[Ellie] Didn't discharge their weapons, wore gloves the entire time.
And as we know, they all wore prosthetics,
so our facial recognition software is completely useless.
IRU tracked their exit on CCTV.
They took public transport and then they split up.
And then they all disappeared into camera blackspots.
We checked how they paid their fares. Debit cards. All of them cloned.
The level they're operating at, the professionalism,
we're talking ex-army, ex-special services, maybe state actors.
There's two strands to this, guys. Find the thieves. Find the money.
As you know, both are time-critical, so we need to move at warp speed. Yeah?
Four billion, the UK's biggest ever robbery and it's people's pensions, okay?
Speak to your DS's about divvying up the video work.
-Any news on the account numbers yet? -Still nothing.
Should come through soon, though. Commissioner's putting the pressure on.
I think that's our guy.
-DI Ellie Lloyd. -DI Lloyd. I'm Darren Yoshida. I'm your--
-Nice to meet you. -Yeah. [clears throat]
Hi, er, DCI Cov...
-Covaci. -Covaci.
I'm, er, Darren Yoshida, your Financial Investigator.
-Took your time. -Erm, sorry?
You should have been here yesterday afternoon.
Well, I, er, was assigned the case an hour ago.
I came straight here. So...
-An hour ago? -Yeah.
[Ellie] So much for warp speed.
-Let's get you started. -[Darren] Yep.
Now...
[Reporter] We don't yet know exactly what was taken, or indeed how much.
But the fact this raid...
[lift beeping]
[sighs]
-ID, please. -Yeah.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
[woman on TV] Is there a risk individual customers might lose their pensions?
[man on TV] That is the question...
Morning.
[man on TV] And if people have lost their pensions, will they get compensation?
-What? -And if so, who's going to pay it?
-We need to talk. -[woman on TV] Thank you, George.
That was George Ainsworth...
Five million? What are you... They said a hundred grand!
-Luke, you need to check your account. -Five million--
Luke! You need to take the crypto from your account,
put it on the cold wallet. Offline.
Sure, and then I've got a bloody crypto wallet with five million--
Which you can hide! Okay?
If you leave the money online, then there's a trail between us and them!
We need to do exactly what they told us, which actually, by the way,
you should have done already.
Use a VPN to log onto your online account,
move the money, hide it, close the account.
They've done this on purpose.
You realise they've done this so it looks like we were involved.
We were involved. Okay? Just 'cause they said it was gonna be a hack,
and that we only had to give our login details, does not...
[Wayne whistling]
-Hello, mate! -[Wayne] Mate.
-Hey. -How's it?
[Wayne] Pretty mental, eh?
Josh said, on his way in,
some journalist offered him five grand for office photos and a bit of gossip.
Stop. What gossip?
-I don't know. -Oh.
[Wayne] So, you two are gonna have your work cut out, eh?
Why?
Because we've got a £4 billion hole in portfolios.
It's good of you to come in, though, and help with it all.
I mean, if that was me, gun pointed to my head,
I would've taken the next six months off with stress.
Yeah, well, it's an emergency, right? All hands on deck.
[Wayne] Mm-hm.
-Cheers. -[Luke] Cheers, Wayne.
[whispers] What the fuck?
What the fuck? What the fuck was that? He suspects.
-Everyone suspects. -No, no, no, they don't.
-Yes... -They have no reason to.
There's no evidence.
Apart from the ten million quids' worth of pensions that we now own!
Okay. I know. I know. I know.
-We have go to the police. -What?
It's the only way. It's-- We have to say that we were duped
and that we just thought we were giving business details over to a rival--
What do you think they'll do if we go to the police?
-You saw what they did to Jason and Donny. -So, what the fuck do we do?
-Right now-- -Luke.
-Hey. -The detectives from yesterday are here,
conducting a few follow-up interviews. They asked if they could speak with you.
So, what, they're here? Cool. Um...
Yeah, why-why do they want to speak to... me?
[stammers] 'Cause, sorry, I spoke to them yesterday.
-Follow-up interviews. -Oh, yeah, you said that.
It's not a problem, is it? I said you could use room six.
[Luke] Yeah, that's... I'm so busy with the, um...
Just like the rebalancing and the transfers right now, it's...
Obviously, yeah. Yeah, I'll be there in a minute.
Whatever they need. All good. Cool.
[Sophia] I'll see you both at the trauma counselling session later.
Oh yeah, yeah. Can't wait for that.
[phones ringing]
What did you say to them in your interview yesterday?
Nothing! I think I just spent the whole thing crying.
Fuck's sake, don't admit anything, okay?
We need to really think it through and also, if you confess,
we'll spend the rest of our lives in prison or we'll end up dead. Okay?
Okay.
[Luke sighs]
-[Rhys] Luke, come in. -[Luke] How's it going?
[Rhys] Have a seat.
[Myrtle] Morning.
Er, Myrtle. Didn't expect to see you today.
[Myrtle] Are you kidding me? Did you see all the press outside?
My mate WhatsApped me.
I was in the background on the news,
-walking into the office. -Ah!
Look.
[clears throat]
Mmm! Yeah, cool.
[Myrtle] So cool.
[Rhys] Thank you for talking to us again.
We know how much work you have dealing with the aftermath.
[Luke] Yeah.
To tell you the truth I'm impressed you turned up at all.
Yeah, well, it's an emergency, right? All hands on deck.
Ellie, you met yesterday.
This is Darren Yoshida. He's an accredited Financial Investigator.
Prior to the police, Darren was an investment manager in the City,
which should hopefully give him a good insight into what happened.
Cool.
Er... Yeah, so, just a few technical questions, if that's all right?
First up, the, er, the four billion in your cash account.
That's a pretty large chunk of your AUM, isn't it?
Mm.
Do you usually have that much sitting in cash?
Oh, er, no. No, no, it was just, we were doing, er, a portfolio rebalancing.
Er, just a pretty big one.
You do that often?
Erm...
Probably every couple of years.
So, the thieves just happened to strike on the single week in the last three years
that you've had the money sitting in cash?
Er, yeah. Yeah, I guess so, yeah.
Er, I am going to pop to the loo now.
[breathes shakily]
[sighs]
Last catch-up question.
[Darren] Just to confirm, the thieves, they needed the Investment Committee
-to sign off the trades, right? Yeah? -Mmm.
[Darren] There just happened to be an Investment Committee meeting
the morning of the robbery?
Yeah. Well, er, yeah.
But, um, to be fair, it's... You know, they happen once a week.
So, there's like a... a one-in-five chance.
-Luke. -Mm?
Is there anything you wanna tell us?
These are dangerous people.
They put two of your colleagues in hospital.
They were carrying automatic weapons
and the way they were handling them suggests they're professionals.
Ruthless. Cold-blooded.
But us, we can protect you, Luke.
You just need to give me the word.
Er...
I think that's... Just thinking. Yeah, that's everything.
I've told you everything I know so, um...
if that's all, am I good to go? Please?
Thanks for taking the time.
We really appreciate it.
[Luke] Cheers. Sorry. Er, thank you.
Cheers, thanks.
If I was planning this and wanted an inside man,
I'd go for someone on the trade processing team.
Told you.
You're planning a heist like this,
you don't let it all rest on someone like Luke.
They cultivated a backup, too.
Either way, we don't have enough to arrest him yet.
I'll talk to the Super about surveillance.
They know. All right? They know.
Every question they were asking me was like an accusation.
And they've got this, this finance guy, this expert in there.
Just, everything I could say, he knew I was bullshitting, okay?
I knew they knew. They fucking know!
-Keep your voice down. -[door opens]
-Yo. -Hey!
Hey.
-Are you two coming to the trauma thing? -Yeah.
-Yeah, sure. -We're going there now.
-Course, yeah. -It's, like, starting now.
Yeah. We'll be along in a minute.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
I'm not going to the trauma thing.
[Myrtle] I just wanted to say that
I think it's amazing that Lochmill has arranged for these sessions.
It... It really shows how much they care about their employees.
Oh, and I also wanted to thank Zara.
Like, you basically put your life on the line for me
when you tried to get the thieves to ignore me.
And when you took the call from the custodian bank,
I think, like, you might have saved all of our lives.
And I just want to thank you.
Zara, it sounds like you were really central to all of this,
but you've not really spoken much yet.
Is there anything you'd like to share?
-I... I guess I just... -[phone ringing]
Sorry.
Er...
I mean, I guess I just feel the same as everyone else here.
You know, everything everyone's said about their traumas
and everything we went through...
[doctor] Okay. [chuckles] Thank you, Zara.
Who else?
Luke? What about you?
Erm...
I am still feeling pretty traumatised.
Um...
Probably too traumatised to talk.
Of course. Of course, that's all right, Luke.
We've all gotta come to this in our own time.
[stammers] I guess the thing that I'm feeling, right now,
is I feel scared to go outside knowing that they're still on the street.
I feel like none of us are safe any more.
I don't know about you lot, but I, you know, don't feel safe.
I don't feel safe at all and...
No, I don't know that I'll ever feel safe again.
-[doctor] Thank you, thank you. -[Zara sighs]
-What you just did-- -Fuck off. Fuck off. Fuck off.
No, we can use it. We can use it.
[Luke sighs]
Guv? Got a minute?
[Nichols] I'll catch you later.
What the hell's going on?
Excuse me?
Darren Yoshida. The Financial Investigator.
He should have been assigned within two hours of us making the request.
-Instead-- -We were trying to get you
the best there is. And we did.
Is that it? Because I have somewhere else I need to be.
Lochmill and the custodian bank.
They still haven't given up the account details we need.
You said you were putting the pressure on.
How are you not moving at full pelt? My team is.
Rhys...
There are more important things going on here than you're aware of.
More important than thousands of people losing their pensions?
Just remember. Tomorrow morning, call in sick with stress.
I mean, you already announced to half the company how distressed you are.
They won't suspect. Then tonight, soon as you get home,
use the VPN to download the money onto the cold wallet,
leave the flat, stash it somewhere safe. Okay?
Then after that, all you've gotta do is chill.
Keep your head down. Don't call me. And above all--
Yeah, don't call the police.
I'll keep an eye on things this end. Anything happens, I'll let you know.
We're gonna get through this, okay? Just follow the plan.
[distant siren]
Custodian bank finally got back to us. The accounts the money was sent to.
-This is where the money is? -No, it's where the money was sent.
To accounts at this bank, but no idea whose accounts yet.
Willemstad Bank and Trust, British Virgin Islands?
-I've never heard of it. -Well, no reason you should have.
It's a private bank in a notorious tax haven.
It'll be like a Swiss bank. Small. Discrete. Super-rich.
If we know where the money is, can't we just reverse the transaction?
We can't take money out of someone's account in another country.
I'll put in a request to contact the authorities
in the British Virgin Islands via the FIU, get some details.
What's the timeframe for a response?
-Two to three weeks, normally. -Two to three weeks?
Because all their other cases are more important?
How do we speed things up?
Erm, political pressure.
Diplomatic Services, Foreign Office, Bank of England.
It'll need to be quick. The money won't stay there long.
Maybe it's already gone.
Yeah, maybe.
[beeps]
[man] Two Bravo. I have eyes on subject. In his building, he's at his window.
Looks like he's surveying the street. Over.
[policeman] Copy that, Two Bravo. Over.
[breathing heavily]
-[beeps] -Fuck.
-Hello. -Hey.
Scratch card?
It's not like you.
Yeah, actually. Fuck it. Yeah, I'll take one.
[distant siren]
[sighs]
[Zara] I just wanted to er, see how you are.
It's all just been a bit, erm, shit at the moment.
And it...
got me thinking about fixing things between us.
Oh, right, yeah. Patch it up with your mother
and that's one less thing to stress about.
Well, I suppose, yes. Is that so bad?
No. Course not. It's nice to know I made it onto the "to-do" list.
Am I before or after cleaning the gutters?
Fuck's sake, Mum. Why do you have to twist everything around?
-Every single time I try I come-- -Yeah, I'm so sorry.
If I'd have known you were coming, I'd have rolled out the red carpet.
[sighs]
So, why's it all a bit shit at the moment?
[knocking on door]
[sighs]
Oh, God! That doesn't look like my delivery, sorry.
Hang on a minute. No, that's not everything.
-I should have at least two of those. -[man] That's everything on the list.
[Haley] It's a mistake.
What the fuck are you doing?
Just came to use the loo and... I don't know.
What, you got nostalgic?
[newsreader] ...more on the robbery at Lochmill Capital.
Police confirmed earlier today
that the amount stolen from the pensions manager
was in excess of £4 billion,
making it the largest armed robbery in British history.
The funds were taken yesterday morning in a daring raid
with intruders gaining entry to the office and forcing staff at gunpoint
to transfer money from the company's accounts.
Following the heist, Lochmill Capital released a statement
saying it was working with police and was setting up a contact centre
for anyone concerned about what happened.
[chatter, music playing]
Evening, Jimmy. Busy tonight?
Not yet. The stars are on their way.
Off you go.
[beeps]
Have a good night.
[phone ringing]
Hey, Luke.
[Luke] Zara, it's me, sorry, I know you said not to call but...
I did not say that.
It's the cold wallet. I've done the transfer,
but I can't go outside to stash it because they're outside.
And I can't hide it in here because of the bugs.
So, what the fuck do I do?
Luke. What bugs? What are you talking about?
I think they're watching me, Zara. I think they've bugged my flat.
Fuck! It's game over, we're done!
-We're done. -No, Luke, I think you are...
I think you're stressed.
I have to call the police, I--
No, no, no. Do not call the police! You don't need the police, Luke.
You need a doctor
or a counsellor or just a mate, okay? Because I think you're clearly stressed
and traumatised.
And you're not really making any sense right now.
But it's okay. Just stay where you are, I'm gonna come over. Okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, you're right. I'll stay here and I'll find the bugs.
I'll find the cameras, yeah, I'll wait for you, I'll find them.
Okay, I'm gonna be there as soon as I can, okay?
Just go and lie down and try to take your mind off.
[distant siren]
I told you he was gonna get worse. He's a liability.
We need to take him out. Now.
The unmarked police car's still round the back.
Then there's that car, obviously.
And the foot tracker's by the hotel down the road.
So, we're good to go?
We're good to go.
Copy that. Moving out.
[muffled voices on radio]
-Pizza delivery. -[man] I didn't order anything.
-You're number 48? -Yeah, I didn't order anything.
Fuck's sake. This is the third time this week.
Look, listen, brother, do you want the pizzas for a tip?
I'll just be throwing them away otherwise.
No, thanks. Sorry.
All right.
[keypad beeps, ringing]
Cops are gonna notice if he doesn't get in there soon.
[woman] Yeah, fuck it. All right then. I'm on the seventh floor.
[door buzzer]
He's inside. Go.
Zero, seven.
Not like you to "hit and run".
I'm not running, Jimmy. I'm strolling.
[phone buzzing]
DCI Covaci.
Hi. Hi, it's um, Luke. Can I talk to you about some things?
Hi, Luke. Are you okay?
Yeah, I don't wanna talk about it on the phone, can you come here?
Luke, if you've got something important to tell me, please tell me now.
-I promise you-- -Could you come here?
Come here. I don't wanna talk about it on the phone.
Luke, if it's important--
Just come here! Come here please! Come here!
Okay. Okay. Sure. I'm heading off now.
-You're in Canary Wharf, right? -Yes!
I've got your address. I'm leaving now.
In the meantime, stay inside, stay safe. See you in a bit.
He's coming on his own from Bishopsgate.
That gives us seven minutes.
[phone buzzing]
-Guv? -[Rhys] Hello, mate.
I had a call from our subject asking me to come for a chat.
He sounded agitated. Anything happening there?
All quiet.
Check with the unit at the back of the building.
Make sure everything's okay. I'll be there in ten. 15 tops.
[policeman] Xray to Bravo One Alpha.
Do a walk-past of the subject building. Over.
Copy that, One Alpha.
Can you pull over here, please?
Keep the change.
[knocking on door]
[knocking]
[mutters]
Food delivery. Hello?
[ringing]
[grunting]
[yells in pain]
[grunting]
What the fuck, help!
Ah!
No! Ah! Help!
[Luke grunting]
Ah!
[sobs softly]
[banging]
[policeman] Xray Two Bravo One Alpha. Do another walk past. Over.
[Zara grunts]
