The story so far
Everything you need before watchingNaomi is crying: Aunt Emma is dead. Jordan plays grief, then asks the Swiss where that leaves the account. He has to reach Switzerland now, before probate eats the money. He bullies Captain Ted into chop, plots Monaco so nobody stamps a passport, and tells Naomi the body can wait. She will still be dead by the time they get to London. Watch condolences turn into a shipping schedule.
