Riviera (2017) s02e04 Episode Script

1 I'll never understand why she left us.
Your mom and dad had a difficult relationship.
They've already grieved for you.
They've said their goodbyes.
Things can never go back to the way they were.
Raoul, it is an honour to be here, He was at the top of his game.
They think Raoul was killed.
No, no.
He slit his wrists.
I was the one who found him.
The post mortem result indicates otherwise.
Welcome to Clios Bank, Mr.
Al-Quadar.
I planned to charm you into helping me with something.
Why do you need my help? It's about a painting That belonged to my grandmother's family.
It was stolen a long time ago.
I'm happy to listen and we can take it from there.
Ok.
Paula Rego's Vanitas.
I'd like to feature the triptych as a centrepiece to the collection.
It's a meditation on vanity as a danger to the human experience.
If you would consider letting us have the first showing, the Clios Collection would donate our two side panels to the Louvre on permanent loan.
So, how did it go? They said yes.
Why do you keep sending me visiting orders? - I just wanted to see you.
- Why? I wanna tell you something.
- I'm your - You're my father? Mum beat you to it.
Added in just a few details so I know who you are.
- Adriana - Don't.
Do you have anything to do with Adam's disappearance? Adam is missing? I know nothing about that.
Sorry.
Why should I believe you? Well, I've nothing to gain by lying to you.
It's not gonna get me out of here.
I don't ever want anything to do with you.
Adriana.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Please don't go, please.
You're all I've left.
I don't care about Irina, money, what happens to me any of it.
The only thing I care is about you.
I can still be your father.
If you'll let me.
I hope, I hope you'll decide to forgive me, in time.
It's not too late for us to discover each other as father and daughter.
We can, we can start again With absolutely no secrets between us.
It's in your hands Adriana.
You decide.
Vermeer's Astronomer.
My great-grandfather owned an antiquarian bookshop in Montmartre.
He traded a collection of very rare and precious books for this painting.
Here lived Naomi Lévy, deported May 19th 1942.
Died in Auschwitz? Naomi Levy was my grandmother.
That was my grandfather.
I've only seen these in Berlin before, you know Stolpersteine? I commissioned these to be laid here.
And look, my grandparents in their living room, right there.
Look! First floor.
That apartment once contained one of the finest paintings in history of art.
The Vermeer? The painting disappeared at the same time my grandparents disappeared, to Auschwitz.
It was last seen on display in Nice, in the Hotel Excelsior, in 1943.
After that, it simply vanishes.
If that painting still exists, I promise I will find it.
Oh! Good morning! Morning.
You're up! You should be careful, you're nowhere near fully recovered yet.
No, I'm fine.
Did you sleep alright? A little uncomfortable.
But better.
Well, let's get you back to bed.
You do need your rest.
Why? What I need is to get outside and stretch my legs.
Now that's not a good idea.
Why not? I know this estate very well.
All the things we used to get up to as teenagers it's a very secluded estate.
And nowhere near the fort.
I believe that the Constantine Clios Collection is exhibiting there tonight.
I didn't know whether to tell you.
Posthumous exhibition.
It's very Georgina.
Will my family be there? Well, yes, I imagine so So you can see that it might be a bit alarming if you were seen wandering around like the ghost - of Hamlet's father.
- I'll stay close to the house.
Still, it's not a risk we should take.
Everyone's moved on.
This is their way of saying their final goodbyes.
And I'm taking a big chance keeping you here, so I think that we should get your strength back and not try and do too much.
And then we can start planning the next steps.
I mean, that's what you want, isn't it? Yes.
Yes, of course - Good morning.
- Good morning.
Wow! It looks amazing.
So Raafi is bringing some oil execs this evening.
We could really use those accounts.
You certainly found an good investor there.
- Yup.
- This is magnificent.
Hello, darling.
Constantine would have been very proud.
We must celebrate.
Let's have lunch.
Oh, there's still so much to do, my caterers really dropped the ball.
That's what we're here for.
Your job is just to enjoy today.
She's right, my darling Georgina.
If our late husband taught us anything, it's to seize the moments of celebration in life.
Christos, you should join us.
Er, no I can't.
I've got a meeting with the buyer at the stables.
Fabio will drive us, so you can have some champagne.
Seriously, this is what you pay me for.
We've got this.
I always knew Christos could do it.
Rebranding the Clios name was never going to be easy, but we've made a good start.
If you're happy to proceed, you'll need to sign some paperwork, of course to finalise Raafi's appointment to the board.
Seems like a new beginning.
For all of us.
We deserve some happiness after recent events.
I just wish Adam would come home to enjoy it too.
Yes.
You've been different since New York.
Like a weight has come off your shoulders.
I laid some ghosts to rest there.
Madame Clios.
Good to see you again.
Thank you for coming all this way, Mr.
Sinclair.
Don't mention it.
I decided to fly over as soon as Jean-Christophe updated me on the case.
Also Madame Clios, I understand.
Martin Sinclair.
What's going on here? Would you like something to drink? Not while I'm working, thank you.
Irina? Martin is a private investigator.
I have hired him to look into Adam's disappearance.
He has a few questions he'd like to ask you.
You sent this text to Adam Clios at six forty-two pm on the day he was last seen.
'Marjorie sloop, 'Promenade des Professeurs, Villefranche.
'Meet me there.
ASAP.
' He never showed up.
I told you that.
Why did you want to see him so urgently? I found out that Constantine owned that boat.
- Constantine? - Yes.
I mean who owns a sailboat and forgets to tell their wife? Well, knowing what we know about him now.
Why ask Adam to join you? I was afraid of what I might find.
When Adam never showed up, I went on board alone.
I found a letter from Constantine Saying what? That's between me and my husband.
You understand why we're asking these questions, don't you? I'm so worried about Adam.
We're just trying to trace his movements.
Yes, of course.
Because there's also this.
A copy of Adam's will.
He changed it recently and made you sole beneficiary.
What? That doesn't make any sense You're saying you don't know anything about this? Of course, I don't.
So why do you think he did that? Maybe because he felt guilty for trying to assault me.
My uncle is arriving at the airport soon I really should be there to meet him.
Fabio will drive you.
I can't tell any more.
She has an answer for everything.
Perhaps rehearsed.
You think she was lying? I don't know.
But she's certainly not telling us everything.
Marj! Hey! Hey, hey, hey.
I'm so glad you're here.
Me too, me too.
Ok.
I'll take you back to the villa and get you settled.
I have some press interviews to do today but you'll probably wanna rest.
How are you doing? Good.
Good.
Yeah.
The exhibition's coming along nicely, you'll see it tonight.
Not exactly what I meant.
How are the nightmares? They're gone.
You? Still processing.
But I'm ok.
Oh, yes I love that you have a driver! Oh, Fabio's not my driver.
Oh my God, I love that you have a driver named Fabio! No, Fabio is Irina's driver which means his loyalty is to her.
How is Irene? Oh, you know.
Shit, it's beautiful.
Are you sure you've got room for me? - So, are you really doing okay? - Yeah, course.
Thank you Fabio.
Yeah, it's just er, you kinda seem like you got a lot on your mind.
I'm launching an art exhibition.
Yeah, I've got a lot on my mind! Why is there a porcupine in the fireplace, Marj? I don't know, it's artsy.
Oh, Jeff, this is Noah Levy.
Noah Jeff.
Hey.
I asked him to show you around this afternoon, I've got this press thing to do.
You can tell me all about little 'Marj'.
And er you can tell me all about how you two know each other.
Right, I really have to go.
Play nice.
Don't gossip about me.
The Clios Collection will be reuniting Paula Rego's Vanitas triptych at long last.
Our two side panels will be joined later today by the centre panel.
We'll have it for six months, and then I'll be bringing the entire triptych to Paris on permanent loan.
There was a lot of speculation in the press about the circumstances of your husband's death.
Are you concerned about the damage to the reputation of your collection? I hardly think that The Louvre would be entrusting such a valuable piece to a collection they had reservations about.
So, you're clearly striving for legitimacy in the wake of Constantine's death.
We were always legitimate.
The Interpol inquiry was simply an investigation into my husband's murder.
This is more about sharing my husband's legacy.
Look around you, these are magnificent pieces.
They need to be on display for the world to see.
It's the only way I know how to move on in life while still remembering Constantine.
All the best bars got sticky floors.
This is my kinda place.
Georgina told me about growing up with you.
So I thought you'd like it.
- She did, huh? - Thank you.
So, what's the story? With you two? You should probably ask her that.
Yeah, well, Georgina's busy.
So, I'm asking you.
You know it's early days.
Not exactly a secret, not exactly announcing it to the world.
Best of luck.
To you both.
Thanks.
Excuse me.
Do you have the blessing of your step-children in mounting this exhibition in their father's name? Absolutely.
I'm doing this for all of us.
Apologies, ladies and gentlemen, that's all Mrs.
Clios has time for today.
But I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about specific pieces.
Thank you.
I hope I'm not interrupting.
I thought I'd slip in for a sneak preview.
It's so lovely to see you.
What an exquisite collection.
Can I get you a drink? No, no, no.
I'm not, I'm not staying.
I'm sorry I can't face being around people tonight.
I erm, just thought I'd take a quick glance before everyone arrives.
Of course, of course.
The, the police came to see me this afternoon.
Still no arrests and they will not release Raoul to me until charges have been brought.
That could be never.
I can't even say goodbye properly.
I know how awful that must feel.
A small mercy, they believe he was drugged before he was killed.
There was a puncture wound in his thigh and traces of a sedative called fentanyl in his blood.
Oh my God.
My dear heart.
You know, it felt like He was beginning a new era of art.
Such a talent, gone, gone to waste.
We'd better get going.
What, you're not coming? No.
Georgina and I talked about it.
It's an exhibition dedicated to her late husband, I'm not sure it's the best moment for us to be seen together for the first time.
Come on, fuck that man! There'll be a hundred people there.
You can come as my plus-one.
I'm not sure she'd appreciate that.
Look, piece of advice, dude.
Georgina likes a man who stands up to her.
So the second you become her whipping-boy, you're out the door.
Come on let's rock'n'roll.
Wait.
If you're taking me to a party, I'm buying the drinks.
You know what, I got this.
Man, I love France.
Next time you have any questions about me, just ask.
Yeah.
Well, it's no fun that way.
I prefer to be sneaky.
You know, do the private detective thing.
Did you find what you wanted? No.
No baby photos, no rohypnol.
Come on, man, I gotta make sure you're not gonna try to take advantage of me, - seeing as I asked you out on a date.
- Yeah.
No, we're good.
Come on, let's go do this.
It's a lot of money for a one night stand.
Well, the point isn't to give your mare a night to remember.
It's to produce a thoroughbred you'll earn millions from.
Yeah, but still, at current market rates.
Well, the Clios name stands for something.
A certain exclusivity.
When a stallion goes to stud, it'll service what? Hundred mares a year, breeding season? I'm only letting him cover twenty-five.
That way we don't dilute the gene pool; you know you're getting a sire in peak condition and we'll have less competition on the track.
You have a deal.
I'll have my people draw up the paperwork.
We'll get your mare in here as soon as possible.
How d'it go? How d'you think? You nailed it! I told you you'd bring this place back to life.
Yes, you did.
Yeah, it's been nice having something else to focus on.
Where do you think he is? I don't know, Ada.
I really don't.
Oh Gosh, I miss him.
- Fucking bastard.
- Yeah, I miss him too.
Madame Clios.
I wasn't expecting you.
Did something happen? I'm afraid a body has been recovered from the sea.
When we first met you told me money was no object.
That you didn't want to involve the police.
That is still the case.
I can reassure you that we've kept this away from the authorities.
The body has been taken to the morgue and filed as unidentified.
But you think it's Adam? I'm sorry.
Why? Why do you think it's Adam? Personal effects.
The body had been put into a sail bag which of course rules out suicide.
Visual identification is not possible.
However, he was wearing this.
Added together with the text from Georgina, his car being found at the harbour, that's considerable circumstantial evidence, Madame Clios.
Mercy.
Georgina! I'm so glad that you could make it.
And thank you for this.
It's my pleasure.
You've certainly breathed some life into the old place.
And I know how hard you've worked to move on.
After tonight's event, I hope you will.
Bouillabaisse.
My grandmother's recipe.
Thank you, Laurent.
How would you like to make a thousand Euros, Laurent? Madame Eltham is already a very generous employer, monsieur.
Two thousand Euros.
And the recipe for this as well.
As well as what? As you know, Georgina will be at the party at the fort tonight.
Of course.
I want you to hand her this note.
I hope this is going to be alright.
Come on, man.
Let's make some new friends.
What you are doing here? Didn't we talk about this? I know, it's Jeff, he insisted.
Listen, I can leave if you want.
No, no, you're here, right.
Do me a favour, keep him company? Ok.
You look beautiful by the way.
I suppose we should say hello to the board.
You know what? We absolutely should.
Werner! Edith! Evening.
You've er, met Raafi Al-Qadar? Nice to see you.
I imagine you've heard he's taken a position on the bank's equity.
Yes, congratulations.
We are looking forward to working with you.
Yeah, thing is er, Raafi and I are working on some big plans and well, I don't feel I have your support.
I'm gonna have to ask for your resignations from the board.
What? The bank needs youth and energy to move it forward.
Thank you for your service.
Letters on my desk first thing tomorrow.
It was very nice to meet you both.
Who are you looking for? My Mum.
I thought she'd be here by now.
And where were you today? I couldn't get hold of you.
I had stuff to do.
I was with Christos.
Are you sure you're allowed in here? After all you do have form in damaging expensive artwork and antiquities.
Oh, don't put yourself down.
You're not that old.
Hi, I'm Sophie.
Hi, Nico Eltham.
Nice to meet you.
- Friend of yours? - No, her girlfriend.
I see.
Bye.
- Good evening, darling.
- Evening.
What a wonderful gathering.
Yeah.
And you made it all possible with the bank.
Well Wow, now I know why you're late! My beautiful children.
I'm so proud of you.
I do love you.
You know? Am I the only sober one here? - Ladies and gentleman.
- You ok? Ladies and gentleman if I could just have your attention for a moment.
Thank you so much for coming tonight.
The Clios Bank is very proud to present Renaissance, Reunion and Rebirth.
This evening is an ending but it's also a beginning.
And I couldn't have done it without the help of my friends and family most of whom are here tonight.
Christos, Adriana, your father would be so proud of you.
Adam unfortunately couldn't join us.
The Elthams.
Cassandra.
Thank you for hosting us.
I'm particularly pleased to feature Paula Rego's Vanitas as the centrepiece to the exhibition.
The artist once described it as an attempt to 'Give terror a face'.
Surrounding it with the beauty of other masters reminds us that where there is ugliness, there is also beauty; and where there is death, there's also life.
Rebirth.
Thank you, get some champagne.
That's my niece.
- Oh right.
- Thank you.
Enjoy the evening.
Beautiful speech.
Thank you.
Let's get some air.
It's getting crowded.
Oh, I think I'd better stay with the guests.
I have some news.
About Adam.
I'll be on the rooftop.
I believed you when you said you didn't know Adam had changed his will for you.
I even believed you when you said you just wanted someone with you to check the boat and he didn't turn up.
But my investigator has informed me that a body in a sail bag was dragged from the sea yesterday.
Do you have anything you want to tell me? Of course, I don't.
Wait, a body what body? You know whose body.
You can stop pretending now.
To be honest, it's getting ridiculous.
No! What's ridiculous is your man Sinclair implicating me in Adam's disappearance, having Fabio drive me around to eavesdrop My 'man' Sinclair has solved scores of murders during his police career.
Adam is probably on a beach in Thailand somewhere with a stomach full of Mai-Tai's and drugs.
Difficult, since his bank accounts haven't been accessed since the day he was last seen.
Nor has his phone been used since receiving that text from you.
And he didn't take his watch with him.
It was on his body.
You took the boat out to sea and murdered Adam before dumping his body over the side.
I Don't even think about lying to me! Not anymore.
I know you did it.
I know.
I just need to hear you say it.
You really wanna know the truth about your son? He tried to destroy this family.
He was responsible for Constantine's death.
And after killing his own father, he tried to rape me.
You led him on His own step-mother.
Before he died, he admitted everything to me.
Do you wanna know what his last words were? He told me he loved me.
That he had always loved me.
Your son was an Oedipal little prick, and I didn't make him that way.
How did he die? How did he die? I stabbed him to death.
And I looked him in the face while I was doing it.
So what happens now? Are you gonna have me arrested at my own exhibition? You'll be destroying what's left of this family.
You will bring the Clios Bank to its knees when it was just recovering.
You'll be destroying yourself.
And if there's one thing that I know anything about you, Irina, the one thing that colours your every decision, the one thing that you value above everything and everyone else in your life, is your own self-interest.
Then it's lucky for you that our interests coincide.
So, here's the deal.
We have arranged for the body to buried as a 'John Doe'.
So, you will not be benefiting from Adam's will, because not only would you get his money, you'd get his place on the board of the bank and you are not getting any more control over this company.
I will retain power-of-attorney over his affairs.
In return, I don't expose you as a murderer.
I can take you down at any time, Georgina.
So just behave and do as you're told.
There's a good girl.
Madame? Laurent? It's about Monsieur Clios.
He offered me two thousand Euros to deliver this note tonight.
Thank you, Laurent.
Yes, madame.
