The Golden Hour (2022) s01e03 Episode Script

1
I don't know if we're right,
but we have some doubts.
You don't trust him?
Mardik is a good guy,
an excellent detective.
-What's going on?
-It's better if you go home.
Just to be sure.
-Is something going on?
-What?
I'd rather hear from you than from them.
A truck drove into a market.
Multiple casualties.
Start Golden Hour, 9:33 a.m.
-We need more people, guys.
-Hey!
-Suddenly Faysal is in Amsterdam.
-And you know him too?
It's right below. A lot of casualties.
What happened?
Take cover!
Suppose it's about you,
that they wanted to lure you here.
I'm going, you stay here.
There's a camera.
OC, we're safe.
Oh, shit.
I'm a detective. A colleague.
Don't.
Today there was a terrible attack
on a market in Amsterdam.
The police and prosecution
are investigating what exactly happened
and who the perpetrators are,
who are likely still at large.
Fuck…
Citizens are urged to be alert
for a possible follow-up attack.
-Hey.
-Mich, I'm on my way home.
-Are you okay?
-Listen.
-Get my bag ready.
-Why? I just saw…
-I'll explain later.
-Is this about that attack?
Why, Mardik?
-It's…
-What?
I'll be right there.
…to gain better insight through witness
statements into who is behind this attack.
In case you should recognize anyone,
you are urged
to contact the police immediately.
Citizens are urged to be alert
for a possible follow-up attack.
The entire population is asked to report
suspicious persons or situations.
The police are investigating
what exactly happened
and hope to gain better insight
through witness statements
into who is behind this attack.
At this moment it's still unclear
who's responsible for this violence.
THE GOLDEN HOUR
I want everybody here
transported to a safe place.
Check them there,
take photos, take statements.
Names, descriptions…
Question them immediately.
Understood? Go.
-Linda.
-Riad, any possible suspects?
-No, nothing.
-Tell me everything you learn.
I'll keep you posted.
The city has gone crazy.
There was an explosion in a flat West.
Explosion?
A flat in West?
Maybe a gas leak.
The fire brigade is investigating.
I'll send someone. I'll call you later.
-Anything?
-Nothing.
Anything. Description, getaway vehicle.
We can't do a thing. Nothing to go on.
They're looking for camera footage.
Everybody saw the truck,
but no one saw the driver
or where they went.
More teams are on the way.
The other big cities are on the alert.
I know, a second blow.
We're doing our best.
If it comes,
it'll be within the golden hour.
Let me be the first you call
if you know anything.
-Whose blood is that?
-Not mine.
Were you at that market?
This was something else.
But it's related.
-Is that why I had to go home?
-What?
You told me to go home, before the attack.
-Did you know it was coming?
-No, I didn't.
-Is that why I had to go home?
-Of course not. Why do you say that?
It was for if that intelligence woman
came back. Then you could stop her.
-Shannon is dead.
-What?
-There was an explosion and…
-Jesus.
I need to figure this out.
I want you to take Pip
and go to your parents.
-You can't stay here, okay?
-Okay.
You know the numbers? Sequence?
Everything. Will it be necessary?
It'll be fine.
-Casualties?
-Headcount stands at 29.
-And the buses?
-Coming.
-When?
-Be here in about ten minutes.
Excuse me. This was on the ground.
I don't know…
-Where?
-Near the truck.
There was a girl under it.
Is she alive?
No.
If she filmed anything,
I want to know the exact origins.
Take care, man.
-Has anyone seen Mardik and Shannon?
-No.
-Where are they? We need them.
-No idea.
Get Hans to analyse this.
Tell him he has ten minutes.
Check the contents. You have nine minutes.
Sit down over there.
Okay, I'm taking your hat off
for a second so I can see.
Here you go.
There she is. Jolanda.
Foot off the gas, woman.
-What kind of things for animals?
-Dog baskets.
Scratching posts for cats.
Sir?
Will you come with me?
Fardin? Malik Fardin?
It's Mardik here.
Hi. Is your granddad home?
-You're that detective, right?
-Yes.
-He's not here.
-Do you know where he is?
-Maybe still at the sports club?
-No, I looked there.
Then I don't know.
And your grandmother? Can I talk to her?
Today there was a terrible attack
on a market in Amsterdam.
-I'm sorry to come unannounced…
-Sit down.
I'm in a hurry. Where is Malik Fardin?
-What's the matter?
-Where's your husband?
I don't know.
He left last night.
We haven't seen him since.
I saw him at the sports club
late last night.
Did he come home after that?
-Did he say anything when he left?
-Sorry?
Did Fardin say anything?
-What's wrong with Granddad?
-Husna…
I'm hoping he can help me.
Husna. Stay out of it.
I really don't know where he is.
If you hear from him…
This is my number.
-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.
He's police, Grandma.
You can't trust him.
The attack left several people dead
and numerous wounded.
There's a man hunt going on
and the security level has been scaled up
to level 5 nationwide.
-He was here.
-Has he left?
-Yes, he's gone.
-Where did he go next?
I don't know. But he's looking for you.
Thanks, honey.
Look after Grandma, would you?
Okay, I will.
ERROR: NETWORK OVERLOAD
-Riad.
-Riad, it's Mardik.
Where are you, man?
Why block your number?
Why aren't you here?
-I'm figuring something out.
-What?
It's fucking ground zero here.
And those guys are still out there.
I know one of them.
-But I need your help.
-How do you know one?
We have to centralize,
you can't go off by yourself…
-Faysal. That's his name.
-Faysal who? There's hundreds.
Taher. Faysal Taher.
-You don't know him.
-Enough.
I want you and Shannon here right now.
We need you.
Shannon…
-Shannon is dead, Riad.
-What?
-That explosion in West.
-What are you talking about?
Shannon was the victim.
I need your help.
It was intentional, Riad.
They had planted a live bomb there.
Everything was planned.
Get over here.
Mardik.
No, I can't. Not now.
Okay, where are you?
I'll come to you.
Sloterplas parking, east side.
-At the roundabout.
-Give me 15 minutes.
ZOETERMEER -
NATIONAL SECURITY SERVICE
Thanks, Tim. Keep us posted.
We now also have the first images
in which the possible perpetrators
can be seen just after the attack.
These images were made…
An explosion in a high-rise killed
a female detective. Shannon van Aalst.
-Should I know her?
-She was there with Mardik.
What about him?
He wasn't in the building
and waited outside.
He's vanished.
Threatened two police officers,
fired in the air.
Okay.
And he called Riad.
-His boss.
-I know who Riad is.
Fuck…
Why did he call?
He knows one of the terrorists, he says.
So he's present at an explosion
that kills a colleague.
He shoots at cops, runs,
then calls with intel on the terrorists.
How does that sound to you, Joelle?
Well done, you were the first
to suspect him. Let's go.
Janne, come. Now.
Mardik says Shannon is dead.
Please sit here, sir.
Hey.
Hey, sweetie.
Hi.
-Look what I got.
-Wow… Go inside.
-Hi.
-Hi.
What's going on?
Why did we have to pick her up?
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say.
A colleague of Mardik was killed.
Awful.
And Mardik?
Yeah, he's alright. It's intense.
-Let's get you inside.
-Yeah.
-Yeah?
-Clear the scene asap.
There was an explosion in West.
-The buses are on their way.
-Make them go faster.
Do you want them to walk to safety maybe?
We have no idea where these guys are.
An officer was killed in the explosion.
My detective is involved.
He fired shots and is on the run.
Is he a suspect?
We're investigating that.
I need one of your teams.
We have an image of the truck.
Two perps, dark clothes, balaclavas.
Yo.
Put it through to the national unit
and check all the CCTV footage
for these descriptions.
-You okay?
-Yeah, I'm alright.
Sure?
Tell me. What will you do
with Faysal's 100,000?
I don't know yet.
-I've thought about it.
-Yeah?
I'm taking a vacation.
Nice blue sea.
Plenty of women.
Get away from the 93 hood.
I was thinking maybe getting
an education somewhere.
Then I can get out of there too.
An education?
Listen, brother. After what we do here,
you'll never get away from the 93.
You understand?
-Right.
-We're leaving already?
Yes. Let's go.
Take the bag.
Maybe he's stuck in traffic.
Fuck.
He's not coming.
You ride with them.
I'll go to the explosion site.
Someone has to identify Shannon.
You can pass through here.
He got out of his car
and sat next to her on the ground.
Why wasn't he in there with her?
Because he knew what would happen.
-What the hell are you doing?
-No time for sentimentality.
She was blown out of the flat
and landed here.
It was a booby-trap and he knew it.
You okay?
Yes, I think so.
Was that the second one?
No. That was a gas cylinder.
The second one is yet to come.
Let me guess. He didn't show.
What do we do with him?
Thank God, at last.
I want everyone home safe.
-No second explosion, at least.
-Not yet.
Mardik is a suspect. Expand the manhunt.
OK, correction on the manhunt.
Suspect added.
AMSTERDAM REGIONAL UNI
National Security Service. Mardik's desk?
Okay. Whose flat is it?
Why were they there?
Why is she dead while he isn't?
Where is he now? And what's next?
The photo of Mardik on the sports field
was your trigger, right?
Fardin Ameri.
From the same village as Mardik.
-A lot of young boys go to him.
-He recruits them?
-Is Fardin a subject?
-Could be.
-Well?
-IT will bypass his password.
-We'll get into his PC.
-His gun is gone.
-Is his account blocked?
-He's locked out.
Find out whose flat it is
and who lived there.
Tap Mardik's phone and find his car.
-Can we track it?
-No, but his number plate is on ANPR.
That's no good in Amsterdam.
Think of something else.
Willem. I thought you maybe…
I'm still here. Completely here, honey.
Where's Selena? Have you seen her?
What?
What?
What's going on?
Can you talk to this man?
Come.
-We're running an investigation.
-Here? About Mardik?
-Is he involved?
-There's been an explosion.
Shannon van Aalst got killed.
My condolences.
-Mardik was there, but he vanished.
-Shannon?
He drove off after threatening
two officers and firing his gun.
Jesus, Shannon…
If you know anything about Mardik,
you must tell us now.
No, I never…
I never noticed anything weird about him.
A good colleague.
His background doesn't help him much,
of course.
-What do you mean?
-His country, the misery he's seen.
-Did you ever talk about it?
-He didn't want to.
Why not?
Maybe he did.
Maybe I never asked the right questions.
Let's go.
-I need your help.
-They're all looking for you.
So I've noticed.
-Shannon's death is not my fault.
-Why did you leave her there?
-Why didn't you join us?
-I'm chasing the perps.
Jesus, Mardik. You think you're
the only one who can get them?
Sure…
Riad and that Joelle from intel
are seeing each other.
He does exactly what she says.
I don't know what he told you…
He didn't have to say anything.
You left Shannon there.
There was nothing I could do for her.
I just want to get the guys
who killed her.
Okay, let's talk.
But not here.
Follow me.
Try to relax.
What's taking so long?
See? We're going.
He wouldn't start the engine otherwise.
They say he shot at some colleagues.
-Did you know that?
-I heard.
His PC was searched,
the hard disk is gone.
All his drawers were searched.
Where are you going?
He just wants to talk?
That is what he says.
Do you believe it?
-That he Shannon…
-I don't know. No idea.
-Shall I call Riad?
-No, don't.
-Do you trust him?
-He won't hurt me.
-That's what Shannon thought.
-This is Mardik. We know him.
Don't call Riad.
-Okay.
-Okay.
I got intel on a guy I knew way back,
in Afghanistan.
That attack.
It was too much of a coincidence.
And Shannon…
Shannon went into that flat alone.
"I don't stand out", she said.
"I don't stand out and you do."
And…
She insisted on going in alone.
Then the flat exploded.
And I saw her…
I saw her body…
There was nothing I could do.
I had to choose: stay with her
or start chasing the terrorists.
I chose the latter.
You could have gone to the station
to share everything you knew.
Who would believe me?
I would.
You know that.
I have to be able to verify things.
Tap phones.
Check locations, get Interpol data.
What do you need?
I can't access anything. It's all blocked.
I know. Riad did that.
He started a manhunt for you.
baconpancake91.
-What?
-baconpancake91. That's my password.
baconpancake91.
-A second attack is coming, I'm sure.
-Where?
I wish I knew.
Only Faysal knows. He's the one.
He'll pull the pin
where casualties will be highest.
Who's Faysal?
Phone?
-Did you call Hans?
-To tell him to back off.
-Are they coming?
-No. Mardik.
You want me to trust you,
but you don't trust me?!
Give me back my phone!
Seriously?!
Fuck.
Folks, in a few minutes
we'll be escorted to a safe place.
We have people ready to help you there.
-Everyone is nervous.
-What?
Everyone is nervous.
Makes sense.
-What's wrong?
-Just a sec.
-Did he say anything?
-He said he'd be right back.
Okay.
He forgot his bag.
Willem.
Hey! You forgot your bag.
Go back. Stay still. Don't move.
-He left the bus without his bag.
-Stay still! Don't move!
-Go back!
-He left the bus and… Here.
Drop that phone! Put it down!
-Drop that phone.
-Drop it!
-Drop that phone!
-Drop it!
Suspicious backpack!
Shot down target.
Hey, you!
Listen or I'll shoot you.
Put the bag down very gently
and put your hands up.
Take three steps back.
Come here! Walk!
He's lucky to be a white guy.
What do you think? Will they need me?
Bring the dog in.
Can we… finally move that bus?
Yeah.
Rob!
Send the dog in the bus,
then get those people out of here.
Let the dog check the bus.
FRENCH NATIONAL POLICE
-Hello.
-Hello.
This is Mardik Sardagh
of the Amsterdam police.
I'm calling about the TAHEF84 file.
-I'm going to need the complete file.
-I can give you that tomorrow.
It's urgent.
-There's been a terrorist attack.
-Let me check the database.
-You knew that already?
-Yes, I've heard about it.
-Yes. The culprit can't have gone far.
-I will send you the data.
-It's urgent.
-Understood. No problem.
Dad, Dad, stop! Don't forget Mardik!
He can't stay here, he's my friend!
Let us go!
-Let me and my family go!
-Let us go!
Let us go!
Quiet!
Go away!
Up there!
Reza.
SAVE
I wish we had our own car.
It's just a car. No big deal.
Ours is part of the crime scene.
I'm attached to those things.
Are you ready for the debriefing?
The 1000 questions?
The comradely support?
Can't we just skip that part?
Are you okay?
Let's call it a day. A new one tomorrow.
I'm hungry.
Maybe the cafeteria
has a sticky stuffed biscuit for you.
Weren't we on our way to get a sandwich?
When you come out,
Yassin will be waiting for you.
Drive off immediately.
-He'll take care of the payment too.
-Okay.
Good luck. Thank you.
It's a colleague.
What's going on?
