1 Has your luck changed? Some times good, sometimes bad.
What happened? The bracelets happened.
Get the second bracelet to me and I will remove yours.
Help me fight back.
Eve! You need to help me get the other bracelet back.
It's going to destroy you, Harry And it's going to be spectacular.
250,000.
As agreed.
[man.]
Armed police! Go! Go! Stay where you are! Go, go! Lazami, this way.
Armed police! Don't move! Put your hands up! Turn! Fortune is a fickle friend Here today and then gone again Good time girl, when it hurts Is nowhere to be found Ha.

Ha.
A, she's laughing In your face When you think that you've got it made Patient with your life now Careful with your pride Hold tight This could be a wild ride It could be a late night Who is the underdog who's gonna be the lucky one? [phone ringing.]
- Sir.
- I need to take that.
All right.
Sir well armed response killed my contact.
I had to take out the target in self-defence, during which time his right-hand man made off with the heroin.
Oh, I wouldn't say that We secured the money, made a couple of arrests and took out a drug lord.
I'd call that a result.
I'm glad you agree.
Dick.
After you put my life in danger, I went into hiding.
Hiding? You were all over Facebook, living it up in Magaluf.
My business suffered, my regulars deserted me.
Vice are breathing down my neck.
Can you believe this? Yes, actually, considering you're running a brothel here.
It's all I know.
Stick! Bust.
[soft laugh.]
[Kalim sighs.]
Go home, Harry.
I'm saying this as a friend.
You look like crap and you're kinda lowering the tone.
In here? Is that even possible? No, Kalim.
Thank you.
Oh, by the way Any word on the Snake Hands? Yeah, there's movement.
Something big's going down.
[man.]
This will do just fine.
Get me Samuel.
[phone ringing.]
Lo Dau.
- Samuel.
- You're in town, already? I thought I'd surprise you, my son.
See for myself what you've been up to.
Perfect timing.
The man who wears the bracelet is about to die.
Idriz Lazami.
Albanian, 48, major player.
Shot in self-defence by an MI6 undercover agent when a drug bust got out of hand.
Two Albanians arrested, made off with a heroin stash estimated street value 800k.
Okay, I'll check witness statements.
See if we got a description.
Thanks.
And this guy stupid enough to wave a gun at Armed Response.
No ideas yet.
He's a Snake Hand.
I just need to make a call and we're done here.
So, what are we doing here? Tai Jing's just arrived, the Wu Chi Dragon Head.
He's staying here.
You can return the lost heroin? Here you are The Albanian who fled the scene has been IDed as Edon Pasha.
One of our dead crime lord's right-hand men.
I suppose that intel came from MI6.
Of course, it's their drugs bust.
What's going on, ma'am? Did you call Blake? Hello.
So, who's gonna bring me up to speed? Apology accepted, Chohan.
- [Tai Jing.]
Samuel.
- Lo Dau.
[speaking Cantonese.]
Why are we standing on ceremony? This is meant to be a celebration.
Come here, son.
MI6 shootout, a dead Snake Hand, and a shitload of missing heroin.
It's got to be Blake.
- You heard from him recently? - No, nothing.
Well My guess is he staged the ambush to wipe out the competition.
He is good, give you that.
Not helpful, DC Orwell.
That woman, slim, blonde, wearing black came out the back after gunfire was heard Yes, escaped on a motorbike.
That helpful, ma'am? [Uri.]
Well, hello, Eve Alexandri.
Kang refuses to touch British tea.
[laughs.]
Tomorrow, I'll take you to the finest restaurant in all of London, Uncle Kang.
And I will bring you a bracelet.
Well done, son.
[Cantonese.]
Losing our heroin base, we had to sell off cheap and fast? Police circling, when the Wu Chi should remain unseen The boy knows his failings.
A minor setback.
This should cover the drugs we lost in Clerkenwell.
We're still in the game.
As for the police, I have them under control.
Harry Clayton is still a wanted man.
Clayton, who wears the other bracelet.
It is darker? Almost black.
His time and luck is running out.
We have an official investigation following the MI6 lead into the missing drugs.
I'll track down Edon Pasha.
Then we run our own investigation into Blake's involvement.
I'll follow up some leads my end.
Right! you're still a person of interest, so effectively a ghost cop.
We meet away from MIS.
Blake's got eyes everywhere.
Blake got the advantage by putting us against each other.
One thing he won't have bargained for we're finally on the same side.
- Proper dream team, eh? - Aren't we just? Yes, a shade darker, definitely.
Be vigilant, Harry.
Now Blake has Eve by his side to remove your bracelet He wishes to turn your luck against you.
How long have I got? Tai Jing, the head of the Wu Chi, is already in London Which suggests your days are numbered.
Tai Jing is Blake's boss.
Tai Jing is more than just Blake's boss, Harry.
He's his adoptive father.
Took him in after his parents were killed.
Tai Jing groomed the boy in the ways of the Wu Chi and now the son will win his father's war.
Not while I'm still standing.
My luck hasn't given up on me yet.
I See a man no longer in control.
I see a woman who's about to pay arm and a leg for a cup of tea.
Is it Blake, you see? No I see you.
Act fast, my friend.
The flame burns brightest before it dies.
[Suri.]
What's so urgent? What! I just thought we'd have a drink, celebrate the team getting back together.
I came all the way over here for that? Yeah, and Rich could do with cheering up.
Go on Come on, what's it gonna take ou two crazy kids back together? Well I only lied to protect Harry.
I wanted the truth to protect Harry.
So it's my fault? - Yep.
I'd say.
- Pretty much.
Ok, why don't we be just friends while all this is going on? All right.
Friends will do, for now.
According to the database, Idriz Lazami owns this café, which Edon Pasha manages.
Yeah.
- Money laundering.
- Exactly.
I'll take the back.
Mr.
Pasha, DI Chohan.
Oi! [groans.]
In the Triads, the blue lantern at the bottom - Hmm - The next up is the red pole.
Once I'm initiated Then it's the big one Deputy Mountain Master.
Well, who wants to be the deputy when you can be the real mountain thingy? I'm not Chinese, am I? - Hmm - Deputy's cool.
Stick with me, you'll get perks.
What about some perks right now? - [giggles.]
- Nah It's not professional, Aleesh.
Tell you what Get me another drink and then you can show me your red pole.
[she laughs.]
Idriz Lazami Albanian drug lord, owns your café.
Never met the owner.
Falling off the sky enough, this guy you've never met was captured on CCTV yesterday Print Works, he was going in there to sell a stash of heroin followed closely by you.
He was shot dead.
No heroin was found at the scene, so - you must have taken it.
- I didn't take it.
If I talk, the Triads will come for me.
Speaking of which, why do business with the Triads anyway? You have been killing each other for years.
The big man said he would buy from us.
- The big man? - He Killed my boss to get the drugs.
- Was it Blake? Tall, blue eyes - Yeah.
Then he threw them to some woman, blonde hair, biker gear [Edon sighs.]
I want to do a deal and I want protection.
[man.]
Aleesh! Babe? Are you okay? Aleesha! Aleesha.
Aleesha, look Aleesha, breathe.
Aleesha Blythe, just 17, ingested heroin, mixed with Fentanyl, which is ten times deadlier.
This wasn't an accident, this was deliberate.
Her boyfriend, Andy Lewis, 18, called emergency services on his mobile.
Service Provider shows he called a money exchange in Green Lanes after she died.
[phone rings.]
Police are talking to him at High Green Station now.
Ma'am, the latest casualties.
Yeah? Three more deaths, Camden, Islington and Kings Cross.
Thank you.
Three more deaths, same symptoms.
Kings Cross, Islington and Camden Town.
Edon Pasha's agreed to wear a wire for us so we can see who he contacts.
He said the Snake Hands were expecting a surprise.
This is it.
We have to get these drugs off the streets, Who knows how many more will die? [Gray.]
So, what do we do? The Albanians poisoned the drugs to ruin the Wu Chi's reputation.
Blake will be desperate to recover the best he can.
So, this is is our chance, don't you see? To do what? Well, expose Blake's lies.
You know, get evidence that he and the Wu Chi are benefiting personally from selling these drugs.
How do we do that? We set up a sting.
Offer to buy the bad batch off them.
You Know, show MI6 who he really is.
Great, I'm sure the Home Office will just cough up a couple of hundred grand, no questions asked.
How'd you planned on robbing a bank? I'll get the money.
- [croupier.]
No more bets please.
- Why here? - Thought we were meeting in a pub.
- No, it's a work thing.
I need money to entrap Blake.
Don't worry, I'm up for it [croupier.]
31, black.
[shouts.]
- [sighs.]
- I'll get a drink.
- [croupier.]
Well done.
- Thank you.
Okay.
I mean, she's funny she is beautiful sexy, but without trying to be.
[roulette ball.]
- [croupier.]
Zero.
- Shit.
And she's smart.
Did I say she's smart? Yeah.
[Rich.]
Ah! And we complement each other.
Yeah, she's serious.
All right, I'm a bit more light-hearted.
She is so ambitious I'm pretty workshy Can't see where it went wrong.
You're not answering your phone, Harry.
Would I be worried? I've got better things to do than see you self-destruct.
O, Rich is wandering around here like a lost puppy, somewhere.
I miss her so so much.
[croupier.]
36, red.
[Harry.]
Ah Jesus.
[boat horn.]
Are you okay? You sounded upset.
I'm fine, never better.
So, Rich has moved on And so have I.
So - Are you sure you're okay? - I'm fine Let's do shots.
- [she laughs.]
- Whoa.
Steady.
Steady.
Steady Orwell.
Good old reliable Orwell With your broad shoulders and your sad eyes.
[she sighs.]
Thanks I think.
You have always been there.
Don't you want to? Not like this.
I think we need to get you home.
Come on.
Someone should hang a sign round his neck saying, "Please look after this bear.
" Where's Suri? You're not with her? - Suri was here? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Maybe she's left.
Maybe it's time to call it a night.
- Looks like it.
- So You must be the fun brother? I have my moments.
There's a poker game nearby.
I hate being told what's good for me.
I heard it even more when they're right.
Thanks, anyway.
If ever you change your mind.
Oh, London's finest, huh? It's like dining in a morgue.
- [inaudible.]
- Father.
The Wu Chi were formed to seek out and destroy the instruments of ill fortune that have corrupted the harmony of the world.
I give you the first bracelet.
What is this, a game show? He needs a model to showcase the prize? She's not a model.
She's much more than that.
Eve is a Torch.
No, wait.
She's with us now.
She will help us remove the second bracelet.
Can she be trusted? Maybe she's working with Madam Cheung.
You need me.
You have no choice but to trust me.
Just as I had no choice when I became a Torch.
I've made mistakes I want to put that right.
And how will you do that? By removing the bracelet from Harry Clayton's wrist.
It may generate more bad luck than good, but it still has power.
And that makes him a threat.
Soon we will fulfil our destiny.
[Tai Jing.]
You take your father for a fool? I've been informed, the poisoned drugs, five dead people the police circling I don't understand.
I've done everything you've asked of me.
Times change.
We are a business empire, not relic hunters.
You insult the traditions of our founding fathers.
Your obsession with the bracelets, it led you to carelessness! [sighs.]
How much this time? Don't ask.
- Suppose you could see a way to - No, no, no, no, no, no You already owe me, Harry.
Ever since that things been on the fritz, you started gambling again.
Why? I don't know.
I don't know.
A test maybe? You know, because this stops functioning, so do I.
- [doorbell rings.]
- You can't die on me, bro.
Not at least until you pay me back.
How much was it again, a tenner, I think? Try ten grand.
Who said you could call me bro? Look, just keep me posted.
Thanks.
Death toll is now eight.
Did you get the money? - No.
But I will by tonight.
- [doorbell.]
Is that mine? Don't worry it is all in hand.
You're a life saver.
Did I do anything stupid last night? No.
No, you were fine.
All good.
You all right? Oh, Rich, how narcissistic Oh, no, those are my spare keys.
I have his wee face on there so I know where I'm going.
How many people's spare keys do you have? You'd be surprised.
Sir! forgive me for asking the obvious, but how do we convince the Triads to sell to us? I mean, we are just us.
I know just the man.
What if I said I could get Vice off your back? - What's the catch? - I need a favour It's a one-off, someone to pose as a heroin fixer.
What would I know about that? Hmm.
All I know about this place being an illicit knocking shop? Look you'll be protected by the police every step of the way.
You do this one thing for me, Vice will never bother you again.
I promise.
[sighs.]
Okay, we have a deal.
As long as it's nothing to do with those psycho Snake Hands.
That's awkward.
I nearly took a bullet for you, do you remember? Yeah, I do.
It's a shame he missed.
[speaking Albanian.]
[screaming.]
[screams.]
[car starts.]
[police-radio chatter.]
Hi.
Edon Pasha's been shot dead in front of his wife.
- [Harry.]
Shit.
- Drive-by.
That's got to have been the Wu Chi, following Blake's orders.
He is out of control.
Whatever you are doing, you'd better do it fast.
I'm on it.
Gotta go.
Thank you for agreeing to meet me at such short notice.
I'm looking to buy supply of heroin for my client.
I flew in from France this morning to find that my usual vendor let me down.
I'm due to fly back tonight.
Search me.
Be as thorough as you want.
And a friend pointed me in your direction.
Who's this friend? Mickey Doyle.
A supplier let him down, so you can see I'm keen not to let my client down.
[Eve.]
Okay.
Do you have cash? So? 5:00pm tonight, ferry terminal.
Yeah, me and her boss.
- Her? - Ha! Talk about fit, blonde, slim, green eyes, leathers, posh Ha! Gave the old man tingles But we agreed 250k.
You've got that, right? - Yeah, of course.
- Just call Vice like you promised.
Okay Something wrong? I just I haven't heard from you in a while.
Should we be seen talking? Any leads on Harry Clayton? Nothing on Clayton, but any day now.
Eve Alexandri? We think she drowned.
You should never presume anything, Elsa.
You must be losing your touch.
I've had a lot to process recently.
Seem to have a turf war on our hands, Triads versus Albanians.
You wouldn't know anything about that, would you? You look tired.
Can't be easy rattling around that empty house.
Unable to sleep.
I knew you'd change your mind.
How come? Takes a deviant to know one.
See your five hundred, raise you two thousand.
Call.
You okay? Not really.
I just saw Blake.
I think he suspects.
I think he's been following me.
He mentioned about me living alone.
Arry has secured this drug deal.
If you want to back out It's not exactly by the books? No, eight people dead already.
Hat copper walks away from that? The buyer I did some checks.
Good work.
Take it, if you need it.
They don't deserve to criticise you.
Look at them, sat on their arses drinking tea, and moaning about money.
They're more WI than Wu Chi.
Your father spoke of your obsession with bracelets like it was a weakness.
Only you and I truly understand the damage they wreak.
They should follow your lead.
I see you fighting for the cause.
Right.
That's me, guys.
I've got what I came for.
Really? You're not going already, are you? Okay.
I let dogs waterfront, 5:00 pm, hmm.
Good.
I will do the deal.
But the client asked for me.
Just me.
Our business has been erratic for some time.
Your search for the bracelets is has exhausted you.
Destroying the bracelets our fundamental reason for being.
What use are the bracelets if our reputation is shot? Since when The profit become the Wu Chi priority? When the winds of change blow some people build walls, others build windmills.
- At least let me come with you.
- No, I forbid it.
Leave it to me.
It'll be like old times.
You can come and identify the client.
No.
Not without me.
[Harry.]
Shit! [relieved sigh.]
Wait! Wait! Deal.
All's fair in love, war and poker.
I'm not a complete bitch.
I'll give you till tomorrow morning to get the cash for these.
[Gray.]
Where's your mediator? We are not using him, it's too risky, I'll do it.
But Blake knows you.
[Suri.]
Where's the money Harry, did you gamble it away? You're gonna walk in there with no money? This is a suicide mission.
If I don't, more people will die, okay? If that's what it takes This was our one chance.
I trusted you, Clayton.
Listen, all I need to do is to get Blake on camera, tie him to the bad drugs, expose him as a liar to MI6.
It's a risk worth taking.
It's a bit kamikaze but We'll have you covered, Harry.
Blake goes for his gun, I'll have your back.
I know you will, big man.
When they arrive, I'll go out front with the bag.
Steve have my back, you two, stick by me.
- Are you getting picture? - [Gray.]
I am now.
Hi, Daisy, it's your dad Just wanted to call to say that I'm so proud of you, you know that? Even though I can't be with you right now, I miss you every day.
I love you more than anything.
Never forget that.
Take care of your mum Speak soon.
Bye, love.
Limo's arriving.
Shit.
Shit! It's not Blake.
I was expecting Mr Blake.
I'm Mr Blake's superior.
I'm overseeing this deal.
That's not what we agreed.
If you could hand over the money.
I'll hand over the money when I see the heroin.
Wire! Lo dau! [speaks Cantonese.]
Blake! We're on him! Eve [machine-gunfire.]
Down! [Harry.]
Eve! Listen, I'm sorry I didn't save you, that I let Blake get to you.
He didn't get to me.
Harry, I chose this.
You know, you and Blake, you're not that different, you're both victims of the bracelets' curse.
He just wants to release us from it all.
What, by killing me? Aren't you already dying? - Look at that thing - We can reverse this.
Get the second bracelet to Madame Cheung, your leader.
- Get our lives back.
- No! I'm sorry that I shackled you.
But I can't return the bracelet, Torch will inherit the burden.
We have to end this, we have to break the chain.
You want me dead? Shoot me now.
You're on Blake's side, prove it, shoot me.
Can be so much easier if I hated you.
I won't kill you.
You have to sacrifice your life to set us all free.
It's the only way we can end this.
I lost everything because of this! But I never thought I'd lose you.
Goodbye, Harry.
[motorcycle engine.]
[Orwell.]
Suri, down 300k of spiked heroin.
At least it's off the streets.
Blake's still out there.
Yeah, but look at this, Harry.
[gunshots on video.]
No enemy to blame, just police.
[Gray.]
Talk your way out of that one, Blake.
Attempted murder of a policeman.
Even MI6 won't wear that.
- Jesus.
- [phone ringing.]
It's good work.
Even you, Clayton.
Rich.
What does he want? He cares about you.
He didn't care much last night.
All he did was talk about you.
Give him a chance.
[sighs.]
[police sirens.]
Welcome, daughter of the Wu Chi.
And thank you, Samuel, for saving us today.
A father teaches his son.
The son teaches his father.
And I'd like to thank Tai Jing for showing me the light.
What really matters to the Wu Chi.
[screams.]
Samuel No.
You betrayed principles of the Wu Chi.
You undermined its values succumbed to greed money [father.]
No.
- All the things we fight against.
- [slashes throat.]
You okay? I've been thinking about everything.
I don't want to lose you, Suribear.
If you keep calling me that, you will.
[laughs.]
Four hours till dawn.
Tick, tock [roulette ball clatters.]
