Stan Lee's Lucky Man (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - A Twist of Fate - full transcript

I want you to become a mentor
for my outreach program.

ANA: A client of mine
was an inmate here.

He committed suicide.

Kevin Grey?

There's someone out there
who has a vast interest in all of this.

They are running it.

-

HARRY: Tim Larson owed Lily-Anne money.

I think this is enough to prove
that she ordered the hit.

Lily-Anne Lau,
I'm further arresting you

on suspicion of conspiracy
to murder Caleb Pursey.



KALEEM: You owe her.

What does that mean, Kaleem?

You're a family man.

Harry owes Lily-Anne Lau a lot of money.

I've heard that rumour.

POLICE AGENT: A package for the boss.

SURI: I'll take it to Winter.

HARRY: What's that?

EVE: My mother's Medicaid's file.
Maria Alexandri.

You were one of the detectives on it.

Nice place for a date.

I wanted to show you something.

An illegal cage fight.

It's a fixed fight.

What?

EVE: See the fighter in the red gloves?

His name is Flanagan.

He's gonna go down at the 3rd round.

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 of fighting
if he's gonna take him down?

I said I wanted to show you
something...

what that bracelet's capable of.

[BELL RINGS]

Don't think Flanagan is gonna last
till the 3rd round.

No, he's a good fighter.

Two years ago, he taught me how to fight.

Before he started fighting for this lot.

So you really think the bracelet

can change what's happening?

Even in sure things,
there's an element of chance.

[BOOING]

I did that?

Get your money.

HARRY: Forget the money.

I did that!

EVE: 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,

at a fixed roulette table.

Suri,

I didn't win at a fixed table.

You won 70,000 - two consecutive maximums,

on 2 spins of the wheel.

I burnt it.

[PHONE RINGS]

West 13.

On duty.

OK. We're on our way.

So, what you're gonna do
about that footage?

I'm still working that out.

So who is this Eve to you?

Just some girl I met at the roulette.

SURI: 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 that's because I thought that
the roulette table was rigged.

I know that whatever the truth is,

Winter would want
to nail me for it anyway.

Hey. You're the foreman?

Yeah.

Over there.

Jesus!

It hadn't been for the rats,
he would never have been found.

We demolish this building on Tuesday.

You're gonna have to stop all work

until our SOCO's have
everything they need.

I doubt deputy mayor
will adore that!

Deputy mayor?

The St-Pancras metro point
is being built here.

FOREMAN: Well, this better be.

Press call on Tuesday.

They're coming to watch and
blow this place up.

MEDICAL EXAMINER:
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,

but we've only just identified him
from his dental records.

The building he was found in
had been sealed off for the last 6 months.

I think he was moved there recently.

Just in time to be blowing up.

MED. EX.: The decomposition has
actually been interrupted.

I think he was moved from a
predominantly clay soil shallow grave.

There are still samples of the soil
on and inside his body.

Move to the vital organs,
he's 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.

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 MIA's.

You don't know that.

Yeah, who else could prep
a journalist so quickly?

Come on, let's go see Winter.

That's the deputy mayor!

Give them a minute.

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 the city
held hostage by fear.

His city.

Triads say... in Soho and Shoreditch,

murder in Hatton Garden,

voodoo mutilations!

You see how this plays
in the minds of the public?

- Yes.
- I want this witchcraft murder nailed,

ASAP.

Match your point: project is a major trial
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 made D.C.I.

Then what is it, Harry?

How does it get linked?

The so-called witchcraft killing
I'm investigating

and no-one else knows about it.

You really believe
the leak came from here?

HARRY: It's come from somewhere!

That's sort of the expectations to be
carried on your shoulders, Alistair.

-

[GOSPEL SONG]

-

How can I comfort our sister,
Marianne?

Fulfil the hole in our hearts

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?

What did they do to you?

[SHE CRIES]

I'm sorry to have to ask you this,

but we believe that Luke's kidney
was removed by the killer.

Can you share 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.

PASTOR: 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 the same racist stereotype?

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 I've offended you.
I've just...

I've a few more questions, please.

Could you tell us anything about
the day that Luke went missing?

What he was doing?
Where he might have been?

MARIANNE: It was February 14th,
Paradise.

We were meant to go to the cinema
that night.

But first, he was going to give blood
at the clinic in Peckham.

He never met me at the cinema.

I never saw him again.

He was gonna 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 h/h.

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-mortem.

Only 4 in a million people have it.

[PHONE BEEPS]

Some odds!

Ah no! No, no!

What's the matter?

Our forensics team have been
pulled out of the demolition site.

What?

Part of 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 out journalist Kelly Harrington.

[SUDDEN THUMP]

Hello?

Hello?

[GUN SHOT]

[2nd GUN SHOT]

[3rd GUN SHOT]

[HORN]

DEMOLITION WORKER:
What the hell?

How's it going?

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 2 hours
after we got to the body.

That's not my problem.

What you're asking is against
all journalistic practice.

Ah! Come on, Kelly!
It's no 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 our African immigrants.

Who do you know at City Hall?

What?

Someone at City Hall rang you
with the story, yes?

You know,
I came here without a lawyer,

to help with your questioning,

not to be harassed by this psycho!

You think your gunmen last night
sling to City Hall too?

Well, someone gave the order
to pull our SOCO's out.

Going to scoop lunch,
just let me finish.

I thought doctors couldn't help us.

He was.

But...

Dad's really busy with work and
he can't get any time off.

Poor dad!

He's alright!

And Daisy, 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 the Sierra Leone Health Agency?

Do you remember anyone
from the agency contacting you?

Yes. A doctor came to our house once.

I think Luke met him
on a Bombay blood on-line forum.

What was the doctor's name?

Doctor Marghai.

There's no Dr Marghai registered
with the NHS.

What about a charity called
African Health Union?

Wait!

It's nice to work with that guy, Alan.

I'll catch up with you later.

-

Jim Stepton!

Long time. Do you want a tip?

- Harry Clayton?
- 25 to 1.

Forget her past.

Worth putting some of that police
pension, no?

Hello.

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
10 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 had uncovered
straight down the toilet,

till it went cold.

Is that an accusation?

No, no, no. That'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 fell at 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.

TV: ...Forget her past
...

You let a murderer go, Jim.

I did wanna say thank you

for the way you've treated me
these last few days.

I'll remember it.

And give my regards
to your wife and daughter...

Ana and Daisy, isn't it?

Harry?

Crown Prosecution Service didn't think we had
enough evidence to make the charges stick.

But that's shite!

We have Lily-Anne's memory stick.

It clearly shows that Tim Larson
owed Lily-Anne 110,000 Pounds.

As you know, Tim Larson's still
maintaining that he killed Caleb Pursey

because he owed him money and
Pursey's 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 we have to work
per today is simple.

It's really easy to grasp.

There's questions of
your responsibility and community.

Jake,

can you tell me what you think's
gonna 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've 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 are the sewer
through which she contacts me.

You know you look a little stressed.

You care to a drink?

You want some minty?

That bitch threatened my family.

Now I want you to get 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.
Man of the law.

You know you don't mean that.

HARRY: Tell her.

Make her understand.

No-one comes near my family!

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.

Gordon.

It was Gordon.

See you and Frierson are friends again,
Alistair.

Smashing stuff!

What are you doing here, Harry?

Oh I just wanted the heads-up
on the new crime initiative for our city.

Reclaim the neighbourhood.

What does that mean exactly?

Means we're not longer
on the back foot to crime.

Brilliant!
London can sleep easily.

Don't you get tired
of playing the idiot?

Well, soon I'll 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?

But I draw so much strength
from my faith.

Always ever I've found
something more to believe in.

And I still obviously am.

[CLAPS]

HOST: Guests! Can we put
our hands together for our speaker?

The deputy mayor, Karl Frierson.

[APPLAUSE]

FRIERSON: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome

and thank you for your presence here,

at the launch of my new initiative:

Reclaim the neighbourhood.

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 the 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?

Chronic kidney failure.

FRIERSON: ...but, February the 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 the 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.

I'm sorry, I've never heard of it.

And I know nearly all the West African
aid agencies around here.

What about a doctor Marghai?

You've heard of a doctor Marghai?

No. I've never heard of him.

Is there somewhere else we can talk?

It is very important we find him.

He might be involved in a brutal murder
of a member of your community.

I think the charity you're looking for
no longer exists.

This fact sheet may help.

-

Ana.

Harry!

I didn't know you were here.

No, I wasn't invited.
I crashed this party.

Harry, this is Nikhail Julian,

the governor of White Cross prison.

Nice to meet you.

This is Harry Clayton.

We were just talking
about Ana signing up

to be a mentor in the prison's
outreach program.

FRIERSON:
Nikhail! 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 at MIA's.

Right.

It was the murder of...
Maria Alexandri.

It was never solved.

Afraid I don't remember it.

That way you've done great things since.

And terrific speech by the way!

Thank you.

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 tortured
in the long night of tortures,

guardians of a lucky bracelet.

Justifying why we were running again.

And I... grew resentful.

What is the 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 Ma.
HARRY: - Really?

I had enough of that crazy bullshit.

When I came back,

she was in a bad way,
delusional.

She kept telling me that
our 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 3 years, I've been
tracking a man called Golding.

- Golding?
- I'm certain.

He owed my mother debts.

This name is a cover.

I've never been able to find out
who he really is.

That's why he was a diamond thieves.

You'll have him.

Her name is Grace.

She came to this refuge
a few weeks back,

just after it happened.

She's my cousin.

Did you have an operation

to have a kidney removed?

SURI (whispering): Oh no!

I'm so sorry.

Can you tell me
who did this to you?

GRACE: These are bad people.

They lied to me.

Cheated me.

Did Dr Marghai do this?

Marghai, yes!

Where is he, Grace?

It's a private health clinic.
Corinth Road.

Marghai is only there
a few days a month.

Flies in from Freetown.

Corinth Road
Health Centre

DESK CLERK: Can I help you?

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'm desperate.

He has to help me.

I'll see if my manager
has any information on this doctor.

- What's 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 5 weeks ago.

They want me back here at 9 tonight
to see the doctor

then he'll decide whether
he's treating me tomorrow.

Marghai's in the country?

No-one mentioned his name,
but they've taken blood from me.

No, this is the place.

He's gonna turn up here tonight.

SURI: We need to do this properly
through Covert Ops.

I don't feel comfortable
winning it like this.

HARRY: Now, you know how long
that's gonna 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 them!

SURI: Why the hell would you hurry
while I've been tracking

all this down by myself?

I'm withholding evidence
that would 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?

Mix of... boarding schools.

My mum and dad left enough money

for my guardians to...
send me away.

It's not a sob story!
It's just how it was.

I'm amazed you turned out
half-way sane!

That's not even the good half!

What you're doing up, young lady?

It's Saturday.

You need to go back
to bed right now, please.

God!

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Thought you weren't gonna do this.

Someone tugged to Luke's kidney
and used Marghai to get it.

This may be our only chance
to find out who.

Thank you.

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.

[NURSE LOCKS THE DOOR]

[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?

[PHONE BEEPS]

Hi! This is Harry Clayton...

[DOOR UNLOCKS]

Why aren't you undressed?

The doctor is here.

Don't be afraid.

You're in very good hands.

DAISY: You've just abandoned us.

You're just letting us go!

Tell me where are you now?

I don't know!

Think I'm at the bus
outside your house.

- What number?
- The 29.

Its stop's 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.

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 just a check-up!

You're very lucky. I fly to...

Ana? I know where Daisy is.

Thank God! Where is she? Where?

She got on a number 29 bus.
She got out at Turnpike Lane.

She's outside the Prince of Wales pub.

Turnpike Lane... I'm nearby.
I'll be there in 10.

Get there as quick as you can.
Call me the minute you have her, OK?

The Prince of Wales pub.

[PHONE BEEPS]

Oh Suri!

[DOOR RING]

Check that.

It's a courier.

Scalpel.

[LOUD THUMP IN THE DOOR]

Police!

Suri!

Suri!

HARRY (Whispering):Oh my god! My god!

Oh my god! Suri !

ANA: Daisy!

Daisy!

HARRY: Alright!

- I'll take it from here.
- OK, sir.

In!

HARRY: You're 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!

Jesus Christ!

It was Frierson, wasn't it?

Wasn't it? Answer me, Marghai!

Stop!

Karl Frierson has h/h blood.

Luke's kidney was for him, eh?

[HORNS]

Yeh-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 make me kill him.

FRIERSON: I like to think good London
is a city built by dreamers.

The people who believe
...in dreams.

And our iconic buildings are not only
part of our skyline,

they're part of our collective
identity as London is.

A soon as I press this button,

we'll start work
on another dream,

the Metro Point project.

Alright! Everybody ready?

Here it goes!

[BOOM]

What can I do for you, detective?

I wanted 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 the 15th
at the Cardwell clinic,

you received, yes?

Yes.

You have a very rare blood type,
h/h.

And only an h/h kidney would do.

On the 14th of February last year,

a young man called Luke Bangura
went missing.

He also has h/h 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 h/h 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 h/h.

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 have 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 h/h on-line forum, didn't you?

LAWYER: Unless you intend
to charge my client,

I'm advising him not to 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 rubbles,

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 here.

No, you're not.
My office, detective Clayton!

- What?
- Now, Clayton!

Here!

I have a strong case.

I have Dr Marghai!

Who has 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.

Did you get him?

Yes.

Good!
