I had worked for eight years at that point...

_

uh, up until that point...

to keep the country of Iran from a nuclear capability.

I organized a plan to transfer a sum of money

to the candidate who would

work against the goal of a nuclear Iran.

But... I put it in...

the hands of the other guy.

And that guy had set the table at that moment

to use it to employ a specialist

to put the final systemization

on their program.

So in May of 2012, I was in the position of

possibly having single-handedly armed Iran.

But the money got away from them.

Due to what we've learned is the inherent difficulty

of delivering an entity from A to B, I guess.

And an opportunity arose to get it back,

just a really nice opportunity to get it back.

To fix it.

It was, uh...

It was hard to stop trying to fix it,

my... my personally arming Iran.

So we stayed in there.

Remember, at this stage the...

I mean, at that point, the money was in the hands of...

Well...

a young puppeteer.

All we had to do was get through that week,

and get back to Luxembourg.

Is there anything you would like to say as we begin?

Yes.

Proceed.

I'm not really an industrial engineer.

This matter of yours, I'm sure, is serious.

And I don't want to complicate your case,

and take up your time.

I falsified my records here.

I have experience.

Former experience in structural design and integration.

But I have limited experience

in this specific field of engineering.

I misrepresented the degree of my experience

to my employer,

and to a point, my education in this field.

Your matter, I'm sure, is serious.

I understand.

And I'll account for myself honestly.

You and I have met before.

On my first morning here.

On my first visit here.

In your parking lot.

You seemed unsettled.

Then again in Luxembourg.

When you had a health issue on the street.

When you, um...

I'm not sure of the word.

- Collapsed. - Collapsed.

On the street.

A man with no police record in his native country,

no police record over his nine years of residence in Luxembourg,

was murdered on the night of May 11th

in Luxembourg City.

Let's begin.

You arrived in Luxembourg on May 11th?

- Yes. - With McMillan?

Yes.

Did you interact with any airport personnel

at the Luxembourg airport on the 11th?

No.

Do you have knowledge of any of your colleagues

interacting with airport personnel on the 11th?

No.

Did you haven any interaction with airport personnel

elsewhere in Luxembourg City on May the 11th?

No.

What's the nature of your relationship with Dennis McClaren?

Co-workers.

Friends.

And you spent some time together that evening?

Shortly after you arrived?

Yes. Walking around, checking out the city.

Mr. McClaren was stabbed

shortly after he says you parted company.

Where did you go after you left

the company of Mr. McClaren?

I was expected at a business dinner.

With my superior, Leslie Claret.

What time did you attend this dinner?

I didn't.

- You were expected. - Yes.

- You didn't attend? - No.

Your colleague Leslie Claret

said your explanation for failing to attend this dinner

was a matter concerning a bag.

Luggage from the airport.

Lost at the airport.

He claims you were retrieving this bag.

You mentioned at the beginning of this interview

that you had no interaction with airport personnel

anywhere in Luxembourg City on May the 11th.

That is correct.

I failed to attend that dinner...

because I'm in grossly over my head here.

I was unprepared for the technical specifics of that meeting.

And I spent time that evening

attempting to gain footing on

the narrow and obscure engineering specific to our field.

After I left the company of Dennis McClaren,

I walked to the Haupfhausen Western European Technical Library,

and I spent time analyzing the engineering necessary

for that evening's meeting.

In what manner?

There's only one technical manual

that regards our specific engineering systems.

"The Integral Principles of the Structural Dynamics of Flow."

I signed the book out.

And I sat trying to process what I needed for the evening.

It was too great a task.

I failed to diagnose and absorb what was necessary

to get me through that evening's meeting.

So, I arrived well afterwards.

And I told Leslie Claret the reason for my delay

involved a lost bag.

Which wasn't the case.

Please repeat the name of this manual.

"The Integral Principles

of the Structural Dynamics of Flow."

It concerns?

The complicated process of the delivery

of an entity from A to B.

- _ - Did you make any phone calls

May 11th?

From Luxembourg?

Yes.

No.

Do you know an Alice Taylor?

No.

Did you call Alice Taylor at 7:07 p.m.

from Luxembourg on the night of May 11th?

No.

This guy...

This guy, sort of unusual guy.

Suit. American.

He said he was something, something unusual.

Uh, attaché, he said.

Borrowed my phone on my way back from the technical library.

He approached me and said he'd had some belongings stolen.

Asked if he could call a family member.

And he asked if he could use my phone.

You allowed this?

Yes. I allowed it.

He seemed like he was in some trouble.

Do you remember anything else about that interaction?

- With him? - Yes.

I remember he never thanked me.

And he had a... a weird badge.

Would you please write the following.

77 De Champlain.

You seem sad.

I guess I am.

Why?

I've been concerned.

Greatly, I guess.

Concerned over possibly being dismissed

this last couple of weeks.

Which is why I'm sure I seemed unsettled

when we encountered each other.

First.

I haven't been able to eat or sleep

this last two weeks.

Which, I guess, is why I dropped that day.

So why so sad, John, at this moment?

I, uh, was dismissed earlier today.

Thank you.

For your time and your help with our investigation.

She's at the Colony Motel on Lauder Avenue, 207.

She asked if you'd just come right over after work.

Hey. Edward Tavner.

I have an appointment with Detective Mills.

- Regarding? - The theft of my attaché shit.

Check it out, guy.

Wait here.

I'll retrieve Detective Mills.
