It's Bianca. Am I... Am I disturbing you?
Er, no.
- You're the ex-policeman, aren't you? - Mmm-hmm.
I need your help.
A colleague of mine disappeared two days ago.
And, er, that's not like her.
So I'm worried something might have happened to her.
A work colleague, yeah?
Yes. Andreea Popescu.
We work the streets together.
Maybe you'd like to speak in Luxembourgish?
- No, it's fine. - Or whatever.
I guess, er, Andreea could've gone back home. Her real home.
Yeah, but all her things are still here.
What has your boss said?
We have no boss. Nobody.
Can you help me?
[Capitani sighs]
Send me some photos of Andreea.
And her address.
I'll send you my fee.
Yeah, okay. Thank you.
- I'll get back to you. - Yeah.

Okay, Miss.

Yeah. That's the parking we go with the clients.

[doorbell buzzes]
Bonjour. I'm Bianca. I didn't mean to disturb you but...
Yeah, yeah, all right. How do you know where I live?
[scoffs] It's obvious.
You're new around here and a cop as well.
Ex-cop.
It doesn't matter. Everyone knows everyone around here.
So may I come in, if you don't mind?
[Capitani sighs]
[door closes]
At the cabaret, everyone's really worried. Have you got any news?
Yeah.
Er... You've managed to trace her?
Is this Andreea?
[breath shudders]
Do you want a coffee?
Oh, some water.
- [cup rattles] - [tap running]
Do you know what happened?
She was in the forest near the pond. She'd been stabbed
and left there.
But, I mean, why?
I've no Idea. What about you?
I don't know, er...
She disappeared, and we were worried about her, that's all.
You must have worried about this.
What could she have done to deserve that?
What do you mean, "to deserve that"? You think this is her fault?
Er, pardon me, that's not what I meant.
No person deserves that.
It was very brutal.
Looked like a crime of passion.
Means the killer could've been a boyfriend.
How could somebody do that? It's beyond me.
You mentioned before working the streets together.
But now you told me about cabaret. You guys do both, do you?
We try to avoid street work.
But the lockdowns were so hard for us that now we do anything that we can.
Which cabaret employs you?
Le Carat. With Valentina.
Same owner as the Blue Diamond?
The Blue Diamond? No. No.
And not Gibbes Koenig then, the, er, king of the night?
Er, I'm not sure about that, I don't know.
[sighs] Send me the photos, please.
I can investigate if you want.
Find out what happened.
Yes, okay.
Merci.

[newsreader] In other news, the police are calling for witnesses today,
after a woman's body was discovered,
in the train station district of the city following an anonymous phone call.
The body was found in a car park near the forest.
Current evidence points to a brutal murder.
The victim has not yet been identified.
The body lay for at least 24 hours.
The police are asking for anyone who was in the area between the hours...
[man] Looking for Marc Diederich, Snow White Special Intervention Unit.
Yeah, he's just over there.
- Thanks, man. - Sure.
Diederich, Special Intervention.
I was told to introduce myself. Toni Scholtes.
Ah, our customs officer.
[Toni exhales]
I heard you volunteered for this one. Had enough of the border, eh?
Er, fancied some new scenery.
So this train station mess is for us to clean up?
We're observing.
The drug trade around here is exploding. To combat this we need facts and evidence.
What are you doing at the crime scene of a whore?
This murder is bad news for the train station's neighbourhood.
It doesn't happen often in this country.
So what was it then? Another sex worker?
[Diederich] Revenge, robbery, killing, gang war. Nobody knows.
Undoubtedly, it'll take a while to identify the victim.
You know what?
Why don't you come to the office and meet your new partner.
You're gonna spend a lot of time together. Should get to know each other.
CENTRAL STATION
[mellow music playing over speakers]
[woman] Tell me about yourself. What do you do?
[Capitani] I'm an architect.
Really? An architect? Wow.
- [Capitani] Hmm. - [chuckles]
And what kind of buildings?
Banks.
[woman laughs] A true Luxembourger.
How perfect.
And? Shouldn't we invest in another bottle of champagne then?
We could take it upstairs and be even more comfortable.
Good idea.
Why not bring up one of your friends too?
Two for one? [chuckles]
Who? They're all so wonderful.
Do you also have... younger friends?
Younger, you say?
So drinking alcohol-free cocktails, you mean?
[Capitani] Hmm.
Do you enjoy a cocktail without alcohol?
I could do. And you?
Pure champagne.
Good night... Mr Architect.

EVERY DAY STARTING AT MIDNIGHT
[siren wailing distantly]
Bonjour. Can I get you something to drink?
- Two cappuccinos, s'il vous plaît. - Right.
[mellow music playing over speakers]
What's happened? Tell me, sister.
One of our girls was murdered.
The ex-cop, he found her.
When he discovered her... He showed me photos. They're horrible.
Which girl?
Andreea. The new girl.
The Romanian?
The new Romanian girl?
In the forest.
You mean you've heard?
[sighs]
[sighs] I saw her at the car park.
But when was that?
A few days ago.
I was surprised. You know the new girls shouldn't be there.
[knock on window]
Hello.
What the hell was that?
- [sighs] - Are you seeing each other?
No. Don't be stupid.
Bianca!
Please tell me you wouldn't do that. You know his reputation.
I'm not a fool. Exactly when did you see Andreea?
It's nothing to do with me.
- Meaning what exactly? - [waiter] Here you go.
It should be to do with everyone.
I should have kept schtum.
If there's anything you know, you better tell this guy.
The one who found her.
Let me give you his number.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[upbeat song playing over speakers]
I have news. Is your mother here?
Yeah.
[Valentina sighs]
That was excellent work. Thank you, Bianca.
[man] What should we do now?
Capitani's prepared to investigate. I said yes.
What? Who is this Capitani?
I said Bianca should go meet with this individual, Capitani,
should it be hard to find Andreea.
You sent Bianca, did you?
I wouldn't stick my own neck out with a person I haven't met first.
So who is this Capitani though?
[sighs] Merci, Bianca. Go, if you wouldn't mind.
I can pay Capitani with my own earnings. The girls will chip in.
No, no.
Andreea was one of ours. Therefore we do it.
Actually, erm...
I have a friend who works for Koenig.
She saw Andreea the night she was killed at the car park.
What do you mean? She never went there.
Yeah, I already told her that.
[door opens]
- [door closes] - This should be up to me.
What made you send Bianca to a stranger without asking first?
Capitani is an ex-policeman.
See to it that I get to meet him.
I'm in favour of lateral recruitment.
Police officer who allegedly killed a drug dealer in 2005 released from jail.
How am I gonna find him?
If your little girlfriend achieved it, so can you. Hmm?
[scoffs]
- [door opens] - [Valentina sighs]
[door closes]
What's up?
Bianca told me you'd be able to help, yeah, concerning, Andreea.
Apparently you saw something.
I don't remember, no.
[vehicle approaching]
- Hi. - Hi. Not today, mate.
Pick another one. Drive on.
[Grace] Arsehole.
Grace.
[sighs]
I mean, you would, er,
- tell me personally. - [sighs] Why would I?
Because it's my business. No?
Well...
Er, yeah?
- I can't quite remember. - [sighs]
That should do it.
- Just nothing. - Hmm.
- You're sure? - Well, yeah.
I'm counting on you, Grace.
[Capitani] Thank you.
[scoffs]
[suspenseful music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
What the fuck, dude?
- Seriously, man... - Yeah, calm down.
- It's just bones. - Give me a minute.
- No, no, let him be. - Here, take your cup.
- Putain. - Ugh, why give it back to me, man?
What's up? You're Capitani?
Yeah.
Bianca's our mutual friend. I'm Dominik.
Not here.
What do you want then?
You come highly recommended by Bianca.
I'm here to get you working directly for us.
Directly? Are you Dominik Draga?
As I live and I breathe.
Why would I work for you then?
You're fresh out of prison You're not drowning in work I imagine.
Okay, you're obviously well informed. So tell me something about yourself.
Le Carat and the Heaven are ours. Cabaret and champagne bars.
There's something for everybody.
And how about you come and work there?
[scoffs] Not going to happen.
Can't get involved with illegal businesses.
Illegal? Define illegal.
UNKNOWN INCOMING CALL
- [mobile buzzing] - Your business model.
There's nothing illegal there.
Our hostesses can sleep with whoever they want.
And if they get anything in return, that's only fair.
I would say that depends on your perspective.
Same as murder?
Why would you say that?
Everyone struggles at different points in their life.
However, a cop doesn't stay in prison for long, eh?
You carrying a mic or what?
Only before karaoke.
[scoffs]
Maybe just consider giving us a hand every so often.

You don't come here. Never.
You hear me? Never.
Well, I am here, Grace.
Where?
Er, Esch.

- Let's meet tomorrow, and you can... - Don't call me again.
- Grace. - [call disconnects]

[sighs deeply]

I made sure that the job was made clear.
The job? You, who's never managed to work two days in a row in his life?
- Fucking hilarious. - An ex-con you attract with money only.
