Max and Rachel's attempts to distance themselves from the Costa del Sol drug runners fails miserably and they are forced to hand over a large slice of equity in their Brazilian development to be used as a money laundering scheme. Max unwisely vouches for his feckless brother Paolo to front the deal and to be the main contact in Brazil but as usual Paolo can't control his urge to party and gamble particularly in a city where both vices are easily sated. Back in Spain Jack and Bridget start to build their new lives thinking that they have the perfect plan for retirement with highly explosive information hidden away on the dark web keeping them on the untouchables list.
