Maybe it was him.

Think so?

- You wait here if you're scared.

- And you?

I'm going to investigate.

Be right back.

Be careful.

Willy?

Willy, are you ok?

Willy.

- Dirty stinking rotten louse!

- Sorry, it was just a joke.

Some joke!

A**hole! Shithead!

- Help me out!

- So, happy now?

That shut you up, didn't it?

He's around here. Get me out!

- I thought you said you did Judo?

- Come on, dammit!

Okay, here you go.

Only if you promise to do

all my maths homework.

- Yes, okay!

- And my French too, promise?

Yes, I promise!

- Dammit!

- What are you whining about?

If you were really psychic you

would have known you'd fall in.

You're just a fraud.

I hope you can get that stain out.

It will be a reminder

of a wonderful evening.

- Good night.

- Make sure you stay away from the canals.

- Are you worried?

- I'd like to see you again.

Call me. Bye.

Bye.

Okay, you've got me

I give up.

I'm the killer you're after.

I'm turning myself in.

You'll go down for life, grandpa.

I'm prepared to pay.

Got any last requests?

A cup of coffee?

Hey, come on! We have to leave.

I'm coming.

My parents hate it when we're late.

I want to be on time.

The mayor's expecting me.

There you are.

I was just telling the

Commissioner and the District Attorney

I'm not happy with the

pace of this investigation so far.

Is this crazy Amsterdam canal killer

along with the windmills and tulip fields

going to be the new

tourist attraction this summer?

Can we prevent that scenario?

I understand your concerns.

I assure you,

we're doing all we can to stop this killer.

I should hope so.

Amsterdam means everything to me.

Its reputation hasn't always been spotless

but over the years we've managed

to clean up our image considerably.

We cleaned our canals.

And now we're dredging up bodies.

Look at the papers.

It's even the foreign press.

Amsterdam is getting

a bad name again.

The council and the police

department are becoming a joke.

And according to the commissioner

there's little immediate prospect

of any major breakthrough.

We're still following up leads.

These things take time.

Is this case in the right hands?

Who is working on it at the moment?

Eric Visser is one of our best men.

Perhaps we need somebody

with a fresh angle on the case.

Didn't you have someone in mind commissioner?

Yes. Eric Visser has a good reputation

But considering the lack of results so far

it does make me wonder if

he's the right man for the job.

Who else did you have in mind?

There are several capable

candidates that come to mind.

What do you think about that?

Let's not look for a scapegoat.

There are several things holding us up.

It's nothing to do with those in charge.

But don't you think a new man...

I have complete confidence in Eric

and I have no intention

of replacing anybody.

Fine, that is your right.

And your responsibility.

Let's wait and see.

But if there are still no results in

three days I will have to take steps.

If he screws up,

you're going down with him.

He won't screw up.

I hope.

How have you been feeling?

Not bad.

No bouts of depression?

No.

Still sleeping well?

Yes. And you?

Why do you ask?

You always ask me things.

I want to ask you something.

I'm the Psychiatrist.

If I keep on improving

you may lose me as a client.

And...

is that what you want?

No, I still like talking things

over every week.

Just to talk.

Are you going?

The lying down.

It relaxes you.

Can I have a cigarette?

Why don't you tell me?

- What?

- We agreed there would be no secrets.

- I saw that detective again.

- Did he bother you.

He asked me for a date.

Did you go?

Yes. It was a great evening.

Did he ask you about the killings?

- No, he didn't mention it.

- What did he want?

I think he likes me.

And you?

He's nice.

Are you... in love?

You're not jealous?

I'm really pleased for you.

Perhaps you won't be

needing me for much longer.

This is nuts.

I can think of better things to do at night.

A cigarette?

No. No thanks.

It's a complete waste of overtime.

These patrols won't help.

Quiet.

What?

I heard a thud.

Switch the engine off.

It's probably just a piece of driftwood.

Relax will you?

Relax? He's already killed 5 people.

Yes. And we'll be numbers 6 and 7.

Hear that?

What now?

Aren't you over-reacting a bit?

Look out.

Merry Christmas.

- How sure are we?

- Sure enough to talk to him.

What do we know about him?

He worked on an oil rig

in the north sea for 12 years.

- He got fired 2 months ago.

- He got drunk couldn't hold his liquor.

He worked some guy

over with a broken bottle.

Nice guy.

The rope we found matched

the type he worked with.

The depth meter also matches up too.

The oil residue matches ours.

- And the wet-suit.

- Who tipped us off?

An ex-workmate of his.

He ran into him last week

and thought he was acting weird.

He was talking about

getting even with someone.

Let's get even with him,

and see what his story is.

- Where is he?

- In that hotel there.

First floor front.

- Is he still in there?

- We're not sure.

He went in half an hour ago

and we haven't seen him since.

Hello, Herman, it's Johan.

- See anything?

- There's still no movement.

- Maybe he's long gone.

- We'll have to take a chance.

If he's gone we can forget it.

We're f***ed.

We'll have to risk it.

You stay here.

I miss all the fun.

Hey, what's going on?

Police.

He's gone.

Eric.

Taxi?

He's heading north.

Do we have backup there?

Message received.

We're on our way.

Do you plan on hanging up there?

Okay, you can keep your

mouth shut all night for all I care

but it won't help you.

You're staying put!

I have nothing to do with it a**holes!

Oh no? Then talk!

F*** you.

Innocent people don't run.

Got a bad conscience?

Why did you do it? Revenge?

Is that why you

butchered 5 innocent people.

I want a lawyer.

Listen a**hole.

I've had enough with you.

What's your game...

motherf***er?

Your turn.

So...

You don't wanna talk,

motherf***er?

- Congratulations

- For what?

Don't be so modest.

The mayor sends his congratulations.

He's pretty relieved.

Isn't this all a little premature?

Why, you've got him.

I though the mayor should know first.

Good news or not,

he hasn't confessed to anything yet.

He will. All the evidence points to him.

The problem with you is you're a pessimist.

What are you doing here?

Hi.

Can I come in?

- Do you know what time it is?

- It's late. Were you asleep?

Like most people at this time.

- Sorry.

- It's ok.

- I wanted to see you.

- Did you?

If I were you I'd throw me out.

- Cigarette?

- No thank you.

- A drink?

- No.

- Sandwich?

- I'm not hungry.

So you arrested somebody?

It was on TV.

That's right.

You don't look very happy.

I don't think he's the right guy.

What are you going to do?

I don't know. Wait

Are you sure there's

nothing I can do?

I needed that.

Jesus. Now what?

Where's that lamp?

Here we go.

What now?
