Original subtitles

The gang's last robbery was a jeweller's.

Innocent member of the public got shot.

DOOR WHIRRING

How did you find out that they're meeting at the ice rink?

Well, I saw a text on Liam's phone.

'Do you talk a lot with Liam?'

Yeah. Because how else can I get close to him?

Anything you can get on that woman there in the navy blazer.

She's Chandra Baskhi. She works for the steel millionaire Amir Joshi.

I'm getting you through the tech. Those are nothing to do with me.

You're in this now.

There is something about this I don't feel comfortable with.

We don't wanna park too close.

Please be careful around Liam.

SEAT BELT CLICKS

Alison, spit it out.

OK. If we...

If you got Liam on, er, conspiracy...

Conspiracy, yeah.

..how long would he be looking at?

Put it this way - if you help us get him,

before they go in with guns, then he... he might have a life.

Right. OK.

Alison, if you have feelings for this guy, there's...

You... No, Liam likes me.

I'm just playing along. Yeah. There's a fine line...

Look, I know what I'm doing.

KNOCK ON DOOR, KEYBOARD CLACKING

HE EXHALES

So...

One kiss, and then you just ran away?

HE SIGHS

I'm sorry.

HE CHUCKLES SOFTLY Do you wanna...?

I, er...

I've been away a couple of days, that's all.

Visiting a mate.

And moving to a new place?

Er, yeah. Braden needed his old place back.

So just like that? Yeah, it was urgent.

Is this all about your job?

Are you trying to protect me from... whatever it is that you're doing?

I can't tell you anything more.

And I completely understand if that's not enough for you.

Mm. OK.

No more questions.

SOFTLY: Except one more.

CHUCKLES SOFTLY Mm.

Are people gonna get hurt?

Look, I know what sort of guy Braden is,

but brains...

..trumps brawn.

Always.

Hm.

I wanna see you again.

I wanna see you every day,

if you'll let me.

But I can't tell you what I'm doing.

JAMES: Ben, walk us through what we know.

OK. Chandra Baskhi. Oversees transport for Amir Joshi.

Could've been Chandra who alerted the gang to the jewels.

And we have a confirmed location on where the jewels are right now?

Yeah. The family have an account with Croesus International Vaults.

Their London branch is in Mayfair.

And we've finally found the mysterious "Sammy".

Genius used his credit card at the bar.

Sammy Turner, software engineer at...

Croesus International. Mm-hm.

And we've contacted the company or the auctioneers?

No, we don't wanna spook anyone, but the auctioneers have confirmed

the jewels are going on sale in five days.

Which is promising, but the gang stopped communicating.

You're not getting around weight-sensitive vaults

without some kind of rehearsal.

Yeah, exactly. So where are they practising?

Because unless we gather evidence for a conspiracy charge,

we've got to move in on them at the vault, and then we risk bodies.

So... JAMES SIGHS

Let's keep all eyes and ears open. Let's look at lock-ups.

Let's find out where they're working from,

where they're keeping their weapons.

Let's dig. Quietly.

DOOR OPENS

DOOR CLOSES

Thanks. Cheers.

DOOR OPENS

What can I get for you?

You're a friend of Liam's.

Yeah.

How did you...?

I'm Helen. He must've mentioned me.

I learned not to ask.

Good.

Liam's asked to take you on a work trip.

As I'll be paying, I thought I'd better get a proper look at you.

And...?

Where did you work before The Tap?

At the Orchard House Cafe.

Have you been? No.

Mm. LIQUID POURING

Liam says that you live with your mum.

Yeah. No dad around?

BOTTLE CAP UNSCREWING

He left.

Is that everything?

Yeah.

I reckon so.

Are we going away?

At The Tap, a woman came by, and she said that she was your boss.

Really?

She gave me a right grilling.

I'm sorry.

So, where is Helen taking us?

Fancy hotel.

Separate rooms, obviously.

Mm.

So, Liam has invited me away.

Overnight?

A day trip.

Is it mostly work, or is it mostly fun?

Healthy mix... I hope.

So...?

I need to find something to wear.

ASHLEIGH: 'London again?'

He didn't say. Must've said something. I mean...

I mean, did he tell you what the trip was for?

Sorry I'm late. Traffic was awful.

Liam is talking to Alison again.

He did tell me...

that he has a plan to make sure no-one gets hurt on this job.

So he's starting to trust you.

I suppose he must.

OK.

Thoughts, Ash?

Yeah, I think you should go. I think she should go.

OK. Anything you can get from Liam,

anything... Yeah.

..could be essential.

Wow.

Thanks.

Thank you.

HE EXHALES, CHUCKLES

I was worried that you'd change your mind.

I nearly did.

But then I haven't been to a five-star hotel before,

and I'm about to become homeless, so...

HE SIGHS

How about we leave Liam and Alison at home today?

Yeah, that's fine by me.

Good. Because when we get to the front desk,

they'll call me by another name.

Just play along, yeah?

OK.

SHE CHUCKLES SOFTLY, ENGINE STARTS

ENGINE REVS

Sir?

We found out where the Joshi family are staying in London.

Good. Mayfair Regency Hotel.

It's just down the road from the auctioneers.

Great. We heard from Alison?

No, not yet. OK.

Guv, can I ask you a question? Uh-huh.

Why so obsessed with the rookie when it's Helen's op?

Because he's not a rookie.

I mean, skills like his, you hone them. Takes years.

So... who is he?

What's his link to the gang?

Why's he suddenly taken Danny Heath's position?

And why is it we don't know anything about this lad

from before five years ago?

GUESTS CHATTER

MAN: Welcome.

Thank you.

Bags in the back. Thank you. Sure. No problem.

A room under "Jack Standford", please.

Of course.

Welcome to the Hawthorne Estate Hotel, Mr and Mrs Standford.

THEY CHUCKLE SOFTLY

Not sure how I feel about taking your name.

Who says I didn't take yours?

Your lucky day, sir.

Looks like management's upgraded you to the Milton Suite.

Really? Mm-hm.

Amazing. Thank you. Can I show you to your room?

No, no. I think we'll manage. Yeah?

LIAM CHUCKLES SOFTLY

CLOCK CHIMES

It really was our lucky day.

No. That was the day that you got yourself a hacker for a husband.

Wait, you did this?

Yeah. I had to get in and bump us up.

The suite's only room with two beds...

Mm.

SHE CHUCKLES SOFTLY

OK. Yeah.

HE CHUCKLES

So, what's the plan?

Taking you to dinner.

Hotel's restaurant. Tiny portions, big bill.

You ever been to a place like that? No. Have you?

Yeah, care home took us every week (!)

Come here.

LIAM EXHALES

I probably got this all wrong. I... I tried to keep it simple.

No obligation to wear it.

It's perfect.

But that's, what, two months' rent?

Only the best for Mrs Standford.

Liam, I...

I-I can't accept that. Why not?

I'm getting a big pay-out soon.

Who better to spend it on?

So what you're doing, it's soon?

PHONE BUZZES

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Wow.

Thank you. HE CHUCKLES

Wait, do I have time to have a bath?

Course. I need a bit of time to get some work done, anyway. So...

Downstairs at seven, yeah?

Don't stand me up this time.

No.

Looking for the spa, madam?

Oh... CHUCKLES SOFTLY

MUSIC: 'Nocturnes, Op. 9' by Chopin

HE EXHALES

HE GASPS SOFTLY

SHE CHUCKLES SOFTLY

Do I look the part?

More than.

Can I just hold you there for a moment, please?

Oh. Mm-hm.

Good evening. Nice to see you again, sir.

Ah, it's good to be back.

We've taken the liberty of preparing some welcome drinks.

DINERS CHATTER

The maitre'd has arranged the private dining room for you.

Fine.

MUFFLED CONVERSATION

So, can you tell me... what she is saying to him right now?

It's probably not that interesting. Let's find out.

MUFFLED CHATTER

I think they might be talking about their grandson.

SHE CHUCKLES OK.

He just said, "I'm not changing the nappies for anyone."

LIAM LAUGHS

Charming (!) BOTH CHUCKLE

Yeah, she thinks so, too.

How do you do it?

If you don't mind me asking. How do I do it?

Well, you just watch very carefully.

Erm, you sort of imagine the sound coming out of their mouth.

But it's also all the other stuff, too.

So hard work, then?

Yeah. It's like... It's like a great big puzzle, you know?

You're piecing things together.

And you've got body language, too.

Like, I'd, like...

You lean forward to ask a question.

Or you lean back cos you're kind of a bit pissed off.

HE CHUCKLES

It's a proper talent, that.

HE CHUCKLES

Well, you've got one too, haven't you?

Mm... Yeah.

How did you get into hacking?

No laptop in the home. Obviously.

So I'd go and use this old PC in the library.

Ended up on these hacking forums. Made a bit of mischief.

So you didn't go stealing the pensioners' money, have you?

Cos that's a bit of a red flag.

Ah, dunno. Those two have it coming.

BOTH CHUCKLE

So, how did you get from that to...?

This?

I was doing some coding work in London last year. Legit.

Legit? Pay, not great.

But I had this boss, Danny.

He was in with Helen and that lot.

INHALES SHARPLY

But he couldn't do this job, so... he put me up for it.

What, he put you up for it?

Mm. He sort of... had to quit.

So...

Have you never been tempted to bend the rules a little bit?

Like your dad? My dad?

How do you...?

Helen made me do a little bit of background.

Well, then...

You probably know my dad's been breaking the rules all his life.

Yeah. Didn't get him very far.

And I knew that was not the path for me.

Sorry.

Did you have any foster families that you really like?

There was one couple. They really put up with all my shit.

We were happy families for a bit.

For a bit?

Mm. What happened?

Turned 18. Moved out.

He died.

His wife gave me this, actually.

Really?

It belonged to him.

I'm really sorry. Don't be.

Do you ever... see your foster mum?

Yeah. Well, I try to.

DOOR CLOSES Thank you.

Am I going mad, or is this tidier than when we left?

HE CHUCKLES Two cleans a day.

The rich are just that filthy.

Night.

Well, it'll be a shame to mess up two beds.

Wouldn't it?

SPEECH MUTED

I've been wearing them all my life.

I feel a bit naked not wearing them.

When you're with people who can sign,

it's quite freeing, not needing to wear it.

You must miss that.

Being with someone who knows what it's like.

Yeah. I... I guess so.

Give me time. I'm sure I can learn BSL.

So, after your job...

..do you get to go back to your old life?

No.

Guess that's the point.

BEN: OK, see you later.

OK, took some leaning on the Mayfair Regency

to bend their discretion policy,

but they told me that the Joshi family are out of town now.

SHE SIGHS What about the jewels?

The auction house are continuing with the sale. Nothing's changed.

OK. There's more.

The vault wouldn't divulge anything about the Joshis' deposit.

However, when I pushed them and sent them an image of Liam,

they did confirm he had visited the vault last week,

under the name... "Jack Standford".

Alison causing headaches again?

You're always so hard on her.

Don't think I don't know why.

She told you, then.

She didn't have to.

Look, me and Sara, it's not just some...

It's the real deal.

My ex left me for "the real deal".

They split a year later. Funny.

SHE CHUCKLES

I'm sorry. It's not any of my business.

No. It's not.

Alison... I'm right, aren't I?

Yeah. Totally off-grid. Radio silence.

Then we need to run a trace, for her own safety.

PHONE BUZZES

CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY How about brunch in the bar?

Mum's trying to video-call me.

I... I think she's really worried about the eviction.

I'll meet you down there. OK.

DOOR OPENS, CLOSES

GUEST: Thank you so much. You're very welcome.

A hotel?

Why didn't you tell us? Well, you wouldn't let me go.

Oh, Alison, you cannot just disappear.

You... You can't ignore my messages.

The more you text me, the more exposed I get.

Do you know, me meeting you is a massive risk right now.

I know. Yeah, I get that.

But if you don't reply to me, then obviously, I worry.

Liam has a really nice smile,

but it doesn't mean he's not a criminal.

Liam was watching some people in the hotel.

I saw them. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's the Joshis.

This is Amir Joshi. Did you see him?

Yeah, I saw him. Last night.

OK.

So, Joshi's trying to buy a place for his daughter in Knightsbridge.

He's... INHALES DEEPLY

He's trying to teach her a lesson in prudence,

so he's selling her favourite necklace to pay for it.

So Liam must be here to spy on him. Yeah.

He hacked into the hotel's CCTV.

Well, let's hope he's not watching you.

I don't think... Alison...

PHONE BUZZES

Is that him?

Alison, I don't... No, no, I don't feel right about this.

I'm gonna have to call James. Just let...

No. No. I'm gonna have to go. I just...

I really hope you're not doing anything

that would make this difficult.

I'm doing exactly as you asked.

PHONE CAMERA CLICKING

Papa? Come here. Light's better.

Hi.

Where have you been?

Well, Mum was really upset about her eviction.

What?

You have your alone time, so do I.

Thank you.

It's a bit early for that.

Shall we play our game again?

OK.

Who shall we spy on, then?

How about Princess over there?

INDISTINCT CHATTER

She really loves the spa.

But... she really wanted the suite, and she's asking him for an upgrade.

Beat her to it, didn't I?

Mm.

MUFFLED CHATTER

Body language says she's not happy. PHONE RINGING

That one's easy.

OK. What's he saying now?

Bidding.

Something about bidding.

He said it has to reach 5 million,

or he'll pull the item.

Hm.

She's not happy that he's selling it.

She really is not happy. LIAM CHUCKLES

A pistachio mac...

A pistachio...

Macaron? Yeah, that's it, she said.

He asked for two boxes to be sent up to her ASAP.

Wonder she's not spoilt (!)

Are you watching them?

Is there a reason?

Look at them.

Think they'd even notice if they lost something?

Mm.

HE EXHALES

That was... special.

Yeah. It was.

But...?

I just... I wish you weren't doing whatever you're doing.

I wish I could live in that hotel forever...

and just forget the rest, like, all of it.

Me too.

Yeah.

Liam must have known the Joshis were at the hotel, yeah?

He's tracking them.

So you saw Liam watching Amir and his daughter, Reshmi?

Yeah. Liam asked me to lip-read them.

'I saw them talking about bidding.

'I think they were talking about the necklace.'

'He probably wanted to check they're going ahead with the auction.'

'Do you think Liam was harvesting passcodes from the Joshis?'

Like clone their devices, maybe?

Well, I did see Liam do something on his laptop

when they was in the bar.

'He could've connected to their phones.'

It would explain how they hope to get past the vault's safeguards.

Exactly. Did Liam mention anything about his past?

Well, he did mention a guy called Danny.

And Danny was his old boss at this coding company in London.

And Danny used to work for Helen.

But then he had to quit, so he put Liam up for a job.

That's brilliant. Brilliant. OK. Get onto the Met.

Get them to give you any intel that they can on Danny's old case.

You get anything else? Anything else? No.

No, not much, no.

OK. That's great. Come on, I'll give you a lift.

See you later.

SEAT BELT CLICKS Alison.

I never asked you to stay in a hotel room with Liam.

No.

You didn't. But you did ask me to get information.

You didn't really think of where that might lead to.

I think I... I think I've become so hung up

on putting these bastards away, you know, that, er...

That's on me.

But whatever you've started with Liam, I need it to stop.

Please.

Yeah, OK.

So, all that damage to my credit card's borne fruit?

Confirmed everything Chandra told us.

Got everything we need for our new approach.

Course you're happy. It's all about you now, innit?

So what? Your cut's the same.

When are you collecting the piece?

Tonight.

Speak then.

Marky-Mark, the girl in?

Alison? Er...

No. No, she's not working today, Bray.

You ever wonder what she's up to when she's not here?

What you getting at?

I don't trust her.

I ran background on her. She's clean.

Right.

I'm really starting to regret letting you in on this job.

First...

you shit your pants so badly about my little toy

that we had to relocate you.

Now your throb-on for that girl is starving your brain of oxygen.

Well, this job... it's my ticket out.

Nothing is gonna fuck that up for me.

Especially not some girl that I'm passing the time with.

Understand?

PHONE BUZZES

'Liam?'

I think... we need to talk.

Me first. Please?

What's this?

This is what we're taking.

Wait, is this from the family

that you were sitting next to at the hotel bar?

That's right. I had to do some recon on them.

I need you to keep it secret until we're done.

We're gonna take it from an ultra-secure vault in London.

Replace it with a replica.

No-one will even notice until it's too late.

And I... I swear to you...

..no-one will be hurt.

How am I supposed to believe that?

You have to trust me on that.

Is that enough?

HE EXHALES

SHE CHUCKLES

I'm sorry, erm...

You nearly finished it.

But if you don't like Brazil...

..we can go anywhere you like.

And not just for one night.

Forever.

I'm trusting you because I want you to go away with me.

You're asking me to...? Alison.

In 48 hours, I am gonna have...

..a lot of money.

But I'm gonna have to leave the country.

And I want you and your mum...

..to come with me.

What? You want us to go...?

Look at them at the top.

They've got houses on every continent,

and you don't get to keep your home?

You deserve a real life.

I don't know...

..what to say.

Say yes.

You cannot see Liam again. He's dangerous.

If you walk into that vault, you're gonna get caught.

I know that. How do you know that?

'It's just way too risky.'

Unlocking now. Go on through.

She needs to stay out of this.

Go, go!

You'll appreciate it's important

for us to understand the events that led up to today.

Now.
