Original subtitles

Today I am no longer invisible and I have a responsibility

to bring those who have been forgotten back into the light.

Finally they're going to see what needs to be seen, mother.

Out of the shadows and into the light. I see who you don't see.

I should have believed you. You have seen the perpetrator in person.

Hopefully the doctor has a pill for you. You will lead the investigation.

They found another one.

You have the virus now, yes. But how far are you?

I'm working on a promising experiment.

I don't have time for your promising experiments.

"You want to die and I want to live." That's what he said.

Did he say anything else? -Am I right? Is there something wrong with him?

If he's here again, I want you to call me right away. Okay?

Have you been to the lab? -I would never do that.

Good evening. -What the fuck?

Sit down, Vic.

Wait, Julie.

I facilitate the free movement of goods and people.

You want information. I don't need your money.

That is the first time. Don't you go to the whores anymore?

My income has dried up. Sorry.

Daddy. -Go away. Go home.

Hello.

Please... Oh God.

Please. I do not wanna die.

When will Dr. Vrancken be present?

Or else give me his number and I'll call him myself.

Sorry, I'm getting another call. Moment.

With Isabelle.

Yes, Fran's mother.

What?

Raf?

Fran?

Excuse me. Inspector Delacroix. If I may ask: Do you know this woman?

Miss?

Of course we know her, honey. That's Martha.

My wife is always nervous when she sees the police.

She's from Russia and the police there are a bit different than...

Do not say that. I'm not afraid of the police.

Yes, I know her.

Martha came here every week to get her package.

Who found her? -You assume she died?

I know she had problems with her heart.

And why else would they tell you at the OCMW

that she had a referral for the food bank?

That kind of information normally falls under privacy legislation, right?

Martha passed away, darling.

Can you tell me more about her?

Yes. A woman alone, with difficulty walking

and abandoned by her family and friends.

By society and the entire system. As there are more these days.

Fortunately, there are organizations like this. -She always wanted soft fruit.

Not apples, not pears...

Her teeth.

If anything else comes to mind... -Certainly.

Thank you.

Are you OK?

Oh, honey.

I'm sure she's in a much better place now.

Hello?

Hello?

Sorry, Isabelle.

Raf? -I didn't want you to go to Crevits...

or anyone else would go.

Raf?

It... You're not doing well.

Come on, untie me and we'll go to the hospital.

They can't help me there.

Die Vrancken doesn't take it seriously. We're going to another doctor.

Have you seen Vrancken?

He said... Mental problems.

He's trying to protect me.

For what? Then tell me what's wrong.

We used to tell each other everything.

Talk to me.

Untie me and talk to me.

Raf?

Shh.

And this one?

In the Opex? What can you get there?

What do you think of this?

That's down the street from the one with the brooch and his vigilante.

Do you want us to get caught?

You have to get out of town. There is no neighborhood watch there.

Let's go.

Julie...

Kick it off, rat.

Where's Fran?

She's not at school.

She's been here... -You're going against all agreements

been to our house. You turned that girl's head...

She's not here. -And now you're here

and tell a story about... About what?

Living dead, cannibalism? You sleep in the freezer.

But you can see it for yourself, right? -Do you realize how fucking crazy that is?

Okay... -Where's Fran?

Feel my pulse. -Raf, I swear...

Feel.

What do you feel?

Isabelle, what are you feeling?

Voila.

Fran isn't here.

Let me go, Raf. -Isabelle...

I want to get out of here. Please...

Help. Help, down here.

Help. Down here. Help.

Help. -Styxie.

And who is that chick downstairs shouting like that?

What kind of kinky setup is that, Styx? Could I join?

Before you start shooting again. -What do you want?

That someone with so many capabilities lives in such a rat hole.

If you hurt her...

You should see yourself sometime, Styx. You should take better care of your body.

We both know what you have to do for that.

So downstairs isn't about...

Isn't it a nice piece perhaps? Or is she skin and bones?

Gino, what do you want?

Not a hair has changed yet. Okay.

Tomorrow the Mauritania arrives... -All cargo is checked.

Not this one, Styx.

Even if I wanted to, I don't have the power to...

And that's the point where Styx starts using his creativity.

If the Mauritania's containers are checked

tomorrow, and my cargo doesn't arrive...

I think I'm going to eat a nice piece of lamb.

By the way, if you want to know where I am...

Marijke Debolle will no longer be able to help you.

How do they say that again? The poor woman.

And clean yourself up. We are not animals.

Commissioner, is it the same perpetrator?

The investigation is ongoing, but initial information shows that

the perpetrator acted in the same way as with the first victim.

Is there a serial killer in Ostend?

That's pure speculation. You could also let me finish. Thank you. Yes?

Can you guarantee the safety of the population?

At the moment we have greatly increased patrols, but I

would like to point out that there is no need to panic.

Despite the commissioner's words, there is great concern in Ostend.

The shopping streets look deserted. The people are afraid, the city is emptying.

Just like last time, images of the victim emerge again.

This time they were sent to our editors.

It seems more than likely to us that they were made by the murderer himself.

With us in the studio is Professor Didier Bauden.

Psychiatrist specialized in criminal pathology.

Professor, why does the perpetrator want us to see this?

I think it is very possible that the

perpetrator gives us a profile with this

of the type of victim he chooses.

Lonelies, without family, without friends.

Forgotten by everything and everyone.

Would the perpetrator want to send us a message with this?

It seems to me that we are dealing with a very seriously disturbed individual.

A sick mind. A psychopath?

In any case, someone who targets the weakest in society.

And the fear, of course, is that it won't end here.

Indeed. The fear of an out-of-control serial killer...

They don't see it, mother.

Of course they don't see it.

They only see a sick mind, a psychopath.

They see me, but they don't see my work. They don't see the message.

I should have thought somewhere. It's easier to

shout 'psychopath', close your eyes and keep walking.

That is the fate of the artist, not to be seen in his own time.

And then I think:

What if my still lifes were no longer silent? Wouldn't be silent any longer?

What if they moved and talked, what then?

If they were to literally bite the world's indifference to pieces, then what?

The people no one sees would no longer be ignored.

that I know for sure.

I'm so close, mother.

Why haven't you woken up yet?

Normally they would not have opened the coffin again, but

the family wanted a rosary to be added at the last minute.

The list of crematorium employees is interesting. Look.

Roland Degreef.

Taken during our surveillance.

Raf... Untie me, please.

They kidnapped Fran.

A gang of smugglers who want me to help them with port controls.

Why you?

Because I've done that before.

Why on earth?

For Rose.

I gave money to Amanda to take care of her.

Do you know what that costs, a girl like that in a cart?

Jesus...

You should have seen those settings where she used to sit.

I had to do something. She is my responsibility.

You could have talked to me. We could have arranged something.

She is my responsibility. -Fran is your responsibility.

Untie me. We'll call Crevits... -No.

I know who has her. If that guy sees that the police know about it...

We have to do something, right? -Isabelle, that guy who stole her...

he's just like me.

But I can't handle him.

And certainly not in this condition.

What you told me about this regeneration...

No.

If you give in to that hunger you feel, if it makes you stronger...

Are you going to choose the victim? Do you want that on your conscience?

I don't have to choose.

Loosen that chain.

No. -Take me.

Isabelle... -If that's what it takes

to bring Fran back. She is not your sole responsibility.

Do you realize what you are asking?

Loosen that chain. -No.

Loosen that chain.

I'll take her back. I promise.

No. Raf.

No.

Hey. -Tired of that guy yet?

He wants to show his apartment. He asks if you are coming with him.

No thanks.

Certainly? -Yes.

Thank you.

Cindy.

Styx?

Few people today? -Yes, everyone is afraid.

Sorry about last time. -It was nothing, I was angry too.

I'm looking for Gino. Have you heard from him yet?

No.

I haven't taken anything since the last time. -He has my daughter.

If you hear or find out anything else... -I'll call you.

Will you give Roosje a big hug? -Styx, really...

Yes.

Raf...

Are you going to be careful?

Hey.

Look.

Hey.

What's he doing? -He's standing still.

He gets out. -Follow him.

But boss, I can't do that... -Roland, follow him.

Goddamnit.

Where is my daughter? Where is he holding her?

Where is my daughter?

Stand still or I'll put a bullet in your head.

Roland Degreef, hands in the air.

Styx?

Your girlfriend isn't really into it, is she?

She prefers to watch. -They come in all shapes and sizes, right?

Honey, but something like that... You have to earn that.

Just hold on.

Cindy, we're out.

Take it easy, let's see what else is out there.

Cindy, that guy is a creep.

No one forced you to come.

Take that pimple head out of your head and enjoy it for once. You only live once.

I hope you're good at tying knots.

Cindy, come.

No Roland Degreef? -Nowhere to be seen.

The trace on his mobile phone indicates that he is still in the area.

Or he knows we're tracking him. Then he threw away his cell phone.

I'll have the area combed.

Weird that we haven't seen you yet today.

Or haven't you heard the news yet?

That bastard with his Ensor mask... We found a second victim.

An old lady this time.

Do you need a doctor?

No, I'm fine.

Isabelle is worried.

You no longer go outside without sunglasses. You have to throw up.

I ate a bad mussel.

Leave her alone. You are no longer her concern.

What were you even doing here? -I spotted that guy.

Spotted? Just a coincidence? -Coincidentally, yes.

I thought: I'll follow him, but he noticed me.

You should have dialed it in.

Then you would have known that we had a trace on his cell phone.

We have evidence linking him to human trafficking and that cannibal.

Cindy?

Cindy.

Cindy, open the door. Cindy.

I earned it, he said. Come.

Boss.

Styx?

But it's okay, I'll be able to help you better now. I'm like you.

Almost, Roland. Almost.

This is Isabelle's voicemail. Please leave a message or call me back later.

I'm at your door, but you're not there, so...

Call me back. Okay.

What is going on?

Nothing.

But you cry.

It's just... I miss you and Dad. I miss home.

Oh, baby...

What would you say if I came back home? Together with Mia?

Did something serious happen between you and Stijn?

Honey, Dad and I have had enough fights.

That doesn't mean I went straight to my mother.

I don't argue with anyone. I just want to be home with you.

Don't you miss us? -Of course we miss you.

Really bad. But we are so happy that you have built a good life there.

That has always been our dream for you and Mia.

But...

You have a future there. There's nothing here, Katya.

You don't throw that away because you're homesick, do you?

I lied to you. I've been to the lab.

I saw Arek.

I want to help.

To help?

I know you are a good person. You're doing a good job.

Your research is important, right? -Yes, it's important.

It can eliminate the indifference.

Then I want to help.

That one over there.

Sir? Sir.

Someone in one of the apartments had spotted him with binoculars.

He hadn't moved in half an hour.

112 receives one report after another.

In every dark corner they see a murderer.

People get upset.

Thanks.

Julie...

Haven't you understood it yet, pimple face?

We don't like rats.

The owners are not at home. And no one lives nearby.

I know what I can do to stop the control of the Mauritania.

And then they let Fran go? -I'll take her back. Promise.

Go home and wait there for news. Now we can't do anything.

You'll have Fran back tonight. -Do you have anyone...

One of Fran's kidnappers.

I estimate I have about a day. Then the hunger returns.

And then you lose control again.

Sorry, Isabelle.

You were right.

I should have talked to you, I shouldn't have left you out.

And Delacroix... He's right too.

I'm not your concern anymore. It should never have been me either.

I have never been able to process what happened. It destroyed us.

What's stopping me from going straight to Joachim and Crevits?

I trust you.

Bring her back.

Hey, Shelley.

I have failed.

I thought he would be reborn.

But it has already gone on too long.

I must have made a mistake.

But that is part of life, part of science, part of art.

I know that.

But luckily I have you, my dear Katya.

You have no idea what was going through

my mind when I thought you lied to me.

Can you forgive me? Forgive me.

What do you want me to do?

Thank you.

Still life 6.

It's number 1 you have to find.

Isn't that what they always say about a serial killer?

He still makes mistakes with his first one.

This one was just as beautiful as number 5.

I can't wait to see the other four.

You assume 6 is the last?

There could be more.

Do you want...

another moment alone?

I can make sure no one comes in.

You do not have to be scared. I am very discreet.

Your last meal was accidentally cremated this morning.

No one needs to know what you did.

What, are you going to bite me too?

Styx...

You realize I'll never find a more loyal lieutenant, you son of a bitch.

Where's Fran?

My package will arrive tonight.

You just make sure there are no police for miles around, otherwise...

I'm going to do what I can, but leave Fran alone.

Fuck.

Are there others like you?

I compared the bite marks.

The ones on that boy don't match the ones on the previous one...

Life is unfair, after all.

Styx has a daughter with arms and legs that work and you...

But you don't have to be afraid.

I'm going to make sure Roosje doesn't lack anything.

Pinky promise.

And Fran? -Don't get sentimental now.

Give her to me.

A daughter for a daughter?

An eye for an eye. You're right. That's fair.

If you do your best, you can have her.

All units: the Mauritania will have to wait.

Roland Degreef's mobile phone is active again.

Chief, can't you round up a few extra people?

What kind of extra people?

Either they go on patrol or they sit at home with a mountain of overtime.

Degreef goes first. I don't feel like letting it escape again.

What are you going to do?

You can explain it to Crevits. -They'll find Degreef without us.

Dude, that's ridiculous. The two of us are busy for two weeks.

Come on, we don't have all night.

Hurry up. Come on, get out.

Come on, guys.

Where is she? -Calm down, man.

Where is my daughter?

First deliver our cargo.

Are we calm?

Ostend Police, Ostend Police.

Hands visible, ma'am. You may get out.

Could you maybe tell me what's happening?

What is this here? Have I done something wrong?

Chief...

Shit.

Okay, do it then.

Go.

Come on, guys. Over here.

Come on, faster, come on. Pace, come.

Are you crazy? Come.

Fuck.

Vic?

Jesus Christ.

Hey, Gino. Where's Fran?

I did what you asked.
