Original subtitles

Sometimes I said, yeah, feeling alone.

No one to talk to. I got no telephone.

Bea Hadlett, serious fraud office.

Harry Crawford, I'm arresting you on suspicion of obtaining money by

No mistake.

That's a warrant to search the premises.

For what?

Documents in relation to the business dealings of Harry Crawford.

Financial records.

Where does he keep them?

Look.

Where's Harry?

You're within your rights if you want one.

Well, I will.

But I don't need a solicitor.

I haven't done anything.

What about a friend?

They, er... Yeah, Ken.

Ken Boone. You'll have to wait here.

Wait here?

Couldn't I? No, you couldn't.

And when you saw him yesterday at his house, he seemed all right?

Yes. But he's been away from his desk for a week.

Not a crime, is it?

Does he usually take time off without mentioning it to you?

This way, sir, please.

Dennis! This way, Mr Crawford.

What's going on?

This way, please, sir.

I saw him yesterday.

What did you talk about?

Well, um, he said he fancied a break, you know, going away for a couple of

He might go away for a lot longer than that.

Why didn't you tell me how he was thinking of disappearing?

I didn't know what he was thinking. He was just sitting in his house.

So tell me about Southridge Developments.

Oh, it's a property company.

I've invested some money in a building project.

Officers.

What about Bridehelm Investment?

Oh, that's in the Wynwood Island.

Well, maybe you should tell me that.

Look, I don't know anything about it. I'm not here trying to tell you.

So you've invested your own money in Southridge Development?

Yeah.

And so have a lot of other people.

It's not illegal, is it?

We've got reason to believe that most or all of the money invested in Southridge

Development is missing.

Well, where's it gone?

We think it's been transferred from Southridge and laundered through a

called Brighthelm Investments.

Well, you'll get it back.

If we can find the person behind Brighthelm.

Well, why aren't you looking for him?

We are.

Hi. Harry Crawford here. Just a minute.

You were answering a few questions, Dennis.

They didn't arrest you?

What are you worried about?

Fuengirola. I'm in the villa next week.

Lisa said none of us can leave the country.

I've invested a lot in Southridge.

There's Jeff Jackson, Don Feldman.

And I haven't.

I can't afford a scandal.

Built this place on my reputation.

You worry too much. You should find a hobby.

You should take up golf.

Harry Crawford.

We were in the police station answering questions. He was under arrest.

He's the one they think's taking the money.

What are we going to do?

Well, I'm going to hit... This.

And correspondence went to Kay Moody?

Karen Moody.

You know her?

You will have met her at the London office.

What, this address?

Yes, that's right.

That's wrong, Mr Crawford.

That's an empty third floor office in a mostly unlet block.

It can't be. The whole thing's a con.

Bright Home Investments is an off -the -shelf company registered offshore.

When the money's taken from Southridge and moved out of the country through

Bright Home, it becomes very difficult to trace.

Don Feldman, is a friend of yours?

It's a contractor for Southridge. Yes, it is.

And he'll probably go out of business because without the money it can't be

built.

You see, no one likes this type of crime, Mr Crawford, because it ruins

everyone.

Look, I... So is that the US?

The Far East?

The British Isles.

Your friend said you were going away.

Stratford.

Stratford?

Stratford -on -Avon.

Why Stratford -on -Avon, Harry?

It's the garden spot of the West Midlands.

I think you've got the wrong man.

You've been released?

Police bail.

I'm going to come back next week.

Of course, Denny. No, this has gone beyond solicitors, Ken.

They've made a mistake.

They've got the wrong man.

I'm going to write to my MP!

You didn't vote for him. That's not the point, Ken.

It's the principle that counts.

He's good, Derek.

He's very, very good.

Are we having money on this one?

I haven't done anything, Ken.

I know you haven't.

He's here.

Alex, I'm completely unavailable.

Harry! And I want the address of my MP.

And his name.

There were some bank statements in the safe.

Well, maybe the police took them.

Are you sure?

Well, I don't know. You'd better ask Alex.

No, no, no.

No, Alex doesn't need to know, Ken.

Harry, what is going on?

It's... Look, it's possible that I've not been entirely candid, Ken.

Well, are you going to translate that, or shall I?

I've invested some money in a building project.

What has it to do with these dinners you've been going to?

I know that money's gone missing.

That's why you've been taking time off work, isn't it?

I thought there was something wrong last week.

How much have you lost?

Well, that's private information, Ken.

Come on, mate.

It's only money. What's the problem?

I advised everybody else to invest as well.

Friends, business associates.

They've all lost their money.

I'm finished, Ken. I'm finished.

Well, they'll understand, won't they?

If they're your friends.

There he is.

There'll be wild geese in Moscow by nightfall, comrade.

But Stalin's moustache will be trimmed.

Funny, Alan, very funny.

Well, why didn't we meet at the bank?

Because I'm the bloody manager. We're not doing this at the bank.

Tell him, Alan.

There's no need to tell me.

It's Crawford, isn't it?

He's stitched us up.

You're going to have to tell Alex and Rocky what's going on.

Later. Hurry.

This doesn't just involve us, Ken.

People are being ruined.

Where are you going?

With Don Feldman. He's the builder for Southridge.

He's going to come off worse after this.

I think he deserves to know what's going on, don't you? Hurry.

Look, this is it, isn't it?

There's nothing else you should be telling me about.

Just what are you taking me for, Ken?

A hard core of a dozen invested.

Around that, a much deeper layer of more invested.

Whoever's behind Bridehelm is involved with both groups.

Now, I know it doesn't look much, but he's the only one getting anything out

it. We spoke to the bank yesterday.

God.

Crawford's bank statements.

The last six months are missing.

You still want money on this?

They're gone.

I've got troubles of my own, Harry. I don't need yours.

Where is everybody?

What do I need foremen for? To sit around and drink tea? I've laid them

What? It's collapsed, hasn't it, Harry?

South Ridge Development. It's folded.

I'm just trying to speak to our Mr Moody.

Mrs? Hey. Oh, Miss.

Anyway, it's Karen Moody.

I'm finished, Harry.

I've put everything into this.

Plant, machinery.

There's got to be a way out of it, Don. I've got a dozen lads arriving from

Stoke on Monday. Eight -week contract. Look at the bloody state of it.

Want to buy a load of scrap metal going cheap?

I'll throw in a porter cabin if you're quick.

And a nice plastic model because we won't be doing that anymore, will we?

I was arrested this morning, Don.

I know.

You know?

Of course I know.

Chapel's been putting the word around.

You do know they think you've done it.

Yes, I understand.

Thank you.

Ma 'am.

Deborah.

What's missing?

Six months bank statements.

Well, there's no use asking me.

We're not in any trouble, are we, Elliot?

Harry never tells me anything.

Well, you know the reason why. You never tell me anything either.

That's not true.

All right.

What was going on in the office?

When? Earlier.

What were you and Harry talking about?

Well, go on.

I can't tell you.

Exactly. So how should I know whether we're in trouble or not?

I'm not going down without a fight, Don. Neither am I. We'll start the Victims

Action Group.

We need organisation, a platform.

After all, it's not just us, is it, Harry?

Well, it's me they're pointing the finger at.

It's my name that's been slurred within the business community.

Well, they've lost a lot of money, Harry. We all have.

I'm still going to tell Chapel what I think of him.

Harry! A hundred grand.

What?

Chapel. He'll lose a hundred grand and fiends in for over fifty.

That's why they're so wound up, Harry.

A hundred grand?

Well, you know what they say these days.

In for a penny.

Call me old -fashioned, but I've been guided by prudence.

I've kept my involvement to modest proportions.

Perhaps that's why they think you're ripping them off, Harry.

What's this? Tea and sympathy?

You look like you need it.

Tea? Sympathy. And your coffee.

What's going on, Alex?

Everything's fine.

Come on, you can tell me.

I am doing.

Everything's fine.

You sure that's a good idea, Alex?

Where were they?

I took them home.

I can't believe you stole out of the safe.

I really can't believe it.

A sequence of regular payments made to CBS over the last three months.

So?

Payments I'd been told nothing about.

On the statement, the payee shows up at South Ridge.

This morning, Harry is arrested in connection with... South Ridge

A company none of us has heard of until this morning, when it collapses and

Harry is arrested.

What would you have done?

Why didn't you ask him?

I did, two weeks ago.

He just told me not to worry.

Why didn't you come to me?

I'm coming to you now, Ken.

He's in a mess, like everyone else.

When firms get into trouble... No, not Harry.

You realise when Deborah discovers this, she's going to be right back here.

You know that, don't you? You realise what she's done? She's going to think

Harry's trying to destroy the evidence.

I'll give you 48 hours to go to the police and admit everything.

What?

They've not been here since yesterday.

They don't know.

We know what you're doing, Harry.

I thought I knew you.

I've advised people to invest.

Customers.

You'll ruin me.

I can retire next year.

I'm giving you a chance. Call it loyalty.

48 hours to go to the police.

Or I'll tell them so.

They've been to your account today.

From South Mid Developments.

238 ,000.

Did you really think he'd get away with it?

Bob!

We all want his head on a plate.

He's lied, he's cheated, but most of all, Dennis, most of all, I...

Harry!

Come on in, my old mate.

We were just talking about you.

So, who is it who burns all the paper?

Well... I do. No, you don't. I do.

Well, I do sometimes.

It's just scrap paper, mostly.

I've got this thing about keeping the place tidy.

But I check whatever's thrown away first.

So, basically, you all do it.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yes.

Scrap paper?

Yeah.

Not much left of.

It's all right, Derek.

I've already seen copies at the bank.

Why do you think we arrested him?

I've invested everything!

You've no right to accuse me of stealing!

You're a liar and a hater!

Blood pressure.

I'm not leaving here until I get an apology. Over my dead body! That's

What?! I'm buying.

You look like you could use a drink.

It's 11 o 'clock in the morning. I know, but it's been a hell of a day.

You lied to her, Alex.

What did you expect me to do? Tell her the truth.

The truth is the only thing that's going to save Harry if he's innocent.

But you don't believe that, do you, Alex?

Where are you going?

I'm going to find Harry.

Are you coming?

I don't want anything.

Coffee.

Two coffees.

And don't look at him like that. He's with me.

Do you see that cheeky son?

Loyalty, Harry, that's the thing.

It's not money that makes the world go round.

It's loyalty.

Look, Jackson at the bank, he understands loyalty.

So does Dennis Chappell.

I don't know where that money came from.

We both know where it came from, Harry.

Southwich.

I don't mind your stealing, but don't treat me like I was Dennis.

You're being too greedy, and you've been tumbled.

Now, cut me in.

What? It's not about the money, Harry.

It's about loyalty.

If you don't help your friends, well, you won't have any friends to help, will

you?

Victim Support Action Group?

Did you want some... No, Mr Felton's not here at the minute. Harry Crawford.

Oh, you and all, eh? Sorry?

Harry Crawford. I know what I'd do.

Hanging's too good for them.

We got invited to the golf club.

Hundreds of us.

Crawford was there with his mates.

He gave the presentation, though, a unique investment opportunity.

There you have it.

Get over the road.

A thrusting young development. That's what Harry Crawford said.

Two months' time finished.

Finished? He was right about that.

But a dirt that's finished, not the thrusting young development.

Go on.

You see that?

I raise pigeons, she buys a cat.

A marriage made in heaven.

Is this from over the road?

Well, I've got to get something back. I'm extending me loft.

Well, I was. A victim support coordinator, now, whatever that means,

It'll not come to anything, man. The money's all gone.

Look, you don't mind me asking this, but... How much have we lost?

Everything. She said we should put in as much as we could.

Then I noticed there was an out happening over on the site.

So I wrote to Crawford.

You wrote to him? Aye, last week. Of course, he never wrote back.

Harry.

Do you know me, the Crawford?

You know him?

Look, he wouldn't do this.

You don't know him, then? If you wrote to him... Out!

Out!

Just when you think things can't get any worse.

Did you do this?

Me?

I don't do things like this.

I want to know who's responsible.

Oh, Carrie, times are hard. Why won't you be reasonable?

I will not be intimidated.

Not by you, not anybody else.

You understand?

I haven't done anything. I will not be intimidated.

Fine.

Stupid, but fine.

I don't deserve this.

Maybe not.

But like I said, if we don't look after our friends...

It gets nasty from here, old son.

Things can't get worse.

What's going on?

Leave her alone.

Tell Harry this is what his friends are for.

Good on you, Devin.

You're definitely doing a runner.

Okay. It was a really stupid thing to do, Harry.

When the police were convinced we were going to do a bunk.

But I didn't, did I?

That's always been your trouble, Ken.

You get too upset.

I'm not upset.

See?

That'll be the doorbell.

It's the Dew at the golf club. He's insisting on going, Ken. He phoned me.

He's going?

We were invited.

I'm sorry about the mess, Alex.

I'll have to suck that cleaner.

What's happened to you?

I should ask you the same thing.

Rocky's been worked over, Harry. Probably by the same people that did

Come on, we're going to be late.

I can't believe you're going through with this, mate.

I don't think you should go, Harry.

We're not welcome there.

Harry!

Send me this.

I've been blackballed.

By the golf club.

I'm an outcast.

South of Pariah.

Then don't let's go.

I've got to, Alex. I'm going to sort it out. We'll get him, Harry.

Just not tonight.

Thanks, Alan.

I think that was it, didn't I?

No,

not really.

How naughty, Alan.

I've come to explain.

They'll crucify you, Harry.

They're friends of mine, Doug. Reasonable people.

They'll listen if I explain.

Harry Crawford.

I see he's brought someone with him.

I've got something to say.

You've said enough, Harry.

No, no, no, this is important.

You're the one who dropped us all in it.

Look, if you'll just listen. We listened.

Look what happened.

Don't. No, no, no, I mean, we all recommended somebody, didn't we? I mean,

me.

Look, I'm not the one you want.

Look, Alan spoke to me this morning. He asked me for a share of the money.

He threatened me. He did. He said, look, look, if you just listen, I can

explain. Look, somebody, somebody has put 238 ,000.

No, let me explain.

Why don't you listen to me?

I've been made a target.

for a good night's sleep.

He hasn't slept a wink.

I don't know how much more he can take.

There can't be more than a dozen people with a deep enough involvement in

Southridge to be capable of removing its funds.

The police have been busy finding evidence against Harry.

My guess is they haven't had a good look at any of them.

They're all on the list of investors.

One of them must have set Harry up.

A dozen names, Ken.

A dozen lousy names.

Rocky. Well, you're supposed to be a private investigator.

Investigate.

I don't want to investigate.

I'm scared of what I might find.

What are we going to do, Ken?

I suppose you're right.

There's nothing we can do.

I'm sorry, mate.

It doesn't matter what you've done.

It's still Harry.

Ken?

The morning after the night before.

And what a night.

Now, look, Ken, we've no quarrel with you.

Just Harry.

He's a dead loss, Ken.

A loser.

Everyone says so.

And the way he treats you, you're wasted.

Why don't you come and see me when it's all sorted out?

See if I can't find something for you to do.

I hate people who throw food.

You've just made a...

Can't leave it! It's not worth it, mate.

You keep away from Harry.

Don't worry, Jeff.

He won't get away with it.

I'm going to the police, Alan, like I should have done yesterday.

They can sort out Harry Crawford.

I wasn't thinking of Harry, Geoffrey.

I will not be made a fool of!

Geoffrey.

What? You got one of my prawns in your collar.

There.

Is this really necessary?

You don't want any trouble.

What's going on, Harry?

Fresh evidence.

You've got 238 ,000 in your business account.

What do you do now? Skip the country?

We've traced the money back with your bank manager, Harry.

The source would seem to be Bridehelm Investments.

So where's the rest of it?

You're not fooling anybody with this little boy lost act.

We don't believe you're the hopeless inadequate you're pretending to be.

I could have done something sooner.

If I hadn't burnt those bank statements.

None of this would have happened.

I don't think so.

You all right?

Yes, I'm fine. I'm fine.

I'm going to prison over this, I reckon.

Ready?

Go.

It's the people I told to invest.

It's the victim support group.

It's me they want.

Harry. I've got to tell them it wasn't me.

They won't believe you.

Feldman. Get hold of Don Feldman. He's supposed to be in charge of that lot.

Stay here.

Rocky.

Hello, you.

Look, I didn't realise you'd be like this. Jack.

I'm going to get Don Feldman, he can sort all this out. Mr Crawford will only

speak to the person in charge.

Wrong.

Crawford!

We know you're in there.

It's no good waiting for Feldman, is it?

For Wengerona?

Him or Bayer Goff.

Chappell's got a villa there.

He says if we need him... You can tell him we won't need him. Or the others.

Just how Mr Wonderful.

Deborah.

The area car's on its way.

Put him through.

Crawford.

What can I do for you, Mr Crawford?

Well, if they're just standing there, they're not committing a crime, are

I've come about Harry.

I thought you might.

He needs your help.

It's not help he needs, it's prison.

What? I was at that dinner last night. I heard things you wouldn't believe. He's

a liar and a thief, and I've lost everything, so don't you dare involve

are involved. That's your group outside the house. I know.

I sent them.

But he's being set up.

Do I look stupid?

You can come and talk to us, man.

Come out, Crawford.

Because if I come in, I've got nothing left to lose.

Well, you see, Ken, what comes round goes round.

Playtime's over.

You can leave now, Alan, or someone gets the other barrel.

I've had enough of this.

Harry.

You've got no right to be... I

didn't know this was going to happen, Ken.

When did you first find out?

Oh, a week ago.

I got a letter.

This bloke lives across the road from the site.

Yeah, I know. I met him. Eh?

It doesn't matter.

Anyway, he wanted to know what was going on.

And I didn't know what to tell him.

So you took a week off.

Alex took the bank statements.

Yeah, I thought she did.

So you know about the payments then.

I was invited down to London by the promotions manager, Mrs Moody. Or at

that's who she said she was.

She said I was a pivotal figure in the local business community.

She offered me commission for advising other people to invest.

A sort of thank you, you know.

And every time that I got somebody else involved, they paid me a bit more.

Hmm.

Well, they paid me a lot more, actually.

Why didn't you say something?

I don't know.

The others weren't getting anything.

I felt ashamed.

Go to Devereux and tell her. Yeah, I did. She didn't believe me.

Because yesterday morning, somebody put £238 ,000 in my bank account.

Jackson gave me 48 hours to go and tell her.

Then he told it himself for some reason, I don't know.

I mean, if you was deaf, what would you think?

You'd say I was guilty, wouldn't you?

I'll carry the can for this can.

An old fool like an old fool.

I wouldn't say you're old.

I want to thank you for last night, in case I don't get another chance.

Forget it.

Listen, I've got things to do. I also want to know why the police think it's

Harry.

Do you want to know Harry's idea of a major investment?

3 ,000 quid.

He'd invested the least out of all of them. He'd the least to lose and the

to gain.

Now, if you don't mind.

Is that all?

Plus the money in his bank account.

Oh, come on, no -one's stupid enough to dump £200 ,000 in their own bank

account. Not just that, the commissions.

Look, I'm only the contractor and I don't know what you're on about, right?

They were talking at the dinner.

I thought only the police knew about those commission payments.

Someone's trying to frame him, aren't they, Don?

Yeah.

I suppose they are.

John Feldman is just a builder.

How much did he invest?

I already told you, that is private.

£3 ,000?

Aye.

You only managed a mere three grand.

Oh, just because I've invested modestly again doesn't make me any less a person.

Money isn't everything, you know.

That's not the point, is it? The point is, how did I know that, Harry?

How could I possibly know?

John Felden?

I take it you didn't tell him? No. Just like you didn't tell me.

So apart from the police, who else knows about your investment in South Ridge?

The Bridal Investments.

Oh, Chaplain Steen.

He knew exactly what they'd invested as well.

No, Ken, he's only the builder.

If he's only the builder, how come he knows all that?

No, I don't believe it.

Feldman told you he'd laid off his workforce, didn't he?

It's because he doesn't need them any more.

Southridge has gone under.

Did he tell you when he laid them off, Harry? No.

Four months ago, mate. The bloke opposite saw him.

He knew this wasn't going to be built back then.

And the only person who could know that is the person behind Bridehelm

Investments, Harry.

Feldman.

Yeah.

Do you need to get me a glass of water again, please?

There's some ass prints in the kitchen, I think.

Please.

It's got to be Feldman.

I mean, how did he get all that information?

Where are they?

This is not easy.

By the time you get this... It's Don Feldman.

Harry?

That's not good enough.

It's all you'll get.

I want an explanation from you, mister.

It had to be you.

Why? Why not Steen? Or Jackson? Or one of the others?

Because I knew you'd enjoy it.

You were good at it.

Standing up there in front of all the old ladies.

It's a unique opportunity in prime site development.

It had to be you.

Because you're so full of shit.

You'd have let me go to prison. You wouldn't have gone to prison.

The police would have traced the money back sooner or later.

That's why I'm skipping the country. I just used you to buy some time.

You used me?

I was going to build it. No!

I was going to raise the money and do the building.

Only you don't get anywhere without a share of the profits, do you, Harry?

So I set myself up as a property company.

Don Feldman, cowboy builder, became... Outreach Development.

It's amazing.

What you can do with letter -headed paper.

I rented an office in London, a P .O. Box number, and found myself someone who

didn't ask too many questions.

Oh, yes.

You met her? Yeah.

She sent Chappell and Jackson a brochure, and they jumped.

So I committed meself to buying this place.

It was a bargain.

Then I found out why I couldn't get planning permission.

I bought land I couldn't sell with money that didn't belong to me. So you took

the money and ran.

It was only a matter of time before somebody found out.

And then you turned up with £3 ,000 to invest. Well, you were too

good to miss.

So you asked me to front Southridge.

And you put money into my account. You implicate me. You could have kept the

money. It was a drop in the ocean to what I was getting.

But the police were a lot quicker than I thought.

And so were you.

I can't let you do it, Harry.

I've never survived prison.

There's no way out.

Oh, there's always a way out.

No!

You better end it.

It's all right, Kev.

I'm not going to kill him.

But he was going to kill himself if I'd let him.

There was a coward's way out, and he done.

Suicide.

Something that fits you like a glove.

You know that's where the money is.

I'm actually free to go now, am I?

Sorry? I said, I'm free to go. No, you didn't. You said, I'm actually free to

now, am I?

You lot never give in, do you?

There's hundreds of decent people lost everything over this, and you're

complaining over a few awkward questions and ten minutes in a cell.

Yes!

You're actually free to go now, Mr Crawford.

You don't win them all, then.

And the winners in reverse order

are... Yours is over there.

Is this the invite for Crawford's due?

Harry's due.

Elected to the committee, eh?

They'll let anyone in.

Not quite.

Find yourself a hobby, Alan.

It's a good game.

Oh, yes.

Can I ask you something?
