EPISODE 3

Rough diamonds are found in Fionn’s offices. Emer links this evidence to the bombings and warns Fionn his life is in danger. Christian finds Hadi has been beaten by a fellow officer; acting on the information disclosed, a round up of Muslims yields no breakthrough. Fionn asks his wife, Siobhan, to destroy an envelope also hidden in the restaurant and to help him leave Ireland. Fionn escapes, but the envelope is retrieved: the contents prove he owned the Antwerp apartment. Fionn, terrified, hiding in an airport hangar in Antwerp, decides to give himself up. Bibi goes to the hangar with Christian, but Fionn has vanished.

Shorter billing:

Emer has Fionn Brannigan firmly in her sights. As the net closes in around him, Bibi is feeling the pressure too. Especially when her wayward brother reaches out for help.

About Hidden Assets:

A routine raid led by Emer Berry, a detective in the Irish Criminal Assets Bureau, reveals that a small-time drug dealer has been receiving substantial funding from a seemingly untraceable source – not in cash, but in rough diamonds.  When these diamonds are linked to a series of bombings in Belgium, Emer is forced to work with Police Commissioner Christian De Jong.  Eventually, reluctantly banding together, they unravel a political conspiracy fuelling domestic unrest for financial gain; caught up in this web of greed are the Brannigans, a wealthy Irish dynasty with ties to Antwerp. Drawn into a battle of wits with the family, Emer, Christian, and the CAB team must follow the money to stop another terrorist attack – before it’s too late.
