Previously on Betrayal

What's wrong? Something's wrong.

What are you doing with my credit card? - Who cares?

Can you nick my credit card? No.

The Magnesium. Built by Couwenberg.

He's been kidnapped.

Daddy says he's helping with the money.

Couwenberg is paying the ransom. - So Willem will owe him.

How can he repay him? - By not testifying against him.

If we detect any police, GPS trackers or any other transmitters...

...immediate death will follow.

Everything went well. They have the money.

They said they'd release him within 48 hours.

If they have bad intentions, I've given them a very good argument.

BETRAYAL

ALL CON MEN

Don't be scared.

I can't sleep. - Oh, sweetie.

Can I sleep here? - Sure.

Is he really coming back tomorrow?

I don't know, sweetheart. Maybe.

I hope so.

Do you really hope so or are you just saying that?

I really hope so.

And then? - And then what?

Where is he going to live?

And how long are you staying...

...out of jail?

Try to sleep. We'll talk about it tomorrow.

Have you thought about it? - No, not at all.

I slept like a log. Dreamt about Scarlett Johansson.

You know... - Of course I do.

You've told me, so now I'm also...

And? So?

It could come from the other side any moment. What will you say then?

You know they're going to use it.

He might be dead. - I've already called.

Something's wrong. We have to go to the station.

The transaction went well, didn't it? - Yes.

Are you sick? You've got bags under your eyes.

I feel fine.

What's going on at the station?

Good morning.

Well?

I had a look at the building site.

It looks fine.

They're asking for some sketches. - That's good news.

We can start on those then. - Good idea.

Everything okay apart from one thing.

Have we got an architect in mind?

No news?

What's so important?

I've done something that wasn't very clever.

A photo????

There are of course other good architects.

Or a few, I don't know.

Let me check the list.

They were flashing away. Bastards.

Look. - Damn it.

What's wrong? - I can't see any good ones here.

Let's keep looking.

Boat is gone. Nothing to see. Guys unrecognizable.

Can't have found anything.

Instructions were clear. They screwed us over.

So despite all the instructions, agreements, promises...

...you just go and...

Are you sure they saw it?

No.

The flash on this phone, what's it like? - You can see it in the dark.

How far away were you?

Twenty, thirty metres.

Two options:

Steenhouwer is already dead.

Or they take the two million and come back with more demands.

FOP even more money.

We need to discuss this.

Could you give us a minute?

Is there any news about Willem? - Nothing yet.

It's maddening.

Yes? - It's me.

We were going to discuss something. - Why?

Here, around one? - But I'm...

That would be great. See you then.

Follow me.

We've discussed it.

We regard this as reckless behaviour...

...insubordination and neglect of your duty as a police officer.

You've put someone's life at risk and jeopardized an operation.

You're suspended until further notice.

Pending the disciplinary investigation we will decide if you're to be dismissed.

The kidnappers made it clear they'll kill Steenhouwer...

...if we don't keep our end of the deal.

If they do, you will have blood on your hands.

Then we might have to take legal action.

That's all.

Suspended.

Dad, Raimy didn't have anything to do for me.

So I thought I'd...

...play a video game.

No, it's still in my room.

And the family? - What?

About the mistake. - We won't say anything yet.

It's bad enough as it is.

What do you think? Do you think they'll really kill him?

Somehow I wouldn't be surprised.

You're picking him up today, right? - Of course.

At least the babysitter will.

That's what we agreed, right?

I'm sorry, have you heard anything yet?

Do you know anything? - No, they said 48 hours.

I know.

Sorry to bother you. - That's okay. I understand.

There's no guarantee, is there?

What do you mean? - That they'll keep their promise.

No. - What do you think?

What do the police think? - We'll have to wait.

That's all we can do.

It could happen quickly or take a while.

We don't know.

Can I do anything for you? - No, thanks.

Bye.

Oh, Jesus.

Do you know what time it is?

Dad? - No news.

The first day of the rest of your life. You've finished school.

What's up? - Nothing.

Tell me.

I keep thinking.

About that moment.

What moment? - All those sleeping pills.

What went through your mind?

What's going to happen to Mike? - He's going home for a few days.

We'll await the investigation. Van Leyden, any news?

We can't manage without Mike. - I asked you about Van Leyden.

We found footage from a few days before Steenhouwer disappeared.

That's one of the members of the gang.

Did he threaten him in person?

I don't know, but I can check. - Do.

How long will Mike be suspended?

It depends.

What were you thinking about? Us?

Of course.

Mostly about you.

But also that I had another two years to go.

About home. You guys. How things used to be.

What you were like when you were small, and cute.

And what we did together. All the holidays.

The restaurant.

Running my own business.

And how bright you were.

And your dad.

The kindest, most handsome man in the world.

How nothing would ever change, why would it?

Until we went to a photo exhibition one day.

I heard a song on the radio once called:

I don't see the point in me. That's how it was.

I didn't see any point in me anymore.

And now? Do you see the point in yourself again?

I think I've failed.

Actually, I'm sure.

Don't talk to him. - I wasn't.

Then he tells me what he writes about. Interviews, articles.

Aren't you happy?

Dad?

Me, happy?

That I have a job.

It's not fulltime, but still... - Yes son, I'm happy about that.

Very happy-

I'll see you later.

Mr Couwenberg, he's on the phone. Please sit down.

Why? - As I said, he's...

Something just came up, can I call you back?

It's okay, Esther. Some coffee, please.

Good to see you, Huub.

I wanted to talk to you. I'm becoming more worried every day.

Apart from... - Do you think I've nothing better to do...

...than have an audience with you?

I can come to your place, but that's probably not a good idea.

When you wanted to build a nice building you were only too happy...

I'm fed up with you and your lawyer...

...who was so sure about that damn judge.

Let's keep our calm.

Is there any news? - No, no news.

But there's a good chance he'll come back.

It's not surprising I want to discuss what we'll do then.

May I remind you that I'm in the dock, not you?

And why is that? It's your own fault, you idiot.

That's how this all started.

But you're paying ransom money to get him back.

I say let him stay there.

So now you're the expert? You bloody activist.

In front of other people you were full of understanding.

For the grandchildren, the family.

Politician.

I don't appreciate your tone of voice.

Just shut up and wait for me to take care of it as usual.

You think you have any power? Your power fits into a matchbox, jerk.

You should try to be an entrepreneur for a day.

What's this? - This goes for you too:

Keep your mouths shut and wait.

I'm not coming back. If you bother me again, I'll take other measures.

Why haven't we heard anything?

Shall I try calling again? - I already did.

All they say is that it could take a while.

Nothing yet?

They said 48 hours.

Around 30 to go.

I keep thinking:

Why would they let him go?

Killing him is much less risky.

Isn't it?

Isn't it?

What do you want to hear? That you're right?

I think you're right.

Dad?

See this?

What's that? - 420 euro came off the MasterCard.

To a company called Gaming Services.

I've been looking for it. Where is it?

How should I know?

What were you and dad arguing about before he...

He was worried about your exams and now you've failed.

It's between me and dad.

Don't be alarmed. No news yet.

We want to ask you something. - Jesus.

It's not strange that it's taking long. They probably have a lot to arrange.

Can we talk here?

It's about...

Can you remember if Willem was being threatened?

Physically threatened?

By whom? - We're working on that.

Did he tell you anything about it? - No.

Does the name Van Leyden mean anything to you?

No.

Hi, honey. - Hi, Granddad.

How are things there? - You haven't heard anything either?

Have you? - No.

It's taking so long.

All we can do is wait. It's terrible, I know.

But that's how it is.

I wanted to thank you. - What for?

For the money. - Oh, that.

That's no problem. It's only money.

Bye, sweetheart.

Marit, can I ask you something?

Do you see them?

What's the matter? - How far did he get?

Who? - Willem.

He tried to escape. How far did he get? - I'm not sure.

They saw him.

Did your gypsy friends tell you that?

What was it about?

The quarrel with dad?

Ask him. - No, I'm asking you.

Dad was nagging him about the exams. That he wasn't studying hard enough.

And rightly so, it turns out. What else?

I don't want to tell on him.

Your brother failed his exams. He's leaving school without a certificate.

Was it about a credit card?

He nicked one, I think. - And used it for online gambling.

I don't know. Anyway, it's hardly important now.

What's this, Huub? - You can read, can't you?

Barvaux.

What's up with your arm? - Nothing.

I got this via a courier. And half an hour later, this.

And this: Me: 'Who are you? He: I know everything.'

Me: What are you talking about? He: Remember what we agreed.

If he knows about Barvaux...

Here, again:

'Remember what we agreed.' What does he mean?

Is it the police? - They hardly sit around texting.

Remember what we agreed? - Who the hell is this?

And? - No news. I'm going to the station.

I have a bad feeling about this. I don't know why.

If the police didn't stick to the agreement you would do something.

Remember what we agreed.

Who is this?

Why don't you go home?

There's no one there. - Your son.

He's at his dad's.

What was the police doing here?

Have you got a girlfriend?

Not at the moment.

When you did, what sort of things did you tell her?

I don't know, regular stuff.

If you were being threatened, would you tell her?

Yes, I think so. How do you mean?

Was Willem being threatened?

That's the thing. I don't know. I don't know anything.

I was a sort of pot plant. Or a pet.

I was fed and loved. No complaints there.

But apart from that, I obviously didn't matter.

We don't have much time.

Those Serbs are breathing down my neck.

They're starting to rebel.

They were hired for a week's job. Now it's dragging on and on.

They're being asked to do other stuff.

They can't show their mugs in Holland anymore. What a hassle.

I've had to promise them more money. - Oh, great.

I hardly knew Mette. Elsie was already on the way.

Eighteen months later, Bj6rn.

Mette fell ill even before he arrived.

Within a year, she was gone.

There I was, on my own.

With the two little ones.

But we managed, the three of us.

Less than 20 years later Elsie had two of her own.

At the same time, even.

With Bj6rn and Elsie it was a struggle to survive.

And they were so headstrong, too.

But with Marco and Mar“...

That was pure fun. All gain and no pain.

Sweet and bright, both of them.

This whole damn mess we're in started with those kids needing their dad.

At least as long as Elsie's in jail.

I need to think, stall. I'll send something back.

Stall? We need to get out of there.

Take care of it. And come to the office after dark.

And keep that Balkan bunch in check.

This is the second time.

I don't believe you. - It's true.

First with Elsie, 20 years ago, and now with you.

You've only been in love twice?

Really?

You told me about an air hostess once.

On a plane. - That's not love, that's lust.

Is that different? - Yes, it is.

What about me? Aren't you in love with me?

Yes, I am.

That's not possible. You have to choose.

But you're the same. - Nothing is the same.

Everything has changed.

I don't understand.

Do you love me? - I do, so much.

Or am I an air hostess?

But you still love me too, don't you?

Yes, but I'm not in love with you anymore.

That's how it goes.

Is that how it goes?

Will do.

He was to be released within 48 hours, but there's still no sign of him.

This is the location. Loosdrecht.

A few people saw the Renault, but no one saw a face.

The model and year of manufacture match the car of an innocent man...

...whose licence plate they copied.

Stolen in a nearby marina. A quick, expensive thing.

No sign of it. They probably sunk it.

The telephone photo taken by Mike hasn't led to anything.

And as the Prosecution won't let us do anything...

...we don't have any control over the ransom.

We are getting more and more clues pointing to Mr Van Leyden.

It's all very strange, but...

We know he threatened Steenhouwer physically as well as via email.

Van Leyden resents Steenhouwer, and he could use the money.

The question is whether he can use marked ransom money...

...but we won't exclude that possibility.

It's probably not that hard for a guy like him to launder a few million euros.

What was your impression of him? - He seems smart.

What shall we do? - It's too little to arrest him with.

Just increase the pressure.

Taps on Royackers and Couwenberg haven't led to anything concrete.

Whether or not Couwenberg actually paid we don't know.

Particularly if Steenhouwer doesn't show up.

But as we established before, that seems very roundabout.

I agree. Not just roundabout, but extremely risky.

I can't think why he'd do that.

Meanwhile, we have less than 28 hours left.

What's wrong? - What do you mean?

Your arm. - I just twisted it.

I'll cook tonight.

Really? - All by myself, I mean.

I can always ring Elsie if I get stuck.

So I don't need to help? - I'm really trying, Dad.

To do more myself. I am.

How about sauerkraut?

Is that okay?

I'll go shopping then. - Okay, son.

This is sauerkraut with sausage.

You can put this sauce on the sauerkraut.

That's a shame, it's very nice.

News? - Three men in my life.

A father, a husband, and my son.

And they're all deceivers.

Now I know why you failed.

Have you had too much wine? - Shut up.

Any idea what you're going to do without a certificate?

I wanted to.. - Be a professional gambler?

I don't know if there's a future in it.

Haven't you got other things to worry about?

I hope for your sake that your dad comes back in one piece.

Sure, walk away.

Another family trait.

Hi, Joachim. Have you had dinner?

I cooked. There's more than enough. - No.

Come with me.

Good isn't it, Dad? - Delicious. You go play a video game.

I find this very uncomfortable.

The police could be in that forest there now.

And sending weird text messages first? No way.

The point is that somebody knows.

They probably know everything.

Have we left that place? - Yes, but is it enough?

He sent another message.

Prove that you'll keep your word...

...and you won't hear from me again.

We're supposed to believe that?

We'll keep our word.

Are you serious?

You wipe out every trace.

And then?

This person can only want one thing, or they wouldn't do it this way.

Make sure no one sees them, for a change.

Sorry guys, it won't happen again.

I was a bit busy with certain things.

Has he been good? - Yes, we've had a great time.

Who won? - He won, as always.

I want to read myself. - Alright then.

It's okay, right?

I understand, but right now...

I'm just waiting at home.

It's Willem. It's not good.

Something bad has happened.

I live here.

I'd rather not... - We'll just go for a short walk.

Go and establish things at your station.

My daughter is mourning, my grandchildren are devastated.

Do you think I have no feelings?

You're sweet.
