Osman is a broken man: his daughter Yasmin is still missing after his birthday party. Even her brother Deniz must cease the search at sea. Ferdi consoles Yasmin's mother. Captain Marcel Clijsters investigates, helped by Rinus. Sander, the last to see Yasmin, doesn't mention their row on the beach. So his claim to have dozed off before she left walking towards the sea seems dubious. His mother realizes he stole her ADHD medicine for kicks and tells him alcohol can turn it into a psychedelic. Marcel shows Peer the porn site.
