00:00A friend of truth, a friend of truth, a friend of truth, a guide of youth, a few hearts like
00:29He is with virtue warmth, a few heads with knowledge, so informed.
00:38If there's another world, he lives in bliss. If there is none, he's the best.
00:59He will be with virtue warmth, a friend of truth, a woman of truth, a friend of truth, a friend of truth, a friend of truth.
01:46We have to get it out there. I mean, we have to publish everything that happened in the Congo. To Claude, to Luzamba, to Josh. I mean, I stand by what I said. There are millions of us.
01:56Well, I count four. Five. Don't forget Ariel. I'm serious. We're nothing compared to them.
02:07I think he's right. We can't compete. They got Luzamba, they got Claude, and if they can do that...
02:15No, no, no, no, no. This just proves how close we came to the truth. How scared we made them. Guys, we can still win at this one.
02:24We just buried my best friend. And you talk about winning? People have died, and some of that is on our hands.
02:31That's bullshit. You don't even believe that.
02:33It's just a fact that there are some people in this world you simply cannot win against. And quite frankly, I'm stumped that life hasn't taught you that.
02:41Coming from the guy with the trust fund.
02:43Hey, guys, come on. Stop it, both of you.
02:46We're all hurting, I get it. But this isn't going to help anyone. And Josh, he would be ashamed of this kind of behavior. Come on.
02:52Come on.
03:01Maybe, look, maybe we do publish what we have. And try to flush them out.
03:18Yeah, and then maybe it makes it harder for them to hurt anyone else.
03:22Yeah, or just easier for them to hurt us.
03:24Yes, that and perhaps you lose all credibility in the process.
03:28I want you guys united, but not rash.
03:30I mean, if you publish now, what do you have? A few photographs, some fake IDs, a lot of inference, and very little facts.
03:37Sorry, we have proof, Maya.
03:38You have speculation. If you can get proof, some video footage of your vanished journalist, the fake Ivanov, if you can fill in some of the gaps, if you can be as enterprising as I know you to be.
03:54Come on.
03:56You are the collective, after all.
03:57We could take another look at the conference center in Kinshasa.
04:08That's our ground zero, and fake Ivanov must have come from somewhere.
04:12Maybe you guys take another look at the CCTV?
04:15Yeah.
04:16Yeah, we're supposed to head to the airport now anyway, so.
04:21And we will see you online tonight, okay?
04:25Okay.
04:27You know the thing you said earlier about being Josh's best friend?
04:57I totally get that you knew him longer, and that I probably seem like a bit of a tourist to you, definitely to his family.
05:06But he wasn't just your best friend, or a son.
05:11We buried my boyfriend too.
05:15I know.
05:19I'm sorry.
05:20Are you okay?
05:29Are you okay?
05:29It's them.
05:39It's them.
05:42Hi, Lucas.
05:44Etienne.
05:46Hi.
05:47Hey, guys.
05:48Hey, guys.
05:49Let's do this.
05:51Look.
05:51Here.
05:52Where is that?
05:56The conference center in Kinshasa.
06:00It's crazy.
06:03Yeah?
06:03Just wait.
06:04You see, they've locked down their CCTV, but the neighboring building's on air kept theirs.
06:10They just let it sit there on the public internet.
06:13Okay.
06:14So?
06:15So, we get to just walk in, have a look around, and, if we're lucky, time travel.
06:22When is that?
06:26Four days ago.
06:28The day of the Lusamba poisoning.
06:30Give me your time.
06:31Uh, early afternoon.
06:321.30.
06:39Wait.
06:41Can you zoom in on the car?
06:44That's the car we've been filming.
06:47That's him.
06:48That's the real Ivanov.
06:50Our missile truck guy.
06:52Hey, someone's coming.
06:59Who is that?
07:02Wait, wait.
07:02What's that?
07:03He put something in his pocket.
07:08Is that something metal?
07:10Maybe a knife?
07:11No.
07:12Somebody wasn't stopped.
07:14I think it was a pen.
07:20Hey, someone exits from the back.
07:22That's a fake journalist.
07:23Holy shit.
07:24Okay, so, surely we have enough to publish now.
07:27No, no, no, no, Delia.
07:27I'm not sure.
07:28We have evidence they met.
07:29Okay.
07:30Maybe exchange something in the car.
07:32Maybe it's a pen.
07:33Which could easily contain some kind of poison.
07:35Yeah, but without formal confirmation Lusenba was poisoned, it's still just speculation.
07:41We need to identify who exactly the stranger is.
07:46Wait.
07:48I think there's a car park just around the corner in the direction where he disappeared.
07:52What are the chances that that place has CCTV, too?
07:56Okay.
08:04There you go.
08:09There's our guy.
08:10Yeah.
08:11Is that a credit card?
08:12Lucas, can you trace that transaction for me?
08:15No, not without access to the bank's computer.
08:18Could you find someone who could?
08:19No, we don't buy information, Delia.
08:21You're asking me to find a data broker.
08:23I'm asking you to do whatever's necessary.
08:25Not just for Joshua.
08:27For Lusenba.
08:28And Claude.
08:29Ah.
08:30It's a slippery slope.
08:31I'll see what I can find, okay?
08:35Yeah, I really need some sleep.
08:36Yeah, well, good morning.
08:38Sleep tight, everyone.
08:40Thank you very much.
08:41Bye-bye.
08:49You can also crush you if you want.
08:51I'm going to go see my dad anyway.
08:53Oh, thank you.
08:54I'm going to go back to Oz.
08:59See you, uh...
09:01Later.
09:03Tomorrow.
09:04Today.
09:05Today.
09:06Yeah.
09:07Bye-bye.
09:10Bye-bye.

13:15All of them.
13:16Good.
13:17Yeah.
13:34Tommy.
13:35There she is.
13:36Yeah, the data broker came through.
13:38So, do you want the long version or the short version?
13:40Short.
13:41Try long.
13:42Okay.
13:43Well, he found the transaction, which gave him a credit card number.
13:47And then we ran that number through a bin validator, which gave us a bank.
13:51It's MedTrust in Budapest.
13:53Then we took that information.
13:55Lucas.
13:56Short, please.
13:59Fine.
14:00I'll go to the chase.
14:02We have a company name.
14:0427 Black.
14:06Great.
14:07Okay, so we follow the money, right?
14:10Find out everything we can about the company.
14:11Aaron?
14:12Yeah.
14:13No.
14:14Sounds smart.
14:15Yeah.
14:16You should do that.
14:17No, we should all do that.
14:18Oh.
14:19Yeah.
14:20I had an idea.
14:21My father is throwing a party.
14:22Just a few hundred glamorous people this time.
14:25Anyway.
14:26He travels a lot through Russia with his orchestra, so he knows a lot of influential people.
14:31And he'll be inviting Alexander Portugin.
14:33What?
14:34Come again?
14:35Yeah.
14:36He's kind of my dad's best friend.
14:37Oh, Aaron.
14:38You mean this Portugin?
14:40Oh, Portugin is in the newspaper oligarch.
14:43But before that, before his reinvention, he was involved in a corruption scandal.
14:50Inside trading.
14:51Almost exclusively involving mining stocks.
14:54So, Portugin might help us understand what happens in Kinshasa.
14:59Well, I always knew his famous dad would come in handy one day.
15:05Delia?
15:07Lucas found a lead.
15:08Okay.
15:09We have a company name, 27 Black, in Budapest.
15:12I had a look online, and I found this journalist who really knows the financial landscape there.
15:19She's a Russian dissident, actually.
15:21Uh, Julia Petrova?
15:22Oh, no.
15:23Please, not her.
15:24Yeah, I saw you guys had some bylines together.
15:26Can you put us in touch?
15:29No, I really don't think it's a good idea.
15:33Oh, please.
15:34Her contact details aren't online.
15:36Yeah, and why do you think that is?
15:39I'll find her number sooner or later.
15:41I'm just asking you to save me a bunch of time.
15:44For what it's worth, I am going to do this your way.
15:47You are infuriating.
15:50Look, she is brilliant.
15:54And you will like her a lot.
15:55Everybody likes her.
15:56But she has very unorthodox methods.
15:59And she's not a safe pair of hands.
16:02You need to be super careful around her.
16:04I will.
16:05I promise.
16:07Bye.
16:08Bye.
16:09Bye.
16:40Julia!
16:41Hi.
16:42No, no, no, no.
16:43Chase.
16:54It's good to meet you.
16:56See how you feel in a few days.
17:01So what are you working on at Bannon?
17:03It's the typical stuff.
17:05Corruption scandals, local politics.
17:08A government systematically turning a blind eye into foreign interference.
17:12No matter the cost.
17:13Do you ever get scared?
17:15What would be the use in that?
17:22I can tell you a little bit about what I'm here to investigate if you like.
17:25Shh.
17:26Well, I just enjoy the drive.
17:28I just enjoy the drive.
17:29I just enjoy the drive.
17:30I want to push those in and I don't know.
17:31I don't know.
17:32I have to watch those.
17:33I don't know.
17:34I don't know.
17:35I don't know what I'm feeling like.
17:36I don't know.
17:37I really don't know what I'm feeling.
17:38I don't know.
17:39I'm going to do so.
17:40I'm going to get to do so.
17:41I'm ready.
17:42Hi, nice to meet you.
18:09He's very naughty.
18:10Oh, he loves everyone.
18:12I like naughty dogs.
18:14Come, you can put it here.
18:16Thanks.
18:18See you, Stock.
18:19See you.
18:20See you, Anya.
18:21Esther, take a break.
18:23See you.
18:25Hi, Delia, our nanny.
18:30Hi.
18:31Hi.
18:32Nice to meet you.
18:34I'm going to be a little later.
18:36Yes.
18:37Let's go somewhere a little more private.
18:39Yeah.
18:40I don't want them to do anything.
18:44And I sweep this roof box.
18:48Please, sit down.
18:51So, this company, 27 Black, your hope is to find out something more than its obscure name.
18:59Yeah, we want the individuals behind it.
19:01Company directors.
19:02Well, Budapest doesn't make that easy.
19:04Mm.
19:05But we'll try the orthodox rules.
19:08See ya.
19:09See ya.
19:10Putage.
19:11Paperwork filings.
19:12The business register.
19:13What if that doesn't work?
19:14Then we'll have to be more unorthodox.
19:15Sure.
19:16I was going to say fucking ballsy.
19:17Well, that works too.
19:18All right.
19:19All right.
19:20All right.
19:21Uh-uh.
19:22So if we got two, I'll be asking to talk about it.
19:23We're not going to know you.
19:24Like, what we're going to do?
19:25Using your mind in your life?
19:26That might be small?
19:27I'm not going to see you.
19:28Well, I'm not going to talk about it.
19:29No, I'm not going to be saying anything.
19:30You're not going to be talking about it.
19:31Not going to be something.
19:32But you're not going to be saying anything?
19:33All right.
20:04Gregson and DeBatista.
20:09Why went to the window?
20:11I should have known it's them. Very shady company.
20:13Sorry, I don't follow...
20:14The law firm that represents 27 Black. Come.
20:18Oh, my God, you work fast.
20:23G&D are an all-too-familiar name here.
20:26I've been investigating them for years now.
20:28Have a look at their website.
20:30Rather plain, isn't it?
20:31When you don't need to advertise your services,
20:35that means you're running off your reputation.
20:38And their reputation precedes them.
20:40Exactly.
20:43Can we get access?
20:46Not in the traditional sense.
20:49Their corporate security is mortar-tied.
20:51But I've been cultivating another way in
20:56for some time now.
21:05A paralegal who works there.
21:09Oh, I recognize this woman.
21:12She's the one you're taking pictures of.
21:13And we're going to meet her.
21:15And we're going to meet her.
21:15And we're going to meet her.
21:16And we're going to meet her.
21:17And we're going to meet her.
21:18And we're going to meet her.
21:19And we're going to meet her.
21:20And we're going to meet her.
21:21And we're going to meet her.
21:22And we're going to meet her.
21:23And we're going to meet her.
21:24And we're going to meet her.
21:25And we're going to meet her.
21:26And we're going to meet her.
21:27And we're going to meet her.
21:28And we're going to meet her.
21:29And we're going to meet her.
21:30And we're going to meet her.
21:31And we're going to meet her.
21:32And we're going to meet her.
21:33And we're going to meet her.
21:34And we're going to meet her.
21:35And we're going to meet her.
21:36And we're going to meet her.
21:37it's wednesday evening that means she'll have just been to the gym
21:55she comes here afterwards to unwind follow my lead
22:07hi patricia do i know you no but i know you very well i know that you always come here after your
22:29wednesday appointment with your personal trainer tamas i know that you used to come here in the
22:35morning but you recently changed your schedule didn't you now you prefer to go to the terrace
22:41cafe hotel cerulean you liked it there because it's tamas his favorite i also know that your
22:49husband a surgeon at the municipal hospital no less would probably be very interested to see these
22:56as with your son
23:02you are blackmailing me yes
23:10well it will work you're too late my marriage is as good as that
23:23no come on you're not thinking logically
23:29she's also bluffing
23:33i've seen your mortgage statement
23:37from one month ago co-signed
23:41what is it a holiday home you don't spend half a mil on property together if your marriage is on the rocks
23:50so let's start again shall we
23:53you were very good back there thank you but juliet it's unethical
24:15I understand that sometimes there are lines that you need to cross, but when there's collateral damage, I mean, she's just, she's just a symbol.
24:26Civilian? No. The second you agree to work for a firm like that, you know exactly who you're getting into bed with.
24:34Julia, she has a family.
24:36And so do I. G&D protects some of the most dangerous people in the world, so can I give you some advice?
24:43This is a war. We fight to the end. Then we mourn what we've lost.
25:13Mother, what do you think?
25:24I'm sorry.
25:39I'm sorry.
25:44Julia!
25:52Come on.
25:56I'm so sorry.
26:02I don't know what I'll say to them.
26:06He was the world to my kids.
26:09Julia, what happened to him?
26:14I don't know.
26:18Our neighbors often put down red poison.
26:21They've done it before.
26:23Please help me.
26:33Yeah?
26:35Our stand yesterday paid off.
26:37Patricia sent information.
26:38Anatoly Sugalov is your man.
26:40At least it's the name of someone behind 27 black.
26:44Huh.
26:44They even provided a copy of their passport when they opened the account.
26:49Holy shit.
26:50He's the man you expected?
26:53We knew him as Boris Ivanov.
26:55He was in the DRC, posing as a journalist.
26:58Um, hold cover for the fact that he's actually a fucking mercenary.
27:04He was probably behind the hit on Nisamba, and I think he's the one who killed Josh.
27:09Shit.
27:10Boris Ivanov's real name is Anatoly Sugalov.
27:15And from the documents Patricia sent, we've also got his phone number.
27:20You want me to find out who he's talking to?
27:25If he would.
27:27Particularly in the 24 hours leading up to Nisamba's death.
27:30Got it.
27:31Got it.
27:46Welcome, Mr. Battle.
27:55Okay.
27:56Bye-bye.
28:36Aron, schön dich zu sehen.
28:57Herzlichen Glückwunsch.
28:59Danke.
29:00Gerne.
29:01Nach dir.
29:06Talk to me.
29:27Anatoly Sigolov works for something called the Signal Institute.
29:31What do they do?
29:32This is the fun part.
29:33They say it's a sports drink factory.
29:37Yes, of course it's bullshit.
29:39It's just a cover.
29:40Yeah, and it's a pretty terrible one because it turns out that the Signal Institute is run
29:45under the umbrella of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
29:49So these are government-funded sports drinks.
29:52So Sigolov isn't just a mercenary, he's hired by the Russian government?
29:56Yeah, but that's not all.
29:57The scientists that worked there before they moved to the Signal Institute, they were involved
30:02in some pretty unpleasant research.
30:05Sigolov's a scientist?
30:06No, no, no, no.
30:07He's ex-military.
30:08He's brawn, not brains.
30:10He's their head of security.
30:11But his work does put him into very regular contact with Fazili Fedorov.
30:20Take a look.
30:23That's him.
30:24That's our guy from the car park.
30:25And I just gave you his phone number.
30:27Courtesy of Sigolov's own phone records.
30:29And not only is he the Signal Institute's head of research, he himself is a chemist.
30:37What kind of chemistry?
30:38Hang on.
30:39Fedorov used to work on nerve agents.
30:43Yes.
30:44And in particular, Novichok.
30:47And that's how Lusen bet died.
30:50Thank you, guys.
30:51Good job.
30:52Lo and behold, owned by the Russian Ministry, they make Novichok.
30:57It's awful.
30:57It blocks nerve signals, shutting down every single organ in the body.
31:02The diaphragm, so you can't breathe.
31:05The heart, it is a horrific way to die.
31:09Now, before I would have said, let's publish, we've got two names, Sugolov and Fedorov.
31:13But now, I want to get all these fucking bastards.
31:18Which means we need the name of the guy who actually deployed the Novichok.
31:21The fake journalist.
31:22Tomasz, Lina!
31:30Lina!
31:30Tomasz!
31:30Tomasz!
31:36Tomasz!
31:36Let's go.
31:53Let's go.
31:54Let's go.
31:56Let's go.
31:58Let's go.
32:10You can stay, Mary.
32:13You can't sleep.
32:15It's a pain.
32:17I think it's a pain.
32:19I can't sleep.
32:24I'm sorry.
32:28I'm sorry.
32:33I'm sorry.
32:36You can't sleep.
32:42Julia, uh, who was in the SUV earlier?
32:58Come on, I'm not an idiot.
33:01Your reaction to it was...
33:03Panicked.
33:08My investigation's reticage is that it's nothing new.
33:13But, yes, events have certainly escalated recently.
33:20So the window in the dog,
33:24you're saying they weren't accidents,
33:27that it's them sending a message.
33:32But why?
33:35I mean...
33:38Why wouldn't they just...
33:42Kill me?
33:44You can say it.
33:49I don't understand why they would go to all of this effort.
33:51This way, they don't risk murder investigations.
33:57And they don't create a martyr.
34:02I also think they get some pleasure from it.
34:04Do your children know?
34:15Never.
34:17It was already too much for Gaspar, my ex-husband.
34:20I would rather lie to my kids than have them scared.
34:25So you're telling the entire world a story?
34:27The road to truth always requires a few lies.
34:38You just have to tell a good enough lie.
34:40Tell it consistently.
34:41And who knows?
34:48If you're lucky,
34:49eventually you might even start to believe it yourself.
34:51Take back what I said before.
35:02About ethics.
35:05Fuck him.
35:13I'm humbled
35:15to have you here
35:17to celebrate this
35:18achievement
35:20with all of you
35:23means more than
35:24you could know.
35:26I mean, look at this thing.
35:27This is...
35:29Yeah.
35:31The truth is
35:32I
35:35never thought
35:36I'd ever be here.
35:40Until I got my act together
35:41I was
35:43selfish,
35:46willful,
35:48self-destructive,
35:49I was lost.
35:53But I found my way back
35:58to something worthwhile.
36:01I found
36:02my place
36:04in this world.
36:07and I stopped doing childish things.
36:11I started playing music again
36:15and now
36:16here we are.
36:17So it's...
36:18I mean,
36:19uh...
36:20Anyway,
36:21cheers
36:22to finding one's place.
36:24cheers.
36:34Excuse me.
36:37Mr.
36:37Puttukin.
36:38Aaron,
36:39it's been quite some time.
36:40Three years,
36:41four months,
36:41and two days.
36:42I remember
36:43because you emailed me
36:44about prospective employment
36:46and I never replied.
36:48And I just wanted to apologize.
36:50I was young and naive,
36:51you know.
36:52I'm aware now
36:53what a huge opportunity that was
36:55and I just wanted to say thank you.
36:56But I don't want to bother you
36:57for too long.
36:58Enjoy the festivities.
37:01I've been following your work.
37:03It seems you've been waltzing
37:06with my competitors
37:06at Globecom Media.
37:08Tell me,
37:09what makes them
37:11more attractive than me?
37:12Well,
37:13we've turned them down,
37:15actually.
37:16But I'm flattered
37:17you've been following
37:18my work so closely.
37:19It's difficult not to.
37:21The collective is very
37:22noisy.
37:24And childish.
37:25So,
37:26quite frankly,
37:26dangerous.
37:28But I don't care anymore.
37:30I haven't told you.
37:31I'm leaving them behind,
37:32actually.
37:34Forgive me if I find
37:35that hard to believe.
37:37You might underestimate me.
37:39What do they say?
37:41Your enemy's enemy
37:42is your friend?
37:45Consider me your friend, Alex.
37:48No, no, no, no, no.
37:50Most of these oligarchs
37:51are just opportunists.
37:52Surely that's not entirely true.
37:54You still need some intellect
37:55and grit
37:56and instincts
37:57because connections
37:58only take you so far.
38:00Connections are everything.
38:01I myself admit that.
38:02All right.
38:03Should we just
38:04agree to disagree?
38:12But I was,
38:13I was reading something else
38:14recently.
38:15It was research for an article
38:17I was writing.
38:18Back in the early days,
38:19back in Russia,
38:20before your...
38:20Before my change in career?
38:23Before your change in career.
38:24Have you ever heard of the name
38:28Anatoly Sugalov?
38:32Now that is a blast from the past.
38:34sur��들肌
38:48is the first time
38:49in the future.
38:50South
38:51times
38:51are in her
38:52as an interview.
38:53What?
38:54Good.
38:55Good.
38:56Good.
38:57Good.
38:57Good.
38:57Good.
38:58Good.
38:59Good.
38:59Good.
39:00Good.
39:00Good.
39:00Good.
39:01Good.
39:01Good.
39:02Good.
39:02Good.
39:03Is it Aaron?
39:32Yes.
39:33Sorry.
39:33No, all good.
39:34Who are you?
39:35The interview.
39:37Oh, yeah, of course.
39:38We're ready for you soon.
39:39I'm coming.
39:40I think now you publish.
39:43You have all your players, their real identities.
39:46What if we can get more?
39:49What do you mean?
39:51Hear me out.
39:53Why run 27 Black from Budapest?
39:56Why not Russia?
39:59Same reason they always do plausible deniability.
40:02Create some distance.
40:03Exactly.
40:10Fedorov, the chemist, meets Sugilov, the soldier, and hands him an item.
40:15Later on, we're assuming that inside the car an exchange takes place.
40:20Sugilov hands over that item to Kuzmin.
40:23So, there is a chance that Fedorov, humble chemical weapon scientist, has never met Kuzmin, the man who actually deploys the weapon.
40:33We could take advantage of that.
40:38Why do I feel like you're trying to sell me something?
40:42Fedorov's phone number.
40:43We got it when Lukas found Sugilov's phone records.
40:47Maybe we can get Fedorov to fill in the blanks.
40:50You want to call him?
40:52Well, I want you to call him.
40:53No, no, no, no, no way.
40:55Why not?
40:56I mean, we do it from a hidden number.
40:58You speak Russian.
40:58And if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
41:01For a start, I'm a woman.
41:03Well, then, it's a very good job that he's got a very efficient secretary to take care of all the boring administrative work that comes with being an international fucking mercenary.
41:14God, you are impossible.
41:17And insatiable.
41:18If I spoke Russian, I would do it myself.
41:21I can believe that.
41:23It's another lie.
41:25But do this one for me.
41:47Hello?
41:48Василий Федоров?
41:50Да.
41:51Это секретарша господина Семена Кузьмина.
41:54Вы звоните из офиса?
41:55Конечно.
41:57И так, я полагаю, вы не разговаривали сегодня с господином Кузьминым?
42:02Я болен.
42:04Тогда вы не знаете, что он попросил меня составить отчет.
42:08Нам нельзя разговаривать по этой линии.
42:10Вы должны это знать.
42:12Василий Федоров, давайте не будем играть в эти игры.
42:15У меня есть приказ.
42:16Вы же доверили моему работодателю ваш прибор.
42:20Значит, вы можете доверить мне отчет.
42:24Расскажите мне своими словами, как, по-вашему мнению, все это дело прошло?
42:28Это строго для нашего внутреннего отчета.
42:31Я...
42:33Ну, во многом все прошло по плану.
42:39Я доставил вещество господину Шугалову, как и просили.
42:43Но планы изменились.
42:45Как вы это прекрасно знаете.
42:48Я говорю о журналистах, о коллективе.
42:50Однако мы явно были в одинаково хороших руках с господином Кузьминым,
42:56которого я должен это заявить для отчета.
42:59Я хотел бы лично поблагодарить за то, что он оказался таким надежным хранителем вещества.
43:04Спасибо.
43:07И, наконец, не могли бы вы мне напомнить точный способ доставки?
43:13Я...
43:14Я полагаю, что растворение в воде было предпочтительным методом.
43:19Но прибор эффективен и при контакте с кожей.
43:24Это какой прибор?
43:32Господин Федоров?
43:34Мы долго обсуждали тип используемого устройства.
43:42Поэтому я удивлен, что господин Кузьмин потребовал это для своего отчета.
43:48Я так понимаю, это была ручка.
43:51Вы бы выбирали для меня?
43:54Да, конечно.
43:54Тогда вы должны знать им, какого типа.
44:07Шариковая или перьевая.
44:09Спасибо, господин Федоров.
44:11Этого достаточно.
44:12Что ты говоришь?
44:15Вы получили его?
44:16Вы получили его, не ли?
44:18Thank you!
44:48Sam?
44:50Camera?
44:52We're just going to start with the basics.
44:54Remember, Aaron, just be honest.
44:57Your father has been very clear that he wants this documentary to paint an accurate picture.
45:06It's okay, go ahead.
45:12It was...
45:14It was remarkable
45:16to grow up here.
45:18It was a privilege,
45:20and one which I am acutely aware of.
45:22Uh, it's
45:24a blessing to be supported like this.
45:26Um, sometimes it was almost like a fairy tale.
45:30Um...
45:32I'm sorry, this is...
45:34It's okay. It's great.
45:36Just try to repeat the question and your answers, if possible.
45:38Okay? All right.
45:40And just relax. Have fun.
45:42Your father told me that, as a little boy,
45:44you begged him to teach you to play the violin,
45:48and then he gave you his very own.
45:50He...
45:52He gave me my first violin as a gift,
45:54but I'm actually not sure it was...
45:56Um...
45:58Well...
46:00That's...
46:02Oh...
46:04Um...
46:06Let's try another question, shall we?
46:08Um...
46:10What was your first memory of your father?
46:14Um...
46:16Um...
46:18Um...
46:19That would be...
46:22Him hiding fucking coke in the bathroom.
46:26Aaron?
46:27Sorry?
46:28No, I'm...
46:29I think he's not well.
46:30Could we just, like, maybe...
46:31No, actually, I'm...
46:32I am well.
46:33Uh...
46:34No, please.
46:35Continue.
46:36Aaron.
46:37No, because...
46:38We're...
46:39We're...
46:40I'm not finished.
46:41We're here because we want to know the truth.
46:43Right?
46:44The truth about the great man Robert Battle.
46:46That's what we want.
46:47Aaron, that's okay.
46:48What is that?
46:49Don't forget me.
46:50Please.
46:53The truth is...
46:55that I'm sick of...
46:57seeing people like my father winning.
46:59I'm sick of pretending...
47:01Keep rolling.
47:02The truth is, I grew up with an addict as a father.
47:05I can totally forgive that.
47:06A lot of people struggle with addiction.
47:08That's not the problem.
47:09The problem is...
47:10that my father is a fucking...
47:12bully and a narcissist.
47:13And he has rights.
47:14Could we just wrap this up?
47:15You all love him.
47:16Everybody out there.
47:17Everybody loves him.
47:18But this is only because you see what he wants you to see.
47:22That's not him.
47:23He doesn't believe that you earn power or respect.
47:26He believes that you can just take it.
47:29But the only real power he actually has is the power of fear.
47:35And I'm done being scared.
47:38Are you ready?
47:40Yeah, I'm ready.
47:42Good.
47:43Thank you for this opportunity.
47:45Really.
47:46Oh, and the story with the violin.
47:49I don't think it was a gift.
47:51I think it was just the most difficult instrument for me to learn.
48:05We should wait for Aaron to publish.
48:11What do you guys think?
48:12Well, he gave us his blessing.
48:15I mean, he's probably wasted.
48:17He went very quiet in the group chat after he sent us that photo.
48:21That doesn't sound like him.
48:23No, but personally, I think it would be nice if Aaron should have some fun once in a while.
48:29Don't you think?
48:30Wait, says it Jen?
48:32Okay.
48:33So, Julia, what do you think of the article?
48:39I think it's brilliant.
48:41It's sanctuary.
48:42And you should be proud, all of you.
48:44Cool.
48:45I mean, you've actually managed to link these Russians to Luzamba's poisoning.
48:50You did it.
48:53So, it's decided.
48:55We'll publish tonight.
48:57Okay?
48:58So, Lucas and I will finish converting the video clips.
49:04And we will let you know as soon as we are ready.
49:08You're welcome.
49:09Yeah.
49:10Bye.
49:11You shake the tree and see what falls out.
49:15That's how it works.
49:17In the meantime, let's go and get a drink.
49:21Oh.
49:22Yes.
49:23Oh, it's Lucas.
49:24I'll get the car.
49:50Hey. Hey. Tell me.
49:52Yeah, listen. It's online. The story's out.
49:54Julia! We're live!
49:56We had over 100,000 hits. Our site is blowing up.
49:59Get some sleep. Let's touch base in the morning.
50:01Oh, OK. Bye.
50:20Oh, my God. You.
50:40Oh, my God.
50:50Oh, my God.
50:56What did you tell me?
51:00Oh, my God.
51:03Oh, my God.
51:06Oh, yeah.
51:10Oh, my God.
51:14Wow.
51:16Oh.
51:18Oh, oh, oh.
51:20Oh, oh, oh.
51:21Oh, oh, oh.
51:37Can you just hold me?
51:48Oh, oh, oh.
52:01Where are you going?
52:05Oh, um...
52:08I'm moving out.
52:12It's time for a change, so...
52:18What are you going to do about the violin?
52:26Never belonged to me anyway, so...
52:29He's going to be angry, isn't he?
52:33I don't care.
52:48That's a Russian number.
53:01Um, hello?
53:02The chemist you tricked is dead.
53:05I can't live with that.
53:07He was sloppy.
53:08But when you published my name, my photo,
53:10we have a problem.
53:12I'm Anatoly Sugarhoff.
53:14The people I work for move fast,
53:16and problems are cleaned up quickly.
53:18You made me a problem, so you have fucked me.
53:21Did you kill Joshua?
53:23If you help me, I will tell you what you want to know.
53:29I will tell you everything.
53:31And then...
53:32you can judge me.
53:33No, no, no, no, no.
53:34No, no, no, no, no.
54:04Then I would tell you something about your idea and something.
54:09I really want to see you're not competing with me,
54:11but there's noЭто verl specialist.
54:14And they've up to it.
54:15Go to Samsung.
54:17This is for Chinese forgiveness.
54:18You know, I don't know.
54:20After you've noticed,
54:21this works like me.
54:23Hi.
54:24edu.
54:26Yeah.
54:28You have a smart version of it.
54:32It's a reality
