The first 200 lines.
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?

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.
