Mammon (2014) s02e08 Episode Script

Series 2, Episode 8

Watch the infallible fall.
Look after our little girl.
Knowledge must become this country's livelihood after the oil has run out.
I'll give him a place in history, a dark one.
Someone wants to stop my educational project, Yggdrasil.
I'll be prime minister before this month is out.
You're in office at my mercy.
Knowledge will be the light in darkness.
You raped her.
-Give me a reason! -No fucking way! Give me one good reason! I can say that you and Dad were like two souls in one body.
-But I want Dad's project implemented.
-Are you aware of the cost? -Was it him? -You can't reveal that.
-Not to anyone.
-What does Johs know? Nothing about the rape.
The three of you were in Istanbul on party business when this was taken.
What's in the picture? A Norwegian minister making a deal with China about a spy in the Oil Fund.
I don't believe in anything good anymore.
-I was 19 when I got involved in this! -But you're not 19 anymore! I'm not calling the shots.
I just want us to get out of this alive.
She's just as dead as you are.
She just doesn't know it yet.
How much longer? It's not personal.
If she's arrested, he's her only bargaining chip.
Yeah.
Well, seeing as you guys have killed everybody else If you want her to play her part I didn't fuck up.
You just say the word, I'll dump the body and I'm out of here.
-Anything in the bucket? -Yes.
Thank you.
Why are you keeping me? -We're working on something.
-Something What? The future, I'm told.
-Future? -You should eat.
She played you well, huh? Do you feel like you knew her? No.
Do you? There are three types of people who sell out their country.
People with a great sense of injustice who feel they can make a difference.
People with a personal sense of injustice who feel they can make a difference.
And money.
Ellen was essentially the first two.
And so was I for a while, but Fundamentally I realised I was underpaid.
She said you were unbelievably naive.
-I am? -Yeah.
Arrogant.
And all this made you feel better.
Did she make you feel needed? Did she make you feel loved? -Who's the politician in the picture? -You'll never know.
The other thing is She always thought she was smarter than everybody else.
I feel sorry for her now.
Her and her daughter.
There she is running around for the last two weeks just trying to keep her alive.
And you Such a fucking mess.
Why are you safe? I copied that disk that you stole.
So Fritzmann.
Hi.
My name is Peter Veras.
I'm calling from Istanbul.
Mammon Season II, episode 8 How did you get in? -Is my daughter OK? -Get the deal done.
We'll leave this place, and then you'll see her again.
Leave it.
This will be a decisive Conservative conference, Scheldrup? We'll have to do things in the right order and get a good process going.
The Norwegian people deserve a no-nonsense Conservative party.
Aren't you watching? 20 years in politics, and he claims victory prematurely? There's a fine line between momentum and clownery.
People watching at home are wondering if you'll be prime minister of Norway? I won't be launching my candidacy here and now.
But the winds are favourable today.
I've got the daughter under control.
-She'll be in our camp by evening.
-You know that? The youth delegates will tip the vote.
And they'll go with her.
-So youth is your speciality? -Never mind the girl.
Several of our people will pretend to vote for him to fuck up the count.
We'll talk about that later.
I've got a visitor.
Did I ever tell you how pretty I find you? Shut up.
Have you come all this way to tell me to shut up? No, to ask you to step down, for the party's sake.
-How nice of you.
-It was you in that photo, Erik.
I don't think you did it for your own gain, but to fill the party coffers.
No, you're here because you know that you've never been and will never be my choice for a justice minister.
Your man Fritzmann links the picture to Michael's murder.
It's precisely such unfounded speculations that can break the party.
It's completely different from us refusing to meet the Dalai Lama when he visits.
-I know that.
-There is no evidence.
So we can't stick a shotgun in our mouths and pull the trigger.
I'm going to make sure that this party survives.
This one or this one? Just wear something you're comfortable in.
But which one do you think? Well, the black one's more you.
I don't think I want to be me.
Hi.
Please come in and take a seat.
-Do you want something to drink? -No.
I'd like you to know I've told my wife parts of what happened.
And I've been going to weekly therapy sessions which I'll never stop doing.
The man you met that evening, doesn't exist anymore.
This is Johs Rytter-Hansen.
Please leave a message.
Hi, it's me again.
Please take the phone if you care about Amelia, at least.
I'm sorry, but I guess you figured that.
Right It's a dead heat without you.
-If you can't deliver, pull out now.
-You must be better positioned than him.
Your father never underestimated Erik.
He was always two steps ahead.
You have everything to lose.
I haven't got much left.
So, one more favour -It doesn't work like that.
-Inger Marie in charge of the reforms.
This is the adult world.
-Welcome.
-If you need to avenge yourself Then you would have been finished.
You can't dictate to my The medical records.
We're not talking conflicting allegations.
They found your skin under my fingernails, and sperm.
It's been DNA-tested, you're just not in the register yet.
And you should know, that if other girls step forwards with stories, then so will I.
Inger Marie has a copy.
Just focus on the goal, like you said.
And just so you know, I don't believe in therapy.
What's happening? Why is there no word? It's a matter of time before they find out.
Homeland Security is watching.
They've been asking a ton of questions.
About Istanbul, Peter and why he left me.
For how long can I hold this up? Do you want me to get caught? They're surveilling this building.
Listen! I don't know why Singapore is so slow.
They should've fucking signed by now.
We're ready to go in with 134 billion.
And Zhijun was supposed to get the confirmation.
Where is he? Your psycho-guy has taken my daughter.
I cannot stay in Norway much longer.
If I go down, everybody goes down.
Tell him that.
I'm sorry.
You thought I'd raped a girl whom I've known since she was 11? It was just allso terrible.
I didn't know I made the wrong connections.
I looked at her like my little sister.
I never saw that.
I just saw you being cold and I wasn't cold.
I was keeping my distance.
She started to look at me in a different way.
It was some sort of teenage crush.
I wasn't cold, but grown-up.
Keeping my distance.
They're going to tear her to pieces.
I know who's threatening to make it public.
-Is someone doing that? -Yes.
-Why didn't you tell me? -Aslak.
It's Aslak.
-Where are you going? -To talk to him.
Where have you been? I see what you've written, we have to -What are you doing? -Who was it? Who was it, come on! Who was it?! They're always on time, I'm told.
Let's see now What can I say, they signed.
I don't know what took them so long, but they signed.
Congrats, man.
Get back in there.
Thank you.
Excuse me, there's a Peter Veras waiting for you in reception.
You know I will be the one getting most of the credit Come.
-Why are you here? -What do you think? How stupid can you get? Where is he? Did you kill him? Where's Eva? I can't get hold of her.
-It's not under my control.
-You were wrong.
There's not just a picture, but a video too.
And that video can save you, Eva and Mai-Lill.
I know that you want the best.
But I have to come with you, it's the only way.
-You're lying.
-Yeah? Here are the files.
If you're in doubt, I have a backup.
You don't understand what you're messing with here.
-You've got no control.
-I had, until you turned up.
No, you haven't.
You didn't even know your husband had another wife.
-You have no idea what was in Istanbul.
-What's in that video? Your husband downloaded it to Istanbul the day he got killed.
What's in it? A minister who, amongst other things, uncovers you.
I'm getting out of here.
I'm starting over with my daughter, that's all I care about.
-I know.
-No, you don't! Stop it.
The only thing I care about is that Eva and your daughter survive.
And you and I.
Do you understand? -Why should I trust you? -How do you think I got out of Istanbul? Fritzmann gave me a passport.
And he wants that video.
Everyone wants that video.
But I won't give it to anyone until we're safe.
Understand? So now you're married to me, whether you like it or not.
If I'd wanted to get you, I wouldn't have come here.
-What are you doing here? -It's so busy out there.
Cut the crap! Has Peter been in touch with you? No, I haven't talked to Peter.
I'm sorry about that, but he's the employee I trust the most.
He probably did it for me.
What do you want? I know what I don't want.
Your challenger is leading the polls.
Comment? -Ulrichsen? -Thanks.
-We should have started.
-We'll be late.
-Why? -Let's talk inside.
-Where is he? -I doubt he wants to talk to you now.
-Why? -We must agree what the loser will do.
-Which is? -Shut up, smile and look happy.
With the emphasis on shutting up.
-Late as usual? -Get your people out.
I've got a proposal for a solution.
Is it Brando? An offer I can't refuse? Leave us, guys.
I'll see you on Thursday.
Do you know why I'm going to win? Because I'm not you.
Ain't that God's truth.
You'll get an ambassador position in Chile.
And you'll step down for health reasons.
A sudden ailment.
Now.
Is there something wrong with your head? Is it because of that picture? That picture doesn't exist.
People say there's a darkness in me.
That's nothing compared to that black hole inside you.
This meeting's over.
Why did you rape Michael's daughter? I've heard rumours about why you keep a court of female advisors.
But this -You're the bastard in that picture.
-What you think is irrelevant.
But you should be bloody scared of her.
Rape carries a four year mandatory sentence.
You should pray to God that she'll accept me as leader.
-You've know this all along.
And just -You can believe that.
Yes? Could you open? -Inger Marie isn't here.
-You're the one I have to talk to.
If I say please? Want some air? You don't smoke? Neither do I.
Excuse me.
-What is it you have against me? -It's not about you.
I don't believe you.
Will you listen to an old man for a second? You're about to enter a world that I I can't even remember not being in it.
I've left the man I love.
I've got a wife with less than a year to live.
And I'm at the mercy of the daughter of the only person I've lost to.
The man I owe everything to for being here.
We'd never got into power without his talents.
If you've heard me say otherwise, I'm sure I have.
-You fought him the hardest.
-I know.
I was angry.
I thought he did everything to make it about the person.
Charm, likeability, tragedies.
-I'm sorry.
-He wasn't like that.
No.
That's precisely my point.
I was wrong.
He had something I don't have.
And no one else either.
Not only did people believe in him, he showed them the good sides of politics.
He put the goal highest, not the person.
I've come to understand that, and that's where I'm starting.
Don't drag Dad into this.
You're not like him.
What am I like then? The only thing you care about is being the leader.
-And this wasn't about you and me? -I'm only here to Choose who will be party leader? That's not just "only".
I don't want a rapist to be in charge of our country.
You do.
-I'm not important here.
-Yes.
You're the beginning or the end.
-We can unite the party.
-I can't Do it for your dad.
You can name the educational reforms after him.
In 20 years we'll know if it worked.
I'll probably be dead from too many cigarettes.
And if I refuse? Then I'll leave politics for good.
Like a footnote.
And you'll get as famous as your father.
But for something completely different.
Less than an hour to go.
-How is she? -She sleeps all the time.
They're putting something in her food.
And in mine.
-She's coming with us.
-You'll have to go with him.
-You'll be fine.
-Ellen's here too.
-She's one of them.
-What? No Norwegian.
You're supposed to have something for me? I have to give proof of life every second hour.
Ellen must have told you.
Proof of life can mean a lot of things.
It's all relative.
I pierced your friend's eye.
And I shot him in the other one.
Do you want to watch while I blind your girlfriend? Ellen? Listen to him, Peter.
You'll do what I tell you.
She can't help you, she knows what happened Let us go.
Let Eva go.
Give up now while there's still time.
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I can't.
-She has to come with us.
-Where? To international waters.
-She won't talk as long as I'm here.
-I don't believe you.
How do you message them? -How do you message them? -Where is Mathiesen? -He's dead.
-His body? -Does it matter? -Where is his body? Underneath this boat.
I can help you.
What have you done? -What have you done?! -The same as you.
Get Mai-Lill now.
Get Mai-Lill.
Get Mai-Lill, I said.
Now! Why did you come? -Because of Eva and Mai-Lill.
-Shut up about Mai-Lill! Who? Tracking.
The USB stick.
Fritzmann and I.
Ellen You'll go up there and get Mai-Lill, and I'll stay here with her.
No, wait! Ellen? Easy now.
It's over.
I want to see my daughter! I want to know that she's alive! Don't do anything stupid.
-Look at me.
Put the gun down.
-They won't let me live.
You'll be in a Norwegian prison.
You'll be fine.
That's not who I mean.
Ellen? Look at me.
-I want to see my daughter.
-She's fine.
Put the gun down, and you'll see her.
We can't bring her down here.
-Put the gun down, and you'll see her.
-Ellen Ellen Do you promise to come and see me with Mai-Lill? Do you? Put the gun down.
Will you look after her? Promise me? Don't do anything stupid, Ellen.
We couldn't take any chances.
Have you got the video? -You'll get it.
-We had a deal.
Yes, but I haven't got it here.
I need a phone.
We don't know when you can publish this.
It involves many people.
It will take time.
I'm not going to do anything more on this.
I'm done.
Just hand over everything as agreed.
Yeah, I'm alive.
-Thank you.
-You'll get your minister.
-Hi.
-I lied, but you'll be pleased about it.
He didn't only step down because of his health.
In his own words: It was also for the party and because in the face of our grief, our differences seem minor, whilst Norway is facing big challenges.
He also stepped down to show respect for Michael's vision for a united party.
A Conservative party which will protect us against the evil that took Woll from us.
Ready? We'll still be the party that makes the voters look ahead and vote wisely.
It's a great burden, but none of us will carry it on our own.
In this way we will sustain Woll's vision.
-What are you doing here? -I'm looking after her.
This will put an end to empty words and vague promises.
We will show everyone.
Dear party members Please give a warm welcome to Amelia Woll.
Do you know what she's going to say? I don't know if I should be standing here today.
It doesn't feel natural.
At least, I don't think so.
I feel bad about taking speaking time away from all those who've been working so hard for the party, who weren't born into it like me.
Should we wait until after the party conference? No.
We'll broadcast a live feed now, we won't wait.
Call all our staff in for duty, including Society and even Sport.
It's been a hectic time, with lots of meetings.
And it feels strange that people ask me who I think should be our next leader.
Erik Ulrichsen was my father's biggest opponent in this party.
But it was Erik who told me about something my dad was good at.
A large party has to put its goal first.
It's not about who you are, but what you wish to achieve.
That's why our leader should be Erik Ulrichsen.
-Hello? -It's Peter.
You're at the conference? You always hated that I called to warn people I wrote about.
VG is publishing now.
Do the right thing.
What do you mean? -Take care of people.
-Who's that? "The Prime Minister as Spy.
The Prime Minister's Finished!" Everyone's in favour of education.
But no one will champion the young and the future like our party will.
"THE BIGGEST SPY IN NORWEGIAN HISTORY" If I can contribute to showing the young that they make a difference, not only in terms of whom they vote for, but also what -What is that? -VG's twitter feed.
Having said that, of course there are other "The Biggest Spy in History!" Blackmail.
Is that all you've got to say? You've got nothing.
VG would never print a smear campaign like this.
Homo homini lupus fucking est.
You know what's happening here.
You're here to stop what we want to achieve.
You know how many people we help? I'm here to stop you.
Didn't you get that? Your government is finished when the Istanbul picture gets out.
Could you let me watch this please? You're the man in the picture.
You must have realised that I knew that.
I haven't done anything for my own gain.
I did it for the country, no one else.
-Then why is this deal so bloody secret? -Listen, you moron.
I earned 20 times more as a company director.
I make nothing from this.
This is to let the Oil Fund manage all our savings.
-I'm not doing this for me.
-You made a deal with a Chinese prick.
You let him have a spy in the Oil Fund, in order to make him stinking rich.
You're doing this to be remembered, but you've committed treason.
As prime minister, I have given the Norwegian people a future by doing this.
Listen to yourself.
"The Norwegian people" You've pulled the wool over Norwegian people's eyes.
You have deceived them.
You've committed a criminal offense, and you've known it all along.
- As a fucking elected representative! - Do you know who the spy is? The mother of your child.
These people are dangerous.
You have no idea Are you aware of how dangerous they are? They're willing to do anything.
They'd be executed by their own government, should they get caught.
They kill.
If you do anything, your girlfriend will get 21 years in prison, if she's lucky.
If she doesn't get killed.
In which case Are you threatening Ellen? I'm doing what I have to.
You don't cross me! I'll tip off Homeland Security about your wife! I'll tell the Chinese that you're about to publish a book, then we'll see -You won't send people to their death.
-This isn't China! I thought it was China's industry minister, but they're corrupt people.
They'll get executed if they're caught.
These people are helping the Oil Fund Do you see what your father was willing to do? I thought it was all lies.
Someone trying to stop our government from make our biggest trade deal ever.
But it turns out to be that fucking "saviour"! Erik, calm down.
Calm down.
You guys leave.
Come on, get out! I'm sorry.
It's not only up to us to decide what will happen to her.
-What's the plan? -No one has one.
Do you know what we're doing? Ellen will be in the news for weeks.
She's going to be spared that circus.
I promised her that.
That's the plan.
Our prime minister, Michael Woll, is dead.
He was killed, probably because of deals he entered into.
Political editor of VG, Frank Mathiesen, has also been found killed.
As a victim of the same plot.
Homeland Security and Delta have killed the presumed perpetrators.
Including a Danish citizen who has been an accomplice to espionage and conspiracies against the Norwegian nation.
I've asked the state prosecutor to set up an independent commission.
I expect parliament to do the same.
Are you saying the government will stay? If you'd let me finish It's important to emphasise that as far as we know, only Michael Woll was involved.
But as acting prime minister, it's my responsibility, to take the consequences of the actions of our party leader.
Our government will resign with immediate effect.
End of season II
