'Van der Valk's Latest Case Brings All New Meaning to "Blood Diamonds"
Diamonds! They're a girl's best friend worth killing for. However, Van der Valk will get back to that voiceover. First, VDV and Haskell are at a bar where the cover band is playing "House of the Rising Sun," VDV shows off his newest acquisition: dog treats. VDV tries to rush out when the new girlfriend, Lena, turns up, much to Haskell's amusement, but she's got her eye on a girl anyway. (I guess that Season 1 heartbreak is over.)
VDV: Are you normally familiar with the genitalia of your employees?
Does Cloovers live at the gym? This is the second time the series has joined him post-workout; VDV tracked him down there to pick him up for work. They meet Haskell and Hendricks at the home of the Cuyper Family, diamond merchants worth €13 billion, where Angelina Cuyper (Julia Akkermans) is comforted by the family psychotherapist, Florian Barby (Leo Starr). There's a gift in the backyard: a male torso with a fingernail stuck in it. Her older sister Marielle (Hadewych Minis) rings to say the lower half's on her doorstep. VDV meets De Vries at Marielle's. She is far calmer than Angie, identifying her half as Ahmet Baykam (Anil Aras), one of the company's diamond polishers.
