Series 1, Episode 4
The net closes in on Dorfmann as he hides out - with a little help from Nadine - in Salzburg. Both Milcic and the E.E.C. fraud squad are hot on his tail, however, whilst he struggles to determine who is really behind the massive fraud for which he is now blamed. Returning to Brussels with the $20,000,000 seems both as difficult as ever and his only option to clear his name.
