Recht Op Recht	comment	Recht op Recht was a Flemish legal drama, which originally ran from 1998 until 2002 on the VRT. The series revolves around Chris Haagdoorn, a female defense attorney with a strong moral conscience, who handles (and usually solves) legal cases with her partner Hugo van Eyck, a former DI of the federal judicial police turned PI.Chris Haagdoorn is one of the attorney's working for Leduc & Partners in Brussels, where she predominantly pleads the law firm's criminal cases. In one of those cases, she represents Hugo van Eyck, an inspector at the judicial police in Brussels, who forged a police report to protect an informant. When the informant is found dead in her bath later on, Hugo is removed from active duty and eventually even accused of ordering her murder. Chris and Hugo work together to clear Hugo's name and prove that her pimp ordered the murder to silence her. However, Hugo's dislike towards his boss has reached a breaking point by the end of the case and Hugo gets (permanently) suspended for punching him in the nose. When Hugo tries to arrange a payment plan for Chris' fee, he gets hired as an administrative employee at the law firm. Hugo's only an administrative employee in name, as he actually performs investigative tasks for the law firm. Together, Hugo and Chris handle a (broad) variety of criminal cases, ranging from theft and vandalism to homocide.At Leduc & Partners, Chris and Hugo work together with Paul-Emile Leduc, their kind-hearted boss and Chris' mentor; GabriÃ«l Nukerke, their amoral and opportunistic fellow attorney; Luc Lievens, the law firm's meek attorney in training and Jessie Vinck, the firm's young and energetic secretary. They furthermore get help from Louise Haagdoorn, Chris' mother and manager/barkeep of a local diner, and Stanny Michel, Hugo's former partner at the judicial police, who occasionally provides information to Hugo. As the series progresses, Luc becomes a certified attorney, while GabriÃ«l is forced to quit after making a (grave) deonthological error and takes over his father's bussiness, when he becomes ill. The series was furthermore well-known for the romantic tension between Chris and Hugo, which was eventually resolved in the series finale.The series was a major hit in Flanders during its original broadcast and became the breakthrough for several of its lead actors. It ran for a total of 45 episodes divided over four seasons, after which it ended rather abruptly. It has seen relatively little exposure outside of Flanders, however, and has been reran only twice on Flemish television since its original run. The series can be watched on Youtube (for now), as well as on EÃ©n.

Recht Op Recht / int_10cdfe4b	comment	Fall Guy: Sven from the episode "Mariska" was set up to become this and eventually even accepted payment to take the blame. John Verlinden from the episode "Lichter dan lucht" was a classic example of this trope, as he was a drunk who signed papers as a "company CEO" in exchange for money. He even stated that he didn't care what he signed, as long as he got payed.

Recht Op Recht / int_128e9efd	comment	Honor Among Thieves: This led to the main source of drama in the episode "Quartier chaud". Within the Quartier Chaud (a suburban ghetto), one of the main rules everyone abides by, is that you don't snitch on your own. When Chris' client, Tommy, discovers that his best friend Axel is robbing (and injuring) people on the streets, he keeps it quiet to uphold the code. This eventually leads to Chris getting robbed, after which she's pushed of an apartment building for putting up a fight. The fall leads to the death of her unborn child and when Tommy hears this, he finally decides to turn his friend into the police, regardless of the consequences.

He subsequently picked and chose the evidence to prove their guilt (while ignoring any elements that could prove their innocence) and constructed everything they said and did as an admission of guilt on their part. He's wrong, obviously, but eventually does see one of his suspects convicted, due to an obvious case of Miscarriage of Justice.

Recht Op Recht / int_1f799027	type	Obstructive Bureaucrat
Recht Op Recht / int_1f799027	comment	Obstructive Bureaucrat: Chris meets several of these throughout the episode "Pentito". The employees she meets at city hall are as helpful as you'd expect them to be, based on this trope. Their standard answer to any inquiry Chris makes for information about her client is "I don't think I can share that information with you, miss." and not even threathening them with a subpoena would change this. She ends up having to go over their heads, only to find an even more obstructive bureaucrat. District attorney Leopold has her own reasons to be this, throughout the episode. She wants Rudy to give her information on a gang of human traffickers he used to work for, even if she has to use bureaucracy to extort him into ratting them out. She even tries to play both sides and negotiates with the human traffickers as well, in order to play them against eachother, with devastating effects. Johan Delbeke, the clerk from immigration in the episode "Illegaal", also fits this trope quite well, as he tends to do dismiss evidence of DÃ©sirÃ© Mageza's existence quite easily, simply becuase it was provided to him by an illegal immigrant. He furthermore doesn't even take the effort to call Chris' when her client gets deported (despite the fact that he knew full well that Chris was working on getting her a visa).

His girlfriend even covers for him during the court case, as she really wants to see Chris' client go to jail. He's eventually caught after Crhis and Hugo eavesdrop on the pair. Michael Nachtegaele from the episode "Nachtvlucht" also fell under this trope, as he was the only man who was never suspected of the murder. Chris and Hugo evetually only find out by chance that he was involved, as he otherwise would have gotten away with it.

And then there was Fonny, who was jacking off to the half-undressed corpses of the first two (female) victims.

Recht Op Recht / int_2d3016e8	comment	Guilty Until Someone Else Is Guilty: Sven from the episode "Mariska" is accused of murder and seen as the prime (and only) suspect by the proscecutor, despite his daughter vouching for him. Hugo, however, is nearly certain Sven is innocent and proves his innocence throughout the episode. Even the FGP, who's handling the case, doesn't believe in Sven's guilt, as shown by Stanny's reaction, but they have to follow the proscecutor's orders nevertheless. Chris' client from the episode "Bankwezen" is eventually treated like this, even though he wasn't involved in the case at all and was merely absent from his work (to get lunch) at the wrong time. Chris' client from the episode "Vuur" is seen as the ideal murder suspect from the start, because he is an arsonist and the victim died in a house fire. While further investigation shows that the fire was indeed arson, Chris eventually proves that the arsonist used a different M.O. than her client would use. The trope is even discussed by Chris and Paul-Emile throughout the case, where Paul-Emile states that the odds are high that Chris' client will be convicted simply because there aren't any other suspects. This happened to Chris' client and his girlfriend in the episode "Pro Deo", as they were accused of murder, simply because they were the only two people the police could place at the scene (through the video of a security camera). The murderer, however, entered and left through the back window. In a rather cruel twist on the trope, finding the guilty party did nothing to exonerate Chris' client, as he wouldn't confess in front of court to what he did (the fact that he had a mental handicap didn't help), while the girlfriend's lawyer (eventually) framed Chris' client (through a false confession) for the murder, in order to let her client go free.

Recht Op Recht / int_2d363f63	comment	Frame-Up: Throughout the episode "Mariska", both the true killer and the proscecutor try to frame Chris' client Sven for a murder he didn't commit. The killer eventually even pays Sven to take the heat. Stanny is framed by a mole at the GP throughout the episode "Vuil". The mole would have gotten away with it, if it wasn't for Hugo (who researched the case) and two gay lovers (who saved Stanny after the mole tried to murder him). The two murders of the episode "Maten" were initially framed as self-defense, when a corrupt military arms dealer threw two Kalashnikovs at two farmers (who catched them in a reflex), after which he shot them in cold blood (Kalashnikov in hand). The plan eventually ends up failing, after it's held to further scrutiny. Chris' client from the episode "Pro Deo" becomes the victim of this, when his girlfriend's lawyer forces her to change her statement right before the closing statements, in order to frame him for the murder. The girlfriend reluctantly complied, because her lawyer told her that she would be sent to jail otherwise, which she wanted to avoid.

He used a (high-risk) experimental procedure (which eventually left her blind) on Chris' client, purely for selfish reasons (a major breakthrough in his career, media attention). Eventually, he does feel remorse for his acts and confesses his actions in court. Doctor van Gogh from the episode "Adel verplicht" was this, as he performed medical tests on homeless teens, merely to see if they were a proper fit for organ harvesting. When he found a suitable subject, he subsequently had him kidnapped by a group of thugs and performed a (botched) operation on him himself.

When the boss subsequently claimed that Luc's client lied about his poor health, the client protested and stated that he had evidence that he was in great health. Upon requesting to see said evidence, the client exposed himself to the (female) judge, who had to suspend court out of bewilderment. Fortunately, she thought the entire situation was hilarious and eventually even ruled in the client's favor. Done by Frank Plaatsnijder, Chris' client of the episode "Jan zonder kleren", to make a statement against a textile company closing their local branch to open a new factory in Indonesia

The victim was clearly murdered, as he was too drunk to pull off suicide. Dibruno, however, kept insisting it was suicide to deter an ongoing investigation into the matter, as he was part of a criminal organization and tried to prevent them from becoming suspects in the murder. This didn't work, however, as Hugo and Dtanny were convinced it was murder and proved it to be as much, by the end of the first part

Later on, one of the friends of Chris' client takes revenge on the elderly lady who called the cops on them, by robbing her and slicing her face with a pocket knife. Happens in the episode "Broers", where George Windey attempts to murder an unarmed burglar (who was actively surrendering to him) by shooting him through the head. The burglar miraculously survives, but still loses his eyesight. He later on tries to take revenge on the burglar's brother in much the same fashion, after the brother threatened him.

When Paul-Emile tries to appeal to the better nature of Chris' client and Godderis (by letting him turn himself in), they both decline. What follows is this exchange: In the episode "Adel verplicht", the investigation into the criminal case of Chris' client (who became the victim of Organ Theft) was led by Laurence, a deputy attorney who's, furthermore, an old friend of Chris. It eventually turns out that she botched the investigation on purpose, to protect a family friend.

In the episode "De chauffeur", after hearing that her attempted murder on her husband's misstress failed, we get this exchange between Linda Defreyne and her husband Geert. The two dead farmers from the episode "Maten" were killed because they walked into a gun smuggling operation and could (possibly) identify the criminals involved. Their murders were subsequently covered up as self-defense against armed militia. Chris nearly got murdered in the episode "Nachtvlucht" for exactly this reason.

She became paralyzed from the waste down after a car crash and subsequently lost her sight during a botched cranial operation. This (and her increasing self-pity) was enough to drive her to suicidal thoughts. She eventually gets over them, when she remembers that she has a daughter to take care off. The killer of the episode "Verloren weekend" felt so guilty about the murder he committed in a fit of rage, that he tried to take his own life by jumping of the battlements of an old castle. The killer of the episode "De chauffeur" took her own life as an ultimate attempt to save her husband's career, which nearly ended up in tatters after she attempts to murders his misstress Bruno Buggenhout from the episode "Maten" hangs himself, when a video tape of him kissing a fellow soldier is about to come out. It doesn't help that he's married with a (young) child. Martin Tijsmans from the episode "Lijk in de kast" allegedly commited suicide by car crash, becuase he felt guilty for duping thousands of clients of his bank (who predominantly aimed their services towards working-class citizens). Ironically, not Martin, but his bussiness associate Penne was guilty of the fraud that caused the bank to go bankrupt, but as Martin conscripted most of the clients, he felt a personal responsibility.

Back when Leduc & Partners was a beginning lawfirm, he handled the legal affairs for a public savings bank, where he (and his associate Tijsmans) unwittingly helped Henri Penne commit an embezzlement fraud. As Paul-Emile was implicated (and wanted to preserve the remaining money the bank still had), he helped Penne get exonerated for the fraud, so he could prevent bankruptcy (returning a fraction of the savings to their owners). However, the guilt that came from purposefully exonerating a fraudster remained for both him and Tijsmans (who took his own life because of it). What also remained was Penne's hold over Paul-Emile (as he could get him arrested for involvement in the fraud, without any risk of proscecution, due to double jeopardy), which led to him blackmailing Leduc & Partners into defending him, after he drugged, raped and maimed an escort.

Recht Op Recht / int_784a71d0	type	Crime of Self-Defense
Recht Op Recht / int_784a71d0	comment	Crime of Self-Defense: This happened to Chris' client in the episode "Dode Rambo". He kills a member of the neighbourhood watch, who was actually trying to break into his home, with a baseball bat and subsequently gets charged with murder, because his wife had a brief affair with the victim. The fact that the man was wielding a knife is ignored, because the knife went missing after the struggle. An interesting case of this is shown in the episode "Geduld", where a murder was concealed as self-defense by the killer and her son. It starts out as an obvious (and airtight) case of self-defense, where a woman killed her husband with a hammer, after he knocked out her son with a vase and started choking her. But as the trial proceeds, more and more discrepancies start to show up: the husband was so drunk, that he was barely capable of standing up straight and the motive for his abuse (a demand for sex) seemed unlikely, as he couldn't get it up due to the booze. When Hugo discovers that the vase broke after the killer bludgeoned her husband to death, Chris demands a straight answer from her client (who confesses to murder) and ends up with a moral dilemma. Either she lies for her client and gets her exonerated for murder or she tells the truth and sends an (overly) abused woman to jail. She ends up going with the former. The episode "Broers" had another case where someone falsely called on self-defense. at the start of the episode, Chris' client gets caught during a burglary and surrenders to the resident, who has a gun. The resident subsequently shoots him in the side of his head (blinding him for life), relying on a self-defense plea (and a wily lawyer) to get exonerated. This eventually fails after he tries to kill the burglars brother in cold blood.

Recht Op Recht / int_78fde6df	type	Removing the Rival
Recht Op Recht / int_78fde6df	comment	Removing the Rival: This was the actual motive for the murder of Hugo's informant in the episode "Geschorst". Her killer was one of her colleagues, who was jealous that the victim took her position at the club. She, therefore, ratted her out to her pimp and subsequently murdered her for him. In the episode "De chauffeur", the episode's culprit decides to end her life to protect her husband's career, but delivers one (metaphorical) parting shot to take out his biggest (political) competitor at the same time. This was Steffie's motive to start a bullying campaign against one of her colleagues, Lydia. She needed Lydia to go on early retirement, so she could get her job at the school, and organized a bullying and Gaslighting campaign to have her deemed unfit to work (and drive her crazy in the process). She, furthermore, couldn't wait for Lydia to retire on her own accord, as her job was on the line, due to the declining number of students at the school.

Recht Op Recht / int_80a247a9	comment	Breather Episode: Season two had the episode "Prima Donna", which was occasionally quite humoristic and light-hearted, despite the Bitter Sweet Ending (complete with Soundtrack Dissonance). It was, however, one of the only episodes of the season that was somewhat light-heartednote In a season featuring the car bombing of one of Chris' clients, a pedophilic priest, a sociopathic con man, a pyromaniac who uses cats as an ignition source and a deadly stalker with a crush, who kidnaps Chris as well and was set in between "De Rietdekkers", where GabriÃ«l gets suspended as a lawyer, and "Vuil", where Stanny nearly gets murdered by a Detective Mole (who, in turn, nearly provokes Hugo into murdering him). Season three had two of these, both somewhere near one of the two-parters from the season. The first one is "Jan zonder kleren", which was somewhat light-hearted, despite the Bitter Sweet Ending. This episode came between the rather harsh (and personal) first three episodes, which featured a Miscarriage of Justice, a confrontation with the Albanian maffia and the death of a young girl respectively, and the (unoffical) two-parter Haat / Liefde, which features an extremist attack (and kidnapping), as well as the death of district attorney Leopold. The second one is "W.I.L.", an episode about Hugo infiltrating a (hippie) cult to convince the (wealthy) wife of Chris' client to return home. This episode comes before "Quartier chaud", where Chris loses her baby after being pushed down a building and the two-parter "De jacht", about a Hannibal Lecter-esque serial killer, who strikes from the (heavily guarded) institution he's locked away at. Despite the bullying and gaslighting taking place in the episode, "Schoolslag" was this in season four, as it wasn't merely the only episode not to feature a murder or other horrible crime, but it was furthermore one of the few episodes of the season, which didn't end with a downer ending. In addition, it fell in between the episode "Lijk in de kast", which contained one of the show's most sadistic villains, and the final four episodes, which featured the near-murder of Chris ("Nachtvlucht"), a blatant case of Miscarriage of Justice which made Chris doubt her career choices ("Pro Deo") and the series finale (the two-parter "Onderwereld / Bovenwereld"), which got both Chris and Hugo nearly killed.

This also happened to Chris' client from the episode "Maten", who's immediately labeled a homocidal maniac by the press without any evidence (he was a soldier who shot two (alleged) militia members carrying Kalashnikovs).

Furthermore, when they were looking for character witnesses, they had to refuse people from applying, as there was more than a busload of people who wanted to state in court how much of a bastard the guy was. It obviously didn't help that the guy was a renowned wife beater, who spent more time in strip clubs than at home and who was drunk almost every day. The victim of the episode "Pro Deo" was this as well, as he promised his daughter's fiancÃ© (who had a mental handicap) that he could marry his daughter if he saved 1 million Belgian francs (25000 â‚¬), only to pocket the money and come back on his word (stating that he meant 1 million â‚¬). The fiancÃ© wasn't pleased and murdered the man.

Recht Op Recht / int_8ee710e7	comment	Better Manhandle the Murder Weapon: Happens in the episode "Verloren weekend", when the police finds the murder weapon because the son of Chris' client draws attention to it by trying to hide it, putting his fingerprints on it in the process. Appears to be subverted near the end of the episode, as the son eventually turns out to be the killer. While he doesn't handle the murder weapon (as it's long gone), Chris' client from the episode "Pro Deo" manhandles the victim's corpse instead (while staunching the blood and checking for a pulse), which makes him the prime suspect for the murder. He even gets convicted because of it.

This is most clearly shown by his reluctant attitude in his investigation of "De keizer", a mysterious and anonymous maffia kingpin (who happens to be his patron).

Recht Op Recht / int_ddeaea82	comment	Miscarriage of Justice: Steven Daelman, Chris' client from the episode "Een goed verhaal", is detained for complicity to unspecified criminal acts because he wouldn't tell the name of his source, despite the case against him being incredibly meager. The fact that he was sentenced to this simply because he did his job (he was a journalist) is what makes it this trope, as well as the fact that he was (essentially) falsely sentenced on the basis of little to no evidence. Koen Janssen from the episode "Pro Deo" was wrongfully convicted of murdering a man in a gas station bathroom, even after Chris showed that he most likely wasn't the killer (as the killer was right-handed, while Koen was left-handed). He was furthermore convicted solely on circumstantial evidence and motive (as they could prove that he stole the 25000 â‚¬ in cash the victim had on him). Moreover, Chris and Hugo find the actual culprit (the mentally handicapped fiancÃ© of the victim's daughter), but can't manage to convince anyone that he's the killer (predominantly because of his handicap). Chris spends the next couple of episodes trying to prove his innocence (to no avail, however).

On drugs, she can even pretend that she an ordinary teen, while she's a bit of a mess without them.

When he couldn't find him, he went for the next best thing and tried to find a female version of him. When that didn't work, he started killing women and collecting their body parts to create the perfect woman, Frankenstein-style.

Recht Op Recht / int_f8c08650	type	Motive = Conclusive Evidence
Recht Op Recht / int_f8c08650	comment	Motive = Conclusive Evidence: Several of Chris' clients are faced with this. Sven from the episode "Mariska" was accused of murder without a single piece of incriminating evidence against him, becuase he had the best motive of all the suspects Chris' client, Herman Baetens, from the episode "Bankwezen" was accused of being the inside man for the robbery of the bank he worked at. Not a single piece of (non-circumstantial) evidence was provided by the district attorney. Chris even discussed this while pleading for her client in court. Chris' client of the episode "Pro Deo" also became the victim of this, as everyone (even the judge and the jury) were more focusses on the motive Chris' client had for the murder (the theft of the victim's money), than on actual evidence Chris provided. This continued even after Chris provided an alternative suspect (who had, in fact, murdered the victim), simply because they believed that Chris' client had too much of a motive not to be the killer.

DaniÃ«l Huysmans from the episode "De jacht" started murdering people after kissing a boy, who turned out to be his twin brother. He even states that it was this act (and his rejection towards his twin afterwards) which drove him over the edge. His twin brother didn't fair much better and became a serial killer as well, in order to get closer to DaniÃ«l.

Recht Op Recht / int_fc780c2c	comment	The Madness Place: Chris' client from the episode "Lichter dan lucht", Jan Pieter de Leeuw, had bipolar disorder and was suffering a manic episode when he decided to start swindling people. This caused his behaviour to become more extravert and erratic as the episode progressed. The peak of his manic episode occured near the end of the episode, when he came with the idea to buy a luxurious restaurant with Chris and her then-boyfriend Wout. He subsequently tried to convince Chris by rambling on about the restaurant, whilst trying to force himself onto her (only to stop out of embarrassment before he went to far). When Chris eventually figured out Jan Pieter was manic and confronted him with it at the golf club, it ended in a (one-sided) shouting match, where he claimed that he would one day buy the golf club and rule there as a king.

The fact that his opponent was a MegaCorp, who wanted to shift jobs to third-world countries to save money, made his actions all the more understandable.

Chris' client of the episode, Pierre, gets cheated on and humiliated by his wife and (reluctantly) asks Chris for help (not to take revenge, mind you, but to reconcile). However, despite the humiliations Pierre undergoes, he can't seem separate from his wife, let alone bear her ill will (much to Chris' incomprehension). It's only after he loses his job and has to cross a (heartbreaking) threshold (kill the parakeet that was like a child to him), that he finally stands up against his wife and her lover (which ends with him maiming or killing the lover).
