Oh my, Senne. - What do you think?
Beautiful. Handsome, yes.
Oy, that's very black.
Hey, thanks.
Your shoes, are they clean?
That's how you're going to get your pants dirty. - Yes, mom.
But yeah, that you're a little posh.
Or you also say I can't dress you.
I already can't cook and I can't dress you either.
Sorry. Sorry, sorry.
May I say something? - Yes, yes. What?
Your shirt is not ironed. - I did iron it.
Yes, but not to Mom's standards.
You know, our dad has re-watched every episode already about five times.
And we have a theory,
That you're the mole. - Really? Ok.
Everyone agrees you were right to choose the weekend, so you're getting away with it.
All my friends: But yes, Senne, that's nice, he prioritised you.
Everyone knows that you like to go on vacation.
Why on earth would you...
do that? Soon, your shirt...
Indeed. - Forget the finale, shirt ruined.
Good luck. Be careful.
See you one of these days.
Try to stand a little straight.
"Idiot, what are you doing?"
The messiah of Gullegem. He has risen.
Mrs. Karolien. - Hi.
I've been looking forward to this, unbelievable.
You were always my comfort. He missed out on even more.
Hello. - Hey.
Damn.
Coco.
I missed you so much.
Hey. Oh my, you look good.
People address me as: Hey, su puta madre.
I'm okay.
Lolo.
Hi Coco.
I missed you so much.
Buddy.
O, delightful.
I saw you coming from behind the corner and I thought:
That's Bernard from The Mole.
Maffiosi.
Glad to see you guys back. - Yeah, mate.
The reunion is particularly heartwarming after six months without each other.
Today they discover who won the game...
and who the mole is.
I think, if we're going to watch later, it could be Senne
coming out of the smoke.
I'm glad to see you back.
It could really be any of them.
My mouth is going to drop open later.
Today I will find out
that Michael is the mole.
Now I'm actually in undecided between Senne and Michael.
It's fifty-fifty actually.
Senne is the mole. Now I know for sure.
I had ruled out Senne because he was too cute,
but that's ultimately the problem with me in my love life.
I think: too cute. No, Coco, red flag.
So Senne is the mole.
I almost can't say it, but I think
that Bernard is the mole
and Michael the winner.
Dear friends.
First of all, I want to say that I am incredibly happy to see you all again.
We are in the beautiful St. John's Mountain Monastery.
This is no coincidence, because this is the ideal place for all the answers.
Because six months ago in another monastery in the hills of Sicili
one of these three crowned himself the winner
and the mole was unmasked.
Do you guys feel like watching the finale?
Yes.
Hola. Hottie alert.
Who is the mole?
Senne?
Bernard?
Or Michael?
Man, I'm already starting to have second thoughts.
I was in my tunnel. Really.
It's up to you, friends.
Come on.
Go, go, go.
I'm really nervous again.
The lights are out
and only the winner's spotlight will come back on.
Man, that's unbelievable.
Good job. - Congratulations.
Congratulations.
Congratulations, Bernard.
Merci, merci.
Bernard, does your wife already know that she may work on the front of the building?
My wife doesn't know anything yet. - Really?
No, I've been silent. - Bernard.
You, Bernard, unmasked the mole.
And here he comes.
And now... Now...
Senne or Michael.
Damn.
Senne.
Wow, man. - Sorry
So you're really such a botcher then?
Really, I'm the klutz of the group. Sorry.
Amazing mole. Beautiful, really.
Oh my God. - Damn it.
Finally they know who the mole is: Senne.
A mole who took just about every chance to sabotage...
with both hands.
Especially because there was that one big challenge:
the doublers.
Ready for the mischief?
See him beaming with satisfaction.
Very curious. - Super curious.
A few weeks before departure, Senne got a very special message.
Hello Mr. De Coster. - Mr. van der Zweep.
Pleased to meet you.
That's some sweaty palms. - Yes, even more now you're sitting next to me.
Dear Senne. - Yes?
Would you like to be the mole? - With great pleasure.
Then it is hereby official.
That's really amazing. Can I hug you?
You may. - Come over here.
Holy shit, that's so crazy.
Amai, that's very nice.
Intensive preparation follows.
And it is necessary, because the group gets a powerful weapon this year...
against the mole.
This is a doubler.
If this is used for an assignment, that assignment is worth twice as much money.
Nice.
Disappointed?
I did hope it would be a personal benefit, of course.
It could be, with five or six of those... - Damn.
...coins.
Soon that will be a group pot of 60,000 or so.
The news of the doublers
did give a lot of extra stress,
because that's what you don't want as a mole, to make more money.
Yes, freedom.
During the opening mission three doublers...
hang under the boat.
I want to prospect first. - Who else wants to be first?
Maybe we can finish up quickly and then go on?
Yes... And what are you all going to take there?
Diving up the doubler at the boat was a very deliberate tactic
to build confidence among the group. That seemed more important for a start.
I also did dive up a question mark.
Then I thought: Getting rid of it is a problem for later.
We'll solve that later.
In total, in those first days they find four doublers...
four chances for an extra sum of money.
I briefly found something.
From the second episode onwards. the doublers come into play...
and put extra pressure on the mole's shoulders.
You don't know when those doublers are used,
so it can change your preparation
because at an unexpected moment you have to mole much harder
or sabotage more, which can tire you out.
Bernard keeps them in his pocket for the first assignment.
The sun is shining brightly today, so I'm gonna keep them with me.
On the first assignment, he didn't use them, which meant
that the next day at the prison the chances were very high that he was going to do it.
So I really had to get into the position where I could slow everything down.
And that position is that of the prisoner.
A candidate is locked into the highest room...
the candidate who is the last to show up for breakfast.
There are only eight chairs. - Senne is in the shower.
Senne is the last one and he is sent away.
Senne, fuck.
He was shaking his hand. - I'd be shaking, too, should I be standing there.
I very accidentally took a shower two minutes before the music,
so I was all wet and naked when the music started
and still had a nice amount of time to spare. - Ah, ok.
Sly Fox, I was going to say, but it's sly mole.
Sly mole, indeed.
If you manage to free the prisoner within the hour,
then you will earn 5,000 euros.
Just take 10,000.
That was nervewrecking, though:
okay, 10,000 euros is such an insane amount of money to get added all at once.
So it really had to go wrong.
The greatest enemy of the liberators is wind...
because their candle must not be extinguished.
Ho, man.
Unfortunately for them, the only one who can turn off the fans is the mole.
Of course I know what that button does.
All the fans then shut off.
But we won't be doing that very much today.
Olala, what's that?
She's out.
The fans keep running...
and that makes it very difficult to advance.
Out?
Lolo.
Your candle.
I won't push it too much.
Who knows what it means? Who knows what it does?
It's out.
The candle is out.
Perfect.
They're really fooled. How amazing is that?
Senne's cell is full of phrases from famous people...
who have been in prison.
You get more done with a kind word if you put a gun next to it.
Crucial tips that the mole would rather not pass on.
Unless very late.
Do you regret having used a doubler?
Right now, yes.
Senne? Yes, yes.
Eventually the liberators get to Senne.
But even then he continues to stall for time.
The signs are attached with two nails...
What order are you going to choose? Who are you going to hang where?
We don't have a lot of time. - I'm going to undo them already, though.
No, how are you going to move them? - Come. What are we going to do?
You guys first, me next. Okay? - Yes, ok.
Come on.
The hour is up, the 10,000 euros gone.
Damn.
The first doubler went up in smoke.
Four minutes late to an hour. Why didn't you get me out of the shower this morning?
Sorry. I was in that room. Nobody spoke to me.
Senne, sorry, but... - I know,
but that was fucking frustrating.
When I was outside, I told everyone off.
That was so much fun.
But it was hard to stay serious in the car.
I was thinking to myself: Man, idiot, what are you doing?
That same night Senne also opens Pandora's box.
Okay, eight pass questions.
That's a lot more valuable than 2,000 euros.
Pretty sure.
Brilliant.
We need to wake everyone up.
Get up, get up. Wake up.
Michael rushes to limit the damage.
Senne a little less so.
This is going to be wrong.
I woke up Just ran after Michael.
I didn't knock on any doors, talked to no one.
But Michael ranted like a raving lunatic, of course.
Please come, the group pot is disappearing. Come.
I've been having a great time the past two days. I thought that was so good.
Man, used that doubler, and lost 10,000 euros,
3,000 euros out of that pot. That was just: bang, bang, all eight of them.
That was amazing.
Everybody was going to keep the box closed.
And the box is open.
No candidate who thinks about...
going in search for the name of the mole.
However, it is just in the lid.
Twice.
Because the only name you can form with the letters from this sentence...
is that of the mole.
You just have to reverse them.
Tagliatelle.
Taglia-fucking-telle, yes.
My mother-in-law makes that, with veal.
In episode three, Lynn has the doublers in her possession.
I have it with me.
In Centuripe, she still keeps them in her pocket, leading the mole to suspect...
that she will double the stakes of the final assignment.
Thank you. - Here you go.
That's why he makes sure he's in a decisive position that day.
I knew where the bomb would go off because during his explanation,
Gilles made it clear with his two fingers: in the second Ape, the bomb will explode.
In one of these two Apes a bomb will explode in a moment.
Who's sitting on a bomb, guys?
Then I knew: we have to aim for Michael and Bernard.
That's where the bomb is. - The bomb is in that car.
My gut says that the left is much more nervous.
Yes, the guys.
At first I honestly thought here, but now I'm thinking more there.
Please think it through, I'm serious. - Yes, please.
Acts of desperation.
The bomb is in the left Ape.
You are leaving 2,800 euros.
Fucking hell.
Again, zero euros. Charlotte sums it up aptly.
We only have two doublers left.
And two are thrown into the trash.
They gave them to me.
I think I can handle that better.
By some miracle, she gets the doublers that night.
Finally she can show them how it's done.
We're playing for 3,500 euros.
Or Charlotte decides here and now that it will be 7,000 euros.
I don't have it with me.
In episode four. not a single doubler is used.
That bothers me.
Then Charlotte passes on the last two doublers...
to someone who knows what to do with them.
I'll pass them on to Senne today.
When Charlotte gave them, I had to stay serious,
because you're, like, super nervous, because it's elimination and all that stuff.
At that very moment I did have a little bit of trouble
to hold back my laughter, because I was actually super happy.
And not at all nervous.
Senne, you are responsible from now on.
We'll see later whether it was a smart choice.
In your head you think: Yes, now they're all gone. Now it's up to me.
Senne has a clear plan.
The first step: a small, unfortunate oblivion.
I don't have that one with me, that doubler.
I don't have it with me. I didn't expect anything more to come.
Because he absolutely wants to use his doubler here...
In Poggioreale, at the assignment with the moms.
I have some news to share with you.
And what is that piece of news? - That is that I have been selected
to participate in the new season of The Mole.
Really?
But Senne.
Fantastic. - Really. And there's more.
He immediately informs her that this year...
the moms are coming to visit.
They asked all the candidates this year to ask their mom to come.
Nice.
Nice. I hope you win. Wow.
Senne's mom has no idea that her son is the mole...
and blindly goes along with the proposal to double the stakes.
Go for it. - Ok.
I'm listening.
Please. - Thank you
You are playing for 9,000 euros.
The money will be earned if three duos in the final...
make a correct assessment.
If the mole wants to strike, he has to get into the final assignment.
If at any time I have the lowest tower, I'm out of the game.
But I've been able to practice a little bit beforehand, of course.
Several weeks before departure.
Nine. Ten.
That's a pretty good one.
Senne easily gets into it...
and stands there like the others facing the choice:
a pass question or a weekend in Amsterdam.
If all three of you manage to make the same choice as your mom or sister,
then 3,600 euros will go to the group pot.
Before we left on our trip, I went for dinner at my parents' house, four or five times.
Every time we started talking to our mom about The Mole and every time I said
that she should always choose pass questions if we got that chance.
Always go for pass questions. - Always pass questions.
Always go for exemptions.
You want to make it to the next round. - Well yes, that's it.
You always have to choose for yourself. - Indeed.
She was already completely in the game.
Then she arrived and found that she had done some preliminary work.
I even have a mole book. - Really?
Did you bring your own mole book? - That can't be true.
Did you get that or did you bring that yourself? - I brought that myself.
Of course.
A mole book.
The age is listed. - Of all the moms.
I don't know what they'll ask. - The allergies, who likes to cook.
Who's been to Center Parcs.
You've been here ten minutes and that mole book is already filled out better than mine.
Senne is sure that his mom will choose the pass question...
and now only has to finish it.
Yasmine, what do you think?
Pass question.
Do my reactions seem genuine? - Yes, yes.
Because I have so much trouble holding back my laughter.
Oh my, man.
And pass question is too little. = That's nothing.
I was really convinced.
I felt so guilty. - Our mother, poor thing.
Mom, you did so well today.
Sorry about this. Really.
I apologize for my lying and cheating. You did a fantastic job.
You obviously made the logical choice.
And was she aware of anything herself?
She hugged me and she immediately said, "You're the mole".
Really, she said, You're the mole.
You're the mole. I think so.
Think whatever you want, mom.
Only one more doubler and still Senne is not ready...
because he now has to pass it on to another candidate.
As a mole, what's the best that can happen right now?
Yes, give the doubler to the person who drops out.
But should I do the same today,
that would be so ridiculous, tt would almost be too much.
Look, we're going to play it fair.
Take a guess who you think it is, but we're not going to tell you.
I'm going to give the last doubler to Lynn.
Thanks, Senne. - Here you go.
Ah, fuck.
You asshole.
Wow, buddy.
This man knows no mercy. - This is unbelievable.
You didn't know I was going to drop out? - I really didn't know.
I hesitated until the last second whether to give them to you or to Stéphanie.
But as we walked from the assignment with the moms to the cars,
you said to me at one point: It's admirable that you choose the weekend.
You don't say that if you think I did that on purpose.
That's why I thought: I'm going to give them to Lynn.
Damn it. - Sorry.
Ah, we have doublers. That pot should be 60,000.
It was a bit of a point of honor
that all four doublers would be gone without earning anything.
I played a decisive role in getting them gone.
That's something I'm kind of proud of, that it succeeded.
I didn't notice you showering at all. - Really?
No, no. You showered for quite a while.
Lynn and Charlotte took super long. I had to keep showering.
In that jail upstairs you said yourself:
There were indeed phrases that I had not seen.
I thought: You're not the mole.
Me too. I also thought: That's just some naive person sitting there
and doesn't realize what he has to do. I thought the same thing.
But your reactions are so good, I actually think so.
I'm usually satisfied when I see it on TV.
Except when we woke everybody up,
I looked at the TV and thought Man, at least fake it.
Half of us didn't have contacts in, so nobody could see you.
How were you able to hide that you were so happy?
A lot of times when I had to do a reaction, sitting with my hands over my mouth.
Like this. - In almost all the responses I do this, oh, no.
With my hand like this: it can't be true, can it?
I noticed in the briefings how relaxed you were and how much you enjoyed it.
Your face, you're enjoying it so much. - I did enjoy it so much, you're right.
We're going to make a pizza hawai.
Are you going to do your best for that?
I've already cost him so much money today. Poor thing.
The mole had a hand in playing away all the doublers.
But even apart from that Senne, of course, was not sitting still.
It's started. Come.
On day two, the group could make money...
by harvesting as many olives.
Senne is with the pickers, but is not exactly a big help there.
Damn.
The candidates are allowed to spread out over the various colored barrels.
But there is only one color each time that is correct and makes money.
Senne makes it a point of honor to put his olives...
only into wrong barrels.
Wait, huh. Underwater world.
But in the second round suddenly there is no more
of spreading olives.
Where did she meet him? Does anyone have an idea?
Yeah, lockdown party. One hundred percent.
Karolien was one hundred percent sure: it's yellow.
So I couldn't argue with that. I couldn't.
It's yellow.
That's where I threw everything out.
I'll help fill up.
I'm going.
Yeah, go ahead. - Everything out.
I'm broken.
Do you remember where we're going to put the answers?
Blue, yellow, red.
The colors of... - Westerlo.
The colors of the right answers...
are also the three colors of the flag of Westerlo...
The village Senne was born.
Thus, in episode one there was already a hint to the identity of the mole.
Bernard, I have a proposal for you.
A proposal you can't refuse.
The day after, one candidate must become responsible...
for the doublers.
And the longer that lasts, the less money goes to the pot.
The mole has ears for that.
Okay, here's the briefing for later,
to find out who the three contenders are for the exemption.
We all sit down in a circle. Yes?
If you start with me and you go clockwise,
the second, the sixth and the ninth.
Those need to stay in the discussion.
My tactic was to try to misdirect someone.
Then suddenly 2,000 is gone.
Lolo, what exactly did you see? - I saw Gillian.
And then what? - Then I didn't see anything more.
Ten seconds. - We're really circling.
Yes, who are we going to...
Charlotte says she didn't see anything after the first image.
Why don't we go into that more? I got...
Time is up.
Has been voted out...
Charlotte.
2,000 euros is lost.
Thank you, Charlotte.
What's this, guys?
In the parking lot at the car puzzle candidates must indicate...
whether the logos are Italian or not.
Pick Italian.
A wrong choice means five minutes of penalty time.
They got it wrong.
In the puzzle assignment, you can control everything to arrive too late
and cause the mission to fail.
We tested it recently and at three errors you're probably out of time.
And at four errors you're sure. - Ok.
I'm good at car brands. - Ok, very good.
At the car brand sign, six times out of seven times,
I have been able to contribute.
Then I knew: this assignment is bound to fail.
Italian? - Yes.
Making your own mistakes or going along with those of others.
Agree? - Yes.
Senne makes sure that he collects enough penalty time.
So you had to get the job done in forty minutes.
The last ice cream was here
at 44 minutes.
Really. - Are you serious?
Too bad, unfortunately.
Had I known that so much stamina was needed...
Shhh, save your strength. Come.
In Centuripe Senne and Charlotte should...
send the intervention team to four locations in the village.
Senne knows exactly where the money bags will be dropped...
thanks to an extremely ingenious system.
Head, shoulders, knee and toe. It's four, isn't it?
When they answer phones with Italian ring tones...
they get a correct location through.
that's amore
Yes? - Italian?
Buongiorno.
They answer a wrong phone...
and Coco and Bernard are thus also sent in the wrong direction.
That's so frustrating.
I had, by guiding them to Thats Amore, already made them fail.
But then I had opened the box with Michael,
so there were already some eyes on us.
So I had be more subtle that day.
scoppia scoppia
Hello.
There's a bag of money here, by the right foot.
The left foot.
9, yes. Grazie mille.
No, it goes like this.
Bernard.
It's done. It's done.
Guys, we didn't make it.
The assignment ends with a lineup and with music...
From the crime classic The Usual Suspects.
One. - They have one with them.
My God.
The mole therefore takes a very deliberate pose.
Exactly the same as Kevin Spacey on the movie poster.
The man who in the movie put everyone on the wrong foot...
and in the end turns out to be the con man.
But the next day there is a much clearer clue.
Charlotte, Coco, Michael and Bernard.
Good morning.
They're not saying anything.
Four candidates must remain silent.
And just then the mole communicates briefly through sign language.
A hand gesture with a very clear meaning.
On day nine, the candidates take on Massimiliano.
I like it.
Any candidate who can stay fifteen rounds ahead of him...
earns 1,000 euros.
I would obviously prefer to be in the kart, anyway.
But then I'd also just like to drive like to drive that kart, anyway.
And driving fast, that's what Senne does.
Already after a few laps he has a big lead over Massimiliano.
Let's go. Come on.
I'm good at karting.
I used to do it a lot with my brother and dad.
So it would be very suspicious to suddenly be overtaken
Come on.
The plan was to take the last lap dramatically hard into the side.
I was searching along the way for the most realistic spot.
And that's where I've been practicing.
Watch out, Senne.
It wasn't even necessary in the end.
Because there was Michael, the godsend, that brought me to the side too soon.
He'll be on his last lap now, won't he? Are you on your last lap, Senne?
Raise your hand. Is that fourteen?
Yeah, buddy.
As a result, I was able to make it fail, but much more subtly.
Did I stop too soon?
Fuck.
What's up? - Actually had a great day.
It looks like I raced like crazy,
but they took me off a lap too early, so I don't earn anything.
How stupid does that look? I drive across the finish line like this.
But I wouldn't have won anyway,
because if they hadn't pulled me off, I would have driven very theatrically into the side.
So that 1,000 euros would never be earned anyway.
No. - Watch out.
In Castelmola, four candidates have to make sure...
that their pizza ends up on the table unscathed.
But there lurks a dangerous enemy.
They transport their pizzas with a long pizza shovel...
something Senne had already practiced in Belgium.
Damn it.
My pizza is worthless.
Pizza broken.
And to really leave nothing to chance...
Senne also had scheduled an important restroom visit.
We're going to make pizza hawai.
At some point it was leaking through my pants.
My pants were pitch black because of the moisture from those pineapples.
So I was drinking before we started
and then accidentally spilled, so I wet everywhere, so it didn't stand out too much.
With pants full of pineapple Senne should try now...
to subtly put them on his pizza.
You have to find a right moment, because they're right next to you.
So you have to kind of see: where do I have a moment?
Watch out, watch out. - Yes, watch out. Move on.
I missed it. Then I started to stress out,
because I had to find another moment
and do it all again.
No. - Wait, wait.
Fuck, I've been hit. I got...
What? - Pineapple on it.
That's nice. - Come on, man.
When I look back at it now, I still think: Too bad.
I thought you tilted the pizza just a bit, but you
just slammed the pineapple on.
How nervous did you get when you did that with the pineapple?
Very nervous. Because we were three feet apart.
It happened a couple of times that I wanted to grab them and someone turned around.
And then quickly hold onto the shovel again.
You'd really think these sabotages would be obvious.
But they're not.
You feel so stupid. Don't you?
I didn't enjoy Centuripe.
I had to walk so much.
And all because of you.
Really, the right foot.
I think that's strong. A phone call with a straight face.
With a straight face And just flat-out lying.
While he was thinking: I'm going to hold back. And still not be able to resist.
That's true. - You're really enjoying yourself.
That pretty much sums up how you did it.
He's just a mafioso. See. - Indeed.
Please.
To me, you were the most fearless mole ever.
The responsibility you bear and how you handled it
and remained so authentic...
Way to go, buddy. - Thank you.
That's very sweet. Thank you.
The trip is almost halfway through and the mole has a bold proposal ready.
That scared me.
Senne tries to convince the candidates...
to buy as many correct answers as possible on the elimination test...
at 1,000 euros each.
I'll pass, mole. I urgently need to put some money in the pot.
You don't earn money by going home, Michael.
You may correct two questions.
I'm going to go with three.
I wouldn't be so comfortable with three.
I'm going to go with four.
Coco sits with the lowest score and has a deal with the mole.
Okay, you may correct one question.
But that deal only goes through if she is not unmasked by the rest.
Are you stressed now that you're sitting here? - No, not really.
It does seems so. - Oh.
It was clear quite quickly that Coco was very nervous.
But Michael was also genuinely acting weird there.
I think there are some nervous people among them.
Mich is a lot quieter than usual. - Yeah, I think Mich is really quiet, too.
But then Coco really fell through, so I had to vote for her.
Hands in the air for Coco?
In Seggesta there is 6,000 euros to be earned...
if everyone is at the temple before the columns of Hercules fall.
Senne and Michael are the powerhouses on duty.
I actually wanted to be the second to have those pillars in my hands after Michael,
so that I could decide when it failed.
You start. - I think it makes sense for the strongest to start.
I think it's better that you start.
For if you can't last, and we still have to wait a long time.
I think I can hold out longer.
Okay.
The sabotage is not going according to plan.
I'm going to get ready.
But fortunately, Senne has a secret weapon up his sleeve.
Hello Mr. De Coster. - Mr. van der Zweep.
Those are some sweaty hands.
When I'm nervous, I always have sweaty hands.
Always sweaty hands.
My fingers are slipping, man. - Take over?
Please.
There was talcum powder provided so as not to lose grip.
I didn't take the talc, even though Hercules was using it,
hoping Michael didn't see it. And he didn't.
Then Michael had to take over those sweaty handles, with no talc.
Come on, Michael. - I'm losing it.
Sorry. - Damn it.
Oh, no.
I think we stood there for a fairly long time.
Can somebody come over here? - Can you help?
In the coffins, Senne and Stéphanie need help...
from the locals.
Hello. Do you speak English?
But with Senne, they are not always helpful.
please leave without saying anything
Damn, they're ignoring me.
Mole book?
Mine is gone, too.
Come on. - Get ready.
In the paintball task, the candidates defend the mole books.
Fuck, I don't see anything.
Each mole booklet that survives the attack earns 1,000 euros.
I don't think I hit a single person.
One by accident, I suspect, but that really wasn't my intention.
I hit that one.
Ah no.
After the first round, the mole book of Senne goes up in flames.
That's mine.
When were you born? - Me? In 1995.
I'm looking at a link. I'm looking for something.
Focus. Now we're going to... - Come.
But 1998 is indeed the birth year of The Mole.
Not of Senne himself, but of this program.
The very first episode aired on December 6, 1998.
In the end, the candidates deliver a strong performance...
and earn 3,000 euros.
After a few difficult days, it does something to the group.
It startled me, it really brought out some primal cry.
They needed that so badly. But I didn't realize that at the time.
I had been enjoying the whole time of the fact that things were going so smoothly.
So fucking amazing.
Good job.
They really needed it, indeed.
This is better than any espresso we've had.
In Palermo, the mole ups another gear.
With every step that Senne and Bernard take into the city.
they lose 1 euro.
And you don't have to tell the mole that twice.
I don't know if I imagined it, but sometimes I saw him
make a little side step, a little jump.
That would be typical mole behavior.
Good one.
A little later they have to count the steps of the cathedral.
Is it an idea that someone walks down and counts?
Just walk down and count?
You go down. - I go down? Ok.
But leaving the mole alone, that's never a good idea.
2 euros. 4 euros. 6 euros. 8 euros. 10 euros.
I've already cost him so much money today. Poor thing.
Hey yo, followers, here's Mikey Mo again, your trusty vlogger voice.
The ensuing 24 hours, the candidates spend apart.
No one knows what he or she awaits.
Neither does the mole.
You're taking a bath with the mother of a fellow candidate. What the fuck.
What the fuck.
That's messed up.
Hi Kathie. - Hi Senne.
The mole does know whether the others are telling the truth or a lie.
And he uses that to his advantage.
There's a lot of money at stake tonight, Senne.
Are you going to give it your best shot?
You may also answer as a candidate. - Okay, okay.
Are you going to give it your best shot? - Of course, it's necessary.
I made an attempt to swim across the Straits of Messina.
Michael goes first. He begins to tell his story.
No one believes him. No one.
I have a feeling that you're lying.
So my plan was to use reverse psychology
in the hope that they go against me.
Senne, what do you think?
I think it was a fat lie.
Whereupon the two of them both immediately switched to: it is true.
I believe you.
I believe you, too.
Okay.
Sorry. - I still wanted to switch.
I also wanted to switch. - I also wanted to switch.
Zero euros to the group pot.
Amazing. That couldn't have started any better.
In the finals, the candidates play...
a simple game Find the five differences.
Come on, guys.
Senne numbered for himself the roses from 1 to 30...
and memorized all the correct answers.
Number 3 is the sun. Number 10 are the flags.
And number 21 is the owl.
So Senne knows perfectly which roses are worth money
and which to stay away from.
But Bernard and Michael won't just let it happen.
Bead. The one, in the middle.
Go, go, go,
Leaking barrel. - Leaking barrel, that's right there.
I know where to go, but I'm trying to walk to the rose above it, and grab it.
But he noticed that immediately.
No, there, leaking barrel. - Which one?
There.
Then I just grabbed the good one and threw it away,
because I thought, Okay, you caught me.
Fortunately for him, the next day the mole can...
try one last time.
There goes one of those things.
He has to outwit a high-tech guard
by imitating a statue.
At the villaroof there was no option to earn money.
It could just not be an option. It was also my last chance to mole once more,
so it had to fail.
Come on, guys.
So Senne removes, one last time, 2,000 euros from the pot.
They clock off on just over 24,000 euros...
less than a quarter of the total amount to be earned.
Just as a candidate, how did the mole do?
I think the mole can really look back on a very successful performance.
That's a horrible thing to say that about yourself. Oh my, Jesus.
We're gonna get them
Everything Senne does now is just: mole, mole, mole.
Did I take a bath with the mole?
I knew it.
One week ago.
I also have a little surprise for you. Oh, oh.
I have something you may see.
But it's something that can't be spoken about.
You know I can keep a secret.
I may already show you the final episode today.
You can't be serious. Really? - Yes.
Right now? - Yes.
I may see that already? - If you want, you may see it.
But don't tell anyone. Promise? - Of course. Ah yes, absolutely.
Promise, huh.
I promise. - Okay, that's good.
Exciting. - Exciting, huh.
We're going for it. Wow, Senne.
A nice amount of money. - That's nice.
It's decided.
The game has been played.
The lights are extinguished.
And only the winner's spotlight will turn on again in a moment
My heart is beating,
Yes, yes.
Oh, I have to be quiet.
Did you win?
You, Bernard, have unmasked the mole.
And here he comes.
Do you want to know or should I close it?
And do we wait until... - No, no.
You don't, you know.
I knew it. - That's true.
Amai, I really dreamed of this, of seeing you arrive in a suit.
Fantastic. You did that so well.
Wow.
Did I take a bath with the mole?
I am the loser of the game.
But still, well done, buddy.
I can still see you leaving: Here's hoping I'm not the first one out.
You fucking won that game.
Wow, now I have to shed a tear.
Thank you.
Michke. Coco. - Thank you.
Friends, I think it's clear that the mole had a good time
and that he did an outstanding job.
He has left little to be desired as well.
The mole has to mole. - He left nothing behind.
We're proud of you. - Thank you, that's very sweet. Merci.
This season was extra difficult with the doublers.
May I say that the mole has won?
Absolutely. - Definitely.
I was very afraid of getting the title of the mole with the biggest group spot ever.
I'm very glad that didn't happen. - How unfortunate that would have been.
Dang.
Bernard, one more important question.
Is it still possible to take a bath?
Yes, I took
three bottles of bleach.
And now I try to get back in there with my feet.
And you. Senne, can you take another bath without Kathie?
I haven't had a bath since.
Now that's a bad romance.
Beautiful, Coco. - Amai.
That's really a Bernard joke.
Friends, Senne has been unmasked as the mole.
Bernard is the winner of this season.
But how did we get there?
Who were the suspects in this group?
In which tunnels was it cozy?
And who was on the mole's trail?
A story of ten candidates, three finalists
and seven red screens.
The start of the search for the mole is always difficult...
and suspicions go in every direction.
But everyone is sure about one thing.
I rule out Gillian one hundred percent.
It can't possibly be Gillian.
He's just too honest and too sincere.
Then he gets an Oscar from me.
The messiah of Gullegem also shows no doubt himself.
We're going to get them
Catch him, catch her
It was an ex aequo tonight.
The time of the elimination test was decisive.
We're going to get the mole. That's the goal.
Gillian.
I'm 99 percent sure who it is. - Ah, bon.
I think Stéphanie.
But Stéphanie is thus not the mole.
I'm a little scared, though. Being the first one out is not so much fun.
In fact, she was almost out that night...
it was her who stood ex aequo with Gillian.
Yes.
In episode two, more than a third of the group's pot disappears...
and that does't go unnoticed.
We've actually lost a lot of money.
I don't know if the mole had anything to do with this or whether it all came out really well.
My gut feeling is that these are just candidates who very much want to stay here.
Superb.
I think the mole opened the box.
Those are for us.
I filled in on one person.
On who? - Michael.
Michael is my mole.
Senne? - Yes, yes.
Yes, yes.
Karolien and Philippe may determine who has a chance
of personal advantage.
Also think carefully about who you put last. - Who do you trust the least?
And also who has no chance at all.
My prime suspect is Lynn.
Come.
That's where Lynn came into my sight.
Karolien and Philippe are unanimous: Lynn cannot be trusted.
Who certainly can be trusted, is Senne.
Good job.
If Senne is the mole and has been behaving so naively
then I think that this is our last time together.
It is that morning by the way, another ex aequo.
Bye.
Karolien is one second slower than Philippe.
In the previous test, Coco completed all her questions on Michael.
Yes, just... Michael Moens, that just sounds good to be a mole.
MM, mole, double mole or something.
And the fact that she is still in the game, makes her hopeful.
It worked last time, so I hope it continues to work.
I'm in my tunnel, so I filled in everything on Michael.
And Michael...
Currently, Coco is on my radar.
just looks back at Coco.
Bernard is being sent from the pillar to post.
He begins to be suspicious with Senne.
It can't be.
I really think we were in the right place.
Apparently, he answered that last phone.
Hello.
If that's true, that means he heard something
and said something else.
Left foot.
That's a master mole move in my eyes.
Who doesn't notice the mole is Philippe.
My prime suspect is Lynn, but maybe a shared place with Michael.
Philippe.
I really didn't expect this: Philippe. - No, neither did I.
Lynn really didn't expect the the departure of Philippe.
I have to say, after Philippe dropped out, he really was my prime suspect,
all my cards had to be rearranged for a moment.
Fortunately, she is just in time to switch prime suspects.
Who do you think you're talking to now?
I think that I'm
talking to Charlotte.
Interesting.
There are still those who dare speaking out who they suspect.
Hi Coco. - Hi Michael.
How was your test? - I think I bet everything on you.
Michael also thinks he is talking to Coco.
I was watching you the whole time.
I hope we are going to see each other in the finals.
Sounds good, I think. Us two, dear mole.
Jesus, amai.
Michael and Coco don't let go of each other anymore.
Do you smell that?
I just don't see a mole in anyone else.
I don't think I'm going to Belgium today.
Hands in the air for Coco?
Really, I was so sure of my mole. That's crazy.
Had they not unmasked Coco...
then the candidate with the second lowest score had to go home.
How are you, Lynn?
And that was Lynn that night.
That was stupid.
After Coco's departure Michael must re-energize...
and he has devised a sophisticated system for that.
Someone who is suspicious, gets a big circle.
If something is suspicious, I put another cross at the bottom of the circle.
If money is made, a cross is introduced.
Someone who is not in the key position, gets a little circle from me.
A cross at the bottom right means that something weird happened in that assignment...
I took a close look at all my
And that's how I get to...
Stéphanie.
But she won't get away with it.
Less scientific, but more accurate, is still Bernard.
The further we go into the game, the more it feels like everything is right with Senne.
In Poggioreale, Senne is particularly interested...
in a weekend in Amsterdam.
As a result, Charlotte and Stéphanie...
are starting to keep an eye on him.
It doesn't all make sense to me anymore that he's the cool guy from Westerlo.
I mean, he's still cool, but not in the game.
They're both still on two suspects.
I'm still in doubt at the moment between Lynn and Senne.
For now, for me, Lynn and Senne.
And Lynn herself, thinks she's still in episode one.
I currently find everyone still a little suspicious.
Shall I start with you?
Ah, fuck.
Ai, Lynn. - Yeah, stupid.
Lynn's departure is an important moment.
My prime suspect was Lynn. And she's out.
Which most people are now quietly looking in the right direction.
I keep finding more and more clues in the same direction.
Somewhere I'm in tunnel vision.
But I'll ride it out with a mole in my hands.
Michael's system...
Big dots and little dots and crosses and dashes and...
is actually beginning to work.
Senne is one big sphere.
But of course somebody has to go home.
If I have to follow my gut, it's Senne.
But should Michael be the mole, it wouldn't surprise me.
Stéphanie.
Have you found the mole? - I thought so, but maybe I'm wrong.
On the eve of the finals everyone is sure of it.
All Senne is doing now is: mole, mole, mole.
In my dot system he really is at the top.
No one wants to be the last dropout.
Charlotte has the best memory of the four of us.
So I'm more nervous now than for an interview with Romelu Lukaku.
Pinocchio provides Michael and Bernard two pass questions.
Thank you. - Here you go.
And they come in handy...
because Michael has the lowest score on the test.
But he, thanks to his pass questions narrowly wins over Charlotte.
Charlotte.
The three finalists are now finally known.
Although one of those three already made it clear in the first episode...
that he would make it this far.
Senne spoke in those first days out exactly four numbers...
which together form a hint.
Lynn, 38. - Is Lynn 38, yes?
So just starting from scratch. Two espressos.
I wanted to press on fourteen and it stopped at sixteen.
The mole gave us from the beginning...
the coordinates of a Sicilian village with a striking name.
Because Senne, of course, is the only one who was sure of the finals.
In the decisive showdown...
two great candidates face each other.
I'm 99.99 percent sure.
I rate Bernard's chances just a little higher than mine.
Michael achieves a score of 28 out of 30.
But he is hopeless against Bernard...
who completes the test without making a single mistake.
30 out of 30.
The one and only winner of this game.
I am the luckiest person in the world. - I see.
Michael, 28 out of 30, that's a phenomenal score.
Yeah. - Yep.
I think you can only be proud.
But you lost out against Master Bernard.
30 out of 30. The perfect score, Bernard.
That means you are an undeserved winner.
And so
it is my great honor to
hand this to you.
Here you go. - Thank you.
Congratulations, Bernard. - Congratulations.
We all knew anyway that he was going to win.
You're just way too punitive.
We already know you're going to make a facade with it.
But what's the plan?
I have many things in my head: sensible and not so sensible things.
That's okay, too.
Michael, I think we've all learned a little bit more about you
and that you've seen things other than happiness and fun.
I thought it would be nice to support the fund which also tried to help your daughter
and gave you after care.
So I'm going to support that fund, so that I also have a little...
So I'm going to support that fund, so that I also...
can help with what's important to you.
Thank you, buddy.
That's the least I can do.
Thank you. - You're very welcome.
Beautifully said, Bernard.
Dear friends, as a great philosopher once said:
You don't end with fucking tagliatelle.
You end with a lot of gratitude
to all ten of you
who have turned this adventure into what it has become.
I have been incredibly happy traveling with you.
So thank you very much for that.
Thank you very much also, Senne.
The most amazing mustache in the country.
I suggest we conclude by sounding off on you guys,
to the beautiful Sicili
And to the mole.
and on the mole.
Cheers. - Cheers.
I don't want it to end.
I spent the first few weeks looking forward to each Sunday
and couldn't wait for it to come.
Until last week, suddenly came the realization:
no, after this it's done.
I feel super grateful that I was able to experience it all.
Also very nice to see much this show connects.
We used to watch on Sundays with my family, my parents.
Our mom always cooked for us.
So it brought a lot of good things.
My kids are incredibly proud that I was able to participate in such a cool show.
I suddenly get to pick up my kids in more places,
where usually it was like: No, mom, don't have to.
Now suddenly I get to go get them, everywhere.
I didn't think it would get this big, but everyone recognizes you.
And they call you a Belgian celebrity, but actually
I'm a Spanish celebrity in Flanders. I don't know.
Some people have already gotten down on their knees and done prayer gestures:
Messiah of Gullegem, may I be an apostle?
I had participated in order to work on my boomer image, for my son.
That worked out pretty well until the moment that Mikey Mo showed up.
But he's amazing.
I got a super sweet hug from him just before finals and that was magnificent.
My participation reaffirmed me
that you should do the things that you want to do, and that you should do them now.
I'm still in my yes year, so I'm still letting everything come to me.
Now when I see how far it has already brought me,
not only in The Mole, but also on a personal level,
I'm really glad that I did it.
Senne really did super, super well.
When watching tv I already thought: It's not easy to be the mole.
But when I was here, I really thought:
Amazong one can do that.
You look at him, he's a rascal, a scumbag. It's on his face.
Truly such an Italian rascal. We should have known from the first time we saw him.
But he has such a big heart. He's such a likeable person.
He's super authentic, so you put him right close your heart.
The Mole 2024.
It's been an indescribable experience, just indescribable.
So thank you, everyone. Merci.
Okay, let's go.
And clap.
I'm a real boy.
There's a bee.
Don't like them.
That's rodeo.
I'd like a drink.
It won't be broadcast until March?
At Play4 you guys always exaggerate.
Made it myself.
You're going to work the land here, Thomas?
Terrible human being.
Just a moment, the dog pooped up a battery.
Go.
Phil, that was the first one. - Yes.
Oh, wow.
Oh my God. - That startled me, man.
I don't even know how that works.
Dear fellow candidates,
if I may say one more thing to you.
Sorry for all my cheating.
Sorry for all my sabotages.
Sorry for all the lies.
Sorry for all the money I cost you.
Sorry for everything.
I'm really sorry.
One week ago.
