We've got a serial mulitator.
Chloe, damn.
This is a Peter's Cross.
- That is exactly the same method.
They are both prostitutes.
They work both in the Chaussée.
They both have a child.
- They are both blonde.
All of us aren't friends on the Chaussée.
Are there any suspects? - Walter, that's a question.
He is really interested in me.
- Where were you at 9.
45? When our dad in the home.
- Walter comes every day to visit.
Walter Vanpraet has an alibi for Eva.
He sat with his dad in the rest home.
- I would like you to work for us as an informant.
Dieter will be proud.
- Is that your boyfriend? My son.
Yes, and Tim, who is subnormal? - He has an IQ of about 40.
The doctors call it moderate retardation.
Sometimes the boy has trouble knowing when his hour is up and then he can be difficult.
But he was at Eva and Chloe's.
Tim Vlaeminck's alibi for Eva isn't true 100%.
I haven't anything to say.
I want help with your investigation.
The companions of Quintens What do you know? The prisoners who escaped were recaptured or died.
Have you seen their corpses? - Are they still living or what? I checked the Vlaeminck family.
The dad didn't say everything about his son.
8 years ago Tim charged with rape.
During a sailing class the nice boy, sexually assaulted a girl.
A couple of questions.
Did you visit Chloe again yesterday? Oops.
If you don't stop touching me now, I'll hurt you.
Damn.
Go, Go.
Hannah, ça va? Ça va? Breathe, breathe.
No, never mind.
- Okay, okay.
Just be quiet.
Breathe calmly.
Everything will be fine.
Hannah, it's okay.
Quiet.
Tim, we're going to make a nice drawing like last time, huh? Do you remember? Put your hand right here.
We're going to make a nice drawing of your hand, huh? Were you at Chloe's yesterday? Dad? - Hey, Tim.
Bob and I wonder if you were at Cloe's last night and if maybe you hurt her.
Papa.
If he did, it was because he was provoked.
He's a very sensitive boy.
- Mr.
Vlaeminck, he tried to strangle and rape me.
Tim, look Here, Tim.
Look in my eyes.
Tim, were you at the bare ladies'? At Chloe's? Tim? If you can help us talk to him? That would be fine.
Damn.
Tim, Tim? - Dad is there.
Dad is here.
- Dad.
Dad is here.
Quiet, boy.
Quiet.
He? Calm down now.
The men are going to ask a couple questions and you must answer.
When it's over, we'll go home.
Then we'll go to mama.
Yes? - Yes.
Tim? I'm not mad at you.
I'm going to ask a couple of easy questions.
Very easy.
Just say yes or no.
Yesterday, damn, were you at Chloe's yes or no? Tim, what we wonder is why you've become so angry with the lady from the police? - Tim? Did she do anything to make you angry? Quiet.
- Try this That isn't true.
- I want to go home.
I want to go home.
- Maybe it's better I want to go home I want to go home Mr.
Vlaeminck.
- Those handcuffs, that's about it.
Sorry, we can't take any risks.
Risks? You treat him like a criminal.
Again, he almost raped me.
Is that criminal enough? Get out, hey, man.
Get out.
Kevin.
Dick.
Sorry about your neck and for that just now.
You'll get the bill, understand.
What happens now to Tim? He'll stay with us.
I must talk to the prosecutor.
he can work on the invstigation.
Will he go to jail? - I can probably recommend he be sent temporarily to an institution if you prefer.
I knew it was wrong with that whore thing.
The hours I stood on that street waiting while Tim finished with that madam, that This is a crossroad, you know.
You can pick up some stuff for Tim.
His drawing materials for example.
Yes, Charles.
- What I wanted to say.
Chloe didn't see her assaillant.
He pulled her down from behind.
She saw him in the mirror.
He had gloves on.
- Did he wear a hood? Yes, something like that.
Yes.
- That's the same as Eva.
Could Tim have done it? - Yes, she doesn't know.
Where is she going now? Good Good day, Robin.
Toitoitoi, huh.
Okay, you find the graves of the two prisoners for me.
Okay.
Yes, thank you.
Good day.
Oops.
Fighting in the classroom? Hard law but law (Lex dura, sed lex) Come on, come on, guys.
What is it? - Our young guy.
We get a picture but no sound.
He finds it pathetic that we It isn't so? He thinks it's sad we're locking Tim up.
There's just no way he could go by himself to the Chaussée.
I just don't believe it.
You thinking about your brother, softie.
- Softie? Yes, one night in jail and Tim will confess.
Soft hasn't anything to do with it.
I simply don't believe he did it.
Yes? I have my doubts too, you know.
There were knives in the recycling center.
Tim didn't choose a knife, but a baseball bat to injure me.
Voilà.
That doesn't correspond at all with the method the offender's used so far? Guys, can't we just let him go? No, Kevin.
It is too early to exclude Tim as the perpetrator.
We must profile further, and search the pattern of injuries.
Who knows, the perpetrator may tell us something .
But maybe you'll remember something about it yourself.
See you tomorrow.
Something tell with a pattern of injury.
I guess.
What else? - That's lost time.
Sorry, but tomorrow he'll confesse.
- Besides, it isn't lex dura.
It's dura lex, sed lex.
Yes? 13 years with the Jesuits.
Come, guy.
We'll get a pint at The Kleppe.
Neighbour.
Hi, neighbour.
Not thirsty? I got here two trappist beers from Westvleteren.
What do you think? - I'm fit for today.
I'm tired, broken.
I'm going to sleep.
Another time.
What happened to you? - What? What happened to you.
- That's a long story.
Another time.
Okay? - I have good oil in my boat.
A small massage, a trappist beer there.
What do you think? I think I have enough of you.
But another time.
- Another time, that's for sure.
Your name is still Maes, huh? - Yes.
I thought 'another time', but ça va.
All on my own to the fold.
Why were you so mad at me, Tim? Do you want something to drink? - And did that also happen to Chloe? And Eva? - Listen, my friend.
I'm sick of your idiot game.
I ask questions and you answer.
Understood? Did Chloe and Eva push you away? Did that make you so angry? Did you cut them with a knife? Cut a cross on their cheeks? Eh? Okay.
It's okay, it's okay.
Tim, it's okay.
Hey, it's okay.
It's okay.
Tell me about your drawing.
- A black.
And that boy is so happy, that you? Papa.
Who? That's who? - My dad.
That's your daddy? Did that happen once.
- You were against prostitution? I've always had my doubts of that so-called therapy.
How can such a madam help Tim? - You went yourself a lady Just say it.
- Are you married? In the Church? Yes, that's what I thought.
My wife Just after Tim's birth I sat there waiting and one come down, yes.
Was that a blonde? - A darky.
Certainly he stayed with one, because Once you go black The confession, which is something between me and my confessor.
You suspect the father? He is very religious, yes.
- Yes, but that doesn't say anything.
Yes, but there's something wrong with that guy.
He hates prostitutes.
He sent his son there and he himself certainly visited one.
- Yes, I say.
With Catholic guilt.
If we have to shut And until now he is the only one who recognizes a Peter's Cross.
Now you do.
Good.
Mark's hungry.
Fancy a Chinese? My treat.
- No, thank you.
I have an appointment with an old friend.
Enjoy it, Mark.
Hi, Hannah.
- Population Service.
I searched the deceased prisoners.
And? - According to our data Mr.
Dros was cremated in Lochristi.
And Fedrigo Franco? - Died the same week.
He's in Campo Santo.
- Do you know what plot is his? I'm looking at the moment.
And did you ever go with Serge? The father of Tim? - Yes.
No.
And he didn't want to.
Ah, no? Why not? You should have seen what was doing to Eva.
On the street.
Shouting, ranting.
- Because she no longer wanted to service Tim? Yes.
- What did he say exactly? She'd burn in hell.
She should be punished.
Yes, hypocritical fool.
Frustrated as hell, yes.
Be careful, he is dangerous.
I wouldn't let him in.
Hannah? Serge Vlaeminck is a member of True Christianity.
And that is? - An right wing association that thinks the Church is too lax in the fight against evil.
They take action against everything that smells of blasphemy, or write pamphlets and stuff.
- Blasphemy.
Devils theater.
Ther're against the play Our Lady of Flanders.
Those men are really doing well.
Then we'll cross examine Mr.
Vlaeminck at once.
Yes, I am a member of True Christianity.
So what? "Nowadays, people think everything can and must be " With the emphasis on everything.
"But believe me, the day is near when the wrath of God will come down from heaven on all the wicked.
" Your words? Paul to the Romans.
1:18.
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men " Where were you yesterday between 16:00 and 17:00? At the office.
- And that is? Larson Consultancy.
An accounting firm in the south.
Three days ago, you dropped your son off at the recycling centre.
That was at 09:30.
What did you do then? Go to the office.
- Can your colleagues confirm that? I have my own office, sir.
- Is there a time clock, sir? For lower-level staff.
Do you think I assaulted the girls? They had to pay for their behaviour, for the humiliation you feel when they service Tim, for shame because they deceived you? That is grotesque.
- Do you know what is grotesque? Someone scratching Peter's Cross on their cheeks, that is grotesque.
I'm innocent.
- You had the opportunity, you have a motive and you have no alibi.
You'll appear before the prosecutor today.
Would you come along? I'll leave you alone.
Hannah, Charles, problems.
A third victim.
A murder this time.
- Where on the Chaussée? Kortrijksesteenweg.
- Damn.
Good, the third victim.
Violetta Skolimowska.
A Pole, found in her bedroom in the Rose Garden Club.
Dead, with such a cross on her cheek.
Probably she resisted, because her carotid artery was cut and she bled to death there.
- Profile? She is blonde, she's a prostitute.
She's 25 and she has a two year old son.
- Okay, so the same profile, except the location was different.
- So your profile's wrong, huh.
He can have expanded his territory to Ghent and vicinity, too.
Are the results of the laboratory already yet? It's in there, but they found no usable fingerprints.
Did anyone see who she went to her room with? Yes.
No, so.
It happened around 15:30.
The bartender was just in the basement and the other whores were ocupied with their customers.
When they found her, she was dead and the perpetrator was gone.
What we know for certain, is neither Mr.
Vlaeminck nor Tim did it, because they were in custody.
So we'll let him go.
Tim too.
You can take them home if you want.
Come on.
There were 3 victims for 4 days.
He'll strike again soon.
Okay, just divide up the tasks.
Charles, you can go to the Chaussée - Yes, Violetta Skoli check, yes.

Yes, Ms.
Maes.
Ça va? - A bit.
How are things at work? Now I'm just trying not to think about it.
I ask because you just are busy with something big.
What do you mean? Plain.
The last time you didn't look so serious.
As if you are about to unravel some kind of conspiracy.
Maybe that's true.
- Maybe.
Do you mind if I just undo my pants? What to do more.
Why? - Because I'm busy with something big.
But not too much.
Hello.
- Nice, nice.
Ça va.
- Don't laugh at me.
You've already done that yet, huh? - This is my first time.
See once.
Read, Jack the Ripper.
Everywhere, in all the papers.
On the news as well.
All channels.
- Didn't see.
Didn't see it? Are you living on another planet? Yesterday, yes.
Say, what's that? Is your neck better? - Yes.
Good.
Sorry, I must go away.
Have you asked for information on the two dead prisoners? How do you know? What has that got to do with this case? I got to go catch Jack the Ripper.
Kevin mailed a list of all blondes between 20 and 30.
There are dozens.
How are they handling it? - They do it in their pants.
Some even stayed home.
- And Monique? Monique.
Yes, she's naturally blonde but She is 20 years older than those he chooses.
Bad news? Yes, Bob? Sure? Okay, here we come.
Bob's been to the Rose Garden Club.
Guess who's a customer.
Yes, I go there sometimes, yes.
And so what? Yes, you're a regular customer at quite a few places.
What should I say? Change is the spice of life? I can't be held accountable by anyone.
No relationship or children.
Look, I want to believe in what a coincidence, but three blonde prostitutes were disfigured and you were a customer of all three.
- Three, huh.
That can count, huh.
So I am suspicious because I'm attracted to blonde women? Where were you yesterday afternoon between 15:00 and 16:00? At my dad's.
That's him, huh? With his curls? Four or three.
Yes.
Hey, Bob.
What time was Violetta murdered? Bob? Between 15:30 and 16:00.
Yes.
Can you go over again what happened at 16:30? So.
- Good.
Yes.
- That's him I'm going to give you my number anyway.
I think Mr.
Vanpraet was lucky to have his son visit him every day for years.
Yes, but that's not quite right.
The son of Mr.
Vanpraet, only came here since his wife died.
- That's less than a month ago.
Very bizarre woman, actually.
We always called her the black lady.
Bizarre? What do you mean bizarre? - Well yes, she wore a veil to hide the scars on her face.
Scars? - Yes.
Those scars, those scars Those scars were from 20 years ago.
My mother was painting, the ladder slipped Her head went through the window and her face was all disfigured.
- Are there pictures? No, there are no pictures of.
Mother didn't want.
Hence the veil.
Twenty years gone by and no picture.
I don't believe you.
Be careful, I can get a warrant.
If a woman face has been badly disfigured, she doesn't advertise it.
But good, that's to say we were wrong.
You may go.
Sorry we detained you so long.
You also have to do your work.
I understand that.
Stay available.
In case we need you Right.
If I can help.
- Have a nice day.
Hey, that guy's lying.
- I know.
Why are you letting him go? - He has an airtight alibi.
If we want to convict him, we must catch him.
This is a serious risk.
- We'll keep an eye on him.
Yes, Bob.
It is up to you, huh.
Find out how Lise Vanpraet died, okay? Hannah? - Yes.
Have you asked permission to exhume Walter's mother? Thank you.
- An exhumation? And? That curly head hasn't been outside.
Has he been sighted? No, right? Want a French fry? - No, your keys.
You're fifteen minutes late.
- Won't you even stay here? Bob, won't you stay.
What are you doing? Are you You're crazy.
The prosecutor gave permission for a exhumation.
Let me do it, Mark.
I didn't exhume a second corpse because there was no second corpse.
Who? Fedrigo, who is that? Is that in this investigation? Stop.
That will cost you your job.
You're crazy.
Problems.
Lise Vanpraet had exactly the same scars as Eva, Chloe and Violetta.
Do you know anything more about her? - Yes.
Lise Vanpraet.
Housewife, not criminal, nothing suspicious.
Nor about her death.
Car accident two months ago.
A young guy, stoned, drove into her head on.
She was killed instantly.
Yes.
say, if Walter started again after twenty years, Something serious must have happened when his mother died when Yes.
Okay, okay.
I'll call the notary to check the inheritance.
Can you ask Chloe if Walter Vanpraet asked her to leave the job? - Why? Because he also asked Eva.
Did you ask Eva that? - That's already over? And then what? Ask again.
I want more details, I'm looking for patterns, a profile.
- Us too.
We all do.
Jesus.
Walter asked me to leave the job, because Robin and I deserved better, he said.
Yes.
Good.
How did he know you had a small son? Come, wait.
I will Yes, I met him once, when I was taking Robin to kindergarden.
Come on, out with it.
- It's tricky when you encounter customers.
Here, wait.
- Come on, for him.
What did you say? - Good day.
But no, your answer to his offer.
That he could shove his money up his ass.
How much did he offer? 25,000 euros.
- Wow.
You turned him down? I didn't know if I could trust that guy.
In my job you see all types of guys.
Besides, guys who fall in love with me, I'm too smart for them.
Wait a minute.
Are you sure Walter was in love with you? Suppose he absolutely wanted you to quit working as a prostitute, he's already achieved his goal.
Walter? Damn.
Eduard.
We must talk.
Lise had scars on her cheeks.
How did she get them? Lise? - Yes, Lise, your wife.
We're that far already.
About 20 years ago, what happened then? Blood.
Blood? - Lise Blood - What about blood? Who attacked your wife? - Blood.
Lise bleed - Did Walter attack his mother with a knife? Did your son cut your wife's, Lise's, cheeks with a knife? Lise, five hundred.
- Five hundred what? Eduard.
Five hundred what? Miss.
Come on, it's really enough now.
For you I'll knock it down a hundred francs.
Discretion and cleanliness assured.
Was your wife a whore? She went to bed with men before you? Oh, no, no, no.
Wait, wait.
Wait a second.
Fuck.
Damn it, huh.
Okay, thank you, Mr.
Notary.
Walter Vanpraet inherited 200,000 euros from his mother.
Nice for a housewife.
When he got the money he offered it to Chloe and Eva.
Just be sure Violetta if was also offered 25,000 euros to quit the job.
It was staring at us blond, 20-30, all the time standing in front of us.
- Prostitutes with a child.
First he offers money And if they refuse, he then carves a Peter Cross on their face.
Just like his mother.
- 20 years ago and Eduard can't be a witness, because he's got dementia.
And the recent assaults He has his alibi at the rest home.
- Guys, that's Kevin.
Now he's at the rest home and Walter has just entered.
Come on.
Old Vanpraet is alone in his room.
That can't be.
I saw Walter enter, and not exit.
Man, you're sure, huh? - 100%.
Ridiculous.
Is there another exit? No, everything and everyone should pass by here.
A window or something? - All windows are secured.
The storeroom.
The storeroom has a window.
What does he say? - The storeroom.
Fuck.
Damn.

25,000 euros.
To start a new life.
I know whereof I speak.
Yes? Believe me.
Okay, Bob.
Kortrijksesteenweg.
Inform all the whores with a child.
Charles, we'll go to the Chaussée.
- And me? You stay here.
- Come on.
In the event Vanpraet wanders back here later.
Think of your son.

It is done, it is done.
I was fourteen years, huh.
I begged her to quit.
But she wouldn't listen.
And so you disfigured her.
Eh? So nobody would want her.
- I offered the mothers of those children all a way out.
Man, you're crazy.
And that Peter's Cross, what did it mean.
Well, yes.
I was fourteen.
I didn't know what it meant and I had seen it in a movie.
- Why did you start again? To put you on the wrong track.
Voilà, that's why.
I wanted to help.
I just need some air.
Say, men.
A heartfelt congratulations, hey.
Mine and the mayor, Daniel.
Super.
Thanks.
Chief Inspector.
- Yes, Mark.
Are you coming? I need to talk to you urgently.
I'm listening.
Must it be here? - I haven't anything to hide.
Do you? There will be an investigation by Committee P about the second exhumation.
Don't you care a little about it? - Yes.
But I expected it.
Good, that's a suspension.
There'll be a censure or worse.
But they'll do more.
I don't write those rules.
- Won't you defend her? Defend her or I'll ask for a transfer.
Hey, Vermaelen.
Come on, say.
Now we have a chef with balls on her body.
Don't drive her away.
The Emperor of China are pooped in JaMina already behind a stone pillar.

Hi, Monique.
I've been thinking about About what we said.
- Me too.
You are you.
You're right.
A cop from vice and a whore, that's not a good match.
But maybe if we met each other 20 years ago.
Yeah, maybe.
What did you discover? I know one of the robbers is still alive.
A certain Franco Fedrigo.
Where can I find him? - Focus on the word 'widow'.
And the key you found, keep it but carefully.
Where does that key fit? What is it for? I only know Irving.
- Irving? Who is Irving? What you discovered, the others want to keep hidden.
And who are these others? You didn't have a partner, huh? And children? Because if they want to stop you, they are the first victims.
I am alone.
Why are you helping me? Marvin.
Dirty bastards.
I haven't done you any wrong.
Nothing.
