01x01 - Where's My Money

[bunniefuu]

[Nina] Uh, yes, well, I think so, yeah.

That means it's ill*gal and it's handled

at the international level, yeah.

Yeah, you're right. I'll add that part.

Yeah. Let me get back to the

Um

Well, since the Panama Papers

How hard can it be? Let me do that again.

-[recordist] You want to do it again?

-Yeah.

They've been referred to

as shell companies. Big CEOs

I'm going to do that line again.

I'll get it. I promise.

-You ever been on the mic before?

-I'll go one more time.

Or, well,

since the Panama Papers, the banks

the big banks and the trust agencies

agree with each other, yeah.

The ultimate beneficial owner,

UBO for short.

-From the top?

-From the top.

OK.

Let's talk about taxes. What do you say?

Newspapers report this every day.

The Netherlands is a tax haven.

But you might think,

"I'm paying a fortune in taxes.

But who are those people

not paying their taxes?"

Well, that's your first mistake.

Those aren't people. They're companies.

Limited liability corporations that are

established in the Cayman Islands,

the Bahamas, Guernsey,

Luxembourg, or the Netherlands.

-Good morning, ladies and gents.

-[team] Good morning.

We're about to raid an online

gambling site, as everyone's aware.

It's called Safe Betting.

My name is Lars van Deurnen.

I'm your team leader.

In the back of the room,

we have Sylvia van Maele.

Sylvia is today's public prosecutor.

-Say hi

-Hello.

If you break the law,

-please do it while she's not looking.

-[laughter]

We are going to be confiscating

written records, hard disks

[hums "Ride of The Valkyries"

by Richard Wagner]

laptops, computers, phones

or my all-time favorite score, cash money.

[laughter]

Now, people, let's go.

-[agent] Alright, let's do this.

-[murmuring]

[Nina] Why the Netherlands, specifically?

Because those companies get to benefit

from our convenient tax rules,

for instance, by means of a shell company.

And a shell company is a mailing address,

a bank account number,

and a couple of directors.

Nothing else. Is all of that legal?

Well, it sort of depends on

who's doing it.

If the CEO's doing it, or royalty,

or world-famous pop stars,

it's called tax avoidance

and it's morally dubious,

but completely legal.

But that in turn

attracts the wrong kind of people,

such as oligarchs or drug dealers,

and then it's called tax evasion.

Or worse, money laundering.

And that is ill*gal.

And for several years now,

they've come down hard on this.

Let's go.

[exhales]

[Kim] Good morning.

We're here for Safe Betting.

Here you go.

[Kim] Yeah, Sylvia, we're in,

but there's no one around.

So what do we do?

Just go in.

Jurjen Beekman?

Uh, yeah?

Van Deurnen.

-Can I help you?

-Well [sighs] yeah.

Uh, we are here,

led by the public prosecutor,

to perform a technical search.

-Oh.

-Yeah.

You're not obliged to answer,

but, um are you the director

of the online gambling site Safe Betting?

Your corporate tax filings from last year

show that you had revenues

of around 9.3 million.

Could have been, sure.

Well [chuckles]

-Where are your colleagues?

-Everyone works online.

Yes, you're right, but I also read

that you are the director

of another 124 other corporations.

Poof, that's crazy.

-You know, let me call the accountant.

-Put your phone down right now.

There.

You are suspected of falsifying

information on tax filings

and money laundering.

I see you have a safe over there.

-Yeah.

-And do you have a key for it?

-What's in it?

-I don't know.

[chuckles] That's weird.

Well, we're about to open it.

You can stand over there.

My colleague will be here in a minute.

Come on in now, guys.

[agent] Go! Go! Go!

[indistinct chattering]

-[agent 1] Standing by. Waiting for signal

-[agent 2] Yeah.

-[agent 3] One-five-alpha, out.

-[agent 4] Two-five-seven, over.

[agent 3] Override.

[agent 2] Copy, proceed, alpha.

[Kim] Thank you for your cooperation, sir.

This way, guys.

[agent 3]

All units be advised, code 7-4-9.

[woman] Hey, Sylvia.

Uh, Sabine de Wolff,

trust agency Trust Visions, Amsterdam.

-How'd you get here so quickly?

-You're wrong about this.

-Oh, yeah?

-Yeah.

Well, that's the first time

I've heard that.

We just got off the phone

with someone at your office.

-Your boss can better lay out everything.

-I have no boss.

Congratulations. [chuckles]

-I've got one.

-[phone vibrates]

Oh, look. I think that's him now.

Ed.

Come on. But we just got here.

Yeah

Nobody mentioned anything

to me about this. If

OK.

Alright, fine.

[indistinct chattering]

-Copy. Hi, Syl.

-We have to go.

-Huh?

-Yeah, the chief attorney just called.

Um, wrong address.

Yup.

Uh, hey, guys, looks like the prosecutor

wants to get out early, so pack up.

Wait a minute. What?

I've got it all figured out here!

You'll have to talk to Sylvia yourself.

No. Keep going.

Uh, sorry, I really can't hear you

with all the noise here!

Lars, stop.

g*dd*mn it.

[power tool whirs]

[power tool stops]

I said stop.

[Nina] Yeah, we're doing our best

in the Netherlands.

The problem is that it can be hard to tell

the difference between a shell company

belonging to a drug dealer and one

belonging to a friendly head of state.

Alright, this was "Where's my Money?"

for now.

I was your host Nina Jacobs.

If you're confused by everything

we've discussed,

that's precisely the point of it.

THREE DAYS LATER

PUBLIC PROSECUTION SERVICE THE HAGUE

[approaching footsteps]

Ms. Van Maele, hello. I was told

not to pass up working with you.

So, uh, yeah, I already said

I can get to work right away.

-[Sylvia] Help me out, because, uh

-Oh, no, yeah, I'm Daniel.

-Today's my first day on the job.

-[chuckles]

-You remember my job application. c*m-ex.

-Excuse me?

Yeah, I wrote my thesis on dividend

arbitrage trading practices and fraud.

You said you were going to read it.

-Oh, yeah. I don't need an assistant.

-[elevator beeps]

Oh.

-Come on.

-Yeah.

Alright. As we know,

we didn't really learn anything

since we weren't able

to obtain any documents or evidence.

We could ask the public prosecution

service to take another look--

[Lars] Five months' work.

And our public prosecutor

gets a single phone call

Yeah, that's a shame.

[sighs]

Syl we still have that gambling site's

incorrect corporate tax filing, right?

We've got no documents from those guys,

but we can request some data.

Lars, just let it go.

Seriously, that one's done.

-There's always next time.

-Hey. You don't have to do anything.

You know that, right?

-Simply give the order.

-Yeah.

And then we grab the data. It's all--

Aren't the instructions clear?

We stay away.

[Lars] Yeah, like you'd ever do anything

that's against the rules, right, Sylvia?

Mea culpa, it's my fault. I didn't notice

in time that you were raiding those guys.

This Trust Visions, they're the good guys.

Can you explain to me why 120 corporations

are registered at the same address?

What about it is confusing?

Large amounts of cash are funneled

through the Cayman Islands.

-That's not ill*gal.

-It should be.

Are you an activist now or what?

Then vote for another party.

Those guys have been a help

with the Russians and the sanctions.

As soon as something looks off,

they're on the phone to us.

Well, that's helpful.

Yeah and that is why you shouldn't

destroy the whole relationship

over a few million euros in revenue.

-Is that insane?

-Sorry, what is Trust Visions?

Hi. Ed Koppers. And you are?

Daniel. [clears throat]

Ah, well, got a surprise for you.

The folks at the national office are

looking for a new chief public prosecutor

and they asked me if I knew someone

and I said, "Well, Sylvia's the best."

She's brilliant. She's unbelievable.

OK.

You'd have to, of course,

send an official application.

-And what is it? Drugs?

-Yeah.

But isn't that what you want?

More money, a higher position? Well

I thought that would make you happy.

Yeah, yeah, I am. Of course.

-Who's replacing me, then?

-Uh, yeah.

I got to figure something out first,

because I've got a problem on my hands.

Marcus?

Marcus is good, yeah. Do you think

he's good? He seems like a sweet kid.

[clinking of crockery]

Thank you. No, we can get it ourselves.

We've got hands. [chuckles]

Alright,

well, then, I'll send you the email.

And then, uh, you'll need to write

a quick letter before Friday.

Listen. I'm going to ask you

to pay close attention.

You'll be in charge of the transition

once Sylvia's moved on.

-What happened over there?

-Well, I believe I was just fired, Daniel.

Oh.

-Are you OK?

-Uh-huh.

-Hey, Sylvia.

-Hey, Marcus.

-[static crackle]

-[man] Has it been taken care of?

[Ed] I think so.

We don't want that happening again.

[Ed] No, Sylvia always does exactly

what is asked of her.

[Sylvia] Go and get some coffee, uh

-Daniel.

-Yeah, Daniel. Yeah?

That's not the reason they hired me,

but I can get some coffee, OK?

So? [clears throat]

Yeah, my client sent me to discuss

some additional things here with you.

We've informed your firm

that we are dropping the whole case.

And these are?

Invoices.

The safes, cleaning,

our travel costs as well.

240 euros for parking spaces.

[laughs] You guys are shameless for sure.

Remember me, Sylvia?

We were both junior associates

at Meijerhoff.

-Oh, uh?

-Sabine.

Uh, Sabine, yeah, sure.

Yeah, yeah, sure, sure. Yeah. Sorry.

-Oh, it's fine.

-[nervous chuckle]

Now I'm with the bad guys. [chuckles]

Your words.

[chuckles]

Well, it was nice to see you.

[Sabine clears throat]

[Sabine] Take a good look, if you like.

Yoo-hoo!

[Julius] Guten Tag.

Hey.

Are you getting enough rest

with all that cramming?

Mm.

You're not studying?

Nein. Ich habe das jetzt getan, Mutti.

If you have an early class,

it's easier to sleep at your dad's place

Ich gehen Vati morgen nacht.

-You doing a little performance?

-I'm speaking German, Mom.

-Ah!

-Can't you tell?

Is that German?

-Yeah, yeah.

-[bottles clank]

[chuckles]

Now, come on.

Move it or you'll be up too late.

[grunts]

-Working too hard?

-No, I'm alright.

OK.

Alright, I'm out.

See you, honey. Mm.

Tsk.

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTS

[ringing tone]

-[music in background]

-[Sabine] Hello.

Sabine, hi. Sylvia van Maele here.

Oh, hey.

Yeah, hi.

Hey, um, I was looking at these invoices.

It looks like some of this might

actually go to someone else.

No, it's correct. It's for you.

Alright, well,

I'm a bit confused about this.

I was actually hoping you could handle it

from here without me.

I can't help you any further.

[disconnect tone]

[sighs]

[phone rings]

Sylvia.

You said I was shameless,

but I'm not the bad one here.

Having a little party, Sabine?

Yeah, I just walked outside. [sighs]

Funny. I'd always it was you

who'd end up the k*ller lawyer.

You always seemed so cold.

-Hey, um, I've had a really long day.

-I've got much more.

Much more of what?

I have boxes full.

I don't understand why you suddenly left.

You were so close.

Maybe you should just come see me.

You know,

it could be fun to just catch up.

No, I don't think that's a good idea,

Sabine.

No, I'm sorry. I'm having a bit of

I don't know a depressing evening.

[laughs self-consciously]

Yeah.

I'll, um, text you my address

if you change your mind.

I'll have to see, OK?

-[patter of rain]

-[sighs]

[rumble of thunder]

[breathes heavily]

[heavy sigh]

[sighs]

[phone alert tone]

Forget it.

[newsreader] scheduled protest.

Protests have also been announced,

which are aimed at the Economic Forum

when they meet next week in The Hague.

The Minister of Finance

has already said

Thought this wasn't why you were hired.

[knocking]

Hey.

I'd really like for you to take

a look at something for me.

-What is it?

-I was kind of hoping that you'd know.

I heard you got kicked out.

News gets around

Yeah, this morning they asked us

if we'd object to having

a different public prosecutor.

Did you say something, then?

Eh.

How'd you get this?

[door opens]

Sorry.

Conference room reservations

can be tricky.

[sighs]

One second.

Mm. [exhales]

Yep.

-Alright, glad we can wrap this up.

-I need to ask a few more things.

-Uh, what is this?

-It's a bank statement from

the Bank of Guernsey of the gambling

website called Safe Betting.

You'll see wire transfers on there

to the trust agency,

CNA Corporate Services in Monaco,

led by a certain Martin Heezink.

OK.

It's the amount

that caught our attention.

Those are kind of absurd amounts

for an online casino.

Listen, if it's laundering, you should

speak to the compliance bureau.

It's concerning

where the money is headed.

You need to call

the authorities in Monaco.

We did, but they said that they couldn't

find an ultimate beneficial owner.

Something that's mandatory now.

You really have it out for us, don't you?

-May I ask how you got this?

-No.

Ah, Martin Heezink. I see it.

He's no longer a client here.

His accounts prior to 2016

have all been let go, including this one.

That's why when we saw your firm

arrive at Safe Betting, we were confused.

That address has 124 corporations,

which are all with us.

[soft chuckle]

We're actually doing pretty well.

I'm not saying we're all complete saints,

but new regulations took effect

and we're totally compliant with it all.

And not just that, we do more

than what we're asked to do.

At least, since 2016.

In 2016, I was 17.

[contemptuous chuckle]

Here's what I'll do.

I will view the confidentiality agreement

that we have with this specific account,

collect the information, all the files,

and mail them to you.

Oh, also, where's your colleague?

What's her name again?

-Sabine?

-Yeah.

She felt sick. Didn't come in

-OK.

-Right.

Yeah, uh,

can you come in here for a minute?

Hi.

Hey. Home late.

Yeah. I had a I had

Well, I had a busy day.

Did you take the tram here?

Uh, no. Dad picked me up from school.

-Oh, oof, dang it. Was he annoyed?

-Ask him yourself, Mom.

Hi.

-Where were you?

-Doesn't matter.

Hey, did we get a grade for German yet?

He thinks he failed, but all he needs

is a 3.2 to maintain a 5.5.

OK, super.

So what's this thing with you showing up

on the trust guys' doorstep after all?

The attorney general called

to say they were livid.

Just went in, had some coffee,

then I asked a few more questions.

What questions, Sylvia? They have

the richest clients in the country.

You want to give them a heart attack?

If my going over there gives them

a heart attack, then I can go over more.

Are you trying to be a comedian?

It's not a good look on you.

By the way, I thought

you were writing a job application.

I thought that was just

another brilliant idea of yours.

Your replacement's arranged and you'll be

officially transferred in two weeks.

-[sighs]

-Hey. Don't make it difficult, Sylvia.

That does nobody any good.

And then now

for the sweet ex-husband/good friend.

-[chuckles]

-Love you.

I'll see you.

[door closes]

[exhales]

You've reached Sabine.

Leave your message after the beep.

[beep]

[indistinct chattering]

Hello.

I'm sorry. I can't let you in.

What happened?

Sylvia, thanks for coming.

Show your badge, too.

Yeah.

Oh, sorry, Ms. prosecutor. Go on in.

-[Lars] Yeah, so

-[cop] It's like, uh

[cop] The neighbors heard

some kind of fight last night.

They're been piecing together

whether it was an accident,

or maybe if it was suicide.

Or, uh or something else.

[camera clicks]

[upbeat pop music plays]

[upbeat pop music plays]

Sylvia.

-[female cop] Excuse me, ma'am.

-Hey, think we better go.

I'm, uh Yeah, I'll come over there

in just a second.

-Alright, now. Let's go.

-Yeah.

[cop] Ma'am, hello.

Hello. Hello!

[phone alarm beeps, vibrates]

[sighs]

[Nina] People ask all the time, "Why does

it keep going wrong with the banks

and the trust agencies

and the government?"

And the reason is that

they're all essentially the same people.

Sure, perhaps this year,

someone's the crime fighter

and the other's the criminal, but after

a year of headhunting and networking,

the supervisor can suddenly

become a banker

and the banker suddenly a minister.

These people go to the same universities,

join the same clubs,

and vote for the same party.

They take the same stupid wine courses

and go to the same Bible studies

to find meaning that doesn't exist.

In a museum, they wonder

how expensive the paintings are

and they've bought a seat in the theater

that they never sit in,

all tax deductible.

You never have to envy them,

because they're all living in hell.

The only question is, who knows?

[low murmuring]

[soft funereal music]

[soft sobbing]

-Hey.

-Hi.

-I'm surprised to see you.

-Yeah.

-Yeah. It's funny, right? I mean

-Yeah.

-You kept in touch. I had no idea.

-Not really, no.

Well, I guess we did just a bit

just there towards the end.

[exhales]

-She mentioned you the other day.

-Yeah?

"Sylvia," she said, "is the only one of us

doing something useful." Yeah.

You two both chased after

that professor of what?

-International law, is that what it was?

-Yeah.

[chuckles]

-Did something ever happen?

-He's my kid's father.

-Ah.

-Yeah.

[both chuckle self-consciously]

-I'll see you there.

-Yeah.

[indistinct chattering]

[Nina] Wow, someone woke up.

Just keep writing. Don't mind me.

I literally sent you 365 emails,

but apparently someone has to fall

from the seventh floor before

the public prosecutor wakes up.

-You're the one from the podcast.

-You should speak to Faber.

Check your email. [clicks tongue]

[Nina] On one hand, you have

Martin Heezink, who you know very well,

and on the other hand, Faber Metekohij.

And they were basically the bad boys

of the Dutch trust industry.

Up until 2016,

you really couldn't avoid these two guys,

and I'm talking private jets,

Lamborghinis in the financial district.

Complex structures from which money

was pumped through the Netherlands

-and disappeared to Southern Europe.

-[sighs]

Who is this person?

Nina Jacobs.

-Well, we need to look into it.

-Mm.

-Hm?

-Mm.

-I actually expected you to be happy.

-Why happy?

-With your new job.

-Yeah.

We've all noticed that you're not really

feeling it much lately.

That's not true.

I'm serious.

And it's not about feeling. It's about

having proof and then presenting

-the proof, which I don't have.

-OK.

-I was chewed out already.

-Yeah, I know. I heard.

And they said you've been fired.

Sounds to me like

there's not much else they can do.

-You know what Kim said?

-No.

When they, uh When they asked everyone

if we could go on here without you.

Yeah, well, she said that

that Sylvia van Maele has the biggest

damn brains in the whole unit.

[chuckles]

However, she never puts them to use.

[chuckles]

[door closes]

This was Where's My Money.

I was your host, Nina Jacobs.

If you're confused

by everything we've discussed,

that's precisely the point of it.

-[recordist] Yes. We got it. Amazing.

-[giggles]

-Bye.

-Bye-bye.

So, seems like

you brought in the big g*ns.

Nina Jacobs, Where's My Money, pleasure.

Nina Jacobs, Where's My Money.

-Good afternoon.

Hi.

I'm putting my bike in the back

before we go see Faber, OK?

Hey, uh

Real quick, before we begin.

Faber can sometimes be a bit of a pain,

so if you let me do the talking,

it'll go a lot smoother. Got it?

Yeah, OK.

[operatic style singing]

Fabi, Fabiozo, I am here for you ♪

-Can you come down? ♪

-Nina, f*ck off.

Fabi, come on.

We're here to help you, huh?

-Yeah, I know you, Nina. Help, my a*s.

-Come on!

Hey, I'm here with Sylvia van Maele.

She's a kick-a*s public prosecutor

and she's totally interested in your case.

-Aren't you, Syl?

-I definitely am. Hello, Faber. This is

This is Sylvia.

[Nina] I really need to pee.

Can you please open the door?

-Hi.

-Hi.

-Daniel. Right? Daniel?

-Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Do you know where Sylvia is?

After five years inside,

it gets a bit boring, you know.

-[Sylvia chuckles]

-[sighs]

-That was you on the San Juan case.

-That's right.

West African government oil.

Seemed like a safe investment.

Well, honestly, I

I think she might have forgotten

I work here. [chuckles]

-So you're just wandering around in here.

-Yeah.

[sucks teeth]

I'm going to help you out.

Here's some advice on Sylvia.

We're working on a case involving trust

agency Corporate Services in Monaco.

Martin Heezink?

Uh [chuckles]

I mean, don't get me wrong.

She's super smart.

She could be the smartest person

in this whole place, but, um

No, I'm not saying it.

But you get it, right? You get me, yeah?

No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm still alive.

I'm clean. I'm good now, thanks.

Observe for a few weeks here, then

I'm going to be joining you. Cool, bro?

Uh [chuckles]

How much longer on that?

[exhales] Uh, let me Three?

[Lars] Three years Oh.

Sylvia, I think, could you out.

Really?

[contemptuous chuckle]

Martin Heezink.

So, in 2016, he left Trust Visions,

after a leak on the Cayman Island that

exposed 100 clients of his and his firm,

none of which had a UBO,

but that wasn't required yet back then.

As we know, Trust Visions is acting like

they follow the rules,

but it's just for show,

because we've discovered evidence

that points to these guys

working with Martin from abroad.

[judge] Listening in live seems

more appropriate for a t*rror1st threat.

Well, Judge, a lawyer fell from a window

and our suspect is a flight risk.

Has everyone just gone bananas

over at the department?

[nervous chuckle]

Are you going all cowboy on me all

of a sudden? Out of character, isn't it?

It happens only if it's really necessary.

I know what you may be thinking.

"But, Lars, this guy is 12 years old."

[chuckling]

Martin Heezink,

at the age of 25 years old,

was managing partner

with Trust Visions,

with an annual salary of

10 million euros.

And by 28, he was wanted everywhere

by the FBI.

What does, uh, Ed Koppers think of this?

He's deeply opposed.

-You should have led with that.

-[both laugh]

One more time. As long as the meeting

lasts, you're our responsibility.

You go in. You come back out.

You do nothing else besides this meeting.

You are not allowed to consume alcohol,

or leave the premises. Yeah? That clear?

-Yes.

-OK.

[Lars] Heezink's customers

They're arms dealers, drug dealers,

oligarchs, dictators.

These guys don't want to be seen

Their money is our target.

-Don't go nuts, OK?

-OK.

Trust Visions, no more than that.

-Yeah.

-OK?

[Lars] So if there's anyone here now

who's thinking,

"Wait, this is too dangerous for me.

I'm not ready for this.

I'd rather be at my desk"

There is the door.

Yeah, this might be a stupid question, but

wasn't she going to work somewhere else?

We haven't figured everything out

quite yet.

-OK.

-[exhales]

-[chuckles]

-[tapping]

Sylvia, can I quickly

Marcus has been trying

to talk to you about the transition.

Yeah. I'm just not entirely sure

there's going to be a transition.

-Sorry?

-Thank you for the offer,

but I'm not going to the national office.

Honestly, I'd rather quit.

-When did you decide that?

-Well, just now. This minute.

What are you doing, Sylvia?

You've worked here for eight years.

Most prosecutors get rotated.

We don't even ask them.

Yes, but I'm the best person you've got.

I'm better than Marcus.

People love Marcus.

Did you know that a Trust Visions lawyer

committed suicide a day after the raid?

And you know her.

She was a student of yours.

If you want to tell me something,

then go ahead.

I'm saying it right now, Ed. I'm planning

to start investigating Trust Visions,

Martin Heezink,

and all accounts connected to them.

-Now

-I've got a wiretap warrant from a judge.

I'm not trying to undermine

your authority here.

I want to inform you as a courtesy,

so you're not totally surprised.

I'll need an official dismissal

if you really want me gone.

And only men love Marcus.

No, I can't, dude.

Can't go out until I pass German.

My mom's a f*cking tyrant.

That's why. Why else?

[chuckles, groans]

OK, OK, OK. Cool.

Yeah, I was going to knock.

I'm here to inspect the heating.

You should have been notified.

Oh, OK. Well, my mom isn't here, so

Well, I know where I need to be, so

OK. Just lock the door when you're done.

Um

Yep.

[Faber grunting]

[Faber sighing]

[Ellen] Fine, how about you?

-[Faber] Can't complain.

-You're looking good.

-[Faber] I do my best.

-Come on!

[Faber] Hi. Faber.

-[woman] Hello.

-[Faber] Hello.

-Ever been diving?

-No.

-Bora Bora. That's the place to go.

-Really?

-Beautiful.

-Amazing spot.

[Ellen] I haven't heard anything

about that. Wow.

-[Faber] It's the best.

-[Ellen] I'll remember that. [chuckles]

So, Faber, what can we do for you?

[Faber] Well, let me get right down

to business.

I got a tax notice in the mail

that made me want to puke.

[Ellen and Faber chuckle]

Yeah. Well, we love doing business,

as you know, with Monaco.

Bank of Guernsey got a bit more difficult

these past few years, but

OK, I'm going to stop you right here,

Ellen.

You see, I care more about privacy

than about taxes.

Look, I can explain all of this to you.

The thing is we need to indicate

an ultimate beneficial owner.

[Faber] Yeah, yeah, I get that, but, uh

Well, I've done some pretty good business

in Russia.

It's hard to get that out now.

I thought, "Ellen can surely help me out.

I get it,

but we have to play by the rules.

[contemptuous chuckle] Come on.

If the damn King of England comes in,

are you going to give him the same line?

"We need an ultimate beneficial owner."

Eh.

Yeah, that's what I would say to him.

Well, maybe

I'll get Martin Heezink's help.

Martin Heezink? He's not here anymore.

I'm giving him a call.

I'm sorry. I'm afraid that you've been

completely misinformed here, Faber.

Alright. I guess

I'll take my money elsewhere, then.

That would be your only option, yeah.

[Faber] Nice to see you again.

Have a nice day.

[woman] Have a nice day.

[sighs] I did my best, guys.

[beeping]

[sighs]

-g*dd*mn.

-Wait a minute.

-Why?

-Yeah Just give it a second.

[car starts in background]

[car beeping]

[sighs]

[phone rings]

-Hello.

-Yes, this is Mr. Heezink's assistant.

[Faber] Uh, yeah. One moment.

-Give me a sec.

-[beep]

-[assistant] Martin wants to speak to you.

-[Faber] Well, isn't that nice?

I've got a proposition

I'm sure he'd love to hear.

So, uh, talk to me.

[assistant]

We should do this face-to-face.

[Faber]

Well, that sounds like a great idea.

-[assistant] Would now be convenient?

-Um, right now?

Yes, does that work?

-Yeah, of course.

-Great.

[beeping]

Hey, guys,

uh, if you can hear this, let me know.

[inhales, exhales deeply]

-[Faber] Martin Heezink?

-[driver] Please get in sir.

-[Faber] And where are we headed?

-[driver] You'll see soon enough, sir.

Turn everything off.

What do you mean?

We don't have permission. Switch it off.

-Sylvia, come on.

-We have permission for Trust Visions.

Yeah, but this is Trust Visions.

Lars, just think. Anything we heard here

wouldn't be permitted in court.

If we don't hear anything,

we don't know anything.

Yeah, well, tomorrow we talk to Faber.

Sorry. Sorry, these are the rules.

-Yeah, but f*ck the rules for once.

-No.

-f*ck the rules! Just this once you can't?

-No.

-[frustrated sigh]

-Turn off the transmitter.

Sit back down, Daniel.

[Daniel clears throat]

Your thesis paper had a couple

of minor calculation errors on page 321.

Otherwise, it was excellent.

[snorts softly]

[sighs]

[driver]

Sir, please leave your phone with me.

Our guests are rather particular

about their privacy.

Of course.

[Sylvia] Juul!

Juul?

Juul.

Yeah, Juul,

we've already talked about this.

You really need to get home,

so get on the bike now.

-[exhales]

-[distant clunk]

[sighs]

[exhales deeply]

[soft, distant footsteps]

Juul?

[breathes shakily]

[clunking, footsteps]

[light switch clicks]

[breathes shakily]

[door hinges squeak]

[music plays over headphones]

[breathes shakily]

[whispers] Someone's in the house.

No, no, no, no.

Stay calm. Stay quiet. OK?

[breathes heavily]

[operator] 112. What's your emergency?
