Hello, I'm Katrin and this is Elen. Jelena.
We just arrived from Thailand, Do you know Amsterdam well? Huh?
Me? Yeah.
Oh, you know, a bit.
Great. Oh, cool.
Then you can help turn this dull night into a fun night, no?
Then you can help turn this Oh, we love fun nights.
Do you? What makes you think I'm Oh, we love fun nights.
Do you? What makes you think I'm qualified to give you a fun night?
Hmm. Intuition.
Yeah. (LAUGHS) So where would you wanna go?
Oh.
Home?
Oh? Interesting.
That's the right answer. I like a man who gets straight to the point.
Alone.
No. No.
Listen, I've gotta go. No, no, please.
That's so disappointing. The night is so young.
Hey, babe. Sorry I'm late.
Everything OK?
'Cause for a minute there I thought you might be chatting someone up.
Uh, no, he was just giving us directions.
Uh...goodbye.
You looked like you needed rescuing.
Don't we all?
Maybe I was playing hard to get.
Were you playing hard to get?
No. No, you're right, I'm... Maybe I needed some help.
Well, consider yourself helped. Well, thank you for helping.

PIET: What have we got? HENDRIK: Not exactly sure.
There's an injection mark on her right wrist.
Doesn't look like your typical junkie.
(CHUCKLES) You never can tell these days.
The cause of death is possible poisoning
The cause of death but I'll need toxicology to confirm.
What, killed somewhere else? I'd say so.
Lividity on the anterior aspect of the shoulders and torso
suggests that the body's been on her stomach for a while,
so I'll have to do a proper examination.
Yeah, most likely killed somewhere else, brought here.
When? Rigor mortis wearing off.
I'd say she'd been here two or three days.
And this.
Well, there's no attempt to hide her ID.
Name's Susie de Windt.
Solicitor at De Windt, Koemen and Berg.
And lots of missed calls. Someone was trying to get hold of her.
Let's find out who. HENDRIK: There's another thing.
Razor-sharp implement.
Surface wounds only.
Judging by the minimal blood loss, Surface wounds only.
Judging by the minimal blood loss, definitely post-mortem.
Not frenzied. I'd say it's a marker.

HENDRIK: Yeah, will do.
Victim has an 'X' carved into her, and the note mentions a double 'X'.
So we could be looking for a second body, right?
Yeah. It's a staged death.
Theatrical, cryptic notes left.
Maybe it's part of a bigger plan.
So what are we talking, then, a proper nutjob?
They usually are.

I'll be back in a minute. Sure.

LUCIENNE: We'll need to ask you some questions about your wife's cases.
Was she working on anything controversial,
any disgruntled clients, anyone with a grudge?
any disgruntled clients, Not that I know of.
And when did you last see her? Um, three days ago.
And when she didn't come home, didn't you think that was...odd?
Well, yeah, but I didn't think... I didn't think this.
Well, what did you think?
That she might've gone to visit Well, what did you think?
That she might've gone to visit friends, relatives.
That she might've gone to visit Anyone else?
Does your wife normally disappear off radar for three days?
No. And I was concerned, obviously.
But not enough to ring her.
Had you had a row? No.
I'm pretty sure I did ring her. LUCIENNE: No.
She had 37 missed calls, mainly work-related,
She had 37 missed calls, but not one of them was from you.
I've been snowed under. I just didn't get round to it.
I've been snowed under. Mm-hm.
Your wife's body, it was found at a wind farm outside of town.
Does that make any sense to you? No. Sorry.
How'd you get hurt?
(ROLAND INHALES DEEPLY)
Fell playing squash.
It's my escape.
(POURS DRINK)
Yeah, that's great.
PA confirmed Roland de Windt does play squash.
Also hinted that all maybe wasn't well in the marriage.
It's odd that he didn't ring his wife, right?
Especially if he killed her.
I mean, if he killed her, he would've rung her, wouldn't he?
To cover his tracks.
Where are we at on Susie de Windt's movements?
The morning she died,
she got a bus back to the city from Sporenburg at 7:06am.

Yeah. Yeah, alright.
But I'll have you know it's 'cause I'm...picky.
You know you're on a site where the women do the picking? Just saying.
PIET: What have we got? BRAD: Site's secured.
No reports of a second stiff or missing person.
You cracked the note yet? Well, within a whisker, yeah.
You cracked the note yet? That's a no, then.
Susie de Windt's current case load.
Now, the land is owned by the city, but was in the news recently.
Bunch of artist squatters - polder rebels -
Bunch of artist squatters - were due to be relocated there.
They were living on disused land in the city for years,
but lost their battle against eviction four days ago.
Were offered the land as an alternative but refused point blank.
That's a long way from the city. The land is contaminated.
And there's plans to extend industry all up round there.
The polder case is one of Susie de Windt's.
She's the lawyer who won it for the city against the squatters.
DAHLMAN: Hello.
Exonerated. (LAUGHS)
Yeah! (LAUGHS)
Well done, mate. That's our boy.
Not that we recognise you... Anything I need to know about?
Not that we recognise you... Nah. Usual.
That's vague, even by your own standards.
Is there anything I need to know about?
Is there anything JOB: Yeah.
DAHLMAN: No. BRAD: ..because we need you pronto.
You thought about getting another dog yet?
Trojan was the one and only for me.
I'm not the only one missing him, right?
Why don't you get yourself a dog, Piet?
Why don't you get yourself Nah. Too much like commitment.
(PHONE RINGS)
Where are we at on the polder squatters?
Artists community. Not just squatters.
It's actually a really interesting case.
LUCIENNE: We've got loads of information,
LUCIENNE: We've got loads thanks to Susie de Windt's files -
pictures, newspaper clippings.
They're winning the case, pictures, newspaper clippings.
They're winning the case, Susie de Windt gets them evicted.
So the great unwashed take revenge on the lawyer that shafted them.
So the great unwashed take revenge Hardly the great unwashed, Brad.
Amsterdam has a long noble tradition of squatting.
And I've got nothing against squatting,
especially if I'm caught short in the middle of the woods.
But not everyone wants a bunch of "artists"
But not everyone wants dirtying up their front doorstep.
You two, get down there. dirtying up their front doorstep.
You two, get down there. Names, agitators, usual stuff.
I'm guessing the polder lot had a lawyer, the one who lost.
I'm guessing the polder lot Cassie Davids.
OK, you and me, let's go and speak to her, see what she's got to say.
(CHILDREN LAUGH AND YELL)
Could you ever live here?
Could you?
Pfft.
Not a chance. (PUPPETEER VOCALISES)
Not a chance. (PEOPLE LAUGH)
I thought they lost the case.
We did. We're celebrating anyway.
We're proud of everything that we've achieved here.
And we've got a few days before we have to leave, so...
So, uh, what's the set-up here, then, anyway?
What, are you all artists and, uh...unemployed?
What, are you all artists We all do different things.
Right. Well, what about you? Me? A bit of everything.

You've got a lot of boxes here.
You going somewhere? Oh, sharp observational skills.
You going somewhere? Any more insights, Commissaris?
I reckon you're not teetotal
and maybe you didn't make it home last night.
and maybe you didn't make it home Did you go anywhere special?
I can't remember.
But I'm done here. I'm fed up with the system, the defeats.
But I'm done here. I'm fed up I got cynical. It's time to quit.
Susie de Windt's been murdered.
We think her death might be connected to the polder case.
Are you accusing my former clients of murder?
Are you targeting them because they have an alternative lifestyle?
Would I? I don't know. Would you?
Mrs De Windt was last seen the day that she won the case
and then she was found dead in the field
that the city want to send the community to.
So, we think it's reasonable to suspect a connection to them
So, we think it's reasonable or to you.
Wouldn't you say?
So, how long have you lived here?
My whole life. Hey.
What's the quote?
What? This? Mm-hm.
"The wound is the place where the light gets in."
"The wound is the place Rumi.
That's interesting.
So, uh, where are you going to move everyone?
So, uh, where are you going to Oh, something will come up.
Some of you must be pretty hacked off with the result, right?
Mm, yeah, we were sort of expecting it.
Mm, yeah, Why are you asking?
Susie de Windt, the lawyer who acted against you, has been killed.
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this.
We're gonna need a list of everyone who lives here.
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Yeah, I'll...
Great, thank you.
Susie was a decent-enough lawyer - a bit by-the-book for me,
but, believe me, I'm not the killing type.
but, believe me, Look, we should have won.
Now my clients have to suffer
because of a legal system more concerned with money than people.
So, what happened? The good guys lost.
It happens all the time.
What's gonna happen to the land that they're on now?
Uh, the city are leasing it to a consortium.
They're gonna build a tourist attraction.
(LAUGHS) Like we need another one.
(LAUGHS) (SMOKE ALARM BEEPS)
Oh, there you go! Yeah, could have told you that.
Oh! Are you mad?
(SIGHS)
I thought you said you weren't the killing type.
Oh, I have my moments.
That is definitely against building regulations.
You ever come across Susie de Windt's husband?
Yeah. He was in court most of the time.
Why? I don't know. You're the detective.
Check her out, find out about the consortium she mentioned.
Ethics.
Ethics!
I'm gonna need a bit more than that.
I was coming at it from I'm gonna need a bit more than that.
I was coming at it from the left side of my brain -
I was coming at it from analytically, logically -
whereas with puzzles, you have to engage
both sides of the brain simultaneously.
'Ethics' - it's a treatise on the metaphysical.
'Ethics' - it's a treatise It's a what?
It's a book, Brad. Baruch Spinoza.
Baruch? Also known as Benedictus or Ben.
Well, he doesn't look like your usual suspect, does he?
Well, he doesn't look like 1632 to 1677.
'Ethics' is his most famous book
and he's our best-known philosopher.
Well, I'm still none the wiser.
Literally a lover of wisdom, like you.
Literally a lover of wisdom, LUCIENNE: What did he believe in?
Solutions to pretty much everything based on...
..monistic metaphysics.
How did you get on with the polder rebels?
We got a list of everyone who lives there. We're just checking them out.
Oh, starting with that tattooed bloke. He loved a quote.
Oh, starting with that How was the defence lawyer?

..oak gall.
I mean, this is the stuff that Shakespeare would have written with,
that Leonardo da Vinci would have drawn with
when he wasn't filling his studio with inflated intestines.
Clever lad, that one. That Spinoza would have used?
Clever lad, that one. Presumably. Rare as hen's teeth.
Find out who makes it.
And one other thing, whoever wrote that note was 'sinistra' in Latin -
where the word 'sinister' comes from.
Yeah, and for those that don't speak Latin?
Yeah, and for those Left-handed. 1 in 10, apparently.
Right, let's get her on her front.
Go on, then. (GROANS)

No ID on her. I've checked her pockets.
At least there's no note on this one.
Not on her, Brad.
In her.

"When a man is prey to his emotions, Spinoza again.
LUCIENNE: Why this obsession Spinoza again.
LUCIENNE: Why this obsession with a dead philosopher?
"Tick tock. Who owns the city? The Fire Stealers."
You got any ideas? Don't look at me.
Why does a killer leave notes anyway? Does he wanna get caught?
"Tick tock." That worries me.
So, who's got the third 'X'?
Maybe it's me?
What if we're dealing with Maybe it's me?
What if we're dealing with a serial killer? They like puzzles.
They kill at least three or more.
I've got some notes on serial killers here.
76% of the time, they're male, but that's just stats.

Only through Susie. What was he doing at your office?

According to Cassie Davids, To support Susie.
But you said you didn't know the wind farm

So, there's one on the right - that's probably the thumb -
and three, four on the left - the fingers.
A left-hander, then.
Well, done with the left, sure,
but it doesn't necessarily mean left-handed, does it?
There's also similar areas of bruising
on the inside of her left bicep
as if she'd been grabbed or gripped tightly.

Could that predate and be unconnected to her death?
Could indeed.

we might have a serial killer on our hands?
we might have a serial killer When I knew for sure we do.
The papers seem to think so.
Since when do we take any notice of them?
Since when do we take Notes, Spinoza quotes.
Should we be worried? Is this some grand-plan master murderer?
Well, he's pretty up himself, I'll give him that.
'Narcissist', I believe is the term.
Are there going to be more victims?
Not if we allow the team to get on with their job.
Right, Piet? Right.
Right, Piet? Oh, one more thing.
Stop pissing off lawyers, will you?
De Windt rang me to complain.

Great about the hearing.
Your mum must be relieved. Great about the hearing.
Your mum must be relieved. Yeah, very.
Let's get out of here. Chief's breathing down our necks.
We've drawn a blank on why Susie de Windt was in Sporenburg.
My money's on her having an affair, but...
What's out there anyway?
Just a load of new housing, right? Yeah, just social and domestic.
A few shops, businesses, charities, that sort of thing.
What sort of charities? Um, children's and a women's refuge.
Victims of domestic abuse.
Hendrik said she had some historic bruising.
See if she contacted them. Sure.
Juliana Holt. Well, you were right about the car.
No family money, parents both dead,
and a brother who seemed to think SHE was struggling for money.
Did she lease it? Mm, bought outright.

Maybe she's got a rich partner.

With an 'O', it means 'shoreline'.
Right, so what have we got at a shoreline?
Nothing concrete. Just give me something.
OK, well, look. Ruud Lipman is from something of a property dynasty.
His plan for the polder land, the Amsterdam Eye,
is actually just a bigger version of something his dad did decades ago -
a Ferris wheel at the pier near The Hague.
We need more than that. Where are we at on who bought the ink?
In Amsterdam, one was a museum, one was a 9-year-old into calligraphy
and a third one died last Tuesday of a long-term illness.
OK, look further afield. Look outside the city,
OK, look further afield. Left-handed, who have we got?
Uh, De Windt isn't - Left-handed, who have we got?
Uh, De Windt isn't - checked with his PA.
Django Keet doesn't seem to be.
Tonie Alderlink isn't. Cassie Davids isn't either.
Rita Wijngarden definitely is a leftie, but her alibi checks out.
When Ruud Lipman went up in flames,
she was at a restaurant with friends and that is confirmed.
We need to figure out who the next target is and get to them first.
"GOD must die," but who is God?
JOB: God the creator.
God's gift. God the...the originator.
God's gift. The sine qua non. It's Latin.
Any more of that and it'll be you The sine qua non. It's Latin.
Any more of that and it'll be you who meets his maker.
Good, good - maker, builder.
