These comments refer to both parts of this two-part story, not just episode two.
Shortly after an argument in a pole dancing club a man is found murdered in the boot of his car. He has ID on him but the person his papers refer to doesn't exist... it turns out he was an undercover policeman investigating a haulier who is believed to be smuggling drugs. As the investigation gets underway it is Annelies final day in the police so John takes the lead in the investigation; he soon starts to suspect Serge Lauwers, the dead officer's handler and Christina's boyfriend, is somehow involved. Worse than that as he looks more closely at Lauwers it appears that a member of the team is also corrupt. Meanwhile it is Professor T's birthday and he is more troubled than usual; talking to various murder victims who he imagines are in his office; even Mrs Sneyers and the dean, who are used to his peculiarities, are concerned.
As things stand it looks as though this may be the final 'Professor T' story; if so it provides a good send off without shutting out the possibility of bringing it back later. The case of the murdered undercover policeman is wrapped up fairly quickly but the question of whether a long term character is corrupt continues right to the dramatic climax. This case was gripping and right to the end I was unsure whether or not the character would prove to be corrupt or not... being the final story all bets were off. Professor T's story was equally interesting as we learn just what happened in the lead-up to his father's death. The cast was on great form; Koen De Bouw was brilliant as Professor T, bringing a real poignancy to the role. The rest of the regular cast are on fine form as well as are the supporting cast. Overall a fine story which will leave fans of the Belgian drama wishing there was more.
