[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Damien Powell. He's FBI.
Powell is one of the 10% of agents
that does 90% of the work.
He has got a problem with authority.
Came into the Seattle office
before this, right?
Did we meet once?
No, I think I would remember
meeting you before, Cameron.
There might be a place
for you on Fly Team.
The answer is yes.
[SCANNER CHIRPS]
Back already, Ms. Celine?
I'm just grabbing
something from my desk.
I'll be right back down.
[COMPUTER CHIRPING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
♪
Philippe, are you
seeing what's happening?
I'm sorry?
There's some sort of program
running in the background of my system.
I think it's accessing
the account registers.
Oh, that's impossible.
It's not impossible. It's happening.
Is someone hacking into the bank?
Is that what I'm seeing?
Because your whole job
is making sure that doesn't happen.
It's probably just routine maintenance.
Look.
None of the account balances
have been affected.
See? All good.
Thank you for bringing this
to my attention,
but I'll take it from here.
What do you think you're doing?
Philippe, stop.
[SCANNER CHIRPS]
♪
See you on Monday, Guillaume.
We need to go, now.
What happened?
What did you do?
Grab what you can.
We leave in two minutes.
- We have to run.
- Two minutes?
I don't where Where are we going?
Are the cops coming now?
It's not the police
we need to worry about.
♪
You.
You promised me this could never happen.
Sir, I can fix this.
I know it looks grim,
but I'm telling you,
I make one phone call
and this all goes away.
One call.
[PHONE RINGING]
This is Garretson.
Hey, Meggy. It's me.
Christopher?
Is everything okay?
Um, no, it's pretty bad, actually.
Bad enough I'm ringing
my big sister for help.
- Good morning.
- Hey.
I'm up.
I didn't wanna be late.
Make a good impression on the first day.
Oh, you made an impression.
I'm guessing you haven't
found a place to live yet.
Yeah, I'm working with a rental agent.
Well, actually, I have a call into one.
I'm just keeping my stuff here for now.
That couch can't be comfortable.
It's not that great on the ribs.
About 3:00 a.m., Tank's dog bed
started to look inviting.
Well, you might wanna freshen up.
Forrester's on the phone with HQ.
He's about to brief the team.
Right.
You don't seem too excited
about our newest team member.
- Are you?
- It's not my call.
Look, I just think that, you know,
our group has been clicking as it is.
So why risk that?
Maybe it's like when a basketball team
adds a new player.
It might throw off
the chemistry for a bit,
but if Powell's a good agent,
it'll work out in time.
I don't think
we'll have to worry about that.
I bet he doesn't last a week.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Okay, everybody, listen up.
Philippe Morand is wanted for
a bank robbery in Switzerland.
Bank Geneva's supposedly
impenetrable security system
was compromised
at roughly 9:30 last night.
The chief cybersecurity officer
and his wife
have not been seen since.
- So it was an inside job?
- Looks that way.
Philippe has dual American
and Swiss citizenship
through his wife, Anne-Marie,
who is an American.
- Is she an accomplice?
- Hard to say.
In any case, our job is to help the
Swiss track the two fugitives down.
- How much money was stolen?
- None.
The thief took something
even more valuable:
confidential list of the bank's clients.
The Swiss have a tradition
of financial privacy
going back hundreds of years.
These guys do not mess around.
So the bank wants to recover the list
of their anonymous clients'
names and balances
before it can be sold
to the highest bidder?
Or released to the public.
They're not worried about the cash,
they're worried about
the next Panama Papers.
Yeah, or the Morands could be
the next Edward Snowden
or Hervé Falciani.
- [TANK PANTING]
- Oh, good boy.
You're such a good boy. Whoa!
[LAUGHS]
Good boy.
I'm surprised we got a call.
Europol doesn't wanna
handle this on their own?
Smitty's brother works at the bank.
She brought this case to our attention.
But the DOJ has taken
a special interest.
The data that was stolen
is essentially a list
of thousands of tax evaders,
many of them likely from the U.S.
So we're glorified IRS collectors?
Smitty should already
be on the ground by now,
so let's get moving.
- Hey, Scott.
- Yeah.
I don't know anything
about financial crimes.
I might not be much help.
Should I sit this one out?
Well, that's rule number 35
of joining the Fly Team.
You don't get to pick your cases.
We're stuck with you now.
I'm sure you'll find a way
to contribute.
Hey, Vo, why don't you
partner up with Powell?
Maybe you can show him the ropes.
Sounds great.
♪
There she is, my hero.
Oh.
First of all, you look amazing.
No, I love everything
that's happening here.
The shoes, the belt, ponytail.
You really don't need to kiss up.
I've already said I'd help.
Fair enough. The car's right over here.
I can't tell you how much this means.
This is the first full breath
I've taken in 24 hours.
My own personal secret agent
to the rescue.
It's good to see you, too,
despite the circumstances.
The circumstances are, I'm screwed.
I still don't understand exactly
what this has to do with you.
I brought Philippe Morand in to head up
our information security department.
We worked together in London,
so I vouched for him.
Brilliant little prick,
not so reliable, though.
Clearly.
If you can't track him,
somebody at the bank
is gonna have to take the fall,
and I'm quite certain it's me.
Is this your car?
Sexy as hell, isn't it?
[SCOFFS]
If I bring financial ruin to the bank,
I'll never be hirable again.
I could lose all of this.
Well, thankfully for you and your car,
the FBI will be here in a few hours.
Wh whoa, whoa, whoa.
I called you because I trust
you, not some outsiders.
I promised I would do
everything I can to help.
This is what that means.
I work with the FBI every day.
They're my friends,
and they have my back.
You know what? I love it.
Whatever it takes to save my ass.
♪
Welcome, Agent Forrester.
I'm Henrik Hess,
chairman of Bank Geneva.
It's nice to meet you.
These are Agents Kellett, Vo,
Raines, and Powell.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
If the bank can't keep client
information confidential,
it will cease to exist.
I can assure you that we
will do everything in our power
to find your fugitives.
Wonderful.
We want you to have every
resource at your disposal.
Offices, computers, anything you need.
Great.
We have reserved this
entire area for your use.
We'll be working out of the bank?
Yes. The Swiss Federal Task Force
will be setting up down the hall.
Cozy.
The FBI'S effectiveness
is an enormous asset.
But I must insist that
our entire investigation
be conducted with discretion.
Will that be a problem?
Of course not.
Very good.
Let me introduce you to the
other key member of our team.
This is our top prosecutor,
Lara Pruvost.
- Hi.
- Hello. Nice to meet you all.
My team will be working
closely in tandem with yours
to ensure a conviction.
We've already interviewed
the primary witness,
Celine Collet, but you're welcome to ask
your own questions, if you choose.
That would be great.
All right, Kellett and I
will take this one,
but the rest of you get set up
and then head to Philippe's apartment.
- On it.
- Okay, great.
With a team like this, we'll
catch this guy in no time.
♪
How's Christopher holding up?
He seems a little skittish.
Oh, no, he's only
concerned with one thing:
his own personal bottom line.
You don't think he had
anything to do with this?
No.
My brother might be
a little bit self-absorbed,
but he's not stupid.
He wants the thief caught.
Christopher would never
bite the hand that pays him.
When it comes to computers,
Philippe is an absolute genius.
And you said he
redesigned the entire system
- essentially from scratch?
- Yes.
So the bank wanted to be able
to offer complete anonymity.
The accounts were only
identified by number,
and only the system knew which names
were associated with the accounts.
But as the designer,
Philippe could get around that?
Yeah, he compiled the list,
complete with real names and balances.
It's a document that was
never supposed to exist.
And he used your computer
to send it to the cloud?
Yeah.
What about Anne-Marie?
Do you think she could be involved?
- Who?
- Philippe's wife.
We're trying to determine
if she could be an accomplice.
I'm sorry.
Phillipe's married?
Yes.
In the six months we've worked together,
he never mentioned a wife.
Morand's car was spotted
in the driveway yesterday morning.
Vo's still knocking on doors,
but nobody saw them leave last night.
The Swiss have checkpoints
all around the city.
They're not getting far.
Did you find anything in here?
Weapon acquisition permit.
Looks like Philippe
is carrying a Colt 1911.
Wife could be a hostage.
- It's a bit of a stretch.
- Is it?
She's cooking dinner,
no idea they're going anywhere.
He comes home, grabs the gun,
orders her into the car.
No sign of struggle.
The wife probably
planned the whole thing.
In my experience,
there are no good guys.
Hey, guys. Check this out.
I thought it was weird
that a computer guy
would leave his laptop behind,
but once I cracked into it,
the whole hard drive was wiped
clean except for one file.
It's a video message.
If you're watching this,
that means I've taken action.
My wife and her family
had no idea of my intentions.
And despite what you may
be told, I am not a thief.
What I've done is for the greater good.
Yeah, sure, buddy.
Despite recent reforms,
the banking in my country
remains corrupt.
The data I stole is a list of criminals,
tax evaders who are shielded
by their wealth.
Bank Geneva knows this,
yet asked me to devise a system
to deliberately avoid the law.
I'm willing to turn this list
over to the authorities,
but only if they prosecute
the real criminals
The bankers themselves.
These are my demands.
Demands?
What makes this man think
that he can make demands?
He's a thief.
If the bank's assets are
derived from criminal activity,
it is a crime not to come forward.
That is hardly the point.
Morand may claim that he will turn over
the information he stole,
but by making that conditional,
he's now committing extortion as well.
I agree.
But aren't you curious who's
on that list of clients?
No.
The video is nothing more
than a distraction.
My team will continue interviewing
the couple's associates
and trying to locate them.
Are you absolutely sure
you've told me everything you know?
I don't know what he's talking about.
And honestly, I kinda don't care.
- Christopher.
- I'm being serious.
I've told you everything I know.
Whether Philippe is some
kind of Robin Hood or not
is not my problem.
All I asked you to do
was solve a bank robbery,
which is your job.
Hey, I think I got something.
Philippe's video mentioned
Anne-Marie's family,
so I did a little digging.
Turns out her stepfather
lives just outside the city.
♪
Camera's been shot out.
Scott.
Did Philippe do this?
Kill his own family member?
If so, that would put a real dent
in his "all for the greater good" story.
Maybe the stepfather disapproved,
tried to turn him in.
- He panicked.
- No.
The security camera was disabled.
The killer came here with intent.
You think we can get the footage?
There it is. From roughly two hours ago.
That's not Philippe.
Apparently, we're not the only ones
looking for Philippe and his wife.
Then we better find them fast
'cause this guy wants them dead.
♪
If a killer is out there
looking for the Morands,
that means somebody must
know about the robbery.
Whatever efforts you've been
taking to keep this a secret,
well, they simply aren't working.
Who exactly is this gunman?
We can't say for certain,
but our theory is,
he was hired by one
of your account holders.
A contract killer?
Your clients have a great deal to lose,
especially if they're hiding
untaxed income.
Perhaps one of them
took it upon themselves
to solve the problem.
We're gonna need a copy of all the data
- that Philippe stole.
- No. That's ridiculous.
Every name on that list
is now a potential suspect.
Swiss banking laws are
very clear on this matter.
Are they not, Ms. Pruvost?
You're gonna let us get
bogged down on a technicality?
This is now a homicide investigation.
Without proof of criminality
on the part of the account holders,
there's no way to compel the bank
to release their identities.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Thank you, Agent Forrester.
Please keep me updated on your progress.
Okay, our investigation
is now on two tracks.
We're looking
for Philippe and Anne-Marie,
and trying to find a hit man.
- Any luck on facial rec?
- Nothing yet.
If we had the client list,
maybe we could do
a little cross-referencing.
I'm no expert on Swiss privacy laws,
but I am pretty sure
we're getting stonewalled.
I could reach out to Blair,
ask her for help on the legal side.
Blair, the attorney general Blair?
Maybe she could lean on the Swiss AG
- to be more forthcoming.
- Do it. Discreetly.
How are you coming
with tracking Philippe online?
Celine wasn't kidding.
The guy's basically a ghost.
I was able to find
a few breadcrumbs, however.
Over the last six months,
Philippe took three
business trips to Johannesburg.
For what purpose?
That's the thing
According to the bank,
there was no official reason
to go there.
Could have been arranging
a buyer for that list.
All right, keep digging.
Philippe's bound to get desperate.
All we need is one slip-up
to crack this thing wide open.
I am shocked we actually found somebody
who can leave you in the digital dust.
[SCOFFS] Do you know me?
I'm taking this challenge personally.
I expect nothing less.
Watch this.
Well, I'm happy to do whatever I can,
but the Swiss government would prefer
if they could
recover the list themselves.
Can't you force their hand?
Maybe, but they could stall
the legal proceedings.
If the Europeans recover
the list in the meantime,
I fear it could be
handed back to the bank
and disappear into a black hole.
You can't let that happen.
Who exactly is the bank
trying to protect?
From the posture the Swiss are taking,
it must be an enormous account.
I expect they could be
sitting on billions in holdings
belonging to the Underwood family.
The pharmaceutical magnates?
You think they've been hiding
their business profits overseas?
We don't think; we know.
It's like the Sacklers all over again,
except this time, we could have proof.
So capturing the fugitives
and arresting the hit man,
all that's important.
But you now have a higher priority.
I need you to get me that list.
America's interests and those of the EU
are not entirely aligned.
Once the FBI recovers the list,
we can't hand it over
to a Europol liaison.
Ms. Garretson isn't
necessarily on our side.
♪
Taking a break already?
Just getting some air.
Too many guys in suits, I start
wanting to punch somebody.
Then the bureau was definitely
a bad choice for you.
So, uh, what's the deal
with you and Raines?
The deal?
You got a little office
romance thing going on?
No. There is no "thing" going on.
I see little looks here and there,
a squeeze on the shoulder.
You've only been with the
team for, like, what? A day?
You're right, I'm sorry.
My bad. I must have been seeing things.
Okay, yeah.
If circumstances were different,
there was a time where maybe something
could have happened there.
But that's over. Plus we work together.
The job has to come first.
I'm impressed.
I can see why Forrester
partnered us together.
You're like the perfect agent.
Keep me on my best behavior.
How about you?
Have you ever dated a fellow agent?
No. No way.
I've screwed up
a million different ways,
but that is one line I will never cross.
You're so full of it.
What the hell is this?
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Anne-Marie Morand was
just spotted at the airport.
♪
She's being held by Border Control.
Apparently, she was trying to
board a flight to Johannesburg
using a fake passport.
Flagging all travel
to South Africa paid off.
- Any sign of Philippe?
- Unfortunately, no.
But Anne-Marie's ready to be questioned.
♪
Where is your husband?
I don't know.
You are an accomplice to a robbery.
We could add obstructing
our investigation.
I didn't do anything.
Where did you get the fake passport?
Philippe gave it to me.
He handed me the passport
and he arranged the ticket.
He knew they were looking for a couple,
so he thought it would be
safer to split up.
So how are you going to
reconnect with him?
If you're as innocent as you claim
to be, you better start acting like it.
He said he would find me the airport
when I got to Johannesburg.
I'll make sure someone's
there to pick him up if he shows.
You buying this?
Yeah, she's holding back.
Protecting him.
Ms. Morand, I have one question only,
and I would like you
to consider that this
is your final opportunity to cooperate.
The data that you and your husband
removed from the bank
illegally, where is it now?
He never told me.
He was trying to protect me.
You have to believe me.
Philippe was only trying
to do the right thing.
He's a whistleblower.
Then why hasn't he come forward?
Why is he running away instead
of sharing what he knows?
Because he's a thief
and an extortionist,
as are you.
Wait.
You're FBI, right?
And the Europeans are gone?
They are.
The reason why Philippe
never came forward
was because he was afraid.
Someone at the bank wants him dead.
And he won't tell the Swiss?
The government won't
investigate the bank.
They're one and the same.
When my husband realized
his security system
was hiding criminal activity,
he came forward.
But he was told if he ever
mentioned it again,
he would be killed.
Who made the threat exactly?
Christopher Garretson.
♪
Drink, Meggy?
You look like you could use one.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Oh, come on.
You can't possibly
be taking this seriously.
It is serious.
Once again, you have dragged me
into one of your bad decisions,
only this time, it's not
like stealing Dad's car
and begging me to cover for you.
Philippe is lying.
Exaggerating his own importance.
That's the kind of bloke he is.
A wannabe. You know the type.
Did you tell him that
the bank would kill him or not?
Technically, yes, I did,
but it wasn't a threat.
I was trying to warn the poor guy.
How could you be so stupid?
It was figurative.
When I said Hess would kill him,
I meant fired, blackballed.
And for the record,
Philippe didn't come forward
as some sort of do-gooder.
He was shaking me down for a kickback.
He wanted hush money.
What?
You don't believe me?
You didn't tell me any of this.
There is an actual murderer out there,
and you are protecting the bank.
You just can't help yourself, can you?
You can't help telling everyone
else what they're doing wrong.
Your entire life, you've run around
lining your own pockets
without a care for anyone else.
And I'm left to pick up the pieces.
So this is what this is about?
You never got a thank you note.
I cannot keep saving you. I won't do it.
♪
I may be self-centered,
but I would never have somebody killed.
You know that, right?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Swing that door shut, will you?
It's a whole new ball game.
The Swiss bankers are now
our primary suspects.
So we just gotta keep playing nice
and conduct our own
investigation, quietly.
Are we really going to put
Smitty's brother in jail?
Well, if he's guilty,
we'll have no other choice.
Look, the only way to make
sure the truth comes out
is to find Philippe and get
this list for ourselves.
♪
Did I interrupt something?
It's direct orders
from the DOJ, I'm sorry.
So I'm frozen out?
The AG thinks you'll hand
the list over to the Swiss
and it'll disappear.
- I wouldn't do that.
- I know.
But you have to admit, it would
be best for your brother
if this all just quietly went away.
That is not my priority.
I can be objective.
Don't shut me out, Jamie.
Look, our best chance
is for us to work together,
sharing information as a team.
This case is too important
for us to keep secrets,
and honestly, I'm running out
of people I can trust.
- You got a sec?
- Yeah.
We have an idea of how
to find our fugitive.
Great. I'm all ears.
We wanna take a run at the wife.
'Cause I got a hunch
Philippe's a classic traitor.
He's motivated by ego and money.
He's been lying all along,
having an affair
with some chick in Johannesburg,
creating this whole Robin Hood
act to justify it all.
If we can make a convincing case that
her husband betrayed her,
I think Anne-Marie
will reveal his location.
Do you have any proof?
We've got a picture of the woman
that Philippe's been cheating with.
Really?
No, I got it off the internet,
but the wife doesn't know that.
This play only works
if Philippe is a dog
and Anne-Marie is innocent.
Otherwise, this whole thing
blows up in our faces.
Philippe is a dog, trust me.
And you're on board with this?
It's risky, but I like it.
She wants to do the right thing.
Okay, give it a shot.
I brought you on this team for a reason.
♪
I know you've been
through a lot, Anne-Marie,
but there's been
a development in the case
and we need to ask you
a few more questions.
I just wanna be very clear.
We believe that you are innocent,
but your husband, he has left
you in an impossible position.
Philippe may have convinced you
of his good intentions,
but the facts say otherwise.
Those trips to Johannesburg
were all to meet this woman.
Leah Sarah.
She works at Bank Geneva's
international accounts in South Africa.
And what started as a
professional relationship
became personal.
We believe the affair
is why he never told
his colleagues he was married.
And why he planned to escape
to Johannesburg.
But he gave me the passport
to go with him.
The passport was an obvious fake.
There's no chance you were getting
out of the country, and he knew it.
His plan was to disappear
with the stolen data
and the other woman,
and leave you behind to take the fall.
And your role, unknowingly,
was to sell his story
as a whistleblower.
Why would a guy leave his wife
with no way to communicate
if it wasn't to pull a disappearing act?
I know you wanna do the right thing,
so help us bring him in.
♪
Our friends have a chalet
in the mountains.
Philippe has the keys.
It's where we were hiding and waiting
for things to cool down.
He's probably back there now
with that woman.
Uh, Ms. Garretson?
It appears our FBI friends
have a lead worth pursuing.
Is this something
I should be read in on?
The hit man's face popped up
in the FBI'S database.
They're running down a potential match.
It's a long shot, but I'll
let you know if it pans out.
Please do.
Meggy.
Okay, so what's really going on?
Not now, Chris.
Come on, Meggy,
I know when you're lying.
The Americans told you they
found Philippe, didn't they?
Okay.
We do have a lead, but I cannot
tell you more than that.
You have to trust me on this, okay?
Of course.
♪
If we can find him, so can the hit man.
[GUNSHOTS]
- Ready?
- On three.
One, two
Son of a bitch.
Philippe, stop! FBI!
Philippe!
♪
Please. Please. Please, don't kill me.
- Please, I'm begging you.
- We're not killing you.
We're arresting you.
You're not trying to take me out?
We're FBI.
That's what we've been yelling.
Oh, thank God. The FBI.
I'm prepared to make a deal
with the United States.
I give up the list of clients
in exchange for immunity
and $30 million.
♪
I don't think you realize
what's going down here, Philippe.
One call and you spend the
rest of your life in a Swiss prison.
You can threaten me all you want.
But you need a deal.
The Underwood family
is all over that list.
Your government wants it,
and I'm the only one
who can give it to them.
In exchange for your full cooperation,
I believe we can get you
a reduced sentence.
No jail time. None.
That's my price.
And immunity for my associate as well.
Your associate? You mean your wife?
No.
Her name is Lina Prasad.
She is a programmer from South Africa.
She'll soon be joining me here.
I knew it.
Lina is the only one who appreciated
that my security system was the
real moneymaker at the bank.
And now you expect us to pay
because the bank wouldn't.
30 million is just a drop in the bucket.
The Underwood family's
untaxed income alone
would more than pay for my finder's fee.
So your video about doing this
for the greater good,
that was all just talk?
You are only here because
your government wants their cut.
Same with the Swiss.
Why should I be the
only one in the system
that is not getting rewarded?
I was told Mr. Hess
wants to see me immediately.
Thank you.
Please, come sit.
[TENSE MUSIC]
I think I'll stand.
Very well.
I've been informed that
you've been holding out on us.
The FBI has located Philippe Morand.
If you are unwilling
to share his location,
I will have no choice
but to report your misconduct
to Europol and consider charges
for obstruction of justice.
Are you sure that's what you want?
More eyes on the bank.
I'm not the one covering up
the truth, and you know it.
Meggy, wait. Please, I can explain.
What did they offer you? Another car?
What is the going rate
for selling out your sister?
I never meant to hurt you.
There is still a way out of this.
All you have to do is tell them.
Why make this hard?
Because I am trying to do what's right.
Okay. That's not really an option.
The Americans are just
gonna cut Philippe a deal
and let him walk away. You know that.

Okay, everybody, listen up.
Philippe Morand is wanted for
a bank robbery in Switzerland.
Bank Geneva's supposedly
impenetrable security system
was compromised
at roughly 9:30 last night.
The chief cybersecurity officer
and his wife
have not been seen since.
- So it was an inside job?
- Looks that way.
Philippe has dual American
and Swiss citizenship
through his wife, Anne-Marie,
who is an American.
- Is she an accomplice?
- Hard to say.
In any case, our job is to help the
Swiss track the two fugitives down.
- How much money was stolen?
- None.
The thief took something
even more valuable:
confidential list of the bank's clients.
The Swiss have a tradition
of financial privacy
going back hundreds of years.
These guys do not mess around.
So the bank wants to recover the list
of their anonymous clients'
names and balances
before it can be sold
to the highest bidder?
Or released to the public.
They're not worried about the cash,
they're worried about
the next Panama Papers.
Yeah, or the Morands could be
the next Edward Snowden
or Hervé Falciani.
- [TANK PANTING]
- Oh, good boy.
You're such a good boy. Whoa!

I'm surprised we got a call.
Europol doesn't wanna

Smitty's brother works at the bank.
She brought this case to our attention.
But the DOJ has taken
a special interest.
The data that was stolen
is essentially a list

When it comes to computers,
Philippe is an absolute genius.
And you said he
redesigned the entire system
- essentially from scratch?
- Yes.
So the bank wanted to be able
to offer complete anonymity.
The accounts were only
identified by number,
and only the system knew which names
were associated with the accounts.
But as the designer,
Philippe could get around that?
Yeah, he compiled the list,
complete with real names and balances.
It's a document that was
never supposed to exist.

Yeah.

Do you think she could be involved?

And despite what you may
be told, I am not a thief.
What I've done is for the greater good.
Yeah, sure, buddy.
Despite recent reforms,
the banking in my country
remains corrupt.
The data I stole is a list of criminals,
tax evaders who are shielded
by their wealth.
Bank Geneva knows this,
yet asked me to devise a system
to deliberately avoid the law.
I'm willing to turn this list
over to the authorities,
but only if they prosecute
the real criminals
The bankers themselves.
These are my demands.
Demands?
What makes this man think
that he can make demands?
He's a thief.
If the bank's assets are
derived from criminal activity,
it is a crime not to come forward.
That is hardly the point.
Morand may claim that he will turn over
the information he stole,
but by making that conditional,
he's now committing extortion as well.
I agree.
But aren't you curious who's
on that list of clients?
No.
The video is nothing more
than a distraction.
My team will continue interviewing
the couple's associates

We can't say for certain,
but our theory is,
he was hired by one

untaxed income.

took it upon themselves

very clear on this matter.

This is now a homicide investigation.
Without proof of criminality
on the part of the account holders,
there's no way to compel the bank
to release their identities.

Please keep me updated on your progress.
Okay, our investigation

We're looking

If we had the client list,
maybe we could do
a little cross-referencing.

we're getting stonewalled.
I could reach out to Blair,
ask her for help on the legal side.

Maybe she could lean on the Swiss AG
- to be more forthcoming.
- Do it. Discreetly.
How are you coming
with tracking Philippe online?
Celine wasn't kidding.
The guy's basically a ghost.
I was able to find
a few breadcrumbs, however.
Over the last six months,
Philippe took three
business trips to Johannesburg.
For what purpose?
That's the thing
According to the bank,
there was no official reason
to go there.
Could have been arranging
a buyer for that list.
All right, keep digging.
Philippe's bound to get desperate.
All we need is one slip-up
to crack this thing wide open.
I am shocked we actually found somebody
who can leave you in the digital dust.
[SCOFFS] Do you know me?
I'm taking this challenge personally.
I expect nothing less.
Watch this.
Well, I'm happy to do whatever I can,
but the Swiss government would prefer
if they could
recover the list themselves.
Can't you force their hand?
Maybe, but they could stall
the legal proceedings.
If the Europeans recover
the list in the meantime,
I fear it could be
handed back to the bank
and disappear into a black hole.
You can't let that happen.
Who exactly is the bank
trying to protect?
From the posture the Swiss are taking,
it must be an enormous account.
I expect they could be
sitting on billions in holdings
belonging to the Underwood family.
The pharmaceutical magnates?
You think they've been hiding
their business profits overseas?
We don't think; we know.
It's like the Sacklers all over again,
except this time, we could have proof.
So capturing the fugitives
and arresting the hit man,
all that's important.
But you now have a higher priority.
I need you to get me that list.
America's interests and those of the EU
are not entirely aligned.
Once the FBI recovers the list,
we can't hand it over
to a Europol liaison.

sure the truth comes out
is to find Philippe and get
this list for ourselves.
♪
Did I interrupt something?
It's direct orders
from the DOJ, I'm sorry.
So I'm frozen out?
The AG thinks you'll hand
the list over to the Swiss
and it'll disappear.
- I wouldn't do that.
- I know.
But you have to admit, it would
be best for your brother
if this all just quietly went away.
That is not my priority.
I can be objective.
Don't shut me out, Jamie.
Look, our best chance
is for us to work together,
sharing information as a team.
This case is too important
for us to keep secrets,
and honestly, I'm running out
of people I can trust.
- You got a sec?
- Yeah.
We have an idea of how
to find our fugitive.
Great. I'm all ears.
We wanna take a run at the wife.
'Cause I got a hunch
Philippe's a classic traitor.
He's motivated by ego and money.
He's been lying all along,
having an affair
with some chick in Johannesburg,
creating this whole Robin Hood
act to justify it all.
If we can make a convincing case that
her husband betrayed her,
I think Anne-Marie
will reveal his location.
Do you have any proof?
We've got a picture of the woman
that Philippe's been cheating with.
Really?
No, I got it off the internet,
but the wife doesn't know that.
This play only works
if Philippe is a dog
and Anne-Marie is innocent.
Otherwise, this whole thing
blows up in our faces.
Philippe is a dog, trust me.
And you're on board with this?
It's risky, but I like it.
She wants to do the right thing.
Okay, give it a shot.
I brought you on this team for a reason.
♪
I know you've been
through a lot, Anne-Marie,
but there's been
a development in the case
and we need to ask you
a few more questions.
I just wanna be very clear.
We believe that you are innocent,
but your husband, he has left
you in an impossible position.
Philippe may have convinced you
of his good intentions,
but the facts say otherwise.
Those trips to Johannesburg
were all to meet this woman.
Leah Sarah.
She works at Bank Geneva's
international accounts in South Africa.
And what started as a
professional relationship
became personal.
We believe the affair
is why he never told
his colleagues he was married.
And why he planned to escape
to Johannesburg.
But he gave me the passport
to go with him.
The passport was an obvious fake.
There's no chance you were getting
out of the country, and he knew it.
His plan was to disappear
with the stolen data
and the other woman,
and leave you behind to take the fall.
And your role, unknowingly,
was to sell his story
as a whistleblower.
Why would a guy leave his wife
with no way to communicate
if it wasn't to pull a disappearing act?
I know you wanna do the right thing,
so help us bring him in.
♪
Our friends have a chalet
in the mountains.
Philippe has the keys.
It's where we were hiding and waiting
for things to cool down.
He's probably back there now
with that woman.
Uh, Ms. Garretson?
It appears our FBI friends
have a lead worth pursuing.
Is this something
I should be read in on?
The hit man's face popped up
in the FBI'S database.
They're running down a potential match.
It's a long shot, but I'll
let you know if it pans out.
Please do.
Meggy.
Okay, so what's really going on?
Not now, Chris.
Come on, Meggy,
I know when you're lying.

Okay.
We do have a lead, but I cannot

Of course.

I give up the list of clients

and $30 million.
♪
I don't think you realize
what's going down here, Philippe.
One call and you spend the
rest of your life in a Swiss prison.
You can threaten me all you want.
But you need a deal.
The Underwood family
is all over that list.
Your government wants it,
and I'm the only one
who can give it to them.
In exchange for your full cooperation,
I believe we can get you
a reduced sentence.
No jail time. None.
That's my price.
And immunity for my associate as well.
Your associate? You mean your wife?
No.
Her name is Lina Prasad.
She is a programmer from South Africa.
She'll soon be joining me here.
I knew it.
Lina is the only one who appreciated
that my security system was the
real moneymaker at the bank.
And now you expect us to pay
because the bank wouldn't.
30 million is just a drop in the bucket.
The Underwood family's
untaxed income alone
would more than pay for my finder's fee.
So your video about doing this
for the greater good,
that was all just talk?
You are only here because
your government wants their cut.
Same with the Swiss.
Why should I be the
only one in the system
that is not getting rewarded?
I was told Mr. Hess
wants to see me immediately.
Thank you.
Please, come sit.
[TENSE MUSIC]
I think I'll stand.
Very well.
I've been informed that
you've been holding out on us.
The FBI has located Philippe Morand.
If you are unwilling
to share his location,
I will have no choice
but to report your misconduct
to Europol and consider charges
for obstruction of justice.
Are you sure that's what you want?
More eyes on the bank.
I'm not the one covering up
the truth, and you know it.
Meggy, wait. Please, I can explain.
What did they offer you? Another car?
What is the going rate
for selling out your sister?
I never meant to hurt you.
There is still a way out of this.
All you have to do is tell them.
Why make this hard?
Because I am trying to do what's right.
Okay. That's not really an option.
The Americans are just
gonna cut Philippe a deal
and let him walk away. You know that.
The FBI doesn't wanna pay off Philippe.
So why don't you testify
against the bank instead?
Philippe may not be a hero,
but you could be.
How?
Think about it you know
who most of the clients are.
If you flip on the bank, we can bust
the tax evaders they're protecting
and put the bank robber in jail.
With everything out in the open,
the Swiss government will have
no choice but to prosecute.
And as a bonus, your sister
doesn't lose her career.
If I expose the bank,
they'll blow up my entire life.
They're ruthless.
Cozying up to them doesn't change that.
I have bent over backwards
for you so many times.
Please.
Do this for me.
I want to. I do.
But I'd lose everything.

Yes, we did.

Yeah, my parents cared.
They were always shoving
their noses in my business.
Everything from what
I studied, who I dated.
Every single choice I made,
they had to have a hand in it.
In the end, I only resented them for it.

reading the paper
tomorrow morning, I take it.
Definitely not.

Well done.

Europol puts a bank robber behind bars,
