The narrative picks up with Ferry Bouman after the tumultuous events of ‘Undercover.’ In this sequel, the protagonist has traded his previous life as a gangster for a serene retirement on the sun-soaked beaches of Benidorm, Spain.
Ferry’s leisurely existence is interrupted when he receives an unexpected visit from his sister Claudia’s granddaughter, Jezebel, who arrives with her boyfriend, Jeremy.
She urgently requests his assistance in acquiring fifty thousand euros, revealing that she is entangled in the same drug world that he left behind and is in debt to a merciless drug lord named Lex van Dun.

The three of them soon meet with Lex in his warehouse, where Ferry proposes a deal: in exchange for providing five hundred thousand pills, Lex will double the payment and allow Jezebel and Jeremy to leave unharmed.
During this tense negotiation, Ferry discovers that his former adversary, Dennis, is now working with Lex. Dennis had betrayed Ferry to the authorities, resulting in his lengthy prison sentence. Despite Ferry’s mistrust, Jezebel views Dennis favorably due to his role in her upbringing during Ferry’s incarceration.
Following their meeting with Lex, Ferry joins Jezebel and Jeremy’s accomplices, Steve and Dino, at Camping Zonnedauw. The five go on a quest to locate a suitable site for cooking the required pills, especially since their labs have been seized by the police.
Their search leads them to an anchored boat near the docks, where they quickly set up operations. Suspicion lingers in Ferry’s mind regarding Dennis, prompting him to follow him after a Christmas party.
He discovers that Lex has employed an assassin, Xia, to eliminate Ferry and his associates, with Dennis being aware of the plot but not actively participating. Seizing the moment, Ferry renegotiates with Xia, offering her a greater sum to kill Lex instead, and to his surprise, she agrees.
Why Does Jezebel Stab Dennis? Does She Learn the Truth About Her Father’s Murder?
As the climax of ‘Ferry 2’ plays, both Ferry and Jezebel find themselves in a perilous situation when Lex reveals his true intentions.
A mishap at their makeshift lab results in the production of only four hundred thousand pills, prompting Lex to demand that they finish cooking the remaining batch at a police-seized facility, threatening Jeremy’s life if they fail.
In a desperate bid for survival, the trio infiltrates the police station with relative ease and begins to produce the pills using the confiscated equipment.
During their tense operation, Dennis tries to explain his allegiance to Lex, seeking to justify his actions, particularly since Jezebel views him as a trustworthy figure.
However, Ferry previously hinted to Jezebel about Dennis’s involvement in Lex’s assassination plot against her, leading her to perceive him as untrustworthy.
After listening to Dennis, she chooses to stab him, deeming him a coward who lacks moral conviction and is easily manipulated. In his final moments, Dennis reveals that Ferry was responsible for her father’s death, having killed him years earlier out of fear he would betray them to the authorities.
Jezebel is left shattered by this revelation but watches helplessly as Ferry finishes off Dennis. She instructs Ferry to no longer follow her and leaves the station alone, breaking down in tears as the police rush in. This betrayal shakes her faith in her family, leaving her grappling with deep doubts about the reliability of those around her.
How Does Ferry Save Jezebel? Does He Kill Lex?
In the repercussion of the police station incident, a frantic Ferry races to rescue Jezebel from Lex van Dun. Aware that Lex may have further murderous plans, he attempts to contact Xia, hoping she can eliminate Lex before Jezebel is harmed. However, Lex soon learns of Xia’s betrayal and has her killed.
Meanwhile, Jezebel manages to free Jeremy, and the couple attempts to escape, pursued by Lex. Ferry arrives just in time to confront Lex’s henchmen, sustaining a grave injury in the process. Despite the pain, he remains determined to protect Jezebel, drawing Lex’s attention so that she and Jeremy can escape.
As Jezebel and Jeremy make their getaway, Ferry and Lex exchange words. Lex revels in the prospect of killing the infamous Ferry Bouman, but in a moment of distraction caused by the fleeing couple, Ferry seizes the opportunity to shoot Lex dead.
Collapsing to his knees, he feels relief mingled with exhaustion from his injury. Although Jezebel watches him with sorrow from a distance, she finally runs away, pulled along by Jeremy. Ferry’s final act of courage underscores the nobility that persists within him, even despite a life filled with criminality.
Earlier, Ferry recognized that he had failed Jezebel by keeping the truth about her father’s death from her. Despite his tough exterior, he genuinely cared for her, feeling profound guilt for his absence during her upbringing.
This internal conflict manifests when Jezebel asks him to leave her alone at the station; instead, he rushes to her aid, prioritizing family over self-interest as a result of his past mistakes.
Does Ferry Die? Who Does He See in His Final Moments?
In the film’s concluding scenes, a wounded Ferry drags himself to a nearby bench to take his last rest. The camera focuses on his pained expression as a trailer door opens, revealing Danielle, his long-lost wife, approaching him.

However, the scene switch to reveal that no one is beside Ferry; Danielle’s appearance is merely a vision as he breathes his last.
Ferry dies on the bench, but the poignant moment with his wife encapsulates the depth of regret he feels for the choices that led to her departure.
The film illustrates how a lifetime of missteps and remorse has reshaped Ferry’s perspective on his criminal life and its costs.
He attempts to caution Jezebel about the dangers of “Bouman blood,” warning her against succumbing to the same demons that plagued him if she doesn’t escape this lifestyle soon.
His experiences have imbued him with wisdom and a deeper understanding of the importance of family over self-interest. The loss of his wife stands as his greatest regret, making it poignant that she returns in spirit to accompany him in his final moments.
In a post-credit scene, the film hints at Jezebel’s future, revealing whether she heeded Ferry’s advice to abandon her drug business.
In a brief snippet, she is seen handing over a new batch of drugs to a client and walking away with cash, indicating her continued entanglement in crime.
With Lex eliminated, Jezebel may be poised to ascend in the underworld, potentially following in Ferry’s footsteps. However, the same challenges and demons could very well haunt her, paralleling her granduncle’s life.
It remains to be seen whether she can truly break free from this cycle or if she will become ensnared in the very life Ferry hoped she would escape.
