02x06 - Episode 6

[bunniefuu]

I uncoverrd 27 companies
with the same address.

- Shell companies?
- Exactly.

Bran-X Industries
own properties.

This is bricks and mortar.
- Let's dust for expl*sives.

- It's reading positive.
- It's a b*mb-making factory.

There's nothing linking this
building to Richard Melnick.

We need to find another
way of breaking Hearst.

You're being transferred to
the Counterterrorist Unit.

Take you hands off me, please.
Ah! I'm not a f*cking t*rror1st!

It is too dangerous.

You don't make decisions,

you do as you're told.

They can get to anyone.

As long as you don't talk,

our families will be safe.

Richard Melnick
had a mole in CTU.

You thought it was me.

I couldn't take any chances.

Bibi was our only witness.

I told you to bring
Arthur to Ireland!

I told you these
people were dangerous

and you didn't believe me!

You're right, James
was collateral damage.

The hit-and-run was a ploy.

This was all to
get her to Antwerp.

It's a trap.

We're not gonna make it.

They don't land for
another 25 minutes.

Not a chance. I'll call
Vince to go and meet them.

No.

Vince is an as*h*le, OK,

but he's not a
snitch, I trust him.

Well, I don't.

If you're right about
Bibi being lured here,

she needs armed protection
at that airport,

and we're not going
to be there in time.

So, we either leave her
exposed and vulnerable,

or we have Vince
meet her and Sean,

and take them to the safe house.

This can't get around the CTU.

I'll make sure Vince
knows to be very discreet.

OK.

Subtitles.

Vince has collected Bibi
and Sean from the airport.

They're on their way here now.

We still have time to
call for armed support

and secure the whole area.

You agreed, we keep this small.

Every time we share information
with your department,

it gets leaked.

I want as few people
as possible knowing

where Bibi's going
to be staying. OK?

Yeah, OK.

Subtitles.

Subtitles.

They'll be here any minute.

Get Vince to pull the car

up to the front door,
the closer the better.

Ah!

f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!

Stay down low, you'll be fine.

Anyone sees where
it's coming from?

He was on the roof,
across the street.

You're alright, Mila?

I can't see anyone up there.

It was the second building

on the corner.

He's gone.

He's trying to escape.

Mila, you come with me.
- I'll come too!

You stay until DSU arrives.

Make sure Ms. Brannigan
is protected and safe.

OK.

How long until armed
support gets here?

Ten minutes.

Hey! Police, stop!

Police, stop or I sh**t!

Raise your hands!

Turn around!

Put the bag on the ground.

You did well, Mila.

Now you need to be strong, OK?

Ah!

It's Mila.

Mila!

He was waiting for
us when we came out.

He shot Christian and hit me.

Here. Get that into you.

Ah, you're a lifesaver.

You need to see this.

What is it? What's happened?

Boss.

Yeah?

Bibi's refusing to go
to the new safe house.

I don't have time
to argue with you.

Then don't.

We're all just trying
to keep you safe.

Ha! Ha! Doing a pretty
sh*t job at this.

That's the second
time someone missed me

because they shot at me
whilst I've been in your care.

I warned you we
couldn't trust the CTU.

It may have slipped
your attention,

but the head of that unit just
lost his life to protect yours.

How did the g*nman know
we were coming here?

It hasn't been established yet.

If you were me, would
you put your life

in the hands of the CTU?

Probably not.

I have to see my son

and I need to be
sure we're safe.

We'll stay at James' apartment,
he'll feel secure there.

Sean can stay with you,

but he can't be armed
here in Belgium.

I've hired private security.

If there are any problems,

call me.

Will do.

Vince.

The attempted sh**ting of Bibi
in Ireland was also a sn*per

from a distance, just like this,
and we know it was Aubrey Cline.

- It wasn't Cline this time.
- But the MO is the exact same.

Yeah, but Mila saw the sh**ter.

She was able to give us

a detailed description
of the man.

This is the person
we're looking for.

That's not Cline.

I need to talk to Hearst
to see what he knows.

You'll have to wait

until I'm free to
sit in with you.

- Hearst is a CAB prisoner.
- But he's in our custody.

Yeah, but that was just
to put pressure on him.

Regardless, you
can't interview him

without a senior
member of CTU present.

Our priority right now is
the m*rder of Christian.

But it's all linked.

Hearst, Christian's k*ller,
Richard Melnick, Trestford,

the sale of the port.

- We don't know that.
- Of course, we do!

That g*nman was trying
to k*ll Bibi Brannigan!

The sale of the port
closes tomorrow.

If Christian was here,
he would want us to do

everything in our power
to stop that happening.

But he's not here, I am.

And my priority is
catching the person

who k*lled Christian,
nothing else.

- But how can you even...
- There is no but.

That is my decision
as the acting chief.

Henry, I assume
you heard the news.

We did not sign off on k*lling

a senior police officer.

This was unintended.

Bibi Brannigan was the target.

It's making people
nervous, Frances.

All attention is now focussed
on catching De Jong's k*ller.

That will keep the police
occupied until after

the port transfer has been
signed tomorrow evening.

The port is the objective,

we can't lose sight of that.

Any loose ends can
be dealt with after.

I hope your confidence
is not misguided.

It's not, trust me.

Let me know if anything changes.

How did the g*nman know

that's where Bibi was going?

I think there is a leak in CTU.

What? Why?

Bibi claims that
Richard Melnick said

he had a source inside CTU.

That's how they were staying
ahead of the investigation.

A leak in CTU would
explain a lot.

I decided to keep it
quiet so as not to tip off

the mole that we're onto them.

So, who in CTU knew where
you were taking Bibi today?

Christian, who then told Vince,

who brought Mila with him.

The same Vince who's
denying us access to Hearst

and has shut down
the investigation

into the port sale?

We're on our own for now.

Hearst may be out of reach,
but I have an idea of how

to get to Richard
Melnick's financials.

- How?
- Come with me.

She might not wanna talk to us,

but it's worth the try.

Claire Wallace?

We've spoken before
on the phone.

I'm Passent Hussein,
Vandaag newspaper.

I was hoping we could talk.

This is not a good time.

I've just got some questions
I'd like to ask you.

Put them in writing, send
them to press@garda.ie.

They'll get to me eventually.

Chief Inspector De Jong was
happy to speak to me earlier.

About what?

About Viktor Maes,
Richard Melnick,

the sale of the port
to Niskus Group,

the review into Trestford.

If Christian told
you everything,

what do you need me for?

He asked me not to run the story

on Viktor Maes' links
to Richard Melnick.

Why would he do that?

He said it might derail

an active investigation

into events around
the sale of the port.

He asked me to hold the story

in return for an exclusive.

Off the record?

Absolutely.

What Christian told
you is correct.

But that investigation
has now been put on ice

by the new acting chief of CTU.

Why would he do that?

The deal is being
signed tomorrow.

Maybe that's a question
you should be asking

in your newspaper.

Name, please.

DS Claire Wallace,

but we've already been through
this with the guys outside.

- Yes, can you check Detective...
- It's OK.

OK. Please.

How is she?

Happier now she has
Arthur with her.

Does he know what
happened to his father?

I think she's telling him now.

The last time I
spoke to your dad,

he told me how much
he loved you...

more than anything.

And he'll be looking down
on you now from Heaven

and see what a
brave boy you are.

I'm really sorry to interrupt,

but there's something we
need to discuss with you.

Can't it wait?

I think you're gonna
want to hear this.

Why don't I take Arthur and
get him something to eat?

I think I saw some
pizza in the fridge.

OK.

I'll be right here if
you need me, darling, OK?

Come on, buddy.

What is so important?

We thought you should know

that the investigation
has been put on hold.

Why?

CTU are focussing on catching.

Chief Inspector De
Jong's m*rder*r.

Does that mean the
sale of the port

will go through tomorrow?

It looks like it.

Everything that's happened,

the bombings, the
murders, everything,

is all because Trestford
wants that port.

And now, they're gonna get
it! They're gonna f*cking win!

It's not what we want either.

Do you know how much I've risked

to help you get them?

Those people have
tried to k*ll me!

They've attacked my family!

My brother is dead!
James is dead!

And you're gonna stand there

and shrug your shoulders
like it doesn't matter!

We don't have evidence
directly connecting.

Trestford to the crimes.

What about Hearst?!

Surely you got
something from him!

He's been kept at CTU.

We no longer have access to him.

Well, Richard's driver then!

You said he was the one
who tried to k*ll me!

Can't you use that against him?

Frances Swann is claiming
that he was hired privately

by your father-in-law,

and that Trestford never had
any direct dealings with him.

There must be
something you can do!

The person we keep coming
back to is Richard.

He was at the
centre of all this,

but we've never been
able to gain access

to any of his accounts.

If you could help
us with that...

I don't have access
to Richard's finances.

No, but if James is

the sole heir to his
father's entire estate,

there must be a will

detailing what that
estate comprises.

Are you joking?

I don't see any other way.

Subtitles.

Let's hope he remained
a creature of habit.

There it is.

There are dozens and
dozens of appendices

of all Richard's assets
and business interests.

Do you mind if I have a look?

We're all after the
same thing, Bibi.

These are all the
companies he has shares in.

It's pages and pages of them.

We need to go through
these carefully one by one

and see if anything here
matches Hearst's files.

- Hi, Mila.
- Hi, Josh.

Jesus! Are you OK?

It looks a lot worse than it is.

I was just checking in to
see how you were getting on

with Richard Melnick's phone.

Nothing of interest so far.

Yes. That was my
experience too.

Listen, are you
on your own there?

Yeah, I'm in a stairwell.

OK. Look, this may be nothing,

just a gut feeling,

but something feels off
about Melnick's phone.

The stuff on it is so lacking

in any personality.

It almost feels curated.

Is there a chance someone could
have tampered with the phone,

wiped it of anything
incriminating

to throw us off track?

No.

It's more likely that
Richard Melnick knew

to leave nothing
incriminating on it.

And I was responsible
for the phone

after it was handed in.

And then I gave it to you.

So, no one tampered with it.

I have to go.

Of course. Don't worry.

This is not what I agreed to.

My commanding officer is dead!

I'm done!

I'm out!

Mila, you've been paid
very well for your service.

You are done when the
port deal is signed,

not a moment before that.

Don't forget what could
happen to your mother.

Here, look at this.

There's a list of
Declaration of Trust.

Remember that apartment
Darren Reid bought

for your brother in Antwerp?

Yes.

Well, the title deeds were
in Darren Reid's name,

but there was also a
Declaration of Trust stating

that Reid was only
holding the apartment

in trust for Fionn.

So, what are these for?

Four properties in Antwerp

held in trust for
Richard Melnick

all in the name of Chessa Reyes.

Chessa?

Chessa is Arthur's nanny.

If Chessa's holding property
in trust for Richard, then...

It's to hide the fact that
Richard owns these properties.

Boss.

Uh, can I have a word?

What's up, Josh?

I think Mila is the leak in CTU.

Why?

Mila called me

and I mentioned
Richard Melnick's phone

because the data
on it felt wrong,

like it'd been
carefully cleaned.

And when I asked her if she
thought it could've been

deliberately tampered with,

she assumed I was talking
about after it was handed in.

The natural assumption would
be that James Melnick wiped it

before he handed it in,

but that's not what she thought.

It's hardly a smoking g*n.

So then I checked the
ROM files, which control

the operating system, work
flow, user authentication...

Yeah, yeah, we don't
need the details, Josh.

They indicate that the
last recorded actions

before I got the phone,
were all delete commands.

Meaning data was deleted.

This was a sophisticated job.

And Mila was responsible
for the phone

after it was handed in.

We need a word with you.

Is this about this
bullshit story in the paper

about us shutting down
the investigation?

It's all true, isn't it?

We just lost a friend
and a colleague,

so I'm not gonna apologize
for trying to find his k*ller

above everything else.

Then, you might want to
hear what I have to say.

Follow me.

This better be important.

At the very beginning
of this investigation,

we received information
that Trestford had

a mole within your department

who was leaking information.

That's ridiculous.

Every time there's
a breakthrough,

someone gets there ahead of us.

Just look at what happened
with Rojas, Ortiz,

Daniel Katz.

The pattern's very clear.

I trust everyone on my team.

That's exactly what Christian
said when I told him about this.

He especially trusted you.

That's why he asked you
to collect Bibi Brannigan

at the airport, and tell no one.

But still, the g*nman
managed to be there waiting

in position when Bibi arrived.

He had to have been tipped off.

I hope you're not f*cking
suggesting that I did that.

No, I'm not.

You're gonna have to
wait here a minute.

Mila.

Where's your phone?

Unlock it.

Nothing I can see right now,

but if you give me time,
I can do a deep dive.

We have to check her computer.

Yeah, of course,
it's over there.

Give me your bag.

Unlock it.

Check the messages.

Most of the messages
are deleted.

The last one sent says...

"We're taking her to
Lange Gasthuisstraat 37."

I can't believe I'm
saying this, Mila,

but you are under arrest

for your part in the m*rder
of Christian De Jong.

Ah.

Thank you.

Any luck?

Not so far.

I don't have time to go
through all this thoroughly.

So, I have a list of companies

we haven't been able
to trace ownership of.

I'm checking if they match
anything on this list...

Want another pair of eyes?

OK.

And it's not just exact
matches you're looking for,

but fragments of names.

When people are setting up
lots of shell companies,

they usually use variations
on a single name,

like Glen William, Glen
Jones, Glen Thomas and...

But I guess you know
all about that already.

Well?

The phone Mila was texting
is a pay-as-you-go phone

registered to a false name.

- Hmm.
- Can we pinpoint its location?

We can probably triangulate
a rough location,

but it won't be done by today.

And we can't question Mila

until her lawyer is here.

I'm not sure how much we
can trust anything she says.

I believe the suspect
description she gave

for Christian's k*ller is false

and designed to mislead.

I think the person we should
be looking for is Aubrey Cline.

And I have every police
officer in Belgium

looking for someone
who doesn't even exist.

Maybe that's good for us.

If Cline doesn't know
we're looking for him,

he'll feel more secure.

It's one way of looking at it.

What's always bothered me

about Cline is how he can
turn up, commit these crimes,

and then completely
fall off the radar.

How does he disappear?

Where is he hiding?

You have a theory?

We know that Richard
Melnick arranged safe houses

for the bombers to stay in

before they carried
out the bombings.

When we were going
through his estate,

we found four properties

with title deeds under the name

of Arthur Melnick's nanny.

They were just being held
in trust for Melnick.

You have the addresses
for these properties?

I'm not handing these over

and having you lock us
out of the case again.

OK, you can come
with us to get Cline,

but it's my arrest.

And in return, you let
us question Hearst?

Agreed.

In just over two hours,

they're signing the
contract for the port.

You want to stop
Trestford? We move now.

I think I may have found
a possible connection.

Here, between one of
Richard's companies,

Scarpia and a company
on your watch list:

Bran-X Industries.

Bran-X.

That's a shell company
who owns a warehouse

where we found evidence
of a b*mb-making factory.

Then, I think we should check
it against these ones as well:

Altoum Limited,

Buoso Limited

and Lastouc Limited.

Scarpia is a
character from Tosca.

Altoum, Buoso and Lastouc
are all characters

from Puccini operas too.

Richard loved his opera.

Of course, he did.

Ms. Swann. Ms. Swann,
do you wish to comment

on the ongoing investigation
into corruption involving

Viktor Maes, Richard Melnick

and the sale of Port of Antwerp

to Trestford and
Niskus Group Limited?

That is a question
for Viktor Maes.

Copy that.

We've had dozens of media
requests for interviews.

I don't want any
interviews today.

You'll have to make
some kind of statement.

I suggest that we pick maybe

two or three
prestigious newspapers,

like the Financial Times
and the Wall Street Journal

for one on ones,

and then, just give a couple
of television interviews too.

For the rest, we can issue
a blanket press release.

Sorry. We are ready
for you on stage.

Perfect.

Thanks, Norah.

I'll talk to you later.

One of Richard's
companies owns the land

of the warehouse where we found

the b*mb-making equipment.

So, we have an evidential
link between Richard Melnick

and last year's t*rror1st attacks?
- Exactly.

Is it enough to stop the deal?

I doubt it.

Swann and Trestford
are gonna argue

that Richard Melnick operated
alone and independently.

Nothing to do with them.

Yeah.

This is block two.

Block one is the
building across.

Oh. Sorry about that.

OK. Thank you. Bye-bye.

Target is inside.

Move in!

Go, go!

Subtitles.

- Clear!
- Clear!

Subtitles. - Clear!
- Clear!

Clear!

The target escaped from rear!

Put your weapon down!

I said put your hands up!

I won't ask again!

Put your g*n down

and raise your hands!

OK.

Target down.

And you sign the
contract over here

on behalf of Niskus
Group Limited.

And then you look out
at the press and smile.

And that's all there is to it.

Uh, not long.

We're going to start
letting people in now.

Great.

Inspect this table
for fingerprints.

OK, I'll do it.

Different identities.

It's all him.

Can I get a photo
of these bank cards?

Of course.

Thank you.

Josh.
- Yeah.

I just sent you some
bank account details.

I need you to check them out.

Hang on, it won't take long.

Sure, I can wait.

- Hey.
- Your badge, madam.

- Thank you, Vicky.
- And these?

Yeah, we'll go through
that later, OK?

OK.

They're saying 10 minutes.

Hmm, hmm.

This is an amazing achievement.

It's taken a long
time to get here.

You should try to enjoy it.

You're right. I will.

Do you hear that?
- What?

The sirens.

What's this?

Frances Swann, you
are under arrest

for suspicion of m*rder
by joint enterprise,

perverting the course
of justice and fraud.

This is ludicrous.

Do you know Aubrey Cline?

Like I said, he was Richard
Melnick's private driver.

We have evidence that you
signed off on payments

made to a number of bank
accounts held by Aubrey Cline.

These payments came from a
Trestford subsidiary company.

- I wanna see my lawyer.
- Bring her in!

- I wanna see my lawyer.
- Take her away.

- Get your hands off me!
- This can't be true!

What's going on, Frances?

How was Richard
Melnick involved?

Ms. Swann, what do you
say to these allegations?

- Do you have any comments?
- No.

Of course, I feel vindicated.

We have been shouting for weeks

for a review of Trestford
and Niskus Group's bid.

But I've spoken directly
to Mayor Peeters

and he has assured me that,
following today's events,

any agreement with
Trestford and Niskus Group

is null and void.

So, I'm very confident

that our consortium will be
stepping into first position

and the sale will be
closed within weeks.

Thank you very much.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Hearst.

I'm Norah Dillon from the
Irish Criminal Assets Bureau.

No, no, no. If you
want to interview me,

I want a lawyer here.

Oh, I'm not here
to question you,

I'm here to help you.

I doubt that.

We have a paper trail

that links Richard
Melnick through you

to the warehouse where last
year's bombs were made.

Frances Swann,

Richard's successor
at Trestfort,

has been arrested on m*rder
and terrorism charges.

The sale of Antwerp Port
to Trestford is cancelled.

Look, I'm just an accountant,

a businessman,

nothing else.

It doesn't matter.

You helped facilitate
a t*rror1st campaign

that led to the k*lling
of dozens of people.

You're looking at
multiple life sentences.

But help us,

and we can have those
charges reduced.

It doesn't matter.

If I talk to you,
they will k*ll me.

We can protect you.

No, no, no, you can't.

Not from these people.

If you give me
your Irish clients,

I know they're not the
ones you're afraid of...

than I can make the
case for reduced charges

and talk to CTU about
witness protection.

Only the Irish ones?

Yes.

Vince was just telling us
Mila has decided to cooperate

with the investigation.

- She's distraught.
- Yeah, she should be.

And we can use that.

She was just foolish, Josh.

They've asked her for a
small favour to begin with.

And once you do that,
they've got you.

Trapped.

Mila fooled all of us, Josh.

Her life is over
and she knows it.

Helping us now, it's
all she has left.

Dealing with Mila
after what she's done,

it can't be easy.

I need her to build the case
against Swann and Trestford.

One thing that
doesn't make sense:

she's claiming they had nothing
to do with the computer hacks.

Maybe she's trying to limit
the charges against her?

With what we already have,
admitting to that wouldn't make

any difference to her sentence.

Do you think someone else
was involved in all of this?

Like who?

Look,

today is about Christian.

We got the people
behind the bombings.

I think he'd be happy with that.

- Yeah.
- Sure.

- Yeah.
- Slainte.

Slainte.

To Christian.

To Christian.

I'll be right back, sweety.

OK, mom.

Have you got what you owe me?

All the details are on there.

The diamonds are spread
across 16 banks vaults.

What about Siobhan and the kids?

Their money has been transferred

to the agreed
accounts in Barbados.

You've done very
well out of this.

How many billions is

your company going to
make from this port deal?

Exactly.

If it wasn't for me,

Trestford would
now own that port.

I showed you how to do this.

I let you blow up my car
and k*ll my father-in-law.

I think 400 million is a
small price for all of that.
