Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,440
Hidden among the villas of Ibiza...
2
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,200
..lie the hubs of the drugs trade
on the island...
3
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,760
..where organised crime groups
have created powerful networks.
4
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,480
This way? Si. Thank you.
5
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,800
The elite drugs unit of the
national police, UDYCO,
6
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,640
work undercover to track
down the people at the top
7
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,120
of this multimillion pound
enterprise.
8
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,280
They've agreed to show me
how they busted one gang.
9
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,880
POLICE SHOUT
10
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,880
But it's the tip of the iceberg.
11
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,320
Just one gang among many...
12
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:41,560
POLICE OFFICER SHOUTS
13
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,120
..and more waiting
to take their place.
14
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,440
We need somewhere to put
the aerial artists. OK.
15
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,760
Ibiza is elevating.
16
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,280
ANNOUNCER: Welcome to Ibiza!
17
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,640
No longer just a party island,
18
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,600
but a playground for celebrities
and the super-rich...
19
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,200
Cheese!
20
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,160
..where everyone wants
a taste of luxury.
21
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,920
When you see more, you want more.
22
00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:13,200
I'm here to follow the money.
23
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,720
In a couple of days,
they can make over a million euros.
24
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,200
It's not as nice as mine
but it's still very nice.
25
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,720
HE LAUGHS
26
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,280
From the streets...
27
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,600
The police have found something
called pink cocaine.
28
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,160
CAR ENGINE REVS
29
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,640
..to the hilltop villas...
30
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,560
..where insiders know
the island's secrets.
31
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,480
This drug business
comes with violence.
32
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,320
If you don't want to be shot,
don't go to the war.
33
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,400
Going behind the scenes to
uncover how Ibiza really works...
34
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,880
You need to know somebody
that knows someone.
35
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,840
..and what's at stake for the Brits
who flock here.
36
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,640
Are you fearful that this could be
the future of Ibiza?
37
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:07,960
September.
38
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,560
Ibiza is hitting the next phase
of its party season.
39
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,360
The summer hordes have left,
40
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,600
and a new influx of thrill seekers
have landed, ready to get
41
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,760
their share of the party
and the elite Ibizan experience.
42
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,120
I'm heading up to the hills,
43
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,800
to the exclusive havens of VIPs
and celebrities
44
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,040
and in amongst them, criminals too.
45
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,200
I'm on the trail of the gangsters
who supply the drugs
46
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,600
that keep the party going.
47
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,440
I've heard there'd a bigshot lawyer
in town who's defended
48
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,520
some of the biggest drug kingpins
from all over the world.
49
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,800
So I'm about to meet a criminal
defence lawyer out here in Ibiza.
50
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,320
He's actually here on holiday,
but he has had to work.
51
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,000
His name is Ricardo Alvarez-Ossorio.
52
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,240
After much texting and calling,
he's finally agreed to meet me.
53
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,040
Hi, Zara. Hello. How are you?
Hi, nice to meet you.
54
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,960
How are you? Thank you so much for
coming to me. It's a pleasure.
55
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,520
Thank you.
I know you're a busy man.
56
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,240
More than I wish.
57
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:30,080
So you're a
criminal defence lawyer.
58
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,160
What sorts of cases
are you covering in Ibiza?
59
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,120
Mm-hm. So can you tell me a bit more
60
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,280
about the organised crime network
on the island?
61
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,720
So what are you doing in Ibiza?
62
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:47,240
The client is a
suspected British gangster.
63
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,960
He's well connected,
64
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,120
but still fighting for a space
in Ricardo's diary.
65
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,440
Ricardo's client, who's facing
drug trafficking charges,
66
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,400
is being held in Ibiza's only jail.
67
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,080
It's lunchtime in Ibiza Town,
68
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,280
where some of the best restaurants
around are getting ready
69
00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:01,440
to welcome their elite clientele.
70
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,240
Let's hope it's busy tonight.
71
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,920
It has to be busier than yesterday,
so...
72
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,920
At STK, Barley's found a new way to
tap into the money on the island...
73
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,080
I need those names
with that table of ten.
74
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,920
..by arranging upmarket brunches
for her guests.
75
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,960
Her mum's along to help.
76
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,000
We've got bottomless brunches
from 9, so we need to make sure
77
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,880
when everyone's sat down
we've got their orders.
78
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,640
Continuous flow of the cocktails,
champagne, sangria, for an hour.
79
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,800
Get the food orders in cos as
soon as it gets to 10 o'clock,
80
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,600
the kitchens won't serve
anything complimentary,
81
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,080
unless they want to order
afterwards,
82
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,560
so we need to get those done.
83
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,720
The VIP area in this restaurant has
a minimum spend of 150 euros.
84
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:48,200
It's money Barley and her friend
Angelica want to get closer to.
85
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,840
A friend asked, "Oh, can I help
them get a table?"
86
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,320
and there were 17 of them.
87
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,320
So it was 24 grand.
88
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,240
That's like some people's
annual wage,
89
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,240
and they're spending it
on not even a full day.
90
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,280
People always came here for it
being like a magical island
91
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,200
or the music, and it being quite
spiritual. Yeah.
92
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,120
That's gone. It's just VIP culture.
93
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,480
I know.
94
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,600
And then they wonder why
so many people take drugs
95
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,080
because no-one can afford
to get drunk. Exactly.
96
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,200
Yeah, exactly. I mean, yeah.
97
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,400
I know. Yeah, exactly.
98
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,560
No. It's the truth, the reality.
99
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,360
And it's everywhere. It's not like
you have to try very hard to get it.
100
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,480
Out here,
it's like temptation island.
101
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,440
You have to learn to say no,
otherwise you won't make it.
102
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,720
Like, the drug culture's huge
103
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:51,920
and I think people think they can
party, work, and still feel OK.
104
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,680
You can't go to the club till 6
in the morning, five days a week
105
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:57,320
back in Surrey.
106
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,680
But you can here
and it's socially acceptable.
107
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:01,120
I don't know why.
108
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,880
It's early afternoon
on "temptation island"...
109
00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:19,960
..and down on the strip, Faris,
the viral king of Ibiza,
110
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,040
is looking for new volunteers
for his content.
111
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,840
We're off to find Declan.
112
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,600
He's meeting up
with old friend Declan,
113
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,360
until recently an Ibizan resident,
114
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,400
working at one of the island's
best known bars.
115
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Why is it always me?
116
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,440
Stupid, stupid.
117
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,360
We're going to do it with the mic,
for TikTok.
118
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,360
All right. So Dec, what's happened,
mate? So get on this, Faris, lad.
119
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,640
Saturday night, I got a taxi.
120
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,440
Then about half an hour later
I thought,
121
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,440
"I feel like I've forgot something."
122
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,040
I've only gone and left me suitcase,
me passport,
123
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,120
all of my clothes, everything,
in the back of this cab.
124
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,120
So on your first day in Ibiza...
Yeah, yeah.
125
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,760
..you've left everything in the cab?
Yeah, I left everything.
126
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,200
These aren't even my clothes.
127
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,200
I was going to say, these definitely
aren't your clothes.
128
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,000
I've never seen him dressed so good,
know what I mean?
129
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,200
Well, you know what, Dec, it's not
the first time you've lost a bag,
130
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,640
is it? Jesus Christ. Terrible.
You can't say that, mate.
131
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,400
My body's a temple.
132
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,680
Right, listen, anyone out there,
if you've seen his passport,
133
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:19,160
he's left it in a cab.
134
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,680
Help me. Please help me.
135
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,720
I'm going to go now,
take 20 minutes to get there.
136
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,200
Right, let's go.
137
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,880
Consulado del Reino Unido, porfa.
138
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,640
Rapido.
139
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,640
HE LAUGHS
140
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,960
Drugs are a massive thing over here.
141
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,000
It's crazy because I really think
probably over 90% of the people
142
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,120
who come to the island
are drug taking.
143
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:56,000
But I am part of the 10%
who doesn't do any of that
144
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,440
and just sticks to drink.
145
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,600
HE LAUGHS
146
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,720
In a survey, more than
half of Brits coming to Ibiza said
147
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,640
they take drugs while they're here.
148
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,960
They can even be brought
to your door if you want.
149
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:15,760
How you doing? You good, yeah?
150
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,200
Message me later.
151
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,720
That's BLEEP.
152
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,720
He's famous on the island.
153
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,800
He's like a 24-hour delivery
service, one man band.
154
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,160
Any time, any place, anything,
155
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,400
he will literally deliver it
to your door.
156
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,600
I don't want to get him
in trouble here,
157
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,840
but when I say "anything",
I mean anything.
158
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,200
I knew coming to this island
that it's a party island,
159
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,600
and with party comes drugs.
160
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,680
But every day,
I'm seeing drug dealers
161
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:52,080
walking up and down the streets,
162
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,920
and it's so obvious,
you know, what they're doing.
163
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,800
Everybody knows but people
are scared to talk about it.
164
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,600
It feels like an open secret.
165
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:15,960
It's early morning
at the Port of Ibiza.
166
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,040
Here, more than 70 ferries
pass through every day,
167
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,480
delivering thousands of passengers
and cars onto the island.
168
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,280
I've finally got access to GAR -
169
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,760
the elite muscle men
of the Spanish Civil Guard.
170
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,120
Hi. Can I ask,
what are you searching for here?
171
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,880
GAR tackle organised crime and drug
trafficking across all of Spain.
172
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,160
Today, they're targeting the drugs'
entry points at the port
173
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,960
and the airport.
174
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,240
There's a real sense of urgency
with an operation like this,
175
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,080
because, you know, they only have
a very small window of time
176
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,920
when people and cars are
getting off the large boats.
177
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,160
And, you know, before you know it,
178
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,120
they've dissipated
through the island,
179
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:33,880
they've distributed
through the island.
180
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,280
So it's quick, it's quick.
181
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:38,920
They need to be fast.
182
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,000
Gracias.
183
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,840
The captain's told me that they use
the controls to intercept drugs
184
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,400
being used brought onto
and circulated around the island.
185
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,040
I don't think I've ever seen
anything like this before.
186
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,240
I mean, the Guardia Civil
have literally,
187
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,400
completely shut off one lane.
188
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,920
It was very quick,
they were all out the cars
189
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,240
putting the cones down,
they put spikes across the floor
190
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,680
so that there's no exit routes for
people if they want to try and avoid
191
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,920
the authorities and
avoid being searched.
192
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,000
There's literally
no way around this.
193
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,760
So what's the drone for?
194
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,800
Have you found something with a car?
195
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,360
They're not focusing so much
on retrieving a small quantity
196
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:19,560
of drugs from a car,
197
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,600
that's not really what
they're looking for here.
198
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,160
It's the much wider operations
and the organised crime,
199
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,960
the drug trafficking
in a bigger scale
200
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,360
that's going on across this island.
201
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,040
The elite squad found nothing
in this car,
202
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,920
but drugs are a multi,
multimillion pound industry.
203
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,680
Gangs will stop at nothing to keep
them flowing onto the island.
204
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,640
It's mid-September,
205
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,560
and the A-listers and super rich
are still arriving
206
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,360
in private jets at Ibiza Airport...
207
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,000
..keeping the VIP culture
constantly topped up.
208
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,840
There's so much space here
and so much storage. Mm-hm.
209
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,560
When they brighten it up,
it'll be really nice. Yeah, I agree.
210
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,080
Alice and her team have been
targeting this VIP crowd.
211
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,040
So overall, I think the villa's got
an amazing space,
212
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,200
the view's amazing and
it's a gated community as well,
213
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,480
so it's very safe here.
Secure, yeah.
214
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,720
However, the owner is asking around
100,000 per week for this
215
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:56,440
in peak season, and for that price
I think it has to be perfect.
216
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,000
Her concierge service
has been having a busy summer,
217
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,000
making the most of the network of
connections that makes Ibiza tick.
218
00:17:05,120 --> 00:17:07,240
For us to rent it to
our top clients,
219
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,040
I would say that we need
to modernise it. Yeah.
220
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,920
It seems a little dated
at the minute,
221
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,080
but it's got so much potential.
Yeah.
222
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,440
KNOCK ON DOOR
223
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,720
Hi. Hiya. How are you?
How are you, darling? How are you?
224
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,960
You? Nice to see you.
225
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,280
Alice's business partner
and Ibiza insider Tony Truman
226
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,880
owns no less than 22 businesses
on the island.
227
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,400
How's everyone getting on?
Yeah, really good.
228
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,600
Everyone's been working hard
all summer, you know.
229
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,600
I think everyone's ready for a
little bit of a break. Yep.
230
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,560
How many clients have we had this
year? Over 500 or something.
231
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,200
Wow, that's fantastic. Yeah.
232
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,400
Have there been any sort of issues
and complaints against us?
233
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:51,600
Which I'm sure there has been.
234
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,960
We've had one client
that wasn't happy with a villa,
235
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,640
but I think, do you know what it is?
236
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,200
The villas in Ibiza are expensive,
right?
237
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,000
Say in other places, they'd probably
get a much higher quality villa
238
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,560
for that amount of money.
Sure, sure.
239
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,840
And I think that can sometimes
be what the issue is.
240
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,840
It's double bubble out here,
for what you get. Yeah.
241
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,880
But that, it's just Ibiza really,
everything is more expensive here.
242
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,320
Incredibly so.
243
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,360
How are we doing financially
with the business?
244
00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:17,960
Have we got a handle on, overall,
the financial side of things?
245
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,040
Do you know what?
It's been absolutely amazing,
246
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,480
more than I could have imagined.
247
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,880
And percentage wise? What do you
think we're up on last year?
248
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,120
Over double last year.
Over double? Yeah, amazing. Wow.
249
00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:29,720
And the growth's been incredible.
Amazing.
250
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,200
So, well done, darling.
Thank you, honey.
251
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,480
All right, love you.
Have a good break, all right?
252
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:35,920
Thank you. Cheers, hon.
253
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:42,560
After months of servicing
the demands of the super-rich,
254
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,200
Alice has a chance to treat
her own team to a day out.
255
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,240
ALICE LAUGHS
256
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,960
No worries, did you get
the champagne?
257
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,240
Thank you.
258
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,560
Instead of providing luxury
for everyone else,
259
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,040
they're joining the
VIP party for the day.
260
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,160
Shall we put some music on?
261
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:07,880
Woo!

263
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,760
THEY CHEER
264
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,080
ALL: Cheers!
265

MUSIC: Still Sleepless
by DOD & Carla Monroe
266
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:20,960
# I've been
267
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,640
# Sitting 'round
thinking about you lately
268
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,160
# Having second thoughts... #
269
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:27,720
Right - three, two, one.
270
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,080
# And I can't sleep at night... #
271
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,280
THEY SCREAM
272
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,480
What a good day off work.
273
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,320
San Josep police station,
and the team's already busy.
274
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,200
This summer, the number of call-outs
are up on last year.
275
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,120
There have been reports of a fire
at one of the encampments
276
00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:13,040
that have sprung up around
the island's main towns.
277
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:28,000
Many of those who work in hotels or
villas can't afford Ibiza's rents.
278
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,000
The police seem sympathetic,
279
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,120
even a little angry.
280
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,760
When you spend some time
on this island,
281
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,400
you start to understand
the real cost of luxury.
282
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:03,560
This island is so incredible
in so many ways,
283
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,560
but the reality is,
it's not a holiday for everyone.
284
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,800
When I first arrived on this island,
285
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,480
it felt like it was
completely picture perfect,
286
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,040
but what I guess I'm starting
to realise is
287
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,240
that there's no such thing
as picture perfect,
288
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:24,120
and I'm starting to see what
really happens behind the curtain.
289
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,680
In among the designer shops
at the centre of Ibiza Town
290
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,480
is the island's courthouse,
291
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,160
where drugs crime takes up
much of everyone's time.
292
00:22:48,120 --> 00:22:50,560
Ricardo's British client
has been arrested
293
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,720
in connection with
trafficking cocaine.
294
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:56,960
Hola.
295
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,480
Ricardo's defending him
from extradition to the UK,
296
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,000
and hefty prison time.
297
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,360
Tonight, like every night
in Ibiza's club land,
298
00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:10,120
the party is in full flow.
299
00:24:10,120 --> 00:24:13,400
I've been on a few shifts with
the island's ambulance crews,
300
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,840
and I know that the vast majority
of their call-outs
301
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,880
are for drug-related incidents.
302
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:24,480
Chica, 22 anos, con una intoxicacion
por drogas en un hotel.
303
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,680
So basically,
they've got a 20-year-old girl
304
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,480
who has, who says
she's been drugged,
305
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,040
and is at a popular hotel
in the island.
306
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,520
That's literally all
the information we have.
307
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,240
AMBULANCE SIREN BLARES
308
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,520
The girl is OK, though she has
no idea what she's taken.
309
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:32,200
But every year, Jose and his team
encounter newly-formulated drugs
310
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,520
mixed and distributed on the island.
311
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,120
I got some interesting insight
from the paramedics here
312
00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:16,840
that there are so many new
recreational drugs being tested
313
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,960
on tourists coming here.
314
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,120
This is something that happens
quite a lot, you know,
315
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:23,720
people are taking
different cocktails of drugs,
316
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,560
and they are the guinea pigs
of the drug market.
317
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,480
And I've heard that Ibiza is called
"the drugs lab of Europe".
318
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,280
It's late September
and so far this year,
319
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,920
Ibiza's tourists have spent nearly
4 billion euros while staying here.
320
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,080
Servicing the super-rich
visiting this summer
321
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,080
has been Alice's full-time job.
322
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,600
Are you hungry?
Shall we have some food?
323
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,640
Would you like some treats?
324
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,880
They're both blind.
They're from the streets of Ibiza.
325
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,880
So Ibiza has so many stray cats.
326
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,440
These boys have travelled
everywhere with me.
327
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,920
Car, ferry,
328
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,120
planes, private jets.
329
00:27:16,120 --> 00:27:17,960
I can't go anywhere without them.
330
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,840
I think people expect
that I'm out every night,
331
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,200
I'm going from one party to another.
332
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,960
But I'll, like, pop to a party
now and again
333
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,160
and I'll go and see my clients,
334
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,000
and that's what I'll obviously
film and post,
335
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,520
so that's what it looks like
to the outside world,
336
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,000
but in reality this is where
I spend most of my summer.
337
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,160
I grew up in the north of England.
338
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,360
We didn't have much money at all,
339
00:27:41,360 --> 00:27:44,040
so it did kind of motivate me
that I had to work.
340
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,440
You know, I had a paper round
since I was 13, 14-years-old,
341
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:48,720
then I was waitressing.
342
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,840
I've constantly been working
through my whole life.
343
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,880
Now working for Ibiza's VIPs,
344
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,720
Alice is busy 24/7.
345
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,880
So, my average is 11 hours,
27 minutes screentime.
346
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:03,960
Is that a lot?
347
00:28:05,120 --> 00:28:08,840
On one day, when I was super busy,
my phone wouldn't stop going off.
348
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,760
So I went through and counted
how many people on WhatsApp
349
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,360
had messaged me,
and it was 300 individual people.
350
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:18,600
Bearing in mind that is just like
back and forward conversations,
351
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,120
but it was like
300 conversations at the same time.
352
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,440
One of the design team
has just asked,
353
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,720
"They're putting something together
for World Mental Health Day.
354
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,880
"I just wanted to ask you
what things do you do
355
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,280
"to help your mental health,
356
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,800
"especially during busy summers
and party season?"
357
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,800
Nothing.
358
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,800
SHE CHUCKLES
359
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,880
Erm, my cats.
360
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,440
Hi! Hi. How are you? I'm good.
361
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,920
How are you? Lovely to see you.
362
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,360
Shall we sit here? Yeah.
363
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,680
I'm in San An
to catch up with Barley.
364
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:02,080
Like Alice, she's been looking to
VIP culture to help pay her way.
365
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,440
Since I've been here,
366
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,920
I've seen how expensive it is to
live on this island.
367
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,320
Yeah, it's not cheap.
368
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,080
Have you made enough money this
summer to live the lifestyle
369
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,960
that you want to live?
I'm still here now
370
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,640
and I think that's a telling point.
371
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,520
There's so many people that I know,
they've come out in April,
372
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,640
they don't last till October.
373
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,440
Have you done any Only Fans this
summer? No, not this summer.
374
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,840
I might start it up
but I haven't felt the need to,
375
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,840
and I haven't really
wanted to do it.
376
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,840
I want to try and be able to like
be self-sufficient without it.
377
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,840
Do you think people come to Ibiza
378
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,320
because they think that it's going
to give them this lifestyle
379
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,960
and they're going to be able to make
lots of money and get rich quick?
380
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,240
I don't think it's a get rich quick,
381
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,560
I think it's,
"I can have a great lifestyle.
382
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,200
"Not work very hard."
383
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:56,480
If you're doing something illegal
and live a very luxurious lifestyle,
384
00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:01,320
they can do dodgy deals
and live like they're famous,
385
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,600
like a celebrity, and I think
that's what draws people here.
386
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,880
It's, "I can do what I want
for six months
387
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,640
"and no-one's going to question it,
388
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,520
"cos everyone else
is doing the same thing."
389
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,000
Is there a difference between the
image and the lifestyle of Ibiza
390
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,280
that Instagram sells
versus the reality?
391
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,480
100%. Like, you'll see on Instagram
an influencer,
392
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,200
I don't know, at Beso Beach,
looking amazing,
393
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:27,120
and actually she's going back to
share a six-bed with her friends,
394
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,800
and they're living above an
Irish bar in the West End.
395
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:30,960
Do you know what I mean?
396
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,200
Yeah, it's smoke and mirrors.
397
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,040
MUSIC: Thinking About You
by Calvin Harris
398
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,600
It's week 24 of the
summer season in Ibiza.
399
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,880
That's more than 3,000 parties
at the big clubs.
400
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,000
# You, you, you
401
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,920
# I'll be thinking about you
402
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,600
# I'll be thinking about you... #
403
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,680
Three, two, one.
404
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,200
Yes, people, we're here at Ibiza
Rocks for the Switch Disco party.
405
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,280
What's going to happen next?
Who knows? Let's go.
406
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,400
Faris is searching for content
at yet another event.
407
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,720
It's not just all glamour, you know?
408
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,400
Everyone just sees the nightlife,
the sports cars, the yachts,
409
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,760
they see the models, they see
the money, the fame, the fortunes,
410
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:21,000
but to be able to live in that
and make it real,
411
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,760
you can't just come here
and have a holiday
412
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,800
and spend your money and go home.
If you want it that badly,
413
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,480
if you love this kind of lifestyle
that much,
414
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,360
you have to put in the work.
415
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,000
Woo!
416
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,040
It's been amazing, probably
one of the best summers of my life,
417
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,240
if I'm honest.
418
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,160
Lots of work, lots of opportunities,
amazing experiences,
419
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,120
memories I'll keep with me for life.
420
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,560
Piggyback. Wahey!
421
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,640
And, you know, I don't want to be
in an office 9-to-5,
422
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:44,760
I don't want to be stuck in London,
423
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,240
I don't want to be
where the weather's shit.
424
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,080
I want to be, like,
with people that are having fun,
425
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,560
I want to be doing what I love.
426
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,440
So, I'm just going to keep doing
what I'm doing.
427
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,840
Things are looking up
for Faris's mate Declan.
428
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,480
He's got his passport,
though not his trousers.
429
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,720
So fucked last night.
430
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:13,720
Oh, my God! I've only got
two hours, actually,
431
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:14,760
two hours till the flight.
432
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,760
But I've not got a bag
to check in or anything.
433
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,200
6 o'clock tonight,
I'll be back working,
434
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,560
pulling pints in the White Lion.
435
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:24,960
Rock and roll, baby!
436
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,760
Declan's already booked
his next flight back to the island.
437
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,000
I think Ibiza's
just the perfect place
438
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,080
for people to come and set
themselves free and escape reality,
439
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,520
and just have a week of smashing it.
440
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,880
But it's so much more than
your Magalufs and your Zantes
441
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,800
and things like that.
It's just a special, special place.
442
00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:00,720
After two weeks away, defence lawyer
Ricardo is back on the island.
443
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,360
His British client's fight against
extradition is not looking good.
444
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:07,800
Hi, Ricardo!
445
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:10,960
I'm really good, thank you.
446
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,680
So, Ricardo,
what brings you back to Ibiza?
447
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,600
I'm interested in
Ricardo's perspective
448
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,000
on how the drugs economy works here.
449
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,000
Are the police doing enough
to tackle
450
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,560
the issue of drugs on this island?
451
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,480
But if drugs were more legalised
and controlled,
452
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,240
then you'd have no clients.
453
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:32,120
Mm-hm.
454
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,280
There's still no news
for Ricardo's British client
455
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,760
and his fight against extradition.
456
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,480
So, no doubt, Ricardo will be back
on the island soon enough.
457
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:18,320
I've seen the summer in Ibiza and
spent many shifts on the front line
458
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,800
with police and ambulance crews.
459
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,160
In this case,
we have positive cocaine.
460
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,920
In here, this area, many of them
think that they can do
461
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,800
whatever they want,
because they said that,
462
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,800
"Oh, we thought that we could take
drugs here, there's no problem."
463
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,880
I can see that dealing with
the nightly crowds,
464
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,560
the constant drink, drugs and
excess has taken a toll.
465
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:14,920
It can't be easy.
466
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,040
One of the most problems
in this moment
467
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,080
is the number of policemen,
of course.
468
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,760
The future is black.
469
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:30,000
It's black, because I think the next
years will be like this one,
470
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,960
and this one was very hard for us,
because we need more...
471
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,600
Need more people to work together.
472
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:55,120
Mid-October. It's one of the biggest
party weekends in Ibiza.
473
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,600
Thousands fly in just to enjoy
the last wild rave of the summer.
474
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,480
The end-of-season closing parties
are a last chance
475
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:07,800
to pull in the cash.
476
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,720
At O Beach,
preparations are under way.
477
00:37:14,720 --> 00:37:16,200
Hello, darling. How are you?
All right?
478
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,480
I'm good, thank you. All right?
Hope you're all having a nice day.
479
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:25,480
Tony Truman's expecting at least
a thousand guests through the doors.
480
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,800
Up by the bar,
one of the high tables,
481
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,560
just go and sit on one of them.
482
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,800
Yeah? All right, darling?
483
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,600
It's just crazy now.
484
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,320
Some people come for 24 hours,
stay in the same clothes,
485
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,200
party, party all night
and fly home the next day.
486
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:44,520
Cos it's O Beach closing today,
487
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,040
this is kind of the last party,
this weekend.
488
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,400
I'm with Alice. She's on her way
to celebrate with Tony,
489
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,880
having waved goodbye
to her last VIP client.
490
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,040
There was one of
the closing parties,
491
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,080
and it was completely sold out,
492
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,040
and we had a client offering 30,000
for the table.
493
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,480
GASPS: Wow!
And it was impossible.
494
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:11,400
We... It was completely, completely
sold out weeks in advance,
495
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,480
which was a shame, you know,
when they have the money to spend.
496
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:26,120
I'm very excited. I know, the
closing party's always super fun.
497
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,240
ANNOUNCER: Welcome to
O Beach, Ibiza!
498
00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:30,200
CHEERING
499
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,600
2023 has been a record year
for Ibiza,
500
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,480
with over 3 million tourists
flooding in,
501
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,760
spending more money
than ever before.
502
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,480
Thank you so much.
503
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,080
Cheers, babes.
504
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,640
Cheers. Sorry, I drank it before!
SHE LAUGHS
505
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,920
I've seen the winners and losers
on this island...
506
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:04,320
..and the hustlers
who circle the super-rich.
507
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,240
Hi, Faris!
508
00:39:06,240 --> 00:39:08,160
How are we?
I'm good! How are you?
509
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,880
I'm good. How have you been?
It's closing party.
510
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,160
Yeah, this is it. This is it.
This is the end now.
511
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:17,720
This is the last day
of the last week of summer 2023.
512
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,680
I mean, it sounds like this island
is just thriving.
513
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,840
It is. It's... I think it's got
its own little microclimate here,
514
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:32,960
hasn't it, really? But I think it's
really important that the island
515
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,960
doesn't come too far up its arse,
516
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:39,080
cos it is in great danger of
becoming too, too super exclusive.
517
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,240
But I think that's the love
of San Antonio.
518
00:39:42,240 --> 00:39:45,720
It mixes it all up, and that's what
puts a smile on my face.
519
00:39:45,720 --> 00:39:48,720
I like seeing people, whether
you're a binman or a billionaire,
520
00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:51,520
enjoying themselves
and having a good time.
521
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,120
But, you know, Ibiza as a brand
is what it's all about.
522
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,880
It's not about O Beach,
it's not about Hi, Ushuaia,
523
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,840
Paradise, Wi-Ki-Woo.
It's about Ibiza.
524
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,440
It's been an extraordinary summer.
525
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,840
I've seen this kind of darker layer
of the island
526
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,040
that I didn't really know
existed before.
527
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,040
But at the same time, I think that
people are always going to
528
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:37,600
want to come here, because Ibiza is
just the place to come.
529
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,800
It's the place to get
the best Instagram photos,
530
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:44,560
to look the coolest,
to go to all the clubs,
531
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,800
to rub shoulders with celebrities
and wealthy people.
532
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,080
People just want to be
on this island
533
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,440
because of the feeling
it gives them,
534
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,520
and people are willing to pay the
price, no matter what that price is.
535
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,320
I don't know if Ibiza is ever
going to, like,
536
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,280
lose its magic in that way.
537
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:08,640
It's incredible.
