Accused (Lucia de B.)

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.
