MILAN
[female reporter]
Now for the top story in Milan,
where a protest has been planned
against the decision
to extend safe zones throughout the city.
The demonstrators
accuse the new city council
of using the public safety plan as a means
to boost the military's control
of the city
and increase the number
of surveillance cameras.
The march, which will begin in the early
afternoon at the central station,
will ultimately arrive outside
the Mayor's office at Palazzo Marino.
Meanwhile, the debate
over reducing restrictions
on weapons sales continues to heat up
POLICE
after the Prime Minister
spoke publicly yesterday,
in favor of the new bill.
The new proposal
to deregulate the firearms trade,
based on the American model,
is gaining support
from multiple political parties
and could soon end up in Parliament.

IDENTIFICATION
MANTICORE ITALY HEADQUARTERS
SURVEILLANCE
[Matteo] 3-0-8, 3-0-1.
We discovered something
that we need to act on immediately.
It's a delicate situation.
Your targets
will be other Manticore agents.
Today the founders' meeting is being held,
but a separate meeting will be
taking place in another location
in secret, off the record.
Between an agent from Manticore France
and one from Manticore Germany.
And since Italy wasn't invited,
it'll be interesting to listen in.
So we have to spy on our sister agencies?
[inhales]
The rendezvous
is at the main square in Lugano
this afternoon at 4:00 p.m.
on the dot.
That's everything you need to know.
Do not intervene.
For any reason.
Find out why they're meeting without us,
then report here.
CLARA LEONARDI
SURVEILLANCE
Given the nature of your mission,
there will be no transmissions today,
in or out.
We won't communicate, and you'll have
to deactivate your tracking system.
You're on your own.

ZANI
WEAPONS MANUFACTURER
[shell casing falling]
[gunshots]
[technician] The targeting system's
accuracy is 99.3%, Mr. Zani.
There's nothing new about that.
[Edo] And this?
Is this new enough for you?
And it'll get past any detector,
transform into any of our weapons.
What material is it?
Still thinking of a name.
Let's begin production right away.
I haven't finished the tests.
We need to find other markets.
And new products will attract new clients.
[Edo exhales]
Has something happened?
The Tringalis
tried to pull one over on us.
Need someone more trustworthy
buying from us.
And since when could you trust the mafia?
You could once.
The army's new order,
is it ready?
Just about.
Anything else for me, Father?
[Ettore inhales]
[Ettore exhales]
Today, the European founders
are going to meet.
And I asked if you could join me.
They'll decide the future
of Manticore Italy.
It's going to be yours one day.

- [Diana] All right, and?
- [Luca] Uh, so, uh
[Diana] Come on, finish the story.
I saw her there at the supermarket and
she's just standing there,
not knowing which wine to choose.
So in comes "Stefano",
the great sommelier.
[both laughing]
A sommelier now, huh?
Well, I wanted to go simple.
'Cause the last time
I was the pharmaceutical rep,
- remember? Jesus.
- Oh, yeah. Of course.
Doesn't it bother you
that the people closest to us
don't get to know how awesome we are?
Yeah
No.
[chuckles]
You get it, come on.
I know what you mean, sure, but
but, no.
I do think about it sometimes.
What?
Getting out.
Well, nobody can.
[Luca] I know.
Hear what they did to 2-8-1?
[Diana] Mmm-hmm.
Three days living it up,
and then
[clicks tongue]
Got him and his wife.
[chain rattling]
Why the hell did we get into this shit?

Sara, they're going to land. Hey.
Come on, please? Just for bit.
Mom and Dad are about to land!
One, two, three, one, two, three, drink
You know they're gonna yell at me!
They won't get mad at you.
You're such a idiot.
[both singing] One, two, three,

What should we be expecting?
Ettore.
Hello, Edo.
Cecile.
The Zani's.
[German] Can't say
I'm used to seeing you here.
Cecile.
Wolfgang.
[English] Shall we go in?
As you know, we're here to discuss
the position of Manticore Italy,
following the measures taken
by the European Council of Manticore
eight years ago.
Thank you for coming.
Wolfgang?
The Founding Families have decided
to extend the sanctions
against Manticore Italy
for a further three years.
You still won't have voting rights.
So you still won't take part
in Manticore's global strategy.
Another three years?
I'd like to ask why.
You haven't learned from your mistakes.
You made reckless use of the agency,
which destabilized Italy
more than we would have liked.
And that weakens us, too.
Certainly not because of us.
And you forget
that if we are all still here,
it's because someone stopped Citadel.
You have the nerve to bring that up again?
After what you did?
[Cecile] Gentlemen,
we all know how it went.
You still have your agency
and your agents.
And the largest
arms manufacturing company in the world.
Could have been different,
and you know it.
All I know is that, today,
you are still keeping us out of it.
I'm asking you why.
I'm asking you from what.

So we can either do
tonight or
or tomorrow evening. How 'bout you?
IDENTIFICATION
DANIELE VITALI
All right,
let's make it at 8:00, fine. Okay.
[Sofia] Hi, how are you?
[pedestrian] Good, you?
It's been forever
[Sofia] Good. Sorry for being late, but
I had to drop Anthony off before three.
[Weber speaking French] I like Lugano.
It was worth the trip.
[Moreau] Meeting me is always worth it.
[Weber] Oh, really?
[English] The blond guy
and the man in the beige coat.
Across the square at the cafe.
[French] So then let's hope that
this meeting truly fulfills its promise.
[Moreau] You won't be disappointed.
[Diana speaking English] The blond guy's
speaking French with a German accent.
- Bingo.
- Bingo.
[French] With the other half of the apple,
there'll be no time to lose.
Yes, I agree. After all,
we've had to wait for eight years.
[Moreau] Well, it seems like the results
were worth the wait.
Oh, really?
[Moreau] This apple will wreak more havoc
than the one from the Trojan War.
[Luca speaking English]
What the fuck you doing?
[people screaming]
[glass breaking]
[bullets ricocheting]
Ah!
[Luca] Why'd you shoot?
What the hell is it?
Definitely not an apple.
[tense music playing]
[sirens wailing]
He said one fucking thing.
"Do not intervene!" Goddamn it!
The fuck you doing?
DOOR UNLOCKED
I'm stealing a car.
And if they track our position?
Then you can walk!
[tires screeching]
[Luca] Fuck! Fuck!
[siren wailing]
[sirens wailing]
Edo.
Wait a minute.
Can you and I talk?
No, Cecile.
That was humiliating enough.
You're wrong to see it like that.
And how should I see it?
My father's right.
I don't know what you're hiding,
so either tell me now or I'm gonna go.
So now you agree with Ettore?
You really have changed.
[door opens]
You really approve
of how your father runs the agency?
[Edo] No, I don't approve.
And he knows that perfectly well.
I know you, and that you
have your own plan for Manticore.
Sure, but that plan can't happen if you
force us to close down, can it, Cecile?
How does that saying go?
"When one door closes, another one opens."
What about becoming the head
of a new territory
that's bigger?
Think about it.
All that's between us is the Alps.
We turn two territories into one.
Two agencies into one.
And two families into one.
You're suggesting I marry you?
Don't you think
that we already missed that boat?
[sighs] We all have regrets.
But life's long, right?
And you and I,
we will be able to transform
the future of Manticore Europe.
I know you love big ideas,
don't tell me this isn't one.
I'll get back to you.
I have to wait?
You want an answer now?
Well, that is how it usually works.
Well, usually someone's on one knee.
[scoffs]
Give me a day.
[Diana] Luca.
Luca!
Calm down.
You gotta calm down. There's no time.
We have to get outta here!
Oh yeah, and go where?
Where? To Matteo?
And go over every detail
of your gigantic fuck up back there?
You know we had to take it!
Just stop and think for second.
Do you know what that was?
- Yes of course I do, I'm not stupid.
- [laughs]
They were going to swap
two halves of an apple
that they'd worked on for eight years.
It's a weapon.
They found a way
to rebuild the Citadel Technology.
They're doing all this in secret
so they can take their new weapon
and use it against us, Luca!
There was no other option.
[breathing heavily]
Fuck.
There's a way for us to get out of this.
I know there is.
Yeah.
There is.
[suspenseful music playing]
Luca, just listen. Put down the gun, okay?
It's the only option.
If I don't, you know he'll kill me too.
Luca, don't do this. Put down the gun.
[Luca] I'm sorry, Diana.
[grunts]
[both grunting and groaning]
[breathing heavily]
[somber music playing]
[sobbing]
[breathing heavily]
[muffled yelling]
[groans]
I thought we were at the end of our rope,
but working with Cecile could be good.
It opens up a whole new scenario.
Oh, really?
Would you mind explaining this "scenario"?
Actually, I have a guess for you.
I can imagine there
being a scenario where
your anger was all part of an act.
You knew she'd propose, didn't you?
Actually, you could have been the one
to suggest it to her.
That's why you had me come here today.
Well if that were true, wouldn't it be
simpler to tell you my plan?
No.
You don't trust me enough.
It's much easier to just manipulate me.
It always has been.
[cell phone ringing]
Matteo.
[Matteo] Mr. Zani,
the mission in Lugano went haywire.
- There was a shootout.
- What?
[Matteo] One of our agents
killed a French agent.
- [Ettore] Does Cecile know about this?
- [Matteo] Yes.
But she doesn't know it was us.
3-0-1 is missing, only 3-0-8 came back.
How should we proceed?
Interrogate her.
Quickly.
[beeps]
[Diana] They placed
the two objects on the table.
They were about to make the swap.
At which point, Luca opened
3-0-1 opened fire.
The French agent was hit in the head
and went down.
There was a gunfight,
and the German was able to use the chaos
to escape the scene.
Then, 3-0-1 went to the table
and took the object
the French agent had brought.
Looked like some kinda drive,
I'm not exactly sure.
- And then?
- [Diana] And
and then he aimed the gun, at me.
And we fought.
- And he fired at you?
- Yes.
Lucky for you,
he somehow only hit your arm.
How come he didn't kill you?
Because after that,
we heard the sirens approaching.
- 3-0-1 ran off.
- And you?
I broke into a vehicle
and returned to Italy.
Why do you think 3-0-1 would do this?
I don't know.
You'd have to ask him.
[Matteo] Rest assured we will.
- But I'm asking you.
- I don't know.
Why would that idiot take something
without knowing anything
about what it does?
Maybe he was tired
of getting called an idiot,
and wasn't as dumb as you thought.
There was a girl he was seeing.
He wanted out, wanted a blank slate.
Go get yourself stitched up.

We have just received reports
that Flight OT 9732 from Paris to Milan
has crashed in the Alps.
The death toll
is believed to be 87,
but this has yet to be confirmed.
The cause of the crash
remains unknown at this time.
Rescue operations are underway,
but it is unlikely
any of the passengers survived.
It'll be okay it'll be okay.
It'll be okay.
Hey, just breathe.

TRAGEDY IN THE SKIES
INSIDE THE BLACK BOX

[exhales]
Sara!
Sara!
Sara!
[Diana] The black box
was recovered from the crash site
at 8:00 in the morning.
Okay? 8:12 a.m.
Now this is when it got
to the evidence storage warehouse.
What time was that?
- Midnight.
- [Diana] Midnight.
When you look at all the plane crashes
in the last 20 years,
in every case the time between recovery
and delivery is three hours at most.
That's because securing the black box
is the number one priority.
But here, it took almost 16 hours.
[sighs] And then, there's the one witness
who heard the explosion in the sky, right?
And the airline company exec
who completely took back his story.
It all points here.
The black box
was missing for 16 hours.
That doesn't follow any protocol.
You think the real one was switched
to make it look like engine failure?
- [Diana] Yeah.
- By who?
That's the transportation
manager's signature.
The name is illegible,
but it's our only lead.
I need to determine
who they are and who gave the orders.
Where'd you find this document?
[sighs]
I did what none
of the journalists would do,
and I did what none
of the police would do. I did something.
How long since you've slept?
You're such a pain, Sara!
If you think I'm paranoid, just tell me.
- Stop acting like I'm just a total idiot.
- [Sara] No. I didn't say that. No.
Hey, I don't think you're paranoid, but
- [Diana] But?
- I think you should take a break.
For just a little.
You're becoming obsessed, Diana.
You think I'm obsessed, huh?
Sara, I'm not going to be done with this
'till I know why they died
and who killed them.
I'm not going to stop,
just so that's clear.
Where are you going?
[Diana] I'm not hungry.
[Sara] Wait a minute, Diana. Talk to me.
- I just want you to take care of yourself.
- [Diana] I'm trying to talk to you.
I'm trying to explain something to you
- [Sara] Chill out.
- and all you can say is,
"You haven't eaten. You haven't slept."

[Sara] Hey. What's wrong?

What're you doing here?
[Sara] I've been trying
to call you all day.
We're going away, Diana.
We're going somewhere else.
Italy isn't safe anymore.
Hey, you alright?
[sniffing] I'm just tired.
[inhales deeply]
- [exhales]
- Hey. Hey!
Any news?
[Matteo] No.
There still isn't any trace
of agent 3-0-1.
But it's only a matter of time.
I hope so.
[Edo] Mama.
How did the meeting go?
Got a slap in the face,
and a marriage proposal.
From the same person.
[chuckles]
[Julia] Hmm.
[muffled sounds]
- Hey! How are you doing?
- [groans]

- Oh, come on.
Sara, are you my doctor?
She's not, but I am. [chuckles]
- Good evening.
- Evening.
Hello.
[Edo] The heir to an arms empire
weds the daughter
of a telecommunications magnate.
'Be scary even without Manticore.
The reception would be spectacular.
Yeah. It'll be lighthearted,
like a G-8 Summit.
What should I do?
[sighs]
I've always liked Cecile.
Maybe this union isn't such a bad idea.
She's strong like her mother.
[sighs]
Her mother was vicious.
And besides, we already tried.
You were just two kids then.
And today, you're two heirs.
Yes, but I had plans for the agency.
You don't want to think bigger than that?
We don't have
the same vision for Manticore.
[Ettore] And what would that vision be?
Essentially, the one you sold me on
when you brought me in.
The one you tell every new recruit.
"Making the world safe and secure."
That's what we do, isn't it?
No, Father.
That's not what we do.
Call Cecile.
[Edo] And tell her what?
That you were spying on her
while brokering this alliance?
Does she know it was our agent
who killed hers?
Exactly, we know she'll do her research.
And that's why it's so important for us
to wrap up this deal.
I'm going to take the day to decide.
What could possibly change in that time?
I could fall in love.
You know,
I did tell you to talk to him beforehand.
[machine whirring]
Méničre's disease.
How long have you had it?
A long time.
And when was your last attack?
Eight years ago.
Then we need to figure out
why the medication stopped working.
Please, just tell me how I'm doing.
Well, now the situation seems stable.
I'm sure you've been told
that this is an unpredictable
- Mmm.
- incurable disease.
But it is controllable,
because the symptoms
depend on our emotions,
and our emotions depend on us.
There's an exercise I'd recommend.
Could help with things.
Exercise?
[Dr. Paolo] Yes, and don't worry.
It can make you feel a little
weak or put you off-balance,
but a good night's sleep,
- and you should
- No, then no. But, thank you.
Hey.
Hey.
How'd it go?
Fine.
What was wrong?
- Nothing.
- "Nothing."
No, I'm fine, don't worry.
You're such a liar.
How come you carry a gun now?
- Shh! Are you fucking serious?
- The nurses found it
when I brought you in,
I didn't search you.
All right.
Why do you need it?
You're in finance, not law enforcement.
Because lots of people
go around armed in Milan.
- Mm-hmm.
- I'm not the only one.
Isn't that why you live in the country?
Right, you said that you wanted to leave,
but where to?
Are you gonna listen now?
[Diana] Iceland?
We wanted to go somewhere peaceful.
I get it, Sara, but I thought,
like Molise, not fucking Iceland.
There's still actual freedom there.
- There's no control zones.
- No crime.
Yes. There aren't many places
left like that.
Here, it
It's just getting too oppressive.
They're monitoring us everywhere.
- I'm sorry.
- [Diana] Don't apologize.
We're doing it for Adele.
- I know, I know.
- We don't want her to grow up here.
When are you going?
As soon as possible.
Will you be alright?
[chuckles]
We'll be amazing, sure.
- You swear?
- I swear.
- [Diana] Don't cry.
- [chuckles]
You should join us.
[laughs]
In Iceland?
Yes! What do you have here anyway?
My job. I don't know.
[Sara] Yeah, but you're not happy.
You're always in a rush, always on edge.

But it's not in my interest to cheat you.

If, as I understand,

you would be the only one
to have both of them, right?
Twenty million is a lot.

No, you're calling from her phone.
Where the fuck is Sara?
What have you done to her?
[man] It was just a trick.
I'm not with Sara. I'm here with you.
You need to look higher.
What do you want?
[man] To give you three choices.
Option one,
you go to the airline's headquarters
to learn the identity of the man
you're looking for.
And trust me,
that's not a good idea.
Option two, you go home
and you decide to forget the whole thing,
which would be the wisest choice.
But you're not gonna do that.
The third option is you come talk to me.
And you discover the truth.

Who are you?
Gabriele.
You don't need to be afraid.
At least, not of me.
Then who?
Of the ones who brought down
Flight OT 9732.
Who viewed the death of your parents
and eighty-four others
as "collateral damage."
Ever heard of the Zanis?
Their family's one of the biggest
arms manufacturers in Europe,
but they might be involved
in a lot more than that too.
I'm part of an agency that's been trying
to stop people like them.
Anyone making the world
a worse place for us all.
You're a talented young woman.
Strong, intelligent, and angry.
Join us.
We'll get the people
who murdered your parents.
I have the French half of the weapon
and a plan to resurrect Manticore Italy.
Can we talk?
You.
Who are you?
Our name's Citadel.
[Gabriele] Diana.
You're not alone in this.
ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF

[Diana] I wanna know everything.
About Citadel, about the Zanis.
[Ettore] You're pushing for war, Edoardo.
I don't want that.

[Diana] There are things
I just can't explain to you.
I'm your sister.
If you can't confide in me, then who?
You know something I don't.
[Edo] Manticore needs something new.
[Diana] There's a way to get that.
[Edo] Stay alive.
- You can't go home.
- Shit!

What have you turned into?
No one's left behind enemy lines.

to extend safe zones throughout the city.
The demonstrators
accuse the new city council
of using the public safety plan as a means
to boost the military's control
of the city
and increase the number
of surveillance cameras.
The march, which will begin in the early
afternoon at the central station,
will ultimately arrive outside
the Mayor's office at Palazzo Marino.
Meanwhile, the debate
over reducing restrictions
on weapons sales continues to heat up
POLICE
after the Prime Minister
spoke publicly yesterday,
in favor of the new bill.
The new proposal
to deregulate the firearms trade,
based on the American model,
is gaining support
from multiple political parties
and could soon end up in Parliament.

SURVEILLANCE
[Matteo] 3-0-8, 3-0-1.
We discovered something
that we need to act on immediately.
It's a delicate situation.
Your targets
will be other Manticore agents.
Today the founders' meeting is being held,
but a separate meeting will be
taking place in another location
in secret, off the record.
Between an agent from Manticore France
and one from Manticore Germany.
And since Italy wasn't invited,
it'll be interesting to listen in.
So we have to spy on our sister agencies?
[inhales]
The rendezvous
is at the main square in Lugano
this afternoon at 4:00 p.m.
on the dot.
That's everything you need to know.
Do not intervene.
For any reason.
Find out why they're meeting without us,
then report here.

There's nothing new about that.
[Edo] And this?
Is this new enough for you?
And it'll get past any detector,
transform into any of our weapons.
What material is it?
Still thinking of a name.
Let's begin production right away.
I haven't finished the tests.
We need to find other markets.
And new products will attract new clients.
[Edo exhales]
Has something happened?
The Tringalis
tried to pull one over on us.
Need someone more trustworthy
buying from us.
And since when could you trust the mafia?
You could once.

Just about.
Anything else for me, Father?

Cecile.
Wolfgang.
[English] Shall we go in?
As you know, we're here to discuss
the position of Manticore Italy,
following the measures taken
by the European Council of Manticore
eight years ago.
Thank you for coming.
Wolfgang?
The Founding Families have decided
to extend the sanctions
against Manticore Italy
for a further three years.
You still won't have voting rights.
So you still won't take part
in Manticore's global strategy.
Another three years?
I'd like to ask why.
You haven't learned from your mistakes.
You made reckless use of the agency,
which destabilized Italy
more than we would have liked.
And that weakens us, too.
Certainly not because of us.
And you forget
that if we are all still here,
it's because someone stopped Citadel.
You have the nerve to bring that up again?
After what you did?
[Cecile] Gentlemen,
we all know how it went.
You still have your agency
and your agents.
And the largest
arms manufacturing company in the world.
Could have been different,
and you know it.
All I know is that, today,
you are still keeping us out of it.
I'm asking you why.
I'm asking you from what.

Edo.
Wait a minute.
Can you and I talk?
No, Cecile.
That was humiliating enough.
You're wrong to see it like that.
And how should I see it?
My father's right.
I don't know what you're hiding,
so either tell me now or I'm gonna go.
So now you agree with Ettore?
You really have changed.
[door opens]
You really approve
of how your father runs the agency?
[Edo] No, I don't approve.
And he knows that perfectly well.
I know you, and that you
have your own plan for Manticore.
Sure, but that plan can't happen if you
force us to close down, can it, Cecile?
How does that saying go?
"When one door closes, another one opens."
What about becoming the head
of a new territory
that's bigger?
Think about it.
All that's between us is the Alps.
We turn two territories into one.
Two agencies into one.
And two families into one.
You're suggesting I marry you?
Don't you think
that we already missed that boat?
[sighs] We all have regrets.
But life's long, right?
And you and I,
we will be able to transform
the future of Manticore Europe.
I know you love big ideas,
don't tell me this isn't one.
I'll get back to you.
I have to wait?
You want an answer now?
Well, that is how it usually works.
Well, usually someone's on one knee.

Give me a day.
[Diana] Luca.
Luca!
Calm down.
You gotta calm down. There's no time.
We have to get outta here!
Oh yeah, and go where?
Where? To Matteo?
And go over every detail
of your gigantic fuck up back there?
You know we had to take it!
Just stop and think for second.
Do you know what that was?
- Yes of course I do, I'm not stupid.
- [laughs]
They were going to swap
two halves of an apple
that they'd worked on for eight years.
It's a weapon.
They found a way
to rebuild the Citadel Technology.
They're doing all this in secret
so they can take their new weapon
and use it against us, Luca!
There was no other option.
[breathing heavily]
Fuck.
There's a way for us to get out of this.
I know there is.
Yeah.
There is.
[suspenseful music playing]
Luca, just listen. Put down the gun, okay?
It's the only option.
If I don't, you know he'll kill me too.
Luca, don't do this. Put down the gun.

I thought we were at the end of our rope,
but working with Cecile could be good.
It opens up a whole new scenario.
Oh, really?
Would you mind explaining this "scenario"?
Actually, I have a guess for you.
I can imagine there
being a scenario where
your anger was all part of an act.
You knew she'd propose, didn't you?
Actually, you could have been the one
to suggest it to her.
That's why you had me come here today.
Well if that were true, wouldn't it be
simpler to tell you my plan?
No.
You don't trust me enough.
It's much easier to just manipulate me.
It always has been.
[cell phone ringing]
Matteo.
[Matteo] Mr. Zani,
the mission in Lugano went haywire.
- There was a shootout.
- What?
[Matteo] One of our agents
killed a French agent.
- [Ettore] Does Cecile know about this?
- [Matteo] Yes.
But she doesn't know it was us.
3-0-1 is missing, only 3-0-8 came back.
How should we proceed?
Interrogate her.
Quickly.
[beeps]
[Diana] They placed
the two objects on the table.
They were about to make the swap.
At which point, Luca opened
3-0-1 opened fire.
The French agent was hit in the head
and went down.
There was a gunfight,
and the German was able to use the chaos
to escape the scene.
Then, 3-0-1 went to the table
and took the object
the French agent had brought.
Looked like some kinda drive,
I'm not exactly sure.
- And then?
- [Diana] And
and then he aimed the gun, at me.
And we fought.
- And he fired at you?
- Yes.
Lucky for you,
he somehow only hit your arm.
How come he didn't kill you?
Because after that,
we heard the sirens approaching.
- 3-0-1 ran off.
- And you?
I broke into a vehicle
and returned to Italy.
Why do you think 3-0-1 would do this?
I don't know.
You'd have to ask him.
[Matteo] Rest assured we will.
- But I'm asking you.
- I don't know.
Why would that idiot take something
without knowing anything
about what it does?
Maybe he was tired
of getting called an idiot,
and wasn't as dumb as you thought.
There was a girl he was seeing.
He wanted out, wanted a blank slate.
Go get yourself stitched up.

[Diana] The black box
was recovered from the crash site
at 8:00 in the morning.
Okay? 8:12 a.m.
Now this is when it got
to the evidence storage warehouse.
What time was that?
- Midnight.
- [Diana] Midnight.
When you look at all the plane crashes
in the last 20 years,
in every case the time between recovery
and delivery is three hours at most.
That's because securing the black box
is the number one priority.
But here, it took almost 16 hours.
[sighs] And then, there's the one witness
who heard the explosion in the sky, right?
And the airline company exec
who completely took back his story.
It all points here.
The black box
was missing for 16 hours.
That doesn't follow any protocol.
You think the real one was switched
to make it look like engine failure?
- [Diana] Yeah.
- By who?
That's the transportation
manager's signature.
The name is illegible,
but it's our only lead.
I need to determine
who they are and who gave the orders.
Where'd you find this document?

I did what none

Hey, I don't think you're paranoid, but

- I think you should take a break.
For just a little.
You're becoming obsessed, Diana.
You think I'm obsessed, huh?
Sara, I'm not going to be done with this
'till I know why they died
and who killed them.
I'm not going to stop,
just so that's clear.

I've always liked Cecile.
Maybe this union isn't such a bad idea.
She's strong like her mother.

Her mother was vicious.
And besides, we already tried.
You were just two kids then.
And today, you're two heirs.
Yes, but I had plans for the agency.
You don't want to think bigger than that?
We don't have
the same vision for Manticore.
[Ettore] And what would that vision be?
Essentially, the one you sold me on
when you brought me in.
The one you tell every new recruit.
"Making the world safe and secure."
That's what we do, isn't it?
No, Father.
That's not what we do.
Call Cecile.
[Edo] And tell her what?
That you were spying on her
while brokering this alliance?
Does she know it was our agent
who killed hers?
Exactly, we know she'll do her research.
And that's why it's so important for us
to wrap up this deal.
I'm going to take the day to decide.
What could possibly change in that time?
I could fall in love.

Well, now the situation seems stable.

But it is controllable,

- The nurses found it
when I brought you in,
I didn't search you.
All right.
Why do you need it?
You're in finance, not law enforcement.
Because lots of people
go around armed in Milan.

Isn't that why you live in the country?
Right, you said that you wanted to leave,
but where to?
Are you gonna listen now?

We wanted to go somewhere peaceful.
I get it, Sara, but I thought,

Yes. There aren't many places
