"De Cock And Revenge With No End" "Maybe you shouldn't look." "It must have happened from behind." "De Cock, his little daughter was with him." "Hey, Michelle." "I was the one who had to die." "We'd better start." "Can one of you go with her?" "I'll go." "Did she see anything?" "She might get a visit in hospital." "Shall I arrange surveillance?" "When did he leave the police?" "Five, six years ago?" "Five years this March." "Mr De Cock, was that your ex-colleague?" "Not now, guys." "My condolences, De Cock." "Let me know if I can do anything." "Nobody goes on leave." "Peter De Beer was one of the last." "One of the last?" "From before the couch potato generation." "Renée, you're quick." "My readers expect a story tomorrow." "And you thought you'd get it from me?" "Ah, you don't know anything." "I knew him and..." "You're not the only one." "He was working on a book about cases he'd never been able to solve." "Which cases?" "I'd have to check my notes." "Right, no freebees." "Dick... take care." "Ms Goes, can I ask you to..." "Did you reach Peter's wife?" "She's not answering." "We've started on the last files Peter De Beer worked on." "Better focus on the unsolved cases." "Why is that?" "I was told he's writing a book about them." "Does she want another exclusive?" "Renée Goes." "Do we have a key to Peter's house?" "Only his own fingerprints." "That's strange." "What?" "Peter didn't smoke." "I don't have much, De Cock." "He was stabbed from behind." "They struggled." "Except those cuts..." "What about them?" "They're strange." "Smooth, frayed." "A serrated knife, but with no serrations." "De Cock... what about this?" "Is this from the murderer?" "MY PAIN WILL BECOME YOUR PAIN" "Send it to the lab." "UNSOLVED PETER DE BEER" "(UN)SOLVED written by Peter De Beer" "Damn!" "What?" "Six years ago." "A case with Dutch East Indies veterans." "One of them had committed suicide, but something was wrong." "Van Baaijen, Zondervan, Donk..." "FRIENDS OF MALANG FOUNDATION" "You mean the daggers?" "Indonesian kris knives." "Smooth." "Serrated knives with no serrations." "It's possible." "De Cock, we have a visitor!" "I don't know who you are." "Peter was murdered?" "Did you know him well?" "He was my neighbour." "I also know his wife, Sylvia." "And Michelle." "Where's Michelle?" "You said she was there when it happened." "I didn't say that." "You're out and about late." "I keep an eye on things." "People don't do that enough." "Is that so?" "There are always madmen around." "You must know where we can reach Sylvia then." "She's in Indonesia for two months." "She's starting up a clinic." "I have her number at home." "We'd like to get it." "Where is Michelle now?" "In good hands." "She can always come to me." "I have plenty of room." "I live alone." "Here." "Thank you." "Goodnight." "Check him out tomorrow." "Take the car." "I'll go for a walk." "Didn't I say she needs permanent surveillance?" "Permanent." "Six years ago, Peter and I were investigating the death of... a man called Bisschop." "Also a board member of the Friends of Malang Foundation." "What do they do?" "Officially?" "Some charity in Java." "Indonesia." "Yes, but for these men it's still our Dutch East Indies." "Fifty years ago they fought a war there, voluntarily." "My eldest brother was drafted." "He was killed in action." "My name's De Cock." "That's C-O-C-K." "Detective Department." "My colleague, Vledder." "Police?" "Who are you?" "The secretary." "Is anybody from the board present?" "They're in a meeting." "What's it about?" "He knows the way." "Mr Donk." "It's alright, close the door." "Mr De Cock's hunting ghosts again." "Do you remember Mr De Beer?" "Certainly, hard worker." "Which isn't the same as an intelligent man." "He was murdered last night." "And you think you can find his ghost here?" "Still the same cheerful tone of voice." "Your predecessor, Mr De Beer, and your superior have... damaged the reputation of our foundation." "So we're not that sad about De Beer." "But why are you here?" "You're going to tell me where you were last night." "We had a board meeting." "Gentlemen." "What a coincidence." "You had one six years ago as well." "At the moment when Mr Bisschop hung himself miraculously." "Touching that you're still not over the loss." "Can anyone confirm you had a meeting last night?" "At least your new assistant sticks to the facts." "The answer's yes." "Who?" "No one else?" "No one from the Tropical Institute?" "We rent this space." "We have our own entrance." "Our own keys." "We're not in anybody's way." "Anything else?" "Has De Beer contacted any of you lately?" "No." "That was all... for now." "I've got something for you." "De Cock..." "If you bother us again with your filthy insinuations... you'll regret it... a lot." "Do you confirm their alibi?" "I don't know." "I'm never here at night." "May I?" "...asshole." "What do we do now?" "What we always do." "We'll shut up." "Next item on the agenda." "Is this allowed?" "Does Peter De Beer ring a bell?" "No, it doesn't." "But I've only been working here for half a year." "I want to have these men checked out all over again." "Chamber of Commerce, finances, travels, everything." "Shall I ask Renée Goes if De Beer told her anything about this case?" "Yes and also check the secretary." "He was eavesdropping." "You really hate them." "I hate unsolved cases." "And arrogant bastards." "Normally I'm the one who..." "Do you think I'm letting them get to me too much?" "Do you really want to know?" "Bisschop's suicide was staged by them." "How did you know?" "Their stories were as perfect as a Switch watch." "Bisschop's wife was terrified of them." "That's why you thought it was murder." "We didn't think it." "We knew it." "Good news." "A text message from Keizer." ""Michelle released from hospital." "Is at station."" "Hey, Michelle." "Wouldn't you rather go home?" "You can come with me." "Mr Heerooms?" "I wanted to know how she was doing." "Always come to me first." "I had permission." "This is no place for a girl." "Have you contacted Sylvia?" "Good." "If there's anything I can do..." "We'll let you know." "Bye, Michelle." "What did he say exactly?" "He's a creep." "Mommy always says that too." "Donald Heerooms, 42 years old, single." "Science teacher." "No record." "Your mother will be back in two days." "Isn't that nice?" "So you're in year 6." "Is that what they used to call 4th grade?" "No, it's year 6." "You want to know something from me, don't you?" "There was someone in the car." "You were sitting next to your father?" "Peter had to keep driving and then I had to die." "I don't think so, Michelle." "For sure." "But then Peter started to fight." "And then..." "Was it a man?" "A woman?" "I only saw a hat with holes." "A..." "A balaclava." "And panting, strange panting." "Not like that, different." "I don't remember." "When you die, you start to rot, don't you?" "Mrs Hoogstraten, my sister-in-law." "Police." "What do they want?" "They want to see Henk." "He just left for Leeuwarden." "Right?" "And where was he last night?" "My brother doesn't keep his wife informed about every detail." "So he wasn't home?" "No, he was at a meeting." "Is it about the old case?" "You know about that?" "No." "An ex-policeman was murdered last night." "Your husband met him once." "He was here two weeks ago." "Don't say anything." "Is Henk a suspect?" "Not yet." "In case you have something to tell me." "Jerks." "What's wrong, Sophie?" "Terrible things are about to happen again." "To Peter De Beer." "I'll get him, Lowie." "I know." "The good ones always go first." "Don't worry, I still feel fine." "What do we have?" "Van Baaijen was questioned about arms smuggling, two years ago." "Arms?" "I thought he was into antiques." "Did Peter's notes mention weapons?" "Those old colonial types aren't necessarily involved, of course." "That threatening letter reminded me more of a madman." "Was Michelle able to come up with anything?" "The only thing she heard was a panting sound." "Panting?" "Maybe hyperventilation." "I don't mean to... but..." "But?" "Heerooms was short of breath last night." "Anybody home?" "No." "Wait, De Cock." "We're working on the warrant." "Good, then we can start." "Did you find out anything?" "Was in the bathroom." "Dick." "Yes." "This is Sylvia, Peter De Beer's wife." "Shit." "Interesting hobby." "There's our motive." "I'm in love with her." "Their marriage wasn't that good." "Maybe you should have waited for the divorce." "Peter wasn't that nice." "Will my parents hear this?" "Is that all you worry about?" "My colleagues don't need to know that I... am a pervert." "A pervert?" "The dictionary says you're a murderer." "You've got the wrong person." "Give me a break." "You have no alibi and a basement full of motives." "You had to have Sylvia and that's why you slaughtered Peter De Beer." "That's not true." "Can anyone confirm you were home that night?" "You're trying to frame me." "Where's my lawyer?" "He's on the way." "Come on, we've all had a long day." "I'm not saying anything anymore." "What?" "Yes, you have to let him go." "All the proof was obtained illegally." "But there was a warrant." "No, there wasn't." "I didn't have the permission yet." "Even a lawyer's gardener would pick up on this." "Stupid." "Are you sure you can handle this?" "Keep your wits about you, De Cock." "Especially in this case." "This stays between these four walls." "Chief." "Could you wait outside?" "It's urgent." "There's something important missing from Heerooms' file." "I asked you to wait outside." "Hang it back up." "He's outside again." "It's my fault." "Now what?" "Put a car near his house and go to bed." "Did Peter ever mention his neighbour?" "When the police are buying, there must be a catch." "Renée." "Why else would you come to me?" "We had to let him go." "Why?" "Off the record." "Yeah, yeah." "This really has to stay between us." "Don't nag." "We entered his house too early." "A technicality." "Sloppy, Dick." "And you wanted to know if Renée had any information." "Peter never mentioned Heerooms." "Do you think he did it?" "I don't know." "Maybe I've got something." "Peter said Donk made him a very good offer." "What kind of offer?" "Money." "It was about that book." "Those men didn't want any publicity." "And you're telling me only now?" "Why do you talk to me like that?" "It's bloody important information." "You're talking as if I'm working for you." "I'm a journalist, remember?" "And I thought you were Peter's friend." "I was and that's why I'm telling you this." "What are you doing here?" "You have to stop." "Stop what?" "The investigation." "It's going wrong." "Why do you think that?" "You've already lost a colleague and more people will die." ""My pain will become your pain."" "How did you get this?" "Terrible powers are at work." "Fire, pain, lots of pain." "Mrs Donk, do you know how Mr Bisschop was killed?" "Mrs Donk?" "Nice day, sir." "Certainly." "This time he left the weapon behind." "The same kind of wound." "I think you have a big problem, De Cock." "Another burnt match." "This madman is trying to tell us something." "How long has she been dead?" "About two hours." "Where's Dick?" "No idea." "Heerooms hasn't been home last night." "And he hasn't been teaching for two months." "Donk asked me to bring him these files." "Does that happen often?" "No." "It's blood." "I checked her to see if she was still alive" "Can I go?" "Can you come to the station later to make a statement?" "Is this a house search?" "Let go of me!" "Mr Donk!" "I have bad news for you." "Seeing you is bad news." "You're going too far, De Cock." "Your wife's dead." "She was murdered." "Sorry, traffic jam." "Oh?" "I heard that Donk made Peter De Beer an offer if he didn't publish the book." "Did he accept it?" "I don't know." "But you think Peter was bribed." "I only told you what I heard." "Renée Goes." "Proof, Dick." "Insinuations are useless." "Especially about a colleague." "Did I say something wrong?" "Let him be for a bit." "MY PAIN WILL BECOME YOUR PAIN" "I don't know anything about it, De Cock." "Your wife gave me this last night." "She was very scared." "She insisted that I drop this case." "What do you want me to say?" "Did you tell her to do that?" "Of course not." "You said you had a board meeting last night." "You mean the evening your colleague was murdered." "Where were you this morning, between 4 and 9?" "I drove home from Leeuwarden at 6, this morning." "Witnesses?" "Why did Mr Raven have to see you so early, this morning?" "You're turning everybody around me into a suspect again." "Please answer the question." "I had to sign papers and Raven offered to bring them." "He told me you asked him to bring them." "Who's turning who into a suspect?" "Or did you want the body to be found before you got home?" "I lost my wife." "And I lost a colleague." "Please, please!" "How dare you?" "She was the only one I loved." "We celebrated our 46th anniversary, a week ago." "The day your dear colleague told me he was writing a book about the Indies." "He wanted to ruin my reputation for the second time." "That's why I paid him 20,000 guilders." "It's up to you to find out how many more people paid, De Cock." "Now you know everything!" "Dick, check Peter's finances, just to be sure." "And maybe you should take over the case." "What?" "I'm too personally involved." "Have you gone mad?" "You're always personally involved." "That's who you are." "Besides, do you really think Donk will pay 20,000 for no reason?" "Ok, you're right." "Look, it says so here." "POLICE BLUNDERS ON TECHNICALITY" "I told you to go to headquarters." "Mr Heerooms?" "He says he's mentioned in an identifiable way." "We never mention names while the investigation is ongoing." "Initials, the suburb, that he's a teacher, everything." "Where were you last night?" "Why do you ask?" "A second murder has been committed." "I was at my parents'." "You'll regret what you did." "Is that your suspect?" "Strange that he comes here of his own accord." "Maybe he thinks attack is the best form of defence." "She's well informed." "Kris knife, technicality... do you talk in your sleep?" "She hasn't... it's not..." "Hey, Dick." "Hello and thanks a lot." "Come with me." "Off the record." ""Of course, don't nag, Dick."" "Thanks, also on behalf of De Cock." "He might get suspended." "Every idiot who has a kris knife will start confessing to the murders." "I'm very disappointed in you." "Have you finished?" "You can repeat this speech to your PR person." "That's who I got every word from." "He's about to give a press conference that I don't want to miss." "Bye, Dick." "Is Mr De Cock here?" "Yes, inside." "We're getting some fries." "That way." "How does an army man end up with a foundation like this?" "It was either this or disability." "I understand you lost your partner." "That must be hard for you and your daughter." "That picture on your desk was your daughter?" "My daughter's dead." "I didn't know that." "Her mother couldn't handle it." "You could have checked under her name." "I'm sorry." "That's not what I'm here for." "There's something wrong with the Friends of Malang Foundation." "What's wrong?" "They have five projects in East Java." "No one ever checks how they're going." "They don't want any publicity." "Modesty?" "Do well and fear not." "Those men are full of anger about their days in the Indies." "But they never served together." "Donk and Zondervan were in Sumatra during the war." "Bisschop and Van Baaijen were in Java." "That's not the impression I'm getting." "Hoogstraten is the only one who ever goes there." "Donk's sister?" "Yes, the stuck up bitch." "She's on the payroll of Van Baaijen's antiques business." "You don't have anything concrete." "Two murders have been committed." "Those guys scare the hell out of me." "Maybe I shouldn't have come." "We have to work with the facts." "I read in the newspaper that the murders have been committed with a kris knife." "Until last week, there were some kris knives hanging in our board room." "One of them is missing." "Good day." "Which secret do these men share?" "Maybe it's all about the war." "There's a picture from those days on Donk's mantelpiece." "Black and white, five men in uniform." "Go get that picture, Keizer." "Come with me, Dick." "Just who we were talking about." "Take it easy." "We'll do as we agreed." "Back then, the investigation by the intelligence service... didn't come up with anything either." "And we have nothing to do with the death of your assistant." "Nothing at all?" "Nothing." "You also sell kris knives." "Yes, why?" "I'm impressed with the size of your selection." "Really traditional kris knives are hard to find." "But I don't mind trying for a special customer." "Mrs Hoogstraten." "I was told you worked here." "I sometimes lend a hand." "And that's why you often travel to Indonesia." "Beautiful country." "And you have your contacts there." "Of course, antiques are my life." "I wouldn't do that." "Why not?" "Guna guna." "Black magic." "If you just pick it up like that, terrible things could happen." "Believe me." "Guna guna... gado gado." "Shall we have that joint searched?" "If they have illegal stuff, it won't be here." "CLOSED" "The fifth man was Donk's twin, Karel." "Died in kampong Kalianjar, in 1949." "But where was this one taken?" "Is this of any use?" "It's from Zondervan's file." "A dismissal of a military court case." "Bisschop's file contained a dismissal too." "Raven was right." "They did serve together in Kalianjar." "25 February 1949." "One day after the death of Donk's twin." "It can't be a coincidence." "That day, something must have happened that they wanted to cover up." "But what?" "One man can tell us that, if he's still alive." "Judge Advocate Zelig" "His clear-headed moments are becoming rarer." "Mr Zelig. these police men want to talk to you." "We're here about a case from the past: the Indies." "That punk can't have been there." "Could you have a look at this?" "25 February 1949." "They went to clean up a kampong, Kalianjar." "Clean up?" "Attack, clean out." "Five men." "One went ahead, a scout." "He was ambushed." "Died." "Donk's twin." "The others returned a day later." "To Kalianjar." "They burnt everything." "Killed everything." "A hundred women and children." "Why were they never sentenced?" "The government stopped it." "The Geneva Convention doesn't mean a thing." "Investigate anything you want." "My report..." "The nurses won't let me drive a car anymore." "America has Vietnam and we have Indonesia." "Know the good thing about Alzheimer?" "I already heard that one, Dick." "Finally we've got something against them, De Cock." "Shit." "What is it?" "MICHELLE'S MISSING" "We've double-checked everything." "My place?" "Yes." "Maybe she went home." "Heerooms." "Attack's the best form of defence." "Send a car to everyone who's involved in this case." "CLOSED" "Dick." "Now what?" "Peter De Beer's daughter has disappeared." "We have nothing to do with it." "Maybe a solo manoeuvre by General Donk." "Where is he?" "By the way, we know everything." "This is the Association for Indulgence and Redemption." "25 February 1949." "Judge Advocate Zelig remembers that day very well." "A statement from an old demented man?" "We won't even comment." "We know what happened, Donk." "The truth is the first to die in a war." "Clean up kampong Kalianjar?" "It was an order." "From who?" "From the Dutch government?" "Or from a lieutenant whose twin died the day before?" "You don't know what it's like to lose a mate." "I don't?" "Think!" "Is it a reason to burn women and children in their huts?" "That was not the intention." "That's what all war criminals say." "You don't know how we found Karel Donk." "Cut open like a pig." "His balls in his mouth." "He was 18 years old." "Don't say anything!" "Bisschop couldn't live with it." "After 40 years, he wanted to tell his story." "That's why he had to die." "He was about to break his oath of loyalty." "Shut up, Van Baaijen." "So you solved his moral dilemma." "Loyalty comes first." "The case is way too old." "But the murder of Bisschop's recent." "Does loyalty come before the lives of a man and his 11 year old daughter?" "What kind of people are you?" "I swear..." "Don't swear!" "Where's Michelle?" "I have no idea." "Just do what you have to." "What was so important about the letters Raven had to bring this morning?" "I don't know." "He thought they were important." "That's why he offered to bring them." "I already told you." "I've been stupid." "Who told us the kris knife had disappeared?" "Raven." "And who have the key?" "These three old geezers and Raven, but... he found Mrs Donk's body." "That's what I mean." "He's sending us all over the place." "But why?" "I want to know everything about Raven and his wife and child." "Raven's daughter died in a fire." "Peter De Beer and a fireman had to forcibly stop him." "The house belonged to Donk." "I want that fireman's house guarded." "And?" "No one." "We're going in." "What is all this?" "Which army unit was he with?" "Bomb!" "I don't say this often, but I'm glad to see you." "Is this madman going to kill more people?" "He was observing you two as well." "Did you see the pictures?" "Not us." "Michelle." "She said he wanted to kill her." "She was right." "Raven kills the loved ones of those... he holds responsible for his daughter's death." "Donk's wife." ""My pain will become your pain."" "Do we have any ideas about where Michelle is?" "They're checking it out." "The third corpse in three days." "They'll love it." "What are you going to do?" "Make sure we'll call the shots." "I have a statement." "Do you know who did it?" "I can't give you any names yet." "Has he been arrested?" "Not yet, but it's clear we're dealing with a psychopath." "A serial killer?" "A serial killer acts compulsively." "This one murders without a reason." "A cold-blooded killer." "CAUSE OF FIRE:" "SHORT CIRCUIT IN WIRING" "Peter De Beer refunded the money the same day." "I knew it." "Still nothing?" "Has he been arrested?" "Not yet, but it's clear we're dealing with a psychopath." "What if he doesn't react at all?" "He wants to tell his story." "A serial killer acts compulsively." "This one murders without a reason." "A cold-blooded killer." "Asshole, what are you doing?" "Who do you think you are?" "Psychopath." "Psychopath?" "I'll teach you to listen." "Don't hang up." "I'll repeat the location:" "Neveritaweg North." "I promise I'll come alone." "6:30." "But first give me a sign of life from Mi..." "They've got him." "Also North." "The industrial zone." "Think he's holding Michelle there?" "You'll find out." "I'll go see him." "Alone." "You told me to come here and here I am." "You think you've got things under control again." "I'm unarmed." "And I'm alone." "I don't feel that brave right now." "How's Michelle?" "We're not discussing that right now." "Wait a moment." "Raven's with De Cock." "Raven's with De Cock!" "I panicked." "I thought she recognized me at the station." "I had to act." "You were after her." "Peter's death was an accident." "I got a shock when you came to the Malang Foundation." "You forced me to change all my plans." "You succeeded." "But now it's time to solve this terrible case." "You won't solve anything." "I'm here to solve things." "We know what happened to your daughter." "You know?" "You don't know anything." "Do you know what goes on in my head?" "I heard her call out." "I still hear Christie call out." "Six years long, every day!" "I don't know what to say." "You don't have to say anything." "You have to listen." "Just for once!" "I could have saved her!" "But Lagerweij and your colleague stopped me when I heard her scream." "MY PAIN WILL BECOME YOUR PAIN" "De Cock, he's been here." "Did you think I didn't see that coming?" "This case isn't over, De Cock." "This way, guys." "When will it stop, Erwin?" "Oh, I've got your attention!" "Finally." "Jesus Christ." "De Cock, we've got another bomb." "I know why Christie's dead." "A short circuit." "Donk refused to replace the old junk." "Michelle!" "You replaced the wiring yourself." "We're not listening again." "That old geezer refused to replace the old junk." "So you did it and you made a mistake." "And you know it." "Lagerweij, De Beer and Donk." "It's their fault that I lost Christie and my wife." "Your wife committed suicide." "I lost everything!" "Because of those three assholes." "No, Erwin, it was a stupid accident." "An incredibly stupid accident." "But an accident!" "Shut up!" "It was their fault." "Do you hear me?" "It was their fault." "And now Michelle has to go too." "Why do you think I had you come over here." "Revenge doesn't solve anything." "It's not about revenge." "It's about feelings." "Lagerweij, De Beer, Donk." "The worst possible pain and now it's their turn." "And I've got them." "Yes, you've got them." "Yes, I've got them!" "The whole bottom part's fake." "Donk was difficult." "Married to his work." "But when I met his wife, I knew how I could get at him." "I have a red and a yellow wire." "Red or yellow?" "We're not paying attention again." "The girl." "The girl!" "Who's talking about my Christie?" "Michelle, Erwin." "De Cock, thirty seconds." "Thirty seconds." "What do you want, Erwin?" "That you feel what I've felt." "And that you tell everybody that they were responsible." "Let her go!" "Red or yellow?" "How does it feel to be helpless?" "Where is Michelle?" "Mission accomplished." "Can I go?" "Yes, I can go." "Red or yellow, Raven?" "Yellow." "Get out of here." "Shit!" "Raven!" "You weren't listening, De Cock." "Not really." "De Cock, she's not here." "bye Freek"
