Mammon (2014) s02e07 Episode Script

-Thorgrim? -Look after our little girl.
I'll admit my stupidity and finish this.
You are finished.
Knowledge will be the light in darkness.
Big words, some might say, but I'll remind people of your actions.
Lucky for you she's too young to stand for election.
"Does your rapist want you to become a politician?" Username and password.
It was taken in Istanbul, probably when several government members were there.
-Can't we just question this person? -We don't know who it is.
Peter? There are cameras.
I'm looking straight into Ellen's flat.
Ellen! I work for Homeland Security.
The photo you found shows a Norwegian minister meeting China's industry minister Ma Zhijun.
What's in that photo? A Norwegian minister making a deal with China about an Oil Fund spy.
I know where Thorgrim hid the original.
Istanbul.
This is Frank Mathiesen.
I can't take the phone, so please leave a message.
Where are you? Contact the paper.
You can't get hold of me on the phone right now.
Let's hear from you.
Episode 7 Miklagard -Welcome.
-We'd like to check in.
Passports, please.
-Here you go.
-Suite 721.
-You will love the view.
-Thank you.
-What's up? -We'll talk in the car.
I'd rather talk here.
-One of our agents has been threatened.
-That's your responsibility, not mine.
One word from me to the state prosecutor and the government will be investigated.
I'll take you home afterwards.
No minutes will be taken, but be aware, that what you say, and don't say, may have consequences.
Homeland Security's seen a manipulated photo, which suggests something very serious has happened.
A dialogue between one of our ministers and corrupt parties in the Chinese government.
It's nothing to do with controversial Nobel Prize winners.
By dialogue, you don't mean dialogue? The foreign minister's not present, tellingly.
No one in the Foreign or Defence Dept.
or Intelligence knew about this contact.
Any other involved parties will be contacted when we know more.
You can't do this before the conference.
A prime minister's been killed.
Homeland Security's main agent in this case has fled the country.
She doesn't trust us because we can't ensure her safety.
We're trying to find her.
But it's equally important to try to identify the minister in this photo.
-I think it's called treason.
-Why the three of us? All of you were in Istanbul on party business when it was taken.
Are you saying I have to sit here with these two? When I come to meetings from now on, you'll be there, no excuses.
Hello.
We're here to check in.
Mira? Mira, there are people here! -I was on the phone.
Welcome.
-We have a reservation.
-Name, please? -It's Nielsen, with an E.
-Ask if they're on honeymoon.
-Without rings, Dad? How can you talk to your dad like that? How do we know what Melanie looks like? I only got a name.
I have no idea what she looks like.
They're more professional than the Norwegian idiots who got us here.
Excuse me? I hope I'm not disturbing anything romantic? No.
Not at all.
-What brings you to Istanbul? -Sightseeing.
Well, no better place.
I don't want to sound too forward, but would you join me for drinks later? I overheard you speak Norwegian.
I'm always looking for Scandinavians to brush up on my conversation.
I wanted to say I think you've got a beautiful wife.
I was really hoping that the three of us could hang out together.
Please leave us, OK? You can even call me Melanie.
Sorry.
Terrible sense of humour.
-Name's Mel.
-Peter.
Have you seen any of Istanbul's more modern districts? How does the place work? Cloudtech got a real boost after Snowden revealed the prism programme.
That all digital correspondence is Let's just say privacy isn't what it used to be.
They listen in Washington.
And more scary for businesses, they listen in Beijing.
Cloudtech is all about encrypting and storage.
About safety.
It's also about not being hacked.
There she blows.
It looks like an ugly, boring bank, huh? With regard to the entrance, only registered patrons are allowed in.
Scheduled appointments only.
If you want to open an account, you're referred to another office.
If Mr.
Hammern wants to go in, he needs his passport and his fingerprints.
The thing is, Mr.
Hammern is no longer with us.
OK, so how then? Like I said -You said something about fingerprints? -We'll sort that out.
-How? -Abtek Security Systems.
I invested in them.
It won't be a problem.
Let me ask you something.
What's Homeland Security's view on him? Since as they've done such a great job in sealing up Mr.
Hammern's data, I think it's time Mr.
Hammern went back in and got it himself.
Where are you going? Peter? Is your friend going to be all right? -You're sure you know who it is? -Yes.
I've been to his place.
This is just horrible.
You know what his job is? Why is he bothering you? Does he know who raped you? -I thought it was about the conference? -Something to drink? We'll wait.
-I heard you read my blog.
-No.
"Young serious man".
You write well.
You have a way with words.
-You didn't write that in the comments.
-I'm not with you? Give it a break, Aslak.
We know you're the one hassling her.
Fine.
Why don't we try and keep a professional tone here? Your blog won't be anonymous for much longer.
Nor will your "incident" at the party conference.
-Unless you withdraw from politics.
-Stop threatening her! Let's call it a day now, and this stays between us.
You wouldn't want your blood test results to get known.
What do you mean? The party has such a liberal stance when it comes todrugs, doesn't it? -I didn't take any.
My drink was spiked.
-Why don't you write that in your blog? I have the test results, and they show drugs.
Lie low, that's all I'm asking.
-You're finished.
-Talk to the guy you're fucking.
His name's in the medical records.
And I talked to the hotel staff They mentioned a tie that was tied to the bed post.
Prada Isn't that your fellow's favourite label? The party conference schedule with my comments.
-He wanted you to have it.
-I was thinking about something.
-Could you help me get something out? -What? -His boyfriend -You must keep your nose clean.
Stay well away from the bank and the boyfriend.
Homosexuality is no longer an issue.
He's the director of Norway's second largest bank.
They have made investments not everyone is supposed to know about.
Yes, but steer clear of it.
Their PR machine will make mincemeat of you.
And it would give Labour grist to the mill.
-You know everything, don't you? -Well, that much I know.
-All hell's breaking loose.
-What did you say? There are things coming from all directions.
Where have you been? I've got a bad feeling about this.
-Ever since Mathiesen disappeared.
-What's that? I'm trying to find an alternative plan to that of the American.
Try to find another way to get that information from Cloudtech.
You can't give up on me now.
We'll end up in prison for a long time.
We can only get out of this by finding hard evidence.
Human life means nothing to them.
Mathiesen's disappeared, we need this! -Why risk prison if he's dead? -We don't know that he is! Exactly! I have to get into Cloudtech no matter what.
I've worked so long for this.
I've left Mai-Lill.
This is my ticket to a normal life, do you understand? But if you know of another way of getting that evidence, I'd like to hear it.
What are you thinking about? Mathiesen.
-Do you think he's alive? -There's always hope.
Is there? If you've killed a prime minister, it's no big deal killing a retired old hack.
-Do you believe in God? -No.
We've agreed that we don't believe in each other.
Do you believe in God? I don't believe in coincidences.
-You think it's God? -What do you want me to call it? I call it coincidence, not God.
I didn't say that God is good.
You are good.
You're stupid.
You're very stupid.
I'll really need your help tomorrow.
-We got a report from Sync.
-Don't use those damn PR companies.
My banks need you.
They're a bunch of emperors with no clothes.
-Do you want to know what it says? -Just bullshit.
He's got the same qualities as Michael.
A family man, professional You stand stronger when it comes to resolution and leadership.
You don't when it comes to emotions.
They sit better with him.
-Did you pay for this information? -Don't be a bloody accountant.
One without a heart.
Sync knows you have one.
-And they know about us.
-Everybody does.
And they know about your wife.
Sell illness? My wife will not be remembered as a drooling nappy wearer! He let people into his life.
He sold his wife's death.
He became PM.
Don't you think she wants you to say what you did? That you took her back when she got ill? She wants you to win.
-She doesn't even know what's going on.
-No, but if she did -What's that? -A fox.
Mr.
Fox.
That's right.
-Is he nice? -Yes.
Maybe that's Mummy.
-And you haven't heard from him? -No.
-And no one from VG has contacted you? -No.
Hello, this is Eva Veras.
It's concerning Mathiesen.
Yes.
His wife's worried about him.
She hasn't heard from him for a while.
Has he been at work? What did you say? Frank quit his job? His wife didn't know that, nor did I.
-There.
Stretch a bit now.
-All I do is stretching.
About that interview People must feel that you are passionate about something.
Health, health, health You must make them feel like politics to you is about saving lives, increasing quality of life -Think Mother Teresa.
-Why don't you let Erik be Erik? -I should have said no.
-It may not be your kind of programme The entire party will see the interview.
It's your last chance to appear caring.
If you don't do the interview, Mr.
Perfect will.
Why am I helping you at all? Welcome.
This way.
-Welcome.
-I'm Thorgrim Hammern.
We have an appointment.
Your passports, please.
Thank you.
Your purse, please.
Just the makeup in your purse.
Thank you.
-Welcome.
Mr.
Ham -Hammern.
Hammern.
My name is Ahmed.
I'm here to provide any kind of help you need.
Any refreshments while we set up your transfer suite? -No thanks.
-As you wish.
You'll need this.
-You cut Hammern's finger off? -You'll need his fingerprint.
-At the funeral? -As I told you I've worked for this for a very long time.
-Mr.
Hammern? -Yes.
Your suite is ready.
-Here we are, Mr.
Hammern.
-Thank you.
Are you sure you don't want a cup of tea? - I'm fine, thank you.
- Please, take your time.
-Could you come and have a look at this? -What's up? I'll be right there.
Could you show me? Why don't you Google it.
Move over.
But He's dead.
Hey! Where are they? They ran through here.
The Liberal and Progress party leaders say they'll not contest the PM's position.
The Conservative party conference starts in three days.
Prime Minister Ulrichsen is with us today to talk about his future.
Tomorrow we will be interviewing his opponent.
-On in 20.
-Thank you.
Come with me.
Just a second.
Excuse me.
-Erik? You must leave that interview.
-Are you being funny? -They're on air.
1 million are watching.
-They'll ask about me.
-You don't want that.
-The News won't out anybody.
It's not about that.
Someone in my bank, familiar with our fund investments has leaked to the education minister, and they contacted NRK.
-What investments? -You can't do that interview.
-What investments, I said? -Erik, listen They're going to ask you about me.
Ulrichsen, a comment? Why are you pulling out of this interview? My dear wife doesn't want me to drag this fight down into the dirt.
She doesn't, and I don't.
We politicians must be allowed to set boundaries.
There should be a certain degree of propriety.
Thanks.
-Hi.
There you are.
-Thank you.
Listen I have to work.
-Don't watch TV tonight, dear.
-I won't.
Good.
-Did you think no one was watching? -I didn't do anything.
Your bank invested in companies which will finance the educational reforms.
I don't watch our fund investments, only the profits.
-Are you staking money on me losing? -I couldn't interfere.
-So you knew about it? -It won't turn into a legal matter.
We've got lawyers who won't be able to come out with this for ages.
As long as you refuse to answer questions about you and me.
There is no more you and me.
Whilst I'm in the middle of all this, you choose to stab me in the back.
-It's not an attack on you.
-What else have you done? -Nothing at all.
-Someone will come and get my things.
Are you going home soon? Can you please just leave? -What are we talking about here? -What happened between you two? -Who? -Amelia and you.
-What are you talking about? -The party conference.
What happened? She broke her arm and was high.
I took her to the A and E.
Right.
Aren't you the hero.
Is that why she always avoids you? What is it now? Why doesn't she ever want to talk to you? You're the only one.
She gets upset when you're there, when you talk -I'm not stupid! -What's between us is not your business! You raped her.
You raped her.
You did.
Give me a reason! -Give me -No fucking way! Give me one good reason! It was you! She just won't tell! Well, that's clients for you.
Send me the audit.
I have to stay at home for a few more days.
Great.
If I'd mentioned the finger, you wouldn't have come.
We've got what we need.
Change, and I'll chuck the old clothes.
-Where's the disk? -We haven't got time for that now.
Where the fuck is that disk? Here.
The disk is empty.
-What? -It's empty.
Check it again.
I'll call Fritzmann.
The guy you ran into? Right outside.
What about him? I don't believe in anything good anymore.
It's not for Fritzmann.
-I know what I'm doing.
-You're changing sides.
-Then there's no way back.
-It's the only way I can get to Aslak.
-No, and it's not your responsibility.
-Then they'll win.
If what I do matters.
It does.
How do you think Scheldrup will stop him? -They can find out.
-That's no guarantee.
-You can't trust anyone.
-I don't.
You're looking so good.
Michael would have been proud of you.
I'm behind in the rural constituencies.
At the party conference, women and young people will count for a lot.
That's why I was so excited when you called.
I can give you my support.
I can say that you and Dad were like two souls in the same body.
In return I want Dad's project implemented.
-Are you aware of the cost? -I know the funding's almost in place.
And I know what it may cost you.
You know quite a lot.
I know it was what mattered most to Dad.
I know it's his opponent's pet hate.
And I know you need the young and the women.
Not because you said it now.
-Because it's obvious.
-How clever you are.
Do we have an agreement? -He promised to do it.
-I don't trust him.
Why do you? -He knows I can get him fired.
-It's not that easy.
But I can.
And he knows.
Was it him? I can't tell.
Not to anyone.
Scheldrup can't risk this becoming public knowledge.
What does Johs know? Nothing about the rape.
He thinks I broke my arm whilst drunk.
You're not going to say anything to him.
Then everything will fall apart.
He's awake.
I need to talk to him alone for a while.
Don't ruin my chances, OK? Is Mathiesen alive? Is he alive? Peter, you have to understand, I didn't want any of this to happen.
My work was industrial.
Then Thorgrim found out, and it turned political.
-You don't believe in coincidences.
-Not good coincidences, no.
No, that much you've proved.
Listen I thought I worked for a country, or for an idea.
But my employer is clearly his own boss.
I didn't know that until Thorgrim got killed.
You're just a woman playing with our oil money.
Suffering some Baader Meinhof complex.
Shut up! I was 19 when I got into this, Peter.
19! -They know which buttons to push.
-But you're not 19 anymore! You said that Hammern hit you.
Did he? No, he didn't.
But I fell for you.
And that's not a lie.
I can make sure they don't carry out any threats against you or Eva.
-Are you threatening Eva? -Can't you hear what I'm saying? I'm not the one controlling this.
I just want us to get out of this alive.
Whilst there's still time.
Nobody move! Stand the fuck still! Object located.
What shall I do with the female? Can you run? -Can you run? -Yeah.
Let's move! Head down.
Get in! Head down! Stay down, hold tight.
You'll be fine.
I'm CIA, you're OK.
She was going to torture you, because you know something.
-No, she wouldn't.
-Why didn't she kill you? -You must know something.
-No! They kill everyone.
We need to find out what you know.
Have you got copies of anything? The fucking disk she wanted? -She got it and turned it over.
-The pictures of Zhijun, you got copies? -No, no! -I killed her.
Did you see the politician in the picture? No.
Have you got copies of anything? Fucking emails she sent you? -No, no.
-Look at me! Did you see the politician in the picture? No, I don't know anything.
I don't know.
What a fucking mess.
OK, let's go.
You're working for them, aren't you? She insisted on not torturing you, if it's any consolation.
I'll save Eva.
I meant everything I said, Peter.
We're going to survive this.
Don't worry.
She's just as dead as you are.
She just doesn't know it yet.
