Instinct

Nicoline.

- Nicoline, can you hear me ? - Go away, asshole.

For your own safety, we're taking you to isolation. Will you cooperate ?

She won't cooperate. We're going in.

Keep her low.

Take her inside, now.

Listen, Nicoline. We will leave the cell one by one.

Don't get up until the door is closed. Is that clear ?

- Yes. Will I be alone then ? - Yes.

Thank you, thank you.

That went pretty well.

- You didn't get hurt, did you ? - No, not at all.

But one thing, guys. You all failed for frisking.

INSTINCT

Thanks.

I usually tell new colleagues a bit about the clinic...

and the special circumstances here.

But that seems a bit redundant given your expertise and track record.

-We'd gladly given you a permanent job. - I absolutely don't want one.

Because you want to keep giving trainings ?

- No, that's also temporary. - But suppose you really like it here.

Oh, I'm sure I will. That's not the problem.

But ?

I just really want...

to travel.

- Travel ? - Yes.

Mountains and such, especially.

Don't you have to do something now ?

- False alarm. Back inside. - Are you coming ?

- Hello. - Hi.

- Marieke. - Nicoline.

You can leave the door open.

- Do you want the door to stay open ? - We always leave it open.

- Do you prefer that ? - It's what I'm used to.

- But what do you want ? - I want you to feel safe.

- Nicoline Marbus. - Idris van Leeuwen. A pleasure.

You know I'm taking over Mr Boogers' clients ?

- As well as his intern ? - Yes.

- How is he ? - Who ? Mr Boogers ?

- A burn-out, right ? - Yes. How is he ?

If you want me to, I'll make inquiries.

Please.

Alright. I see you're well on your way in your reintegration leave plan.

- Yes. - That's good.

- Is it going well ? - Yes, I think so. I...

Still escorted, but unescorted has been approved.

Unescorted only needs scheduling.

- I guess you don't need me anymore. - I'm sure I do.

Could you tell me in your own words why you're here ?

- My offence, you mean ? - Yes.

We do that with offence presentation.

But you can tell me now too, can't you ?

Repeated sexual offences with an extremely violent character.

Or hadn't you gotten that far yet ?

That is indeed literally what it says in your file.

But that's not what I asked. What I asked was...

if you can tell in your own words why you're here.

If a friend asked, what would you say ?

You're pretty direct.

- Do you think so ? - Yes.

It's not something you tend to bring up during a... first date.

- But I know why you're here. - Yes, but...

That's quite different from me telling you about it.

- Yes, but that's why I asked. - Next time, okay ?

Do you always set the conditions here ?

Mom.

- It's late, Mom. - Yes.

So ?

So, I'll stay over. Nice, no ?

- But I have to get up really early. - I'll make you breakfast.

So you won't forget to eat.

Hi !

- Nicoline ? That's your name, right ? - Yes.

I saw a dog on the internet that knows CPR.

His name is Deril. It's an Italian dog.

Nicoline, are you listening ?

You can look it up: D-E-R-I-L. Italian dog.

Will you look it up ?

- Yes. - Yes ? Okay, thanks.

Why discuss it if it's already been approved ?

I think unescorted leave is absurd.

- You don't believe him ? - Not in the least.

- Why not ? - He's extremely manipulative.

One of the most cooperative patients ever.

And he's done a lot of growing, I must say.

If you look at where he comes from: violent father, extreme sexual abuse.

- I think she's read his file. - So she knows how well he's doing.

Yes, that's what he wants you to believe.

Sorry, he's been here five years. She walks in and...

I've been here two days and he's already been involved in an incident.

That fight with the rabbit. But he wasn't involved, right ?

- Yes, he was. - He didn't touch anyone.

His reaction is what bothers me.

What was it ? What did he do ?

You can't punish someone for lacking feeling.

And he says: 'Don't look at the offences I have committed...

but at those I haven't.'

- He has a sense of humour. - Dead serious.

- It does sound like a joke. - It wasn't a joke.

- Come on, he's playing with you. - Maybe I have no sense of humour.

Maybe you just have to get to know him.

He has a psychopathy score of 30, right ?

- Hold on, that test is five years... - It is known to get better with age.

-In your sixties, not in your thirties. - Exactly.

And you can interpret that differently. In the sense that it occurs

less above sixty since most psychopaths don't live that long.

Yes, she's got a point there.

I find it very strange, unescorted leave.

We've been working toward it for years.

- Well, let's hope I'm wrong. - Yes, let's hope you are.

- Let's talk about John. - Yes, John...

- Are you okay ? - Alex, how is John doing ?

I understand your doubts, but give it some time with Idris.

Everyone is really doing their best.

Did you know that there's a dog that knows CPR ?

An Italian dog. Deril.

But seriously, will you take it easy ?

- Jos ? - Yes.

- Are you okay, Jos ? - I can take it.

- Hey, guys. - No, I can take it.

He can take it.

- Idris, will you come with me ? - Sure.

You wanted to observe. I discussed it with Idris, he's okay with it.

Yes, please.

Sorry, I cry very fast. Doesn't mean a thing.

Leave her alone.

- Get lost. Go. - Nothing's the matter.

What the fuck are you doing ? They're my friends.

Yes, also by helping him a little, with homework

and then also with Lego.

Helping him build nice things, because he's by himself a lot.

And because you develop such a bond,

you notice something more begins to grow.

Then he said: 'Shall we go upstairs, to the bedroom ?'

He suggested that himself.

John, why do you think a 10 year old boy would invite someone to his room ?

Exactly, I wondered about that as well. It wasn't the first time he did this...

Filthy child rapist, I'm going to kill you.

Is this yours ?

Thanks.

Idris, what I'd like to know, what interests me

is why you first spend weeks seducing a woman

and in the end take her violently after all.

- Do I do that ? - You used to.

Natasja. What do you think it was like for her ?

- How should I know what she thinks ? - That's what I'm asking you.

- You tell me. - No, you tell me.

I'd like to talk about you.

About her or about me ?

I asked you a question and I'd like you to answer.

- Did I do something wrong ? - No, I'm just asking a question.

Marieke, can you go get some coffee ?

- Why do you send her away ? - Because you're distracted.

- Are you jealous ? - I asked you a question.

Sorry, what was it again ?

The question was: what do you think it was like for her ?

Would you scream ?

- Didn't she scream ? - You know I have a dog ?

What do you think it was like for her ?

I don't know.

Now you'll write I lack empathy and I'll never get out of here.

Or I say: Terrible, it must have been really terrible for her.

What do you want ?

Do you want me to be honest or give correct answers ?

So you don't know ? Is that your answer ?

Then that's what I'll write down.

Mum... What's up ?

I think you're all so beautiful.

That makes me so happy and that makes me cry.

But that's no reason to cry, is it ? Do you want something to drink ?

- Yes ? - What do you have ?

- Good morning ! - Good morning.

- The coffee is ready. - Thank you.

Isn't it better if I ask for another therapist ?

- Why ? - I don't believe that...

You and I, it doesn't feel good.

- It doesn't feel good ? - No.

I don't mind if you turn me over to someone else.

- So what is it you feel ? - I don't know, I...

I don't know what I provoke in you, but it seems... personal.

Interesting.

You find me attractive ? Is that it ?

It's possible, isn't it ? In that case, just admit it.

If that's what's going on here, I should ask for another therapist.

Ask ? You choose your own therapist here ?

Do you want children ?

You think every woman wants to reproduce ?

I don't ask every woman, I ask you. How old are you now ?

- I'll be on my way. - We can talk about this as adults.

- About what ? - That I want another therapist.

You won't get another therapist.

I'll see you shortly.

- I can handle your attractiveness. - Who says I can ?

Together, guys, together.

Will you come watch next Saturday ?

- Do you play as well ? - No, I'm the coach.

- Who are they playing against ? - Against themselves.

- Are you coming too ? - Yes, they can use the support.

Shakil, pass it on. Don't play solo.

Yes, together, guys.
