Part 1
The team are called in when workmen dislodge two conjoined bodies in a former City bank, which folded after Black Wednesday.
A gold ingot links to a river corpse the team identify as Brian McGurk, aide to an Irish Ambassador. The bank corpse is director Mervyn Simmel, suspected of skipping the country with the bank's funds. The female corpse is journalist Katherine Keane whose biography is being researched by Lisa Tobin. The team check out her previous lovers City Alderman, Philip White, and shadow Trade and Industry Minister, Ian Taggart, and question Simmel's former co-chairman, Lucien Calvin.
Eve finds evidence of mortification on Katherine's thigh which could link to Opus Dei. The team learn that McGurk was on charitable trust boards with Simmel and the disturbing Calvin. Boyd and Spencer join DI Bailey from the Garda in Dublin where they find Katherine's husband, drug-dealer Declan Keane. Boyd and Spencer see a masked figure as they chase after Declan. Boyd finds Declan hanging from a bridge between two roofs. He screams at Boyd not to kill him. Boyd tries to pull him up but Declan falls. His bag splits, revealing gold ingots.
Part 2
Grace discovers Katherine gave away a child who was Lisa Tobin. Boyd and Spencer trace two safe deposit boxes. One - for her and Simmel - is full of gold ingots. Bailey was an arresting officer when McGurk crashed his car in Dublin some years back. Stella realises Clive Marlow, a rich client of Calvin's, is officially missing.
Eve discovers Katherine was dying of a brain tumour when she was killed. Lisa is abducted by a gunman. Grace realises Calvin's parents committed suicide and he always blamed himself. He was scared of becoming bankrupt. The team trace the gold to another bank in the city. Turncoat Bailey removes it only to have a knife held to his throat by Calvin. Eve links a saliva sample from the scene to White. Meanwhile, White is denied forgiveness by Opus Dei leader Keegan. On searching Calvin's house, the team discover the body of Clive Marlow in the freezer.
Boyd and Grace find Calvin upstairs conducting a ritual. Calvin raises a kitchen knife to Boyd but Bailey, throat slashed, shoots Calvin. Boyd holds Bailey as he dies. Boyds finds Lisa to whom gunman White hands over his weapon. She avenges her mother's murder by shooting White.
