- Come on, time for bed.
- Good night, honey.
Good night.
Théophile, tomorrow, 8 a.
m.
in my office? Very well.
CALLING POLICE IN Let's get your bottle.
- Dad, get me pancakes! - I'm busy with your brother.
- Dad! - Eat your cereal, go on.
Calm down.
- Dad? - What? Does it make you bad if you hit a baddie? EFFECTIVE VOTE Batman and Superman hit baddies and they're superheroes.
Yeah Dad? - Are you listening to me? - Yeah.
Stop! Go stuff your mouth with your own cereal.
Say, "eat your cereal", OK? Yes, Hélène? Stop.
You have a croissant too! OK.
Good morning! You know Mrs.
Beuls, the district judge.
Louis de Nantier hasn't been seen since this morning.
His son is worried.
It's not been 48 hours.
Why the worry? I'm just asking you to check.
She's the best.
The system was deactivated for a few minutes at 2:10 a.
m.
SYSTEM ARMED CALLING POLICE IN CALLING POLICE IN The best? It's a pretty sophisticated system.
So, either Louis de Nantier turned off the alarm or someone who knew the code.
Or maybe it's a hacker.
Who knows where the sensors are? I'm counting on you and your discretion.
Mr.
de Nantier.
- Ma'am.
- Goodbye.
Right, just so you know: Louis de Nantier is a very rich businessman with friends in high places.
What? Is there a difference in justice between the rich and the poor? I'm sure something happened to him.
Maybe your dad took a day off.
Him? No.
No.
He's addicted to work, he always has been.
And we had a meeting this morning to talk about the direction of the company.
Speaking of, how is the company doing? Very well.
Shouldn't you be looking for my dad? I don't like that guy.
Bye.
Hello.
Easy now! I don't want to hurt you, OK? Do you want some gum? There Did you see anything unusual last night? The demons came back.
Yeah Of course.
But did you see any cars or a pickup? A pickup? A blue wagon Yeah.
They took it.
Is that it? It took off.
Yes NATIONAL SECURITY IDENTITY CARD Anything? Street images, but a restricted view.
No sign of blue wagons or demons.
Not yesterday nor the days before that.
For fuck's sake! Will Billie be our toughest case yet? There, stop! The blue wagon? And here's the owner.
Benoît Decker.
"Violence and breaking and entering.
" Why were you driving near de Nantier's home? What? I didn't do anything.
No? Why did you run off when you saw us coming? Force of habit.
You're out on parole.
Cut the sass.
Where were you yesterday between 8 p.
m.
and midnight? I was working at my bar until 3 a.
m.
Check.
We will check that out.
What's happened to him? We're looking for him.
Do you know where he is? Ask Théophile, the perfect son.
The last time I saw them, they were arguing.
About what? Money, what else? - When was this? - Two days ago.
Why were you in the area? Louis de Nantier is my father.
Could Benoît Decker be de Nantier's biological son who wasn't acknowledged? Decker's boss confirmed his alibi: he was at the bar.
He wouldn't get rid of his cash cow.
His dad sent him a nice, little check every month.
You got de Nantier's company accounts? Just the expenses.
Company cars, gifts to suppliers, business trips Easy for some.
It's always the same amount.
It looks more like embezzlement.
But who's benefiting? You got Théophile's accounts? Just the entries.
The figures match up but it's not from his dad's company.
He uses a third account to hide it from his dad.
De Nantier must've suspected his son had his hand in the till.
You got Théophile's expenses? - He played the stock market.
- Yeah, but without his father's talent.
Had your father realized that you were stealing money from him? Did he threaten to fire you? Or worse, cut you out of the will? So, you're not looking for my dad? I wonder what the Minister will think of this.
And I what he will think of your accounts.
Isn't the Minister a stockholder at your father's company? Let's go.
Your brother, Benoît Decker, heard you arguing.
Benoît? He's the one who should be here.
He was the one in jail.
But he wasn't stealing from his father.
- Bob, he was going to crack! - I don't think so Thanks to his connections and money, Louis de Nantier has escaped justice.
Today, he will be judged.
You will have to vote.
Innocent or guilty using the buttons "live" or "die" on the video.
DIE - LIVE Verdict in three days.
If you think he's innocent, we'll let him go.
If you think he's guilty we'll kill him.
CURRENT VIEWS The media is going to be all over this.
Especially social media.
We must take that video down.
Too late.
- Has it already been shared? - Thousands of times! Find out what you can from the video.
- Who posted it, when, where.
- We've done that.
It's impossible to locate it.
The server has been all over.
- Any clues in the video? - Whichever way you look at it, no clues.
Voices and sounds have been distorted.
We have a program that can undo that, but there's no voice to compare it to.
And it begins.
Yes? Your Honor.
Bankruptcies, relocations, redundancies, ruined rivals.
This Louis de Nantier is a real shark.
Get me a list of lawsuits filed against him.
There are around 100.
Hold on! That one there, his face looks familiar.
Jean-François Pereman? He was his associate from 1989 to 2008 at a factory in Bastogne.
Until de Nantier accused him of fraud.
Could you open the photo in that photo program of yours? Could you add some wrinkles? A beard.
Long hair.
Yeah.
Hi, Jean-François.
How are you? Do you know Louis de Nantier? Why do you live so close to him? He ruined your life.
No, no! I have gum! Here.
So, this Louis de Nantier God put me on the path of redemption.
But Louis is the Devil.
Why? Because all the souls The poison killed all the souls.
Come.
Not to the hospital.
No, you're going to have a warm bed tonight.
Hello? Speaking.
- Robin got into a fight.
- A fight? - With who? - Could you come pick him up? I'm on my way.
Goddammit! I didn't sign you up to judo for you to hit your friends! - He's not my friend! - A three-day suspension is bad.
What will I do with you? I'm working and Tom isn't free! Just leave me here.
I don't care.
Come on.
- Hello.
- Hello! Is this 33 Avenue Molière? Yes.
Do you know an Alex Ybert? No.
Are there other apartments here? No, this is a house.
I've lived here since I was a kid.
I think you must be mistaken.
OK.
- Sorry.
- No worries.
Thanks.
- Have a good evening.
- Bye! Who was that? I don't know.
K4oS? I said I don't know! Sending a man to his death with the click of a button.
Long live the Internet and the cowardice of anonymity.
Go over there! Sit down here and do your homework in silence.
What did he do? - He got into a fight.
- Maybe he was defending himself.
Violence is never the answer.
We're accusing Louis de Nantier of forgery and uttering, influence peddling, bribery and, finally, manslaughter.
Louis de Nantier built his fortune by cheating, exploiting others, lying, and killing! De Nantier's company was supposed to safely recycle e-waste, but they landfilled it.
Components such as cadmium, beryllium and mercury got into the groundwater around the factories quadrupling the risk of cancer for the locals.
Your turn.
I have absolutely nothing to be ashamed about.
What am I supposed to be guilty of? Being rich? I came from nothing.
I fought to be where I am.
I fought to create jobs.
I've invested a lot in research, not to mention all the donations I've made to charities.
I order you to let me go! CURRENT VIEWS Two days left.
What will happen if he's found guilty? It won't happen.
Everything is in place to find him as soon as possible and he'll go home safe and sound.
His kidnappers will be brought to justice and severely punished.
It's worth noting that the stocks in de Nantier's group have fallen by 11%.
Billie.
Show me the stock market fluctuations for the de Nantier group.
- What for? - To see who lost money with de Nantier.
Real-time stock prices.
Who has them? Lots of folk.
A group of stockholders sold their stocks right before de Nantier was kidnapped.
To buy rival stocks.
They made a killing.
The group is chaired by a Michel van Deck, an oncologist.
They pressed charges against de Nantier in 2008.
They blamed him for the cancer in the region.
There was no trial.
What is your link to Louis de Nantier? Excuse me, but Do I need a lawyer? Do you think you need a lawyer? We shouldn't forget.
What? Forget what? All the souls we killed.
Killed! We poisoned them.
Who? The pollution, Bastogne I started a lobby against these factories eight years ago.
- Why? - That's for you to say.
We poisoned their soil.
The toxic waste.
We knew it, but we carried on.
Why did you carry on? For the money.
So, why buy stocks from de Nantier's group? To make sure we had a voice by being on the board of directors.
But you sold everything just before his kidnapping.
What? I didn't know we'd sold everything! You're the one who did it from your IP address.
VAN DECK'S CONTACTS Why was there no trial? Because Louis made a donation for soil remediation! 54 million! The case went out the window.
But people were still dying.
I don't get it.
We're going to need a list of everyone from your pressure group.
How many of you are there? Before.
Now there are only 243 of us.
There's a virus.
Automatic software triggered the sale.
If we cross-reference the plaintiffs, cancer patients and stockholders, we get over 100 names.
- All angry with de Nantier.
- Understandably so.
OK, let's go back to the beginning.
Do you have the first videos? We're accusing Louis de Nantier of forgery and uttering, influence peddling, bribery and finally, manslaughter.
Louis de Nantier built his fortune by cheating, exploiting others Stop.
lying These photos They're private photos.
Where from? Not from the Internet.
Definitely not.
They must come from his computer.
Shit, there's nothing! Billie! Shit.
- What is it? - A second router.
VERIFICATION REQUIRED That's strange.
I need to check the log files.
The second router started working at the exact time of the kidnapping.
What did it do? It looks like it copied all of de Nantier's files.
- Why is it empty then? - That's the million-dollar question.
Dad? I finished my homework.
Can I go play? No! Sit back down.
Wait.
Read this.
- What is it? - The civil code.
To teach you what happens when you hit people.
I got it! The spy router copied all of the files via Wi-Fi.
And were directly transferred to the abductors.
Once the transfer was done, a virus deleted everything.
It's probably the same virus that deactivated the alarm.
And you still don't know how.
- You don't think it could be - No! That would be huge! - Who else? - Who else what? - White Ghost.
- One of Belgium's top white hats.
He's the one who found out that the NSA was spying on BelTel.
Where do we find him? That's the problem.
Whoa We're gonna have to cut down that list.
Let's start by selecting everyone who works in IT.
- Dad! - Can't you work it out amongst yourselves? It's him, he was looking for trouble! - No, you were! - Stop! - Dad, he's hitting me! - What's wrong with you? - You never punish the right people! - Sit down and stay still! Robin, sit down.
It's not fair.
And pipe down.
If mom were here she would've been on my side.
Mom's gone! I'm in charge now! Sorry, I didn't mean that.
You're mean.
I miss her too, you know.
We have to support each other.
- Can I have a hug? - Yeah.
Come.
All good? Here are all the potential White Ghosts.
What should we do now? How long has he been around? Just over 25 years.
OK.
Get rid of anyone under 50.
More like 40.
I started when I was 13.
Ten years ago, locals living in a town near Bastogne realized that lung cancer in the region was 200% above the average.
Even worse amongst children.
There was a class action against Louis de Nantier and his associate Jean-François Pereman.
They were dismissed by the judge on the grounds of insufficient evidence and the site was deemed to pose no public health risk.
I made a donation of several million euros! Which went to the region, not to the victims! CURRENT VIEWS It must be a man.
What's with the dumb sexism? There weren't many female hackers back then.
Oh, yeah? Ada Lovelace, Grace Murray Hopper Radia Perlman.
All women! This isn't helping.
The geolocation! If you don't want to be found, you remove anything that can trace you.
Not bad.
Won't voting condone the behavior of these criminals? It certainly will.
However, I would urge people to vote not guilty so that Mr.
de Nantier be released back to his family as soon as possible.
Does that mean there will be a trial? It's not for his abductors to decide.
There are more pressing matters.
That leaves us with Thierry Vermiest, Olivier Dulac and Elsa Ringer.
I vote for Elsa! This isn't a game.
Nassim! When did White Ghost disappear? Three years ago.
- Maybe he got sick.
- Or one of his loved ones did.
Thierry Vermiest.
His wife died of cancer three years ago.
Let's keep going.
Do you think that Louis de Nantier's life is in danger? When dealing with criminals, one can only fear the consequences.
But You were in charge of the pollution case in Bastogne.
Why was there no trial? That's not the issue.
The life of a man is in danger.
We're talking about the lives of hundreds.
Do they matter less? You're twisting my words! What I mean is that right now, the priority is to find Mr.
de Nantier.
We may have the name of an accomplice.
Thierry Vermiest, a hacker.
His wife died of cancer.
- Where is he? - We're looking for him.
You have free rein.
Go through everything: calls, accounts, emails, bills.
- Go on.
- Isn't that a little intrusive? It's never bothered you before.
I don't tend to sacrifice a good guy for a bad guy.
Yes? I have something! There are a lot of incomes coming from many companies, but particularly insurance payouts for chemo in Bastogne in 2015.
Got an address? He moved to Saint-Josse.
Where's Louis de Nantier? We know what he did.
He will be put on trial.
No, not in a court, in any case.
- Meaning? - It doesn't look good.
We can cut a deal.
Generalized cancer.
- We can't leave you to it.
- I'm going to die.
My only consolation is knowing that Louis de Nantier will die too.
It's a travesty of justice! Do you think we still live in a democracy? AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED Shit! We're fucked! Where is he? Where the fuck is he? Hi, sweetheart! What are you doing? I'm looking after Tito.
- What's wrong with him? - He has cancer.
Don't worry, I'll cure him.
- She died six months ago.
- I'm sorry to hear that.
I have a granddaughter myself.
Your factories did that! Your associate warned you about the consequences of discharging waste! He was willing to stop everything! Those kinds of decisions are made by stockholders, not just by me nor my associate.
It was you! We have the documents to prove it.
You have two hours left to vote.
Billie.
Zoom in on the weapon.
That looks like a Glock.
- A cop gun? - Bob, can you check that? Yeah.
The little girl, maybe we can identify her.
Send her photo to hospitals in Bastogne.
The girl, did she die of cancer like mom? Yes.
Will you arrest the guy who did it? And send him to prison? Grown-up stuff is trickier than that.
Sam.
We only have two hours.
What have you got? Here's the list of cancer patients in Bastogne.
Look for a girl between eight and ten.
She died recently, so the ones who stopped treatment.
It's her.
Agathe Dubois.
- Her mom is a cop.
You got an address? - No, not yet.
We can hear the mom's voice in the video with the little girl, right? If she kidnapped Louis de Nantier, we could compare it to the voice in the video.
We can clean up the sound.
Your associate warned you about the Does it work? Is it the mom? We'll analyze all the videos.
There must be other clues.
I have a number for the mother.
Her name's Clothilde Dubois.
I'm getting info on her location from her GSM.
Cross-reference them with the plaintiffs.
Right That gives us five options.
No, that's a bus stop and that's a plaza.
We've got three options left.
not just by me nor my associate.
Wait! Does that sound familiar to you? I help fight cancer Sounds like the Orcs in fantasy fiction.
A boat? What? We went on a boat on a field trip.
It made the same noise.
Are you sure? Play it again.
not just by me nor my associate.
It was you.
He's right, it's a boat.
And that? A truck? through several associations There, near the canal! There are hangars.
Nassim, send that to the tactical unit.
The trial ends in ten minutes.
Is this even the right place? I don't wanna die for someone like him! Can't we wait for backup? Shut up! Stop! Don't be stupid! Stop! Police, drop your weapons! Sit down! Sit! Hands behind your back! Don't move.
- You OK? - Yeah! The gun! - Stop! - Stop.
Drop your weapon! Clothilde Stay where you are! You lost your daughter.
I have three kids, I don't know what I'd do if I lost one.
But killing a man would go against everything I taught them.
Why do men like him always get away with it? I promise he will pay for what he did.
Then what? Remember why you chose this job.
Justice.
Exactly! Thank you.
They were dangerous nutcases.
Are you OK? No.
I could've shot her in the leg.
You did what you had to do.
She wasn't the one I should've shot.
It should've been him.
De Nantier won't get away with it.
Maybe someone can send his company papers to journalists? Oh, God, Robin Hold on, son.
Let's put your coat on.
Are you OK? Why is grown-up life difficult? It's hard for kids too, right? I was standing up for Boris.
Arthur had stolen his snack.
Did you speak to someone? So, you played the superhero? Don't do it again, OK? UNKNOWN: STOP LOOKING FOR ME.
YOU'LL GET YOURSELF INTO TROUBLE.
