BLEATING

I just think... No! It was an undercover operation.

We were a tribute band. We made the arrest. It's over.

But when we were up there, on stage, the crowd going wild...

I just think it would be a crime to deny the fans more of that magic.

Diego Gris, the oldest son of one of the wealthiest families

on the island, is missing.

Obviously, an investigation like

this needs a discreet and serious approach.

I thought of you two.

Huh? Brr-rrr!

Diego drove away from the family villa three days ago.

He told the staff he'd be back for dinner,

but hasn't been seen since.

Is he the playboy type who might jet off to Monaco on a whim?

Do we know if he has any enemies? Has he dropped out of sight before?

All those are really good questions. Very good.

The Gris family made their fortune in olive oil and wine.

They built the town and, of course,

put their own little place on top of it.

CHURCH BELL CHIMES

DOOR SLAMS Ugh! What?

You don't have to brutalise the door of a BMW.

I said this before.

It just takes one smooth push...

..and the mechanism takes over.

You're kidding.

BELL RINGS

Hi. Erm, Palma police. Here to see Senora Gris?

Gracias.

Oh, wow.

Rosalia married Ramon Gris when she was 26 and he was 74.

Seen here in full-on Spanish fascist mode.

Never marry for money, always marry for love.

But if a man's got money,

try and love him anyway.

Took over the business when he died.

Expanded into Italy and France.

Doubled profits in two years.

Wow, that's actually pretty impressive.

Uh-huh. Nothing says strong, independent woman

more than marrying a 74-year-old millionaire.

GENTLE RATTLING

Senora Gris?

I'm so sorry to call you out here.

Please. It's absolutely not a problem.

I'm Detective Blake... My family,

the Gris family, is the foundation and the heart of this town.

The people know they owe us a very unfashionable thing...

..deference.

Ah. Hm.

Some say deference belongs to the past.

These same people who, in my youth, threatened anarchy.

You mean in the war? Republicans who opposed your husband?

And today, they want to dig up bodies of traitors

on our own land and call them heroes.

Ramon and the men who served him - they were the heroes.

And you believe these people are behind your son's disappearance?

You try to soften the pain...

..but I believe my son is dead.

A mother feels this in her heart.

He's my son.

Please... bring me some peace.

Deference. Seriously?

She's just used to getting what she pays for.

Let's see what her son Diego was up to.

Hmm...

Ah! The day he disappeared, Diego had lunch with Maria Himenez.

That name.

The name...

Why do I know that name?

Ah, Diego's phone records show a bunch of calls

to and from Maria Himenez in the days before he disappeared.

Hmm.

Why would you lock that away?

It's Latin.

"Nunc aut nunquam"?

Here we go. Nunc aut nunquam - now or never.

Maybe it's some kind of a lead.

DOOR SLAMS

OK, that's it. Step away from the vehicle.

Yeah, obviously, I need to show you how this is done.

Hmm.

One gentle push. Mm-hm.

Now you.

One... gentle... push.

Got it.

DOOR SLAMS

Oops.

Oh, according to her website, Maria Himenez

is excavating the graves of those who disappeared in the Civil War.

She's a forensic scientist.

So that's what Rosalia meant about digging up the past.

Maria, los detectives Blake and Winter estan aqui.

So, Detective Blake is a blonde.

If I knew you were at the police station,

I would have had to stop by to confess so many bad things.

We're looking into the disappearance of Diego Gris.

I have a few questions I need to ask you.

OK.

Then I have some for you.

Why don't you take a look around, darling? We'll be fine here.

Detective Winter...

So what can you tell us about Diego Gris?

Well, half the town think he's no better than a cockroach.

And I think that's not so fair to cockroaches.

But you had lunch with him the day he disappeared.

Yeah.

Well, show me a world where we all get to do what we want,

and I say no to lunch with a creep like Diego Gris.

This excavation is on the Gris family land.

I got permission from the state.

The Gris family wanted to overturn it. No permission. No dig.

So I laugh at his jokes, order the most expensive thing on the menu

and try not to look at my watch.

Then I get back to work.

Can you tell us why he's so hated?

Sure.

Or I can show you.

Please.

It was 80 years ago, August 28th 1936.

The Civil War is at its height.

Nationalists begin systematic reprisals

against Republican volunteers.

They took young men from their homes,

their families, their mother.

MEN SHOUT

They lined them up against the wall of the church,

right in the centre of town...

..and then put a bullet in the back of each of their heads.

Diego's father, Ramon,

was proud to wear the uniform alongside Franco, the dictator.

People took to calling him the Pig.

The same thing is happening all over Spain.

Once you exhume the bodies, what then?

We identify DNA so relatives can finally bury their dead.

And people queue up to get their DNA tested,

to see if we can find their brother or father or grandfather.

They don't want the past left alone.

We know Diego objected to your work.

Does that sound like I have a motive to kill him?

Well, trust me, you're going to meet a lot of people who hated Diego

before you find the one who did.

You sound sure he's dead.

I hope to God he is.

When you parted after lunch, that was the last time you saw Diego?

He wanted me to come with him to talk to Father Garcia.

I said I'd rather eat nails.

LAUGHS Yeah.

You know, we have a lot in common.

Both of us are trying to solve mysteries about dead people.

We should get together some time.

Compare notes with a cold drink on a warm night.

Thanks, but, erm, I'm more of a "warm drink on a cold night"

kind of girl.

Really?

I'm not so sure.

Bye.

If a row about excavating the bodies did lead somebody to murder Diego,

maybe this Father Garcia can shed some light on it?

Maybe.

The one thing I do know -

that VW Beetle's been following us since we left the Gris villa.

It's still there.

I suppose if he's so keen on following people...

Let's see how good he is.

You looking for some...?

Where is he?

Huh?

I lost him.

You mean, you lost him?

Agh!

What the hell, Max?

I was playing that little game of turn the tables

when you two were passing notes to each other in geography class.

Who are you? And why were you following us?

Because I know you're looking for Diego Gris.

And so am I.

Frank Bottomley, private detective.

Trouble is my business.

We need to work together.

Hmm... I don't think so.

See, we're detectives - professional representative of the state -

and you're an amateur whose bread-and-butter work, I imagine,

is insurance claims, adultery and debt recovery.

I'm an ex-cop with 30 years on the clock

and some very, very useful information.

There we go.

Glass of blanco for Detective Winter.

Tinto for Detective Blake.

Orange juice for me.

To ten years sober.

A marriage and half my liver lost to the devil in a bottle.

Cheers!

OK, Frank...

..why did Rosalia Gris hire you?

And what exactly is your record for missing person investigations?

Diego's not missing.

When you find him, you'll find him cold and dead.

Why is everybody so sure he's dead?

With a missing person case, use the ABC method.

A for abducted.

B for a bullet in the head.

C for career move.

Frank, is this what you dreamed of those cold nights walking the beat

in Kentish Town or wherever?

Retire to the sun and live out this little pulp fiction fantasy?

You know, the suit, the hat, all this...

Nothing wrong with bringing a bit of Dashiell Hammett to the Balearics.

Abducted doesn't work.

We're in three days.

Where's the ransom? Where's the contact?

Exactly.

OK. I mean, I almost don't want to ask this, but C for career move?

Let's say Diego's had enough of being head of the family.

So he takes a flight on a false passport

and is now lying on a beach somewhere

with a pina colada and a bad book.

What's wrong with that version?

His ego wouldn't allow him to just disappear.

He'd have left a note or set up some big fake dramatic death.

Which leaves us with B.

Bullet in the head.

So, let's just skip the soup and hit the main course.

You need my help,

especially if you've got Maria Himenez

top of the leaderboard for this.

What makes you think we have?

Because your first stop was her little summer camp back there.

She's literally digging up Gris family skeletons

on Gris family land,

and because there was a lot of bad blood between her and Diego

when he shut down the funding for her project.

Ooh. She didn't tell you that, did she?

See why we need to work together?

The Civil War is my specialist subject.

The battles, the heroes, the families torn apart,

the grudges that linger.

Ramon Gris.

"The Pig" to everyone around here.

And his two little piggies - Diego and his twin brother Josep.

Best of enemies, knocking lumps out of each other

day they came out the womb.

Josep's been in the Big Apple for years.

Frank, what information do you actually have?

Hmm? Apart from some family photos?

If you hear anything... If you change your mind...

FBI?

Frank Bottomley Investigations. Can I help it if they got it first?

What?

I knew we'd crossed paths before.

I was a DS at Wandsworth for a while.

You were the DC suspended for assaulting your detective inspector!

Really?

Hmm?

It's not actually what happened.

We don't need Frank Bottomley.

We know this kind of town.

A closed community where every slight turns into a grudge.

Grudges lasting generations...

Oh, Miranda. I didn't read about that in your file.

You read my file?

Yeah, of course.

Oh, come on, everybody does that. Don't they?

No!

MAN SHOUTS IN SPANISH

Palma police. What's happening?

God be my witness, he will suffer for this! Come.

"Diego Gris paid the price."

"Father Garcia is next."

There is no doubt who did this! You must arrest Arturo Cabre!

Who's Arturo Cabre?

It is not enough he desecrates the church with his vile threat,

but there is the confession he killed Diego Gris!

He's an anarchist, a drunk and a murderer!

HE SIGHS

Ninos, limpialo ahora!

BELL CHIMES

So this is the wall?

One bullet in the back of the head.

Eight bodies in the shallow grave.

It is the site of a regrettable chapter in our history.

Maria Himenez told us both the Gris family and the Church

campaigned against exhuming the bodies of those murdered in the war.

Murder?

No.

Executed for treason.

Arturo and his comrades dishonour those who died fighting communists.

Perhaps they just want closure...

..for the families of those who died.

The police commissioner is a good friend.

Does he know you sympathise with these terrorists?

Do your job. Arrest the killer.

I will do mine and pray for his soul.

Arturo Cabre's a union rep with a reputation as a one-man revolution,

and a criminal record.

Let's see if Father Garcia's right and we have a suspect.

Senor Cabre?

Arturo Cabre?

Palma police.

We're investigating the disappearance of Diego Gris.

It's a beautiful machine.

It belonged to a Republican general.

I make it new to honour the heroes of 80 years ago.

And do you think that's enough?

To put right the wrongs from the past?

For me, this is about the present.

The fascist never left.

We need to show this island the truth of its own history

or it will repeat its mistakes.

We just came from Father Garcia's church.

Somebody threatened his life.

You have a history of threats against him and against Diego Gris.

And at a public meeting about the exhumations you said,

"I hope Diego Gris ends up in a ditch with a bullet in his head."

No comment.

Also, "The hypocrite Father Garcia should lie dead beside him."

I said, no comment.

HE WHISTLES Ahora no.

Ahora no.

OK.

Who advised you "no comment" is a good strategy, Senor Cabre?

Miranda, please don't slam the...

DOOR SLAMS ..door.

SHE SIGHS

INTERCOM BUZZES

Hello, Frank Bottomley.

Mr Bottomley, Detective Blake. Can you let me in, please?

I need to arrest you for obstructing a police investigation.

Fourth floor. There's no lift.

INTERCOM BUZZES

You told a witness not to cooperate with the police!

Because there's nothing Arturo likes more than an audience,

and he'd confess to shooting JFK

if it meant somebody listened to him.

And because I know he was in Madrid when Diego disappeared.

Oh, really? Yes.

You really have an interest in all this military stuff, don't you?

Yes. It's important. You sure you didn't suggest Madrid

to Arturo as a useful alibi?

Why would I do that?

I'm just trying to figure out what side of the law you're on here.

And who's this handsome devil, straight out of a Hemingway novel?

Careful with that.

That's my grandad, Tom, when he was here fighting the fascists.

See, I asked around.

You didn't retire with a gold watch, did you, Frank?

Detective Sergeant Bottomley left the service under a bit of a cloud.

What was it? Taking cash in brown envelopes? Losing evidence?

If you want the truth, I resigned because I wasn't up to the job.

I chased down a climber burglar one night.

Cornered him, about to move in.

He pulled a knife.

He was no more than 15.

And I ran away like a boy from a bully.

That's not very brave, is it?

HE CHUCKLES

He faced death and kept his nerve,

and I ran away like a coward.

Yep. I'm no hero...

..but I was never a villain.

What?

I don't remember it on your file.

Did you actually assault your detective inspector?

OK. Great.

Thanks for your help.

Phew!

King James School - for the very, very rich.

School motto? Oh...

Nunc aut nunquam.

It's where Diego and his brother Josep went.

And you do get one of these beauties the day you leave.

I guess that's why he still had it in a drawer.

Oh... Buenos! This is Frank Bottomley,

the private detective Rosalia Gris hired.

Frank Bottomley, this is my boss Ines Villegas.

Senor Bottomley.

Hola. I've heard nothing but good things about you, Ines.

Detective Blake tells me

you are too busy acting like this is Los Angeles in the '30s

to do any actual investigating.

Erm... I'm not sure that's actually what I said.

Oh, it's OK.

I just thought you'd like to know

I've found Diego Gris's car.

So, Senor Cabre, you're telling me that your friend

Senor Rivas just turned up in Diego Gris's car?

He wants to sell it.

He tells me he found it.

I tell him if you catch him, he goes to prison.

So I tell him I call a man who knows this kind of situation.

Hmm. And you called Frank?

And I say to Frank,

"Maybe I can take the car back to where Paco found it."

And I said the right thing to do was to get the Palma police involved.

Well... that's very civic minded of you.

And you don't know anything about the effigy hung from the church?

Nothing.

Same colour red.

I'm a good citizen!

I'm a good citizen.

I'll even tell you where Paco found it.

OK, so on his way from the Gris villa to a meeting

Father Garcia said he didn't show up for, Diego was shot in his car.

An angling down from the bank makes sense,

with the blood splatters on the door panel and seat.

We have tyre tracks here suggesting another vehicle

was parked across the road. So Diego has to stop.

The blood samples here match samples from the car, both Diego's.

And the drag marks in the gravel are consistent with the body

being pulled out of the car and taken away.

So unless we find him here,

I'd say driven off in the boot of the second car?

Hmm. OK, it's pretty clear what happened.

All we're missing is the body.

And the who. And the why.

I'm still trying to contact the brother, Josep Gris.

But he's starting to look like a man who doesn't want to be contacted.

Also, Luisa did all the tests

on this tie her enthusiasm could imagine.

Chocolate? Hmm.

From the decomposition of the fibres,

Luisa says it's been in the ground at least ten years.

But she won't have the full DNA results until the morning.

PHONE RINGS

CARMEN SIGHS

Can you tell your office wife to maybe keep to office hours?

Hello. Max, new evidence.

Luisa's found a DNA match on the tie.

Do you think you can come...? You had me at "new evidence".

HE SIGHS Can you pick me up? Now?

Well, good morning.

It's always good to see you, Detective Blake.

If I'd known, I would have brought us breakfast.

Oh... More questions?

Yeah.

Let's start with, erm,

the body you decided not to tell anyone about?

We found a school tie. It's got your DNA on it.

Why's that?

OK.

What we found, it was obvious right away it wasn't like the others.

It was 20 years old at the most.

It was separate from the main grave.

And I had seen Diego wearing the same school tie.

A full genome test on the body told me it was Josep Gris,

Diego's twin brother.

I knew we should inform the police.

But then you heard your funding had been blocked by Diego,

and that it was all over.

The project you loved and worked so long to complete.

So, instead of calling the police,

you decided to use what you knew to protect it.

I never saw a man turn so pale as Diego did

when he took Josep's tie out of the bag.

I actually saw his thoughts switch from how to get into my pants

to how to stay out of prison.

Tu crees que nadie me va a creer?

Pues vete a la policia!

He tells me he doesn't care if I go to the police.

That he can prove it was all an accident.

How they had a fight about family business

and the brother fell and cracked his head open.

Sabes que pasa, Diego, que es que me da igual.

I told him I didn't care about any of that.

That I wanted my funding restored.

Plus 50,000 euros for my silence.

And then what happened?

Diego didn't turn up with the cash.

You mean he called your bluff?

Or did he go further?

Maybe he never intended to pay you.

He'd already killed his own brother, so why wouldn't he kill you?

So you brought a gun.

And when you saw what he planned...

..you were ready for him...

GUNSHOT

..and you shot him in the head.

Ohh... SHE CHUCKLES

Really?

Yes...

..really.

Senora Gris, I regret to inform you that following the discovery

of the body of a 19-year-old male,

a body we have confirmed as that of Josep Gris...

Josep? No!

He's in New York.

He writes to you still.

Things have long been strained between us,

but that doesn't mean anything.

An investigation has begun

into the circumstances of his death.

And any attempts to cover up that death 15 years ago.

What is this?

Que es aixo? What is she saying? You lied to me?

Aquest noi!

T'esclafare com a la pols!

Miranda's just found new forensics at the excavation site.

Better get over there.

Why don't you come along? Hmm?

Yeah, why not?

It's a 9mm Largo round.

Huh! That's pretty rare.

We didn't see it at first.

It was hidden by the door mechanism of Diego's car.

It sounds like it maybe passed right through the skull. Don't you think?

And Maria Himenez showed us footage of people queueing for a DNA test.

People who couldn't and wouldn't forget.

They all wanted one thing...

..Closure.

Yeah. That's me. But where you going with this?

Grandfather Tom never come back from the war.

If he was buried here, I wanted to know about it.

Hmm. See, I think there's a reason

you didn't want to tell us that detail.

Once we had the ballistics,

we knew we could be looking for a collector of war memorabilia,

and while you were playing foosball with Max in the bar,

I searched your office and I found this -

an Astra 400 pistol and a box of 9mm shells.

Why don't you tell us what happened, Frank?

FRANK SIGHS

I grew up hearing all about Grandfather Tom

who never came back from the Civil War.

I knew I was no hero,

but the one thing I held on to

was the story of my brave grandfather.

His last letter to my gran was dated August 27th -

just a day before these men were shot.

For ten years, I was so sure he was one of the volunteers

murdered outside the church and buried here.

But when I got the DNA test result -

no match.

It was like I had to grieve for him all over again.

Nah, I couldn't let myself believe it.

Well, you didn't want to let go of the story, did you, Frank?

I just knew it wasn't true.

Maria and her people had to be keeping something from me.

So, I came up here and asked her a straight question.

Are you hiding another body?

Sorry? It's my Grandfather Tom, isn't it?

You are definitely mistaken, Mr Bottomley.

Now, if you'll excuse me. Please.

I could see she was lying.

I knew I was onto something, so I followed her.

I heard enough of the row between Maria Himenez

and Diego Gris to know there was another body,

and I knew it must be Tom.

So...

..I said to Diego, the fascist son of a pig...

Yes? I know what's going on.

Sorry?

My grandfather.

You've found his body.

DIEGO LAUGHS

Don't laugh at me.

Go ahead, you foolish old man.

HE LAUGHS

And you got angrier at Diego and what you thought

Ramon Gris had done to Tom and his comrades.

And I loaded the gun.

CAR HORN BEEPS

Move your car, you idiot.

What are you doing there? Move it!

Take it! Take it all!

GUNSHOT

I thought I was getting revenge for my grandfather.

The one time I find the courage,

and it turns out to be the wrong time.

No-one was hiding the truth about Tom.

No-one but me.

Come on, Frank!

You're going to make a fool of yourself, Frank.

CLICK

You forgot these.

Bloody hell!

Frank!

Tell us the rest of it, Frank.

Tell us where you buried Diego.

Maybe I'll keep that little secret with me.

But what happens when somebody goes looking for Diego?

More violence?

More revenge?

More casualties of a grudge that goes back 80 years?

Is that what your Grandfather Tom would have wanted?

You really want to be just another chapter in that story?

Do the right thing, Frank.

SOBBING

There's always pain when secrets from the past

are dragged into daylight.

Hmm.

Are we still talking about the investigation?

Did I ever tell you about the time I assaulted my detective inspector?

We used to call him The Doctor because he was so hands on.

MAX CHUCKLES

He groped my thigh once too often in the canteen,

so I tipped my chicken curry and sherry trifle in his lap.

I know.

Such an unforgivable loss of control.

No, no, no! I'm impressed.

Also, just a bit disappointed.

Yeah, well, I was thinking you'd Tasered him

or cracked his skull with your baton.

50,000 volts or chicken curry,

it's all the same at the end of the day.
