Riviera (2017–…): Season 3, Episode 2 - Episode #3.2 - full transcript

- Gabriel Hirsch.
- I know who you are.

I heard about the Vermeer that you
got back.

Impressive.

I could use someone like you.

I think we'd make a good team.

What's that?

Shit. Go.

Run. Ru...

Ellen Swann is Chief of Staff
for Alexandra Harewood.

Tech billionaire.

I'll get it back.



Do the Argentinians know?

Yes.

I've instructed Cesar
to leave it to me.

You're always in my heart.

With you for all eternity.

You've got something
that belongs to me.

Gabriel, what happened?

It's a long story.

- I'm kind of in, in Saint Tropez.
- Saint Tropez?

I need you to bring the rosary
here quickly.

Shit.

Shit.

Emeralds, surrounded by diamonds...

Likely an 18th century design.



Any idea what it's worth?

I estimate
two hundred thousand Euros.

Maybe more, but it depends
on the provenance.

Less than you were expecting?

I don't know what I was expecting.

Well, you could probably get
a little bit more at an auction

in Lourdes or Viseux, but here,
Saint Tropez is Godless.

It's almost like you never left.

That's the problem
with this time of year,

pickpockets, gypsies.

Well, you can't blame them.

Parasites always come out
when there's money to be made.

- And what brings you here?
-None of your business.

What about you,
what are you doing here?

I'm racing, of course.
'Tis the season.

Shame you sold the Marjorie,
I could've challenged you to a race.

I'm done with boats.

How's Daphne?

What's it to you?

See you around, Nico.

Watch out for those
parasites, Georgina.

- Georgina?
- I'm on my way.

- Please tell me you've got a light?
- Are you OK?

I've been trying to make fire
with sticks, what took you so long?

Are you alone?

Er, yeah, as far as I know.

So, I, I walk into the hotel
room and there's

Ellen, she's demanding the rosary.

And I didn't want to say that you
had it.

So I did the whole,
take me to your leader thing.

- And cut a deal.
- A deal?

Yeah, with Harewood.

Two million Euros, cash.

One for you and one for me.

I thought you were in trouble.

You did bring it, didn't you?

You know what I had to do
for this, because of you.

Yes, well of course I do.

And that's why I want
to draw a line under it.

- Do you know how much this is worth?
- No.

A quarter of a million, max.

So why would Harewood,
or anyone else for that matter,

be willing to pay so much more
for it, let alone kill?

I took it to an antiques jeweller,

Amelie, she's gonna look
into the provenance for me.

Look, I appreciate your impulse to,
to find out what is going on,

but at this point, I don't
think we have any option

but to hand it over.

We could do our job.

What did you think you were going
to do when you took it?

Look.
I knew it didn't belong there.

So yes, of course,
finding its rightful owner,

it would be the next
appropriate step.

But in different circumstances.

Amelie said that she was going
to call me back by the afternoon.

Until then, we wait.

Ok. Fine.

Can we at least do that over lunch?

I bet two million
could get us a table.

Yes, so could the name Clios,
but that doesn't mean I want it.

It's not about the money,
you know that.

I was just trying get us
out of a bad situation.

You should've seen the size
of Harewood's bouncers.

And that's not a euphemism.

Thank you for coming to rescue me.

Hey, nobody puts Gaby in a corner.

Georgina?

Georgina.

I knew it, was you?

Come join us.

- Who's that?
- She's a friend of mine.

How are you? You look amazing.

And who is this?

Daphne, this is my friend Gabriel.

- Hello, Georgina's friend.
- Hi.

If he gets to be too
much, just ignore him.

- How do you do?
- How do you do?

- And this is my friend, Dario.
- Hey, hi.

Pleasure. Nice to meet you.

Surprise, I'm single.

Oh, I thought we had
something special.

Ok, take a seat, I'll go and get
some glasses for you.

So I have to ask, what happened,
with you and Raafi?

Oh, you know, life.

Oh, I'm sorry.

- Don't be.
- I'm not.

So, what about you?

What are you doing here?

Just business.

Oh, you're still curating?

No, I am in restitution now.

Ah, I knew you'd land on your feet.

So erm, how long
are you in town for?

I ran into Nico.

But you probably already know that by
now.

Do you sail?

Er, no, no, no, no.

I wouldn't know a crow's
nest from a poop deck.

Me neither.
That's her brother's department.

Oh, we're just here as cheerleaders.

We have to go.

Amelie?

I'm sorry, it's just erm, work.

It was really lovely to see you.

You too.

- It was great to meet you.
- Yeah, you too.

- Bye.
- Bye.

So what's the, what's
the deal between you two?

Long story.

What's with you?

What happened to your whole 'Hey,
baby/pull my finger' schtick?

Oh, no.

I, I just get a little bit shy
around beautiful women.

Thanks.

I mean, in quantities
of two or more.

Don't change the subject.
Who's, who's Nico by the way?

- He's her brother.
- Ah.

And he is the last person
I wanted to run into here.

What?

They both sail.

Who, who?

Nico and Alex Harewood.

Oh, I really hope they're not
wrapped up in this together.

Oh, that's a bit of
a stretch, isn't it?

I don't believe in coincidence,
of all the Gin joints.

Yeah, but half the town's
here for Les Voiles.

I don't like it.

Restitution?

The woman burnt down
her own art collection.

- It was an accident.
- There's no such thing.

- What else did she say?
- Nothing.

She said she was meeting someone
called Amelie for work.

But that, was it?

Look, I don't think she's
here for anything to do with us.

But you don't know that.

Oh, what's wrong?

I think she knew I was digging.

I mean it wasn't,
it wasn't pleasant.

Because you're
sentimental and sloppy.

I should've known you'd fuck it up.

Stay away from her,
she's no good for you.

One more drink?

She'll have water.

It was commissioned by a minor
royal in Saxony in 1752,

then stolen during
the Second World War.

Relatives of the family have had
a claim out on it ever since.

Does the claim mention
any unique features?

Ah, like this?

What about the note?

Well, the compartment
yes, but not the note.

That must've come later.

Do you have the name
of the claimant?

My contact is trying to find out
whether they're still alive.

It will take another day or two.

We can wait.

Look, we can't keep Harewood
hanging on any longer.

Well, we have to.

Why are you so obsessed
with where this thing's from?

It is what you hired me for.

No, I hired you to help return
family heirlooms to the relatives

of holocaust victims.

This a pseudo-royal
Euro-inbred, trinket.

That two people have died for.

Look, I know it's all my fault
and I cannot apologise enough

or any more.

But, there comes a point when you
just have to cut your losses.

I will talk to Harewood.

Ok, good.

And tell her what, exactly?

Daphne?

Georgina, hi.

Yeah, it was lovely
seeing you earlier.

Look, I was wondering whether you and
Gabriel wanted to join us?

- Us?
- Yeah, Dario and I.

Look, I'd had a drink at lunchtime
and it'd be nice to talk properly.

Without you having to rush off.

Ok.

Let me see how this afternoon goes.

And I'll give you a call later.

Great. Ok, bye.

Good.

You deserve to have
friends of your own,

whether your brother likes them
or not.

Friends like you, you mean?

Not like me.

Ok.

About time.

Ms Harewood will be pleased.

Well, you say that.

Hello, again.

Ah.

Ms Ryland, I presume?

- Please, Georgina.
- Alex.

Erm, how was your race?

We won, of course.

I think an acquaintance
of mine was racing too.

Ah, the Genie.

Yeah, it's a nice boat.

We're head to head in
the Bluebird Cup tomorrow.

Now, I take it you have
something that belongs to me?

I have a rosary somewhere safe,
if that's what you mean.

But I'm in the process of finding
out who it belongs to.

I thought we had a deal.

I'm afraid Gabriel temporarily
forgot that it's our job

to restitute stolen artworks.

I, I am here...

Even if you were the
ones who stole them?

I'm not sure that Luca owned
it in the first place

to have it stolen.

But seeing as I can't
contact him to check.

I think it's only fair that
I make my own enquiry.

Ok, if this is some attempt
to renegotiate your finder's fee,

then I'm happy to go
straight to the numbers.

Money is not the issue.

It is our professional and moral
obligation to return things

to their rightful owners.

Any information that you have
about the provenance

could be very useful?

Luca offered it to me
and I liked it, so we came

to a price, that's all.

With respect, I did notice a lot
of modern pieces on my way in here.

But I'm curious, what appeals to you
about an obscure religious artefact?

I may not have your eye Ms Ryland,
but I like what I like.

And you don't know of any other
claims against the piece?

Any other interested parties?

No.

Then I'm sure you'll be interested
in the results of our research.

And how long might
this research take?

Is there a rush?

Always a pleasure to meet
a woman of principle.

Likewise.

Nico Eltham, why did
she mention him?

On the buoy, I'm thinking
starboard tack round it,

pick up the spinnaker,
a bit of pace through,

and then I feel like we might...

- Mr Eltham?
- Yes?

Ellen Swann.
I'm Alex Harewood's Chief of Staff.

Let me guess. She wants me to throw
the race against her tomorrow.

From what I hear, that
won't be necessary.

Alex is investing in some paintings
and she's asked me to do due

diligence on certain
figures in the art world.

Georgina Ryland?

I'm aware of her.

I've been reading about your
dealings with her over the Clios

bank and I thought,
who better to talk to?

- Thanks for coming.
- Thanks for inviting us.

- Hey, how are you doing?
- Hi.

The cocktails are amazing.
Let's try the Negronis.

- Another two please.
- Please.

- Are you trying to loosen my tongue?
- No, no.

Ok, look, I'm sorry about earlier.

You were right to be suspicious,
Nico did ask me to report back

if I saw you.

- Well, thanks for being honest.
- No.

Of course, I mean listen,
I don't know why I listen to him,

he's so paranoid.

Anyway, I'm not gonna let him
ruin our friendship.

I think he's done
enough damage as it is.

Why does this suddenly feel like open
therapy, I'm sorry.

I thought you English only
talk about the weather?

Well, I'm American,
so we love therapy.

Your table is ready.

- Shall we?
- Yeah.

What, what about you? What do you do?

- I'm a cowboy.
- Wow.

Yeah, I got a few thousand heads
of cattle

on ranches around Argentina.

Oh, no shit?

Lots of shit now you mention it.

Are you all right?

You just seem kind of on edge.

No, no, no, I'm fine.

So erm, what's going
on with you and...

Ah, no. We're workmates.

Well, why not?

I know you did not invite me
here to talk about my love life.

Ok.

I just, I just wanted to talk.

I mean since last year,
nothing has been the same.

You know I've been trying
to carry on as normal,

but after what Nico did,
it's like I'm carrying this secret,

you know like I'm,
like I'm Pandora's box or something.

And if I open it up even a little
bit,

I'm scared it's all going to come
out.

Ok, it sounds really
stupid, doesn't it?

See, I told you...

No, it doesn't sound stupid at all.

Doesn't this look cosy?

- Nico.
- Don't get up.

Erm, have you met
Georgina's friend, Gabriel?

Hey. Friend?

Obviously you don't
know her very well.

Oh, well, no, I get the measure
of people pretty quickly.

Interesting, I was just talking
about you both with someone named

Ellen Swann.

Who's that?

It's not important.

Let's go.

It was really nice
to see you, Daphne.

- You too.
- Call me. Ok?

Georgina.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

Do you still think I'm paranoid?

All I'm asking is why
you invited her out behind my back.

How is it behind your back
when we met in the restaurant here?

I told you to stay
away from her, Daphne.

You won't be able to control
her in Buenos Aires.

When's this happening?

It's just pillow talk.

Dario.

- Daphne, this is my brother, Cesar.
- Hi.

A pleasure to meet you.

You are too hot for him.

Ok, I'm going to bed.

Daphne, we should talk...

Let her go.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Georgina is Daphne's friend.

I don't understand
what the problem is.

Georgina?

Georgina Ryland?

What do you think Nico
was talking to Ellen about?

I don't know, can't be good.

- Are you all right?
- Yeah.

Georgina?

When I said I wanted to see Daphne
to find out what they were up to,

I was only telling half the truth.

I wanted to see her because I
like her and I'm worried about her.

I just want to do what's right.

I want to be a person that
I respect, who tells the truth

to their friends.

You know that you can't
control everything?

Least of all Nico Eltham,
by the looks of it.

And the same is true
with this rosary situation.

But look, you've, you've got me, ok?

And I'll respect whatever
you want to do, even if it does cost

us two mill.

Oh, hello.

Hello.

I saw a necklace in your
window yesterday...

I don't open for another half hour.

Yes, yes, I know, but it's my
mother's birthday

and I've got to meet her this
morning.

Typical boy.

Ok, come.

Thank you, Amelie.

Closed until further notice?

She said she'd be here.

Do you think Harewood
got to her, somehow?

I wouldn't put it past her.

Georgina, I was hoping to see you.

I wanted to invite you
to race with me today.

I would love to but I have some pins
I need to stick in my eyes.

Oh, I actually have a proposition
I'd like to discuss with you.

Don't tell me, from Alex Harewood?

Maybe.

Or maybe from your
friends in Venice.

Ok. Stop pissing about.
What do you know?

Well, either way I'd
like to discuss it on the boat.

Away from prying ears?

You're not seriously
gonna do this, are you?

If he's thinking of
throwing me overboard.

He's blown his cover.

Oh, hi.

Thank you.

- No Dario?
- We're not joined at the hip.

Do you have any idea what your
brother wants with Georgina?

I was hoping you'd know.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Right. Let's go, let's go, let's go.
We're racing.

Go, go, go, go.

So, are you going to
tell me why I'm here?

It's come to my attention that two
parties want something from you.

Yeah, Harewood and who else?

Now, if you could pass that
certain something to me,

then you and your charming silver
fox can slink off into the night

unharmed, leaving me to pass it on,
one way or another.

Fifteen seconds to spinnaker down.

I asked you a question.

Who else wants the rosary?

It's probably safer not to know.

And what's in it for you?

That you never contact
my sister again.

Go fuck yourself.

Spinnaker down.

Spinnaker down.

Get it out of the water now.

Clear to turn? No.

- Tell me I'm clear to turn?
- NO. We are too close.

- Man overboard.
- Nico. What the fuck?

He said no turn.

Don't worry, the safety
boat will get him.

Take the helm. I'll take the bow.

Are you ready to tack?
Ready.

Don't make a sound.

Who the fuck, are you?

Let's go.

Dammit.

Well done. Well done. Now push.
Push. You've got this.

Keep her steady.

Nico, take the helm.

Take it.

I can fight my own fight.

Come on. Yes.

- I knew you could do it.
- Well, you're my lucky charm.

What a race.

Where's Gabriel?

At the bar.

Of course.

Oh, I can't see him. Strange.

Hello?

You need to bring the rosary
to the location that they send you.

Now.

Gabriel?

- Are you all right?
- What have you done?

Me?

Did you know about this?

- What?
- They've taken Gabriel.

Fuck.

- You?
- Thank you for coming.

My brother Cesar filled me
in on your adventures in Venice.

Where's Gabriel?

Please.

Hello, again.

Good race?

Cut him down.

Cut him down. Now.

The rosary first.

I put it in a safe place.

Just let him go.

You know I will do it.

OK. OK.

Put the gun down.

Just put the gun down.

Are you in on this with Harewood?

What about Nico and Daphne?

You know what, it's finished.

So maybe you should
stop asking questions.

A pleasure doing business with you.

Oh, come on.

Fuck!

Are you ok?

- Hello, sir.
- Hello.

- Just check out please.
- Thank you.

Your son killed my art
dealer and now he's taking hostages?

What next?

Were you just going to sit back
until they handed over the rosary?

It's the price of doing business.

Your election campaign is costing me
enough without any more dead bodies.

Like Tomas Castillo?

It's not my fault your plans
went wrong in Venice.

You should be thanking me for getting
us back on track.

You don't have to do this.

They strung me up
like a loin of pork.

Lead the fucking way.

- How much have you had to drink?
- Not enough.

- It's getting embarrassing.
- For who? Me or you?

Same thing.

I don't need you to babysit me.

All I'm saying is we're guests here.

Try not to make a show out
of yourself this time.

Georgina. Gabriel.

Just in time to toast our victory.

You spineless son-of-a-bitch.

Oh, I can see you're clearly
both in need of a drink.

You set us up.

Your brother acted as decoy whilst
I had a gun put to my head.

- Did you know about this?
- Of course I didn't...

That's because it's all lies.

Right, enough histrionics for one
afternoon, don't you think. Let's go.

One day, everything is gonna come
crashing down around you.

And I will be there to watch.

I look forward to it.

Is it true?

Oh, how could you be
so fucking naive?

Daphne.

Gabriel.

Come on.

Join me for a drink.

You're a piece of shit.

Not so tough without
your gun, are you?

Oh, your friend needs
to learn some respect.

Do you know, we have
an expression in English?

People in glass houses
shouldn't throw...

If we were in Argentina now...

Yeah, you'd go running
to your brother, wouldn't you?

My father is the mayor, you prick.

I think you need to leave.

Do you have any idea
what he did to Gabriel?

Cesar and Dario are not
my responsibility.

Then what is he doing in your house?

He was invited, unlike you.

His father is an old friend.

You're gonna regret
the day you ever met us.
