Mammon (2014) s01e03 Episode Script

This is Andreas.
You have to promise to look after the boy.
Sophia, the source.
It's your brother, you were in contact with.
It was him.
- Abraham! - What did Abraham have to do with Daniel? He's screaming at the picture of Abraham's sacrifice in my church.
- This was Daniel's last message.
- You know who Age Haugen is? Haugen worked with Tom Lied.
No one have got so rich so quickly without explanation.
You're looking for Norway's Gatsby.
A gangster.
Age was pressured to kill himself.
He's called Abraham.
He's our son.
- Age was afraid something would happen to him.
- I don't know who's behind it.
It's something to do with your father.
And you.
- Who said you can't talk to anyone? - Terje Hjorth.
- The Minister of Justice.
- The date.
Was it added afterwards? There's a Bible somewhere.
The biggest sacrifice in the Christian faith.
- To sacrifice his own son.
- 22.
10.
is a date.
It's the date when Daniel and Age Haugen took their own lives.
We'll find an explanation, and then it'll be over.
- This is just the beginning.
- How can you say that? Shouldn't you stay out of it? Take care of Andreas.
I'll ask a colleague, she'll help with it.
- She doesn't know about it? - No.
Arrange accommodation for three persons.
- So he can't sleep away on his own - And I need a spare key.
Yes, come in.
.
Andreas stays in Peter's old room.
Eva stays in the guest room.
I'll get towels and toothbrushes.
Then we'll get some food afterwards.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Inger Marie's asleep.
Okay.
Could you tell her: Peter needs help? Yes, but she's asleep.
I need help.
There's something you must see.
- I won't and I'm not allowed to.
- This is just an exchange.
Now.
- Does your husband think you work too much? - My ex put work ahead of everything.
I left him, so now I have to endure experience the same.
But into my personal life you're not invited.
Inger Marie.
Vibeke.
- Nice.
- Congratulations.
Are you involved in the newspaper's investigation? - We have worked together a bit after that.
- Yes, we have worked together a bit.
Who tipped you off about Age Haugen? - There are many sources.
- Who? You don't know.
I bet my job, it is one of these two.
You know how to tempt a weak woman.
- Give her your PC.
- How will she find out? - E-mail and chat password? - Can't you just hack in? Can you just chit-chat? I need some time.
How long did she keep out with you? Did you get dumped? For three years.
And then we dug into my brother's case.
It was mutual.
That I should be dumped.
Change a bit.
Remove the two most annoying things about you.
- What are those two things? - I have him.
- You have to find out yourself.
- I found the IP address.
Then I can trace the address that is used in the signature.
And the person is - But why? - He wanted to be revealed.
- But why did he take his life? - My brother was my anonymous tipper.
- Your brother? - They both did the same thing.
No one investigates a suicide.
They wanted to be caught? And then they used us to Be their executioners.
They had to take their lives.
Why did he send e-mails to me in his own name? Age Haugen? - What is this attachment? - I couldn't open it.
The file is corrupt.
Yes.
I need to go.
Will you drive me home? - What about the deal? - Meet me tomorrow at 12:00.
- What's going on? - I'll tell you in the morning.
Will you stay? I'd like to go through what we have.
I'll take a taxi.
- Did you see how jealous she was? - Still conceited? The corrupt file is a video.
But I can open it.
- Did you copy it? - The entire drive.
There's something seriously wrong with that woman.
Daddy? Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Whose child was it? I have no idea.
You must go to Andreas.
- You come with me.
- The children are under threat, not me.
Get off.
Go! In the kitchen, the living room, library, stairs, hallway downstairs and upstairs There are 14 pictures of you here, and the only one with Daniel.
One picture.
- Why is that? - I don't think we should stay here.
Hello.
Nobody can anticipate that someone will shoots himself.
Then wouldn't have happened.
Talked to Times World? We're working on some scenarios for Friday.
Don't waste resources.
You don't know what can happen between now and Friday.
Like what? - Times World catches up from another angle.
- That's not the news.
- You know something we don't? - Not yet.
- That's why they sell so many newspapers.
- They do have a larger circulation.
Out! Or stay there by the door.
You can't fire the clever people and ask employees to pay for their own coffee.
We were in the driver's seat in this case.
And then he's the best man? - Did we know? - Of course.
- We have a case, not tabloid news.
- What can we do now? The case has parallels to Veras' suicide You've talked to Peter.
Don't be naive, Inger Marie.
The Minister must be top priority.
3000% focus.
The Minister trumps finance always.
There's no contradiction here.
Lied and the Minister.
Haugen and Veras.
- We should keep all options open.
- Just keep your priorities in order.
But stay away from Peter.
Him our lawyers will take care of.
- Find out what Peter knows.
- Peter doesn't trust me anymore.
You'll get it out of him.
We shouldn't let him stay at Tore.
No.
I agree.
But we have no choice.
Hello? What do you know about Abraham? Abraham is the ancestor of Jews, Christians and Muslims.
Then there's no reason to mess with my stuff to find out more.
I should have given you a warning.
I'm a priest, a recluse.
Programmed to use big words.
Uppercase.
It's breakfast soon.
Forgive an old man.
I'm odd.
You were born to live alone, my wife always said.
She probably meant it well.
Why did you keep Peter's room as is, but not my father's? - What did your father tell you? - Nothing.
You were a non-issue.
I though it was because you were strange.
I couldn't work it out between us.
Before I lost him, forever.
Work what out? I'll tell you when we know each other better.
Daniel took everything and he moved out.
He was angry.
That's why there are memories here of Peter, and not of your father.
I just have to press send.
Want to call the police? We are the police.
Why did Haugen cry on your pillow? - I won't talk about my sources.
- He contacted you between 12:00 and 16:00? He had no coverage.
- He probably had more sophisticated equipment.
- He sat here for questioning.
- No phone.
On video.
- We think you're full of shit.
We don't believe your explanation.
That's not my problem.
- Why should we believe you? - When we know you're full of shit? - Who took the picture? - Who's the woman? - It's a source.
- It's your sister-in-law.
Haugen was a sick man, but she shouldn't suffer for that.
She doesn't deserve that.
If you drag her in just to make a fucking big show, you'll get more attention than you can dream of.
You're in Sports.
Will you give us a yellow card? You forgot to ask the most important question: Who took the picture? Who said we don't know? Someone wants to harm you.
They are the two biggest celebrity hunters in CID.
- Why this concern? - You're bad at relationships, - but not necessarily a criminal.
- What do you think? - I won't tell that to reporters.
Hello.
I've been looking all night.
No photos of missing children.
I expanded the search to all Europe.
Open the emails Inger Marie got from Haugen and check the times.
And the video.
It can't be sent by him.
He was being interrogated by the police.
It can't have been sent by him.
- Why would? - Someone pretended to be Haugen.
Someone wanted to give us more information than Haugen intended.
- The email account was used after his death.
- By whom? I can only see that the account was used, and when it was sent.
- Accepted, but not what.
- Can we find out? - In a bit.
- Damn! Your delicious brain deserves praise.
Can I tell Inger Marie? Yes.
You should examine all the notes, documents, emails, and transcriptions.
- What are you doing? - Explore places where you can't go.
Hello.
You couldn't have changed the jacket? Tom Lied cooperated with Haugen.
I think they earned enormous sums during the banking crisis because they had insight into the government policy.
Lied is smart, so let me talk.
- Hello.
Yes? - We have an appointment at 12:30.
- I figured you were too late.
- The 12:30 appointment is here.
Are you embarrassed by pretty girls, Peter? - I didn't remember he was so handsome.
- He's the PR manager.
Former desk manager.
Hello, Peter.
Nice to meet you.
Inger Marie.
Wow! Congratulations.
Let's set up the agenda.
You've been hanging around Paragon for several days.
An alarm goes off whenever people like you pass the pier.
Just because people don't like my boss, doesn't mean he did anything wrong.
Oh my God, how nice! Two journalists.
- Peter.
- Tom.
- I'm with Peter Veras.
Ok? - Of course.
Congratulations.
I just have to change first.
Would you take care of our guests? - Would you like something to drink? - Coffee, please.
Good.
I'll also have something to drink.
Hello.
Everything okay? You got your coffee Very nice place.
Room for another PR Manager? It was supposed to be a portrait interview.
But now your name popped up.
It tends to do that.
How do we get a close and accurate portrait of my personality? You've brought a sports journalist.
Or are you here to take pictures? - You are from Fredrikstad? - Ormen, just outside Fredrikstad.
But Vinderen girls like you can't distinguish the difference.
- Cake and all.
- Oh yes.
- You are from the outside, you said? - Outside of Fredrikstad.
And here.
- It's my great weakness and strength.
- Strength? Age Haugen taught me one thing: Norway is a small country.
But he was wrong.
- Wrong? - Don't repeat everything I say.
He thought if you just knew someone, you also knew the shortcuts.
- But you need perspective.
- How do you get that? What is? - The method? - The secret? The talent? You've had impressive expansions in recent years.
I have perspective and do the opposite of what most people do.
If one accepts the status quo, you only work for the interests of few.
Some say the devil's best trick was to convince everyone he doesn't exist.
- My favourite movie.
- The film wasn't true to its sources.
Baudelaire was.
But I think he was wrong too.
Do you like French poets, Vinderen-girl? Is it possible to gain insight into who invested in "Lied Invest"? - Is the portrait interviewed over? - Start-up capital? - You did have a great deal of money.
- Can you keep a secret? - Yeah.
- Me too.
- I didn't think you had any.
- I didn't have a secret method.
- Ask a question he'd answer.
I'm trying to figure out what happened to Age Haugen's plans.
- You knew his brother? - Daniel? Veritable Truth itself? No.
Several didn't.
- What is it with men? - Yes, what is it with men? I have to take this.
Sorry.
Yes, what is it? - You asked me to call.
- Oh yes, is that so.
My brother and Age Haugen knew each other.
What did they have in common? Money, I guess.
- There's a lot I could tell - Are you quite sure? Sure? Cardboard boxes, papers Can you mail it over right away? Terrific.
Bye! Sorry.
I just have to open an attachment I had sent over.
Yes, here it is: Someone with a position in the government apparatus, with invaluable insight into the banking crisis, was Age Haugen's partner.
Is it also your method? - What? - To cooperate with people in government? No.
I never cooperate with politicians.
They don't understand politics.
Then they hardly understand what I do.
- You know anything? - No.
No connections? What I do, is difficult.
If we found out otherwise, would you be surprised? Terrified.
What were we doing there? He revealed nothing.
I got him to feel safe.
He was lying like crazy.
Haugen, Lied and the Minister had an illicit relationship.
- Do you have any evidence? - Soon.
I'll find documentation.
- But you haven't.
- When we find evidence - I have just three days.
- So you run with proof that you don't have? I find it, and we have on tape that he's lying.
That he denies everything.
What happened to you? If you think I'm stupid, then I'm playing stupid.
Of course.
I know where the person pretending to be Age Haugen will be tonight.
I found fragments of an email.
The sender confirmed the invitation.
Autumn festival at Treschow tonight.
The person who sent the video of the child will be at the party.
No.
It won't do.
The person that I think pressured Daniel and Haugen will be at the party.
I can't go there with you.
I'll become Daniel's widow straight away.
For Andreas's sake.
Over 100 guests were invited.
And you have only half an email message.
That's all I have.
Mind if I look in the books? Looking at books is the finest thing you can do with your life.
- Why did Dad start in business? - To annoy me.
He managed that.
God was the first economist.
But he was first and foremost a socialist.
- Dad? - God.
I'm going to the library.
Want anything from there? No.
I have enough to read.
- You don't have the full view by yourself.
- Relax.
I hope to trigger something.
- Can't Inger Marie help you? - She can't.
But Eva's there.
- I can come and help out.
- No.
- You should look for ripples in the water.
- Yes, see everything by yourself.
- I smelt fuses before.
- Your job is not to make me sick.
- Nausea? - Wrong word.
I have faith.
7th commandment: Thou shalt not steal.
They are for the guests.
- You can't go up now.
- He will see me.
Hello.
You didn't answer your phone.
Budget negotiations.
Everyone wants more, but we have less than ever.
I need painter's phone number.
- The painting that your son donated? - Celebrities of his calibre - clearly aren't in the phonebook.
Do you have it? I have it.
Why dig into it now? Let's call it an attempt to understand ones family.
- Hello? - We've found what you're looking for.
- Signatures? - Yes.
Lied and Hjorth.
- The Minister.
- Yes, I know.
You must get hold of the documents.
We need the real ones.
You'll have to borrow them.
- The dragon is here.
- Be creative.
I've never cooperated with politicians - He's lying in black and white.
- In mono, you mean.
Lied and the Minister? I considered voting for the party because of him.
That was the day before the congress.
- I think I'm going to give birth! - Don't do it here.
No, see there.
Eva! You came.
There are worse escorts, if not in Norway.
What does Mathiesen think about you taking care of the beautiful people? - There are worse people to hang out with.
- Stroke us with the hairs this evening.
I'll behave myself properly to set a new standard.
- I'm not opposed to small scandals.
- Talk to yo later.
- Hello, hello.
- How nice.
This will help to embarrass him.
Now it's important to keep your mouth shut.
This will be in print in two days.
But first the Minister will have to comment it.
- In the morning.
- As if that wasn't enough A press photo from an Italian newspaper.
About a year ago.
The Minister visiting Rome.
Outside the official program.
- It's Yvonne Haugen.
- Arm in arm with Mr.
Morality.
- This shouldn't appear in print first? - It doesn't hurt to go out with two stories.
We're not publishing that tomorrow? I promised to keep Yvonne Haugen out of it.
The image was sent to me.
This is politics and morals.
You need to talk to the minister and get his version.
- Meanwhile - In the meantime? We are not becoming a gossip-paper! You have to see this in context.
First, focus on breaking the law.
Then follow up with morals.
If you can snag him on the first, then you can show character weakness.
Others might also have the photo? If you let Jensen get away with this, no newspaper will show you any mercy.
There's a correct procedure, and a fucking rubbish one.
I haven't endorsed Jensen's proposal.
I wanted to hear it first.
You must discuss proposals before you decide.
I agree with you.
Print the issues as they stand, so no need to use the newspaper story to get the point across.
- Do you find anyone guilty? - They all are.
But maybe not the ones we're looking for.
I should probably take a familiar tone.
Self-scandalizing.
Twice in the same day.
That's a lot.
- It'll be every day henceforth.
- Suddenly smitten? Admiration from afar: A real and raw infatuation, which I hope is reciprocated.
Then you must stop meeting others.
And you must give something.
This is for charity.
- Give as much a journalist have a heart for.
- That's not much.
- I take what I can get.
- And a little more than that too.
Hello! Hello, Andreas? This is a happy day for us.
I like friends.
And challenges.
One experience too little of both.
Not good for my character.
But we appreciate what's really of value: friendship.
Let me introduce my latest addition to the endangered species list Friends of Frederick's.
Tom Lied! He gets the bell today.
Theodor.
The new nickname that Fredrik gave me.
Theodor the teddy bear.
Raise your glasses! Cheers for Fredrik and this evenings charity: children's village in Malawi! For every krone you donate, I give two.
I already gave 10 million, so we will probably have to find more villages.
Cheers for Fredrik! Cheers for this evening! Andreas, you weren't here.
I drove out looking for you.
Call me back, please.
Yes I was asked to give by Tom Theodor.
Loyalty was mentioned.
Compared to you I'll come up short.
What am I willing to sacrifice for a good cause? Loyalty isn't about doing good.
You show loyalty when you do something for someone you wouldn't normally do.
That is to sacrifice something of yours or someone else's.
True loyalty is to go beyond your limits, from light to dark.
And speaking of God's many gifts.
Abraham one of God's favourites, was asked to sacrifice his son out of loyalty to God.
And that's a lot, teddy bear.
But was there no reciprocal service? Did Abraham get kickbacks, as you say? He made his covenant with God.
He should worship just one God and his family would prevail in a country overflowing with milk and honey.
He would get money for sacrificing his son's life.
Money for a child.
My question to you isn't what you want to sacrifice.
That's an individual choice.
But for whom? Peter? As my mother always said to me: I think it was a nice speach.
Have one more drink, otherwise it's too boring here.
Cheers! I know who you are.
Your brother was a thief.
A silly, simple thief who killed himself because he was a coward.
Is that what you want to tell me? It seems someone has to tell you, you're not wanted.
You are pathetic.
It's what you are.
Obviously, not only just that, because you appear provoked.
It's dangerous to pretend you know something you don't.
- People can die from that.
- Who is this? I warn you against going out in public, like you just did.
From a land-line.
He's here.
There are so many weird people here.
You must have had a meaning.
- You're way out there.
- Is there a land-line here? - Top floor, in the cafeteria.
What was the relationship between Haugen and Daniel five years ago? The video you sent me? Who was the child? Why did you send me the video? You need to look further back.
25 years to understand the mess.
- And what was that? - I know nothing about this.
You're in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I got him.
The car, at least.
I took photos of the car.
It is leased.
Probably by a company.
But I need go home to find out.
Peter! - Hello! - She's with us.
- Us? - Yeah, you.
Us.
We.
- Peter, help her.
- We've been together for three years.
She investigated your husband.
Wait here, I'll see if anybody knows who owns the car.
- Hello.
- I have someone who wants to talk to you.
One of the most important things you can buy for the money is violence.
Why doesn't he do his work? I expected someone to contact me.
You should only call in an emergency, and this isn't an emergency.
I don't know if you realize how serious this is, what we started.
- I called just now - Yes.
And told me to do my job.
My job.
Do you know what it is? My job isn't to do what you won't do - but what you can't imagine.
Horrible and gruesome things.
Don't worry about my job.
You don't have the stomach for it.
Don't you have children to take care of?
