All language subtitles for Hidden Assets.s01e06.Episode 6

Corporate headquarters in Europe -
it's got to be big. It's perfect.

Want to push paper now? Stop a
bomber, another takes his place.

Find the money, and you
topple the whole regime.

There's dozens of companies
and hundreds of policies here.

Culain sounds Irish. Look.

It's the entrance
to Fionn Brannigan's house.

Tomorrow might be too late
to prevent more deaths.

Can we have a minute
to grapple with this one?

Bibi, all you need to do right now

is to give me a good reason
not to give this to CAB.

Every detail of your
and Fionn's entire system.

According to her alpha pass,

Bibi Melnick was
in the port the night

before the Brussels bomb
as well as the Antwerp one.

It's her.

Oh, my God! She's the one
bringing the bombers in.

Come on.

You're being followed,
Mevrouw Melnick. By police.

Get rid of them.
That's what you're paid for.

Get out of the car!
Raise your hands!

Where is he?

This programme contains some
violent scenes and strong language

CROWD CHANTING:

VIKTOR MAES:

CROWD CHEERING

Any news on the black SUV
that got in my way?

Nothing. No trace.

But CCTV shows this is the route

Bibi Melnick took the night
that Sana disappeared.

She leaves work late,
then drives through the dock area,

through security point, before...

..turning into Boosestraat.

Which is a black spot.

There are no street cameras.

After 15 minutes, she reappears.

And then drives straight home.

That must be where the handover was.

Yeah, probably.

What's on this Boosestraat?

Not much. Very quiet.

This may be why she chose it.

I've sent some uniforms down there.

To knock on doors,
see what they can find.

OK. Good.

We need to put pressure on her
if we want to find this bomber.

SIREN WAILS

Diver found this at the spot

where a port worker
saw Mevrouw Melnick

throw something in the water.

So...

Whatever is on that hard disk
must be pretty incriminating.

Let's hope so.

What damage will
the water have done?

It may have affected
the electronics,

but that's about it.

The data should be still on it,
whether it got wet or not.

OK, the platter's fine.

This is all that's on it.

These are all company
financial accounts.

We're already onto Culain
but send all those to Norah.

See if there's anything
new in there. Sure.

What's in VTL?

Is that it? Is that all there is?

Yeah, that's all.

Oh, well, that's all
there is on this disk?

Nothing that could be linked
to the attacks?

No, this is it.

What the fuck?

What does VTL mean?

Virtual tape library.

It's data, storage technology

for backing up data and information.

If she went through the trouble
of trying to destroy this hard disk,

these numbers must mean something.

So stay on it. See if you
can find out what they mean.

Wait here.

SIREN BURST

Police! Turn around! OK. OK.

Turn around! OK.

Get down! Get down! OK. OK.

What is this about?
Can you tell me?

Shut up! You're under arrest.

They're questioning Koshinen,

the captain of the tanker
who brought in the bombers.

First impressions are he knows
nothing about any of this.

What about her husband?
On his way here now.

She still insisting
she doesn't want a lawyer?

I think she hopes
she can handle this herself.

Without anyone else finding out.

Let's go put her straight.

Follow me.

Sit down.

Isn't this all a little excessive?

I must inform you this interview
is being recorded

and remind you

you have been arrested
on suspicions of crimes

contravening the 2003
Law on Terrorist Offences.

Anything you say may be used
as evidence in court.

Will this take long?

My husband will be expecting me.

He has been arrested too
as part of our investigation.

James has noth...

He has never broken the law.

Ever.

Do you still wish

to be interviewed
without a lawyer present?

Sit down, please.

You already know
Detective Sergeant Berry.

She's here representing
the Irish Criminal Assets Bureau.

One minute, please.

If this is something to do

with what Fionn has been up to...
It's not.

You're the one
we're interested in.

Thanks, Mila.

Recommencing the interview
with Mevrouw Melnick.

At 21:46.

We are investigating
the terrorist attacks

in Brussels and here in Antwerp

and I'm offering you the chance
to tell us what you know.

I don't know anything.

We believe this next attack
is very imminent.

You can help us stop it.

So I'm asking you to help us
save many citizens' lives.

I would help if I could.

You searched my car,
you found nothing.

I don't know why you think
I'm involved.

OK, fine.

I have some photographs
I'd like you to take a look at.

Do you recognise this vehicle?

Of course, it's mine.

Does anybody else drive this car?

No, just me.

Can you identify the person
driving in this image?

Yes. It's me.

Can you identify the person
in this image?

It's me.

We have identified the man
getting out of your car

as Luis Spinola.

The man who carried out
the Antwerp bombing.

Can you identify the two
other men in this photo?

If it helps jog your memory,

these images were taken
the night before the bombing.

We believe you used your
company's access to the port

to bring these men
into the country

so they could carry out
terrorist attacks.

You must understand
you're facing terrorist charges

and life in prison.

Silence will not help you,
Mevrouw Melnick.

You're right.

There is another attack.

It's scheduled
for tomorrow morning.

I can help you prevent it
but I want to see James first.

Like I already told you,
Mr Melnick is currently

under arrest as part
of our investigation.

And, like I told you,
he has nothing to do with this.

If you want to stop this attack,
then go get him for me.

Come! Come on!

We're going. We have to leave.

Chief Inspector, I don't
know what I'm doing here.

And I don't know what's happening.

But I do know my rights.

We have conclusive evidence
that your wife helped the man

who carried out last week's bombing.

No, that's...

You made a mistake.

There's absolutely no mistake.

KNOCKING, DOOR BUZZES

Whatever you have to say to him,
make it quick.

I'm so sorry.

About all of this.

All of what?

What have you done?

It's OK, they can't record us
in here.

Bibi...

You can tell me.

The police have...

..photos of me with...

..with the man
who carried out the bombing.

When you say "with him",
what do you mean?

Getting out
of the boot of my car.

They threatened to kill me
if I didn't do it.

And Arthur too. And you.

Who?

This is all about your father's
fucking money, isn't it?

The money that I told you from
the very beginning not to take.

It was Daddy's money.

He earned it. No-one else.

And they hounded him
into his grave.

I had every right to keep it.
It belongs to us.

And Fionn?

Getting thrown out of a plane.
How does that fit in?

We underestimated the people
we were dealing with.

Yeah. I'd say.

I'm sorry, James. I'm sorry.

That's too late. Too late.

I did it for us.

Will you stop lying to me?

We have more money
than we can ever spend.

All of this has never been
about anything except you.

You and your father.
And your father's fucking legacy.

I need your help.

If not for me,

then to protect Arthur.

I'm going to send you
a copy of this too.

And we'll split the load.

MESSAGE SENT AND RECEIVED ALERTS

Got it. I take the first half,
you take the second.

Thank you.

This isn't just Culain stuff.

What else is there?

I don't know exactly.

It looks like accounts
for a company registered

in Angola?

There's a list of...

PHONE RINGS

Hey!

I heard you got new evidence.

We have CCTV footage

of Bibi Melnick handing over
Luis Spinola to two men.

Jesus! Yeah.

You should have seen her snooty face
when she saw the evidence.

You reckon those two lads are
the ones that shot Darren Reid?

You'd have to think.

How are you getting on?

Ah, it's all data this
and gigabytes that.

So you're making the coffees
and trying to look busy?

No. No, I have stuff to do.

Emer, they're ready for us.

I have to go, Sean.
I'll talk to you later.

Before this interview
officially resumes,

we would like to discuss
the possibility

of a Regret Settlement.

Go on.

My wife is willing to admit

that she did assist the attackers,

transporting them from the port.

But that she did so
only after threats were made

against her life
and the lives of her family.

And given that we believe that
the men who threatened her

subsequently killed her brother,

it was prudent to take
those threats seriously.

Who are these people
who threatened her?

After the death of her father,

my wife and her brother entered
into an illegal agreement

with some associates
to hide and launder

a large quantity of
her father's overseas assets.

Her brother never revealed
the identities of these associates,

but my wife suspects that they
have links with organised crime.

Bullshit!

Article 326
of the Belgium Criminal Code

provides a mechanism by
which a sentence can be excluded

in the case of a guilty party
who confesses to everything

at the planning stage of an attack.

My wife is prepared

to plead guilty to money
laundering charges

and to help you prevent
an imminent terrorist attack.

In return for immunity
from all other charges.

Are you fucking joking?

Emer.

I think you're overestimating
your bargaining position.

We have enough evidence
to bring charges as it is.

There's a general election tomorrow.

Imagine how it'll play in the media

if you turn down a chance to
stop an attack on election day.

To reiterate,

my wife's help is dependent

on an official Regret Settlement

stating that she will face
no criminal charges

beyond money laundering.

That will need
to be approved by OCAD.

And signed off by a Magistrate.

We'll need you to identify

the men you handed Spinola to.

All I know is they were
employed by the criminals

that my brother engaged
to launder our father's assets.

Those men are accused
of carrying out

at least three murders

including Sana Retz
and your brother Fionn.

That's all I know.

Why are they organising
a bombing campaign

made to look like it was carried out
by Muslim fundamentalists?

I told you, my brother
dealt with them. Not me.

Our evidence suggests
that Sana was killed by them

because she saw you
leaving the warehouse

with Spinola in your car.

Who tipped them off about that?

Did you tell them about Sana? No.

Did you warn them about
the danger Fionn posed too?

Of course not.

He came here to tell you

he was handing himself in.

Which put you in
a very tricky situation.

And then he's murdered.

How did the killers even know
he was in that hangar?

Did you tell them that?

Did you?

The attack is
in less than 12 hours.

You're wasting your time.

She is lying.

Do you really think
that Fionn Brannigan

is the brains behind all this
and she's some innocent victim?

Probably not. Then why are you
thinking of giving her a free pass?

To save people's lives and stop
another terrorist attack.

What about the people killed
in the previous attacks?

Don't they deserve justice?

What about Sana?
And Fionn Brannigan?

And Darren Reid?

Hey, I agree, OK? Yeah?
It's not fair.

But if there's a chance
of stopping this attack,

I have to act on it.

We could issue a terror alert,
warn the public instead.

What if that only spooks Rivera?

He detonates the bomb
somewhere else.

What you and I feel doesn't matter.

People much higher up
this food chain

will decide what happens.

James...

If you knew the whole story,
you'd see this differently.

OK.

Tell me the whole story.

Come on.

Lay it on me.

Because I would love to see
this differently right now.

I think I would give
everything I have

to see you differently right now.

I can't.

It would put you
and Arthur in danger.

Don't you dare use Arthur
to get your way.

PHONE RINGS

Yeah?

We found something
off the hard drive.

Go on.

We found a company called
TUXZ Ltd, registered in Angola,

that was set up to trade
rough diamonds.

Now, from what I can work out,

Fionn and Bibi were receiving
illegal payments

for their father's assets
they signed away.

These payments were being filtered

through a series of shell companies.

All controlled by Culain.

And then Culain pays millions
to this TUXZ Ltd

for "unspecified services".

How many millions?

TUXZ Ltd is holding assets
worth over 40 million in diamonds.

INHALES SHARPLY

Wow!

How much were the father's
assets worth

before they signed them over?

Depending on who you ask,
around 600 million.

Yeah, but they wouldn't be getting

anywhere near market value
for them now, would they?

No, with an arrangement like this,
they may have to accept as little
as 40 cents in every euro.

Still, that's almost

250 million?

Where's the rest of it?

We're looking.

Well, keep looking.
I'll call you back.

This Regret Settlement will
depend on you handing over

the money that you received
from the illegal sale

of your father's assets.

Money that was stolen
from the Irish State.

You have no jurisdiction here.

You cannot be here
without Christian.

You can't talk to Mevrouw Melnick.

Wait! That's OK.

This is a private matter.

We're happy to talk to her.

If you don't agree to return
the money that was stolen,

I will ask the Irish Government
to make a formal objection

to this Regret Settlement.

Agreed.

The money will be returned.

I want a list of where
the money is, bank accounts.

How much is there?

Around 40 million in diamonds.

That's even less than 10%
of the value of the assets.

That's what Fionn negotiated.

Regardless of what else happens,

I'll be taking possession
of those diamonds tomorrow.

She just gave up the 40 million
without a fight.

Now, she wouldn't have done that

unless she has lots more
hidden away.

We need to find it.

We're working on it.

We need to find it soon
while we have her in custody.

Because, if she gets a chance,

she's going to start burying that
even deeper.

No pressure, then. OK.

Bye. Bye.

Hey! Let's go to my office.

Do you know what really bugs me?

Lot of things, I imagine.

All the "whys".

Why make it look like
Muslim fundamentalists?

Why now and here?

Why use Columbians?

I mean, she gives us this bomber,
nothing else,

and she walks away
and we are none the wiser.

We're saving lives. Are we, though?

Or is letting her and the people
behind this get away

going to cost us even more?

PHONE RINGS

It's in order.

Where is this attack happening?

Viktor Maes is holding
an election day press conference

at the Museum aan de Stroom
tomorrow morning.

They want to assassinate
Viktor Maes? No.

The attack will target

his supporters planning
to gather outside.

You know what time exactly?

No. How is he getting there?

I wasn't told that.

This is a photo we have of Rivera.

Does he look like this?

He's a little older.

Greyer.

OK.

You will remain here in custody

until the bomber has been
apprehended. What about me?

Am I free to go?

My son is at home.
I would like to be with him.

Come with me.
I'll arrange your release.

But we may need
to question you again.

Of course. Thank you.

I haven't got long, Norah.

When I was going back through

all the Culain and TUXZ accounts,

I noticed that they'd both
been set up

at the same time 15 months ago.

And? Well, it's odd.

The father died ten years ago.

That's when they signed away
all his assets.

But they're only setting up
these laundering companies now?

Why do I sense that you already
know the answer to this?

Not the entire answer,
but maybe part of it.

Go on.

These five VTL numbers
made me think.

What if they had done this
four times before?

Set up a system
like Culain and TUXZ,

used it to launder the money

they were receiving
for their father's assets.

Then, after a period of about
two years, shut it down,

set up another one.

Yeah, so if they ever get caught,
it would only be

the most recent scheme
and not the whole thing.

Exactly. It's very simple.
Very clever.

So where's the rest of the money?

That bit, I don't know.

But if we can trace
the storage devices

these VTL numbers are linked to,

I'm sure we'll find the answers.

Good job. And...
OK, boss, we're ready.

Oh! I have to go now.
Talk to you soon.

OK, listen up, everybody!

We travel to the MAS museum
in ones and twos.

No large groups or marked cars.

Everyone remains in plain clothes,
weapons concealed.

We don't want to alert this bomber

or give him any reason
to detonate this bomb early.

At all times, be discreet.

And know that Rivera
may well be in disguise

or have changed his appearance.

So keep a keen watch
on any men who are alone.

Viktor Maes' office
has been informed?

We haven't given details,

but we told him that we are
concerned for his safety.

And requested
that he doesn't attend

the Museum press conference.

His team knows to be discreet
with this information?

Yeah, absolutely.
Everyone, go. Be safe.

OK. Well...

See you later.

Hey, I want to be there too.

At the MAS.

Can't have an unarmed officer
present.

Well, then, arm me.

This has been a joint
investigative unit

between your team and mine.

You can't just cut me out now.

Come.

Hey. Give me some money.

Sign there.

I take it you know how...
Yep. I know how.

You ready?

Yeah, I was thinking
the area outside

is big enough that
we could isolate Rivera.

Why would we do that?

To negotiate a surrender.
Not go straight to lethal force.

He's wearing an IED with
who knows what kind of explosives.

Rivera is not a fanatic. He's
not doing it for God or culture.

We can talk him out of this.

You don't know his motives.

I know that he's a Catholic
Columbian, not a jihadist.

Can't take that risk.

If we kill him,
there's nothing that can lead us

to the people behind these attacks.

We don't know who they are
or why they're doing it.

Luca Rivera alive
can help us catch them.

My orders are to stop this attack

and neutralise
the threat Rivera presents.

Don't you want to find out
who's really behind this?

I want to save lives and keep
my job. That's enough for today.

Yeah.

Um, can we sit here?

No, no, no.

No, it's not necessary.

Thank you. Thank you?

Thank you.

We should probably split up,
cover more ground.

RADIO: Possible target
on the Bonapartdock.

Male, grey puffer jacket. OK.

I'll go and check that. Why
don't you stay here? Hmm, hmm.

OK. Negative.
Bonapartdock is not the target.

Copy that. Target still at large.

Are you going to the MAS?

Because we are going there too.

We can... We can walk with you.
No. No.

No, it's OK, we can go together.

RADIO: No further sightings
of suspicious lone males.

Police! Put your hands in the air!

PEOPLE SCREAM

Hands in the air!

Luca.

Luca. Luca.

Manos arriba! Manos arriba!

Put the detonator down
or we will shoot.

Luca.

EMER SPEAKING SPANISH

No. No.

OK. Emer, stand down.

He doesn't want to do it.
We can talk him out of it.

Luca... Luca.

No. No.

Luca...

Luca.

Luca...

Luca!

Si. OK, OK, OK.

Luca?

Luca!

KEYPAD BEEPS

RINGING AT OTHER END

Alo...

GUNSHOT

I had to do it, Emer.

I have a responsibility
for the safety

of the officers under my command.

He didn't pose a threat.
He had a bomb.

He wanted to talk to his wife.

You don't know
what his intentions were.

We have nothing now. We failed.

How many people would have
been killed today

if we didn't do what we did?

That's not failure.

What about the people
behind all this?

Get away scot free.

We have nothing on those two men

who probably killed Sana,
Darren Reid and Fionn Brannigan.

We have their images.
We will find them.

PHONE RINGS

It's Mila.

Where are we with those VTLs?

Nowhere.

We haven't been able to work out
what those numbers mean.

Have you spoken
to Norah and Josh about them?

Yes. They are working on it too
but no luck.

OK, thanks.

Looks like Bibi Melnick
will get away scot free too.

Minus the 40 million in diamonds

she'll be handing over to you.

Do you have a cigarette?

You can keep them.

Now that Rivera's dead,

Emer really wants us
to crack this thing.

Maybe those codes are serial
numbers for the VTLs.

You...you know
what a VTL is, right?

Yeah, it's a Virtual Tape Library.

Used to store data and back it up.

The clue's in the name. "Virtual".

They aren't actual tapes.

They're virtual storage
and backup facilities.

Created by software packages.

OK, so maybe they're serial numbers

for the software packages.

I'm pretty sure software companies

haven't used four-digit
serial numbers since the 1980s.

Do you mind, lads? This is
an office, not a short cut, yeah?

I'm sorry.

So how do we trace these numbers?

I don't know. There are dozens,

maybe hundreds of companies
providing VTL services.

Each could have thousands
of customers with multiple accounts.

Without understanding
what these numbers are or mean,

there's absolutely
no way of tracing them.

He should have been here by now.

Relax.

If Aubrey said he'll be here,
he will be here.

Told you.

You're late.

They killed Rivera before
he could detonate the bomb.

When?

About an hour ago. At the museum.

It's a fuck up.

Fuck!

What about the documentation?

The valuation papers
are in the envelope.

I'm seizing these on behalf
of the Belgian Government,

as they are in this jurisdiction.

But I request you
hold them for us until we
have arranged their transport

and handover
to the Irish Authorities.

Of course.

Thank you!

It's a typo.

What?

VTL. It's a typo.

It should be VLT for vault.

0685 was her safety box number.

It's also one of the VTL numbers.

What are the other ones?

It's, uh...

..3099, 4987,

6103, 7348.

Have you any safety boxes
matching those numbers?

Yes.

Check if they're owned
by Mevrouw Melnick

or members of her family
and, if they are,

I need to see inside them now.

OK.

James?

TELEVISION PLAYING

TV: They were the battlefields
upon which this election

would be fought and won or lost,
but it's clear now

that the terrorist attacks
in Brussels and Antwerp...

Arthur?

James?

TV: Long before
these recent attacks,

the National Reform Party had
adopted a hardline stance

on both immigration
and national purity,

and many believe they will be
the beneficiaries

of this political sea change.

Joanne, you've been monitoring
the exit polls...

James, call me when you get this.

I just want to speak to Arthur.

He's my son. I'm entitled to him.

..recent terrorist attacks?
Absolutely.

Please.

Only today, an attempted
attack on Maes himself

was foiled by police
at the Museum aan de Stroom.

These atrocities have
strengthened Maes' hand

as his party are for tightening

immigration controls
and closing our borders,

which presumably would put Belgium

on a collision course with the EU.

Maes' vision is of Belgium
leaving the EU and lowering

its corporate tax rates
to make it a haven

for business
and foreign investments.

I've even been hearing rumours
from party insiders

that Maes intends to sell
Antwerp Port to a consortium

of private business interests
and hedge funds

and use the money
to fund his policies.

Slainte. Slainte!

Sean. Have a look at this.

Fuck!

Yeah, fuck!

All in diamonds? Yeah. Not bad.

So... Are you the one coming
back to collect the diamonds?

I don't suppose
they'll be trusting me.

There might be a lot of paperwork

that requires your presence, no?

I doubt that.

Revenue will be taking care
of all that from now.

Maybe you'll have another reason
to come back for.

And then I can take
you out for dinner.

Yeah.

Maybe.

Thanks for everything.

Did your wife pick this suit
out for you?

Yes, she did. Of course.
Do you know why I know?

Because you don't look like a used
car salesman or a politician.

INDISTINCT

I'll be right back. Yeah, yeah.

Bibi, you shouldn't be here.

Well, I tried calling.

I need to speak to James.

Do you know where he and Arthur are?

Yes.
They're on their way to Vancouver

to stay with James' mother.

I need to see them.
So can you arrange it?

Can you speak to James?

James doesn't want you
anywhere near him or Arthur.

And I have to agree.

I think it's wise you put
space between you and them.

And you and I.

I did everything you asked.

Everything.

I even gave up Fionn.

And I still haven't said a word
about any of it to anyone.

Including James.

Yes, and your discretion
was greatly appreciated.

You said you'd protect me.

And I did. And I still am.

That's why you're still here.

Just be patient.

You should have come to me
for that fucking apartment.

Not Fionn.

Yeah, well, what's done is done.

I'm going to lose my family,
my business.

They've already taken my assets.

I'm going to be charged
with money laundering.

Keep your voice down.

You're going to be fine. Trust me.

A bit early to celebrate, isn't it?

Exit polls rarely lie.
You know that.

I see Maes is going
to privatise the Port.

Is that what this was all about?

You know, I really think
you should be leaving.

You help him get elected

and he sells Antwerp Port
to your company.

Goodbye, Bibi.

Mr Melnick would
like you to leave now.

Hey. Hey.

Welcome home, boss!
Welcome home, boss!

Did you see Gately on the news? No.

She was announcing our diamond haul
and, boy, did she look happy.

Did she mention us?
She wasn't that happy.

What are you having?
Oh, I'm driving, so...

Get her a large whisky.
No-one is driving tonight.

We're on it. OK.

You helped stop that attack

and we got 200 million
in state coffers.

You should be pleased.

What are you two smiling about?

A job well done by a great team.

Slainte! Slainte! Well done!

Another great job. Yow! Woohoo!

Your round.
