Elsie has only one thing on her mind: making a deal. Pepijn sends another text message to Couwenberg seemingly finalizing Willem's death, but things don't turn out as expected.
Pepijn tries to interest the PPS to give him another chance to get the evidence. Björn is heartbroken over Wendy. Couwenberg wonders who could have betrayed him. Iris takes Menno home from the hospital.
Photos of Willem arrive. The family is upset, but Iris examines them more closely. Pepijn begins to question his actions. Raymi thinks he may have discovered the story behind the whistle-blower.
Another video of Willem, detailing how to make the ransom payment, arrives. The police think that Couwenberg is behind it even though he comes up with the money. The lead officer delivers the money--and Willem should be free in 48 hours.
In a bid to explain himself, Couwenberg drives Elsie to the kidnap site, but implores her to keep quiet until the Royackers' trial is finally over. But can he trust his own daughter?
Pepijn confronts Iris about the affair. She promises to break it off with Willem. Pepijn tells his boss about what he discovered but wants to stay on investigating the case against Couwenberg.
