01x06 - Forgive, Maybe. Forget, Never.

[bunniefuu]

[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 ill*gal sh*t, 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
g*n, 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 a*s 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 a*s 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 f*cked.
- 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 f*ck?

[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.

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 k*ller.

[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?
- sh*t!

- 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. sh*t!

[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 b*tch 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 g*n.

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.



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 k*lled 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 k*ll 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]
