Original subtitles

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

I don't know anything.

Alice, I saw how scared Nick was just before he... you were there.

And why

did Nick kill himself with your gun? It was transferred straight to his original

high -network clients, paid out to them as investment returns.

The Ponzi scheme.

PhD student at the University of the Basque Country.

How far is it to the university?

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

He still didn't take the money for himself. It was for someone else. Why

an investigative reporter call a PhD student?

It was a dama who reached out to us. He called the office first.

His university webpage is giving his supervisor a... We need to figure out

Sidney learned. We got them both killed.

Great that Professor Romero can meet us at short notice.

Let's hope she can tell us more about Adama.

Tell me, Maria.

Is everything all right, darling?

Yes, yes.

Are you okay, Professor?

I don't understand.

Why him?

We think Adama's death may be connected to the murder of Olazalzola through his

research.

His thesis was on patterns of migration.

I'm not sure that would be of interest to a crime reporter.

Do you have a copy of his research?

I have his initial outline.

He was still in the early stages.

Collecting data.

This is a draft of the questionnaire he was using.

Can you tell us about Adama?

He was engaged.

Compassionate. The perfect candidate for this study.

Because of his personal experience?

No. Because of his skill.

Adama was born in Belgium.

His mother left Rwanda years earlier, in the early 90s.

And his father was Congolese.

But I have no doubt that listening to them, their story, gave him a certain

insight.

So we need more questions to ask.

And more importantly, how to ask them.

That helped him to spot trends that were previously overlooked or ignored.

We believe that he posted something before he died.

Have you received anything from him?

Did Adama reach out to you in the last few days?

There was a missed call from him, but he didn't leave a message.

I'm an advisor on multiple thesis projects. I have classes, my own

I should have checked in with him.

Nothing.

Sorry.

Olathe's notes referenced an Adama Sidhu interview.

And I thought Olathe interviewed Adama, but now I think she meant the

questionnaires.

Lore, what do you have?

Adama rang multiple immigration centers in the week leading up to his death.

A bunch of hospitals and shelters also.

That tracks with what Professor Romero just told us.

Follow up on that list, okay?

We need to question anyone Adama spoke to.

Vale.

We need to set some parameters before we start.

We've never done that before.

We've never had a reason to.

Parameters are a red rag to a ball.

Maybe you'll just find a way around it.

Negative publicity gets to its foundation before we get this deal

be fine, Grace.

I know what I'm doing.

Okay.

Ready.

What you've achieved.

Your work in conflict zone.

It's remarkable.

It's a team effort.

Tarla was born out of your vision.

I spent years on the ground where all we could offer was an emergency response.

And the limitations of that, just being a doctor, it wasn't enough.

I needed to think in terms of continuity of care, disease prevention, and the

environmental impact of our work.

And your upcoming partnership with the Leland Bakshi Foundation, what are you

hoping will come from that?

Well, this new funding will allow us to make our model standard and expand it

into more conflict zones and refugee camps around the world.

Do you speak English?

Yeah.

Do you know this man?

He's been in a couple of times.

Did you ever speak to him?

Not really. He was more interested in the residents.

They said he was doing some kind of research.

We need the names of the residents he spoke with.

I don't think so.

We're going to need a court order for that.

We can't force him.

We take civil liberties very seriously here. Some people's more seriously than

others. We're not here to cause any problems for anyone.

We just want to know what Adama spoke to them about.

Can't you ask him?

He's dead.

Please.

We need those names.

I can ask.

If anyone is open to meeting you, I'll call. Okay.

Here is my card.

Gracias.

Could you run the image through facial recognition?

These are all mixed

clients that we identified. I thought we could go back through them, see if our

mystery man is here.

Forensics are using facial recognition to run the image against criminals in

database. I'm going to re -interview Simon Cairns, see if he can give us a

Might be better if you focused on working out where Nick hid that money.

Jumped up little shit.

Personal feelings aside, he's not wrong.

Even if we identify this man.

We need to be able to link him to the money.

We know Nick didn't funnel it through his accounts.

There must have been another way.

What am I missing?

Earlier on, we were discussing how this new funding would position Tarla as the

international standard in disaster response.

Raising its profile, but also putting you firmly in the spotlight.

It's not about me.

It's about the work.

The innocent victim.

Speaking of victims, I do have to address the elephant in the room.

Nick Heathlip, your brother -in -law, do you have concerns that you, your work,

will be impacted by the damage to his reputation?

That has nothing to do with Tarla. It's claimed that he defrauded vulnerable

people. I mean, do those allegations alone not shock you?

Of course.

But these allegations only came to light after an action by Cab led to Nick's

death.

Do you have concerns about how Cab handled the investigation?

There's a ghost.

And no one could ID him, not Cairns or any of Heathcliff's former staff.

We might have something here.

Some partial matches from facial recognition come in. They're not grey.

Most of them are 30 years old.

This one. I thought you were going to stay on the money.

I have been.

I couldn't see the wood from the trees. I needed to focus on something else.

Anthony Pierce, arrested June 1991.

Anthony Pierce, released from Mount Joy in 1994, three years into

an eight -year sentence.

There's nothing else here, no current address, nothing.

It's got to be listed somewhere.

A pull of social welfare and revenue files.

The parole board might be able to give us his last known address.

Parole board weren't much use.

This last known residence is an office block now.

Any luck?

No social welfare payments, no tax returns, no property, no cases.

Nothing since Pierce was released.

Mother deceased, father not listed on the birth cert. No siblings, so we can't

even find anything that way.

I'll get started on social media.

Already done. No digital footprint.

What else is there?

Death records?

No, I checked death records. There's no death records.

There's you banging on about how there's always a paper trail.

There is always a paper trail.

No matter how smart these guys think they are, something always puts them up.

A hospital bill, a parking ticket. You can't live in this country and hide your

PPS number.

You can't live in this country and hide your PPS number.

He doesn't live here. If Pierce flew in to meet Nick, then he came through an

airport. We just need to find out which one.

If I see the guy Nick was meeting as Anthony Pierce, and you won't believe

he's based.

Bilbao.

We got a hit from Dublin Airport. He flew in the day of the meeting from

flew back the next morning.

It can't be a coincidence.

the properties he holds in Spain.

He bought a pub six months after leaving prison, but now he owns businesses all

around Spain, bars, nightclubs, restaurants.

But the place in Bilbao is his main trading address.

Well done. Send me the details.

I want to follow up on this. It's my lead.

Well, let's think about this. We're here on the ground, so we'll follow up.

And I'll let you know what we find.

Anthony Anto Pierce was a getaway driver for a bank robber, Jerry McBride, in

the late 80s.

He was arrested in 1991, aged 21, for car theft.

But the guard wanted his boss.

They offered him a deal.

Roll him, McBride, and walk.

But he turned them down.

Pierce served three years and disappears, wanting to resurface and go

about McBride?

Is it possible he's still working for him?

There was an active Interpol red notice on McBride for years.

He resurfaced in Dubai, where he was gunned down after a meeting in 2003.

Theory is he was trying to set up an operation there.

The death didn't mean any of his money ended up back in Irish coppers, though.

They never found him.

He spent all that time on the run and never left anything behind except a

with his solicitor, making sure that in the event of his death, his body be

repatriated back to Dublin.

Well, if this is your guy, it looks like he made a fresh start.

Come a long way from Mount Joy.

Question is, how did he end up here?

Oh, I can't get my head around it.

Which I should know.

Mr. Pierce, the police wish to speak to you.

Tony Pierce.

Pleasure to meet you.

Official John Bedia.

And this is... D .S. Wallace and D .S. Prendergast. No criminal out.

Bureau.

I'm familiar with your work.

Have a seat.

It's been a while since I had to deal with the Irish police.

Drinks? Will it be coffee or tea or something a bit stronger?

Actually, we're grand.

Please, Miss Wallace.

Detective Sergeant Wallace.

Sure.

So, Detective Sergeant, what can I assist you with?

Do you know Nick Eastlip?

I did, yeah.

Terrible what happened.

How did you know him?

Gracias.

I've known the Bennett family for years.

Nick I met when he and Alice got married.

So they've been coming over here nearly every summer since Ollie was born.

Have you ever met them outside of Bilbao?

Roasted and blended the beans myself.

Sure you don't want to try one?

Mr. Pierce.

Tony, please.

You did stand tall.

Yeah, look, I made some stupid choices, but I've served me time.

It must have been hard coming out here with nothing.

No matter how much I toe the line, your lot will always see me as a criminal,

won't you?

But to answer your question, I met Nick in Dublin.

What for?

You said he had an investment opportunity for me.

Do you regularly fly to discuss investments?

Nick was a friend.

I went as a courtesy.

And did you invest money with him?

No, thank God.

Nick was a bit judgy of my past.

You know.

Something was wrong if he was asking me to invest.

I told him I don't do business with friends.

He didn't take it very well.

You never gave him a loan.

Helped him out as a mate.

You know, I wish he'd told me how bad it was.

I'm glad I didn't have any money tied up with him.

But maybe I could have gotten him some help.

I can get the kitchen to fix you something up, if you like.

Hate to think of you guys coming all this way for nothing.

Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Pierce.

But we have a lot of work to do.

Fair enough.

I'll show you what.

And if there's anything else I can help you with, just give me a call, yeah?

What do you think?

I think it's criminal, charging that much for a stick.

Dears Wallace, please give my deepest sympathies to Alice, won't you?

Of course.

This is bull.

Hey,

what's going on? Stop!

El sospechoso se ha escapado dirección este, hacia el parking.

Counts and companies we can connect to Heathlip didn't show up anything in the

27 million.

I'm thinking we're looking for something not directly connected to him.

Sir, I'd like to speak with Alice Heathlip. No one is to call Alice

In the course of an interview with Lydia Larkin, due to broadcast this evening,

Niamh Bennett was asked about her brother -in -law's misdeeds.

In response...

She accused Cab of persecuting her family.

But as Heathcliff's wife, Alice has to be considered a witness, if not a

potential suspect.

That's exactly what I told the Garda press office.

However, Larkin's producer was more interested in why Alice had, in Neve's

words, been interrogated by D .S. Wallace without her solicitor presence.

I then received a call from Alice's solicitor asking the same thing.

Until this is sorted.

No one is to approach Alice Heathlip.

Do you understand?

Sir, I understand this is a complicated situation.

But we need to ask Alice about Pierce.

Was what I just said in there not clear enough to you? It was, sir, and I agree.

Maybe Claire took the wrong approach. Too aggressive.

But Alice knows we have to question her. It's how Claire spoke to her that's the

problem.

We need to regain her trust.

And you feel this is time -sensitive?

Oh, I know Nick was paying someone.

And my money's on Pierce, and that's a lead we can follow.

And if it's not Pierce, well, then we need to eliminate him from our inquiries

as soon as possible. And the only person who can confirm if his story holds up

is Alice.

I'll speak with her solicitor.

But I cannot stress enough the importance of convincing her this is not

hunt. I will, sir.

Thank you.

Boylan.

You got a result this time of playing me against D .S. Wallace, questioning our

capabilities.

It's not a good look.

We set up a perimeter as soon as we got here, but no luck so far.

Forensics only found bloody marks, no fingerprints.

Did you get anything from the victim?

Well, he didn't see the attacker's face, but we did manage to stop him.

We are checking all hospitals and clinics nearby to see if our guy shows

Professor Romero?

She's inside.

She's sure that nothing was taken.

Forensics, I sleep in the hall inside of the building right now.

Can you check up on CCTV?

It's an update, don't you?

On it.

Wallace. Sir?

About time you called me with an update.

Sorry, sir.

The Adamathadu investigation is progressing.

We're to break in at the university.

I need you and Diaz Prendegas back in Dublin.

Sir? You went to Bilbao for one reason, to search that house and find evidence

of Heathlip's missing millions.

And when we did, we found a body.

And nothing else.

The murder is a matter for the Basque police. You can liaise with them from

if necessary.

What about Pierce?

What about him?

He admitted to the meeting.

Liam's confirming that with Alice Heathlip.

Hand over the case to official Batea and get back to Dublin.

Understood?

Right again.

How's the bus?

You got anything here?

What's more?

Is that the best image we have?

From these cameras, yeah.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

You too.

Now.

We only have one witness who's seen this person.

Rushing the girl to ID her family's killer could shut her down completely.

What else do we have?

Um, DNA from the blood sample. We haven't got a hit on any of the other

locations.

If this is the same killer, I don't think we will this time either.

Did you get anything else from the phone records?

They are working on triangulating Olat and Adama's movements around the time

they spoke.

Which will take time.

Claire, I know you are concerned about your case. They're all connected.

The girl has been through a lot.

But you know she won't be safe until we identify her family's killer.

I still think we need to take time. We need to build up her trust. We don't

time.

Our CBO has ordered us back to Dublin.

Okay. We do it your way.

Maybe we should call her in the night.

Right. See you tomorrow?

Claire?

We should discuss how we approach the interview with the girl.

That makes sense.

I'll stay.

Right.

See you in the morning.

Ciao.

Five years, intensives, emails.

And the only mention of family names or impartial messages.

Birthdays, anniversaries, school pick -ups.

Not a mention of a shell company or a trust, nothing.

You were on the right track, though.

It's impossible to transfer that amount of cash without leaving some kind of a

trail.

Unless... Commodities.

Like diamonds.

Our gold in Rathalcaime.

I

mean...

What were you thinking?

Please.

Huh?

I'm in the middle of securing a plan worth...

Millions. Fucking millions.

And you put it in jeopardy for a couple of grand.

Thank you.

You could have come to me.

Hmm?

Explain your little operation.

Giving me a chance to tell you what a fucking stupid idea it was.

I wouldn't have anything to do with it.

Oh, don't you worry.

I'll tell you exactly what you need to do.

Otherwise... Your son...

When I end up like this.

Claire, can we talk?

That sounds so fun, sweetheart.

Say goodbye to Mommy.

Okay.

You tell Daddy bye -bye for me, okay?

Wait, Claire, can we talk?

Can we? Look, I know things have been hard on you. I can call my mom, have her

pick up Alana today.

Take the pressure off.

I've already made arrangements with my mom, but I take it you're too busy, so

I'll just let you go.

Sorry, what were you saying?

Nothing.

I should have told you straight away about Dunlop's orders.

But you didn't.

I'll have to deal with the fallouts, then, with you.

At night, was it?

I'd paracetamol if you... Can we just focus on the girl, please?

CBD oil.

If this upsets you at any point, you let us know and we'll stop, okay?

Have you ever seen this man?

No.

It's okay.

You're doing great, Adora.

Can I show you one

more?

You're safe.

No.

My

solicitor

is delayed.

That's no problem. We can wait.

That won't work.

My son will be home soon.

And after what happened in Bilbao, you'd prefer I not be here when he gets home.

How my colleague handled that situation, I understand it was upsetting.

That's an understatement.

And I'd understand if you'd rather wait for your solicitor.

But I have one question, and then I'll be gone.

Okay.

Do you know this man?

That's Tony Pierce.

How do you know him?

From holidays.

We've known him for years.

Were you aware your husband met with Mr. Pierce in Dublin about three weeks ago?

So, Nick met a friend.

It didn't look very friendly.

Pierce claims Nick tried to persuade him to invest.

Pierce said he turned him down.

He felt Nick was desperate.

How much do you really know about Anthony Pierce?

I know he wouldn't lie about Nick.

Pierce has a past.

But he's never hidden.

You've accused me, Simon, now Tony.

Who's next?

Is everyone we know a suspect?

We have to ask these questions.

And you've got your answer.

If you think of anything else.

Jesus.

I didn't expect to see you here today.

I won't let a killer scare me.

Look.

I pulled out an alert on this aspect.

But we still need CCTV from streets around the university.

See if we can get a better image of him or ID his car.

Okay, I think we're able to triangulate the general area where Olaz met her last

phone call to Adama's burner.

We got a thing here near the tower.

That's an industrial area.

That's all pharmaceutical companies, car manufacturing.

Elveitia. Bye. Anistia Romero is asking for you. She said you need to see this.

Bring her up.

Go ahead. Open it.

Detectives are on the wall.

We helped Professor Romero.

Thank you for bringing Adama's envelope.

You said if we could get his research, that you could help us.

And where's the rest of it?

This is everything we have.

When I last spoke to Adama, he'd conducted over 200 interviews.

Maybe this is all he had on him.

Different dates, different hospitals.

But if this is what he thought Professor Romero should see, then this must be

the important stuff.

Adama would have been looking for a pattern.

He found a link.

That's what we need to look for.

Are you going with Alice?

She confirmed what Pierce told us.

She doesn't seem to have any idea what Nick was doing.

Oh, to never question where your money comes from.

Did you find something?

I think so, in Nick's email.

Olin, how was Dr Heathcliff?

I think I built her a four.

Good. She confirmed what Pierce told us. He's a family friend.

Well, the Pierce lady's dead now. Well, no, not necessarily. She didn't know

they met in Dublin.

And when I asked her, there was just something off in her reaction.

I think Pierce could be our guy, but Alice isn't ready to admit that Nick did

anything wrong yet.

We need to come at this from a different angle.

These are emails between Nick and a gold trader in Ras Al Khaimah from around

the time he liquidated his offshore company.

I believe Nick used the 27 million to buy gold.

And that's how he moved it.

And I'd like to follow up.

Well done, Boylan.

Solid work.

Well, I see it from the dry cleaners.

I spoke to the florist. They're going to put a little colour in the mix, like

you wanted.

Don't run yourself into the ground.

Did something else happen?

Did one of the neighbors say something?

The guards came by this morning.

Nick asked Tony for a loan.

Tony?

Jesus.

If he'd needed money that badly, why didn't he tell me?

You know what Nick was like.

He never wanted to worry you. Worry me?

He lied to me.

He asked our friends for money.

He brought a gun into the same house as Ollie.

Now he's gone, and I'm left picking up the pieces.

All the subjects of these questionnaires are from Central Africa.

So the point of origin must be significant.

You said that Adama was focused on the western Mediterranean route.

Yes, on migrants traveling through the Sahel to Morocco or Algeria by bus or

truck, then across the Mediterranean into southern Spain.

And from southern Spain to Bilbao? By truck, yeah. I found several mentions of

payments, all different amounts, but all around 7 ,000 euros, all via Hawala.

It's a money transfer system.

You hand in a code at a predetermined location and get cash in return.

So most likely payments to traffickers.

Could that have been the trend that he noticed?

IT were able to access the files from Adama's USB.

Look at those numbers.

They match the codes on the questionnaires.

Hepatitis, chemical rashes, MRSA infections.

So this was the trend he noted.

These migrants were getting sick.

But wouldn't the health authorities have picked up on this?

Not necessarily.

Even when they're eligible for health care, a lot of them are too afraid to

access it. And if they did get treated, the medics wouldn't be looking for a

part or missing something. This isn't enough to prompt Adama to contact Olatz.

This might be.

Adama kept a log of when everyone arrived in Bilbao and when they got

They were getting sick after they reached Bilbao. They were getting sick

they traveled.

Different diseases, but same departure point, same route, same transport.

Something on the trucks was making them sick.

The symbol.

Where did you find it?

Olat had it underlined in her notes.

Do you know what that is? I think it could be the symbol for medical waste.

Olaz made her last phone call here, an industrial area, right by this company

that processes medical waste.

Danny has.

That's what they found.

Someone was transporting migrants in trucks that contained medical waste.

Leaving already?

Well, I must say, I love what you've done with the place.

So, have you seen the good news?

You made a mistake. You made a mistake.

You told me the house would be empty.

This was your mess.

Yes.

And I'm cleaning it up.

You see, that girl,

she's your...

If she IDs you, that could lead to me.

I can't really have that.

Don't take care of her.

Remind yourself.
