(WHIMPERS)
(SCREAMS)
(RUSSIAN ACCENT) You may believe, Harry Clayton.
But you haven't learned how to control luck.
Or how to mold it to your will.
And 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're trying to save him, you can't. I have bullet in every chamber.
Meet his eye or it will curse you. It will burn you.
Believe.

Eve?

(WHIMPERS)
- HARRY: I should call this in. - You can't do that, Harry.
- I'm a murder detective. - They'll ask you why you're here
tied to a chair next to a dead man and a loaded gun.
Are you going to tell them it's because you're wearing a lucky bracelet?
You go. Now. I'll deal with this.
- What... He's still alive. - EVE: Go!
But what about"?
(PANTS)
God...
Oh, God.
(PHONE RINGS)
Good morning, Hoxton Ditch.
Let me just check that for you.
(GASPS)
(PHONE RINGS)
- Hello? - SURI: Harry, where are you?
Where've you been? I've been calling you all night. Did you catch him?
No, I was chasing him. I...
- I lost him by Tower Bridge. - Are you OK?
You sound weird.
I'm OK.
I've been at the hospital with Kate Olsen.
She's gone into an insulin coma.
- Are you still there? - Yeah , yeah.
We've been called to a shooting at the Hoxton Ditch.
It's a private members club. I'll be there in 15. 35 Curtain Lane.
Harry?
(EXHALES DEEPLY)
What happened?
The guy caught me by surprise.
- Why didn't you radio in? - Didn't have the chance.
How long were you chasing the driver?
Quite a while, 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. Is this it?
KANE: Caleb Pursey, he owned this place.
The shooter walks in wearing a mask, slips past the receptionist...
Shoots him three times in the chest.
(GUNFIRE)
Do we know who the shooter is?
All they've got is dark hair and jeans. Probably white.
And the next of kin?
Caleb's wife's already been notified. She heard the shots from upstairs.
SURI: Mrs Pursey, do you know of anyone
who might have wanted to kill your husband?
- 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 can't... - SURI: A name, or...
I don't know anything.
This is Finn Belman. Can 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.
MAN: Yeah, all the bar staff have these.
I've got six on the books at the moment.
You're actually in luck. They're all here right now.
Eh, privacy?
There's two upstairs and three down here. There's one missing.
Where's Tim?
- Well, he's not here. - He's supposed to be working.
Which one's his locker?
- Harry! - I've got a... key.
- HARRY: He's a shit hit man. - Tim who?
Tim Larson.
No, that's fine. Thank you. Their address for Larson doesn't work.
He left there owing six 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.
Eve?
(PHONE RINGS)
- Murder and violent crimes? - Donna, Harry Clayton here.
Listen, can you tell me, were any bodies brought in overnight?
- Possibly unidentified. - No, we had a quiet one for a change.
Oh, apart from a woman in Edgware who killed her boyfriend. Just the usual.
Thanks, Donna.
HARRY: Paul Lermontov, good morning.
- It's alright. - DRIVER: Of course, sir.
If you're here about Kate Olsen, I have no new information.
We found her. She's alive. She's going to make a full recovery.
Good. What a relief.
The man who kidnapped her used to work for your father.
Yuri Becker. Do 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 going to connect you to it.
- I don't think I'm quite following you. - Have you ever played Russian roulette?
I heard your father was fond of it.
There's nothing quite like having a loaded gun pressed against your temple.
It clears the mind.
(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR SLAMS)
- Morning, DS Chohan. - Hi.
I've found an address for Tim Larson.
His girlfriend declared them homeless to the council three months ago.
She told them he's a gambling addict. Shall we?
Of course he is.
It's the worst part about being with an addict.
It's not about the things they've lost.
It's the fear of what they're going to do next.
WOMAN: 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.
Where anything's up for grabs.
(LAUGHS WEAKLY) 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?
(SIGHS)
Someone pushed this under the door two days ago.
HARRY: Someone's been watching you.
It seems the Hoxton Ditch is a casino.
Somethings 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 too?
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 these? Who has access to these chips?
Anyone who plays here.
Did you or Caleb know this man?
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?
What's the minimum bet in here?
Ask him.
He ran it for Caleb.
MAN: 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?
- Can I take your name please? - Don Marianski.
What are you doing here, Don? It's a crime scene.
I let him in.
I had 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. - 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 up.
I wanted you to come back to Whitecross
so I could show you what we would have offered Kevin Grey.
In this restaurant we offer on-site training and rehabilitation,
a job and reintegration on the outside.
Except he killed himself.
Which was a tragedy.
And a failure on my pad.
You want to show me you can do better. Why?
Because I know your work.
You generally defend clients
who, like Grey, come from pretty deep criminal backgrounds.
Where we end up is usually dictated by where we start
So I've always felt I should try and 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?
Um, sir, I've got Simon from Fraud coming in.
Why?
Lily-Anne Lau and her probable money laundering.
Sorry, you've lost me.
What's this got to do with the Hoxton Ditch murder?
Last week this man, Don Marianski, won big
on the stacked roulette table at the Green Dragon.
I told Fraud and they've had it under surveillance.
Today I ran into him at the Hoxton Ditch running the gambling room.
You think this guy might be pan of a money-laundering chain?
Yeah. 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.
You can't keep winning, Harry. Your luck must run out some time.
Here, have you heard of a place where people can gamble without using money?
(SCOFFS) Using what?
I don't know. The son of place a major addict might go who needs a way out.
- No. - I'll tell you about that place.
If you don't play the next hand.
(LAUGHS) You're killing us here, man.
- Do you know it? - Is it 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 there with nothing, walk out with a Porsche,
or not walk out at all.
- They bet themselves? - (WHISPERS) 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 wives' tale, Harry.
No. No, no, no, my cousin Magdalena has played in it.
Tell me where it is.
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.
Oh, sounds delicious.
So how long have you been working here then?
Nearly six 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-chefing, waitering, and kitchen maintenance... madam.
Um, I'm visiting because a client of mine was an inmate here, briefly.
Kevin Grey?
Did you meet him?
He committed suicide, I expect you heard about...
Sorry about that.
So... Have you thought about my proposal?
Yes.
Yes, I'd love to be a mentor here.
Sorry, I was just taking in another consignment.
- More stolen treasures of Iraq? - (CHUCKLES) No. Where's 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 going to say unstable.
Maybe even a little paranoid.
(LAUGHS) 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.
Like, they were identical.
That messes you up.
RICH: And it's always been there, hanging over him.
And that's where it all comes from.
Harry's constant need to test his luck.
(SIGHS)
- RICH: It's like a... - SURI: Death wish.
- I'm here for the game. - Code please.
(WHISPERS) Six, two...
(REPEATS UNDER HIS BREATH)
...three, nine, eight.
(WHISPERS) ...nine...
Shite.
(DOOR SLAMS)
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's code.
Six, two, three, nine...
weight.
Your stake?
We must know what you are prepared to lose
if you are to take pan in the game.
Our establishment is a little more... unorthodox than others.
- (KEYS JINGLE) - BMW 507 Roadster.
GAMES MASTER: And we are ready to begin.
Place your hand in the opening.
By coming here, you have all agreed to play the game to its conclusion,
no matter what form that conclusion takes.
Once the rat has chosen the winner,
the game is over.
(WHISPERS) Come on.
No...
(EXHALES)
All yours.
Now to redeem your star prize...
(BREATHES HEAVILY) Please. No, Wait.
(STUTTERS)
- I've got a kid. - What did he bet?
The price of admission was his tongue.
No. No, no no.
(GASPS) Listen, my kid is in danger.
I just need money to save her and her mum.
I just need to keep her safe.
No. (BREATHES HEAVILY)
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.
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
Who told you to come here?
Wait, look. See this?
This is a ming-yun bracelet from the Tang Dynasty.
Eighth century. It's worth hundreds of thousands.
- Too late to barter. - It is endowed with immense luck.
Whoever wears it can control their own fortune.
Let me see.
I'll bet you this bracelet, if you let me take him.
(GASPS)
GAMES MASTER: Bracelet on the table.
It doesn't come off.
(LAUGHS)
I'm telling you.
Believe me, try.
It won't... come... off.
Well then, it's useless. If you lose, how can we get the bracelet?
Wait.
- Any way you can. - Do it.
Roll a dice. Whoever wins gets the bracelet.
If I win, I walk out of here with him
- and you never see us again. - All agreed?
- Pick a number. - Doesn't matter, you choose.
- Five. - Four.
- Six. - Two.
Three.
So I'm one.
TIM: Please. Please.
(PANTS)
- You could have lost your hand. - And you're nicked.
- No way, you're not police. - Yes, I am.
What kind of policeman does that? Has that?
Oh, this old thing? This is junk.
No. No, I've seen you use it.
Why did you kill Caleb Pursey, huh?
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, but I haven't seen this guy come back.
He may have used Lily-Anne Lau as a 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 want to be there.
Suri, I've got Tim Larson in Interview One.
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 to walking into Hoxton Ditch
and shooting him with a 9mm Glock handgun.
Yes, I did that.
My client hopes that his early confession and full cooperation...
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.
- Well, it's the truth. - Come on, Tim.
It costs £2,000 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.
- Did you even know Caleb Pursey? - 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 sights on the Hoxton Ditch
to expand her money-laundering operation.
She used you to get rid of Caleb Pursey.
You had no choice but to do as 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've just torn apart his confession?
He didn't owe Caleb Pursey money.
So what do you have to connect Tim Larson to Lily-Anne Lau?
Don Marianski from the Hoxton Ditch who you saw in the Green Dragon.
- It's not enough. - WINTER: Suri?
Award'?
Then I'll get more.
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 rumor.
Interesting line of inquiry from Clayton.
Is there any concrete evidence you've found
that would directly suggest Lily-Anne is linked to this murder?
No.
So you think he's trying to pin it on her for... personal motives?
- That's not what I'm saying. - It has occurred to you?
- It doesn't mean that... - That he's crooked? Really?
(SIGHS)
I'm always here for you Suri.
If you need to talk about anything.
- You know that. - Hm-hmm.
Don't let him change you, Suri.
You're too good an officer for that.
I've got to get out of here.
I can't be here anymore, where he died.
No, absolutely. I understand.
I just came to tell you that we've found your husband's killer.
And he's made a full confession.
That's great. That's a real relief.
So why are you still scared?
(INHALES DEEPLY) I'm not scared.
Is it because Lily-Anne is 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 with some gangster types, so he asked a favor.
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 going to shut the casino.
Lily-Anne still had her man in here? And she didn't want it to stop.
That's why they killed him.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Cheers.
This is a police raid, nobody move!
POLICEMAN: Keep your hands where I can see them.
Come on.
You're under arrest, madam.
Miss Lau.
I found this underneath your roulette table.
Do you know what it is?
I have 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 your officers...
You never stop lying, do you?
Lily-Anne Lau, I am arresting you
on suspicion of conspiracy to commit fraud and money-laundering offenses
under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.
(PHONE RINGS)
- Hello? - Harry? You need to listen to me.
It's about your debt.
- What? - 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 that murder investigation.
- Where's 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 in, for God's sake.
You look like you're doing the laundry.
How much does she want?
Well, it'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 lacquered box that belonged to her father.
I can't do that. It's evidence.
Its contents are very precious, 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.
KALEEM: Next!
So when is she going to 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? - I don't know.
We may have to make a deal with the devil if we want Clayton.
(SIGHS)
For the day of their calamity is at hand
and the things that shall come upon them.
(WHISPERS) Make haste.
Alright, Harry?
- Oh, hiya. - What can I do for you?
Yeah, I have a question.
It's a hangover from the investigation into the Freddie Lau murder.
Shoot.
How many roulette tables were stacked?
Only one. I'll show you.
- This one here wasn't rigged? - We 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.
I think this is enough to prove she ordered the hit on Caleb Pursey.
How did you find this?
You took this from Freud'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 am 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.
- Where've you been? - I've been busy.
- What did you do with Becker's body? - It's safer if you don't know.
What, I'll just accept that?
What other choices do you have?
- What's that? - 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.
(DOOR CLOSES)
- What did he want? - A package for the boss.
I'll take it to Winter.
