PREVIOUSLY

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

When did you leave here? - Long ago.

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.

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

Why don't you just stay here?

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

So many do it. - No, not with my job.

Just say you don't want me. Excuse me? What about your dad?

I'm the only one still looking for him.

There's a reason why your dad looked after Chloe.

You had something on my brother? - Arrested in Perpignan in 2015

for drug possession. In Gerona in 2016, also for drug possession.

But his child needs a parent, okay?

No, her mother is already dead. I really need to find him.

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

That guy is no good.

Grandma's necklace, with the golden rose. Do you know where it is?

The necklace is in the safe at his antique shop.

With some other stuff. He figured that was safer.

They're not in here.

Madam?

Ms Yildiz?

Madam?

Madam?

Chloe's asleep.

What did you say?

Oh, Chloe. I'm needed at work. Klaus will be here in ten minutes, okay?

Okay..

The victim is Meyrem Yildiz. She has severe head injuries. She's in surgery now.

It isn't our first call-out to her home. She was stalked for months.

Jamal spent a lot of time on the case. We have a whole file at the station.

Okay, thanks.

CHANNEL MIDCOAST

Any signs of a break-in?

And her phone? - Not found.

Are they the neighbours? - Yes, they're Germans, here on holiday.

Okay. Thanks.

So a heavy discussion, you say.

We heard somebody scream actually. A woman.

She sounded very angry.

And at what time was this? - We just came out of the jacuzzi.

About 8 o'clock, I think? - Yes, yes.

And after that? Did you hear or see anything else?

We went to bed early.

Around 8:30 p.m.? - Yes. That’s right.

Yes. The sound of the ambulance woke us up.

At what time was this?

0 o'clock.

Yes, 10 o'clock.

It was a long day. We walked from De Haan to Blankenberge.

That's it for now, thank you. - Goodbye.

Dumon? - Meyrem Yildiz is out of danger.

And can we question her? - No. She's still under narcosis.

Perhaps tomorrow - Tomorrow?

Yes. If she's stable enough. - Okay. Thank you, doctor.

Your body makes me blush When do you have sex and with whom?

I want to screw you

Intense.

Yildiz.

Yes? - How is Meyrem?

What? Did Conny call you already?

It's all over social media.

Jamal, where are you?

At my cousin's wedding. Are you at the office now?

Yes.

I am looking through the file.

She's filed many complaints before.

For stalking, intimidation, anonymous harassment.

I know. That's my file. I'm on my way. I'll be there in 15 minutes.

What? No. You stay at the wedding. There's no need.

No, Juliet. - We might interview her tomorrow.

No, I was on that case for so long. I'll...

Jamal, sorry. It's... it's too loud. Okay? See you tomorrow.

Sailor Loser

Your ugly face shouldn't be on TV

I know where you live I hope you can't sleep

Jesus. You made me jump.

Sorry.

Nice suit though.

The file is huge.

Do you think it's the same person? - Don't know.

Meyrem hadn't reported anything lately. I figured it had stopped.

If I had solved the case, this wouldn't have happened.

Hey. - Got the lab report?

I'm the one on call, okay? Go back to your party.

One of us needs to look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow.

No, I'm staying.

We have a spare room, you know.

Can sleep anywhere.

Klaus, did Dad ever tell you what he did with my mum's jewellery?

No. - It's vanished.

And I can't find any invoices anywhere or...

He sold things without an invoice sometimes.

Yes. But he was so attached to it.

I wouldn't know. Perhaps he urgently needed cash.

For his antique shop.

Yes. Perhaps.

Right. I'm off.

What's going on?

Sorry, did I wake you?

What are you doing? - My mum's necklace...

Is it that important?

No, but it's odd that it's gone.

How was Grandma as a mum?

Well... Just like any mum, I guess.

I wouldn't know.

Never had one.

Sometimes kind. Sometimes not so kind.

Don't stay up too late, auntie. - I won't.

Good night.

Okay. And do you have a file on Daniel Dumon?

Yes, I understand. Dumon.



Daniel. Or maybe Danny?

No. No, my brother is much younger than that.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you for the info anyway. - No problem.

Ms Yildiz? The police are here. They want to ask you a few questions.

Hello. I am Juliet Dumon.

This is my colleague, Jamal. You already know him.

Hi, Meyrem.

We'll keep it brief.

You were attacked yesterday.

Do you remember by whom?

Do you remember what happened?

Yes.

I hit my head.

That's what the doctor said.

Your neighbours said you had a row with someone around 8 p.m.?

Do you remember with whom or what it was about?

No, sorry.

That's okay. - I think we ought to stop now.

One more question.

Meyrem. You were being harassed by a stalker some time ago.

Have you heard from him since?

Sorry, I'm in too much pain.

I'll get someone.

Unfortunately, she can only see family. I can't change the rules.

Ms Timmers?

Oh, yes. Jamal?

I uhm... They won't let me see Meyrem.

No one is allowed to see her, sorry. - She's very tired. She needs to rest.

This is my colleague, Juliet Dumon.

I'm Karolien, Meyrem's best friend from sailing.

Nice to meet you - What happened

We're still looking into it.

It's not the stalker again, is it?

Did Meyrem tell you about that? - Of course. She was distraught by it.

He was relentless. Fake sushi and pizza orders. Threatening letters.

So it was still going on? - Yes. It made her cry every day. I mean...

I took her sailing, to get away.

Then why did she stop filing complaints?

You can report it as much as you want. If nothing comes of it...

Right. I'll take my flowers home, I guess.

All the best. - Yes, thank you.

Come on. Let's go.

Dr Claessens's report is in.

Nothing we didn't know yet.

Traumatic brain injury due to heavy impact against a wall.

And skin tissue and blood of an unknown

individual were found under her fingernails.

So she fought back., - Yes.

That corroborates what the German tourists said.

A heavy row.

I'll ask the crime scene unit if they've found her phone yet.

Any idea who ordered the sushi? That was done with a fake email address.

Start reexamining that stalking file. - I'm on it.

Shall we talk to this guy again?

Guillaume Duvivier admitted to teasing her, but there was no proof for the stalking.

CHANNEL MIDCOAST

It's awful. Just awful.

We all feel for her.

How was your work relationship lately?

Strictly professional, really.

We only need to be good friends when the cameras are rolling.

Her file mentions she was being bullied. - Bullied?

Come on, I explained this. They were practical jokes.

Hiding her phone or changing the text on her teleprompter.

It's good for morale.

Ann, I've adjusted the intro a little. - Okay. We'll sort it.

And did those jokes carry on outside of the studio?

No, no, Haout. You're not pinning the stalking on me again.

Pinning? - You investigated it.

It only happened at work and I've stopped.

Look, Meyrem started in sports. Everything is a competition to her.

When she came on board, she thought she'd take over from me.

I didn't like it. But that doesn't make me a stalker.

Two minutes till live. - Okay.

Your father was here. About the break-ins at that holiday park.

The police seem at a loss. Your dad wasn't pleased.

Leave my father out of it. - Take it easy, Jamal.

One more question.

Where were you last night around 8?

At home. With my wife.

Can I do my job now? Maybe you should do yours for once.

I can't start without my glass of water.

Thank you.

We're live in three, two, one.

Good evening.

As you can see, I am on my own today.

We start this news broadcast with a sad announcement.

Last night, my dear colleague, Meyrem Yildiz, was the victim

of a brutal attack on her life.

Meyrem and Guillaume used to be at each other's throats.

Yes... But isn't he just an old white man who's fearful of losing his job?

I don't know. Meyrem wasn't easy.

But I understood her. She was frustrated I couldn't find a suspect

and the stalking weighed heavy on her.

What was that other thing? - About my dad?

He's an alderman. He sometimes comes in for interviews.

No, between you and Guillaume.

I can't stand his big mouth. - Come on, Jamal.

Don't let it get to you. - Okay, Mum. I'm checking his alibi.

Sorry we're late. The boy

Dad, more like.

No problem.

How are you? - Good. You?

Yes, all right.

One moment, she's super sweet and the next, she's not.

And then I can't get through to her. I don't get it.

I don't understand how people live with teenagers.

Most people are able to build twelve years of experience

before they deal with teenagers.

Chloe just needs stability. - Exactly.

And... I need to find someone who can give her that.

Someone she feels at home with, she feels comfortable with.

Yes. - Someone she knows.

So I was thinking of you guys.

Well...

We have no openings now. Sorry.

Could I have another one?

What about Danny? They still haven't found him?

No.

It may not be any of my business, Juliet, but..

Why exactly can't you look after her?

I'm going back to Brussels. My life is there.

And I'm not going to stay stuck here.

She didn't choose this kind of responsibility.

She didn't choose it, but people can't always do what they want.

Sometimes you need to take up responsibility.

Laura, believe me. I...

am not made to look after children. I can't do it.

Maybe it's more that you don't want to.

Whoa. Juliet has been through a lot, with her mother.

My mother has nothing to do with this, okay?

Want some more chips? - Yes, thanks.

Jools, I...

You know things aren't always great between Dad and me.

I have eyes. I don't need to hear that shit.

Put that cigarette away.

Can do what I want. - Can you? Okay.

You do what you want? Is that how things are? Fine. That's the new rule then.

Everyone can do what they want.

I want to go to Spain. Fine. I'm off to Spain.

No food on the table then. Too bad. I do what I want.

And put that cigarette away - Jesus, Mum!

Sorry, darling.

Sorry. What I mean to say is that you can't just do what you want in life.

Can't just do what I want.

I have to think of you both, of Dad.

Yes.

I've always been at home. - Yes, poor you, Mum, yes.

How sad for you. - What?

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! Did we?

You made that choice!

Meyrem's phone was found in the storm drain by her house.

Probably dumped by the attacker. Let's see what CCU can retrieve.

Will you follow that up, Nico? Get all data about her contacts on the night.

Yes. And Channel Midcoast has urged people to contact police with useful tips.

And? The word "useful" seems redundant.

Look at the letters. The ink is smudged.

Typical of left-handed people. Is Guillaume...?

Guillaume is right-handed. And he can't write with his left. I checked.

His wife and neighbours confirmed his alibi anyway.

Midcoast Crime Unit.

Yes.

Meyrem's neighbour saw someone go into the house.

Just now.

Okay.

Clear.

Police. Show me your hands!

Karolien.

What are you doing here?

I'm getting some things for Meyrem, for in hospital.

This is a sealed-off crime scene.

Karolien, sealed-off means no one can go in and nothing can be taken.

I'm just taking pyjamas and some things. She has nothing.

I've not touched anything else.

If she needs anything, you need to let us know, okay?

Right. Okay.

So you were able to see her. - Yes. For five minutes.

She didn't recognise me.

Go on. Take your bag.

I haven't touched anything else.

Will you manage? - Yes. Thanks.

Bye.

From our stalker?

Law firm.

The firm represents Gert Dossche, the owner of the holiday home next to Meyrem.

He accuses her of unlawful entry, invasion of privacy, and intimidation.

He should've been here by now.

What does that mean exactly? - It doesn't say.

The internet reviews are telling. Listen to this.

"Annoying neighbour." "Not recommended." " Unfriendly atmosphere."

"Trouble with the neighbour." And so on and so forth.

Okay, you go and talk to Gert Dossche. - Yes.

I've got some more useful tips to read.

No, I can run much faster than you!

Sorry. Got held up at after-school club. - No problem.

Calm down. Watch that door. - Can we watch TV?

- Can we watch The Simpsons?

I'll record it. Go now. - It's so funny.

Homework first. Come. Go upstairs.

Can I take my trousers off? - Keep it down. I'll be right back.

No problem. Go to your room.

When did those arguments start?

Was there a specific trigger?

You know what it's like. People are on holiday, they let their hair down.

And if it's a big group..

That's for when I work from home.

Saves me running up and down all the time.

I'm on my own. We're coparenting.

Understandable. Can't be easy financially either.

I rent this place.

The house in Leliaartstraat was part of my parents' inheritance.

We were going to renovate it. That's fine on two wages,

but I can't manage that on my own.

So I'm keeping it as a holiday let for now.

What is that complaint from your lawyer about?

About Meyrem? - Yeah, well...

She would ring the doorbell. Sometimes in the middle of the night.

Or she'd show up in the garden, complaining to my guests.

That never used to happen, but lately..

And that grows a life of its own on the internet.

Maybe she had good reason to complain. - I did my best.

To talk it out and resolve it.

I stopped taking bookings from some groups

because I knew that it would cause trouble, to do her a favour.

But it wasn't enough apparently.

When did you last speak to Ms Yildiz? - A week or two ago.

My lawyer said I should avoid all contact, so...

Sorry, guys. Just a moment.

That's not funny! - Come on. Enough now.

How is that homework coming along You here. And you here. Come.

I'll put a pizza in the oven. What are you going to have? A margherita?

And behave.

Knucklehead.

Sorry about that.

How old are they? - Seven and nine.

Where were you on Monday night around 8?

Monday... Monday...

You need to sign here. - Yes, wait a bit, darling.

Was picking them up from music academy.

What is it? - You need to sign here, Daddy.

Where? - Here.

Right.

So he's right-handed. - Yes. I'm checking his alibi nevertheless.

Next thing is an ankle tag.

I don't think that camera's such a bad idea.

Come on. - What?

Yes. Yes, okay. Thanks, Nico. Bye.

Gert was at music academy Monday night.

He had a discussion with a teacher because his daughter dropped her clarinet.

He left there around 8:30 p.m.

Too late to go and pick a bone with Meyrem. - Yes.

I want to find this fucking guy this time.

Whoa! Come on, dude. - What the fuck.

This is not a cycling path, fucking idiot.

Fuck, that's Jonas. - You know him?

Yes, let me handle it.

Jonas?

Juliet? What are you doing?

Were you in that car?

Were you following me in your cop ca

Jonas, come. - Are you taking me in?

No, please. Don't cuff me, please.

Don't cuff me. I'll take you home.

No, no, no. I'm not going home.

Whoa, careful.

You're a good cop. - You okay?

Are you okay, Jonas?

I'm okay.

Will you manage?

Sure. - Are you sure?

He's my ex.

Thanks, Jamal. - See you.

Bye.

Come on, Jonas. Sit down.

I'm going to eat something first.

Laura's calling you. Shall I pick up? - No, are you mad?

One, two, three.

What? Where are you getting all this energy from

You were near-comatose just a minute ago. - I told you...

What was my nickname in hotel management school

I don't know. I wasn't there. - Jesus, because I always...

rise again. - Like bread.

Yes. Like bread. You're such a daft cow.

Why don't you answer your phone when Laura calls?

We're going through a rough patch.

How come?

I cheated on her.

Last year.

With whom?

\Ne got through it, but...

since you've been back, we fight about everything.

Doesn't she trust me? - She trusts you, but not me.

She can tell... that I'm wondering

what it would be like...

if you and I were a couple. - Come on, Jonas.

What? - Have you wondered about that, too?

No, Jonas, we're not doing that.

Yes. It's in the past, I guess.

I'm not going to say time goes by too fast.

That would make me sound like my father. Fuck.

Oh dear. I don't feel 100% yet.

You can sleep in the spare room, if you like.

Are you sure?

Right.

Come on, Herman, one more. One more. Come. Don't be a wuss.

Please.

What if the kids need you? You want them to see you like this?

Oh, geez. You could go to them.

They're just as much yours as they are mine. You wanted them.

But you're never here, Herman.

And I'm stuck with the kids. - You're drunk.

Bloody hell. I'm drunk, yeah.

You should try it sometime. Makes you feel alive.

Fuck.

Has Jonas left already?

He left a note.

Emma is here.

Should I clean that wound again? - No, no need.

Jesus is risen! Thanks for yesterday

And? How was it last night? With your old flame?

Divine. What about you? All alone in your bed?

No, I went through the useful tips until 3 a.m.

"Suspicious-looking man, foreign accent."

He was meeting Meyrem here on Monday, but she didn't show.

Meyrem started coming here when she was still sailing.

She even had a fixed table. Over there.

And Monday night? - Normally she gets here for 7

after the studio. But at 7:30, she still wasn't here.

Her date had started on the oysters and champagne.

Excuse me, sir. Could you lay out the cutlery later?

And the date? Had you seen him before?

Meyrem's dates were quite varied.

But this wasn't her usual type.

Dylan? That's a party of twelve. Put three and four together.

Okay.

And he left without paying? - Yes.

Just before 8, I noticed the table was empty.

I'll show you. Come.

Hang on.

Yes.

Yes. Here. He's walking in. See him?

And this is when he leaves.

That's him.

Sorry. I need to go outside.

Who is that man in the video?

Juliet, who is he?

That's... Klaus. Klaus Fiedler. He's one of my dad's best friends.

You know we need to question him.

Yes.

Without you there.

He's an oddball, okay. Maybe there's an explanation.

Is Juliet Dumon here?

She knows me. - Mr Fiedler, we want to talk to you

about your date with Meyrem Yildiz: She was attacked on Monday night.

Did you see her that evening?

No. She did a no-show at a restaurant.

It wasn't a date.

But she's an attractive woman, isn't she?

I maintain her garden and do an odd job now and then.

Why did you arrange to meet there? - That was her idea.

\Ne had something to discuss.

And she didn't want to do that at her house.

Not at her house? - I don't know why either.

Meyrem had become very wary lately.

It wasn't the Meyrem I knew. Nervous, suspicious. I didn't understand.

Okay. And you had something to discuss? - Yes.

She owed me 450 euros.

But she didn't want to pay them.

Do you know why?

Her car got damaged and she thought I hit it with my lawn mower.

Okay, but that is useful information for us. You could've said that earlier.

I know how you think. You see fire even when there's no smoke.

What do you mean by that?

Right.

Let's go back to that evening.

Meyrem stands you up. What's next?

What did you do next? Did you go to her house?

See. That's what I mean.

No! I didn't go to her house.

It's a standard question. It's not an accusation, Mr Fiedler.

I went for a drink.

In Den Einstein.

Straight after? - No. No, or...

From nine, I think.

I went home first. Okay. Can anyone confirm that?

No.

I was alone.

But isn't there CCTV everywhere now?

Right. This is the restaurant.

Can you draw for us how you walked home?

I started here.

First one on the left.

All the way down to the beach.

And then home.

Can I go now?

No, Jamal, the investigating judge thinks the evidence is too thin.

Come on, Conny. It's obvious. He's left-handed.

He was at Meyrem's often.

Was he released? - Yes.

And she wanted a discussion on neutral ground. That says a lot.

That's not direct evidence.

I find it hard to believe. Why would he do it?

For 450 euros?

What about a DNA test? The suspect's blood was under her nails.

We have a privacy law. The judge won't issue a warrant

if there is no concrete proof of guilt.

I know. Then let's check his alibi.

Juliet, you need to stay in the background. Nico?

Yes?

Have we seized Klaus's phone yet? - Yes.

You can extract the data. - Come on.

Jamal and Nico will hit the road together. Check Klaus's alibi. All right?

Garden looks tidy again. 450 euros.

Hear that? Autotune. They use autotune in everything now.

It doesn't matter if you can't sing. As long as the show's good.

You listen to the wrong music, that's all.

From the Nirvana days. - Not a bad word about Nirvana.

What did you do that for?

That's cold! Are you mad?

It's in my trousers now, too.

Let's go home. Grab your things and wait in the car.

Why? - Just do it. Okay?

Nothing to do with you. She's cross with me.

What now? What was all that this afternoon?

You stole it. - What?

You stole my mum's jewellery.

No.

Your father gave it to me to keep it safe.

In case he went bankrupt. Which was imminent.

You didn't keep it, Klaus. You sold it.

Antiques Dekeyzer.

What are you up to?

Goddammit.

I needed money.

Sorry.

I'll give it back, I promise.

Where did you get those scratches?

This?

You still don't believe me?

Do you really think I could beat up a woman like that?

Sorry. You're right.

Klaus has scratches on his arm

Defence wounds from Meyrem

Chloe, can you hurry up, please?

Why do we have to dash off?

I need to stop by the shop. We have no dinner at home.

There's never any dinner at home. - Just hurry up.

Okay.

Why are you acting so strange? - No, I have nothing to do with it!

Is this really necessary - What's happening?

Nothing.

It's nothing.

Let me through. - Just wait here.

Wait. Just wait a minute.

Let me through. - Chloe. Wait.

Take it easy. You've got it wrong.

Shut up. - Klaus?

Wait. Chloe, wait! Wait. I'm just doing my job, okay?

What the fuck!

Chloe

You called them, didn't you? Fuck you!

Chloe, come back!

Why are we watching this?

Maybe you got into a heated discussion.

And it got out of hand.

Are you really accusing me now? That was 15 years ago.

No, 16.
