- After burying "Tiny Blair", the four see flares firing overhead, followed by a power cut in the villa, which Woody believes are scare tactics set up by the Serbians. The next morning, María returns to tell them the police have found the boat, and the Serbians may be after them, and gives them one last chance for protection. Woody turns it down, not believing she is a police officer. The four get into another argument, resulting in a fight, but later reconcile. Through their video cameras and footage from the boat Rick took, Baxter realises that Alvo was involved in drug smuggling, and that María manipulated the four; there was no Serbian mafia, only corrupt police officers. After they record the video messages shown in the first episode, Lottie returns with the car. The four prepare to leave the money behind while they proceed to the airport, but are stopped by María who intends to kill them, but Quinn kills her first. He then reveals that he will stay behind with most of the money, while the others return to England. In the end, Quinn sees an armed Dominic , the detective who organised the drug running, approaching the villa. (en)
- The men arrive at the British Consulate, only to learn that their kill contract is still active. After escaping from the police, they return to Baxter's apartment, where they learn Rick has an ankle monitor. Woody removes it and throws it to a passing truck before they gain more police attention. They reunite with Mercedes at Quinn's bar, who helps them leave Cape Town. The group come across a tribal gang on the way, who are rumoured to have been snatching corpses, and cutting them open to use their internal organs to create "dwarf zombies". However, when they arrive at the village of the tribe after failing to tie a float which they lost Mercedes gave them, they learn the tribespeople speak fluent English, and had in fact taken the presumed "corpses" to local hospitals to save their lives - the accident victims had not in fact been dead. The tribe allows the men to stay overnight. The next morning, a member of the tribe tells them to keep walking in a particular direction. After walking for an indeterminate amount of time, Rick's Tikoloshe appears in front of them. (en)
- Two weeks previously, it is revealed that Alvo wished to stop working for Mackenzie, but he, Dominic and María pressure him to do another job. In the present, the group decide to wire transfer their savings and Hector's commission to raise the money, but they are still €54,000 short. Carmen suggests they break into a safe in the nightclub where she works. After they agree however, Woody recalls Alvo left €50,000 in his safe . They manage to break into the safe and Quinn sells his watch. Woody and Baxter also steal from two living statues. After recovering the hidden money from the church , they journey to the rendezvous. They meet with Mackenzie, but inform him they are short €100; earlier they were pulled over by police for speeding, and had to pay the fine with some of his money. (en)
- Mackenzie assigns the group a task at which point they would be free to return home, but forces Quinn to stay with him in his caravan. Mackenzie admits that although he is rich enough, he cannot let the three million euros go because of his reputation. The rest are instructed to pick up supplies to produce ecstasy from a cabana. En route Baxter returns for Carmen. After making the ecstasy, Carmen exits the van to wait for Baxter later. They deliver the ecstasy in a nightclub. After they receive five million euros as payment, they drive back to Mackenzie's caravan in time to save Quinn. It is revealed that Mackenzie made them produce fake tablets to fool the nightclub owners. Mackenzie lets them go, instructing them to board a cargo container, which will take them back to the mainland via ferry. As an extra, he allows them to keep the money. Baxter is forced to leave Carmen behind, though he intends to contact her when they arrive in Barcelona. However, they later find that Mackenzie has tricked them; the ferry arrives in Morocco and the money is confiscated by armed men, who arrest them. (en)
- When the four and Carmen find Quinn's wife, they are shot at, prompting them to hide in the panic room. They find that they are being stalked by a man in a Tony Blair mask, leading the group to believe that the Majorcan drug gang are out for revenge. When Shani arrives, Woody makes her go to Quinn's bar. When the assassin follows her, the group leave to rescue her, arming themselves from Quinn's weapons cache, although unknown to Quinn only two of the guns are loaded. They find themselves chased by more men in Blair masks, prompting them to hide in a shelter after escaping a traffic jam. They hear a noise of a homeless little boy, but believing they are the sounds of the assassins, Baxter empties his pistol, inadvertently killing Carmen. They are forced to leave her behind and drive to the beach where one of Rick's friends has arranged to meet. However when they arrive, they realise they were set up, finding a large group of gangsters and Dominic, who capture them. After the gang put the hoods over their heads, they appear as if they are about to be executed, however they later realise the entire gang has left them alone. As they drive away, Baxter sees a car pass with two men in Blair masks. One of them unmasks himself to reveal another Baxter. After they ponder if their ordeal is over, their car drives past an unfinished interchange, and plunges.

On Twitter, Max Beesley confirms the episode's ending from another user: The four were indeed executed on the beach, and their souls left to realise their past mistakes. The Baxter behind the Blair mask represents the four as their own worst enemies, and the four drive off the interchange to an unknown future. (en)
- "Tiny Blair" takes steps to frame Baxter by rubbing the gun on his face and forcing him to spit into a handkerchief, which he then pockets. Before leaving, he warns them not to go to the police, claiming to be an officer himself. The four bury Alvo's body and spend the night cleaning the scene, agreeing that should the police get suspicious about Alvo's disappearance, they will say he went to the mainland. Rick recalls leaving his video camera on the boat, containing visual evidence of their presence . They proceed there to clean away all evidence of their presence when two men arrive at the boat and find bags of cocaine. Thinking the four are the owners, they are paid three million euros. They return to the villa and decide to hide the money in a rental car until they leave for England at the end of their holiday. Upon returning to the villa, police arrive, headed by detective María . She interviews the four individually about Alvo's behaviour. In the end, María discovers Quinn's camera and through it witnesses the five of them talking about the boat. (en)
- After another visit from María, the four come to realise that they have been caught up in activities set up by the Serbian mafia. Knowing the mafia were responsible for the murder of Jesus, the owner of the boat, who had his hands and feet removed, Rick panics, and the four get into another argument. They later decide to bring Alvo's body to the boat, and cut off his arms and feet to make it look like a mob hit. When they return to the villa, "Tiny Blair" demands to know where the boat is; Rick disarms him. The four plan to reason with the mafia by demanding safe passage back to England in return for him. They decide to bring the tape to the police, but after realising the police may not be involved in the first place, they go to the same hotel Lottie is staying to ask her to drive the car holding the drug money to the villa for the following day. After returning to the villa, they find somebody had previously broken in and executed their prisoner, leaving behind the message; "we told you not to go to the police." (en)
- The four arrive at the home of Lazaro , a retired CIA agent. Lazaro returns home to find the four fighting and breaks them up. The men explain what has happened to them and ask him to remove their names from the hit list. He complies, and reveals to them what happened to their families, such as Rick's wife divorcing him for desertion, and Quinn's father has had his telephone cut off for not paying the bill. Later, they have a celebratory dinner where Lazaro gives them peyote, which makes them euphoric. They each have separate dreams relating to the people they met in Cape Town. The next morning, Lazaro reveals he intends to kill them as revenge for the death of María, who happened to be a CIA agent. The four subdue the agent, though he escapes and is about to kill them, when Mercedes arrives to shoot Lazaro dead. She later sends the CIA an instant message, fooling the agency that the four men are dead. Mercedes gets a friend with a helicopter to fly them to Cape Town. She waves goodbye to them from the house, as does the Tikoloshe who only Rick can see, Rick waves back. (en)
- Two years later in Cape Town, it is revealed that Rick, still being haunted by the Tikoloshe, is a drug dealer who is later arrested after dealing to an undercover narcotics officer. Meanwhile, Woody is buying black market pharmaceuticals for local hospitals while in a relationship with Shani, Quinn runs a bar while having an affair with a French diplomat's wife, and Baxter runs his own legal firm, though he is not a registered lawyer in South Africa. A young female client learns of this and blackmails him. Baxter later stumbles upon a news report stating that MacKenzie was shot to death, indicating that the CIA operation has been shut down. Baxter tracks down Quinn's bar, leaves him a note, and Quinn, who is secretly in touch with Woody, relays the message. The three meet at a beach and track Rick to an addiction meeting, where Woody, disguised as an addict, helps him escape, with the help of Shani's son who guides the guards in the wrong direction, the four reunite and set off their plan to return home.
