But that dream bothered Nebuchadnezzar.
So he summoned all the fortune tellers and wizards.
One threw rotten eggs on the floor and in the pattern...
a wild beast that ripped its victims to shreds.
And he said: 'Oh great king...
your dream means that you are a lion, and they're terrified of your power.
That's why, in your eyes, your greatness seems to shrivel up.
Really, Dad, keep pulling that leg... - Leg?
I swear on my brother's grave that this is the truth.
You don't have a brother.
Go on, Bauke. - Alright.
Back to the dream, then. The wizards were afraid to tell the truth.
Because if Nebuchadnezzar didn't like the news, he'd chop your head off.
It's only a story, Sniff.
Girlie, girlie...
Hey, you guys. Let me go.
Mama. Mama.
It is your golden head, your silver breast and it all rests on your lack of faith.
The punishment for your arrogant behavior...
is that even the tiniest stone will be enough to knock you down.
Everyone in the palace held their breath. How would the king react?
would he destroy Daniel with one blow?
Just like he did the wizards and fortune tellers...
who conjured their truths from toads and mud?
You, you...
Vacation time.
I can finally go to the shack. - Is it still there?
who else but me would know? - Another braggart, maybe?
Mirjam, we need tools. we're taking the raft to the shack.
I see. They're on vacation, while we work.
work?
You?
Madam, you were enjoying this. what's the rush?
No offense, Mister... - Officer.
Excuse me? - Not Mister: Officer.
Mister Officer? - No, just officer.
Officer Bantvink.
I don't mean to contradict you, but you were driving quite fast yourself.
You even overtook me.
Madam, I will let you go this time.
I'm really very happy to hear that, officer.
watch the speed limit, will you?
what a grouch.
Yes, he's the new chief of police. Bantvink.
He has to prove himself.
I'm new here too. I'm Maeve, I work for the council.
I'm Mirjam. - I'm Tom and that's Sniff.
Hey, Sniff. Hello.
Do you want a lift into town? - No, we're going to the swamp.
Alright, if you like.
OK, bye. - Bye.
Bye.
Yes, doggie. Good doggie.
Get help. Be a good boy and get help.
Go. Help, get help.
Hey, Sniff.
Let's get going.
I think he wants us to follow him.
Do you want us to come, Sniff?
what happened?
Mr Grevendonck.
Sniff, go to the farm and get help. Go on.
what happened? - A ghostly apparition...
No one will believe me.
My rifle... He took my rifle.
Don't talk.
Maybe it was a poacher. - No.
No, it wasn't a poacher.
what is it, Sniff?
what is it, boy?
I told you: They're on vacation, while we work.
No, something's wrong.
what?
He wants us to follow him. - I'll get the wagon.
Something might've happened.
Hey, Sniff.
what happened? - My leg, my leg...
The wagon is by the road.
who found him? - Sniff did.
He ran after Maeve. - Maeve?
Pretty girl. Served under Queen wilhelmina during the war.
She's the new council secretary. - Bauke.
He's back. - who is back?
I couldn't see his face, but he's back.
who is back?
Flying Volckert is back.
Of course he is, Grevendonck. Of course.
Stay away from the swamp for a while. - Poachers would have a field day.
I'll put on a splint, so you can use a cane, and I'll take you home.
I still can't believe what I saw.
The man disappeared in the swamp, but everyone knows you can't walk in it.
It's haunted. - Ghosts, Grevendonck?
Ghosts don't exist.
The swamp has been notorious for hundreds of years.
In the old days you could only get there by a path connecting two towns.
People who lost their way in the darkness and the mist...
were lost forever.
But there was another danger in that wilderness:
A merciless robber...
who robbed travelers and murdered them.
You're scaring the children. - But it's the truth.
You're exaggerating. - I wouldn't dare.
But is it really true? - Of course it isn't.
So who was it? - They called him Flying Volckert...
because he could move fast across the swamp.
Even over the most dangerous spots of the swamp. He would not sink.
How did it stop? - They called out the army.
But that didn't help, so they decided to torch everything.
It was like a big sea of flames.
Then the people surrounding the swamp saw him rise up out of the flames.
And then? - Yes, go on.
Then... he was as black as coal, but there wasn't a scratch on him.
It's only a legend.
Legend or not, the fact is that the soldiers made an opening...
and there was a scorching heat in that opening. It was unbearable.
And through that opening, he managed to escape.
The man they called the Flying Volckert.
I don't want you two going to the swamp.
Not because of the story, but because it's dangerous.
what about the shack on willow Island? - No, it's off limits.
They're not in any danger there. - I agree.
So are we allowed?
Ready. Are you coming? - Jeltje doesn't want us to.
I just want to check out the shack. - Yeah, right.
But who has to bail you out again?
Chicken. - I respect Jeltje's wishes.
You're scared, admit it.
Go on your own.
Are you sure?
what if I said that you were the bravest girl in the world?
I beg your pardon? I didn't catch that.
Mirjam weisman is the bravest girl in the whole wide world.
well, are you coming to get me or what?
You all heard it too, right?
It was Flying Volckert. - Do you believe in ghosts?
Did you see what I saw? - No, and I'm glad I didn't.
He's back, isn't he? - Yes, he's back.
what is it, boy?
Something's up, or Sniff wouldn't bark.
what is it, boy? what's up?
what do you see?
what is it?
Tom? where are...
Not funny.
It's only a duck, you big hero.
Here, take a look at the shack.
Is that the work of a pro, or what? - Yes, I can tell.
will you look at those boards?
There's a lot of repairing to do, pro.
OK, come on. Get to work.
Here, let me do that. You don't know what you're doing.
I'll show you how it's done.
Let's head back. - I'll just tighten these rings.
But there's a thunderstorm coming.
It's just a few drops... - No way. Plenty of drops.
I'll take a look. Sniff.
Nice view from here. - No thunderstorm?
well?
we better look for shelter. - Yes, good idea.
Yes, you too?
It's like a real house, isn't it?
Do you still dream about your home?
Sometimes.
It's been four years since I last saw my mom and dad.
And you?
If only I could've killed those Krauts. - Vengeance solves nothing.
And you're nuts for thinking your parents are still alive.
I'm entitled to have hope.
I'm eh...
Lightning must have struck.
Something may have caught fire. I'll check it out.
Mirjam, Harmsen's farm is on fire.
Come, Sniff.
Tom, wait up.
Farmer Harmsen.
what happened?
My wife, where's my wife?
Don't go.
Sniff, what happened?
Tom, can you hear me?
Be still.
Tom, can you hear me?
He's back.
You inhaled a lot of smoke, young man. - You were very brave.
where are farmer Harmsen and his wife?
His wife was not at home, and you saved farmer Harmsen's life.
Tom, what did you really see?
I saw...
what did you see? - Can you do this later?
A lot of money was stolen from Mr Harmsen. I need information.
No, officer. He really needs to rest.
You're right.
I'll need his statement soon though. He could be an important witness
Madam.
Is this really necessary? - Yes.
You can't go to the police station with burnt hair.
I'll go with you.
There's a meeting at the town council. Everyone is in a panic.
Yes, and Tom is our hero. Right, Tom?
Don't exaggerate. You helped as well.
Thanks to all of you, Harmsen survived the ordeal.
And Sniff. He's the real hero, aren't you, boy?
Yes, that's right. - Yes.
I think you look presentable now. - Presentable?
I probably look like a scarecrow. - Yes, well...
maybe you can scare Flying Volckert.
Come on, let's go.
And how do you explain the disappearance of those children?
That was so long ago. - He is back, I am convinced of it.
Respect authority.
I'll see you two later. - No, Sniff. You can't come.
Stay. - we'll be right back.
Before the rain I saw someone walking to the farm.
Farm.
Someone? who was it?
I couldn't get a good look, it was a shadowy figure.
with a black cape, right? - Something like that.
Did you get a look at his face?
No, he had a hood in front of his face.
what kind of hood? Big? was it a small hood?
I'm not sure. He was pretty scary, though.
Actually, who says it's a he?
Yes, good point. Perhaps...
Perhaps it was a woman.
women don't walk that way. - How did he walk?
women take much smaller steps. - Nonsense. I walk like that often.
Ridiculous. You never walk like that.
I do too. when I'm in a hurry, or go to school.
Do you know how you walk? Like this.
where do you get that idea? - That's fine, thank you.
I think you're a big hero. Maybe you should join the force.
And become like you?
That will take years of experience.
So long.
...experience.
I can't sleep at night...
People.
will you please settle down?
Evil forces have taken possession of our town.
The devil. Satan is among us.
In the shape of Flying Volckert.
Satan?
Satan? You are taking this too far, Grevendonck.
Only because you weren't able to catch him.
You're the one with the tall stories. - Stories, yes.
I don't go around causing a panic. - Are you calling me a liar?
Those are your own words.
Gentlemen, let's not lose our heads.
All I wanted to say... - He struck again.
At the cemetery. Flying Volckert.
People.
You have a strange walk. - I walk like this often.
Flying Volckert is a man.
Right. So women can't glide across a swamp?
we can only glide across a dance floor.
One, two, three. One, two, three.
One, two, three...
why don't we try to solve this?
Take the raft into the swamp, you mean?
You don't have to come if you're scared.
Yes, but someone needs to keep an eye on you.
I'll make the supreme sacrifice, otherwise nothing will come of it.
She talks too much, right, Sniff?
Stand up and receive the vengeance?
I knew it. I knew it.
Flying Volckert.
Come on, people.
Please, people.
There's nothing to see. Go on home.
when will you do something about it?
There he is. Come on, let's get him.
Fiebe? - Fooled you.
Oh no.
Someone broke the raft. I have to fix it again.
what is it?
This is my first and last warning:
woe is he who dares venture in the swamp again, F.V.
Flying Volckert.
Looks like blood.
It's probably a practical joke by the kids in town.
Or not.
we better go home.
Coming?
Sniff, come.
But in the cemetery? It's getting stranger by the minute.
Stand up and receive the vengeance.
Grevendonck claims it's the devil, because we live godless lives.
And you believe it? - It's superstition.
I found this on the raft.
I've had enough. And you two will stay here.
Yes, but we... - No buts.
Careful, you sink right there.
That's sad. - Bauke?
They're going for our children as well this time.
Tjerk...
what?
I hear something.
Like what? - There.
Piet, you go on. I have to take a leak.
So what did you hear? - Something.
what happened?
Can you stand up? - Yes, it's not too bad.
It's only a superficial wound. Has anyone seen my cap?
Attacked by that monster. And you still think I'm causing a panic?
You need another stick to knock some sense in your brains.
That's enough for today. - we're not afraid, we'll go on.
Let's do it then.
Hammer the nail's head in the board first.
It keeps the wood from splitting. OK? - Thanks for the tip.
There's something on the cross. what is it? Your eyes are good.
It looks like a hat or a cap or something.
Shall I come with you?
Nobody knows where I hide the key, but I trust you.
No, Sniff. No.
You stay here. You can't come up there.
A policeman's cap, unbelievable.
It must be Bantvink's.
But how did it get up there? That's the question.
Flying Volckert.
Mark my words.
Come on, boy.
Sniff, come here.
Haaksma. I mean, captain Brandenburg.
You know my resistance name better than my real name, don't you.
we went through a lot together, didn't we? with Sniff too.
we couldn't have done it without you. - Those were exciting times.
Glad they're over.
where are you staying? - Here in town.
Stay with us. we have plenty of room. - we'll see about that.
Tom, listen. Promise me one thing: Don't tell everybody I'm here, OK?
But so much has happened. A policeman was shot...
and his cap was on the tower. - I know.
Here, take a look at the tower.
Yes, but how did the cap get up there? - Look.
See the lighting rod along the wall? Follow it to the top.
Yes, I see it.
A limber guy can easily climb up it. See the slate hooks on the roof?
A few next to the lighting rod are broken. - Exactly.
I sneaked up there myself and guess what I found.
Here.
Stuck on a nail.
So you think someone climbed up there? - A limber man, yes.
Just like you.
Maybe Sniff can help. Together we can find the crook.
Sorry, but I have to do this with Sniff. It's too dangerous.
And I don't want trouble with the home front. Alright?
Art classes?
She's a baroness, I think.
Didn't I see you in town this afternoon?
Maeve van Veen. - This is captain Brandenburg.
He was in the resistance, he helps... - Boys with vivid imaginations. Right?
So you're here to save us from this mystery?
Your secret is safe with me, so if you need any help...
well, that's very good to know. Right.
I think I should get going. Have a good day.
Sniff, come along.
Hey, why did you bring binoculars?
Maybe we can see captain Brandenburg.
Speaking of captain Brandenburg, why didn't you bring him to the house?
I would've liked to see him.
You didn't want to come. He's snooping around with Sniff.
And you weren't allowed to go.
I have to cover his back. we agreed on that.
I'm sure you can cover him with your huge back.
Ready? Last one at the church is a rotten egg.
Girls.
Search, Sniff.
Good boy.
Search.
Good boy. well done.
we have to go on the water. First we need a boat.
Let's go.
How did you know where the key was? - From Gerrit. I can go up anytime.
Really? - Sort of. Come on.
It's that way.
what a view.
Look. That's willow Island.
See anything?
Yes, it's the captain and Sniff. In a boat.
Here, look.
well?
Go back.
I don't want you here.
what's going on? - They're being shot at.
Lay low.
what do we do? - To the raft. Hurry.
Jump. Come on.
Sniff, get away.
There's the boat. - I don't see them.
They must be behind the island. Let's go.
Hurry up. Come on.
Let's go. Hurry.
Sniff, stay low. Lay low, Sniff.
If he wanted to kill us, we'd be dead by now.
He didn't want us to reach willow Island.
Come on, let's go back to Vredehoeve.
Hurry. Keep going.
Paddle with your feet, Mirjam.
Faster, faster.
Come on.
You think they're hurt? - I don't think so.
He's not easy to catch.
what is this?
A kayak. Indians and Eskimos use them. - There aren't any around here.
Sniff. - Captain Brandenburg.
Did you hear anything?
No, nothing.
Are you coming?
Could it be a willow cutter? - It's not the season for it.
we'll never get out.
well, do they fit you?
Sniff seems to think so.
Any idea who this Flying Volckert is?
But it's someone who knows the area.
Someone from around here? - I think so.
The mayor wants reinforcements... - How are you?
You here? what a surprise.
where are Tom and Mirjam? - I saw them earlier.
Oh boy, I can't believe it: Haaksma.
Brandenburg, of course. Captain, or is it colonel now?
Bauke, where are Tom and Mirjam? - well, they're no longer in town.
why? Aren't they here?
Tom promised not to get involved. Not yet.
And when Tom promises that...
Come on, let's go find them. Come along.
I hope they're alright.
Try the bench.
It's no use. I turned them too tight. How dumb.
Yes, come on. You can do it. Try again.
Come on.
Again. Come on.
Turned too tight, you said? - Let's get out of here fast.
where's the raft? And the kayak?
Is this the right place? - Yes, of course it is.
Now what?
we swim. - No, don't.
The undercurrent is far too strong.
And I don't want to stay here by myself.
where's your master, Sniff? where is he?
Search.
Find your master.
Sniff, stay.
That won't work, Sniff. It's a swamp.
Out of the water, Sniff. Come here.
we can't go on.
Tom and Mirjam, where could you be?
where are you?
I've looked everywhere. Not a trace.
Over here.
It's no use. They can't hear us.
Flying Volckert.
Very good, Sniff. well done, boy.
Good job, good job.
Is this your doing?
It didn't just drop in front of you.
Mayor, it must be some mistake. It's Flying Volckert. Look.
And Bantvink? - Doing rounds.
He should be here. Keep those people away.
There's nothing to see. Go home.
we want information. - Our children are in danger.
Help me out, Sniff.
Good boy.
well done, boy. Good boy.
A bullet hole.
A bullet hole. what happened here?
Tom usually keeps his raft over there, about 4 miles from here.
with the current, it must have taken him two to three hours.
Come on, Sniff. Let's go.
This looks familiar.
Luckily, there were still matches. - It will make a great smoke signal.
Let's hope someone sees it.
willow Island.
Of course.
we're on our way.
This one is dry too.
So is this one.
I hear something.
Move over.
I saw his rifle.
Hey, guys. It's only me.
I found it in the reeds. I suspect it's Grevendonck's.
what's the story with the kayak? - They're rare in these parts.
Usually only in Alaska or Canada, not around here. It's very odd.
Look, there he is. Get over there and we'll grab him.
what's that? A body.
He murdered somebody.
It's only a tree trunk.
Sniff, get him. - Go on, Tom: Jump.
Turn around. Now.
How dare you sic your dog on me.
Sorry, reverend. we thought you were someone else.
You should have taken a better look first.
Sniff is used to the preacher.
You...
I'll get you.
It is the wrath of the dead. - The dead don't steal money.
And you think this will help?
we were all there: Gerrit, and you were too.
He started it. - Nonsense.
Knock it off, you two.
Penance: That is the only thing that can save us.
who lost everything here? A fire, a robbery...
I'm on the list to become an alderman. I want it to stop. Now.
The nice way or the hard way.
Grevendonck.
Open up.
who is it?
Can you see anything? - Nothing at all. Turn off the light.
It's Brandenburg.
what do I do now? - Let him in.
we have to watch Grevendonck, I tell you.
He's going berserk over this Flying Volckert.
Good evening, gentlemen. My name is Brandenburg.
Harmsen. Greetings. - Gerrit.
I know you, you're the sexton, right?
I thought so.
I was painting a dazzling sunset in the swamp...
when I came across this.
Bauke told me it's yours. - Bauke?
I'm staying at Vredehoeve.
There are no bullets in it. It was fired.
Shall we continue?
Yes, we have to go on.
I'm sorry, I'm interrupting. - we were playing Spades.
Once a week we... - Yes.
By the way...
don't you need four to play Spades?
Can you play it with three people? - we were playing Hearts this round.
well, enjoy yourselves.
with Hearts, that is.
we will.
Captain. - At last.
It's a bit early for a date. - I need to ask you something.
Not a proposal, I hope.
Since you're the council secretary... - So it's not a personal question?
Excuse me? - I've never gone out with a captain.
I'm sure we can find a solution to that problem.
On one condition: No more formalities. - Agreed.
what do you want to know. Ask me.
How can I get access to the council's archives?
You need official permission. That can take up to a week.
Are there emigration records and of special events?
Yes, but those are personal council records.
You have to apply with the provincial government to get at those.
But I don't have time for that. - So you want them now?
No problem.
No, sorry. I can't grant access to strangers.
The captain is not just anybody. He can help clear up the Volckert...
No, I think the mayor is right.
I'll apply for official permission tomorrow. - But...
Thank you for your time, mayor.
Hello, officer. - This is captain Brandenburg.
He was a leader of the resistance. He wants to find old friends.
Now the officer and I must discuss this current issue.
Of course. well, have a good day, officer Bantink.
Officer.
Mayor, here is the file on Flying Volckert.
No one must know what I'm doing. Anyone could be Flying Volckert.
So you need those records. - I'm looking for photos of events...
like St. Nicholas visiting the school or Queen's Day.
So for people born in the 1920s. - Precisely.
I went to see Grevendonck and guess who was there?
Gerrit, the sexton, and farmer Harmsen.
Harmsen and Grevendonck: Two victims of Flying Volckert. Coincidence?
No, three.
The sexton was faced with a headstone and a letter that said: No exceptions.
I see.
Now what?
I have the key to the back door.
You said you didn't have time.
Some had seen him glide across the swamp on stormy nights.
The farmer who wanted to see the shady figure up close...
came home white as a sheet.
Because the ghost had picked up a rifle and shot at him.
A ghost and a rifle? That's impossible.
He can't pull a trigger. - Doesn't anyone believe me?
I know someone who does.
Emigration records.
Great.
That's odd.
The people are worried. Flying Volckert must be caught soon.
I'm doing my utmost, mayor. - Good.
Be quiet.
well, captain.
Now that we're here... - what do you mean?
In the 30s a whole generation left the country.
Some on that list are of the same age as those three men.
Maybe they went to school together. - Exactly.
Maybe the missing list contains the names of the people who came back.
Get out.
Out. It's a ten-minute walk to Verhoef. I'll rush to the school in town.
I know the headmaster, he may have old photos. I'll meet you at Verhoef's in ten.
How well do you know this headmaster? - He's a friend, that's all.
Come on: Out.
Go on.
what will you do about the stolen records?
Maeve says they must have duplicates. - These two are dead.
I found something. Look.
Good friend, huh?
I'm sorry. Let me introduce myself. Hello, I'm Maeve. Maeve van Veen.
You must be Jeltje. - Yes.
Pleased to meet you. Hello. - Tjerk Verhoef.
That must be the Raamsdonk boy. I'd recognize his ugly mug anywhere.
He's even uglier now.
Coffee? - Yes please.
Look. Here are the names. Grevendonck, third row.
Yes, that must be him.
And that's Gerrit. He can't stand straight because of his leg.
Everybody slouches sometimes, especially kids.
You and your vivid imagination.
I'm going to milk the cows. At least they listen. Tjerk?
wait, Bauke. Does the name Van den Brink ring a bell?
No. Must not be from around here. why?
For some reason that name sounds familiar.
And Joris Lensink? He's also on the list of emigrants.
Like I said: He's dead. - Do I have to milk the cows by myself?
Coming.
This must be Poelstra, whose grave was vandalized.
was Flying Volckert in that same class?
It's possible. - He must've been.
Can we find out what people came back from America or Canada?
Find out if they left at all first.
I'll see if we have more lists.
I have a friend at customs. I'm sure he'll help us, if I smile at him sweetly. Right.
Say, she has a lot of friends, doesn't she?
I guess.
why don't we go to the police? - No, not the police.
I want to snoop around a bit. Around your shack, on the island.
Maybe I can find out more.
we'll take the motorboat, no rowing. - whoa.
who says you're going?
I don't want you anywhere near Flying Volckert.
That goes for you too.
He's no longer on the island. - we're just looking, what can go wrong?
Right, just looking. I know you. - Yes, but I'll be there with them.
And we'll be very careful.
Sniff too.
No crazy stuff. Just look.
OK, get going.
Do you like Maeve?
I mean, she's really nice.
See? I knew it. - Hold it right there, young lady.
I don't remember saying anything.
Sniff, what did you find? Come here. - Hey, boy.
Let go.
Catch, boy. - Tom, wait.
Didn't you mention willow branches?
You saw some in the shack.
what about them?
Flying Volckert flies and glides. But how?
How?
Time for a little demonstration. Follow me.
while training in Canada we used things like this as snow shoes.
Snow shoes?
But if you can walk on snow with them, you can also...
walk on a swamp with them. Look.
Creating the illusion that you're gliding.
Flying Volckert.
Look, this is how he did it.
And it looks like you're gliding.
See?
whoa.
Not looking good.
My legs have been sucked in. - Mirjam, find a stick.
Hurry. I'm starting to sink.
Sniff, hurry up.
Mirjam, you must hurry.
Sniff has one. - Hurry up.
Captain, grab it.
Mirjam. - I've got it.
Pull.
I'm stuck. - Come on.
Harder. Pull.
Come on.
Take my hand.
well now. Great shoes, captain.
You can use a little practice.
You're not coming on the boat.
No unnecessary risks. we promised Jeltje.
Can I take Sniff with me?
want to come, Sniff?
Coming?
OK, but you stay in the boat. Agreed?
Good boy.
what is this, captain?
There's something about that name.
Seventeen letters?
No, his name is not on customs' list.
what did Bantvink have to say? - I couldn't find him. Is he not here?
Did you hire him?
Bantvink.
No, he was sent here. I had nothing to do with it.
Is that normal procedure?
The war has just ended. Many things are not normal.
Jump, Sniff.
Right. Now I know why we missed this.
You think it's all swamp, but it's actually headland. Get it?
That's Bauke's torch.
Yes, I couldn't find anything else. I'll be careful with it.
Stay here. You were supposed to stay in the boat.
wait here until I'm back. Agreed?
I'll be right back. Come on, Sniff.
Search, Sniff.
will you look at that?
Nice work, Sniff.
well done, boy. Now what have we here?
I thought I heard Sniff.
we are to stay here. - But he's calling us.
Let's go back to Vredehoeve and get help.
Alright, let's go.
This way.
It's quiet.
I was afraid of that.
If you'd stayed in the boat, you could've gone for help. Never mind.
This is Flying Volckert's lair.
It's bigger than I thought.
This is where he sleeps.
what's in the box?
why don't we find out. Hold this.
Give me some light.
Here.
Look at all that money.
That must be farmer Harmsen's.
Look.
Bank notes.
The man was not poor.
Captain. Are you alright? - where is the torch? The torch.
It fell and broke.
There must be an exit. Let's follow him. - How?
with Sniff. Sniff, come here.
Come here, boy. Find the way out.
Hold on to me.
Grevendonck, Harmsen, you, the men in the cemetery...
all went to the same school. - we have to pay. That's it.
I've asked you before... Gerrit.
Did something happen back then?
I have to get back to work. I have a wedding.
He's hiding something. - Yes, but what?
That's right, Sniff. - Good boy.
I can see light.
The boat. It's gone.
There it is.
Flying Volckert.
Get Volckert, Sniff. That way.
Now we've got him.
He must be in there. Be very careful, Tom.
Get away from there.
Get him, Sniff. Get him.
Sniff. Are you alright?
Come on. Get Flying Volckert.
Go, Sniff. Get him. - Grab him.
Go get him. Go. - Look, there's a plank there.
Give it up. It's no use.
Bernardus Bantvink.
Or should I say: Bartus van den Brink?
why?
They robbed me of my childhood.
Girlie, girlie...
No, let me go.
You bullies, leave him alone.
Mama. Mama. Mama.
No one helped him, so he wanted to take revenge on the whole town.
I can understand why he did it, but I don't approve.
But why use the letters of your own name?
It was part of his vengeful game: 17 letters.
So Grevendonck, Gerrit, Harmsen and him were all in the same class?
And the other two were already dead. - Yes. And wiersma, of course.
His wrath was directed at six culprits. - I heard about it.
But everybody thought it was a fatal accident.
Bartus didn't see it that way. - He's a smart man.
The mayor thought he was appointed by the province, but he forged a letter.
And he hunted for Flying Volckert, so no one would suspect him.
But let's talk about our real hero.
Thanks to Sniff we managed to track Flying Volckert. Come here, Sniff.
Look what I've got for you.
You like that, huh?
Good boy.
To new adventures, Sniff. - To new adventures.
Let's drink to that. - To new adventures.
I think it's amazing that everybody believed it was Flying Volckert.
And of course you didn't. - You know me, little girl.
By the way, I almost forgot: Your torch is broken.
Yes, it fell during the fight in the bunker.
Is it still in there? I'll go get it.
Dad, it's broken. Didn't you hear? - Maybe I can repair it.
Be careful you don't run into Flying Volckert.
