00:01Nick Kieslip.
00:02What's this about?
00:03I'm Detective Sergeant Claire Wallace of the Criminal Assets Bureau.
00:06I have a warrant under Section 6.
00:08If I break client confidentiality, my business is finished.
00:10You're afraid we're going to find the 27 million in there?
00:13Down!
00:14Down!
00:18We want to remember that Ola Sarzola was a very respected investigative journalist
00:23and, also, a very extraordinary person.
00:27Down!
00:30I didn't expect to see you today with all the bad press.
00:33My sister needs her family's passports.
00:35Do you plan on leaving the country, Mrs. Cieslip?
00:37It's our family's holiday holiday holiday in Bilbao.
00:39You think of the 27 million there?
00:41Are you sure that Ola Sarzola was not working on a new case?
00:44I had something, but I was going to tell her when I came back.
00:47I'm going to need to talk to her.
00:49When I said to wait for me at the airport, that wasn't the suggestion.
00:53If the money is in that house, or if Alice is meeting someone,
00:57I don't want to risk tipping them off.
00:59Tell me who you sent that envelope to, will you?
01:01Luna!
01:23Run as fast as you can and get in the car, okay?
01:27I'll be right behind you.
01:29Run!
01:32Run!
01:33Run!
01:40Alice!
01:41What's going on?
01:42In the house.
01:43He has a gun.
01:44We need to get them out of here.
01:47I'm not losing sight of that house.
01:55Claire.
01:56If Alice was here to meet someone, she might just be buying them time to get out.
01:59Update Velasco.
02:00Ask for backup.
02:01Give me the nail.
02:20Possible gunshot.
02:33No one's exited the house.
02:35We need to get in there.
02:37You're unarmed.
02:38It's not protocol.
02:39Wait here for a backup.
02:41Okay.
02:50What are you doing?
03:06She's on her own, Sean.
03:08Fair.
03:11She was clear.
03:12We need to wait for arm support.
03:16Just be careful, okay?
03:20Livis.
03:38A useful lift.
03:39Please come to the basement.
03:50Come on.
04:19When he slipped, I wasn't expecting this.
04:27Neither was I.
04:49When he slipped, I was expecting this.
05:20Help Velasco secure the seat.
05:23Go ahead. I'll stay with her.
05:35Tell me what you found.
05:40Who's the man in the basement?
05:42I don't know. I couldn't see his face.
05:45Not the man with the gun.
05:48The other man.
05:49There were two of them.
05:52Were you here to meet him?
05:53I'm not here to meet anyone.
05:56But someone else got here first.
05:58Why are you here?
06:00I need you to focus, Alice.
06:02Tell me what happened.
06:04I came here to get my son away from all of this.
06:08But it's followed us, hasn't it?
06:32John.
06:33Go ahead.
06:37El móvil de prepago de Olatz recibió llamadas del teléfono de una biblioteca pública.
06:42Y ella realizó llamadas a dos números diferentes.
06:45Vale, pues uno de ellos la llamó aquí hace dos meses.
06:49¿Reconoces el número?
06:51No.
06:52Vale, otra cosa.
06:57Los cuadernos que me has dado por la mañana están llenos de esto.
07:03Es su taquigrafía personal.
07:06¿Puedes leerla?
07:07No sabría por dónde empezar.
07:10Ya te lo dije, no sabía en qué estaba trabajando.
07:12¿Y esto?
07:15Son copias de las notas viejas.
07:17Las que cogí de la mesa de Olatz el día de su muerte.
07:19E-N-V-E-S.
07:30Entrevista.
07:37Sha significa jefe en círílico.
07:40El pez es por el nombre Rivar.
07:44Esto es del caso de la banda de los Balcanes.
07:46Lo que pasa es que no veo estos símbolos en las nuevas páginas.
07:50Claro.
07:51Porque el nuevo caso no está relacionado con el caso de los Balcanes.
07:55Pero.
07:57¿Tú cómo descifraste estas notas?
07:59Bueno.
08:00Pude compararlos con un trabajo que me mandó.
08:03Entonces sabes cómo trabajaba.
08:06Amaya, ayúdame con esto.
08:08Dime por lo menos qué significan los símbolos que reconoces.
08:10Si te ayudo, ¿podrás poner a salvo sus fuentes?
08:16Haré lo que pueda.
08:22Tenemos el lugar cercado y todas las pruebas marcadas con nombres, números y...
08:26No signos de necesidad de dinero, no paperwork, nada.
08:34Maybe Velasco has algo.
08:42Alice and her son.
08:44I had them sent to the station.
08:46Any update on the shooter?
08:47No sign of anyone on the grounds or at the neighboring properties.
08:52Forensics find anything?
08:54They were gloved, so no fingerprints.
08:56Not even where they pulled off the van cover.
08:59And there was no sign of forced entry.
09:01So whoever it was, they didn't break in.
09:05Alice has to know more than she's admitting.
09:11Any ID?
09:12No, not on him.
09:13But if he has a record, then his prints will be on file.
09:17Alice would need help to move 27 million in cash out of the country.
09:22If her victim was a money mule...
09:25Maybe the killer took the cash.
09:32Any progress with the Liechtenstein account?
09:35No movement.
09:36They wouldn't even confirm any link to the name Nicky slips out of any of his companies.
09:40Anything I can help with?
09:44Have you any pull with the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority?
09:49No.
09:51We should put in a request to your pull.
09:53Maybe the banks will budge if they feel like they're coming under their radar.
09:58Anything else?
10:00I'm still working on it.
10:01But I think I found something new.
10:04When Heaslip's investments failed,
10:07he made a real push to sign new clients,
10:08small investors, whoever he could get.
10:11This isn't new.
10:12Yes, sir, but when we last spoke,
10:14we thought he used these funds to try and rebuild his portfolio.
10:17I'm guessing you thought wrong.
10:19When I looked into it,
10:20I couldn't find evidence he made any new investments.
10:23However, I was able to trace some of the money deposited with Heaslip
10:26by this new batch of clients.
10:28It was transferred straight to his original high-network clients,
10:32paid out to them as investment returns.
10:34A Ponzi scheme.
10:37Looks like.
10:38He took advantage of a lot of vulnerable people to keep himself afloat.
10:42There'd be a lot less sympathy in the press for Heaslip now.
10:49I'll talk to the Garda press office.
10:51It'll come out sooner or later.
10:54Do your best to get ahead of it.
10:56Yeah.
10:56I have seats booked on the next fight home.
11:14If you need to speak with me, it can happen there.
11:17Alice, last night someone tried to kill you and your son.
11:20You need to speak to us now.
11:22I need to be with my son.
11:25Alice.
11:27There were two men in your home.
11:30I believe you knew at least one of them.
11:32I don't know what you're talking about.
11:36There was no sign of a break-in.
11:38That means one of them had a key.
11:41Did you give it to them?
11:43Or was it Nick?
11:44We haven't been here in over a year.
11:47We couldn't have given anyone a key.
11:49You've never given a key to anyone.
11:50Not a neighbour, cleaner.
11:53No.
11:57We've evidenced that Nick embezzled 27 million euro of client funds.
12:0227 million?
12:05We haven't been able to trace it.
12:07So when we heard you were coming to Bilbao, we followed.
12:09Wait, you think it's in the house?
12:12And found a dead man.
12:14It's possible that he was killed because he was involved in Nick's operation.
12:18My husband didn't have any operation.
12:20He certainly never had 27 million euros.
12:25He did, Alice.
12:29And I think the man with the gun was looking for it.
12:33We thought you might have it.
12:34If he thinks the same thing, he will come after you.
12:38If you don't share what you know with us, we can't do much to stop him.
12:42But I don't know anything.
12:43I think...
12:43Maybe you do.
12:49And you just don't realise it.
12:51Think.
12:52Did Nick say or do anything that seems important now, when you look back?
12:56Nick...
12:57He was stressed.
13:00More so recently.
13:03But he didn't tell me why.
13:07Could he have gotten caught up in something?
13:10Without meaning to?
13:14No.
13:14Alice, I saw how scared Nick was just before he...
13:23Just before he what?
13:29You were there.
13:34Why didn't you stop him?
13:35Nora, I have a few things for you.
13:54What do you need?
13:56Alice said they haven't been here in a year.
13:59But I'm wondering if her husband was making trips she wasn't aware of.
14:02Also, we have a theory that our John Doe was transporting money for Heslip.
14:06See if you can find any links to bank accounts in the Basque Territory or Spain that could confirm that.
14:11And last thing.
14:13Alice is heading back to Dublin.
14:15Tell Liam I want her watched.
14:16We need to know where she goes, who she talks with.
14:19And if anyone else is watching her.
14:21Okay.
14:22Thanks.
14:28Veitia.
14:31Sí.
14:33¿Y habéis chequeado que sea el teléfono que llama a la oficina?
14:37Vale.
14:38Vale, sí, no.
14:38Dame un momento.
14:40A ver.
14:42No, no, espera.
14:46Vale, dale.
14:50Dama...
14:51Sierra, eco, india, delta, uniforme, seidú.
14:57Vale.
14:59Vale, gracias.
14:59Gracias.
15:00Chao.
15:01No será lo que me dijo Maya.
15:06Entrevista, eso es.
15:07Entrevista a Dama Seidú.
15:08They think he was held in a stressed position for some time.
15:16Could be punishment.
15:18Or the killer needed some information.
15:21Do you think he got what he wanted?
15:23Not if Alice interrupted them.
15:27Either way, we need to figure out who this is.
15:30Nothing from fingerprints, DNA, missing persons.
15:35He's in his early 20s, in good health, no signs of drug use.
15:40Oh, we did find something.
15:42Uh, we found it in his pocket.
15:50It's Invisalign.
15:52Brace is for adults.
15:54Pricey, but you get a perfect smile.
15:55So not what you'd usually see in someone desperate enough to carry large sums of cash across international borders.
16:05Any indication of what this is?
16:07Yes, we found that crumpled up in the victim's pockets.
16:12It's not legible, but forensics is working on a reconstruction.
16:24Route 2, university student residencies.
16:27Route 2, university student residencies.
16:57I'm working my way through Heathcliff's accounts.
17:25Started on the financials.
17:27Nothing jumping out yet.
17:30No social media report?
17:33I'll wait to hear back on that one.
17:41Boylan?
17:42Sir, the gun Heslip used has just been ID'd as belonging to a Simon Kearns.
17:46And I just followed him and Alice Heslip from the airport to her sister's house.
17:53Is he still there?
17:54No, sir.
17:55When I got the ID, he'd already left.
17:56I thought it best to inform you, ASAP.
18:00You did right.
18:01What's your next move?
18:02We bring him in.
18:03But we approach him carefully.
18:05He's got more guns registered, not just pistols, shotguns and rifles, too.
18:09The last thing we want is another shootout.
18:13We know anything about Kearns?
18:15Anything come up in the initial investigation?
18:17I don't recognise the name.
18:19Liam?
18:20Bring Kearns in ASAP.
18:22Cross every T dot every I.
18:24After the Heslip incident, G-Suck and the press will be all over, see if we make one wrong move.
18:30Absolutely, sir.
18:35See what you can find out about this Kearns.
18:37I'll mind it.
18:45Losing two homes in as many days...
18:50...it'll be hard on the kid.
18:54Yeah.
18:59I grew up near this park.
19:02Loved it.
19:03Great trees.
19:05Class playground.
19:08I had one of those huge slides you can't have today.
19:11Guess I might send the kids into this stratosphere.
19:15Best kind.
19:16Yeah.
19:17When I was 13, some of the bigger lads kicked the shit out of me there.
19:22Right beside the slide.
19:24Still can't go back to that park.
19:28I'm sorry.
19:30I know I don't understand how you feel about what happened with Heslip.
19:36But if you want to tell me...
19:38...it's okay not to be okay.
19:46Well, it's okay to be okay.
19:47I just meant...
19:58That piece of paper?
20:01It's a receipt for our hostel.
20:08Let's go.
20:08How do you know this woman?
20:20She was my friend's wife.
20:23You're referring to Nick Heslip?
20:26Yeah.
20:27How do you know Mr. Heslip?
20:29We went to school together.
20:31Look, why'd you bring me here?
20:32What was so urgent?
20:34You needed to speak with Mr. Heslip's widow as soon as she returned from Bilbao.
20:38Her husband just died.
20:47She didn't feel up to getting a taxi, so I collected her and Oddie from the airport.
20:51It's what friends do.
20:53Now what the bloody hell is this about?
20:55This is about your involvement in Nick Heslip's crimes.
21:00My involvement?
21:01Is that why you really met with Alice?
21:06I didn't.
21:09Look, I wasn't involved in anything.
21:11I never even invested with Nick.
21:13I'm an architect, okay?
21:14Not some kind of gangster.
21:16An architect with an arsenal.
21:19They're for sports shooting, for Christ's sake.
21:21So you didn't know anything, you're not involved.
21:25That's what I'm trying to tell you.
21:26Then why did Nick kill himself with your gun?
21:31No.
21:33No, I...
21:35No, I couldn't be one of mine.
21:40No, just take me home.
21:41I can show you.
21:41Take a seat, Mr. Kearns.
21:43We already sent someone to your home to check exactly that.
21:49That couldn't be.
21:49My guns are all secured and safe.
21:55I've got kids, for God's sake.
21:57I'd never risk.
21:59No.
22:01You have three pistols registered in your name, Mr. Kearns.
22:07The one that's missing from the safe...
22:11is the one that killed your friend.
22:13No.
22:18No.
22:19Why did you want to meet here?
22:42Alice?
22:43Hey.
22:43Eve.
22:44You okay?
22:45Glad to see you.
22:46You sounded so panicked when you called.
22:49Why are you back?
22:52In Bilbao.
22:55At the house.
22:57A man tried to kill us.
23:00And Kearn found a body in the basement.
23:05What?
23:07Jesus, Alice.
23:09Kearn thinks it has something to do with Nick.
23:12They're saying he's stole 27 million euros.
23:18We never had 27 million euros.
23:23That Wallace woman, you'd have seen...
23:27She kept at me with questions.
23:31Implying that I was a part of something.
23:33If she's wrong about you, maybe she's wrong about everything.
23:37Look.
23:38I'm gonna go back to the office, get my stuff.
23:40I'll take you home and we can talk this through.
23:43Okay?
23:43Is she...
23:43What if there was something?
23:48Something I should have noticed?
23:50Something I missed?
23:51You'll go out of your mind thinking like that.
23:53Right now, you have to think of you and Ollie.
23:56Ollie's all I think about.
24:00And he doesn't know why he can't see Nick to say goodbye.
24:04And I don't know how to explain it to him
24:07without making him wonder what it is I don't want him to see.
24:11I've told him we're burying his dad down the country
24:13so that Nick can be beside his grandparents.
24:15But really, it's because I'm worried about photographers in the church
24:18or, God forbid, at the gravesite.
24:23Every other word I say to him is a lie.
24:25It's for his own good.
24:27We're trying to protect him.
24:29Which is what a mom is supposed to do.
24:32Then I'm a pretty shit mom.
24:41Simon.
24:44Can you think of how Nick got his hands on the code to the safe?
24:51It's my wife's birthday.
24:53Probably the first idea he tried.
25:01Do you know when he took the gun?
25:04I haven't used that one for months.
25:08Sorry.
25:08God.
25:10God, if only you...
25:12God, if I just...
25:14No, that's...
25:14That's helpful, Simon.
25:17Simon.
25:22I need to ask you more about Nick.
25:26Yeah.
25:28Sorry.
25:29Yeah.
25:31Okay.
25:34When did you last see Nick?
25:36Sorry.
25:42Tennis.
25:44We play, uh...
25:45Well, we used to play twice a week.
25:47Did you notice anything unusual?
25:50Did he seem anxious or worried?
25:53No, it would have been unusual if he wasn't worried.
25:59He'd been stressed for months.
26:02Money worries.
26:04Makes sense now.
26:08Alice told us the change in his mood was more recent.
26:12But if she knew it all, then it got very bad.
26:15Nick did...
26:16He hid things.
26:23You don't think he would have confided in her?
26:26No.
26:27He'd never tell her.
26:30Especially if it was something dodgy.
26:33He didn't like to worry her.
26:43What is it, Simon?
26:46Last month,
26:51Nick showed up one evening with a bottle of whiskey
26:54and just drank.
27:00Was that out of character for Nick?
27:02I liked to drink, sure, but...
27:05not a bottle.
27:07Passed out on the sofa in my study
27:09where the safe is.
27:16Must have been when he...
27:17when he took the gun.
27:20Did he say what had him so upset?
27:25Just that...
27:26an important meeting hadn't gone well.
27:30Do you know who you met with?
27:32No.
27:34You wouldn't talk about it.
27:35I need to know exactly when this was.
27:42My wife...
27:43was out with the kids.
27:48I texted her a heads up that Nick was over
27:50in a...
27:51in a bad state.
27:55Thursday.
27:56At eight.
27:57Three weeks ago.
27:58But Eastlip's diary says the meeting was at six.
28:02Is there a name in the visitor's log?
28:08And nothing in the emails either?
28:14Right.
28:18Security cameras.
28:19Thanks.
28:30Where are you on Karen's connections to Eastlip?
28:34Hi, Leem.
28:35How are you?
28:36I'm well, thanks.
28:38Nothing out of the ordinary.
28:40Small transfers every now and then.
28:41What you'd expect from friends
28:43paying each other back for dinner and so on.
28:44Yes, no unexplained sources of funds.
28:47No trouble with revenue for himself
28:49or his architecture practice.
28:50No.
28:51No signs of money you shouldn't have.
28:53And the gun club story seems legit.
28:55There's a long-standing direct debit for the fees.
28:58Okay.
29:00So nothing to contribute what you told me?
29:02No.
29:05Good work.
29:06I'll be checking in to the other lead you gave
29:08if you need me.
29:13No.
29:19Found it.
29:30I found it.
29:34Adama Seydou, PhD student at the University of the Basque Country.
29:39What can you tell us about him?
29:44Not much.
29:45He was staying for a few weeks,
29:47but he kept to himself.
29:49Quiet.
29:50Polite.
29:52Well, except for the last time I saw him.
29:54How so?
29:55Well, he was in a hurry and he wanted stamps
29:57and I wasn't moving fast enough for him.
30:00Did you see what he was posting?
30:02Was it a package?
30:03No, more like a fat letter.
30:06A bit risky sending cash in the post.
30:09Maybe that's what got him in trouble.
30:11He's in trouble.
30:13Maybe.
30:14Why?
30:15Well, he was asking for directions to the police station.
30:19He's booked in for another week,
30:21but when he didn't come back for his thing,
30:22should I have called someone?
30:24What things?
30:25Well, he took his camera and a backpack,
30:26but his luggage is still in his room.
30:28We're going to need to see that room.
30:30Yeah.
30:31Room six.
30:34Yes.
30:44Claire.
30:45We just identified the body from the Bennet Holiday Home,
30:48about international.
30:49His name is Adama Sadu.
30:51Maybe now we have a name,
30:52I'll find something else we missed.
30:54What do you mean?
30:55I've just identified the gun owner,
30:57a friend of Eastland,
30:58who wasn't flagged in the initial investigation.
31:00This friend,
31:03did he have any financial connections to Eastland?
31:05No, but still we should have...
31:07He'd been convicted of a crime?
31:10Does he have any criminal associates?
31:16No.
31:16And the gun?
31:21He's a gun club member,
31:23sports shooting,
31:24that kind of thing.
31:25So he's a friend of Nick Eastlips,
31:26with no financial connections.
31:28Who owns guns,
31:29I presume legally.
31:32And you think that should have made us flag him?
31:33Liam,
31:39if you notice something I'm overlooking,
31:42or you think we need to prioritize a lead,
31:44I want you to speak up.
31:46In the moment.
31:49But if you're just trying to get a dig in,
31:50after the fact,
31:52I'd prefer you keep it to yourself.
31:56Is that clear?
31:58Yeah, that's clear.
31:59Tell me what you find on Sidhu.
32:09There's nothing in there.
32:12Someone got here before us?
32:16How far is it to the university?
32:19About an hour.
32:21Okay, let's go.
32:29Clare,
32:34nothing suspicious in a damn Mercedes travel or finances.
32:39No trips to Ireland,
32:40no links to Eastlip.
32:42Whatever connects them,
32:43I haven't found it yet.
32:54Why would he pay for a hostel
32:56instead of commuting from here?
32:57If he felt he was in danger,
33:00maybe he wanted to keep some separation
33:01between what he was doing
33:02and where he lived.
33:06His door is open.
33:23Boncilla, baja la pistola ya.
33:26Oficial Betia?
33:26Oficial Lory Velasco.
33:34Es raro estar al otro lado de la pistola, eh?
33:39It's okay.
33:40East police.
33:42Oficial John Betia.
33:45And your colleagues?
33:47Oficial Velasco?
33:48Detective Sergeant Claire Wallace.
33:50Detective Sergeant Sean Prendergast.
33:51Oficial Betia is investigating the murder on Ola Tzathora.
33:55She was one of our best reporters.
33:57She was murdered together with our family.
34:00Only her daughter survived.
34:02But why do you have an interest in Adam Acehdo?
34:04We could ask you the same thing.
34:06We're with the Irish Criminal Assets Bureau.
34:09We found Adama's body in the course of an investigation.
34:11When was this?
34:13Last night.
34:15We just got the ID.
34:18Adam and Ola Tz were in contact shortly before she died.
34:21But I don't know why.
34:23And someone got here before me.
34:25Emptied the place.
34:27And the PC...
34:28Well...
34:29He was thorough.
34:37Smashed what he could and threw water on the computer.
34:40Any sign of a forced entry?
34:44Not that I can see.
34:47A forensics team is on the way.
34:48They might find something.
34:51You don't think so?
34:53This case...
34:55Nothing in it's come easy.
34:59How did your case lead you to discover a dead body here in Bilbao?
35:29We were investigating an Irish businessman.
35:32Nick Heaslip.
35:33We needed to search a property he had access to here.
35:36Search for what?
35:38Money.
35:40Heaslip ripped off a lot of wealthy clients.
35:42That could be something Olaz was interested in.
35:45But how does he do fit in?
35:48That we don't know.
35:51We do know he was trying to contact the police before he was killed.
35:54I don't know.
35:58Adama Zidou was my only lead.
36:03Now I have nothing.
36:06I think we could get further.
36:08And faster.
36:09If we were together.
36:11With respect, I don't think that's a good idea.
36:14Why?
36:14You can't think it's a coincidence that Olazola and Zidou were both killed after being in contact.
36:21No, but the Olazola case is high profile.
36:24And his priority now will be finding their killers.
36:27And not trying to find the connection between Zidou and Heaslip.
36:31Or trying to find your money.
36:33Lore, that's out of line.
36:34But we just handed you another body.
36:36Vale, vale.
36:36You are not wrong.
36:39But I have hit a wall.
36:41And there's a little girl in the hospital.
36:43And she's all that is left of that family.
36:46I really need to find whoever did that to her.
36:49Okay?
36:50He's right.
36:51Neither of us wants to waste time redoing the other's work.
36:54We both have parts of the puzzle.
36:56If we work together, we have a better chance of filling in the gaps.
37:00Our IT experts should take a look at Zidou's computer ASAP.
37:04Do your experts speak Spanish?
37:07In that case, they will have to wait until my experts finish.
37:10But you just said that we could work together.
37:12Yeah, I said we'll work together.
37:14But this is still my jurisdiction.
37:16And as Claire said, we don't want to waste time.
37:20Our forensic accountant is looking into financial links between Zidou and Heaslip.
37:24We should give her a heads up to add Olazola as well.
37:29Nora.
37:29The raid on Nick Heaslip's Irish residence looked like it would be a routine operation.
37:38Based on information received, we obtained warrants for both his home and his office.
37:42The raid on Nick Heaslip.
39:09I'm sorry, we need to make a call.
39:25I'm just calling her daughter.
39:32Same time every day.
39:36I'm just calling to say goodnight to Alana.
39:38She's had my mom's tonight.
39:40Anyway, you're an hour early.
39:41Oh, of course.
39:45You had that meeting.
39:46Sorry.
39:47I'm up to my eyes here.
39:49It slipped my mind.
39:51I'll call her there.
39:55What's wrong, Claire?
39:56Did she suck?
39:57No, it's nothing to do with them.
39:58Sorry, I'm going to have to stay in Bilbao for a little while.
40:04What's the while?
40:06I don't know.
40:07But as soon as I find out, I'll let you know.
40:10Dunlap can't do this.
40:11He's taking advantage.
40:13It wasn't Dunlap.
40:14It was my decision.
40:15Your decision?
40:16Please don't start, Aidan.
40:20It's important.
40:22Of course it is.
40:23It always is.
40:27I'll call tomorrow.
40:29Explain it to Alana.
40:32I love you.
40:38I love you, too.
40:39I love you, too.
40:46Look at this.
40:59I couldn't see it right away because I wasn't looking for it.
41:03But once I had an idea,
41:05all it took was a data analysis of Heaslub's client records.
41:11Can you go back a step, Nora?
41:14Right.
41:15Sorry.
41:15On my third coffee.
41:19We thought Heaslub set up a classic Ponzi scheme.
41:22Early clients gets fabulous profits and keeps getting them.
41:26Yes, of course.
41:27They give more money.
41:27They sign up their friends.
41:29And you keep it going for as long as you can
41:31while you skim off the top,
41:33using the money to fund a lifestyle
41:34you couldn't otherwise afford.
41:43Heaslub stopped paying out to his clients.
41:45Exactly.
41:48He did it for a few weeks.
41:49Then he just stopped.
41:51Even though the money coming from the new investors
41:54was enough to keep faking good returns.
41:56Yeah, you're right.
41:57It doesn't track.
41:57And there's no sign he used it to fund a lavish lifestyle.
42:01It's the opposite.
42:03He laid off staff,
42:05cashed in his pension,
42:06cancelled the golf club membership.
42:08So where's all the money gone?
42:10The same place as the 27 million.
42:14Those small transactions to the Lichtenstein account,
42:17they match whatever he could get his hands on
42:19in the days before each transfer.
42:20Yeah, client money, personal money,
42:22everything he got,
42:23he sent it there.
42:24And he never pulled from the Lichtenstein account,
42:26even when he was short on the mortgage.
42:28He waited for client money to come in.
42:30All right, so we know where the money went.
42:33The question is why.
42:35I mean, maybe he suspected Cab was on to him,
42:38wanted to move what he could out of the country and run.
42:40That's what I thought.
42:42But then the bank in Lichtenstein
42:43finally deigned to call me back.
42:45They're playing ball?
42:45No.
42:46Despite the criminal case,
42:47they can't tell us anything.
42:49Because Heslip
42:50hasn't been the beneficiary of the account for months.
42:53They can't tell us who is, of course.
42:55Of course.
42:58So he's been transferring every cent
43:00he could beg, borrow, or steal
43:01to a bank account he no longer has access to.
43:04Exactly.
43:06Heslip didn't take the money for himself,
43:08it was for someone else.
43:09Someone he needed to pay.
43:11And when he couldn't,
43:12he was so scared he shot himself.
43:15The question is who.
43:17Who was he so afraid of?
43:20I might have a lead on that.
43:23After meeting with this man,
43:24Heslip went to Cairns' house,
43:26drank half a bottle of whiskey
43:27and stole a gun.
43:29I don't think it was a friendly meeting.
43:32I don't recognize him.
43:34We need to find someone who does.
43:39Olaz Al-Sola's last big story
43:41was on a Balkan-organized crime gang.
43:43So if Nick Heslip
43:44was laundering money for them, then...
43:46And if you thought the cab ride
43:48might expose him,
43:49that could explain his level of fear.
43:51Except Olaz was working on a new story,
43:53nothing to do with the Balkan gang.
43:57Well, I damaged the due as the link.
43:59We just have to figure out how.
44:01Why would an investigative reporter
44:02call a PhD student?
44:04No, no, no, no.
44:05I think you've misunderstood.
44:07It was Obama who reached out to Olaz.
44:09He called her office first.
44:11It was a short incoming call.
44:12After that,
44:13all the communication was through her burner.
44:15Okay.
44:18Why would a PhD candidate
44:20call an investigative reporter?
44:23Sadhu's home was ransacked.
44:25Paper were gone,
44:26computer destroyed.
44:28Just like Alfala's home.
44:29There has to be something
44:32in Sadhu's research.
44:34Something he found
44:35that made him contact Olaz.
44:36Whatever it is,
44:37someone's gone out of their way
44:38to make sure no one else sees it.
44:40His university webpage
44:42is giving his supervisor
44:43as Doctor Aizia Romero.
44:46She'd know the details of his work.
44:48We need to figure out
44:49what Sadhu learned.
44:51I got them both killed.
44:51I got them both killed.
45:21I got them both killed.
45:51I don't know.
46:21I don't know.
46:51I don't know.
47:21I don't know.
47:51I don't know.
