The Asset (Legenden)

She's on her way in.

Hi.

Welcome to Linnemann's.

Thanks.

Good to see you.

Let me know if you'd like to see some pieces.

I'm just looking.

Would you like some champagne?

Why not?

People tend to buy more after some champagne.

Thank you… I guess.

Mm.

You're wearing the bracelet.

Oh yeah.

Did you book an appointment just to show off?

Wouldn't dream of it.

I just received a new necklace that I believe might suit you.

Wanna see?

Yeah.

This is it.

I'll try it on.

Mm. Of course.

-Can you hold it up? -Yes, of course.

Is it gold?

Yes.

Eighteen karats.

And the clarity?

VVS1.

How much?

Thirty.

-I'll take it. -Good choice.

Do you do online collaborations?

-You mean like Insta? -Yeah.

No, not really.

Why not?

I have no need for it.

Okay.

Give me a call if you ever change your mind.

I like your profile.

And your posts.

They're a good fit for the store.

Okay.

The day after tomorrow,

I'm hosting a little event for new customers and regulars.

Maybe, if you want to, I could send you an invite.

You'll get to see my newest collection and meet some of my partners.

There will be champagne.

Plenty of champagne.

Okay, but I'll need to find a babysitter for my daughter.

Just bring her along.

There'll be goodie bags and lots of orange juice.

Well, then, thanks.

And, uh… thanks for the champagne. It worked.

Yeah, it rarely fails.

-See you. -Yeah.

-Bye. -Bye.

THE ASSET

The current status is that our asset has made contact with the target.

We at section one of the Special Crimes Unit

are requesting a warrant for extended wiretapping.

You want authorization to monitor an innocent person?

We prefer to tap her husband's phone, but it's been impossible.

We'll need clearly defined parameters of usage.

Well, if you had bothered to actually read the files I'd prepared,

-the usage is clear. -Trust me, I read the files.

I always do when I deal with you.

The information we have gathered leads us to believe

that her husband is behind the murder of one of our agents.

We also believe he's holding a significant sum of money

that is intended to be used as payment for a shipment of cocaine.

We're currently shutting down

the businesses he uses for money laundering.

We believe this will create a sense of panic within the criminal underworld,

and we need to listen to his conversations in case he drops the ball.

This wiretap, how long do you think you'll need it for?

One month to start with, and… an extension if needed.

Warrant granted.

Hi, Henrik.

Hi.

Bambi?

Bambi?

Hey.

Bambi.

Mm.

Get up.

Hey.

I called you all day.

You didn't answer.

Mm.

Take a shower and go get dressed.

Where are we going?

We're not sitting around here.

Hurry up.

You didn't dry it properly.

Relax, man.

What kind of deal?

We haven't made any deal yet.

It's an invitation to an event, that's all.

-Really? Go, girl. -Stop.

-I haven't even decided if I'm gonna go. -We know you.

-Of course you're gonna go. -Bring me with you.

Of course you should go.

-So, what's her name? -Mm.

Her name is Sara Linnemann.

-Can we find her on Instagram? -Yeah.

-Can I see her? Show me. -Here.

-Is this her? -How the hell did you find her so quickly?

-Darling, I have fingers. -Yeah, well, so do I.

-So, is this her? -Show me! Ooh!

-Wow! -Wow, these look amazing.

-Beautiful. -Isn't this the necklace you saw

that you really wanted to buy?

-Is that it? -That's so pretty.

-I wasn't thinking clearly. -You should go for it, Ash.

-Of course you should. -Should I?

Yes!

Darling, we're your friends and we are honest.

-Thanks. -Hi!

-Hi! -Hi, baby.

Hi, everyone.

That took a while. Can we get another table?

-About to shake my hand? -Yeah. Hi, Siff.

-It's good to see you. -You too.

-Excuse me. -Likewise.

-So, darling, has Miran heard? -No, stop.

Heard what?

Your fabulous girlfriend is about to become an influencer.

No, I'm not gonna be an influencer.

Honey, why are you downplaying this?

-Enough! Stop! -It's true.

Listen, someone just asked if I wanted to do a collaboration on Instagram.

-Okay. -With a jewelry store.

Which is what influencers do. We agree on that, yeah?

Want to see?

Sure, show me.

Stop being modest.

It's really nice.

It's worth it, right?

-This is her. -Okay.

She just opened a new, exclusive store. Exciting.

Yeah, for sure.

Please, darling, can we seat these two together?

Baby, taste this for me?

-Yeah. -It tastes like pure lemon.

Go ahead, try it. Usually it doesn't taste like this at all.

Geez, no, that's not good.

See what I mean?

Why didn't you mention this before instead of me finding out like this?

I didn't know that I needed your permission for everything.

This won't work.

Why not?

You're gonna attract too much attention showing off like that.

What do you mean? We spend our time in expensive restaurants buying champagne.

This is how we live.

How can a collaboration attract attention?

Hey.

What's going on?

Just drop it, okay?

Has she confirmed she's attending?

No. I followed up, but she hasn't replied back.

Okay. Fingers crossed.

This is the same as Ashley's phone.

Once you have her phone, we'll send a text to it.

The text contains software you need to download.

It takes about 30 seconds to install.

We'll be watching you,

and you can let us know when you're ready to get the link.

You can signal to us by stroking your hair like this.

-Okay? -Yeah.

What is it?

Nothing.

It seems kinda silly.

Well, if you have a better idea, then…

Go ahead.

It's fine.

You should rehearse.

Press "download."

After you download it, you must delete the message.

MESSAGES

Good. Again.

It's not complicated.

Okay.

How do I get ahold of her phone?

That's your job.

-Hello, may I have your name? -Ashley.

Thank you.

-Welcome. -Thank you.

We actually have another one that's very similar.

Yeah, but the bracelets we have are rounder and smoother,

-with more inlays. -Almost exactly the same.

-What do you think? Isn't it pretty? -Mm-hmm.

Can I play on my iPad?

Sure, just sit over there.

Hello, everyone.

-Hi! -My name is Sara Linnemann,

and I would like to welcome all of you here today

to my first event.

I'm so glad to see everyone, to get to meet you all.

Um, for those of you who don't know me, I am, uh, the owner of this store.

And before, I used to live and work, uh, in Dubai for quite a long time.
