Section Zero (2016) s01e05 Episode Script

LOW CITY
BALESTRA’S PLACE
The bastards have already cleared up.
BETWEEN THE LIVING AND THE DEAD
How could you have sanctioned
all this shit?
Things have gone too fast.
We didn’t think it’d be like this.
We needed to be sure
before letting you in on it.
Sure of what?
I should kill you just for that, Charly.
Shit, what do you think?
That only you get it?
We all get it.
But it was Munro & co.
who did it to you, not us.
Don’t mix us bastards up, okay?
They tried to kill Elie,
tortured her to get information.
They’re the same people
who ruined your life and family.
You should be after them, not me.
We found out Balestra worked for them.
He tipped off Munro
and did the dirty work.
The sod even got into Elie’s hospital room
to finish the job
his Black Squad cronies started.
We didn’t want that,
but it still happened.
It’s a short step towards the scum
firing at your kid on Munro’s orders.
Where is he?
A mortuary drawer,
where he should’ve been since birth.
Yes.
Okay I’m on my way.
Gotta go.
Bianchi and Cheyenne got hit.
What did they say?
They found 8 impact points
5 in the vest,
2 in the throat, 1 in the cheek.
How’re you?
I’m okay.
I couldn’t shoot, Charly,
she’s only a kid.
Don’t beat yourself up,
I would have done the same thing.
Don’t die on us like that.
No 8-year-old bitch
can kill you.
What about up there?
Nothing,
she’d cleaned up before we got there.
LOW CITY. THE STEPS
Hello, everyone.
This is former police commandant
Sirius Becker.
You’re following his orders now.
He’ll command
attack and infiltration units.
Those of you who know him
will realize how valuable his presence is.
Those who don’t, will soon learn to value
his incomparable leadership and combat skills.
Briefing at 6:00,
big meeting room.
We’ll cover
your first mission’s objectives.
Thank you.
Their freedom is in your hands.
They’re either under your command,
or they’re out.
I’ll leave you
There are two men outside
in case problems arise.
Why would there be any?
I know they had your balls,
but your vocal cords too?
You ignore us for 10 years,
come back from the dead
asking us to help fight the worst.
It’s been with us a long time.
No one can ask anything of us.
Like you, I have no choice.
Why did you drop us?
I didn’t, and you know it.
On that subject
How’s Elie?
Fine.
Good for her.
That’s good.
You still screwing her,
or have you moved on?
- Take that back!
- I’d rather suck off a corpse.
Sexton from Patrol 3
Problem on Quarry Road,
337 km marker.
Attack on Bianchi’s ambulance
Need backup and a medical team here.
What are you doing here?
I can go wherever I want.
Answer my question.
Coincidence.
What’s that?
You should know.
- They’re coming, you’d better go.
- Or what?
My partner was in that ambulance.
Best tell me what you know.
In exchange for what?
That depends
Buggers with barcodes
and “MK” tattooed on them.
Know anything about them?
Just a name:
Dan Sorensen.
Former mercenary
in the Prometheus assault sections.
Officially killed
in operation “Brekhna”,
against jihadists in northern Mali.
Where is the bastard?
Munro took him from us,
no news since.
Why do you want him?
Tell her.
Two black SUVs,
a Black Squad unit
They took your friend.
You know where to?
No, and I don’t give a shit.
If you see Yukov,
tell him I want to talk to him.
What about?
We know he didn’t murder Sirius,
he can help bring down
those who involved him in it.
They’re the same people he’s using now.
I don’t think
he’s interested in anyone else.
You’ll find him in High City.
He lives there with his whore.
That’s all I know.
Go on, clear off.
HIGH CITY. YUKOV’S APARTMEN
If you fear death,
don’t listen to your heart beating
in the midst of silence.
Why won’t you tell me who did that to you?
One day I’ll know the truth, Eva,
and on that day
you’ll die.
I tried
then thought of you
picking up the pieces.
I didn’t think you’d be pleased.
I certainly wouldn’t have been.
They took my daughter,
messed with me,
stole my face.
They’re from Hell, Charly.
We’ll find them, Elie.
I promise they’ll pay,
even if it costs me my life.
Keep that for those who need it,
I’m already twice-dead.
I want to kill them
before dying a last time.
They made me into a monster,
they’ll have to fight a monster.
You’re not a monster.
Eva Antonenka: identified.
Commissioner Reinhardt, leave a message.
Charly, it’s me.
Call me, it’s urgent, please.
Shit!
This is police commandant
Charles Reinhardt,
currently of the 3rd district.
His help and experience
have made you the force you now are.
Over to you.
Today’s primary objective is to
locate and eliminate Constantin Yukov,
falsely accused of Sirius’s murder,
and last recruited by Col. Munro.
Our information is
that Yukov supervised the raids
over the last few months
in the Steps.
Raids for what?
We don’t know.
There are rumors of organ trafficking,
of organized massacres,
but we’ve found no bodies.
Sources say Yukov recently moved
to High City,
into a category 5 apartment
in the Black Squad area,
together with his girl,
Eva Antonenka.
Yukov’s untouchable
in the secure area where he now is,
our only way is to
wait for him to go to Low City
to carry on his extortion.
The bird flies, then what?
Kill his escort, take him
and make him talk.
- If he won’t?
- He’ll talk to me,
they’ve all talked.
One thing I don’t get
Why not attack
Munro directly?
Why get Yukov first?
A, Munro’s heavily protected.
B, he’s a war hero
with an army of faithful, devoted men
who’d die for him.
Yeah, what difference does that make?
We wait for heroes
to fall from their pedestals,
that’s why we need Yukov.
Only he can tell us
what the raids are for,
where all the people disappear to
and about the Chimera.
So, I look at the guy,
my piece
shoved in his ugly mug,
he says in his stupid bloody accent,
“Why don’t you shoot?”
“Why I shouldn’t?
“Give me a bloody good reason.”
“It’s against the law!”
“The bloody law.”
I tell him, “Okay, I’ll holster my piece.”
The guy starts to relax just a bit,
he’s already pissed and shat his pants.
I go to pass him the tongs,
I take out my knife
and plunge it into his eye,
all the way to the brain,
he squeals like a pig.
“The law may forbid me to shoot,
“but it doesn’t stop me
from knifing you.”
Bastard didn’t even laugh,
he died like a shit.
Turn that the fuck up!
Your dad wasn’t even conceived
when I started listening to that.
Listen!
They’re talking about the Devil.
“If you meet me, join me,”
“or I’ll destroy the mediocrity
that is your soul.”
Didn’t know
you were here.
Am I interrupting something?
Does this upset you?
What are you
looking at?
You know what I’m looking at.
- My breasts?
- No.
The scars underneath them.
You’re not here by chance. What do you want?
Why did you save us?
From what?
You knew what would happen
if we went back.
What do you want, forgiveness?
I want nothing.
The truth will come out.
Simon’s dead ’cos of you,
and without Saber, we would be too.
Who got you out?
I thought you did.
So, who did?
Don’t know.
Where’s Saber?
And Elie?
The group’s incomplete without them.
Elie wouldn’t have accepted,
and Saber
isn’t a cop anymore.
We’re meant to be cops?
Only you hang on to that idea:
Serving, protecting, seeking the truth –
where did all that crap lead you?
Section Zero won’t save the world,
we both know that.
Still like me?
You’re the one who left, Lucy. Not me.
Because you were married
and because you’d dumped me.
Hi!
It’s me
You okay?
Where are we?
In the hospital.
For your treatment.
Remember what happened?
Who are you?
I’m your mother.
You’ve got a little brother – Téo.
Do you remember Téo?
I don’t remember anything.
I told you it might be too soon.
What did you do to her?
Listen
- Her doctors are among--
- I don’t care, I’m a doctor, too.
I wanna know
what they did to her.
What treatment she’s having.
What is it?
If you don’t tell me, I swear
All you’ve spent on my work
will be for nothing.
Let’s talk somewhere else.
Not eating?
Lost my taste for good things.
You know that
most of the people in Low City
would be happy to dine here,
out of the bins.
I’ve never been much
for identifying with others’ misery.
We all deserve the place we’re in,
just as you deserve a place
at this table
to enjoy this excellent cuisine.
A life void of virus,
no need to filter water for washing.
I was fine where I was,
before you and your minions
came and screwed up my life.
You’re beautiful, Diane,
with exceptional charm and intelligence.
You’ll get used to this life
and, in time, you will thank me.
Who knows,
maybe we can plan
something more long-term.
You
and me.
Get your hand off me,
now!
Next time,
you’ll get my fork in your throat.
Yes?
What are you doing?
Been trying to get hold of you
Fell asleep, sorry. What’s up?
The Black Squad kidnapped Bianchi
on the way to the hospital.
They killed everyone
and took him.
What’s all this shit?
It’s not shit.
I got a tip-off from Saber’s lieutenant.
Seems they were there,
but didn’t intervene.
Where are you?
We gotta do something.
Can’t let them keep walking all over us!
I’ll call back!
Bianchi was taken by the Black Squad,
dunno where he is.
Stay sharp,
I’ll send patrols 7 and 9 to help.
My dear Mr. Bianchi,
as you didn’t answer
our questions
about Chimera trafficking,
we’ll have to use means
I personally find repugnant,
but which offer indisputable results.
Don’t worry, you won’t die.
We’ll just remove part of your brain,
to examine it more closely
and take the information it holds,
using the very latest method,
our own invention.
My dear Mr. Bianchi,
I hope you have a pleasant time.
What we risk
shows what we’re worth, Colonel.
Trust me.
Yes.
Okay.
Drop it!
Drop your weapon!
Hands on your head!
Move!
On your knees!
Open the door!
Drop it!
What’re you doing here?
Take him!
Same thing?
Worse – children.
Film it all
bodies, trucks,
the bastards driving them.
What do we do with them?
Execute them.
Who did that?
The cartridges are part
of a batch stolen 2 years ago
from a Federal Police
Special Forces dump.
Which means?
If we can find the thieves,
we can maybe
track back to the killers.
They’ve not been identified?
It was filed under
a fruitless investigation.
- Commandant Reinhardt was in charge.
- Reinhardt
that son of a bitch.
Shall I sort it?
No, Reinhardt’s my business.
But find out the significance
of the “SZ” the swine drew on our trucks
and ask yourself
how and from whom
they knew the date, time and route
of the convoy they attacked.
By the way,
a Sgt. Holzer was missing.
Seems he was taken
outside his home two weeks ago.
- I imagine he talked.
- You imagine?
You think we win battles
with imagination?
It takes rigor and obstinacy.
Leave imagination
to madmen, poets and lovers.
- Are you worried Yukov will talk--
- Yukov only knows what he needs to.
He’s an idiot
who’s only ever succeeded at one thing
Being dead long before dying.
Eric, the next convoy’s yours.
If we should suffer
further humiliation,
you’ll be better off dead.
It’d annoy me
to make you pay for your incompetence.
Dismissed.
We know you organize Munro’s raids.
Where do these people go?
What do you do with the bodies?
You’ll find out nothing,
because I know nothing.
Three years ago,
I was taken by Cartel 119,
who kept me
in a septic tank for 135 days.
They pissed and shat on me,
insulted me, laughed.
I only left it
to go to the torture chamber,
where I endured hours of agony.
But I never spoke Know why?
Because they already knew the answers.
They were doing it for fun.
I don’t do it for fun.
I do it to get information.
This is Ringo.
Lucanus cervus,
part of the Lucanidae species,
commonly known as a dung beetle.
It has highly developed mandibles –
the male especially –
which it uses to dig tunnels through dung,
where it buries stuff,
where females lay their eggs.
It’s coprophagous.
That means it lives on bodily waste,
on shit.
It could’ve been made for you.
It’ll start on your sinuses,
then eat your eyes,
soon it’ll get to your brain.
Get this crap away from me!
I’m listening.
Get this crap away from me!
I’m listening.
Get it away first!
I’m listening.
I only organize the raids.
I deal with the pickups and deliveries.
I deliver the goods,
I collect the bodies.
That’s all I can tell you.
Where, to whom?
The meeting point changes each time.
Where do you take the bodies?
To the Black Squad,
who take them to
somewhere called “Block 13”.
Get this crap away from me
or kill me!
I think he likes it here,
he’s found his new home.
Bunch of bastards!
Bunch of bastards!
What’s the connection with Chimera?
Fuck off, you bunch of bastards!
I can’t stand bugs.
