Original subtitles

Marianne Koens was brutally murdered.

Probably by her partner Anton Bergman and her stepdaughter Julie Bergman.

I accidentally shot Marianne from the stairs.

I wasn't even home when she died.

You put a father on his own daughter.

And his client is also innocent.

Claire, that child is lying.

Of all the people in the world, you ordered Marianne.

Did you just go shopping in my wallet or not?

You don't stand a chance against Marianne.

And we won't ask you about your friendship with Julie.

Dad!

About a month before Marianne's death, Anton called me and Bennik

to say that Marianne had become unwell.

Later it turned out that she had an overdose of phenobarbital in her blood.

So that Anton killed Marianne on the side.

But what he wants to say is that Pix could have been just as suspicious

and that Park had not even thought about it.

You don't even know that Pix did it?

You do have to judge two people in life.

Then you might as well do it right.

Yes, wait. I don't know if that's such a good idea.

It was never my intention to hurt you.

Maybe I gave the wrong signal.

I won an apartment and I need money for the warehouse.

A thousand euros in coke, how do you get around that?

I quit.

Already 283 days. I have to leave.

Are you okay?

Just a moment. I didn't want to burn half of it.

Are you the driver?

Yes.

According to Jan, those photos were sent with a Twitter account

with the name Firestarter.

That's nothing for us to buy.

He made me take over 18 photos.

It didn't look like you were against it.

Look, the lottery is here too.

Are you nervous?

It's a light weight.

I'm not one of those jobless people.

Come on.

I'm sorry, but for the first time in 12 years,

the lottery has been canceled.

It's your turn.

Here she is.

The business is going well?

Yes, don't complain.

It's going well, I heard.

Yes, good driver.

You should feel it.

That's possible.

Mr. Bergman, you are a good guy.

We vote for you.

Thank you.

Sorry.

Wait a minute.

Be careful.

Yes.

Turn around.

Are you okay?

Julie!

Are you okay?

You're more nervous than I am.

Let me see.

Okay, that's a bit too much.

Where's daddy?

Wait, wait.

Here.

If you get married, I'll kiss you.

To thank you.

I'm married.

Arjen.

Hi.

Do you want to stay with me?

What about the boys?

Don't you have a boyfriend?

Never.

Did you make that yourself?

A precious bracelet.

Something went wrong here.

The colors, I don't know.

Isn't it a bit childish?

No, I think it's beautiful.

For you.

Julie, I can't take that.

Give it to one of your friends.

You've already made some friends.

I want to go back to my cell.

Back to your cell?

Please.

You're going back!

You're going back to mama!

Mama!

What happened?

What happened?

I don't know if you want to help me.

I don't know why.

All of a sudden?

If something special happens?

Julie.

If something's going on, I want to know.

Otherwise I can't help you.

I don't want to hurt you.

Come here.

Here.

Hold it in for a while.

Time is of the essence.

You can do it.

Mama, can you knock?

Be gentle.

Are you coming?

Yes. Bye, mama.

Is everything okay?

There's no one here, sir. Who are you looking for?

My sister, Lubna Komiza.

She left with her boyfriend this morning.

If you see her, she left that.

I told you I didn't need it.

You should have thrown me out.

Yes, but...

What do you want me to say?

Can we talk about it? I don't feel good about what's going on.

My taxi is here.

Come on, I'm not the only one who went wrong.

Dennis!

Romy.

Sorry.

What do you want?

Yes.

The prosecutor was contacted this morning by the Begijnenstraat.

Yes.

About the conflict with Julie Bergman.

Yes, indeed.

There were some problems with her cellmates, but nothing serious.

Apparently, this box was the reason for the conflict.

Ah.

I didn't know that.

Your client didn't say anything.

I asked the chairman to put this down and add it to the file.

But this isn't...

It's just old scribble.

This...

I don't see what that means.

Madam chairman, the jury will misinterpret this.

It's very clear. Black dots.

That's murder.

That's...

That's pure imagination.

Come on.

You see that too, right?

No.

Madam chairman, this has no relevance to the truth.

This is about perception, not facts.

We have different opinions about that.

Jan, get the copies.

Madam chairman, I'd like to put down the next piece and add it to the file.

To the file.

Yes.

I have to make the jury aware that there was an incident this morning.

A fight took place in Julie Bergman's cell.

The guard found a notebook that could be objectionable to her.

That's why this piece is added to the file.

But we'll come back to that later.

Mrs. Vermeers.

You are appointed by the parquet as a court psychiatrist.

Shall we start with Mr. Bergman?

In Mr. Bergman's biographical anamnesis,

nothing remarkable has come to light.

He grew up as a single child.

He was a rather weak student.

He didn't finish high school.

He has an IQ of 95 and is considered to be average intelligent.

He is well-spoken.

I would dare to say charming.

But he has a rather introverted personality.

On the one hand, he is very self-confident and noble.

But on the other hand, he has a low self-image.

How does that translate into his daily life?

The test research has shown that status is very important to him.

The right clothes, the right car.

But also to surround himself with the right people.

And all that to compensate for his low self-image.

And was alcohol a way to deal with that?

That could be.

But I mainly link that to the loss of his first wife.

A woman.

Could it be that Mr. Anton Bergman,

if he had drunk too much, that he becomes aggressive?

Mrs. Vermeer?

Alcohol causes loss of impulse control.

So you could say that someone's true nature comes to the fore

when he has drunk.

But in this case I can't give an explanation.

And is there anything you can give an explanation about?

What I hear here are mainly assumptions.

My client answers your questions and you project what you want.

Out of the water, Mrs. Vermeer.

I base my analysis on internationally recognized methods.

Questionnaires.

Did my client state in one of your lists that he murdered Mrs. Koens?

Did my client state that he will be charged?

Mr. De Donker will speak later.

Mrs. Chairman, I'm not in the lead here.

And Mr. De Donker knows that very well.

That is your answer.

Thank you.

Now, what struck me in the research

is that the score of the SIMS test was significantly increased on the scale of lies.

What do you mean?

It turned out that Mr. Bergman tried to manipulate my research.

Are you saying that Mr. Bergman lied?

Yes, a few times.

And Marianne Koens?

I mean, how important was the victim to Mr. Bergman?

It turned out that he always liked to see her.

But there was indeed talk of adoration.

As if he couldn't believe that someone like Mrs. Koens would fall for him.

Was he afraid that she would leave him?

How doubtful, yes.

On top of that, he is very sensitive to being rejected.

Injury is the worst thing that can happen to Mr. Bergman.

Under the successful appearance of Mr. Bergman

a frustrated person can get out of bed when he feels threatened.

At such a moment he will do everything to get the situation under control.

If you hear this, you want to get out of here.

No, that would be obvious.

I'm going to call you back.

I made a false statement when my brother asked.

I'm not stupid to have told him that.

In the biographical analysis of Mrs. Bergman

the very strong bond she had with her biological mother stands out.

She died when she was nine years old.

That had a huge impact on her.

Then her father played an important role for her.

I would like to mention that her father had to miss a lot during that period.

He was struggling with the loss of his real companion.

After dying, Mrs. Bergman completely devoted herself to her sport.

In that way she had been a celebrated triathlete in her mother's footsteps.

Did the relationship between Anton Bergman and Marianne Koens

later also have an impact on Mrs. Bergman?

Yes, that's right.

She not only experienced it as a deep betrayal of her own mother.

There was also a struggle for her father's attention.

She always came to an end at the shortest possible time.

Are there still elements in the personality study?

Mrs. Bergman has an IQ of 82.

We categorize that as below average gifted.

That's because she has a strong dependent personality structure.

And that means?

Well, for example, she finds it very difficult to be alone.

She's always looking for someone who feels life for her.

She needs a prosthesis to be able to exist.

Like her father?

Yes, for example.

But actually it's about everyone who pays attention to her.

Since she is below average gifted,

she sometimes finds it difficult to express herself verbally.

And that can lead to acting out.

That is to say, impulsive, aggressive behavior.

Madam Chairman, perhaps it is appropriate to talk about the incident in the prison this morning.

And perhaps to read from the book about the quarrel.

Madam Chairman, I don't see what one has to do with the other.

You may continue, Mrs. Proculeur.

As mentioned, this morning Mrs. Bergman was involved in a fight with her cellmate.

By the way, she has a broken nose.

That quarrel was about a poetry book of yours.

We found several drawings and texts in it.

In which she refers to a person for whom she cherishes feelings.

And from which a very clear hatred for Marianne appears.

Texts? Those are not texts, those are scribbles.

I quote.

I hate Marianne, but I love you.

I just want to be with you.

Marianne destroys everything.

Die, Marianne.

I kill you. Die, bitch. Die.

Exclamation mark, exclamation mark, exclamation mark.

Mrs. Vermeers, could it be that you are literally articulating...

what she is thinking at the moment?

That's ridiculous.

Mrs. Procureur blames my client on the basis of scribbles.

You may answer the question, Mrs. Vermeers.

Maybe we should also investigate my agenda.

Maybe I want to hit Mrs. Procureur in the head.

I'm not used to that from your master Verlinde.

Do you need a short break?

Can I hear?

No, no, no.

Excuse me, Mrs. Procureur.

It won't happen again.

Thank you.

Mrs. Vermeers.

I have found clear characteristics of an electro complex.

An electro complex?

It is an unhealthy fascination for the father figure...

in which the mother figure, in this case the stepmother...

is experienced as a transmitter.

So the person that Julie refers to in her texts...

could that be the father?

I can't say that with 100% certainty.

But it is possible.

Yes?

Could that fascination for the father go so far...

that the stepmother had to die?

That's not impossible.

I can't rule that out.

The different personality structures of Mr. Bergman and his daughter...

can strengthen each other in this context.

What do you mean?

It didn't go well between Mr. Bergman and Mrs. Coens.

And given his sensitivity to illness...

it is possible that his fear of being rejected by her...

was very real.

At that moment, the rivalry between Mrs. Coens and Mrs. Bergman...

was at its peak.

Plus, the girl would do anything to please her father.

In that case, one can be equal to the other.

We've seen a different side of that stepmother.

So cute.

She's very involved with her clients.

And you can see that.

I'm starting to get a bit nervous.

Sorry, John is already here.

No problem.

It wasn't about whether he did it or not.

But you don't see anything wrong with that.

I follow Frank.

In such a question, what do you know?

You don't want what you want.

It's strange that someone decides what you want.

I think he thinks the same way.

I know that both the father and the daughter...

are lying to us all the time.

That's not far from the truth.

The father, yes.

But the daughter doesn't see the girl lying easily.

What a shame.

Where are you going?

Skatepark.

You know what dad said.

Koopen, you're a coward.

Don't go skating. You know that.

Koopen.

Koopen.

Wait a minute.

It's not easy. He's going to show it to Oliver.

He's just looking for pictures.

Don't you miss John?

Does he know a lot?

Not really.

But you live so well together.

There was someone else, so...

Is that why you made it up?

Mom, how is that possible?

You know everything, don't you?

That someone else, wasn't that Firestarter?

I know a lot.

Koopen, please. You can tell me everything.

I'd rather you be honest.

But what? Don't you believe me?

Don't you want to eat?

Why didn't you tell me about that letter?

Oh, well...

I don't know.

I didn't know I had to.

If I had known beforehand, I could have prepared better.

Sorry?

What was in it?

Come on.

Kill Marianne, die.

What was the point?

I was angry.

Marianne wanted to send me to the hospital.

If I want to protect you, it's important that you tell me everything.

Do you understand that?

Is there anything else I should know?

No.

No?

No.

Mrs Vermeers, I'd like to talk to you about the Electra complex.

You talk about a fascination for the father figure...

and the fact that the stepmother would be seen as a troublemaker.

That's right.

And under that father figure, we have to understand my client.

Indeed.

Logical, because it's her father.

Did Julie Bergman tell you that?

Not literally.

But you were able to deduce it.

In my research, I always look at the whole picture.

The way the different elements interplay.

In this case, everything was very clear.

Both the place that Mr Bergman took in his daughter's life...

and the conflict between Mrs Bergman and Mrs Koens.

And that father figure.

Could that be someone else who plays an important role in Julie Bergman's life?

I'm not saying a teacher, or an uncle, or a trainer.

I couldn't deduce that from my research.

You talked about the importance of Julie's attachment to sports.

Then a trainer will be important.

I repeat, I couldn't deduce that from my research.

You'll have to ask her.

Mrs Bergman, you're right.

And tell me, what was the relationship between you and Mr Pijken?

Just...

Just...

But you were very close, if I understand correctly.

I don't know.

How many times did you see each other a week?

Twice, three times?

Four times a week before training.

And during the weekend, during competitions.

That's almost more than your father saw.

Actually, yes.

Actually, yes.

I heard from your father that in the spring of 2019...

you went to Lazarotti with Dennis.

Is that right?

Yes.

A qualification match for the European Triathlon.

With the juniors.

Dennis said I was ready for it.

And you stayed there for almost two weeks.

Where did you sleep then?

In the hotel where everyone slept.

Club La Santa, right?

A fancy hotel?

I think so.

Big rooms?

Fairly.

Big if you have the room for yourself.

Small if you share it with your coach.

Did you sleep in one room together?

Yes.

Yes?

A grown man who sleeps in one room with a girl of 16.

We didn't have a budget for two rooms.

I slept there for 14 days.

I did that.

You didn't even know that.

We'll take it easy, Mr Pijken.

Thank you, Madam Chairman.

Mrs Bergman, according to your father,

you went to the gynecologist with Mr Pijken in July 2019.

Is that right?

Dad couldn't, so Dennis came along.

First sleeping together and then going to the gynecologist.

Is it true that you applied for the pill band?

I didn't want to get my period during matches,

so I couldn't apply for the pill.

Dad knew I was going for it.

Dennis didn't do anything.

Is it common to set rules for a match?

No idea.

It was Dennis' idea.

Sorry?

It was Dennis' idea.

It was Mr Pijken's idea.

And if he says it, you do it.

A pill like that has other advantages.

I have a mail from a certain Lotte Verhelst,

a member of the Triathlon Association.

Does her name ring a bell?

Madam Chairman, we're not in the mood.

You know that's not possible.

Excuse me, Madam Chairman,

but I only got that document this afternoon.

I didn't want to delay the process.

That's very kind, but I can decide.

Thank you.

We're interviewing a witness.

Do you have anything to add?

I'd like to continue the interview.

Certainly.

Lotte Verhelst reported to the Triathlon Association

that she saw Julie Bergman

taking a bath in Mr Pijken's gym.

That's not true. It was a misunderstanding.

Mr Pijken, please remain silent.

Sleeping in the same room,

together with the gynecologist,

and together in the shower.

I'd like to add a little drawing,

but it won't be very clean.

How did that beautiful poem go again?

I love you, but I hate Marianne.

I just want to be with you.

Marianne destroys everything.

Kill, bitch, die.

Call sign, call sign, call sign.

Who says Julie Bergman has a problem with her father?

What if Marianne knew how close Julie was to her trainer?

Her ex-boyfriend had a B.N.E.

and that's why she had to go to boarding school.

Who says Mr Pijken isn't the father figure from your electro complex?

In my research, Mr Pijken didn't come into contact that way.

No? In my research, he did.

I'm going to ask you a question, Mrs Bergman.

Dear, I love you.

Is that about Dennis?

Mrs Bergman, is that true about your shower?

We just agreed that you wouldn't say anything to me,

and now this.

Dear, I love you. Who was that about?

Julie is looking at me. Did you have something with Dennis?

Do you know what the jury thinks?

They don't see silence, that's what they think.

Oh, that girl Antwoordnie has something to hide.

Do they agree with that?

Julie, do they agree?

We'll see each other tomorrow.

You don't believe all that nonsense, do you?

I'm not a pedophile.

You shouldn't answer to one of us.

It's not like that.

I never touched Julie.

But you were in the same room.

Mr. Meulen.

Sorry, that was a mistake.

Now we know.

Thanks for trusting me.

Is that what you want?

What if it's true?

Our client is in private. It's none of my business.

You're defending the wrong story.

Mr. Meulen, go on like this,

and start doubting your ability as a lawyer.

You're being paid to do our job, not to find the perpetrator.

Mr. Meulen.

Mr. Jellies.

What can I do for you?

It was a busy day today.

How do you feel about the accusations of Mr. De Donker?

I'm confronted with my client's face every day.

And to have to answer how Mr. De Donker

keeps on accusing me,

I'm really annoyed by that.

So the relationship between Mr. Pijken and Julie Bergman...

I can assure you with my hand on my heart

The risk when your client trusts you too much

is that it's very bad if it turns out to be unjust.

Men's toilets are on the other side.

You know how much respect I have for you, right?

I can't pee when someone's listening.

That doesn't matter.

Frank, what can we do?

I get it.

That child is all alone in the world.

Mother dead, stepmother dead.

Her father dropped her.

And then suddenly, suddenly you.

I'm going home.

Wait a minute, Claire.

I don't recognize you anymore.

Since when do you care?

Just keep in mind that the girl is lying.

Hey.

Is that your slut?

Yes, of course.

Come in.

This one is already messed up.

Don't pay attention.

Come on.

Murat, what are you doing here?

Ah, yes.

Your jacket from the hospital.

Thank you.

And, just...

Six months already.

Professional.

Technically, 283 days.

But they don't have a penny for that yet.

Are you going to drink something?

Murat?

Yes, sure.

Because I...

Sorry.

That I didn't believe you.

What's up, Steve?

What?

Just a second.

Did we agree on anything?

Just one.

Just one?

A sip, a glass, a bottle?

Or just one?

Just one.

Shut up.

Shut up.

What are you doing here?

Sorry.

Sorry, honey.

I didn't mean to.

I didn't mean to.

Sorry.

Sorry.

He owes me.

Sorry.

Are you okay?

Sorry.

Come.

No, it's okay.

Always the same.

I'm going to drink.

I'm going to get drunk.

I'm going to fucking go.

I'm going to...

That guy isn't okay.

That guy is going to be a father to my child.

Sweetheart, can we let that process go?

Who put my laptop on it?

Why would anyone put your laptop on it?

It was open this morning.

I was downloading it.

And now it's closed.

Maybe you won it yourself.

That's not okay.

That's my privacy.

Stop it.

Please, stop this nonsense.

Is that your right?

Good day, ma'am.

I'm researcher Mousfi.

This is researcher Schaukes.

We're here for Coba.

Good day, sir.

Sorry to interrupt.

We've been commissioned by the prosecutor of Schoonincks

to take care of the video transmitters and communication devices of Coba Adams.

Is that right?

Yes.

Could we ask your permission for a house deed?

Is that related to the pictures of Jean?

Her parents filed a complaint.

Could it be that your phone is at school?

Or somewhere else?

I've been fired.

I've been at home all day.

Come on, Coba. Where's the phone?

You've had it all day.

I went to the store.

Maybe it fell out of my pocket.

That's quite a coincidence.

Where are you going?

I don't know where it is.

I swear.

Okay.

We'll start with the laptop.

Yes.

And then Coba can come to the office for an interview.

Are you tired of the new pills?

Yes.

I'm falling asleep.

You don't have to take them every day.

The specialist said...

I don't know if I still want this.

What are you saying?

I don't think...

I mean...

I don't think I'm suicidal.

But I really don't know if I can still do this.

Living like this...

It's not that...

It's not that abnormal.

That thought.

We haven't tried that yet.

We can have another surgery...

We can take away a lot of pain.

It's worth trying.

We can barely pay the rent.

A citizen who wants to work four or five days a week

can take over his shift.

I don't understand what you're saying.

Everything.

I see everything in you.

I really want to...

I think, I believe...

But we can't give up now.

Simon.

Maybe you should talk to a therapist.

It's about Esther.

That's why we're here.

But the impact this situation has on you...

It's not understandable.

There's nothing wrong with me.

I don't say that either.

Lena Schoonjans.

She has a lot of experience with mental health.

Thank you.

Anything else?

I knew about the room in Lanzarote.

I knew about the gynecologist.

But I didn't do anything.

I thought it was normal.

In any case, the jury now agrees

that Julie and Dennis could have survived the murder.

Is that what you're thinking about?

I'm confronted with the loss of my client.

A flower?

It's a child.

I'm really disappointed.

A son?

Come on, we can wait till tomorrow.

I'm sorry.

Sleep well.

Thank you.

Are you ready?

After Dennis.

I forgot my shampoo. I'll be right back.
