Wired (2008): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript

[exciting music]

[beep]

[talk, phones ringing]

You all right, Mel?

Morning.

How was your night last night?

MELANIE: Yeah, not bad.
- Yeah?

MELANIE: How about you?

Yeah, it was OK.

[beeping]

[WHISPERING] Shit.



What have you done?

Grabbed a gold bullion
from the vault?

Sorry, Melanie.

Can I have a word with
you in my office, Ben?

[camera clicking]

HARRY: Why did she have
to do it in the bank?

Only because she wanted to.

Who found her?
- The other girl...

Louise Evans.

POLICEWOMAN: Can I
get you some water?

LOUISE: No, thanks.

So why did you go and see Anna
this morning, Louise?

Louise is clearly upset.

Can we do this another time?



It's fine, Mr. Borne.

We'd had an argument...

A stupid one about boyfriends.

I wanted to make it up.

POLICEWOMAN: And
is there any reason

you know of that
might make your friend

choose to take her own life?

No... no reason.

[crying]

Thank you.

I've, uh, I've just
talked to my boss.

The general feeling is
that we make an arrest,

contain that and the
suicide as one story.

Arrest who?

Louise Evans.

No.

I'm giving it to you... access
to her computer files,

telephone calls,
emails... everything.

You should be able to bring some
kind of case against her.

Cobbling together a case
against Louise Evans

isn't the point.

Listen to this.

"I work for ZBG Bank
in Canary Wharf.

I'm being threatened,
forced against my will.

There's a big deal
coming through.

I'm too scared to
go to the police."

Young male rang
through last night.

You haven't just got moles here.

They're all over the place.

You've got them down
at Canary Wharf, too.

They've done a security
check down there.

Things are meant to
have tightened up.

Yeah, well, not enough.

We can't make any arrests
until we're sure we got everyone.

Look, if they're going for
the Lewis Stone deal, this is huge.

Louise Evans is just small fry.

HARRY: So what do we do?

Keep her out there.

Use her to lead us to them.

[music playing]

MANESH: Yep.

All right.

All right, yeah.

Fair deal, yeah?

No, no, no.

Don't pay me now.

[indistinct speech]

[laughs]

OK.

You, too.

OK.

Here I am, then.

All right.

What's up, bro?

What's up?

Security's tightened up, man.

Compliance is all over us,
reviewing all our contracts.

I thought they were
going to sack me today.

Well, did they?

They changed me from
temp to permanent.

Well, then.

What a dim.

Maybe they know
something's going down.

We could wait a bit,
go for another deal

when things have cooled down.-
Listen, listen, listen.

[bawking]

MANESH: The Ralindis
have come through, man.

They're backing us now.

So we're going to move on to the
next stage, as we agreed.

Have you chosen someone?

Good.

Melanie?

Jolly good.
Right, listen.

Call me when you've got
the account details.

Just keep your head down.

Stay safe, all right?

You didn't tell me the Ralindis
are coming through.

What are their terms?

40%.

40%?

You haven't agreed, have you?

Yeah, we need them to do it.

You know, there are other people
that can launder money.

Yeah, like who?

Like Russians or Albanians.

All right.

Go on.

You got an in with them?

Yeah, you're like this with the
Russian Mafia, innit?

Huh?

You're a clown.
Shut up.

Since when have you been in
bed with the Ralindis?

Since you've been
crying like a bitch.

[punch]

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

[grunting]

You sorry?

I'll sort the Ralindis.

You sort the bank contracts.

All this security...
Someone's been talking.

Find out who.

I mean it.

[spits]

[coughs]

[music playing]

Have you talked to anyone?

What?

Have you?

Because I'm the one that
gets hit in the face

for your big mouth.

I didn't do it.

I haven't!

We're dead.

Or you're dead.

Like Anna?

'Cause this is what's
left of my friend.

All I've got is her passport
to remember her by.

She took so many pills it would
have killed an elephant,

and then she slit her wrists
just to make sure.

You can't get rid
of me that easy.

You've got to look me in
the eyes when you do it,

you bastard.

[dance music playing]

CRAWFORD: How long has
this been going on for?

About an hour.

Don't know what to do.

I thought she was going to chuck
herself out the window.

Mind you, it would
save on the paperwork.

You go on.

I'll deal with this.

What's going on in there?

LOUISE: She's on a bender.

She does it sometimes.

Who are you?

A friend.

She needs one of
those at the moment.

Go on.

You go and sort her out.

Hello?

What are you doing here?

Hi.

I thought I'd drop by.

Come on, then.

[panting]

[laughing]

Whoa!

OK.

Hi.

I'm Crawford.

ERICA: I'm Erica.

Erica, does your
mom do this often?

Only when she's sad or angry.

What is she now?

Both, I think.

[thumping on wall]

JUDY: Turn it down, love.

Oh, come on, Jud.

Come and join in.

JUDY: I'm going to sleep.

Oh, don't be such a
bore, you silly cow.

Mom.

JUDY: Turn the thing down!

ERICA: Mom.

JUDY: You're the one
who's being too loud.

- Come on.
- Stop it, please.

- Come on.- Can we stop now, please?

Can we stop now, please?

Stop.

Sorry.

And say sorry to Judy.

Sorry, Jud.

There.

Is that all right?

Come on.

Let's go to bed.

Uh, I better go.

I just, uh... I
just wanted to make

sure you were all right
after the other night.

Don't.
Stay.

I'll... I'll be...

I'll be two minutes.

Please.

Good night.

ERICA: Good night, Crawford.

[door closes]

LOUISE: A friend died.

I'm sorry.

She killed herself...

Stupid cow.

Who does that, eh?

However bad things get, you
don't do that, do you?

CRAWFORD: Did you find her?

[crying]

There was so much blood.

I've never seen a
dead person before.

Have you?

Yeah, I have.

It was all my fault.

Of course it wasn't your fault.

No.

I wasn't speaking to her
because she got me into this stuff

with those guys at the club.

What stuff?

I can't... I can't tell you.

Is it really that bad?

Yeah, I think it is.

Well, then, go to the police.

I can't.

Why not?

Because I did something for
them, and they paid me.

How much?

Look, I've never
had money, and when

it's handed to you on a plate...

I paid off everything... my
debts, my credit card.

Erica and I went and chose this.

I mean, she bounced on all
the sofas in the shop.

10,000 pounds.

You see, I'm crap.

I'm fucking crap.

You take money from
those sort of people,

and they'll never let you go.

Didn't you realize that?
- I know.

But I'm good at looking
on the bright side.

Go to the police.

If you've got
something to tell them,

they're not going to give a
toss about a new sofa.

I haven't always been
completely straight.

Have you done
something really bad?

Hmm?

Have you smashed in
someone's kneecaps?

Have you chopped
off someone's head?

Of course not.
Of course not.

Then who cares?

They won't.

Do you really believe that?

Yeah, I do.

I do.

You're a nice man.

Louise, I have to go.

You're married.

No.

I'm just not a good bet.

I'm not talking
about a relationship.

I'm talking about tonight.

Your friend's just died.

You're not thinking straight.

I want you to stay
more than anything.

Bye.

CRAWFORD: Bye.

Right.

Big meeting with
Lewis Stone coming up.

Now, if you want to
walkthrough the deal with me,

then you're going to have
to bone up on him, yeah?

I mean, it's a lot of work,
so, I mean, if you...

You know, I can always
get somebody else if you

think this is too much for you.- No.

I want to do it.

Good.

You won't regret it.

[chatter]

It's a surveillance hard drive.

It copies everything from
the computer it's plugged into.

Where did you get it?

US.

RALINDI SON: What's this?

That's the software.

You've got to download
it into the target computer

before the hard drive works.

There's 10 grand
there from my dad.

Now, if you get nicked, he'll
look after you as long

as you keep your mouth shut.

[music playing]

[beep]

[computer dings]

Damn.

What's happened?

Computer's crashed.

I've got to finish
this by 10:00.

Well, I'm just about to
go and get a cup of tea,

so you can use mine if you want.

Melanie, thanks.

You saved my life.

[exciting music]

[beep]

Hi.

All finished?

Thanks.

OK.

Hey, Harry.

What's going on?

There's, uh, there's
been a security breach.

We need to sort it out before we
call for any further review.

What do you mean?

Louise Evans went on the general
server this morning.

She covered her tracks first,
used a colleague's log-on.

She checked up on someone's bank
account details...

Current account, credit cards...

Everything.

Who was it?

You.

[phone ringing]

PHILLIP [ON ANSWERING
MACHINE]: Hi.

This is Phillip Manningham.
Leave a message.

I have everything
you could possibly

want on the Lewis Stone deal.

Do you know how much
he's selling his company for?

Because I do.

I'll give it all to you
if you just leave me alone.

I want out.

[thumping on door]

Who is it?

CRAWFORD: It's me, Crawford.

Go away.

CRAWFORD: Open the door.

What?

What the hell do
you think you're

doing, having me checked up on?

Did Phillip Manningham
put you up to this?

No.

I did it myself.

Why?

Because you were
too good to be true...

I'll help you Louise.
I'll look after you.

Wanker!

I was trying to help you.

What, by lying to me?

What was I going to say?

Good morning, Louise.

That was a great shag.

Oh, by the way, I'm a policeman.

You kept on at me about
going to the police.

That's why you came round.

You go to the police,
you have a better

chance of being treated right.

If we force you to come in,
you'll be treated like shit.

How can you force me?

We can arrest you.

You've got nothing on me!

You took 10,000 pounds
from Phillip Manningham.

How do you know I didn't sleep
with him for it?

[scoffs]

I shouldn't have helped
you out that night in the bar.

I should have just let
them get on with it

and beat the crap out of you.

Why did you wade in?

I didn't need you.

- Oh, is that right?
- Yeah.

I'm better on my
own than when people

like you come and mess me up.

Oh, I messed you up?

Is that what last
night was about?

I don't know what
last night was about,

but I'm doing my best to
forget it ever happened.

You turn yourself in, or
you're going to prison.

If you're going to arrest me,
why don't you do it now?

What are you waiting for?

[door slams]

[phone ringing]

Who is it?

Yeah, it's me.

Bring the Lewis Stone documents
to Anna's funeral,

and I'll pick them up.

[beeps]

[camera clicking]

This is very good.

And you're supporting
your family?

I like to see that.

Well, they've, uh... they've got

no one else to look after them.

That's not true.

They're linked to me now,
and I look after my own.

Once this deal is done,
if it's successful,

you could come work for me.

I'd be honored.

Shall we raise a glass, then?

To Mr. Lewis Stone
and the future.

Sorry I'm late...

Terrible traffic.

Phillip Manningham, Mr. Ralindi.

Lovely to meet you.

Heard a lot about you.

Can we, um, lay for one more?

Can I get a glass
of wine, as well?

And you are?

Manningham, Phillip...

Manesh's business partner.

Has he not told you about me?

Hurtful, man.

Anyway, I assume we're here
to talk about our little business

deal and not the weather...

Or arranged marriages.

Well, Manesh and I are
joined at the hip on this one.

I need him for Ben, and he needs
me for my bank contacts,

speaking of which, I
just spoke to someone

who knows Lewis
Stone inside out,

from how he likes to take his tea
in the morning to how much

he's aiming to sell
his company for.

Chin-chin.

Well, Mr., um, Manningham,
it sounds like you

are utterly indispensable.

And Manesh has been most remiss
in not introducing us.

But I've just remembered
I have another engagement.

[non-English]

You prick.

Mr. Ralindi.

Mr. Ralindi?

Mr. Ralindi.

I'm so sorry.

I like you, Manesh.

I like your energy.

I like the fact that you
brought this deal to us.

But I don't like your partner.

Make sure we get this
money and get rid of it,

and then we'll talk, yeah?

[camera clicking]

You're not going
to believe who I've

just seen with Manesh Kunzru.

CRAWFORD: Manesh Kunzru... string
of minor convictions.

Served a GBH sentence when he
was 19 for knife assault...

Slashed up his girlfriend pretty badly...

Nothing since then.

Ralindi started out
in human trafficking.

We suspected him of running
a massive fraud a couple of years

ago, but we couldn't
pin anything on him.

We might not bring him
down with this one,

but we could wound him.

I'm upgrading this to armed ops.

Crawford will run
it, reporting to me.

CRAWFORD: I don't think
I should do this one.

I had that initial contact
with Louise Evans.

I think you should
find someone else.

No.

You had contact.

Let's use it.

Use her as an informant.

Louise Evans... pretty girl.

What's she like?

She's pretty tough.

Can we put pressure on her?

We have evidence against her.

Good.

You made contact before.

Make it again.

Let's bring her in.

[phone rings]

PRIEST: In the name of
the father, the son,

and the holy spirit, behold,
he is coming with the clouds,

and every eye will
see him, including

those who pierced him.

All the tribes of the Earth
will mourn over him.

Why did Auntie
Anna go to heaven?

Because... because she wanted to.

Because it was her time.

Is it your time?

Oh, I'll be an old
granny before they cart me off.

Hey.

Hello.

Hey.

How's my favorite
little eight-year-old?

Did you get my text?

Hello, Louise.

Hi, Mr. Borne.

Hello, there.

Hi.

Phillip Manningham.

Hugh.

How are you bearing up?

Well, chucking the old shop,
breathing the fresh air.

It's good out here.

Well, I will one day.

Louise, do you know
the mother's name?

I need to be introduced.

[Erica giggling]

It's... it's Mandy.

Where's Mummy?

See you.

Have you got something for me?

Let go of her.

Erica.
- Ooh.

Go on, then.

PHILLIP: Make
interesting reading?

LOUISE: Yeah.

Well, how much is he
selling the company for?

250 million pounds.

And you still don't
want any part of it?

My god, Louise, this is freedom.

It's the rest of
your life sorted.

Now that there seems to be a
bit more going around, some of it

should come to you.

How does 200 grand sound?

No.

500,000 pounds in your name in
a bank account in Dubai?

15 grand cash.

There's a name in there.

That person needs to be
in the Canary Wharf team

working the Lewis Stone deal.

I'll need proof.

I can't do that.

Oh, come on, Louise.

You're enjoying this
as much as I am.

You know you are.

Come on, Louise.

You'll make it work.

15 grand.

[laughs]

Good move.

Good move.

Toodle pip.

Erica?

Erica?

Erica!

There you are.

Crawford's a policeman.

He's got a police
car and everything.

He said we could go through...

What are you doing
with my daughter?

She's wandering
about on her own.

You were too busy to notice.

We can go to the police station.

Shh.

Just carrying out some business

with Phillip Manningham?

LOUISE: Go and sit
over there, OK?

And don't move.

Handing over stolen papers, you

could go down for three years.

You've been listening
to my phone calls.

Oh, my god.

Yeah, well, I'm a
policeman, Louise.

That's what we do.

And do police sleep with witnesses,
or is that just you?

I want to help you, Louise.

You might not believe
it, but it's true.

How can you help me?

You give us information.

We'll waive the charges.

God.

Louise, this is not a game.

You think you can play
with Phillip Manningham

and walk away?

Well, there are other
people involved here.

They will kill you and not
think twice about it.

They'll kill Erica.

You're just trying to scare me.

You have no idea what you're
dealing with, do you?

You ring me before you find out.

[speaking quietly]

Oh.

Oh.

Hello.

Can I give you a lift?

Oh, I can't.

I've got my little girl with me.

- You're taking her to work?- Yeah.

But I thought we were going
to the police station.

[laughs nervously]

She's joking.
- Please, please.

Let me give you a lift.

OK.

That's very kind.

Get in, Erica.

HUGH: There we go.

There we go.

Mind your fingers, eh?

There we go.

Seat belt.

[suspenseful music]

Excuse me, please.

I need to see
Phillip Manningham.

Will you tell him
Hugh Borne is here?

I don't want to disturb you
if Phillip's not here.

Do I look like you're
disturbing me, huh?

I've heard a lot about you...

Hugh, Phillip's mucker from
the old days, the man

who brought us Lewis Stone.

Well, I just thought it, uh...

I just... just, it might
be the right idea...

Well, it's good
to finally meet you.

It's good to meet you, too.

So what's up, then?

It's got to be something important
to bring you down

here.

No, not really, no.

It's just something at the bank.

And, um... well, if...

If Phillip's not coming, I'll come
back another time, then.

Phillip and me are
business partners.

You can tell me everything.

What's happened in the bank?

Nothing.

Is the deal off?

Because if it is, I'm
going to kill you.

I'm going to kill your
wife and the kids.

What's going on here?
Let him go.

Shut up!

I asked you a question.

What's happened at the bank?

It's Louise Evans.

I think she's gone
to the police.

MANESH: Who's Louise
Evans?- Doesn't matter.

It's nobody.

I'll sort it out.

She's one of your
contacts, isn't she?

Huh?

[phone rings]

Hello?

Phillip?

Hello, Louise.

Nice to speak to you.

That does not sound
like nobody to me.

Ah!

[screaming]

Do you know Louise Evans?

Hmm?

Bring her to me.

MARK: We are in the
process of setting

up a totally secure account for
the money to go into.

LEWIS: So after fees and interest,
what am I looking at?

You're looking at about 250 million pounds,

give or take the odd bar.

This is my new boat.

She travels at 14 knots.

Oh.

Now, once this
deal's done, I'm going

to take you both out on her.

I'd like to talk
with each of you

about the future, about
what you want to do,

who you want to be...
- Star Watch.

LEWIS:... how you're
going to get there.

In exchange, I want you to give
me everything you've got

over the next couple of weeks.

You go to sleep
thinking about my deal.

You wake up thinking
about my deal.

You don't just work for me.

You are me.

Listen, I... I think I can speak

for both of us when I
say that we're going

to give 110% to this, Lewis.

Now, is there anything
else that you'd

like to raise at this point?

Yeah.

The transaction team
at Canary Wharf,

I mean, at the end
of the day, they're

the people moving the money,
pressing the buttons.

I'd like to check up
on them personally.

Good call, Louise.

Let's work with
people we can trust.

Does Lewis Stone
always name his bank

accounts after his boats?

MARK: How'd you
work that one out?

The photo.

Now here's the
name on the screen.

Yeah, at least ever
since I've known him.

And it's a toss pot affectation,
but we have to humor it.

How many people know about it?

Uh, the people
around him, I suppose.

Why?

No reason.

Did you know Phillip Manningham
when he worked here?

Phillip Manningham?

I think he was seeing Anna.

No.
He can't have been.

She wouldn't have
been, uh, clever

enough or posh enough for him.

You involved with him?

No.

Good.

Well, stay clear of him.

I hear he's gone to the dogs.

[typing]

Don't stay up too late.

[phone rings]

[sighs]

Have you thought about what
I said this morning?

Yes.

CRAWFORD [ON PHONE]: And?

[snapping]

I'll work with you.

I need to do it on my own terms.

I'm coming in.

I'll tell you everything I know.

[beeps]

[clicks]

Oh, there we go again.

What's that?

Must be someone coming.

[beeping]

Who is it?

Come on.

[suspenseful music]

[clicking]

Come on.

Come on.

[beeps]

It won't open.

What are you doing?

Well, the lift wasn't working,
so we took the stairs.

[beeps]

Looks fine to me.

Oh, hello.

Uh, yeah, I think we can deal
with all this tomorrow.

She does have her
daughter with her.

I can personally vouch for her.

Very good, Mr. Borne.

As long as you say so.

I do say so.

Thank you very much, now.

Here we go.

Oh, thank you very much.

Ah, security can be a bit OTT.

Hello, again.

Sorry.

She's not usually shy.

Yes.

I usually have that
effect on people.

[chuckles]

Boo!

Yes, why don't I
give you a lift home?

My car's parked in
the car park outside.

Well, you need to get home,
and, uh, well, you look all in.

Oh.

That's great.

Thank you.

She's down already.

How's life at the bank?

Yes, fine, thank you.

Lewis Stone deal's quite a big
thing for you, isn't it?

Did Mark tell you I was on that?

Hmm?
Yeah.

I'm just over here, so
you take the first left.

You missed the turn-in.

What are you doing?

Stop the car.

I can't.
I'm sorry.

I'm just the errand boy.

Mr. Borne.

You're the one who told
Phillip about the Lewis Stone deal.

You knew he'd named the
account Star Watch after his boat.

I've got three boys
in public school,

and I've got a house with
Avery big mortgage and a wife

with very expensive tastes.

I'm very sorry, but you're going to
have to come along with me.

I don't know what you're doing,

but you saw me talking
to Phillip this morning.

Everything's fine between us.

It's not about Phillip.

This is about his partner.- His partner?

Have you met his partner?

You're just about to.

Please, let me out of the car.

I can't.

I'm sorry.

I'll do everything I can.

Everything you can?

Well, just let me
out of the car, then.

I can't.

But my little girl.

Can't we drop her
back at my flat?

It's got nothing to do with her.

They told me to come straight...

Look, I'll call my neighbor.

I won't even get out of the car.- No.

Have you told them
that she's with me?

Because they won't like it.

Please.

Please.

Please, Mr. Borne.

All right.

But if they're out, she
comes with us, right?

You just don't try
anything funny!

I'm... I'm... I'm not
going to try anything.

[beeps]

HUGH: Put it on speaker phone.

OK, OK.

HUGH: Just put it
on speaker phone.

OK.
OK.

[phone rings]

CRAWFORD [ON PHONE]: Louise.

John, hi.

Could I ask you and
Judy a massive favor?

I've gone and got myself a date,
and I need to get rid of Erica.

Could you look after her for me?

Of course.

You could just put
her to bed in my flat

and listen out for
her through the wall.

Is that OK?

No probs.

OK, thanks.

Bye.

Nick, get down to
Louise Evans' building,

and bring backup... now.

[exciting music]

- Should I take her in?
- No.

I'm taking her in.

Give me your phone.

[locks click]

[knocks]

Ah, hello.

Look, I'm afraid I haven't even
let Louise out of the car.

You know what it's like when mums
put their children to bed.

It could take forever.

And we're late for our
dinner, so can I just...

That's all right.

I'll settle her.

Night, night.

We're late for our dinner, so.

Shh, shh, shh.

Go, go, go, go.

Girl is in the house.

She's in the house.

[music playing]

I'm on it.

He's picking up the A106,
Bethnal Green, High Street.

I'll be there in five minutes.

[buzzes]

[knocking]

BODYGUARD: Come here.
- What?

OK!
- Come on.

- OK!
- Up!

OK!

Up, up, up, up, up.

Up!

Stop.

You're pushing me.

[sizzling]

I'm going.

I'm going.

OK.

What's happening?

They pulled around the back.

Shit.

Is this the girl?

Have you been
talking to the police?

No.

[slapping]
Oh!

- Have you?
- No!

[grunting]

Go home and lock up!

Enough!

Take her next door.

[panicked breathing]
BODYGUARD: Let's go.

Get up.

Come on.

[grunting]

Should we follow him?

No.

No.

We stay put until she comes out.

[footsteps approaching]

MANESH: See this?

This belonged to my grandfather.

When he died, this was the
only thing he gave me.

It meant everything.

He was the business.

It was him that got off that
boat, pack on his back,

this in his pocket...
Nothing else.

Do you know how he started out?

He could scalp people.

Well, you needed to have
skill in the early days.

Stupid fucks on the street didn't
know the difference

between a American
Indian and an Asian Indian,

so he put the fear
of God into them.

And he taught me how to do.

See, what you do is you start
off behind the ear,

and you make a sharp incision.

The police are on to you,
but I didn't go to them.

I promise.

They're outside
this building now.

Bullshit.

They were on to you before
I came in on this.

You've got a leak.

That first night in the pub,
when Phillip approached me,

they were there.

The man who helped
me get away was

a plain clothes police officer.

He didn't tell me who he was,
but I checked him out.

I went into his bank
account details.

This is all bullshit.

I swear to God, it's not.

It's not.

Ah!

The police?

Look, they can't know
that much because if they did,

they'd have arrested me,
or they'd be in there now,

arresting all of us.

They must need more
evidence or something.

You could be working for them.

I would never
work for the police.

And why didn't you tell Phillip?

Because I don't trust Phillip.

It's that tosser, Hugh Borne.

He's the one who squealed.

All I want is to
come out of this free,

with a few quid in my pocket
and a new life for me

and my daughter to move onto.

You've got a daughter?

Yeah.

[gasps]

You don't want anything bad
to happen to her, do you?

[CRYING] Please don't hurt her.

Please don't hurt her.

I'll do anything.

Please don't hurt her.

Please.

Listen, so she'll be all right.

She'll be all right.

But first, you gotta help me.

[crying]

[solemn music]

[screeching]

Are you all right?

Where were you?

[panting]
