me.
Nils was your boyfriend, eh?
I saw how often you visited him in prison.
How did he die?
I'm asking because I don't understand.
What?
What you did.
That money, okay. That's one thing.
But wanting to take revenge on Rolf because of Nils...
On a father who loved his son...
Loved him? He fucking abandoned his son.
Are you sure about that?
Rolf visited Nils in prison 22 times, Freya four times.
- That's not true. - It said four times.
Those lists don't lie.
So something else is going on.
- Come on, Elias. - What are you trying to say?
Was Nils ever suicidal when you were together?
- Don't fall for that, Elias. - Shh.
Did he ever attempt suicide? Did he ever talk about it?
Are you trying to say Nils didn't commit suicide?
- Have you got any proof? - I just think it's strange.
- Have you got any proof? - I think...
Have you got any proof?
I haven't got any proof.
But if you shoot me, you'll never know.
Elias.
Elias, look at me.
Nils committed suicide, okay'?
I wish it weren't the case but he hanged himself from his cell door.
I let you read the doctor's report and his cellmate's statement.
Nils hanged himself from the door and his cellmate didn't notice?
It was at night.
If you hang yourself, you start kicking really wildly.
Against a metal door,
you'd wake your cellmate and the whole corridor.
So what did happen?
Of course you can strangle someone
and then hang them from the door afterwards.
Do you know his cellmate, Freya?
Answer her question.
- Do you know the guy? - No, I don't know him.
Let me call the prison. I'll ask for the cellmate's visitors' lists.
Okay, let her. Do you know the first thing she'll say?
Elias De Sutter, Tommy De Coninck. By the time you've got the phone back
she's no longer the only one who knows your names and that's it.
I won't mention your names.
- What's the code for your phone? - Come on, Elias.
I asked what the code for your phone is.
779246.
Come on.
You stay with her.
Okay.
One wrong word and you've had it.
Nieuwe Wandeling prison, good evening.
Good evening. This is Inspector De Vos, Federal Police.
I spoke to you earlier about Nils Van Landschoots visitors' lists.
Didn't you get them? I emailed them to you.
Yes, I did get them. But I've got another question.
Okay, go ahead.
Apparently Nils had a cellmate and...
I wondered if you could send me his visitors' lists too.
- Have you got a name? - No, sorry.
Okay, no problem.
Nils Van Landschoot...
Nils shared a cell with Daw Seynaeve.
Released in September.
Would you like me to email them to you again?
- Yes, if you would. - No prob/em. I'll send them.
Okay, thank you.
Can you tape the cop's mouth shut? The tape is still there.
- Hello? - I asked you to stay away from the house.
Yes...
So how come that cop has a gun she didn't have before?
So our colleague is there with you?
Is she nun?
Did you think about my suggestion?
Did you think about my request? Where's the car?
I've put it to the public prosecutor.
I don't care about that! I want to know where the car is.
- She doesn't think it's a good idea. - Not a good idea?
Look, if it's up to me we can solve this without violence.
But I can tefl you now, arranging a getaway car, forget it.
- lt's not going to happen. - It's not going to happen?
Must I make an example of your colleague
with the gun you fucking gave her, is that it?
You won't achieve anything by making threats. You know that.
Your only option is to come out unarmed.
Then ifs all over, okay?
I say there is another option.
I want you to get us a car and let us go.
Give us 24 hours and then I'll let your colleague go.
We have no guarantee you won't hurt her.
- That's not going to happen. - No? How can we be sure?
Because I say it's not going to happen.
Look, if you just come out unarmed...
I'm not coming out to be gunned down by you lot. That's not a proposition.
I'm just trying to find a solution with you.
But we have to be able to trust each other.
Look, you don't have to decide now.
But if someone in there is injured, please let them come out.
Okay, I'll let someone go. But then you have to do something for me.
Find someone. Davy Seynaeve.
He was released last year from Nieuwe Wandeling.
- Get me his number. - Davy...?
- Seynaeve. - Seynaeve.
Okay, we'll look it up for you and let you know.
But first you have to let someone go, okay?
- Didn't you say something about trust? - Yes. Why?
special units appear to be getting into position.
Trusting each other also means I have to be able to trust you.
You said you'd stay away from the house, didn't you?
So I assume that is still the case?
If I say the cops have to stay away from the house, they stay away!
- Someone from the special units... - This is your fault, right?
So don't bullshit me about trust.
Pull everyone back now or the next one will get it too.
Do you fucking understand?
What was that? Did they shoot at you?
No, me at them. They're surrounding the place.
They were even on the roof. Fuck!
How do you know that?
- News2. - What do you mean, News2?
They're broadcasting alive image of this place.
- Call them. - Who?
Call News2 and tell them to leave that view on screen.
Then you can keep an eye on the cops.
Fuck.
I've got the number of a News2 journalist.
She's been trying to call me all day about Serge.
Here, she's on my voice-mail.
- Hello? - Kr/lsr/en De/aruel/e speaking.
- Is that the journalist from the news? - Yes. Who am I speaking to?
The person trapped in the house.
I want to ask you something. I'd like you to broadcast me live on TV.
- Did you lie to me too? - What about?
About us.
Of course not.
Kristien, do you have this man on the line now?
Yes, and if all goes well, we should be able to hear him.
- Sir, can you hear me? - Yes.
Yes, you called us...
People aren't supposed to be getting hurt but the cops seem to think otherwise.
I expressly asked them to stay away from the house
but they are trying to get in from all sides.
I just want people to realise I don't want to turn this into a bloodbath
but if the cops make things impossible, then people will get hurt.
You have to help me. You have to show that view of the house.
Which view?
That view of the house, from the outside.
I don't know If that's possible. I'll have to check with the control room.
Yes, that view.
You have to stay with that view till the end of the program, okay'?
And no tricks! I can check any time if we're being broadcast live.
And if anything or anyone gets near the house, I'll shoot them on the spot.
I think I've made myself clear enough.
You just heard that too. A rather unexpected turn of events.
The hostage-taker had a clear message for the police.
What was your impression, Kristian? How did the man seem?
We have just heard the police apparently tried to...
They were after them?
I'm afraid I can't answer that.
It's part of the ongoing investigation.
Earlier today you said a peaceful solution is preferred...
Elias.
Elias!
Gunshots were heard inside the house. Surely that stage has passed?
Not necessarily. We continue to hope for a peaceful...
She's not moving.
Yes. Has that email arrived?
- What's your code? - 250470.
Not yet.
Did you know Rolf had chosen Nils to take over the company,
and not Freya?
- What's she saying? - It can't have been fun for you.
Having to live in your brother's shadow.
- Elias, do you want to get out of here? - Let me think.
- Take both of us as hostages. - Shut up! I didn't ask you, okay?
She just used us.
That story about her dad...
Nils going to pieces.
She was just getting us to do her dirty work, from the start.
What?
Elias.
- Elias... - We weren't supposed to survive either.
Tommy, Serge and me. Like Nils didn't survive.
Nils was my brother.
How dare you suggest I had something to do with that?
"Visitors' list.
"Davy Seynaeve.
"Monday 20 July, Freya Van Landschoot.
"Saturday 25 July, Freya Van Landschoot.
"Saturday 1 August, Freya Van Landschoot.
"3 August, Freya Van Landschoot, conjugal visit.
"12 August, Freya Van Landschoot, conjugal visit."
You spent more time on Davy's dick than you did visiting your brother in jail.
That's not true!
Nils didn't... didn't want me to visit him any more.
- He didn't want to be seen like that. - So you fucked his cellmate instead?
I didn't. Nothing happened!
I just wanted to find out from him how Nils was doing.
It was just a way of... of being able to talk to him in private.
- You asked Davy to kill Nils. - That's not true.
That's not true, Nils committed suicide!
Have you ever wondered what part you played in it?
You broke up with him when he needed you most!
It's your fault Nils is no longer here.
Hey! Elias, have you gone crazy?
No, no...
Hey. hey, stop it.
Hey...
Let go of me! I'm going to kill her!
Tommy.
Tommy, come here.
Tommy, hold on. Don't answer it. Let's think about this first.
Tommy?
Hello?
What's happened? Has someone been hurt?
We tried to contact Davy Seynaeve.
As you asked.
But he disappeared two months ago. He's listed as missing.
Can you please tell me whafs going on in there?
Sir?
Tommy.
Come here, come on.
Please, untie me.
Did you have Nils killed?
What about my brother?
Hmm?
I don't know anything about Serge.
Come closer.
Hey.
Come on.
I love you.
You know that, don't you?
What happened, happened.
I know you didn't mean for it to happen. I know that.
But without you...
Without you, he would have killed me.
Listen to me.
What we're planning to do, I still want to do it. We still can.
You and me together. Far away.
That cop is the only one who knows we've got anything to do with this.
When they storm the place later... Look at me.
When they storm the place later, we'll just say...
Hey.
We'll just say...
we don't know Elias, okay?
That you came here to ask about your brother.
And that he burst in here.
She's the only one who knows it's not true. Get it?
She's the only one... who's still in our way.
Get that gun.
Come on, Tommy.
Tommy?
Tommy, you have to do it.
Shoot her. Come on.
Shoot her.
Do it for us. You have to do this, come on.
I can hardly...
Tommy?
Police! Drop your guns!
Police! No one move!
Clear.
Hello?
Sierra 2. One target down in the kitchen.
Freya injured, medic ASAP, over.
We'll get you out of here, Freya.
Is there anyone else here? Is it just those two?
Anyone got any information about Vos?
Out of the way, out of the way.
Vos? Vos?
VOs?
Come on, hurry.
Madam.
Come on, Vos, wake up. Don't give up now.
Freya!
Out of the way, out of the way.
Clear the driveway there.
Is there anything else you want to say?
Is there anything you want to know?
- Did your colleague make it? - She's in a coma.
We now know who the second man was.
Elias De Sutter.
He was the one who carried out everything with Tommy,
everything that had to happen in the bank and afterwards.
With those tubes.
But the thing is, they didn't do it on their own.
There was someone else.
Someone who had a good reason to ruin your father's reputation
and make sure he'd end up in prison.
Someone who involved Elias and Tommy
and who came up with such a masterful plan.
I almost admire them.
It's someone you know, by the way.
Serge De Coninck.
Serge?
His description has been circulated
but he probably went abroad with the money.
I'd like to go over your statement again, if that's okay with you?
So... "Two men gained entry to the house.
"Tommy De Coninck, who'd come around earlier about his brother,
"and an unknown armed person...
"I begged repeatedly for him to let her live
"but Tommy pointed his gun at Inspector De Vos.
"At that moment he was shot.
"Immediately afterwards, special units burst into the house.”
"And the rest..." The rest we know, eh?
You're sticking by what you said, Freya?
Okay. We have checked everything out thoroughly
and based on what we now know
there's nothing that contradicts your version of the facts.
If you could just sign at the bottom, you can go home.
Here.
Arne to Observation. Target on her way out.
Okay, Arne. As soon as the target comes out, we will follow her.
Okay, thanks.
