Section Zero (2016) s01e06 Episode Script

1
What should we do,
now that he’s dead?
We stop talking
and start doing.
Orders were to take him
and bring him in alive.
You follow the rules, or get out.
The rules
Ten years ago,
the day you took us
you-know-where,
you lost us all a brother,
and whatever dignity I had left.
Yet when I look at you,
you’re still here.
I’ve found something to cling to.
Hatred.
An old copper mine
a few miles from here
with a massive pit
full of sulfuric acid and toxic metals.
Send a team to throw his body in there.
Nothing should be left
of that pathetic low-life.
As for the rest
Either you’re a responsible officer
who leads his troops,
or we wipe the table
and change the place settings.
Maybe I had blind faith
in qualities you no longer have.
When are you going to put me
back in my box?
Only Yukov could lead us to Munro
Yukov had nothing more to tell us.
Well, we’ll never know.
If you’ve got a plan B,
I’m willing to listen.
SIRIUS’S REQUIEM
The same wound each time:
a five-centimeter hole
with no exit wound.
It looks more like a surgical operation
than an execution.
Dr. Collins is examining
one of the bodies.
We’ll learn some more from her report.
- What about the children?
- Same thing, except
There are no girls,
only boys between 10 and 15.
Same in the first truck: men of all ages,
but no women under 40.
Yukov might have been able
to shed some light.
Anyway, the pictures prove
the Black Squad is behind this shit.
I reckon it’s proof enough
to bring Munro down.
Pictures are only proof
if we can justify them.
Munro isn’t
in any of them.
We need witnesses
and a better investigation to prove it.
We’ll have to identify
all the bodies we found in there.
- Can we?
- It’ll take time, but we should manage.
Find out about “Block 13”, too.
What are we doing about Munro?
Are we just going to leave him to it?
First, we’ll destabilize him
by showing these pictures
to the public and Prometheus’ leaders.
I want him to know
we’re onto him.
Yeah? How will
you do that, then?
We hack the intranet, and broadcast
the pictures onto all the screens in town.
The system’s code-protected
and no one’s ever
gotten in there, so
Easier to masturbate in boxing gloves.
One of you
has to be up to it.
I know someone.
But it’ll take more than a boot up the ass
to get him here.
You’re looking good for a corpse!
Death didn’t want me. What could I do?
You’re no good at it.
Let me do it next time.
No return ticket, I swear.
What was that funeral about?
Another of Reinhardt’s jokes?
I didn’t ask for that.
I’m here and I need you.
Since when?
You don’t need anybody.
Or you left some of your memory
in your grave,
such as what happens
if people come with you.
I can help you find your sister.
We’ll know soon where she’s being held.
Ever heard of Block 13?
Was the Route 67 convoy you?
What’s “S.Z.”?
The guy who fucks you
in your shower every day?
Yes or no?
I’m just asking you to help me
for an honorable cause.
How much does it pay?
Less than a cop’s wages,
more than what you get here
playing the lawman.
I’ll do it.
For my sister.
Then I’m gone
and I’ll never see you again.
They’re waiting.
Hello, Diane.
I just wanted to make sure
you have everything you need.
Have you seen Lou today?
- Yes.
- How is she?
Better. She’s making progress.
Her doctors are optimistic.
In a few weeks, she’ll be clear.
You’ll see.
I suppose you didn’t just come
to ask after my daughter.
No, I also wanted to apologize
for the other evening.
Something came over me.
You wanted to screw me.
Do you hate me?
There are so many other things
I should hate you for
Your support for Munro,
your involvement
in this despicable project
People can do things
they don’t necessarily approve of.
So what is your motivation
for carrying out this project?
Its scope.
Do you realize
what will happen if we succeed?
What about you?
I don’t have any choice,
as you very well know.
You could pretend,
play for time.
And risk my daughter’s life?
It has its benefits.
See past Munro’s security spiel.
Think of survival, too.
We’re lacking raw materials,
Low City is overpopulated.
This will make us
recover abandoned territory.
If we succeed,
it will be thanks to our Mekas.
What abandoned territory
do you mean?
The zones declared contaminated.
They were irradiated.
Life expectancy is three days, maximum.
How dare you
think of sending soldiers there?
Thanks for agreeing to join our ranks.
I know working with your former partners
doesn’t fill you with joy,
but you’re on the right side
and we’ll thank you for it.
Keep your fancy speeches
for police recruits, I’m not interested.
What do I have to do?
I do it, you pay,
we both forget about it.
You’ve infiltrated
a terrorist organization before.
That all began with
planning a series of mass attacks
in the main nerve centers
of all the main European capitals.
Thanks to your work,
we were able to foil their plan
for one of the worst disasters
in the history of terrorism.
We’re going to need
your IT skills once more,
to infiltrate
Prometheus’ intranet system.
Is that all?
We’ve managed to find the one terminal
Prometheus uses to broadcast
its information onto our screens.
All you have to do is log on
while we overpower the Black Squad.
We reckon
you’ll need less than five minutes.
No problem holding them.
Like 10 years ago.
Glad you’re still alive.
Where the fuck were you, Charly?
Doing my job.
Your job is
making sure your workers are safe.
Or at least protecting them.
Found Bianchi yet?
I was going to
ask you that.
You should go out there.
We could get
a federal investigation opened
and ask the prosecutor
to speak to Munro.
The prosecutor is on Prometheus’ side.
He’ll never bite the hand
that feeds him.
So, what should we do?
Wait to get Bianchi’s head back in a box?
By the way
That’s the man
who was beheaded in the shower.
Victor Grinko,
a former lieutenant of Yukov’s.
Do we know why he went to that girl’s?
And you? What were you going to do there?
You had no right to go in
without a federal warrant.
I guess you had a reason
for taking the risk.
Here.
Identify anybody you can.
What is it?
Never mind.
Name, surname, address, profile.
You can get rid of Bianchi’s stuff too.
- His stand-in will start soon.
- What stand-in?
Until now,
we only ever replaced dead people.
Bianchi is still alive,
I’m sure of it.
Alive, maybe,
but in what state?
The uniform you wear
doesn’t mean
you don’t have to knock on a
door for it to be opened, I believe.
My uniform does, however, mean
I don’t have to put up with sarcasm
from an old policeman
stinking of alcohol,
who may be “retired” early.
Get out of my office.
I’ll leave when you give me
a copy of the report
you wrote two years ago,
After a police Special Interventions
weapons warehouse was held up.
Why should I give it to you?
It was filed
under a fruitless investigation.
That’s just it.
After an unpleasant incident
for one of my units,
I would like to have it,
in order to direct new searches.
If I refuse?
If you refuse,
you will be court-martialed
for infringing police procedure
that is part of an investigation
on a convoy attack
and the hanging
of four soldiers.
You can access all the federal files
and all the data in them.
Why come this far?
You are the sole owner
of the access code for that file.
I hope, for your sake,
you haven’t forgotten it.
FILE DESTROYED
Sorry.
You have just made a serious mistake,
Commandant.
Life is unfair.
Some get home late
to a wretched two-bed flat
that their salary barely pays for,
and others, little whores like you,
spend their days lying about
in luxury apartments,
all paid for.
All they have to do
is suck their man’s dick
and spend their time smoking,
sniffing, and emptying mini-bars.
It’s unfair, don’t you think?
Security
I am the security man.
From now on, your security is me.
So much beauty serving evil
How would your friend Yukov like
you screwing a female cop?
Don’t worry, he’s probably dead.
Or praying to the Devil
to end it all.
He was taken this morning.
A mysterious soldier
killed several of our men
and left a two-letter signature: S-Z.
S-Z.
Does that mean anything to you?
Any enemies,
any groups he may have worked with
which bear or could claim
those initials?
So, now, the question is
What will we do with you?
Do you agree that
since your friend Yukov
is out of the way,
you are no longer of any use to us?
I’m counting on it!
I imagine you won’t tell us
the identity of the mysterious person
who has been trying to contact you today.
I also don’t understand
why you won’t just speak up now,
when you’ll tell us all in the end.
Some enemies
can’t – and mustn’t – be attacked, Commandant.
I think you wiped the file
because it contained information
that might lead us to the perpetrators
of the Route 67 convoy attack.
And, given the nerve you showed
in your offices,
it is not inconceivable
that you may have been involved,
more or less closely,
in that act of terrorism.
So these are my questions
for the last time:
Why did you
deliberately destroy that file
and what essential information
did it contain?
How about you tell me
what was in the trucks?
What will you do?
Torture me to death?
You can’t kill a federal police officer
the way you do others in the Steps.
Dozens of witnesses
saw you take me away.
If I disappear, you can’t justify it.
The Department holds you accountable.
Expect a firing squad, for hindering
a top priority military investigation
looking into the security
of our Directors
You can’t prove
my involvement.
Just a file destroyed inadvertently.
On the other hand,
I may possess
certain information about you
that would interest several people.
There’s your truth, and mine.
My truth is imposed by force,
and I’m paid for it.
I would rather not have done this.
But your arrogant and uncooperative attitude
leaves me no choice.
Major Bianchi couldn’t bear
the post-traumatic shock
from the very difficult conditions
of his operation.
He will remain like this.
In that state.
Catatonic.
Far from life’s
unbearable violence and chaos.
What did you do?
He will be shot
if you don’t answer my questions.
Then the children
we caught in the Steps
to take part in a testing program
they didn’t fit into.
They’re no use to us.
So, now,
that file.
You wouldn’t dare.
First wrong answer.
He just asked me to identify the bodies.
He didn’t explain
where the pictures came from.
I reckon that’s why he was taken off.
I recognize one of the truck girls.
A whore who covered me
when I infiltrated the Deviants.
Remember her name?
Katy Anderson.
She helped save my life, too.
Any others?
Maybe.
Where did they take him?
Charly, where was he taken?
Probably where they took Bianchi.
We’re trying, but no one gives a shit.
Does the Federal Department know?
They told me they’d ask the Directors.
So, Bob and Charly are as good as dead,
with no investigation.
I recognize some others, all prostitutes.
Let’s start with them.
You should rest, Elie.
Got a gun for me?
In the car.
This is Munro.
What is it?
Hello?
Our friend spoke.
Perfect.
Don’t move!
All clear.
I’m in the system.
Sniper group 1,
they’re on all sides.
Jesus. Where are they all coming from?
Get a move on!
Foetus to Sirius, what’s going on?
They won’t hold out for long.
I’m doing what I can.
Partner down!
Partner down!
We’re off.
The bastards are everywhere!
Move back!
Move back!
Sirius? Saber?
Answer!
We have to get out! Get out!
Janko, get out,
I’m covering you.
Get a fuckin’ move on!
Move it!
Move it!
The bastards are fuckin’ everywhere!
This is a message from Section Zero.
Your families are being murdered.
Don’t trust the Black Squad.
The Black Squad murders.
Munro and his army will kill you.
They want to wipe you out.
We’re here to save you.
This is a message from Section Zero.
Your families are being murdered.
Don’t trust the Black Squad.
The Black Squad murders.
Munro and his army will kill you.
They’re here to wipe you out.
We’re here to save you.
Christ, Elie!
Where are the others?
- Gone.
- Gone where?
At a fallback base in the Black Zone,
30 kilometers from here.
We moved what we could.
I’ll destroy the rest.
Fuck that.
What was that fuck-up all about?
Charly was captured by the Black Squad.
He grassed us up.
You were already there,
it was too late to warn you.
Lucy’s hurt, what do we do?
Medical aid has been set up
at the new camp.
This will lay out
the route for you to get there.
And you?
Those bastards will soon show up.
Shall we go?
Then do what you can.
Explain why you let her go?
She’s my daughter.
They took her when she was 2.
I thought I’d never see her again.
They took her? How?
They do tests at birth
to find gifted children.
She was perfect for what they wanted.
I thought I’d get out of it,
but one day they came.
And her father?
Died before she was born.
How did you recognize her?
I gave her that scar on her cheek.
If we don’t soon find a solution,
none of us will survive this horror.
So, we must prove Munro’s
direct involvement in that vile trade.
Throw him to the lions.
The torturer to his victims.
How can you be sure
we won’t be soiled, too?
The pack just needs one wounded animal.
Once they’re satisfied,
you can hunt on your patch again.
We will be judged
on the Meka program, Karl.
We’ve promised them
an invincible Meka army
to recover
abandoned territories,
and for now, all we have
is psychopathic killers.
Uncontrollable.
Hooked on Chimera.
Munro knows it.
That’s his hold on us.
Before sacrificing him,
we’d best decide how to replace him.
Diane Becker’s research results
are encouraging.
Soon, we will no longer need drugs
to control the Mekas,
and when that happens,
we won’t need Munro either.
How did you get in?
I admire how calm and casual
you are, Colonel,
with Low City and the Steps
about to rebel.
Like me, you’ve seen the pictures
on all our screens.
How could you
organize such an outrage
without realizing
I would know about it?
Those are propaganda images,
designed to upset public opinion
and misused by vulgar terrorists.
We have arrested
one of their presumed leaders:
a corrupt police officer,
Charles Reinhardt
My men are interrogating him
as we speak.
You don’t understand, Colonel.
Those pictures exist.
Everyone can see what you are,
and I refuse to condone it.
I will have to open
an investigation
to calm public opinion
and reassure the members of our Directors.
You will be the one to lead it.
You will have to prove it’s a masquerade
and bring back the organizers’ heads
to avoid disorder, which would
affect the completion of our project.
Have an excellent day.
- Yes?
- Where are you?
With our friend,
who clearly doesn’t understand
why we’re here, and has been
rather uncooperative since we got here.
Kill him.
And meet me in Block 13.
I’ll explain.
Very well.
Would you please step outside with me?
You know what they say?
A man facing death
can see if he deserves to live.
We’ll find them in the end.
All of them.
Your death is useless.
I’ll give you a name.
Their leader’s.
You won’t believe me.
Go on.
Sirius Becker.
He died in front of me.
You’re wasting my time.
Take me to his grave, and you’ll see.
Then I’ll give you the others.
All this is pointless.
We managed to show the pictures,
doesn’t that count?
What next?
People will forget.
It’s the only thing
they’re allowed to do
Forget.
She lost a lot of blood. She must rest.
Anyway, thanks for getting me out of it.
What’s the next step?
We find where they’ve got Charly
and get him back.
Oh, yeah?
Why go and get that bastard?
He made us lose six men.
Think it’s worth risking our lives
for a dead man?
- We don’t know he’s dead.
- We don’t know he’s alive.
So, what’s your plan?
You and your fat gob
Get it right, Doc, my ass is sensitive.
So all your cellmates have said
The chip will be active for 48 hours.
Then it’ll dissolve
in your blood
and you’ll be on your own.
Sure it’s undetectable?
That’s what the tests prove, yes.
If the tests are as effective
as our operations so far,
we can get out our spades
and start digging.
The plan’ll never work.
Too risky.
It’s the only way to save Charly.
You know what it cost me last time.
I may have caused
my only remaining friend’s death,
my whole estate’s requisitioned,
and there’s a price on my head.
I’ve lost everything,
except the strength to see it through.
For that, I need you.
