Code of Silence

Liam has invited me away.

Overnight? A day trip.

Never been tempted to bend the rules a little bit?

Liam has a really nice smile,

but it doesn't mean he's not a criminal.

'Liam was watching some people in the hotel.

'Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's the Joshis.'

He hacked into the hotel's CCTV.

Let's hope he's not watching you.

So, you saw Liam watching Amir and his daughter Reshmi?

Yeah, Liam asked me to lip-read them.

I saw them talking about bidding.

I think they were talking about the necklace.

We're gonna take it from an ultra-secure vault in London.

I need you to keep it secret until we're done.

KETTLE BOILING

ENGINE TURNS OFF

KNOCK ON DOOR, VACUUM WHIRRING

'Waterfall' by The Stone Roses

VACUUM STOPS

James! Good to see you.

Good song. Oh, God. Sorry. I'll turn it down.

Oh, don't turn it down on my account.

VOLUME DECREASES

The lids of your eyes...

I remember going to watch these at the Astoria.

Must've been, what, 15 years ago?

Oh! Charlie was desperate to go.

Was he? I said we couldn't afford it.

We had a bust-up about it. JAMES CHUCKLES

By the time he'd convinced me it was possibly the best thing

we could do with our money, it was sold out.

Thanks for... being here.

But the anniversary's not until next week.

'Yeah, I know. I know. It's just, erm...

'Charlie's been on my mind a lot recently, you know?'

I know it must be hard.

And if... Look, if me coming round is a bad reminder, then...

It isn't. I appreciate it.

OK. Really.

OK.

SHE CHUCKLES SOFTLY Funny.

Charlie would've liked you.

But if he was still here, we wouldn't have met, would we?

You made sure Alfie Redman went to prison.

Not for nearly long enough.

And Helen and Braden are still out there. Just...

feel like I'm missing something.

PHONE BUZZES

KEYPAD CLACKING

Can he do that?

Yeah, he says he can't afford maintenance payments.

I'm sorry, I'm, er...

I'm gonna have to go. I'll call you back.

Thanks.

PHONE THUDS

I'm sorry you're still struggling with the divorce.

Thanks.

Not gonna lie...

makes me a bit nervous.

What, you joining the club?

Oh, no. Look, this legal stuff... is hell.

But it's nothing compared to being in a marriage that isn't working.

OK, Nia? OK, OK, OK. Nia.

OK, team.

I've just got off the phone to my contact in Hatton Garden.

He's ex-cop turned private security.

He has heard whispers that the jewels are being shown

tomorrow at a private view for a potential buyer.

So maybe, I don't know... maybe the gang are thinking

of hitting at a moment of weaker security

while the jewels are in transit, I don't know.

Braden's gun is still unaccounted for.

Shit, Braden's gun is still unaccounted for.

So I need to phone the CPS

and get them to agree to a conspiracy charge.

Do you think we have enough evidence?

We've got the gang discussing details of vault security.

And a sighting of the vault's security plans.

Yeah, but that's from Alison, so...

Also need to tell the CPS of Alison's, erm...

..association with Liam Barlow, don't I?

Which they're really not gonna like.

I mean, they're really not gonna like that.

Do we have a location for Amir Joshi right now?

The Joshi family are back in London.

Amir Joshi is going to be at a meeting for investors,

according to The Times' business page.

OK. I mean, it's too risky to wait, isn't it?

It's just way too risky. OK. So, I need to...

I need to call the CPS and set up a meeting.

OK. If we get the nod, we need to be ready to go.

So let's get a current location for every member of this gang.

OK.

OK, that'll do. Cheers.

You... You got here fast.

Dad, were you dealing?

Just a little bit of weed.

Look, look... You OK? Y-Your text, it...

HE SIGHS SOFTLY

That's great. Yeah, thank you. Thanks. Cheers.

Sir? Yeah.

The Met finally got back to me.

They said someone snitched on Danny Heath.

That's why he was convicted.

Yeah.

Liam, presumably. But why?

I mean, we should be on top of this by now, shouldn't we?

Why did Liam take Alison to the hotel?

And how does cloning the Joshis' devices get them into the vault?

I mean, maybe we're getting complacent.

We don't look complacent to me.

Well, we didn't last time, either.

SCREWDRIVER CLICKING

PHONE BUZZES

Yeah.

Hey, are you OK?

There's something that you need to know.

What? What is it?

OK, Liam told me everything.

He showed me photos of the necklace.

They're gonna hit the vault, maybe even tonight. What?

'When did he tell you this?'

'Last night.'

'Wait, why are you just telling us now?'

'Because... Liam trusts me.'

And I didn't expect to like him when I first started this.

'Alison. Alison, this is important.

'Did Liam say how they were gonna get into the vault?'

'N-No, he didn't say.'

LIAM SIGHS

I can't let him go ahead with the robbery.

They're not gonna. We're gonna stop 'em, OK?

But, listen, you cannot see Liam again.

OK? He's dangerous.

OK. OK?

OK.

Yeah. Yeah, no, I got it. I got it.

Yeah, I'll be in touch.

CPS have agreed to a conspiracy charge.

The information from Alison actually tipped the balance.

I mean, they don't want her anywhere near a court, obviously,

but, er... they have advised

that we should bring in Helen, Braden and Liam.

OK, so we just have to stick the landing now.

Just gotta stick the landing. Ben? Yeah?

How're we doing on locating our suspects?

We've traced their vehicles.

They were all outside their residences,

but so far, we've not got eyes on Helen, Braden or Liam. OK.

Seems unlikely that they're all having a lie-in, no?

So let's pull CCTV images from around their homes

for the last 12 hours and get on 'em.

Wait, wait, wait.

So, sorry, Alison said they could be hitting the vault

as soon as tonight.

But if they've already gone to ground, then...

The gang could be hitting the vault before tonight.

Yeah. Fuck. OK. We should get down there, fast.

Erm...

Ben? Yeah?

Can you get onto the Met

and get them to send an armed response unit?

If they are making an attempt on the vault,

I don't wanna take any chances, yeah?

DOOR OPENS

You OK? Yeah.

I just... LIAM SIGHS

I've just got to go out for a bit.

Where you going? We're leaving in a hour.

Just gotta pick summat up. A bit of kit for back-up.

But we've been planning this for weeks.

I'll be back in time. Don't worry.

FOOTSTEPS RECEDE

DOOR OPENS, CLOSES

BRADEN INHALES SHARPLY

Thanks for meeting me here.

Did you think about what I said?

Please...

Don't do this.

If you stop, we could walk away.

We could be together. Maybe we can move away from here.

We could be anything we wanna be and be happy.

It's too late.

Look, if Braden's gonna walk into that vault with a gun,

people will die.

So if you care enough about me to come away with you,

then, please, just don't do this.

You don't understand.

I can't walk away from this.

I can't.

But...

I thought the Liam that I know won't let anybody get hurt.

If you walk into that vault, you're gonna get caught. I know that.

How do you know that? SCOFFS

I'm just worried. No.

You said that you KNOW that I'm gonna get caught.

What do you know?

No, no, I don't know anything. I...

I told you things last night.
