Sandra.

I'm in a rush.
I'm sorry, Tom.

TOM: I left a couple of messages
on your phone.

Four, actually.

Yeah.

- TOM: You're avoiding me.
- I've just been very busy.

You've been busy.

We're family, Sandra.

You're the only blood relative
I have left.

I'm sorry, Tom.

He's in the room with us now.

He's standing just behind you,
Victoria.

Vicky.

Oh, he's frowning.

I don't think he liked you
shortening your name, did he'?

He hated it.

CARTER:
He seems agitated again.

It's as if he can't relax...

can't settle.

Because of this
unfinished business?

I think so, yeah.

He says he needs your help.

He needs you to help him
put it right.

Now he's holding up his hand.

There's a key in it.

This is what he did last time.

What does this key look like?

Look, I must ask you
to remain silent.

The connection to the spirit
world is always tenuous.

VICKY:
What does the key mean'?

I'm not sure.

He seems to think
that you might know.

Look, I don't think
he's at all happy

that there is a stranger
in the room.

We need to know what happened
the night he died.

No, no, I'm sorry.

He's moving into the darkness.

Perhaps next time.

If this "unfinished business"
refers to the burglary,

it means it wasn't random.

My father was targeted,

which makes his death murder,
doesn't it'?

I'd like a word with Mr. Carter
in private, please, Vicky.

Okay.

Thank you again.

Pleasure.

You're a policewoman.

Detective superintendent.

You were less than honest
about that.

Coming from you, Mr. Carter...

You're skeptical.

That's an occupational hazard.

Much of what I do
seems outlandish.

I understand that.

Actually, taking money
from gullible people

is quite commonplace.

Don't worry.

What you're doing isn't illegal,
although it probably should be.

I'm only here to evaluate
Whether there's any new evidence

concerning the death
of Miss Anderson's father.

I don't think what you have
to say qualifies as evidence.

CARTER: You lost someone
who means a great deal to you.

I'm not a gullible person,
Mr. Carter.

He's been gone awhile now,
your father.

This kind of
cheap parlor trick --

CARTER:
He's disappointed.

There's someone
you should be closer to.

[inhales sharply]

It's a sibling.

It's someone you've neglected.

# It's all right, it's okay #

SubRIP by docent{mults.org

PULLMAN:
Douglas Anderson.

A wealthy financier who made
his money in investment banking

in Hong Kong.

He retired and moved back to
England with his family

in 1997 when Hong Kong was
handed back to the Chinese.

About 18 months ago,

Mr. Anderson returned
to his house in Knightsbridge

after a late dinner,

Where it appears
he surprised an intruder.

A struggle ensued

and Anderson sustained several
blows to the face and body.

According to the coroner, he
suffered a fatal heart attack,

but he did have
a pare-existing heart condition.

So, the death
wasn't necessarily deliberate?

There's no way to know.

Apparently, there was
a Wealth of physical evidence,

fingerprints at the scene,

but the original investigation
failed to identify the intruder.

He had no known enemies.

Maybe he was just at the wrong
place at the wrong time.

PULLMAN:
A couple of days ago,

Victoria Anderson,
the victim's daughter,

claimed to have uncovered
new evidence

suggesting that this burglary
may not have been random.

And if that's the case,

then perhaps his death
wasn't accidental either.

Vicky had been in contact
with this man...

Sebastian Carter.

Carter is a clairvoyant,
a psychic.

He says that he'd been in touch
with Anderson's spirit

and that Anderson had
unfinished business

which he wished
Vicky to conclude for him

before he could find peace.

-[ Laughing]
- Yes, I know.

And this is the bloke
you went to see yesterday.

PULLMAN'. Y Bah.
- And'?

And I don't know.

You don't know if he's really
talking to the dead or not'?

STANDING:
Well, he could be.

Excuse me'?

No, no, no, I was on a case
in the '80s --

'84, I think --

and we knew this bloke
had offed his wife, right,

but we couldn't prove it
'cause there was no body.

Well, one of the team
brought in a mate of his

who was into
this clairvoyancy stuff

and he only pinpointed
exactly Where she was buried.

How?

Well, she told him, apparently,
you know, from the other side.

You're not buying
any of this stuff, Jack'?

Well, of course I'm not.
Are you'?

Carter was...

Some of the things he said...

HALFORD:
Like what?

He was quite impressive.

He's a con man.

I'm not saying
he's not a good one.

But what these people do
is just cold reading.

Cold reading?

Educated guesses based on
your body language,

your appearance, and Whatever.

I mean, for example,
one glance at Brian,

and I can tell you
that he had porridge

for his breakfast this morning.

How did you know that'?

It's all down your front.

All right, these so-called
clairvoyants are impressive,

but, come on,
don't let's kid ourselves.

What, you think there might be
something in this'?

No, of course not.
Don't be silly.

It's just there was something
that Carter said

during the consultation.

He said that he could see

Anderson standing
in the room with us

and that Anderson --
Wait.

Anderson was holding a key
in his hand

and somehow this key
was significant.

- What kind of key'?
- PULLMAN: I don't know.

But the point is
that Anderson's body

was found on the floor
of his study

and it was surrounded by keys.

It appears that the intruder
found Anderson's key ring

in his pocket

and was trying to use the keys
to open desk drawers

and various cabinets
in the room.

And none of this was made public
at the time?

- PULLMAN: No.
- Lucky guess.

Why would you guess a key'?

Because it's general.

It might not be a physical key.

It might be a key to a code
or a keyword.

It's open to interpretation.

That's how these people work.

LANE:
Maybe he did know something.

Oh, don't you start.

No, no, no, look,
what I am saying

is maybe this
Carter character knew something

about the burglary,

but he's just pretending
that he's being told by a ghost.

That's interesting.

Yeah, yeah, it is.

Shouldn't be too difficult
to prove either, should it'?

I met him at a dinner,
a charity thing.

I can't even remember
what it was for now.

There was a drinks reception
before we sat down to eat,

and I fell into conversation
with Mr. Carter about my work.

LANE:
You're a photographer?

Yeah.
Wildlife mostly.

It was a hobby
that became a job.

Those are mine.

Ah.

VICKY: Heron Island
on the Great Barrier Reef.

It's an amazing place.

My dad bought a holiday home
there when I was a kid.

I went back there last year
after he died

to get my head together.

Those were all taken then.

Ha!

A noddy tern!

It's a kind of bird.

Whoa!

HALFORD:
Sebastian Carter'?

VICKY:
Yes, sorry.

I was talking to him
at this drinks thing

when he suddenly told me
he could see my father

standing right behind me.

And you believed him'?

Yes, I did.

He said that your father
seemed agitated?

He said that
he was unable to find rest,

that he had some kind
of unfinished business

that needed to be
taken care of first.

LANE:
What unfinished business?

I don't know.

I've had several consultations
with Mr. Carter since then,

but we can't seem to get
to the bottom of it.

And how much do
these consultations cost'?

Oh, he's not charging me
for them.

Mr. Carter feels an obligation

to help restless spirits
find peace.

I think this unfinished business

has something to do
with Hong Kong.

Why do you say that?

Because we left Hong Kong
under a bit of a cloud.

I was young
and I wasn't told very much,

but I remember my mother saying

that there were all sorts
of accusations flying around

about my dad's business
being dodgy somehow.

Dodgy'? How'?

Dad always shrugged it off,
said there was nothing to it,

but when we moved back here,

my mother was diagnosed
with cancer

and my dad retired
so he could look after her.

Whatever is disturbing him

has to be to do with
his business in Hong Kong.

But "unfinished business"
could also refer

to a personal matter, though,
couldn't it'?

Yes, I suppose it could,

but I have no idea
what that could be.

My dad didn't have
much of a personal life

after my mother died.

HALFORD:
And this was the family home?

And your father's body was found
in the study?

Yes, I found him.

Thank you.

Has anything changed in here
since it happened?

No.

I occasionally have to go
through files for something,

home insurance papers
or Whatever, but otherwise...

It was Dad's space.

He didn't like us
to come in here.

And your father's body
was found Where?

Um...

Over there,
in front of the desk.

You were still living here
at the time, weren't you'?

Yeah.
Dad liked company.

Although, that night,
I'd been out.

I had a boyfriend at the time
in North London,

and I'd stayed there.

When I came home in the morning,
I found him.

So, there couldn't have been
anybody else in the house

that night?

No. Penny had moved into her own
place a few months earlier.

Penny?

Miss Anderson's sister.

Adopted sister, yeah.

You and Penny are close'?

Very close.

About these keys'?

The crime-scene report said

there were a lot of keys
on the floor.

Dad liked to keep his keys

in one of those
old-fashioned leather pouches.

Aside from the house
and the car,

there were keys
for the desk over there

and some of these antique boxes.

None of them were ever used,

but Dad liked to keep them
all in one place.

So, the thief must have
tried out all the keys,

but nothing was actually stolen,
was it'?

Not as far as I could tell.

The boxes were already empty,

and the paperwork in the desk
seemed complete.

Well, the things in here

must be worth a few bob
in their own right.

Nothing was missing?

VICKY: The police assumed
that Dad must have disturbed him

before he had the chance.

And you really believe that this
Sebastian Carter character

is in touch
with your father's spirit?

Yes, Mr. Halford.

That is what I believe.

LANE: According to
the original investigation,

Vicky's alibi for the night
of the burglary was Watertight.

And there was no motive.

Except money.

She did get a nice big house
out of it.

Yeah, but look at the place.
It's like a shrine to her dad.

Okay.

Hold on, hold on.

Penny Anderson's real father
was a man called John Plummer

who had a construction company
in Hong Kong.

Ha!

What?

Well, he had
a construction company

and his name was Plummer.

Forget about it.

Yeah, yeah.

Anyway, he was imprisoned in '97

for conspiring to defraud
the Chinese government

to the tune
of several million quid.

The money was never recovered,

and he died in Victoria Prison
in '99.

Oh, well, we can scratch his
name from the list of suspects.

What suspects?
We haven't even got a crime.

It was the break-in, Jack,
and a possible murder rap.

The break-in was probably
completely random.

Douglas Anderson disturbs
a burglar, a fight ensues,

his heart gives out.

It's happened before.

- I want to see Carter again.
- What about?

Because I think there's
something going on there.

- The man's a fraud.
- Not necessarily.

Spare me!

You two go and speak
to Penny Anderson.

And ask her what?

I want to know more about
this fraud in Hong Kong,

'cause if several million quid
disappeared,

then maybe Douglas Anderson
was involved somehow.

And maybe that's what
the intruder was looking for.

You're clutching at straws.

You got something better to do,
Jack?

LANE:
Your real name is Guy Thomas,

and you have prior convictions
for possession of Class A drugs.

CARTER:
That was before the call.

What call'?

The reawakening.
The emergence.

There are many different names
for it.

The realization
of my psychic gifts.

And this reawakening
presumably took place in 2004

While you were attending

a three-day residential course
in Watford

entitled "Novice Clairvoyancy."

That was a happy coincidence,
wasn't it'?

Fortunately, Mr. Lane,

not everyone is as cynical
about my gift.

How did you know about the keys'?

CARTER:
Keys?

You said Douglas Anderson
was holding a key.

Indeed, he was.
Does that mean something to you'?

What do you know
about Hong Kong?

What is this --
a general-knowledge quiz now'?

PULLMAN: Douglas Anderson worked
in Hong Kong,

and apparently, he left there
under something of a cloud.

I make it a firm policy to know
as little as possible

about my clients
or their families.

The less I know,
the less I am prone

to interpret the messages
they receive.

So, everything you told
Victoria Anderson

you got from the ghost
of her father?

"Ghost" is not a term we enjoy,
but, yes.

PULLMAN:
I don't think so.

I think you know something
about that burglary,

and I think that whatever
the burglar was looking for,

he didn't find,

and now you're trying to con
Vicky Anderson

into telling you Where it is.

Oh, I think that's
a very elaborate theory.

And I'm going to prove it.

CARTER: Do you know what I
think, Detective Superintendent?

I think you need me to be
a fraud.

Because if I am,

then you Won't
have to believe me

when I tell you that your father
is very disappointed

with the way that you've been
treating your brother.

But Whether you believe me
or not,

we both know it's true.

PENNY:
When I was three years old,

my mother took a trip back to
Gansu province on the mainland

to see relatives.

She never came back.

Apparently, she had run
into an old boyfriend

and started up with him again,

and I've never heard from her
since.

My father was friendly
with Douglas Anderson,

so I ended up being sent away
to school in England with Vicky.

We became very close,

and when my father was arrested
and imprisoned,

the Andersons took me in.

My father died
a couple of years later,

and Douglas made the adoption
official for legal reasons.

Do you know what your father
was arrested for'?

Some kind of fraud.

I was away at school
when it happened.

And I'd appreciate it if you
didn't mention it around here.

This company takes
family history very seriously.

Did you ever visit your father
in prison?

No.

By the time A-levels were over,

the Andersons had moved back
to the U.K.,

just ahead of the handover
in July.

So, the last time you saw him...

PENNY:
Kai Tak Airport.

He gave me a hug
and put me on the plane

for the start
of the summer term.

Did you have any contact
with him after his arrest'?

Letters?

PENNY:
No.

Look, I appreciate you taking
my sister seriously

with all this psychic business,
but...

- You don't think we should.
- Well, do you'?

Hmm.

Listen, thank you for your time.

Look, I'd never say this
to Vicky, but...

She's been seeing people
like this since her mother died.

You and I know
they're all frauds,

but she gets some comfort
from it

and that's fine with me.

I feel partly responsible
for this one.

Vicky met this Sebastian Carter

at a dinner
I was supposed to go to.

I had too much work on,

so Vicky took my place
at the last minute.

So, if there's a way
you can make this go away

Without hurting Vicky,

I'd be very grateful.

And you're not interested

in what happened
to your adopted father?

I know what happened.

He surprised a burglar
and suffered a heart attack.

I'd rather not drag up the past
on the say-so of some psychic.

Oh, the unopened box.

Do you have any ideas
about that?

I'm sorry'?

The burglar used
Mr. Anderson's keys

to open various boxes
and what have you

that were in the study,

but there was one box,
black and gold with figurines,

for which there was no key.

Well, I didn't know that.

I have no idea, I'm afraid.

Oh, don't worry.
Thank you.

What was all that
about an unopened box'?

It came to me in a vision,
Gerry.

[Buzzer]

PULLMAN:
What exactly are you playing at'?

Playing at'?

- Yeah, you and Sebastian Carter.
- Who?

I don't believe
he's a real psychic, Tom,

so how the hell did he know
about you'?

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Stay away from me.

I see you took the dog
for a walk in the park today.

ESTHER: I take the dog for
a walk in the park every day.

Ha ha!
Wrong!

I do.

I mean that's not how I knew.
Cold reading.

You see, I'm deducing details
about you

from tiny, subtle clues.

A little bit of dried mud
on the heel of your shoe.

The dog hairs on the bottom
of your trousers.

That and the fact
that I told you I'd taken him

not 20 minutes ago.

LANE:
Now, you're a confident person

but sometimes you worry
about the way others see you.

ESTHER: Well, everybody does,
don't they?

Your favorite color's green.

Blue.

You spend a lot of time
inside your own head.

You'd like to get more
out of life,

but there's a sense that
something is holding you back.

Somebody.

The skin on your hands
is dry and cracking.

You don't own a dishwasher,
do you'?

You've always refused
to buy one.

You're not a vain woman.

Careful!

Outward appearances
aren't important.

The makeup inexpertly applied.

You don't spend a lot of money
at the hairdresser's, do you'?

And you're left-handed,

which accounts for the nails on
that hand being slightly uneven.

No, they're not.

Oh, I suppose they are a bit.

How did I do'?

Can I have a go'?

I deduce that you had
a very big lunch today.

Ha ha!

Wrong. Sandwiches.

Well, that's a shame,

because you're not getting
any supper.

Thanks, Nigel.
That's great.

Oh, yeah, I will.
[Chuckles]

Yeah. Ta-ta.

Well, apparently, John Plummer's
construction company

had a contract to build a new
admin building in Hong Kong

for the incoming
Chinese government.

But Plummer cooked the books
and got caught,

and the money
was never recovered.

The Chinese accused
one of their own,

a man called Lau Cheung,

of conspiring with Plummer
from the inside.

Now, Lau Cheung was arrested
at the same time as Plummer,

but he was sent to
Su Chou Prison on the mainland,

which apparently is horrible.

I mean,
there's no way of knowing

Whether this Lau Cheung
is still alive even.

And Douglas Anderson?

Well, officially, there was
nothing to connect Anderson

with the fraud,

and they're pretty hot
on that stuff over there.

But they couldn't find anything.

And unofficially?

Well, unofficially,

they were sure
that a third man was involved

who made the money disappear,

and although they couldn't prove
that it was Douglas Anderson,

my mate says they never bothered
to look at anybody else.

So, if Anderson did take
the money,

then that was probably what
the burglar was looking for.

So, we've got a fraud
in Hong Kong

which Douglas Anderson
was probably involved with,

along with John Plummer,
who is now dead,

and Lau...

Cheung.

Cheung.
Who knows Where he is'?

Well, immigration are checking,
but if he's here illegally...

Even if Anderson did have
something to do with the fraud

and even if that was somehow
linked to the burglary,

what's the connection with
this Sebastian Carter character?

He's been talking to
Vicky Anderson

about an aspect of the crime

that no one outside
the investigation knew about.

He's involved somehow.

STANDING: Well, there is
another possible lead.

While Plummer was in nick,

he had a cellmate called
Simon Beswick.

Now, he got out a few years ago
and came back here.

I've got an address for him,
off Gerrard Street.

[Telephone rings]

Yeah?

- Gerrard Street, Chinatown.
-Interesting.

Detective Superintendent
Pullman's phone.

Maybe Plummer talked to Beswick
about what happened.

And if Anderson
is involved in the fraud,

maybe Beswick has
some of the details.

Yeah, thanks very much.

You're never going to
believe this.

Vicky Anderson's house
has just been burgled again.

What?

She got up this morning, and
the place had been turned over.

Well, that can't be
a coincidence.

This isn't an ordinary burglary,

so I want a full
crime-scene workup,

and no one else is to come
in or out of the house

till SOC get here.

Yes, ma'am.

Apparently, the burglar forced
open the kitchen Window.

You didn't hear anything?

I haven't been sleeping

since Mr. Carter spoke
to my father.

The last few days,
I've been taking sleeping pills.

On prescription?

- No, um...
- I gave them to her.

They were leftover
from a prescription I had

a year or so ago.

Have you any idea
what's missing?

It's such a mess.

They -- They've broken
so many things.

It'll take weeks to work out
what's been taken.

If anything.

What do you mean'?

Well, the rest of the house
was left alone, wasn't it'?

VICKY:
As far as I can tell.

Well, jewelry, TV's,
DVD players.

VICKY:
It's all there.

PULLMAN:
Then whoever did this

was obviously looking
for something in particular.

Probably the same thing that
the previous intruder was after.

Which is what?

STANDING: Well, we were hoping
you might help us with that.

I haven't got the faintest idea.

I think we need to sit down

and have a little chat
about Hong Kong.

[Conversations in Chinese]

Coming out at both ends it was.

I spent three days
in the toilet.

I got quite good at Sudoku,
but I never ate octopus again.

I'm a bit worried about Sandra.

What about her'?

This Sebastian Carter fellow,

he's really got under her skin,
you know.

Don't be ridiculous, Brian.

Sandra's not going to fall
for all that nonsense.

I Wouldn't be so sure, Jack.

Yesterday,
when we were in his office,

he alluded to something
he'd said to her

when she went to see him
with Vicky Anderson.

What?

Something about her father
and her brother,

about her father
being disappointed in her.

I asked her about it after,
but she wouldn't say a word.

This brother business has really
knocked her for six, you know.

The CPS aren't prosecuting him.

There's nothing more
that Sandra could do.

They should both
just get on with their lives

as if they'd never met.

How could Carter know
about any of this'?

He didn't know, Brian.

That's what these people do.

They identify a weakness,
then take advantage.

No Wonder she was so keen
on this case.

So, she's got to prove
he's a fraud'?

Well, what if she can't'?

If the four of us can't prove

that this clown isn't getting
his information from ghosts,

we should all...

Retire?

You know what I mean.

Excuse me.

We're looking for Simon Beswick.

Gweilo.

LANE:
Mr. Beswick'?

I'm Brian Lane,
and this is Jack Halford.

We're working with
the Metropolitan Police's

Unsolved Crime
and Open Case Squad.

Working with, not for.

We're consultants, if you like.

And if I don't like'?

We have some questions
about John Plummer.

You shared a cell with him
in Hong Kong.

LANE: Bit of a rough old place,
was it'?

BESWICK:
Victoria Prison?

Yeah.

This didn't happen there,
though.

Liverpool.
1986.

Don't drink a bottle of Scotch

and then get behind the wheel
of a car.

I lost two fingers,
a brand-new Mercedes,

and all I had to show for it
was a criminal record.

Next question.

John Plummer
was imprisoned for fraud.

Weren't we all'?

Did he talk to you
about what he'd done'?

I'm sure you know enough
about prisons.

No one in there
had done anything Wrong.

LANE:
Mr. Beswick.

No, he didn't talk about it.

Did he mention
a man called Lau Cheung'?

No.

- Or Douglas Anderson?
- No.

- Did he talk about his daughter'?
- No.

HALFORD:
Yes, he did.

A man in a foreign prison.

You were his cellmate.

Even if he didn't say
what he'd done,

he talked about
his only daughter.

She never came to see him,
never even Wrote him a letter.

You dwell too long on the whys
and wherefores of that situation

in a place like that,
you go mad.

He missed her.

Did he know Where she was'?

She was staying with friends.

He was looking forward
to seeing her when he got out.

But that never happened, did it'?

Where were you on the night
of March 17, 2009'?

I have absolutely no idea.

What about last night?

Why?
What happened last night?

Where were you, Mr. Beswick'?

I was here.
Upstairs.

There's a bed-sit up there,
comes with the job.

Doing accounts for a grocery
shop's a bit of a comedown

from investment banking,
isn't it?

When you've been to prison
for fraud,

there's not many banks
that'll take you on.

I was in prison with the cousin
of the guy who owns this place.

He put a word in for me.

So, you were here last night?

I'm here every night.

HALFORD:
What were you doing'?

Drinking.

Do you do that every night
as Well?

Yes, I do.

I'd have thought you'd have
given that up after...

I gave up driving instead.

Better for the planet.

I'm sorry I don't know more
about my father's business

in Hong Kong.

He was a private man,
and I was young.

Too young
to have been interested

even if he had told me.

Yeah, and he wasn't a criminal.

I don't know what anyone else
has told you,

but my father was a good man.

Yeah, but as you say,

neither of you know enough about
his past to be certain of that.

All we have left of him
are memories.

A broken window frame
can be fixed,

and I can live with the damage
to some of his possessions.

But if this investigation
is going to tarnish his memory,

then I...

Okay, look, if the guy
who killed your father

was specifically
targeting him --

STANDING: We're just looking
for the truth.

And if memory and the truth turn
out to be two different things?

I'd rather have the memory.

[Door closes]

I hope Brian and Jack
had more luck than us.

Sebastian Carter's
involved in this somehow.

But it doesn't make sense.

I mean, if he's trying to con
her with all this psychic stuff,

why risk it all by breaking in
to the house again?

I know. I know.
It doesn't make sense.

Ah, Jack'?
Yeah, it's me.

Nah, not very good, actually.

Excuse me!

Oi!

Grab the car!

STANDING:
I'll call you back, mate.

All right.

Let's just calm down, okay'?

We need to talk to you.

[Shouting]

Oi!

Shit!

It's okay.

I don't think anything's broken.

Not you, Gerry.
The bloody car!

Ugh.

PULLMAN: No, the nose was
a bit wider than that.

Yeah, and make the lips
a little thinner.

Yeah.
What do you think, Gerry'?

Uh, I don't know.

All I saw was the bottom
of his shoe.

LANE:
Thanks very much.

Well, that's Simon Beswick
in the clear.

He's already got
a criminal record

from the incident
of the drink driving,

Where he lost his fingers,

so we've already got
his prints on file,

but they don't match
the original burglar's.

Have SOC come back with anything
from the latest burglary yet'?

Yeah, we've got
a couple of partial ones

from the windowsill
in the kitchen,

but they don't match anything
on the database

and neither do they match
the first burglary.

So, we've got two burglars.

And neither of them is Beswick.

And neither of them registering
as having a criminal record.

So, either this morning's
was a first-timer...

Or he's never been caught.

Or he's never been caught
in this country.

All right, let's get this
picture and the new prints

over to your mate.

See if he can get someone
in Hong Kong

to run them through the system

Without taking six months
over it.

My Aunt Edith used to have
her palm read once a month.

She swore by it.

Ah, it's all a scam.

What's the harm?

People get a bit of comfort
out of it.

You try telling Sandra that.

This Sebastian Carter character.

He's got her all worked up

about how she's dealing
with her brother.

If she wasn't already
feeling guilty,

it Wouldn't have had any effect
on her, would it'?

- Well, that's as maybe.
- How did he know anyway?

- Know what'?
- About Sandra's brother.

I don't think he did.
Lucky guess.

Hmm. Very lucky guess.

No.

This is one of the techniques
they use, Esther.

They know that everyone's got
someone in the family

who's died,

so they start with that

and they build on it

till they've hit something
that gets a reaction.

So, it's quite clever, really.

Oh, it's a scam.

I mean, even if they're not
what they claim,

it's quite a skill, isn't it,
reading people like that.

Well, yeah, as Jack says,

it's not a million miles away
from what we do, is it'?

You know,
sizing up suspects and so on.

I mean, we call it instinct,

but, really, it's years
of observation and experience.

So, why don't you use it on him'?

On Jack'?

No. On this Sebastian
what's his name.

Carter.

Yeah, that's it.

Use what?

These techniques.

Turn the tables on him.

If you can't find anything that
connects him with any of this...

What'? Beat him at his own game,
you mean'?

If he's guilty,
there are bound to be signs

if you look hard enough.

A man with your
deductive abilities.

Hmm.

Hmm.

No, Brian.

Why not?

Everything else in this case
so far's a dead end.

We all think Carter's involved.

We just can't find a way
to prove it.

And he's just going to admit it
if we confront him, is he'?

Not exactly, but if we can
play him at his own game,

we might turn the tables on him.

We can't just go in there
and use his own tricks

to prompt a confession
out of him.

He does this for a living.

HALFORD:
So do we!

Don't tell me you think
this is a good idea, Jack.

I think it's a daft idea.

And I think it might work.

What Brian's proposing
is not very different

from standard
interview technique.

Exactly. We let him think
we know more than we do.

Yeah, I get it, Brian.
I just think it's a bad idea.

Are you worried
we might discover

that Carter's the real thing?

What?

Oh, I see.

Cheers, Brian.

We're worried about you, Sandra.

Well, don't be.

HALFORD: Whatever he said to you
about your dad and --

I don't want to talk about it,
Jack.

- He's a fake.
- Sorry. What did I just say'?

Hey, hey!

The Hong Kong police have got
our burglar's prints on file.

One Daniel Cheung.

LANE:
As in...

As in the son of Lau Cheung,

who was done for fraud
with Plummer.

Daniel entered the country
two Weeks ago,

supposedly on holiday.

That puts him out of the frame
for the first burglary then.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Different fingerprints,
and anyway it's confirmed.

He was in Hong Kong at the time.

Where is he now'?

Well, he gave immigration
an address in Chinatown.

Now, the local boys said they
can lay on a team to nab him,

but they want you there
to make the l.D.

MAN: We've managed to borrow
these glasses

from counterterrorism.

There's a hidden camera built
into the frame.

Right, make sure you get a good
look at everyone in there.

Yeah, hold them
for as long as you can.

When you see your man,
shout out.

Yuen will stay with him

so we can nab him
when he comes outside.

Aren't you going to send any men
in'?

No, we've got a few undercover
operations going on

at the moment,

and we don't want to spook
anyone.

Besides, there might be one
or two dog lovers in there

who Wouldn't be too pleased
to see you.

Sorry.

So, off you go.

Anything yet?

I'd have said, Wouldn't I'?

MAN:
Keep going.

There's a table at the back.
Go back.

- Which way'?
- Left. Left!

MAN:
Back to your left.

PULLMAN:
Come on.

Get past him.

That was him.
I'm sure that was him.

- That's him! That's him!
- That's our man. Stay with him.

Target is about to exit
the building.

He was with someone.
There's an exit at the back.

Have you got someone
at the back?

Go, go, go!

[Shouting]

Daniel Cheung, I'm arresting you
on suspicion of burglary.

You don't have to say anything
unless you want to.

You were with someone in there,
weren't you'?

Who was it'?
Where did they go'?

Tell me, tell me!

Get him in the van.

PULLMAN: Who were you meeting,
Mr. Cheung'?

[Speaking Cantonese]

I was alone.

PULLMAN:
Two cups. Do you see'?

[Speaking Cantonese]

One of them was already there
when I arrived.

There's an awful lot of change
on that bill.

What sort of tea
were you drinking'?

[Speaking Cantonese]

I'm a big tipper.

You've already been charged
with breaking and entering

Vicky Anderson's house.

Plus, you assaulted
my colleague here.

[Speaking Cantonese]

My point is, you're in
a lot of trouble, Mr. Cheung,

so telling us the truth now
can only help you.

I wasn't meeting anyone.

Who are you afraid of'?

[Chuckles]

Not you.

What were you looking for
in Vicky Anderson's house?

Jewelry, money.

Nothing to do with your father,
Lau Cheung,

who's in prison because of
a fraud he perpetrated

with John Plummer in Hong Kong,

and John Plummer is an associate
of Douglas Anderson.

The man whose house
you broke in to.

Do you really expect us
to believe

that's some sort of coincidence?

[Knock on door]

For the benefit of the tape,

Mr. Halford and Mr. Lane
are now entering the room

and have handed me
a slip of paper,

which we will label
Exhibit JH-1.

I'm showing Mr. Cheung
exhibit JH1.

No need.

That's a list of phone numbers

that you've called
from your mobile

over the last few days.

And that number there
belongs to Sebastian Carter,

and I don't think
he speaks Chinese, does he'?

[Speaking Cantonese]

Sorry to waste your time.

At Mr. Cheung's request,

the interpreter has left
the room.

My father isn't in prison.

He's dead.

Douglas Anderson killed him,

just as he killed John Plummer.

He said he'd call in
some favors,

pull some strings
to get them off,

that they Wouldn't go to prison.

And split the money three Ways'?

He didn't do anything for them.

He didn't even show up in court.

My family lost everything.

My father
went to Su Chou Prison.

Have you any idea
what that prison is like?

The Chinese government seized
everything my father had

and threw my mother and I
onto the street.

And Douglas Anderson kept
all the money?

PULLMAN:
Who told you all this'?

My mother.

Is she still in Hong Kong?

I grew up on The Peak,

one of the best addresses
in Hong Kong.

We were a wealthy family,
part of society.

Now my mother lives
in a tin shack

in the slum down by the harbor

with the rats and cockroaches.

This is what Douglas Anderson
did to us.

So you came over
to find the money.

No such luck, eh'?

What were you doing
hanging around the next day'?

Were you going to give it
another go'?

HALFORD:
You called Sebastian Carter.

Where does he come
into all this'?

PULLMAN: How do you know
Sebastian Carter, Mr. Cheung'?

Your father died in prison

as a result
of what Douglas Anderson did.

You and your mother were thrown
out onto the streets.

Well, a jury
is going to understand

the hardship
you've been through.

Now, if you've been manipulated,

if you Weren't acting alone,

then that just makes you
more sympathetic.

HALFORD: Did Sebastian Carter
put you up to this'?

Is that who you're afraid of'?

I'm not saying any more.

Well, I reported my phone stolen
a Week ago.

Whoever took it
must have made these calls

to your Mr. Chen.

Cheung.

Cheung. I'm sorry.

I'm hearing the name
for the first time.

[Cellphone ringing]

[Beep]

Any chance we could stop
messing about now'?

You met with Daniel Cheung
at a tea house in Chinatown

earlier today.

CARTER:
No.

We've got video.

Not of me you haven't.

I was here with a client.

You can go and ask
my receptionist.

Then who was he meeting'?

How would I know'?
I don't know the man.

Daniel Cheung broke in
to Vicky Anderson's house

at your request.

He called you afterwards.

No.

Now, I think you should all
just leave.

Nothing more to say
on this subject.

LANE:
Oh, yes, you do, Mr. Carter.

Not in so many words maybe,

but we both know
you're speaking volumes

Without saying anything.

Oh, no.

Now, you out yourself shaving
this morning, didn't you'?

You don't normally
shave yourself, do you'?

You go to the barber's.

And that's a fake tan,
which needs topping up.

And when did you last have
a manicure?

Now, I noticed those shoes
have recently been re-soled.

Nice shoes, but why didn't you
just go and get another pair'?

Are you on an economy drive'?

I understand what you're doing.

What time is it, Mr. Carter'?

Oh, no watch.

You normally wear one,
don't you'?

'Cause there's a tan line
round your wrist.

That's a dead giveaway.

And I bet it was
an expensive watch.

How much did the pawnbroker
give you for it'?

This is ridiculous.

LANE:
Is it'?

Isn't this
how you make a living?

- No, this is cheap theatrics.
- Whereas you have a gift.

CARTER: That's right.
- Of course you do.

You saw
Douglas Anderson's ghost.

Yes, I did.

And he told you
he had unfinished business.

- That's right.
- And he was holding a key.

And he was talking
about an unopened box.

CARTER:
Yes.

What was it like?

Well, it was wooden,
with gold and black lacquer.

You are a liar and a fraud.

There was no unopened box
at the Anderson house.

Well, then I'm confused.

I mean,
I can't always be exactly...

Oh, please don't be confused,
Mr. Carter.

There was no box
because I made it up.

And I told Penny Anderson
it was significant

in the hope
that that information

would crop up again
somewhere else.

And lo and behold...

It wasn't about the money.

PULLMAN:
Revenge, then?

My real father suffered
an injustice.

During the commission
of a crime.

Douglas Anderson left my father
to die in prison.

He also took you in and
treated you as his own daughter,

whereas your real father's
actions

could have put you
in an orphanage.

How long have you known
about Hong Kong'?

A couple of years.

The company I work for, their
head office is in Hong Kong.

They had some dealings

with my father's
construction company years ago,

and I was asked to dig out
the particulars

of one of these deals
from the computer archive.

I found copies of memos
my father had written.

It was...

It was like I could hear
his voice again

after all these years.

I started digging,

and I followed a trail

of newspaper articles
and court reports

until I had uncovered the truth.

So, then you broke in
to the house in Knightsbridge

looking for clues
as to Where Douglas Anderson

may have hidden the money?

That's right.

What happened'?

Douglas --

Dad found me in the study.

I confronted him
about what had happened

and what I'd found out.

It must have been too much
for him.

He...

His, um...

He...

His heart, it, um...

It's all right.
You can stop there.

Are you okay'?

Right, let's start
from the beginning, shall We'?

Preferably with a version
of the story

that's at least plausible
this time.

Douglas Anderson's involvement
in this fraud

was never proved, Penny.

It didn't appear
in the newspaper articles

or the court records
of the time.

And his heart gave out

as the result of a struggle
with an intruder...

HALFORD: During which
he sustained several blows

about the face and body

which were not delivered by
a person of your size and build.

PULLMAN: Now we know that
Daniel Cheung was in Hong Kong

at the time.

So, who broke in to the house?

Okay, We'll come back to that.

What's your relationship
with Cheung'?

I tracked him down in Hong Kong.

His father suffered an
even worse fate than mine did.

Part of that money
belonged to him.

Actually, all of it belongs
to the Chinese government.

And when my colleague told you
about the unopened box,

you sent Daniel Cheung to burgle
the house again.

Did you meet with him
this morning?

- Yes.
- Where'?

In a tea house.

Tell us about Sebastian Carter.

Vicky fell for all this
psychic nonsense

just after her mother died.

I found Carter.
He needed money.

I thought
if he could persuade her

that her father
was talking to him,

she'd open up a dialogue
with Carter

and he'd be able to find the
location of the money from her.

Assuming she knew it.

- Of course she knew.
- I don't think she does.

I don't think your scheme
would ever have worked.

Douglas Anderson Wouldn't have
taken that secret to his grave.

Maybe not.

But he didn't know he was going
to his grave, did he'?

PULLMAN:
Who did he struggle with, Penny?

Who broke in to the house
that night?

- I don't know.
- That's not true.

My life has been a lie.

Douglas Anderson
cheated my father

and left him to rot
in a prison.

That's not an answer
to the question.

He must have told Vicky
Where the money was.

HALFORD:
What if he didn't'?

She knew the truth.

All this time,
they were both laughing at me.

- PULLMAN: No.
- At my father.

I don't think so.

HALFORD:
And if she didn't know,

then she's lost her father
and her sister has betrayed her

and she doesn't even know Why.

I'm not an accountant,

but there's an awful lot
of red ink in Carter's books.

That's fine.

I reckon
he must have been counting

on his share of the fraud money
to bail him out.

We've already got Carter.

That's not who
Penny's protecting.

I Wouldn't fancy him in a fight
with Douglas Anderson anyway.

That's brilliant.
Thank you very much.

So, what's the opposite
of an alibi?

I don't know.

No, neither do I,
but I think I've just heard it.

Penny Anderson reckons she was
the one who met Daniel Cheung

-at the tea house, right'?
- Yeah.

Well, that was her company,
and according to her assistant,

she was at a marketing meeting
in the boardroom

till lunchtime.

LANE: So, who was Daniel Cheung
meeting'?

Well, not Carter,
and it wasn't Penny.

Well, we know
it's not Simon Beswick.

STANDING:
Well, do We'?

Plummer was his cellmate.

He could have told him
about the fraud

and that Anderson
still had the money

and Beswick fancied it
for himself.

But why would Penny
be protecting Beswick'?

She's put a lot on the line.

I don't see why she'd feel
any loyalty

towards a man
she doesn't even know.

No, it can't be Beswick.

Both us
and the original investigation

ran the prints
on the first burglary.

Beswick has a criminal record.
There would have been a match.

Unless they do know each other.

Who?
Penny and Beswick'?

Sandra, what Jack says is right.
The prints don't match.

- It's not Beswick.
- It's not Beswick.

- HALFORD: No.
- It never was Beswick.

What wasn't'?

Of course the prints
don't match.

- God, that's very clever.
- What is'?

There's only one person
that Penny could be protecting,

and it's not Beswick.

No!

He's just calling himself
Beswick.

We've got him.

He's not here,

and the bed-sit upstairs
has been cleared out.

Well, as neither of us
speak Chinese,

as far as we can work out,

he's been gone
for a couple of hours.

If he knows the others
have been arrested,

he might think this is
his last chance

to force Vicky to tell him
Where the money is.

[Thud]

John Plummer,
you're under arrest.

I want my money!

You're not as handy
as the other bloke.

MAN:
Come on, up you get.

We knew Penny
was protecting someone,

but we just couldn't
work out who.

Now, you were the only person
left in the mix,

but why would Penny protect
Simon Beswick,

a man she didn't know?

And anyway, We'd already
discounted Simon Beswick

because his fingerprints
didn't match

those left at the scene
of the burglary.

Then we realized
there might be another reason

why the prints didn't match.

You're not Beswick.

STANDING:
What happened to him'?

He died in prison.

Pneumonia.

It was just about the time
the British were leaving

and the Chinese
were taking over.

One bureaucracy
supplanting another.

There was enough confusion

that the right bribes
in the right places

allowed him to be buried
as John Plummer.

So you became Beswick,

who was serving
a much shorter sentence.

You seem to know
all the details.

Do you need me to be here?

I want to know
about the fingers.

I bet you do.

Bit of a desperate measure,
wasn't it'?

I don't imagine any of you

ever saw the inside
of Victoria Prison, did you'?

It was a hellhole.

Bad enough
when we were running it.

It was only going to get
a lot worse

when the Chinese took over.

And I was a gweilo,
a foreigner,

who'd stolen millions of dollars
from their own government.

The only way I was getting
out of that place was in a box.

And Beswick's missing fingers
were noted on his prison file.

Exactly.

I'd managed to squeeze

Beswick's whole tedious
life story out of him

before he croaked.

I knew everything about the man.

But the fingers
were a bit of a giveaway.

And how did you...

One of the machines
in the prison laundry.

And I used the steam press
to cauterize the wounds.

Gory enough for you'?

Take us through the death of
Douglas Anderson, Mr. Plummer.

Yes, that didn't go
quite according to plan.

Because he died'?

Because the bastard died
before I could kill him.

I broke in that night
with two aims.

Douglas was going to tell me
Where the money was

and then I was
going to kill him.

But best laid plans
and all that.

When Douglas got back,
he found me waiting for him.

I think he was scared.
He should have been.

All that time in prison,
this was all I'd thought about.

L, uh, hit him
a couple of times,

for my own gratification.

I had no idea he'd developed
a heart problem.

The coward started turning blue
there and then,

so, uh, the clock was ticking.

And that's when he told you
about the key'?

That's all I could get
out of him.

He kept saying "the key,
the key" over and over again.

So I got his keys out,

opened everything I could.

Found nothing.

Douglas seemed to find this
funny,

or maybe he was having
some kind of seizure.

Either way, I lost my temper
and hit him again.

And that's when he died.

No remorse?

He stole from me.

STANDING:
Then you and Penny

cooked up this scheme
with Sebastian Carter.

That was Penny's bright idea.

I was all for doing a repeat
performance with the girl,

but, uh, we couldn't be
absolutely sure

she knew where the money was.

She didn't.

Apparently not.

So, all of this was for nothing.

You win some.
You lose some.

PULLMAN: What about
your daughter, Penny?

What about her'?

You went to prison.
You left her on her own.

I'm sure she had a nice life
with the Andersons.

A life which you ripped apart

by coming back and telling her
what had happened.

I told her the truth.

And now she faces
a prison sentence

because she tried to help you.

Her choice.

PULLMAN:
That's it'?

Yeah.

Your only child.

I barely know the girl.

Poor Penny.

Given the circumstance,

I imagine the courts
will be quite lenient with her.

It's broken, though, isn't it'?
Everything.

Yes, it is.

So, what are you going to do'?

Are you going to stay here,
or...

I put the house on the market
this morning.

The contents, everything.

I don't want it.

I'm sorry about your father.

The man everyone's talking about
isn't the man I knew

or the man I want to remember.

Does that make sense?

Yes.

I'm going back to Australia,
to Heron Island.

All my best memories are there
of him and my mother.

All of us together.

And Penny.

I'd like her to join me,
but I don't --

The noddy tern.

Brian!

The noddy tern!

The key!

It's not a key!
It's a cay!

Heron Island.

VICKY:
Yes.

LANE: You say your family
had a home there.

VICKY:
That's right.

Heron Island.

It's on the Great Barrier Reef.

It's famously composed of
coral sand, rather than rock.

So, what do we call an island
that's composed of coral sand'?

- A cay.
- LANE: A cay.

C-a-y.

Douglas Anderson was saying
"cay," not "key."

And that's Where the money is.

On Heron Island?

There's a safe.

Dad had it put in
when we left Hong Kong.

But it's not big enough
to hold all that money.

Well, not the money maybe,
but the paperwork.

All the details of the bank
account where the money's kept.

We should get the Aussie cops
to search that house.

So, it's been there
all this time.

He never spent a penny of it,
and he never told anyone.

What was the point'?
Why did he do it?

That's the one question
we can't answer.

VICKY:
Maybe my mother knows.

There's a Woman in Whitechapel
my mother communicates with.

I should speak to her
before I go.

I'll let you know
if I find anything out.

Well done, Brian.

Poor girl, though, eh'?

The sins of the father.

Or three fathers in this case.

Yeah, well, you can't choose
your family, can --

Sorry, Sandra.

It's all right.

He was a fraud, Sandra.
Sebastian Carter, I mean.

He didn't know anything.

He did, though, didn't he'?

It doesn't really matter

that he wasn't communing
with the dead.

He was right about what my dad
would think.

The situation with your brother
isn't easy.

No, it's not easy.

It's not meant to be easy, Jack.

[Buzzer]

Whatever you think
I've done now...

You haven't done anything.

My father had an affair
with your mother.

Now, I don't like that,

but -- but, then, I don't
suppose he was doing it

to gain my approval.

None of this is your fault is
actually what I'm trying to say.

I know that.

Yeah.

If you don't want to have
anything to do with me,

I understand.

I'm not much of a family person.

Was he a nice guy'?

I think so, yeah.

Well, that's something, then.

There's a pub
at the end of your road.

Yes.

Can I buy you a drink'?

Yes, you can.

Do you want to come in'?

I'm not sure how this is
going to work out.

Me neither.

That's okay, isn't it'?

I think it'll have to be.

# It's all right, it's okay #

# Doesn't really matter
if you're old and gray #

# It's all right,
I say it's okay #

# Listen to what I say #

# It's all right, doing fine #

# Doesn't really matter
if the sun don't shine #

# It's all right,
I say it's okay #

# We're getting to
the end of the day #
