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 Three:
Tom and Olivia race to track down the gold before the police can find it. Olivia proves her worth by sharing information with Tom, that leads him and Niamh to a major breakthrough and an arrest. But the more Tom hears about Olivia from other sources, the more he realises she cannot be trusted.
