We need physical evidence tying
Richard Melnick to Hearst

I uncovered 27 companies
with the same address.

Shell companies? Exactly.

Bran-X Industries
own properties.

This is bricks and mortar.
Let's dust for explosives.

It's reading positive.
It's a bomb-making factory.

There's nothing linking this
building to Richard Melnick.

We need to find another
way of breaking Hearst.

You're being transferred to
the Counterterrorist Unit.

Take your hands off me, please.
Ah! I'm not a fucking terrorist!

It is too dangerous.

You don't make decisions,
you do as you're told.

They can get to anyone.

As long as you don't talk,
our families will be safe.

Richard Melnick
had a mole in CTU.

You thought it was me.

I couldn't take any chances.

Bibi was our only witness.

I told you to bring
Arthur to Ireland!

I told you these
people were dangerous

and you didn't believe me!

You're right, James
was collateral damage.

The hit-and-run was a ploy.

This was all to get her to Antwerp.

It's a trap.

SIREN WAILS

We're not going to make it.

They don't land for
another 25 minutes.

Not a chance. I'll call
Vince to go and meet them.

No.

Vince is an asshole, OK, but
he's not a snitch. I trust him.

Well, I don't.

If you're right about
Bibi being lured here,

she needs armed protection
at that airport,

and we're not going
to be there in time.

So, we either leave her
exposed and vulnerable,

or we have Vince meet her and Sean
and take them to the safe house.

This can't get around the CTU.

I'll make sure Vince
knows to be very discreet.

OK.

Vince has collected Bibi
and Sean from the airport.

They're on their way here now.

We still have time to
call for armed support

and secure the whole area.

You agreed, we keep this small.

Every time we share information
with your department,

it gets leaked. I want as few people
as possible knowing

where Bibi's going
to be staying. OK?

Yeah, OK.

PHONE RINGS

They'll be here any minute.

Get Vince to pull the car up

to the front door,
the closer the better.

KEYPAD BEEPS

Get down!

GUNSHOT

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!

Stay down low, you'll be fine.

Anyone sees where
it's coming from?

He was on the roof,
across the street.

You're all right, Mila?

I can't see anyone up there.

It was the second building
on the corner.

He's gone.
He's trying to escape.

Mila, you come with me.

I'll come too!

You stay until DSU arrives.

Make sure Ms Brannigan
is protected and safe.

OK.

How long till armed
support gets here?

Ten minutes.

Hey! Police, stop!

Police! Stop or I shoot!

GUNSHOT

Raise your hands!

Turn around!

Put the bag on the ground.

GUNSHOT

You did well, Mila. Really well.

Now you need to be strong, OK?

Ah!

PHONE RINGS

It's Mila.

Mila!

He was waiting for
us when we came out.

He shot Christian and hit me.

SIRENS APPROACH

Here. Get that into you.

Ah, you're a life-saver.

You need to see this.

What is it? What's happened?

Chief Inspector De Jong was killed.

HELICOPTER OVERHEAD

Boss.

Yeah?

Bibi's refusing to go
to the new safe house.

I don't have time
to argue with you.

Then don't.

We're all just trying
to keep you safe.

SHE LAUGHS
Doing a pretty shit job of it.

That's the second time someone

has shot at me whilst I've been
in your care.

I warned you we
couldn't trust the CTU.

It may have slipped
your attention,

but the head of that unit just
lost his life to protect yours.

How did the gunman know
we were coming here?

It hasn't been established yet.

If you were me, would
you put your life

in the hands of the CTU?

Probably not.

I have to see my son and I need
to be sure we're safe.

We'll stay at James' apartment,
he'll feel secure there.

Sean can stay with you,

but he can't be armed
here in Belgium.

I've hired private security.

If there's any problems,
call me.

Will do.

Vince.

The attempted shooting of Bibi
in Ireland was also a sniper

from a distance, just like this,
and we know it was Aubrey Cline.

It wasn't Cline this time.
But the MO is the exact same.

Yeah, but Mila saw the shooter.

She was able to give us a detailed
description of the man.

This is the person
we're looking for. That's not Cline.

I need to talk to Hearst
to see what he knows.

You'll have to wait until
I'm free to sit in with you.

Hearst is a CAB prisoner.
But he's in our custody.

Yeah, but that was just
to put pressure on him.

Regardless, you
can't interview him

without a senior member
of CTU present.

Our priority right now is
the murder of Christian.

But it's all linked.

Hearst, Christian's killer,
Richard Melnick, Trestford,

the sale of the port.

We don't know that.
Of course, we do!

That gunman was trying
to kill Bibi Brannigan!

The sale of the port
closes tomorrow.

If Christian was here,
he would want us to do

everything in our power
to stop that happening.

But he's not here, I am.

And my priority is
catching the person

who killed Christian,
nothing else.

But how can you even...
There is no but.

That is my decision
as the acting chief.

Henry, I assume
you heard the news.

We did not sign off on killing
a senior police officer.

This was unintended.

Bibi Brannigan was the target.

It's making people
nervous, Frances.

All attention is now focused
on catching De Jong's killer.

That will keep the police
occupied until after

the port transfer has been
signed tomorrow evening.

The port is the objective,

we can't lose sight of that.

Any loose ends can
be dealt with after.

I hope your confidence
is not misguided.

It's not, trust me.

Let me know if anything changes.

How did the gunman know
that's where Bibi was going?

I think there is a leak in CTU.

What? Why?

Bibi claims that
Richard Melnick said

he had a source inside CTU.

That's how they were staying
ahead of the investigation.

A leak in CTU would explain a lot.

I decided to keep it
quiet so as not to tip off

the mole that we're onto them.

So, who in CTU knew where
you were taking Bibi today?

Christian...who then told Vince,

who brought Mila with him.

The same Vince who's
denying us access to Hearst

and has shut down the investigation
into the port sale?

We're on our own for now.

Hearst may be out of reach,
but I have an idea of how

to get to Richard Melnick's
financials.

How? Come with me.

She might not want to talk to us,
but it's worth the try.

Claire Wallace?

We've spoken before
on the phone.

I'm Passent Hussein,
Vandaag newspaper.

I was hoping we could talk.

This is not a good time.

I've just got some questions
I'd like to ask you.

Put them in writing,
send them to press@garda.ie.

They'll get to me eventually.

Chief Inspector De Jong was
happy to speak to me earlier.

About what?

About Viktor Maes and
Richard Melnick,

the sale of the port
to Niskus Group,

the review into Trestford.

If Christian told you everything,
what do you need me for?

He asked me not to run the story

on Viktor Maes' links
to Richard Melnick.

Why would he do that?

He said it might derail
an active investigation

into events around
the sale of a port.

He asked me to hold the story

in return for an exclusive.

Off the record? Absolutely.

What Christian told
you is correct.

But that investigation
has now been put on ice

by the new acting chief of CTU.

Why would he do that?

The deal is being signed tomorrow.

Maybe that's a question you should
be asking in your newspaper.

Name, please.

DS Claire Wallace, but we've already
been through this with

the guys outside. Yes, can you check
Detective... It's OK.

Please.

How is she?

Happier now she has Arthur with her.

Does he know what happened
to his father?

I think she's telling him now.

The last time I spoke to your dad,

he told me how much he loved you...

..more than anything.

And he'll be looking down
on you now from heaven

and seeing what a brave boy you are.

I'm really sorry to interrupt,

but there's something we need
to discuss with you. Can't it wait?

I think you're going to
want to hear this.

Why don't I take Arthur
and get him something to eat?

I think I saw some
pizza in the fridge?

OK.

I'll be right here
if you need me, darling, OK?

Come on, buddy.

What is so important?

We thought you should know

that the investigation
has been put on hold.

Why?

CTU are focusing on catching
Chief Inspector De Jong's murderer.

Does that mean the sale of the port
will go through tomorrow?

It looks like it.

Everything that's happened,

the bombings, the murders,
everything,

is all because Trestford
wants that port.

And now they're going to get it!
They're going to fucking win!

It's not what we want either.

Do you know how much I've risked
to help you get them?

Those people have tried to kill me.
They've attacked my family.

My brother is dead!
James is dead!

And you're going to stand there

and shrug your shoulders
like it doesn't matter?!

We don't have evidence directly
connecting Trestford to the crimes.

What about Hearst?

Surely you got something from him?!

He's been kept at CTU.

We no longer have access to him.

Well, Richard's driver then!

You said he was the one
who tried to kill me.

Can't you use that against them

Frances Swann is claiming
that he was hired privately

by your father-in-law,

and that Trestford never had
any direct dealings with him.

There must be something you can do.

The person we keep coming
back to is Richard.

He was at the centre of all this,

but we've never been able to gain
access to any of his accounts.

If you could help us with that...

I don't have access
to Richard's finances.

No, but if James is

the sole heir to
his father's entire estate,

there must be a will detailing what
that estate comprises.

Are you joking?

I don't see any other way.

Let's hope he remained
a creature of habit.

WHIRRING

There it is.

There are dozens
and dozens of appendices

of all Richard's assets
and business interests.

Do you mind if I have a look?

We're all after the same thing,
Bibi.

These are all the companies
he has shares in.

It's pages and pages of them.

We need to go through
these carefully one-by-one

and see if anything here
matches Hearst's files.

Hi, Mila. Hi, Josh.

Jesus! Are you OK?

It looks a lot worse than it is.

I was just checking in to see
how you were getting on

with Richard Melnick's phone.

Nothing of interest so far.

Yes. That was my experience too.

Listen, are you on your own there?
Yeah, I'm in a stairwell.

OK. Look, this may be nothing,

just a gut feeling,

but something feels off
about Melnick's phone.

The stuff on it is so lacking
in any personality.

It almost feels curated.

Is there a chance someone could
have tampered with the phone,

wiped it of anything incriminating
to throw us off track? No.

It's more likely that
Richard Melnick knew

to leave nothing
incriminating on it.

And I was responsible for the phone
after it was handed in.

And then I gave it to you.
So, no-one tampered with it.

I have to go.

Of course. Don't worry.

This is not what I agreed to.

My commanding officer is dead!

I'm done.

I'm out.

Mila, you've been paid
very well for your service.

You are done when the port deal
is signed,

not a moment before that.

Don't forget what could
happen to your mother.

Here, look at this.

There's a list of
Declaration of Trust.

Remember that apartment
Darren Reid bought

for your brother in Antwerp?

Yes. Well, the title deeds were
in Darren Reid's name,

but there was also
a Declaration of Trust, stating

that Reid was only holding
the apartment in trust for Fionn.

So, what are these for?

Four properties in Antwerp,

held in trust for Richard Melnick,

all in the name of Chessa Reyes.

Chessa?!

Chessa's Arthur's nanny.

DOOR CLOSES

If Chessa's holding property
in trust for Richard, then...

It's to hide the fact that
Richard owned these properties.

Boss.

Uh, could I have a word?

What's up, Josh?

I think Mila is the leak in CTU.

Why?

Mila called me

and I mentioned
Richard Melnick's phone

because the data on it felt wrong,

like it'd been carefully cleaned.

And when I asked her if
she thought it could've been

deliberately tampered with,

she assumed I was talking about
after it was handed in.

The natural assumption would be
that James Melnick wiped it

before he handed it in,

but that's not what she thought.

It's hardly a smoking gun.

So then I checked the
ROM files, which control

the operating system,
work flow, user authentication...

Yeah, yeah, we don't
need the details, Josh.

They indicate that
the last recorded actions,

before I got the phone,
were all delete commands,

meaning data was deleted.

This was a sophisticated job.

And Mila was responsible for
the phone after it was handed in.

We need a word with you.

Is this about this bullshit
story in the paper

about us shutting down
the investigation?

It's all true, isn't it?

We just lost a friend
and a colleague,

so I'm not going to apologise
for trying to find his killer

above everything else.

Then, you might want to hear
what I have to say. Follow me.

This better be important.

At the very beginning
of this investigation,

we received information
that Trestford had a mole

within your department
who was leaking information.

That's ridiculous.

Every time there's a breakthrough,
someone gets there ahead of us.

Just look at what happened
with Rojas, Ortiz, Daniel Katz.

The pattern's very clear.

I trust everyone on my team.

That's exactly what Christian said
when I told him about this.

He especially trusted you.

That's why he asked you
to collect Bibi Brannigan

at the airport and tell no-one.

But still, the gunman
managed to be there, waiting

in position when Bibi arrived.

He had to have been tipped off.

I hope you're not fucking
suggesting that I did that.

No, I'm not.

You're going to have to
wait here a minute. Mila!

Where's your phone?

Unlock it.

Nothing I can see right now,

but if you give me time,
I can do a deep dive.

We have to check her computer.

Yeah, of course, it's over there.

Give me your bag.

Unlock it.

Check the messages.

Most of the messages
are deleted.

The last one sent says...

.."We're taking her to
Lange Gasthuisstraat 37."

I can't believe
I'm saying this, Mila,

but you are under arrest

for your part in the murder
of Christian De Jong.

SHE SIGHS

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Thank you.

Any luck?

Not so far.

I don't have time to go
through all this thoroughly,

so I have a list of companies

we haven't been able
to trace ownership of.

I'm checking if they match
anything on this list.

Want another pair of eyes?

OK.

And it's not just exact
matches you're looking for,

but fragments of names.

When people are setting up
lots of shell companies,

they usually use variations
on a single name,

like Glen William,
Glen Jones, Glen Thomas and...

But I guess you know
all about that already.

Well?

The phone Mila was texting
is a pay-as-you-go phone

registered to a false name.

Hmm. Can we pinpoint its location?

We can probably triangulate
a rough location,

but it won't be done by today.

And we can't question Mila
until her lawyer is here.

I'm not sure how much we can
trust anything she says.

I believe the suspect description
she gave

for Christian's killer is false

and designed to mislead.

I think the person we should be
looking for is Aubrey Cline.

And I have every police officer
in Belgium

looking for someone
who doesn't even exist.

Maybe that's good for us. If Cline
doesn't know we're looking for him,

he'll feel more secure.
It's one way of looking at it.

What's always bothered me

about Cline is how he can
turn up, commit these crimes,

and then completely fall off
the radar. How does he disappear?

Where is he hiding?

You have a theory?

We know that Richard Melnick
arranged safe houses

for the bombers to stay in, before
they carried out the bombings.

When we were going
through his estate,

we found four properties

with title deeds under the name
of Arthur Melnick's nanny.

They were just being held
in trust for Melnick.

You have the addresses
for these properties?

I'm not handing these over

and having you lock us
out of the case again.

OK, you can come with us to get
Cline, but it's my arrest.

And in return, you let us
question Hearst?

Agreed.

In just over two hours,

they're signing the contract
for the port.

You want to stop Trestford?
We move now.

I think I may have found
a possible connection.

Here, between one of Richard's
companies,

Scarpia, and a company
on your watch list -

Bran-X Industries?

Bran-X...

That's a shell company
who owns a warehouse

where we found evidence
of a bomb-making factory.

Then, I think we should check
it against these ones as well -

Altoum Limited,

Buoso Limited

and Lastouc Limited.

Scarpia is a character from Tosca.

Altoum, Buoso and Lastouc
are all characters

from Puccini operas too.

Richard loved his opera.

Of course, he did.

Ms Swann?
Ms Swann, do you wish to comment

on the ongoing investigations
into corruption

involving Viktor Maes,
Richard Melnick

and the sale of Port of Antwerp

to Trestford and
Niskus Group Limited?

That is a question for Viktor Maes.

SHE SIGHS

HE RINGS BUZZER

Copy that.

We've had dozens of media requests
for interviews.

I don't want any interviews today.

You'll have to make some kind of
statement.

I suggest that we pick maybe two or
three prestigious newspapers,

like the Financial Times
and the Wall Street Journal

for one on ones,

and then, just give a couple of
television interviews too.

For the rest, we can issue a
blanket press release.

Sorry. We are ready for you onstage.
Perfect.

Thanks, Norah.
I'll talk to you later.

One of Richard's companies owns
the land the warehouse

where we found the
bomb-making equipment is on.

So, we have an evidential link
between Richard Melnick

and last year's terrorist attacks?
Exactly.

Is it enough to stop the deal?

I doubt it.

Swann and Trestford are going to
argue that Richard Melnick

operated alone and independently.
Nothing to do with them.

DOORBELL

Yeah?

This is Block 2.
Block 1 is the building across.

Oh. Sorry about that.

OK. Thank you. Bye-bye.

CAR DOOR SHUTS, ENGINE STARTS

RADIO: Target is inside.

Move in!

Go, go!

Clear! Clear!

Clear!

Target escaped from rear.

CAR ALARM BEEPS

Put your weapon down!

I said put your hands up!

I won't ask again!

Put your gun down
and raise your hands!

OK.

GUNSHOT

HE BREATHES SHAKILY

Target down.

And you sign the contract over here

on behalf of Niskus Group Limited.

And then you look out at the press
and smile.

And that's all there is to it.

How long before we get started?

Um, not long. We're going to start
letting people in now.

Great.

Inspect this table for fingerprints.
OK, I'll do it.

Bag everything. Forensics will...

Different identities.

It's all him.

Can I get a photo of these bank
cards? Of course.

Thank you.

Josh? Yeah?

I've just sent you
some bank account details.

I need you to check them out.
Hang on, it won't take long.

Sure, I can wait.

Hey. Your badge, madam. Thank you,
Vicky. And these?

Yeah, we'll go through that later,
OK? OK.

They're saying ten minutes. Mm-hm.

This is an amazing achievement.

It's taken a long time to get here.

You should try to enjoy it.

You're right. I will.

Do you hear that? What?

The sirens.

What's going on? What's this?

Frances Swann, you are under arrest

for suspicion of murder
by joint enterprise,

perverting the course of justice,
and fraud.

This is ludicrous.

Do you know Aubrey Cline?

Like I said, he was
Richard Melnick's private driver.

We have evidence that
you signed off on payments

made to a number of bank accounts
held by Aubrey Cline.

These payments came from
a Trestford subsidiary company.

I want to see my lawyer.
Bring her in!

I want to see my lawyer.
Take her away.

Get your hands off me!
This can't be true!

What's going on, Frances?

How was Richard Melnick involved?

Ms Swann, what do you say to these
allegations?

What do you have to say?

CROWD CHATTERS

Do you have any comments? No.

Of course, I feel vindicated.

We have been shouting for weeks

for a review of Trestford
and Niskus Group's bid.

But I've spoken directly
to Mayor Peeters

and he has assured me that,
following today's events,

any agreement with Trestford
and Niskus Group

is null and void.

So, I'm very confident

that our consortium will be
stepping into first position

and the sale will be
closed within weeks.

Thank you very much.

JOURNALISTS CLAMOUR

Nice to meet you, Mr Hearst.

I'm Norah Dillon from the
Irish Criminal Assets Bureau.

No, no, no. If you want to interview
me, I want a lawyer here.

Oh, I'm not here to question you,
I'm here to help you.

I doubt that.

We have a paper trail that links
Richard Melnick through you

to the warehouse
where last year's bombs were made.

Frances Swann,
Richard's successor at Trestfort,

has been arrested
on murder and terrorism charges.

The sale of Antwerp Port
to Trestford is cancelled.

Look, I'm just an accountant,

a businessman, nothing else.

It doesn't matter.

You helped facilitate
a terrorist campaign

that led to the killing of dozens of
people. You're looking at...

..multiple life sentences.

Now, help us, and we can have those
charges reduced.

It doesn't matter.

If I talk to you, they will kill me.

We can protect you.

No, no, no, you can't.
Not from these people.

If you give me your Irish clients,

I know they're not the ones
you're afraid of...

..then I can make the case
for reduced charges

and talk to CTU
about witness protection.

Only the Irish ones?

SHE CLICKS PEN

Yes.

Vince was just telling us Mila
has decided to cooperate

with the investigation.

She's distraught.
Yeah, she should be.

And we can use that.

She was just foolish, Josh.

They've asked her for a small favour
to begin with.

And once you do that, they've got
you. Trapped.

Mila fooled all of us, Josh.

Her life is over and she knows it.

Helping us now,
it's all she has left.

Dealing with Mila
after what she's done...

..it can't be easy.

I need her, to build the case
against Swann and Trestford.

One thing that doesn't make sense -

she's claiming they had nothing
to do with the computer hacks.

Maybe she's trying to limit
the charges against her?

With what we already have, admitting
to that wouldn't make

any difference to her sentence.

Do you think someone else
was involved in all of this?

Like who?

Look...

..today is about Christian.

We got the people
behind the bombings.

I think he'd be happy with that.
Yeah. Sure.

Yeah. Slainte.

ALL: Slainte.

To Christian.

ALL: To Christian.

CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS ON CAR RADIO

I'll be right back, sweetie.
OK, mom.

Have you got what you owe me?

All the details are on there.

The diamonds are spread
across 16 bank vaults.

What about Siobhan and the kids?

Their money has been transferred
to the agreed accounts in Barbados.

You've done very well out of this.

How many billions is your company
going to make from this port deal?

Exactly.

If it wasn't for me, Trestford would
now own that port.

I showed you how to do this.

I let you blow up my car
and kill my father-in-law.

I think 400 million is
a small price for all of that.
