Stan Lee's Lucky Man (2016) s01e06 Episode Script
A Twist of Fate
I want you to become a mentor for my outreach program.
A client of mine was an inmate here.
He committed suicide.
Kevin Grey? There's someone out there who has a vested interest in all of this.
They are running it.
- Tim Larson owed Lily-Anne money.
I think this is enough to prove that she ordered the hit.
Lily-Anne Lau, I'm further arresting you on suspicion of conspiracy to murder Caleb Pursey.
You owe her.
What does that mean, Kaleem? You're a family man.
Harry owes Lily-Anne Lau a lot of money.
I've heard that rumour.
A package for the boss.
I'll take it to Winter.
What's that? My mother's murder-case file.
Maria Alexandri.
You were one of the detectives on it.
- - - Original air date: 2016, February 26 Sub by mielb Nice place for a date.
I wanted to show you something.
An illegal cage fight.
It's a fixed fight.
What? See the fighter in the red gloves? His name is Flanagan.
He's gonna go down at the 3rd round.
You see the big man in the blue suit opposite? This is his show.
He fixed this fight.
I want you to go down and see the bookie and put everything you have on Flanagan.
What's the point of fighting if he's gonna take him down? I said I wanted to show you something what that bracelet's capable of.
Don't think Flanagan is gonna last till the 3rd round.
No, he's a good fighter.
Two years ago, he taught me how to fight.
Before he started fighting for this lot.
So you really think the bracelet can change what's happening? Even in sure things, there's an element of chance.
I did that? Get your money.
Forget the money.
I did that! Vincent Lermontov once told me that when you wear the bracelet, there's no such thing as a coincidence.
What does that mean? It's not just about luck.
You start making things happen around you! Yeah, leave the money! You wanted them to see me do that.
Why? To send a message to the boss behind all this.
What? The man that killed your mother? - - - - What did you do with the money? What? The money you won at the Green Dragon casino the night Freddie Lau died.
The money you won with this woman, Eve, at a fixed roulette table.
Suri, I didn't win at a fixed table.
You won 70,000 - two consecutive maximums, on 2 spins of the wheel.
I burnt it.
West 13.
On duty.
OK.
We're on our way.
So, what you're gonna do about that footage? I'm still working that out.
So who is this Eve to you? Just some girl I met at the roulette.
You need to tell me the truth, Harry.
Is that you receiving a bribe from Freddie Lau? No.
That's me winning the money for real.
How am I supposed to believe that? If that's true, why did you burn the money then? Because it belonged to Lau! And that's because I thought that the roulette table was rigged.
I know that whatever the truth is, Winter would want to nail me for it anyway.
Hey.
You're the foreman? Yeah.
Over there.
Jesus! It hadn't been for the rats, he would never have been found.
We demolish this building on Tuesday.
You're gonna have to stop all work until our SOCO's have everything they need.
Deputy Mayor won't like that.
Deputy mayor? The St Pancras metro point is being built here.
Yeah, this's his baby.
Press call on Tuesday.
They're coming to watch 'em blow this place up.
This is Luke Bangura.
18 years old.
Sierra Leonean origin.
His mother came in this morning.
Said she'd listed him as a missing person 14 months ago, but we've only just identified him from his dental records.
The building he was found in had been sealed off for the last 6 months.
I think he was moved there recently.
Just in time to be blown up.
The decomposition has actually been interrupted.
I think he was moved from a predominantly clay soil shallow grave.
There are still samples of the soil on and inside his body.
Most of the vital organs have had large chunks removed- the rats probably, but the left kidney is completely missing.
Completely? I noticed some clean incisions where it used to be.
It would take some time and energy to remove a kidney.
You don't go to this kind of trouble without a good reason.
How come Luke's mother found out about the body so quickly? Don't you know this? According to Kelly Harrington of the Evening Reporter, the body found is another victim of ritual killing in the African community.
A source said the nature of the wounds were consistent with a juju sacrifice.
What source? We're the only people that know about this.
The leak must have come from within MIA's.
You don't know that.
Yeah, who else could prep a journalist so quickly? Come on, let's go see Winter.
That's the deputy mayor! Give them a minute.
Whichever way you want to spin it, there's a crime wave happening on your watch and the media are all over it.
The mayor is seeing the city held hostage by fear.
His city.
Triads slayings in Soho and Shoreditch, murder in Hatton Garden, voodoo mutilations! You see how this plays in the minds of the public? - Yes.
- I want this witchcraft murder nailed, ASAP.
The Metro Point project is a major trial for our mayor.
How much of that did you hear? Frierson's got a loud voice.
He always had.
Even back in the day, when he was made D.
C.
I.
Then what is it, Harry? How did it get leaked? The so-called witchcraft killing I'm investigating and no-one else knows about it.
You really believe the leak came from here? It's come from somewhere! That's sort of the expectations to be carried on those shoulders, Alistair.
- - How can I comfort our sister, Marianne? Fill the hole in our hearts left by her fine young son, Luke, a student of politics, a young man with a sharp inquiring mind and a future that promised great things? What did they do to you? I'm sorry to have to ask you this, but we believe that Luke's kidney was removed by the killer.
Can you shed any light on why this might have happened to him? Are you asking me if I know why someone evil butchered my son? I'm afraid we think this was no ordinary murder.
This talk of juju sacrifice Juju is a colonial word the British press love to bring out when they want to diminish our native culture.
Are the police just going to go along with the same racist stereotype? This is just a savage murder.
It has nothing to do with who we are, or how we live.
Please, I'm sorry.
I apologize if I've offended you.
I've just I've a few more questions, please.
Could you tell us anything about the day that Luke went missing? What he was doing? Where he might have been? It was February 14th, Valentine's.
We were meant to go to the cinema that night.
But first, he was going to give blood at the clinic in Peckham.
He never met me at the cinema.
I never saw him again.
He was gonna give blood? He'd been in touch with someone from a medical aid charity, working in Ebola zones in Sierra Leone.
African Health Union, I think.
They were interested in Luke because of his very rare blood group.
And what was his blood group? He was h/h.
It's sometimes called Bombay blood.
Can I go? I need to prepare the funeral.
Yes, of course! Thank you.
Bombay blood is a variant of the O blood group.
It needs a special test to be detected.
Which is why it didn't show up in the post-mortem.
Only 4 in a million people have it.
Some odds! Ah no! No, no! What's the matter? Our forensics team have been pulled out of the demolition site.
What? Part of the demolition has to go ahead as planned, no further delays.
Winter's just rolled over.
I'm going back there for another look.
You get onto the paper.
Find that journalist, Kelly Harrington.
Hello? Hello? What the hell? Alright, mate? I'm sorry, I can't give up my source.
I just can't.
Kelly, your source knew too much, too quickly.
Your article was online 2 hours after we got to the body.
That's not my problem.
What you're asking is against all journalistic practice.
Ah! Come on, Kelly! It's no bloody Watergate! I've read your copy before.
It's peppered with inaccuracy and prejudice.
I don't need to listen to this.
That's why they chose you to break the story.
What? They needed someone to promote a particular slant to this crime.
Kelly Harrington was only too happy to oblige.
After all, it's what you want your readers to think about our African immigrants.
Who do you know at City Hall? What? Someone at City Hall rang you with the story, yes? You know, I came here without a lawyer, to help with your questioning, not to be harassed by this psycho! You think your gunmen last night sling to City Hall too? Well, someone gave the order to pull our SOCO's out.
Going to scoop lunch, just let me finish.
I thought dad was coming to help us.
He was.
But Dad's really busy with work and he can't get any time off.
Poor dad! He's alright! And Daisy, you know it is just you and me moving in here? Luke's father was a politician back in Freetown.
That's why he took politics.
I used to say Sierra Leone is tugging on Luke's soul.
You said Luke went to give blood at the Sierra Leone Health Agency? Do you remember anyone from the agency contacting you? Yes.
A doctor came to our house once.
I think Luke met him on a Bombay blood on-line forum.
What was the doctor's name? Doctor Marghai.
There's no Dr Marghai registered with the NHS.
What about a charity called African Health Union? Wait! I used to work with that guy, Alan.
I'll catch up with you later.
- Jim Stepton! Long time.
Do you want a tip? - Harry Clayton? - 25 to 1.
Forget her past.
Worth putting some of that police pension on.
Hello.
I take it this isn't a coincidence.
Maria Alexandri, my first case, your last, before you retired you left it unsolved.
I really don't remember it Remember I took some personal leave? My daughter was born 10 weeks prematurely.
That's when Karl Frierson brought you in.
You see, I've been taking another look at it.
And it seems to me that you and Frierson dropped every lead I had uncovered straight down the toilet, till it went cold.
Is that an accusation? No, no, no.
That's an observation.
So tell me, Jim, why did you roll over for Karl Frierson? The race hasn't finished yet, Jim.
Our horse is gonna win.
Every time I followed something, he blocked it.
There was a suspect.
We waited too long.
He disappeared.
Frierson wanted to kill it? Nothing I could prove.
If I were you, I'd let it go, Harry.
He's a very powerful man, and he always gets what he wants.
Forget her past You let a murderer go, Jim.
I did wanna say thank you for the way you've treated me these last few days.
I'll remember it.
And give my regards to your wife and daughter Anna and Daisy, isn't it? Harry? CPS didn't think we had enough evidence to make the charges stick.
But that's shite! We have Lily-Anne's memory stick.
It clearly shows that Tim Larson owed Lily-Anne 110,000 Pounds.
As you know, Tim Larson's still maintaining that he killed Caleb Pursey because he owed him money and Pursey's threatened his family.
He's lying! We need a conviction on this.
And that's what we're gonna get with Tim Larson, not Lily-Anne Lau.
We got into this to go after the bad guys.
Do you remember? So, everything we have to work per today is simple.
It's really easy to grasp.
There's questions of your responsibility and community.
Jake, can you tell me what you think's gonna be the most difficult thing to achieve when you're released? Well, I guess this community thing sounds like a bit of shit.
Harry, it's me.
Still no luck finding anyone who's heard of Marghai.
Call me when you get this, please.
Hey.
No, no, no.
You can't come back here, Harry! Lily-Anne's been released.
But you knew that already.
How would I know that, Harry? Because you are the sewer through which she contacts me.
You know you look a little stressed.
Can I get you a drink? You want some mint tea? That bitch threatened my family.
Now I want you to get her a message from me.
If she ever goes near my family, I will find her and I will finish her.
Harry, you're a detective.
Man of the law.
You know you don't mean that.
Tell her.
Make her understand.
No-one comes near my family! Hi, Billy? Do you remember me? I spoke to you last week.
We were talking about Kevin Grey? Please lady? Leave me alone! I think you know how he died.
Golding.
It was Golding.
See you and Frierson are friends again, Alistair.
Smashing stuff! What are you doing here, Harry? Oh I just wanted the heads-up on the new crime initiative for our city.
Reclaim the neighbourhood.
What does that mean exactly? Means we're not longer on the back foot to crime.
Brilliant! London can sleep easily.
Don't you get tired of playing the idiot? Well, soon I'll get tired.
So why don't you stop? Go save your marriage.
Be a better dad.
Stop gambling.
Do nice things.
Why did you never get married, Alistair? I forgot.
You found the greatest love.
It's always troubled you, hasn't it, Harry? That I draw so much strength from my faith.
Or is it I've found something more to believe in And you so obviously haven't.
Guests! Can we put our hands together for our speaker? The deputy mayor, Karl Frierson.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome and thank you for your presence here, at the launch of my new initiative: Reclaim the neighbourhood.
But first, a little of who I am and what London means to me.
I was a policeman for 20 years before I got very sick.
It was a year ago, February the 15th, and I was in a bed at the Cardwell clinic, dying.
My doctor said that all my options had been exhausted.
What was wrong? Chronic kidney failure.
but, February the 15th was no ordinary day.
Against all odds, all expectations, a donor was found and my life was saved.
And I knew that I'd been given a chance not just to live again but to live in a way that I wanted to live, in the city that I love.
I've spent most of today looking for a Sierra Leonean aid agency called African Health Union? It has a base here.
I'm sorry, I've never heard of it.
And I know nearly all the West African aid agencies around here.
What about a doctor Marghai? You've heard of a doctor Marghai? No.
I've never heard of him.
Is there somewhere else we can talk? It is very important we find him.
He might be involved in a brutal murder of a member of your community.
I think the charity you're looking for no longer exists.
This fact sheet may help.
- Anna.
Harry! I didn't know you were here.
No, I wasn't invited.
I crashed this party.
Harry, this is Nikhail Julian, the governor of White Cross prison.
Nice to meet you.
This is Harry Clayton.
We were just talking about Anna signing up to be a mentor in the prison's outreach program.
Nikhail! The outreach program! Amazing project, incredible results! Glad we backed you on this one.
We know each other, don't we? Yeah! Indeed.
I'm Harry Clayton.
We worked together many years ago.
You were the Senior Investigating Officer on my first case at MIA's.
Right.
It was the murder of Maria Alexandri.
It was never solved.
Afraid I don't remember it.
That way you've done great things since.
And terrific speech by the way! Thank you.
Tell me about Maria Alexandri, your mother.
Every year or so, every time we moved, my mother would tell me the stupid story about us being tortured in the long night of tortures, guardians of a lucky bracelet.
Justifying why we were running again.
And I grew resentful.
What is the torch? You're looking at one.
We're the only ones that can transfer the bracelet from one wearer to the next when they die.
So when did you start believing in it? When I was 18, - I ran away from Ma.
- Really? I had enough of that crazy bullshit.
When I came back, she was in a bad way, delusional.
She kept telling me that our days were numbered.
Within a week, she was murdered just like she told me.
I'm sorry.
But how do you know that the man that killed your mother is the same man that killed Freddie Lau, the same man that wants the bracelet? For the last 3 years, I've been tracking a man called Golding.
- Golding? - I'm certain he ordered my mother's death.
This name is a cover.
I've never been able to find out who he really is.
That's why he was with the diamond thieves.
You'll have him.
Her name is Grace.
She came to this refuge a few weeks back, just after it happened.
She's my cousin.
Did you have an operation to have a kidney removed? Oh no! I'm so sorry.
Can you tell me who did this to you? These are bad people.
They lied to me.
Cheated me.
Did Dr Marghai do this? Marghai, yes! Where is he, Grace? It's a private health clinic.
Corinth Road.
Marghai is only there a few days a month.
Flies in from Freetown.
- Can I help you? I would like to see Dr Marghai, please.
No Dr Marghai here, love.
You've got the wrong clinic.
Please, I need to see him.
I'm desperate.
He has to help me.
I'll see if my manager has any information on this doctor.
- What's his name again? - Marghai.
- - Why are you here? I have a kidney problem.
Where did you hear about our practice? My friend, Grace.
She came here 5 weeks ago.
They want me back here at 9 tonight to see the doctor then he'll decide whether he's treating me tomorrow.
Marghai's in the country? No-one mentioned his name, but they've taken blood from me.
No, this is the place.
He's gonna turn up here tonight.
We need to do this properly through Covert Ops.
I don't feel comfortable winging it like this.
Now, you know how long that's gonna take and they won't let us do it anyway.
Marghai just needs to believe that you want to sell your kidney.
Once I'm in there, I'm in their hands! This might be our only shot at them! Why the hell would you hurry while I've been tracking all this down by myself? I'm withholding evidence that would sink you and you're still sneaking off doing God knows what! You don't have to do this! Damn right, I don't! - - - - - - - - How did you manage on your own? Mix of boarding schools.
My mum and dad left enough money for my guardians to send me away.
It's not a sob story! It's just how it was.
I'm amazed you turned out half-way sane! That's not even the good half! What you're doing up, young lady? It's Saturday.
You need to go back to bed right now, please.
God! Thought you weren't gonna do this.
Someone targeted Luke's kidney and used Marghai to get it.
This may be our only chance to find out who.
Thank you.
Call you as soon as I set eyes on Marghai.
Take off your clothes and put on that gown.
But I'm just here to talk to the doctor today.
He needs to examine you.
Put on that gown.
Daisy? I went to your flat but you weren't there.
What? Where are you? You don't love me anymore! That's not true, darling! Just where are you now? Hi! This is Harry Clayton Why aren't you undressed? The doctor is here.
Don't be afraid.
You're in very good hands.
You've just abandoned us.
You're just letting us go! Tell me where are you now? I don't know! Think I'm at the bus outside your house.
- What number? - The 29.
Its stop's at Turnpike lane.
Where are you Daisy? I'm outside a pub.
It's called the Prince of Wales.
Stay there.
Someone will come and get you soon.
Prince of Wales pub.
Stay there, Daisy.
Dad, I'm scared.
Who are you calling? My sister.
No phones here! I don't want an operation now.
I thought this was just a check-up! You're very lucky.
I fly to Anna? I know where Daisy is.
Thank God! Where is she? Where? She got on a number 29 bus.
She got out at Turnpike Lane.
She's outside the Prince of Wales pub.
Turnpike Lane I'm nearby.
I'll be there in 10.
Get there as quick as you can.
Call me the minute you have her, OK? The Prince of Wales pub.
Oh Suri! Check that.
It's a courier.
Scalpel.
Police! Suri! Suri! Oh my god! My god! Oh my god! Suri ! Daisy! Daisy! Alright! - I'll take it from here.
- OK, sir.
In! You're proud of yourself, Dr Marghai? You tricked Luke Bangura into your clinic, then operated on him.
You then let him die on the table like an animal! And all for a single kidney for Karl Frierson.
That's right! I know Luke's kidney is inside Frierson! Jesus Christ! It was Frierson, wasn't it? Wasn't it? Answer me, Marghai! Stop! Karl Frierson has h/h blood.
Luke's kidney was for him, eh? Yeh-Yes! It was for Frierson.
I thought it was just the kidney they wanted but when I was operating, his men pulled a gun on me and make me kill him.
I like to think good London is a city built by dreamers.
The people who believe in dreams.
And our iconic buildings are not only part of our skyline, they're part of our collective identity as London is.
A soon as I press this button, we'll start work on another dream, the Metro Point project.
Alright! Everybody ready? Here it goes! What can I do for you, detective? I want you to come in for questioning.
What about? It's in connection with the murder of Luke Bangura.
You finish up here.
I'll see you downstairs.
In your speech at City Hall, you said that just over a year ago, you were dying.
You needed a kidney transplant, is that right? That's right.
But on February the 15th at the Cardwell clinic, you received, yes? Yes.
You have a very rare blood type, h/h.
And only an h/h kidney would do.
On the 14th of February last year, a young man called Luke Bangura went missing.
He also has h/h blood.
Well, he did.
Two days ago, we found Luke's body.
And? Luke's kidney had been removed by Dr Marghai, who we now have in custody.
That's a hell of a coincidence, isn't it? You needing an h/h kidney and one being removed from Luke's body the day before your operation? Am I missing something here? My kidney came from France.
We have all the paperwork.
So you don't deny being h/h.
Why is my client being interrogated about his blood type? It must have been a terrible situation for you, sir, knowing that you're getting closer and closer to death, waiting for a miracle until you have no choice but to engineer one yourself.
You are delusional and when this farce is over, I will make it my personal mission to have you removed from duty.
You found Luke Bangura through an h/h on-line forum, didn't you? Unless you intend to charge my client, I'm advising him not to respond.
Why did you have the body moved, Karl? Because in a shallow grave, it could still be discovered.
But under thousands of tons of rubble, it's destroyed forever.
- That's enough! - Excuse me? Sorry Karl, there's been a misunderstanding.
There's no need for you to be here.
I'm in the middle of an interview here.
No, you're not.
My office, detective Clayton! - What? - Now, Clayton! Here! I have a strong case.
I have Dr Marghai! Who has just revealed that you forced a confession out of him, which he has now totally recanted! How can he? He almost killed Suri! Listen, I know Frierson did this.
How? What evidence do you have? Do you have any idea what you've just done? This man controls our budget.
He guides our policy.
And now he thinks I sent you after him without a single shred of evidence! Listen Alistair, I know Frierson has been leaning on you, but he is rotten! You should listen to yourself, Harry.
Ah, do what you have to do! You had no authority to risk Suri's life like that.
You're not in control anymore.
Did you get him? Yes.
Good! == Addicted.
com ==
A client of mine was an inmate here.
He committed suicide.
Kevin Grey? There's someone out there who has a vested interest in all of this.
They are running it.
- Tim Larson owed Lily-Anne money.
I think this is enough to prove that she ordered the hit.
Lily-Anne Lau, I'm further arresting you on suspicion of conspiracy to murder Caleb Pursey.
You owe her.
What does that mean, Kaleem? You're a family man.
Harry owes Lily-Anne Lau a lot of money.
I've heard that rumour.
A package for the boss.
I'll take it to Winter.
What's that? My mother's murder-case file.
Maria Alexandri.
You were one of the detectives on it.
- - - Original air date: 2016, February 26 Sub by mielb Nice place for a date.
I wanted to show you something.

I burnt it.
West 13.

OK.
We're on our way.
So, what you're gonna do about that footage? I'm still working that out.
So who is this Eve to you? Just some girl I met at the roulette.
You need to tell me the truth, Harry.
Is that you receiving a bribe from Freddie Lau? No.
That's me winning the money for real.
How am I supposed to believe that? If that's true, why did you burn the money then? Because it belonged to Lau! And that's because I thought that the roulette table was rigged.

Fill the hole in our hearts left by her fine young son, Luke, a student of politics, a young man with a sharp inquiring mind and a future that promised great things? What did they do to you? I'm sorry to have to ask you this, but we believe that Luke's kidney was removed by the killer.
Can you shed any light on why this might have happened to him? Are you asking me if I know why someone evil butchered my son? I'm afraid we think this was no ordinary murder.
This talk of juju sacrifice Juju is a colonial word the British press love to bring out when they want to diminish our native culture.
Are the police just going to go along with the same racist stereotype? This is just a savage murder.
It has nothing to do with who we are, or how we live.
Please, I'm sorry.
I apologize if I've offended you.
I've just I've a few more questions, please.
Could you tell us anything about the day that Luke went missing? What he was doing? Where he might have been? It was February 14th, Valentine's.
We were meant to go to the cinema that night.
But first, he was going to give blood at the clinic in Peckham.
He never met me at the cinema.
I never saw him again.
He was gonna give blood? He'd been in touch with someone from a medical aid charity, working in Ebola zones in Sierra Leone.
African Health Union, I think.
They were interested in Luke because of his very rare blood group.
And what was his blood group? He was h/h.
It's sometimes called Bombay blood.
Can I go? I need to prepare the funeral.
Yes, of course! Thank you.
Bombay blood is a variant of the O blood group.
It needs a special test to be detected.
Which is why it didn't show up in the post-mortem.
Only 4 in a million people have it.
Some odds! Ah no! No, no! What's the matter? Our forensics team have been pulled out of the demolition site.
What? Part of the demolition has to go ahead as planned, no further delays.
Winter's just rolled over.
I'm going back there for another look.
You get onto the paper.
Find that journalist, Kelly Harrington.
Hello? Hello? What the hell? Alright, mate? I'm sorry, I can't give up my source.
I just can't.
Kelly, your source knew too much, too quickly.
Your article was online 2 hours after we got to the body.
That's not my problem.
What you're asking is against all journalistic practice.
Ah! Come on, Kelly! It's no bloody Watergate! I've read your copy before.
It's peppered with inaccuracy and prejudice.
I don't need to listen to this.
That's why they chose you to break the story.
What? They needed someone to promote a particular slant to this crime.
Kelly Harrington was only too happy to oblige.
After all, it's what you want your readers to think about our African immigrants.
Who do you know at City Hall? What? Someone at City Hall rang you with the story, yes? You know, I came here without a lawyer, to help with your questioning, not to be harassed by this psycho! You think your gunmen last night sling to City Hall too? Well, someone gave the order to pull our SOCO's out.
Going to scoop lunch, just let me finish.
I thought dad was coming to help us.
He was.
But Dad's really busy with work and he can't get any time off.
Poor dad! He's alright! And Daisy, you know it is just you and me moving in here? Luke's father was a politician back in Freetown.
That's why he took politics.
I used to say Sierra Leone is tugging on Luke's soul.
You said Luke went to give blood at the Sierra Leone Health Agency? Do you remember anyone from the agency contacting you? Yes.
A doctor came to our house once.
I think Luke met him on a Bombay blood on-line forum.
What was the doctor's name? Doctor Marghai.
There's no Dr Marghai registered with the NHS.
What about a charity called African Health Union? Wait! I used to work with that guy, Alan.
I'll catch up with you later.
- Jim Stepton! Long time.
Do you want a tip? - Harry Clayton? - 25 to 1.
Forget her past.
Worth putting some of that police pension on.
Hello.
I take it this isn't a coincidence.
Maria Alexandri, my first case, your last, before you retired you left it unsolved.
I really don't remember it Remember I took some personal leave? My daughter was born 10 weeks prematurely.
That's when Karl Frierson brought you in.
You see, I've been taking another look at it.
And it seems to me that you and Frierson dropped every lead I had uncovered straight down the toilet, till it went cold.
Is that an accusation? No, no, no.
That's an observation.
So tell me, Jim, why did you roll over for Karl Frierson? The race hasn't finished yet, Jim.
Our horse is gonna win.
Every time I followed something, he blocked it.
There was a suspect.
We waited too long.
He disappeared.
Frierson wanted to kill it? Nothing I could prove.
If I were you, I'd let it go, Harry.
He's a very powerful man, and he always gets what he wants.
Forget her past You let a murderer go, Jim.
I did wanna say thank you for the way you've treated me these last few days.
I'll remember it.
And give my regards to your wife and daughter Anna and Daisy, isn't it? Harry? CPS didn't think we had enough evidence to make the charges stick.
But that's shite! We have Lily-Anne's memory stick.
It clearly shows that Tim Larson owed Lily-Anne 110,000 Pounds.
As you know, Tim Larson's still maintaining that he killed Caleb Pursey because he owed him money and Pursey's threatened his family.
He's lying! We need a conviction on this.
And that's what we're gonna get with Tim Larson, not Lily-Anne Lau.
We got into this to go after the bad guys.
Do you remember? So, everything we have to work per today is simple.
It's really easy to grasp.
There's questions of your responsibility and community.
Jake, can you tell me what you think's gonna be the most difficult thing to achieve when you're released? Well, I guess this community thing sounds like a bit of shit.
Harry, it's me.
Still no luck finding anyone who's heard of Marghai.
Call me when you get this, please.
Hey.
No, no, no.
You can't come back here, Harry! Lily-Anne's been released.
But you knew that already.
How would I know that, Harry? Because you are the sewer through which she contacts me.
You know you look a little stressed.
Can I get you a drink? You want some mint tea? That bitch threatened my family.
Now I want you to get her a message from me.
If she ever goes near my family, I will find her and I will finish her.
Harry, you're a detective.
Man of the law.
You know you don't mean that.
Tell her.
Make her understand.
No-one comes near my family! Hi, Billy? Do you remember me? I spoke to you last week.
We were talking about Kevin Grey? Please lady? Leave me alone! I think you know how he died.
Golding.
It was Golding.
See you and Frierson are friends again, Alistair.
Smashing stuff! What are you doing here, Harry? Oh I just wanted the heads-up on the new crime initiative for our city.
Reclaim the neighbourhood.
What does that mean exactly? Means we're not longer on the back foot to crime.
Brilliant! London can sleep easily.
Don't you get tired of playing the idiot? Well, soon I'll get tired.
So why don't you stop? Go save your marriage.
Be a better dad.
Stop gambling.
Do nice things.
Why did you never get married, Alistair? I forgot.
You found the greatest love.
It's always troubled you, hasn't it, Harry? That I draw so much strength from my faith.
Or is it I've found something more to believe in And you so obviously haven't.
Guests! Can we put our hands together for our speaker? The deputy mayor, Karl Frierson.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome and thank you for your presence here, at the launch of my new initiative: Reclaim the neighbourhood.
But first, a little of who I am and what London means to me.
I was a policeman for 20 years before I got very sick.
It was a year ago, February the 15th, and I was in a bed at the Cardwell clinic, dying.
My doctor said that all my options had been exhausted.
What was wrong? Chronic kidney failure.
but, February the 15th was no ordinary day.
Against all odds, all expectations, a donor was found and my life was saved.
And I knew that I'd been given a chance not just to live again but to live in a way that I wanted to live, in the city that I love.
I've spent most of today looking for a Sierra Leonean aid agency called African Health Union? It has a base here.
I'm sorry, I've never heard of it.
And I know nearly all the West African aid agencies around here.
What about a doctor Marghai? You've heard of a doctor Marghai? No.
I've never heard of him.
Is there somewhere else we can talk? It is very important we find him.
He might be involved in a brutal murder of a member of your community.
I think the charity you're looking for no longer exists.
This fact sheet may help.
- Anna.
Harry! I didn't know you were here.
No, I wasn't invited.
I crashed this party.
Harry, this is Nikhail Julian, the governor of White Cross prison.
Nice to meet you.
This is Harry Clayton.
We were just talking about Anna signing up to be a mentor in the prison's outreach program.
Nikhail! The outreach program! Amazing project, incredible results! Glad we backed you on this one.
We know each other, don't we? Yeah! Indeed.
I'm Harry Clayton.
We worked together many years ago.
You were the Senior Investigating Officer on my first case at MIA's.
Right.
It was the murder of Maria Alexandri.
It was never solved.
Afraid I don't remember it.
That way you've done great things since.
And terrific speech by the way! Thank you.
Tell me about Maria Alexandri, your mother.
Every year or so, every time we moved, my mother would tell me the stupid story about us being tortured in the long night of tortures, guardians of a lucky bracelet.
Justifying why we were running again.
And I grew resentful.
What is the torch? You're looking at one.
We're the only ones that can transfer the bracelet from one wearer to the next when they die.
So when did you start believing in it? When I was 18, - I ran away from Ma.
- Really? I had enough of that crazy bullshit.
When I came back, she was in a bad way, delusional.
She kept telling me that our days were numbered.
Within a week, she was murdered just like she told me.
I'm sorry.
But how do you know that the man that killed your mother is the same man that killed Freddie Lau, the same man that wants the bracelet? For the last 3 years, I've been tracking a man called Golding.
- Golding? - I'm certain he ordered my mother's death.
This name is a cover.
I've never been able to find out who he really is.
That's why he was with the diamond thieves.
You'll have him.
Her name is Grace.
She came to this refuge a few weeks back, just after it happened.
She's my cousin.
Did you have an operation to have a kidney removed? Oh no! I'm so sorry.
Can you tell me who did this to you? These are bad people.
They lied to me.
Cheated me.
Did Dr Marghai do this? Marghai, yes! Where is he, Grace? It's a private health clinic.
Corinth Road.
Marghai is only there a few days a month.
Flies in from Freetown.
- Can I help you? I would like to see Dr Marghai, please.
No Dr Marghai here, love.
You've got the wrong clinic.
Please, I need to see him.
I'm desperate.
He has to help me.
I'll see if my manager has any information on this doctor.
- What's his name again? - Marghai.
- - Why are you here? I have a kidney problem.
Where did you hear about our practice? My friend, Grace.
She came here 5 weeks ago.
They want me back here at 9 tonight to see the doctor then he'll decide whether he's treating me tomorrow.
Marghai's in the country? No-one mentioned his name, but they've taken blood from me.
No, this is the place.
He's gonna turn up here tonight.
We need to do this properly through Covert Ops.
I don't feel comfortable winging it like this.
Now, you know how long that's gonna take and they won't let us do it anyway.
Marghai just needs to believe that you want to sell your kidney.
Once I'm in there, I'm in their hands! This might be our only shot at them! Why the hell would you hurry while I've been tracking all this down by myself? I'm withholding evidence that would sink you and you're still sneaking off doing God knows what! You don't have to do this! Damn right, I don't! - - - - - - - - How did you manage on your own? Mix of boarding schools.
My mum and dad left enough money for my guardians to send me away.
It's not a sob story! It's just how it was.
I'm amazed you turned out half-way sane! That's not even the good half! What you're doing up, young lady? It's Saturday.
You need to go back to bed right now, please.
God! Thought you weren't gonna do this.
Someone targeted Luke's kidney and used Marghai to get it.
This may be our only chance to find out who.
Thank you.
Call you as soon as I set eyes on Marghai.
Take off your clothes and put on that gown.
But I'm just here to talk to the doctor today.
He needs to examine you.
Put on that gown.
Daisy? I went to your flat but you weren't there.
What? Where are you? You don't love me anymore! That's not true, darling! Just where are you now? Hi! This is Harry Clayton Why aren't you undressed? The doctor is here.
Don't be afraid.
You're in very good hands.
You've just abandoned us.
You're just letting us go! Tell me where are you now? I don't know! Think I'm at the bus outside your house.
- What number? - The 29.
Its stop's at Turnpike lane.
Where are you Daisy? I'm outside a pub.
It's called the Prince of Wales.
Stay there.
Someone will come and get you soon.
Prince of Wales pub.
Stay there, Daisy.
Dad, I'm scared.
Who are you calling? My sister.
No phones here! I don't want an operation now.
I thought this was just a check-up! You're very lucky.
I fly to Anna? I know where Daisy is.
Thank God! Where is she? Where? She got on a number 29 bus.
She got out at Turnpike Lane.
She's outside the Prince of Wales pub.
Turnpike Lane I'm nearby.
I'll be there in 10.
Get there as quick as you can.
Call me the minute you have her, OK? The Prince of Wales pub.
Oh Suri! Check that.
It's a courier.
Scalpel.
Police! Suri! Suri! Oh my god! My god! Oh my god! Suri ! Daisy! Daisy! Alright! - I'll take it from here.
- OK, sir.
In! You're proud of yourself, Dr Marghai? You tricked Luke Bangura into your clinic, then operated on him.
You then let him die on the table like an animal! And all for a single kidney for Karl Frierson.
That's right! I know Luke's kidney is inside Frierson! Jesus Christ! It was Frierson, wasn't it? Wasn't it? Answer me, Marghai! Stop! Karl Frierson has h/h blood.
Luke's kidney was for him, eh? Yeh-Yes! It was for Frierson.
I thought it was just the kidney they wanted but when I was operating, his men pulled a gun on me and make me kill him.
I like to think good London is a city built by dreamers.
The people who believe in dreams.
And our iconic buildings are not only part of our skyline, they're part of our collective identity as London is.
A soon as I press this button, we'll start work on another dream, the Metro Point project.
Alright! Everybody ready? Here it goes! What can I do for you, detective? I want you to come in for questioning.
What about? It's in connection with the murder of Luke Bangura.
You finish up here.
I'll see you downstairs.
In your speech at City Hall, you said that just over a year ago, you were dying.
You needed a kidney transplant, is that right? That's right.
But on February the 15th at the Cardwell clinic, you received, yes? Yes.
You have a very rare blood type, h/h.
And only an h/h kidney would do.
On the 14th of February last year, a young man called Luke Bangura went missing.
He also has h/h blood.
Well, he did.
Two days ago, we found Luke's body.
And? Luke's kidney had been removed by Dr Marghai, who we now have in custody.
That's a hell of a coincidence, isn't it? You needing an h/h kidney and one being removed from Luke's body the day before your operation? Am I missing something here? My kidney came from France.
We have all the paperwork.
So you don't deny being h/h.
Why is my client being interrogated about his blood type? It must have been a terrible situation for you, sir, knowing that you're getting closer and closer to death, waiting for a miracle until you have no choice but to engineer one yourself.
You are delusional and when this farce is over, I will make it my personal mission to have you removed from duty.
You found Luke Bangura through an h/h on-line forum, didn't you? Unless you intend to charge my client, I'm advising him not to respond.
Why did you have the body moved, Karl? Because in a shallow grave, it could still be discovered.
But under thousands of tons of rubble, it's destroyed forever.
- That's enough! - Excuse me? Sorry Karl, there's been a misunderstanding.
There's no need for you to be here.
I'm in the middle of an interview here.
No, you're not.
My office, detective Clayton! - What? - Now, Clayton! Here! I have a strong case.
I have Dr Marghai! Who has just revealed that you forced a confession out of him, which he has now totally recanted! How can he? He almost killed Suri! Listen, I know Frierson did this.
How? What evidence do you have? Do you have any idea what you've just done? This man controls our budget.
He guides our policy.
And now he thinks I sent you after him without a single shred of evidence! Listen Alistair, I know Frierson has been leaning on you, but he is rotten! You should listen to yourself, Harry.
Ah, do what you have to do! You had no authority to risk Suri's life like that.
You're not in control anymore.
Did you get him? Yes.
Good! == Addicted.
