03x08 - The Enemy Within

[bunniefuu]

Previously on this season
of The Mallorca Files...

[g*nsh*t]

- [Max] I really think we're a great team.
- [Miranda] Having a nice time in there?

- Out!
- [Max] The perfect match.

Thanks, Max.

[yells]

I was talking to the car.

So this is the famous Miranda.

Kept asking if you were my girlfriend.

[Miranda] Maybe talk to her?

It's just about communication.

I got a new job. It's in Madrid.

[Miranda] Carmen needs to know
that you will follow her anywhere.

Which you totally could have
told me to say yesterday.

- Okay.
- [Carmen] Six months.

After that we're together forever
or forever apart.

Detective Benito Mancuso,
Barcelona Police.

- But you can call me Benny.
- [Miranda] This is a British citizen.

- On our island.
- Never heard you call it that before.

- [tyres screeching]
- What the hell are you doing?

Thanks so much
for fighting our corner, Inés.

Wow. There's so much
I could say about this.

It wasn't anything serious.
Just a bit of harmless fun.

Barcelona have decided to start again,
but this time without us.

Because this is the second time
in a matter of months

that we've been shut out by the mainland.

Which is clearly meant as a punishment.

[Inés] This is a small island.

We can't be chasing
high-profile criminals every day, can we?

[Max] She really needs
this holiday. Miranda!

I just need to love myself a little more.

What about other people?

We'll see, won't we?

[suspenseful music playing]

- Guard down. Guard down.
- [g*nsh*t]

- [screaming]
- [Miranda over coms] Shots fired,

requesting backup.

[g*nshots]

[guests clamouring]

[g*nshots continue]

[Miranda] Max!

Max! [gasping]

♪ Surrender ♪

Going to show me your pot?

It's a bowl.

I think the colours might be a bit much.

I mean, I'll probably take it back.

Maybe don’t overthink it so much.

Have you met me, Max?

Hey. You saw something you liked,
and you went for it.

That's a win.

This is it.

[man] When she didn’t come
to the restaurant I called her.

The door was open...

I saw the room and called the police.

You're Empar's boyfriend?

Yes.

Er-- Okay, Mateo,

you said Empar's a journalist,

but I don't see a computer
or laptop anywhere.

Her laptop stays with her

but she uses pen and paper here.

Too easy to hack the WiFi.

She was an investigative reporter
in Madrid.

Now she writes for Viva Mallorca!

Oh, your type of magazine.

- [chuckles]
- [scoffs]

Upset them how?

She's passionate. She won’t be quiet
if she knows something's right.

I found this here two days ago.

[Max] "Drop the story."

She made me promise
I would not go to the police.

What's she working on?

An interview with Alexander Sundberg.

Alexander Sundberg. The Eco guy.

The one hosting that environmental event.

Yep.

Mateo, erm, we're going to need
a recent photo of Empar.

Yeah, sure.

I think she's in real danger.

Don't worry, we'll find her.

[upbeat music playing]

Wow!

Quite the place to hold
an exclusive summit.

What, an industrialist,
living in a palace,

banging the drum for the environment
with his billionaire mates?

More like an eco garden party.

[Max] Miranda Blake,

always seeing the good in people.

So, Mr Sundberg...

that's her.

Ah, yeah. She annoyed me.

She came here under the pretense
of an interview on climate change

and started asking questions
about my family.

Asking what?

Questions about my son.

I’m trying to get 30 industrialists
to see the light,

and this woman asks me
about my son’s sports cars.

He has one sports car which is soon
going to be sold off for charity.

I have transformed our lives
and my businesses,

but she, she still came looking for dirt.

So, the, the last time you saw her was--

the interview. Which ended abruptly.

When was it? Er, Tuesday this week.

You know I have to go out.
What is this meet and greet?

We were just discussing you.

This is my son, Ellis.

Someone for whom the world's most
expensive education

didn't include social graces.

Meet your friends earlier if you must,

you're meeting Lila Beck at 2.

It shouldn't be too difficult.

Whoa. Movie star Lila Beck?

Yeah. You know her? She's our ambassador.

- Wow.
- [Alexander] Mm-hm.

So, Ellis, is that acceptable?

Yes, Father.
Just a little notice would be nice.

The detectives are here
to ask about, er...

- What's her name?
- Empar Rodrigues.

Oh, yeah, Empar Rodrigues.

Here. That's her.

Yeah,

she was here to, er, interview my father.
I didn't meet her.

So, I think we've answered
all your questions.

Yep.

Did you know this about Sundberg?

Why he's now all Mr Eco?

What I know is, he made a billion euros,

and now he's trying
to spend it all on saving the planet.

Well, he had a factory in Brazil,

and all the runoff pipes
got contaminated with industrial waste,

k*lling everything around it for miles.

Even kids from the local village.

Wow.

Yeah, he handed over millions
in compensation,

then he closed every factory down.

That's intense.

You know Lila Beck doesn’t fly anymore?

- Really?
- Yep.

And all her film sets are, like,
carbon neutral.

Tell you one thing that wasn't neutral
back there, though.

His son’s face when you showed him
Empar’s picture.

Yeah, and there he goes.

Well, at least he’s made it easy
to follow him.

[Miranda] Let's see who his friends are.

[dramatic music playing]

[maid] Housekeeping.

Good morning, sir.
Would you like the turndown service?

[Miranda] They seem nervous.

Do you think they're waiting for someone?

- [camera shutter clicks]
- All right. I'll send them over.

See if we can get a match.

[Miranda] Look behind you.

Hat and glasses on the stairs.

We're not the only ones watching Ellis.

Maybe that's our third man.

Or woman.

I'm going to take a closer look.

Keep and eye on the cafe.

[suspenseful music playing]

Palma Police. Stop. Stop!

- [speaking Spanish]
- Okay, okay.

- Stop struggling.
- Get away from me!

Stand still!

Thought so. Empar Rodrigues.

We've been looking for you. Come.

[Max sighs] You know this man?

With Ellis Sundberg?

Maybe his boyfriend.

Well, your boyfriend reported you missing
when he found your apartment torn up.

So we're here in the middle of our day
to ask you

why you disappeared
and didn't think to report it.

Look, I'm just trying to do my job.

Well, your job is going to
directly affect our job.

Not my problem.

Well, we have no problem with arresting
you for hindering an investigation.

So let's try again.

Do you know this man with Ellis Sundberg?

Of course.

I’ve been following him for two days.

Yago Cabrera.

Following him why?

He's a suspected eco-t*rror1st.

And Ellis Sundberg made contact?

Is this what you mentioned to his dad
that k*lled your interview?

No, I was a little more subtle.

I asked about his associations.

What contacts Ellis is making,

now daddy is trying to save the world.

He kicked me out.

Okay.

So, Sundberg’s security team
trashed your apartment

and you go on the run?

What's going on, Empar?

Okay.

Okay, Detective Winter,
you formally arrest Empar

for hindering an investigation,

I’ll go get us some coffees
and doughnuts, shall I?

There's an assassin on Mallorca.

To k*ll someone at the summit tomorrow.

I-- I don't know the target,

but the assassin, they call him El Juez.

The Judge.

They think he k*lled
two industrialists last year.

One in Bilbao, one in London.

It has become his specialty.

And Ellis Sundberg’s in the middle?

Ellis asked Yago Cabrera
to act as a go-between.

Last week I followed Yago
to a meeting with the Judge.

On the mainland.

The photographs are not that clear.

I was waiting for another chance
later today,

but you brought me here instead.

Stay here.

[Inés] So, this "Judge" is on my island?

You don’t think this journalist
is just trying to save her career?

I think she believes
this is really happening.

Then it’s good we’re getting help
from the mainland.

Okay, but I'd like a chance to investigate

before we run to big brother
and look like idiots.

[man on video call] I don’t remember ever
thinking of you as an idiot, Miranda.

Erm, I was on hold.

Miranda Blake.

Robbie!

Erm, Detective Inspector Turner.

INTERPOL. This is Detective Winter.

Hola!

Erm, you know each other?

Detective Inspector?

We trained together at Hendon.

They may not have
covered this in training,

but when you request
access to an INTERPOL file,

it tends to spark
a little curiosity the other end.

And what do INTERPOL think?

Er, we have our doubts the Judge
is anywhere near your little resort,

but ignoring the evidence so far
would be foolhardy,

so I would like you to liaise with us
from now on

and keep us up on your investigations.

Of course.

And if your mystery man turns out
to be something a little less dramatic

than an international assassin,

we can close the case.

That's a good plan.

[DI Turner] Excellent.

Really very nice to see you again,
Miranda. We should...

We should catch up.

What?

He’s a very competitive,
very arrogant man.

I mean, I haven’t seen him in 15 years
but now he’s a DI of INTERPOL.

So, erm--

This journalist, this Empar,

she's going to be our guest
for a while, right?

Well, reluctantly.
She’s, er, very headstrong.

Then I think you should be trusted
to convince her.

Good.

Stay here and do what?

This story is my chance
to make a difference.

I have to tell it.

Okay, but if what you're saying is true,
your life is possibly in danger.

So you will stay here, won't you?

Then I need my phone back.

Ellis!

Ellis, get here.

- What's he supposed to have done?
- Well, we--

What?

I’m Olivia Levant,
Mr Sundberg’s family lawyer.

You were speaking with this man
earlier today, Yago Cabrera?

Yago's an eco-extremist

- with t*rror1st links.
- [Olivia] Ellis,

- you don't have to respond.
- A t*rror1st?

How can you be so foolish?

He’s an activist, a campaigner.
Am I under surveillance?

[Alexander]
With what I am trying to do here?

The guests for the summit
are arriving right now

and this is what they're going to see.

Fine, Ellis!

I was trying to get him to be on our side,

so I set up a meeting with him
so he’d talk to his people.

Well, you should have talked to me first.

Okay, I'm sorry, this is all
a stupid mistake, are we done?

No, we need to speak to Yago Cabrera.

So where can we reach him?

[Olivia] I think my client has told you
everything he knows.

You're making fools of yourselves.

[upbeat music playing]

[Miranda] Ellis is lying.

But he’s never gonna do anything in public
now he knows that we're watching him.

- Let's go find Cabrera, see what he knows.
- [phone ringing]

Ah, Inés. Hello.

Empar's gone.

I assume you would like uniform
to check her phone location?

Yes, please.

Congratulations. As you expected.

You’re sure it’s the right idea though?

It's not too risky?

I know she’d never let us
get in the way of her doing her job.

And, you know,
if she's back using her phone, then...

[Max] The ping gives us the location.

I do have some rough idea how this works.

And you'd make a terrifying journalist
by the way.

According to her phone ping, Empar
has been in the same location for an hour.

And call log says she’s rang this
same number eight times since Monday.

It's registered to Yago Cabrera.

Yago’s the go-between. He's her source.

He's how she knew
where the Judge was gonna be.

I think he's here.

It's just how do we track him?

There are a thousand places to land
by boat without being seen, so...

Okay, if we can match up the time
of Empar’s calls to Yago,

with arrivals at any hotel in the island
in the last 24 hours,

get up the CCTV. The Judge could be on it.

Okay, but first, go and ask Empar
about this Yago.

I need to talk to them both. Oh--

Si? Hey, hey, Detective Blake.

It's Empar's boyfriend, Mateo.
He's on the phone asking for an update.

- You didn't tell him we found her?
- Well, I thought she would do that.

Just tell him-- Tell him
we're on our way to talk to her now.

Oh, I'm really enjoying my new job
as your assistant.

[Miranda] We know Yago is your source.

We have access to your phone records.

Look, we believe you, Empar, okay,
but you’re making yourself a target.

Help us with our investigation.

I can’t help if I’m locked in a room.

Okay, but if we figured it out,
then so will they.

Okay, with the police involved, we can
really turn up the pressure on them.

Tell us where we can find Yago.

I don’t know where he is.
He phones me, we meet.

That's when I know.

You know I must finish what I started.

Enough. For your own safety,
you're under arrest.

No, wait...

[sighs]

There's something else I haven't told you.

They talk about k*lling El Santo.

Their code name for the target.

"The Saint." That has to be Sundberg.

So Ellis Sundberg wants
his own father dead? He's arranged it?

Wouldn't be the first rich boy
to have a problem with daddy.

But maybe it's someone else.

That’s what I’m trying to find out,
so let me, okay?

There's not much time
before the summit begins.

Okay.

[whispers] What are you doing?

Just...

Max.

- You're kidding me.
- Yago Cabrera?

Stop! Palma Police!

Empar! Empar, stop! Stop!

[car alarms wailing]

Empar...

No! No!

Get back!

I mean, Empar knew.

The Judge is on the island,
I was looking right at him.

There is something to discuss.

We're gonna get Ellis Sundberg.

His middleman is dead,
so he's gonna be scared.

- Detective!
- And if Yago set up the link

then the Judge is going to be
clearing up all the loose ends.

I think Ellis is way out of his depth.

- Miranda!
- [knocking on door]

Inspector Villegas.

DI Turner.

Detectives.

You're here to run our investigation now?

Our priority is catching the assassin.

The summit launch is this evening.
We have a little over five hours

before the Sundberg compound
is filled with potential targets.

Okay... Where do you want us?

Thank you for your case notes, detective.

But this isn’t a collaboration,
it’s a handover.

Well, the case notes aren’t everything.

- We won’t need anything else.
- So no local intelligence?

[Max] Miranda...

Okay.

I don’t want there to be a problem
between us, Miranda.

Okay, look,
just answer me something honestly.

You didn’t have to take over.
You could've worked with us.

That's not what we do.

Okay, and I suppose this has nothing to do
with me turning you down?

You really think I meant that?

[scoffs] Okay. My mistake.

Also, that was a long time ago.

I'd like to think about the now, you know?

Like, what about you, here?
[disparagingly] Mallorca.

I genuinely thought
you’d be, like, top tier.

I don't get it.

Well, maybe I wasn’t as good
at crawling up that career ladder.

Or, maybe they created the phrase

"cop out", just for you.

Mateo...

Very sorry for your loss.

We tried-- We tried to tell her.

She wanted to do her job.

You just had to protect her.

They're taking me to identify her body.

Maybe if you had done your job,

she wouldn't be dead.

[sombre music playing]

I think you're mad
if you don't like this bowl.

But yeah,

why don’t we knock off work for a bit
if you want to look for another one?

Hey, sorry about Mateo.

What he said wasn't... wasn't fair.

Yes, it was.

You know, Max,

you were very quiet back there when Turner
was trying to take our case away from us.

- I-- what?
- Mm.

[scoffs] This isn't Mancuso
coming from Barcelona,

this is INTERPOL.

What do they care
about the local pen pushers?

Yeah, that’s how they see us.
It’s like in that Al Capone movie.

Where the guy says,
"You’re bringing a knife to a gunfight?"

They've got, I don't know, satellites.

We've got phone records. And us.

It's not enough.

And so, what? We just go back
to keeping Mallorca safe,

while a guy I trained with
investigates an assassination.

Of someone we were supposed
to be protecting.

I'm sorry about Empar,

but this here,
I just don't know what to say.

So Mancuso goes back to Barcelona
to head up the next big case.

This jerk, what's his name, Turner,

take our case away, so what?

It doesn’t mean
your life here isn’t enough.

You see, you would say that, though.

You would say that because
you always look for the easy life.

You just come to Mallorca,
you spend half your day cruising around

in your BMW soft top and
the rest of the time, you're in a bar.

Wow. Yeah, that's me exactly.

My whole life. Spooky.

All I'm saying, Max,
is ambition is not a dirty word.

I'm sorry I'm not more like Mancuso.

- Don't be so ridiculous.
- Well, you win the prize for that.

[scoffs]

The ex-pat Brit,
afloat in the Mediterranean.

Too delicate for the savage locals
to understand,

but too important to join in
with their culture,

but always, always judging them--

Yeah, well at least people
take me seriously.

You even managed
to screw things up with Carmen!

She knew that if she stuck around,

that you two would still be drifting along


How's that going by the way? The break.

Have you even spoken to her
since she left?

[poignant music playing]

You know what?

You had the chance
to go back to your old life

and you turned it down.

That was your choice.

You know what the difference is
between you and me?

I want to be here
more than I want to be anywhere else.

You don't know what the hell you want.

The Judge's past victims
include industrialist, Eric Drayton,

k*lled with a high-powered sn*per r*fle.

The Judge's MO is high-profile victims
in public places.

Like the London and Bilbao incidents.

El Santo is the code name
for the new potential target.

And we only have three hours
until the summit launch.

Close the door, please, would you?

Yeah.

Let's find out who's next
on the Judge's list.

[phone chimes]

[sentimental music playing]

CCTV at the San Philip Hotel
picked up this

within two hours of an encrypted call
to Yago Cabrera’s cell phone.

A male figure enters room 706 at 11:15 am.

A chambermaid visits at 11:30,

leaving shortly afterwards.

And then, at 12:15,

a second male figure exits the room.

No CCTV picks him up
entering the hotel before this point.

This is the same man
that checked into room 706,

and he's changed his appearance.

Facial profiling suggests
a match for the Judge.

I’m going to brief the as*ault team.
Good work people. Let's go!

So our case file was useful?

I think we would've got there
on our own, detective.

Oh, we do have something
for the Mallorcan police to do,

as DS Blake was so keen to be involved.

Inés sent me.

They found the Judge.

And they're sending
a team in to get him, so...

we've got a job to do.

What, Turner wants us at the takedown?

Not exactly.

- Gracias.
- [man] Bye.

I mean, this is ridiculous.

I didn’t do my firearms training
to be a damn security guard.

We don't have evidence on Ellis.

And I may not be
a real police officer like you,

but I know what's going to stick in court
and we don't have it.

I never said you weren't

- a real police officer, Ma--
- [Max] Okay, sure.

What are you doing?

They’re about to arrest the guy
who’d be doing all the sh**ting.

Fine.

[Max sighs]

[camera shutters clicking]

[indistinct chatter]

[dramatic music playing]

[Turner] Until the Judge is in custody,

you must remain hyper-vigilant.

Security checks
will detect anything unusual,

but stay on high alert,
the duration of the event.

[sirens wailing]

[camera shutters clicking]

[photographers clamouring]

Go, go, go.

[dramatic music continues]

You're wearing an amazing dress,
where's it from?

Don't ask me about the dress.

[Turner] as*ault team separate
and proceed with caution.

We're doing terrible damage to the planet.
Write about that.

[Turner] The Judge must be stopped
before he can leave the hotel.

Do what she says. Write about it.

Lila, how are you doing?

[Turner] If the Judge infiltrates
the grounds, it's over.

[dramatic music playing]

[Turner] Remember, target is armed
and highly dangerous.

[shouting in Spanish]

- Secure him.
- [groans]

[police officers speaking Spanish]

[sighs]

[indistinct chatter]

The Judge is in custody.

Where are you going?

Hey.

The as*ault team
have arrested the assassin.

That's good. Fantastic.
My father would like to know that.

Two people are dead
and you wanted to k*ll more.

Something to tell us?

We’ve been doing this for a long time.

You don't walk away
from having people k*lled.

I had nothing to do with that.

I guess we should just be grateful
that Empar didn’t have any children.

I don't know about Yago.

- Did you know him well enough to ask--
- No!

No.

You didn't plan that did you?

I would never have people k*lled.

You didn't know, so...

So who organised it?
Who else is involved in this?

Maybe there was an idea
for a publicity stunt.

Someone got hired,
someone very good at their job

to take a shot at a VIP.

So it would bring attention to the cause.

- So you arranged a publicity stunt.
- It was arranged.

You mean a fake assassination
of your father planned by you and him?

Maybe, but the original plan got hijacked,

- so it would be an actual death.
- Who hijacked it?

Well, it doesn't matter.

Does it? I mean it's over.

If that woman's in custody,
it's over, right?

If what? What did you just say?

What woman?

[suspenseful music playing]

[Ellis] A woman was hired
to take the shot.

That's all I know.

[Miranda] What about the Judge?

[Ellis] It was his job to provide the g*n
and get it inside.

Who's the target?

- Your father?
- I, I don't know.

People that you're working with
had access to your contacts

and they're using them against you.

If you're not in control of this,
someone else is, so who can stop it?

[Miranda] Ellis.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Ellis] I want my lawyer.

Can we get someone on the roof?

There's already someone up there,
it's more than enough.

The Judge wasn't working alone, Inés.

He has a female accomplice,
she's here somewhere

and we don't know what she looks like,

so we need to use the rooftop
as high ground.

Okay. Okay.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Max] Don't be a martyr, okay?

[scoffs] Why would I be a martyr?

I haven't found anything that I'd die for.

At least Empar died for her cause.

Hang on, El Santo.

She said the target
was called El Santo. Saint.

Well, saints are martyrs, right?

He wanted a martyr for his cause
from the very beginning.

Sundberg.

He wanted a real death
to put his cause on the news

all over the world.

But who's his target?

One of his billionaire friends?

Or a movie star.

[Max] Someone the world would miss.

Lila Beck. She’s the only target
that makes sense, Max.

So what do we do?

I’ll check out the high ground.
You stay here.

- Guess that's the only thing we can do.
- Hey!

You promise me, nothing heroic.

We do our jobs,
we go back to hating each other.

Yeah?

Okay.

[suspenseful music playing]

Guard down. Guard down.

Police, drop your weapon!

- [g*nshots]
- [guests screaming]

[Miranda] Shots fired, requesting backup.

No, no, don't panic, we'll go this way.

- [g*nsh*t]
- [gasps]

- I told you.
- Get off me!

[g*nshots continue]

[dramatic music playing]

[g*nsh*t]

[Miranda] Max!

Max!

[Miranda gasping]

You always look for the easy life.

At least people take me seriously.

I never said you weren't
a real police officer.

[breathing heavily]

Stand still!
Stand still or I'll sh**t you!

You are under arrest.

Come on, come with me, come with me.

[grunts]

[g*nsh*t]

[gasping]

Ma--

[panting]

I thought you were dead.

Seemed like the better idea.

[exhales]

Nothing's ever enough for you.

Looks like we're gonna have to try
and save the world without you.

Well, good luck with that detective.

You and the hand-wringers driving hybrids.

That will stop global warming.

So, we sorted out that mess for you
DI Turner.

Well done, detective.

Don't worry, Robbie.

Back to being a cop-out
tomorrow again, I'm sure.

So this is where you tell me
you’re happy I’m not dead?

I'm not, not happy.

I, erm...

I said some pretty mean things.

- You made me a little mad, so--
- Apology accepted.

I'm sorry.

Oh, you have some dust here.

So you're just sitting here

thinking about how I nearly died.

Yeah.

Actually, no, I was, erm...

I was wondering how it felt.

My life didn’t play like a mini-movie.

But if you're asking,

did I realise what was important to me,

I think so.

[voice breaking] I think I did too.

[sobbing and laughing] I mean,

imagine the hell
of trying to get used to a new partner.

- Yeah.
- Oof.

Life is too short for that.

Yeah.

I honestly don't think you could do it.

Finding someone to put up
with your weird little ways.

My weird little ways?

Do you want the list alphabetical, or...
