Listen, I'm from the Bronx, so you need to keep it simple.
Why is the bank buying all this missile-guidance stuff from Calvini?
I don't get it.
The window will stay closed.
You need to relax.
I'm more comfortable tense.
You came to us, remember?
You wanted a way out and I'm offering you one.
I only met you 30 minutes ago...
...and now you expect me just to walk away from everything I know...
...put my life in your hands.
You want a little more time to think things through, I get it...
...but we're gonna need another meet...
...and I'm gonna need to see some paper.
Yes. Now get out of the car.
-Hey. -Ella?
-You done? -Yeah, I just met with him.
-And? -Oh, he's real.
He's real enough to blow this thing wide open.
He told me the bank's buying $200 million worth...
...of missile-guidance systems.
-What do they need those for? -I don't know.
You gonna see him a second time?
Yeah, yeah. Listen, we're gonna meet again. He's agreed to bring me paper.
Right, I'II call you later.
Thanks, Elle.
Hey.
Are you experiencing any blurred or double vision?
No.
Nothing.
Just follow the light, please.
It's been noted that you were experiencing ringing in your ears.
Yes.
Well, I would like to keep you here overnight for observation.
That won't be necessary.
Where's my colleague?
Thomas Schumer.
It was definitely a heart attack?
''Acute myocardial infarction.'' Yes.
Your penlight, can I use it?
What are you doing?
Can you help me turn him over?
-I'm afraid I can't allow you to-- -Just help me.
We need to contact the Berlin police and request an immediate autopsy.
Why?
Because I don't think this man died of natural causes.
Come on, Ella.
If Schumer met this insider in Berlin...
...odds are this guy's a foreign national. So it's federal.
But you're not listening to me. Let them meet again.
The guy's gonna bring paper and Tommy will close him.
You still have to coordinate with Justice if you want witness protection.
I just tried both their cells again. Straight to voicemail.
Shit.
I'm gonna try Tommy's wife at work. If I have to bring DOJ into this...
...they're gonna do what they've always done with this.
They're gonna stall us with red tape, informant's gonna bolt...
...and I'm telling you, he could be the bombshell...
...we've spent the last two years looking for.
Voicemail.
What's going on? Why aren't they calling us back?
What do you want me to do? I can't afford another turf war.
-It's Salinger. -Finality. Put him on speaker.
Jesus, Lou. What took you guys so long?
Hello? You there?
Yeah.
So, what's up?
Tommy's dead.
What?
He's dead, Ella.
I need you to get over here as soon as you can.
Unnaturally red blood, lambent membranes.
Two key indicators of hydrocyanic poisoning.
This lesion on the neck...
...is how the poison was introduced into the bloodstream, percutaneously.
The lesion tested negative for any poison.
There are any number of reasons for this discoloration of the blood...
...least likely of which is hydrocyanic--
I'm telling you, he was murdered.
Well, I'm assuming you suspect a combination...
...of prussic acid and DMSO...
...but then the reaction time would have been immediate.
Within one minute.
Which means the killer would have had to deliver the toxin...
...after Schumer exited the car.
So did you see anything unusual?
Anybody approaching Schumer?
No. I mean....
I don't know.
What is it that makes you so certain he was assassinated?
Agent Salinger and I have reason to believe this might be connected...
...to an ongoing investigation being conducted...
...by both my team at the Manhattan DA's office and Interpol.
-What investigation? -I run a group at Interpol...
...that focuses on financial operations associated with organized crime.
About two years ago, we began receiving correlated intelligence...
...regarding the illicit activities of a bank based out of Luxembourg...
...the International Bank of Business and Credit.
Under the direction of its chairman, Jonas Skarssen...
...we believe the IBBC has quietly become the bank of choice...
...for monies associated with organized crime, capital flight--
How is any of this related to Schumer and the New York DA's office?
The IBBC's Manhattan branch...
...is the epicenter of its U.S. money-laundering operation.
Schumer and I were working this case together.
Agent Salinger and his department have been assisting us.
Why weren't we informed of these details prior to this briefing?
What was Schumer doing here in Berlin?
I set him up on a blind date with an IBBC executive...
...who was aware of our investigation and looking to make a deal.
And the identity of this informant?
We don't know. He took precautions to keep his identity anonymous.
For the past 12 hours, I've been trying hard to find him.
I believe that if this man isn't already dead, he soon will be.
Why?
Because, just like Schumer...
...anyone that's in a position to move against this bank...
...has either ended up dead or disappeared.
Agent Salinger, given your history with this matter...
...I should think you would be more careful...
...before making such extreme accusations.
My history? What are you talking about?
We've reviewed your dossier.
Have you?
Well, that means you know just about shit.
I realize this is a trying time for you both, but until I'm provided...
...with something more compelling than unsubstantiated theories...
...pursuing the IBBC is simply not going to happen here in Germany.
Concorde Hotel, please.
What was that back there? What history was Diemer talking about?
-Don't worry. -Don't give me that shit.
-What do they know that I don't? -They don't know anything.
Enough to get a rise out of you.
I'm not getting into it. You're so curious, read my file.
I should never have let Tommy walk into this.
You didn't. I approved the meet.
I was across the fucking street, Ella.
I was right there.
I saw him go down.
I didn't see a thing.
We won't let them bury this, Lou.
This canvas appeals to you?
I like the look of agony.
Why?
Because I know it's true.
What am I doing here?
Umberto Calvini is disengaging from the deal.
Your principle would like to bring you in to troubleshoot the situation.
If Calvini refuses to move forward, my involvement won't make a difference.
Your involvement would allow them to appeal to Calvini's two sons...
...who are much more open-minded.
You'll find all the details in the file.
I'II contact you once negotiations are underway.
IBBC executive dies in freak road accident
Luxembourg high society in shock at death of André Clément
Rene?
What are you doing here so early?
Salinger.
I found the insider.
What?
I found the guy that Schumer met with in Berlin.
André Clément?
The IBBC's senior vice president of acquisitions.
He was killed in a road accident just outside Luxembourg...
...approximately nine hours after Schumer's death.
And this is the gendarmerie's preliminary accident report.
He arrived in Berlin at 8 a.m...
...on Luxair, Flight 9871 from Luxembourg.
What doesn't track is in his statement, the IBBC chairman, Jonas Skarssen...
...claims that Clément had been with him in Luxembourg since 10 a.m...
...which is obviously impossible if Clément arrived in Berlin at 8 a.m.
Did the gendarmerie say anything about this inconsistency?
Nothing.
-I haven't told them. -What?
I wanna go to Luxembourg and question Skarssen myself.
-No. Absolutely no. -Viktor, listen to me.
I go to Luxembourg, Skarssen confirms that statement...
...I catch him in that lie, I can build--
For chrissake, Lou, you're not at the Yard anymore.
Interpol is not in the law-enforcement business.
We deal in intelligence and facilitation.
Focus on that, work that and pass your take onto the appropriate authorities.
And then what?
You know we've been circulating our take since the very beginning.
No one ever does anything, no one ever can.
Whatever case we have gets lost in the complexities of international law.
Schumer, Clément...
...this entire fucking wall.
There's nothing that complex about cold-blooded murder.
Hi. I've got an appointment with Mr. Skarssen.
-Your name, please? -Mr. Salinger? Please follow me.
Mr. Skarssen.
Agent Salinger? Please follow me.
Mr. White.
Agent Salinger. I apologize for the wait.
I'm Martin White, the IBBC's legal counsel.
This is Commissioner Villon of the gendarmerie.
I thought it useful for him to join us, considering the nature of your query.
Please, have a seat.
I think there's some misunderstanding.
I'm here to speak with Mr. Skarssen.
Yes, but as Mr. Skarssen's attorney, I insisted that I speak with you first.
Mr. White, I had a confirmed meeting with Mr. Skarssen at 11:00.
If I was gonna meet with you first, why didn't anybody tell me?
I understand, and I'm sorry for the confusion...
...but I'm sure I can help answer your questions.
Now, please, have a seat.
As I'm sure you're aware...
...I have some questions regarding André Clément.
Yes.
It's my understanding that Mr. Clément was working...
...at Mr. Skarssen's residence the night he was killed.
The night of the accident, yes.
What time did he arrive at Skarssen's home that day?
If I recall correctly, around 6 p.m.
-You were there? -Yes.
And you're certain about this time?
Quite.
I'm confused.
What you're telling me conflicts with Skarssen's statement...
...in the gendarmerie's accident report...
...which was that Clément had been working with him since 10 a.m.
I was present when Mr. Skarssen gave his statement.
-That is not what he said. -It is according to this report.
May I?
There is an error in the preliminary draft.
The time is wrong.
The finalized report here says Clément arrived at 6 p.m.
Clerical errors like this can happen from time to time.
This is why the gendarmerie discourages the release...
...of any preliminary documentation pertaining to open cases.
So is there anything else we can do for you, Agent Salinger?
-Yeah. -It's me.
I just got the results from the tox analysis I ran on Schumer.
-And? -It's inconclusive.
Inconclusive? What the hell is that supposed to mean?
They found trace elements of cyanide in his blood...
...but the levels are not nearly high enough...
...to meet their criteria for poisoning.
Are you there?
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
Are you crazy?
Madame Clément?
It's Eleanor Whitman from the New York District Attorney's office.
I already left a couple messages just--
Mrs. Clément, I'm sorry to keep calling you.
I can only imagine what a difficult time this must be for you.
But I'm not convinced your husband's death was an accident.
Look, here's my cell number.
001-917-135-6565.
You can call any time--
Stop calling me. I have nothing to say to you. Just leave me alone.
Please. I just need to ask you a few questions.
I have two children. They've already lost their father.
-I understand. -No, you don't.
Are you aware your husband met with our investigators...
...the day he was killed?
You ever planning to come to bed?
-I heard your voice. -I'm sorry.
-When'd he come in here? -An hour ago.
T. rex was in the closet again.
Let me take him back.
Come on, buddy.
Lou?
They knew about the discrepancy in the report.
They had Skarssen's statement changed.
How did they know, Viktor?
-Come inside. -No.
Are you insane? It's freezing out.
Come outside.
Stop it!
Lou, wait.
Lou.
Have you lost your mind?
I think we take the dog for a walk.
Get some fresh air.
Who did this?
Who do you think?
From my apartment.
Whitman's got them too.
We need to inform the secretary general immediately.
You gotta be kidding.
We start setting off alarms, the opportunity will be lost.
Opportunity?
The last thing Schumer told Ella...
...was that Clément was giving him information on an IBBC arms deal.
Umberto Calvini.
Chairman of Calvini Defense, one of the largest defense contractors.
And probably Italy’s next prime minister.
This guy standing next to him, that's our insider.
André Clément.
And?
Whitman found out that Clément was negotiating for the IBBC...
...to purchase a large number of missile guidance...
...and control systems from Calvini Defense.
But at the very last minute, the deal collapsed.
What happened?
We don't know. Whitman's meeting me in Milan tomorrow.
We're gonna talk to Calvini and find out.
-Hey. -Hey.
Eleanor Whitman, this is Inspector Alberto Cerutti.
-Charmed. -Nice to meet you.
Please, there's not much time.
Calvini leaves for Turin immediately after this engagement.
I didn't realize we were meeting at a political rally.
Best we could do on such short notice.
Thirtieth floor. I'II be waiting outside.
You need to press the button.
You look awful.
Thanks.
When was the last time you got any sleep?
Don't know.
When was the last time you had a healthy meal?
Can't remember.
-How about the last time you got laid? -Why, are you offering?
You need to take better care of yourself, Lou.
I can't have you crash and burn like you did two years ago.
Please follow me.
This meeting is strictly off the record.
Mr. Calvini cannot be entangled in your investigation...
...nor can his participation in this discussion find its way to the press.
We understand.
Wait here for a moment.
So you read my file.
I made a few calls to London.
You should’ve told me everything...
...with your IBBC case at the Yard. You should’ve told me it's why you left.
What did they tell you?
That you screwed up because the witness you brought in was a joke.
And when you were forced to drop him, the case fell apart.
You flipped out, attacked the assistant commissioner and broke his nose.
My case did not fall apart, it was shut down, and my witness was rock-solid.
He gave us everything we needed against the bank...
...and then suddenly, out of nowhere, my AC forced me to cut him loose.
Three days later, they all died in a car crash.
-''They''? -He had a wife and two kids.
Mr. Calvini, we'd like to know why the IBBC, a bank...
...would be purchasing millions of dollars worth of missile guidance...
...and control systems from your company.
The IBBC has purchased billions of dollars worth...
...of Silkworm missiles from the People’s Republic of China...
...which they have presold to clients in the Middle East...
...contingent upon the missiles...
...being equipped with VOLCON guidance systems.
My company's one of only two in the world which produce the VOLCON.
-Who's the other? -Sunay. Ahmet Sunay.
Of Turkish Aerotech?
But why is the bank committing so much capital and resources...
...to the sale of these missiles?
It's a test.
Small arms are the only weapons used...
...in 99 percent of the world’s conflicts...
...and no one has the capacity to manufacture them...
...faster and cheaper than China.
What Skarssen is attempting to do...
...is to make the IBBC the exclusive broker...
...of Chinese small arms to the Third World.
And the missile deal is the gateway transaction.
Yeah, but bunions of dinars invested simply to be a broker?
There can't be much profit for them.
No. This is not about making profit from weapon sales.
It's about control.
Control the flow of weapons, control the conflict.
No.
No, no. The IBBC is a bank.
Their objective isn't to control the conflict...
...it's to control the debt that the conflict produces.
You see, the real value of a conflict...
...the true value...
...is in the debt that it creates.
You control the debt...
...you control everything.
You find this upsetting, yes?
But this is the very essence of the banking industry...
...to make us all, whether we be nations or individuals...
...slaves to debt.
You sound like you're not very fond of the IBBC.
What happened?
I was fond of André Clément.
I trusted him...
...and he was a good friend.
Then help us make sure he didn't die in vain.
Find me after the speech.
We can talk in the car on my way to the airport.
Umberto Calvini.
Definitely connected to any--
What the hell is going on?
They shot him!
Secure this area and block all exits, now.
Go!
Oh, my God. Are you all right?
I think so.
Take that left. Maybe you can cut him off.
Go.
Go!
Turn off the engine...
...and stick your hands out of the window!
Turn off the engine...
...and stick your hands out of the window! Now!
Our relationship with the Swiss has become impossible over the past year.
They are discounting our dollar deposits...
...by 160 basis points below par.
They have doubled the cost of moving our money.
Well, general, what do you expect?
You've been in the jungle long enough...
...to know that when the lion kills, it's the jackal that profits.
Yes.
The IBBC is specifically structured...
...to handle the particular needs of your type of organization.
We can give you better rates and terms than other competitors...
...but we can offer you much more:
Weapons...
...intelligence, logistical support...
...everything that the Revolutionary Freedom Front...
...would need to revive itself.
But in exchange for what?
You must understand, the RFF has no money.
Money is not this institution's primary medium of exchange.
What are you proposing exactly?
We believe that, with the right kind of direction and support...
...the RFF could become a very influential force in your country.
Perhaps potent enough...
...to stage a successful coup in the coming months.
And if this were possible...
...what does your bank hope to gain from it?
The gratitude and consideration of a very influential friend.
Excuse me.
Mr. White and Mr. Ehames asked me to interrupt.
Would you excuse me, general? I'II be right back.
What is it?
Approximately 30 minutes ago, Umberto Calvini was assassinated...
...while giving a speech at a political rally in Milan.
We've been discussing it.
I think we should wait until the authorities resolve the matter...
...and then approach the sons to revive negotiations.
How long will this take?
I've been assured the investigation will move swiftly...
...but unexpected fallout of an event like this can always complicate things.
We only have 60 days left to deliver the worms.
There's no time for complications.
That's a risk you take with such an ambitious agenda.
I don't foresee any problems. Had it not been for their father...
...Mario and Enzo Calvini would have made our deal long ago.
Now there's no reason for them not to move forward.
An important man and devoted father has just been killed.
I suggest that we send a letter to Calvini’s family...
...extending our heartfelt prayers and condolences for their terrible loss.
I don't know, but I'm okay.
The doctors checked me out thoroughly.
Kiss Jake for me, will you?
So the shooter was identified as a member of the Red Brigade.
What about the guy in the car?
Car was stolen. They were unable to lift prints, fibers or residue...
...or locate any witnesses who saw him exiting the vehicle.
-So? -So the carabinieri are announcing...
...that the Red Brigade was responsible...
...for the assassination at the press conference tonight.
We're not convinced the Red Brigade's behind this.
Someone could simply be making it appear as though they are.
This isn't my case...
...and the man in charge of the investigation is very powerful...
...and a real bastard.
AII we wanna do is just look around a little.
-Antonio. -Alberto.
Just a moment.
They done the trajectory analysis yet?
Cerutti said no.
If there was a second shooter, he could’ve positioned himself here.
The stopwatch they found in the room...
...it was set on a one-minute countdown, yes?
Right. Calvini was killed a little over one minute into his speech.
What if this was all synchronized?
Okay...
...let's say I'm the second shooter.
The guy below doesn't know I'm here...
...but I'm positioned right above his room.
I'm armed with a Sauer 200 rifle, just like he is.
I have a stopwatch set on a one-minute countdown...
...which I start when Calvini begins his speech.
The sniper below has been instructed to do the same...
...because that's when he's gonna fire his first bullet.
If he misses, I'm ready to follow through with one of my own.
The sniper fires, misses.
Seconds later...
...I take Calvini out with a headshot.
It's a good theory, but there's one problem.
Why?
Two shots were fired from the window...
...two slugs were recovered...
...and two casings were found next to the gun...
...ballistics confirming that the casings came from the gun in the hotel room.
So if the kill shot came from a second shooter here on the roof...
...that'd be a total of three bullets fired.
How do you explain the absence of the third bullet?
I can't.
I think I've seen this print before.
Where?
Hanging on the wall of my office.
So this was lifted from the scene of the Stefan Heuss hit in Brussels last year.
A former IMF executive director.
Has he ever seen a tread pattern like this before?
He believes it came from a custom shoe made for a leg brace.
The braces are typicality made out of steel...
...or alloy, but the condition of the leg...
...would determine the specific type of device used.
He says that the prints are a probable match.
Please get these over to Alan Kovacs at FBI Impressions right away...
...and make sure he has my contact numbers.
Thanks.
Ella, if the FBI confirms that these prints are a match...
...it means the bank's used the same assassin twice.
Which means if we can get him, we can get the bank.
What was that?
That was Capitano Barillo, the man in charge of the Calvini investigation.
-What did he want? -My ass on a platter...
...and both of you on the next flight out of Milan.
Didn't you tell him what we just found?
I tried.
Fuck him. He can't force us to leave.
He has already spoken to your superiors.
You have both been ordered home.
Arnie, you can't just sit there...
...and lecture me about protocol and procedure.
You know what's happening here.
Well, who gives a shit about jurisdictional provenance?
We just had a major breakthrough.
That's great, Arnie. You're a real stand-up guy.
This is total bullshit.
I wish I could have been more helpful.
Oh, no, you've been great, Alberto.
I'm gonna do everything I can to take the heat off you.
Thanks.
Thanks for everything. Sorry for all the trouble we caused.
What?
His leg brace would be made of metal, right?
-So? -So if he left through an airport...
...security would have made him show it to them.
That's definitely him.
-He doesn't look like much. -I think that's the idea.
Seems to know where the cameras are.
Look how he always angles his face just out of our line of sight.
Even if you do find him...
...that's not enough evidence to convict the man without a confession.
If we find him, prosecution will be irrelevant. He'll be a marked man.
He can either die for the bank or flip for us.
I got him. He is traveling under the name Sherwood, Timothy M.
He boarded Flight Alitalia 422, departing Milan at 6 p.m. yesterday...
...and arriving in New York at JFK at 10 p.m.
What time's the next flight to New York?
Detectives Hubbard, Ward, Ornelas, this is Agent Lou Salinger.
-Finality. -How you doing?
-Let me take that. -Thanks. So, what do we have?
Well, we got lucky.
Some clip shots of him moving through customs.
That's a good one.
The Sherwood ID he used? It's clean. AII of it attached to a dead address.
Where'd he go after he cleared customs?
Don't know. CCTV footage lost him at the curb.
We canvassed all the limousine and taxicab companies in the city.
Airport parking, rental agencies. Didn't come up with shit.
There's a chance he might live in the city.
Why is that?
Kovacs from FBI Impressions called.
''The footprint was left by a shoe used for knee-ankle-foot orthosis.
The tread pattern is exclusive to shoes produced...
...at the Isaacson Orthopedic Institute here in the city.''
The shoe could have only come from there.
Do you have a contact person to run down?
We got Dr. Isaacson.
AII right. You guys go check it out. I'm expected at the office.
Hubb?
Get ready for the smackdown. He's gonna come at you hard.
-Who is it? -N.Y.P.D.
-Dr. Isaacson? -Yeah.
Detective Ornelas, N.Y.P.D. This is my partner, Detective Ward.
-We'd like to ask a couple questions. -Why?
What do you want? Why are you here?
Calm down. We just wanna ask you a few questions about a patient.
Patient? What patient? Come on, you know what time it is?
Listen, I'm sorry. I must go. I really didn't do anything.
-I'm sorry. Good night. -Doctor, if we could--
Douche bag's pinned out of his mind. He thinks we're here to bust him.
Dr. Isaacson, please.
We have reason to believe your life is in danger, grave danger.
We think one of your patients is trying to kill you.
Kill me?
I'm Agent Salinger with Interpol. We're assisting in this manhunt.
Why would a patient wanna kill me? I'm an orthopedist.
This man's a psychotic. He's already butchered seven doctors in Europe.
We got some serious evidence to suggest you may be next.
Have you ever seen this man?
No, no. I don't think so.
Does the name Timothy Sherwood mean anything to you, doctor?
No. How do you know he's a patient of mine?
We have his footprint.
Yeah, the shoe was manufactured by AGM Biomechanics...
...exclusively for the Isaacson Institute, model K-A-F-O1-2-1 .
K-A-F-O1-2-1 ?
We started prescribing that three years ago.
We've used it on hundreds of our patients.
Well, then we're gonna need to review all of your files.
Right now?
Doctor, we need to find this man before he finds you.
-What are you trying to do here, Ella? -I'm doing my job.
You have any idea of the shitstorm you've gotten me into?
-We're just trying to get to the truth. -I get it.
You need to remember there's what people wanna hear, wanna believe...
...there's everything else, then there's the truth.
And since when is that okay? I can't believe you're saying this to me.
The truth means responsibility, Arnie.
Exactly, which is why everyone dreads it.
Look....
The IBBC is using one assassin for all their hits...
...and we've tracked him here to New York.
This guy can bury them.
They want me to put a gun to your head.
You don't find this guy, and I mean quick...
...they're gonna make me pull the trigger.
-Do you want dessert? -No, thank you.
I'd like one.
This is a game that rewards patience and balance.
You must think like a man of action and act like a man of thought.
Gentlemen.
Sorry to disturb you at home. I'm afraid this couldn't wait.
Yes?
Salinger was in Milan.
Whitman too.
They have the scent.
It's only a matter of time before they find our consultant.
Any recommendations?
I strongly advise against doing anything...
...that would heighten your exposure right now.
Wilhelm, we've leveraged ourselves over the edge.
If we don't meet the delivery date, buyers will cancel orders...
...our plans will implode...
...and this bank will be left a bill it cannot pay.
Heightening exposure is the least of our problems.
I agree. We're about to engage Calvini's sons.
We can't allow anyone to put our agenda at risk.
We must sever all ties with the consultant.
Consider the mark, gentlemen.
Doing this could be a very messy affair.
Well, then make it one.
I don't know why you pay me to advise on these matters.
It is clear that you don't want my counsel, only my corroboration.
Really, Wilhelm. We've had just about all we can take of you.
Yes. I've had about all I can take of myself.
How would you like us to proceed?
Cassian, what does one do when there's no way out of a situation?
If there's no way out...
...the best thing is to find a way further in.
-Fucking disgusting, you know that? -What are you, my mother?
No, but I could be your old man for all you know, asshole.
Hey, doc.
Gabriel Hansen?
I don't know. My associate handled this.
Well, the address is a post-office box...
...and he paid cash for all of his medical bills.
There are no diagnostic photos. Why?
-I don't know. -Is there a number?
Yeah, 212-157-6421 .
It's a dead line.
I'II put a call in to Hubby, have her run it down.
See if we can't get a crack warrant for the P.O. Box in Jersey.
What do all these GT's next to the appointment entries mean?
We have a kickback account with Go Taxi...
...and they indicate when we use their service for a patient.
Hey. Hubb says you caught a lead.
Yeah, we've got an address. We're en route.
-What is it? -Well, it could be him.
-Really? -Yeah.
Well, they gotta bring him in now. This is our last shot.
What do you mean, ''our last shot''?
Arnie and I had it out last night, and our clock's run out.
If we don't get this guy right now, it's over.
Well, it better be him, then.
I'm here. Yeah.
I know that.
This is definitely the right address?
Checked the log myself. This is where they dropped him off every time.
Well, he could be anywhere.
-What do you think he was doing? -Beats the shit out of me.
It's a big, empty lot.
Well, I'm starving. I'm gonna get something. You want anything?
Yeah, a coffee, black.
I'm going back down to headquarters after this.
Okay, all right.
Right, bye.
How long do you think this has been like this?
I don't know, but we need to find out.
The doctor's records say the last time...
...somebody got dropped off here was five weeks ago.
I mean, there's not even a temporary office or anything.
-How you doing? -How you doing?
Son of a bitch.
What's the matter?
I just made our perp. Eleven o’clock, blue overcoat.
-You sure that's him? -A hundred percent.
-Where did he come from? -Shit if I know.
I'm at the counter and I see him rolling past the window.
-Wanna go for the collar? -No.
We tail him, find out where he sleeps, then take him down.
A, B, C. Keep the box tight.
-Five-oh-two-six. Designator? -Samuel Koppler.
Message:
Your uncle wishes to see you immediately.
Response?
The Guggenheim, fifth floor of the rotunda, 40 minutes.
-Hi, how you doing? -Hello.
N.Y.P.D. I need to speak to your security chief.
Okay, one moment.
Rick?
How you doing? Detective Ornelas. I need to be able to clear security.
-Okay. -Thanks.
We're clear.
Directly behind me.
There you go. Thank you.
Who's the old scag sitting next to him?
I don't know, but I saw him at the bank's headquarters in Luxembourg.
You don't look well today.
We all begin better than we end.
What would you prefer your ending to be like?
Oh, more purposeful, and certainly more climactic.
A finale.
Circumstances can always be arranged.
As much as the thought appeals to me...
...I'm afraid your consideration is needed elsewhere.
-What is this? -Salinger.
The method and manner is entirely up to you.
Your principle would simply like him to vanish without a trace.
-Any other provisions? -Yes.
No mistakes.
I'II follow.
-Where's Iggy going? -Folioing a new lead.
Shit.
We gotta go.
N.Y.P.D. Lock your hands behind your head.
Do it now.
They'll never let you bring me in.
Do it, or I'II take you down.
-Cuffs. -On the belt.
There's a guy right up there.
-Where'd he--? -Up there! Up there!
Get down!
-God! Oh, my God! -It's okay.
Down there.
Shit.
Drop the gun.
-If I drop the gun, we'll both die. -I said, drop the gun!
They're here for me but they'll kill you too. Now help me get this off.
I can't breathe.
Stairs.
-Fuck. -You okay?
The ramp is the only way out.
Hey.
Don't you fucking dare.
I'm calling from the dark side.
-Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. -I'm calling from the--
Get back.
I told you.
What? You told me what?
They'd never let you bring me in.
Fuck, fuck.
Move away from the building.
Can everybody please move away from the building?
They know you're coming. We gotta hurry.
-Where'd they find him? -Sitting on a bench near the reservoir.
-Has he said anything yet? -Nothing. He's pretty shaken up.
-Who else knows he's here? -Everyone. Nothing I could do.
Heavies from the Bureau and Justice are on their way.
--with an unidentified third man.
-How long do I have? -Five, 10 minutes, max.
--wanted for questioning in an ongoing investigation.
Now, a Guggenheim employee tells me that while they were in the museum--
This isn't over.
Are you sure about this?
Just read it.
-They recognize you? -Don't think so.
Back it up!
-...screens came crashing down. -How you doing?
-There was glass everywhere. -As compared to what?
And just on the ground.
When you heard all of this commotion, did you think--?
Anything you need, Ellie, just let me know.
-Thanks. -I just heard gunshots.
And people were hit and screaming...
...and people just started running out the door...
...and I didn't know what was going on.
You okay?
Yeah.
You flip this guy.
You make sure my partner wasn't killed for nothing.
I know that-- I think random people were going down and--
I mean, there was police running up as other people were going down.
You ready for this?
Good evening, Colonel Wexler.
I'm Agent Louis Salinger.
I know who you are.
Of course you do.
I was at the Guggenheim this afternoon.
The assassin you met with...
...I know you were his handler.
I know you arranged for him to be killed at the behest of the bank...
...because I was obviously getting too close.
But if a hit team at the Guggenheim is what happens...
...because I was getting too close to him...
...what do you think the bank'll do when it realizes how close I am to you?
Death comes for us all, Agent Salinger.
But based on everything I've read about you...
...you seem like the kind of man...
...who aspired to die for something more than this.
Well, this is the difference between truth and fiction.
Fiction has to make sense.
I'm confused, colonel.
Why would a tried and true communist...
...a hardliner that spent 30 years in the Stasi...
...fighting against the evils of capitalism....
Why would this man waste his final days working for an institution...
...that was the very embodiment of everything he once despised?
You dedicated your life to the communist ideal.
You sacrificed everything for the good of the party.
For what?
You lost your wife to betrayal...
...your daughter to suicide...
...and when the Wall fell, your whole life fell apart with it.
You know nothing about me.
I was lost long before the Wall fell.
I was once destined to become a man much like yourself.
True-hearted...
...determined...
...full of purpose.
But...
...character is easier kept than recovered.
We cannot control the things life does to us.
They are done before you know it, and once they are done...
...they make you do other things...
...until at last, everything comes between you...
...and the man you wanted to be.
No.
We all have choices in life. You made yours.
Sometimes a man can meet his destiny...
...on the road he took to avoid it.
Skarssen and that bank need to answer for what they've done.
They have to be brought to justice.
You can help me do that.
Justice...
...is not possible.
Why not?
Because, Agent Salinger...
...your idea of justice is an illusion.
Understand the very system that you serve and protect...
...will never allow anything to happen to Skarssen or the bank.
On the contrary.
The system guarantees the IBBC's safety...
...because everyone is involved.
What do you mean, ''everyone''?
Hezbollah.
CIA.
The Columbian drug cartels.
Russian organized crime.
Governments of Iran, Germany, China, your government.
Every multinational corporation, every one.
They all need banks like the IBBC...
...so that they can operate within the black and gray latitudes.
And this is why your investigative efforts...
...have either been ignored or undermined...
...and why you and I will be quietly disposed of...
...before any case against the bank ever reaches a court of law.
So, what are we all supposed to do?
We just supposed to give up...
...and accept that this is the way of the world?
I'm not gonna do that.
I still believe-- I know...
...that there has to be a way to bring down this bank...
...and you are gonna help me.
You understand...
...if you really want to stop the IBBC...
...you won't be able to do it within the boundaries of your system of justice.
You will have to go outside.
Once you do...
...there will always be collateral damage.
Yes.
Should you sacrifice your own ideals for the greater good?
That's a difficult choice, one I understand all too well...
...but as you so eloquently put it...
...sometimes a man can meet his destiny...
...on the road he took to avoid it.
What?
What are you doing?
I think it's time for you to leave.
-Leave? What are you talking about? -You know what I'm talking about.
No way, Lou.
No fucking way. You've already got him turned.
Now go back in there and get him to come in on his own.
We can use everything. We'll blow this whole thing wide open.
-I don't think so. -Why not?
I'm not gonna make the same mistake twice.
-I can protect him, Lou. -No, you can't. They’ll get to him.
If they can't, they’ll get to you.
If they can't get to you, they’ll get to your family.
I can't just walk away from this.
You're walking away so I don't have to.
How can you trust him?
That relic in there is looking for redemption.
I'm the only one who can give it to him.
Then who gives it to you when this is all over?
You need to cut me loose.
Tell them I escaped from custody, whatever you have to.
Just use my history. They’ll believe you.
-I don't know. -Ella, listen to me.
Sometimes the hardest thing...
...is to know which bridge to cross and which to burn.
I'm the one you burn.
We've been waiting here for an hour.
I'm sorry, Martin, but none of us have been able to reach them.
Unfortunately, Mario and Enzo Calvini are not known for their punctuality.
They do realize this is the closing?
Mr. White...
...I've been instructed to escort you and your associates from the building.
Please gather your materials and come with me.
-Instructed by whom? -Please, if you could just comply.
Our father never trusted these people.
Thank you for telling us the truth.
Had you not come forward...
...we would have made a terrible mistake today.
I'm just glad I could be of service.
I don't know, Jonas. I was told nothing. I was simply thrown out.
They know.
Look, I can't discuss this right now. I'II call you when I'm in the air.
Welcome to World News. I'm Tristana Moore.
We're live today in the Democratic Republic of Niberia.
As we go on air, we're getting reports that thousands of troops...
...loyal to General Charles Motomba's Revolutionary Freedom Front...
...are moving towards the capital of Dénué.
According to eyewitnesses, several explosions have been heard...
...and there've been heavy outbreaks of gunfire in many parts of the city.
The people of Niberia have suffered greatly.
It is time to begin a new chapter in our country's history.
We will not stop until national liberation...
...and the restoration of nationhood--
News about Martin?
He didn't show up at his hotel or at the airport.
The Italian police have been unable to locate his car or driver.
I think Enzo and Mario Calvini are sending us a message.
How could they possibly have found out?
This is precisely what we pay you to know.
We're out of time and options.
-We must make the deal with Sunay. -How can we trust this man?
The Israeli government is his biggest customer.
Why would he agree...
...to help us provide missiles to the Iranians and the Syrians...
...that have a first-strike capability against the Israelis?
I know Sunay. I believe he has every intention...
...of selling you the guidance systems...
...because he's already provided the Israelis...
...with the countermeasures to defeat them.
Would the Turk really play such a dangerous game?
We are.
The only way we can make this work...
...is to guarantee...
...that Sunay keeps this information in complete confidence.
If our buyers find out the missiles are worthies, they’ll pull all their orders...
...and this bank will be left insolvent.
Have him here by tomorrow afternoon.
Tomorrow he's going to a funeral service for his cousin.
He’ll be unavailable till Monday.
Unless of course, you'd be willing to attend.
Make the call.
Get me Ahmet Sunay.
It's tomorrow.
It's right there. Do you want to be escorted?
We'll be fine, thank you.
The Sunay funeral, please.
It will be over soon. You may wait here.
-Is there a bathroom I could use? -Just over there.
-I won't be a moment. -Right.
-The signal? -Good.
The Sunay funeral, please.
-Where'd you put the spike? -Inside the lapel of his jacket.
The lawyer?
White?
He's gone.
I told you, there will always be collateral damage...
...when you take matters into your own hands.
Your plan is working.
It has left Skarssen with only one option.
Record the conversation and you'll gain your end.
Sure they’ll talk about Sunay's deal with Israel and the countermeasures?
It is the key issue.
Once you let the Iranians and Syrians...
...hear that the missiles are completely useless against the Israelis...
...they will cancel their orders and the IBBC will collapse.
-Wilhelm. -Ahmet.
It's been a long time.
Yes.
My sympathies for the loss of your cousin.
Thank you.
Jonas Skarssen, Ahmet Sunay.
If you'd simply come to me in the beginning, it would have been better.
Midday prayers will begin soon.
Should take a short time to settle on the broad strokes.
The rest can be sorted out at your leisure.
We have 10 minutes.
Wilhelm, would you mind if I spoke to Mr. Sunay alone?
I believe I understand the particulars of your situation.
Perhaps we should discuss this in a more private place.
Yes, of course.
Allow me to show you something very special.
Something that very few outsiders know exists.
It's my understanding that the product you purchased are the XW-41s.
After you.
Yes. Forty-two hundred units.
What kind of guidance are they currently equipped--?
They all need to be upgraded with VOLCON systems.
Launch platforms?
Ground-based vehicles and fixed-wing aircraft.
So you understand I have a terminal deadline.
First of February, yes.
-Can you meet it? -To be sure.
But you must arrange for the end-user certificates, transport....
We'll arrange for it all.
Where would the work be done?
Cyprus. I've a facility there.
We would start retrofitting the worms within a day of their arrival.
So if you deliver them to me within the next two weeks...
...we'll meet your deadline.
I'm concerned that we limit any and all knowledge of your involvement.
If we structure my involvement through a thick veil of shells...
...I don't foresee any complications.
-Sorry? -You. Come here now.
Usually we would involve our import partners from Russia.
What? I'm just a tourist.
-Now, you must leave. -Could you get that light out of--?
Get your fucking--
So, shall we discuss numbers?
There is a more salient deal point...
...that needs to be resolved before we can do that.
And what point is that?
The point of fidelity.
I know you provided the Israeli government...
...with the countermeasures to this guidance system.
Last year alone...
...I did more than 300 million in business with the Israelis.
I would never put that at risk.
How can I trust you not to divulge this information to anyone else?
It's mutual interest, not trust...
...that will be the bond of our relationship.
Your compensation will be held in an escrow account.
--released until our clients pay in full.
And those are the terms.
The payout structure--
The transfers will be begun by tomorrow morning.
Ehames will contact you with the number for the escrow account.
So ends the bloody business of the day.
We're closed. I need you and Ehames here tomorrow...
...to work out all the details with Sunay's people.
Yes. We're on our way home.
Wilhelm?
Wake up.
Who are you?
I'm Louis Salinger.
You don't have the authority to arrest me.
Who said anything about arresting you?
-What do you want? -I want some fucking justice.
Wait, wait. Wait. Executing me won't change anything.
There will be 100 other bankers to take my place.
Everything will continue.
The only thing you'll succeed in doing is to satisfy your own blood lust.
And you know it.
With compliments of Enzo and Mario Calvini.
Thank you.
