1 A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES Oh, sinnerman Where you gonna run to? Where you gonna run to? All on that day Well, I run to the rock Please, hide me I run to the rock Please, hide me All on that day But the rock cried out I can't hide you I can't hide you The rock cried out [ominous music plays.]
A fucking flashlight.
He shot an innocent man over a fucking flashlight.
It was dark.
This is just what we needed.
Look at this moron.
Whoa, whoa, stop.
This isn't the time.
- What about freedom of the press? - Freedom of the press, my ass.
- Find something else to photograph.
- Leave me alone.
- Whoa! - Hey.
I made myself clear.
One more picture and I'm taking you downtown.
Do you hear me? What's up, man? Are you leaving, or what? - Yeah.
- Yeah? Get out of here.
- Asshole.
- I heard that, bearded prick.
[doorbell ringing.]
[man.]
Yes? Hello? Vicky? Vicky, wait.
Vicky [engine revving.]
[TV show playing.]
[TV turns off.]
[slow piano music plays.]
- [Sara.]
I think I fell asleep.
- [Peter.]
Shh Go back to sleep.
[Sara.]
I have to go home.
[Peter.]
No, no.
You can stay here, OK? [sinister music plays.]
[Liesbet.]
He died where he stood.
[Peter.]
We saw Serge yesterday at the home.
[Liesbet.]
The media's going to love this.
Media? Will you stop with the media? I'm sick of hearing about the media.
- How is Marnix? - Bad.
He killed someone.
[Simon sighs heavily.]
SHOOTING AT ALEGRIA NURSING HOME, ONE DEAD What was Serge doing there in the middle of the night? They found Oxycodone and Fentanyl in his pocket from the nursing home's pharmacy.
Apparently, he was an addict.
- [Vicky.]
What will happen to Marnix? - [Liesbet.]
They're investigating.
- Was he at fault? - [Simon.]
At fault? He was very nervous, and it was his first time pursuing a suspect, right? That's no excuse.
So we've got a dead body that's not part of the case.
And that's what happens, Liesbet, if you put a rookie in the field before he's ready.
My suggestion is that you turn your focus on Mozes.
The Ethics Board will deal with Marnix.
The commandments about honoring your mother and father We know the video was uploaded at the nursing home, and we know their security cameras were disabled.
Those are the facts.
Go from there.
My career isn't the only one on the line here.
Then what do you care? You're retiring next year, huh? And what does that matter? That guy's life is never gonna be the same again.
I know.
[chattering.]
Hopefully, she's so far gone she won't even realize that Serge is dead.
That's harsh.
[Peter.]
You think? I don't know.
My mother had dementia and eventually she didn't care about anything, not about my wife leaving me or my father getting sick.
In a way, a blessing That was your "bad year"? My what? You got divorced and lost your parents in the same year.
Right? How do you know that? I heard it.
Oh, yeah.
Paulien, of course.
Degraeve Estates - a family of yours? Yeah.
My daughter is looking for a cheap apartment.
- Maybe you could check if - I don't talk to them.
[Vicky.]
What? - She already knows? - [Emmy.]
Yeah.
We had to let her know.
We were not gonna let her find out from somebody else.
And? We had to give her a sedative to calm her down.
Right now, she's in the chapel with Roelof.
[Roelof.]
"Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give" "Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
" [Marnix.]
Yeah, no, it was Simon I think.
We We We were patrolling after dark, so Yeah, and Simon He said that he saw something moving.
I looked and I knew "That man doesn't belong here" Stop! Police! [gunshot.]
[Simon.]
Fuck.
And then we both pursued the suspect each from opposite directions.
[Peter.]
A private Mass? [Roelof.]
Is that so strange? For some people, one Mass a week isn't enough.
People here feel lonely.
I'm just trying to show God is always there for them.
Speaking from experience? When I was in great need He saved me.
- Psalm 116, verse 6.
- [Peter.]
Yeah.
And did He also save you from that staff meeting the day before yesterday? No.
God had little to do with that.
I walked out of that meeting because I didn't feel like hearing the bullshit - we're having to make more cuts.
We're working with human beings here.
Did you upload Sophie Van de Kerckhove's video to YouTube? I did not.
How would I have gotten the video? Maybe you're the one who made it.
I wish I did.
That Mozes guy At least he has the courage to react.
React to what? [Roelof.]
Look around you.
That filth Cancer.
Porn.
Loneliness.
Greed.
And no one does anything.
- [Peter.]
Except for Mozes.
- Yes.
- Mozes takes action.
- Right, yeah.
Setting people on fire, cutting out their tongues, mutilating them Is that making the world Godly? What matters is that everyone's eyes are now open.
And as far as I know, Mozes hasn't punished anyone who didn't deserve it.
[woman.]
Roelof? I'm sorry.
Do you have time to pray with me? [Roelof.]
Yes, I'll be right there.
[investigator.]
So you saw the first shot? [Simon.]
Yeah.
I was practically standing next to him.
[investigator.]
Yes? Yeah.
Elaborate.
[Simon.]
What should I say? What do you think? Marnix fired a warning shot.
That's true.
[gunshot.]
[Simon.]
Fuck.
[sinister music plays.]
[gunshot.]
[Simon.]
Fuck.
[investigator.]
A flashlight? It was dark.
It looked like a weapon.
And Marnix couldn't have seen that it was a flashlight? [Simon sighs.]
Like I said, it was dark, right? And Marnix had his back to the victim.
It was instinct, OK? The wrong instinct, but not malicious intent.
[investigator.]
Right.
So it was kind of a reaction made in panic, would you say? No one can stay completely calm under these circumstances.
- [investigator.]
Yeah, I get it.
- No, you don't.
- Trust me, I understand.
- Alright.
I understand, but We spoke to a resident at the nursing home.
And that person said that the time between the first and second shot was about a minute.
One minute? - [investigator.]
At least.
- Impossible.
Ten or fifteen seconds at the most.
[investigator clears throat.]
Listen, Simon.
Before this, I worked Vice, OK? These kinds of incidents They were Well, I mean, I get it.
I get that your instinct is to protect your partner.
But if you lie You know what the consequences are? Why would I lie? You tell me.
I have nothing more to say.
OK? And? Don't talk to me, asshole.
It's not illegal, you know, to conduct a private Mass.
Roelof's an interesting character.
[Vicky.]
You're telling me.
But he has an alibi.
Work, charity work, more charity work - The holy man's holy.
- But he's not Mozes.
I called off the teams surveilling the nursing home.
Too much overtime.
But the local police will patrol the area.
Mozes is planning something there.
We don't know that.
And either way, we're keeping an eye on it.
[Vicky.]
Liesbet's gonna lose it when she finds out.
[Peter sighs.]
We're off the clock.
It's our free time, right? Are you OK being here? [blues music plays over stereo.]
I've got nothing going on.
No? Your life is that boring? - Don't start with me, too.
- Oh, pardon.
My bad.
POLICE [Peter.]
I just thought you're a young woman.
You must go out, hit up a bar, grab drinks with friends.
Maybe catch a movie with a boyfriend? To the movies? Do people still do that? [Peter.]
Yeah, sure.
No boyfriend.
That makes it easy.
And I don't play softball.
[Peter.]
What's that? - Look, look, look! - [Peter.]
He's here.
Check the nursing home.
- Shouldn't we stay together? - [Peter.]
No.
[dramatic rock music plays.]
[moaning and chattering.]
[Peter.]
Show me your hands.
[Peter grunts.]
[suspect grunts.]
[suspect yells.]
[grunting.]
[suspects yells.]
[Peter yells in pain.]
[engine starts.]
[ominous music plays.]
[Vicky.]
What's going on? The sprinklers came on, but the fire alarm didn't go off.
- What? Where's the shut-off valve? - Downstairs, in the basement.
HONOR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER You were right.
The great flood.
It's Biblical, alright.
So now he's accomplished part of his goal.
These children will take care of their parents.
And part two as well - the whole world will know.
Have they asked about Mozes yet? I don't think they've made the connection.
OK.
The less attention that madman gets, the better.
But I'm afraid [Roelof over TV.]
Yes, I think Mozes did this.
And it proves that Mozes is not the monster you make him out to be.
No, it proves that he wants to bring people together into a world of respect, a world of mutual trust.
[Liesbet.]
We have our most experienced people working on this.
I am confident that we'll be getting results soon.
[TV shuts off.]
Dad, you're a celebrity.
I saw you on the news.
[Peter scoffs and groans.]
[sighs.]
How is house hunting? - Bad.
- No feet on the chairs.
I can't find anything affordable.
There's student housing, but the landlords are just criminals.
I'm not gonna keep looking for fucking ever.
Oh, well.
So you'll be staying at your fucking mom's house, right? No, I just need a bigger budget.
I'll have to work more and give up on yoga, even though that's going really well right now.
Alex wants to help.
With looking? [Sara.]
With paying.
He just wants to get me out of the house.
He can stick his money right up his ass.
I don't want any help from him.
How much more do you need? Two hundred, if I don't want to live in a moldy dump.
I can try to help you.
Really? That's sweet.
- But Dad, I have to be sure that - Yeah, yeah.
OK.
Two hundred, right? OK, two hundred.
Yeah.
[gentle piano music plays.]
[investigator.]
Good morning.
- Take a seat.
- [Marnix.]
Thank you.
[investigator.]
So [music plays loudly through headphones.]
Simon? [music stops playing.]
[Simon.]
Better, grandpa? - Are you OK, Simon? - [Simon.]
I'm OK.
- How did the Ethics Board go? - [Simon.]
Real good.
[Peter.]
What did you say? I answered their questions.
Did you lie? - Is this another interrogation, or what? - Whoa.
I'm sorry.
I did what anyone would do for their partner, alright? OK, the case is most likely going to be dismissed.
Legitimate self-defense.
So they believed you? [Marnix.]
Believed me? I told them the truth.
I felt threatened, and protected myself and shot the guy, yeah.
So no suspension? [Marnix.]
No, just desk work until the verdict.
OK.
What's the next commandment? Thou shalt not kill.
[ominous music plays.]
REVENGE? HANG THEM MOZES SENDS EMAIL TO MEDIA [video plays through laptop.]
[music plays loudly through headphones.]
- What the fuck? - Watch your language, Vicky, please.
[Vicky.]
Look at this.
[Marnix.]
Hey.
Simon.
Hey, come look at this.
[Vicky.]
Mozes sent this to all the newspaper editors.
NEIGHBORHOOD ROW ESCALATES [Vicky.]
An argument between neighbors.
I've got a bad feeling about this.
This feels more like some kind of diversion.
You could be right.
Who do we talk to first? [Peter.]
I don't want to waste our time.
Let's split up.
I'll take the bed and breakfast.
You talk to the neighbors.
Alright.
[Liesbet.]
Can I have your attention? I'd like to thank you for showing up so quickly.
Until further notice, we have no reason to believe the emails sent to your offices were anything more than a prank.
For now, we're treating this simply as a domestic disturbance.
So there's not much to see here, OK? If you'll excuse me - [reporter.]
One more question.
One more! - [reporter #2.]
Who else got the email? - [doorbell rings.]
- [reporter #2.]
What about the clergy? [reporter.]
Commissioner! One more question.
[doorbell rings.]
[Peter.]
Have you been seeing the news about the man they call Mozes? [man.]
Hmm, yeah.
I saw a story about it last night.
Something about the Ten Commandments.
Yeah, and that man or woman has sent an email to the press containing an article about your argument with the woman next door.
[woman.]
I did not kill that dog.
I know that asshole next door likes to tell everyone I did, but I swear I didn't touch that animal.
Look, whenever that dog would see my son, he would start barking.
And whenever my son would see that dog, he would start screaming.
[man.]
There's only one person who kept complaining about Pluto.
Until I found him dead in my driveway.
Was there an autopsy done? No, I didn't think of that, no.
I was devastated.
And you're still accusing her, why? I didn't accuse her.
I told that reporter my dog had died and that I wouldn't be surprised if the lady next door was the person that poisoned him.
So you filed a complaint three weeks ago.
I filed a complaint, yeah.
I didn't kill him.
[boy yells.]
- [boy screams.]
- [woman.]
Klaasje.
- [woman.]
Klaasje.
- [Klaasje screams.]
- [Klaasje screams.]
- Klaasje, it's alright.
Can you hear that? You hear that kid? That was supposed to be my dog's fault? But it didn't stop, did it? [Klaasje screams.]
- It's not that bad.
- [man.]
Not that bad? You try coming back here in the summer.
He's outside all day and all night.
I don't think it's unreasonable asking her to keep him inside.
I can't even have people over.
Sir, I'd like you to come with me, please.
This way.
Come on.
- [reporter.]
Do we have a couple suspects? - [reporter #2.]
Sir, was it Mozes? [Peter.]
No, no, no.
Don't bother.
You're wasting your time, just like I am.
Is Mozes more than one person? I have been asked to not comment on this.
What do I think of this so-called Mozes? Well, in my personal opinion, I think Mozes is a coward.
If he really wants to change the world, he should stop playing these idiotic games and show his goddamn face.
Show us your face like a real man, Mr.
Mozes.
- Is that enough? Hmm? Thank you.
- Could you clarify your statement? [reporter #2.]
People are scared.
No, wait, wait! [reporter.]
Do you really want to meet Mozes? [Liesbet sighs.]
Start talking now.
Open your mouth, say what the problem is and find a solution.
But for God's sake, stop acting like children.
The world is childish enough already.
Come on, Vicky.
[Peter through laptop.]
Show us your face like a real man, Mr.
Mozes.
Why are you provoking Mozes on TV? He's playing with us.
I'll play, too.
The presiding judge on this case is not a fan of games.
He is a fan of results, right? And how is that going to get us results? Maybe he'll get angry, make a mistake In the future, I want things run by me, beforehand.
[Peter.]
It was a last-second call.
But you have a point.
OK, OK.
Don't make me put you on desk work until retirement.
I will.
I'll get some surveillance.
I don't think that it's needed.
I think that tip-off was false.
What's that based on? I'm arranging surveillance.
Vicky.
How did you find me? The Internet.
There aren't many bronzesmiths named Felix.
Nice.
Come on in.
- [Felix.]
Are you good? - [Vicky.]
Sure.
- I was finishing some things off.
- Yeah, no, it's cool.
[sinister music plays.]
[music stops abruptly.]
So us meeting yesterday was not a coincidence.
I know.
There's no coincidence.
If we met each other, that's because we were meant to meet.
I don't believe in it.
Coincidence doesn't exist.
Are you sad? [Peter.]
What? I like a melancholy man.
You don't have any staff? Staff? No.
If something goes wrong, it's my own fault.
[Vicky.]
Is there a lot that can go wrong? [Felix.]
Sure.
But you just start over again.
Sometimes you can't.
What do you mean? You learn from your mistakes.
Yeah, but still Everyone can make mistakes, but you can't? Are you the exception? Maybe, yeah.
You shouldn't think like that, because then you're saying you're not good enough, that you're worth less than others.
And, that isn't true.
Is it? I have to go.
Bye.
Vicky.
Your name is Peter, right? Yeah.
My daughter told me about you.
Listen, I'm not really into apologies and I'm also not into saying sorry for everything, but she said you really helped her out with her homework.
So maybe I didn't need to yell at you the other night.
No.
- Maybe you didn't.
- She thinks you're cool.
- That's not exactly what I'd call myself - And your daughter, too.
OK.
I'll tell her.
From now on, I'll have more time to help her out with her homework.
I mean, those losers fired me.
My kid was really sick.
What was I supposed to do? Leave her home, alone? Well, I'll probably find a new job soon, I guess.
Well, if I can help, just [breathes heavily.]
[Vicky laughs.]
[melancholic music plays.]
[car horn blaring.]
- [loud crash.]
- [woman screams.]
- [woman screaming.]
- [loud crash.]
[sinister music plays.]
[Vicky.]
Mozes' email about the neighbors' fight is everywhere.
[Peter.]
Yep.
And it was sent from an internet cafe in the center of town.
[Simon.]
Internet cafe? IS MOZES RIGHT? [Simon.]
I know it.
It's shady.
There's no way the owner's gonna tell us who his customers are.
No way.
Have we checked the search history on the computers? Yeah, it's a good idea.
If only we'd thought of that a bit earlier.
Excuse me.
- [Vicky.]
There you go.
- Thank you.
I found that in my mailbox this morning.
- I've been sick to my stomach all day.
- [Peter.]
I understand.
It's not very polite, what he wrote to you.
How frustrated can you get? But didn't you two talk together? - Where did you end up? - [Sandra.]
Where did we end up? Some people don't give an inch.
You don't really talk with Bert.
You You bicker, you yell So? So now it's actually worse than it was before.
"The noise from your retard is getting on everyone's nerves.
" [Vicky.]
Jesus Christ.
Don't they get fed up with themselves? [Peter chuckles.]
- Thanks.
- VoilÃÂ .
She's insane.
That message on Facebook saying I wrote it - I swear, I had nothing to do with it.
- The letter says some insulting things.
I'm telling you, I didn't write it.
I I'm getting all these calls from all these reporters.
No other news to report? At first glance, I don't see anything suspect, but we'll take the laptop.
Do you have to? All my stuff is on there.
Back-ups usually help.
What if Mozes thinks that I did write that letter? What happens then? I just [sighs.]
What if he thinks I should pay for it? I wouldn't assume that.
And if I could give you a word of advice, talk to the press.
Tell your story, otherwise you'll remain guilty.
Is that it? [sinister music plays.]
[Sandra.]
My son's life was threatened this morning, and now he steals the show.
You can also tell your side of the story, right? - Oh, we have one more question.
- Yeah.
Did you write that letter to yourself? More accusations? Killing a dog, writing abusive letters to myself? We have to exhaust all of the possibilities.
We need your laptop and your printer to see if there's foul play.
If you say so.
People don't realize how unbearable all this has been.
I can't take it anymore.
I have to put my son in a home.
It's gonna be the best for everyone.
[cell phone rings.]
[Peter.]
Yes, Simon? Oh, yeah, that internet cafe.
OK.
We won't need your computer after all.
We've got a name.
OK.
Sorry to disturb you.
[Peter.]
Be strong.
[Vicky.]
There.
[doorbell rings.]
- [Peter.]
Good evening.
- Good evening.
[Peter.]
Peter Devriendt, Vicky Degraeve We're detectives.
We have some questions for you.
[suspect over speaker.]
They've been at each other's throats for years.
They fight like cats and dogs.
So you thought you should step in and intervene? [suspect.]
I wanted to support Mozes, to show he may have a point.
But I didn't think it would have such a big impact.
That turned out to be nothing.
He's just a fan of his work.
And a loser, a lookie-loo, and a copycat.
[Liesbet.]
The more I try to downplay this case, the bigger it gets.
Ladies and gentlemen.
It's official Marnix Santermans has been acquitted.
Ruled as self-defense.
I'll get my gun back and I'll be cleared of all blame.
Cleared of all blame.
[chuckles.]
We should drink to that, right? Santermans' treat.
Come on, guys.
It's Friday night.
We can sleep in tomorrow.
Simon? You still killed a man, Marnix.
[cell phone rings.]
[Liesbet.]
Goddammit.
Hello? He was recently in studio and now we've got him on the phone - theologist Jos Schatteman.
Mr.
Schatteman, after today's turbulent events, can you explain the growing popularity of this Mozes? [Jos over phone.]
Yeah, well, Mozes was first seen as a criminal.
But after his stunt at the nursing home and his reaction to intolerance, as we saw today, people are realizing he's operating with a clear mission.
And that mission is gaining approval, so much so that copycats are showing up.
People are jumping into each other's conflicts.
What this means is the themes and motivations behind Mozes' work are shared by many.
We live in a world where we send our elderly to nursing homes like trash to the incinerator DOING ANYTHING TONIGHT? [Jos.]
where mothers write horrible letters about their own children and blame their neighbor.
I think it's time to reflect.
Again, I want to be clear, I don't approve of Mozes' methods.
But I can easily imagine people who would support him.
People who think it's time the world became a place where we no longer neglect moral responsibility, where we really listen to each other, where we care about dignity and integrity again.
In their eyes, someone like Mozes is the person who could make the world a little more bearable.
[chattering and laughter.]
[buzzer rings.]
[ominous music plays.]
[loud thud.]
[Marnix groans.]
[Vicky gasping.]
[Els giggles.]
[ominous music continues playing.]
[Marnix groaning.]
[Marnix.]
Help.
Help.
[ear-splitting heavy metal plays.]
[Marnix screams.]
A fucking flashlight.
He shot an innocent man over a fucking flashlight.
It was dark.
This is just what we needed.
Look at this moron.
Whoa, whoa, stop.
This isn't the time.
- What about freedom of the press? - Freedom of the press, my ass.
- Find something else to photograph.
- Leave me alone.
- Whoa! - Hey.
I made myself clear.
One more picture and I'm taking you downtown.
Do you hear me? What's up, man? Are you leaving, or what? - Yeah.
- Yeah? Get out of here.
- Asshole.
- I heard that, bearded prick.
[doorbell ringing.]
[man.]
Yes? Hello? Vicky? Vicky, wait.
Vicky [engine revving.]
[TV show playing.]
[TV turns off.]
[slow piano music plays.]
- [Sara.]
I think I fell asleep.
- [Peter.]
Shh Go back to sleep.
[Sara.]
I have to go home.
[Peter.]
No, no.
You can stay here, OK? [sinister music plays.]
[Liesbet.]
He died where he stood.
[Peter.]
We saw Serge yesterday at the home.
[Liesbet.]
The media's going to love this.
Media? Will you stop with the media? I'm sick of hearing about the media.
- How is Marnix? - Bad.
He killed someone.
[Simon sighs heavily.]
SHOOTING AT ALEGRIA NURSING HOME, ONE DEAD What was Serge doing there in the middle of the night? They found Oxycodone and Fentanyl in his pocket from the nursing home's pharmacy.

In a way, a blessing That was your "bad year"? My what? You got divorced and lost your parents in the same year.

Oh, yeah.
Paulien, of course.
Degraeve Estates - a family of yours? Yeah.
My daughter is looking for a cheap apartment.
- Maybe you could check if - I don't talk to them.

Look around you.
That filth Cancer.
Porn.
Loneliness.
Greed.
And no one does anything.
- [Peter.]
Except for Mozes.
- Yes.
- Mozes takes action.
- Right, yeah.
Setting people on fire, cutting out their tongues, mutilating them Is that making the world Godly? What matters is that everyone's eyes are now open.
And as far as I know, Mozes hasn't punished anyone who didn't deserve it.
[woman.]
Roelof? I'm sorry.
Do you have time to pray with me? [Roelof.]
Yes, I'll be right there.
[investigator.]
So you saw the first shot? [Simon.]
Yeah.
I was practically standing next to him.
[investigator.]
Yes? Yeah.
Elaborate.
[Simon.]
What should I say? What do you think? Marnix fired a warning shot.
That's true.
[gunshot.]
[Simon.]
Fuck.
[sinister music plays.]
[gunshot.]
[Simon.]
Fuck.
[investigator.]
A flashlight? It was dark.
It looked like a weapon.
And Marnix couldn't have seen that it was a flashlight? [Simon sighs.]
Like I said, it was dark, right? And Marnix had his back to the victim.
It was instinct, OK? The wrong instinct, but not malicious intent.
[investigator.]
Right.
So it was kind of a reaction made in panic, would you say? No one can stay completely calm under these circumstances.
- [investigator.]
Yeah, I get it.
- No, you don't.
- Trust me, I understand.
- Alright.
I understand, but We spoke to a resident at the nursing home.
And that person said that the time between the first and second shot was about a minute.
One minute? - [investigator.]
At least.
- Impossible.
Ten or fifteen seconds at the most.
[investigator clears throat.]
Listen, Simon.
Before this, I worked Vice, OK? These kinds of incidents They were Well, I mean, I get it.
I get that your instinct is to protect your partner.
But if you lie You know what the consequences are? Why would I lie? You tell me.
I have nothing more to say.
OK? And? Don't talk to me, asshole.
It's not illegal, you know, to conduct a private Mass.
Roelof's an interesting character.
[Vicky.]
You're telling me.
But he has an alibi.
Work, charity work, more charity work - The holy man's holy.
- But he's not Mozes.
I called off the teams surveilling the nursing home.
Too much overtime.
But the local police will patrol the area.
Mozes is planning something there.
We don't know that.
And either way, we're keeping an eye on it.
[Vicky.]
Liesbet's gonna lose it when she finds out.
[Peter sighs.]
We're off the clock.
It's our free time, right? Are you OK being here? [blues music plays over stereo.]
I've got nothing going on.
No? Your life is that boring? - Don't start with me, too.
- Oh, pardon.
My bad.
POLICE [Peter.]
I just thought you're a young woman.
You must go out, hit up a bar, grab drinks with friends.
Maybe catch a movie with a boyfriend? To the movies? Do people still do that? [Peter.]
Yeah, sure.
No boyfriend.
That makes it easy.
And I don't play softball.
[Peter.]
What's that? - Look, look, look! - [Peter.]
He's here.
Check the nursing home.
- Shouldn't we stay together? - [Peter.]
No.
[dramatic rock music plays.]
[moaning and chattering.]
[Peter.]
Show me your hands.
[Peter grunts.]
[suspect grunts.]
[suspect yells.]
[grunting.]
[suspects yells.]
[Peter yells in pain.]
[engine starts.]
[ominous music plays.]
[Vicky.]
What's going on? The sprinklers came on, but the fire alarm didn't go off.
- What? Where's the shut-off valve? - Downstairs, in the basement.
HONOR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER You were right.
The great flood.
It's Biblical, alright.
So now he's accomplished part of his goal.
These children will take care of their parents.
And part two as well - the whole world will know.
Have they asked about Mozes yet? I don't think they've made the connection.
OK.
The less attention that madman gets, the better.
But I'm afraid [Roelof over TV.]
Yes, I think Mozes did this.
And it proves that Mozes is not the monster you make him out to be.
No, it proves that he wants to bring people together into a world of respect, a world of mutual trust.
[Liesbet.]
We have our most experienced people working on this.
I am confident that we'll be getting results soon.
[TV shuts off.]
Dad, you're a celebrity.
I saw you on the news.
[Peter scoffs and groans.]
[sighs.]
How is house hunting? - Bad.
- No feet on the chairs.
I can't find anything affordable.
There's student housing, but the landlords are just criminals.
I'm not gonna keep looking for fucking ever.
Oh, well.
So you'll be staying at your fucking mom's house, right? No, I just need a bigger budget.
I'll have to work more and give up on yoga, even though that's going really well right now.
Alex wants to help.
With looking? [Sara.]
With paying.
He just wants to get me out of the house.
He can stick his money right up his ass.
I don't want any help from him.
How much more do you need? Two hundred, if I don't want to live in a moldy dump.
I can try to help you.
Really? That's sweet.
- But Dad, I have to be sure that - Yeah, yeah.
OK.
Two hundred, right? OK, two hundred.
Yeah.
[gentle piano music plays.]
[investigator.]
Good morning.
- Take a seat.
- [Marnix.]
Thank you.
[investigator.]
So [music plays loudly through headphones.]
Simon? [music stops playing.]
[Simon.]
Better, grandpa? - Are you OK, Simon? - [Simon.]
I'm OK.
- How did the Ethics Board go? - [Simon.]
Real good.
[Peter.]
What did you say? I answered their questions.
Did you lie? - Is this another interrogation, or what? - Whoa.
I'm sorry.
I did what anyone would do for their partner, alright? OK, the case is most likely going to be dismissed.
Legitimate self-defense.
So they believed you? [Marnix.]
Believed me? I told them the truth.
I felt threatened, and protected myself and shot the guy, yeah.
So no suspension? [Marnix.]
No, just desk work until the verdict.
OK.
What's the next commandment? Thou shalt not kill.
[ominous music plays.]
REVENGE? HANG THEM MOZES SENDS EMAIL TO MEDIA [video plays through laptop.]
[music plays loudly through headphones.]
- What the fuck? - Watch your language, Vicky, please.
[Vicky.]
Look at this.
[Marnix.]
Hey.
Simon.
Hey, come look at this.
[Vicky.]
Mozes sent this to all the newspaper editors.
NEIGHBORHOOD ROW ESCALATES [Vicky.]
An argument between neighbors.
I've got a bad feeling about this.
This feels more like some kind of diversion.
You could be right.
Who do we talk to first? [Peter.]
I don't want to waste our time.
Let's split up.
I'll take the bed and breakfast.
You talk to the neighbors.
Alright.
[Liesbet.]
Can I have your attention? I'd like to thank you for showing up so quickly.
Until further notice, we have no reason to believe the emails sent to your offices were anything more than a prank.
For now, we're treating this simply as a domestic disturbance.
So there's not much to see here, OK? If you'll excuse me - [reporter.]
One more question.
One more! - [reporter #2.]
Who else got the email? - [doorbell rings.]
- [reporter #2.]
What about the clergy? [reporter.]
Commissioner! One more question.
[doorbell rings.]
[Peter.]
Have you been seeing the news about the man they call Mozes? [man.]
Hmm, yeah.
I saw a story about it last night.
Something about the Ten Commandments.
Yeah, and that man or woman has sent an email to the press containing an article about your argument with the woman next door.
[woman.]
I did not kill that dog.
I know that asshole next door likes to tell everyone I did, but I swear I didn't touch that animal.
Look, whenever that dog would see my son, he would start barking.
And whenever my son would see that dog, he would start screaming.
[man.]
There's only one person who kept complaining about Pluto.
Until I found him dead in my driveway.
Was there an autopsy done? No, I didn't think of that, no.
I was devastated.
And you're still accusing her, why? I didn't accuse her.
I told that reporter my dog had died and that I wouldn't be surprised if the lady next door was the person that poisoned him.
So you filed a complaint three weeks ago.
I filed a complaint, yeah.
I didn't kill him.
[boy yells.]
- [boy screams.]
- [woman.]
Klaasje.
- [woman.]
Klaasje.
- [Klaasje screams.]
- [Klaasje screams.]
- Klaasje, it's alright.
Can you hear that? You hear that kid? That was supposed to be my dog's fault? But it didn't stop, did it? [Klaasje screams.]
- It's not that bad.
- [man.]
Not that bad? You try coming back here in the summer.
He's outside all day and all night.
I don't think it's unreasonable asking her to keep him inside.
I can't even have people over.
Sir, I'd like you to come with me, please.
This way.
Come on.
- [reporter.]
Do we have a couple suspects? - [reporter #2.]
Sir, was it Mozes? [Peter.]
No, no, no.
Don't bother.
You're wasting your time, just like I am.
Is Mozes more than one person? I have been asked to not comment on this.
What do I think of this so-called Mozes? Well, in my personal opinion, I think Mozes is a coward.
If he really wants to change the world, he should stop playing these idiotic games and show his goddamn face.
Show us your face like a real man, Mr.
Mozes.
- Is that enough? Hmm? Thank you.
- Could you clarify your statement? [reporter #2.]
People are scared.
No, wait, wait! [reporter.]
Do you really want to meet Mozes? [Liesbet sighs.]
Start talking now.
Open your mouth, say what the problem is and find a solution.
But for God's sake, stop acting like children.
The world is childish enough already.
Come on, Vicky.
[Peter through laptop.]
Show us your face like a real man, Mr.
Mozes.
Why are you provoking Mozes on TV? He's playing with us.
I'll play, too.
The presiding judge on this case is not a fan of games.
He is a fan of results, right? And how is that going to get us results? Maybe he'll get angry, make a mistake In the future, I want things run by me, beforehand.
[Peter.]
It was a last-second call.
But you have a point.
OK, OK.
Don't make me put you on desk work until retirement.
I will.
I'll get some surveillance.
I don't think that it's needed.
I think that tip-off was false.
What's that based on? I'm arranging surveillance.
Vicky.
How did you find me? The Internet.
There aren't many bronzesmiths named Felix.
Nice.
Come on in.
- [Felix.]
Are you good? - [Vicky.]
Sure.
- I was finishing some things off.
- Yeah, no, it's cool.
[sinister music plays.]
[music stops abruptly.]
So us meeting yesterday was not a coincidence.
I know.
There's no coincidence.
If we met each other, that's because we were meant to meet.
I don't believe in it.
Coincidence doesn't exist.
Are you sad? [Peter.]
What? I like a melancholy man.
You don't have any staff? Staff? No.
If something goes wrong, it's my own fault.
[Vicky.]
Is there a lot that can go wrong? [Felix.]
Sure.
But you just start over again.
Sometimes you can't.
What do you mean? You learn from your mistakes.
Yeah, but still Everyone can make mistakes, but you can't? Are you the exception? Maybe, yeah.
You shouldn't think like that, because then you're saying you're not good enough, that you're worth less than others.
And, that isn't true.
Is it? I have to go.
Bye.
Vicky.
Your name is Peter, right? Yeah.
My daughter told me about you.
Listen, I'm not really into apologies and I'm also not into saying sorry for everything, but she said you really helped her out with her homework.
So maybe I didn't need to yell at you the other night.
No.
- Maybe you didn't.
- She thinks you're cool.
- That's not exactly what I'd call myself - And your daughter, too.
OK.
I'll tell her.
From now on, I'll have more time to help her out with her homework.
I mean, those losers fired me.
My kid was really sick.
What was I supposed to do? Leave her home, alone? Well, I'll probably find a new job soon, I guess.
Well, if I can help, just [breathes heavily.]
[Vicky laughs.]
[melancholic music plays.]
[car horn blaring.]
- [loud crash.]
- [woman screams.]
- [woman screaming.]
- [loud crash.]
[sinister music plays.]
[Vicky.]
Mozes' email about the neighbors' fight is everywhere.
[Peter.]
Yep.
And it was sent from an internet cafe in the center of town.
[Simon.]
Internet cafe? IS MOZES RIGHT? [Simon.]
I know it.
It's shady.
There's no way the owner's gonna tell us who his customers are.
No way.
Have we checked the search history on the computers? Yeah, it's a good idea.
If only we'd thought of that a bit earlier.
Excuse me.
- [Vicky.]
There you go.
- Thank you.
I found that in my mailbox this morning.
- I've been sick to my stomach all day.
- [Peter.]
I understand.
It's not very polite, what he wrote to you.
How frustrated can you get? But didn't you two talk together? - Where did you end up? - [Sandra.]
Where did we end up? Some people don't give an inch.
You don't really talk with Bert.
You You bicker, you yell So? So now it's actually worse than it was before.
"The noise from your retard is getting on everyone's nerves.
" [Vicky.]
Jesus Christ.
Don't they get fed up with themselves? [Peter chuckles.]
- Thanks.
- VoilÃÂ .
She's insane.
That message on Facebook saying I wrote it - I swear, I had nothing to do with it.
- The letter says some insulting things.
I'm telling you, I didn't write it.
I I'm getting all these calls from all these reporters.
No other news to report? At first glance, I don't see anything suspect, but we'll take the laptop.
Do you have to? All my stuff is on there.
Back-ups usually help.
What if Mozes thinks that I did write that letter? What happens then? I just [sighs.]
What if he thinks I should pay for it? I wouldn't assume that.
And if I could give you a word of advice, talk to the press.
Tell your story, otherwise you'll remain guilty.
Is that it? [sinister music plays.]
[Sandra.]
My son's life was threatened this morning, and now he steals the show.
You can also tell your side of the story, right? - Oh, we have one more question.
- Yeah.
Did you write that letter to yourself? More accusations? Killing a dog, writing abusive letters to myself? We have to exhaust all of the possibilities.
We need your laptop and your printer to see if there's foul play.
If you say so.
People don't realize how unbearable all this has been.
I can't take it anymore.
I have to put my son in a home.
It's gonna be the best for everyone.
[cell phone rings.]
[Peter.]
Yes, Simon? Oh, yeah, that internet cafe.
OK.
We won't need your computer after all.
We've got a name.
OK.
Sorry to disturb you.
[Peter.]
Be strong.
[Vicky.]
There.
[doorbell rings.]
- [Peter.]
Good evening.
- Good evening.
[Peter.]
Peter Devriendt, Vicky Degraeve We're detectives.
We have some questions for you.
[suspect over speaker.]
They've been at each other's throats for years.
They fight like cats and dogs.
So you thought you should step in and intervene? [suspect.]
I wanted to support Mozes, to show he may have a point.
But I didn't think it would have such a big impact.
That turned out to be nothing.
He's just a fan of his work.
And a loser, a lookie-loo, and a copycat.
[Liesbet.]
The more I try to downplay this case, the bigger it gets.
Ladies and gentlemen.
It's official Marnix Santermans has been acquitted.
Ruled as self-defense.
I'll get my gun back and I'll be cleared of all blame.
Cleared of all blame.
[chuckles.]
We should drink to that, right? Santermans' treat.
Come on, guys.
It's Friday night.
We can sleep in tomorrow.
Simon? You still killed a man, Marnix.
[cell phone rings.]
[Liesbet.]
Goddammit.
Hello? He was recently in studio and now we've got him on the phone - theologist Jos Schatteman.
Mr.
Schatteman, after today's turbulent events, can you explain the growing popularity of this Mozes? [Jos over phone.]
Yeah, well, Mozes was first seen as a criminal.
But after his stunt at the nursing home and his reaction to intolerance, as we saw today, people are realizing he's operating with a clear mission.
And that mission is gaining approval, so much so that copycats are showing up.
People are jumping into each other's conflicts.
What this means is the themes and motivations behind Mozes' work are shared by many.
We live in a world where we send our elderly to nursing homes like trash to the incinerator DOING ANYTHING TONIGHT? [Jos.]
where mothers write horrible letters about their own children and blame their neighbor.
I think it's time to reflect.
Again, I want to be clear, I don't approve of Mozes' methods.
But I can easily imagine people who would support him.
People who think it's time the world became a place where we no longer neglect moral responsibility, where we really listen to each other, where we care about dignity and integrity again.
In their eyes, someone like Mozes is the person who could make the world a little more bearable.
[chattering and laughter.]
[buzzer rings.]
[ominous music plays.]
[loud thud.]
[Marnix groans.]
[Vicky gasping.]
[Els giggles.]
[ominous music continues playing.]
[Marnix groaning.]
[Marnix.]
Help.
Help.
[ear-splitting heavy metal plays.]
[Marnix screams.]
