Stan Lee's Lucky Man

This is my mother's murder case file.

Jim Stepton!

My first case, your last. Karl Frierson brought you in.

Every time I followed something,

he blocked it.

Frierson wanted to kill it?

Nothing I could prove.

I want you to come in for questioning.

It's in connection with the murder of Luke Bangura.

You are delusional and when this farce is over,

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

My office, detective Clayton!

- What? - Now, Clayton!

He is rotten!

A client of mine was an inmate here.

Kevin Grey?

I think you know how he died.

It was Golding.

For the last 3 years, I've been tracking a man called Golding.

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

The same man that killed Freddie Lau,

the same man that wants the bracelet?

I've never been able to find out who he really is.

Yeah, I don't know how long I'm gonna be.

There's been an incident.

The traffic's packed up across the bridge.

Just keep the road.

You shout when you see him.

Help me!

- Go away! What you're doing? - Please! Help me!

Give me your phone!

Jesus Christ!

- Give me your phone, now! - No! No! Go away!

Come on, please! Please!

Over here! Help!

They're coming! They're coming!

Here he is!

Whoa, whoa! Right! That's far enough!

Don't shoot!

Someone beat him, doused him in petrol.

The spark from the taser ignited the vapour.

So the poor guy gets loose only for one of our lads to blow him up?

500 mil of normal saline to run over 6 hours.

5 minutes.

Hello.

I'm Detective Inspector Clayton.

This is Detective Sergeant Chohan.

What's your name, son?

Dear god! Look at him.

This could be the glass they picked out of him?

Smacked with a bottle while they were beating him maybe?

I don't think so.

This is plate glass.

I'd say he went through a window.

Easy, easy, easy, son!

Easy! You're safe now.

Who were you running from?

Ggg...Go-Golding.

It's awful!

Mum keeps being nice

and Nikhail wants to take us to the zoo.

Nikhail?

That's how I have to call him now.

That's my friend Carey.

- Hello, Carey! - Dad!

Go on, now.

Suri, any joy with legal?

Yes, the post-mortem showed he was attacked before he was tasered.

Good.

Following up on the glass fragments, I've just spoken to a glazier

who was called out to fix a broken window

in a derelict house near Albert Bridge.

They're worried about a broken window?

The place is a bloody wreck.

Ideal for beating though.

No-one will hear you scream.

Can I help you?

Zack McGinnis?

What about he?

Aggravated burglary. 7 years, White Cross prison.

Do you remember me?

Well, I got rehabilitated.

I was out in Fall.

And now you're a security guard.

Repaid for my skills.

Open up.

Does the firm know you've got a record?

I think I got straight from the White Cross outreach program.

Set me on a course.

Gave me a uniform.

And a twitchy nervous dog.

She's a rescue.

Little pet!

I found this broken this morning.

So I called the glaziers to fix it.

Broken in or out?

The cloth simply went through it.

Gina!

Hey! Gina, come on! Wait!

I'll go with him.

I'll check outside.

Rats!

She smells rats, she's away.

Unlike this smell, it's petrol? What's up there?

I don't know. No-one goes up there.

They do now. Move!

No-one comes up here?

This got nothing to do with me!

I'm gonna go call my boss.

Oy! I'll make any calls. Come back.

These are diggable.

Any luck with the prints?

They've cut the fingers off to take back to the lab.

I reckon they've had results from worse.

Is that him?

Yeah. Last use of the card,

3 hours before they taser him.

If we've traced the card, why do we need the prints?

Because it isn't his card. Watch this.

That's a bit OTT for a cash point mugging.

Yeah! It's a boutique bank in Mayfair

and the charge card for the cash limit of 10,000 Pounds.

The car belongs to a Miss Indira Kamal.

She's a student.

Fancy place for student digs!

You should have seen mine!

Hello!

What's this about?

We recovered a card charged in your name.

Are you aware of losing one?

Hmm. I don't think so. Maybe.

I don't keep track.

Suri...

Do you recognize this man?

His name is Anton Bugstrum.

He's from Sweden.

Who are you, sir?

Joaquin Agosto.

You're a student too.

Si. We all are.

I'm sorry to tell you but Anton is dead.

How?

We're still working on that.

Does Anton have any relatives in London?

No that I know.

Well, where did he study? Live?

Perhaps you didn't know him quite as well as you thought.

That was weird.

Yeah.

Finds out Anton's stealing from her, doesn't blink.

Is this some ransom gone wrong?

No. Kidnappers wouldn't torture their asset.

You do that for punishment or revenge.

Prints section's got a match for one of the fingers.

So our dead Swedish boy has a history full of petty thefts

and his name wasn't Anton, it was Tony.

Tony from Dalston.

You can't start an action without making an official complaint.

You know the rules as well as anyone.

Rules can be bent.

I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that.

Look, I can't go running to the authorities.

I am the authority.

Clayton is a loose cannon

and don't you have enough on him by now?

He's also an effective officer with the luck of the Devil.

You can't dislodge him that easily.

Sometimes wonder if you might be happier in a different line of work.

Don't waste your time wondering. It isn't your core.

I might surprise you.

Surprise me with one of these.

Find a way to get rid of him.

And keep my name out of it.

Tony from Dalston.

Doesn't quite have the playboy ring to it.

Expansive taste though!

Oh dear! We've got to give him credit for aiming high!

The guy that nicked my Visa went to Nando's.

He's got fake student IDs

for every high and college in town.

He's been Anton, Antoine, Anton, Anton... Adonis?

So he mixes with the rich foreign students by posing as one of them.

He's been Italian, Latvian, Swedish and American, whatever suits the con.

Yeah, we'll have to seal the flat and seize the contents.

Oh yeah! Anything on the laptop?

No. Password-protected.

Nice watch.

It's got an inscription.

"To Sasha."

Think that were useful?

IT guy had this for you.

Thanks.

Hum, so... what led Harry to... set his eyes on the deputy-mayor?

Whatever you can tell me... doesn't have to go any further.

There's this one retired officer who used to work with Frierson.

Jim Stepton?

It all seemed to take off after Harry bumped into him.

There you go. What's that?
