Today's buyer wishes to remain anonymous.

'However, Sotheby's

says the buyer plans...

'...for the stone to be the

centrepiece of a necklace...

Or to be sold for

starving children.

'...for one lucky lady

likely to be extremely happy

'with her gift this evening.

'Coming up on Sky News at seven...'

Oh, bloody hell!

OK.

Ken, I'm coming for you.

Oh, twice in one week. What

have I done to deserve this?

- Kate, we need to talk.

- Not now, Richard. I'm busy.

- Please, I just need to...

- Hello!

- Hello, Ken.

- Look, no flowers!

Well done!

- Oh, it's you again.

- Ken. Again, hi.

Kate, I need to speak to you.

- I'll see you...

- Yes...

OK, great. Looking forward.

- Have you been drinking?

- No... Yes.

- Look, what difference does it make?

- A lot of difference.

You're prone to exaggeration

and wild statements of intent.

Look, there are big

problems at the office.

Please, tell it to Anastasia or

Michaela or whoever the latest is...

Culco has gone into receivership.

The new owners have stripped us of any

value and run us into the ground.

The shares are worthless.

My pension, your pension,

was all tied up in those shares.

The mortgage payments on my place,

this place, the kids' university fees,

everything we'd saved up for

them afterwards, it's all gone.

Kate, I virtually had the

whole company on board.

Marcus, Janice, I even

got Doreen involved.

Come on.

What do we know about these guys?

Lavco. They came in hard

and fast out of nowhere.

The holding company traded

by the name of Lexon.

We were persuaded to integrate

our pension fund into theirs.

Turns out Lexon was hollow, toxic.

So when they turned to

dust, so did our pension.

There's always someone

bigger behind these things,

someone who manages to wipe

their hands clean and move on.

- Still allergic to cat hair?

- Worse than ever.

Go on, Rumpy, sit on him.

- I see you got your PhD.

- Yeah.

- So, how's life as a lecturer?

- Under-paid.

- What are the students like?

- Under-motivated.

Could you just stop

fidgeting and sit down?

I'm on the site but I can't get any

real info. I'm being blocked.

We need a password.

- We need...

- Matt.

We need Matt.

'Mum, you do know

hacking is illegal.'

'I know, Matt and I would never

want you to do anything illegal.

'But I wondered if you could just...

accidentally stumble into it.'

Accidentally stumble into it?

- 'Son, do as your mother asks.'

- Dad?

- What are you doing there?

- 'It's a long story, Matty boy.

'But right now it's payback time

on that misspent youth I funded.'

- 'We funded.'

- OK, hold on.
