You think it's too ambitious? 382 00:26:38,182 --> 00:26:40,601 No. You've always been different. 383 00:26:40,601 --> 00:26:43,812 Driven. I have no doubt you can make it happen. 384 00:26:44,438 --> 00:26:46,190 Then what's your question? 385 00:26:47,691 --> 00:26:50,694 Do so many people really need to die? 386 00:26:50,694 --> 00:26:54,114 I understand our objective here. I understand what's at stake. 387 00:26:54,114 --> 00:26:58,994 But so many deaths. Children even? 388 00:26:59,828 --> 00:27:01,330 Does that matter? 389 00:27:02,706 --> 00:27:04,792 I'm a grandfather now, Julia. 390 00:27:04,792 --> 00:27:07,628 You know that I wasn't very close with my daughter. 391 00:27:07,628 --> 00:27:10,172 You've been more of a daughter to me over the years 392 00:27:10,172 --> 00:27:11,298 than Elizabeth ever was. 393 00:27:12,132 --> 00:27:15,010 But grandchildren... 394 00:27:15,010 --> 00:27:19,014 - Yeah, don't tell me. It changes you. - It does. 395 00:27:20,182 --> 00:27:24,728 I understand. Of course I do. Children are special. 396 00:27:24,728 --> 00:27:27,481 Grandchildren perhaps even more so. 397 00:27:27,481 --> 00:27:30,526 And that's why, when the time comes, 398 00:27:30,526 --> 00:27:34,905 it's better for all of us that it's me with my finger on the switch. 399 00:27:34,905 --> 00:27:36,407 And not you. 400 00:27:44,331 --> 00:27:46,375 So?

Do you really think this could be them? 403 00:27:53,549 --> 00:27:55,259 We met some people last night. 404 00:27:55,259 --> 00:27:58,011 And they seemed very on-message. For SCORPIA. 405 00:27:58,011 --> 00:28:02,015 - Are you being careful? - Yeah, we're fine, everyone's fine! 406 00:28:02,015 --> 00:28:04,017 Speak for yourself, spyboy. 407 00:28:04,017 --> 00:28:06,603 I should be there.

Jay's looking after us. - Jay's a lunatic. 410 00:28:12,860 --> 00:28:16,947 Yeah, but I'm not. No unnecessary risks, okay? 411 00:28:16,947 --> 00:28:19,741 So, property files? 412 00:28:19,741 --> 00:28:22,870 This place of yours is a 16th century villa. 413 00:28:22,870 --> 00:28:25,747 A private villa, but it's changed hands. A lot. 414 00:28:25,747 --> 00:28:27,875 We need to know who's behind it. A name. 415 00:28:27,875 --> 00:28:30,794 I thought you'd say that. So I traced the provenance. 416 00:28:30,794 --> 00:28:33,547 Its recent acquisition was in 1995, 417 00:28:33,547 --> 00:28:36,049 by a small holding group based out of Croatia. 418 00:28:36,049 --> 00:28:38,927 The chain of title is complex, 419 00:28:38,927 --> 00:28:42,097 shell companies on shell companies through Switzerland, Italy, 420 00:28:42,097 --> 00:28:43,932 but, eventually, 421 00:28:44,183 --> 00:28:47,603 it all leads to an oil and petrochemical investor, 422 00:28:47,603 --> 00:28:49,313 Nicolai Rothman. 423 00:28:49,313 --> 00:28:53,108 - Where's he? - That's the problem. He's dead. 424 00:28:54,026 --> 00:28:57,404 What if someone inherited it? If he had a wife, his widow? 425 00:28:57,404 --> 00:28:59,490 If so, she's not on the title deeds. 426 00:28:59,490 --> 00:29:01,825 Okay. Thanks, Jack. You're brilliant. 427 00:29:01,825 --> 00:29:04,786 Just don't do anything breathtakingly stupid. 428 00:29:04,786 --> 00:29:06,705 Why would you even say something like that? 429 00:29:07,873 --> 00:29:08,874 Okay. Bye. 430 00:29:09,374 --> 00:29:11,126 Already on it. 431 00:29:15,339 --> 00:29:17,508 Max is having second thoughts. 432 00:29:17,508 --> 00:29:21,345 Mr. Grendel is an old man. Perhaps he's losing his appetite. 433 00:29:22,262 --> 00:29:25,224 Do you think you'll ever lose your appetite, Nile? 434 00:29:25,891 --> 00:29:29,228 No. And if I do, put a bullet in me. 435 00:29:29,937 --> 00:29:31,063 I promise. 436 00:29:34,733 --> 00:29:38,987 Do you know what it took, to build a cathedral in the Middle Ages? 437 00:29:40,030 --> 00:29:44,034 An astonishing investment. Generations of craftsmen. 438 00:29:44,034 --> 00:29:47,871 Sometimes more than a hundred years of constant labor. 439 00:29:49,164 --> 00:29:51,625 An unimaginable amount of money, 440 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,627 all given over freely, 441 00:29:54,002 --> 00:29:58,257 even if it meant that people starved in the streets.

Her name is Julia. 456 00:30:50,309 --> 00:30:53,687 So maybe "Widow" is not a codename.

Keeps herself to herself. 465 00:31:14,207 --> 00:31:18,170 {\an8}But from what I can see, she moves around a lot. Hardly ever here. 466 00:31:18,170 --> 00:31:21,381 {\an8}She's here now for a reason. We need to find out what. 467 00:31:21,381 --> 00:31:24,259 {\an8}Something specific.
