Van Der Valk
Van Der Valk must solve a fashion crime as an old case comes back to haunt him and his boss…
Piet Van Der Valk and his boss, Chief Commissaris Julia Dahlman, have known each other for a long time, but an old adversary returns to haunt them in this week’s tense finale. The pair brought a corrupt colleague to justice many years ago, but now he’s back and desperate to get his revenge! Meanwhile, the Dutch detective and his team spring into action when a fashion designer is killed on the catwalk!
Piet Van Der Valk and his team race to find answers when a well-known fashion designer is murdered while at a fashion show in this week’s finale.
The shocking moment follows the slaying of a fashion vlogger, broadcast live, yet the brutal killings are just the beginning of the story for the Dutch detective and his team…
Van Der Valk believes anonymous street artist ‘Omega 616’ is behind the crimes, but he uncovers a world of lies, drug-taking and doubledealing in the Dutch fashion industry. With the whole of Amsterdam watching, Chief Commissaris Julia Dahlman knows the police must find answers quickly and she doesn’t care how they get them!
‘Dahlman knows Van Der Valk doesn’t follow the rules,’ says Emma Fielding, who plays her. ‘She respects and admires him, but she has to keep him in check!’
As the authorities search for answers, a past case, in which Dahlman sustained life-changing injuries while she and
Van Der Valk were pursuing a suspect, comes back to haunt them.
‘Van Der Valk and Dahlman have a backstory,’ explains Emma. ‘Something bad happened and he feels responsible. She was left with a terrible injury as a result of what happened and is in constant pain.’
Showdown
With Van Der Valk hot on the fashion killer’s trail and the criminal responsible for Dahlman’s injuries now back on the scene, theseries reaches a spectacular conclusion as bullets fly in a thrilling shoot-out! But will everyone survive?
‘The finale is very exciting,’ says Emma. ‘But my favourite part of the series was my character’s pet dog, Trojan. Her owner said she would wait at the door wagging her tail when it was time to go on set, because she’d be with her new friend. It made me quite teary!’
