03x02 - The Nightwatch - part 2

[bunniefuu]

Daniel Devucht. ―That author
who won the Golden Owl.

He now lives with a
certain Elise Taelman.

Daniel does research. One
of his characters is a wh*re.

I met her in Sin.
- Sin City, the disco?

Vincent.
- How long has it been?

Was there a hooker with him last night?
- Roos de Vlieger. My niece.

We visited your sister.
- What's wrong with Phaedra?

Caught providing oral sex.

That's prostitution, right?
- You do it too, right?

I'm her guardian.
- Mother is dead and I don't have a father.

Rudy's gone. My sister asked
me to take care of them. I promised.

But Roos completely shields Phaedra.

Their father's fault.
- Fathers...

You don't have to take an exam for that.

What am I to you?

My neighbour.

Hannah Maes and her
father, the judge Robert Maes...

were victims of a brutal
robbery a few years ago...

where the judge's wife was r*ped.

Promise me that you will finally
stop this private investigation of yours.

An undercover for a few broken fingers?

For student prostitution.

First a customer, then a pimp.

Minerva, Ligier, Isuzu, Charon, Viotti.

Then Roos is Minerva.
- Five times 'DV'.

That's Devucht.
- There was a blonde among them. He spoke Dutch.

And the other one, Ligier?
- Small.

Erwin Struelens, CEO of Delco Dredging.

And this is Peter Dewindt. They
have both had a lawsuit against them.

Acquitted, I think.
- Mrs. Marleen Teirlinck.

Your father was a judge in those cases.

And what was Vermaelen actually doing here?
- He was called as a witness.

Kevin? Hamming software,
where can you buy that?

This is my first time here.

I'd like a slippery nipple.

That's a drink. A c*ck.

Have you worked for Ramses?

Why are you so interested in Ramses?

Are you g*y or something?

Hand job? Blowjob?

You old pervert.

What are you up to?

That's exciting, isn't it?

I'm not allowed to do that...

Ramses went by appearance...

or on origin.

Cara clearly has Italian roots.

And here, Elke. That's a Dutch one.

There was a person who knew her.

Only Elke has blonde hair.

And Elke had sex with Devucht.

Here. It's in Ramses' book.
- Elise.

Do not forget. Has the DNA
test already been completed?

Yes, that DNA test has been
completed. Negative. No match.

Picking everyone up for questioning?

Halt.



And goddammit, there's no receipt.
- If you don't treat those girls...

they don't say anything.
- So? Charles only has 56 euros.

Our little one doesn't
treat with Spa Rood.

Come on boy, work.

Are you sure you want to wait for
the DNA test before confessing?

And you also had sex with Devucht?

I just wonder why a handsome
young, intelligent girl...

just throws himself away.

Tell me something.

It's not what you think.

Going undercover doesn't
mean chasing your d*ck, Kevin.

It doesn't mean: let a
suspect give you a blow job.

Hannah, I had no choice.
What was I supposed to do?

Say: I'm a cop?
- Noise in the tent?

Our little one has emptied his
pocket at Vermaelen's expense.

Cheers, boy.
- Mind your own business.

Nobody needs to know about this.
- I'm taking you off the case.

Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?

You're friends with that
guy from Sin City too, right?

Now what does that
have to do with anything?

Nothing, that's what I mean.
It has nothing to do with it.

Here. Enter those PVs.

And you can pray on your bare knees
tonight that you won't be suspended.

Because if Elke gets a
lawyer, you are on your own.

Will you drop me now?
- Make your plan.

I've kept my mouth shut
for you so many times.

And that's what you're going to do now.

I'll follow the book. And
you always do what you want.

The ill*gal software.

Downloaded especially for you.

Good job, chief.

Come on, Charles. We're going to puke.

Mark Vermaelen here.
Problems with Mrs. Teirlinck.

We need you.

Keep me out of this, Mark.
- You have to, Robert.

You know what can happen.

You don't think I'm going to open
my mouth for 50 euros, do you?

Hannah Maes.

Did you see anything?

Did you see if it was a man or a woman?

Are not you scared, so alone
in a cemetery in the dark?

I come here often.

Now I see where you
got your looks from.

Beautiful woman.

She wasn't sick yet here.

Before she died...

she called me and Roos separately.

And she said she regretted
that I never had a father.

Is your mother still alive?

Have you called your sister yet?

Doesn't answer. Probably at work.

I don't want to be alone anymore.

Girl anyway. Who does
something like that now?

Someone who wants to hit Roos?

First her client, then her
pimp and now her own sister.

Why?

Maybe she's hiding something.

You might know...

Wait, girl. I'm going
to disinfect it first.

Do not.

Take good care of her.

Thank you.

Can't we just start over again?

From what point?

Go ahead.

Maybe important.

And?

What's wrong with you? Aggressive fool.

Let me go, boy.

Dirty cop. I did not do anything.

Bob, it's Hannah.

I know you're mad at me,
but you have to help me.

Koen, a writer has been molested.
A doorman has been m*rder*d.

This really isn't the
time to be silly in Sin City.

I know. It's just stupid.

It's personal.

Good. You've been in here long enough.

A PV for disorderly
conduct and letting go.

Straight home, huh?
- I will try.

Thank you.
- What was all that?

That is private.
- As private as that video of yours?

Sex with someone involved?

How stupid can you be?

Here you are. Twelve
journalists. Twelve pieces.

They called me. In the middle of the
night. Everyone has seen you busy.

That feeling of yours is an interest
conflict. Come, your service weapon.

You know: the Internal Supervision
Service will start the procedure.

I already know that procedure.

I'm going back to my bed.

Good morning. Chief Inspector Maes...

who recently received
an award, is under fire.

The reason is that she has private contacts
with a witness during an investigation.

She has been suspended with immediate
effect pending an internal investigation.

And because of the weight of the club...

make a nice swing. Go ahead.

Look at that. Good.

Did you put that video on the internet?

Please say. Good morning.
Of course not. Why would I?

Who then?

Someone from your staff perhaps?
- Which can.

I'll have it investigated.

That boyfriend of yours
has a solid right hand.

Does it hurt?

Are you OK? Real?

Why didn't you bring her home?

Because she didn't want to be alone.

Any excuse is good to
be with my uncle, right?

You would take good care of her.
- Mind your own business.

Or haven't you broken enough yet?

What are you going to do?

I thought you were suspended.

You'll leave us alone now,
okay? Or I'll call a real cop.

One that can keep her pants on.

Thank you.

How do you rate her?

Not. I don't rate her.

I barely talked to her.
- But you describe it in your book.

Roos is her sister's guardian.

I didn't even know she had a sister.

She's a lot younger. She's fourteen.

She doesn't look fourteen, does she?

They don't look alike.

But I'm forgetting my book.

Elke's DNA test. Perfect match.

Pick up again?
- Sure.

What's her motive?

She admitted that Ramses f*cked her.

But we didn't find anything. No
fingerprints. No one has seen it.

And when she says that
a certain Kevin Desmet...

Do you know?

Paid her to get a good blow job.

Then we can close
things down completely.

I am writing to the press
that in the interest of

the investigation will not
release any information.

Shut up and type, you.

We're doing something wrong, guys.
- 'We'? 'We' are not busy at all.

Kevin, can you do a background
check on Roos de Vlieger?

You are suspended.

Why won't she get help? And does
she mother her sister all the time?

Something isn't right in that
family. She's hiding something.

And she's not the only one.

Why do you need pirated software?

What did I say?

She doesn't trust us.

Ma'am, taxi to the Botanical Garden?

Have you seen that video?

That was stupid, indeed.
- Robert, she's gone too far.

Maybe. But she is your best asset.

And Vincent, that was a
youthful sin. A puppy love.

That's enough for a lawyer
to bring the whole case down.

Yes I know.

But Vincent is a witness.

A witness. No suspect.

Come on, Mark. Drop that suspension.

You have to give her another chance.

Robert, listen. I'll see what I can do.

Yes thank you. I'll pass it on.

Hannah apparently requested
three police files from the archives.

Of morals?
- No absolutely not.

And the day before
yesterday she was looking

at photos of old court
cases on her computer.

Here. That's what I told you.
Everything behind our backs.

But wait, what kind of files?

We'll find out soon. I'll get the copies.

Apres ski?

Are you alright?

I'm having a fight.

With whom?
- Everyone.

Should we go to my office instead?

That will please us.

We know everything.

What do you know, Charles?

Let's go back in time
for a moment. 1993.

Four months before the Struelens trial.

Your father is appointed judge.

He acquits Mr. Struelens.

And here. 2000.

Three months before the Dewindt trial.

Your mother is being r*ped.

Your father acquits Peter Dewindt.

What is your father doing?

Is he being extorted? Is
that what you're investigating?

Hannah, we want to help
you. But you have to want it.

Then we're wasting our time here.

In 1993, before my
father's appointment...

a completely unknown detective is
suddenly promoted to commissioner.

And now court files show that
that detective is the witness...

that the accused in
these three lawsuits...

was acquitted.

He had evidence falsified
or simply disappeared.

And that witness...

is Mark Vermaelen.

The Commisioner?

What do we have
hanging on our bike now?

Thanks for calling me.

Suicide?
- According to the doctor, around 2 o'clock last night.

With his hands in the iron? Are
you sure Elise didn't lend a hand?

She went to sleep at twelve o'clock.
She didn't hear anything all night.

Found it this morning.
She says. ―Is she home?

You are still officially suspended.

Visiting friends.
- It's private?

I can't stop that, of course.

Hello, Elise.

I do not get it.

His book had just been finished.
Why would he k*ll himself now?

Ligier was a wonderful
piece of innocence.

A Lolita.

And without knowing it
and without wanting it...

I became what I hated most.

He abused that wh*re's sister.

Phaedra is Ligier?

Naturally. Ligier is not a
full-fledged car, you know?

And Phaedra is still a child.
- But already a full-fledged wh*re.

Just like her sister. Already.

Monkey see, monkey do.

Have Rudy de Vlieger
signaled. Their father. Now.

But he ran off years ago, right?

Maybe he found out
what those two are doing.

If that is the case, then of course that
father wants to protect his daughters.

And so he wants to tackle Devucht,
k*ll that pimp, rip off that customer.

A classic case. Father
stands up for daughter.

Issues.

It is no longer necessary to signal Rudy.
- Do they have it yet?

As dead as mutton.

Was a homeless person. Frozen
to death. Buried by Social Work.

No one is ever buried without
the family knowing about it.

Hannah.

What do we do with Entertainment and...
- And your father?

Nothing.

Provisional.

Commissioner Vermaelen.
The Teirlinck file. Please.

When will those other files be returned?

Other files?
- Struelens and Dewindt.

Who borrowed it?

Chief Inspector Maes.

He came by again.
- When?

Four years ago. Mom
didn't want him to see us.

Why didn't you ever tell me that?

You were a bit too
young to understand that.

We are at Social Work.

And these were your
father's possessions.

This is you, it looks like.

Not true?

What I'm wondering is:
Why does a father run away...

if he knows his wife is pregnant?

And why does he have a photo
of his eldest daughter with him...

but not from his youngest?
- Stop, okay? Do not.

Your mother called you to her
separately just before she died.

What did she say to you?

That she regretted
that I never had a father.

And to you?

Did she mention that
Phaedra is your half-sister?

Did she say that Rudy de Vlieger
is your father but not Phaedra's?

Is that true?
- No, they want to split us up.

Who is my father?

I'm not allowed to say that.
- Whose?

From mom.

Who?

Phaedra, no. They
just want to break us up.

Who is my father?

I'm not allowed to say that.
- Whose?

From mom.

Who?

He's ashamed of me.

He choked me.

He sees it differently, I think.

He just wanted to protect you.

And what about Roos?

Why didn't she ever say anything?

Because she promised your mother.

He simply put up that video on the
internet himself. You came way too close.

I am her father.

I did what I had to do.

And what kind of father.

But yeah.

You don't have to take an exam for this.

Unfortunately.

Vincent, I...

I loved your mother.

And now it's up to you.

Thank you.

Hello, this is Hannah.

Mark here. We need to talk urgently.

In the Kremlin, in an hour. Okay?

When Mom and I in '93...

just bought this house...

my practice started to dwindle.

Business wasn't going well.

We were about to lose this house.

And then I learned Getting
to know Mark Vermaelen.

Young, ambitious...

and with good contacts at the lodge.

And before I knew it...

I was appointed investigating judge.

And Vermaelen wanted
something in return.

The Struelens case.

And in 2000?

Entertainment wanted me...

Dewindt was acquitted.

So mom was r*ped...

to force you?

And you just let it all happen?

What could I do, Hannah?

What could I do? I
had no f*cking choice.

You always have a choice.

Always.

You betrayed her. You used her.

Corrupt b*stard. I hate you.

On your knees.

You just abused her.

You abused her.

I should k*ll you.

Look at me.

Did Mark order Mom to be r*ped?

Did Mark give the order?

He expects me alone.

Wait for my signal.

Men.

He's not here.

Is someone there?

You watch him.

I have no excuse.

But you're my only friend.

You deserve better.

Hannah.
