With assistance by the British government, they move to Cape Town, South Africa, to live new lives and identities to avoid CIA detection, though they are no longer allowed to contact each other or their families. After another attempt on their lives, they are informed that the drug operation was organised by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), who are using the operation to fund black operations, and as a result of the four's interference a kill contract is out against them. Mackenzie tricks them into boarding a ferry for Morocco, where they are arrested and sent to a black site prison in the desert. When they are €100 short from a speeding fine, Mackenzie makes the four produce fake ecstasy for a nightclub, at which point he allows them to return home with five million euros that were paid to them by the nightclub, though Carmen is left behind. The four are forced to return the money in exchange for their lives. Quinn is kidnapped by Mackenzie ( David Warner), an elderly British expatriate who is revealed to be the leader of the drug operation. They soon realise they are still being hunted when their rental car explodes. The four are being aided by local Ibizan Carmen ( Leticia Dolera), who begins a relationship with Baxter. They leave with the money and accidentally board a ferry to Ibiza (their intention is to go to Barcelona). The other three run over Dominic to save Quinn. María later attempts to kill the four when employing scare tactics to make them part with the cash fails to work, but is shot to death by Quinn. Alvo is revealed to be a part of the operation, and was murdered when he no longer wanted to take part in it. Using video camera footage of their holiday, Baxter learns the real perpetrators are corrupt police officers, including María and her superior Dominic ( Tim Woodward). Afterwards, the four learn from María (María Botto), a local detective, that they are caught up in a Serbian mafia drug smuggling operation. The four clean the boat to remove evidence of their presence, when they are mistaken for drug dealers and paid three million euros. Over time Alvo's behaviour becomes increasingly erratic, and he is later killed by a man in a Tony Blair mask for taking a drug boat the group used earlier.
