01x01 - Episode 1

Post by bunniefuu »

Alright, boss?

Morning, all.

Main bathroom,

top of the stairs.

Master bedroom has an en suite.

So make sure you get to the top

before he starts flushing.

Got it!

Go, go, go!

Get down!

Get -- Get down!

Hands on your heads!

Stay down!

Don't move.

Kitchen clear!

Bathrooms clear!

-All clear!

-Clear!

Here we go.

That door cost four grand.

You're replacing it.

-f*ck you!

-Keep her in the front room.

You're f*cking paying for it.

Yeah?

And anything else you break.

Here, you, f*ck.

-Hand down.

-Shut the f*ck up.

Alright. Take it easy.

Don't touch me!

You're hurting me.

My name is

Detective Sergeant Emer Berry.

I'm with

the Criminal Assets Bureau.

I want my f*cking solicitor.

I have a warrant,

under Section 6

of the Criminal Justice Act

2006,

to execute a search of your

house, garage, and gardens.

We'll be seizing anything

we believe to be the proceeds

of crime

or anything purchased

with the proceeds of crime

and any evidence

that pertains to such.

Are you deaf?

I want to call

my f*cking solicitor.

We'll be seizing all phones

and electronic devices,

so that'll have to wait.

Where's your f*cking warrant?

This is the original copy,

if you'd like to take a look.

That's your copy.

We need you downstairs, Emer.

We found another suspect

hiding in the garage.

He's unarmed but aggressive

and refusing to take

any instructions from us.

Says he wants to speak

to the officer in charge.

So maybe if you'd have a word

with him, before we move in.

Okay.

I'm Detective Sergeant Berry.

I'm coming in.

So stay back from the door

and get down on the ground.

I'm an armed officer.

Get down on the ground!

Jesus!

I didn't know it was Bring

Your Kid to Work Day, John.

Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

Uh, that's my car.

You can't take that.

I own that.

It's not Darren's.

Josh?

This message app

just disappeared.

That shouldn't be happening.

What the

Someone's wiping this remotely.

-Can you see who it is?

-I don't think so.

-Try to block them.

-It won't let me shut it down.

Open up the call log

and hold it up.

Scroll down.

Again.

Oh, sh*t.

We're losing them.

See if there's any bank apps

or any diaries

or anything useful.

I think they're deleting

everything now.

Oh!

It's gone.

It's all gone.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

Here. Here.

Come on.

Here. Here. Go.

Shh, shh, shh.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

-Shh, shh, shh, shh.

-Problem?

It got a scent from the cage.

You sure it's not

doggy/monkey issues?

Could be that.

Most definitely got a scent.

Let's open it up.

Diamonds.

Unpolished.

Captain Koshinen is

waiting upstairs for you.

Oh. Good.

Thank you.

Well, if the captain is here

there must be a problem.

Uh, no.

I brought you a gift.

I was in Cork.

I thought it might be nice

to bring you a --

a little taste of home.

Oh!

That's much too generous.

Uh, you take good care

of me, I take good care of you.

Well, thank you!

Is it too early for a nip?

It never is.

I saw your ship was in.

I was going to come and see you.

I saved you the trip, then.

I came in with a purser.

Well, seeing as you're here, I

wanted to double-check with you

what date you're returning.

-The 27th, I think.

-27th.

I have the exact time in my log.

See you then.

Cheers to you.

They haven't indicated

whether they're gonna

charge you with anything.

We won't know until they've

gone through all the evidence.

Some of the stuff they took,

I need it back.

Unless you can prove it was

something that was bought

with money legally earned,

it won't be returned.

Um, are they going to

fix the door, at least?

It was a reinforced door,

and they had a warrant

that allowed them entry

to this property.

They took all our phones.

I need your mobile

to make a call.

Sure. But there will be

an official record

of whoever you're

calling on my phone.

f*ck!

Thank you.

Good morning!

What have we got?

The translator says

the documents from the cage

are in Flemish.

They're title deeds

to a property in Antwerp.

Do we have an address?

Apartment 4, Oostenstraat 53,

2018 Antwerpen.

That's outside our jurisdiction.

Mmm. Fancy.

It's valued at 1.3 million.

Bought through

an Antwerp notary.

-No mortgage.

-When was this?

Little over a year ago.

Josh, when you went through

his bank accounts,

were there any unusually

large withdrawals?

Uh, nothing like that amount.

What about flights

to and from Belgium?

So he has luxury apartment

in Belgium

and, as far as we know,

didn't view it before buying

or visit afterwards.

That's odd.

And why Antwerp?

I can see someone

like Darren Reid

with a pad in Spain or Dubai,

butAntwerp?

He's a drug dealer.

And Antwerp port is

a major hub for smuggling.

It's also known

for its diamonds.

And the two things

he tried hardest to hide

were the diamonds

and this apartment.

Let's see what we can find out

about the apartment.

See is it rented it out,

or is it for personal use?

If you want to pursue

the apartment,

we need to officially contact

the Belgian authorities.

They're going to be up to

their eyes with that bombing.

Then we wait.

We can't do anything

without Belgian cooperation.

Okay.

So where are we

with the diamonds?

I left a message

with a broker in Dublin.

I'm hoping they might be able

to give us a valuation.

It might be better if I just

take them to Antwerp.

The chances are they're

from there, too,

and there may be records.

You know you can't go near that

apartment while you're there?

Not our jurisdiction.

-Hello.

-Hi.

Hey, my father called today

to remind me we were all meeting

on Thursday.

He was very, uh,

cloak and dagger

about the whole thing.

You know what that was about?

No.

What is he even doing

in Belgium?

You know it's not

a social visit.

I don't know.

Have you been watching the news

coverage of yesterday's bombing?

A little. It's awful.

They're trying to

identify a woman.

She worked for me.

What?

Have you told the police?

No.

How come?

How many companies will want

to work with us

if they think we're linked

to a t*rror1st attack?

You're hardly

"linked to the attack."

Well, that's how it will

look like.

We have access to

the whole port.

Imagine how useful

that could be to a t*rror1st.

I'll cancel

the restaurant.

We'll come up with a plan.

Hallo?

Do you speak English?

Yes, a little.

I'm here to see my friend

in apartment 2,

but I don't think

her intercom is working.

Thank you.

I speak English.

I speak English!

English.

I'm a police officer.

I'm a police officer

from Ireland.

Can you prove this?

My passport and my police ID

are in my bag, there.

Follow me, please.

Our Embassy in Dublin contacted

your bosses to confirm

your story.

Hm.

I bet that went down well.

Yeah, well, uh, I made it clear

you actually had done us a favor

turning up like that.

I'm guessing this is

about the bombings?

I saw the apartment is a crime

scene, and this is CTU.

The man who owns the apartment,

what can you tell us about him?

Darren Reid. Irish drug dealer.

Lots of cash, flash cars,

and a pet monkey.

"Pet monkey", what is that?

Is that slang?

No. He owns pet monkeys.

Okay.

He came to our attention

when his bank tipped us off

about unusual

financial behavior.

-Mm-hmm.

-Large amounts were passing

through his accounts

that originated

from the Philippines.

As far as we know,

he bought the apartment

without even seeing it

and has never used it.

None of this is normal

for someone like Darren Reid.

I want to know what he's doing

and seize his assets.

And if we can help each other,

even better.

Okay.

The suicide b*mber who

carried out the attack

here in Antwerp, he stayed in

the apartment the night before.

-sh*t.

-Yeah.

We believe this is where

he prepared for the bombing.

We also found the body

of a woman

who had been m*rder*d

in the bathroom.

May have been his girlfriend

or a co-conspirator.

A neighbor disturbed a number

of men inside the apartment.

They had to leave in a hurry.

We had hoped they may return.

But you caught me instead?

Yeah.

This Darren Reid guy, does he

have any links to terrorism?

Not that I know of and certainly

not Islamic t*rror1st groups.

We're not sure

these t*rrorists are Islamic.

That's not what the news

is saying.

Yeah, well.

CCTV showed the b*mber

making the sign of the cross

before detonating.

Your suspect, does --

is he aware that you know

about the apartment?

Yeah.

We found the deeds during a raid

on his house.

They were hidden

with a quantity of diamonds.

-Like this one?

-Yeah.

There was 47 of them like that.

That's the reason why I'm here.

To find out about the diamonds.

Follow me, please.

Wait in here, please.

Thanks for doing this.

What time do you have

to be back at?

Uh, when I'll have a moment,

I'll help you with the diamonds.

Can I at least

have my phone back?

Sorry, that's being processed.

Well, what am I supposed

to do here?

Yeah, well, uh,

read a magazine.

I'll send someone over

with some coffee.

Thanks!

In the interest of

clarification,

are you here as a husband

or as your wife's lawyer?

Husband. I don't believe my wife

requires a lawyer.

She couldn't afford me anyway.

I believe you have information

about the woman

we're trying to identify.

Her name is Sana Retz.

She worked for my company

for a short while.

When exactly was this?

She started about

four months ago,

and stayed right up

until the other day.

What exactly does

your company do?

We're ship chandlers.

We service the ships

in the port.

Anything they need --

food, cleaning supplies,

electronics,

and we provide it.

Sana worked in the warehouse.

Did she have family or friends?

Honestly, I -- I don't know.

Since we released that sketch

of her yesterday,

you're the only person

to have come forward.

That is strange if she was

living here and working.

I suspect Sana was an ill*gal.

So family or friends might be

reluctant to come forward.

And what makes you think

she was an ill*gal?

Well, she was only with us

for a short period,

but any time we asked

for her work permits,

she always had an excuse.

She either had forgotten

them or lost them or

I had to have a word with her

about it last week.

When she didn't show up

for work,

I thought that was why until

I saw her picture on the news.

How is it you ended up

employing an ill*gal immigrant?

I remind you, Chief Inspector,

that my wife is here voluntarily

to help you

with your investigation.

You want to ask her

about anything else,

you can formally invite her

to be interviewed.

I'm only interested in catching

the people behind these attacks.

I saw Sana in a coffee shop

in town asking for work.

We got talking, I liked her,

and I offered her a job.

So you just offer this woman

you met in a coffee shop a job?

No, I told you, I spoke

with her first.

She told me she had traveled

from Syria with her family.

-She was Syrian?

-Yes.

Her father drowned when

the boat capsized

on the crossing from Turkey,

and after they were rescued,

her youngest brother was sent

to a different holding camp.

She'd been trying to trace him

for months.

And you believed all this?

If I met you and you told me

your life story,

should I suspect you of lying?

Or is that just immigrants?

You're Irish?

I was born and brought up

in Ireland,

but I have joint Irish Canadian

citizenship through marriage.

Do you know a man

called Darren Reid?

No. Why?

f*ck sake!

Does your company

deliver all over the port?

Yeah.

So, uh, your employees,

they can access anywhere?

Well, the delivery drivers can,

but Sana only worked nights

here in the warehouse, so this

is all she had access to.

Carolyn, can you please

get Chief Inspector De Jong

the information

we have on Sana Retz

and help him

with anything else he needs.

Yes, Mevrouw Melnick.

I hope you don't mind,

but I have a call scheduled.

If we need anything else,

we'll let you know.

Yeah.

Um

Are you hungry?

Well, it's kind of

a local delicacy.

It's, uh

yep, gray shrimp, uh

We say "une croquette".

Basically a fancy fish finger.

You don't like it?

I would have liked it much more

two hours ago.

I'll finish it for you,

I'm as hungry as a horse.

That's true.

So, uh,

the Criminal Assets Bureau,

your department,

what is that exactly?

We target criminals and seize

anything they own

that we believe might be

the proceeds of crime --

houses, cars, cash, bank

accounts, watches, anything.

So you're like an accountant?

I'm a police detective.

Who investigates assets

and money?

I was in Serious Crime

until eight months ago.

And I know that CAB has greater

powers than any other unit

I've worked in.

We get the targets

and their money.

The accountant squad.

Passport, please.

Place your right

index finger on there

and look into that camera.

If you have any dark secrets,

it will show up now.

Aren't they interested

in your secrets?

It's okay.

They already know all mine.

And there's no Kimberley.

It was seized from

a criminal in Ireland.

Mm, without

a Kimberley certificate

I cannot tell you

where it came from.

But if I had to guess,

I'd probably say Angola.

And how much is it worth?

Mm.

Colors are a good G.

Clarity is excellent,

and there are some inclusions

which I like.

I'd say they're round

G 4.18 VVS.

How many did you say there are?

Well, if they're all like this,

I would say they are worth about

600,000, maybe more.

Thank you.

If diamonds didn't exist,

criminals would invent them.

So easy to hide and transport.

And turn them into cash

without a paper trail.

The perfect currency

for crime and t*rrorists.

Your guy had a bag

full of diamonds,

and his apartment was used

by my t*rror1st.

We need to question him.

I'm sure that could be arranged.

Getting permission

to interview a suspect

in another jurisdiction

takes more time than I have.

Well, perhaps I could

interview him,

and you can come observe.

Even suggest the line

of questioning?

That would be very helpful.

When you were investigating

this Darren Reid,

did the name Bibi Melnick

ever come up?

No. Why?

One second.

Ja? Christian.

Okay.

Uh, I have to go.

You can make your own way

to the airport, right?

Yeah. Right.

-Clear!

-Clear!

f*ck!

All clear.

Norah, call Judge Martin's

registrar and notify her

that we'll be making

an emergency application

to her first thing

in the morning.

Yeah. Now.

It's only 9:30.

She's hardly in bed already.

I'll do up the application

when I get home.

Just get us on her list,

will you?

Oh, sh*t!

Customer number is

3-6-3-3-2-6.

I've got a flat tire, and I'm

in the airport car park.

Seriously. How long?

Is he walking here?

Seeing that I was woken for

this, it better be good.

We are seeking an order

under Section 67,

sub-section 4 of the

Criminal Justice Act 2010,

pertaining to Money Laundering

and t*rror1st Financing,

to compel the telecoms companies

listed in Appendix 1,

to provide us with

the personal details

of all the account holders

of all the numbers

listed in Appendix 2.

We believe the discovery

of the deeds

to a property in Antwerp

and diamonds concealed at

Mr. Reid's house

are significant.

These print outs in Appendix 4

are what exactly?

They're copies of photos

of the phone log taken on

Mr. Reid's phone.

It was being wiped remotely

when we were seizing it.

This was our only way

of recording the numbers.

Hm.

You state that the apartment

in Antwerp owned by Mr. Reid

was being used

for t*rror1st activities,

but I don't see any evidence

to support this claim.

It was where the t*rror1st

that carried out

the Antwerp bombing was staying.

The Belgian police found

the body of a woman there.

I could seek official

confirmation from Antwerp,

but it is imperative that

this investigation

is not delayed while we wait.

There's an officer coming from

the Belgian Counter t*rror1st

Unit tomorrow

to observe

our questioning of Reid.

So I open the app, you

know, to do the exercises,

like every other day,

and Aoife says she doesn't

believe in mindfulness.

And I say, "Mindfulness isn't

like the Tooth Fairy or UFOs,

it exists,

how can you not believe in it?"

And she says she thinks

mindfulness is evil.

That escalated quickly.

Her theory is that mindfulness

perpetuates the idea

that all our problems

are "within ourselves"

and can be fixed with a few

minutes of meditation every day,

which distracts us

from the truth,

which is that the world we're

living in is the real problem

and we're being screwed over

by corporations

and governments all the time.

f*ck!

She might have a point.

That's what I thought.

Now that's all I can think of

when I'm doing my exercises.

She's ruined mindfulness for me.

I wouldn't mind,

but the app cost me 15.99.

Oh, here we go.

Nice car.

It's a rental.

I have the contracts.

Relax, we're only here

to tell you

we'd like to interview you

about issues

arising from the search

of your property.

Ideally we'd like you to present

to the station voluntarily.

Or, if not, we can issue

a warrant for your arrest.

Up to you.

When?

Tomorrow morning, 10:00 a.m.

I'd also like to inform you

that a Belgian police officer

will be observing the interview.

What for?

The apartment you own in Antwerp

is under their jurisdiction.

But what's this got to do

with them?

It's not an offense

to own an apartment.

We'll discuss all that

at the interview, shall we?

You see his face

when you mentioned Belgium?

Yep.

More scared than guilty I'd say.

Definitely.

It's me. I need to see you.

That's too late.

CAB are hauling me

in tomorrow about it.

They're all over the apartment.

No, I won't f*cking calm down.

It's not your name that is

on the f*cking title deeds.

This is not what

I f*cking signed up for.

And I'll tell you this now.

I'm not taking the rap

for anyone.

That clear?

What is it?

The port authority just called.

They want you to remain here,

as they're sending

over an officer

from their Department of

Security to interview you.

This is because of what's

in the papers?

Yeah.

Reid's late.

Only a few minutes.

Norah, call his solicitor

and see if he's coming.

Right.

Tell her if she can't

verify his whereabouts,

we'll assume he's absconded

and issue an arrest warrant.

Notify the airports

and ferries immediately.

It's going straight

to voice mail.

Will I get an arrest warrant?

Hang on.

It's him.

Ah!
