Subteran (2025) s01e05 Episode Script

1
How far out are you?
Five minutes.
Make sure they don't move the patient.
- Can we trust him, this neighbor?
- Yes, he's a family friend.
They know who I am now,
and so they know I wasn't the one in…
in my car.
They took my son.
If she wanted to hurt him,
she would've done it already.
- Now we need to wait.
- Wait for what?
You think I can really
just sit around and wait?
Their deal goes down in two days,
so they'll need him as insurance.
You're obsessed with two days.
You've said "two days"
for five whole days now.
Right now,
we need to take care of your mother,
and then we'll get Matei back, I swear.
- Did you find her?
- I found something even better.
I drugged him. He's asleep.
She'll contact us now.
How are you feeling?
I feel alone.
MUNICIPAL HOSPITAL
Doroteea Serbu,
72 years old, head trauma.
Glasgow score 15, pulse 80.
Last blood pressure, 110/60.
Saturation 97.
The doctor's been briefed
on her condition.
- Head to room two.
- Sorry, I have to ask you to wait here.
Where have you been?
- Sorry. Excuse me.
- What happened? Where's Matei?
- You have to tell me so I can help.
- Cornel, I get it.
You've always helped our family out
ever since my father died,
and I do appreciate that.
Just know that I am handling it.
You've got to trust me on this one.
If you tell me about it,
I can help you out.
I still know some people.
For now, I really need you
to take care of my mom.
Please, Cornel.
[mysterious music playing
All right.
Thanks.
How are you feeling?
How the hell do you think?
I don't know if my mom's okay
or where my son is.
But at least I've got this thing.
When will they realize
they've been locked out?
Right when they try
to log into the Compaq.
And if they try to hurt Matei,
they won't see the money.
The injury gave her a subdural hematoma.
The doctor doesn't think they have
any time for any further tests on her.
She could possibly have brain damage
if they don't begin
to operate on her right away.
What do you mean?
What are you saying, Cornel?
She might die?
They need to reduce the pressure
on her brain,
but if he operates now,
then everything'll be all right.
Please read and sign this for me.
We need your consent
in case anything happens.
We'll do to him
everything they did to her.
Who, Bones?
The bitch's son.
- You wanna kill a little boy?
- Yeah, and burn him.
I'll let her watch.
We can't tell your father.
When we have proof,
we'll tell him everything,
but until then, your sister's alive.
Well, the thing is,
we both know she isn't.
Do you know why that is?
How'd she end up in that car?
She overheard me
when I was talking to your father,
and she wanted to be part of the action.
She demanded to go with Bones.
So it was her idea?
You sure it wasn't your idea?
I told you, she wanted to.
And you let her tell you what to do,
big man?
Did you wanna get with her?
Wait, what?
It's all right if you wanted to fuck her.
We are the same after all.
- He's gonna walk in on us.
- Then we're in the wrong place for it.
Take 'em off.
You heard me.
Now.
Baby got no money
He can't get no girl ♪
I'm not sorry ♪
You can call me mommy ♪
Please just sit.
They said it will be three hours.
- Try not to worry.
- I just hate being so powerless over it.
I know how that feels.
- Thanks.
- Here, Cami.
- Calm down.
- What, you know the feeling?
So you've both got kids,
and you've been through this already?
The both of you have no idea.
We just want to help.
Fine. If you wanna help, Cornel,
could you go over to her house
and pick up some clothes
for when she's finished?
Thanks.
And I'm going to need a laptop.
I have to be ready when they call.
- You shouldn't be on your own.
- I'll be fine.
Would you please do it for me?
They're not gonna find us,
but they will call.
- How do you know?
- I just do.
Why did you get Cami involved?
Because she killed Crisi Tănase.
I had no choice.
- Does she know about us?
- She doesn't, so don't worry.
Okay. Let's keep it that way.
- Tănase?
- He got The Bank's laptop back.
But Cami says it's encrypted.
He can't get the money without her.
- The problem is--
- Is that they've got Matei.
Tănase'll trade the kid for the money
within two days.
- Why?
- He's got a big deal coming.
We have to catch him red handed.
The boy changes everything.
He needs to be the priority.
Why is that?
Is he your son?
Aren't you their friend?
It is because I care
that I wanna get Tănase.
She thinks she can manage,
but she's in way over her head.
If she arranges an exchange,
then we need to be there,
and we need to bring the cops
to arrest Tănase
for blackmail and kidnapping.
Mm-hmm.
So, you think that's better?
Instead of catching him doing
a drug deal worth a few million euros?
- I don't know.
- You don't…
I do know if there's a chance,
then we have to take it.
Even so, do you know a cop
we could trust?
Possibly.
My old Academy professor, Ion Tatu.
He didn't recognize me at the precinct
and wasn't on The Bank's list.
Where's the list? Do you have it?
I only have one photo off the laptop,
although we have everything.
Um, Cami can access it.
I see why you involved her,
but I hope you know that she's a risk.
NO CALLER ID
Chief Commissioner Tatu's phone.
Golescu speaking.
Good evening, Mister Golescu.
Who is this?
This is Ion's father.
- I wanted to talk to him.
- Mister Tatu.
Ion was involved in a shooting
over at the precinct,
and he had to go to the hospital
for his heart. He's fine now.
I still have his phone.
Carmen can tell you more.
He's at home now, resting.
Uh… Great. Uh…
I'll try him on his landline then.
I appreciate it.
Thank you, sir.
Go on, Vali. It's late.
- Working overtime?
- Mm-hmm.
Bravo. Do we have Tatu's parents' info
so we can reach out?
Well, I know that his father passed.
His mother is still alive,
but I'll see if I can find her number
for you.
Have you IDed the guy
from the hotel footage?
Yes and no. I don't know. It's strange.
In this photo, he's a cop.
But there's no M. Roman in our database.
Roman?
And so he was either doing deepfakes
ten years ago,
or someone wiped his info.
But why?
I knew a Roman. He was kicked out
his first year of academy.
So out of spite, he switched sides?
- Do I release his name?
- No. Leave it.
We're two cops down.
The DA will have my head if the press
finds out we're down another one.
Let's wait a little longer, huh?
Mm-hmm.
- How did everything go?
- The doctor says it went well.
You can relax now.
Thank you, miss.
Oh, uh, sorry, I'm in your way.
- No. Hold on. Easy.
- You're Roman.
I thought I recognized you.
Take it easy. We just wanna talk with you.
I told you, you have to rest.
I would've answered that.
Without those pills that night,
you wouldn't be here.
Don't worry. I've got this.
- I know you too.
- Yes, you do.
Prosecutor Cornel Zisu.
I've been retired a while.
I worked on a few of the cases
you were on.
- Who is it?
- You don't know them. Guys from work.
Just go to bed. It's fine.
Yeah, really great time to visit.
A prosecutor… Well, a former prosecutor
with the most wanted man in Bucharest?
He's working for me.
He's been undercover
in Tănase's organization for a year.
- Undercover? Neither of you are agents.
- No, wait a minute.
Roman used to be until he exposed someone
who was on Tănase's payroll
and was kicked out.
Does anyone in the force know about
this little operation you've got going on?
- Do you think we could risk it?
- Tănase's got a few too many cops he pays.
He does? How do you know
I'm not on the payroll then?
Chill out. I'm getting my phone.
The Bank, his accountant,
his laptop had a list of names.
You weren't on it.
Is this the same laptop
that you broke into our station to find?
No one was supposed to be killed.
One of his men went crazy.
Marian Negrescu. Dracu.
Okay, so what are you doing here
at this hour?
Tănase's about to do a big deal.
And we can catch him red handed.
We need a cop that we know we can trust
to make the arrest.
Mm.
Mommy?
Momma!
- Cami?
- Yeah.
- You… Are you really alive?
- Yes.
- Yes, Mom, and you are too. Thank God.
- What happened?
Matei…
There was a woman…
Just try to relax. Forget her.
That little bitch attacked me.
Listen.
Cami.
The police said that…
Cami, are you in trouble?
Yeah.
But someone's helping me.
A police officer.
- Mm.
- We're almost out of the woods.
And you trust this guy?
I don't know.
Oh, wonderful.
Thanks.
My Doroteea.
- Ow, ow.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- How are you feeling?
- Right now?
Like I drank a handle of your whiskey.
- And who's this with you?
- Marius. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Serbu.
- He's the one I told you was helping me.
- Oh.
Mr. Marius,
if I knew I'd have company,
I would've done up my hair
before you arrived.
Oh.
- Have you gotten any word?
- Not yet.
You look better like this.
I can't believe we did it in here.
You didn't seem to mind last night.
If your father finds out,
we'll have to watch our backs.
Yeah. With you, he'd start somewhere else.
Chill. Even if he finds out,
it'll be after the delivery.
Once we have the drugs,
we'll be riding the wave.
And he'll be under it.
Tili!
And we don't say a word about Crisi.
Not yet.
Look at this.
A late birthday present.
You actually were right on time.
I must've been good.
Look at that. Shows up early.
The employee of the month!
Now that I have you here,
I want my money back.
CALL 0755 353 257
- Boss, we got it, but there's a hiccup.
- What the fuck is this?
A phone number.
Thanks. I know it's a phone number,
but why the fuck do I have to call it?
- Hey, calm down.
- Piece of shit hacker.
Sonia. It's Bones's girl.
They wanna take your money,
but it's all right. We're covered here.
Okay.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Everything all right?
- Yes.
- The doctor wants to do another CAT scan.
- Why?
- Okay.
- If it's good, you can leave today.
I feel all right. See?
I'm doing fine.
I'm talking. I'm eating. I laugh.
- There you go.
- Thanks.
We'll be waiting for you here.
I'll do all of the CAT scans
if it gets us home.
Don't show them the decoder.
Let them ask about it first.
Let them give you a time and a place.
After they do, we'll give them ours.
Okay, uh…
Cornel, you should probably leave,
or if you wanna stay,
I need you to be silent.
I'll try to keep them talking
until we get their location.
Who am I speaking with?
The guy that has your son's life
in his hands.
Okay.
Well, I've got your life in mine, so…
All right, then in that case,
maybe we can help each other.
I wanna see him first.
He's here with us now.
We're great friends.
Switch to video.
You gave me a run for my money,
Miss Sonia.
I didn't take you for a thief.
You got me there.
Very few have gotten past me.
Then we're even
since you fucked up my life big time.
I wanna see Matei.
- Mama?
- Sh!
Matei, baby, it's okay.
I'm gonna get you, I promise.
Okay? I promise. Matei…
Right.
I showed you mine. Now you show me yours.
I want all the money back.
Now tell me where you put it,
or I'll send him home in pieces.
No.
I have this key here.
Without it, you can't access the partition
with the crypto.
I'll trade with you.
I'll give you the key. You give me my son.
And then we can leave each other alone.
So tell me,
what does your kid like to eat?
If it's a special occasion, pizza,
and I think this is
a pretty special occasion, don't you?
Okay.
Make sure that you keep your phone
charged and on.
I'll get your little boy a pizza.
If you try and screw me on this,
it'll be a very special pizza
for your son.
- No.
- Because it'll be his final one.
No, no, no. No. I…
Did you manage to locate them?
No! No, no, no.
FOUND HIM
Hey, boss. We found them.
What are you waiting for?
Grab Tili and get that bitch here now.
Make sure that you get the key. Go.
How are you doing?
At least he doesn't know… 'bout Crisi.
- Is this live from Tănase's place?
- Yeah.
- Cameras inside?
- No.
He only has them outside, for intruders.
At least now we know
that's where he's keeping Matei.
Let's see where they are.
In Snagov.
We need to come up with a plan.
Where the hell are they going?
- Oh.
- Hello, ma'am.
- Hello, Mister Golescu.
- How's your husband doing?
He's better today. Please, come in.
Thank you.
They let you out? Don't get up.
- Yeah, it was nothing big.
- Panic attack?
No, it was a heart attack,
but as you can see, not a serious one.
- I brought your phone.
- Thank you.
Did it help the investigation?
Did you find evidence on it?
Your father called you. Yesterday.
- Oh, did he?
- He was very worried.
In fact, we all were.
That's how he is.
Always worried, you know.
- That's how old folks are.
- Mm.
We went on with your investigation,
sent out a bulletin.
Now we're looking for that guy
in Luca's picture.
- The one you were looking into.
- And?
He wasn't in the database at all.
Nickname Bones.
He was one of Tănase's men.
He was at the hotel
when Luca was murdered.
He's our prime suspect.
I think Luca was trying to get Tănase.
I have a different theory.
Take a look at this.
We have a new lead.
The woman at the hotel.
Seen near the crime scenes
right over here.
She takes off her wig.
Where'd you get that?
The boys collected CCTV footage
from all the cameras in the area.
This one came in today.
So I think that one of Tănase's
twins could be the killer.
And I also heard that one of them didn't
show up for her father's birthday party.
I'll look into it.
- Get well soon.
- I'm trying.
Let's go.
They said she's okay.
I'll bring you
the discharge forms. Just wait here, okay?
- But we already signed it.
- I need to give you a copy.
I mean, it's protocol.
My bosses are very insistent.
Wait here, okay?
- It's okay, right?
- Yeah. Don't worry.
Just give me a second.
I'm out. You downstairs?
Did you use the entrance that--
Yeah, I'm downstairs. What floor?
Elevator to the second floor,
then the stairs. Room 12.
Who was that on the phone?
Tell me!
RECENT CALLS
DRACU
Where are they now?
- What is it?
- They're coming.
Get him in there. Sit him down.
- God, what did you do to him?
- Let's go.
We're leaving. Now.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
- What's going on?
- Now.
- What are you making there, ma'am?
- Socks for my granddaughter.
That's very sweet. She'll love it.
- What's going on? Would you tell me?
- Did you bring the laptop?
Come on, Mom. Keep moving. Let's go.
Over this way. Hurry.
Come on, come on, come on!
- Shit.
- Fuck.
Sit down.
- Are you fucking kidding?
- I'll kill those motherfuckers!
What are you looking at?
Okay, go, go, go.
- Come on.
- Hurry!
- Hurry!
- Let's go! Quickly.
I'll meet you outside.
Hurry!
ECO-FRIENDLY CLEANING
Fuck! Shit! Shit!
- Goddamn it! Goddamn it!
- God fucking damn it!
Hey, sir. Coroner's office.
We identified the burn victim.
We couldn't even get DNA samples.
She was burnt too badly.
As you know, our first guess
was that it was probably
the vehicle's owner, Camelia Serbu.
So who was it then?
Finally we got the correct dental records
for her, but the thing is…
The thing is it wasn't her, so?
So… we thought outside the box.
We identified a partial serial number
that we found on a piece
of platinum jewelry she was wearing,
and we were able to find the store.
- We identified the buyer.
- Yeah, so who is it?
- We found a name, which led us to--
- Which led you to the dental record.
Cristina Nicoleta Tănase.
Thank you.
Camelia Serbu's alive.
She's the lawyer.
Find her and bring her in for questioning.
All right.
Careful.
All right. Come on.
- Let's go.
- Careful.
There you go.
Okay.
How is she?
Okay.
I hope she'll fall asleep.
Might wanna rest a while yourself.
Yeah, like I would be able to
while my son is with…
- Cami.
- No.
You know,
I'm sick of hearing it's gonna be okay.
Wait. Someone's coming.
Who is that?
Oh, I know him!
Um, he was with Luca's boss
when I went to the station.
Uh, Golescu. Prosecutor Golescu.
Maybe he'll find Matei.
I have some news for you.
And it isn't good.
I'm sorry, Nicu.
Who did it?
All the clues point
to Luca Voinea's partner, Camelia Serbu.
I believe she worked with one of your men,
but I'm still figuring things out.
Do you have a photo?
There, uh… wasn't much left.
- I'm sorry.
- I mean a picture of the cop's girlfriend.
And one more thing.
He's with your guys, right?
He's…
I have reason to believe
that he's an undercover cop.
Or ex-cop.
I think he has an axe to grind with you.
You can go.
Go now.
What's he doing? He's leaving?
No, no, no! Go back!
No, Matei's there! Go back in!
Uh, can we talk to him somehow?
Call him, or…
- No. No, we can't.
- I'll call the police now.
- Cami.
- What?
He's leaving because he works for Tănase.
I'm sorry, boss.
They got away.
Tănase isn't the type
to take business home.
He'll find another way.
Look. See here?
Those are his businesses in Bucharest
where he might want to make the exchange.
What the hell is he waiting for?
Tănase needs this money tomorrow,
and even if he finds another hacker,
he doesn't have the decoder.
The fact he hasn't called
means something's up.
He's humiliated. Cami's the only
one who's managed to pin him like this.
Aren't you afraid of what he'll do
when he sees her?
That's why we keep checking
his offices, his access, his buildings.
We're making a plan for every contingency,
and we're close.
- What's wrong with you, Marius?
- It's different now.
A child's life is on the line.
Did you forget our mission?
Should I remind you?
- We--
- No, tell me.
What mission is that? Hmm? Hmm?
So you know each other already.
And you, what?
You were planning this all along?
- Behind my back?
- No…
And which one of you
involved Luca in this thing?
Who are you guys really?
Who are you, Cornel?
Our dear, kind, reliable family friend?
And you? Who are you?
Well, Zisu and I, we've known each other
for quite a while.
He was my teacher at the Police Academy.
I recruited him for this.
I was following Tănase for years
with nothing to show for it.
He got in a year ago. We're so close now.
- You're close to catching the guy?
- Yes.
Well, great! So you've found
some good bait to use, have you?
- Cami--
- The bait is Matei!
You really think
you've infiltrated Tănase's family
and you're destroying it? You're wrong!
What you've done is infiltrated my family.
We're the ones suffering!
You've hurt my mother
and Luca, myself, and my little boy.
One of us is dead already, and for what?
So you can find a crook?
Well, I don't care.
This country's filled with them!
What difference is it
if one of them goes free?
This is no ordinary crook here.
If he's gone,
well, that'll solve everything, right?
- Good luck with your mission!
- Tănase killed Doru.
- What?
- Tănase killed your father.
- Cornel, my father was killed in a crash--
- That was the cover-up.
There was no car crash that night.
That's what Tănase does,
but no one could prove it.
So he walked free again.
Oh, so now my father's involved!
You're dragging him into this as well?
He was the only one missing
from this conspiracy.
I don't believe you anymore, Cornel.
I don't believe either of you.
With your missions, your objectives,
and all your shit!
- Cami.
- I'm going to get Matei.
Cami. Cami!
Cami!
Stolen vehicle, India, 20,
Romeo, Alpha, Whiskey plates.
Going North on Splaiul Unirii.
Description?

Dark hair. Probably 30 years old.
Any more cars responding?

She's surrounded.
