Stan Lee's Lucky Man (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - A Higher Power - full transcript

Whoever wears the bracelet
is endowed with immense luck.

"You're only as rich as you feel."

Save me from this.

- Who's that?
- Big-shot gold bullion

dealer called Vincent Lermontov.

There is a... legend...

about a bracelet like yours.
I heard it long ago.

I was meant to give it
to someone else.

He'll come after you!

I'm looking for Harry Clayton.

I went to the Green Dragon casino.



I think they're running
a fixed roulette table.

I've won money
on one of these tables!

70 grand. I need you to, hum,
look after it for a while.

I'm gonna need somebody I can trust.

I am your eyes and ears, sir.

D.I. Orwell's going to be joining you
on the Hatton Garden case.

Come on!

Where is it?

- Tell me where it is!
- Relax!

Where's the diamond?

Go to hell!

Wait!

Who are you?

I said: stop!



You're gonna shoot me, Harry?

Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.

He's here!

Fuck!

Police!

Can I have a name and address,
please?

I am Kate Olsen, of F.R.S.A.,

5 Pipe Square, Canary Wharf.

Think someone's coming to hurt me!

Keep your calm, Miss Olsen.
Police are on their way.

Could you tell me exactly
where in the building you are?

Miss Olsen?

- Please! Please...
- Hello?

Police station...
Hello?

My heart's beating way too fast
for its own good.

But I don't care.

Nothing else matters.

Nothing can go wrong.

Not when the universe around me
is so in sync with my every move.

And I know with outright certainty

that tonight...

is my night.

That each turn of the car,
spin of the wheel, roll of the dice,

my fortune's gonna change forever.

It's time.

Time for everyone
who ever doubted me,

who belittled me,
who despaired of my losses,

to bow down at my kingship,

and glory in my brilliance
as I win it all back,

and keep on winning.

Amen.

That's how every night starts.

Come after 'em, it's all gone
down the toilet.

Believing in good luck...
is madness.

Takes to all of us.

That's why we're all here.

Great speech, Harry.

Thank you.

Let's wrap up and say the steps
out loud. Step one:

I have a gambling addiction.

Step two:

I am placing my faith in a higher
power than myself.

I think this is the dumbest thing
you've ever done, Harry.

I'm aware of that.

I won that money
on a crooked roulette wheel.

You don't know that for sure.

I know that the woman who was
with me that night is a criminal.

The woman who gave me this.

Then why did she give it to you?

I don't know!

All I do know is that... I'm alive.

I could easily not have been alive.
Maybe I shouldn't be alive!

I'm glad that's all clear, then!

The total from...

Lau's jet is reported
to be about 10...

[Applause, cheers]

Excuse me one second.

How is the head?

My good looks!

Listen, I gather it was looking pretty
grim for me back there before you...

Risk life and aimed
to save your arse?

I'm kidding.

Yeah... Anyway...

Thanks for that.

Any time.

Oh and how's it going with
the two in custody?

Er... yeah! Alright, the...

The leader Nelson, he's...
he's keeping stone but...

the other one,
he's 19 years old.

Gonna lean on him for the last
member of the gang.

You... you nearly had him,
didn't you?

We'll need a description.

They were wearing helmets
to be fair.

Yes, it's hard to talk it
through with you.

Winter wants to see us both, now.

Wah! Ho! Finally!
Some love from the big man!

I am Kate Olsen, of F.R.S.A.

5 Pipe Square, Canary Wharf.

Think someone's coming to hurt me!

999 call, 9:24 pm last night.

Kate Olsen works for the Financial
Regulation Security Authority,

investigating bad traders.

There's been no sign of her
since that call.

Which would mean this is a murder,
without a body?

We'll treat it as a high-risk missing
person with a significant threat of murder.

So, am I back as S.I.O.
(Senior Investigating Officer) on this?

You charged into highly explosive
situation without any thought,

against all our planning,

and yet, your actions saved
Orwell's life

and recovered a priceless gem stone,
so...

while the Grady inquiry progresses,

I've decided to put you
on another case!

I gather it's the popular choice.

Do I get a reward
for finding the diamond?

I was offered a job in a place
like this once, as a bonus trader.

I bet you were, with your brilliant kind
of girls, they'd be mended by now.

Nothing unusual here.

No sign of any kind of disturbance.

But she specified she was in this office
when she made the call.

We need to find out who else
was in the building then.

Yeah or who followed her in.

This building has a pretty impressive
security system.

You can't get in without a pass.

This is Kate Olsen,
coming in at 7:45 last night.

And you were in the security room
all night?

Yeah.

And you checked the four 80-tapes
for Olsen leaving?

She's not on them.

There's no record of Olsen's pass
checking out either.

But she's not in here now,
so how could that happen?

Beats me.

Can you check the CCTV
on the 15th floor at...

What time did she make
the 999 call?

9:24.

9:24.

OK.

These are all the screens on
our corridor.

Wait, wait, it's just jumped 10 minutes.
Rewind.

I don't understand.

OK. Play.

Here! See? 10 minutes!

OK, bring up the CCTV
on the underground

car park and the emergency stairs
at 9:24.

We need to get forensics
to check over all this property.

No, I don't understand!

Why have you let him come back
as S.I.O.?

He saved your life.

He's a hero to the guys out there.

But we know he's rotten.

Knowing's not the same as proving.

It's about time you pay a visit to
Lily-Anne Lau.

Lily-Anne Lau?

We need a physical record of what
went on between Harry and her father.

I keep thinking I'm seeing
Ben everywhere.

Is that weird?

No.

I've tipped off of me and mine advice
about the Green Dragon roulette tables.

What?

I'm not letting Lily-Anne Lau
just get away with this.

Hello. I'm Brett Stonewood.
Kate Olsen's boss.

In the past few months, Olsen has
just been working on one case.

If I'm honest, we've had concerns
about Kate for quite a while now.

What do you mean?

Kate's behaviour has been...

erratic.

This case started to consume her.

She started chasing down
obscure foreign leads,

sometimes punching in a week later.

So the fact she's missing
doesn't surprise or worry you?

I didn't say that.

Who's that? I know him.

Vincent Lermontov.

Yes. He's the former CEO of
the company Kate was investigating.

He died... two weeks ago?

By jumping off the needle building.

Yes.

Why would she investigate in him?

Vincent Lermontov was
a gold bullion dealer.

He bought and sold huge quantities
of gold.

Kate became convinced that...
he was too good at it.

But I'm guessing she didn't
convince you.

We work on evidence...
And...

there was none.

What does that mean
"too good at it"?

Kate thought that Lermontov's results
were beyond all probability.

That basically, Vincent Lermontov
was just... too...

Too lucky.

Who runs Lermontov's
International now?

His son, Paul Lermontov.

Kate had an appointment to meet him,
last night.

Just before she went missing.

I only found out about it today.

She never told me about it.

[Phone beeping]
Sorry.

I'm sorry,
I have to go to this meeting but...

you will keep me up to date, please?

OK?

Sir, madam.

This is the flat of someone
with no interest apart from their work.

One to use, one to wash.

Anything?

- She has type-I diabetes.
- What?

This is an emergency Click and go kit.

She's to maintain her glucose level
with regular carbs

or eat some sugar or she'll get woozy
and loose consciousness.

What happens if she doesn't have it?

She's in trouble.

- Fentanyl.
- Yeah!

Forensics found tiny traces
all over on Olsen's desk.

Serious as an anaesthetic,
you can get it on the black market.

Someone knocked her out.

We went to Olsen's flat.
We found syringes and cylinders.

We think she's prone
to hypoglycaemia.

If Olsen's glucose level drops
when she's under,

the kidnappers will have to act fast.

Maybe that's the point.

The perfect murder is a murder
we can't prove.

All they would have to do is deny her
any food, sugar and... just wait!

If that happened, it'd be very hard
to prove she didn't die naturally.

Can I get on with my job, please?

I thought you did this for fun though!

Listen, will you try to make sense of all
the charts and figures in Olsen's files?

I'll be next door if you need me.

Jesus!

24th of April 1986...

[Phone rings]

Harry?

Get on line.
I need you to look at something.

You're unbelievable.

Aaahhh!

Mum!

That looks very very similar.

Who's this dude?

He's a dead dude, Vincent Lermontov.
He's a gold bullion dealer billionaire.

Look at the dragons.

And the extra long yang line. It's
definitely the same Ming Yun bracelet.

You know what, Harry?
Now that I'm awake,

I'm 100% sure.
It's definitely the same bracelet.

Yeah. I thought so.

[Phone beeps]
Hold.

I gotta go. Anna's on the other line.
Bye.

Anna?

[Phone rings]

What have you got?

You can partially disable the F.R.S.A.
building from the cable room in the basement,

but it's not easily done.

Check the CCTV on the roads
out the Isle of Dogs.

If we're lucky, we might isolate
the vic in the same time frame.

Copy that.

There's a young woman. She says
she urgently needs to speak to Harry?

[Knock on door]

Oh, thanks for coming by!
She's really worried up.

What the hell happened?

She says she saw someone
in the street.

I... I don't know if she's lying...

Daddy! Daddy!

I saw a scary man looking at me!

So I hear! Alright! It's alright.

Where's Harry?

You've just missed him.

When will he be back?

I'm sure he won't be long.

I work with him.

So, hum... Why don't we start
with your name?

Eve.

She fell asleep holding my hand.

She always used to do that,
remember?

You really don't have to stay.

She won't wake up now.

Listen, I don't think
it's safe for you to stay here.

I don't think she saw anyone, Harry.
She just misses you.

I'll feel a lot better if I stay here.
I'll sleep in the armchair.

Our hero.

How do you know Harry?

I don't want to talk to you.
I need to see Harry.

Now.

Why don't you tell me
what the problem is, and I'll call him.

- You can't help me.
- Look, wait...

I can see you're in
some kind of trouble.

Let go of me now.

Tell him he doesn't have to believe
in me. He just has to believe in it.

Time's run out for me.

Who is this Eve?

No idea.

Well, she knew who you were.

I think I figured out what made Olsen
so obsessed with Vincent Lermontov.

Oh yeah?

The price of gold always goes up
when something very bad happens.

Like Tott(enham)
beating (Manchester) United?

No. Like wars, natural disasters,
big stuff!

These 3 dates are when Lermontov made
his biggest investments in gold.

Read them out.

21st of December 1979

3 days before the Soviets
invaded Afghanistan.

24th of April 1986

Chernobyl nuclear disaster.

10th of September 2001,
the day before 9/11!

Lermontov bought 100 million pounds worth
of gold, his biggest ever investment,

things worth 8 times
as much by the end of the year.

Olsen believed that Lermontov knew
these things were gonna happen?

If she did, then she really was crazy.
No-one could have known.

Let's go see the son and heir.

- Hello. D.I. Clayton.
- Good morning. Please.

Follow me.

Nice seagull!

It's an albatross, dummy.

Mr Lermontov will be with you
shortly.

Thanks.

He has the best view...

in the best city in the world.

I do, don't I?

Shame I don't appreciate it.
My eyes are hyper sensitive to light.

Have been since I was a kid.

Right...

So how do you live in the tallest building
in London with floor to ceiling glass?

This is my father's flat.

Your father died recently, didn't he?

On his 70th birthday.

He went up those stairs,
climbed onto a balcony and jumped.

Did you know my father,
detective Clayton?

No, I didn't.

Really?

I thought you must have met him.

We're here about Kate Olsen.
She went missing two nights ago.

Really?

You met with her that night.

What did she want to talk
to you about?

Kate Olsen was obsessed with my father
and his business,

to an almost pathological degree!

She wanted to speak to me about
the same thing that she always did.

Probability.

The probability that my father couldn't
be this successful.

Maybe she was right.

People like Olsen didn't understand

that the harder my father worked,

[Phone rings]
the luckier he got.

Excuse me.

Hello. Just give me a second.

That's a remarkable bracelet
you're wearing, detective.

It's... Tang dynasty, isn't it?

Hum...

So I've been told.

And where did you get such
an incredible piece?

I plunked down the wrong food market.

Your father had so much.

Why do you think
he felt the need to kill himself?

That's the thing about luck, Harry.

It always balances out in the end.

Anna, hi!
It's me again.

Just trying to make sure
everything is OK?

Hum... I'll try again later.
OK, bye.

Everything OK?

Daisy thinks she saw a man
outside the house last night.

What have you got?

We tracked this from one of the roads
out the Isle of Dogs.

Check the time line 42,
8 minutes after the black-out.

Was the SUV registered to an address?

Canal boat on Regent's canal.

[Glass shatters]

This is it!

I can't see anyone inside.

We have no warrant!

We have no time!

Kate?

Kate?

Close those.

Kate?

Kate?

Hand and leg ties cut.

She was here. Jesus!

What does insulin smell like?

Er... Band-Aids.

I don't know what that is.

Have a look through there.

Anything?

[Loud thumps on the roof]

What the hell is that?

There's someone on the roof!

What the hell?

Hey!

Hey!
Hey!

Jesus! We're on fire.
Check the windows!

She's locked up a chain ---

Harry! Do something!

What?

Harry!

Suri!

It's OK. Come on.

Come on!
We need to get you out of here now!

I've got you. Come on!

Oh! God! I've got you.

Sit here. Breathe. Breathe!

[Sirens approaching]

OK?

What exactly are you and your boss
asking me for, detective Orwell?

We're asking for your cooperation.

That is sweet.

But I think you're asking
for a little more than that.

If such a document existed...

showing the financial relations
between my father and Harry Clayton...

and I'm not saying it does,

how can you guarantee
it won't be used against me?

It would only be used as evidence in
an internal investigation into Clayton.

Nothing more.

- I have your word on that?
- Yes.

And there's no question of my father's
murder investigation ever being open again?

No.

Food for thought.

I have to see what I can find.

Oh hi, Anna! I'm just heading out.

- It's a very quick question.
- Sure.

How did we get Kevin Grey's case?

What do you mean?

Well, I'm just wondering who paid
for us to take him on?

Why does it matter? Clearer than that.
I expect Grey paid for himself.

I never thought he could afford it
by himself.

Well, I'll have a look
and get back to you on it.

It's that important.

Thank you, Nathan.

SOCOs are at the boat now.

Not that there's much left of it.

- You OK?
- Hum (yes).

For a moment there...
I thought that was it then...

Olsen found something up about
Lermontov that's worth killing for.

What then?
[Phone rings]

Sodium thiopental.

What?

The syringe you bumped at the canal
contained sodium thiopental,

which has a variety
of anaesthetic uses.

But forensics think the concentration
in the syringe is similar to that used

by the Soviets as truth serum.

Soviets?

They were interrogating her.

So we know they kept her alive.

Yeah, until they find out
what she knows.

Right, we're dealing with
a different operator here,

you know, someone
with serious military training.

...formerly in a relationship with Ms
Fenchurch... with the other victim Lau...

Hi there!

I just want to make sure that
Daisy is OK.

She's at my mum's.

You shouldn't be here on your own.

Well, you'd better come in then.

I spent the whole day worrying,

thinking that I should have been
here last night when Daisy got scared.

- You were.
- Yeah, but...

I mean I should have been here
with you, protecting my family.

I think I'm doing a pretty good job
at that myself, thank you very much.

Yeah, but you know what I mean.

Can we start all over again?

No, seriously.

I'm serious.

We can get it all back.

- How?
- I can get it all back.

I promise.

You were always short on self-belief.

True.

Why I fell in love with you
in the first place.

Yeah.

Listen, you should probably go.

- Yeah. Five minutes.
- Yeah.

What are you hiding, Kate?

[Phone beeps]

I gotta go back to work.

OK.

But...

when I'm done, I'll...
I'll come straight back and we can...

- Harry.
- spend proper time together.

Harry, Harry.

What do you think just happened?

What do you mean?

Well, do you think everything is
OK again between us?

Well, yeah, I mean...

What?
Because we went to bed together?

Well, why did you then?

Because I was lonely.

Well, me too. I mean,
we can move on from here...

Harry, nothing's changed!

We still have to move out
from this house on Monday.

You're still a compulsive gambler

who could lose everything that
Daisy and I ever had for ourselves.

You said you gotta go?

I met an old man

in Kirov who swears he knew
Vincent Lermontov

before he became Vincent Lermontov.

Vincent Lermontov is actually
Vincent Zolin,

a railway worker and hired hand for
the Kirov mob...

He killed a notorious Moscow KGB boss
when he was 23...

9th of April.

Went to see Brett Stonewood
at the Landor Hotel.

He told me my new information
about Vincent Lermontov was false.

He advised me strongly to take it
no further.

Stonewood brought a new F.R.S.A. agent
to our meeting.

Tall, bald, Russian accent.

I heard rumours that you'd given up
gambling.

That's true.

I have.

800.

Then you must be the ghost
of Harry Clayton.

Winning very big today.

Gambling's for losers.

That's why I've given up.

Can you beat a flush?

I've often heard it said.

Once you stop caring,

then, you can really start winning.

-

Harry, your money!

Burn it!

Stonewood was actively trying
to get her off the Lermontov case?

Yes, but she kept going regardless.

Still, he tried to intimidate her
by bringing a new F.R.S.A. agent,

some tall bald Russian guy.

Jesus! Where are you now?

Just outside the F.R.S.A.
I'm going in.

- Wait for me. I'm nearly there.
- There's no time.

Suri, I said, wait for me.

That's all I've been doing.

Suri?

Shit!

You lied to us.

- I told you everything you needed to know.
- No!

You deliberately withheld what Olsen
found out about Lermontov.

Police.

Kate Olsen's crazy theories
have no bearing on this at all.

It's why she was taken away
and you've known it all along!

That... is a very serious accusation
to lay at

a senior F.R.S.A. officer,
D.S. Chohan!

Excuse me, what do you...? Oh!

- Where is she?
- What?

Kate Olsen is about to die out there,
and you're an accessory to her murder.

- No.
- Who was the Russian bald man

you took to that meeting with Olsen?

I don't know. I was never told!

But he wasn't an F.R.S.A. officer,
was he?

- Was he?
- No.

Where is she?

I don't know, I promise!

You told him about Olsen's
hypoglycaemia, didn't you?

Explained that all they had to do is deny
her sugar and she would die naturally.

And then, when they dumped her,

it would look like poor mad
Kate Olsen had a tragic accident.

You have no evidence that I did
anything out the law.

You're under arrest.
Suri, grab his things.

I think Lau is gonna help us.

And did she give you the impression

this record existed between
Harry and Freddie Lau?

She hinted that this was just the start
of what she has on Clayton.

I mean this goes back a long way.

Where is Clayton?

He's questioning Brett Stonewood
in interview 1.

I've uncovered some files showing
he was complicit in Olsen's abduction.

Olsen was so paranoid she encrypted
all the intel she gathered on Lermontov.

I managed to decode some of it.

She certainly had plenty of information
to indict Lermontov.

Stonewood then handed Olsen to him on
a plate when she wouldn't drop the case.

Anything else on Olsen's whereabouts?

We just know they're interrogating
her somewhere,

trying to find out everything
she knows.

Our only hope is
they won't let her die

until they're sure
they have everything.

Well, dead or alive, she's probably
out the country by now.

Border controls have been on high alert
since the 999 calls.

They'd have to smuggle her out
another way.

Shipping containers.

Lermontov has a shipping company
called

Albatross International Freight.

Based at Canary Docks.

Services freight to Russia
and the Balkan states.

That's where Olsen is.

Get Clayton, get over there.

I'll sort a warrant.

Harry, how the hell are we going
to find her in here?

Harry, we can't just drive around
like this.

She's here somewhere, I know it.

Yeah, but where?

[Radio PA]
Harry. Come in, Harry.

Come on, come on! Where are you?

Harry,

We need to interview
all the crane drivers.

We haven't got time.

- Well, then what's your plan?
- I'm placing

my faith in a higher power.

Great! So you have no plan.

Come on, come on!
Christ! Where is she?

That's it!

I have a visual, stick with me.

Orwell, get her down!

Kate... Can you hear me?

She's alive?

Jesus!

What the hell? Eve?

She's alive.

Just.

Imagine my surprise.

I spent last three weeks
looking for you all over town.

So why don't you introduce yourself,

and say why you spent so much time
trying to meet me?

Who I am does not matter.

What really matter is
who are you

and why are you wearing
that bracelet.

Detective,

father,

ex-husband,

brother,

compulsive gambler...

And there was high hope
that you got the wrong man.

But you are wrong man.

She should never have given
that to you.

It is why she has to die.

- It's all her fault.
- NO!

Eve.

Eve.

You know so little about bracelet,
Harry.

What?

I can not kill her before I kill you.

Tell him why.

- Tell him!
- He won't understand.

Tell him.

Tell me! Eve, tell me.

I'm the only one
who can remove the bracelet.

Da.

You see it's too late for me
to just chop your hand off.

Because the bracelet is joined
to him now, isn't that right, Eve?

You're making a mistake.

It's not the real bracelet.

I thought you would say that.

This is why we're going
to test it out now.

Vincent used to play this a lot.

But then...

Vincent really was...
one hell of a lucky man.

Anyone can beat just one bullet.

Well, keep going, Kojak,
or you don't have the balls?

Oh I have balls.

But you have "ming yun" bracelet.

That's a cheap piece of tin!
It doesn't mean anything!

And what do you think saved
your dress rack, ha?

In that river?

Let's face it, Harry,

before you got bracelet,
you weren't very lucky man.

I don't feel very lucky now!

Vincent used to be a penniless worker
on Siberian railway.

But then one night,
he accept the contract

to kill one of most dangerous
men in Moscow.

But even Vincent didn't realize
that his... ultimate reward

would be Eve's mother coming
to visit him...

with that very same bracelet.

You've no idea what you're playing with,
Becker.

Which is why you're going
to burn in hell.

50-50.

This is where it gets interesting.

Believe in it.

That's the thing about luck.

- Daddy, daddy, I saw a scary man.

Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.
