[Gus] I wasn't speeding, and I'm below the limit. What is this?
Are you refusing to obey a lawful instruction from an officer?
[Gus] Trevor.
Do it.
Mess him up.
They fired him.
Good. So they took your complaint seriously.
Yeah. I guess so.
Here are the DNA test results I found.
[Nina] Wanda won't find out from me.
-I have to go pick up my kid. -Kid?
[Andre] Nina, what the hell?
[police officer] I'm arresting you on suspicion of offences
under the Fraud and Theft Acts.
[Wanda] I found it after the funeral. Mum said to keep it quiet.
Who set me up?
It's time to catch a thief.
[whirring]
I don't understand. You called the police on me.
What's she doing here?
You should have answered my calls, Dre.
A lot of money disappeared and the evidence points very clearly to you.
-Too clearly. -Stop with the riddles.
I had to let your arrest play out.
I wanted to see how far he was willing to go.
Who?
Gideon.
-If it's illegal shit, I'm out. -Alesha!
[Wanda sighs]
Okay, he's gone.
-Diamonds? -[Gus] Hold on.
Ugh. I was hoping it would be a bitcoin or something.
You know bitcoin is an intangible currency...
Yeah, okay, I was joking.
Oh, my days.
-What? -What does it say?
Dad had a life insurance policy.
-How much? -What!
Oh!
£55 million.
-Oh, my God. -Oh, my God!
[they laugh]
Wait. Who's the beneficiary?
Us. And Mum.
[Nina] From the moment we arrived,
it felt like you and Claudia were always one step ahead of us.
Gideon kept being blindsided by the shareholder's vote, by Uncle Dele.
-And? -[Simon] What she's saying is...
it's kind of suspicious, you being that far ahead of Gideon
and all his years of experience. That doesn't track.
After the vote, I started thinking
it didn't even seem like Gideon was trying,
so I suggested you as a suspect just to see what he'd do,
and he grabbed you like a lifeline.
I still wasn't sure until Davina called me.
About a year ago,
I had to chase a repayment from one of our distributors.
They kept saying that they'd paid us,
but it wasn't showing in any of our accounts.
So why didn't you tell me?
I was going to, but then Gideon called one day.
He said something about a corporate thing
with some different accounts
-when he was at Flair. -And you believed him?
He's on the board. I did what I was told
and the money ended up in the right account.
So, Gideon kept control of certain client accounts?
[Nina] More than that.
He opened new accounts in your name.
You appear to be the authorised signatory.
That's bullshit.
I don't know anything about these accounts.
All the evidence points to you.
You were always gonna be his fall guy.
I'm betting he's been lining his pockets for years.
The amounts got bigger once you stepped on the scene.
So, why don't we go to the police, hm? I can clear my name.
You need to slow your roll.
-We don't have enough evidence. -But you said...
I said I'm sure it's Gideon.
But a concrete, smoking gun, I don't have that.
Then what am I doing here?
Why am I wasting my time if you've got nothing?
Screw this, man. I'm out.
He's talking like a man with options.
-Right? -Go ahead.
Carry your Black ass out of here
and take your chances with the British legal system.
Go.
[sighs]
I want my life back.
If you wanna help yourself, then you have to help us.
[sighs]
How?
We build a case against Gideon.
Together.
Are you in?
[theme music playing]
I packed some of your things.
-You're lucky she doesn't hold a grudge. -That part.
You don't have a plan.
We could have left your ass in jail.
Davina caught one of Gideon's mistakes.
Maybe he's made others.
When? Hm? Where?
That's what we need to figure out.
Andre, comb through Gideon's finances.
Track and cross-reference everything.
He won't be expecting to be under this much of a microscope.
Okay.
He can't know we're on to him.
Do we know he was acting alone?
Maureen?
Nah. No. Stealing money...?
-I don't buy it. -[text alert]
-It's Gideon. -What does he want?
Probate has been granted. He'll have papers for us to sign tomorrow.
Okay. We need to move fast.
If he figures out what we're doing, then that money trail disappears
and any chance of clearing your name or recovering that money is gone.
-And then we're all fucked. -Yeah.
[phone ringing]
[sighs]
[phone continues ringing]
Oh, she's not picking up!
This is too good to be true. We need to get it checked out.
Okay. I'm calling Gideon.
Yeah, he'll know what to do.
What the hell?
Alesha, come on!
Coming.
[Simon] Do you think Andre will find anything?
If anyone has incentive...
Gideon has been lying to us from the start.
Mum was lying to us about Stephen.
Who are we supposed to trust?
I wanna give you my shares.
-What? -You want this. I do not.
But he left it to both of us.
It was you he called, not me.
I get why this is important to you.
You remember him.
You were always so driven, and I've always known
it was because you were trying to prove something to him.
My life is with Ido in New York.
I'm sorry, Nina.
Oh, don't be.
You don't have to be sorry.
At least I'm not giving my shares to Mom.
[woman on laptop] I was gifted this Flair And Glory Just Me Spritz product
in exchange for an honest review.
Now, listen, truly, this stuff is so good.
My scalp feels healthy and hydrated...
And you can see how the...
[video stops]
[Alesha] "Dear Mr Richards,
"Further to our consultation,
"our conclusion is that you cannot legally adopt Wanda Richards
"under English law as she's no longer a minor..."
What the fuck?
[text alert]
What's her name?
This is a casual thing. You don't have to ask.
What if I wanted it to be more than casual?
Well, I come as a package, Gus.
Look, it's fine. If you wanna run, then run.
That's what you really think of me?
Well, I'm just saying...
I'm...
I'm not running anywhere.
I can't really run in these Gucci slippers, anyway.
Idiot!
What's her name?
Leah.
It's a good name.
[Sasha] Hm.
[indistinct chattering]
-Cosy. -Very.
Morning.
-[Nina] Gideon. Maureen. -[Gideon] Nina. Simon.
Girl!
I'll file this with probate and we can make it official.
Stephen would be proud of you.
Hm.
Any word from the forensic accountant?
Unfortunately not.
That money didn't just disappear into thin air.
It would seem Andre is brighter than any of us ever gave him credit for.
Hm. Maybe he'll talk, now that he's been arrested.
One can only hope.
I'll file these documents and check in with Thomas.
Thank you.
He's cool.
He'd have to be, to steal that much money.
Claudia, when did you come down?
Ah, spur of the moment.
I had to get away.
After all you've been through, I can understand.
Ah, you're always spoiling me.
Scrub your hands first.
You don't want to get sick.
The Romans used to use the Belladonna for poison.
They called it the husband killer.
[laughs]
You and your Wikipedia.
Sorry to disturb you.
What's that?
It's my resignation.
Why now?
Well, we agreed I'd help you settle in for a few months.
I've assembled some suitable candidates to cover for me,
till you choose someone.
Hm.
Secretary.
Keeper of secrets.
What secrets are you still keeping for my father?
I don't know what you mean.
I have the feeling there isn't anything
you don't know about this place.
I wouldn't be very good at my job if I was indiscreet.
You and Gideon are very friendly.
Yeah, well, we've worked together for many years.
[Nina] Why did he and my father fall out?
I'm not sure exactly. I know that Claudia was a big part of it.
-Emily, too. -Who?
Gideon's wife, Emily.
As I understand it,
she didn't feel your father showed Gideon sufficient respect
for all he'd done.
Right.
They lost a child a long time ago, she was never the same.
Hm.
I am going to find every single person
who had a hand in this embezzlement.
I have no doubt.
You're like your father in that respect.
You don't let anything go.
My resignation.
Anything?
No. I'm following the money and there's nothing to find.
Except transfers to this ghost account that's in my name.
The money was moved on from those holding accounts,
and there, the trail gets real murky.
Hm. What do we know about Gideon's wife?
[Andre] Nothing. Why?
A hunch.
Maureen said something about Gideon and Stephen.
Okay. I'll look into their household finances.
Great.
[Gus] Hang on, Mum. Alesha's just walked in.
[Claudia] Your brother told me the news.
Hi, Mum. Yeah. It's great.
[Claudia] Are you still in shock? Everything's sorted.
We'll call you back when we know more.
[Claudia] Okay, talk later.
-[Gus] You okay? -Have you seen Nina and Simon today?
Earlier. Why?
Well, she has the company back and now they're AWOL.
Why didn't she give us a heads-up about Andre? Something's up.
Something like what? You're just spooked cos of last night.
Everything is okay.
Right.
[phone ringing]
-Hey, Mum. -[Claudia] Alesha, what's wrong?
Honey, celebrate the win.
[Alesha] There was something else in that safe.
Some papers... about Wanda.
Why was Dad trying to adopt her?
Mum!
Mum, are you there?
Who saw them?
Just me. What's going on?
Why was Dad trying to adopt...? I mean, who's Wanda's...?
Shut up!
I'm sorry.
[Alesha] What the hell, Mum?
You can't tell anyone.
[Alesha] But what about Wanda?
[Claudia] Your sister can't find out.
-But, Mum... -I'm coming home. I'll explain.
[sighs]
We should talk to the other siblings.
Uh-uh. Absolutely not.
They need to know. This affects them, too.
Yeah, it does, and when we have Gideon caught red-handed,
we'll tell them then. They are loose cannons.
They don't know what they want,
and I cannot risk Gideon getting ahead of this.
-Okay. -This keeps under wraps.
Okay.
We need to get back to the office.
We don't want them wondering where we are.
-Okay, I can do that. -Okay.
Yeah, yeah. Okay.
So, Gideon and Emily...
What did you find?
Nothing crazy. Mortgage paid off, solid pension pot,
conservative investments. They're squeaky clean.
There has to be something.
Look at this.
Money from the accounts that Davina saw was paid to JBD Assets.
Gideon's on their board of directors.
That company is actually a registered vendor
-doing business with Flair And Glory. -What kind of business?
That's where it gets interesting.
JBD owns or controls several of Flair And Glory's trademark names
and copyrights.
Just Me Spritz. Tru Condition.
How did Stephen miss this?
It was buried. Gideon created most of Flair's systems.
He knew all its weaknesses. He covered his tracks well.
Gideon transferred or sold several of our trademarks
and copyrights to JBD,
and in return, Flair And Glory has been paying this company
to lease back and use its own copyrights.
He's been really busy.
Yeah. Oh, and that company, JBD,
seems to do a lot of business with a company called OEM Holdings.
What do we know about OEM Holdings? Is there a connection to Gideon?
None that I can find... Not yet.
I'll keep on it.
I need to talk to a corporate lawyer.
It looks like OEM Holdings is owned by someone
called Oliver Ethan Martin.
Oh.
Okay. Find out everything you can about him. I'm going to the office.
We need to look like business as usual.
You don't have to tell me. I'm the one with my neck in the noose.
Call me if you find anything.
Hey, Gideon, it's Alesha.
Something's happening with Andre and Nina.
[phone ringing]
Claudia, I have a lot on my plate right now.
Alesha knows about Wanda.
[Nina] I didn't tell her.
I didn't say you did.
[Claudia] They got into Stephen's safe.
What safe? What was in it?
[Claudia] Life insurance, legal papers...
Stephen wanted to adopt Wanda.
-That's good. -Not if Wanda finds out.
You need to speak to Alesha.
[Nina] This is not my problem.
You wanna stay here and run the company,
then family's part of the deal.
[Claudia] Alesha won't take my calls. She looks up to you.
Claudia, I have work to do.
Nina?
Er... Nina's not back?
-Can I help? -Nah.
Augustus, that stings a little.
Where is Nina? I had a logistics question.
She's around somewhere. I'll tell her you wanna talk.
Cool.
Er...
Women?
No. It's not what you think. Um...
Ido and I are starting a family.
Yeah, egg donor, a surrogate. The whole nine yards.
Wow!
Yeah, I guess there would be websites for that.
Always learning.
Me, too.
It's kind of a lot.
Genetics, intelligence, race...
Can't she just resemble Beyonce?
This is big!
You're gonna be a dad.
[Gus] We should crack open some cigars or something.
Yeah, yeah, cigars, that'd be cute.
[Gus] Dad always wanted grandchildren.
Did he?
[Gus] Yeah.
He'd be happy for you.
Just...
...tell Nina I stopped by.
Yeah.
-What do you want? -Your mom called me.
I need those papers you found.
Hm. Is that what you're using to blackmail her?
Look, I don't have time for this. Give me the papers.
Unless you want everyone all up in your mom's business.
Don't be lecturing me when you're the one colluding with our enemy.
What are you even talking about?
I saw you with Andre.
Are you splitting the missing money? Is that the scam you're pulling?
You don't know what you're saying.
Just stop, Nina.
If you wanna talk about the business,
we can talk about it through our lawyers.
Our lawyers?
You talked to Gideon?
-And? -Shit!
-Gideon is the thief. -What?
He stole all that money! Andre and I were trying to stop him.
But Andre was arrested, you said.
We had to let Gideon get comfortable. Shit!
[Nina sighs]
Andre, it's me.
He knows.
What happens now?
Gideon is going to erase his tracks
and he's gonna get away with everything.
Not buying it. Gideon left the company,
but he was still there
-when the money disappeared. -Don't try it.
[Nina] Gideon did this. The evidence is stacking up.
But how could he do that to us,
-to Dad? -That's what cheats do.
They smile to your face and they lie in the small print.
But he's been part of the family.
Yeah, and I'm the one with jail time in my future.
Oh, mate, cry me a river!
If you'd done your job and not been messing with Mum,
we'd have caught this sooner.
I'm not an employee right now, so try it,
come at me.
Throw one of your sucker punches again. Go on.
So I can beat you down
-like the bitch that you are. -Yeah.
-Yeah. What? -Come at me, big man.
[all shout to stop]
Enough! We're all on the same side here,
-Okay? -Are we?
Not me, I'm here for this chaos.
He has our money, he now has details of our life insurance policy,
and because you couldn't be straight with us,
he might actually get away with all of it!
So great job, Nina.
He can't do anything with your life insurance policy, okay?
But I should have told you about Gideon.
So, what do we do now?
Nina?
[Gus] We can't let that money disappear for good.
There must be a trail somewhere.
-[Simon] We've been looking. -Yeah, okay, and?
Nothing.
Gideon had a head start and all we have are cobwebs and fumes.
Okay, can you all stop looking at me like that?
And just-just give me some space, please.
You know what? Everyone out.
Andre and I will keep searching.
Y'all heard my sister.
Get out of her house.
Right, okay.
Fine. Fine. I'll go.
I need to clear my head.
[music playing]
Nina, we've been trying to call you. Andre found something.
OEM Holdings?
What I found is a pyramid of companies
-that ends with OEM Holdings. -Okay.
Look at this chart.
OEM Holdings' major land and property purchases.
This is when the amounts left Flair.
And look at the dates on these purchases.
So OEM Holdings was buying up land
and property every time money went missing from the company.
Right.
Please tell me you found Oliver Ethan Martin.
-I did. He's buried in Highgate Cemetery. -What?!
So, where's all this money going?
-How is this connected to Gideon? -Look at this.
Are you kidding me?
The devil stays busy.
This is our smoking gun.
It's time to call the Fraud Squad.
Uh-uh.
That money will disappear while we waste time trying to go to court.
You can apply for an injunction to freeze the assets.
How long will that take? We need
-to get the money back ourselves. -No, that isn't what we agreed.
We said we'd help you clear your name.
Then let's do that, go to the police with the evidence we have.
We need to get the money back first.
-No! -Andre!
No! I'm not playing with my life for this family.
That's understood, but check your tone, Dre.
What will it take?
Hm?
No deal.
I'm asking you, what will it take for you to shut up
while we get this money back?
This is your chance.
Hustle never sleeps, right?
Okay, what's the plan?
How the other half live.
You know the thing I love about England?
There is nothing you can't steal if you have the right accent.
Hm.
Let's go have some fun.
This is a private establishment. You're not on my list.
I'd check that list again.
I wouldn't want you to be embarrassed
by allegations of Black guests being denied entry.
Unless there's a service entrance you'd like us to use?
-[Nina] That's what I thought. -[Andre] Thank you.
Andre.
What a surprise. They let you out?
Hm.
Nina, is there something I can help with?
You should have called.
I think for all our sakes,
this business is best handled face-to-face.
I don't understand.
-Shall we sit? -Yeah.
This is your club.
You are free to leave or have us ejected at any time.
You understand that, right?
What on Earth are you talking about?
I just wanna make sure that you understand this is your territory.
Nina...
OEM Holdings.
Who?
These are OEM Holdings' company accounts
and assets for the last six years.
I'm at a loss. What are we talking about?
[Nina] You tragically lost your son.
Meningitis? He was just 11 years old.
Oliver Ethan Martin.
Hm.
Would it surprise you to know
that someone purporting to be Oliver Ethan Martin
has been running a hugely successful business
laundering money that was stolen from Flair And Glory?
Now, either your dead son is a very astute businessman
or you're even more disgusting than I thought.
You can't prove anything.
[Nina] Not yet.
We both know you're OEM Holdings.
[Andre] We're 80% there, it's only a matter of time.
Basic rule...
pay your taxes.
Even on your stolen assets.
[Andre] We have a one-time offer for you.
If we don't reach an agreement by the end of business today,
the Fraud Squad will be at your door.
If you could prove anything, you wouldn't be sitting here.
I just want the money back.
Gideon, you are a smart man.
One way or another, the game's over.
[Nina] So what's it gonna be?
Are you ready to talk?
What's she saying?
Anything?
No, nothing from Nina.
He's gonna get away with it.
Nina won't let that happen.
I'll wring his damn neck myself.
[Andre] September 2017, a total of two million.
2018, an additional 1.7 million,
this time straight from the pension plan.
[sighs]
This didn't have to happen.
[Gideon] Stephen threw me out after everything I did for him.
Flair And Glory would be nothing without me.
[Nina] Bullshit! You were already skimming off the top before he fired you.
You know what he was like, how he abandons people.
[Andre] Onto the property purchases. 2016, Wharton Manor,
set over 21 acres...
Very nice.
We can come to an agreement.
There is only one deal on offer,
full restitution of all money stolen, cash, property,
bitcoin, whatever.
I can't get that all together in one day.
You'd better try.
And the police?
Will you be filing charges?
This conversation is wholly unconnected
with any future criminal charges.
We're not falling for that.
We're not going to be trapped into blackmail or extortion charges.
Listen, pay us, don't pay us. It's your choice.
Like I said, this is your territory, you're free to leave.
I just...
I just hope your wife will be okay.
I worked for your father for 12 years.
-I built that company. -God love a white saviour.
Go take your hurt feelings to therapy.
My family built that company and you stole from us.
You unjustly enriched yourself at our expense
and now you're caught.
Time's up, Gideon. What's it gonna be?
We should just call and find out what's...
Yo! They've done it.
They've done it!
-Jesus Lord! -Ah, they got him.
This is a good start. We just have to make sure
he keeps it coming.
[cheering]
Nina, Nina! Wait!
Our business is done.
What about the paper trail? The records? How do I know you won't use it?
-You don't. -But, please...
You nearly destroyed our company.
It'll take some time, but you'll have all the money back.
Give me some guarantees, please.
For the last six months of his life, my father was frantically
trying to unravel the mess you created.
It killed him. You don't get to live in peace.
You were good in there,
but let me be very clear with you,
if you ever undermine me or try one of your back door takeovers again,
I will decimate you and I will enjoy doing it.
Understood?
Loud and clear.
[laughing]
I guess you did.
No. You can't...
[indistinct chattering]
I'm gonna say thank you.
Credit where credit's due.
[Claudia] Andre, Nina,
thank you.
A toast. To Flair And Glory.
[all] To Flair And Glory.
Like I've always said, we are stronger together.
Nina, Simon... we're all family now.
Mum, when have you ever said that?
Chill.
I like that.
Erm, isn't that...?
Mum?
You should have told us you were coming.
I can see that you were enjoying.
Mum, it was just a toast.
[Oyin] I never wanted any of this wahala for you.
Did he always support us?
The truth, Mum.
No. Not for years.
Then suddenly, ten years later, out of the blue,
his cousin contacts me to say Stephen wants to give us something.
[speaking foreign language]
He wanted me to tell you that your father didn't want to see you
but only wanted to send you money.
When did you start buying shares in Flair?
One of his cousins needed money, so he sold his shares to me.
You voted with her.
So that you would leave all of this behind and come home.
But I can see that I'm too late.
[sighs]
I made a good life for us in America.
A great life, Mum.
[Oyin] But you are still staying here.
You were always so much like him.
[clicks tongue]
Andre. Company director, is it?
It's all worked out for you, hasn't it?
I wasn't sure you cared.
I can't believe you're leaving.
I should have left a long time ago.
-Is this what they gave you? -Yeah.
Don't you have diabetes?
Maybe they're trying to kill me.
[Andre laughs]
That's it?
That's it.
-You take care of yourself, Andre. -Yeah.
[Simon] I'm so glad you and Mum are talking again.
That go-between life was not for me.
Think she'll ever forgive Dad?
You know Mum. Forgive, maybe. Forget, never.
Is this closure?
We don't do closure.
Lifelong family feuds and generational trauma.
The African way.
That's enough of that.
[Nina] Hm.
I wish I'd known you.
[music playing]
[Wanda] Tone it down.
[Wanda] She has a kid.
[Alesha] Say it again.
-She has a kid. -That's not an offence.
Yeah, I don't know.
We've gotta keep an eye on her. You know how soppy Gus can get.
True.
You've got to do better, Alesha.
[Wanda] I've been thinking, you were right about a lot of things.
Mum and Dad were all about divide and conquer,
but we don't have to carry on like that.
If we keep on the way we are, we'll be like Mum and Aunty Carlene.
[Alesha] Oh, ill! God. Not like them.
[both laugh]
[Wanda] No more secrets, okay?
[Alesha] Yeah. No more secrets.
[Sasha] I'll be back.
No, no. Absolutely not.
[gasps]
-Hey! What are you doing? -Sasha, right?
Do I know you?
-Let's talk about your boyfriend. -What?
[man] He's been messing with my life
and you're gonna help me teach him a lesson.
[Claudia] Get the hell out of my house.
Mrs Richards.
Are you frightened?
-Of you? -[Gideon] You should be.
You stole the money.
They have the proof.
You're not pinning a damn thing on me.
[Gideon] You think you've got away with it.
Stephen's heart attack.
Very convenient.
My husband had cancer.
Didn't you hear the doctors?
A lot of cancer patients...
Cancer treatments can cause strokes, heart attacks...
but Stephen never started treatment.
What are you trying to say?
There was nothing natural or ordinary about how Stephen died.
You helped him along.
You're a joke.
[chuckles]
You always were your own worst enemy.
I have proof...
...and when the time is right...
...I'm coming for you.
Good night.
[Stephen] I have tried to be a good husband and a good father.
Not always with success.
To my genetic bloodline, I leave the sum of £30 million.
I leave all my shares in the company to Nina and Simon.
[Simon] What were you thinking about earlier when I walked in?
Stephen said in his will, "I leave to my genetic bloodline."
Right.
I thought that maybe he found out about Wanda
and he was trying to exclude her.
Right, but he was trying to adopt her.
That's the mystery.
So, in Zurich, I found earlier drafts of his will.
Look at these notes.
"I bequeath my estate to my six..." Six?
[Simon] But there are only five of us, Nina.
Not according to that.
Oh, God.
[Nina] When he said, "My genetic bloodline,"
he wasn't trying to disinherit Wanda.
He was trying to include someone else.
[Simon] Okay, so who?
Where is this sixth kid?
Mum!
Finn!
The train came early.
My Finn!
My Finn.
[Nina] How many more secrets is this family hiding?
-I mean... Do we tell the others? -No.
No.
[sighs]
I think we should look for that kid.
We already have three siblings we didn't ask for.
I don't want any trouble.
It might never even become an issue.
[Simon] Yeah, you're right.
Are you sure you want to stay here?
You know what...
I'm gonna be okay.
[Simon whispers] Yeah.
[both sigh]
