But I cannot see where it is heading

2.Bc4+ otherwise white gets perpetualed
2...d5
Now:
3.bxc8=B+ Qxc8
4.exd6+ e.p. Kd7 is no good

3.exd6+ e.p. would work but black plays Kd7 check! If it wasn't check then b8=N would be mate

I can't see it
Yeah there is a mistake, I put it into fritz and it had mate in 7 after:

1.Rd1+ Ke6
2.bxc8=Q Rh1+
3.Bf1 Qe7
4.Qd8 Rxf1+
5.Kxf1 Qxd8
6.Rd6#

Maybe you should move the king to f1 instead of e1
