In the south of Belgium,
starting on March 22, 1997,
about 15 garbage bags were found on
roadsides over a period of six months.
Inside,
pieces of women's bodies were found.
The case of the Butcher
made the headlines.
Five victims were attributed to him.
All women, living alone,
aged between 21 and 43.
On October 18, 1997,
the cases suddenly stopped.
During 20 years,
the investigators explored 1 700 tracks.
We have never found out why,
nor ever who he was...
NO ENTRY
So Martha,
I thought you were already finished.
A little respect for Martha's work.
Is that too much to ask?
Sorry, I didn't know it was wet.
Sorry.
-What?
I didn't know it was wet.
You didn't know?
You didn't know that?
Continue, Martha.
Fine, fine.
So...
What's up with Julie?
That's pretty tight, huh?
Bitch... that's right...
I like... I like it.
"Do you want to play with my ass?"
Yes. I really would.
Kisses.
What is it now?
You're f*cking annoying.
He is so handsome. Yes.
Pause.
Leave me alone.
Won't you just leave me alone?
Is it good or not?
What's the matter?
I think there's someone in the house.
What?
I heard a noise in the kitchen.
Nobody's there.
You had a nightmare.
Did you eat too much sugar again?
No, I didn't.
-Martha.
I hate it when you lie. Say the truth.
I'm sorry...
-I didn't hear you.
I'm sorry, Felix.
It's OK.
Go get ready for work.
MY SON DISAPPEARED IN CHARELOI
Are you OK, Martha?
I'm sorry about last time.
I was a jerk.
I'm sorry.
So...
Do you have a boyfriend?
I asked you a question.
Do you have a boyfriend?
None of your business.
Who do you think you are, Stallone?
You think I thought you have
a boyfriend with that body of yours?
Go ahead and apologize.
You disgusting bitch.
Look... You have no appeal.
What I mean is that
I like that little dress you have.
Did you put it on for me?
Come here... Don't be scared.
Give me a kiss.
Don't move.
Don't talk badly of me.
I can get jittery.
I'm f*cking jittery sometimes.
Shut the f*ck up.
Oh shit.
Come.
Oh shit.
Something has to be done.
Something definitely has to be done.
It's not my fault.
I did everything like he said.
I'll do as Felix says.
I don't want any problems with anyone.
It's just the social worker who came by.
Why don't you get off your fat ass...
Bitch.
She's staying here.
What happened?
Nothing.
You continue...
To what?
To lie.
No, I'm all right.
I'm fine. I promise.
What's that smell?
There's no smell.
It was especially filthy today
at the factory.
Do you have your period?
-No.
It ended a few days ago.
Your medication. Thyroid.
Diabetes.
Don't forget to take them.
You're not hungry?
Not tonight.
You have to eat to get your strength up
so you can do your job properly.
Exactly...
Exactly?
Can I stay here with you
and not go to the factory tonight?
That's not possible.
You have to go to work
and not be noticed.
This is important, Martha.
Is there a good reason why
you can't work tonight?
Are people bothering you?
Are they giving you a hard time?
Are they still making fun of you
about your weight?
What's the reason?
There's no real reason.
All right.
So, finish your plate and go get ready.
There you go.
Go ahead Remy, have a f*cking go at it.
SHOWERS
You went through my room.
No.
No?
I mean... Yes, I...
I heard a noise so I just peeked in.
I swear.
Martha,
you have the whole house to yourself.
You understand you're not allowed
in my room and the other room, right?
Sorry, Felix.
What are you looking for, trouble?
No.
It's just that
I'm a little lonely in this house and...
you promised me some company some day.
That's out of the question.
It's way too dangerous for you.
But I will be careful.
I swear to you...
I'll take good care of it.
Look,
look how beautiful she is.
So you want to get locked up?
This conversation is over
so go take your medicine.
Dad would have let me have one.
I'm not Dad.
Is that clear?
Here's the news flash
with new gruesome discoveries.
After the three bags found on Monday
on rue de l'Hritage with the body parts
of unidentified women, four new bags
were discovered early this morning.
There is talk of one or more heads,
but this information
has not been verified.
We have learned from a reliable
source that the Corpus cell,
launched 25 years ago at the time
of the Mons Butcher case,
has been reinstated.
The investigation has shown
it was systematically women
who were alone and going through
a period of fragility.
In addition to the level of v*olence,
various elements had contributed
to the mystery of this case...
In more than 20 years, the investigators
followed nearly 1 700 leads
without ever finding any evidence.
Today,
the region has become terrified again.
On social networks, all kinds
of theories are being tossed around.
Has the Mons Butcher returned?
Internet users seem to expect him
to do start again...
Patience, Martha.
You seem to be in good shape.
Yeah...
Thanks.
Yeah I woke up and I'm...
different.
How's the coffee?
Are you thinking about me?
What do you mean?
You know what I asked you.
Martha, we've already discussed this.
It's not possible.
And I've already asked you
not to talk to me in the morning.
OK, OK.
Let's not get angry.
Take your medicine.
-I just did.
In that case,
have a nice day.
Good morning.
-Good morning.
I'm Mrs. Connecci,
I'm the one replacing Mrs. Charleval.
I'm your caseworker now.
She's retired.
So,
where can we sit?
Here, here is good, right?
There.
Yes.
So this is just a little courtesy call
to check up on you.
OK, thank you.
So... How's work going?
It's fine.
What about your coworkers?
They're great.
They're really my...
day-to-day support at the factory.
It's nice.
That's great Martha,
I'm glad to hear that.
Would you like another coffee?
No, thank you. That's very kind but...
I have to be careful.
-No problem, Mrs. Cock-tease.
Excuse me?
What did I say?
Did I say "cock-tease"?
-Yes.
I'm sorry,
that's not what I wanted to say.
It's OK, Martha. I'm Mrs. Connecci.
I'm a bit tired because of the pills
and the work hours at the night...
Excuse you.
Don't you mean, "Excuse me"?
That's right, cock-tease.
I'll take your pulse.
-That's not necessary.
Yes, it is.
Well...
your heart is beating rather quickly.
It doesn't mean
you are stressed all the time.
It's my visit that makes you anxious.
Tell your doctor
to recheck your thyroid doses.
It must be that.
That's it.
I'll be back in a month, all right?
OK.
Until then, if you ever need to talk...
Don't hesitate.
That's what I'm here for. Just call me.
All right? Bye, Martha.
You are welcome, ma'am.
Look who's here? It's Grard Depardieu!
I see you really can't stop
eating desserts.
Want some dessert? I could have
given you nice meat popsicle.
Lazy f*ck! Go clean sometime up,
you disgusting bitch!
You can open your mouth here
to suck my d*ck, you f*cking pig!
Disgusting bitch!
Felix?
Felix, are you home?
I brought what you asked for.
What did I ask for?
You better take care of it.
If you don't, there will be consequences.
You'll do exactly what I tell you to do.
All right.
Can I open my present now?
Patience.
That was never your strong suit.
That's why you have issues.
Let things come to you.
And seize them when the time comes.
Am I ready?
-Wait.
Martha, come.
Martha.
You'll have to feed her.
Go.
I'm sorry Julie
but you never respond to my messages.
After a moment, it's annoying.
Hold on.
This might sting a little bit, kitty.
Hold on.
Don't worry,
I'll get you out of here.
No, I'm kidding. I would never do that.
Since you'll be staying for a while,
you need to know a few things.
Are you listening?
First thing,
you should never get up before Felix.
Second thing, you should never look him
in the eye, ever.
He hates that.
That's very important, he hates it.
Plus, he's always right,
even when he's wrong.
But that's what men do, right?
You know better than I do.
And finally,
you always have to finish your plate.
Always.
It's good for you.
I'm going to get a little piece of meat
that Felix has for you.
Huh, kitty?
Well?
Feeling better?
Yes, I am.
Thank you.
Do you realize
that you can't keep her forever?
You'll have to get rid of her.
Not if she gets used to it.
If you're hard on her, then yeah,
maybe she can stay.
The family will grow.
Cool.
You really like filth, don't you?
You filthy girl.
Little pig.
Gross.
Completely...
gross.
I'm going to go to work.
If Felix comes back you'll have to...
You'll have to be brave.
Then I'll be back.
You're so thin.
I can touch your bones.
That's what men like.
See you, kitty.
Leave me alone.
I don't want to see you today.
Pull yourself together.
Hey bitch, do something.
This is my body we're talking about.
Gross.
Hey pig?
Go ahead, eat.
Are you serious?
Who do you take me for?
I'm not your maid.
Come here.
What's this shit?
You're disgusting.
Disgusting, aren't you?
You're really f*cking gross, aren't you?
f*cking disgusting, aren't you?
You're disgusting.
I'll take you to the factory. You'll see.
Go on, clean up your shit! Clean it up!
Go on! Lick it! Lick it!
Let's do the airplane?
Come on. It's tasty.
I can't do the airplane?
Come on, eat.
Kitty.
It's good.
Come on, eat.
Try it!
You have to continue,
or else how will you suck d*ck?
Come on, open your mouth.
Come on! Open your mouth!
You're overreacting, it's really good.
It's not good? I made it, so it's good.
You're going to eat it.
Hey kitty, do you eat?
Eat!
Come on!
There you go.
Is it good?
You're getting it everywhere.
Disgusting.
There you go.
Swallow, don't you swallow?
You swallow. For sure you swallow.
My kitty.
A spoon for Felix.
He's earned it.
There you go.
Is it good?
For Felix.
Do you prefer the rocket or the plane?
I prefer... hang glider!
You don't like it?
You don't like hang gliders?
Sorry.
I'm doing what I can
but you're not helping me either.
You prefer carrots?
Come on, I'll give you some carrots.
Here we go.
Like a d*ck all scrunched up.
We're going to land soon.
And...
Hurry up, or it'll shrink to a limp d*ck.
There you go.
That's good.
Are you OK?
Hurry up. Hurry up.
You shut up. Shut up.
Hello, Martha.
Are you feeling a little better today?
I am.
Let's sit over here?
So your primary care physician
gave me the results of your tests.
And... it's very good.
The diabetes is under control,
and everything else is very good.
That's great.
How are you preparing
for wonderful event?
It's OK.
And I haven't had the honor
to meet the dad yet.
It's not really important.
Well... it's the father, after all.
That's true.
Can I know who it is?
It's a colleague at the factory.
I found out too late,
and it wasn't planned.
Are you happy now?
Well I don't know...
I feel like I'm making you angry.
Really?
When the baby comes,
you're going to need help so I...
As a social worker,
it's normal for me to ask you questions.
What's that noise?
Probably a little kitty.
A lot of them wander around here
these days.
I'll get them.
I'll be leaving now.
Yes, leave me alone.
I'll come back when you're doing better.
Goodbye.
I missed you.
Are you drinking?
For special occasions.
And this is a special occasion.
I'm done with my work.
I'll be taking care of you.
And the baby.
How did you know?
What happened?
Nothing.
I passed out, I think.
Who was that woman?
What woman?
The one that walked out of here.
That's the social worker.
She comes every once in a while
to see if everything is OK.
I'm glad you're back.
You've been gone a long time...
It was too long.
I finished my work.
I'll be taking care of you.
And the baby.
We've got to take care
of what you've got in there.
And fast.
We have to do something, Martha.
Well, look who's here! Martha!
How are you?
It's been a while.
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm fine.
It seems
I've arrived just at the right time.
The break before the night.
Oh yeah, that's right.
Yes...
Are you OK, Martha? Are you sure that...
you can be back now?
I'm glad to see you again.
Thanks.
I don't know,
I still need some time.
I'll think about it.
I don't think I'll be back right away.
I brought you a present.
You guys like this?
Of course.
Mostly, I came because...
I'd love for you to come over
tomorrow night.
I'm not sure.
I'm inviting you to eat at my home.
I insist.
I'd love to. I have some news for you.
I already bought some whiskey.
If there's whiskey...
But... why don't you...
but why don't you tell us
right now, Martha?
It's a surprise!
Otherwise, it's not a surprise.
I'm making a beef bourguignon.
Oh, I love that!
-You know it?
I love it.
-What?
A beef bourguignon, idiot.
Martha, I will come with great pleasure.
Well, if Martha makes beef bourguignon,
it must be good.
I love beef bourguignon.
Me too.
Great.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That makes me happy.
Work well, boys.
Martha?
It's Mrs. Connecci.
The door was open so I...
I'll help you.
Don't be afraid.
Hold still.
It'll be all right.
There.
Be careful.
Here.
You're pissing me off
right up till the end.
What do you want to do?
Are you looking for the exit?
It's over there!
It's crazy how much energy you have.
You're the one who chose it.
You're the one...
Why did you come all the way out here?
After a moment
you have to own up to your bullshit.
If you keep coming to me,
you're bound to run into someone like me
sooner or later!
It's not my fault.
It's you! It's you who...
ask all these questions!
Now you assume your bullshit.
One day or another, you're bound
to run into someone like me.
What do you think?
You think people want to be like me?
They f*ck me,
they put me down, they laugh at me.
And you ask questions?
It's delicious, Martha. Really.
It's...
-Thank you.
The secret to the bourguignonne sauce
is that it has to simmer.
This is a dish that I plan ahead.
It's very good.
Does someone want seconds?
I can't say no!
Thank you!
And what do you have to tell us Martha?
I'm pregnant.
Do you have any idea who the father is?
No? Nobody?
I don't know either.
I mean, it's one of you, but...
we do know that Jerome will be an uncle.
Are you drunk or something, Martha?
No.
You r*ped me for months at the factory,
don't you remember?
You're into sodomy, right?
You're full of shit.
Oh yeah?
Ask Jerome.
He saw everything.
Without saying or doing anything.
Right, boss?
Would you dare to say otherwise?
When does this thing kick in, Felix?
It's starting to annoy me.
Patience, Martha.
It was never your thing.
Are you OK, Luc?
Come here.
What's happening to you?
A little patience.
But don't worry,
I put in a very small dose.
So you can enjoy it.
They'll be perfectly conscious.
