00:00Today, in Moscow, President Bush and President Putin met for their long-awaited economic
00:29summit. It was announced that $20 billion of aid to the Russian Federation has been
00:34granted by the International Monetary Fund. Our correspondent Jeff Mead is in Moscow for
00:38us. Jeff, $20 billion, a huge amount of money? Okay, this is a massive vote of confidence
00:44in the Russian Federation, and it's very much down to the pressure from President Bush that
00:50this aid has been given.
00:51Vicious.
01:19You are a clerk in the Ministry of Finance. You have a password to an account. I cannot
01:41access it unless you enter the password. Please do so now. What's the matter? It's
01:52only American money.
02:22Do we really have to involve them?
02:51Can't MI6 do the job? They want to keep a safe distance, and the last thing we want
02:57is the fraud squad. Dear God, no. So, we're stuck with these people. Oh, hurry, come in.
03:07Sir John. This is Tom Quinn. Tom, Sir John Barry, Governor of the Bank of England. Very
03:12pleased to meet you. Tom. And this is Sir Richard Bowman, Head of the Bank, Bowman and
03:18How are you, Dickie? Oh, not quite in the pink. But, well. Dickie and I go back a very
03:24long way. Right. So, shall we? Actually, someone is joining us. I'm running a little late.
03:33I hope no one's inconvenienced. Please, sit down, everyone. This is Amanda Roke from the
03:40Chancellor of the Exchequer's office. And Miss Roke, this is Harry Pearce, Tom Quinn
03:46from MI5. Pleased to meet you, Miss Roke. You're a Treasury civil servant? I'm the Chancellor's
03:53political counsel. Perhaps Sir Richard should... Last night, one of our employees stole one
04:06billion dollars from us. This is our thief, John Lightwood. Young man, I would have trusted
04:15with my life. The Chancellor is deeply concerned about this matter. Bowman & Co. is more than
04:20an old family bank. It is a British institution. A scandal like this could send it to the wall.
04:26It could trigger a stock exchange crash, even lead to a major economic depression. We cannot
04:30allow that to happen. That is why we suggested MI5 be called in to find John Lightwood and
04:36recover the money he stole. I'm sorry, but surely this is a job for Scotland Yard. There's
04:40a sensitivity here. Police would mean court cases and leaks to the press. What sensitivity?
04:47Look, all you have to do is do what you're told. I beg your pardon? It's all right, Tom.
04:53The stock exchange may tremble, but old family banks have gone to the wall before and MI5
04:58hasn't been called in. What's so special about this case? Very well, Bowman & Co. handles
05:04certain government accounts. Ah, so you're the government's dirty bank? I don't think
05:10this is helpful. This is very adventurous of you, Dickie. Thank you, Harry. As far as
05:17MI5 is concerned, this operation is strictly on a need-to-know basis. All you have to do
05:22is find John Lightwood and the money. This is his file. Right. Well, we better get on
05:34with playing a policeman. You will liaise with my office? Absolutely. What do they want
05:51us to do next? Deploy our officers as bloody traffic wardens? Stinks. I agree. I've known
05:55Dickie Bowman for years. I've never seen him look so worried. Put someone at the bank on
05:58the cover, find out what they're all up to. Good idea. Really? Why not? We are spies.
06:05Well, we're doing all we can to find John Lightwood. Mobile phone usage, credit cards,
06:11the works. Probably in Barbados now. I had special work to turn over Lightwood's flat
06:16and the bank have identified this man as Tim Pratchett. He's also a trader at Bowman's.
06:21Seems like those two are best friends. I get the impression you all hate doing this.
06:27Well, I'm with you. Enough playing at PC plods. We're putting an officer into this bank,
06:34undercover. No one pulls the wool over our eyes and no one will be told, certainly not Sir Richard
06:38Bowman. So who's going in? Me. Undercover in a bank? You have a history of swindling credit
06:46cards. I would have thought that makes you perfect for the job. Oh yeah, thanks. They're
06:50looking to replace John Lightwood. We'll make sure you get the job. Malcolm will give you a
06:54legend and a great CV and Ruth will give you a crash course in share trading. Don't worry,
06:59Danny. It's all about cheating people. Zoe, I want you in there as well. Go through records,
07:05files, anything you can lay your hands on. We're looking for records of John Lightwood
07:08transferring this money. I want to know what they're not telling us about this old family
07:11bank. Great. We can see who can make the most money. We'll make zilch. You'll be a cleaner.
07:23Buying half a yard at 75. Okay, done. Zurich silver. Selling half a yard at 82.
07:32Too high, Danny. Look at Singapore. Cripes. Okay, done.
07:38Ruth, what just happened? Danny just made 50 grand. Or he would have if we'd been really
07:43trading. How do you know all about this stuff? I was in love with a big swinging dick.
07:50That's slang for a trader. How's Danny measuring up? Oh, he's a huge talent. I was afraid of that.
08:09So what news from our cousins over the water? Washington CIA are hyperventilating about money.
08:1520 billion dollars of aid has gone missing in Moscow. American money. 20?
08:22Obviously, it's all goodwill toward Russia to get them in step on the Middle East.
08:26The money could come here. If you hear anything at all, you'll tell us.
08:31You'd gain much love from the heart of America.
08:33How could I refuse?
08:44Tim, this is Joshua Ecole. Hi. Hi. Joshua will take over John Lightwood's house.
08:52He's very hot stuff. Blazing references. Have to watch yourselves then, won't we? Indeed.
09:00Tim will help you out if you're not familiar with any of the systems. Right, Tim?
09:04Yeah. Well, I look forward to your accounts at the end of the day then, Joshua.
09:14The disgraced man's shoes. Can get you. They say Johnny Lightwood stole money.
09:20Success or theft? It's a thin line in this game. You could say that. Did you know John Lightwood
09:25well? Don't be crass. None of us know each other that well around here. Why the hell should we?
09:33Jazza, Josh at Bowman's. Yeah, great. Socking it to the natives over here.
09:41There's a GCHQ report the German government's about to manipulate the cost of German steel.
09:46They want the price up five points. No trade. First day knows. Never piss on your own shoes.
09:53True, true. This is Joshua Curley. New at Bowman's. Yeah, hi. Dusseldorf steel by 167.
10:01Thanks. Did you just squeeze the price on those options in Salomon?
10:06Yeah. Plus, he's just my 250 gram enemy. Yeah. This is Joshua Curley. New at Bowman's.
10:22Ah, Zoe. You have delivered me shredding. Delicious.
10:35How long will it take? An artist cannot be hurried. Oh, yes he can, Malcolm.
10:52Tom. Hey. It's definitely your man. He's in a right mess.
11:09They're crucifying him. Looks like. I want special branch into all the papers,
11:24all the media. No news, no press, absolutely none. Okay. Someone's sending a warning.
11:30Mess with us, we'll crucify you.
11:32Look, I've got an order to buy at 52 and 100 million. Can you improve on that? Okay. No sale,
11:43no trade. I'm Maxie Baxter. Joshua Curley. Nigerian. My dad was born in Peckham.
11:51Welcome to the animal room, Peckham boy.
12:02Singapore. The highly thing. It's Maxie. I want 50 Hang Seng at market price.
12:15Come on. Yeah, but that's what I said to you this morning.
12:21Bitch day, bitch market. I want my testicles just to keep even.
12:34How about you? Up 1.5 mil.
12:40Animal room, the trader of the day. Tradition. The drink is all on you.
12:55Great breezy evening.
12:59All right. Little girls.
13:02She is a bad woman. You want to find out how bad sleep with her? Johnny Lightwood did.
13:16What's the rest of the squeeze like around here?
13:18Promos. Girly club. Daily kill.
14:18I mean, abusing your mind and your body is sort of an art form.
14:48So light was good. That was a light.
14:52And I'd say, say no to nothing. You did a big thing.
15:02What thing?
15:05Don't know for what to say.
15:09Try me.
15:12Johnny Lightwood was up with dirty money for the bank.
15:15Tasty. Very.
15:19Money laundering these days. If you've got a bottle, why not?
15:22Yeah. I mean, this is a mother of bear markets, right? But everything's in pieces.
15:29Butterfly flatters in Tokyo. Millions are wiped off the London, New York exchanges.
15:34In times like these, you can't make money the right side of the line.
15:39Got over it.
15:41And John was well over the line.
15:45All the way to Lugano.
15:47Lugano, Switzerland. Is that where the money was going?
15:50To the bank of cooperativa.
15:54Whose name was the accountant?
15:56No idea.
16:03You're not as pissed as me.
16:04Come on. I wouldn't say that.
16:06You love it. Come on.
16:11Sorry about the early morning debrief, Danny. Needs must. Things are becoming murderous.
16:15John Lightwood was tortured to death.
16:18We must know why, but Danny, you and Zoe, watch your backs.
16:21You hear me? Sure.
16:22Right. Money laundering. Do we all understand it?
16:25Uh, you washed money clean.
16:26You see laundrettes?
16:27Right.
16:28But it's not laundrettes. It's banks.
16:30You move the money from one bank to another, and it's gone.
16:32You move the money from one bank to another around the world so fast,
16:35no one knows where it came from in the first place.
16:37And Bowman's is?
16:38One bank on the way.
16:39It can be there, then not there in a second.
16:42Don't think of cash, coins and notes.
16:45It's... it's like a cloud.
16:47It can be blown around the world.
16:49It can be split into little clouds.
16:50It can gather in a big storm in one place.
16:53It's a very beautiful thing, money.
16:57So, do we have anything on this bank in Lugano?
17:00It's a Swiss bank.
17:01God Almighty himself wouldn't get a bank statement out of them,
17:03and its computers are state-of-the-art firewalled.
17:05You can't even get a list of who works for it.
17:07They have a London office or branch?
17:09Actually, yes.
17:09They have a suite of rooms, permanently booked,
17:11at the Royal Paramount Hotel Mayfair.
17:14A hotel suite?
17:15Entertain clients discreetly.
17:18Maxie Baxter.
17:19I think she slept with John Lightwood.
17:21Can we get everything on her?
17:22Yes.
17:23Ruth, you look into this woman.
17:24Let's put an arbo on the hotel.
17:31If you've sent all the hotel security circuits in the room to turn off, then...
17:34Worry, I checked.
17:36It's a copy of the official secrets act.
17:37Please sign it.
17:38You're in peace of mind.
17:39My guests must not know.
17:43They won't.
17:45No one sees us.
17:46We go through walls.
17:55Just, uh...
17:55I don't know what you're talking about.
17:57I'm not talking about you.
17:58I'm talking about you.
17:59Just, uh...
18:01Pop through the wall.
18:02Get us a cup of tea, would you, Mel?
18:04Sorry.
18:04Got a bit carried away there.
18:07Right.
18:07Let's bug this place and go.
18:13Tom!
18:14It was Russian.
18:15What?
18:15The way they crucified him.
18:17Look.
18:18Here's a 16th century Russian icon.
18:21See?
18:22Arms straight.
18:24Feet not crossed.
18:25A Russian did this.
18:27Russia?
18:28It's right in the tradition of the Russian mafia.
18:33This was your father's room, wasn't it?
18:35I should never have got involved with you.
18:38I approached you.
18:40Remember?
18:42You were horrified, but then, uh...
18:44You said yes.
18:46For a handsome commission.
18:55This boy.
18:56Lightwood.
18:59You had no idea what he was doing?
19:01I swear to you, no.
19:03Greed must have overcome him.
19:06But in the name of God, why leave him on Hampstead Heath like that?
19:10It was a warning.
19:11To you.
19:14You genitalish, riveled, English-bent pisser.
19:20That is so much better in Russian.
19:23If only you spoke my language.
19:24You're insane.
19:26No.
19:27Just free to do what I want.
19:30The huge sums of money make anything possible.
19:35Listen, English banker.
19:38The transfer of one billion dollars was a trial.
19:42Now we have to take the risk of transferring the rest of the money out of Moscow.
19:47Nineteen billion dollars.
19:48Oh, God.
19:50The CIA, the Russian Federation of Security Services,
19:54are looking high and low for that money.
19:57It must go in the next 48 hours.
20:01Nothing will go wrong this time.
20:04When the money comes into your bank,
20:06you will personally make sure it gets to Switzerland.
20:10Understand?
20:17What is it?
20:22It's beautiful.
20:27I had no idea your father owned an icon by Dionysius.
20:3815th century.
20:39It's incredibly rare.
20:44Do you know what Dostoevsky said?
20:46Beauty will redeem the world.
20:51Please, take it as a gift.
20:56Why, thank you, Dickie.
21:01I'll see myself out.
21:25Speak.
21:26Schipkoi wants to launder the rest of the money.
21:29When does he want to do it?
21:31In 48 hours' time.
21:32Well, terrific.
21:33I don't see anything terrific about it.
21:35This time we're going to make it work.
21:37It's too dangerous.
21:38Same as before.
21:40Who's going to handle the money this time?
21:41I don't know.
21:43God, think.
21:48All right, I will.
21:49No, you must be deniable in this.
21:51Look, I am very unhappy.
21:54I want to talk to the Chancellor.
21:55This matter is too sensitive for the Chancellor to be involved in directly.
21:58But if it goes wrong again...
21:59It's Richard.
22:03We are all aware of the risk you're taking for the government.
22:06I'm not taking it for the government.
22:09I'm taking it for the country.
22:11Yes, of course.
22:14Just find someone to do it.
22:16It's Richard.
22:17So, what do we have?
22:19An amazing thing.
22:22Richard Bowman opened an account for John Lightwood
22:24with an opening balance of 500,000 pounds
22:26the day the one billion dollars went missing.
22:28A bonus?
22:29Nope.
22:30Bonuses are paid to employees at the end of the year.
22:32This was opened directly by Sir Richard
22:34with a copy of the account sent to Lightwood.
22:35And clearly, someone destroyed any record of it.
22:38Or thought they had.
22:39I don't think so.
22:40I don't think so.
22:41I don't think so.
22:42I don't think so.
22:42I don't think so.
22:43I don't think so.
22:44I don't think so.
22:44I don't think so.
22:45I don't think so.
22:45I don't think so.
22:46Until our Leonardo of the dustbins got hold of it.
22:49Oh, thank you, Harry.
22:51So, what does this mean?
22:52John Lightwood was paid to steal from the bank.
22:55We need to know more.
22:57Tell Danny to get friendly with the maxi girl.
22:59As friendly as it takes.
23:08The carrot and coriander cocktail.
23:11They say back in the 80s,
23:12young city bloods like us used to drink
23:14two bottles of champagne for lunch.
23:16Heroic days.
23:18Yeah, but where are all the young bloods now?
23:20In alky clinics.
23:21Though some get away with it still.
23:23Like John Lightwood.
23:26Really?
23:29And what is it you think he got away with?
23:31Well, the jungle drums say he nicked a billion dollars.
23:34Now, there's a true modern hero.
23:37He was a friend of yours, wasn't he?
23:39Maybe.
23:44What are you saying?
23:46Do you want to try what he did?
23:48Well, you know this male thing we have.
23:51Recklessness.
23:52I don't think that's just a male thing.
23:56Tim said you were a bad woman.
23:59Do you think he's right?
24:01Said there was a way I could find out.
24:03You going to try it?
24:06Would I be allowed?
24:08That depends on the strength of your market penetration.
24:13Of course.
24:14Does Downing Street want to know what is going on in this bank or not?
24:16Downing Street does not want you accusing a man as Sir Richard Bowman's important
24:19of laundering Russian mafia money.
24:21Tom, close the bloody door.
24:22You have exceeded your remit.
24:23Oh, remit?
24:24You put a mole in the bank.
24:25The only hope of recovering the stolen money is to find out what's been going on at Bowman's.
24:28You're interfering with matters that are not your concern.
24:31You are to withdraw your officer from this operation.
24:33Are you giving us orders?
24:34Absolutely.
24:35And who are you to do that?
24:38Are you from the Joint Intelligence Committee?
24:39No.
24:40Are you a member of the government?
24:41No.
24:42Did someone elect you?
24:43No.
24:43Are you even a real civil servant?
24:45No. So what are you?
24:48Take this seriously, gentlemen.
24:52Very seriously.
25:06Harry, how come our gremlin in Downing Street knows that Danny's undercover?
25:09If there is a leak in this department, we must plug it now.
25:14Colin.
25:29I'm gonna have to trust you.
25:31I just have to take that leap in the dark.
25:34What do you mean?
25:36Someone has been passing on the details of the bank operation.
25:39I want you to monitor all the computers on the grid.
25:43You want me to snitch?
25:46I don't want to do that, Tom.
25:49This job asks difficult things of us sometimes, Colin.
26:43I suppose you have evidence.
27:06Computer traffic from your station, yes.
27:09You coded it good.
27:10Colin uncoded it good.
27:12You betrayed us.
27:14MI5 is a government department.
27:17I only told Downing Street what you were doing.
27:21The government can't betray itself to itself, can it?
27:23Don't be naive, Ruth.
27:25You know exactly what's going on here.
27:26GCHQ planted you on us.
27:30Tom, I so much wanted to join MI5.
27:35To be a real spy.
27:38They said I could have the transfer if...
27:40Very occasionally, I reported what you were doing.
27:43I mean, this is the first time I've done it.
27:45You reported directly to Amanda Rowe?
27:51Well, now you're a classic double agent.
27:55How does real spying feel?
27:59Horrible thing is, it's rather exciting.
28:05Ruth, I've got two officers on the line.
28:09I've got two officers in the field at high risk.
28:12You want to get Danny or Zoe crucified on Hampstead Heath?
28:14Don't.
28:20You'll have to tell Harry.
28:23I'm so bloody good at this job.
28:25You know I am.
28:30Well, that's that then.
28:34Of course, double agents can be turned.
28:38Oh, Tom.
28:42You're on probation.
28:44Thank you.
28:52Look, no, it's not a thing I should have done.
28:55As a banker, I'm ashamed of myself.
28:56I'm sorry.
28:57I'm sorry.
28:58I'm sorry.
28:58I'm sorry.
28:59I'm sorry.
29:00I'm sorry.
29:01I'm sorry.
29:02I'm sorry.
29:02I'm sorry.
29:03I'm ashamed of myself.
29:04Why, what have you done?
29:06I booked the hotel room.
29:11Well, uh...
29:13You don't mind?
29:16No, I love it.
29:18Is it...
29:18Around the corner, back there.
29:21Oh, you're not thinking Greece, Italy, am I?
29:24Oh, yes, I am.
29:25Oh, OK.
29:26Shall we?
29:28Say, uh, the Royal Paramount.
29:30Oh, my gosh.
29:31Of course.
29:32But if you don't like it.
29:33Oh, no, no, no, no.
29:34I like it.
29:54OK.
29:55I'm glad you like it.
29:56Oh, and there is this.
30:01Oh, no.
30:03Oh, no.
30:14How dare you put an oppo team on me?
30:16We rigged that room to see what we could get.
30:18Well, I hope you all had a good gulp.
30:20Oh, Zoe.
30:24I was on oppo duty.
30:27Colin.
30:33You didn't sign in.
30:34You were seeing this man.
30:35I'm not the first to do that, am I?
30:36Zoe, he took you to a suite of rooms used by a Swiss bank.
30:38The same bank the laundered money was destined for.
30:42Oh, please.
30:43God, no.
30:45Oh, you know what's going to have to happen next, don't you?
30:48What?
30:50What, are you going to tell me I can carry on sleeping with him if I inform on him?
30:56I'm sorry, Zoe.
30:56I have to tell you.
30:58He's married.
31:01He's not.
31:02Her name's Maria.
31:04She's the daughter of the Italian finance minister, Antonio Costino.
31:08Your man married very advantageously.
31:11For God's sake, Zoe, don't even look him up.
31:25I...
31:27I just...
31:28I just wanted a little bit of space just for...
31:32just my own life, you know?
31:48I will get Colin to lose that section of the tape and I will shut him up.
31:54But we need to know if this man is involved.
32:01Okay.
32:02Okay?
32:12Tom, something wonderful.
32:18Death certificate.
32:19Maxime Anne Baxter died in Victoria Gardens, Farnham Surrey, 31st of March, 1979, aged three months.
32:27Birth certificate.
32:28Maxime Anne Baxter, born Victoria Gardens, Farnham, Surrey, 31st of December, 1978.
32:33This birth certificate used to get a minor's British passport in 1990.
32:37My God.
32:38What about, uh, schools?
32:40On her CV from the bank.
32:41Enrolled at, uh, Sail Hill Boarding School, aged 13.
32:45Good place for the oddball girl.
32:46And before that, the school she was meant to have gone to, Farnham Park, has no record of her.
32:50And there are no records at all.
32:51Doctors, anything before 1990.
32:54So she suddenly appeared in London with a complete legend made for her.
32:56It's a puzzle, isn't it?
32:58Ruth, great work.
33:00Tom, I'm so glad you think so.
33:02Come with me.
33:12A wild guess.
33:13Try me.
33:14Daughter of a powerful man.
33:17Once a safe in England.
33:18Has the clout to get her a new identity in 1990, when the Soviet Union was collapsing.
33:22Ex-KGB turned businessman.
33:24I'm beginning to see him in the shadows, aren't you?
33:28So, can we set up a trap for this girl?
33:32All right, but the budget won't run to the Docklands Shag Pad of Danny's dreams.
33:36His flat will have to do.
33:37Get a team over there to erase Danny's identity and tart it up.
33:41So, uh, we walk around to the hotel?
33:45My lunchtime's almost over, actually.
33:47Better get back.
33:48But lunchtime was your idea.
33:55Emma, have I offended you?
33:59No.
34:01I don't want to see you anymore.
34:05What?
34:07It's because of work.
34:10Work?
34:11You're a banker and, uh, we're doing some work with a bank.
34:17So?
34:19So, there's a conflict of interest.
34:22Dear God, you're talking like some middle-aged bureaucrat.
34:24I can't have my work compromised.
34:30I'm very ambitious.
34:32I love my work.
34:34So, it's just this thing I've got.
34:36No, Emma, don't do this.
34:55Who's DiCarlo Franceschini?
34:59Who are you?
35:00We work for a government department.
35:02Why should I believe you?
35:03You could be common muggers.
35:06Your father, Alberto Franceschini, was born in Milan.
35:08Your mother, Margarita, maiden name Polini, is Italian-Swiss.
35:20What is this about?
35:21One billion dollars was stolen from a British bank.
35:24The money was placed in an account in the bank you work for.
35:27We want the name of its user.
35:29How about the secret name of God as well?
35:31We believe the men who stole the money are major criminals.
35:33They kill.
35:34Look, for a bank, money is morally neutral.
35:38Mr. Franceschini, think very carefully about the situation you're in here.
35:43The situation is, I'm sitting in a bank and I'm being robbed.
35:47Think very carefully about the situation you're in here.
35:50The situation is, I'm sitting as a free man in a pub in every country.
36:08You wish your wife to receive copies of these in the post?
36:11Or we could email them to her and to her father.
36:14You realize for the Swiss,
36:17a banker's confidence is as binding as that of a doctor or a priest.
36:31The account is held in the name of Viktor Shvetko.
36:33Why did you allow us to come into this
36:45without knowing that one of the most powerful psychopaths in the Russian mafia was involved?
36:53Did you know he has an agent working in your bank?
36:59Oh no, not Maxine Baxter.
37:02She's one of our best.
37:04Birth certificates, passports, everything's false.
37:06We believe she's Viktor Shvetko's daughter.
37:09Dear God.
37:11Now, I have two officers in the field.
37:13One of them is going to meet this woman in two hours' time.
37:16So, we must know, why is Bowman's bank involved with this money?
37:24Governor, explain.
37:28I have Downing Street's authorization.
37:32When the $20 billion of aid went missing in Moscow,
37:37Viktor Shvetko approached Sir Richard.
37:39Would he be interested in handling a rather large sum of money very quickly?
37:43When I reported Shvetko's approach to MI6,
37:46they asked me to do what Shvetko wanted.
37:48Sting him.
37:50Yes.
37:51Steal the money from him.
37:53I instructed John Lightwood to move the $1 billion into Shvetko's Swiss account.
37:59That was a trial run.
38:02Unfortunately, Mr Lightwood stole it.
38:06And Shvetko found him.
38:09Yes.
38:11What about the other $19 billion?
38:13Shvetko is still going to try to launder it.
38:15He believes I am his creature.
38:18He thinks I can be used.
38:21You do realize governmental proximity cannot be acknowledged?
38:24You mean the British Treasury must not be seen to be anywhere near laundered money?
38:27That is what I said.
38:28This will be yellow flag, top secret all the way.
38:31Have no fear.
38:32An incredibly brave and dangerous game, Dickie.
38:36Nature intended me to sit behind a desk balancing books,
38:42not go double-crossing Russian gangsters.
38:44All the more credit to you.
38:46Excuse me.
38:48I must concentrate.
38:56The idea was, and is, to steal the money back.
39:04The idea was to steal the money back.
39:07And then the idea was to steal the money back.
39:09Yes.
39:10The idea was, and is, to steal the money back.
39:15For the Americans?
39:25Sir Richard?
39:27Dickie? I like calling you by your familiar name.
39:31We are close to doing a famous thing, a famous theft.
39:34You have no choice but to move the money.
39:41Do you understand?
39:43Yes, I understand.
39:59Is there something you're still not telling us?
40:02I can assure you.
40:04Governor!
40:06Dickie!
40:11Schmidt boy, he's transferred the rest of the money from Moscow.
40:20He's had a stroke.
40:22Account number 59987495.
40:41The money will only be at the bank for a few minutes.
40:44Your man must have heard it at once.
40:46I know exactly what my man must do, and at what risk.
40:56Right.
40:58You look like a man getting a tip.
41:00Something like that. Give me the numbers.
41:025-9-9-8-7-4-3-2-1.
41:094-9-5.
41:12Want me to repeat that?
41:14Don't bother.
41:35What did you do just then?
41:37What do you mean?
41:39Are you transferring something in the main foreign account?
41:42No, just taking a look.
41:45Take 5.
42:01There's a problem.
42:03Speak.
42:04Has the money reached Lugano?
42:06Have you been advised?
42:07No.
42:09It's happened again.
42:10All right, keep calm, calm.
42:12Listen to me.
42:14Do you know who is responsible?
42:17I think so.
42:19Yes.
42:20Right.
42:21Stay with him. Do anything he wants to know.
42:23But get him to tell you where the money is.
42:25Maxim, anything.
42:28Do what I say.
42:37I...
42:42I have just nicked 19 billion dollars.
42:45Danny.
42:46Wow, what an amazing experience.
42:47Danny, can I just... Can you just concentrate?
42:49What?
42:50Are you with me?
42:52Your lady friend is the daughter of a Russian hood called Victor Shvitkoi.
42:56He killed John Lightwood.
43:02What are Tom's orders?
43:04Our lovely flat now has all the trappings of a luxury banker's pad.
43:08Can't wait.
43:10Whatever you do, stay with Maxi.
43:13Do whatever you have to, to find out where her father is.
43:15And...
43:17And be careful, Danny.
43:19Hope there's good booze in the fridge.
43:22I'll do it tonight.
43:34Thank you.
43:56Ready?
43:57That's out of the way.
43:59Yes, please.
44:05They're leaving.
44:06Good, Zoe. Go after them.
44:28They're on their way. Black London cab.
44:31I've got a signal.
44:33Are we ready with the flat?
44:34All concurrent surveillance systems are operational.
44:36Colin, when the word yes will do, use it, right?
44:40Yes.
44:42Let's try and stay on top of this, shall we?
45:00Come on, Danny.
45:04Come on.
45:18Thought you'd be more upscale than this.
45:20Does me. I'm never here.
45:22Drinkies?
45:23Please.
45:25Ah. Shampoo.
45:34What are we celebrating?
45:36I don't know if I should tell you.
45:39I've got some unbelievably hot info.
45:42What?
45:44You wouldn't believe it.
45:46Jeez, we're OK.
45:49We're OK.
45:52Try me.
45:54Good old Sir Richard Bowman's family bank is laundering dirty money.
45:59Really?
46:01And I've nicked it.
46:04You've what?
46:06It was on its way from Moscow to Lugano through Bowman,
46:08so I pushed it into a little account of my own.
46:10Well, a very big account, no?
46:12How much?
46:1419 billion slacks.
46:17This is very risky.
46:19He's trying to hook her.
46:21Isn't that what John Lightwood did?
46:23Lightwood?
46:25Disappeared, hasn't he?
46:28Disappeared, hasn't he?
46:38I don't know if you're a brilliant thief or a fool or what.
46:42Brilliant thief.
46:44I know a celebrating move.
46:58Where's the bedroom?
47:04I do love a corny man.
47:13I mean, I'm not actually stealing.
47:16No.
47:18I want to return it to its rightful owner.
47:20For a little commission.
47:22Just two mil. I mean, I'm not greedy.
47:25No. A little puritan, aren't you?
47:29Trouble is, I have to find the rightful owner.
47:33Yes, you do, don't you?
47:37Can you help me with it?
47:39What makes you ask that?
47:42Instinct.
47:46What happened to that champagne?
47:51I'll be right back.
47:55Come on.
47:57Come on.
47:59Come on.
48:25I think she's...
48:27Hold. Everyone hold.
48:37I'm going.
48:39I've left my inhaler back home.
48:41Sorry, I'll have to go.
48:43Shall we lift her?
48:45Wait.
48:46I'll come with you.
48:48Will you now?
48:50What do we do?
48:52Danny will be at serious risk.
48:54Yes. Thank you.
48:57Thank you.
49:19You've done the place up, have you?
49:21It's a real bolt hole.
49:23I've got it for a song.
49:26Close down in the cold. Come in.
49:33Ow!
49:36So...
49:38Mr. Daniel Hunter.
49:43My daughter tells me she thinks you are very beautiful.
49:47I don't think so.
49:50No?
49:52Well, if I put your eyes out,
49:55you wouldn't have to look at your face in the mirror.
50:00Look, I'll do you a deal.
50:02Excellent.
50:03This is the deal I want.
50:05Listen.
50:07You have some money of mine
50:09in an account at the Bank of Bowmans & Company.
50:13Kindly tell me the codes,
50:17the number of the account,
50:19so I can enter the details into this computer
50:21and transfer the money.
50:24Huh?
50:32Listen.
50:34My colleague
50:36is holding
50:38a knitting mirror
50:40and he will now put it
50:43straight through the cornea of your eye
50:47into the optic nerve.
50:51I found this in his clothes.
50:53What?
50:56It's toothpick.
50:58That's what I thought.
50:59I see, Victor.
51:00Tracker equipment's come in a lot since you were in the KGB.
51:18Hello?
51:20Yes, I can hear you now.
51:22Please let me know.
51:24Yes, Victor.
51:43The Chancellor of the Exchequer 2 has asked me to thank you.
51:46It was a highly satisfactory outcome.
51:49Many thanks.
51:51I do hope your hearing's better.
51:54Sorry, what?
51:57Sorry.
52:00Well, I shall leave you to your internal debrief.
52:03Certainly.
52:05After the excitement, the paperwork.
52:07Written statements all round,
52:09then Tom and I will do the personal debriefing.
52:11Excuse me.
52:17What about the money?
52:19What?
52:20The 19 billion dollars.
52:21All of what? 13 billion pounds.
52:23What happens to it?
52:25The right thing.
52:32Funny you were talking about money the other day.
52:34No, you were talking about money.
52:36Our economics analyst at the embassy has gone insane.
52:38That's nasty for him.
52:40What's freaking him out is a very strong rumor.
52:44Rumor being?
52:46Being that the British treasury found a huge sum
52:48to improve the National Health Service, 13 billion pounds.
52:51There's also a report from Moscow,
52:53bloodletting amongst the mafia.
52:5520 billion dollars has disappeared in London.
52:57World trade organization money, American money.
53:00Rumors, reports.
53:02Yeah.
53:03Take a brave thief to steal from the Russian mob.
53:06What will the American government do?
53:08Give them another 20 billion.
53:10I mean, we can't be seen to be losing money like that.
53:13No, no.
53:20You did a great service to the country.
53:23You confronted a most dangerous man
53:26and did so with great courage.
53:31We have recovered this.
53:35We believe it belongs to you.
53:40Thank you.
