VAN DER VALK S4E1 (2025)

ASSISTANT EDITOR

Still from Van der Valk S4 E1 'Safe in Amsterdam'. It's a medium shot on Piet van der Valk. He's looking to the left side, brows furrowed and arms crossed. On his cheek is a cut with a bandage on it. Visible on the fore- and background are the backs of two Dutch police officers.
Still from Van Der Valk S4E1 Safe in Amsterdam. We see detective Van der Valk's former flame Kalie, a white woman with reddish brown hair behind a white man with short brown hair and a short beard.
Still from Van der Valk S4E1 Safe in Amsterdam. Over-the-shoulder medium shot on Van der Valk, slightly turned away from the camera. We're outside, there's black vans behind him. He's looking pensively to the upper right corner. Flanked on either side are two more men; a white middle-aged man on his right side (our left) wearing a black cap and a bulletproof vest, a bald, black man on his left (our right) wearing a collared shirt with a vest and a thin coat over it.
Still from VDV S4E1 Safe in Amsterdam. It's an over-the-shoulder medium shot on Bibi Franken, a 60-or-something white woman with shoulder-length ginger, wavy hair. Her arms are crossed and she looks sternly at the person whose shoulder we're looking over.

Van Der Valk ‘Safe in Amsterdam’ is the first episode of the fourth season of the British detective TV show about Detective Piet van der Valk. The series is a loose remake of the original Van der Valk series that ran from 1972 to 1992. Every episode has a different director and crew. For this episode, I was the sole assistant editor.

 

After a whistleblower is murdered, the team must ensure the second whistleblower testifies to take down a criminal empire. Van der Valk is conflicted when he discovers the protection officer is a former flame.
