01x06 - Episode 6

[bunniefuu]

If it's gonna be

corporate headquarters

in Europe,

it's gotta be big.

It's perfect.

You want to push paper now?

Stop a b*mber and another

will take his place.

But find the money and you

topple the whole regime.

There's dozens of companies

and hundreds of policies here.

-Culain sounds Irish?

-Look.

It's the entrance

to Fionn Brannigan's house.

Well, tomorrow might be too late

to prevent more deaths.

Can we have a minute

to grapple with this one?

Bibi, all you need

to do right now

is give me a good reason

not to give this to CAB.

Every detail of your

and Fionn's entire system.

According to her Alpha pass,

Bibi Melnick was

in the port the night

before the Brussels b*mb

as well as the Antwerp one.

It's her. Oh, my God!

She's the one bringing

the bombers in.

Come on.

You're being followed,

Mevrouw Melnick.

By police.

Get rid of them!

That's what you're paid for.

Get out of the car!

Raise your hands!

Where is he?

Any news on the black

SUV that got in my way?

Nothing.

No trace, but CCTV shows

this is the route

Bibi Melnick took the night

Sana disappeared.

She leaves work

late.

Then drives through

the dock area,

through a security point

before

turning into Boosestraat,

which is a black spot.

There are no street cameras.

After 15 minutes,

she reappears,

and then drives straight home.

That must be where

the handover was.

Yeah, probably.

What is on this Boosestraat?

Not much. It's very quiet.

It's maybe why she chose it.

I've sent uniforms down there,

to knock on doors,

see what they can find.

Okay. Good.

We need to put pressure on her

if we want to find this b*mber.

Diver found this at the spot

where a port worker saw

Mevrouw Melnick throw something

in the water.

So, uh

whatever's on that hard disk

must be pretty incriminating.

Let's hope so.

What damage will the water

have done?

It may've affected

the electronics,

but that's about it.

The data should be still on it

whether it got wet or not.

Okay. The platter is fine.

This is all that's on it.

These are all company

financial accounts.

We're already on to Culain,

but send all those to Norah,

see if there's

anything new in there.

Sure.

What's in VTL?

Is that it?

Is that all there is?

Yeah, that's all.

Hold on.

That's all there's on this disk?

Nothing that could be linked

to the attacks?

No. This is it.

f*ck.

What does VTL mean?

"Virtual tape library"?

It's data storage technology

for backing up data

and information

If she went to the trouble

of trying

to destroy this hard disk,

these numbers

must mean something.

So stay on it, see if you can

find out what they mean.

Wait here.

-Police! Turn around!

-Okay. Okay.

Turn around!

Move forward.

-Okay.

-Get down!

-Get down!

-Okay. Okay.

What is this about?

Can you tell me?

-Shut up!

-You're under arrest.

They're questioning Koshinen,

the captain of the tanker

who brought in the bombers.

First impressions are he knows

nothing about any of this.

What about her husband?

On his way here now.

Is she still insisting

she doesn't want a lawyer?

I think she hopes she can

handle this herself

without anyone else finding out.

Let's go put her straight.

Follow me.

Sit down.

Isn't this all

a little excessive?

I must inform you this interview

is being recorded,

and remind you you have been

arrested on suspicion of crimes

contravening the 2003 Law

on t*rror1st Offenses.

Anything you say may be used

as evidence in court.

Will this take long?

My husband will be expecting me.

He has been arrested too

as part of our investigation.

James has noth--

He has never broken the law.

Ever.

Do you still wish

to be interviewed

without a lawyer present?

Sit down, please.

You already know

Detective Sergeant Berry.

She is here representing the

Irish Criminal Assets Bureau.

One minute, please.

If this is something to do with

what Fionn has been up to --

It's not. You're the one

we're interested in.

Thanks, Mila.

Recommencing the interview

with Mevrouw Melnick

at 21:46.

We are investigating the

t*rror1st attacks in Brussels

and here in Antwerp,

and I'm offering you the chance

to tell us what you know.

I don't know anything.

We believe this next attack

is very imminent.

You can help us stop it.

So I'm asking you to help us

save many citizens' lives.

I would help, if I could.

You searched my car,

you found nothing.

I don't know why you think

I'm involved.

Okay. Fine.

I have some photographs

I'd like you to take a look at.

Do you recognize

this vehicle?

Of course. It's mine.

Does anybody else

drive this car?

No. Just me.

Can you identify the person

driving in this image?

Yes. It's me.

Can you identify the person

in this image?

It's me.

We have identified the man

getting out of your car

as Luis Spinola.

The man who carried out

the Antwerp bombing.

Can you identify the two

other men in this photo?

If it helps jog your memory,

these images

were taken the night

before the bombing.

We believe you used

your company's access

to the port to bring these men

into the country

so they could carry out

t*rror1st attacks.

You must understand you're

facing t*rror1st charges

and life in prison.

Silence will not help you,

Mevrouw Melnick.

You're right.

There is another attack.

It's scheduled

for tomorrow morning.

I can help you prevent it,

but I want to see James first.

Like I already told you,

Mr. Melnick is currently

under arrest,

as part of our investigation.

And like I told you,

he has nothing to do with this.

If you want to stop this attack,

then go get him for me.

Come.

Come on, we're going.

-¿Qué?

-We have to leave.

-¿Qué?

-Muevete.

Move.

Chief Inspector.

Look, I don't -- I don't know

what I'm doing here.

And I --

I don't know what's happening,

but I do know my rights.

We have conclusive evidence

that your wife helped the man

who carried out

last week's bombing.

No, that's

You made a mistake.

There's absolutely no mistake.

Whatever you have

to say to him, make it quick.

I'm so sorry.

About all of this.

All of what?

What have you done?

It's okay, they can't record us

in here.

Bibi

Tell me.

The police have photos of me

with --

with the man

who carried out the bombing.

When you say "with" him,

what do you mean?

Getting out of the boot

of my car.

They threatened to k*ll me

if I didn't do it.

And Arthur too, and you.

Who?

This is all about your father's

f*cking money, isn't it?

The money that I told you from

the very beginning not to take.

It was Daddy's money.

He earned it, no one else.

And they hounded him

into his grave.

I had every right to keep it.

It belongs to us.

Hm.

And Fionn?

Getting thrown out of a plane,

how does that fit in?

We underestimated the people

we were dealing with.

Yeah, I'd say.

I'm sorry, James, I'm sorry.

Uh, that's too late, too late.

I did it for us.

Will you stop lying to me!

We have more money

than we can ever spend.

All of this has never been

about anything except you!

You and your father,

and your father's

f*cking legacy.

I need your help.

If not for me

then to protect Arthur.

I'm going to send you a copy

of this too,

and we split the load.

Got it.

I take the first half,

you take the second.

Thank you.

This isn't just Culain stuff.

What else is there?

I don't know exactly.

But it looks like accounts

for a company registered in

Angola?

There's a list of

companies there.

Let's go through them first

and see if we can

cross-reference with

Hey?

I heard

you got new evidence.

We have CCTV footage

of Bibi Melnick

handing over Luis Spinola

to two men.

-Jesus!

-Yeah.

And you should have seen

her snooty face

when she saw the evidence.

You reckon those two lads are

the ones that shot Darren Reid?

You'd have to think.

How are you getting on?

Ha, it's all data this

and gigabytes that.

So you're making the coffees

and trying to look busy?

-No.

-And here again.

No, I have stuff to do.

Look.

Emer, they're ready for us.

I have to go, Sean.

I'll talk to you later.

Before this interview

officially resumes,

we would like to discuss

the possibility

of a regret settlement.

Go on.

My wife is willing to admit that

she did assist the attackers,

transporting them from the port.

But that she did so

only after threats

were made against her life

and the lives of her family.

And given that we believe

that the men who threatened her

subsequently k*lled her brother,

it was prudent to take

those threats seriously.

Who are these people

who threatened her?

After the death of her father,

my wife and her brother

entered into

an ill*gal agreement

with some associates to hide

and launder a large quantity

of her father's overseas assets.

Her brother never revealed

the identities

of these associates,

but, um, my wife suspects them

to have links

with organized crime.

Bullshit.

Article 326 of

the Belgium Criminal Code

provides a mechanism by which

a sentence can be excluded

in a case of a guilty party

who confesses to everything

at the planning stage

of an attack.

My wife is prepared

to plead guilty to

money laundering charges

and to help you prevent

an imminent t*rror1st attack.

In return for immunity

from all other charges.

Are you f*cking joking?

Emer.

I think you're overestimating

your bargaining position.

We have enough evidence

to bring charges as it is.

There's a general election

tomorrow.

Imagine how it'll play

in the media

if you turn down a chance to

stop an attack on election day.

To reiterate, my wife's help

is dependent

on an official Regret Settlement

stating that she will face

no criminal charges

beyond money laundering.

That will need to be approved

by OCAD,

signed off by a Magistrate.

We'll need you to identify

the men you handed Spinola to.

All I know is they were employed

by the criminals

that my brother engaged

to launder our father's assets.

Those men are accused

of carrying out

at least three murders,

including Sana Retz

and your brother Fionn.

That's all I know.

Why are they organizing

a bombing campaign made

to look like it is was carried

out by Muslim fundamentalists?

I told you, my brother dealt

with them, not me.

Our evidence suggests

that Sana was k*lled by them

because she saw you

leaving the warehouse

with Spinola in your car.

Now who tipped them off

about that?

-Did you tell them about Sana?

-No.

Did you warn them about

the danger Fionn posed too?

Of course not.

He came here to tell you

he was handing himself in,

which put you

in a very tricky situation.

And then he's m*rder*d?

How did the K*llers even know

he was in that hangar?

Did you tell them that?

Did you?

The attack is in less

than 12 hours.

You're wasting your time.

She is lying.

Do you really think

that Fionn Brannigan

is the brains behind all this

and she's some innocent victim?

Probably not.

Then why are you thinking

of giving her a free pass?

To save people's lives and stop

another t*rror1st attack.

What about the people k*lled

in the previous attacks?

Don't they deserve justice?

What about Sana?

And Fionn Brannigan

and Darren Reid?

Hey! I agree.

Okay? Yeah?

It's not fair.

But if there's a chance

of stopping this attack,

I have to act on it.

We could issue a terror alert,

warn the public instead.

What if that only spooks Rivera

and he detonates

the b*mb somewhere else?

What you and I feel

doesn't matter.

People much higher up this food

chain will decide what happens.

James

If you knew the whole story,

you'd see this differently.

Okay.

Okay, tell me the whole story.

Come on.

Lay it on me.

'Cause I would love to see

this differently right now.

I think I would give everything

I have

to see you differently

right now.

I can't.

It would put you and Arthur

in danger.

Don't you dare use Arthur

to get your way.

Yeah?

We found something off

the hard drive.

Go on.

We found a company called

TUXZ Ltd, registered in Angola,

that was set up

to trade rough diamonds.

Now, from what I can work out,

Fionn and Bibi were receiving

ill*gal payments

for their father's assets

they signed away.

These payments will be filtered

through a series

of shell companies,

all controlled by Culain.

And then Culain pays millions

to this TUXZ Ltd

for "unspecified services."

How many millions?

TUXZ Ltd is holding assets

worth over 40 million

in diamonds.

Wow!

How much were their father's

assets worth

before they signed them over?

Depending on who you ask,

around 600 million.

Yeah, but they wouldn't

be getting

anywhere near market value

for them now, would they?

No.

With an arrangement like this,

they may have had to accept as

little as 40 cent in every euro.

Still. That's almost

250 million?

Where's the rest of it?

We're looking.

Well, keep looking.

I'll call you back.

This Regret Settlement

will depend on you

handing over the money

that you received

from the ill*gal sale

of your father's assets --

money that was stolen

from the Irish State.

You have no jurisdiction here.

You cannot be here

without Christian.

You can't talk

to Mevrouw Melnick.

Wait, that's okay.

This is a private matter.

We're happy to talk to her.

If you don't agree to return

the money that was stolen,

I will ask the Irish government

to make a formal objection

to this Regret Settlement.

Agreed.

The money will be returned.

I want a list of where the money

is, bank accounts.

How much is there?

Around 40 million

in diamonds.

That's even less than 10%

of the value of the assets.

That's what Fionn negotiated.

Regardless of what else happens,

I'll be taking possession

of those diamonds tomorrow.

She just gave up the 40 million

without a fight.

Now, she wouldn't have done that

unless she has

lots more hidden away.

We need to find it.

We're working on it.

We need to find it soon,

while we have her in custody.

'Cause if she gets a chance,

she's gonna start burying

that even deeper.

-No pressure then!

-Okay.

-Bye.

-Bye.

Hey. Let's go to my office.

Do you know what really bugs me?

A lot of things, I imagine.

All the "whys."

Why make it look like

Muslim fundamentalists?

Why now and here?

Why use Colombians?

I mean, she gives us this

b*mber, nothing else,

and she walks away

and we are none the wiser.

We're saving lives.

Are we, though?

Or is letting her and the people

behind this get away

going to cost us even more?

It's in order.

Where is this attack happening?

Viktor Maes is holding

an election day press conference

at the Museum aan de Stroom

tomorrow morning.

They want to assassinate

Viktor Maes?

No.

The attack will target

his supporters

planning to gather outside.

Do you know what time exactly?

No.

How is he getting there?

I wasn't told that.

This is a photo

we have of Rivera.

Does he look like this?

He's a little older.

Grayer.

Okay.

You will remain here in custody

until the b*mber

has been apprehended.

What about me?

Am I free to go?

My son is at home.

I would like to be with him.

Come with me.

I'll arrange your release.

But we may need

to question you again.

Of course.

Thank you.

I haven't got long, Norah.

When I was going back

through all

the Culain and TUXZ accounts,

I noticed that

they'd both been set up

at the same time 15 months ago.

-And?

-Well, it's odd.

The father died 10 years ago.

That's when they signed away

all his assets.

But they're only setting up

these laundering companies now?

Why do I sense that you already

know the answer to this?

Not the entire answer.

But maybe part of it.

Go on.

These five VTL numbers

made me think

what if they had done this

four times before.

Set up a system

like Culain and TUXZ,

used it to launder the money

they were receiving

for their father's assets.

Then after a period

of about two years,

shut it down,

set up another one.

Yeah, so if they ever

get caught,

it would only be

the most recent scheme

-and not the whole thing.

-Exactly.

It's very simple, very clever.

So where's the rest

of the money?

That bit I don't know.

But if we can trace

the storage devices

these VTL numbers are linked to,

I'm sure we'll find the answers.

-Good job. And um --

-Okay, boss, we're ready.

Oh! I have to go now.

Talk to you soon.

Okay, listen up, everybody.

We travel to the MAS Museum

in ones and twos.

No large groups or marked cars.

Everyone remains in plain

clothes, weapons concealed.

We don't want to alert

this b*mber

or give him any reason

to detonate his b*mb early.

At all times, be discreet.

And know that Rivera may well

be in disguise

or have changed his appearance,

so keep a keen watch

on any men who are alone.

Viktor Maes's office

has been informed?

We haven't given details,

but we told him

that we are concerned

for his safety and requested

that he doesn't attend

the Museum press conference.

His team knows to be discreet

with this information?

Yeah, absolutely.

Everyone, go.

Be safe.

Okay.

Well, uh

-See you later.

-Oh, hey.

I-I want to be there too.

At the MAS.

Can't have an unarmed

officer present.

Well then, arm me.

This has been a joint

investigative unit

between your team and mine.

You can't just cut me out now.

Vamos.

Come.

Amigo.

¿Tienes dinero?

Hey. Give me some money.

Sign there.

-I take it you know how --

-Yup. I know how.

You're ready?

Yeah, I was thinking, the area

outside is big enough

that we could isolate Rivera.

Why would we do that?

To negotiate a surrender, not go

straight to lethal force.

He's wearing an IED with who

knows what kind of expl*sives.

Rivera is not a fanatic.

He's not doing it

for God or culture.

We can talk him out of this.

You don't know his motives.

Ah, I know that

he's a Catholic Colombian,

not a jihadist.

I can't take that risk.

If we k*ll him, there's nothing

that can lead us

to the people

behind these attacks.

We don't know who they are

or why they're doing it.

Luca Rivera alive

can help us catch them.

My orders are to stop

this attack

and neutralize the threat

that Rivera presents.

Don't you want to find out

who's really behind this?

I want to save lives

and keep my job.

And that's enough for today.

Yeah.

Um, can we sit here?

-No, no, no.

-Por favor.

No, it's not necessary.

Por favor.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

We should probably split up.

Cover more ground.

Possible target

on the Bonapartdock --

male, gray puffer jacket.

Thank you.

I'm going to check that one,

you stay here.

Mm-hmm.

Okay. Negative.

Bonapartdock is not the target.

Copy that.

Target still at large.

Adios.

Are you going to the MAS?

Because we are going there too.

-We can --

-No.

-We can walk with you.

-No.

No, it's okay,

we can go together.

Where are you from?

No further sightings

of suspicious lone males.

Police!

Put your hands in the air!

Hands in the air!

Luca!

Luca!

Luca!

iManos arriba! iManos arriba!

Put the detonator down

or we will sh**t!

Luca! ¿Hablas Ingles?

No. No.

Baja la bomba.

Piensa en la familia.

Piensa en la familia.

-Okay.

-Emer, stand down.

He doesn't want to do it.

We can talk him out of it.

Luca.

Luca!

Podemos protejarte.

No. No.

Luca.

Podemos protejarte.

Luca.

¿Habla con tu esposa?

Luca.

Luca!

¿Habla con tu esposa?

Sí.Okay. Okay. Okay.

Luca.

Luca.

Habla con tu

mujer.

Alo!

I had to do it, Emer.

I have a responsibility

for the safety

of the officers

under my command.

-He didn't pose a threat.

-But he had a b*mb.

He wanted to talk to his wife.

You don't know

what his intentions were.

We've nothing now.

We failed.

How many people would have been

k*lled today

if we didn't do what we did?

That's not failure.

What about the people behind

all this, get away scot-free?

We have nothing on those two men

who probably k*lled Sana,

Darren Reid,

and Fionn Brannigan.

We have their images.

We will find them.

It's Mila.

Where are we with those VTLs?

Nowhere.

We haven't been able to work

out what those numbers mean.

Have you spoken to Norah

and Josh about them?

Yes.

They are working on it too,

but no luck.

Okay, thanks.

Looks like Bibi Melnick

will get away scot-free too.

Minus the 40 million in diamonds

she'll be handing over to you.

Do you have a cigarette?

You keep them.

Now that Rivera is dead,

Emer really wants us

to crack this thing.

Maybe those codes are

serial numbers for the VTLs?

Yeah.

You know what a VTL is, right?

Yeah, it's a Virtual

Tape Library,

used to store data

and back it up.

The clue's in the name --

"Virtual."

They aren't actual tapes,

they are virtual storage

and backup facilities,

created by software packages.

Okay, so, maybe

they're serial numbers

for the software packages?

I'm pretty sure

software companies

haven't used four-digit

serial numbers since the 1980s.

Do you mind, lads?

This is an office,

not a shortcut, yeah?

Uh, sorry.

So how do we trace

these numbers?

I don't know.

There are dozens, maybe hundreds

of companies

providing VTL services.

Each could have thousands

of customers

with multiple accounts.

Without understanding what

these numbers are or mean,

there is absolutely

no way of tracing them.

He should've been here by now.

Relax.

If Aubrey said he'll be here,

he will be here.

I told you.

You're late.

They k*lled Rivera before

he could detonate the b*mb.

-When?

-About an hour ago.

At the museum.

It's a f*ck up.

f*ck.

What about the documentation?

The valuation papers

are in the envelope.

I'm seizing these on behalf

of the Belgium Government,

as they are

in this jurisdiction.

I request you hold them for us

until we have arranged

their transport and hand

over to the Irish Authorities.

Of course.

Thank you.

It's a typo.

What?

VTL, it's a typo.

It should be VLT -- for vault.

0685 was her safety box number.

It's also one of

the VTL numbers.

What are the other ones?

It's, uh

3099, 4987, 6103, 7348.

Have you any safety boxes

-matching those numbers?

-Yes.

Check if they're owned

by Mevrouw Melnick

or members of her family.

And if they are, I need

to see inside them now.

Okay.

James?

housing

and economic growth

were the key political issues.

They were the battlefields

upon which this election

would be fought

and won or lost.

But it's clear now that

the t*rror1st attacks

in Brussels and Antwerp

have completely moved the dial.

Arthur?

Immigration

and national security

are the issues that

Belgians are most

-James!

-concerned with,

as they go to cast their votes.

Long before these

recent attacks,

the National Reform Party

had adopted a hard line

stand on both immigration

and national security,

and many believe they will be

the beneficiaries

of this political sea change.

Johane, you've been

monitoring the exit polls?

-James.

-Yes, Nick.

Call me when you get this.

a substantial

victory and majority

I just want to speak to Arthur.

He's my son.

I'm entitled to him.

Aided of course by

the recent t*rror1st attacks?

-Absolutely.

-Please?

Only today

an attempted attack

on Maes himself

was foiled by police

at the Museum aan de Stroom.

These atrocities have

strengthened Maes's hand,

as his party are for tightening

immigration controls

and closing our borders,

which presumably

would put Belgium on

a collision course with the EU.

Maes's vision is of Belgium

leaving the EU

and lowering its corporate

tax rates

to make it a haven for business

and foreign investments.

I've even been hearing rumors

from party insiders

that Maes intends

to sell Antwerp Port

to a consortium of

private business interests

and hedge funds

and use the money

to fund his policies.

Sláinte.

Sláinte.

Sean!

Have a look at this.

f*ck!

-Yeah! f*ck!

-Yes.

-All in diamonds?

-Yeah.

Not bad.

So

are you the one coming back

to collect the diamonds?

I don't suppose they'll be

trusting me.

There might be a lot

of paperwork

that requires your presence, no?

I doubt that.

Revenue will be taking care

of all that from now.

Maybe you'll have another reason

to come back for.

And then, uh, I can take

you out for dinner.

Yeah.

Maybe.

Thanks for everything.

Did your wife pick the suit

out for you?

You know why I know?

Or a politician.

-I'll be right back.

-Yeah. Yeah.

Bibi.

You shouldn't be here.

Well, I tried calling.

I need to speak to James.

Do you know

where he and Arthur are?

Yes. They're on their way

to Vancouver

to stay with James' mother.

I need to see them.

So can you arrange it?

Can you speak to James?

James doesn't want you

anywhere near him or Arthur.

And I have to agree.

I think it's wise

you put a little space

between you and them.

And you and I.

I did everything you asked.

Everything.

I even gave up Fionn.

And I still haven't said a word

about any of it to anyone,

including James.

Yes, and your discretion

was greatly appreciated.

You said you'd protect me.

And I did.

And I still am.

That's why you're still here.

Just be patient.

You should have come to me

for that f*cking apartment --

not Fionn.

Yeah, well, what's done is done.

I'm going to lose my family,

my business.

They've already taken my assets.

I'm going to get charged

with money laundering.

Keep your voice down.

You're gonna be fine.

Trust me.

A bit early to celebrate,

isn't it?

Exit polls rarely lie.

You know that.

I see Maes is going

to privatize the port.

Is that what this is all about?

You know, I really think

you should be leaving.

You helped him get elected

and he sells Antwerp Port

to your company.

Goodbye, Bibi.

Leaving my spot.

Mister Melnick would like you

to leave now.

-Hey, hey!

-Hey!

-Aye! Welcome home, boss.

-Welcome home, boss.

-Did you see Gately on the news?

-No.

Ah, she was announcing

our diamond haul,

and, boy, did she look happy!

-Did she mention us?

-Well, she wasn't that happy.

-What you're having?

-Oh, I'm driving, so

Get her a large whiskey.

No one is driving tonight.

-My round.

-Okay.

You helped stop that attack,

and we got 200 million

in the state coffers.

-You should be pleased.

-I am.

Well, you might want

to tell your face that.

We caught no one, Norah.

No one important.

We've no real idea who carried

out that bombing or why.

And I'll be shocked

if Bibi Melnick

serves a day in prison.

Let's just enjoy

our win tonight.

And tomorrow we'll pick

our next target.

-Here. There you go.

-Thank you.

What are you two smiling about?

A job well done by a great team!

-Sláinte.

-Sláinte.

Well done.

-Yooh!

-Another great job!

-Yaow!

-Hoo-hooo!

Your round.
