Hey, it's... Krystel Horrens.

I wasn't well last night and I'm not...

I'm not really sure what I did or said...

Call me back so we can talk about it.

All right.

Claire?

Stop it...

Stop it.

Stop it!

You've lied to me.

Since the beginning.

Now tell me...

Tell me how long you've been a total piece of shit!

So you just stood there...

doing nothing.

And you watched her.

Tell me. I need to know.

Explain now!

Your thing there,

it's not admissible.

Lots of people breathe like this.

You're imagining things. It's all in your head.

You've got nothing in this.

Nothing.

You're looking for a culprit when there is none.

I won't let you get away.

You hear me?

I won't let you get away.

PANDORA

Television in Belgium

does not intend to condition the public option.

This is Krystel Horrens again. I really want to talk.

I hope you get what I might have said last night

is private.

Are you okay?

Yes, and you?

-We've got a problem. -What?

Damn it, Samuel.

-You scared me. -Well you...

What are you...

What's wrong?

Claire...

I screwed up big time.

What do you mean?

It's over.

I can't do this anymore. I'm tired.

What are you talking about?

You're doing great.

We're having some issues but it's okay.

-It'll pass. -No...

-We'll get through it. -Samuel.

I slept with the man who filmed Ludivine's rape.

Excuse me?

I'm not sure if I understood you correctly.

Van Dyck.

Van Dyck was already in the parking lot.

He's the one who filmed the attack.

-Did he tell you that? -No.

No, of course he didn't.

Listen...

Please explain from the beginning because I'm not sure I understand.

A breath?

She had an anxiety attack at the reconstruction.

I showed her how to catch her breath.

-That's not much to suspect. -I know. But she won't give it up!

-So did she call you in? -No, she caught me on the street.

She wanted me to confess.

Are you telling me everything?

-Don't you start now too. -All right, calm down.

Anyway, a breath will be easy to deny.

What we need to do is make sure Ludivine doesn't turn you in.

It's true that...

it's quite a predicament.

How could I have been so blind?

Listen...

I know judges have to be irreproachable, but...

humans are imperfect.

And behind the robe... I mean...

behind the role,

there is a woman who...

Well...

I mean, you can't blame yourself.

Thank you.

So...

First of all, do you have any evidence?

No.

We'll approach this differently.

We will...

We'll start...

by going over his schedule on the night of the rape,

and we'll...

We'll investigate the reappearance of the phone.

Okay?

-Claire! -Okay.

Tell Van Bocksel I want footage of the cameras at the night shop.

Good!

Fucking arthritis.

That's aging for you.

-Tell him I want to watch it myself. -Of course.

Here to explain what you did in Morocco?

It was an informal meeting, nothing more.

A meeting that irritated the Prince a little.

-You've made that girl's case worse. -You already gave up on her.

The public is not going to like it.

Can you imagine trading a girl for guns?

Threatening me with tweets? What do you want?

I want the release of Rachel Gilson!

The great defender of women.

Find another victim to save and mind your own business.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs bowing to a dictatorship won't do.

And sacrificing a citizen for weapons.

You want to use this against me?

Do it. The whole government knows.

We have two billion in exports...

-And three billion in Saudi imports! -Wrong!

That's last year's figures.

It's changed since then.

The trend is reversing, we're expanding.

The contract we're about to sign with Fabrix,

-it's 15 000 jobs. -They need us as we need them!

-"We"? -Yes!

Give your ideological speech in parliament to win over votes,

but "we", in the government,

have to face the reality of compromise.

Discussions were had. Decisions were made.

Will people love your denunciatory tweet? Do it.

Say you'd rather free a junkie than create 15 000 jobs.

Let me eat in peace!

I want to talk to you.

-What are you doing here? -Are you fucking kidding?

Come.

What happened in Morocco? Why don't you answer anymore?

-Is Rachel still in the north? -Yes, she is.

-Is she in Jubbah or Tabuk? -Tabuk!

That's a very bad sign!

Don't worry. It's part of the extradition request.

What request? The Ministry didn't tell me.

The Ministry is weak.

They are tied up to their economic contract.

My meeting in Morocco is making things move.

-We're avoiding a trial there. -What are they waiting for?

The Saudis are very sensitive. We can't rush them.

But now the dialogue has been restored.

I have to make sure that the government gets on board.

Trust me.

I will call you back.

-I'll keep you posted. -And I'll keep an eye on you.

Good weather is back and the sun will be with us until the weekend

with up to 26 degrees Celsius in the south of the country,

up to 25 in Brussels and 23 at the coast.

An Indian summer we didn't expect and that is going to last.

Next news update on our 2 p.m. show.

Thank you for this news flash.

The FAQ starts now. It's 12:15!

Welcome to our show. Today we have Sasha Hamzaoui.

It's your first time on the show

so I'm going to ask you our usual first question:

what kept you up last night?

What kept me up last night was trying to figure out

why Judge Claire Delval and politician Mark Van Dyck

shared a hotel room last night.

Oh, shit!

If this is true...

We're entitled to ask what happened.

Is it collusion or a relationship? Because if it is a relationship,

we must question the impartiality of Judge Delval in the Andorp case.

I would just remind listeners the Andorp trial began last Tuesday.

It is the result of five years of investigation

on the fraudulent contract allocations

of the sewer renovation in Brussels.

Exactly, and this investigation was led by Judge Delval herself.

Who welcomes into her bed, or at least into her hotel room,

the PLF top candidate, the man replacing her father.

The presumption of innocence is valid,

whether it's for the Andorp case or this meeting

you seem to know about.

Yes, but we have the right to ask.

The fact that these two meet in private

after Mark Van Dyck's astonishing rise raises questions,

and it undermines the trust Belgians are entitled to have

in their country's justice and politics.

After a short commercial,

let's hear from our second guest, Simon Herman.

This is slander!

With the elections coming up, it was to be expected, right?

I'm disruptive, so the opposition does a counterattack!

It may even come from inside the party.

-I don't believe you. -Politics are like that today.

Look at France with Griveaux. They'll do anything to get to me.

Griveaux had cheated on his wife!

Tell me the truth. I want to know what's coming.

Hélène, you are everything to me. You and the kids.

You have to believe me. Hélène...

Leave me alone!

Peter, please call me back.

I'm going home. I hope you're there.

I'll explain.

Explain?

I'm sorry.

I don't understand.

I made a huge mistake.

But it's over.

Did you sleep with this guy?

Yes.

It has nothing to do with you, Peter.

With us...

I made a huge mistake. I'm really sorry.

Save your fucking apology.

Answering machine.

Let him digest.

I'll give him his space.

I'll go sleep at the office or somewhere else.

Sorry, but...

Not to be indiscreet, but... what were you thinking?

I don't know.

But why this guy?

Maybe because it was the worst thing to do.

Do you and Peter still have sex?

It's not that I want to know but...

Do you still want to be with him?

Of course I do.

I was overwhelmed.

I needed to escape.

Even if it meant screwing up everything.

-No. -Come on, it's fine.

Do you feel old?

I don't want to be told it's over.

A cliché, right?

-No. -Yes.

No.

-Does he look like my father? -Who?

You know, Van Dyck.

No, not at all.

You father was...

In fact, yes.

Except that you're not 20 anymore.

You're strong.

Yes, you are.

Don't worry.

The question on everyone's lips:

is Mark Van Dyck's position at the PLF in danger?

A few days to the elections,

the rumor of an affair between Van Dyck and judge Delval

risks upsetting the political scene.

Journalist Sasha Hamzaoui indeed claims to have the proof

of a meeting in a hotel room between the judge and the candidate.

We tried to reach George Michelet, the president of the PLF,

but he refuses to comment for the moment.

Tell me, Serge. I didn't know we work at gossip-radio.

What? What are you saying?

-You could have talked to us. -It was urgent and hot news!

It's my responsibility and I assumed it.

What kind of trashy journalism is this?

Our responsibility is to inform, right?

Oh yeah? And to create a political crisis now?

There's a fine line between a story and its implications.

Van Dyck going down gives the far right a free pass!

So he and the far right are different?

Enough!

I'm responsible for this information.

If you want to talk, it's in my office.

I guess you give good head...

What's your problem anyway?

You've been talking down to me.

Should I roll out the red carpet?

I would prefer that than being called a cocksucker.

-Maybe I'm wrong? -Of course you're wrong!

I was once young and new here too.

Like I'd even have the time to fuck a judge.

You were seen together at the hotel.

I needed a place to work in peace.

Why didn't you tell me?

It's not easy right now, with the kids at home.

Hélène gets on my case every time I'm there.

And the judge?

She called me. She wanted to see me.

-So you told her to come there? -Yes!

I didn't think it through.

That's when she asked me about the video.

I wonder which asshole saw us and deduced it was for sex.

Maybe it was Montoyer's doing?

Think he had me followed?

Anything is possible.

What a bastard!

What is at stake is the party's credibility.

It is the second time the top candidate may fall.

Your opportunity would be to bring down this judge,

who's damaged the party with the Andorp affair.

But your strength and your asset is also this same judge

because she's completely discredited.

One, by the search of her father's house,

and two, by the migrant who was murdered in prison.

Your weakness is the reputation of the party.

You are just recovering from the fall of Delval

and Mark presented himself as the man with nothing to hide.

We're listening, Mark.

Everything said here will remain here.

Whatever you did, we want the truth.

We have to be ready.

Again, nothing inappropriate happened with this woman.

-We just talked. -About?

-Her daddy? -Exactly.

Maybe she couldn't bear the fact she took him down.

She's obsessed with me taking his place.

It doesn't make sense.

Anyway, the important thing now is to get out of this mess, right?

Well, Bill, what do you recommend?

Mark should give the citizens a personal explanation.

A press conference?

Sort of, but in a neutral place.

At your home. And it'd be good to have your wife.

Sounds good.

Bill will help with your script in the morning.

Until then, no comments to the press.

You'd better outdo yourself.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

Yes?

Good work, Inspector Delval.

You got the job.

How are you doing?

-Aren't you going to ask me? -What?

If it's true what they say about Van Dyck?

I don't give a damn.

It won't change what I think of you.

What if I tell you he's the one who filmed the rape?

Then I do give a damn.

Well, that's why we redid the whole place.

-And why you wanted the audiotapes? -Yes.

I found nothing. His assistant confirmed his schedule.

She's covering for him. Krystel Horrens.

-It could be her, right? -Yes.

It could be my cousin too.

Sorry I'm late.

It doesn't ever happen to me. It's not my style.

I had a hard time with Yellowbrick. Of all days, it had to be today.

What's Yellowbrick?

A parking app. You pay the meter with your phone.

-And that's it! -Does it record your number?

Your phone number, parking space, bank card...

Everything. The license plate...

We have no privacy anymore, if I may state the obvious.

Do we have the list of vehicles in the lot on the night of the rape?

-Yes. -Can you get that for me?

-I'm on it. -Thank you.

-Are you all right? -What?

-All right? -Yes, of course.

I'm upset, and I forgot my badge.

The hassle at the entrance...

-I just need a coffee. -I'll get some.

-Are you all right? -Yes. I'll get some.

-What? -Some coffee? For once!

-I can, right? -Yes, for once. All right...

Hello everyone! I will be brief.

I have one thing to say:

I didn't have a relationship with Claire Delval.

However, this woman harassed me.

We met in the context of the Ludivine Gilson rape case.

I was there as a witness.

And after this formal meeting,

this woman started sending me texts.

I made it clear to her I was not interested

but she kept insisting on seeing me despite me having refused.

It was she, on her own initiative,

who sought to see me at the hotel where I had withdrawn to work.

If I finally agreed to talk to her, it was to try to reason with her,

to put an end to her harassment.

And if I haven't spoken a word about this story until now,

it was to protect Mrs. Delval.

Are you considering filing a complaint

against Judge Delval?

Yes, I was harassed, but no, I'm not going to sue her

nor do a #MeToo on her.

Excuse me, Mr. Van Dyck,

your wife is not here today. What's the reason for this absence?

My wife wanted to keep her professional appointments.

This ridiculous story should not affect her or her work.

Right. I thank you for your attention.

I wish you all a good day.

I'm sorry, but we're going to have to stop now...

You have reached the voicemail of Peter...

Your Honor, what the defense proposes is inappropriate.

We cannot take into account a personal story

between secondary actors in this trial.

Secondary actors? Are you kidding?

This judge investigated the case for five years!

And it doesn't concern Mr. Van Dyck!

Mr. Delval is not affected by this case

but by a follow-up investigation.

It's Judge Delval's integrity that is at stake.

It is the second time her investigation's been challenged.

Mark Van Dyck has taken Simon Delval's position.

May this woman have taken advantage of the case to place her lover?

I appeal to your common sense.

This affair has not been proven,

and it seems obvious the defense is ready to spin up a story

to keep us away from what is at the heart of this trial:

a serious offense that must be judged.

Claire.

So?

The judge has asked for 48 hours to rule.

Your integrity is in question.

That's nonsense!

I didn't know Van Dyck at that time.

We met for the first time the night of the rape.

-Easy to prove! -It's too late.

It's becoming too much for the ministry.

How much time do I have?

I don't know... I'm not very optimistic right now.

You have to help me.

I have to close my investigation. René, please.

I need time. You have to trust me.

I'll try.

Thank you.

Mrs. Delval!

Excuse me, any reaction to what Mr. Van Dyck said?

Is it true that you harassed him?

-What? -He's accusing you of harassment.

Any word?

I'm sorry, Claire, but I couldn't not use this.

I have proof my affair with Van Dyck began after I was discharged.

But tell me.

If I confess,

can it make a difference for my father?

It's very likely.

I have an answer to Mr. Van Dyck's accusations.

Unlike him, I have the courage to assume my actions

and my mistakes.

Yes, we did have a relationship. And no, it was not harassment.

We were both consenting.

I am ready to give answers to the court.

How long has this relationship been?

Were you already together during your investigation on Andorp?

Yes.

Shit...

EXPLOITATION NOT ALLOWED

They're not kidding. We have to get out of here!

Did they come today? Did you see them?

Ludi?

What's the matter?

You can't stop yourself from fucking shit up, huh?

-What? -You like that, right?

You want everyone to look and listen to you.

That's what you like.

You take people's lives and you feed them to the others.

-You're insane. -Am I insane?

You have no idea what you're doing.

You don't know what's coming out of your mouth.

You just don't give a fuck, do you?

You don't know what people are going through.

Right. Get out of here!

You'd never have done that if you'd really wanted Rachel back!

Never would you have done that!

Right. Get out, you coward!

Fuck off!

Do your usual thing!

Take responsibility!

For once!

Fucking hell!

Shit.

Hey!

-Hey. -Still working?

Yup.

The judge's statement proved you right. Good job!

Let's celebrate?

To women with balls!

With a clitoris, sorry.

To the men who support them!

How are you holding up?

Well... You know Delval's entire investigation

was called into question?

And?

-Do you have any remorse? -No.

But?

I wanted the truth to be told.

But I didn't realize how bad it could get.

Would you have said nothing?

To withhold information out of ideology?

If so, you should be in politics.

That's if there were any ideology in politics!

What are you doing?

-Isn't that what you want? -No.

-I thought... -Well, you misunderstood.

Okay...

No problem, then.

So?

What does it say?

It's going to work.

What about the judge's speech?

The comments are positive. The majority call her a whore.

As for you, no one seems to be mad at you.

The storm is over?

Believers of the affair think Mark is more manly than before.

Nonbelievers say he's a good guy who's down on his luck,

and we should support him.

-Great! -Okay.

It's good news then.

-You lucky bastard! -It's good news.

That was a close one.

-Still awake? -I was waiting for you.

To tell you that I contacted Le Mag .

They're coming to do a story.

To see how much I support you in this difficult time.

Thank you.

Really.

Come on... Go to sleep.

You'd better be in shape.

And for your information,

you can fool everyone with your harassment story,

but not me.

Okay.

Yellowbrick records from around the night shop.

Thank you.

Claire...

It'll take hours to match these with the party license plates.

It's crazy.

Yes, it's crazy.

But something tells me we'll start with her.

I made it easy for you.

Her license plate.

Samuel?

I'll start with Horrens.

-Match these with the other members? -Okay!

The babysitter will stay longer tonight.

I ran into the presiding judge in the bathroom.

And? Still in a meeting?

It's a hard talk.

You're giving them a tough time, boss.

There are three left.

Claire?

Don't you think that if it was her,

she would have taken a cab,

and paid in cash,

in order not to leave a trace.

That's what I would have done.

Maybe, I don't know.

We always make stupid mistakes.

Look at me.

What came out of this ordeal?

This ordeal has had one thing.

It has brought us closer together and made us even more united.

In these scary times,

where the impact of social networks is beyond us,

it's very important to know we have support we can count on.

So you trust your husband?

I trust him completely, of course!

For what he can do for our family and also our larger family:

for Belgium.

-That's wonderful. -Yes.

Yes, it's wonderful. We are very lucky.

You've never been fazed by his political career?

Not at all. I think it's...

It's a personal fight but I totally support him in it...

Excuse me.

May I?

Do you share his ideas?

Yes, completely.

And I think that's how we do great things.

-Are you partners? -Exactly.

We're a team, yes.

-Thank you. -It was a pleasure.

Thank you.

-Yes. It's me. -So, did you find Horrens plate?

No, nothing.

Anything on the ANPR or the telephone boundary marker?

Nothing. Sorry.

-Okay. -Be strong.

Look here.

-What? -The shoes.

Look.

-It's her. -It's her.

It's her?

-It's her. -Send for that woman.

With pleasure!

René, I got her!

I'm sorry...

-It was out of my hands. -Don't do that.

-Claire... -No!

-No way! You can't do that. -Claire.

René, please!

I have just one more interrogation to do.

You are suspended.

It's over.

It's over.

Shit...
