Code of Silence

The gang's last robbery was a jeweller's.

Innocent member of the public got shot.

DOOR WHIRRING

How did you find out that they're meeting at the ice rink?

Well, I saw a text on Liam's phone.

'Do you talk a lot with Liam?'

Yeah. Because how else can I get close to him?

Anything you can get on that woman there in the navy blazer.

She's Chandra Baskhi. She works for the steel millionaire Amir Joshi.

I'm getting you through the tech. Those are nothing to do with me.

You're in this now.

There is something about this I don't feel comfortable with.

We don't wanna park too close.

Please be careful around Liam.

SEAT BELT CLICKS

Alison, spit it out.

OK. If we...

If you got Liam on, er, conspiracy...

Conspiracy, yeah.

..how long would he be looking at?

Put it this way - if you help us get him,

before they go in with guns, then he... he might have a life.

Right. OK.

Alison, if you have feelings for this guy, there's...

You... No, Liam likes me.

I'm just playing along. Yeah. There's a fine line...

Look, I know what I'm doing.

KNOCK ON DOOR, KEYBOARD CLACKING

HE EXHALES

So...

One kiss, and then you just ran away?

HE SIGHS

I'm sorry.

HE CHUCKLES SOFTLY Do you wanna...?

I, er...

I've been away a couple of days, that's all.

Visiting a mate.

And moving to a new place?

Er, yeah. Braden needed his old place back.

So just like that? Yeah, it was urgent.

Is this all about your job?

Are you trying to protect me from... whatever it is that you're doing?

I can't tell you anything more.

And I completely understand if that's not enough for you.

Mm. OK.

No more questions.

Except one more.

CHUCKLES SOFTLY Mm.

Are people gonna get hurt?

Look, I know what sort of guy Braden is,

but brains...

..trumps brawn.

Always.

Hm.

I wanna see you again.

I wanna see you every day,

if you'll let me.

But I can't tell you what I'm doing.

Ben, walk us through what we know.

OK. Chandra Baskhi. Oversees transport for Amir Joshi.

Could've been Chandra who alerted the gang to the jewels.

And we have a confirmed location on where the jewels are right now?

Yeah. The family have an account with Croesus International Vaults.

Their London branch is in Mayfair.

And we've finally found the mysterious "Sammy".

Genius used his credit card at the bar.

Sammy Turner, software engineer at...

Croesus International. Mm-hm.

And we've contacted the company or the auctioneers?

No, we don't wanna spook anyone, but the auctioneers have confirmed

the jewels are going on sale in five days.

Which is promising, but the gang stopped communicating.

You're not getting around weight-sensitive vaults

without some kind of rehearsal.

Yeah, exactly. So where are they practising?

Because unless we gather evidence for a conspiracy charge,

we've got to move in on them at the vault, and then we risk bodies.

So... JAMES SIGHS

Let's keep all eyes and ears open. Let's look at lock-ups.

Let's find out where they're working from,

where they're keeping their weapons.

Let's dig. Quietly.

FOOTSTEPS DESCENDING

DOOR OPENS

DOOR CLOSES

Thanks. Cheers.

DOOR OPENS

What can I get for you?

You're a friend of Liam's.

Yeah.

How did you...?

I'm Helen. He must've mentioned me.

I learned not to ask.

Good.

Liam's asked to take you on a work trip.

As I'll be paying, I thought I'd better get a proper look at you.

And...?

Where did you work before The Tap?

At the Orchard House Cafe.

Have you been? No.

Mm. LIQUID POURING

Liam says that you live with your mum.

Yeah. No dad around?

BOTTLE CAP UNSCREWING

He left.

Is that everything?

Yeah.

I reckon so.

Are we going away?

At The Tap, a woman came by, and she said that she was your boss.

Really?

She gave me a right grilling.

I'm sorry.

So, where is Helen taking us?

Fancy hotel.

Separate rooms, obviously.

Mm.

So, Liam has invited me away.

Overnight?

A day trip.

Is it mostly work, or is it mostly fun?

Healthy mix... I hope.

So...?

I need to find something to wear.

'London again?'

He didn't say. Must've said something. I mean...

I mean, did he tell you what the trip was for?

Sorry I'm late. Traffic was awful.

Liam is talking to Alison again.

He did tell me...

that he has a plan to make sure no-one gets hurt on this job.

So he's starting to trust you.

I suppose he must.

OK.

Thoughts, Ash?

Yeah, I think you should go. I think she should go.

OK. Anything you can get from Liam,

anything... Yeah.

..could be essential.

Wow.

Thanks.

Thank you.

HE EXHALES, CHUCKLES

I was worried that you'd change your mind.

I nearly did.

But then I haven't been to a five-star hotel before,

and I'm about to become homeless, so...

HE SIGHS

How about we leave Liam and Alison at home today?

Yeah, that's fine by me.

Good. Because when we get to the front desk,

they'll call me by another name.

Just play along, yeah?

OK.

SHE CHUCKLES SOFTLY, ENGINE STARTS

ENGINE REVS

Sir?

We found out where the Joshi family are staying in London.

Good. Mayfair Regency Hotel.

It's just down the road from the auctioneers.

Great. We heard from Alison?

No, not yet. OK.

Guv, can I ask you a question? Uh-huh.

Why so obsessed with the rookie when it's Helen's op?

Because he's not a rookie.

I mean, skills like his, you hone them. Takes years.

So... who is he?

What's his link to the gang?

Why's he suddenly taken Danny Heath's position?

And why is it we don't know anything about this lad

from before five years ago?

GUESTS CHATTER

Welcome.

Thank you.

Bags in the back. Thank you. Sure. No problem.

A room under "Jack Standford", please.

Of course.

Welcome to the Hawthorne Estate Hotel, Mr and Mrs Standford.

THEY CHUCKLE SOFTLY

Not sure how I feel about taking your name.

Who says I didn't take yours?

Your lucky day, sir.

Looks like management's upgraded you to the Milton Suite.

Really? Mm-hm.

Amazing. Thank you. Can I show you to your room?

No, no. I think we'll manage. Yeah?

LIAM CHUCKLES SOFTLY

CLOCK CHIMES

It really was our lucky day.

No. That was the day that you got yourself a hacker for a husband.

Wait, you did this?

Yeah. I had to get in and bump us up.

The suite's only room with two beds...

Mm.

SHE CHUCKLES SOFTLY

OK. Yeah.

HE CHUCKLES

So, what's the plan?

Taking you to dinner.
