The attack on the MSV mirrors the attack on her own home life earlier in the episode (her stepson being pressured by old friends). She realizes that protecting the vulnerable means becoming a target herself. Scene 4: The Confession in the MSV The climax of the episode takes place inside the MSV at dawn. Jenn brings in Dumitru , a friend of Alexandru who had been hiding in the vehicle’s storage compartment. With Marta translating, Dumitru admits that Alexandru was killed not for talking to police, but for trying to help another migrant escape Cochrane’s warehouse.
A breakthrough comes via (a heartbreaking turn by newcomer Ema Horvath), a teenage girl who volunteers at the MSV. She secretly hands Jenn a burner phone. On it: a video recorded by Alexandru himself, filmed from inside the MSV’s rear window. The shaky footage shows a white van forcing a smaller car off the road two nights before his death. The license plate is visible for one frame. Scene 3: The Turn – The MSV Becomes a Refuge and a Target Halfway through the episode, the case takes a darker turn. The white van belongs to Terry Cochrane (a returning antagonist from S3), a local property developer with ties to organized crime.

Inside, we meet Marta Ionescu (guest star Anamaria Marinca), a sharp, exhausted support worker who runs the service single-handedly.
