Baptiste Episode Three

Was that not THE biggest plot twist ever?!

I feel as though I have to begin with Julien's huge discovery - relating to his personal life, not the investigation.

*****SPOILER ALERT*****

Julien has a son.

Julien Baptiste (Tchéky Karyo) and Niels (Boris van Severen) meet for coffee. Baptiste manages to retrieve Niels' cup and he sends it to the lab for DNA testing. Niels' reveals that he desperately needed a blood transfusion a few years ago, but as his blood type is AB-, he haemorrhaged for 30 minutes as they flew him in the rare type of blood. Suspicions seem to arise with Baptiste; who we assume is the same blood type, and has realised Niels' age.

Edward reveals to Baptiste (stuck in the basement, surrounded by a rotting head), that Natalie's 15 year old sister Cristina was sex trafficked by the Romanian gang - Brigada Serbilu. Natalie begged Edward to steal €1 million from them, to use against the gang in order to get her sister back. Stratton agreed, without knowing that he had been captured on camera stealing the money.

Constantin forced Stratton to return the money within 24 hours, and when he asked Natalie for the money, she refused. When Edward fails to give back the money, he returns home to Antwerp to find his fathers head on the kitchen table.

Near the end of the episode, Stratton is cornered by the Romanians and told to get in the car. I assume the worst.

We were finally given answers to Celia's wellbeing and she reunites with Julien in a laundry shop; the first place she saw with CCTV. Once it is revealed that Constantin broke into her flat, she states that she recognised him from the supermarket way back in Episode One. She flees the scene, causing havoc in her wake. Constatin attempts to chase her.

A warrant is issued for Constantin's arrest, and Genevieve (Jessica Raine) who is a British liason officer currently working at Europol, is alerted.

She states that the investigation is already ongoing, and that "Constantin is a mere cog in a huge machine". She states that Edward needs record the Romanians admitting to the death of Stratton's father, to blackmail Constantin into revealing the names of the gang members higher up the chain.

Edward tells her to piss off.

The episode concludes with Baptiste violently knocking on Martha's door, and confronting her as to why she did not tell him that Niels' was his son.
