RADIO NEWSREADER

The first call was pretty positive
but then this morning,

the surgeon said they need
to operate again on the leg.

We're on our way there now
before they prep him.

OK. Bye.

For the British? Well...

This man, Ulle Dag Charles,
real name Suleiman,

which he prefers not to use,
understandably,

is an attention-seeking fraud.

Every time he has a new piece
of software to sell,

he promises it will save the world,

but all he wants to do
is destroy it.

Ulle Dag Charles is a traitor
to the West and its values.

Bombe!

It's just come in.
I knew you'd wanna see it.

Russian 2000 MG.

Not something you see every day.

Hmm, the serial number's filed off.

Well, t*rrorists aren't
entirely stupid.

So, is it the genuine article?

Yeah, looks like the real thing.

Although the Brazilian
and Egyptian knock-offs

There's gotta be another one
in here somewhere.

They're not always entirely stupid,

but they're not that smart either.

Bingo.

Christ, the Puzzle Ball's
something special.

that I might be persuaded
to part with.

Christ.

Tech entrepreneur,
Ulle Dag Charles,

or UDC as he prefers to be known...
Hey.

No, I'm good. Thank you.

...he calls River.
Ulle Dag Charles, what is this

mysterious new software, River?

River is a revolutionary
technology...

Er, how's the paper?

I finally came up with
a new title for it, actually.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.
What is it?

It's called, "Problematic
Violences and Self-Authorship:

Traps of the Messianic
and the Tragic."

Thank you.

What does it actually mean, though?

Come on, you learned firearms,
you know what it means.

Where's Jasmine? Homework?

Homework, exactly.
Why is a man who is a founder member

of the billionaire club turning
against his fellow billionaires?

Can we find something
on the Fest k*lling, please?

Come on, this is UDC.
You should be all over this.

He's got like 240 million followers.

Some people think he's God.
Yeah, including him.

- Look at him.
- You never know
with this guy, though.

I mean, if this software does
what it's supposed to,

it's gonna show us where
all the big money's coming from

and where it goes.
Like, if he pulls this off,

this could get really interesting.

But it's not interesting right now.
Someone's been assassinated.

It is to me.
Can you ju...

No! Listen,
you can't just come here...

Give me it.
Come home... Fine, fine, fine.

Take it. Wow, no respect
for your husband, no?

Thank you.

According to police sources,
Fest was struck by a single b*llet

fired by a sn*per from long range.

It's not yet confirmed
if authorities

have been able
to locate a suspect or...

Evening, Mum.
Hi, how you doing?

How was school?
Good.

Good. Good.

Do you remember what's
happening tomorrow night?

Yes.

Parent-teachers' evening.

Yes. I'm going to come.

Good.
Alright?

OK.
..was visiting his son,

Elias Fest,
at the Saint Elizabeth hospital,

Passport.
Ja.

Do you live in Nuremberg?

Er, no, I live in Paris.
What were you doing in Nuremberg?

I was visiting someone on business.

Is this your car?
No, it's a rental.

Open the boot.

What's happening here?

Nothing to worry about.

What's in the box?

Ah, so this...

is why I was in Nuremberg.

This...

is a Jaques set.

The ivory is all pre-ban.

Wait here.

You can go.
Thank you very much.

Have a great evening.

Thank you.

What's the latest
on the Fest sh**ting?

Er, the report's
literally just come in.

Should be on your screen now.

Single shot to the head.
A lot of splatter.

Bloody good shot.

No, that can't be right.
What?



But that... that's not possible.

Well, it's what
the Germans are saying.

What's-What's going on?
They've called a meeting about it.

Osi. Osi.

I should be at the Fest meeting.

You'll get a full briefing
- afterwards.
- No, no, no, no.

I don't want a full briefing.
sn*pers is my patch.

I didn't draw up the names, Bianca.
Well, wait, wait, wait.

Who did? Was it Isabel?
I assume so.

Well... Look. Jordan's in there.

Jordan.
What does Jordan know about sn*pers?

I have to be in there.

Who is that anyway?

Werner Leckner, German Intelligence.

And there's been rioting
in different parts of the country.

It's obviously very alarming,
Werner.

And as you know,
the Foreign Secretary

was a personal friend of the Fest
family. He's very shocked.

As are we all.
What do you need from us?

We are not making any assumptions

about the nationality
of the sn*per,

From the apartment block
where the shot was taken

to the hospital door
where Fest was hit is,

er... 3,815 metres.

Are you sure about that?

Because the world record for
a confirmed k*ll with a sn*per r*fle

is 3,540 metres.

Ukraine, 2023.

Did you retrieve the weapon?
No.

Right, so the sn*per
took it with him.

This is the suspect leaving
the apartment building,

two minutes and 52 seconds
after the shot was fired.

But... er, sorry, where's the r*fle?

He broke it down and put it
in the bag. Obviously.

Can we get dimensions, please?

and it's the shortest around
in this category.

The Denel barrel is
a full metre long.

The-The-The r*fle's not in the bag.

If it was in the bag,
we'd see the barrel poking out.

He left it behind.

No, forensics found no trace
of a weapon at the scene.

When a sn*per finds a r*fle,

one that allows him
to make a shot at that distance,

that r*fle is a keeper.

He's never going to leave it behind.

Which means he took it with him.

And if he took it with him,
then it has to be in that bag.

I'm not following, Bianca.

barrel in two parts is
the gunmaker's holy grail.

If the rifling were out
the tiniest fraction,

it would compromise the shot.
It's impossible.

There's a gunmaker who's been
trying to do this for years.

His name is Norman Stoke.

Is Mr Stoke British?

Northern Irish.
Well...

I suppose they count as British,
for now.

Do we know where Mr Stoke is?

Can we get Special Branch
to scoop him up?

He's been on the run since
the Stockholm assassination in 2018.

How unfortunate.
But I have an asset.

I know I can find him.

What good would that do us?

Oh, well, gunmaker makes g*n.

Gunmaker sells g*n to assassin.

Highly speculative.
It is a lead, however.

And, to be frank,
we don't have many of those.

Bonjour.
Bonjour.

for our expertise.

Although it would be
a little embarrassing

if the gunmaker turns out
to be British.

back in the '80s in East Belfast.

but was released
under the peace agreement.

Er, he's now an enforcer
for a g*ng of drug dealers.

Norman, meanwhile,
perfected his craft

and made the g*n used
in the Stockholm assassination.

How would you go about
finding Norman Stoke?

I have an asset in Belfast.

Codename Sparrow.

I've heard good things
about you, Bianca.

Don't let me down.

Yeah.

Hey.
Hey.

You look like you're at an airport.

Yeah, sorry.
But what about parents' evening?

So, I'm assuming you're not coming?

I know, I know. I feel awful about
it. There was nothing I could do.

Well, you could try
telling her yourself?

Paul, I can't, I can't.
I-I've just got to Belfast

and I'm-I'm already late
for a meeting.

Right, OK.
Can you do it, please?

OK.
Look, I will try my best

to get on the last flight.
OK.OK?

I'm sorry.
Alright, bye, bye.

OK, bye.

When I saw your number,
I almost had a stroke.

Thought I'd seen the last of you.

It has been a long time.

How've you been?

What do you want, Nadine?
How's the family?

Leave my family out of it.

If Larry knew who I was talking to,
he'd k*ll me.

There you go.
Thanks ever so much.

Do come back and see us.

Have a good day.

But you're being careful?

You remember the protocols?
Yes.

Good.

Then there's nothing
for you to worry about.

Not since he disappeared.

Are you telling me
the truth, Alison?

I know the brothers are close
and I need to find Norman now.

Not my problem.

It's very much your problem,

Are you married?

No.
Children?

Nope.
Career woman.

It's written all over you.

If you had a husband, you'd know
men have their little secrets.

Well, this is a little secret
I want in on.

I need you to find out
where Norman is today.

He'll be suspicious.
I'd have to work up to it.

Can I go now?

It's a free country.

This is Alison.
Leave a message.

Alison, it's Nadine.

I haven't heard from you
and I'm very disappointed. Call me.

Oh, office in-joke.

Who's the target?

Ulle Dag Charles. UDC.

Can you get to him?

It'll cost.

I mentioned a guide price
of ten million dollars.

Multiply that by ten and then
perhaps we can have a conversation.

That's a very expensive
conversation.

Hello?

Er, get me everything we have
on Alison's daughter, Emma.

- Copy.
- Yeah?
Yeah, yeah. On it.

The BND believe, er...

The BND believe our sn*per
thought he'd find Manfred

at the Fest Und Fest Unternehme
offices the night before.

But Manfred wasn't there
so he shot his son, Elias.

Manfred was always the real target.

Elias was used as bait
to lure Manfred to the hospital.

That would take
a lot of pre-planning.

Well, all planning is pre.

How did Belfast go?

My asset isn't cooperating.

I think we have to get
creative on this one.

She has a daughter, Emma.

A student in London.

Involved in a radical leftist group.

I think I can see where
you're going with this.

We have to be very careful

about sanctioning
this kind of operation.

CROWD
UDC! UDC! UDC! UDC!

What do we want?!
The truth about money!

UDC! UDC! UDC! UDC!

Yep, that's her in the pink scarf.

Do I have to wait for her to act up?

No. Just go get her.

Fine by me.

Miss, you're causing
an obstruction in a public highway.

If you do not get up and move
right now, you're liable for arrest.

like arrest the fat cats...

in the way that you are.

I don't care about your law,
I don't care!

Right, that's enough.
Have 'em up. Thank you!

Get your hands off me, lackey!

Whose streets?!
Our streets!

You're in very serious trouble,
Emma.

You're in very serious trouble.

We have four witnesses who saw you

throw the bottle
at the police officer.

We got four witnesses

who saw you throw the bottle
at the police officer.

What bottle?

What are you talking about?
Nobody was throwing anything.

You didn't even ask
about the officer.

She was badly hurt.
I didn't throw any bottle.

The officer's gonna lose
her right eye.

She's gonna lose her right eye,
since you didn't ask.

Just a young woman,

doing her job.

How's that make you feel, Emma?

You're making this up.

So f*ck right off.

And I want a solicitor.

I have a right to a solicitor.

You can call your mother.

You can call your mother.

This way, please.

f*ck off me!
Get in there.

Where's my solicitor?!

Oh, my God!

I wasn't expecting you
until next week.

What and miss Carlito's birthday?
Not happening.

Talk to me.
She was like this when I found her.

She's still alive.
I've called the paramedics.

"At the tone,
please record your message."

Bianca,

we've got a serious problem
with your student.

What the f*ck is going on?
She collapsed.

You're gonna be alright.
