Hey.

Hi. How are you?

Who is this?

Where?

OK.

You know, you are wasted on him.

And you're just wasted, Herman.

(GLASSES CLINK)
Yes.
And you're just wasted, Herman.

(GLASSES CLINK)
Yes.

Yes.
Well, I used to, um...

I'll be back in a minute, babe.

Hello?

Still not answering.
You sure about this?

It's on our way.
We have to do something.

It's on our way.
No-one's answering.

(CLEARS THROAT)

PIET: (SIGHS) Great.

Uh, sorry.
We...we tried Lucienne, but...

Uh, sorry.
Yep. I got it.

Yep. I got it.

Let's go.

CITRA: Try Hendrik.

(PHONE RINGS NEARBY)
(GROANS)

(MUTTERS) Of course I'm a traveller.

Like I said, there's two of us
on this horse.

(SIGHS)

(SIGHS)

Mate.

Quiet night, all in all.

(COUGHS)

Oh! Wah! Ahh!

Oh!

(SIGHS)

Hey! (KNOCKS)

Duty calls.
Hey! (KNOCKS)

Duty calls.
Whoa.

OK. Just give me a sec.
Alright.

OK. Just give me a sec.
You might want to wake your mate.

You might want to wake your mate.

Sorry. I can't remember her name.

No, nor can I.

How much did we have?
(SNIFFS) A lot.

How much did we have?
Mm-hm.

Mm-hm.

You alright?
Always.

(PHONE BUZZES)

LUCIENNE: Do you want to take that?

Nope.

(PHONE BUZZES)

PIET: You don't want to take that?

Nope. Not just now.

(SIGHS)

(CAMERA CLICKS)

Oh...

(CAMERA CLICKS)

Victim is Ric van der Molden.
Uh, 31.

Body discovered by his girlfriend,
Zoe Waterman.

OK. There was a party, right?

Go upstairs. Talk to the guests.
OK. There was a party, right?

Go upstairs. Talk to the guests.
See if anyone knows anything.

Go upstairs. Talk to the guests.
Right. Cause of death?

Right. Cause of death?

Extensive alcohol consumption

following a night out with you two.

Nah.

Hey.

Interesting woman,
your friend, Astrid.

PIET: Astrid.
HENDRIK: Yeah.

PIET: Astrid.
Hand model, apparently. Fascinating.

Hand model, apparently. Fascinating.

Fascinating.

And this body here, please?

Well, technically, stabbing,

though that doesn't quite
do this one justice.

Bruising on the entrance wound
suggests

intense thrusting action
right up to the hilt.

intense thrusting action
Ask me about the depth of the wound.

Ask me about the depth of the wound.

How deep was the wound, Hendrik?

Well, funny you should ask.
How deep was the wound, Hendrik?

Well, funny you should ask.
Hard to be exact.

Depends on how far it came out
the other side.

(LAUGHS) Went through him
like a knife through butter.

(LAUGHS) Went through him
PIET: Is that a technical term?

PIET: Is that a technical term?

I don't suppose
there's a murder weapon, is there?

Oh, apart from the gaping wound, no.

But I'd hazard a guess -
a stab, if you like -

it was withdrawn
immediately after impact.

It being...?
Well, Christ knows.

I'll tell you what it wasn't.

It wasn't a penknife or a street
blade or even a carving knife.

Sword?

Now you're talking my language.
That is always a bad sign.

Time of death?
Now, that, I CAN help you with.

(SIGHS)

Between 5:30am and 5:42am.

Good. Impressive. Very, uh, specific.

HENDRIK: Well, on the one hand,

pathology is an exact
and specific science.

And on the other?
Eddie told me.

According to various guests,

5:30 is when the victim was seen
According to various guests,

5:30 is when the victim was seen
going outside to make a phone call.

5:42 is when his girlfriend
found him down here.

They could, of course,
all be lying through their teeth,

but it is consistent
with the body temperature,

the developing rigor mortis
and hypostasis.

LUCIENNE: Right. We'll see what his
partner has to say, then, shall we?

Ric took a call,

said it wouldn't be a minute.

Did he say who the call was from?

Nope.

Was there any trouble at the party?

I mean, anyone acting strange?
Was there any trouble at the party?

I mean, anyone acting strange?
ZOE: No.

I mean, anyone acting strange?
Nothing.

Nothing.

He...

..when he didn't come back,
I went looking for him.

He was just lying there.

We'll need to notify next of kin.

Are his family local?

Uh, Rotterdam.

I can give you details.

Whose apartment is it?
ZOE: Mine.

We were celebrating
Ric's latest exhibition launch.

We were celebrating
He's a...

He's a...

..curator at the culture museum.

We both work there.

His exhibition just opened.

Exhibition?

Colonialism and Restitution.

EDDIE:
Did you see anything suspicious?

Well, the alcohol was running out,
if that's what you mean.

(LAUGHS)
It wasn't.

Well, it bloody was.
I mean, I started necking empties.

Yeah, I mean it wasn't really
the information I was looking for.

Yeah, I mean it wasn't really
Uh...

Uh...

Alright.

Like I said, as soon as
Ric van der Molden took his call,

I chatted with his girlfriend.

And then what?

I mingled, you know?

I'm a social butterfly.

I like to...flit.

With anyone in particular?
Nope.

So, no-one can vouch
for your exact whereabouts?

So, no-one can vouch
No.

No.

Unless they were stalking me.

That would be fun, wouldn't it?

Can I see the body?

I just...I want to pay my respects.

How did he die? Strangled?

No? Gunshot?

Was it sudden?

You do know these are
really odd questions, right?

You do know these are
No, not really. No.

No, not really. No.

I mean, death is fascinating,
don't you think?

It's the greatest leveller
of them all.

So, how do you know
Mr Van der Molden?

So, how do you know
We're both in the museum game.

Oh...
..come on by.

Your loss.

CITRA: We're taking names and info,
but nothing concrete so far.

The basement isn't accessible
from the outside,

so it must have been
someone from the party.

But, then,
what about the phone call?

Unless it was someone

from a different apartment
in the same building.

from a different apartment
Great.

Great.

Phone call implies whoever killed him
Great.

Phone call implies whoever killed him
probably wasn't at the party.

Get Tech on it. See if we can
find out who made that call.

Talk to them all again. Check the
cameras on the street and entrance.

Let's go to the museum.
Alright.

And Zoe, how is she?
As you'd expect.

And Zoe, how is she?
Upset.

Upset.

It's just...just so...

Ric had such a brilliant mind.

He...

We gather there was a launch.

Our latest exhibition.

Ric's.

Interesting exhibition.

Timely.

I couldn't agree more.

Thankfully, the government
has decided to step in

and return objects
that this country commandeered

in our colonial past.

Yeah. Theft, some might say.

Not one to mince words, then?

Not his strong point, no.

And are all of these items
going back?

Uh, no, not all of them.

(SIGHS) In consultation, we're
trying to strike a balance between

returning and maintaining them
for our educational program.

returning and maintaining them
Is anyone opposed to their return?

Is anyone opposed to their return?

Yes.

Ric.

Colonial history was his area.

So, when the board decided on this
Colonial history was his area.

So, when the board decided on this
exhibition, it was his to curate.

He was...less than happy

about seeing the collection
being broken up.

Because he didn't agree
with restitution?

The way he saw it,

if museums start giving things back
that were taken centuries ago,

if museums start giving things back
they'll be empty.

they'll be empty.

Well, that's not really
the point, is it?

Well, that's not really
I don't think so.

I don't think so.

And nor does the museum.

But Ric wasn't one
for correcting the sins of the past.

But Ric wasn't one
And Miss Waterman?

And Miss Waterman?

Totally different.

They hadn't been together long.

And, to be honest,
I didn't get them.

Opposites attract, they say.

So, did Ric make
a lot of enemies, then?

So, did Ric make
Not enemies.

Not enemies.

Amsterdam is built on
accepting alternate views, right?

Yep.

Sometimes.

The name reads "E. van der Molden".

Not 'R'. Why is that?

Ric's full name is Eric.

But everyone knew him as Ric.

OK. That was Tech.

Victim's last phone call
made from an unregistered phone,

but they've traced the number
to the NEMO.

That's round the corner.

So, what are we waiting for?
You.

What's your problem with his name?
Ric, instead of Eric.

of the exhibition, then.

Alright. Check 'em out.

(BIRDS CRY)

Triangulation of telephone masts

would indicate the phone was left
somewhere around here.

Citra?
Yeah.

Citra?
Think I've got something.

Think I've got something.

Yeah. We found the phone.

OK.

Yeah. We're coming now.

PIET: Ric van der Molden.

Not particularly well-liked.

Opposed the repatriation
of cultural artefacts.

Yeah, which the RAA lobby for.

Restorative justice.

CITRA:
Restorative justice.

CITRA:
Which is a right, not a choice.

LUCIENNE:
Points out it's not just us.

LUCIENNE:
Mentions the Elgin Marbles...

Mentions the Elgin Marbles...

(PHONE BUZZES)
..the Benin Bronzes.

CITRA: Cultural objects belong to
the culture that created them,

CITRA: Cultural objects belong to
not you.

not you.

There's an address.
We'll check it out.

LUCIENNE: You OK? What is it?

It's...Van der Molden's
family address.

It's...Van der Molden's
It's Rotterdam.

It's Rotterdam.

He's the same Eric van der Molden
I met 19 years ago.

He's the same Eric van der Molden
LUCIENNE: And what was the case?

LUCIENNE: And what was the case?

Jasmijn Brahm.

You worked on that?

Yep.
You worked on that?

Yep.
EDDIE: What case?

Before your time, I guess.
Yeah. Before mine too.

But I remember reading about it.

Uh, Jasmijn Brahm.

Teenager.
She was 16.

LUCIENNE: Killed her
two younger brothers in cold blood,

Carl and Jonas, 10 and 12.

Set fire to the house
Carl and Jonas, 10 and 12.

Set fire to the house
with them in it.

While she stood there and watched,
as the fire took them.

General consensus being
because she was the devil incarnate.

The newspapers went crazy. She was
public enemy number one, alright.

So, who was Eric?

He was the kid next door.

The brothers were his best friends.

Um, he saw her do it.

His statement was a crucial part
of putting her away.

I'm assuming they locked HER up
and threw away the key?

No, she was put on various programs,
different institutions.

She was released seven years ago.

She got a new name,

new life.

New suspect.

(CHILD CRIES)

Mama!

Hey, Jan? It's Piet.

JAN: Piet? Van der Valk?

Yes, mate. The very same.

I know.
Yes, mate. The very same.

I know.
It's been a long time, hasn't it?

JAN: Too long.
Look.

I was just wondering, uh,
can we meet up for a coffee?

I was just wondering, uh,
JAN: Sure. Any time, mate.

JAN: Sure. Any time, mate.

OK.

JAN: Yep. Yep.
I might even pay for it.

JAN: Yep. Yep.
Alright. I'll look forward to it.

Alright. I'll look forward to it.

Yep.

Yep.

(DOG GROWLS)

PIET: Yeah. Good girl.

Good girl. How you doing?

Alright?

You look beautiful.

(SIGHS)

All good?
JULIA: Yeah.

I was until you came in
behaving weirdly. What do you want?

Oh, just to fill you in on a murder
that happened this morning.

Piet, you never want to fill me in
on any murder that happens,

not this morning, any other morning,
afternoon or evening.

So, what's so different
about this one?

Connection.

To Jasmijn Brahm.

The victim's
the kid who lived next door,

Eric van der Molden.
(JULIA SIGHS)

Who gave evidence against her.

Coincidence?
Don't know.

I need to know where she is.

Released under a new identity,
last I heard.

Released under a new identity,
Correct.

Correct.

But I need to know who as,
and I need to speak to her.

You don't ask much, do you?

Well, needs must and all that.

I mean,
if she's got a watertight alibi,

she's got nothing to worry about,
has she?

(SIGHS) This isn't gonna
go down well with her handlers,

(SIGHS) This isn't gonna
let alone her legal team.

let alone her legal team.

I've got every confidence in you.

They'll argue it into the ground,
but leave it with me.

They'll argue it into the ground,
PIET: Oh, and, uh...

PIET: Oh, and, uh...

..I thought I might meet up with Jan.

If that's OK with you.

(SIGHS) Would it make any difference
if I said no?

No.

There you go, then.

EDDIE:
You seem pretty up on restitution.

EDDIE:
You think?

You think?

Is it 'cause
it's close to your heart?

Maybe. Maybe not.

What do you mean?

Because I'm Indonesian,
I have to have a take on it?

EDDIE:
No, no, I'm not...not saying that.

I mean, it's...
it's a hot issue, right?

Maybe you just...
(INTERCOM RINGS)

Maybe you just...
..read a couple articles on it.

..read a couple articles on it.

Yeah.

(DOOR OPENS)

Hello?
EDDIE: We're looking for the RAA.

For the Restitution
of Ancient Artefacts.

You've found her.

Is the RAA just you?

Do you just police?

EDDIE: Hm.

Like a bit of spray painting, do we?

You do know defacing public property
is an offence?

CITRA: It is fair to assume
you're the person

that graffitied and leafleted
outside the culture museum?

that graffitied and leafleted
Guilty as charged.

Guilty as charged.

Please arrest and charge me, as it
will be so good for my profile.

EDDIE: That depends on the charge.

Ric van der Molden.
You familiar with him?

The scuzzball with
his fake exhibition? Yeah.

What's your problem
with the exhibition?

It's a sham.

They're not really
giving anything back, you know?

And behind the scenes, Van der
Molden is resisting the whole thing.

On what grounds?
Anything he can think of.

That...that museums in Indonesia
aren't big enough to show them,

that the temperature there isn't
right and they will be damaged,

that their educational value
would be better served here.

How far would you go
to fight for your cause?

How far would you go

You've aged well.

I think the ice-cream helps.

Gives the illusion of youth.

You should try it.
You saying I look old?

Oh, there's a...
little bit more grey in the beard.

Yeah.
I can't seem to slow that down.

She started a new life
Reformed character, by all accounts.

Reformed character, by all accounts.

Why?

You remember the kid next door?

Eric van der Molden?

He's been killed.

You're going back nearly 20 years.

You seriously think
she might be responsible?

I mean, his testimony was part of
the reason she was convicted.

That and her confession,

and the fact that she was drunk

and was heard earlier in the day

telling her siblings
she wanted to kill them.

She used her time behind bars
wisely,

did an MA degree in theology,

then another in psychology,
then a PhD, which was published.

then another in psychology,
Guess what it was about?

Guess what it was about?

The treatment of juvenile offenders.

Takes one to know one, I guess.

You clearly followed her case.

JAN: I couldn't...

That case.

I couldn't ever...
I couldn't ever shake it off.

I couldn't.

Oh, you know.

I can still smell her brothers'
burnt bodies, even now.

It's with me even now.

You?

Yeah, um...

..I don't think you ever forget it.

JAN: I remember that.

I remember her lack of remorse.

You still think she was innocent?

(SIGHS) I don't know.

You still think she's evil?

You can have
all the degrees in the world.

You'd need Julia for that one.

How is she?

Yeah, she's...she's good.

She's got a dog.

She said to say hello.

You never could lie, Piet.

Never.

What about you?
Yeah.

That's my brood over there.

Eddie and Citra got anything?
Yeah.

Johanna Kolen,
the youth that runs the RAA,

admits to the graffiti
and loathed Ric van der Molden.

They bringing her in?
Keeping an eye.

Her alibi checks out.

She was on her phone at the time of
the murder. Nowhere near the scene.

Could have had an accomplice.
That's true.

We're not gonna rule her out.

Greetings, live people.

Greetings. What have you got?

Autopsy and analysis threw
some clarity on the murder weapon.

Judging from the splinters left
in the wound, hilt made of wood.

Blade?
HENDRIK: Silver.

Blade?
And very, very sharp.

And very, very sharp.

Not for shaving, that's for sure.

The sort of thing usually found

in a museum, perhaps.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

PIET: Sorry to interrupt.

Didn't expect you
to be in work today.

Didn't expect you
Nor did I.

Nor did I.

And she shouldn't be.

I'll take her home
as soon as she'll let me.

I'll take her home
I'm fine. I just need to keep busy.

I'm fine. I just need to keep busy.

And my flat's the crime scene.
Right?

Know who did it yet?

Name Johanna Kolen
mean anything to you?

Name Johanna Kolen
Sure.

Sure.

She's clearly not a fan
of the exhibition.

Did she know Ric?
Yes, they...had spoken.

Did she know Ric?
Well, argued.

Well, argued.

I tried to make Ric see things
from her point of view.

Why? Did she do this?

That's what
Why? Did she do this?

That's what
we're trying to find out.

That's what
Johanna means well, and...

Johanna means well, and...

..the museum
understands her cause, but...

PIET: Mm, whereas
your boyfriend didn't.

Would Miss Kolen
have had his phone number?

Would Miss Kolen
ZOE: Yes, she had.

ZOE: Yes, she had.

Are there any swords

Because?

It's privately owned by
a local collector, Max Langenburg.

Actually, he's, um, on the board
of directors of the museum, but...

..he declined to lend it.

OK.

We'll, uh...we'll need his address.

If he's on the board of directors,

why wouldn't he lend it
If he's on the board of directors,

why wouldn't he lend it
to the museum?

why wouldn't he lend it
Because it's his prize possession.

Because it's his prize possession.

It's from Indonesia. Its status
and provenance are unique.

Which is, of course...
(PHONE BUZZES)

..why Ric wanted it, but...

(BIRDS CALL)
(VEHICLE APPROACHES)

How we gonna play this?
Carefully.

Jasmijn Brahm's handler's agreed
to meet, but there are conditions.

Yeah, well, I'm gonna be
on my bestest behaviour.

Really?

Seen Jan?
I did.

Was he well?

Oh, we didn't really get that far.
We just talked about the case.

Oh, we didn't really get that far.
He said to say hello.

He said to say hello.

Liar.

Miss Zuiderduin.

Nice to meet you, Chief Commissaris.

And Commissaris Van der Valk.
Hey.

We're so grateful
you agreed to meet.

It's not ideal.

So, confidentiality is paramount.

PIET: No, justice is paramount.

We can save ourselves a lot of time
if you just tell us

where Jasmijn Brahm
currently resides.

Here.

In Amsterdam.

So, what is Jasmijn Brahm
doing in Amsterdam?

Getting on with
the rest of her life.

Getting on with
As is her freedom to do so.

As is her freedom to do so.

Unlike her brothers.

Well, you say it as it is,
Commissaris. Don't hold back.

How long's she been here?
ZUIDERDUIN: A few months.

Well, you know,

I'm not at liberty to say
where in Amsterdam she is, right?

Well, I appreciate that, but I'm
sure you don't need us to remind you

this is a murder inquiry.

The victim was Eric van der Molden.
Do you know him?

It's part of my job to know
what happened all those years ago.

I know the case inside out,
so, yeah.

I know him.
So, you know why it's relevant?

I mean, we have a list of suspects,
one of which is Jasmijn Brahm.

I mean, we have a list of suspects,
There is no way

..I know her.

I know her movements.
What, five o'clock in the morning?

I know what she did back then,
and I know how she is now,

and where she's at.

It's my job to know
and to protect her, so I'm...

..I'm sorry if I'm not comfortable
sharing information.

And it's my job to find out
who murdered Eric van der Molden,

so, I'm sorry, I don't care
whether you're comfortable or not.

Piet!
Well...listen.

I'll find out what I need to know,
OK, one way or another.

I mean, someone on the force
will know her.

They'll know who she is,
where she is.

They'll know who she is,
They always do.

They always do.

There was a Van der Valk
on the original case, wasn't there?

Does it matter?

It does if it affects
your objectivity.

JULIA: Uh, that's for me to decide.

Not you.

ZUIDERDUIN: Lauren Teuling.

Her name is Lauren Teuling.

She lives with her husband
Her name is Lauren Teuling.

She lives with her husband
and two small children.

Happy families.

I take it he knows?

She's...she's a different person.
She's moved on.

She's a writer now, a journalist.

PIET: That's ironic.

Given how the press treated her.

She's not living in the past.

Are you?

No.

We need to talk to her,
as soon as possible.

No.

I need to speak to her,

And I can't guarantee anything,

Of course.

No offence, but my question

Oh. Nice house.

PIET: Hey.

Commissaris Van der Valk.
This is Inspector Hassell.

Hendrik here is our pathologist.

Pleasure to meet you.

What's a pathologist doing here?
Has someone died?

Yeah. Ric van der Molden.
MAX: I heard about that.

But that wasn't here. And I'm not
sure what this has to do with me.

We just need to ask you
a few questions.

Here you go.
Let me get the door for you.

Very nice.

Quite a few bits and bobs.

Hendrik.

Do you mind if he takes a look?

As long as he's careful.

Oh!

You'll never know he's so much as

You'll never know he's so much as

You've been talking
to MY exes again?

You've been talking
LUCIENNE: Is the sword valuable?

LUCIENNE: Is the sword valuable?

Not so much in monetary terms,

because there's only a small group
in the world who are interested,

but to that small group, yes,
it's priceless.

but to that small group, yes,
Because?

Because?

MAX:
It belonged to Nyi Ageng Serang,

a female freedom fighter
and guerilla leader,

a legendary figure
among the Indonesian community.

I like her already.
PIET: So do I.

When are we talking?
1750s to 1830s.

Her sword passed down
through the generations.

But no longer in the community
where it belongs.

But no longer in the community
That can't be popular.

That can't be popular.

How did it make it
onto the open market

if it was so meaningful
to the community?

MAX: Where there's a will,
there's a way.

MAX: Where there's a will,
And, of course, money talks.

And, of course, money talks.

Oh. Of course it does.

about the repatriation issue.

MAX: Not top of my list.

I'm a collector. It's in the genes.

Look, I'm sorry.

Why all these questions?
What's all this got to do with Ric?

Because he was killed with a sword
very much like this one.

Well, I assure you,
that sword hasn't left this house

Well, I assure you,
since I bought it.

since I bought it.

Could it have been taken by anyone
without your knowing?

Impossible. I have security.

OK. We'll need to check.

Are there any other swords like that
in circulation?

Are there any other swords like that
MAX: None that belonged to her.

MAX: None that belonged to her.

That's why it's unique.

Why didn't you lend it to the museum

I didn't buy it to share it.

about that?

How did Mr Van der Molden feel
MAX: Frustrated, angry.

MAX: Frustrated, angry.

How'd that make you feel?

Equally frustrated and angry.

But not enough to kill him.

Is that right?

Well, there's definitely
traces of blood on this sword.

MAX: Of course there is!

She was a fierce warrior.
She killed many soldiers.

Well, I'll have to check
with the lab, and I'm no expert...

Well, I'll have to check
(LAUGHS) Actually, I am.

(LAUGHS) Actually, I am.

..but my hunch is saying

that blood is barely a day old,

let alone 250 years.

Well...

If confirmed,
that kind of changes things.

Don't you think?

Welcome to the dark world of crime.

As if the world needed this.

Oh, I don't know.

The total opposite.

No, Ric came to ME.

Ric sought ME out.

I mean...Ric loved it here.

Really? Why?

Because he was fascinated with evil.

why we have to agree to anything.

We're meant to be anonymous.
You are meant to protect us.

That's the whole point.

I can say no.

I know you didn't have to.

You want to talk to me about Eric?

It was intercepted.

You, um...

You wanted to meet. Now you've met.

So, can she go?

How would we make contact
moving forward?

Why would you need to?
JASMIJN: It's fine. I don't mind.

Why would you need to?
I'm happy to help.

Alright. Through me.

the Jasmijn Brahm case as well?

Did you work on

It was a pretty important case

No-one could square
why she did what she did,

killed her siblings in cold blood.

Hey.
PIET: OK.

Records confirm 16-year-old
Jasmijn Brahm drank a lot.

She had blackouts
and a history of abuse.

She had blackouts
Don't we all?

LUCIENNE:
Well, according to Eric, Ric,

she got angry because her brothers
smashed her bird's egg collection.

Bit of an overreaction, right?
LUCIENNE: I don't know.

It says here the neighbours
heard her threatening them,

went and got drunk
before dousing the house in petrol.

CLIFF:
Yeah, and there was something about

her using the brothers'
favourite toy to start the fire.

After that, she locked them in.

Oh, Ric also claimed
that she was laughing

passed it on to van der Molden.

PIET: Whatever.

..she agreed to meet him.

Can you just imagine
what it's like for her?

Can you just imagine
She didn't know what she was doing.

She didn't know what she was doing.

She broke the terms of her release.
She didn't know what she was doing.

She broke the terms of her release.
I mean, that's deceitful.

She broke the terms of her release.
Did you report her?

Did you report her?

Of course I did.
And she's...she won't do it again.

JULIA: Yeah, well, try and
look at it from our point of view.

We have two dead bodies,

both known to Jasmijn...Lauren,

and both linked to her case.

Both made contact with her.

I mean, how do we even know
that she's rehabilitated?

Because I know Lauren.

I'm not even sure she was guilty.

In fact, I think she was innocent.

JULIA: Innocent?
Yeah.

OK, so, the testimony of
the 12-year-old boy could be flawed,

but there were forensics
AND a confession.

And more to the point, if she
was guilty and isn't rehabilitated,

she might kill again.
She won't.

And if she's innocent, did time
for a crime she didn't commit,

I don't know,
she might have revenge on her mind.

I don't know,
She's not a killer.

She's not a killer.

Tell us about the husband, then.
JULIA: Oh.

No.
PIET: Come on. Give us something.

No.
No. 'Cause I don't have to.

No. 'Cause I don't have to.

And that's not why I'm here.

I am here

to tell you that if you
I am here

to tell you that if you
approach either of them again

to tell you that if you
without my permission

without my permission

or without me being there...

Wonder how he was able

Well, maybe he hasn't.

Thanks.

It's the apartment owner.

Person staying

but for one night only, gone now,
name of Kroesen.

Right. Got the keys?
Nope.

But we've got a code to get in.

Let's do it.
Mm-hm.

Is it worth getting Forensics
to do a sweep?

When we checked out the CCTV
of people leaving,

not just at the time of the murder,
all day,

we saw the partygoers leave,
we saw the other couple leave,

but we didn't see anyone else.

Yeah.

Whereas this apartment has access

Sorry to ruin the mood,

So, you two are close, then?

Is there a problem with that?
Not at all. Unless it's relevant.

Is there a problem with that?
PIET: Did Ric know?

PIET: Did Ric know?

No!

No. It's a recent thing.

Things haven't been...

..weren't great between me and Ric.

I was going to tell him.

No need now.

His death has seen to that.

The apartment next door,
I don't suppose

you saw who was staying there
yesterday?

No.

What about Jasmijn Brahm?

Do you know her?
ZOE: Of her.

Do you know her?
I'm familiar with the case.

I'm familiar with the case.

Ric mentioned it.

Did he mention he'd seen her?

Oh, from the look on your face,
he didn't.

Oh, from the look on your face,
Yeah, Ric's friend, Herman Zaal,

Yeah, Ric's friend, Herman Zaal,

tracked her down.

Ric was deeply disturbed.

He was...

..dark.

He had blind spots.
PIET: Such as?

ZOE: There were nightmares.

And anything connected with...

..emotion.

Couldn't really feel for people.

That's why he had no time
for the repatriation.

That's why he had no time
"What's done is done," he would say.

"What's done is done," he would say.

"What's done is done."

Do you think that applied
to Jasmijn Brahm?

Do you think that applied
I don't know.

I don't know.

He couldn't get her out of his head.

He...

..he just couldn't let it go.

Did he ever tell you -

I mean, first-hand -

what he saw?

We didn't talk about it.

LUCIENNE: Did he blame Jasmijn?

Was he angry with her?

He...

..tried to understand her.

It's not just that the boys,
..tried to understand her.

It's not just that the boys,
her brothers, were his friends.

It's not just that the boys,
She was, too.

She was, too.

He looked up to her.

WOMAN: He wasn't the most...

..sensitive.

He could get aggressive.

I'm sorry, but...

..can you be more specific?

He liked aggressive sex.

He liked to be in control
and he liked to inflict pain.

He liked to be in control
PIET: OK, but...

PIET: OK, but...

..I mean,
PIET: OK, but...

..I mean,
what exactly gave him a thrill?

Cruelty.

Was Ric van der Molden into cruelty

because he witnessed
the ultimate act of it?

because he witnessed
Oh, who knows?

Oh, who knows?

What about those two?

They're into each other.

Ric inflicted pain on Zoe.

Maybe she'd had enough.

New girl on the block intervenes.
He's not gonna hurt her anymore.

Yeah, but where does Jan
fit into that?

Well, we now know
he was obsessed with the case.

Maybe he got in touch
with Ric van der Molden, too.

Maybe he got in touch
Or he discovered something new.

of the crime scene?

How was he killed?
Uh, no. You cannot.

Uh, we know
that Ric saw Jasmijn Brahm.

Uh, we know
Why? What did he want?

Why? What did he want?

To meet her face to face.

Fascinating, right?
Look.

Two people who've made contact
with Jasmijn Brahm are now dead.

Two people who've made contact
Oi.

Oi.

You made contact with her, too.

Meaning I'm next?

That would be fun, wouldn't it?
(LAUGHS)

I could be an exhibit

I could be an exhibit
I wouldn't joke about it.

I wouldn't joke about it.

EDDIE: Why did you track her down?

Why do you think?

I mean, this place is fine, but...

..it's sort of full of the dead.

Is that not the point?

It's not the same as
a real living, breathing murderer.

It's not the same as

Is it?

Look, I...I just wanted to say
that I'd met one,

maybe take some pictures,

some memorabilia,
a couple of anecdotes.

No. Her and her husband
rejected my request.

Did Lauren Teuling say
she knew anything about restitution?

She lied.

Lauren Teuling. How do you know her?

She's been to a couple of meetings

LUCIENNE: You can off-load to me.

I want to talk to you anyway.

PIET: Shall we?

You said you didn't know
anything about restitution.

But you follow Johanna Kolen,
who's all about that.

Am I not allowed to support
a worthy cause, even?

My ancestors were plantation owners
in North Sumatra.

It's never sat well with me.

Still...

You lied. Why?

I didn't want Johanna
sucked into any of this.

I didn't want Johanna
Because?

Because?

Because she's an innocent.

What, the person you could have been?

HANNA: Not for 14 years in prison.

Isolation. Vilification. Hatred.

What about before prison?

It really doesn't matter about me.

Well, I think this case proves
it does.

Well, I think this case proves
I believe in the idea of redemption.

I believe in the idea of redemption.

A country giving back what it stole.

It's never too late.

What if you can't give back
what was stolen?

I just want you all to go away.

What about Ric van der Molden
and Jan Kappel?

Wanted them to go away?
Yes.

I've loved Lauren
since the day we met.

I've loved Lauren
We deserve our happy ever after.

has Lauren been teaching you?

Um...

Um...

..she thinks I need to learn
Um...

a bit more patience.

I can be a bit hot-headed sometimes.

I can be a bit hot-headed sometimes.

Can't we all?

No.

(PHONE BUZZES)

Sorry. Yep.

She just seems to know
what it's like

to have lost your soul, you know?

Are you saying she's soulless?
JOHANNA: No!

No, not her, the museums.

That's what they do. They steal the
souls of ancient cultures, right?

She just gets that.

And...how do you think
she gets that?

And...how do you think
I don't know.

I don't know.

EDDIE: We need to go.

CITRA: OK.

Lauren lived around the corner.

I saw her around.

Always on her own.

I was unhappy, single.

I introduced myself and...

..never left.
Love at first sight.

Simple as that.

And then you were together?

No. No.

She kept trying to end it,
dozens of times.

I couldn't understand it
because we were so good.

And then she told you?
(VINCENT SIGHS)

And then she told you?
Yes.

Yes.

Thought it would see me off
once and for all.

Thought it would see me off
And it did,

And it did,

for about three months.

Then what changed?

I figured everyone
deserves a second chance.

Lauren and I got married.

We had kids.

We were both happy
for the first time in our lives.

And then...

..then they all started
contacting her,

..then they all started
first Kappel, then Zaal, then Eric.

first Kappel, then Zaal, then Eric.

I'd happily hospitalise them all
if I had met them.

You must be pleased
that two of them are dead, then.

I just didn't want them bothering us.

Is that so much to ask?

Excuse me a minute.

Yep?
EDDIE: Yeah.

It's about Vincent Teuling.
LUCIENNE: OK.

It's about Vincent Teuling.

He fell out with the first victim,
and he can't meaningfully account

for his whereabouts
at the time of the murders.

patient confidentiality.

I'm taking it
that was not a coincidence.

No.

I sought him out.

I knew he tried to contact Lauren.

I wanted to know if he was a threat.

Well, he's now a dead enemy.

Let me get this straight -
you asked a complete stranger

Let me get this straight -

What do you think?

Me?

I don't know about loss, but...

..I believe in
forgiveness and redemption.

Everything I know about the case
tells me Lauren is guilty, but...

..I don't know, I...

..think maybe it's not her
killing now.

And I think...

..but I think maybe
she didn't do it back then either.

That's what Piet thought.

What, that she was innocent?

Yep.

I disagreed with

they're presented with.

When are you gonna give me a problem
I can't solve?

You see,
the DNA wasn't such a thing then,

not least because Jasmijn
lived in the house and confessed.

And as a result, no-one,

checked the fibres

take me out, but then...

I mean, you might

..what's the point?

Exactly.

What is the point,
when everyone's corrupt,

What is the point,
when all the systems fail?

when all the systems fail?

Your justice? There's no such thing.

You didn't report Jasmijn

when she met up with Ric.

You said you did, but you didn't.

You just upped the surveillance
on Lauren and listened in even more.

And that's what Jan Kappel found out,
isn't it?

I don't understand.

It's OK.
Took me a while.

Breaking into Max Langenburg's,

not leaving a trace.

Same with the rented apartment.

It's very professional.

Did you learn that from your partner?

He was killed, wasn't he?

Well, I say killed.

He committed suicide.

With this gun.

After he was wrongly accused

and blamed of something
that he didn't do.

Still, what's that
got to do with me?

Because you were wronged!

Even more so.

You thought Jasmijn was innocent.

But you are, aren't you?

Ric van der Molden,

aged 12, he set fire to the house.

Fibres from the hobbyhorse...

..they don't have your DNA on them.

But they do have Ric's.

No-one checked.

Did you know it was Ric?

Is that why you took him out?

He was...

..almost bragging about it.

And that was your justice?

You take out Ric, Jan?

I mean, he was a...

..he was a good man.

Who was getting too close!

I want this to stop.
Yes, so do I, and it can now.

I want this to stop.
Because you were wronged, OK?

Because you were wronged, OK?

I was wronged.

PIET: That doesn't justify
I was wronged.

PIET: That doesn't justify
killing other people.

I was righting a wrong!
No, you weren't!

You weren't. You weren't.
I killed my brothers. No-one else.

You weren't. You weren't.
But he, uh...

But he, uh...

The forensics. He just said.

They were wrong.

I still don't know why,
or where it came from,

I still don't know why,
but I have to live with that.

but I have to live with that.

Carl and Jonas...

..they deserve better.

Not me.

I am grateful for
a second chance at life, but...

..I don't deserve it.

But...

(GROANS)

Oh!

It's over.

Thank you.

I should thank YOU.

It was pretty heroic,
what you did back there.

Admitting guilt?
Yeah.

Admitting guilt?
Given that you were lying.

Given that you were lying.

It distracted Hanna.

It's not the truth, though, is it?

Well, I...I don't think
I'll ever know for sure.

Well, I...I don't think
I have no memory of it.

I have no memory of it.

Listen.

The forensics are right.

Don't you want to clear your name?

It won't change anything.

It won't bring Carl and Jonas back.

And Ric got what he had coming.

Restorative justice.

Restitution.

Um...

..I lied about something else too.

Yeah?

I did remember you from the case.

Because I could see that you were
at least open to the possibility

Because I could see that you were
that I was innocent.

that I was innocent.

You didn't judge.

And I thank you for that.

If I'd fought harder for you
back then...

But I wouldn't have had
my second chance.
