Berlin Station (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - By Way of Deception - full transcript

Daniel embarks on a dangerous operation that brings up difficult memories of his first posting in Chechnya and the beginning of his friendship with Hector. Steven Frost finds a way to position himself for promotion at the cost of his deputy Robert. Valerie makes a discovery in her investigation into the Georgian radical Aleksandre Iosava.

Previously on "Berlin Station"...

Sally: A second wave of
Thomas Shaw leaks broke,

exposing questionable ethics

at the highest levels of the agency.

The newest casualty being
Deputy Director Jemma Moore.

- What is this?
- That is why we are here.

We'll need access to every file, folder,

and Post-it note in this facility.

Where there's a paper trail,
there's Thomas Shaw

to light it on fire and burn us alive.

I took the files out last week,
and I fixed them.



- Nobody's gonna find anything.
- Fake agents, Steven?

They existed only on paper.

We took the payments for ourselves.

Thank you for protecting me.

I might have a shot at Deputy Director.

What? Do you want it?

I don't know.

Have you had any contact
with Aleksandre Iosava?

What kind of friends
do you think I keep?

You will go to his home

and bring me back
a full, detailed report.

He said yes? He's saying yes?

There were no overtures
to get you to help them?

No.

Your mission doesn't end
because I'm finished, Daniel.

Thought I'd make one last
contribution while I can.

Julian De Vos.

Kill list? He isn't dead.

No according to you he isn't.

I got to take a leak.

You need to be careful, Daniel.

You know, with this Thomas Shaw
shit going down.

Steven: I know you came here
on Jemma Moore's bidding.

She's gone, and you can't do this alone.

I want to help you find Thomas Shaw

'cause he'll take us down if
we don't take him down first.

You know, when I my daughter was a baby,

I used to try to steal away

Okay.

That's how we're playing it.

Shaw's courier.

Julian De Vos.

Unredacted.

How did you get it?

Well, I've been doing this
a lot longer than Jemma Moore.

What do you know about
the trigger puller

who was contracted to kill him?

Uh, Frank Dupont,
former Special Activities.

Last anybody knew, he was on
a boat in the Netherlands.

Frank Dupont.

Let's hope the boat's still there.

I'll track him down when I can.

Yeah.

Sorry.

You had a chip on it.

What is your deal, Daniel?

Something about you just doesn't add up.

I'm just doing my job.

Finding Thomas Shaw is not your job.

It's your cause. Why?

You were wounded in Chechnya.

You were branded a war hero...
well, by Langley.

And then for 10 years, you're...

you have a cushy analyst job...
10 years.

And then one day, what,
you wake up, you say,

"Gee, you know, I-I think I'd
like to go back in the field."

Thanks for the file.

Daniel.

Whatever it is
you're trying to prove, just...

don't let it cloud your judgment
finding Shaw.

[Soul music playing]

[Breathing heavily]

You don't decide where we meet.

Today I do.

I'm not eating my lunch in that dump.

What if I said I had intel
on the truth-teller Shaw?

Truth-teller?

You buy that shit?

Well, my company has just been
hired to safeguard the servers

for the newspaper
that publishes that shit.

- What does that mean?
- No hacker or government

will be able to spy
on the Berliner Zeitung.

Does the Zeitung think
they're being watched?

Of course they do.

Shaw has put
the world spotlight on them.

And now they can afford
to do something about it.

When's it happening?

We're moving all their content
to our facility this week.

Happy?

Now, I want out of this arrangement.

I need everything on the project head,

possibly access to their servers.

Did you hear what I just said?

You have expensive tastes, Lana.

That's probably why we caught you

pilfering all that cash
from your company.

[Sighs]

This the last time, Kevin.

We'll see.

Enjoy your lunch.

- Can I go in?
- Just one second.

Thanks.

I take it you're a no-show
at this week's conference.

Remind me.

Germany-U.S.-Iran economic cooperation.

Second round of investments into Tehran.

Well, yeah, that...

that would be my second favorite
thing to do.

What's your first?

Everything else.

London's Station Chief will be there.

Jason Wolfe? Definitely not going.

Well, you know, the White House
will be there, too,

vetting candidates for Deputy Director.

You know Wolfe's gonna be
gunning for it.

You've been talking to Robert.

You know, it was bad enough

having to work with
that bigot in Vienna.

What, are you trying to get rid of me?

No.

I'm trying to save us all

from having to work
with Jason Wolfe again.

Well, I don't think I'm ready
to leave Berlin.

You seem ready to me.

Daniel.

Thank you.

I need you to green-light an op.

What if I told you that I had a way

to get eyes and ears
inside the Berliner Zeitung?

All the documents
Shaw has and will leak...

we'll be a step ahead.

You want to put a tap on the Zeitung?

We have a window of opportunity.

The newspaper's moving their
servers to Joker's company

this week. She can get us access.

I just need station resources
to set up the malware.

I'll get a lot of questions back home.

You know, "Why are you hacking
into a German tech company?"

Call it a mole hunt for a Russian agent

working inside A.S.P.

But where'd the lead come from
for the fake mole?

Say it came from Hans Richter.

Whatever it takes,
so long as only you and I know

that this leads us
to the Zeitung or Shaw.

Okay.

Um, I'll charge it to my C.I. account,

and I'll make sure no one else
in this station has access

but you and me.

[Siren wailing in distance]

You saw the exchange of money?

Swingset forked over
an envelope of cash to Iosava.

Your move.

Can't confront him yet.

Donating money to a refugee
foundation is hardly damning.

But asking for 20 grand cash is.

You know what people like Iosava
do with that kind of money?

They build bombs and pay
the families of suicide bombers.

What's the benefit of waiting?

Buys us time.

I am not walking into
an interrogation room

without knowing the answers
I'm looking for.

Here's a thought... let's get drunk.

My best ideas always come after
a second bourbon.

[Chuckles]

Sweetheart, the only thing
that comes after

your second bourbon is your third.

I just want something
to reboot post-Faisal.

Something outside this
fucking fluorescent hell.

I get it. I'll see what I can do.

Where's Daniel? Is he, uh...

Any signs of anxiety
getting back in the field?

Anxiety? What are you talking about?

What are you... what are you?
His shrink?

- Ah.

- Hey.
- Here he is.

- Speak of the devil.
- Oh, yeah?

Did you want to see me?

I'll leave you guys to it.

No, no, no, stick around, Hector.

Frost is asking for a tap
on Joker's company, A.S.P.

That's, uh, network security, right?

Yeah, I just filed a report on it.

Yeah, he got a tip from the BFV

on a Russian mole inside the company,

but it's the first I've heard about it.

Well, you know the Germans
like to withhold intel

until it serves their own interests.

Along with fresh vegetables
and decent fucking Wi-Fi,

but that's beside the point.

So, you want me to tell them
to fuck off?

No, I want you to do it.

But I'm gonna bring Hector in to assist.

Okay.

Does it make sense for
the assistant cultural attaché

to be involved in a cyber op?

Hey, who do you think helped
the NSA bug Merkel's phone, hm?

Great, so you two have worked together.

This should be a walk in the park.

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

[Sighs]

You all right?

I don't need a babysitter, Hector.

I never said you did.

So, why did Robert bring you in?

I just wanted a break from dealing with

all that third-world shit.

And you know, this is
the first thing that came up.

Hey, Chechnya was a war zone.

This is just hacker crap.

It was. Got me. Busted.

But would you really be okay

if Jason Wolfe got
the Deputy Director job?

I have something...

big, potentially big for you.

Iran's Minister of Agriculture,
Behruz Zohani,

will be in attendance at the conference.

He's in some political hot water
back home.

He could be looking to jump.

- Where's this coming from?
- Mossad.

Oh, yeah, well, only they would
try something like this

on the eve of a major conference.

No, no, no, they've made
a couple of runs already.

This guy's a moderate
and can't be bought.

If we offer a helping hand right now,

Mossad is convinced we can recruit him.

So, uh, the Israelis
can't close the deal,

and they want us to do their dirty work.

You're missing the point, Steven.

If you deliver an Iranian Minister,

Jemma Moore's seat
is yours for the taking.

What's in it for you? My seat?

I don't want your fucking seat.

No, I'm riding your coattails

by, Robert, I do,

If there were ever a time to
rock the fucking boat, Steven,

it's right now.

What? I don't get it.

You complain about bureaucracy
more than I do.

This is your chance right now
to make a difference.

If they really wanted me, they'd call.

I know. I don't get it.

I'd... I'd say sleep on it,

About what?

All of it.

Were you?

Look me in the eye

and tell me you don't want
to be Deputy Director.

You don't want to be
closer to our daughter.

You don't want a fresh start with us.

It's about getting.

does not mean it's okay for me to fall
on the fucking sword for you.

That's funny.
You know, in all the years,

I don't think you ever once thanked me.

I didn't get a chance.

You made me buy the lie

on top of selling it to everybody else.

Would you rather
I told the truth in my report,

sent you home a fuck-up,
rather than a hero?

- You self-righteous asshole.
- Says the cattle.

You nearly got blown up in Chechnya,

and you almost got blown up today.

It's only a matter of time
before you get blown up again.

[Knock on door]

Reporter: European leaders
met today in Brussels

to discuss the plans going forward

without British participation...

Golda, what are you doing here?

Sorry for visiting so late.

No, no, don't be silly. Come in.

I heard about the conference.

Oh, yeah.

It didn't go very well.

I'm sorry about Behruz.

Fucking Steven Frost.

It's okay, Robert.

I brought you some soup.

You made me soup.

You look thin.

But now let's talk about
what else you can do for us.

[Breathing heavily]

It was amazing.

You were amazing.

The way you played that Jason Wolfe

like the stupid fiddle that he is.

Tell me what he did.

Mnh-mnh.

You tell me.

Was that for me today
or for the Deputy Directorship?

Would it be the wrong answer
to say they're one in the same?

That's exactly the right answer.

[Chuckles]

I hope this is the expensive shit.

Oh, I only save that
for the important company.

I followed Ruth Iosava today.

And?

She visited not just one
but two travel agencies.

[Scoffs] I can only imagine
how desperate she is

to get away from her husband.

Well, think again.

Been so busy watching him,

haven't paid any attention to her.

What's she doing?

Flying in suicide bombers, package deal?

Well, initially,
that was my first thought.

So, I had somebody check it out.

There were three
suspicious tickets purchased.

Berlin to Istanbul, one-way, in cash.

So, she's sending men out,
not bringing them in.

[Inhales sharply] Not me.

Girls.

Holy shit.

Holy shit is right.

There was one ticket

that was just issued a few days
ago to a Yasmin Bashir.

Germany confirmed that
she's already in Syria.

And Facebook says that she's
about to wed Zarqawi's friend.

ISIL brides.

And the other two?

Haven't left yet.

Well done.

[Chuckles]

Hello?

[Cellphone ringing]

[Beep]

Kevin?

Daniel: I'm sorry I couldn't
be there in person.

There's an envelope on the table.

Go ahead and open it.

That's everything we have.

Proof of the money you stole,
bank statements, surveillance.

What is this?

Another threat?

I'm done blackmailing you, Lana.

Your debt's paid.

It's up to you if you want
to keep on working with me.

[Keyboard clacking]

Say it.

I'm from Headquarters.

What took you so long?

[Door closes]

Drink?

I'm good.

[Sighs] I heard someone
pulled Julian De Vos' file.

Only a matter of time
before you showed up.

De Vos isn't dead.

- Who said he was?
- His file.

I shot him, sure.

But unless you got eyes
on a body yourself,

never count them for dead.

Then who claimed that he was?

Well, that'd be the Germans.

Headquarters believes
what it wants to believe.

That's its fatal flaw.

So you don't trust the Germans?

I don't trust anyone.

Who is Julian De Vos?

A guilty man who thinks he's innocent.

Guilty of what?

You got the file.

You just said the file was unreliable.

I want to hear it from you.

He rented three different
cash-only flats

to terrorist cells in Brussels.

He's either a willing conspirator

or a flat-out dumbshit.

Belgians took him down,

but not before some unemployed
sex-starved fuckhead

sent himself, two cops,
and one of ours to paradise.

That was eight... nine years ago.

He was young. I was less old.

So, De Vos was sent to a black site,

escaped,

and you were contracted to kill him.

What the fuck happened?

People don't escape those things.

[Liquor pouring]

Someone let him out.

You sure you don't want that drink?
