Saint Petersburg GSM.

People behind that company want this country to be like in Soviet times.

They have the power to succeed.

We have given Telephonera all they wanted. All we need now is patience.

Patience?

The installation was interrupted from the inside!

How can that be?

I can convince them the sabotage was a technical glitch.

I can convince management.

-Who are they? -I don't know, it's Dad's old stuff.

As long as I keep these documents hidden, I think she might be alive.

They don't want this information getting public.

Who are they?

Central station, 207...

Earlier today, the police shot and killed a Chechen terrorist

responsible for the university bombing.

The police say the terrorist did not act alone.

They are looking for his accomplice, who fled the scene...

Damn...

Police are looking for a white male in his 30s.

He is considered armed and extremely dangerous.

More detailed description...

Wait here.

I'll go. Nobody's looking for me.

Locker 207.

NEWS OF RUSSIA

Let's go, let's go.

-Brice & Stadthaller. -What is this?

Looks like parts of a due diligence report.

It's an audit companies do before they negotiate a big deal.

-Do you have a fax machine I can use? -Maybe.

VIKTOR GUSIN AND CARL BORGENSTIERNA

ANGER?

Anger? Like Max Anger?

Viktor Gusin, this is a Russian name. What does it say?

"Viktor Gusin and Carl Borgenstierna were seen with a beautiful company

at the opera premiere of La Bohème."

-Viktor Gusin? Like the famous one? -Who?

Looks like the 40s. You see...

There was this Viktor Gusin who worked for Stalin.

Stalin?

Yeah, like... if it's the same one, I don't know.

Go Sweden! Go Sweden!

Brice & Stadthaller, Marcel Rousseau speaking.

Yes, hello. This is David Juhlin at Telephonera.

We met at the GSM congress in Madrid. I helped you prepare for the deal.

Good morning.

Yes... There is something we need to straighten out.

What's this about?

Maybe you heard about the technical issues,

that has the deal at a standstill right now?

And?

Well, I have it under control. You don't have to worry.

Excellent. What do you want?

-You need to keep him away from me. -Who?

Ray, Ray McKinley or whatever his name is.

He's threatening my family and he tried to kill me!

Excuse me, what exactly are you talking about?

We have to go now!

Listen, we had a business agreement,

and I have given you everything you wanted, okay?

Then you send a hitman for me?!

-I don't know anything about this. -No, no.

No, you get rid of him, or everything is fucked!

-Believe me, David... -Understand? You will all go to hell!

I really don't have anything to do with this.

Dad!

-Shot? Who? -You have to go to the police, Max.

Have you?

No, they're the ones who did it.

And they're blaming him for bombing the faculty.

-I read it was a Chechen terrorist. -No, it's not true. It's fabricated.

By whom?

I don't know, but the guys who shot him were police or military.

I have no idea where the order came from.

You'll have to go through all these papers...

Shit... What the hell is this?

Max, Max...

Hello?

What the hell is this?

ANGER?

This is Viktor Gusin and Carl Borgenstierna.

But... we have a photograph here... Do you know what it is?

I don't know. Pashie found it in the house on Arholma, among Dad's stuff.

I don't know why she included it here.

Okay...

Max, I think there's something you need to know about Pashie.

What?

I asked Pashie to look for Viktor Gusin.

Carl Borgenstierna asked me.

What... Carl Borgenstier... What the hell are you talking about?

He wondered about a connection between

Saint Petersburg GSM and Viktor Gusin.

So you've asked Pashie to look into this for you?

Yes.

Why the hell haven't you said anything?

She hadn't found anything, but that was before she went back...

Why the hell didn't you tell me?!

I didn't know things would get so messy,

and I had no idea that Pashie would end up in danger.

So she didn't even copy my documents?

No. I gave them to her.

What the hell. You're out of your fucking mind...!

Why the hell didn't you tell me when I...?! This is fucking insane...

-I wish I had handled it differently. -She could die, for fuck's sake!

I'll fax you the rest later.

Okay. We'll talk later.

You know, it's a connection problem. I just... I can't do anything.

It's fine.

Is there anywhere I can find out more about this Gusin?

In the military archives. Sorta.

Yes. War and History Archives, maybe.

-Okay. -But you are... foreigner.

I don't know if they let you.

-We have to go through what we have. -SPGSM's ownership structure.

We'll have to compare this to our own research. This is totally...

These are totally different people, totally different companies.

Why do they even want to be acquired? Huh?

They have enough money to start their own bank.

This is Brice & Stadthaller, that's Marcel Rousseau's company.

-We'll have to run this by him. -We have to run it by Elisabeth.

Telephonera is our partner in this. We have to talk to Elisabeth,

even if it results in the deal being called off.

I'll talk to her.

But if they pull out of the deal, we'll go bankrupt, you know that.

Why is your name on that photo?

I have no idea.

This is Pashie's handwriting, but...

Or your name is Paul Olsen.

I saw you have two passports.

It's from when I was in the military.

We did this operation where we had false identities.

It's expired, but... I just kept it.

We need information about Viktor Gusin.

He was the cultural attaché in Stockholm during the war.

Gusin... Viktor Gusin... It's weird.

Yesterday... Last week a woman came looking for the same info.

-Who was that? -I don't know.

She was just a visitor, she didn't introduce herself.

What did she look like?

And why are you asking?

Doesn't matter, probably just a coincidence.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

Hi. How are you?

Well, I'm having a pretty bad day.

I've gotten an appointment. I'm having a new operation.

I won't stay long.

I just wanted to show you...

This picture of you and Viktor Gusin.

Can you tell me about it? Where was it taken?

During the war.

In Stockholm.

I had just watched...

the opera Bohème with Jussi Björling.

It was the spring of 1943.

I had just started working at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs,

and I'd been invited to this event in the Hall of Mirrors at the Grand.

Only prominent guests, diplomats, top executives.

And little old me.

It was a very special evening.

You should toast first, before you can drink.

Of course. Excuse me.

Cheers, Miss...

-Tatiana. -Tatiana?

Nice to meet you.

-My name is Carl. -You speak Russian?

My dad worked as a consul in St. Petersburg for some time.

I grew up with Russian stories and songs.

Probably with lullabies, too.

-Yes. -Do you know this...

Hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye, on the edge you shouldn't lie

Otherwise a wolf will come and leave a bite on your side

I remember it.

But it was a long time since I heard that song, but I like it.

-My mother... -Tatiana?

There you are.

Are you going to introduce us?

Yes! Excuse me.

Viktor Gusin, cultural attaché at the Soviet Union's embassy. Eh, Carl...

Borgenstierna. Foreign Affairs.

Nice to meet you.

The pleasure is all mine.

I see that you have already met my fiancée, Tatyana Sedova,

in the very near future Gusina. Bring me a glass of champagne, please.

Sure.

So, you are responsible for the communication with our embassy.

I'm sorry, my Russian is bad.

But I work as an attorney in our legal division.

So, did you enjoy La bohème earlier?

Yes, I thought it was wonderful.

Jussi Björling, I mean... what a tenor.

But I think Puccini brings the best out of any voice.

-Well. To good health. -Cheers.

To good health.

Can we take a picture for the Home Journal?

Well, that was the first and last time that I met Viktor Gusin.

He... wasn't just a cultural attaché, but later turned out to be a spy,

and a very dangerous man.

Is... did you get this picture from Charlie?

Charlie told me that you had asked him to track down Viktor Gusin.

Yes, to see if he's involved in this deal, yes.

The article was found among Jacob Anger's things.

-Why...? -I don't know anything about that.

-It says "Anger" here, but... -Listen...

-Were you two friends? -You'll have to excuse me...

Hello?

I think we need some help up here.

-Hey... I'll come back later... -Alright, thanks.

Don't miss out, don't miss out! Come and buy!

It's nice to see you again.

Thank you for coming.

I didn't know if my message got to you.

And forgive me for being so forward.

My fiancé...

I don't know how to start. I was...

offered to him.

Offered to him?

Yes, as a gift.

You have no idea what the Great Father of our nation subjects us to.

-I've heard stories about it. -They pale in comparison to reality.

My fiancé... is a spy.

He is very close to Stalin.

I'm betraying my country by telling you that.

I won't say a word about it.

That would be professional misconduct, Carl Borgenstierna.

You want me... to help you defect?

You don't have to say yes, of course.

But why me?

Okay... So...

Oh... look.

-Gusin, Viktor Leonidovich... -It has to be him, right?

He was awarded for his patriotic work as a lieutenant at State Security.

You know what that means, right?

NKVD.

Terror, torture.

Mass murder. Anyone who spent their career there

has more blood on their hands than there's water in Neva.

-Does it say what happened to him? -I don't know.

Most of them were removed after Khrushchev took power,

but... Oh, look.

Plane crash in the Caucasus...

Looks like he was on a plane crash in Kavkaz.

Pilot and all the passengers died. 1963.

In '63...

This is a dead end.

Okay...

Why was this picture with the business papers?

Pashie found that article in my dad's house and...

for some reason she took a picture of it.

That means he must know something. Your dad, let's call him.

-I can't. -Why not?

-This was in his house. It's... -Because he's dead.

I'm sorry.

Gotcha.

Okay...

-I give up. -Yes!

Do you have to go back to Russia?

We still have a few days.

Hey.

You did everything you could.

There are other ways. You know, we can... we can try to...

Let's enjoy this time we have.

Okay?

Are you coming back? To Stockholm?

I'm here right now.

Hey, I have to go check on another thing, but...

-you don't have to help me with that. -Okay.

Here, take this and keep in touch.

Go home and take care of your mother and daughter, and...

thank you.

I'm sure we'll find her.

Thanks.

-Hi. -Hey.

-Is everything okay? -Yeah, fine.

Listen, we need the report on the breakdown.

But you've already gotten my assessment.

That it was a technical glitch...

Yes, I know, but management needs a written account.

And it has to be reviewed by an external security consultant.

-External? -Yes, if we say we look good,

-it doesn't really count. -No.

I'd want to use Cello, but it could take a week or...

-Yeah, but I need it by tomorrow. -Tomorrow?

Tomorrow at the latest, so we can sign the contract later in the day.

Marcel Rousseau?

Hi, I'm Max Anger.

We've never met, I'm a consultant for Telephonera on the SPGSM deal.

-At Vektor? -Yeah. Do you mind?

Are you guys here now? We were just in Stockholm to see you.

Yeah, sorry I missed that,

everyone there is working on everything, so...

I'm just here to get some additional information from you.

Information about what?

About SPGSM's ownership structure.

I'm sorry, but who are you?

MAX ANGER BUSINESS ANALYST

So who's behind it?

You know that. Us...

And then some private and institutional owners.

Right, and who are behind them?

What do you want?

When you made your due diligence, you didn't find anything unusual?

It's a very stable and well-run company.

And all I've seen from them is... clarity and transparency.

Right, right, right.

If you'd like to speak further about this, I suggest we meet at my office.

Look, our colleague Pashie Kovalenko has been missing for a week.

Missing?

I think it has something to do with an investigation she was conducting,

about Saint Petersburg GSM.

I don't know anything about that.

I represent a Swiss investment company...

I have documents that prove you withheld information

about SPGSM from us.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah, but I need it by tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah...

Come in. Hang on.

-Hey Charlie. -Hey. Have you got five minutes?

Sure. I'll wrap this up...

Yeah, exactly, I'll send over all the information. Thanks, bye.

Yes.

I should really go see Elisabeth,

but I thought things over and decided that I'll run it by you first.

Okay.

We've gotten information from Max Anger about Saint Petersburg GSM,

which is totally different from what they provided about themselves.

What?

Here. If you look at these numbers...

The numbers are totally different than what we got earlier.

And the ownership structure is also noteworthy.

What... the status on the contracts? Have they been signed?

What? No, management is waiting for a review of...

So we... we have time?

Yes, maybe a week.

Good, because we're waiting on more information.

We had some trouble with the transfer, so there's more coming.

Okay, here's what I think we should do.

Let's wait for the rest of the material,

so we can get everything in order.

I can take all these papers and go through them in peace and quiet,

-so I've got them organised. -I'll compile it with the rest.

-Sure thing. -Then you'll get everything at once.

-That works, too. No problem. -Great.

And these papers, where are they now?

I don't know, probably somewhere at Vektor.

-Do you have access there? -No.

Then you'll have to get it.

I can't... I can't just call Charlie... no, I can't.

David, then what use do I have for you?

The papers, were they faxed over from Saint Petersburg this morning?

And the deal is complete?

Soon, yeah.

He was talking about an employee who disappeared here in Saint Petersburg.

And? What does that have to do with us?

Earlier today, my contact

called from Telephonera and he was talking about some kind of hitman

-he said we sent. -Amazing, yeah?

The second a Swede feels upset,

of course it must be a Russian behind it.

Was there anything else?

Did Ms. Ståhl find a submarine in her bathtub?

Alright. Okay, bye.

Mira Titereva? I have to ask you to come with us.

What for?

We can discuss that in the car.

-Can I take these home? -Take the groceries to her flat.

Maybe they have to feed the baby.

Get in the car. It won't take long.

I don't smoke.

Good girl. I shouldn't have started, either.

So, what did I do?

Max Anger.

Who is that?

You got arrested with him in Toksovo.

He's just a client. Some foreigner.

Where is he?

How should I know?

This can be over in five minutes, or take much longer.

You will have to come with us to the police department. Where is he?

He got in my car near the university. Then I took him to the hotel.

Which one?

To... Astoria? Or maybe no...

Flamingo? I don't remember.

This is Sarah.

Hello? Are you guys still there? I'm sending the rest now.

Good.

There are some papers here that...

I'm not sure, but I think there are a bunch of

-hidden owners of SPGSM. -Yes.

Look at the handwritten note which I think is the ownership structure.

There's this company called SE-RG Holdings, it's been circled.

Look at their papers, they've received lots of money.

Okay.

I did nothing wrong and you know it.

Tell us where Anger is and we'll let you go.

But how?

Turn right here.

I'll go get some coffee. Fancy a cup?

DINER

I'll be back in five minutes.

We know where you live. So don't even think about it.

-Get out. -What's going on?

I told you to get out. Out of the car, quick.

-What's going on? -Go. Quick.

A lot of money was transferred from hidden owners to the parent company.

Yeah, oil companies. Gas companies, oligarchs... fucking politicians.

It seems like every influential Russian is tied to this company

which we're trying to tie to Sweden.

Are you serious? You don't have to tempt fate needlessly.

I'll toss some salt over my shoulder, that'll make things better.

What time are we seeing Elisabeth?

I haven't scheduled that yet, because I talked to...

David. I ran this by him, so I haven't spoken with her,

but I will schedule that meeting.

Was that wrong of me?

Yes!

We have to run this by her, don't you know that?

It has to come straight from...

No, I can't take this, I need to sleep.

She can't hear about it from someone else!

That's just... totally fucking unprofessional.

I can't take this anymore.

Dial it.

Hello?

Hello?

Max, there are two men here and they'll...

We have your driver and we will trade her for the documents.

Take a taxi and come to paper factory.

Come alone, no guns. If not, we will kill her and her baby.

No! No!

I'll be there.

One hour.

Charlie?

I see a taxi.

The taxi is leaving. I'm losing the target. I repeat: taxi is leaving.

Find and kill him.

The taxi is empty. Target not found.
