Riviera (2017–…): Season 2, Episode 4 - Stolpersteine - full transcript

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.
