From the transcript

If you wanna know the truth, follow the money. It's true the whole sorts of shadowy figures across the world, all sorts of illicit industries, or the hidden hands that seek to influence the world we live in, or enrich themselves from it.

Whether it's a public corruption scandal or a complex and costly fraud or an organised ring of criminals lurking in the underworld, everyone can lie, but follow the money, and the money always leads to the truth.

Across the continent of Africa, the hidden web of alliances, smuggling networks and state and black market partnerships have long protected one of the world's most lucrative secrets, the illegal gold trade.
