A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
TWO DAYS EARLIER
Hello?
Hey, Nathalie.
Hey.
Is something wrong?
I couldn't reach you earlier.
I have bad news.
Should I get ready?
No, no. You're not in danger.
You might not hear from me for a while.
Why? What happened?
It's a long story.
I'll explain one day. I just wanted you to hear it from me.
Is there anything I can do for you?
No.
You just keep doing what you're doing. You're doing a fantastic job.
Nick will follow up with you.
Will I see you again?
I hope so.
-Nathalie, I have to hang up. -Okay.
We'll talk later.
-I'm sorry. -Be careful.
I will.
I'm listening.
You should probably record this.
Okay.
I lied about JP.
He only agreed to the deal...
because I promised him he would get Victor Bilzarian.
Jesus, Bob.
I kidnapped Bilzarian from his hotel.
So I wouldn't lose control.
I kept him in a cabin in the Ardennes.
He escaped last night.
With my car.
Bilzarian isn't our biggest problem.
There's something else.
About Ferry and that recording.
When John recognized you, we were completely stuck.
Around that time, Kim discovered Danielle was in love with her.
I told Kim to use that.
Kim had to go really far.
We really messed with that girl's head.
In the meantime I tried to set up the deal, but...
John knew we were cops.
He somehow put a wire in my coat.
He confronted me.
At the port.
It was self-defense, Nick.
He came at me with a knife, and we fell into the water.
He never resurfaced.
Then Henk Swaab found Polly.
He gave her a phone Ferry used to contact me.
After that, he had me by the balls.
I told him about Kim and Danielle.
So his lawyer is going to use that to get him released.
That's it?
This contains the full recording.
Your cell phone.
You're staying here until I know what we're going to do with you.
What are you doing here?
Come on, asshole.
Okay, it's not as bad as we expected.
He won't be able to use this.
Marc...
This recording isn't the problem.
I know.
But right now we're the only ones who know what Bob confessed to.
You don't want to sweep this under the rug, do you?
No, no.
But we need to keep our heads in the game.
-We can't let Bouman walk free. -I think a corrupt cop is just as bad.
I understand you're angry. So am I, believe me.
Bob won't get away with this.
But we need to be realistic and put things in the right perspective.
So, yes.
You do want to sweep this under the rug.
You have reached the mailbox of zero--
And?
We're doing some exercises to stimulate his blood circulation.
-But are you noticing any improvement? -Gosh...
Not really.
-Coffee? -Yes.
Thanks.
Usually he seems far away, but...
every now and then I can see in his eyes...
that my brother is in there.
Sometimes he seems responsive, but...
we have no idea what he's thinking or what his cognitive capabilities are.
I'll be honest...
I wouldn't expect too much.
JP called.
Can you ask him what he wants?
Put it on speaker.
Whatever he asks, you're not going anywhere.
Go ahead. I'll go heat up my food.
Hello, Steve.
You called. I was in a meeting.
Good news. The shipment has arrived. We can meet tomorrow to round things off.
Okay, fantastic. Enrico will be satisfied.
I'm not sure I'll be able to be there, but everything's been arranged, so...
No, no. If you're not there, I'm canceling the deal.
I don't like last-minute changes.
JP, I understand that, but I have to be with Ruud in France.
That's your problem, not mine. I have my own problems.
But that does not mean I don't honor my agreements.
Don't give me reason to doubt you, Steve.
Guillaume.
Now what?
The weapons are in the country.
As soon as we know where they are, the deal can be canceled.
Then we can arrest the brothers without Bob.
How? We don't even have a phone number to tap.
We have someone else on the inside.
You're going to let this entire case depend on some barmaid?
Without her we'd have nothing.
We just need to get our hands on the phone JP uses for his deals.
She's around these guys all the time.
Nathalie can do this.
And Bilzarian? Is that going to blow up in our faces?
I don't think so.
They found Bob's car in Doornik.
He's fled abroad.
He's smart. He'll let us do our thing. We're eliminating his competitor.
I hope so, for your sake.
I didn't want to have Bob on this case, but you said everything was under control.
If this fails, Bob won't be the only one facing consequences.
Patrick, quit the hypocritical bullshit.
You never cared about the case, you just wanted to score points.
And now that things are getting difficult, you're trying to save your own ass.
I'm going to solve this my way.
Kiss my balls.
Mom's going to drop off the groceries at Nana's. You stay in the car.
When can I see my daddy?
Not until he feels a bit better, sweety.
Nathalie!
He moved!
Is Jackson with you?
-I'm here. -Yes, but we're not staying.
I'm just dropping this off. We're going somewhere.
-But surely he can come say hi? -Yes.
All right, but only for a minute.
We didn't have the bread cut at the baker's.
-Hello, this is Nathalie. -Nathalie, it's Nick.
We need to meet. It's important.
-Hello? -It's me.
We'll be wrapping things up in half an hour.
Good. Vinnie will take care of the payment...
once you're ready.
Good.
These biscuits are delicious, Nana.
What did you just say about Laurent?
He's starting to move.
His fingers.
-Really? -Yes. I called the doctor to tell him.
He was flabbergasted.
"That is fantastic news," he said. "I did not expect that at all."
Nathalie, what's the matter?
This is good news, isn't it?
Yes, this is fantastic news.
I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached.
The shop just phoned to tell me I forgot my wallet.
So I'm going to pick it up.
-After that we'll go to the petting zoo. -Do you have to go now?
-Well, yes. Come, put that away. -I want to stay here.
Sweetheart, come on.
But he hasn't seen his father since the accident.
Yvette...
I'm not sure it's a good idea for him to see Laurent like this.
Don't treat him like a baby.
If you raise him like a wuss, that's what he'll become.
He's a big boy, aren't you?
But Daddy is ill, and he has to fight hard to heal.
But he'll get better.
And you know what would make him really happy?
To see your face.
I'm 100% sure of it.
I want to see Daddy.
You go pick up your wallet.
We'll go visit Daddy together, okay?
-Okay. -All right, Mommy will be back soon.
Bye.
-Hey. -What's going on? What happened to Bob?
"Bob"?
He called me last night. Is he okay?
I've taken Steve off the case.
What for?
That's between him and us.
What else did he tell you?
Just his first name.
I asked for it because I was flipping out.
That's my mistake. Don't be angry with him.
Listen, Nathalie.
The Bergers' weapons are in the country.
As soon as we know where they keep them, we can arrest them.
But... we need your help for that.
What do you need me to do?
We need the phone JP uses to do business with.
So we can track it.
-I think I know which phone that is. -Do you have the number?
No, but I heard him phoning in Russian. So I know what it looks like.
We need the phone number, or the serial number of the SIM card.
And after that it's over?
Yes.
Hey, two fingers now?
Well done, man.
You look a lot more awake, brother.
What's wrong, buddy?
I think you're pushing him too hard.
No, no, I think he wants to say something. Do you want to say something?
Yes?
He wants to say something.
What's the matter?
Are you in pain?
Blink twice for "no."
Are you hungry?
Do we need to put you in a different position? No?
Damn it, what's wrong? What are you trying to say?
Look who's here.
Wait, I'll help you.
Hi, Jackson.
Mrs. Berger...
I don't know if that's a good idea.
Laurent is overstimulated, he needs to rest.
We'll see about that.
Come on.
Hi.
Show him the drawing you made.
This is for you.
It's us, riding horses.
And what's written at the top?
"Daddy."
All right, put the drawing over there where Daddy can see it.
We need to talk.
Bouman's trial starts tomorrow.
We both know what's going to happen.
Ferry's lawyer will take the floor and say he has new information that proves
that undercover agents acted unethically.
The judge will look at the prosecutor.
He'll have no choice but to investigate it and you'll be called to the stand.
I'm glad you told us.
I really am.
That means you don't want Bouman to walk free, either. Right?
Of course...
you did what you did because you wanted to put Bouman in jail.
So it's very simple.
You're going to deny everything tomorrow.
Then it'll be Bouman's word against yours.
-And my family? -They'll be protected, you know that.
You can't put them in a safe house forever.
I'm talking about permanent protection. New names, new address...
So they won't have to live in fear anymore.
Ah, yes.
That might be better than a spoon to practice with. A bit lighter.
Every step is a step closer.
Marc wants me to lie.
I know.
I also think that's best.
It would be convenient, wouldn't it?
-I'm not saying that to save my own ass. -Good.
Because that's not an option anymore.
Nick, I'm sorry. I truly am.
I should have come to you much sooner.
I don't know what to believe anymore.
Are you speaking the truth now?
I know what it's like to be a UCA.
And I realize how tempting it is...
to cheat in order to win against criminals who don't have to follow the rules.
But you see what happens.
If you lie again, in court, when you're under oath...
where will it end?
What about Ferry?
This isn't about Ferry.
This is about you.
Do you really think Marc will congratulate you if you lie tomorrow?
He'll pretend to be your friend until he has what he wants.
And then they'll bury you in the deepest pit they can find.
Your family...
your colleagues...
Everyone will turn their back on you.
You'll have no one left.
But if you choose to speak the truth tomorrow...
you'll be able to look yourself and everyone you care about...
in the eye again.
And to turn the page.
And I'll be standing beside you.
As your friend.
Whatever the consequences may be.
And the Bergers?
As long as Laurent can't speak, we're okay.
I've paid the Ukrainians.
Everything is ready to be delivered.
Any news from Steve?
No.
It was important to them, wasn't it?
What are you thinking about?
Nothing.
Do you not trust it anymore?
-If you have a bad feeling, let's move on. -We can't do that now.
JP...
Maybe Steve is pulling back because he knows something we don't.
This Bilzarian, is he really worth the risk?
Bilzarian is the risk.
I won't let him slip through my fingers this time.
Do you want one too?
-A sandwich? -No, thanks.
Wait, let me tidy up a bit.
All this mess here.
Goddammit, you stupid cow!
-I'm sorry, it was an accident. -For God's sake.
Shit. Did it get on your phone?
-Let me dry it off. -Don't. I'll do it myself.
-You have to make sure it doesn't seep in. -Calm down. What's the matter with you?
No, I just...
-Shall I wash your trousers? -Stop it.
It's okay. It happens.
Open the door, will you? I'm going to put on clean trousers.
Let the sun enter your heart
Hi, Nathalie.
We have a surprise for Laurent.
Willy Sommers.
Hi.
Can we come in, or do we have to stay out here?
-No, of course. -All right.
What's going on here?
Hello, ma'am. Do you remember us?
We're good friends of Laurent's. We've come to visit him.
Hello, ma'am.
Hello, Willy Sommers.
-Excuse me. Sorry. -Sure.
Yes. It's very kind of you to come, but you should have called first.
We can't put too much strain on Laurent.
Yes, but Willy is here now. We can't exactly come back later.
All right, just for a little while.
I was just going to wash your trousers.
I told you I would do it myself.
Yes, but I don't mind doing it, JP.
Why are you so tense?
Does that surprise you?
Last time I was in a room alone with you, you choked me.
Oh, let the sun enter your heart
For it shines for everyone
Enjoy life
For it's only short
Oh, let the sun enter your heart
For it shines for everyone
Enjoy life
For it's only short
Hi, buddy. That was really moving, wasn't it?
We knew you would like it.
Rohnny knows Willy from when they were on stage together.
He's here now thanks to him. Just for you.
Beautiful, isn't it?
Poor man.
It must be horrible, to be locked up in your own body like that.
Like a lion in a cage, really.
The poetry of life, right?
He seems to be looking at that pen again and again.
-Right? -Maybe he wants...
Do you want Willy's autograph, Laurent?
Yes?
Willy? He would like an autograph.
-No problem. -We'll get you one, okay, buddy? Hey.
There.
Do you want your pen back?
From Willy, just for you.
All right?
We'll give you back your pen. There you go.
Better?
Do you want to write?
Do you have another sheet of paper?
Thanks.
There you go.
Write something.
-Yes, see? He's trying to write something. -Absolutely.
Hey, guys, I think it's time for you to go.
-He really needs to get some rest. -She's right.
He says he doesn't want that.
Well, but...
-Hey, this looks exactly like an "S." -Yes.
Maybe it's a song request?
Willy, do you have songs that start with "S"?
It's just a scribble.
He needs to rest.
What is this? What did you do?
Are you okay, chief?
-Is this because of us? -No, we didn't...
He's flipping out.
-Can't you give him a sedative? -I'm working on it.
-Hey, hey, what's going on here? -This is far too much excitement for him.
-I'm sorry, but it's time to... -Yes.
Willy, we should go now.
Get well soon.
-Chief. -Hang in there, Laurent.
Nick here.
-So? Did it work? -Yes, we have an address.
Thanks a lot, Nathalie.
Come on, open it.
Fuck!
It's 30 minutes to the courthouse.
There's not much traffic, so there shouldn't be much delay.
-There will be a lot of press there. -Colleague?
Can I talk to him? It'll only take two minutes.
-Two minutes. -Thanks.
Does Nick know you're here?
You need to think carefully about what you're going to say.
I'm going to tell them what happened. I don't want to lie anymore.
Did Nick give you an update about the Bergers?
It's not looking good.
We staked everything on those weapons, but we were too late.
They'd been moved.
This deal has to take place, and we need you for that.
If you speak the truth in court, we can't use you anymore.
You'll not only destroy Kim's reputation,
but also the chance to avenge her death.
I know what's at stake, but I can't do this anymore.
And I think Kim would want me to speak the truth.
Bob, think long and hard about this.
I'm sorry, Patrick.
Need I remind you we have someone else at the Bergers'?
-Don't drag Nathalie into this. -I didn't, you guys did.
Nathalie is innocent. She has a child.
She's done everything we asked her to.
We said she'd get a new identity after we caught the Bergers.
You bastard.
You created this mess.
Don't come crying now.
It's your choice, Bob.
Bob.
Bob, we have to go now.
Everything's ready.
As usual.
We'll follow along in the courtroom.
This gentleman will make sure the proper procedures are followed.
Good luck.
I'm on your side, okay?
Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby declare the session to be reopened.
All parties are ready for the testimony of the undercover agent
known in the police report as Peter Bogaert.
I would like to ask the witness to raise his right hand and to repeat after me.
"I swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth."
You're going to deny everything tomorrow. Then it'll be Bouman's word against yours.
"Sorry" isn't going to cut it, Dad.
What will happen if you can't arrest the Bergers?
I've always believed you were a good man, but you fooled everyone.
You'll be able to look yourself and everyone you care about...
in the eye again.
I swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth.
-Donald Duck. -Sir...
A new testimony has emerged
that suggests the infiltrators used illegal practices
against the defendant and his wife.
Considering the gravity of the complaint and the details given in the testimony,
I will allow you to be questioned
so that we may come to a verdict concerning this matter.
Because we've lost enough time already,
I will allow the defense to question the witness directly.
Thank you, Your Honor.
Mr. Bogaert,
there are a lot of wild tales going around about undercover agents.
Can you explain in your own words what your job entails?
That depends on the case.
In this case, our assignment was to come into contact with the target,
to build a rapport with him,
and to gain insight into the workings of his organization,
with the ultimate goal of setting up a deal with him.
The target being my client, Mr. Bouman?
That's correct.
What is your definition of "building a rapport"?
A friendship.
Friendship? What did that look like?
Normal things. Having barbecues, going to restaurants, watching soccer...
Making sure we clicked.
And does that include sleeping with the target's wife?
No, of course not.
What about your colleague, Anouk?
Sir?
No.
No?
But Mrs. Bouman claims in her testimony that that is what happened.
And the text messages they sent each other seem to support that.
"I can't sleep. Wanted to keep talking with you."
"I can't stop thinking about what you said."
"What I felt last night, I'd never felt before."
Et cetera, et cetera.
That's new to me.
I know that Mrs. Bouman got along well with my colleague, and...
it's possible that Mrs. Bouman felt more than friendship for her, but...
we always acted professionally.
-Need I remind you you are under oath? -Counselor.
That will not be necessary.
Is it true that the two women were often alone together?
Sometimes, yes.
So this might have happened without your knowledge.
Perhaps. I can neither confirm nor deny that.
According to Mrs. Bouman's testimony,
she slept with your colleague during a trip to Saint-Malo on December 5.
Did you know about that?
That's impossible.
My colleague was with me at all times during the trip.
And when she wasn't, she was being debriefed by our coordinator.
Then how can Mrs. Bouman's testimony contain so many details?
I can only assume she made it all up in an attempt to delay the trial.
You're lying! Just admit it, damn it!
-Mr. Bouman... -Calm down.
Calm down or I'll have you removed.
Yeah, yeah.
All right. I think we've heard enough.
Mr. Prosecutor, does this testimony change your demand in any way?
No, Your Honor.
Thanks for your testimony.
The session will be suspended until 2 p.m.
You're not getting away with this! Just you wait!
Nick...
You did the right thing.
-My family? -They'll be brought to safety.
You need to call JP right now to arrange a meeting.
Hello?
I spoke to Enrico. We're ready.
-I can be present as well tomorrow. -Okay. What time?
The earlier the better.
I'll phone you at eight. Make sure you bring Bilzarian.
No bullshit.
The number you have dialed is not in service.
Hi.
Thanks for coming today.
What's going to happen to you now?
Don't worry about me, I'll fight back.
I won't let them get me.
They haven't seen the last of me yet.
I want you to know...
I've always loved you.
I mean it.
Thanks for what you did.
I know it was hard for you.
And I want you to know, Daan, listen carefully...
I've made my peace with it.
You'll always be the most important person in my life.
I'll always take care of you.
You'll never want for anything, okay?
May I?
I'm sorry.
You don't have to apologize to me.
I'm sorry.
I love you.
I love you, too.
I have good news.
I talked to Steve.
The deal is on.
Well, your deal.
You were right.
I should have listened to you sooner.
You'll get through this, buddy.
You're strong, I know you are.
And I'll make sure we'll have more money than we can possibly spend.
"No"? What do you mean, "no"?
You want to say something?
Something about the drawing?
What about it?
About Nathalie?
About the accident?
Was Steve involved somehow?
Laurent, is Steve a cop?
NEXT TIME
You're my brother.
What they do to you, they do to me. All right?
A fight took place here, and Nathalie is missing.
I warned you.
Either you're with us or you're against us.
Please...
If anything happens to her, I'll find you.
