What's that one called?

- Yellow surgeonfish.

Bo, do you think

I could show these to Ray?

Maria, Peanut, Franois...

Chili, Saturn, Margje.

King Kong, Hannibal, Peanut,

Franois, Chili, Saturn, Margje.

Where are Venus and Raisin?

I'll take their picture next time.

She's very fat.

Margje's having babies.

- Margje?

Margje died a long time ago.

Fish don't live that long.

You never ask me how I'm doing

It seemed...

You're not my sister.

I am your sister, Ray.

I'm your sister.

Why are you always so unhappy?

Are you sad?

Are you in pain?

Maybe a little.

- I'm not always unhappy at all.

How can you tell?

Your mouth is so tight, and turned

down. And if you squint like this...

Sorry, it's inappropriate.

- Inappropriate.

Hold me.

Tell me it'll be alright.

It'll be alright.

Do you know why you're here?

Do you think it's fair that you're here?

- No.

Dina also said it's not fair.

Dina?

- Dina. Rosita's mother.

Hush...

Did she come to see you?

- Once. Then nobody. Then you.

I'm going to try to get you out of here.

CASE EVIDENCE:

no trace of victim's mother

Did you lock yourself out again?

Come on.

No trace of the victim's mother...

Hey, Rosita, have you got

some money for me?

Oh, you've got a john.

- My neighbor.

As long as he pays.

- How much do you need?

Just give me some.

Don't take it all.

- I won't. Get him to pay.

Ray's a friend.

- Sure. As long as he pays.

You can look again.

Working weekends.

That's howl like to see it. Very good.

Aron. Hello, my boy.

Tell me.

Much of the evidence

was circumstantial.

The facts are:
The victim's blood

was on his clothes.

And he had the murder weapon.

The baby's body was never found.

But Dina de Waal, the victim's mother,

was convinced hems innocent.

She mentioned another suspect.

His identity was deleted from the file.

Ray never confessed. Never denied it.

What about the mother?

- Finn's trying to find her.

At the original trial, Ray was defended

by Willem Van Hees.

I'll be. Attorney Van Hees.

That's odd,Van Hees representing

him. Legal aid is not his line.

He's an even bigger

money-grubber than I am.

The best is still to come. Neither Ray

nor Van Hees appealed the verdict.

Well, Van Hees did appeal,

but he suddenly withdrew.

Why would Van Hees do that?

I'm Iris Boelens, a lawyer.

I'm looking for Mr. Van Hees.

A cup of tea, nice and hot.

- Great, thanks.

My husband is coming.

Is Aron doing okay?

- Yes, he's fine.

I'm Iris. I work for Lode Dekker.

Lode. That old scoundrel.

What are you doing?

- A puzzle.

Am I in trouble,

or do you want my advice?

I'd like to have one of your old cases

reopened.

It's about Ray Boelens.

Do you remember the case?

I went through the files...

but a lot of things are missing.

Another suspect is mentioned.

But the name was deleted.

I can't find it.

You appealed the verdict at the time...

but you withdrew the appeal

right away. Why?

You're hurting me.

Mr. Van Hees...

Go away.

- I don't want to upset you...

Go away. Get out.

Mr. Van Hees, I'm...

- God damn it. Get out of here.

Go away.

Go away. You heard my husband.

Just go away.

Easy, dear.

The man fell, that's all. It's alright.

Come on. We're going to the car,

we're finished here.

Fox's head surgeonfish,

Hawaiian surgeonfish, dartfish...

Honey?

What's the matter?

There's a man in the garden.

Where?

There, in the back. Behind the trees.

Stay here.

Drop the case

Who do you think you are?

Aron, put on your coat. We're going.

Thanks a lot.

Here it is.

Look, Mom, books on fish.

Be careful. Let Mom have a look first.

You know what? Sit down here

on the floor, and have a quiet read.

You can see better here, too.

Ray, smile.

You're rather handsome.

Ray, it doesn't matter. Calm down.

Listen to me. It doesn't matter.

Let me go!

Let me go. Stop.

Let me go..you're hurting me.

No, no. Get out of here.

I paid for it, moron.

- Get out.

Anna... Settle down, baby.

Come on, give her to me.

- She won't bite.

Relax, honey.

Look what I've got.

Can you see Mom?

I'll give you a hand, okay?

No need to be afraid.

- Not very clever.

Searching in the dark.

Iris?

It's Iris, isn't it?

Stop this.

Run,Aron.

Run.

- Stop this.

No, come back.

Go on. Mom's coming.

Get your pajamas and a cuddly toy.

We're sleeping somewhere else.

Iris...

Lode, I'm getting ready to leave.

Can I call you back?

There's a problem, though.

Kim de Boer filed charges of rape.

It's a criminal case now. I'll take over.

Why? How can that be?

- I don't know. I don't get it.

Toine says Peter wants you off

the case. I'll visit him, to sort it out.

I'll call you as soon

as We seen him, okay?

You're back.

Why didnt you tell me about him?

'Hi, Mom. Lovely to see you again.

Did you have a nice trip? '

No. Actually, I didn't.

I knew you wouldn't leave Ray alone.

- Why didn't you tell me?

Ray was a very...

quiet, sweet baby.

He wasn't too fond of hugs.

But neither am I.

Until hams 18 months old.

When he started crying,

and never really stepped.

He destroyed everything.

It was like living with a wild animal.

He could be very sweet too.

He made wonderful drawings.

But when I told him

to put away his crayons...

he'd get a terrible tantrum again.

Why am I hearing this

for the first time?

Who's his father?

He came, saw and took off. Especially

when he saw what he'd done.

We're no good at holding on to men.

But I'd never abandon Aron.

I had no choice.

Ray had a little dog.

He adored it so much.

- Go on, throw it.

Go on, do it.

- Or I'll pull down your mom's panties.

I think that's what happened.

He never could lie.

But I knew it couldn't go on.

- You sent him to boarding school.

It was better for him.

- Better for you.

And for me.

And yet, I did all I could.

When he turned 18...

I decorated his at for him,

and got him a job at a bakery.

It didn't help.

Now he's locked up.

Safely.

- You never visited him.

I did try.

I couldn't face him.

- Ray didn't do it.

I'm going to bed.

- Ray is innocent.

He can't lie, you just said so.

And I'm going to find out who did it.

Hello, dear Grandma.

Hello, dear Aron.

Look, We brought you a present.

It's a kind of puzzle.

We're going to sleep somewhere else.

- Nonsense. Come on.

Go and brush your teeth,

and put on your pajamas.

Hannibal, Maria, Peanut, Franois...

Chili, Saturn,Venus, Raisin, Margje.

Do you remember

that we talked about Dina?

Remember?

- Dina. Rosita's mother. Dina.

Can you tell me where I can find her?

- At home?

On the beach.

Dina worked on the beach.

Please come here.

What's the matter?

He's drawing.

Give him a pencil and paper.

Do you know where I can find Dina?

The water must be too cold to swim.

Can I keep this?

No.

I'll get you some paper, and crayons.

But in your room, okay?

Come on, Ray.

- Bye.

I don't give a sh*t about Kim de Boer.

That's Iris' mother.

What does it mean

if I'm not an only child?

Does Toine know about this?
