One of the whistleblowers against Bibi Franken.
That's her driver for decades, right?
Wife left him and the country, taking the kids.
We're sending someone over to break the news.
Something tells me that won't be a surprise.
Bibi Franken was never going to take kindly to betrayal.
She didn't waste any time, though.
Tomorrow's only a preliminary hearing.
If it goes ahead.
I've sent Eddie to watch the other safe house, the one where Daan Franken is.
She wouldn't seriously kill her own son, though, would she?
This is Bibi Franken we're talking about.
He is about to dish the dirt on their entire drug-dealing empire.
I thought he was the chosen one about to take over.
Well, he was.
Something must have changed.
So... How'd the killer get in here?
Not sure yet.
Got a protection officer?
Security?
Yeah, well... About that... KALIE: Oh, great.

PIET: Well.
No wonder the killer got in.

Wow.
You got my sympathy.
Evening, Piet.
(coughs) And what a fine one it is.
Oh, don't sound it.
All right, what we got?
Well... Strangled with a shower curtain, right?
Well, there's strangled with a shower curtain and strangled with a shower curtain.
The difference being... Of no interest to me whatsoever.
So, how'd the killer get in?
Was it through the window?
Careless.
KALIE: Gregor must have opened it.
As I was saying... And you didn't hear anything?
I mean, you should have heard something, surely.
Oh, you think so?
Says the man who could never listen.
Well, you don't have to listen when you've heard it 1,000 times.

Gregor was a decent man...

You want to talk me through what happened?
I went upstairs to check on him.
Can't have been more than five minutes after he went up.
And that's when you found him.
Yeah.
Alerted the officers who were watching the area.
Called the other safe house to warn them.
Tried to resuscitate Gregor, worked on him for about ten minutes.
Officers closed down the area, got here seven, maybe eight minutes later.
Killer had already gone-- no sign.
How?
If officers were in the area?
According to your... timeline, killer had a maximum of maybe, what, 20, 25 minutes to kill Gregor Albers and then get away.
It was dusk-- the woods around here are pretty dense.
He must have slipped through.
Oh, do you think?
I do.
What's the alternative?
Well, I mean, I guess, you being the murderer.
I guess that's sort of crossed my mind.
Right.
I get it.
So, I kill Gregor, and then hang around to make a fool of you?
Well, good point, 'cause that's not going to happen.
Hm.
Any other theories?

I'm not even going to answer that question.

Everything was in place.

LUCIENNE: Do you know anything about this?
Never seen it before.
It was in his wallet.
It's a notice of death from last year.
Sofie Lommel, 26.
All it says is "died in mysterious circumstances."
Does that mean anything to you?
No.

Maybe he wanted us to find it if anything happened to him.
She's referred to as a "beloved daughter."

Yeah, it's cold and dull, but perfect view.

Yep.
Who's there?
There's three people inside.
State prosecutor said it would be up to us if we want to go ahead.
If we want to cancel, we have to inform them first thing in the morning.
No, we can't give in.
We can't give in.
That's exactly what my mother wants.
And for once, it's not her call.
Agree, although continuing comes with risks.
Look, I know all about the risks.
Okay?
The whole point was drawing a line in the sand and finally saying to my mother, "No more."
All I'm saying is, no one would blame you if you pulled out.
Oh, Jesus.
What about you guys, hm?
I mean, I'm not the only one whose life's in danger.
Been waiting for years to get something on your mother.
No offense.
(chuckles): None taken.
And what about you?

Where's Citra when you need her?
Greek islands.
Our loss is Europol's gain.
Right, keep your eyes peeled.
How's my favorite girl?
(whimpers) Come on.
I'm fine, thanks.
(panting, barks) Daan Franken's agreed to continue with the hearing.
Has he got a death wish or something?
Maybe he's just brave.
That's one word for it.
Where's the hearing happening?
State-run high-security compound outside the city.
He'll be fine once he's there.
Yeah, if he gets there.
(engine starts) Oh, he will.
Because you're going to go in the car with him.
Are you trying to get rid of me, as well?
No, I'm trying to make sure that-- assuming Bibi Franken is behind all this-- she's finally brought to justice.
We've been here before, though, haven't we?
She has an annoying habit of buying judges.
Yeah, there is that.
I mean, security didn't exactly shower themselves in glory.
We need to look into that.
Kalie Tenkers, I gather.
Kalie's one of ours.
You really think she could be involved?
Well, we can't rule her out.
Gregor Albers was killed on her watch, and the one thing we know for sure is that security was compromised.
Mm.
So, who we've got with Daan Franken?
We haven't.
Daan Franken's a free man who refused police security.
Went with a private firm run by Baz van Zijl.
Right, let's check him out.
Already have.
Ex-special forces, highly decorated.
Lot of undercover work.
Security for the royal family.
Then branched out and set up a private firm.
Daan Franken's clearly paying for the best.
Maybe he's not as stupid as I thought.
You all right?
Do we know where Bibi Franken is?
Wherever she wants to be.
Her lawyers got her bailed pending the hearing.
We think she's at her country residence.
JULIA: Think?
Why don't we know?
Her muscle won't let us past the gate without a warrant.
Yeah, not very friendly-- what about the other son?
The one who runs the vegan cafes.
Xavi-- very hip, very eco.
Arguably the only one not involved in the family business.
Yeah, but he could've used family money to set up the business.
But still, sort of Franken-lite, I guess.
PIET: Let's talk to him.
We got anything on the woman in the death notice, Sofie Lommel?
Not yet, but whoever she is, she doesn't seem to be Gregor Albers' daughter.
The kids that we know about are all abroad with his ex.
I've asked Eddie to run her through the system.
He's meant to be watching the safe house.
He can multi-task, you know.
Who's the lawyer acting for Daan Franken?
JULIA: Anton de Haas, representing both Daan Franken and Gregor Albers.
PIET: Anton-- nice guy.
Hasn't won a high-profile case in years.
He's hardly gonna have Bibi quaking in her boots.
No one else wanted to take it on.
I wonder why.
LUCIENNE: Right, medical examiner has cleared our murderer, Jacko Gallas, for questioning.
That's me.
You coming?
PIET: Yada yada yada.
That's your problem, Jacko.
You just don't know when to stop, do you?
It's making my ears bleed.
What really intrigues us, though, is your little hidey-hole.
That wasn't exactly improvised, was it?
Meaning you had access to the safe house before anyone was even there.
How does that work, then?
We checked your CV.
(inhales sharply) Pickpocket turned petty thief, and then you get in with the Frankens, and you've done plenty for them, beatings, mainly.
So what?
What if I have?
Is Daan Franken next?
Was that the plan?
Lie low there for a bit and then go for Daan this morning?
Or is that someone else's gig?
No, we're wasting our time.
He's not going to talk.
Well, I'm doing me best here.
Must be some technique we can employ.
Shoot him in the kneecaps?
Or waterboarding?
Uh, okay-- can you do it this time?
Oh, yeah.
I mean, we could always just leak that he had a severe attack of the verbals.
Yeah.
♪ ♪ He didn't exactly seem bothered, did he?
Maybe he thinks Bibi and her lawyers will get him out of here.
They usually do.
Hey.
Hey.
Debrief with your boss.
Oh, I've already given her the headlines.

Um, the protection officer at the other safe house, Baz van Zijl, what's he like?
A pro.
Smart, thorough, good on detail.
You could learn a thing or two.
Oh, lovely, thanks for that.
Is he vetted?
100%.
I'll head over to the safe house later.
Extra backup.
Oh, we're already covered on that.
JULIA: Kalie, how nice to see you again.
Come in.
Not fancy a debrief with Tenkers, then?
No, I don't.
Been there, done that, didn't enjoy it the first time.
Well, maybe the universe is throwing you back together for a reason.
Yeah, well, that would be one messed-up universe.
Besides, me and Lena, we're in a very, very good place right now, thank you very much.
That explains it, then.

Try Gregor Albers' death.
Had you heard?
We need to talk to your mother.
Ah, yeah, you've, um, come to the wrong place.
It's not really her thing, serving food in a café.
Besides, in case you haven't heard, we're, yeah, we're not close.
Oh, we'd heard all right, yeah.
But like any son, you can always call your mum, see how she is, what she's been up to.
"You ordered any hits this week, Mum?"
You know the kind of thing.
Well, her business, it's, um, yeah, it's not my business.
Even if she's about to take out your brother?
PIET: Is that what you want?
You're not close to him, either?
Look, um... Whatever my, my mother and my brother, they get up to, it, it's nothing to do with me.
I worked hard to distance myself.
Sure, yeah, but it's hard, isn't it?
You know, to cut the apron strings entirely.
LUCIENNE: We heard Mum bankrolls your cafés.
Blood money, right?
PIET: Give your mum a call.
Tell her I want to chat.

Yeah, her name's Maud.
Good, send it over.

Everything's been arranged-- it's all in place.
Well, everything had been arranged at the last safe house, as well.
No disrespect, but I'm here under orders.
That's not really your jurisdiction, is it?
Well, the murder investigation is.
And if I know the killer's next target, why let him out of my sight?

Maybe the van across the road.
The same way they knew about the safe houses.
(stammering): A mole, a bug.
Kalie.
Kalie has clearance.
She was meant to be here with Gregor Albers, remember?
And she's checking with security right now to find out how there might have been a breach.
Double check.
'Cause someone had access to plant a bomb here.
And Bibi Franken knows all about it.
She rang me just after, said... (stammers) (sighs): She said I should have met her earlier.
LUCIENNE: Seriously?
That's an admission of guilt right there.
Can't we just haul her in for questioning?
No, not based on a phone call.
How did she get your number?
I don't know.
She's messing with us.
Right.
Whatever way you want to play this, it's fine by me.
If you want me to cut you some slack, I need to be kept in the loop-- non-negotiable, okay?
And you don't go anywhere near Bibi Franken without back-up.
Or without me.
That clear enough for you?
Crystal.
HENDRIK: Dammit, Piet.
I thought I was finally gonna get you on my slab.
Sorry to disappoint.
I imagine time and cause of deaths are all across, yeah?
Yep, give or take.
Well, plenty to discover.
(coughs): You'd be surprised how much you can learn from body parts and blast injuries.
Cheerio.
The lawyer remained unscathed, right?
Maybe he rang Bibi.
Let's go!
I'm okay.
(sirens blaring) (phone ringing and vibrating) You're a lucky man.
Not really.
Lost both witnesses.
Case closed.
Well, we're missing an officer, which kind of changes everything.
You know anything about that?
No, how would I?
The van across the road-- I mentioned it to you, Daan, and Baz.
Did you pass that on?
Uh, I have no idea what you're talking about.
Sofie Lommel, she's the manager of a chain of bars owned by the Frankens.
So she was on the payroll until she wasn't.
And Daan Franken twitched every time I mentioned her name.
LUCIENNE: And Gregor Albers carried a notice of her death.
Did they have something to do with that?
♪ ♪ (exhales) Well, I'll take that as a yes.
I need to see your phone, check your recent calls.
(phone case closes) All right.
Bibi Franken rang, said she was waiting for me.
You got any idea where?
How would I know?
Well, you know how she operates.
Where would she wait for me?
Wherever would mess with your head the most.
