Mammon (2014) s02e06 Episode Script

You can't tell me what my husband used you for? If you'd been married, I could have.
-You know her? -Never seen her.
She was Hammern's wife.
She was married to Hammern.
They use you to get to me! It's too late to play the stay-at-home-dad.
Dad! Dad! Mum! I knew him better than you know.
I was going to write his biography.
Your husband was writing a book too.
We were both doing research.
No! Peter, Mathiesen and Hammern's wife are being held hostage by Woll's nephew.
He's not his nephew, but his son.
I can't remember anything.
When I came to, my dad had been killed.
Get into position.
Range 250 metres.
I am not to blame! I haven't done anything! Do you understand? Don't shoot! He wants to negotiate! We don't negotiate.
Shoot.
I believe what he said, that he was fooled.
He put this in my pocket.
The gun wasn't loaded.
-He bought hunting rifles.
-Then you've solved the case.
I've done everything you asked! Let me go! Episode 6 Jotnir 6 days later -Give him time.
He doesn't hate you.
-You have no idea how angry he was.
You mean a lot to Peter.
You just did something other than what he wanted.
-Has he moved in with Ellen? -I don't know.
He moves in easily.
The only person he hates is his father.
He's just a bit sceptical to the rest of us.
Who hung these up? -Oh, she did.
-I see, you can dress formally.
If you hate attention, you kill him.
If you want to tell the world you hate your father, you kill him.
But that he killed both? I don't believe that.
Then there's the lawyer.
I can't get hold of him.
He gave me Hammern's papers about right-wing-extremists, about the son And there was lots of stuff from the farm.
He, the son He claimed he had nothing to do with it.
Meanwhile, the lawyer disappears.
OK? He's vanished.
His colleagues have no idea where he is.
He could probably have told us why the son was obsessed with Ellen.
I know Homeland Security and the police have been watching him for years.
I know he was part of a group in Trondelag.
But Ellen? Why is she here? I think she's under threat.
Are you getting tunnel vision? You've taken down the pictures I hung up.
-I didn't find it funny.
-It wasn't supposed to be.
They found a gun with his fingerprints on it.
And the body of his psychiatric nurse in a freezer! Some people thrive on conspiracy theories, but surely not you.
Leave those pictures up there as a reminder.
Let's write about tits and food prices and the rising water in Venice.
Give me a break.
Find something specific, or do this in your spare time.
Are you doing this just to see her? Then attend the morning meetings! You don't have to make a speech.
I'll change the programme if you want.
-Hi.
How long have we got? -About three minutes.
-We can -Wait.
Frank? -You have to answer my calls.
-I've been tired.
I understand.
What are you doing in the press area? Amelia invited me.
It's crowded in front of the church.
You know why I'm asking! Come to my office after the funeral.
I'm not going to lie to the investigation committee because of you.
Understand? Welcome back to Cathedral Square here in Oslo.
I've been joined by our chief editor who'll attend the funeral with us.
First, let's talk about what makes this personal for us, the VG staff, and not least our readers and viewers.
Our colleague Thorgrim Hammern was also killed.
His funeral is also today.
What can we say about that? His family wanted a small private ceremony.
Excuse me She can come after I've left.
I'd like to be alone.
I'd like you to open the coffin.
-His face is -I know.
The paper held a memorial yesterday.
You were invited, I tried to find you.
I've kept my distance.
-Your lawyer Where is he? -I can't deal with it all.
Of course not.
I understand.
How are you doing with your art photography? Why did you marry that troublemaker? Who had a common-law-wife and child? -How long were you married? -One year.
Did you need a celebrity boost to sell more? Hang out with the right crowd? That nude photo of you.
What was that for? -Stop! -Oh, you Think about the one with a child.
Think what kind of celebrity you'd be.
Shall I make you famous? Stop it.
Are you threatening me? I want your lawyer! Tell me how you contacted Hammern! I reckon Hammern had a secret phone and email address.
You'll give it to me.
Here's an email address Hammern had.
Check what he used it for.
This is the only thing we haven't checked.
Don't tell Gunn.
I'll call you if I find something.
Hi.
Do you know how long it will take to sort this out? It takes a long time to get people's confidence.
Now it's all gone! I'll own up to my stupidity, end of story.
Yes, end of you.
You won't orchestrate this.
You'll sit next to me whilst I explain why you've been fired.
And that everything you did, has nothing to do with this paper.
But not this week.
That would be doing the acting PM a favour.
Which we'll stop doing.
-So what do I say this week? -Refer all questions to me.
In writing.
-You've got my word.
-I trust you, the board doesn't.
We'll give NRK access to everything we have on you.
-Which we wish others would have done.
-If you think people care Do you know what you've done? The police are listening to Hammern's tapes.
They'll come across your biography.
Which I was never informed about! Which proves that our political editor, who's supposed to represent our view on the government, is too close to it! Everything we've written about the government's been contaminated by this! For as long as you've been here! People may not care, but those in power do.
They're gloating over the fact that we've been caught with our pants down.
Thanks.
You'll have to read this, and then sign it.
Then you can leave.
It's been dark after you died, Dad.
You always feared something happening to me.
But I'm the one left standing here by myself.
You always pointed ahead, Dad.
At the good in people.
You always pointed out that knowledge was the security and light we needed.
When I was little and scared.
When we were abroad and the world got too big for Mum and me.
And when Mum died.
But you did it in politics too.
You refused to rule on the basis of fear.
Power didn't become your means to rule, but your means to serve.
You didn't only hold my heart in your hands.
You tried to hold the country's future.
Before you were taken from me.
You taught me that our greatest asset isn't money, things, fish or oil It's our heads, our hands, our skills.
You said: "Knowledge should be the light in darkness.
" "Big words," some say, but I'll remind people of your actions.
Because knowledge demands action.
I'm going to make sure your light keeps shining.
Lucky for you she's too young to stand for election.
Yes, it's a tear-jerker and accomplished.
What's this? Why haven't I seen this before? An action plan.
For the educational reforms.
Mr.
Perfect is trying to tempt counties where his standing is weak with money.
Much more money than what was said.
This is why I have you guys, to be kept up to speed.
-Does she come up with this? -She's staying with her.
She writes it herself.
I read things, but didn't change anything.
I never thought her father was lost for words, but this Get him here.
Tell him we have a proposal for a solution.
-Do we? -Sure, he's not part of it.
Get food! -You browsed Hammern's private mails.
-What? You're not allowed to go into people's emails.
That includes Hammern's.
Hammern's dead.
I had permission from his wife and the mother of his child.
-Who gave you permission? -We know who's helping you.
-Hacking is illegal even for a paper.
-This is my responsibility.
-Talk to George.
Don't print anything.
-You said this was over and done with.
-You're breaking the law.
-Then come and arrest us.
Has Homeland Security discovered you entered their mails? -No.
-They know it was you.
They know who I am because I worked for them.
It'd take them days to find me.
-They're clearly looking into Hammern.
-They're following you.
No way is it me.
It's your emails and phone.
It would be a fine thing to find a piece of meat in the noodles one day.
-It tastes of cardboard.
-Nice ceremony.
-I thought I'd fired my state secretary.
-New job.
She's political advisor at the party HQ working for me towards the conference.
Have you seen the feedback after the funeral? "The future is light blue"? Let's skip the small talk.
I assume I'm here because you've seen the action plan.
-Funny how these things leak.
-We noticed.
We're a responsible party.
This plan isn't for a moon landing, but a colony on Mars.
I'll be prime minister by the end of this month.
Either sink with your flag, or join in and get a feather in your cap.
You go down with your ship and raise your flag.
If you're fighting for education, know your metaphors.
Constitutionally you're in office at my grace.
Any more leaks before the conference and you're fired.
Then we'll both sink.
You're far too vain to take a scandal like that.
He's got more than just that document.
You'll be told to meet me tonight.
-Hi.
-Hi.
-Hello.
-It's me.
Could you click on the link I sent you? That email address was linked to a cloud service.
-I've seen those snaps.
Anything new? -Open the other folder.
It's a time-lapse camera.
Istanbul, I think.
One shot a minute for three days.
I'm going through them now.
-What are you doing? -Checking the mail.
I'll call you if I find anything.
Bye.
Are you downloading pictures? I don't want that shit on my computer.
Get out.
-There's a reason I'm doing this.
-Weren't you supposed to look after me? I've never been in more danger than after I met you! What are you up to? There is something! I don't know what, maybe I missed something! -It was my neck he pointed the gun at! -I know I've overlooked something! I know what happened to your girlfriend.
I'm well aware.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It was like hearing him.
Yes.
She's not short of talent.
I thought, maybe you two, or the three of us could go out for dinner one day? -I don't think so.
-She needs people around her.
Yeah, but I don't think that would be me.
-Was it her idea? -No.
I'll go out for dinner, but then she has to ask, not you.
-I'm off on a home visit.
-Anything I should know? Everybody asks me that.
I'm fucking wondering myself.
-Where's Ulriksen? -He asked me to go.
-I don't have time for nonsense.
-Good.
Hence this meeting.
The action plan you presented today, I think will be very hard to implement in such detail in a week.
It has to be done with great skill.
So What do you know, really? My job isn't to say what Woll wanted, but to help your boss implement his policies.
Our boss.
-It was you who leaked that video.
-That would make me very skilled.
You know more.
That's what I'm saying.
Do you want to hear a voice from beyond the grave? Or I guess crematorium would be more accurate.
Did you know Hammern recorded people? I realised that a bit too late, yeah.
I haven't got time.
-Sure you do! -Why me? I'm not an elected politician! Your sex life could become politics.
There's zero interest in my private life.
You can pick and choose between positions.
On the top shelf if we win.
This is a test.
It's a test to see if we can trust you.
-Any position? -Except mine.
-And what's that? -It's not a position, but a condition.
PicturesOK.
Is that where we're at now? We want your answer by tomorrow.
How many people knew he was my brother? -I don't know.
-Did you know? No.
There are many good reasons why I wouldn't know.
I worked in the media.
He probably didn't trust me.
That's understandable.
I used to investigate cases like that.
-The stalker.
-Probably because you were on TV.
-I'll put Homeland Security onto it.
-No.
I want to sort this out myself.
Are you Nico? -You know what you have to do? -Is she a police officer? She's just looking after me.
Don't worry.
-I'll pay you when I get the name.
-It's free.
-Why? -I have my reasons.
Here's the username and the password.
I want you to have a good life.
That probably won't happen if you're with me.
-You have to give up.
-Give up? I have to give up.
Someone's telling me to give up.
All of Norway wants me to.
My dad used to say that if all of Norway wants something, be afraid.
-Why? -He said you were the last Soviet state.
And that you were peasants.
-Self-centred and passive-aggressive.
-We are.
-He had a lot on you.
-What did he do? He was a professor of medicine.
He researched brain cancer.
He was the best father in the world.
Until he killed himself.
Don't tell me you didn't know.
The Q-sark scandal.
Cheating with research data.
There were terrible accusations.
-Was there anything to them? -Yes.
He'd cheated like hell.
And made a fortune on it.
Mum and I had to move to Sweden and change our names.
Who the hell is that? -Hello? -Hi, it's Frank.
-What do you want? -Sory! The damn thing is, you were right.
I let that boy down.
My God, he was only a messed-up kid.
Tell her upstairs sorry I dragged her into this.
Listen It was Hammern who was mean to her.
Not you.
I brought the draft of my book.
See what you can make of it.
- It was supposed to be my pension.
- Are you OK? Woll asked me to call the chapter about the educational reforms Yggdrasil.
Yes? Yeah, OK, I'll come now.
I don't think this has to do with right-wing extremists.
Someone wants to make it look that way.
Shut up if we meet someone.
I'll say I'm helping you get something for your wife.
Hi.
-Hi, Frank.
-He's not here.
I can't say who's here, what we're doing, what we find.
I've taken the three days of time-lapse photos from Istanbul and made a film.
-Two photos are missing.
20 seconds.
-How do you know that? I calculate the shadow on one wall, filter it through a shadow-tracking programme -Bang.
-Apps for everything.
-I'm kidding.
I can see it.
-Funny.
Two numbers are missing, and they were sent to an email address.
I opened the email and found the two pictures.
Do you know who that is? The sharp one's China's industry minister.
-The other one? -I can't see that without the originals.
-Who's the recipient of the email? -It was sent to this address.
Owned by this man.
"We have to talk about the meeting in Istanbul.
I've seen pictures.
" "Let's meet tomorrow night.
I'll tell you where.
" Is it that lawyer? What's the law firm? I tried to track his phone.
He seems to have protected himself against stuff like that.
I'm excited.
Are you worried I'll replace you? -Then you don't understand much.
-I know what I'm doing.
If you knew what you were doing, I wouldn't be here.
How could you be so up front and know-it-all with him? I'm playing this just like you are.
It's just a bit harder for a woman.
Right.
You think you're playing this like me? Whatever you think, you're no longer in my league.
You got these from Ulriksen? You've become his errand boy? You're finished whoever I run errands for.
You're backing two horses.
My job is to make sure someone wins the election, that we have horses.
You wouldn't dare to use this.
You're on sick leave as of tomorrow.
-When did you hear of our relationship? -14 years ago.
Well-informed even then? It was a secret then.
That was when I was interested in gossip.
Which you're not anymore? -No, but you are, I see.
-Don't be touchy.
You've leaked a recording or two yourself.
Why should we trust you? Because of what I'm about to say.
The Oil Fund, Yggdrasil, renaissance, education and everything you hate It would raise much more money if it was financed by the changes to the Oil Fund.
-So he has money for a colony on Mars.
-You find it amusing? They knew you were planning changes to raise more yourself.
The entire finance package's called Miklagard.
Didn't you go to Istanbul? -Everybody did.
-I see.
I didn't.
What did you do with the envelope? -Should I wear this tonight? -You're so pretty you can wear anything.
-I don't know if I have time to change.
-It won't begin until you're there anyway.
I've got everything under control.
-Well? -He tried to buy me.
-What was the price? -I could name that.
Your job, I said.
-Then he's desperate.
-I'd like to think I'm worth it.
-He's after finance.
-He always is.
-I'll get your job when you're PM.
-You will.
-But things won't be like they used to be.
-No, we'll get a better education minister.
One who's more likely to do everything his boss wants him to do.
I'm checking out that lawyer.
He worked for some companies I'll look at.
-What are you saying? -I want to help.
You understand that? I'm the one who'll be meeting him, not you.
Don't mess this up now Hello? Peter, you must not meet that lawyer.
He's got cameras.
I'm standing here looking into Ellen's flat.
Go there.
They're watching her flat.
I checked out that Chinese.
That industry minister's got many companies.
One has an office in Oslo.
The lawyer is their rep here.
Where are you? Hurry to Ellen's! Never mind me.
Ellen! Ellen! Ellen! What the hell -Where are you? I was at your flat.
-Get me at Wilhelm Farders Vei now.
We have to find a safe place for Mai-Linn.
Give me your phone.
I work for Homeland Security.
And you're telling me this now? Before that I worked for US intelligence.
Industrial espionage and finance.
Homeland Security hired me to find a spy in the Oil Fund.
They've been looking for years.
They told me the deaths were not linked to that.
That it was terrorists.
I believed them.
-What kind of spy is this? -That photo you found That's of a Norwegian minister meeting China's industry minister Ma Zhijun.
-What's in the photo? -He's making a deal using the Oil Fund.
-What does he get for that? -I don't know.
-Why can't Homeland Security help? -Because there's a leak.
They killed my husband because he took photos.
Now they've searched my flat.
I know where Thorgrim hid the originals.
-You'll need your passport.
-Passport? I need someone who doesn't know me to take care of her.
She can't be where she normally is.
Understand? -Do you have a safe phone? -Who are you going to call? -If you don't want to, tell me.
-It's not that.
But will she be OK? I have talked to Mai-Lill and explained it to her.
At least you have to tell me where you're going.
Istanbul.
But you mustn't tell anyone.
Not a word.
What's in Istanbul? We're going to find a photo.
-OK? -Yeah.
What's so urgent we must meet now? There's someone from the Chinese government behind industrial espionage.
We have reason to believe someone in Homeland Security's leaking to him.
He endangered a female agent.
We don't know who.
-You don't have control? -That's not what the photo's about.
He's meeting someone from the Norwegian government.
-Can't we bring them in for questioning? -We don't know who it is.
We know the photo was taken in Istanbul.
Presumably when several members of the government were there.
So Am I one of the suspects? So is your opponent.
We can't deal with this before the party conference.
What's he suspected of? Assisting a foreign party to spy on the Norwegian Oil Fund.
