03x11 - Dakloos

[bunniefuu]

Well, that’s one thing we agree on.

Yes, our Lobke will be a really good
godmother, don't you think?

Yes, I agree.

And the godfather?

Yes.

- That's difficult.
- Yes.

Otherwise, two godmothers.
That would be okay, too.

What if it's a boy? Isn’t two mothers
and two godmothers a bit much?

What if he wants to play football?

It might be ballet.
That's possible, too.

- What, a f*g or something?
- My God...

Mister!

You all right, Mister?

- Are you okay?
- I'll take over.

- All right.
- Mister?

Mister?

Mister? Can you hear me?

Mister...

I’m Saskia. What's your name?

- I didn't mean to.
- What?

- Sorry, I didn’t mean to.
- It’s all right, it'll be okay.

Call an ambulance, just in case.

Mister...

I m*rder*d him.

I m*rder*d him.

I m*rder*d him.

Everything will be okay.

I m*rder*d him.

Walter...

Adelinde.

Well...

did you find them?

No.

He must have beaten me to it.

Male, mid-50s, homeless.

- How do you know?
- Locals know him from the Dam.

- And he m*rder*d somebody?
- That's what he said.

I m*rder*d him.

I m*rder*d him.

Had he been drinking?

- No, something was on his conscience.
- And no ID on him?

No.

Come over here.

So this time,
we're not looking for a m*rder*r

but a victim.

Okay, as long as there are
no other cases, it’s fine by me.

Thanks, boss.

I sent you a photofit.
I had one made.

We'll split up.

I've just been to see your mother.

she’s getting better by the day.

- That's good news.
- Yes.

She'll probably be allowed
to come home tomorrow.

But she can't look after herself yet.

That's normal.

Have you given it any thought?

Maybe you should pay her a visit.

That's difficult, I’m rather busy.

It doesn't look like you are.

- Professor, your visitor is here.
- Thank you, Ms Sneyers. Busy, busy.

Professor De Paepe.

It's been a long time.

Yes.

Yes, it has been a long time.

I guess time doesn't
heal all wounds, eh?

Colleague, Ingrid.

Ingrid!

- Take a Seat.
- Thank you.

Professor...

I'm here to ask you something.
A favour, actually, yes.

Do you remember my theory that there
could be something like a criminal gene

and that it may be possible to detect
this gene, even at the embryonic stage?

I certainly remember your proposal

for the mass ab*rtion
of criminal foetuses.

Well?

- What's Dr Mengele doing here?
- If only I knew.

I know, I know...

I paid a high...

a high price for making those juvenile,
rash statements, eh?

Maybe it was inappropriate

but the fact is
that my assumption was correct.

The last brain scans
proved me right, by the way.

The brain of a criminal
displays measurable anomalies.

So it’s not all that strange
to suppose that

a medicine could be developed
to cure this problem.

Look, I...

This is my paper.

I've edited and updated it
to include the latest results.

And I'd like to ask you
to write the foreword.

Do you recognise this man?

Mister?

- No, never seen him before.
- No. Thank you.

And now?

Thanks.

- 2 euros lighter?
- 2?

- 2 euros lighter?
- 2?

More like 22.
Seems like they're working together.

Maybe we should take one of them in.

Hold this.

Hey, here, for you.

- Good morning, Police.
- They're doing nothing wrong.

- We didn't say they were.
- Yeah, right.

Do you know this man?

Why?

It's Stef.

Why?

You're not going to do it, are you?

Jasper, for God’s sake.

Herman Cools, he’s...
the guy’s insane.

We had to expel him.
You re putting your reputation on the line.

I hope you have other reasons because
my reputation is the least of my worries.

What if he starts playing Dr Mengele
again, like a few years ago?

- You won't put your name to that?
- Don't worry.

It's free, and in return, Mr Cools
will give a guest lecture.

- What?
- No reason to make me Say it twice.

There’s no reason
because I won't allow it.

Dean, what's the task of a university?

- To teach people to think critically.
- Exactly.

And we won't do that if we present
only politically correct ideas.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have an interesting paper to read.

Thank you.

THE CRIME GENE

Stef?

Oh, god damn it.

This upsets me so much.

- I saw him just yesterday.
- What do you do, exactly?

Well, the basics.

A meal, a bed, a bath.

A doctor.

- Did Stef come here a lot?
- No, not really.

He was a bit of a loner.

Any idea why?

No.

- Did something happen?
- I don't know. Why?

Well, I imagine living on the streets,
conflicts arise.

Not that I know of.

WE WON'T BOW
TO TERROR, HATE AND DIVISION

How did Stef end up on the streets?

That was before my time.

- He never told you?
- If they don't want to say, I respect that.

- So there was something.
- Did I say that?

- Why do you want to know?
- He had no trouble with anyone?

Trouble?

Stef was a good man, a kind man.
They do exist, you know?

- Do you know his surname?
- No.

You help with medical aid, right?
So you must have a file.

Boss? Stefaan Dedecker, 56,
on the streets for six years.

In good health.

Tell Missing Persons
so they can close the case.

I'll do it.

There are two possibilities.

Either Dedecker
once committed a m*rder

and that's why he was on the streets

or he did it recently and there’s
a body somewhere we don't know about.

- John, your password?
- Elke.

- You won't find it there.
- What?

- Your body.
- No, but I'll find an address.

Where he lived
until five years ago with...

Myriam Coppejans.

John?

He didn’t suffer.

It all went very quickly.

Why was your ex-husband
on the streets?

Ms Coppejans?

It's... It’s all his fault.

Here.
This is Juul, his brother.

Family business becomes big player

They worked together?

They had a business.

- In what?
- In soap.

- And they did well?
- Yes.

And then Juul suddenly wanted
to supply supermarkets...

and everything went wrong.

Soap off shelves after burns

A production fault
and Juul should have foreseen it.

People got burns from the soap.
How stupid can you be?

Scandal hits company

It was over, bankruptcy, debts.

And Juul ran away with everything
that was left in the kitty.

And Stef...

Stef was left holding the baby.

Where’s Juul now?

He's probably lying beneath
a palm tree somewhere, I don't know.

- You think he m*rder*d his brother?
- Yes.

You haven't got much.

I know, but it does all add up.

I think Stef lived rough as a kind
of self-punishment for what he did.

- k*lling his brother haunted him.
- How will you prove it?

The soap factory is now disused.

- The chance it happened there...
- Big.

- Yes.
- You want to send in Forensics?

Yes.

Christ.

- Come up with something quickly.
- Okay. Thanks, Paul.

John...

I think she needs this, Paul.

The guy died in her arms.

- And it all sounds logical.
- Okay.

The file.

You coming?

You call the magistrate,
I'll get onto Forensics.

All right.

- For a little while?
- Yes.

- Is that for a little while?
- He's a big eater.

Chicken, if possible.

- Chicken?
- Yes.

I’m not going to eat it, Conny.

Put it in my car.

Right.

What's worse?

Discovering the truth
and learning to live with it

or never knowing
why you became whom you became

just because
you don't dare to read a diary?

That'll be 165 euros.

Ladies and gentlemen,

today you will be treated to a guest lecture
by an esteemed colleague.

Dr Cools is a neuropsychiatrist
and was once a fellow at this university.

What you are about to hear
may in many ways

mean a breakthrough
in an important public debate.

Dr Cools.

Thank you, Professor Teerlinck.

Thank you very much
for your kind introduction.

GUEST LECTURE
Doctor H. Cools

Right, let's get started.

Here, you see the amygdala, also known
as the corpus amygdaloideum

which is tucked away
deep within the temporal lobes.

Tiny and seemingly insignificant, this is
where good and evil fight their battles.

You could say that it is the birthplace
of our conscience.

- It's a big building, Saskia.
- Yes, I know.

- Okay.
- I'm absolutely sure.

It happened here, I can feel it.

I see a couple of surprised faces,
but it’s the truth.

Whether we choose to...

Whether we...

Whether to deceive people,
rob them or r*pe them, or worse,

even m*rder them, right?

That's the question
that is posed and answered right here.

It won't surprise you, in fact,
that you're living proof

that the majority of humanity has
a healthy and well developed amygdala.

scans of convicted criminals,
on the other hand,

show striking anomalies.

Their amygdalae
are invariably underdeveloped.

I admit that the solutions
I proposed in the past

were rather drastic

and also, Dean,
that the time wasn't yet ripe.

That's why I went in search
of a more acceptable remedy.

And I think, dear students
and colleagues, I've found it.

Boss?

Ladies and gentlemen,
let me introduce... Tofrantizol.

Damn it.

I'm telling you, this is the medicine
of the future, okay?

This is the remedy
that could help criminals

become proper and decent citizens.

f*ck, I was so sure. Maybe we should
have the whole place dug up.

- We'd never get permission.
- He's here somewhere.

- Saskia...
- Juul Dedecker was m*rder*d.

- I’m 100% certain.
- Saskia, John...

This is Juul Dedecker.
He wants to bury his brother.

There was no other solution.

I left everything behind.

My girlfriend, my house,
which was now the bank's anyway,

and I spent my last cash
on a bus ticket.

To Spain.

Your last cash?

- And the company's kitty?
- Who mentioned that?

That doesn't matter.

- Your sister-in-law. Milk? Sugar?
- No, thank you.

That's how she is.

The kitty was empty.

There was no money left.

- Things are better now.
- I worked in a Supermarket for a year.

Then the owner quit
and I took over the business.

I now have five stores.

I shouldn't have run away.

- So...
- Yes, Dean?

You're saying crime can be eradicated
from the world with a simple pill?

Yes, Dean, I am.

I think that Tofrantizol
could change the world

and that we may well be able
to offer the world

a society without violence,
without crime, yes.

- The students had a lot of criticism.
- Oh, who cares?

Yes, go ahead.

How will you decide
who is given such pills?

Well, that's...
something we need to look into.

- We could maybe use brain scans.
- You can't scan the whole population.

No, right, but we could
perhaps select certain groups...

Certain groups? That's discrimination
because you'll decide who is inferior...

That politically correct thinking
led to cliche after cliche from students.

I know different.

I foster no illusions
but I'm not giving up.

Right, I'll leave you two alone.
Dean, Professor.

Professor, I hear
you have other activities too, now.

You assist the police.

We all like to employ our talents
to benefit society.

Yes, indeed. I do, too.

Charity work and that kind of thing.

Gentlemen, see you soon.

- “Talents to benefit society”?
- You ought to try it. It's very satisfying.

Christina.

Christina?

Sorry guys, but I can’t justify this
any longer.

We're releasing the body
and closing the case.

But Paul!

- Paul, that guy confessed to a m*rder.
- Close the case, Saskia.

Mum?

Mum?
Do I have to take off my shoes?

Mum?

Mum!

Where's that ambulance?

Yes, I know, John.
We're nothing without a body.

And if he buried it, we'll never find it.

It could have just happened.

Okay, there is a body.

It just hasn't been reported.

- Because it’s not a suspicious death?
- Seems not.

- And Rabet?
- Rabet is upstairs, eh, Saskia?

Here, you're the boss.

Okay.

We'll check all the morgues in Antwerp.
I'll print a list and we each do half.

I haven't been to Russia for 40 years.

I have family graves to visit.
And I heard I have a right to holidays.

- I know, Jelena, I Know.
- All right, I won't go to Russia.

I'll stay here.
You're almost family anyway.

don't cancel anything.
Go to Russia and visit your family.

Who will look after your mother?
she’s dying!

- I'll look after her.
- Someone loyal like...

- I'll look after her.
- You?

- You cant even boil an egg.
- Yes, I can!

- I can poach eggs, too.
- I've never seen you cook anything.

I've never seen you cook...

poached eggs?

You've never done that for me.

Jasper...

It's lovely
that you want to care for her.

Our biological connection
brings a number of obligations.

I'll pop in again tomorrow.

Good, Jasper.

Good.

I expected nothing less.

God damn it, Adelinde!

Good morning.

- Well, anything?
- Not yet.

The autopsy report is in.
Nothing special.

- Internal bleeding, of course...
- Yes, from the accident.

Hang on.

Someone was brought
into St Vincentius on the 14th.

Someone was brought
into St Vincentius on the 14th.

It's possible.
The day before yesterday.

Its possible.
The day before yesterday.

Cause of death?

- What doesn't add up?
- My father.

I thought he committed suicide
because he was depressed

but the man in the diaries
isn't depressed at all.

He drank, but he wasn't depressed,

so something else must have happened
so horrible that he did what he did.

- Something that’s in the diary?
- Probably.

And you're not sure
whether you want to know?

You know the story
about Pandora, right, Jasper?

Everybody forgets there's something else
in the box besides misery...

hope.

You're forgetting
that Pandora shut the box too soon

and that hope remained inside
and only misery escaped.

- You're a difficult patient.
- No, you're difficult.

- No, you.
- You make things difficult.

- You.
- You.

You.

That'll be 65 euros.

- I thought you didn't like me now.
- Of course I like you.

- I'm still your only man?
- Of course.

That's all right, then.

Antonie, would you fetch Mr Kuycks?

Willy Kuycks.

43 years old, homeless,
found in a subway vent.

Probable cause of death,
alcohol intoxication.

Blood tests were performed.

The body hasn't been claimed
by anyone yet.

No external signs of violence
so no cause for further investigation.

- What about these bruises?
- Hey, he lived on the streets, John.

Besides, a couple of bruises
don't k*ll a man, eh?

He has extremely low values
for the proteins C and S.

- Meaning?
- They're coagulants.

If they're this low, a minor internal wound
can cause shock and death.

The same as with Stef.

- What's the cause?
- It can be hereditary.

But he'd never have lived this long.

Or he took blood thinners.

Well, a lot of blood thinners.
An overdose.

- Why would he do that?
- And how did he get them?

Ms Sneyers,
can we talk to the professor?

I can ask him, but he’s very busy.

Maybe I can help?
I solved the last case, too.

Shall we make another bet, Connie?
For a bottle of fine whisky?

- I'd rather not, actually.
- Deal.

My money's on Dr Mengele.

Professor, some police officers
are here to see you.

Yes.

A good single malt?

Eh, Kafka? Yes.

Eh, Kafka? Yes.

It seems simple, Dedecker
is at loggerheads with Kuycks.

They fight, Kuycks dies of internal bleeding
and Dedecker gets run over.

He had nothing, but died anyway.

A couple of things don’t add up.
Dedecker wasn't aggressive.

He was a good man, apparently.

And we think
they both took blood thinners.

Lots of blood thinners.
According to the coroner, an overdose.

How do two vagrants
get hold of blood thinners?

Professor?

Yes, that is strange.

I see you don't have
Dedecker's blood sample.

- No, the body's been released.
- That's a problem.

Not necessarily.

Inske, is that T-shirt I wore on Tuesday
still in the wash?

John...

Sorry.

Professor.

Just a sec.

Ms Sneyers?

- Would you do something for me?
- If it earns me money, always.

Doctor, a couple of questions
concerning that foreword.

But not over the phone, if possible.

Fine, see you later.

- Inske, where’s that T- shirt?
- In the washing basket.

- Inske, where's that T- shirt?
- In the washing basket.

John’s here.

You're not allowed to see this yet.

- Is everything okay?
- Oh, yes, round and healthy.

And the baby, Inske?
Yes, fine, John. Thanks for asking.

Sorry.

- It's all right.
- It's all right, yes.

John, can I have your phone number?

You see, I asked Saskia for it

but I’m not allowed to ask
because I mustn't disturb you.

- But if anything happens...
- I understand.

Come on, John, I’ve got it.

- Yes, Paul.
- Get in your car now.

Bring Saskia and get over here.
You know what this is about.

- Damn it! What did I say, damn it?
- Hello, Inske. Thanks, Inske.

Have a nice day, Inske.
Have fun.

I don't get it.
What are you trying to prove?

- Saskia... Where is she, anyway?
- She’s checking...

One vagrant kills another and gets hit
by a moped. What's the problem?

Paul, wait...

- There'll be no trial, the k*ller is dead.
- We think blood thinners are involved.

- Blood thinners?
- The same?

But the victim had thin blood,
not the k*ller.

Dedecker has the same blood values.
Also blood thinners.

How did those guys
get hold of blood thinners?

I think I know. Come on, John.

You can't be serious?

Willy as well?

- Sorry.
- Oh, f*ck.

It's so disheartening sometimes.

You keep trying to drag those guys
out of the sh*t, but there’s no point.

- How did it happen?
- He probably got into a fight with Stef.

- Impossible.
- It got out of hand.

They were friends, they never fought.

You said you offer people medical help.
How does that work?

A doctor offers consultations
twice a week, a volunteer.

- For free?
- Yes.

- Do you keep records?
- I'm not sure I can give you those.

- I doubt Willy and Stef will object.
- Because they're dead?

Stef came twice a week.

Without fail.

And so did Willy.

- What’s the name of the doctor?
- It’s there, isn't it?

- Ingrid.
- Herman.

- Is Professor...
- Up the stairs on the right.

Yes, I know.

And it's Ms Ingrid to you.

Ms Sneyers?

Yes.

What?

The professor just got a visitor...
Dr Cools.

For the foreword,
I had the following idea in mind.

Modern conditions
like depression and burn-out

are recognised as illnesses.

Why couldn't we also do that
with lack of empathy

or... unscrupulousness,
that kind of thing?

What do you think?
What's your opinion?

I think I'd rather discuss
scientific method.

Yes. Of course.

And...
you think that's relevant here?

You claim
one pill can save the world,

So I'd like to know the scientific
methodology you've employed.

You know.

You came to me
because you knew full well...

I'd find out.

I hope you understand that I never
intended anyone to get hurt.

- Then what did you intend?
- Proof by inversion.

I had chosen two friendly people.

Friends, actually.

And I asked them
whether for a period of two months

they'd take a drug that interferes
with the functioning of the amygdala.

If I could show

that they became violent as a result,
I'd have my proof.

And what was your method?

I'd promised Stef and Willy...

a wonderful meal by way
of compensation for the experiment.

But that wasn't quite true.

I'd prepared only one wonderful meal.

I'd prepared only one wonderful meal.

And Willy claimed it all for himself.
Stef... got nothing.

And normally,
Willy would have shared the meal,

especially with his best friend.

Nothing like that now.

Then everything went so fast.

You know that SSRIs
have blood-thinning side effects.

The fact that you chose vagrants
was no coincidence, of course.

No, I know.

You're right.

I confess.

I came to you because I knew
you worked for the police

and I hoped that you would at least
see that it was for a good cause.

Your words.

We all like to employ our talents
to benefit society.

We all try to...

employ our talents to benefit society.

Right?

You put the lives of innocent people
on the line to prove yourself right.

shall I tell you
about some other idiots

who thought a human life
was Inferior to their own mission?

I tried my best.

I worked so hard.

It's your word against mine.

There's no proof.

But there’s a witness.

Professor Teerlinck...

Mr Cools.

you re under arrest for the manslaughter
of Stefaan Dedecker and Willy Kuycks.

Dr Cools?

You were a worthy opponent.

Thank you.

You're driving.

Jasper?

Yes, Mum?

When are you going to tell me?

Tell you what, Mum?

That you're reading my diary.

If there's something
you want to know, just ask.

W is the only one who...

Who is W, Mum?

You think
he's going to start digging?

I’m sure of it.

- But it mustn't happen.
- No, it mustn't happen.

I'm not hungry.

The doctor says you have to eat
to gain strength.

I'd do as the doctor says.
