Steal

Stop doing that. I'm checking the mirrors.

- Well, they might be following us. - I'll see them if they are.

Why would MI5 want to abduct me?

They wanna know what you know.

They abduct you, threaten you, torture you.

You disappear. That's how it works.

No, they could interview me. They could talk to me.

Yeah, they could. Or they could go in heavy.

How did you know they were gonna be at my flat?

Stop the car. Stop the fucking car...

- They planted someone. - Stop the fucking car

or I'm jumping out!

- Are you... - Stop the car!

Why were you at my flat?

I wanted to put you under surveillance.

MI5 blocked it. I figured either you're working for them

or they wanted to pick you up, so I came...

I'm not working for MI5!

Yeah, I kind of figured that out already.

Why? Why would they...

- I'm not... - You're not what?

You're a criminal, Zara.

You did steal that money, right?

- You and your mates? - Yes, but I wasn't...

Look, they're not my mates, okay?

I met them through Luke.

I just gave them some info, that's all.

They said it was for a hack.

I didn't know what they were gonna do, okay? I swear. I...

Here.

Cheers.

My investigation is being set up to fail.

I confronted my boss about it earlier. He basically confirmed it.

Told me to resign the case.

I figure we've got common enemies

common goals.

Maybe we team up, help each other out.

You want me to work with you? Like, behind their backs?

They're obstructing my case.

I'm on my own here.

Okay. Okay. So I team up with you, you arrest the robbers and then what?

You tell the court what you told me. You were duped. You thought it was a hack.

- I doubt you'll do any prison time. - You doubt?

You're worried about the thieves coming after you, right?

We put them behind bars, they can't come after you.

Yeah, but then I've still got MI5 to deal with.

If the thieves are in prison, MI5 don't need your info.

You go back to being an afterthought,

not a target.

No. No. There's way too many things

that could go wrong. No. Sorry.

This has got "Nope" written all over it.

Fine.

Take your chances on your own.

I'll drop you back at your flat.

MI5's probably still there.

You can tell them you thought it was a hack

while they load you into the back of a van with a hood over your head.

That's if your mates don't get you first.

What's in it for you?

If I catch the people who did this, my investigation hasn't failed.

Okay, so you're using me?

You are just as bad as the others.

You need to find some armed robbers before they kill you, right?

I'm an armed robbery cop.

So, maybe, if it makes you feel better,

you're using me.

What if they're still here?

They'll be long gone.

And if they're not, I'll arrest them.

The nightmare's over.

Stay put. Doors locked.

Anything happens, press the horn.

Keep it held down.

I'll just be a couple of minutes.

Okay?

Open the door!

Er...

You okay?

- There was a van... - Was it them?

- I don't know. - Did you see who was inside?

- No. - Did you get the number plate?

No! Jesus. I...

Did you find anything?

It's empty. They know what they're doing.

Place was bleached, floor to ceiling.

So... so what do we do now?

Find you somewhere to stay. Preferably near Lochmill.

For the money to be stolen,

it had to be moved out of investments and into cash, right?

Now it wasn't you or Luke who did that?

We're way too low down the ladder. It would have...

You think someone on the Investment Committee was involved?

Not just involved.

Someone that high up, I wouldn't be surprised

if they were in charge of the whole bloody thing.

Who would have made the decision to move the investments into cash?

Cartwright's the Chief Investment Officer,

but they have these committee meetings where they all vote on strategy.

Are there meeting notes?

Yeah, but they're on a network drive and only committee members have access.

Do you think you could, you know

gain access?

What? Me? Why don't you just go in there and confiscate the drives?

Because then the drives end up at our data lab, MI5 find out...

We're in a race against MI5 to find the thieves.

I get it.

It'll be fine.

I'm on the run.

You're not on the run.

You just need to stay around people. Crowded places.

They won't try it anywhere busy.

Stick to cash. Try not to use your phone outside of work.

We can't stop them. But maybe we can put it off long enough

to find the thieves.

I think there's a way.

The meeting notes.

Cartwright is fucking useless with technology.

He's always forgetting his passwords.

It's kind of a running joke. So, Dahlia, his PA,

keeps a list of them on her computer.

Maybe I can sneak the passwords.

The only thing is, I emailed work this morning

and I told them I wanted compassionate leave.

You'll have to go back in and tell them you've changed your mind.

Thank you very much.

Enjoy your stay.

Thank you.

It's not a charity. We're using each other, remember?

Before I took the vial back to the warehouse...

I took an impression of the fingerprint.

Why?

I like to have an advantage.

You think you can use it without MI5 finding out?

Yeah. Yeah, I think so.

How'd you manage to do it?

It was pretty easy, actually.

I found a tutorial channel on YouTube.

Crime Scene Pro. Do you know him?

No.

Why did you imprint it on paper?

A bloody fingerprint on glass, you just take photos of it.

It's a million times more accurate and you can do it all on your phone.

Oh.

I hope you didn't like and subscribe.

When you get to your room, use the hotel phone, call reception.

Ask if the kitchen's still open.

Then I'll know you're safe.

Sure. Night.

Night.

Hello, reception.

No, I'm sorry. The kitchen closed already.

Good night.

Anybody want to tell me how she got hold of it?

Fuck off.

He knocked the syringe. I had to reload it...

And you left a vial there with your fingerprint.

Okay.

- It was an error. - Yeah, it was your fucking error.

Fuck are you all looking at!

You were there. It's your mistake too.

- I'm sorry. I didn't... - Don't apologise. It's his mess.

Maybe she's good for it?

She brought us back the vial. We leave her alone. There's no harm done.

It's not so simple.

She knows the address of the office.

If she knows about that, what else does she know about?

There's one way to find out.

Get his door open!

- Move! - Please!

- Move! -

I... I don't understand.

Your friend.

- What does she know? - What did you tell her?

I didn't tell her anything. I told her what I was supposed to.

How did she know about the office?

What office? I don't...

Your mate knows where our office was.

How is that?

I don't know. I swear.

I swear.

She's my mate. But I don't know what she's doing.

Please... don't kill me.

Please don't kill me.

Can we trust her?

It's from a source I have to keep secret.

Rhys, you know I can't run this through the system

without a reference number.

How long have we known each other, Isaac? Please.

We've got nothing apart from this.

Okay, look.

We're beta-testing some new functionality tomorrow.

I could run it through overnight as a testing sample.

You'll have to wait, but it won't set off any alarm bells.

Thank you.

You know, my sister, well, she's a housing officer up in Essex.

She said the entire council might lose their pensions.

We've gotta do something about it, right?

You okay?

Yeah, fine.
