The Interceptor

It's just money. It's never just money.

Every fiver's got a victim's name on it.

Ash, you cannot keep taking these risks any more. You can't do it.

When was the last time we actually hurt anybody?

I'm not hanging an innocent man out to dry.

This is what you've signed up for!

Kim, what's going on?

What if we could get the money back?

I've got 100 grand. Now what?

This is how you follow the money.

It's back where it started, plus 25K.

There you go. It's talking. - (Yes!) - We're deeper into this crew,

- and nobody got hurt. This time.

'I need more product, Xav.' 'What?'

'The 5-0 just crashed the meet. They cleaned us dry.'

- 'The filth again? Who did you tell?' - 'Nobody, honest.'

'Right, someone is grassing us up. We need to find out who.'

Look in the mirror, sunshine!

Got these charlies on the run!

Oh, you made it.

Course I did. You ready?

Listen.

You go back in there and you get your little girl back.

All right?

- Come on. - Never had to do this before.

Well, I've never had to be a character witness before.

Just heard, another kilo taken out after a tip-off from us.

All well and good, but when's it going to get us higher up the ladder on this crew?

Well, the street boys are getting edgy, you can tell.

They're short of gear.

But they're holding the line. They're not giving much away.

Then we need a break.

Thanks for saying them things about me, Ash.

When I said I'd been clean for two years, they knew it was true.

- You did great. - You reckon?

Can't believe they make you wait.

It's only a few days.

You sure a fleapit like this is the kind of place you should be working at?

It's job number three.

I can afford to pack this one in if...

TRAIN RUMBLES

I don't want 'em to see me dressed like this.

There's a place round the corner where I can get changed.

- All right. - Thanks.

- You take care. - I will.

Yeah. Yeah, he's just flown in this morning.

Uh-huh. All right, I'll see what I can do.

OK. He's going to give us some big money.

- DIALLING TONE - 'All right, Ash?' - Tommy?

Remember that bloke we nicked a few years back?

Heroin pusher. Er... Russ?

- You mean "Razor" Russ? - No, no, no. The other one.

Oh, Russ, "The Bus" Russ?

That's the fella.

Well, I just saw our little sunshine burn a phone, and he didn't even recycle it.

- 'Oh, disgusting.' - I know. Naughty.

Now he's talking on a new one.

Love to know why he's being so careful.

Yeah, well, convicted drug dealer.

- Get a number, we'll be straight on him. - 'I'll see what I can do.'

You still here?

No problem.

Do us a little favour?

Can you help? Ring my phone for me.

Hope I haven't bloody lost it.

What's your number?

07900 700537.

PHONE RINGS

Dozy cow. Sorry. Thank you.

- Tommy? I got that number. - TEXT ALERT

Something's going down if he's burning phones.

I'm sticking with him.

KEYPAD BEEPS DIALLING TONE

PHONE VIBRATES

Yeah?

'Good morning, princess. Listen, I need your help with something.'

'Yeah, all right. Give me ten.'

I like it. Tommy's chasing up Martin.

PHONE RINGS

Tommy. What?

We need you, mate. Ash has got something.

OK, I'll be there in a moment.

Here we go.

- How long was he in there? - Half an hour or less.

He weren't in there for a Zumba class.

Look, I'm just saying you need what he's got, if it's true what I'm hearing.

- Who's he talking to? - Heard you were short of weight.

'I've been talking to someone who can sell you a serious amount of gear.'

- 'Are you sure?' - 'He's gold-plated, trust me.'

- Are you getting it? Oh, yeah.

- Who's he talking to? - That's the bit you're going to love.

'It's our old friend Xav.'

All right.

I'll pass it on. You set it up your end.

You wanted a break? Ash just worked us a lead.

'I've been talking to someone who can sell you a serious amount of gear.'

- 'Are you sure?' - 'He's gold-plated, trust me.'

'All right. I'll pass it on. You set it up your end.'

So, are we following Russ?

No, no, no, no.

We want whoever he was meeting inside.

Serious player.

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

PHONE RINGS

Um... sorry.

- PHONE BEEPS - Ollie? Babes!

- Miss me? - 'Yeah.'

Mandy!

I've got to go.

PHONE BEEPS

Sorry. It's my boyfriend.

- Hi. - Who's taking flowers? - I think it's Will.

SHE CHUCKLES

Yeah.

I hope you enjoyed your visit.

Your Jacuzzi is too hot and your sauna is too cold.

Aye aye. Walking pint of Guinness at ten o'clock.

He's scoping the ground.

Oh, I like you.

'I think we've got him.'

'Don't let him out of your sight. We need to know everything about him.'

'Kim? Do you see him?' 'Copy that.'

- 'Kim, you take the lead.' - 'I'm on it.'

'OK, guys. Confirm your positions.'

Madrid. I'm eight-two, standing off.

'From Kilo. My six-eight confirmed.'

'Five-five. Target's heading north.'

- Good. - Keep me updated. 'I have a plate.'

Lima, Victor, 1-4.

- 'Zulu, Zulu, Charlie.' - 'Copy that. Sadie?'

Can you get a trace on that as quick as possible?

'This is Kilo. I have visual on target.

- 'Madrid, are you with me?' - I'm here.

'Ash, got a trace on that plate.

'It's an executive car hired this morning from London Airport.'

'He's gone hard left.

'He's looking for tails. There's no way I can go with him.'

'We can't lose him now.'

Tommy, tell me what to do. Come on. You're my eyes here.

Er... go next left. He's got to be looping round the other way.

'I'm on it.'

Move, move, move, move, move!

- HORN SOUNDS Quick right.

I'm heading into a car park here.

'Er... go next left.'

There should be a service exit straight ahead of you.

Through there and you're back on him in a couple of turns.

Right at the end.

Gotcha!

HORN SOUNDS

No!

40 years in the scaffolding game, and I'll tell you what it's taught me.

It's that people see the tubes and the boards, they see the structure,

but they don't see what keeps it all together.

CLICKS CLAMP

Es todo sobre...

el clampo, Kenny.

It's all about the clamp.

You gotta trust these little beauties to keep everything up.

Trust.

You come and work for me, you have mine.

- I expect yours. - Of course, Mr Roach.

But if you break that trust... I've got a few other uses for these.

- Straight to it. - I'll jump onto it, Mr Roach.

- So? - The law's on a lucky streak.

No such thing as luck. You'd know that if you played golf.

This is exactly why we need to be taking control of our own importation.

Fine. In the meantime, what?

We're low in product. We could lose real estate to other crews.

What good's your own shipment if you got nowhere to sell it?

- So, who is this bloke? - Russ knows him.

He reckons the bloke's gold-plated.

Reckons he's good for 20-plus. Tide us over.

Make sure no-one moves in on our patch.

Set it up, but I want to know his terms.

OK. El clampo?

Is that really the word for clamp?

Dunno. But I won't be talking about clamps where I'm going.

TANNOY ANNOUNCEMENT

You all right? Alison, is it?

How about something a tad more exciting than sudoku?

I'm looking for some information.

'Sorry, who's this guy?' - Yeah, it's...

.. Eric Olaf Forsberg, Norwegian, born 12/7/79.

- And you want me to... - I don't know. Interpol?

- Interpol? - 'Yeah, that is a real thing, isn't it?'

'Listen, Ash, I don't know.'

Come on. Our tips are working all right for you, aren't they?

Yeah, maybe too much.

Listen, it... it's not a good time.

Morning, sir.

TANNOY ANNOUNCEMENT

So, what's he like, then, this Forsberg?

- Good customer? - Total tosser.

Only ever wants black saloons.

Up to no good, is he?

The next time he's coming through, give us a quiet call?

Er... we were told on the training course

not to divulge information to the law.
