Devils (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Episode #1.3 - full transcript

01[..Subtitles by Milla..]01

The blood of the innocent is
shed to enrich the powerful.

That is and always has been, war.

Check out what just came in.

What am I looking at?
Mass grave outside Tripoli.

According to who?

According to whoever
risked his life to send us this.

Bloody hell, would you look at that.

Gaddafi is a butcher.

Maybe he'll finally get
what he deserves. Post it.

We strongly condemn
the use of violence in Libya.



But in modern times, war can waged with money as surely as with guns.

And the casualties of war are no longer
count only on the battlefield.

But at home.

From now on, I'll take care of you.

It's okay.

Do you really believe she was murdered?

Any inquest is held only if
there's a suspicion of violent death, Mr. Ruggero.

Could you tell if someone
had deliberately given her an overdose?

Someone could have. Or she could have
overdosed herself deliberately or accidentally.

I'm sorry, but there's
simply no way to prove it.

You know, I've always believed you
weren't like them, but you were better.

You're right, fuck you!
I'm better off without you.

Watch out!
Sorry.

Hey.
Hi.



Apparently there's a pass for me somewhere
. It's my first day so..

Name?
Oliver. Harris.

Yes.

Sir.
Yeah, sorry. Thanks.

What are you doing here?
It's my first day. Massimo offered me a job.

Well, congratulations.
You might take my desk.

A little bit of advice.
Watch your back around here.

Cock little shit...
Time to go.

See you later. See you
Have a good one, mate.

Yeah...

Look I just wanna say I'm really looking
forward to being part of the team.

Coffee?

This is Oliver Harris reporting for duty.

Dishonest, corrupt, greedy.
We've had these words shouted at us.

And the volume has only increased
since the crisis in 2008.

It never minded that banking industry
helps billions of people achieve their dreams.

There are too many people
who only wanna see the worst in us.

But today we're here to
celebrate.. the best in us.

The life of our friend and
colleague Edward Stuart.

See you at the office.
Ok, guys.

Dominic told me about Carrie.
I'm so sorry.

I am worried about you, Massimo.
I'm fine.

Whatever you think he
has done, Dominic is right.

If you try to retaliate against the bank,
you'll only end up hurting yourself.

Excuse me.

Detective inspector, Victoria Bale.
My partner Winks.

Massimo Ruggero. Do detectives
have habit of showing up to funerals?

A friend of mine used to work mafia cases
told me it's how you learn about power relationship.

You're a tough man to pin down.
Is it true that you and the deceased were rivals for the same job?

You really want to talk here?

We just wanna piece together his state of mind.
Seen that we were unable to track his final moments.

Mr. Stuart chose to jumped from the one place
in the building with no surveillance cameras.

Mr. Ruggero? Mr. Morgan
would like a word.

We can continue at the office.

So much loss. First John,
then Ed and now Carrie...

I'm sorry, Massimo.
Who told you that?

Blame is hard to assign
when someone dies.

Was is it your fault
for blowing up the Davenport deal,

Or mine, for not seeing
the all Ed was taking.

I've to go.

Let go of the dead, Massimo.
Otherwise, it'll eats you up inside.

Like it has with Nina.

..across the Arab world,
turned into an inferno when Libya today.

In a region ruled by some brutal dictator

Muammar Gaddafi has proved to be
the most ruthless of all. But after 41 years..

We sat at that bar forever.
You made me look ridiculous to my boss and to that reporter.

I'm sorry. Now is not a good time.

What did you find out about Ed Stuart?
Well, are you keeping your fucking mouth shut?

My wife died.

Because of this bank.
What ...?

No, nothing yet.
Yeah, Harris. With two Rs.

Don't say I always defend Massimo.
What should I say?

Firing Paul was his only option.
That's literally and figuratively untrue.

So you think it's ok for Paul
to go behind our backs?

I'm just saying there's more likely two sides of the story.

Or you're just arguing with me for the sake of it.

It's fun winding you up.
You know you always lose?

I've recollection of events.

Paul betrayed Massimo.
And he betrayed us. The end.

Really? What happened?
Why are you sitting there?

Paul said...
Paul was a trader. You're a trainee.

Your desk is...

There.

Okay. I'm very sorry.
It's tough with the new guy day?

No tougher than Massimo was
at me when I first started.

Assange describes WikiLeaks
as "an uncensurable system

for the mass untraceable leaking of documents ".

But your organization is a bit
more specialized than that, is that correct?

You could say that. I mean, Subterranea
doesn't release information

on war, political corruption
no "collateral murder" or so to speak.

Our chief background is finance.

Investment banks, IMF, rating
agencies, hedge fund managers...

All those who have made
themselves the new gods

and who doesn't worry themselves about
small things like democracy.

She was called Carrie Ruggero.
I don't know her. I'm sorry.

Are you sure?
I'm sure.

Okay.

She may have worked with another name.
She didn't work for me.

I went to all 3 agencies that service the club.
No one of them recognized Carrie.

Unless they were lying.
Why would they?

I don't know.
She was an addict, Max.

There's no one is to blame,
least of all the one person who loved her.

I can stay the night if you'd like.

I need to be alone. Do you mind?
Of course not.

Good night.

Any progress with Massimo Ruggero?
I'm waiting for the right moment.

The right moment was, immediately after
I gave you the order, wasn't it?

His wife just died.
Remember who are you dealing with here.

A shark. If he is momentarily
weak, we should strike.

I know. I think I can be...
Sofia!

This isn't a man who process
his emotions like the rest of the human race.

I know that, I just thought I could be...

Okay. I got it.

I didn't know about your wife,
I'm so sorry Massimo.

Thank you.

If you don't mind
I'm not feeling like company.

Do you think her death has
anything to do with Ed Stuart's?

I think I know why he died.

Have you seen this?
I watch the news too, yeah.

What if I told you it wasn't Gaddafi's
decision to slaughter these people?

Then who's was it?
The LIA is Libya's sovereign fund.

Gaddafi's bank account. We've
intercepted hundreds of their emails.

Lybian's finance executive called Samir Al Maghrabi
is suspected of being corrupted by...

New York London Investment Bank.

They're setting up some kind of deal.

What kind of deal?
We don't know yet but..

We do know the name of
the person Al Maghrabi deals with.

Your boss, Dominic Morgan.

Dominic is many things,
but a warlord is maybe stretching it.

Maybe you're not ready to hear this.
Maybe I'm not a conspiracies theorist.

Dominic Morgan operates on
higher level than graves in Libya.

LIA manages $ 70 billion.
Is that level high enough for you?

You know, Sofia...
I think Ed Stuart was part of it.

But he couldn't live with
the blood on his hands. Could you?

Doesn't prove us nothing.

Their latest exchanges talk about a crucial meeting
between Al Maghrabi and Morgan

In London. Tomorrow night.

I think that's where there's proves.

Ok, let's say I'm buying any part of this..

How is it linked to Carrie?

She was a smoke screen.

Designed to throw away the attention of
the one person with enough power and access to..

find out what Ed got himself into.

You.

I'm so sorry, Massimo.
It's late.

Our role in this, is to shine a light
where there's darkness.

If you don't like the what you see,
you have the power to change the world.

You just have to believe that you can.

But you do see the irony?
To shine that light

but you yourself must remain
in the shadow, in the darkness?

You have to understand that the
organizations that we are buckling here,

will go to any measures to protect their secrets.

Chelsea Manning has now being arrested
for breaking federal law.

Are you sure that these
sources are safe?

Our donors and our
supporters are in no danger.

Yes.

What have we got
down LIA and NYL?

I checked with compliances and all the assets
on by LIA are on some restricted list.

Restricted? What's that?

If they're on the list we're presumed to have insider
informations and not allowed to trade them.

Dominic is setting up a meeting
for some of his more liquid clients.

Where?
That I don't know.

A hotel, a club... somewhere private.
They won't want publicity.

I suppose funding a dictator who kills his own people doesn't
exactly put a shine on your reputation.

Disrupt Paul...

Jason or whoever... to short the ones who finally stitch

I thought you said we weren't
allowed to trade them.

Who are you? Compliance?
I don't get it.

When Dominic plays a share is on the open market.
The prices will be under pressure and go down.

We get a head of him by
shorting the shares in a dark pool.

But I guess you don't
know what's that either.

Dark pool is a private exchange, where you can
buy shares without other market knowing.

So when Dominic's shares go public we buy them back
at a much lower price and you make a killing.

What I don't get is all that LIA stuff.
Is just speculation, right?

Maybe this is the reason
Ed's turned down vice-CEO.

The reason he was killed.

How dis you know
Dominic was involved with the LIA?

Long story. Why?

It could be just a coincidence but,
when I was asking about Carrie, yesterday

one of the agencies said Dominic's
office reserved 20 girls for a private function tonight.

Did they say where?
I could find out.

Do that. Thank you.

Why don't you just go to the police?

And tell them Ed Stuart died because of
a file with my name on it, on his laptop.

A laptop that we stole.
I stole.

Don't stress. If they'd
suspect anyone, it'll be me.

We meet again.
We made an appointment with your secretary.

Is that your team, isn't it?
Yes, it is.

Kalim Chowdhrey,
Eleanor Bourg and Paul McGinnan?

That's Kalim and Eleanor.
Paul no longer works here.

Really? Since when?
Since yesterday.

It's a bit sudden, isn't it?

He decided to pursue other opportunities.
Who is that, then?

Oliver Harris. Young, isn't he?
Does he earn more than me?

That would be depressing.
Probably.

Do you happen to know if Oliver was
at mrs. Stuart's house, the other day?

I very much doubt that.

A young man matching his description
visited the house, two days after mr. Stuart died.

Detective, Oliver Harris started working here
yesterday morning. I don't think so.

Probably just a coincidence.

Should we go to my office and continue this?

I don't think we have anything further to ask.

Unless there's something
you want to talk about?

Thanks for your time, Mr. Ruggero.
You're welcome. Goodbye.

Where's the dinner being held?
At a hotel in London.

You have to get in there.

I'm not even meant to know
it's happening. I don't know.

Are you certain Maghrabi will be there?
You saw the email.

Who's your source on Libya?

A lady never tells.

Are you okay?

I'll go.
No way. I'm not putting you in danger.

I'll put myself in what I want, thanks

Don't worry. I'm not a lady.

The escort agency.

If Gaddafi falls, would that be
good or bad for America?

I'm popping out to get some lunch.
I'm Hank Marvin.

What?
Hank Marvin... "starvin '"...

You want anything?
Look around you. What do you see?

Never leave the compound.
Got it.

We'll make an exception this time.
If you get me a triple shot latte.

Okay. You?

Cool.

What's wrong?
You only get one big fuck up right?

No matter who you are.

If his judgement is off on Libya,
that's a hell of a fuck up.

I don't see the problem. Shorting
LIA portfolio is classic Max Ruggero.

Classic Max is months of researches
before taking a position.

So he got a tip.
Or he's not thinking straight.

He feels guilt over Carrie so
he's lashing out against Dominic and the bank.

Than think about Dominic Morgan's
level of anger aimed to us!

Hey.
Can I get a triple shot latte? Thank you.

There you go.
Thank you. See you.

Mr. Harris?
I'm kind in a hurry.

I saw you talking to my boss.

We know you took
Ed Stuart's laptop, Mr. Harris.

Sorry, what?

Why would do you think ...?

Did Massimo told you that?
No need to threat. We don't want you.

I don't know anything about a laptop.

Is that your official explanation?
Do I need a lawyer or something?

You tell us. Lying to a
police officer is a serious offense.

Why don't you sleep on it.

I'm in seat tomorrow at 9.

Okay...

Thank you.

You said the agency was sending
two dozens escorts. One more.

They'll have ways to detect that.

Don't want to know
what's going on in there?

Yes I do.

I find Al Maghrabi, I make
the connection with NYL, I get out.

Her name is Jana.

Hi, Jana,
it's Niclas from Butterfly Escorts.

I'm sorry for the late notice but tonight is off.
You know bankers. They canceled the all event.

Next time we're charging double, alright?
Thank you so much.

Is there something you
are not telling me about your past?

Be careful.

Name?
Jana.

Sign here, please.

Has everyone signed
the confidentiality agreement?

Thank you.

Don't worry... Jana.
It will be fine.

Let me say now, If the client asks you up,
to the bedroom that's your decision.

But of course there're bonuses
for those who accept.

Anything not clear?

Mobiles phones go in here, they'll be returned when you leave.

It was everything, ladies.
Have fun!

Wow! Excuse me.
Habibi... where are you from?

Nowhere. Everywhere.

That's no really an answer.
I know, so... guess where.

Oh you wanna play games?

Well, let's say...
Wait. You have to hold this for me for a minute.

Sure. Just one minute.

Okay, 60 seconds. One, two...
I'm counting.

three...

What were you doing in there?

I was with my date.
Samir Al Maghrabi.

Where is he?
He's inside, he's getting me champagne.

Come with me. It's for a chat.
You're kidding me? I...

There you are!

One minute.
Mr. Maghrabi, do you know this lady?

Sure I do. And obviously s
he thinks I'm a waiter.

Excuse us.
Have a good evening.

Bye.
Thank you very much.

You know, I swear I smelled
alcohol on Tyrone breath when I got home.

What would he been
drinking anyway with those fucking road-run.

And smoked. His eyes
were really bloodshot.

He's14! It's not right.

"Latoya babe, you're the best.
The way you always look after my little brother."

Sorry, what?

Now do I have your attention?
You're gettin it.

Is about that computer, isn't it?

I've to go to the police station in the morning.
I don't know what to tell them.

You tell them the truth.
And then what?

I'll never get a chance like this
again... chance to get us out of this.

Babe blokes like Massimo only care about
money and fucking people over.

If it's not this time you'll get fucked over,
it will be the next one.

Yeah but..
No, we're done talking.

I hope it's have been made clear to you that your
attendance here tonight is pretty vital to our success.

I have a club down in Pall Mall...

Alright, enough work.
Now it's time to play.

I'm going to fuck you.

I'm going to fuck you like you
have never been fucked before, alright?

Wait. Look.

You wanna play again?
Yeah.

You too.

Don't you fucking move!
Okay.

What happened?

Do you know him? This guy.
Yes. Chris Bailey.

He took over from Ed Stuart. Now
he's the next in line for vice-CEO.

He said something about Pall Mall.
The Pall Mall Club?

Maybe. I have to clean up the
sound when I get back to my computer.

Could be with Dominic's
selling the LIA shares.

You need to release these seals before he does.
What for?

It'll prove NYL and the Libyans have connected.

No, it'll just prove they
were talking at a party.

After the massacre in Tripoli?
That's plenty.

You need to get the photos onto your website.
Okay.

Stop it. Stop looking at me like that.

I'm alright.

I'm alright.

I am coming!

Don't tell me he already
quit after three days.

If you want to learn how to manage money,
you have to learn how to handle pain.

You get yourself a proper tie.
This is... offensive.

Consider it done.
That's all.

I have to go to the police station in an hour.

They wanna question me about Ed
Stuart's laptop. They know I took it.

How can they? Did you speak to anyone?
The lady who gave me the computer.

They didn't get anything from Nina.

Someone else must have seen me.
Or how would they have my description?

I knew this was wrong.

They said they won't prosecute me
if I tell them the truth.

Okay listen to me,
they want to use you to get to me.

Where's the laptop now?

Okay.

So, what should I tell them?
You do what you think is right for you.

I've been trying to reach you all night
We're on the move. What's up?

Didn't you get the Al Maghrabi footage?
Yeah, I got it..

Seems like the bank is meeting with
LIA investors this morning.

Ruggero asked me to put those
pictures on the website first

And I know it's not conclusive proof,
but the publicity will still be enough to

to stop Morgan, right?
Look Sofia, you're too eager.

It only takes one thing like this to backfire,
and all our credibility is lost.

Am I too eager?

Or you are too timid?

I know how personal this is to you
so I'm gonna let that slide okay?

But I'm spending way too much valuable
time trying yo cool you down.

Look, Daniel, I'm really getting somewhere with Massimo.

If we run the footage I'll gain his trust.
And that's what we..

We strike when I say we strike.

Keep your eyes on the prize.
Personal score con be set later.

Shut this off, please. Thank you.

Which way? This way?

A club at Pall Mall...

The Guardian.
Hilary Mason, please.

Good morning, Mr. Harris.
Good morning.

Interview started at 9.04.
Detective inspector Bale and Diaz Winks present.

Did you have time to think about
our question yesterday?

Yes... yes, I did.

Do you admit you've take the laptop
from Ed Stuart's house?

I'm sorry, but I really don't know
what you're talking about.

You do understand the housekeeper can positively identify you.
She saw you from the window.

She must be mistaken. I have
been to Edward Stuart's house.

I get it. The job of your dreams.. Massimo Ruggero
is your ticket to a better life.

But you perjure yourself in a police investigation, and you
are just another kid from the street who ends up inside.

I think I answered your question.
Can I go now?

Interview terminated at 9.06.

I want to thank you all for being here on time.

I know it was a late night and a
long night for some of you.

We're gonna proceed with the details
of the sale, but before we do...

Chris is gonna give you a little bit
of a background on the fund.

As you know, the Libyan Investment
Authority was found in 2006

to create a diversified source of income
for future generations...

What is it?
This. Just broke on the Guardian website.

From last night.
Someone got trough.

Who is the reporter on the story?
Hilary Mason.

Mr. Morgan,
would you like to make a statement?

No comment from the NYL chief Dominic Morgan
about photographs

suggesting the bank is in league with Gaddafi,

The Libyan strongman, condemned for having killed
thousands of his people.

Bank's share have dropped 10%
since we've been standing here.

I love watching my wages evaporate.

How much did you know about this?
I hope you know what you're doing.

We're not happy about this, Dominic.
I'm not exactly doing backflips here, Margaret.

People connecting us with
Gaddafi's money would be... sub-optimum !

I know that, I'm going to take care of it.

When?
Now, of course.

Thanks, Janet. See you later.

Hey!
What the fuck were you thinking?

You said to get the story out, that's what I did.

On Subterranea's website.
Not in the bloody Guardian!

Who cares, people know he truth now,
that's the most important thing.

Dominic knows I was going
to meet Hilary Mason. He's not stupid.

I gave you what I promised.
A major fucking headache.

No, proof that NYL had blood on his hands
to fucking drive a man to suicide.

I have to go.
Massimo? Massimo!

What's going on?
Dominic is about to hold a press conference.

Good morning everyone.
Thank you for taking the time for coming in here.

The rumors and reckless allegation in the
press this morning are deeply disturbing to me

my bank and to my family.

Far from supporting the Gaddafi regime.
My meetings with Samir Al Maghrabi

a courageous executive in the Libyan found,
had been for the opposite purpose.

I'm not taking Massimo's side anymore.

To ensure that Libya has a
free and democratic prosperous future.

Are you saying that Mr. Al Maghrabi
has broken with the regime?

Mr. Al Maghrabi has long been secretly dissociated
from the Gaddafi regime.

We have been working to make resources available
for reconstruction when this horrible war come to an end.

Mr. Al Maghrabi and this bank are
committed to the future of free Libyan people.

Any questions?

Yes, mr. Morgan.
Would you like to elaborate?

Examining a joint statement
that Gaddafi reign must end

American and French military jets launched
a bombing campaign this morning against the embattled dictator.

Sofia.

What's this?
Nothing.

Nothing?

Conviction to the cause.
The case?

This has got nothing to do with the cause.

This is you being obsessive with revenging
against Dominic Morgan, it's impairing your judgment.

Bullshit.

You can't tell me Morgan is the saint
they're painting him in the press.

Well masses is perception.

You're the one who made him look good
because you disobeyed my orders.

I wonder what Massimo
Ruggero will make of this.

I see...

Months of work just...
I have a relationship with him now.

I still can talk...
What did I say? What the fuck I was saying?

You don't go after a man
like Dominic Morgan with a knife or a gun.

You go with an army or you stay the fuck out.

I'm sorry.
Oh, you're sorry?

Oh I mean, the US freezes
$ 32 billion in Libyan assets

and Morgan probably makes
millions selling shares to his investors.

But as long as you're sorry...

I'll have to reassess your
value for Subterranea.

Daniel ...!

If ever there was a man as skilled to turn
this situation to his advantage..

I have yet to meet him.
Every crisis is an opportunity.

We are all very impressed. And grateful.

And eager that nothing
like this happens ever again.

It won't.

Merciful Lord,
you know the anguish of the sorrowful.

You're attentive to the prayers of the humble.

Hear your people
who cry out to you in their need.

And strengthen their hope
in your lasting goodness.

We ask this through
Christ our Lord. Amen.

I am sorry.
Thank you.

I'm truly sorry for your loss.
Are you?

I know you shorted the LIA shares.

There's a reason that Stuart died.

I don't know what's going on in your mind,
but I'm not the enemy.

I hope you know that now.

I've already lost one son.

I don't want to lose another one.

We are not a team.
I don't want you on my team.

Fuck you!

They dropped this off.
They finally found it at his office.

"Care of Claire Stuart".
Good. Get it analyzed ASAP.

What does the post-mortem say?

The deceased presents with breaks to the radius,
distal ulnar and a fracture to the distal radius of the left hand.

All of the above, plus the broken humerus, fractured scapula on the right.

They broke his arms.

It's how he broke them. Combined with the angle, the twitch the body landed
suggest his arms were out to protect from the impact

He was pushed...

Yeah.

I'm not your team. We are not a team.

Fuck you!

You can see here for the first time a dazed and confused Gaddafi bleeding
heavily from a wound on his head

and on his arm and apparently from other
injuries to his neck and torso.

Staining his tunic red with blood.
