The Boy You Were
The episode opens with an elderly woman Sadie (Ann Mitchell) making financial transactions. She is laundering money.
By the end of the episode, Sadie is revealed to be lawyer Edwyn Cooper's (Dominic Cooper) mother.
DCI Brian Boyce goes to Switzerland to find out the names of Swiss bank account holders. Although the country has strict privacy laws, names can be disclosed if terrorism is involved.
A cunning ruse where Boyce gets the names of Edwyn Cooper and Gordon Parry being read out at court. After that Boyce just needs to follow the money trail of these two guys
Only issues is that as a Freemason, senior police officers are protecting Cooper.
Meanwhile John Palmer is investing in timeshares in Spain. It includes making payoffs to make sure things go smoothly. This includes being tipped off by the local police in case Scotland Yard come sniffing about.
I guess libel laws means that even in true life cases you have invent fictional or composite characters. The trouble is Edwyn Cooper is not a real person, but his cohort Gordon Parry is.
It suggests that even the true life story had to be sexed up a little. Unfortunately it is all a bit too dry and dull.
