Mammon (2014) s01e02 Episode Script

- It shouldn't be personal.
- You have to take responsibility.
Daniel Veras embezzled 2.
3 million.
- They say you misappropriated the money.
Did you? - What do you think? - You're sending your brother to jail? - He managed that by himself.
This is about Andreas.
Promise to look after the boy.
- Who's your source in Hungary? - All the facts point towards Daniel.
You don't even know who started it.
Someone may have been tricked.
Sophia, the source.
It's your brother, you had contact with.
It was him.
I have to go home.
Then I want to work in the sport section.
You shouldn't warn against us! For five years you've been playing Mother Teresa.
I'm lawyer Runa Torgersen.
It's from your late husband.
How do you know my brother? Abraham! You know nothing.
- Do you know who that is? - Age Haugen.
On the front page of today's newspaper.
Do you know anything about him? Did he know Daniel? I've never seen him before.
- Abraham.
Have you heard that name? - No.
- It's only men who do that.
- Daniel wasn't going to do it.
- Daniel hadn't thought of anything.
- Daniel warned us.
And whom does that tell you most about? Daniel or him? Who could know that we're here now? Who the hell knows we're here now? - Do you think I called? - Evening Post is featuring him.
Could Daniel and Haugen have had anything to do with each other? - Leave now! - Shall we run away from to the police? Don't tell me what to do.
Get going.
Ok? Are you staying? It will be broadcasted in every channel.
Is that what you want? Go on! - What's your explanation? - You weren't here.
- What are you going to do now? - Trust me.
Run! Age Haugen said he wanted to talk to you.
Drives you here.
Drops you off and drives the car into the water.
You jump into the water, drag him out of the car, get him on shore And then he shoots himself.
What did he say? - I'm a journalist.
He's a source.
- He's a dead man.
- He's a source.
- Do I have to read what he said to your newspaper? Can I get a lift back? I could have arrested you.
But then I'd have a lot of your kind swarming around.
Where have you been? Meeting with a client.
Really embarrassing stuff.
I get crazy with all the nonsense.
I had to shout at grown men.
I met Peter today.
At the cemetery.
He drives an old blue Toyota.
Just like the one at the end of the street.
I haven't seen him, but I've been with four other men.
They wanted to switch the audit firm - What have you done now? - How did you know? From the police? Much worse! Times World, Daily Business Hello! Long time no see, come in.
I've just made some soup.
Light the candles, will you? I'll get an extra plate.
- I know some Times World people.
- I got a lift back from the police.
You call me when the police is there.
Can't we have a little break while we eat? - Do you want dessert? - Yes please.
It was very good.
How the hell can you go to Age again? Someone pressured him to shoot himself.
I saw it in his eyes.
- He was damn scared of something.
- You saw that in his eyes? He said something else.
I'll tell you.
But then I have to be involved in the case.
- Do you think anyone will work with you? - Research.
I need full access.
I may have mentioned that the chief editor is a bit stupid and erratic.
But in this case he'll be very predictable and not stupid.
I just want to know what happened.
Inger Marie will be the writer.
Either we can find this out together - or else the other newspapers will write about it.
Are you threatening me? Haugen came to me, not to you.
Did he come to you after you scared the shit out of his wife? - Why did he do it? - I don't know.
- But he is part of something bigger.
- Oh yes? - The dessert is ready.
- Yes.
We're coming.
Goodbye, Peter.
I can't lose the job.
Not now.
Come in to work tomorrow.
But you won't get into the news section gain.
- Tell them I have what they need.
- You have no credibility.
You need to find someone else who believes in you.
He's in the newsroom for this one case only? Yes.
We can't take the chance of letting him continue on his own.
- How much does he know? - He knows a bit.
I don't think we can take the risk.
He was the last one who spoke to Haugen.
Not one hour more than neccessary.
I'll join the meeting tomorrow.
Gjermund from Times World.
Can you tell me what you were doing on the beach today? - Did the police tip you? - You know that, Peter.
What were you doing when Haugen took his life? That's a pretty stupid question.
The question is still stupid.
There's no point in calling a competitor.
- You're the news.
- Suicide as news? - This is a tragedy for the family.
- This is about you.
I shouldn't have been on the beach.
You have been present at a suicide before.
I could lose my job.
Journalists don't write about what other journalists are doing.
Turn off the recorder.
Put it in your pocket.
So get this right.
No.
You'll remember this.
I think he was pressured into killing himself.
- Do you believe that, or do you know? - Know.
From what he said.
Okay.
- Hey, it's me.
- Only scraps left from the dinner now.
- What can you tell us about Abraham? - Can't you find that out from the internet? - What did Daniel have to do with Abraham? - Daniel? What did Daniel have to do to Abraham? Do you know or don't you? There's a lot to say about both, but not about them toghether.
The worst thing is that you don't know anything about our ancestor.
- You can come by in the morning.
- I'll come this evening.
- Directory Enquiries.
- Vibeke Haglund, Economic Crime, thanks.
I have no listing for her.
Can you put me through to Katrine Myhre in Telenor? - Hey, it's Katrine.
- Hello.
Peter.
Are you at work? - Yes.
What is it now? - The phone number of Vibeke Haglund? - Kjolberggata.
- An unlisted number.
- And what is it? - Peter, I can't.
- I'm not allowed to.
- Sure.
So you owe me.
- Don't you work for the sports section? - Think of it as a sport.
- 901 97 689 Peter, you mustn't - Thank you.
Let's not take this now.
You requested it.
You brought the Bible? Bring something to write on.
You might learn something.
- What do you know? - Abraham is the father of Judaism - But what do you know that's important? - Not very much.
Nothing.
Willingness to sacrifice everything for their God.
- The willingness to sacrifice isn't important here.
- Wasn't it about Daniel? Then that's the most important thing here.
I'm not interested in theology, but Abraham's symbolic value.
The name.
What does it mean, and what can it have to do with my brother.
These are symbolic values.
Wasn't that what you asked? - Are there CCTV cameras in the church? - We've had a few burglaries.
What was he doing in the church? This is the morning before he killed himself.
- What's he yelling? - It's what he's yelling at.
What's important is what he's yelling at.
Abraham.
He's screaming at a painting of Abraham's victim.
- What kind of a painting is it? - An altarpiece.
Donated anonymously through the bishop.
A renowned artist.
Got it last year.
- Who's the artist? - Wrong question.
Who's the donor? - Yes? - Daniel.
I had to put pressure on the bishop to find out.
And show him the video.
This is Daniel's last message.
You don't have anything to do with this? Who do you think Daniel means sacrificed his son for his faith? Why haven't you said anything to me about this? Or to mom? - Hadn't she been hurt enough? - Well yes, she had.
Abraham didn't sacrifice the child.
God saved him.
Isn't that enough for today? You need to sleep.
- Do you know who Age Haugen is? - Who is he? Peter? Drop by for dinner some day, will you Hi, this is Vibeke - Where do we start today? - With the department secretary.
Impartiality question.
We should delay treatment until after the congress.
You have to distinguish between what we were elected for, and what I can be elected for.
You won't get less respect in the party if you don't ask Parliament to argue We work for everyone, not just the congress.
Then I don't understand why you're running for party leader.
I was asked to run.
Cancel all appointments until lunch.
Did you know him? Hello, Vibeke.
Where are you, hiding? Call me back.
Coffee? New job? In Times World? The most important thing is the content, not who prints it.
When the police calls Times World before the investigating the body - You've put Sports on the map.
- It went from bad to worse yesterday.
- Talk about shitting in your own nest.
- If you have to, you have to You are ok? Yes? I'm coming.
Bring coffee and chocolate.
Don't know if you get it where you're going.
Why is no one calling me? That front-page screams that I'm totally out of the loop.
You have contacts among journalists, you're online Why don't you use it? I want everything on Haugen's life here before 12:00.
- At least you read the newspapers.
- Peter Veras is trying to get a hold of me.
You aren't with him anymore.
You owe him nothing.
- Want to come by for a cup of coffee? - Yes, after 12:00.
Bye.
- Hello.
- How are you? Why couldn't you pick me up yourself? - Did you know what he was doing? - Are you crazy? Thank you.
I just don't know why you couldn't come home to me.
Don't talk to anyone about me.
- Don't talk to reporters about me.
- But why? For your own sake.
It can be difficult to understand.
The car behind will take you home.
The mood is great, I see? - Where do we stand? - Yeah Haugen has tragically dragged Peter into this matter.
Inger Marie is open to him coming back.
The chief editor and I have discussed this.
The question boils down to Will Peter be working on the Haugen case, and only the Haugen case? Since yesterday I have observed a gigantic occupational suicide.
We'll be back in the lead on this.
And you will do it without Peter.
We didn't kill Haugen.
We have something better here than to write about directors who can't handle the responsibility.
How do you think you can work in the newsroom for this newspaper again? This is how it will be.
The lawyer told me not to say too much.
But what you have done to my newspaper, is nothing compared to what you will experience.
Just sit about and wait until I've decided on the reason for sacking you.
- Apparently it's important to choose only one.
- There are better ways to proceed.
You have dragged us into a quagmire like this before.
The clowns are returning to the stage, but now we'll stop it now.
After all this is the workplace for over 800 people.
Jan? You will work with Inger Marie.
Jensen should be included, so we can squeeze something good out of this.
You have three days.
Then we'll create the best Saturday edition ever.
Make me proud.
Peter, get out.
Yes.
- Three days? - We should have Peter tell I let him take pin order to get this over the line.
You aren't afraid Peter will go to Times World? We have better stories about their employees than they have on us.
No more Peter in the Times World? I don't think he knows shit.
He's bluffing.
- You disappoint me.
- I found someone who believed me.
- So you go to Times World? - They'd write about me anyway.
Yes.
But they couldn't quote you directly.
They threatened to write about my brother's case.
What would you want me to do? Then you decide to lie? Haugen was pressured.
I'm sure you know that too.
- Pressured? With what? - I'll find out in my spare time.
I'm going to the bathroom.
Alone.
- May I ask where we are going? - We're after the biggest fish.
- Not Haugen? That fish is on land.
- Hello? - Hello.
It's Yvonne Haugen.
Hello.
I'm sorry about what happened.
- I need to talk to you.
- That can be arranged.
- Can you come now? Right away? - Fine.
- Coffee? - Yes please.
A lot of people have contacted me after he died.
But only you spoke to me before it happened.
What did Age do? And why? Some men can't handle the fall.
The same thing happened to my brother.
Not Age.
Age didn't want to die.
Let me show you something.
He told me to take the kids and disappear if anything happened to him.
They look genuine, but that's not my name.
You can trust me.
I was told not to talk to anyone.
But my son He's in South America and I need help so that I know what to do.
Who says you can't talk to anyone? Terje Hjorth.
He was here with a driver, a support vehicle and the entire security team.
- The Minister of Justice.
- Don't tell anyone about this.
He was the best man at our wedding.
Our friend.
- I'm sorry.
- I'll tell you what I know.
Your husband said one word to me.
"Abraham".
Do you know if it had importance to him? A person - He called this painting "Abraham".
- Is that your husband? Our son.
Age was always so afraid something might happen to him.
What should I do? - Mom? - Hello, my friend.
- Is the film finished already? - Who is that man? - A friend.
- Where's Dad? Dad's travelling, sweetheart.
- By subway? - You should mix with ordinary people.
- I did that.
They bullied me.
- Age Haugen.
I have to go to his funeral.
We were friends.
Close friends.
- That's not what you need right now.
- Close friends? - I will be talked about here anyway.
- People will have something on you now.
- I was his best man.
- Is there anything else I should know? - As in what ordinary people would want to know? - That's more than enough.
Haugen co-operated with Tom Lied.
He worked here at Paragon.
They did a lot of things by together.
Then Lied got fired, and 5 years later he's worth billions.
The biggest economical comet in Norway's history.
He did something, but no one figured out what.
- We will.
- Why then, did we write about Haugen? We pushed on a button to see what happened.
- We'd like to talk to Jon Stensrud.
- Yes.
You have a visitor.
You keep shut.
Nobody has been granted access here before.
The old boys' club have to do something about the rumors at Oslo Stock Exchange.
Hello.
Is there a more beautiful view than pregnant women? Thank you for getting us access.
I don't have time to help you, but my secretary can help.
Don't get lost.
The coffee is in here.
3 kroner per cup, but it's on me.
It probably helped that Inger Marie promised to keep his business affairs excluded.
- It's a big room but I hear quite well.
- It was a joke.
Ask me what's the most important feature in humour.
- What is the? - Timing.
We do this to give the industry a better reputation.
I lose money on it.
It's possible there's something good in my agenda as well.
The person you're seeking, isn't Norway's Gekko, but Norway's Gatsby.
A gangster.
She's called the Dragon of the Anteroom.
She simply overshades me.
- Good luck.
- Come with me, guys.
Here are the papers.
Put everything back the way you found it.
No documents may be brought out without my approval.
You take last year, you the first.
We're looking for investment opportunities with Haugen and Lied's names.
Overloading us with documents is the oldest trick in the book.
- I'm the one in charge here.
- Over him.
I'm no assistant.
I have a list of company names and people to look for.
If you thought the good stuff is handed on a silver platter, you should have become a waiter.
- Your son wants talk to you.
- Ask him to leave a message.
He isn't on the phone - We can wait outside for a moment.
- No - You shouldn't come here.
I'm working.
- It's my uncle.
It's dad's jacket.
You lied to me.
We don't lie, you said.
He will keep us out of it.
- You've been with him.
- I made out with him at a party.
Before I met your dad, and before we moved to Bergen.
I was at the beach yesterday and saw the man shoot himself.
Had I been there still when the police arrived, I'd also be on the cover page.
Therefor I lied.
He promised to keep us out of it.
- It has nothing to do with us.
- And why were you at the beach? - I can take the rest of the day off.
- No.
Did you miss me? What do you want? I'm to give you a message from Vibeke.
You should leave her alone.
I'll do as I please.
So she sent her boss? Ex-boss.
I'm here as a friend.
Perhaps the only one she has.
- We were together for three years.
- She just wants peace, she said.
You sent your boss.
You could've come by yourself.
Ex-boss.
I'm not there anymore.
I lost my job and I saw a man shoot himself in the head.
Then you won't talk to me anymore? We have something going on.
A lawyer arrived with a suitcase from my brother.
- I'm done with that.
- Are you scared again? I'm sick, Peter.
I try to keep healthy, but it won't let go.
Sorry, Vibeke.
I I thought you were angry.
You could've come and told me.
I can't go out.
I don't go out.
That's what's sick.
I don't want to talk about your brother.
But you can get a cup of tea.
- Coffee? - Tea.
- Coffee.
- Coffee isn't good for you, you know.
- Maybe you should tidy it away? - Typical man to believe that that would help.
- That there are switches you just turn on and off.
- And ladies understand that? Was it my fault? You can't talk like that.
Not even to me.
- I don't like to wrap things - Sorry.
- The journalist is here.
- I'll talk to him myself.
You don't have to comment.
They'll write something anyway.
Yes, but I'll ask him not to.
- It will just be a confirmation for them.
- I don't think so.
Say I'll be there in 15 minutes.
I'll just call my wife first.
We'll continue later.
Everything stops here.
The graph was rising year by year, and then suddenly everything collapsed, in the autumn of 2008.
What happened here? There are large potential sales, - and then just within a few weeks.
Something must have happened.
You know who died in 2008? - He's investigating his brother again.
- His brother? What do you know? That it's the cup final.
And Rosenborg starts in 4-4-2 formation.
You're trying to find out what happened to your brother.
- Admit it and tell me what you know.
- Why should I tell you? You owe me an explanation: I won't end up in that shit again.
- Haugen had something to do with Hjorth.
- The Minister of Justice? I promised Yvonne Haugen to keep it quiet.
If you burn me, you will to lose my trust.
- He knows about the Minister.
- I'm coming now.
Hello! Hello! - Peter? - Where's Andreas? - Someone's been in my apartment.
- He There was a burglary in my apartment.
Someone is looking for Andreas.
I was there.
Why are you following me and my mom? Stop believing I'm after your mother.
I promised your father I'd take care of you.
So he breaks into my apartment.
Assaults me, hits me.
Scares me with a picture with blood on it.
I didn't do that.
I didn't hit you.
I don't know who's behind this.
But it has something to do with your dad.
And you too.
Come.
I'll show you something.
- It's perverse to take pictures of us.
- I promised to follow up.
I have done what I promised, for five years.
Call it what you will.
Hello, Vibeke.
How are you? I'd really like to help.
I think it can help me.
I'm coming over in the morning.
I'm with someone sources.
Okay.
Bye.
Some countries have prison sentences for such bad coffee.
In some countries people are polite.
I want to go there.
Don't show light in the window.
Someone might call the police.
This is nonsense.
Yes.
But now we'll see what he wants.
This painting was given to the church by your father one year before he died.
What does this have to do with Andreas? Abraham's sacrifice.
You couldn't stay away? How long have you known this painting was of Andreas? It was very special.
Why did he give it to me? The date Was it painted on afterwards? It's a Bible verse.
1 Genesis, chapter 22, verse 10 "Abraham stretched forth his hand to slay his son.
But the angel of the Lord cried out Lay not thy hand upon the lad, for now I know you fear God.
" The biggest sacrifice in the Christian faith, to sacrifice your own son.
22.
10.
That's a date.
It's the date when Daniel and Age Haugen took their own lives.
It was painted one year before? - And you knew nothing? - This is nothing.
I was knocked down an hour ago.
And you call this nothing? What do you know? I think someone threatened to kill Andreas and Haugen's son.
- Can you drive off somewhere else? - It isn't against the law to be here.
This is a sacred place.
You are not wanted - unless you're here to pray.
If so then mobile phones are unnecessary.
Get lost, or come out and pray.
Or maybe I should draw the script on your hood? First commandment - Fucking hell! - You swear here, you bastard! - We have to find a hotel for you.
- There's another possibility.
Tore? You've got a big house.
Can Andreas stay with you? Let's go.
It's time you too became known.
- You don't know him.
- Oh no? Then perhaps I'll stay there too.
