"Lucia!" "Look this way!" "Lucia!" "Judith?" " Yes." "I'm Antoinette." "I'm glad you're here." "Assistant prosecutor..." "Feels good, doesn't it?" "She's waiting for you." "It's a formality." "She'll probably give you a stern look, is all." "The first day's hard, isn't it?" "It'll be over tomorrow." "Profiling and chain argumentation" "With distinction." "Antoinette will show you the ropes and you'll archive the Lindeman case this week." "Good." "Fine." "I hoped to join a current investigation." "It's been very hectic here and this file has to be organized." "There's sure to be a nice case for you to prove yourself." "Hush, little baby" "Don't say a word" "Are you still here?" "I gave Sanne in room 4 a new drip and Ahmed in 7 has gone back to sleep." "It's sure to be a quiet night." "Shall I go?" " No need." "You go on home." "No, just let me check." "Did you have any dinner?" "No, I'll eat later, Grandma." "But you work so hard." " I don't..." "And anyway, I enjoy it." "You know that." "Lucia, I don't understand the papers." " Oh, let me take a look." "They didn't give him more morphine?" " They said it wasn't necessary." "He's awake half the night." "I'll see what I can do, okay?" "Lucia..." "Will you take one more look?" "Grandma, I no longer do that." "I don't even know where they are." "The Hanged Man" "Take it easy, sweetheart." "Take it easy." "It's no fun, is it?" "But you'll feel better in a bit, you will." "Should I take him?" "No, I'll keep him on my lap." "I hope he sleeps better in a minute." "Okay." "Oh, Joosje, would you check when he was last fed?" "You think he's hungry?" " No." "But just check it." "Okay?" "That's good, isn't it?" "Page Doctor Kobes again!" "Petra!" "Now!" "Now!" "I already tried her twice." "They always do that..." "when you're at a concert." "Unplug him... and fit a new drip." "Okay..." "Okay..." "It's okay." "Pen?" "Yes." "Stable" "One, two, three, four." "I'm losing him." "One, two, three, four..." "One, two..." "One, two..." "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven..." "Hold tight." "This keeps happening to me." "Yes..." "It's awful." "But it's as if... it's as if I attract it, or..." "That's impossible." "Impossible, isn't it?" "You know what?" "Take some time off." "Get away for a few days." "But can I just do that?" " Of course, I insist." "It's so nice of you to come yourself." "It's the least I can do." "I'll inform HR." "You recharge your batteries at home." "We'll work out what happened." "Take care." "You're late." "Your grandma called." "She wants you to drop by." "Yes..." "Yes, and who reported it?" "I don't get it." "First it was natural causes and later it wasn't?" "Can you make copies?" "What?" "You want to be a prosecutor, right?" " Antoinette." "Detective Bos..." "A report from Westland hospital." " I'm on that arms case." "I can't..." "Then you can come." "Yes, we're at Westland hospital." "She always arrives early and stays late." "She's a little..." " Am I right?" "Carry on." " You mentioned the night shift." "It's just... sometimes I have a strange feeling about her." "Yes." " And she acts weird." "Very concerned but also very, very cold." "She never sits with us." "Always on her own." "As if she's too good..." "And she keeps giving us orders." "As if she's a doctor." "Right." "It's true." "And she was on the game." " What?" "Really?" " She told me once on night shift." "Does she still do that?" "She always wears short skirts." "And that little bell." "Okay, we'll make an appointment with each of you this week." "It's important that we know about things like this." "Detective Bos." " Mrs Johansson." "My assistant Judith Jansen." "This is detective Bos." "Mrs Jansen." "Here comes Dr Kobes." " Hi, Barbara." "How terrible this..." "The baby had a heart op 6 weeks ago." "Then he was moved from Intensive to Medium Care." "He seemed fine but suddenly needed resuscitating." "Breathe through your mouth." "I sent off blood samples to establish the cause of death." "It's not natural causes?" "I don't get the blood digoxin." " Digoxin?" "It's a heart drug that can be fatal for babies." "It wasn't natural causes?" "No." "But how?" "The child is ﬂawless." "No needle marks or anything." "To be honest, we had no idea who we employed." "No idea at all." "That's why I got in touch with Tesla Hospital." "Where she worked before." "They had the same stories as here." "She was independent, arrogant, private." "I got numbers from the previous hospital." "In geriatrics, she had 17 resuscitations and deaths." "If you add that to ours... then it can't be coincidence, statistically speaking." "The chance of this happening to one specific nurse is 1 in 700 million!" "It says "stable"." "Noted by Dr Kobes with De Berk beside her." "The child died soon after." "Were there witnesses?" "Of other cases?" "Autopsies?" "Two babies were cremated and the rest were Muslim." "You can't excavate them." "Was that coincidence?" "Barbara, can you provide clear summaries, please?" "You mean of baby Timo?" " No." "All of them, please." "All of them?" "But Jaap..." "I don't know." "I don't know if there is a case." " Nor do I." "Jaap, do me a favour and keep it under wraps, okay?" "Is he handsome?" "Mum..." "Is he good-look?" " Mum!" "Does Dad know yet?" " No, you're the first." "Go to school." "Let's talk tomorrow." "Love you." " I love you, girl." "Lucia?" "Lucia?" "Hi, darling." "Are you okay?" "I don't get it." "I just don't get it." "It must be a misunderstanding, dear." "So why did they suspend me?" "The lawyer said so too." "They ain't allowed to without good reason." "Just call him and ask one more time." "Go and have a nice shower and I'll make some coffee." "Look at me." "Cutie." "I won't be long." "Okay." "Westland hospital has ordered an investigation... after a baby died unexpectedly." "It had birth defects and was unlikely to live, still death was unexpected." "The hospital investigation showed..." "Pete?" "Pete!" "In all death cases always the same one specific nurse was working." "Further investigation is needed." "In view of the severity, we reported the nurse to the police." "Jesus!" "Our thoughts are with parents and staff." " Incredible." "I asked him to keep it under wraps." "You were there." "A whole media circus and we don't have a case." "The digoxin and statistics?" "That ridiculous 1 in 700 million." " It's 1 in 342 million." "An expert checked the hospital statistics." "It can't be coincidence: her being involved in so many incidents." "Combined with the fatal dose of poison." " We still have nothing." "I don't want to lose another case." "In America it is normal too..." " We're not in America." "How can you prove she administered it?" "No syringe... no witness, no puncture marks." "Suppose if she's guilty?" "We can't afford to build a case on nothing." "We just have a hysterical press conference because Jaap couldn't keep quiet." "Examining magistrate Krol, please?" "Johansson here." "I need a search warrant." "Better make sure you find something." "Good morning, I'm Edward Krol, magistrate." "You live here with Lucia de Berk?" "Lucia isn't home." "Sorry..." "You can't just barge in?" "Lucia isn't even here." "Is she out?" "Yes, looking after her sick grandpa." "She has plenty of time now." "You can't just turn things upside down?" "We can, sir." "Come with me..." "The Death Robe." "Murder Ritual." "'Inside the Serial Killer'..." "Interesting." "She never took them back." "No one may know my secret." "that will die with me." "Henk..." "A diary." "No one may ever find 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." "Did you sleep?" " A little." "He is restless." "Tossing and turning all night." "Poor man." " It's terrible to see him suffer." "Will you look in my handbook, Pete?" "Look up the side-effects of Haloperidol?" "Haloperidol?" "Get some fresh air." " Go and look." "I'm not going out." "Everyone thinks I'm some kind of witch." "You found it?" "It's fatal in high doses." "You want the side-effects?" "She sent his carers home." "He's old, ill, defenseless." "We may be loo 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..." "Mohammad?" " 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 of fence, 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 serial killer Lucia de B., has been arrested." "The ex-prostitute is suspected of 7 murders and 5 attempted murders of patients." "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." "Fabiénne..." "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 loner, 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." "She'll be replaced by an expert, toxicologist Dr Vos." "Dr Vos, you endorse the digoxin poisoning of baby Timo?" "The clinical picture is right." "Diarrhoea, abrupt cessation of breathing..." "I haven't seen the post-mortem, but the heart was contracted?" "You can be sure of that." "My client wants to emphasize that Dr Kobes was present and supervised her." "In addition, the child was very weak." "When Timo died it was natural causes." "That was in the report." "Why was it changed to poisoning?" "Timo was stable and later we concluded that the substances..." "He wasn't stable." "He had watery stool and lack of oxygen." "He was very sick." "Mrs de Berk, please." "Dr Kobes' report says the child was stable." "He was healthy enough to go home." " No." "He's dead, isn't he?" "Mr Bakker, if your client continues to interrupt, I'll have her removed." "The prosecution says Mrs de Berk is not only responsible for baby Timo's death... she's also responsible for the death of several patients in hospitals in The Hague." "Statistics, compulsion and criminal profile carry such weight... we can link the other murders directly to the digoxin murder." "If the court and defense approve, I will finish for now... by reading the names of the victims and their age." "They are: the baby Timo Visser, 2 months." "The infant Abdel Hani, 2 years old." "Baby Mohammed Baltoun, six months." "Baby Amal Wassim, three months." "Mrs de Wit, 91 years old, Mrs Koog Smulders, 83 years old," "Mrs den Uil-Groenesteeg, 76 years old." "Mrs van Zutphen, 92... and Mr Wong, 82." "Oh yes, it went very well..." "It's my period." " Undress and bend over." "Verdict Angel of Death." "Bend over." "In the case against Lucia de Berk... after lengthy deliberation, the court... finds her guilty of seven murders and attempted murders." "The court sentences you, Lucia de Berk, to life in prison." "Paul, Paul... this is my ministering angel Judith Jansen." "My husband Paul." "I heard a lot about you." "Well done." "Ernestine!" "Congratulations." " Thank you." "What a relief." "It is indeed!" " Well done." "Hello Paul!" "You okay?" "Great to see you." "You must be proud." "She started talking gibberish." "She was acutely admitted last week." "Again?" "I was afraid of that." "Dr Kobes stayed home last year too." "I don't know much more." "Are you aware Dr Kobes was acutely admitted?" "Acutely?" "Acutely?" "It's not that bad." "She's just had a burnout." "It can happen to the best of us." "I told Joyce: we'll ask you to Tuscany when it's all over." "Come away for a weekend." " You still have that huge pizza oven?" "DB psychiatric hospital." "This is Judith Jansen, prosecution." "I'd like to speak to someone about a patient who was admitted recently:" "Barbara Kobes." "Why am I looking at this?" " Barbara Kobes is clinically depressed." "She has been very ill for very long." " Dr Vos was a fine replacement." "But Dr Kobes made the summaries we used to accuse Lucia de Berk." "That was ages ago." " Maybe she made mistakes." "We may have the wrong facts." "Dr Kobes..." "We have a clear case." "We have to prepare for the appeal." "And Dr Vos can help us just fine." "I mean maybe we should do more research." "So we're prepared and can't be trumped by the defense." "They'll know that Dr Kobes is in hospital and use that." "You were here when we spoke to the police?" "When that baby died." "You're Karima, right?" "Can I help you?" "Lucia was a fine nurse." "She was crazy about children." "She always got the diff cult cases." "She put Timo on the heart monitor herself because she was worried." "He needed oxygen, had diarrhoea and a severe heart condition." "He was very ill." " But he was stable?" "His bad condition was." "The baby didn't have a chance." "I thought that all the files... would show Lucia was innocent." " Baby Mohammad?" "Were you working then?" "Mohammad... he was hysterical." "He kept screaming and shouting." "Lucia was completely exhausted." "She was allowed to leave early." "What time?" " About 10 o'clock..." "The report said the baby died just before the night shift." "It suffocated." "Lucia had long gone home." "The hospital merger was imminent." "If we'd say anything about it, then..." "Then what?" "Everyone was afraid of dismissal." "Judith!" "It's good to see you." "Now I can thank you personally for all that you did." "How goes the merger?" "No problems?" "No, it's all good." "You came to prepare me for the hearing?" " Oh, don't worry about that." "We want the original files of all the suspicious deaths for the appeal." "Oh, that." "I think you received everything." "They were only summaries." "We want the originals." "Oh, okay." "They won't question me on that, will they?" " No, we just want to double check." "Now that Dr Kobes is in hospital." "Yes...well..." "Fine." "I'll make sure you get them as soon as possible, because... the defense already took away copies." "This is Quirijn Herzberg." "Your new lawyer." "He'll help us with the appeal." " Theo told me about you." "At least we've got you out of observation." "Quirijn took care of that." "It's shared cells these days, but that means you can socialize again." "We are down 10-0..." "We'll have to score 11 goals to win." "We've been given time to examine all the case files." "Tell me anything you think might help." "Only then can I defend you." "You understand?" "You should feel comfortable sharing everything with me." "Everything." "Why do you want my case?" "Why?" " Yes." "What's the point?" "It won't make you rich." "You don't even know me." "I do know you." "I read the paper and watch TV." "You are famous." "If people so badly want to believe something is wrong, it's usually more complicated." "When Theo asked me to look at your case, I too was amazed." "The argumentation is ﬂawed." "It's all based on assumptions, gossip and faulty prosecution evidence." "The judges swallowed it all, inﬂuenced by a strange mass hysteria." "It's clear to me that this is a witch-hunt." "Well..." "What do we do now?" "You brought the whole library with you?" " Yes, We got life." "That's why." "I'm Jenny." "Lucia." "The witch?" " No, Lucia de Berk." "So what are you doing?" "Helping my lawyer... prove that I'm innocent." "Cigarette?" "Please." "You didn't do it then?" "No." "They all say you did." " They say lots of things." "Did you do it?" " Sure." "But he asked for it." "If the liver is enlarged, that means the heart is dystonic, contracted." "19 April 2004 Appeal Hearing" "Mrs Chairman, Mrs Johansson, Mr van Hoensbroeck." "You have the ﬂoor." "Mr Espen, who was responsible for the statistics, is a professor of criminology." "He's not a statistics expert." "No, but he is someone..." " He based them on hospital numbers?" "That is true." "Mr van Hoensbroeck, you studied medicine, then worked in pharmaceuticals." "You also took an MBA?" "That's correct." "You were responsible for the numbers on deaths and staff?" "That's correct." "And they were the numbers for 2001?" " Correct." "Can you tell me how many deaths there were in your hospital in 2000?" "In 2000?" "I shall have to look that up." "You never did that?" " For 2000?" "No." "And for the year before that?" " No, no..." "I don't know that either." "Do know how many nurses worked in your hospital in 2000 and before?" "It would be hard to answer that question." "Hundreds?" "Anyway, that varies..." "Do you at least know when the night and day shifts start?" "Well, the times..." "No." "That's not my field." "Yet you provided numbers that led to statistics which incriminated my client." "The defense wants to show these numbers are based solely on 2001." "They don't show how many people worked in the hospital, when, or how long." "Mr van Hoensbroeck..." "Can you assure me these numbers do not apply to any other year?" "No, I can't." "Chairman, the statistics were no longer relevant... and were removed from the charge." "The charge itself remains unchanged." "But... that isn't right!" "Hello." " Hello." "Judith Jansen." "We met before... when you examined that baby:" "Timo." "I'm from the prosecution and came with Johansson." "Yes, of course." "I wondered if you remember if the heart was contracted?" "I put that in the file. it went to Dr Kobes." "I assume you have it." "Wait." "Let me see..." "Yes, here." "The heart was at rest." "At rest?" "So not contracted?" "No." "Rest." "That doesn't fit with digoxin poisoning." " No, hence the new test." "Who requested that?" " Your office did." "Mrs Johansson." "They were just done in Strasbourg." "Is there any mail from Strasbourg?" "Strasbourg?" " Johansson ordered a new test." "Are you still fussing about that?" "Did something come from Strasbourg?" " Ask her yourself." "If you carry on like this, she'll chuck you out." "Ladies..." "I'm going out for lunch today." "Will you lock my door, Antoinette?" "Mrs Johansson..." "Mrs Johansson!" "The heart was at rest." " What?" "Baby Timo's." "I was in the hospital and the pathologist confirmed it was at rest." "You found that out this morning?" " There was no digoxin poisoning." "Did you want to be a defense counsel?" "We are accusing her of murdering babies and old people." "With Mohammed she wasn't even there." " You do know who you work for?" "Have the results from Strasbourg arrived?" " This is a serial killer." "We have to protect society and especially the weak and needy against her sort." "The other murders are a chain linked to the digoxin." "If the test is negative..." "We are done with the digoxin." " But you ordered the test yourself." "Look at the whole picture." "The lies, compulsion, prostitution." "The grudge against her mother." "All her colleagues testified against her." "Lucia de Berk is a psychopath." "How blind can you be?" "It's not right." "We made a mistake." "I think you should go on leave." "Right now." "4 June 2004 Appeal" "Haven't seen you around." "No..." "I heard you had a burnout." "Burnout?" "I feel like I'm only balanced one here..." "Turn around." "Lucia!" "We have a good case." "They can't brush this aside." "Don't forget!" "Not a single witness observed... that any action or lack thereof by Lucia de Berk led to a patient's death... or made resuscitation necessary." "No one saw..." "Nor is there any evidence of Lucia de Berk giving a patient an overdose... or doing anything else that could be a cause of death." "There are no fingerprints on a strip of pills or bottle of medicine... linking her to the unauthorized administering of medication." "Any proof... of a direct link between the alleged crimes and Lucia de Berk... is absent." "Lucia nursed extremely ill patients with a very low life expectancy." "These people were in hospital." "And however hard that is to accept, sometimes people die there." "Against the image of a chain-link locomotive, we place that of a house of cards." "We regard the prosecution's case as such a construction." "If one moves away from suggestion, that house collapses." "If only the facts count, Lucia de Berk will be cleared... of all charges." "18 June 2004 The Verdict on Appeal" "You may sit down." "You killed defenseless innocent victims, deliberately and in a very refined way... without leaving a single trace." "Your actions have damaged society's trust in our hospitals." "You're sentenced for 7 murders..." " I don't have to hear this." "To life in prison..." " I didn't do it." "And to involuntary commitment." " I didn't do it." "No." "I didn't do it." "I didn't do it!" "I didn't do it." "Pete, I didn't do it!" "I didn't do it!" "Life with involuntary commitment..." "It's legally impossible." "Everyone's gone crazy." "I..." "I don't understand it." "They ignored all the facts and threw out all exculpatory evidence." "We'll contest the appeal and find something to reopen the case." "Then we'll go to the Supreme Court..." "I didn't do it." "I know that." "Do you?" " Yes." "They all say it, don't they?" "All those judges, all those bigwigs, everyone..." "I wouldn't believe me either." " Lucia..." "No." "We're going to show the judges are simply parroting each other." "We'll contest this." "There only has to be one error in the verdict." "You're innocent." "Don't forget that." "Quirijn Herzberg speaking?" "Hello?" "Who is this?" "I may be able to get new information." "Come in." "An independent digoxin test was done in Strasbourg." "The prosecution probably has the results." "If they show that Timo died naturally and wasn't killed, the whole case collapses." "And if they show otherwise?" "You really think they will?" " No." "Why do you think the results weren't used?" "I don't know if Lucia can handle another disappointment." "I did so much to get her in jail." "If you can get hold of that test somehow..." "I'll submit it to the Supreme Court." "Antoinette?" "It's Judith!" "I'm in the cafeteria and thought: we never said goodbye." "Shall we have a coffee?" "You can find 15 minutes, can't you?" "Strasbourg Laboratorium" "Where were you?" " I thought I'd meet you on the way." "I don't think you're allowed up here anymore..." "You have this room all to yourself now?" "That's nice!" "Can I see your bag?" "My bag?" "Why are you here?" "I came to thank you... it was great working together." "What are you doing here?" "I would like to talk to you." "Has somebody else died?" "I know you're innocent." "Now you tell me!" "That's a little late, isn't it?" "Or did you forget how long We been here?" "Only four or five years." "That's a long time." "We had plenty of time to think... about why I am in here... and why I'll probably never get out." "I don't think that you, with your pretty face... and your well-paid job... can imagine what it's like to have appearances against you." "Whatever you do or say, it's never right." "If you wear a short skirt, you're a whore." "But smart clothing is suspicious." "Sit up straight and you're too cocky, slouch and you're hiding something." "If you're quiet, they put you in solitary." "But if you're loud, they do too." "Never mind what you do... you lose, every time." "Without Pete and Fabienne I wouldn't be here anymore." "They know I'm innocent." "But that's not going to save me." "I have a very good lawyer, a darling." "But we won't pull it off." " Mrs de Berk..." "Oh, get lost!"
