Ruben Mesman himself confirmed the dark web rumor that his father was getting shafted by Klink.

Klink patented a medical breakthrough and sat on it.

HENDRIK: Yeah, only Dad-- a little bit miffed, one might imagine-- he got Tycho to continue his research in secret.

We think Klink finds out people are still working on the breakthrough.

HENDRIK: He's a powerful man-- he's got ego and money to hire a professional to do his dirty work.

Well, we know Tycho Bos was worried.

HENDRIK: Yeah, so what does he do?

Goes and shows his partner's film in a nightclub.

Why do that?

I know why he did it.
