Juliet?

Good morning. - Hi, Jamal. Good morning.

It's a young girl.

No ID. They're still looking for her phone.

Any missing persons matching her profile?

Did he find the body?

He thought he'd hooked up a bike or a fridge, but...

Watch where you go.

Juliet. This is Dr Claessens. - Good morning.

She replaces Tamara. Transferred here for six months.

Ah, Tamara. Has she had the baby yet? - Not long now.

Apparently, the baby's a kicker.

Where have you joined us from, Juliet?

Brussels.

But she's a coastie, too. When did you leave here?

A long time ago. Tell me, doctor.

Yes. We have a 15-to 16-year-old girl.

No tattoos. A birthmark in the neck, and this here...

Several cuts to the left wrist. Some recent.

Some have healed.

Auto-mutilation. - Yes.

And of course, the head injury here, most likely caused by a blunt object.

Of death?

Based on body temperature, between 10 p.m. last night

and 4 a.m. this morning.

Is it her first? - Yes, and she wants a home birth.

Without an epidural. - No way.

Those are scratch marks. - Yes.

So she was still alive. - Looks like it, yes.

I don't want to run ahead of the autopsy results,

but there are probably fibres of that strap under her nails.

What? - I don't understand that no one's called.

She's a minor. Someone must miss her. - Or perhaps not, Jamal.

Jamal? Juliet?

Can you come?

Can I take a look?

Thanks.

Fleur.

CD? - Claire Devos perhaps?

Could be. - Who?

The jewellery designer. She has a shop in Concessiewijk.

My dad knows her husband well. Koen Delrue, a building contractor.

Hang on. Don't they have a daughter in secondary school?

I'll call Nico.

Wow, things move fast here. And he's ahead of you. Better catch up.

You're well-prepared.

Are you mocking me? At least my feet are dry.

This is the coast. Fodir seasons in one day.

Hello. - Hello.

The cost of materials has gone up, too.

I need to pass those costs on. Have you got a second?

Mr Delrue. Dumon and Haout. Midcoast Crime Unit.

Haout? Not related to...? - His son, yes.

It's a small world, eh. Hello?

I'll have to call you back.

Yes, all right.

Mr Delrue, does that look familiar to you?

That's my daughter's. My wife made it. Why?

Do you know where your daughter is now?

At her dance class, I think.

Can I please ask what is going on?

A girl's body was found in the canal this morning. The bracelet was found nearby.

What?

Does your daughter have a birthmark like this one, in her neck?

No, but...

Mr Delrue, we aren't sure yet who... - Hang on a second.

Fleur?

That's Amber's birthmark.

Fleur?

How come your bracelet was found next to the canal?

Amber and I swapped bracelets because we're best friends.

But you're not wearing the bracelet.

Could we wrap this up now? She's just lost her best friend.

What was your argument about? - Is this an interrogation?

Should I call my lawyer?

It's okay, sir. It's not an interrogation.

No one home at the dad's house, but I've got his work address. Let's go.

Right. Greet your dad for me.

I hear he wants to run for mayor.

Yes, I hope he stands a chance. I heard...

Amber was acting weird lately.

She was always in a bad mood and..

She got angry quickly.

Really bitchy and..

Others said it, too.

Fleur, you don't have to say anything.

I unfollowed her. I didn't want to see her anymore.

And in school? - Darling, I suggest...

Let me finish.

Amber and I went to different schools.

\Ne knew each other from hip-hop class, but..

She hasn't been there for weeks.

Was her only friend.

That must be him.

When did you last see Amber?

Yesterday morning.

Before she left for school.

You didn't see her last night?

What is your problem?

You think I don't know where my daughter is?

She's 16, okay? She's very capable of looking after herself.

Mr Colpaert, that's not what we were suggesting. It's for the investigation.

I was in Wenduine.

With my girlfriend.

And Amber spends every Friday with her best friend, Fleur Delrue.

She sleeps over and then they go to hip-hop together.

Fleur says Amber hasn't been to the dance class in weeks.

That's impossible.

She loves it.

She didn't spend the night there on Friday either.

Sorry, Mr Colpaert, but I need to ask.

Your daughter had cut marks on her wrist.

Did you ever talk to her about that?

Do you know if Amber had a boyfriend?

Yes.

Okay. Thanks.

His girlfriend in Wenduine confirms he was with her.

What teenager leaves their phone at home?

That's odd.

You tried everything to take her from me! - So it's my fault?

You were going to look after her - Because you were never there

Amber waited for you so often.

That's Tania. My ex.

Amber's mother.

Auntie?

Auntie Juliet?

That lady is here. Will you open the door?

Chloe, I'm in the shower. - I am not opening that door.

Honestly. This is bullshit. Do it yourself.

But the family we've found is very excited.

They live in De Haan too, so you'll live nearby.

When can we visit them?

Can't I just live here?

When Grandad was alive, I did everything for myself.

The authorities won't allow that.

Semi-independent livings only permitted from the age of 17.

That's a silly rule. - It's not a rule. It's the law.

\Ne just want what's best for you. - Right.

Dumping me with people I don't even know. - Come on, Chloe.

Luckily, Grandad made enough spaghetti sauce for an entire army.

Why don't you just stay here? In De Haan?

That would work, wouldn't it? - Me?

Hm-hm. Then I can carry on living here.

Well...

I can't work in Brussels and look after you.

So many do it. - No. Not with my job.

I can't choose my hours. And I've built a life in Brussels.

For three years. Until I'm 17. - Sorry, Chloe, but...

That's a bad id

I'm not a motherly person. - Neither was Grandad.

But he did it.

And he was on his own. I didn't see you here much.

Excuse me?

What about your dad?

Do you know I am the only one still looking for him?

Just say you don't want me. - Wow. That's really unfair.

OUTSTANDING BALANCE

PAYMENT REMINDER

PATIENT INVOICE

Chloe, I need to go.

Chloe, I really need to go.

I'm on a tough case. I'll drop you off at Jonas and Laura's for your...

For your babysitting job.

Chloe, I get that you're angry, but I can't stay here.

Look, we'll go and visit those people, and we'll see. Okay?

And I'll keep looking for Danny.

Yeah, right.

You know we're seeing Klaus tonight? I might be late, but...

Okay..

Come here.

How are you? - Good.

Hi, Chloe.

You want to carry it? Can you manage?

I only saw you briefly at the funeral.

But...

Your dad used to come in a lot.

To have something to eat or drink. Have his whiskey.

Is something wrong, Jonas?

Well... It's not urgent, but..

He had an outstanding bar tab.

Right...

ow much do I

That's expensive whiskey.

You know what, never mind. - No, give it here. I'll transfer it.

But... - Give it. Give it.

But... Ive it. Give it.

How are you otherwise?

Can you find your way around? In De Haan?

Sorry, Jonas. I've got to run. - Sure. Sorry.

I agree, Madam Investigating Judge.

But shouldn't we leave the matter to the press judge?

Agree.

Yes, Madam Judge. Have a nice Sunday, too.

MURDERED GIRL FOUND IN CANAL NO CLUES AS TO SUSPECT

It doesn't stop.

Jamal?

Thank you for your quick analysis, doctor.

Bye. Sorry.

What does the lab

The stones in the bag were taken from the waterside.

And the rope could've been from anywhere.

Autopsy report? - I spoke to Dr Claessens.

Amber Colpaert drowned. The head wound was not the cause of death.

Anything else? - High doses of Lorazepam in her blood.

Lorazepam? - Yes.

Was she prescribed that? - We don't know how she got it.

Perhaps she was drugged.

Any signs of sexual violence?

She was sexually active, though.

16 years old.

Did she have a boyfriend? - We don't know yet.

Superintendent Lefever.

No. Sorry, Meyrem. I can't say anything now.

The press briefing is at 11

"I'm fed up, bitch. You're messing me around.

Come and find you. Fucking cow.

Where are you? Call me back."

And there are loads more on her phone.

All from the same person? - Yes, Vermeire Thomas.

17 years old. Gets into scuffles, bar fights.

A hothead.

I've got his address, too. - Thanks.

Nico, could you do an international search for me?

Sure.

Danny Dumon.

Danny Dumon.

As in Juliet Dumon?

Is this linked to an investigation? - Yes.

Okay. - Thanks.

Mr Vermeire. Midcoast Crime Unit.

Is your son home?

Yes. He's in the garden.

Thomas?

The police are here for you.

Can we ask you a few questions about Amber Colpaert?

I don't see Amber anymore. We're over.

We got a different impression.

Did you have an argument?

Those are your messages on Amber's phone.

Did you go find her after this?

Have you heard what's happened?

The girl in the canal?

Where were you on Friday night?

At home.

We were both home.

The entire evening and night?

Yes.

We watched a series. Until 3 or 4 a.m.

Sir, could you give us a minute alone with him, please?

Of course Thank yo

When did you last see her?

A couple of weeks ago.

She suddenly went quiet. She didn't even answer her phone anymore.

Was she dating someone else?

Thomas?

Amber was your girlfriend.

She dumped you.

Why

I don't know.

Unusual, eh? The dad answering for his son? - Yes.

Conny? We've got a request for the investigating judge.

A signal tracking for Thomas Vermeire.

The house is of course also part of the estate, but...

that includes office space and storage for the antique shop.

A sale could put money in the till. - Yes, okay.

So all liquid assets are gone.

And the remaining debts need to be paid. - Yes. Okay.

Through a liquidator. We appoint a liquidator?

And for the house, the beneficiaries have to sign.

The beneficiaries are my brother and I. But I still haven't found him.

You'll have to do that first. - Yes, thanks.

Come on, Klaus. That's politics. That's for boomers.

No, it's for you. I'm an old fart. I won't live to see it.

What if the sea levels reach over your head

Luckily I can swim. - Swim?

Sorry I'm late. - No worries.

\Ne need to go now, or it will be too late.

And? Are you ready for this?

I don't know. I've never done it before.

You have. You went hand trawling with Grandad, right?

I'm not coming.

\Ne planned to go together, didn't we?

I've got a migraine. That wasn't planned.

Come. We can go just the two of us.

I just want to be alone for a bit.

Bye: Chloe.

Juliet? Come!

I'm quite sure Herman wanted it that way.

Chloe was always his biggest worry. - Was she?

He didn't write down anywhere that I should be her guardian.

Klaus? He didn't want to see me.

He always told me...

that he hoped you would come back.

But he's no longer here, so...

When your mother died,

it destroyed your father.

Perhaps he didn't get it right with you and Danny...

but he was there for Chloe.

And for me. He was my best friend.

What are you going to do with his antique shop in Bruges?

Close it down, as soon as possible.

It's running at a loss, so...

Do you know where I can find Danny?

Do you need Danny for that? - Not for the shop, no...

Then perhaps you shouldn't find him.

Okay, Klaus, but his dad's died and his daughter needs looking after.

There's a reason why your dad was looking after Chloe and Danny wasn't.

You know that.

Here. - Thanks.

Careful. They're hot.

Good, eh?

Yes.

Chloe?

Chloe?

Chloe?

Fuck.

Chloe?

Where is she?

The mayor and the alderman for local economy

have asked the police to give the highest priority to the burglaries.

We conclude with the only highlight in this news bulletin.

This afternoon at 4 p.m.. The police and Public Prosecutor confirmed

the identity of the girl who was found in the canal this morning.

It is 16-year-old Amber Colpaert.

Information on a possible suspect is very succinct.

If you have information or tips, you can...

You're not at work yet?

I fell asleep at 4 a.m. - Poor thing.

My tinnitus.

It's gotten worse since I got here.

That's no surprise. You're in the lion's den.

Why are you calling me?

I was just wondering if you had a copy of the ballistics report

for the triple murder in Rue Blaes. - I do. Why?

Because your replacement, Kevin...

says he can't find it in our files. I swear, the guy is so annoying.

I look forward to having you back. We do miss you a little bit.

Celine, I need to go. I'll send the report as soon as I can, okay?

Okay. - Say hi to the colleague

Big kiss, darling.

Yes, Jamal? - Ah, you're up.

I wouldn't pick up if I weren't.

I'm scrolling through Amber's photos.

She didn't look happy lately. - Where did you find those photos?

On her social media. - Send them to me.

Okay. Just a sec.

You got them': - Hang on.

She didn't have many friends. Only 28 followers.

She wasn't popular, you're right. - Look for the photo with a tiara.

Read the comment by Amigo.

Amigo. "You look like a model."

Check out his account. Something's off.

Account removed. You're right. That's weird.

Was Amigo her new boyfriend? And is that why she dumped Thomas

We will have to talk to her mother. She might know more.

Hang on, Jamal.

I see a photo of her and Fleur with a box of Lorazepam in the background.

Okay, Fleur. Do you know where this picture was taken?

At home in the bathroom. - Okay.

And do you know...

who this belongs to?

We're not here to trouble you about a few pills, Fleur.

This is about Amber.

We did that a couple of times.

Just for fun.

We would follow it with a shot to...

But Amber took it too far, to the point she couldn't even talk.

That wasn't okay.

Amber was talking to one Amigo. Did he get you those pills?

Who is Amigo? - Then who did they come from?

Mrs Delrue?

My doctor prescribed them to help me sleep.

And you didn't notice pills were missing?

I have a few boxes. I always worry I might run out.

Is there anything else you want to tell us, Fleur?

Saw her on Friday at the beachfront.

She asked if I had any more pills.

Amber started crying. She said she really needed them.

That she missed me.

But then she got a text and she walked off without saying anything.

You say she got a text, but..

We found her phone at her house.

She'd bought a new one. A fancy one.

I thought that was weird.

Amber had two phones. An old one and a fancy phone worth over 1,000 euros.

Her dad didn't even have money for a simple computer.

So... Amber leaves school at 4 p.m.

And around 5 p.m.,

she sees Fleur at the beachfront. - Can I?

But after that, she goes shopping. - Yes.

This bag here..

Is 'from the perfumery.

And at 5:48 p.m., she paid for beauty products totalling 356 euros.

And she paid in cash.

So question is: where did she get the money?

Exactly.

Any news on this Amigo? - He's erased his online tracks very well.

CCU is working on it but don't expect any results soon.

Have we found the smartphone and the' blue rucksack?

No.

The signal tracking for Thomas Vermeire?

Yes. His signal was picked up on Friday night near Billies Bar

from 10 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. - So they lied about their alibi.

No one's home.

Do you hear that, too?

It's coming from down here.

Oh no, fuck. - Goddammit.

Mr Vermeire? Dammit.

Mr Vermeire? - Come.

Shit, no pulse. - Help me.

Koninklijke Baan 16.

We're resuscitating a person who's breathed in exhaust fumes.

Sorry. He's passed away

Thomas...

Thomas, come with me for a minute.

Dad... Dad, Dad! - Thomas, you mustn't see this.

Come. Take it easy. Calm down.

We've called emergency services.

Thank you.

I have something here, but..

Please don't show my family.

Okay.

That video suddenly appeared on his laptop.

With a warning.

Keep your mouth shut, or this will be sent to the cops.

Dad didn't know who was blackmailing him.

Why was your dad with Amber?

My dad didn't know who Amber was.

He thought that Amber was called Kimberly

An escort? - Kimberley831.

And did Amber know your dad?

Why do you think she didn't want sex with him?

Zoom in.

How did you get the video your dad was blackmailed with?

That's the birthmark.

When I got home that night..

He was sitting on the sofa.

All confused.

He'd supposedly had a row with Mum. I didn't believe him.

Something else was going on.

When he lied to you,

I instantly knew..

I knew he was involved in Amber's death.

Did you confront him?

He denied everything.

He got angry and hysterical.

But then he started to cry and he told me everything.

And that's when he showed you the video?

Yes.

How did your dad take Amber to the canal?

In his car?

He didn't do that.

Suddenly, this man showed up.

My dad didn't know who he was, but Dad...

wanted to take Amber to the hospital, but..

The man was going to sort everything out.

Dad only had to put Amber in the car.

And this man...

Was he young? Old?

What type of car was it?

Did he say anything about that?

No.

Does the name Amigo ring a bell?

No.

That's a shame.

And you don't recognise the spa

Not the countertop either? It's quite distinctive.

Never seen it before? A - Okay. No problem.

Okay. - Yes. Thank you. Good evening.

And no similar apartment for rent? Okay, thank you, Madam.

Bye.

What a nag.

So, shall we order something?

Fuck. Pizza. - All right by me.

No, I need to go. Sorry.

Okay. I'll keep going. On my own.

Irony? I wouldn't. It doesn't suit you.

Juliet, wait. I'll take you to that party. - No, Mum.

Am, I am. Come.

Let's go in the car, come.

Mum, please, no. I'll go alone.

I don't want anything to happen to you.

Yes?

Room service.

I've eaten already.

So how was school today?

Everyone acts like I have an illness or something.

I'm just sad. Is that allowed?

Just in case.

Are you still there? - Course I am

Send me another photo

You look like a model

NEXT TIME

You had something on my brother? - Yes.

Chloe, you don't have to lie to me. Do you have a boyfriend?

No, I don't.

We have a name. Alex Van Dooren.

I want to go home.

Fuck!
