Deadline 14/10

The new DVD of Twilight. Thank you, Cato.

Our Lena cycles there 3 or 4 times a week.

They are each other's BFF. - BFF?

Best friends forever.

Lena has a boyfriend. - PJ, my friend is older too.

You will be a father for the second time soon.

I think every parent is concerned about this case.

What happens to your child, touches you.

What's the meaning of this? - Before you went to the station,

didn't you kiss me?

Marianne, can't you cooperate today?

No, I won't let myself be blackmailed.

The poster of Antwerp Interest? - No, no, that's Lena.

So I dislike the way Antwerp Interest

is discredited today.

You signed?

No, Ludo, no. I didn't sign.

That seems like "various matters", but it's a bomb.

Check it. - Compromises blocked

by three or four small parties, no, I'll give it a pass.

What do you see for us in the next 6 years here in Antwerp?

It's best for both of them and for "the city".

Shoulder to shoulder, don't leave too much space in between.

I need you. - To find what?

Hey? Do you realize what you're looking for?

It's not. It's not. Lena - No.

She has the same sweater. - Yeah, yeah.

Come on.

Sara Bruyndonckx, sixteen.

She ran away from a private psychiatric hospital in Hasselt

and she previously wanted to commit suicide.

Is that Lena Nijs' sweater?

Sonja wrote her name on the collar.

What's the relationship between Lena Nijs and Sara Bruyndonckx?

None, according to Sonja. - That can't be right.

Investigate it, yes? - Yes.

Mom, on TV it seems much cooler.

Yeah, would you like that? - This is no place for a child.

I know.

Come on, honey. We're going home.

Don't get off at Dampoort. - Yes, Sint-Pieters.

Sint-Pieters, yes. Dad will be there on the platform, so look for Dad.

Yes? Okay. - Yes.

Until next weekend, sweetheart. - Yes.

Goodbye. - Good day. Have a good week, huh.

Mom, I'm my... - What?

Good day, sweetie. Good day.

Yes, Frederick. - Seppe's bag is still at your place.

Then I'll send it next weekend.

With his school books.

Yes, damn. I'll bring them tomorrow. Okay?

No, tomorrow's the first day of school. He needs them in the morning.

Look, Fre, really, I spent the whole day...

I'm tired, I want to go to sleep. - Okay, you know what?

I'll come get them tomorrow, before school.

Then I'll know for sure he has them.

I feel she's alive, Ludo.

And when she comes back...

... Then she'll need us.

Both of us.

150 euro or 14 days.

You have a file in Ghent. Four charges for shoplifting.

Why?

Because.

"It happens accidentally, it's stronger than my control."

She was referred to a psychiatrist.

"OCD obsessive-compulsive disorder manifests itself with kleptomania

By the lack of impulse control.

It's possibly caused by an emotional trauma.

This has been... "

So early. - Yes, so early as...

I have to get back to Ghent, for the files.

20:00 at Du Progres? I want the separation organized today.

I'm not sure I can make that. - It's that or your lawyer.

Any news about Antwerp Interest?

The Lena poster will cost them a few votes.

They didn't do anything wrong, but it doesn't do their reputation any good.

Only the hard core around Jean Dewit are hanging on, 10% maximum.

Their supporters are moving over to Coenen,

the award ceremony isn't a good idea.

A City Award, that's not the promo you need now.

In public perception you're more concerned about Europe, than Antwerp.

I didn't ask for that award,

but I can't refuse it. That would be bad promo.

Coenen's holding a rally today at the docks.

Not directly the electorate. - No, he hand picks them.

They'll listen to him. - Let him do it.

The dockers will laugh it off. What did he do for Antwerp?

For the port? Nougat Balls.

Good quote for the campaign. - What?

"What has Coenen done for Antwerp? Nougat Balls"

Hey, is that... - Bernard De Ley, UFSIA,

from the Traffic Safety Campaign. - Seeing it's been approved?

It's at the beginning of the school year. Maybe a few extra posters, huh.

Do we have a budget? - If we include that.

There's still money for a study for the redevelopment of the quays.

Road Safety fits perfectly into our program.

Mr. De Ley, welcome. - Mayor.

Robbie. - Bernadette Pilgrims

Saw Lena and Sara the night Lena disappeared.

Listen, I'll be right there. - Yes.

When will I see you again?

We'll call you.

You can follow therapy here.

They've gone abroad. - Yes, abroad...

Drowned in the Scheldt? - Wait a minute.

Abroad. Yes, tell me. - Drowned in the Scheldt?

An accident.

Overdose. - Yeah, yeah.

Prostitution, forced or otherwise. - Prostitution.

Porn industry? - That's the same thing.

Suicide? - Yes.

Yes, anything else?

Marianne ? - Murdered, buried somewhere.

Yes, murdered.

Good, June and Vic, work on the hypotheses.

Refer to real events, it shouldn't come across like a quiz.

Come on, go, go, go -

You go to Cato's mother. - Nadine Mahieu?

I saw her at the inquiry. She doesn't get along with Cato.

Ah. Okay so I'll do it.

And therefore Antwerp must continue to invest in its port

and in you all, because you are the engine of the port.

That's it, guys. That's it. Thanks for listening.

Hey, wait a minute. Can I see your hands?

My hands? - Yes.

Yes, just like a nun's box. Never used.

We can see you've never worked.

Can I see your elbows?

Just like a baby's bottom. as tender as butter.

You'll never be a politician.

But buddy, can you guarantee us

they won't abolish our "closed shop" contract?

No, I can't and don't believe

those who promise that, because nobody can.

I guarantee you guys if I become mayor

I'm going to fight to maintain the terms of your contract.

and you can count on me. - Now I ask for your votes.

No, nowhere near. Vote for whomever you want,

but now you know where I stand.

Ben?

Phone call from the hospital. Nathalie fell down the stairs.

You're kidding.

Your mom says you sleep badly.

And you hardly eat.

Is that because of Lena?

Yes, she's your best friend, huh - Until the birthday party.

Then not anymore?

We stopped seeing each other as much.

She came here, but you stopped going there.

What caused that? Perhaps something happened at the party?

Cato, if you know anything about Lena, then you should tell me now.

Promise you won't say anything to Mom.

Or to Lena's parents. - Yes.

And don't write about it in your newspaper.

I promise.

So let's go over it again. Now step by step.

Lena's birthday.

Cato suddenly got angry in the basement.

Mr. Nijs stood there with his camera filming her.

He asked Cato to dance. She danced.

Ludo got a little excited, he wanted more.

Cato continued. She went to sit on his lap...

And he raped her.

Yes.

Cato hasn't spoken about that for weeks.

And at a given time, finally, she called Lena,

on August 21, and told her everything.

21 August

That's the day Lena disappeared? - Yes.

Maybe Ludo and Lena had a fight.

You don't think he just did in his daughter

to silence her?

He wasn't at the barbecue. He wasn't at the search.

He also says all the time he thinks she's dead.

Report it the Police? - No, no.

First, double check. Talk to Cato's friends.

If the story turns out to be correct, we have a giant scoop.

Then I play cop again. - Maybe.

If you don't let yourself get caught, so to work. Not a word to the rest.

Okay.

What did Cato want to say?

Nothing special. - Is there something I should know?

Good, I'm gone. Bye.

Marianne's temporarily following up her own leads.

Ah yes, what? We are a team.

That means: Collaborate, share info.

Can I finish, please?

Marianne's temporarily following her own leads at my request. Okay?

Why did you assign me to coordinate the case

when you decide everything yourself? - Theo, rule 1 in the newsroom.

Ego stays at the door, we're not in kindergarten.

Sometimes I doubt it. - When I hear you, me too.

Good. So Marianne's now working on her own, because I think

it'll goes faster if she does. Is that a problem?

Is that a problem?

You're the editor. I assume you know what you're doing.

Yes. And yes.

Yes?

It's okay.
