A Family Affair Comes Crashing Down in 'Van der Valk's "Safe in Amsterdam Part 2"

Piet Van der Valk did not look good at the start of this week's Van der Valk, as we returned for "Safe in Amsterdam, Part 2." Eddie is still missing in action; Bibi Franken (Anastasia Hille) swore her innocence in the double homicide, declaring she'd never murder her own son, and added in a bonus threat to Piet's girlfriend Lena (Loes Haverkort) to ensure that Piet and the team would start looking at other leads.

This is where Kalie (Kim Reidle) stepped up to the plate. Piet made it clear he still doesn't trust his ex, but we discovered all the defensiveness about the security officer comes from the fact that she happened to be with his last dog before she died. Kalie didn't actually have anything to do with the dog's death, but Piet hates the fact that the dog's last memory was with someone she didn't like. (Ed note: How very John Wick of him.) The past aside, Kalie went through the guards present at the bombing and has found the one responsible for planting it.

Wouldn't you know it? The bomber is named "Franz," and he's also the one who kidnapped Eddie. (Convenient, that.) Meanwhile, our guy managed to cut his restraints against a rusty part of the van he was still being kept in. When "Franz" came to check on him, Eddie took him down and then called Piet to report in. Piet instructed Eddie to find out who "Franz" really was because the team had already determined that his ID from the bombing was fake.
