PEOPLE CHAT

Champagne, sir? Thank you.

Please make sure
the man's glass is full.

He is the guest of honour.
Of course.

Thank you.

Caviar mini pizza? No, thank you.

She's the Russian, right?
Very elegant. What's her name again?

Honestly? I skimmed it,
even the bits with her in.

♪

He fell out with a rival...
And then fell off a balcony,

meaning Kati had to leave
in a hurry.

So, you DID read it.
I merely looked at the pictures.

Killed in broad daylight.
A dozen witnesses.

Classic oligarch assassination. Mm.

Poor Kati.
A true damsel in distress.

Well, unfortunately for you, it
looks like the Prince Charming role

has already been filled.

Thank you, everyone,
for attending this historic moment.

Professor da Silva has spent the
last two weeks evaluating the icon,

and I'm proud to confirm

that this is the original icon
of Saint Nicholas the Russian

that was stolen
from this very monastery

over 500 years ago.

And thanks to our friend,
Ms Kati Gorenka,

he is finally back home.

APPLAUSE
Before...

Before I formally hand
the icon over to Father Santiago,

please welcome our hostess
for this evening.

APPLAUSE

Who's the gorilla?

That's Yuri Gabrikov -
Kati's bodyguard.

Think he's ever smiled?

Even as a kid?

HE CHUCKLES
I bet, on his tenth birthday party,

he was like... Shush!

The friendship
of the people of Mallorca

has been like a beacon
guiding me back to safe shores,

and for that reason,
it is my honour

to return the icon of Saint Nicholas
to his rightful owners.

Thank you. Thank you, all.

And now please enjoy the party.
APPLAUSE

Anything to report,
Detective Winter? Mm.

The caviar pizzas
are just delicious.

But apart from that, nothing.
GUNSHOT

SCREAMING, GUNSHOT

Come on, come on, come on! Move!

Come on, come on, come on!
Move, move, move, move!

Move, move, move!

Max.

Come on!

FAINT BANG

MOTOR WHIRS

Dammit!

Dammit!

BOTH PANT

♪ When the moonlight shines
down on the sea

♪ And you think that you got
a shot at me

♪ Better set me free

♪ You gotta set me free
Yeah

♪ I'll surrender

♪ Surrender. ♪

This is a disaster...

..not to mention
a national humiliation

in broad daylight.

The police had one simple task -

protect the icon of Saint Nicholas -

and it was taken
from right under your noses!

Kati Gorenka is not only our guest.

She's investing heavily
in the hotel project.

That means work and business

for my island. Personally, I feel
Mallorca belongs to everybody...

We've already widened
the search for the boat.

Find it and there's every chance
of recovering the icon.

You better, or... or...

..or...

Or...? ..or there will be
big trouble,

and lots of it for all of you.

Big, big trouble!

Find the icon.

DOOR SLAMS

"Big, big trouble." For you.

Have there been any sightings
of the boat? No, not yet,

but as I've said, the coastguard
have widened their search...

Oh, come on. The icon is long gone.

It's probably hanging
in some mobster's basement already.

Now, if we had our own speedboat...
No, you're wrong!

It has to still be on the island.
You just love to contradict me.

That's becoming a thing.
You, shut up. You, talk.

The chopper was on the scene
in good time,

so there's no way that boat
could have reached the mainland.

It must have doubled back
to the shore, which means,

logically, Saint Nicholas
is still on the island,

and if it is, we can get it back.

For all our sakes,
I hope you're right.

Well, don't just stand there.
Go find it!

Look, I know you're going
to be on a whole

"hey, this is personal" trip

because you were supposed
to protect the icon... Sorry, me?

If you wouldn't have been so busy
gorging on mini pizzas...

I'm just saying, this clearly was
a professional art theft,

which means,
despite what the logic says,

the chances of us finding
the icon now are pretty slim.

You're giving up. No!

I'm just preparing you for
potential disappointment. That's it.

Oh, well, yeah, great.

Thank you very much for that,
but I prefer to think positively,

so can we please
get down to business?

If they have hidden the boat
on the island,

then someone somewhere
will have seen something.

On an empty stretch of coast

with a thousand inlets,
all inaccessible?

Like I said to Cesar,
the boat is key.

We talk to coastguard,
criminal intelligence,

local informants, anyone - anyone -
who might have seen the boat land.

Paco. Paco! Paco will know,
and I know where he'll be.

Come on.

That's Paco?

Pelican L aka Paco.

One-time successful artist,
fell in with a bad crowd,

and now he operates
as a beachcomber.

Smuggler, you mean?
That's so judgmental.

He's a valuable police source.
He's very cooperative.

Although it's always best
to surprise him.

And there we go. Finished. 50 euro.

All right, 20. Come on. Ten!

Paco! Philistines!

HE GROANS IN PAIN
That's my painting arm!

Get off me! What do you want,
apart from wrecking my business?

We're looking for a boat.

A boat? What would an artist of
my stature know of such base things?

Cos you're a smuggler.
A smuggler? Me?

I merely acquire things

that have been washed up
on the tide of good fortune.

Anyway, listen, I'm so sorry
that I can't be of more help

to my good friends
in the police, but...

That's a damn shame.

You know that there's a reward?

Oh, yeah? A small one, no doubt.
Not worth the bother? 500 euros.

It's not so small.

50 upfront.

You'll get the rest
when you find the boat.

I'll see what I can do.

Ah, good old Paco.
HE CHUCKLES

OK. So, where next? The marina.
I want to talk to the Russians.

To get round security
outside the monastery,

they must have had information.

Someone knew exactly
how to disable the alarms.

So, you think it could be
an inside job? Let's find out.

Ekaterina?
HE SCOFFS

How vain do you have to be
to name a yacht after yourself?

Kati didn't.
Her husband, Sergei, did.

It was a gift to his beloved.

VIOLENT GROANING

Kata te jime - single-hand choke.

Ekaterina. Ekaterina!

I think he's submitting.

Better.

Although your ippon
still needs work.

We continue tomorrow.

Palma police. Ms Gorenka,
we need to ask you some questions.

Oh, yes. The waiters.

Mallorca has always felt
like a home to my family,

and now that Mayor Cesar
has welcomed us,

I wanted to show my gratitude
by returning the icon.

And you deal with
all Kati's security?

I protect her.
It was Sergei's last wish.

Before he fell off the balcony?

My husband was killed, Detective,
by powerful people.

That is why
I can never go back to Russia.

We are now just poor refugees,

adrift on an endless ocean
of sorrow.

Well, at least you all have
a lovely boat to do it on.

Oh, Detective,
how very cynical of you.

I got nearly everything
you asked for, Kati,

but they ran out of fox gilets.

You remember the police officers
from last night, don't you, Alexis?

Yes, I do, and I assume
you're here to apologise

for your complete incompetence.

We just need a little information.

Did you notice anything unusual
before the gunshot?

Anyone you didn't recognise?
Nothing.

I assumed the place
was crawling with police,

that security was
properly taken care of.

My mistake, clearly.
KATI CHUCKLES

Alexis is a professional,
Detective Blake.

Ex-Spetsnaz.

He was my own personal
protection officer

before we, erm... we, erm...

Before we fell in love.
We fell in love.

He has very high standards.

We are the victims here, Detectives.

All we want is our icon back.

Couldn't you even pretend
to look busy?

I'm thinking...

HE SIGHS
..about the case.

Big Yuri is jealous, for sure.

Hates Alexis. I see his point.

But do you think Yuri loves Kati?
He's worshipped her from afar?

I don't see how that's relevant.
Revenge?

She takes up with Alexis,
so he feels she owes him,

so he tips off the gang,

deliberately leaves
a hole in security.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Hold that thought. It's a good one.

Max Winter.

OK, thanks.

Yes, I'll definitely tell her
to bring the money.

All right. So, where exactly is it?

OK, thank you.

Guess who. Vladimir Putin.

Paco, and he's found
your boat already. Let's go.

Took a bit of digging,
but I know this guy.

He's a boat painter

and he likes this stretch
of the coast for sardine fishing.

Anyway, he saw -
not that he was looking, mind you -

but he saw this boat just abandoned.

And, now, it did take a bit
of persuading on my part, but...

..as promised, one boat.

MAX CHUCKLES

Paco has his ear to the ground.

Hey! Hey! What about my money?

Ah, yeah. Erm...

Really?

Take it or leave it. I'll take it.

Anything? I guess
professional art thieves

don't leave names and addresses.

Hey, where are you going?

To look around.
We haven't finished here yet.

We need to pull DNA
and fingerprints.

And don't forget witness interviews.

Somebody might have seen them
dump the boat.

We need to go door-to-door, Max.

What doors?
We're in the middle of nowhere!

Federico, hi. Miranda.
We need a forensics team.

It's a cove on the Pollenca road.
I'll drop you a pin.

Hey! Come and look at this.

Hang on. I'll call you back.

It's from La Rueda.
Remember Alexis' shopping?

This is the most expensive shop
in Palma. It's a receipt, Max.

It could have been here for months.
No way. Uh-uh. This is new.

All right, there's only one way
onto this beach and one way out.

Same for us. Same for the robbers.

What if Alexis is our inside man?

All that from a credit card slip?
Come on! We're going shopping.

La Rueda -
this is where Alexis shops.

I told you it was a waste of time.

This negativity really is
becoming a thing.

We're chasing up a lead here.

Real detective work, huh?
You know, honestly,

I'm only going along with this
until the forensics come back.

You know, actual real police work.

MOBILE PHONE BUZZES
Ah, Federico. Finally!

The boat will be clean.

Well, let's see, shall we?

Yes?

HE SIGHS

What, nothing? Are you sure?

OK, thank you.

Like I said - clean.

BELL RINGS
Look.

Lead's on the move.

See? A gallery where you can find
art dealers to buy a stolen icon.

Maybe.

"Nice clue, Max. Great instincts.

"Let's stake out this gallery
and see what happens."

That's what you should say.

When you say nothing,
it means I won, yeah?

At least that's how I interpret it.

Interesting.
What do you have, Alexis?

It's too big for our icon.

OK, he's gone.
I will talk to the owner.

And tip them off
that we're onto them? No.

We need round-the-clock
covert surveillance here.

And if the icon IS in there?
We can't risk it.

Imagine how happy the mayor will be.

We might get a big, big medal.

What the hell? Max!
Max, we need to wait!

I'll call for backup.
It's too late. I'm almost there.

I'm going in. For God's sake!

Max! Max!

Can I help you? I'm Detective Blake.
This is Detective Winter.

We have some questions concerning

the theft of the icon
of Saint Nicholas. Ah, yes.

Yes, I heard. A terrible thing.
It was a beautiful piece.

"Was"?

If it was stolen, then I assume

it's already in the hands
of a collector.

Another priceless work of art
hidden away forever,

lost to the world.

Now, that's the real crime,
don't you think? The Russian...

..what did he want? Alexis?

He's a customer. He commissioned
an original painting.

In questionable taste,

but needs must
when the devil drives, hmm?

You know, you seem
very familiar to me.

Have we met before?

No, I don't think so, Detective.

What's in here? Storage.
We can't display everything.

Is there something
you're looking for in particular?

Can I see? No, afraid not.

The key has been mislaid.
Oh, we could break it down for you.

I'd really rather you didn't.
Well, unless you have a warrant.

No, I thought not.

Now, please leave...

..or I shall be calling
both my lawyers.

Ha! I knew it!
Blake Nardini is an alias. Look.

His real name is...
Ziggy von Rumke. Mm-hm.

Trained at
the Kunstakademie Dusseldorf.

Notorious stolen art dealer.
OK, let's get that warrant.

Alexis steals the icon
from under our noses,

sells it to Nardini,
who keeps it under wraps.

Until it can be slipped off
the island. When the heat dies down.

You're sure about this? 110%.

I'm coming with you.

DOORBELL RINGS

Police!

Max!

Scheisse!

Detective Blake!

The mayor wanted
the Spanish police on the case.

He didn't trust you. I persuaded him
to give you a chance.

Why the hell
did you walk straight in?

You should have called for backup,
set up surveillance. Well...?

I thought, if we went straight in,

we had a chance to find the icon,
catch him red-handed.

What you've succeeded in doing
is to alert our prime suspect.

Now I have to tell Cesar
that the icon is lost forever!

I'm sorry. Words, Detective, I have.
What I need are results!

OK. So, this time, you were right
and I was wrong. Yeah, obviously.

But I had a hunch
the icon was inside...

Oh, we could have found it, Max,
if we'd followed standard procedure!

But, instead, you went with
your hunch. My hunch got us there.

Remember the receipt
in the bushes? Paco?

If we'd have gone
by your precious book...

OK, do you know why there's a book?
Because it works.

So, yes, yes,
you should have listened to me

because I know what the hell
I'm doing. Of course.

And that's your own little
Mallorca fantasy, isn't it?

Miranda Blake saving us all
with her fantastic police work.

But you know what? We caught
bad guys before you came along.

Really? Yes. Are you sure?

Because I would love
to see some evidence of that.

You remember evidence, do you?

It's the thing we police officers
use to put people in jail.

You are not so perfect. That's why
you're here, stuck with me.

Just forget it. I'm going home,
and I suggest you do the same.

Max Winter with
the long horse face, huh?

HE LAUGHS

He had an argument
with his girlfriend.

I mean, with his other girlfriend.

HE LAUGHS

I think you should talk to him.
So...? She thinks I'm irresponsible.

Well, that's true. I don't deliver.

Hey, you're like the postman -
you always deliver. Right.

I found the boat. Me.
I thought Paco found the boat.

It was my source. I do my share.
She just chooses to ignore it.

So, you're right and she's wrong?
Exactly.

And that's why you are drinking
schnapps at five o'clock?

I'm celebrating how perfectly right
I always am.

Find her and apologise
or find a new bar.

I like this bar.

HE SIGHS

Over here, we have the facade
of the 13th-century church.

It was a model

because it was struck by lightning
in the 17th century.

If you'd like to follow me,
we will walk this way.

TOUR CONTINUES FAINTLY IN DISTANCE

Police officer from the other night.

Yeah. Are you here
investigating the robbery?

Not exactly. I'm just running things
through in my head.

Sounds very much like investigation.
Mm, yeah.

I thought you were very brave.

I saw you running after
an armed robber...

..no thought for your own safety.

Just doing my job.

Can't believe I just said that.

Well, if you're not here working,

then why don't you let me
show you around? Sure.

Some people say this is a Giotto.

Me? I am not so sure.

The brushwork is
a little... unrefined.

I wish I could see
what you can see. Hmm.

Sometimes, I want to have the eye
of an amateur once more

to see the beauty of the whole...

..not the devil in the detail.

Don't wish away your innocence,
Detective.

Poor Saint Nicholas.

He disappears for centuries,

and when everyone
thinks him lost forever,

he reappears,
only to vanish once more.

Perhaps the Lord is laughing at us,
Detective.

I would have thought
He'd want it back as much as we did.

God, that is.
It's a masterpiece, right?

At least, that's what the books say.
Yes, a masterpiece, no doubt.

But it's what he represents
that's important.

Saint Nicholas is much more than
a beautiful piece of painted wood.

The true genius
is the devotion of the artist.

Pure faith made tangible,
Detective Blake.

Now, that - that is priceless.

That's where we're going to put him.
An icon is a window onto heaven.

Hiding it away in a vault
defeats the point.

As you can see,
we have... filled the space.

However, it's a little...

Flat?

HE WHISPERS: The work
of Father Rodrigo.

His gift is in devotion,
but not art.

Maybe you should tell him the truth.

And hurt his feelings? No.

Sometimes, the truth is overrated.

I... I like the purple.

The Christ is dressed
in that way because

purple pigment
was once hugely expensive,

extracted only from the shells
of Phoenician sea snails.

It was a sign of great wealth -
the colour of popes and emperors.

Every colour tells
its own story, Detective.

Are you sure? Of course.

The stone is lapis lazuli -
an ancient source of blue pigment.

I can run it through our analysis,
if you like. Where did you get it?

MOBILE PHONE BUZZES
Ooh, sorry.

Yes? Guess what.

We found the icon.
Saint Nicholas is back.

HE CHUCKLES

Yeah, some kid and his dog found it

hidden under a bush
near to the boat, called it in.

MAX CHUCKLES

Well, it's a fake. What?
Well, think about it.

When we found the boat,
the entire area was searched.

Not a scrap of evidence -
no prints, no fibres, nothing.

Apart from a crucial
credit card receipt.

Now the icon just turns up hidden
under a bush? It doesn't add up.

Maybe they missed it.

Federico may be a lot of things,
but he's good at his job.

There's no way this icon
was left there by the thieves.

HE SIGHS
OK. I'm guessing you have a theory.

The institute tested the icon,
confirmed it was genuine,

then it was stolen.

What if the thieves only stole it
in order to make a copy?

When the fake turns up,
everyone assumes it's real,

the case is closed
and they get to keep the real icon

in order to sell it
on the black market.

Alexis visits von Rumke
to collect the copy

before planting it back here
for us to find. Exactly.

Found this in the gallery.
Federico tested it.

It's lapis lazuli.
It's a vital ingredient.

He was using it to match
the blue in the icon.

This painting is a forgery.

It's a good one,
but it's still a forgery.

I'm right. I know I am.
It's funny, this room.

There is some kind of echo.

I'm sure I've heard this before

when I authorised a warrant
to search an empty studio.

I promise you,
this time is different.

You sound just like my ex-husband,

and believe me,
that is not a good sound.

Ines, last time, I made the mistake,
but I believe Miranda's right.

Oh, well, if the big bratwurst
is convinced...

No, no, I made my decision.

You both had your chance.
The icon is back.

The ceremony's on.
This case is closed.

Yeah, but don't you see?
That's what they want.

You're playing into their hands.
It's a fake! Closed!

Hey! Wait!

Look, you were right
and I was wrong.

I rushed in and blew the case.
I'm sorry.

Did Carmen tell you to say that?
No. Well, not exactly.

I got carried away,
but I should have listened to you.

It was a two-footed tackle,
straight red, confirmed on VAR.

I mean, I've absolutely no idea what
that means, but... thanks, I think.

Still partners?

Companeros?
SHE CHUCKLES

Sure.

No, I'm not hugging you.
You will when you hear my plan.

So, we believe Kati Gorenka
still has the real icon.

Yeah, I'm sure of it.
Then it's simple.

All we have to do is steal it back.

We're police officers, Max.
We don't steal things.

Well, sometimes,
the book is overrated.

What's he doing here?

SHE SIGHS

SHE GROANS IN FRUSTRATION

CLATTERING
Scheisse!

DOOR OPENS

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

SHE WHISPERS: Max, look.

I wouldn't.

My partner is literally
right behind you.

Mm, sure?

Poor Ziggy. All that talent,
and he ends up as shark food.

Do they actually have sharks here?

Well, in my head, yes.

Yeah, OK, they stay far out...

..waiting.

Yeah, OK.

Buenas noches.

Only a few days ago,
this beautiful work of art was lost,

feared gone forever.

But now, thanks to the efforts

of the wonderful,
wonderful Mallorcan police force,

it has been returned safe and sound.

So, now it is my pleasure to present
the icon of Saint Nicholas

back to the people
of this beautiful island.

That's a fake...

..commissioned by Kati Gorenka.
This is the real one.

We found it on her boat,
along with the body of the man
who made that forgery.

Erm, this is ridiculous.
She's clearly insane.

Kati! Kati, run!

Max! Max! Max!

Don't move.

If you're looking for Yuri,
you'll have a long wait.

Game over. Oh!

Let her go.

GUNSHOT

Arrgh! Arrgh!

I was only a green belt. Arrgh!

Nice tackle, by the way.
It was nothing.

The fruit of God.
SHE CHUCKLES

Ziggy von Rumke
had some talent, huh?

Identical.
They're both so beautiful.

How can you tell the difference?

The truth can never be hidden
from the faithful, Detective.

For you. My gift.

Many good souls have faced
their doubters and prevailed.

However, it is always a challenge.

The most important thing
is that the real icon

is now in a place of safety...

..where it will be seen
and treasured every day.

Don't you agree? Amen.

ECHOES: The most important thing
