The Tunnel

So when I get a batch browned and ready to transfer...

I'm going to need a big roasting dish.

Where's this one from?

Brazil.

Not disposable, though, so don't play too hard with him.

Why is it always the quarter-finals

in these cooking competitions?

Do you have any messages for me?

Nope.

You just wait and we'll look after you.

I imagine your drugs are rather good.

General Stroessner in Paraguay was always very complimentary

about my black cocaine.

Do you want some?

Tempting, but those days are long gone.

Enjoy.

* Venez dans mes bras *

* Closer to me, dear *

* Donnez-vous a moi *

* Set aside all fear *

* Restons sans laisser pour l'eternite *

* Yes, you shall be mine *

* Till the end of time *

Have the forensics finished at the marina?

Yeah. The old man is really cut up about his wife.

Happy Birthday.

I don't celebrate my birthday, actually.

No, I wasn't celebrating it, I was just marking it formally.

What about the boat registration

and mooring permits for the yacht?

Tracking them down.

I think it'll be another case of "Singapore Fiscal Management".

How's things at home?

Things are really shit at home. Thanks for asking.

You talked?

Yeah. Laura says the fact that she even asks herself

whether it's true means our relationship is dead.

That's the sort of logic women are very good at.

There's really no defense.

Maybe she's right.

Here's another funny thing.

Sometimes I wonder if it's true.

Maybe I did do it and I've just forgotten.

Of course you didn't. Why's she saying I did, then?

Why would anybody make that up? Listen.

We did it for Koba.

Yeah? It's Koba, not Cobra.

We did it for Koba.

You're right. Does it mean anything?

Koba?

It's Stalin's 'Nom de Guerre'.

The name, like Uncle Joe himself,

originates from Georgia.

Like the...girl who jumped out of the window...

Or was pushed. From Georgia, yeah.

Which links to Vanessa Hamilton,

who, critically, is the one person

with separate connections to the case.

Did Bresson have any Georgian enemies?

Well, that's what I was going to ask you.

In the cases of Bresson and the threats he has received,

there was something about Georgia?

Sergei, Sergei...

Sergei Galatov...

and Faruk Basdarevic.

The two drug lords who operated out of Tbilisi.

And Gregor Baturin, he was Georgian, right?

He was born in South Ossetia actually.

That makes him Georgian by birth.

South Ossetia was part of Georgia till 2008.

He got 20 years in prison for arms dealing.

At Liévin. In a high security prison.

Looks like we'll have to pay another visit

to your friend Eryka Klein.

Hi. Good morning.

Whoa! Hey. Sorry. Hello.

Morning. Morning.

I'm flat-sitting for a friend.

Can I offer you anything? Coffee or a tea?

Tea. No, thank you.

Oh...

What?

We just have a few questions.

OK.

I'll get you a tea.

Ah, thank you very much.

Very nice.

How can I help? Well...

We're just going over a few of Bresson's cases

and threats he received.

We'd like to run a few names by you, if that's OK?

Basdarevic. Faruk Basdarevic?

He fled Europe and took refuge but I don't remember where.

In some country with no extradition treaty.

It's in his interests to lie low.

Sergei Galatov? Galatov?

Hmm. Deceased.

Was found hanging in his cell the day before his trial.

Gregor Baturin?

Gregor Baturin?

I don't know.

He was prosecuted by Bresson five years ago.

I am sorry, but I wasn't working for him then.

Do you think the case files might still be in existence?

Possibly, but I don't know where.

I think the best thing to do is to ask Judge Popineau.

He was working with Bresson then.

Judge? Perfect.

Judge Popineau. Popineau.

I will have his details sent over to you.

Great.

Thank you.

That's er...

Koba? Sorry?

Koba? Koba?

Or Cobra? Cobra...

Mean anything to you?

No. No?

No, I'm sorry.

That's all right. I'd better, erm...

Here, give it to me. Very nice. Thank you.

OK.

There you go. Thank you.

Thank you, Monsieur.

Gregor Baturin was born in Georgia, to a Russian father and an Ossetian mother.

His stance was a stark contrast to the Pro-Western Government.

I'm sorry, my English is very bad.

Bresson wanted an indictment at all costs.

Why?

South Ossetia? Yes.

Because of the horrible massacres committed by Ossetian militias...

armed by Baturin.

After the war, he left Georgia...

Was he imprisoned for this?

No, unfortunately the prosecution for crimes against humanity did not hold.

We focused on arms trafficking instead. Was it successful?

Yes.

Baturin was furious. He tried every possible loophole.

He even defended his son.

His son...Artem Baturin.

He is a good lawyer.

But Paul Bresson was a step ahead.

Baturin got 20 years and we uncorked champagne.

Baturin has every reason to want revenge on Bresson.

OK.

Hard to imagine him pulling the strings from a prison cell though.

Find out about the son?

Are his men still free?

These organization are like hydras...

cuts off a head and another grows.

I could tell you were hungry,

really. Yeah.

Nobody thinks straight on an empty stomach.

No.

How is your father?

How is he coping with life inside?

How do you think?

He is a man of action like yourself.

Yeah.

Only act, right?

Right. Right.

So, then...

just now you have to stop acting.

We need you to drop out of sight for a bit.

We have a good place lined up for you back home.

What?

All of a sudden you have the face of the substituted player

who does not want to leave the field.

Which player worthy of his place on the field ever does?

Robert...

with Defense we let you choose.

You were free to hit any target you wanted,

as long as it gave them a headache and didn't hurt us.

Defense is not finished.

I can build it again... It must be hard for you.

You want to go down in history

like Che Guevara or Andreas Baader.

And you should because you have done something truly unique.

Brought a plane out of the sky using a computer.

And yet you will never be recognized for this

because you are just a proxy.

I...I like to think I was more than that.

Am...am more than that.

You are a valuable part of the Maskirovka.

Do you know what that means? Yeah. Yeah.

Disguise and deception.

Uniforms without the, you know, insignia.

No. I meant, do you know what it means for you right now?

Hey...I know what the player who is sent off the field should do.

He should smile and applaud the crowd.

Hide what he really feels? Yeah.

Shake his manager's hand.

I am going to get a beer. Can I get you...a beer?

Yeah.

Hello? OK, we're ready to move him.

You want me to arrange the retreat?

Yes, but there's been a change of destination.

I think a trip to the Maldives would suit him better.

Aagh!

Aaaagh!
