Victor!
I’m here, Victor!
Faiza, I just heard your message.
I’ve just landed on Spitsbergen. I’ll try again later.
Hi, do you have the warrant?
Yes, we just received it, so we’re all ready.
We’re good to go.
I’ll wait over there. We’ll start there.
Yes.
Okay. Go.
Faiza Said. Faiza Said.
Come on!
Eivind!
Brouwer is here. Put out an APB.
- What’s happening? - I’ll call you.
- Set up a roadblock. - I will.
Hi, Eivind. Need the Seed Vault access code.
Jorunn has it, but isn’t answering. Call her.
No, Lennart doesn’t answer.
Yes, great. Bye.
How? I don’t understand.
How could you do this?
For 20 years, there’s been a way to influence food production
and fight world hunger.
And you buried it?
BSG forced him to stop research and remain silent.
So they could earn billions with pesticides and fertilisers.
People need to find out as soon as possible.
Is there any proof? That is all theory.
I mean proof that these seeds worked.
Yes, there is.
Sven Benjamin’s father Richard
kept a remnant of the seeds.
After his death, I moved them to Aleppo.
When the war broke out there,
they were taken to Spitsbergen with the other seeds.
How can we get them?
We've arranged for these and other SYCARDA seeds
to be examined on site tomorrow.
Hello?
Tess?
Hello?
What? Did you hear?
Hello?
- What the hell are you doing here? - Thea!
Get me out of here! Use the control panel on the right.
Lennart, has Tess Brouwer been here?
- What? - Has
Has Tess Brouwer been here?
- What did she do? - Why are you asking?
Lennart, be honest for once in your life.
Was Tess Brouwer here, and what did she do?
Lennart!
We... carried in a seed box, and then she locked me inside here.
Please just let me out!
She’s brought in the seed box.
- Lennart, you need to look in the box. - What for?
Go and check what’s inside the box.
And be careful.
Well, what is it?
Could you please just tell us what it is?
It’s... a bomb.
Fucking...
It’s connected to a phone. Please get me out of here now.
We’ll get you out, Lennart. I promise.
Please, just get me out!
I’m sorry for everything.
Please get me out of here. It’s all my fault!
Even the thing with Victor. Please, get me out!
What do you mean about Victor?
- Get me out of here. - It’ll be okay, I promise. Do it now!
- Please get me out! - God damn it!
The cause of the explosion has not yet been determined...
Anonymous sources claim the attack on the International Seed Vault
was neither an act of politically motivated terrorism nor an accident.
On the contrary, claims hint at a connection
to the takeover negotiations between BSG and Holymon.
That’s fake.
The explosion has nothing to do with the negotiations. That makes no sense.
I think they wanted to destroy all the evidence.
In Iraq? Are you sure?
Can you share that with our Norwegian colleagues?
I understand.
But try to get it done as soon as possible.
I understand. Yes, okay. Bye.
- Eivind? - Yes?
The special unit arrives from Oslo at 6.
- Can you organise transport? - Will do.
Jorunn should be back from the press conference soon.
She’ll start the interrogation right away.
I mean immediately.
You should go home. How are you doing?
You should go home and rest.
Nils, could you give this to Lena? There’s too much to do.
- Listen to me, you need to rest. - I need to talk to her.
Could you give Max and me five minutes?
Absolutely not.
You know the guys from Oslo will just come in and take over,
or she’ll be transferred.
Please.
It’s all right, you can leave us.
She’s not just any suspect.
We need to find out what happened, who hired her.
- Let's go in there, now. - Watch your mouth.
Jorunn, Jorunn! I need help here! Jorunn!
No, no!
I need help!
Jorunn, I need your help!
Give me a towel, something to put pressure on the wound.
Call an ambulance, hurry!
Jorunn...
Shit!
Max, what’s going on up there? The explosion... are you all right?
Don’t worry, I’m okay.
Listen, did you know Victor was working on a video
about BSG and the stolen SYCARDA seeds?
Max, wait. Not over the phone. Don’t say anything else.
- Are you being bugged? - I can’t tell you, maybe.
I have to hang up.
- If he had published that... - Exactly.
We just don’t have the final proof.
The proof is, Victor was murdered after gathering this information.
Now it’s our job to publish his material.
- What about Ian Ramis? - He was arrested after our meeting.
- They put him out of commission. - Their adviser was probably behind it.
- He knew what we were planning. - Hoffmann?
But we have Ramis’ ex-wife, Jule Kronberg, on our side.
She’s a former competition commissioner and has good press contacts.
Only so far we lacked the proof.
You have to show this to her.
Can we do it by tomorrow, 10 a.m.?
Come in.
So, we have the evidence.
Tess Brouwer shot my nephew.
And she was on your payroll.
Good luck getting a court to believe that.
- Brouwer is on Spitsbergen. In custody. - Really? That’s not what I heard.
You know, you could be dragged into court over this and sued.
For slander, etc.
I’m pretty sure couldn’t afford that.
As of today, there’s an environmental activist group bearing Victor’s name.
They have big plans.
And a budget of ten million euros.
There’s no doubt that Victor, with what he knew,
was a threat to the takeover.
No doubt.
You agree?
I’m truly sorry I was unable to detect
what was really going on before it was too late.
I assure you neither Sven Benjamin nor I had anything to do with Victor’s death.
That’s why I wanted you to take a look at this.
I think it will indicate clearly who Tess Brouwer was working for.
He wanted to discredit BSG and Benjamin
in order to run the new company himself.
To do that, he gave the order to blow up the International Seed Vault.
Meaning someone was even smarter than you.
Even less scrupulous.
I see you need someone to blame.
The only question is...
- As a cop or grieving uncle? - Victor’s death is down to you.
You’ve no idea of the world in which I operate.
Is that your explanation?
There is no redemption for your guilt.
And you are guilty.
Even if I can’t prove
Guilt.
Redemption.
- This is Brussels. - Yes.
And as I see it, you must deal with it all by yourself.
