Stan Lee's Lucky Man (2016) s01e04 Episode Script

A Higher Power.

Whoever wears the bracelet is endowed with immense luck.
"You're only as rich as you feel.
" Save me from this.
- Who's that? - Big-shot gold bullion dealer called Vincent Lermontov.
There is a legend about a bracelet like yours.
I heard it long ago.
I was meant to give it to someone else.
He'll come after you! I'm looking for Harry Clayton.
I went to the Green Dragon casino.
I think they're running a fixed roulette table.
I've won money on one of these tables! 70 grand.
I need you to, hum, look after it for a while.
I'm gonna need somebody I can trust.
I am your eyes and ears, sir.
D.
I.
Orwell's going to be joining you on the Hatton Garden case.
Come on! Where is it? - Tell me where it is! - Relax! Where's the diamond? Go to hell! Wait! Who are you? I said: stop! You're gonna shoot me, Harry? He's here! Fuck! Police! Can I have a name and address, please? I am Kate Olsen, of F.
R.
S.
A.
, 5 Pipe Square, Canary Wharf.
Think someone's coming to hurt me! Keep your calm, Miss Olsen.
Police are on their way.
Could you tell me exactly where in the building you are? Miss Olsen? - Please! Please - Hello? Police station Hello? Original air date: 2016, February 12 Sync and subs by mielb My heart's beating way too fast for its own good.
But I don't care.
Nothing else matters.
Nothing can go wrong.
Not when the universe around me is so in sync with my every move.
And I know with utter certainty that tonight is my night.
That with each turn of the card, spin of the wheel, roll of the dice, my fortunes are gonna change forever.
It's time.
Time for everyone who ever doubted me, who belittled me, who despaired of my losses, to bow down at my kingship, and glory in my brilliance as I win it all back, and keep on winning.
Amen.
That's how every night starts.
Come half ten, it's all gone down the toilet.
Believing in good luck is madness.
Takes all of us.
That's why we're all here.
Great speech, Harry.
Thank you.
Let's wrap up and say the steps out loud.
Step one: I have a gambling addiction.
Step two: I am placing my faith in a higher power than myself.
I think this is the dumbest thing you've ever done, Harry.
I'm aware of that.
I won that money on a crooked roulette wheel.
You don't know that for certain.
I know that the woman who was with me that night is a criminal.
The woman who gave me this.
Then why did she give it to you? I don't know! All I do know is that I'm alive.
I could easily not have been alive.
Maybe I shouldn't be alive! I'm glad that's all clear, then! The total from Lau's jet is reported to be about 10 [Applause, cheers.]
Excuse me one second.
How is the head? My good looks! Listen, I gather it was looking pretty grim for me back there before you Risk life and limb to save your arse? I'm kidding.
Yeah Anyway Thanks for that.
Any time.
Oh and how's it going with the two in custody? Er yeah! Alright, the The leader Nelson, he's he's keeping stum but the other one, he's 19 years old.
Gonna lean on him for the last member of the gang.
You you nearly had him, didn't you? We'll need a description.
They were wearing helmets to be fair.
Yes, it's hard to talk it through with you.
Winter wants to see us both, now.
Wah! Ho! Finally! Some love from the big man! I am Kate Olsen, of F.
R.
S.
A.
5 Pipe Square, Canary Wharf.
Think someone's coming to hurt me! 999 call, 9:24 pm last night.
Kate Olsen works for the Financial Regulation Security Authority, investigating bad traders.
There's been no sign of her since that call.
Which would mean this is a murder, without a body? We'll treat it as a high-risk missing person with a significant threat of murder.
So, am I back as S.
I.
O.
(Senior Investigating Officer) on this? You charged into a highly explosive situation without any thought, against all our planning, and yet, your actions saved Orwell's life and recovered a priceless gem stone, so while the Grady inquiry progresses, I've decided to put you on another case! I gather it's the popular choice.
Do I get a reward for finding the diamond? I was offered a job in a place like this once, as a bonds trader.
I bet you were, with your brilliant kind of girls, they'd be mended by now.
Nothing unusual here.
No sign of any kind of disturbance.
But she specified she was in this office when she made the call.
We need to find out who else was in the building then.
Yeah or who followed her in.
This building has a pretty impressive security system.
You can't get in without a pass.
This is Kate Olsen, coming in at 7:45 last night.
And you were in the security room all night? Yeah.
And you checked the four 80-tapes for Olsen leaving? She's not on them.
There's no record of Olsen's pass checking out either.
But she's not in here now, so how could that happen? Beats me.
Can you check the CCTV on the 15th floor at What time did she make the 999 call? 9:24.
9:24.
OK.
These are all the screens on our corridor.
Wait, wait, it's just jumped 10 minutes.
Rewind.
I don't understand.
OK.
Play.
Here! See? 10 minutes! OK, bring up the CCTV on the underground car park and the emergency stairs at 9:24.
We need to get forensics to check out her office properly.
No, I don't understand! Why have you let him come back as S.
I.
O.
? He saved your life.
He's a hero to the guys out there.
But we know he's rotten.
Knowing's not the same as proving.
It's about time you pay a visit to Lily-Anne Lau.
Lily-Anne Lau? We need a physical record of what went on between Harry and her father.
I keep thinking I'm seeing Ben everywhere.
Is that weird? No.
I've tipped off a mate of mine in Vice about the Green Dragon roulette tables.
What? I'm not letting Lily-Anne Lau just get away with this.
Hello.
I'm Brett Stonewood.
Kate Olsen's boss.
In the past few months, Olsen has just been working on one case.
If I'm honest, we've had concerns about Kate for quite a while now.
What do you mean? Kate's behaviour has been erratic.
This case started to consume her.
She started chasing down obscure foreign leads, sometimes punching in a week later.
So the fact she's missing doesn't surprise or worry you? I didn't say that.
Who's that? I know him.
Vincent Lermontov.
Yes.
He's the former CEO of the company Kate was investigating.
He died two weeks ago? By jumping off the needle building.
Yes.
Why was she investigating in him? Vincent Lermontov was a gold bullion dealer.
He bought and sold huge quantities of gold.
Kate became convinced that he was too good at it.
But I'm guessing she didn't convince you.
We work on evidence And there was none.
What does that mean "too good at it"? Kate thought that Lermontov's results were beyond all probability.
That basically, Vincent Lermontov was just too Too lucky.
Who runs Lermontov's International now? His son, Paul Lermontov.
Kate had an appointment to meet him, last night.
Just before she went missing.
I only found out about it today.
She never told me about it.
[Phone beeping.]
Sorry.
I'm sorry, I have to go to this meeting but you will keep me up to date, please? OK? Sir, ma'am.
This is the flat of someone with no interest apart from their work.
One to use, one to wash.
Anything? - She has type-I diabetes.
- What? This is an emergency Click and go kit.
She has to maintain her glucose level with regular carbs or eat some sugar or she'll get woozy and loose consciousness.
What happens if she doesn't have it? She's in trouble.
- Fentanyl.
- Yeah! Forensics found tiny traces all over on Olsen's desk.
It's used as an anaesthetic, you can get it on the black market.
Someone knocked her out.
We went to Olsen's flat.
We found syringes and insulin.
We think she's prone to hypoglycaemia.
If Olsen's glucose level drops when she's under, the kidnappers will have to act fast.
Maybe that's the point.
The perfect murder is a murder we can't prove.
All they would have to do is deny her any food, sugar and just wait! If that happened, it'd be very hard to prove she didn't die naturally.
Can I get on with my job, please? I thought you did this for fun though! Listen, will you try to make sense of all the charts and figures in Olsen's files? I'll be next door if you need me.
Jesus! 24th of April 1986 [Phone rings.]
Harry? Get on line.
I need you to look at something.
You're unbelievable.
Aaahhh! Mum! That looks very very similar.
Who's this dude? He's a dead dude, Vincent Lermontov.
He's a gold bullion dealer billionaire.
Look at the dragons.
And the extra long yang line.
It's definitely the same Ming Yun bracelet.
You know what, Harry? Now that I'm awake, I'm 100% sure.
It's definitely the same bracelet.
Yeah.
I thought so.
[Phone beeps.]
Hold.
I gotta go.
Anna's on the other line.
Bye.
Anna? [Phone rings.]
What have you got? You can partially disable the F.
R.
S.
A.
building from the cable room in the basement, but it's not easily done.
Check the CCTV on the roads out the Isle of Dogs.
If we're lucky, we might isolate the vehicle in the same time frame.
Copy that.
There's a young woman.
She says she urgently needs to speak to Harry? [Knock on door.]
Oh, thanks for coming by! She's really worked up.
What the hell happened? She says she saw someone in the street.
I I don't know if she's lying Daddy! Daddy! I saw a scary man looking at me! So I hear! Alright! It's alright.
Where's Harry? You've just missed him.
When will he be back? I'm sure he won't be long.
I work with him.
So, hum Why don't we start with your name? Eve.
She fell asleep holding my hand.
She always used to do that, remember? You really don't have to stay.
She won't wake up now.
Listen, I don't think it's safe for you to stay here.
I don't think she saw anyone, Harry.
She just misses you.
I'll feel a lot better if I stay here.
I'll sleep in the armchair.
Our hero.
How do you know Harry? I don't want to talk to you.
I need to see Harry.
Now.
Why don't you tell me what the problem is, and I'll call him.
- You can't help me.
- Look, wait I can see you're in some kind of trouble.
Let go of me now.
Tell him he doesn't have to believe in me.
He just has to believe in it.
Time's run out for me.
Who is this Eve? No idea.
Well, she knew who you were.
I think I figured out what made Olsen so obsessed with Vincent Lermontov.
Oh yeah? The price of gold always goes up when something very bad happens.
Like Tottenham beating (Manchester) United? No.
Like wars, natural disasters, big stuff! These 3 dates are when Lermontov made his biggest investments in gold.
Read them out.
21st of December 1979 3 days before the Soviets invaded Afghanistan.
24th of April 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
10th of September 2001, the day before 9/11! Lermontov bought 100 million pounds worth of gold, his biggest ever investment, things worth 8 times as much by the end of the year.
Olsen believed that Lermontov knew these things were gonna happen? If she did, then she really was crazy.
No-one could have known.
Let's go see the son and heir.
- Hello.
D.
I.
Clayton.
- Good morning.
Please.
Follow me.
Nice seagull! It's an albatross, dummy.
Mr Lermontov will be with you shortly.
Thanks.
He has the best view in the best city in the world.
I do, don't I? Shame I don't appreciate it.
My eyes are hyper sensitive to light.
Have been since I was a kid.
Right So how do you live in the tallest building in London with floor to ceiling glass? This is my father's flat.
Your father died recently, didn't he? On his 70th birthday.
He went up those stairs, climbed onto a balcony and jumped.
Did you know my father, detective Clayton? No, I didn't.
Really? I thought you must have met him.
We're here about Kate Olsen.
She went missing two nights ago.
Really? You met with her that night.
What did she want to talk to you about? Kate Olsen was obsessed with my father and his business, to an almost pathological degree! She wanted to speak to me about the same thing that she always did.
Probability.
The probability that my father couldn't be this successful.
Maybe she was right.
People like Olsen didn't understand that the harder my father worked, [Phone rings.]
the luckier he got.
Excuse me.
Hello.
Just give me a second.
That's a remarkable bracelet you're wearing, detective.
It's Tang dynasty, isn't it? Hum So I've been told.
And where did you get such an incredible piece? I bought it down Romford Market.
Your father had so much.
Why do you think he felt the need to kill himself? That's the thing about luck, Harry.
It always balances out in the end.
Anna, hi! It's me again.
Just trying to make sure everything is OK? Hum I'll try again later.
OK, bye.
Everything OK? Daisy thinks she saw a man outside the house last night.
What have you got? We tracked this from one of the roads out the Isle of Dogs.
Check the time line 42, 8 minutes after the black-out.
Was the SUV registered to an address? Canal boat on Regent's canal.
[Glass shatters.]
This is it! I can't see anyone inside.
We have no warrant! We have no time! Kate? Kate? Close those.
Kate? Kate? Hand and leg ties cut.
She was here.
Jesus! What does insulin smell like? Er Band-Aids.
I don't know what that is.
Have a look through there.
Anything? [Loud thumps on the roof.]
What the hell is that? There's someone on the roof! What the hell? Hey! Hey! Hey! Jesus! We're on fire.
Check the windows! She's locked up a chain --- Harry! Do something! What? Harry! Suri! It's OK.
Come on.
Come on! We need to get you out of here now! I've got you.
Come on! Oh! God! I've got you.
Sit here.
Breathe.
Breathe! [Sirens approaching.]
OK? What exactly are you and your boss asking me for, detective Orwell? We're asking for your cooperation.
That is sweet.
But I think you're asking for a little more than that.
If such a document existed showing the financial relations between my father and Harry Clayton and I'm not saying it does, how can you guarantee it won't be used against me? It would only be used as evidence in an internal investigation into Clayton.
Nothing more.
- I have your word on that? - Yes.
And there's no question of my father's murder investigation ever being open again? No.
Food for thought.
I have to see what I can find.
Oh hi, Anna! I'm just heading out.
- It's a very quick question.
- Sure.
How did we get Kevin Grey's case? What do you mean? Well, I'm just wondering who paid for us to take him on? Why does it matter? Clearer than that.
I expect Grey paid for himself.
I never thought he could afford it by himself.
Well, I'll have a look and get back to you on it.
It's that important.
Thank you, Nathan.
SOCOs are at the boat now.
Not that there's much left of it.
- You OK? - Hum (yes).
For a moment there I thought that was it then Olsen found something up about Lermontov that's worth killing for.
What then? [Phone rings.]
Sodium thiopental.
What? The syringe you bagged at the canal contained sodium thiopental, which has a variety of anaesthetic uses.
But forensics think the concentration in the syringe is similar to that used by the Soviets as truth serum.
Soviets? They were interrogating her.
So we know they kept her alive.
Yeah, until they find out what she knows.
Right, we're dealing with a different operator here, you know, someone with serious military training.
formerly in a relationship with Ms Fenchurch with the other victim Lau Hi there! I just want to make sure that Daisy is OK.
She's at my mum's.
You shouldn't be here on your own.
Well, you'd better come in then.
I spent the whole day worrying, thinking that I should have been here last night when Daisy got scared.
- You were.
- Yeah, but I mean I should have been here with you, protecting my family.
I think I'm doing a pretty good job at that myself, thank you very much.
Yeah, but you know what I mean.
Can we start all over again? No, seriously.
I'm serious.
We can get it all back.
- How? - I can get it all back.
I promise.
You were always short on self-belief.
True.
Why I fell in love with you in the first place.
Yeah.
Listen, you should probably go.
- Yeah.
Five minutes.
- Yeah.
What are you hiding, Kate? [Phone beeps.]
I gotta go back to work.
OK.
But when I'm done, I'll I'll come straight back and we can - Harry.
- spend proper time together.
Harry, Harry.
What do you think just happened? What do you mean? Well, do you think everything is OK again between us? Well, yeah, I mean What? Because we went to bed together? Well, why did you then? Because I was lonely.
Well, me too.
I mean, we can move on from here Harry, nothing's changed! We still have to move out from this house on Monday.
You're still a compulsive gambler who could lose everything that Daisy and I ever had for ourselves.
You said you gotta go? I met an old man in Kirov who swears he knew Vincent Lermontov before he became Vincent Lermontov.
Vincent Lermontov is actually Vincent Zolin, a railway worker and hired hand for the Kirov mob He killed a notorious Moscow KGB boss when he was 23 9th of April.
Went to see Brett Stonewood at the Landor Hotel.
He told me my new information about Vincent Lermontov was false.
He advised me strongly to take it no further.
Stonewood brought a new F.
R.
S.
A.
agent to our meeting.
Tall, bald, Russian accent.
I heard rumours that you'd given up gambling.
That's true.
I have.
Then you must be the ghost of Harry Clayton.
Winning very big today.
Gambling's for losers.
That's why I've given up.
Can you beat a flush? I've often heard it said.
Once you stop caring, then, you can really start winning.
- Harry, your money! Burn it! Stonewood was actively trying to get her off the Lermontov case? Yes, but she kept going regardless.
Still, he tried to intimidate her by bringing a new F.
R.
S.
A.
agent, some tall bald Russian guy.
Jesus! Where are you now? Just outside the F.
R.
S.
A.
I'm going in.
- Wait for me.
I'm nearly there.
- There's no time.
Suri, I said, wait for me.
That's all I've been doing.
Suri? Shit! You lied to us.
- I told you everything you needed to know.
- No! You deliberately withheld what Olsen found out about Lermontov.
Police.
Kate Olsen's crazy theories have no bearing on this at all.
It's why she was taken away and you've known it all along! That is a very serious accusation to lay at a senior F.
R.
S.
A.
officer, D.
S.
Chohan! Excuse me, what do you? Oh! - Where is she? - What? Kate Olsen is about to die out there, and you're an accessory to her murder.
- No.
- Who was the Russian bald man you took to that meeting with Olsen? I don't know.
I was never told! But he wasn't an F.
R.
S.
A.
officer, was he? - Was he? - No.
Where is she? I don't know, I promise! You told him about Olsen's hypoglycaemia, didn't you? Explained that all they had to do is deny her sugar and she would die naturally.
And then, when they dumped her, it would look like poor mad Kate Olsen had a tragic accident.
You have no evidence that I did anything out the law.
You're under arrest.
Suri, grab his things.
I think Lau is gonna help us.
And did she give you the impression this record existed between Harry and Freddie Lau? She hinted that this was just the start of what she has on Clayton.
I mean this goes back a long way.
Where is Clayton? He's questioning Brett Stonewood in interview 1.
I've uncovered some files showing he was complicit in Olsen's abduction.
Olsen was so paranoid she encrypted all the intel she gathered on Lermontov.
I managed to decode some of it.
She certainly had plenty of information to indict Lermontov.
Stonewood then handed Olsen to him on a plate when she wouldn't drop the case.
Anything else on Olsen's whereabouts? We just know they're interrogating her somewhere, trying to find out everything she knows.
Our only hope is they won't let her die until they're sure they have everything.
Well, dead or alive, she's probably out the country by now.
Border controls have been on high alert since the 999 calls.
They'd have to smuggle her out another way.
Shipping containers.
Lermontov has a shipping company called Albatross International Freight.
Based at Canary Docks.
Services freight to Russia and the Balkan states.
That's where Olsen is.
Get Clayton, get over there.
I'll sort a warrant.
Harry, how the hell are we going to find her in here? Harry, we can't just drive around like this.
She's here somewhere, I know it.
Yeah, but where? [Radio PA.]
Harry.
Come in, Harry.
Come on, come on! Where are you? Harry, We need to interview all the crane drivers.
We haven't got time.
- Well, then what's your plan? - I'm placing my faith in a higher power.
Great! So you have no plan.
Come on, come on! Christ! Where is she? That's it! I have a visual, stick with me.
Orwell, get her down! Kate Can you hear me? She's alive? Jesus! What the hell? Eve? She's alive.
Just.
Imagine my surprise.
I spent last three weeks looking for you all over town.
So why don't you introduce yourself, and say why you spent so much time trying to meet me? Who I am does not matter.
What really matter is who are you and why are you wearing that bracelet.
Detective, father, ex-husband, brother, compulsive gambler And there was high hope that you got the wrong man.
But you are wrong man.
She should never have given that to you.
It is why she has to die.
- It's all her fault.
- NO! Eve.
Eve.
You know so little about bracelet, Harry.
What? I can not kill her before I kill you.
Tell him why.
- Tell him! - He won't understand.
Tell him.
Tell me! Eve, tell me.
I'm the only one who can remove the bracelet.
Da.
You see it's too late for me to just chop your hand off.
Because the bracelet is joined to him now, isn't that right, Eve? You're making a mistake.
It's not the real bracelet.
I thought you would say that.
This is why we're going to test it out now.
Vincent used to play this a lot.
But then Vincent really was one hell of a lucky man.
Anyone can beat just one bullet.
Well, keep going, Kojak, or you don't have the balls? Oh I have balls.
But you have "ming yun" bracelet.
That's a cheap piece of tin! It doesn't mean anything! And what do you think saved your dress rack, ha? In that river? Let's face it, Harry, before you got bracelet, you weren't very lucky man.
I don't feel very lucky now! Vincent used to be a penniless worker on Siberian railway.
But then one night, he accept the contract to kill one of most dangerous men in Moscow.
But even Vincent didn't realize that his ultimate reward would be Eve's mother coming to visit him with that very same bracelet.
You've no idea what you're playing with, Becker.
Which is why you're going to burn in hell.
50-50.
This is where it gets interesting.
Believe in it.
That's the thing about luck.
- Daddy, daddy, I saw a scary man.
