Teddy is Richard Onslow Roper's son. He's continuing his business model and the River House are involved.

Adam Holywell is a middleman.

He connects dozens of UK companies with clients abroad,

often in the shadows.

Hamley Street. Holland Park.

The question is, who is he working for this time?

Mayra Cavendish believes you died in that hotel room explosion.

What do you need from me?

All of Rex's operational files.

You send them over.

Teddy will need cash flow. That's your way in.

What do you want?

You're going to convince him Matthew Ellis is the man he needs.

You want to get away clean? That's the price.

We need the shipment list that's in that briefcase to know

what we're dealing with.

Roxy tells me that you're looking for investment opportunities.

I can promise you a rich reward.

Who are you, Matthew?

I can make you clean.

Make me clean.

In the morning, I want you to phone Teddy.

Tell him I agree to his deal.

Say I have business meetings on the coast,

I'll sign the contract in Cartagena.

I need proof of that shipment.

And you're going to help me get it.

If I get you in, I'm done.

I walk away clean.

I'll tell you when you're done.

I don't even know your fucking name,

but let me make something clear.

You are not the one in control here.

Tell me about the Barquero offices.

They're near the port.

Very high security, extensive camera and alarm systems inside.

I have a pass to the main building,

but there's an annexe at the rear which they keep private.

It's pass coded.

Your briefcase will be in there.

Teddy.

- Buenos dias. - Welcome to Barquero.

- All good? - All good.

Nice.

Please.

How were your other meetings?

Oh, lots of Caribbean hot air.

Not much substance.

Don't worry. That's about to change. Please.

Our boy's entering the castle.

The Roper piggy bank will be required.

How much?

20 million, and I'm not talking pesos.

OK.

Transfer it to the Belize account.

I'll hold it there for a while to buy him some time.

- Hola. - Hola, como estas?

Bien.

Buenos dias.

Matthew. Pleasure.

This is Paloma.

She's the guardian of the castle.

And I warn you, don't mess with her.

Proof of identification, please, Mr Ellis.

- Of course. - Just a formality, Matthew.

That's all.

OK.

Come on in. Everyone's ready.

There are three copies of the documents.

Please read and sign on page six, nine and 12.

Take your time, Matthew.

There's no rush.

- A donation? - To my wonderful charity,

looking after young victims of Colombia's

many years of violence.

And the second document?

Is your share ownership in a brand-new company.

It will pay a handsome dividend in three months' time.

With a laundry ticket.

- For your records. - Thank you.

Good afternoon, Mr Ellis.

This is Gold Level customer liaison.

My name is Rebecca. How can I help you?

Yes, hello. Good afternoon, Rebecca.

I'm calling to authorise a transfer to an account

registered in the name of the Aurora Foundation

in Medellin, in Colombia.

It's a charitable donation.

Of course.

Security processes will take place now.

Please plug in the beneficiary account and IBAN number in question.

Yes, of course.

OK.

Thank you very much, Mr Ellis.

And how much would you like to send to the Aurora Foundation today?

20 million US dollars.

Of course.

Just to let you know, the money will be in the receiving account

within 12 hours.

This is due to additional data checks being instigated

according to new financial regulations here in Belize.

Understood. Thank you so much, Rebecca, thank you.

Thank you, Mr Ellis. Have a good day.

You too.

You didn't say there would be a delay.

I didn't know. I don't do this kind of thing every day.

HE CHUCKLES

Maybe you do.

It's OK.

It won't be a problem.

- No? - No, no.

It's a routine check.

Matthew and I trust each other, and that's what matters.

Verdad? You'll stay as our guest until the money enters our account.

Happily.

Roxana, take Matthew to his hotel and make sure he's comfortable.

OK?

No, trust me, you wouldn't.

You have the code to the annexe?

There are two cameras inside.

You have the serial numbers?

Mm-hm. I got the central hub.

You better be good for the money.

HE CHUCKLES

I'm good for the money.

Why are you involved in any of this?

Five million reasons.

We need to lose our friend.

And how do we do that?

I want immunity from prosecution and anonymity.

You were never here.

Viktor.

Come here.

Listen.

Look, in a while, I'm going to...

Excuse me, I asked you a question.

Here's a question for you.

What does the name Gilberto Hanson mean to you?

Nothing. Why?

HE SIGHS

CORK POPS

Because he's working with Teddy.

OK, well, I don't know him.

You've been working for this company for five years.

There's an awful lot you don't know.

OK, I know his name, but I never met him.

I don't dig where I'm not asked.

You're lying.

Fuck you.

I got you the codes. That was the deal.

- Codes gave me nothing. - Oh... - All I found was an empty briefcase.

It should have contained a shipment list detailing exactly what's

sitting in Cartagena port right now.

And I could have blown the whole thing wide open,

- so what did they do with the list? - I don't know.

- Just as you don't know Gilberto Hanson. - No, I don't!

You don't know who the weapons are for.

I told you, Teddy compartmentalises.

You don't know what the operation is or who's paying for it.

I have no fucking idea!

- You have any fucking idea why the Brits are involved? - No, I don't!

You're playing me just like you did in London to save your skin.

Get the fuck off me!

People died because of you!

- People I loved! - Don't fucking touch me.

Roxana has taken ours.

For the money.

Not just for the money.

OK, then, for what?

You should ask what happened to her father.

- What's this? - Air tickets to Paris.

When the money's through, you fly back.

Go and see your daughter.

Don't take it personally, but we don't want you here.

We're genetically dishonest.

JUAN LAUGHS

Right? He understands.

He gets it.

What do you mean by that?

Deception is in our DNA.

From the moment we're born, everything is lies.

As babies, we feign pain.

As children, we cry crocodile tears.

Later, we pretend to seek goodness or truth

but it's all for self-interest.

We're animals out for survival.

Hmm.

Take Roxana and me.

We walk along the beach together this afternoon.

We go back to the hotel.

We're arm in arm.

Now, don't take this the wrong way, you're gorgeous,

but you're not in love with me.

It's my money you want.

And I say I want you, but really,

I'm just using you for my own purposes.

We both know that.

This whole set-up.

I'm a fraud.

Lying about what I know to get what I want.

Soy estafador!

Hey! Keep your fucking voice down.

And what are you lying about?

Well, for example, I know you have a shipment sitting in the port

less than a mile from here.

Manifest looks above board, machine tools for pipelines.

But it's fake.

I've done deals with the MOD boys.

I know the scam.

Maybe someone's on to you and you need to deal with them,

threaten them, bribe them, whatever. Look, it's fine.

I'm papering over the cracks while this happens.

I've got no problem with that. OK?

I've made my donation to the young victims of Colombia's many

years of violence and my money's good.

You'll have your 20 million in a few hours,

but I'm not a fool.

I know what game I'm playing, and it isn't tennis.

This night is over.

Teddy! Where are you going? What did I say?

I just... I just told the truth.

Roxana, it's time to go.

Mr Ellis has an early flight.

Oh, come on! We're just getting started.

What fucking game are you playing at?

Like you said, it's none of your business.

- Can I get you a coffee or water? - No, I'm OK. Thanks, Mayra.

OK.

Sit down.

So, I've been looking at these files that you sent over.

There's not much there, is there?

Yes, I came to the same conclusion.

But we did find an email that Rex sent nine years ago

to someone called Andrew Birch.

It was deleted from the main cache, but my boys recovered it.

It mentions a Luxembourg bank account.

$300 million.

Did you hear of it?

News to me, but I never had Rex's ear beyond technical support.

Do you think you could get me access to the account?

I'm a bit concerned that Rex wasn't telling me everything.

Of course. I'll try on Monday.

Oh.

It's a bit more urgent than that.

- Could you do it now? - Right away, then.

- Can I keep that? - Of course.

OK.

Thanks, Mayra.

Let me explain something to you, Matthew.

It's still very possible for someone to disappear in my country.

So how did you find out what you told us tonight?

Hmm?

I'm not telling you anything.

BOAT CREAKS

Who the fuck are you, eh?! Who the fuck are you?!

All right! My name is Matthew Ellis!

I was the banker in Hong Kong who got in trouble.

I escaped with $25 million that are not my own.

Everything I told you is true except for one thing.

I didn't get thrown out of the army.

I was sent with military intelligence.

Basra and Fallujah, 2005 to 2008.

You're such a liar.

- That's not on your record! - No, it's not!

Why do you think that is? Huh?

- Tell me. - I know how to find things out about people.

I came to Medellin because I needed to clean my money.

I targeted you.

I knew you were in trouble.

But the money is real.

And it will be in the Aurora account in one hour.

I hope so.

Because that's the only way you come out of this alive.

BASIL: I've located the account.

300 million, untouched for nine years.

- What the hell was Rex playing at? - Show me.

Three minutes, my friend.

Come on, Basil.

Where is it?

Fuck!

I had one idea.

I could try a dummy transaction to a shadow ops account.

Tech has one in Belize off the peg.

20 million maybe?

If someone queries it, we could trace the query,

see where it leads us.

I want to consult on it.

Do nothing until I say.

OK.

Shit.

It's not there.

- What do you mean? - The money is not there!

OK, look, Teddy, there's been a mistake.

Where the fuck are you, Jonathan?

It's too late. It's just late. The money's going to go through.

- Let me call the bank. - You're so fucking full of shit!

- It's just late. It's just late. - You've lied from the moment

I met you, cabron!

No, no!

El cuerpo de Cristo.

I was about to kill you, Matthew.

CLEARS THROAT

Certainly felt that way.

Ay, Matthew. You have no idea who I really am, do you?

All my life, I fought for money like a dog.

Here, Mexico, Guatemala.

Blood feuds.

Always in the dirt.

How did you get into it?

How?

I think I was born into it.

My mother was Mexican.

Mexicana.

She came here, died young.

So I was raised by priests on a monastery.

Really religious.

I escaped as soon as I could.

Then, I went back to Mexico.

I got involved with the wrong people.

I'm in jail.

And your father? Where was he in all this?

My father was...

..was there as much as he could be.

Right.

He's not with us any more.

He died six years ago.

- I'm sorry. - Don't worry.

What was he like?

He was an Englishman, just like you.

Wow.

What the hell was he doing here?

The same that I'm doing.

And what's that?

You don't want to know, Matthew.

Believe me.

Try me.

I'm creating an army.

Soldiers for hire.

Soldiers? From where?

All over the country.

Poor.

Young.

Aurora.

Because orphans grow wild in Colombia.

Who's the army for?

No, Matthew.

That you don't get to know.

Take your phone back, stay here,

don't leave your room and I'll take you to the airport tomorrow.

Where are you going now?

I have a business meeting out of the city.

- Always business. - There's a problem I need to fix.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Adios, amigo.

Hi.

Gin and tonic and a double espresso, please.

OK.

It's nice to know you're alive.

So we don't have the list?

- Not yet. - What happened?

Teddy had some trust issues.

Thank you.

- Where's Alejandro? - He's at home. They're still watching him.

There's a car constantly outside his apartment.

OK, keep him calm.

Teddy won't do anything till he's got the go-ahead tonight.

He's flying to a secret location, a hilltop restaurant.

This is the chopper's ID.

We need to follow him there.

Gilberto Hanson will be at the meeting.

WHISPERING: I think he's behind the whole thing.

I doubt that.

My team sent me this.

Hanson was in a helicopter accident 17 years ago,

smuggling arms into remote areas.

His death was kept a secret.

SHE SIGHS

So why is Teddy calling Hanson on the phone?

Someone's watching us.

- What the hell are you doing here? - I have something for you.

Not here. Come on.

Let's go.

Are you alone?

I snuck out the villa, but there's a taxi waiting.

- I can't be long. - In here. Get in.

Show me.

- Where did you get this? - It's what you needed, right?

Yes.

I'm being flown out tomorrow, so you don't know me

and we never met. Is that clear?

Understood.

Good.

- Roxana. - What?

Why are you working with these people?

I already told you. It's for the money.

- For the money? - Yes.

- Because Juan said... - Juan knows nothing.

He told me to ask about your father.

My father died when I was six.

He was kidnapped for refusing to pay local guerrilla protection.

My mum and I expected to receive a ransom note,

but instead, we got a body delivered to our summer house in the country.

I watched them dump him at the gates.

That's why you left for America, huh?

Yes.

My mum still owns the house, even though we've never once been back.

SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

I'm sorry.

Well, I should go.

Yes, you should go.

I have a bad record...with people I get close to.

Me too.
