Stan Lee's Lucky Man (2016) s01e05 Episode Script

The Last Chance

EVE: Whoever wears the bracelet is endowed with immense luck.
SURI: I went to the Green Dragon casino.
SURI: I think they're running a fixed roulette table.
SURI: I've tipped off a mate of mine in Fraud about this.
I've won money on one of these tables! I'm not letting Lily-Anne Lau just get away with this.
What exactly are you and your boss asking me for, detective Orwell? We're asking for your cooperation.
It would only be used as evidence in an internal investigation into Clayton.
I believe passionately that we can change the men who come in here.
My client died in your prison.
You're not going to persuade me into thinking we're suddenly allies.
I am Kate Olsen, I think someone's coming to hurt me! Kate Olsen was obsessed with my father and his business.
She wanted to speak to me about the same thing that she always did.
Probability.
BECKER: She should never have given that to you.
I'm the only one who can remove the bracelet.
EVE: Believe in it! Ahaaah! You may believe, Harry Clayton, but you haven't learnt how to control luck, or how to mould it to your will.
BECKER: Now, it's too late.
Look him in the eye.
Becker, look him in the eye when you kill him or the bracelet will avenge him.
If you try to save him, you can't.
BECKER: I have bullet in every chamber.
Meet his eye or it will curse you, it will burn you.
Believe ! [GUN SHOT.]
Eve? HARRY: Let's call this in.
- You can't do that, Harry.
- I'm a murder detective.
They're gonna ask you why you're here with me tied to a chair, next to a dead man and a loaded gun, what are you gonna tell them? You're gonna say it's because you're wearing a lucky bracelet? EVE: You go! Now ! I'll deal with this.
- What? He's still here.
EVE: - Go! But what of the? Oh God! Original air date: 2016, February 19 Sub by mielb [PHONE RINGING.]
Good morning.
Hoxton Ditch.
Let me just check that for you.
[HORN.]
[PHONE RINGING.]
- Hello? SURI: - Harry, where are you? Where have you been? I've been calling you all night.
Did you catch him? No.
I chased him and I I lost him by Tower Bridge.
Are you OK? You sound weird.
I'm OK.
I've been in the hospital with Kate Olsen.
She's gone into an insulin coma.
SURI: - You're still there? - Yeah.
Yeah.
I've been called up for a shooting at the Hoxton Ditch.
SURI: It's a private member's club.
I'll be there in 15.
35 Curtain lane.
Harry? What happened? That guy caught me by surprise.
Why didn't you radio in? I didn't have the chance.
How long were you tracing the driver? Quite a while.
I can't be sure.
You think he was the one holding Kate Olsen captive? Yeah, he must have been.
At least, she's still alive.
Yeah, that's good.
So, this is it? DS CANE: Caleb Pursey.
He owned this place.
Shooter walks in, wearing a mask, slipped past the receptionist, shoots him three times in the chest.
[3 GUN SHOTS.]
Do we know who the shooter is? DS CANE: All they got is dark hair and jeans.
Probably white.
And the next of kin? DS CANE: Caleb's wife, she's already been notified.
She heard the shots from upstairs.
SURI: Mrs Pursey SURI: Do you know of anyone who might have wanted to kill your husband? SURI: Anyone who'd been threatening him? No.
Can you think of anything that could help us find the person who did this? I don't know.
I SURI: A name or? I don't know anything.
This is Finn Belman.
Could you tell them what you saw? I was behind the bar but when he ran out, I saw something on his belt.
I think it was a bottle opener from the Old Slaughter bar.
BAR MANAGER: Yeah.
All the bar staff have this.
I've got six on the books at the moment.
That's sheer luck, they're all here right now.
- Hey! Privacy! SURI: - There's 2 upstairs and 3 down here.
That's one missing.
Where's Tim? He's not here! BAR MANAGER: He's supposed to be working.
Which one's his locker? - Harry! - I've got a key.
HARRY: It's a shaped head mask.
Tim who? Tim Larson.
No, that's fine.
Thank you.
Their address for Larson doesn't work.
He left there owing 6 months rent.
Harry? Can you follow up? I need to go.
Go where? About last night, the hours you were missing, where were you exactly? I've made a mistake.
I've walked into something.
Why are you being so bloody weird? It's a trap.
What have you done? Trusted someone I don't know.
HARRY: Eve? HARRY: Eve? Murder and violent crimes? Donna, hi.
Harry Clayton here.
Listen, can you tell me whether any body's brought in overnight? Possibly unidentified.
DONNA: No, we had a quiet one for a change.
Oh, apart from a woman in Edgeway who killed her boyfriend.
- Just the usual.
- Thanks, Donna.
HARRY: Paul Lermontov.
Good morning.
It's alright.
If you're here about Kate Olsen, I have no new information.
Oh no! We found her.
She's alive.
She's gonna make a full recovery.
Good! What a relief! The man who kidnapped her, he used to work for your father, Yuri Becker.
You remember him? Yuri Becker? No, I can't say I do.
Well, I'm sorry but he didn't manage to kill me or Olsen.
Sorry, you're losing me.
You're saying this Yuri Becker was trying to kill you as well? Olsen discovered who your father really was before he became such a lucky man.
That's why she needed to be killed.
I'm gonna connect you to her.
I don't think I'm quite following you.
You've ever played Russian roulette? HARRY: I heard your father was fond of it.
There's nothing quite like having a loaded gun placed against your temple.
Clears the mind.
- Morning, D.
S.
Chohan.
- Hey.
I found an address for Tim Larson.
His girlfriend declared him homeless to the council, 3 months ago.
She told them he's a gambling addict.
Shall we? Of course he is.
See why I stopped being with an addict, it's not about the things they've lost.
It's the fear of what they're gonna do next.
CARMEN: And he's done it.
SURI: Carmen, do you have any idea where Tim is now? I heard him on the phone talking about some game where you don't need money CARMEN: where anything's up for grabs.
We've nothing left so, God knows what he's playing with! Did he say where this place might be? Carmen, do you have any idea why Tim might have wanted to kill Caleb Pursey? He must have owed him money.
HARRY: How do you know? CARMEN: Someone pushed this under the door, two days ago.
HARRY: Someone's been watching you.
Seems the Hoxton Ditch is a casino! Something's not right.
What if Tim Larson wasn't killing the person he owed money to? What if he was killing FOR the person he owed money to? Harry, is this too close to home? Because if it is, you should walk away now.
No! I'm fine.
This is the next step.
Caleb didn't send these.
This isn't who he was.
What about this? Who has access to these chips? Anyone who plays here.
Do you know if Caleb knew this man? SURI: He's called Tim Larson.
He may have owed Caleb money from gambling.
No.
I don't know.
Could you show us where the casino is? HARRY: What's the minimum bet in here? Ask him.
He ran it for Caleb.
CROUPIER: Minimum bet: 1,000.
2,000 to get in.
Tim Larson couldn't afford to play here.
Come on.
Thank you.
SURI: Just give me a second, Harry.
Sir, can I show you a photograph of a customer who may have played here? Do you recognize this man? SURI: Can I take your name, please? Don Marianski.
What are you doing here, Don? It's a crime scene! I let him in.
I get work to do.
Harry! That's the guy that led me to the stacked table at the Green Dragon.
He's hooked up to Lily-Anne Lau Contact Fraud.
Find out what they know about him and any connection.
Where are you going? - To find Tim Larson.
SURI: - Where? Places you don't know.
- I'm coming with you.
- Suri.
I'm a gambler.
The places I'm going to people know me.
If you come with me, they'll clam off.
GOV.
JULIAN: I wanted you to come back here, to White Cross, so I could show you what we would have offered Kevin Grey.
In this restaurant, we are for on-site training and rehabilitation, a job, reintegration on the outside.
Except he killed himself.
Which was a tragedy.
And a failure, on my part.
Alright, you want to show me you can do better.
Why? Cause I know your work.
You genuinely defend clients who, like Grey, come from pretty deep criminal backgrounds.
Well, wherever we end up is usually dictated by where we start.
So I've always felt I should try level out the playing field.
That's why I wanted to bring you here.
I want you to become a mentor, for my outreach program.
Where's Harry? Hum, sir, I've got Simon from Fraud coming in.
Why? Lily-Anne Lau owns a probable money laundry.
Sorry, you've lost me.
What's this got to do with the Hoxton Ditch murder? Last week, this man, Don Marianski won big at the stacked roulette table at the Green Dragon.
So I told Fraud and they've had him on surveillance.
Then today, I ran into him again at the Hoxton Ditch running the gambling room there.
So you think this guy might be part of a money-laundering chain? Yes.
From the Green Dragon to the Hoxton Ditch.
Don Marianski recognized me so Fraud need to get in there before Lily-Anne Lau can cover her tracks.
OK.
Keep me posted and find Harry.
HARRY: Sorry, boys.
PLAYER: You can't keep winning, Harry.
Your luck must run out sometime.
Yeah.
Have you heard of a place where people can gamble without using money? Using what? HARRY: I don't know.
Sort of place a major addict might go when he needs a way out.
No.
I'll tell about that place.
BALD PLAYER: You can down play the next hand.
You're killing this here, man! Do you know it? It's a deal? I've heard about this game where no money's exchanged.
What do they bet with? Whatever they're prepared to lose.
A man can walk in with nothing, walk out with a Porsche or not walk out at all.
They bet themselves.
- Sami! - There's this games master, he levels out the stakes.
I could bet my villa against your wife.
Shut up, Sami.
This is just an old wife's tale, Harry.
No, no, no.
My cousin Magdalena was played in it.
Tell me where it is.
WAITER: Good afternoon, madam.
Our specials today are grilled sea bass with herb and raisin salsa and chermoula marinade and crushed Puy lentils with tahini and cumin.
Well, it sounds delicious.
So, how long have you been working here, then? Nearly 6 months, now, madam.
And you're training to be a waiter when you leave? We perform varied tasks in order to learn all aspects of the restaurant trade including sous-chef and waitering, and kitchen maintenance madam.
I'm visiting cause a client of mine was an inmate here.
Briefly.
Kevin Grey? ANNA: Did you meet him? He committed suicide.
I expect you heard about it.
GOV.
JULIAN: Sorry about that.
So You thought about my proposal? Yes.
Yes, I'd love to be a mentor here.
- RICH: Sorry, I was just taking in a little consignment.
More stolen treasures of Iraq! No.
Where is Harry? I came alone.
I need to talk to someone who knows him.
What's wrong? I'm worried he's losing his distance with the crimes we're working on.
Getting so close, he can't see clearly anymore.
His work has always consumed him.
This is different.
He keeps taking huge risks and it's making him A nightmare to work with? Yes! Of course.
But I was gonna say unstable.
Maybe even a little paranoid.
You mean more paranoid than normal.
He went missing for 12 hours.
I don't know what happened but when he came back, he was acting weird.
Has he said something to you about the gambling debts? No.
Then, what's happening to him? RICH: Harry He's always felt like God picked on him to play some twisted game with him.
His twin died and he survived.
They were identical.
That messes you up.
RICH: That's always been there, hanging over him.
And that's where it all comes from, Harry's constant need to test his luck.
RICH: - It's like a SURI: - death wish.
FEMALE GAMBLER: I'm here for the game.
Code, please.
6-2 3-9 8 9 Shite! What do you want? I'm here for the game.
There is no game here.
You're mistaken.
I don't think so.
As I said, you've come to the wrong place.
Magdalena told me about it.
Magdalena.
Then she'd have told you this month code? 6-2 3-9 8! Your stake? GAMES MASTER: We must know what YOU are prepared to lose if you are to take part in the game.
Our establishment is a little more unorthodox than others.
BMW 507 roadster.
GAMES MASTER: And we are ready to begin! Place your hand in the opening.
GAMES MASTER: By coming here, you have all agreed to play the game to its conclusion, no matter what form the conclusion takes.
Once the rat has chosen the winner, the game is over.
Come on.
GAMES MASTER: All yours.
Now to redeem your star prize No, wait I've got a kid.
What did he bet? The price of admission was his tongue.
No, no, no.
Listen, my my kid is in danger.
I just need the money to save her and her mum.
I just need to keep her safe.
No.
Give him to me.
You can keep it all.
You can even keep my car if you want.
He's cheated us - They know each other.
- I've never met him before in my life! Who told you to come here? Wait, look! See this? This is a "ming yun" bracelet, from the Tang dynasty.
8th century.
It's worth hundreds of thousands.
- Too late to barter.
- It is endowed with immense luck.
HARRY: Whoever wears it can control their own fortune.
Let me see it.
I'll bet you this bracelet if you let me take him.
GAMES MASTER: Put the bracelet on the table.
It doesn't come off.
I'm telling you.
Believe me, I've tried.
It won't come off.
Well then, it's useless.
If you lose, how could we get the bracelet? Wait.
Anyway you can.
Do it.
Roll a dice.
Whoever wins get the bracelet.
If I win, I walk out of here with him and you never see us again.
You all agree? - Pick a number.
- Doesn't matter.
You choose.
- Five.
- Four.
- Six.
- Two.
Three.
So I'm one.
You could have lost your hand.
And you're knicked.
- No, no way you're no police.
- Yes I am.
What kind of policeman does that? How's that? Oh this old thing? This is junk! No.
No, I've seen you use it.
Why did you kill Caleb Pursey? Eh? I've seen the blackmail photos.
They weren't from Caleb, were they? OK, I I need a lawyer.
SURI: Don Marianski.
Does he ring any bells with you guys in Fraud? We've had our eyes on the Green Dragon since your intel, but I haven't seen this guy come back.
SIMON: He may have just used Lily-Anne Lau's one-time cleaning service.
Or he's close to her and will warn her.
No.
We need more time.
I don't think you have it.
Let me know when you go in.
I wanna be there.
HARRY: Suri, I've got Tim Larson in interview 1.
How did you find him? I went to the worst casino in the world You're confessing to the murder of Caleb Pursey.
TIM: Yes.
You admit walking into the Hoxton Ditch and shooting him with a 9 mm Glock.
Yes.
I did that.
My client hopes that his early confession - and full cooperation in this crime - Why did you kill Caleb Pursey? What? Who told you to do it? No-one.
I killed him because I owed him a large amount of money - and he threatened my family.
- I don't believe you.
- It's true.
- Come on, Tim.
Costs 2,000 Pounds just to get through the door of the Hoxton Ditch casino, so I don't really believe you've ever gambled there.
Not a loser like you.
HARRY: - Did you even know Caleb Pursey? - Yes.
- Yes.
Of course I did.
- It was Lily-Anne Lau, wasn't it? who employed you to kill Caleb Pursey? No.
I think you used to gamble regularly at the Green Dragon casino and lost an enormous amount of money.
Until finally, it was impossible to pay it back.
And that's when Lily-Anne really had you and your family.
She had her sight set on the Hoxton Ditch to expand her money-laundering operation, so she used you to get rid of Caleb Pursey.
You had no choice but to do what she asked.
Can I remind you my client has already confessed to this murder? How much do you owe her? I've got nothing more to say.
Harry, you know you just torn apart his confession? He did not kill for Pursey money.
So what exactly do you have to connect Tim Larson to Lily-Anne Lau? Don Marianski from the Hoxton Ditch, you saw at the Green Dragon.
- It's not enough.
WINTER: - Suri! A word? Then I'll get more.
So you're joining Fraud when they raid the Green Dragon later? Yes.
And I suppose you know that Harry owes Lily-Anne Lau a lot of money? I've heard that rumour.
Interesting line of inquiry from Clayton.
Is there any concrete evidence that you've found that would directly suggest that Lily-Anne is linked to this murder? No.
So you think he might be trying to pin it on her for personal motives? - That's not what I'm saying.
- Did that occur to you? - But it doesn't mean - That he's crooked? Really? I'm always here for you, Suri.
If you need to talk about anything You know that.
Don't let him change you, Suri.
You're too good an officer for that.
I've got to get out of here.
Can't be here anymore where he died.
No, absolutely.
I understand.
I just came to tell you that we found your husband's killer and he's made a full confession.
It's great.
It's a big relief.
So why are you still scared? I'm not scared.
Is it because Lily-Anne's still out there? Controlling everything you do? I don't know who Lily-Anne Lau is.
Of course you don't.
Here's what I think happened.
The club got into money problems.
Caleb used to hang out with gangster types, so he asked for a favour.
But then you both got in way over your heads, how am i doing? And before you knew it, your secret casino became the perfect place for washing Lily-Anne's dirty money.
I made Caleb stand up to them.
Tell them he was gonna shut the casino.
Yeah, but Lily-Anne still had her man in here, eh? She didn't want him to stop.
That's why they killed him.
This is a police raid! Nobody moves! Come on! You're under arrest, madam.
SIMON: Miss Lau, I found this underneath your roulette table.
You know what it is? I've no idea.
What is it? It's a table rigging device.
You found that here? Have you arrested the croupier responsible for introducing this? I'm just incredibly grateful to you, officers You never stop lying, do you? Lily-Anne Lau, I'm arresting you on suspicion of conspiracy to commit fraud and money-laundering offences, under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.
[PHONE RINGING.]
- Hello? KALEEM: - Harry You need to listen to me.
It's about your debt.
Go on It's been called in.
Kaleem? You asked me for proof that Harry Clayton is crooked.
I have CCTV footage of him gambling at my casino the night my father was killed, after he called in Harry's debt.
Yet, detective Clayton led the murder investigation.
Where is the footage? Somewhere safe.
Well, when can we have it? I thought you wanted to help us bring Clayton down.
Yes.
I do.
But not quite yet.
KALEEM: Put some effort into it, for God's sake! You look like you're doing the laundry.
How much does she want? That's not money anymore.
You must return something that belongs to her.
What? Something that was taken from the casino last night.
By your colleagues in Fraud.
A mother of pearl lacquer box that belonged to her father.
I can't do that, it's evidence.
KALEEM: Its contents are valued treasures, Harry, and you owe her.
She has some serious people behind her now, who are very unsentimental in the way they work.
What does that mean, Kaleem? You're a family man.
So, when she's gonna give us this footage? She may want to use it as a bargaining chip with us, now Fraud have her in for money-laundering.
- Is she guilty? ORWELL: - I don't know.
But we may have to make a deal with the devil if we want Clayton.
For the day of their calamity is at hand and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
You're alright, Harry? Oh, hi.
What can I do for you? Yeah, I have a question It's a hangover from the investigation of the Freddie Lau's murder.
Shoot.
How many roulette tables were stacked? Only one.
I'll show you.
- This one here wasn't rigged? SIMON: Just found one device.
Alright? - - - SURI: Harry.
- I thought you'd left for the evening.
- Likewise.
What's that? It's a promissory note.
Tim Larson owed Lily-Anne money: 110,000 Pounds.
I think this is enough to prove that she ordered the hit on Caleb Pursey.
How did you find this? You took this from Fraud's evidence room.
We can nail Lily-Anne with this.
I don't know if I can trust you anymore.
Suri, we're both fighting on the same side.
But the people we're fighting don't play fair so, sometimes, one of us has to fight dirty.
Listen You take it.
You decide what we do with it.
Lily-Anne Lau, I'm further arresting you on suspicion of conspiracy to murder Caleb Pursey.
LILY-ANNE: Where's your partner? - You do not have to say anything.
- I know you're doing this for him.
I'm doing it because you're guilty.
HARRY: Where have you been? I've been busy.
What did you do with Becker's body? EVE: It's safer if you don't know.
What? I'll just accept that? What other choices do you have? What's that? EVE: I told you before that I knew you.
You didn't believe me.
This is my mother's murder-case file.
You were one of the detectives on it.
My mother was Maria Alexandri.
I shouldn't have done this to you.
I'm sorry.
Do they really have to look me in the eye when they kill me? No, I just made that up.
Get some sleep, Harry.
What did he want? A package for the boss.
- I'll take it to Winter.
