[bunniefuu]

Liam has invited me away.

Overnight? A day trip.

Never been tempted to bend
the rules a little bit?

Liam has a really nice smile,

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

'Liam was watching some
people in the hotel.

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

He hacked into the hotel's CCTV.

Let's hope he's
not watching you.

JAMES: 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.

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

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

Good song. Oh, God.
Sorry. I'll turn it down.

Oh, don't turn it
down on my account.

I remember going to watch
these at the Astoria.

Must've been,
what, 15 years ago?

Oh! Charlie was desperate to go.

Was he? I said we
couldn't afford it.

We had a bust-up about
it. JAMES CHUCKLES

By the time he'd convinced me
it was possibly the best thing

we could do with our
money, it was sold out.

Thanks for... being here.

But the anniversary's
not until next week.

'Yeah, I know. I know.
It's just, erm...

'Charlie's been on my mind
a lot recently, you know?'

I know it must be hard.

And if... Look, if me coming
round is a bad reminder, then...

It isn't. I appreciate it.

OK. Really.

OK.

SHE CHUCKLES SOFTLY Funny.

Charlie would've liked you.

But if he was still here, we
wouldn't have met, would we?

You made sure Alfie
Redman went to prison.

Not for nearly long enough.

And Helen and Braden are
still out there. Just...

feel like I'm missing something.

PHONE BUZZES

KEYPAD CLACKING

Can he do that?

Yeah, he says he can't
afford maintenance payments.

I'm sorry, I'm, er...

I'm gonna have to go.
I'll call you back.

Thanks.

PHONE THUDS

I'm sorry you're still
struggling with the divorce.

Thanks.

Not gonna lie...

makes me a bit nervous.

What, you joining the club?

Oh, no. Look, this
legal stuff... is hell.

But it's nothing compared to being
in a marriage that isn't working.

JAMES: OK, Nia? OK, OK, OK. Nia.

OK, team.

I've just got off the phone to
my contact in Hatton Garden.

He's ex-cop turned
private security.

He has heard whispers that
the jewels are being shown

tomorrow at a private view
for a potential buyer.

So maybe, I don't know...
maybe the g*ng are thinking

of hitting at a moment
of weaker security

while the jewels are in
transit, I don't know.

Braden's g*n is still
unaccounted for.

sh*t, Braden's g*n is
still unaccounted for.

So I need to phone the CPS

and get them to agree
to a conspiracy charge.

Do you think we have
enough evidence?

We've got the g*ng discussing
details of vault security.

And a sighting of the
vault's security plans.

Yeah, but that's
from Alison, so...

Also need to tell the
CPS of Alison's, erm...

..association with
Liam Barlow, don't I?

Which they're really
not gonna like.

I mean, they're really
not gonna like that.

Do we have a location
for Amir Joshi right now?

The Joshi family
are back in London.

Amir Joshi is going to be
at a meeting for investors,

according to The
Times' business page.

OK. I mean, it's too
risky to wait, isn't it?

It's just way too risky.
OK. So, I need to...

I need to call the CPS
and set up a meeting.

OK. If we get the nod, we
need to be ready to go.

So let's get a current location
for every member of this g*ng.

OK.

MAN: OK, that'll do. Cheers.

You... You got here fast.

Dad, were you dealing?

Just a little bit of weed.

Look, look... You OK?
Y-Your text, it...

HE SIGHS SOFTLY

That's great. Yeah, thank
you. Thanks. Cheers.

Sir? Yeah.

The Met finally got back to me.

They said someone
snitched on Danny Heath.

That's why he was convicted.

Yeah.

Liam, presumably. But why?

I mean, we should be on top
of this by now, shouldn't we?

Why did Liam take
Alison to the hotel?

And how does cloning the Joshis'
devices get them into the vault?

I mean, maybe we're
getting complacent.

We don't look complacent to me.

Well, we didn't
last time, either.

SCREWDRIVER CLICKING

PHONE BUZZES

Yeah.

Hey, are you OK?

There's something
that you need to know.

What? What is it?

OK, Liam told me everything.

He showed me photos
of the necklace.

They're gonna hit the vault,
maybe even tonight. What?

'When did he tell you this?'

'Last night.'

'Wait, why are you
just telling us now?'

'Because... Liam trusts me.'

And I didn't expect to like
him when I first started this.

'Alison. Alison,
this is important.

'Did Liam say how they were
gonna get into the vault?'

'N-No, he didn't say.'

LIAM SIGHS

I can't let him go
ahead with the robbery.

They're not gonna. We're
gonna stop 'em, OK?

But, listen, you
cannot see Liam again.

OK? He's dangerous.

OK. OK?

OK.

Yeah. Yeah, no, I
got it. I got it.

Yeah, I'll be in touch.

CPS have agreed to
a conspiracy charge.

The information from Alison
actually tipped the balance.

I mean, they don't want her
anywhere near a court, obviously,

but, er... they have advised

that we should bring in
Helen, Braden and Liam.

OK, so we just have to
stick the landing now.

Just gotta stick the
landing. Ben? Yeah?

How're we doing on
locating our suspects?

We've traced their vehicles.

They were all outside
their residences,

but so far, we've not got eyes
on Helen, Braden or Liam. OK.

Seems unlikely that they're
all having a lie-in, no?

So let's pull CCTV images
from around their homes

for the last 12
hours and get on 'em.

Wait, wait, wait.

So, sorry, Alison said they
could be hitting the vault

as soon as tonight.

But if they've already
gone to ground, then...

The g*ng could be hitting
the vault before tonight.

Yeah. f*ck. OK. We should
get down there, fast.

Erm...

Ben? Yeah?

Can you get onto the Met

and get them to send
an armed response unit?

If they are making an
attempt on the vault,

I don't wanna take
any chances, yeah?

DOOR OPENS

BRADEN: You OK? Yeah.

I just... LIAM SIGHS

I've just got to
go out for a bit.

Where you going? We're
leaving in a hour.

Just gotta pick summat up.
A bit of kit for back-up.

But we've been planning
this for weeks.

I'll be back in
time. Don't worry.

FOOTSTEPS RECEDE

DOOR OPENS, CLOSES

BRADEN INHALES SHARPLY

Thanks for meeting me here.

Did you think about what I said?

Please...

Don't do this.

If you stop, we could walk away.

We could be together. Maybe
we can move away from here.

We could be anything we
wanna be and be happy.

It's too late.

Look, if Braden's gonna walk
into that vault with a g*n,

people will die.

So if you care enough about
me to come away with you,

then, please, just
don't do this.

You don't understand.

I can't walk away from this.

I can't.

But...

I thought the Liam that I know
won't let anybody get hurt.

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

How do you know that? SCOFFS

I'm just worried. No.

You said that you KNOW
that I'm gonna get caught.

What do you know?

No, no, I don't
know anything. I...

I told you things last night.

I put it all on
the line for you.

I need to know...

Can I trust you?

Yeah. You can t-trust me.

INHALES SHARPLY

You should go.

Ben?

I've located Helen and Joseph.

They took a taxi
from Joseph's office,

and looks like they're headed to a
Hollis and Byrne residence meeting.

Yep. They're giving
themselves cast-iron alibis.

They were never gonna get
their hands dirty, were they?

OK. Tell uniform not to take
them out of their sights. Yeah.

We need to find
Braden and Liam. Yeah.

Hello. Thank you.

JAMES: Sergeant. OFFICER: Sir.

You spoken to them? No
sign of any disturbance.

But the duty manager isn't
keen on sharing information.

Not keen? I'll see about that.

Can I have a look?

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

'You have to trust me.'

RINGING TONE

Er, sorry. One... One second.

Yeah. Could we get Mr Joshi
out of that meeting, please?

It's very important
that we speak to him.

Yep. I'll hold.

Croesus Vaults' clientele
value our discretion.

Hm? You must understand
the level of security risk

involved in high-value items.

I do understand. I do
understand the security risk.

That's why I'm here.

Anything?

I'm being bounced
between assistants.

ASHLEIGH SIGHS

I have got credible information

that a g*ng of very
organised criminals

are planning a hit
on this vault today.

Now, do you wanna be the
one to tell your client

that you ignored my warning?

Give me a minute.

KEYBOARD CLACKING

According to our system,

Mr Joshi's vault was
emptied earlier today.

The contents were moved
at the owner's request.

Moved where?

They didn't... They don't
share a destination.

I-I wouldn't expect them to.

Yep, we'll be in touch as
soon as we know anything.

Amir Joshi thinks the
jewels are still here.

Yeah, well, as this nice gentleman
has finally admitted, they're not.

Hm?

Miss Joshi sent the courier.
We verified the request.

The... That's the van.

Sorry, did you say Miss
Joshi sent the van?

MUTTERS: Oh, f*ck.
The daughter. f*ck.

No, no. Just got here now.

Yeah. Nia?

Yeah, yeah. Give us
two seconds, Sir.

OK. Hold on.

OK, you're good.

The van that has just left

with the contents of the
vault, its registration is

Lima-Foxtrot-five,

seven-Foxtrot-Sierra-Kilo.

'I need a trace
on that van, Ben.'

Yeah, we're just
loading the ANPR now.

NIA: I have the van on the
A2, heading out of London.

It pings at a camera on
the A2 and then nothing.

Reshmi Joshi ordered
the jewels to be moved.

Now, her dad doesn't know
where she's taken them,

but it seems likely the g*ng do.

Excuse me?

My phone is completely dead, and
I really need to text my mum.

Please can I borrow
your phone? Is it...?

Sure.

Oh, thank you so
much. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

'Has it gone off the A-road?'

Yeah. Several B-roads heading
out in each direction.

'None of them have
traffic cameras.'

PHONE BUZZES It's Alison.

She's texting me from
different numbers.

She says the robbery's at
the Hawthorne Estate Hotel.

That's where she was with Liam.

Hawthorne Estate Hotel. Ben,
is that where they're heading?

'Alison says the robbery is there,
but we don't have confirmation.'

Er, yeah. Yeah, that makes sense,
given where we lost the van.

It's about an hour
away, at least.

Ben, could you head down there,
take a look, with extreme caution?

'We don't know if
we can trust Alison,

'and we don't know what
we're walking into.

'I'll get an armed
response there

'as back-up as soon
as I can.' Yes, Sir.

Hey. You ready? sh*t, sorry.

I meant to text you. OK.
Er, we can do dinner later?

Sorry. Crazy day.

OK. Call me when you're
done. I don't mind what time.

Sure.

Park at the back.

CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS Lovely.

Five minutes.

OK. I think we'll
do a few more here.

Then we can get you in the black
beaded couture on the stairs.

Not making any promises,

but I think that could
just get us the cover.

But that dress
needs the necklace.

They'll be here any minute.

NAVI SIGHS

OK. So... Good.

CHUCKLES SOFTLY

Rolled out the red carpet. Mm.

That's the courier.

Let's do it.

EXHALES

Yeah.

COMPUTER BEEPS, CHIRPS

Hotel security approaching.

ON EARPIECE: 'Keep walking.

'Told you.'

Unlocking now.

Go on through.

Necklace has changed
hands. Two bodyguards.

They're nearly up.

NAVI: And look at
what I've done here.

Now, the necklace...

Mm-hm. Where do you want it?

Just on the table over there.

Yeah, I see it. It's gonna
come down here. And...

I would love for the... Yes.

Joshis are in position.

The necklace is on the table.

One CPO outside the
suite, another inside.

Back straight, smile wide,
and whatever you do...

do not be yourself.

'Just open the door.'

Good afternoon, sir.
Compliments of the house.

Champagne and macarons.

Good luck with her. Yes, sir.

Room service coming up.

Perhaps the master bedroom?

RESHMI: Who's that?

CPO: Champagne and
macarons, madam.

Compliments of the
hotel. RESHMI SCOFFS

Shall I send him away?

What flavour?

Pistachio, ma'am.

Stick 'em in there.

Maybe later. RESHMI CHUCKLES

Ready?

Now.

ALARM RINGING FAINTLY

ALARM BLARING Really?

Come in?

You need to leave, now.

CPOs, you're
hearing that, right?

Get Reshmi out, leave the
necklace upstairs for the courier.

Suite doors will lock
behind you, anyway.

The courier has a key card. He's
coming up to protect the package.

PHONE RINGING Roger
that, Chandra.

RESHMI SCOFFS Yes?

LIAM: 'Good afternoon,
madam. It's the management.'

Is this a drill?
I'm afraid not.

Please evacuate immediately.

I apologise for any
inconvenience caused.

ALARM CONTINUES

GUEST: What on
earth is going on?

PHONE CHIMES Oh, God.

Problem? Alison.

She's... She's at the
hotel. Oh, for f*ck's sake.

Tell her to leave. She
needs to stay out of this.

PHONE BUZZES

Listen to me.

There's a robbery
that is happening now.

MUFFLED: No, madam.
This is a fire alarm.

It's a robbery.
They're using the CCTV.

Oh, my God! What is going
on? Let's keep moving.

RESHMI COUGHS

MUFFLED: Wait outside, please.

No, no, no!

They want everyone to get out
so they can take the necklace.

Erm...

They're clear. They're clear.

ALARM BLARING

'Switch the necklaces.'

CPO: Keep moving, madam.

Wait. I need my necklace. You
have to go back and get it.

Chandra said it was
safest in the room.

I don't give a
f*ck what she said!

I'm telling you to
go back and get it.

I'm not leaving without it.

Bag secure. Coming down.

f*ck! The CPO is coming back.

Hide! What?!

CPO: I'm in the suite.

I'm not waiting for him.

It's full of smoke.

COMPUTER CHIRPING
We've got a problem.

I can't open the door
to the linen room.

'My remote access isn't
working.' Well, get it working.

'The fire alarm must have
triggered something.'

We haven't got time for this.

'You can't go down the main
stairs, the Joshis are there.

'If they check the replica,
they'll suspect you.' What?!

You can't get caught
with the jewels on you.

You're gonna have to dump them.

There's a laundry chute on the
other side of the staircase.

'Put them in there, and we'll
collect them at the bottom.

'Put the jewels in
the laundry chute!'

OK, it's done.

Now get in here and get me out!

HEAVY BREATHING

I'm going in. I've gotta go!

STAFF MEMBER: Sir, thank you.
Do you know the way to go?

If you wouldn't mind,
thank you so much.

Liam, where are you? I
can't stay here, can I?

MUFFLED CHATTER,
GUESTS CLAMOURING

I'm coming! Coming. Just...
Just wait, I'm coming.

Alison! Alison!

Liam...

ALARM RINGING

MAN COUGHS, HANDBRAKE CLICKS

f*ck.

STAFF MEMBER: Thank you
so much for your patience.

GUESTS CLAMOURING Yeah,
I'm really sorry, madam.

PHONE BUZZES Ben?

Something's going on at the
hotel. They're evacuating.

OK, we've just got
a text from Alison.

She said she's at the
hotel. Can you see her?

No. 'We need to
know she's safe.'

'She might be
inside. I'll check.'

Armed response are
on their way, Ben.

They're six minutes off, OK?

No, no, no. I'll take a
look. I'll be careful.

Stop this before it's too late,
OK? The police is on their way.

MUFFLED: Funny you're here, too.

Look, they've got g*ns. And
Braden's got a g*n, too.

Which is why you need to get
out before you f*ck this up!

CPO: OK, let's go.

SIGHS Screw this.

Braden! Stop!

Police!

LOW HUM OF CONVERSATION

ASHLEIGH: 'As this
interview is under caution,

'we've provided a
BSL interpreter.

'It's very important
that you understand us.'

DC Lawford was shot.

One of Amir Joshi's
bodyguards was k*lled.

I was there. I saw it.

Mm-hm.

You'll appreciate why it's
important for us to understand...

Do you want to tell us how
you came to be at the hotel?

HE SIGHS SOFTLY

I-I went there to try
and stop the robbery.

Right.

And how long have you known

that the robbery was
gonna be at the hotel?

I didn't know. I... I guessed.

You guessed?

SCOFFS: I mean...

You can see why I might have
difficulty believing that, yeah?

I mean, you stayed at the
Hawthorne Hotel with Liam...

two days ago.

I mean, you stayed in
the exact same suite

that the robbery took place in.

I texted Ashleigh.

I told you it was
gonna be at the hotel.

And a couple of hours before,
you told me it was at the vault.

But... You gave me
false information,

which meant we couldn't
stop the robbery.

I didn't give you false information.
You see, DC Lawford is in surgery.

He's having a b*llet
removed from his abdomen.

So I need to
understand, quickly...

..why you changed your story.

Did you get cold feet?

Did you and Liam fall
out? What was it?

No, no. Liam told me that it
was gonna be at the vault.

That's what he said. Right.

Why would he say that
if it wasn't true?

Hm...

Liam found out I was
working with you.

And I think he was listening
into our conversations

through my hearing A*DS.

Through your hearing A*DS?

Sorry, is that even...
is that even possible?

What... What... What makes
you think he hacked you?

Well, erm, he was asking
me about my hearing A*DS

and how... how they
worked, you know?

And I found out my hearing A*DS
were paired up to my phone.

And I didn't set that up.

OK. So... You think that Liam
used you to misdirect us?

Yeah, I think...

And you were never
tempted to help him?

Yeah, I was...

At times, I was tempted by him.

But that's because he
knew I was struggling.

But... I couldn't do it.

Because the more I learnt

being with you guys,

the more I realised that people

really do get hurt. And...

I really didn't want
that to happen to anyone.

I really didn't.

Do you know where Liam is now?

What he's...? He's not...?

Did you not arrest
him at the hotel?

Braden escaped in the van.

Antony's in custody,
but he's saying nothing.

We didn't find
Liam at the hotel.

We didn't find the
jewels, either.

But here's what we do know.

Someone shut down
the hotel CCTV...

..right before DC
Lawford got shot.

I think that was Liam.

I think...

Liam always intended
to escape on his own.

He planned it.

So he tricked...

He tricked the g*ng, and
then he used me to do it.

SNIFFLES

DC Lawford put himself
on the line for the job.

Let's make sure that
wasn't for nothing.

Let's put all our efforts

into finding Braden and Liam.

We're not gonna let them
walk away this time.

So, everything that I did and
all the risks that I took,

they were for nothing?

JAMES: Should've listened
to you about Alison.

She was over-involved.

OFFICERS YELLING

BRADEN: 'You don't feel
so clever now, do you?'

'What have you done?'
