Hendrik, this is Iris Boelens.

Sorry, we're going to court anyway.

My client saw dangerous substances

on the truck.

And Electric Bio also processes

offal and chemical waste.

Any judge would close the plant.

You'd have to pay your grants back...

Fish face, palette surgeonfish,

yellow tang, sperm whale...

Life guard, life guard...

I guess I'll hear from you, okay?

Dartfish...

Aron...

- Take it easy.

Come to mommy. What happened?

He wouldn't come up.

Hey, sweetheart...

Man, oh man,what's the matter?

You have to come up,you know.

King Kong, Hannibal, Maria, Peanut,

Franois, Chili, Saturn, Raisin, Margje.

DAYLIGH Ageeth Boelens.

- Mom, it's me.

Is he doing a little better?

- Just a moment. Aron...

Hi, Mom.

- How are you? What are you doing?

I'm on the phone with you.

Is it nice at Grandma's?

- I'm going back to my book. Bye.

Okay... Bye.

We're very glad you're all here

to celebrate this day with us.

75 years ago, Benschop Holding

began as a simple family business.

A lot has changed since then.

We can now say that Benschop,

partly thanks to my husband's efforts...

has changed from an insolvent firm

into a multi-billion euro company.

The name of Benschop

has acquired a reputation.

It's a name that guarantees quality.

A name you can trust,

and that commands respect.

Iris, Toine has a case for you.

- Yes. It's just a little sensitive.

You will handle it quickly,

efficiently, and quietly.

I don't want anything in the papers.

I won't let my son's filthy hobbies...

destroy everything wave worked for.

It'll be fine, Marthe.

This is our problem at work.

Kim de Boer, a natural.

You knew that child porn is illegal?

- It's all fake.

The piss is just apple juice.

This girl...

-This young woman,yes...

She's 17. It's against the law

to film minors for porn purposes.

She gave me a copy of a passport.

It said she's 21.

Oh, that's nice.

I just can't remember where I put it.

Her p*ssy's unmistakably adult,

don't you think?

Can I advise you to keep

that argument to yourself?

Sorry, I have to take this. Iris Boelens.

It's happened again.

You have to come now.

I need half an hour...

- Not later, now. Do you hear me?

Okay, I'll arrange something.

I have to go. An emergency.

Why did they send a junior?

- Your father means well.

Are you sure?

- He trusts me.

You should too, Mr. Benschop.

- Call me Peter.

Just find that copy of her passport.

I'll call you.

I have the right to refuse a pupil

who endangers others.

He pushed Loes

through the glass door.

I can't watch him all the time.

I've got 30 pupils.

Did you have him tested?

Nowadays, all kids are autistic or

ADHD. I don't want that label for Aron.

I can't let this go unpunished, but I'm

willing to give him another chance.

Keep him home for a week.

Take him to a paedologist.

After that, I'll give it another try

with him.

My mother's going on holiday.

Can we do it next week?

No.

Come on. We'll talk about it at home.

- No.

Aron...

- That's the boy.

I want to go to Grandma's.

Hi, Grandma.

- Hello, sweetheart.

Why are you here?

- To say hello.

Just to say hello?

- Aron's been expelled for a week.

I called the nanny service.

- I'm leaving.

They say no when they hear it's Aron.

I have to defend Peter Benschop.

The Benschops

can fend for themselves.

What did Aron do?

- He threw girl through a glass door.

It's getting worse.

What happened exactly?

- She took off her socks.

Well, that is inappropriate.

Be careful with the tea near him.

Fish sometimes eat their kids.

- So do moms, sometimes.

Mom, please.

Please, can't you babysit for me?

All year long, I'm always there

for you and your son...

...Except for these two weeks...

You won't take them away from me.

Can we stay here, then?

The aquarium calms him down.

I could get some work done.

I'll fix up the spare room.

Palette surgeonfish, yellow tang,

dartfish, cows head surgeonfish...

Aron feeds the fish. You overdo it.

My fish guy will come by

to check the water.

If there's a problem,

his number is on the fridge.

Goodbye, dear Aron.

Goodbye, dear Grandma.

Good.

They want me to have Aron

psychologically tested.

You won't have him committed,

will you?

No, of course not.

Put a foulard on the couch,

so it won't get dirty.

What's the matter?

There's something wrong

with the cows head surgeonfish.

Calm down.

This is Iris Boelens,

Ageeth Boelens' daughter.

There's something wrong with a fish.

Pietvan de Akker.

I remember you

from when you were a little girl.

The dead fish is back there.

- Give me a hand.

I'll have a look.

Cow's head surgeonfish pain.

Cow's head surgeonfish pain.

Cow's head surgeonfish pain.

Cow's head surgeonfish pain.

He's so much like your brother.

Let's see if it's the water

or the fish itself.

I don't have a brother.

Cow's head surgeonfish...

Don't touch him.

Cow's head surgeonfish...

Don't touch him.

I don't have a brother, you know.

Aron, please.

Leave the gentleman alone.

Quiet. Quiet.

Be quiet for a minute.

Be quiet for a minute.

Look at Mommy.

Have you calmed down now

Have you calmed down?

Have a nice lie-down.

Have a nice lie-down.

I'll be right back.

Where would this brother be?

- I'm not the one who should tell you.

Why not?

Where would my brother he?

I'll call when the fish

has been examined.

Hi Mom, it's me.

Is everything okay?

No, it's not. One of the fish has died.

I'm sorry.

Mom, the fish guy says

We got a brother.

Mom, do I have a brother?

Iris, stop it.

Do I have a brother?

- No,you don't.

Mom, do I have a brother?

Dearest Mother.

Thanks for your letter. I'm fine.

Yesterday, I was moved...

to another cell.

It's a few steps bigger, the windows

larger, all my stuff is in its place.

I'd like it if you came to see me.

How are the fish?

Ray Boelens.

PRIZE WINNERS BEST AQUARIUM

Horror neighbor Ray B. keeps silent

This is the voice-mail of Ageeth

Boelens. Leave a message...

Finn here.

- Can you do some research?

I want to know who Ray Boelens'

lawyer was. Murder, 1982.

I'll check it out.

Do you have an appointment?

- Iris Boelens to see Ray Boelens.

The teacher will be angry if I'm late.

- You're not going to school.

All kids go to school.

I don't understand why I can't.

You have to stay with me.

I can't help it.

Okay, Sam Dijksman. Thank you, Finn.

Could you fill this out for me? Thanks.

Don't stare at the man.

- Which office did you work for?

Sam Dijksman.

You're not from Sam Dijksman's office.

No, that's true.

- A journalist?

I am a lawyer, though.

Mrs. Boelens?

I'm his sister. I think.

As you're a relative, we have to check

if you have a criminal record.

How is he?

Ray's not doing well.

We can help some people here in

the institution, others...
