美剧【疑犯追踪】精读010 Judgement 谈判筹码

Season 1 Episode 5 Judgement

Scene: Bargining Chip

FINCH: I guess we know why they didn't ask for money.

REESE: I have six more just like it. Could be our bargaining chip to get Sam.

FINCH: There may be lots more where these came from. Angela's not sleeping with our kidnapper. I think she's in business with him.

REESE: That tech company she works for?

FINCH: They make banking software. The kind that can spot money laundering.

REESE: And I just found a room full of small bills.

FINCH: In 2009, she oversaw the installation of a new anti-money laundering system at Onestate Bank. If she still has access, she could turn that whole system off with the click of a mouse.

REESE: Then SP-9 uses one of the biggest banks in the world to clean its dirty money.

FINCH: They leave no digital footprint because this is how they pay for things. Cars, lawyers, safe houses. If we can access those accounts, we'll have more than a bargaining chip. We'll have a way to find Sam junior.
