Ms Yildiz?

PREVIOUSLY

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

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

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

Are they the neighbours? - They're German tourists.

So a heavy discussion, you say.

We heard somebody scream actually. A woman.

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

It's not the stalker, is it?

From our stalker? - A 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.

She rings the doorbell. Sometimes in the middle of the night.

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

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

No.

It's vanished.

One, two, three.

He's my ex.

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

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

Come on, Jonas.

"Suspicious-looking man, foreign accent."

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

She owed me 450 euros, but she didn't want to pay them.

What did you do next? - I went for a drink. In Den Einstein.

Could you draw for us how you walked home?

Conny, it's obvious. He's left-handed. - Jamal, it's not direct evidence.

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

You extract the data.

You stole my mum's jewellery.

Your father gave it to me to keep it safe.

You didn't keep it. You sold it.

Skin tissue and blood of an unknown individual were found under her nails.

Where did you get those scratch

Take it easy. You've got it wrong. - Shut up.

Klaus? Chloe, wait!

You called them, didn't you? Fuck you - Chloe, come back!

You won't mind a DNA test then.

Is that obligatory?

He knows his rights.

Not at all. Then we'll ask the investigating judge for your arrest.

Perhaps he can convince you.

Is this being recorded? - Look, you don't have to cooperate.

The truth will come out. - I don't have to cooperate?

All right then. - But you will go into custody.

Jeff, take him away.

Okay, okay.

Yes.

Saw Meyrem that night.

Where? Not at the restaurant. Because you made off without paying.

I waited for half an hour. Until she rang me saying she felt unwell.

So you went to her house.

I've done jobs for her for years, and suddenly she refused to pay.

I had supposedly damaged her car.

So it got out of hand?

The neighbours heard a row at 8 p.m. Was that you?

No. No.

That was mainly Meyrem.

I stayed calm. But she..

She was furious.

There was some shouting, yes. - Sir, words don't scratch.

I wanted to calm her down. I grabbed her by the shoulders.

She grabbed my arm, scratched me, I let go of her and she lashed out...

And you threw her against the wall.

Look...

if you've got it all sussed out, then why are you asking?

Take me to that judge.

Come on. - Jeff?

Klaus was at Meyrem's house at 8 p.m.

That's more or less a confession. - The question is why. What's the motive?

He didn't smash her head into a wall over 450 euros.

It escalated. He's a big man. Even a small push...

What do you think, Juliet? You know him.

Well, I... I thought I knew him.

But threatening letters, anonymous stalking...

I can't see him doing that. - He was left-handed.

Sure, but why do it? Like you said, what is the motive?

What time did the delivery driver find her? - Just before 10 p.m.

So she lay there for an hour and a half.

And what did Klaus do after? - He had a beer at Den Einstein until 10.

Probably to secure an alibi.

And after that? - After that he came to mine.

I was on call. I couldn't leave Chloe home alone after the thing with Alex.

Right. Jamal. Klaus will face the judge.

Juliet, come with me for a sec.

Did you ask Jamal to arrest Klaus?

Yes. At his home?

Didn't we agree you'd keep your distance?

Yes, but I was there for something else. - Oh, I'm listening.

Klaus has...

Some jewellery from Dad's inheritance has gone missing and Klaus is behind it.

Yes?

Sorry to disturb.

I did the background check on Klaus Fiedler.

He was convicted in Germany in 1987

for aggression, threats and use of violence against police.

What happened exactly? - It doesn't say.

But he spent a few months in prison.

So he was a friend of your dad's?

Nico...

Okay.

Look. We need you here, Juliet.

But as long as Klaus is a suspect, I'd like to ask you

not to have any personal contact with him.

And perhaps it's better for your niece not to either.

Hello? - Hello, Celine. You okay?

We're celebrating Ashley's birthday!

Happy birthday.

You okay? How are things

Come and have a drink with us. It will do you good.

Yes, but... Chloe..

I know. But Chloe isn't a baby anymore. - I know, but it's complicated.

Wait...

Moussa is here. And this is the third time he's asked if you're coming.

I got the impression things got steamy between you last time.

Or was I imagining it?

Ah, look. Chloe is here.

Hello. Chloe. - Put that away.

Nice to meet you. Doesn't she look happy?

Wait. I can't hear you.

I'll leave you now. - Okay. That's fine.

Have fun. - Take care. See you soon.

Say bye to Juliet. - Goodbye!

Ciao. - Kisses, darling.

Is Klaus home yet?

The investigating judge has just arrested him.

Is that serious? An investigating judge?

They don't arrest someone for no reason.

And what is it about?

I'm not allowed to say. The investigation is still ongoing.

So he might be innocent.

Sorry, Chloe, I can't talk about it.

Yes. Run, run.

Yeah, go right ahead and ignore me.

What? I didn't see you.

You okay?

About last time, at your house..

I wasn't my best self.

You seemed to have a wild time. - Yes.

Jonas, what...

What happened between us was...

It was beautiful.

But we were so young. That's over. - Is it?

Because the way I remember it, you just hightailed it out of here.

Without saying anything. - What?

What could I say? - I get that you were sad.

I get it. And that it wasn't easy at home. With your father and your brother and...

But I was here.

Are you really accusing me now

That was 15 years ago. - No, 16.

I was there for you. But you ran off to Brussels.

You didn't answer my messages anymore. - I need to go to work.

That's it. Walk away. Like you always do. - What?

Yes, what? We could've had a life together. You and me.

\Ne could've explored the world.

Had kids.

And suffocate away here in De Haan like you

I couldn't stay here.

Yeah, you go.

Her friend was here last night. She remembers a lot about her past in sailing.

Everything, actually. But recent events are trickier.

Sorry. I need to.. - Thank you.

Karolien?

It's Juliet Dumon from the police.

Can I... Can I ask you something?

We know that on the night of the attack you argued with Klaus Fiedler.

Is he your attacker?

Meyrem?

Don't know.

Help me.



Klaus's stuff. We brought these in because there's all sorts in here.

Did he give his DNA?

After we made him. But I have little doubt about the result.

Look. His secret savings stash.

All his odd jobs were probably cash in hand.

"For Klaus"?

Wild Rose.

That's my mum's band. - Is it?

The Razor Blades.

Never heard of them.

And this is your mother? - Yes, it is.

Were they any good? - Yes.

They only made one album though.

Creative differences?

The report from CCU is in. They were able to revive Meyrem Yildiz's phone.

What time did Klaus leave her house? - 8:30 p.m. latest.

She made three calls within seven minutes.

To the same number. - Emergency services?

No. Gert Dossche.

Ice cream! - Not now.

Me too! - Dinner first, then pudding.

Give me that. - Mum lets us.

Mum's not here right now. - I don't feel so good.

You shouldn't have ice cream then. Go upstairs, jackets off.

Jackets off! No! I'm cold.

Mr Dossche. I had one more question for you.

You told us that you hadn't heard from Meyrem Yildiz in weeks.

That's right.

But... on Monday night she tried to call you three times.

Did she? - Why didn't you tell us?

My lawyer told me to block her number, so I didn't hear those calls.

She rang me all the time. Even in the middle of the night.

Why would she call you three times in seven minutes?

That could've been for anything. Maybe the neighbours' TV played too loud again.

That's the German couple. - Yes.

Did they say anything to you?

The guests don't tell me everything.

Okay. Can we check your phone?

Hello. - Good afternoon, sir.

Can we ask you a couple of additional questions?

Yes. Sure. Come in.

Sorry, but is something wrong?

I hope the lady didn't die.

We're just trying to figure out what happened.

We know the victim tried to contact the owner that night.

Probably to complain about something? - About us?

There must have been something. But we went to bed very early. 8 p.m.

Sir, we're fully aware that the lady was a bit...

difficult sometimes.

Maybe you got into a heated discussion.

And it got out of hand. - Sorry, but are you accusing us?

I told you we were asleep.

Is it true what your husband says?

We can prove that it was not us. - Darling, don't do it. Please.

Calm down, sir.

This is a private video, okay?

So please...

And why are we watching this?

Well, here on 00:12... Look.

What time is this? - That's 8:27 p.m.

After the row with Klaus. And Meyrem doesn't have any injuries.

So...

Meyrem argues with Klaus, she scratches him, but she remains unscathed.

She's all worked up though. And she takes it out on the neighbours who are..

Filming their debauchery outside. - And they keep that from us, of course.

What about after that? What did they do after? Go to bed?

No. They went inside and kept filming at intervals,

in the living room, the dining room, on the kitchen table,

and in the utility room.

And then they went to the shower. That's

where you hear our sirens in the background.

Any more juicy details, Nico?

I whizzed through it, but..

You can go through it all again then. Enjoy.

Okay, can we focus on Meyrem? So...

She gets angry with the neighbours and what happens next?

She calls the owner. To complain.

But he doesn't pick up because he's blocked her number.

Could she have returned, frustrated, angry?

No. There is enough video material to prove she can't have.

Klaus can't have returned either. - He was in Den Einstein.

There are multiple witnesses. - So it must have been someone else.

I'll have to ask the investigating judge to release Klaus.

Can we talk?

Klaus, what do you expect me to do?

You argued with the victim and then refused to cooperate.

And you were convicted for assault in Germany.

Assault? That conviction was bullshit.

I demonstrated against nuclear missiles.

A cop was beating up a friend of mine. The girl couldn't defend herself.

Should I have let that happen? - I'm not saying that.

That old story doesn't give you the right to throw me in jail over nothing.

It wasn't nothing. - You still don't believe me? I'm innocent.

You should've cooperated. - I have.

I told you the truth, albeit not right away.

Right. And what's the truth about the jewellery?

Right. I'll file complaint then.

Someone else can figure it out.

I sold the jewellery for Danny. - What do you mean, Danny?

Did my dad know?

Danny urgently needed money.

For a rehab programme.

The umpteenth one.

What?

Were they still in touch then?

What the fuck!

I've been looking for my brother for weeks and you know where he is.

Your dad sent him money regularly. - For rehab.

Who knows?

He always had some story.

You know how a drug addict functions.

And why didn't Chloe know?

For her own protection.

He's her father.

Couldn't he come and visit? - He did at first.

But it always misfired. He never really came for Chloe.

Lately, Herman paid him to stay away.

So he could buy drugs. - It kept him on the straight and narrow.

Anyway... when Herman went bankrupt,

he couldn't pay anymore.

I want Danny's number.

Chloe has a right to see her father. - He should stay away for Chloe's sake.

Sorry, but that's...

Each time he returns, it opens old wounds.

That's not your decision to make. You're not family.

Give me his number.

I don't want a moustache. - You have to.

No!

What's going on? Goddammit!

Wow. Really? Fuck. Juliet.

When did it happen?

Two months ago.

I looked for you everywhere.

I didn't know where you were. Klaus gave me your number in the end.

- Yes. Yes, I'm still here.

I thought it was odd he didn't get in touch anymore.

Was the funeral nice

Yes.

Yes, it was nice.

Sorry you had to miss it, Danny.

There are a few things we need to discuss.

Yes. What's that music

That's Chloe. She found Mum's guitar.

Can I speak to her?

Chloe?

It's your dad.

Dad

Hi. Is this my daughter? How are you

Yes. Yes, I'm fine.

What about you? - I'm great.

Can I speak to him after? - I've missed you so much.

Oh really?

Did he hang up?

Yes, he had to go somewhere. But he'll call back.

How did it go?

I don't know. Well. I think.

Yes, Jamal? - Meyrem has disappeared.

Oh, fuck.

Her condition worsened overnight.

This morning I wanted to do a CT scan, but she was gone.

Fast forward.

Slower, slower.

Stop right there.

That's the friend. - Karolien.

You know her. You need to bring her back. If she haemorrhages, we need to, operate.

Is the ambulance en route? We're nearly at Karolien's house.

Wait. They're not going there. Her car was spotted on Wenduinesteenweg.

That's towards the marina, right? - Yes.

Okay. Thanks. - Bye.

Fuck.

Over there. - She's on the move. Come.



Karolien!

Karolien!

Karolien? - She's resting.

I'm with her. She needs me.

Meyrem? - But she's fine. She's fine.

I'll look after her. You can go. - She's bleeding. She needs the hospital.

I'll look after her. It's fine. Go away. - Karolien, she needs surgery asap.

Let me just... - Put that down.

Put that down now! Hands against the wall

Against the wall!

Jamal, she's unarmed.

Meyrem?

Meyrem? Are you okay?

That wasn't my intention.

I could never hurt her.

But did you see how short-staffed those hospitals are?

I could just walk out with her. No one stopped me. No one.

I just wanted to give her the care she deserved.

By care do you mean, all those letters the gifts, the photos?

The online orders? The sushi last Monday? What was that for?

I didn't start that.

That Guillaume from work..

He's a lunatic. For him, every day was April Fool's Day.

There was no end to it. And she took the brunt of it.

She came home crying every day after those broadcasts.

That was no life.

When Guillaume stopped, you didn't have to comfort her anymore.

Was that hard for you?

Hard? I'm her best friend. I...

I'm the only one Meyrem has. She might have an uncle abroad, I don't know.

I'm her best friend. I listen to her. I'm always there for her.

I always comfort her.

You don't know what it's like to be a celeb.

You get so much attention. What if that all disappeared? That's hard.

If all that mail suddenly stopped. - Karolien. It wasn't just any mail.

You are so ugly

Threatening letters.

Sneaky photos. There are more.

I'm the one who comforts her and listens to her.

I'm always there for Meyrem. I'm her best friend.

Then why did you attack her?

Attack her?

Do you attack your best friends?

No. I don't, no. - Neither do I.

So you didn't attack her?

That's what I just said. I was working that night. You can verify that.

Really now?

Want one?

No, thanks. They stain your teeth. - Oh no, are you serious? Yes.

All right.

See you later.

Everyone gather round, please.

I have some sad news.

Meyrem Yildiz died from her injuries an hour ago.

She had a brain haemorrhage. Sorry.

Karolien Timmers has been sectioned.

The judge considers there is enough proof for the stalking and kidnapping,

but she can't be behind the first attack at Meyrem's house.

Her alibi checks out. I'm sorry, Jamal.

You okay?

The attacker is responsible for her death. That's whom we need to find.

Go home now. It's been a long day. We'll start afresh tomorrow.

Help me.

Can I have the reviews folder?

Yes.

Pizza.

Thanks.

ROW WITH KLAUS

Where have you got to with the reviews?

I went through the first batch, but they all had the same pattern.

Just a very annoying neighbour.

But recently, they also mention the owner.

Look here. This person argued with the neighbour by the hedge.

"Luckily, the owner coincidentally came by and was able to defuse."

And... here.

"In the morning, we noticed the jacuzzi had broken down,

but the owner was already there to it."

Once can be a coincidence, but... twice?

He happens to be around when there's a problem?

It's like he's watching.

Nothing?

Jamal?

Check this out.

What did you think when you saw that?

A friend of mine has a jacuzzi.

You mustn't turn them off. The water cools down too quickly.

And it costs a lot of money to heat them back up. Especially in winter.

This was around 8:50 p.m.

Fifteen minutes after her last phone call.

You didn't hear the calls, but you didn't have to.

You watched everything live.

Do you know... I could no longer sleep..

When I had guests?

You weren't the only one.

The constant conflicts.

The complaining.

The bad reviews had already halved my bookings.

I had to find a way to check. Intervene if something happened.

That time I said, "No way. I'm not going there. No chance in hell. Leave it."

But I was so fed up. Do you understand?

When I got there, she wanted to slam the door in my face.

I was furious.

Beside myself.

She wanted to call the cops.

But

I followed her into the living room.

I snatched her phone and..

I just...

How does that sort of thing happen?

I gave her a push and..

Saw blood everywhere.

I panicked.

I didn't mean to do it.

Should've called the hospital. Straight away.

But I'll make it up to her. I will.

Meyrem passed away yesterday.

Are you okay?

I failed her.

None of us suspected Karolien. We were looking for a man.

And turns out the stalker wasn't even the killer.

It's shit. It stinks.

But just think of all those times you did make a difference.

Does it look blue yet?

Thanks.

Danny?

Sis.

Are we going to hug or what?

Weren't you going to call back? - Dad?

Chloe.

Fuck. You've grown so much.

You've got a beard.

Come here.

I've missed you.

And you smell.

Yes, sorry.

Long trip.

I'll go and freshen up. Are you sleeping in the spare room?

No, no.

I sleep in Dad's room. - Lady of the house.

Come.

I've learned to play the guitar. - Nice.

Can you play? - A little.

I'll show you later. - I'll have a shower first.

Yes, you had better.

Who taught you? - I taught myself.

NEXT TIME

Mummy! Mummy!

And they stabbed him with a sharp object.

Did you hear or see anything? - No. Nothing.

No, we didn't hear anything. - Nothing out of the ordinary.

What's going on with this family? - Sorry. Could I just say something?

You only let her take one suitcase. - You left faster with less once.
