NEWS REPORTER: Robbers have carried
out an armed raid on the Brink's-Mat

security storage depot.

Did you know the
gold was Brink's-Mat?

Of course not.

If we issue a
warrant for Cooper,

Cooper will know about
it before the ink's dry.

Boyce has issued arrest warrants
for yourself and Gordon Parry.

There's always been two systems
and ours is the stronger.

You need to go back
to where you're from.

The police are outside.

Kenneth Noye, I'm arresting you for
conspiracy to handle stolen goods.

You've found no gold,
you've found no money.

Conspiracy is the hardest
charge in the book.

I'll give it a go.

It's time to do
something about Boyce.

Better late than never.

COMMENTATOR: And it looks like the
shock of the round here at The Den,

where second division Millwall
lead Arsenal 1-0 in the third round

of the FA Cup, with
seconds remaining.

Arsenal launch it
forward in desperation

but it all looks too late.

Blow the bloody whistle.
..famous night in South London.

The ball carries over
the Millwall defence.

Smith slips in behind,

he's coming through
on goal for Arsenal.

Oh! Oh, that's a lovely
tackle by McKinnon.

And the referee's given
a penalty to Arsenal.

Well, that looked very soft to
me... Oh, here we fucking go!

The Millwall players
protest furiously.

But the referee waves them
away. Oh, I bet he does.

Smith puts the ball on the spot.

A short run up.

And he scores!

If you want to
know about England,

that's England right there.

Arsenal, the establishment club,

Millwall, my lot, coming
up from South London

to put 'em out the cup.

But they can't have that,

because what would that say
about the establishment?

What does that
say about England?

So a little wink,
a funny handshake

and the referee puts
us back in our box.

That's England.

HE SIGHS

And that's why I'm here...

..and that's why I
am never going back.

Que?

More your arse, Palmer.

Are you ready, Mr Cooper?

DOOR SLAMS

There he is. Goldfinger.

Where's the gold, Palmer?

SIRENS

TENSE MUSIC PLAYS

Oh, I'm so sorry
about that, Mr Cooper,

I couldn't find the keys.

Bit much.

You're a flight risk.

A lot of blokes fly out
the Scrubs, do they?

Oh, it'll help you in here.

Makes you look important.

Which will offer
some protection.

You can stick me in
chains, Mr Boyce,

but I still won't
have nothing to say.

We know you smelted the gold.

You found some,
then? At my house?

You sold it back into the system

and ran the proceeds
through your business.

We have the paperwork.

When I was at
school - and, um...

..I weren't there long -

I could never make the
letters make sense,

and they hit me for it.

But the more they hit me,

the less sense the letters made.

So I'm wondering if
there's a piece of paper,

just one piece of paper,

with my name on it where
the letters make sense.

The jury will decide if
it's feasible you disposed

of £13 million worth of gold
without asking where it came from.

I'd like to thank you, Mr Boyce,

for the kindness that you
showed my wife at the airport.

Because the more I hear about what
they're saying in the newspapers,

the more I realise how
big this thing was,

and all the places
that it reached.

And the more luck I
think you'll need.

I appreciate the accommodation.

I require you to remain alive.

Police custody north of
the river gives you a shot.

And therein lies the problem.

If I cooperate, I risk my life.

In return, you're
offering me my own toilet.

I know you think that there are
higher powers waiting to assist you,

and if this had been tax
or fraud or embezzlement,

an establishment crime,

then I'm sure the
establishment could help you.

But you've entered a world that
doesn't respect the establishment.

A world where handshakes offer
little protection against bullets.

They know you're here,

they know where you sleep.

It's a matter of time.

What do you require?

You'll be brought here every day
and tell us everything you know.

Then, maybe, I can offer
more than a toilet.

Sir, you are to report
to the yard, immediately.

Higher powers.

Complaints have been lodged
against you by Noye's lawyer.

Perverting the
course of justice.

Oh.

That's what I would've
done if I was there.

It's serious, Boyce. The
allegations must be investigated.

Of course. And if they can spin
it out until I'm on the stand,

then they can ask me in front of
the jury if I'm under investigation.

I'm leading the investigation
and I'll be as quick as I can.

Make it thorough, please, ma'am.

You're not surprised?

I'm going up against more
than the robbers, sir.

I'm going up against systems.

That of South London and
that of... elsewhere.

Those systems are powerful
and they are dangerous.

And in both cases there
are those who want to show

that those systems
remain intact.

This is only the start.

Always thought you
were bent, sir.

It's an attempt to distract.

Don't let it work.

Give the investigation
anything they ask for.

We need it out of the way
before the guvnor takes

the stand in the Noye trial.
Of course, there'd be no harm

in sending a bit of pressure
in the other direction.

Charge Noye's missus with
handling stolen goods.

It won't stick, but
puts pressure on him.

Freeze his assets. I'll speak
to the Brink's-Mat insurers,

have them apply for an order.

The found some nicked
porcelain in his house.

Charge him with that,
too. Embarrass him.

They're out of control, these
three. Like a pack of wolves, sir.

Every word Cooper
says comes only to me.

There are lots of people
out there who want to know

what he's saying, and some
of them wear uniforms.

Where are they, Ken? Those
men with the funny handshakes?

The ones you bought all the
drinks for. Where are they now?

Things are happening.

And in the meantime,
I get charged.

I mean, I'd have done the
same thing if I was them.

Geez.

They'll drop your charges.

They're just trying
to send me a message.

That's not the only
one they're sending.

Our bank accounts are being
frozen by court order.

Yeah, well, there's other money.
And apparently our China's nicked.

Cheap birthday that was, then.

HE SNIGGERS

Look, love, this thing I'm in...

..it's a war.

And in a war,

everyone has their part to play.

£13 million was sent through
British banks to our Swiss account

and into front companies...

..of which there are about 30.

I'd bounce the money between them
a bit before buying up properties.

We'd spruce them up
and sell them on,

send the proceeds
to other fronts,

to our account in
Liechtenstein...

..in which there is
about £28 million...

..or thereabouts,
awaiting its next move.

That's a million quid more
than the gold was worth.

And it'll be worth
more tomorrow.

The Brink's-Mat gold is the
seed money for what could be

the greatest criminal fortune
in history, if you're not quick.

What's the name of the
account in Liechtenstein?

I don't, uh... I don't want to
be the one to tell you that.

I thought you said
we had to be quick.

It's proper out there,
innit? Professional?

Cos up there you don't
see what that money did.

You don't see the blood.

I just handled the money.

You only had money to handle
because our mate's dead.

My associate named the account.

He called it Moyet.

Like the champagne?

Yes.

That's what he was aiming for.

John Edward Palmer,

you are charged with entering into a
conspiracy to handle stolen bullion

and to evade the payment of VAT to
Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.

How do you plead?

Uh, not guilty, Your Honour.

PHONE RINGS

Task Force.

Yeah. Sir, Jim Clark
on the phone for you.

Stay on the phone, take notes,
sign and file them today.

Who is he? Cooper's solicitor.

Boyce.

Mr Boyce, may I buy your drink
at the Carlton Club this evening?

No, thanks.

Listen, Boyce, I know that Mr
Cooper's refusing to cooperate,

but he suggested I meet you
in a less formal setting to...

..well, to thrash things out.

No, thanks.

Oh, come, now, Boyce,

I read the newspapers.
You need a result.

I can give you one.

I see.

Now I would ask
that you come alone.

It's a little public.

By design, Mr Boyce.

I wouldn't want you to consider
formalising our discussion.

Well, bring your wife if you're
worried about perception.

A convivial social event.

You're out for dinner. We bump
into each other at the bar.

You kindly ask me to
join you for an aperitif.

OK.

But she's not my wife
and I'd appreciate it

if my wife was not a topic
for discussion, if you follow.

Well, now.

Maybe your reputation's
all wrong, Mr Boyce.

Maybe.

Any plans this
evening, Jennings?

Nope.

Piss off. I might have plans.

Do you? Well, no, but
that's not the point.

Meet me at the
Carlton Club at seven.

You're taking me
for dinner, sir?

Yes.

That felt unnecessary.

Well, I just wanted to
reassure you, John -

you might be out of sight,
but you ain't out of mind.

That's kind of you.

She said your missus
looked pretty.

Pretty fucking angry,
from where I was sitting.

What, ain't she visiting?

No. No, I won't let her.

Because I'm not staying.

Oh, no?

Nope. They got nothing on me.

And I'm not scared enough
to help them change that.

Glad to hear it.

You get off early
doors and by the time

they get round to me, the wheels
might have come off the whole thing.

How you looking?

Nah, they got nothing.

And I reckon they'll
end up with even less.

What does that mean?

I don't know nothing, John.

All I heard is it's
going to be a busy night.

Evening, sir.

Good evening, Jennings. You
will pick up what is happening

while it's happening, which will
make you a believable presence.

It will appear that
I'm drinking alcohol.

I won't be. You won't be either.

This is the only way I could
get another officer in with me,

and you should assume that you will
be testifying about this evening.

Sounds like a fun night, sir.

Brian.

You should call me Brian.

That's the one bit I'll
struggle with, sir.

And rightly so.

How was your fish, dear?

Lovely, thanks. I do like
it when he takes me uptown.

I'd imagine in a dress like that
he'd take you anywhere you want.

So...

Yes.

Our mutual friend - I'm sorry
he's not been able to assist you.

His loyalties lie elsewhere.

Perhaps, uh, you could, uh,
outline what you have on him.

That would help me persuade
him to be more helpful.

That's not information
I could share with you.

I could share it quietly
with a colleague at the yard.

If you had someone in mind who
would be suitably discreet.

Of course, he'd
want to be bailed.

Well, he's not concerned
about his safety?

Safety?

He's a lawyer, for
Christ's sake. A civilian.

There would, of course, be a lot
of, uh, gratitude towards you,

Mr Boyce, if you could assist
myself and my associates.

It's DCI Boyce.

You're not here on
behalf of Edwyn Cooper.

You're here on behalf of the
system, on behalf of this.

I wonder what you and your
associates would be willing

to sacrifice to keep
that system in place.

Or who.

Everything I have said
is within legal remit.

Do you think I can't
be careful? Hmm?

Do you think I'm fooled by this?

Some little tart
from secretarial.

Good luck writing this up, love.

I'm a detective and
I'm glad I met you.

Always known the type of
people I wanted to nick.

Just never had a name until now.

I'll see you again
one day, Mr Clark.

At least my lot are honest.

You know where you are
with a brown envelope.

The higher you go,
the better they hide.

But they're villains all
the same and they're scared.

There ain't many things more
dangerous than a scared villain.

Have they approached
your father?

No. They will.

The day my old man affects
the way I do the job,

you'll be the
first to know, sir.

Thanks for your help, Jennings.

The thing is, sir, that was them
trying to stop Cooper talking to us.

Yes.

Yeah. And it didn't work.

I can't think of many more ways
they can stop him from talking.

Sir.

What the hell are you doing?

We're watching the game, sir.

He's a prisoner, Constable. And more
to the point, where is everyone?

Oh, we had reports of a mass
disturbance on the Alexandra Estate.

Reports from who?

Locals. Loads of them.

They all called up at once.

Lock that door and
get a jacket on.

Yes, sir.

One of them. Yeah.

Who's coming, sir?

In the army, sentry duty
was my biggest fear.

Standing alone, exposed, while the
enemy came and went in the dark.

Then I realised the power of it.

It's not about the sentry,

it's what he represents -

protection, defence,

order amidst anarchy.

Don't look.

Let them come and
go in the darkness

and we will hunt
them in the light.

WHISTLES TUNE

How much did Carter offer you?

50,000 to go easy
on Cooper and Parry.

What would you do with 50,000?

Panic.

Did you drink it?

The beer he bought you.

Well, it would've been
a terrible waste, sir.

How much was it?

Ah, 80p?

Oh, f...

Only you could be offered
50 grand and end up down.

Yep.

There are many ways
that these things end,

but they always start
with taking a drink.

Now, you didn't take a drink.

I'll put this in the
Widows and Orphans fund.

All right, yeah. Happy to help.

They're getting desperate, sir.

We're attempting to
send down Palmer, Noye

and half of South London.

They'll do everything they can.

Hello?

Uh, uh, I'm a friend
of Mr Cooper's.

He's not here.

I, I know he's not.

I know where he is.

Do you want money?

No, Sienna, no.

No, thanks, no.

No.

No, money's not the problem.

No, talking about
money, that's a problem.

Well, talking in
general, to be fair.

Could you tell Mr Cooper
that my friends and I,

we really appreciate
his loyalty.

Oh, please tell him that I've
really enjoyed meeting you also.

Oh, it's hot.

I'm not scared of you.

No, why would you be?

It's empty.

The Liechtenstein account. It
was cleared out two days ago.

Well, there isn't much
I can do about that.

Wasn't my money. I'd
finished my work.

It was no longer in my control.

How long do you think
it'll take, Tone?

If we go and tell the guvnor that
he's given us an empty bank account?

How long till he's
in the Scrubs?

Oh, his feet wouldn't
touch the ground, Nick.

I'm giving you more than that.

I've marked the properties
they haven't sold yet.

If you're quick, you
can recover the money.

This is Docklands.
This was you lot.

You'll be surprised where
that money's left its mark.

Jennings, you got a
call. It's your old man.

Can you give me the
deeds for these?

I can tell you
where to find them.

You bought the wing of a school.

It's a long story.

Yeah, all right. See you then.

I said not to come.

I could've stayed at home
and been worried sick

or I could come here
and be terrified.

Not much of a
choice, is it, John?

You've seen the papers.

They come to the house.

They asked to take a photo
of me looking sad in a skirt.

They call me Goldfinger.

They come to the house.

It would help.

The photo.

It's my whole defence.
Family man. Honest man.

Tricked into this.

You like it, don't you?

Being famous, being Goldfinger.

Of course I don't.

I had it sent in.

Didn't feel right without one.

Fancier than the old one.

Yeah, well, it's got to go
with the reputation, I suppose.

What do you think?

I preferred how things
were before, John.

I'm innocent.

I believe you.

And believing you is
all I've got left.

I'm sorry.

I won't be bullied
by men like that.

Please tell me you
won't be either.

You asked me once
where I'm from.

I'm from London...

..old London. Not what
it's become. Not what...

Not what people like
me have made it.

I know those people.

I remember those people.

If I don't do what they want...

..I know how this ends.

So I'll seek a different
ending for both of us.

You'll get longer.

But you'll be safe.

And I'll have a
chance of coming out.

I won't be here when you do.

I want you to know that.

Let's at least end
this with honesty.

I got closest to you
than I ever have...

..to something
approaching happiness.

SHE SNIFFLES

I don't think happiness is
where you belong, Edwyn.

No.

I don't think it is.

Oh, one of their boys just
got out of the Scrubs.

Don't think I haven't seen
you cutting down on my fags.

It's barely a packet a day.

Is that why you shifted
me from this morning?

Cos you knew if I come now,
it'd be busy out there? Safe.

I've had visitors.

They asked... asked me
to give you a message.

Don't say another
w... I said no.

I said I'm Billy Jennings, and I
used to be someone around here.

I told them they could do
what they wanted to me,

and it'd be a blessing. But
if they used your name again,

I'd come for each and every one of
them in turn in the fucking night.

I could nick the lot of them.

No, you can't!

HE WHEEZES

Shit.

You can't come here no more.

I can't take it.

other grown-ups that
would keep me safe.

Now I could sleep.

I do this job so that
kids like me feel safe.

And I do this job so I can come
and see my dad whenever I want.

I'm proud of you.

Your mom would be proud of you.

And you don't need to show me
what you've got inside of you

because I've seen it,

since the day you were born.

I'm just asking a
favour, as an old man...

..not to have that fear
to go with all the others.

Not to have that regret
to go with all the others.

I'll see you in the other place.

I just thought...

Well, this isn't

I'm sorry. The thing
about not cooperating

is you really want to do it
before you've cooperated.

I'll plead not guilty and claim the

Really going out with

If I plead not guilty, they
won't know what I told you.

They'll know.

The only difference is
you won't be protected.

I'm sorry.

You've not had any visitors.

You wouldn't allow them.

I would have allowed
your mother...

..if she'd asked.

Tough mothering
down South London.

You won't get to me
like that, Mr Boyce.

I've spent my whole life not
letting people get to me like that.

Goodman, take Mr
Cooper to the station.

Give him one box for possessions
and drive him to Wormwood Scrubs,

where he'll be placed
on an open wing.

Open wing?

No. No, I'll speak
to the governor.

A murder would be unhelpful.

Don't put him in the Scrubs yet.

Stick Cooper in the system
as a cooperating witness,

give him one last
night in the station.

With his phone.

The thing about
gold is that, um...

..that it's not yours, you know?

Not really. You're
just looking after it.

And then you die and
it, um, it passes on.

Gold is the one thing
I've ever understood.

It's the one thing I-I-I've
ever had a talent for.

But i-it's never
really mine, you know?

I, uh...

I just do what I need to do
with it and, and I pass it on.

So, yeah, I know
gold, and, yeah,

maybe, uh, not knowing it,

I, uh, I smelted that
Mat's-Brink gold.

But I'm not some
criminal mastermind.

I'm a kid from Solihull, I grew up
in a council flat next to the dump.

Seven kids to a single mom.

Kicked out of school at 12.

I'm unable to read and write.

I'm no armed robber.

I'm no, uh... money launderer.

I'm just a bloke
who knows gold...

HE EXHALES SHARPLY

..who's been taken advantage
of something terrible.

The jury found
Palmer not guilty.

Not guilty?

He was careful.

Others weren't.

You need results.

And I'll get them.

Palmer's an embarrassment.
Noye would be a disaster.

He's beaten us once.
He can't do it again.

He won't.

I've cleared you of
the allegations, Boyce.

I didn't realise quite
how dull you are. Hmm!

Well, if you care to redirect
your investigatory zeal, ma'am...

..start with Carter.

Pull the thread, and you'll
be surprised who emerges.

There are too many men in this
building who serve two masters.

This place doesn't
like change, Boyce.

But it can't go on forever.
Their time will come.

But not yet.

Let's keep them out in the
open where I can see them.

They'll throw the kitchen
sink at you in court.

That's their job.

Do you have enough on Noye?

I believe so, and then
there's what he has.

What's that?

Hubris.

PHONE RINGS

Cooper.

Don't use my name, please.

I heard about your visit
and reacted accordingly.

And I'm calling as a friend to
tip you off that some people

have heard that
you're being helpful,

and they're a little
concerned about that.

I've withdrawn cooperation.

I'm pleading not guilty.

Tomorrow, I'll be relocated to
less salubrious surroundings.

I'm sure your friends have the
means to confirm all of that.

How you bearing up?

As well as I can.

Glad to hear it.

You keep your head down, Edwyn.

You'll be fine.

Edwyn?

Well, you feel like a bit
of an Edwyn to me now.

It's going to be hot.

Wherever Parry is, I
bet it's bloody hot.

Oh, come on, Tone, he
might have gone to ground

in Rotherhithe for all we know.

RADIO: Control to Unit Two.

Unit Two.

I've got the phone trace
from Cooper's phone.

Go on, then.

You don't like the heat,
do you, Brightwell?

HE SIGHS, SHE CHUCKLES

For fuck's sake.

THEY CHATTER

Give us a smile, Marnie!

Johnny! Johnny!
Big smile, Marnie.

Where is it, John?
Over here, John.

Where's the rest of the gold?

This started with gold
and this ends with gold.

Three tonnes of it, Mr Boyce,

stolen from the Brink's-Mat depot
on the Heathrow Trading Estate

on the 26th of November, 1983.

You were tasked with
finding that gold.

I was.

And over these past few years,

with your well-manned Task Force

and your extravagant budget,

have you found any gold that
can definitively be described

as part of the stolen
Brink's-Mat gold?

No.

We don't have the gold because
Mr Noye and his associates

have smelted half of it,

and Mr Noye won't tell us
where the rest of it is.

However, I believe there
is conclusive evidence

as to the smelting operation
and conclusive evidence

that it concerned
the Brink's-Mat gold.

Mr Noye does not deny the
handling of a significant

amount of uncustomed gold and
related money over that period.

He will explain
that to the jury.

We are here to talk about you.

I wasn't aware that
I was on trial.

Are you currently under
disciplinary investigation?

No.

Um, have you ever been investigated
for your conduct in Mr Noye's case?

Investigated and cleared.

But investigated. And cleared.

Move along, Mr McHugh.

The reality is that you
are obsessed with Mr Noye

due to the tragic death of
your colleague, DC Fordham.

DC Fordham did not die.

He was killed.

And I bear no
obsession with Mr Noye.

Mr Noye is a petty
criminal who got lucky.

Well, the fact is I'm
a very wealthy man.

And, yes, truth be told, some of my
earnings don't trouble the taxman.

I, um, I save him the
paperwork. You know what I mean?

And these vast sums of money,
they were generated from

the smelting and reselling
of the Brink's-Mat gold?

You're going to have
to do better than that.

Enlighten me, Mr Noye.

Well, if you knew your history,

then you'd know that London
was built on smuggling.

You see your lot try
to tax my lot to death.

So what did we do?

We went down the smugglers'
lanes to the coast

and we bought what we
needed off the boats.

I like to think that I did my
bit to keep that tradition alive.

And what was your
specific contribution

to that great British tradition?

Well, I met these blokes in
Florida who were like me,

had an eye for an opportunity,

and we put together a
gold smuggling route.

We started in Brazil, because
there's plenty of gold there.

Plenty of people to
look the other way.

And then we sent it to Kuwait, cos
the Arabs, well, they zero-rate it.

And then we brought it
in via the Netherlands,

and we sold it in Belgium
to the Orthodox Jews.

We've put about 50 million
worth of gold through it.

So...

..it has been worth a go.

If I can return you
to less exotic shores,

at your house in Kent, police
found 11 unmarked gold bars,

instructions for a smelter.

Most of that was planted.

It was planted.

The rest of it means nothing.

But why you, Mr Noye?

If you believe that you've
been unfairly targeted,

that the police have fabricated
the evidence against you,

why would they land on you?

Because they don't like
men like me getting rich.

There's a certain type of copper who
really gets put out by it, you know?

Jealous of me having that kind
of money, that kind of life.

I don't know what the average
copper earns in a year,

but I imagine I
earn that in a day.

So...

I moved a lot of gold, and a
lot of money came out of that,

and, yes, the taxman, I suspect,

will want to have a quick word with
me after this, and that's fine.

But I'm not Brink's-Mat.

I ain't.

I don't know nothing
about that robbery,

other than what was
already in the papers.

That some blokes from
South London nicked it

and he ain't found it.

It's working, Senor Palmer.

We have sold a quarter
of the properties

and have 50 builders
working on the rest.

Where's the money?

They say in El Dorado,

there was a king who left piles
of gold all around the city

to show the people he was not
afraid of them stealing it.

The money is saved,
Senor Palmer,

but there's a lot of it.

And this is a small island.

El Dorado needs its king.

I ain't got it.

We know.

We know you went to Panama.

I don't think you knowing I went to
Panama gets you very far, does it?

You'll get ten years.

I'll do five.

Then, to be fair, I reckon, life
won't look too bad when I get out.

When the messenger came, I
thought it might be flowers.

You used to send me flowers when
we had something to celebrate.

I needed a new one. Why?

They tried to nick
you over there.

Yeah. I can sort that.

So you're a gangster
now, are you?

We're going to fix things, love.

I promise.

But it's going to take time,
and it's going to take money.

We had to send
Scadlynn bankrupt,

and since then, there ain't a bank
in England would lend me a penny.

So I'm going to have to
earn some crust over there.

Take the pressure off a bit.

Then we can start getting
back to the way we were.

There's no getting back to that.

No.

Well, be back in a
week, two at the most.

You know, John. Yeah?

All those things
your dad did. Yeah?

All those things that
you carry with you,

you'd have forgiven every single
one of them if he hadn't have left.

I'm not leaving.

What's this?

My cactus.

Well...

..it's nice to see
you've been busy.

A couple of lads
came in last week.

Friends of friends.

And they told me what
happened to my share.

I believed in a code.

I believed in South London.

Others didn't.

What you going to do?

Nothing.

With good behaviour,
I could be out in ten.

We can handle ten, can't we?

Yeah.

I'll wait for you, Micky.

How you doing?

Well, I'd rather be sitting
that side of the table.

You will be.

And from what I've heard, they've
got less on you than they had on me.

You're a clever boy, John.

Yeah.

Kept yourself very clean.

Hidden.

Can I do anything for you?

Nah, you're all right.

Am I all right?

Of course you are.

You're just a poor
kid from Solihull

who got taken advantage
of something terrible.

No, no-one's coming
looking for you, John.

You enjoy the sunshine.

Might even come visit you.

Well, let's get you off, hey?

And then it's done.

I don't know, John.

It's Brink's-Matt.

The size of it,

all the people involved.

I don't think
it'll ever be done.

BELL RINGS

Do you, Michael McAvoy,
take Kathleen Meacock

to be your lawful wedded wife?

To have and to hold in
sickness and in health,

for richer, for poorer, to love and
to cherish until parted by death?

I do.

And do you, Kathleen Meacock,

take Michael McAvoy to be
your lawful wedded husband?

To love and to hold, in
sickness and in health,

for richer and for poorer
to love and to cherish

until parted by death?

I do.

I now pronounce
you man and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

GUNFIRE

If we took on every crime
that comes out of Brink's-Mat,

we'd be here for 20 years. And
they want their building back.

You know, sir, I look at it
all and I don't know who won.

Oh, we'll know who's won
when the jury's come back.

But that doesn't change
what you lot achieved.

This is some of the finest
pieces of policing I've known.

Because outside this room, this,
the whole picture, never existed.

That was the genius of it.

This was a story about
individuals united only by greed.

None of them knew that
all the others existed.

None of them could
see the whole picture.

They just knew their own jobs,

their own greed.

But we tracked them down

and built cases that have
never been built before.

We made alliances that
haven't been made before.

We all know what we
lost along the way.

But we took on more here
than anyone will ever know.

And what came out of it
was this lot in the dock.

What happens next
is out of our hands.

So pack up, seal the files,

and I thank you
for your service.

Can we have a word, sir?

I'm putting you two
up for a promotion,

which is a fairly
terrifying prospect.

Thank you, sir. We only have
the money because of you.

You were right to chase it.

I mean, we got a
few buildings, sir.

Parry slipped the rest away. We
need to get ourselves to Panama.

It's over, Jennings. That's what
we want to talk to you about, sir.

We'd like to go with
you, your next job.

We can't go back to
Flying Squad after this.

This felt important, like
we were changing things.

We want to do something
else that feels like that.

You two will have fine careers.

I have no doubt that you will
change things wherever you go.

But there is no next job.

When Brink's-Mat
is done, I'm done.

KNOCKING Jury's back
at the Old Bailey, sir.

What are you going to do, sir?

Travel.

I'd like to go to Cyprus...

..to lay a wreath.

Has the jury reached a verdict?

Yes, Your Honour.

Kenneth James Noye is
charged with conspiracy

to dishonestly handle gold stolen
from the Brink's-Mat warehouse

on the 26th of November, 1983.

He is, in addition, charged
with fraudulently conspiring

to evade VAT payments
on the stolen gold.

How do you find the defendant?

Guilty.

CHEERING

On all charges.

Defendant will be
sentenced this afternoon.

I hope you all die
of cancer. GASPS

Take him down!

He said he'd finished.

Who?

Cooper.

He said he'd finished
cleaning the money.

We thought we'd stopped him.

We thought we'd
stopped all of them.

There was more to come,
more gold, more money.

But he said he'd finished.

What does that
number mean to you?

We've dropped the charges
against your wife.

You're looking at 14
years, by my reckoning.

A lot of life in 14 years.

You have one card, Noye.

Where's the other
half of the gold?

I'll be remembered for
what I did, Mr Boyce.

In my world, at least.

Cos no-one's ever done anything
like that before, have they?

One and a half tonne
of gold just...

..vanished into thin air.

And having you lot
run about like clowns.

All that chasing,
all that digging...

..for something that
was never there.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll be
remembered for that.

They only ever had
half of it, sir.

The gold must have been
split right at the beginning.

I know.
