She has planty of time now.

You can't just turn things upside down?

We can, sir. Come with me...

The Death Robe

Murder Rltual

'Inside the Serial Killer'...

Interesting. She never took them back.

No one may know my secret.

It'll dle wlth me.

Henk...

A diary.

No one may everflnd out.

"No one must know about the compulsion

I have to hide from everyone."

Dammit...

- Stop. We have to do our work.

Just go in the living room.

- That's private.

Wait in the living room

and we'll sort it out later.

Why would she do it?

Babies and old people...

Hundreds of reasons.

Hundreds?

Do this long enough and you'll find out

that it takes little to be bad...

And to be good?

It's pretty hard to be good.

They took everything. Everything.

I couldn't stop them.

What are they up to, Pete?

Grandpa...

You remember when

we came back from Canada?

No...

I was so sick...

You cared for me for weeks, remember?

In... in the front room.

Yes, in the front room.

We had a great view down that long street.

I lay there looking at the clouds.

You said that heaven

was at the end of the street.

You only had to take tram 11 to get there.

Dld you sleep?

- A llttle.

He Is restless.

Tosslng and turnlng all nlght.

Poor man.

- It's terrlble to see hlm suffer.

Wlll you look In my handbook, Pete?

Look up the slde-effects of Haloperldol?

Haloperidol?

Get some fresh alr.

- Go and look.

I'm not golng out.

Everyone thlnks I'm some klnd of wltch.

You found it?

It's fatal in high doses.

You want the slde-effects?

She sent his carers home. He's old, ill,

defenceless. We may be too late!

Hello, madam.

We're looking for Lucia de Berk.

Mrs de Berk, we'd like an interview.

An interview? Well... fine.

But I want to finish this first.

- I think not.

Astrid fancies you, doesn't she?

Astrid? No way.

- Yes, really. I saw it twice and it's true.

Hello. They left you in the dark?

That's no good.

Have you had any coffee?

- No.

Here we are. Sugar, milk...

Hey, cookies.

You brought those for me, Henk?

Well...

Cookie?

- Please.

Well, Lucia... Can I call you Lucia?

Yes, sure.

- I can.

That was quite something right,

with Timo?

And the other one... Mohammed?

- Wait a sec.

Let her drink her coffee.

Then we'll talk about how she helped Timo.

No, I didn't help Timo.

But he was a patient of yours.

I'm a bit confused now.

You help these children. I understand.

You don't want them to suffer.

Right. You don't want that.

When's my lawyer coming?

In a minute. On his way.

You spent a lot of time with the children?

More than your colleagues.

- Yes... it kept happening with me.

It hit me really hard.

I'm an emotional person.

- Emotional?

Really, Lucia?

No offence, but it says you

abandoned your daughter.

Doesn't sound very emotional.

I didn't abandon her.

You had a new lover so she moved in

with her father, didn't she?

Where's my lawyer?

Have you been in trouble with the police?

Prostitution, for example?

It says so here.

You told a colleague

you were arrested as a child prostitute.

Wasn't that tough on your mother?

A daughter doing that work and...

I want my lawyer.

- Why not? You still look good.

I can't imagine you doing it,

but it says...

you placed your own death notice

in the paper to shock your mother?

Something terrible must have happened

to make you do that.

What kind of person was she?

Hello! Don't sit there daydreaming.

We're having such a nice time.

Why have you started?

I clearly told you to wait.

Yes, but we haven't started.

We just had coffee and a chat.

No one can save you now.

The "Angel of Death", suspected serlal

klller Lucla de B., has been arrested.

The ex-prostltute Is suspected of 7 murders

and 5 attempted murders of patlents.

Isn't that that Lucia de Berk?

10 February 2002

Two months after her arrest

In the diary you mention a compulsion.

Is that an urge to kill?

Lucia! You get the question?

- I invoke my right to silence.

I didn't ask that.

- But it's my answer.

You have anything to hide?

You hid your compulsion or compulsions?

I invoke my right to silence.

- Why did you kill the children?

I invoke my right to silence.

- Because your lawyer told you to.

It's what I want too.

- Why?

Because it's my right.

This isn't going to get us a case.

We have to win this one.

Can you contact that toxicologist

we used before? Bernard Vos, I think.

To replace Dr Kobes, because she is sick.

It must be hard?

We have a poisoning and a diary,

that's not enough.

It's not like writing a thesis, is it?

I understand. One moment.

Lucia's grandpa has died.

Bos? I want to tell her myself

and see how she reacts.

Keep your distance.

I'll be behind right outside.

Pay close attention!

Sorry.

I have to take this. You go, I'll follow.

Johansson speaking? Yes...

That's right.

I'm Judith Jansen.

Maybe you could sit up straight?

I have bad news for you.

Your grandfather has died.

No emotion whatsoever.

I'm not surprised.

They've been back twice.

They only left the dirty laundry.

They even visited grandma.

She's so upset!

- And the newspapers. They're crazy.

They say you have compulsions.

I told you to stop laying those tarot cards.

Now they think... never mind.

- The things they say, Mum.

Don't listen, dear.

- It's not true.

Of course not.

- They'll find out they made a mistake.

They have to.

Fabinne...

Look at me.

They have to.

- Let go. No touching.

Hey...

Your new boyfriend...

How's it going?

Are you with him a lot?

We want a house.

With a garden. For his dogs.

- Dogs? He's got more than one?

They're huge.

But they're really nice, Mum. Really.

If you could see them...

Darling, I'm there.

I'm always there.

Even when I'm not with you, I'm still there.

- That's enough, Lucia. Hands apart.

We'll have to do a full cavity search now.

You know that.

Okay, that's it. Time's up.

Come on...

See you soon.

- Bye, dear.

You're early.

- Have you seen Johansson?

I think she had an appointment

in the cafeteria.

A piece is missing.

The heart monitor was off for 30 minutes.

There's a gap on the graph.

One hour before Timo died,

it was unplugged.

That's the time Lucia needed to inject

the poison. No needle marks because...

she put it in the new drip!

Even if we prove this,

we can't prove the other murders.

Why not? It all fits.

Her crime novels, bad childhood,

vindictive towards her mother...

A Ioner, manipulative, compulsions.

All characteristics of a psychopath.

In the US, they sentence a thousand

criminals a year based on profiling.

If one murder is proven,

the others are plausible.

We can use this as...

- A link in a chain.

For some time the suspect was alone

with the victim and in that time...

Mrs de Berk had an opportunity

to inject the poison through the drip.

Your honour, my client said that

Dr Kobes stood beside her all the time.

Thank you for the addition, Mr Bakker.

- The prosecution has replaced a witness?

Indeed, Dr Barbara Kobes is ill.
