So, Miss Taylor...
..let's start from the beginning, shall we?
ALARM BLARES
I'd only been at work a few minutes
when the alarm started going off.
And then there was smoke everywhere,
people were running in all directions.
ALARM CONTINUES, PHONE RINGING
Emergency, which service?
There's a fire at Hanlows Bank central office.
I repeat, fire at Hanlows Bank.
And through the smoke and confusion,
these guys just appeared from nowhere,
and there was a fight and a shot went off.
SIREN BLARES
Roll call, can confirm
two women and one man unaccounted for.
Yeah, we've located two of them.
One has been shot.
Where are they?
They're in the vault.
It all happened really quickly.
Um...
They were in the vault for just a minute, but they cleaned it out.
Robbery reported at Hanlows Bank.
Suspects have fled the scene.
We believe they're in a brown Vandura van.
Licence - Echo, One, Six, Four,
Hotel, Echo, Oscar.
Suspects are armed and considered extremely dangerous.
I don't think I've ever been so scared in my life.
So, these guys manage to break into
one of the most secure vaults in the city
without any help from someone on the inside?
Wait, you...
You don't think I had something to do with this, do you?
SIREN BLARES
SHE LAUGHS
I've had some thoughts on the restructuring of operations
on the floor.
Urgh.
I believe... we could increase security
and productivity by at least 10%.
SHE SIGHS
How do I look?
You look nice. Very professional.
Hey, can you help me out?
Popping tags now, yeah, Mum?
IN ACCENT: Yeah, well, I am the original gangster, so...
Ah!
Do you know, I hate bloody appraisals.
If you want to be a high-flying banking exec,
you need to start behaving like one.
Yeah, you're right.
Do you know what, I am going to own the room.
You don't even own this flat.
Yeah, or my car. Hm?
Right, I better run. Hey, good luck in your exam.
I am dead proud of you.
You're late, Jerry.
Two minutes! What do you mean?
Three.
Have a great day, Rowan.
DOOR BEEPS
Thanks.
GENERAL CHATTER
Good morning, Trevor.
I think I know you by now, Rowan.
SHE CHUCKLES Rules are rules. I'll see you later.
Hey, morning, Ange. Morning.
How was parents' evening? Fantastic, thank you.
Good.
Morning. How you doing?
Good morning, Varisha.
Morning.
How are you?
Tired. You?
Eh, still broke!
VARISHA CHUCKLES
SHE SIGHS Right.
Yep, thank you.
There we go, darling. Have a lovely day.
Mrs Gregory, back so soon!
Is Rowan free?
Because I know she's always looking forward to seeing you.
Aren't you, Row?
Is that Mrs Gregory? Yeah, she's got some coins.
Aw, send her my way.
Nice to see you again.
I can help you with that.
Nice to see you, too.
Hello, Mrs Gregory.
Thank you.
Gosh, that's a lot today, isn't it?
You know me, Rowan.
Thank you.
My pleasure. No, the pleasure is all mine.
And if there's ever anything you want,
just ask for me - Varisha.
"If you ever want anything then please just ask, it's Varisha"?
It's called customer service.
Is it, now?
Right.
There you go, Mrs Gregory.
That's £55 gone into your savings account.
Have a lovely day, darling.
Thanks, dear.
Right, I'm going to get these deposits down to the vault
before Powell starts these
bloody appraisals. PHONE RINGS
Powell's ringing me. I think I'm up next. What?
Hello.
Hi, Mr Powell. Yep.
Yes, I shall be right there. Thanks.
Bye. Bye.
What, already?
Well, I guess he doesn't want to do the deposits, then.
Nice of him to let me know.
He could have saved me the trip down to the vaults
to set the bloody time locks.
Well, you know Powell.

Where you off to, bruv?
Hop in, I'll give you a ride.
Nah, you're all right.
What, your mum still won't let you hang out with me, eh?
Come on, I'll even let you take her for a spin.
Nah, I can't.

So, how's things at home, bro?
Your mum still obsessing about you going to uni?
Yeah. Opportunities and all that.
Mate, you want opportunities?
You should come work with me.
Yeah?
HORN BEEPS Bro!
Keep your eyes on the road, fam.
Actually, you know what?
I should probably be getting back to college.
I've got an exam.
Yeah, no problem.
It's this left.
What are we doing here anyway?
All right, just pull up here.
I just need to pop in there for a sec.
I need to get to my exam.
Don't worry, man, we'll get you to your exam.
What are we doing here, Conor?
Jesus Christ, what the fuck?
Hey, relax, man.
CONOR SCOFFS I'm going. Thanks for the ride.
You won't get very far round here, Finn.
I ain't joking.
You ever heard of Kristof Ballage?
Well, he's my boss.
And you do not fuck around with him.
And this here is his heroin, right?
And inside there is his money.
So just wait here and keep a watch out
for anything that looks like police.
We can't fuck this up, you get me?
Fucking hell.

Welcome to Hanlows.
We pride ourselves on looking after your needs,

and where you want to go.
'Open your eyes to a new way of working,
'a new way of safeguarding your money,
'a new way of helping you make the right choice
'to build a brighter future...' PHONE RINGS
'..for your family.' Yes, sir.
'Your money, our bank.'
Miss Taylor?
'Hanlows...' Mr Powell is ready to see you now.
'..it's just business - better.'
HE CLICKS TONGUE
Miss Taylor, thank you for coming to see us.
So, as I'm sure you've heard,
we're doing some restructuring.
Yes, I've had some thoughts, actually,
on the restructuring of operations on the floor.
I think we could increase security and productivity...
Thanks. I appreciate your thoughts on that.
Unfortunately, part of the restructuring
is going to involve...
..downsizing.
And we've had to make some really difficult decisions...
Downsizing? Sorry...
Sorry, with respect, erm...
Well, we're stretched enough as it is.
If we downsize, we're just going to...
We're gonna limit ourselves even more,
which is kind of the point I was just about to make.
I think we can increase security and productivity by 10%
if we just...
I'm not sure you fully understand what I'm getting at, Miss Taylor.
No, I do, I think. Yeah, you're saying that...
Erm, actually, no, I don't.
Sorry, can you just explain it to me? Sorry.
We will be putting together a modest redundancy for you.
What?
No. Uh...
No, I need this job.
My son is going to university at the end of summer.
This is going to impact on him if I...
You'll get a good reference.
You've been a real asset at Hanlows,
and we really... We really appreciate that.
Really...
And if you've got any questions at all,
just pop them in an email
and HR will be more than happy to answer them, OK?
OK.
Bro, open the bag.
You ever seen 25 grand before?
No.
Mad, innit?
I'm going to walk from here.
Relax, I'll take you.
Where the fuck you going, man?
Where are you going?
I've got 50 quid here for you.
50 quid for five minutes' work.
It's not too bad, is it?
And, look, when you get to my level,
you start making some serious money.
I don't want your money, Conor.
SIRENS BLARE
Quick, take the fucking bag, get it somewhere safe.

What are you doing? You can't come in here!
Where'd he go?
Lost him. I'm coming back out the front.
So?
What happened?
They're downsizing - I just got a month's notice.
What? Yeah.
No! You?
They can't get rid of you. That's bloody ridiculous.
Bastards. PHONE RINGS
Hello?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm on my way, thank you.
ROWAN SIGHS
I'm next.
Good luck, mate.
Bloody redundancy.
How can they do that to us?
We have been there longer than anybody.
You should have seen his smug face.
It made me want to just... Oh!
The way I see it, right, there are 11 floor staff, two supervisors,
three security guards, all costing, what, 350 grand a year,
but they're ploughing all their resources into online banking
and cyber security.
Which is all well and good, and I get it,
but it just means there's a decrease in customer services
and an increase in security risk.
It is a nightmare.
Did you say all that at the appraisal?
Oh, yeah.
No, of course not.
CAR BEEPS
There he is - Captain Downsize.
You know what they say, don't you?
Big car - very, very small...
See you.

Hey, that was some Usain Bolt shit you pulled back there, mate.
'You're getting more attention.'

It doesn't look like it to me.
Where's my money?
The money's safe.
Someone has it.
Who?
DOOR OPENS
Well, finally!
I was starting to get worried.
Hey.
What's going on, darling?
Mum...
What's happened?
Come on. Talk to me. Talk to me.
I fucked up.
Hey, hey, hey. Shh.
It's all right.
It's OK.
Shh, it's OK. It's all right. I'm sorry. Hey.
I waited for the police to leave and then I went back for the money
but it was already gone. I swear to God.
It's all right, darling. I believe you.
Will Conor give your name to the police?
He's a mate. I don't think...
No, he's not.
Mates don't take you on drug drops!
Look, we'll just go down there
and we'll explain everything to them, all right?
We can't go to the police.
You know how it works down here.
Listen, darling, I know you're scared, all right,
but we have no choice.
Hmm?
Come on, let's go.
HE SIGHS
Finn, come on.
ROWAN GASPS
Off out somewhere?
You must be Rowan.
And you must be Finn.
I believe you have something of mine.
Where are your manners?
Aren't you going to invite me in?
Go to your room, Finn.
No, Finn. Don't go to your room.
We have so much to talk about.
Take a seat.
What's this - Chinese?
Mm-hm.
I haven't had a chance to eat all day.
So, Finn...
..where's my money? Hm?
Conor said you were looking after it for me.
He doesn't have it.
He was being chased by the police and he had to throw it away.
It wasn't his fault.
I was afraid that you were going to say something like that.
But it's the truth.
Mm-hm.
Back home I grew up in a place like this, you know?
We had nothing, and my poor mother,
I made her life hell.
We moved here so I could give her a taste of a better life.
I think - well, I hope - I made up for it in the end.
Nice car, nice clothes.
I'm going to need that 25 grand.
Otherwise Finn might not get the chance
to make up for the trouble he's caused you.
Right, it was just... It was Conor's fault, not Finn's.
HE BANGS TABLE
When Finn took the money, it became his to protect.
Now he has a debt to pay - just as I have debts to pay.
And when debts don't get paid...
..people die.
Yeah, but look around you, I mean, I don't have that kind of money.
I understand you completely.
That's why I'm going to give you three days.
Sorry, no, that's impossible.
Even if you gave me three months,
I wouldn't be able to come up with that kind of money.
SHE GASPS No.
Are you sure about that?
Please, don't...
All right, OK. OK.
Good.
And... if you try to run
or go to the police, I'll find out.
Believe me when I tell you that.
And then...
things will get a lot more complicated.
Thanks for the Chinese.
ROWAN GASPS
SOBBING: What are we going to do, Mum?
It's all right. It's OK. It's all right. It's going to be OK.
'Please continue to hold.
'Your business is important to us.
'Here at DL Payday Loans, we know that life can throw you curveballs.'
'Thank you for holding, Miss Taylor.
'Your credit check has come back and...'
Sorry, I-I didn't think it was necessary for a credit check
for a payday loan.
'I can see that you have quite a substantial loan outstanding.'
Yeah, but...
That wasn't even my loan in the first place, it was my dad's, Mal.
'But it's your name attached to the loan.'
No. Yeah...
Yeah, no, I know my name is on it, but...
'Like I said, it's quite a substantial loan.'
It's just, I've been paying it back for ten years,
and I've not missed...
'And there's also an outstanding car loan.
'So, unfortunately, we're not...' All right, thank you, bye.
SHE SIGHS Mum?
Yeah?
You all right? Yeah, I'm good.
Anything?
Eh, no, not yet, darling.
You work in a bank - couldn't you get them to give you a loan?
No bank is going to give me a loan, sweetheart.
You've got your grandad to thank for that.
What are we going to do, Mum?
It's... Uh...
Right, look, you stay here and you do not move, all right?
And you do not answer that door, do you understand me?
Do you understand me?
Right, you stay there.
I will be back.
Well, I mean, it's accounts
that will be putting the redundancy package together,
but I think the standard is, you know,
a month's pay per year of service, so....
Yeah, that's roughly 16,500.
Yeah, give or take, yeah.
Would it be possible to get an advance on that?
Excuse me?
Well, I would never, ever normally ask, but...
a few bills have come in all at once and I'm a little bit...
Well, I'm a lot short, so...
Well, I mean, you really should have
put a nest egg aside over the years, you know.
I mean, none of us know what the future has in store.
Right.
Look, let's not get into that, but it's not going to be possible.
The redundancies need to be processed,
the paperwork needs to be signed off.
I mean, you know how it is -
it's not like we can just go down to the vault and take the cash out.
HE CHUCKLES
I tell you what I'll do,
I'll set you up with a consultation
with Peter down in financial affairs - free of charge.
OK? OK.
Yeah, thank you very much, Mr Powell.

No, I didn't.
Someone came to the house.
Who?
One of Kristof's men? You didn't let him in, did you?
No.
Maybe it was the police.
Yeah, well, I don't know, lovie, but you did the right thing.
What's that?
It's your grandmother's engagement ring.
Somehow she managed to hide it from your grandad,
she gave it to me just before she passed away.
You're not going to sell it, are you? Yes, I am.
And the laptop. Go on, go and get it.
Look, with the money we make from this,
we'll be able to buy ourselves some time.
He's a businessman, he'll understand.
Go on. Go.

I can give you 1,500 for it.

Yeah, no, I'm fine.

In fact, she was pretty agitated. You should talk to her.
Officer, take his statement.
Miss Taylor? Mm-hm.
I'm Detective Inspector Simmons.
I know it's been an ordeal. I'm sorry.
Can you provide us with a description of any of them?
Was there anything about these guys that stood out?
Anything that could help identify them?
That's right. And they knew what they were after.
They had 50 grand of the best jewellery out of that case,
they had 60 grand out of my safe,
and I change that number every week,
so how did they know the number, eh?

and try and fucking blackmail me? SHE SCOFFS
I advise you to think very carefully about what you're doing.

they do not fuck about. And they'll be back here any minute.
