Legacy.

That's what I've been
thinking of lately.

How brutal legacy can be.

How cruelly dismissive.

How it takes one's life in full...

..with all its glory and failure...

..all its love and hate...

..the thrill and mundanity...

..the years...

..enjoyed and endured...

..everything that goes into
making a life.

Legacy takes all that and reduces
and reduces and reduces...

..and spits out
its spiteful conclusion.

Which, in my case, is Brink's-Mat.

That is the epitaph...

..the obituary...

..of the years...

..I have spent on this Earth.

Not one second of my life counts...

..but for the seconds I spent within
the orbit of Brink's-Mat.

You will not grant me
my freedom today.

I will serve my full sentence.

There'll be no clemency, no mercy.

And that is because it does not
matter who I was before. It...

..does not matter
who I am in here.

It matters only that I am tainted...

..by Brink's-Mat.

That is why, in here, they cheer me,

or ask me questions...

..or come to me
with their tawdry plots,

or say to me,
"Well done, Cooper, you showed 'em".

And I think that is why
they're in here.

Because they believe there is
victory in infamy.

I wish I thought so, too.

I wish I didn't sit in that cell...

..thinking of everything I had
and how I lost it...

..sending my mind to
ever darker places.

That is why you cannot grant me
my freedom,

because there is
no freedom to grant.

And in that,
I find a solitary solace.

That it is not just me.

There are many men and women,
some in places like this.

Many not.

Some criminal.

Some not.

An unlikely alliance, brought
together by a cold morning

at Heathrow...

..and three tonnes of gold.

We are a union...

..of ruined souls.

All with our lives cruelly
distilled.

All trapped.

All tainted.

All nothing but one thing.

We are Brink's-Mat.

That is our past.

That is our future.

That...

..is our legacy.

KEYS JANGLE

You must be sick of seeing me.

Crossed that bridge a while back.

Plead guilty to
the financial charges,

tell me where your money is,
and you won't see me again.

Or what?

Or we'll charge you with
the robbery.

HE SCOFFS

What robbery?

You were poor.

Along came the gold,

and then you were rich.

It won't be hard to join the dots.

The thing is, mate,

I don't think you've got
any dots to join.

I've looked after you.

I got you home.

Now look after yourself.

Cop to the money,
and we'll forget the robbery.

You know, being in here...

..it's given me time to think...

..make a few calls,

and learn more about you.

Whatever got you through the night.
Some people say you're bent.

Some people are misinformed.

A copper being called bent is like
a villain being called a grass.

Doesn't matter if it's true or not.

Being called it
leaves you vulnerable.

When you're kipping
in your cell tonight...

..and I'm kipping in my house...

..have a think about
who's vulnerable.

You're right.

You've done OK by me.

I might even work my way
to missing you...

..when you're gone.

Where would I be going?

All I know is we're not
so different.

You'll do everything you can
to send me down.

And I'll do everything I can...

..to stop you.

What's that thing that they
say about generals?

That they're always fighting
the last war.

I wasn't a general,
and this is the same war.

Yeah.

I suppose it is.

Don't do it.

I have to.

Plead guilty.

Have a life beyond this.

HE SIGHS

I've got to fight, Mr Boyce.

The fight is all I've got left.

No lawyer in London will
look at your case,

then stand at the Old Bailey
and argue your innocence.

That's correct.

I gave them 300 grand

and they couldn't come up
with a defence.

So...

..I'll be defending myself.

You can't read. You can't write.

It is a highly complex fraud trial,
and you shall defend yourself?

Can't say I'm not ambitious.

Where's Noye?

You know what people get
wrong about me and Noye?

They think we were thick as thieves.

Bonnie and fucking Clyde.

Yeah, I met Kenny Noye,
along the way,

but I never really knew the man.

And I don't think anyone really did,
no matter how hard they looked.

And I'll tell you one thing
about Kenny Noye.

There's always someone
looking for him.

WAITER SPEAKS IN SPANISH

Hola, Senor Green.

Hello, mate.
What can I get you?

What have you got?

We have the fish stew.

I thought you might.

Every day is the same.

Yeah. You're right there.

When are they running it?

Sunday. Front page.

The News Of The World have
got it, Sir,

that we're looking for Noye.

Then call a press conference.

Sorry, Sir?

What do we know?

Well, Noye's in Spain.

And he knows we're after him.

Yeah. We know nothing,
because we have seen nothing.

We have heard things.

I don't care if it's a punter,
an informer,

the Met, Regional Crime Squad,
or God-knows-who-else.

All we've done is hear things,

then have local police steam in
and come up empty.

We need someone to see Noye.
Then we need to see Noye.

Then our witness needs to see Noye.

We'd rather do that without
the press,

but if they know,
then we embrace it.

And if Noye's on one front page,
he should be on them all.

Yes?

So call a press conference.

Right. You do telly.
I'll do print.

We will go to trial in England
against Palmer,

and we are assisting the Americans
to place RICO charges against Miller

in Florida, where they can apply far
higher penalties than we can.

One half of the Brink's-Mat gold
and you're prosecuting two men?

With the first half of the gold, we
were successful in securing multiple

convictions, but unsuccessful in
recovering the robbery's proceeds.

This time, Palmer and Miller give us

access to more money than
the Brink's-Mat gold was ever worth.

Those two convictions could lead
to the greatest financial recovery

in the history of British policing,

and we take a criminal fortune
out of circulation,

and stop all the damage that
money like that can do.

Now, that is as significant
a victory

as could be achieved at this point
in the investigation.

But if they're not convicted,
then you don't recover a penny,

and the last few years of this
investigation,

and indeed your career, were wasted.

I am aware of the stakes, Sir.

And you won't be here to guide
it, Boyce. You're out of time.

I know the date of my retirement
is imminent.

However, I would ask that you
consider special dispensation...

You know we can't do that, Boyce.

30 years' service, then you're out.

But you're not quite finished yet.

You'll charge Miller with
the robbery before you go.

No, that was a bluff at our end.

We don't have enough evidence to
prove he was on the robbery.

The nation knows you caught
a Brink's-Mat robber, Boyce,

it was on the television.

Therefore, he will be charged with
the Brink's-Mat robbery.

With respect, Sir,
this is a time to focus.

I am attempting to close
one of the most complicated

cases in the Met's history.

Brink's-Mat will not close
while four robbers walk free

and Kenneth Noye is on the run.

You are seeking a simplicity that
Brink's-Mat does not offer.

And Kenneth Noye is one problem
that does not belong to me.

Don't you fucking dare.

HE SIGHS

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

Go to a payphone and call me
back on this number.

It's raining.

Just get a fucking pen, Brian.

PHONE RINGS

I've been seen. Where?

Gibraltar.

What are you doing down there?

Getting something to eat that hasn't
come out the bloody sea.

You didn't tell me about the papers.

How could I? If you gave me
a number, it would help.

It's time to speak to our friends.

See what they can do on the charges.

What about the sighting?

It's not a problem.
As long as it's not the only one.

In one day last week,
Noye was playing golf in Cyprus,

eating lunch in Portugal,
and getting a nose job in Brazil.

Then he flew in on a private
plane to Biggin Hill

and went for a Chinese
in West Kingsdown.

Over 100 sightings
in 13 countries,

called in over the last 24 hours.

We're being swamped.

Which means one of them is true,

which means he's still got some
friends left.

So, let's go through his file again
and find his friends.

Well, where do we start?

It's Kenneth Noye.

Start with the gold.

They know about the historical
accusations against Lundy,

and there are a couple of new
allegations in there

for good measure.

May I ask your thoughts, gentlemen,

on this latest humiliation for
the once-great Metropolitan Police?

My thoughts are Miller's smarter
than I thought he was.

I expected a brick through
my window, not this.

You think this is Miller's work?
I don't know, Ma'am.

I'd check my enemies list,
but I'd have to take a week off.

That's your response?

My response is, once again,

I have never been involved in
corrupt practices.

I've also never been afraid to nick
anyone who needed nicking, including

those that do the same handshakes as
some of the people in this building.

What are you suggesting, Lundy?

That I'm the best thief taker at
Scotland Yard, I'm also

the most investigated
copper at Scotland Yard,

and I don't think that's
a coincidence.

Sir.

Boyce, what are your findings
on Lundy's record?

My conclusion is that Lundy sails
close to the wind

and gets too close to informants,

but I've never personally seen any
evidence of wrongdoing.

He's also integral to
the Miller case.

If we are to go through this
charade at the Old Bailey,

trying to prosecute Miller
for the Brink's-Mat robbery, then

having Lundy on board gives us
a minute possibility of success.

In that case, Lundy is
suspended pending

investigation from the moment
the Old Bailey proceedings conclude.

I'd best take my bus fare
with me, then.

Sir, if you need me to step aside,
I'll understand.

How close are the Americans to
bringing charges against Miller?

Well, they'll be in place
by the time the verdict

comes in on the robbery trial.

He can go from our custody
to theirs.

You're assuming there will be
a verdict.

What happens
if the charges are thrown out?

Well, then he walks.

And if the Americans aren't ready,
then we never see him again.

Then all I need you to do is to stop
that from happening.

Thank you, Sir.

Reader does all that gold with Noye,

and he ends up with a car yard
in South London.

That's better than how some of
them ended up.

Yeah, that's true.

It's him.

Shit!

Your Honour, Mr Charles Miller has
been charged with armed robbery

for his involvement in the theft
of three tonnes of gold bullion

from the Brink's-Mat warehouse in
Heathrow in 1983.

As you will have read
from our filing,

we have a plethora of evidence.

Before the robbery, Mr Miller held
little financial reserves,

and lived in a humble
South London home.

In the months after the robbery,
he relocated to Spain

and his life was transformed
into one of great wealth.

We can prove links between Mr Miller

and convicted Brink's-Mat criminals,
and that he set up businesses

in the Isle Of Man which we believe
were used to launder money.

Thank you, Your Honour.

That's it?

For now.

Well, in that case, I find that
there is insufficient evidence

to proceed, and Mr Miller is
discharged with immediate effect.

Thank you, Your Honour.

Guv!

Come on! I've been here before,
it don't take this long.

KEYS JANGLE

Ah, hello, lads!

Call us a taxi, will you?

I've got a pint in Rotherhithe
with my name on it.

Charles Miller?

Oh, here we go.

You're to be extradited with
immediate effect to

the state of Florida,

to answer charges that you
did help to steal or launder

proceeds of the
1983 Brink's-Mat robbery.

Safe journey, Miller.

Fine.

I'll beat them like I beat you.

And you two,
you should be fucking embarrassed.

The world and his wife knows
I was on the Brink's-Mat job

and I'll never serve a day for it.

There were six men there that day.

You got McAvoy and Robinson.

That leaves four.

Where are they, then?
I know exactly where they are.

They're not here, though, are they?

This isn't about the robbery,
Miller.

It hasn't been about the robbery
for a long time.

It is about money.

Dirty, dangerous money.

And it is about us taking that
money from people like you.

So I hope that you enjoyed it,

as you drove back to South London
with three tonnes of gold.

I hope that is a memory that has
value for you.

Because it is all that
you will have left.

All that gold, all that money,
and all you will have is

a memory that will fade,
until one day it's gone, too.

And you'll sit
with that pint in Rotherhithe

and wonder if any of this
ever happened at all.

Fuck!

Well done, Lundy.
Nice way to finish.

Don't do it. You know, Sir,
back when the first complaint

was made against me,
I started running.

I needed to get the anger out.

So I ran.
A few miles, to clear my head.

And I kept it up.

So when they call me in to rake me
over the coals, I run.

These days, I run marathons.

That's how much they've come for me.

That's how much I've run.

And, you know, I can't run forever,

so I've quit, Sir.

I've thrown in the towel.

Thank you for having me.

You're the last of a kind, Lundy.

Some will say that's a good thing.

Not me. Well, then maybe we're not
so different, Sir.

Who were they?

Kent Police.

They didn't even make it
out of Kent.

You should have seen me, Kenny.

I was like bloody James Bond.

Yeah, well, whoever gets me,
it's not going to be Kent Police.

No, no-one's going to get you.

According to the papers,
you're all over the shop.

Right. What about the other thing?

It's not going to happen.

We won't know that
until I've had the conversation.

That's what I'm trying to say.

The conversation's not happening.

How do you figure that, then?

Your friends at the Yard
were asked to have

a conversation about manslaughter,

and, well, they all said no.

Why?

Well, because the Kent coppers
are all as straight as a die,

and because you're Kenny Noye.

There's a system between us
and them...

..and it's been around
for a very long time.

All them meetings I've been to,
all that money that I've given them,

all them handshakes,
and where is it, Brian?

Where's the fucking system?

What I don't understand
is you were out.

You were out, and then what you went
and done... You get nicked,

you make a call, you have
a conversation.

That's how it works.
That's how it's always worked.

And, yeah, you do some bird,
but not all of it.

You don't do fucking all of it!
If you can't handle the bird,

then you shouldn't have done what
you did... It's not the bird

I can't handle, Brian, it's this!

I can't fucking live like
this forever! Yeah, well,

you and me both.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means you need to find
a way out of this.

KENNY EXHALES

No, I know what it means.

Being on your toes this long,
I know what happens.

Every day, I lose a friend
and I gain an enemy.

There's a few ways
out of this, Brian,

and none of them are good.

Brightwell? Lundy's moved on.

Oh, shame.

Great detective.

Co-ordinate with the Americans.

When the time comes,
take Baxter over there

and make sure
he testifies against Miller.

OK, Sir.

Where are we on Palmer?

Well, it's going to be one of
the biggest fraud cases in

British history, so it's about
as fun as it sounds.

We're working with Roy Ramm
and Tony Curtis at Flying Squad,

and speaking to Bob McCunn,
the solicitor for the

Brink's-Mat insurers.
Build the case from the ground up.

A case like this, Sir, it's going
to take time. It will.

And I'm afraid that is time
I don't have.

We were, erm...
HE CLEARS THROAT

..wondering how close you were, Sir,

to your 30.

Well, if you won't tell them,
I will. It's today.

It's now.

30 years of service to the day.

Well, I'm guessing you don't
want a party, Sir?

I couldn't think of anything worse.

We're not ready for you to go, Sir.

Careers like mine,

cases like this, don't end neatly.

You achieve what you can and you
seek the best ending available.

And with Brink's-Mat,
we have an ending...

You have an ending within
your grasp.

Palmer, Miller, and the money.

That is success.

That is victory.

But it won't be easy.

And I am sorry
that I won't be here to help.

And it is hard.

It is hard to leave with
the job half-done.

It is hard to leave when I think of
all that we've gone through.

It is hard to leave
when I think of...

..John Fordham.

But this is what we do.

We give the work the years we can,
then we leave

and the work continues.

So I ask that you see my departure

as the irrelevance it is.

I ask you to see it through.

And I ask you to get back to work.

Thank you, Sir.

Thank you, Sir.

Thank you.

And good luck.

PHONE RINGS

Taskforce.

Yeah, go on.

I'm going to tell you a story.

It is the story
of a long-running racket.

Innocent tourists were
tricked into handing over

large sums of money
they could ill afford.

17,000 victims paid over
£30 million to

companies that all led to one man -

John Palmer.

In the treacherous
waters of the Canary Islands,

this man was the biggest shark.

He was Aladdin's wicked uncle,
travelling the streets,

calling, "New lamps for old,"

only to leave his victims shivering
in the dark.

British time-share customers fell
victim... If this is his plan,

we're in trouble.

Fraud cases are complicated,
they need to be explained carefully.

A jury trial is about the jury,

and the jury are bored
out of their minds.

Now, the fraud itself
I shall call the "buy-sell".

So picture, if you will,
two distinct entities.

An existing time-share...

This isn't about me,
this isn't about sharks,

and it certainly
isn't about bloody Aladdin.

CHUCKLING

No, this is about money.

Your money,
and how they're spending it.

They reckon that this could be
the most expensive trial

in British history, and for what?

For some bloke from Solihull whose
company flogged a few time-shares?

But I'm not just some
bloke from Solihull, am I?

This started with
that Mat's-Brink business,

and that's how it's ending.

Ever since I got found innocent o
f that stuff, right here,

in the Old Bailey,

the coppers,

they've had a vendetta against me.

Well...

..if I have to beat them again,
that's what I'll do.

I'm just... I'm sorry that you lot
were dragged into it,

but I'll do my best
to put on a bit of a show,

all right?
CHUCKLING

OK?

Well, they're not bored now. No.

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

Where?

Cadiz.

Where's that? It's south-west Spain.

Very quiet. Very hidden.

I bought these tickets
with my own money.

Don't tell your families
where you're going.

Where has this come from, Sir?

It would appear that Noye is
living in the Cadiz area,

and this is an address where
we might find him.

I'm sorry I can't come with you,
but seeing as the press saw fit

to print my photo next to Noye's,
it's probably not a good idea.

Do we have backup, Sir?

No.

And we know, maybe more than anyone,
who we're dealing with.

Noye isn't some old-school villain
who's done a bit of nicking.

He's a vicious, murderous cancer
on society

who has killed two human beings.

To voluntarily go into that,
without backup,

well, if you don't want to go,

I'll understand and send in
the Spanish.

But an innocent young man
was murdered

and left to die in the gutter
on the streets of Kent,

and I feel very strongly that it

is Kent Police who should
deal with that.

So do we, Sir.

Then go and get him.

Good morning, everyone.

Mr Baxter,
this is a suit brought under

the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act,

also known as the RICO Act,

which accuses the named parties of
helping to steal or launder proceeds

from a robbery at the Brink's-Mat
warehouse in Heathrow, England.

You are here to answer the claim
that you were part of that

criminal conspiracy.

Do you admit or deny
liability in this case?

To my eternal shame,
and with a heavy heart,

I admit liability.

My decision on the criminal
damages against you will be

determined alongside any
co-conspirators,

but I can advise that it will be in
the region

of $8 million to $10 million.

You'd be lucky.

I gather we will also be hearing
witness testimony from you.

That's very much the plan.

I look forward to it.

Likewise.

Mr Miller, this is a suit
brought under

the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organisations Act,

also known as the RICO Act,

which accuses the named parties...
Maybe he'll cop to the lot.

Maybe. Then we can all go home.

Not on the same plane.

That would be horrendous.

You are here to answer the claim
that you were part of that

criminal conspiracy.

Do you admit or deny
liability in this case?

With all respect, Your Honour,
I would like to wholeheartedly

deny liability in this case.

OK, Mr Miller, please take a seat.

We will continue...
Looks like we're staying.

I would ask that the court resumes
in 30 minutes' time.

So you're the money expert, are you?

I'm a Senior Investigation Officer

for Her Majesty's Customs
and Excise. Yeah.

We all heard your testimony.

Anyone who managed to stay
awake anyway.

Now, what I heard was that some
people got ripped off,

but not by me, and that I'm rich
and that annoys you.

What I have just testified to,
at some length, is widespread fraud.

That's a matter of opinion.

So what I think we're seeing
here is a conspiracy

between you, the coppers, and the
gold's insurers to take me down.

If it's a conspiracy,
why did you pay

the Brink's-Mat insurers £3 million?
To get them off my back.

And, let's be honest, for me,
£3 million doesn't touch the sides.

Really? I believe you are in
somewhat reduced circumstances.

Oh, yeah? Do a lot of blokes in
reduced circumstances

have a private plane?
They could have sued me

for 50 million, not 3. It's an
interesting tactic in a fraud trial,

to boast about significant
hidden wealth.

Yeah, but that's just it.

I'm not hiding anything.

I'm a very rich man - you might have
read about that in the Sunday Times.

The idea that I'm going about
nicking five grand here,

and ten grand there,
off some poor bloke on his holiday,

it just doesn't add up.

17,000 people on their holidays.

Did I ever personally sell anyone
a time-share? That's not the point.

Did I ever personally receive
the money for a time-share?

There was a network of companies...
So I never sold a time-share,

and I never took the money.

Er...

Your witness, mate.

I've already examined her.

Mr Palmer, please allow me
to direct the court.

Yeah, absolutely. You're the boss.

We've got a lead, Sir.

There was an English bloke,
going by the name of Green,

renting a place in the village,

eating in the restaurant,
keeping himself to himself.

What do you mean "was"?

He hasn't been seen for a while.

But it makes sense, if it's him.

This place is in the
arse end of nowhere.

Then keep your heads down
and your eyes open.

There's one other thing, Sir.

Apparently we're not the first
people to come asking questions.

Yeah, well,
that would make sense, too.

Eight to ten million?!

Where the hell do they think I'll
get that from? It's good.

We wanted it high.

Your damages will be a marker
for what she applies to Miller.

I understand the concept
of escalating

criminal conspiracy, Detective.
I read law at Cambridge.

Oh, really?
You've barely mentioned it!

Sleep well? Like a baby.

HE CLEARS THROAT

TELEPHONE RINGS

Biddiss.
Just heard, Sir, about the story.

I don't believe it.

They're saying he was taken out
on a contract by some

of the Brink's-Mat lot.
And that makes sense, Sir.

It needed to make sense for them
to plant it in the paper.

I don't believe it,
so we keep going.

OK, Sir.

We keep going.

It's a bit fucking much, Brian.

Yeah, well, that's the thing.

That wasn't one of ours.

Everyone's getting looked at,
pulled in.

If it ain't the coppers,
it's the press.

People are sick of it.

And maybe that story...

I don't know, Kenny...

Maybe it's a message.

These people that are sick of it,
Brian, does that include you?

I didn't say that.

You don't need this, do you?

No.

You've done well out of the gold.

Now you're free as a bird.

No. Yeah. No, I ain't.

My solicitors got a letter
off the Brink's-Mat insurer.

They're looking for dough off
everyone connected to the gold,

or they file civil cases
and take us all to the cleaners.

Apparently they hit
Palmer for three million quid.

Good. And apparently they want
three million off you.

HE SCOFFS

Never ends, does it?

It never fucking ends.

You know, Brian, I used to
love going to the woods.

I'd poach rabbits...

..then I'd go back to my big house,

my family, my life.

Now I don't go back to nothing.

Now I'm just a bloke in the woods.

And no matter how much
I try to work it out...

..I don't know how I got here.

BRIAN SCOFFS

I mean, from what I had and where I
was, how the fuck did I end up here?

You put yourself here, Kenny,

with what's inside you.

Here's my message, Brian,
to anybody who needs to hear it.

I ain't giving myself up.

And I'm going to get out of here,
one way or another,

because it is
doing my fucking head in!

Who's winning?

I don't know. And the fact that
I don't know is worrying.

Do you need me
to help finesse your strategy?

Well, I'm going to give my
testimony, then I'm going to try

and wind him up, let the jury see
another side of him.

That's my entire strategy.

Right. Well, high stakes, then.

It's the Old Bailey, mate.

They only do high stakes.

Mr Miller, have you reviewed
the case against you?

I've done what I can with it.

With all respect, it's
a little long-winded.

I agree it's comprehensive,

which makes your denial of liability
all the more surprising.

Here's what happened.

I met a gentleman,
who's relaxing over there,

who told me about another gentleman
who could oversee the investment of

some money I had been lucky enough
to make through a business venture.

Now, it is possible I will have to
sit down with the taxman

when this is over,
and I accept that.

But not only did my money
not come from that robbery,

I have been cleared of any
involvement in that robbery

back in London.

Mr Miller, this hearing is
not about the robbery.

It is about the proceeds of
that robbery, and we have

witnesses who testify that you were
the originator of those proceeds.

Oh, yeah?

Where are they, then?
We will hear testimony shortly.

And there is submitted
testimony from a co-conspirator

who's in federal witness protection.

I don't blame him.

Telling lies that could ruin
a man's life,

that's a dangerous game.

Can't be many people daft enough
to do that in public.

I can't do it.
You can, and you will.

You heard what he said!

If that was a veiled threat, then
it wasn't much of a bloody veil!

You've been co-operating for
a long time.

If something was going to happen to
you, it would have happened by now.

So you're going to go in there
and say you acted in conspiracy

with Miller. If you don't, then
between me and the Americans,

the rest of your life's
going to be a lot, lot harder.

OK.

Nixon. Nix... Nixon!

That's him, innit?

How sure are you?

It's him, Sir. He ate alone at
a restaurant, then we tailed him

to some woods outside the village.

I'm sending out the witness.

I don't need to tell you what that
means, and the danger involved.

No, Sir.

You don't.

You resent me, don't you?

For the embarrassment that
I caused you over the gold.

Well, we believe that criminals
should be punished for the crimes

they commit, but that's sort of our
job, though, isn't it?

How's that going, by the way,
with the gold? Have you...?

Have you found it yet?

We found the money, which is
worth a lot more than the gold.

And we're taking it back,
starting with you.

What I have,
I earned through honest graft.

As I testified, we believe that what
you have was earned through

criminal fraud on a grand scale.

Tell me, Detective, all that
dough that the insurers

are clawing out of people,
where is it going? No idea.

Maybe we should have a little
look in YOUR bank account.

As long as you pay off my overdraft
while you're there.

What's your intention here,
Mr Palmer?

I just think that the jury should
know that I am

a legitimate businessman
who's being unfairly targeted

by a corrupt witch-hunt.

You're not a businessman,
you're a serious organised criminal.

Name me one serious crime
I've committed.

Well, you were on the telly,
offering to launder 60 million quid.

That was a stitch-up. Oh, yeah,
could have happened to anyone -

accidentally heading up the Ritz to
tell some bloke from Burma

you'll clean his dough. You listen
to me! No, you listen to me.

Mr Palmer...
I'm the one on trial!

I'm aware of that. Once this is
over, I am going to sue you

for everything you've got.

Mr Palmer...

Did you not hear that
bit about my overdraft?

You're corrupt! You're all corrupt!
MURMURING

No, no, no, you can't say that,
Mr Palmer!

Good afternoon, Mr Baxter.

Good day to you, madam.

This is not your first
time in a courtroom.

No.

You have several convictions
in the United Kingdom,

for financial crimes
and for taking Class A drugs

in a fast-food establishment.

It was a restaurant,

and I have accepted any mistakes
I have made with genuine humility.

And now you have the opportunity
to do so again.

Do you see any of your
co-conspirators in the room today?

Mr Baxter?

I believe it was
Robert Browning who said,

"Ah, but a man's reach should exceed
his grasp, or what's a heaven for?"

Oh, for fuck's sake...

I stand before you today,

not as a criminal conspirator...

..but as a ruined romantic.

Now, if you are accusing me
of attempting to

wring a little glitter
from the rags of life,

then I hold my hands high
in surrender.

You stand before us accused of
money-laundering, Mr Baxter.

Now, please, answer the question.

I am answering the question

by proposing one of my own.

When one's head is full of fizz
and sparkle,

then does one
truly take notice of those

who join one on the journey?

Are these companions even
companions at all?

It's an interesting concept...
Mr Baxter,

for the final time, do you see
any of your co-conspirators

in this courtroom today?

No, Your Honour.

I'm afraid I do not.

I understand your disappointment.

I don't think you do.

I think you're going to be surprised
by the extent of my disappointment.

Campbell's evidence is
comprehensive.

Miller will be convicted without me.
You'd better hope so!

There have been killings,
have there not, from Brink's-Mat?

Some of which have been reported,
and some of which have not.

The problem you
and your colleagues have

is that the threat you hold is
less than the threat THEY hold.

Hola, Senor Green.

Just bring me what you've got.

Very good.

He's here, Sir.

How is she?

She's bloody brave is what she is.

What's the plan?

The Spanish police cause
a diversion, the three of us

go in quick and come out quicker.

If he sees her,
then I don't know what happens next.

He won't. Good.

Any questions? No. Yeah?
OK, brilliant. Let's go.

Well, Mr Palmer,
it's been quite a ride.

You don't know the half of it.

Oh, I think we know enough.

The police and your victims have
detailed your criminal activity,

financial experts
have testified to your fraud,

and now we reach you.

Saved the best till last.
JURY CHUCKLES

The final piece of the jigsaw in
a case such as this is character.

And, quite simply, Mr Palmer,

you are of criminal character.

Rubbish.
Why did you come home to the UK?

Uh, I missed England.

You weren't under threat from
criminal associates?

I don't have any
criminal associates.

You are said to spend more than
a million pounds a year

on bodyguards.

Yeah, I like the company.
CHUCKLING

We've heard testimony of you
personally threatening people.

I've not threatened anyone.

Look, I'm no angel,
but I'm no gangster.

Then why do so many people
think that you are?

No idea.

But what I do know is this.

I built a bloody empire.

Even your witnesses admit that.

And I think that's what
this is all about.

John Palmer building an empire,

and you lot not being able to
live with that.

MURMURING

Empires fall, Mr Palmer.

Yeah, well, we'll see about that.

ARGUING IN SPANISH

Positive ID.

Get her home and keep eyes on Noye.

I need to see the CPS
and get a warrant.

ARGUING IN SPANISH

Senor Green? You are finished?

Come here.

Who were they? Who?

Those people.

What people? The people. The people
that fucking walked right past me.

There was...

There was... There was...
There was a woman.

I think there was a woman.

I don't understand. What woman?

OK. Shut up. Shut up.
Shut up. Just let me think.

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

Do we have him?

What time is it?

Early. You?

It's late.

Early. Bit of both.

Do we have him?

I don't know.

Boyce left us in charge and we
don't know if we have him?

They're court cases, Nic.

You don't know anything
until the verdict.

And he left us in charge
because he trusted us.

So we should trust
that he got that right.

SHE SCOFFS

I never thought it'd be on us.

Yeah, well, you were the one who
wanted to go over the river.

Glad you came with me?

Yeah.

And now I'm going back to sleep.

Good luck, mate.

Good luck, mate.

I'm going. Going where?
I don't know, I don't know.

I'm fucking losing it here.

I'll skip the border
in the Pyrenees

and then head to Amsterdam.

I know people there from the gold.

You keep your head down, Brian.

They can't watch you forever.

Oh, they've given up on me.

What? What do you mean?

They left a few days back.

I must have bored them.

Well, if they're not watching you,
then who are they watching?

I don't know, Kenny.
It's the Old Bill.

They'll always be watching someone.

DOOR SHUTS

The Magistrate's here.
He knows you're waiting.

Well, I'm glad to hear it.
PHONE RINGS

Yeah?

Noye's packing up, Sir.

I think he's getting ready to go.
Can we stop him?

Not yet you can't.
Give me five minutes.

I don't think we've got
that long, Sir.

I need a warrant signed.

Then you shall wait, Mr Biddiss.

I have a hearing to attend.
I just stopped a train to get

the CPS to sign off on the arrest.

I've got the Foreign Office
preparing an extradition,

a military plane on standby,
and the Home Office, Interpol

and the Spanish police
waiting for this warrant.

Kenneth Noye?
Don't file it until Monday.

Sir? Go!

Go!

I have now reached a judgment
in the case of Mr Charles Miller.

Please stand, Mr Miller.

Has the jury reached a verdict?

We have, Your Honour.

TWIG SNAPS

He's running! Go, go, go!

I find the defendant...

..guilty.

No.

Guilty.

Taking into account the amount
stolen from Brink's-Mat

and the appreciation of those assets
through criminal endeavours,

I award damages against you

of $151 million,

to be seized from any
assets and all bank accounts

held or controlled by Mr Miller.

Mr Palmer, this was clearly
a fraud on a substantial scale,

and therefore merits
a substantial judgment.

I hereby sentence you to
eight years of imprisonment,

and place a confiscation order
against you of

£33,243,812...

..and 46 pence.

Who are you, then?

Kent Police.

You're going home, Noye.

PHONE RINGS

Hello. We've got him, Sir.

Thank you.

Are you lost, Sir?

I was in the area,
and thought I'd test your security.

Which is appalling.

And I wanted to offer
congratulations,

and appreciation.

Well, you told us to keep
working, Sir.

I've been keeping a tally
from the newspapers.

Between the Palmer trial,
the Fort Lauderdale proceedings,

the confiscation orders
against Campbell, and the insurers'

settlements, the financial penalties
linked to the Brink's-Mat robbery

are approaching £200 million.

Sounds about right.

Which means the legacy of the
biggest robbery in British history

is the biggest financial result in
the history of British policing.

And do you know what they
said to us upstairs, Sir,

for the 200 million?

"Clear out the office, and don't
take the piss with your expenses."

THEY CHUCKLE

We didn't get 'em all, Sir.

No. And that is hard,

because you don't remember
the ones you caught.

You remember the ones you didn't.

You know who they are and what
they did, but you can't touch them,

you can't name them.

And one day you run out of time
and you've got to let them go.

This was one of the toughest cases
this country's ever seen.

And one day this country will
know the job we did.

So, thank you...

..and good luck.

Is it over, Sir?

It's Brink's-Mat.

It's never over.

upon the waves

and sing it proud today
