There must be someone you trust.

ZSOFIA: And what do I say?

Another attack is planned.

Another Józsefváros.

More people will die.

But where?

When?

How am I supposed to... Find, find Will Chambers, find Andras Juszt.

That's the only way to stop this.

Blame me.

Tell them you didn't know about Andras until this moment.

Just find someone in the department who will listen.

Okay, okay, I will try.

Call me back.

He was here.

I held his hand.

If I hadn't... You're his mother.

Find me a parent who wouldn't have done the same.

What now?

Why, why did he go to that farmhouse?

To collect the money?

So far away from anything?

So now we're going to drive all the way out there and see if we can find something.

Yes.

Unless you have a better idea.

Poor me.

My children seem to have disappeared into thin air, my husband was shot by a lunatic, and my daughter was murdered.

"Isn't she brave?

How does she cope?"

But it isn't the truth, is it?

My sons are not victims, are they?

He killed people.

Alex made a choice to... People should know.

And, uh, then your conscience would be clean?

I didn't say that.

So why do it?

What reason is there to tell this to the world?

Why now?

I'll keep your name out of it.

You cannot make that promise.

Recordings of conversations between Andras Juszt and Kamilla Agoston have been leaked.

You know, strike a deal.

The conversations imply that Kamilla knew all about the shootings at Józsefváros.

That she was involved.

Andras had an entire hostage video faked.

He's good at getting people to believe what he wants them to believe.

So God knows.

One of the so-called Demons in the Daylight, as the papers called them.
