Episode 5

1 My marriage was a sham.
I'm with the Interpol Serious Financial Crime Agency.
Your husband had the copy made for some oligarch - to put on his yacht.
- I see it in you now.
- That look.
- What look? Revenge.
They were laundering money on a massive scale.
You know, you learn so much more about people after they're dead.
I've found him.
I found John Brandeis.
Choosing a blind man? That is the Constantine Clios touch.
A blind art dealer? There is no Jon Brandeis.
It was just Constantine, moving money around.
We don't know that, Georgie.
We don't know Constantine’s side.
He wasn’t the only one using the safe room.
Christos was too.
No one is who they seem, are they? Christos is an addict, do you think he’s capable of this? There is no Jon Brandeis.
You're right, I have to talk to Christos.
Hello? Hi yes, this is Georgina Clios, I’m here to see Christos.
He isn't still in here I'm afraid.
Can you tell him again that I'm trying to reach him? Of course, goodbye.
Hey, thanks for meeting me here.
Well I thought we'd better speak face to face.
What, what is it? - I checked the Brandeis account.
- And? The Malevich money, the $30 million, it was in the account - till a few days ago.
- What do you mean? It’s gone.
- Gone? - Aha.
But that means that someone had to take it! After Constantine died.
- All of it? - Yes.
And if Constantine didn’t take it then Christos.
He's the only one who had access to it.
What do you wanna do? I'm gonna get some answers.
- Ok.
Cash or card? - Cash.
Wouldn’t want my husband to find out.
No, those should go in the back.
You take all of those in the back.
So this is good, good, good, I like all this.
You know Patrice, it’s here is the important part, it's like here we want them.
This! This is what they see, the rest is Who looks back here? No-one, right? That’s where people come in.
That’s where people see.
No, this is the wrong it’s 03.
That’s not 03.
You’re pretty, you have a pretty mouth.
All the pretty girls in the hallway, you know, and you can come with me.
It’s good, you look good.
What the fuck? It's gonna be a long day.
She's gone.
Nadia? Oh, I look awful.
Can we try something new? What kind of statement would you like to make? Something that says, "Don't fuck with me?" Fuck! Perfect! Just sprucing up for some marathon schmoozing.
Sorry, I’m just looking for an earring.
I think you look perfect as you are.
Very funny.
It’s nice.
It suits you.
Is it new? You don't remember? I was wearing it the night we met.
- The opera.
- Oh, yes of course, how could I forget? You looked very handsome that night.
And I remember thinking.
"Wow, "my new step mother’s about ten minutes older than me!" Whatever's going on.
Whatever trouble he's left us with.
I'm here.
Is it that obvious? You’re not alone, you know.
It’s all so confusing.
You smell like him.
Feel like him.
No, Adam.
Oh, hello.
Sophie, you came! Yeah, my dad’s going to kill me.
If you see your brother, send him my way.
Yes, Mother.
It's so nice to see you.
Your attention, please.
Tonight is a very important gala so the standard of service must be impeccable.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Georgina! Hey! Georgina! Georgi! Patrice.
Where the hell is Christos? Someone needs to be in the main room.
And the hall.
Originality thrives in the non-commercial sector.
The survival of the elite depends on resistance.
On the anti-institutional.
It's a beautiful symbiosis.
We feed off them, commodifying and using them, and then turn up at splendid balls like this.
- Madame, it's wonderful to be here.
- Thank you.
Excuse me.
Wow! You could've made an effort, Georgie.
Kill me now.
- Hey! - Oh hey! - Funny little dress.
- You're such a little bitch, Dom.
Ok, who wants to get high? - That's not very much for three, is it? - I do.
Ah, we can do blowbacks.
Blow backs? What, what? - Blowbacks.
- What is that? - Who's got a light? - I got a light.
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you for coming.
Everyone.
Thank you for supporting the Foundation.
As you all know well, this auction is part of the Clios heritage, and we are so glad to see the same familiar faces every year.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you.
And, of course, we thank Georgina for the pleasure of this beautiful location.
Which is very dear to my heart.
Let’s celebrate our beloved Constantine by having a good time tonight.
Adele Letissier, leading light of the International Opera scene.
Take it away! Georgie? Is everything Georgie? What is this? Is this live? Oh my God, you are fucking hardcore.
How long's he been down there? Not long enough.
Adam.
The auction’s about to start.
Christos hasn't turned up.
What an idiot.
What's he playing at? - You have to run the auction.
- Me? - Hi Irina! - Hi.
Yes.
Fucking Christos, are you serious? Yes! You're the oldest.
It has to be a Clios, naturally.
There’s a way things are done this night, this gala it's vital for the reputation of every one of us.
Great.
You haven’t seen this before.
I don't think so, no.
This is all very impressive.
That’s very kind of you.
A vision! Oh, forgive me, I had a few things - I had to tie up.
- Please.
Not another word.
So impressive of you, I thought, to hold such an event so soon after your terrible loss.
- I’m sorry, I hope that wasn’t - No, at all.
- You look like you could use a top up.
- Absolutely.
This is the centre of the collection.
You’ll find this in the main room.
All the artworks are to be removed and all of them handled with the utmost care.
We enter the property at midnight on my command, is that clear? - Yes, sir.
- Alright, let’s go.
Good evening, everyone.
Good evening, everyone.
Ok, let, let's not stand on ceremony let's ah Jump straight in with, item number one in your catalogue.

Beginning bidding at Fifty thousand.
Now don't be shy, do we see fifty? Anyone? Fifty, good.
Do I see fifty-five? Fifty-five, I see fifty-five.
Do I see sixty? You madam, can we see sixty? Is that seventy, sir or Wonderful hair.
70! - Thank you very well! - Auctions can be pretty torrid affairs.
Yes, I believe the last time you and I saw each other we were both bidding on the Malevich.
You won that one I guess.
Have you still got that Mondrian, the study for Composition No.
2? Red and Blue.
Yes, of course.
That’s one of our favourites.
Constantine hung a Rauschenberg next to it and would talk about the unbroken tradition between the two.
Yes, your son was saying a similar thing.
Step son.
I didn't realise that you two were close? We were talking about the collection.
I was interested, of course.
Sorry? I was just saying No matter.
Georgina, have you seen Dom or Sophie? I’ve lost them.
No sweetheart, I haven't.
I’m sorry you were interested Are you ready to talk? - You can't do this! - Christos.
- You're psychotic! - Maybe.
- Give me the bloody key.
- First tell me Tell you what? Give me key! Give me the fucking key.
- Christos.
- What is it? What do you want? Ok, for starters, I have Geoffrey Anderton upstairs eyeing up my collection like it’s a fucking yard sale.
Anderton? Is that what this? Fucking idiot, it’s called a valuation, are you insane? - Those are my paintings! - Give me the fucking key.
I met Jon Brandeis.
Good for you.
Not really what I expected.
Well, who is? You, for example.
No one had you down as such a cunt.

Enter the property from both sides.
Hello.
Are you crying? No.
- So boy trouble? - Not exactly.
Why don't you come back to the party? Your brother's doing a very fine job.
I just lost out to dance with a beautiful woman.
Maybe I could have one with you? No, thank you.
Well, surely there's something we can do to cheer you up.
Pretty little thing like you should be enjoying yourself.
Do you like to get high? Naughty girl.
I only have this much.
But we can do blowbacks? It's been a while since I've heard that.
I don't think so.
Do you have a light? Sure.
I knew I could be of some use.
Stupid fucking bitch.
You don't know anything.
Isn't it time you fucked off back to Wisconsin or whatever fucking hole you came from? Brandeis was the front.
Obviously.
To launder money, right? So what, your dad didn't think he had enough? The bank was fucked.
Dad compartmentalized.
He was trying to save the bank.
How? How? Elena.
Who is she? You're missing a fantastic party.
What are you doing? Oh, relax, Mum.
Adriana, go back inside.
- Irina, hold on.
- Don't.
She's a child.
- I'm not a child! - What are you doing? - What are you doing? - Adriana! I'm just trying to be "normal" for once! God, you ruin everything.
It's like you live to fucking embarrass me.
You don't need any help with that, whoring yourself.
No.
Because I learned from the very best.
Excuse me, please.
You never strike me as the jealous type, Irina.
How dare you.
What? She, she was crying, I just sat next to her.
She is my daughter.
I don't want you anywhere near her.
Oh, what makes you so upset? You were never the most scrupulous mother, it doesn't suit you.
I think you should leave.
I'd like that very much, Jakob.
Leave? Yes.
Leave.

To get back at you.
