When a wealthy accountant is gunned down, DCI Tom Brannick (James Nesbitt) and his policing partner Niamh McGovern (Charlene McKenna) set to work untangling a murder conspiracy – one they soon realise is linked to missing gold, worth millions. Gold that Tom has seen before…
As Goliath, Tom intercepted a shipment of rifles intended for the IRA in 1998, and on receipt found eight bars of gold hidden alongside them. He kept the bounty for himself, using the threatening reputation of his alter ego to anonymously enlist a terrified Colin Foyle as his accountant, to keep it safe. When presented with Colin’s body, Tom realises he needs to find his gold before anyone – let alone his fellow officers – can get there first.
Season Two, Episode Five:
Tom is forced to suppress his rage in order to cover up the crime that Olivia has committed. Tom struggles to recover the gold – and evidence that could incriminate him – as a revelation from Izzy knocks him back. Olivia overplays her hand to disastrous effect and the American, Ryan Savage, converges on what he desires most.
