Your consortium was so close
to securing that bid.

Niskus Group,
or at least Trestford,

has plenty of friends
in high places.

Liar! Tell them the truth!

She's lying!
Tell them the truth!

Murderer!

The Mayor left.

He's requesting a formal review
of Trestford's finances.

It was Richard who helped
launder my father's assets.

How?

He introduced me
to a man, Gordon Hearst.

Thank you, Stefanie.

Once we have Hearst on the
record, we can question him

on Richard Melnick's
past involvement.

Pleasure doing business with you.

Money's been transferred.

Police! Drop down
on your knees!

The police came, Europol.

They arrested Mr Hearst.

Stefanie, I want you to do
exactly what I tell you.

I think you're
a good man, James,

and I need your help
to find and stop these men.

When they released his body
to the funeral home,

I was able to get
his personal effects.

James Melnick brought in
his father's phone.

I'm sending someone to you.

We have a problem.

Hello, Henry.

The deal is slipping away.

I can assure you
everything is under control.

With our financial records
under this kind of scrutiny

and our stability
in question?

You know who our investors are.

Let me be clear.

They cannot be exposed.

Are you questioning
my management?

You promised
a smooth transition.

So far, it's been anything but.

With respect, I'm cleaning up
someone else's mess.

What are you
talking about?

You kept me
out of the loop.

Rojas' death was necessary,
but Richard's?

And that attempt on Bibi -
a bomb, for Christ's sake!

There's another player
in the game.

We didn't sanction
Richard's killing.

Or a car bomb.

I'll deal with it.

You better.

CAR DOOR CLOSES

BEEP

HE CLEARS THROAT

I don't appreciate
being kept waiting.

Hold all calls for the next
ten minutes, please.

Victor, you need
to convince the Mayor

to forego this review
of Trestford.

It's a simple process.

I will guide you through it.

We need to be wary

of the appearance of political
impropriety and favouritism.

Trestford is
financially stable.

You should have nothing
to worry about.

This belongs to you.

Are you going to tell me
what's on it?

Details of an offshore
bank account in your name.

Richard made several
transfers of monies to it

in the run-up to your
election campaign.

How...? Uncovered during
an internal audit

in preparation for
the Mayor's review.

For the sake of our
investors, we dug deeper

and we were shocked to uncover
evidence connecting Richard

to the Belgian
bombing campaign.

What are you talking about?

Did you and Richard
orchestrate

the bombing campaign to ensure
your election victory?

This has nothing
to do with me.

I had no idea what
Richard was up to.

That's not what these files
appear to indicate.

I intend on going to the authorities
with this information,

get out ahead of it.

That way Trestford and
our investors are protected

from scandal and liability,

and I can walk away
from the deal

with a clear conscience.
You can't just...

If, however,

you convince the Mayor

to halt this review
and sign the contracts,

as per the agreed schedule,

I won't feel the need
to go public,

and your dirty little secret
can remain buried.

This is not personal,
it's business.

You have until
the end of the day...

..Deputy Prime Minister.

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

We had a good day yesterday,
and a great result,

but the clock is against us.

Sean's landed in Dublin.

In a couple of hours,

he'll be in Shannon on standby
to question Bibi,

should Hearst's interview
contradict hers.

Josh, what have you got?

We're running diagnostics
on the machines we seized.

And Hearst's files? Still working
on getting access to them.

I tried using brute force,
but no joy.

Now I'm running
a dictionary attack programme.

When I get a result,
I'll let you know.

OK. Norah?

No red flags so far.

Everything seems legit.

I know that's not
what you want to hear.

The search of Hearst's house
didn't turn up anything.

We need physical evidence
tying Richard Melnick to Hearst.

Incontestable proof
that they're linked.

Let's dig deep,

give this everything we have.

We can't stall Hearst's
interview much longer.

OK.

I'll read the rest
of this later. Thank you.

Christian.

I need to sit in on
the interview with Hearst.

That's not going to happen.

Seriously?
It's not a good idea.

This is my jurisdiction.

With respect,
this is a CAB case.

Come on, Claire, there's
more to it than that.

Our warrant is limited
to Hearst's involvement

in Bibi and Fionn Brannigan's
money laundering.

But if we can convince
him to play ball,

he could connect us to
Richard Melnick. Melnick is dead.

I need to know who's
running the show now.

If Hearst admits
to Melnick's involvement,

I can expand the scope of the CAB
investigation into his finances.

We can follow that lead
to his co-conspirators.

You just need to give me time.

Yeah, well,
we don't have time.

Come on, we both know
this all ties back to the port,

a multibillion-euro deal.

If this goes through, my
investigation will be

stopped immediately. These are
powerful people, Claire,

with deep pockets.
Don't cut me out.

If I go in there with CTU,
Hearst is going to shut down

and we're going to be back
where we started.

You need to leave this to me.

I'll go after Trestford, then.
You don't have any evidence.

Yeah, I'll get it.

BEEP

Detective Blanchet from the
European Criminal Assets Bureau,

and DS Claire Wallace from the
Irish Criminal Assets Bureau.

Gordon Hearst and his attorney,
Wilfried Lippens, present.

You've been arrested

on suspected facilitation
of money laundering,

that through various
schemes you assisted

Ms Bronagh Brannigan, formerly
Melnick, in tax evasion

and the transfer
of illegally obtained funds.

Is there anything you wish
to say in relation to that?

No comment.

Let's not waste
each other's time.

We know that Brannigan
is your client.

I suggest the strategy
in tax avoidance.

It's what smart people do.

40 cents on the euro
doesn't sound very smart.

If the arrangement is above board,
then why return

the investment in diamonds
instead of a bank transfer?

Ms Brannigan insisted
her funds would be released

with immediate effect,

and diamonds were
what I had at hand.

So it's not because
they're easy to transport

and difficult to trace?

What Ms Brannigan does
with her funds is

of no concern to me.

How were you introduced
to Ms Brannigan?

I don't recall.

Isn't it a fact that you were
introduced by Richard Melnick?

As I said, I don't recall.

But you know him?

I know of him, yes.

Have you ever
conducted business

with Richard Melnick?

I advise my client
to answer no comment.

Did you ever transfer funds
on behalf of Richard Melnick

to, say, Fionn Brannigan for
the purchase of an apartment?

Ms Brannigan has stated
that she was introduced to you

by Richard Melnick.
No, no, no, no.

Ms Brannigan approached
me directly.

I thought you said
you don't recall.

Look, you have
all her assets now.

There's nothing more
I'm holding for her.

Then you won't mind granting us
access to your files

to confirm that.

This is not a fishing
expedition, Detective.

Limit the scope of your warrant
to files relating

to Ms Brannigan alone
and we'll consider your request.

You could be looking
at ten years.

My client is looking at a suspended
sentence at worst.

Mr Hearst has been
very patient.

Enough is enough.

TV: ..was rescued just
after 10:30 this morning

from a popular hiking
and cycling trail

at the Wicklow Mountains.

The male native, who sustained
a fractured arm...

You can go in.

Any word from Antwerp?

Not yet, but I expect
we'll hear soon enough.

On a positive note,
your new Regret Settlement

has been approved.

That's a relief.

Is this really necessary?

We've already talked
about this.

I can't put my life
on hold any longer.

You understand the only
people you are to contact are

DS Wallace and myself.

That's for your
own safety, Bibi.

Phone.

I want you to put my mother's
house on the market.

Are you sure?

You were always quite firm
about holding on to Whitethorn.

Well, it's hardly my safe
refuge any more, is it?

Any word on Siobhan?

CAB still haven't located
her or the children.

Let me know when
there's any news.

Of course.

I'll be in touch.

Yas! I'm in! I'm in!

HE SIGHS

About time. I was beginning to think
you'd lost your touch.

As if!

Let's have a look, then.
What have you got?

It looks like a register
of client companies

Hearst managed funds for.

Great work, Josh.

Sorry, I couldn't
give you more notice.

No worries.

Not a care in the world.

No, no, no, no, no.

This needs to be
off the record.

Ms Delvey,
what's this about?

Level playing field,

or lack thereof.

I'm hearing rumours

that Maes has used
his influence on the Mayor

to hold the financial
review of Trestford.

Why would he do that?

What you have
to ask yourself is,

who does it benefit
if the review doesn't happen?

Niskus Group Limited?

So, that should
tell you something

about the power
Trestford wields over Maes.

Do you remember
when it looked like

Maes wasn't going
to win the election?

Yeah. But he did.

Exactly. By a landslide.

So...

..what was it that ensured
his victory, hmm?

I got you a coffee.

I didn't know
how you took it.

Why am I here?

Aren't you going to
sit down?

We hit a wall
with Hearst.

He didn't give you anything
on Richard Melnick?

He denies ever
meeting him.

The reaction on his face
when I mentioned the name...

He was scared.

You could have just
phoned me about that.

So, why am I really here?

There was an allegation
that Richard Melnick had

a mole in CTU.

That's bullshit.

Who told you that?

Bibi Brannigan.
She's a liar.

She's had two attempts
on her life.

At this point, I have to trust
that she's telling the truth.

Wait a minute.

You thought it was me?

That's why you locked me out
of your investigation.

I couldn't take any chances.

I haven't even
told my team.

Bibi was our only witness.

She gave us Richard Melnick,
led us to Hearst.

Without her, we have no case.

You would have done the same
thing in my position.

All the evidence pointed

to someone leaking
information from CTU.

Every time you got a lead,
it was snuffed out.

Rojas, Ortiz...

Information was leaked
during the IT security breach.

And after that?

What about Daniel Katz?

How do you explain that?

I needed Hearst alive.

I know my team.

Are you sure about that?

This is a
multibillion-euro deal.

Who do you trust
that can't be bought?

If there is a mole...

..it would have to be
someone under Maes' influence,

someone who could manipulate
the investigation from above.

And if it's not?

If it's someone
on the floor?

If you want to work
with me on this,

I need you to limit
the information

you share with your team.

OK.

Chief Inspector. Hi.
Anything, Josh?

Still cross-referencing
the computer files

we've managed to access
against the paperwork.

I managed to uncover
27 companies

all with the same address.
Shell companies? Exactly.

A bit of an anti-climax,
if I'm honest.

What do you mean?

I expect a lot more
data than this.

I mean, if Hearst has the kind
of operation Bibi claims...

Those files must be
somewhere else.

I reckon he has
a remote server.

So, you have nothing?

Not quite.

I'm heading to check
company registries

in the Chamber of Commerce
to see if Richard Melnick

is mentioned
in any of the paperwork.

And we're
going to check out

the address of those companies.

This is what we do, Christian.

Blanchet, I'm going to
text you a home address.

We need to get ECAB
over there ASAP.

We provide clients
with a mailing address

without the cost
of a physical office.

There's nothing illegal

going on here.

PHONE VIBRATES

Then you have
nothing to worry about.

Um, the same account pays
for all of these.

Norah? Open them, please.

No links to Melnick.

But 23 of the companies have

Stefanie Courtois listed
as company secretary.

Hearst's assistant?

Either she got paid
for her signature

or she knows more
than we thought.

Ask Matis to bring her back in.

Already on it.

ECAB are en route as we speak.

Good job, Norah.

Can I disturb?

Mila!

Ah!

Welcome to Belgium.

Good to finally
meet you in person.

Yeah, we can finally

compare notes on the hack.

Oh, I have nothing
new to report.

This takes priority.

Sorry if that's why you're...
Oh, no.

Richard Melnick's phone.

Ah, of course.

Yeah, I examined it,

but I couldn't find
anything of interest.

Christian wants you to check it

against your records.
OK.

Have you made
any progress on Hearst?

One step forward,
two steps back.

I'm still going
through local files,

but so far, everything
seems legitimate.

My thinking is that
Hearst has a remote server.

Locating that won't be easy.

Tell me about it.

Thankfully, we've got
other avenues of investigation.

The lead that DS Wallace and
Christian are following up on?

Oh, sorry, I better
get back to this. Absolutely.

There you go, sir.
Thank you.

Josh.

The phone is a dead end.

Don't waste your time on it.

OK.

Explain why the first I heard

that CTU's search warrant has
been extended to include me

was from our legal team
and not you.

Something's wrong.

I think the Chief suspects.

If that was the case,
you'd be in handcuffs.

He's keeping
information from me.

It is too dangerous.

Mila, you're jumping
to conclusions.

Is this your way of asking
for more money?

No.

I can't do this any more.

You don't make decisions.

You do as you're told.

You're going to stay put

and keep me informed.

You wouldn't want anything
to happen to your mother.

SHE BREATHES DEEPLY

RADIO CHATTER

PHONE VIBRATES

I need you to take care
of something.

It's under control.
Not Hearst.

Something else.

And this takes priority.

So, how was it?

I messed up a few bits.

He said I have
to practise more.

Well, yeah, practice makes...

Perfect.
Correct.

You know, it's not all
about being perfect.

TYRES SCREECH

CAR HORN BLARES, TYRES SCREECH

Take a look at this.

So we have a Thomas Fellaini

who wanted to purchase
a warehouse

from a company called
Branx Industries.

Either on your radar?
No.

This is exactly the same,

only a different date.

27 mailboxes

and this is all we get.

These may all be
shell companies.

So it's a waste of time.

Branx Industries
own properties.

This is bricks and mortar.

It's a lead we can follow.

OK. Let's see how far
Fellaini got with his enquiry.

PHONE RINGS

It's done.

Boss.
What are you doing here?

The officers called me.

They said a SUV
came out of nowhere.

There was nothing they could do,
it happened too fast.

They should have been
following a security protocol.

What the fuck were they

doing on a walkabout?

PHONE RINGS

They were under protection,
not arrest.

And the vehicle?

Um, a dark red SUV.

We ran a check
on the license plates.

It matches with a car
that was stolen three weeks ago.

Hi. How's the boy?
We're keeping him overnight...

OK. I want someone posted
outside Melnick's room.

You follow up on the SUV.
OK, boss.

MONITOR BEEPS STEADILY

It doesn't look good.

And what about the boy?

They're keeping him
overnight for observation.

He's lucky.

James took the brunt
of the impact.

But this wasn't an accident.

I convinced James against
his better judgment

to get involved
in the investigation. Now this.

You don't know for sure
it's connected.

We can't rule it out.

What if he knew something?

What if they were trying to take
him out before he told me?

PHONE VIBRATES

Sean?

I'm at the hospital now.

Put her on to me.

How could you let
this happen?

Bibi...

I told you to bring
Arthur to Ireland!

I told you these people
were dangerous

and you didn't believe me!

If you had done as I asked,

none of this would
have happened!

I will never forgive
you for this!

I understand you're upset...

Don't tell me how I'm feeling!

You have no idea
what I'm going through!

They nearly killed my son!

I'm coming to Antwerp.

That's not a good idea.

I need to be with my son!

I can't guarantee
your safety.

Did Hearst give up Richard?

Answer me.

No.

So you got nothing,

and now they know I've talked.

You put my family
at risk for nothing!

You are responsible
for this!

It's me.

She is not coming to Antwerp.

She's determined.

And you need to make
her see sense.

It's too dangerous.

I'll do my best.

No sign of Stefanie Courtois
at her home.

We searched the premises.
It's clear she left in a hurry.

Was there any sign
of a struggle? No.

Any indication of where
she might be going?

Your guess is
as good as mine.

I've issued a red notice.

If she attempts to flee
the country, we'll get her.

I'm going to Antwerp,

And there's nothing
you can do to stop me.

Mr Fellaini,
a little over a year ago,

you sent this letter
to Branx Industries.

Correct?

Yes, I sent this.

In fact, I sent two letters.

There was this derelict warehouse
in the outskirts of Liege, and

I wanted to develop the land.

When I heard nothing back,
I decided to drive out there,

make him an offer face-to-face.

And what happened?

Well, they made it quite clear
they weren't interested.

My colleague, DS Wallace.

Hi.
Hi.

And who made it clear?

The guy managing the place.

He wasn't even interested in
how much money I was offering.

He lost patience with me
when a van turned up,

so I cleared off.

Do you see that man

in this photo?

Take a close look.
He would be older now.

Yeah, that's him.

And I'm pretty sure
this guy was there as well.

He was driving the van.

PHONE RINGS

Can you give us the address
of the warehouse?

Yeah, absolutely.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

You can't let that happen.

There's no way of stopping
Bibi, short of arresting her.

Then call Gately.

We need the journey to be
as secure as possible.

All right. Thanks, Sean.

PHONE CHIMES, BUZZES

Norah just texted to confirm

that Stefanie Courtois is
listed as company secretary

for Branx Industries as well.

So, if we find evidence
linking this warehouse

to the bombings...

That means we have a confirmed
connection to Hearst.

Enough to push him to give up
Richard Melnick.

All right.

We'll let you know
when the building's clear.

You're good to go?
Yeah. All right, let's go.

It's a bomb-making factory.
We have them.

All we have is evidence

connecting Hearst, Bibi
and Fionn to the bombings.

There's nothing directly
linking this building

to Richard Melnick
or Trestford.

Then we need to find another
way of breaking Hearst.

If we threaten him with terror
offences, that could push him,

but that means handing him
over to CTU.

Absolutely not.
It's the only way.

You want me to hand over
my witness to CTU?

Hearst will never
fold for CAB.

The threat of 20 years
behind bars,

that will scare the shit
out of him.

And if it doesn't?
Trust me, he'll break.

I can always get a warrant,
but the clock is ticking.

You'll just have to trust me.

DOOR LOCK BUZZES

Sir, please, follow us.

About time.

Get my belongings
immediately, please.

Gordon Hearst?

You're being transferred
to the Counterterrorist Unit

pending charges
under article 135

of the Criminal Code
covering terrorist offences.

Whoa! What are you talking about?
This is bullshit.

I'm not going anywhere
until I speak to my lawyer.

You can talk
to your lawyer at CTU.

No, please. Take your hands
off me. Please.

I said take your hands off me!
Hey, get off me!

Get off!
You're hurting me!

I'm not a fucking terrorist!

NORAH: You'd better
hope this works.

It's the only move
we have left.

We're on our way to CTU
to question him.

Any update, your end?

Josh found a link
to the remote server.

That's great.

Yeah, not exactly.

It's protected by
a 24-character password.

Plus, we have no idea
where it's hosted,

so we can't get
physical access.

Anything else?

Sean called.
They're on their way.

Already?

Dorgan organised
a private plane for Bibi.

Of course he did.

As soon as we get
something from Hearst,

I'll be in touch.

BOTH SIGH

What are we supposed
to do in the meantime?

Wait.

Pfff! OK.
Yeah.

DOOR CLOSES

Well?

They're not giving me
a time for questioning.

They'll take you
to a high-security prison.

That's ridiculous.

How long can they just
keep me locked up?

For suspicion of involvement
in terrorism,

you can be held 20 days.
What?!

That can't be right!

How can they lock me up
without a charge?!

Because it's terrorism.

Gordon...

..I'll be honest with you,

terrorism is not
my area of expertise.

You need somebody experienced
in this kind of law.

So, when everyone has arrived,

Mayor Peeters will say
some introductory words

about how momentous and
historic this agreement is,

and then talk about how much
Antwerp is looking forward to

a long and fruitful
partnership with Niskus Group.

That's your cue
to get ready.

Then the Mayor will invite you
out to say a few words.

Did you get the draft
speech I sent?

Yes. I've highlighted
some edits.

I'll send them to you.

That's not an option.

I need to get to

I have to find out
who's responsible.

I get it.
No, you don't.

You haven't seen what

Every time I close my eyes,

And now even James.

All collateral damage.

I can't be linked to terrorism.

You will keep your mouth shut.

I can't do it!
I can't do time!

CHRISTIAN: For what?

Greed,

control of a port.

They can get to anyone.

Do not force their hand.

As long as you don't talk,

our families will be safe.

You're right.

James was collateral damage.

The hit-and-run was a ploy

to show Bibi that you can't

This was all to get her to Antwerp.
