Jay, you nearly died last time.
And you think I'm gonna let my little brother risk it? Ah? Ah? We both know mum would've beaten me to a pulp for not looking after you.
Alright? Besides, who knows? Odds might go in my favour for a change.
What like, you might go down in the second round, instead of the first! Think he's waking up Suri, go and get Anna.
Harry? Harry, can you hear me? If this is heaven, it's not what it's cracked up to be! It's okay everyone, he's still an arse.
I thought you were dead, you scumbag.
- Sorry to disappoint you.
- Dad! Ah.
Daisy Dad, I was so worried about you! Hello.
Daise, shall we go get something to eat? Get you something too if you like.
Great, the third date vending machine.

You saved my life.
You need saving.
- It's gone! - It's gone! Oh sorry No don't worry Alistair, come in.
Come in.
I'll go and find Daisy.
God I'm glad you're still alive.
I really thought Alistair What happened wasn't an accident.
Isabella tried to kill me.
What are you talking about? I know it's the last thing you want to believe.
But last night she came to shut me down for good.
If Anna hadn't been there, she'd've done the job.
Harry, Harry, you've been through an ordeal.
Your head's in a mess No I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I'm crystal clear.
They've been others too.
The criminals on our list; she's the one taking them out.
What the hell is wrong with you? First you arrest my girlfriend with deficient evidence, and now this We were involved! What are you saying? Isabella and I, knew each other long before you did.
When I broke it off, she turned psychotic.
That's why she's targeted you.
No, you, you're lying.
Look at me! Look! Look where I am.
I maybe a lot of things, but I'm not that cruel and I am not insane.
So why else would I tell you this? Please Alistair, please Get yourself Back on your feet.
Listen Al, Alistair! Stay away from her! Shit.
You're still here.
Yes, I thought I'd wait for you after that call? Thought it might be a rough night, for you.
Thanks.
Do you wanna talk about it? Harry Clayton was electrocuted last night.
That is terrible.
Oh.
What a terrible way to die.
How, did that happen? I mean, was it in the line of duty? Or an accident? We're looking into it.
Oh God.
I'm sorry.
You know, when you say 'weapon', people think of a knife or a gun.
But a glass shard can be just as lethal.
Why are you here? I didn't want to kill Harry.
But he made it impossible for me not to.
Where's the other bracelet? I destroyed it.
You're lying.
You're the one who told me to destroy yours if you died.
Why would you do that? Because look what it's done to you! You just murdered the best man I ever knew.
And you can kill me, Isabella, it won't change the fact you're alone now.
For good.
Leave town.
If I see you, I will kill you.
Harry Harry You're dead.
You're dead.
You're dead.
Isabella She killed me.
But I came back again.
Shouldn't you be in the hospital? Probably.
You going somewhere? Isabella came by; she told me to get out of town.
She thinks you're dead has she seen you? No, but it's only a matter of time.
Where's the bracelet? Eve, where's the bracelet? I Did something stupid.
Come on, Jay Come on Jay, you got him.
You got this.
Finish him! And tonight, our winner, Jay Tate! Jay Tate! But What happened to Harry was an accident.
Investigating Harry's crash is purely a precautionary measure.
Just examine the site, liaise with the Serious Collision Investigation Squad, make sure we're not missing anything.
Okay, we'll visit the scene, go to the impound.
Thanks.
Oh and Suri? Please treat this with the utmost confidentiality.
Let's give Harry his recovery time.
Sure.
Can you get me a printout of all the cases Harry Clayton investigated over the last three months.
Thanks.
- (SPARKS) - (INDISTINCT CHATTER) According to the report, there was a leak in Harry's brake fluid reservoir.
In there, see that? Time of the accident, this thing was pretty much empty.
Could that have caused the crashed? Hard to say.
Would of stopped him avoiding it.
What caused the leak? It's natural abrasion, in older vehicles.
But the reports says there's no way of telling how or when it happened.
But Harry just had that car serviced.
Wouldn't they have spotted it? So that's it, it's all paid off? Yeah.
Anything we make from here on out goes straight to the bank of Jay.
Ah.
Lucky for you, the bank covers its brother too.
Tate? You there? You was on form last night.
Been eating my greens, I guess.
I've got another club tonight.
Big league.
You feel like stepping up? - Yeah.
- Good lad.
- Barman.
Another.
- Uhuh? You celebrating? Or mourning A little of both.
I just lost my only companion.
My last bit of hope in this world.
Well, you know the best way to get over someone? Get under someone-else.
You get me, ahahah.
I'm having a very bad day.
Leave me alone.
- Sorry about that.
- Thanks.
That was rude.
Oh I thought I made myself very clear.
Yeah.
I've had a real fucker of an evening.
So why don't you lose the resting bitch face and make this fun for us.
Yeah.
Fine.
(EXPLOSION) Argh! My eyes.
Argh! Argh! My eye's argh! Help me please, somebody help! Dave, you got to come and see kid, dodges like he is a mind reader.
(SHOUTS, CHEERS) (INDISTINCT CHATTER, PUNCHES, CHEERS) You think our mugger's here? Regular fighters are marked with a horseshoe tattoo on their thumb.
He had one.
Contestants get paid to enter cause they might not come out.
- Alright, Rory.
- Alright.
Long time no see.
Can we watch? Of course.
You're mate looks a little soft.
Keep an eye on him.
Tattoos.
You know the guy in the green shorts? Yeah, Jay Tate.
Usually on his back in minutes, but yeah he's suddenly got cocky.
Look at him, thinks he's Tyson Fury.
Tonight's winner, Jay Tate! Jay Tate! Jay Tate! Tate! Tate! Tate! - Sir? - How'd it go? Crime scene was err, nasty, but as the report suggested.
Poor driving conditions, fallen pylon cable, Harry was just unlucky to be the path of least resistance.
Nothing to suggest foul play there.
- But? - Well there was one thing.
Erm, a leak in the brake fluid container of Harry's car.
When he was out that night, he was essentially driving without brakes.
Do we know how it got there? No.
But we know it's recent.
Harry had the car serviced two months ago.
I checked the vehicle report, there was no leak then.
- Doesn't tell us much.
- No, it doesn't.
But Being there at the scene, adding up all these weird factors Something just soesn't feel right.
Here are, just like I said.
And there's plenty more where that come from, alright? Bit more than an entrance fee, ain't it? - Tate.
Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Against all the odds, huh? Some serious brass balls on you.
Or is it something-else? Who are you? DI Clayton.
I'm the last person to wear what's on your wrist.
You can feel it then.
Piss off, mate.
It's intoxicating, I get it.
Everything is going your way, feels invincible.
But there are consequences.
- What's he on about? - Later Listen to me.
Every time something lucky happens to you.
Something bad follows.
Listen to me! (WHACK, GROANS) Let's go! Let's go! Stay down.
Stay down! Five, five, five thous, five thousand.
Five thousand.
(SCREAMS) Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! We are gonna be rolling in it, bruv.
Seriously, I reckon I can beat anyone now.
Yeah.
You don't reckon that copper's gonna come after us? I reckon he won't be able to catch us.
Oi, mate! What're you doing? He's a pretty boy, ain't he? I'm talking about the car, not you.
Can I help you? Yeah.
You can give me your keys.
Jay, people can see! I'm just talking nice to the fella.
You don't want to make trouble with me.
No.
I want you to hand over the car without a fuss.
Alright, I warned you Jay! Jay, Jay! - Stop it! Somebody help! - Jay what are you doing man? Get off him! - Jay man! - Give me the key! What are you doing, man? Jay.
Jay.
What are you doing? (SCREAMS) Get in the car, Nathan.
Who the hell did you just mug? Jesus! You didn't have to do it, you didn't have to be there tonight.
There's nothing tying us together anymore, you can just walk away.
I know how much you hated wearing the bracelet.
Really! You're a funny thing.
Eve, that guy is carrying a curse he doesn't even realise is on him.
- (SIGHS) - However much of a dick head, Jay is, the bracelet's our responsibility.
Not yours, Harry.
I've worn it.
I've seen what it can do to a man.
It'll always be my responsibility.
And you really don't know where he is? Anna I am doing everything in my power to keep him safe.
But you know what Harry's like.
Let's go back.
So the car swerved off the road, that's when Harry got out? Yes.
It's when the cable electrocuted him.
Any other details? Anything out of the ordinary? Shouldn't you be asking Harry these questions? Anna if there's something you know, you have to tell me.
Harry said you were dating Isabella Augustin.
Why do you bring that up? Because before I say anything, I need to know where she fits in to all of this.
With you.
Yes, we've been involved.
But I'm currently assessing the nature of our relationship.
There was a car tailing us that night.
Alright.
Did you get a look at it? License plate, model, anything? It was a black four by four.
Who was it Anna? Find out where Isabella was the night of the accident.
Be careful, Alistair.
Why didn't you tell me you knew Harry Clayton? What do you mean? Harry told me, just before the accident, said you knew each other from Gamblers' Anonymous.
Ah! Well, were not supposed to disclose any information about other members, under any circumstances.
But there you go! Well I didn't even know you had a gambling problem.
I don't.
I did, but not anymore.
Honestly, Alistair, that is all in the past.
Harry and I barely spoke.
We didn't really know each other.
You could have said something that night.
Apart from the discretion code, it didn't really feel like the appropriate moment to talk about all this.
When you just had that call about the accident.
Okay.
Thanks.
Actually We're not so sure it was an accident.
Oh? A man who lives opposite saw the whole thing.
Spotted a vehicle pulling away, soon after Harry was electrocuted.
Struck us as a bit odd.
You know, car crashed, Harry on the floor.
You'd have thought they'd have at least stopped.
Yes.
That does sound odd.
It's probably nothing, but we're gonna bring him in, interview him for a vehicle description.
Anyway, look sorry.
I'm banging on about work.
It's good to see you.
- Coffee.
- Yeah.
Woohoo What do you say Nath? You still weeping over your lost morals? Right, so you're just gonna sit there resenting me.
Even though I'm the one paying for all this shit.
I'm the one with the plan, the cash, the talent (LAUGHS) I mean, what do you actually bring to the table, Nath? Ah? Y'know, I used to think I was just looking out for you.
But you know what the term is for someone like you? Leech! You know what? There.
Think of it as 'fuck off' money.
What? I don't need that rain cloud over your head pissing all over me.
Go on.
Get lost.
You know what Jay, you always were a prick.
But you used to be a good brother.
Mum'll be turning in her grave right now! Funny how luck changes someone isn't it.
Right give us some space, go on! Quickly.
Move! Move! Thank you! How'd you find me? - Your brother called me.
- What!? You're losing it, Jay! Alright you need help, mate! So you enlist a flipping copper, you idiot? I'm not here to arrest you.
I want you to stop using the bracelet, before it's too late.
You seriously still selling me that comic book shit? Okay.
- Find the Queen of Hearts.
- What? Just do it.
If it's not there I'll leave.
- No way - Jack of Diamonds.
It's obviously a trick deck.
- Name a card.
- Eight of Clubs.
Pick one.
I told you.
It's the bracelet.
No.
It's not.
- Jay - You can feel it, eh.
Every since you started wearing it, how everything changed.
You're addicted already.
It's not the flipping bracelet, alright!? Jay.
My head really hurts This is all just some big fucking con! I'm having my first good run in years, I'm not about to let - some Celtic tosser ruin it! - I'm just trying to help you, mate.
- Jay.
My head doesn't feel right - Just stay the hell away from me.
- (SHOUTS) Jay! - You alright? Nathan! Nathan.
What are you doing? Nathan? Nathan? Nathan? He is not breathing! Nathan! What are you doing in here? These are Harry's old files.
- This is private.
- Why are you looking at them? D'you think they have something to do with what happened to Harry? I saw you talking to Anna Clayton earlier.
Please sir, if someone's trying to hurt Harry, you have to tell me about it.
I can't discuss this.
Not yet.
Where are you going? Sir, what the hell is going on? You watch your tone, Suri.
Remember who's in charge here.
Look, I'm, I'm sorry.
I'll explain everything tomorrow.
Thank you.
Thanks for all your help.
What was that about? I don't know.
But I'm officially done being kept in the dark.
- What are you doing? - Enlisting a grass.
What are we gonna do with him? I'm working on it.
But tell you, we're not gonna abandon him.
Can't become like Isabella.
How you holding up? How the hell could he have had a brain aneurysm? Ah? Nathan's twenty one.
He don't even drink, he's healthy.
I don't think it works like that.
So you're not messing with me, are you? You really believe this is, a lucky bracelet.
I know it sounds a complete bollocks.
But the sooner you start believing it, the more you'll be able to protect yourself.
So, so Nathan dying that's really cos of me? The luck has to balance itself out.
That's why we need to teach you all we can.
Before you lose anything else.
I've got nothing left to lose.
Excuse me.
(on mobile) Harry.
Suri? That's right.
Got fed up of you dodging my calls.
Suri.
This is not a good time.
(On mobile) We've being investigating what happened to you.
Winter sent us to the crime scene, and I saw him taking Anna earlier.
I don't think he believes it was an accident and now he's left the office and won't say where he's going.
Listen to me.
Track his phone, send me his destination.
Harry's medicine's dealing with it.
This is mine.
When things started going right, I thought I was Finally getting a silver lining for all the shit I'd gone through.
But this, this thing.
It ain't a reward, is it? It's a punishment.
You put it on me.
Take it off.
I've tried It won't budge.
Please.
I can't be this person anymore.
Take it off.
I'm sorry, I can't it won't come off.
What you talking about? The bracelet stays with you till the day you die.
I'm sorry I can't change that.
I really hoped you wouldn't come.
There isn't a witness that lives opposite.
You tricked me.
I'm afraid I did.
It didn't occur to me at first.
The fact that Harry accused you of murder, and that very same night he wound up in a tragic accident.
I was vindicated of that charge.
Yeah.
And I believed you.
But I've been in this job a long time.
You stop being able to ignore your gut.
And I just couldn't shake it off.
The way everything seemed to line up so neatly to make sure Harry died.
The leak.
The accident.
Falling cable.
And you know what the strangest thing was, it extended to his cases too.
All of these criminals dying in the most mysterious circumstances.
- Bad luck.
- I don't believe in luck.
C'mon C'mon Alistair pick up - Please leave a message after the tone.
- Bollocks! Suri tell me? I've got him, Seventeen West Walk, Latimore Road.
That's the road where I died.
Yeah, I know.
Why would Winter go there? I think he's in serious trouble.
Suri.
Get back-up! (SIRENS WAIL) (GUN COCKS) Where did you get that? After I met you and Harry at the fight club, I needed a quick getaway.
Like magic, this, this Porsche pulls up.
Found this in the glove compartment.
I thought I was on a fucking roll.
Everything I wanted just kept appearing.
But Nathan Na, Nathan he cottoned on to it.
He told me to stop.
Only he's the one who got punished 'cause I wouldn't stop.
Jay Please put the gun down.
You did this to me.
You put it on my fucking wrist.
You knew what was gonna happen.
I know, I made a mistake.
Will the bracelet bring Nathan back? Will the bracelet bring Nathan back? No! No, I'm sorry N, No.
Please Jay don't.
Please don't.
I'm sorry for what I did to you.
- No! (SCREAMS) - (GUNSHOT) Where were you the night of the accident? I already told you.
Right.
The soup kitchen.
You see I called them, and they didn't have an event that night.
In fact, they have no record of any volunteer named Isabella Augustin.
And there was something else.
Anna Clayton saw a car following her.
All the way from their house, to the scene of the accident.
Harry was electrocuted by a pylon cable.
What do other cars have to do with that? Maybe nothing.
But she remembers what the vehicle looked like and she could probably identify it if requested.
Was that your car, Isabella? You'd never put someone away with that.
You're probably right.
I just wanted to know for myself, if you were involved.
And now I do.
When I met you, I thought you must've been Sent.
I spent so long wishing for you.
And now I know who you are.
And I will see to it that you're brought to justice for what you've done.
If you confess now, your sentencing will be more lenient.
If not, rest assured we'll find the evidence to put you away for a long time.
Goodbye, Isabella.
Alistair.
(WHACK) (GROANS, PANTS) (PANTS) It's such a shame we could have parted so amicably.
So who's next? If I kill her I lose.
If you don't we all lose.
I want SO19.
Men on the streets.
A cordon round her house.
Oh and I have to be there.
We have know chance of catching her unless I am there.
We have to get Daisy.
She is going to come for you.
You have to suffer, Harry Clayton.
Lose everything, so you can see the world as she does.
If you had to put your last penny on one person Who would it be? So how will you beat her? You've no chance without this.
