Riviera

So, how did it go?

They said yes.

My grandparents.

That apartment once contained

one of the finest paintings in history of art.

The Vermeer?

If that painting still exists,

I promise I will find it.

Adam is probably on a beach in Thailand

somewhere with a stomach full of Mai-Tai's and drugs.

I'm afraid a body has been recovered from the sea.

It's about Monsieur Clios.

He offered me two thousand Euros

to deliver this note tonight.

I have some news.

About Adam.

He tried to destroy this family.

He was responsible for Constantine's death.

Your son was an Oedipal little prick,

and I didn't make him that way.

I can take you down at any time, Georgina.

Just behave.

There's a good girl.

Hey, you're up!

I love this view.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Coffee?

It's pretty lucky,

finding an apartment like this in Nice at the last minute.

I know.

You just moved here with

no purpose, no friends.

That's brave.

Meeting you has made all the difference.

What's this?

Did you target me?

No, course not!

That's how I first learnt who you were.

And yes, I was hoping to find a way to meet you.

Listen, I was completely honest with you.

I told you that you were the one

person who I thought could help me. Right?

Just I wasn't expecting what happened when we did meet.

Were you?

No.

It was nothing to do with that.

Well, the next time you want a picture of me,

ask first.

- Deal? - Deal.

I'm gonna take a shower.

Hi.

His last set of blood tests showed slight anaemia.

His burns still need further time to heal

and the headaches concern me.

Monsieur Clios really needs a full hospital assessment.

- CT scans, MRI, ECG... - No, he can't be moved

at the moment.

No, it's, it's too risky.

If the pain worsens or

he suffers any kind of seizure,

inject him with one of these sedatives.

I'll ask the nurse to refresh

your other medical supplies.

So, the paintings last known

location was the Hotel Excelsior,

right here in Nice, in nineteen forty-three, right?

Right. But they say all their

wartime records were lost or destroyed.

Well that's because the Hotel Excelsior

was commandeered by the Gestapo.

I don't think that's something they really like to talk about it.

It's a dead end.

If the painting's been seen at all

since the war, it's on the grey market.

All we have to do is find a dealer who traffics in

looted Nazi art, and doesn't care about provenance.

Do you know such a person?

No.

But I know a man who might.

And he'll do anything at the right price.

I've given this a great deal of thought.

I think it's time we made Adam's disappearance official.

What do you mean official?

French authorities will not look for missing persons unless

they have previously expressed suicidal tendencies,

or there is clear evidence of foul play.

But when a person stops appearing at their place of residence

without any news from them as to their whereabouts,

one can apply for a Judicial Presumption of Absence.

Well, that's certainly 'official'.

Adam's property and possessions

will be secured for the family as...

Are his voting rights on the board of Clios Bank.

Wait,

are you trying to make the authorities forget about Adam?

No.

It's my birthday tomorrow... he's gonna be here.

I know you've given up on him

but he's not gonna forget this.

I've not given up on him.

When have I ever given up on any of you?!

But we need to face reality.

I've hired a firm of private detectives.

Their investigation is proving fruitless.

She has a point, Ada.

We haven't seen or heard from Adam in weeks now.

You see, my darling? I'm doing

this for the family, for all of us.

We need to protect Adam's estate.

Protect his estate?!

You're not protecting anything or anyone

not me, not Adam, not even Christos.

It's all about control.

Controlling us, controlling the bank.

It's always been about you. It's always been about her.

Perhaps these teenage tantrums will end

tomorrow once she actually turns eighteen!

There's never a right time

- for a decision like this. - Yeah,

but this is definitely a wrong one.

You know, I think I'm just gonna go and...

No, do join us

- this is so much fun. - Yes, Jeff.

Please make yourself at home.

If mother has anything to say,

she'll do so in front of the entire family.

Fine.

I will postpone making the application

until the morning after your birthday.

If Adam hasn't returned or contacted us by then,

we have no choice.

Ok, listen,

I'll talk to her. Ok, but she,

she's right,

your timing sucks.

Irene!

Hey, wait up!

If you're going to give me

parenting advice, I'm not in the mood.

What's er,

what are you doing later?

Later?

Yeah, this evening.

You wanna get some dinner?

Why?

Why?

Why not?

I'd like that

very much.

You,

you don't trust me, do you?

Because I tried to contact Georgina.

You need to get some rest.

I'm gonna break a rule and ask,

what are you thinking?

Oh, I just

never thought I would meet someone so soon

after Constantine died.

I think you're trying to remember the moment we met;

and decide if I was playing you or not.

I just want something in my

life that isn't built on lies.

Something real and true and not about money.

That's all.

There was chemistry between us when we met.

You were there.

You know I wasn't faking anything.

Hello again.

What the fuck are you doing here?

I see you've lost none of your charm.

I have a proposition for you.

Have you, indeed?

Oh, come on Geoffrey, don't be like that.

It involves a missing piece of art.

I know you love a mystery.

And you owe me.

I'm not.

Well, that's too bad.

It could be quite lucrative.

At least let me introduce you to my client.

Mr. Levy.

I'm helping him with an art restitution case.

How noble.

Taking on pro bono cases now, are we?

All part of your "Renaissance",

Reunion, Rebirth rebranding bollocks, I s'pose.

I know you have some clients who could help me:

those who aren't interested in provenance?

We're looking for some works that may

have found their way to the South of France

via the Vichy government.

What's in it for me?

So, you can help me?

There might've been some movement recently

regarding certain pieces.

But I couldn't possibly comment about that.

Well maybe you know someone who can?

I can make the introduction

for the right price.

Of course.
