Ritual (Ritueel)

Take care, Tom. Wait. - Kiki, do you have those timetables?

Yeah, I got it. - Are you okay? Careful, Dad.

Did you get it? - Yes, I got it.

Kiki, are you checking the distance?

Going forward, they want to undergo in half an hour.

Are you ready for your big moment, Elisabeth?

Okay, final briefing.

Dad, I was thinking last night.

We better stay only five minutes at minus 100.

How? No ten? - No, Tom. Five.

Allee. Cézaire, not ten minutes? - At 100 meters, five minutes is already good.

So. Descending fifteen minutes. Five minutes at minus 100.

And 3.5 hours to get back up, including stops.

And Tom, at the stops stay still this time, yes?

Yes.

Okay, final checks?

Thanks again, honey.

You only live to be sixty once, Mom. - I know that.

Dad? Mom?

What happened? - They came up too fast.

Where are the parents?

Those are still downstairs. - Signal the helicopter.

Did you do your stops? Your stops?

I didn't find them. I only saw them pockets.

Go with Tom. Take him to the hospital.

I go downstairs again. I'll get them upstairs. Go with Tom.

Hey, Tommeke. - Hi.

Is something wrong? - No, it's Mom's birthday, isn't it.

Yeah. - It's been a year, so I thought:

maybe we should finally clean up Daddy's desk together?

Yes, but I still have to eat and.... - Take it easy. Come when you're ready.

Yes, but I also have to go to the store....

Tom, we have all weekend.

In the afternoon or so?

I just keep thinking, if I hadn't panicked at the time that...

It's okay. I'll do it.

Central Bank of the Belgian Congo

Schelfthaut? - Lieutenant Schelfthaut?

Code 608 on the canal in Molenbeek. Please report as soon as possible.

I'm on standby. Have you called the shift guard yet?

Those are gone, requisitioned by the prosecutor's office. Sorry.

Okay. I'm coming.

I've been coming here for about four weeks now. I am addicted to cocaine.

Thank you, Marijke.

Tamara? - I'm addicted to crack.

It started when I was sixteen, just with a joint. You know how that goes.

I'm still a little tired. I don't know about you guys....

Sweating, getting mad at everybody. - Jonas?

Jonas?

That's the name, isn't it?

Um, yes.

So I'm Jonas. I'm addicted to heroin.

When I was twelve, I was abused by a teacher of mine.

I started to throttle.

Then that wasn't enough anymore, starting to spray and stuff.

My parents found that out. They threw me out.

Moments later, my friend also died.

I really want to get rid of it now.

And I want to get rid of your bullshit, Jonas.

Just last week it was your parents who had died

And your girlfriend you had put out. Or don't you remember?

If you can't be honest with yourself, you have no business here, Jonas.

You're all the way to the right now, chief. I would come back a little more central.

Okay.

Yes, now you should be hanging above it.

If we can believe that witness.

Nothing to see here yet.

Back at the wall.

Are there any other divers in the water?

Negative.

Why?

No, nothing.

Mom?

Kiki?

Kiki, is something wrong?

No nothing, Stan.

The stupid lamp fell out of my hands.

Greasy gunk, goddamn it.

Kiki?

Found something?

Okay. Yes, give it to me.

Ah, Nick. - Hey.

Say it, Borsu. - Yes, so the diver has...

Good afternoon. Nick Cafmeyer, federal. - Christine Schelfthaut.

You turned up that hand? - Yes.

Did you notice anything in particular? - No, you don't see anything underwater there.

But you found them quickly anyway. - It was a good tip.

A grandfather and his granddaughter saw a hand floating.

Hands do not float.

They may have seen the hand, but then at the moment she fell into the water.

Five seconds later And you can't see anything.

That's bizarre, though. There was no one else around.

Wasn't that yesterday that it poured like that?

We need to get to that drain over there.

Will you join us?

Because of the rain, it may be That hand is washed out here.

Stan?

Yes, do.

That is impressive. - That amazes you exactly.

No, not at all. It's...

Sad birthday. I'm thinking of you. If you want to talk, I'm here.

Could we have a moment... That cistern would issue into the canal.

Ask Waterworks if they can get in there with a camera.

You think we're still going to find pieces?

There is a third drain. - Across the street.

Do you have some change for me?

Do you have some money for me?

Do you have something for me? - You don't even have money.

Do you want something?

Do you have something? - Yes.

On Friday, I will receive my benefits. - No worries. Come.

Come on.

Get in.

Hello. - Hi.

When I see you, I see your mom. - Cézaire.

It's been far too long. My fault.

You must be very busy.

I found an old picture of you and Dad. I thought you would like it.

Are you diving again already? - I've only been out for a month.

Why? - I smell standing water.

Are you serious?

That really creeps into your hair and pores.

What about you? Are you still working on your book? - It comes out the day after tomorrow.

You will come, won't you? - Yes, of course.

So, what did you find today? A treasure? A missing person?

One hand.

The one from the news? - Yes.

The hand in the canal, that's you? - Two hands. They came out of a rain drain.

A dream career. But it may be the only thing I'm good at.

Then again.

I rounded up 107 corpses.

But my own parents...

The Boesman hole is way too deep. - I know.

I tried to find them. - I know that.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way.

I still blame myself also still a little bit.

I'm losing them, Cézaire.

My image of them is becoming increasingly blurred.

I wanted to tell you.

I saw her. Mom.

Christine. Some things are better left alone.

I saw her. She wanted to make something clear to me.

Did you give that to Dad?

I need to see her again.

That's garbage. It just brings your head down.

Your fears. Your memories. Your desires. It's junk.

I still want to tell her so much.

It will not bring clarity. Only chaos.

I know someone who can help you. - Help with what?

Money. To stop.

Or maybe more of this?

Okay.

Okay, go ahead.

So.

It's him, chief.

Can this thing be off already? - No.

Why do I have it on? - Where we are going is a secret.

Otherwise there would be too many people. - Just drop me off here.

We're almost there. - Drop me off here.

I still say... - Please.

Damn.

He jumped.

Are you still sleeping that badly?

Yes...

You weren't fired, were you? - No.

I am working on a new business.

Tom, you were going to stay employed for a while, right?

I know, Kiki, but this is really a gap in the market.

Are you still seeing your psychologist? And the medication?

If I pass up this opportunity, then I'm flipped. Really.

I know some guys and they import chandeliers from the Czech Republic.

You don't see that in any antique store hang. That...

That's going to sell like crazy.

And they want to make me partner. - Partner? All of a sudden?

No, not all of a sudden. I've had some dinners, some meetings with those guys.

Partner? In what legal form? Shareholder?

Yes, shareholder.

That's why I should borrow your car tomorrow. - My car?

I can hardly get there with my moped moped. I can't.

Kiki, everything depends on that meeting.

Good day. - Start already. I'm coming.

Excuse me. Do you know where I can find Mr. D'Aldekerke can be found?

They are still in Switzerland, in the mountains. They might come back tonight.

Are you from the police? - No, I am from...

I saw you earlier at the combo. You also start work early.

You are here for the blood, I suppose. - Blood?

Yes, on their new Mercedes. All blood.

See. All the blood. It was dripping off.

Check it out. Madam was almost hysterical.

Excuse me, could I speak to Commissioner Cafmeyer speak to?

I'll check to see if he's still inside. - Yes.

Ah, it's okay. Commissioner?

Commissioner?

Hey. - I may have something.

One possible clue why the hands were cut off.

Do you know the owner of the company where the hands were found?

I can check that out. - D'Aldekerke.

Their family fortune was amassed in the Congo.

With rubber plantations.

Perhaps it is worth to investigate
