Don't tell Iris anything about the past.

Is that clear?

What does it change? For me?

For my inheritance? For me?

Can you find out?

Without my parents knowing about it?

I'll check it out, and let you know.

Dina, where are you?

BEACH HOUSES RENTAL

This is the voice-mail of Iris Boelens,

Dekker Attorneys. Leave a message.

This is Lode. Peter asked me to check

something. You won't believe this.

I can't tell you over the phone.

I'm coming to see you right now.

Goddamn it...

I'm coming over to tell you in person.

Hang on.

It could have a big impact on you,

us, the entire office.

So I'm coming over.

A**hole...

We been trying to reach you.

It's about Lode. He's...

He's been in a car crash.

He's unconscious.

They'll keep him like this, hoping

to reduce the swelling on his brain.

Lode, can you hear me?

It's me.

Don't give up, okay?

You've got a visitor.

Hey, you...

- I'm hereto see Benschop.

You can't just go in.

Do you have an appointment?

Certainly not with the child.

Wait a minute. Ma'am...

Okay. Close your eyes,

come to Mommy.

What did you tell Lode?

What did you tell him?

- Five minute break, guys.

What was it?

- I fired you, didn't I?

What did you say?

- Piss off.

Piss off. Piss off.

What did you say?

- I'll call Security. Piss off.

I want to know why he's in a coma.

What?

You can stop. Go upstairs.

Come an, upstairs.

What was that?

- Lode was in a car crash.

He's in a coma, he may never

come out. You talked to him.

What did you tell him?

Come on.

He'd check something for me.

- What?

Nothing.

We shouldn't be seen together

anymore.

Why not?

- Believe me.

Be careful.

Mind your head.

Hey,what are you doing here?

I'm looking for Dina de Waal.

Do you know where she is?

Don't know her.

Are you Dina?

- What do you want from her?

It's about my brother, Ray Boelens.

Dina said hams innocent.

Did I?

That's what Ray says.

- He's lying.

He can't.

Sorry, I can't help you.

- But you have to.

You have to tell me about the murder.

Why do you think he's innocent?

Come with me.

Ray is innocent

because Ray couldn't help it.

That's just the way Rosita was.

She drove men crazy.

She could really get under your skin.

- Why can everyone touch you naked?

And you can't?

She could drive you up the wall.

But that he'd hurt little Anna...

I thought you were different.

- I don't want to be.

Come on, then.

That's... That's my little girl.

Is this what you want?

Sill)'-

Ray is Anna's father.

- Didn't you know?

Ray, come on. This way.

No, I have to go back.

She has to leave.

Easy.

- No, she has to go.

No, she has to go. King Kong,

Hannibal, Peanut... Go away.

What happened?

I'll be gone soon, I promise. But first

I want to tell you We got a child.

You've already seen him.

His name is Aron. He's seven.

Is he just like me?

He's friendly, kind and clever.

He can already read and write

and he's very good with puzzles.

He loves fish.

- Tropical saltwater fish?

Yes. They're his favorite.

Look at this.

Do you have a child as well?

Funny, isn't it?

Nobody's supposed to know.

Nobody's supposed to know.

- Who says so?

I can't talk.

- Says who?

I have to keep quiet.

- Who says so?

Bo, leave.

- Who told you not to talk?

Bo,we have to go. Bo, I have to go.

I have to go.

Who told you to keep quiet?

- I'm taking him back.

Ray, who?

Someone's talked to him.

Threatened him.

The visitors' list.

What time did you get here?

- Twelve.

So it was before twelve.

- Let's see.

What is this? What's she doing here?

- Ray had an irregular visitor today.

And her being here is okay?

- He's been threatened.

I have to report this. This won't do.

Aron, come on.

We're going.

Iris,what are you doing here?

I have to talk to you.

Come in.

I'll be right back.

You had Ray convicted

of those murders.

You got Van Hees

to sabotage the defense.

That's why Ray's locked up.

I know you went to see him today.

He really did commit those murders.

Listen to me.

Iris,you have to let this go.

He's your son.

Ray is your son.

Yes.

Ray is my son.

Your mother was my secretary.

I know, it's a cliche', but she was

and is the love of my life.

But then, I could marry Marthe.

Money, fame, the Benschop name.

- Are you my father too?

No.

Regrettably, I'm not.

Those two weeks a year

your mother takes a trip...

I live for those two weeks.

And this business with Ray...

You have to accept

he's a danger to society.

Which makes your mother and I

very sad.

Where's Anna?

- I buried her.

Where?

You have to go. My wife...

- Where?

You have to stop.

- I have to know where she is.

Where is she?

Let it go.

Let go.

- Where?

Let it rest.

Well?

- She won't stop. She won't stop.

Are you alright? Are you in pain?

- Get me out.

I'm coming. I'm coming.

Mommy's coming.

Mom, he's coming!

Get me out.

- It'll be alright.

It'll be alright, honey.

- Let me out.

It'll be alright, honey.

It'll be alright, honey. Come on.

Come on, now.

Come on, now.

Climb on my back.

Okay, climb on.

You stay here. Whatever happens.

I love you.

Go away.

Why are you doing this?

Bo... Hey, this is Iris...

I'm sorry to call so late,

but I don't know who else to call.

I can't go to the police,

but I do need help.

Could you please pick us up?

Can you hold this?

What is this?

- Drawings. Ray made them for you.

They don't really show anything.

They're scrawls.

Safety belt... Right...

Come on. Sit.

It doesn't fit in here.

- What?

The puzzle.

Thanks, Gerrit.

That has to go there.

- This one?

Yes, with that black one.

This one goes in the corner, there.

And this one has to go there.

That one goes there. There.

This one goes there.

Next to the knife.

A little more that way.

Baby's in pain.

Baby Anna pain.

The baby's in pain.

Mom, baby Anna's in pain.

Come now, Mom. Come now.

Baby Anna pain, baby Anna pain...

Morn, baby Anna pain.

Baby Anna pain.

Rosita...

Rosita, give me the baby.

- No, she's my daughter.

Anna has to get out of here.

I have to borrow your car.

Ray, listen. It'll all be alright.

I'll take her to First Aid. Listen to me.

Calm down. It'll be alright.

Ageeth...

Get out of my house.

Get the hell out.

You're not taking my baby away,

Ageeth...

Get the hell out of here.

Get out of here.

Get out of my house.

Who are you, really?

Who are you, really?

Who are you?

Iris...

You don't want to know.

Calm down.

- Take the baby, Ray.

You killed Rosita and Anna.

Get out of my house.

Calm down. Ray's father is outside,

with money.

You'll never have to work again.

- I don't want your money.

It was an accident.

Really.

Toine...Toine...

An accident. She tried to stab me.

- You killed her, and you blame her?

I didn't kill her.

Toine, it was an accident...

It really was...

Relax, little girl.

It'll be alright...

Be quiet...

You framed your own son for it.

Your own esh and blood.

How could you? How can a mother

do a thing like that?
