Played (2013) s01e11 Episode Script

(Scared whimpering) (Scared whimpering) Guard: Hey! Stop! Stop! Don't go in there! Hey, stop! (Gun Shot) Played 01x11 Untouchables Originally Aired December 12, 2013 Victim's name was Alexi Princip.
He was shot and killed last night in the Bosnian Consulate.
You've got the shooter? Supposedly; name's Jana Kazan.
She claims he was an intruder.
She panicked and pulled the trigger.
Signed full confession.
But? Coroner's report.
Bullet's a Markov Round.
She carries a 9 mil, standard issue.
Really? My guess is her statement's a total fiction.
You think she's lying? I think someone's forcing her to take the fall.
My problem is I can't investigate.
I can't get onto Consulate grounds, no forensics, I can't even talk to anyone.
Diplomatic immunity.
They take care of their own affairs.
They're going to punish her back home in Bosnia.
So this kid is looking at a court martial.
25 years in military prison, for something she didn't do.
What we need is some solid evidence.
Something to pressure the Feds into doing something.
Get past the immunity.
And you want us to do our thing.
Make some friends, take a look inside the Consulate.
You up for that? Is that her lawyer? Lida Simenko.
Consular Aide.
Thank you.
I'm so sorry to keep you waiting.
There's just one or two things I need to confirm, for the paperwork.
We came here voluntarily.
You have our statement.
You have no right to keep us.
It won't take long, I promise.
Jana, do you understand me? Can I ask you some questions? She speaks very little English.
I can help.
Great.
So you didn't know the victim? Alexi Princip? You've never met him? She hadn't, no.
Had you ever seen him before at the Consulate? She had not.
So why was he there? Is this an interrogation? It says in her statement that she shot him on the third floor.
What was he doing there? What's up there? The bullet that killed that boy did not come from Jana's gun.
Ms.
Semanko, is there something you're not telling us? We're finished here.
She didn't do it.
She didn't kill that boy.
Excuse me.
Who are you protecting, Lida? I'm sorry.
Rebecca: The girl is innocent.
She didn't shoot anyone, I'm sure of it.
John: So who did? We've done some research.
Mikhail Savic.
He's the Bosnian Consul.
Former military.
Rich guy, educated in the US.
Been here 7 months.
In that time he's had two DUI's, beat up a local kid at a nightclub.
Really? And he skated on all of it? Daniel: Diplomatic immunity.
Rebecca: That's right.
John: So he likes to drink, he's got a temper, thinks he's above the law.
Maria: What do we know about the victim? Alexi Princip.
Bosnian passport.
He'd been in the country three years on a student visa.
Jesse: Why was he at the consulate? Don't know.
No criminal record, good student.
Maria: Have you got the attorney? This is where we start, Lida Semenko, Senior Aide to the Consul.
She's a lawyer and a trained nurse.
She used to work for various NGOs.
She's your target.
You're going to make a personal connection.
Appeal to her conscience.
She knows more than she's saying, guaranteed.
Use the NGO thing, see if I can find a crack.
John: So the Consul deals mostly in trade right? So I'll go in as as shady businessman, with a really bad temper, just like him.
You import liquor.
We'll give you a full backstory, he can check you out all he wants.
Sounds good.
And you know what we could do? We could do the car thing.
It never fails.
Nice.
Khali: OK, Savic is approaching from the south; thirty seconds.
Copy that.
Here we go.
John: Alright, Daniel, we're underway.
Daniel: I see you, I'm good.
Let's do this.
John: Okay, Danny.
Go now! What are you doing? You don't pull out like that! Are you insane?! This is oncoming traffic You can't pull out like that You're blaming me? You're driving around like a maniac! Pop open the trunk! I need your insurance.
What are you doing? What am I doing! Hey, hey Take it easy! (Sound Of Breaking Glass) You're crazy, man! Are you crazy!?! What are you doing? Calling your mother? What's wrong with you? I think you've made your point.
What? He's calling the police right now.
They'll be here in a couple of minutes.
You saw the whole thing, you're a witness.
Right? You're right, he's a terrible driver.
But you're attacking him right now.
They're going to arrest you, my friend.
You should just breathe.
I've got a bit of a temper, I'm working on it.
So much for my nine iron.
What are you, some movie star or something? I wish.
It's me John, get Miller.
I don't care, interrupt them right now.
I'm suppose to be at a meeting downtown right now, but I can't because of this idiot.
So now the whole deal is dead.
Two million dollars of imported liquor.
I don't care, you get him out of his office right now.
Thick as a plank, this guy.
You can't postpone the meeting? Not a chance, took me two months to set this deal up.
Thanks for everything.
This isn't even your problem.
It's nice meeting you, have a nice day.
Hello? Maybe I can help.
How? My car, not even a scratch and I'm headed downtown.
Come.
I really appreciate it, thank you very much.
The office will handle this.
John: Call them.
Daniel: Hey, where do you think you're going? John: Thank you.
Savic: Please.
That's how it's done, Rookie.
That was beautiful.
There's no point sitting there.
I told you, it's impossible.
You have to make an appointment.
Ms.
Semenko? I'm Maria Lopez I'm just on my way out.
I know and I'm sorry to just barge in like this, I'll talk fast, okay? I'm with an NGO called MeekAvail, I have a shipment of AZT that I'm trying to get into Bosnia, and it suddenly has to go tomorrow, but the paperwork - The Consul would have to sign any - Any orders, I know and I've been calling him non-stop, but he's not returning my calls.
If you could get these to him I'm just on my way to the airport I read your profile, on the website, I know you're a good person, you want to help.
This is a chance to do some good, right? Think how good that would feel, please Ms.
Semenko.
There are a lot of patients waiting for this shipment.
I wish I could help; I'm sorry.
(Phone Rings) Maria: She's going to the airport, you hear that? My guess, she's taking someone there.
The soldier.
The girl.
Maria: It has to be.
They're sending her home, is that what it means? It means we're out of time.
John: I deal with fine wines, spirits, mostly from Europe.
The Chinese are making an incredible whiskey right now, that's just off the planet; just to let you know.
I want you to try something, from my country.
It's called Slivovitsa.
Slivovitsa, I know it.
It's the nectar of the Gods.
How about your friend? Thank you, she doesn't drink.
Okay.
Zivjeli.
Zivjeli.
Very good.
You see? That is nice, genius in a bottle right there.
So you should think about selling this; you could make a fortune.
Well it's not that easy, you have to get it into the country first.
Your minister, what's his name, Rado? Radic.
He's a bit of a dick, just to let you know.
I know Radic well.
He owes me.
I could fix your problem with one phone call.
Oh yeah? It's all about who you know, hmm? So you should come by the Consulate, we'll talk.
John: Maybe I will.
This is where that girl lives.
The soldier, Jana.
Khali: Lida is taking her to the airport.
We can't let that happen.
Lida! Detective Sergeant Rebecca Ellis.
We met at the station.
What are you doing here? Did you follow me? I need to speak to you.
The soldier, Jana.
You know she's innocent.
I can't talk to you.
Why are you sending her home? You need to tell the truth, Lida.
Lida.
(Sound Of Glass) Rebecca: Who's going to call Jana's family? Is that your job? What are you going to tell them? She knew you were down there, in the car.
Waiting to take her to the airport? John: That she was in despair, forced to confess to a crime that she didn't commit.
There was no way out and so she jumped.
Are you going to tell them the truth? I have diplomatic status, you can't hold me here.
You're right.
You can go, do whatever you like, be my guest.
We know you want to help, Lida.
Who are you covering up for? Look at me.
Who really killed that boy? Was it the Consul? Did he threaten Jana, force her to lie? Is that what happened? I want to get him, Lida.
It won't be easy, but we can strip him of his immunity and charge him.
But to do that, I need some evidence.
I need your help.
Tell us the truth.
What happened that night at the Consulate? Who shot that boy? I got her the job.
I know her family.
She was so excited, she loved it here.
I was working late.
And I heard the commotion, so I went upstairs.
Hey! (Gun Shot) He looked right at me.
Didn't even try to hide it.
So Savic killed him? It was Savic right? Lida, what was the boy doing in the hall? I don't know.
I have no idea.
You're doing the right thing, Lida.
We'll need you to speak with one of our Federal Agents.
You're an eyewitness.
If you're willing to testify This was a mistake.
I have to go.
I can't testify, I can't.
If I do anything What? What would happen? Don't you understand? You can't touch him.
He's above the law.
She was terrified.
He must have something on her.
The soldier, too.
She felt like she had no choice, that's why she jumped.
I just heard back from INTERPOL.
They've got a file on Savic.
He's got some nasty friends.
Both of these men are connected to the arms trade, and Savic has been seen with them multiple times.
How does a guy like that get appointed Consul? He's got connections.
He's got a well-placed friend in the Bosnian Foreign Office, he calls in a couple of favours.
Let me see.
It's the perfect cover.
Gives him diplomatic status.
He's able to bring just about anything into the country.
It's true, they slap seals on cargo, diplomatic pouches, Customs won't touch it.
So he buys a Chinese AK47 for 500 bucks, sells it here on the street for five thousand.
And the Consulate is the perfect place to store it.
Search-and-seizure-proof.
So if we can't get Savic on the murder, we get him on the guns.
If we can prove that, then his diplomatic protection goes out the window.
We need evidence.
We need to get inside the building.
You've got an open invitation, right? Yeah.
I'll drop by tonight.
You have a thank you gift.
You're on your way out for the evening with your girlfriend, Khali.
You stop in at the Consulate, and while you get him talking, Khali slips out, takes a look around.
Savic: Come in, come in.
John: We were just passing by.
Savic: Please.
John: I've got something you're going to like.
This is from Southern Moldova.
There's a crazy guy, lives up in the mountains.
He puts out two hundred bottles a year, that is it.
It's beautiful.
Look see how clear it is.
It's brilliant.
It tastes like honey and tobacco at the same time.
Here's what we're going to do.
We're going to drink the entire bottle, the three of us.
Aww no, no, we can't; We have somewhere else to be.
It can wait.
I insist, all the way to the bottom.
Tastes like honey.
(Laughs) Okay.
Make the call.
(Phones Rings) I'm so sorry.
It's my mother.
Mommy.
I was going to call you, (Speaking Indian) How did it go, did you get it? (Speaking Indian) What? (Speaking Indian) Khali.
(Speaking Indian) Khali.
Khali, can you do that outside, please? (Speaking Indian) Oh my God.
(Speaking Indian) There's no guard, he left the desk.
He's doing his rounds.
Keep your eye out.
He's on a 20 minute rotation.
Just try to get up to the third floor where the shooting happened.
I swear she would die without that thing, it's like it's attached to her body or something.
That's the price you pay when you want youth.
Yes.
She's a beautiful girl.
Yes, she is.
Savic: Now, let's have that drink.
This place is seriously creepy.
I'm on the third floor now.
I found the bullet holes.
It's across from the residence.
Can you get a read on the angle? Yeah.
The shooter was in the room; had to be.
Khali: Door's locked.
Must be his bedroom, it was the middle of the night.
Rebecca: That's good, keep looking.
We're the same person, you and me.
You think so? We take what we love and we profit from it.
From our addiction.
From our sickness.
I hear something.
Sounds like voices.
I can't tell from where.
So tell me about your business.
You can't tell me that you're surviving on a Consul's wage alone.
My business is nothing but problems.
Nothing but grief.
John: Sounds like my business.
Talk to me, Khali.
I'm at a door.
There's a lock on the outside.
A bolt.
On the outside? I think it's just a radio in there.
Be careful.
Rebecca? I found someone.
I found a girl.
Khali: She looks like she's drugged out.
Savic: I should've stayed in the military.
People do what they're told in the military.
And why didn't you? (Sound Of Door Opening) I'm going home.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Savic: Come inside, have a drink.
It's Lida.
She must be working late.
It's okay.
She won't tell him John's a cop.
She can't let him know she talked to us.
Rebecca: Khali, stay there.
Stay with the girl.
Savic: This is John.
Hi.
Pleasure to met you.
Savic: My Lida is gold.
She's a treasure.
Honestly, I don't know what I would do without her.
(Phone Beeps) Oh no, no, no.
I did you a favour today.
Now, you can drink with me.
Khali's outside waiting for me.
Savic, trust me, I'd love to have a drink with you.
But I've got people waiting, so I can't.
Mikhail, I'll drink with you.
Let him go.
I'll walk you out.
No, no, stay, sit.
Sit! John, can see himself out.
John: Pleasure.
Savic: Just the two of us.
Let's finish the bottle.
We need to get them out of there, fast.
The security guard should be in the basement on his rounds.
Look for a fire escape, third floor.
The door was locked from the outside.
Hey.
It's okay, it's okay.
Police.
You remember me? From the limousine? What's your name, sweetie? Katerina.
Katerina, we're going to get you out of here, okay? But you gotta do exactly what I tell you, okay? Here.
Try for the south end, there's a fire escape.
Rebecca: Keep it quiet, you'll be passing right by Savic's room.
Come on.
Daniel: Hurry up, get in, get in.
Rebecca: Katrina Katrina, how long were you there? At the Consulate? Two months, maybe; I don't know.
You came from Bosnia? There was a man who arranged it.
He ran an agency, for employment.
He said that I would work as a nanny.
And he arranged your papers? We paid him.
Six thousand dollars, U.
S.
John: "We"? There were others? Three of us.
When we got here, this country, they met us at the airport.
Who met you at the airport? Was it Savic? No, I saw him later, at the condo.
There was another man there, too.
The other girls went with him.
I think he bought them.
Savic sold the girls? I never saw them again.
Mikhail, he liked me.
And so I went with him.
I had to live with him.
Be with him.
I had no choice, he gave me drugs.
He threatened me.
And you had no contact, with anyone? One time, I took his phone.
He was drunk, he fell asleep.
And I sent a message to my friend, to Alexi.
I told him where I was.
Alexi.
He broke into the Consulate, he was your friend? My fiance.
I was coming to join him, in this country.
And then I got him killed.
John: Hey.
It's not your fault.
We're going to get him, Katerina.
For what he did.
I want him dead.
And the woman, too.
There was a woman? She works for him.
She was always there.
Is it this woman? She's the one who met us at the airport.
She told us everything would be okay.
The Consul is in a fury.
He woke up this morning, and she was gone.
He's blaming me.
Do you understand what's about to happen, Lida? I'm about to charge you.
You're about to go to jail.
Your government won't protect you, you're not important enough.
I had no choice.
Why? Because he threatened you? You don't understand.
Why didn't you leave? Quit your job, go home.
You don't understand So then help me.
Help me understand.
He has a file.
He has pictures.
He knows where my family lives.
My brother, my sister, my parents.
He sent men to beat up my father.
They broke his bones, as a warning, he was in hospital.
Mikhail said he would kill him.
That's why I didn't tell you.
I am not the kind of person who does these things.
As for the girl last night, I said it was the guard's fault, I had to.
Mikhail dismissed him.
I can still get him, Lida.
You're going to help me.
It's the only way your family will ever be safe.
Hey.
Look at me.
You can never make it right, what you've done.
You can do this.
When's the next flight? The next group of women? It's in the air right now.
It arrives today.
This afternoon.
The Island Airport, it's via New York.
Mikhail is panicking.
First the shooting, and then Katerina.
He's shutting everything down.
This will be the last one.
How many women? Two.
Is it possible there could be a change? A different girl, at the last minute, you just found out yourself? Yes.
It's possible.
So we can't use Maria or Khali because they've already been established at the Consulate.
So we'll find someone, a UC, from Vice maybe.
I'll talk to Maria, she's got friends there.
We swap her at the airport, she'll be one of the two girls.
If so, let's go over the steps.
Lida collects them at the airport, walks them through Customs.
Puts them in a van.
Which brings them to a condo.
, where Savic is with a buyer.
And they sell them to some guy.
We set up there, at the condo.
Soon as they do the deal, we take him.
We get it all on tape.
If we can catch this guy red handed, using his diplomatic status to traffic women? It's over.
No government in the world turns a blind eye to that.
(Phone Rings) It's the Feds, I figured it was time.
Okay.
This girl, what's her name? Katerina.
And she was brought into the country Illegally.
She was trafficked.
Then she was imprisoned and raped.
She was one of three girls.
The other girls were sold to a third party.
Did she witness a deal? Payment? No.
And her imprisonment happened on Consulate grounds.
We can't use any of it; That's the problem.
Sir, according to our source in the Consulate, this has been going on for six months.
Over a dozen women.
I can get you evidence.
But I need to know that if I do, you will act.
You will strip the Consul of immunity, and charge him.
The murder, the young man.
The Bosnians are dealing with that.
Yes, sir.
You're not authorized to pursue it.
I made a commitment to that effect.
I understand.
Any other investigation, is a different matter.
Is that a yes? I want to be clear.
If this goes badly? We would have to save face.
Blame would have to fall somewhere.
You would be sacrificed; You and your team.
It's politics, Detective Sergeant.
It's never pretty.
Maria: This guy's a major creep.
He locked a girl in a room, he's violent, he's an alcoholic.
No problem.
I deal with guys like this all the time, Maria.
You know that.
So do you.
Yeah, but this guy thinks he's untouchable.
Rebecca.
This is Officer Sara Martin.
I worked with her in Vice.
You're up to speed? Yeah.
We're going to give you a camera, to record the buy.
You'll be in there by yourself, you won't be armed.
- You're okay with that? - Absolutely.
I need to get her wired.
We don't have much time.
Khali, come with me.
Sara: Okay, let's get this guy.
Rebecca: Hang on a second.
You follow the plan.
You don't take stupid risks.
Understand? Don't try and impress me.
Yes, ma'am.
Maria: Don't worry, she's good.
I've worked with her, she's fearless.
I hope so.
Sara: I'm Ukrainian.
I paid a guy there, in Kiev, a broker.
- Name? - Berezin.
They took me to Sarajevo in a car, put me on a plane There's going to be another girl, you gotta keep her calm.
Okay.
You're going to be our eyes and ears in there.
Okay You're good.
Tell Rebecca not to worry, I'll be fine.
She wants this guy.
We all do.
Sara, listen to me.
You're wrong.
This guy is nothing like you've ever dealt with before.
Daniel: I've got a visual on both women.
Looks good.
They're on they're way in now.
Good for sound.
John, do you have audio? We're patching it through.
Yeah, we're good.
Rebecca: Keep your eye out for the van.
Rebecca: Jesse, are you in position at the condo? Jesse: Yes.
Rebecca: Are you picking up Sara's signal? Jesse: I'm good.
Signal's clear.
Rebecca: All right.
Everyone's good to go.
Let's do this.
Daniel: Looks good.
Lida's in place.
Welcome.
Daniel: Sara's ready.
Just one second.
Where's the video? Hang on.
Camera's on her bag.
Khali: We have eyes.
Daniel: OK, Sara.
Do the switch.
Daniel: Be careful.
You're going to go with this woman.
It's okay.
Not you, no.
Girl: No, no.
Lida: It's OK.
It's OK.
Don't worry.
Good, you're here.
You speak English? No.
No English.
Ukraine.
Okay, come on.
Bosnian Consulate, these women are employees.
Daniel: So far, so good.
Daniel: They're on their way out now.
John: Van just pulled up; Diplomatic plates.
Lida: Hurry.
Come on.
And the limousine is right behind it.
Lida.
Over here.
John: It's Savic.
Rebecca: What the hell? Change of plan.
Come on, all of you.
What's he doing? He should be at the condo.
Lida: What are you doing here? Savic: All of you, come on.
He's putting them in the limo.
Lida: - What are you doing here? Savic: - Let's go.
Let's go.
You wanna get her out of there? John: Shut this down right now? Rebecca: Can Sara handle this? Maria: She can handle it.
She wants Savic as much as we do.
Let's let it play.
But stay close.
Savic: Did I surprise you? Mm? You didn't expect this, did you? Lida: Is something wrong? No no, everything's fine.
Just being careful.
Do you have the paperwork? Rebecca: What is he thinking? Why the change? Savic: Elena and Savic: Sara? This is a different girl? When did this happen? Lida: I just found out myself.
The paperwork is all good.
There must have been a last minute change back home.
You never know what they're going to do sometimes.
Khali: He's making a turn, what's he doing? He's changing the location, he's not going to the condo.
We're okay.
We've got eyes and ears.
We'll stay close.
Jesse, change of plan, they're not coming.
You've got their signal, right? I want you to follow it.
Try and catch up.
I'm on my way.
Rebecca: Where's he taking them? You can leave all that in the car.
Savic: You won't need it.
Please.
We've lost video.
She left the camera in the car.
Khali: We still have audio from Sara's wire.
Mikhail, I don't understand.
Why are we here? It's okay.
Okay, come on.
Inside.
They're on foot, they're heading inside.
Khali: I've got the building layouts.
I'll try to get the GPS signal from Sara's wire.
Don't worry; I'm just being careful.
- (Speaking Ukraine) - Shh, it's OK.
Lida: You have a buyer? He's coming here? Savic: That's right.
We're meeting him inside.
It's not far.
What, are you scared Lida? Don't be.
You're going home.
You get to see your family again.
You deserve it.
You've worked so hard.
Honestly, I don't know what I would have done without you.
Come on.
John: We're approaching the warehouse now.
John, Khali's tracking them.
You need to enter through the south door.
Find them, keep them in sight.
John: Copy that; On our way in.
This way, come on.
Savic: We're going to wait in here, please.
There's something not right; We're not here to meet anyone.
Lida said he was shutting things down.
These girls are loose ends.
That's why he changed the location.
Rebecca, he's going to kill them.
John, where are you? John: We're inside, heading north.
Keep to left; they're down at the end of a hallway You've been very patient, ladies.
Very patient.
Well, it won't be long now.
Your employers will be here soon.
And they can't wait to meet you.
I want to leave; I think we should go.
Come over here, come talk.
Talk to me over here.
Hello.
Daniel: Freeze.
If I were you, I wouldn't move.
Good choice.
Got him? Daniel: Go, go, go.
Whatever's in your head right now, whatever you're thinking It's okay.
No one will miss these girls.
They don't exist.
(Yelling) Savic: Shut up! John, she's in trouble.
Get in there! Shut up! Please, no gun.
Maria: C'mon Sara stall him.
Mikhail, they've done nothing.
You should let them go.
Now you care about these girls? When did that happen? Did you take Katerina away from me? No! It doesn't matter.
It's over now.
Please, no gun! Shut up! I won't let you do this! Get away from me (Gun Shot) Sara: Lida's down.
Rebecca: Get an ambulance over there now! Rebecca: John, where the hell are you?! Savic, put the gun down.
Get her out of here right now.
I'm a cop.
Put the gun down.
You are police? That's right.
You're done my friend.
We have you now.
And nobody's going to protect you, not on this one.
Now put the gun down.
(Gun Shot) Lida? Lida, stay with me here.
Stay with me.
We got him.
Hey.
Hi.
I just spoke to the hospital.
Lida just came out of surgery.
She's going to make it.
Good.
She's a survivor.
You going to charge her? I haven't decided.
She was protecting her family.
She thought she had no other choice.
I mean, she had a responsibility to those girls.
To Katerina.
So Yeah, she did.
What are you doing? I've got Lida's paperwork here.
I want to find the other girls.
The ones that came before.
Find out who bought them.
Track them down.
Wanna help?
