A Most Wanted Man

Yes.

I picked him up from the airport

this afternoon.

I know.

You know what I need?

Are you afraid, my friends? Of us?

Of Islam?

People are suffering

throughout the Muslim world.

In Palestine, Afghanistan, Baghdad.

But do I believe terrorism

is the justifiable consequence

of this suffering?

No.

Violence against the innocent

is not the way of Allah.

My charities are set up around the world

to stamp out poverty, as well as promote

religious tolerance and understanding.

We rely on your generous support

to continue our work.

Thank you.

Yes, Maxi.

- Maxi? What have you got?

- Yeah?

Around 11:
00 a. m. police received a report

about a suspicious figure

in the central train station.

They were sent this image

taken from a mobile phone.

The quality's not great

but good enough to make a match.

Karpov, Issa.

Chechen, 26.

Classified as an escaped militant jihadist.

Potentially violent.

Approach with caution.

Pull that down.

Security footage has him returning

to the station five times during the day.

- Do we know that guy?

- Not yet. Working on it.

Give me the hands.

Some sort of note?

Currency maybe.

That's our last sight of him.

- Who else knows he's out there?

- The cops haven't made a connection.

- And upstairs?

- Doesn't look like it.

If not yet they will soon.

Karl, Rasheed, start with the mosques,

homeless shelters, don't break anything.

Niki, try the railway station.

Find out who the hell

that scrawny bastard is.

Great.

Thank you.

Lssa Karpov.

A Muslim first name

and a Russian last name.

What does that tell us?

That the boy is confused.

And no patronymic.

Is he the son of nobody?

Lssa... Jesus no less.

Maybe he's the son of God

and he's come to save us.

Save me.

Coffee, black.

Coffee, black.

- One euro.

- Cheers.

Thank you.

Hello.

That scrawny bastard,

they call him the Admiral.

He's drinking at Silbersack Bar.

I think you know the place?

Better than I should.

I'm looking at the receipts

from Abdullah's trip to Dubai.

Why make a four hour layover, in Cyprus,

on your way back from Dubai, to Frankfurt?

When you can fly direct?

I don't know, Gunther. Air miles?

With my luck that's probably all it is.

"Seven Friends. "

- Is that all you have Gnther?

- I wish.

It's a shipping company based in Cyprus.

Okay, I'll check it.

All right. Bye-bye.

Admiral.

Admiral.

Herr Dinkelmann.

Missing persons.

Strange boy.

Nervous.

He asked me to find someone for him.

A banker.

And this banker,

did he have a name?

You don't want it?

Brue.

Monsieur Tommy Brue.

Brue.

Word is Mohr is on to something.

His boys are hitting the streets.

Gnther?

They found Karpov.

Good.

Keep him walking.

Karpov, the Russian, he's ours.

Am I to understand you've found him?

I remind you that your license

to operate in Hamburg

is contingent

on your co-operation with my office.

I am co-operating, Dieter.

I want this kid to talk

to whoever he was told to talk to,

pray wherever he was told to pray,

sleep wherever he was told to sleep.

I don't want anybody else

getting close to him before we do.

And if this kid lets off a bomb?

It's in your hands, Gnther.

Thank Christ it's not in yours

because if it was you'd f*** it up.

Then I want it in writing,

your signature on the letter,

because when the bomb goes off

in Hamburg

I want you there

to see the blood on the streets.

Have you ever seen blood on the streets?

Clown.

Melik. We have a guest.

This is Issa, from Chechnya.

That's the kind of face I make.

Weddings.

Every time I attend one, I see

another good woman going to the wall.

Well, what about the man?

The man is the wall.

The apartment belongs to a Leyla Oktay.

Turkish national, German resident.

A widow.

One son, Melik.

Michael.

They have a citizenship

application pending.

Michael.

You've upset Dieter Mohr.

Really?

It probably has something to do

with the terrorists you're allowing

to walk the streets of Hamburg.

We're on a wait and see approach.

And what are we seeing?

Enough to keep waiting.

Don't underestimate Mohr.

He's got a lot of friends here in Berlin.

Why don't you give him the Chechen?

Let him shine

while you stay focused on Abdullah.

I think he's moving the money

to a shipping company.

Are you sure?

Not yet, but close.

I need more time.

I'll do what I can, Gnther,

but watch your back.

Word is

the Americans are taking an interest.

Thanks for the warning.

Americans.

Gnther Bachmann?

Martha Sullivan. US Embassy, Berlin.

I know you by reputation, of course.

That can't be good.

Men with good reputations

usually aren't much use to me.

What about women?

This is my colleague Irna Frey.

- Hello.

- Hello.

She sails and spies.

I don't sail.

Hamburg's a long way from Berlin.

What are you doing here?

Me? I am just an observer.

I have been observed by Americans before.

It usually doesn't end well.

From what I'm hearing, we're not

the ones you need to be worrying about.

Good morning, everyone.

Herr Mohr has compiled a report.

Our investigations confirm

that Issa Karpov is a member of a militant

Salafi group of Chechen jihadists.

Karpov was arrested soon after the capture

of the group's leader earlier this year.

Where did this information come from?

We have excellent resources

inside the Russian state security system.

After 24 hours of questioning,

Karpov confessed
