Call Blechtert for an arrest warrant.

For Marcel Luyten.

l repeat, Marcel Luyten.

How can you keep that up,

for heaven's sake?

l'm not dead, am l?

l'm not in hospital.

Where were you?

ls your mobile out of order?

Marcel Luyten is wanted for rape.

- What?

l told you to be careful.

He's got a criminal record.

Fred, how could l know?

And how do you know?

Contacts. Does he have anything

that could lead to you?

No, there's nothing in writing.

- He's got nothing on you?

No photos, videos, nothing?

Not as far as we know. No.

Who's that?

Luyten, please. Who is this woman?

A slave.

- l don't believe you. You tortured her.

She does this of her own free will.

- Sure. Dutroux, does that ring a bell?

Who paid you?

Who commissioned this?

Who did you lend her to?

We're gonna get you for this!

You're out on probation,

but if you don't cooperate...

We have to stop. Fred is right.

Yes, of course Fred is right.

l know that too.

But we're not doing anything wrong.

lt's too dangerous, Koen.

l want to stop.

For your sake, for your job's sake.

Fred has a point. lt's not worth it.

Magda, why... You're worth it.

You need it. l want to give it to you.

This is about you and who you are.

lnterrogation ended.

The suspect refuses to cooperate.

Frankie, take him away.

- Wait.

What if l give you her husband?

- Not interested. You had your chance.

Her husband is a judge.

l'll rent something.

A chalet, something remote.

We'll ask Dom P. to set everything up.

He can film the whole thing.

Then we'll have it on video.

One last, final time.

Thank you.

Well done, men.

lt's the weekend now, so we'll wait.

We'll wait until Monday morning.

When he leaves, you go in.

When he arrives at the courthouse...

l'm ready. We can get started.

Koen speaking.

- lt's Marcel. l'm calling from prison.

Marcel, l don't want you to call us.

- They're coming round! Hide your stuff!

We're not doing anything wrong.

But you are. Goodbye, Marcel.

Hey... What? l can do that too.

My beautiful wife.

- My handsome husband.

Love is not for old people.

- Who's old? Get out of my court.

Koen, wait. You forgot something.

What?

- A kiss.

Crazy woman.

Good morning.

We have a search warrant

from the Court of Appeal. Here.

Are you alone?

- No, my daughter is here too.

Go ahead, boys. Thanks.

What is this about?

- l have to ask you something.

ls that voluntary?

That's a private matter.

How did you come by that photo?

Will you answer my question?

- Of course it's voluntary.

l don't believe you.

What's going on?

- They're searching the house.

Come in, come in.

What's this all about, prosecutor?

- lt's been a long time.

We see so little of each other

now l'm at the Court of Appeal.

Coffee?

This isn't your office. This is...

- Blechtert's office. l know.

But the magistrate is out

and l wanted to talk to you in private.

The living room, first floor.

Mum, what's going on? ls Dad corrupt?

- Of course not, darling.

That's a sketch for school...

- We have a drawing here

that seems to depict a rape.

- That's not a rape.

We're confiscating the drawing.

- Magistrate, the daughter's diary.

That's my diary. Give me that.

That has nothing to do with Dad.

Mum?

- lt's possible evidence, miss.

l've heard about your escapades.

Escapades?

- The legal grapevine, Mr Allegaerts.

How long have you been into S&M?

Are you interested in it yourself?

lt's nothing to be ashamed of.

Lots of people are into S&M.

More than you think.

Are there more magistrates who...?

- Magistrates, professors, MPs.

Who?

- Van Preten. The MP. You know him.

He belongs to your party.

- Don't you think...

this... behaviour

can impact on our profession?

A private life is private. This has

nothing to do with my profession.

Bedroom. Particularly dirty.

The wallpaper is peeling off.

Guys, that's private.

- Three jars of Vaseline.

Two needles, five condoms.

We're concluding the search.

Where's the key?

- My husband's got it.

Frankie.

- Right.

You can't.

You aren't allowed to break open locks

without a locksmith.

l'm the wife of

a former examining judge.

l'm not into S&M myself,

but my wife has a threshold for pain

that is almost impossible to imagine.

Few people can understand that.

lndeed. l've seen photos...

Photos?

Where did you get that?

When did you start abusing your wife,

Mr Allegaerts?

Judge Allegaerts. What is this? An

interrogation? You can't just do that.

Ask my wife if you want to know.

- lt's not an interrogation.

lt's a chat between colleagues while

awaiting the investigating magistrate.

What does...

- Blechtert is searching your house now.

A search? On what grounds?

- Remain seated, Judge Allegaerts!

Mum, what's this all about?

- Hold on a minute, lris.

Shame, eh? You'll have to come back.

Out, lris!

- Needles, collar, videotapes.

We're confiscating the videotapes

and other paraphernalia.

Come on, Kevin.

You Catholics think

you can impose standards on others!

A judge must behave in a dignified way.

- A judge must be one of the people.

You've no idea what goes on!

Spending time in grimy dungeons

doesn't mean you do either.

Detachment and dignity are essential.

- They have nothing to do with this.

We have to dispense justice.

- We have to set an example!

People like you don't belong in a court.

- Not in your kind l don't!

Gentlemen, please.

Put that down there.

Magistrate.

- We've got some interesting material.

Mother and daughter are outside.

- What's lris got to do with this?

She doesn't know anything.

- She doesn't know anything?

l'll leave the interrogation to you.

- That's fine. Judge, sit down, please.

We've found some interesting items

at your home.

Videotapes and suchlike. Maybe we

can have a look together? Sit down.

Mrs De Herdt? The psychiatrist

wants to examine you for damage.

Damage?

- Physical, psychological.

Caused by my husband?

- Come with me.

Caused by Dad? What's happened?

Mum, what did Dad do?

Shouldn't you question my wife?

- Your wife?

Mrs De Herdt's name was mentioned

in a rape case.

She has nothing to do with this case.

She's a victim.

You think she's a victim.

l think it's my job to decide who is

the victim and who is the perpetrator.

Come in.

The De Herdt file.

Virgo intacta.

Humour in the courthouse...

We are terminating

the interrogation at 1530 hours.

l am charging Mr Koenraad Allegaerts

with assault and battery

and inciting prostitution.

lf you could sign here.

l always used to start by telling people

what they were accused of.

Thank you.

Send the daughter in.

- Leave her out of this, you bastard.

What's happened?

- lt's alright, honey.

Take it easy.

lt's alright.

lt's alright, princess.

You have officially been charged. You're

not allowed to talk to the victim.

She's my wife. l'm going home with her.

- Yes, but you can't talk to her here.

At home you can do as you please.

- l'm not so sure about that.
