Detective looked for you on the breakfast shift.

This is Detective Inspector Marsh.

James. James.

I-I can do it

if you tell me what it is.

'We're all watching a gang who are planning a robbery.'

They're careful to meet in places where we can't bug them.

That's why we need a lip-reader so we can understand what's being said.

Who is that?

No idea. Liam.

Liam Barlow 29.

'Look these people are dangerous. You don't wanna get close to them.'

'The Tap is a pub right? And they put Liam in a flat nearby.'

I could see a lot more if you just get me closer.

You really really need to leave the investigating to us.

Are you like a regular here? No just moved in around the corner.

TYRES SCREECH Alison?!

There. What's that? What did he say there?

MUFFLED CONVERSATION

SPEECH MUTED

..missing this. What is this? Yeah.

Sorry.

He didn't turn up for a meeting.

And he's asking Cruella to reschedule it.

Why? Why did he not turn up for the meeting?

I-I don't know. It's not clear. RADIO BEEPS

OVER RADIO: '6-0-1.' What's he doing?

Hoodie is taking items out of the carrier bag.

Saying something like "phone"...

..and "switching".

And the driver's not really happy about that.

Driver's phone just went off.

What? Wh-What happened? They're switching the SIM cards.

Oh so you've been getting the messages from the driver. Shit!

Yeah we were intercepting his messages.

RADIO BEEPS All units stand down.

PHONE BUZZES

MUFFLED CHATTER

You should get to your shift. Oh.

But... if you can't read their phone messages

then you're not gonna know when they're gonna meet.

So... what you gonna do?

We'll find another way. Thanks Alison.

JAMES: 'Yeah pull up the recordings will you?'

Right. There. Now who's...? OK so Hoodie.

'Hoodie's not gonna give us anything.

'I mean why would he? So we need something anything.

'Agreed? Anything that vaguely resembles a lead.'

I'm sorry. Sorry.

Liam's new to the gang isn't he? Yeah.

'So he could be our way in. What do we think?'

'Mm.' PHONE BUZZES

'OK they're gonna reschedule this meeting aren't they?

'So we need to find a way to be there yeah?'

'Yeah.'

And we stay focused on Liam.

Oh Antony mate? Erm...

Everything OK? Yeah.

Erm you... you have been changing your SIM card once every three days

like we told you?

Yeah course I have Bray.

It's just Liam thinks we're weak on security.

I've been doing everything you told me to Bray.

Did you... or did you not follow the rules we gave you?

Sarah doesn't like me changing numbers.

She's nearly nine months. She could drop any day.

Sarah. Hm.

ANTONY GROANS

No I... I just...

I was hoping to see Braden.

Yeah later's good.

Oh! Sorry. SHE CHUCKLES

I didn't see you there.

You are...? I'm Alison. I work here.

Alison this is Braden. Our owner. Mm.

Hiring anyone these days. I'll take that.

Just stay out of his way you know?

HE CHUCKLES

HUM OF CONVERSATION

GLASS CLINKING

Hello. Hey.

I... just wanted to see how you are.

Yeah I'm fine. Erm...

The owner Braden do you know him?

He put in a word in for me for this new job.

The guy you were speaking to is that your...?

Yeah he's my ex. Ah. Yeah.

I got major bad vibes.

SHE CHUCKLES

I'm sorry I didn't mean to be so rude.

It's OK.

When you two were like signing it made me think

that's how it must be for you all the time.

Around you know people who can hear.

Yeah. It... It can be like that sometimes.

I was wondering...

Do you wanna come out for a drink sometime?

CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY Erm... yeah.

Er yeah maybe.

Er thank you for taking me to hospital and for driving me home.

You didn't have to do that.

Yeah I did. I knocked you off your bike.

Erm... I better go back to work.

See you later. DOOR OPENS

Mum! Oh!

SIGHS

Oh thank you.

ASHLEIGH: Yeah. Yeah I'll give you that. Mm-hm.

OK. Yeah I'll see you then. I've gotta go. All right. Bye.

Alison. Is everything all right?

Yeah. Erm have you got a minute?

Yeah. Yeah come... come this way.

'What's up?'

Who was James talking to?

Er... James is with the assistant chief constable.

He's trying to get more funding for surveillance.

But we'd never be able to watch them around the clock so...

So you need someone closer to them like an informant.

Yeah but that's easier said than done.

But I've been...

I've been doing some bar work and it's near Liam's flat.

Have you been working at The Canterbury Tap?

Have you made contact with Liam Barlow?

Er... Have a think.

I believe you've been working at The Tap.

I... I went in cos I just wanted to see if he was there and...

But they needed the staff and I just really need a job.

I mean of all the places...

Braden Moore owns The Tap. You know that?

Yeah I... I know.

Was that the only time you made contact with them both?

Erm...

At the bar.

It's a simple question. Just have a think.

That was the only time?

Wh-What?

Ben has been tracing Liam's movements

over the last couple of days

and it seems Liam made a surprise trip to the hospital

night before last.

It was an accident

and he knocked me off my bike.

And then he drove you to the hospital?

Well I think he was just worried.

He just didn't want me calling the police so...

You were the reason why Liam didn't go to that meeting.

It was you.

Erm...

You've risked the entire fucking operation.

I'm sorry but...

you wouldn't have known anything if it wasn't for me.

You were paid Alison. You only paid me minimum wage so...

I should arrest you for misconduct.

But I could actually help!

You know Liam and Braden they're actually meeting.

I saw them talking.

And the meeting's back on.

I don't want your help.

I don't want anything from you.

It is not safe for you to be anywhere near this station.

You're a security risk.

Ashleigh tell the canteen we're letting Alison go yeah?

I had to push James to use you.

This looks bad on me too. No I know. I'm sorry.

Am I gonna get paid?

Don't push your luck.

May I...? I should explain to Gary then.

I'll talk to Gary. Max could you...?

If you could just come this way? This way.

Hi.

So did you fix my bike?

Yeah yeah.

You need your wheels for work and the crash was my fault too.

Your mum offered me a cup of tea.

Oh. Erm thank you. That's very nice.

We've been chatting.

Chatting?

About what?

You mainly.

Me?

Sorry she's just winding me up. Erm...

Shall we go outside?

'You made a big impression on my mum.'

I like her. She's cool. Seriously thank you.

I didn't know how I was gonna get my bike fixed.

It was a little bit selfish.

See I was hoping that maybe you'd have that drink with me.

Maybe. If you ask again.

HE CHUCKLES

Can I take you to London tomorrow night?

I'm meeting some friends and I thought maybe you could come along.

OK. Yeah.

Tomorrow. Tomorrow.

JAMES: Well the ACC was charmingly blunt in his assessment of our case.

We are not getting any more surveillance.

Liam Barlow. Any news on him?

He's been working as a software developer.

Yeah? He's moved around.

Previous addresses in London and Manchester.

Couple of parking tickets.

'To be honest I'm not getting much.'

People don't usually evade your levels of research skills.

'Without access to their messages we need another way in don't we?

'So keep looking.'

Have you got two phones?

HE CHUCKLES SOFTLY One's for work.

What do you do?

I am a software engineer.

Who do you work for?

I am doing some... digital security work for a local businesswoman.

But she made me sign an NDA

so I shouldn't really be talking about it.

Well that sounds more interesting than pulling a pint.

It's not believe me.

So where exactly are we meeting your friends?

They are going to a bar down by the river.

We'll drop in and see them take it from there? OK.

OK.

ANIMATED CHATTER MUSIC PLAYS

Sammy wanted to come here. Said we might run into a friend.

SPEECH FADES

CONVERSATION MUTED

Eventually I was like "Are you gonna ask me out or what?"

That's very cute. Yes.

So what does he do for work?

Oh he works for a security storage company.

They look after valuable things for very rich people.

Mm! Whereabouts is he based?

Oh they've got buildings all over.

Sammy's mostly based in Mayfair. He's quite junior.

LOW HUM OF CHATTER AND MUSIC

Very cute. Mm.

It's not a real diamond but I don't mind.

You know Sammy keeps saying he's gonna get me a real one

like he'll get a big pay rise or something.

Hey. We should get going. Oh but we just got here.

We'll go somewhere else. MAYA SCOFFS

I'm back in town tomorrow so I'll grab the car then.

Let's get a taxi. But how much is that gonna cost?

Don't worry I'm paying...

Are you hungry? Am I what?

Are you... Are you hungry? Hungry?

Yeah. Yeah I'm hungry.

I am. Come on. I know a place.

Do you know what I used to come to London a lot

when I was little with my dad.

He used to take me to the flower market.

It was different back then.

Actually it was the only time

I remember going anywhere on my own with him.

Yeah he was away a lot.

It was mostly was just me and Mum growing up.

He doesn't live with you now?

Thank you. What did you say?

Your dad he doesn't live with you now?

He went off wandering. Is... Is he deaf too?

No. My mum is deaf but my dad is hearing.

Oh. Mm.

Are things tough without him? Tough?

Yeah my mum's been made redundant

so financially it's a bit difficult.

And my dad just didn't really deal with it.

Or actually he just didn't want to.

I was let go two jobs. Two jobs.

So yeah things are a little bit tough.

So what do you wanna do? What's your dream?

Dream? Mm-hm.

Do you know what I used to be really good at gymnastics at school.

Really? I actually thought I could win a gold medal.

SHE CHUCKLES

But I need a bit more realistic dream than that.

No no no don't do that. Don't be realistic.

What... you're not realistic?

Definitely not. No way.

So what is your unrealistic plan? Mine?

You know...

This place does the best sticky toffee pudding.

Sticky toffee pudding? Mm.

OK.

Er sticky toffee pudding please.

Thanks.

You left it open.

You could lose anything in it.

Thanks.

Hey that looks nice. Mm-hm.

Could you see what I was saying when I was talking to Sammy?

Not much no.

You seemed to be asking a lot of questions.

I have to pay attention otherwise I'd never know what's going on.

So you're always watching? It's like a habit?

Well... yeah. Why?

What you got something to hide?

HE CHUCKLES

I'll have to keep my eye on you.

I had a good night.

Really good. Yeah. It was good.

I... I can see you again right?

To be honest it's complicated.

"Complicated".

With your ex?

Just complicated.

I should go.

I'll text you.

We were so clear to you about the dangers of getting involved.

Yeah but I didn't tell him I was lip-reading for you.

I didn't tell him anything. Yeah...

I've got information.

Liam met up with a guy called Sammy.

I think he works for a high-security storage company.

I didn't get his last name

but I think Liam brought me along to keep his girlfriend busy.

They talked about Mayfair.

I think erm Sammy showed something to Liam.

I think it was a floor plan.

They talked about a family vault in a basement.

Family - what family?

I don't know but Sammy's fiancee thinks he's coming into some money.

I think they're paying him for information.

What do you want?

What do I want? Yeah.

Well I want to help.

They're not suspicious of me.

They underestimate me.

Most people do.

We can't risk you being seen here while you're working at The Tap

but yes your information backs up what we know.

We're checking the description of Sammy against employees of vaults

and high-net-worth storage facilities in Mayfair.

It's allowed us to narrow down our search.

You understand how dangerous this is?

Becoming an informant. Dangerous? Yeah.

And you're already working at the bar

and you have no intention of leaving.

Correct? Correct.

I mean...

If you happen to see anything related to this case

while you are working at that bar...

..I would really appreciate it if you would let me know.

OK?

Alison for your safety we'll set up protocols

and I'll be your contact OK?

But just so we're clear I am not asking you

to put yourself in any danger to get this information.

OK? Do not go out of your way to watch these people.

Yeah yeah. No I understand.

You can end up with a lot of regrets in this job.

Alison I don't want you to be one of mine.

INTERPRETER: ..for us to foster that digital awareness.

Erm...

I can tell by some of your faces

that it's time for me to shut up so we can go for lunch.

Thanks for listening.

Ben any news on venues?

Working with Alison's information

we've narrowed it down to three high-security storage facilities

and vaults that use biometrics.

'But I can't find out more about specific security systems

'as the facilities are understandably reluctant

'to give out that information.'

Nia you were looking at the driver Antony Bates?

ANPR shows he's been checking out warehouse space.

'Warehouse space?'

OK. Maybe using this as a rehearsal space if they're looking at vaults.

'We need to get three down to one.'

Good morning. I have an appointment.

Your credentials if I may?

Passport and letter of recommendation from my bank.

Thank you Mr Standford.

I need a box. Doesn't need to be big.

Just absolutely bulletproof.

Follow me sir.

I'm told you're the best.

We have all the usual safeguards -

motion sensors weight-sensitive vaults -

and a few innovations of our own.

Glad to hear it.

Retina scanner. Still the most secure biometric safeguard.

Mark didn't say. Whoa whoa whoa. What's goin' on?

Who were you texting?

I wasn't texting.

You know her? Yeah. I...

How well do you know her?

No. I didn't do anything. Open it.

It's from earlier. There's nothing since.

You should get going.

Go.

Alison it's my responsibility to keep you safe

and if you're not gonna play by the rules this isn't gonna work.

JAMES: This meeting is significant. What are they planning?

To second chances?

This is way beyond anything we could've asked for.

This is... brilliant. Thank you.

You're in this now and I'm gonna tell you how we do things.
