Bloodlands<\/a> ahead of the Northern Ireland-set drama\u2019s return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer later this month.<\/p>\nJames Nesbitt will be reprising his role as DCI Tom Brannick in the second run \u2013\u00a0 after it was revealed to the audience at the end of the first season that the mysterious assassin known as Goliath had actually been him all along.<\/p>\n
Unsurprisingly, he features prominently in the new trailer, this time working on a case concerning a murdered accountant and some missing gold, which we soon find out is linked to none other than Goliath himself.<\/p>
\u201cThe gold belonged to Goliath,\u201d says Charlene McKenna\u2019s DS Niamh McGovern, and although DCS Jackie Twomey (Lorcan Cranitch) is quick to retort that Goliath is dead, McGovern doesn\u2019t seem convinced.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if he\u2019s still out there?\u201d she asks.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, we also see Brannick share a discussion with new character Olivia Foyle \u2013 the murdered accountant\u2019s enigmatic widow played by Marcella\u2019s Victoria Smurfit.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou could help me find it,\u201d he tells her, and when she asks if he means helping him or helping the police, he answers that it\u2019s the same thing. But she responds: \u201cIs it?\u201d<\/p>\n
And we also hear someone accuse Brannick of being a dirty cop \u2013 so it certainly seems like he\u2019s going to have his work cut out to keep his hidden identity a secret throughout the season.<\/p>\n
