Nemesis (2024) s01e08 Episode Script

[Juul] Jesus, Mom. What's wrong?
All for a stupid hard drive.
You don't know where that thing is?
Look, alright, Julius is here right now
with me and he doesn't have it.
So if you could you relay that message,
I'd appreciate it.
I mean, you're free to hop out,
if you want.
Listen, Marcus. I'm going to need you
to do something for me. I have a plan.
[Marcus] Our office
may have been compromised
and our prosecutor is in hiding.
[Sylvia] Dad.
Juul, shouldn't you just let me have
that hard drive?
[Kim] Too bad your gift can't help.
But at some point, a large depreciation
is cheaper than more funding.
[prison guard] Stop that!
[Ed] Yes. Now you know everything.
-Marcus, about my theory
-Is there a problem?
We're getting Germany on the case.
That'll obviously affect you as well.
[gunfire]
[Lars] He actually has been constantly
supported since he was 14.
One time,
his school does actually mention
[Sylvia] Paid by his father.
Prosecutor.
May I still call you that?
Call me whatever you want.
Alright, because we're just trying
to make all the pieces fit together here.
-Mm-hmm.
-How things got this far out of hand.
Maybe you could start from the beginning
just one more time.
[Sylvia] Then, uh, I need to think.
It, uh, started with a raid
Ed.
Alright, fine.
[breathes unevenly]
that was blocked.
[music, chattering in French on radio]
Hey.
-Look who it is.
-Good morning.
-How's the fever?
-My brain's working again. Let's go.
Sylvia, help me out here.
Hey, what are we going to do?
I've already told you what we're doing.
Come on. Get in.
[Ed] Hold on. We don't know anything--
I got word from Germany that they want
to speak with me right now in person.
Well, yeah. That's good news, but--
They uncovered new info on
the background of Martin Heezink.
Oh.
-Uh, any idea what?
-No.
Otherwise, I can also drive to The Hague
on my own and from there I'll--
Ed, come on. I really need everyone.
-Sorry to leave you with this shit show.
-It's fine.
Go get them.
-[gasps]
-[chuckles]
It's OK. Didn't want to scare you.
I, uh Maybe I shouldn't have crept up
next to you like that.
No.
I was expecting you to have security.
I'm Vera Duchesny.
Yes, I know.
I belong to an organization, the Global
Alliance of Investigative Journalists.
And we've had our eye on you
for a long time.
But now, uh
We can help you.
This story is bigger than you can handle.
We currently represent
the 80 largest news outlets in the world.
Stop there. I've already had
one experience with a big media company.
-That wasn't really positive.
-We're not a media company.
What we are is journalism.
If what you're saying is valid,
then an enormous team,
with access to money and time
needs to be assembled
and, respectfully speaking,
they'll have more experience than you.
What about me, then, huh?
What about you?
If you let your ego get in the way,
and if you never speak out about this
it means you're simply an amateur.
[chuckles]
[chattering in French on radio]
[Ed] Maybe you'd like to tell me
who we're speaking with in Germany.
Look, I'm not saying
you're making a mistake.
I'm just trying to see if I can help.
Mom, Dad's asking you something.
You know I've worked with Germany a lot.
You just need to use my network.
[Sylvia sighs]
Honey, just wait. Once we get to Germany,
your dad will explain everything to you.
[male guard] I don't think he'll eat it.
-He's completely paranoid.
-Yeah, I can imagine.
[knocking]
Room service!
I scooped it myself.
Nicely done, Stan. Now you can skip lunch.
MUNICH - GERMANY
[sirens wail]
PUBLIC PROSECUTION SERVICE
PARKING LOT 1
[Lars] Are you OK?
[man and woman chat in background]
[Stephan] Hi, Sylvia.
-[Sylvia] Hi.
-Hope it wasn't too hard to find.
No, no, no. [chuckles]
-Hi. Ulrich.
-Sylvia, hi.
-I can take you over there now.
-Yes.
There's coffee,
as well as some magazines upstairs.
Be right back.
-Keep an eye on things?
-Of course, yeah.
-Ulrich.
-Ed Koppers.
Hi. Would you like a cappuccino or just
regular coffee? We've got everything.
[Stephan]
I believe you have something for me.
I I haven't really, uh, had a good look
at it myself.
[sighs] OK.
We'll, uh, go through it carefully.
It's going to take a couple of hours
to present it to the minister.
I understand that. Yeah.
For us, it is very important to have it
in writing that you approached us.
That you fear for your safety
and that of your team.
And that you're asking us to take over.
That's right.
And then the idea is
that you will have joint leadership
with your German counterpart,
or should we leave that out?
I I haven't really thought about that.
It's It's not that important for me
to stay involved.
You want to be done with it, huh?
Why is this important?
Well, there was there was an incident.
Martin Heezink is now
in an isolation cell.
I see.
[Stephan] A new lawyer has been assigned
to him, but he has refused.
And he indicated
that he may want to cooperate,
provided certain conditions are met.
Such as?
He only wants to talk to you.
Oh.
I'll be right back.
Sylvia, do you have a minute?
Uh, I don't know what they've told you,
but it might be a good idea
-if all three of us sit down together.
-That won't be necessary.
I know everything.
[chattering in German in background]
-But maybe I can explain things.
-Oh, you definitely can.
Yeah, to him there.
[Nina chuckling]
[footsteps]
[Daniel] Nina Jacobs?
Hello.
Daniel de Leeuw. The hard drive
you're publishing through your podcast
came into your possession by theft.
We've substantiated this before a judge.
That's why he's declared all broadcasts
of your podcast to be illegal.
The Public Prosecution Service orders you
to immediately cease and desist.
So, when I put a new episode online,
uh, I'll get arrested.
No, no.
We're not giving you what you want.
That's why we issued the same demand
to all the streaming services
and podcasting studios
in the Netherlands and Europe,
and ordered them to take
your podcasts offline from this day on
and moving forward.
And, of course, no media companies
would risk getting involved with theft.
Keep broadcasting, by all means.
Too bad you'll be in the fringes
with the weirdos and conspiracy theorists.
I think if a message is important enough,
it'll find its audience.
Have a nice day.
[Nina] Like this.
Fuckers.
[Stephan]
Guys, sorry. I don't know what's going on.
First, there was an OK
then another call.
Now they're unsure again.
Tomorrow morning,
the minister will contact me again.
-There are plenty of hotels nearby.
-No, we will wait here.
-But
-The lights go out here at eight o'clock.
-They're throwing us out, Syl.
-We'll wait outside on the doorstep.
OK. I'll inform the night shift
that you're here.
[Lars grunts and sighs] So.
[breathes unevenly]
[distant siren blares]
Good evening.
You could try the rain pipe.
That might work.
[exhales]
May I ask
what you're trying to get out of this?
Well
I just love seeing you flounder.
-Yeah, well, who says I'm floundering?
-I do.
They're not going to do it, those Germans.
Martin's clients, Saudis, Russians
-[chuckles]
-In this political climate
They are all cowards. We all are.
Sylvia isn't.
Yes, she is.
Ultimately, all she is, is a pragmatist,
like I am.
And then we'd let him go,
same as always.
[whistling soft melody]
[Ed] Juul. I want to talk to you a minute.
Ten years before I met your mother,
I had, uh
Um, what would you call it? Um
an affair with a woman I knew from work.
His secretary.
Would you please not do that, Sylvia?
I I don't want to forget anything.
This was long before you.
Um, and I have to I have to add,
it was a very different time.
Completely consensual,
you'd call it today. [chuckles]
Anyway, it lasted a few months.
Then the relationship just came to an end.
And I never heard anything about it again.
-End of story.
-Till 15 years later.
You were probably a year old, I think.
And I got
I received this message, um, that asked me
to come because my son was in trouble.
I thought it was the daycare, that it was
about you, so I got really worried.
But then they told me my son
-[vomits]
was being held at the police station.
And that I had to go and pick him up.
So, I went to the station
and then they told me,
"Your son Martin is here
and you may take him home."
Look, Juul. Keep in mind
I mean, that child was conceived
before I met your mother.
And when I discovered it
your, um your mom had a
Well, she'd been having some issues
of her own.
[sighs] I know that's no excuse,
but but the thing is
you didn't want to hold Julius.
That's true, right? You felt like
you had to share me with everyone.
And I'm not saying it's your fault,
but I mean
you were sorry, but psychotic.
So I couldn't I couldn't tell you.
And when that was over
and, uh, you were older
the time to come forward
with all of that had passed.
But you have to understand
I didn't know who he as.
Or if it was true.
All I knew was that he was one of the most
brilliant kids that I'd ever seen.
So then, I, uh
um, paid for his education
and then I helped him, uh, get started.
That's all it was.
OK.
Thanks.
[Ed] You probably have questions.
No.
[knocking]
[female prison guard] Stan.
Stan? Stan!
Stan!
[fast receding footsteps]
[rapid breathing]
[Nina] And that brings us
to the end of our episode two
in our series on Martin Heezink.
A dictator supported by the West,
a drug route from Colombia,
a pension fund trading blood diamonds,
it's all just too bizarre to list,
but if it didn't happen here,
it wouldn't happen anywhere.
And, of course, I want to thank
my listeners who have stuck with me
from the bottom of my heart.
Please keep sharing.
Keep spreading the word.
And we'll be back
on the world stage in no time.
-Poof. Mind-blowing.
-[chuckles] Thank you, sir.
-For real.
-[chuckles] Thank you.
-Another great one. Yeah, seriously.
-Sweet.
Alright, go get 'em.
Marcus.
Can I speak to you a minute?
Ed Koppers and Sylvia
are in quite a little jam.
Did you know that?
Uh, yeah, I did, yeah.
I really don't want to get into
how they got into this mess.
[Oscar sighs]
The big advantage of our work
is that we can always avoid
all of the political wheeling and dealing.
Yeah. For people your age
that may sound rather bizarre.
I know, but in our line of work, we deal
with money, tax rules, accounts, right?
Whose money? How'd they make it?
What's behind it?
That's none of my business.
I'm not saying I don't care, but I don't
pretend I have some morally superiority
or that I'm smarter,
or know the bigger picture.
This case concerns a lot of money
and some pretty aggressive people.
[chuckles]
That's what I love about you, you know.
Some people are able
to read between the lines.
But you need to be told twice
and I still don't know if you understand.
Martin Heezink, uh,
is in a maximum security prison.
And it sure makes
some people's lives easier
if he were to get
transferred someplace else.
For his own safety of course.
Hm.
Mm?
[chuckles]
Is that how you're going to be?
Are you suddenly concerned about
the welfare of Martin Heezink,
the biggest scumbag
to ever work in finance?
Listen, if you need to choose between
Koppers, Sylvia and him,
-I'd say the choice is pretty clear.
-That's true. OK. OK. Um
So, here's what I propose.
I will never tell your daughter
what you've asked me to do just now.
And you'll stay as far away from us
as possible for the rest of your life.
I wasn't exactly asking, Marcus.
Good luck.
[interrogator] And at that time,
everyone at the department understood
the meaning of that transfer request?
Yes, I would say that they did. Yeah.
That they intended
to assassinate Mr. Heezink?
Absolutely.
Yeah, I could do that,
but she's still in the lobby.
[chuckles]
Yeah, with the whole family.
Yeah, you tell her I can't get rid of her.
She's a tough one.
Got it. Will do.
OK.
-Any news?
-A little news.
The minister wants to know
what Heezink has to say
and then we'll think about the deal.
We need his deposition first.
-OK.
-Not a done deal yet, but it is something.
This may take forever, Sylvia.
How long are we going
to stay here in the lobby?
Oh, uh, and the hard drive that
you gave us, we will keep it in our safe,
until a final decision's been reached.
We haven't had the chance to investigate
everything that Heezink has filed on it.
It'll take us a few more days.
[Sylvia] Yes, please.
[Stephan] The key is to get him out
of the Netherlands as quickly as possible,
though, um, there's not really anything
we can do about that.
Why quickly?
We have intelligence that another attempt
has been made on Heezink's life.
-When?
-Last night.
-[Ed] In prison?
-That's right.
Now they're trying to transfer him
to a less secured environment.
[door unlocked]
Did you expect to have
that kind of response from Marcus?
From Marcus, yeah.
And the others you work with?
Yeah, that was more surprising.
Hey, Lars. Where the hell are you?
Things are totally out of hand here.
-Hey, I'm trying to reach Marcus.
-Marcus is out.
What? Why?
Yeah, apparently, he fucked up
with some receipts or something.
But everyone knows it's because
he refuses to transfer Heezink.
-What's this for?
-You're being moved.
His lawyer wants him out
of maximum security.
-Because he's in danger there.
-So who's replacing Marcus?
[Kim] Oh, you're going to love this.
They've asked seven people
to take his place.
-Yeah, alright. So who got it?
-[Kim] They all refused.
The whole department stopped working.
Isn't that amazing?
Yeah, it is.
It is.
It's good,
but they're just going to keep looking
until they find someone
who is willing to cooperate.
[judge] An unusual promotion,
Mr. De Leeuw, I must say.
And incredibly fast too.
It's merely junior prosecutor.
-It does happen with people my age.
-Is that so?
And starting out
with a rather controversial request.
What does Mr. Heezink think of this?
Mr. Heezink is being transferred
right now for his own good.
There have been two attempts
on his life already.
Well, I'm guessing
you'll quickly move up the ladder.
-Thank you, sir.
-That wasn't a compliment.
-[Daniel] It's taken care of.
-OK.
OK. Let's get it over with.
[female guard] Huh.
It's a different prosecutor every time.
What's up with you guys?
There have been
a few changes of power.
And I've got it officially in writing
that Martin Heezink is to be transferred.
Yeah, two of your colleagues
are just picking him up.
What's that?
Maybe we could have a talk.
I've got plenty of money
-Let's go.
-They're just taking him now.
Thanks, guys.
Mr. Koppers,
I have your colleague on the phone.
Another time.
-Did it work?
-Of course.
Leave that to your parents.
Yeah. I'm still confused
on how this happened.
What's going on over there?
But are the Germans on board?
Alright.
Make sure you let the minister know.
If Martin Heezink falls
into German hands, then
then it's over.
Martin's going to talk no matter what,
about everybody.
Alright. Uh, see if you can find
Ed Koppers somewhere.
Yeah.
[interrogator]
And could that just happen?
Who was in charge there?
The Germans or the Dutch?
[Sylvia] At that moment, I was.
So, Martin, you want to talk to me, huh?
-Where should I go?
-Here.
Alright, you have your own little bathroom
right here next to your bedroom.
Of course, all the knives
have already been taken out.
We've got someone in the front.
Someone in the back.
If you want some air, I'll go with you.
-We'll go for a walk together.
-Why are we here?
The German tax authority is willing
to take over the entire case
and have you as an informant.
OK, then why aren't we
at a German police station?
You said you wanted to talk to me, right?
We'll do that here.
-They still have doubts.
-That all depends on what you tell them.
In exchange for what?
That's between you and the Germans.
It's this
or back to the maximum security prison.
Yeah.
-[sighs]
-Let's start talking tomorrow morning.
[Oscar] If Sylvia's plan gets pushed
through, you'll get 20 years too, Ed.
Just cut the kid loose,
so everyone's rid of it.
[Ed] That kid is my son, Oscar.
On paper only, Ed.
-[Ed] Can I speak to him?
-[Sylvia] No.
Hey, honey. Did you have a good trip?
-Yeah, it was fine.
-[Sylvia] You're in this one.
You can put your stuff inside.
[indistinct chattering]
It's like a family reunion.
[Sylvia] Do you want that one?
Take it with you.
-[Ed] Do you need this?
-[Sylvia] Yeah, OK. Juul?
It's only for a few days, Juul.
Whatever happens, that's it.
OK.
Hey, we haven't had a chance to talk yet
about everything Dad told us.
Yeah. What's there to talk about?
Well, you tell me.
[sighs]
You know there's a pool here
by the main entrance.
And an arcade, if you're up for it.
[chuckles softly]
So, going home tomorrow.
Recovery. Nice.
-Yeah.
-I'll miss you.
You are the biggest badass
that I have ever met.
[both laugh]
What you said about those pension funds,
you nailed it.
I've been trying to spread the word,
you know.
-But it's driving my friends nuts.
-Same with me.
And I keep telling them,
you should listen.
You got to listen
to what this girl's saying.
-But yeah, they just don't want to know.
-[chuckling]
Anyway, I'm trying to red pill them
one by one.
-What did you say?
-That's something else you're good at.
You don't start with the hardcore shit,
the real Illuminati shit.
The, uh, Protocols of Zion,
the pedophile networks. No.
I used to start with that, but you can
tell you're scaring people away.
-The pedophile networks?
-Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But that
that stuff wasn't on my podcast.
No, but that's just it. You can hear it
between the lines. [chuckles]
Yeah. [chuckles] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[Lars] Hey.
Hey.
[drink being poured]
Syl.
We're really going to take this thing
all the way together. Am I right?
Not just Martin, but Ed too.
They both deserve.
[swallows nervously]
Yeah.
[beeping]
-Alright, first
-[Martin] Yeah.
So, all throughout this case, going back
to the beginning with Hilde Bannmeier,
Germany, 2013, a good number of people
who happened
to cross paths with you are dead.
Yeah?
-Were you responsible for that?
-No.
Well, I could have done something
to prevent it from happening and I didn't.
OK. Sure.
But you have to understand,
I was 14 when this started.
[Sylvia] When what started?
[Martin] I did my first trade
when I was 14, anonymously.
When I was 20, I was doing business
with people around the world.
Five years ago, crypto. A year ago, NFTs.
And if you don't know exactly
who you're in business with,
things can get weird very fast.
-[Lars] How come they know who you are?
-I cut a deal with law enforcement.
[Lars] Yes, with, uh, Ed Koppers.
With your father.
Yeah.
I didn't realize that everybody knew that.
So Martin is a half-brother?
[Ed] Yeah, that's one way to put it,
but this is different
because I didn't know I had him.
But when you found out,
you started to help him?
Financially, yeah.
-With his education and sometimes advice.
-How come I didn't get your help?
You didn't you think I was smart enough?
A few weeks ago,
when we began working this case,
someone broke into my house one night
when we were there. Was that meant to?
That was to install a wiretap and camera.
Which did happen, by the way.
That was instructed by Ed Koppers,
my father, that is. [chuckles]
[Juul] So what's going to happen now?
Right now your mother
is recording his testimony, so that way,
he can be extradited to Germany.
-And you too?
-Maybe.
Mom knows you'd go to jail
and still go through with it?
It's not that simple, Juul.
And why can't they do that in jail?
Because in jail, his life is in danger.
-Yeah, so what?
-No, Juul.
Let them shoot him. Who cares?
-Then we'd be done with it.
-Don't say that.
-You'd be done with it.
-Juul, this isn't you.
[Martin.] I've always hated you.
You know that? Even as a child.
I mean, not you. My father and Julius.
I was so alone.
And every now and then I'd hear from you.
He'd call me on my birthday, in secret.
Send me a picture from a ski trip.
I would always be so jealous.
They don't have much
at the convenience store.
If you let me take the car,
I'll drive to the village down the road.
Hey, Syl.
You can't lock me up here, you know?
No, Ed. I'm doing the shopping here.
-[Kim] Hey! Stop!
-[grunting]
[grunting]
-[Juul] Let go of me!
-No.
-No, Ed. stay!
-[grunting]
[grunting, gasping for breath]
Martin, calm down.
-Let him go, Martin.
-He started it!
-[Juul grunting]
-Your son comes here with a knife.
Juul, what have you done?
[grunting]
-[Sylvia] Lars, let me handle it.
-[grunting]
Can everyone, please, just calm down?
-Lars, no. Don't.
-Have her put the gun away, Sylvia.
They're brothers.
Guys, let's figure this out
as a family.
[Juul gasps for breath]
Let him go.
Let him go!
[Juul grunts and groans]
[sighs]
[Juul whimpers]
[interrogator]
So you deny that an incident took place?
This means you claim that
Ms. van Deurne's statement is incorrect.
Yeah.
That's correct.
-Are you leaving?
-Yeah, you bet I am.
This thing is getting too fucked up
.
-Hm.
-I don't think they need me anymore.
[sighs]
[Nina] And that wraps up episode four.
But anyway,
is there still someone listening to me?
I hope so.
Hello.
Anyone there?
[Oscar] Hey, Enzo. You're going so fast.
Come here. Huh?
Hey! [laughs]
I just can't quite believe it, Dad.
I'm sorry.
I wouldn't make it up.
Call the prosecutor's.
-They'll say the same thing.
-But why is he suspended?
Because he I don't know.
-Hey, Grandpa.
-Hey there, kid.
-Grandpa!
-[laughs]
Maybe we could still do something,
like talk to him about it.
He's just so distant.
I wonder if you could tell me
who he's recently spoken with.
He's in Germany right now.
Where exactly?
[grunts softly]
I don't know, Dad.
He might have left his email open
in his office.
Maybe we can find something
that can help for his own good.
Yeah? Enzo, come, boy.
And I really like you hair like that.
Enzo!
-No, no. This way.
-[Enzo laughs]
-Come on!
-Come here, honey. Come.
-[Kim] For how many places am I setting?
-Four.
[Marcus] Hi.
The German Ministry just sent word.
The minister has agreed.
Tomorrow, at 9:00 a.m., the German FIOD
is taking Heezink off our hands.
[breathes heavily]
Congratulations, Sylvia.
Want a bite?
[Marcus] Uh, yeah.
Great.
-[Juul] Can you put these on the table?
-Uh, yeah.
Well, I'm dying to find out. It's from
the convenience store here. [grunts]
[sighs]
[Sylvia] I thought we could do this,
just for tonight.
-Have a seat.
-Yeah.
-[Marcus] Great.
-[Sylvia] Here.
-[cork pops]
-[grunts softly]
Thank you, honey.
So
[splash of pouring wine]
-I don't drink, thanks.
-OK.
[exhaling, sighing]
So, did everyone have a nice weekend?
-[Sylvia] Water?
-Thank you.
[Ed] OK, um
-Can you hand me the fork?
-Yeah.
How long of a sentence
you think you'll get?
-Juul, let's not discuss that here.
-I think 15 or 20 years.
[Sylvia] Well
[Martin] Those are the sentences
they give the big crypto guys.
[Marcus] Well, yeah, that's about right.
Minus the reduced sentence, but that'll
only be like half, I would say.
-Ed?
-Yeah.
-And you?
-Juul.
Similar, I think.
[Ed] We'll see when it happens.
Well, better than dead.
[sighs softly]
[door opens]
I'll come get you when we're ready.
[door closes]
Uh, Martin, you could cover
for me for a little while
uh, when you talk to the Germans.
You're the who's getting caught here,
so why would you drag me into this?
[woman] Cars approaching.
Stand by, all units
[man] Copy.
We've got the suspect in our sights.
[chatter over police radio]
-[Sylvia] Hello. Yes.
-Miss Van Maele?
We're here to take him off your hands.
Yes. Um, where is Stephan?
Unfortunately, Mr. Heder could not attend,
but we have all the necessary papers.
Uh, OK.
Which cottage is Mr. Heezink in?
-Uh, I can go get him for you.
-No, there's no need.
-[man] Confirming suspect location.
-Thank you.
[woman] Moving out.
Stephan Herder, please.
[Stephan] Sylvia. Sorry.
I was just about to call you.
I'm afraid it's not going to work out.
I I really tried my best,
but you must understand.
There are so many interests involved
that no matter how hard we try
[breathes shakily]
[breathes shakily]
The Germans don't want him.
[man] Damn it.
-Empty nest. I repeat, empty nest.
-[woman] File back.
-[Marcus] What happened?
-[Oscar] We're on top of it.
We know exactly where they are.
[Ed] They won't be coming after us.
[phone rings]
Huh.
[interrogator]
And you were driving around for how long?
[Sylvia] Quite a while.
[interrogator] And with what, uh, purpose?
Hello, this is Sylvia Van Maele. I need
to speak to the consul. It's urgent.
[man] He's in a meeting right now.
Can you try later?
Ed, Ed, Ed, give me three seconds.
-Just--
-I'll give you two.
-I'm taking a leak.
-What exactly is the plan here?
[Ed] Well, uh, you should ask Sylvia that.
[Sylvia] We're halfway to Belgium, but you
have to call ahead to Brussels, Marcus.
Otherwise, we'll go to Paris.
[Oscar] So what's she planning on doing?
Drive in circles? [laughs]
-Seems like you want to go to jail.
-What's the plan?
[Sylvia]
The plan, sir, is to keep Heezink alive.
If we let him go, he's dead.
Call every consulate
and ask them to please let you in.
Maybe the Americans after all.
I don't know, Marcus. Can't you just call
them? Yes, because his life's in dan
And then what?
Let's just put him on a plane to Dubai.
Huh?
-Hey. [sighs]
-[hang up tone]
Great.
[sighs]
Let's go.
[Oscar] Sorry, sorry, sorry.
I don't want to go back
to the Netherlands.
[interrogator] But, Miss Van Maele,
was there even a plan at all?
I'll just have rice noodles
with something.
-What is ku-lok-kai again?
-I think you love that.
-And what are you going to have, Syl?
-I'll just have a coffee.
And Martin?
He's in the bathroom.
OK.
[Sylvia] But he wasn't there anymore.
-[interrogator] Just disappeared?
-Yeah.
[clunking, soft banging]
[Sylvia sighs]
[Martin] I'm not escaping.
I mean, if you can even
consider this being detained.
-I'm trying to help you.
-Yeah, right, amazing. Thank you.
-Only it's not going anywhere.
-You're wrong about that.
We've got to have more patience.
I'm in touch with Canada.
Sylvia, if you can't tell me right now
where we're going
then this is just a kidnapping.
[sighs]
All I am to you is a liability.
I'm only putting you in danger.
OK.
Just tell him I was already gone.
[Sylvia breathes unevenly]
[soft chuckle]
[interrogator]
Did you hear from Mr. Heezink again?
No, I'm sure he's on some yacht
in the Caribbean or
he's dead.
OK.
[Fransen] The chief public prosecutor
said that the suspension was unjustified.
And will be withdrawn.
-Your work phone, badge.
-Thank you.
[Fransen] Then we leave it at that, hm?
[interrogator] As far as we're concerned.
[Ed breathes unevenly]
-Did it go well?
-Yeah.
Good.
[Ed swallows, sighs]
-[Joost] I'll get to it. Hey, man.
-[Ed] Hey, Joost.
[Joost] Just give me a few minutes.
[breathes heavily]
[clatter of crockery]
You coming?
Congratulations Chief Prosecutor.
-[cork pops]
-[Ed sighs]
Champagne.
[knocking]
[Ed] I haven't formally heard
from the procurator-general yet,
but he's definitely going
to approve the promotion.
Let's celebrate.
Hey.
I've been trying to reach you all day.
-Why didn't you answer?
-Huh.
Still mad about it?
It's over.
Oh.
But it's not over for you.
No, well,
you're completely right about that.
I can put out a statement, OK?
Just tell me it's done.
I don't think you'll fix it with that.
Alright. Then I'll quit. How's that?
I would've liked to have gone on a while,
but I'll just finish the year
and you won't hear from me again.
-I want you to tell the truth, Ed.
-I have! You know everything now.
Not just me. Tell everybody.
[breathes shakily]
But
[chuckles]
What's the point in doing that?
God, I mean, come on!
Look, I get it.
I understood when
it was all collateral damage
uh, in the trial against Martin.
I get that.
-[Lars] I heard you got a nice promotion.
-Yeah, a great one.
[Ed] You really want me to, uh
And what if I don't?
Incredible, you are cold as ice. [laughs]
I shouldn't laugh, but Christ.
I I've never seen that before.
You would just let me go to jail alone?
And you think
you're still going to score big.
Look.
Here's our first case.
I thought you and I had worked something
out as well, you know, together.
I am not doing this. Screw you!
I mean, what, do you want,
for me to grovel on my knees,
as if I had not risked it all,
literally everything for you!
You can go straight to hell!
Sylvia
You don't seem to be all here.
But think about Julius.
He's still in school.
And his father in jail, huh?
And what for? For your personal revenge?
[sobs softly]
[continues sobbing]
Know what? You're right. Fuck it.
I can't handle this
this weight anymore on my shoulders.
I mean, uh, how about you call 'em now?
Do it. Do it. Just go ahead and do it.
How are you going to do that?
-Give me a minute.
-[honks horn]
Everything was handed over
to the international press this morning.
The whole world is watching from now on.
-[Nina grunts]
-[door opens]
What's up, girls?
[sighs]
I've basically been murdered by you.
[door closes]
Hey.
[Juul] Hey.
[chuckles]
