Original subtitles

I'm Detective Sergeant Claire Wallace of the Criminal Assets Bureau. I have a

warrant under Section 6.

If I break client confidentiality, my business is finished.

You're afraid we're going to find the 27 million in there?

I didn't expect to see you today with all the bad press.

My sister needs her family's passport.

Do you plan on leaving the country, Mrs. Cecil? It's our family's holiday home

in Bilbao. You think of the 27 millions there?

When

I

said to wait for me at the airport, that wasn't a suggestion.

If the money is in that house or if Alice is meeting someone, I don't want

risk tipping them off. Tell me who you sent that envelope to. No, you don't!

car, okay?

I'll be right behind you.

Run!

Run!

Run!

Alex!

What's going on?

He has a gun.

We need to get the motor here.

I'm not. Who's inside of that house? Claire.

If Alice was here to meet someone, she might just be buying them time to get

out.

Update Velasco. I asked for backup.

Give me the name.

I'll throw a gunshot. No one's exited the house.

We need to get in there.

You're unarmed.

It's not protocol.

Wait here for a backup.

Okay.

What are you doing?

She's on her own, Sean. Fair.

She was clear. We need to wait for arm support.

Just be careful, okay?

From your briefing on Heathlip, I wasn't expecting this.

Neither was I.

There's a body in the basement.

Help the left girl secure the seat.

Go ahead. I'll stay with her.

Tell me what you found.

There's a man in the basement.

I don't know. I couldn't see his face.

Not the man with the gun.

The other man.

There are two of them.

Were you here to meet him?

I'm not here to meet anyone.

But someone else got here first.

Why are you here? I need you to focus, Alice.

Tell me what happened.

I came here to get my son away from all of this.

But it's followed us, hasn't it?

John.

Come on.

The prepaid mobile of OLAT received calls from the phone of a public

And she made calls to two different numbers.

Okay, well, one of them called here two months ago.

Do you recognize the number?

No.

Okay, another thing.

The notebooks you gave me this morning are full of this.

¿Es su taquigrafía personal?

¿Puedes leerla?

No sabría por dónde empezar.

Ya te lo dije, no sabía en qué estaba trabajando.

¿Y esto?

Son copias de las notas viejas, las que cogí de la mesa de Olat el día de su

muerte.

E -N -V -S.

Entrevista.

Shah means boss in Cyrillic.

The fish is by the name Rivar.

This is from the case of the Bacanes gang.

What happens is that I don't see these symbols in the new pages.

Because the new case is not related to the Bacanes case.

But... How did you figure out these notes?

I compared them with a job that he sent me.

Then you know how he worked.

Amaya, help me with this.

Tell me at least what the symbols you recognize mean.

If I help you, will you be able to save his sources?

I'll do whatever I can.

Maybe Velasco has something.

Alison or son?

I had them sent to the station.

Any update on the shooter?

No sign of anyone on the grounds or at the neighboring properties.

Forensics find anything?

They were gloved, so no fingerprint.

Not even where they pulled off the vent cover.

And there was no sign of forced entry. So whoever it was, they didn't break in.

Alice has to know more than she's admitting.

Have you any idea? Not on him, but if he has a record, then his prints will be

on file.

Alice would need help to move 27 million in cash over the country.

If her victim was a money mule... Maybe the killer took the cash.

Any progress with the Lichtenstein account?

No movement.

They wouldn't even confirm any link to the name Nicky Slips or any of his

companies.

Anything I can help with?

Maybe any pull with the Lichtenstein Financial Market Authority?

No.

We should put in a request to your pull.

Maybe the banks will budge if they feel like they're coming under their radar.

Anything else?

I'm still working on it, but I think I found something new.

When Heathcliff's investments failed, he made a real put to sign new clients,

small investors, whoever he could get.

This isn't new.

Yes, sir, but when we last spoke, we thought he used these funds to try and

rebuild his portfolio.

I'm guessing you thought wrong.

When I looked into it, I couldn't find evidence he made any new investments.

However, I was able to trade some of the money deposited with Heathcliff by this

new batch of clients.

It was transferred straight to his original high -network clients, paid out

them. As investment returns.

A Ponzi scheme. Looks like.

He took advantage of a lot of vulnerable people to keep himself afloat.

There'll be a lot less sympathy in the press for Heaslet now.

I'll talk to the Garda press office.

It'll come out sooner or later.

Do your best to get ahead of it.

Yeah.

If you need to speak with me, it can happen there.

Alice, last night someone tried to kill you and your son.

You need to speak to us now.

I need to be with my son.

Alice, there were two men in your home.

I believe you knew at least one of them.

I don't know what you're talking about.

There was no sign of a break -in.

That means one of them had a key.

Did you give it to them?

What was it, Nick?

We haven't been here in over a year.

We couldn't have given anyone a key.

You've never given a key to anyone?

Not a neighbour?

Cleaner? No.

We have evidence that Nick embezzled 27 million euro of client funds.

27 million?

We haven't been able to trace it.

So when we heard you were coming to Bilbao, we followed. You think it's in

house? and found a dead man.

It's possible that he was killed because he was involved in Nick's operation.

My husband didn't have any operation.

He certainly never had 27 million euros.

He did, Alice.

And I think the man with the gun was looking for it.

We thought you might have it.

If he thinks the same thing, he will come after you.

If you don't share what you know with us, we can't do much to stop him.

but I don't know anything.

Maybe you do, and you just don't realize it.

Pink, did Nick say or do anything that seems important now when you look back?

He was stressed.

More so recently.

But he didn't tell me why.

Could he have gotten caught up in something?

Without meaning to?

No.

Alice, I saw how scared Nick was just before he... Just before he

was... You were there.

Why didn't you stop him?

What do you need?

Alice said they haven't been here in a year.

But I'm wondering if her husband was making trips she wasn't aware of.

Also, we have a theory that our John Doe was transporting money for Heathlip.

See if you can find any links to bank accounts in the Basque territory or

that could confirm that.

And last thing, Alice is heading back to Dublin.

Tell Liam I want her watched.

We need to know where she goes, who she talks with, and if anyone else is

watching her.

Okay.

Veitia. Yes.

Have you checked that it's the phone that calls the office?

Okay, okay, yes and no. Give me a moment.

Let's see... No, no, wait, wait.

Okay, okay.

Lady... Sierra, Echo, India, Delta, Uniforme, Ceidú.

Okay.

They think he was held in a strapped position for some time.

Could be punishment.

Or the killer needed some information.

Do you think he got what he wanted?

Not if Alice interrupted them.

Either way, we need to figure out who this is.

Nothing from fingerprints, DNA, missing persons.

He's in his early 20s, in good health, no signs of drug use.

Oh, we did find something.

We found it in his pocket.

It's Invisalign.

Grace, it's Reynolds.

pricey, but you get a perfect smile.

So note what you'd usually see in someone desperate enough to carry large

of cash across international borders.

Any indication of what this is?

Yes, we found that crumpled up in the victim's pocket.

Not legible, but forensic is working on a reconstruction.

University student residency.

I'm working my way through Heathcliff's account.

Started on the financials. Nothing to put into it.

No social media report?

I'll work to her back on that one.

Foiling? Sir, the gun Heathcliff used has just been ID'd as belonging to a

Kearns.

And I just followed him and Alice Heathcliff from the airport to her

house.

Is he still there?

No, sir. When I got the ID, he'd already left.

I thought it best to inform you ASAP.

You did right.

What's your next move?

We bring him in.

But we approach him carefully. He's got more guns registered, not just pistols,

shotguns and rifles too. The last thing we want is another shootout.

We know anything about Carnes?

Anything come up in the initial investigation?

Don't recognize the name.

Liam?

dot every I.

After the Heathlip incident, G -Suck and the press will be all over us if we

make one wrong move.

Absolutely, sir.

Let's see what you can find out about this Carnes.

I want it.

Losing two homes in as many days could be hard on the kid.

I grew up near this park.

Loved it.

Great trees.

Class playground.

Had one of those huge slides you can't have today.

Guess I might send the kids into this stratosphere.

West kind.

Yeah.

When I was 13, some of the bigger lads kicked the shit out of me there.

Right beside the slide.

Still can't go back to that park.

I'm sorry.

I know I don't understand how you feel about what happened with Isla.

But if you want to tell me, it's okay not to be okay.

Well, it's okay to be okay.

I just meant...

That piece of paper?

It's a receipt for our hostel.

Let's go.

How do you know this woman?

She was my friend's wife.

You're referring to Nikki?

Yeah.

How do you know Mr. Heathcliff?

We went to school together.

Look, why did you bring me here?

What was so urgent? You needed to speak with Mr. Heathcliff's widow as soon as

she returned from Bilbao.

Her husband just died.

She didn't feel up to getting a taxi, so I collected her and Olly from the

airport. It's what friends do.

Now, what the bloody hell is this about?

This is about your involvement in Nick Eastlip's crimes.

My involvement?

Is that why you really met with us?

I didn't.

Look, I wasn't involved in anything.

I never even invested with Nick.

I'm an architect, okay? Not some kind of gangster.

An architect with an arsenal.

They're for sports shooting, for Christ's sake.

So you didn't know anything, you're not involved.

That's what I'm trying to tell you.

Then why didn't he kill himself with your gun?

No.

No, I... It couldn't be one of mine.

Just take me home. I shall... Take a seat, Mr Kearns. We already sent someone

your home to check exactly that.

It couldn't be. My guns are all secured and safe.

I've got kids. For God's sake, I'd never risk.

You've three pistols registered in your name, Mr. Kearns.

The one that's missing from the safe is the one that killed your friend.

Why did you want to meet here?

Alice? Hey.

You okay?

I had to see you.

You sounded so panicked when you called.

Why are you back?

In Bilbao.

At the house.

A man tried to kill us.

And Cam found a body in the basement.

Cam thinks it has something to do with Nick.

They're saying he stole 27 million euros.

We never had 27 million euros.

That Wallace woman made it seem she kept asking questions,

implying that I was a part of something. If she's wrong about you, maybe she's

wrong about everything.

Look.

I'm going to go back to the office, get my stuff, I'll take you home, and we can

talk this through.

What if there was something?

Something I should have noticed?

Something I missed? You'll go out of your mind thinking like that.

Right now, you have to think of you and Ollie.

Ollie's all I think about.

And he doesn't know why he can't see Nick to say goodbye and...

And I don't know how to explain it to him without making him wonder what it is

don't want him to see.

I've told him we're burying his dad down in the country so that Nick can be

beside his grandparents.

There really is, because I'm worried about photographers in the church or,

forbid, at the grain mine.

Every other word I say to him is a lie.

It's for his own good.

We're trying to protect him, which is what a mom is supposed to do.

Then I'm a pretty shit mom.

Think of how Nick got his hands on the code to the sale.

It's my wife's birthday.

Probably the first idea he tried.

Do you know when he took the gun?

I haven't used that one for months.

Sorry. God.

God, if only... God, if it just... Oh, that's helpful, Simon.

Simon.

I need to ask you more about Nick.

Yeah. Yeah.

Sorry. Yeah.

Okay.

When did you last see Nick?

Sorry. Yeah.

At tennis.

We play where we used to play twice a week.

Did you notice anything unusual?

Did he seem anxious or worried?

No, it would have been unusual if he wasn't worried.

He'd been stressed for months.

Money worries.

Makes sense now.

Alice told us the change in his mood was more recent.

But if she knew it all, then it got very bad.

Nick did... He hid things.

You don't think he would have confided in her?

No. He'd never tell her.

Especially if it was something dodgy.

He didn't like to worry her.

What is it, Superman?

Last month, Nick showed up one evening with a bottle of whiskey

and just drank.

Was that out of character for Nick?

He liked to drink, sure, but not a bottle.

Passed out on the sofa in my study where the safe is.

He took the gun.

Did he say what had him so upset?

Just that an important meeting hadn't gone well.

Do you know who he met with?

No.

He wouldn't talk about it.

I need to know exactly when this was.

My wife was out with the kids.

I texted her a heads up that Nick was over and in a bad state.

Thursday at eight, three weeks ago.

But he slips diary, says the meeting was at six. Is there a name in the

visitor's log?

And nothing in the emails either.

Security cameras.

Thanks.

Where are you on Karen's connections to Eastlip?

Hi, Liam. How are you?

I'm well, thanks.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Small transfers every now and then. What you'd expect from friends paying each

other back for dinner. No unexplained sources of funds.

No trouble with revenue for himself or his architecture practice?

No, no signs of money he shouldn't have.

And the gun club story seems legit.

There's a long -standing direct debit for the fees.

Okay.

So nothing to contradict what he told me?

No.

Good work.

I'll be checking in to the other lead he gave if you need me.

What can you tell us about him?

Not much.

He was staying for a few weeks, but he kept to himself.

Quiet.

Polite.

Well, except for the last time I saw him.

How so?

Well, he was in a hurry and he wanted stamps and I wasn't moving fast enough

him. Did you see what he was posting?

Was it a package?

No, more like a fed letter.

A bit risky sending cash in the post.

Maybe that's what got him in trouble.

He's in trouble?

Maybe.

Why?

Well, he was asking for directions to the police station.

He's booked in for another week, but when he didn't come back for his things,

should I have called someone?

What things?

Well, he took his camera and a backpack, but his luggage is still in his room.

We're going to need to see that room.

Yeah.

I'm sick.

Okay. Claire.

We just identified the body from the Bennett Holiday Home, a Belgian

His name is Adam of the Doof.

Maybe now we have a name, I'll find something else we missed.

What do you mean?

I've just identified the gun owner, a friend of his that wasn't flagged in the

initial investigation.

This friend, does he have any financial connections to Heathcliff?

No, but still we should have. He's been convicted of a crime?

Does he have any criminal associates?

No.

And the gun?

He's a gun club member, sports shooting, that kind of thing.

And you think that should have made us flag him?

Liam, if you notice something I'm overlooking, or you think we need to

prioritize a lead, I want you to speak up.

In the moment.

But if you're just trying to get a dig in after the fact, I'd prefer you keep

to yourself.

Is that clear?

Yeah, that's clear.

There's nothing in there.

Someone got here before us?

How far is it to the university?

About an hour.

Okay, let's go.

Claire, nothing suspicious in the damn Mercedes Traveler Fernandez.

No trips to Ireland, no links to East Lib.

Whatever connects them, I haven't found it yet.

Why would he pay for a hostel instead of commuting from here?

If he felt he was in danger, maybe he wanted to keep some separation between

what he was doing and where he lived.

His door is open.

It's okay.

He's police.

And your colleagues?

Detective Sergeant Claire Wallace. Detective Sergeant Sean Prendergast.

Oficial Betia is investigating the murder on Ola Zathora.

She was one of our best reporters.

She was murdered together with her family.

Only her daughter survived.

But why do you have an interest in Adam Asidu?

We could ask you the same thing.

We're with the Irish Criminal Assets Bureau.

We found Adam's body in the course of an investigation.

When was this?

Last night.

We just got the ID.

Adam and Ola were in contact probably before she died.

But I don't know why.

And someone got here before me.

Emptied the place.

And the PC, what?

He was thorough.

Smashed what he could and threw water on the computer.

Any sign of a forced entry?

Not that I can see.

A forensics team is on the way. They might find something.

You don't think so?

This case, nothing in it's come easy.

How did your case lead you to discover a dead body here in Bilbao?

We were investigating an Irish businessman, Nick Heaslip.

We needed to search a property he had access to here.

Search for what?

Money.

Heaslip ripped off a lot of wealthy clients.

That could be something Olaj was interested in.

But how does he do fit in?

That we don't know.

We do know he was trying to contact the police before he was killed.

Adam Acedu was my only lead.

Now I have nothing.

I think we could get further and faster if we work together.

With respect, I don't think that's a good idea.

Why? You can't think it's a coincidence that...

Azula and Zidu were both killed after being in contact.

No, but the Azula case is high profile.

And his priority now will be finding their killers.

And not trying to find the connection between Zidu and his slip.

Or trying to find your money.

Lore, that's out of line. But we just handed you another body.

Vale, vale. You are not wrong.

But I have hit a wall.

And there's a little girl in the hospital.

And she's all that is left of that family.

I really need to find whoever did that to her.

Okay? He's right.

Neither of us wants to waste time redoing the other's work.

We both have parts of the puzzle. If we work together, we have a better chance

of filling in the gaps.

Our IT experts should take a look at Fedor's computer as a... Do your experts

speak Spanish?

In that case, they will have to wait until my experts finish. But you just

that we could work together.

Yeah, I said we'll work together.

But this is still my jurisdiction.

And as Claire said, we don't want to waste time.

Our forensic accountant is looking into financial links between Sidhu and

Heathlip. We should give her a heads up to add all that sells all that as well.

Laura?

The raid on Nick Heathlip's Irish residence looked like it would be a

operation.

Based on information received, we obtained warrants for both his home and

office.

I'm sorry. I need to make a call.

She's calling her daughter.

Same time every day.

She's calling to say goodnight to Alana.

She's having her mum's tonight.

Anyway, you're an hour early.

Oh, of course.

You had that meeting.

Sorry. I'm up to my eyes here.

Slip my mind.

I'll call her there.

What's wrong, Claire? Did you fuck?

No, it's nothing to do with them.

Sorry, I'm going to have to stay in Bilbao for a little while.

What, for a while?

I don't know.

But as soon as I find out, I'll let you know.

Dunlop can't do this. He's taking advantage.

It wasn't Dunlop. It was my decision.

Your decision?

Of course it is.

It always is.

I'll call tomorrow. Explain it to Alana.

I love you.

I couldn't see it right away because I wasn't looking for it.

But once I had an idea, all it took was a data analysis of Heathcliff's client

records.

Can you go back a step, Nora?

Right, sorry, on my third coffee.

We thought Heathcliff set up a classic Ponzi scheme.

Early clients get fabulous profits and keeps getting them.

Yes, of course, they give more money, they sign up their friends.

And you keep it going for as long as you can while you skim off the top, using

the money to fund a lifestyle you couldn't otherwise afford.

He slip -stopped paying out to his clients.

Exactly.

He did it for a few weeks, then he just stopped.

Even though the money coming from the new investors was enough to keep fake

good returns. Yeah, you're right, it doesn't track.

And there's no sign he used it to fund a lavish lifestyle.

It's the opposite.

He laid off staff, cashed in his pension, cancelled the golf club

So where's all the money gone?

Same place as the 27 million.

Those small transactions to the Lichtenstein account, they match

could get his hands on in the days before each transfer.

Client money, personal money, everything he got, he sent it there.

And he never pulled from the Lichtenstein account, even when he was

mortgage. He waited for client money to come in.

All right, so we know where the money went.

The question is why.

Maybe he suspected Cab was on to him, wanted to move what he could out of the

country and run. That's what I thought.

But then the bank in Liechtenstein finally deigned to call me back. They're

playing ball? No.

Despite the criminal case, they can't tell us anything.

Because Heathcliff hasn't been a beneficiary of the account for months.

They can't tell us who is, of course.

Of course.

So he's been transferring every cent he could beg, borrow or steal to a bank

account he no longer has access to.

Exactly.

Heathcliff didn't take the money for himself. It was for someone else.

he needed to pay.

And when he couldn't, he was so scared, he shot himself.

Question is who?

Who was he so afraid of?

I might have a lead on that.

After a meeting with this man, he slipped into Cairns' house, drank half a

bottle of whisky and stole a gun.

I don't think it was a friendly meeting.

I don't recognise him.

We need to find someone who does.

Hola. Also, that last big story was on a Balkan -organized crime gang.

So if Nick Heathcliff was laundering money for them, then... And if he

the cab ride might expose him, that could explain his level of fear.

Except Dolatz was working on a new story, nothing to do with the Balkan

Well, our damage to do is the link.

We just have to figure out how.

Why would an investigative reporter call a PhD student?

No, no, no, no, I think you've misunderstood.

It was Obama who reached out to Dolatz.

He called her office first. It was a short incoming call. After that, all the

communication was through her burner.

Okay.

Why would a Ph .D. candidate call an investigative reporter?

Sadu's home was ransacked.

People were gone, computer destroyed.

Just like Althala's home.

There has to be something in Sadu's research.

Something he found that made him contact Olatz.

Whatever it is.

Someone's gone out of their way to make sure no one else sees her.

His university webpage is giving his supervisor a Doctora Itia Romero.

She'd know the details of his work.

We need to figure out what Sidhu learned.

We got them both killed.
