INAUDIBLE SPEECH
We find the case proven.
Based on the testimonies heard in this room,
it seems clear to us that Detective Inspector Harris and
Detective Sergeant Taylor's investigation into this case
was conducted with such fervour, with such unwavering conviction
of the plaintiff's guilt,
that their conduct did indeed amount to harassment.
We do of course offer our full and unreserved apologies to
Mr and Mrs Walker.
A date will be set to hear any claim for compensation.
Could we please now show Mr and Mrs Walker out,
so the board can make its disciplinary recommendations?
Due to the nature of the law and the recommendations held within,
it leaves me with little choice but to herewith relieve DI Harris
and DS Taylor of their duties as police officers.
Further, it is our recommendation that unless any new evidence comes
to light, the investigation into Mr and Mrs Walker should now be closed.

PRESS CLAMOUR
We're just glad it's all over, that everyone now knows there was
no truth at all in any of these accusations. Now we'd like to
be left alone, please, so that we can get on with our lives.
Thank you very much.

Holly Goodridge.
Can I ask if you have anything to say to the
organisations inside Syria that were promised financial help?
No comment. Were you aware that one of the orphanages that you
used in your campaign has now been closed?
Look, we've said all we intend to say.
Here's an easier one. Where'd you hide the money?
Thank you very much, we are exonerated.
Please leave us to live our lives in peace, thank you.
PEOPLE CHATTER
We have the finest police force in the world, now no-one can
deny that but, I just wish that sometimes
they would think about what their priorities ought to be.
Getting off their arses,
catching real criminals, not harassing law abiding citizens.
Well said, Laurence. They should be out chasing these benefit cheats.
Absolutely, absolutely, but to be fair, in the end, the right decision
was made, and do you know, the IPCC did a bloody marvellous job.
So I would like to raise a toast.
To the justice system.
GUESTS: The justice system.

My gran had one of those.
Your gran?
Yeah, knitting wasn't really her thing.
'Hello?'
HELEN: 'It's me. Meet me in Hyde Park in an hour.'
Your marriage ended before you had children, didn't it, Jack?
Yeah, thanks for reminding me.
It's just that there's a protective instinct built into most of us
where children are concerned. It's quite extraordinary.
Laurence and Sally Walker. Ex-MP and former bank finance director.
They preyed on that very instinct by setting up a charity for children
affected by the unrest in Syria. They raised just over £3 million.
One day the money simply disappeared from their account.
They said they were the victims of a terrible cyber crime.
But you think the Walkers stole it. Of course they did!
Sally Walker's area of expertise
was online banking fraud, it's so brazen it beggars belief.
They knew full well the police couldn't prove anything.
Scotland Yard's IT specialist unit couldn't trace the money either.
Right, so, they're a couple of con artists, why do you need me?
Because two very good police officers lost their jobs this morning.
DI Peter Harris and DS Yvonne Taylor knew the Walkers were guilty
and kept pursuing them, waiting for them to slip up.
The Walkers complained to the IPCC.
Taylor and Harris were found guilty of police harassment.
Nasty. It leaves the Walkers virtually untouchable,
the police can't go anywhere near them.
And the IPCC have said the case should be closed
unless any new evidence can be found.
So you want us to find this "new" evidence? Yes. How?
By doing the thing no-one else has managed to do - find the money.
He's a retired MP?
Yeah, retired being a euphemism for losing his seat in the election.
She was a finance director for one of the major banks,
a high-end accountant specialising in banking fraud.
Which comes in handy when you're planning to steal
and hide £3 million worth of charity donations.
You know, I think I gave 'em 20 quid.
Wow, well that makes it personal.
Their story goes that your 20 quid along with the rest
of the 3 million was in their bank one minute and gone the next.
Allegedly stolen by mystery hackers
that the police never managed to trace.
Right, so they've moved it, but nobody knows where?
Exactly. And because of them,
two good coppers lost their jobs this morning.
Do you think they'll get their jobs back then,
if we can prove the Walkers are guilty? We're their only chance.
And we do that by finding the money? Yeah. Simple.
Really?
Cos if Scotland Yard's finest IT unit couldn't find this money,
then how can we?
Well, that's easy. We've got something they haven't.
Which is?
TomTom.
We need someone who thinks like a criminal.
I find that very offensive. Oh, poor baby.
Have you got any idea how hard it is to hack into a bank,
let alone tracking financial transactions through cyberspace?
So you can't do it?
I never said that, I was just bigging up my part.
Come on then.
Step aside, this is man's work.
Oh, here.
Just have a coffee and a cake. We have to be careful, remember.
Right.
We have to behave as normal, as agreed.
Normal, got it. Right, right. As in...?
You write your autobiography, I play the little woman at home,
very patient.
And then, when we're absolutely sure we've been completely forgotten,
we take a trip and we never come back!
Excellent.
THEY LAUGH
Syria was a masterstroke.
This is crazy. It left their account and went to Madrid,
then to Barcelona, from there to Lisbon
then on to the Cayman Islands, which is where the police lost it. But I
think I know why. I mean, they were searching for large amounts, right?
Yeah, but if you were a crook, you'd know that, so you'd break it up.
So three days after arriving in Cayman Islands,
there were 38 smaller transfers all under £100,000.
And that's easy to miss. I mean, 38 transactions amongst thousands,
it wouldn't register. He's enjoying this, ain't he?
But, and here's the clever bit, all 38, totalling 3 million sterling
were all transferred to the same account.
Now that's genius.
So where's the bank?
Barbados. But, before you rush off and pack your budgie smugglers,
it was only there four hours.
So where's it now?
No idea.
Why do I feel strangely empty?
Hey look, this is pretty time consuming stuff, guys.
I mean, as soon as I break one bank's encryption, I find that the
money has moved again and I have to start cracking another one.
So how long's it going to take, TomTom?
It's been through six different banks in five countries already.
For all I know, it could be what, 100 banks in 50 countries.
I think I'll get there, but I'd hate it to be your only plan.
It might help if you can narrow it down for me, say, to a continent.
JACK SIGHS
Right, so let's come at this a different way.
The Walkers must be feeling pretty safe, right?
Especially if they think they're untouchable.
They'll be relaxed, off-guard.
They've won their harassment case, the investigation has been
closed, so they must feel like they're home free.
Battle won. Maybe it's time to start making plans.
DOOR BELL RINGS
Yeah, no-one's looking at them any more
so they can start talking about spending all this lovely money.
Maybe even where it is.
Them talking about it is one thing, us hearing it, that's another.
Yeah, and especially as we're not allowed to go anywhere near 'em.
We need full surveillance in that house.
So we need them out of it.
We need to come up with something they won't be able to resist.
Sal?
Mm-hmm?
Sally?
What?
We've been invited to a lunch.
Remembering Margaret. They're even sending a car for us.
Why would they invite you?
I mean, you're not even one of them any more.
They clearly think I am, erm...
Right, well I'd better get a new suit.
You've got plenty of suits.
Oh, come on, Sally, it's not as if we can't afford it.
We agreed we'd be careful didn't we, Laurence?!
This, this is only a suit! Yes, and you can wear your blue one.
The one you bought for Esme's Christening.

You look bored, Maggie.
The people you pledged money to are still waiting,
aren't they, Mrs Walker? We have nothing to say to you.
I was out there, sending reports back from Damascus,
you never even visited the orphanages, did you?
We're the victims in all this, you know.
The victims are the people you cheated. If you don't mind, thank you.
I found the little boy whose photo you used in your campaign.
His carers said he'd stopped crying
because he didn't think anyone was coming to save him.
We were completely exonerated. He died in my arms.
Honest hard-working people donated their money
and you stole it, didn't you, Mrs Walker?
I think you'll find that's slander.
Well then sue me and let's have this discussion in court.
Careful, you'll put them off their lunch.
I'd prefer if they choked on it.
Get me out of here. I want to go home.
Just ignore them, Sally. The lunch...
Oh, sod the bloody lunch. Everybody's staring at us!
Would you take me home? Sally... Now! Sally! Sa...
Charlie, get back here, they're leaving.

Jack? What's going on?
Jumped in a cab, they're heading back to you.
What? We haven't finished yet, we need...at least another hour.
You've got about 20 minutes.
You need to get those pictures live as quickly as possible.
I didn't know she'd be there.
All right, TomTom, we need to check the photos.
Everything needs to be just right.

OK.
We could go to the Press Complaints Committee.
We could sue her, we could, they've got,

You made Sally Walker look a little bit embarrassed.
One of my many talents.
Charity Regulation Office?
We want the Walkers just as much as you do.
Thanks.
I thought the investigation had been shelved.
By the police, maybe.
So how can I help?
Just wanted to get a bit of background on the Walkers,
anything you might know.
Where do you want me to start? They're callous, they're greedy
and they think they're better than everyone else.
And what about your unbiased take on them?
I spent time out there.
They made promises to people, gave them hope.
You know, kids who thought they'd find their parents again,
shelters waiting for food and clothing.
They took the money for themselves and they'll get away with it.
Not if we can help it.
I think they've got everything worked out to the last detail.
They do seem pretty tight.
Well, he's a dick, harmless, stupid, but a dick.
But her, she's Cruella de Vil, she's smart as smart gets.
You really think she's that clever?
She made £3 million disappear into thin air, didn't she?
Hang on. You said "didn't she". Sorry?
It's OK, thanks very much for your help. You've given me an idea.
Are you going? But I didn't tell you anything, did I?
More than you know. I'll call you.
Right. Change of plan.
Jack, no, you need to see this! Play it, Charlie? Yeah.
'Let's just go away and never come back.
'It's too soon. People would notice.
'I don't know. I thought we'd agreed all this.
'No, Sal, we're not getting on any more, and that worries me.
'I want us to be happy.
'You know we're in, we're in a limbo. The longer we stay here,
'the more we'll squabble and things will fall apart.
'This is just killing us as a couple.
'Come on, Sal, what about it? Let's go.
'And never come back?
'Never, never!'
TomTom's drawing a blank and there's nothing recorded we can use.
If they leave the country, we're screwed.
And we'll never find out where the money is.
So what was this change of plan you were talking about?
Oh, it's just a hunch.
Hunch is good.
Sally Walker is doing all the running, yeah? Mm-hmm.
Laurence needs something, he asks her permission,
he wants to buy a new car he needs to convince her. Even this!
He wants to go away, he's got to convince her first.
So he needs to grow a pair, we already knew that.
No, it's more than that.
I don't think she's told him where the money is!
No, no way. That's like her wearing all the trousers at once.
We can sit here for weeks, they're never going to talk about the money,
because she hasn't told him where it is!
That's why he has to ask her permission for everything,
because he hasn't got a clue.
Yeah. So it's not them we need to crack. It's her.
And that's going to help us how?
Well, that's the hunch I'm talking about.
It came to me on the way back.

Laurence, where on earth have you been?
'We have your husband.'

We have your husband. We know you stole that money.
And we know you've still got it.
You've just been sent a text message with an IBAN number
for an overseas account.
MOBILE PHONE BEEPS
You've got one hour to put £1 million in that account.
I haven't got that sort of money.
You pay the ransom or he's dead.
No more discussion. And no police.
It's impressive. Done it before?
She's bricking it.
Good.
What if she has a heart attack and just dies?
Yeah, that's a fair point.
Seriously though, I never checked her medical records.
She might have a weak ticker and keel over from the stress.
She'll be fine, I doubt she's even got a heart.
So let me get this straight, she pays in the million
and the second she does, TomTom gets access to her secret account.
Yeah, that's all the proof we need.
Nice.
She's got one hour.
TomTom, not much point, is there? We'll know where it is soon.
It's not the same. No? Uh-uh.
Because her giving it to us is not the same as me finding it.

Do you think she's going to do it?
As long as she thinks that we're real kidnappers,
she'll think she can pay us off without anyone finding out it
was her that stole it in the first place.
Is that a yes or a no?

I'm guessing this wasn't part of the plan?
Plans change all the time. This...
This doesn't have to be a bad thing.
We've kidnapped someone, Jack.
Yeah, and we can use it to our advantage.
She can't transfer the money with the police there.
No. She will if she thinks she's got no choice.
We'll call her back and let her talk to him.
Do you think she'll pay? She'd better. And if she doesn't?
Then we make it the last time they ever speak to each other.
Either she pays up, or we kill him.
And dump the body.
I know a great place. No-one'll ever find him.

Look, just plain English, Flint.
They're sending sound and possibly pictures over a 4G wi-fi frequency,

Either way, they'll need a SIM card.

So the IPCC rule that the Walker investigation is closed, two police

Sorry doesn't quite cut it.
Can you square this or not?
Of course I can't!
You've been caught in the act of carrying out a criminal offence.
Kidnapping and demanding a ransom. So that's it?
HE TUTS
Then you get the others out. You get them out or I'll go public.
I mean it. I'll keep my mouth shut and I'll do the time,
but only if you get them to let them go. This was my plan, they were
only following me. Do what you want with me, Helen, but they walk.
DOORS BANGING, SHOUTING
MAN: I'm not going in there!
SHOUTING CONTINUES
DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
KEYS RATTLE
DOOR OPENS
This confirms they've been released into your custody.
If you'd just like to initial by the side of the names,
all four prisoners.
Thank you.
Here's your key.
Give us a second.
Helen.
Thank you. That was a one-time only deal, Jack.
Your last get out of jail free card, I mean it.
What did you tell them?
I didn't tell them anything. But I convinced my boss to call
the Commissioner and tell him you were MI5.
There's a lot of work to be done and a lot to cover up,
so excuse me if I don't hang around. What about the Walkers?
We retrieved all the surveillance equipment from their house
and the matter is closed.
I can't begin to tell you how embarrassing this was for me
or how long it will take me to repay the favour.
I was all for holding you to your word
and just letting the other three go, but he said it would be too messy.
Now the favour comes with a 24-carat condition. What?
You stay away from the Walkers. You...
It's non-negotiable. After the trauma they've suffered...
What? They're planning a trip abroad.
Oh! They leave the day after tomorrow. Brilliant.
Well, that's it. You know they won't come back, don't you?
We'll live with that. You mean, you'll have to live with it...
Listen, Jack! You are not to contact them.
You are not to step foot inside their house.
You are not to carry out any kind of surveillance or hinder them
in any way.
I want your word.
Fine.
Good. Every time you screw up, it's a black mark. It all counts.
How did they do it? How did they beat us?
A pair like that. Mr and Mrs Vile.
Fancy a drink?
I'd be shit company.
Can't win 'em all. Even you.
Sal, you would've paid, wouldn't you? Of course.
Only it didn't seem that way.
You know, you seemed pretty, well, you were pretty adamant.
Darling, I was following police instructions.
Yes, I'm...I'm sure that's the best way.
I'd have quite happily given the entire three million to have
you back here, my darling, without a second thought.
You promise?
Cross my heart.
I-I-I was thinking... Yes?
Well, perhaps I should know where the money is too. Just in case
something happens to you. And I could pay up like you would have.
SHE CHUCKLES
All will be revealed tomorrow.
Really? Absolutely.
Start as you mean to go on. G&T?
Please.
On its way...
RECORDING REWINDING
WALKERS' SPEECH DISTORTED
'We're sitting on a fortune.
'Yes, we are.'
DOOR OPENS
I can't do it.
Can't do what?
Sleep. Not when I know that money's still out there.
It doesn't matter now, mate.
Well, it matters to me.
I have to know that she's not smarter than me, right.
DOOR CLOSES
All right?
What are you doing here?
Couldn't sleep.
He phoned me. He was worried about you.
No, I wasn't.
I said you'd be fine. He thought you'd be drunk, morose
and all on your own.
Two out of three.
Boom!
Whoa, dude! I just crashed.
Sorry, mate. I found it. Found what?
I found the money. Where?
63 banks, four continents, 18 countries,
400 'you think you're so clever you're going to split it into smaller amounts' transactions
and it reached its final destination, in euros,
in Switzerland on Friday the 24th August.
Where it was withdrawn by special arrangement. In cash!
Switzerland. Hang on!
Here we go, here we go, here we go.
Er, yes! Switzerland! 21st August until the 28th.
So we've got them.
Not really. You know, the cash was collected by a courier.
So it's a start, it's more than we had before, but that's all.
TomTom's right, we still don't know where it is.
It could be in a safety deposit box anywhere in Europe,
they could have bought diamonds with it.
Or they could have brought it back to the UK.
I mean, how much would something like that weigh?
Three-mil sterling? Yeah.
In 500 euro notes? Two, maybe three bags of sugar.
It really could be anywhere.
Only we're not allowed anywhere near them to follow it up.
That sucks.

'We're sitting on a fortune. Yes. We are.'
She's laughing at us. At him.
Hello, someone's got another hunch.
The last one got us arrested. Just saying.
'We're sitting on a fortune. Yes, we are.'
The money. It's in the house. Exactly.
Look. Look at her face. In that second there, she can't resist it.
A private joke...with herself.
You know, we finally crack it, we hunt down the money
and the minute we do, we have to just walk away.
That is perfect. That's...that's brilliant.
Well, no, no, hang on. Why don't we just bowl in there,
rip up some floorboards, find the money, done?
We can't. They're untouchable.
You said that with a serious face.
Sorry, guys.
FIRE ALARM BEEPS
Sal. Hmm?
Sal? Hmm?
HE COUGHS
Fire! Oh, help me!
OK, Sal, don't worry. Don't worry. Do something!
HE CONTINUES COUGHING
Got to get out of here!
Put this on your head now. For the smoke.
Give me your hand. Give me your hand. Now don't let go.
OK, come on!
It's coming from downstairs. I can't see a thing.
Keep your head down. Don't let go of me, please.
The whole place has gone up. God, it's everywhere.
Everywhere.
Please, let's get out. Out. Out.
SIRENS BLARE
HE PANTS AND WRETCHES
No!
Sally, what?
The sodding money!
Sally, no! No! No, Sally!
ALARM CONTINUES BEEPING
Help! Help me! My wife! She's inside!
Whereabouts? I don't know. She just went inside.
Stay there. Please help...
ORNAMENT SHATTERS
SHE COUGHS
SHE GASPS
Get off me!
I got it. I got it, Laurence. I got all of it!
I don't understand. This was in the house all the time?
And you didn't tell me?
SHE BABBLES FRANTICALLY
Please! Just do it properly! Just get this sorted out.
SALLY LAUGHS
You gave me your word.
Which I kept. I didn't go anywhere near the Walkers,
carry out any surveillance or step foot inside their house.
By the skin of your teeth, Mr Quinn.
It all counts.
World exclusive.
The papers show the money trail. You can thank me over dinner.
My God.
How?
Darling?
Who exactly are you? Erm...
Who's this?
Oh, er, Jamie, this is erm...
Nobody. I'm nobody.
GUNSHOT
Ahmed Demeer.
You're a murdering bastard.
What was he told? To let a murderer walk free.
Why? National security.
You remember that call we talked about? Time to make it.
Charles Napier, Intelligence Service.
Can you get me out of this?
Well, that depends on how good your information is.
Is it right that Ahmed's reward is freedom?
Once he's grassed and MI5 have got their men,
we'll take Ahmed away and see that he faces justice.
Who are you working for? SHE SCREAMS
We need to push it to an 11 on the persuasion scale.
This is a 12.
This guy is informing on terrorists in order to stay out of jail.
What can we possibly throw at him that'll make him want to confess?
HE ROARS Mehmet, put the knife down! Ahmed!
ENGINE ROARS Get down!
