Berlin (2023) s01e06 Episode Script

[SOMBER INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]
[BERLIN, ECHOING] It's so terrible.
Just when you were about to be parents.
[FAINTLY] Just when you
were about to be parents.
Just when you were about to be parents.
[LOUDER] Just when you
were about to be parents.
[CAMILLE GASPS]
Do you think that someone
planning to have a child would
think of stealing 44 million euros?
And why steal jewels
that only he knows about?
And steal from a vault
only he can access?
Does that make any sense to you?
You'd have to be stupid
to pull a job like that.
Right, very stupid. Makes no sense.
But you know, sometimes life
I mean, what about all the evidence
that you said the
police had found so far?
What if someone broke in?
That's it. We never put
the alarm on at night.
Someone broke in, took his keys,
his coat, his car, all of it.
They took everything.
Camille, I don't deny that
some thieves are pretty crazy.
Some are complete psychopaths.
But still, I find it hard to believe
that there would be someone so unique
as to steal 44 million from him
and then break into his home.
I mean, usually thieves steal
stuff, and then they run away.
No.
No, my husband would never
have left his phone on.
And he would never have brought the
jewels back to our country house.
François, he loves heist movies,
and that's rule number one.
Actually, I'm a big fan
of heist movies myself.
Eight years, I've known him.
And I know that François
is a good person.
The police may have their
doubts, but I don't have any.
I had decided to leave my husband
and live with you, once in Paris.
But now, with everything
that has happened,
I cannot leave François alone in jail
for a crime that he didn't commit.

Considering all the
evidence we have against you,
you're looking at a
minimum of 15 years in jail.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
If you cooperate, you
can reduce your sentence.
But you don't have much time.
We must stop your accomplices
before they leave the country.
Inspector, listen. I'll
do anything to help.
But you have to believe me, I had
nothing to do with any of this.
Okay.
For the moment, I will ask
the judge to deny you bail
and to remand you in custody.
And that all your properties
and assets be seized
and your bank accounts frozen.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
You've obliged me to set up
a nationwide search operation,
but I promise you that those
jewels will never leave France.
[RIFLE RATTLES]
[IN FRENCH] Let's close this.
Let's go. Put the chains back.

What the hell are you doing?
If the police stop us,
I'm taking the trap door.
Everyone, just relax. We're cool.
We didn't leave any loose ends.
You think so? Are you sure about
that? What if our cover's been blown?
What if they've got us on camera?
Or they've tracked the RV?
[IN FRENCH] What are they doing?
- [DAMIÁN] Stop!
- [ROI] If they stop us, I'm jumping.
They'll see you, fool!
There's police everywhere!
Close the fucking door!
Over there. Drop him at that
house. They won't see him.
Don't encourage him!

[IN FRENCH] Are you crazy?
You wanted to run me over?
Uh, sorry
Spanish, español.
We do not speak French.
I'm really sorry. I
didn't see you, Officer.
I was having an argument with my son.
Arguing about what?
Food. He wanted to stop.
That's twice in two hours.
You know how it is.
Damn teenagers, they eat
like piranhas. [CHUCKLES]
Your ID, please.
And open the back door.
[QUIETLY] 'Kay.
Martita, could you hand me
the IDs and open the door?
Stay where you are.
[TENSE MUSIC PULSING]
- You're coming from?
- [DAMIÁN] From Versailles.
We spent a few days in Paris,
and then yesterday in Versailles.
And do you have any proof?
Besides the sandwich
wrapping or the souvenirs?
I'm not sure.
I don't know.
One second, let me, uh
No, uh, not that. Metro ticket. Mm
- Yeah. Here it is. That's it.
- [PAPER RUSTLES]
There you go.
You left the hotel at 2:40?
[SOFTLY] Yeah.
And what brings a Spanish family
to France at this time of the year?
You don't have school?
Are you on holiday?
I wouldn't call it a holiday, no.
It was a tribute. To our mother.
- A farewell trip.
- [ROI] She died three weeks ago.
She dreamt of one last trip
together, but she ran out of time.
[TENSE MUSIC SWELLS]
[DAMIÁN] And this will be your mother.
In France, it's illegal to transport
ashes without authorization.
The cops won't poke their
noses around the tins at all.
Hm. In other words, there
is no police in the world
who would bother a family in mourning
after they'd just lost their mother.
She'll still be with us when
we make it to the Pyrenees.
And after that too.
In France, it's illegal to scatter
ashes without proper authorization.
In fact, it's even
illegal to transport them.
It's for environmental reasons.
Due to dangerous substances
being released after cremation.
The presence of metals from
teeth or artificial limbs.
Do you understand?
That's the law. You
cannot travel with that.
What does he mean, Dad?
- Are they taking Mom away?
- Listen, this makes absolutely no sense.
Isn't this supposed to be
the land of liberty? Huh?
- Of equality and fraternity?
- Sit down. Relax.
José Luis, shut it. And sit down.
I said, sit down!
[ROI HUFFS]
Open the urn.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
And open the tins as well, please.
[TENSE MUSIC SWELLS]

[CAMERON CONTINUES CRYING]
- [DAMIÁN, SOFTLY] It's all right.
- [CAMERON] Mom [SOBS]
Do what you have to.
Search whatever you want,
but leave us in peace.
You shot at a child.
Why was she running?
She put herself in danger.
Everyone, back in the vehicle.
Be on your way.

[SIGHS DEEPLY]
[CALMING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]
That was brilliant.
Worthy of an Oscar.
[CHUCKLES]
A real Penelope Cruz.
[ALL LAUGH]
Call Keila and Bruce.
[SNIFFLES]
Despite a large police
presence at the scene,
authorities have yet
to confirm the robbery
at the Viénot Auction House in Paris.
Elsewhere, in the suburbs of Nevers
[PHONE RINGING]
an elderly couple and son-in-law
were found dead, following a burglary.
According to witnesses, the
thieves, a young couple,
fired more than 20
times on their victims.
- Yes?
- Are you still on the bus?
Answer yes or no.
[KEILA] Yes.
[DAMIÁN] A search operation is on.
We learned from the cops
that they've set up three
rings of road blocks.
We just got through one.
I think we should stop.
So get off the bus as soon
as you can. At the next stop.
- Yes.
- [DAMIÁN] Head for the woods.
When it gets dark, pitch
your tent in a remote area.
At dawn, pack your bags and leave.
But stay off the roads.
You must keep to the woods.
- Understood?
- Yes.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
We'll stay at this camping
site for the next three days
and wait for things to cool down.
- It's better to stay here?
- [DAMIÁN] Yes.
Because running away is riskier
than hiding in plain sight.
They'll be checking the
roads, not some local lake.
So that's where we're heading.
[ENERGETIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[BIRDS SINGING OVERHEAD]
I understand you hate me, but
you could at least talk to me.
What's that?
I thought I saw a
tooth, waiting to smile.
C'mon, Keila, we can talk
and walk at the same time.
Listen, Bruce.
You and I are finishing our job.
We're neither friends nor colleagues.
So we don't have to pretend
we want to get coffee together.
Or send each other Christmas cards.
And we don't have to talk as we walk.
So once this job is done, ciao.
Well, I won't keep quiet.
I don't know what to say now.
She's fucking with my head.
[SIGHS] I better shut up.
[ENGINE RUNNING]
Okay, stop!
[ENGINE TURNS OFF]
You handle the interior decorating.
I'll handle the gardening.
[CLICKS]
[DRILL WHIRS]
[DAMIÁN SNIFFLES]
- Do you need any help?
- No, I'm fine.
I'll take a look around.
[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE]
[ENERGETIC MUSIC FADES]
[MENACING STRING MUSIC PLAYING]
[CAMILLE, ECHOING] I had decided to
leave my husband and live with you.
I know that François is a good person.
- [KNOCKING ON DOOR]
- [MUSIC SUBSIDES]
Good evening, sir.
If you have any idea of
how long you wish to stay,
kindly keep me posted.
I've decided to stay indefinitely.
- Thank you.
- Of course.
Would you like me to
send you housekeeping?
If you'd like to change your sheets?
You've left the "do not
disturb" for some time now.
I appreciate your concern,
but I'm busy working.
[PHONE RINGS]
If you'd excuse me, I need
to answer that call. Thanks.
- [SIGHS]
- [CALL CONNECTS]
[ROI] Sir, the police search
operation is ongoing all around Paris.
- Roadblocks everywhere.
- [TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Damián decided to stop at
a camping site for three days
and wait for things to cool down a bit.
- It's the right decision.
- Are you already on the way to Madrid?
No.
- You're in Paris?
- Yes. There's no need to worry about me.
There's something you need
to know. We have a loose end.
It's my fault. I held onto the
Eleanor of Avignon necklace.
I had it with me when
I went out last night.
I stole a car and ended
up in a street race.
So where is the jewel now, Roi?
I lost the car, sir.
The necklace was inside.
Right now, it must
be somewhere in Paris.
[TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES]
[ENGINE REVS]
[OFFICER] Out of the car. Now!
[TENSE MUSIC FADES]
[SOMBER PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]
I've put us all in danger.
If you want me to disappear, I
will, and I will give up my share.
I'm aware my mistake is unforgivable.
Yes, it is unforgivable.
And typical of a brainless moron
who doesn't understand the game.
Why did you do it, Roi?
I was mad.
I was angry about how you treated me.
It really hurt when you
treated me like a dog.
I wanted to be my old self again.
You know, I would say that
there are two good things
that've come from this
mess you've gotten us into.
The first is that the necklace
is in the hands of some
illegal street racers.
Not the kind of people who
would simply take the jewels
to the police to help
in their investigation.
And second, and most important, Roi,
is that you have shown pride.
And dignity. And balls.
You had the courage to stand up
against the man who humiliated you.
I'm sorry too, Roi.
Forgive me.
You see, I was confused.
I was hurt, and that's why I
insulted Damián and I insulted you.
- Who hurt you?
- Camille.
She had decided that
she would be with me.
And just when she was going to
tell that fool Polignac, well,
he wasn't there.
Because we had him arrested.
We were too eager to have him framed.
You're right.
And now I can't even kill him.
Can't make him disappear
from the face of the earth.
He's under lock and key, the bastard.
And what's worse now is that Camille
says she can no longer leave him
and run away with me.
She believes he's innocent?
She thinks that he's a good
person. That he's so wonderful.
We've put him on a pedestal, Roi.
Can you believe it?
What'll you do?
New strategy. Camille likes good people.
So be it.
Now that her bank
accounts have been frozen,
I'm gonna throw a load
of cash in front of her
so that she can hire the
best criminal lawyer in Paris.
I'll be like the Gandhi of France.
And once he's released,
she'll leave him, and
And then she'll choose me. [LAUGHS]
That's a lot of money.
To help you pay the
best lawyer in Paris.
I know your accounts are
frozen, so you'll need cash.
Any other man would be happy
to see my husband in jail.
Like having your opponent taken
out of the game, I suppose.
But you want to help.
Simón, are you an
angel sent from heaven?
Don't get me wrong. A man's
gotta do what a man's gotta do.
[ENERGETIC MUSIC PLAYING]
I have a code of honor.
And I would never consider
kicking a man when he's down.
I'd like you to come with
me to visit François.
Mm, Camille
I'll follow you wherever you go.
[ENERGETIC MUSIC FADES]
[BRUCE SIGHS]
[INSECTS BUZZING]
[BRUCE EXHALES]
Are you done?
Sleeping outside?
Yeah, I have a feeling you'll
be more comfortable with that.
That's true.
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
- Where are the rest of the jewels?
- What are you talking about?
I don't know anything about any jewels.
I never saw that necklace before.
Then what was it doing in your car?
[SIREN WAILING]
- It's not my car. I told you.
- [LAVELLE] I know that.
The owner reported the
car stolen last night.
Just when someone pulled a score
and made off with a
priceless set of jewels.
So you see, what I really wanna know is,
how did this necklace
end up in this car?
I didn't even know the car was stolen.
I won it from some guy at a race.
Okay. Let's assume that
what you said is true.
Imagine that you just pulled
the score of the century.
Would you then go drag
racing with the goods?
And forget a necklace in the back
seat worth four million euros?
It's not just about the race.
The girls are riding on top of the car.
The race is all about the adrenaline.
Maybe these two just wanted to
have some thrills after their score.
Find them, and you can ask them.
What did these two people look like?
I'd say around 23.
She was a brunette, long hair.
And the guy, he had a
glove on his left hand.
A driving glove. Black.
Did you notice any scars or
tattoos or anything different?
He had a tattoo on his right hand.
It looked like, uh deer antlers.
Something like that.
- French?
- No. They were foreigners.
- Are you sure?
- I used to live in Spain.
My guess, they're Spanish.
I swear on my mother. [KISSES]
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[INTERCOM BEEPS]
Get me Europol Spain.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
- What's up with him?
- [CAMERON] He's heartbroken.
A long story. [SIGHS]
- Roi?
- Mm-hmm?
I just wanted to say
thank you for covering for me again.
I heard you talking with Berlin
on the phone about the necklace.
That's another one you owe me.
[SCOFFS]
And the next time, you'll tell
me why you joined our crew.
And how you know Berlin.
- It's a deal.
- [ROI CHUCKLES]
[CAMERON LAUGHS]
[ROI] Promise?
[CAMERON SIGHS]

Come in. We're being stupid.
- No way. I don't wanna go in. I'm fine.
- Bruce, come in!
If you catch pneumonia, we'll
never get the jewels out of France.

- [CARMEN] Damián?
- Hello, Carmen.
Are you all right? It's
almost two in the morning.
[SLURRING] I'm sorry it's so late,
but I have to ask you something.
[GULPS, SNIFFLES]
After our last conversation,
I was a little bit confused.
- I need to clear
something up. - Tell me.
Well you see, I ran into this woman.
And, well, you know, we've
been talking all night, and
- We had a bottle of limoncello.
- Ah.
She made it uh Sicilian recipe.
So, you know, I was wondering
if maybe you'd
reconsidered our separation?
The last time on the phone, I know
we said a lot of things, and
Well, I was thinking that you can't
make a decision just like that.
Damián, it wasn't "just like that."
Ah. Okay, then.
Well, I just wanted
to tell you that, well,
I feel really attracted to this woman.
There's some really powerful
chemistry between us.
[THROUGH VENT] But we haven't gone
too far yet, so there's still time.
So just in case you change your mind,
well, I wouldn't wanna cheat on you
or hurt you. Or her either.
And that's why, even though
it's really late, you know,
I wanted to find out if
you're okay with this.
[THROUGH VENT] It's a
matter of respect, you see?
If we're taking some time off,
uh, how long is this hiatus?
And what limits do we put on it?
Does that make sense?
Damián, listen, I don't
think you've met this lady.
But, if there is someone,
then you have my green
light for the lemon lady
and anyone else you might encounter.
And if you really do have
this opportunity, take it.
Because I certainly
won't miss out on any.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
So that's it? You're gonna
fuck everyone that you meet?
Is that what you're saying?
Well, that's nothing new!
Do you think I don't know
about Jackal and his fire emoji?
Huh? You had no problem
wearing bikinis for him.
Wearing sarongs on the
beach with your mother.
That takes some balls to involve
your mother in your infidelity!
Then you drop me off at the airport
to make sure that I'm leaving
so you can make out with him with
my saliva still warm on your lips!
[LINE BEEPS]
Don't hang up on me!
Don't you fuckin' hang up!
No!
You fuckin' bitch!
So what now, huh?
What now?
The fucking consequences!
That's what now!

[CARMEN] No, I won't forget
anything. You're right.
I cheated.
[DAMIÁN CRYING]
But I would never have done it
if I hadn't fallen madly in love.
[SIGHS] I wasn't looking for it,
but I couldn't stop it either.
I didn't decide to do it.
It just swept me away.
[DRAMATIC STRING MUSIC SWELLS]
Damián?
[TAKES A DEEP BREATH]
Damián?
Now I understand, Carmen.
It all makes sense.
I know what you mean. [CHUCKLES]
I know how unstoppable love can be.
How can you negotiate with a
tsunami? And you know what?
I'm glad it happened like that.
Because then, at least,
it means I'm worth something.
That I'm worth more than
than a simple, trivial affair.
[CARMEN] How could you think that?
Darling, I would never have
left you for an affair.

You're scaring me.
It's okay. Relax. We have

You're having an allergic
reaction to the snake bite, okay?
It's time to go. Get on.
Okay, but can I die from the snake bite?
