- Nice place for a date. - I wanted to show you something.
An illegal cage fight?
- It's a fixed fight. - What?
You see the fighter in the red gloves? His name is Flanagan.
He's going to go down in the third round.
Do 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 if Flanagan's going to take a dive?
I said I wanted to show you something.
What that bracelet's capable of.
(BELL)
(CROWD SHOUTS)
Don't think Flanagan's going to last till the third round.
No, he's a good fighter.
A few years ago, he taught me how to fight
before he started working for this lot.
(CHEERING)
So you really think the bracelet can change what's happening?
Even in a sure thing, 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.
The fixed roulette table.
Suri...
I didn't win it at a fixed table.
You won 70,000, two consecutive maximums, on two spins of the wheel.
I burnt it.
(PHONE RINGS)
(SIGHS) MIS 13. On duty.
OK. We're on our way.
So what are you going to do about that footage?
I'm still working that out. So who is this Eve to you?
Just some girl I met playing 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 at that stage I thought the roulette table was rigged.
Anyway, whatever the truth is, Winter would want to nail me for it anyway.
- Hi. You're the foreman? - Yeah.
Over there.
Jesus.
If it hadn't have been for the rats, he would never have been found.
We're demolishing this building on Tuesday.
You'll have to stop all work until our SOCOs have everything they need.
- The deputy mayor won't like that. - The deputy mayor?
The St Pancras Metropoint's being built here.
It's his baby. Press call on Tuesday.
They're coming to watch him blow this place up.
POLLY: 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.
We've only just identified him from his dental records.
The building he was found in has been sealed off for the last six 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-soiled 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, eh?
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 MIS.
You don't know that.
Who else could prep a journalist so quickly? Come on, let's go see Winter.
That's the deputy mayor. Give them a minute.
- WINTER: I am in charge, sir. - 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 a city held hostage by fear. His city.
Triad slayings in Soho and Shoreditch. Murder in Hatton Garden.
Voodoo mutilations. Can you see how this plays in the minds of the public?
Yes, sir.
I want this witchcraft murder nailed ASAP.
The Metropoint Project is a major triumph 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 my DCI.
What is it, Harry?
How did it get leaked? The so-called witchcraft killing I'm investigating?
- No one else knows about it. - You believe the leak came from here?
It's come from somewhere.
That's a lot of expectation to be carrying on those shoulders, Alistair.
CONGREGATION: # And meekly in his spirit live

it Come, thou desire of nations, come
I? And take us up to God
How can I comfort our sister Marianne
or fill the hole in our heads 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.
(WOMAN CRIES)
What did they do to you? (CRIES)
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.
MAN: 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 this same racist stereotyping?
MARIANNE: 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 we've offended you.
I just have a few more questions, please.
Can 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 a clinic in Peckham.
He never met me at the cinema.
- I never saw him again. - He was going to give blood?
MARIANNE: 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 HH.
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 modem.
Only four in a million people have it.
- (PHONE BEEPS) - Some odds.
- Oh, no. No, no. - What's the matter?
Our forensics team have been pulled out of the demolition site.
- What? - 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.
(CLATTERING)
Hello?
(GUNSHOT)
(GUNSHOTS)
(CAR HORN)
(TIRES SCREECH)
- MAN: What the hell? - MAN: Sorry, 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 two hours after we got to the body.
That's not my problem.
What you're asking is against all journalistic practice.
(LAUGHS) Come on, Kelly, it's not 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 African immigrants.
- Who do you know at City Hall? - What?
Someone at City Hall rang you with the story, yes?
I came here without a lawyer to help with your questioning.
Not to be harassed by this psycho.
You think your gunman last night's linked to City Hall too?
Well, someone gave the order to pull our SOCOs out.
ANNA: Granny's got lunch for us when we finish.
I thought Dad was coming to help us.
He was. But um...
Dad's really busy with work and he can't get any time off.
- Poor Dad. - He's alright.
And, Daise, you know it is just you and me moving in here?
MARIANNE: 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 a Sierra Leonean aid agency.
Do you remember anyone from the agency contacting him?
Yes. A doctor came to our house once.
I think Luke met him on a Bombay blood online forum.
What was the doctor's name?
Dr Marghai.
There's no Dr Marghai registered with the NHS.
What about a charity called African Health Union?
Wait. Listen, I used to work with that guy. I'll...
I'll catch up with you later.
Jim Stepton.
Long time. Do you want a tip?
Harry Clayton!
25 to one. Forget Her Past.
Worth putting some of that police pension on.
Hello, love.
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 ten 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'd uncovered
straight down the toilet till it went cold.
Is that an accusation?
No, no, no. It'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.
COMMENTATOR: It's Forget Her Past from Larry's field.
Already a length in it. It's going to be Joan Hill's Forget Her Past!
He let a murderer go, Jim.
I just want to say thank you for the way you've treated me these last few days.
I'll remember it.
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.
Well, that's shite! We have Lily-Anne's memory stick.
It clearly shows that Tim Larson owed Lily-Anne £110,000.
As you know, Tim Larson is still maintaining that he killed Caleb Pursey
because he owed him money and Pursey 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 I've talked about today is simple. It's really easy to grasp.
Those notions of responsibility and community.
Jake, can you tell me what you think's going to be the most difficult thing
to achieve when you're released?
Well, I guess this community thing sounds like a bit of shit!
(ALL LAUGH)
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're the sewer through which she contacts me.
You know, you look a little stressed.
Can I get you a drink? Do you want some mint tea?
That bitch threatened my family.
And now I want you to give 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. A man of the law.
We know you don't mean that. (GROANS)
- (GROANS AND GASPS) - Tell her.
- (SPLUTTERS) - Make her understand.
No one comes near my family!
(Y ELLS)
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.
- What? - It was Golding.
(PEOPLE CHAT QUIETLY)
I see you and Frierson are friends again, Alastair. Smashing stuff.
What are you doing here, Harry?
Oh, I just wanted a heads-up on the new crime initiative for our city.
Reclaim the Neighborhood. What does that mean exactly?
It means we're no longer on the back foot to crime.
Brilliant. London can sleep easily.
Don't you get tired of playing the idiot?
Well, I certainly 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 that I've found something more to believe in
while you so obviously haven't?
(GAVEL BANGS)
MAN: Guests, can we put our hands together for our speaker,
the deputy mayor, Karl Frierson?
(APPLAUSE CONTINUES)
FRIERSON: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome and thank you
for your presence here at the launch of my new initiative,
Reclaim the Neighborhood.
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 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 with him? - Chronic kidney failure.
FRIERSON: But February 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 a 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 in Peckham.
I'm sorry, I've never heard of it.
And I know nearly all the West African aid agencies round here.
What about a Dr Marghai?
You've heard of a Dr Marghai?
No. I've never heard of him.
Is there somewhere else we can talk?
It's very important we find him.
He might be involved in the brutal murder of a member of your community.
I think the charity you're looking for no longer exists.
This factsheet may help.
Anna.
Harry! I didn't know you were here.
No, I wasn't invited. I crashed this party.
Um... Harry, this is Nikhal Julian. The governor of Whitecross Prison.
- Nice to meet you. - This is Harry Clayton.
We were just talking about Anna signing up to be a mentor
on the prison's outreach program.
Nikhal, 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 in MIS.
- Right. - It was the murder of...
Maria Alexandri. It was never solved.
I'm afraid I don't remember it.
Well, you've done great things since. And terrific speech, by the way.
FRIERSON: Thank you.
HARRY: 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 torches in a long line of torches,
guardians of a lucky bracelet.
Justifying why we were running again.
And I... grew resentful.
What is a 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 her.
- Hmm. - I'd had enough of her crazy bullshit.
When I came back, she was in a bad way. Delusional.
She kept telling me that her 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 three years I've been tracking a man called Golding.
- Golding. - I'm certain
he ordered my mother's death. It's a pseudonym. A cover.
I've never been able to find out who he is.
That's why you were with the diamond thieves.
They worked for him.
($055)
Her name is Grace. She came to this refuge a few weeks back,
just after it had happened.
She's my cousin.
Did you have an operation? To have a kidney removed?
SURI: I'm so sorry.
Can you tell me who did this to you?
These are bad people. They lied to me. Cheated.
Did Dr Marghai do this?
Marghai. Yes.
Where is he, Grace?
A private health clinic. Corinth Road.
Marghai is only there a few days a month.
He flies in from Freetown.
Can I help you?
(SPEAKS WITH ACCENT) 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 am desperate. He has to help me.
I'll see if my manager has any information on this doctor.
- What was 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 five weeks ago.
They want me back here at nine tonight to see the doctor.
Then he'll decide whether he's treating me tomorrow.
- Marghai's in the country? - No one's mentioned his name
but they've taken blood from me.
No, this is the place. He's going to turn up here tonight.
We need to do this properly, through Covert Ops.
I don't feel comfortable winging it like this.
You know how long that's going to 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 him.
Where the hell were you while I've been tracking all this down by myself?
I'm withholding evidence that will 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? - A mixture of boarding schools.
My mum and dad left enough money for my guardians to send me away.
(LAUGHS) It's not a sob story. It's just how it was.
I'm amazed you turned out halfway sane.
- That's not even the good half. - DAISY: Mum.
Uh...
- What are you doing up, young lady? - I'm thirsty.
You need to go back to bed right now, please.
- God! - (HE LAUGHS)
(KNOCKING)
I thought you weren't going to 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.
I'll call you as soon as I set eyes on Marghai.
NURSE: 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.
(LOCK CLICKS)
(PHONE RINGS)
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?
VOICEMAIL: Hi, this is Harry Clayton. Leave a...
(RATTLES DOOR)
Why aren't you undressed? The doctor is here.
Don't be afraid. You're in very good hands.
You just abandoned us. You're just letting us go!
Tell me, where are you now?
I don't know. I got on a bus outside your house.
- What number? - A 29.
- It stops 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.
The 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 a check-up. - You are very lucky. I fly tomorrow.
(Y ELLS)
(GROANS)
(Y ELLS)
Anna? I know where Daisy is.
Thank God! Where is she? Where?
She got on the number 29 bus. She got out at Turnpike Lane.
- She's outside the Prince of Wales pub. - I'm nearby. I'll be there in ten.
Get there as quick as you can. Call me the minute you have her.
The Prince of Wales pub.
Oh, Suri.
(BUZZER)
- Check that. - NURSE: It's the courier.
Scalpel.
Police!
(GROANS)
Suri! Suri?
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Suri.
Daisy? Daisy!
- Alright. I'll take it from here. - OK, sir.
In.
HARRY: Are you 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.
(REVS ENGINE)
(CAR HORN / TIRES SCREECH)
Jesus Christ!
It was Frierson, wasn't it?
Wasn't it? Answer me, Marghai!
Please! Stop!
(CAR HORNS)
Karl Frierson has HH blood. Luke's kidney was for him, eh?
(CAR HORNS)
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 made me kill him.
FRIERSON: I like to think that London is a city built by dreamers,
for people who believe in dreams.
Our iconic buildings are not only pan of our skyline,
they're pan of our collective identity as Londoners.
And as soon as I press this button, we'll start work on another dream.
The Metropoint Project.
Alright. Everybody ready?
FRIERSON: 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 15th at the Cardwell Clinic, you were saved, yes?
Yes.
You have a very rare blood type. HH.
And only an HH kidney will do.
On the 14th of February last year,
a young man called Luke Bangura went missing.
He also has HH 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 HH 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 HH?
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 had 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 HH online forum, didn't you?
LAWYER: Unless you intend to charge my client, I'm advising him to not 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.
- WINTER: That's enough! - HARRY: 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.
No, you're not. My office, Detective Clayton.
- What? - Now, Clayton!
Here. I have a strong case. I have Dr Marghai.
Who's 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.
(MACHINE BEEPS)
Did you get him?
Yes.
Good.
