05x02 - The Crown

[bunniefuu]

[police sirens blaring]

[suspenseful music playing]

[dispatcher in Croatian] American girl,
brown hair, tan coat…

The suspect is believed to be on foot.

[indistinct chatter]

[Kiara breathing heavily]

[bystanders speaking Croatian]

[in English] sh*t. sh*t.

-[Kiara gasps]
-[grunts]

[officer in Croatian] Stop.

Put the g*n down. This is not necessary.

[suspenseful music continues]

Lady! Stop!

-Hey! Stop!
-[officer 2] There she is! I found her!

[in English] Sorry. Sorry.

[in Croatian] She's got a g*n!

[suspenseful music continues]

[Kiara breathing heavily]

Where is she?

She's on the gondola!

[music fades]

[woman in English] But artifacts
are not limited to tools

or objects of function.

Many of them were created for worship,
for beauty, for sheer artistic expression,

because these details can be as revealing
as the artifact itself,

the work of society's most valuable
and most advanced artisans.

So we might ask ourselves,

what is it that will survive us?

[dramatic music playing]

[music ends]

Just stop touching it, seriously.

The woman is the world expert
in ancient metalwork.

She authenticated the Rhaetian Dagger.

She's not gonna be impressed
with how the freaking fabric falls.

Okay, okay.

I think a little razzle-dazzle
never hurt anyone.

Razzle-dazzle. Wow, Jesus, please.
Just don't… don't embarrass me, man.

Me embarrass you?

[Henrique sighs]

[audience applauding in distance]

[Groff sighs] Ah, the famous Medici.

World expert on all things
refined and beautiful. I'm…

Just… just go.

[Medici] I'm here as a favor to Henrique.

I've got donors waiting.
What have you got?

[Groff scoffs]

You didn't tell her?

Honestly, I didn't think
she'd come if I did.

[Groff] I don't know
how this is gonna sound, but…

I have the Blue Crown.

[birds chirping]

Right.

I'll remember this.

Yeah, I'm so sorry. I'm--

I found the Mogador scroll.

[intriguing music playing]

In a cache that Blackbeard brought back
from North Africa

that led me to… the crown,
which I recovered last week.

We've brought it here to you
to authenticate.

Just look at it.

Fine.

[door shuts]

[intriguing music continues]

Thank you.

Corrosion patterns…

Genuine.

You haven't restored it?

No, of course not. It'd make it
harder to authenticate, right?

And you… you found this…

[Groff] Agapenta.

Though if the Moroccan government asks,
I'll deny it.

[Medici chuckles]

[dramatic music playing]

I didn't want to waste your time,
but do you think it might be real?

You are an idiot, Henrique.

[Rafe sighs] Can't this thing
go any faster?

Has she responded yet, Cleo?

Nothing.

[sirens blaring]

[tense music playing]

[Kiara breathing heavily]

Well, it's quite a pickle.

Law enforcement behind and in front.

It's not a good spot to be in, is it,

Kiara?

[sinister music playing]

Who are you?

A friend.

Foe.

Depends.

Depends on what?

[Finch] On you.

I'm Anton Finch.

You run the Corsairs.

[Finch] Well, I run a lot of things.

And you, or your friends,

you k*lled one of my men.

I'm willing to forgive and forget.

I could even help you
if you answer a few questions.

Help me how?

You let me worry about that.

First,

the Blue Crown.

It exists?

[spluttering] I've only seen it though.
I don't have it, I swear.

No, no, no, no. Chandler Groff has it.

And he k*lled your friend
to get it, correct?

[tense music playing]

My condolences.

Now you're trying to avenge
your friend's death.

There's no need to answer.

I can see that you are.

One more question.
This is very, very important.

Your friend, JJ…

Was he holding the crown when he died?

No.

-No, Groff had it.
-[Finch] I knew it.

I am genuinely sorry he wasn't holding it.

Wait. Why?

[Finch] The crown that grants all wishes,

that can even revive the dead.

That can't be real.

Well, Caesar believed it.

Alexander the Great was said to have seen
its power on the b*ttlefield.

[gondola creaking]

Look, when you found the crown,

were there other artifacts with it?

Items stolen from Murat?

A… sort of a staff.

[tense music continues]

[police sirens wailing]

No.

We haven't got much time.

I want the crown. You want vengeance.

If you k*ll Groff,
that will also serve my interests.

I can even help you,

offer a generous bounty if you succeed,
but the crown is mine.

Agreed?

We found it first.

-It was ours.
-[Finch] And now it's not.

and get you out of this mess.

But I get the crown.

Do you agree?

[ominous music playing]

Fine.

Fine, I just want Groff.

And I know he's here in Dubrovnik.

Can you help me or not?

Excuse me.

[g*n c*ck]

[electricity crackling]

[b*ll*ts ricocheting]

Did you hear that?

[suspenseful music playing]

-Is that Kie?
-[Pope] Hey.

-That's Kie.
-[John B] Is that a g*n? He's got a g*n.

-[Cleo] Kiara!
-Hey! Kie!

-[Cleo] Kiara!
-[John B] Kie! Kiara!

[John B] Hey! Hey!

[Cleo] We gotta get her out of there.

[Rafe] We have to turn around.

-[Pope] So we gotta go back down.
-Wait, wait. Guys, guys, cops.

[John B] sh*t.

[Pope] Either she did it
and they're coming to get her,

or she attempted to do it
and they're still coming.

-She's screwed.
-We gotta get back down.

[suspenseful music continues]

[Finch] It's now or never.

[breathlessly] You're joking.

[Finch] Here's your chance.

You see that ladder?

[Kiara scoffs] Are you crazy?

I can't do that.

But the cops are waiting.

[Kiara] Okay.

Okay.

[Kiara grunts]

[suspenseful music continues]

[Kiara] Okay.

[breathing heavily] Okay.

[Kiara grunting]

[police sirens blaring]

Okay.

[suspenseful music continues]

[police sirens continue wailing]

[music ends]

I… I will have to run some further tests.

I have a kit at my flat.
Could you spare another hour?

It will go such a long way
to authenticate.

Yeah, take all of the time you need.
As long as I can stay here with the crown.

Yes, of course.

It's just a scientific proof
for the buyers.

-[knocking on door]
-[Henrique splutters]

-What is it?
-Uh, I'll get rid of them.

[Medici] Here.

[door opens]

[both speaking Croatian]

[door shuts]

[Medici] Congratulations.

What a discovery.

[door opens]

Uh, so…

Apparently there's been a disturbance
on the plaza.

Somebody with a g*n.

Did they catch him?

Apparently it's a her. And no, not yet.

[tense music playing]

Should we find another way out?

I mean, I have a car waiting
on the service road.

-[Groff] Let's do that.
-We could go to my flat right now.

-I could finish my analysis.
-[Groff] Fine.

[Medici] Donors can wait another day.
Would you be a dear and just talk to them?

-Yeah.
-[Medici] Just make up an excuse.

-Let's go.
-Yes.

[suspenseful music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[Kiara breathing heavily]

[police sirens wailing]

Hey. We actually need to come here--

[in Croatian] Stand back.

Take the next one.

-[in English] What's happening?
-[Cleo] sh*t. Shut up, John B.

[John B] Just… just chill. Okay, okay.

[police radios squawking]

[gondola door shuts]

[gondola whirring]

[tense music playing]

[in Croatian] Send her photo.
She can't be too far.

We are looking for a girl.
Have you seen her?

She's at the top.

At the top!

Yeah! Yeah!

-[officer] Where?
-I don't know.

[officer] Head to the top!

[police speaking Croatian]

[police sirens wailing]

[dramatic music playing]

[Finch in English] It's been confirmed.

Groff… is somewhere in town.

And he has the crown.

Spread out. Check our contacts. Let's go.

[motorcycles revving]

[music fades]

[indistinct chatter]

[tense music playing]

[phone unlocks]

[whispering] Come on, come on, come on.

[dispatcher speaking Croatian over radio]

[police sirens continue wailing]

[officer in Croatian] Stop! Police!

[officer in English] Hey!

[in Croatian] Stop!

[suspenseful music playing]

[shop door jingles]

[tense music playing]

[dramatic whoosh]

[tense music continues]

[bell tolling]

-[in English] Mr. Groff, should we?
-[Groff] Yeah.

[Kiara breathing heavily]

[suspenseful music playing]

[police sirens wailing]

[dispatcher in Croatian] Female suspect
is armed and still at large.

[gondola door dings, opens]

[police chattering in Croatian]

[Sarah in English] So what now?

[John B] No idea.

[tense music playing]

[police sirens wailing]

[motorcycle revving]

[Finch over radio]
Juric, any sign of Groff?

-[radio chirps]
-[Juric] Negative. We'll keep looking.

[police sirens wailing]

[tense music continues]

[Medici] It's just upstairs.

[suspenseful music playing]

[bell tolling]

[John B] Pope, anything from Kie?

-[Pope] No.
-[John B] Cle?

[Cleo] Nothing yet.

She's not picking up.

[Sarah] Where'd she go?

[music stops]

[indistinct chatter]

[Rafe sighs]

[seabirds squawking]

[Rafe] It's not easy, is it?

What are you talking about?

[Rafe] k*lling someone.

That sh*t was the same for me.

-I've been messed up ever since.
-We're not the same.

Not the same? Are you… Listen, man.
You were protecting Cleo.

I was protecting my dad, okay?
It's not that different.

You m*rder*d a sheriff.

In cold blood. For your m*rder*r father.

Who stole gold from us.

Then you stole the cross
that belonged to my ancestors

and melted it.

We are not the same. I have empathy.

You're a psycho.

Leave me alone.

[bell tolling]

[phone chimes]

[Cleo] Hey. Pope. Kiara's got Groff.

-John B.
-John B.

She got him.

[John B] Okay, great.
Tell her we're on our way.

-[Cleo] Okay.
-Okay, we gotta go. We gotta go.

[Sarah] Go, yeah, go.

[music crescendos, ends]

[Medici] Well, it's certainly gold.

But I could tell that
just by looking at it.

[Medici chuckles]

The, uh, carbon dating is going to take
a few weeks,

but will check out.

I know it.

[gloves rustling]

This is real.

Congratulations.

[Groff chuckles]

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Angry donors.

I'll be a minute.

[footsteps recede]

Thank you.

[door shuts]

[tense music playing]

[phone unlocks]

[phone line ringing]

[dramatic music playing]

[Groff exhales]

[line crackles]

Hello.

This is Dr. Craig. You know me as, um--

[Finch] Medici.
The great expert on antiquities.

[chuckles] It's funny you should call.
I nearly went to your lecture today.

[Medici] Wait.

You're here?

So you're… you're in Dubrovnik?

Surprised?

So what can I do
for such an esteemed scholar?

[Medici] Um, a few weeks back,

you offered me a substantial reward

if I had any lead
on the actual Blue Crown.

At the time, I thought it was ludicrous.

I mean, it had been missing
for three centuries.

And something's different now?

Ten million,

you said.

Ten million Swiss francs
for the location of the crown.

In a secure account.

The offer still stands.

[dramatic music continues]

In that same conversation, I told you
that if I ever did find the crown,

I would like some time with it myself.

Yeah. I recall our conversation vividly.
The offer still stands.

I have the crown with me.

And if you're here in Dubrovnik,

and if you can get
to the Excelsior quickly…

-[earpiece chirps]
-Palace Excelsior.

The owner is skittish.

[Finch] Just keep him there.

Do we have a deal?

Suite 202.

You work for me now.

[ominous music playing]

[line disconnects]

[phone locks]

[Kiara breathing heavily]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Kiara grunts]

[Medici] So, I have some good news.

After placating the donors,
I've made a few phone calls.

And it seems that we have
an interested buyer right here.

In Dubrovnik. And if he likes the piece,
which I'm confident he will--

I'd like to remain anonymous.

Yes, of course.
You… you can stay in the back.

But we could do this right now.

Get a bid today. Get the ball rolling.

Wait, hold on.

-Right now?
-Well…

Who's your buyer?

The buyer, understandably,
would like to keep their identity hidden.

Just as you do.

But… this is a good thing.

-Is it?
-[Medici] Yes.

[tense music playing]

Then tell me who your buyer is.

[Medici] I have a non-disclosure
with the buyer,

which I will respect.

Just as I respect your request
to remain anonymous, Mr. Groff.

[tense music continues]

[metal clinking]

Tell me who it is… or I walk.

[suspenseful music playing]

[metal creaking]

[Kiara gasps]

[Kiara breathing heavily]

[Medici] There's nothing to worry about.

I assure you,
the buyer is beyond reputable.

He is one of the foremost collectors
of antiquities in the world.

It's not Finch, is it?

Anton Finch?

Tell me it's not him.

[motorcycles revving]

[Medici] He is
a legitimate buyer, Mr. Groff.

[Groff sighs] With an army of mercenaries.

I beg your pardon?

[breathily] You have no idea
what you've done.

[Groff scoffs]

[motorcycles approaching]

[motorcycles revving]

[sinister music playing]

He will k*ll us both.

Groff's on the second floor.

Secure the crown.

Then worry about him.

Wait here. This shouldn't take long.

[Medici] Mr. Groff, he will pay you.

[Groff] He has k*lled
dozens just like you!

-[Medici] I need you to lower your tone.
-[door opens]

[suspenseful music playing]

-What have you--
-[door shuts]

-I… That must be them. I'll talk to them.
-[Groff] Get out of my way.

[Medici] Go… go to the other room.
Keep the crown with you.

[suspenseful music continues]

[Medici] Hello. Uh, welcome.

Uh, follow me.

The crown is through… through here.

[suspenseful music continues]

[music crescendos, ends]

[tense music playing]

[Finch] Chandler.

The prodigal son returns.

Anton. [inhales sharply]

Uh, Mr.… Mr. Finch. [chuckles]

[splutters] I thought it might be you, uh…

It's good to see you.

Um…

I was… was hoping we could… do a deal.

Oh, no, no.

No need for all that.

[tense music continues]

[dramatic music playing]

[Finch] It's just as Alexander the Great
described it.

[Juric] Mr. Finch?

[Finch] No. Keep him alive for now.
I have some questions.

[splutters] Uh, yeah, yes, of course.
I'm an… I'm an asset.

Not for long.

[Finch] Congratulations, men.

Back to base camp.

[Medici splutters] Mr. Finch…

You… you… I'm sorry,
but you did promise immediate payment.

And some time with the crown.
I did everything you asked.

Yes, of course.

Her payment.

Thank you.
I really did do everything you asked.

-[g*n c*ck]
-[Medici gasps]

-[g*n fires]
-[Groff] Oh! God!

[Groff sobbing]

[Groff breathing heavily]

[Corsair] Let's go.

[dramatic music playing]

[floor creaking]

[Kiara breathing heavily]

[floor creaking]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Dalia] Juric! Let's go!

[Cleo] Okay, we're coming up on the pin.

[John B] All right. Text Kie.
Let her know we're close.

She's gotta be…

[Pope] Hey, hey!

She's gotta be in that building.

[sinister music playing]

[John B] Oh sh*t.

-Guys?
-Hey.

I'll take that.

Is that the crown? That's the crown.

And that's Groff.

[Dalia] All right. See you at the boat.

[tense music playing]

-[Cleo] sh*t.
-[Pope] So… so what do we do?

-Kiara says follow the Blue Crown.
-What?

-We can't just leave her.
-[Sarah] Where?

It's what she said.

[motorcycles revving]

[Finch] To the marina!

-It's now or never. We can cut 'em off.
-[Sarah] What about Kie?

-[Rafe] Send her our pin. She'll be fine.
-[Pope] Come on!

[dramatic music playing]

[music fades]

[ominous music playing]

[Kiara shuddering]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Rafe] They're headed
for the marina. Come on!

-[John B] This is the way, right?
-[Pope] Yeah.

You thinking what I'm thinking?

-[Rafe] Yeah.
-[John B] Let's do it.

[phone buzzes]

[phone unlocks]

{\an8}[inbound message whooshes]

[John B] Here we go. Get ready!

[Cleo] Yeah.

[tires screeching]

[Corsairs groaning]

-[Sarah] The crown!
-[John B] Sarah!

[combat music playing]

[all grunting]

[Finch] No!

-Give it to me.
-[Groff] No!

[combat music continues]

[both grunting]

[Sarah struggling] Help!

John B!

-[John B] Sarah!
-[Sarah] Get off of me!

[both grunting]

[Rafe breathing heavily]

[Rafe] Thanks, man.

[both grunting]

[Finch] Give me the crown.

[both grunting]

[police sirens wailing]

[John B] Guys. Cops! Run!

[Finch groans]

[Finch] Go, go, go!

Let's get out of here!

-[Juric] Go, go! Let's go!
-[motorcycles revving]

-[Rafe] Who has the crown?
-[Pope] I don't know. Where's Groff?

[Finch] To the boat! Now! Move!

[motorcycles revving]

-John B's going after Finch!
-[Sarah] No!

-[Pope] Then we take Groff.
-[Sarah] Which way did he go?

-[Cleo] That way!
-Come on.

[police sirens wailing]

[in Croatian] They all left.

That way. You! That way.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Groff breathing heavily]

[pedestrians shouting]

[Corsair groaning]

[motorcycles revving]

[Kiara breathing heavily]

[suspenseful music continues]

-[Rafe in English] Got anything?
-[Pope] No.

[Rafe] You see him?

Whoa, this way!

[suspenseful music continues]

[Corsair groaning]

[motorcycles revving]

[Kiara breathing heavily]

[bird wings flapping]

[pigeons cooing]

[dog barking]

[ominous music playing]

-[cell phone buzzing]
-Oh, sh*t. Oh, sh*t.

It's Kiara.

-Hey!
-[Kiara] I'm tailing Groff.

He's heading towards the big church.

The church.

I know where that's at.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Finch] Come on!

Sorry, Juric.

[Juric groans]

[motorcycles revving]

[Kiara breathing heavily]

[Kiara groans]

[breathing heavily] sh*t!

[music ends]

[Groff breathing heavily]
Wait! Wait! Wait.

[breathlessly] I'm unarmed. I'm not…

-I'm not resisting.
-Shut up!

Kiara, stop! Please! Please!

[dramatic music playing]

Please.

I'll give you the crown.

I'll k*ll you how you k*lled him.

[Groff groans]

[Groff coughing]

[knife swishing]

[Groff groaning]

-Burn in hell!
-[Groff grunts]

[Groff gasping]

I… am a k*ller.

Are you?

You're not.

[whispering] You don't know me.

[Groff] I do.

You won't give up the chance
to see JJ again.

I said shut up.

[Groff] I have the crown.

I have it.

I'll give it… to you. Just let me live.

[tense music playing]

Where is it?

[mystical music plays]

[Groff] They say…
you can see your loved ones again.

[dramatic music playing]

[Groff] They say…

it can bring back the dead.

[bells clanging]

[Kiara] No!

[dramatic music continues]

[Groff breathing heavily]

No.

No.

[suspenseful music playing]

[whispering] No. No.

sh*t!

[Kiara shouts] sh*t!

[Kiara sobbing]

Hey, Kie! Kie!

No! No!

John B, where is he? Where's Groff?

Listen to me. I was going after Finch.
I was going after Finch. He has the crown.

[breathlessly] And he went… he went over…

-[Kiara] No.
-…the ledge.

-[John B] With the crown. He had it.
-[Pope] Hey!

Hey. Did you find Groff?

-[breathlessly] Yeah.
-[Pope] Did you do it?

-I had him.
-Did you do it?

-[Cleo] They on us.
-No.

-[Cleo] We gotta go. We gotta move.
-[Kiara] I can't go yet. I don't wanna go.

[Rafe] Cops coming.

-Cops coming this way. Let's go.
-[all clamoring]

[police sirens wailing]

-[Kiara] No, I can't leave.
-[Sarah] We have to go!

I owe it to him!

I owe him!
