Stan Lee's Lucky Man (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - My Brothers Keeper - full transcript

Harry's brother Rich wakes up, covered in blood, to find his girlfriend Barbara shot dead with one of his antique guns. Though ordered off the case Harry, helped by Eve, determines to prove that he has been framed and finds a connection to Sasha's minder Collins. Confronting Collins Harry obtains evidence of his guilt but, with Suri now beginning to believe that may have been involved in Lau's murder, he is himself framed for another murder. Anna meanwhile tells Nikhail that she is interested in unmasking Golding - and he appears to have the same intention.

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.

What did he want?

POLICEMAN: A package for the boss.

SURI: What did you do with the money

you won at the Green Dragon casino?

HARRY: I burnt it.

HARRY: Why are we meeting here?
RICH: I found an expert.

I see you've noticed the symbols.
It's just like yours.

Look at the dragons.



It's definitely the same
ming yun bracelet.

[GUNSHOTS]

COLLINS: You shove
a British policeman under a bus,

and there are consequences.

You let me take care of it.

I'll tell you what, Kaleem...

If Harry Clayton comes sniffing
around, you tell him nothing.

My employer thanks you.

This is my mother's murder case file.

You were one of the detectives on it.

HOST: Can we put our hands together
for the deputy-mayor, Karl Frierson?

I want you to come in for questioning.

It's in connection
with the murder of Luke Bangura.

WINTER: That's enough!



Sorry, Karl,
there's been a misunderstanding.

He is rotten!

For the last 3 years, I've been
tracking a man called Golding.

I'm certain...
he ordered my mother's death.

The murder of Maria Alexandri...

Harry was right.

The Alexandri case
could have been solved.

[HIGH-PITCHED NOISE & DRIPPING LIQUID]

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

[SIGH]

Babs?

Original air date: 2016, March 11
Sub by mielb

Yeah, alright. Fine.

This is my last bet.
Let's make it 100 for the second.

Nice knowing you too, Seamus.

What have I missed?

- You're sure you're with us now?
- Yes.

Female, IC1, fatal gunshot wound.

Any witnesses?

A neighbour heard the shot but
was too scared to investigate.

But she remembers a boyfriend
coming round earlier in the night.

Loud music and furniture banging
just before.

Domestic gone horribly wrong?

Most likely except
the weapon is very unusual.

In what way?

It's an antique flintlock pistol.

My guess is it's Napoleonic.

Very rare.

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]

Excuse me.

What's the matter?

It's my brother's girlfriend!

Is that... weapon
from Richard's shop, Harry?

I'm gonna find him.

Rich?

Your guys are there already?

Yeah.

- I didn't do anything, Harry.
- I know.

Listen to me.
This is really important.

You need to tell me exactly
what happened.

Some guy... came round for dinner.

Hum... Duncan...

Duncan Ortiz.

He'd been in... contact with Babs.

He said he got something
he wanted to show her.

She was really excited.

Some Tang dynasty dragon or something...

Then what?

Then I woke up...
and I was holding the flintlock like...

- Babs was dead.
- That's alright.

You tell them just what you told me,
word for word.

It's gonna be OK.

So how did Harry react?

It's his brother's girlfriend, so...

The task is gonna be
difficult for him.

How about you?

Sir?

Well... Orwell's gonna run it,

but I'd still like you
to be the second on this.

Oh?

But I understand if you feel
too close to it.

And because of your...

your connection with Harry.

No. It's OK.

I'll do it.

You'll be OK.

- I'll see you in a few hours.
- Right.

I'll take it from here, Harry.

- Harry, I...
- Come here.

OK.

OK, a few details and...

we'll get you a strong coffee, yeah?

So, er...

Orwell's working it.

With D.S. Chohan.

I'm glad that's someone I can trust.

So am I.

Harry,

I'm afraid you're just gonna have
to let them get on with it.

Right.

Do let them get on with it, Harry.

We found this...
in Miss Haleton's bedside drawer.

What is it?

GHB. Liquid ecstasy.

Has your fingerprints all over it.

Can you explain that?

No.

Carry on, Mr Clayton.

What happened next?
You were drinking and then?

I remember the door bell... ringing.

Barbara went and answered it.

Must have been Ortiz.

What did he look like?

Tall.

Tall? That's it?

That's all I remember.

I remember... he and Babs talking about
the Tang years stuff,

and then they...
they looked in a book together.

And you definitely don't remember
arguing with Miss Haleton?

No. We didn't argue!

Well, you're maintaining that
you didn't shoot Miss Haleton, so

why run away from the scene
as if... you did?

I was pa... panicked. I was terrified!

I went to find my brother.

The pistol... is a flintlock antique
from your shop, isn't it?

Yes.

How did it get
in Miss Haleton's apartment,

if you didn't bring it with you?

I don't know.

It should have been in my lock-up.

I rotate the stock if it isn't selling,

and the flintlocks had been sitting
on the shelf for months.

They come as a pair.

Go to the lock-up.

They must have been stolen.

You... you'll find fingerprints...
or... or something.

Is that the ballistics report on Rich?

You've read it already, haven't you?

Oh, Harry!

The gunpowder residue found on Rich was
clustered mostly around his right hand.

I know how to read a ballistics report.

Rich is left-handed.

Someone must have...
put the gun in his hand

and forced him to fire it.

Or maybe he used both hands

and his right hand took
most of the residue.

That's unlikely!

You know being anywhere near this
will compromise your brother's case!

You won't help him.
You'll hurt him.

Suri, he's left-handed.
You understand the gunpowder residue

matters so much more than
what was clearly in his hand.

You're gonna just keep
going round like that?

Suri, please.

Chohan!

Give me some room, Harry, please!

- Harry's bothering you?
- No.

You think I don't he's monitoring
every detail of this.

It's his brother.

Suri, you're a smart detective.

You don't need Harry Clayton
doing your thinking for you.

Now, look at this.

This is the first time
CCTV captures Richard Clayton,

about 5 minutes from Haleton's flat.

Just give it a second.

SURI: - He changed direction.
- No.

This is 10 minutes later.

SURI: He went back for his jacket.

Not so panicked after all, eh?

It's not good, Harry.

We're gonna see to that.
What about the ballistics report?

Wouldn't convince a jury.

Suri's right.
Any gunpowder residue is enough.

He needs something to back up his story,

something conclusive to prove
that this other person was there.

Yeah, well, I don't think that
finding this other person

is top of Orwell's agenda.

What? You blame him?

Would you believe Rich
if he wasn't your brother?

That's not helping.

It's how they're thinking, Harry.

It's how the evidence
is making them think.

Good god almighty!

I'm sorry.

How is he coping?

He's not.

I'd better get back. Ciao.

JOSIE: What's Rich meant to have done?

SURI: I can't tell you that.

This is where the Napoleonic guns are.

They haven't been checked out.

Do you know if...
Rich had any ammunition for these guns?

What?

I don't know.

You knew the guns weren't here!

SURI: Steve!

This is from the London
Museum of Chinese History.

Haleton was a consultant there.

Well, there's your motive.

He stole this. She found out.

He stopped her from telling anyone.

JOSIE: You think Rich shot Babs?

No. Suri, Rich would never do
anything like that.

ORWELL: The question is just
when we introduce this.

And his testimony.

What's that?

I think you should follow Winter's
advice and leave this to us, Harry.

It's a Ming dynasty vase,

stolen from the Museum
of Chinese History,

recovered from Rich's lock-up.

This is bollocks!

Suri, can I have 5 minutes, please?
- We're busy!

Don't be a bigger arsehole
than you're already are!

- Suri?
- 5 minutes.

He's being set up.

Why?

I don't know.

Please! What about this guy, Ortiz?

There's only one Duncan Ortiz
in the UK.

He lives in Sunderland.
He's 84 years old...

and he's just had hip surgery.

Whoever is doing this to him
wouldn't use their real name anyway!

I have to look at the facts.

There's no forensic evidence

anyone else was in that flat
or handled that gun.

You know Rich!
You spent time with him.

He's not even a thief,
never mind a murderer!

Rich isn't gonna murder someone
over a freaking vase!

Yes, I did go back...
but to get my coat.

My phone was in my coat.
I needed to call Harry!

ORWELL: So you calmly went back
into the scene of the crime

to retrieve a phone...

and even then,
you don't call the police?

My brother is the police!

FEMALE VOICE: Ah! Let go! Go!

No! Please!

Miss! Miss!

Someone... Someone knocked me down!
He stole my phone!

Could you describe him?

Yes.

That's right, I think I...

I hit my-my head...
quite hard when I...

close... Oh shit!

I feel really stupid
doing that to you.

No worries.

Mr Clayton, we've got your prints
on the murder weapon

that came from your shop,

ballistic evidence of you
firing the gun,

GHB in your blood stream,

CCTV evidence of you returning
CALMLY to the scene...

I wasn't that calm!
I wasn't in my right mind!

Surely, you can see that!

A Ming-era antiquity stolen from
Miss Haleton's work in your lock-up.

None of which you can explain.

I didn't kill her, Suri.

It's not enough for you to say it,
Mr Clayton.

You've given us nothing
to make us believe you!

You have to believe me!

[SIGH]

No, I don't, Mr Clayton.

I don't know what happened with you
and Barbara Haleton last night.

Nor do I know what went
through your mind the moments

before you pulled that trigger.

Or that the GHB you'd both taken

had pushed you into an altered state.

Or if it'd just enhanced the feelings
of hatred you had for her already.

No, no, no. That's not true.

I... I loved her!

But ballistic evidence tells me
you did pull that trigger

and I don't think you've already been
denying that,

SURI: - have you?
- I don't know what happened!

Listen,
an early confession will help, Rich.

It can significantly affect
the back-end of your sentence.

Gonna give you some time
to think about it.

You were excellent in there.

He's gonna crack by tonight.

Harry.

Check page 89 for prints.

Will do.

After you, darling.

We've actually just managed
to place a former inmate at a...

2 Michelin-star restaurant.

Not bad for a works canteen, eh?

[SIGH]
There's something I should tell you.

I had an ulterior motive
for agreeing to be a mentor here.

Well, I was rather hoping
you'd say that.

I'm serious.

Kevin Grey.

I need to know what happened to him.

And? What you've found out?

Another prisoner gave me a name.

And the name they gave you...
was Golding, yes?

I've heard that name too.
I'm not stupid, Anna.

You don't usher in one of the best
bloody lawyers into your prison

when they've just lost a client in there

without expecting they will ask
some questions.

You know how proud I am
of the work we're doing here.

But White Cross is still White Cross.

There are serious problems here,

just like in every other prison
in the country.

But you can't expect me
just to let it rest.

Of course not.

I just don't want you to feel
that you're alone in this.

I want to find out who Golding is

just as much as you do.

Great, that's great.

Thank you.

Good.

So... what's Daisy up to this evening?

She's at a sleepover.

So why don't you come over?

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello?

OK. I'll have a look. Thanks.

-

-

-

-

-

HARRY: I know who's behind all this.

Charles Collins.

Golding.

What can you tell me about them?

Who?

My brother is going to jail
for a murder he has nothing to do with.

Give me something on Collins.

I know you don't wanna see
my brother hurt.

I don't know who you mean, honestly.

[PHONE RINGS]

COLLINS: Hello Kaleem.

Clayton knows your name.

How would you know that?

Just stopped me in the street.

And you thought
the best course of action

would be to call my private number
directly afterwards?

No, no, no. He's gone.
Sir, this line is completely secure.

Goodbye Kaleem.

Shit!

[PHONE RINGS]

Hold on.

I'll be a minute.

Harry! I think they're gonna charge me.

Do you recognize this man?

Sir, you can't talk to him.

- That's him.
- Who?

Ortiz! That's Duncan Ortiz.

OK. Hang in there. Alright?
I'm gonna get you out of here.

Everyone says I should confess.

- Don't confess. You're innocent.
- Sir, please!

- Whatever you do...
- What the hell...

is going on here?
Pete, get him in there!

- Alright.
- Say nothing, alright?

- Suri, we have to...
- How could you do this?

I follow the man who did this
to Rich and Babs.

I just needed Rich to confirm it.
He has.

This is him.

What are you talking about?

Look at him.

Do you recognize him?

This is the guy that was working
for Sasha Terekhova,

the odd, remember?

Charles Collins.
He's ex-military, ex-MI6.

He now owns a private security firm.

He killed Babs and framed Rich.

How did you figure this out?

Did Rich, in the interview, mention

anything about looking at an...
an art book

when Ortiz was at Babs' flat?

Yes, of course he did.

Charles Collins print's on page 89,

it's got a picture
of a jade dragon on it.

He's in the system.

ABH, 10 years ago, suspended sentence.

And where did you find this book?

At the crime scene. Suri...

He's my brother. I've no choice but
to do everything I can to...

No, you do have a choice.

You're just too far gone to make it!

I don't care! It's him.
I know it. It's the truth.

The truth? Jesus, Harry,

you haven't told me the truth
for months now!

Everything you do these days
breaks down any procedure

- I'm supposed to work on.
- Rich is innocent!

Look at the amount of evidence
against him!

Charles Collins is capable
of arranging all that.

CPS have just approved our case.

Richard's gonna be charged
in the morning.

What?

You would have charged him too

if you were still the cop
I started with.

Well... We all change.

[PRISONERS SHOUTING TO EACH OTHER]

[SECURITY PORTAL BEEPS]

Sir! Excuse me, sir. Excuse me.

Police! Out of the way!
- Sir! Sir!

- Police! Look! Look!
- Sorry.

I think we've got rather interesting
solutions for you.

Well, I bloody hope so.

The Minister of State is absolutely
losing her mind.

Mr Collins, Mr Under-Secretary,
happy to meet you.

Personally, I'm finding it a bit sad

that our farming works
under mercenaries.

Charles!

Oh, hum... Combat zone...
protective security, that's it, eh?

[LAUGHS]
I'm so sorry, David.

Could you give us just a moment?

Yes, of course, sir.
I'll... see you in the Commons.

5 minutes honestly. Robert.

Well, well, well!

This is a step-up from guarding all
the Corp brats, isn't it, Mr Collins?

Or is it Golding? I'm confused.

You know there's no need
to follow me around.

You could just make an appointment.

I tend not to make appointments.
It sort of ruins the surprise.

- What's the surprise?
- Barbara Haleton's murder.

See, I believe someone's already been
charged with that, haven't they?

How do you know that?

Because information is
how I make my living.

Oh, so the killing,
that's just a hobby then?

Why are you here, Harry?

I have proof that places you
at the scene of Ms Haleton's murder.

I'm gonna bring you in for it.

Really?

Why haven't you done it already?

Is it because you're a rogue
police officer with no remit on this?

And if you arrest me, your superior
will almost certainly suspend you?

Or have I got that wrong?

It's just a matter of time.

But how much time?

See, your brother is already
in White Cross prison.

And I believe that can be
a very dangerous place indeed.

I know who you are.

I know what you really want.

My brother has nothing to do with this.
Leave him out of it.

We should talk,
but... not here.

Where then?

After my meeting
with the Under-Secretary,

let's meet at the Dome.

Just you and I.

Say, 7 tonight, at the Dome?

It's a date.

What's this?

Something I should have given you
a while ago.

It's about Harry.

WINTER: So Harry wins 2 maximums
in a row at Lau's casino.

SURI: Yes.

What are the odds on that?

1225 to 1.

WINTER: So it's fixed.

SURI: He says it wasn't.

And all this on the night Lau died.

Harry was there.

What are you gonna do, sir?

Nothing yet.

But it does prove
what I've suspected all along.

Harry's connected to Lau's
criminal network

and it is clearly some sort of payoff.

But if we are going to arrest Harry,

we're gonna need something
more concrete.

Something that shows how deep

Harry goes into all this.

LILY-ANNE:
I know what Kaleem looks like.

Him.

That's right.

Why?

Loose lips sink ships.

And Kaleem's lips are
very loose indeed.

But...

Do you like him?

I'm afraid there's not much room

in our business for sentiment,
Lily-Anne.

Kaleem has to go.

And we need you to prove your loyalty

by taking care of this yourself.

You wanted a seat
at the big boys' table,

and we made that happen.

I'll say this much for your father,

God rest his soul,

he had balls.

The future's arrived, Lily-Anne.

Maybe you're a part of it
or you're not.

Sir, London is under siege.

And I know who's behind it.

A man called Golding.

And who's he?

It's a pseudo name used
by Charles Collins.

He's an ex-soldier, ex-spook

and he's now running London
as the ultimate black op.

Why you're telling me this now?

Because Collins, Golding,
whatever you wanna call him,

framed my brother for murder.

And why would he do that?

Because he knows I'm after him.

And he wanted leverage over me.

No, I... I don't follow.

Anything can happen to Rich
inside White Cross prison,

the same as they did to Kevin Grey

and I'm not there to protect him.

Ah, so you're here to ask me
to get your brother released.

My brother is innocent!

I'm here to ask you
for a little time

so I can put a case together
against Collins.

Your brother's already been charged,
Harry,

- if I'm gonna get him...
- Ask about Collins.

This man is responsible for everything
that is going wrong in our city

and we can take him down... together!

He wants me to meet him later.

Cover me with a surveillance team.

Listen to our conversation with
parabolics. I can get him to talk.

I can't be involved in this.

Why? Because of Frierson?

Sir, Frierson is connected!

He's on the board of Collins' company.

They're not even hiding it.

Karl Frierson is pressurizing you

to stop a crime wave
that he's involved in!

This is an impossible situation, Harry!

If you want your brother to be released,

then I need evidence and that evidence
can not come from you!

Right! Right.

So help me convince Suri.

She can find this. She just needs
pointing in the right direction.

I don't rate your chances of convincing
D.S. Chohan to do anything.

However, despite all that,

I'm gonna just greatly look
into Charles Collins.

Thank you. Thank you.

But I don't think you're gonna be around
long enough to see it through.

Eve?

I know who Golding is.

I'm gonna meet him at the Dome.

[PHONE RINGS]

[PHONE RINGS]

- Hello?
- Harry?

Rich?

I've been told to tell you
that there's a change of plans.

What?

Collins will meet you
on the other side of the river.

Where?

Royal docks.
You can take the cable car.

OK. Don't worry.

Don't do it!

Rich, I'm OK. Rich?

Rich?

[PHONE RINGS]

Eve.

I've got your message.

Yeah. Change of plan.
I'm going to Royal docks.

And you're just gonna meet him.
This is what he wants.

He's going to try and kill you.

I have no choice.

You're walking right into his trap!

He's got my brother.

You can't count on the bracelet
to protect you, Harry.

It doesn't work like that.

(Like) fish in a barrel.

[SILENT RIFLE SHOT & METALLIC THUD]

[SILENT RIFLE SHOT]

Eve!

Eve!

Come on!

Move! Please! Move! Move! Move!

- Get down! Down!
[PASSERSBY SHOUT IN FEAR]

Ahhh!

-

- Hello?
- Mr Linton?

Yes?

It's Detective Superintendent Winter.

What can I do for you?

I'm e-mailing you a photo
I'd like Dr Marghai to look at.

I can arrange that. May I ask why?

I'd like to know if he can identify
this man

as the person who forced him to operate
on Luke Bangura.

Get the murder charged down to
manslaughter.

I'll be very happy to let the court know

how much the police appreciate his...

cooperation and assistance.

OK. Send it over.

- Will do. Goodbye.
- Bye.

[GLASS SHATTERS]

Charlie?

Hum. What time is it?

I'm not gonna hurt you.

Where's Charlie?

But you need to do exactly what I say.

-

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello?

COLLINS:
Detective Superintendent Winter?

Speaking.

I have some information
about Detective Clayton

that you might find interesting.

Is that loaded?

No.

But this is.

Proper alarm that you've got upstairs!

Where's Freya?

She's fine. She's just a bit tied up.

Are those the overalls you wore
when you killed Babs?

I bet they are.

I bet those are her bloodstains.

And I bet that somewhere in those
fibres, along with plenty of your DNA,

there's the discharge gunpowder
from when you put the pistol

in my drugged brother's wrong hand,

put his finger right on the trigger
and pulled.

Where's Eve?

You can't hurt her, you know?

She's the only person who can put
the bracelet on you.

No.

No?

I'm not who you think I am.

I'm merely a soldier...
following orders.

Really?

I'm not Golding.

Who gave you the orders?

They were stupid.

They should have known I'd be protected.

Pick up the bag. I'm taking you in.

There was a lad in my regiment.

We called him "Danger Dave".

He was a... mad little bastard
from... Derby, I think.

The only guy we had in Sangin who could

match the Afghans for sheer bloody guts.

Rocket fire, bullets...
He couldn't care less.

He was too brave if anything.

Time after time, he'd pop up.

He put his head where it shouldn't be.

And he was gone away with it.

That's the thing about...
19 year olds, isn't it?

When they think they're immortal.

And then,

one day,

when things got really nasty,

he got his head blown off,

just like that.

So... for me,

personally,

the way I see it,

I don't care what kind of jewellery
you've got.

Everyone's luck... runs out...
in the end.

Right.

I just got off the phone
with the magistrate.

Based on what you gave me earlier,

and an anonymous tip-off I've received,

we got a ticket to search Harry's flat.

You're coming with us?

Of course!

Police! Nobody moves!

Entrance's clear.

Kitchen's clear.

The bath's clear, sir.

Well, let's start the search.

[POLICE SIREN IN THE DISTANCE]

Huh!

Sir!

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