19 red.

Sorry about that.

This is a top nine.

Drinks are on me.

All right.

Isn't this a great place?

You like it? I like it. I love it. What are you drinking?

A glass of champagne would be very nice.

Oh, yeah.

That's cool.

I think I'll have one and all.

Make that a bottle.

Maisie.

Maisie. I'm not here.

I should have reminded you to switch off.

Drink? No, I'm going.

Just wanted to apologise to the organiser. What's his name?

Who? The victim support bloke, the charity chap. I don't know, Susan

it. Susan!

Jack?

Wasn't it wonderful?

It was excellent.

Maisie wanted to apologise.

It was a naughty girl, right in the middle of the adagio.

Don't you give anyone, anyone my mobile number. Is that clear?

I didn't. No?

I got a call earlier this evening at a very embarrassing moment. What were you

doing?

For someone.

Someone organising a Tupperware party.

Tupperware?

I thought she said Rubberware.

Mace.

I should think so too.

This is terrible.

You're telling me.

I've been robbed.

What? The woman who brought us home last night, she's gone.

So? She's come for her fences.

No, she's taken all my winnings.

What? Look, I won hundreds at that casino last night. I had 1 ,500 when I

home. I just went to count it now and it's gone. She's gone. In the night

sometime.

If you want to report a robbery, Kelvin, dial 999.

I can't do that.

I'm not with you here.

You're still here, can't you, mate?

You are 999.

Cracking gig last night, eh?

Yeah, there was a really good atmosphere.

Well, apart from the discordant instrument.

Where is she?

Not in yet, Mum.

Oh.

I could have crowned her.

Morning, all.

Morning. Morning, Mum.

Lovely concert.

I'd have liked it a bit more if I could have stung along a bit, you know.

Mickey?

Dear Mickey, was that boring or very boring?

Very boring.

Do you know the Zenith Casino?

I know of it.

Not had any trouble there, have we?

It's all above board, I think.

This is tricky.

What's that, Mum?

It involves my brother.

Come in.

Ah, Susan.

Why are we going backwards?

Sir?

Well, you're the expert, but that's not good, is it?

We're solving less crimes than last year.

Well, if we're talking about the clear -up rate, it's complicated, sir.

Not from where I'm sitting, it's not.

I've been very generous with funds for the crime squad. I frankly expect more

from my money.

Okay.

Right.

Check this place out.

I don't know what my brother was doing here. It's a respectable club.

Good afternoon.

I'd like to see the manager, please.

I shouldn't be doing this.

This is what big sisters are for.

Where do we get the chips?

Good afternoon.

Please, come in.

She was here on her own.

It's a private club, so she's either a hostess... No, no, we don't have women

like that in this club.

Then she must be a member.

Indeed.

Look, I really am very sorry about what happened.

Obviously, if it had happened on the premises, it would have been... We've

you a description.

We just want the name.

No, I don't think I can really do that.

Why not?

Look, we can make this official if you want.

But if you'd rather the matter was dealt with discreetly, we just want the

lady's name.

No one with all this would build £1 ,500.

Could say. Why would anyone with all this want to give my stupid brother a

home?

Well, that's the car that was outside my flat last night.

The key's in the door.

Look.

Mrs. Jevons?

Mrs. Jevons?

Mrs. Jevons?

Oh, no, please don't hurt me.

Please don't hurt me. I'm sorry.

It's all right. It's all right. We're police. It's all right.

Call an ambulance.

No, don't do that, please.

It's all right. It's nothing.

It's only a nosebleed.

Okay, okay. Put your head forward.

George, get the towel.

George! Sorry, Helen.

I know it's a bit of a pain, but...

If you could come over.

Yeah, thanks.

Where's your husband, then?

Away. Your boys?

What? Your sons?

I don't have any sons.

Sorry?

No, they're not my boys.

We should call him, shouldn't we, ma 'am? The husband.

No!

You can go now, thank you.

Put the kettle on, George.

Catherine.

The alleged theft of £1 ,500 from a young man you met at the casino is not a

small matter.

We really should invite him to come to the station with us.

No. Look, come on. I'm not going anywhere.

Tell me what happened.

I, um...

I went to the club.

The casino?

Yes.

Three nights ago, as I came out, two men were waiting for me in the car park.

They demanded money.

Why?

I don't know.

Did you report it?

No. Why not?

I was frightened.

They were horrible.

All right. OK.

Did you know these men?

And they wanted money?

They gave me until today.

My husband is away. I couldn't get any.

I saw a young man in the casino. I could see he was drunk.

I thought I could steal his money.

And you did?

They said it wasn't enough. They wanted more.

Why, Catherine?

I don't know.

They wouldn't get out of my car.

They did that?

They said they'd be in touch.

They threatened all they got.

Like what?

Like blackmail?

Look, I'm sorry, I really can't talk about this.

I really can't talk about this.

Thanks, Helen.

If you could sit with her.

She's been GBH'd.

She's reluctant to talk.

I don't know what she's hiding.

But that was the truth. Less than the truth. Anything but the truth.

She admitted to stealing the money.

Whatever it is she's up to.

It's behind her husband's back.

Does she have large debts?

We're very strict about that sort of thing.

That's not what I asked.

Sorry. What do you do when customers reach their credit limit?

Well, we don't thump them in the car park.

Does this cover the whole area?

Nope. So what's the point?

Go forward a bit.

Who's that?

I'm sorry?

It's all right, I'm talking to myself.

Let's just stop a minute.

Does he work for you?

No.

Who supplies your doorman?

A very reputable agency.

Oh, yeah.

Sorry, I know one of your doormen personally, and I have to tell you we

talking St. Peter at the gates of heaven.

I know this gentleman and all.

Thank you.

You know,

it's funny.

Here we are in one of the biggest cities on earth, and I come here, and I know

so many people. It's such a small world.

He's nothing to do with us.

Boxer. Who is it?

No, the thing on the video.

The skinhead. His name's Boxer.

I thought he was still inside.

He just happens to be in the car park at the same time the effects took place.

Good night, Ray.

Did you find out what she's playing at?

Just been talking.

She desperately wants children.

Oh, lovely.

Sorry.

Can I go now?

I'm in court in the morning.

Yeah, of course you can.

You both can.

There is just one thing.

I like to make a distinction between my work and my private life.

Unfortunately, we can't ignore what's happened here tonight, but I would

it would be great if the DCI didn't know that this case was in any way related

to... Your brother.

That's the idea.

How do we get around that one, Mum?

We can't lie, can we?

Answers on a postcard, please.

I think you just sell something, Catherine.

I'm sorry?

Why bother with other people's cash?

You could have logged in.

You think my husband wouldn't notice?

So? What if he does notice?

You could explain.

After all, you are the innocent party.

Unless, of course, you've already explained several times before.

Because maybe you are always in deep financial doo -doo.

Did the singer who beat you up have tattoos?

How did you know that?

I know all the best people.

And judging by what they wouldn't tell me at the casino, you owe them a few bob

too.

And all these things I suggest are not unconnected.

Will you just go away, please? I can't stand it. I have done nothing wrong.

You've stolen money.

Give me a week, I'll pay it back.

Don't you understand? You are not helping. I am trying to stop you having

head kicked in.

Boxer, the man who beat you up, does this for money.

Do you understand that?

He's just doing his job. Now, who is he doing it for?

Please. Leave me alone.

Your husband?

What?

I think it's time we contacted him, don't you?

Oh, don't!

Go away!

Have it your own way.

But tomorrow morning I'm going to have a little chat with my mate Boxer.

I wasn't beaten up.

I fell downstairs.

I fell downstairs at the tube.

Why do I bother?

You may not believe this, but I am trying to help you.

Hello? It's me.

Do you know what time it is?

It's 3 .30. It's very late.

It's not late, Jack.

It's early.

This is your early morning alarm call.

Sorry, Jack. Didn't realise.

Can't sleep.

Listen.

Say you've got a lad who's been robbed of 1 ,500 quid.

You've got a woman who's been beaten up by a couple of thugs, but she refuses to

tell you what's behind it.

Tell me.

Can I just write this off?

Maybe. I'll sleep.

Sorry, Jack.

I'm not having a very good night.

She was all alone, this woman.

I thought she was frightened.

I just left her.

Good morning, Mum.

Good morning.

This case here, D .I. Rayne to deal.

Is it blackmail?

Domestic? Could be both.

Has she got you working on it too?

Yes, Mum.

Everyone suddenly seems to be working on it.

This is very vague. It doesn't even say who originated the allegation.

The woman's a reluctant witness who doesn't want to press charges. What is

George?

Sorry?

Inspector. Sir?

3am.

Sorry, sir, but you didn't want to say it any time.

Yes, but 3 o 'clock in the morning.

3 .30, actually. Look, it won't happen again.

No, no, it's all right. It's just... I can't remember why you phoned.

Nothing.

These things just seem much more important of a night. What things?

Nothing.

Are you sure you're all right?

Yes, sir.

Boxer!

Not you.

The Irene has just entered the room.

Coffee?

Out with them.

This needn't take long.

After all, we know what you've done.

No, you don't. Oh, yes, we do.

But listen, that lady you stumped might not press charges.

I have not stumped anyone.

Then who did?

You were seen on camera.

Cameras don't tell you nothing.

There wasn't a camera in the car, was there, eh?

So you were in the car.

Thanks for that.

So who are you working for?

She was on my table.

Did she have a lot of money?

She didn't need it. She was betting with somebody else's.

Very good.

Whose? I don't know his name.

There are members and guests we don't see very often.

Businessmen passing through, you know.

Was she flirting with this man?

No. All right.

For the lad's sake, he flirts. He doesn't. Then what do they think?

Sometimes she's broke, right?

I mean, he's a compulsive gambler, for heaven's sake.

She chats up the men so that she can play with them, but that doesn't mean...

don't believe... What?

There is a rumour.

But I don't think it's right.

I like Catherine.

You like everyone.

She was lonely in that big house.

Ah, there you are.

It's almost like you've been avoiding me, Inspector.

You were out all yesterday afternoon. I've been looking everywhere this

I didn't know you had a brother.

A brother? Me?

What's he like? Is he like you?

No.

You've kept him very quiet.

Don't think so, have I?

Is he the reason you're pushing this case?

Absolutely not.

No -one wants to press charges, is that right?

Not at this moment.

Can you see it getting to court?

It's early days yet.

I don't think so.

We have to find a more efficient way of handling cases like this. It's

ridiculous.

We must have a word when you've got a minute.

What does your brother do?

I'm intrigued.

He's a trader.

So's David.

Futures mainly. Is he in the city?

He has been.

Great. Can't wait to meet him.

He was a meat porter at Smithfield.

Lasted a week.

Did you tell her?

Yeah, about ten. Gives a call then.

The bussing?

Yeah.

George!

I've got a bunch to pick with you.

Development's mum.

Don't get round me that easy.

Well, right, so I told her.

What's the big deal? I don't see the problem. So is your brother.

You're not ashamed of him, are you, mum?

No.

And you!

You don't speak to a senior officer like that. Do you understand?

You're getting too big for your boots, mate.

I'm sorry, Mum.

What developments?

There's a rumour.

Catherine flirts with men at the bar.

It's not a rumour.

Word amongst the staff is that she recently propositioned a businessman,

him back to his hotel, did the business, then robbed him.

I knew it.

Catherine the Innocent, my aunt Fanny.

That's what you call a good rumour.

Excuse me.

Talk to you later.

Do you value your gaming licence?

What? You do know it's an offence to waste police time.

I did want to handle this discreetly, but... You've got five minutes to tell

what you know about Catherine Jevons.

You know, you're very rude.

This is me being polite.

What you have to understand...

is that my customers expect me to protect their privacy.

That's not I don't want to help. Good.

You're obviously a highly principled gentleman.

I want the name of the businessman Catherine slept with and robbed.

What? Four minutes.

We are talking an official criminal investigation here.

Three minutes. I think your watch is running a little fast.

One minute.

There was a guest in here one night.

Made certain claims against Mrs. Jevons.

Wanted us to reimburse him.

Did you?

It's impossible to say whether he was telling the truth.

Happened outside the premises.

And it was only cash that was supposedly stolen.

How much?

£12 ,000.

Seemed like a lot to you.

Talking casino.

People win, lose.

Far greater sums than that.

Like Catherine?

How much does she lose in a night? Couldn't possibly tell you that.

What's her credit limit?

£50 ,000.

She owes you 50k.

I want the name and the address of the gentleman now.

The name's Rankin.

Never heard of him. What's he do? Where's he live? I can only give you his

hotel. Credit card details, possibly.

He isn't local?

No.

Catherine!

Good morning.

You're early.

Why the phone, my love?

I've been trying to phone you.

And your mobile was off.

Hi.

What the... It's nothing. I fell. I tripped downstairs at the

tube.

What were you doing on the tube?

I couldn't get a cab.

Are you all right?

I'm fine. Fine.

Took me up at the time. How was the golf?

Wet. Oh, dear.

Come here.

So why are the phones unplugged? All right, George, so there is a case to

answer. Then we investigate it properly.

As far as I can see, no -one so much has taken a statement yet.

Really, this job can be so frustrating. I could sort this out in no time.

Where's the DI?

She's in court this morning, yes.

Yes, of course.

All right.

I'd like everyone in the office as soon as possible. And yes, I think I'd like

witness statements from everyone involved in this case. And I mean

four o 'clock this afternoon.

That's the way to do it, isn't it, George?

George?

Oh, no.

Shall I?

No, no, no, with a shoulder. With a shoulder, OK?

After three, yeah?

OK. One, two, three.

Police.

Oh, great.

Terrific. Did you hear that?

It's the police now.

Well, you can have her.

Catherine, they're all here now.

What do you want? You want to question her, do you?

What's the charge?

Fact? Soliciting?

Extortion?

Here she is.

Okay, but can we just calm down now, please?

You want to speak to her?

We would like a word, yes.

Then she's all yours.

Just a minute. Can she swim?

She can drown, for all I care.

Oh, no.

Get away!

I'm sorry, but it was the last straw.

Get away!

That was in my post when I got home.

Sleeping with other men now.

And what if I am?

Maybe they could give me what I want.

Are you listening to me?

Yeah, I just want to confirm you've got Mr Rankin working for you at the moment.

Yeah, and what position does he hold?

Thanks.

I make it four o 'clock.

Georgie's just getting changed, Mum.

Didn't have to dress up.

Ah, Stephen. How did you get on? Got everything?

I have here my letter.

What about statements?

It wasn't really the right moment, ma 'am.

What do you mean?

Well, it was a bit of a domestic.

You went all the way down there and you didn't get a statement because it was a

bit of a domestic?

Well, I've invited her down here.

Oh, that's nice. At her own convenience.

This is exactly the problem. This is so inefficient.

What about Maisie's brother? Any statement from him?

Couldn't find him, ma 'am.

He works in the city.

He what?

George, how are we doing?

Oh, great. Her husband's returned.

Does he respect anything?

I think he gets the picture.

What do you mean?

Well, she did sleep with the Mr Rankin who complained to the casino and she did

rob him of £12 ,000.

And having failed to get it back from her or the casino, Rankin has written to

her husband asking for the money. What?

He pays up or Rankin will use whatever means he has to get the money.

Including going to the police?

Funny enough, we don't get to mention that.

Interesting.

Maybe we should talk to Mr Rankin.

What are you finding?

Well, this doesn't actually get us any further.

This gentleman wants his money back, but he's got a great length to avoid police

involvement. Captain Jevons isn't going to press charges, so where's the case?

That was Derbyshire's fraud squad on the blower.

Wanted to know why I was interested in Rankin.

Why are they interested in Rankin?

That's what I said.

Embezzlement. He's European sales director of a company up there. He's got

access to company funds and he's gambling using their money.

Which is why he's so desperate to get it back.

Save his skin.

Brilliant.

Derbyshire reckons he's in London. He never boarded his flight to Prague and

he's switched his phone off.

Well, that's a lucky break.

Absolutely.

Now we find him.

No.

No? No, we leave it to Derbyshire. We haven't got a case that'll stick and

obviously do. That's great.

Conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm? Without a single willing witness?

Leave it to them. Well done, Sergeant.

But... Oh, and can I just remind everyone about the dance marathon?

I hope you've all sold your tickets. I'm sorry it's committed soon after the

concert, but I do think these charity dues are really good for us as a team,

thanks.

Dance marathon?

Will someone please tell me what's been going on today?

Oh, the DCI thought she might be a bit more... and so on.

I do not sleep around. Don't you understand what I was trying to say to

Wait.

Can't talk.

Why do you always run away from me?

I have an appointment.

Howard.

Howard, please.

I was not trying to undermine you. I was trying to help you.

Look, the only thing that matters in the end is that we improve the clear

upgrade.

That's too easy.

Is it?

I don't think so. The boss certainly doesn't think so. We have a choice.

On the one hand, I have a woman who I think is still at risk and will remain

until this case is sorted, which takes time and effort.

Or on the other hand, I could just go down the nick and get a prisoner to

to all his other robberies. He's been sentenced, so what's he got to lose?

And bingo, the boss is happy, ten more crimes cleared up and he looks good in

the papers.

Which is exactly what you should be doing.

That's not why I joined the police force.

Well, what can I say?

Not exactly dressed for digging, are we?

I don't know how long I'll connect this, Jack.

What's that?

She wants me out.

Rubbish.

As soon as me back's turned, she takes over me case.

She blames you, but I ain't fooled.

Well, I have turned the screw.

What?

You're not happy with what I'm doing.

I didn't say that.

But we are judged by results.

Oh, not you as well, please.

I have to live in the real world, Maisie.

Not her world.

Ten old burglaries are worth one unsolved GBH.

Sounds good to me.

Oh, please.

You were the one that told me I couldn't ignore this case.

Me?

Was that the three o 'clock in the morning, me?

No, that was the real you. The old you.

I sleep, I think.

I get results.

I know you do.

Slowly, but surely.

Yes, it's the slow, that's the problem.

That's how it is.

I keep chipping away until I get there.

But ain't I allowed to do that anymore?

We used to be proud.

We used to like the difficult cases.

Right in the middle of the adage, Hill. It has to be for you.

Hello. I've rung every relative and friend she has.

Not that she has friends.

Why doesn't she have any friends?

You tell me.

I'm asking you.

Now is hardly the time.

Don't worry about the time.

Just tell me. I don't understand, see?

It's a kid business, OK?

Most women of her age have children. She doesn't.

She can't bear to be with them.

It's the one thing she wants most in the whole world, and yet she won't have

them in the house.

Can you understand that?

Yeah. Yeah, it's painful. I can understand that.

Don't you want this?

I have my boys.

Now I've had the snip.

Was Catherine happy about that?

Look, I rang you because my wife had gone missing.

I take it that's a no.

She has no money, she has no credit cards, she took no clothes with her.

She's been behaving most erratically and now I've had this letter.

She must have access to money.

Don't you have a bank account?

We have separate accounts.

I give her a very limited allowance which I can assure you will have gone.

I've stopped all her credit cards.

Why? Because she can't stop spending money.

She's not a kid. You treat her like a child.

Because she behaves like a child and worse.

She's addicted to shopping.

I've done everything in my power to try and stop her.

I'd go away, and when I come back, she'd have bought new carpets. Well, we'd

already had new carpets.

And as you can see, she's addicted to gambling.

So she ends up robbing people.

She doesn't have to rob people.

Like most addicts end up doing.

I'm sorry I've done my best.

Look what I've given her.

Yeah. Giving her everything.

Except the one thing she really wanted.

A bird in a gilded cage, Mr Jevons.

A cage is still a cage.

Where are you going?

What's the only glimmer of hope left to her?

Thank you, James.

Mrs. Jevons.

Hello, James. How are you? I'm very well.

Nice to see you.

What are you drinking?

All the usual. I'll get that.

That's very kind.

I was wondering if maybe later on you and I could have a chat.

May I play a little first?

Of course.

Thank you.

£5 ,000.

£5 ,000.

Here's your bet.

No more bets.

Sorry,

George. Here we are again.

Came by taxi.

That's interesting.

You don't remember me, do you?

Been racking my brains.

That must have been a busy couple of seconds.

Did a Mr Rankin come to see you?

Asking where he could get hold of someone to put the frightness on someone

Who? Sorry, I'm not with you. I didn't think you would be.

Got a picture, George?

Yeah.

Greville Rankin.

Yeah?

Wilson Green.

Motorbike shop burglary. You fell through the skylight.

I had the pleasure of arresting you.

Three years, weren't it?

Please, don't disturb her.

What did you do? Did you raise her credit limit? No, she has cash.

How's she doing?

Everything can change in a moment.

Oh, please.

I'll do the lottery. Don't give me that.

How much you bet, madam?

You tell me.

This is stupid. Can't you stop her?

What if a number comes up?

Don't do this.

Is that the car?

It's more than the car.

Look at me.

Go away.

I've spoken to your husband.

James, will you take this woman away?

I could arrest you.

What for?

We're dealing £12 ,000.

That was my money.

I won it. It was mine.

Not according to Mr Rankin.

Who won that money?

Ask anyone here. James, ask anyone at the table. I put the chips down. I chose

the numbers.

Everything on number 11, it was my money.

I only took what was rightfully mine.

£17 ,100.

Catherine, you could buy my flat for that.

Thank you, but what would I want with your flat?

Chip, please.

James?

Mrs. Jevons, we do have a ceiling limit, and I really do think perhaps enough is

enough.

How dare you, James?

How dare you refuse me? Give me that money. Give me my money.

Come on, get off my house.

I'm taking you.

I have the money.

Now arrest me or get out of my hair.

Black cat spinning up, I don't care. Get me out of here.

It's me!

Never heard of you.

All right, Catter, we've got him now. It's all over.

Revel Rankin, I'm arresting you for driving without due care and attention,

embezzlement, for conspiracy to commit, and you don't have to say anything.

Katherine? Come on.

You're so ashamed of me, aren't you?

No. You think I'm so weak, don't you?

That's not true.

Don't argue.

Just take her on.

Well, well, well, George.

I didn't know you had it in you.

I hope I can claim for this. It's ruined.

Forget it. It's not important.

We got him. It's my best suit.

You pay for every dance you enter, and the one that's done the most dances at

the end of the night, they win.

What if you don't dance?

It ain't all bad, McKee. It's like we don't dance.

Dance, Mum.

Mate, mate, I said you got me mummy.

I think it'd be more appropriate to give it a good call, don't you?

Uh, could do.

You could start by getting me a drink.

I do know how to walk, thank you very much.

It's all right.

That's all right.

There you are.

That's better.

Thank you.

Well, you've had a good couple of days, haven't you?

I don't want to talk about work, thank you. What? You don't want to talk about

work?

It's supposed to be a quick step. I'm going as fast as I can.

Say you had all the money in the world.

What?

Nothing.

I'd rather have one good friend.

That's the one thing money can't buy, Jack.

Good friends.

I could do this all evening.

Well, then we might win.

I like winning.

An appointment, then.

Gee. I think you should request the wedding, Mark.

Very well.
