Charlie Jade (2005) s01e04 Episode Script

3 As we gather here today our thoughts go out to the brave men and women who lost their lives in the service of mankind.
Not just scientists or employees of the Vex-Cor family.
But sons brothers fathers mothers.
Your family members.
And mine.
Fell by a barbaric act of terror.
Savagely cut down.
But today is not the day to speak of the horrors of this atrocity.
Nor the swift justice that those responsible will face for this monstrous crime.
Today is the day to remember the individuals who died here.
To remember what kind of people they were.
For all too brief a time these people made our world a better place.
To you we bow our heads in silence.
And cue to tributes.
And, we are back in 2 1 Today is a time for tears, yes.
But also a time to give thanks thanks for the joy and privilege of the time we shared with these exceptional men and women.
Thanks for their dedication.
Their special skills and their talents.
We shall move on from this dark moment following the brilliant path that they have blazed for us.
Their deaths shall not be in vain.
Let's get this bastard in the ground.
There she is Krogg's girl.
Let me see.
That's 01 Boxer to the left.
What's he doing here? That's a good question.
Any idea who he's talking to? I can't see his face.
We got company.
What the hell? Looks like you're not the only one who got an anonymous tip.
Taking away, we got to do something.
You see that? That's Vex-Cor.
What the hell are you gonna do? Good morning Cape Town.
This is Annika Larsen on Cape Town Talk 567 it's 8:28.
Every major artery heading in and out of the city is slowed to a crawl.
As authorities step up their search for the terrorist responsible for the Vex-Cor bombing, a new emergency legislation has been tabled in Pretoria.
What does all this mean? It's now clear how fragile our free and liberal society really is.
It may never be the same.
We're living on a new stage.
A stage of fear.
Was Elliot Krogg the mastermind of this tragedy? We don't know.
He was one of our top scientists.
Obviously, his suicide has complicated the investigation.
His long-time female associate has been turned over to the authorities.
And she is cooperating fully with them in their effort to determine the extent of the apparent terrorist network.
What can you tell us about the one that planted the bomb? I mean, how is she connected to Krogg? We don't know.
But I can tell you that she is not, and never has been, an employee of Vex-Cor.
No, I don't think Krogg's girlfriend is involved.
It's 01 Boxer.
He's using her.
He wants something from her.
Like what? I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know why he's involved in this - Why wouldn't he be? - It's his father's company.
- Because he's a sick twist.
That's why Couldn't get a job in Vex-Cor's mail room before now.
I don't know what he's doing, I don't know why he's here.
You don't know much, do you? This is ridiculous.
- Elliot Krogg was no terrorist.
- Look at the facts, Sonia.
He was ordered to go back to head office.
He didn't go.
And he hanged himself so he wouldn't face the police.
- Exactly.
- Exactly what, Len? Krogg didn't kill himself.
- Someone helped him.
- Crap, I don't need to hear this.
- Seems someone got you running scared.
- That's enough, Peterson.
I'm telling you, he's trying to take over the company.
God damn.
The special ops took Karen away.
They take her where? A safe house, I guess.
What, like Vex-Cor tower? Tactical security? What? Come on! No, just a normal house.
The 5 million rand price on this woman's head has the police (?) to respond to sightings throughout the city.
- What? - It's you.
It's you.
It's you! It's you! - How's up, my mate? - Sold out.
Yo, cool bro.
Come on, get out of here.
- Drive.
- Wait! Don't say anything, just drive.
Easy.
Easy with the knife.
You work with this system? It's a joke.
Alright, how did you get in here? It's a nice toy.
Doesn't help me find your safe house though.
Maybe this will save you a little time.
I have my own connections.
Again, Karen.
You mentioned late-night phone calls.
Elliot.
Do you remember who the calls were from? Remember all the things we talked about, Karen? Names Dates I won't forget.
Mr.
Wallace, Peterson Mrs.
Vigour Mr.
Wallace - Blackman - She's stoned out of her mind go get Conklin.
Karen.
Karen! Can you hear me? Listen to me! Listen to me What did you give her? Mild stimulant to help her concentrate.
Karen! Wake up wake up! Check.
You gotta get out of here.
Orange, orange, we're on the move.
Freeze! Drop your weapon! Yeah that's not going to happen.
You wanna take a bullet for a paycheck? I'm more than happy to give you one.
Another time, another place Come on, baby.
You'll feel much better.
Just try one.
Come on.
Take it easy.
Who are you? You don't know? I know you pulled a knife on me.
I just need help.
I coulda I could have called the cops a long time ago You're showing no gratitude.
What do you want? I don't care what you did! Let's party! Party? What's in those pills? Just Hospital I steal them Give them to my friends Keep them 5 million rand price on this woman's head I don't care.
You can't go around attacking federal agents like that.
Don't they have any laws where you come from? You gotta be careful.
Especially now, they're talking about - suspending civil rights - You know what this is? Kelazaphine.
Never heard of it.
Where I come from, Vex-Cor developed it as an interrogation tool about 10-15 years ago.
It's a synthetic opium-based derivative.
Neural inhibitor.
Completely opens the mind to the power of suggestion.
- What did you call this? - Kelazaphine.
K-E-L-A-Z-A-P-H-I-N-E You're not going to find it in there.
Boxer used it on her.
Who? He had his hands all over me.
I didn't even try to stop him.
Girl named Katie Grayle.
He dosed her.
And then he raped her.
And then he murdered her.
It's why I'm here.
It's why I was chasing him.
? It's not on the market here.
You mind if I have this analyzed? Charlie? Are you alright? He's using it on Karen.
When he gets what he wants, he's going to kill her.
What are you gonna do? I'm gonna take this gun and I'm gonna stick it in his mouth and I'm gonna blow his brains out.
How is that going to help her? How is that going to help you get home? Look at you.
You're a mess.
When was the last time you had a decent night of sleep? I can't sleep.
I can't sleep I can't sleep I can't breathe in this place.
I gotta get some air.
Charlie.
Hey! Jobbo? Hey! Jobbo! Sir, can I see your ID, please? - My what? - Your identification.

Hands against the pillar.

How many? Look, I did what you asked.
Isn't that enough? What color are your toenails, Dr.
Conklin? I have a reputation.

Good evening Cape Town, this is Annika Larsen on Cape Town Talk 567 it's 7:30.
And today's lead story: the business world was shocked overnight when it learned that the entire board of directors of Vex-Cor, massive multinational with head-offices here in Cape Town was served with warrants and detained by south-africans police authorities.
Details are sketchy this morning but market trading in Vex-Cor has been suspended.
It's done, we've got them all.
They've all been busted.
God bless the candyland.
I should probably get you back in.
You really think he had nothing to do with this? He's dead.
His girlfriend name the entire board of directors.
Boxer gets everything he wants.
Probably been dreaming of this his whole life.
I always knew I was right.
Never thought I'd have the proof though.
