So, to sum up, creative
problem solving -

techniques that allow us to move forward as
individuals, as teams, as an organisation.

Right. One last
thing before we finish.

Could you stand up, please?

Right, you catch it, you come
up with a different use for it,

if you get stuck use the
checklist - don't censor.

Erm... cut the bottom
off, attach four strings,

tie them to a silk canopy,
hot air balloon. Great.

Sterilise, crush, melt and
mince 100 bottles providing

fibrous polyester strands
which we weave into a fleece.

I'm sorry my brain's gone blank.

Relax. Use the checklist.

You have an idea, Gerry.

I 'aven't.

If it's sexual, it's
perfectly normal.

I'm sorry, sweetheart, nothing.

Don't block, Gerry.

I'm not. You have the answer.

I 'aven't. What are
you holding? Eh?

Say it, Gerry. What?

What's in your hand?

It's a bottle for Christ's sake!

I'm flattered you asked
me but you understand

it's taking a risk and I want to be sure
you've thought about the consequences.

Absolutely. You don't
want time to think about it?

I know what I want, Jack.

Always have.

Mobile rings sorry.

Oh, shit.

Hello.

'Where the hell are you, Jack?'

thanks. Take care. Bye-bye.

Goodbye.

Hello. Goodbye.

Aah. Sorry I'm late.

You're not just late, you
missed the entire workshop.

Oh dear, what a pity... Now,

what d'you think...

..This is?

Crystallised narcotic?

You apply heat, it
dissolves into a liquid,

allow that to evaporate leaving a
powder ready for sale on the street.

No. It's an extremely
rare uncut red diamond.

I didn't know you
could get red diamonds.

Where did you get it from?
Social worker, Elise Allen.

She recovered it from
a peabody flat in 1982.

The tenant, John Newman, died
leaving no traceable next of kin.

She was responsible
for clearing his flat.

Did she know it was a diamond?
Elise thought it was a crystal.

Go on, how much?

Astound me.

For insurance purposes, say...

£15 million.

What?!

Give it here.

£15 million for a
lump of carbon.

For a piece of history. That diamond
was around before the dinosaurs.

Here. Oh! Bloody hell.

A salute would suffice, guys.

Where's the
diamond? It was stolen.

What?! Here it is.

In 1982, thieves broke into
the poultry vaults in the city.

Poultry vaults,
that rings a bell.

November 14th, 1982.

They forced open 12
safety deposit boxes.

Got away with millions.
No-one was caught.

Who officially owns it?

Polestar insurance
made a £7.5 million payout

to a gentleman in 1983,
so officially it's theirs.

Furthermore, there were four smaller
red diamonds, also uncut, also never found.

They were part of the same haul.

Who was John Newman and what
was he doing with the stolen diamond?

That's a case for ucos.

John Newman was somehow
connected with the poultry vaults robbery.

He may even have done it.

Nice pad. Yes, husband was
a very successful architect.

He left her well cared for.

So she's single.

Widowed.

Elise.

Elise Allen, this
is Gerry Stanley.

Lovely to meet you.

You too. Come in. Thank you.

John Newman was
peeling potatoes in his flat.

He had a heart attack
and died. Who found him?

A wpc broke in
and found him dead.

Any signs of forced
entry, foul play, injuries?

The coroner recorded
natural causes.

He'd been on sickness
benefit for two years.

How long before they
found him? Not long.

The potato peelings
blocked the sink.

It overflowed and
flooded the flat below.

Presumably, if there's no next of
kin a load of stuff must get binned.

90% of it - anything of
value goes to the chancellor.

Unless, of course, it happens
to be a £15 million red diamond.

I know I shouldn't
have taken it,

but if I hadn't it would've been
sitting at the bottom of a landfill.

Why did you take it?

I was upset.

The sum total of a man's life

sitting there in five bin
bags waiting to be dumped.

Did you get any feeling for the
man, socially, was he rich, poor?

He had half a dozen
hand-made suits.

There were family photos, but none
of his family or friends came forward.

What about the funeral?
No-one turned up.

So when did you realise that
the crystal was in fact a diamond?

When I retired I took a
course in jewellery design.

The tools we used were the
same as the ones in Newman's box.

I started to wonder about
the crystal. There was a box?

That's John Newman.

There's another
roll of film here.

These are jewellers' tools.

He made regular trips from
London to antwerp and Geneva.

Sold the diamonds in antwerp, deposit
the money in a Swiss bank account.

This airline ticket's for
antwerp. December 7th, 1982.

Trip to sell the stolen diamond?

Hold on, problem.

This was also stamped in antwerp
airport 14th November, 1982.

The day of the robbery, so Newman
couldn't have stolen the diamond.

But was possibly connected
to the person who did.

So we need to find out who the suspects
were and establish a connection with Newman.

Maybe somebody on the
peabody estate remembers him.

You and Gerry find out. Brian, you and I'll
check through the old files... hang on.

..And see what we can come up with. I'd
rather go with Jack - more interesting work.

Maybe the flying squad
can take you out for lunch.

No, it's just I
can't work him out.

Maybe if I got inside his home
I might get inside his head.

Ok, fine, fine. Gerry and
I will do the donkey work.

I see, I'm not
creative enough...

Let's just get on with
it, shall we, Gerry?

Yes, ma'am!

Fran hunter used to
live underneath Newman,

moved into the
flat when he died.

Why did she do
that? For the view?

Miss hunter? We're from
ucos, we phoned earlier.

Hello. We appreciate you
allowing us to look at the flat.

It's nice to have
visitors once in a while.

Oh, mezuzah! Say that again?

Mezuzah, it's a token that
protects Jewish households.

I always wondered what that was.

Did you know John Newman?

He kept himself to himself.

Do you recognise
either of these two?

Daughter and
grandchild possibly?

Did you ever see him with
other people, friends, family?

To be honest, I don't
remember much about him.

I didn't hear a peep out of
him until the night he died.

What happened? I remember
because it was the night that Jr was shot,

and Dallas was just about to start and there
was this shouting match going on up here.

I lived below mr
Newman in those days.

Was it a violent row?

Was stuff being thrown? No.

In fact, by the time I got up here they had stopped
and Dallas was just about to start, so I left it.

I went back in, watched
Dallas, I was just about to get up

and the ceiling collapsed and
half the thames landed on my head.

Now Dallas started at 8.30.
How long for the sink to overflow?

10 minutes? That
would leave 50 minutes.

The coroner put the time
of death between 9 and 10.

I'd put it closer to 8.30.

That's how long it would take
for the water to pool and flood.

That means he had his heart
attack immediately after the shouting.

Or maybe because of it.

It was terrible really. I lived side by side with him
all those years, the only thing I can tell you about

the man is that he always looked
really smart and that he was Jewish.

You never said he was Jewish.

I assume he was. It was him
who put up that muz... Mez...

Mezuzah... Mezuzah thing.

Gerry! Come here a minute.

Thanks, I'll hold.

Have you ever had
a suit tailor-made?

Yes, I used to treat
myself when I got married.

Do men talk to their tailors?

He's measuring your inside leg, of
course you're going to talk to him.

So would you say that
your tailor knew you?

I'd say he had the
measure of me.

Ha, ha. Oh, look at this. You can't
keep a good criminal down, can you?

Les spitz, the prime suspect for
the poultry vaults diamond robbery.

East end boy made good or
bad, depending how you look at it.

Do you know him? Know of him.

Persil white now -
virtually establishment.

Jewellery trade. Why
was he a suspect?

Well, he pulled a similar
stunt a few years before.

I saw spitz once getting out
of this bloody great white merc.

I thought, "this
is a mug's game.

"I'm supposed to be the good
guy and I'm driving a Ford Capri!"

Would you have
swapped? Cars, definitely.

Hang on.

Yeah... ok.

Uh-hmm, uh-hmm...
thank you, that's great.

John Newman's tailor, sid
goldberg, still runs the family business

along with his daughter,
Ruth goldberg, in savile row.

Now if Newman had half a dozen suits made, that's
a lot of time to talk to your tailor, isn't it?

Good. Pin them up there.

And tell mr Freeman if he
wants it ready for the opening

he has to come in for a fitting.

Speak.

Ah, yes, the chocolate
leather and it has to be flexible.

Good.

Ah, where were we?

John Newman.

Take a good look.

No, still no.

He had half a dozen of your
suits hanging in his wardrobe

when he died. So he must
have been quite a good customer.

Average. Six suits - that's
two winter weight, two summer,

one morning, one formal.

Ruth, I'm busy.

Excuse me, new bond street are
still waiting for the black cashmere.

I need an invoice.

I'll find it, I'll find it.
Ok, you deal with it, sid.

Does the name Leslie
spitz mean anything to you?

I do not know Leslie spitz and I
can't remember John Newman.

Sid's lying.

How d'you know?
Woman's intuition.

You wouldn't have
picked up on it.

If I've so little intuition, how come I'm the
only one who's picked up on Jack and Elise?

What about Jack and Elise?

Haven't you noticed how
many times he says her name?

He has a very bad
case of mentionitis.

I've known Elise for 30 years.

She is professional, meticulous...
I'm not saying she took the diamonds...

She came to me because she
wanted it cleared up. Exactly!

We don't know if the diamonds
were... Elise is not capable of...

I'm just bouncing ideas
around, I'm not... hh-hmm.

How did you get on?

Neh. Sid goldberg doesn't
remember a client John Newman.

I bet he remembers a
client called Yosef neumann.

Forensics couldn't come up
with a match for John Newman,

but Interpol came up with a
perfect match for Yosef neumann -

a diamond cutter from Amsterdam.

Oil and diamond dust left an
almost perfect print on the box.

Neumann was imprisoned in
a concentration camp in 1943,

where he came into contact
with the criminal underworld.

After the war, he became a small-time
racketeer and diamond handler.

Sometime in the '50s,
he came over to the UK

and changed his
name to John Newman.

New birth certificate, new passport,
the lot. So he laundered his old identity?

Who do you think
you are, Rolf Harris?

It's a mind map. Symbols
and pictures allow the brain

to connect with an idea on
a deeper level than words.

Lists kill the creative process.

Come on, Elise,
I'll buy you a drink.

I'm Sandra!

They laugh night, Brian.

Gerry, that was pathetic,
mate. And shearer is in the box.

It's a goal! It's a goal!

They shout

horn blares

Oh, nearly... heh!

Play is a very important
part of creativity.

Yeah, well, right now I'm
more interested in crime. I've...

Just had neumann's
film developed.

Yosef. The family. Elise assumed it
was his daughter and granddaughter.

It looks like a wedding. Yeah,
that's highgate synagogue.

Now let me enhance that.

Do you remember...
Michael fagin?

Shinned up the drainpipe
into her majesty's bedroom.

Sat on the bed and asked
for a cigarette, didn't he?

7th June, 1982.

So we've got a date, a
synagogue and a wedding party.

Whoever got married knew Yosef.

You see, you take those
mental leaps and Jack's thorough.

Basically, I'm the only one
in the team that's not creative.

Gerry, it takes a lot of
creativity to be unfaithful

and you've been
very successful at that.

Yeah. Yeah, you're right.

Eh-up! 7th June, 1982 was
our friendly tailor's wedding.

Groom - Sidney goldberg.

Ha, best man - Yosef neumann.

Bridesmaid - Ruth neumann.

So Yosef knew Sidney goldberg
and had a daughter or granddaughter.

Yeah.

Same age and name
as sid's daughter.

Yeah. Ruth.

Yosef was sid goldberg's
best man, and Ruth...

Ruth goldberg is Yosef
neumann's daughter.

And the woman in the
picture is her mother?

She died in 1981 of
motor neurone disease.

They were never married, she
was 28 years younger than Yosef.

So, why did sid lie?

My assistant tells me you've
been asking about Ruth.

That's right, Ruth neumann.

Yes, um... I was...

..Protecting Ruth.

No, you were
wasting police time.

She puts her father up there on
a pedestal. He could do no wrong.

But he did. But he
did good things too.

He was the best diamond
cutter of his generation.

He taught war veterans
to cut diamonds.

How long did he work
with the veterans?

Three years. And then?

Then shramers - London
diamond merchants.

They wanted a cutter
to teach the apprentices.

When did he stop
working for shramers?

1980. Why did he
stop working in 1980?

His girlfriend was sick,

he was 58 and looking after a
small child and he couldn't cope.

My wife and I looked after Ruth.
Why you? Well, he was my cousin.

So what was Yosef doing while
you were looking after Ruth?

He was getting
ready for a new life.

He was taking Ruth back to
Holland. When? Did he have a date?

November 27th, 1982.

Ruthie was so excited.

She sat there with her little
case and her sandwiches

and she sat with her
coat on just waiting for him,

but... he never came.

Because he died
two days earlier.

Why didn't you come forward?

He was your cousin, best man,
he trusted you with his daughter

and yet you didn't attend
his funeral. I don't buy it, sid.

Yosef... he
compartmentalised his life.

I was afraid that if
he was investigated

the authorities would end
up taking ruthie from me.

Why disrupt her life any more?

What did you know
about his other life?

Well, in the camps he
picked up ways of surviving.

He fenced things for favours.

And when he came out, well,
he didn't change all those ways.

We're not judging him, we're trying
to find out who he was working with.

Do you remember any names?

No.

Leslie spitz? You've already asked
me about him. I'm asking you again.

About 40, at least, he would've been
back then. Drove a white Mercedes.

Ah, I remember a white Mercedes.

Yosef wanted us to
use it for the wedding,

but I wasn't going to drive to
the synagogue in a German car.

Do you remember who
owned the car? No idea, no.

Ok, thank you very much.

Oh, um...

Just a minute.

Yosef's apprentice, now his
father had a white Mercedes.

I'll ring your pa and fix a
fitting for your evening suit.

Excellent. Once again,
thank you. Pleasure.

Is this about my father? What
do you remember about him?

His hands were rough
from the diamonds.

He smelled gorgeous. Always
had mint imperials in his pocket.

It's not going to help you
with your investigation, is it?

Did you meet any of his friends?

Do you remember
the name Leslie spitz?

I was six when my father died.

My parents are just
ghosts, I've no funny stories,

there's no family friends,
no junk in the attic -

just one big blank.

What has sid told
you about your father?

I know that dad dabbled in
the black market after the war.

What if it turned out to
be more than dabbling?

I'd prefer it if he
were a war hero,

but if it turns out he was involved
in the child slave trade, so be it.

At least, I'd know the truth.

I wonder if Yosef ever
intended picking his daughter up?

What? November
27th? It's unlikely.

He had a return air ticket to
antwerp for December 7th, didn't he?

Yes. Get them to
check those dates.

And you're absolutely sure
about those dates? Great.

Thank you very much.

You've made two
old men very happy.

What you got? Right. Neumann worked
for the diamond merchant, shramer.

Yeah. And his apprentice from
1979 until he left in 1980 was ray spitz.

Les spitz's son. Yes!

Coincidence? Oh, yes!

So what's spitz junior up to these
days? Diamond dealer, bond street.

He's also a member of the diamond
exchange. Must be good then.

We've established a connection, but how do
we prove les spitz was behind this robbery?

We coax him out
with the diamond.

I'd come out to play for
£15 million, wouldn't you?

Especially if I still had
the four little stones.

You get to spitz senior
through spitz junior.

Gerry?

How creative are you feeling?

There you go,
how's that then? Eh?

What? Agh! I can't...

Look if I'm going to
town I've got to wear a tie.

Get with the times, dad.
That's it, that's a lot better.

Oh no!

Belt. Eh?

Belt. Ooh!

That'll be perfect. Let's
go see what the mums say.

Yeah, all right.

They laugh

a-hmm... ta-da!

There you go, girls, eat
your heart out. Ha, ha, ha!

Oh, dear. Another woman, Gerry?

Or do you think a suit would
be better for bond street, eh?

So she's quite a
bit younger then?

If you must know...

My boss has asked
me to marry her.

What?!

Don't ever do that again.

'Can I help you?'

yeah, we've come
to see mr spitz.

Morning. Hello, um, Nick Logan and
my fiancee Jackie driver. Georgina day.

Do you have an
appointment with mr spitz?

No, but we have a
diamond that we'd like valued

and we've been advised
that he's the man to see.

Well, mr spitz is
busy at the moment,

but perhaps if I
took an initial look?

Sure, yeah.

We believe it's a red diamond.

It's certainly not
a red diamond.

How can you be so sure?

Red diamonds are so
rare, you just don't get them.

I've been in this business
all my life and I've never...

I think I'd like mr spitz
to have a second look.

Could I say who recommended you?

Mr fishgrund.

Right.

Mr fishgrund?

Yeah. Bob fishgrund.

The nag's head darts
champion three years on the trot.

Oh, sorry, Brian, didn't
mean to wake you.

I was incubating.
Many creative insights

follow a period of incubation when the
conscious mind is attending to other issues.

Diamond cuts.

Designers patent them the
way you patent an invention -

the Parker brilliant,
the peruti cut.

Oh, by the way,
Elise's on her way over.

What now? Elise!

What a nice surprise.

I was just passing. I thought
you might like to have...

Lunch.

Oh, thanks very much.

I'll get my coat.

The more the merrier.

This engagement lark's a load
of old bollocks. It's just a test.

How many times have
you failed that test, Gerry?

Three. And not once did any of
them throw the ring back at me.

Nah, like I said,
it's a no-return.

Ray spitz, I'm
sorry to keep you.

I believe you have a stone
you'd like me to look at.

Where did you get it?

I was owed a lot of money and the
debt was paid off with the diamond.

So, no paperwork,
no Gia certification?

I'm afraid not, no.

Is it a genuine red?

Well, I'd like to take it to
the diamond exchange,

run a few further tests on it. No
problem. We haven't got anything planned.

No, no, I'm afraid
it's trade only. Ah.

But this is an exceptional case.

Let me see... See what I can do.

The diamond exchange.

The site holders buy lots or parcels at a fixed
price from the central selling organisation.

The divided lots are then
resold here on the exchange.

This whole industry
runs on trust.

Everyone knows everyone.
Most of them are family.

I think I'd want a bit
more security than that.

The greatest
security is secrecy.

It's a closed community.

A stranger here can only
mean one of two things,

either I've disgraced myself
and you've come to clear my desk

or... I've hit the jackpot.

So how did you get into
the diamond trade, mr spitz?

Oh, ray, please.
Oh, Nick and Jackie.

I was apprenticed
to... John Newman.

He was one of the best
cutters in the business,

until he lost his nerve.

What happened? In
1980 he had spent weeks

working out how to cut this
really beautiful pink diamond.

He got it on the wheel, got his
blade in and... Crack, it shattered.

He never worked again.

What business are you in, Nick?

Scrap metal, you
know, tankers, oil rigs...

Anything big and
metal we dismantle it.

How about you, Jackie?

I run creativity workshops.

Is Nick creative?

You should see what he can
do with an empty coke bottle!

It's, um...

A genuine four carat red.

Ooh, hoo, hoo!

Do you have any
idea of the value?

Cash value, no, no idea at all.

Well, name your price.
£10 million upwards.

Wow! £10 million!

At least.

What will you do? Will you
keep the stone? Or sell it?

I couldn't walk around with a £10 million
rock on my finger, I'd be terrified.

So would I! Well, I can
advise you on the cutting.

If you do decide to sell

my father could bring
interested parties to the table.

Jack Alfred?

Bill Tyson - serious fraud.
What can I do for you?

We've heard that you're
investigating Leslie spitz.

He's a lead in the diamond
robbery we're looking into.

Spitz is an ongoing
investigation for serious fraud.

We know he's getting laundered
money out of the country,

but we don't know how or
where he's putting it. He burps

as long as the file on spitz's open we need
you to go softly and run any plans by us.

I'll get the governor to give
you a call. It's a waiting game.

He'll trip up eventually,
they always do.

Stop the car, Gerry. What?

Stop the bloody car!

Sandra...

Listen, listen. Don't...

Police! Get out the car!

Oh dear, oh lord.

Our insurance company have
provided their own security.

I tried to tell you.

You knew! Yes.

You bloody knew!

Seat belt, insurance.

So, I slam on the anchors,
she's out the car like a shot,

she gets the geezer, bangs him
up against the car, gets the ID card

then... Gerry brought
you up to speed, has he?

Yes, I was just
about to do that.

There's a window polished
on the side of the stone,

which means that someone
had considered cutting it before.

In 1980, Yosef shattered
a very pricey pink diamond

along with his confidence,
he never worked again.

Where would he have got the
nerve from to cut a red stone?

Well, if he wasn't fit to cut it,
maybe he was fencing it for spitz.

Or double crossing him.

Here. What?

Oh, thanks.

COD and crown?
When did you go there?

Elise took me
and Jack for lunch.

What's his secret, eh?

Elise is a different class,
isn't she? She's gorgeous.

He's not interested. Well,
or else he hasn't noticed.

Well, he's mad...

Or scared.

That happens sometimes
after a dry spell.

It happened to me once
when when I split up with Alison.

Birds throwing themselves at me.

Just didn't have the bottle.

Well, the sexual impulse
is like a weed apparently -

it never really dies.

What never really dies?

We were just saying
that after a dry spell

it's not easy to get back in the saddle. If
it's sex you're after, there's plenty out there.

No, we're talking
about you, Jack.

You're talking about me
having sex? Lads, please.

We were just saying
- Elise fancies you.

It's a professional relationship
based on mutual respect.

You're too young
to understand, Gerry.

I may not be the most creative person here,
but I do know women and she fancies you.

She's widowed, the kids
have moved away, she's lonely.

Anyway, you're missing
the point. I'm married.

Yes, but...

Leslie spitz. You
must be Jacqueline.

Yes. And I must offer
you my congratulations.

Thank you, it is
an incredible stone.

I was referring to the engagement.
Leslie spitz. Nick Logan. Hello.

After you.

Family firm, is
it? No, I've retired.

Do you have the stone? Hh-hmm.

Faceted cuts
bring out the lustre,

the fire in the stone.

With a coloured stone like this,

you want to cut it to
bring out the intensity.

How long will it take to cut?

If it takes more than seven
weeks there's something wrong.

You're looking at a...

Step cut. This is basically
a sunflower emerald.

With these steep facets, you see,
you can keep the weight and the size.

Which is always good.

The dealer wants carat
because that's pure profit,

but the cutter wants the
best possible cut for the stone.

My son trained as a cutter.

The prima Donnas of the diamond trade, every
stone is unique, another shot at perfection.

Whoever cuts this stone...

..It'll change their life.

I think a pendant setting
would be absolutely spectacular

with the main stone
falling about here.

All you need is four little red
diamonds about a carat each to...

Frame it.

Leslie spitz was letting us know
he had the other four diamonds.

How are we going to play this?

Let him make the first move.

Come to us.

Look at this - this
card from Yosef's box.

It looks like Yosef was planning a
sunflower emerald cut for the diamond,

which is exactly what spitz junior's
suggesting. Poor old neumann.

He invents the perfect cut for
the perfect stone and then, bang,

has a heart attack.
What a bummer. Kismet.

It could have changed his life.

Spitz and son had a
disagreement about whether to go

for the perfect cut or cash.

Maybe 20 odd years ago, spitz senior
had the same argument with Yosef.

And maybe Yosef was planning
to Nick the diamond from spitz

in order to fund his
new life with Ruth.

Thank you for these.

It seems your father
was involved, Ruth.

In what exactly?

Handling stolen diamonds.

One? A dozen? Shiploads?

One definitely, but there are still
four small red diamonds missing.

Just one.

I was steeling
myself for a lot worse.

One worth £15 million...

Right. So now I know.

It's almost a relief.

If these photos jog
your memory, Ruth,

anything, doesn't matter how
small or incidental, will you call me?

Sure.

Ok, thanks.

Mobile rings

Gerry...

8 o'clock! It doesn't give me
much time to get ready. Where?

The Atlantic. I
hope he's paying!

All right. Pick me up at 7.30.

Bye.

Hi, there. Hello.

Sorry to keep you waiting.
Some champagne, dad?

I don't think I'll
join you. I'll...

Je prends le
poulet, s'il vous plait.

Well then, ray...

Why don't you take
Jacqueline to see the paintings?

You'll enjoy them.

He's a young artist,
but he's very good.

Thank you, but I'm perfectly
happy to stay here. No, really...

Go and look at the paintings.

I didn't want to embarrass you in
front of your, what is she your...?

Fiancee. Oh yes, you still want
to play games, that's all right.

Eh?

In one house I opened a
book and I found £500 inside.

Tell me you didn't take it?

Oh, yeah!

Of course not, Jack!

How is the investigation going?

I didn't invite you out to
dinner to talk about work.

How would you cut the diamond?

I wouldn't, I'd get rid of it.

Have you ever heard of
maslow's hierarchy of needs?

No. No, I haven't, no.

It's a pyramid.

At the bottom you've
got the basic needs -

food, sex, somewhere to sleep.

You satisfy those needs and
another need pops up - security, love.

In the middle you have esteem,
knowledge, then creativity.

That's where my son is stuck. He'd
be happy to cut that diamond for you.

But, you know, the really
beautiful thing isn't a red stone.

It's cash.

Well, I'm not at all creative and
I'd much rather have the cash.

But Jackie has set her heart
on that pendant you described.

The only problem is...

..Where do we get the
four little red diamonds?

Elise... you're a dear friend,

you're a beautiful woman, you're
interesting, you're great company...

I would make any man proud.

You certainly would. Except you.

Mary was always the woman
I loved, and always will be.

What is it you want? To
do some business with you.

This business is based on trust, I
don't trust you. I need more to go on.

Look, we both know that
that diamond is dodgy.

And your point is?

I'd like to do a deal
on the four reds.

You want to buy or you want to
sell? Buy. You're making me an offer?

I haven't got them.

I didn't finish telling you
about maslow's hierarchy.

At the top of the pyramid
is self-actualisation,

when you've become everything
you are capable of becoming. Yes?

I've done that.

Well, I'm very happy for
you. Is there a punch line?

I don't need to deal in dodgy
diamonds. Why would I do that?

Have I got "bloody idiot"
burned into my forehead?

Do you know what I notice...

On top of the pyramid?

No.

The world is full of scum, like
you, grubbing around at the base,

grabbing on to people like me
and my family, trying to get a leg up.

It makes me sick.

Donnez-moi UN steak bleu et une
salade verte et De chateau lafitte.

And you...

..You take your tart and
your stinking diamond...

..And you stay away
from my family. Hmm?

What a cock-up!

It's my fault. It
wasn't your fault.

If I had been more creative,
we could have had spitz.

No, it was my fault. I assumed he had
the diamonds, he assumed we had them.

We all assumed
he had the diamonds

and that he would
want to buy the big one.

Would you stop trying to take the
blame. I'm in charge, it's my call.

All right then.

It's your fault. Thanks.

Oh, shit!

What are you doing?

I want to get some cigarettes.

Oh, right. Goodnight, Gerry.
Goodnight, see you in the morning.

Yeah.

Doorbell buzzes

Gerry! Oh, my god! Who did this?

Spitz's boys.

We'd better get you to hospital.

Look, you can't keep punching
the living daylights out of villains

now that you're a
granddad! I didn't.

It was the other
way round. Grape?

Could you break
one off for us, please?

And I do hope you haven't
ruined that lovely suit.

You said you didn't like it.
All: Who said that? It's lovely.

Where's that doctor?

You couldn't go and find him for us,
could you? I've got to get out of here.

Are you all right?

Ok, thanks very much.
Gerry's boss, aren't you?

Yes, are you Carol? You
should be ashamed of yourself -

putting a man his
age in that position.

Well, unfortunately,
it goes with the job.

What if he'd been
seriously injured?

Who's going to take care of his
family then? How is he? Like you care!

He's just a stepping stone for
you and your fancy career, isn't he?

Doesn't bother you that
he's a father and grandfather.

He did pass the
police fitness test.

Gerry? Fit? He can't even bend
down and tie up his own shoelaces

cos his gut gets in the way.

He could do with losing a few pounds.
And he was treated for gout at Christmas.

Please, make this
stop. Excuse me.

You won't be happy until he's
on his knees in the knacker's yard!

How are you feeling?

Girls, give us a minute, will you?
We've got some work to talk about.

Lovely. Thank you.

See what I have to put up with?

Cor blimey, I don't remember
it hurting this much before.

That's age dulling the memory.

Oh, thanks very much.

Strickland's closed down
the case. Ha, ha, ha(!)

Oh, that really makes me feel
good about being beaten up.

There's still a chance that serious fraud will trace
spitz's Swiss bank account and get him out that way.

Listen, why don't
we get Interpol

to look at neumann's
Swiss bank account?

When was it last used?

1982.

What?

I bet you a tenner that
that account is still active.

Oh, good thinking!
Agh! Oh, sorry.

I'm really sorry. No, no...

Hey, sweetheart...

Ow!

It's all right, leave me alone!

So, option a - he was a double
crossing thief and a fence.

Or option b - he was a brilliant diamond cutter
who gave up his career to care for my mum...

We'll probably
never know the truth.

..And who was planning a
new life with his daughter.

Why didn't you
bring this in sooner?

Doesn't that mean
he was coming for me?

Well, without proof, we
can never know for definite.

I can. I have proof.

The four missing red diamonds...

He hid them in
his child's bracelet.

He risked his daughter's safety

just to smuggle those
bloody diamonds out!

I don't think they were more
important than his daughter.

They were his survival
strategy. How do you mean?

In the camps, it was useful if you had something
to pass on, and if it was useful, he wasn't killed.

So he'd been repeating that
survival strategy ever since? Yes!

They've got him. How?

Yosef's bank account
is still active. He, he!

Deposits and withdrawals have been traced to
a property development in Spain owned by...

Lesley spitz!

We've got the bastard!

Yes!

Governor?

Back down at the bottom of
the pyramid again, eh, les?

Still, prison will look
after all your basic needs.

With grateful thanks from
polestar insurance head office.

I just handed it to Jack.

They should have the cheque.

I'd very happily accept...
But it's against police policy.

We were only doing our
job, weren't we, Gerry?

You could always treat
me to a fabulous meal.

But that would be a date,
Jack. Friends go Dutch.

So the creative problem solving
course worked then, did it?

Yeah. Scamper - substitute, combine, adapt,
modify, put to another use, eliminate, reverse.

You twigged the Swiss bank account
had been p'd - put to another use.

How does he remember
all that stuff? I'm sorry but...

Oh, of course, the diamond.
Brian has it in the safe.

It couldn't be in safer hands. He
stuck to that diamond like a limpet.

What's the problem?

I can't remember the number.
