Het Tweede Gelaat Page #2

---

- Yeah, you too.

- Well.

- Sorry. Freddy, Anton Mulder.

- Hi. Hello, Freddy.

- Mulder.

- Great to have you on board.

- Great, great, great.

Mulder has set up

a joint investigation team at Europol.

Great, great, great. Cassiers,

can you take these cases to the hotel?

- Which one?

- No, to my place.

Vincke thought it'd be nice

it I stayed with him.

Oh, cosy.

Mulder uses lists of fuzzy logic questions

to draw up his perpetrator profile

and ViCLAS, the Canadian upgrade of

ViCAP, which the FBI uses.

I know ViCLAS. Eighty per cent of

the questions are about the crime scene.

- Shame we don't have a crime scene.

- Sorry, we have to leave now

for the Public Prosecutor's briefing.

No, Freddy, three of us going is silly,

so I suggest you input the autopsy and

search reports into ViCLAS. Thanks.

- OK, see you later.

- Yeah. Bye.

Bye.

Go on, Cassiers. You heard him.

Tap tap tap tap tap. Come on.

- I don't understand. Am I in danger?

- No, no, no, no.

Look, I'm here for my own peace of mind,

I wanted to be sure you weren't taken

by the man we're looking for.

What if I were?

If you were then... then you are

an important witness.

- A witness with a black hole in her memory.

- Anything you can remember may help us.

Only bits and pieces.

A party, some people.

A club.

Gin and tonic.

Gin without tonic.

OK.

What a stupid question! Doesn't that chick

know whether she was here or not?

I'm asking you, pal.

- Are there cameras here?

- Cameras...

We've got eyes, we have.

And?

- What, and?

- Was she here, yes or no?

May have been. I wouldn't know.

- Right, thanks.

- You're welcome.

- Yes, honey?

- Abi. It's me.

Can you check whether there are

any CCTV cameras near the Roxy?

Anything for you.

Oh, a call has come in from Doel.

- Doel?

- Yes, Doel.

It was the night before

and nothing was stolen,

just a dog's blanket and a hi-viz vest,

and I immediately thought of you.

Sorry, I must have been cold, I suppose.

We found her there so if she came past

here she must've come from Doel village.

Yeah, yeah.

OK. Thanks.

I... I can remember hands on my face.

With cold water and...

someone fiddling with my hair.

- Yeah, yeah.

- There was something over my eyes.

Tape? Blindfold?

- Did he say anything maybe?

- I don't remember a voice but...

I think I was lying there a long time.

- Anything else you remember?

- Yes.

A smell.

Grain.

The smell of grain.

Is it here?

I think so.

And? What do you think?

Were you here?

- Or does anything seem familiar?

- Yes, the smell.

And that dust, it catches my breath.

There isn't any plastic.

I have a feeling I was lying on plastic.

A sheet of plastic is easily removed.

Goddammit.

Come here.

Come here.

Keep your head still. Relax.

Got one.

I was just starting to like you,

for a cop.

I'm going to have

the dye on your hair analysed.

A little souvenir.

Abi, babe, can you take this...

- Hold on. What?

- To the lab for me. Urgently.

No, no. Go ahead.

How come?

It depends. I'll call them in a minute.

OK, guys, your attention a minute.

There have been some new developments.

Europol has linked our bodies to

three older cases in the Cologne area.

The bodies were found on Wahner Heide

between March 2011 and April 2013.

So our new priority,

we are looking for men

who moved here from April 2013 from the

Cologne area, permanently or temporarily.

- So get on with it.

- Yeah, or heads will roll.

Haha.

It's not possible to say for sure

if sexual violence was used.

But I've found traces of glue

on the most recent one.

- On the skin. Arms, legs.

- Taped together.

And the cause of death?

They... just...

stopped living.

I can't say.

Nor can my colleagues from Ghent.

There are no wounds on the body,

no traces of poison.

- The organs suddenly stopped.

- Shot in the head?

Hit, the jugular vein cut, stabbed from

behind with something thin and pointed.

Without the head itself I can't say.

- How was the head...

- Removed?

The head was removed mechanically,

with an angle grinder.

Certainly something with a fine cutting

action, some kind of saw is possible too.

Done very cleanly, I must say.

- Why's Harm Schlndorfer now on the B list?

- Intensive chemo and has relapsed.

OK.

Right. People who moved here

from the Cologne area.

Steve Serluppens, musician.

Ronald Hoybergs, game developer.

Conrad Breitner, a NATO soldier.

Bas Van der Gracht, a stockbroker.

And Ezra Cody,

he works at the American embassy.

Haven't received everything yet but, apart

from traffic fines, no criminal records.

- Not unusual for serial killers.

- Here.

Oh, thank you. Thanks.

Excuse me?

I want to show the photos to Rina. Maybe

she'll recognize someone from the club.

Rina? Is that the...

The wasted writer we picked up at Doel.

Vice is dealing with the case.

I know, but I just want to show her

the photos. So I can put my mind at rest.

Is waving those photos around before those

people have been screened a good idea?

- Come on.

- No, we're doing it Mulder's way now.

- Come on.

- Let's see what's here first.

Yes.

At the roundabout, turn right.

Straight ahead.

When by? By yesterday, Kris.

- It said turn right.

- Straight ahead, straight ahead.

Kris, I want the hair analysis first.

Top priority. Understand?

Make a U-turn if possible.

Here, onto that driveway.

- What is this place?

- What do you think?

A car park.

Behind Vincke's back.

I don't feel good about this.

If you don't feel good, ask for a pill.

I'm sure they'll have one for you here.

- Hi.

- Gentlemen. Come into my office.

This is my colleague Cassiers.

Sorry to disturb you at work

but I wanted to show you these

as soon as possible. Here.

That's them.

Take your time.

Do you recognise him?

No, just a vague feeling of familiarity.

But I often get that feeling.

I felt it very strongly with you too.

Yet I know for sure

I'd never seen you before.

I would've remembered that.

So... you had a vague feeling

about this one?

It's gone now and I don't want

to accuse anyone falsely so...

But something may come back later.

May I keep them?

No, we'd rather you didn't.

They're from a current case.

Those are copies I made specially for you.

Here, keep them.

I have to report that, Freddy.

Cassiers, don't forget you owe me, pal.

- Come on.

- I've just got one thing to say.

Dirty Dave. Dirty Dave.

- I've paid you back a hundred times.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is now 101.

My silence is priceless, my friend.

Friday night?

My husband looked after Zachary.

I went to a staff party.

Zachary, do we do that? No, we don't,

not on people's leg. Sorry.

Oh, someone seems to have

filled her pamper.

- A normal man.

- Yes. A very normal man, eh?

So keep him under surveillance.

- Follow me...

- Sure.

Mr Hoybergs?

These people are from the police.

We'll continue our meeting later.

- Hoybergs, CEO of Fly Swat Games.

- Verstuyft, pleased to meet you.

- How can I help you?
