After one book that ended up in the remainder bins, novelist Byron Tiller's inability to pay the bills strains relations with his wife. Desperate for any kind of income, he meets Luther Fox, an Englishman who runs an exclusive escort service called Elysian Fields, and is offered a job. Hiding his new employment from his wife, Byron's's first client, Andrea, is married to a much-older Pulitzer Prize-winning author whom Tiller greatly admires. Complications develop as he tries to separate a professional obligation to a client from a professional interest in her spouse.

Hired to steal a rare painting from one of the most enigmatic painters of all time, an ambitious art dealer becomes consumed by his own greed and insecurity as the operation spins out of control.

Terry is a small-time car dealer trying to leave his shady past behind and start a family. Martine is a beautiful model from Terry's old neighbourhood who knows that Terry is no angel. When Martine proposes a foolproof plan to rob a bank, Terry recognises the danger but realises this may be the opportunity of a lifetime. As the resourceful band of thieves burrows its way into a safe-deposit vault at a Lloyds Bank, they quickly realise that, besides millions in riches, the boxes also contain secrets that implicate everyone from London's most notorious underworld gangsters to powerful government figures, and even the Royal Family. Although the heist makes headlines throughout Britain for several days, a government gag order eventually brings all reporting of the case to an immediate halt.

1964-1966年是摇滚乐的文艺复兴时期，在本集中，我们看到英美摇滚乐团相互较劲的有趣历史。尤其是在1960年代英国摇滚乐团披头四（The Beatles），风潮从大西洋西岸的英国反扑至东岸的美国纽约，甚至蔓延至全世界。这四位来自利物浦的大男孩，从家乡的小酒馆变成全球少男少女的偶像。没想到四十年过去了，披头四的魅力至今仍未递减，反而成为全球重要的次文化现象。影片便从披头四的发迹史谈起，再为观众介绍英美两地摇滚乐团的不同，也为观众引介了像是滚石、史密斯飞船的摇滚乐团，比较两地之间的差异。 本集收录了1963年的披头四演唱片段、1965年的滚石合唱团演唱片段，及当时正值青春年少的Kinks及谁合唱团。海滩男孩回忆当年英国摇滚乐团如何激发了他们的创意。The Temptations、Supremes及Lovin Spoonful的演唱实况，重现摇滚乐那个创意勃发的年代。
