That girl? She's your mess.
We're gonna need to speak with that compliance manager.
Bruno!
He's making a run for it!
Bruno, no!
If you want us to keep Diego safe,
you need to tell us the truth.
You think Nick was involved with one of these men?
I can't tell you that.
Nick's listed as a signatory of the Tar Le bank accounts.
So, he could have used the charity
to move the 27 million?
Now is not the time to start investigating Tar Le.
And stay away from Alice Heaslip and her sister.
Who are you afraid of, Bruno?
I understand it's a delicate situation,
but we can't ignore this.
You have to be damned sure about this, Norah.
This isn't Tomas.
So Bruno was lying.
We need to speak to Idoia, have her confirm
if Tomas was the person who shot her family.
Police! Stop!
Let her go.
The cops have O'Neill.
Stop the shipments.
I can make the calls,
but there's one already en route.
Fuck.
- Do you want me back at the restaurant?
No, no, no...
Keep your eyes on O'Neill.
Do we have a still of the university CCTV?
In here, with the crime scene photos of the woods
and Adama Seidu's autopsy photo.
Claire.
- There's a delay in processing.
We're stuck outside with the shooter.
Did anything come in on Rafa Carlos?
Still no sign.
Work records are spotty. Mostly cash payments.
- Did you get everything I asked for?
Ready to go. Are you OK?
Add a photo of Alice.
I want to see if he recognises her.
This guy hasn't said a word.
We need to find something that'll make him talk.
No problem.
Jon.
Hey, wake up!
I got him. I got him. Easy.
Easy.
Stay with us.
Shit, we need him alive.
He's breathing.
Jesus, is he going to be okay?
So, what's next?
We go back to Bruno.
With what?
Well, proof that everything he told us was a pack of lies.
Tomas didn't kill Olatz and her family. He did.
Wait.
Dr Bennett.
This is Bureau Forensics Officer 19.
Tell me what you need.
If something is going on, I need to get ahead of it.
Right.
All bank accounts and financial records,
receipts, invoices,
a list of your employees, clients, and suppliers,
contact details for your donors
and funding partners.
We will be discreet,
but we need to confirm the origins of all donations
to determine whether they're legitimate.
Or whether my brother-in-law
was laundering money through our accounts.
Follow me.
Why are we here?
Bruno.
Tomas Torres is in custody?
We know Tomas didn't kill anyone.
This man did.
Unless you're offering a deal,
my client's saying nothing.
Torres recognised him.
But this isn't the man he's afraid of.
Bruno, Tomas, even this guy.
They're all pawns.
This level of control through fear.
It fits with how organised crime gangs operate.
Agreed. But who's in charge?
- Anthony Pearse. - No.
Anthony was just a low-level driver.
I don't buy his reformed- and-rehabilitated act.
But you're buying
that he's running an international crime gang.
Waited his time, kept his mouth shut.
That kind of reputation, maybe he built on that.
Pearse is involved.
Say he is. What's the next step?
First thing tomorrow, we push Bruno to his limit.
Tell him that we found Tomas and he's talking.
You saw Bruno's face
when his solicitor mentioned Tomas.
I don't think we're going to find him.
At least, not alive.
These people don't leave loose ends.
We tell Bruno we're pulling protection from his son.
I'm not saying we actually do it.
Shit. I need to update Dunlop.
You making a habit of keeping me waiting,
DS Wallace?
No, sir.
Sorry, sir.
- Norah and Boylan have made a start on Tar Le.
I need you on it as soon as you get back.
Sir, while I agree
that the Tar Le lead is important,
and I understand the urgency,
I feel that Norah is more than capable.
Of course she is.
But, given the urgency, I want the full team on this.
I don't think our work here in Bilbao is done.
Oh? You've a new lead?
Concrete evidence connecting Heaslip
to the man who killed Olatz Alzola and her family?
No, sir. We're still waiting on an ID for him.
Well, you can just as easily wait here as over there.
Claire...
Oh, Dr Bennett, you being here is...
I know.
But I've just been notified of a diphtheria outbreak
in one of our border camps.
I need to coordinate with my people on the ground.
I can't do that from home.
Of course.
Our IT department
is logged into your system remotely.
So, we will know
if you attempt to access any financial records
or if anything is deleted.
Yeah, we're just waiting on the taxi now.
OK, love, if you're sure.
Yeah, see you then.
Love you, too.
She has this thing about meeting me at the airport.
Claire!
What happened?
Idoia's attacker has been moved to isolation.
He's critical.
Are you coming?
Are you kidding me?
This could be our only chance to talk to him.
We've been ordered home!
Look, I get it, going home means you have to deal
with what happened at the Heaslip...
Sean, that is not what this is about.
But you can't keep ignoring it.
The longer you leave it, the worse it'll get.
And I don't just mean your promotion.
If the situation was reversed,
you'd tell me to cop myself on
and start thinking logically.
I am.
Here's my logic, Sean.
The killer is the connection:
to Heaslip, the murders, everything.
That's why I'm staying.
His liver is failing.
Because of the stab wound?
No, but his immune system is through the floor
and we don't know why.
If he was involved in the trafficking,
he might've picked something up on one of the trips.
We can send you some notes.
Research that might help with the diagnosis.
Can we talk to him?
No, we just managed to stabilise him.
Then I need to take his fingerprints.
Give him space, please.
Oficial Beitia, you can start now,
but please, be careful.
This clearly isn't his first stab wound.
Look, he tried to treat this himself.
You need to step back.
Give him space.
Step back now.
That was an Irish accent.
Sir, can you hear me?
Is it the last of that batch?
We still have a few to get through yet.
Claire?
- Liam, I need you to run some fingerprints.
They're from the guy who shot Olatz Alzola.
I think he's Irish.
I'm on it.
They've got prints
from the killer of Olatz and her family.
Claire thinks he's Irish.
These need a follow up.
Mmm.
Yes. I do understand it's becoming time-sensitive.
Unfortunately Tar Le
can't commit to that date just yet.
Look, I'll call you this evening with an update.
OK?
God.
Liam?
You're right. Your John Doe's name
is Brian O'Neill of Drumcondra Dublin 9.
In and out of foster care until he was 18.
He has a record?
- A few convictions for petty stuff as a minor.
Prints were taken then,
but he hasn't been picked up since.
Send me everything you've got, and keep digging.
- Top priority. - Will do.
I will run a priority search of our records.
Claire.
You've landed already.
No, sir. I'm still in Bilbao.
This better be good, Claire.
Sir, we've IDed the man
who killed Olatz Alzola and her family.
He's Irish.
- Any links to Nick Heaslip? - Not yet, sir.
We've only just got the ID.
But I'd like your approval to look into that here,
in Bilbao.
OK. You've got it.
- And Claire? - Yes, sir?
When did you learn he was Irish?
About an hour
after I decided not to get the flight to Dublin.
I'll need a full explanation
and justification.
But it can wait until you get back.
Yes, sir.
No home address yet, but we have his workplace.
OK.
He hasn't been here for weeks.
So, he just stopped showing up for work?
No, he called me.
Just a family matter, but...
Why? Is he all right?
He's in hospital.
Oh my God.
We're looking for his next of kin.
Let me check.
Sorry, there is no next of kin listed.
- What about a home address? - Yes, of course.
The other drivers...
Would any of them know his family?
I don't think so, but I will ask.
O'Neill's boss just happens to play golf
with Anthony Pearse.
I don't believe in coincidence.
Claire.
If Pearse is behind all this, we need to bring Estévez in
before he tells Pearse we IDed O'Neill.
Bring him in for what? Hiring a guy?
Pearse has been careful.
He's always operating at arm's length,
working through other people.
We've no real evidence against him.
Maybe if we put a tap on Estévez's phone?
Pearse might say something incriminating.
- Detective Liam Boylan. - Liam.
I need you to look for connections
between Brian O'Neill
and Anthony Pearse or Nick Heaslip.
Start with KYV Transport.
See if anything links that company
to Pearse or Heaslip.
OK. On it.
OK.
If you start connecting them with thread,
I'll know you've really lost it.
Welcome back.
Red for you.
As soon as this case is over.
- Where's Claire? - Still in Bilbao.
Right so.
No Liam?
Something he had to do for Claire.
There's your luck.
Nothing we can do.
How are you getting on?
Hopefully quicker now that you're here.
I'm all yours.
- You all right? - Yeah, I just...
I haven't found anything yet.
If I was wrong...
Still a lot to get through, Norah.
Let's get stuck in.
Yeah.
Start with this supplier.
Grace. Didn't you get my email
about working from home?
Yeah, but that's easier
said than done with no notice.
And no explanation.
I know. It's a temporary measure.
What with the protestors and the interview
and all the rest with Nick,
anyone else looking for a headline...
A waste of time doorstepping an empty office.
Yes.
And you said we could do
without negative press right now.
Closing the office isn't a decision
you get to make without me.
I know. I'm sorry.
I spent so much time on the ground
making decisions on my own.
Well, you're not on your own now.
You don't have to do it all.
Tar Le's more than just you.
Exactly.
Come on. Let's grab a bite.
And we can reopen if I've made a mistake.
No, it makes sense.
You all right?
I'm looking for my notes on Heaslip's investors.
I want to compare it to these company owners.
This it?
No, it's in my personal notes.
Must have left it at my desk.
I'll run back and grab it.
And I'll get you a sandwich.
- I just need the notes. - Yeah?
When did you last eat?
Thank you, Sean.
Should be in the top drawer.
You're back.
Norah needed something.
Remember her?
This tall. Often seen at a white board.
Yeah, Claire had a lead.
I followed up and we IDed the murder suspect.
Claire's lead had to take priority.
You were looking for any excuse
to get out of there.
You've no respect for Norah or the work she does.
You said I should have Claire's back.
- What do you mean by that? - Nothing.
It's just...
Well, she's in Bilbao on her own.
If you got your head out of your ass
you'd learn more from Norah in one day
than you have your entire career.
You dote.
This will make it easier
to know which companies to eliminate.
You all right?
Just had a run-in with Liam.
Oh.
Just...
Something he said.
Hit a nerve.
We found this laptop and some files.
Anything financial should be scanned and sent to CAB ASAP.
No problem.
He was going home.
But this boarding pass is for yesterday afternoon.
If he was planning on making a run for it,
what made him change his mind and go back for Idoia?
I doubt it was his choice.
There's a search here for Dr Romero
one day before the attack at the university.
No doubt he's our guy.
Those look like bite marks.
Update on Estévez's surveillance?
No calls to Pearse
and he hasn't moved from his office.
If our visit made him nervous,
he isn't showing it.
Or maybe he doesn't know anything.
We're wasting our time.
I was so sure.
Dunlop warned me, but I had a hunch.
It was the right call.
If it gets out we were here...
We did everything we could
to keep the investigation under the radar.
And if everything we could do wasn't enough?
Instead of all this,
the first thing people will think of
when they hear Tar Le
is fraud and corruption.
Norah.
You can't.
I'd better let Dunlop know.
Norah.
Sir...
I've exhausted all avenues, but...
every company's legit.
And there's no indication
they're paying for any service
that's not being delivered.
No links to Heaslip's clients,
his business accounts, Lichtenstein, nothing.
I see.
Well, let's hope this stays out of the press.
- Yes, sir. - Norah.
It needed to be done.
You were right to check it out.
Thanks.
Is it...
- Hello? - Dr Bennett.
It's CPO Dunlop.
Yes?
We've concluded our investigation
and, as far as we've been able to ascertain,
it doesn't appear that your brother-in-law
was using Tar Le as part of his criminal activities.
Thank you for letting me know.
Of course.
We appreciate your cooperation.
They've cleared Tar Le.
Nick didn't go near it.
Thank god.
Norah, would you take a look at something?
Liam... I've had a total
of 10 minutes at home in the last 24 hours.
I'd be slow to ask me a favour right now.
It's just I've hit a dead end and...
well, I thought with your experience,
you might see something I've missed.
What is it?
O'Neill's employer in Bilbao, KYV.
I'm looking for connections
between Anthony Pearse and Nick Heaslip,
but I've found nothing.
I was right.
Nick Heaslip was using Tar Le.
Maybe we should have waited for Estévez to call Pearse.
The link to Heaslip was enough for a warrant.
Why wait?
Because if there's no evidence
of trafficking in there,
we have nothing.
Let's go.
There's no obvious evidence
of human trafficking in any of the trucks.
Forensics are going to check
for DNA and fingerprints, but...
We just need one print
to match the ones we found in Adama's questionnaires.
- Anything here? - It's too early to tell.
Estévez is old-school.
Most of his records are on paper.
It's going to take some time to go through all this.
We cannot hold him without evidence.
We just need the right leverage to make him talk.
I think we might have found it.
Rafa Carlos, our missing driver.
What is your relationship to this man?
Tony?
He's my friend. We play golf together.
Has Tony ever asked you for any favours?
No. If anything, it was the other way around.
Tony did you favours?
Tony's a good guy.
He'd recommend my company.
Without ever asking you for anything in return?
He'd send new drivers my way sometimes.
Was Brian O'Neill one of those drivers?
And Rafa Carlos?
We found a number of these receipts.
Paying drivers under the table
isn't compliant with regulations, Mr Estévez.
If you are hiding anything else,
you will be charged as an accessory.
To what?
What are you talking about?
There's an update from your team.
I need my solicitor.
According to Norah, Tar Le contracted KYV
after Nick Heaslip joined their board.
We know that O'Neill, a KYV driver,
was killing anyone who knew
about the Torres trafficking operation.
He used a house
that Heaslip had access to for one of the murders,
confirmed by Adama's DNA on O'Neill's glove.
We know that...
Pearse got O'Neill the job at KYV
and we know that Heaslip and Pearse
had a meeting that ended in a confrontation.
But Pearse had an explanation for that.
Yeah, but whatever happened here
scared Nick Heaslip so badly
that he went straight out and stole a gun.
So, you think that Pearse had Heaslip under pressure
and he forced him to get Tar Le to hire KYV?
Yeah, exactly.
Like he had Estévez hire O'Neill.
But that's all circumstantial, Claire.
And, if it goes before a judge...
Pearse could say that Nick asked him
to get O'Neill the job with KYV.
Say it was Nick whose house Adama's body was found in.
That's not enough.
What would be enough?
To show how any of this benefits Pearse.
And why he would want access to Tar Le.
Well, we know that KYV
offers haulage services to Tar Le clinics.
What if they also remove items?
This Estévez guy's records are a mess.
Hazardous and biological waste.
Sanihaz?
Pearse's connection to KYV and Tar Le
gave him access to hundreds of desperate people.
And a way to move them.
But you could say the same thing for Nick Heaslip.
Yeah, but the operation's here.
Pearse is here.
Yeah, you can't run that operation
from a distance.
A setup that complex doesn't match with the scale
of the trafficking operation Bruno described.
It doesn't make sense.
So... Bruno lied.
Told us just enough to keep Pearse out of it.
Ah, he's right. The money we've traced, 252K,
matches what Bruno's done.
Nothing else.
We're still missing something.
O'Neill's doctor.
No. Brian is driver.
He doesn't go in the back of the truck.
And he doesn't handle containers.
But he was in the back of those trucks.
His symptoms prove it.
Only he wasn't loading containers.
He was loading and unloading people.
People trafficking.
- It's a serious crime. - There is no trafficking.
Brian, if he goes in the back of the truck,
he couldn't have been exposed to anything.
Those containers are sealed.
One last thing, Mr Estévez.
Every driver referred to you by Tony Pearse,
we're going to need their names,
their schedules, and their routes.
Sean was right about the people trafficking.
It was a cottage industry, small scale.
But you still think Pearse is involved.
Pearse is how he got the idea.
Bruno knew that customs avoided those trucks.
And that's why Pearse used them.
Just not to move people.
Would you dig through needles and bloody swabs
if you didn't have to?
So you think Pearse is transporting
something in the waste containers.
You heard Estévez.
In order to be exposed,
O'Neill had to have opened them.
With a setup like this,
the quantity of drugs or guns he could move...
would be worth millions.
This theory could persuade a judge.
A theory is all it'll stay
unless we can get hard evidence on Pearse.
- Dunlop. - This is Niamh Bennett.
Dr Bennett.
- I've been in touch with our funders
to confirm the date of the launch.
- I was about to call you to...
But just in case it comes out,
I'd like an official statement
that Tar Le has been excluded from your investigations.
That's not something I can do.
- I understand it's not the usual practice.
Dr Bennett, I was about to call you to let you know
that the investigation is still ongoing.
Into Nick, I know.
You mean into Tar Le.
But I thought you said there was no indication
of money laundering.
Yes, but until the investigation is complete...
Can you tell me what you did find out?
I'm sorry, Dr Bennett.
Goodbye.
Tar Le currently operates seven camps
in three countries.
KYV services routes to those sites. But.
When Tar Le announces their partnership deal,
they'll be expanding into these sites.
Jesus Christ.
An international smuggling network
disguised as a charity.
And we're sure this lad isn't a part of it?
Estévez may dress like he runs a cartel,
but so far his financials check out.
According to Claire,
there's no indication he knew his trucks
were being used for anything illegal.
Why would Nick Heaslip go along with this?
The money it would bring in for Pearse.
I doubt he gave him a choice.
So, Pearse must have had some leverage over him.
Heaslip lost his clients' money.
What if Pearse was one of them?
I doubt Pearse would be the type
to stop at an angry email.
Maybe that's what the meeting was about.
That's what had Heaslip terrified.
The 27 million.
If Pearse is who he owed that money to,
he knew it would come out once we started digging.
O'Neill was originally scheduled for this route,
but when he took his time off,
he was replaced with another of Pearse's drivers.
We need to know when it's due in.
I can check what time it stopped
at the last waste station and get an ETA.
Might take a few minutes.
Even if we find something on that truck,
there's no guarantee we can link it to Pearse.
Once he finds out the truck's been raided, he'll be gone.
But I have my people watching him.
If he runs, we'll know.
OK.
I'll place a surveillance team
to follow the contents once the truck's unloaded.
It might lead to Pearse.
What do you think?
Shit.
The truck is due in tomorrow morning,
so it will arrive in Bilbao just after dawn.
I'm so tired of this.
I thought I'd feel better going back to work.
But half the clinic waiting room
was just people there to gawk at me.
I'm not even seeing patients.
What's wrong, Niamh?
Tell me.
CAB are back investigating Tar Le.
But they said Nick didn't go near it.
They've changed their minds.
It's bad enough already. When this gets out...
Are you fucking kidding me?
What?
Do you ever think of anyone but yourself?
Of course I do!
- Ollie. - Oh, yes.
Your child.
What about all the children that are going to die
because of what your husband's done?
- That's not fair, Niamh. - Grow up, Alice.
Nick destroyed Tar Le.
And, no matter what happens,
I'm always going to be tainted by him.
If you step down, maybe Tar Le would recover.
Step down?
There is no Tar Le without me.
And, without Tar Le...
You'll find something else.
My clinic could use...
You really think I'd trade saving lives
for treating the exaggerated ailments
of rich, white women?
Niamh, what can I do?
You?
Absolutely nothing.
Do you have something new?
No, just... just seeing if there's anything you need.
No, I have to go.
O'Neill was the key.
You were right.
Boss.
Aren't I always?
Thanks, Sean.
O'Neill is dead.
Christ.
- KYV team are in lockdown? - Yes.
There's no way they can tip Pearse off?
No. No calls, no solicitor visits,
no contact with the outside world.
Getting everything in place is going to be tight.
Yeah.
But we will get it done.
There are some beds, Claire. You should get some rest.
I'd rest easier
if I knew exactly how Pearse's system works.
We thought you might feel safer
if it was just the three of us.
We know you speak English, Bruno.
You'd have to.
Given who you work for.
Typical expat, eh, Brunito?
Anthony Pearse. They never learn the language.
You work for Pearse,
unloading the goods that he hides in the medical waste
that KYV transports for Tar Le.
And you had an idea.
Why not do something similar?
You knew the truck drivers.
Tomas had connections to migrants.
For a while, it went well.
But then, Adama worked out what was happening.
And he told Olatz.
Tipping Pearse off.
I imagine he wasn't happy
you bringing a reporter to his door.
He eliminated that threat.
But Pearse is a careful man.
And he told you
if anyone else started asking questions,
you had to lead them away from what he was doing, eh?
If he thinks there's a chance you could talk,
you and your son will never be safe from him.
Well, he killed one family.
What's one more?
I can't. Please, I can't.
If we tell Pearse everything we just told you,
do you think he'll believe you didn't talk?
No, no, no, we have a deal.
The deal was the truth
in exchange for their protection.
And everything you told us was a lie.
It's not too late, Bruno.
Help us lock him up. Take his money, his power.
It's the only way you can keep your family safe.
I want a new deal. No prison time.
- But you need me. - Not that badly.
You preyed on desperate people.
You threw them in the back of trucks
with open containers of biological waste.
You knew how dangerous that was.
Protection for your son.
And your ex-wife.
That's all.
What do I have to do?
There's a truck arriving at Sanihaz at dawn.
We're going to be there to meet it
and you're coming with us
to show us how Pearse's system works.
The Niamh Bennett, giving me a call.
CAB are investigating Tar Le.
OK.
And what's that got to do with me?
Did you have Nick
do something with Tar Le's accounts?
If Nick did something with your accounts,
I knew nothing about it.
So you can fuck off, blaming me.
Then what is it, Tony?
Why are they asking about you?
Don't worry about it.
You just focus on keeping that mouth shut.
Or what? What happened to the man in the villa,
or what almost happened to my sister,
will happen to me?
I'd never have let her go there if you'd told me...
Told you what?
Who the fuck do you think you're talking to?
I need to know, Tony.
Don't start asking questions
that you don't want the answer to.
You knew full well who you were getting into bed with.
You just thought it was worth it.
