We can't chase the gold again, Sir.

We don't have the time, and it's
probably gone already.

This time, it's only about
the money. Right from the start.

You buy a time-share,

and one week a year, you come here
and you live like a king.

You are the only cowboy in town.

But that money will bring others.

I don't want to see you again.

The Times Rich List.

And there he is - John Palmer -
next to the Queen.

This is a national embarrassment.

You will ensure, the next time
that John Palmer

is in the newspapers, he'll be
appearing at the Old Bailey.

We have solid intelligence
that Charlie Miller

was on the Brink's-Mat job.

I heard you can clean money.

Did you now?

I gave you my money because
I believed you knew

what to do with it.

Then tell me, very clearly,

where every penny of my dough
is, right now.

This programme contains some
strong language

It is the time to talk honestly
about Tortola.

This island has become
a story of two halves.

There is great wealth.

Our finance industry,
liberated by my deregulation,

is free to attract investment
from around the world,

and free to build houses like this.

LAUGHTER

But for too many of our people,

life is a long way from this.

It is my job as Governor

to bring those two halves of
this island together.

Today, with thanks to our
generous host,

Mr Logan Campbell,

we launch a fundraising campaign
for a new school in Road Town.

It is an ambitious target,

but ambition is what is needed

if the children of this island
are to share

in the opportunities that have
brought so many of you

here to Tortola.

where the air is still

wearing boxing gloves

that shines for you

PHONE RINGS

Hello?
Logan.

It's Douglas.

Doug... Douglas Baxter.

Dougie, how did you get
this number?

Oh, you gave me a brochure,
at the reunion.

I'm a little busy right now,
Dougie.

Er...

It's a business call, Logan.

An opportunity.

Things are going pretty well
my end, too.

So much so, I think we can finally
do something

really big together, just like
we always dreamed of.

Did we?
Let me give you some figures

that will blow your
bloody socks off.

Dougie, I'm, er, going to call
you back.

Well, I wouldn't...
I wouldn't dilly-dally, Logan,

this is a situation of
no little urgency.

LINE DISCONNECTS

Hmm.

We have two jobs -

find Charlie Miller and the money
from his half of the gold,

and get enough on John Palmer
to bring him down.

We're on Miller's money, Sir.

He has the contacts to
fence the gold,

but he'll need help to launder
the proceeds.

So we went through his files
and we picked out

all of his criminal associates

who at least pretend not
to be criminals.

The ones with businesses.

And we ran those business names
through Companies House,

and every one of them was registered
on the Isle of Man.

Which means Miller's criminal
associates have someone

on the Isle of Man laundering
their money.

Which means, right about now,

we reckon Miller will be
knocking on their door.

The Isle of Man is a self-governing
Crown Dependency.

We have no authority there.

I picked up a suspect on
the Isle of Man once.

I stuck a blindfold on him,

whipped him back in a speedboat
in the middle of the night.

How have you still got a job?

I'm as surprised as you are.

The Isle of Man also shelters vast
amounts of offshore money.

It's not a place that
welcomes scrutiny.

We won't even leave footprints, Sir.

Make sure you don't.

Lundy, Miller. Yes.

Give me a week.

The intelligence points to Spain.

I've heard he's
on the Costa Blanca, Sir,

along with half the crooks
from South London.

It's just about finding
the chatty ones.

I've requested Bowman back
from Flying Squad.

He'll co-ordinate things here while
we're all on our travels.

Where are you off to, then, Sir?

I've spent a long time on
Brink's-Mat, Jennings,

and working with you two has made
it feel even longer.

I've booked a holiday.

Nice flight?

This wasn't the arrangement.

I'll buy a safe.

I could buy a safe!

I was led to believe you could
offer a little more than that.

I can offer a lot more than that.

I can clean every penny.

Why's it sitting on a fucking table?

What were you doing, Mr Miller,
when you were eight years old?

A bit of light pickpocketing,
then home for jellied eels

and a knees-up round the old Joanna?

When I was eight years old,

I was accepted into Mensa.

I would later resign,

after an unsavoury incident
at the AGM,

but the point is, I am highly
intelligent.

And certainly intelligent
enough to consider

the combination of South London,
Hatton Garden

and a great deal of money
seeking safe harbour

and conclude that I have
become involved

in a rather infamous criminal
endeavour.

Or half of it, anyway.

You don't have to concern
yourself with that.

Oh, but I do.

You see,
if this is the partial proceeds

of the Brink's-Mat robbery -

and let us agree without rigmarole
that it is -

then the level of discretion
required is substantial.

What's the plan?

I've registered the first batch
of companies,

and funds will be deposited shortly.

But we must move at a pace unlikely
to attract attention.

I thought the Isle of Man didn't pay
these things much attention.

Less than the mainland, certainly,

but on the spectrum of tax havens,
we are at the conservative end.

And what happened to that world
of international finance

you talked about?

I tried.

What do you mean, you tried?

I...

They'll only get me off this island
if I'm in handcuffs or in a box.

So why you're leaving us
voluntarily, love,

is beyond me.

Then again, I come from
the rough end of England,

so maybe France is a bit prettier.

Mm.

Good luck to you, Lena,

and thanks for all your graft.

Thank you, John.

Hey, Shirl, give them whatever's
in petty cash.

Let them see her off in style.

Thank you.
LAUGHTER

Oh, I'll miss you, too.

Oh, take care.

Senor Palmer, I heard about
the British newspaper.

How rich it says you are.

I'm not giving you a raise, son,
but I appreciate the effort.

No.

You do not have the money they say.
Not yet.

But you could.

Oh, yeah?

I know the accounts better
than anyone -

better than Shirley - which is
lucky for you.

What's your game, then?

The business is successful, but...

..it is not honest.

You pay bribes and take more
deposits

than you have time-shares to sell.

But th-that is not interesting
to me.

What is interesting to me
is that...

..I think you are a clever man
who is pretending not to be.

The way that you use Shirley and
hide the truth from her,

hide the fact that you are
laundering money.

But there are better ways to
launder money than that.

And I can show you them.

What did he do?

He pitched me some bloody tax dodge.

You see, John,
this is what happens.

I know.

If you don't play it by the book,
why would anyone else?

You're right, Shirl.
Mm-hm.

From now on, this place runs
completely legit.

Check his bloody pockets, too.

HE SCOFFS

Governor, this is Gabriella Lunez.

Hi.
Nice to meet you.

From the DEA.

How long are you visiting?

It's a permanent posting.

I'll be working at the consulate.

I don't remember being
consulted on that.

Well, we don't have to consult you,
but I'm here to say hi.

I'm just surprised it's merited.

We are a small island.

We have an epidemic of
South American cocaine

in Florida, with a lot of
the proceeds

being laundered in the Caribbean,

through small islands like this.

Not this one.

Then I won't be here long.

Let us give you an office here,
and some support staff...

I'm all set at the consulate,
thanks.

Then enjoy your time on Tortola.

It is a special place.

So I've heard.

So, do the Colombians still
use the...

ERRICO WHISTLES
..whirlybird for their drops?

I wouldn't know anything about that.

Man, that would be easier.

But my people
like the personal touch.

I tell you, Florida to here
on a speedboat

is not great on the back.

Still, this is helping.

You can leave me to count it.

I'll let you know if there's
a problem.

What happens to it now?

Er, well, this money that your
associates made

in the construction industry
in Florida

will be legally banked in a number
of countries around the world.

Hmm.

You're very careful, Campbell.

That's why I'm a bagman,
and that's why you're...

..well, whatever it is you are.

Enjoy your time on the island.

MACHINE BEEPS
I always do.

Ah, good morning, JP.
Beautiful day.

What happened to "Mr Palmer"?

Oh, I am sorry, Mr Palmer.

I'm only joking, son.

What's the DEA's authority here?

That depends.

If she sees evidence of a crime
punishable in the States,

she can pursue it.

So I would hope that there
is nothing to see.

There's nothing to see.

Glad to hear it.

This is not the time to
attract attention.

It doesn't look like much.

Well, this is the address
in the brochure.

Let me do the talking.

KNOCKING

And that's when Mr Baxter told me
about you, and this island,

and what you and this island could
do for me and my money.

What a curious decision that was.

It's an opportunity, Logan.

As always, Douglas, what you deem
an opportunity

falls well below my standards.

In this case, I think we may find
a temporary alignment.

I heard you got banged up.

A business deal gone wrong.

I heard you got caught doing coke
in a Wimpey.

It was a Berni Inn.
Is that better?

What a lot of people don't
appreciate is that

Berni Inns are technically
restaurants.

I think we're straying from the
point a bit here, gentlemen. Ah...

He's struck off, you're a crook,

and I run a respectable business.

That's very much the point.

What I am, Mr Campbell,

is an international businessman with
an eye for an opportunity -

and £10 million
looking for somewhere to go.

CAMPBELL LAUGHS

I'm afraid I'm running
at full capacity

with my corporate clients.

And I'd very much like to be one
of your corporate clients.

Life doesn't work like that.

Life can work any way you
want it to.

Boarding school.

Grammar school.

Borstal.

Life is pre-destined, gentlemen,
and I have work to do.

Then I'll see you tomorrow.

And the day after that.

And the day after that.

Then I hope you enjoy the sunshine.

If you were local police,

you'd have a nicer office.

If you were here officially,

then you wouldn't be alone.

You're from the mainland?

Madrid.

We are National Police looking
into corruption on Tenerife,

which means we are looking
into Mr Palmer,

which means it is nice to meet you,
Mr Boyce.

You failed to convict him once.
Are you here to try again?

Yes.

We need intelligence from inside
his business,

and his senior team are all English.

We can't get near him.

Then you keep watching,
I'll get near him.

And I know where to find you
when I do.

So, what do you think?

I think that there are no windows.

Well, the thing about windows is
that you can see through them.

Not so good for keeping secrets.

Secrets like this, Senor Palmer,
they are expensive.

What do you want?

I want the people of Tenerife
to stop cleaning hotels,

washing plates in restaurants
and serving drinks in bars.

I want them to own the hotels,
and the restaurants,

and the bars.

You know, this island,
it makes everybody rich,

apart from us.

Maybe this room is where
that changes.

How much?

Ten million pesetas.
Five million.

Yes, five million now,
and five million when it's done.

How would it work?

Well, I give you a set of, er...

How do you say?

Dummy accounts to give to Shirley,

with all the details that she wants.

But here, I create another set.

I will build you a machine,
Senor Palmer,

through which you can put as much
dirty money as you can find,

and it will come out clean.

It will be easy.

You know, son,

what I've found is that...
PHONE RINGS

..when people think something's
going to be easy...

RINGING CONTINUES

..they can't believe how hard
it can get.

Hello?

Mr Palmer, there are some
Russians here to see you.

Some what?

We would like to buy your
businesses, Mr Palmer.

HE CHUCKLES

I'm sure you would, but they're
not for sale.

We would pay a fair price.

Listen, mate,

I've spent a long time building
what I've got here.

I'm a long way from finished.

Things are different now.

How's that, then?

We are here.

Well, then,

I'm sorry you've come all this
way for nothing.

Tomorrow, the price will be lower.

You shouldn't have let them in.

I think they're KGB.

Yeah, well...

..doesn't matter who you are before
you come to this island.

It's who you are here that matters.

And if you can't do your job...

..then I'll find someone else
who can.

Are you OK?

Just tired.

Must be exhausting,
sitting behind your desk... Mm!

..moving money around the world.

You know, it's harder
than you think.

And some of the money
stays right here.

I wanted to talk to you about that.

About the school.

It's going to take years
to raise the funds.

That's another generation of kids
sitting in huts.

So...why don't you pay for it?

The whole thing?
Well, at least enough

to get construction started.

Jesus Christ, where does it end?

What? Donations, sponsorships,
campaign contributions.

I've done a lot for this island.

This island has done a lot for you.

Hosting Lauretta's endless
bloody fundraisers.

You and Lauretta are
a two-way street.

What does that mean? I mean,
having the Governor in your corner

helps bring in the corporate clients
that buys you all this.

Us.

My clients buy us all this.

None of this is mine, Logan.

You know that.

Aren't you a lawyer?

Charity should involve sacrifice.

Otherwise, it is something else.

Please excuse me, I have a meeting.

Campbell! This is an honour.

I need you to do me a favour.

In my world...

..favours don't come for free.

I know.

I must say, I find the people of
Tortola absolutely entrancing.

You have the most wonderful
joie de vivre.

It's refreshing, frankly.

You've no idea of the inherent
misery of the English.

I don't know if either of you
have ever been

to the Isle of Man, for example,

a place which almost seems to revel
in its bleakness

with a sort of Dickensian
devotion to despair.

A gift from Campbell.

A farewell gift.

Or?

Or...

..we have another type
of conversation.

With less talking.

You know, son, I don't drink
with villains anymore.

But for you, I'll make an exception.

Because I've spent a lot
of time alone,

and a lot of time with that twat,

and neither are much fun.

You're interesting.

Because you're a villain
who knows Campbell,

and you're a villain who
hasn't been caught.

How do you know I haven't
been caught?

That cigarette was only half done.

It don't matter if you're
as rich as they come -

if you've done time,

you don't ever treat tobacco
like that.

So let's drink Mr Campbell's beer,

you tell me what you've not
been caught for,

and let's see if we haven't got
more in common than we think.

Do you read the newspapers,
Mr Palmer?

Not really.

In the newspapers, they say things
are happening in my country.

What they don't know is that those
things have already happened.

The Cold War is over.

Wasn't something I paid much
attention to, to be fair.

Well, now you should.

The Soviet Union will collapse.

And for those who are quick,
there are opportunities.

I thought you lot were,
er, dirt-poor?

No offence, like.

Ah, the people are poor because
the state is rich.

And the state cannot give that money
to the people

or they will know we had it
all along.

So the money must find...
an escape.

So who are you, then,
in all of that?

I am a scout,

looking for somewhere for a lot
of money to go.

Well, I know a little
about that.

I know.

Because I do read the newspapers,

about Brink's-Mat,

about Goldfinger.

I need your business, Mr Palmer.

It is the biggest on the island.

The best place for our money
to hide.

You're wrong.

You don't need my business.

And buying it would give you
attention you don't need.

Give me your money.

I'll clean it, take a fair cut
and give it back.

And the newspapers can write
about me all day long.

They won't ever know about you.

You're going to clean my money,
then give it to him,

starting with 1.5 million.

I'll pay back double
in a couple of weeks.

Take a cut for yourself,
and your pal here,

send the profits somewhere safe.

Then we go again.

You see, I'm still learning
about money,

but what I do know is money like
this should be put to work.

That's what this is.

An investment strategy.

Investment strategy
is a rather grandiose term

for running drugs into Florida.

Tell me something, Campbell.

All that money I bring you,

that the Colombians bring to you,

where do you think it comes from?

Construction.
LAUGHTER

Does a lot of construction money
fall out of the sky?

No, no, no. You see,
there's a system...

..about how much I know.

And this is not the system.

I don't want to be a bagman anymore.

Are you part of this, er,
insanity, Douglas?

The returns are hard to ignore,
Logan.

They are hard to ignore.

That's that, then.

It was a good meeting.

Huh.

Oh, er...

..thanks for the intro.

Do you ever hear from Sarah?

The old gang?

I live here so that I don't have
to see the old gang.

Do you know what I think about,
Logan, when I think of you?

The Roller.

You fly over for the reunion,

then it's, what, two hours from
Heathrow to Cambridge?

And you hire a Roller -

a '72 Silver Shadow, no less -

for a two-hour drive.

But it wasn't about the journey,
was it?

It was about the arrival.

Nice Rolex.
DOUGLAS LAUGHS

Oh, I'm a scholarship kid
with rejection issues

and lifestyle choices that have
crippled my self-confidence.

I need as much armour
as I can afford.

But you?
The golden boy of Cambridge?

Why did you need the Roller, Logan?

Good luck, Dougie.

Good luck, Logan.

He wants to start with
a million dollars a week,

then he'll double it when he sees
it's working.

HE SCOFFS

We are not ready.

This is the whole point, isn't it,
of this machine you're building?

Only if we are in control
of the machine.

I'm in control.

You know, Senor Palmer,

Tenerife has always been conquered.

The Arabs, the Africans,
the Europeans.

And then they all thought that the
island was theirs forever.

Then someone else came along
and took it from them.

An island is easy to conquer...

..and hard to defend.

You'd be surprised where
I've come from

to get what's mine.

And you'd be surprised what
I'd do to hold on to it.

Anyway, I've got a plane waiting.

You've got work to do.

Uh...

Where are you going, Senor Palmer?

To hold on to what's mine.

Good afternoon. I'm dropping off
a time-share deposit

to your accounts department.

I can take that for you, sir.
HE SCOFFS

This is my life savings.

I-I'd like to deliver it myself.

If you could just give me a name
for someone in accounts

and point me in the right direction?

Can I help you?

No, thanks. I've got what I need.

I was thinking about the school,

and how you should name it
after your mother.

Mothers, they're...they're
important.

They should be remembered.

You'll pay for the school?

I'll pay for the school.

Why?

The money that passes
through this island

should do some good along the way.

Every time I think
I know you a little more,

I realise that
I know you a little less.

You know me better than anyone.

I don't think that's saying much.

I remember the first time that
I met you,

with Lauretta.

I couldn't stop looking at you.

Really?

I can't say I noticed you.

Ah, yet here you are.

For now. Now's good.

HE SIGHS

Right.

PHONE RINGS

Task Force.

Hello, Bowman. I thought you'd be in
the pub by now,

with the Guvnor away.

What do you want, Lundy?

Go to the Coach and Horses
in Greek Street in half an hour.

A bloke will give you
something for me.

Call me when you've got it,

and don't tell Boyce.

What a joke!

A cooked breakfast needs to follow
some basic rules, Nic,

or the whole thing collapses.

I can't hear this again.
Look, a tattie scone

should be served in addition to
a black pudding.

The idea that it's some sort of
replacement is frankly illogical.

Tone!

Two rooms...booked by the
Met Police.

If it's a honeymoon,
it isn't very romantic.

It ain't an honeymoon,
I can tell you that for free.

Seconded.

Then, what are you doing here?

We're not making any arrests, we're
not interviewing under caution,

so you can't stop us.
This is a small island.

And the people that live here
make it even smaller.

I've had three phone calls to say
that you're here,

and two about the scene you
caused at breakfast.

It wasn't a scene.

We're not telling you what we're
doing

just so you can get on your phone
and tell whoever you answer to

round here.

You know, I worked the beat in
Glasgow for 20 years.

Took this job for the quiet life.

Turns out I hate the quiet life.

I'm three ranks above you,
I'm bored out my skull,

and I answer to the fucking Queen.

So tell me why you're here.

We're on the Brink's-Mat Task Force.

Christ, is that still going? Mm.

We think some of the money's
being laundered here.

And we're here to ask some
questions.

There are around 100 financial
advisers on the Isle of Man.

And outside every office is a board
where they are required to

post the names of the companies
registered through their office.

Look at the size of the offices,
look at the size of the boards...

..and that's the Isle of Man
all over.

What's this?
You're now temporary

Special Constables of the
Isle of Man police force.

Which means? Fuck all.

But it'll stop them phoning me.

PHONE RINGS
That's for me.

HE CLEARS TROAT

Lundy.

Don't do that again.

Er, you know, Sir,

usually a South London villain
with a...

with a few quid in his pocket,
he comes over here,

he spends his time

falling out of pubs and shooting
his mouth off, but...

..Miller's as careful as they come.

I've been here a week
and I've got nothing.

I needed some help to
narrow things down.

Help from whom?
LUNDY CHUCKLES

Oh, I don't think you want to
know that, sir.

Lundy, do you understand the basic
concept of a chain of command?

I know a bloke
in the telephone business

who doesn't have
much time for villains,

but he does have a list of all
the phone calls

made in the last month from the
Isle of Man to the Costa Blanca,

which I need Bowman
to fax to my hotel

so I can start knocking on doors.

It's a bad line, Lundy.

I'm afraid I didn't catch
any of that.

Thank you, Sir.

DOORBELL RINGS

THEY LAUGH

You're going to have to tell me
where we're going soon.

No. We're getting lower.

I told you, it's a surprise.

Two more?

Absolutely.
You and your bloody surprises.

I didn't know what to wear.

Yeah, well,
you scrubbed up not too bad.

This is going right to my head.

How about this, then, eh?

You know this thing can, er,
get us to the Bahamas for Christmas?

We have Christmas at home, John.

I'm just saying.

You know, who would have thought
we'd ever have our own plane...

..be able to go anywhere we want...

..be anyone we want?

I don't want to be anyone else,
John.

You know, I just want us
to have a nice life.

And a safe life...

..together.

Oh, yeah? Mm.

And if that nice, safe life comes
with champagne at 30,000ft?

Yeah, well, I can live with that!

Well, that's good, lucky,

because this is just the
start of it.

Where are we going, John?

We're going somewhere good.

Somewhere better.

I thought it would be better-hidden,

what types like this do with money.

But it's not, it's bold as brass.

It's legal, Nic.

Otherwise they'd have to
answer our questions.

Yeah, well, someone on this island
knows where Miller is,

and where his money is, and I ain't
leaving until we find them.

We'll find them
when Miller makes a mistake.

And he will.

Before this, all Miller did was
bounce between

South London and the Scrubs.

This isn't his world, no matter
how much he wants it to be.

Sooner or later, he'll come unstuck.

I just hope it's sooner.

I don't know how much more
of this place I can take.

That's it, Tone.

What is?

It's South London.

It's always bloody South London.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Wow!

Oh!

I can't believe you remembered!

1972 Olympics.

Some bird with red hair got
a perfect round

and I said,
"She must have put in the graft,"

and you said it was the, er,
the horse that won it.

Some, erm...

It was a French type.

"Best in the world," you said.

Selle Francais. Ah.

And I sat in our
shitty little flat...

SHE CHUCKLES

..and I told you, one day,
I'd buy you one.

What, they'll not sell you one?

No. They train them together,
the French.

Yeah. They're a family,
and you don't split up a family.

Yeah, you're right.

Which is why I bought
all bloody six of them.

You didn't!

They'll train them here,
and then they'll send them

to any tournament, or whatever you
call it, anywhere in the world.

And you can take the plane
and you can come see them

when you want.
I'll drop in when I can.

I'll be flying right over.

Ah!

I can't believe this!

You deserve it.

With everything you do,
and everything I don't.

Madame.

Would you like to ride?

Can I? Of course.

Oui. They're yours.

You have fun, love.

And take your time.

I'm going to, er,
have a little wander about.

You're a good man, John.

Ain't you supposed to be
a detective?

You're milking it, pal.
Just tell me.

Silwood, Hawkstone,
Silverlock, St Mary's.

They're all South London
council estates.

That's Miller's money,
and this bloke has it.

And he ain't at work.
It's a small island.

There can't be many
Douglas Baxters in the phone book.

Come on, then, mate.

Let me get you a proper drink.

We've got all the British beers
if you want a taste of home.

Oh, just...just another lemonade,
please.

Dear, oh, dear.

I won't be getting rich
off the likes of you, will I?

HE EXHALES, KNOCKS

Come in, John.

Thanks for seeing me.

You left Tenerife
a little quick, Lena.

I didn't get to say some things.

John... Look...

..it was my fault.

Things got...

Things got out of hand.

Too much partying.

And I should know better.

I'm older, I'm the boss.

That's not true.

And that is not what it was.

It was more than just that.

It's cruel to tell me that it
was just that.

You're right.

You're right, I'm sorry.

It was more than that.

And, look...

anything you need, any time...

..I'll sort you out.

There's no limit on that.

But what happened,
can't happen again.

It's not right.

It was, er...

I don't know.

That island...

it does things to you.

Well, it does things to me, anyway.

I'm pregnant.

And I'm a Catholic.

So I'm pregnant.

PHONE RINGS

Well?

She's got a record, sir.

Glad to hear it.

It took a bit of digging, but
I think you'll like what I found.

Go on, then.

No!

Oh, behave!

Nic,

we are recently sworn-in
Special Constables

of the Isle of Man police force,

which is a situation we should treat
with the utmost respec...

Oh, for fuck's sake!

Hurry up.

If he's got Miller's money,
then he's hiding it well.

Not that well.

Good evening.

No, thanks, love.

You're on holiday.

Bit of sun, bit of booze,

and now you're looking
for a bit of the other.

No, thanks.

There is something about islands,
is there not?

Yeah, there is.

They feel safe.

Remote.

Forgotten, hidden.

A place where
consequences do not apply

to what we do now,
and to what we did before.

The period between being
convicted of a crime

and being sentenced for that crime
is a difficult place to be.

If you're held on remand,
it's simple enough,

but if you're out on bail,
then that's more complicated.

Do you stay and take
your punishment, or do you run?

Those that run

make the wrong calculation.

They look at what they're facing -
a year, two years,

three in your case -

and they think, "I can't do three
years, I don't have it in me.

"I'm just an accountant from
Lewisham

"who embezzled a bit of money."

So they run.

They find an escape.

An island.

But, over time,
they realise their mistake.

They've swapped three years
for a life sentence.

And they're trapped.

And whatever that island turns
them into,

and whatever that island makes them
do to survive,

that's who they have to be.

Forever.

You ain't on holiday.

No.

And neither are you.

You're just another lost soul
hiding on an island,

looking for refuge.

And, instead, you found me.

And?

Who are you, then?

You know who I am,

you know who I want,
and you know it's not you.

So, now there is just me,
you and John Palmer

on an island.

And there is something
about islands.
