'Van Der Valk' Season 1 Episode 2 Recap: "Only In Amsterdam"

Van Der Valk's cold open starts in a pool hall, where VDV is not doing well. Hassell is at home, and she's not doing well; as we learn later, her girlfriend has left her, and her stays with VDV may indeed be platonic.

Meanwhile, tonight's victim is studying religious imagery at the famous Gilbert Library's spiritual center before heading out to have some incredibly dangerous-looking sex that kills her. The next morning, De Vries and Clooves fetch VDV (and Hassell) to investigate the victim, Aamina Jabara (Taj Atwal), found by the cleaners in a hotel room.

De Vries: Nun hunting is my new favorite sport.
