Fallet G Page #4

---

Hi there. Oh, did startle you?

- Have you forgotten?

- No...

Yes, age will do it to you.

No, it's a characteristic of yours.

Were you going anywhere?

Is it my fault

that Erich can't sign this himself?

Absolutely not. It's not your fault.

But why didn't realise

that he was involved with those jerks,

that he was in danger?

It's so strange...

The pain is intolerable...

But somehow you manage anyway.

Hello, Marlene. I'm Marthe. I'm in

charge of the paternity hearing.

We're running a bit late...

That's all right.

When was the last time

you spoke to him?

He called a week ago,

wanting to borrow money.

- Did he mention Jaan G. Hennan?

- Yes.

He was incoherent. told him

to call back when he was sober.

He never did.

- Does this happen often?

- No, absolutely not.

He calls several times a week

and sees a lot of my son.

Think hard, didn't

he say anything else at all?

What did he say...?

"Now know how he did it."

- What?

- "Now know how he did it."

- And he was going to tell you.

- Any more details?

No...

I'd really like to talk to him.

Well, hello. Look who's here.

Listen, could you help me out?

I'd like to have a list

of incoming calls to this number

on the 18th, around 6 pm to midnight.

- What's this about?

- A friend is concerned about her dad.

And there's one more thing...

- What do you make of this?

- "14.42"?

- It's hardly a biblical reference.

- You never know.

- A departure time.

- Or an arrival.

- Train, bus, airline...?

- Flights depart on even fives.

At least, that's what they try to do

Could you help me out?

Was thinking on a nationwide scale.

Will do.

Yesterday had some contractions

and figured it was time...

But they went away.

How do you know when it's for real?

Well, you just do.

Wonder

if he's going to look like Erich.

- Do you have his baby pictures?

- No, don't.

- Where are you?

- I'm coming...

I've got it.

- Marlene's leaving.

- Oh...

Do you have

any baby pictures of Erich?

I'll get some for her.

Here you go...

We'll make copies

of the ones you like.

- Would you like me to call a cab?

- No, thank you.

A walk would do me good.

I'd like to ask you something...

- It feels silly...

- Fire away!

was wondering if could stay here

for a while after the baby is born.

- Just for a while.

- Is there something wrong?

just don't want to be alone.

Would be

very happy to have you here

You're part of the family.

Thank you.

You're so sweet.

Bye! - Bye.

Marlene thinks I'm sweet.

Her frame of reference is different.

She doesn't have my expectations,

or the same needs...

It's an old case: Case G.

Jaan G. Hennan... and his wife.

Someone pushed her off a high dive.

She was found at the bottom of

an empty pool. Her skull was crushed.

Remember reading about that case.

Did he do it?

Think so.

We had a lot of circumstantial

evidence, but not much hard stuff.

So the case was dismissed.

Why are you

involved with the case now?

Hennan tried to get at me

by using Erich.

One of his associates got Erich

to come up to a hotel room.

Drugs...

That was what put him in prison,

so have a hard time letting it go.

And now some new information

has come to light.

Figured was going to explore it.

If find anything,

I'll hand it over to the police.

Right...

- Of course.

- Without a doubt.

Precisely.

"Arrivals, 2:
42 pm"...

There are quite a few.

Armstadt, Karpatz...

- ...Kaalbringen.

- ran a check on Belle Vargas.

It seems her maiden name

was Veerlangen.

Is our Veerlangen involved?

Is this about "Case G"?

Yes...

Good. Thanks. - Two calls to

Vargas, one from someone in Borsten...

Hang on.

Borsten... No.

One from a pay phone

on the outskirts of Kaalbringen.

- Well, well...

- Here's the number.

What do you know? guess a few

of those Grey cells are still alive.

You didn't answer me:

Does this concern Jaan G. Hennan?

I'll call you when know more.

Take the train, we're expecting

snow this afternoon.

Hello.

May ask you a question?

- Are you a cop?

- No, I'm trying to help a friend.

Maarten Veerlangen. His daughter

thought he might be here.

- Do you recognise him?

- Yes, he owes me money.

- haven't seen him for two weeks.

- He'll be back.

- Where did he stay?

- In the caravan that burned down.

- Burned down? When was that?

- A few days after he left.

see...

Did you report it to the police?

Do you know what started the fire?

We don't ask a lot of questions here.

Things happen.

All right if take a look?

- Did you ever talk to him?

- He treated me to a drink once.

- Why do you think he'll be back?

- He seemed the type.

- What type?

- The decent type.

He left this envelope.

It's in Geraldine's office.

See.

Strange... Writing a letter

to yourself like that, isn't it?

Thank you.

We'll search his ?at and I'll send

someone to talk to his daughter.

- That's all we can do right now.

- don't think you'll find anything.

But you can try to locate G

if he's still in the Kaalbringen area.

Wonder what kind

of evidence Veerlangen found...

How did he figure out how it was done?

What did he find out? Well...

You know how to pursue this.

I've done my bit.

- Still enjoy that shop of yours?

- My bookshop? Absolutely.

Give my best to Ulrike.

Call me,

if there are any developments.

- Why are you still up?

- What?

- Well...

- You can't get it out of your head.

Right... It's...

can't deny that it keeps popping up.

can't let go...

- Come to bed, I'm cold.

- In a minute.

Veerlangen is dead. A shot

to the head, he was taken out.

Veerlangen left an envelope

with some negatives in the safe.

Had copies made, and I've studied

them for hours on end.

It looks like a cafe.

There are eight people involved,

five men and three women.

None of them look like Hennan,

but it's hard to tell,

since they were shot at a distance.

- Are you certain G is involved?

- Are you joking?

Veerlangen was an alcoholic

with financial problems.

- Maybe he...

- All right.

So Veerlangen lied to his daughter

about a breakthrough in Case G?

He went to that camping place

in Kaalbringen to hide out

and evade debt collectors.

And he just happened

to get his brains blown out

by someone who didn't like his face.

Is that it?

- I'll keep these.

- Go ahead, have copies.

It can't do any harm

if mull over the case as well?

- What's next?

- Moreno and will go to Kaalbringen.

DeKlerkk wants us

to help him outwith the inquiry.

Well, aren't you lucky?

- Goodbye.

- Bye.

don't know

how many days this will take.

Marlene's baby is due any day now.

You know how it is with the first

baby, they never arrive on time.

- So I'll make it.

- We're talking about your grandchild.

Erich's son. And all you can think

about is that blasted case!

- Munster needs me.

- Marlene need you!

Munster will be fine on his own.

- That's not the issue here, is it?

- You're right.

- You want revenge.

- Maybe.

This was my case originally,

and want to close it.
