PREVIOUSLY

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

A head injury, most likely caused by a blunt object.

That's Amber's birthmark.

Amber was acting weird lately.

Always in a bad mood, getting angry quickly.

Where did you come from, Juliet? - Brussels.

She's replacing Tamara. Transferred here for six months, but she's a coastie, too.

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

When did you leave here? - A long time ago.

When your mum died, it destroyed your dad.

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

but he was there for Chloe.

Auntie Juliet! That lady is here. Will you open the door?

But the family we've found is very excited.

Can't I just carry on living here?

When Grandad was alive, I did everything myself.

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

So many people do it.

No. - Just say you don't want me.

Excuse me? What about your dad?

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

Nico, can you do an international search for me?

Yes. - Danny Dumon.

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

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

Did she have a boyfriend? - Yes. Vermeire Thomas, 17 years old.

Gets into scuffles, bar fights. A hothead.

Thomas? The police are here for you.

Where were you on Friday night? - At home.

We were both home.

Why was your dad with Amber?

My dad didn't know who Amber was. He thought she was called Kimberley.

An escort. How did your dad take her to the canal?

He didn't do that. This man showed up. - Amigo. "You look like a model."

Amber was talking to one Amigo. - Who is Amigo?

You don't recognise the space? Not even the counter top? It's quite distinctive.

Have we found the smartphone and the blue rucksack yet?

You look like a model

Come on.

It will be fine. Just see if there's a click.

You can call me if there's anything.

Right.

What?

Go on. Go.

Hello. Hi, Chloe. - Hello.

I am Marianne. Xander and Lise are playing in the garden.

Would you like to see them? Get to know them?

Okay. - I'll be there in a minute.

Would you like a coffee? - No, thank you.

I'd love to, but I've got work. - Maybe later.

Thank you. - Bye.

Yes, Jamal?

A man has just been spotted with Amber's rucksack.

He took bus 31 in De Haan in the direction of Wenduine.

He has a beard, black jeans, a leather jacket and a burgundy hat.

Okay, thanks.

Thirty-one?

Yes.

Police check.

Yes. He got out three stops ago.

Where are you now? - I'm on Kustbaan towards De Haan.

Okay, I'll make a U-turn. I'm on my way. Be there in five minutes.

Hang on, Jamal. I think I see him walking.

Hang on.

Yes. It looks like Amber's rucksack. Yes.

I'll call you back, okay? - Okay.

Midcoast Crime Unit. I have... Goddammit. Wait!

Wait!

Why are you running away?

Okay. Thanks. Bye.

What did Nico say?

A few counts of shoplifting, cannabis nothing major.

Okay.

Where did you get that rucksack? - Found it. Is that not allowed?

Where? - In the bins.

The things people throw away.

If the world goes to shit, it won't be my fault.

What did you do on Friday night? - I was home. Sleeping.

Can anyone confirm that? - I found a rucksack, that's all.

You're laughing? This is a murder investigation.

The rucksack belonged to the girl they found in the canal on Saturday.

I... I just found it. It was empty.

School things.

This is the bag from the CCTV footage.

And the smartphone? Have you seen it? - Not at first glance.

You'll have to get in, Jamal.

Come on, Juliet. - Well...

You know how important that smartphone is for the investigation, Jamal.

All right then.

Juliet Dumon. - It's Marianne.

Yes, Marianne. - Chloe has run off.

What? - About ten minutes ago.

Was she cross when she left? - Yes. she was upset.

She left on her skateboard. I couldn't keep up with her.

Chloe?

This is Juliet Dumon. Chloe's aunt. Is she with you by any chance?

Or has she gone but with Emma?

No, okay. Thanks.

Just leave her. I know her. Sometimes she needs time to...

Just a minute, Klaus.

Never mind. It's not her.

Do you know where else she might be? - Go home. Juliet.

And try to properly talk to her.

Yes, all right.

Let me know if she stops by, okay? - She'll be back.

Any news on the rucksack?

The lab is searching Amber's things for fingerprints or DNA.

No traces yet.

And the new phone? - I didn't find it.

No money either. No ID card.

He must've taken the money and thrown the rest in the canal.

That's what I would do.

Were criminal.

Lunch, lunch, lunch.

You had something on my brother?

Yes. Here.

Arrested in Perpignan in 2015 for drug possession.

In Gerona in 2016, also for drug possession.

And then he stayed out of trouble for a while.

Hamburg, 2019, for resistance. - Hamburg?

Yes. And he hasn't had any brushes with authorities since.

What is he doing there?

It doesn't say that.

I'm not available at the moment. Lea

Chloe, you can be cross with me, but just call me back.

Let me know where you are, okay?

Am in the toilet!

Honestly.

Juliet? Got a moment?

Did I hear right that you asked Nico to do some digging on your brother?

Yes.

You know that we can't use police information channels for private matters.

Agreed? - Yes.

Sorry. It won't happen again.

How is your niece? It can't be easy for her.

No.

Juliet, if you need help or a chat...

my door is always open for you.

Thanks, Conny.

Oh, Juliet. We used to see your brother Danny here often...

after you left.

He became a... repeat customer.

And we often turned a blind eye. We knew he had a hard time at home.

Perhaps your dad took his eye off the ball while he was dealing with the grief.

Sorry, Juliet.

Perhaps that was too personal.

Everything is personal in De Haan.

Where were you?

I looked for you everywhere.

Marianne was worried sick.

I had to see if there was a click.

Well...

You're going to call Marianne and apologise.

No way.

Chloe, I'm just trying to find a solution.

For me or for yourself?

For us.

Look...

I get you. Okay?

Grandad is dead. You feel lost. - Don't pretend to understand me.

You don't even give me a chance. - No, you don't give me a chance.

You want rid of me so you can sell the place

and go back to your fucking life in Brussels.

Yes. Of course.

Of course, I respect the GDPR rules, but he's my brother.

Look, I just want to know if he attended your drug rehab programme in Hamburg.

You were going to buy bread. - Yes. In a minute.

Check the freezer.

But his child needs a parent, okay? I'm calling you only for this reason.

No, her mother is already dead. There is no one else to take care of her.

I really need to find him.

Sure, I'll write you an email. Thanks.

Honestly.

Are you going to Amber Colpaert's funeral?

I didn't really know her.

Didn't you take dance classes with her?

I don't dance. - I thought you did.

I can drive you to your dad's. - Are you mad?

I don't know where he lives anyway.

I don't know. We could track him down, drive there. I'll take you. Wherever it is.

Maybe. - What, maybe? What do you mean, maybe?

Not good enough, is it? What if I tickle you?

Take it easy. Stop.

Or you could come live with me. - Yeah right.

I'll be your guardian. - In your dreams.

Oh, my poor heart. That's cruel.

And for a word of comfort, we will now listen to Hannah.

Dear Amber.

We're going to miss you in our dance classes.

Your crazy moves, your loud laugh.

The show must go on, you always used to say.

You saw it in a movie and since then...

No matter how hard your life got, as soon as you walked in the door,

you were beaming.

I remember that time we took the class to London.

And you started to dance in the middle of the street.

Couple of tourists even gave you money and you gave it to a homeless person.

That was typically you.

You all right? - Yes.

- Hi, Jamail. - Hi, Hannah.

I hear you're working on the case. - Yes.

Hello, Juliet.

Hannah. We went to school together. I was a year lower.

Oh, right. - I was in Danny's class.

- Is he doing better now? - Uhm, yes.

That's good to hear.

Goddammit. - I'll be over there.

Lovely words earlier.

Never paying child support but treating her to a trip to London?

It's not true! I have no money! I didn't pay for it.

If there is anything we can do to help..

Let me tell you something. I have nothing to do with that trip to London.

You explain it to them.

Are you all right, madam?

He says I paid for that trip to London. But I didn't.

I didn't even know she went there.

So neither of you paid for that trip?

No. I don't have that kind of money.

Am babysitting, so having dinner at Jonas's

That's odd, isn't it?

Shall we speak to your dance teacher again?

The dance school confirmed you paid for Amber's trip to London in cash,

but the school wasn't allowed to tell her parents.

Why was that?

Why not? Did I do something wrong?

Mr Delrue, an older man giving a 16-year-old girl 400 euros.

Isn't that a bit odd? - She was Fleur's best friend.

Since when is benevolence a crime?

Benevolence isn't a crime.

Murder, however...

Inspectors, with all due respect, I freed up some time for the funeral,

but I have other things to do. - I understand.

I hope you find the murderer soon. - Got it, but we're not done yet.

Have you ever been in this room?

Is that Amber? - Or Kimberley831.

Were you a client of hers, too?

The name Amigo.

Does that ring a bell?

Look, Mr Delrue.

You are not obliged to answer our questions at this point.

But it would help us, and yourself,

you cooperated.

Do you really think that I'd... in that building with a child?

That building? You know where it is?

I know where it is, yes.

That's the Coquillage estate. I recognise the kitchen.

It's one of my first big jobs.

Am I being detained?

Then let's get out of here.

That's the Coquillage estate.

Do you know it? - It's near the canal.

Is that the Coquillage estate?

Next to it is a squat I used to stay at.

Intense.

If we need to search all those flaits one by one...

Can you make a list for us of everyone who lives there?

I can't.

What do you mean, you can't? - I've got an aikido class now.

Aikido?

Come on, Jamal.

First that list, then aikido.

No. All right. - Aikido...

RESIDENTS COQUILLAGE BUILDING C1707

We had some lasagna left over and I thought you might...

Not be a good cook.

Here. - Thanks.

Want to come in? Didn't Chloe come back with you?

No. What? Is she still not home?

I don't want to interfere, but..

She was going to babysit this afternoon. - Yes.

But she cancelled. - Oh?

Migraine. But... Laura saw her at the beachfront later on.

That seemed odd. - Yes.

It's probably nothing. Teenagers, eh.

But I thought you should know.

Right, how's the case going? - Okay. Thanks.

How did it go?

The usual.

Played hide-and-seek and video games. - Sounds fun.

Shall we have dinner together?

I've eaten already. - Oh? Where?

At Jonas's. They have real food.

You'll be pleased then because...

Jonas brought this over.

Was left over.

Come on, Chloe. You don't have to lie to me.

Do you have a boyfriend? - No, I don't.

Is he cute? Or is it a she?

I went skating, that's all. Is that allowed?

Or don't you believe me?

Typical.

Sorry. I... Chloe, I believe you.

What are you doing? - Nothing.

Are you going through my stuff? - Sorry.

Come on. Chloe. Who is he? - None of your business.

Come on.

No need to be embarrassed!

Grandma's necklace, with the golden rose.

Do you know where it is?

Grandad was so attached to it. He didn't get rid of it, did he?

Okay, Chloe. Sorry. Okay?

I shouldn't have gone through your things. I know that was wrong. Sorry.

Occupational habit, I think.

The necklace is in the safe at his antique shop.

With some other stuff. He figured that was safe

Okay. I'll have a look.

I'm going to the movies tonight.

Can I have twenty euros?

Sure. Should I transfer it or...? - Yes, please.

Morning.

You okay? Was my list of any help?

I have about ten flats to start with. - Okay.

Is 307 one of them?

Don't know. The property manager said

he got noise complaints around the time of the murder.

What time? - Between 11 and 12 p.m.

There had been complaints before, but no one has ever seen the tenant.

Spooky.

Hang on, Nico.

I'm coming with you.

Are you holding on

The tenant of flat number 307 is Lara Mertens.

She's 23. No police record. But apparently, she's never there.

That's her.

I haven't been here in a while. - Where do you live?

In Ostend.

So someone else lives here?

Was planning to give notice. I just haven't got to it.

Could you wait out here, please?

Thank you.

I think that's the same kitchen.

Yes, everything is in the same place.

Probably from the camera.

Look. - All that blood is definitely Amber's.

And we found DNA of at least twelve other people.

Could Lara Mertens be Amigo?

Thomas Vermeire said Amber was pushed into the canal by a man.

His dad only helped put her in the car.

She could be an accomplice. - Yes. She could be.

And she's luring girls into prostitution? For Amigo?

She has to get the money somewhere.

She's on the dole, but she is renting a flat here and in Ostend.

Who else had access to your flat?

Did you know what went on in there?

Know someone called Am

Lara, I understand you're scared, but..

Amber Colpaert was 16 years old.

Could that be her? Look.

It was my first time with him.

I had constant rows with my parents and..

He understood me.

We were good together.

But then he said he owed money to some dangerous men.

I could help him by sleeping with a mate of his.

Just this once, and...

it would be fixed.

But a week later, he came back.

I wanted to stop, but..

He had filmed me with a webcam.

Was going to show it to my parents.

I was allowed to stop after a while.

But he'd only agree to it if I..

If I rented something in my name.

The flat.

I knew what went on in there.

Do you know his real name?

We have a name. Alex Van Dooren.

Alex Van Dooren.

Hang on.

What's wrong? - What the fuck.

Juliet, what's wrong?

What the fuck! That's Chloe's new boyfriend.

What’s wrong?

Let's go look for her. - Juliet?

Is that Amigo? - Yes. Her niece's boyfriend.

I'm not available at the moment. Don't leave a message. I won't hear it.

Chloe, can you call me back, please?

Check if she's home.

Juliet! Come! I'll drive.

After you.

Nice. So you live here? - Yes. Not bad, eh?

Would you like a drink?

Sure.

All right. Do you know what an Old Fashioned is?

Yes? No, yes?

I'll make you one.

Hi, Nico.

Van Dooren's official address is in Brussels,

but he hasn't been there for two years.

His mum thinks he has a flat on the Ostend beachfront.

She didn't know where exactly. I can't find

anything in his name. Probably used an alias.

Okay, thanks.

Stop stalking me.

Chloe, if you are with a guy called Alex, give me his address and I'll come get you.

Alex? I don't know any Alex.

The boy in that photo.

No, that's Viktor.

No, that... That's a fake name. That guy is no good, Chloe.

Look, if you..

Chloe?

Your aunt again? - No. Emma. She's doing her maths homework.

And she calls you for that?

Yes.

Are you the teacher's pet?

I'm just clever. - Oh, you're a clever clogs.

Okay.

It's a little bitter. - It's all right.

It's the Angostura. That's what makes it nice.

You need to take a few sips. Big sips.

There you go.

Makes a change from a cola, doesn't it?

That shy look is so sexy, you know.

Nico, you keep looking for that address. We're on our way there.

Tell our colleagues in Ostend to be on standby and be ready.

Okay. I'll let them know. - Thanks.

Is the heating on in here?

No.

But if you're too hot, you could take your jumper off.

Or should I go first?

All right. I'll go first.

You're next.

Yes? - I've tracked her phone.

She is at the beachfront in the centre, but that's as close as I can get.

I'm afraid you'll have to find her some other way.

Oh fuck. Hey.

I don't feel very well. - Oh dear.

I want to go home. - Come on. We were having a nice time.

Finish your drink first. Go on.

There you go.

Hey. I've got an idea.

I'm going to make you one more and then I'll take you home. Okay? Yes?

There. Ice cubes.

You can stay the night if you want. I'll take you to school tomorrow.

It's Chloe.

Yes? - You need to come get me.

We're on our way. Is he with you? - No, he's in the kitchen.

Do you know his address? - I can't get out. The door's locked.

Okay, stay calm. - I feel drowsy.

We know he has a flat at the beachfront. Can you look outside?

Go to a window and tell us what you see. - Hey, Chloe...

I've probably told you this but...

You're the prettiest girl I know.

Do you know that

Here.

Go on. I thought you liked it.

I don't feel so good. - Lie down. I'll look after you.

What the fuck.

That telescope. Do you watch the seafront with that?

No. That's to watch the pretty girls on the beach.

I thought I was the prettiest girl. - Yes, but that was before I knew you.

And that statue by the casino, what is that?

The statue by the casino. - I know it. The Dancing Waves.

They're just pieces of old iron.

But what is it called?

Chloe, why are you acting so weird? What's wrong?

What are you doing?

Take your hand off.

Are you calling someone? - Emma, about the maths task.

Aunt Juliet. - Fuck!

Okay. It should be here. - They know you.

What? - You're Alex.

What the fuck!

Leave the siren on.

There. A telescope.

There's another one over there.

Keep walking. Don't fucking fight me.

Okay.

What are you doing? Stop.

Over there. Fifth floor.

You're coming with me.

Fuck!

Stop resisting.

Open up! Police!

Wait, Jamal. - Fuck.

Come on. Wake up. Get up.

Get up. Come on.

There.

Target is on his way down.

Fuck.

Open your window.

Open your window.

Take the key out of the ignition.

Key out of the window.

- Key out of the ignition. - Chloe, we're here.

Alex, turn your engine off. You've got nowhere to go.

Key out of the window.

Hands where I can see them.

On the steering wheel.

Fuck you, motherfucker! Fuck you!

Hey, Chloe. Come, let's get out of here.

Are you okay? - It hurts.

What? - It hurts.

Where?

The ambulance is on its way. I'm with you. He's gone now. He's gone. It's okay.

It's okay.

Does it still hurt? Show me.

It's okay.

Grandad often spoke about you.

Juliet.

The girl of the sea.

He used to call you that.

She'll be back.

He also said that you thought his spaghetti sauce was the best.

That was...

That was a lie.

I know.

Will you come to Bruges with me tomorrow?

I want to get Grandma's necklace and..

Some other pieces of jewellery.

Before they're taken away.

I want them to stay in the family.

This is where he lay.

How did Grandma die?

Grandad never told you?

He said she drove into the canal, but..

People don't just drive into a canal. What happened?

You were there, weren't you?

I don't remember, sorry.

I'm going upstairs.

I don't want to! - Yes, you do.

No running. Come here.

They're not in here.

What?

Ms Yildiz?

NEXT TIME

She's in surgery.

It isn't our first intervention at her home. She was stalked for months.

Sorry about your failed career, Mum. Sorry it failed. Sorry for existing, Mum

I'm just saying I always did everything... - We never asked for that!

Sorry, uhm... I need to go outside.

Who is that man in the video?
