Behind Daniel, during his conversation with Louis throughout this episode, is the famous Francis Bacon artwork called Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion.
Stockholm Syndrome, refers to when a captive sympathizes with their captor. It is proposed type of defense mechanism to prevent physical harm from a captor. It refers to a theory to explain the behavior of employees a Stockholm bank present during a 1973 robbery. During the six-day standoff with police, many of the captive bank employees became sympathetic toward the bank robbers. After they were set free, some bank employees refused to testify against the bank robbers in court and even raised money for their defense. Further investigation debunked the reporters' and police's initial explanation of the employees experiencing anything like the proposed Stockholm syndrome. Rather, the extravagant explanation of the victims' psychology allowed public attention to be drawn away from the truth of police incompetence and recklessness with victim's lives to protect the bank's interests, which had forced the employees, more under threat from police than criminals, and the robbers as well, to step up to try to broker peace that did come form them being killed by their "saviors." Nonetheless, the original concept described in the false reporting remains in the public consciousness, and Stockholm syndrome does not refer to protecting oneself against harm from a purported helper, government official, or person protecting the financial interest of the wealthy over the lives of ordinary people. What the concept of Stockholm syndrome is not entirely unlike the scientifically robust psychological phenomenon of a "fawn" fear response (others being fight, flight, and flee). Fawn instinct is the first survival mechanism employed every human infancy and early childhood to ensure that adults meet survival needs of infants and children, who are unable to do so for themselves, and it remains useful throughout life for those dependent upon others for survival, including victims of domestic violence and the disenfranchised or otherwise unprotected.
