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!

QUIETLY: 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.
