Fill or Kill
Wed, Jan 21, 202642 mins
Trade processor Zara Dunne (SOPHIE TURNER) welcomes intern Myrtle Clarke (ELOISE THOMAS) to Lochmill Capital, a pension fund investment management firm based in The Scalpel. A group of highly trained armed robbers, led by "London" (JONATHAN SLINGER), take the office hostage and use phone jammers to prevent outside communication. London's team forces processor Luke (ARCHIE MADEKWE) to commit trades worth over £4 billion, members of the investment committee to approve them, and Zara to confirm with the custodian bank. This clears out almost all of the firm's capital. Receptionist Donny (RICHARD DAVID-CAINE) signals the neighboring Leadenhall Building for help and is beaten. The robbers flee when the money hits their account and before Greater London Police AFO's arrive. DCI Rhys Covaci (JACOB FORTUNE-LLOYD) is assigned to lead the investigation and tells Zara she is a significant witness. Recovering from a nosebleed, Zara smiles when she overhears colleagues suggesting the robbery was an inside job.

Zara and Luke are revealed to be implicated, and both receive £5 million in Bitcoin instead of the promised £100k for providing their logins. Zara hides her cold wallet at her estranged mother Haley's (ANASTASIA HILLE) house. Luke feels pressure after being questioned by Covaci and financial investigator Darren Yoshida (ANDREW KOJI). Covaci is told by his superior, DSU Nichols (PATRICK O'KANE), there is another level to the investigation. Yoshida discovers the money was sent to accounts in the British Virgin Islands. Covaci attends an unlicensed casino to gamble. Luke is surveilled by both the police as well as London and his team. Increasingly paranoid, he calls Covaci and asks to meet him. Zara witnesses robbers Burly (SHAUN MASON), Junior (SPIKE LEIGHTON) and Sniper (ANDREW HOWARD) kidnap Luke from his flat, but he injures Burly with a screwdriver. She finds a discarded tranquilizer vial with Sniper's bloody fingerprint on it, but is confronted by Covaci who arrives as she leaves the building.

In a flashback, Zara and Luke meet with London's team, who claim to be hackers wanting to rob a controversial tobacco fund. They agree to provide their logins for £100k each. Zara claims she was at Luke's flat to check up on him. Covaci has MI5 officer Sam Fitch (CALEB OBEDIAH) join his team. Fitch and DI Ellie Lloyd (ELLIE JAMES) take Zara's statement, but Lloyd becomes suspicious when he tries to pull surveillance on her. Covaci is shown to be in debt to his bookie. Yoshida discovers via unofficial channels the British Virgin Islands accounts are linked to defense contractor Gould-Simmons. Zara lifts Sniper's fingerprint from the vial and threatens London's team with it. Haley steals Zara's cold wallet and demands 20% in exchange for it as she lost her pension.

Risk On
Wed, Jan 21, 202652 mins
Zara reluctantly agrees to work with Covaci against MI5 in exchange for protection and leniency. She gives him the fingerprint, and he discovers the abandoned warehouse that London's team worked from. Covaci suggests someone senior at Lochmill is involved. Zara finds information implicating the risk management team. The police link Gould-Simmons, the arms manufacturer, to the money after Yoshida leaks his discovery to The Times. Covaci and Fitch interview CEO Sir Toby Gould (PETER MULLAN), who says the money was hacked from his account (along with £147 million of his own funds) shortly after being transferred, and provides bank statements. Sniper becomes paranoid about Zara having his print and the team being confined to a safe-house with Luke by their employer. Luke tries to bribe Sniper to free him, as he has already been paid. Covaci struggles to find an additional £100k to clear his gambling debts. Zara is kidnapped.
Episode 5
Pay Yourself First
Wed, Jan 21, 202648 mins
Zara is taken to an MI5 official, who pressures her to further research and identify the Lochmill insider in exchange for a new identity. Having grown closer, Covaci and Zara sleep together. A further leak implicates the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, Andrew Bains (PETER DE JERSEY), receiving the stolen money. Zara's checks implicate risk analyst Milo Carter-Walsh (HARRY MICHELL), who received £20 million and chose to implicate himself for an early retirement. When confronted, Milo tells Zara he and Luke implicated her because they needed a 'fall guy.' Milo reluctantly gives her the number of who recruited him, which she passes to MI5. They provide her new identity documents and 24 hours to leave the UK. Zara successfully swaps her cold wallet with a decoy, convincing mother Haley it was wiped when she tried to access it. Paranoid Sniper kills Junior and takes captive Luke, and the rest of London's team flees. The fingerprint identifies Sniper as Morgan Trahern, but Covaci and Lloyd arrive at the safe-house after MI5 have raided it. Covaci is suspended. Zara is confronted by Sniper at her flat.
Episode 6
Dead Cat Bounce
Wed, Jan 21, 202654 mins
Sniper takes Zara's cold wallet and steals Milo's after killing him. After obtaining Milo's access codes at the Lochmill offices, Luke and Zara fight Sniper when he prepares to kill them. Covaci intervenes to save Zara, but is injured when London's team arrives. Zara discovers they don't know who hired them. Luke escapes when Sniper kills his former colleagues. Using Covaci's Taser, Zara is able to kill the injured Sniper, but he implicates the police before dying. The £4 billion is returned to Lochmill Capital after passing through dozens of public figures' accounts, implicating them in using tax havens. Milo is named as the mastermind in the press, with Zara and Luke giving their cold wallets to MI5 to avoid prison and they resign from Lochmill Capital to start a new life. Covaci is fired, and has to sell his house to pay his debts. He then deduces Yoshida, a radical former financier now disillusioned with the wealth system, was behind the entire operation, making it a 'fireworks' show. Rhys and Zara turn down a £10 million bribe from him to keep quiet, but later she reveals she kept a hold of Milo's cold wallet, containing a laundered £20 million, for them to share instead as they walk away together.
