Law & Order: Criminal Intent (2001) s09e01 Episode Script
Loyalty (1)
In New York City's war on crime, the worst criminal offenders are pursued By the detectives of the major case squad.
These are their stories.
- You see them? - Yeah.
- Full speed, 0-4-5.
Pirates, starboard.
Pirates! [alarm buzzing.]
- Over there.
- Return to port.
- [speaking russian.]
[men speaking russian.]
- [indistinct shouting.]
- all right, get ready.
Let's go.
[machine gun fire.]
- Up! Up! Shoot! Shoot! - Ahh! - [pained groan.]
[gunfire.]
[all cheering.]
[gunfire.]
[cheers and applause.]
- Thank you for coming, everybody.
Please enjoy.
- You've mastered the art of turning work into pleasure.
- [chuckles.]
don't forget profit.
Ten people, $70,000 apiece.
I can book two of these pirate safaris a month.
- Let's move on to bigger things.
- You have found someone clean? - Squeaks.
A new york city police captain.
- And he's willing? - Willing to listen.
Struggling to recover from a nasty divorce.
- He's got my sympathy.
- Tragic.
Our father, his bride, killed on the boat.
- I feel sadness, although I barely knew him.
In boarding school, I remember, for occupation of father, I put king.
- He was a sheik.
- But who knows what that is, Or what he did? His death means the fun is over for you, hassan.
It's time to pray and seek guidance.
- Remember how commissioner ray kelly created An effective law enforcement agency in haiti? That's what we want for northern somalia.
An area called puntland.
- What you're asking might be impossible.
- Aren't most things simply a matter of funding? Puntland's current government borders on anarchy.
Warlords rule.
- And pirates.
- You can turn that around with the latest weapons And technology.
- Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang! - Stop it.
That's awful.
Where are we going tonight? Sub By: Adriano_CSI - People saw her from the bridge.
The calls started at daybreak.
- So she floated in? - No footprints when we got here.
- Her skin's abraded from the barnacles on those pilings.
- Small -caliber entry.
No exit.
No significant abdominal distention.
Just enough gas to make her float.
- So it might have happened last night.
- Well, she spared no expense on her undies--la perla.
- Or this, if it's real.
- Well, she's had high maintenance.
She's got a great dye job by a skilled colorist, First-rate veneers on her teeth, Some cosmetic work on her chin.
- Well, this is cheap sari cloth.
Like, 20 bucks on canal street.
It's a glitch in her fashion statement.
- Right, if it's hers.
- So having her wear it might have had significance To her killer.
[cell phone rings.]
- Yeah? Okay, we'll get there.
We have a middle-aged white male, Single shot to the head.
Found by fishermen off of governor's island.
- Big diamond on her And a very nice watch on him.
- I guess the killer wants us to know It's not about money.
- So john and jane doe, both of apparent means, Are shot execution style and dumped in the east river.
- Prints have gone to the fbi, and the m.
E.
Is doing Complete dental x-rays.
- The watch looked unique to me.
I checked it out.
It's called a sky moon tourbillon.
Now, you can only buy those in person From patek philippe in geneva.
- Well, maybe a limited client list Will give us an I.
D.
-- What do they cost? - They're over a million dollars.
- Over a million for a watch? Well, whatever he did, he's obviously done Far better than I've done.
- Rodgers is ready.
- Both shot with a .
22 hollow point.
His case, the bullet bounced around inside his skull And broke into pieces.
Hers lodged in the mastoid bone.
- So with luck we might get lands and grooves.
- I'm placing time of death around 11:00 p.
M.
, Shortly after they shared a lavish last meal-- Caviar au blini.
He drank more wine.
I'm guessing a sancerre.
- [sniffs.]
Too yeasty.
I'll go with champagne.
- Who argues with an expert? - Caviar au blini-- aren't there a limited number Of restaurants who would even serve that? - Five -star dining, But it could also have been a high-end dinner party Or a diplomatic function.
- She has breast implants.
- I know.
And they have serial numbers.
- Yes.
- You saw the chin? That was a custom piece, Not something out of a box.
People think that you just poke a hole And put in a jelly bag.
That doesn't give you these beauties.
This is art.
- So marya onegin, 29.
Is this 23rd street address still current? - No, I ran into her about a month ago in baretta.
She introduced me to this older guy as her fiance.
Said they were living on park and 63rd.
- Seems like your work did her some good.
- Yeah, big rock on her hand.
He was buying her top-of-the-line safari gear.
- This him? - Yeah.
- Safari gear? - Said they were heading to africa, big game.
- So what do you know of your great -grandfather, Sayyid abdullah hassan? - Only that he was called the mad mullah.
- He defeated the british.
To discredit him, they dubbed him mad.
- I have much to learn, and I must do it quickly.
- I will give you the poems of abdullah hassan.
Ah.
So you will know of your heritage.
You have read the koran? - In english.
- Ah, english.
[speaking arabic.]
Don't worry, I will help you.
- Sorry I took so long.
- No problem.
Is everything good? Can they arrange a memorial service? If there's anything I can do - Jill, would you be offended if I can't invite you? - Family, don't worry.
I get it.
- Small coffee.
Thank you.
We have an I.
D.
On our male victim's prints.
- Taras broidy, Born in 1956 in lausanne, switzerland.
Why are these files redacted? - There's a pending federal indictment.
Luckily, the memo was probably pigeonholed And didn't reach all agencies.
- All right, looks like they've been looking at him Since 2005 For illegal weapons trading.
But every record's been redacted.
- Yeah, I'll call judge shrum, get a warrant.
- No, we should tell ross.
- But the fbi memo shows they copied him On broidy's identification.
He knew it before we did.
- Well, why didn't he tell us? - He might have other things on his mind.
- Other things, like what? - I saw him when I finished running.
Uh, he was with a woman.
Our captain might be getting his life together.
- So he's getting involved with someone? - Seemed at ease with someone Who happens to be very attractive.
- I could've come to manhattan.
- For exploring employment opportunities, Nothing tops fresh air and privacy.
- Understood.
- I'm on board, Pending a certain detail.
- The money? - You're asking that I spend years In a place that's hardly a garden spot.
- I'm authorized to offer 2 million For a two-year contract.
- Plus travel and all expenses.
- Of course.
And a perk, For r&r.
Would you like to be paid foreign? - Can't do me much good.
Swiss banks no longer have secrecy laws.
- Cook islands trusts are inviolate.
- Cook islands trusts? - We know all the tricks.
- At the risk of seeming too eager I've sold my soul.
- Gold -plated land mine.
Taras broidy wasn't exactly ashamed of what he did.
- Not ashamed of the company he kept either-- Omar bongo, Charles taylor, african dictators, Radovan karadzic, war criminal.
- She looks a bit more wholesome.
Could be his daughter.
The castle in the background looks like England.
- Looks like she dressed for fox hunting.
Picture was taken over four years ago.
They banned fox hunting in England, 2005.
Looks like someone was putting together An album of their recent travels.
- Between hard rounds in bed-- Vasodilators, cocaine residue.
- What's going on here? What's happened? Where's my father? - Your flight got in at 8:00.
- I was in scotland visiting my mom.
She doesn't like me calling him when I'm with her.
- So I assume it was an acrimonious divorce.
- I think that's kind of personal.
- He was with a much younger woman.
- If she wasn't dead, I'd think she did it.
- Marya? What made her so bad? - It was so obvious the way she worked him.
She wanted him in her idea of society-- Shallow nouveau riche.
My dad wasn't ashamed of what he was.
- But she was ashamed? - Yeah.
Dad found the weapons, made the sales.
- This is almost a depiction of the sword of damocles.
Is there any significance? - Damocles security was the name of dad's security company.
- He owned a security company? Did he have bodyguards? - Always.
You can check with his partner.
- I always thought that taras would keep At least one of his nine lives in reserve.
I've seen him in vile african backwaters, Arguing with qat-crazed warlords For the last penny on an arms sale.
He always come out unscathed with a big bag of money.
- We think his clear and present danger Was closer to home.
- Oh.
Have you established a time of death? I'll be happy to provide an alibi.
- That certain you'll have one? - I'm rarely alone.
- Which begs the question, Where was broidy's personal security? W! - He was very casual about that.
- That's not what we've heard.
- From jolie? Yes, of course he had protection around her.
He was frightened she's be kidnapped.
With marya, it was quite he opposite.
- Opposite how? - Well, she was 30 years his junior, Surround her with strapping, young security men-- I leave the rest to your imagination.
- This recent? - Vacation on the red sea.
- That's an m240 machine gun.
That's an odd choice for a vacation cruise.
- Some people like to shoot skeet off their yachts.
Taras liked to test his toys.
- What's the line of succession here at damocles security? - Please, my dear friend has not yet been buried.
- So when you, you know, overcome your grief, Mr.
Van dekker, who is it That takes over the empire here? Is that you? - There are no silent partners.
- So the search of the victim's apartment Brought in a lot of material.
We're gonna need time to work through it all.
- Also we need a warrant for damocles security.
Jan van dekker, the man who ran it for broidy, Is a former mercenary.
- Did you note that the fbi file on taras broidy Was redacted? - Yeah, so I went to the atf database.
- Those files were redacted for a valid reason.
- Right.
There's a rico investigation.
- Yes, they want a moratorium on this.
- Okay, we've been in these situations before.
We'll keep a low investigative profile.
- I want no profile.
I'm honoring the fbi's request.
- But it's a double homicide.
We've fought jurisdictional battles before and won.
- We wait for the rico indictment, And the case will grow cold.
- I'm not contesting jurisdiction.
No more warrants.
No interviews.
- Well, do we have a name? Who's in charge of this case for the feds? - You don't need to know that.
- To whom do we address our files? - Organize everything, put it on my desk.
I'll see that they get it.
- Were you waiting for what I was waiting for? - Yeah, you mean a wink and a nod, Tells us to proceed with the case? - What is this? - What? - You'd better see this.
I've been going through the emails From taras broidy's home computer.
- Ross told us we should have Everything on his desk by the end of the day.
- Yeah, I know.
"two mil for two years.
Ross approved.
" So what is this? - An email from loftin to broidy.
- Is there any other mention of this ross? - No.
The other emails are all about some aircraft.
Well We'll ask him about it.
- Yeah.
So who's this roy loftin? - Um The fbi looked at loftin As the weapons transport person.
- Rents hangar space at patterson airport.
[indistinct chatter.]
- Wait a minute.
Excuse me.
- Yeah? This is so great.
I came here to see an antonov 124.
You're mr.
Loftin.
- Yes.
What is this about? - You bought an an -225 in kazakhstan last year.
I mean, most people get them For the six ivchenko turbo fans, right? I mean [imitates plane engine.]
Right? Talk about power.
- I'm not running an air museum.
What is all this about? - Well, I know that you're not running an air museum.
You have troop carriers with weapons capability.
I mean, this is clearly something else.
- Hey.
Is this about broidy? Are you a cop? - Broidy was your partner.
- He was.
I'd like to see some I.
D.
What department are you with? - Why would that matter? - I can go above your head.
The fact that you won't say answers my question.
- Which answers my question, Which brings another question to mind.
Who would you go to? - Yeah, I have an unauthorized person in our hangar area.
No, he refused.
- They look fine.
- Just fine? - Well, you look more than fine.
- Kadra, perfect timing.
Now I can finish my work.
- You told me you were going to be fair.
It's obvious you said nothing.
- When the time is right.
- I know it's hard-- Those perfect legs, long blonde hair.
But it's no longer a matter of choice.
She cannot be a part of things.
- Like I don't know that.
[cell phone rings.]
- Kadra, can you give me a hand? - Hello.
- Sure, jill.
- So then we'll have to take action.
- Seems like you made a decent start.
I can read the look.
It's hard being pulled off a case.
- Yeah, there's that.
There's also a lot of questions.
- I'm sure there are.
Right now I can't give you any assurances.
Anything else? - No.
Nothing.
- That's for you.
[silenced gunfire.]
- Ah! [cell phone rings and vibrates.]
[beep.]
- Eames.
Oh, my god.
- I saw him before the fbi got here.
A small caliber-- I can't believe this.
No, they won't let you in there.
- What? - They have their own people-- - Hey, I'm with major case.
You cannot-- You cannot keep us out of a crime scene.
Hey! - Detectives, I'm agent stahl.
I'm in charge here.
- Hey, you heard agent stahl.
- You listen to me.
That's our captain over there.
- Your captain was killed working a federal assignment.
You know the law.
- Yeah, working with you.
- I've said all you need to know.
- I saw you with him.
- He was undercover.
I was his contact.
- Oh.
- So we lost him on your rico case? - Look, we don't have to tell you anything.
Do I have to get someone from your commissioner's office here? - This is not about cop/fed politics.
He was our friend.
- About a week ago, your captain was contacted By a man named roy loftin with a job offer.
- We know roy loftin Was involved with taras broidy's weapons trading.
- Yeah, he knew we were looking at both men, So when the call came to him, he called us.
- What was the job offer? - Setting up a police force in northern somalia.
We told him to go along with it.
- A cover for a weapons deal? - Possibly related to something bigger, But I'm not gonna get into it.
- So he backed us off broidy's homicide To protect your operation? - And that still holds.
We can't allow a police investigation To compete with our own.
- Nobody regrets more than we do-- - Oh, come on with the regrets! You can't keep us from there! We do what our boss tells us.
You're not our boss.
Our boss is over there.
You're not stopping us.
- I think our investigation got him killed.
- No.
Our suspicions? - I ambushed loftin at his hangar, And I think he read me for a cop.
- Well, we don't have time for you to torture yourself.
We have to beat the fbi to his files.
[typing.]
- Okay, so here's his first email about the offer.
And there's an even bigger one here.
The easiest thing would be to just take the hard drive-- - I wouldn't do that.
- Zack.
- There's a question about the legality Of downloading information.
But taking that hard drive, that's theft.
- We're not asking you to share the risk.
- I just spent the last hour trying unsuccessfully To console danny's sister.
He was my former partner.
Enough said? - Then maybe you could nd a screwdriver? - Here, here's a 16 -gig flash drive.
You can download everything.
Plus, look.
Look what's going on here.
You've made a mess.
- Fine.
Let's clean up.
We'll fill you in.
- We got financial records here.
"set up law enforcement agency.
Spare no expense.
" - So they have major backing.
That means a possible money trail.
- A new york city police captain? - Russell, we were all caught off guard, But you have total deniability.
- Do you realize the stink that this will cause? I mean, I'm okay with chaos in some lawless foreign setting, But this is where I live, where my family lives.
This is an outrage.
- It in no way impacts you, nor will it ever.
- But it happened.
All that money? - But our side wasn't involved.
Things are set to move very fast now.
- How? Without the police captain, You've lost the potential to legally ship those weapons.
- There was always a plan "b" just as effective.
- More costly no doubt.
- But that'll be absorbed by the other side.
What happened was not a matter of choice for us.
- You said the same thing about broidy and that woman.
- Again, it all comes from the other side.
We're not dealing with people like us.
- Move things along.
Oh, and don't contact me.
- Okay.
Why do you suppose the fbi sent our captain ross These articles from a djibouti newspaper? - I saw them, but I don't speak french.
- I was able to stagger through.
It's about a local sheik Lost at sea between djibouti and somalia.
- Found these pictures in broidy's apartment.
It's van dekker and broidy On an armed yacht in the red sea.
Djibouti's between somalia and the red sea.
- This man's a sheik? - Yeah.
- And who's this woman? - It's his new bride.
But what's the connection? - Well, I'd say this.
This was wrapped around the neck Of taras broidy's mistress.
And the sheik's wife is wearing it.
- Do you know this guy? - Hmm, no, I don't.
- Heads up.
He's coming this way.
- It's awfully tidy in there.
I'm lieutenant stanley maas.
Chief of ds sent me to maintain order.
Now, I know you searched, Because that's what I would have done.
What did you find? - We haven't had time to process anything.
- We were told at the crime scene that the fbi Has jurisdiction over our captain's death.
- Huh.
Well, I haven't gotten that memo.
And until I do, this belongs to major case, So pull warrants, whatever it takes.
- You want to try it? Airport's only 20 minutes away.
- It's not something I intend to use.
- Simply a marvelous commodity That will buy you the loyalty Of every warlord and terrorist in north somalia.
- Are you suggesting I limit my scope? - Hassan, as your father's eldest, It's in my interest to see you controlling The entire horn of africa.
- And the mineral rights of hamadi.
Let's see, you have copper in katanga, Blood diamonds in guinea.
Always something, isn't it? - Globalization.
- What's this? - Battery pack.
Check that date.
It was serviced less than three weeks ago.
- That matters.
Limited battery life is the weapon's single weakness.
You can't just run down to radio shack To replace them.
- These were stolen in transit returning from iraq? - On their way to a depot in virginia.
The soldiers guarding the convoy Were getting drunk at a truck stop.
- Why replace the batteries If they were headed for storage? - Someone bought a lot of hookers for pentagon brass And won a contract to replace all fim-92 batteries.
Why argue with a good thing? - Feel the potential.
- It's heavy.
- Not for what it delivers.
Within three miles of any aircraft, Point and shoot.
It's a certain kill.
- Ready for a taste? - Lock in on the fire.
Now point straight up.
No need to aim.
It will read the heat from the flames and home in.
Fire.
Well done.
- Yeah! - A natural, hassan.
- Very nice.
- Bloody natural.
- Excuse me, sir.
You can't go in there.
- Hello.
This is a warrant relating to a series of killings.
- Including murder on the high seas.
- The horn of africa is hardly within your jurisdiction.
- Why don't you explain it, zack? - Yeah, it's interesting.
A law that's been on the books since george washington Allows for the prosecution of pirates Wherever they're apprehended.
- That would be here and now.
- [sighs.]
- Detective.
- Look what we found.
- [clinks handcuffs.]
So booked for piracy-- Actually a first for me.
Mozambique, congo, liberia.
This guy's fought everywhere.
- Plus two years on a chain gang in equatorial guinea.
So much for the threat of hard time.
- Typical fearlessness of a psychopath.
- Hmm.
I see a little boy in a soldier suit-- A narcissist, desperate, craving self-aggrandizement.
- You puff him up.
- No problem.
I'm a hemingway fan.
- This guy plays his character to the hilt.
- Mm -hmm, till you come in, Cut him down.
What do we use? - I sent the gun from the search to fbi forensics.
Maybe we'll get a match.
- Fbi forensics.
Why them? - Their lab's the last place they'll look.
- Headquarters says they can have A federal attorney and six marshals here Within the hour.
- With all the paperwork done, "I"s dotted, "t"s crossed.
I want loaded dice for these pricks.
- Look, this is so-- This is-- this is just amazing.
You're not afraid of diseases or anything like that? - What? - You know, all those bugs.
The "cee zee" fly.
- [chuckles.]
tsetse fly.
- I could never go there.
That's definitely not my-- my thing.
And--and, oh, yes, This luxury yacht that you're on Is such a major contradiction.
- Contradiction? - Well, you know, I mean, You're the real deal.
But here you are with rich tourists On a luxury yacht shooting at unarmed boats.
- No, I told you, we didn't shoot at boats.
- Yeah.
And, um, from broidy's camera, You with otar tenishvilli.
He's a russian oilman.
That's not your kinda guy.
- How do you mean? - He's paunchy.
No--no stones.
When they grab otar for piracy, He'll sell you out.
Isn't that how you ended up on a chain gang In equatorial guinea? The rich backers bailed, And that's when the coup went bad? - It's called professional risk.
- Ah! - Here's-- here's hard evidence From this woman murdered on the high seas.
- [chuckles.]
What woman? Where's the body? Feel like a bit of lunch.
- We will have transport, a livestock plane, Expensive but-- - Seems too easy.
I just hope when you ship the weapons The americans won't interfere.
- It's been their plan all along.
Maybe they arranged this plane.
- In somalia, you can dismantle the gps.
- Or not.
- And I once worried My brother is not ruthless enough to rule.
- Did you get the ballistics? - Yes and something else.
- The fiery worm of moses lays under your skin, Devouring you like a living varicose vein.
Old fundis know how to wind it out on a stick.
- It's a guinea worm.
It's rampant in the great sudd, The marshlands of the nile.
- He knows geography, very remote.
- Place might suit you right about now.
- The great sudd beats a hangar in jersey.
- Our paperwork is all in order.
- Nobody moves until I've read this.
- Read fast.
- I told you.
I only knew loftin through our business.
- Were you unhappy with the way he conducted business? - From a security camera in the place Where loftin was shot.
The car is registered to damocles security.
- Equatorial guinea all over again.
- You know I couldn't have done this.
I've been in custody.
- There's a match From the gun found in your offices To the bullet found in captain ross.
- That was planted.
- He could be right.
The gun, the car.
I think he's more savvy than that.
- There's currently a moratorium On capital punishment.
At least you won't end up like this.
- Van dekker? You know what we want.
- Killing of your captain was stupid.
I wasn't part of it.
Look, for me right now, it's all about survival, The right deal.
But before I discuss it, I want a higher authority here-- A district attorney.
- We can do that.
- Okay, this stops right now.
- They've got us.
Paperwork is in order.
He goes into their custody.
- This is just great.
You realize he was about to cooperate with us, right? - So we'll get him there too.
- And then he'll jump bail.
He'll leave the country, Or get killed, or both.
- I told you about bigger priorities.
- Our captain is dead.
That's a big priority to us.
- Detective! No.
Not worth it.
The gun will still work for us.
- Yeah, yeah.
- When he clears federal arraignment, We can re-arrest on a different charge.
- If he's alive.
Broidy's dead, loftin's dead.
Van dekker's next.
Who's running this show? - Yeah, we're a long way from knowing that.
These are their stories.
- You see them? - Yeah.
- Full speed, 0-4-5.
Pirates, starboard.
Pirates! [alarm buzzing.]
- Over there.
- Return to port.
- [speaking russian.]
[men speaking russian.]
- [indistinct shouting.]
- all right, get ready.
Let's go.
[machine gun fire.]
- Up! Up! Shoot! Shoot! - Ahh! - [pained groan.]
[gunfire.]
[all cheering.]
[gunfire.]
[cheers and applause.]
- Thank you for coming, everybody.
Please enjoy.
- You've mastered the art of turning work into pleasure.
- [chuckles.]
don't forget profit.
Ten people, $70,000 apiece.
I can book two of these pirate safaris a month.
- Let's move on to bigger things.
- You have found someone clean? - Squeaks.
A new york city police captain.
- And he's willing? - Willing to listen.
Struggling to recover from a nasty divorce.
- He's got my sympathy.
- Tragic.
Our father, his bride, killed on the boat.
- I feel sadness, although I barely knew him.
In boarding school, I remember, for occupation of father, I put king.
- He was a sheik.
- But who knows what that is, Or what he did? His death means the fun is over for you, hassan.
It's time to pray and seek guidance.
- Remember how commissioner ray kelly created An effective law enforcement agency in haiti? That's what we want for northern somalia.
An area called puntland.
- What you're asking might be impossible.
- Aren't most things simply a matter of funding? Puntland's current government borders on anarchy.
Warlords rule.
- And pirates.
- You can turn that around with the latest weapons And technology.
- Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang! - Stop it.
That's awful.
Where are we going tonight? Sub By: Adriano_CSI - People saw her from the bridge.
The calls started at daybreak.
- So she floated in? - No footprints when we got here.
- Her skin's abraded from the barnacles on those pilings.
- Small -caliber entry.
No exit.
No significant abdominal distention.
Just enough gas to make her float.
- So it might have happened last night.
- Well, she spared no expense on her undies--la perla.
- Or this, if it's real.
- Well, she's had high maintenance.
She's got a great dye job by a skilled colorist, First-rate veneers on her teeth, Some cosmetic work on her chin.
- Well, this is cheap sari cloth.
Like, 20 bucks on canal street.
It's a glitch in her fashion statement.
- Right, if it's hers.
- So having her wear it might have had significance To her killer.
[cell phone rings.]
- Yeah? Okay, we'll get there.
We have a middle-aged white male, Single shot to the head.
Found by fishermen off of governor's island.
- Big diamond on her And a very nice watch on him.
- I guess the killer wants us to know It's not about money.
- So john and jane doe, both of apparent means, Are shot execution style and dumped in the east river.
- Prints have gone to the fbi, and the m.
E.
Is doing Complete dental x-rays.
- The watch looked unique to me.
I checked it out.
It's called a sky moon tourbillon.
Now, you can only buy those in person From patek philippe in geneva.
- Well, maybe a limited client list Will give us an I.
D.
-- What do they cost? - They're over a million dollars.
- Over a million for a watch? Well, whatever he did, he's obviously done Far better than I've done.
- Rodgers is ready.
- Both shot with a .
22 hollow point.
His case, the bullet bounced around inside his skull And broke into pieces.
Hers lodged in the mastoid bone.
- So with luck we might get lands and grooves.
- I'm placing time of death around 11:00 p.
M.
, Shortly after they shared a lavish last meal-- Caviar au blini.
He drank more wine.
I'm guessing a sancerre.
- [sniffs.]
Too yeasty.
I'll go with champagne.
- Who argues with an expert? - Caviar au blini-- aren't there a limited number Of restaurants who would even serve that? - Five -star dining, But it could also have been a high-end dinner party Or a diplomatic function.
- She has breast implants.
- I know.
And they have serial numbers.
- Yes.
- You saw the chin? That was a custom piece, Not something out of a box.
People think that you just poke a hole And put in a jelly bag.
That doesn't give you these beauties.
This is art.
- So marya onegin, 29.
Is this 23rd street address still current? - No, I ran into her about a month ago in baretta.
She introduced me to this older guy as her fiance.
Said they were living on park and 63rd.
- Seems like your work did her some good.
- Yeah, big rock on her hand.
He was buying her top-of-the-line safari gear.
- This him? - Yeah.
- Safari gear? - Said they were heading to africa, big game.
- So what do you know of your great -grandfather, Sayyid abdullah hassan? - Only that he was called the mad mullah.
- He defeated the british.
To discredit him, they dubbed him mad.
- I have much to learn, and I must do it quickly.
- I will give you the poems of abdullah hassan.
Ah.
So you will know of your heritage.
You have read the koran? - In english.
- Ah, english.
[speaking arabic.]
Don't worry, I will help you.
- Sorry I took so long.
- No problem.
Is everything good? Can they arrange a memorial service? If there's anything I can do - Jill, would you be offended if I can't invite you? - Family, don't worry.
I get it.
- Small coffee.
Thank you.
We have an I.
D.
On our male victim's prints.
- Taras broidy, Born in 1956 in lausanne, switzerland.
Why are these files redacted? - There's a pending federal indictment.
Luckily, the memo was probably pigeonholed And didn't reach all agencies.
- All right, looks like they've been looking at him Since 2005 For illegal weapons trading.
But every record's been redacted.
- Yeah, I'll call judge shrum, get a warrant.
- No, we should tell ross.
- But the fbi memo shows they copied him On broidy's identification.
He knew it before we did.
- Well, why didn't he tell us? - He might have other things on his mind.
- Other things, like what? - I saw him when I finished running.
Uh, he was with a woman.
Our captain might be getting his life together.
- So he's getting involved with someone? - Seemed at ease with someone Who happens to be very attractive.
- I could've come to manhattan.
- For exploring employment opportunities, Nothing tops fresh air and privacy.
- Understood.
- I'm on board, Pending a certain detail.
- The money? - You're asking that I spend years In a place that's hardly a garden spot.
- I'm authorized to offer 2 million For a two-year contract.
- Plus travel and all expenses.
- Of course.
And a perk, For r&r.
Would you like to be paid foreign? - Can't do me much good.
Swiss banks no longer have secrecy laws.
- Cook islands trusts are inviolate.
- Cook islands trusts? - We know all the tricks.
- At the risk of seeming too eager I've sold my soul.
- Gold -plated land mine.
Taras broidy wasn't exactly ashamed of what he did.
- Not ashamed of the company he kept either-- Omar bongo, Charles taylor, african dictators, Radovan karadzic, war criminal.
- She looks a bit more wholesome.
Could be his daughter.
The castle in the background looks like England.
- Looks like she dressed for fox hunting.
Picture was taken over four years ago.
They banned fox hunting in England, 2005.
Looks like someone was putting together An album of their recent travels.
- Between hard rounds in bed-- Vasodilators, cocaine residue.
- What's going on here? What's happened? Where's my father? - Your flight got in at 8:00.
- I was in scotland visiting my mom.
She doesn't like me calling him when I'm with her.
- So I assume it was an acrimonious divorce.
- I think that's kind of personal.
- He was with a much younger woman.
- If she wasn't dead, I'd think she did it.
- Marya? What made her so bad? - It was so obvious the way she worked him.
She wanted him in her idea of society-- Shallow nouveau riche.
My dad wasn't ashamed of what he was.
- But she was ashamed? - Yeah.
Dad found the weapons, made the sales.
- This is almost a depiction of the sword of damocles.
Is there any significance? - Damocles security was the name of dad's security company.
- He owned a security company? Did he have bodyguards? - Always.
You can check with his partner.
- I always thought that taras would keep At least one of his nine lives in reserve.
I've seen him in vile african backwaters, Arguing with qat-crazed warlords For the last penny on an arms sale.
He always come out unscathed with a big bag of money.
- We think his clear and present danger Was closer to home.
- Oh.
Have you established a time of death? I'll be happy to provide an alibi.
- That certain you'll have one? - I'm rarely alone.
- Which begs the question, Where was broidy's personal security? W! - He was very casual about that.
- That's not what we've heard.
- From jolie? Yes, of course he had protection around her.
He was frightened she's be kidnapped.
With marya, it was quite he opposite.
- Opposite how? - Well, she was 30 years his junior, Surround her with strapping, young security men-- I leave the rest to your imagination.
- This recent? - Vacation on the red sea.
- That's an m240 machine gun.
That's an odd choice for a vacation cruise.
- Some people like to shoot skeet off their yachts.
Taras liked to test his toys.
- What's the line of succession here at damocles security? - Please, my dear friend has not yet been buried.
- So when you, you know, overcome your grief, Mr.
Van dekker, who is it That takes over the empire here? Is that you? - There are no silent partners.
- So the search of the victim's apartment Brought in a lot of material.
We're gonna need time to work through it all.
- Also we need a warrant for damocles security.
Jan van dekker, the man who ran it for broidy, Is a former mercenary.
- Did you note that the fbi file on taras broidy Was redacted? - Yeah, so I went to the atf database.
- Those files were redacted for a valid reason.
- Right.
There's a rico investigation.
- Yes, they want a moratorium on this.
- Okay, we've been in these situations before.
We'll keep a low investigative profile.
- I want no profile.
I'm honoring the fbi's request.
- But it's a double homicide.
We've fought jurisdictional battles before and won.
- We wait for the rico indictment, And the case will grow cold.
- I'm not contesting jurisdiction.
No more warrants.
No interviews.
- Well, do we have a name? Who's in charge of this case for the feds? - You don't need to know that.
- To whom do we address our files? - Organize everything, put it on my desk.
I'll see that they get it.
- Were you waiting for what I was waiting for? - Yeah, you mean a wink and a nod, Tells us to proceed with the case? - What is this? - What? - You'd better see this.
I've been going through the emails From taras broidy's home computer.
- Ross told us we should have Everything on his desk by the end of the day.
- Yeah, I know.
"two mil for two years.
Ross approved.
" So what is this? - An email from loftin to broidy.
- Is there any other mention of this ross? - No.
The other emails are all about some aircraft.
Well We'll ask him about it.
- Yeah.
So who's this roy loftin? - Um The fbi looked at loftin As the weapons transport person.
- Rents hangar space at patterson airport.
[indistinct chatter.]
- Wait a minute.
Excuse me.
- Yeah? This is so great.
I came here to see an antonov 124.
You're mr.
Loftin.
- Yes.
What is this about? - You bought an an -225 in kazakhstan last year.
I mean, most people get them For the six ivchenko turbo fans, right? I mean [imitates plane engine.]
Right? Talk about power.
- I'm not running an air museum.
What is all this about? - Well, I know that you're not running an air museum.
You have troop carriers with weapons capability.
I mean, this is clearly something else.
- Hey.
Is this about broidy? Are you a cop? - Broidy was your partner.
- He was.
I'd like to see some I.
D.
What department are you with? - Why would that matter? - I can go above your head.
The fact that you won't say answers my question.
- Which answers my question, Which brings another question to mind.
Who would you go to? - Yeah, I have an unauthorized person in our hangar area.
No, he refused.
- They look fine.
- Just fine? - Well, you look more than fine.
- Kadra, perfect timing.
Now I can finish my work.
- You told me you were going to be fair.
It's obvious you said nothing.
- When the time is right.
- I know it's hard-- Those perfect legs, long blonde hair.
But it's no longer a matter of choice.
She cannot be a part of things.
- Like I don't know that.
[cell phone rings.]
- Kadra, can you give me a hand? - Hello.
- Sure, jill.
- So then we'll have to take action.
- Seems like you made a decent start.
I can read the look.
It's hard being pulled off a case.
- Yeah, there's that.
There's also a lot of questions.
- I'm sure there are.
Right now I can't give you any assurances.
Anything else? - No.
Nothing.
- That's for you.
[silenced gunfire.]
- Ah! [cell phone rings and vibrates.]
[beep.]
- Eames.
Oh, my god.
- I saw him before the fbi got here.
A small caliber-- I can't believe this.
No, they won't let you in there.
- What? - They have their own people-- - Hey, I'm with major case.
You cannot-- You cannot keep us out of a crime scene.
Hey! - Detectives, I'm agent stahl.
I'm in charge here.
- Hey, you heard agent stahl.
- You listen to me.
That's our captain over there.
- Your captain was killed working a federal assignment.
You know the law.
- Yeah, working with you.
- I've said all you need to know.
- I saw you with him.
- He was undercover.
I was his contact.
- Oh.
- So we lost him on your rico case? - Look, we don't have to tell you anything.
Do I have to get someone from your commissioner's office here? - This is not about cop/fed politics.
He was our friend.
- About a week ago, your captain was contacted By a man named roy loftin with a job offer.
- We know roy loftin Was involved with taras broidy's weapons trading.
- Yeah, he knew we were looking at both men, So when the call came to him, he called us.
- What was the job offer? - Setting up a police force in northern somalia.
We told him to go along with it.
- A cover for a weapons deal? - Possibly related to something bigger, But I'm not gonna get into it.
- So he backed us off broidy's homicide To protect your operation? - And that still holds.
We can't allow a police investigation To compete with our own.
- Nobody regrets more than we do-- - Oh, come on with the regrets! You can't keep us from there! We do what our boss tells us.
You're not our boss.
Our boss is over there.
You're not stopping us.
- I think our investigation got him killed.
- No.
Our suspicions? - I ambushed loftin at his hangar, And I think he read me for a cop.
- Well, we don't have time for you to torture yourself.
We have to beat the fbi to his files.
[typing.]
- Okay, so here's his first email about the offer.
And there's an even bigger one here.
The easiest thing would be to just take the hard drive-- - I wouldn't do that.
- Zack.
- There's a question about the legality Of downloading information.
But taking that hard drive, that's theft.
- We're not asking you to share the risk.
- I just spent the last hour trying unsuccessfully To console danny's sister.
He was my former partner.
Enough said? - Then maybe you could nd a screwdriver? - Here, here's a 16 -gig flash drive.
You can download everything.
Plus, look.
Look what's going on here.
You've made a mess.
- Fine.
Let's clean up.
We'll fill you in.
- We got financial records here.
"set up law enforcement agency.
Spare no expense.
" - So they have major backing.
That means a possible money trail.
- A new york city police captain? - Russell, we were all caught off guard, But you have total deniability.
- Do you realize the stink that this will cause? I mean, I'm okay with chaos in some lawless foreign setting, But this is where I live, where my family lives.
This is an outrage.
- It in no way impacts you, nor will it ever.
- But it happened.
All that money? - But our side wasn't involved.
Things are set to move very fast now.
- How? Without the police captain, You've lost the potential to legally ship those weapons.
- There was always a plan "b" just as effective.
- More costly no doubt.
- But that'll be absorbed by the other side.
What happened was not a matter of choice for us.
- You said the same thing about broidy and that woman.
- Again, it all comes from the other side.
We're not dealing with people like us.
- Move things along.
Oh, and don't contact me.
- Okay.
Why do you suppose the fbi sent our captain ross These articles from a djibouti newspaper? - I saw them, but I don't speak french.
- I was able to stagger through.
It's about a local sheik Lost at sea between djibouti and somalia.
- Found these pictures in broidy's apartment.
It's van dekker and broidy On an armed yacht in the red sea.
Djibouti's between somalia and the red sea.
- This man's a sheik? - Yeah.
- And who's this woman? - It's his new bride.
But what's the connection? - Well, I'd say this.
This was wrapped around the neck Of taras broidy's mistress.
And the sheik's wife is wearing it.
- Do you know this guy? - Hmm, no, I don't.
- Heads up.
He's coming this way.
- It's awfully tidy in there.
I'm lieutenant stanley maas.
Chief of ds sent me to maintain order.
Now, I know you searched, Because that's what I would have done.
What did you find? - We haven't had time to process anything.
- We were told at the crime scene that the fbi Has jurisdiction over our captain's death.
- Huh.
Well, I haven't gotten that memo.
And until I do, this belongs to major case, So pull warrants, whatever it takes.
- You want to try it? Airport's only 20 minutes away.
- It's not something I intend to use.
- Simply a marvelous commodity That will buy you the loyalty Of every warlord and terrorist in north somalia.
- Are you suggesting I limit my scope? - Hassan, as your father's eldest, It's in my interest to see you controlling The entire horn of africa.
- And the mineral rights of hamadi.
Let's see, you have copper in katanga, Blood diamonds in guinea.
Always something, isn't it? - Globalization.
- What's this? - Battery pack.
Check that date.
It was serviced less than three weeks ago.
- That matters.
Limited battery life is the weapon's single weakness.
You can't just run down to radio shack To replace them.
- These were stolen in transit returning from iraq? - On their way to a depot in virginia.
The soldiers guarding the convoy Were getting drunk at a truck stop.
- Why replace the batteries If they were headed for storage? - Someone bought a lot of hookers for pentagon brass And won a contract to replace all fim-92 batteries.
Why argue with a good thing? - Feel the potential.
- It's heavy.
- Not for what it delivers.
Within three miles of any aircraft, Point and shoot.
It's a certain kill.
- Ready for a taste? - Lock in on the fire.
Now point straight up.
No need to aim.
It will read the heat from the flames and home in.
Fire.
Well done.
- Yeah! - A natural, hassan.
- Very nice.
- Bloody natural.
- Excuse me, sir.
You can't go in there.
- Hello.
This is a warrant relating to a series of killings.
- Including murder on the high seas.
- The horn of africa is hardly within your jurisdiction.
- Why don't you explain it, zack? - Yeah, it's interesting.
A law that's been on the books since george washington Allows for the prosecution of pirates Wherever they're apprehended.
- That would be here and now.
- [sighs.]
- Detective.
- Look what we found.
- [clinks handcuffs.]
So booked for piracy-- Actually a first for me.
Mozambique, congo, liberia.
This guy's fought everywhere.
- Plus two years on a chain gang in equatorial guinea.
So much for the threat of hard time.
- Typical fearlessness of a psychopath.
- Hmm.
I see a little boy in a soldier suit-- A narcissist, desperate, craving self-aggrandizement.
- You puff him up.
- No problem.
I'm a hemingway fan.
- This guy plays his character to the hilt.
- Mm -hmm, till you come in, Cut him down.
What do we use? - I sent the gun from the search to fbi forensics.
Maybe we'll get a match.
- Fbi forensics.
Why them? - Their lab's the last place they'll look.
- Headquarters says they can have A federal attorney and six marshals here Within the hour.
- With all the paperwork done, "I"s dotted, "t"s crossed.
I want loaded dice for these pricks.
- Look, this is so-- This is-- this is just amazing.
You're not afraid of diseases or anything like that? - What? - You know, all those bugs.
The "cee zee" fly.
- [chuckles.]
tsetse fly.
- I could never go there.
That's definitely not my-- my thing.
And--and, oh, yes, This luxury yacht that you're on Is such a major contradiction.
- Contradiction? - Well, you know, I mean, You're the real deal.
But here you are with rich tourists On a luxury yacht shooting at unarmed boats.
- No, I told you, we didn't shoot at boats.
- Yeah.
And, um, from broidy's camera, You with otar tenishvilli.
He's a russian oilman.
That's not your kinda guy.
- How do you mean? - He's paunchy.
No--no stones.
When they grab otar for piracy, He'll sell you out.
Isn't that how you ended up on a chain gang In equatorial guinea? The rich backers bailed, And that's when the coup went bad? - It's called professional risk.
- Ah! - Here's-- here's hard evidence From this woman murdered on the high seas.
- [chuckles.]
What woman? Where's the body? Feel like a bit of lunch.
- We will have transport, a livestock plane, Expensive but-- - Seems too easy.
I just hope when you ship the weapons The americans won't interfere.
- It's been their plan all along.
Maybe they arranged this plane.
- In somalia, you can dismantle the gps.
- Or not.
- And I once worried My brother is not ruthless enough to rule.
- Did you get the ballistics? - Yes and something else.
- The fiery worm of moses lays under your skin, Devouring you like a living varicose vein.
Old fundis know how to wind it out on a stick.
- It's a guinea worm.
It's rampant in the great sudd, The marshlands of the nile.
- He knows geography, very remote.
- Place might suit you right about now.
- The great sudd beats a hangar in jersey.
- Our paperwork is all in order.
- Nobody moves until I've read this.
- Read fast.
- I told you.
I only knew loftin through our business.
- Were you unhappy with the way he conducted business? - From a security camera in the place Where loftin was shot.
The car is registered to damocles security.
- Equatorial guinea all over again.
- You know I couldn't have done this.
I've been in custody.
- There's a match From the gun found in your offices To the bullet found in captain ross.
- That was planted.
- He could be right.
The gun, the car.
I think he's more savvy than that.
- There's currently a moratorium On capital punishment.
At least you won't end up like this.
- Van dekker? You know what we want.
- Killing of your captain was stupid.
I wasn't part of it.
Look, for me right now, it's all about survival, The right deal.
But before I discuss it, I want a higher authority here-- A district attorney.
- We can do that.
- Okay, this stops right now.
- They've got us.
Paperwork is in order.
He goes into their custody.
- This is just great.
You realize he was about to cooperate with us, right? - So we'll get him there too.
- And then he'll jump bail.
He'll leave the country, Or get killed, or both.
- I told you about bigger priorities.
- Our captain is dead.
That's a big priority to us.
- Detective! No.
Not worth it.
The gun will still work for us.
- Yeah, yeah.
- When he clears federal arraignment, We can re-arrest on a different charge.
- If he's alive.
Broidy's dead, loftin's dead.
Van dekker's next.
Who's running this show? - Yeah, we're a long way from knowing that.
