Fishing boats? I doubt it.

Probably smugglers.

Let's take a closer look.

They're separating.

Which one should we follow? The one heading towards land.

How are you feeling?

Fine.

Did you want something?

I've been waiting to speak to you.

Your blood test came back.

And your drink was spiked.

SHE EXHALES

They're ready to charge him.

I thought you'd want to know.

I'm so sorry, Dad. No.

Sweetheart, don't be stupid.

I should have said something.

About what?

I knew he was dealing.

I wanted to talk to you. I... I spoke to Luca.

Why didn't you tell me? What?

Angelica. What? Why didn't you tell me?

Stop it. Have you lost your mind? She told him!

She didn't say him. She reached out to you.

Because she knew there was no point trying to talk to you! Stop it!

I don't want this! Angelica.

Angelica, wait! Er... Let her be.

You should go now.

Come back when you've calmed down.

Don't worry, I'm going. I don't like the company you keep.

FOOTSTEPS RECEDE

It's me everyone should be mad at. Oh, nonsense.

ELENA SIGHS

ELENA TUTS You're not to blame.

Well, why's dad so angry with Luca, then?

He feels... guilty...

at failing to protect you.

We all do.

That's not going to happen again.

I want you to stay here.

On the island. With me, your grandfather.

I haven't finished school.

Well, you can finish it here.

Help run the restaurant.

Learn on the job.

But what about Dad?

He needs to prioritise what's best for you.

OK.

Yeah. Thanks, Gran.

BIRDS CHIRP

I still talk to her.

Ask her advice.

What would she say to you now?

"Grow up.

"Say sorry."

You don't need to apologise.

I shouldn't have said that. No.

I often wonder if, er...

...we did the right thing with Luca.

I know he doesn't act out of malice. Yeah, but he makes bad judgements.

Yet it's hard to stay mad at him.

As I'm sure it's hard for Angelica to stay mad at you.

She'll give it a go. GENNARO CHUCKLES

Sofia would tell you to talk to her.

I've tried. Then try again!

Make her that meal that we've talked about.

Sit down with her.

I don't know if my culinary skills will stretch to that.

GENNARO CHUCKLES

You're the only one who doubts it.

Show her how much you love her, Joe.

MAN SPEAKING ITALIAN

Here. Look at me. CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS

Go on, then, what happened?

A night patrol made a routine approach to two boats at sea.

They sped off, and my colleagues gave chase.

Followed one of the boats to a beach on the south coast.

Anxious not to be caught?

The two guys in it ran off.

Is it illegal to kill sharks here?

No. But people get angry about it.

Maybe that's why they fled. No.

There was no fishing equipment in the boat.

So, you dragged me out here to watch the making of Jaws 5?

I have to ask you about your daughter.

OK, I take it you haven't spoken to her.

I've tried. What are you worried about?

That she'll think I'm putting my work ahead of her feelings.

Yet again.

Look, we're going home in a few days.

I don't have time to get involved in anything major.

OK.

Maybe you should just go ahead and charge Daniele.

Come to headquarters, go through the evidence with me

before you make up your mind.

Lara... Please, Joe.

MEN EXCLAIM, SPEAK IN ITALIAN

Hang on, sorry.

How long? I have already told you.

Professor Camoletti's on his way back from the conference.

Then YOU cut it open. I'm only his associate.

There's human remains in there. I very much doubt that.

A hand dropped out of its mouth.

Well, it doesn't mean that it's been bitten off.

Blue sharks do not prey on humans.

There have been four recorded fatalities

in the last 500 years.

That's four more than zero.

She's an adult, pregnant female.

She's a mother. She's not a maneater.

Now, excuse me. I need to get back to work.

DISTANT HORNS BLARE

You've met two of our targets.

Yeah, at my wife's family's restaurant.

Mm-hm. This is Fabio Pigozzi.

He's served time for GBH and attempted murder.

And he's currently employed by the Di Biasi clan

as a high-level enforcer.

This other guy here...

Bernardo Renzi.

A key lieutenant of Rocco Di Biasi.

He poses as an executive

at a canning business owned by the family.

Our colleagues in Narcotics

are convinced they're using the factory distribution network

to traffic illegal prescription drugs.

What's this got to do with Daniele?

The Di Biasi clan is shifting products

via a network of street couriers

run by Pigozzi, overseen by Renzi.

So, we can use the boy to put those two behind bars

and disrupt the operation. Mm?

Speak to your daughter, Detective.

Explain her sacrifice will be serving a greater good.

Yeah?

FOOTSTEPS RECEDE

And speak to your father-in-law.

What's this got to do with him? You know perfectly well, Joe.

FOOTSTEPS RECEDE

HORN BLARES

If I only had myself to worry about, I wouldn't hesitate.

He'll be weakened.

Behind bars even.

I would never forgive myself if something happened to Elena.

And I would never forgive myself

if that stopped you doing the right thing.

I'm not scared of Rocco Di Biasi.

I'm scared of seeing the man I love

eaten away to nothing by worry.

What do you need me to do?

If the sting succeeds, they'll go after him in a bigger way.

That's when your testimony will be needed.

Then, why are you telling me now?

I'll feel better if you know at least something of what's involved.

I'll support whatever you decide.

Can't be any worse than now.

Are you going to tell Angelica?

Of course.

At the right moment.

No time like the present, Joe.

She's pretty angry with me.

I thought I might wait a bit, let her cool down.

Then cook her that meal.

You know? Talk it all through.

All right, but don't leave it too long.

She has a right to know.

Luca, wait.

I'm sorry.

I overreacted.

No, Joe, I'm the one who's sorry.

You've no need to be.

But I owe you, so much.

Luca, mate, seriously. It's OK.

Listen, I want to make it up to you.

I've connections. I know people.

Who know things. About what?

The people who where in the boat. You know about the shark?

Everybody's talking about it.

Do you know whose hand it is? Not yet.

But I can ask around. Thank you.

Don't stay too late, Inspector. I'm right behind you, boss.

OK, so...

...look at where it's been separated.

You can see the lines are clean.

If you say so.

It's clearer in the photos.

If it had been bitten off,

I would expect the lacerations to be somewhat irregular.

See?

But the photos show it is a clean cut.

The hand was cut off?

And from a corpse, not a living being.

How can you tell?

A live body has a different vital response than a dead body,

so coagulation, inflammation, enzymatic release.

We've sent a DNA sample to the lab.

We'll check it against our database,

although the evidence points to the victim being from North Africa.

What makes you say that?

It's written in the Libyc alphabet.

It's the ancient Berber word for "king".

Who are you mailing?

My contact at Interpol.

Are you sending him the DNA profile?

He's a she. Jolanta's an expert in gangs.

I think it might be a symbol of affiliation. Mm.

Inspector. It's decision time.

I thought we had another day.

We need to either charge him

or let him go today because of his age.

You haven't spoken to Angelica? I was planning on doing it tonight.

Please call her now.

But I-I need to do it in person. Joe.

OK, let's just go ahead and...

I'll find a way to square it with Angelica.

You see? It looks like a button.

Wi-Fi transmitter and battery unit are built into this key fob.

You have to keep it in your pocket.

The mic is voice-activated.

My buttons are different. We'll replace those.

What happens if I say no?

You're looking at three to five. With all the other sex offenders.

DANIELE SIGHS

And if I agree? We'll drop the most serious charges.

Possession with intent to supply,

maliciously administering a substance

with intent to engage in non-consensual sexual activity.

A first offence...

but with consideration given to your cooperation,

any prison sentence is likely to be dropped.

What do I say to him?

What we rehearsed.

Call Fabio.

Ask him to set up a meeting with Renzi.

And if he refuses?

Claim you have info that Renzi needs to hear in person.

Tell him you think the police have an informer in his network,

that we seem to know a lot about his operations.

You get him to talk specifics, name names.

Anything that gives us grounds to make an arrest.

And you'll be watching him?

Oh, yeah.

And you too.

It couldn't wait till I got back? The island is like the Vatican.

There are eyes and ears everywhere.

You have something to tell me?

Yeah, but not here. It's so public.

I can't miss this ferry, Luca.

Five minutes, Joe. I promise.

Fuck!

Shit!

No!

It's my mess. I clean it up. OK.

'What's wrong with the restaurant?'

They may have it under surveillance.

HORN BLARES, SEAGULLS SQUAWK

Why would they be watching you?

Because they know I know things.

And now they know you're police.

Maybe this isn't such a great idea.

I told you, Joe.

I want to help. OK. What have you got?

Those who abandoned the boat,

they won't make that mistake again.

How do you mean? They are shark bait now.

They messed up?

And cost Di Biasi a fortune.

They were taking it to him?

They were hired to meet a boat at sea, take on board its cargo...

and deliver it to a warehouse in the harbour.

They were supposed to land the catch without arousing suspicion.

Only they panicked and ran.

Then the question is... why?

Why did they run?

And why is this shark so precious to Di Biasi?

Have you cut it open?

Not yet.

But it might be time to.

Thanks, Luca.

PHONE RINGS AND BUZZES

Jolanta. You got a name for me?

KNOCK AT THE DOOR

INDISTINCT CHATTER

You came back? To show you this.

Listen, Joe... I'm not here for an apology.

Or excuses.

I just want to get a result.

Good.

So do I.

That's Omari Hassan. He's a Libyan national.

This is our guy, who lost his hand?

My contact at Interpol says it's a definite match.

Anything else? He served four years in a Greek jail

for human trafficking, deported to Tripoli

to serve the rest of a 15-year sentence.

Released early? To come to a sticky end, it seems.

He has links to an organised crime network, the Kings of the Maghreb.

Sounds like a rock band.

Well, do you want me to list their greatest hits?

Human trafficking, arms smuggling, and lucrative side hustles

in synthetic opioids and unregistered gold.

Gold? Yeah, there are mines all over North Africa.

They use the profits to fund the smuggling routes.

So, the 24-carat question...

Do I have any idea what his hand was doing inside a blue shark?

Well, do you? Yeah, I've been working on that.

Has he called yet?

Oh... Well, he's cutting it a bit fine.

He always does.

Oh.

Have you decided what you'll say?

I think I'm gonna play it by ear.

Well...

...I'm in the restaurant, if you need me.

OK. Thanks, Gran. Yeah.

ELENA SIGHS

Whatever you decide, it's OK.

And what's this?

It's a list of tattoos and symbols showing gang affiliation.

Sent by Joe's contact at Interpol.

She's an expert in this stuff.

So, this guy, our victim...

Omari Hassan. Right.

...is with the Kings of the Maghreb?

Well, he was until a fatal parting of the ways.

Look. See.

And this shipment your contact says they fell out over,

the Di Biasis were the intended recipients?

That's the chatter the police in Malta picked up on their wire tap.

OK, let me get this straight.

The Kings of the Maghreb sent a boat load of drugs

to the Di Biasi clan.

A synthetic opioid, tramadol.

Maltese coastguard intercepts.

Tipped off by Omari Hassan.

The shipment later goes missing.

It's believed to have been sold on via Gibraltar

to a syndicate in Spain, correct?

The Kings of Maghreb find out about Omari's double dealing.

And then naturally killed him and sent the severed hand to the Biasis,

to let them know it's been dealt with.

CURTI SIGHS Yeah.

OK, now...

how does this help us to clean up this mess and trap Renzi?

First you asked me to cut it open, and now don't?

It needs to stay exactly as we found it.

Do I have your word?

You mentioned she was... pregnant.

Well, we need a scan to confirm it,

but... look at her belly.

She is quite round.

Mm?

A mature female weighs around 90 kilos,

but this specimen weighs more than 120 kilos.

It is the most likely explanation.

Or she swallowed something.

Something very heavy.

And my mum.

I've never seen it before.

You don't really talk about her.

She wasn't really part of my life.

Is that because she died?

Because she abandoned me.

She was a normal kid.

Apparently.

Then her dad lost his job in the car factory and, er...

the family fel... fell apart.

She dropped out.

Got into drugs.

All the shit that goes with that.

She was pregnant with me at 19.

In and out of prison after that.

Last time, Nellie...

...that's my nan, saw her...

...was my fourth birthday.

She came by with a... jigsaw.

And that was that.

She turned up in a mortuary in Bradford six years later.

Why didn't you ever tell me any of this?

I didn't want you to think I was damaged.

Or to worry that I might pass that damage onto you.

Mum knew, right?

What do you think?

I mean, don't get me wrong, I'd built up my defences.

Shuffling between care and...

foster homes after my nan died.

All the banter and brutality coming through the police ranks.

I was pretty hardened by the time I met your mum.

Detached.

Unemotional.

She just bulldozed right through all that.

Mum didn't do unemotional.

She brought...

...so much joy back into my life.

So much love.

So much hope... when we had you.

And then I lost her.

We lost her.

Shut down again. It's the only way I could cope.

And coming here...

...it's been agony.

Constantly being reminded of her.

Almost sensing a-a trace of her.

Everywhere I turn, everywhere I look.

I'm sorry, Dad.

It was a dumb idea to come. No. No.

I've started to feel...

And how did you get a GPS tracker inside it without opening it up?

I used a litter picker to force it down the gullet.

Trusted luck.

Didn't take a genius to work out why the gold and the hand had been sent.

Or why Di Biasi would be desperate to recover it.

Yeah.

And it's a shame it's not drugs, right?

With so much unlicenced gold, they're looking at eight years.

Di Biasi loses a top lieutenant and a key enforcer.

And the best part of five million euros.

Well, now we need the boss himself in jail. Mm?

And that's why I'm suggesting a transfer.
