Memory Lane.

You old bugger, I haven't seen you for years.

Come to send me on my way, have you?

Very nice, thank you.

[Clock ticking]

[Thwacking and groaning]

[Door squeaking]

Brian.

What the bloody hell do you think you're doing?

I'd forgotten how much your knuckles bruise

when you hit somebody.

I reckon it's your brain that's bruised.

Do you know who that was last night?

Of course I know.

So you assault the met's most successful commander

in front of his family and 50 of his closest friends?

Dead smart.

The cell was just like this one.

I really thought a few hours in,

it would shake a story out of me.

What are you talking about?

He was a local lad.

A wannabe drug dealer, well more of a gonnabe.

But he knew things, he had contacts.

It was a good strategy.

Brian, who are you talking about?

So, Anthony k became my last collar before I retired.

What's this go to do with embleton?

Embleton was one of the three officers on duty

when I brought Anthony into the station.

Anthony was drunk,

so I told bill and the others to book him in,

but keep an eye on him.

I was only gone a couple of minutes.

Where?

I needed a drink.

Ah, right.

When I got back, Anthony had choked on his own vomit.

They hadn't bothered to check him.

Of course the paperwork said

they'd done everything by the book.

So they covered up their own negligence?

Yeah, and drew attention to mine.

The fact that I was drunk.

That I brought the lad in

under the influence of god knows what.

That's why they gave you early retirement?

Three sober testimonies,

against one that could barely stand up.

[Tense piano music]

I'm just disappointed.

Embleton is the only one left from those days.

And if I let him go without doing something,

what kind of copper am I?

What kind of man?

Don't be stupid, Brian.

Stupid?

Yeah, that's exactly what I am.

He's got the plaque, the pension, the kids who love him

and a reputation that's so shiny,

you can see your face in it.

What have I got?

Arthritis.

A son who wishes I didn't exist,

and a name that'll never be clear.

You've got ucos, you've got Esther and you've got us,

and not one of those things has ever let you down.

[Tense music]

Commander embleton has filed a complaint.

And as you assaulted him at 19:58,

two minutes before his contract with met expired.

And there will be a disciplinary hearing?

You seem remarkably well informed.

Lucky guess.

Yes.

The hearing will be in five days time.

And will embleton have to come back?

Each of you will need to make a statement

before the panel, answer questions,

and then they'll deliberate.

Brian, you do understand

that if they uphold embleton's side of this,

you will be permanently dismissed from ucos.

Permanently?

Until the result of the inquiry, you're suspended.

[Boat horn honking]

Brian takes a swing at embleton apparently, right?

I mean, you know the size of the man.

Smacks him one, he goes down like a sack of spuds.

Was Brian drunk?

He says not.

Bloody hell.

What's that?

This is the latest thing in smoking cessation technology.

The electric fag.

Very high tech.

[Suspenseful music]

This pistol was found there on the riverbank,

yesterday afternoon.

Early ballistics suggest it was used

to kill Christian highsmith on the 6th of August in 1998.

Ten days after he disappeared,

Christian's body washed up on the isle of dogs.

[Steve] So he was the heir to a shipping fortune, huh?

Yeah, the son of the highly decorated

second world war veteran, sir Charles highsmith.

[Steve] Looks like the apple fell far from the tree, eh?

Then it rolled down the hill,

stopping off at all the bars, brothels and casinos.

Christian was in charge of the family's container fleet

and 11 months before he died,

20 kilos of cocaine was found in a funnel on of their ships,

the Gracie highsmith.

Huh, bet they he was into smuggling.

His sister, Laura highsmith, denies it,

but we'll talk to her.

The new evidence here is the gun,

so Gerry, I want you to focus on that.

Where's Brian when you need him?

Hold on, look, it's got a,

little white insignia on the barrel here.

Looks like a flag.

Yeah, so the pistol is a sistema Colt,

standard issue for the Argentine military

during the falklands war.

[Container carrier whirring and beeping]

[Laura] You were expecting tears?

I was expecting something.

I'm sorry to deprive you

of an emotional fireworks display,

but stoicism runs in the family.

Was your brother like that?

No, more's the pity.

We did everything to try to everything to keep him on course

but it wasn't enough.

Why was he trying to raise half a million pounds

before he was murdered?

I didn't know the answer then, and I still don't.

Street value of that coke

must of been at least half a million.

This again?

The drugs were seized, nobody made any money from them.

Exactly.

If Christian had agreed to smuggle the drugs,

he'd be held responsible for their loss, wouldn't he?

Your assumptions are arbitrary at best.

Why?

Because any opportunist could've put that bag

into the ship's funnel without Christian

or the crew knowing anything about it.

Sounds like the perfect cover if you get caught.

He wasn't caught, he was cleared.

There are thousands of ships going in and out

of ports everyday.

This kind of thing happens all the time.

We are well aware of how hard it is

to police international shipment.

Then you'll know that the vast majority of these incidents

have nothing whatsoever to do with the ship owners,

won't you?

[Laura sighing]

[Banging on door]

Coxy?

Coxy?

Come on, you old sheep shagger, I know you're in there,

I can smell the leek and potato soup from here.

Oi, that's racist talk, that is.

Behave yourself and open the door.

I haven't seen you since you nicked me

for having that hash farm in the old folks home.

That's right yeah, down in the laundry room.

Yeah, very creative use of space I thought.

And there was that old guy

who thought he was genghis kahn.

Chaka kahn.

That's the one, yeah.

Listen, I need to talk to you, mate.

Won't take you long.

Should I be doing a runner?

Dunno, should ya?

Come in then.

Cheers.

Listen, look at this.

Seen one of those before?

I've had one fired at me, mate.

Oh yeah, of course,

you had it rough too, didn't you?

Is that why you always went easy on me?

Well, easier.

Don't tell the others, though.

Why's this gun got your goat, then?

It was fished out of the thames a couple of days ago.

We matched it to a murder.

You got any idea how it could've got into circulation?

You asking me normally or in italics?

Coxy, I'm just asking.

Lot of lads came back with trophies from the argies.

Ah, so I should be looking for an ex squaddie?

Not necessarily.

Most lads dumped what they'd taken

in the solent before they got home.

Well, the ones I knew.

See this, though?

The tallies.

[Gerry] Ah.

The argies would carve one in for every kill.

So this gun killed three of our boys?

[Muffled gunfire and yelling]

You did this deliberately.

I offered mr kaye a cup of water.

He declined.

Although mr kaye was clearly inebriated,

there was no sign that he was in any distress.

You knew that hitting him

would trigger some sort of a disciplinary.

Distress, declined, distress.

I just don't understand why.

Declined, that's it.

What's, "restricted"?

Oh, you'll get yourself into even more trouble

taking these copies, won't you?

Here we are.

"My colleague, police constable William embleton

later offered mr kaye water,

but he again declined."

They all use the word "declined".

Do they all use "it" and "and"

and "the" as well?

I'm trying to concentrate.

On what?

What if there's nothing in there?

Do you know what?

You sound like Jack.

He told me I was chasing shadows,

that's why I never looked in this file.

This is my last chance, Esther.

To do what?

To ambush embleton.

Tell that panel what really happened to Anthony,

maybe force them to reopen the investigation.

And that's why you hit him?

To buy yourself more time before he could get away?

Brian, why put yourself in this position?

So I wouldn't have a choice.

I either prove bill embleton was guilty of negligence

or my career's over, once and for all.

It's do or die, Esther.

And what if you don't find any proof?

If Jack was right?

[Tense music]

[People chattering]

There you go, my lovely.

Cheers.

Hang on a second.

See you next week, yeah?

Hiya.

Hi.

Did you mean to pick that up, my love?

Actually.

I thought not.

Really?

I can see it in your eyes.

Can you?

You see, I wasn't sure.

It's not clear from the pink sticker, is it, my love?

The sticker?

The two-for-one offer's on the other line.

I ran out of the green luminous stickers,

had to use the pink ones on everything.

Oh, I didn't notice.

It's causing bloody chaos [laughing].

Here, I'll swap it for you.

No, no, don't.

Please, it's fine.

Here.

[Market trader] All right.

Thank you.

Don't you want your change?

Huh, listen to this.

After the war, the British army

confiscated 11,000 argie weapons,

along with eight million rounds of ammo,

and word has it that a lot of our boys took trophies.

So Christian could have been killed by a squaddie?

Or a squaddie could have sold the gun

to somebody who went on to kill Christian.

That was 16 years ago.

The gun could have changed hands loads of times since then.

We're still waiting on full ballistics.

Oh, I also had a butcher's at Christian's gambling.

He owed bookies all over town.

Didn't add up to half a million, I suppose?

No, nowhere near.

His biggest claim was 50 grand,

and sir Charles paid that along with all the others.

It's got to be the coke, then.

Christian's into smuggling,

so he can't go and ask his father for the money

because of the shame.

We've still got nothing to prove that.

Do you know, do you know what I'm finding really weird?

Why does Laura spend all of her time down the docks,

instead of some nice office in the city?

She likes to be hands-on.

Unless she's involved in something

that needs her to be hands-on.

Yeah, I mean, she'd have dock hands

and warehouse men to do all that.

All right, we'll take a closer look at the company.

Have we got manifests from Christian's time there?

Nine boxes worth.

Better get started, then.

What?

Isn't this the sort of work that's more suited to someone

who doesn't have a social life?

Well, this lego's the last of it, I think.

And we're trying to get rid of boxes.

Well, you said you wanted to keep me busy.

Yes, clearing out the attic

and painting the spare room.

Well, it's good for me, is this.

It's keeping my mind off the other thing.

Yes, you're right.

It was thoughtful of them to give you something to do.

I, um,

I saw you were looking at Sarah kaye's website.

Yeah, I was thinking of contacting her.

What?

Why?

Because no-one ever did.

There's nothing you can say to that woman

that's going to make the death of her son any less painful.

Esther, this is the only way my conscience will be clear.

Oh, so it's about you, is it?

Not about her?

But why have you got this?

I'm losing my natural shine.

Oh.

Oh look,

Mark made that for me one night, didn't he?

He left it on the carpet for you to find.

He was so proud of it.

He wanted to be a policeman like his daddy.

I trod on it.

I was too drunk to put it back together for him.

[Sombre music]

[Muffled dog barking]

[Internet casino woman reading results]

[Dramatic music]

Yes, gotcha [laughing].

So how long did it take you to make this?

Four hours, 36 minutes.

Now look, the funnel isn't deliberately afc colours,

it's just I ran out of yellow pieces.

Is there a point to this, Brian?

Every three weeks,

Christian wrote down a string

of alphabetical encryptions in his diary.

Encrypting what?

Every shipping container has a unique 14 digit code.

He was keeping tabs on particular containers.

All those dates always coincide with the arrival times

of the Gracie highsmith at tilbury.

The ship with the coke on it?

So he was smuggling?

Well after the bust, he started hiding

the drugs in the containers on the ship.

It carried 500 containers,

so customs couldn't possible inspect them all.

So he gave the codes to someone on shore,

so they'd know which container to go for?

Who else can we connect to the ship?

Well, there's the shipping agent.

He's the middleman.

He goes between the ship owners like Christian,

the exporters who need the containers

to shift their stuff to the importers.

So our main suspects are a cowboy,

a pirate, a spaceman and a fireman.

And one of them must know something.

So, so who's the spaceman again?

The shipping agent.

Gordon Fletcher, latitude shipping.

Now.

[Steve] Sir.

I will just collect the things that I forgot

and I'll be on my way.

Right under my nose.

Sorry, sir.

Excuse me.

Sorry.

We've got a second match on the gun.

Before it was used on Christian highsmith 16 years ago,

here, it was used to kill a 12 year old boy,

Danny bossano, in 1982.

In Gibraltar?

[Robert] Yep.

But it doesn't make sense.

Just one other match?

I mean, if a gun's on the streets,

you'd expect a lot more than that.

[Brian] Harry Truman.

I'm sorry?

I found his name last night.

He owned one of the London casinos

that Christian used to frequent.

Truman and Christian were friends.

Truman's based in Gibraltar.

Well, don't you see?

It's another connection.

If it wasn't for me, they'd have nothing.

But strickland still won't let me help.

[Esther] Well, it's your fault, isn't it?

Oh, maybe you're right,

maybe I've made a terrible mistake.

Oh.

I want you to see somebody.

Who?

Somebody you can talk to about kaye, embleton, all this.

I don't need any help.

You're all over the place.

What's that doing there?

[Esther] Well, it's Mark's stuff from the attic.

Mark's stuff?

That's mine, is that.

I bet that's been crushed and shaken, I bet it's damaged.

It's a toy, Brian, it's just a toy.

It's a vintage, it's collectible.

You're collectible,

by men in white bloody coats.

Now get some help or i'm going to take that aeroplane,

I'm going to smash it into a thousand pieces

and feed it to you.

I've told you, I don't need help.

Well, what do you need?

To make things right?

Tell me.

It's just my mind's always on, Esther.

Always churning, always going.

I can't shut it up.

I have to have a case or it hurts, it bloody hurts.

What happens if they Chuck you out in three days time

and there aren't any more cases?

Well, I can't do ordinary life, it's not enough.

Well, I'm sorry that you think our ordinary life

is so far beneath you.

That's not what I meant, is it?

[Ship horn honking]

[Steve] Well, mr Fletcher?

[Mr Fletcher] You're right,

those containers were unloaded here at tilbury.

[Steve] What do these numbers mean?

They're the gauges.

They tell us that the containers were destined

for the backs of large freight lorries.

Were they also designed to fall off

the backs of these freight lorries?

What was in them?

Well, if we take the last one as an example,

there were products from 87 different manufacturers,

destined for several thousand distribution companies.

You'll get me a list?

You already have it.

Oh, right.

And all this cargo is legit?

Well, all the cargo that I arranged, yes.

Yeah, but could Christian highsmith have arranged for,

say, drugs to get in there without your knowledge?

Sorry, you're suggesting that the son

of one of this country's most respected and admired

businessmen was a drugs trafficker?

Yeah.

Well, in theory, yes.

I mean, they were his containers, his ships.

[Steve] And you're the middleman.

[Mr Fletcher] So now you're suggesting that I'm involved?

No, no, no, just wondering how

Christian could have managed all that on his own?

Well, I wouldn't know.

I work out of the office,

I've only met him once, maybe twice.

How often do you meet with Laura highsmith?

Well, her company remains a valued client.

We meet whenever necessary.

How would you define necessary?

Well, whenever the client requires.

Thanks for your help.

Yeah, we need to talk.

[Laura] A list of numbers doesn't prove anything.

[Sandra] Carefully encrypted numbers?

[Gerry] For containers on a ship

that had already been busted.

This is becoming a sustained campaign

to tarnish my company's name, isn't it?

We're trying to solve your brother's murder.

Does that not matter to you?

I loved every impulsive, messy inch of him, but he's gone.

My father, too.

This is all I have left of him.

Where was the Gracie highsmith coming from?

It worked the far east and Spain,

but we scrapped it in 2005, it's of no interest.

Everything revolves around that ship.

I'll find you the crew records.

Already got them.

Did it ever go to Gibraltar?

Of course it did.

It unloaded there?

No, the port's too small, we use it for bunkering.

Do you?

Means refuelling.

The ships stop out in the med and small barges come out

from Gibraltar with the fuel.

From a floating petrol station?

You could say that.

The gun that was used to kill your brother

was only ever matched to one other crime,

the murder of a young boy in Gibraltar.

Did Christian ever go there?

Not to my knowledge, no.

Okay, thanks for your time.

So, what do you reckon?

Think you're right,

but I'm not sure strickland will go for it.

[Upbeat music]

Listen to this,

"neanderthal man ended his days out here

after facing social rejection from the early Spanish."

It's a duty free paradise this place, you know?

Cheapest fags in the world, by the way.

Really?

Not that you'll be interested in that, Gerry,

chewing away with on that robo-stogie of yours.

Hold on.

Bloody hell.

"St Michael's cave is home to a deep underground lake

which is only open to small, guided groups.

The spectacular stalagmites and stalactites,"

fascinating though these,

"can be seen from the side of the lake."

Facts are, Gerry,

there's only so many of them I can take.

Suffering from fact fatigue?

If he doesn't put that book down, he'll be suffering.

Oh, come on guv'nor.

I mean, when you're on holiday in a new place.

We're not on holiday.

Well, we sort of are, aren't we?

We're on an investigation.

Hello, that's me.

Good afternoon, ma'am.

[Sandra] Good afternoon.

[Policeman] Let me take your suitcase for you.

Thank you.

In you go.

Thanks.

[Steve] Thanks a lot.

Right, whilst we're here, I've got some rules.

No going out, no jollies, nothing untoward,

because I promised strickland that you'd behave.

This is going to be a right old laugh, isn't it?

We're not here to have a laugh Gerry, we're here to work.

Am I going to have a problem with you, Gerry?

Because if I am, you can just turn right round

and get back on that plane.

Do you understand me?

[Gerry] With the Dutch,

we captured Gibraltar from the Spanish in 1704

and the cheeky sods tried to get it back in 1779.

Superintendent Raphael Cruz is going to meet us down here.

Why here, why not at the station?

He's in the middle of something, apparently.

Imagine being a cold case officer here, eh?

Be bored out of your mind.

[Upbeat music and boat engine roaring]

[Policeman] Mind your step.

Take him in, I'll deal with the paperwork later.

Come on.

Sorry about that.

Just been chasing him up and down

the strait for the last two hours.

La guardia wanted to shoot him, but that's not my style.

Superintendent Cruz.

Detective superintendent Pullman.

A pleasure.

This is Steve mcandrew.

Nice to meet you.

And Gerry standing.

Nice to meet you.

So you're the local cold case officer, eh?

Over here, officers must handle

a wide portfolio of responsibilities.

In addition to unsolved murders,

I'm on boat patrol, financial crimes, crowd control,

traffic safety and youth liaison,

but that's usually only on Saturdays.

And are you the,

help the old ladies across the road officer, as well?

I was brought up to always help my elders.

Are you able to walk to my offices,

or would you like me to arrange transportation?

Well, how far is it?

It's three whole minutes.

I'll manage.

So you spend all your time in that boat, then?

Most of our activity is out in the strait,

disrupting traffickers.

The actual crime rate on land is so low,

that whenever something happens,

it causes quite a stir.

So murders are quite rare, then?

Every four or five years, maybe?

And we have one of the best detection rates in the world.

Just perfect, isn't he?

I'm sure you can understand that,

with this new evidence,

I'm keen to get my Danny bossano case

solved as soon as possible.

We feel the same way about Christian highsmith.

There were four cold cases

when they gave me this responsibility.

This is the only one I haven't solved.

[Phone ringing]

On June the 30th, 1982,

Danny was found dead inside one

of the second world war bunkers.

Top of the rock.

What was he doing up there?

One line of inquiry suggested he was

working as a lookout for a gang.

[Gerry] What's the evidence?

He had a clansman radio.

And at this location, you can see

right across the Gibraltar strait,

on both the Spanish and African sides.

But it's quite inaccessible,

so drug traffickers running out of Morocco by boat

would often use children.

To watch for police boats?

Right.

So who killed him?

A rival gang?

[Superintendent Cruz] Or someone from his own gang.

Well, we think our victim,

Christian highsmith, was trafficking drugs

via a container ship that bunkered here.

Maybe Christian was doing business

with the same gang that killed Danny?

Well, that would explain why the gun

only showed up in two crimes.

It only ever belonged to one gang.

You think a lot faster than you walk.

Can we look at this place?

Sure.

It gets a bit windy up there.

[Gentle music]

[Steve] So this is where Danny was killed, then?

Yes, he was found over there,

with a bullet in his chest.

So these were all military buildings, yeah?

Yeah, they were commissioned after the second world war.

[Gerry] So there used to be a lot of soldiers here, then?

[Superintendent Cruz] Over 10,000 in 1982.

10,000?

And even more after the ships

came back from the falklands war.

[Sandra] And that's how the gun got onto

the island in the first place?

Yes, I thought that too,

when I received your report.

You know what, guv'nor?

Maybe a soldier did kill Danny.

Obviously, at the time we didn't have the murder weapon,

but now we do, it would be worth going back to the mod.

Do you have a contact?

The commodore will see you.

I'd like to meet Danny bossano's father.

Why?

What do you think you're going to find?

Oh, I'll find something.

[Ship horn honking]

[Superintendent Cruz] Mr bossano,

our colleagues from London have discovered

that this gun was also used in a British murder.

1998, a man named Christian highsmith.

Yeah I know the name,

their ships pass through here all the time.

[Sandra] Do you have any personal dealings

with the company?

No, no, I just work in the warehouse.

Thank you for coming today.

Christian highsmith was using a container ship

called the Gracie highsmith to traffic drugs into the UK.

What's that got to do with my Danny?

[Sandra] There was a theory about him.

Theory?

Only a theory.

No, no, hang on.

Danny was thought to be involved

with traffickers, wasn't he?

You should leave now.

I'm trying to help, mr bossano.

By portraying my dead son

as some kind of juvenile criminal?

Let's go.

But if what they said about Danny is true.

It wasn't true.

Danny was a good boy.

My only boy.

He'd never have been involved in something like that, never.

What are you doing here?

Why are you bothering my father?

[Mr bossano] They're not, they're going.

You're Danny's sister?

Yes, younger sister, Natalie.

We don't talk to them, vamono.

[Sandra] Told you I'd find something.

And what is that?

Well, don't you think it's interesting

that Levy wants to keep his daughter

as far away from this as possible?

He's a protective father.

Or a secretive one.

Do you have evidence you're not sharing with me?

No, of course not.

Then why do you suspect Levy

of having some involvement in this?

Most child murders involve the parents

somewhere along the line.

I think you should keep away from the Danny bossano case.

Focus on Christian highsmith.

Are you warning me off?

No, but this is a small place

and compromise is an essential part of life here.

Really?

Well, in my experience,

compromise can bring an investigation to a crushing halt.

In mine, it gets far better results.

And please remember,

when you leave, I will still be here.

You are warning me off.

No, I'm wondering

if you have another lead to pursue, for now?

Actually, I do.

[Gentle music and seagulls squawking]

Passport, please.

Thanks.

There you go.

[Dramatic music]

[Gerry] Blimey, this is some place, isn't it?

[Steve] Wow, fantastic.

Thanks very much.

Thank you.

Gentlemen, welcome.

Commander sinclair.

Steve mcandrew, hello.

Please, feel free to dispense with the formalities,

call me Adam.

Gerry standing.

I thought we were going to meet commodore Jones.

I'm afraid the commodore's unavailable, so I stepped in.

Sizeable shoes to fill but I hope I'll do.

So I understand you found a gun?

Argie Colt.

Noisy little buggers.

Yeah?

Look, this might be a bit of a shot in the dark,

if you pardon the pun,

but have you got a list of personnel who were here in 1982?

You're talking about Gibraltar's military heyday.

There were over 10,000 personnel.

Yeah, but there must be something written down somewhere?

What are you hoping to find?

We're trying to work out how the gun

got onto the rock in the first place.

[Gerry] We think it was brought back from the falklands.

One of the soldiers in the ships that came back here.

And then maybe involved in later crimes.

Yeah and if they did, there might be a chance

they could know something about one of these murders.

I'll see what London has to say,

but I think you're looking for a needle in a haystack.

We've got a nose for needles.

I read that the military

use the rock and the tunnels for training.

Not any longer.

The last time was in 2006, in preparation for Afghanistan.

But were then any exercises in 82?

I'm sure there were,

before my time, of course.

Any help you can give us on that

would be much appreciated.

Like I said, the information might be classified,

but I'll see what London has to say.

[Gerry] Thank you.

Not at all.

[Steve] Thanks for your time.

Pleasure.

Something the matter?

No, no, no, I'm just interested.

Right, thank you.

Thanks a lot.

Okay.

Do you think he phones London every time he wants a dump?

He is just a tad up his arse.

Did you see how he reacted,

when I mentioned military training?

Clocked it.

You can't Nick a man for folding his arms.

But what if they were training up there,

and they accidentally shot Danny?

Well, it wouldn't take much to cover it up, would it?

No, not with 10,000 soldiers out here.

The whole rock must have been like one big base.

Hello.

It still is, isn't it?

We'd better be careful who we talk to about this.

Yeah.

Thank you.

[Tense music]

[Steve] What's up?

Oh, nothing, nothing.

Hi, marcia.

Hi.

Any messages?

I'm sorry, no.

Thanks anyway.

You're very welcome.

Maybe see you later, eh?

Mm.

You're well in there.

Don't know how you do it, lucky little sod.

Sheer animal magnetism, pal.

Who were you expecting a message from anyway?

Charley.

Texted her to let her know I was out here, you know.

I thought you'd given her the Spanish archers?

The what?

El-bow.

[Chuckling] Just worried about her, you know.

Right, bar in ten.

Five.

Steve, Steve.

Gerry, what the hell's going on in here?

Yeah, hello?

Yeah, get someone up here immediately, all right?

[Steve] What's going on?

I knew something was going on.

I had this feeling we've been followed ever since we landed.

Well, who, who?

Well, obviously the military,

it's a cover-up, isn't it?

It's a bit weird, you know,

your case hasn't been touched.

Ah, marcia,

I need all your cctv from the last three hours, okay?

A full guest list and an office

where I can do some interviews,

and no-one comes in here.

From now on, this is a crime scene.

They're probably far away by now.

Maybe, but I want to know who did this.

Window's open.

Yeah, well that's probably how they got in.

Exactly.

It was the monkey.

Monkey?

[Marcia] If you leave the window open,

the monkey will eat the biscuits.

Don't believe, ah.

Some people would call that lucky.

Gordon Fletcher's here?

Yeah, I saw him on the docks.

Well, he's a shipping agent,

you'd expect to see him in a place like this.

What, the day after I go asking him questions

about Christian highsmith?

Let's find out who he's meeting with.

How are we supposed to do that,

now that Cruz control's tied our hands behind our backs?

We just tread very carefully.

[Gerry] I don't like Cruz.

He don't like you either.

What did the mod give you?

Oh, captain sinclair said he's "waiting for London."

Might be a couple of days.

Red tape or deliberate obstruction?

The jury's still having a think about that.

I'll get another round.

No, no, we've got a lot to do tomorrow.

One more's not going to do any harm.

Gerry, we're not here to drink, we're here to work.

Besides, I promised strickland, remember?

[Sandra sighing]

[Door squeaking]

[Knocking at door]

Is mummy asleep?

It's far too early to go to bed.

[Muffled people chattering]

Hold on, hold on.

Look, are we actually going into one of these pubs?

Or are we spending the night window shopping?

We're being followed.

What?

Don't look round, don't look round.

I think we'd better split up.

Okay, okay.

You go round the block and get ahead of us.

But if I end up rugby tackling a monkey,

I'm going to blame you, okay?

I'll see you later then, Gerry.

See you in half an hour.

Yeah okay, okay.

[Gerry] Ta ra.

[Dramatic music]

Get him.

All right, all right, no need to ambush me.

What the bloody hell are you doing here?

Well, I couldn't let you come without me, could I?

How do we explain this one to Sandra?

We don't.

[Seagulls squawking]

[Birds tweeting]

So Fletcher's at the salato hotel,

I'll see what I can shake out of him.

[Sandra] Well don't shake too hard.

Oh no, these are really nice.

Yeah, I thought I might have a nibble later.

I've got an address for Harry Truman,

he knew Christian highsmith in 98.

You can come with me.

Yeah smashing, can't wait.

Can't wait to get cracking today, eh?

[Gerry] No.

You're very enthusiastic, what's going on?

Well it must be the climate agrees with us, you know?

Must be.

You really are the worst liars, do you know that?

I know what this is.

Do you?

You went out last night.

Guilty.

[Laughing] Got to get up early

to put one over on you, eh?

Earlier than you think.

[Gerry] I'm going to have a shower.

About time too, pal.

There you go.

Did you get butter?

Sandra was at the table.

Toast with bits of tissue on,

isn't exactly a hearty breakfast, is it?

What's this?

Sausage.

It's got hair on it.

It's been in my pocket.

Steve will be up with your tea in a minute.

[Knocking at door]

Brilliant.

I haven't had a decent brew in three days.

Shouldn't you be in the shower?

Before you go mad, I've been investigating.

Investigating what?

That Truman, I've been following him.

Brian.

He's up to something.

Brian.

I just can't.

Brian, you are suspended.

Please, I can help.

I need to help.

Look, he's here now, can't he stay for a while?

He's got a hearing in two days.

Wow, you know it really comes to something

when Steve is the only one I can trust.

Here you are, Brian.

Oops.

Stay where you are.

I want Brian on the next flight out today

or I'm going to suspend you, Gerry,

and that is a promise.

I'm seeing Truman myself later today.

We'll talk about this properly when you get home.

Did you bring any milk?

[Birds squawking]

Impressive set-up you've got here, mr Truman.

Harry.

We broadcast to over 30 territories in multiple languages.

You could say we're the centre of the universe,

as far as virtual gambling is concerned.

You seem to have virtually everything covered.

Not quite everything.

Offline security is a big issue.

[Phones ringing]

I'm always on the lookout for experts.

This expert's taken.

Pity.

I'm here to investigate.

Christian.

Word gets round the rock like weather.

Shall we talk in my office?

Perfect.

[Ship horn honking]

Brian, I'm counting dust particles here.

Well if you're bored,

we can always pop down to the casino.

No.

I staked it out yesterday.

That Harry Truman spends a lot of time in there.

Brian, we are not going down to the casino.

Just make your move and get on with it.

I'm strategizing.

[Gerry groaning loudly]

Anyway, my flight's not for another three hours.

There's no rush, is there?

I don't think I can take three more hours of this.

The set's reversible.

There's draughts on the other side.

Tell me about your relationship with Christian.

He was a regular in my London casino

until he became a friend.

Then I stopped him from coming.

Why?

Let me explain something to you.

Your website?

Biggest of its kind in the world.

Every second, thousands of bets placed,

millions of pounds won and lost.

All in the blink of an eye.

People believe in chance because it gives them hope.

Hope is a powerful drug.

And now you can buy it online.

You sound like an evangelist.

I just provide a service.

You pay your 20 quid,

sometimes you win, sometimes you lose,

but you always have hope.

Hope Springs eternal.

Is that what you give Christian, hope?

People who come into casinos

need to see the whites of the dealer's eyes,

to feel the adrenaline.

It's an addiction.

Which made you his dealer.

A fellow addict.

That's why I try to keep Christian out of my casinos,

and why I was only too pleased to move my business online.

If someone wants to blow their inheritance,

shouldn't you be encouraging them?

I've never had any qualms about taking money

from someone who knows what they are doing.

[Sandra] And Christian didn't?

It was like taking toys from a baby,

and then a friend, of course.

We think he was smuggling drugs into the UK.

How?

[Sandra] Through one of their container ships.

Not wishing to speak ill of the dead,

but I'd have thought that kind of logistical operation

to be beyond him.

I need to find out if he was in business

with someone out here.

Then you're not suggesting it was me, I hope?

I have to assume everything is possible,

otherwise I wouldn't be very good at my job.

Is lunch possible?

Tomorrow?

Excuse me?

If your suspicions are correct,

who else knows about you?

You need a friend, detective superintendent.

Sandra.

My second guess.

What was your first?

You can't do that.

The multiple jump is a well established move in draughts.

I'm going to have a cigarette.

I'll show you the rules if you like.

Actually, you might not be able to read them,

the booklet's very small.

[Tense music]

Mr Fletcher?

Fancy seeing you here.

Mr mcandrew.

Well you said you were always in the office.

I am, mostly.

Oh, that's what it is,

you missed out the word "mostly".

So what is this, a holiday?

Client meetings, importers.

Any exporters?

No, look, can I help you with something?

I really am rather pushed.

It just looks a bit funny, you know?

There I am in your office two days ago,

asking you questions about Christian highsmith

and what do you know?

Here we both are.

Cushty, eh?

It's a small world.

That a fact?

Mr Fletcher, my card.

Perhaps we can catch up later on?

Have a wee chat.

Mr Fletcher?

You haven't asked me what I'm doing out here.

I imagine you're pursuing a lead of some kind.

Vigorously, pal.

Vigorously.

[Ship horns honking and seagulls squawking]

[Monkey squeaking]

Get out of it.

[Phone ringing]

Guv'nor?

Hi Gerry, how you doing?

How's Brian?

He's bearing up.

[Sandra] What time's his plane?

Oh soon, yeah soon.

Ready to go, is he?

[Gerry] Yeah yeah, I helped him pack the bags myself.

No, you didn't.

Well how could you know that?

Because you left your door open and I'm in your room.

Now I don't know which bar you sneaked off to,

but I want Brian on that plane.

Do you understand?

Yes, I do understand, guv'nor,

I certainly do.

Are you kidding me?

How can you lose a whole suit?

It was in here.

You didn't see any?

How can you lose that?

Sorry.

[Dramatic music]

[Muffled people chattering]

[Croupier] Showdown.

Flush.

[Brian] Yes.

[Harry] You're on a roll, Dave, I'm impressed.

Nah, it's a simple matter of probabilities, really.

There's a man staring at the back of your head.

Oh, yeah, yeah, he always does that.

He's a bit special, between you and me.

This is my business associate.

This is Vince.

Vince?

Yeah, Vince.

Table, Vince table.

Your name's Vince table?

Yeah, yeah.

Well why don't you join us, Vince?

No, I'm all right thanks.

James, drinks for everyone.

What the hell do you think you're doing here?

I'm undercover, they think I'm a businessman.

I'd be surprised if they didn't think you were a waiter.

You do know you're the only one in a tux?

I suppose I do look a bit formal.

You've got a dry cleaning ticket on your back.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Right, let's mix things up.

How about a game of five card draw?

Perfect.

[Tense music]

2000.

Five.

[Brian] Right, I'll make that ten.

[Tense music]

Yes [laughing].

Well done, Dave.

He's here now?

Listen, you can't keep taking risks like that.

Thanks, Vince.

I'm just trying to impress Truman, gain his trust.

But he hasn't got anything to do with any of this.

Come on, mate, I think it's time we went.

Right then.

I'd like to cash in now.

I'll give you what I owe you tomorrow.

Fine.

Fine?

Yeah.

How about if I said, I won't give you anything at all?

Why would you do that?

Because I don't think you'd do anything about it.

Let's go.

How can you be so sure?

You're not used to winning.

[Gerry] Come on, Dave.

I want my money, I want it now.

That's better, Dave.

Oi oi, can't you see when somebody is winding you up?

Back home I might be Brian Lane

that gets walked all over by bastards like embleton,

but here.

Yeah here, you're Dave the waiter.

There's Gordon Fletcher.

I told you.

Didn't I tell you there was something going on here?

[Dramatic music]

[Container carrier whirring and beeping]

[Dramatic music]

Hold on, is that them?

[Mr bossano] I'm not interested.

I said, I'm not interested.

They're coming, quick.

[Mr bossano] You can tell mr Truman

that I won't say anything.

Mr Truman was adamant.

[Speaking in a foreign language]

Bossano.

That could be Danny bossano's father.

Take it.

[Speaking in a foreign language]

Come on, take it.

Move, move.

Where you going?

[Door slamming]

It's locked.

[Brian] Bloody hell.

[Gerry] Oh shit.

How's Truman?

Well, if he's hiding something,

then he's got a hell of a poker face.

You've got to learn his tells then.

I'm not sure he has any.

Oh everybody's got them.

Like the way you started touching your hair

when I mentioned his name.

How's Charley?

Now there's a tell.

[Laughing] Yeah.

Long distance relationships,

what you going to do?

[Phone ringing]

That Jerry?

No, Cruz.

Hello?

[Superintendent Cruz] You were the one here first?

[Dock worker] I was, yeah.

Just here, yeah.

[Camera shutter clicking]

Okay.

That shipping agent you were telling me about,

Gordon Fletcher.

What about him?

[Superintendent Cruz] Move.

[Camera shutter clicking]

[Tense music]

[Gerry] Still can't get a bleeding signal.

[Brian] Hang on, I've got a torch on my key ring.

[Gerry] Hold on, hold on, I've got one here.

[Brian] Nah, we've no chance.

This thing's made of reinforced steel.

So we're just stuck here then?

Well, there'll be somebody around in the morning.

If we make enough noise, they'll hear us, won't they?

What are we going to do till then?

I've got the travel chess set in my pocket.

[Loud banging]

Hold on, what was that?

Maybe it's somebody who can help.

Hello.

[Gerry] Hello?

[Brian] Help.

We're stuck in here.

[Loud banging]

Brian, that doesn't sound like a helping thing to me.

[Beeping]

Look, it's stopped, we're all right.

[Brian and Gerry yelling]

[Dramatic music]
