Tuff Money (2020) s01e04 Episode Script

The Hunt

1
You lied to us.
We thought it was a rehearsal!
Two point seven million euro,
just like Ms. Manager said.
Some guys robbed a bank.
So? Did they steal from you?
-I hope you catch the thieves.
-Let's hide our share.
Somewhere neutral and unfrequented.
Father, there's more.
-What's this?
-Your share.
-The deal's changed.
-I want my money!
Your bank turned down
my medical loan four times.
It was not 12.5 million lei,
but 21.5 million lei.
No way, that's almost double.
Is twice as much money
twice the sentence?
So you got more
than all of us put together.
State Police, you'll be working with me.
He is an eyewitness.
Don't leave town, please.
Are you chasing dreams?
Stop!
Choose Euro Est Bank!
Your champions in chasing dreams!
You want to start a business
on a street you don't know the name of?
I was just walking on the street,
when I heard car brakes screeching.
The bank van was
in the middle of the street,
surrounded by armed people.
How many armed people?
-Five.
-Five armed men?
I see.
How did they leave?
In a green car.
No number plates.
Two in the front, three in the back.
How did you see that
if you had run off?
As I was running, I turned to see
if anyone was chasing after me.
How did three people
fit on the backseat?
You said the back
was full of money bags.
Wait, there were
I don't know.
You expect me to solve your case?
With all due respect,
I just wanted to help Mrs. Manager.
Now I'm an eyewitness!
I should have just laid low!
You will now.
Don't leave town in the next two weeks.
But I have business.
You're the only eyewitness
and some things don't add up.
-Mister
-Lieutenant Colonel.
My daughter must get to Austria
for surgery.
I know about her.
I also know your wife
has a driver's license.
You do not leave town.
Not everyone is against
the bank robbers.
A local lady has told us
there has to be some sort
of balance in our community.
-She is thrilled with the heist and
-I hope they catch them.
hopes the robbers
will build a hospital.
A hospital! As if!
Thieves steal because they can,
not because they need money.
This unprecedented case has
That dimwit!
Now everyone's a star.
-Still, it's a good thing.
-The bank robbery?
Yes, and I'm proud
it happened in our town.
What's on the main street?
Banks, casinos and pharmacies!
-So you applaud those hoodlums' heist?
-Yes!
If I'd had the experience and the tools,
I'd have done it!
-Please don't rob any banks.
-I'll try not to.
-Good morning.
-Good morning, Mom.
Morning, love.
-Sandwich or omelet?
-Sandwich.
-I can drive you.
-I'll manage on my own.
Who else is late?
-The taxi taking me to school.
-Maybe he has a watch like mine.
You're so angry with me
you'd rather be late for school?
Fine.
Hello, neighbor, how are you?
I liked how you told your mom
you don't agree with the bank robbery.
We could go do the watch thing today.
Some other time.
Alright, but I want to drive you.
Will you please tell me when?
-Yes, I will.
-Good.
Inter-regional train 1858 to Bucharest
is arriving at platform 1.
Ask why the moon is so sad
Ask why it won't stay
Take my hand
-Divine punishment!
-More like a software glitch.
-We have to make it right!
-How?
By telling the truth!
Truth doesn't make anything right,
it just exposes the sin.
Ionel, you can't do that!
We'll go to prison!
-Think of Mirela and my family!
-Fine.
Breathe in through the nose
and out through your mouth.
Now close your eyes.
Eyes on the road!
What's wrong?
I put it on for you.
To help you calm down.
Why do I need calming down?
You look a little worried.
About being rich.
I was thinking.
What would Jesus do?
If He robbed a bank?
The priest should know
people who need money!
Not that I would tell him.
Just saying.
Five attackers?
I'm so glad Mr. Adi agreed to help.
Wasn't he hesitant at first?
We see that a lot.
I see.
-So he has a criminal record?
-Violence.
Beat up some ultras,
nothing serious.
He's no mobster,
just a small-time crook.
So what's next?
Surveillance camera check,
verifying recently released offenders,
other such procedures.
Such as?
I can't disclose details.
Of course, I don't want to pry.
When will you interrogate
bank employees?
Excuse me?
Why?
I've been thinking.
I believe this was an inside job.
Someone had access to information.
The date of a big transport,
the number of bags,
the route, changed daily.
It could only be someone in management.
Someone with access
to sensitive information.
-Didn't you tell him about our daughter?
-I didn't want to push it.
They might get nosy.
-Bye, love you.
-Me too.
It will be alright, I promise.
Are you afraid, love?
No, Daddy.
Good girl.
How's this for a super-wedding location?
We think it's a bit much.
Photographer, fireworks, doves
-It's a wedding.
-How will we afford it?
I'm bringing two busloads of high-paying
guests who expect service.
It's all calculated,
it will just about cover your expenses.
Our calculations say
we'll be left with 2,000 euro.
No, that's for Eli Ciotârcă.
-Who's that?
-The singer guests are coming to see.
Well, I don't want her!
I don't want busloads of guests, doves,
a seven-storey cake, or fireworks!
We wanted something small,
and the remaining gift money
was for our start in life.
Not for doves!
Listen here.
I'm your marriage witness,
I have to please my guests.
Dessert, anyone?
-Hello, baby.
-Honey, I need to ask you something.
There's this teacher who can't stand me.
If you love me,
could you have a word with her?
Honey-bunny,
I can't bribe your teachers.
Who said anything about bribing?
That's intimidation,
and it's just as illegal.
I see.
So you don't love me.
Lately, I'm just a garage for you.
Or are you buying me a car
starting with the wheels?
Cori, those wheels are important!
Don't touch them!
Look who's home!
I'm on a mission, I stop by when I can.
-What's that smell?
-Jam rolls.
You cook my favorites
when I'm not home!
I'll pack you some for tomorrow.
Talk to your son and his wife,
they're tearing down the house!
I told you, we measured it together!
Hi, Dad.
No, it's 1.60 meters,
you have the plan here.
You just won't listen.
You're not including
the thickness of the wall.
What's wrong?
She wants a two-storey loft,
the walls might not even take one.
Mayor, hello.
I was just going into a meeting.
Right now?
That'll fix them.
Give me a break!
-What's wrong?
-Nothing.
-When are we going to Bucharest?
-Forget it.
Weren't you keen to meet that maker?
I went today, fine?
I went to Bucharest without you
and skipped school, too!
They didn't like it?
That's the thing, they loved it!
Then what's wrong?
It's not patented,
they'll steal my idea.
So patent it.
Great idea, Dad!
I'll just break my piggybank!
So it's expensive?
How much?
-Really?
-Yes!
-Please tell me.
-Dad.
Time may be relative, but money isn't!
Hello, Mayor.
Before any serious business,
how's the case?
Will you get them?
-We're trying our best.
-I know.
That's what I'm saying,
don't try too hard.
What do you mean?
I mean
I'm Teodor "Doru" Leonte.
Me and my colleague Ionel Baciu
from the Public Works Department
have important information
on a heist at Euro Est Bank
and, first of all, on corruption
What's that?
These two went to my newspaper,
after talking to you
and the bank manager.
They said everything, they were scared.
But that journalist
is someone I can trust.
She gave me this,
I had her promoted to Bucharest.
She's a columnist now, smart girl.
At first I thought it was nonsense,
but when it actually happened,
imagine my shame!
How could you? In my town?
What can I do now?
Now you share the pie.
No thought for politics?
Who's keeping the press in check?
Mayor
The spoils are divided already.
Divided and spent.
-Next time.
-Such a pity.
If I don't get anything,
I'll go to the police.
-Which is me.
-No, man.
The real police.
Is the line long?
The border guard assholes
always take forever.
It's her turn.
Your documents, please.
She's giving him the papers.
He's asking her something.
Probably routine questions.
-Your destination?
-Vienna, for surgery.
My daughter is sick.
Open the boot, please.
He told her to get out.
She's fine, keeping calm.
She's opened the boot.
Nothing to see there, chump.
Nosy bastard.
He's even checking her ventilator.
All good, he's closed the boot.
She's getting back in.
-What's your name?
-Crinuta.
Have a safe trip, Crinuta.
Get well!
Thank you.
He's closed the door.
She got her papers back.
She's through!
-We're next.
-Call me when you're through.
You scared me on the phone.
Is Mirela okay?
Doru, this is killing me.
She's on the night shift
two days before her wedding.
And I'm rolling in money!
Hey
Ionel, listen.
You're not alone, I'm with you!
Will you be our witness?
-Will you?
-What?
The witnesses we picked
are huge spenders.
We wanted you two
to be our witnesses anyway.
-The wedding is in two days!
-So no.
I'll talk to Elena.
But I
I need a bit of help.
I need some money from
that thing.
Well, where's yours?
Mine is in a spot
where I can't get to it.
For now.
How is your sofa "out of the way"?
Here, take it all.
I don't need much.
I don't know what to do with it anyway.
There, done.
I need to go to Bucharest,
please don't do anything rash.
Don't worry.
-Can I rest assured?
-Yes.
-Swear.
-I swear.
Elena! Wait!
-Are you alright?
-I got an idea.
Let's surprise Mirela and Ionel
by being their wedding witnesses.
Come again?
I thought you said something stupid.
-Bye, Mom!
-Bye, Maria.
Our friends need help!
If you two think
two days' notice is enough,
the lights in your brain
are shot!
Elena!
Maria!
Wait.
-I'll drive you to school.
-No need to check on me.
I've no reason
to skip school anymore.
If I wanted to go to Bucharest
I would've skipped class.
Well, you're skipping today.
And coming with me.
Let's get that patent.
-Where did you--
-Let's just go!
How about the four children
with a disabled father?
Well, I don't know
They have plenty of money
from the accident insurance.
The poor woman in that shack
with holes in the roof?
She looks poor, but
Her children abroad
send her money each month.
She has money.
Sadly, she spends it all
on alcohol and cigarettes.
With God's help,
we've finished the church.
except for the steps.
We could use the money.
I know, Father,
but I thought I might help people.
Yes, people should get help first.
If you don't mind me saying,
my hernia surgery didn't go well.
I need another one,
but I can't afford it.
I'll talk to my fiancée,
she knows someone at the hospital.
-You can just give me the money.
-No, I'll arrange it.
I know how to go about these things.
I don't have that much anyway.
On the news I heard you took
quite a lot.
Mr. Nicu, hello!
-Captain Caraion.
-Nicu Pintea.
We're investigating
the bank van robbery.
-I saw on TV.
-You have cameras outside.
-We need to see the recordings.
-Yes.
Where's the monitoring room?
-I'll take you there.
-I'll handle it, Nicu.
-Got it covered?
-Yes.
Everywhere else, their cameras
were broken, or the CDs were scratched.
You're our last hope.
Yes, we record everything.
Done!
I hope it works.
It does.
Now to input the date
And the time
Five past
-There, the Duster!
-What about it?
It has a hole in the windscreen!
If we zoom in,
we might see the money.
There!
And the smiling gentleman.
Do you know him?
-No.
-How could we?
Maybe from around town.
Still, lucky find!
Another rehearsal of the first dance
and you won't have a bride.
I'm sorry.
I can't focus.
-No, it's my fault.
-I'll get some ice.
Mirela, I need to tell you something.
That bank robbery on TV?
It was Doru and me.
But we didn't mean to.
-Meaning?
-Meaning we robbed the bank van.
Some mobsters threatened us,
said they'd hurt you and
We accidentally robbed it.
How cute of you, saying nonsense
to distract me from the pain.
You don't believe me?
Of course not.
-I'll show you.
-Where are we going?
I'll go take a bath.
What territories
do you want it to cover?
Do you have a map?
Are you there?
How is Crinuta?
It's all good.
I love you both.
We love you too.
Glad you've made it. Dr. Yollan.
I will be your chief surgeon.
Hello, Crinnie.
I've heard so much about you.
-We should have gone for the U.S. too.
-Next time. "In a bit".
-Need help?
-No, thanks.
Thank you.
Doru!
Where's my share?
I'll turn myself in!
-Shush!
-Don't you shush me!
-You'll get it back
-Don't give me that, where is it?
Doru, what's wrong with you?
-Go the hell home.
-Now you're hitting me?
Not the car, it's a rental!
Doru, give back my share!
Where's my share?
-Give me back my share!
-I don't have it!
The one just now was my daughter.
I'd do anything for her.
Until this quietens down, you get zilch.
I won't let you destroy us.
I'll save us both.
And yes,
we'll be your marriage witnesses.
Go home.
Isn't it a bit late to have a scuffle?
Better now?
We'll be Ionel's witnesses!

Good morning.
Morning!
How's Daddy's inventor?
What got into you?
I feel like finally
life is getting on the right track.
I just do.
-And Mom?
-Off to buy a dress for the wedding.
She kept begging me all night
to stand as Ionel's wedding witnesses.
-Really?
-Yes.
What's happening out there?
Gather all you can
before the police get here!
Hello? Police?
-Maria, don't!
-My neighbors probably called too.
How soon can you get here?
On Cerbului Street.
It's literally raining money!
Hang up!
It's not like we're robbing you, Maria.
-Problem, neighbor?
-No.
-What do you mean, you don't know?
-Little busybody!
-It's dirty money, this is illegal.
-Stay out of it!
You've nothing to do?
Hang the hell up!
-Don't you swear at my daughter!
-I didn't!
Sir.
This came in from the Town Hall.
[COPY]
We told the Captain everything.
Instead of arresting them,
he offered to help for a share.
-Unbelievable!
-It's true.
He said he'd make a deal
with the mobster.
Hello, Mayor.
Yes, I've listened to it.
Understood, I'll take care of it.
Yes, there was no need to--
Pass me the phone.
Not that one!
-Hello.
-Mrs. Evelina.
I know it's early,
but we have a problem.
We need to meet.
Call Mr. Adi.
-Wait, what's happened?
-There's a new player in the game.
I'll explain face to face.
Is this a bad time?
No.
Something wrong?
A little death.
His cat died.
Funny.
There was nothing
about a cat in your file.
Little condolences, then.
But perhaps you could
make time for an alarm.
-What alarm?
-Some money was found. I'll be waiting.
-That money?
-Yes.
What money?
There's some left by the fence!
Secure the perimeter.
Block that alley.
Was he very fond of the cat?
My colleague?
Of course, it was his only cat.
-Any finds?
-This.
-Have you checked the serials?
-Not yet.
-Do we block the back too?
-Yes.
-Block the back!
-And gather the notes.
There's more under the cars
and the hedge.
Secure the ladder.
Careful with the ladder!
Find a dead cat and bury it
behind your apartment building.
-Where do I find a dead cat?
-None of my business.
Borrow one from an old lady.
Do I need to find you
a few in the bushes?
The Bucharest guy has his eye on us.
He's trying to corner us.
You, particularly.
Why me?
Why not?
Can't you see he suspects us?
Officer down!
Get a stretcher!
Who's a beauty?
Who's majestic?
What do you have here?
Can I have it?
Hey!
Hooray!
Is that all?
Bucharest confirmed the serials.
It's the stolen money.
All of it?
