Boesmansgat - 270 meters Kalahari Desert - South Africa
Careful, Tom, Hold on,
Kiki, do you have the dive schedules?
- Given, - Yes, I have it,
- You have it ? - Be careful, Dad,
- Do you have it? - Yes I have it,
We accelerate,
They want to dive in 30 minutes,
Okay, last briefing,
Dad, I was thinking last night,
Better to stay only 5 minutes at minus 100,
- What ? Not 10? - No, Tom, 5,
So,,, 15 minutes for the descent,
5 minutes minus 100,
And 3 and a half hours to go back up, stages included,
Tom, you stop at each landing, okay?
Yes,
OK, final checks?
Thank you again, my dear,
- You only turn 60 once, - I know,
Dad ? Mom ?
- What happened ? - They came up too fast,
The parents, Where are the parents?
- They're still underwater, - Call the chopper,
Did you do the bearings? The bearings?
- Hi, Tom, - Hello,
What is happening ?
Nothing, It's Mom's birthday,
Yes,
It's been a year, so I thought it would be
maybe time to clear out dad's office,
Yes, but I haven't eaten yet,
OK, Come when you're ready,
I have to go shopping,
- Tom, we have all weekend, - Yes,
In the afternoon maybe?
I can't help but think that if I hadn't freaked out,,,
It's good, I will do it alone,
- Schelfthaut? - Lieutenant Schelfthaut?
Code 608 at the canal in Molenbeek,
Report to the barracks as soon as possible,
I'm on vacation, And the guard team?
On a mission for the prosecution, Sorry,
OK, I'm coming,
I have been coming for four weeks,
I am addicted to cocaine,
Thank you, Maryke,
- Tamara? - I'm addicted to crack,
It started when I was 16,
With a seal, You know the song,
I sweat, I get mad at everyone,
Jonah?
Is that your name?
Um yes,
So my name is Jonas,
I am addicted to heroin,
At 12, I was abused
by one of my teachers,
I started smoking
when it wasn't enough for me, I stung myself, etc,
My parents realized this and kicked me out,
Shortly after, my girlfriend died,
I really want this to stop,
And me, stop talking bullshit,
Last week your parents were dead
and your girlfriend kicked you out,
Do you remember any more?
If you're not honest with yourself,
you don't belong here, Jonas,
You are now on his right, Chief,
- Come back a bit to the center, - Okay,
You should be over now,
If the witness is reliable,
I haven't found anything yet,
I'm on the wall again,
Are there other divers in the water?
Negative,
- Why? - For nothing,
Mom ?
Mom,
Kiki?
Kiki, are you okay?
It's nothing, Stan,
The torch slipped out of my hands,
Fucking dirt,
Kiki?
Do you have anything?
Yes, give, Come,
- Oh, Nick, - Good morning,
- Tell me, Borsu, - So the diver has,,,
Nick Cafmeyer, Federal Police,
Christine Schelfthaut,
- Did you come up with that hand? - Yes,
- Didn't see anything suspicious? - You can't see anything underwater,
But you found it quickly,
It was a good tip,
A grandfather and his granddaughter saw a hand floating,
Hands do not float,
They can't have seen her
until she fell into the water,
Five seconds later, we no longer see her,
Weird, there was no one else,
It rained a lot yesterday?
Yes,
You have to check the exhaust vent,
You come ?
With the rain, the hand may have passed through here,
Stan?
Yes go ahead,
Impressive,
It seems to surprise you,
No, it's the opposite, It is,,,
Can we,,,
We check the manholes that lead into the canal,
Ask the Water Department to bring a camera,
Do you think we can find other songs?
There is a third manhole,
On the other side of the street,
Do you have some change?
Currency ?
Do you have something for me?
Do you have a bit for me? Whore,
You don't even have any money,
You have something ?
Friday, I get my allowance,
- Hi, - Hi,
When I see you, I see your mother,
OK here we go,
Hi,
Do you still sleep so badly?
Yes,,,
- Didn't you get fired? - No,
I started a new business,
Do you want to stay employed for a while?
There is real demand in the market,
At least you go to your shrink?
And you take your treatment?
To pass up such an opportunity would be madness,
Guys import Czech chandeliers,
You can't find any in the antique shops here, That,,,
It will sell like hotcakes,
They want us to be partners,
Partners? Like that ?
No, I ate with them, we had meetings,
In what legal form? Shareholder?
Yes, shareholder,
That's why I need your car,
My car ?
I cannot arrive by scooter,
Kiki, it's all about this meeting,
- Good morning, - Start, I'm coming,
CIVIL PROTECTION
I saw you earlier near the cars,
Could I speak to Commissioner Cafmeyer?
I'll see if he's still there,
It's good, Commissioner?
Commissioner?
- Good morning, - I may have something,
An alibi for severed hands,
Do you know the director of the
company where the hands were found?
- I can check it, - From Aldekerke,
Their family fortune was amassed in the Congo,
In rubber plantations,
It might be interesting to see
if these hands have a link with the exploitation
of the Congolese people during the colonial era,
Here's an interesting idea,
My grandfather was a district employee in Bukavu
and my father was born there,
They knew the D'Aldekerkes,
A few weeks ago, the D'Aldekerke's
car was sprinkled with blood,
There are photos,
Are you writing this to me by email? We are expected in Molenbeek,
- The hands have been identified, - Who is this ?
A junkie, A drug story,
OK, I leave you to work, Sorry,
- Mom, - Jonah,
I want to pick up,
For real,
But you know what we said,
I found a private clinic,
They want a cash advance,
I,,,
Do you know what I have to do?
What they make me do to earn money?
These guys,,,
I don't want this anymore, Mom,
- I had seen well in my retro, - He found a clinic,
No, We're not going back on that,
It's a private clinic,
Need a cash advance,
In liquid ? Serious ?
Stop it, Inez, Everything we gave him
he injected it into his veins,
- I know, - Plus everything he stole from us,
It's different,
It is a gentle progressive detox therapy,
Frankly, If the strong method does not work,
what good is the soft method?
No, Inez, He has his
benefits and not a penny more,
It's for his own good,
Can't you afford it?
Be careful, I filled it up,
You're an angel, THANKS,
There is news, In Boesmansgat,
A diving record, Two Australians,
They want to hit rock bottom,
Come on, thank you,
We will reach the bottom of the Boesmansgat,
Hi, I'm Ben and this is Andy,
In about 48 hours we will crash
this Australian flag 270 meters at the bottom of the Boesmansgat,
We'll keep you posted,
Sign up for notifications,
Thank you,
fist-fucking is OK too,
but I'm the one doing it, All right ?
We've been training for over a year now,
We really hope to get to the bottom,
Few divers have reached depths of 270 meters,
There have been several accidents,
Last year, it was two Belgian divers,
We'll have to be well prepared,
But it will still be very difficult,
It will take perfect conditions,
And a bit of luck too,
What's the matter ?
- The cops,,, - What?
The cops,,,
Shit, what did you drink?
It's all messed up, Kiki,
Everything screwed up, Completely,
Make them go,
I won't ask you anything more,
Keep quiet,
Hi, Kenny,
We've been chasing you for 5 kilometres,
Why did you continue?
Didn't you see the beacon?
- Have you been drinking? - No, For what ?
A sober person doesn't ride that way,
You almost killed yourself, And us with,
Yeah, I,,, couldn't stop,
My bladder was about to explode,
I have to do this by the rules,
I reported your license plate to Central,
If you want to breathe, for the form,
If it's negative, I transmit to the Central
and I will have finished my job,
So,
Zero point zero,
You don't seem to believe it,
Goodbye, Christina,
This is the last time I lie for you,
Shit, Tom,
Frankly, Tom, Disguting pig,
- Did you find anything? - Nothing,
Are you Mrs, D'Aldekerke?
Good day Mrs, I am Christine Schelfthaut,
I found the hands,
How are you ?
Are you afraid of something?
Your car was splattered with blood, now hands,
Have you received any threats?
How are you ? What happened ?
She asks questions and,,,
- Who sent you? - Person,
Madame felt bad, so,,,
And you are ?
Civil protection, Lieutenant Schelfthaut,
Schelfthaut?
From the family of Brecht Schelfthaut?
Yes, I am his daughter,
My condolences,
We were shocked to learn
what happened to your parents,
Your father often talked about you,
Yes, He was a visionary,
We found two severed
hands outside your door,
Given your connection with the Congo,,,
- And yours, - Yes,
I made the connection,
The rapprochement?
It's always the abject stories that cause a stir,
Never the schools, the hospitals, the infrastructure,
all the good things we did in the colony,
And we still do,
Considering your father's great
charity, I expected more of you,
Schelfthaut is still a big name
in Congo,
Have you received any threats?
Why would I receive it?
Our company is one of the few that
still invests in Congo and Rwanda,
Our investments offer work and a salary
to many families,
That's only part of the story,
We both know each other,
If you're threatened, I can put you,,,
There is no reason, My wife
and I thank you for your concern,
Your wife is scared,
I think it's related to what we found,
It's related to his blood pressure,
It is rather low,
- Yes ? - Commissioner Cafmeyer is here?
Drop,
Your mermaid is here,
I'm going to the debriefing,
Pardon,
Wesley Raemaeckers,
He got busted with heroin,
was reported missing by his mother,
but very little is known of him,
It is unknown if he is still alive,
He was when they cut off his hands?
We're looking, but we don't have any leads,
No address, no enemies, nothing,
Raemaeckers is his mother's name,
His father is unknown,
I think I did something stupid,
I talked about the hands to the D'Aldekerkes,
When ?
We dove there this afternoon and they were coming home,
You didn't come in, I hope?
Shit,
What makes you think he's involved?
The rubber,
He was born in 1959,
He was still a baby
when your grandparents fled with him,
Her parents were killed in the Troubles of 1960, so,,,
he must have been 8 months old,
His father was a gardener at my grandparents
and his cook mother,
He grew up like a brother to my father,
You go ?
Yes, Mobility and business go hand in hand,
A colleague told me that your wife was scared,
My wife is of a sensitive nature,
A moment,
Has anyone threatened you or your family?
No,
It wouldn't work anyway,
It's your car ?
I doubt,
My driver is very focused on cleanliness,
I had the photo analyzed, It's your car,
But you didn't complain,
It's probably vandalism,
Young people with too much money and time,
Was the hands also vandalism? Or,,,
Does it matter who they belong to?
The sewers are in the public domain,
What you find there is none of my business,
Fortunately,
Do you know this man?
I don't have that honor, no,
Wesley Raemaeckers,
Does this name speak to you?
No,
Yet I have a good memory of names,
commissioner Cafmeyer,
Cafemeyer,
Caf-Meyer, Meaning: Café Meyer
It's not common, as a name,
I looked a bit into your companies,
No need to dig,
We facilitate investments between parties,
An investigation is underway for the money laundering
of a fortune offered to Congolese leaders,
This type of survey is common
when we are active in this region,
It's geopolitics,
Geopolitics,,,
Sorry to bother you with,,,
local losers
like Wesley Raemaeckers,
Borsu, I have a job for you,
I checked to see if D'Aldekerke had any enemies,
The Congolese track,
A request to the court for reparation in the Congo
for looting committed by the Belgian State
and about twenty companies and families,
Ruled inadmissible,
D'Aldekerke is in the list,
Don't tell me your siren is right,
Who made this request?
The JPPC,
it is the acronym for Justice Pour le Peuple Congolais,
- Who are they ? - Good question,
It's a job for you,
You know people at State Security, don't you?
Call them,
The JPPC is a small protest movement
especially active in the
universities and the Matonge district,
They raised funds
for education projects in the Congo,
The JPPC filed a complaint
at the International Court in The Hague,
Their lawyer was Me Schelfthaut,
- Of the family ? - His father,
He and his wife died a year ago,
They wanted recognition of the 10
million dead in the Belgian Congo,
And compensation for colonial plunder,
The complaint was declared inadmissible,
Worse, they were condemned for the riots that ensued,
Incitement to violence,
They were on State Security's radar,
Here, Ombayi Mualuke,
One of the leaders,
I saw it
at the presentation of Cézaire Nduka's book,
Are they still active?
I have a list of companies and families
which they attacked, and of which, according to them,
fortune is based on rubber money
and mining slaves in the Congo,
D'Aldekerke in the lead,
Let's review the list,
Federal Police, Inspector Borsu,
Can I speak to Mr, Deloitre?
I'm sorry, my husband is not here,
I don't know about his business,
so we can't talk to you today,
OK,
I will come back later, THANKS,
Yes,
A little bit closer,
He has no more hands,
I think we finally found him,
The lab is coming, take it there,
- Good morning, - Good morning,
- SO ? - Probably Wesley Raemaeckers,
Stan will explain,
After the rejection of their request, riots took place,
but after that, the JPPC was dissolved,
Two members returned to Congo
and were involved in protests
against cobalt mines in Kinshasa,
They disappeared without a trace,
five of them,
including the leader Ombayi, remained active here,
They appear in demonstrations
against slavery in the cobalt mines,
- So it's the hard core, - Yes,
Let's go ask them,
Ombayi is in Brussels, I saw it,
Put people on the spot,
This is Cezaire Nduka,
Mom ?
I can not choose,
Come on,
How are you, I just need rest,
I ate something I shouldn't have,
You didn't leave with the ambulance?
What happened here?
Why are you interrogating Cezaire like a criminal?
I'll explain, I'll take you home,
It'll be OK ?
Stop, stop,
It's not a good idea,
Let go,
Kiki, if you want to talk about it,,,
Not necessarily
now or with me,,,
Hello, it's 8 a,m, The news,
Excavations are taking place in the forest of Weert-Saint-Georges,
We are looking for a 68 year old woman
admitted to a nearby psychiatric institute,
She wears a bathrobe and,,,
What are you doing here ? The door was locked,
She was open,
You said your father supported the JPPC,
I did not say that,
I must have read it somewhere then,
He was their lawyer, He coordinated their fundraising,
He quit due to disagreements,
This woman was at Cézaire's conference,
- You know her, - Ombayi Mualuke, yes,
It was like a member of the family,
Papa and Cézaire helped him raise funds,
- For the JPPC? - Yes,
Did your dad keep track of those funds?
- Accounting? - What are you here for?
You put me on the trail of the Congo,
And I bitterly regret it,
Help me,
Damn, Tom,
Shit,
What is this mess ?
It'll burn if I,,,
Speak,
I spent the evening waiting for the Czechs
and their stupid chandeliers,
They didn't show up,
I called them, They didn't answer,
I fell back on the Gin and,,,
I whined all the way, like a kid,
And suddenly, this bitch appeared on the road from behind a tree,
I couldn't stop,
And you thought, "I'm throwing
it in the trunk, problem solved,"
- You're going to the police, - No,
Tom, damn it,
We're gonna put the body back where it was,
No,
- Then, you will denounce yourself, - No,
You would have done better to let me drown,
Nick? The leader of the JPPC has been reported,
Ombayi Mualuke, Center of Brussels,
MISSING PERSON: GREET LAROMS
You have to stick to the truth as much as possible,
You've been depressed for a year, Your doctors can attest to that,
You went for a ride in my car to decompress,
You felt a shock and thought it was a hole in the ground,
There are plenty,
You came home, and it was by hearing the news
that you asked yourself questions,
To the left or to the right ?
-Tom? - I don't know,
- Look at, - I do not know anymore,
OK, let's turn around,
We start from scratch,
We will start again as much as necessary, Until we find,
Here at 34,
We have a warrant from the prosecutor,
We just missed it,
Shit,
Nick,
Oh no, shit,
They are detonators,
Chemical products,
They have one of the bags,
It smells like solvent, Very powerful,
And the detonator, I don't know if you can see it in the photo,
it is connected to a laptop,
Get out there and don't touch anything, I'm sending a bomb squad,
Wait, wait, Yes,
You're sure ?
Come,
Help me, will you?
Ready to shoot,
They are bags of red paint,
A spray paint can,
The way is clear,
Don't let me down, Kiki,
Of course not, Tom,
I will not let you,
I am with you,
I'll accompany you to the police station,
Don't put stuff in your head,
You did this to protect us all,
Ombayi is still in critical condition?
She's going to have surgery? OK let me know,
You will be able to talk to someone,
I'm here for a deposition, Can you help me ?
- Go ahead, I'm coming, OK ? - Nick?
What happened ?
We shot Ombayi,
What ?
- She's not,,, - I don't know,
Take him to Room 2,
But how,,, should I,,,
No, you shouldn't,
I'm already too involved in your story,
Someone was shot for a can of paint,
Hi, You're not talking to Tom Schelfthaut,
but let go after the beep,
Frankly, Dirty Bastard,
I'm going to hang you by the balls, you fucking deflated,
It wasn't them, the severed hands,
I shot the wrong person,
How do you explain that to his family?
We're going to start all over again,
Raemaeckers was a junkie, Let's get back to the drug trail,
Are you asking for his bank details?
Racism at the Brussels Police
"Who protests, gets shot down,"
Hi, It's the big day,
In a few hours we will be diving,
Thank you for your support and fingers crossed,
We will record and broadcast the entire dive,
so stay on the line,
Ombayi is in the operating room, I'll let you know,
Cézaire accuses us of being racist,
He mounts the Black Lives Matter movement against us,
Can you talk to him and tell him that was a misjudgment?
He calls for rebellion,
He filed a complaint
for attempted racially motivated murder,
I can't see it now, Nick,
You put us on the trail of the Congo so take your responsibilities,
Tom? I'll pick you up in an hour,
Try to be ready,
Tempers flared,
Young people threw stones at the police
who deployed the water cannon,
The incidents took place in the Matonge district and the surrounding area,
which are home to a large black community,
How's it going ?
I come back from the hospital, They won't let me in,
- Any news from Ombayi? - She's stable,
They will keep us posted,
Nick, I have the bank details,
Take,
Look at,
Wesley Raemaeckers received the same sum every year on the same
date, from a letterbox company linked via an elaborate arrangement
to a Luxembourg subsidiary, Corwinvest,
I know this name,
Who are the shareholders?
From Aldekerke,
Tom?
Shit, Tom, Where are you ?
I do not know what to think anymore,
- Everything is so confusing, - Nothing is confusing,
I'll smash your head against the wall,
Your car is dented,
The body was in your trunk, They'll think it's you,
But you tell them it's you,
No one will believe me, Kiki,
With the psychiatrist's diagnosis, the trauma,
the pills I take, those lies I told,,,
No one will believe me,
You told the cops you drove that night,
You even took a breathalyzer,
Hold on,,,
There is no evidence that I went out that night,
The meeting with the Czechs did not take place,,,
It's your word,,,
against mine,
And against that of this cop,
And against the tracks in your trunk,
You will have to imagine something else,
You know the best hiding places in the water,
We're gonna do this together, Kiki,
You and me,
We've located D'Aldekerke's cell phone,
in the district of Joli-Bois in Uccle,
I went there, It's at the Deloitres,
Good evening, Federal Police,
I can enter ?
Good evening,
The world is small,
Inez Deloitre, Alphonse Lelièvre and me
sit on boards of directors,
From a mining consortium
operator of cobalt mines in the Congo,
We have economic activities, it is not prohibited,
We have evidence that the threats are
related to your illegitimate son, Wesley,
Wesley Raemaeckers,
Yes,,,
These are,,,
Confidential company data,
Do you think Jonas is alive?
It is,,,
Jonas Deloitre, 23 years, Junkie,
He left his parents when they cut him off,
- Has his body been found? - No,
The families received a threatening letter
with bitcoin payment instructions,
None obeyed, They had agreed,
After that, one member of each family was abducted,
The Lelièvre son had his hand cut off
as a sign of warning,
The father paid and the kid was released,
With the other two, they went harder,
Both hands were severed and sent with video,
D'Aldekerke nevertheless refused to pay for his illegitimate son,
Why didn't they speak sooner?
For fear that their past will catch up with them?
Or their present?
Hi, guys, We are dry again,
Thank you for following us,
We have good news and bad news,
The good news is that we broke the record,
The bad news,
we found two divers,
I think it's the Belgian couple,
May they rest in peace,
That's the woman,
And that's the man,
Andy noticed a disturbing detail,
We reported it to the police
who will try to pull them up,
Cafemeyer?
We'll have to wait here,
I know the places, I can guide you,
- That's the procedure, - Fuck the procedure,
If he manages to get away,,,
This time, we're doing it by the book,
RAS,
Cézaire Nduka's Jeep is not there,
Everything seems normal, No signs of rushing off,
He is not at work,
Press,
- Press it, - He is down there,
Shit,
Do you have everything?
It's a good place to hide it,
They will never find her,
We've already searched for a missing person here,
What ? What are you thinking about ?
That I chose you,
I could have gone looking for Mom, but,,,
I chose you,
I'm going to get lead belts,
Otherwise, it will go up,
Thank you, sis,
I'm nobody's sis anymore, Tom,
Nor anyone's daughter,
Police,
- Kiki! - Police, Get out of the water,
- Get out of the water, - Get out, come on,
Last warning,
Hands on the head,
Get out of the water,
On your knees,
Legs crossed,
Kiki!
DEADLY DIVE
In memory of Clare Dunkel (Mo Hayder)
Based on the novel "Ritual" by Mo Hayder
Reissue: Y7M3U47
