There has been increased activity and tension

among the police on the perimeter.

A number of vehicles came and went via the service centre's rear entrance

but no explanation was given,

so the police decision not to update us on the hostage...

What are you doing? What's the idea?

We have to get out of here, as fast as possible.

Hey! Now isn't the time to start panicking.

- We still have everything under control. - We still have everything under control?

Just listen to yourself! The light goes out,

the camera connection is lost, the bombs counted down to zero.

Idoubtanyone still believes they're real.

If the cops don't know...

If the cops storm the bank, they'll be here 20 minutes later.

The police aren't in there. We can still hear them. Are they on to us?

I don't give a damn. I want to leave as fast as possible.

I didn't come here to be satisfied with half of the money.

Don't you get it? We don't know what's going on at the bank.

Exactly. If you starting packing up behind my back

and stop listening to the cops, we don't know what's going on.

So sit down and listen, for fuck's sake.

We've talked about it.

Ibrahim and I think it may be best to gel Noor and Freya released first.

- That's rather optimistic. - Yes, I know.

- Some coffee? - Please.

Once they twig, we're out of here.

- Thank you. - That may take a while.

- Hello? - Tell me, pal. What's happening?

Hello, madam. They put me through to you.

I need to talk to the chief financial officer.

Van Landsch0ot's the name. Yes, it's urgent. Thank you.

Mr Geerinckx, Van Landschoot here. You know why I'm calling you?

Yes, but I don't care what your lawyers think.

That money is from my account.

If the bank agrees to give me 160,000 euros in cash

and sends someone here to deliver it,

then I expect that to be honoured.

And I don't expect the person standing here with my money

to tell me the CFO has decided he's not allowed to give it to me!

Mr Geerinckx, this is Claudine Van Landschoot.

Can you tell me how much money is in my husbands business accounts?

Approximately is fine.

Thank you.

Right, next week my husband will move all of Mahltex's accounts

to another bank.

Then your bank will be 15 million poorer. Is that clear?

Thank you.

Here you are.

Mr Geerinckx?

Yes. Okay.

- Here you are. - Thank you.

THE DAY

- Susan. Hi. - Inge.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

Are you all right?

I don't want to sit here till those men...

Those men won't hurt us. You know that.

One of them said he would put a bullet in my head.

When we came here, to Belgium,

my dad said

I would never be frightened again.

Close your eyes.

Where are you?

In a factory or somewhere.

No, no, not here. Not where you really are.

Where are you in your head?

Where do you want to be?

Where at home?

What can you see?

They're coming in fine now.

It's going quickly now.

If it carries on like this, we'll be gone in a couple of hours.

What are the cops saying?

They're trying to guess exactly where we are in the bank.

They think we're upstairs.

That's good. Here, look at him, calmly eating an apple.

Right.

Has the rest of the plan been put back too?

Why would it be put back?

I don't know. We've been seriously delayed.

Shouldn't we split the money later?

I don't see why.

Tomorrow morning at 5.

- But I still have to go to France and back. - You have plenty of time.

You haven't changed your mind?

- What about? - About what you'll do after this.

Come on, it's a big decision.

Leaving your friends and family behind.

You've just mentioned two things I don't have.

What about you? Going to pay off your debts?

Yes.

Yes, that's me.

Yes, I know. Let's hope those guys are just doing it for the ransom.

We'll try to arrange it as quickly as possible

so the hostages are released as quickly as possible.

That flash drive is your responsibility.

Not mine. Goodbye.

- Can you brief Matti? - Okay.

I'll keep everyone in position and see what lvo says.

There's nothing we can do anyway.

There was someone on the scaffolding.

A Romanian, a young guy.

A good guy. Now he's in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

Shit.

And I have to pay for it. All medical costs and material damage...

Due to negligence. The insurance doesn't cover that.

But you said it had to be drained first.

Yes, but I haven't got anything in black and white and they have.

The subcontractor is responsible for stability of the site

when work commences.

There you have it. In black and white, in a contract with my signature.

Yeah.

That sentence is costing me half a million.

The perimeter is still being maintained,

so it would appear the hostage situation at the bank is stilt deadlocked.

Now for other news.

The bomb squad, which has been on the scene since this morning,

has received an additional task.

In a field a few kilometres away,

unexploded ordnance has been found for the second time in five years.

An observant walker found two grenades from the First World War

and informed the emergency services.

In a press release, the bomb squad...

Someone is trying to get hold of you.

- Someone is trying to get hold of you. - Yes. it's... my in-laws.

- Sorry. - It's okay...

Maybe you should just answer it and get it over with?

Hi. No, not really, given the circumstances.

What do you want'?

Hold on a moment.

The situation here hasn't really changed. No.

No, we're following the news

and the police are trying to keep us posted, but...

- Yes, the bank is still surrounded. - Mrs Blomme, can you come with me?

- I certainly will. Yes, I certainly... - Susan?

Sorry.

- Would you like a roll? A roll? - No.

Or rather, yes.

We've just called Susan. She's back at the service centre.

- Did it work with the hose? - Yes.

So you've earned your 1O per cent.

20.

Ten per cent for Susan because she did the hose.

And 10 per cent for me because I thought up the plan.

I think Elias meant 10 per cent for the both of you.

Yes, I know. But I want 20.

That's fairer.

If the bank can spare 160,000 euros, it can also spare a million.

They made more than 200 million euros' profit last year.

The helicopter is ready, so is the money. 160,000 euros isn't to be sniffed at.

Didn't you hear me? It's a million or nothing.

I'll tell you what. Every time you fuck me about, the price goes up.

It's 1.5 million now.

You've got an hour and a half. Or the people here will die.

Hey, sir, I'm happy to find a solution with you

but it's difficult if you keep threatening to blow up those two people.

Two people? Why did you say two peQple?

They know.

Fuck, what's that?

- Is that for us? - Do you want to wait and see?

I told you, pal. I fucking told you!

Get on with it! Go and tie up Serge.

- What was that explosion? - I don't know. Come on, turn around.

We have to go. The place is crawling with police.

- What? - In that field along the road.

I don't know if they know where we are, but they're nearby.

- You won't tell the police anything? - I don't have much choice.

- Have you talked to him yet? - I will later.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

- Hey, tape my mouth. - Right.

Serge?

50"'!-

Help!

Damn it, now what?

Help!

- He's collapsed. - What? How come?

- Do you know how to do heart massage? - No.

- I do. - Fucking hell!

His hands have to be above his head for his circulation.

Noor, run!

Hey! Open this door.

- What the fuck? - She's escaped!

There.

Stop!

Stay there!

Stop!

- Stay there! - Hey!

I've got some news for you.

Mixed news. Not bad news. We stormed the bank.

No one was killed. We were able to free two people, Freya and Michael.

And the rest?

Walter, Serge and Noor are nowhere to be found.

- Nor are the hostage-takers. - What?

- Nowhere to be found? - They're no longer in the bank.

They probably weren't there for long.

They were gone by the time the first officer arrived.

This morning?

They made everyone believe they were there all day.

- But where are they, then? - We don't know.

But we'll find them. We are putting all available resources into it,

you can rest assured.

If you'll excuse me...

If you stay here, we can keep you better informed.

Informed about what? You don't know anything.

Fuck. Where is she?

I didn't hit her, okay?

I didn't hit her.

He wants 20 per cent. 10 for him and 10 for Susan.

Can you come with me?

Are you all right?

- Sorry, I really didn't mean to... - No...

It wasn't easy for anyone.

- Have you got everything? - Yes.

Do you want anything?

If there are any more developments, we will keep you posted. Thank you.

Thank you.

That was the very surprising press statement from the police.

Yes, I saw it too. I'm watching here.

No, fine. He woke up because he was thirsty

but he's asleep again now.

Someone is at the door. I'll call you back later, okay?

Yes.

What do you want to do?

Would you like a drink? Some tea? Or something else?

Tea is fine.

What actually happened?

- I'm not allowed to say anything. - Who says so?

The police.

Surely you can tell your family? Surely you can tell us?

They told me I couldn't.

When can you tell us, then?

Rolf...

They didn't say.

Freya...

if I ever find out you're somehow involved in this...

- What did you say? - What?

What's the matter?

- What did you say to her? - The same thing I said to you earlier.

Did you have to? Hasn't she been through enough?

What about us? Haven't we?

It's not us against her. It's the three of us together, Rolf!

Freya is part of our family.

You're not going to destroy another child of mine.

- Daddy! - Hello, champ.

- Are the TV people still here? - Yes, upstairs.

Upstairs. Okay.

Kathleen?

Sir, Kristien Delaruelle, News2.

- Can we have a chat? - Sure.

One minute.

Okay.

- Yes? - I don't want this.

- What? - The appeal. The whole circus.

- Why not? They want to help us. - They don't want to help.

- If we can get Noor back... - Noor is my daughter.

Your daughter?

I didn't mean it like that.

At least let me explain why I think it's a good idea. Okay?

Okay, the camera is rolling. Start as soon as you are able.

We would like to ask the people holding Noor hostage

to...

What's going on?

Jesus, look at the state of you.

- Can you free me? - Can you explain something first?

Who else knew about that safe?

Nils is dead. So they didn't hear it from him.

Andrea, Rolf and I have little reason to steal from ourselves. But you...

- Walter, honestly... - What?

You knew about that money. You know the bank.

You know how many cameras there are and which doors can be locked.

You were kept here by yourself and they didn't touch you, but me...

You brought it on yourself.

I stayed calm. You should have as well.

Yes, I knew about that money.

But I thought that safe had been empty for years.

I've got nothing to do with this, nothing!

Give me that ticket.

Don't lose it.

And don't forget to pay with your card later.

What are you doing?

What are you doing? You can't do that. Get out of there.

- That girl managed it. - She's a kid, you're not. Get out.

We'll wait until they get here.

- Who? - The police.

Serge, if the cops have been in the bank, they'll put two and two together.

- I've no desire to go to prison. - What are you going to do?

Try to go abroad with Andrea.

I advise you not to say anything to the cops about me and that money.

- For your own sake. - What? For my own sake?

Then I'll keep quiet about you.

Oh, yes. Say hi to your brother. You sound alike.

Serge!

Serge!

Turn it Off!

Serge, Serge!

Serge...

Walter?

Walter?

Walter?
