Code 37 (2009) s01e12 Episode Script

Monique, if you are looking for condoms, you know where they are, huh.
Come on, baby.
You're the best.
Where is it? Overthere? - You take that bastard anyway? Hi, girls.
Don't worry.
- The victim's called Eva Meskens.
Sandy to customers.
- Monique Vekemans found her.
Of the window next to her.
She asked for you.
Monique's been around for years.
- You know them all.
Only the old ones.
Charles comes to stay every week.
- Every day.
Give the people some space.
Let those people through.
Come.
Come.
Come.
- Calm down, ma'am.
Come, come.
Tell me.
Tell me.
Tell me.
- I heard her screaming for me.
I went to her right away.
She lay on the ground and I turned her over.
Did you see someone walk away? - No, dammit, no.
I called the ambulance immediately.
- What time was that? 09:45, I think.
Ms.
- Did she have a customer? That will do, certainly.
- You work next to each other? I'm so busy I don't stop to look who comes in for her, bitch.
I'll leave you here alone.
- Soon she'll suspect me.
You must grab the bastard.
- We're going to do it.
Eva? Eva, Did you see anything? Did you see anyone? Yes? Who was it? Who was your last client? Who? Walter and what else? - Clear the way, please.
If we look closely, is actually a Peter's Cross.
It may be a psychopath.
- A wacko knife fighter who disfigures whores.
Cool.
- The story goes Peter, as in this magnificent Caravaggio, wanted to be crucified upside down, because he felt unworthy to die like Christ.
Hallelujah.
- Bob, Bob.
That has nothing to do with satanism? Then the true symbol for evil.
Then it's the inverse of good.
Look Guys, don't start floating, huh.
It's just a fool with a knife.
Satanism.
What else? That is "I know not how" current.
One of the death metal groups.
They contribute - Kevin.
Check whether other prostitutes were disfigured in this way.
Do we know more about Walter? According to the girls he can be Walter Vanpraet.
They saw him last week.
A whore heard him say his name when he started and when he finished.
Really? - Is he a regular customer? I have his address.
He lives in Ghent.
- Let him continue.
Look for Walter.
Can we interrogate Eve yet? - No.
call the hospital.
Keep me informed.
- Yeah.
Why do you always call the whores "girls"? Why do I call you, my colleague and not "moron"? Thank you.
See? Exactly the same.
Hopefully you'll be there this time.
I visited Eva this morning.
- What time did you leave there? 09:30.
- 09:30.
You remember that so well.
- I paid for half an hour.
It doesn't take long.
- Do you visit often? When I feel like it.
I'm not ashamed.
I live alone.
- Do you know what a Peter's Cross is? Pardon? - A Peter's Cross.
Do you know that? No.
- No.
Where were you at 09:45? With dad in the home.
De Krekel.
- Five minutes from the Chaussée.
Anyone there see you? - I think so, yes.
Hopefully, huh? He's been here a long time.
Voilà.
Here, you see.
Eduard, you have a visitor.
Good day, Mr.
Vanpraet.
He had a stroke two years ago.
He's physically okay, but his memory is affected and he also contact disorder.
Sometimes he doesn't recognize his own son.
Walter comes here every day to visit, huh.
Cake.
- What's he saying? Cake.
- Francine.
Good day, Francine.
What about security? - I'm not Francine, you know.
Jos, leave the people alone.
Come on, go.
Go eat some cake.
Security My principle is: Confidence is beautiful, but control is better.
What would happen if they could just walk in and out.
So? - We close the door electronically.
And there is video surveillance.
- Can we get those images from this morning? - Of course.
Tasty, hey, Eduard.
- Goodbye, Mr.
Vanpraet.
If it's like this, give me an leathal injection.
Can you rewind to 09:30? Here.
There you see.
- Walter Vanpraet, yes.
Can you fast forward to the moment when he leaves? Good.
Eva Meskens? Hannah Maes.
Sexual Crime Unit.
My colleague Ruiters.
That's my daughter Naomi.
Good day, Naomi.
Could you just Charles.
Come, Naomi.
Say goodbye to Mom.
We'll be back, you know.
She's good, girl.
- Tell me.
Do you remember anything? No.
It all happened so fast.
I got struck and I fell down.
I have also I've only seen his eyes in the mirror, but for the rest Guys - Shall I call a nurse? Hold on.
Do I look pretty, for sure? Nowadays, they can do lots with plastic surgery.
Sorry.
- That's okay.
It gets a bit too much for me.
We spoke to Walter Vanpraet.
What do you know about him? He conducts a job interview each time before he crawls on me.
Asking those questions.
- What does he do? Sorry.
Yes Why I started in the job, how long I've been a whore, how many guys I already did Isn't that weird? - No.
You have all kinds.
You have men who say what they can't to their wives and Walter is a questioner.
He's really interested in me.
Damn.
That's foolish.
- Is Walter Vanpraet in love with you? Is Vanpraet in love with you? Last week he asked how long I'd stay in the job.
He said I was too good to be a whore.
That's usually a sign, huh? - Yes.
What did you say? - That I loved my job.
Is that so? No, he's not involved.
- Do you know anyone wanting to harm you? - Lots.
Colleagues? We aren't friends.
We all want lot's of customers and aren't afraid to steal other's customers, but to do something like this Damn.
Remco? Remco.
Who is that? - Remco Dooghe.
A pimp.
Who wanted 40% of the profits last week.
Did you accept? - I showed him the door.
The dick.
Remco Dooghe is the dregs of society.
He's the biggest pimp but we can't prove he's a pimp.
I knew it.
- Then we'll grab him now.
Now? - Yes, now.
Great.
500 for four days.
Is that all? For three days, but because the cops fewer John's are here.
I'll come back.
Come here.
Come.
Remco.
Long time no see.
We need to talk.
Just go through.
- Why do you walk? When I see cops A habit.
Why are you bothering me? When I see your face.
Also a habit.
Eva Meskens.
What about her? - Did you cut her face? Why would I do that? - Because she didn't want protection? What do you say now? I'm a pimp? What is that? Is that for your beautiful eyes? A loan that's repaid.
Is that criminal? If I could offer protection, Bob, and if Eva had accepted, it wouldn't have happened.
Who says you're not that crazy? - Go ahead and I'll lodge a complaint defamation and libel.
- Where were you this morning at 9:45 am? Chloe.
- Who is Chloe? That blonde there.
Fine meats has always been your specialty.
And also large game, huh? - Come, guy.
What did you do with Chloe? What does a guy do with a whore? - That we'll check out.
Hold on.
I'll give a tip.
Get those two made bigger.
Then you can earn serious money here.
If I ever earn any money, it won't be yours.
Take his statement.
Come on, forward.
The show is over.
Go to work.
Chloe, we want a minute.
- No.
Soon there will be customers.
If you go with me, you'll earn nothing.
- It's about Eva, okay.
But listen, I had really nothing to I had really nothing to do, but I'm glad she's gone.
Why? - Honey, the competition is intense.
Where were you this morning? - Home.
Remco said you were together.
- Right.
He slept at my place.
Are those bruises from Remco? - No.
Remco's your pimp and you daren't say.
- Thick bullshit.
I am sick of your attention.
How can I now earn a living? Come on.
You were soliciting.
- I went to buy cigarettes and Cops dragged me into their patrol car.
- A pack of cigarettes? Yes.
- Monique.
They've arrested you in the doorway of a building with a guy who admitted he paid 20 euros for a hand job.
Why do you work outside the Chaussée d'Amour? What were you doing there? Things aren't as good.
All the girls are a lot younger there.
I waited hours for a customer.
Maybe I'd have more luck on the street.
Can't you tear up the charge, Inspector Ruiters? Monique - Please.
So that doesn't work, huh.
But yes, I I can ask the prosecutor to close it.
My boss must agree.
- You'll really do that for me? If you'd like to do something for me.
Tell me how to please you.
What do you like? I'd like you to works for us.
An informant.
Keep your eyes and ears open.
And occasionally I'll let you know.
Mr.
Judge, it is up to you.
- I have nothing to say.
She has nothing to do with it.
This can stop here and now, but there must be something in return.
It's not about her but about me.
- Right.
All the more reason to talk.
What is it? What's wrong? Nothing.
Hannah, don't do stupid things.
Be careful.
It would help if I knew what I should be careful of.
Who were those men, daddy? They wanted something from you.
Who were they? You're better off, not knowing.
Believe me.
Any similar cases found? - I went back years.
Nothing appears on Peter's Cross.
- You should search for an e-mail address.
Weduwe@gff.
es.
- I want to know who emailed me.
I need the approval of the prosecutor.
I don't have it.
Then computer crime won't do it.
- That's why I'm asking you to do it.
But I can't Has this anything to do with that pimp? Hi.
Good day, baby.
Say, it's settled, eh.
You are officially registered as an informant.
Thanks for working.
I didn't have much choice.
Who'd have thought? In my old age working for the cops.
Dieter will be proud.
- Dieter Is that your guy? My son.
Fifteen.
He studies Latin and Greek.
He wants to be a doctor.
Yes, and the father? Yes, it is Who Who or what is - Good.
Come, business.
What do you want to know? - Remco Dooghe.
It's difficult if you don't want to work for him.
For me that's not an issue.
I've seen enough chaps in those pants pass by.
How is he with the girls who work for him? They are afraid of him, because they get knocked down.
And he has loose hands.
Last week he beat up Chloe.
Walter took her to hospital.
Walter? Walter Vanpraet? He seems a courteous man.
A gentleman.
Like you.
A gentleman, eh? Oh no, a gentleman whistles.
So.
Good.
Good.
- No.
May I ask something? Yes.
- What about Mrs.
Ruiters? That's past.
Such a nice guy and alone.
That isn't healthy.
Many things aren't healthy.
Better content alone than unhappy together.
Fortunately, with two it's much, much better.
If you have to go to buy cigarettes, yes.
Come on, dad, it's peach.
Yes.
I brought Chloe to the emergency, yes.
Did she tell you what happened? - Her pimp.
Doore.
- Dooghe.
That fool hit her because she hadn't earned enough.
I have tried to convince her to lodge a complaint, but she daren't.
Not everyone would take a hooker to the hospital.
Did you see how he hit Chloe? - No, I didn't see it.
Come on, dad.
- You passed there by chance.
I want to choose a girl.
At that moment Chloe walked outside.
She was all over What should a man do? - Go to the hospital.
I didn't beat Chloe.
- Bullshit.
She had bruised ribs, arms - She walked into a door.
She walked into the closet, she said.
- That's what she said to us.
Because she is afraid of you.
- Afraid? I only hit women in bed.
If they ask.
Not on their arms or ribs, but on their asses.
try it sometime? You may like it.
Did someone see me beat Chloe? Has anyone filed a complaint? You have nothing against me.
Am I right or am I right? Another thing, Remco.
A Peter's Cross - What is that? A new position? The only cross that interests me, is my crotch.
Yes.
We knew that already, thank you.
Good.
Inspector Desmet will take you outside and search you.
Bob? If you want to go, Mr.
Dooghe.
- Was Remco here last night or has been today? - No.
He beat you again, huh? - But no.
Then why the sunglasses? - I have an eye infection.
Whatever.
Chloe, file a complaint.
Then we can finally pick up that bastard.
Remco is my friend.
- He's your pimp.
He takes away half your earnings.
- How much you earn per day? Doesn't matter.
- Yes it is.
When my room is running, I earn 500 euros per day.
500.
I used to stand in the supermarket deli.
Serving people the whole day, the boss put his salami between your legs This is paradise.
I have another question.
That is an advanced eye infection.
I had a accident with a customer.
Which customer? Tim.
The subnormal.
Hey, Charlie.
Do you know anything more about Eva? - Vanessa, we're working on it.
75.
Seven cents? Here you see.
My favorite cop.
And you're my favorite Can you tell me about a certain Tim? Tim.
The subnormal.
That's odd.
Chloe called him that.
Why? Timmeke's about twenty.
Physically normal.
Handsome guy, actually.
You still haven't changed.
But upstairs, Tim hasn't got a full load.
A fool.
A real one or just a mentally retarded? I don't know exactly what's amiss, but he's notorious on the street.
Have you had him? As a customer? - Yes.
No.
But he's been with Eva and Chloe.
When Eva? Are you sure? I've often seen him go inside.
Hannah, it's Kevin.
Say, in connection with that e-mail Weduwe@gff.
es.
You expect that from Spain, but it can equally well be Belgium.
What do you know for sure? gff is registered nowhere as a domain name.
I get 14 million hits on Google.
Digital photocopying, construction, DNA, fish You don't have to mention all 14 million.
And widow? I've even less.
I really don't know what I can do.
Is that all? - Give me a police report number and I'll send it up to computer crime.
Can't you do anything more with the computer? - Normally I can do more.
It isn't an official case.
Let me see that email, then we can Thank you, Kevin.
Hi, Kevin.
Come to the hospital.
- Wait a minute.
What is that? What is what? Yes.
Tim Vlaeminck.
He visited me for a few months.
Every other week.
And now? No.
Now he goes to Chloe.
- Is he aggressive? Basically, Tim basically a good kid.
He sometimes gives Chloe a black eye.
- Yes, that's true.
Sometimes he doesn't know when his hour is up, and he's difficult to get to leave.
How does a mentally handicapped guy come to the whores? By car.
Yes, I don't ask my clients questions.
That's true, eh, Charles? And certainly not his father.
- In a Yes.
He comes to drop him off and pick him up.
Our Tim was nearly strangled at the birth.
The umbilical cord was wrong.
He had oxygen cut off to his brain.
What is your favorite character? - Girls.
Is that real? - He has an IQ of 40.
Moderate retardation they call it.
Why do you take him to the Chaussée d'Amour? On the advice of his psychiatrist.
Voilà.
I reacted like that too when he proposed it.
Tim is grown up now.
He has sexual needs.
He oggled girls on the street How often do you bring it to there? - Every two weeks.
Once a week if he - Has the urge.
Is restless.
It's that or internment.
I got the impression you don't approve of the therapy.
Can that be? If you are a father you must send your son to a Whore.
- Girl.
A madam.
- Can also be.
That's a cross I must bear for the rest of my life.
Hi, Tim.
Can we ask you a few questions? Well, boy.
Put it down.
- Say.
What happened this morning to Chloe? That's the new one, yes.
Did you beat her? Chloe didn't know Tim didn't know her.
I tried to explain to her what was going on, but it was a misunderstanding.
The half hour was up, he wanted more He gave her a slap.
- Yes.
He formerly went to Eva, huh? Yes.
And why did you change that? Come on, he changed it? The same happened there.
- Oops.
Is Tim getting more aggressive? - No.
He is a good.
Eh? Yes.
Has he attacked anyone with a knife? He doesn't dare even cut a sandwich.
And, Mr.
Vlaeminck, what do you do when he has a girl? I wait outside, sir.
He is never alone on the Chaussée.
- Of course not.
He can't do.
He can't orient himself.
Where was he yesterday between 9 and 10? At the recycling center.
He works there.
I picked him up at 09:30.
Has Tim seen drawings of a Peter's Cross? - Such an inverted cross? No.
Hey, Tim, what are you drawing? A naked lady.
- Tits.
The psychiatrist confirms the story of the father.
This therapy isn't special.
An active sex life reduces the urge for aggression.
You're not that aggressive.
His alibi isn't completely waterproof.
- This proves nothing anyway? No.
The recycling center to the Chaussée d'Amour This can be less than fifteen minutes on foot.
Serge took Tim there at 09:30.
Tim could have been with Eva at 09:45.
Someone with moderate retardation can't methodically disfigure.
Are you speaking from experience or what? Yes.
My youngest brother has the same condition.
Such a person reacts impulsively.
I can't see him walking from the centre to the Chaussée and back.
With all due respect to Kevin, perhaps Tim is less crazy than we think.
Yes.
And the psychiatrist is paid by Tim.
Please, huh.
We know more about Chloe? - High school incomplete.
Twelve stealing, thirteen assaults.
Single.
Unmarried mother.
Does she have a child? - A son.
Four years old.
Then she has a motive.
She has two mouths to fill.
She wouldn't disfigure Eva for that.
- She said she couldn't stand Eva, she is competition Monique, can you tell us anything? Your lover.
- Informante.
Whore.
- Whatever.
Girl.
- Come on, huh.
Say.
Now don't think we think you have something going with Monique.
I'll take my pants off.
Than fuck you with my rattle.
I've just eaten.
Thank you.
- Do that at home.
Or with Monique.
Eva and Chloe can't stand each other.
Certainly not since that stuff with Mr.
Perfect.
Mr.
Perfect.
Who is that? A British businessman who slips into Ghent once a month.
But who pays very, very well.
But he does set standards.
Not older than 30, anal, swallowing Who does that sound like, right? - Chloe.
Is that Chloe? Mr.
Perfect penetrates easily.
But for 1000 euros a night.
Hello.
Cigarette? - Please.
Did Chloe and Eve quarrel about Mr.
Perfect? First he used to come to Chloe.
Until Chloe was busy with another customer.
Eva made him wise she was busy and gave her pampering tips.
Did he go in? - All the way.
Eva knows her craft.
What did Chloe do when she found out? - She freaked out.
Remco had to keep the two apart.
Milk? Sugar? He has to compensate her.
Thanks for the coffee.
- Anytime.
Thousand euros extra per month isn't bad for a single mother.
That gives Chloe a motive.
Eva pee'd in the stew.
That girl is disfigured, huh.
She can't do her job any longer.
Come on.
Chloe wanted revenge on Eva.
She knows everyone here in and out.
And she's a whore, so she doesn't stand out.
- Is she there? No.
She did it? - I think so.
Hello, doll.
What does it cost? What does it cost? So much you can't pay.
- Yes.
Come, piss off.
What the fuck.
Maybe you haven't you seen my "Jos"? Shit.
Damn.
Upstairs, Charles.
Fuck.
Are we stupid? To sit drinking coffee with the neighbours.
Goddamn.
That guy is gone.
Is she still alive? - Call an ambulance.
Sorry.
Fuck.
Yes, in here.
It is here.
Go on inside.
Yes, I'll say.
Bob and Kevin have arrested Remco.
Okay.
Check if someone saw anything.
I'll just I'll handle it.
Take it easy.
Back up people, please.
It was exactly the same method.
We've got a serial mutilator.
The press will jump on it.
When can Chloe be interviewed? No more tonight.
She's sedated in the hospital.
Are there any suspects? - Remco Dooghe was at the dentist.
Walter Vanpraet was with his father when Eve was disfigured.
And Tim? The subnormal? - His alibi doesn't ring entirely true.
And today we still have to check.
- His psychiatrist says so people who rail against whores are sexually frustrated.
Usually by a childhood trauma.
- In Quantico we had such a case.
We found the offender through profiling.
- We always profile the analysis.
Profiling goes further.
If you don't know anything about it, keep quiet.
In profiling you start with the profile of the victim.
You bring it in contact with each other, and map it out.
Parents, children, how they look, social skills, state of mind parents, have they children You try to match that with the possible perpetrators.
With a conscious or unconscious motive.
What? We'll do it.
Tomorrow.
- Thank you.
I'm going to sleep.
- Do that.
Turn the flashlight off.
Turn the flashlight off or I won't say anything.
Who are you? How do you know Benny Quintens is dead? What do you know about the robbery? I'm talking to you.
- We'll do this my way.
Put the gun down.
What happened at your home eight years ago, still has consequences today.
Why did you come here? - I want to help you with your investigation.
Why don't you just tell everything you know? I'm going give you tips and you handle it as if you discovered everything yourself.
What do you know about Quintens' companions? Nothing.
They were masked.
Find out when they escaped.
Everyone who escaped was recaptured or died.
Have you seen their corpses? - No.
Are they still alive? What do you know about them? Give me the names.
Give me something.
Where can I find them? Hello? Come on, say.
Okay.
Similarities between the two.
- They are both prostitutes.
Yes.
Whores.
Both 20 and 30.
- They work on the Chaussée.
They have one child.
- They are blonde.
Blonde.
- They have Oops, that Tim.
He went with both.
- Both disfigured with Peter's Crosses.
Perhaps the a religious fundamentalist.
We are talking about the victims.
Facts.
Not speculation.
Such a cross may mean anything.
It's a common religious symbol.
Kevin, again working Peter and Jesus with you? I have checked the Vlaeminck family.
The father hasn't told us everything.
8 years ago, Tim was charged for rape.
During a sailing class the good boy sexually assaulted a girl.
Good Tim.
Good day.
- Where can I find the office? These stairs.
- I'll go look there.
You chat with these people? - Yes.
Hi, Tim.
How are you? Hard at work, I see.
Remember me? I have a few questions.
Were you at Chloe's last night? You know, that beautiful girl.
That you find a sweet, huh? I thought so Oops.
It's good.
Let me go release.
Voilà.
We talk first and then we cuddle.
Have you visited us at Very sweet.
But we are here today Tim, now don't do that.
If you don't stop touching me, I'll hurt you.
Sorry.
