ASHLEIGH: It's Alison.

She says the robbery's happening at the Hawthorne Estate Hotel.

LIAM: 'Back straight smile wide.'

Whatever you do do not be yourself.

BRADEN: 'Just open the door.'

She's at the hotel. Tell her to leave.

She needs to stay out of this.

'Necklace has changed hands. Two bodyguards.'

Now. DEVICE BEEPS

ALARM RINGING

Alison!

Liam...

BEN: Braden. Stop! Argh!

You know where Liam is now?

Did you not arrest him at the hotel?

EXHALES

Any news on Ben yet Nia?

I'll call again Sir. Thanks.

Yeah.

MONITOR BEEPING VENTILATOR HISSING

Braden can't be in Glasgow and Plymouth at the same time can he?

So can we just try and work out which is the more credible sighting?

Thank you.

ASHLEIGH SIGHS

You should go home. Get some sleep.

No I'm fine. I'm OK. I wanna... I really wanna be here.

How are you?

Spoke to the bodyguard's family. You know.

It's not your fault. You did everything that you could.

Any leads on the phones?

No we've had erm hundreds of calls since the appeal

but it's just wishful thinking.

And the Joshi team have been on the phone asking for updates.

Again. You?

I spoke to Interpol Europol. Nothing.

Should've listened to you about Alison shouldn't I?

She was over-involved.

What's Antony saying? Anything yet?

No Antony is saying no comment all through the night.

It's really fun. Helen has coached him well.

Yeah. Sure she has.

She'd have paid him off to keep quiet do his time.

Just got off the phone with Sara. She's at the hospital.

Ben's out of surgery.

He's not conscious yet and we won't know anything for a few hours.

Oh my God.

SOFTLY: OK.

OK everyone.

Er...

DC Lawford put himself on the line for the job yesterday.

Put the safety of others ahead of himself.

Let's make sure that wasn't for nothing.

Let's put all our efforts into finding Braden and Liam.

We're not gonna let them walk away this time.

Oh God Alison's mum is still here. She's wants to see her.

Sure.

ALISON SOBS GENTLY

Hello.

This is Julie my mum.

Hi Julie. I'm James. Hi.

Ashleigh. Hi.

Ashleigh is gonna help find you somewhere safe to stay

while we find Braden.

Does that mean we're not going home? No. No.

Not yet. Not yet OK?

But I can send someone to collect anything you need if that helps?

Can I.... Can I have a quick word with Alison?

Got a favour to ask. Is there any news on Ben?

Yeah. Yes yeah. Ben... Ben's out of surgery.

He's still unconscious but he's stable.

OK I can't give you your phone back

but we were wondering...

if you might be able to send Liam a message.

OK it's not like he's gonna reply but if he checks his messages

that might help us to locate where he is.

Is that OK?

And what should I say?

Just keep it simple.

Just ask him to let you know he's OK. Yeah.

OK.

That?

Great. Yeah that's great.

Thanks Alison. Thank you. Thank you.

The... The information I gave you

is it enough to arrest Helen and Joseph?

We're bringing Helen and Joseph in for questioning.

One step at a time.

Oh so you're interviewing them? Yeah.

Can I be with Mum? Yeah.

KNOCK ON DOOR

RAPID KNOCKING

Braden? Yeah.

Braden what are you doing here? You're all over the news.

Look Danny would want you to help me.

If the police come here I'm telling 'em you threatened me.

HE SIGHS What a mess.

Yeah.

It was the kid. HE EXHALES

Liam Barlow. Liam?

Mm. What'd he do?

He convinced me we were gonna stitch up the police

but it was me that got played.

EXHALES SHARPLY Your Danny recommended him.

Well someone informed on Danny for that ransomware gig.

And you think it was Liam?

It opened up a vacancy innit?

For some slippery little Mancunian fucker to step into.

You sure no-one followed you?

ASHLEIGH: So Oliver's gonna stay with you.

There's stuff in the kitchen

but if there's anything you need just let him know.

Yeah.

OK.

No thank you. No I'm fine. Thank you.

Alison? I should get back.

I'll check the back doors. OK.

You should get some rest. You must be completely exhausted.

Have you spoken to Mark?

Because Helen and Joseph came to the pub

so he might know something.

We are speaking to him but just...

I know that it's hard but you do need to let us do our jobs OK?

Can.... Can I go and see Ben?

I don't think that's a good idea. He's only just got out of surgery.

It's just... I need to do something.

Please.

Sara?

How are you doing?

You brought her?

We're just here to drop off some flowers that's all.

Sara I'm... I'm sorry.

Do you honestly think that you can just...

show up with flowers and everything'll be OK?

You shouldn't be here. It's... It's already way too complicated.

I... I was trying to help. I was...

I was trying to stop the robbery.

You slept with one of the suspects!

Was that... Was that part of your plan?

OK.

We should go. Come on.

If you had just done what you were told...

..and waited outside Ben would've...

He'd have waited for armed response.

He wouldn't be in there.

I know.

Any more activity let us know.

Sir. Yeah?

Liam's phone was switched on. It pinged a tower in Budapest.

In Budapest?

You don't buy it?

HE SCOFFS

Why is someone as tech savvy as Liam

letting us track where he is?

KEYBOARD CLACKING

COMPUTER CHIRPS BEEPS

Ready? Let's do it.

DEVICE BEEPS

Interview commences at 11:17am.

My client would like to make a statement.

Right well we've got some questions we wanna ask you Helen.

I've advised my client not to answer any questions at this stage.

I want to start by saying that I'm shocked

by what happened at the hotel.

My heart goes out to the family of the bodyguard who died

and to the police officer who was injured.

Braden Moore is an associate of my estranged husband.

He got in contact with me wanting to get involved

in some property deals that I'm planning.

I made it clear that I did not want to associate with him.

JOSEPH: 'I've known Helen Redman for years.'

We reconnected recently when she expressed an interest

in investing in one of my property developments.

And I introduced her to another business associate

Chandra Bakshi.

Why are... Why are you protecting her Joseph?

I was introduced to Braden Moore at the ice rink.

If I'd had any knowledge of what he was planning

of course I would've reported it to my employer and to the police.

If Braden somehow got the idea to take the necklace

when he met Miss Bakshi it was wholly without my knowledge.

PAPER RUSTLES

That's all I've got to say.

Should we wrap up there?

Unless you have evidence to charge?

Not yet. But er...

You spoken to Liam's girlfriend Alison?

Why do you ask?

Lovely girl. Thought she might know something.

But then of course juries might not rate her as a witness...

on account of her being deaf.

So easy for her to misunderstand.

And you know what barristers can be like.

Ruthless.

DOOR OPENS CLOSES

All our evidence for conspiracy

is on a hit for the vault not the hotel.

They've covered every angle.

They've got all their stories lined up.

PHONE BUZZES Better to let them run for now.

Gives us time to build a stronger case no?

Yes?

Is that confirmed?

OK. Thanks.

We just had a confirmed sighting of Braden.

He is still in Kent.

He's somewhere near Faversham apparently.

He could be at Danny Heath's place. Danny Heath's.

Let's get an armed unit down there and let's get you down there too.

Erm...

ALISON SIGHS

Yeah.

That's the records you asked for.

Fostering records from Manchester. Right.

Not many match the criteria you gave me.

I think this is him. Thanks Nia.

INHALES SHARPLY

ASHLEIGH: 'He's not here.'

The team have been through the whole house.

But Molly does admit that Braden was here.

Any idea which way he was headed?

'No. She claims to have no idea.

'Says that he threatened to kill her.'

Said that she was too shaken up to call it in after he left.

'OK. Bring her in.'

I'll be back soon OK?

Let's go.

We've had to release Helen and Joseph.

You can't charge them?

They're blaming it all on Liam and Braden

saying they planned it alone.

Mm. But what about the evidence that I have given to you?

The information you gave us was very helpful

but it wouldn't stand up in court.

Lawyers would just exploit how you came to be on the case...

..and of course your relationship with Liam.

Which would undermine all your evidence.

So everything that I did and all the risks that I took

what they're all for nothing?

What did Mark say?

I bet he knows something. Mark's not said anything.

Frankly I think he's a bit scared.

Did Liam ever talk to you about his time in foster care?

In foster care? Yeah. What did he say?

There was just one family that he really liked.

Go on. But the man died a couple of years ago.

Right. That's what he said?

Yeah. Why do want...?

We've been trying to find out who that man is.

We know that Liam came from Manchester

and he came from foster care.

Yeah.

But we can find no trace of Liam Barlow before five years ago.

We did however find a Liam Gray.

Fostered by a family in Manchester.

He's the right age matches Liam's description.

So he changed his name?

Alison did Liam ever show you a picture of this man?

His name's Charlie Fletcher.

That's the man that Alfie killed. Uh-huh.

That is Liam's ring.

He said that he actually got that ring from his foster dad.

Charlie was Liam's foster father.

And none of this is a coincidence.

Are you saying that Liam took the necklace

for revenge for Charlie?

CAR BEEPS UNLOCKS

DOOR CLOSES SHE SIGHS

OLIVER: You hungry again? This was dropped off for you.

No I didn't order that. You didn't order this?

Actually yeah I did. Sorry I forgot.

I ordered that for Mum. I'll take it.

OK. Thank you.

INHALES SHARPLY

BREATHES SHAKILY

Alison. How did you find me?

I put a tracker on that cop's car DS Francis.

You lied to me.

You told me that no-one was gonna get hurt.

That wasn't supposed to happen. Braden promised me.

And you believed Braden?

HE SIGHS I know.

Did you use my hearing aids to spy on me

and listen in to my conversations?

I'm sorry.

Do you not know how fucked up that is? How invasive?

My hearing aid is like a part of me. I thought you understood that.

Alison you slept with me so that you could inform on me.

That's fucked up.

No I slept with you because I liked you.

No. No no no no. You betrayed me!

Did you engineer our first meeting? No!

The crash on your bike?

That was an accident. I didn't know you!

But you got to know me and you didn't stop informing.

HE SIGHS

It made you feel important.

Yeah.

I was because somebody was listening to me

for the first time ever!

I know Charlie was your foster dad.

Is that why you took the necklace?

Money's the only thing that Helen and Braden care about.

That was the only way to hurt them.

You really care about Charlie?

HE SNIFFS Yeah.

And I care about you. That's why I came back.

Come away with me. We can still do it.

I've got a buyer for the necklace in Panama.

He's gonna pay $5 million in cash.

No! What kind of life have you got here?

You're about to be kicked out of your house

and I meant everything that I said about bringing your mum.

You could go to the police

and you could testify against Helen and Joseph.

We've still got a chance to make things right.

No.

No.

I'll go to prison for a very long time.

And I've got a plan.

A private plane will take us to Belgium

and then we'll catch a plane to Brazil.

And no-one will find us there.

I like you. I really do.

But I don't...

I'm not really sure if I know who you are.

You know me.

When we were in my flat at the hotel...

..that was real.

It could've been real.

But you completely fucked it up.

No. We both did stuff wrong.

And I am sorry. I am so sorry.

But we're on the same side.

We both wanted the same thing - to stop Helen and Braden.

No. If you wanted to stop them you'd go to the police.

HE SIGHS

SOFTLY: I can't.

And by the time you call them I'll be gone.

I can't go with you.

I can't go with you.

And if you're going then...

..then maybe we should say goodbye.

So that's it?

We just walk away? No.

Good luck. No.

HE SIGHS

DOORBELL RINGS

Hi Dawn.

James.

Can I come in?

Yeah.

I've got a little boy arriving tomorrow.

Five years old.

Mum's in rehab Dad's never been around.

Liam Barlow. Sound familiar to you?

Er no. I was...

It's just he was one of your foster kids.

I think he was with you in 2012.

Changed his name since then I think. Nothing?

I've got a... a picture of him.

HE CHUCKLES That's him.

Have a look at that.

Honestly don't recognise him. No nothing?

There were so many kids over the years.

And I was working back then so Charlie did most of the foster care.

HE SIGHS

We're friends aren't we Dawn?

Yeah. Of course.

I mean I could get a warrant to search the place if you like.

Or you can just tell me what you know.

Clock's ticking.

Liam was Charlie's favourite.

The only one he stayed in touch with right up until he died.

But he's a good lad James.

Is he? Oh is he? He's a good kid is he? Right yeah.

Why don't you tell that to my colleague

who's just spent four hours in surgery

having a bullet removed from his spleen?

Liam didn't pull the trigger.

Oh did he not?

Oh so that makes everything OK does it?

You think the same about Braden not pulling the trigger on Charlie?

Does that make him blame-free as well? I mean...

Or is this some kind of rough-justice thing

against Braden and Helen?

I didn't know what he was planning.

I would've stopped him. Of course I would!

I don't know where he is.

Dawn...

DAWN EXHALES

JAMES SIGHS

ASHLEIGH: 'You got anything?' Liam's definitely been here.

I'll fill you in on the details later

but Dawn's not giving him up. 'OK.'

We've just had a report of a carjacking just outside Ashford.

Description matches Braden.

We tracing that car?

'It pinged the ANPR just outside Canterbury. Nothing since then.'

I think he's probably staying off main roads.

TYRES SCREECH

Everything OK?

JULIE: Gone.

Gone. Gone.

MARK: 'You really shouldn't be here Alison.'

I know but have you spoken to the police?

Yeah. I don't think I was much help.

I have been working with them.

I came here because you're the only one who can help now.

The detectives think I don't have enough evidence

and I need someone else to stand up to them.

They would protect you. No I'm sorry Alison.

You don't cross people like Braden.

I really am sorry Alison.

The police will find you.

They will be looking for you right now.

Ah. HE CHUCKLES

I knew there was something about you.

You're always watching.

How long you been ratting?

Since the very start.

Well...

Well...

You don't feel so clever now do you?

How could you be so stupid?

Alfie's gonna be out in a few years.

That's not justice.

I did this for Charlie...

for you.

I never meant for you to do this.

I wanted to take something from them

the way they took Charlie from us.

Braden contacted me. He's got Alison.

I'm gonna get her back.

Helen's gonna meet me... take me to Alison.

I just got to give them the necklace.

Then what?

Then when... once Alison's safe I'll get on the plane.

I'll manage somehow.

I just wanted to see you.

Say goodbye.

So you'll spend your life on the run?

I don't have a choice.

You could still do the right thing. Go to the police!

No.

No. Just promise me you won't call them.

Braden'll kill her.

He's got nothing to lose now. He'll do it.

How do you know he won't kill you?

Come here.

SHE SOBS GENTLY

OK everyone I want us to circulate

descriptions of Liam and Alison to bus stations train stations.

Let's go ports airports. Let's check private airfields too.

They're likely to be more noticeable as a couple than they are alone.

OK? Let's get on it.

Where's Liam? Where could he be?

Liam. Can't say it's good to see you.

I'm alone like you said.

Where's Alison?

Have you got the necklace?

I wanna see her first.

We'll go in my car.

Inside.

Braden?

Braden!

GUN CLICKS Whoa.

No sudden moves OK?

He come on his own? He did.

And he's got the necklace.

Ah. Where's Alison?

I need to know that she's safe.

HE CHUCKLES See I...

I always knew you were soft.

Here's your little police snitch.

Get up! ALISON WHIMPERS

Whoa whoa.

Liam. Don't trust him.

Shut up!

He's not gonna let us go. ALISON CRIES

Danny Heath. Can we just get on with this?

I tracked Danny down.

Got him to let me in on the ransomware gig.

And I got him sent to prison for it.

All so I could meet Helen Redman and Braden Moore

cos you killed Charlie.

That's what this is about?

You fucked up my gig for Charlie Fletcher?

He might be nothing to you... but he meant a lot to me.

Hey hey hey hey.

Easy. I'm getting the necklace.

Let me see it.

I'm gonna need you to put that gun down first.

No chance Manc.

Now get out.

ALISON YELPS On your knees.

But you've got the necklace.

Why not let him go? Not your concern.

On... your... knees.

No no no no no!

No no please no... Do what he says.

Please don't do this please! Do what he says.

Just go. But you got what you wanted.

Get out! Alison do what he says.

You got what you wanted. Please don't hurt him.

Get out! Alison!

Please go!

Stop resisting! Stay where you are!

BRADEN GRUNTING PANTING

Braden Moore...

I'm arresting you for murder

armed robbery and attempted murder.

You don't have to say anything but it may harm your defence

if you do not mention when questioned

anything which you may later rely on in court.

OFFICERS CHATTER

Got the suspect secured. Get him in the car.

You OK?

We got Helen's admission on tape which is...

Thanks for getting in contact. You did the right thing.

He was a good man was Charlie wasn't he?

LIAM CLEARS THROAT CHUCKLES

Is that why you did it? Was it all for him?

It was.

I'd believe you if you hadn't run off with a £5 million necklace.

Look Alison was just wondering if she could have a word with him.

Yeah she can have a minute. Yeah.

Thank you.

Are you OK?

Yeah.

You gave yourself up for me.

It was worth it.

Mm.

Just so you know I was really tempted by your offer.

Next time eh?

I'm so sorry.

Just...

I actually like working hard.

And all I ever wanted is for people to give me a chance

the same chance as anyone else.

All right it's time to go.

Case of Liam Barlow.

Are you Liam Barlow? Yes.

Liam Barlow you are charged with conspiracy to rob

in that on or before 17th September of this year

together with Helen Redman Braden Moore Antony Bates

Chandra Bakshi and persons unknown

you conspired to rob Amir Joshi and others.

How do you plead?

Guilty or not guilty?

Guilty.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Hello. James.

Sorry the... the door was open.

Oh. Yeah.

Moving out? Yeah. We're moving into a new flat.

New start. Well I hope...

I hope you don't mind me coming round.

I just wanted to give you some news. We've arrested Joseph Holhurst.

Not connected to the robbery we couldn't do that.

But we had a good look through his accounts

and we managed to charge him with money laundering.

So Hollis and Byrne have suspended him.

So it's not gonna make any difference

to us getting kicked out of here?

We also got news back from the review board.

I didn't wanna say too much until we knew the outcome

but you know payments to informants are based on results.

And thanks to you we made some pretty big arrests.

And it was your information that led to the recovery of the necklace.

So erm...

PAPER RUSTLING

£50000?

Is this for me?

It is.

Thank you.

Well don't thank me. It was your hard work.

It's gonna really help.

Well if you have anything left over...

..you might wanna think about this.

Erm...

With your skills...

..I'm sure you'll be in demand.
