Hidden Assets (2021) s01e05 Episode Script

Episode 5

We found
the body of a woman,
who had been murdered
in the bathroom.
A neighbor disturbed a number
of men inside the apartment.
Hey!
I need you to get me
out of here.
-Of the house?
-The country.
I need to see someone
who can help us.
I think I might have, uh,
put you in danger.
What sort of danger?
I'm gonna
tell the police.
I'm dead otherwise.
A guy out walking his dog
found a body.
It's him.
Fionn Brannigan tried to put
three properties
beyond our reach.
But there was something in Surat
too that we didn't get.
Surat.
That's where I'd be looking.
What have you got, Norah?
If we get to
this Senne van Eyck's files,
find a company in Surat he might
have done business with,
we might get to Fionn.
We have managed
to extract a sample of DNA.
-The bomber?
-Yes. He's Colombian.
Four
inmates in La Modelo prison.
These poor bastards
are easy pickings for someone.
Luca Rivera.
He's on his way.
Or he's already here.
This prison, La Modelo, where
the men are being sourced
it's an absolute hell hole.
Look.
I can't believe
places like this still exist.
You don't even get a cell.
You just
find somewhere in the filth
and lie down.
They are being exploited
by the people we really want.
You may be right.
And it seems getting them out
of there might not be that hard.
Who's that one for?
Whoever needs it most.
That'd be me.
Over a hundred
dismembered bodies
were found in the drains
a few years back.
Inmates disposing
of other inmates.
None of them even logged
as missing.
I guess they were doing
the state a favor.
And the guards prosecuted
all the time
for taking bribes
to get prisoners out.
It's the perfect hunting ground.
So we might know how
they're getting out of there,
but not how
they're getting in here.
-Mm-hmm.
-Not a hit anywhere.
Nothing on Facial Recognition.
Siobhan Brannigan's downstairs.
And she's here to ID
her husband.
She could know
what he wanted to tell us.
She can't protect him any more.
She'll be in no fit state
to be interviewed.
And you're in a fit state
to wait?
You sure you don't want
James to do this?
Morning.
If you could follow me, please.
I'm very sorry for your loss,
Mrs. Brannigan.
Ms. Melnick.
Can I have this?
These will all be returned
to you in due course.
Can, can
Can I see him?
This is sufficient
for identification purposes.
He has not been prepared
for viewing.
I'm sorry, Mrs. Brannigan.
Can you give him this?
Of course.
Mrs. Melnick.
I'm so sorry, Siobhan.
Can we have a word, please?
Now is hardly the time.
Maybe tomorrow. Call.
Yeah, well, tomorrow might be
too late to prevent more deaths.
Can we have a minute
to grapple with this one?
Unless you want
to make this formal?
I don't -- I --
I don't want to go yet.
-I want to go back in.
-I'll go with you.
No. Please.
Can I get you anything?
You must have a lot of questions
too you want answered?
Do you want to talk to me
without her?
Why did he go to her, Siobhan?
All that heat on him,
why risk a journey like that?
He must have had
a very good reason.
You were hoping that
I could tell you?
We think he was going to
hand himself in.
Do you know what he was
gonna tell us?
No.
It could help
catch the bombers.
I don't know.
Clear his name.
You don't want him associated
with that massacre forever,
Siobhan?
Or anything else.
It's Mrs. Brannigan.
We're not friends.
We need to take a closer
look at her.
Siobhan?
Her bank account has even
less in it than mine.
Fionn has her
well beyond reproach.
No, Bibi Melnick.
She has been cooperative.
And ended up getting leaked
to the press --
probably by us.
Now she lost her brother as well
as her employee, Sana.
I don't think you're gonna
get a warrant for her
based on a hunch.
You sound like Norah.
Yeah, well, I like Norah.
I really don't understand
why CAB are here.
A terrorist case, a murder case,
and they're still looking
to see what they can get.
What did she want?
Would you eat? A juice, even?
What did he want to say to you,
Bibi?
It must have been important.
He didn't tell me.
He -- He said he was going
to tell the police instead.
And I'd be safer that way.
What do you think it was?
It sounded like
he wanted to warn me
about something.
But I have no idea what.
You'd tell me, Bibi?
I wish I did know.
Aren't you worried?
If he was warning you.
I don't even know
what he was talking about.
Are you? Worried?
You know you can stay with us
as long as you want.
Or bring the kids over.
Get you security if it makes
you feel better.
-Anything you need.
-You shouldn't have left him.
On his own.
I know.
I really thought I was
doing the right thing.
I shouldn't have said that.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Here. You sit in the car.
I'll take this.
I said no.
I need time.
Don't call me again.
So this Senne van Eyck
was involved with Brannigan's
affairs in Surat.
You're sure of this, Norah?
I'm sure.
Because we look
very, very stupid,
on a very big scale,
if you've got this wrong.
I'm sure.
We find a company in Surat
that van Eyck has done work for,
and that company
will lead us right to,
or one step closer to,
Fionn Brannigan's money trail.
And at some point
somewhere along this trail,
he either journeyed with,
or crossed paths with,
the terrorists
operating in Belgium.
Then I will get the Belgian CTIF
to expedite a search warrant.
Detective!
I'm so not sure, lads.
Gately should be more worried
about finding a criminal
than losing face.
And we know Brannigan
was totally dodgy.
What sort of man hides files
on his kid's computer?
What have you got?
The one thing you don't
want to find.
Evidence of the absence
of evidence.
What?
This laptop recently utilized
an SB 1 terabyte passport --
uh, an external hard drive.
I can see that all the files
were transferred over
and then wiped from
the internal hard drive.
Not something you'd expect
an 8-year-old girl to be doing.
He went to some lengths too,
overwriting the temporary files,
which makes everything that
was here totally unrecoverable.
But look at the time stamp.
He did this right after
we paid him our first visit.
So it's something he needed
to be sure we didn't see.
But something he couldn't
destroy either.
The only copy?
But we've no idea what?
No.
Hey!
Hello?
-Norah.
-Yeah?
I got your warrant.
I'm heading to van Eyck's office
to conduct your search.
Get ready to receive his files.
Great. Thanks, Emer.
Good work.
Lads.
We're good to go.
I'm ready.
-Thanks.
-Vince.
I told you, clear out.
You'll get
your official papers later.
Mila, uh, can you take over,
please?
Sorry.
Facial recognition has
92% match on Rivera.
He's entering the Regency Hotel,
on Eiermarkt.
Oh, God, he's here.
Okay, let's go.
I'm going after my own guy,
thanks.
What?
You want to push paper now?
Stop a bomber and another
will take his place.
But find the money and you
topple the whole regime.
-Oh, shit.
-Here comes Vinicius.
He passes back to Karim Benzema.
Reina is back in action again.
Been a busy goalkeeper
so far today.
Shot for Vinicius!
And Reina goes down
to make a good save.
Vinicius is in possession.
Found Benzema.
Kuba looking for Matthew Hopey.
Wonderful play!
And now Rodigro with a chance.
Mallorca looking for a response.
And they found one.
A powerful cross from
Miguel Mallorca survives.
Shooter 1 in position.
Real Madrid lead.
Benzema again. He is on fire.
One adult male visible.
Mm-hmm.
Go back inside.
Mr. Serrano? Housekeeping.
Housekeeping, sir.
I need to check
your heating, sir.
-Police! Get down.
-Aaaahh!
-All clear!
-All clear?
No explosives present.
Stand down!
Misidentification.
Fuck!
It is done.
4 kilos of destruction.
Is going to cause carnage.
Serrano's ID is clean.
Sean. We've seized
Senne van Eyck's files.
The hard copies will be
in Shannon this evening.
And the electronic files
will be transferred
as soon as they reach CTU.
And Sean?
Yeah?
He actually cried.
Who cried? Van Eyck?
I think you're about to hit
the motherlode.
See you.
Where are they?
Mr. Melnick,
I told you on the phone,
they don't wish to be disturbed.
Yeah, I'm sure.
How are you?
Take this, please.
That was really something
you had to go through
this morning, hah?
And how's Siobhan?
She's resting.
Which is why we're trying
to be quiet.
Ah. Good. Good.
I'm gonna take a bath.
Uh, indulge me for a bit,
please.
I really don't have it in me
right now, Richard.
-I'm sorry.
-Alright. Alright.
Look. I just want to know
that you're okay.
No.
Well, then, maybe you can
take a little time
off work after this, huh?
Yeah. I need a few days.
Everybody happy?
Oh, I'm sorry that
I interrupted you two.
Chesa!
My father needs his coat.
When are you coming back?
Soon.
When's Daddy coming back?
What will I bring you?
Chocolate.
iPhone. "Red Dead."
Okay,
Mummy has to go now.
Bye, I love you.
Hi.
Just wanted to check in on you.
Look, Siobhan, I want you
to know you
and the kids are gonna have
nothing to worry about.
No matter how much damage
CAB do
I know my dad would want that
for his grandkids.
And for Fionn.
I'm gonna propose a yearly
income of 350,000, okay?
And I'll always be here
for you.
Thanks.
Eat.
At least one of us
gets something.
I hear you cleaned up?
Mm.
Not bad for a paper pusher, huh?
You know
Norah's the one now doing
all the real damage.
Those files won't hide a thing.
A fucking disaster.
I got angry at Mila.
I didn't even wait to see
if that guy's ID checked out.
You know
I've dealt with a lot
of homicides over the years.
And you can't help
but take that home.
I can't imagine what it's like
dealing with multiple deaths.
Oh, God.
Oh, shit.
Oh.
-Aww.
-Here.
Yeah, thanks.
Oh, my God! You're smoking.
Yeah, well,
you caught me.
You know
if this was Ireland,
I'd be denouncing you
for inappropriate behavior
in the workplace.
Yeah.
Have your office by the weekend.
-I believe you would.
-Mm-hmm.
Are you sure you want
another one of these?
You seeing anything?
Ah!
I'm seeing double at this point.
Is that everything Emer sent us?
Yup.
There just isn't a Surat link.
What's Gately going to say?
There isn't a single connection
between any company
van Eyck ever did work for
and Surat.
What was I even thinking?
You need sleep, Norah.
We look at this again tomorrow
with fresh eyes.
-Okay?
-No.
We look at it
till we find something.
Anything.
Oh.
-Hello?
-We've had a look,
and there's nothing there.
There's nothing on the files
that connects to Surat?
No. Nothing. Look.
I'll call you back.
Okay. Thanks.
Norah needs my help.
You can use my computer.
Feel free.
Uh, I'm off.
See you tomorrow.
Got them?
In front of me now.
First file up is 2009,
the year Fionn Brannigan
started traveling to Surat.
Then we concentrated our search
there and two years either side.
Nothing.
-And not a thing
-Thank you.
right up to
the present day.
What are you doing here?
I thought you'd clocked out
already?
Josh said you needed
all hands on deck.
'Course I'm here.
Boss.
I don't think van Eyck is gonna
give us Fionn Brannigan.
I made a bad call, Emer.
It's too early to call that,
Norah.
Let's just go over it all again.
Come on, Arthur.
Time for bed.
What's that, Mummy?
Nobody.
Bed.
Maybe there's a different
connection, Norah?
Between what and what, though?
There's dozens of companies
and hundreds of policies here.
If we don't have Surat
to anchor our search, then what?
We just randomly look at data?
Companies?
Culain sounds Irish?
That's a bit too random, Josh.
Hang on.
What?
Shit.
What?
He didn't.
There's no way you can be
that stupid.
But they're always
that stupid eventually.
-What have you got, Sean?
-I'm sending it over.
I sat looking at it
for long enough.
Look.
It's the entrance
to Fionn Brannigan's house.
And look
what he's called it.
I don't get it.
It's Irish.
House of Culain.
He named the company
after his house.
Stupidity and a big ego --
that's what always
gets these guys caught.
Let's take a look
at Culain, then.
Emer, I'm sending you
the Culain file, now.
See it?
Hm.
Culain's paying premiums
in Surat.
And I'll tell you
something else.
Fionn Brannigan isn't
the brains behind that.
He was getting help from someone
a lot smarter than him.
Bibi?
Bibi!
Wait.
Are you gonna work?
Yeah, I have to.
Koshinen sprang a fuel leak.
A fuel leak?
Destroyed his reserves stock.
Come on, I'm sure they can
manage without you for one day,
today of all days.
If it wasn't Koshinen.
He's my biggest client.
Mummy, Mummy,
Auntie Siobhan is leaving.
Stay with your dad.
Why?
Come on, let's go play.
Siobhan. What's going on?
I need to be with my children.
Okay.
If you wait a few hours,
we'll get you a flight.
I've got a flight.
I'd like to take my money now.
We don't have that
kind of money here.
Then we can stop by the bank.
-I have to go to work.
-Then we'll stop on the way.
Siobhan. What's going on?
And I want more than
what you offered me.
The money is tied up
in the system.
Then find it.
I want out.
And I want Fionn's full share.
I know how much it is,
and it's nowhere close
to what you offered me
last night.
Keep your fucking voice down.
James doesn't know
you're laundering?
I protect him from that.
Fionn obviously protected you
from plenty.
Thanks, Mila.
We've got something.
You been here all night?
Mm-hmm.
This Senne van Eyck has
a specie insurance policy
on his books
covering diamond shipments.
They're in and out of a diamond
cutting house in Surat.
The premiums paid by a Cayman
Islands company called Culain.
Guess who founded Culain?
Fionn Brannigan?
Bibi Melnick.
Now we get our warrant.
Kamal Mersi is downstairs.
He asked for you specifically.
Doctor Mansour said
to talk to you.
She said she thought
I could trust you.
Look. I just
don't want my friends to get
into trouble because of me.
Not if you help us.
And we think you know
things that could.
Sana?
She didn't do anything wrong.
She just wanted to learn
Flemish and
become a music teacher.
The night she died,
you were on shift together?
She wanted to stay late.
She used to sneak in
to the office
if no one was around
to use the computer.
Skype her family in Syria.
I said I'd wait for her
but she insisted I go home.
She was calling me
when she was leaving.
She thought
One second.
I'll play it for you.
She saw something strange
when she left work.
When everyone was supposed
to be gone.
And she wishes
she'd left with me.
She has two creepy men
too close behind her.
I should have stayed.
I should have stayed.
Um
You can hear her
run for her bus.
She promises to call me
as soon as she's home.
And she never did.
I drove to her hostel.
I drove her route home.
Nothing.
Then, when I got back
to my place,
I saw two men inside.
Waiting.
I -- I knew it was them.
Can you describe them?
I didn't stick around.
And then what?
And then the next morning,
Sana's death
is all over the papers
and you guys want me for me
for the Antwerp bomb.
So I ran. And hid.
What would you do?
Yeah. Mila.
Uh, could you go back
through the port CCTV
on the night of the 17th
and locate Sana?
I can't do anything with those.
I want polished.
With certificates.
Hurry up, Bibi.
That's twice you've tried
to fob me off.
-I'm not trying to fob you off.
-Get the polished ones.
What's this?
That's Fionn's full share
for next month.
I want Fionn's full share
for forever.
Take it in instalments, Siobhan.
This is my father's money.
We don't want to lose it
all again by drawing attention.
Bibi, all you need
to do right now
is give me a good reason
not to give this to CAB.
Every detail of your
and Fionn's entire system.
You're implicated too.
Fionn never implicated me
in anything.
Only you and him.
And he's dead.
You'll never get them
out of the country.
I've made arrangements,
thank you.
I'm sorry it's come to this.
Oh, fuck off, Bibi.
CCTV from this camera
was corrupt.
Vince was waiting on news
from IT,
but I managed to recover
the data and I found Sana.
And she wasn't alone.
Then where did she go?
It's all we have.
She didn't make it
to the bus-stop camera.
No.
It's too dangerous now.
After dark.
Yes.
Like I said,
I-I barely saw them.
But yeah, tall like that.
Hang on. Did you see that?
Look.
Look at that.
What's Bibi Melnick doing there?
It must be 4:00 in the morning?
Okay. Go back.
Check when she arrived.
Everywhere.
This woman is everywhere.
There. 40 minutes earlier.
Close in.
Bibi Melnick brought these men?
Or she is being followed too.
She's not the one
dead in a bathtub.
-Port or house?
-She's at the port.
She used her Alpha pass
20 minutes ago.
Okay.
I'm sorry about your brother.
Thank you.
Sir. According
to her Alpha pass,
Bibi Melnick was in the port
the night before
the Brussels bomb
as well as the Antwerp one.
There's also a ship
that was present in the port
on both dates.
And is it there now?
According to the log,
it came in yesterday.
It's her.
Oh, my God! She's the one
bringing the bombers in.
-Copy that.
-Sana must have seen her.
And Bibi Melnick had her killed.
She's been right
in front of us the whole time.
Bibi must have seen the
call to Kamal on Sana's phone
and sent them after him.
Come on. Get up.
Hurry up.
In here. In here.
Shit! That was her!
-Turn around!
-What?
Turn around!
Fuck!
Come on. Open. Open. Open.
Jesus Christ!
Open, open.
Can I help you, Ms. Melnick?
Thank you.
Fuck.
Fuck.
You're being followed,
Mevrouw Melnick.
By police.
Shit.
Get rid of them!
That's what you're paid for.
Shit!
Shit!
Are you listening?
This is what you need to do.
I need a minute.
Mevrouw.
Listen to me.
You are out of time.
You need to keep moving.
They are closing on you.
-Mevrouw!
-I'm listening.
Just keep going,
she can't have got far.
He's in the car now.
That's why she was in work
the day after
she ID'd her dead brother.
The day this ship was in port.
He's in the car.
Shit!
Okay. Get ready.
Now.
Do not lose her, come on!
-Fuck!
-Don't lose her!
-Come on!
-Fuck it!
This guy's gotta be
working for her.
Fuck it!
Instruct all units to stop
a Black Audi.
Uniform-Whiskey Zulu-7-9-1
traveling south.
-We have to go after Melnick.
-I don't see her.
I want a chopper in the air,
we cannot lose her.
Already on its way, boss.
There! There she is!
Melnick is heading
south on Route 29.
Tell me we have units
in place, Mila!
Just checking that now.
Fuck.
Get out of the car!
Raise your hands!
Get out of the car! Now!
Where is he?
Open the boot!
