03x12 - Queen Olivia

[bunniefuu]

Olivia!

Olivia!

I'll care for her.

- Who is W., Mama?
- I'm not hungry.

- Who is W., Mama?
- I'm not hungry.

- Who is W., Mama?
- I'm not hungry.

Olivia!

Fabien...

Lotie...

Wouter...

- Hey, what's up?
- Olivia has gone.

Isn't she just somewhere else?

- What's happened?
- Olivia is gone.

- What's going on?
- He can't find Olivia.

I'm going back to bed.

She didn't feel well and we had
an argument. I don't know...

J-P, we all know
what she’s doing, right?

Fabien...

Jasper...

I can get it myself.

- I was just trying to be nice.
- Why?

- Any news from our lady?
- Not that we know of.

What's the problem?
What's so different?

- Nothing.
- Did I ask you?

- It's taking quite a while.
- I agree.

She felt bad last night. Maybe she went
out for some air and fell overboard.

- Then she'll never be found.
- What do you mean?

She'll sink to the bottom.
Sharks, whales.

- Whales?
- Can we change the subject, please?

P-J?

I searched the whole ship.

I don't get it. We're on a boat.

I don't get it. We're on a boat.

- She can't just disappear.
- No way.

- You can't reach her?
- I've called her a hundred times.

- I bet she'll surface somewhere. Here.

- Well done. Really...
- Isn't that a saying?

W is the only one who knows me,
who knows what's going on.

Adelinde...

Your mother and I have always
been very close. Very close.

Also when your father was still alive.

- That's just how it was.
- I'm not interested in why.

Usually the reason is quite banal.

Did my father know about your affair?

I don’t know what he knew.
You can't look into someone's head.

Of course you can. I do it all the time.
And you taught me.

It's the shortest route to the truth.

How would he have reacted
if he'd known?

Disillusioned.

- Angry.
- Furious.

He would have beaten you up.

- Probably.
- But he wouldn't k*ll himself.

I know you're looking for answers

Dut sometimes it’s better
to just accept things.

Your mother sought comfort with me.

- Comfort.
- Yes.

Did you love her?

- I still love her.
- I can't hear you.

Unidentified woman.
She was in her thirties.

Died from a blow to the back of the head.
Then she was thrown in the water.

- What's that on her face?
- Nibble wounds.

- Nibble wounds?
- Fish, shrimp. She was in the sea.

- Did she fall off a boat?
- Possibly.

She was stuck
in the first lock of the estuary.

Jasper, he was honest.
That's positive.

- No, it's the problem.
- Telling the truth?

Part of the truth.

It's typical during questioning.

He knows I see through such things.

Maybe it's logical
that he doesn't say everything.

- Jasper, it's all So personal.
- I want the file.

What file?

On my father’s suicide.

- No.
- I need it, Christina.

- Give it to me if you want to help.

Jasper, I see what's happening,
what it's doing to you.

You can't do this to yourself.

You need rest in your head. Rest.

It has to stop.

And it will.

When I know everything.

- ba*ls today, John?
- What?

Your lunch box.

Yeah, right.

- It's wonderful.
- It's Elke’s.

No, I mean how you are
with your daughter, I really like that.

I can imagine
it's not always that simple.

Sure it is.

Enjoy your meal.

This just came in.

- Thanks.
- Thanks, Bernard.

Yes, we've got a name.

Yes, we've got a name.

Olivia Braem. Her husband
reported her missing.

They were on board the Marjorie II,
a Sailing yacht.

Jan-Pieter Pinceel. Okay.

We'll have him come in.

Mr Pinceel...

Our commiserations.

We understand
it's really difficult for you right now

but we'd like to ask you
some questions.

You were with friends on that ship?

- Two other couples.
- Do you do that often?

- Do you always take cruises?
- This was the first time.

Wouter had read about it.

I thought it was a good idea.

I thought,
then I’ll have Olivia close to me.

Close to you?

Our relationship was... rather complex.

I thought she'd restrain herself
with our friends present.

- So your wife was having an affair?
- Not an affair.

Just... sex.

- And do you know who with?
- Mr Pinceel?

- With who?
- I didn't want to know.

Come on, you don't believe that.
Isn't it remarkable?

It's remarkable that he brings it up
without being asked about it.

- When was the last time you saw her?
- Wed gone to bed early that night.

I woke up... and she was gone.

Olivia!

I couldn't find her anywhere.

I knocked on Wouter and Vicky's door.

- But they weren't worried.
- Why not?

- They knew Olivia well.
- We all know what she’s doing.

But I knew right away
something bad had happened. I felt it.

She never stays out that long.

And she didn't feel well that night.

Olivia’s voice mall.
Leave a message.

Darling, it's me again.

Call me back as soon as you Can.

What do you think happened?

I don't know.

I thought he was quite straightforward.

In the beginning.

But after that he became vague.

Often the suspect will tell a bit of the truth
to gain goodwill and trust.

In most cases,
he gives away half the solution.

But his solution isn't right.

- She was dead before she fell in.
- And Forensics?

They're still on it.
It's not going smoothly.

- Why not?
- Ship owners fear negative publicity.

They experience
quite a lot of disappearances.

Someone books an expensive cruise
and pushes her overboard.

Sometimes people are evil.
There is only wickedness.

Pure evil.

- I don't trust her husband.
- Come on.

His wife has slept around for years
but suddenly he has a problem with that

and kills her
with two couples as witnesses?

That's just why.
He played it perfectly.

Calling her constantly.
A big panic and knocking on doors?

We'll have a chat with these friends.

Unless the professor has another idea.

I'd talk to the friends if I were you.

- Raymond?
- Hello, Commissioner.

That's been quite a while.

- You're fixing it now.
- Yes, we're trying.

- I have to look something up, okay?
- Yes, okay.

I've asked Ms Sneyers
to get me his personnel file.

- And?
- Only insignificant things there.

Someone has removed
the most important documents.

someone wants to keep
something hidden from me.

And I'd like to ask you
to help me find the truth.

- Raymond?
- Yes?

I'd like to take something with me,
is that okay?

- You fixed it already.
- Yes.

It's a favour for a friend.

Okay, but you'll have to sign for it.

Thanks, Raymond.

Raymond...

thanks.

Olivia is my best friend.

Ever since kindergarten.

She was a witness when we married.

I’m her first child’s godmother.

But we heard the atmosphere
on board wasn't ideal.

- There was an argument?
- Olivia was really pushing J-P.

I didn’t want to know anymore. She...

she really overdid it.

- She slept around?
- They were divorcing.

- There was someone else?
- There always was.

Who?

- No one specific?
- No, no idea.

- But you were good friends.
- Yes.

I told her not to tell me.
I didn't want to know anymore.

But she did tell J-P.

Look...

those two did have
a serious fight that night.

- How do you know?
- We heard.

- Everybody did.
- We slept on the other side.

- Do you think he went over the line?
- J-P? Over the line?

It wasn't the first time
he and Olivia had a serious...

- We've known him for 15 years.
- He’s a great guy. A wonderful dad.

- We've known him for 15 years.
- He’s a great guy. A wonderful dad.

How come the kids didn’t come?

- It was Lotje’s idea, right?
- Yes.

To go without the kids. Not having
to get up early and all that hassle.

Okay.

You don't have kids?

Not yet, no.

There's one on the way.

- Congratulations.
- Thanks.

- It's early days. Don't tell anyone.
- I understand.

- It's early days. Don't tell anyone.
- I understand.

But Jasper, do you want
to discuss this here?

Jasper, are you sure?

Jasper? Who's there?

There was no coroner,
so no autopsy report.

Just the police report
with the bare findings.

Your father hung from the bannister
above an overturned char.

There’s also a piece of evidence.

- Maybe a farewell letter?
- No, there wasn't.

I can go and get it tomorrow.

Yes.

Jasper...

You have to sign for every file.

In every record office.
The university's too.

I went there to check.

Your father's personnel file.

I know who took things from it.

- The dean.
- How do you know?

Suspicion is the only defence
against betrayal.

Saskia, I don’t know...

What?

I wouldn't do it.

Reading that stuff.

A Little Pregnant
My Pregnancy

- It's great.
- It'll unsettle you.

- No, John. I just want to be informed.
- Okay.

- Have you looked...
- On the web? Yes.

I know what you mean
but I’m quite level-headed.

Okay.

No, no. Thanks.

- Was that Christina?
- Yes.

- She visits you a lot lately.
- Mum...

Yes?

Why did you start something
with the dean?

I don't expect you to understand.

Do you still love him?

- Walter is a kind man.
- That wasn't what I asked.

Oh, Jasper.

And then your father's death...

I don't know.
I had to care for you, too.

Had to.

And by the way, Walter loves you too.

I have to do the dishes.

Boy, it's really cosy here.

This was John's idea.

If she had sex with anyone on the boat,
likely it's a crew member.

We asked the ship owner
for the pictures.

And by the way,
Forensics found nothing.

Little chance
she was k*lled in the cabin.

- And the autopsy report?
- Not there yet.

Okay, keep me posted.

- May I pose a hypothetical question?
- Of course.

Suppose...

a married woman falls in love
with another man.

The two start a secret affair.
The woman's husband commits suicide.

- Why don't they continue the affair?
- Really?

Did your mother have an affair?
With who?

That's not important now.

With the dean.

Exciting.

- Exciting.
- I feel you doubt my sincerity.

On the contrary.

I think the only logical explanation
is fear.

- Love doesn't yield to logic.
- Oh, but it does.

It's logical that Romeo and Juliet
fell in love.

- If only because it was forbidden.
- There has to be another reason.

Ladies and gentlemen,
the million dollar question.

Why didn’t Adelinde and Walter
Start a long-lasting relationship?

Answer A, she met someone else.

Answer A, she met someone else.

Answer A, she met someone else.

Answer B, the sex
was a real disappointment.

Answer C, she felt guilty
about your father's death.

Answer D,
they shared a terrible secret.

Answer B, about the bad sex.

I think it's C. Guilt always pops up.

Their love leads to death.

I think it's D. Adelinde and the dean
are directly responsible.

I think it's D. Adelinde and the dean
are directly responsible.

I think it's D. Adelinde and the dean
are directly responsible.

That sounds like a Serious accusation.
Is that your definitive answer?

I don't know.

I really don't know what happened.

The autopsy report.
A double homicide.

- How is that?
- She was pregnant. Three weeks or so.

- Maybe that's why she felt bad.
- Or why they argued.

They hadn't had sex for months.

If the child isn’t his,
he’s got a motive.

If the child isn’t his,
he's got a motive.

Right, but how did he do it?

suppose the argument escalates
and he hits her and she falls.

How does he
get her upstairs unnoticed?

- We talked about that already.
- And no signs of violence in the cabin.

What about the other couples?

We spoke with Wouter and Vicky
but not with Fabien and Lotje.

- Why not?
- We can't get in touch with them.

That's weird, isn't it?

Yes? Christina?

- Let's go back to those best friends.

- That face rings a bell.
- Yes?

But I’m not sure he was with Olivia.

No, neither am I.

It's difficult like this,
from a picture.

- Some more coffee?
- Did Olivia say she was pregnant?

- What?
- Was she pregnant?

No, she hadn't told me.

- Me neither. How long?
- Not that long.

We're trying to get in touch with Fabien
and Lotje, but no luck so far.

- I can give you their number.
- That would help.

They're always on the road.
Where's my phone?

Where you last put it down, dear.

My god, pregnant...

She did talk with this one
for quite a while.

She did talk with this one
for quite a while.

- Didn't she? With him?
- Yes.

It's the bartender.

- Jens Claerhout.
- Yes.

- You're the bartender on the Marjorie II?

Do you know this woman?

Yes.

- What?
- You tell us.

- These things happen.
- What things?

You're not serious.
Did she file a complaint?

I mean, she took the initiative, not me.

- I didn't r*pe her.
- She was k*lled.

- What?
- She was found in the water yesterday.

f*ck, man.

k*lled?

I have nothing to do with this.

- Yes, but you had a fling.
- Sure, but so what?

She slept with everyone.
I wasn't the only one.

I caught her in the toilet
with the husband of one of her friends.

A black guy. But really...

- Do you mean this man?
- Yes, that's him.

I don’t know if this is a good idea.

Are you Okay, Jasper?

My father didn't commit suicide.

He was k*lled.

Will you take that?

Yes, I knew.

I knew they were involved
but not that she was pregnant. Did you?

- I didn't know either.
- What? You were there.

Did you use a condom?

You didn’t use one.

- Did you confront her with it?
- No.

Mr Van Besien, you knew she was
pregnant? That's a serious problem.

- I didn't know...
- An accident, perhaps.

- Now she's dead, problem solved.
- I didn't know.

Wouter and I were in the bar
until half past two. Ask the staff.

You had a motive too.
The deceived wife.

- That's quite something.
- Yes, I was furious with her.

Furious!

- Her death is one person's fault.
- Whose?

It was her own fault.
some people get what they deserve.

Fabien and I
have nothing to do with this.

No condom...

- Is that what I had to sign for?
- Yes.

- And?
- Have it checked for traces of DNA.

- Why?
- It wasn't possible 40 years ago.

- That's not what I mean.
- Jasper thinks it was foul play.

He thinks... his father
didn't commit suicide.

You know it doesn't work this way.

There's no case,
no examining magistrate, so no mandate.

Plus, you need more
than just suspicion.

I had hoped
you could return a favour.

Come on, Paul. For all the cases
he’s helped you solve.

- It isn't that simple.
- Nor is solving cases.

- I'll see what I can do.
- Thanks.

Paul...

Thanks.

Damn it...

- My father didn’t commit suicide.
- That's a serious accusation.

- Is that your definitive answer?
- Yes, answer D.

They share a terrible secret.

Is chicken soup okay?

Is chicken soup okay?

Chicken soup is fine.

What did Olivia do
after the fight with her husband?

And with whom did she go
to the upper deck?

Okay, elimination. Who is it not?

- Don't think. Instinct.
- Lotje and Fabien.

They both have a motive, but he has
an alibi and she's just mad at him.

- Okay. And the bartender?
- No, he doesn't have a motive.

- Her husband?
- Yes, he has a motive.

But I told her I didn't want to know
anymore, not to tell me.

In most cases they give up something
truthful to gain goodwill and trust.

- It's the best friend.
- Often that’s half the solution.

It's Vicky.

She lied.

she told us a half-truth.
Olivia came to her that evening.

She had to tell someone
she was pregnant.

Yes, that’s possible.
Vicky was alone.

Her husband was at the bar.

Could be.

And how do you want to prove that?

Will you call him?

Inspector?

No, not now.
I don't have time. I'm busy.

If you have to check some things,
I'd rather meet tomorrow.

- I think we've got a chance.
- That's the inspector we spoke to.

We shouldn't spoil it, of course.

Professor?

I didn't sleep very well.

Come on.

- Thanks for stopping by.
- Sure...

But I don't really understand why.
And you are?

- He's here to protect your rights.
- My rights?

He’s a legal aid counsel.

Just one question. Okay.

We talked to Mr and Mrs Van Besien
yesterday.

- Our main suspects, actually.
- Oh...

Olivia was pregnant with Fabien’s child
and Lotje knew.

- She knew?
- Yes.

You told us
you didn't know about that.

That's correct.

- Olivia was your best friend.
- Yes.

Like I said, I didn't want to hear
about her affairs. It didn’t interest me.

Wouldn't you share a pregnancy
with your best friend?

I don't know. It was still early days.
I wouldn't mention it either.

Yes, that's true. My girlfriend and I
waited for a while as well.

Yes.

Okay.

Then why did you tell us
you were pregnant?

That was early days.
And you've been trying for a long time.

- Ten years.
- Lotje told us.

She didn’t want to take the trip
without the kids.

- She said it was your idea.
- No, that's not true.

But it could be...

Travelling with children
while you want one yourself.

Yes, but now I’m pregnant.

Fourteen in vitro fertilisations.

- How do you know that?
- We looked it up.

- That's private, right?
- You wanted it pretty bad.

You were really quite desperate.

- You're not pregnant.
- What?

It just wasn't working.

Olivia does it once
and she's pregnant.

she wants to be sure
and goes to your cabin.

She asks for a pregnancy test.
She knows you always have one around.

You told us you were pregnant
to take away your motive.

- What motive?
- Jealousy.

But I wouldn't k*ll someone
out of jealousy.

- You can't look into someone's head.
- Sure. I do it all the time.

This way they're not getting there.

Evil often wins...

but it never prevails.

- But you I believe.
- Thanks.

The statistics prove it.
Jealousy alone isn't strong enough.

Shame and humiliation,
on the other hand...

Shame and humiliation.

- Yes?
- Vicky, you won't believe this.

- Oh no...
- Just when we're separating.

Great timing, right? Damn it!

You have to accept your responsibility.
You already have two kids.

You really don't know
what you re talking about.

The whole damn day
they're crying and carrying on.

And it never stops.

I only have to look at a guy
and I’m pregnant.

- Say, is that a good idea?
- I'm not going to keep it.

The first thing tomorrow
I'll call the clinic.

- ab*rtion. Want some?
- No, thanks.

Olivia, let me adopt your baby.

You looked at her full of hope
and begged for that child.

That way both your problems
would be solved.

But then she did something awful.

Vicky, you fool.

I won't let you adopt the baby Fabien
gave me. What are you saying?

You, a mother?
You wouldn't last a month.

It wasn't my intention.

This wasn't the intention.

It was a stupid accident.

She fell and...

she landed badly.

You didn't bring her upstairs
by yourself?

No.

Wouter came and helped me.

It was his idea.

It really was an accident.
A terrible accident.

Shame and humiliation.

But a slap out of frustration
isn't what k*lled her.

Okay, I guess I had that coming.

shame, humiliation and pure evil.

Because she deserved a final blow.

Your best friend scoffed
at the wrong person.

She had the bad luck
of encountering pure evil.

A psychopath.

Because you are the embodiment
of everything that’s bad in this world.

I can't prove that

just like I can’t prove God's existence.

But strangely enough
you are the ultimate living proof

that there must be something
that is good, beautiful and powerful.

Something that guards us
from someone like you having a child.

You damn b*stard.

Why does evil never prevail?

- At the start you said...
- The good thing about evil

is her fierceness.

That leads to self-destruction.

- Fortunately.
- Yes, I agree.

How did you know
about the adoption?

- A hunch.
- Could we have a word?

Yes, have a seat.

I've got the preliminary results
from the DNA test of...

Well, you know.

Yes. You just might be right.

They found two different traces.

One is probably your father's
and the other...

Can't the guy act normal for once?

- I guess there's nothing stronger?
- Sure. In Rabet's office, I bet.

John, would you mind
being our child's godfather?

Just think about it.

Has Jelena returned yet?

No, she’s still on holiday.

- Mama...
- Walter came by for a visit.

How cosy.

Right, I'd better get going.

Jasper.

Walter.

I'll do the dishes.

Hey...

Judas.

Judas.
