03x03 - The Spanish Prisoner

[bunniefuu]

Damn it!

Come on!

[Max] Get the rope!

[Miranda] Okay. Go, go, go, go!

[Miranda] Try and knock out the engines!

Scheisse! It's so hard to aim.

You steer.

What? Grab the wheel?

[Max] Hold it steady.

[Miranda] Yeah, I'm trying.

Try harder-- Ahh!

Max!

Max!

[gasping]

Max!

Here! Miranda, over here!

Help me aboard.

Quick.

[Miranda] No, no! Don't pull so hard!

[Max] Our boat is drifting away.

Max!

He's turned around.

[Max] Oh, he's going to ram us!

- [Miranda] Swim!
- [Max gasping]

[both grunting]

- Max!
- [gasping]

Max!

[theme song playing]

[Carmen] Thanks for meeting me, Max.

I know things have been
difficult between us,

but we really need to talk.

It's kind of important.

They're transferring Gonzalez.
That's crazy.

- Max.
- I know, right?

It's insane.

I mean, he hasn't scored
for, like, what, fifteen games?

But still, this guy
totally dominates the hole--

I got a new job.

An offer anyway.

Wow, that's, er-- That's great.

Yeah. It's a design agency.

Very new, very talented people.

Amazing.

It's in Madrid.

Oh. And, erm, w-what did you say?

I said that I'd
have to talk to you about it.

So...

here I am talking.

Wow.

Max.

Last year, you asked me to marry you.

Yeah. And, erm, you said no, remember?

No. I said the time wasn't right.

I know that lately
we've been struggling to connect,

but maybe Madrid
is the best place for both of us.

Hmm.

[laughs]

And, er, what did you say?

I said, "I'll think about it,"

which is exactly what she said
when I asked her to marry me, right?

So, like, boom!

I mean, this is a relationship, Max,

not cage fighting.

[Inés] Blake! Winter!

Just sign there, please.

My offices are now your offices.

See?

I told you, they look gullible, huh?

Especially him.

It could work.

Er, work for what, exactly, ma'am?

Oh, erm, Inspector Blanco
comes from Madrid.

Policía Nacional. Serious Fraud Division.

Yes, but I'm very pleased
to be in Mallorca at the moment...

especially...

after seeing this.

The man in the picture is Ramon Silva...

or as he prefers, "The Chameleon."

Silva is by far Europe's most notorious

and successful con man.

Over the last twenty years,
he's managed to swindle

around one hundred million euros.

Give or take.

And he's also ruthless.

People who get too close to him
tend to... to disappear.

Officers have gone undercover
trying to catch him.

The result was not good.

He is extremely clever,
uses multiple stolen identities.

He's never the same person twice.

I mean, I've tracked this guy for years

and I have never managed
to get one single firm ID.

Okay, now, however, thanks to an informer,

we strongly believe that's
the first confirmed image.

And this affects us because?

Oh, he's in Mallorca.

That photograph was taken
yesterday at Palma Airport.

[Max] Okay.

And where do we come in?

Simple.

You two are gonna be his next victims.

Shall we?

[laughs awkwardly]

All con tricks are essentially the same.

Bait, hook and switch.

But the key is always the mark.

What the true genius of the con man is,

to find out their victim's real need.

Do they desire to be loved
or respected or flattered?

Everybody's different,

but I guarantee you, you find out

what that specific need is

and people will do anything for you.

And that's why the very best,
we call them artists.

So, what's he planning on doing here?

We believe it's a property scam.

Super-high-end villas

that can only be sold
through him at a bargain price.

The owner, of course,
is in a little bit of trouble,

so, he needs a quick sale,
and a small percentage

immediately secures
the exclusive property.

Which he doesn't even own.

Mm-hmm.

And he takes off with the money,
never to be seen again.

- [makes whooshing noise]
-"The Spanish Prisoner."

El prisionero español.

I want both of you to be his next mark.

You're a young and attractive couple
with a lot of money

who are looking to buy.

You both will be wired
so I can track your every move.

And as soon as he accepts the money,

boom! We arrest him.

Well, that's perfect for us.

Really perfect.

We already have undercover identities.

I'm Paul Muller from Dusseldorf,

and she's Helena, a former exotic dancer.

Absolutely no way.

What? Because I created them?

Oh, no, no. Because they're
ridiculous and sexist.

Do I look like an exotic dancer to you?

Oh, don't answer it. It's a trap.

Oh, and with exotic dancing,
it's not about how you look.

It's the attitude.

- That's good and all,
- Sexist.

but we've already taken the liberty

to create a credible identity
for both of you.

Rachel New.

British.

Former Harvard maths grad. Very smart.

You recently divorced

a Silicon Valley tycoon billionaire

after both of you made a fortune together.

Your lawyer was excellent, by the way.

Okay, this is good.
But what if he Googles me?

Ah!

Top hit.

Just enough.

Okay? You like it like that.

You're very discreet.

We've already uploaded your pictures.

Good, huh?

This is very thorough.

Okay.

You, sir, are Torsten Schmid.

All right.

Erm...

Erm, and?

A- And what?

Yeah, well, what else about Torsten?

Oh! Oh, oh. Sorry. Yes.
Er, you're German or Austrian?

Your choice.

Yeah, sure. But- but he,
he does have a career, right?

Like hopes, dreams?

[laughing]

I get it. Torsten was the smart lawyer.

They fell in love
after he saved her fortune.

Clever.

N- Nothing like that.

You're just a good-looking guy
that, you know,

enjoys spending your wife's money.

Nothing wrong with that.

Big muscles, but not a lot of brains.

What's this expression?

There's an expression in English for this.

- Toy boy.
- Toy boy! Exactly!

You're her toy boy. Yes!

You know, I think Rachel's
probably just tired

of all the maths,
the business conversation,

and she wants something
a little less taxing for herself.

Intellectually, I mean.

That's good old Torsten.

Dumb, but fun.

Think you can handle that, lover boy?

[laughs]

[Blanco] This afternoon,
there's an exclusive car auction.

Try to locate Ramon Silva
and gain his confidence.

And, remember, this man is ruthless,

so, be careful, please.

Getting him to trust you
will not be easy.

Good luck.

Okay, remember, Max,

this is just the first step
in a long operation.

We might need to try several locations

before we make any initial contact.

There he is.

[indistinct talking]

Oh! Okay.

Erm, well, we need to formulate
how we actually approach him.

Don't worry.

Torsten has a plan.

Max... Ma-- Max!

Hey.

Yes, señor.

I want something good.

No, no, no, no.

Not good.

The best.

Your best champagne.

Of course. Of course, señor. Un momento.

So, if you want something
of really vintage quality

then I would have
to recommend the Krug Cuvee.

- And, today, we have a special price--
- Beautiful! I'll take it. Two bottles.

Great choice. Great choice, señor.

[mutters] Who's paying for that?

There you go.

[Miranda] Hmm.

No. Señor, please allow me to open it.

I've got it.

Come to papa.

- Oh!
- Oh, careful! Careful, señor.

- Torsten!
- Careful!

I'm so sorry, señor.
My husband is an idiot.

- Sorry. Sorry. Let me.
- No problem.

No! Your beautiful hat and your suit.

It's okay. No problem.

I am so, so sorry.

No, it's okay. It's okay. No problem.

Please, please, let us buy you
something as an apology.

And you must join us at our table.

Very exclusive. VIPs only.

You are too kind, but I think
it's not necessary at all.

[Miranda] Please. We insist.

Okay. Thank you. You are too kind.

And the auction is starting, I think.

Ladies and gentlemen,
first under the hammer,

we have 1973 red Alfa Romeo Spider.

Reserve, 20,000 euros.

Did I hear thirty? Thirty, perfect.

So, you have left the Silicon Valley now?

Mm. Yes.

My ex-partner refused to
acknowledge my contribution,

so I sued and won.

I pride myself on keeping up
with development like this.

But your story is not familiar to me.

Well, that's good.

I agreed to a non-disclosure agreement.

Ah! [laughs]

For an extra twenty million, of course.

Very smart. Congratulations.

Thank you.

Well done.

Anyway, I thought I'd earned
a little bit of me-time,

and Torsten spent his childhood
on the island.

Yeah, I love Mallorca.

So we decided to buy somewhere,
didn't we, darling?

Little holiday home on the north coast.

Just something small,
you know, ten, fifteen million.

Ya.

Of all the people to soak with champagne,

you choose me.

Mm.

Property is my passion,
here in this island.

I love finding homes
for people just like you.

[auctioneer] Do I hear fifty?

Yep. Fifty. Easy.

One would almost think,

I don't know, it was too good to be true.

What zodiac sign are you?

Sorry?

What zodiac sign are you?

[laughs]

Scorpio. Why?

Aquarius. It makes
perfectly sense we met today.

It's, like, written in the stars.

Torsten really loves astrology.

If crazy zodiac signs
can tell you the future,

you pay attention, right?

Total no-brainer.

Sixty. Sixty. Okay, sixty.

So, do you think maybe you could help us?

We've been looking,

but everywhere's just terrible,
isn't it, darling?

Ugly, cheap, totally tasteless.

And he's very picky.

Yeah, yeah. I studied architecture
at Heidelberg University.

Really? How did I not know that about you?

Yeah, full of surprises.

You know what? I would love to assist you.

I like you both,

but...

[groans] my diary is full.

Right now, everyone
wants to buy right here

in this island.

No, of course, you must have

so many important clients.

But maybe-- maybe,

if I move some things around here,

what about tomorrow?

I can show you something very special.

I mean, that would be amazing.

Did you hear that, Torsten?

Eighty thousand euros. Sold
to the gentleman in the balcony.

- Another car, darling? Great.
- [auctioneer] Enjoy.

Yeah.

- [Max] Salud.
- [Silva] Salud. Und prost.

[Miranda groans] The heels are k*lling me.

Typical Aquarius.

Psst. Get in.

Come on.

Oh, please.

I heard everything.

Great job and the way you
pretended to be a total idiot.

[laughs] Astrology.

Brilliant.

Brilliant.

Anyway, he's taken the bait.

Now we have to make sure
we set up the hook, okay?

Y- you're positive

that he doesn't suspect a thing, right?

- Not a thing.
- There was a moment--

Go on.

Well, he was just
talking about coincidence.

You know, how we just met?

He was looking straight at me.

And, honestly, for a second,
I thought that maybe he'd guessed.

Okay, but then he relaxed?

Yeah.

[sputters] I think so.

Okay. Good. Good.

We're good. I mean,
we can't underestimate this guy.

He loves to make fun of the police.

Trust me.

I know.

Astrology.

[laughs]

She has told you?

Oh, yes.

It's a great opportunity for my daughter.

I told her to go.

With or...

or without you.

Okay. Mm. Thank you.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

So, what do I do?

Do you really want my advice?

Of course.

I totally respect you.

Also, you're a woman.

So, win-win.

I mean...

Listen, I can't tell you what to do.

Maybe talk to her?

I know you haven't been
doing that a lot lately,

but, at the end of the day,

there's no right or wrong here,

it's just about communication, right?

I think you're right.
Communication is the key.

Yeah.

To communication.

To communication.

So, erm, from my point of view,

while I'm totally
supportive of your career

and I mean it, totally,

it, erm, just doesn't

feel like the right, erm,

decision...

for me...

right now.

So, you're saying no.

I- I'm simply telling you how I feel.

Erm...

communication, and, er,

yeah, now would be your turn
to tell me exactly how you feel.

Okay?

You said what?

You told me to communicate.

No, no. I told you to listen.

That's not true.
You said I should talk to her.

"No right and wrong." Your exact words.

Well, obviously, this was a test.

All right. So, what is it?

Should I talk or should I listen?

Er, both, obviously.

But more of the second one.

Okay, this conversation is over.

Thank you for all your excellent advice.

Well, look,
we're meeting Silva in twenty minutes.

[sighs]

Wow!

There she is.

[Miranda laughs]

Have I given you permission to buy a car?

You didn't tell us not to buy a car.

And you do want us to catch Silva, right?

Property of Palma Police.

The second this operation is over,
we are selling it.

Any damage, you pay.

Okay?

You must be joking.

Huh.

[Spanish guitar music plays]

Okay, so, after everything
you two have been through,

Carmen needs to know
that you will follow her anywhere

because you love her.

- Don't you?
- Okay, stop.

Rewind.

Yesterday, I asked you what to say to her

and you said you
couldn't tell me what to say.

- Well, no, I--
- And, today,

you're telling me what I should have said,

which you totally could have
told me to say yesterday.

It's your decision to make,

so make it.

- Okay?
- Okay.

Thanks.

Thank you for meeting me here.

Er, I wanted you both
to see the village first.

It's very exclusive.

I'm not surprised.
It's beautiful. Exquisite.

But such tiny houses.

And people are actually living in there?

So I'm told.

- That's crazy. [laughs]
- Mm-hmm.

Er, I'm curious...

How did you first meet?

I think it was at the office, no?

I saved her life.

Wow.

This is a story...

I would like to hear.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
It's really not that interesting.

This guy had a g*n to her head,

literally, like a second
from pulling the trigger.

[gasping]

A street robbery?

You lived in San Francisco, yes?

Yes. Something like that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But, anyhoo,

I ran over and shouted something like...

Stop! Police!

And then he ran.

[gasping]

Can I be frank?

Before, I didn't get this.

You look so different.

But for a man to save a woman like this,

ah, is something...

truly primal.

I think it creates a bond...

which is impossible to break.

Looking at you, I can see it,

how much you are in love.

Congratulations.

Oh, the champagne is here.

It's never too early for champagne.

It could be an honour,
to be a tiny part of your story.

So, I want to make a toast to...

a new home in Mallorca.

Sí.

[both] A new home in Mallorca!

See?

I promised you.

Amazing.

The owner loves this place.

I think you will appreciate
the inspired design,

considering your background.

I'm sorry?

In architecture.
You studied in Hamburg, right?

- Yeah.
- Heidelberg.

- Not Hamburg.
- Yeah, Heidelberg.

Heidelberg.

Heidelberg. Sorry. My mistake.

Oh! These are interesting.

You know, decoration is individual,

but the potential is unbelievable.

Unbelievable.

So why is he selling it,
if the owner loves it so much?

Erm, it's complicated.

My client needs to leave Europe
as soon as possible.

Business matters.

Do you understand?

He asked me to help liquidate
his assets as quickly as I can.

So, shall- shall we keep going?

Follow me, please.

Well, it's certainly the best we've seen.

So, let's discuss the price.

Are the boats included?

Twenty million,

which I think you will agree
is very reasonable.

Well, it's fair, but under
the circumstances,

I was thinking more like fifteen million.

Especially if your
client needs a quick sale.

[laughs]

Now I understand why
you have made so much money.

No, seriously, take your time, discuss it.

In the meantime,
I'm going to make a phone call, okay?

You, erm, you think he suspects
the Hamburg/Heidelberg thing?

I think he needs to be sure
that we're a real couple.

You know, we're here
buying our dream house.

It's emotional.

I think you need to kiss me.

I should kiss you?

- You're sure?
- Yeah, yeah. It's fine.

It means nothing. Just do it.

And make it look natural.

You are absolutely certain?

Yes.

For God's sake, Max.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

I'm going in.

[speaking Spanish]

[groans] He's turned away.

Okay, let's close this deal.

Fifteen million.

Miss New,

I want all my clients completely happy.

Be my guest.

Tonight, stay here and if tomorrow

you love the house as much as I do,

then we can talk about the price.

Sure.

[Blanco] Good work!

This has been an impeccable operation.

Outstanding!

We're just doing our job.

I mean, Detective Blake,
you have proved to be such a pro.

And Detective Winter, you're
just a natural, aren't you?

Hey, listen.

You ever want to get a job in Madrid,

you come talk to me, okay?

We can always use someone
with your level of skill.

I mean it. Okay, back to business.

We must avoid to arouse suspicion.

You're gonna spend the night at the villa.

Then the next morning you're
gonna agree on the sale price.

He's gonna ask you for a cash deposit,

usually like ten percent,

which I'm sure we can supply
from the usual sources?

Of course. I'll take care of that.

Great. So, we're gonna arrange

the handing over

and as soon as he touches the cash--

Boom!

We have him.

Okay?

[Max sighs]

[static]

Oh.

[cool jazz playing]

That's the soundtrack.

Erm, wine?

No, thank you. I'm working.

- Have some wine.
- No. W- We're working.

Okay. Some of us are.

♪ Ba-ba ♪

Mm.

You like lobster?

Yeah, sure.

I should know that.

It's crazy.
We've known each other for what?

Three years?

Working together every day,

and I don't know whether you like lobster.

Or any shellfish.

Yeah, I eat fish.

Shell or no shell.

It's great. High protein, low fat.

Yeah, but do you like them?

Well, I just said that, Max.

No, no, no, no, no. You said you ate them.

You didn't say whether you like them

or love them.

Oh, hello. Bonjour.

[cool jazz playing]

[laughs]

[French accent] Miranda Blake,

do you love this lobster?

Put it down.

Not until you answer the question.

Oh! Okay, fine. Yes. I love it

with all my heart. It's delicious.

Satisfied?

Then, seal it with a kiss.

No! Chef's kiss. [blows kiss]

You hear that?

You're delicious.

Sorry.

So, how are you enjoying
being married to me?

Hmm.

I mean, conversation, not so good,

but I'm liking the catering.

I'll take it. [chuckles]

Hmm?

Erm, sure.

So,

how did you leave it?

With Carmen.

I, erm...

I tried explaining how I felt

and, erm...

she just blanked me.

And?

That's it.

I mean, if you can't even talk about it...

What? You think I should leave her?

Well, no, I didn't say that.

But there was subtext.
I mean, like, big, big subtext.

And you're right. If Carmen
and I can't even communicate

about something like this, then,

do we even have a future?

Okay, no, I definitely didn't say that.

Right.

Shall we just change the subject?

Yeah, good idea.

[knocking]

[Miranda] Come in!

Oh, wow.

This is nice.

My room is also nice.

This whole place is nice.

I agree.

We should definitely buy it.

Oh. Definitely.

Not a penny over twenty million, though.

Oh, agreed. I'm not made of money.

But you wanna make Torsten happy?

Always.

Well, good night, then.

Good night.

We'll take it.

Twenty million.

Perfect.
It is a pleasure to have assisted you.

You have a wonderful home.
Congratulations.

Er, as soon as I have a deposit,

we can remove it from the market.

Erm, this is my office.

Let me know a convenient time
to complete the formalities.

Bye.

Adiós.

[Miranda sighs]

[sighing]

[slow piano music plays]

We, er, don't have to do this.

Then come with me.

I, er...

Okay,

then, I guess we do--

Give it a break, yeah? Not the end.

A test.

I'm getting sick of tests.

Just six months.

After that, we are together forever or...

forever apart.

Hmm?

Okay?

Okay.

[car horn honking]

[horn honking]

[sighing] Right.

Hey, take good care of yourself, okay?

You too.

[engine starts]

Wow.

[Inés] Two million euros in cash.

Sign here.

You sure about this?

Yes.

The office you're
about to enter is totally fake.

The staff are day hires,
also victims who will never be paid.

Remember, we can
prove none of this in court

until he signs for the money.

Then we have him. Are we clear?

[Inés] Let's put this
dangerous man away for good.

Bienvenidos. Welcome.

Rachel New. I have an appointment.

[machine whirring]

That's perfect.

So, now, I get you a receipt...

and that's it.

I think I need a new pen.

In the meantime,

I will put this in safe, okay?

[chuckles]

I need a new pen, please.

Scheisse.

We had him. Where is he?

- Headed west.
- God damn it!

Go! I'm gonna try to cut him off. Go!

[woman shouting indistinctly]

Hey!

- [yells in Spanish]
- [Max] Gotcha.

[speaking Spanish]

Get in. Get in!

Get in.

Hoo! That was close.

But we have him.

We did it!

Here. I think your captain
might want this back.

- Thanks.
- No, no.

Thank you.

Both of you.

It's all gone perfectly to plan.

Well, almost.

But I can honestly say,
I don't think I could have done

any of this without you.

Detective Blake, thank you very much.

Thanks.

Detective Winter, that was awesome!

Hey, listen, if you ever seriously

consider that transfer to Madrid,
you come talk to me, okay?

Actually, I'm thinking
about a new challenge.

That's wonderful!

Well, I'll tell you what.

We're gonna drop him at the station,

I'm gonna get you a well-deserved beer,

and then we're gonna talk.

- Okay?
- Great.

- That's great. All right.
- Great.

You're gonna love it there.

Okay?

Okay.

[Miranda] So that's it then?

You're going to Madrid?

I think I have to.

Even though it's been
a rough patch for us,

I love Carmen.

And now, the chance to be
with her falls into my lap.

So, yeah,

maybe it's fate.

So...

Well, you can't argue with destiny.

Sometimes the truth is just
staring us right in the face.

Oh, damn it.

[laughing]

Damn it!

- What?
- He's done it!

The true genius of the con man is

to work out what
the victim really needs.

The art of the con.

The Chameleon played us all.

First, he gave us both
exactly what we needed.

Praise.

I mean, Detective Blake,
you have proved to be such a pro.

Respect.

Detective Winter,

if you ever seriously consider
that transfer to Madrid,

you come talk to me, okay?

Yeah.

Flattery.

This has been an impeccable operation.

I mean, quite outstanding.

What are you talking about?

- Open the case.
- How is that gonna help?

Just open it.

It's Nino.

He and Silva were working
together the entire time.

Nino's The Chameleon.

He must have switched
the cases at the last moment.

I don't know.

Oh, no. Which means...

They have Inés' money.

Hold on.

[Miranda] If you put your foot down,
we might catch them in the village.

[Max] Oh, is that how it works?

You're still carrying
too much corner speed.

You'd be quicker
if you took the racing line.

Slow in, fast out.

You know what?

I'm getting a bit
sick of being in this marriage.

Yeah, don't worry. Me too.

Look out!

[brakes screeching, horns honking]

I'm sorry. Did you just grab the wheel?

What? You were going to hit him.

You don't grab the wheel.

Never.

Ever.

All right. Well, let's think, Max.

Where would they have gone?

[Max] There's only one place
I can think of.

The villa.

[Miranda] You think they'd be
stupid enough to go back there?

[Max] The airport's too risky.

Remember the boats?

Yes, the moorings
next to the underground cave.

[Max] The perfect getaway.

[Miranda] Speed up and try
and knock out their engines.

It's those cops! Vamos!

You steer!

What? Grab the wheel?

[Max yells]

[Max] Over here!

[Blanco] Turn around.

[Miranda screams]

[Blanco] They're both in the water.

Max!

[Blanco] Time to clear up some loose ends.

Do it.

Go for it.

[laughs]

[engine stops]

What's wrong?

The engines have cut out.

I'll check them.

They hit us!

[groans]

Can you get it started?

I'm trying.

[engine sputtering]

[engine sputtering]

[mutters] Come on!

[grunting, groaning]

[grunting, groaning]

Scheisse!

- [g*nsh*t]
- [both yelling]

[gasping]

[Inés on bullhorn]
Palma Police! Drop the g*n!

Drop the g*n!

[Inés] Don't move.
Keep your arms in the air.

- Inés!
- Ah! Inés!

[Max laughing]

[Miranda] How did you know?

[Inés] I suspected from the start.

Of course, I made sure
I looked into Nino's story.

And it all checked out--
You know, photographs,

description, really clever hacking job.

But...

There was one thing not even
The Chameleon could change.

DNA.

I had Roberto run it
against original records

in the police computer,

and when it didn't match,

well, it wasn't hard
to understand what was going on.

You could have told us, Inés.

I could...

but I didn't because I needed
you to help me trap him.

Everything was going perfectly
to plan until this idiot

worked it all out
and nearly got you both k*lled.

You're welcome.

But what made you suspect Nino
was lying in the first place?

Seriously?

Do you think an arrogant Madrid cop

would ever trust this department

to catch Europe's most wanted con man?

Come on.

Maybe that line would work on a male ego,

but, you know,

I, erm, what is you say?

I smelled the mole.

[Miranda] "Rat."

You smelt a rat.

Exactly.

You know what they say, Winter.

If you don't know who
the sucker in the room is...

then it's you.

And what about the money
that we risked our lives for?

Oh. Two million counterfeit notes
we seized last year.

- [Max] Hmm.
- Señora?

See you later.

[both groan]

I'm sorry about your transfer...

to Madrid.

Yeah. Maybe it was too soon, or fate.

Sometimes these things are
written in the stars.

I think Carmen needs a little space.

And you?

Sure.

Hey.

They're counterfeit.

Yeah, but very convincing.

We're police officers, Max.

Thirsty police officers

who haven't had a raise in five years.

[Miranda] It's totally ill*gal.

[Max] Hey, we both nearly died again,

which means we deserve a drink.

[Miranda] Hmm.

[end theme song playing]

[Miranda] Next time on
The Mallorca Files...

[screaming]

[Miranda] Two more days
until what, Mr Cresper?

The deadline.

Everyone else in the village has signed.

That's the village DeMayo wants to flood.

You can't stand in the way of progress.

[Miranda] Nicola Cresper's friend?

[Max] She was m*rder*d last night.

I think maybe you should sign the offer.

[man] We live in a country
which allows protests,

however misguided.

[Inés] That village is going
to decide this election.

I need my most

diplomatic and sensitive
officers on this case.

Sadly, they are not available.

So, you know...
