The opening of episode three, somebody is murdered in a locked room whilst performing a magical ritual.
And the question is, were they killed by someone else in the room, which they couldn't have been, or were they killed by a demon?
We've gone into slightly supernatural territory.
There is perhaps inevitably an earthbound explanation also.
And that was really, really fun to sort of dip into a slightly more alternative world, whilst remaining within the realms of a conventional crime story.
- I got a date.
With the Devil.
- Mm.
- You know, the occult, I think the whole entire episode is fun.
And mysterious, and otherworldly, and fascinating.
And I think there's other characters in Van der Valk that may be scared by this.
- The world of the occult and the magic I think for Lucienne is very difficult.
- [Lucienne] Isaak Englehart and Nik Delacorte, you knew them, right?
- Of course.
They're both dead to me.
A bit like you and your siblings.
- Excuse me.
- You remember them chasing you down across the garden.
No, no.
That's not it, it was a farm yard.
But you're good, fast, faster than them really.
Only they're older and stronger.
- Enough.
- It certainly shakes her.
We get a reveal of something of her past.
- And Eddie is not a fan of the occult.
He doesn't wanna mess with the heebie-jeebie stuff.
- What about you?
You practicing magic?
- Yeah, trying to.
Invisible cause, visible effect.
