I won't go to jail!
36 HOURS EARLIER
Emmy, Robin, buckle up!
Oscar is teething. If he's in pain, rub some gel on. It's in the blue bag.
RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY
- OK. - Don't let him cry through the night.
No.
For his bottle-feed, the formula's in the big bag.
Ask Emmy, she knows how much to use.
- Emmy? - Yes?
- Know how much formula to use? - Don't worry!
- Explain it to uncle Tom. - OK.
I'll buckle him in.
Do that every time you're in the car.
Don't put him on his sister's lap!
Come here, big boy. You'll be fine.
- He's strapped in. - OK.
Have fun, kids.
- Don't worry. - Emmy, your feet.
- If they want to swim, not in the sea. - OK.
If they want to buy something, be careful.
OK. What if I lose them in the dunes?
- Look for them! - Yeah.
Let's hit the road.
Like this.
Thanks, Bob, but I'm not patient.
There you go.
Years of experience.
- Do you have a stage name? - Bobby.
No, definitely not Bobby.
Bobby, Bobby, Bobby...
- Having fun here? - You've filled out.
Didier Van Berg and Arnaud Leconte from the DEA.
All good, Bobby?
- Bob. - We were about to leave.
The door's wide open. Feel free to leave.
What the hell are you doing here?
Xavier Pissaro and Dany Dewalque, remember them?
Fallen off the radar.
- They're not here. - He doesn't need a lawyer.
Don't you have anything to say?
Apart from telling you to fuck off, no.
What do you want?
It's Ecoled, Xavier and Dany's factory.
Guess what we found there?
This.
In an ashtray.
It's yours. DNA test.
DNA tests are done when there's a death.
Exactly. They may very well be dead.
They haven't been back home or at work for a week.
- That's sad. - Yes, it is sad.
So, this doesn't ring a bell?
What?
I don't know how that got there.
I've never set foot in their factory.
Check the CCTV.
Someone deleted all the videos.
And you're good with computers.
No, he doesn't know shit.
Why would your DNA be on file?
Theirs are on it too.
A bust. I'll explain later.
We're keeping an eye on you, pal.
Miss.
This also comes from Ecoled. Files that need to be decrypted.
Goodbye everyone.
The two jerks from the DEA are involved in a case
that the Committee P has just reopened.
A bribe case from three years ago.
Bob worked at the DEA back then, right?
- Bob! - What?
- Can you give me a lift? - Hop in!
Are you OK?
There's a pill at the lab.
- It's red diamond. - I know, but it's not mine.
I found it on this website.
It's like an Amazon of the darknet.
No smileys on that one.
- Is it a new drug? - No, it's been around for four years.
And who were the two guys the DEA mentioned?
Xavier Pissaro and Dany Dewalque.
Back then, they were suspected of running a red diamond ring.
Now they own Ecoled.
A light bulb business!
They must use the company to launder money.
Who could have gone into your car?
Anyone!
I leave it outside all day and...
I don't even lock it.
In the encrypted files your two pals brought,
there's proof of Bitcoin trading.
- Drug money? - I bet it's all anonymous!
Obviously.
But in the search engine history,
there's a Google Maps search from seven days ago for Chaumont-Gistoux.
That's my country house.
We haven't been here for years.
- Bijou thinks it's too humid. - Why don't you sell it?
Too much fixing to do to make a profit.
And we're fond of it.
Sam!
What are we looking for?
Hello?
Yes, OK.
It's the lab. They've confirmed that it is red diamond.
But it's a stronger dose than the one on their database.
Is it yours?
No, I...
I don't know what it's doing there.
Stay there.
What the hell is this?
Is it Xavier Pissaro and Dany Dewalque?
Fuck.
Sam!
How are you connected to them?
We almost got them three years ago when I worked at the DEA.
- What are you doing? - Calling the judge.
Shit, Sam! If you do that, I'll end up in jail!
I wouldn't be dumb enough to leave all that here!
The DEA can't find out about this.
Why?
There will be an investigation. If you're innocent, it'll be fine.
No, they won't look any further!
I'll get sent down.
- We must delete the Google Maps search. - We're not deleting a thing!
You've got two stiffs in your garden!
Sam, please...
I must find out who wants to set me up.
We'll lead an investigation on our end. You lie low.
- Don't delete anything. - OK.
- In 48 hours, we'll let everyone know. - OK.
Thanks.
Fuck.
- Was it a good idea to bring her here? - I know, she's risking her job.
I've asked her for preliminary findings and not to report anything for 24 hours.
Sorry about the mud.
I'll treat you to a meal.
Hold on.
"They've been there for a few days.
Circular injuries on one guy's chest.
And on the other guy's back.
Probably a finned bullet...
used for big game animals."
"No..."
Hold on, I'm not done! "No signs of a struggle..."
Eighty percent of the time, the weapon is found near the crime scene.
A Pauline Sissbach keeps cropping up in the red diamond case.
Check what you have on her.
FREE FOR THAT MEAL ANY TIME NEXT WEEK
Bob's gun fired the shot.
His are the only prints on the gun.
Both guys died seven days ago.
Probably at night
due to the humidity of the gunpowder.
Anyone could've used that gun.
Let's prove that Bob wasn't at the crime scene.
Seven days ago is a Thursday.
He goes to the movies every Thursday night.
- Can we prove that with his ticket? - That won't hold up before a judge.
He could've left the movie theater.
And Bob's cell was switched off at that time.
Of course it was.
Pauline Sissbach.
Bob arrested her three years ago.
She's just come out of prison.
Thanks.
Pauline Sissbach!
We wanted to ask a few questions.
I don't want any trouble.
What do you know about these two guys?
You know more than I do.
You can trust us, Pauline.
That's what the other cops said before they did this to me.
Which other cops?
If you'd rather the Committee deal with this, we'll back off.
We're not in the same department.
Xavier and Dany came to see me a month ago so I could cook for them again.
The new 2.0 version of red diamond.
I turned it down. I'm done with that life.
- But I already told Bob this last week. - Bob?
Doesn't he work with you?
- Bob Franck? - Yeah.
We still see each other.
He was my only visitor in prison.
- Why? - Ask him.
What were you doing on the 16th at 10 p.m.?
At home.
Hello, you've reached...
I have info on Pauline's ankle monitor.
Coming.
She was at home on the evening of the 16th.
She doesn't have much of a life: work-home, home-work.
She must get her food delivered.
What about red diamond 2.0?
That's also true.
I found the site it's sold on. An upgraded version of red diamond.
No smiley, old version. With a smiley, new version.
Like the one in Bob's trunk.
We have a new drug, two dead traffickers. Who are the suspects?
Rivals wanting to take back the market?
Parents of an overdose victim?
Why pin it on Bob, then?
Is there much more?
- This is the last one. - About time.
I asked for a search, not to empty out the place!
- Should've done it yourself. - Any findings?
Light bulbs.
Seriously? And the employees?
They didn't know anything. They've never seen him.
Thanks.
Oops.
Merry Christmas.
Strange that the DEA never found drugs.
- That's cuz they never looked for it. - I can't imagine Bob in the DEA.
He left on bad terms.
Why?
He wrote to the Committee P
condemning the way the DEA were soft on their informants.
That couldn't have gone down well.
It's a good reason to get revenge.
Right when they're reopening an investigation on them.
- Sam! - Bijou, how's it going?
- Is Bob there? I can't reach him. - He's out and about, you know him.
It's great to see you.
Come in. You want some coffee?
OK.
- How are the kids? - They're OK.
- How are things at home? - All good.
Look. Can we say hi to uncle Sam?
Hi!
Is Bob OK?
You see him more than I do!
Is that new?
A splurge.
This was too!
Bob's mom's inheritance finally came through.
About 20 pieces of furniture. That old lady was loaded!
An inheritance.
He didn't mention it.
Sam, are you sure you're OK?
Yes, I'm fine.
Thanks.
Can you tell Bob to call me when he gets back?
It won't be for a while yet, he's at the cottage.
Are you sure you're OK?
Sorry, I...
I have to go.
What are you doing?
- Stay back! - Don't be an ass!
- I'm not going to jail! - Move!
Fuck, Bob!
Stop!
Stop.
Where's the car?
Bob, where is it?
I don't know,
it's disappeared.
Don't be stupid!
I said I'm not going to jail.
Why didn't you say that you met up with Pauline Sissbach?
She's clearly linked to red diamond.
- Why didn't you say anything? - It's unrelated.
Are you sleeping with her?
- You're crazy. - Bob...
Tell me everything if you want to get out of this mess.
The drugs, the bodies, the gum...
How do you plan on doing that?
I need proof.
And you're destroying all of it.
I'm not going to pay for something I didn't do.
Goddammit.
Your hands!
Your hands! I want to see your hands!
Are you armed? Get out.
You're under arrest for the disappearance of Xavier Pissaro and Dany Dewalque.
Come on, let's go.
Right...
Is this yours?
Why are you renting this garage?
- For my mom's furniture. - Your mom's furniture?
Your mom's furniture looks interesting. What's that?
I don't know.
It's a cooking lab!
- It's not mine! - No?
Xavier and Dany's papers were inside.
Bobby, help us out here.
Don't call me that!
On the 9th at 9:26 p.m.
Look, CCTV in front of the garage.
And that's your car!
Those are your license plates.
Leave him, he's innocent!
You're not saying anything?
What's it used for?
To make drugs, you moron!
Take him away.
Get up.
That's enough, let's go.
What's going on?
I don't know.
I can't believe it.
Bob...
It's crazy.
What do we do?
Nothing.
Sam...
This stays between us.
You think you know someone, but in the end...
What are you talking about?
Bob was set up, that's all.
By who, Sam?
Don't accuse your colleagues. Ever.
They were ecstatic to take him down.
- The DEA? - Hm.
Bob taking the fall probably works out for those two jerks.
Pauline!
Bob has been in remand since yesterday.
- You have to help us. - I know nothing.
He's innocent. You have to get him out. Pauline.
I can't, sorry.
- Who were the cops who assaulted you? - Was it them?
You're out on parole.
If you don't want to go back to Lantin, talk to us.
I don't want to go back to jail.
- We won't hurt you. - We need to know.
Everyone knew that Xavier and Dany were behind red diamond.
Only I took the fall.
They were paying the DEA hush money to hide their involvement.
- That's why they never found drugs. - Why didn't you speak up?
Do you know what it's like to live in constant fear?
If I talked, I would've been dead.
My welcome gift in jail was just a taster.
Did Dany and Xavier do that to you?
They had an associate.
- He's the reason I got sent down. - Who was it?
Sam.
No!
He visited me to keep an eye on me.
He even paid for my lawyer. I was stuck! I had no choice.
I told Bob everything last week,
that Xavier and Dany had come to see me.
He hated being double-crossed.
It keeps looking worse.
Nassim, what's wrong?
The Bitcoin accounts in the encrypted files.
The bank the money was paid into.
Here's the account holder.
That's how he was able to pay for her lawyer.
No, he got an inheritance from his mom.
And the car?
The cooking lab?
The bodies?
I know all that! But it's too easy.
It's too obvious.
There must be another explanation.
Sam.
Maybe Bob just isn't who we think he is.
So, what do we do?
It's been 48 hours.
You can't go.
Camille, don't leave now.
Thanks.
We told Hélène everything.
I would've done the same.
It was going to come out anyway.
We found out who the Bitcoin accounts belonged to.
Why didn't you tell us?
I wanted to...
I wanted to help the girl, that's all.
You should've told us that you were seeing her.
What's the story with you two?
Three years ago, I arrested Pauline under duress.
She was the cook.
A pawn on the chessboard.
I had to find someone to take the fall for red diamond and...
She was easy.
Everyone wanted a name.
I needed results.
She was the first one we caught.
She was barely of age.
Terrified, easily swayed.
She never gave other names.
Everyone was happy.
We had our dealer.
And the backhanders?
Xavier and Dany were lining pockets and everyone wanted in.
- That's when I left. - With a briefcase full of cash.
No.
Why did we find photos of you at the bank if you never got a dime?
The accounts are Pauline's. Not mine.
She asked me to go get her money and I went.
It was the least I could do.
Like pay for her lawyer and find her a job?
I wanted her to go back to a normal life.
It wasn't easy for her.
She took the fall for the two others.
Now I know what that's like.
- Why didn't you say anything? - What for?
Who was going to believe it? I made an internal complaint.
- It didn't lead to anything, as usual. - They reopened the investigation.
We'll see.
And us?
Why didn't you tell us?
It's not my proudest moment in my career.
RECEPTION
Here. All the papers proving that Bob received an inheritance from his mom.
That will help get him out, right?
It's not him Sam. You know that.
Right?
We need things that will clear his name. For now...
Why aren't you finding anything?
He's not a trafficker or a murderer!
Bijou.
I know that.
My Bob's a nice guy. Maybe a little too nice.
I had my doubts too.
I thought he was cheating on me with Pauline.
I spoke to him about it, but he denied it.
I didn't believe him so I had him followed.
By a private eye.
But he wasn't lying, he wasn't doing anything wrong.
He would just go to the movies or for a drink with this girl.
Sam.
Get him out.
You're like family to him.
Something's not quite right.
- Sam... - I have to check something.
Sam!
Why do you keep persisting?
Sam!
He's our friend, but maybe he fucked up!
Nassim!
Show me the log of Sissbach's movements.
Here you go.
Her movie trips don't show up.
Maybe she lost signal. That's common in those devices.
OK.
Her days are very similar, right?
You're right. It looks like someone copied and pasted it.
I'm in the monitoring box.
The box linked to her monitor?
Yeah. These boxes are managed via a control center.
I've been given remote access.
There's been an intrusion in her box.
Someone changed the details.
She hacked into her monitor!
- She knows a lot about Bob. - Is she capable of doing that?
- She studied IT in prison. - And she had three years to plan this.
Sam!
Are you OK?
I'm fine.
- Sam! - Keep going!
Pauline!
Pauline.
Put it down.
Pauline, it's over.
Put it down.
Fuck.
I had no choice, Pauline.
I was...
backed into a corner.
I had to make an arrest and...
My colleagues would have demoted me to call-outs if I had reported them.
I know, you already told me all that.
And that you didn't take the cash.
You obviously didn't believe me.
I really wanted to help you, Pauline.
I thought we could be friends.
You thought we could be friends?
You ruined my life.
You sunk me.
I did my job, Pauline.
- You made drugs. - I wasn't the only one.
They should've paid for it too. I couldn't let them get away with it.
It's all your fault.
You ruined my life.
And you almost ruined mine.
I SAID NEXT WEEK
Oh, yes!
Restaurant next week.
But Bob has invited us over this evening.
Bob. Do you want to come with me?
Shall we go together?
Yes?
OK.
You look beautiful.
BUT YOU STILL OWE ME A MEAL!
I still owe you a meal.
Of course!
I'll treat you to a meal some other time.
New findings on the dossier on corruption in the DEA
in the Brussels-Capital region.
The indictment of several officers will begin tonight.
There we go!
Chicken mafé and pondu!
Thank you!
Here's to friends.
It's...
thanks to you that I'm here.
Stop, you'll make us cry.
Enjoy the one time you've done a good job.
No, she outdid herself.
Sorry, a compliment from the chef deserves a toast!
A toast!
Cheers.
Go on, Bob, you're up.
There's a...
There's an African proverb that says:
"Anyone that pokes at a nest of wasps should know how to run."
Except you're the ones who did the running
and...
I wanted to thank you for that.
I trusted Pauline, I didn't think...
she'd do that to me.
But you...
You had faith in me.
You really did.
I'm happy to have you as friends.
For me, saying "I trust you" is better than saying, "I love you".
I often tell Bijou that you're like family.
Here's to you all!
Here's to you, Bob!
- Here's to you, Bob! - Cheers!
