Where did you get that picture?
- They found it at the chicken farm.
It was taken the day
Armande was killed.
Who's the one on the right?
The slightly older one?
I've no idea.
Send it to Jackie and Alicia.
Maybe they know her.
Harald
They called from the hospital.
Sugarsweet died this morning.
Congratulations.
She couldn't quite wait.
Are you OK?
Is she? Is it?
They're both fine.
- Yeah? OK
Is it your first child?
Yeah.
- Wonderful.
Yes, it's Daddy.
Lithuanian billionaire Marius Loukauskis
has gone into hiding
after being accused of
a particularly serious case of rape.
The victim of the rape is said to be
Maria Gabler, who was 14 at the time.
She was the daughter of
jazz singer Iris Gabler.
Loukauskis' son-in-law,
Count Carl Friedrich Septimus,
was responsible for the shooting of the
policewoman leading the investigation.
Hey! What's your name again?
David.
- David?
Let's take a break here.
Give me the iPad.
Beautiful?
- Yeah
Fucking trees.
EUROPEAN ARREST WARRANT FOR
BERLIN BILLIONAIRE MARIUS LOUKAUSKIS
UNDER-AGE DAUGHTER RAPED - SINGER
IRIS GABLER SUFFERING FROM SHOCK
Let's go!
Come on!
They should turn all this into wood
chips. There is money in wood chips.
They'd make a fortune
from this fucking forest.
Everything OK?
- Have you got any hand cleaner?
Hi, it's me. Did you get
the email address?
It has to be Jean Louis.
How the hell did he get my new email
address? Only five people have it.
Right, Loukauskis
Always so nosy.
Congratulations.
- Thank you. She is
She is long
- Well, yes, she would be.
Can we talk about work?
- Yeah. Yeah, of course.
It was a rental helicopter
from some company
offering panoramic flights
over the skyline of Berlin.
Loukauskis hired it
to fly him to Hanover.
So he'd prepared his escape route,
maybe.
Do we know if he has any properties
in countries we haven't got an
extradition treaty with, like Venezuela?
We are already checking
his electronic footprint.
Wait a second!
You called?
- Yes.
OK, I'm back.
So he must have a secret mobile
because his three phones
and two computers were confiscated
when we searched his house last night.
He has got to be able to communicate,
otherwise he is lost.
If we manage to isolate him,
he has to take action somehow.
OK. What about his ex?
- She'll get the full treatment today.
We are just waiting for the warrant,
then we move in.
Bye.
Hang them up in the wardrobe, please.
By the way
Have you told your wife about
our daughter?
No, no, I haven't No.
Good.
I need to hang up. Bye.
What do you want?
We'll talk about that later.
Why didn't you say
you'd been discharged?
The girls would have been so happy
if you'd come home last night.
Have you thought about how a little girl
feels when her mother has been shot?
Sorry
- Thank you.
I can't be at home with you.
Come on, Jackie
Jackie.
I will sleep in the office,
you can take the bedroom.
You must come home and help me
with the girls. They need you.
They are afraid, Jackie, do you
understand? Our children are afraid.
They have realized that you can die.
You are vulnerable.
You are their mother.
Alicia.
How are you?
Germany has issued a European
arrest warrant for Loukauskis.
Yeah?
- Do you support that decision?
Why?
- If so, I'd like to congratulate you.
OK. There's something
I want to talk to you about.
You've written here that you received
a 1 million euro bribe from Loukauskis.
Are we talking about blackmail?
You are a very impatient young woman.
I've been thinking
Did you see
I've recommended you for promotion?
No. And no, thank you.
No, thank you?
You don't want to be taken off the case.
OK
Heavenly Father, I know
that You love all Your children,
good and bad.
I have done many bad things
and that is why
I need Your infinite
I'm sorry.
- That's OK.
Yes?
- You were right.
It was Jean Louis
who sent you that email.
There was another file attached.
- And what's in it?
That book
he started writing about you
that he wrote back when
his girlfriend Armande died.
He wants to finish it. He's crazy.
- Let me be the judge of that.
He is asking you for a Skype interview.
- What does he want to talk about?
It's very vague.
Life, freedom
Evil responsibility
And something that's called "Nemesis".
Did you deliver Mrs Pernel's letter
to your superiors?
Well, did you?
I don't think this is the right time.
You're one tick away from becoming
an accessory to corruption.
I found her half dead, in the woods,
full of drugs, OK?
That's hardly an argument.
Is it, Alicia?
First I need to find out
if she's being blackmailed.
Don't you understand, Harald, I'm
just I'm scared she'll do it again.
She is not your mother, she's your boss.
- Just a minute.
Can I have some water?
That picture Finn Moesgaard sent us,
on the yacht with Bruno.
The older woman, next to Bruno
and Vaida, in the middle
That's Rita Orlova.
That's
That's the mother of Greta.
Are you saying Greta's mother was
on board when Armande got killed?
Yeah, it looks like it.
- Then she's a witness.
Get hold of her.
- Yeah, I'll bring her in.
Talk to you later.
- Thank you.
No.
Just go to work.
It's best that way.
Open the door, it's our mothers.
You can put the glass there.
Baby
Hello. Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Congratulations.
Can you give me some water, Mum?
Come in.
I want to show you something.
I want to interview Rita Orlova again.
And I want a search warrant.
She came to see me.
She even threatened me.
Loukauskis wants to be rid of you.
Loukauskis wants to be rid of me.
Apparently you harassed his wife
and daughter in Berlin.
Yeah, well, I didn't.
I just said hello from you.
Right.
Thank you for the information.
And my search warrant?
- That's fine.
Thank you.
Shit!
That accusation of rape is ridiculous.
My father had lots of women, the most
beautiful and the richest, but
Maria? A 14-year-old? Thin?
As flat as a pancake?
It doesn't make sense.
I don't understand
why she didn't put up a fight.
Gone ballistic, and then
everything would've settled down again.
My dad has a dream.
Growing old in the bosom of a family,
me and my mum
and then a little sister, his sister,
on a cattle ranch.
Really? Where?
So I know what to wear.
Clot Forget it.
Excuse me, I've lost my phone.
Could I borrow yours?
Yeah, sure.
- Thank you.
Excuse me.
Bianca.
Dad? I'll keep it brief, I've borrowed
a phone. We're on our way to Antwerp.
Who is we?
- Max and me.
The journalists are going crazy.
Max took the greengrocer's van.
The greengrocer's van? Really?
We arranged it with the greengrocer.
I hid in the back.
Why?
- What?
He's helping you.
What does he think he'll get for it?
I don't think
he's doing it for nothing.
Dad
I can't get hold of mum.
Have you heard from her?
No. Listen, turn around
and head for Salzburg.
What? I thought we were meeting
in Antwerp?
OK, fine. Bye, dad.
Thank you so much.
Jealous?
Yeah.
- Good.
A small change.
We're going to Salzburg.
I'll get something to drink.
Why are you calling me?
We're going to Salzburg now.
- Is Loukauskis in Austria?
No, he's hiding in the west.
The plan is to bring the whole family
together on a cattle ranch.
I don't know where, but a Loukauskis
cattle ranch sounds like South Africa.
Do you know where her mother is?
Why?
- Because she's not here.
I'll keep fishing.
I'll get back to you.
Shall we go?
Loukauskis is getting away from us.
He'll never catch a plane
out of Schengen.
He's one of Europe's most skilled
human traffickers.
He'll manage.
- Yeah, I know.
Jackie! We've found something.
- Natascha's here. I have to go. Bye.
Say hi.
I don't mess around with money
without witnesses.
How much is there?
- 150,000.
31 May 2008.
That's the date Armande was killed.
Yes.
Look, it's the same suit.
Yes.
Günther, what do you think?
It could be brain matter.
The person who shot her was wearing it.
There are bound to be
traces of DNA on it.
Günther, we agree it has been
done very professionally?
Yes, we do.
- Yeah.
That's how she could get
whatever she wanted from Loukauskis.
I've just finished it.
I didn't expect it so soon.
Did you knit it yourself?
- Crocheted.
Do you think it will fit me?
It's very nice, Else.
Thank you.
Hello. Congratulations.
- Thanks.
I'm sorry I'm late.
- What happened?
I slipped in the bath.
Are you OK?
The password to Jean Louis's computer
was a gift.
There is a pattern.
Money has been transferred to one
account from several other accounts.
Loukauskis' secret money bin.
- The amounts are huge.
It's hard to tell
where the account was opened.
Salzburg. That's where
Max and Bianca are going.
Austria enforce bank secrecy
very strictly.
With authorization from Loukauskis
and a 12-digit code,
Bianca could cash all of his assets.
Yes, it adds up.
He placed all of his operating capital
in different banks.
Let's try blocking it
to put maximum pressure on him.
But the money isn't the worst part.
Footnote to the images: children
stolen from orphanages in Ukraine
and forced to beg
on the streets of Europe.
They are threatened and beaten
to make them docile.
Is that Jean Louis?
- Jurij, Ruslana,
Violeta, Anton, Taras, Ani, Jamala
This is only the tip of the iceberg.
A note to myself as well:
I must use the recording of Loukauskis
that I made with a hidden phone.
It's the recording about the child
with a missing arm.
Listen to this.
It's Loukauskis.
The one with the missing arm
is great at doing tricks.
He can play on a whole range of
emotions, fucking little shit.
The handicapped kids
make the biggest profits.
So, if they are not handicapped,
then we fix it,
as long as they have the right
victim personality.
Off the record, of course.
How much more is there?
About an hour.
He has been all over Europe.
There are lots of photos,
audio and text.
Children and women, mostly.
Of course.
Do you want some coffee?
No thanks, I'm good.
Email to Jean Louis:
"Dear friend,
my conditions for being interviewed
are 50% of the author's proceeds for me
and my right of approval
of the entire manuscript
prior to publication"
Am I going too fast?
Mr Loukauskis, my job is to ensure
your security.
I don't understand
how you can take the risk.
He probably knows
where this computer is right now
and therefore also where you are.
I know Jean Louis.
He is a vain man.
He'd rather have a scoop interview
with me than help the cops.
He doesn't trust them.
And with good reason.
"My attorney will send you a contract
proposal as soon as possible.
Sincerely yours, etc. etc."
Here is the answer from Jean Louis:
"The most I can agree to is 25%."
OK, that is acceptable.
"And I can in no way accept that you
approve the book prior to publication."
But I get to approve the interview
before it goes to print.
"It's a deal. When do we skype?"
At 9 o'clock exactly.
Shit!
Shit. I forgot to call.
Who?
- You.
Why did you have to call me?
It's Mum.
What about her?
Alicia, how do you check
if there is a pulse?
What do you mean?
Her eyes rolled to the back of her head.
It's probably nothing.
Where are you now?
- At work.
Don't call it that.
- What did you call me about?
I have to hang up.
I'll call you back later. OK? Bye.
Right.
- What did you say?
That it's very important
we find this Rita.
We went to her home, she didn't open
the door. Doesn't answer her phone.
She was in here yesterday.
And she said she was going to
Nothing. Sorry.
I'm fed up with you
protecting that woman.
Either you tell me where she has gone
or I'll send in the taxmen.
And your boss won't like that.
I can assure you of that.
Yeah. Shit happens
If a good source is no longer
a good source, it's no use anymore.
None.
Hold on, OK. She has gone to fetch her
brother's daughter in Lithuania.
Her brother's daughter. Who's that?
- Her name is Audra.
Audra?
Yes, she said her father has
a brothel in Germany where
Hold on. Rita is Loukauskis' sister?
Yes.
Masha, the one who smokes. She's been
made to work here for the past 8 months.
She told me that around 25 women
from Lithuania and Belarus
live and work in these barracks.
Masha's meals consist of
a few hundred grams of pasta,
without sauce, of course.
With one exception, when one of them
managed to steal some Nutella.
The women are so skinny
that their periods have stopped.
They don't have breasts anymore either.
Imagine running a business
with zero payroll costs. Not bad.
Do we know the location?
No, but it's in the same file
as the children in Brussels.
Yes?
- Hi Harald, it's Alicia.
I know why Greta's mom was in
that picture on Loukauskis' yacht.
OK. Listen!
Why?
- She is Loukauskis' sister.
That means Greta is his niece.
He prostituted his own niece.
Yes. According to my source,
she's on her way to Vilnius now,
to pick up Audra from her grandparents.
Alright. We'll get in touch
with our colleagues in Vilnius.
OK, great. Bye.
- Thank you.
Hello, Audra.
Your daddy asked me to pick you up.
But in the corner,
at the cold hour of dawn,
with rosy cheeks and with a smiling
mouth, leaning against the wall,
frozen to death
on the last evening of the old year.
The new year's sun rose upon
a pathetic little figure.
The child sat there, stiff and cold,
holding the matches,
of which one bundle was burned.
Rita picked her up in the street,
a witness saw them getting into a truck.
But they didn't get the number.
Why the hell did they let her go out
on her own? She is 6 years old.
The police getting there in time
wouldn't have changed anything.
It turns out,
Loukauskis has provided his DNA
and documented that he's her father.
- What?
He sent the necessary documents to
the Lithuanian authorities
in order to transfer custody.
So you're thinking,
why kidnap her, right?
Exactly.
Well, he is a human trafficker.
Yeah, I know, but
Maybe he's just in too much of a hurry
to actually wait for the authorities.
When I was interviewing Rita,
right after Greta was killed,
I asked her if she didn't want
to avenge her daughter.
If Rita cleaned the boat
after Loukauskis killed Armande,
she knows her brother is the murderer,
she knows how he murdered her.
You see? So it makes perfect sense
that she didn't want to talk to me.
Because her daughter was killed
the same way.
So which blood ties are strongest? To
her brother or to her deceased daughter?
Exactly.
Mom?
Mom?
Have you seen my sister?
- Wasn't she with a man?
Yes, number 11, there.
- 11. OK.
Get out! OK? And take your filthy
clothes with you. Get out!
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
What?
Mom?
Hello.
- It's me, Jackie.
Listen, it is Armande's DNA we found
on Loukauskis' clothes at Dahlia's.
I'm really starting to believe
in the divorce from hell theory.
Did you bring Dahlia in for questioning?
I wish I could have but her house was
empty in that strange way, you know
Her wallet, credit card, mobile
Everything was there.
But she's been gone since yesterday.
- OK.
What are you thinking?
- The same as you, I guess.
Are you happy? Is she cute?
Yeah, she's She's beautiful.
I want to spend some time with her,
I don't really know her yet.
No I suppose you don't.
She's lucky to have you.
You keep me posted. Right?
Yes, sure. I will. See you.
Grant eternal rest unto her,
Lord,
and let perpetual light
shine upon her.
May she rest in peace.
Dinner's ready in two minutes.
- Yeah.
I'm not hungry.
- You're going to eat anyway.
Can I take him to Pet Day
next Friday?
OK, come on.
Come here.
A bit closer, darling.
Do you want some rice?
Jackie, rice?
- Yes.
Thank you.
- OK?
Mr Loukauskis, the connection is ready.
Hello, my friend.
I'm looking forward to your questions.
I am surprised you said yes.
Me too.
I have no influence over what
your colleagues write about me
but I know you're a decent person who
won't manipulate the truth, that's why.
This is my chance to defend myself,
so fire away.
Great So, first
Do you recall the situation with
Armande, on board your yacht?
Actually, no.
It's a complete blank.
I don't doubt that it happened,
that I completely lost my temper,
but the actual fatal moment
I can't remember, that's all.
I pray to my God every day
for forgiveness.
Your forgiveness, I don't dare ask for.
You have it.
Thank you.
Can you see a checked curtain?
Yes. It's there.
By the way, who is publishing your book?
No one. I'm publishing it myself,
as an e-book.
I'm putting image and sound files in it
that document parts of your activities.
That's modern and clever.
So that means that it's all
on your computer
You know me, Loukauskis.
In your last email
you suggested that
we talk about Nemesis.
My assistants have no idea
what the word means.
The goddess who punishes
where earthly laws fail.
You think I am afraid of her?
I am not. I am more afraid of Hybris
Arrogance or overconfidence.
Go!
You need to be very careful with them,
my friend.
You didn't get him.
Where the hell are you?
Where were we?
In my book, I prove that your vast
fortune is built on modern slavery.
And that's not meant as a metaphor,
I mean it literally.
I can document that you've been trading
and abusing human beings for years,
using them for life-threatening work
as prostitutes, as child laborers,
burglars,
contract killers, etc
Marius, I know
you're a man of faith, so
How do you square your beliefs
with what you do?
I don't understand.
He's meant to be in Gabriella's cabin.
What?
The GPS signal can be unstable
in the mountains,
maybe he moved further up
or further down, I don't know.
We've still got a man in the area.
- Yeah.
But he's not stupid, is he?
ALICIA VERBEEK, I HAVE JUST CHATTED
TO LOUKAUSKIS ON SKYPE.
HE IS IN HEERKENSWEG, LOMMEL.
JEAN LOUIS POQUELIN
