The Gold (2023) s02e04 Episode Script

1
How close are you to nicking these
two? A few days, maybe a week.
Two bodies have been
found off Fort Lauderdale.
Last seen with a man
called Scott Errico,
who has links to
organised crime.
Are you part of this
insanity, Douglas?
The returns are hard
to ignore, Logan.
We had a whole plan, Sarah, a
whole life, and then you left me
for some mystery man, and
knocked me for bloody six!
I left you for Logan.
Baxter's running.
So is his mate.
Nick them.
Miller's running, sir.
If he gets away now,
he's got the money
to stay gone forever.
ITV are planning a documentary
on Palmer in Tenerife.
From Russia with love.
We are partners now with
your business. 50-50.
Hello? Hello, John.
I need a bit of help.
What do you want?
Your first interview with
a western journalist.
Western journalists
call me drug dealer.
You ARE a drug dealer.
No drugs, no guns.
No guns, no freedom.
I have seen many men like you.
At the beginning, it's simple.
You want freedom, or
justice, or independence.
But along the way, you
get fame, money, power.
Eventually you get
enough of those things
to forget what you
wanted at the beginning.
We need international
recognition.
That means I need to
send envoys to the west.
If you want to speak to
me, then I want visas.
I'm a journalist,
not a diplomat.
Then you have come all
this way for nothing.
I won't leave
without an interview.
Then you won't leave.
Six men break into a
warehouse at Heathrow
to steal three tonnes of gold, and
all these years and all this money
later, you go to Heathrow
and shut down the airport.
Some might call that irony.
I prefer gross incompetence.
Forget the six men
and forget the gold.
The Brink's-Mat investigation is
now about the largest criminal
fortune in British history, and
about us taking it from them.
We seized £500,000 at Heathrow.
Once it's gone through the
courts, that money is yours, sir.
Do spend it wisely.
How?
The new Drug Trafficking
Offences Act.
Any criminal proceeds with
a provable link to drugs
can be seized by the
investigatory body.
Now, one of Miller's network
is wanted on drugs charges,
so when I find Miller's money,
I can seize it on that basis.
Along with him.
Equally, when we
bring down Palmer,
if I find one penny of drugs
money within John Palmer's
money laundering operation,
I can take everything he has.
That's tens of
millions of pounds.
Every penny that's being spent
on the Brink's-Mat investigation
and more. The biggest financial
seizure in British policing history.
The kind of result that could
reinstate the reputation
of a police force
beset by corruption.
And the kind of result
that can earn knighthoods,
for those that
covet such things.
And the press?
I'll handle the press.
I believe you're looking to film
a documentary on John Palmer.
Being stonewalled by
the Yard is one thing.
You applying personal
pressure is quite another.
I know this is unusual, Mr
Jarrett, but I'll help you get him.
Why?
Because you'll help us get him.
My concern is you
haven't got to him yet.
He's careful.
He's careful, and he's clever,
but he's not without weakness.
So how might we get to him?
Use a woman. And make it big.
For you.
I need a phone.
Come home, Tina.
England needs you.
It's not a great time, Henry.
Yes, sorry to interrupt
your little sojourn,
but we have an in
on John Palmer.
Undercover documentary,
prime time. Palmer?
He was Brink's-Mat, wasn't he?
He was, but he's a lot
more interesting now.
All right, Kenny?
How was the flight?
I told them to look after you.
So what's happened, Kenny?
Eh?
You've not been out long.
You can't have got yourself
into bother this fast, surely.
This is nice, John.
Your house.
Your plane.
Your life.
Oh, I've got my crosses to bear,
don't you worry about that.
Oh, yeah, I'm sure you do, yeah.
Could have been a lot
worse, though, couldn't it?
For you, anyway.
I, er
I did my time.
So where you headed, Kenny?
My plane can get you
halfway round the world.
I think I'm going to stay here.
Oh, yeah? Yeah. I
thought it, erm
..might be fun to spend a
bit of time with a mate.
Cos we're mates, aren't we?
Course we are.
Yeah.
More than that, really.
Partners.
I've got to get to work, Kenny.
Well, you're an
important man, John.
Yeah, I'll drop you in town.
Plenty of decent boozers.
No, I'm fine here.
Right.
OK.
I mean, do you want me to
stick around for a bit?
No, no. Best you go and
look after your millions.
Best for both of us.
I imagine this
feels like the end.
But this isn't the end.
When you do get to the end,
you'll look back and you'll think,
"They were good times,
talking to those coppers.
"I wish I could
go back to that."
You're in a conspiracy
with dangerous people
who will be concerned that
you'll reveal that conspiracy.
They'll do you in, mate,
is what he's saying.
Unless we offer you protection.
But protection must be earned.
I appreciate the clarity, gentlemen,
so let me offer a little of my own.
You have no evidence
against me, and in
..11 hours' time, you have
to let me go, at which point,
I'll demand a written apology and
safe passage to the Isle of Man.
Safe passage? From
what, pirates?
You know, the Isle of
Man doesn't offer much.
I once ordered a martini
in a pub over there,
and the landlord came
at me with a poker.
But the Isle of Man
does offer something
to people like me, doing the kind
of things you perhaps imagine I do.
I don't need your protection.
I have all the
protection I require.
Where's Miller's money?
And where is he?
Who's Miller?
You registered front
companies for him
to launder proceeds from
the Brink's-Mat robbery.
Ah, Brink's-Mat. How
are you doing with that?
Better now you're here.
Oh, I disagree. I
think in reaching me,
you have reached the very
limits of your power.
He's a belter, this one.
Your jurisdiction ends at borders,
but money doesn't respect borders.
If you take on money of this
nature, you are doomed to be forever
stuck behind a fence, watching
it slip away over the horizon.
We have one thing on our side.
What's that?
11 hours.
PHONE RINGS
Hello?
Hello?
Is that you, John?
John?
I'm not sure you
should be doing that.
I ain't coming back here.
We'll take it with us.
This island has incredibly strict
financial confidentiality laws.
The Guvnor and Lundy will break
him, then he'll tell us what he has.
We're just getting a head start.
You know it won't be in there.
Money laundering
is about movement.
If Miller's money was here,
then it's not here any more.
All we can look for is a
suggestion as to where it's gone.
When did you become the expert?
I'm interested in this stuff.
And I've learnt enough to know
that, whatever Baxter gives up,
we're only at the
start of something.
And I reckon
..this might be
where it goes next.
I wonder what Isle of Man police
would say about illegal entry.
Isle of Man police are being very
helpful, which is good news for you.
They'll agree to reduced
charges, open prison,
and no company director ban.
If you tell us where
Miller's money is,
which I suspect means
telling us about this
and the people behind it.
I can't.
I hope this isn't
loyalty, Douglas.
The world you're in, this world,
is not the place for loyalty.
They'd give you up in a
bloody heartbeat, mate.
We're going to charge you,
which means we can choose to
give you police bail or to put
you on remand, and right now
It's remand.
Sorry, I couldn't take the suspense.
It's remand. In the Scrubs.
Last time I enjoyed the
hospitality of Her Majesty,
I worked in the library, which
was heavy on Erle Stanley Gardner
but had a certain charm.
This would be different.
Errico's in custody.
And he needs a cellmate.
There's only one person behind
this, and he'd only speak to me.
Then you'd best go speak to him.
Where is everyone?
They're not back
from the beaches.
But you have a visitor.
Can I help you?
I thought you could.
Now I'm not so sure.
Sorry?
I was told you
could clean money.
Who told you that?
I was told you could clean
a lot of money, Mr Palmer.
Then I arrive on Tenerife and
discover you are a humble hotelier.
They're time-shares.
Who told you that?
People in my world.
What world's that, then?
The Old Bill?
SHE CHUCKLES
Quite the opposite.
I help people who have a lot
of money, and are willing
to have a little less money
in order to keep that money.
It is a small community, and
in that community, people talk.
About a man in Tenerife
building a reputation.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
But if you fancy a time-share,
do take a brochure.
I know you're working
for the Russians.
I imagine it can't be
without its challenges.
I'm just a kid from Solihull,
love. I don't know no Russians.
This is simpler.
One transaction.
I've got a busy day.
$100 million.
From where?
Burma.
I could tell you some
bollocks about tax evasion,
or the looting of a
regime, but I won't.
The money is the proceeds
of the heroin trade.
It will be wired to you
through a Singaporean Bank.
You clean it, you send $80
million to Switzerland.
$20 million commission,
and not a Russian in sight.
This is Han-So.
He's one of the largest heroin
traffickers in the world.
And in two days' time, he
will be at the Ritz in London.
I'm afraid I can't help you.
That's not your answer.
If you don't come to
the Ritz to meet him,
that's your answer, and we'll give
the 20 million to someone else.
All right, Kenny?
It's Dave.
Mate of Barry's. Yeah, we
played golf at West Kingsdown.
Yeah, you sold me a
couple of watches which,
well, to be fair, Kenny, barely
lasted the journey home
Yeah, you all right, Dave?
Yeah, you see it all,
mate, you see it all.
Yeah, well, er, have
a good one, yeah?
You on holiday,
then, eh? Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, well, fair enough.
You deserve one, don't you,
after a stretch like that?
Here, do you want a beer? No.
Yeah, well, all right,
mate, I'll tell
I'll tell Barry you were
asking for him, yeah?
No, you won't.
You won't tell Barry nothing.
You won't tell no-one nothing.
Because if I find out that you
told Barry, or your missus,
or your fucking dog,
that you saw me here,
then that ain't going to
work out well for you, Dave.
That ain't going to
work out well at all.
OK? Yeah.
No, no, I ain't seen you, Kenny.
No.
No, you ain't. Yeah.
I need a bit of
time off from this.
The island's quiet. My
team are struggling.
They're not bringing in punters,
so there's no money in
the system to hide yours.
You clean our money,
you send it on.
If you can't clean our money,
you send your own money on.
Whatever happens, you send
us money every week forever.
If you have problems,
give them to me.
I make them go away.
I'll bear that in mind.
The end is coming, Senor Palmer.
Got myself out of
worse than this.
You need money for the Russians,
but you have no money coming in.
There are some tourists asking
where their apartments are,
and some are asking
for their money back.
I've got the money
for all of them.
This time.
Then they will all come
back again and again.
I could sell up.
Who will buy a development
that has been sold twice over?
The Russians.
If the Russians want
it, they will take it.
They are not your way out.
There is no way out.
There might be.
There's someone else.
They want me to
clean $100 million.
One off.
We take 20 million and get
the fuck off this island.
Could you do it?
I would be creating a mirage
that would last a few days.
No more.
Yeah, you can get a long
way from here in a few days.
$5 million.
You what? For me.
Jesus Christ, kid, what
would you do with $5 million?
Wait outside.
I wait here now.
OK.
What's going on, Kenny?
Do you remember when I came to
you with that first bar of gold?
Course I do.
I thought it was going to
change our lives, that.
Change who we were,
change who we could be.
But you knew that was
bollocks, didn't you?
Yeah, you looked at that gold,
and you didn't see none of that.
You just saw money.
And you were right.
Yeah, well, money
brings its own problems.
Wish I had problems like that.
What's going on?
I'm on the run, John.
From what?
It don't matter what
I'm running from.
What matters is
staying ahead of it.
And that ain't happening here.
The amount of English
on this island,
I may as well be in bloody Kent.
Yeah, that's true.
I need to go somewhere quiet.
I can help with that.
And I need enough
dough to stay there.
Because you don't want me
coming back here, do you?
Every time I need a little bit
more of what you got from the gold.
What I've got here didn't
come from the gold.
Everything comes
from the gold, John.
Always will.
And you'd do well
to remember that.
Because you see this, this life?
It's too big.
It's too flash.
They'll be coming for you, John.
Maybe.
But right now, it sounds
like they're coming for you.
Keep your jackets on.
You're going to the British
Virgin Islands. Where?!
You'll co-ordinate with the
DEA, and use Baxter to get to
a Logan Campbell, who has
control of Miller's money.
Lundy will explain
the rest on the plane.
No, I won't be with them,
sir. I've got to find Miller.
You'll get to Miller
through the money.
Come on, Guv.
The quicker you find the money,
the quicker you'll find Miller.
Take a wire, and keep
a close eye on Baxter.
He's about as weak as a
co-operating witness gets,
and I don't think he's fully
decided whose side he's on.
There you go, Kenny.
Viktor will get
you to the plane.
Good luck, mate.
You know the difference
between us, John?
We're both on the run
..but only I know it.
I ain't sitting beside
Baxter on the plane,
I'll tell you that for free.
Fucking hell!
And what about the wire?
Borrow it from Flying Squad?
Fine, I'll give them a call. Just
don't tell them what it's for.
Here we are again.
Me and all you nighthawks.
Well, you know, if we can't get you
home, we can sure get you drunk.
Yeah! There you go.
I knew a man, Bojangles
And he danced for you
In worn-out shoes
Silver hair and ragged
shirt and baggy pants
He would do the
old soft shoe ♪
From the guy at the bar.
Thank you, sir.
He could jump so high
Jump so high
Then lightly touched down ♪
What's your most
expensive vodka?
This, I guess.
Jesus.
Well, we've got a
whole lot of tequila.
I bet. Large vodka, no ice.
I'll get that.
No, you won't.
Why not?
Because I'm trapped
in Arizona airport,
and there's not many things
that could make that worse,
but being hit on by a guy in a
sweater like that might just do it.
It's cashmere.
Sure it is, honey.
This is demeaning.
Imagine what it's like for us.
The problem when
people wear a wire
is that all they think about
is that they're wearing a wire.
You need to put
it out your mind.
And how might one do that?
Act normal.
Take your time.
Don't try and get him to
confess right off the bat.
What if it makes a noise?
It's a microphone, mate. It's not
going to start playing Radio 2.
Right, then. I'll go
and see the Americans.
Baxter, go to the toilet
before we activate the wire.
We don't get paid enough
to listen to that.
You should have contacted
me before you left London.
I have an active operation.
With all respect, we've
nicked Errico for you,
and we're here with an
informant to take out Campbell.
What have you
got? Jurisdiction.
We'll get to the
paperwork later.
You don't have to.
I can authorise this as
a joint DEA operation.
You just need to take
me along for the ride.
Fine.
This Campbell, you haven't
got to anyone around him?
I'm working on that.
Today?
Today.
Why the rush?
Why the delay?
We go to the town hall, pick
up a marriage certificate,
I have it witnessed, and
then the admin's done
and we can plan the party.
The guy in your
office - who was he?
He told me that he was the finance
director of a construction company.
I
I've recently
discovered that he
..is a drug trafficker, which was a
somewhat disappointing revelation.
You launder money
for drug traffickers?
No.
You do.
Your Government's policies
attract two types of people -
tax dodgers and criminals.
Then you ask people like
me to tell them apart.
And sometimes, the crooks
slip through the nets.
How much?
How much of this, how much of
you, is built on drug money?
Take that school that
I'm building for you.
Maybe one in ten bricks.
Which is a lot.
Take them away, and
everything collapses.
Same for your Government,
same for this island.
I would rather it collapsed
than be supported like that.
You are naive to think this
island can afford such morality.
Maybe it can't.
But I can.
I need that certificate.
We need it!
DOOR SLAMS
If I was you, in
a place like this,
I wouldn't have thought
it was cashmere either.
I can deliver the
message more politely,
but the message doesn't change.
I thought the old accent might
get me a bit more interest,
you know, just for the novelty.
I live in New York.
There are a lot of accents.
The name's Charlie.
Isn't it Charles,
like your Prince?
Yeah, why not?
Who's waiting for
you in New York?
No, that's not what this is.
This is me, exceptionally
bored, willing to talk to you
for as long as you temporarily
ease that exceptional boredom.
Deal.
Then I'm Alyssa, and you
can buy me one drink.
Gov, you're going
to want to see this.
"A senior police source confirmed
the Brink's-Mat Task Force
"is active in the Caribbean
island of Tortola,
"following enquiries
in the Isle of Man."
I was protecting you, Boyce.
Showing your progress.
You were protecting yourself!
Avoiding criticism
of your leadership
by endangering my team,
and a co-operating witness.
Without my intervention,
that story would have been,
as Britain shivers its way through
a recession, "The Brink's-Mat
Task Force have blown another few
million of your hard-earned"
This is bloody
disgraceful! Boyce!
It's page 23 next to
the obituaries, Boyce.
I don't think it'll
make it to the colonies.
Let's hope not, sir,
for both our sakes.
Hey.
Oh, hi.
Sorry, I need to get to work.
I've got through the financial
advisers on this island.
There aren't many. A chosen few.
And one more chosen
than the others.
Which is why I saw you leave Logan
Campbell's house this morning.
We're engaged.
Congratulations. Does
he clean drugs money?
You should be speaking
to me with the Governor.
And yet I've chosen to talk to
you when you're not at work,
and you're not with her.
What does that mean?
That's what I'm
trying to find out.
And you should do the same.
Well, this is an
unwelcome surprise.
We've both had
our share of them.
What happened with the American?
I met Errico, gave him
half a million pounds,
and haven't heard a peep since.
And Christ only knows where Miller
is, unless you can enlighten me.
You've come a long
way to tell me that.
I didn't feel this conversation
was well suited to a phone call.
What do you want, Douglas?
How are you cleaning the money from
Errico and Miller's drug deals?
Oh, fucking hell.
Pretty smooth.
What's going on?
What's going on is that
I'm shitting myself, mate.
Errico, Miller, the drugs.
I'm in over my head.
You might recall that I
tried to dissuade you from
getting involved with
them. We're both involved.
And we shouldn't be.
They're not our kind
of people, Logan.
They're not in our
fucking league.
So tell me how you cleaned it,
and I'll tell you how we
make sure if this goes down,
it's those two bloody reprobates,
and them alone, who go down with it.
FAX MACHINE BEEPS, WHIRS
Perpetual motion.
What is that?
It's a fax machine.
In the Venn diagram of nations
offering reduced banking rates,
no extradition, bribe-able
local officials,
and political stability,
there are nine countries.
SPEECH MUFFLED
The money moves between those
nine countries in perpetual,
invisible motion.
Through which accounts?
One account, controlled by me, which
transfers money to temporary holding
accounts in the foreign banks,
takes it back, and sends it on.
And on.
And on.
FAX MACHINE STOPS
And where's that account?
I owe you an apology, Douglas.
An old friend comes
all this way, twice,
and I don't even
show him my home.
Oh, don't Don't be daft.
We're talking shop here, Logan.
Let's go back to mine and
I'll give you what you need.
Why not?
This feels bad.
You two stay here.
See what you can find in Campbell's
office. We'll follow them.
So what do you do?
I work for a hedge
fund on Wall Street.
Do any of those words
mean anything to you?
They mean money.
They mean money.
I'm in business myself.
Is that right?
So with a hedge fund, where's the
money? Is this interesting?
It doesn't feel interesting,
though not much does tonight.
I'm interested in
how money works.
Er, we locate investment.
What does that mean? It means
I'm on my way back from Kansas,
and I should have
taken the fucking bus.
What's in Kansas?
THUNDER RUMBLES
That's getting closer.
What's in Kansas?
What are you drinking?
Well, she called it a beer,
but I'm starting to think
she was having me on.
Logan thought Errico was legit.
When he found out he
wasn't, he cut him loose.
I just don't know how much
damage was done before that.
Well, I'm sure that Logan will
be more careful in future.
That's it?
What do you want me to do, Kadene,
hand your fiance to the DEA?
You told me not to meet him.
The first time Logan asked me for
dinner, you told me not to meet him.
I know how men like that
see women on this island.
Those men don't propose.
And you should marry him.
Why?
Because you went
for dinner, Kadene.
You wanted that life.
Now you have to do what
you have to do to keep it.
Bullshit.
This is about him and about you.
Me?!
What have you done, Lauretta?
You know what I've done.
I've cut poverty, raised literacy
levels, extended life expectancy,
and I have looked after you the
way I promised your mother I would.
These are the things
you tell yourself.
This is what you choose to know.
We're both going to have to
decide what we choose to know.
The golden boy
and a golden life.
You were the bright one.
And look what good it did me.
You're hot.
I'm not built for
this kind of thing.
Let's cool off in the pool.
Erm, no, thanks.
We should really tie
up our discussion.
We can talk in the pool.
Don't have any trunks.
Sure I can lend you
some trunks, Dougy.
Is there somewhere I can change?
I was never as confident as
you with matters of the flesh.
The wire's dead.
Could be the battery.
Or your man's ditched it.
No chance.
He knows what he's doing.
Looks like it.
For Christ's sake!
Fucking hell.
This is exciting.
Being here.
It's different to England.
There aren't the same barriers.
Well, this is America.
You have money,
you've got a shot.
The storm's gone.
Better pay what ever I need
to pay to get out of here.
This was, er
..better than I hoped.
Let's be honest, exceptions
where kind of low.
What's in Kansas? Er
It's a It's a
petroleum company.
It's found a lot
of oil, and, er,
doesn't have the money to
get it out of the ground.
So I'm going to fly to New
York, raise the finance,
and then fly back to
Kansas, and close the deal.
Raise the finance from who?
Financial institutions,
pension funds How much each?
Er, it was really
nice to meet you.
How much? SHE CHUCKLES
I don't know, er,
two million apiece?
I'll have it sent
to you tomorrow.
Er, no. This is America.
I have money.
So give me my shot.
All right, I
I think you're full
of shit. But, erm
..if two million dollars clears
in this account tomorrow,
then I will be flying back
through here the day after that
on this flight.
I'll meet you here.
Sure you will.
You know, I could have
got out, before the storm,
but I didn't.
I sat in here, looking
at all those flights,
all those places, all
those lives I could have.
And I couldn't decide.
So I stayed.
Now I'm glad I did.
Now I know where I'm going.
It's all in code.
We're not going to get anything out
of this without Campbell's help,
which means that we
need a confession,
which means we need Baxter
to get that out of Campbell
before Campbell realises
that Baxter's flipped.
Too late.
Is there something you'd like
to tell me now that we're alone?
I don't know what
you mean, Logan.
This island is a
It's a magnet for
the world's detritus.
They come here with their dirty
money and their bullshit stories
and one eye over their shoulders
to check for pursuers.
And I pity them, Douglas.
I sit behind my desk and I pity
them because you'd be surprised
how easy it is to tell myself
that I am above the fray.
With my office and my
brochures and my bank accounts,
it's easy to feel safe. Clean.
Look, Logan But I'm not.
I'm right there in the
gutter with the detritus
with their casual
disregard for the truth.
And loyalty. And friendship.
I don't think you want to bring
loyalty and friendship into this.
Laundering drugs money
is a federal crime.
I'd get 20 years. Did
they tell you that?
Did you weigh them
up, those two decades?
Did you hold 20 years of my
life in your grubby little hands
before saying yes? There is an
opportunity here for both of us
You didn't think to mention, that
this was fucking Brink's-Mat?
I didn't want to
incriminate you.
I wouldn't have touched
Brink's-Mat with a barge pole,
you fucking imbecile!
I know what you did!
Know what?! I
know about Sarah!
Sarah?! About you and Sarah!
Oh, no. Oh, no, oh,
Jesus Christ, that's it?!
That's why you flipped?!
That's why I get 20 years?!
It ruined me, Logan!
It was bloody meaningless!
You are talking about
me, about my life!
And it's a fucking irrelevance.
I am not an irrelevance!
I am not an irrelevance!
I am not an irrelevance!
I am not an irrelevance!
Oh, Dougie.
What have you done?
Campbell knows we're
here for Brink's-Mat.
It was the fax.
Fuck it, let's go in.
I'm not authorised for that.
Well, then, you'd best stay here.
Shit!
Oh, Christ! My bloody ticker!
Did you tell Campbell
we're on him?
He already knew. Where is he?
I have absolutely no idea.
Well, I've done my part.
Now you do yours.
Mr Palmer, it's lovely
to see you again.
Let me introduce you to Han-So.
All right, mate? Hello.
Can we get you a
drink? Oh, er, yeah.
Water's fine, thanks. Right.
May we have a
mineral water please.
Ice? Lemon?
Erm, yeah, sure, why
not, yeah? Thanks.
You know it won't
stand up in court?
It's good TV, but legally
it doesn't give you much.
No, it doesn't have to.
He just needs to allude to criminal
activity in Spain, then I take
the tapes to Spain and get warrants
to find what I need for court.
He's nervous.
He grew up next to a dump
and he's in the Ritz Hotel.
He's allowed to be nervous.
Thought I'd pick you up.
Your reputation precedes you,
Mr Palmer, but for our peace
of mind, can you outline how you
would go about laundering the money?
How was your flight, mate?
Must have been a long one.
It was fine, thank you.
I've got my own plane, you see.
Makes it easier getting about.
When you clean the Russians'
money, do you use shell companies,
or is it a case of Sorry,
can you just give me a minute?
Of course.
Where's he off to, then?
He's suspicious.
We just need to hope that he's
desperate enough to ignore it.
Where would we go?
South America, then Europe.
Maybe Switzerland.
We could ski.
When? Now, which I know
feels kind of abrupt.
This is your chance to tell
me what the fuck is going on.
There is a lot that I
could tell you, and I will.
But for now, what you need
to know is that I have
..laundered large
amounts of drugs money,
and the DEA and the British
police are here to arrest me.
But instead, we're leaving.
Was any of it real?
You are real.
What we have is real.
And I'll build our
new life around that.
A life that's
clean and honest.
Just not here.
I live here.
Well, then, I guess it's
time to choose, Kadene
..between me and Tortola.
I knew a man, Bojangles,
and he danced for you
In worn-out shoes
Silver hair and ragged
shirt and baggy pants
He would do the old soft shoe
He could jump so high

Why do you always
play that song?
Because of the story.
Fourth of July weekend,
New Orleans, 1965.
Jerry Jeff Walker gets thrown
in jail for being drunk.
In that cell is an old man
called Bojangles who says,
"Well, we can stare at
the floor or we can talk."
And Bojangles started to talk about
life, about love, about good times,
bad times, about what Bojangles
called "the whole fiasco."
They talked all night.
And the next day, Jerry Jeff
Walker said, "Where's Bojangles?"
And he's told "He's gone.
"And his name sure as
hell wasn't Bojangles."
Another?
No.
Can I use your phone?
25 million.
Sorry?
I'll clean it for 25 million.
For $25 million, you will
launder $100 million?
Yeah, go on, then.
I mean, I'm not
cheap, but I'm good.
This money comes from heroin
trafficking, Mr Palmer,
and from powerful, violent men.
We can't afford a
last-minute wobble.
Listen, love, in Tenerife
I'm doing a boatload of cash
every week for the Russians,
and they ain't no choirboys.
There won't be no wobble.
Hook, line, and bloody sinker.
Well, we should drink to that.
Champagne, mate.
The most expensive you've got.
Certainly, sir. All right.
The number you have
dialled is not in service.

We won't keep you any
longer, Mr Palmer.
I'll be in touch to
finalise the arrangements.
You ain't saying much, mate.
I just offered to clean
$100 million for you,
and you look like someone's
nicked your lunch money.
We are finished?
You have what you need?
What does he mean, what you
need? It's his dough, innit?
It's just his English.
Er, may we have
the bill, please?
No.
I still get the visas?
I'll see you soon, John.
Oh
Can't anybody see?
We've got a war to fight
Never find our way
Regardless of what they say
How can it feel this wrong?
From this moment
How can it feel this wrong?
Storm in the morning light
I feel, no more can I say
Frozen to myself
I got nobody on my side
