Stan Lee's Lucky Man (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - The House Always Wins - full transcript

-

Whoa!

Becker, look him in the eye
when you kill him

or the bracelet will avenge him.

[GUNSHOT]

Eve?

You go. I'll deal with this.

FRIERSON: You're delusional
and when this farce is over,

I will make it my personal mission
to have you removed from duty.

That's enough!

Sorry, Karl,
there's been a misunderstanding.



He is rotten!

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

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

Harry was right.
There was a suspect.

The Alexandri case
could have been solved.

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

ballistic evidence of you firing it.

I don't know what happened.

- Harry, I...
- Come here.

HARRY: I have proof that places you
at the scene of Miss Haleton's murder.

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

I'm not who you think I am.

- You know who that is?
- No.

- You don't think Harry did this?
- I don't think anything yet.



But you know Harry's involved
in something.

You're the one who brought me
the casino tape.

Never underestimate
what a desperate man will do.

[SIREN WAILING]

You ever seen anything like this?

SURI: Never.

Who made the call to MIS?

That was erm... sourceless.

The important thing now is,
where's Harry.

Speak of the devil!

What's going on?

What are you doing with a man's head
in your freezer, Harry?

Original air date: 2016, March 18

ANNA: I really do have to go.

Will you come back tonight?

I don't know.

Maybe.

[PHONE RINGS]

- Suri, is everything alright?
- Anna,

we arrested Harry last night.

What?

What for?

For murder.

ANNA: That's insane.

SURI: I thought you should know
straight away.

We're about to interview him.

With the duty solicitor?

Yes.

OK, thanks. Thanks for calling me.

[SIGH]

- Is that Harry?
- Yes.

Can you get me a taxi?

Sure.

Can you identify the man
in this photograph?

I believe this is the man that kidnapped
Kate Olsen and tried to kill her.

And do you know this man's name?

Becker.

I think his name's Becker.

WINTER: And how do know that...
he kidnapped Olsen?

He was there... the night
we found her at the Docks.

I don't remember any description
of this man

from your report.

Could somebody fetch that for me?

The container where Kate Olson was held
was being loaded onto a lorry.

I chased the fork-lift driver
between the container stacks

and that's when this man appeared
from nowhere and assaulted me.

What happened next?

When I came to, they were gone.

D.S. Chohan and D.I. Orwell
were both present

at the Docks.

Did either of them see... this man

or witness him assaulting you?

No.

Chohan and Orwell were both
inside the container with Olsen.

Thanks.

This man is not in his report.

So Canary Docks was the first time
you saw this man..

Becker?

Yes, the first and last time.

Our officers were unable to find you
at the Docks that night.

They made several attempts
to contact you,

but you were off-radar for 12 hours.

Yeah, I'd been knocked unconscious.

You know, I was disorientated,

when I got up, I drove away...

I was shattered,

so I stopped and...
and I slept in the car.

My radio was off.

Forensics believe this man died
three weeks ago.

That's about the same time
as Canary Docks.

I didn't do this, Alistair.

He's lying.

Did you have anything to do
with this man's death, Harry?

No.

Who told you to look
inside my freezer?

You know I won't be answering
that question.

I'm a murder detective.

If I was gonna kill someone,

do you not think I'd do a better job
than store his head in my freezer?

I'm being set up...
the same way my brother was.

I'm being targeted by Golding
because I got too close to him.

I've just recovered some evidence.

It's a set of overalls
belonging to Charles Collins.

I am sure it will place him at the scene
of Barbara Haleton's murder.

You're not a detective at present,
Harry.

It's in the bag I gave to D.S. Chohan
on my arrest.

Please, Alistair, test it.

It will prove my brother's innocence

and lead us to Golding.

- Interview suspended at 0650.
- What?

No. Wait. Listen.

What are you d...?

Alistair, a murder case
I was involved in, a long time ago...

Maria Alexandri.

Pull up that case.

That will show where it all started
involving Frierson.

Maria Alexandri!

Well, he's clearly lying about what
happened between him and this dead man.

You were on Olsen.

- Did you come across this man Becker?
- No.

And do you believe Harry's story
that he might have kidnapped Olsen?

If this man did kidnap her,

I don't know why Harry never
mentioned it to me before.

- So you think he's lying.
- Maybe,

but I don't know why.

Because he's a gambling addict...
with crushing debts,

who's already in up to his neck
over this Lau murder.

I think we still need to check out
his story about Becker.

And send the evidence he's claiming
to have found to the lab.

ORWELL:
This bag evidence is a smokescreen.

It's just Harry covering his tracks.

We need to thoroughly check out
his story.

We need more than this
to go to the CPS.

I want to keep a 24 hour guard
on Clayton's flat.

OK, no problem, Sir.

Hi, mum.

Listen, something's come up.

Can you hang on to Daisy
for another couple of hours?

Yes.

I won't be long.

OK, great.

Thanks. Good-bye.

Alistair!

Shit!

Can you wait there for 5 minutes?

Anna... So you've heard about...

What the hell's going on?
Harry's one of your own.

You know I can't talk
about an ongoing investigation...

- Cut the crap, Alistair.
- I have no choice.

Harry isn't capable of murder.

Look, Anna, I...
I have to get back to work.

Do you think it's a coincidence

that his own brother was set up
on a murder charge just days ago?

We charged Richard based on solid...

I'm trying to stop you
making the same mistake again.

Harry has been investigating

a very serious criminal
called Golding.

You don't think he could conceivably
have set all this up?

I have no evidence that this man
even exists...

- or has anything to do with this.
- But he exists, OK?

The Governor of Whitecross
knows all about him.

I've had it firsthand
from one of the prisoners there.

Why aren't you looking into that?

It still doesn't affect Harry's case.

See you later, Anna.

FRIERSON: How's the investigation
into Clayton going?

ORWELL:
I'd say it was in the balance.

Well, you know
I was a detective myself

and I still maintain
some of my contacts from that time.

- Informants.
- Why would you do that?

Well, my brief is...
to police the Police.

And the best way to do that

is to understand
what's really happening out there.

From all sides.

I've had some... information

from one of my old sources.

Well, from what I hear,
this Becker was a nasty piece of work.

He had a personal grudge...
against Clayton...

and Harry took the necessary action.

I need physical evidence,

something more substantial
to take to the CPS.

I might have something for you.

Chohan, it's Orwell.

We've had an anonymous call.

A headless body discovered
on the Victoria Canal near Angel.

I'm heading there now.
Call me back.

[RADIO CHATTER]

- Is it our guy?
- Yes, sir.

FORENSIC:
We found this next to the body.

Bag it.

So, Harry's prints were on the knife?

Yeah, and blood.

They're just running
a DNA comparison on Becker.

Cause of death?

A single gunshot wound to the chest.

The head was removed post mortem.

Also...

found this in his pocket.

Harry and Anna's old address.

It doesn't strike you as odd
that we've had

two tip-offs
in the space of 24 hours?

Yeah... this er...
There's no doubt someone is...

screwing Harry over,

but we have more than enough
to charge him.

Harry is lying about Becker, OK?

They have a history that goes
way beyond Kate Olsen's kidnapping.

Yeah.

Well, he'll be remanded in custody
just like his brother.

HARRY: Is the evidence
from Collins' bag being analysed?

Yes.

Harry...

They're gonna charge me.

- Yeah.
- I know.

Come on, sir.

I still have faith in you, Suri.

Suri, we've just had a message
from St Francis' Hospital.

Kate Olsen has woken up

and you can talk to her
tomorrow morning.

Come on, sir.

I understand.

I'm just not sure it's a good idea

for the firm, or for you,
to get involved in this.

Harry just needs somebody who can get
these allegations thrown out

and that's you.

Can I ask you a difficult question?

Yes.

Are you sure about Harry?

- Are you sure he's not cap...
- Oh Nate, don't be ridiculous!

This is Harry.
Of course he's not capable of this!

OK.

Let me give it some consideration.

Thank you.

It means a lot.

OK.

[BACKGROUND CHATTER]

Watch your back.

-

-

-

- Anna! - Nikhail, I don't want
to have to ask you this,

but I have to see Harry.

Anna, I can't pull favours for you.

I've already filled an application
for this,

but I can't see him until next week.

That's fine, John. Thank you.

I understand this is difficult for you,
but the police wouldn't have charged him

if they didn't actually think
he did it.

But the evidence has so obviously
been planted.

It shouldn't even have gone this far.

Are you sure you need to see him?

Yes.

- I'm sorry...
- I'll try and get you in today.

Thank you.

PRISONER:
You understand me?

Eh?

[INDISTINCT WHISPER]

Rich?

Harry.

Come here.

Ah, Jesus Christ!

It's OK. Don't start.

No, it's not.

We...

are dead.

What have they done to you?

Well, it's not happened yet.

What?

They keep telling me
they're gonna break me apart.

I've got strangers coming up to me
in corridors

and whispering
that my days are numbered.

Nothing's gonna happen. I'm here now.

Yeah, yeah...

They told me you were coming.

Why are you in here?

Same reason as you.
Framed for murder.

So I'm never getting out of here.

Rich.

Rich. Listen.

You just need to hold it together.

Things are going to turn around.

Right! Back to your cells! Come on!

Get a move on!

Who told you that?
You're lucky bracelet?

It hasn't been very lucky for me,
has it?

Or Barbara?

Let's go!

See, D.C.I. Frierson

and D.I. Jim Stepton are shown here

on surveillance logs at
43 Chepstow Road,

but then...

there's nothing. It just? it stops.

There's nothing more in here
about that or anything else.

Maybe it was taken out
of the dockets.

You think some papers
have been removed deliberately?

That's what I'm trying to find out.

If anything came from
this surveillance operation.

I'll make sure...
things haven't been...

misfiled.

I'm here to see Kate Olsen.

Right over there.

You're sure he's the one?

Yeah.

Becker.

He's definitely dead?

Yes.

Kate, I'm sure you're still hazy
on the details....

He was asking about Lermontov.

You think Becker was hired
by Vincent's son, Paul?

Yeah.

There was a man...
a barge and then...

and then I was
in the Lermontov vaults.

Do you know where these vaults are?

She needs to rest now.

Yes, of course.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

She's sleeping now.

Perhaps you could come back later.

Sure.

[ALARM BEEPS]

Nurse! Nurse!

Kate, can you hear me?

Kate, please!

Excuse me.

NURSE:
What's going on with her?

BP's 180.

Don't know why!

It's still rising.

She's going into cardiac arrest.
She's crashing!

LARSON: The machine's broken.

It's been broken for weeks,
detective.

Really?

Seems fine to me.

Have you still got it?

The bracelet?

Yes.

Why don't you use it
to try and get out?

Because my brother is in here.

Listen, what's going on here, huh?

In the yard?

Who runs that gang?

There's no gang in here.

My brother...
is under serious threat here.

I want to know who from.

You don't get it.

It's not a gang.

Everybody's part of it.

What?

And if you don't join or...

you can't join...

What, you say everyone
in the whole prison's involved?

It's impossible.

Golding?

- I've got to get back. - No, please,
listen to me. Listen to me.

- My brother's life...
- Let him go!

Remember me?

Hatton Garden.

Oh yeah!

I remember smacking you in your face.

You went down like a stack of shite.

And now you're here washing my pants.

You're a long way from home,
detective.

There's 330 prisoners
on the Remand Wing,

16 prison officers

and two Claytons.

You have a think about that, Harry.

D.S. CLARK:
Forensics on the overalls.

Thanks.

-

Come with me.

Rich?

Get in.

Where's my brother?

It's OK.

We've been here before, remember?

Ahhh! Jesus!

Just get out!

[FIRE ALARM]

Go! Go!

Harry!

- Harry, I'm sorry!
- Back!

I'm sorry!

Be careful!

She was pretty sure
Paul Lermontov hired Becker.

I think we should put him
under surveillance straight away.

Alright.
Do an urgent surveillance application.

Let's get it approved ASAP.

Any results on the overalls
Harry brought in?

Not yet.

If Barbara Haleton's blood on those
overalls, we've made a terrible mistake.

You did your job.

I've been through every decision
we've made.

Sir?

What happened with you and Harry
in Rotherhithe?

Harry led us into an ambush,
with a psychopath.

He gambled on him being unarmed

and he was wrong.

Whatever I feel... about Harry,

it hasn't influenced any decision
I've made on this.

GUARD: Clayton. You have a visitor.

Five minutes.

I know you didn't do it.

Thank you.

You shouldn't be here.
I'm getting you a better lawyer.

- I don't think it's going to make much
difference. - Of course it will.

Harry, what's going on?
Why is this happening?

I got too close.

Golding?

Listen to me.

You have to be very careful.

He's done this to me.
He's done it to Rich.

You've seen Rich?

Yeah.

There's a gang in here
controlled by Golding.

They've somehow got to Rich.

I don't quite understand but...

he's really vulnerable.

How did you get to see me so soon?

Julian?

Listen.

I need you to ask him to offer Rich
a Rule 43.

He needs to be separated
from the rest of us.

- You need to do this straightaway.
- Alright, alright. I'll ask him.

And what about you?

I'm OK.

Yeah, you're obviously fine.

I can handle myself.

I know you can.

What shall I say to Daisy?

Nothing.

Time's up.

I will find a way to get you out.

I'm sorry, Anna.

Kaleem,

I've got a job for you.

Come by tomorrow,

before we open for business.

D.S. Chohan to Control.

Paul Lermontov is leaving
the Needle building.

He says there's a gang
operating inside the prison.

I'm afraid that's the case
with all the prisons in London.

We're trying to break it down,

but my officers are assaulted
almost every week.

The good ones keep leaving.

I thought the whole point was
this prison was a flash of success.

My outreach programmes are a success,

but they're under constant threat.

Someone very powerful,
someone with political influence

is controlling this gang
from the outside.

All we get in here is lieutenants
and foot soldiers.

My staff's just trying to keep up
with who's in on it.

Harry wants Rich to take Rule 43.

He thinks he's being targeted.

It doesn't work like that.

It has to come from our side.

Look, I think Harry's also in danger.

I can't just abandon
all prison procedure

just because we're together.

You know that's why
I let you see him.

And my guards know that it is completely
against the rules.

Yes, I realise that.

Let me think about it, Anna.

Thank you.

Why don't you come
and see me tomorrow?

We can talk it through then.

- I have to be with Daisy tomorrow.
- Bring Daisy.

I'm spending the weekend with friends
in Hampstead.

They've got a daughter her age.

They'll have fun.

There's a pool.

Alright.

I'll see if she's OK with it.

WINTER: How long were you planning
on sitting on this?

Excuse me, Sir?

The analysis
for Charles Collins' overalls.

This places Collins
at the crime scene.

I was waiting for...
confirmation of its admissibility.

Clayton was suspended
the morning he found it...

That isn't your call!

Well, with all due respect, Sir,

I was S.I.O.
on the Richard Clayton case.

How do we know Harry didn't tamper
with this?

We don't
but it still raises serious questions.

Our case against Richard Clayton
wasn't that strong in the first place.

- When did this come in?
- This morning.

We have to get Rich released.

Come with me, Chohan.

-

I need to get this Release Order
to Whitecross ASAP.

Where are you at with Lermontov?

SURI: We lost him in traffic.

If Harry was right about Collins,
then how far does this go?

Harry came to me,

begging for surveillance on Collins,

just before we got the tip-off
about his flat.

You didn't agree.

I thought he was in over his head.

And you'd just given me
the casino tape.

We know that Collins is involved
in at least two of these cases

that we're investigating.

Barbara Haleton...

and you saw him with Sasha Terekhova.

He was on her boat,
acting like her chaperone.

So we've connected a series of crimes
and the killer's still out there.

What about Frierson?

We need to sit on him
until we're absolutely sure.

About what?

How deeply he's involved in this.

You think he might be Golding?

I'll get back onto Lermontov.

Why do you think Orwell sat
on Rich's release?

I don't know.

GUARD: OK, ladies!

Let's have you back to your cells!
Come on. Let's go!

Let's go. Come on.

In! In!

Stop messing around, girls,
let's have you back!

Bedtime!

You've seen my brother?

Get back to your cell, Clayton.

Or it's two days lock down.

Come on...

Chop, chop!

Time to turn your light out, Daisy.

Are we going to Dad's tomorrow?

No...

He's had to go away.

Where to?

I'll tell you about it tomorrow.

Where am I going instead?

We've both been invited
to spend the day with Nikhail.

He's got a pool.

It'll be fun.

Great.

Good night, sweetheart.

Mr Linton, this is
Detective Superintendent Winter.

Oh, yes.

Did you show Dr Marghai
the photos I sent over

- for identification?
- Yes, I did.

Did he identify Karl Frierson

as the recipient
of Luke Bangura's kidney?

Detective Superintendent, can you
guarantee my client's protection

from these people?

Mr Linton, this is crucial.

OK.

If you arrest Frierson...

then I'm pretty sure my client
will testify against him.

We've just received this. It's a
Release Order for Richard Clayton.

We need to act on it straight away.

OK. I'll get him ready.

-

-

Marghai's going to stand up in court
and say he got the kidney for Frierson.

You see, Harry was convinced

Maria Alexandri's case...
is where Frierson was turned.

I've been looking into it.

There was a cover-up.

Files are missing.

But Maria Alexandri was...
she was part of the traveller community.

Why would Golding and Frierson...

go to so much trouble
over someone like her?

We need Harry here.

Yeah.

And we're not gonna get him out
until we get close to this man.

Lily-Anne,

you look well.

I don't.

Well even on your bad days,
you look better than the rest of us.

You're getting the carpet cleaned?

It's expensive carpet.

Is this what I think it is?

I'm sorry, Kaleem,

but I've been given no choice.

We all have a choice.

Your father had a choice.

My father... was a very stubborn man.

So was my father.

But I didn't throw him
to the wolves for it.

I expect Golding
will want video evidence

that you've done this yourself.

You've been talking to Harry Clayton.

That's why you have to die.

Harry Clayton is finished.

Why do I have to die for someone

who won't even make it
to the end of the week?

If I disobey this order,

then I'm next on the hit list.

He'll get you anyway.

Think,

Lily-Anne.

Think what this will do
to your conscience.

I have no conscience left.

You have a message for your father?

You were right

about that surveillance operation
on 43 Chepstow Road.

They brought in a suspect
for questioning. Twice.

Twice?

A week apart.

So it had been removed
from the original case file.

It would have stayed buried

if you'd not made me crosscheck
the station records.

It took me two days to access that.
I hope it's worth it.

Thanks.

We need to leave there now.

Meet me at City Hall.

We haven't got much time.

I think I know who Golding is.

Oi! You seen my brother?
He's missing.

Yeah?

It's like that at Whitecross.

Here today and gone tomorrow.

Have you harmed him?

Us?

No...

We haven't touched him.

You threatened him.

We're just the foot soldiers here.

The real power's over there.

Maybe you should ask him
if Rich got the Rule 43,

just like you asked for.

Where's my brother?

He's been ill.

He's back in his cell now.

And he's been asking for you.

Come on. Come with us... Come on.

Come on.

WINTER: Frierson tampered
with the Maria Alexandri files

to cover up who really killed her.

SURI: This should be interesting.

Hello, Karl.

What are you doing here, Alistair?

Maria Alexandri.

You remember her, Karl?

You were investigating her murder
with D.I. Jim Stepton.

The traveller woman,

stabbed in her caravan.

What has that got to do
with anything?

I crosschecked our station
custody records on the Alexandri case.

See, some of the pages were missing
from the original case file.

And I just couldn't work it out.

Fortunately,

our extremely diligent
Archive Officer...

found these.

Go on.

Go on.

You and D.I. Jim Stepton

brought in Nikhail Julian

for questioning about the murder
of Maria Alexandri.

You interviewed him twice.

What about it?

A key witness places him

walking away
from Maria Alexandri's caravan

on the night of that murder.

Yet you and D.I. Stepton
didn't follow this up.

Within weeks, Stepton retires

and the case is left unsolved.

Rich?

And that's when Julian bought you,
isn't it?

For the price of a kidney.

And slickly re-packaged you

as his perfect inside man
at City Hall.

What the hell are you talking about?

This is completely ridiculous.

Rich! Rich!

Open the door! Open the door!

Rich! No!

Rich!

[BONE BREAKING & SCREAM]

Stop. Cut it out.

Karl Frierson,

I'm arresting you on suspicion

of soliciting to murder Luke Bangura

and perverting the course of justice.

Come on, Karl,

you've been in my seat before.

You must know
there's nowhere to hide.

We're gonna access your medical records
and every piece of correspondence

between you and Governor Julian,

because that's who we're talking about,
isn't it, Karl?

Golding!

Golding!

No!

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