- You played me.
- You came to me.
PREVIOUSLY
It's her job to write that stuff.
[Patrick] These maps are a perfect set.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yet still
There are no pipes here.
That's exactly my point.
Wait, don't tell me.
If it wasn't for us, you'd be behind bars.
I notified the press. It wasn't Steve.
Assistant Knockaert, best wishes.
[all clapping]
Do you know if they
only check for alcohol?
You're suspended by the district board.
CAN WE TALK SOMETIME?
ACTUALLY TALK
[inaudible]
We need that boat, remember that!
Shutting it down.
Look. The documents should be there.
They might force us to pack up any day.
To be an assistant, you must build trust!
[intense music playing]
A NETFLIX SERIES
Anouk! Xander! Wake up now!
Check. Check.
Officers, outside!
Claudia, get your flashlight!
[Vincent] When you're in charge
as assistant,
it's of vital importance
to stay calm and focused.
So it's perfectly clear to everyone
what they're supposed to do.
- Get in position.
- [kids coughing]
- Check.
- [Xander] Where's Mom?
[panting] She's coming.
[Vincent] One detail off,
and it all goes to hell,
and people will die.
But you realize that
as soon as this job begins.
- [Claudia panting]
- That was too close.
But you're alive.
[Vincent] But what you can do is train.
Train and push your times.
How was it?
It was a good
but it didn't break our record.
Go on, go to bed.
- [Claudia] All right
- [Vincent exhales]
- Sleep well.
- [kids] Good night.
- See you tomorrow.
- [Vincent] See you tomorrow.
[Vincent exhales]
Hey.
You all right?
Hey.
- Assistant.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
Come.
[Vincent] Your team comes first.
[chuckles]
Your team, that's the most
important thing. It's everything.
It's your family.
You know? You have to
blindly put your life in their hands.
Yeah. Honesty and trust.
Trust them always.
And that's it.
[knocking at door]
[Jitske] Yeah?
[Tom] Hi there. Hey, Jitske.
Tom.
I didn't know you were coming today.
Yeah, I was in the neighborhood,
- so I thought I'd pop in.
- [chuckles]
And I wanted to have a word with you.
Okay.
Okay.
UNDER FIRE
[fire crackling]
Uh [chuckles]
A good fireman, well, um
A good fireman is
always ready to help others.
Yeah, you always have to be able
to put yourself second.
[Tom] Sorry about that.
There was a huge line downstairs.
This doesn't look very good.
They should really start
serving some better food here.
Jitske?
- Jitske.
- Hmm? [gasps]
[exclaims]
Oh, my God. So sorry.
I fell asleep for a moment.
- No biggy.
- Mmm.
[sighs] I had a very intense dream.
What did you dream about?
It's always the same dream, my accident.
[tense music playing]
I go back inside my car, and I
I want to step out,
but the door is jammed.
And I'm also terribly hot,
and there's a lot of smoke.
And I see the driver getting out
of his car and walking towards me.
And then?
Then nothing.
I don't remember, it was a hit-and-run.
And frankly, I really hope that I
never, and I mean never,
have to meet the person
that did this to me.
[cup shatters]
You okay?
Yeah, uh, I dropped the tea.
[sniffs] So stupid.
Jitske
I need to talk to you.
Yeah?
[Tom] I think that integrity
is one of the most important qualities
a good firefighter should possess.
You must be trustworthy to others.
[mellow music playing]
[chuckling] What were you going to say?
No, uh No, actually, it's nothing.
I can't even remember.
Listen, um, I really need to go.
Will you be around?
Uh, no, I'm going to the movies
and the swimming pool, and
Just kidding, I'll be staying here.
Okay.
[door closes]
See ya.
BZIO
REHABILITATION CENTER
[cell phone ringing]
What?
Yeah, sure. See you there. Bye.
[Tom] If you're not really into it,
or don't have good intentions,
you won't be able to do the job well.
If you don't put your heart into it,
you shouldn't do it.
- Hey, Vincent.
- Why are you here?
Please take a look at this, will you?
I can't operate it.
I'm barely able to find the power button.
I took it from central command.
This is Gilbert's computer.
- You're crazy.
- Huh?
You broke into central command
to steal his computer?
He's gone to a conference.
He won't be back for a few days.
Vincent, take a look.
The documents should be in there.
- They might force us to pack it up.
- What do you mean?
Nobody knows yet, but Gilbert
wants East Bank station disabled.
He plans to merge us with another station.
What?
He was working on it for a long time.
I've prevented it so far, but
How? He didn't even
discuss it with us first.
Gilbert has power.
And with me suspended,
it'll be easy for him.
- So, what now?
- Well, just take a look inside.
We gotta find dirt on Gilbert pronto.
- And, uh, shh, keep it to yourself.
- Yeah.
- Got it? Take a look, I'll call you later.
- Yeah.
- Really do it, though.
- [exhales] Yeah.
[softly] Let him call me sometime
instead of you. Come on.
Good morning.
There's something I'd like to say.
As you know, today's officially
my first day as assistant,
and despite everything,
I hope we can get off on the right foot.
As far as I'm concerned, that just means
you'll follow the rules more carefully.
For example, we'll leave
our phones in the lockers
before we go to an intervention.
Give me a break.
Tommy, could you put
your phone down for a moment?
Yeah.
[Vincent] Thanks.
- Gio, yours too.
- [keypad clacking]
- [message tone chimes]
- Yeah. What's the deal?
Come on. I'm trying to
hook up with this girl. She's a vegan.
She likes kelp. She's crazy about seaweed.
She never eats snacks, I guess.
Wow. Yeah, she's just like you.
Is she really? Good luck with that, Gio.
Now put your phone away.
Thanks. See you at roll call.
Go, Gio.
[cell phone clatters]
[Gio sighs]
Yeah, all right. Listen up, friends
[Nina] Colleagues.
[Vincent] Okay, today's planning. Uh
- Orlando
- [Gio] Whoa.
Hold on for a minute.
Excuse me, Assistant,
but isn't that a smartphone in your hand?
Um, yes, but I'm the assistant, Gio.
Our protocols are pretty clear.
- Executives can use their phone.
- Heads don't follow rules?
[Nina] Stop it.
Keep in mind
that we'll do everything digitally now.
We're going to use less paper
and work more efficiently.
Right. Cool news
from central command, everybody.
Alissa from Public Relations
is coming over to interview you
- Oh, no. Please don't do that to us.
- Oh, God. To say what?
- [Tom] I'm not good with interviews.
- Hey. It won't hurt to promote our work.
These videos will be used online
to improve our image a bit.
It's necessary after all that's happened.
- Look, even if it's to
- That make-up doll from central command?
I'll ask her some questions as well.
I'll say, "Do you like fish?"
And she'll say, "Yeah."
And then I'll say,
"I enjoy feasting on a mussel too."
- [Henri laughs]
- Ha ha ha.
Gio, listen.
Just don't get any complaints
about lack of humor because
It's a good joke, right?
- Best of luck today.
- Yeah.
[Gio clicks tongue]
[Noelle] What's gotten into you, Gio?
God damn.
Think I look good, do you?
It will do.
Very well. Make yourself comfortable.
I'll ask you a few questions.
O, uh
First can I ask you a question, please?
- Yeah.
- Do you like fish?
No. I'm a vegan.
- So no fish?
- No.
I thought maybe we could go
for mussels and fries sometime.
White wine sauce, shallots.
Because we're close to the sea.
Hey, wait. Are you the guy
that blew up on social media?
Yeah. You're the guy with the defective
fire hose at the retirement home.
Hey, you got a lot of views, don't you?
[clicks tongue]
Not the best way to promote the fire
department, but those hits add up.
Very well.
Gio, why did you join the department?
I joined the department for the action,
the adrenaline,
the danger lurking behind every corner.
- Life between death and hope.
- [siren wailing]
Hey, shouldn't we request
helicopter assistance?
Huh? Or maybe we should call the army?
Don't even think about going without the
bomb squad. The elevator could explode.
What is it, Gio?
Four of us in the truck
due to a stupid elevator.
- Come on. You got to admit that's
- S-O-P, Gio.
S-O-P. We always turn out with four men.
We should've done that three years ago.
If something had happened,
they would've blamed the station.
Do you want that on your conscience, huh?
- That's what I thought.
- Call the press and that's it.
What do you think?
"Hospital's elevator stuck."
Boom, front page guaranteed.
Or you can call your connection, Vince.
So you can drag Steve
through the mud again.
Hey, Vince? What do you think?
[solemn music playing]
[Alissa] Gonzales, I'm gonna
ask you some questions,
but maybe it'd help if you try to relax.
Loosen up, be yourself,
just let it happen. Organic, natural
Yeah, ma'am here's
gonna tell me how to sit. [scoffs]
Better?
All right. You wanna begin?
Sorry.
I have a lot on my mind.
What do you, um, need to hear?
You've received paramedic training.
Perhaps it'd be nice if you
said something about that
for future recruits who may be watching.
[Nina] Um It takes some serious balls
to do this job, that's for sure.
This is definitely
not for the faint-hearted.
GRÉGOIR
YOU KNOW WHAT WE'VE GOT
If blood makes you squeamish, stay home.
IF YOU DON'T WANT THIS TO GO TO
THE POLICE YOU'D BETTER HELP US
[Tom over recording] Fuck
You have to
You have to help me. Fuck! Shit.
I just had an accident. Shit.
Fuck. I'm high as a kite.
Suddenly the car was there.
Fucking hell. Damn it!
I tried to open the door,
but it was stuck, for God's sake.
It was stuck, God damn it!
Some people showed up,
so I just drove off.
You guys have got to help me.
Seriously, you've got to help me.
I don't know what to do.
[dialogue continues indistinctly]
[solemn music playing]
[breathing heavily]
[sobbing]
[Nina] As a paramedic, you have to
be able to control every single emotion.
If you let things get to you,
you're not gonna make it.
And you'd go through a pretty dark tunnel,
and you really don't want that.
[Vincent] Hey, Tom.
Tommy. Come here.
We'll take care of it right away.
Thank you, ma'am.
Go to reception, ask for
the technician's number and call.
- Okay.
- Thank you, Tom.
- No problem.
- Uh-huh.
[patient] Choo-choo-choo-choo-choo.
He seems to have lost his marbles.
He's crazy as a loon, isn't he? [chuckles]
Show some respect. This is
a psychiatric ward. What did you expect?
Follow me and open that elevator.
Bokkie, go to the control room.
- Yo.
- Let's go, Gio!
Tom, any word on where the mechanics are?
[man screaming]
And find out who's in that elevator,
because it doesn't sound good, huh?
Thank you, sir.
- [Gio] Blast it open?
- Blast it open.
Bokkie, shut the electricity off. I don't
want this to reset while we're working.
[Boris] I'm not an idiot, Chief!
I'm not an idiot, "Assistant"!
Got the key?
[man crying]
[man screaming]
Help me out, Gio.
Yeah.
[Vincent grunts] That's it.
We need to wait for the thing to move.
That opening's too small to get him out.
[man crying]
Hey, listen. You hear that?
Sounds like there's
one of those loonies inside.
I bet he's pressing
all the buttons at once.
They're people just like you,
they just need some more help. Here.
[screaming continues]
I'm Assistant Knockaert
from the fire department!
We'll help you! Stay away from the doors.
We're going to pull them open
as soon as we can.
[screaming continues]
[tense music playing]
And where did you get Tom's phone?
[Tom over recording] Fuck
You've got to help me. I Fuck! Shit.
Fuck. Those people God damn it.
They're most likely dead. Fuck.
- [Nina] Orlando
- Shh.
[Tom panting]
[Vincent] Yeah.
[both grunting]
- [man crying]
- Fuck.
Hey! Relax!
Tell me your name. What's your name?
What's your name?
- Mathis.
- [Vincent] Mathis.
Mine is Vincent. I'm a fireman.
We'll get you out, all right?
- [Mathis] Yeah.
- [Vincent] Yes.
[Tom] Assistant?
I just got off the phone,
but all the mechanics are out on calls,
so it'll be a couple of hours.
- Yeah.
- And I spoke with a nurse
and the man who's in there
has mental problems.
He's been having a lot of panic attacks,
so I think we should be careful.
Yeah. Thanks, Tommy.
- No problem.
- [Gio, indistinct]
- [Vincent] Mathis?
- [Mathis] Yes.
- You all right?
- [Mathis] Yes, I want to get out.
[Vincent] Easy now. Easy.
Let me out!
I wanna get out. They're going to die!
[Vincent] Relax!
Wait! Who's going to die?
[Mathis sobs]
My blue-tongued skinks. They're gonna die.
What's that?
- It's a lizard.
- [Vincent] Yeah?
It's a large lizard.
- What lizards?
- [Mathis] Yes.
[Vincent] What's wrong with the lizards?
They need to eat.
They should've been fed long ago.
Is that why you have these things here?
[Mathis] These are grasshoppers. They have
to get them, otherwise they'll die.
[chuckles] Can I do it for you?
You don't know how
How much they need and how to do it.
No, you're right. How much they need?
You can tell me.
- Mm. The small one
- [Vincent] Yes?
That's Darkness,
he needs two grasshoppers.
And the large one's called Widow,
and she needs three grasshoppers.
Okay, so two grasshoppers for Darkness,
and three for Widow. Am I right?
- Yeah.
- I'll do that for you.
Bring them over here.
- Yeah.
- The grasshoppers. Bring them to me.
Come on, it's okay.
Take it easy. Take it easy.
Yes, great. Yeah.
Give them to me.
Hey, Mathis, what is your room number?
- [Mathis] Twenty-six.
- Twenty-six.
I'll leave this lamp here,
so you'll have light. Yeah?
Bring these to his room,
so he can stay calm.
- Are these grasshoppers?
- [Vincent] Yeah.
No. They're disgusting, man.
I can't stand them.
And lizards, even less so.
They're the dinosaurs of our time.
- No, I'm not dealing with this.
- Put them in his room.
Listen, Vince. Just throw a rope in there,
secure it and pull him out.
What are you actually doing?
Playing babysitter, man?
Protecting animal life?
Do you know what you're doing?
Do what I told you.
Why on Earth should I trust you?
After you betrayed us!
You don't have to trust me,
but you have to listen to me,
because I'm the assistant, Gio,
so better do what I told you.
[tense music playing]
[sighs]
Hey, Mathis.
- Come closer please.
- Yeah.
[Vincent] Come here, buddy.
[over radio] This is Boris.
We have to do it manually.
Just come closer, man.
[door creaks]
[suspenseful music playing]
What the hell
Huh?
Look at these repulsive beasts.
Here, I brought you some grasshoppers.
Huh? Can't you hear me?
I'm not taking them out one by one.
You'll have to share. Share them equally.
Here's your dinner. This is gross. Yuck!
Good Lord, what a freak.
- [camera shutter clicks]
- Look, Mathis. Much better?
[Mathis] Oh.
- That's too much.
- Oh, they can feast.
Yeah, I threw in the entire container.
[Mathis] No, no.
Well, great, see you later.
Okay, then. Will you be all right?
- [Mathis] Oh, no.
- Call us if you need anything.
Gio
Gio, give me your phone.
- I'm not doing that.
- Give me your phone.
Why? Huh? What if I don't give it to you?
Will you call the press?
- What will you do?
- Give me your phone.
- What the fuck? Don't touch my phone.
- Give it to me!
- Guys!
- Give me my phone.
[Vincent groans] Fuck!
Fuck you, idiot!
You better watch out. This time
you've gone too far. I'm serious.
- [Boris] Break it up.
- Watch yourself!
[Vincent groans]
Not smart, man.
[Alissa] What's so nice
about being a firefighter?
Um, hmm
[sighs] To me, being a firefighter
is the best job in the world because
it offers everything I value in life.
Um
Camaraderie,
mutual loyalty, too, respect.
Should you call the police?
[Orlando] We go through fire
for each other.
No, wait. Let me think.
[Orlando] And, um, once you've done
an intervention together,
basically you're
like brothers and sisters.
You feel a very deep connection.
And that's very important here.
[solemn music playing]
And, um once you're part
of the firefighter family,
then we'll never abandon you.
GRÉGOIR
MEETING AT THE DOCKS!
Never. Whatever happens.
[sighs deeply]
ZODIAC
[suspenseful music playing]
[Noelle chuckles]
[Vincent] Should I get you suspended?
Listen to me very carefully.
Actually, this should go for everyone.
An intervention
should be sacred to a firefighter. Yeah?
And I don't care
if you don't wanna be friends,
but leave your frustrations at home
and your cell phone in your locker. Okay?
Okay.
[Vincent] Okay, what?
Okay Assistant.
Uh-huh.
[Nina] And where's Tom?
I'm not sure.
I think he's loading up Marvin. Why?
Nothing special.
We just wanna ask him something.
[tense music playing]
[breath trembling]
[tense music playing]
- [Simeon] Tommy boy.
- [Grégoir] Hey.
- You all right?
- What do you think, Simeon?
- And now?
- We wait.
Once we get a text, you're up.
Yeah? They'll take your boat,
navigate across the lock,
then pass through customs
Then you'll see another boat,
and once it flickers its lights,
you'll sail towards it and hand over
this bag in exchange for our package.
[bag unzips]
All right?
A hundred grand.
- Jesus Christ.
- Tommy, cocaine isn't free, you know.
Let's call it off while we still can.
- No, no.
- It's not too late.
Grégoir, I swear. We don't need to.
You told us you're gonna do it.
And the recordings?
Hey.
You know us, right?
Huh?
When it's all done here,
I'll delete everything.
I swear. Everything.
- Everything, Grégoir?
- I swear, dude.
- And you won't fuck me?
- No, I swear.
[Tom sniffs]
[sighs] Fucking hell.
Okay.
- [tense music playing]
- Oh, man.
Okay.
[sniffs]
[indistinct chatter]
- Hi.
- [woman] Yes?
Do you know a guy named Steve?
He's a firefighter and a regular here.
- Mm. No.
- No?
- No, I'm sure. Sorry.
- Thanks.
[cell phone chimes]
Okay. [clears throat] Your turn.
[sniffs]
- [car approaches]
- [siren wails]
Fuck. Fuck! The cops!
Hey, Grégoir, this way!
Did you call the fucking cops?
- Don't move! Don't move!
- Fuck!
- Come here, moron!
- Ah! Hey! Damn it.
- Come here!
- Hey, don't run!
Don't move!
- [grunts]
- Enough!
Fuck!
Hey! Having fun?
[Grégoir groans]
[panting]
[intense music playing]
[Boris] Seriously, dude?
Smuggling drugs with our Zodiac?
Very nice. Huh?
- Is there more you'd like to share?
- Bokkie, it's okay.
He informed us before
things went sideways. Okay?
Which one has the recording?
[Orlando] Who's got that phone?
- Who's got that phone?
- [groans] It's in my pocket.
[Orlando] Password?
- Password.
- Yeah. One, uh, zero, one,
zero, nine, three.
We're gonna delete it from that phone,
and from the cloud.
And in case there's another copy
of it somewhere else
Listen very carefully.
[Simeon over recording]
A hundred grand.
[Tom] Jesus Christ.
[Simeon]
Tommy, cocaine isn't free, you know.
We clear?
[Grégoir sighs]
Fuck off. Get back to Ghent.
Leave him alone.
[indistinct chatter]
Hey, Steve. I've been looking for you
for a few days now.
Can I sit? We need to talk.
You can do whatever you want.
What happened to your lip, huh?
Uh
Nothing.
Actually I'm very please, somebody else is
already giving you a piece of their mind.
That means I don't have to.
- [chuckles softly]
- [Steve chuckles]
Steve
- I want to apologize in person
- Without a beer then?
Huh?
No, I'm fine. I'll get a bottle of water.
A bottle of water?
Blackening my name, that's not a problem?
But having a beer together,
that's too much to ask?
Yeah, sorry. Beer then. Please.
Okay. Uh, Linda,
bring us two beers please.
[Tom] I don't know how to thank you all.
You have any idea how lucky you are?
If it was up to me,
it would have turned out differently.
If I catch you with the Zodiac again,
I'll kick you out of the station!
Not to mention
the other stuff you've done.
Do I make myself clear?
- I'm not trustworthy.
- Oh, really? No shit.
I guess you and Tom need to talk.
- Thanks, guys.
- All right. Let's go.
You heard that voicemail, too?
I'm a fucking idiot.
Tom, you didn't just flee the scene.
Orlando called a friend
at Ghent's police station.
They said they found that girl and
her parents lying next to the car wreck.
They were unconscious, okay,
but someone had pulled them out of there.
That vehicle was on fire, Tom.
You did what you could.
That's all you could do.
I wish I could
make things right for Jitske.
Honesty in this case
is the only right thing to do.
You should confess everything
to the lieutenant and Jitske.
[solemn music playing]
You're right.
I know what I have to do.
And us?
[sighs] Tom, I don't I really don't know.
You've lied to me.
I can't trust you anymore.
I I really like you, but
This is not for me. Not like this.
I wanted to do what's best
for East Bank station,
and that press leak resulted
in you getting dragged down.
That was never my intention.
Can you forgive me?
That was so stupid.
- Yeah, I didn't imagine
- Oh, and really, really low.
- Those firecams I just wanted to
- You don't know how lucky you are.
For finding me this late.
I would not have been this friendly.
Relax. We all make mistakes.
I've made a lot of mistakes, too.
[sighs]
You all know. I was a fat egoist.
But now Now you are.
You want some advice?
From an ex-assistant to an assistant?
You should be able to look
your crew straight in the eyes.
Yeah.
And if you can't,
you're not worthy of respect.
And without respect,
you can't do your job, period.
And if you, as an assistant,
aren't able do your job,
then people will die.
You can make mistakes.
That's okay. It happens.
But you have to admit them.
And if you get the chance
to make things right
you must do so.
That's how you earn respect.
- I'm bullshitting or what?
- No.
I hear you.
I'm out of here.
Thanks for the talk.
Now I know what I have to do.
[gripping music playing]
[sighs]
[mouse clicking]
Shit.
[keyboard clacking]
[intense music playing]
[opens drawer]
[keyboard clacking]
- [Orlando] Hey.
- Hi.
- I'm sorry about the delay.
- Don't worry.
Ouch! Help me out?
[Orlando sighs]
[Maaike chuckles]
[lighter clicks]
- [Orlando] Three?
- Mm-hmm.
That's the number of candles
she'll be blowing.
- Three for her third birthday.
- Yes, exactly.
So on her 16th,
you're gonna light 16 candles?
So?
I don't know. Isn't that a bit
- [sighs]
- A bit what?
[sighs] I don't know.
Isn't that a bit weird?
What's the point?
To you that doesn't make any sense.
You just forget about these things.
Damn, Maaike.
That's just not true.
I think about it every day.
Every day. Not just today.
But I'm not gonna act
like she's still alive.
Like she's here with us, growing older.
That's bullshit.
I'm sorry for trying
to find a way to cope with it.
You never even tried to mourn.
How would you know?
Where's her grave?
Where's your daughter's grave?
[scoffs]
You don't even know. You don't even
You didn't even show up at her funeral.
[Maaike scoffs]
I'm going home.
You're right. This is stupid.
[sighs]
[somber music playing]
Patrick, it's Vinny. I dropped
by your place, but you're not home.
I found some things on that computer,
and it isn't what you think it is.
Can you call me back? Bye.
[sighs]
[cell phone ringing]
- Yo, Vince.
- Hey, do you know where Patrick is?
No, why? You okay?
Patrick and the station are in deep shit.
They'll shut us down.
- What?
- Orlando, listen.
Gilbert wants our station
to merge with Gistel.
- Are you kidding? How do you know?
- That's not all. Gilbert is a dirty rat.
Patrick handed me a computer,
and I found stuff on it.
Motherfucker!
Wait a minute.
There's something in the water here!
- Vince?
- Oh, my God!
I've just seen a car in the canal! Fuck!
Fuck! There's a car in the water here
at the Slipwaykaai! Call Gistel station!
[tense music playing]
Fuck!
Yo, Vincent?
Fuck!
[car gurgling]
Vince?
[doorbell chimes]
- Hello?
- [over intercom] Hey, uh, it's Tom.
Tom?
[intense music playing]
[Vincent] If you work
for the fire department,
it's important to always be on high alert.
You need to be at the top
of your game, every single day.
[solemn music playing]
Because every single day,
people's lives are at stake.
[muffled screaming]
And at those moments,
every single detail counts.
And details cost time.
And time is your biggest enemy.
One second too early,
or one second too late
can separate life from death.
Life is very fragile.
And as a firefighter,
you're perfectly aware of that.
I'm sorry
to disturb you at this hour, but, uh
But what? What is it?
It's something that can't wait.
I'm here to resign. I need to quit.
Wait, uh Let's just sit down.
That's very sweet, Dominique,
but I My mind's made up.
I've decided.
This is my resignation.
[Tom sniffs]
- Yeah, but
- I've explained everything in this letter.
We're not gonna do it like this.
Lieutenant, thanks for everything.
You've always treated me well.
Goodbye.
[Dominique]
Hey, we're not gonna do it like this!
[door closes]
[cell phone ringing]
Orlando?
[solemn music playing]
[hesitates] Wait, just Uh
What exactly happened?
[Vincent] But the most important thing
are your teammates.
When things go wrong in an intervention,
you know your team has your back.
Your fate is in their hands.
And vice versa.
I would
go through fire and water
for them any day.
Literally.
[indistinct beeping]
[melancholy music playing]
[Vincent chuckles]
[inhales deeply]
[sighs]
I'm getting all emotional
just thinking about it.
[sighs]
[chuckling] Hi, everyone.
NEXT TIME
- Forgive me.
- Go away!
- Noah?
- Noah!
[Maaike] I'm glad you're here.
[sniffling]
You can see it coming!
They're looking for me! They want my head.
Bullshit, yeah? Fuck off!
- You played me.
- You came to me.
PREVIOUSLY
It's her job to write that stuff.
[Patrick] These maps are a perfect set.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yet still
There are no pipes here.
That's exactly my point.
Wait, don't tell me.
If it wasn't for us, you'd be behind bars.
I notified the press. It wasn't Steve.
Assistant Knockaert, best wishes.
[all clapping]
Do you know if they
only check for alcohol?
You're suspended by the district board.
CAN WE TALK SOMETIME?
ACTUALLY TALK
[inaudible]
We need that boat, remember that!
Shutting it down.
Look. The documents should be there.
They might force us to pack up any day.
To be an assistant, you must build trust!
[intense music playing]
A NETFLIX SERIES
Anouk! Xander! Wake up now!
Check. Check.
Officers, outside!
Claudia, get your flashlight!
[Vincent] When you're in charge
as assistant,
it's of vital importance
to stay calm and focused.
So it's perfectly clear to everyone
what they're supposed to do.
- Get in position.
- [kids coughing]
- Check.
- [Xander] Where's Mom?
[panting] She's coming.
[Vincent] One detail off,
and it all goes to hell,
and people will die.
But you realize that
as soon as this job begins.
- [Claudia panting]
- That was too close.
But you're alive.
[Vincent] But what you can do is train.
Train and push your times.
How was it?
It was a good
but it didn't break our record.
Go on, go to bed.
- [Claudia] All right
- [Vincent exhales]
- Sleep well.
- [kids] Good night.
- See you tomorrow.
- [Vincent] See you tomorrow.
[Vincent exhales]
Hey.
You all right?
Hey.
- Assistant.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
Come.
[Vincent] Your team comes first.
[chuckles]
Your team, that's the most
important thing. It's everything.
It's your family.
You know? You have to
blindly put your life in their hands.
Yeah. Honesty and trust.
Trust them always.
And that's it.
[knocking at door]
[Jitske] Yeah?
[Tom] Hi there. Hey, Jitske.
Tom.
I didn't know you were coming today.
Yeah, I was in the neighborhood,
- so I thought I'd pop in.
- [chuckles]
And I wanted to have a word with you.
Okay.
Okay.
UNDER FIRE
[fire crackling]
Uh [chuckles]
A good fireman, well, um
A good fireman is
always ready to help others.
Yeah, you always have to be able
to put yourself second.
[Tom] Sorry about that.
There was a huge line downstairs.
This doesn't look very good.
They should really start
serving some better food here.
Jitske?
- Jitske.
- Hmm? [gasps]
[exclaims]
Oh, my God. So sorry.
I fell asleep for a moment.
- No biggy.
- Mmm.
[sighs] I had a very intense dream.
What did you dream about?
It's always the same dream, my accident.
[tense music playing]
I go back inside my car, and I
I want to step out,
but the door is jammed.
And I'm also terribly hot,
and there's a lot of smoke.
And I see the driver getting out
of his car and walking towards me.
And then?
Then nothing.
I don't remember, it was a hit-and-run.
And frankly, I really hope that I
never, and I mean never,
have to meet the person
that did this to me.
[cup shatters]
You okay?
Yeah, uh, I dropped the tea.
[sniffs] So stupid.
Jitske
I need to talk to you.
Yeah?
[Tom] I think that integrity
is one of the most important qualities
a good firefighter should possess.
You must be trustworthy to others.
[mellow music playing]
[chuckling] What were you going to say?
No, uh No, actually, it's nothing.
I can't even remember.
Listen, um, I really need to go.
Will you be around?
Uh, no, I'm going to the movies
and the swimming pool, and
Just kidding, I'll be staying here.
Okay.
[door closes]
See ya.
BZIO
REHABILITATION CENTER
[cell phone ringing]
What?
Yeah, sure. See you there. Bye.
[Tom] If you're not really into it,
or don't have good intentions,
you won't be able to do the job well.
If you don't put your heart into it,
you shouldn't do it.
- Hey, Vincent.
- Why are you here?
Please take a look at this, will you?
I can't operate it.
I'm barely able to find the power button.
I took it from central command.
This is Gilbert's computer.
- You're crazy.
- Huh?
You broke into central command
to steal his computer?
He's gone to a conference.
He won't be back for a few days.
Vincent, take a look.
The documents should be in there.
- They might force us to pack it up.
- What do you mean?
Nobody knows yet, but Gilbert
wants East Bank station disabled.
He plans to merge us with another station.
What?
He was working on it for a long time.
I've prevented it so far, but
How? He didn't even
discuss it with us first.
Gilbert has power.
And with me suspended,
it'll be easy for him.
- So, what now?
- Well, just take a look inside.
We gotta find dirt on Gilbert pronto.
- And, uh, shh, keep it to yourself.
- Yeah.
- Got it? Take a look, I'll call you later.
- Yeah.
- Really do it, though.
- [exhales] Yeah.
[softly] Let him call me sometime
instead of you. Come on.
Good morning.
There's something I'd like to say.
As you know, today's officially
my first day as assistant,
and despite everything,
I hope we can get off on the right foot.
As far as I'm concerned, that just means
you'll follow the rules more carefully.
For example, we'll leave
our phones in the lockers
before we go to an intervention.
Give me a break.
Tommy, could you put
your phone down for a moment?
Yeah.
[Vincent] Thanks.
- Gio, yours too.
- [keypad clacking]
- [message tone chimes]
- Yeah. What's the deal?
Come on. I'm trying to
hook up with this girl. She's a vegan.
She likes kelp. She's crazy about seaweed.
She never eats snacks, I guess.
Wow. Yeah, she's just like you.
Is she really? Good luck with that, Gio.
Now put your phone away.
Thanks. See you at roll call.
Go, Gio.
[cell phone clatters]
[Gio sighs]
Yeah, all right. Listen up, friends
[Nina] Colleagues.
[Vincent] Okay, today's planning. Uh
- Orlando
- [Gio] Whoa.
Hold on for a minute.
Excuse me, Assistant,
but isn't that a smartphone in your hand?
Um, yes, but I'm the assistant, Gio.
Our protocols are pretty clear.
- Executives can use their phone.
- Heads don't follow rules?
[Nina] Stop it.
Keep in mind
that we'll do everything digitally now.
We're going to use less paper
and work more efficiently.
Right. Cool news
from central command, everybody.
Alissa from Public Relations
is coming over to interview you
- Oh, no. Please don't do that to us.
- Oh, God. To say what?
- [Tom] I'm not good with interviews.
- Hey. It won't hurt to promote our work.
These videos will be used online
to improve our image a bit.
It's necessary after all that's happened.
- Look, even if it's to
- That make-up doll from central command?
I'll ask her some questions as well.
I'll say, "Do you like fish?"
And she'll say, "Yeah."
And then I'll say,
"I enjoy feasting on a mussel too."
- [Henri laughs]
- Ha ha ha.
Gio, listen.
Just don't get any complaints
about lack of humor because
It's a good joke, right?
- Best of luck today.
- Yeah.
[Gio clicks tongue]
[Noelle] What's gotten into you, Gio?
God damn.
Think I look good, do you?
It will do.
Very well. Make yourself comfortable.
I'll ask you a few questions.
O, uh
First can I ask you a question, please?
- Yeah.
- Do you like fish?
No. I'm a vegan.
- So no fish?
- No.
I thought maybe we could go
for mussels and fries sometime.
White wine sauce, shallots.
Because we're close to the sea.
Hey, wait. Are you the guy
that blew up on social media?
Yeah. You're the guy with the defective
fire hose at the retirement home.
Hey, you got a lot of views, don't you?
[clicks tongue]
Not the best way to promote the fire
department, but those hits add up.
Very well.
Gio, why did you join the department?
I joined the department for the action,
the adrenaline,
the danger lurking behind every corner.
- Life between death and hope.
- [siren wailing]
Hey, shouldn't we request
helicopter assistance?
Huh? Or maybe we should call the army?
Don't even think about going without the
bomb squad. The elevator could explode.
What is it, Gio?
Four of us in the truck
due to a stupid elevator.
- Come on. You got to admit that's
- S-O-P, Gio.
S-O-P. We always turn out with four men.
We should've done that three years ago.
If something had happened,
they would've blamed the station.
Do you want that on your conscience, huh?
- That's what I thought.
- Call the press and that's it.
What do you think?
"Hospital's elevator stuck."
Boom, front page guaranteed.
Or you can call your connection, Vince.
So you can drag Steve
through the mud again.
Hey, Vince? What do you think?
[solemn music playing]
[Alissa] Gonzales, I'm gonna
ask you some questions,
but maybe it'd help if you try to relax.
Loosen up, be yourself,
just let it happen. Organic, natural
Yeah, ma'am here's
gonna tell me how to sit. [scoffs]
Better?
All right. You wanna begin?
Sorry.
I have a lot on my mind.
What do you, um, need to hear?
You've received paramedic training.
Perhaps it'd be nice if you
said something about that
for future recruits who may be watching.
[Nina] Um It takes some serious balls
to do this job, that's for sure.
This is definitely
not for the faint-hearted.
GRÉGOIR
YOU KNOW WHAT WE'VE GOT
If blood makes you squeamish, stay home.
IF YOU DON'T WANT THIS TO GO TO
THE POLICE YOU'D BETTER HELP US
[Tom over recording] Fuck
You have to
You have to help me. Fuck! Shit.
I just had an accident. Shit.
Fuck. I'm high as a kite.
Suddenly the car was there.
Fucking hell. Damn it!
I tried to open the door,
but it was stuck, for God's sake.
It was stuck, God damn it!
Some people showed up,
so I just drove off.
You guys have got to help me.
Seriously, you've got to help me.
I don't know what to do.
[dialogue continues indistinctly]
[solemn music playing]
[breathing heavily]
[sobbing]
[Nina] As a paramedic, you have to
be able to control every single emotion.
If you let things get to you,
you're not gonna make it.
And you'd go through a pretty dark tunnel,
and you really don't want that.
[Vincent] Hey, Tom.
Tommy. Come here.
We'll take care of it right away.
Thank you, ma'am.
Go to reception, ask for
the technician's number and call.
- Okay.
- Thank you, Tom.
- No problem.
- Uh-huh.
[patient] Choo-choo-choo-choo-choo.
He seems to have lost his marbles.
He's crazy as a loon, isn't he? [chuckles]
Show some respect. This is
a psychiatric ward. What did you expect?
Follow me and open that elevator.
Bokkie, go to the control room.
- Yo.
- Let's go, Gio!
Tom, any word on where the mechanics are?
[man screaming]
And find out who's in that elevator,
because it doesn't sound good, huh?
Thank you, sir.
- [Gio] Blast it open?
- Blast it open.
Bokkie, shut the electricity off. I don't
want this to reset while we're working.
[Boris] I'm not an idiot, Chief!
I'm not an idiot, "Assistant"!
Got the key?
[man crying]
[man screaming]
Help me out, Gio.
Yeah.
[Vincent grunts] That's it.
We need to wait for the thing to move.
That opening's too small to get him out.
[man crying]
Hey, listen. You hear that?
Sounds like there's
one of those loonies inside.
I bet he's pressing
all the buttons at once.
They're people just like you,
they just need some more help. Here.
[screaming continues]
I'm Assistant Knockaert
from the fire department!
We'll help you! Stay away from the doors.
We're going to pull them open
as soon as we can.
[screaming continues]
[tense music playing]
And where did you get Tom's phone?
[Tom over recording] Fuck
You've got to help me. I Fuck! Shit.
Fuck. Those people God damn it.
They're most likely dead. Fuck.
- [Nina] Orlando
- Shh.
[Tom panting]
[Vincent] Yeah.
[both grunting]
- [man crying]
- Fuck.
Hey! Relax!
Tell me your name. What's your name?
What's your name?
- Mathis.
- [Vincent] Mathis.
Mine is Vincent. I'm a fireman.
We'll get you out, all right?
- [Mathis] Yeah.
- [Vincent] Yes.
[Tom] Assistant?
I just got off the phone,
but all the mechanics are out on calls,
so it'll be a couple of hours.
- Yeah.
- And I spoke with a nurse
and the man who's in there
has mental problems.
He's been having a lot of panic attacks,
so I think we should be careful.
Yeah. Thanks, Tommy.
- No problem.
- [Gio, indistinct]
- [Vincent] Mathis?
- [Mathis] Yes.
- You all right?
- [Mathis] Yes, I want to get out.
[Vincent] Easy now. Easy.
Let me out!
I wanna get out. They're going to die!
[Vincent] Relax!
Wait! Who's going to die?
[Mathis sobs]
My blue-tongued skinks. They're gonna die.
What's that?
- It's a lizard.
- [Vincent] Yeah?
It's a large lizard.
- What lizards?
- [Mathis] Yes.
[Vincent] What's wrong with the lizards?
They need to eat.
They should've been fed long ago.
Is that why you have these things here?
[Mathis] These are grasshoppers. They have
to get them, otherwise they'll die.
[chuckles] Can I do it for you?
You don't know how
How much they need and how to do it.
No, you're right. How much they need?
You can tell me.
- Mm. The small one
- [Vincent] Yes?
That's Darkness,
he needs two grasshoppers.
And the large one's called Widow,
and she needs three grasshoppers.
Okay, so two grasshoppers for Darkness,
and three for Widow. Am I right?
- Yeah.
- I'll do that for you.
Bring them over here.
- Yeah.
- The grasshoppers. Bring them to me.
Come on, it's okay.
Take it easy. Take it easy.
Yes, great. Yeah.
Give them to me.
Hey, Mathis, what is your room number?
- [Mathis] Twenty-six.
- Twenty-six.
I'll leave this lamp here,
so you'll have light. Yeah?
Bring these to his room,
so he can stay calm.
- Are these grasshoppers?
- [Vincent] Yeah.
No. They're disgusting, man.
I can't stand them.
And lizards, even less so.
They're the dinosaurs of our time.
- No, I'm not dealing with this.
- Put them in his room.
Listen, Vince. Just throw a rope in there,
secure it and pull him out.
What are you actually doing?
Playing babysitter, man?
Protecting animal life?
Do you know what you're doing?
Do what I told you.
Why on Earth should I trust you?
After you betrayed us!
You don't have to trust me,
but you have to listen to me,
because I'm the assistant, Gio,
so better do what I told you.
[tense music playing]
[sighs]
Hey, Mathis.
- Come closer please.
- Yeah.
[Vincent] Come here, buddy.
[over radio] This is Boris.
We have to do it manually.
Just come closer, man.
[door creaks]
[suspenseful music playing]
What the hell
Huh?
Look at these repulsive beasts.
Here, I brought you some grasshoppers.
Huh? Can't you hear me?
I'm not taking them out one by one.
You'll have to share. Share them equally.
Here's your dinner. This is gross. Yuck!
Good Lord, what a freak.
- [camera shutter clicks]
- Look, Mathis. Much better?
[Mathis] Oh.
- That's too much.
- Oh, they can feast.
Yeah, I threw in the entire container.
[Mathis] No, no.
Well, great, see you later.
Okay, then. Will you be all right?
- [Mathis] Oh, no.
- Call us if you need anything.
Gio
Gio, give me your phone.
- I'm not doing that.
- Give me your phone.
Why? Huh? What if I don't give it to you?
Will you call the press?
- What will you do?
- Give me your phone.
- What the fuck? Don't touch my phone.
- Give it to me!
- Guys!
- Give me my phone.
[Vincent groans] Fuck!
Fuck you, idiot!
You better watch out. This time
you've gone too far. I'm serious.
- [Boris] Break it up.
- Watch yourself!
[Vincent groans]
Not smart, man.
[Alissa] What's so nice
about being a firefighter?
Um, hmm
[sighs] To me, being a firefighter
is the best job in the world because
it offers everything I value in life.
Um
Camaraderie,
mutual loyalty, too, respect.
Should you call the police?
[Orlando] We go through fire
for each other.
No, wait. Let me think.
[Orlando] And, um, once you've done
an intervention together,
basically you're
like brothers and sisters.
You feel a very deep connection.
And that's very important here.
[solemn music playing]
And, um once you're part
of the firefighter family,
then we'll never abandon you.
GRÉGOIR
MEETING AT THE DOCKS!
Never. Whatever happens.
[sighs deeply]
ZODIAC
[suspenseful music playing]
[Noelle chuckles]
[Vincent] Should I get you suspended?
Listen to me very carefully.
Actually, this should go for everyone.
An intervention
should be sacred to a firefighter. Yeah?
And I don't care
if you don't wanna be friends,
but leave your frustrations at home
and your cell phone in your locker. Okay?
Okay.
[Vincent] Okay, what?
Okay Assistant.
Uh-huh.
[Nina] And where's Tom?
I'm not sure.
I think he's loading up Marvin. Why?
Nothing special.
We just wanna ask him something.
[tense music playing]
[breath trembling]
[tense music playing]
- [Simeon] Tommy boy.
- [Grégoir] Hey.
- You all right?
- What do you think, Simeon?
- And now?
- We wait.
Once we get a text, you're up.
Yeah? They'll take your boat,
navigate across the lock,
then pass through customs
Then you'll see another boat,
and once it flickers its lights,
you'll sail towards it and hand over
this bag in exchange for our package.
[bag unzips]
All right?
A hundred grand.
- Jesus Christ.
- Tommy, cocaine isn't free, you know.
Let's call it off while we still can.
- No, no.
- It's not too late.
Grégoir, I swear. We don't need to.
You told us you're gonna do it.
And the recordings?
Hey.
You know us, right?
Huh?
When it's all done here,
I'll delete everything.
I swear. Everything.
- Everything, Grégoir?
- I swear, dude.
- And you won't fuck me?
- No, I swear.
[Tom sniffs]
[sighs] Fucking hell.
Okay.
- [tense music playing]
- Oh, man.
Okay.
[sniffs]
[indistinct chatter]
- Hi.
- [woman] Yes?
Do you know a guy named Steve?
He's a firefighter and a regular here.
- Mm. No.
- No?
- No, I'm sure. Sorry.
- Thanks.
[cell phone chimes]
Okay. [clears throat] Your turn.
[sniffs]
- [car approaches]
- [siren wails]
Fuck. Fuck! The cops!
Hey, Grégoir, this way!
Did you call the fucking cops?
- Don't move! Don't move!
- Fuck!
- Come here, moron!
- Ah! Hey! Damn it.
- Come here!
- Hey, don't run!
Don't move!
- [grunts]
- Enough!
Fuck!
Hey! Having fun?
[Grégoir groans]
[panting]
[intense music playing]
[Boris] Seriously, dude?
Smuggling drugs with our Zodiac?
Very nice. Huh?
- Is there more you'd like to share?
- Bokkie, it's okay.
He informed us before
things went sideways. Okay?
Which one has the recording?
[Orlando] Who's got that phone?
- Who's got that phone?
- [groans] It's in my pocket.
[Orlando] Password?
- Password.
- Yeah. One, uh, zero, one,
zero, nine, three.
We're gonna delete it from that phone,
and from the cloud.
And in case there's another copy
of it somewhere else
Listen very carefully.
[Simeon over recording]
A hundred grand.
[Tom] Jesus Christ.
[Simeon]
Tommy, cocaine isn't free, you know.
We clear?
[Grégoir sighs]
Fuck off. Get back to Ghent.
Leave him alone.
[indistinct chatter]
Hey, Steve. I've been looking for you
for a few days now.
Can I sit? We need to talk.
You can do whatever you want.
What happened to your lip, huh?
Uh
Nothing.
Actually I'm very please, somebody else is
already giving you a piece of their mind.
That means I don't have to.
- [chuckles softly]
- [Steve chuckles]
Steve
- I want to apologize in person
- Without a beer then?
Huh?
No, I'm fine. I'll get a bottle of water.
A bottle of water?
Blackening my name, that's not a problem?
But having a beer together,
that's too much to ask?
Yeah, sorry. Beer then. Please.
Okay. Uh, Linda,
bring us two beers please.
[Tom] I don't know how to thank you all.
You have any idea how lucky you are?
If it was up to me,
it would have turned out differently.
If I catch you with the Zodiac again,
I'll kick you out of the station!
Not to mention
the other stuff you've done.
Do I make myself clear?
- I'm not trustworthy.
- Oh, really? No shit.
I guess you and Tom need to talk.
- Thanks, guys.
- All right. Let's go.
You heard that voicemail, too?
I'm a fucking idiot.
Tom, you didn't just flee the scene.
Orlando called a friend
at Ghent's police station.
They said they found that girl and
her parents lying next to the car wreck.
They were unconscious, okay,
but someone had pulled them out of there.
That vehicle was on fire, Tom.
You did what you could.
That's all you could do.
I wish I could
make things right for Jitske.
Honesty in this case
is the only right thing to do.
You should confess everything
to the lieutenant and Jitske.
[solemn music playing]
You're right.
I know what I have to do.
And us?
[sighs] Tom, I don't I really don't know.
You've lied to me.
I can't trust you anymore.
I I really like you, but
This is not for me. Not like this.
I wanted to do what's best
for East Bank station,
and that press leak resulted
in you getting dragged down.
That was never my intention.
Can you forgive me?
That was so stupid.
- Yeah, I didn't imagine
- Oh, and really, really low.
- Those firecams I just wanted to
- You don't know how lucky you are.
For finding me this late.
I would not have been this friendly.
Relax. We all make mistakes.
I've made a lot of mistakes, too.
[sighs]
You all know. I was a fat egoist.
But now Now you are.
You want some advice?
From an ex-assistant to an assistant?
You should be able to look
your crew straight in the eyes.
Yeah.
And if you can't,
you're not worthy of respect.
And without respect,
you can't do your job, period.
And if you, as an assistant,
aren't able do your job,
then people will die.
You can make mistakes.
That's okay. It happens.
But you have to admit them.
And if you get the chance
to make things right
you must do so.
That's how you earn respect.
- I'm bullshitting or what?
- No.
I hear you.
I'm out of here.
Thanks for the talk.
Now I know what I have to do.
[gripping music playing]
[sighs]
[mouse clicking]
Shit.
[keyboard clacking]
[intense music playing]
[opens drawer]
[keyboard clacking]
- [Orlando] Hey.
- Hi.
- I'm sorry about the delay.
- Don't worry.
Ouch! Help me out?
[Orlando sighs]
[Maaike chuckles]
[lighter clicks]
- [Orlando] Three?
- Mm-hmm.
That's the number of candles
she'll be blowing.
- Three for her third birthday.
- Yes, exactly.
So on her 16th,
you're gonna light 16 candles?
So?
I don't know. Isn't that a bit
- [sighs]
- A bit what?
[sighs] I don't know.
Isn't that a bit weird?
What's the point?
To you that doesn't make any sense.
You just forget about these things.
Damn, Maaike.
That's just not true.
I think about it every day.
Every day. Not just today.
But I'm not gonna act
like she's still alive.
Like she's here with us, growing older.
That's bullshit.
I'm sorry for trying
to find a way to cope with it.
You never even tried to mourn.
How would you know?
Where's her grave?
Where's your daughter's grave?
[scoffs]
You don't even know. You don't even
You didn't even show up at her funeral.
[Maaike scoffs]
I'm going home.
You're right. This is stupid.
[sighs]
[somber music playing]
Patrick, it's Vinny. I dropped
by your place, but you're not home.
I found some things on that computer,
and it isn't what you think it is.
Can you call me back? Bye.
[sighs]
[cell phone ringing]
- Yo, Vince.
- Hey, do you know where Patrick is?
No, why? You okay?
Patrick and the station are in deep shit.
They'll shut us down.
- What?
- Orlando, listen.
Gilbert wants our station
to merge with Gistel.
- Are you kidding? How do you know?
- That's not all. Gilbert is a dirty rat.
Patrick handed me a computer,
and I found stuff on it.
Motherfucker!
Wait a minute.
There's something in the water here!
- Vince?
- Oh, my God!
I've just seen a car in the canal! Fuck!
Fuck! There's a car in the water here
at the Slipwaykaai! Call Gistel station!
[tense music playing]
Fuck!
Yo, Vincent?
Fuck!
[car gurgling]
Vince?
[doorbell chimes]
- Hello?
- [over intercom] Hey, uh, it's Tom.
Tom?
[intense music playing]
[Vincent] If you work
for the fire department,
it's important to always be on high alert.
You need to be at the top
of your game, every single day.
[solemn music playing]
Because every single day,
people's lives are at stake.
[muffled screaming]
And at those moments,
every single detail counts.
And details cost time.
And time is your biggest enemy.
One second too early,
or one second too late
can separate life from death.
Life is very fragile.
And as a firefighter,
you're perfectly aware of that.
I'm sorry
to disturb you at this hour, but, uh
But what? What is it?
It's something that can't wait.
I'm here to resign. I need to quit.
Wait, uh Let's just sit down.
That's very sweet, Dominique,
but I My mind's made up.
I've decided.
This is my resignation.
[Tom sniffs]
- Yeah, but
- I've explained everything in this letter.
We're not gonna do it like this.
Lieutenant, thanks for everything.
You've always treated me well.
Goodbye.
[Dominique]
Hey, we're not gonna do it like this!
[door closes]
[cell phone ringing]
Orlando?
[solemn music playing]
[hesitates] Wait, just Uh
What exactly happened?
[Vincent] But the most important thing
are your teammates.
When things go wrong in an intervention,
you know your team has your back.
Your fate is in their hands.
And vice versa.
I would
go through fire and water
for them any day.
Literally.
[indistinct beeping]
[melancholy music playing]
[Vincent chuckles]
[inhales deeply]
[sighs]
I'm getting all emotional
just thinking about it.
[sighs]
[chuckling] Hi, everyone.
NEXT TIME
- Forgive me.
- Go away!
- Noah?
- Noah!
[Maaike] I'm glad you're here.
[sniffling]
You can see it coming!
They're looking for me! They want my head.
Bullshit, yeah? Fuck off!
